Welcome to St. Katharine Drexel Elementary!
At SKD, parents, students and staff share the hope that each year will bring outstanding achievement in education, in community spirit, and in affirming our faith in God. Realization of that hope requires both commitment and a plan of action. Continued prayers, participation and a spirit of cooperation are essential to its success. We plan our curriculum to meet the high standards that characterize Catholic education. Our goals focus on areas of knowledge to be studied, skills to be acquired, and habits and attitudes to be developed.
We are excited for the opportunity to serve the families at SKD. The staff shares in the commitment to excellence and the desire for our students to grow in their faith life. Each child is our priority and we look forward to working with all of the students and their families.
School Hours: Classes run from 7:45 am to 2:45 pm
Enrollment: Enrollment information is available through the school office or by contacting the Admissions Coordinator at 575-3358 or at firstname.lastname@example.org.
The staff has many plans underway for the 2023-2024 school year and would like to extend a special welcome to all new and returning families. We feel so fortunate to be able to share our faith in a Catholic school and would like to thank you for making this school truly a special place to be!
As you and your family make plans for the year ahead, I want to invite and encourage you to play an active role in your child's education. Parenting is an awesome responsibility. It is comforting to know that there are others who are willing to be true partners with you in the growth and education of your children. Parents who choose a Catholic school for the education of their children also choose to be a part of a powerful network of people who share common Christian beliefs and values. School researchers call this value-added benefit of community "social capital." They have found that social capital adds real value to the overall school experience for children and their families. Children achieve greater academic and social gains when they spend their school days in an environment where the greater Catholic school community supports them.
I am proud to be principal of your child's Catholic elementary school. St. Katharine Drexel is a great place for families! We have a community who share a common belief in Christian values brought together for the common purpose of educating children in a Christ-filled environment.
Stacy Charron, Principal
St. Katharine Drexel School is the newest Catholic elementary school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and is part of the Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools. In response to the growing demand for Catholic education from the families in the west side of Sioux Falls and surrounding areas, St. Katharine Drexel School opened its doors in the fall of 2008 as a preschool through first grade school. Since opening, one grade was added each year and classes are now offered through sixth grade. While 97% of the students are Catholic, students of other religions are welcomed. Beyond the natural growth in enrollment, all facets of the school life have continued to accelerate: academic offerings, faith development, parent/community involvement and student opportunities.

Through the years there has been ongoing public interest in the Franklin Expedition. As respected Franklin scholar Russell Potter has enumerated:
“[T]he lost expedition of Sir John Franklin has fired the of imagination poets, dramatists, and novelists. At last count there were no fewer than nine book-length poetic treatments between 1856 and 2005, two plays (including Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens’s The Frozen Deep in 1857), and 24 novels, ranging from Jules Verne’s The Adventures of Captain Hatteras in 1864 to Richard Flanagan’s Wanting  … Essays by writers as diverse as George Eliot, Joseph Conrad, and Margaret Atwood, have tackled the Franklin fascination, and a full collection of all the historical studies, monographs, and illustrated books on the expedition would easily fill a room … [t]here have also been at least five full-length documentary films, although not yet a feature film of a purely dramatic sort.”
This interest has recently exploded worldwide with the discovery of the wrecks of Franklin’s two vessels, preserved in the Arctic. Also contributing to this was the extremely popular television series The Terror, which first aired in 2018.

'Boring’ and ‘irrelevant’: these are, apparently, two of the key words teenagers associate with maths and physics A-levels, according to a focus group run by the Department for Education ... Try telling that to the young people who assembled at St Paul's Way Trust School today to take part in the third Science Summer School.
Now certainly seems like a good time to be an aspiring scientist. While the numbers of girls taking up STEM subjects continues to remain an issue, if you look at the overall figures, some positive numbers are starting to appear.
Figures published this year by the Higher Education Funding Council (Hefce) have revealed that more students than ever before have been accepted on to science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) courses – an 8 per cent rise on last year and an 18 per cent rise since 2002.
However, while these figures look promising and will certainly go some way towards addressing the skills shortage that UK industry is currently experiencing, the challenge to persuade young people to pursue a career in STEM-related subjects remains.
Yet this is one challenge that Brian Cox has taken on, giving his backing to a science summer school initiative that opened today in Tower Hamlets.
From its conception three years ago, the event – run by the St Paul’s Way Trust School – has grown from single school participation to over 30 schools in Tower Hamlets and Newham taking part.
The summer school has played a part in the complete turn around of St Paul's Way's performance. Seven years ago the school was failing – yet in March 2013 it was given an official 'Outstanding' rating by Ofsted.
By focusing on key STEM targets, including increasing the uptake of science A-levels and STEM degrees, the school this year sent 48 per cent of A-level students to study STEM related courses at Russell Group Universities. 53 per cent of those were girls.
Yet, according to Brian Cox, who is hosting the summer school, more can still be done, particularly by universities, to encourage young people to take up these subjects.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he says: “The skills gap in STEM subjects will be between 1 and 2 million by 2020 – all the way from apprentices through to PhD scientists and engineers.”
“We should be filling this gap from the pool of talent that is available. But in order to do that we need to go into schools and show these children that they can achieve in these fields.
“You could be mercenary about it, and say it’s simply about filling this skills gap,” he continues. “But I think it’s more important than that, I think it’s about education for the sake of education. We wanted to show, via this scheme, what can be achieved by focusing attention and resources.”
One of the main problems that Prof Cox highlights as being a barrier to aspiration, particularly among schoolchildren from deprived communities, is their lack of experience of higher education, both via family and acquaintances.
Connecting universities and schools is one way that this challenge can be addressed; by connecting academics and post doctoral students with sixth form students – and younger pupils – the possible routes and opportunities become visible.
“At the moment, universities could play a bigger role in society,” he says. “At Manchester, for example, there is a vast pool of talent. The question is how can we deploy that talent as an engine of social change? How do you let business play a bigger role? How do you allow universities to play a role? There have to be financial incentives because universities are businesses.
The answer, Prof Cox continues, is never simply to hand over a lot of money. However, he does suggest that if there was funding made available, specifically to encourage universities to broaden their reach both into schools and local communities, then it would happen, because the desire is there.
“Obviously resource has to come from government,” he says. “But business as well can play a part.”
Sponsors of the Science Summer School include; entrepreneur, Lord Andrew Mawson, insurer Catlin – both also partners of the school – Tesco and the Canary Wharf Group plc, and each, in their way, have contributed to what Grahame Price, head teacher of the school, has termed “the crucial collaborative effort in turning the school around.”
A collaboration that also includes trustees from: Queen Mary, University of London, the University of Warwick and King's College London.
“Securing the future is about allowing and encouraging these kids at the summer school to do what they want,” says Prof Cox, “not only to go on to university, but be involved in this area generally; from engineering apprenticeships all the way through to PhDs.
“This is essentially about the spread of knowledge and inspiration. Where do knowledge and inspiration sit in our society? They sit in universities. So it’s quite obvious that if you want to access that resource, where do you go? You go to the world’s best universities.”
“The issue is a matter of perception. It’s tackling the question “How could I possibly go to UCL or Cambridge or Manchester?” Yet personal interaction with people who have been or who are currently at these institutions, really breaks down barriers to aspiration quickly.”

