“Two weeks, and I count this week as one,” Prescott told ESPN’s Lisa Salters. Commanders.
Prescott’s ability to handle the ball will determine when he returns to the field. The Cowboys declined to put Prescott on injured reserve following the injury and hope to have him back on the field in early-to-mid October.

NASA Delays the 1 Launch of the New Moon Rocket Artemis due to an Engine Issue
The US space agency has indicated that there is a problem with one of the main engines of the Space Launch System rocket
Monday’s initial flight of the massive rocket was postponed by NASA for at least four days due to an engine issue, and it hopes astronauts will one day return to the moon, more than half a century after the last Apollo mission to the moon.
The US space agency noticed a problem with one of the main engines of a Space Launch System (SLS) rocket when launch crews began a test that would have cooled the engines for liftoff. One will not cool down as expected.
The delay was announced at 08:35 a.m. m. EDT (12:35 GMT), two minutes after the scheduled launch time, as the 32-story rocket and Orion capsule waited to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The mission, dubbed Artemis I, calls for a six-week unmanned Orion test flight around the Moon and back to Earth to drop water into the Pacific Ocean.
NASA has not set a new launch date for the two-stage rocket but said its first opportunity was Friday, September 2.
The agency’s adherence to this date depends on how quickly engineers resolve the engine problem. The next release opportunity is Monday, September 5.
Launch delays are common in the space business, and Monday’s delay does not signal a major setback for NASA or its main contractors, Boeing Co (BA.N) for SLS and Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) for Orion.
“We’re not going to get to work until we get it right,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in an online interview just after liftoff was called off. “It’s just to clarify that this is a very complex machine, a very complex system, and all of these things have to work. And you don’t want to light the candle until it’s ready to go.”
However, the delay was a disappointment to the thousands of spectators who lined the beaches of Cape Canaveral, binoculars in hand.
Vice President Kamala Harris had just arrived at the Space Center, joining a crowd of dignitaries and inviting guests who attended the event, shortly before the cleanup was called.
The first flight of the SLS-Orion rocket will mark a departure from NASA’s highly acclaimed Luna-to-Mars Artemis program, the successor to the Apollo lunar missions of the 1960s and 1970s.
The flight is intended to put the 5.75 million-pound craft through a rigorous test flight, pushing the limits of its design, before NASA deems it reliable enough to carry astronauts on a subsequent intended flight. to 2024.
Five decades have passed since humans lived on the Moon
The SLS is the world’s most powerful complex rocket and represents the largest new vertical launch system the US space agency has built since the launch of Saturn V during Apollo, which grew out of the space race between the US and Canada. The USA and the Soviet Union in the Cold War. it was.
If the first two Artemis missions are successful, NASA aims to return astronauts to the moon, including the first woman to walk on the moon, as early as 2025, though many experts believe the timeline is likely to be later than a few. road. Years.
The last humans to walk on the Moon were the two-man Apollo 17 team in 1972, following in the footsteps of 10 other astronauts during five previous missions beginning with Apollo 11 in 1969.
The Artemis program eventually seeks to create a long-range lunar base as a springboard for more ambitious astronaut flights to Mars, a goal NASA officials have said will likely take until at least the late 2030s.
The show is named after the goddess who was the twin sister of Apollo in ancient Greek mythology.
The SLS system has been in development for over a decade, with years of delays and cost overruns. But Artemis has also created tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in commerce.
One issue NASA officials cited last week as a potential roadblock to Monday’s launch was any signs during rocket refueling that a newly repaired hydrogen line facility had not held up. NASA officials said Sunday they are also looking into the possibility of a possible, but minor, helium leak from launch pad equipment.
Although there are no humans on board, Orion will carry a crew of three simulators, one man and two mannequins, equipped with sensors to measure radiation levels and other stresses that astronauts may encounter in real life.

