Palm Beach Dramaworks 'Satchmo at the Waldorf'
Palm Beach Dramaworks closes out its sixteenth season with Terry Teachout's funny and moving 'Satchmo at the Waldorf,' in which the legendary Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong reminisces about and ruminates on his extraordinary life and career just months before his death in 1971.
This production marks Teachout's debut as a director. 'Satchmo at the Waldorf' opened to great reviews at the Don & Ann Brown Theatre May 13 and continues through June 12 at the West Palm Beach theater.
There is no live music in this critically acclaimed, dramatic play.
Teachout, who is also the author of a biography on Armstrong, describes the piece as 'a work of fiction freely based on fact.' The show is set in Satchmo's dressing room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, following a performance (the actual site of Satchmo's last gig).
As Armstrong talks into a tape recorder about his eventful life, he reveals the complex man behind the unpretentious public persona.
Central to the play is his relationship with Joe Glaser, his white manager and the derision he faced from a segment of the black community, embodied in the person of Miles Davis, for 'kissing up to the white man' with his familiar grin and ever-present hankie. One actor plays all three roles.
'Satchmo at the Waldorf' stars Barry Shabaka Henley, who previously appeared in a Chicago production of the play. Scenic design is by Michael Amico, costume design is by Erin Amico, lighting design is by Kirk Bookman, and sound design is by Matt Corey.
Terry Teachout is the drama critic of The Wall Street Journal, the critic-at-large of Commentary, and the author of 'Sightings,' a biweekly column for the Thursday Journal about the arts in America. He also writes about the arts on his blog, About Last Night. 'Satchmo at the Waldorf,' his first play, premiered in 2011 in Orlando and has since been produced off-Broadway and throughout the United States.
• The performance schedule is as follows:
Evening performances are Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., and select Sundays at 7 p.m. Matinee performances are on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2 p.m. Wednesday matinees and Sunday evenings include a post-performance discussion.
Palm Beach Dramaworks is a nonprofit, professional theater and is a member of the Theatre Communications Group, the South Florida Theatre League, Florida Professional Theatres Association, and the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County.
Individual tickets are $64, with specially priced preview tickets at $44 and Opening Night tickets at $79. Student tickets are available for $10; tickets for educators are half price with proper ID (other restrictions apply). Group rates for 20 or more and discounted season subscriptions are also available.

What is it?
Software Defined Storage ("SDS") refers to the virtualization of storage systems, whereby the underlying storage hardware is abstracted from the storage software that manages it. SDS can be an element with a Software Defined Data Center or it can also function as a stand-alone technology. The software enabling the storage-defined storage environment may also provide policy management for features such as data de-duplication, replication, thin provisioning, snapshots and backup.
Why do you need it?
Since a Software Defined Storage system virtualizes and abstracts the hardware on which it is based, capacity and performance can more easily be added or upgraded, especially without causing downtime to the storage system. The hardware can also be distributed over different locations. Storage capacity of different devices and locations can be combined into a central resource "pool", which can be utilized as needed.
An SDS platform is also designed to work on commodity x86 hardware, allowing flexibility to be used on a range of different hardware types and systems and ensuring there is no vendor "lock-in" – previous hardware based storage systems were very vendor specific, and the user had very little control over the cost and capacity of purchasing and upgrading this hardware. Many SDS platforms are also based on open source software, which are continuously being refined and updated by a large community of users, and also ensure wide compatibility with different hardware, OS and other software programs, and feature open programmable APIs for comprehensive integration and workflow automation with other applications.
Who needs it?
Software Defined Storage is ideal to be used as part of a broader virtualized computing environment, such as an on-premises private cloud. Since SDS virtualizes physical resources and contains features such as thin provisioning and de-duplication as well as being highly scalable (users can simply "add-on" capacity as needed and don’t need to invest in extra unneeded capacity months or years ahead of time) , it is excellent at maximizing resource utilization efficiency while minimizing the cost of installation and expanding capacity. Therefore, organizations that wish to reduce both their capital and operational expenses are encouraged to look at a SDS system to replace their legacy storage infrastructure.
How is GIGABYTE helpful?
GIGABYTE is currently collaborating with several software defined storage platform vendors, including Bigtera (VirtualStor) and Alcestor / Tuxera (MooseFS), offering a range of turnkey storage appliances (combing SDS software as well as GIGABYTE server hardware) to meet a variety of different performance, capacity and cost requirements.

