Catching Up with a Dream Project Alum
By Rob Thompson
I was mostly involved in Dream Project (DP) from Winter 2007 through some time in 2010 or 2011. I joined when the class was only a year old. The founding members were all still undergraduates back then, including Alula [Asfaw] and we only had about 30 people in the class. After a while, I was made the high school lead for Odyssey, which I did for almost a full year. When that cohort was wrapping up, the founding members were getting ready to move on and I was picked, along with a handful of other students, to succeed them on the steering committee. On the committee, I handled some of the more administrative stuff. I was an instructor for the course for several quarters; I took attendance; I ran the website; I ran the "think tank," which was an open discussion section we had every week to cultivate new leadership, and I was responsible for events a few times. I was the first and only person to write a course description for the class for about four years. As an undergrad, every quarter without fail I'd get a few emails addressed to "Dr. Thompson" asking about add codes or something like that, which I always got a kick out of.
I came into DP already at least somewhat interested in education. I've always been fairly liberal, so social justice was a topic I was already aware of but didn't have a lot of experience in. I'd say DP reinforced and gave some needed context to the beliefs I already had. Unlike a lot of the people involved in DP, I was studying science and had a tough time connecting DP activities to anything I was studying in school. I'd say that was for the best though. I got to know a lot of liberal arts people I never would have met otherwise, and exercised some skills I never would have needed in a physics or programming class. Even at this point I'm not sure about my future career path but I'd say DP has left its mark there. I wasn't originally planning to study education and DP had a part in shifting my focus, even if I still ended up in the same major.
I still volunteer with DP for several reasons. Some of my best memories of college were working in DP and it was where I made many friends and solidified my passion for education. I'm in my 6th year of a PhD in the University of Washington Allen School for Computer Science, studying educational technology, so volunteering is a nice break from the grind of grad student life that's still relevant to my interests. I'd say DP also instilled a general appreciation for volunteering in me, so it's only natural I'd want to help if asked.
Right now, I'm studying how dyslexia and other learning disabilities affect children learning to program, but I've also worked on educational technology to teach reading and writing, educational games, and general problem solving systems. I've got about a year left on my degree so I'm still avoiding making a decision about what I do next. I think I'd like to work with educational technology. It can be tough to find a company that is doing that sort of work for the right reasons, however. There are some projects in the big tech companies that are education/social justice focused that might work, and every year there are dozens of new tech startups so I'm optimistic I'll be able to find something that's a good fit.

Daijiworld Media Network - Mandya
Mandya, May 23: Sumalatha, widow of former Congress MP and actor M H Ambareesh, has become the first independent candidate to win the Lok Sabha elections from Karnataka in 52 years.
The 55-year-old actor turned politician made her debut as an independent candidate from Mandya after Congress decided to give her ticket to its coalition partner JD(S).
Sumalatha is only the fourth MP from Karnataka since Lok Sabha elections were first held in 1952. The last MP to be elected from the state was Dinakar Desai in 1967 from Kanara Lok Sabha constituency, when it was still part of the Mysore state.
Sumalath defeated chief minister H D Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Kumaraswamy, who made his debut in politics from the Mandya seat as the coalition candidate, much to the dismay of several Congress leaders and workers who were vocal about their support to Sumalatha.
Not just that, BJP lacking a strong candidate in Mandya decided to back Sumalatha by not launching a candidate from its party. She was supported by popular Kannada actors Yash and Darshan, who campaigned for her on field.
As per the latest reports, Sumalatha is leading with 1.25 lac votes and is most likely to be declared the winner from the constituency.
When media asked her to react, she said that she never planned anything and incidents that happened in her life were unplanned. "I contested only because people demanded. They had supported Ambareesh and they expect the same from me. I have to fulfill his legacy by taking forward the work he left behind," she said.
Even after polling completed in Mandya on April 18, Sumalatha became busy completing her pending assignments. With the upcoming release of her son Abhishek Ambareesh's movie, she had to ensure everything is on the right path.
Sumalatha has acted in more than 200 films in five languages. Born in Chennai to parents from Andhra Pradesh, she did her initial education in Bombay in a school named 'Karnataka High School'. "May be I was destined to be here," she told media.
Well deserved victory. You have broken the 52 years record. Sumalatha, congratulations and best of luck as you enter a new phase of life as a MP. God bless you abundantly.
Congratulations Sumalatha Ambareesh. I was very happy that Nikhil Gowda could not win. Let him continue his career in Sandalwood. He is still young , can contest again in future after maturing to some level .Sumalatha should now join BJP.
Whatever said and done like sympathy, film actor's charisma about reason for winning for Sumalatha, it is not easy to win MP election as an Independent that too who is new to politics.We should appreciate her conduct in election. She presented herself in a dignified manner against the abusive and crooked politics of Gowda family. CM used the whole state machinery and money and goonda power but could not win people of Mandya.This is a nice lesson to politicians
50% kannada paid media helped her to win,puksatte prachara.
Her target.confidence and giving everything the best to win is really commendable.Congratulations and all the best.
Sumalatha will be managed by BJP ...
Actually she may even join the party now
Congratulations Sumalatha. You deserve to win. HDK made a grave mistake contesting his son against you.
Congrats to mrs Sumalatha..Idea of Politics is Governance. Now work and serve the people.. Children for Schooling..Hospitals....sports and games.Employment...Greta infrastructure.health..Law and order.Justice.Empower womenHelp in Cottage industries..co-op industrial set up like AMUL..Promote Self employment...Also..promote Entertainment in Movie making like Bollywood.be fruitful...be productive.. be Useful.Like Dr. Kalam.Think how to Give and not take.that makes him one of his kind......