Five Workday Snacks That Can Help You Lose Weight
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing wrong with having a snack in between meals. In fact, snacking throughout the day can actually help you lose weight. However, it is important to make sure that you are eating the right types of snacks. Below are five workday snacks that can help you lose weight:
Fiber one bars
Fiber one bars come in a variety of flavors including chocolate and blueberry. They supply five grams of fiber, which is approximately 20 percent of the recommended daily value. Fiber is one of the key nutrients that helps you shed those extra pounds. It keeps you full so that you do not crave sugary foods. Additionally, fiber also helps keep your blood sugar level stable.
Popcorn can be a healthy snack, but you should make sure that you choose the kind that is low in fat and sodium. You can add flavor to your popcorn by sprinkling some parmesan cheese or garlic powder on it. One mini-bag of low-fat popcorn has about 195 calories and three grams of fiber.
Yogurt is a great snack that can tame a sweet tooth. The best types of yogurts are the ones that are low-fat or fat-free. Yogurt supplies about 25 percent of the recommended daily value of calcium. Studies have shown that calcium can have a small effect on weight loss. You may also want to add granola bits to your yogurt. Granola is another excellent source of fiber.
Crunchy vegetables, such as celery, are some of the best workday snacks. Celery is very high in fiber and has virtually no calories. It is best to eat the celery plain, but if you want to use dip, you should use fat-free dressing. Guacamole and bean dip also make great dipping sauces.
Nuts have received a lot of negative attention because they are relatively high in fat. However, nuts contain monounsaturated fat, which is known as the healthy fat. Almonds, cashews and walnuts are some of the best types of nuts to consume. Because nuts are also high in calories, you should not eat more than a hand full of them.
Again, snacking is healthy and can actually help you lose weight. If you get the urge to snack during your workday, you should go ahead and give in to the temptation. Fiber One Bars, Popcorn, yogurt, celery and nuts are just a few of the delicious snacks that can help you reach your weight loss goals.

New Freedom of Information (FOI) figures reveal that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has received thousands of complaints relating to the WASPI (Women against state pension inequality) campaign, yet only six “WASPI investigations” have actually been seen through to completion.
Despite the DWP having set up a dedicated complaints team it has let down, and left without answers, thousands of teachers, nurses and many more women who the Scottish National Party (SNP) say were robbed of their expected pension due to unfair changes to their pensionable age.
This week’s UK budget saw the plight of 3.5 million WASPI women born in the 1950s ignored once again, say the SNP.
Commenting SNP MP Mhairi Black said: “With thousands of complaints flooding into the DWP from women who have been robbed of their state pension it is astonishing the Tories have only given six of these the courtesy of a response.
“This strikes at the heart of the sheer incompetence of this Tory government. Their dedicated complaints service is a complete sham, and it isn’t delivering for the 3.5 million WASPI women who deserve justice and fairness when it comes to their pensions.
“Theresa May managed to rustle up a billion pound bung for the DUP, so she could cling on to power.
“She found an extra £3 billion this week to dig her way out of the Brexit muddle she’s found herself in.
“But apparently she can’t find a single penny to give women the pensions that they are due.
“Not only has the Prime Minister failed to live up to her pledge to tackle the burning injustices in society – Theresa May is actually aggravating these injustices.
“And despite Scottish Tory MPs pledging support to WASPI women during the election campaign – since coming to office, the Scottish Tories have been AWOL on this issue. It’s pathetic.
“The Tories must act now to right an obvious wrong, and provide a decent transitional arrangement for WASPI women.”


While it's been widely rumored for a while now that the iPad 5 would get the iPad mini's thinner, lighter design this year, rumors about the iPad mini getting the full-sized iPad's Retina display have been split down the middle - some "yes", some "no", some simply "hope so". Daisuke Wakabayashi and Ian Sherr, however, seem to think it's a done deal. From the Wall Street Journal:
Apple is now readying a revamped iPad Mini with a high-resolution "retina" display. It's also working on a thinner, lighter version of its standard 9.7-inch iPad, using a thin film instead of the glass found in existing models, based on information from the company's parts suppliers.
Given the power of the Apple A7 chipset, it's unlikely there'll be the same "Retina tax" paid by the iPad 3, which always felt like it was running on redline. That debt's been paid off. What remains a challenge for both a lighter iPad 5 and a Retina iPad 2 is battery life. Apple historically hasn't been willing to ship a tablet with under 10 hours of battery life, even going so far as to slightly increase the thickness and weight of the full-sized iPad when it went Retina in 2012.
Those 2048x1536 pixel screens require a lot of backlight and a lot of GPU power to push around. Since battery chemistry isn't getting much better, Apple has to rely on everything else, including advances in lighting, screen technology, and processor architecture.
If Apple has succeeded in getting both the iPad 5 slimmed down, and the iPad mini 2 Retina'd up, it'll be interesting to see what breakthroughs they've had, and what compromises they've had to make.
We'll find out on October 22. In the meantime, anyone starting to believe?

