COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA (KMTV) -- For nearly 27 years, Trooper Scott Miller with Iowa State Patrol has kept Iowa roadways safe.
"Our job takes place on the side of the road," Miller said. "That's where most of our traffic stops are done in busy, busy traffic conditions."
Conducting countless distracted driving stops.
"I've seen it all," Miller said. "Changing clothes, reading, putting on makeup, I've seen all types of crazy stuff."
Giving troopers something else to keep an eye out for.
"Not only are you worried about who you've stopped and who's in the car," Miller said. "But the bigger concern and biggest worry for the troopers that are out there they know that the most dangerous part of their job is the motor traffic that's around them."
During Thanksgiving weekend, Iowa State Patrol assisted 213 motorists, covered 181 crashes, issued more than fifteen hundred speeding citations.
"If we could get the people, the drivers to put their phones down and not be distracted, we would eliminate most of these crashes," Miller said.
Although we live in a safer society than ever before, Miller said the number of distracted crash fatalities doesn't reflect that.
"We have cars that stop themselves," Miller said. "We got air bags coming out of every possible place to keep that driver safe, so what is the problem? The only thing that's changed in the last five years is the phone. And the distractions."
In Iowa it's illegal to text and drive but phones are still allowed.
"They actually have to be manipulating the buttons, as far as making a text," he said. "So being on GPS for example would not be illegal."
Miller said that's confusing to a lot of drivers.
"It should just be all encompassing," he said. "Let's put the phone down. Let's not be distracted. That's the bigger picture."

The man who was sprayed in the face and robbed on the last bank holiday weekend was Strictly star Giovanni Pernice.
Mr Pernice, a 29-year-old professional dancer on the BBC show, was robbed as he got into an Uber in Bower Hill, Epping, at 8.30pm on August 25, according to The Sun.
Essex Police appealed for witnesses shortly after the attack - revealing they were after two men who were spotted jumping back into a black car heading down Stewards Green Road.
Now it has been revealed that the victim of the robbery was Mr Pernice.
The Sun says the dancer, who appeared on last night's launch show, first believed he had been sprayed in the face with acid but has now told friends he thinks it may have been pepper spray.
A source told the national newspaper: "His first thought was that it was an acid attack because of the burning in his eyes.
"He has been left absolutely terrified by the attack. It has hugely knocked his confidence."
Mr Pernice is currently dating formerly Strictly partner and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 27.
The two masked suspects got away with a watch and Mr Pernice's rucksack.
Police continue to appeal for any information.
If you can help, call Loughton CID on 101 quoting incident 1380 of August 25 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800555111.