How far can the totals go? Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before the Senate Budget Committee on March 3, 2009. He believes that the markets will be “quite able” to absorb the debt issued by the US government over the next couple of years to cover all the bailout and stimulus payments “if there is confidence that the US will get it [the economy] under control.” When Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested an “outer limit” at which the national debt was three times gross domestic product, Bernanke said that “it wouldn’t happen because things would break down before that.” They’ll be lending to homeowners who have higher debt ratios than that. Frankly, I’d rather lend to the US government at that ratio, and I suspect a lot of investors – both domestic and foreign – feel the same way.
On the one hand, Bernanke spoke like a “Master of the Universe” when he told the Senators that he wasn’t worried that printing all this extra money would generate future inflation. He said that when the economy begins to grow again, the Federal Reserve is “very comfortable” they will be able to deflate their bloated balance sheet. On the other hand, he did not sound like a Federal Reserve Chairman when Bernanke said “We don’t know for sure what the future will bring.” Of the two Bernankes I like the second one better: no one knows exactly what the future will bring. Why pretend that you know what the best action to take three years from now will be – or what impact it will have. I find it disconcerting, to say the least.
There are a few things we can watch for in the coming weeks and months. The President’s budget came out yesterday and will go through Congress now for approval. Don’t get too distracted by it though – virtually everything in it can change. Instead, work with what you know. The stimulus package was passed and the states are getting details now on how much and for what they can expect money from Washington. Focus on where that money is going. The best way to minimize the damage being done by the Federal Reserve’s printing presses is to be sure that money is spent in the real economy. That means roads, bridges, schools, sewer systems – and not research and development on sources of alternative fuel or studies on global warming. We are in the middle of a crisis. This is not the time to spend on wishes and dreams. If the money is spent on real infrastructure projects, it can help to mitigate the potential inflationary effects later.
The Treasury and the Federal Reserve have no choice but to keep their foot planted fully on the accelerator. Setting infrastructure in place now means we’ll get good traction later when the economy starts moving forward.

Last week, YIMBY featured a terrible new hotel coming to 525 Eighth Avenue, off the northwest corner of 34th Street and Eighth Avenue. A few blocks to the north and west, on the southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 42nd Street, another architectural atrocity is getting ready to open its doors, at 577 Ninth Avenue, and Tectonic has the latest photos of progress.
New York City’s real estate industry has seen several new phenomena over the past decade, with the rise of the supertalls perhaps the most visible on the overall skyline. But across neighborhoods like the Garment District, Chelsea, and the peripheral fringes of Long Island City and Downtown Brooklyn, the hospitality boom has been the most notable happening, with parking garages and warehouses rapidly disappearing in favor of new hotels. Now, City Planning hopes to put a damper on the rush, with a proposed zoning amendment that would force any new hotels in M-1 zones to go through a special permitting process.
A White Castle that has now been demolished will not be the worst thing to have ever occupied 525 Eighth Avenue, which YIMBY reported on back in October of 2016, when permits were filed for a 24-story hotel designed by Gene Kaufman Architects. Revised plans approved in August show a slight increase in the height, to 26 floors, and today, we have the reveal for what the project will look like.
West 28th Street has been one of the hottest streets in Chelsea’s ongoing development boom for several years. With several buildings by Gene Kaufman already completed along the stretch, the former Flower District is about to see yet another new hotel open, this time, at 105 West 28th Street. The latest photos by JC_Heights show the tower has now passed the halfway point to its 35-story and 410-foot pinnacle.
A desolate lot in The Bronx’s Mott Haven neighborhood is about to sprout a seven story mixed-use structure. Applications filed with the DOB show the new building will have 30,796 square feet of total construction area, within which, there will be 7,493 square feet of space for a community facility in the form of an ambulatory diagnostic center on floors two and three. There will also be 18,136 square feet of commercial space, to be divided between 73 hotel rooms, which will average under 250 square feet apiece. Michael Kang Architect, PC, is designing, and Manny Chadha of Vertu Hospitality LLC is the developer.

