2021 Chevy Blazer Full-Size Colors, Price, For Sale, Specs
December 5, 2020 by Janet J. Humphreys
2021 Chevy Blazer Full-Size Colors, Price, For Sale, Specs – Before we talk relating to this pixel portrait, let's consider one or two sentences to zoom in on the scenario of the new Blazer. Confident, the vehicle blends a myriad of possessions, from its modern style and its functional nature to a lot of technology features. Nonetheless, especially seeing that Ford has swept the vehicle market off its feet with the aid of the new body-on-framework Bronco, it's very difficult to neglect the crossover nature of the golden bowtie model.

And it's not just the 2021 Bronco that offers the new Blazer a hard time, as the listing of suitable SUVs one can buy in modern instances comes with devices this kind of as the Jeep Wrangler and the Toyota FJ Cruiser (granted, the Japanese model was stopped very last ten years). Going back to the rendering, it integrates the now-classic K5 Blazer with the modern-day Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck – the Trail Boss incarnation of the second option was selected, as this is preparing critical offroading expertise.

And whilst the entrance end is more in-depth, we could obviously see that the operation also incorporates the Silverado's taillights, for a comprehensive change. Discussing which, we will need to give thanks to digital brand C_ZR1 for this pixel portrait (pixel idea to 1320video for enhancing the presence of the original submit). Now, what happens if we had been to include the Trail Boss' accessible 6.2-liter V8 in the situation? You know, just to provide that sweet eight-cylinder smell the Bronco is absent, at minimum for the time getting – never be concerned, regardless of whether Ford determines to go on playing exclusively on the EcoBoost turbocharged four- and six-cylinder cards, there may be plenty and plenty of upgraded conversion rates of the organize.
There are currently three layouts offered for the mid-size SUV, so there is no should put everything else. Nicely, a hybrid may well be fascinating, if technical engineers have the ability to track it for the 2021 Chevy K5 Blazer. The base installation consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a nine-speed auto gearbox. The switching is clean and the blend is great for 193 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque. A front-wheel-drive is the only choice, so the small prevent is not planning to be under the hood of the Z71 version for positive. A far more powerful 2.0-liter turbo-four is also improbable to feature for the off-road model. But, the engine is modernizing outputs to 230 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and adds an all-wheel-drive as the optional system. Eventually, there is a trustworthy 3.6-liter V6 with 308 hp, which is favored to seem like the major drivetrain of the 2021 Chevy K5 Blazer Z71. Entrance- and all-wheel drive are readily available, and the fuel economy is not also bad, achieving 22 mpg mixed.

The new Z71 model will become a member of the pre-existing collection, which is not gonna go through any change. The base edition is L and incorporation with smart devices was a top priority. The updates are approaching with three various LT offers. The LT3 is there with a turbo engine, natural leather covers, and warmed seating. The RS is a sport package with a special suspension installation and V6 engine. The navigation is common. There are no also many improvements remaining, but the K5 Blazer Premier will make use of every feature to further improve the supply. Right here, you will find background lighting, Bose audio, and ventilated entrance buckets.
The rates commence at $30,000 with a spot cost. The LT will prove to add $3,500 and much more, based upon the level you decide on. Premier sickly success $45,000 and that is the priciest provide right up until the Z71 originates out. Nonetheless, we anticipate it under $50k, given that the off-road professional will focus much more on the capabilities, than premium equipment.

