Early Childhood WIC Use and Children's School Readiness
Presented: Washington DC, Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Annual Fall Research Conference, November 2018
Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79

The goal of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is to support the health and well-being of low-income women, infants, and children by providing pregnant women and children up to five years old with access to nutritious food. While the health benefits of WIC for young children have been well studied (Cole & Fox, 2008; Mackey-Bilaver, 2007), its potential non-health benefits, including improvements in children's early cognitive and socio-emotional wellbeing, have been practically unexplored. The one study to examine non-health outcomes found that prenatal WIC exposure predicted better cognitive outcomes at age 2 and educational outcomes at age 11 (Jackson, 2015). The goal of the present study is to expand that work by examining associations between WIC during early childhood (ages 0 - 5) and a broad set of cognitive and behavioral outcomes at school entry, between ages 5 and 7.

Differential Parenting of Biologically Vulnerable Versus Nonvulnerable Children By Socioeconomic Status
Presented: Chicago IL, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2017
Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79
Publisher: Population Association of America
Keyword(s): Birthweight; Children, Temperament; Parental Investments; Parenting Skills/Styles; Socioeconomic Status (SES)
Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.
It is well-established that socioeconomic (SES) disadvantage and biological vulnerability contribute to SES-based gaps in children's school readiness. The proposed study will investigate one way in which these two disadvantages may jointly exacerbate these early gaps: low-SES parents may invest fewer resources in vulnerable children, whereas high-SES parents may invest equally or more in them. Unlike prior research, the study focuses on investment during early childhood and examines two biological vulnerabilities: low birth weight (LBW) and difficult temperament. Investments are compared among siblings to minimize the influence of family-specific characteristics that might bias associations, drawing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Maternal and Child Supplement. Results indicate that low-SES parents are less cognitively stimulating with LBW infants, whereas higher-SES parents are not, but that parents across SES are less stimulating with difficult versus average temperament children and are more likely to report spanking them in infancy.

These are the two issues identified when proposals were handed back and forth on March 1st.
Amazing describes the very real work that Management and the Union have done to find a solution that can be supported. Contact your organizer or me if you have questions about the specifics.

Twitter – Boon or Bane of Business
For any of you who have yet to join the site, Twitter is a micro-blogging site in which each post is 140 characters or less. People "follow" the posts of other people, and have their own posts followed. Coupled with the ability to search for topics of interest and to share and filter information quickly, this site has seen itself applied to a variety of uses.
Business Boon
Some businesses have applied Twitter to increase their revenues. Pushing out information in an easy-to-share manner, new products and services can be promoted quickly and easily.
One ice cream cart in Toronto used Twitter to post the special flavor of the day each morning. Another mobile business used it to update their location on a regular basis (though now there's another service just for this feature).
Another typical use is for customer service – Twitter provides a very public way for customers to connect with a company and get issues resolved rapidly. Because the feeds are generally public, a good customer service response can gain a lot of positive publicity.
The search functionality as well is beneficial to businesses. Needs can be identified, and potential customers can be found by looking through posts and filtering by a variety of keywords. Posting questions to the public can gain interesting feedback as the crowd weighs in on the issues.
Business Bane
Of course, no system is perfect. A large number of the posts on Twitter are completely inane, not to mention those generated by bots. While choosing who to follow, as I do, can limit the amount of complete rubbish entering your feed, there's never any complete escaping it (unless, of course, you just don't visit the site at all). From a business perspective, having employees spend time on Twitter can result in large amounts of wasted time as people click through links, read posts that have nothing to do with their work, and potentially post information damaging to the business (although this last point has more to do with trusting your employees to be responsible than Twitter in particular).
As such, the time spent on Twitter in the business world can be something that drains time from other, more productive tasks.
Personally, I use Twitter, and have found it to be quite useful for sharing information, getting answers to questions, and engaging with people I would otherwise not interact with. However, like most things in life, the issue here is not black and white, but one of responsible use and moderation.
How about you? What do you think of Twitter, and what are some of the issues you see businesses facing with the now massive micro-blogging engine?

Aloisi thrilled as Roar edge Mariners to jump into top six
It wasn't Brisbane Roar's best performance but Head Coach John Aloisi admitted the three points was all that mattered after his side's gritty 1-0 win over the Mariners on Saturday night.
A 13th-minute strike from fan-favourite Henrique, his first in Brisbane orange in almost two years, proved to be enough for the hosts to pile the pressure on fellow finals contenders and climb into the top six.
The win saw Roar usurp Wanderers into sixth spot ahead of next week's crucial clash with Josep Gombau's side in Sydney.
"We knew that it was going to be a tough game. They only had one real chance in the first half, and in the second we showed them just what we could do and controlled it," Aloisi said.
"We should have won the game more comfortably, but all in all, we're really happy because we needed those three points.
"It was great to see Henrique score. He played well and kept causing them problems, as did Eric [Bautheac], Fahid [Ben Khalfallah] and Massimo [Maccarone]."
Frenchman Eric Bautheac was named as man of the match and says the attention now turns to finishing the season strongly and extending the campaign into the Finals Series.
"This win is very important because we only have a few matches left. Now, we have two games that are like finals for us, and to get the win was important for us and our confidence," Bautheac said.