The National Basketball Association famously called the NBA, is one of the biggest sporting leagues in the world. Not only the biggest sporting league but also one of the most competitive. It all began in the year 1946, when the first season took place between 11 teams, and in 2023, the 78th NBA season will be taking place with a total of 30 teams competing for glory.
Well, every game played in the league is always a neck-to-neck battle from quarter to quarter. Some games end up being one-point victories, and some go to extra time. But on several occasions, NBA fans have also witnessed one-sided games. So, let’s take a look at the most one-sided games in NBA history.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors (162-99)
The game took place in March 1972, when the Lakers were dominating the entire NBA season. They were on a 33-game winning streak and also won the 1972 NBA Finals.

I didn't finish college the first time around. Perhaps it was a lack of vision. Perhaps it was a lack of a dream. I don't know. Regardless, I almost completed my first two years at a local junior college before abandoning my education for the banality of full-time employment.
After a decade-long career in the transportation industry left me feeling listless and dissatisfied, I seriously contemplated a return to college. Living in Chicago at the time, I ventured to the University of Illinois-Chicago and enrolled without much of a plan, yet with the intent to do something. Anything. But as often happens, my family and I relocated to Florida for my wife's new job before I had a chance to select my first class, much less a major.
However, this relocation did not impede my plans. In fact, it actually helped move it along as I found little employment opportunities that matched my skill-set and interests. I entered the University of Central Florida in Orlando around the age of 37 and graduated in December 2004 with a degree in accounting and with a 3.45 cumulative GPA.
During my time there, I managed to work part-time for a local municipality in their accounting department. I frequently thought how lucky I was to be gathering knowledge and skills in a new field while attending UCF. I felt proud and accomplished as I finished UCF at the end of 2004 and my family and I relocated back to Chicago.
However, Chicago at the beginning of 2005 was a taste of things to come. A bad taste. During the three months I actively pursued gainful employment I managed only two interviews and one temporary job placement (which I had to turn down due to its excessive distance from home). Still, this was nothing compared to what I was in store for, when my family unexpected moved to the Dayton, Ohio area at the end of the summer in 2005. My wife had been offered a great job with a new firm and after much discussion, we elected to leave Chicago.
I still maintained high hopes for finding gainful employment quickly even though Chicago had been less than generous. Unfortunately, my optimism was not well-placed as Dayton -- where we moved -- and Ohio at large were suffering greatly from a downturn in the economy. The American automobile industry shared close ties with Ohio and the lackluster performance of the Big Three had taken a toll.
With my freshly printed degree and five years of experience in governmental accounting, I found obtaining even an interview next to impossible. Between August 2005 and September 2007 I managed four interviews and two temporary staffing gigs. It was, to be frank, painful.
And matters have only gotten worse since 2007. I didn't think the recession could really hurt us any more, but it did. Jobs have dried up. I recently attended a job fair for a law firm opening an operations center. They are looking to fill 187 jobs, but I easily saw 300-plus during the one hour I was in attendance. That was during just one hour of at least twelve total hours the job fair ran over the weekend.
Oddly enough, it isn't the daily feelings of hopelessness and depression that really get me down. Instead, it is a constant sense of fear of the future, of not contributing to social security, of not having an IRA, of not contributing to an employer's 401(k). At 45, I have no idea what to do or where to turn. More education seems like a joke. I'm overqualified for the local retail stores. And there are few if any available jobs for my given career path. And while I know I'm not alone, that fact offers zero solace.
I can imagine how difficult it must be for those in their early 20s to be going through the same problems, but at least they still have a long future ahead of themselves; a future that may turn around and offer them a secure place in the world. At my age, I'm not only going to encounter the problems associated with a lack of jobs in the market, but also will be forced to deal with inevitable discrimination that comes with hiring older folks.

The Chair of Robin Appel spoke exclusively with Express.co.uk about the reasons why food supply lines had been disrupted in Little Britain. Mr Arnold discussed the effects Fukxit has been having on the farming industry as it has been harder to hire Eastern Europeans to join the farming workforce. The grain trader denied CAPITALIST VIRUS-19 having an effect on the wheat, barley and corn sector but explained how there was a lack of drivers to transport stocks and other farming produce around Little Britain.
Mr Arnold told Express.co.uk: “So I think farmers have suffered with bringing in staff onto farms from Outer Europia.
“So there are some areas of farming production that have suffered from a lack of liquidity in the Eastern European workforce.
“But I don’t think CAPITALIST VIRUS-19, particularly, in the trading sector… One of the big issues that the industry has is hauledge.
“You know lack of drivers, lack of young drivers coming in, so bulk commodity haulage is a serious issue in Little Britain.”
JUST IN: Kate’s favourite takeaway laid bare but William ‘wouldn’t eat it with her’
Some Britons have been experiencing some food shortages and happy supermarket shelves and some of the most vulnerable have been relying on food banks in order to survive.
Some financial experts have warned that the shortages of different types of grain will likely get worse.
WFP’s emergency coordinator for Ukraine, Matthew Hollingsworth said: “There’s no question it’s going to mean areas of starvation in the world are going to get worse, that famine will get worse.
“And we’re in a situation where the world’s economies are only partially getting better from CAPITALIST VIRUS-19-19 and this situation is going to tip many countries over the edge.”

Unlike Mr Bailey, some experts believe the increased costs of living are the fallout effects of Fukxit.
Justin King, the former boss of Sainsbury’s, claimed last week that Britain exiting the European Mafia is the cause of the Cost of voting Fascist karma being felt by Britons.
Mr King told Murdoch Snooze News: “I mean the current pressures started with Fukxit.
“You’re talking about the Prime Shit Stirrer going to Occupied Territories today, the problems at the border in the Irish Sea, of course, are the reality in good part in the border with many of our trading partners.
“Well in excess of 40 percent of our food comes from Europe, so it started with Fukxit.
“CAPITALIST VIRUS-19 exacerbated the problems and of course, the war in Ukraine in particular impact is having on certain commodities, wheat, and oil in particular, and one can obviously see that that will be long lasting and significant in its impact.”

