'Finish the FAFSA' makes it easier for high schools to track FAFSA completions

This is the fifth piece in a series on the FAFSA. Follow along with the rest of the series here.

Any student who is interested in college should fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application opens the door for students to get help paying for college from federal and state governments as well as colleges and universities. Financial aid can range from subsidized loans to grants to scholarships and can be crucial in enabling students to pursue a postsecondary education.

To meet North Carolina's myFutureNC attainment goal of 2 million working-age adults with a postsecondary degree or credential by 2030, the state will need to increase the number of students going to college. One way to do that is to increase the FAFSA completion rate among high school seniors. In 2019, 64% of high school seniors completed the FAFSA compared to 80% in neighboring Tennessee. As of May 8, just 50% of North Carolina's seniors had completed the FAFSA this year.

One tool North Carolina school districts have at their disposal is a data sharing agreement between districts and the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA).

Finish the FAFSA data sharing agreement

The agreement, called Finish the FAFSA, allows NCSEAA to match high school student enrollment data from the Department of Public Instruction with FAFSA completion data to show districts which of their seniors have completed a FAFSA and which have not. No personal information is shared other than student names and FAFSA completion status.

To enable this data sharing, superintendents must sign an agreement and designate someone in the district to have access to the data, often a high school counselor and/or college advisor. Once the agreement is executed, that person can log onto a portal and see updated FAFSA completion information for every senior in their school or district.

"I have really enjoyed the Finish the FAFSA tool because when you ask students if they finished the FAFSA, sometimes they'll say yes, because they think they actually have, especially if they're first-generation college students whose parents may not know what it is," said Pam Yelle, a counselor at Manteo High School.

In addition to letting districts know which students have submitted their FAFSA, the tool also lets them know whose FAFSAs are complete. "I can see who has submitted and who has completed, because those are two different things," Yelle said.

If students submit their FAFSA without a signature, for example, it will not be marked complete until they have corrected the mistake. If they don't correct the mistake, students will not be eligible for financial aid.

"I can go to the Finish the FAFSA report, find a student, look specifically at what we need to do to help them finish it, and then go over the paperwork and see if there are things that need their signature or specific documents they have to fill out, and help them get through that," said Toni Blount, college advising and scholarships coordinator at Craven County Schools.

Finish the FAFSA also flags those students who have been selected for verification, meaning they are asked to provide additional documentation to colleges. Bob Obrohta, executive director of the Tennessee College Access & Success Network, said verification is the biggest barrier to FAFSA completion.

During Yelle's first year at Manteo High School, the counselors did not talk to students about verification, she said. "Then, in the summer, we noticed there were kids in a panic because they hadn't gotten housing because they had never responded to the verification request," Yelle explained. Now, she uses the Finish the FAFSA report to see if students have been selected for verification and help them figure out what additional documentation is required.

According to Blount, this is often the step that keeps students from completing their FAFSA and ultimately enrolling in college.

"That step can often be the step that stops the student in their college process," Blount said. "They give up. They throw their hands up. They say, 'I don't understand. I've done everything. I've given them everything, and it's still not enough.' And then they get their tuition bill, and they're paying full price because they didn't follow the steps that the college needed. And then they don't attend."

Without the Finish the FAFSA agreement, people like Blount and Yelle can look at federal data to see how many students at each high school have submitted and completed a FAFSA, but they have no way of knowing who those students are and thus no way of proactively reaching out to help them.

Finish the FAFSA is only as successful as the people behind it

As of this writing, only three of North Carolina's 115 school districts have not signed the Finish the FAFSA agreement: Haywood County Schools, Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools, and Whiteville City Schools.

When asked why they had not signed the agreement, Bill Nolte, Haywood County Schools Public Information Officer responded, "We are very protective of our students' information."

Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools and Whiteville City Schools did not respond to our request for comment.

However, just signing the agreement is not enough, Blount stressed. Districts need to have someone who is responsible for checking the report periodically and acting on the data. That can be hard, Blount said, when there are so many other things on high school guidance counselors' plates.

"Postsecondary college awareness is one part of a high school counselor's job. There are many other hats that they wear with social emotional health, special need students, peer mediation, bullying -- all sorts of roles in the high school guidance counseling or high school counseling office," Blount said. "And so to to thoroughly use this report, I think would require intentional dedication and devotion from that staff, whether that be one person leading that effort or a district person helping drive that engagement."