"Public education as a whole came under brutal attack as part of the Obama administration's effort to shift the burden of the financial crisis onto the backs of the working class."
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos reverses Obama-era decision on student loan debt
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos reverses Obama-era decision on student loan debt
By Kayla Costa and Genevieve Leigh
21 April 2017
21 April 2017
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos signed an order last Tuesday halting plans made under the Obama administration regarding the national student loan servicing and debt collection system.
In a memo to James Runcie of the Federal Student Aid Office, DeVos formally withdrew three Obama-era memos calling for the federal government to select a single vendor to build a new system for servicing its student loans.
Currently the Federal government has $800 million in contracts with nine different loan servicing companies to carry out the tasks of sending bills, collecting payments, and dealing with borrower issues for the more than $1 trillion of student loans. Under this setup the federal government has directly profited from the student loan crisis to the tune of about $10 billion per year.
The Obama-era plans to consolidate the vendor contracts into one did not represent a genuine effort to address the student loan collection scandals or reform the exploitative loan system more generally. The memos were the product of a damage control campaign following a series of lawsuits and scandals involving the Department of Education and the explosion of the student debt crisis following the 2008 financial crisis.
Public education as a whole came under brutal attack as part of the Obama administration's effort to shift the burden of the financial crisis onto the backs of the working class. Major cuts were made to spending on education and consequently public universities compensated for the loss by increasing tuition nationally by 33 percent over the course of the first six years of the Obama administration. These costs, paired with the rising costs of living and stagnating wages, resulted in a sharp spike in student debt.
As the situation was seized upon by the loan companies with the backing of the Department of Education, the government agency became the target of growing anger for employing and protecting the predatory student loan collection agencies.
The token measures offered under by the Obama administration, and only after enormous pressure, did nothing to curb the loan collectors' scandalous behavior. While consolidation of the loan agencies may appear to have been a progressive step, it is doubtful that this move would have made any positive difference at all to students. This is supported by the negotiating process leading up to the plan's implementation.
Bidding for the single vendor contract to service student loans, which would have been the largest federal contract outside of the military, started about a year ago. The largest student loan servicer in the country, Navient, quickly emerged as the frontrunner.
Navient oversees roughly $300 billion in student loans for more than 12 million borrowers, 6 million of whom are under contract with the Department of Education. In total, the Delaware-based corporation, formed out of the split of student loan servicer Sallie Mae in 2014, accounts for nearly one-fourth of all student loan borrowers.
Navient is among the most notorious student loan agencies. The company paid $97 million in a settlement in 2014 alone for illegally maximizing late fees on the student loans of military personnel. Over 60,000 loans were affected by the violation of the 6 percent interest rate cap which is afforded to active duty service members. It was this company which the Obama administration was prepared to task with overseeing great "reforms."
Any attempt to paint the Obama administration as an ally of students or good for education falls flat in the face of the facts. However, this is not to say there is anything positive about DeVos' reversal.
Last week's withdrawal of the Obama-era reforms indicates a further shift to the right by the new Trump administration. DeVos's actions, in line with the Trump administration's moves on foreign policy, immigration, and environmental protections, mark an escalation based on the framework established by the Obama administration.
DeVos has repeatedly expressed plans for the Department of Education to slash federal funding and regulations—as weak as they were to begin with—shifting the weight of public services into the hands of state officials and ultimately private investors.
The recent order claimed that the previous plans lacked "proper management cohesion," in addition to being too costly. Without laying out a new policy agenda, DeVos stated that an effort was underway to "acquire new federal student loan capabilities that will provide borrowers with the tools necessary to efficiently repay their debt."
DeVos, a billionaire from Michigan, is a well-known ideological opponent of public education. She and her family have donated millions of dollars to politicians and lobbying groups that support the funneling of tax dollars to private and religious schools through voucher programs and removing oversight of education spending through the establishment of charter schools.
Her inner circle is filled with some of the most right-wing conservative figures in the US. There is no question as to her intentions as head of the Department of Education: to destroy public education in the service of private interests.
Opposition to DeVos and the attack on education will not come from the Democratic Party despite the theatrical campaign they waged during her senate confirmation. Behind their nominal defense of "struggling families" from "unnecessary financial burden," as leading Senators have put it, lies the Democratic Party's own legacy of attacking public education and promoting charter schools, extending back decades. The Democrats' complicity in the corporate-driven school "reform" is well documented in cities like Chicago and Detroit.