Mitt Romney announcing his presidential candidacy in New Hampshire on Thursday.
Is America ready for a Mormon president?
By Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor
(CNN) - Mitt Romney's campaign team knows that his Mormon faith scared off Republican voters the last time he ran for president.
But they believe a lot has changed in the last four years.
For starters, Romney is now much better known. The former Massachusetts governor campaigned hard in the 2008 primaries – even addressing his Mormonism head-on in a major speech — and has stayed in the public eye since, popping up on late-night talk shows and on cable news channels.
Romney's Mormonism, the thinking goes, is less exotic than it was four years ago because the candidate is more familiar.
Plus, unlike in 2008, there's a Democrat in the White House for Republican voters to unite against. The Romney camp hopes the Obama factor will boost support for a battle-tested candidate who's shown he can raise the hundreds of millions of dollars White House bids require, regardless of the candidate's religious affiliation.
And unlike the 2008 Republican primaries, when George W. Bush was in the White House and debate over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan loomed large, next year's elections are poised to hang on the economy. Not a bad time, maybe, for a guy with a Harvard MBA and a career spent turning around financially troubled companies and the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"The country's really in a tough situation — the economy's in a bad place and so people suddenly think that a guy with Mitt Romney's capacity and experience looks a lot more attractive than he did four years ago," says Mark DeMoss, a senior adviser to Romney's campaign, which launched Thursday.
"That makes his faith much less of an issue than it was four years ago," says DeMoss, who is tasked with helping Romney woo evangelical voters, a huge chunk of the GOP base and a constituency that's historically been wary of Mormonism.
Whether DeMoss is right may make the difference in whether Romney, the current Republican frontrunner based on polls and fundraising, can actually win the Republican nomination and, ultimately, the White House.
But Romney may not be the only Mormon running for president. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is seriously flirting with a presidential bid.
Huntsman, Obama's former ambassador to China, recently took a five-day swing through New Hampshire, site of the first-in-the-nation Republican primary, and has hired staff in South Carolina, another key primary state.
The prospect of a Huntsman campaign means the nation could see an unprecedented test of whether the GOP — and, perhaps, the rest of the country — is ready for a Mormon president in an era when candidates' religious beliefs have become weighty campaign issues.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as the Mormon Church is officially known, certainly seems eager for Mormonism to be less an issue in the presidential race than it was for Romney in 2008
"Recent media coverage seems to lean toward the conclusion that among many Americans, faith will be less of an issue in this election than it was in 2008," church spokesman Michael Purdy said in a statement to CNN. "But it's really for others to speculate on this."
Public opinion polls suggest a lingering bias against Mormon candidates. A survey released Thursday by the Pew Research Center found that a quarter of American adults admit to being less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate for president.
The survey found that resistance to Mormon candidates was even higher among two groups: liberal Democrats and evangelicals, who overwhelmingly vote Republican. One in three white evangelicals said they were less likely to support a Mormon candidate.
That creates a stiff headwind for Romney and Huntsman, given evangelicals' primary power. In 2008, evangelicals accounted for 60 percent of Republican voters in Iowa, home to the first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses, and in South Carolina, whose primaries come hard on the heels of New Hampshire's.
In 2008, Romney's Mormonism "was a real factor in Iowa and South Carolina that predisposed many potential voters to never to consider Romney or hear his message," said Gary Marx, who directed conservative outreach for Romney the last time he ran.
That year, Romney placed second in Iowa and fourth in South Carolina behind then-frontrunner Mike Huckabee – a Baptist preacher who won major evangelical support.
Though Mormons consider themselves to be Christians, many evangelicals consider the Latter-day Saints to be a cult.
Evangelicals object to the Mormon belief that the Book of Mormon is the revealed word of God and to such Mormon practices as proxy baptisms for the dead. Evangelicals and Mormons also compete for converts.
Many evangelical leaders have discouraged their followers from translating such differences into opposition to Mormon candidates. But that message isn't always heeded.
"I don't think it's much of an issue among the leadership in evangelical circles," Michael Farris, an influential evangelical activist, says of Mormon candidates. "But I don't know if that is always true at the grassroots level."
Richard Land, who directs public policy for the Southern Baptist Convention, the country's largest evangelical denomination, says evangelicals could coalesce around Romney but that the conditions would have to be just right.
"If Southern Baptists have a choice between an evangelical candidate, a Catholic and a Mormon and all three appear to be equally conservative and equally likely to beat Barack Obama, they'll vote for the evangelical," says Land, who has informally advised Romney on how to deal with his faith on the campaign trail.
"If there's no such evangelical [in the] race, they'll vote for the Catholic," he says, "But if there's no other candidate who's likely to beat Obama, they'll vote for the Mormon."
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, an evangelical, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Catholic, are running for the GOP nomination.
Beyond theological challenges, conservative activists like Land and Farris say Romney faces skepticism among religious conservatives because he once supported abortion rights and signed a healthcare law in Massachusetts that critics say represented a dramatic government overreach.
But those close to Romney argue that Huckabee's decision not to enter the 2012 race creates an opportunity for Romney to pick up more evangelical support. Or, they say, it could wind up splitting evangelical voters among multiple primary candidates, making evangelicals a less potent force.
DeMoss, a Christian public relations executive who also helped Romney with evangelical outreach in 2008, says one of the victories from the last campaign was that no big-name evangelical came out against Romney over his Mormonism. This time, DeMoss is working to get some evangelical leaders to go a step further and publicly support Romney.
After Romney's 2008 defeat, one nationally known evangelical leader privately told DeMoss that he'd voted for Romney in the primaries.
"I remember thinking, it would have been nice if somebody else knew that," says DeMoss, who believes such revelations would have made more evangelicals comfortable supporting a Mormon candidate.
Huntsman's entry into the presidential race could make Mormonism less of an issue if it has a mainstreaming effect. But the two candidates' religious affiliations could play out quite differently.
Romney has long been active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), having occupied Mormon leadership positions like bishop (the rough equivalent of a lay pastor) and stake president (someone who oversees groups of Mormon congregations).
"I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it," Romney said in a December 2007 speech in which he addressed his Mormonism. "My faith is the faith of my fathers — I will be true to them and to my beliefs."
Huntsman, like Romney, spent two years abroad as a Mormon missionary but has kept some distance from the LDS church. As governor of Utah, he loosened liquor laws that had been inspired by Mormon orthodoxy and broke with his church in signing a law allowing civil unions for gay couples.
In a recent television interview, Huntsman affirmed his Mormon faith but added that Mormonism is "a very diverse and heterogeneous cross-section of people. ... I probably add to that diversity somewhat."
A Huntsman adviser who often deals with the media declined to respond to requests for comment.
Matthew Bowman, an editor at a Mormon studies journal called Dialogue, says Huntsman hails from a slightly younger generation of Mormons who are less defensive about their Mormonism.
"Huntsman is a Mormon who thinks of his faith not as something that separates him from American culture or as something he has to defend or explain away, which is what Romney did," says Bowman. "Romney is always hyperaware of his Mormonism."
That means Huntsman may face fewer questions about his Mormonism should he run.
The LDS church, for its part, says its policy is to steer clear of electoral politics. Some church observers say the controversy the church generated by supporting California's 2008 gay marriage ban, Proposition 8, exacerbated its political reticence.
At the same time, the church has capitalized on increased attention paid to Mormonism - provoked by everything from Romney's 2008 campaign to the current hit Broadway musical, "Book of Mormon" - with a succession of public awareness campaigns.
The church website Mormon.org, for example, was recently revamped with an eye toward educating non-Mormons about the religion. The site features video profiles of Mormons from different walks of life.
"The message of these ads is that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are your friends and neighbors," says Purdy, the church spokesman. "We are professionals and tradespeople, artists and teachers and everything in between."
Put another way, the message is that Mormons are normal, everyday Americans.
With the Republican primary race finally starting in earnest, the nation is about get a major glimpse into whether GOP voters agree.

After learning more about Mormonism by watching "8: The Mormon Proposition," the last thing an America that values its freedoms needs is to elect a Mormon president.

It would be nice if someday a presidential candidate's race, religion, gender or whatever generates no interest or controversy. But that's probably just wishful thinking on my part....
If we judged candidates on their merits instead of skin, religion, hair style or gender, what would we do with our time? This country makes me sick.

Really? You don't think religion shapes a person's decisions? This is the one thing I know to be true about Huntsman and Romney – they believe in the teachings of Joseph Smith. So Joseph Smith's philosophy has shaped their decisions until now, are you 100% sure that their interpretation of Joseph Smith's philosophy is in your best interests? Even if you are, why would you wish that the rest of us not know? I would like to be informed when I go to the polls, and not just about the stuff you think is important, I would like to go to the polls knowing the philosophy – the reasoning behind the decisions they will make that are not yet known.

Ignorance or Inflammatory. Mormons do not practice Polygamy. Discontinued in 1890...
Its obvious we now have our first Muslim president!
President Obama has never been a Muslim, you maroon.
NotaNut
Mormon? More like Morons... come on, Christianity is hard enough justify. Throw in some aliens and distant planets into the mix and your going to be hard pressed to have any intelligent followers.
That's Scientology, not Mormonism
What do you people have against mormons????

Obama has a proven track record now, a mile wide and 1 inch deep. Blacks don't even realize what socialism is. Look who has been hurt the worst under this administration of "never been in the private sector, but I is a professor so I knows what to be doin.' Just like the media created the perfect storm by not vetting this community organizer, the pendulum will allow 'any of the above' to beat socialism.

I have had 2 comments deleted so far. I AM NOT A BIGOT! I lived in Salt Lake for awhile, and have worked for Mormons for over 20 years. I am only telling the truth! I will NOT vote for a Mormon......PC is stopping me from telling the truth.
unowhoitsme
A wife in every state...fair representation!
Why is this even an an issue? There are many politicians who pratice many different religions; so what! Isn't this America where we can worship how we choose? Shouldn't we be looking deeper into issues like creating jobs and growing the economy? Will Obama be a better President in the next round? Is this the "Change we need"? Look at Obama's track record; he's perpetuated our economic downfall. Can you honestly say that he will make things better?
Wow.. Obama is to blame for our economic down fall... ? Let me tell you first, you are a damned liar !
Does Mormon include HAROLD CAMPING?!!?
NO we want our preident to be a Follower Of Jesus Christ, The Most High God, who is Almighty God in the Flesh, Eternal, and Equal to the Father and Spirit. Just like the good all days of America when almost all the preidents were Christians.
I think the big question is: Would we care about the Mormon issue if CNN didn't post story about it being an issue? CNN loves stirring up its own news.
Your kidding right? Being a Mormon is a serious issue. It shows lack of rational thought and brainwashing. You really want a president who thinks his god is resting on another planet?
Hey ANut...I mean NotaNut...that's Scientology. Everyone has their idea of where God is. So, you would rather believe that God sent his son to Earth from another plane of existence called "Heaven", a son who can walk on water, then die, then be resurrected from the dead? That's alright, too. It's all fantastic without any proof. The point being: CNN sometimes posts ridiculous stories, and this is one of them...It's sad you don't recognize that. Oh, if your (oops..."you are") going to have a user name like NotaNut, make sure you don't prove otherwise.