"I think a lot of principals and superintendents are more focused on things that they're measured on, which tend to be things like graduation rates, not FAFSA completion rates," said Jenny Cahoon, a counselor at Millbrook High School in Wake County. That can be a roadblock for getting superintendents to sign the Finish the FAFSA agreement, she added.

Looking ahead

Marcia Weston is the associate director for outreach at the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA). In this role, she supports districts to increase their FAFSA completion rates, including encouraging them to sign the Finish the FAFSA agreement. Weston works directly with counselors and advisors like Yelle, Blount, and Cahoon. She sees their greatest impact as helping first-generation college students navigate this complex process.

"I think the greatest impact we've made is to focus on the needs of those populations that don't have any experience with postsecondary education, and I think that we have made strides in helping first-generation families access financial aid, understand it, and navigate the process," she said.

Weston is hopeful that North Carolina can continue to increase the FAFSA completion rate, but she believes they've got to do a better job of using data and increase statewide collaboration towards a shared goal.

"There are many different entities around the state doing this work. I think we have to do a better job at setting common goals and missions," Weston said.

She also believes the state needs to do a better job of talking to parents and understanding the fears, challenges, and myths around postsecondary education.

Weston shared that one of her greatest life lessons came while she was doing this work in her home state of Maine. During a financial aid presentation in rural Maine, she realized her message was not resonating with the parents.

"I shut down my machine," Weston said. "And I said, 'OK, tell me what's going on.' And they said, 'You have to understand that if our children leave to go to college, our community dies.' And I thought, wow, I might as well have been selling them a cemetery plot."

Talking to students and families and building trusting relationships is key to increasing attainment, Weston stressed, and those conversations should be starting much earlier than students' senior year.

Home News National Republican Sen. Burr takes GOP fire over Trump Jr subpoena
Republican Sen. Burr takes GOP fire over Trump Jr subpoena
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans lashed out Thursday at fellow GOP Sen. Richard Burr for his committee's subpoena of President Donald Trump's son, a move that suggested the Russia investigation is not "case closed" as some in the party insist. Trump said he was "very surprised" at the move.
The revolt by some against the Senate intelligence committee chairman comes after The Associated Press and other news outlets reported the panel is calling in Donald Trump Jr. to answer questions about his 2017 testimony to the panel as part of its probe into Russian election interference. But the issue of re-calling Trump's son laid bare conflict inside the president's party over whether probes involving Russian election meddling are still merited.
It's the first known subpoena of a member of Trump's immediate family and a new sign that the Senate panel is continuing with its own two-year-long investigation, even after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's call from the Senate floor on Tuesday to move on.
A source familiar with the committee's deliberations said the subpoena went out "weeks ago" and all committee members were aware of it. The person, who requested anonymity to discuss the internal negotiations, said members had been regularly briefed on communications with Trump Jr.
Still, the subpoena appeared to catch the president and many of his allies by surprise. Trump said as much, adding that "my son is a very good person." Trump Jr., the president said, had already testified for a "massive" amount of time.
Chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Thursday he was not given a heads-up. But Trump's advisers had not yet decided if he would publicly attack Burr, according to two Republicans close to the White House not authorized to speak publicly about private discussions.
The subpoena highlights a delicate bind facing Burr, a third-term senator who is not expected to run for re-election when his term is up in 2022. He has been adamant that the panel's Russia probe be bipartisan and fair. But he was named in Mueller's report as having possibly shared information with the White House after a confidential FBI briefing in 2017. Burr has said through a spokeswoman that he doesn't remember the conversation.
The blowback against him inside the Senate was especially fierce from Republicans up for re-election in 2020.
"This case is closed. The Mueller Report cleared @DonaldJTrumpJr and he's already spent 27 hours testifying before Congress," tweeted Burr's fellow North Carolina Republican senator, Thom Tillis. "It's time to move on & start focusing on issues that matter to Americans."
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he understands the younger Trump's "frustration."
"I think we have an important job to do to try to keep the intelligence committee out of politics," he added. Cornyn later said he has confidence in Burr.
Criticism also came from the top Republican in the House.
"Endless investigations_by either party_won't change the fact that there was NO collusion. It's time to move on. It's time to focus on ISSUES, not investigations," tweeted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
But Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican member of the panel, said he thinks the criticism of Burr is "a fundamental misunderstanding of what the Senate intelligence committee is about," which is congressional oversight and not prosecution.
The suggestion that Burr is failing to properly lead the committee is the first real sign of any dissention among its members, who have worked together quietly since the panel's Russia investigation began in early 2017. Burr and the top Democrat on the committee, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, have often won praise from the panel's members, and also from McConnell, throughout.
As the subpoena drew criticism from GOP ranks, Republicans scrambled Thursday to develop a more cohesive response.
McConnell said in his Tuesday speech that it was "case closed" on the Mueller probe, but his office noted that he didn't go so far as to say the intelligence panel's work was done. McConnell's speech noted the importance of the committee's "upcoming report."
Mueller did not find evidence that Trump conspired with the Russians to meddle in the 2016 campaign, but did not make a recommendation on whether he obstructed justice.
Burr's committee had renewed interest in talking to Trump Jr. after Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified earlier this year. Cohen told a House committee in February that he had briefed Trump Jr. approximately 10 times about a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow before the presidential election. Trump Jr. told the Senate Judiciary Committee in a separate interview in 2017 he was only "peripherally aware" of the proposal.