One in eight community college students in the United States are homeless
Bryan Dyne
31 March 2017
A new study by the Wisconsin HOPE Lab has revealed that about half of community college students in the United States, which make up 46 percent college students in the country, do not have consistent housing and that 13 percent are homeless. In absolute terms, this means at least one million people trying to receive postsecondary education do not have a roof over their heads.
These results confirm and expand upon previous studies that have looked at college student homelessness, including earlier work by the HOPE Lab and studies done by the College and University Food Bank Alliance.
This estimate is an order of magnitude higher than the official homeless statistic of the US, which is 0.5 percent of the population, and more than twice the rate of youth aged 10-19 which face homelessness at least once during a year, which is just under five percent. It is also more than 29 times the official student homelessness rate recorded by the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA), which is the only federal body that collects data on homeless students.
In order to clarify the disparity between the official statistics and the HOPE Lab survey, the World Socialist Web Site spoke to the Wisconsin HOPE Lab founder, Sara Goldrick-Rab. She noted that "The FAFSA is notorious for undercounting homeless students. First, students have to fill out the FAFSA, which many do not. Furthermore, since a homeless student counts as being financially independent, and thus is eligible for more money, FAFSA requires that they fill out a large amount of paperwork, essentially to prove that they are homeless. Since we just asked the students themselves, we captured a much better picture of the problem.
"Even our results, however, are undercounting the problem. Since it's a voluntary survey, we are going to miss some people. We also do not count things like couch surfing as being homeless because that's often considered something which college students just 'do'. As a result, we include that in our housing insecurity statistics, which includes about half of all community college students."
The latest HOPE Lab survey is the most widespread study of homelessness amongst college students and, according to the research done by the authors, is likely the only study that looks specifically at the plight of community college students.
One of the few comparable studies was done by the California State University (CSU) system, which included more students but only looked at California schools and achieved its estimates based on interviews with CSU staff, faculty and administrators rather than asking the students directly.
In contrast, the Wisconsin HOPE Lab sent a survey to more than 750,000 students across the country with a monetary incentive to garner participation. The final survey response was 33,934 students, making it the largest national study which focuses on food and housing insecurity among college students to date. While the nature of the study does not immediately lend itself to broad generalizations, the agreement between this study and all other studies looking at hunger and homelessness on US campuses suggests that the data collected do represent trends throughout all 50 states.
One thread which supports this hypothesis is that housing insecurity, which includes the inability to regularly pay utilities or rent or the need to move frequently as well as those without a permanent place to live, is not a problem isolated to urban or high-poverty community colleges but a largely uniform problem across the areas studied. Rural and urban community college students are equally likely to be housing insecure, but homelessness is actually higher for those students living in cities (15 percent) than those living in suburbs (14 percent), rural areas (11 percent) and small towns (9 percent).
Moreover, the data collected show that housing insecurity is unrelated to things like eligibility for Pell Grants or immigration status.
Of students ineligible for Pell Grants, 12 percent were homeless, compared to 16 percent for those who did receive a Pell Grant. The difference in homeless rates between US citizens and permanent residents was less than one percent. And while students who are African American or Hispanic both were overrepresented among homeless undergraduates in the study, the largest single racial category among homeless community college students in the study is non-Hispanic white.
Even the cost of attendance, which includes tuition as well as food, room and board, books, supplies and transportation, does not greatly affect the rates of housing insecurity. The community colleges studied with the lowest cost of attendance ($11,934 per year) had a housing insecurity rate of 50 percent while the most expensive colleges ($26,563 per year) had a housing insecurity rate of 46 percent.
The one factor that the study did find that impacts the homelessness rate is whether or not a given student was a former foster youth. Almost 30 percent of community college students among this demographic who were surveyed are homeless.
Similar to the previous studies, which looked primarily at the levels of hunger amongst college students, the current research shows that working or receiving financial aid does not alleviate the stress of finding adequate housing.
More than 40 percent of homeless students have a job, and more than half of those work between 20 and 40 hours per week. One-third of homeless students are receiving student loans. And, in another indicator of the financial distress among these students, one-sixth of homeless students are getting through college through credit card loans.
There is also little federal assistance for homeless students. To quote the report, "among students experiencing housing insecurity or even homelessness, less than 13 percent received any form of assistance with housing costs, and only about six percent got assistance with utilities. Even though 28 percent of students in this study have children, and of those 63 percent were food insecure and almost 13 percent were homeless, barely five percent received any child care assistance. Instead, the most common forms of support these students received were tax refunds (likely from the Earned Income Tax Credit) and Medicaid or public health insurance (e.g., via the Affordable Care Act)."

Report: More millennials live at home than with spouse
An interesting study released by the US Census Bureau shows that about 1/3 of millennials 18-34 live at home or in a college dormitory. A quarter of 25-34 year olds living at home are either not employed or not going to school.
What's striking about these figures is the difference between young adults today and those in 1970.
More 18- to-34-year-olds live with a parent than with a spouse, according to the report, The Changing Economics and Demographics of Young Adulthood: 1975–2016 (pdf). That's a major shift from the 1970s, when young people were more than twice as likely to live with a spouse. Young adults today are also likelier to be enrolled in college or graduate school than their counterparts in the '70s.Most of those who live at home but neither work nor study have a high school diploma or less, and about a fifth have a child. Half are white, and the majority are male. About a quarter have a disability."Almost 9 in 10 young people who were living in their parents' home a year ago are still living there today, making it the most stable living arrangement for young adults," the report said. "In 2005, the majority of young people lived independently in their own household (either alone, with a spouse, or an unmarried partner), which was the predominant living arrangement in 35 states. By 2015—just a decade later—only six states had a majority of young people living independently."
Making sweeping generalizations that reflect badly on young adults today is probably unavoidable. But I think it more important to look at the underlying causes that are forcing young people to live with their parents.
It comes down to an economy that is not creating entry level jobs that pay a living wage. A college degree used to be a gateway to a white collar job in the 1970's. Those jobs not only paid enough for a young adult to live alone, but also put the worker on a management track.
Even high school graduates with few skills could find employment at a factory or shop that paid a decent wage.Those jobs are all gone now, never to return. Employment has become specialized to the point that graduate school is almost a necessity for finding a job after college that would allow a young adult the independence to live by themselves.
An even more radical change is the refusal of young people to get married. This is a titanic cultural shift, the consequences of which are still not fully understood. Clearly, at least part of the reason for young adults to shy away from marriage is economics. But there is also far less emphasis placed on sex and marriage by young people today than there was in the 1970's. Most millennials don't see an upside to having a spouse and a family, and with housing prices what they are, even a two income family will have a hard time affording one.
I think there's a chance that, with a better economy, the number of young adults living with their parents will drop. But attitudes toward marriage may have been permanently altered. The priorities of young adults would have to change for most of them to once again, look to fall in love, marry, and raise a family.