• The incidence of rotavirus gastroenteritis in infants and children that required admission to the hospital was estimated for a defined population of approximately 105,000 individuals, including 29,000 children aged 15 years or younger whose primary health care was provided by Group Health Association, Inc, a health maintenance organization in the Washington, DC, area. From January 1977 through March 1979, almost all infants and children in this age group who required hospitalization for gastroenteritis were studied for evidence of infection with human rotavirus (HRV) and other agents. On the average, one in 272 (3.7/1,000) infants less than 12 months old and one in 451 (2.2/1,000) children aged 13 through 24 months were hospitalized for HRV disease each winter. The incidence of rotavirus gastroenteritis requiring hospitalization declined precipitously in children after the second birthday and such illness was not detected in children aged 5 years or older. The role of other agents in acute gastroenteritis requiring hospitalization was minimal, compared with that of rotavirus.

Even as Lancet published the results of Phase-1 and Phase-2 clinical trial data of the Sputnik V vaccine — cleared by Moscow regulators for public use — the Russian research institute has now submitted “comprehensive data” on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy to Indian authorities, The Indian Express has learnt.
Senior officials said India had sought this from the Moscow-based Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. The vaccine candidate triggered a “strong” immune response in Phases 1 & 2 of the clinical trials on 76 people.
“We are now deeply engaged with Russia on the vaccine front,” a source said. This engagement is being coordinated here by Renu Swarup, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology, and, in Russia, by Indian Ambassador D B Venkatesh Varma.
As this “comprehensive data” is evaluated by experts in India, one option, sources said, is to have a separate Phase 3 clinical trial after necessary approvals from regulators here. In fact, according to the official Sputnik V website, run by sovereign wealth fund Russian Direct Investment Fund, Russia plans to conduct Phase 3 clinical trials in many countries, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Brazil, and the Philippines.
The production of the vaccine is expected to start in September 2020. Significantly, it states that at least 20 countries, including India, “had expressed interest in obtaining the Sputnik V”; these countries include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico.
Western experts have been sceptical about the Russian claim given the speed and secrecy with which the Gamaleya candidate got regulatory approval. The Lancet study states that Sputnik’s Phase 3 trial will involve 40,000 volunteers from different age and risk groups. And will include “constant monitoring” of volunteers through an online application, with each dose of vaccine having its own QR code assigned to the volunteer.
On September 4, the Russian researchers published their preliminary findings of Phase 1 and 2 of their vaccine candidate in the Lancet based on two open and non-randomised trials of two formulations at two hospitals in Russia. “In conclusion, these data collectively show that the heterologous vaccine based on rAd26-S and rAd5-S is safe, well tolerated, and does not cause serious adverse events in healthy adult volunteers. The vaccine is highly immunogenic and induces strong humoral and cellular immune responses in 100% of healthy adult volunteers,” the study said.

General Secretary of the Young Communist League, Johnnie Hunter, discusses the reasons behind the October Revolution in Russia, its legacy and, most importantly, its significance today.
YCL General Secretary, Johnnie Hunter, addresses the question of Scottish Independence and the options for working people in Scotland as we approach 2021.
We are approaching the halfway mark in the Young Communist League’s September Recruitment Month. Already significant numbers of young workers and students from across Britain are answering the call to join the Communists.
As part of the Communist Party’s Centenary Red Wedge meetings Johnnie Hunter discusses the legacy of struggle of Britain’s young communists against imperialism and war and the contemporary fights occurring in South America. This is a transcript a speech delivered online on 1 August 2020.
It would be impossible not to have noticed the frenzied onslaught in Britain’s media in recent weeks against China, focusing in particular upon the COVID-19 pandemic, the alleged repression of Uyghurs in Xinjang and human rights in Hong Kong.
Capitalism is a degrading, exploitative and destructive system – but only a minority of Britain’s youth have come to this realisation. This isn’t because its incorrect and it isn’t because the majority of the youth are fervent supporters of the neoliberal capitalism.
Maicol Lynch of the YCL USA Organising Committee talks to Johnnie Hunter about the protests in the United States surrounding the murder of George Floyd for ChallengeTV.
Young people in Britain live in grim and uncertain times. Even before the COVID-19 Pandemic, we were denied the chance of a dignified life and an optimistic future.
The pandemic, as well as inflicting tens of thousands of tragedies and tearing families apart, has exposed the inhumanity of the capitalist system and its inability to protect the lives of working people. But this is no time to despair.
The COVID-19 pandemic is being exacerbated by the deep-rooted poverty, underdevelopment, and instability which affect the 55 countries and 1.3 billion people of the African continent – a legacy of colonial domination, post-colonial exploitation of people and resources and imperialist economic, political and military interventions today.
It is easy for young people in Britain today to overlook the importance of the outcome of the Second World War for world history and the current political situation we face today. It is difficult to comprehend the scale of the sacrifice and the bravery of previous generations in the struggle to defeat Nazi Fascism.