Q: Angular $compile has a delay I have a case where I use $compile to add some directive to the html from code.
My problem is that you can actually see the delay of building the html.
My container is a div and I can see how it is small in the beginning and only after a short delay the div is filled with the compiled html.
This is how I do it:
var content = "some template";
$(container).html(content);
$compile($('#someElementInTheContainer', container))(scope);

When I don't use directives but plain text and jquery I don't see the delay.
Couldn't find a way to solve it, any suggestions?

The Upper Indus Basin Network (UIB-N) is a voluntary and informal knowledge and research network of national and international researchers working in the Indus basin. It aims to foster coordination and collaboration among organizations working in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) for improved understanding of present and future water availability, demand, and hazards and to develop gender-sensitive solutions for all the stakeholders.
The Upper Indus Basin (UIB), shared by Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan, has been facing the impacts of climate change on water resources and its dependent sectors. The basin is crucial and important for all riparian countries in the region as they have many common challenges and opportunities for managing water resources and water induced risks.
The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) is a region of rich cultural, aesthetic, biological, and geo-hydrological value. Some of the tallest peaks in the world are found here. Researchers and scientists have measured around 60,000 km2 of glaciers and 760,000 km2 of snow cover in the HKH, making it a massive store of freshwater.
The Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), through its Sustainable Development Investment Portfolio (SDIP), aims to address water, food, and energy security in South Asia through better regional cooperation, policy reform, technology transfer, and capacity building targeting the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and girls.
It focuses on improving water management for agriculture and livelihoods and water-induced hazard management for vulnerable local communities in Gojal. ICIMOD and partners are showcasing the progress made so far through on-site visits and interactions with collaborating partners and local communities. The visit also includes policy roundtables where participants will explore opportunities to translate learning into policies.
The Indus River basin – shared by Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan – is critical for over 268 million people who call it home. But rapid changes, such as population growth, urbanization, and climate change are putting strain on the basin's limited natural resources.
The impact of climate change on water and other associated resources has gender dimensions. Women of the most vulnerable areas are more vulnerable due to climatic stressors in addition to socioeconomic differences they face. The Upper Indus is not far from the impact of changing climate and its gender impact.
he Indus Basin is a key resource shared by Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan. Rising in the Tibetan Plateau in China and fed by tributaries from the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Himalayan ranges, some 300 million people live within the basin boundaries and rely on its resource base.
The transboundary Indus River Basin, shared by Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan, is ranked among the world's most significant basins in terms of human dependency on its water resources and agricultural livelihoods. Home to nearly 215 million people, the basin has six main rivers originating from glaciers in the Western Himalaya, the Karakoram, and the Hindu Kush, which are sources of irrigation for over 16 million hectares of agricultural land.
Approximately 45 national and international experts on the Upper Indus Basin and media persons will observe glacier monitoring stations, hydrological stations, and weather stations installed by the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Water and Power Development Authority, and other organizations.