FEBRUARY 26, 2016, NEW YORK, NY—Public Art Fund announces Understanding, an exhibition featuring a new 25-foot-tall rotating ruby red neon sculpture by British artist Martin Creed commissioned specifically for Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6. Sited on the Park's southernmost pier overlooking the East River, its message will be visible from nearby Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, the river, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Work No. 2630, UNDERSTANDING (2016) is Creed's largest public sculpture to date. Martin Creed: Understanding, will be on view May 4 to October 23, 2016 at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6.
"Martin Creed is a poet of the everyday," said Public Art Fund Director & Chief Curator Nicholas Baume. "His art confronts us with things we think we already know – inviting us to look at them afresh. 'Understanding' is a simple word with complex meanings; we might, for example, show understanding on an emotional level, even while not understanding what somebody has said or done. In this luminous and dynamic sculptural form, the word is isolated, monumental, and continually moving. Both literally and figuratively, Creed offers us a new vantage point to see the world. But is this a celebration of understanding or a challenge to us to understand more? Either way, Martin Creed's disarming eloquence captures our imagination."
Defined by red neon lights, the word 'understanding' is formed from individual steel letters and supported by an industrial I-beam mounted to a post and rotating on a central axis. The beam will spin at varying speeds, sometimes moving slowly and other times at a faster pace; the rhythm will be determined by a computerized program designed by Creed. The post stands in the center of a stepped base reminiscent of a ziggurat that will act as seating for park visitors. From Pier 6, the work will be highly visible—a luminous sign with a clear and poignant message—while visually interacting with the City's well-known skyline. Work No. 2630, UNDERSTANDING (2016) is the third and biggest iteration of Creed's large-scale rotating neon text sculptures including Work No. 1357, Mothers (2012), which was exhibited in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and Work No. 2070, People (2014).
One of Great Britain's most acclaimed contemporary artists and a 2001 Turner Prize winner, Creed works in a wide array of media including sculpture, painting, installation, choreography, and music. Making use of existing materials and situations, the artist creates works that question the definition of art with playful approach to conceptual minimalism. His logical and deadpan approach to artmaking is evident in the names he gives to his works, which are titled in numerical and sequential order. One of his best known pieces is Work No. 1197, All the Bells in a Country Rung as Quickly and Loudly as Possible for Three Minutes (2012), which Creed presented on the occasion of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Thousands participated in the piece, ringing bells from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in London to Millennium Square in Bristol to St Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire, and in hundreds of other churches and community centers throughout the United Kingdom to usher in the Olympics. Public Art Fund previously presented Creed's now-famed Work No. 225, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT (1999) on the façade the Hilton Times Square in 2000.
From June 8 to August 7, Park Avenue Armory will present a new exhibition by Creed, marking the most comprehensive survey of his work in the US to date. Utilizing both the Wade Thompson Drill Hall and the historic interiors of the building, the artist will animate the space with opening and closing doors, curtains, a slamming piano, and balloons, as well as new performance and video work. For more information, visit www.armoryonpark.org.
Martin Creed (b. 1968, Wakefield, England) lives and works in London. Solo exhibitions of his work have been recently presented at the Hayward Gallery, London (2014); Tate Britain, London (2013); The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburg (2013); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2012); MAMAC, France (2011); and the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2010). He was the recipient of the Turner Prize in 2001 for Work No. 227: The Lights Going On And Off. An accomplished musician, he has released several albums including Mind Trap (2014), Chicago (2012) and Love to You (2012). His latest album is due to be released this summer. His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate in London, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He studied at Slade School of Fine Art in London. Creed is represented by Gavin Brown's Enterprise and Hauser & Wirth.
Dates: May 4, 2015 – October 23, 2016
Hours: 6:00am – 1:00am daily Subways: 2, 3, 4, 5 to Borough Hall; R to Court Street; A, C to High Street; 2, 3 to Clark Street; ; F to York Street;.

Pea, Pear and Goat's Cheese Crostini
Rated 4.4 out of 5 based on 5 votes
- 150 g frozen peas
- 15 g spring onions, sliced
- 5 g fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 splash fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 1 x mini baguette
- 1 Tbls extra virgin olive oil
- 50 g chevre/goats cheese
A delicious spring snack or lunch. The quantities here make enough to top ten crostini – that's lunch for two in our house, but should probably go further.
Start by defrosting the peas. I do this by putting them in a small bowl and covering them with boiling water. Leave to stand for about a minute or two then drain. Place 100g of the peas into a mini food processor or the beaker of a stick blender and blend to a rough puree.
Transfer the pea puree to a bowl and combine with the rest of the whole peas, the mint, spring onions and the peeled and chopped pear. Mix well, so all the bits are evenly distributed then add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. The goats cheese is quite tart so I didn't put too much lemon juice in but if you like a zingy taste add more. Also season with salt and pepper taste. Set aside while you make the crostini.
Slice the bread, on an angle, into 1 centimeter thick slices. I made about ten. Drizzle the bread with olive oil and grill on medium high for a couple of minutes each side until brown but not burnt. The exact cooking times will vary depending on your grill so don't walk away like I often do or you'll end up with burnt bread.
To serve, top each crostini with a heaped tablespoon of the pea mixture then dot with some chevre. A great spring lunch.

I'd say a perfect spring lunch!
I tried this and found the greens had a gentle flavour and the cheese dominated the tower, i mixed it up with fine slivers of orange capsicum for a mellowing flavour, also providing an attractive bouquet of pees, pear and pepper. Otherwise a wonderful entre'… I had my guests asking for more!