Why shouldn't religion be an issue? Very few things sum what a person thinks and believes like membership in a faith group/religion. As soon as someone says "I'm a Mormon", we instantly know what he/she believes and strives to be. Furthermore, being a member of a religion which actively proselytizes tells me (the voter) that the candidate thinks I need to be more like him/her. Is talking about religion bigotry? Is it ignorant? I don't think so. I don't believe the things that Huntsman and Romney believe. What are they first – our president or a saint? Mormonism demands religious zealotry as long as disfellowshipping is still practiced. The LDS church is a controlled community and the LDS church holds this above it's member's heads. If faced with a difficult decision, will Romney or Huntsman risk losing their community? This is the reason that it's not bigoted or ignorant to talk about religion – because it's telling of who a person is, who they want to be and what they believe to be true.

I am an ex mormon. DO NOT VOTE FOR A MORMON. Mormons like Romney are Mormons first and Americans second. And as nice as the missionaries' cherubic faces are, they are the biggest bunch of racists and religious bigots around. Just ask one what Joseph Smith said about ALL other Christian churches, and what it says in their canonized scriptures... And look into what Brigham Young, the former mouthpiece of God said about blacks and slaves....
HeyMikeyyy
At least that's better than the current fiscal idiot who has America somewhere outta his top 10 priorities...

As a non-believer of organized religion of any kind, I do not like to Judge Mr. Romney as his faith based affiliation. Unlike the good old days, I think majority of American voters don't care that much about his religious background. The voters care about who he is and what is his vision and quality to lead America as a great nation of the world at a time of the post 9/11 era. From his track record as the Gov. of Massachusetts, what I have noticed that he was a failed governor in the state and he couldn't get along with his colleagues to work as a team leader. So he quit without bidding for his reelection. He has proved himself as one of the biggest phony-baloney politicians and failed Governor of Massachusetts. He is one of those good Old Boys Network members, who only cares about making more money and gain power. He is the worshipper of the wealthy class (not LDS Church) and a blood sucking rich by charging high interest rates on borrowers. That is how he has made billions from his venture capital firm Bane Capital. Given his background of charging high interest rates from start up entrepreneurs, how do average Americans can trust him as a leader for the middle class? It does not take a rocket science to recognize the two faces of this opportunist Romney, who care nothing more than himself. So he is not the right person to choose for American president.
James Olson
No, America is not "ready" for a Mormon president. Nor will we ever be, because that certainly wouldn't be a sign of progress. I'm a dem, and I wouldn't vote for a Mormon even if he or she was a dem. I also wouldn't vote for a fundamental Christian, or anyone else who interprets the Bible or any other religious book literally.
How about president that won't ignore science to meet his spirtual beliefs.
OUTrunFIELD
No.way.NO WAY. NO. Way.
UTdoc
How are the tenets of Mormonism any more ridiculous than those of Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims or any other mythology? Since we won't elect an atheist POTUS anytime soon, we shouldn't care about the president's religion (or lack thereof).
When I vote, I want to know what the person I'm voting for believes. Campaign promises are crap – they're only made so we the voters can distinguish between two probably center-right or center-left individuals. Religion matters because it IS what a person believes. It's real, not a focus group-tested campaign promise. It's what Huntsman and Romney did in their lives before the presidency was considered. If you want a succinct and honest glimpse into a person, look at their religion. Even people who pick an choose from the menu, their religion is at least what they think about, a thing with which they are content to be identified. Why shouldn't religion matter? It's the one thing that I know Huntsman and Romney actually believe.
True, but Joseph Smith and his followers are EXTRA crazy.
I find it really interesting that the Evangelicals get to define "Christians". Seems by definition it means someone who believes In Jesus Christ as the Son of God, believes in what he taught and that we should follwo him and ithat he is saved through the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That isn't good enought for some Evangelicals. Based upon their interpretation of doctrine and their interpretation of the BIble, someone with different interpretations is not a "Christian". Following that same logic....none of the christian sects would believe the other is "Christian"
pretty much true
that's pretty much true. good that we separated church and state. we can't prove that one is better than the other anyway.
Mormonism started in the 1800s and there's plenty of records about its beginnings. Joseph Smith was a charlatan and a fraud. Anyone who can't figure that out lacks the critical thinking skills to be President, sorry. It's not an anti-religion thing, it's an anti-idiot thing.
couldn't have said it better!
For information on the Mormon beliefs there is a great web site that explains their weird beliefs in simple lanbguage. Simply go to mrm.org

On October 24, 2018, President Trump signed The Support for Patients and Communities Act or H.R.6. into law. This podcast is the second part of our series on this historic piece of legislation.
H.R.6 includes support for three successful programs we have featured on earlier podcasts in our series. On today's show, we'll revisit our ALTO, Lily's Place and AnchorED programs to highlight how each of these successful programs got started and how they are making a difference in the opioid epidemic.
On today's podcast, you'll hear how H.R.6 promotes the ALTO program, that's alternatives to opioids, a program developed at St. Joseph Healthcare in Patterson New Jersey. 75% of patients at St. Joseph Healthcare have said their pain has been managed effectively without the use of opioids. Listen to excerpts from that episode on today's podcast or go to the original podcast on ALTO with Dr. Rosenberg from December 2016 to hear more.
We will also revisit our show on neonatal abstinence syndrome and Lily's Place , an organization dedicated to treating babies that are born with NAS by providing medical care for these newborns suffering from NAS and instruction on their specialized care requirements for mothers . You can also hear more information from the original Lily's Place podcast from December 2017.
Also featured in this episode is a program called AnchorED which connects overdose victims in the ED to certified recovery coaches. These coaches provide encouragement and connect patients to the help they need for their recovery. Tune into today's episode to hear excerpts from our AnchorED episode or listen to our entire AnchorED program from April 2017.
Dr. Mark Rosenberg, DO, MBA, FACEP, is Chair of Emergency Medicine at St Joseph's Healthcare System in Paterson, New Jersey, overseeing the care of more than 165,000 adult and child visits annually. He is board certified in Emergency Medicine as well as Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Dr. Rosenberg also serves as Medical Director of Population Health at St. Josephs.
Currently, Dr. Rosenberg is past Chairman of the Geriatric Emergency Medicine Section of the American College of Emergency Medicine (ACEP); Chairman and Founder of the Palliative Medicine Section of ACEP; Board Member for ACEP; and a Board of Director and Past President of NJ Chapter ACEP.
Dr. Rosenberg is principle author of the Geriatric Emergency Department Guidelines. He has served as a consultant to NQF regarding Palliative medicine and worked with the American Geriatric Society to promote the Emergency Department as the hub of Geriatric Care. He has written many articles and chapters on Emergency Department Inovations and has lectured internationally. He has developed the acclaimed program called LSMA, Life Sustaining Management and Alternatives.
Rebecca Crowder is the Executive Director of Lily's Place. She has 8 years of experience in recovery administration and is responsible for overseeing the programs and strategic plan of Lily's Place. Rebecca works with the Board of Directors and leads staff in order to fulfill the organization's mission. She is also the primary contact for all inquiries concerning replication plans. Rebecca was instrumental in the opening of Recovery Point WV, a program that offers recovery services to those suffering from substance use disorder at no cost. With her extensive involvement in recovery administration, Rebecca has experience working with state and federal level grants.
The mission of Lily's Place is to care for babies prenatally exposed to drugs while also providing non-judgmental support, training, education, and resources to families. With increased funding and strategic partnerships, there is an opportunity to expand services for both mother and baby. Lily's Place believes in a holistic approach to wellness; therefore, they provide for infants going through withdrawal while also caring for mothers dealing with the environmental issues of having a NAS baby. In order for babies to have a prosperous life, their mothers need direct care and attention as well.
Lily's Place has received national and international attention as other entities are looking to replicate their model of care. The conversation surrounding NAS is becoming increasingly more widespread and the services provided at Lily's Place are tailored directly to combat this epidemic.