This activity was designed to give students an opportunity to answer their own questions about richness-environment relationships and linear models using ephemeral ponds. The students compare differences in species richness-environment relationships between permanent and temporary wetlands using site-specific data collected as part of a large, long-term study of 57 permanent and ephemeral wetlands to generate and test hypotheses.
The data that students will be working with is part of the Chippewa Moraine Ephemeral Ponds Project, a five-year study of 57 wetlands in western Wisconsin. The data available to students includes two years (2013 and 2014) of environmental, plant, and aquatic macroinvertebrate data. Species/taxa richness metrics are included for macroinvertebrates and plants. All of the data is provided in annual mean format. 2013 was an average precipitation year (mean wetland water depth = 7.5 cm, SE = 1.4 cm), but 2014 was significantly above-average (mean wetland water depth = 28.5 cm, SE = 3.2 cm, P < 0.001, paired T = 2.00, df = 56). More advanced students may be interested in comparing relationships between years and speculating as to why these differences may be due to altered hydrology.
Aquatic macroinvertebrates were sampled three times during each growing season using surface-associated activity traps placed on the perimeter of each wetland. Wetlands were sampled using three traps (ephemeral ponds) or five traps (permanent wetlands), because the permanent wetlands were substantially larger than the ephemeral ponds. Wetland water chemistry was assessed three times during each growing season using field multimeters. Total phosphorus (U.S. EPA 1978), soluble reactive phosphorus (O'Dell 1993) and chlorophyll-a (Arar 1997) were also measured three times per season, and determined in the laboratory. Finally, plant data was collected using quadrats once per growing season in late July through early September.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has praised China for joining with the US in calling for North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program. But there are regional issues risking conflict.
Kerry held meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior officials including Premier Li Keqiang and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Friday. He confirmed the Obama administration's commitment to refocusing US foreign policy on the Asia-Pacific region.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Kerry praised China for efforts with its communist-led neighbor North Korea and urged Beijing to "use every tool at its disposal" to convince Pyongyang to return to long-stalled disarmament talks.
North Korea "must take meaningful, concrete and irreversible steps toward verifiable denuclearization and it needs to begin now," Kerry said. "China could not have more forcefully reiterated its commitment to that goal, its interest in achieving that goal and its concerns about not achieving that goal."
However, the extent of China's influence over North Korea is unclear following the recent leadership purge, including the December arrest and execution of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's uncle, Jang Song Thaek. He had played a key role in relations with China and had promoted the free-trade zones being set up along the two countries' border.
In the face of opposition from China, North Korea conducted a nuclear missile test in late 2012, followed by an underground detonation of a nuclear device last spring.
Despite such difficulties, Kerry said: "China has a unique and critical role that it can play. No country has a greater potential to influence North Korea's behavior than China, given their extensive trading relationship with the North."
Regional difficulties
Despite Kerry's upbeat approach and presentation, there remain regional difficulties, most especially between China and Japan.
Beijing is engaged in a territorial dispute with Tokyo over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea that are called the Diaoyu in China and the Senkaku in Japan.
China also raised concern in November last year when it unilaterally declared an air defense zone over a large area of the East China Sea, which both Japan and the US refused to recognize.
On Friday, China's official Xinhua News Agency said the US must pressure Tokyo into ceasing its "provocative moves" or risk a regional conflict in the future: "The United States has to know that, while Beijing has always been trying to address territorial brawls with some neighboring countries through peaceful means, it will not hesitate to take steps to secure its key national security interests according to China's sovereign rights."
In response, Kerry said he told the Chinese of the "need to establish a calmer, more rule-of-law based, less confrontational approach" with respect to its territorial disputes.

Mindless Behavior: The New Black Love for Young Black Women
Mindless Behavior, the hottest Pop group with a hip hop/r&b swag, has taken the young world by storm, your daughter's hearts in the palm of their hands, and who better to do so! Mindless Behavior are the young men of your daughter's dreams and the key to proving love still exists between young black men and women. Mother's and daughter's alike love Mindless Behavior over the rest of the music scene and here's why:
From generation to generation, each group had their time to woo- New Edition, Boys II Men, Jackson 5, Immature, B2K, young women have always had a young black man in the spotlight to fantasize about and fawn over. Lately we have had a large splurge of pop artists that have caught the attention of mainstream and urban media, so the presence of Mindless Behavior on the scene gives the black community something to smile about.
Mindless Behavior touches the hearts of preteens everywhere. Girls who haven't experienced their first kiss, first boyfriend, or that first opportunity that takes you to that level have become fanatical about Mindless Behavior. With other young celebrities frolicking on beaches portraying adult relationships, Mindless Behavior promotes a healthy crush that is ideal for the tween age group.
With acts such as Justin Bieber in the mainstream market, we as the African American community need a presence of talented, intelligent, and driven young men that young women aspire to marry and develop relationships with. Our community fights hard to create a platform that portrays our youth in a positive light, so when young talent such as Mindless Behavior takes advantage of the opportunity we must find a way to support them.
In 2011, it wasn't hard to find an "angry black woman" article. It seemed as if every story online and in the news was telling our black women that we had relationship problems and that we had a harder time developing a marital relationship within our own demographics. They even showed us why we should move on from the men that we have always known and loved to try 'a different route'. Although the mothers and older sisters of our time have been through the fire, let's lighten the load for our young women who will go on not only change statistics, but our way of life.
Love your daughter for loving Mindless Behavior!

Optimality of Tax Policy on the Basis of Comparative Analysis of Income Taxation
This paper is to determine the optimality of taxation based on a comparative analysis of income taxation in developed and developing countries. In our opinion, the main idea of income tax should be the optimal distribution of tax literacy on the basis of a direct definition of income of taxpayers or progressive taxation.
The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the main provisions of the market economy, classical and modern tax theories, legislative and regulatory acts of foreign countries. The main part of the empirical material is from 2002 to 2017. In the process of analysis of the actual material, together with the general scientific method of research, is used: Comparative and systemic analysis, analogy, statistical data monitoring and other methods. The comparative and systemic analysis will give us an opportunity to reveal and evaluate the ways of perfection. Analogy and comparative analysis is based on variables and features, such as the of income taxes structure, withdrawal rules, rates, tax base. Statistic concept tries to explain the named phenomena by the way of fundamental analyzing of the statistic data received resulted multiple statistic observation. Previous analyses of tax rates tend to support the hypothesis that Developed countries emphasize the importance of fairness, while developing countries are mainly focused on mobilizing budget revenues and lesser consideration of fair taxation principles, since the tax system performs a fiscal function more effectively than developing countries.