Beijing to invest nearly 120 mln USD in live pig industry
Source: Xinhua (China)|Editor: Mu Xuequan
BEIJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Beijing plans to invest 850 million yuan (119.82 million U.S. dollars) in the live pig industry over the next three years, the city's bureau of finance said Thursday.
The investment will focus on upgrading and rebuilding the pig farms, according to the bureau.
The city also plans to invest 150 million yuan in dung disposal every year and provide guaranteed loans to pig farms, it said.
China's pig supply had shrunk substantially due to multiple factors including African swine fever and the higher costs of pig breeding, which pushed up pork prices.
Chinese authorities Thursday...
Xi Jinping and the pork crisis
In the Year of the Pig, the price of pork grew by 46.7% until August. Fears for the economy and inflation. Many people point to Xi Jinping as the person responsible for this crisis: to counter the US, he opened to meat imports from Russia, known to be the most affected by swine fever. In a year at least 200 million animals were killed or died from illness. Sale of meat from strategic reserves.
by Wang Zhicheng, AsiaNews.it
Beijing (AsiaNews) - According to some observers, the biggest concern of President Xi Jinping is not the war on duties with the US, nor the Hong Kong demonstrations, but the increasingly high price of pork.
In 2019 - precisely in the Year of the Pig - the price of pork has grown by 46.7% until August, causing a three-point increase in the consumer price index, with a relative influence on inflation. The pig-related industry contributes 128 billion US dollars to the national economy and constitutes 60% of the Chinese meat diet.
For over a year in the country there has been an epidemic of African swine fever. Started with an infection of cattle on a farm near the Russian border, it has now spread to all 31 provinces of China, decreeing death by disease or extermination of over 200 million pigs, almost half of the animals bred in Country.
Many people point to Xi Jinping as responsible for this crisis. To avoid all dialogue on the trade war with the US, the president has preferred to impose taxes on pork coming from the USA (second producer in the world, after China) and open to imports from Russia, known to be the most affected by swine fever.
To avoid heightened tensions over rising pork prices, yesterday the government decided to sell 10 thousand tons of frozen pork from its strategic reserves at auction.
China created a strategic pork reserve in 2007, but its extent is unknown.
The pig is a symbol of well-being: the ideogram of "home" is designed like a pig under a roof. Somehow, if pork is missing, you can't be happy. At the feast of October 1st, for the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, the population will be able to witness one of the largest military parades, with ultra modern "made in China” weapons, but perhaps it will not have pork on the table.
Women in China fight over last piece of discounted pork
Yoyo Chow, South China Morning Post (China)
September 20, 2019
A group of women in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region was filmed fighting over the last piece of discounted pork at a market.

"It's not all about grades": accounting for gendered degree results in geography at Brunel University
FIONA SMITH, Brunel University Department of Geography and Earth Sciences UK
ABSTRACT This paper explores the results of an 18-month study at Brunel University that aimed to explain the significant gendered differences in academic performance amongst geography students. Male students are doing considerably less well than their female peers, being awarded far fewer first class and upper second class degrees, a phenomenon that cannot be accounted for by A-level entry grades. This paper draws on interviews with students which suggest that differences in achievement are explained by the fact that males and females perform the role of student in very different ways. While females are generally performing the role of hard-working, dedicated and focused student, males seem to be identifying with a 'macho' culture that glorifies sporting prowess and socializing at the expense of academic study.

Transborder tourism, borderless classroom: reflections on a Hawaii-Singapore experience
The challenges of 'teaching by being': the case of participatory resource management
C. CHANG, National University of Singapore Department of Geography, Singapore
ABSTRACT This paper discusses a virtual or borderless classroom exercise conducted by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Hawaii, Manoa (UHM). By reflecting on the experiences and views of the NUS participants, the article explores the possibility of virtual explorations as a substitute for conventional fieldtrips and fieldwork. The findings reveal that online interactions and experiences simulate some of the processes and outcomes of traditional field explorations. Online exercises also permit cross-country collaboration and trans-cultural dialogue between students in two campuses. On the other hand, virtual exchanges are limited by their static two-dimensional medium when contrasted with conventional fieldtrips, which provide multi-sensory experiences that better allow participants to understand a foreign environment, society and culture.

Midnight at the IDL: student confusion and textbook error
KIM S. UHLIK, Kent State University School of Exercise, Leisure, and Sport, USA
ABSTRACT Students completing a time calculation exercise identified the International Date Line (IDL) as a conceptual source of confusion and poor performance. From the early 1950s to the present, various geography textbooks have promulgated misstatements involving the occurrence of midnight at the IDL. This condition's persistence and ubiquity manifests a widespread fundamental misunderstanding, providing an opportunity to (a) illuminate the low level of student success when solving an IDL-influenced problem, (b) present an overview of textbook error, (c) explore how the evolution of the standard time system led to IDL errors in geography textbooks, and (d) offer proof dispelling these misconceptions.

Mathophobic students' perspectives on quantitative material in the undergraduate geography curriculum
ANDREW M. FOLKARD, Lancaster University Department of Geography, UK
ABSTRACT Results are presented of a series of focus-group sessions held at Lancaster University during May 2002. Participants consisted of 12 undergraduate geography students chosen from amongst those identified as having strong antipathy towards quantitative material. The intention was to mine these students' perspectives on courses covering quantitative techniques in geography degrees, in order to deduce ways of making such courses more effective. Primary findings included a need for (i) textual equivalents of algebraic equations; (ii) vivid and relevant examples; (iii) thorough explanation of all mathematical jargon; (iv) face-to-face tutorials; and (v) worked examples and exercises as stepping stones to more advanced, problem-based learning type approaches to assessment.

Fieldwork and disabled students: discourses of exclusion and inclusion
TIM HALL, Geography and Environmental Management Research Unit, University of Gloucestershire UK
MICK HEALEY, Geography and Environmental Management Research Unit, University of Gloucestershire UK
MARGARET HARRISON, Geography and Environmental Management Research Unit, University of Gloucestershire UK
ABSTRACT Disabled students from a significant but under represented minority in higher education in the UK. Participation appears to be particularly low in disciplines that contain a fieldwork component. Fieldwork has been recognized as a barrier to the participation of disabled students. This paper emphasizes a critical perspective on fieldwork, highlighting the way in which fieldcourses as currently conceived, enacted and experienced, can exclude disabled students. It discusses a survey of the experiences of providing learning support to disabled students undertaking fieldwork in geography, earth and environmental science departments in the UK. It also considers the various ways in which the images, spaces, practices and cultures of fieldwork may exclude or marginalize disabled students and the different ways in which fieldwork may be made more inclusive.

