A motion for a judicial inquiry into the SNC-Lavali allegations and to waive Jody Wilson-Raybould’s solicitor client privilege has been voted down by a Liberal majority.
The motion was defeated by a margin of 160-134.
The motion brought forward by the NDP recieved bi-partisan support from the opposition. If passed it would bring the SNC-Lavalin affair before the justice system and allow the former Justice Minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould to break her solicitor client-privelege and speak freely on her side of the story.
Jody Wilson-Raybould who was present for the vote, refused to participate.
Since the story broke, Wilson-Raybould has been tight-lipped on the allegations and has sought legal counsel on what she can or cannot say.
Only the Prime Minister has the power to waive the former Attorney General’s privilege.
Two Liberal MP’s Nate Erskine-Smith and Wayne Long voted with the opposition on the motion.

|Blanca, perched in her usual spot on |
an afternoon "walk"
Blanca is an older girl, six or so years old. Laid back and mellow, she likes to go for slow short walks and loves to lay outside and watch the world pass her by. Her and I often venture out of her kennel on a short walk to sit in the grass and nap or laze around and watch all the people and dogs walk by. Blanca will sit for hours if you'd let her, lazing the day away. When you try to take her back to the kennel, she puts on the brakes. This girl is stubborn. It's hard to reason with this big girl, but it can be done! With a bit of coaxing (usually involving food - she loves her treats), Blanca will rouse herself and reluctantly head back to her kennel.

Exclusive dating is https://bestmailorderbrides.net/dating-sites/amo-latina/ the best way to start a romance. It takes the majority of the uncertainty out of internet dating and permits couples have fun with the closeness of 1 another’s organization.

When it comes to choosing the right partner, exclusivity can be described as key element in getting the very best results. Throughout the initial periods, you should consult your partner about what bothers her or him, where the interconnection is going, and whether or not you happen to be satisfied. Eventually, you will want to take your relationship to a full-blown romance, but you ought to remember that really still just a going out with relationship not a marriage.
The last step in exclusive dating is to define your expectations and set ground rules for the partnership. You should acknowledge the terms before investing in an exclusive relationship. While you should make sure that both parties are at ease with each other, uniqueness is certainly not synonymous with monogamy. With regards to monogamous human relationships, exclusive dating is a precursor to genuine relationship status. Therefore , you will need to be clear with regards to your intentions and avoid simply being surprised after.
When you’re ready to begin dating, you must talk about the details of your relationship.

It is also not advised for lovers who have children. When it comes to the previous, a woman should always be the more requiring. It can bring about a bad marriage. A male’s exclusive partner should be able to make him be pleased with his spouse.
In general, the easiest way to avoid an exclusive relationship is to stay out of the spotlight. You should keep an eye on your own partner regardless if you’re in an exclusive relationship. It’s important to remain open-minded and be honest together with your partner. In terms of exclusive dating, you’ll probably need to admit on your partner that you are currently not willing to commit yet. This is the simply step to consider ahead of a serious relationship.

Red Lounge Bikes
Yes, there really is a red lounge. And yes there's really a disco ball and deer heads. And antique radios, traffic lights and guitars and red couches and chairs.
It's a sanctuary, it's asylum, it's tranquility.
It's quirky and idiosyncratic.
Maybe a little trite and clichéd too.
Furnished piece by piece over the course of years.
The fun is in the journey.
Genesis GX7 29er
We took one of those 7 speed cruisers and customized it.
A front derailler, shifter, and a Truvativ double crankset. Viola! 14 speeds!
The bike made to go through any terrain.
We lightened it up considerably.
The original crankset was steel, as was the stem and handlebars. So we swapped them out for much lighter alloy parts.
Lighrt seatpost, lighter brake upgrade.
If you want, it will even take a triple crank.
The old wheels... They looked great but even without the freewheel, they weighed 6 pounds each.
Yes, six pounds. Each. No kidding.
So we gave it Weinmann 700C rims and Critter tires. Less than half the weight of the old wheels but still bulletproof.
Much lighter, much faster.
And we left the fenders on because those are cool.
But it's a BIG bike.
If you're 6 feet or taller, no problem.
And of course, free blinkly LED rear light and bell!

The Final Logic of Sacrifice? Violence in German Prisoner of War Labor Companies in 1918
Jones, Heather, The Historian
UNTIL RECENTLY, the historiography of the First World War focused upon the intercombatant violence that occurred between opposing armed forces. Yet new work by historians has shown that the boundaries of violent practice between 1914 and 1918 were far more fluid than this dichotomous model can explain. Recent studies have revealed that significant combatant-civilian violence occurred during the conflict. (1) John Home and Alan Kramer's book German Atrocities, 1914: A History of Denial (2001) has highlighted the extent of military violence against civilians during the German invasion of France and Belgium in 1914; a theme revisited by Larry Zuckerman in The Rape of Belgium: The Untold Story of World War I (2004). (2) These studies have shed new light on the attitudes toward violence that existed within the German Army. Other recent publications have discussed violence, such as Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius's work, War Land on the Eastern Front: Culture, National Identity and German Occupation in World War One (2000), and the groundbreaking study by Isabel Hull, Absolute Destruction: Military Culture and the Practices of War in Imperial Germany (2005). (3) Historians have also begun to explore the role of intra-army violence such as that meted out by military courts which implemented corporal punishment to maintain discipline. (4)
However, within this new wave of historiography reassessing the nature and scope of military violence in 1914-1918, one type of violence has been overlooked--violence against prisoners of war. The First World War is not particularly known for the mistreatment of prisoners. Despite a recent upsurge in publications looking at prisoner labor in Germany, (5) violence against prisoners of war has received little scholarly attention, and the prisoner of war labor companies, developed by armies on the Western Front, have scarcely registered with historians. (6) One consequence of this neglect, as Isabel Hull has pointed out, is that "it is still uncertain how Germany's treatment of prisoners of war compares with that of other belligerents." (7) This lack of information is all the more surprising given the importance of prisoner labor for military logistics in the British, French, and German armed forces. The organization of a permanent prisoner labor system to the rear of the battlefield, which operated separately from prisoner of war camps on the home front, was an innovation common to all three belligerent armies by 1916. Prisoner labor companies built road and rail networks and loaded and unloaded military supplies. This breached prewar international law, which stipulated that prisoners of war could not be forced to work directly for their captor's war effort. (8)
These systems of prisoner labor reveal much about the military culture of each army and shed light on the extent to which violence was practiced within the army structure to maintain its functional capabilities on the battlefield. They also reveal different checks and balances, which, depending on the cultural attitudes toward violence against prisoners within an army, served as control mechanisms either to promote or to contain prisoner mistreatment. For example, all three armies restricted the prisoner of war labor company system to certain categories of captives. Only other rank prisoners, captured unwounded, were sent into labor companies. (9) Class remained a universal factor that determined whether or not a prisoner became a labor company worker.
This article will explore the prisoner of war labor system in the German Army during the last year of the war, focusing upon the treatment of British and French prisoner workers. The choice of 1918 is deliberate. The experience of the German Army during this year has been the subject of considerable recent historical research. The older debate about when German Army morale began to disintegrate, which was pioneered by Wilhelm Deist, has been rejuvenated by new discussions about how cultural attitudes toward violence and sacrifice within the army determined military decision making. …

