(WTVO) — Mike Richards will step down as the new host of Jeopardy! after being announced as Alex Trebek’s replacement last week. His departure is due to sexist comments he made on his podcast in the past.
Richards, an executive producer for “Jeopardy!” “The Price Is Right” and “Let’s Make a Deal,” was accused of pregnancy discrimination in a 2010 lawsuit.
Over the course of the 41 episodes of “The Randum Show,” Richards frequently commented on women’s wardrobes and even one female employee’s weight. On the podcasts, he also asked a female assistant and a female cohost if they ever took nude photos, the Ringer reported. He referred to his cohost as a “booth ho.”
“It pains me that these past incidents and comments have cast such a shadow on Jeopardy! as we look to start a new chapter. As I mentioned last week, I was deeply honored to be asked to host the syndicated show and was thrilled by the opportunity to expand my role. However, over the last several days it has become clear that moving forward as host would be too much of a distraction for our fans and not the right move for the show,” Richardson wrote in a statement on Friday.
In a statement issued earlier this week, Richardson apologized for his comments, saying, “The podcast was intended to be a series of irreverent conversations between longtime friends who had a history of joking around. Even with the passage of time, it’s more than clear that my attempts to be funny and provocative were not acceptable, and I have removed the episodes. My responsibilities today as a father, husband, and a public personality who speaks to many people through my role on television means I have substantial and serious obligations as a role model, and I intend to live up to them.”
Richards was one of many guests hosts, which included “Reading Rainbow” host LeVar Burton, legendary “Jeopardy!” contestant Ken Jennings and Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as the show searched for a permanent replacement for Alex Trebek.
It was recently revealed that Richards would handle the daily duties behind the podium while “Big Bang Theory” actor and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik would do primetime tournaments. The decision to go with the show’s EP left many fans scratching their heads and saying he basically gave himself the job.
According to Richard’s statement via Sony on Friday, Jeopardy! will resume the search for a permanent host and will be bringing back guest hosts to continue production on the new season.

Australia vs India 2018-19: Former India batsman Virender Sehwag gave his views on the fourth-day action of the ongoing Test between India and Australia.
India ended day four in the driver’s seat. At stumps, Australia were 104-4, still 219 runs shy of their target. Spin spearhead R Ashwin (2-44) accounted for Aaron Finch (11) and Usman Khawaja (8) while pacer Shami (2-15) dismissed debutant Marcus Harris (26) and Peter Handscomb (14) to put India in a commanding position.
Australia’s slim hopes now lies on how Shaun Marsh (31*) and first-innings’ half-centurion Travis Head do with the bat on the final day. Australia will have to pull off their biggest chase at Adelaide Oval to beat India. Currently, their highest successful chase on the ground in 315 which came way back in 1902 against England.
In fact, the hosts would have been well out of the contest had India not suffered an inexplicable batting collapse. India were comfortably placed at 282 for 5 before losing their last five wickets for just 25 runs.
Cheteshwar Pujara (71) and Ajinkya Rahane (70) started the proceedings on day four. The two added 83 runs to the overnight score before Nathan Lyon dismissed Pujara. The Australia spinner then removed Rohit Sharma for just 1 before Rishabh Pant slammed 28 off 16. But he departed soon too and Rahane didn’t last long either. But Rahane’s fifty ensured India post a challenging total. So far, the target looks like a winning target as Australia have made a stuttering start to their chase.
And Virender Sehwag perfectly summed up the day’s action with his tweet, writing:
“Firmly India’s day today and all looks set for a memorable India win. Rahane batted beautifully today and the bowlers were excellent to not allow Australia to score freely and pick up 4 wickets”
India, meanwhile, are searching for their first-ever Test win on Australian soil since the victory in Perth ten years ago. Since then India have lost 6 of the eight Tests they played in Australia.

Lakers sign second-round pick Jordan Clarkson
Combo guard Jordan Clarkson has signed with the Lakers.
The 6-foot-5 Clarkson has the potential to play both guard positions, and the Lakers used him both on and off the ball at summer league in Las Vegas. In five games there, he averaged 15.8 points and 5.0 rebounds, shooting 42 percent from the 3-point line.
Last year at Missouri, Clarkson averaged 17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, but made just 28 percent of his 3s. He has great size and athleticism if he's going to be a point guard, but he'll need to prove he can shoot and create consistently at the NBA level. Until then, Clarkson will learn from Steve Nash and Jeremy Lin and try to compete with them for minutes. There probably won't be much playing time available behind Kobe Bryant, Nick Young and Xavier Henry at the shooting guard spot.

This blog post is part of a series of posts related to National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
Human trafficking victims are often hidden in plain sight. That was the case in northern Virginia in 2009 when Jose Ciro Juarez-Santamaria, an El Salvadoran national and MS-13 gang member, forced a 12-year-old girl – a runaway – into a life of prostitution. This past October, thanks in large part to the work of our Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, Juarez-Santamaria was sentenced to life in prison for child sex trafficking.
Sadly, scenarios like this one play out across the country every day. Through the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) HSI agents, DHS works hard to prevent and combat human trafficking. Last fiscal year, ICE initiated more than human trafficking investigations, which resulted in more than 900 arrests, 400 indictments and 270 convictions.
You can help us combat human trafficking and continue to put traffickers like Juarez-Santamaria behind bars. I urge you to keep your eyes and ears open to report suspicious activity and help us crack down on these horrific crimes.
At ICE, we not only investigate cases of human trafficking, but we also provide services and support to trafficking victims. ICE has full-time victim assistance coordinators at nearly 70 percent of its HSI field offices. We also have 350 collateral-duty coordinators who provide counseling and crisis intervention services when necessary.
President Obama declared January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Please join ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the fight against this heinous crime. If you suspect human trafficking, I encourage you to call 866-DHS-2-ICE or complete our online tip form. We can’t combat human trafficking without your assistance.