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of brain caused by various factors which may vary according to the patient age. In epilepsy threshold for seizure generation get reduced. It may affect patient’s living and increases morbidity. Anti-epileptic drugs are given as mono or poly-therapy for seizure control. These anti-epileptics produce side-effects which are dose and duration of the treatment dependent. One of the important side effects is impact on cognitive function of the patient. However, some anti-epileptic medications also cause improvement in the cognitive function. Newer anti-epileptics are providing better compliance and impact as compared to older ones.
This review article provides details of impact of anti-epileptic drugs on cognitive functioning.

Here is the food segment of my Beijing Travel Series. Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
Beijing Roasted Duck
The roasted duck in Beijing is different than the ones I’d tasted growing up; duck in China has all fat removed, which is a much healthier alternative. The wraps are also thinner than the bread I am accustomed to.
Sweet and savory chicken, with a slight spicy tinge. It’s the closest thing to orange chicken here in the states. Kungpao chicken contains chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers.
Hailing from Sichuan province, Mapo tofu is spicy tofu drenched with red pepper sauce. There’s also minced beef mixed with the tofu.
Beef Noodle Soup
Being such a noodle fanatic, I was so excited to see practically every restaurant serve beef noodle soup. The name indicates what is in it, there’s Chinese noodles, vegetables (bok choy), stewed beef, and beef broth.
Did you know Zhajiangmian (in Korean Jajangmyeon) originated in China? Zhajiangmian are noodles drenched in bean-based sauce. There’s actually an extensive Chinese-Korean history entwined with this dish: see the Facebook video below for more information
Night markets are an integral part of Asian food culture. I went to the Wangfujing night market, which had different foods ranging from crab to sausages. Definitely check one out when you’re in the area!

Hydroponics: A Solution for Urban Farming In today's fast-paced and urbanized world, finding space and time to grow your own food can be a challenge. However, with the rise of hydroponics, urban farming has become more accessible and convenient than ever before. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water instead. This innovative and space-efficient solution is revolutionizing the way we think about gardening and sustainability. Imagine having a vibrant and thriving garden right in your own backyard, even in the heart of the city. The image above showcases the beauty and potential of hydroponics in an urban setting. The plants, including leafy greens, herbs, and tomatoes, are arranged neatly in rows, their roots suspended in nutrient-rich water. This compact and space-efficient hydroponic system is seamlessly integrated into a backyard deck, demonstrating how hydroponics can be easily incorporated into urban environments. One of the key advantages of hydroponics is its ability to maximize space. Traditional gardening requires large plots of land, but with hydroponics, you can grow a significant amount of produce in a small area. This makes it ideal for urban dwellers who may have limited space but still want to enjoy the benefits of homegrown food. Whether you have a small balcony, rooftop, or backyard, hydroponics can transform any space into a thriving garden. Another benefit of hydroponics is its water efficiency. Traditional gardening methods often require large amounts of water, which can be a precious resource in urban areas. Hydroponics, on the other hand, uses up to 90% less water than traditional soil-based gardening. The nutrient-rich water is recirculated through the system, minimizing waste and ensuring that every drop is used efficiently. This not only saves water but also reduces the environmental impact of gardening. Hydroponics also offers precise control over the growing conditions of your plants. With traditional gardening, factors such as soil quality, pH levels, and nutrient balance can be difficult to manage. In hydroponics, these variables can be easily controlled, resulting in healthier and more productive plants. This means you can grow a wide variety of crops, from leafy greens to herbs and even tomatoes, all year round. Getting started with hydroponics may seem daunting, but with the help of experts like Backyard Hydro, it can be a seamless and enjoyable process. They specialize in personalized system installations and offer expert guidance to ensure that your hydroponic garden thrives. They also provide nutrient supplies, so you have everything you need to get started. Hydroponics is not just a solution for urban farming; it is a solution for sustainable and accessible gardening. It empowers households to grow their own fresh and healthy produce, regardless of their location or space limitations. By embracing hydroponics, we can transform the way we think about food production and create a greener and more self-sufficient future. So why not join the hydroponic revolution and start growing your own urban garden today? With Backyard Hydro's expertise and innovative solutions, you can enjoy the benefits of homegrown food and contribute to a more sustainable world.