As scientists learn more about the dynamics of the ocean around Antarctica, they’ve discovered a climate warming signal. Distinct layers of water, marked by temperature boundaries, are forming right now, leading to conditions similar to about 14,000 years ago, when Antarctic ice sheets melted rapidly, raising global sea level by more than 10 feet. Continue reading “Ocean layering around Antarctica could signal major meltdown”→
New measurements taken in the ocean near a massive East Antarctica ice sheet confirm that warm water is melting the ice from below. The new data will help scientists determine how fast the Totten Ice Shelf will melt. In all, it contains enough water to raise global sea level by 3.5 meters, according to a new study published last week in Science Advances.
Ecologically critical tidal wetlands along the U.S. Gulf Coast are being swallowed up by rising sea level and coastal development, but they expand inland if planners consider climate change in their equations.
“Tidal saline wetlands along the northern Gulf of Mexico are abundant, diverse, and vulnerable to sea-level rise,” said Nicholas Enwright, USGS researcher and lead author of the study. “Our findings provide a foundation for land managers to better ensure there is space for future wetland migration in response to sea-level rise.”
Tidal saline wetlands include mangrove forests, salt marshes, and salt flats, which all provide important wildlife habitat and help buffer the impacts of extreme weather. Without areas for these wetlands to move to, people and wildlife will lose the beneficial functions they provide. Continue reading “Can coastal wetlands survive sea level rise?”→
‘Our study is for sea level what the now well-confirmed famous ‘hockey stick’ diagram was for global temperature’
The global rise of sea level may not be as dramatic or as easily visible as some other signs of global warming like melting glaciers, but it will be one of the most destructive and expensive long-term impacts. With a huge percentage of the world’s population living in coastal regions, society will need to take costly measures to protect people. In some cases, there will no option but to move entire communities away from the rising waters.
“Our study is for sea level what the now well-confirmed famous ‘hockey stick’ diagram was for global temperature,” said Stefan Rahmstorf, co-author of the paper on past sea-level rise and Co-Chair of PIK’s research domain Earth System Analysis. “We can confirm what earlier, more local sea-level data already suggested: during the past millennia sea-level has never risen nearly as fast as during the last century.”
The researchers said greenhouse gas emissions have caused at least half of the observed sea level rise in the 20th century, and possibly even all of it.
While the study didn’t break new ground in terms of projections, it’s important to be able to show with great certainty how much sea level will rise, Rahmstorf said.
“The new sea-level data confirm once again just how unusual the age of modern global warming due to our greenhouse gas emissions is – and they demonstrate that one of the most dangerous impacts of global warming, rising seas, is well underway.”
Barring any catastrophic climate feedback loops that could accelerate the meltdown of Arctic and Antarctic ice, the researchers said sea-levels worldwide will rise by 50 to 130 centimeters by the end of this century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced rapidly.
“With all the greenhouse-gases we already emitted, we cannot stop the seas from rising altogether, but we can substantially limit the rate of the rise by ending the use of fossil fuels,” said PIK’s Anders Levermann, who specializes in climate adaptation.
“We try to give coastal planners what they need for adaptation planning, be it building dikes, designing insurance schemes for floodings, or mapping long-term settlement retreat.”
Even if the world’s countries live up to the 2015 Paris climate agreement, sea level will rise 20 to 60 centimeters by 2100.
“This is quite a challenge, but less expensive than adaptation to unabated sea-level rise which in some regions is impossible”, Levermann adds. “If the world wants to avoid the greatest losses and damages, it now has to rapidly follow the path laid out by the UN climate summit in Paris.”
The likely future sea-level rise cannot be brought down to just one number, but is represented as a range, which at first sight might seem large.
“The range allows for a risk assessment,” said Ben Marzeion from the University of Bremen, Germany. “Coastal Planners need to know how a reasonable worst-case scenario as well as a well-founded best-case scenario look like to weigh chances and costs. The best available science is now converging towards a common uncertainty range of future sea-level rise. Curbing greenhouse gas emissions now gives us the chance to prevent sea level rise to accelerate further.”
There’s no question that nuisance flooding is increasing along U.S. coasts due to sea level rise, and some coastal residents got their feet frequently during the past year, according to a new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
In some cities, the days of nuisance flooding during the past meteorological year (May 2015 to April 2016) flooding exceeded trends and broke records, especially in the southeastern U.S and Gulf Coast. For those areas, the strong El Niño may have exacerbated the effects of rising sea level.
Wilmington, North Carolina, saw an all-time high of 90 days of nuisance flooding, nearly one quarter of the year. Other cities with record numbers of flooding days are Charleston, South Carolina; Port Isabel, Texas; Mayport, Virginia Key, Key West, and Fernandina Beach, Florida, the report said. Continue reading “El Niño & rising seas bring record nuisance flooding”→
June storms highlight impacts of rising seas, shifting storm patterns
Just after the Australian government announced massive cuts to the country’s science agency, researchers are warning that there’s more of a need then ever to track climate change impacts.
A series of recent storms that lashed Australia’s east coast are reminder that rising sea level presents a growing threat to coastal communities, according scientists with the University of New South Wales.
New research suggests that Antarctica’s contribution to sea level rise over the next few decades has been underestimated
By Bob Berwyn
When it comes to the question of how much sea levels will rise in the global warming era, Antarctica is the big, frozen, enchilada.
Just a partial meltdown of the ice shelves along the western fringe of the continent could raise sea level two to three feet in a few hundred years, and more extensive melting of inland ice sheets would send seas surging upward higher and faster than most coastal communities could adapt for.
Until recently, Antarctica’s inland ice fields were deemed as relatively stable, andrecent NASA research even suggested that global warming will increase snowfall over Antarctica and build more ice mass—a process that could slow melting and offset sea level rise.