The aim of this project is to develop a model for assessing the suitability of energy efficient retrofitting measures and their corresponding economic and environmental performance in the existing stock of office buildings. First of all, the existing stock of office buildings will be segmented according to their construction characteristics and their energy performance by means of the statistical analysis of more than 9,000 energy certificates issued in Catalonia since the entry into force of the Royal Decree 235/2013. For each identified segment, the number of required case studies will be determined according to their representativeness using data provided by the National Property Registration Office of the Spanish Ministry for the Treasury and Public Administration Services. Secondly, HULC (Lider Calener Unified Tool) energy performance certificates satisfying the requirements of each segment will be selected from the energy performance certificates database taking into account their accuracy and comprehensiveness. The energy performance of implementing several energy saving measures (individually or combined) in each case study will be simulated using the HULC software. Simultaneously, the corresponding economic and environmental performance will be assessed taking into account the whole life cycle of the energy saving measure(s). Finally, an integrated model for assessing the energy efficiency improvement of the existing stock of office buildings will be developed taking into account the energy, the economic and the environmental terms. Use cases and corresponding displaying strategies will be analysed, taking into account the stakeholders that may benefit from the model. Obtained results will be particularly useful for public organizations aimed to promote the energy efficiency of the built environment. The results of this project will allow guiding financial incentives for buildings retrofitting or adapting existing regulations to promote the energy efficiency in old buildings. Likewise, the results of this project will assist those owners or managers of buildings out of the scope of Royal Decree 56/2016 about energy audits (office buildings related to industrial activities in big companies not covering the offices when conducting the energy audit and all the office buildings related to industrial activities in small and medium companies). Results will also be useful for those office buildings out of the scope of the Royal Decree 235/2013 about energy certification of existing buildings (office buildings occupied by a public authority with less than 250 m2 or not frequented by the public). The project is also expected to stimulate the existing energy retrofitting market since the developed model can be useful for professionals related to building retrofitting or energy service companies during the decision making process.

By: Abraham Pais
572 pages, Figs
New edition with a new preface.
"Subtle Is The Lord" is widely recognized as the definitive scientific biography of Albert Einstein. The late Abraham Pais was a distinguished physicist turned historian who knew Einstein both professionally and personally in the last years of his life. His biography combines a profound understanding of Einstein's work with personal recollections from their years of acquaintance, illuminating the man through the development of his scientific thought. Pais examines the formulation of Einstein's theories of relativity, his work on Brownian motion, and his response to quantum theory with authority and precision. The profound transformation Einstein's ideas effected on the physics of the turn of the century is here laid out for the serious reader. Pais also fills many gaps in what we know of Einstein's life - his interest in philosophy, his concern with Jewish destiny, and his opinions of great figures from Newton to Freud. This remarkable volume, written by a physicist who mingled in Einstein's scientific circle, forms a timeless and classic biography of the towering figure of twentieth-century science.
A Masterpiece... the single most comprehensive study of Einstein's scientific work. THES

text: Wow, it’s hard to believe this is the first novel written by Jane Smiley, the author of “A Thousand Acres,” “Moo,” and The Last Hundred Years Trilogy. It is excellent, especially if you are an aficionado of horses—equestrian competitions, dressage, and all that. The plot is engrossing, the characters are intriguing, and I pretty much read it straight through. Kate Karlson, the matriarch of the book, is a difficult, obsessive person, whose relationships with her husband, teenage children, and horses make for a compelling story. The title refers to the condition of single-minded focus, at the cost of everything else. Too true.

METRO approves new budget
HOUSTON Have you ever been stuck in traffic on the freeway thinking, 'I would pay anything if I could just get out of this lane?' In a couple of years, you will have that option. METRO voted to approve its proposed budget for the next fiscal year. One of the changes includes turning 84 miles of HOV lanes into high occupancy toll lanes or 'hot lanes.' This is similar to what was done on the Katy Freeway. METRO allocated $20 million in federal money for the project which will roll out in 2012. The first freeway to get these lanes will be I-45 South. After the Gulf Freeway, others will be evaluated and outfitted with tolls. The $2 toll charge will make better use of existing HOV lanes and give drivers a valuable service. Some drivers say that's too much to pay, while others say it's a dream come true. "Our HOV lanes have a great return on investment, but only in the peak periods of the day for a lot of the day, they are underused, so we're saying rather than let them sit idle, why not let people who are willing to pay use them in those off hours?" said METRO CEO George Greanias. "No I would not. It's too expensive," said driver Norma Christopher. "Sure I would, considering Houston's traffic. Two dollars is probably worth the freedom you get, with the traffic, especially during the rush hour," said driver Priya Davuluri. METRO's budget includes a 31 percent reduction and the board has promised there will be no service cuts, no layoffs and no rate hikes.

"The Lottery" tells the story of an annual tradition practiced by the villagers of an anonymous small town, a tradition that appears to be as vital to the villagers as New Year celebrations might be to us. Yet, subtle hints throughout the story, as well as its shocking conclusion, indicate that the villagers' tradition has become meaningless over time. What's particularly important about tradition in "The Lottery" is that it appears to be eternal: no one knows when it started, and no one can guess when it will end. Its apparent lack of history is what makes tradition so powerful: it's like a force of nature, and the people of the village can't even imagine rebelling against it.
The lottery has become a meaningless tradition for the villagers to follow.
The lottery is part of the village's traditional life and as such, still holds meaning for the villagers.