Teaching about political violence: a primer on representation
CAROLYN GALLAHER, School of International Service, American University USA
ABSTRACT Geography is not generally viewed as a 'source' discipline for political violence studies, but this paper begins with the presumption that geography is well disposed to teach courses on the subject. The key purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that engaging issues of political violence is useful for our pedagogy. In particular, teaching about political violence allows geography to address concerns arising from the 'crisis of representation'. It does so in two ways. First, it provides another venue for teaching about the 'the other' and 'othered places' in our curricula. Second, it also allows geography to challenge uncritical tropes about political violence as emerging from some peoples and places and not others. As a case study this paper overviews a course entitled Militia Movements in Comparative Perspective. This course was organized around a theoretical unit and four case study units. The case conflicts were chosen to represent conflicts that crossed ideological (right/left) and geographical (Global North/Global South) divides. The course structure is overviewed and a classroom discussion that highlighted questions about representation is described and analysed. The paper concludes by reviewing current efforts to address violence in the discipline, noting problems with these efforts, and suggesting alternatives to them.
KEYWORDS Political Violence, Militias, Representation.
Teaching transnationalism in the Caribbean: toward an understanding of representation and neo-colonialism in human geography
SUSAN P. MAINS, Department of Geography and Geology, University of the West Indies-Mona Jamaica
ABSTRACT Undergraduate geography courses provide a significant entry way into representing and challenging dominant images of places and identities. Teaching geography in the Caribbean raises significant issues in terms of providing materials that explore representations of places and topics that are grounded in the region, while also moving beyond representations of islands as simply 'Third World', separate and distant. The author draws on the case study of teaching human geography courses at the University of the West Indies-Mona, to explore the usefulness of transnationalism as a pedagogical framework--in conjunction with the use of films and fieldtrips--while examining processes of representation and neo-colonialism.
KEYWORDS Transnationalism, Representation, Critical Pedagogy, Caribbean, Identity.
Scaling health and healthcare: re-presenting Thailand's HIV/AIDS epidemic with world regional geography students
VINCENT J. DEL CASINO Jr, California State University Department of Geography, Long Beach USA
ABSTRACT Authors of world regional geography textbooks have recently become more interested in the broader theoretical changes that have emerged in human geography. Relying on feminist and other critical perspectives, concepts such as space, place and scale are being re-imagined in this 'new world regional geography'. This paper intervenes on behalf of a more critical world regional geography by suggesting how world regional geography teachers can educate students about scale as a social construction through the use of empirical data. Relying on fieldwork conducted in Thailand, this paper lays out a lesson on the HIV/AIDS crisis and how different representations of that crisis, from the national to the individual, offer different 'ways of knowing' the epidemic. Furthermore, this paper examines how we can push students to consider the ways in which scales of analysis are constructed and constituted through our own geographic practices.
KEYWORDS Scale, World Regional Geography, HIV/AIDS, Thailand.
Research design and methods of data collection and analysis: researching students' conceptions in a multiple-method case study
NICK HOPWOOD, University of Oxford Department of Educational Studies, UK
ABSTRACT Three techniques were used in a multiple-method case study to explore students' conceptions of geography within a qualitative framework, employing aspects of phenomenology, ethnography and grounded theory. The context of the research is briefly outlined, and then the methodological framework and nature of the data yielded are discussed in more detail. Aspects of analytical procedures are considered as are strengths and weaknesses of the research design, with an emphasis on triangulation and arriving at valid and reliable interpretations relating to the complex area of students' conceptions. A summative checklist relating to multiple-method design in similar contexts is provided.
KEYWORDS Design, Qualitative Methods, Data Collection, Triangulation.

TUESDAY TOTAL MILES TRAVELED TODAY:O NM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!
Image via WikipediaWe had a totally peaceful night in our isolated little hideaway, waking to the sun peeking over the trees and the green heron squawking to its mate.
After a few more chores around the boat we took off on the island’s 3 mile nature walk.The small area covered much in the way of diverse flora with everything from palms, to pines and oak trees.The fauna was lacking until a huge snake (at least 6 ft) slithered across our path.Woke me right up! Neil later told us it was a Coach Whip snake. As we veered off the nature trail towards the beach we spied a pond with Roseate Spoonbills, Snowy Egrets, Blue Herons and ducks. We ended our trek on the beach, watching the aggravated waves rushing in.
Our best wildlife sighting was the large tortoise lazily wandering at on the lawn at the office.We humans didn’t seem to alarm him at all as he munched on the grass and weeds.
THE RESIDENT TORTOISE
Dan made contact with Jim Gilmore today and, lucky for us, he is in St. Petersburg this week.We hope to meet him for dinner tomorrow, schedules and winds willing.
We are so happy that we made the journey across the Gulf when we did because the winds are now blowing strong.We are well protected back in our burrow but it would have been a wild ride on the big water today.
THE "LOOPERS" ON DOCK "D"
Cocktails were on Quest this evening and I had made Squivot’s yummy sausage cheese balls.They were a hit with all!Two boats left today and only one came in to join us.It is such a serene setting with the beach just a half mile walk and birds serenading (or yelling) all around us.