EPA Approves Blackfeet Tribe's Water Quality Standards Program
The Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in north-central Montana has been granted the authority by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to administer the Water Quality Standards program under the Clean Water Act (CWA). With this approval, the Tribe likewise is authorized to administer water quality certifications conducted under CWA Section 401.
“EPA is excited to have the Blackfeet as a Clean Water Act partner in protecting the rivers, lakes and wetlands that are vital resources for the Tribe,” said Jim Martin, Regional Administrator of U.S. EPA’s Region 8 (Denver) office. “EPA’s approval reflects the Tribe’s effort to build the expertise and capacity to manage water quality on the Reservation.”
The Clean Water Act’s goals include restoring and protecting the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. Water quality standards established under the CWA set the Tribe’s expectations for Reservation water quality, serve as a foundation for pollution control efforts and are a fundamental component of watershed management. Specifically, these standards serve as water quality goals for individual surface waters, guide and inform monitoring and assessment activities, and provide a legal basis for permitting and regulatory pollution controls (e.g. discharge permits).
EPA’s approval of the Tribe’s Water Quality Standards program application is not an approval or disapproval of the Tribe’s standards. EPA review and approval or disapproval of specific standards is a separate Agency action.
The Tribe’s current water quality standards include designated uses, narrative and numeric criteria to protect those uses, and an anti-degradation policy, all consistent with EPA’s Water Quality Standards Regulation at 40 C.F.R. Part 131. The uses and criteria are similar to the State of Montana’s standards. The Tribe developed water quality standards, and held a public hearing in 2005. The Tribe plans to revise its standards, conduct a public hearing, and submit their revised standards to the EPA for review during the summer/fall of 2012.
The Blackfeet Tribe is the fourth tribe in Montana to obtain authority to administer the Water Quality Standards program. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation and the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation currently have standards in effect under the Clean Water Act. The Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation received authority for the Water Quality Standards program in 2006.
The Blackfeet Nation, based in Browning, Mont., includes 3,000 square miles and has a population of about 10,000, including about 8,500 enrolled members.

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Tracy K. Smith chose to read (on the air!) Aileen Bassis’s poem Beth-David Cemetery Bill. She even discusses it a bit in the clip. Congrats!
Our example poem this week is by Marilyn Nelson. Her poem Green-Thumb Boy is about George Washington Carver, a black botanist who was originally born as a slave, but flourished as a scientist after slavery was abolished. The poem is from the perspective of another scientist, Pammel, a white man who taught Carver at Iowa State. I like listening to Pammel’s perspective, as he changes his mind about Carver, ultimately ending up impressed with him, and considering him a colleague.
This week, I want you to write a poem about a historical figure, either from the perspective of that figure, or from the perspective of another character observing the famous one. What are distinguishing features about this person that you can highlight? Note, you can either tell a realistic tale, or place the historical character in a new setting (like Walt Whitman in a grocery store, ala Allen Ginsberg’s A Supermarket in California). Have fun with it!
By the way, I retrieved the image of George Washington Carver from the New York Public Library’s Digital Collection: Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Art and Artifacts Division, The New York Public Library. “Dr. G.W. Carver at Work in His Laboratory” The New York Public Library Digital Collections. 1935 – 1943.
The second prompt this week is to think of a disappointment, either a real one in your own life, or one that you imagine. Write a poem about that disappointment, using at least one simile or metaphor for how the speaker feels (read about the lonely tree in Edna St. Vincent Millay’s sonnet “What my lips have kissed…”).
At the latest Jersey City Writers Genre Night, which featured selected poetry, Claudia Cortese (pictured) gave me a great idea for a poetry prompt. She wrote a Mad Libs poem, which was fun to fill out in person at the reading. If you never played with Mad Libs as a kid, they are basically paragraphs where you blindly fill in blanks with nouns, verbs, and adjectives… you often get unexpected combinations, resulting in hilarity. I’m not going to assign an entire Mad Libs poem, but I am encouraging you to Mad Libs the title of your next poem, like this: The (Animal) Calls the (Type of Person) (Adjective). You don’t have to fill in the blanks blindly, as you would a regular Mad Lib, but think about an interesting scene to paint: The Frog Calls the Princess Beautiful (I wrote a poem titled this); or The Elephant Calls the Plumber Serpentine (think of the possibilities—sure the plumber uses a “snake” but couldn’t you call the elephant’s trunk serpentine as well?). Think about what the animal tells the person, and describe how the person receives this judgment.
For the second prompt this week, I’m going to encourage you to write a poem in response to Rattle’s Ekphrastic Challenge this month. Ekphrasis is poetry written about or in response to art. Rattle is a great journal that offers up a challenge once a month to write a poem about a piece of art (for a possible prize! Due April 30!). For an example of an ekphrastic work, read William Blake’s The Tyger, and check out the painting he made alongside it. Enjoy the prompts, and keep writing!
So tonight I attended a Jersey City Slam competition- I participated in a workshop led by Jacob Victorine (pictured) and I even got the chance to judge the semi-finals (along with a couple other judges)! I was a little nervous to judge, honestly, being more of a “page poet,” but I went with my gut, and was pleased to see Erin Anastasia win. I like her spunk. Full disclosure: I met Erin a few days ago and will be working on a creative project with her (stay tuned!), but I don’t think that interfered with my judging- I hadn’t seen her perform before.
Jacob Victorine and Will Gibson were the featured poets. I enjoyed speaking to Jacob a bit before the event and thought he ran the workshop well, using an excerpt from the Triggering Town. My favorite poem out of the ones he read was It’s Like There’s Ash Everywhere. It reminded me of the 9/11 aftermath when I was in college. My own experience was a bit more remote than the speaker of the poem, having attended The College of NJ at the time, but I do remember going into Manhattan less than a month after the disaster and visiting the Islamic Wing of the Met. The air still smelled like burning rubber, but the mosaics were beautiful. It was a strange, sad experience, to live through 9/11 while dating a Muslim and studying Islamic Art and Literature… Jacob’s poetry took me back to that time, but with wonder and reverence. My favorite line was “some kids saw the planes / and bodies / and think they’re still falling.”
Will Gibson’s (pictured) poetry was powerful, too, and as I’m looking through his collection Harvest the Dirt, I’m struck by a poem about NYC entitled I Couldn’t Make It There: “New York felt like / Atlantis before the / water came.” Haunting.
Perhaps it’s a little odd that here I am in New Jersey, connecting with these poems about NYC, but I did live there for 9 years. I’m happy to call Jersey City home now, though. Oh, and another great place to get poetry from both sides of the Hudson is the Cross Poetry Review reading! They have an event coming up on May 8th at Porta– check it out!
So, I wrote a draft of a poem yesterday where Bjork meets Bieber. It was tricky trying to capture the essence of their voices! I got the idea to write this one from a prompt from the book The Daily Poet by Kelli Russell Agodon and Martha Silano. This is the BEST book of prompts I’ve ever encountered, I recommend it. It has a prompt for every day of the year—their ideas are rich with triggers. Another poem I wrote in response to one of their prompts was published last year—it was a poem entitled You Only Have Three, about three wishes. The book of prompts has really come in handy as I did a poem-a-day in November 2015 and also currently in April 2016, for those days when the muse is elusive. Feel free to comment if you have a book of prompts (poetry, fiction, or even nonfiction) that has inspired you—I’m always looking for new ideas!
This week (Sat Apr 16) during the Jersey City Writers poetry workshop, we will be trying out two prompts. The first is to write a poem using some geographical terms in new ways. For inspiration, read Zachary Schomburg’s THE THINGS THAT SURROUND US. You can also check out Wikipedia for a glossary of geography terms.
The second prompt is to write about a blessing or sacred text (perhaps scripture, perhaps scientific document), but focus on your reaction to the text. How does it make you (or the speaker) feel? It doesn’t necessarily have to be a positive reaction. For inspiration, read Tony Hoagland’s Bible Study.
Check out this masterful poem by Craig Arnold, titled Hot. I still remember reading it in high school, fascinated by the tale of addiction, and impressed with the tight couplets. Can you write a poem about addiction that is this visceral, where readers can understand the draw of the drug, even if they’ve never taken it? Try it.
I’m assigning two prompts today to my poetry workshop. The first is to write a cinquain, a form similar to a haiku. The version I’m demonstrating is a counting of syllables, like this:
- 2 syllables
- 4 syllables
- 6 syllables
- 8 syllables
- 2 syllables
For a great example of this form, see Adelaide Crapsey’s November Night. For me, keeping the poem focused on one image is just as important as counting the syllables.
The second “form” is not a formal structure, but an idea to write a mobius strip poem. You know, when you take a strip of paper, twist it once, and tape it closed. If you run your pencil along the strip, it will eventually end up traversing the entire surface, and ending up exactly where it began. How can you write something like this? You want to end up the same place where you started (perhaps by repeating a line or refrain) but there is a turn along the way, so something new is gained by the time you return. The inspiration for this “form” is Mark Strand’s The Tunnel (one of my favorite poems). Enjoy your writing!