MP3 Gloria La Nina Rivera & Robin Adnan Anders - Cantar Tambor Bailar -To Sing To Drum To Dance
A CubanMediteranean fusion featuring vocals and percussion
8 MP3 Songs
LATIN: General, WORLD: Middle East
The Voice And The Drum...
The Story And The Rhythm...
The Heart And Soul Of Music In Any Culture...
The first musical instruments were born of a human need to participate with the nature of
life. The birds sing, the rivers flow, sound was our first realization of and innate connection to
the expression of life. All musical instruments are our attempt at reflecting and imitating the
sound made by God''s gift, the voice. From the cadence of our heartbeat to the longer cycles
of the seasons and the ages we are immersed in rhythm.
I met Gloria in a small Mayan village in the Mexican Caribbean. She had recently moved from
her home in the heart of Havana Vieja (Old Havana), Cuba. Love of music became our bond.
We performed in an incredible variety of venues, from Cancun to Tulum, from Jazz clubs to
beach parties and festivals. As a duo our sound was unique and intimate. With up thirty
international drummers backing us, it was electrifying! Almost every day Gloria would say,
"You must come to Cuba with me!". Gloria began to unfold the tale of the musical legacy of
her family.
Gloria''s father Nino Rivera, composer, arranger and tres player extraordinaire, literally
invented the big-band Afro-Cuban sound. A revolutionary innovator, Nino and the
members of Mongo Santa Maria''s band, began combining the sacred instruments of
Yoruba in ways that were traditionally taboo. Gloria''s mother, Elisa Portal, was a
renowned singer as well. Her parents were both decorated national musical heroes.
In 1980 Nino Rivera won the coveted Cultura Cubana Award, which was presented to
him in person by Presidente Fidel Castro (Gloria was there too!). Arturo Sandoval,
Iraquere, Sergio Vitier, Los Van Van and many other Cuban musical greats were also
honored that day. Nino was also a founding father of the Buena Vista Social Club - the
"Cuban Rat-Pack". When Ry Cooder was assembling the cast for the Buena Vista
Social Club movie soundtrack, the boys were so heartbroken at the late Nino''s absence,
they decided that as a tres player and amigo he was irreplaceable. Hence no tres player
was hired for the sessions.
Nothing could have prepared me for the whirlwind tour Gloria took me on in Havana.
We saw sixteen bands in ten days! Remarkably, all the stars (who tour constantly)
were all in town at the same time! We visited Tata Guines in his home near Gloria''s.
We jammed with Changuito, Chu Cho Valdes and family at the Havana Jazz club
Zorra Y el Cuervo (The Fox and the Bull). (A couple years later Gloria and I worked
at Roots Jazz Club in Cancun with Chu Cho Valdes Jr. (Chu Chito). I was welcomed
and featured with Sergio Pereda''s band, Los Jovenes Classicos Del Son entertaining
men in white suits smoking cigars and the most beautiful women on the planet in a
classic Spanish palace courtyard! I remember I was playing a tune with the band when
all the musicians except the drummers left the stage. I was surprised to realize that all
the other drummers were leaving too, leaving the Minnesota North-Woods drummer -
fisherman holding an Arabic drum and the groove. The eyes of the audience got very
wide and a lot of heads were scratched until they realized that I was playing their own
music on an instrument they had never seen before. They all jumped up and danced!
We also saw Manolito Simonet, Tata Guines and made a guest appearance on the
Cuban MTV takeoff Contacto. The thing that struck me in the end was that I had seen
sixteen bands, all Cuban, who were so different in style and arrangement you would
never know that were from the same country. This was the essence of Cuban music,
an innovative, constantly evolving melting pot of musical creativity fueled by possibly
the most energetic, enigmatic people in the world.
So Gloria, like her father, was not content to play only the traditional styles and tunes.
She had every intent of creating her vision. With my background as a world fusion player
I knew that this was going to be very interesting. She suggested that we record a CD
combining Mediterranean percussion with songs composed by her father, mother and
friends mixed with Yoruban Orishas (chants). We intentionally made the arrangements
sparse and ambient to present Gloria''s voice and the songs themselves with the intimacy
and beauty of the island of Cuba itself.
Soon after Cuba, I was fortunate to find a beautiful private lake in the Boundary Waters
near the Minnesota/Canada border where I could build my dream recording studio.
This proved to be a perfect environment for the creative process with no pressure on the
artist/fisherman. The wind and solar powered, studio is miles from "civilization" in a pristine
but sometimes bear-inhabited wilderness. Listen deeply for the sound of the wind and
water in this recording, this gift from Gloria and me. Can you hear it?

Wichita Man Sentenced In Armed Bank Robbery
WICHITA, KAN. - A Wichita man was sentenced Monday to seven years in federal prison for his part in robbing a local bank, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.
Andre Bryant, 30, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting or brandishing a firearm in a crime of violence. In his plea, he admitted that on June 13, 2016, he and co-defendants robbed the Carson Bank at 4461 E. Douglas in Wichita. Two individuals who were disguised entered the bank, one of them brandishing a firearm. They demanded and received money before fleeing. The money they received contained a global positioning device that police used to track Bryant and the co-defendants and arrest them.
Co-defendants Raishat Magill and Elijah Shelton are set for sentencing Thursday.
Beall commended the Wichita Police Department, the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Smith for their work on the case.

You might not necessarily think of the Cook Islands as your first choice for a Christmas destination and if you're used to a snowy white Christmas (as is the case in the Northern Hemisphere) you might even find the idea a bit strange.
But we're here to present the other side of the story and make a strong case as to why you should bring yourself and your family and enjoy a Christmas, Cook Islands' style!
1. Enjoy the Cook Islands without the crowds
We don't like to boast, but the Cook Islands are a top destination for holidaymakers from all around the world and can be a pretty popular place at times.
Christmas in the Pacific, however, is a comparatively quiet time of year which means you'll get much more of what's on offer in the Cook Islands to yourself!
There's less demand for rooms/places to stay which means you have more choice as a guest. There are plenty of rental cars (and scooters) to go around too which means you'll be able to potentially save a bit of money getting around as well.
The same goes for activities (like paddleboarding/lagoon cruises) as well as restaurant bookings too. It basically makes everything just a bit easier and more intimate as well for you and whoever you're with.
2. Swapping a snowy Christmas for a sandy one
We're not trying to say there's anything wrong with a snowy white Christmas but if you haven't already, you have to make sure you try our version of it too, at least once in your life!
You'll swap out your woolly jumpers and scarfs for swimming gear and sunglasses as you relax on our beaches with long stretches of golden sand and warm lagoon waters.
It may feel a little strange if you're used to the opposite at first, but trust us, you'll quickly come around, especially when your usual hot beverages are replaced with our cool Christmas cocktails.
3. No fuss, no stress
As lovely as Christmas at home with the family can be, it does inevitably come with a bit of Christmas stress and frenzy.
First, you have all the shopping that needs to be done, usually at the last minute, in crowded and busy malls. Then there's the big family gathering and all the organisation/food preparation etc that goes into that. Then (if you have kids) it's all the excitement and energy they've got, usually from relatives giving them too much candy. After all that, you're often in need of another holiday!
You'll find your experience quite a bit different in the Cook Islands. There aren't any malls, the pace of life is casual and relaxed and you'll be on "Island time" which ticks away nice and slowly. Hard to think of many places more relaxing than the Cook Islands at Christmas, that's for sure!
4. Cook Island Christmas events
The other great thing about being in the Cook Island over Christmas is that you'll have the opportunity to go to some of the Christmas events that take place which is a unique thing in itself.
This includes (but is not limited to) the lighting of the Islands' Christmas lights in December which adds a very festive atmosphere and looks great at night. There's also the Saturday markets that fully get into the Christmas spirit over this time also attended by Santa himself.
Speaking of Santa, he also has his own parade in mid-December which is a lovely occasion for the whole community that's great to see and participate in. As well as this, there many other events like Christmas carolling, light shows, movie nights and park events that you can add to the list.
5. Unique experiences and lifelong memories
The best thing about spending your Christmas in the Cook Islands is that it's such a unique thing to do which will give you and your family lifelong memories to cherish and enjoy. You'll be able to post some amazing Cook Island Christmas photos and be the envy of all your friends.
The great thing about this is that your experience will likely inspire others to do the same in the future and then they'll have you to thank for it. So really, by going on Christmas holiday in the Cook Islands you're doing it for them in the spirit of giving.
Come to the Cook Islands for Christmas!
We hope we've made a good case for celebrating one of your next Christmas holidays in the Cook Islands. With the warmth of the Pacific sun and the hospitality and friendliness of the Cook Islanders, we're sure it'll be one of the best festive decisions you've ever made.