Weekend in KL flew by, and I came back with an even flabbier tummy (partly because it's that time of the month…excuses, excuses) mostly because I binged on Dunkin Donuts.. Don't ask me why I did that cuz there are Dunkin outlets in JB too, but it's just nice to sit there in the morning with gal pals, coffee and 2 donuts to start the day. Plus it was only 5mins walk away from Shane's place.. lol.
For the entire weekend I didn't sleep much… Explains the minor crisis on my face….My skin's suffering!! (note to self: get Skin Food's T-U mask) We had to do a fair bit of walking also because we didn't have a car to drive around in… And we didn't really get to shop much too… But I'm not complaining! I like KL. =)
I like KL because of the people…In most places people speak good English. Not news-anchor-standard-English of course, but decent, grammatically acceptable English. It's really a far cry from the Singlish I hear on this island everyday… People there are also friendlier and more open than most people in Singapore… Which is really nice cuz you basically can start a conversation with anyone who can speak the same language as you… For me it means Mandarin & English.. KL in a nutshell just has more character. The streets may not be very clean, people do smoke in restaurants, on the streets, everywhere actually, and it may not be very safe to go out at night especially Bangsar area, but heck, every city in which interesting people dwell aren't anything otherwise and I like that. At least there's a sense of adventure and you know the chances of meeting a Singaporean is kinda small. Muahahaa.
I like KL also because there is Chili's! lol. I had the Chili's Cheesesteak for dinner at the KLCC outlet after a long tiring day walking around downtown area, and it was goooood. Took close-up shots of the food there… Shall update the pics when I get my camera back… 🙂
4 more months before I graduate from my diploma and degree (hopefully)… I can't wait to start working to save up money to go do more travelling!!! 😀
Regular dose of Craig Ferguson… Found the clip in which he talks about why he refuses to ridicule Britney in his show. 🙂 It's a 12mins clip, so might take a while to load. Enjoy! :p

Safety First
Structured Programs Help Meet Safety Goals
By Deborah L. Vence
Rewards That Work
Typically, no one-size-fits-all reward exists in safety recognition, or any other type of incentive or recognition program. Thus, it is important to ensure that the employee is recognized publicly.
"Public recognition is often the part of recognition that an employee values the most," Chrobak said. "It is also a great way to promote the program by letting employees see the value of understanding and adhering to safe workplace behaviors.
"The value of the recognition being given, or the total potential value of a recognition that employees can receive can also determine the type of reward that is offered," she said. "For example, if it is a lesser-value one-time award vs. the ability to earn awards throughout the year, this will drive what types of awards are offered."
Some effective tangible awards include:
- Brand-name merchandise.
- Gift cards.
- Corporate logoed apparel or merchandise items.
- Safety apparel or equipment required in the workplace that employees may have to purchase on their own, such as work boots or safety glasses.
Non-tangible awards are effective motivators, too, including:
- Public recognition or praise.
- Free lunch.
- Prime parking spot.
- Extra time off from work.
"Rewards depend on the company's culture, demographics and geographics," Dolan said. "They should contain a balance of symbolic awards as well as lifestyle awards, meaning 'tangible things' people desire."
He said the IRS allows for these elements to be a non-tax event within certain guidelines, whereas cash, travel, meals and entertainment do not meet IRS requirements.
"There may also be other things unique to a company's culture to make for an award outside of the typical merchandise range of awards. This is where your task force can get creative," he said. "At minimum, rewards work best when there is choice and the reward options ensure 'something for everyone'."
"The mistake that some companies make is that they ask their workers what they would want for awards and, of course, the vast majority will say they want more money; that is just human nature," Galonek said.
"What they should instead be asking themselves is, 'What type of awards will be the most memorable for employees and will best lead to long-lasting behavior change?'" he said. "The answer to that question is tangible brand-name awards and experiential travel. Program participants need to be able to remember the awards they receive to close the loop and fully connect that safe behavior is rewarding and only tangible awards like a golf club, TV or weekend getaway can create long-lasting memories. Cash is forgotten almost instantly after receipt, where tangible awards can literally be remembered for decades."
Slagle suggested that effective awards include merchandise from a broad range of choices—from a selection incorporated into a catalog provided to the employees, rewards points to be redeemed later, reasonably priced plaques, trophies, etc.
"Given the IRS guidance, it's clear that cash and cash equivalents aren't permitted, nor are extravagant awards and gifts that may have been used in the past," Slagle said. "Also, given the monetary limits described above, it's clear that really expensive merchandise doesn't fit in a qualified plan.
"What type of merchandise or tangible personal property works best likely ties to the employer's work culture, type of business, type of safety issues, etc.," he said. "For example, and not to generalize, if the employer is a construction company employing individuals working outdoors in a physically challenging work environment, merchandise that matches the work habits and personal interests of that particular demographic might work best.
"Considerate employers will seek the opinions of their employees," he added, "and have them help design the programs to ensure the awards are respected and valued."