Intelligrated, a North American-based automated material handling solutions provider, introduces its resident maintenance program for high-velocity distribution operations. This program places certified technicians on-site full-time to handle material handling system and facility maintenance functions, provide guaranteed uptime, extend the life of equipment and lower total maintenance costs.
Depending on facility size and staffing level, Intelligrated’s resident maintenance program guarantees uptime between 97 and 99 percent. With Intelligrated taking responsibility for system maintenance, operations staff can focus on strategic planning, product flow and peak performance, rather than lubrication schedules and wiring checks.
Intelligrated assumes responsibility for labor recruitment, training and retention for each program, and guards system knowledge by cataloging vital information among a broad base of system experts and databases. This alleviates the burden of hiring and training new technical staff as maintenance regulations and requirements evolve, leaving operations less vulnerable to employee turnover and the limited availability of skilled maintenance personnel. Services can also extend to components beyond the installed base of material handling equipment, with some operations using resident maintenance technicians for all facility systems.
Intelligrated’s resident maintenance technicians leverage a facility’s existing computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) or set up new CMMS software integrated with ERP and WCS systems to track each facility asset and ensure efficient management throughout its lifecycle. A CMMS tracks maintenance status, equipment use, run time and expected individual component wear, to guide decisions on maintenance activities and equipment performance.
To calculate potential savings from a contracted resident maintenance program, operations can consider sales volume, downtime, employees, hours worked and wage structure.
“For instance, a facility operating 4,500 hours per year with four percent downtime could reduce downtime by 56.25 hours with a resident maintenance uptime guarantee,” said Kieran Ryan, director, field services. “This results in more than $1.25 million in annual savings from downtime
alone, with a further $500,000 saved through restructuring in-house maintenance costs.”

I hear them outside my office before I see them: footsteps, then voices, two at minimum, but sometimes more. I lean in closer to my desk, listening to their feet shuffle.
They always travel in packs.
When they start talking three feet short of the threshold, it goes something like this:
“I think she’s in there.”
“Are you sure? I don’t hear anything.”
“She’s not, like, a lion or something.”
“What’s that even mean?”
“I don’t know. But the door is open.”
“She leaves the door open all the time. We’ll come back later.”
“Look, just go in. It’s fine. I don’t want to miss lunch.”
“I can’t do it.”
“So write her an email.”
“Or,” I call, “you can just come in, because I’m here, too.”
And so they peek through the door, looking sheepish. It will be a student wanting to talk to me about a paper draft, or ask if I’ll chaperone an event, or check with me about missing work. Their emotional support companion will always insist they’re just going to hang out in the hall, it’s cool, no problem, until I remind them I have chocolate and tea and two guest chairs, so they may as well come in, too. The food is tempting enough for the third friend to stay, if there is one, staking out a spot on the floor. Sitting there is a small price to pay for hospitality when you’re tired and afraid. They look bemused as I pass them Wonder Woman and Darth Vader mugs.
If I haven’t smiled already, I do now.
In the consuite of the 2016 Nebula Awards conference in Chicago, I’m trying to figure out how to tell Fran Wilde I loved Updraft. It’s the first of many encounters at many conferences, many conventions where I’ll struggle with excitement over meeting authors I admire, trying to square them with my fears of not belonging. I’m more than a year away from the novel I’ve just sold actually coming out. I don’t have a single professionally qualifying story sale to my name yet. But I move around the con, gathering people up like a social katamari, collecting humans as I roll past, because if I slow down to think about who I’m talking to, I’ll fall apart. I tuck myself into pockets of people, lingering after panels to chat with folks who asked interesting questions, getting sodas at the bar with people who are good enough not to care that I don’t drink.
I introduce myself as having the best job in the world. I teach science fiction and fantasy literature, and creative writing, and nearly anything else I want to lay hands on at a public boarding school for gifted STEM students. More than a few people make envious noises.
When I’m out at a con or a reading event, teaching is my calling card, a way of opening the doors I want my students to walk through. I spend a lot of time thinking about the nervous students outside my office coming with their own security detail. I envy them that protection. But I plow on, anyway.
I have people to meet.
I have students to be brave for.
There are a lot of teacher certification programs out there. A lot of courses of study and continuing education geared toward teaching people how to be educators. Some of them might even work. I wouldn’t know. I’ve never enrolled in one.
Everything I know about teaching is an extrapolation of handing someone a napkin at a cocktail reception or discovering a forgotten purse at a bar, the encounters turning into nights of conversation. My teaching is spotting moments of opportunity and jumping into them. It’s working on the fly, changing plans, making new goals when old ones fail. It’s sometimes not knowing what the goal needs to be until I walk into the classroom and read the expressions on my students’ faces.