In defense of President Obama’s executive amnesty, the Department of Justice has argued in court that the policy is a proper exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It claims that by deferring action on millions of illegal aliens, the Department of Homeland Security can “focus limited resources on higher priority aliens,” namely those who pose “threats to national security, border security, and public safety.”
However, as Hans von Spakovsky explains, a report by DHS Inspector General John Roth undercuts the Justice Department’s contention. The report, published on May 4, finds that the DHS “does not gather and analyze prosecutorial discretion data. . .” Thus it does not have the ability “to fully assess its current immigration enforcement activities and to develop future policy.”
In other words, the DHS isn’t collecting the information needed to focus its enforcement efforts on the most dangerous illegal immigrants. Thus, it’s difficult to take seriously Team Obama’s claim that the executive amnesty is being granted to enable the DHS to focus on these illegal immigrants. If the administration had any intention of so focusing, presumably the DHS would be gathering the data with which to do so.
The administration’s “prosecutorial discretion” argument is also undercut by the fact that the DHS currently refuses to deport large numbers of illegal immigrants it knows have committed serious crimes in the U.S. Von Spakovsky points to information released by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee at a hearing on April 14, 2015. It shows that ICE let loose on the American public 36,000 convicted criminal aliens in fiscal year 2013 and 30,558 in fiscal year 2014.
The offenders released included ones with convictions “involving dangerous drugs, assault and domestic violence, stolen vehicles, robbery, sex offenses, sexual assault, kidnapping, voluntary manslaughter, and even homicide.” In fact, “27 percent of the aliens released were so called ‘level 1s’ according to the Administration – the worst of the worst.”
In sum, not only is the DHS not collecting the data needed to exercise prosecutorial discretion, but it is releasing tens of thousands of dangerous aliens with full knowledge of their criminal convictions and criminal history. That, says von Spakovsky, is prosecutorial indiscretion of the worst kind.
The administration might respond that, relieved of enforcing the law against ordinary illegal immigrants, it will be able to collect better data and improve its enforcement record against dangerous aliens. The argument would be implausible.
The IG’s report points out that during the past two years, the relevant organizations with the DHS have received collectively about $21 billion annually. It can hardly be the case that the agency lacks the resources to engage in basic data collection needed to exercise meaningful prosecutorial discretion.
It seems clear, instead, that the prosecutorial discretion argument is simply a pretext being used to justify President Obama’s desire to deliver amnesty by fiat to a millions of illegal immigrants for ideological and political reasons.

In Translational animal science
Assessment of swine semen quality is important as it is used as an estimate of the fertility of an ejaculate. There are many methods to measure sperm morphology, concentration, and motility, however, some methods require expensive instrumentation or are not easy to use on-farm. A portable, low-cost, automated device could provide the potential to assess semen quality in field conditions. The objective of this study was to validate the use of Fertile-Eyez (FE), a smartphone-based device, to measure sperm concentration, total motility, and morphology in boar ejaculates. Semen from six sexually mature boars were collected and mixed to create a total of 18 unique semen samples for system evaluations. Each sample was then diluted to 1:4, 1:8, 1:10, and 1:16 (for concentration only) with Androhep Plus semen extender (n = 82 total). Sperm concentration was evaluated using FE and compared to results measured using a Nucleocounter and computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA: Ceros II, Hamilton Thorne). Sperm motility was evaluated using FE and CASA. Sperm morphological assessments were evaluated by a single technician manually counting abnormalities and compared to FE deep-learning technology. Data were analyzed using both descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, intra-assay coefficient of variance, and residual standard deviation [RSD]) and statistical tests (correlation analysis between devices and Bland-Altman methods). Concentration analysis was strongly correlated (n = 18; r > 0.967; P < 0.0001) among all devices and dilutions. Analysis of motility showed moderate correlation and was significant when all dilutions are analyzed together (n = 54; r = 0.558; P < 0.001). The regression analysis for motility also showed the RSD as 3.95% between FE and CASA indicating a tight fit between devices. This RSD indicates that FE can find boars with unacceptable motility (boars for example with less than 70%) which impact fertility and litter size. The Bland-Altman analysis showed that FE-estimated morphological assessment and the conventionally estimated morphological score were similar, with a mean difference of ~1% (%95 Limits of Agreement: -6.2 to 8.1; n = 17). The results of this experiment demonstrate that FE, a portable and automated smartphone-based device, is capable of assessing concentration, motility, and morphology of boar semen samples.

