What if #2... What if you have family BBQ's, birthday parties, block parties, or maybe you're even planning a wedding and you told folks they HAD TO bring one can of food per person to donate to the local food bank? How about a wedding with an open bar that isn't "open" unless you bring a can of food to donate? Maybe a graduation party, bachelor or bachelorette party in the coming months? "Bring your dancing shoes and a nonperishable food item to donate to our local food bank!" Tailgating plans in the fall? Holiday parties at home or at work? Oscar parties? New Years Eve parties? Make it a habit, including it in each invitation so that your guests become programmed to your requests, community based compassion, and KNOW that they better step up to the plate! Bring a dish to pass and one food item. It's so stupid easy, right? One can, one box, one bag... it's doable. We just have to do it!

Litigation Funding is one of those financial products that has crept up on us. From a standing start a couple of decades ago, it has quietly become a £10bn asset class globally, assisted in the UK by efforts to make civil litigation more accessible (notably the Jackson Reforms).
In principle, anything that keeps a lid on litigation costs and provides prospective plaintiffs with better management of their risks is probably a good thing. And yet… whether the UK will really keep costs down, or follow the big bucks (for lawyers) path of the US, remains to be seen.
To make the case for the defence of Litigation Funding, and its benefits for plaintiffs and investors, we are pleased to welcome Susan Dunn. Susan is a co-founder and head of litigation at Harbour LF, a £760m fund headquartered in the UK that sponsors commercial suits all over the globe. She is a founding member of the industry's self-regulating body, the Association of Litigation Funders, and a contributor to the UK's Civil Justice Council report and the consequent Jackson Review of Costs.
Elena Rey-Sabinina is a partner in Brown Rudnick's Finance Group in London and senior member of the European Special Situations practice. Elena holds law degrees from Harvard University and MSU, is admitted to practice in England & Wales, and is also a member of the New York and Russian bars.
Rachael Mulheron is Professor in Tort Law and Civil Justice at Queen Mary University London. She is a member of the Civil Justice Council (CJC) of England and Wales, chair of the MOJ's Civil Litigation Review Working Party, and frequently publishes on matters of costs and damages (including Litigation Funding).

Food stamps go a longer way
by Samantha Winslow November 1, 2010 November 8, 2013
The news: The U.S. Census Bureau reported in September that 11.7 million households reported participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps–"a 19.8 percent increase from the previous year.
Behind the news: The use of food stamps saw an increase of more than 20 percent among Asian and Latino households in Cook County between July 2009 and July 2010, according to a Chicago Reporter analysis of the Illinois Department of Human Services data.
African-American and white families, meanwhile, saw modest increases of 7 percent and 13 percent, respectively, during the same period.
"I would look at these numbers and certainly be concerned that the economy isn't picking up and maybe is getting worse particularly for Asians and Latinos," said Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, an assistant professor who studies children's health and food consumption at Northwestern University's Institute for Policy Research.
But Schanzenbach added that the increased participation in the food stamp program is a positive sign that people who need help are getting signed up more effectively–"a fact she attributed to more effective outreach efforts to educate and enroll families in need.
"Outreach programs, which I believe are new, have done a better job for people with children who haven't been connected to these networks as strongly in the past," she said.

Repercussions of solar high energy protons on ozone layer during super storms
Asheesh Bhargawa, Mohd Yakub, Ashok Kumar Singh
We are very aware of the importance of the ozone layer, without which life on the Earth would not have evolved in the way it has. Solar storms carry energetic protons into the Earth's upper atmosphere, where they boost production of nitrogen oxides which are known as ozone killers and which ultimately increase ultraviolet (UV) radiations. In the present study, we estimate the effects of solar energetic protons during super storms (Dst index < −300 nT) over the total ozone column for the last 32 yr. We select a total of seven super storm events that occurred during solar cycles 22–24 (for the last 32 yr) having Dst index < −300 nT. To that end, we apply superposed epoch analysis (SEA) to verify the impact of storm events on the quantitative variation of total ozone column and on UV radiations during super storm events. After completing the empirical analysis, we conclude that the ozone column gets depleted significantly (22±6.8%) as proton density increases during super storm events and this decrement in the ozone level is further responsible for a substantial increase (26±11.2%) in peak UV radiation intensities.