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
I love a good hot bowl of soup any time of the year, but there's something about this tomato soup that I especially crave when I'm feeling under the weather. It just warms my soul!
Have I mentioned how awesome it smells while simmering?!
This is an older recipe on the blog that I brought back with new photos. I haven't made this soup in a while… I took a taste while it was simmering and just had to give it some new glory.
Not only is this soup incredibly delicious, it's so EASY to prepare. Top it off with Parmesan cheese and croutons for added flavor and texture (sooooo good!). Restaurant-style tomato soup has never been easier!

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 55 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: Approximately 7-1/2 cups 1x
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped (about 2–1/2 cups chopped)
- 2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes in juices
- 4 cups chicken stock (or broth)
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup loosely packed finely chopped fresh basil
- Optional: shredded or grated Parmesan cheese and/or croutons, for topping
- Heat olive oil in a dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until soft and just beginning to brown (about 8 minutes), stirring frequently.

- Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree tomato mixture. If you don't have an immersion blender, place in a regular blender in small batches (exercise caution while blending hot liquids – blend small amounts at a time and hold down the top of blender pitcher while blending because there is a risk of the top blowing off and hot liquids to blow out!) and return to pot and stir well.
- Return to oven burner over medium heat. Add milk and basil. Stir to combine. Simmer (covered) for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Top with shredded or grated Parmesan cheese and/or croutons.

Original version
(Original: English)
German Premiere
Director: Christopher Morris, Chris Addison
Section: Series Special
"All the ladies in the house say, 'Freee!' All the men in the house say, 'Duuumb!'" With inspirational campaign-rally slogans like this, no wonder the Vice President is in trouble. Julia Louis-Dreyfus manages to get even nastier and funnier in the excellent second season of VEEP. As Vice President Selina Mayer, she keeps scheming for more clout in the White House, or at least a little respect from the President. But as she puts it, she's in a "national ass-kicking contest with no legs and a massive ass."

What has storytelling to do with your daily business?
Thursday, 18 June 2015 | Posted by: Michael Richter, European Coatings Journal
Everybody is talking about storytelling. Books dealing with this topic are often bestsellers as even a story about storytelling is already a told story. Confusing? Yes, it is and I will try to put things straight again.
But what can storytelling do for you? Storytelling gives your project, your research result and finally your product a soul. Storytelling makes people chat about your innovations, as emotions are addressed. Furthermore and most importantly, storytelling helps listeners to identify with your product.
What if...
Yes, you are doing science in your laboratories. You are collecting facts and you are compiling numerous tables to emphasise the brilliancy of you invention. Do not get me wrong. What you are doing is absolutely right and more than required. But this does not necessarily mean you should explain it in the same language which you are speaking in the lab.
What if you would report about obstacles? What if you would talk about hard times in the innovation process? What if you would allow people to have a glimpse behind the curtain?
You would…
You would talk about something everybody knows about. You would talk about a thing everybody encounters on a daily basis. Something, everybody knows and nobody dares to speak out loud, especially if competitors are listening. (If you are already scared, do not read further.)
This thing is called: P-r-o-b-l-e-m.
You could…
You could start to talk about problems. You could tell people a story about your product. You could give your innovation a soul. And you could make people feel empathy with the innovation process behind your invention.
There is absolutely nothing to lose, as everybody knows about problems. Just because you are not talking about problems, people are not that naive to think there haven´t been any.
You can…
You can easily win people´s minds with a good story. A story with a hero, who struggles at first and comes back stronger than ever. When I was a child, I loved to be the hero in stories I constructed. To be honest even today I like to be a hero.
And the best thing about telling stories like these? YOU are one of these heroes who has been victorious in the end. YOU solved several problems and YOU came up with an ingenious product.
These thoughts bring me to my final question: Why are today´s heroes so shy and do not show up although there are just benefits of doing so?
Let´s be brave together, talk more about solved problems and do not hesitate to leave a message via mail or a comment.
Kind regards,
Michael Richter