We tend to forget how much courage learning requires. To be constantly judged and measured and given feedback and expected to act on it. We forget, too, that being a student means carrying the constant fear of not being taken seriously. When they are forever scrutinized, the terror that someone will laugh at your ideas sits in a student’s stomach like a stone. How could it be otherwise?
It’s true that I grade papers and teach stories, but these are a very small part of my real job.
I am in the business of teaching young people to be brave.
I’ve shown my students my rejections, both from agents and editors, and I’ve shown them excerpts from edit letters and critique partner feedback. I’ve taken students to author speaking engagements and nudged us to the front of a scrum to say hello, or stopped a discussion in class to tweet a student’s thought or question at the author we’ve been reading. It doesn’t always work out, but I have to show them what it looks like to try. I have to answer their courage with at least a little of my own.
I’m an introvert by nature. Like many introverts with a knack for performance, I play garrulous and charming well. I’m good for about six, maybe seven hours of it before I lapse into a kind of social vegetative state, staring at walls and hearing only parts of sentences I can’t summon the energy to answer. But it’s a convenient battery life. Sufficient. It covers the hours I’m likely to spend in classrooms or at meetings, and tends to be enough to push me through a day of panels and readings at a con. Deep down, I still have a horror of saying the wrong thing, of making a fool of myself, of being the odd person out.
For my students, I put that aside. For my students, I connect with people, because as much as my students need books and stories, they need to see the courage and creativity of others—the things I ask them to try on for size, to risk embodying themselves—even more. They need to meet creators so they can learn that kind of strength is alive and well in the world.
A quick review of the most commonly taught texts in American secondary schools reveals that, in the publics and privates alike, English reading lists generally share one thing in common: everyone on them is dead.
I have nothing against Shakespeare, or Dickens, or Twain (though I admit I have rather a lot against Salinger and Hemingway). There are plenty of authors who have shuffled off this mortal coil whose works provide crucial windows into human nature and the struggles we face. But there’s little that can match the power of seeing a student speak to the author of the text they’ve just read and catching the light in their eyes that clearly says this is the first time they’ve read something by a living person and also had access to them.
I build connections with other writers so my students can Skype them, tweet at them, meet them in person on campus visits, or answer questions for them on blogs about their perspectives as readers. I want them to see and be seen, to experience stories and their authors as living realities. I want my students to meet writers who will inspire them to tell their own amazing stories. And I want these creators to experience the validation of their work being written about in papers, debated in classrooms, read late at night in dog-piles of students in residence halls who hop on Discord to argue with each other about what they read long after in-room curfew.
In the end, authors and students alike want to believe they’re seen and listened to. I never really know if my students are listening to me as closely as I’d like, but I know they listen to the people I’ve brought them together with.
That’s enough to make me screw my courage to the sticking place.
Matt stops by my office as I’m working on the outline for this essay. (His name isn’t Matt, but that isn’t important.) He starts by apologizing for interrupting what I’m doing.
I try not to laugh. I’ve been flailing between writing this essay and not writing it, caroming between productivity and self-recrimination, a roaring case of impostor syndrome drowning out my ideas. Sure, Matt. Come in. Please, please, come in.
He’s anxious because the novel he’s been working on has stalled out, and after weeks of not knowing how to get back into it, he’s wondering if he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
I know the feeling. We talk about writing fanfiction as a way to give his brain a break, or to rev it up again, depending. He confesses he’s been pouring most of his creative energy into the D&D game he’s running for friends in his residence hall, and that leads to a tangled conversation about possibly using the structures of storytelling used in a game session to inform his writing. When it’s my turn to kvetch, I opine about the copyedit for my second novel which is damned near killing me. He ends up taking some tea with me and debating the utility of subgenre distinctions for writers as compared to readers. Soon, though, it has to end. We both have classes to get to.
He stops in the doorway before running down the hall. Matt tends to look me in the eye, which I like, both because plenty of students can’t bear to, and because I know I was terrible at doing it, too, at that age. Mostly, I still am.
“I wanted to say thanks, by the way.”
“Just…” He shrugs. “Everything. Always listening. Believing in me. I know it’s not very interesting and you don’t really have the time, but—”
I put up a hand to stop him. “It’s always interesting. You’re always worth the time.”
He smiles, and then he’s gone.
I don’t have time to think about that encounter until later, once I’m back in my office facing this draft again, remembering I’m also supposed to be coming up with moderator questions for a panel with Seanan McGuire next week.
I can’t help but wonder if she’d have better ideas than me about how Matt can get back into his troublesome novel.
The only way to know is to be brave enough to ask.