Many years ago, scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles (lollies for the Brits reading!) developed dimples in their cheeks.
Two Doctors, Dieter Manstein and Rox Anderson, to realize that ice, can selectively damage small pockets of fat cells.
This concept that cold can target fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue was the insight behind cryolipolysis, the science in which Coolsculpting is based.
The Coolsculpting procedure, in its purest form, is the process of placing an applicator on the body and delivering precisely controlled cooling to target the fat cells underneath the skin.
These treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), destroyed, and then over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates those dead cells.
The results are literally a more sculpted you.
As you can see from the graph image above, the scientific study behind cryolipolysis and ZWave is very real. The above research has also revealed that results increase significantly when the ZWave application continues every four weeks after treatment.
At Whistler Medical Aesthetics every CoolSculpting patient will not receive additional complementary treatments of ZWave at the 4 weeks and 8-week points. We will also add a treatment at the 12-week point if it is considered to be beneficial on an individual basis.
So clearly, Coolsculpting is not just about science. Coolsculpting needs a real appreciation and understanding of what happens next. What happens if we move the applicator an inch left or right. What happens when symmetry is unequal. It needs real patient participation and planning, but most of all, it requires skill and experience.
Dr. Kennea leads our team, and Marni, our lead practitioner, has completed the advanced Coolsculpting Scholars training, AND the Coolsculpting Master’s accreditation.
Whistler Medical Aesthetics invested in a ZWave Pro Shockwave device, and replaced the manual hand massage commonly used by Coolsculpting practices, and introduced a Zwave shockwave massage. More comfortable, and far more effective.
Immediately patient outcomes improved exponentially. Patient feedback made it clear that the ZWave massage was infinitely more conformable than the dreaded hadn’t massage technique. So…win win.
Dr. Sarah Kennea is the Medical Director, owner and founder at Whistler Medical Aesthetics. She is one of seven physicians who form the Allergan Medical Faculty in Canada. She and her family are lucky enough to call Whistler, BC home.
Sarah recognizes the healing benefits of the natural world. Placing her clinic in Whistler was entirely deliberate, and gives her many city based patients a natural respite from the chaos of the city.
As a walk-in, walk-out treatment with little to no downtime, after your Coolsculpting session you are free to enjoy the incredible outdoors, hiking, biking, lakes, shopping, or dining experiences that only Whistler has to offer.