Drug Facts
What are 'Uni's"?
We love when our colleagues from the sector look to us for information on trends and patterns as it allows us to do some research and pass the information back to the sector.
YoDAA has recently had contact from a youth AoD service asking us if we were familiar with Uni's (pronounced "ooni's). They reported that it something people are injecting before or with heroin.
Uni's (pronounced "ooni's) is short for Unisom, it is a brand name for an over the counter gel capsule antihistamine. The capsule is an oblong shape filled with blue liquid the liquid is extracted from the capsule and injected prior to heroin use or mixed into the shot to enhance the effects.
Risks associated with using Unisom are similar to the risks that were associated to injecting the old temazepam gel capsules. The biggest danger is when someone melts the WHOLE table, instead of taking the liquid out of the capsule. Melting the whole capsule is dangerous because the capsule is solid at body temperature and can re-solidify after it has been injected. Understanding universal harm minimisation strategies is one way to help keep people who inject drugs safe.
If you are seeking more guidance or information about Unisom Harm Reduction Victoria is a great place to start.

A few weeks ago I ran my first 5K and then had company for dinner later that same day. When I made those plans I said to Brian, "I wonder if I'll regret planning two big things for one day."
My mom commented, "I am in awe of you...running a 5K and then having company for dinner. I am tired and achy just thinking about it."
Since both things were important to me, I wanted to make it work and to enjoy doing it. I cleaned the house the day before so after the race, I only needed to focus on cooking something for dinner. I chose this easy but super tasty recipe.
Lunch Meat Wraps
1 package of frozen bread dough (3 loaves)
1½ pounds deli-sliced cheese (we used provolone and yellow cheddar)
Thaw the bread and let it rise according to package directions. I used the quick-rise method.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Roll one loaf out into a 10x15 inch rectangle.
Arrange ⅓ of the cheese on the dough and layer ⅓ of the meat over the cheese.
Fold in the sides like you would for a large stromboli (directions here).
Repeat for each loaf of bread. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes.
Note: I claimed in my post title that everyone will eat this, but maybe you have a picky eater. Even my pickiest of picky eaters enjoys this meal, though. He is the first to grab the end pieces that are just bread and cheese-- a glorified grilled cheese sandwich!

Unless you want to be a Pet Shop owner, do not get into 'animal rescue'…Sure the merchandise is 'free' but you have to have that all important selling feature…These animals need your help and of course the willingness to STEAL animals from your neighbors animals!!! Or be prepared to be charged with cruelty yourself!!!
The new face on the scene for dogs, cats…especially puppies and kittens is to be 'animal rescue'!!! Within a few years even the rescues won't be operational and many will disappear as fewer animals will be available -Required S/N laws will be their final demise…Raiding breeders (and even each other if threatened by a new game in town that just might take away business and notoriety)…Hard to believe?!? -Is it really?!?

William Rosenberg founded the company "Open Kettle", the predecessor of Dunkin' Donuts, in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1948.
William Rosenberg began to sell Dunkin' Donuts as a franchise to other entrepreneurs. This was the first step in the company's popularization
Dunkin' Donuts began to spread to other countries around the world, marking its first step in globalization.
Dunkin' Donuts adds their famous copyrighted "Munchkins" product to their menu.
Because of the increase in sales from the Munchkins and other donuts, Dunkin' Donuts expanded on its menu by adding breakfast sandwiches to it.
Dunkin' Donuts capitalizes on the increasing success of technology (especially smartphones) and creates its first mobile application that allows it to take a different marketing stance in the food industry.
By the year 2014, Dunkin' Donuts has expanded its operations into 33 countries worldwide and operates in a total of 11,000 restaurants. Additionally, it has over a 1,000 items in its menu.