Human vs Harper has been handed a notebook belonging to Dr. Solver A. Dogster. It appears that Dr. Dogster has been hired to run a support group for Conservative MPs and cabinet ministers suffering under the mental strain of having to present a united front behind the Prime Minister.
His notes indicate that he had some hesitation in taking on the job. "All of them together in the same room is a substantial amount of repressed frustration. If one blows, the whole lot will likely explode. It will take all my skill and experience to contain them." Continue reading

Along with my love of photography I also have a love for old vintage cameras. In fact, I collect them!
My collection all started when I was cleaning out my great grandmother's house to sell with my family. I found almost all of the cameras that I have in her house. My favorite definitely has to be the Polaroid camera. It still works!! Everyone and then I will take a picture with it of something I really think is pretty or something I want to remember.
My most recent addition was this Kodak I found in the same booth that I found my Back From the 80s jeans. I actually missed it until my mom came up and saw it. She immediately picked it up and started talking about how she remembers them. I looked at it and saw it was only $5 and I knew I had to add it to my collection!
Old cameras are such good decorations and they really show off my love for photography! I cannot wait till I can add more to my collection!

40 years, 10 films, $7.5 billion+ in box-office revenue, countless fans.
The recent release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi got the SmarterCX team thinking about how the movie-watching experience has evolved over the past 40 years, and how an iconic franchise like Star Wars has created unforgettable customer experiences.
To get first-hand insights, we informally surveyed our colleagues, family members, friends, and each other, and found that almost every person has had a memorable experience with Star Wars – from piling into a VW in 1977 to watch the first movie at the drive-in, to pre-ordering tickets to the newest film, and everything in between.
Here are 3 things that Star Wars taught us about customer experience, and the delicate balance of new and nostalgic.
As consumer expectations evolve, so must the buying experience. BUT, CX professionals are wise to keep some of the nostalgia alive.
Ming Chen, friend, and one of the biggest Star Wars fans we know (he has $15,000 worth of Star Wars collectibles) says he will not miss opening day of Star Wars: The Last Jedi for anything. He reserved his tickets online two months ago, and knows exactly which theater, what time, and what seats he'll be sitting in. Is this a good thing?
"The internet actually has taken the fun out of 'getting tickets'," Ming said. Although he likes having the movie time and a seat reserved, he misses the fun and the thrill of getting a good seat. "I'd still like to be able to get there early and 'beat' all the others to the good seats in the middle." Ming does report, however, that the comfortable seating, including more leg room, wider seats, and dine-in viewing is a preferable experience to theater seating of the past.
As technology evolves, so has the movie watching experience – mostly for the better. BUT, some things can remain the same.
Where the importance of preserving nostalgia is concerned, Nicole Rucinski, Director, Field Marketing at Oracle, would agree. Nicole remembers paying about $4 per ticket to see the first Star Wars movie, and waiting in line for 3 hours with her family of 16 to watch it at Astor Plaza in Times Square.
"We got a button to wear with our ticket that said 'May the Force be with you' and the music was so loud in the movie compared to the dialogue that when the music came on, everyone had to stick napkins in their ears!" Nicole remembers.
She's seen every Star Wars movie since then, and although the sound quality has improved, the lack of "exclusivity" has taken away some of the excitement. "It was a family activity then, marked on the calendar as a special treat for 'being good'. Now it feels like it's just another movie that everyone will see whenever it's good for them. It's not a special treat, it's just part of the week."
While technology and innovations in CX are expected, the lasting feeling of the experience is most important in the customer's mind. Technology and innovation should drive these feelings.
"It changed the course of my life," Mike Monello, Partner at Campfire and Co-Producer on The Blair Witch Project, said about the first Star Wars film. "Star Wars made me look at movie theaters differently. They were no longer places to go see movies but more temples for transformative experiences. George Lucas instilled the importance of movie theaters in the overall experience of cinema by developing THX sound and pushing theaters to improve the overall experience. Lucas didn't just make movies, he wanted to control, as best he could, the total experience of his films."
When Mike's kids reached movie-going age, he had a hard time getting them excited about going to the theaters. Streaming services were their movie-watching medium of choice as theaters were slow to transform the experience at the pace of customers' expectations. "Eventually my kids told me going to the theater wasn't worth the hassle of riding the subway!" Mike said. "But the tide is changing – reserved seating and recliners have improved the experience. We've gone to more movies at the theater in the last year than in the previous five."
While it may be tough to fulfill every movie-goer's desires and even tougher to replicate the experience that Star Wars has created for its fans for generations, maintaining a close relationship with customers and their expectations is key to ruling the CX galaxy.