PARIS -Paris police say 85 people have been detained in Paris on the fifth straight weekend of protests by the "yellow vests" movement, where thousands of people converged in the French capital.
Police say of those detained, 46 people have been arrested. No details have been given about why they were taken into custody.
Limited scuffles broke out between protesters and police on the sidelines of largely peaceful demonstrations near the city's Champs-Elysees boulevard, with riot police firing small amounts of tear gas to disperse groups of protesters heading down the side streets off the main avenue.
About 8,000 police and 14 armored vehicles were deployed in Paris for the demonstration, after similar protests in recent weekends turned violent, with protesters smashing and looting stores and setting up burning barricades in the streets.
12 p.m.
More scuffles have broken out in central Paris among "yellow vest" protesters and police, who fired tear gas to disperse a crowd trying to make their way through police lines.
The clashes broke out in a side street near the capital's famed Champs-Elysees boulevard Saturday morning, as groups of protesters headed off the main avenue into smaller nearby roads, some of them with traffic still flowing. Riot police blocked off access to some streets, attempting to keep the protests in specific areas.
Saturday marks the fifth straight weekend of demonstrations by the "yellow vest" movement, which takes its name from the fluorescent safety vests French motorists carry in their vehicles. It emerged mid-November as a protest against fuel tax increases and morphed into an expression of rage against the government

The First U.S. Ebola Case Was Just Confirmed In Dallas, Texas
On Tuesday afternoon, the CDC confirmed the U.S.' first Ebola case. The patient is currently in Dallas, Texas, according to the CDC. While four Americans have been struck with Ebola in West Africa and brought home to the U.S., this is the first case of a patient being diagnosed with Ebola inside the U.S. border. In a press conference Tuesday, CDC director Tom Frieden said that the patient returned to the U.S. from Liberia on Sept. 19-20, and first exhibited symptoms on Sept. 26.
"It does not appear" that the patient was there as an aid worker, Frieden added, and they are "critically ill."
Frieden also revealed that the patient was tested at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, and the case was confirmed just after 1 p.m. On Monday night, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital released a statement confirming that a patient was being tested for the virus.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas has admitted a patient into strict isolation to be evaluated for potential Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) based on the patient's symptoms and recent travel history. The hospital is following all Centers for Disease Control and Texas Department of Heath recommendations to ensure the safety of patients, hospital staff, volunteers, physicians and visitors. The CDC anticipates preliminary results tomorrow.
The CDC has sent a team to Dallas. Four patients in a handful of U.S. states had previously been tested for Ebola, but all had tested negative.
The difference between this case and previous cases of Americans being diagnosed with Ebola is that the patient was not isolated in the interim between being infected and being diagnosed. The four Americans diagnosed in West Africa were kept isolated while traveling from West Africa to the U.S., and so the risk of passing on the virus to others inside the U.S. was almost nonexistent.
The outbreak has killed more than 3,000 people in West Africa, making it the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history.
Last week, the CDC predicted that unless drastic measures were taken to curb Ebola's spread, it could infect up to 1.4 million people in West Africa by January.
While Ebola is a deadly virus, it's not a very contagious one; it spreads only through bodily fluids.