Kearney, Buffalo County property values to be reassessed in 2023
featured top story
Brandon Summers
Dec 28, 2022 Updated Jan 4, 2023
County Assessor Roy Meusch detailed his plans to Buffalo County Commissioners at their Tuesday meeting for a full reassessment of Kearney and Buffalo County property values in 2023.
BRANDON SUMMERS, KEARNEY HUB
Some upgrades increase your home's value without having to spend too much money or needing a full renovation. PennyGem's Johana Restrepo has more.
Buffalo County and Kearney County property values are going to be reassessed in 2023.
Assessor Roy Meusch detailed his plans to the Buffalo County Commissioners at their Tuesday meeting.
The changes begin in February, Meusch told the Hub.
"February 1st we're going to be sending out preliminary values for the properties, and the Kearney area, and all 10 communities. There within the city limits or jurisdictions of those properties, values are going to look different because we did a reassessment or reappraisal for all of those properties, which is about 12,000 homes," he said.
Values will look different this year.
"Their value last year will not play into the new valuation," said Meusch. "The new valuation is a new formula, new charts and all new information being applied to those."
He added, "Hopefully, their value will reflect market value of their property, as of January 1st."
A challenge has been "not having accurate values," Meusch told commissioners.
"That comes from values not making sense," he said. "People told us time and time again during protests 'This doesn't make any sense. Why is my value what it is?' The ability to say, 'This is why I believe it should be that value,' we have a hard time doing that."
Accurate values for lots held by developers will be tackled, as well.
"That's real easy to take care of, and we want to deal with that right off the bat and eliminate the need for protests for those," said Meusch.
The current market is "crazy" and has added to these challenges, said Meusch.
Homes appreciated in value in Buffalo County at 3% per year, meaning a home purchased for $100,000 would go up to about $103,000 in a year's time, explained Meusch.
This changed over the last two years.
"The value is appreciating at about 12% per year," he said.
Because of these factors, Kearney and Buffalo County are going to be reassessed in 2023.
"I'm going to throw out their old values and trade in new values for each residential parcel in those communities," said Meusch. "That's about 9,500 in Kearney and about 2,500 outside of Kearney in those small communities."
He added, "Values will look different for next year, good and bad."
The new model will allow the county to get away from the "highs and lows" seen before, and get rid of "the yo-yo effect."
"In the past our values were so low and some of them so high, our people would come to you guys and say, 'Why in the world is my value this and my neighbor getting this?'" said Meusch. "We have to bring these together, otherwise we're not going to have statistics for the state that makes them happy and have taxpayer values that I can defend."
In 2024, rural subdivisions and rural areas will be reassessed.
"That's going to be a little more complex," said Meusch. "I couldn't handle everything in one year, so I'm doing it in parts and pieces."
In 2025, Meusch will tackle "miscellaneous improvements," such as walk-out basements and decks, and rural commercial.
Poor communication with the public has also been a challenge for the office, said Meusch, and starting in January he plans to present these changes directly to the community.
"My door will be open to the public. I can't say that enough," he said.
Commissioner Bill Maendele encouraged the community to engage the assessor's office.
"The public needs to know that if they disagree with their valuation to reach out to you and your office, and they have to be able to let you come assess it if they're saying it's not what we have on the books," he said.
Commissioner Sherry Morrow applauded the efforts.
"I think people a lot of times just want to be heard. They understand if you explain it to them, but they just want somebody to listen," she said.
The changes will require "a lot of work," said Meusch, but the effort will be worthwhile.
"When we put values on peoples' property, I take that seriously," he told the Hub. "My big long-term goal is to build communication and trust back with the public and try to get values that are fair and equitable, and make sense to the property owner."

\section{Introduction}
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $G'$ denotes its derived subgroup. The concept of Schur multiplier $M(G)$ of a group $G$ was introduced by Schur \cite{IS1} in 1904 while studying of projective representation of groups. In 1956, Green \cite{JG} proved that $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)}$ for $p$-groups $G$ of order $p^n$. So $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)-t(G)}$, for some $t(G) \geq 0$.
It is of interest to characterize the structure of all non-abelian $p$-groups $G$ by the order of the Schur multiplier $M(G)$, i.e., when $t(G)$ is known. This problem was studied by several authors for various values of $t(G)$ and the results are known for $0 \leq t(G) \leq 6$ in \cite{BY,ZH,EG,PN3,PN1, SIX}.

Later Niroomand \cite{PN} improved the Green's bound and showed that for non abelian $p$-groups $G$ of order $p^n$ with $|G'|=p^k$,

\centerline{$|M(G)|\leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$.}
He also classified groups $G$ such that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$ with $k=1$. For our convention instead of writing $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$ we shall write $|M(G)|$ attains the bound, throughout this paper.

Recently Rai \cite[Theorem 2.1]{PK} classified finite $p$-groups $G$ of class $2$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.