Natural hybridization mediated by pollen flow has been considered as an important factor to drive speciation in Rhododendron, one of the largest genera within alpine plants. The diversity of Rhododendron species is centered in southwestern China, yet the potential role of interspecific pollination in natural hybridization has not been empirically examined in this area. Here we investigated the flowering period and floral visitors, and conducted a series of pollination experiments to examine breeding systems and hybrid compatibility within four Rhododendron which are frequently sympatric in Yunnan Province. Rhododendron delavayi and R. decorum are clearly distinct by their morphological traits, but the putative hybrids R. agastum and R. irroratum are morphologically between the other two species. We observed that R. delavayi flowered from the beginning of March to the end of May, R. agastum and R. irroratum flowered from the beginning of March to the beginning of April, and after their flowering periods ended, R. decorum began to flower until the end of May. The anthesis of single flowers of the four Rhododendron species was almost one week. The floral visitors belong to the Hymenoptera and Diptera Orders, and Apis cerana cerana visited all of the four Rhododendron species. We found that R. delavayi, R. agastum and R. decorum are self-incompatible, but not R. irroratum. No breeding barrier between any of the four species was detected by artificial pollination, and the hybrid seeds were fertile. The hybrids between four species showed equivalent fitness to their par-ents. We suggest that the role of potential interspecific pollination is essential to hybrid speciation and evolu-tion of Rhododendron species.

text: This report is intended to provide an indepth trade area analysis of Washburn, North Dakota. Specific analyses included determining Washburn's main and greater trade areas, identifying the demographic profile of Washburn shoppers, examining important and less important services for patron shoppers of Washburn, identifying neighboring cities that area shoppers patronize, determining distances area shoppers traveled to Washburn, and listing popular newspapers and radio stations among area residents. Current trade area information for Washburn was obtained from a statewide trade area survey conducted by the Department of Agricultural Economics at North Dakota State University in 1989. Recent trends (1980 to 1989) in Washburn population, retail sales, per capita income, pull factors, and McLean County population and employment were identified and discussed. Washburn's population, trade area population, retail sales, and pull factor, along with McLean County population and average annual employment have all decreased throughout the 1980s. Although most demographic and economic measurements have decreased, Washburn has fared as well as other North Dakota cities with similar population, and has fared favorably compared to smaller competing trade centers. The economic situation found in Washburn and McLean County are somewhat typical of the problems found in rural North Dakota communities in the 1980s. Washburn's trade areas were broken down into main and greater trade areas. A main trade area (MTA) was defined as an area where the majority of township residents purchase a majority of selected goods and services in one city. A greater trade area (GTA) was defined as the area beyond the MTA where some township residents purchase some selected goods and services in one city. Washburn's MTA decreased in size by two townships, compared to MTA boundaries determined in 1969. The typical household for survey respondents appears to be a middle-aged married couple, who have completed high school, have few children at home, are primarily employed in agriculture, professional/technical, and craft/repair professions, and have resided in the area a large portion of their lives. Main trade area residents traveled an average of 5.9 and 6.3 miles to Washburn to purchase selected convenience and specialty goods and services, respectively. Nearly half (42.2 percent) of the respondents who purchased 50 percent or more of convenience and specialty goods in Washburn traveled less than 10 miles to purchase the item. Washburn appears to be an important source of goods and services for those who shop in Washburn; however, Washburn could capture much more of the available market for two-thirds of the nonagricultural and about half of the agricultural goods and services included in the survey questionnaire. Bismarck-Mandan, Center, Turtle Lake, and Underwood were the most popular cities for the purchase of nonagricultural goods and services by Washburn MTA residents who did not purchase a majority of the good or service in Washburn. Wilton, Falkirk, and Bismarck were popular for purchasing agricultural goods and services. Outshopping analysis revealed no substantial demographic or socioeconomic differences between Washburn MTA residents purchasing 50 percent or more and those purchasing less than 50 percent of selected goods and services in Washburn. Differences between groups were evident only in miles traveled. The Bismarck Tribune was the most popular daily newspaper for both Washburn MTA and GTA residents. The Washburn Leader and The McLean County Independent were the most popular weekly newspapers for Washburn MTA and GTA residents, respectively. The most popular radio stations for Washburn MTA residents included KFYR of Bismarck, KBMR of Bismarck, and KQDY of Bismarck. Although economic times have been difficult, Washburn has not lost as much of its retail sales as other cities of similar size; however, Washburn could improve the market capture for much of its available market. Washburn has retained most of its past trade areas and should remain an important trade center for residents in McLean County and the surrounding area.

As the American Athletic Conference kicked off football media availability Thursday, Commissioner Mike Aresco addressed a long list of concerns. At the top was the realignment, which was front and center after the three schools leaving next season for the Big 12 (Houston, Cincinnati and UCF) all scored 1, 2, 3 in the preseason poll.
“We can mourn the realignment all we want, but we have to deal with it,” Aresco said. “It’s a difficult and unforgiving business where trust is routinely broken, feelings are hurt, relationships can end, friendships can dissolve, and schools are often blindsided and abandoned.”
Aresco knows firsthand what realignment it can do to a league, as the AAC spent the last decade dealing with its impact.
It all started with the Big 12 defections of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC, which had a cascading effect as 22 schools changed conference membership. The SEC and Big Ten expanded their ranks to 16 teams in anticipation of big media rights deals.
Even the AAC is expanding, adding UAB, FAU, Charlotte, North Texas, Rice, and UTSA to its membership in 2023.
“The realignment that we have seen is driven by money and competitive positioning, which are two sides of the same coin,” Aresco said. “You don’t hear much about student-athlete wellness, school loyalty, or goals that don’t include conferences for the bottom dollar.
“I have noticed that the conversations at media days this year have shifted almost entirely to marketing, branding and further realignment. The welfare of student-athletes is rarely mentioned.”
Aresco called for a more equitable system to help combat the drift away from amateurism through NCAA governance and the College Football Playoff.
On the playoffs front, he expressed disappointment that the management group could not agree on the proposed model of 12 teams that would have expanded the current four-team model starting in 2024. The plan, which called for six automatic qualifiers and six overall teams, stalled after some conference commissioners failed to win unanimous approval.

The group, made up of all 10 conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, plans to meet again in August in hopes of coming up with a new proposal that would take effect at the end of the playoff contract in 2025-26. .
“It was short-sighted not to do it,” Aresco said. “He deprived hundreds of players of having the opportunity to participate in an expanded playoff in 2024 and 2025.”
Aresco does not favor proposals that would eliminate conference championships as a requirement, choosing instead to fill the postseason model with generals.
Even as the college landscape continues to change with no signs of slowing down, Aresco believes now is the time for schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision to govern themselves separate from the NCAA.
“It is reasonable to believe that FBS football should be governed by committees made up solely of FBS representatives,” he said. “FBS commissioners should have a significant role in the running of FBS football. Soccer is clearly a separate and distinct entity within the NCAA and could benefit from its own governance structure.
“It may make sense to simplify the governance process through FBS self-governance. This will be an ongoing discussion that our conference will engage in.”

Health CAS Rashid Aman has said supporting mental health remains the government’s priority during the Covid-19 pandemic. Speaking on Saturday at Afya House, he said stigma associated with the Coronavirus is a cause for psychological distress, noting that the containment measures which include staying at home, restricted movement and social distancing can affect one’s mental well-being.
He pointed out that health workers too are adversely affected, “Healthcare workers and frontline workers are at a high risk of stress and trauma related disorders,” he said. People with severe mental illness, intellectual and cognitive disabilities are targets of abuse and neglect in the community and lack the necessary support to adhere to the Covid-19 directives, according to the CAS.
The government has prioritized mental health and psychosocial support system and has provided 24 hour access to tele-counselling services that provide psychological care. The implementation of the Presidential directive on mental health care has also been prioritized, all these to cater for mental wellness of Kenyans during the pandemic.

Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drums
Description or Lyrics and Chords
The Stone Roses were an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1984. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement that was active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's most notable lineup consisted of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield, and drummer Alan "Reni" Wren.
The band released their debut album in 1989, the self titled The Stone Roses. The album was a breakthrough success for the band. At this time the Stone Roses decided to capitalize on their success by signing to a major label; however, their current record label Silvertone would not let them out of their contract, which led to a long legal battle that culminated with the band signing with Geffen Records in 1991, and then finally releasing their second album Second Coming in 1994. The group soon disbanded after several lineup changes throughout the supporting tour, which began with Reni first departing, followed by Squire.
Formation and early releases
Vocalist Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire knew each other from secondary school, and formed a short-lived band called The Patrol in 1980 along with Andy Couzens and drummer Simon Wolstencroft. While working as an animator for Cosgrove Hall during the day, Squire continued to play guitar, while Brown gave up performing in bands and ran a Northern soul night in a Salford club. Squire started a new band, The Waterfront, along with bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield and a singer named Kaiser, which was influenced by the 1960s and by bands such as Orange Juice. Kaiser was replaced by Brown in 1983, and shortly afterwards the band changed their name to The Stone Roses (the name was derived from the names of the groups English Rose and The Rolling Stones).). By 1984, the line-up was Squire, Brown, bassist and former roadie Peter Garner, guitarist Andy Couzens, and drummer Alan Wren.
In 1985, already with a strong following, the band recorded tracks with producer Martin Hannett that were intended to comprise their debut album, but the band's sound changed and they abandoned the album (it was later released as Garage Flower). The Stone Roses released their first single, the Hannett-produced double A-side "So Young"/"Tell Me". At this point the band had a more goth/punk sound, more in line with Manchester bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s period such as Joy Division or Magazine, although by the time of their next single, "Sally Cinnamon", the group's sound had changed considerably. Released in 1987 on FM Revolver records, "Sally Cinnamon" contained chiming guitar hooks and a strong melody.
In late 1986 Andy Couzens left the band due to differences with manager Gareth Evans, joining Steve Diggle in Buzzcocks F.O.C., and less than a year later, bassist Pete Garner left the band, in August 1987. The Stone Roses then brought in Waterfront bassist Mani (Gary Mounfield); Brown recalled, "When Mani joined it almost changed overnight. It became a totally different groove [...] Straight away, everything just fell into place". A single, the psychedelic-tinged "Elephant Stone", followed, along with an album deal with Jive/Zomba offshoot Silvertone Records.