VGP – Russian Ambassador to Viet Nam Konstantin V. Vnukov has affirmed that Russia wishes to develop its comprehensive strategic partnership with Viet Nam, and considers Viet Nam one of its most important partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
Particularly, according to statistics from the Vietnamese side, since the Viet Nam-Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement came into effect in October 2016, the trade turnover between Viet Nam and Russia has grown rapidly at a rate of over 30% per year.
Two-way trade in 2018 reached approximately US$4.5 billion, the largest figure recorded so far. In the first quarter of 2019 alone, the export revenue between the two sides hit US$1.14 billion, up 12.4% compared to the same period last year.
Viet Nam's goods, including electronics, textiles, seafood and coffee, are being increasingly used by Russian consumers. At the same time, Vietnamese consumers have become increasingly fond of machinery, equipment, technologies and consumer goods imported from Russia.
Expanding cooperation
Alongside trade exchange, investment cooperation between Viet Nam and Russia has also been expanded with many large-scale projects deployed in both countries. Of those, energy is a traditional and effective field of cooperation, which has generated a significant source of revenues for the two countries' budgets.
However, the scale of bilateral trade and investment cooperation has yet to match with the potential. Russian firms' investment in Viet Nam remains modest at US$1 billion, while Viet Nam's investment in Russia stands at US$3 billion. This poses significant challenges for the goal of raising two-way trade to US$10 billion by 2020.
Therefore, the two countries' agencies and businesses concerned are making great efforts to achieve the set objectives, while drastically and actively seeking new ways of cooperation with high feasibility and benefits for both sides.
In addition, there are huge potential for bilateral cooperation in the high-tech fields, such as clean energy, information technology, electronics and telecommunications, with many projects having been proposed and implemented over recent times.
Particularly, the Government and businesses of Viet Nam and Russia have expressed their hopes that the activities taking place in the "Viet Nam Year in Russia and Russia Year in Viet Nam" will contribute to preserving the traditional friendship, which is inherently a solid foundation for the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.

Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until syrup is a deep amber color, 10 to 12 minutes longer. Remove from heat and immediately stir in whipping cream (mixture will foam). When foaming subsides, stir in coffee and salt. Let cool before using, or cover and chill up to 2 weeks (stir before using).

How the charter school movement threatens public education, disempowers parents and what we can do about it
The Independent Commission on Public Education | 9/11/2014, 4:25 p.m.
Young people are supposed to love going to school—a place where educators who understand and support them nurture their full human development into caring, competent and responsible adults. Initially, charter schools were supposed to try out new ways to improve on this rich educational promise for every child. They were to be in partnership with public schools, and whatever was learned in these experimental havens was to be brought back to improve the larger whole.
However, that's not what's happened. Today, the charter school movement is a powerful force disrupting, weakening and potentially destroying our public school system. How did a reasonable approach to flexibility and innovation turn into cutthroat competition and enmity between what has come to be a corporate-dominated and -controlled charter school movement with substantial private money and an underfunded, under-resourced and increasingly stigmatized public education system? And why is corporate power hell-bent on controlling the charter school movement?
In a series of articles, we will discuss why this is happening, how charter schools serve to weaken our schools and what those of us committed to a democratically driven and well-rounded education for all can do about it. This discussion is especially salient for those of us yet to choose an education path for our children. We shall also discuss the importance of parent and community voices in determining educational policy and how charter schools serve to divide our communities and parent groups, such that we are all weakened and may lose the chance for quality education.
When Mayor Michael Bloomberg took over the New York City school system in 2002, he used the flexibility available to charter schools to initiate changes in how schools would be run. One very consequential "innovation" was to turn schools into mini businesses, with the principal as the all powerful decision maker at the top, teachers as hired help with little voice and parents as customers with no voice. Parents would choose a school for their children much in the way we choose which shoes to buy. The only recourse for parents who didn't like a school was to remove their children and "choose" another. Test scores were thought of as "profits," and competition among schools was fostered with standardized high stakes test scores, which, like profits, were a key measure of success or failure.
Enter a major increase in corporate influence. The stage was set for corporate monies to be poured into charter schools to make them the preferred choice, with their test prep curriculum, attractive classroom settings, well-funded public relations campaigns and few regulations. For example, charter school budgets can be kept secret from the public, teachers usually have no union and can be fired at will with no due process and parents have to "love it or leave it." Corporate domination means there is big-time corporate lobbying with our politicians for centralized curriculum, i.e., the Common Core, with text books, test prep materials, lots of tests corrected by machines and bigger profits for education companies than ever before.