Brand new editions of BIG Daddy's best-selling titles are back again this year, including the hunks seen in the pages of Playgirl magazine, the muscular rugged men from gay studio Raging Stallion Studios and the big hairy studs from photographer bubbaclicks in Bear Men.
“With four of the six BIG Daddy titles we published last year selling out, the decision to expand this adult calendar line was very easy,” Village Lighthouse President Ron Miller said.
“Since launching BIG Daddy as an adult greeting card and magnet company in 2006, there has been a continuously growing demand and positive response from consumers,” he said. “Our customers began asking for more and more new products from BIG Daddy [that] featured its edgy and sexy adult imagery.
“Photography from industry leaders such as Playgirl, Rascal Video, Falcon Studios and Raging Stallion Studios has been invaluable to our success, and we are proud to announce the addition of the work of BangBangBoys.com, Joe Oppedisano, Tom Bianchi and Foto by Michio. ”
The sexy men from the popular website BangBangBoys.com are featured in two new titles — Skin and Naked & Exposed. Skin shows how the exotic, hung studs of South America cool off on long, hot summer days. Naked & Exposed reveals what hot young fraternity guys do when they are not studying.
Other new titles include Street Fight from photographer Oppedisano — this intense calendar takes fans into a fantasy of witnessing an undercover erotic fighting club filled with hot men taking out their aggressions on each other — and Bianchi Men, featuring the new work from gay photographer Bianchi. Out of the Studio, a limited-edition calendar of Bianchi's classic photography of male camaraderie, is being released by Provocateur along with the BIG Daddy titles in late May.
Two additional calendars featuring Oppedisano's photography are being released by 10 percent, a division of Village Lighthouse. The bestselling calendar Athletes is back for a second year and features incredibly sexy jocks. Knockout! features amazing photography of hot mixed-martial-arts sportsmen.
The accompanying film “Knockout!” takes viewers behind the scenes of Oppedisano's photo shoot at the world famous Gleason's Gym in New York. The DVD will be released on May 20.
For those with a hearty appetite, BIG Daddy now offers a brand new calendar featuring extra large men entitled XXL Men with photography by Foto by Michio. Another calendar hoping to satisfy customers’ tastes for unmanicured rugged men is Bear Men, a 2008 bestseller, which features all new hot and hunky bears.

Private rental prices paid by tenants in the UK are gradually increasing, especially in England, according to the latest Index of Private Housing Rental Prices (IPHRP) published by Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Private rental prices paid by tenants in the UK rose by 1.3 per cent in the 12 months to May 2019. London private rental prices also increased by 0.9 per cent in the 12 months to May 2019, indicating stability in the private rental market.
The (IPHRP) measures the change in the price tenants face when renting residential property from private landlords. It is one of the lead indicators of the UK rental market.
Growth in private rental prices paid by tenants in the UK has generally slowed since the beginning of 2016, driven mainly by a slowdown in London over the same period. This has been attributed to Brexit and its impact on the housing sector. However, rental growth started to pick since the end of 2018, driven by strengthening growth in London.
If London is excluded, then rental prices for the UK increased by 1.5 per cent in the 12 months to May 2019. Though house price growth was impacted significantly by Brexit, the private rental market, however, remained stable. Focusing on the long-term trend, between January 2015 and May 2019, private rental prices increased by 7.6 per cent in the UK.
Private rental prices paid by tenants in the UK rose by 1.3% in the 12 months to May 2019, up from 1.2% in April 2019.

Retailer participation will be vital to secure support from MPs for a crackdown on crime, according to a recent All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) meeting.
The APPG on retail crime, safe and sustainable high streets met on 6 September, and was chaired by MP Steve McCabe. It marked the first time the group had met since the AGM in June.
Discussing the importance of raising awareness of crime, MP Ian Paisley said it was “good to get it back on the agenda”, praising home secretary Suella Braverman’s latest pledge that she will “not tolerate violence and abuse against any shopworker”.
In a bid to take action, members of the group confirmed they intended to host an event for retailers to share their experiences with MPs and highlight the seriousness of the issue, as well as lobby for support.
As a result, retailers will be called upon to provide evidence, including police reports and CCTV. “It is certainly worth putting something like this together,” said McCabe. “This would be an important way to get more MPs talking about retail crime and raising its profile.”

City of London police superintendent Patrick Holdaway supported the move. “The issue of retail crime is frequently underestimated. More recently, it has been written off as a consequence of the cost-of-living crisis, but it’s been going on for years,” he said. “It’s organised and planned, and we need to help retailers dealing with it.”
Owner of a DIY store in Smethwick in Birmingham Surinder Josan went on to explain the challenges in reporting crime, and stressed the need for simple reporting. “For low-level crime, there needs to be an easier way to report it,” she said.
Holdaway agreed, claiming of the reports the police see, only around 5% relate to retail crime, making it “diffi-cult to identify prolific offenders”.
Paisley said that although “these meetings are helpful, it’s important to have some action flowing from them”.
He added: “I’ve had people from across the UK get in touch with me over the past couple of months, sharing the experiences they’ve had with crime.”
McCabe also discussed the potential “opportunity for retailers” to host roundtables within their local areas, to help strike up relationships with police officers and concerned parties. “We can look into how we can help retailers,” he added.