Who was voted off 'Survivor' this week? (April 11) Did Mason's Angela Perkins advance?
Spoiler alert! Here's the Episode 8 recap as we keep a close eye on Angela Perkins as she tries to win "Survivor: Ghost Island."
Spoiler alert! Scroll down to see who was voted off this week (April 11).
Last week, Bradley – of Naviti – was voted off, much to the surprise of ... yeah, just Bradley. But the big news came out that this week is MERGE WEEK! There are a ton of immunity idols and advantages out there; so, let's get to it and see how Mason's Angela Perkins fits into the new world of the single tribe.
As with all merges, things started off with a huge feast while everyone tried on their new black buffs. The Domenick/Chris feud again took center stage. Chris found a clue to a hidden immunity idol, with a catch. The idol is hidden on Ghost Island and he'll have to sneak out and leave the island on a boat to go get it.
Wendell and Domenick approached Chris to see if they could squash their beef and work together, but Chris wasn't having any of that, he'd rather go pop open some wine and plan his escape.
As night fell on Lavita (the new tribe name), Chris headed out to catch his boat ride to Ghost Island. And he sure was proud of himself for his sneakiness. The idol he found is only good for one week, but then he played a 50/50 game to extend the life of the idol. In the end, he lost his vote in the next tribal, but the idol is good to use in one of the next two tribals. Cute little game, "Survivor" gods.
Now, on to the first individual immunity challenge. (Boy, Angela sure has been quiet so far!) The challenge is to balance a wooden statue on a long pole. Oh, there's Angela. She's out of the challenge early as her island knick-knack fell to the sand.
The wind really made this one a challenge and a half. And Kellyn won the immunity necklace after an all-female final three.
And the Domenick vs. Chris show continued. Chris took everyone but Wendell and Domenick to the water well to lay out his plan to get rid of one of the other two. Sneaky, sneaky, again, sir.
What's next? Oh yeah, more of the Dom v. Chris saga. Rinse, repeat.
Let's get to tribal council now, Jeff.
Wait, what? Chris had to light his torch at tribal, that means he has never been to a tribal council before. This deep in the game? Wow.
Dom and Chris were both given the floor to tell their own version of the genesis of their hatred for each other. Angela fielded a question and quietly said she was basically just going with the flow. Smart.
For the first time that I've ever seen, Dom called out "CHRIS NOBLE" incredibly audibly as he put his vote in the jar. Wendell had some advice for Chris, "Quit rapping."
After the votes were cast, Dom played his legacy advantage idol. And Chris didn't play his idol! And Chris "The Rapper" was sent packing. Wow. Surprisingly, like a real gamesman, Chris gave Dom a hug as he left. Good play, brother.
Next week on "Survivor": Yes! They are gonna be eating gross stuff! Eyes and bugs and woo hoo! That should be fun.

What makes inclusion a wicked problem?
Inclusive services in early childhood rely on early childhood educators' abilities to support children's access to activities and environments, as well as their ability to fully participate in those activities and environments (DEC/NAEYC, 2009). Both the National Quality Framework (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, 2012) and the national Early Years Learning Framework (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, 2009) use inclusion as a central principle within their respective stances.
While the field clearly supports and values inclusion as a guiding principle in services for young children with disabilities, one might ask why we have not yet been able to achieve full inclusion in the year 2017. Using the work of Rittel and Webber (1973), we propose several reasons why inclusion fits the definition of a wicked problem, which requires a solution seeking approach instead of a problem solving approach.
So how does inclusion stack up as a wicked problem?
Every wicked problem is essentially unique. Applied to inclusion, while every child has the right to be fully included in early childhood programs and services, so too every child and family is different, has different needs, habits, skills. Differences in children and their families may far outweigh the similarities across children and families, so every plan to support their inclusion is one-of-a-kind.
Solutions to wicked problems are not true-or-false, but good-or-bad. There is no right way to "do" inclusion. The parties involved in the process, primarily children, families and early childhood educators, are "equally equipped, interested and/or entitled" to determine if inclusion has been successfully achieved. And success may be defined very differently for each, based on their values, needs and interests. Early childhood educators and program administrators may have incentives to support "inclusion" yet families may be more interested in individualised supports for their child. A solution might be viewed as satisfying for a family, yet only good enough for the early childhood educator.
Every wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problem. In the words of Rittel and Webber, "problems can be described as discrepancies between the state of affairs as it is and the state as it ought to be" (p. 165). To address these problems, one starts with the generation of potential explanations for the discrepancy. Does inclusion continue to be a persistent problem as a symptom a changing workforce, lack of training, administrative support, limited resources, different philosophical approaches?
The planner has no right to be wrong. Ensuring young children have access to and can participate in activities and environments with their peers with and without disability matters to those individual children and families. There is no opportunity for a "do over" given the limited time they are in early childhood programs. And our ability to ensure their access and participation has implications for their long-term educational journey.
In a second blog post of this two part series we consider what design thinking might say about each of these challenges.
John Nash and Beth Rous are the keynote presenters at the ECIA NSW/ACT's Inclusion Symposium, Partners in Practice in Sydney on 30th November 2017. Learn more about this event and register here.
As a preview to their presentation at the Symposium, John and Beth hosted a 30 minute webinar titled Exploring Design Thinking as a solution to inclusion's challenges . To view a recording of this session click here.
John Nash (john.nash@uky.edu) is Department Chair and Associate Professor of Educational Leadership Studies at the University of Kentucky and the founding director of the Laboratory on Design Thinking in Education, or dLab. John is a specialist in the application of human centered design in education. He teaches a range of courses on design thinking, school technology leadership, and school reform. His current research agenda focuses on the methods to design and prototype innovations in education. He has held faculty positions at Iowa State University and the University of Texas at El Paso.
Beth Rous (brous@uky.edu) is Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership Studies, College of Education, and Research and Policy Associate at Human Development Institute, at University of Kentucky. She is a former special education teacher at the preschool, elementary and middle school levels. Since 1990, she has secured over $97 million in federal and state grants/contracts to support the design and large-scale implementation of early care and education programs with a focus on children from vulnerable populations.