Press release • Feb 16, 2016 16:32 GMT
Two of the on-trend food concepts from Villeroy & Boch, both presented at the international spring fair Ambiente in Frankfurt, have already been allocated design prizes. In December 2015 the serving dish from Pasta Passion was selected to receive the Design Plus Ambiente 2016 award from among 418 products or product series from 178 exhibitors. The generous dish is particularly pleasant to carry thanks to its two ergonomic handles, as could be seen when it joined the other award-winning products in a special exhibition staged during the fair in Galleria 1 between Halls 8 and 9.
The BBQ Passion and Pasta Passion concepts were also singled out for the consumer prize "KitchenInnovation of the Year®". In addition, Pasta Passion received the "Golden Award – Best of the Best" for utmost innovation, functionality and design.
A jury of experts compiles a shortlist, which is then used by the market research institute K&A BrandResearch to allow consumers to select the winner. Criteria such as functionality and user convenience, product benefit, innovation, design, ergonomy and sustainability are evaluated. The prize was awarded in the context of the Ambiente, where the winning products are presented to about 140,000 trade experts and opinion leaders in a large dedicated area over the entire period of the fair. Well-known top chefs also profile the award-winning products in live cooking shows.
With the food concepts Pasta Passion, Pizza Passion, BBQ Passion and Soup Passion, Villeroy & Boch is providing special products for uncomplicated but simultaneously stylish enjoyment of meals that are popular around the world. The collections are ideal for beautiful modern table-settings and also for relaxed eating, for instance on the living-room sofa or in a lounge chair on the terrace or in the garden.

John Solomon posted an article at The Hill yesterday about a scandal involving foreign meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The article reports:
After nearly three years and millions of tax dollars, the Trump-Russia collusion probe is about to be resolved. Emerging in its place is newly unearthed evidence suggesting another foreign effort to influence the 2016 election — this time, in favor of the Democrats.
Ukraine's top prosecutor divulged in an interview aired Wednesday on Hill.TV that he has opened an investigation into whether his country's law enforcement apparatus intentionally leaked financial records during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign about then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort in an effort to sway the election in favor of Hillary Clinton.
The leak of the so-called black ledger files to U.S. media prompted Manafort's resignation from the Trump campaign and gave rise to one of the key allegations in the Russia collusion probe that has dogged Trump for the last two and a half years.
Ukraine Prosecutor General Yurii Lutsenko's probe was prompted by a Ukrainian parliamentarian's release of a tape recording purporting to quote a top law enforcement official as saying his agency leaked the Manafort financial records to help Clinton's campaign.
Isn't it ironic that after millions of dollars have been spent trying to find foreign influence to help President Trump win in 2016, a foreign government simply puts out the information.
The article details some of the behind-the-scenes activities in the U.S. embassy in Kiev:
We now have strong evidence that retired British spy Christopher Steele began his quest in what ultimately became the infamous Russia collusion dossier with a series of conversations with top Justice Department official Bruce Ohr between December 2015 and February 2016 about securing evidence against Manafort.
We know the FBI set up shop in the U.S. embassy in Kiev to assist its Ukraine–Manafort inquiry — a common practice on foreign-based probes — while using Steele as an informant at the start of its Russia probe. And we know Clinton's campaign was using a law firm to pay an opposition research firm for Steele's work in an effort to stop Trump from winning the presidency, at the same time Steele was aiding the FBI.
Those intersections, coupled with the new allegations by Ukraine's top prosecutor, are reason enough to warrant a serious, thorough investigation.
If Ukraine law enforcement figures who worked frequently with the U.S. Embassy did leak the Manafort documents in an effort to influence the American election for Clinton, the public deserves to know who knew what, and when.
It is becoming obvious that Mueller is looking for foreign influence in the 2016 election in the wrong places. The question is whether that is by accident or by design.