Kuta Beach can be the most popular beach in Bali but recently Geger Beach name in Bali is getting famous due to the visit of King Salman from Saudi Arabia. The king has some reasons for visiting this beach instead of the more iconic beach in Bali. However, you do not have to be a king to enjoy this beach. You can be like a king by visiting Geger beach. Here are the reasons.
Bali is well known for the free access to various beautiful beaches spread on the island. You do not have to pay a lot to enjoy the great view and interesting activities at the beach including at Geger beach. You only need to spend 3,000 rupiahs for parking their vehicle in the beach area. If you stay at the hotel next to the beach, the entrance to the beach is included in the facility offered by the hotel.
Beach is not the only attraction which can be found at this beach because you can also fulfill your appetite anytime they feel hungry after playing at the beach. Various culinary destinations can be found along the shore. The cafes can be a great place for hanging out with friends. You can also have a taste for the cocktails. Anytime you want to enjoy the delicious main course, you can find the restaurant which offers the traditional menus served in five stars standard. What a great experience to have delicious dinner with beach view.
Water activities surely become the strong point of this beach which you must not miss. Of course, you can always enjoy a great time sunbathing at the beach but when you think it is enough for enjoying the beautiful view of the beach, you can try to jump into the water. It is too common for swimming because, at this beach, you can challenge your adrenaline by jet skiing. This beach is not that crowded compared to Kuta so you are free to play until sunset.
If white sand is something you are looking for from the beach, you make the right decision by visiting Geger beach. The beach stretches pretty long and all covered with white sand. It is not too crowded so you will not see any trash along the shore. White sand combined with calm blue water will send the relaxing vibe to anyone visiting it.
You want to be like King Salman riding the camel at the desert but you do not have to visit the desert first because camel riding experience can be found at Geger beach. Yes, you can really enjoy the beach trip like a king since you will ride the camel while served with super beautiful beach view in Bali.
Bali trip cannot be separated from the sunrise hunting. Viewing the sunrise at the beach in Bali will be an unforgettable experience but sunrise view cannot be seen at any beach. The good point is that you can watch the sunrise at Geger beach. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s enjoy king beach trip.


A short JK Rowling spot gives way to some bedtime nightmare scenes, calmed by salvoes of Mary Poppinses, descending from the heavens under their umbrellas. Kids are being tucked into glowing beds. Mr Oldfield is still playing. The central vast image was briefly a baby just now. Truly surreal.
From Mike Oldfield to conductor Simon Rattle, and the London Symphony Orchestra, to play music from the classic, Vangelis-themed Chariots of Fire. The film tells of a Jewish sprinter’s struggle to overcome anti-Semitism, set around the 1924 Paris Games. It has just been re-released in British cinemas as an adaptation comes to the stage.
And just when you relax, Danny Boyle gives us Rowan Atkinson, playing with the Orchestra one-fingered while pfaffing with his iPhone. Beijing 2008, this is not.
Rowan purports to have been the key musician in that section, much to Rattle’s comedic dismay.
Very British film clips now — short scenes with inside jokes like the scene of the weatherman — the unfortunate Michael Fish — who failed to predict a hurricane. 80s music; clips from Fawlty Towers; Blackadder. A section celebrating British soap operas. All of this unfolding at fast pace in what Boyle apparently wants us to feel could be any British home.

Preschool / Early Intervention
Preschools that serve children with developmental disabilities are paid significantly less than it costs to operate them; the state reimburses these programs at 94 percent of allowable cost and even less of actual cost. Chapters of The Arc New York can no longer subsidize preschool programs without endangering other OPWDD related programs.
In addition, due to the teacher compensation gap between special education schools and public schools, we also continue to have extraordinary teacher recruitment and retention challenges.
Preschools need appropriate growth factors and tuition rate increases along with other fiscal support to bring reimbursement more closely in line with the cost of operations.
Research shows that investing in preschool programs has a significant return on investment.
We advocate for the following to support and sustain preschool and early intervention opportunities for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities:
- provide a 4% tuition increase for special education schools in 2018-19 school year;
- include statutory index for annual tuition increases for 4410 preschools and 853 special education schools, and establish a reserve fund to maintain fiscal viability;
- provide $18 million for special education schools to narrow the teacher compensation gap;
- set aside Universal Pre-school (UPK) seats to ensure classroom integration with 4410 special education preschools; and
- provide a 4% Early Intervention rate increase to address 20+ years of flat/decreasing rates.