In 1988 and early 1989, The Stone Roses recorded their debut album, produced by John Leckie. The Stone Roses was well received by the music press and is now considered one of the finest British albums of all time . Also in 1989 they won four NME Readers poll awards  in a year with band of the year, best new band, single of the year for "Fools Gold" and album of the year for their self titled debut album.
The singles "Made Of Stone" and "She Bangs the Drums" became moderately successful. Later that year the band released a double A-side single, "Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For", which reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart in November 1989. Originally intended as a B-side, "Fools Gold" quickly became the Roses' most famous song and a performance of it on Top of the Pops cemented their national fame.
One minute into a live 1989 TV performance and the power failed as Ian Brown roared "amateurs" at Tracey MacLeod.
In 1990 The Stone Roses decided to stage a huge outdoor gig at Spike Island in Widnes. The gig took place on 27 May 1990 and was attended by approximately 27,000 people. The event was considered a failure at the time due to sound problems and bad organisation, yet has become legendary over the years - a Woodstock for the baggy generation. The Roses followed Spike Island with another big gig at Glasgow Green, and by July had released their final single for Silvertone, "One Love".
"One Love" reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, The Stone Roses' highest chart placing yet. After its release, things quickly began to unravel. It was to be the Roses' last original release for four years, as they entered a protracted legal battle to terminate their five year contract with Silvertone. Silvertone owners Zomba Records took out an injunction against the band in September 1990 to prevent them from recording with any other label. In May 1991 the courts sided with the group, which was then let free of its contract. The Stone Roses subsequently signed with Geffen Records (garnering a two million pound advance for their next record) and began work on their second album. However, Silvertone appealed the ruling, which delayed work on the record for another year.
 Second Coming and breakup
Following the court case with Silvertone and Zomba, The Stone Roses separated themselves from Manchester's club culture and spent much of 1992 and 1993 travelling in Europe. The group finally commenced work on their second album in mid-1993. However, work on the album proceeded slowly, hampered by Brown's and Squire's new fatherhood and the deaths of several people close to the band. John Leckie ultimately left the project as the band would not sign a production contract. Afterwards, The Stone Roses continued production with engineer Simon Dawson at Rockfield Studios in Wales, where they spent 347 ten-hour days working on the album.
The Stone Roses finally released their follow-up album, Second Coming, in December 1994. Mostly written by John Squire, the music now had a dark, heavy blues-rock sound. "Love Spreads" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. Second Coming received a mixed reception from the British press, which music journalist Simon Reynolds attributed less to the music itself and "more to do with the resentment that the Roses, divorced from the cultural moment that gave them meaning, were now just another band".
In March 1995 Reni left the band, and this marked the beginning of the end of The Stone Roses. The band, which had never been particularly media friendly, gave no real explanation for his departure. A replacement drummer, Robbie Maddix, who had previously worked with Rebel MC, was found, and the band soldiered on. Also recruited around this time for the live shows was session-keyboardist/programmer Nigel Ippinson, who had previously played with the band on the re-working of "Begging You" for its release as a single.
A secret comeback tour of the UK in April 1995 was planned, but this was cancelled after the music press announced the dates. A major blow to the band's status was the cancellation of their planned UK comeback performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June 1995. John Squire had suffered a mountain biking accident in northern California just weeks before the show, breaking his collarbone. The band finally booked a full UK tour for November and December 1995 and all dates sold out in a day.
John Squire left the band on 1 April 1996, releasing a statement which described his departure as "the inevitable conclusion to the gradual social and musical separation we have undergone in the past few years". Eventually, former Simply Red session guitarist Aziz Ibrahim was recruited to fill Squire's shoes. The band persevered for another six months, culuminating in two disastrous performances at Benicassim Festival and the Reading Festival in August 1996, at which disappointed fans booed and threw objects at the stage, and Brown's vocals were described as "so off-key it was excruciating to have to listen". The music press were united in their criticism of the performance, with the NME describing "I am the Resurrection" as "more like the eternal crucifixion". Brown and Mani dissolved the group in October 1996.
Ian Brown and John Squire have both had successful solo careers since the Roses' breakup. Squire formed The Seahorses, who released one album before breaking up, and released two solo albums. In 2007, Squire told a reporter from the Manchester Evening News that he was giving up music for good to focus on his career as a painter. Brown has released five solo albums, all but one of which have charted within the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart. A large number of these albums featured Aziz Ibrahim on guitar.
Neither Mani nor Reni have pursued solo careers. Mani joined Primal Scream as their bassist in 1996, and has remained in the band consistently since. Reni has remained inactive for the most part since the Roses' breakup. He started a new band called The Rub in 1999, and played several gigs. Nothing has been heard of The Rub since that tour. In a rare interview in 2005, Reni said that he was writing new songs that he would perform with Mani.
Despite multiple rumours that the Roses would reform, Squire and Brown have both repeatedly denied any possibility of a reunion. Past tensions haven't subsided, and the pair have not spoken since Squire resigned. Squire was interviewed in May 2007 by Dave Haslam on XFM Manchester radio and further lowered the likeliness of a reunion, claiming that even if Ian Brown phoned him and asked if he would be up for gig, he would turn the offer down. The only partial reunion since the breakup took place on 30 March 2007 at former Smiths' bassist Andy Rourke's charity concert in aid of Manchester Versus Cancer. Ian Brown performed a solo set and was joined by Mani and unofficial fifth member Cressa, along with Andy Rourke, Maka Simato and Steve White to perform "I Am the Resurrection". Reni was supposedly lined up to play drums, but for unknown reasons, did not turn up. The following year's show was reported by The Sun to have Mani, Andy Rourke and Peter Hook's group Freebass on the lineup, to be joined by Brown and Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. Brown denied the claim on his website and myspace later that day. After telling Tim Lovejoy that if The Specials reformed he would reunite the Stone Roses, Mani appeared on Lovejoy's internet show Channel Bee and announced that he spoke to Reni and John Squire who both wanted to reunite for the 20th Anniversary of the debut album. He claimed that he just needed to persuade Ian Brown. A spokesman for Squire stated in January 2009 that Squire "has no plans to return to music".
The 20th-anniversary edition of the band's debut album is to be released in August 2009, remastered by John Leckie, including a collectors' box-set edition and the previously unreleased song 'Pearl Bastard'.
 Reported 2009 reunion
The UK's Daily Mirror reported on 17 March 2009 that "sources" had confirmed that the band was to reform in 2009 for a 21 date tour. The report was given sufficient credence to be repeated on the New Musical Express's website. . To date, however, no official announcement has materialised, and John Squire and Ian Brown have both denied the claim.
On 19 March 2009, it was reported that John Squire had created a piece of artwork depicting his less than positive views of the band reforming. The piece read "I have no desire whatsoever to desecrate the grave of seminal Manchester pop group The Stone Roses 18.3.09", which strongly indicated that rumours of the band reforming were highly unlikely.
In an interview on the BBC's Newsnight, Squire stated that he thought the reunion of the band would never happen even if Ian Brown and he were still on speaking terms. He stated that he would refuse, not being interested in reforming the band. He said that he would be dedicating himself to his visual art work and that "music is a young man's game".
On 9 June 2009 bassist Mani stated that the band would reform if they were offered enough money, but admitted he's "very nearly given up" on trying to orchestrate a reunion  and two months later told BBC Newsbeat how Ian Brown "isn't up for it at all".
In the September issue of Q Magazine, in which he spoke about his new album, My Way, Ian Brown revealed that he would be up for a reunion, but only for charity. He said he would donate the proceeds to youth clubs. However, he said that this would only happen if the other band members agreed to do the same.
 Musical style and influences
The Stone Roses were part of the Madchester movement, a style of alternative rock that mixed acid house rhythms with guitar pop sounds. In contrast to their colleagues Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses based their sound on traditional pop songs, merely enhanced by dance beats. The band's influences included garage rock, Northern soul, punk rock, and artists such as The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. Brown and Mani favoured reggae but their bandmates didn't, instead preferring heavy metal. Read more on Last.fm.

Vital Village Networks, Community Mobilization Coordinator, AmeriCorps VISTA
As the winter months creep towards us, I have been reflecting back on the warmth of the summer and my first few months working as an AmeriCorps VISTA at Vital Village Networks. One of the highlights of my experience so far has been the celebration-filled week of virtual events in honor of Black Breastfeeding Week (BBW) at the end of August. If any of you are like me, you may have never heard of Black Breastfeeding Week, or even National Breastfeeding Month. I am the youngest sibling in my family and have a long way to go before starting a family of my own. I had very little knowledge of breastfeeding, and was joining the BBW train long after it left the station; months of planning were already in the committee’s rear-view. But I jumped onboard with an eager and open-mind and was welcomed by a committee of community leaders brimming with wisdom, experience, ideas, and warmth.
These leaders embody the goal of BBW everyday and elevate Black breastfeeding in their communities. They advocate for reduced racial disparities in breastfeeding rates, normalize Black breastfeeding to combat negative stereotypes, and celebrate the joys of breastfeeding. Learning and engaging with the BBW committee was such a positive experience for me, I am happy to have the chance to share reflections from the week and a glimpse at what is coming for BBW 2021.
Camelia Garrick, a fellow AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer, and I were able to speak with six of our BBW committee members that are also integral members of our Breastfeeding Coalition. Shenell Ford, Dominique Bellegarde, and Keyla Kelley are all lactation counselors and mothers that champion breastfeeding support in their communities. Jenny Weaver is also a long-time lactation counselor and helps mentor many of our incoming breastfeeding scholars. Lisa White and Brandy Watts advocate for maternal and child health equity through their work in the Child Adolescent and Family Health (CAFH) Bureau’s office at Boston Public Health Commission, and Lisa also serves as a doula.
For all of those that are as new to the importance of Black breastfeeding as I was, I first want to share some responses from BBW committee members about “What does Black breastfeeding mean to you?”
A recurring theme that seemed to pop-up in every interview we conducted was love. Shenell beautifully stated: “[Breastfeeding is] a beautiful expression of love in so many ways. The connection, the bond, not just between you and your baby, but encompassing the whole experience for the family.” Dominique had a similar thought and responded that breastfeeding was “the best start for baby” and a way to show “unconditional love to next generations”.
Remarking on the significance of Black breastfeeding, Lisa and Dominique mentioned that it was “empowerment” and “an example to my nation of people”. Shenell and Jenny responded that Black breastfeeding is “healing and joy” and “a time to uplift and highlight the joy around breastfeeding in Black families and communities.”
It was very inspiring to see a group of women dedicate their spare time and energy to a cause that has had such a profound impact on them and their families. The events that were planned throughout the week exemplified the feelings of joy and love through celebration and advocacy. I asked committee members “What was an event during Black Breastfeeding Week that stood out to you and why?”
Committee members decided to embrace creativity and artistic expression throughout Black Breastfeeding Week to emulate this year’s theme of “Revive. Restore. Reclaim!” Dominique championed the month-long family Paint Night series, and she worked to “use local artists that are members in the Vital Village Network to celebrate children in the community and their work and stories,” and engaged a young adult artist as the lead instructor. Our week finished with a drumming circle celebration led by the local Jah Jah Drummers group. Keyla and her children joined in the virtual fun with pots and pans, and she told us that “It was great to see children who have been breastfed be a part of the celebration. It highlighted for me that we are raising the next generation of advocates.”
With this year’s Black Breastfeeding Week only a few months behind them, the committee is already brainstorming ideas for next year. It was exciting to hear the purpose and passion in each committee members’ voice when we asked, “What goals do you have for the next Black Breastfeeding Week?”
Lisa’s dream summed up world-wide sentiments when she said “a COVID- free celebration!” and she elaborated with her hope to get “more awareness throughout the community and agencies.” Brandy intends to increase inclusion as well, by “reaching a greater number of black people and a more diverse diaspora, with other languages being included.”
Keyla, Shenell, and Dominique all agreed that they would like to incorporate more live music, photos, and black breastfeeding imagery. With this intent in mind, many committee members realized the need to start planning early and seek out more grants and funding to build the capacity of their events. For Shenell, her goal extends far beyond just Black Breastfeeding Week. She already made impressive strides in Springfield by obtaining an official Mayoral Proclamation. Her goal is, “To show that breastfeeding is weaved throughout everything and have breastfeeding be the connector and the core.”
With the planning process for Black Breastfeeding Week 2021 already underway, I am honored to be working with such caring and motivated community leaders. They are inspiring future generations of breastfeeding advocates and advancing racial equity in their communities. Save the date for next year, and let us know if you would like to be involved!