Aim of this paper is to continue this line of investigation and to look into the classification of arbitrary finite $p$-groups attending this bound. It, surprisingly turns out that for $p \neq 3$ there is no finite $p$-group $G$ of nilpotency class $c \geq 3$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound. Hence for $p$-groups $G$ of class $\geq 3$ and $p \neq 3$ we improve the bound and in this case $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)}$ where $|G'|=p^k$.
Now one can ask what will happen for $p=3$? Is this above statement true for $p=3$?\\
The answer to this question is no. We construct an example, see Lemma \ref{C2}, which gives the answer of this question. Now we state our main result which is the following.
\begin{thm}\label{C1}
There is no non-abelian $p$-group $G$ of order $p^n$, $p\neq3$, having nilpotency class $c \geq 3$ with $|G'|=p^k$ and $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$. In particular, $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)}$ for $p$-groups $G$ of nilpotency class $c \geq 3$ and $p \neq 3$.
\end{thm}

\noindent So the natural question arises here which is the following:\\
{\bf Question:} Does there exist finite $p$-groups of arbitrary nilpotency class for which this new bound is attained?\\
The answer of this question is yes for nilpotency class $3$ and $4$, see Section 3, Example1 and Example2.
We conclude this section by defining some notations. We say a group $G$ of order $p^n$ is of maximal class if the nilpotency class of $G$ is $n-1$.
By $ES_p(p^3)$ we denote the extra-special $p$-group of order $p^3$ having exponent $p$. By $\mathbb{Z}_p^{(k)}$ we denote $\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}_p$($k$ times). $\gamma_i(G)$ denotes the $i$-th term of the lower central series of group $G$ and $G^{ab}$ denotes the quotient group $G/\gamma_2(G)$.
\section{Preliminaries}
In this section we recall some results which will be used to prove our main result.
\begin{thm}$($\cite[Theorem 4.1]{MRRR}$)$\label{J}
Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a central subgroup of $G$. Set $A = G/K$. Then
$|M(G)||G'\cap K|$ divides $|M(A)| |M(K)| |A^{ab} \otimes K|$.
\end{thm}
\begin{thm}$($\cite[Main Theorem]{PN}$)$\label{N}
Let $G$ be a non-abelian finite $p$-group of order $p^n$. If $|G'|=p^k$, then we have \\
\centerline{$|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$.}
In particular, \\
\centerline{$|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n-1)(n-2)+1}$,}
and the equality holds in this last bound if and only if $G = H \times Z$, where $H$ is an extra special $p$-group of order $p^3$ and exponent $p$, and $Z$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group.
\end{thm}
The following result gives the classification of $p$-groups $G$ of class $2$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.
\begin{thm}$($\cite[Theorem 1.1]{PK}$)$\label{Q}
Let $G$ be a finite p-group of order $p^n$ and nilpotency class $2$ with $|G'| = p^k$. Then $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$ if and only if $G$ is one of
the following groups.

$(i)$ $G_1=ES_p(p^3) \times \mathbb{Z}_p^{(n-3)}$, for an odd prime $p$.

$(ii)$ $G_2= \langle{\alpha,\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\beta_1,\beta_2 \mid [\alpha_i,\alpha]=\beta_i, \alpha^p=\alpha_i^p=\beta_i^p=1 (i=1,2)\rangle}$, for an odd prime $p$.

$(iii)$ $G_3=\langle \alpha_1,\beta_1,\alpha_2,\beta_2,\alpha_3, \beta_3 \mid [\alpha_1,\alpha_2]=\beta_3, [\alpha_2,\alpha_3]=\beta_1,$ $[\alpha_3,\alpha_1]=\beta_2,\alpha_i^{(p)}=\beta_i^p=1(i=1,2,3)\rangle$, for an odd prime $p$.
\end{thm}
The following result is a consequence of \cite[Main Theorem]{SX}.
\begin{thm}\label{S}
There is no group $G$ of order $p^n$ and of class $c\geq 3$ such that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)-(n+1)}$ where $n \geq 6$, $p$ is odd.
\end{thm}
The following result immediately follows from \cite[Theorem 21]{PN2}.
\begin{thm}\label{P}
There is no group $G$ of order $p^n$ and of class $c\geq 3$ such that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)-(n-1)}$.
\end{thm}
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of nilpotency class $3$ with centre $Z(G)$. Set $\bar{G}=G/Z(G)$.
Define a homomorphism $\psi_2 :\bar{G}^{ab} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab}  \rightarrow \frac{\gamma_2(G)}{\gamma_3(G)} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab}$ such that \\
$\psi_2(\bar{x}_1 \otimes \bar{x}_2 \otimes \bar{x}_3)=[x_1,x_2]_{\gamma} \otimes \bar{x}_3 + [x_2,x_3]_{\gamma} \otimes \bar{x}_1 + [x_3,x_1]_{\gamma} \otimes \bar{x}_2$, where  $\bar{x}$ denotes the image in $\bar{G}$ of the element $x \in G$ and $[x,y]_{\gamma}$ denotes the image in $\frac{\gamma_2(G)}{\gamma_3(G)}$ of the commutator $[x,y] \in G$. Define another homomorphism $\psi_3 : \bar{G}^{ab} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab} \rightarrow \gamma_3(G) \otimes \bar{G}^{ab}$ such that\\
$\psi_3(\bar{x}_1 \otimes \bar{x}_2 \otimes \bar{x}_3 \otimes \bar{x}_4)=[[x_1,x_2],x_3] \otimes \bar{x}_4 + [x_4,[x_1,x_2]] \otimes \bar{x}_3 + [[x_3,x_4],x_1]\otimes \bar{x}_2$ $ +[x_2,[x_3,x_4]] \otimes \bar{x}_1.$
\begin{thm}$($\cite[Proposition 1]{EW} and \cite{E}$)$\label{RM}
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of nilpotency class $3$. With the notations above, we have \\
\centerline{$|M(G)||\gamma_2 (G)||Image(\psi_2)||Image(\psi_3)| \leq |M(G^{ab})||\frac{\gamma_2(G)}{\gamma_3(G)} \otimes \bar{G}^{ab}||\gamma_3(G) \otimes \bar{G}^{ab}|$.}
\end{thm}
\section{Proof of Main Theorem}
In this section we prove our main theorem. Before going to the proof of main theorem, we need some reults. We use Theorem \ref{N} and Theorem \ref{J} in the proof of the following lemma without further reference.
\begin{lemma}\label{R}
Let $G$ be a non-abelian $p$-group of order $p^n$ with $|G'|=p^k$ and $|M(G)|$ attains the bound. Then the following hold:

$(i)$ $G^{ab}$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group.

$(ii)$ $Z(G)$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group.

$(iii)$ $Z(G) \subseteq G'$ $($except $G \cong ES_p(p^3) \times \mathbb{Z}_p^{(n-3)})$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
$(i)$ Let $K$ be a central subgroup of order $p$ such that $K \subseteq G'$. Now $|G/K|=p^{n-1}$ and $|(G/K)'|=p^{k-1}$. Now we get\\
\centerline{ $|M(G/K)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n-1+k-1-2)(n-1-k+1-1)+1}=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-4)(n-k-1)+1}$.}
Hence the inequality $|M(G)|p \leq |M(G/K)||G^{ab}|$ gives \\
\centerline{$|M(G)|\leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-4)(n-k-1)+1} p^{(n-k-1)}=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$.}
It follows that $|M(G/K)|$ attains the bound and $G/G'$ is elementary abelian $p$-group.

$(ii)$ Suppose the exponent of $Z(G) > p$. Consider a cyclic central subgroup $K$ of order $p^2$. Either $K \subset G'$, $K \cap G'=1$ or $K \cap G'=\mathbb{Z}_p$.