Ski.Run.Bike .... that's the tag line on every CyclovaXC business card and decal we've ever created. It's who we are and why we exist. But how often can you do those things together -- one right after the other? And how often do you get the chance to compete against the best in the nation in these awesome activities?
Welcome to the King Boreas Winter Triathlon to be held on January 29th -- just one month away! Once again this St. Paul Winter Carnival event has been selected by the USAT to be the Winter Triathlon National Championship. If you are interested in competing in this, don't procrastinate as the entry fee will increase after January 1st (tomorrow!!!).
I competed last year and was able to qualify for the World Championships. A highlight of 2016! Inspired by Ben Mullins's blogs of his favorite races, here's my attempt to share my winter tri story:
I spent most of last January in Southern California and it wasn't until I came back on January 28th that I discovered there was going to be a Winter Triathlon on the 31st as part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival. My skis were still in storage, and I had never ridden a fat bike (which organizer Jeremy Sartain said was pretty much a necessity for the course that was planned) but I had competed in several running events while in California and put in a lot of miles on my Trek Cross Rip in my work helping cities to become more bicycle friendly as part of my job with the League of American Bicyclists, so I figured I could do alright -- or at least not embarrass myself too badly. At any rate, I was excited that here was an opportunity to compete in my three favorite activities, even if it was just three days away! I registered, contacted a friend about borrowing his beloved fat bike, and hot waxed my skis. Early the next morning (two days before the race) when the thin layer of snow on the pond was frozen hard for good skate skiing I tested my skis, basically going in circles for about a half hour and wishing for a bit more muscle memory to emerge. It was fun, but a lot more work than it should have been!
The day before the event Jeremy hosted a preview ride where I got my first real ride on a fat bike. Unfortunately, because of the 40 degree temps, we actually had to stay off most of the actual course, and we learned that some of the sections would need to be changed, meaning, there would be more pavement riding than originally planned. Jeremy also was not confident that the Phalen Lake ski course would hold up for the race (it was closed that day) and warned that instead of run, bike, ski, it might end up a run, bike, run -- a winter duathlon.
After the preview ride I decided try out the fat bike with clipless pedals and my regular season Bontrager bike shoes. No problem! Now I was really getting excited, glad to be on a Salsa Beargrease, even if it wasn't one of the carbon models. (I was on the X5 aluminum frame, the same type that we rent here at CyclovaXC).
The morning of the race I chose sleep over breakfast but had sufficient coffee with a bit of goat's milk to feel plenty energized. Then 15 minutes or so before the race I drank my usual pre-race coconut water but only about 6 oz. Extra coco water stashed with the bike and skis to down during the transition. I am a big believer in less is more and for shorter races want to have my stomach as empty as possible. I figured the entire effort would take as much energy and time as a half marathon (but I was wrong), and anything I can do under an hour and a half can be done with the carbs already in my system from the day before. Beyond that and I risk bonking.
In keeping with less is more philosophy, I like to run in the Vibram five fingers (Sprint version which they no longer make) but because they take longer to remove, I opted for my Merrell's Glove "barefoot" shoe which I wore with a very thin wool ski sock.
When the run started the temperature was in the twenties and all the thawing from the day before created some areas of ice across the mostly paved route around Lake Phalen. There were a few other places where we had to go through some crusty snow, but nothing real challenging on the relatively flat course. I think I let my adrenaline take too much control at the start as it wasn't long before I started slowing down and the more prudent Richard Chin passed me with his steadier pace. I picked up a little but never did catch up to Richard which surprised me because the last few years I've been able to run faster than Richard who had first impressed me over a decade ago with his personal account of the 24 hour ski race at Telemark as a journalist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. I knew that since this was a National Championship, Richard would not be the only one in my age group I needed to worry about, but he was the only "old guy" at that point in the race ahead of me.
Maybe it was the extra clothing or the colder air, but instead of coming in under 20 minutes for the 5K which was my plan, I was at 22:31. (Never to think negative thoughts about my performance I decided either the course was longer than a 5K or the clock was wrong). At the end of the run there were 13 racers ahead of me with Richard 8 seconds in front. Richard increased that time advantage by another 6 seconds by being quicker out of the transition area, but once I got on the bike I felt like a new man and took off at full speed down the pavement.
Before the race I was snooping around trying to figure out what the top racers were doing for tire pressure. Nearly half the biking would take place on the paved trail but the rest was off-road and would be a challenging mix of ice, slush, mud and packed snow with some technical turns, ups, downs and crazy non-benched side slopes. I knew more air would make me faster on the pavement, and wasn't convinced it would hurt me too much on the snowy portions so opted (despite a warning or two) for 15 psi, figuring I could always let some air out if need be.
As it turns out, I passed riders on the pavement and in turn, they got around me in the snow. But did well enough in the biking (averaging 10.6 mph) that as I was reaching the end of the 5 lap course, a supporter yelled out that I was now in the top ten! And I had passed Richard on the second lap, never to see him again (I hoped) so I was fairly certain that I was now leading my age group (55-59).
I was actually looking forward to getting on my skate skis but first I had to deal with a bit of a thirst issue. Foolishly, I did not have a water bottle on the bike, and the 12 oz of coco water I downed after the run was not enough. By the third lap on the bike I was feeling terribly thirsty but not much I could do about it. So I took extra long in the transition (nearly 2 minutes) to get rehydrated (water and coco water) and of course lacing up ski boots takes longer than velcroing bike shoes.
Got the skis going and though felt a bit stiff at first, I soon found a good rhythm and was surprised by how fast the snow was. It was now above freezing and though there were still some icy and difficult corners I preferred those sections over the softer and slower areas (which seemed to increase as the race wore on). Before the end of the first lap, as I was climbing a long, undulating hill it happened: severe cramping to the point that I had to stop skating altogether and try to double pole my way up. Well, that just caused cramping to extend into my arms, so I actually stopped for a few seconds to massage my legs and try to ease the pain. Started out again but the cramping and pain continued. I took some deep breaths, tried to relax and just told myself to keep moving, no matter how slow it had to be. About that time Jan Guethner sped by me with her near perfect form and not too long after I was on my second lap, Richard Chin flew by me. In each case, I said something like, "way to go!" but could not apply the same sentiments to myself. As what I hoped would be fleeting stayed with me till the end. After I crossed the finish line I fell and just laid in the snow, not sure if anyone in my age group but Richard had passed me, but mostly just glad that the race was over.
So yes, Richard won the age group, and I was second. But as it turns out, I had the fastest qualifying time for the World Championships since by time that would happen in 2017, I would be in the 60-64 age group. Nobody my age or older was faster than me despite my 25th place showing in the cross country skiing portion of the race. I ended up was 15th overall. (The results show a 60 year old ahead of me but he was actually disqualified since he only completed one lap of the ski course - hence the faster time!)
Afterwards there was a party at the Insight Brewery in Minneapolis (the major sponsor of the race along with Now Sports), and it was fun to talk to people who had traveled as far away as Seattle, Washington to compete! So of course I am signed up again this year, and unlike last year this year I will:
- Already own a fat bike (and have put on hundreds of miles!)
- Have plenty of water with me while riding
- Make sure I get in at least 100 km of skiing before the event!
- Get up early enough to eat breakfast, and use energy gels (probably Stinger or my own maple syrup concoction) during transitions in addition to the coconut water.
So if you are like me and love to run, bike and ski, what could be a better event? Hope to see you there!