It was a little bit tempting to approach the first of our new Meet the Floveyor Team Q and A sessions as something of a spy interrogation, because – well, just because it's early in January, and it's hard being back at work after the Christmas and New Year break. Should I prepare a classified file on the first (un)willing victim? Maybe shine a desk-lamp in their eyes until they revealed their favourite colour? It might even – oh dear – be necessary to invoke a higher power in order to get all the answers.
As the higher power at Floveyor is our CEO Rhys's labrador/office enforcer, Ember, this means death by slobbery affection.
Our subject was smart enough to front up before I had to go this far.
Name: Tony Di Rosso
Role: Purchasing & Logistics Manager
Time with Floveyor: 7 years
The first thing everyone should know about Tony is this. He is incredibly calm. If there is a hurricane raging around the Floveyor offices, he is the small, still eye where everyone tries to take shelter before they are thrown back out into the maelstrom to face off against flying monkeys and the Wicked Witch of the West (probably me).
In a sentence, Tony's job is controlling all of the purchasing for Floveyor, running logistics including all imports/exports, and managing spare parts sales. For him, it is the variety in his role that makes it so enjoyable.
"Every day is different and contains variables. One day, I could be working exclusively on purchase orders, the next – organising import permissions. The day after, I've had to concentrate solely on sales. It makes for an interesting and constantly changing work environment."
Tony joined Floveyor seven years ago, bringing a wealth of managerial and industry experience from his own business – twenty years at the helm of an industrial and mining supply company. Having sold this very successful concern, he attempted early retirement. He managed twelve months, before his natural work ethic came to the fore, kicking him off the fourth hole of his local golf course and back into the workplace.
He feels very strongly that the culture of Floveyor is one that has kept him wanting to work.
"This is a workplace that encourages autonomy and independent thinking. They hire good people who know what they're doing, and they give them their trust, allowing them to get on and do their job.
"It's what made me stay."
An AFL fan (the Eagles), Tony's great loves are fishing, his boat, and anything on two or four wheels – as long as there's a fair few RPM involved.
"If it's got an engine in it and it goes fast, I'll watch it", he says, "except for NASCAR." Being a bit of a revhead myself, I can't fault his thinking on either the former or the latter statement. I also can't argue with his music tastes, which stop at the millennial mark.
Tony is an amazing asset to the Floveyor team, not just for his calm and centred presence, but because he is always ready to help out. He truly sums up Floveyor's value statement of 'integrity in everything'. His approach to his fellow team members is probably best summed up by his own words, when asked the dreaded 'life philosophy in a nutshell' question:
"Just live life. Live it. Don't take it, or yourself, too seriously. Focus on today and what you can do here and now."
Tony certainly focuses in his work life, and he is an essential part of Team Floveyor.

from Colonel Mustard
The wind and rain and cold made it a tough day for passing, so I'll cut our QB some slack this time. But I can no longer remain silent about the Pinnacle radio team. The name itself oozes irony.
- Warren Swain: First tell us where the ball is, then give us all the gory details. Oh, and congratulations on acquiring a pulse.
- Adrian Fiala: Is there anything rattling around in that head of yours that isn't a cliche?
- Tommie Frazier: I'm praying hard that you get healthy and stay healthy, because you were born to tote a pigskin, not a microphone.
- Jerry Tagge: Back in '70 and '71 you were surrounded by loads of talent, but not now. How does it feel to be carrying this team?
So now the CU Vermin are coming to town, and suddenly they're feeling special because they beat the Mildcats by a dozen. Aw, let's just play along and let 'em dream. After all, they're harmless -- all those mountains, but no stones. They had their hands full against the 'Cats and the 'Clones at home, and now they're gonna stick it to the Huskers in Lincoln? Right -- and Dick Lamm is our next president! CU has come up with the perfect motivational chant, "Nine-deuce." It's in honor of their seniors, the recruiting class of '92. It fits them like a nifty Neuheisel turtleneck, because ya know what their record will be after they scrape Detmer off the Memorial Stadium rug and head off for yet another second-rate bowl? That's right: nine and two.

|List of Sliders episodes
A man in a tent makes a phone call to his partner, a geologists, frantically raving about something he's found that could be living underground making incredible vibrations. Then he is ambushed and taken to a cove on the beach where something sucks him down into the earth (we don't see what it is at first, all we see is trail in the sand left by something moving under him). And then the sliders arrive, wandering into a small town that is inhabited by people who are very wary of strangers, and also appear to be quite young, in fact, other than a strange old lady named Trudy, Arturo is the oldest one there, no one any older than 30. Well to make a long story short, they end up discovering the towns secret, it turns out that in the 1950s, there was some kind of explosion at the uranium mine down by the shore, and it mutated a worm into a terrifying monster (in the episode, Quinn refers to the creature as, "some kind of freak nemertine," which Remmy clarifies for us as Latin for, "big freakin' worm.") Originally, however, the towns people tried to kill this beast until they found something it left behind, some kind of bluish, purplish, goo, and when you eat it, it will allow you to live for over 100 years, but never looking a day over 30. The professor is then taken by the worm, and then Quinn, Remmy and wade know that they have to put an end to this terror. They go to the cove where it lives, and there they find a cave lined with uranium(obviously cause that's how it mutated in the first place)wade and Quinn free Arturo, while Remmy is outside in the middle of a gun fight with the town's sheriff, who will stop at nothing to make sure that the creature is not destroyed. Once Arturo is freed, they discover a whole nest of at least 1000 eggs. back outside, Remmy manages to get past the sheriff's bullets, and into the cave with the rest of them, Quinn begins chugging gasoline, on the eggs, and even puts down dynamite to blow the place up. That's when the sheriff comes in and tries to stop him, in the middle of the confrontation, the "worm" finally surfaces and kills the sheriff, giving Quinn time to get out of the cave before the dynamite goes off, and the whole place is blown to smithereens. And once again to make a long story short, the creature is destroyed, and the sliders slide on out of that world.
The idea for this episode, came from the 1990 Kevin Bacon creature feature, "Tremors." Obviously considering that the plots are almost identical, a giant worm underground, well, you get the picture. In this episode the town of Mt Dora was mentioned in conversation between Rembrandt and Wade. It may be a little known fact, but this is the birthplace of Sabrina Lloyd. Maybe this was offscreen banter brought in for random material
- If you notice at the end, just before the worm grabs the sheriff in it's mouth, the actor playing the sheriff in that one scene, isn't actually there, he was actually in front of a green screen, and was edited in there, and then when the worm does grab him, you'll notice, that it's actually not a real guy in the worms mouth, it's actually a computerized guy.
- Also, when the sliders free that girl from the cocoon, if you look carefully, you'll see she has a booger hanging out of her nose.