Pattinson: Aussies lacked consistency
Disappointed fast bowler says hosts were caught unawares on slow Gabba track as Amla, Kallis put South Africa in commanding position on Day One
A slow Gabba wicket and a bad case of stage fright threw Australia on Day One of the first Test against South Africa, according to young paceman James Pattinson.
The Proteas were 255 for two at stumps and in complete control in Brisbane with Hashim Amla unbeaten on 90 and Jacques Kallis 84 not out after Australia's much-vaunted pace battery failed to fire. Pattinson was the only paceman to taste success on the day, grabbing the key wicket of South Africa skipper Graeme Smith for 10.
Australia's inability to adapt to an unusually soft surface at the Brisbane ground and the class of South Africa's top order proved the difference, Pattinson said. "We can make excuses but we lacked a bit of penetration, consistency and probably our maiden count (16) was a big thing.
We did well in patches, but you play against world class batsmen and they're good on soft wickets at getting those balls into the gaps and rotating the strike as they did," he said.
Pattinson was at a loss to explain why the pitch was the way it was. "It wasn't the Gabba wicket we were probably used to. "It was a bit slow and there was no real sideways movement. It's the first time I've played on a wicket like this at the Gabba. A few of the boys were saying as well it's the first time there wasn't any catches go to slip on the first day," Pattinson said.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi
If given the ultimatum to choose three types of food for the rest of your life, what would they be? I love cheese and bread, but I'd have to choose Japanese, Indian, and Thai. I think I'd be happy swapping between those three for the rest of my hypothetical, regulated life. Watching Jiro Ono carefully place delectable slices of fish on the counter in Jiro Dreams of Sushi only validates my decision.
Nestled in the basement of an office building in Tokyo, Jiro and his son, Yoshikazu, prepare what has been dubbed as the best sushi in the world. Jiro only serves sushi; that's it. No appetizers, no dessert, no frills. He also doesn't allow walk-ins. Only reservations, with meals starting at ¥30,000 and the menu for the night is chosen at his discretion depending on the fish his son purchased for the day. This exclusivity and dedication to the craft landed Jiro on the list of Michelin's three-star restaurants.
But, his dedication goes even beyond that. Jiro is 85 and shows no willingness to slow down; actually, he believes the moment he retires he'll either die or be kicked out of the house from sheer boredom. He has spent so much time preparing and perfecting his craft—not taking any time off and detesting holidays—that he even, as the title suggests, dreams of sushi.
The most interesting aspect of this subtle documentary is how in tune with the Japanese culture it is. From Jiro's simplistic presentation of his sushi to the slow-motion artistic camera angles, the entire film deftly presents the clean, observant nature the Japanese have so carefully perfected. Additionally, Jiro's tireless work ethic and strict adherence to routine promote the Japanese business lifestyle.
The emphasis on familial tradition is ripe here as well. We see how loyal Yoshikazu has been, even though he is already 50 and still considered an apprentice. The younger son left many years ago to open his own sushi restaurant that has been received positively, but remains a step below Jiro's. The question remains, and will remain, about the future of the little restaurant when Jiro passes away. Will Yoshikazu be able to keep the business afloat without his father's name bringing customers?
The film tries to allay any fears of this nature by pointing out how expertly Jiro has trained his apprentices. By now, he does very little in the preparation process, but still receives all of the credit. The idea of keeping the business in family is important to Jiro, but he is so infatuated with his work that he is unwilling to hand over the keys just yet.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi is slow and at times relatively tedious, even with a run time of 81 minutes. Each scene is so deliberate that you are either salivating over the sushi, or waiting to watch him make more. It is certainly intriguing to see the apprentices work and watch Yoshikazu as he vies for his father's approval. Be forewarned of the perils of watching this when hungry, you will regret it. Jiro certainly provides an enlightening look into one of the world's hidden gems.

For many years, even after the mass spread of recorded music, the pop industry treated the song itself as the important thing. Denmark Street and Tin Pan Alley song-pluggers flogged sheet music, not records. If you liked, say, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", you might buy the version by your favourite singer, whether it was Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett or (God save us!) Dickie Valentine - but, essentially, it was the song that mattered. This even worked after the advent of Rock 'n' Roll – it's hard to believe now, but British record buyers would go out and buy Marty Wilde's version of 'Endless Sleep" in preference to the superb US original by Jody Reynolds. And if, in the 1960s, you couldn't afford to pay 6/6d for a single - and if you were completely devoid of taste - you'd buy an LP of crappy cover versions at Woolworth's.
"…it is that attribute of a sound signal that enables us to distinguish it from another of the same pitch and loudness. In other words, if they sound different even though they are of the same pitch and equally loud, the difference is down to timbre."