Full Guide on How to Start a Dropshipping Business without Much Stress.
How to Start a Dropshipping Business… Starting a dropshipping business is quite a good idea towards entrepreneurship. You will be able to sell products to your customers, define your own prices and market your own brand. This is a great business idea, and of course one of the most lucrative ideas for smart entrepreneurs, like you.
Let me ask you a question. What do you understand by the phrase "Dropshipping" I know you are shut of words because you don't have any idea about it. But let me put a smile on your face by telling you that this article will guide on the necessary information you need about dropshipping, how to start a dropshipping business and make money from it.
What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a business model in which the retailer sells products from the manufacturer or wholesaler to a person or group of people without having them in stock. (A retail method where a store does not keep products on sale. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third-party and has it shipped directly to the customer).
Dropshipping is an extremely popular business model for new entrepreneurs. Since you do not need to stock or handle the items you sell, it is possible to start a Dropshipping business with little capital.
Starting a dropshipping business is one of the easiest ways to make money online. If you are ready to run a business that can compete with the retail giants, on a limited budget, follow the guide below;
- Find your Niche and Decide what to Sell
The first thing to do before embarking on dropshipping business is to choose a niche. A niche is simply a subject or area of interest.
What do you like to sell? You do not have to mix different products from different niche to an online store. If you want to sell clothes, dropship different types of clothes. Do not add shoes or cosmetic products.
The niche you select must be something you are genuinely interested in. A range of products that is not focused will be difficult to market. If you are not passionate about the niche you select, you will be more willing to be discouraged, because it takes a lot of work to successfully scale up a dropshipping business.
- Start an Online Store
If you still remember, we told you that this business requires little capital. This is the most important area where you will have to spend some. It is important to note that for you to have a professional dropshipping business, you need an online store to present the products you want to sell.
One of the easiest ways to start a dropshipping business quickly and cheaply is to use an integrated product marketplace and an e-commerce platform. There are two popular ecommerce platform that we recommend:
- Shopify and
- Alidropship (AliExpress)
Shopify is a fully hosted eCommerce platform that start at $29/ month. It's a powerful eCommerce solution that includes everything you need to create an online store.
The downside to Shopify is that it gets quite expensive, and your payment options are limited unless you pay additional fees. This is why we recommend, Alidropship to anyone wishing to start a dropshippping business, on a limited budget.
AliDropship is an e-commerce plugin for AliExpress. It is designed to simplify the dropshipping process. The fact that it can be integrated with WordPress and WooCommerce means that you can add a dropshipping item to your current website or ecommerce store.
If you have experience with WordPress, you can easily create online stores via AliDropship Plugin for AliExpress. Even if you do not have enough knowledge or time to create a store independently, you will be able to order for an entire custom dropshipping store.
The custom dropshipping store is a complete dropshipping experience that is specially designed for you from scratch and includes AliExpress products so you can start selling immediately.
If you really are a beginner with little capital to start this business, we will recommend that you choose WordPress Alidropship (AliExpress) because it is very easy to set up and it is not expensive, unlike Shopify, where you will pay approximately $ 29 or more for the renewal, (as your monthly subscription).
- Choose your Preferred Supplier
Suppliers are the backbone of all dropshipping business. Why? This is simply because the standard and efficiency of your supplier will determine the success of your business. You may need to understand them seriously.
There are various suppliers in the dropshipping industry, one of the popular brands is AliExpress. There are other platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, Wallmart, etc.
This should be taken seriously, because doing business with the wrong supplier can ruin your business, so it's important not to rush until you select the supplier you want to start dropshipping business with. Carry out appropriate checks and tests.
- Start Marketing your Products
Building a successful business online takes more than selecting brands, writing product reviews, and starting selling products online. Even the best business ideas can fail if you do not drive enough traffic to your site.
As more and more businesses turn to the Internet to drive sales, the need for digital marketing experts has never been greater. It's a rapidly evolving industry with many challenges, but also many rewards, including potentially lucrative revenue.
Today digital marketing encompasses all marketing efforts that use electronic devices or the Internet. Companies use digital channels such as search engines, social media, email, and their sites to connect with current and potential clients.
Marketing has always been about connecting with your audience in the right place at the right time. Today, this means that you have to meet them where they already spend their time: on the Internet.
Here, we look at some of the best digital marketing strategies that you can implement to help your business grow and make money.
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
This should come first before anything else.
SEO is a marketing discipline focused on increasing the visibility of the results of organic (unpaid) search engines. It covers the technical and creative elements needed to improve rankings, drive traffic and increase awareness in search engines.
The main objective of SEO is to increase the visibility of your site in the search field. Each search engine gives a result based on certain key words or key phrases of the search query typed in the box and the most relevant result arrives at the top.
The point here is that, you must choose good keywords for each product that will easily rank on search engines. Because thousands, if not, millions of people buy products through Google search results. So, if your product is lucky to appear on Google front page, then it will make sales from that organic traffic.
- Content Marketing
Content marketing refers to the creation and publication of free online content for the purpose of promoting a particular product or service. It is a bridge of information between the consumer and the seller. It is used in search engine searches
If you are creative and have a strong suit in writing, this is one of the ways to make money from online marketing. When writing content, you must be able to understand the dynamics of the product. Content must be presented in such a way that a lay person can understand and buy the product.
- Social Media Marketing
As an aspiring online entrepreneur, you cannot ignore the impending dominance of social commerce. Social commerce is the practice of selling through social networks such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. In fact, a handful of major fashion brands such as Moda Operandi, Rent the Runway, Stylyt, etc. have already migrated to social commerce for higher selling.
Most social media networks have their own data analytics tools that make it easy to create and promote social media marketing campaigns. Due to the continuous dissemination of social media discussions and opinions, there would be an immediate notifiable product and it would also be shared on other platforms, which would help to publicize the product.
- Email Marketing
Email marketing is an innovative way of marketing. This is a marketing tool in which an advertiser sends an email to the recipient detailing the products and offers available.
You need a way of capturing email addresses, such as a request to sign-up at checkout, or an offer that requires an email address. Once you have a decent list of email addresses you have a way of reaching a large group of people regularly, for free.
The best part of this type of digital marketing are the product is advertised to a large audience and it has a far outreach than the traditional method of marketing.
It has the potential to reach millions of clients with a click, the best way to build a relationship with potential customers in an intimate way.
It always our pleasure, hearing from you! If you have any feedback, questions or concerns, please use the comment box below.
Most important, don't hesitate using our share button below to inform – friends and relation via Facebook, twitter or Google+
Best Regards

You'll find hundreds of files on cleft lip, cleft palate here on widesmiles.org.
This one is about: Mandibular Jaw Advancement (or Distraction)
(c) 1998 Wide Smiles

Mandibular Jaw Advancement (or Distraction)
From one family's experience:
Mandibular advancement or distraction osteogensis is used on a child when there is underdeveloped jaw (BTW - They are using this on the upper jaw also). Basically, they place a surgical cut through the bone on the affected side (if necessary both sides), and apply this device on the outside of the face to maintain stability. One week post op, the parents start to separate the 2 bone pieces 1mm/day until they doctor says enough.
My daughter had her left side of her expanded by 25.5 mm (little over an inch) when she was 2-1/2 y/o. When she was two, she had a bone graft since she was missing the left side of her jaw. The jaw advancement was a walk in the park compared to the bone graft.
I know conventional wisdom says to wait for jaw surgery until the child is about 11 years but with mandibular advancement at this age the jaw bone becomes stronger, studies have shown it is better to do at this age since the surrounding structures become aligned.
In my daughter's case, she will get her trach out in late spring, and currently she has a closed bite (not bad for the worst classification of jaw deficiency). Psychologically, it is a tremendous benefit to the child to have this done prior to school.
The bottom line ... check with your craniofacial team. I do not know too much about PRS since my daughter has hemifacial microsomia.
I have a file cabinet full of professional publications (articles). I would suggest to go to the following web sites: National Institute of Health - grateful med
Look up the following subjects:
mandibular hypoplasia
distraction osteogenesis
As far as the above is concerned, what I did was to review the abstracts. If anything interest me, I went to a medical Library or the Regional NIH library. (I'm lucky since I live in the suburbs of NYC.)
Also, for the layperson, go into NYU Medical Center's Web site at
This site provides a little information about distraction osteogenesis that is somewhat readable. Good luck.