Robotech : Episode 060 (1985)
Share on
Synopsis by Emru Townsend
Time is running out for the 15th Squadron, the Robotech Masters, and the Earth. General Emerson is dead, and the 15th Squadron has joined up with Marie Crystal and another officer in an effort to get out of the Robotech Masters' ship. Much to Sergeant Dante's irritation, Dana Sterling decides to go off in search of Zor, while Musica and Bowie try to find a way to get her people off the ship before they're killed by attacking Earth forces or the Robotech Masters themselves. Zor, piloting his red bioroid, cuts a swath of destruction through the Robotech Masters' bioroids, intending to confront the Masters and fight them to the death. Dana finds Zor, and, over his objections, helps him in his quest -- both hoping they can stop the Masters before they can regain the protoculture, and before the spores from the Flower of Life spread and summon the Invid.

On the eve of a Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage throughout the United States, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has fully come around on the issue.
Early Wednesday, her campaign released a 2½ minute video titled Equal, depicting the weddings of several diverse same-sex couples and in which Clinton ends by saying, "Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights."
"Stand with LGBT families," reads the final slide.
Clinton has publicly changed her view on gay marriage since 1996 when her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, signed the federal Defense of Marriage Act — the law that the Supreme Court partially declared unconstitutional in the 2013 Edie Windsor case against the IRS.

Histories of Technology and the Global Economy
I am a historian of technology's role in international development, emphasizing United States foreign policy and economic and environmental change in South Asia in the twentieth century. My interests and expertise lie in food security, agribusiness, and rural initiatives led by NGOs and philanthropic organizations. As a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, I am working on my first book manuscript, The Hungry Harvest: Science, Development, and the Economic Origins of the Global Green Revolution.
My current project examines the reallocation of South Asia's agricultural resources following Partition in 1947 and the nutritional health initiatives launched by the governments of India and Pakistan after independence. To that end, I track the rising influence and strategic planning of American philanthropies, such as the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, and international organizations, like the World Bank, the FAO, and the WHO, in reshaping South Asia's economy and fashioning new, lasting notions of global development and economic growth.
Contrasting with existing scholarship on the changes that swept the world food economy in the mid-twentieth century, my work uncovers the linkages between late colonial and post-independence understandings of famine, population growth, and development in South Asia. I propose a wider framing of the Green Revolution of the 1960s, examining the resonance of eugenic theories within population control efforts and tensions between the nutritional and agricultural sciences through decolonization.
My work also explores how South Asian and American economists, physicians, and agricultural scientists worked in a global context to combat malnutrition during the nationalist era and in the decade following independence, well before the height of the unprecedented grain production increases of the Green Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. Using archival sources in South Asia, Europe, and the United States, I investigate economic, medical, and scientific inquiries that addressed hunger in the context of economic inequality and the struggle against British colonialism during the 1930s and 1940s.
"Enter the NGO: Development as Destiny in India's New Borderlands," Economic and Political Weekly, Vol. LIII, No. 4 (2018): 50-57.
Built from the ground up by three thousand Sikh and Hindu refugees in the aftermath of the Partition of India in 1947, the town of Nilokheri in East Punjab emerged as an unlikely centre of agricultural education and scientific exchange. With support from the Ford Foundation, Indian and American scientists and development planners worked through the 1950s to transform the refugee township into a model of agricultural innovation and community development. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru even cast Nilokheri as the first step on the 'road to new India' that would bring the nation to self-sufficiency in food production. Over the course of a decade, experimental farms, workshops, and agricultural training centres rose around the village. The bustling town rapidly became an internationally recognised centre for deploying new farming technologies, training farmers, and sharing scientific knowledge. Yet for all its initial promise, allegations of bureaucratic mismanagement dogged the project, floodwaters disrupted the site in 1957, and Ford's interest shifted by the early 1960s. The Nilokheri experiment, however, set the stage for the scientific and social interventions of India's Green Revolution, contributing to an international development paradigm that persists today.
"Between Hunger and Growth: Pursuing Rural Development in Partition's Aftermath, 1947-1957," Contemporary South Asia, Vol. 25, No. 1 (2017): 56-69.
Through the 1950s in South Asia, development experts associated with American philanthropic organizations and new international agencies took an active role in transforming the divided Punjab. Following partition in 1947, World Bank worked to adjudicate the Indus River Basin dispute between India and Pakistan over the division of the region's water resources. In these discussions, the issues of soil of fertility and the food production capacity of lands on both sides of the new border took center stage. At the same time, the U.S.-based Rockefeller and Ford Foundations coordinated with the new Indian state to launch projects in the agricultural sciences, population control, and community development for Partition's refugees. This article shows that a dual agenda of restricting the fertility of rural populations and improving the fertility of agricultural lands united these first international development initiatives in Partition's wake. This central concern for fertility reflected in these post-Partition projects backed by philanthropic organizations and international agencies would help to define an emerging postwar development discourse and lay the groundwork for the Green Revolution of the late 1960s and 1970s.