A TIME TO RECOGNISE
‘BECAUSE OF HER, WE CAN’ IS THE THEME OF THIS YEAR’S NAIDOC WEEK
NAIDOC stands for “National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee”. The committee was once responsible for co-ordinating activities during a week of commemoration of Australia’s indigenous peoples and the acronym has stuck.
Each year, a National NAIDOC Awards Ceremony is held to recognise the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across many fields of endeavour including community work, environmental care, the arts, sport and academia.
Past winners of NAIDOC’s Person of the Year award are NBA basketballer Patty Mills, educationalist Chris Sarra, academic Larissa Behrendt, AFL identity Darryl Kickett, actor Deborah Mailman and sportsman Anthony Mundine.
Each NAIDOC Week has a theme. The 2018 theme is “Because of her, we can”, a tribute to the role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women play as pillars of the community.
Local communities around Australia organise hundreds of NAIDOC events. Details of many local celebrations can be found on the NAIDOC website at naidoc.org.au.

A coral ensemble record of the El Niño southern oscillation over the mid-to-late holocene
Grothe, Pamela R.
MetadataShow full item record
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) represents the largest source of year-to-year global climate extremes. However, its sensitivity to external climate forcing, whether natural or anthropogenic, is difficult to assess with available records. Paleoclimate reconstructions from the central tropical Pacific provide much-needed targets for climate models that are used to simulate future projections of ENSO variability under enhanced greenhouse emissions. Coral oxygen isotopes track variations in sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity, which is largely driven by ENSO. To date, paleo records rely on rare but decades-long fossil coral sequences that date to the last 7,000 years [Cobb et al., 2013]. This study turns to using abundant but shorter sequences (7-20yrs-long) of fossil coral rubble samples to produce a more statistically robust reconstruction of ENSO from the central tropical Pacific through the last 7,000 years. In Chapter 1, I provide relevant background information on ENSO in order to place this dissertation into broader scientific context. This includes the basics on ENSO dynamics and the different spatial patterns of El Niño events. I also explain the different proxies that have evolved our understanding of ENSO throughout the Holocene. Lastly, I mention where we currently are in understanding future projections of ENSO behavior under greenhouse gas emissions. In Chapter 2, I address one of the largest challenges in using a large number of fossil corals for paleoclimate reconstruction, which involves dating hundreds of coral samples cheaply and quickly. I compared the coral dating results from a rapid radiocarbon (14C) dating method, developed at the University of California Irvine, to high precision uranium-thorium (U/Th) dates, considered the gold standard of coral dating. The rapid 14C dating method allows for ~300 samples to be analyzed per week at $40/sample versus ~30 samples per week at $500/sample for U/Th dating. My results demonstrate the utility of employing 14C dating to screen large numbers of corals, followed by more limited U/Th dating on samples chosen for paleoclimate reconstruction. In addition, my extensive fossil coral dating has provided a map of fossil coral age distributions across Christmas Island in the central tropical Pacific. In Chapter 3, we extend the paleo-ENSO record through the generation of 16 new fossil coral δ18O timeseries, averaging 15yrs each, for a total of 233 years of data that greatly augment the available paleo-ENSO archive. Combining this new dataset with published data, we quantify the differences in natural variations in ENSO from the early mid-Holocene to present. In this study, we document a significant increase in recent ENSO variance as compared to the last 7,000 years, implying a role for greenhouse gases in driving an intensification of ENSO. We also find a significant reduction in ENSO variance of roughly 20% from 3,000-5,000yr before present, relative to the preceding and subsequent intervals of data. The causes of the late mid-Holocene reduction in ENSO variance may be linked to the influence of fall and/or spring equatorial insolation forcing, which perturbs the seasonal cycle at the critical growth and decay phases of ENSO extremes, respectively. In distinguishing between natural variability and forced changes in ENSO, we assess the significance of our results using a variety of different null hypotheses that includes output from both a statistical and dynamical model of ENSO variability. Our findings imply that ENSO is sensitive to external forcing, both natural and anthropogenic, although the precise mechanisms for such responses require further study. Our results imply that anthropogenic climate change likely contributed to the record-breaking 2015/2016 El Niño event, and that future ENSO variance is unlikely to decrease under continued greenhouse forcing. In Chapter 4, I conclude the major work presented in this study and highlight the next steps in this research towards understanding how mean climate has changed throughout the Holocene and how it affects ENSO variability.


Madagascar will import 500 vehicles made by the Chinese manufacturer Yutong to improve common transportation in the Indian Ocean island country, local sources disclosed on Tuesday. "The technical and financial offers as well as after-sales services offered by the company Yutong meet our expectations," the leader of Malagasy transporters, Bernardin Andriambinintsolomora, told Xinhua. "The cars are scheduled to arrive in Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital, in June," Andriambinintsolomora added. The leader of Malagasy transporters said two commercial banks are ready to finance the purchase of these vehicles. "We are negotiating with the country leaders for the loan rate and the non- payment of the first payment for transporters." The transporters chose two categories of buses. One contains 40 seats with a length of 7.32 meters at a cost of 40,000 U. S. dollars. It consumes 13 liters of fuel per 100 km. Another contains 30 seats, with a length of 6.50 meters. It consumes 15 liters of fuel per 100 km and costs 30,000 dollars. The Malagasy government will guarantee to banks for transporters who will borrow money, according to Andriambinintsolomora. The import follows the visit of Malagasy transporters to China in December 2012, when they sought support from Chinese car manufacturers to improve transportation in Madagascar.


The Iowa Legislature has opened its 2018 session at the state capitol in Des Moines.
Republican Speaker Linda Upmeyer gaveled the House into session at 10am, moments after the state senate started:
OC………….in regular session. :14
One of the first orders of business in the state senate was to swear in its newest member, District 3 Republican James Carlin of Sioux City.
OC…thank you. :09
Carlin won the senate seat in a special election last month to serve the final year of Bill Anderson’s term, who resigned to enter private business in November.
The legislators have roughly 100 days to approve a budget and pass legislation that will be on voters’ minds in this year’s midterm election.
All House seats and half in the Senate are up for grabs.