M221 & SoMachine Basic - ANALOG INPUT SCALING
horvatmiha posted a topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider ElectricHello! I am new at PLC programming. I am using TM221CE16R PLC with TM3AI8 analog input module and SoMachine Basic v1.6. I am trying to scale analog input value. I am using 4-20 mA pressure sensor. I managed my wiring so that I get raw values in SoMachine Basic. But I don't know how to scale these values to usable values. My sensor works in range 0 - 16 bar. What is best way to get values? Is it PID function block or multioperand function block using equations to get range 0 - 16? I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
SoMachine Basic Modbus Read_Var help
JohnB315 posted a topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider ElectricHi guys, I have an M221 and trying to read process data from a HACH controller via Modbus 485. In the Read_Var function block I need to configure ObjType, FirstObj, Quantity and IndexData. Slave ID is 3 and I am using SL2. So, say if I wanted to read to following registers, Register #40001, Data Type Integer, Length 1, Description- Sensor Measure Register #40005, Data Type Float, Length 2, Description - Sensor Temp Register #40007, Data Type String, Length 6, Description - Sensor Name what do I put into the Read_Var function ? I am completely new to this and it's just not clear to me. Thanks John

Our planet faces a number of major challenges, such as world hunger and financial inclusion. It can't just be up to individuals and non-profits to help make change. Financial institutions have a role to play, too. If we can convene and catalyze capital with companies and causes, it will help many of these issues get solved. This piece is the first in a three-part series on sustainable finance.
When most people hear the term sustainable finance, they think of socially responsible investing (SRI) and the growing list of companies that take environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into account. While SRI is expanding – U.S.-domiciled assets under management (AUM) using SRI strategies hit $12 trillion at the start of 2018k, up 38% since 2016 – and more companies are considering ESG factors, sustainable finance is about more than buying stocks and green bonds.
Over the next decade, several global issues will come to a head, including water scarcity, income inequality, climate change, food shortages and other social or planet-altering problems. It's been easy for people to ignore some of these things, but it won't be long before we must find solutions. While the onus is often on individuals to donate money to causes, industry, and especially the financial sector – including banks, capital markets and institutional investors – also have an important role to play.
Sustainable finance is when all parts of the financial industry come together to convene and catalyze capital to solve big problems. While the definition includes investors buying ESG investments, it also refers to the development of new investment products, bringing companies to public markets, financing new projects and so on. It's the buy side, the sell side and everything in between.
Helping solve the world's many problems is certainly a feel-good endeavor, but it presents a significant economic opportunity. According to the United Nations, about USD$1.4 trillion annually will be needed to end extreme poverty, while climate action can offer potential economic gains of approximately USD$26 trillion by 2030*. About USD$7 trillion annually will be required to tackle the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are 17 goals, such as improving gender equality and education, that organizations can use to help them decide where to invest first.
Clearly, there's an opportunity here, but how to take advantage of that opportunity may be less obvious. For sustainable finance to work, people need to think holistically. It's called systems thinking, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, one group can't solve these issues by themselves. Rather, experts across multiple disciplines need to come together to work on the best solutions for these problems. For instance, if someone wants to create a financial product to help fund water projects, it would help to have scientists, policy-makers and economists, along with product developers and financial experts, to determine the best approach.
Systems thinking also requires individuals and groups to see these problems as interconnected issues (Fig. 2). For example, there's no single thing that will end poverty. It's linked to many other problems, such as income inequality, access to clean water, food scarcity, affordable housing and so on. World hunger involves agriculture, climate change and access to land. The more people we can engage in this process, and the more we acknowledge these connections, the more effective products and solutions we'll be able to develop.
As for those products and services, the financial industry must continue thinking more broadly about what it can provide. A decade ago, the World Bank introduced its first green bond, and while there are roughly $500 billion of green bonds outstanding, they represent less than 1% of the bond market.
The green bond market will continue to grow – a Global Green Bond Partnership was launched in September 2018 to accelerate the issuance of green bonds – but more needs to be done. The industry is at a nascent point in developing a robust suite of products aimed at solving these global problems.
So, where can companies start? Begin by looking at the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It covers many of the biggest issues and outlines how these goals are related to one another. Figure out which goals resonates most with your organization and then think about how you can do your part.
An institutional investor, for instance, may decide to invest in an agriculture startup that's found a new way to grow food; an investment firm may want to create a mutual fund that focuses on water infrastructure; a capital markets group might focus on bringing clean energy companies to market. Then bring those scientists, engineers and economists to the table to help talk through your solutions.
Sustainable finance may still be a foreign concept to many, but it won't be long before everyone's talking about it. Through collaboration and innovation financial firms can help make the world a better place – and generate strong returns in the process.

|Re: [lang][collections] Overlap; Collections thoughts
|Sat, 02 Jan 2010 17:22:16 GMT
I do not like the divide between Lang and Collections. I think it's a superficial divide that can never really be complete, and the forces of logic naturally pulls us back together in some regards. It's consternation to keep these projects separate. Why must we keep trying? I'd like to propose merging the projects and then breaking them down into separate Maven child modules (i.e., distribution assemblies). I'd rather have one release with smaller artifacts. Perhaps we can do this for Commons Lang 3 (or, if we must, wait till 4).