This blog examines the possible impact of a no-deal Brexit on foreign investors into the UK
The past month in the United Kingdom has been tumultuous, to say the least. In the space of 30 days, the UK has seen the ascendancy of a new Prime Minister, the hottest July day on record (a sweltering 38C) and the value of the pound hit its lowest levels against the euro since the 2008 global financial crisis. Only one of these events is unrelated to Brexit.
The pound sterling?
The pound's value is largely being dictated by Brexit, the value fluctuating with every positive or negative headline. When Boris Johnson arrived at No. 10 Downing Street on 24 July 2019 to assume office as the new UK Prime Minister, it was riding upon a wave of rhetoric that the UK would leave the European Union, "come what may", "do or die" and with or without a deal, on Thursday 31 October 2019. This was notwithstanding the fact that Parliament went on summer recess the very next day and will not return – unless recalled early – until 3 September, less than 2 months (in fact, just 45 working days), before the Brexit deadline. The European Parliament also took its summer recess on the same day, one last thing we have in common. Within days, the pound started to weaken.
However, at the time of writing, Mr Johnson had just completed his first overseas visit to another world leader, Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, where things perhaps began to look up and with it, the pound rose approximately 1% against the US dollar and the euro. Some believe that Ms Merkel shone a ray of hope on the UK's fortunes at a press conference following the meeting, in telling Mr Johnson and the world that the UK and EU might yet find a solution to the thorniest and most polarising of issues in the Brexit debate – the Irish backstop (the last resort in the withdrawal agreement negotiated by Theresa May with the EU, designed to maintain a seamless border on the island of Ireland by aligning Northern Ireland to some rules of the EU single market to avoid the need for border checks) – and in just 30 days. Yet this is quite a challenge and, if not met and the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 31 October 2019, the backstop – unacceptable to Mr Johnson and Brexiteers alike – will not apply. The implications for the island of Ireland and the Good Friday Agreement are beyond the scope of this article. But what does all of this mean for prospective foreign investors?
Current state of foreign investments into the UK
According to the UK's Digital Secretary, the UK technology sector has seen record-breaking levels of investment in the year to date – US$6.7bn between January and July 2019, the majority of which has come from America and Asia. Extremely positive, yet the broader picture is somewhat different. According to the UK's Department for International Trade (DfIT), overall the UK has seen a decrease in the number of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) projects (i.e. investments from foreign investors into UK enterprises) every year since 2016. Of the three different types of FDI projects which DfIT measures, the largest decrease (-22% compared to 2017-2018) was in respect of expansion investment projects (where an existing investor expands by making additional investment), whilst new investments (where a foreign investor starts a new business) decreased by 12% in 2018-2019, compared to 2017-2018.
Notwithstanding this, investments are still being made. A weaker pound can draw foreign investors keen to get more 'bang for their buck'. Indeed, in the months after the 2016 Brexit referendum result, the (at the time) largest acquisition of a European technology company occurred, when Japanese conglomerate SoftBank purchased the UK smartphone chip design company, Arm Holdings, for £24.3bn (US$31.4bn). However, for most foreign investors, a weaker pound is typically not necessarily good news, as it will impact their returns and the overall value of their investments.
UK General Election
On top of and linked to the Brexit issues, is the speculation about the next UK General Election. Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is currently advocating for a vote of no confidence in the current government and for his appointment as Prime Minister of a caretaker government in the interim. My colleagues have written separately about the implications of a Labour government, specifically in terms of potential nationalisation and the impact on investors in companies which operate in the industries identified by Labour as likely to come back into public ownership under them (e.g. private rail companies, water companies etc.), that report can be read here. Whether Corbyn manages to propose a successful vote of no confidence in the current government is unclear, but the general belief is that the UK is heading for an early general election, before the close of the year. The identity of the Prime Minister and the composition of the government thereafter could change and will no doubt have an impact on the value of the pound and the UK economy more broadly.
Impact of Brexit on the economy
Prospective foreign investors may wish to understand the likely impact of a no-deal Brexit on the UK economy. The general consensus amongst economists is that it will not be good; some predict it will push the UK into a recession, others deny this would quite be the impact. Last month, the Bank of England stated that in a worst-case 'disorderly' Brexit scenario, "significant market volatility and asset price changes are to be expected". The Bank of England's view is that this could also lead to a reduction in "foreign investor appetite", particularly in respect of commercial real estate and leveraged lending markets, two areas where the UK typically sees the most foreign investment.
However, it is not all bad news. Despite the current volatility, the UK still has a lot to recommend itself to foreign investors – competitive corporate tax rates; a fair court system and judges; low levels of corruption; an efficient labour market; and a burgeoning and exciting tech industry, to name but a few – though how much foreign investors are willing to gamble on a post-EU UK, remains to be seen.
Concluding remarks
It is clear that the next two months are crucial. Uncertainty is not attractive and does nothing for business or investor confidence. If Mr Johnson is to be believed, come 1 November 2019 the UK will be out of the EU. What happens next is still anyone's guess, but of that there will at least and at last, be some certainty.

In this home workout you are going to need only a Blance ball. This routine has a main goal of getting blood into the different muscle groups that it works. It is a great routine if you simply don't feel like lifting weights, or if you want to use a bodyweight exercsie workout ! It is great to start out as a beginner with workouts like these, however if you don't have the blance and the core for the balance ball yet, simply drop it out of the routine ! Also drop down the reps if it is to much (or add more if it is to little).
Also make sure to check out my first version of working out at home:
Ball catch (ab exercise) It is like a v-up only that you deliver the ball from your arms to your legs and vise versa
Push ups with legs on the balance ball
Sit ups on the balance ball
Dips with your arms (example) on a table, and your legs on the balance ball
Jumping lunges
Jump squats
Spider man push ups
Mountian climbers
Standing toe raise (calf raise)
10 reps e / exercise
Round Ranges
3 rounds: Beginner
5 rounds: Intermediate
8 rounds: Advanced
10+ rounds: Athlete / bodybuilder
I have many home workouts, NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
Dips (you can do these on chairs, tables etc)
Push ups close grip
Push ups wide grip
Push ups normal grip
Bear crawl
Jumping lunges
Jumping squats
Standing toe raises
Double crunch
Toe touches
Biecycle (ab exercise, not an actual bike)
Flutter kicks
Zig zag flutter kicks
10 reps e / exercise
Round Ranges
3 rounds: Beginner
5 rounds: Intermediate
8 rounds: Advanced
10+ rounds: Athlete / bodybuilder
A great routine for increasing muscle endurance, build some and tone up !