Application Note: Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of β-carotene Using UPC2
6 October 2015
In this application note, fast separations of three common carotenoids by UPC2 in less than 2 minutes are describes. A quantitative analysis of β-carotene dietary supplement capsules is also demonstrated. Carotenoids are natural pigments synthesized by plants and some microorganisms. For animals and humans, carotenoids play an important role in vision. Carotenoids also act as important antioxidants with a preventative effect for various diseases. Since carotenoids cannot be synthesized de novo in the human body, humans need to acquire them through diet and supplements.

Read the blog below to find out how digitalisation can enable ingredients to be traced throughout their supply chain lifecycle to ensure unprecedented levels of control and visibility are enabled to achieve traceability, operational efficiency, and enhanced food safety.
Tracking technology is becoming more advanced and, as a result, is more accessible to consumers. For example, parcel tracking technology has evolved from drivers physically inputting parcel information to reliable real-time data being delivered to recipients at every step of their parcel’s journey.
However, there are some disparities in the evolution of such technologies depending on where it is applied. While we can track the movement of Amazon orders to the minute, there is substantially less information available for other supply chains, such as the movement of the food we eat. Yes, we can eagerly track a Deliveroo moped, but there is no information available about the food we consume before the point of purchase, for example, where the ingredients were sourced, how the product was stored etc. However, consumers are now becoming increasingly interested in sustainability, the origins of ingredients, and product traceability across production and transportation, as poor service levels and food safety issues attract both industry and consumer interest and destroy trust in current practices.
Essentially, customers now want to be assured of the quality and safety of their food. A good example of this is the use of The Red Tractor logo in the UK, where the symbol is printed on food packaging to signify to customers that the food and drink product in question has been certified to rigorous standards (purchased and sourced responsibly, safely produced etc).
Moreover, organisations within the supply chain now want flexibility, security and accountability across the chain in order to build a robust and future-proofed platform - a requirement that has come to the forefront after the supply landscape has been rocked over the past few years by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The fast-paced nature of the food supply industry means that supply and demand often become misaligned and can lead to huge amounts of both food and financial waste, and businesses across the chain must look to work in tandem in order to drive efficiencies, increase productivity and reduce waste.
The answer? A combined effort of technologies that not only provides safety and quality assurance for the food we eat by providing clarity and effective traceability of our ingredients from farm to fork, but that also increases supply productivity and reduces waste through higher visibility and management of demand, production and machine performance.
By leveraging technologies that can collect and manage billions of real-time data points from machines, sensors and tags across the supply chain, valuable insights can be established, such as temperature data or location information. This enables ingredients to be traced throughout their supply chain lifecycle. These technologies also monitor and manage the performance and health of supply chain assets, such as refrigeration and HVAC, and drive automations and actions to ensure optimum settings and performance levels to enhance and protect the safety and quality of food, including driving predictive and preventative maintenance regimes and optimum temperature set point management. Essentially, by bringing the supply chain into the digital world, unprecedented levels of control and visibility are enabled to achieve traceability, operational efficiency, and enhanced food safety.
This digitisation of goods and tracking everything from movement to temperature and storage sounds incredibly technical and expensive. However, technologies, such as IMS Evolve’s, drastically lower the barrier for bringing physical environments into the digital world. By being able to connect to existing machines and infrastructure without the requirement for upgraded or additional hardware, all agents within the supply chain, regardless of size or technological maturity, will be able to leverage such solutions to achieve outcomes.
Alongside a cross-industry consortium, IMS Evolve’s IoT technology recently provided end-to-end traceability of ingredients in the production of a pre-packaged sandwich in a live demonstration of the first ever ‘Digital Sandwich’. The government-backed project, aptly named ‘The Digital Sandwich project’, aims to use IoT technology to add a ‘digital layer’ to the supply chain to bring disparate systems and siloed organisations into one, standardised platform so that suppliers, retailers and customers can all validate the safety and provenance of a product, while supporting the supply chain organisations to improve productivity and reduce food waste.
The technology deployed will be gathering and monitoring product data, from temperature points to location information, all the way from farm through to production and packaging. All products and its ingredient components exist in the digital space.
The data collected can then be monitored and combined in real-time, so that the full data sets can be viewed holistically to provide a conclusive oversight of a products journey and conditions, instantly improving knowledge, communication, and efficiency and enabling chains to tackle common supply challenges more effectively, such as the bullwhip effect, trading uncertainties and labour shortages.
Once leading organisations begin driving digitalisation (e.g. the government enforcing guidance and legislation, or retailers relying on stricter standards for suppliers) it’s likely that the UK food supply chain will experience a digital transformation similar to that in the package delivery sector. Consequently, providing customers with the provenance of food will become a necessity to successfully compete with other outlets, as consumers will increasingly expect real time ‘farm to pack’ information about all the food products they buy.