Have you even noticed that there is a status bar at the bottom of your excel window? A lot of my students who have been using Excel for a number of years don't know of its existence. This area of Excel is rather useful so I thought I'd take the time to explain it.
When you first open Excel the status bar is rather empty. All you see is "Ready" and a macro tool on the left hand side. On the right you have three different view choices and the zoom control.
· Ready means that Excel is in a state of ability to accept data.
· The macro tool is one way of starting to record your macro.
· The tree view choices are: – Normal, Page Layout, Page Break Preview.
· Zoom is so very important. So that you can either zoom out to see just how large your sheet is or zoom in for detail. (especially when you're tired and there are lots of numbers to read).
When you have a spreadsheet of text and numbers the status bar holds far more information.
What does the status bar tell you?
Here is a basic sheet.
Select the first column of numbers. B3:B6.
Look at the status bar now. It gives you a visual calculation of how many cells selected hold data, how many of them are numbers and what those numbers add up to.
Right mouse click on the status bar and a list appears.
Every item in this list that is ticked is active, though not necessarily shown at all times. Just select the items you require or deselect the ones you don't need.

Two orphaned grizzly cubs rescued late last fall have been released back into the wild.
After spending the winter at Smithers' Northern Lights Wildlife shelter in a pen with three other grizzly cubs from other parts of the province, and gaining a couple of hundred pounds, the two healthy cubs were loaded into traps at the shelter and transported west of Terrace June 17.
Conservation officers Ryan Gordon, Sgt. Tracy Walbauer and Provincial Wildlife Vet Helen Schwantje from Victoria along with Northern Lights staff prepared the cubs for their release far from people.
The cubs were drugged, blood and hair samples were collected and a health assessment was completed.
Both bears were fitted with radio collars, to track their movements for up to two years.
The bears were flown by Silver King helicopters to a remote wilderness location southwest of Terrace, where they were released.
Last November, conservation officers were called out to a dead grizzly sow near Kitimat and successfully trapped her two cubs, a male and female, who were last year's cubs.
There was no indication that they had been eating garbage so they met the criteria to go to Northern Lights where staff fed and cared for them while keeping them wild.
At that time, it wasn't clear how the grizzly sow had died as an initial field post-mortem didn't determine anything definite.
It was thought she might have been hit by traffic as Alcan changed shifts but there were no signs of impact or broken bones on the sow.
No bullets or bullet entry wounds were found either so it was thought she might have died of natural causes.

Cranbury, NJ, Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
With the launch of its new Reveal embedded business intelligence platform, Infragi
Reveal can reduce in-house development time by 85% and cut development costs by as much as $350,000 (based on average U.S. salaries) by letting developers use pre-built components designed by UX and analytics experts. Development time savings are based on seven months—an average time for a vendor to build their own analytics and visualization capability—versus an estimated one month to embed an existing analytics/visualization product.
"Reveal is optimized as a developer, cloud and mobile first solution," says Jason Beres, Senior VP of Developer Tools, Infragistics. "We built it using modern technology and native toolkits for web, desktop, iOS and Android. This allows users to create beautiful dashboards on one device and easily share it with others who can experience the exceptional beauty on any other screen or device."
SuperStream Inc., a long-time, global user of Infragistics' business intelligence tools, noted about the Reveal release:
"We've been really happy with Infragistics' embedded analytics tools over the years. We are excited by Reveal's beautiful data visualizations and drag and drop simplicity," said SuperStream Chief Technology Officer Makoto Yamada.
Software Vendors Say Embedded Analytics in Demand
The use of data is exploding in businesses, government, and nonprofits, and many ISV's, CTO's and marketing executives say that embedded analytics add great value to their apps. Surveys have shown that over 90 percent of software vendors report an increase in competitive differentiation because of embedded analytics.
With Reveal, enterprises can embed the dashboard/analytic engine into their SaaS or on-premise apps with
Reveal includes dozens of data connectors, as well as an in-memory data cache that delivers fast dashboard rendering. This makes it easier to get insights real-time and in context while removing the need for users to navigate away from the ISV's application to view, edit or even create new dashboards. Additional features—sharing dashboards, annotating them and exporting
Reveal's key benefits include:
- Superior Customer Experience
Reveal's modern architecture was designed to enable a true self-service solution. With drag and drop simplicity, Reveal lets users create, edit and share dashboards without the need for a data analyst. When users self-serve, they gain control and become more productive with the app.
- Fast, Easy Integration
Many embedded BI vendors insist their ISV customers use the vendor's proprietary cloud platform to host their app. This requires a cumbersome and complex series of imports and exports across multiple applications in an environment that is unfamiliar to ISVs. With Reveal's SDKs, developers can use their own resources—either a private server, a desktop, or their own cloud environment.
- Modern UX
Reveal adds a new, modern UX to apps that includes engaging, informative and eye-popping visual dashboards that help transform the user experience of an app.
- Increased ROI
Software vendors face constant pressure to improve and differentiate their app to reduce churn. In an age of free trials where users often "try before they buy," the apps that succeed will be those that are "stickier" — the ones that give users more value the more they use the app. Easy-to-use analytics within the context of the app creates this stickiness.
Novel Pricing: Fixed and Predictable
Infragistics is offering Reveal for one simple, fixed price—setting a new level of transparency in the industry. Many software solutions charge their app developer customers on a per-user or usage-based pricing model, making it costly for the developer as the app grows in popularity. Reveal's pricing is set: a one-time price of $90,000 for three years per application, or $40,000 annually for three years. A one-year price of $50,000 is also available.
About Infragistics
Over the past 30 years, Infragistics has become the world leader in providing user interface development tools and multi-platform Enterprise software products and services to accelerate application design and development, including building business solutions for BI and dashboarding. More than two million developers use Infragistics enterprise-ready UX and UI toolkits to rapidly prototype and build high-performing applications for the cloud, web, Windows, iOS and Android devices. The company offers expert UX services and award-winning support from its locations in the U.S., U.K., Japan, India, Bulgaria and Uruguay