This practical book offers teachers a comprehensive approach to literacy instruction that puts students at the centre of the learning process. Based on the latest learning theories, the book provides: an overview of the nuts and bolts of reading instruction ; techniques for supporting writers ; poetry, storytelling, and drama activities that foster alternate ways of learning ; language experiences that guide students from traditional learning to our complex digital world. This book offers the background and strategies teachers need to encourage students to question, discover, and learn. Thoughtful and inspiring, the book helps educators reflect on their role as teacher and better meet the literacy needs of all their students.
How do we ensure that all students are engaged each day in meaningful, challenging, and joyful work and have equal opportunity to learn? That is the central question Regie Routman addresses in Literacy Essentials Engagement, Excellence, and Equity for All Learners. Her response is that such an outcome is only possible within a culture of empowerment in which all students and teachers feel encouraged and supported to let their voices be heard, explore their passions and interests, develop deep knowledge, and become their fullest and truest selves. Based on her ongoing teaching, leading, and coaching in diverse schools and districts, Regie offers K-12 teachers and leaders practical, easy-to-implement tools to help students develop as self-determining readers, writers, and learners including: - Take Action sections with specific suggestions for authentically teaching, assessing, and learning - Extensive research that is easily accessible and actionable - Personal stories that connect to literacy teaching and learning - Rich online resources including a comprehensive lesson plan, an easy-to-use study guide, downloadable Appendices, and more. Literacy Essentials shows what's possible when teachers and schools raise expectations for all students and create an intellectual culture based on trust, collaborative expertise, and celebration of learners' strengths.
Teaching English language arts at grades K-5 is both a science and an art. Educators must teach literacy skills and content with best practices, while also keeping focus on each student's individual needs. They are challenged to monitor students working independently while also conducting small group instruction. And they must focus on providing differentiated support with a rather complicated text. With increased attention to rigor, requirements, and personalized instruction, it can be a challenge to make sure all students are receiving instruction that is just right. Comprehensive Literacy Basics: An Anthology by Capstone Professional contains useful tips to support educators. Chapters focus on each part of the literacy and language arts block, including whole group, small group, writing, and differentiation. A collection of expert authors specializing in literacy and language arts instruction contributed chapters to the book. The quick tips and suggestions within will reinforce current practices while providing an invaluable go-to reference. FAMIS #902792539
Language and literacy instruction in English needs to begin early and continue throughout the elementary years. This book provides research-based, best practices for developing language and literacy from kindergarten through 5th grade. It encourages teachers to build on ELL students' linguistic and cultural background knowledge.
Committed to embracing the power of oral language, Literacy Out Loud recognizes the important role "talk" plays in developing the reading and writing abilities that students need in school and beyond. The book offers strategies where oral language takes centre stage and is fostered through engaging activities. Literacy activities and events focus on all aspects of listening and speaking, and emphasize enjoyable, purposeful, social learning. The book argues that listening and speaking, or "talk," is at the heart of a vibrant classroom. It shows teachers how to nurture dynamic classroom talk that is essential in its own right, and makes all learning possible.
Now there's a way to blend balanced literacy and formative assessment. This book infuses research-based best practices of formative assessment through the lens of Common Core, with assessment support in these areas: read-alouds, guiding language into reading, language and literacy centers, and independent reading and writing. It also includes the "how" for novice and veteran K-8 teachers, administrators, and school literacy teams. Resources are included to help educators collect information and provide feedback to students.
Literacy Teacher Educators: Preparing Teachers for a Changing World brings together the perspectives of 26 literacy/English teacher educators from four countries: Canada, U.S., UK, and Australia. In this unique text the contributors, of whom many are renowned experts in critical literacy and multiliteracies, provide readers with an overview of trends in literacy/English teacher education. The chapters begin with authors’ personal stories and current research, giving readers insight into the personal and professional worlds of the contributors. Included in each chapter is a rich description of approaches to literacy instruction in teacher education. These exemplary teacher educators show in concrete detail how they are addressing our evolving understanding of literacy . This timely text, written in a highly engaging style, will be of value to teacher educators throughout the world. I have never read anything quite like this book. It contains explicit representations of the conceptual frames and work of distinguished literacy teacher educators at various stages in their careers, accounts that provide a strong counter-narrative to the mainstream discourse in policy and education, that fully embrace the uncertainties and complexities of practice." From the Forward by Susan L. Lytle, Professor Emerita of Education in the Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania
Perspectives on Transitions in Schooling and Instructional Practice examines student transitions between major levels of schooling, teacher transitions in instructional practice, and the intersection of these two significant themes in education research. Twenty-six leading international experts offer meaningful insights on current pedagogical practices, obstacles to effective transitions, and proven strategies for stakeholders involved in supporting students in transition. The book is divided into four sections, representing the four main transitions in formal schooling: Early Years (Home, Pre-school, and Kindergarten) to Early Elementary (Grades 13); Early Elementary to Late Elementary (Grades 48); Late Elementary to Secondary (Grades 912); and Secondary to Post-Secondary (College and University). A coda draws together over-arching themes from throughout the text to provide recommendations and a visual model that captures their interactions. Combining theoretical approaches with practical examples of school-based initiatives, this book will appeal to those involved in supporting either the student experience (both academically and emotionally) or teacher professional learning and growth.
This practical and thorough guide offers clear explanations of what transmedia storytelling is and shows how it can be integrated into library programming that fosters multimodal literacy with K–12 learners. • Offers the first practical guide to transmedia storytelling that gives librarians new ways to create excitement in the library, engage learners, and foster multiple literacies • Provides complete, step-by-step guidelines for transmedia-rich library programs • Introduces new areas of research and best practices in technology integration wholly applicable to libraries • Covers topics such as new literacies, participatory storytelling, learning through gamification, maker programs, using digital badges to motivate young learners, and more
Three common routines are seen in almost every primary language arts programs: morning messages, shared readings, and word walls. These routines should be integrated to support the total language arts program, but are teachers of grades K-2 getting the most bang for their buck out of these activities? Morning messages can become very routinized and repeat the same experiences over and over again. Shared readings are sometimes conducted with little variation in spite of changing demands from the texts being used and changing needs in the learners with whom they are being used. Word walls might be put up with some attention early in the year and remain virtually unchanged as the year moves forward. Intensifying Classroom Routines in Reading and Writing Programs focuses on how teachers can get more instructional mileage out of these three common classroom routines. Author Michael P. Ford lays out step-by-step, day-by-day plans to put those three key routines on a cycle that changes as students move through developmental phases. This resource helps teachers plan for emergent and early readers and writers. It also looks at how teachers can assist students as they move through critical areas, including concepts of print, alphabetic knowledge, phonological awareness, sound-symbol relationships, high-frequency words, structural analysis, context clues, comprehension strategies, and composition strategies. With these intensified routines in place, students will clearly see connections between reading and writing.