For the first case $|G/K|=p^{n-2}$ and $|(G/K)'|=p^{k-2}$. Hence\\
\centerline{ $|M(G/K)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n-2+k-2-2)(n-2-k+2-1)+1}=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-6)(n-k-1)+1}$.}
Therefore from $|M(G)|p^2 \leq |M(G/K)||G^{ab}|$ we have\\
\centerline{$|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-4)(n-k-1)+1} p^{(n-k-2)}=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1-(n-k)}$,}
which is a contradiction.
Other cases follows similarly.

$(iii)$  Suppose $Z(G) \nsubseteq G'$, consider a central subgroup $K$ of order $p$ such that $K \cap G'=1$. Since $|G/K|=p^{n-1}$ and $|(G/K)'|=p^k$. So \\
\centerline{$|M(G/K)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-3)(n-k-2)+1}$. }
Hence we have\\
\centerline{$|M(G)| \leq |M(G/K)||G/G'K| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-3)(n-k-2)+1} p^{(n-k-1)}$}
\centerline{\hspace{4 cm}$= p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1-(k-1)}$,}
 which is a contradiction for $k>1$. For $k=1$, $|M(G)|$ attains the bound if and only if $G \cong ES_p(p^3) \times \mathbb{Z}_p^{(n-3)}$. \hfill$\Box$

\end{proof}
The following lemma follows from the proof of Lemma \ref{R}$(i)$ using Lemma 3.1$(ii)$.
\begin{lemma}\label{K}
If $G$ is a $p$-group of order $p^n$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound, then for every central subgroup $K$ of order $p$, $|M(G/K)|$ also attains the bound.
\end{lemma}
\begin{lemma}\label{M}
There is no group $G$ of order $p^n$ $(n \geq 4)$ having maximal class such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
First we prove that $|M(G)| \leq p^{n-2}$ for $p$-groups $G$ of maximal class. We use induction argument on $n$ to prove this.

Let $n=4$. Then for $p=2$ using HAP\cite{HAP} of GAP\cite{GAP} and for odd $p$ by \cite[page. 4177]{EG} it follows that $|M(G)| \leq p^2=p^{n-2}$.

Now consider group $G$ of order $p^n$ $(n >4)$ of maximal class. Note that $G/Z(G)$ is also of maximal class. So by induction hypothesis $|M(G/Z(G))| \leq p^{n-3}$. Hence it follows from \cite[Proposition 2.4]{MRR} that \\
\centerline{$|M(G)|p \leq |M(G/Z(G))||G^{ab}| \leq p^{n-1}$.}
Hence $|M(G)| \leq p^{n-2}$. Now if $|M(G)|$ attains the bound for $p$-groups $G$ of maximal class then
$|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+n-2-2)(n-n+2-1)+1}=p^{n-1}$, which is a contradiction. \hfill$\Box$

\end{proof}
In view of Lemma \ref{K} we observe that it is sufficient to consider groups $G/K$ such that $|M(G/K)|$ attains the bound for every central subgroup $K$ of order $p$. This observation is going to be key ingredient in the proof.
The following lemma refutes the existence of finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $G/K$ is of nilpotency class $2$ and $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.
\begin{lemma}\label{C2}
There is no non-abelian $p$-group $G$ of order $p^n$, $p\neq 3$ such that $G/K$ is of nilpotency class $2$ for some central subgroup $K$ of order $p$ and $|M(G)|$ attains the bound. For $p=3$, there is a group $G$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Suppose that $G$ is a group of order $p^n$ and $|G'|=p^k$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.
Let $G/K$ is of class $2$ for a central subgroup $K$ of order $p$. By Lemma \ref{K} $|M(G/K)|$ also attains the bound. Hence by Theorem \ref{Q} we have $G/K \cong G_1, G_2$ or $G_3$. Now we consider the cases depending on the structure of $G/K$.

If $G/K \cong G_1=ES_p(p^3) \times \mathbb{Z}_p^{(n-3)}$, then $k=2$ and $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$ $=p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)-(n-1)}$, which contradicts Theorem \ref{P}.
If $G/K \cong G_2$ then $k=3$ and $|M(G)|=p^8=p^{\frac{1}{2}6(6-1)-(6+1)}$, which contradicts Theorem \ref{S}.

If $G/K \cong G_3=\langle \alpha_1,\beta_1,\alpha_2,\beta_2,\alpha_3, \beta_3 \mid [\alpha_1,\alpha_2]=\beta_3, [\alpha_2,\alpha_3]=\beta_1, [\alpha_3,\alpha_1]=\beta_2,\alpha_i^{(p)}=\beta_i^p=1(i=1,2,3)\rangle$, then $k=4$ and $|M(G)|=$ $p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)+1}$ $=p^{10}$. We want to show that $|Image(\psi_3)| \geq p$ for $p\neq 3$. Then from Theorem \ref{RM} we have $|M(G)| \leq p^9$, which is a contradiction.

Suppose $[\beta_i,\alpha_j]$ is non-trivial in $\gamma_3(G)$ for some $j \in \{1,2,3\}$. Without loss of generality assume that $i=1$. Now if  $j=2$ or $3$, then $\psi_3(\alpha_2 \otimes \alpha_3 \otimes \alpha_j \otimes \alpha_1)$ is non-trivial element. Then $|Image(\psi_3)| \geq p$. Similarly we can show for $i=2,3$.

Hence we consider the case $[\beta_i, \alpha_i] \in \gamma_3(G)$ is non-trivial and $[\beta_i,\alpha_j]=1$ for $i,j \in \{1,2,3\}, i \neq j$.
Now let $|Z(G)| > p$.
Without loss of generality assume that $\beta_2=[\alpha_3,\alpha_1] \in Z(G)$ and there is a non-trivial element $[\beta_1, \alpha_1] \in \gamma_3(G)$. Then  $\psi_3(\alpha_2 \otimes \alpha_3 \otimes \alpha_1 \otimes \alpha_3)$ is non-trivial element. So $|Image(\psi_3)| >p$.
Next case remains $Z(G)=\langle \gamma \rangle \cong \mathbb{Z}_p$. Suppose $Image(\psi_3)=\{1\}$. Then $\psi_3(\alpha_1 \otimes  \alpha_2 \otimes \alpha_3 \otimes \alpha_1)=\psi_3(\alpha_3 \otimes  \alpha_1 \otimes \alpha_2 \otimes \alpha_3)=1$ forces to have $[\beta_3,\alpha_3]=[\beta_2,\alpha_2]=[\beta_1,\alpha_1]$ and by Hall-Witt identity we have $p=3$.

Using these relations we construct a group $G=\langle \alpha_1,\beta_1,\alpha_2,\beta_2,\alpha_3, \beta_3,\gamma \mid [\alpha_1,\alpha_2]=\beta_3, [\alpha_2,\alpha_3]=\beta_1, [\alpha_3,\alpha_1]=\beta_2, [\beta_3,\alpha_3]=[\beta_2,\alpha_2]=[\beta_1,\alpha_1]=\gamma,
\alpha_i^3=\beta_i^3=\gamma^3=1(i=1,2,3)\rangle$ which is of order $3^7$. Using HAP \cite{HAP} of GAP \cite{GAP} we see that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)}+1=p^{10}$.