Small Audi SUV
Audi are famous for their style and luxury, their technology and their comfort, however, with the adage �bigger is better' becoming the motto of many luxury car manufacturers, Audi have obliged. However, as with all of their creations, they haven't skimped on the luxury, and they have of course achieved the tough and powerful SUV in a completely new way.
The production of the Audi Q5 has just been unveiled and is being billed as a smaller SUV than its Q7 brother. The Q5 will also be built in both Germany and China, from the same platform as the A4 and A5, which means it has a longer wheelbase and an overall lower height than most other SUVs on the road at the moment.
As well as being smaller, the Q5 is also stylishly understated and while it is spacious, comfortable and powerful inside, it won't evoke the same �fight or flight' reflexes as, say a Hummer approaching at speed. Of course the Audi SUV can be accessorised to your heart's content by adding an S-Line body kit, an off-road style kit, a choice of three engines, the option of a seven speed S-tronic gearbox and twin clutch transmission.
In permanent four wheel drive, the Audi SUV achieves a �rear-focussed style that enhances driving pleasure' according to the manufacturer, but it can also switch between a front or rear bias depending on the road conditions. It also has the power and the guts to survive off road too, and can negotiate muddy tracks, cross streams half a metre deep and climb slopes of 31 degrees.
Arriving in the UK at the end of this year, will it only be a matter of time before the Audi Q5 joins the ranks of the other luxury SUV stretch limousines? If you can't wait that long, contact Limo Hire Swansea now to hire an existing Audi limousine, or an existing SUV party bus limo.

Kill a Feeling is much brighter and more pop sounding than CARLA’s previous work. CARLA offers her most dance-friendly song to date in this new album in It’s a Race. Discover makes the wait for summer more bearable in which, for the first time, the artist explores the balearic sounds. Of course there are several songs on this album more aligned with CARLA’s signature sound, such as Fire in which her sister the singer-songwriter Joana Serrat features with her charismatic voice. However, this second album is a big step up for this electronic pop goldsmith. Those that already know CARLA are sure to be even more dazzled by this new record.

text: Seizures often originate in epileptogenic foci. Between seizures (interictally), these foci and some of the surrounding tissue often show low signals with 18fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in many epileptic patients, even when there are no radiologically detectable structural abnormalities. Low FDG-PET signals are thought to reflect glucose hypometabolism. Here, we review knowledge about metabolism of glucose and glycogen and oxidative stress in people with epilepsy and in acute and chronic rodent seizure models. Interictal brain glucose levels are normal and do not cause apparent glucose hypometabolism, which remains unexplained. During seizures, high amounts of fuel are needed to satisfy increased energy demands. Astrocytes consume glycogen as an additional emergency fuel to supplement glucose during high metabolic demand, such as during brain stimulation, stress, and seizures. In rodents, brain glycogen levels drop during induced seizures and increase to higher levels thereafter. Interictally, in people with epilepsy and in chronic epilepsy models, normal glucose but high glycogen levels have been found in the presumed brain areas involved in seizure generation. We present our new hypothesis that as an adaptive response to repeated episodes of high metabolic demand, high interictal glycogen levels in epileptogenic brain areas are used to support energy metabolism and potentially interictal neuronal activity. Glycogenolysis, which can be triggered by stress or oxidative stress, leads to decreased utilization of plasma glucose in epileptogenic brain areas, resulting in low FDG signals that are related to functional changes underlying seizure onset and propagation. This is (partially) reversible after successful surgery. Last, we propose that potential interictal glycogen depletion in epileptogenic and surrounding areas may cause energy shortages in astrocytes, which may impair potassium buffering and contribute to seizure generation. Based on these hypotheses, auxiliary fuels or treatments that support glycogen metabolism may be useful to treat epilepsy.