Ocean ecosystems are dying because of pollution, overfishing, and the effects of climate change.
“We had the warmest temperature in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 28.2 degrees and this leads to mass mortality,” says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) contributor Professor Jean-Pierre Gattuso in this episode of Ocean Calls.
The scientist describes a marine heatwave that hit the picturesque French Riviera this summer.
“Approximately 20 per cent of the coastal zone between the surface and ten-metre depth is lost.”
“In 2015 we had 80 per cent mortality of the coral reefs in the southern Red Sea, and they haven't recovered yet, seven years after,” says Prof Carlos Duarte, a marine ecologist at the King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia, our second guest on this episode.
In 2020, the two scientists co-authored a paper ‘Rebuilding Marine Life’ in the journal Nature, in which they listed five main actions to take in order to restore the abundance of marine life lost to human activity and climate change.
First, the actions needed to protect species. Second, spaces - the so-called Marine Protected Areas, then removing pressures on the ocean and addressing climate change “with a high level of ambition”.
“Then it's also to harvest wisely and to remove pollution,” Duarte highlights.
A helping hand from humans
Coral reefs are one of the richest ecosystems on Earth. Home to a quarter of all marine life, they also protect communities on land and offer an invaluable source of food.
Mangroves and seagrasses, just like trees, absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester it helping us fight climate change. But all of these ecosystems are in grave danger. According to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), 66 per cent of our oceans are impacted by human activities.
Duarte believes that in order to recover, nature needs humans to be actively involved.
“If we just protect the spaces, but we allow the recovery to happen without assistance from humans, that is going to be much slower than if we actively engage in giving a helping hand to nature,” he says.
While there are effective ways to restore mangroves and sea grasses, coral reefs present a bigger challenge as the success rate is often as little as 10 per cent, Duarte points out.
“So the emerging concept is that we don't just do restoration with randomly collected corals or the same corals stock that was actually wiped out by the heat wave,” he says, explaining that these corals will not survive the next heatwave.
Instead, the scientists suggest using marginal corals “that don’t look like much” but that were able to survive in the waters of poor quality.
Gattuso believes that the existing restoration efforts are not enough to turn back time.
“I'm not convinced by the scale of the operation,” he says.
“I'm sure it will lead to major developments both in science and technology. But how are you going to restore hundreds of kilometres square kilometres of reefs, you know?”
According to Gattuso, restoring nature isn’t enough to fight climate change and a bigger effort is needed.
“There are countries that prefer to invest in the blue carbon ecosystems, like increasing resilience of coral reefs such as Australia. And at the same time increasing tremendously the mining of coal,” he says.
“You cannot do both. You need to cut down on the use of fossil fuels,” Gattuso insists.
So, what can be done? Can we repair the damage? Can these and other precious ecosystems like seagrasses and mangroves not only be preserved, but also actively restored?
To answer these questions we’re talking to Prof Carlos Duarte, Executive Director of the Coral Research & Development Accelerator Platform, also known as CORDAP and an ocean acidification expert and IPCC contributor, Prof Jean-Pierre Gattuso, research director at the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche-sur-Mer.
And at the end of the episode, you’ll hear from Mission Blue founder and legendary oceanographer, a pioneer in the use of modern scuba gear, Sylvia Earle.

Florida is asking a federal court to approve eight 12-hour days of early voting in five counties, saying it would not harm African-American voters. Gov. Rick Scott’s administration filed papers with U.S. District Court in Washington, saying that 96 hours of early voting, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for eight days, including a Sunday, would comply with the Voting Rights Act. Hillsborough, Collier, Hardee and Hendry counties agreed in writing to hold eight 12-hour days of early voting in an effort to win statewide approval of the new schedule from a panel of three federal judges. Those four counties and Monroe, in the Florida Keys, cannot implement changes to voting without federal approval so that minority voters are protected from discrimination. The state acted despite Monroe County’s refusal to join the other four counties in the state’s request. Monroe wants 12 days of early voting for eight hours each day, saying that is better for Keys voters.
The court itself suggested the 12-hour schedule as a way for Florida to secure preclearance in the five counties, a process that began last year. Three federal judges last week denied the state’s petition for preclearance, saying the new law allowed a minimum of 48 hours of early voting that would discourage African Americans from voting. “Having invited Florida to bring such a plan to the court for review, the court should permit this amendment,” the state said in court papers.
The state’s request applies only to the five preclearance counties. Elsewhere, county supervisors of election still have the discretion to schedule early voting, from a minimum of 48 hours, or six hours a day for eight days, to a maximum of 96 (12 hours a day for eight days). The new law, unlike the old, requires that early voting be held on one Sunday, Oct. 28.