With an increase in the number of homeless students served by Indian Prairie School District 204, school leaders opted to hire a new company to transport those living outside district boundaries.
"Our population has outgrown the taxi service," said Tim Keeley, director of support services for the district, which serves students in Naperville, Aurora, Bolingbrook and Plainfield.
Five years ago, the district had 31 homeless students. That total reached 231 last school year, with 90 out-of-district students needing transportation, up from 70 the previous year. State law requires districts teach and provide transportation for students who become homeless for as long as they remain homeless.
Superintendent Kathy Birkett said the law aims to provide stability for homeless students, some of whom were changing school districts every few weeks, and to help keep them from falling behind in school. It's difficult to predict the cost of transportation with some students coming in from Chicago and others far west of Naperville, officials said.
"I think it is important to send a message that we are happy to have those students," Birkett said. "While they are costly and while there are a lot of issues, I think maybe part of our desirability isn't what kind of district we are but maybe (that) we're doing some good work making those kids feel comfortable and welcome here."
Previously, the district used 303 Taxi to transport out-of-district homeless students but found the service could sometimes be unreliable on Fridays. This past school year the district spent $307,000 to transport those students, though not all invoices have been received or paid. The total for the 2011-12 school year was $321,000.
District officials expect the homeless student population could rise 25 percent annually for the next several years, according to district projections.
Under a new two-year contract with RichLee Vans, vehicles must be kept within five miles of the district in a secure lot to ensure transportation is dedicated to students and not to private fares. Also, buses, vans and cars will be equipped with real-time GPS and video cameras for safety.
It appears the new contract may cost more than the previous taxi service, but district board President Lori Price said the safety measures are worth any extra cost.
"Kids come from an environment where they may not feel safe because they are homeless; at least they can feel safe on the bus," she said.
RichLee Vans uses bus drivers trained to work with students, Keeley said.
"We have to structure this, in my opinion, to give us the greatest chance to give a safe ride for that student," he said. "These are very vulnerable students, so we want to try to afford them the same thing" that other district students get.
The district has the option to renew the contract for three one-year terms after the first two years.


An 11-year-old girl allegedly did what most would deem impossible to save the life of her friend. When 9-year-old Latoya Muwani was in the water yelling for help, being bitten by a crocodile, Rebecca Munkombwe jumped on the animal’s back and gouged his eyes out to release her friend.
Most adults wouldn’t be able to do something like this, let alone a little girl. But according to reports, she didn’t even hesitate – she just went for it.
Both girls are fine, and Rebecca is being called a hero.
Several children from the village of Sinderela in Zimbabwe were swimming in a stream enjoying the weather. Typical children things. As they were leaving the area, the kids heard a scream.
Little Latoya was in the water, about neck-deep, and screamed that something was biting her hand. Most of the children scattered, running in various directions, or were frozen with fear. But not Rebecca.
Rebecca instead ran towards the water. She jumped on the back of the crocodile and pounded against the hard skin with her bare hands, but it didn’t seem to be doing much, so she switched tactics and went for the eyes.
After several attempts, Rebecca was able to press her fingers into the crocodile’s eyes. Only then did the animal let Latoya go, who had been bitten on both her hand and leg by the crocodile in an attempt to pull her under the water.
Rebecca swam with Latoya to the edge of the water, where several other children helped pull them up.
Latoya was treated at a regional hospital with only minor injuries.
When talking about her close encounter with the river monster, Rebecca says that of the seven children swimming, she was the oldest, so she felt that she had to do something to protect Latoya.
Rebecca remarked that she felt lucky that the crocodile did not chase after them, but let the girls go after she injured it.
Latoya’s father, Forture, said of Rebecca’s heroic acts, “How she managed to do that I don’t know but am grateful to God. Latoya is recovering well here… and we expect her to be discharged soon.”
According to authorities, crocodile attacks are getting more and more common in the area as fresh, healthy water sources are harder to come by.

E.M. Forster says our job as novelists is a simple one: it is all about getting the reader to turn the page. Charles Baxter advises us to take an interesting character and give that character an interesting problem. The great Pinckney Benedict believes the novel will teach the writer how it should be written.
For me--in my limited experience--I can only play around with the words, the setting, the characters until the narrative voice emerges. I have to know how the story needs to be told before I can worry too much about what actually happens, or even who the story happens to. For me, voice is everything.
Yesterday, I broke into my parents' house--they were at the beach and all was quiet there--and spent a day struggling through the first chapter of a new work. It was a sort of wonderful torture, piecing out the very start, finding not just the voice, but the authority of the voice. The power of it that says, yes, I can handle this. I can carry it through. And now, as the writer, my job is simply to follow that voice. To trust it, no matter where it takes me.