Infertility Can Be Treated Like Any Other Disease
Staff Report ,
Australian Concept Infertility Medical Center (ACIMC), established with the Australian technical collaboration, has been at the forefront of fertility treatment technology in Pakistan. It is in 14th year of its operation and has been consistently recording positive results for the patients comparable to the best IVF centers in the world.
Dr.Syed Sajjad Hussain, Managing Director, ACIMC, spoke on various issues relating to fertility treatment in the following interview.
What is infertility?
Infertility can be defined as failure to have babies. It is a condition of the reproductive system often diagnosed after a couple has had one year of unprotected, well-timed intercourse, or if the woman has suffered from multiple miscarriages. Infertility can be broken down into (i) male factor (40 per cent); (ii) female factor (40 per cent); and (iii) combination of the two or unexplained infertility (20 per cent). Infertility is tested, diagnosed and treated like any other disease. In some cases, it can be prevented; in others, it cannot be.

I feel horrible being so late with the updates, but a lot of stuff happened this weekend and I’m gonna to have to take a very short break to get some rest. Look for the update Wednesday night!
Okay, who here knows about the short anime film Little Witch Academia by Trigger (a fairly new anime animation studio)? Mr. Wax pointed me in the direction of the film and it is seriously Harry Potter and The Worst Witch rolled into one adorable and amazingly animated bubble! It’s projects like this that get me exactly (and it was refreshing to watch an anime with an all female cast with not one panty shot!) and I hope to see more from this studio in the future!


Computer languages can seem difficult and intimidating, but they don’t have to be!
We have all heard the phrase, “too much too soon,” which certainly applies to learning how to code. When you first get introduced to coding, you are hit with a lot of terms and new theoretical concepts that can be really intimidating and make you want to throw in the towel.
Two other key things to consider before diving in:
After web browsers were created, they were lacking a way to make them more interactive, so web designers got to work and created a coding language that would accomplish just that. They designed a language that could do these functions:
Phase 1: In this phase, you are learning the syntax and the terms objects, arrays, functions, etc.
Phase 2: In this phase, you are now comfortable with the basics and will start learning methods provided by the DOM (Document Object Model). This will teach you how to build things from scratch. Practice building simple things and feel free to copy and paste code as long as you write your component from scratch afterward to understand how it all works.
Phase 3: You are now comfortable building things from scratch and anything DOM related; it may be messy, but at least you are doing it. It is now time to perfect your skill by using resources from more experienced coders. Build and rebuild your previous creations, clean it up, and make it perfect. You will now want to incorporate OOP (Object Oriented Programming) and FP (Functional Programming) and APIs (Application Programming Interface).
Now that you see the process, let’s talk about what happens if you get stuck. It’s actually a lot easier than you may think. Thankfully there are tons of courses, many with live teachers to answer your questions, online resources, youtube videos, and chat rooms. Do not be afraid to ask questions, or take a break if you get too frustrated. There’s a lot of help available to your child when they enroll in a live online program, so don’t worry, someone’s got your back if you just ask!
Tip 1: Scratch is a block-based visual program perfect for very young kids to get familiar with the coding language, terms, and the idea of using the codes to create. Kids quickly get the hang of it and can start sharing their creations with the online community.
Tip 3: Help your child visualize what they are doing by relating the concepts to things they are already familiar with.
Tip 4: This is a journey with no end in sight; there will always be more to learn and more challenging concepts, so let your child work at their own pace, pick fun projects, and take breaks.
Tip 5: Pick a fun project like building a drone, robot, or creating an interactive webpage. The more engaged and excited your child is, the more motivated they will be to learn how to code properly.
We hope your child will fall in love with creating something from nothing, having a skill that can benefit them for the rest of their life, and maybe even get their friends into it as well.
Coding does not have to be boring and hard, and we hope your child will be able to grasp the concepts quickly and get to have fun with it.
Get started with UCode today and explore all the different online coding classes for kids that we have to offer!