\hfill$\Box$

\end{proof}
\noindent We are now ready to prove our main result.\\
{\bf Proof of Theorem \ref{C1}.}
First we prove that there is no group $G$ of order $p^n$, $p \neq 3$ of class $c=3$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound. For a central subgroup $K$ of order $p$ in $G$, $G/K$ is of class $2$ or $3$. If $G/K$ is of class $2$, then the result follows from Lemma \ref{C2}.
Now if $G/K$ is of nilpotency class $3$ for every central subgroup $K$ of order $p$, then we use induction on $n$ to prove that there is no such $G$ such that $|M(G)|$ attains the bound.
For $n=5$, $G/K$ is of maximal class, so our result is true for $n=5$, follows from Lemma \ref{M} and Lemma \ref{K}.
Now let $G$ be a group of class $3$ and $n > 5$.
If there is a central subgroup of $G/K$  of order $p$ such that the factor group is of class $2$, then the result follows from Lemma \ref{C2} and Lemma \ref{K}.
Hence consider that for every central subgroup of $G/K$  of order $p$, the factor group of $G/K$ is of class $3$ again. Since $|G/K|=p^{n-1}$, by induction hypothesis on $n$ there is no such $G/K$ such that $|M(G/K)|$ attains the bound. Hence by Lemma \ref{K}, result follows for class $c=3$.

We proved our result for $c=3$. Now we use induction argument to complete the proof for $c > 3$. Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and of class $c>3$.
If nilpotency class of $G/K$ is smaller than $c$, then by induction hypothesis on $c$, there is no $G/K$ such that $|M(G/K)|$ attain the bound. Hence result follows by Lemma \ref{K}.
Now if nilpotency class of $G/K$ is $c$ for every central subgroup $K$ of order $p$, then we use induction on $n$ to prove our result.
For $n=c+2$, $G/K$ is of maximal class. So our result is true for $n=c+2$, by Lemma \ref{M} and Lemma \ref{K}.
Let $|G|=p^n$ of class $c$ with $n > c+2$. If there is a central subgroup of $G/K$ of order $p$ such that the factor group is of class smaller than $c$ then the result follows by induction on $c$ and by Lemma \ref{K}.
So now for every central subgroup of $G/K$  of order $p$, the factor group of $G/K$ is of class $c$ again. As $|G/K|=p^{n-1}$, by induction hypothesis on $n$ there is no such $G/K$ such that $|M(G/K)|$ attains the bound. Hence our result follows by Lemma \ref{K}.
This completes the proof.
\hfill$\Box$
\\
\\
We conclude our paper by providing some examples of groups $G$ of order $p^n$, such that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(n+k-2)(n-k-1)}$ where $|G'|=p^k$.\\
{\bf Example1:} Consider the group $G=\langle \alpha,\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3,\alpha_4\mid [\alpha,\alpha_1]=\alpha_2,[\alpha_2,\alpha]=\alpha_3,[\alpha_2,\alpha_1]=\alpha_4,\alpha^p=\alpha_i^p=1 (i=1,2,3,4) \rangle$ from \cite{RJ}. This is group of order $p^5$ with $|G'|=p^3$. Nilpotency class of $G$ is $3$. For $p=5,7,11,13,17$ using HAP \cite{HAP} of GAP \cite{GAP} we obtain $M(G)\cong\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p$. Note that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(5+3-2)(5-3-1)}=p^3$.
\\
{\bf Example2:} Consider the group
$G=\langle \alpha,\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3,\alpha_4 \mid [\alpha_i,\alpha]=\alpha_{i+1},\alpha^p=\alpha_1^{(p)}=\alpha_{i+1}^{(p)}=1 (i=1,2,3)\rangle$ from \cite{RJ} and $\alpha_{i+1}^{\left(p\right)} = \alpha_{i+1}^p \alpha_{i+2}^{p \choose 2} \cdots\alpha_{i+k}^{p \choose k}... \alpha_{i+p}$. This is group of order $p^5$ with $|G'|=p^3$. Nilpotency class of $G$ is $4$. For $p=5,7,11,13,17$ using HAP \cite{HAP} of GAP \cite{GAP} we obtain $M(G)\cong\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p$. Note that $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{1}{2}(5+3-2)(5-3-1)}=p^3$.

Bullying on the playground or in the classroom can be seen. Cyberbullying—bullying online through social media, apps, and other online activities—is a lot harder for teachers or parents to spot. A 2013 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report indicated that 15% of high school students had experienced cyberbullying in the past year.
Most of the time, teachers and families only find out about cyberbullying after a physical altercation at school or some other social function. Since parents and other adults in children's lives don't have experience from their own childhood to draw on when dealing with cyberbullying and likely aren't even aware of the latest app, much less its potential for harm, it is important to learn the warning signs of cyberbullying.
Illinois PTA has shared how to handle cyberbullying previously, which included additional resources: National PTA's Connect for Respect program, stopbullying.gov cyberbullying resources, and other materials from the Cyberbullying Research Center in addition to their warning signs sheet. All of these resources can help you be informed and deal with a cyberbullying problem with your child.

Co-parenting apps you need to know about
Co-parenting apps you need to…
If you're recently divorced and find yourself trying to navigate the co-parenting waters with your former spouse, it can be difficult to know if you're doing it right. Even people who claim to be on the same page still struggle to manage schedules, improve their decision-making, track expenses, improve their organization skills, and just be better parents.
The good news is that you're not alone. Also, there's an app for that.
The key to a positive co-parenting relationship is to be positive in both your thoughts and actions. Below is a list of common co-parenting apps designed to help you and your former spouse be a better team.
Our Family Wizard
Of all the co-parenting apps on the market today, Our Family Wizard appears to be the most recommended on a variety of parenting websites. Just a few of its tools include a parenting calendar to share important appointments and easily submit requests for changes in parenting times. There is also a message board that can never be edited or deleted, a virtual diary and family album, expense logs, and an info bank to keep important family information in one place. Our Family Wizard is not a free app, but check out its fee waiver program and military family discount on its website.
AppClose
AppClose has no subscription fees or monthly service charges, making it an easy choice for divorced parents who want all the conveniences of a co-parenting app while keeping their expenses at a minimum. The app has many of the same tools as Our Family Wizard but also has a feature where you can request reimbursement for medical expenses and extracurricular activities. The app also allows you to coordinate with non-connected parties such as stepparents, grandparents, other caregivers, and third-party professionals.
coParenter
coParenter has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, on Bravo, and by other entities for its one-of-a-kind system that gives parents live, on-demand access to coaching and mediation services directly through the app. There's a cost for this app, but coParenter's mediators are reported to be retired family law judges and court professionals — all of whom are determined to help you navigate the co-parenting waters. coParenter costs $12.99 per month or $119 per year and comes with a 30-day trial.
coparently
Besides trying to be the best parent you can be post-divorce, the goal is to reduce conflict and miscommunication with your former spouse. coparently has a color-coded custody calendar, a secure messaging center, and free guest access. coparently is $9.99 per month or $99 per year (per parent).
The good news is that there are plenty more co-parenting apps on the market. The trick is sitting down to explore all of them and see which offers the right features and services that matter to you.
A few more apps to be aware of include:

The material posted on this web site is not intended to create a lawyer-client relationship, and readers should not act upon it without seeking professional counsel.