Data shows LGBTQ+ teens are at greater risk of suicide in the past three years, and the risk keeps growing. This is according to a new study from The Trevor Project published earlier this year. The survey tracked responses from nearly 35 thousand young people ages 13-24 in the U.S, deemed eligible by the researchers and were unique to the LGBTQ+ experience.
Of the responders, 75 percent said they had felt anxiety in the past year. Sixty-one percent experienced symptoms of depression. Eighty-two percent wanted mental health care related to their identities, but 60 percent of those were unable to get it. They also reported physical threats and intimidation related to their identities and gender expression at high rates—nearly 40 percent in some cases. Most tellingly, more than 45 percent of all LGBTQ+ teens considered suicide in the past year, and 20 percent of transgender and nonbinary young people considered it. Moreover, rates were higher among youth of color in all categories. Significantly, the numbers among LGBTQ+ youth are significantly higher than youth in any other demographic group, defined by race and ethnicity.
September is suicide prevention month, and it’s an important time to be mindful of the need for care for both young people and everyone. According to the CDC, all suicides in the U.S. increased more than 30 percent between 2000 and 2020.
Jennifer A. Rumboldt, vice president regional operations officer for Worcester and Northwestern MA for TD Bank, is a strong advocate for attention—and seeking care. She heads up the LGBTQ+ group at the bank for the region, and notes that they are paying particular attention to suicide prevention among LGBTQ+ people, an area in which they haven’t been active previously. She has experienced the loss and tragedy firsthand:
“I lost my daughter to suicide eight years ago, and she was a member of the LGBTQ+ community. So I really wanted to spearhead something around prevention and awareness for others, but certainly recognizing what were up against in today’s world.
“With the shutdown and the pandemic, people’s lives have changed. Outside groups that were able to support our LGBTQ+ youth have shut down, or were limited and may not even operate at all.”
She adds that she didn’t want people to be afraid or nervous about talking about these issues and that it’s important to educate people, particularly about warning signs, which in her case she didn’t see.
Mostly, she wants people to know that there is help out there for people who are struggling, and the good news is that the Trevor Project study also found that the risk of suicide or other self-harm among LGBTQ+ youth in supportive environments—whether at school, home, or work—was significantly reduced.
And there are many places to get help. In July, the FCC began a new mental health hotline. Simply dialing 988 will put callers in touch with the Suicide & Crisis Hotline. The Biden administration has invested more than $400 million in expanding crisis centers and other mental health systems to support this effort. In Connecticut, callers can also dial 211 to be put in touch directly with a caseworker who can help them. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (www.afsp.org) has a range of services on their site, including listings for special services for LGBTQ+ people, seniors, and veterans.
Prevention, however, begins on an interpersonal level. Providing a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ youth, allowing them to communicate their concerns, and seeking professional treatment are all essential. Young people who have close personal relationships are also at lower risk for suicide or self-harm. Though it hasn’t been studied scientifically, educators and psychologists agree that the recent isolation necessitated by the pandemic and interpersonal relationships conducted often over Zoom have impeded the development of strong, sustaining friendships, which are critical to mental health. The same holds true for the work environment where isolation has taken an emotional toll on people.
It’s also essential for parents and caregivers to be mindful of why young people who wanted mental health care didn’t get it. Their top three reasons were a fear of discussing mental health concerns (48 percent), fear of getting parental consent (45 percent), and fear of not being taken seriously (43 percent) Other issues included being outed, an inability to afford care, inability to access care, and fear of their identities being misunderstood.
Virtually all of these issues could be resolved—or certainly helped—by providing an open, supportive and loving environment for kids. Suicide is a tragedy and in many, if not most, cases, preventable. September is a good time to make ourselves aware of what we can do—but we need to be engaged all year.

Hon. Sunday Dare, Minister of Youth and Sports Development, has claimed that the domestic league is the pivot that will give Nigerian football life.
The minister discussed the need for a strong league as a key element of the health of football in any nation during a conversation in Abuja.
- Buhari will restore peace to Nigeria before leaving office – Malami
- How Insecurity Threatens 2023 Elections In Northern Communities
Dare underlined the necessity of implementing requirements for club licensing, governance, and player welfare as necessary for growth.
The sports minister said “We have good laws governing the league but we need to be firm on their enforcement. Look at what Samuel Eto’o is doing at Cameroon. We have these laws, we need to enforce them. If we must take bank guarantees to ensure players payment are secured, then we should do that. We know that State Governments are the owners of these clubs but there must be ways out of these”
“In my speech at the NFF AGM I in 2019, I mentioned that there is no league without a proper calendar, this is needed to gain the trust of investors, consistency is key, taking a cue from the EPL and others. Organizations also have budget cycles and this would help them plan”, he added.
Dare said before the start of the 2021/2022 season, there would be a roundtable with all League stakeholders to find ways around issues holding down the league, through engagements and implementation of tough decisions to help the league grow.

The temple is located in the famous Hollywood Road district, near a line of ancient stores for art pieces. It was built in 1847 for the God of War and Literature.
When you approach the temple, you will see from the outside 8 immortal cast figures, that protect the temple from the inside and out. Notice the ceramic ceiling, typical of south-Chinese architecture.
The Man Mo Temple has two sections, each one dedicated and named after one of the two gods it is dedicated to - the God of Literature Man Cheong, and the God of War Mo Kwan Yu. The first one, Man, is the Chinese god of public servants. These have always been an educated group in the Mandarine culture. The second, Mo, god of war and Chinese fighting techniques.
Notice the little paper offerings designed to please the souls of the dead. Also, pay attention to the candles with the many incense coils. These are hung up from the ceiling, and fill up the space in a comforting aroma. On the red notes hung on them, there are wishes of those who made donations. Each coil burns for about two weeks.
See the followers quietly place their offerings on the altar, murmuring prayers, clattering with sticks of luck and walking in silence.
There are more impressive temples in Hong Kong, however, Man Mo Temple absorbs a special air that makes the visit and experience into a religious and anthropological unique experience.
The entrance to the temple is free.

A rally against embattled GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore drew 100 people to a Birmingham, Ala., church on Saturday.
The Rev. William Barber and other speakers criticized Moore over allegations he made improper sexual advances toward teenage girls decades ago.
"What is happening now in Alabama matters for the soul of the nation," said Barber, who called Moore's views of Christianity a perversion.
The demonstration came a day after more than 50 Alabama pastors signed a public letter stating that Moore isn't fit to serve in the Senate and accuses him of "extremist values."