Ghosts of a Kind - poetry month contribution
Here is my contribution to April's Poetry Month. This is a castle I visited often when I lived in Germany as this was located about an hour by car from where I lived. It was built during the middle ages and sits in the Spessart woods of Germany. The original family, many generations since then, still lives here and they share it with the public every summer.
Ghosts mingle as
laughter twinkles down the hallways
of my Castle
Remembrances float by
Bringing back memories
so treasured and sure
Once upon a time
through the eyes of Ghosts

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2018 — Michael J. Gonring, director of the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee and formerly a partner at Quarles & Brady LLP, is the 2018 recipient of the John H. Pickering Award of Achievement, presented by the American Bar Association Senior Lawyers Division. Gonring will be recognized at the Senior Lawyers Division annual Pickering Award dinner at the Union League Club of Chicago at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2, during the ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago.
The award honors the life and accomplishments of John H. Pickering, co-founder of the Washington, D.C. law firm then known as Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering (now WilmerHale), who was involved in a variety of pro bono activities and law-related societal issues affecting the elderly. It recognizes lawyers or judges who demonstrate outstanding legal ability; and have compiled a distinguished record of service to the profession and their communities, resulting in significant contributions to improving access to justice for all.
"Mike Gonring, through his pro bono and legal services activities, exemplifies John Pickering’s commitment to equal justice for all,” said Brooksley Born, chair, 2018 Pickering Selection Committee.
Gonring spent 28 years as a litigation partner and six as an associate with Quarles & Brady LLP. He has held varied legal roles and served as the National Pro Bono coordinator and the assistant practice group leader. Gonring has mentored and inspired attorneys to respond to the needs of the community and commit to consistent pro bono activities.
Recently, Gonring recruited lawyers to assist Milwaukee’s immigrant community to respond to the increased immigration enforcement efforts and deportations.
As pro bono coordinator, he led various programs involving legal representation to victims of domestic violence, death row inmates who appealed convictions and asylum seekers. Quarles & Brady LLP, created an award in his honor, the Michael Gonring Pro Bono Award (The Gonring Award) for his “longstanding pro bono leadership and commitment to justice for the poor.” Following his retirement, Gonring continued to represent victims in domestic abuse court and volunteered at legal clinics. He started a legal clinic for undocumented individuals at the Mexican Consulate in Milwaukee. He was appointed director of the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee last year.
Considered an inspiration by many Wisconsin lawyers, Gonring, 70, is dedicated to helping those who are poor and disadvantaged. He has built pathways for lawyers and law students to serve the legal needs of the most vulnerable in society, which includes the creation of a Mobile Legal Clinic project, which offers several legal clinics a month and is staffed by various firms and volunteer lawyers.
A former Milwaukee Journal sportswriter and Marquette University sports information director, Gonring is a graduate of Marquette University Law School. He received his JD in 1982. He received his BA, cum laude, from Marquette University College of Journalism in 1969.

The Bottom Line: One of the year’s most memorable heroes embarks on a high-velocity quest to save the only woman he’s ever cared about. Leon’s jaw-dropping courage in a world of sleaze and unimaginable danger is pure magic.
“I know this letter will hurt you.” So begins the suicide letter that opens Brett Garcia Rose’s latest novel, Noise. Written by a woman named Lily to her brother, Leon, it’s a punch in the gut – precisely because the two are so close – that Leon isn’t willing to accept without proof.
Denial is the driving force that sends Leon, a deaf adoptee from Nigeria, on a mission to find his sister. Early on, we learn that despite Leon’s having lost track of Lily’s whereabouts, he doesn’t believe that she could be capable of killing herself. He interprets the suicide letter as a cry for help, and as anyone standing in his way finds, Leon’s level of motivation is nothing short of lethal.
Leon is a large man who rips out tree trunks for a living and drives a monster truck. And yet the first time he’s confronted with a weapon – while pursuing down his only clue in a tawdry house of ill-repute – his deafness is the very thing that disarms his would-be attacker and saves him.
While Garcia Rose has created a classic quest thriller, he’s no less devoted to the art of wordsmithing. Noise features some of the most lush language you’ll find in the genre, at times resembling the carefully crafted prose of Cormac McCarthy.
From the start, it’s quite clear that Leon isn’t going to like what he finds in his journey, and we’re soon introduced to The Bear, a sadistic Russian crime lord who traffics in human flesh.
But the only direction Leon can go his forward, and that’s exactly what will keep you turning the pages.