School decision-makers missed the mark with pandemic policies, say parents
Parents say well-being of kids was not a priority for policy makers, says survey from Angus Reid Institute
It's been several weeks since Quebec lifted its mask mandate for schools — just as students returned from spring break — but Katherine Korakakis continues to feel a bit nervous as her daughter Bella sits in class this week without a mask.
Though her 11-year-old agreed to keep one on for two weeks post-break (thinking of how many classmates had travelled) and despite her cautious optimism about easing restrictions, the Montreal parent felt the province's decision to drop the school mask mandate at that time was yet another frustrating pandemic policy concerning kids.
"Taking the masks away so fast after spring break? That was not putting our children in the best position possible," said Korakakis, who serves as president of Quebec's English Parents' Committee Association.
From debates over masking in schools to students repeatedly bounced between in-person and remote learning, many parents feel Canadian policy-makers have let our children down during the pandemic.
In a recent survey conducted between March 1 and 4 of this year, Angus Reid Institute in partnership with CBC News asked 2,550 Canadian adults about how they fared amid COVID-19. (A probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.)
Sixty-seven per cent of the parent respondents (those with children under age 18) said policy-makers have not given enough consideration to the well-being of children when making decisions during the pandemic. That figure rose even higher — to 72 per cent — for respondents with children specifically aged six to 12 years old.
- Read the full report, including detailed tables and methodology.
- Read the questionnaire in English and French.
Beyond the masks situation, other school-related concerns also require prompt attention, Korakakis said, from declines in student mental and physical health to learning gaps that have developed or worsened.
"The pandemic really shed the light on … all the areas that need to be improved and I don't see a plan in place to address any of those needs."
With so much of a child's life revolving around school, it's not surprising that parents questioned school-related decision-making in the past two years, said Angus Reid Institute president Shachi Kurl, from Vancouver.
"When we think of school not just as a place to learn but as a place for early life development, it's little wonder that parents — no matter where they're coming from in terms of their ideological stance on the spectrum or their economic stance or their own educational stance — [felt] frustration around what policy makers are doing."
Children 'have not been prioritized'
Part of that parental frustration rests with our polarized landscape. Some parents think mask mandates are a good idea, while others don't, "so when they're being dropped, that's problematic. When they're being retained, that's [also] problematic," said Tracy Vaillancourt, a professor of counselling psychology at the University of Ottawa, chair of the COVID-19 Task Force for the Royal Society of Canada, and Canada Research Chair in school-based mental health and violence prevention.
But she said child advocates like herself have also been "quite frustrated … about how [children] have not been prioritized when decisions have been made about their health and wellness."
"A lot of times politicians give lip service to saying that they're going to prioritize children... When we put money toward an issue, we say that we prioritize that issue; we value that it's an important aspect to address. And that's not happening. There's actually cuts happening in these areas instead of added funding."
Child mental health, for instance, was an issue on the radar even before the pandemic, Vaillancourt said. She wants to see government and school officials think more holistically, funding strategies to ensure students catch up academically from pandemic learning loss, but also prioritizing child and youth mental health.
"I don't want us to be putting kids in summer school and infusing them with reading, writing and arithmetic curriculum just to make sure that we get them back [to] pre-pandemic standardized scores," she said.
Vaillancourt also said improving maternal mental health will benefit kids.
"Maternal depression and maternal anxiety — these are not good things for a child," she said.
"If we are going to have kids be healthy, we also need their families to be healthy... I would like to see us prioritize the wellness of mothers, in particular."
Parents lean into advocacy
In Surrey, B.C., spring break is coming to an end for Rani Senghera's nine-year-old sons, Jora and Kesar. British Columbia is dropping its mask mandate in schools after the two-week break and updating other measures in classes as well, but she's asked the twins to keep wearing masks for now.
"At this time, whatever you're feeling comfortable with you should do," said Senghera, who is also the media director for the Surrey District Parent Advisory Council.
During the pandemic, she's seen parents pay more attention to and speak up more regarding decisions affecting their children, asking questions that shine new light on pre-existing problems and issues in schools.
She said they're noticing, for instance, "'these portables don't have sinks [for hand-washing]. Why don't they have sinks?'" and "'Why is the air filter system in the classroom not up to grade? Why isn't it kept maintained? Why isn't it at the highest level that it should be?'"
- Ontario lifts mask mandates in most spaces, but it's no 'light switch' for pre-pandemic life, expert says
Senghera said she thinks Canadian parents have made a difference by speaking up for their kids in the past two years. Yet she hopes parents will have even better communication with and more consideration from education and government officials deciding school-related policy in the future.
"Parents are way at the bottom of the ladder when it comes to decision-making … when we should be the number 1 people that they ask first, because those are our kids that are in the schools."

Group Collecting Signatures to Cut Bureaucrats' Overtime Work
Newsfrom JapanPolitics Society
Tokyo, Oct. 30 (Jiji Press)--A group of heads of private companies and others in Japan has started collecting signatures online to reduce overtime work by workers in Tokyo's Kasumigaseki district, home to many central government offices.
Amid the new coronavirus epidemic, the working environment for government employees is said to be worsening.
The group is calling for support, saying that "working practices in the central government have an impact on the country's civil society." It calls on government ministries and agencies to shut their offices at 10 p.m.
The action was the idea of Kentaro Kawabe, president of Yahoo Japan Corp. and its parent, Z Holdings Corp. <4689>, Yoshihisa Aono, president of computer software developer Cybozu Inc. <4776>, and 17 others.
The group plans to submit signatures and a proposal to each government body in late November.

Bertolli is also the first writer I read who urges pasta makers to go the extra step of milling their own flour. Lots and lots of books. It is a bit short on detail and process photos that would help a newbie succeed. Instead, you can make it at home with relative ease and there are many different options for filling. Once the pasta is cooked you need to take it out of the water and allow it to steam dry for a minute or two before mixing it with any sauce or dressing.
Save his doughs for parties. Top Pick Finding a top pick for pasta cookbooks is tough because the best choice strongly depends on the experience level and needs of the person making pasta. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do. You've likely made pasta at home a handful of times and are ready to jump in deep. Unlike the previous examples, this cookbook is just about the recipes. But this book is aimed at someone who already knows the basics of making pasta.
Homemade Pasta Dough In many ways, this cookbook acts as an introduction to the world of making your own pasta. Bring the pan of water to the boil then add your pasta. Photo by Chelsea Kyle Advertisement The book takes time to suggest "Pasta Swaps," highlighting shapes that go well with similar sauce and ingredient sets. The classes they link you up with are extraordinary facilities that exceed expectations.