In our last column, we talked about solar energy paying for itself after the cost of parts and installation.
“As of the first half of 2017, the average price for a solar panel system in Chicago was $3.48 per watt,” according to EnergySage (http://news.energysage.com/much-solar-panels-cost-chicago/)
Thus, since the typical system size in the U.S. is 5 kilowatts (5,000 watts), the average cost of a solar panel system in Chicago is $17,421 before any rebates or incentives.
The $17,421 is the cost for a homeowner. A renter’s cost would be significantly less overall, but still the same per watt.
Because the federal government still gives a 30 percent tax break for solar panel installations, numbers then drop, as the following table taken from EnergySage shows:
System size Average solar system cost
3 kW $8,877
5 kW $12,195
7 kW $16,349
10 kW $23,386
12 kW $27,281
It is estimated that the average homeowner will see a complete payoff on their investment and start reaping a 100 percent savings after 20 years (the length of a mortgage).
An alternative to storing the energy yourself is to send the energy back to the electrical grid. This is known as “net metering,” which is available here in Chicago.
Net metering is when the electric company gives you credits for how much energy you send into the grid. This way, as you build up credits, you can simply use your credits to make up the cost difference and still not pay for that month if your grid does not make enough energy for that period.
Solar energy could help the homeless population. I recently thought about a previous issue we did on Chicago’s tent city. If these people were to have access to cheap solar panels (cost, not quality), then they could power radios, a small hot plate, and flashlights. Now, this only works during the daytime, unless they have a storage battery of some sort that could be used at nighttime.
Chicago is planning to go renewable in 900 municipal buildings starting next year, which will include solar, by 2025. http://www.utilitydive.com/news/chicago-to-power-city-owned-buildings-with-100-renewable-energy/440203/
“As the Trump administration pulls back on building a clean energy economy, Chicago is doubling down,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. “We are sending a clear signal that we remain committed to building a 21st century economy here in Chicago.”
The Shedd Aquarium has installed over 900 rooftop solar panels and reduced its energy consumption by 50 percent. It has made a new commitment to go further.
Let’s look at Illinois and some facts, both good and bad.
For the good, Illinois is ranked 17 in solar jobs nationwide, and had a 7 percent job growth in solar jobs in 2016. We produced enough power through solar energy to power 10,192 homes in 2016.
We earned an A in interconnection policy and a B in net metering policy. Interconnection means the number of solar panels actually connected to the electrical grid. Net metering, as explained earlier, is putting energy into the grid for others to use. Cook County had 1860 solar jobs in 2016, more than three times as many as the second highest county in Illinois.
On the bad side, Illinois was ranked 40th in the nation for solar jobs per capita. (In defense, we are the 5th largest state in population.) We’re ranked 32nd for installed solar capacity. We’re ranked 32nd for average electricity price, putting us on the high end.

Melissa requested and loved these little detail shots. His little legs and leg rolls and his tiny feet were her favorite. Melissa also requested the other poses in this collage which I call back wrinkles and side lying. I love letting my clients communicate what they love most!
Sweet Charles even flashed us a little smile during his session while his mama was getting her hair and makeup done by the lovely Katie Cotton of Cotton Rogue right in the studio.
Everyone DIED laughing when Charles flipped this little birdy. I love that Melissa chose it for her final gallery. I know this little gem of a photo is going to provide so much black mail and giggles in the years to come.
But this sweet image with daddy is probably my very favorite from the session! I love the contrast of a tiny baby in big strong daddy hands. It’s just so emotional for me.
Katie did an awesome job making Melissa feel confident so few days after birth. I love when my mamas invest in hair and makeup. It’s so good to feel pampered.
Melissa’s natural beauty just shines!
I had to sneak one in of my favorite bear bonnet too. Look how cute!

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation and increased thrombotic risk in both arterial and venous beds. In the last decades, important advances were achieved in understanding the pathophysiology of hypercoagulability in these patients. However, several new mediators of coagulation activation have been recently described in other pathological contexts, opening new avenues for the research about hypercoagulability in SCD. Among these new mediators, Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) and free heme can be considered the most promising targets. In this project, we aim to use different experimental strategies to explore the role of these elements in the pathophysiology of SCD. The role of NETs will be explored by specific assays of NETosis, and by the evaluation of the expression of a key regulatory checkpoint of NET formation, which is the protein PAD4 in patients with SCD. These results will also be correlated with classic biomarkers of coagulation activation to question the association of these two processes. We will also use an in vitro model of NET formation induced by free heme (one of the pivotal factors of hypercoagulability in SCD), to evaluate: (i) the participation of PAD4 in heme-induced NETosis, (ii) the effect of PAD4 inhibitors in this process, and (iii) the profile of post-transcriptional modification of histones (a key step of NET formation) induced by heme. As a second strategy, we will validate the results of a recently published meta-analysis of gene expression studies involving heme-stimulated endothelial cells and patients with SCD performed by our group, in which we identified two candidate genes (IFI27 and SYK) associated with innate immunity activation. The project is part of a broader effort, started a few years ago in the Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of Unicamp, which aim to evaluate the pro-thrombotic mechanisms of SCD and the pathways activated by the free heme in this process.

Today was a great day in my very limited experience of becoming an author. To start the day off right, in the mail came my very first check as an author from my first story From Abandoned to Attorney published in “Chicken Soup For the Soul, From Lemons to Lemonade!” I can now say I am officially a paid author. Then a few hours later, I received my advance copies of my second published story, Not Alone, in “Chicken Soup for the Soul, It’s Christmas” It is a wonderful book about the joy and wonder of Christmas and goes on sale everywhere October 8th (by the way , that’s the day before I celebrate my 60th birthday!) Anyway, I am encouraged and humbled by being selected to appear in these wonderful Chicken Soup publications. It gives me the inspiration to keep writing and working on my novel. Maybe someday I will be able to say that I’ve published a novel too!
On a different note, enough about me. I can’t post a blog this week without mentioning how my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those people affected by the horrible floods here in my beloved State of Colorado. I didn’t think it would ever stop raining, but this morning we are blessed again with our usual clear blue skies. Although I was not personally hit by the flood, there is just so much devastation and loss here in my home of Larimer County. Many homes and businesses lost. My heart goes out to everyone.