Masta Killa has been the quietest member of the loud and legendary Wu-Tang Clan. Though part of the original clay, he's the last one to drop a solo joint, though he's participated in everyone else's. So it's fitting that his No Said Date be the only solo Wu recording to feature all nine originals since the millennium turned.
There's reason he was the last: The passive-aggressive Masta Killa was always outshined by his more massive-aggressive Wu brethren. Hence, as you approach No Said Date you don't expect much beyond his infamous grim, monotone, elementary delivery. All you can hope for is that RZA retrieved some of those classic beats he lost in the Wu mansion flood of '96 for this release.
On first listen, though, you find that it's all there -- the ol' dusty Shaolin flick skits; the unconventional, musky armpitted beats; cryptic lyrics buried in Gods-and-Earths acronyms and metaphysical metaphors. It's classic Wu; all that and a bag of meth. Second listen: It's no fluke. This album shoulda come out somewhere between Ghost's Ironman and RZA's first Bobby Digital. It doesn't even fit in the current scatterbrained Wu culture, which seems stuck in an identity crisis.
Add on that Masta Killa does on this CD what other Wu members weren't able to do on their own CDs, like finally pull RAGU off -- Rae And Ghost United. Rae actually does pair with Ghost on his underrated Lex Diamond Story CD, and convincingly so on the cuts "Missing Watch" and "Clientele Kids." But while Rae was absent on Ghost's Pretty Toney CD, Masta Killa resurrects the union brilliantly on "D.T.D. (Do That Dance)," which employs a soul-vocal sample that paperclips a suspenseful horn ascension to a classic boom-bap drum track.
That ain't the freshest part of the CD, though. Those honors belong to the "Future" mini-track that features kids, presumably the children of Wu members, rhyming over a vintage RZA beat. It knocks so hard, you can't even call it cute. One of the kids spits, "I'm a snake cat from way back / that'll snap on ya unit / because y'all wack / and I need a snack" in a voice that can't be older than 8 years old.
No Said Date also succeeds in resurrecting ancient voices that sound off with no hints of rust or ash. In "Secret Rivals," Killah Priest, apparently on sabbatical for years, inscribes his usual heavy mental lyrics, spitting "I have a stance that's strong / when I perform / I transform / into a sandstorm / leaving one third of the land torn." On the same cut, Method Man -- not Johnny Blaze -- pipes in, "intellectual architect / bomb threat / to ya vegetable / Mr. Meth / you can get the left / and right testicles."
Masta Killa is no slouch on the effort either, with a flow that makes an argument that lyrics should dictate the beat in rap as opposed to the more modern dictum that it oughta be the other way around. His opening cut, "Grab the Mic," finds him rhymin' lazily over an even lazier-paced track that is no less compelling than any of his more hyper tracks, saying he's "also unique / it's so much heat / on the turntable wax / when I speak on a beat."
It's apparent that the reason this recording sounds so fresh is that there's no precedent for him as an artist. With the exception of Ghost and Ol' Dirty Bastard, all other Wu sophomore and junior solos were immediately branded slumps, but only because each of their debuts exhibited such groundbreaking material. Wu member U-God actually broke the momentum for this team's streak of home runs in first at-bats. Luckily, though, Masta Killa is right behind him to pick up the slack.

When You Fall In Love Again, Don't Ever Forget These Big Small Things
Where did your heart go? People cross all sorts of boundaries with the one they love because love knows no bounds. Sometimes, we assume we can do everything for them because we love them and that's where we are wrong. We love the way we want to love, not the way they want to be loved. People want their space, their comfort. Privacy too. There will be clashes as you both inevitably want different things from each other.
Sometimes you'll be wrong, sometimes she'll be right, but if you put great efforts, certain things happen against all odds. Love and hurt travel together, we should know that.Share this quote
We should not be expecting sunshine without facing the storms. Loving her wasn't your choice in the first place, rather, she made you fall in love with her, by her little gestures, beautiful words, and a thousand more things. She took a step back when you were taking a step forward. Not only it made you look stupid, but it made you feel vulnerable and afraid because anything in excess is a poison, including love: especially love.
This is all I'd say about loving someone one-sided. The point is, we don't choose who we fall in love with. Promising yourself that you shouldn't love her because it hurts your heart is as effective as promising yourself that you shouldn't eat chocolates because it hurts your teeth. By remembering the hurtful things she said, and whispering to yourself that they are just words, she didn't mean any of that, there is just one thing I'd like to know, are you kidding me or are you kidding yourself?
You know you can't keep that promise because you've tasted it once and now nothing feels the same. You'll eat chocolates eventually, and you'll love too, eventually.Share this quote
Violation of privacy shouldn't be excused because you're in a relationship. Don't cross the lines by violating the ground rules, you have got to respect their privacy even if you love them, and even if they love you back. Being in love doesn't give you the right to do everything which you wouldn't do otherwise. If loving them means dictating how they should live their life, then you are asking them to be your slave not lover. Love doesn't give you the right to tell them how they should live their life. After love, life isn't the same anymore. But who can say if that's a good or a bad thing?