It is super convenient and makes trying new things easy. Louis isn't trying to prove that she's mastered every Italian regional quirk with her food—her Pingo on pasta book has modern influences, drawing on other cultures by including non-Italian ingredients like Pingo on pasta book and za'atar.
Heyser Pasta has long been one of my obsessions. Most importantly, both are overall excellent books. As far as Pingo on pasta book rating, I'd absolutely give your site a And his dough is indeed wonderful. As a result, the book might not be suitable for beginners, especially as the author does spend a considerable amount of time raving about pasta rather than providing practical information.
Vetri is a master and it shows, and his recipes, instruction and flavors are top notch. Ideal for cooking for a crowd, Dutch Oven meals can serve six or more people. Make your meals ahead and freeze them for later.
Freshly milled flour has an aroma and texture wholly unlike anything else: It makes the noodle the star. Bertolli is also the first writer I read who urges pasta makers to go the extra step of milling their own flour. I am assuming this section was written for their fellow restaurant chefs.
It also fits into our Slow Cooker Stand which makes it a weeknight star. All the fresh pasta here is "hand-made," meaning none of the recipes in Louis' book require special equipment namely, Pingo on pasta book KitchenAid attachment or rolling pin to flatten dough into thin sheets.
His section on wheat is fascinating. But if you are thinking about taking that first scary step towards strands or curls or twists or folds of homemade pasta goodness or merely need some inspiration Pingo on pasta book your journey, then this is the book for you.
While some recipes are designed for more skilled and experienced cooks, many others are basic and can be a good place to get started. Calling it versatile is an understatement: Rockcrok Collection pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stovetop to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders.
Drain and leave to steam dry for a few mins, just until the surface of the pasta looks matte. Homemade pasta is a quiet way to show your love for those you are feeding, or just to show off. But it will make you want to master the craft. After about 8 mins of boiling carefully fish a piece or strand of pasta out of the pan, allow it to cool and taste it.
This cookbook manages a good balance between complicated and simple, offering good images and instructions along the way. These chapters There is not much I love to eat more than pasta. There are some recipes in this regard but less than you may expect.
Alec S. But if you know how to make pasta and want to expand your skills, you can literally spend years working with The Encyclopedia of Pasta. This page masterpiece, written by the Italian Zanini da Vita and translated by Maureen Fant, deservedly won the James Beard Award when it came out in Use a large, high sided saucepan and add at least ml, or up to 1 litre of water per g dried pasta depending on the capacity of your pan.

Hold the stencil down with repositionable spray adhesive and little bits of masking tape to keep it in place whilst stencilling.

Septic shock caused by a diverse group of bacterial pathogens is a serious human disease. Recognition of bacterial envelope constituents is one mechanism used by mammalian cells to initiate responses leading to bacterial killing or, unfortunately, responses that also cause fatal septic shock. Here we show that CD14 plays a key role in initiating cell activation by a group of bacterial envelope components from Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms, as well as mycobacteria. We propose that CD14 is a receptor used by mammalian cells to recognize and signal responses to a diverse array of bacterial constituents. This finding defines the molecular basis for innate microbial immunity; implicit in these findings are new possibilities for therapeutics.

AceShowbiz - Martha Stewart has insisted on defying age-appropriate dressing. After sharing photos of her wearing a slit dress, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model declared that she doesn't dress up "for one's age."
The 82-year-old entrepreneur opened up about her choice of style when she hit the red carpet at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala on Tuesday, October 17. Speaking to Page Six, she asked, "Dressing for whose age?" She went on to point out, "I don't think about age."
On the reason why, the "Entertaining" author explained, "I think people are more and more and more [fabulous] than there ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them." She further claimed, "I've dressed the same since I was 17. If you look at my pictures on my Instagram, I look pretty much the same."
Martha appeared on the red carpet of the annual event, which took place at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, New York, with fashion designer Dennis Basso. She was in attendance to present Dennis with his Lifetime Achievement Award.
Martha, who appeared youthful in an all-white ensemble consisting of an unbuttoned sparkling long-sleeved blazer and long dress with a plunging neckline, spoke to Footwear News about "her favorite moment" in Dennis' designs. "It's tonight. I've never had a sparkly suit by Dennis Basso before," she marveled.
The former teen model sported the slit dress a few days prior. On Friday, October 13, she uploaded a series of photos capturing her shimmering look via Instagram. In the snaps, she looked confident in a glittery knee-length silver dress that came with an upper-thigh high slit on one of her legs and two long balloon sleeves.
The TV personality added a pair of silver pearl-drop earrings and silver open-toe high heels to match with her sizzling gown. In the photos, she appeared natural with her makeup and pink lipstick. Her light blonde shoulder-length tresses were styled into a simple straight hairdo while her bangs were parted to the side.
Along with the pictures, Martha wrote in the caption of the post, "Fun to dress up every now and then," and offered details about her "versatile" dress which was designed by Andy Chia Yu. She was later showered with praise by Instagram users, including one who exclaimed in the comments section, "Martha still out here slaying!! You are gorgeous!! The epitome of style and grace mixed with fire and sass!!"

Finding the Goddess Within...
Women have more freedom now than ever in history because of the sexual and spiritual awakenings of the ‘60s and ‘70s. We are taking that freedom and forging our own paths. Some are becoming political leaders and CEO’s; breaking through the glass ceiling and stepping into roles routinely held by men. While other women take a different approach, taking a cue from our fore mothers and devoting themselves to their families. Either path is perfectly valid; for one is no less courageous than the other. These two types of women may be on separate paths and may have distinctly different life goals, but they still have much in common. Many women even fulfill both these roles and many more. All women, no matter their path, race, culture or creed share a common thread, their sexuality.
Despite all of our advances we are just recently empowering sexuality for women. Women are still fighting the battle that a sexualized woman is a negative thing. However, many women are taking up the charge and claiming their sexuality as their own. One of the many ways this is being done is by the Burlesque community. We Burlesque Ladies are taking the art of stripping a step back in time and putting a futuristic spin on it. Speaking for my peers and I, performing burlesque has opened a whole new aspect of confidence and happiness. By embracing my sexuality and revealing my skin, I have revealed a hidden layer within myself. I have found the Goddess within. Every night when I step on to the stage I leave behind my mortal shell with all of its flaws and become the Goddess. I am Aphrodite. I am Bast. I am the Goddess and so is every woman.