F1 has announced that it will be returning to Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Grand Prix starting from 2023.
It is set to be the third race on the calendar held in the United States, with Grands Prix already taking place in Miami and Austin.
F1 has visited Las Vegas before, between 1981 and 1982. At the time, the Caesars Palace circuit was rated as one of the worst that the sport had ever raced at.
It did at least provide some form of excitement in its second year, with Keke Rosberg picking up the two points he required to win his first and only Drivers’ Championship. Otherwise, however, entertainment appears to have been few and far between.
F1 announced the highly-anticipated news on Twitter on Thursday morning, having teased it for much of the previous day.
Here’s everything we know about the newest addition to the F1 calendar:
When will the Las Vegas Grand Prix take place?
F1 have confirmed that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place on a Saturday night in a withdrawal from the usual procedure.
The last F1 race to be held on a Saturday was the 1985 running of the South African Grand Prix.
The race is scheduled to begin at 10pm local time. That means that fans in Europe will have to wait until the early hours of the morning to tune in.
F1 have announced that the race will take place in November 2023.
What track will host the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
Although the specific name of the track has not yet been announced, we do have details on what it will look like.
The track will incorporate part of the famous Las Vegas Strip and see drivers reach speeds of over 210mph. There are a total of 12 corners.
F1’s website also states that the track will take place amongst famous landmarks and will cover 3.8 miles.
What have F1 personnel said?
F1 chief executive, Stefano Domenicali, said: “Las Vegas is a destination known around the world for its excitement, hospitality, thrills and, of course, the famous Strip.
“There is no better place for Formula 1 to race than in the global entertainment capital of the world, and we cannot wait to be here next year.”
How many other races will be in the United States?
As it stands, three F1 races will take place in the United States in 2023. Las Vegas joins existing races held at the Circuit of Americas in Austin and the new street circuit in Miami.
In January, RacingNews365 reported that the long-term plan of F1’s commercial rights holders, Liberty Media, is to have four races in the US.

Last night on Twitter, ASCD and an inspiring group of educators dedicated an entire hour to sharing the many things we are all thankful for. The chat left me in an incredibly grateful mood. Whether you are thankful for your school community, your professional development opportunities, the new technologies available in your classroom, or a new position this school year, the universal theme that sounded throughout the entire chat was that you are thankful for and inspired by your students.
What are you thankful for this school year? Join @wholechildadv and @ASCD Monday, November 25, at 8 p.m. eastern time for a Twitter chat with fellow educators that is entirely devoted to gratitude and giving thanks.
New one-page profiles of the 2013 National Blue Ribbon schools highlight each school's mission, demographics, culture, and goals.
The 286 schools—210 elementary schools, 22 middle schools, 53 high schools, and one K–12 school—represent promising ideas in different settings, from rural areas to major cities. Schools were recognized in one of two categories: Exemplary High Performing, based on overall academic excellence, or Exemplary Improving, grounded in improving student achievement. Now in its 31st year, the program celebrates schools that serve as admirable examples of the United States' vision and commitment to education.
ASCD continually seeks to provide solutions to the challenges that face educators of all levels. Recently, the ASCD SmartBrief ED Pulse poll sought to develop a short list of useful tasks for parents to implement in their daily routine to enhance what is being taught in the classroom.
ASCD continually seeks to provide solutions to the challenges that face educators of all levels. Recently the ASCD SmartBrief ED Pulse poll sought out the opinion of its readers on the idea of community schools.
According to current statistics, more than 30 percent of our school-age young people—approximately 5.7 million children—are bullied in schools, on playgrounds, and in recreational facilities each year. Research shows that these numbers can be reduced by nearly half through the use of effective bullying prevention programs.
During the month of October, in observance of National Bullying Prevention Month, schools and organizations across the country will join STOMP Out Bullying to encourage communities to work together to stop bullying and cyberbullying and to increase awareness of the prevalence and impact of bullying on children. As part of the observation, the week of October 21, 2013, is dedicated as STAND UP for Others Week. It's a week-long commitment to stand up for victims of bullying that ends on Friday, October 25, the internationally observed STAND UP to Bullying Day.
ASCD continually seeks to provide solutions to the challenges that face educators of all levels. Recently the ASCD SmartBrief ED Pulse poll addressed where quality early education falls within U.S. priorities and goals.
The U.S. government shut down this morning because Congress was unable to pass a bill to fund federal programs as the new fiscal year begins. This week's Capitol Connection cuts through the politics and brinkmanship to outline what a shutdown means for the nation's students, educators, and schools.

Granada has won all four of its competitive matches this season and has a lot in common with Atletico in that they combine tough defensive organization with a high rate of effectiveness from set pieces. If Atletico is below its best, it could start by dropping points.
Li made four straight points from three kills and one block to start the second set before Zhang spearheaded Jiangsu to fight back with a 7-0 run.
Wagner is putting a brave face on everything and is optimistic about sparking a successful turnaround despite reports he has already lost his players' trust.
However, the opener for Sharjah came in the injury time of the first half when winger Saif Rashid received a Coronado free kick and fired his header into the bottom corner.

EMS 3 in 1 Needle-Free RF Skin Rejuvenation Mesotherapy Gun
You Save $100.02 (14%)
Say No to botox or filler! Our intelligent EMS 3 In 1 Needle-Free RF Mesotherapy Gun is designed to stimulate the collagen you need! Widely practiced in Europe, traditional mesotherapy targets problem areas with microinjections of medicines, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. No-needle high-frequency mesotherapy aims to deliver the same results but without the pain associated with the injections – a viable option for your needle phobics.
Now, Enjoy a spa-like experience from the comfort of your home!
By combining Ultrasonic technology on our EMS Needle-Free Water Light system with the exclusive range of mesotherapy products, you can experience a range of totally non-invasive, ‘no needle’ Mesotherapy treatments. Ultrasound acts as a delivery mechanism for the active ingredients, pushing product through the dermal layers of the skin without the use of a needle.
In turn, it will temporarily allow the cell membranes to become permeable allowing the cell to absorb the vital nutrients contained within each active ingredient. This technology allows us to perform a transdermal infusion of products designed and formulated to create a no needle version of Mesotherapy.
No-needle high-frequency mesotherapy helps with skin rejuvenation, slimming, and cellulite by:
Stimulating collagen for improved skin tone and wrinkle reduction.
- Reduce dark spots and skin pigmentation
Stimulating microcirculation for reduced water retention, improved cell nourishment, and detoxification.
Exerting an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action for more youthful and healthy skin and an anti-aging effect.
- Releasing fat from adipocytes (fat cells), for a localized face sculpting effect, or to stimulate the uptake of fat from adipocytes for a filling, plumping effect on the face.
A topical solution of active ingredients is applied to the target area. Penetration of these tiny “medicinal bullets” are encouraged directly into the middle layer of skin with the use of Electroporation and Electro-osmosis.
This high-frequency technique ‘penetrates’ the skin at the exact depth that is needed for optimum results, and depending on the specifically-tailored concoction, mesotherapy helps fight free radicals, encourages cellular activity, circulation, lymphatic drainage, fat cell disbursement, collagen and elastin production. Vitamin C or Hyaluronic acid is highly recommended to the mix for skin's elasticity and suppleness!
Our Skin Rejuvenation Mesotherapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments like Cutera laser rejuvenation or resurfacing, glycolic facial peels for optimal results. Treatment may be carried out immediately after an initial consultation to determine the number of treatment sessions required.
Post Treatment CareMassage and strenuous activity on treated areas should be refrained up to 48 hours after treatment.