The myth most people believe is you've got to have talent and be smart to be a successful, well that's not true. The truth is - it helps to be dumb!
President Calvin Coolidge said, "Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent."
The 30th President of the United States was saying talent is not rare, he was saying talent is the most common trait among failures.
He was also famous for saying: "nothing in the world can take the place of persistence". Because persistence pays off, nothing difficult gets accomplished without persistence.
And you've got to be dumb to get good at something when everyone else is whole wide world is telling you to stop doing it. Heck, sometimes even your own 'gut feeling' is telling you to stop - and you've got to be dumb enough to persist anyway. That takes tenacity and good old fashioned stubborn stupidity to push forward when everyone else say to quit.
Imagine, if all the inventors would've listened to what we're always told, they would've quit before they ever started.
Luckily, they didn't. Why? Because you've got to have a plain dumb stubbornness to quit in place before you start if you want to succeed.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to not listen to reason. And I'm certainly not saying to pour your life savings into a hair-brained scheme. What I am saying is, you've got to march to the beat of your own drummer if you want to succeed in business.
You've got to be dumb, or play dumb, to the negativity and the sheer odds stacked against you if you plan on succeeding. Think of all the odds you've beaten to get to this very moment right now - you're amazing!
So forget listening to what we're always told to do (which is stop, get back in line and follow the leader), it impedes your ability to explore what's possible.
By now, you've most likely figured out by "dumb" I mean determined.
Let's find out if you're dumb enough to be successful.
- When your friends end their nine to five workday and head out to the bar, are you excited to get working on your side-hustle?
- Are you the type that thinks "there's only 40 hours in a work-week and 48 hours in a weekend... for me to build my empire."
- Do you believe in yourself, your ideas and see the value others may miss?
- You're willing to work harder than any of your friends now so you can enjoy the entrepreneur lifestyle later.
- You know you can start with zero dollars and an idea - and then make a million dollars (or at least you hope you can because you've seen others do it before).
- You take on so many tasks you could be a juggler, but you remain focused on your one thing.
- Your friends and family feel you should quit your "silly pipe-dream" and stick to your day job.
If any or all the above statements sound like you, then you're going to enjoy the following three tips.
Three dumb ways to be successful in business
These tips will help you focus more on your business and ignore all the naysayers.
1. Follow a proven formula
Smart people think they need to reinvent the wheel. Guess what? You don't (and you shouldn't).
You only need to offer something you know people already want. A proven seller. Think how can I make it easier, better, faster, etc.
2. Go deep, not wide
Instead of reading 100 great business books one time each, read 10 great business books 10 times each. Think of how "deep" you'll know the subject matter versus much subject matter you'll know.
3. Don't overthink it
Dumb people know everyone makes mistakes and go for it! They go for it now - put out your best work, and realise you'll be making it even better later.
Smart people tend to overthink everything and are often paralysed by prognosis.
So let's get you started, today.
Fair enough?

California SB 54: Sanctuary City on Steroids
Detrimental Impact to the City of Thousand Oaks
Sacramento, California legislator De Leon has introduced Senate Bill 54 which imposes the State's cities to become sanctuary havens for illegal immigrants. Its impact reaches far beyond the obvious fiscal drain on local resources for illegal immigrants.
Federal funds to the state and cities have the stipulation that if the state violates federal law, the U.S. Government may cutoff these funds. This applies to any federal monies provided to the City of Thousand Oaks, higher education (Community, California State Colleges and University of California) social programs (school breakfast and lunch) plus many other services.
Our neighboring city, Los Angeles, became a Sanctuary City, in 1979 when the city council compelled former LAPD chief Darryl Gates to enact Special Order 40 which prohibits officers from "initiating police action where the objective is to discover the alien status of a person."
Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration reported that "Sanctuary City – generally forbids local police officers from inquiring into a suspect's immigration status or reporting it to federal authorities. Such laws place a higher priority on protecting illegal aliens from deportation than on protecting legal immigrants and citizens from assault, rape, arson, and other crimes."
De Leon's "SB 54 purpose is to limit state and local law enforcement agencies involvement in immigration enforcement and to ensure that eligible individuals are able to seek services from and engage with state agencies without regard to their immigration status."
"This bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies and school police and security departments from
Inquiring into or collecting information about an individual's immigration status.
- Detaining an individual on the basis of a hold request.
- Responding to notification or transfer requests.
- Providing, or responding to requests for, nonpublicly available personal information about an individual, including, but not limited to, information about the person's release date, home address, or work address for immigration enforcement purposes.
- Making arrests based on civil immigration warrants.
- Giving federal immigration authorities access to interview individuals in agency or department custody for immigration enforcement purposes.
- Assisting federal immigration in conducting a search of a vehicle without a warrant.
- Performing the functions of an immigration officer, whether formal or informal."
The City of Thousand Oaks and other California cities are at serious risk of having federal funds cut off due to the actions of Sacramento legislators. The state and city cannot and must not selectively ignore laws that do not fit with their desired world view. If you do not like the law, go to Washington to change it. What message does this send to our children, our future leaders? Ignore the laws that you do not like and obey those you do like,President Trump has proven that when he draws a line in the sand, he has made good on his promise of action. SB 54, if passed, goes into affect immediately and violates federal law leaving the city at risk of losing federal funds. What is needed is immediate action by the League to Cities to file a lawsuit to stop Sacramento from imposing its will upon Thousand Oaks.
To monitor the bill's progress in Sacramento, go to https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov and enter SB54.

Hello all! We've had a busy summer so far here at CSE. We've done a bunch of projects and have a lot more work to do before the summer is done. A lot of the work we've been doing has been focused on biking or beekeeping. Here are some of the projects we've been working on and general happenings related to biking.
1. Biking everywhere! My apartment mates and I are lucky to all have bikes on campus and they've been so helpful for getting around campus and Carlisle. We bike to work every morning, Giant for groceries, and even to Project Share on Fridays to pick up our Dickinson College Farm CSA box (with the help of our bike carrier pictured here).
2. Updating our Campus Sustainability Map with where all the bike racks and bike pumps are on campus. We've been moving these around so they are as useful as possible. Check it out!
3. Summer Handlebar open hours! The Handlebar, Dickinson's bike co-op, is open every Wednesday this summer from 4-6 PM (for July 4th week it will be open on Thursday, July 5th). If you're also on campus stop by!
4. Renewing our Bicycle Friendly University Certification. In 2014 we received a silver Bicycle Friendly University designation award. Being a Bicycle Friendly University means that we have worked to make our campus more bike accessible and have had access to free tools and resources to help with this. Additionally, we have a Bicycle Advisory Council that is charged with making Dickinson and the Carlisle community more bike-friendly.
5. Check out Dickinson's new partnership with Cole's Bicycles called Shop & Ride. Cole's is a family-owned bicycle shop that has been in Carlisle since 1940. This new program lets you order a bike, helmet, lock, and other accessories online before August 1st and have it ready to be picked up from Cole's by the time you get to campus in the fall.
Hope everyone is having a great summer and staying cool!

Pioneer History
BYU Studies has hundreds of articles on the people and places of the pioneer trek to Utah. Here are some of our favorites, in honor of Pioneer Day, July 24.
These stories tell of tremendous hardship but also of great faith and perseverance by these valiant and brave pioneers, from those who left Nauvoo in the freezing winter and those who crossed the ocean and the plains, from those who suffered hunger at Winter Quarters to those who came mostly on the railroad.
For more topics, search the BYU Studies website for names and places. And be sure to check out the Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel Database, where names and pioneer companies can be found, with excerpts from diaries and newspapers.