This website took a very long time in the making and its existence in its present form is the result of the kindness, love, and talent of many people. We couldn't have managed without them.
It is a particular joy to us that all the people involved in constructing the site hold strong and deep spiritual beliefs and we believe this is reflected in the energy and life of the site. We give thanks and praise for every one of them.
All of us worked such long hours for so many months to create the website, and like all good things, it just kept growing. No sooner did we have one aspect of it under control than another idea occurred to make it even better. The wonderful souls helping us coped with this and supported our rather ambitious plans without too much groaning. The learning curve was very steep for all involved!
We would like to offer our most sincere and loving thanks to Jacinda Jackson (Jaci), for the inspiring graphics on the web pages and for their design and layout. She uncomplainingly gave of her valuable time and instruction, often working from early morning until late at night. With great skill, dedication and patience, she wielded pieces taken from our nature spirit and angel illustrations, adding to them and forming them into pleasing and professional images. She coped with grace even though all the work on this was done at our home and under our eagle eyes. Her constant bubbling laughter whilst working at the computer brightened our days.
Our thanks also to Simon, Jaci's partner, who uncomplainingly allowed us to monopolise her weekend time and supported her and us all the way.
We are also indebted to Gaz, a most kind, gracious and generous friend of many lives, who performed extraordinary feats of coding and rose to every challenge with willingness and unconditional love and loyalty. The website was made possible by his ideals, dedication and sense of service. The amount of time he put into the project is staggering. He believed firmly that if something was needed he would find the way.
We are very grateful to Bronnie, Gaz's partner, who very generously allowed us so much of his time and attention and who kept a loving and caring eye on him when his own eyes became square from staring at the computer screen. Bronnie also ably assisted Gaz with aspects of the website and was enthusiastic, as always, and supportive of the whole project.
Our deepest thanks to Jennifer, who generously wrote the MindSoulSpirit Introduction and made us sound embarrassingly good. Jennifer is a long-time friend and student and we are indebted to her for her kindness and willingness to contribute.
The music for the website, 'Tranquillity', was composed by Kim Beckman, who addressed the task with his usual ease and willingness to help. He wrote the piece intuitively, with minimal intervention from us and managed to achieve exactly what we asked for. Kim also assisted with the sound files for the Metaphysical Sounds pages, working closely with us to achieve results that are as close to those we perceive as possible.
We are indebted to our friend, Patricia Howell, an exceptional watercolour artist for her sincere effort and talent in painting some of our early nature spirit prototypes. Her selfless and dedicated contribution played a pivotal roll in paving the way for the artwork we produce today.
The recording studio involved was Si-Fonics and we are very grateful to Peter Styles for his patience and recording expertise.
Our thanks also to Adam Chapman for recording 'Keynote of the Earth' for us and to Keith Foley-Chell for his extraordinary ability to manipulate and join music files. Keith also contributed quotes for the 'Seeds of Enlightenment' page.
We are also grateful to Brad Edlington, who provided us with a range of wonderful photographs for use as backgrounds for some of our nature spirit and angel illustrations. He undertook many a photographic trip on early, frosty mornings and late evenings; nothing was a problem.
John Godschalk (Johno) and Vince Dove were invaluable in keeping all three of our computers running, sometimes rescuing us at times that were most inconvenient to themselves. We don't know what we would have done without these two friends.
Johno, who approaches spirituality with reverence and dedication, also proof-read all the written material and lovingly constructed the glossary.
Quotes for the 'Seeds of Enlightenment' pages were also provided by Serena Scarlett, Jennifer, Annie Marshall, Kerry Jackson, Cuddles Godschalk, Johno Godschalk, Keith Foley-Chell and Yvonne Savage. They must have spent an enormous amount of time going back through years of notes to find them. Our deepest thanks to them!
Bill and Rachel White were consistently generous and helpful. They kindly fed us from time to time and ran errands when we were unable to do them ourselves. They are friends one can always depend on.
Many thanks to the gifted Chris James for allowing us to use a sound file of one of his wonderful overtones in our Metaphysical Sounds pages.
We also received many kind offers of help that we were unable to utilise, however their energy still supported us. The enthusiasm and love of our daughter, Dianna and our many friends and students have been overwhelming. We are humbly grateful to them all for being a part of our lives.

Taliban Breaks Off 'Fruitless' Talks With Afghan Government On Prisoner Exchange
April 07, 2020 05:48 GMT Updated April 07, 2020 16:01 GMT
Taliban prisoners are seen inside the Pul-e Charkhi jail in Kabul.
The Taliban has broken off talks with the Afghan government on a prisoner exchange, a main step in peace talks being brokered by the United States.
Suhail Shaheen, a spokesman for the Taliban's political office in Qatar, tweeted on April 7 that a technical team would not participate in "fruitless meetings."
Shaheen blamed the administration of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani for delaying the prisoner release "under one pretext or another."
Javid Faisal, a spokesman for the Afghan National Security Council in Kabul, called on the Taliban not to "sabotage the process by making excuses."
The two sides had been holding talks in Kabul since last week to try to finalize the prisoner swap originally set to happen by March 10.
Afghan government officials have said the Taliban was demanding the release of senior commanders involved in some of the most violent attacks in recent years.
The suspension of the talks could lead to an escalation of violence, which in turn could threaten the plan to withdraw U.S. troops under a pact signed by the United States and the Taliban in the Qatari capital, Doha, on February 29.
Ghani's adviser Waheed Omar said Kabul considers the release of the prisoners to be part of wider negotiations.
The government would not agree to release Taliban prisoners "until the Taliban take a step forward," Omar told reporters.
Afghan government officials have said the Taliban were demanding the release of senior commanders involved in some of the most violent attacks in recent years.
The Doha deal calls for the Afghan government to release 5,000 Taliban fighters as a confidence-building measure ahead of formal peace talks aimed at ending the 18-year conflict.
The Taliban has vowed to release some 1,000 Afghan government troops and civilian workers it is holding.
The U.S.-led international forces are to withdraw in exchange for Taliban security guarantees, but peace hinges on talks between the Afghan government and the militants.
On April 5, the Taliban claimed they had reduced their attacks compared with last year and warned that continued violations of the terms of the Doha deal by the United States and the Afghan government would create "an atmosphere of mistrust" that would "damage the agreements" and "increase the level of fighting."
A U.S. military spokesman rejected the militants' accusations as "baseless."
The peace talks have also been jeopardized by political infighting in Afghanistan, between Ghani and his opponent, Abdullah Abdullah.
Last week, after Ghani announced his 21-member team to negotiate peace with the Taliban, Abdullah rejected it as not inclusive enough.
In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the U.S. administration hoped that Ghani and Abdullah would work out their differences.