For half a century, Centre 56 has been a place of safety and hope in Kirkdale, Liverpool. Our remarkable charity has been a lifeline for families who have faced the harrowing realities of domestic abuse and crisis situations.
In this post, we look back on the 50-year journey of Centre 56, highlighting our unique approach to supporting families, and the profound impact it has had on children’s lives.
The 1970s laid the groundwork for a more compassionate and proactive approach to tackling domestic abuse.
As an issue that was often seen as a ‘private matter,’ little to no support was available for women looking to leave abusive relationships.
It was only right that a resistance led by a number of brave women, would start to form. The first women’s shelters were set up around London in the early 1970s, providing a means of escape from abuse for many women.
Centre 56 was established as part of this movement, by two Liverpool doctors willing to stand up for change. Dr Basil Levy and Dr Cyril Taylor founded Centre 56 in 1973, making it the first women’s refuge outside of London.
They had become increasingly concerned about the injuries sustained by women at the hands of their partners, and worse still, the effect it was having on the children, who were witnessing the violent arguments and attacks.
Ahead of their time
Their approach to supporting families was nothing short of pioneering. When we were founded, awareness and understanding of the impact of domestic abuse on children was limited. However, Levy and Taylor had already identified the need for comprehensive, child-centred support, and forged a path that was way ahead of its time.
Research has consistently shown that children exposed to domestic abuse are more likely to develop emotional and behavioural problems, struggle academically, and face a higher risk of entering abusive relationships themselves. Centre 56 recognised this long before it became a widely acknowledged issue and set out to break this cycle of suffering.
A child-centric approach to support
Over the years, the offer of the charity grew, and in 2004, their specialist creche became Ofsted-registered (previously the QA).
Today, childcare is the core offer of the charity.
Children who have witnessed abuse face different challenges as they develop. The specialist practitioners at Centre 56 are primed to give them the extra support they need to develop their confidence and self-esteem, improve their mental health and wellbeing and learn how to regulate their emotions and behaviours. It’s a nurturing, safe space for children to rebuild their trust in the world.
We aim to help the children we care for break free from the cycle of abuse. They grow up with a strong sense of self-worth and the belief that they deserve love and respect. This, in turn, influences their choices in adulthood, creating a ripple effect of positivity in their families and communities.
Support for families in crisis
While our priority will always be the child, care extends to the whole family. Using our community networks, we connect parents and carers to vital support services, empowering them to break free from the cycle of abuse and build a brighter future for their children.
The Rainbow Room at the nursery is always fully stocked with children’s clothes of varying sizes, toiletries, and sanitary items. The pantry shelves are always stocked with store cupboard staples for families to take what they need. It is a place where parents don’t have to worry about judgement if they ask for help.
“Just imagine, a single mum with no income, one child, and one on the way, on the verge of losing our home. There were days I wouldn’t eat until my son came back from school so we would have enough. I wouldn’t turn on the heating until my son came home so there would be enough electricity for a shower.
As soon as Centre 56 heard about my situation, my life changed. Every week, I had food on the table. Every week, I had gas and electricity in the house.” –
The next 50 years
A lot has changed in 50 years, but sadly not enough. Still, people are finding themselves trapped in abusive relationships, unsure of how to leave.
One in four women will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime, and two women a week are killed by their partner or ex-partner in England and Wales. In Merseyside, the situation could be worsening, recording the highest amount of domestic-abuse related crimes since 2015 in 2022.
Despite 50 years of service, our work is far from over.
There are still countless families in crisis who need help, and together, we can ensure that Centre 56 remains a beacon of hope for the next 50 years and beyond.

Alun Cairns criticises £4bn EU funds 'mismanagement'
Alun Cairns has launched a fierce attack on the "mismanagement" of £4bn of EU grants by the Welsh Government intended to help the poorest areas.
The Welsh secretary said Labour had let down west Wales and the valleys.
Speaking at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, Mr Cairns said some areas, which had the most EU funds, voted more heavily to leave.
A spokesman for First Minister Carwyn Jones insisted EU-funded programmes had made a "big difference" in Wales.
Mr Cairns accused Mr Jones of trying to present Wales as "a victim of the EU referendum", following the majority vote across the UK for Brexit.
"He seems to forget that Wales voted to leave the European Union too," he said.
Mr Cairns argued Brexit represented an opportunity to do things better - and warned "carrying on in the same old way, spending according to the same old plans after two decades is not an option any longer".
"After all, European structural funds are supposed to be a temporary fix, a stimulus for the most deprived parts of the UK.
"In Wales in 1999 I remember the debate about Objective One money - it was described as a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity'.
"But 16 years on, £4bn later, Labour's mismanagement of the funds has let those communities down.
"So much was their frustration that those areas that had received most European aid were the very same areas that voted in the strongest numbers to leave the European Union.
"If only they [Labour] had focused on the outcomes in the same way that they focused on the money that they were spending in those projects."
Mr Cairns told the conference the new structure after Brexit "will give us the opportunity to follow UK priorities, investing in a way that is completely tailored to the Welsh and the UK economy".
The Vale of Glamorgan MP singled out Mr Jones for criticism, but added: "Whether we like it or not, we must work from that instruction.
"There are new and exciting opportunities for Wales with the UK being the global leader in free trade."
Mr Cairns argued the new Department for International Trade will be "fundamental" to seek out new markets and increase inward investment for Wales.
A spokesman for the first minister said there was an "astonishing paradox" in Mr Cairns's remarks.
"First he celebrates the good employment figures in Wales, and then he trashes European funding," he said.
"The truth is that European funded programmes, like Jobs Growth Wales, have made a big difference to Welsh businesses and job-seekers.
"The reason Wales is out-stripping other parts of the UK doesn't have anything to do with the Tories in Westminster."