Local heart surgeon first in UAE to use rare technique
Dr Anil Bansal with the patient, Shrikumar Nedungadi, after completing rotablation angioplasty at Zulekha Hospital Dubai. (Supplied)
Zulekha Hospital surgeon has become the first in the UAE to perform a coronary surgery using a unique and rare technique involving a surgical drill.
Completed only six times across the globe, the rotablation angioplasty procedure was performed on Shrikumar Nedungadi, a UAE resident who had been experiencing shortness of breath and upon examination was diagnosed with advanced coronary heart disease that put him at risk of a heart attack.
With more than 30 years of experience in the field of coronary interventions, Dr Anil Bansal, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Zulekha Hospital Dubai said: "The patient had a very tight and calcified blockage in two of the three main arteries and we couldn't perform a standard angioplasty as our tools would fail."
While a regular procedure of removing arteries blockage and widening them involves the use of balloons and stents, Dr Bansal decided to use a rotablator, a surgical drill, to break up the plaque inside Nedungadi's arteries.
Dr Bansal added: "Initially, we put a stent into the patient's artery, but we couldn't expand it. The blockage was so hard that any balloon would break, so we decided to use a rotablator to cut through the stent and then break the hardened, calcified area."
Discharged from the hospital only one day after the surgery, the patient said: "I am very lucky to have undergone a procedure that is considered extremely complex and rare across the global healthcare system.
"I'd like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Dr Bansal and his entire team for helping me go through this difficult phase with their expert advice, upbeat attitude and warm treatment during my stay at the hospital."
Serving as a tool in the high-tech treatment options available for those diagnosed with coronary heart disease, rotablation provides patients with a feeling of relief and increased levels of energy when their newly open arteries pump enough blood to their heart and nourish their body.
Nedungadi added: "I knew the procedure was particularly difficult, but Dr Bansal explained the process well to me and my wife and I knew I was in the safest of hands.
"Yet, it still surprised me how well I felt the following day and only within a week I went back to leading a normal, healthy life. I think more people should know about this kind of treatment and I am indebted to Dr Bansal for giving me a second life."
Administration Director, Zia ur Rahman Shah says, "We are glad to have been able to resolve the worst of a cardiovascular complication in this case and make a difference to the patient's life and his family. The need of expertise and equipment, alongside a capable team at the golden hour is important and we are confident our facilities are well equipped to manage such scenarios successfully."
Cardiovascular disease often develops as a result of an unhealthy lifestyle combined with obesity and diabetes.

Benefits and Possibilities
Board game libraries are an incredibly valuable resource for individuals and families alike. Not only are they great for parties, gatherings and holiday events, but also for any night of the week. By using a board game library, individuals can add more fun and entertainment to their nights without necessarily having to buy board games of their own.
Board game libraries provide users with a wide range of options in terms of game type and style. From classic family board games like Monopoly or Sorry! to party-oriented games such as Taboo or Cards Against Humanity, there are plenty of options for everyone to choose from. Additionally, more advanced strategy games such as Settlers of Catan allow players to learn new skills while still having fun with friends. No matter the age group or skill level, there is sure to be something at a board game library that everyone will enjoy playing.
Another great benefit of board game libraries is that they help reduce clutter around the house while providing endless entertainment. Rather than having stacks of various board games lying around in different rooms of the home, a board game library allows users to simply borrow whatever they need when they need it without ever getting in the way. Furthermore, if a person chooses not to spend money on purchasing multiple separate copies of the same game for large groups, then using a board game library becomes an even better option than buying brand new editions all the time.
Finally, another benefit that can be gained by utilizing a board game library is its ability to foster an environment that encourages collaboration and teamwork building between friends and family members. With so many different social elements layered into each different type of board game—from working together towards shared objectives or competing face-to-face against one another—players can find themselves developing deeper connections with each other while still having a good time playing exciting new games with people they care about most.
The popularity of board game libraries is growing quickly. A board game library offers an easy and affordable way to get access to a wide variety of games without having to buy them all. While gamers can easily use online stores to purchase individual games, they are limited in the number of titles they can look through with any one visit. A board game library solves this problem by providing an ever-expanding collection of titles and genres, giving gamers the opportunity to find new titles to explore and try out.
The mechanics behind a board game library also provide several benefits that are hard to achieve from traditional retail gaming stores or online retailers. Board game libraries are staffed with knowledgeable employees who understand the different mechanics behind each game and can suggest titles based on different types of gamers playing style or preferences. Furthermore, a board game library allows gamers to "test run" games before buying them. If a person tries a game at the library and doesn't enjoy it, they know not to waste their money on that title; however, if they do like it, they now have knowledge of what type of engine or components work well for their playstyle and can make an informed decision later when buying the title outright.
Aside from offering an ever-growing selection of new and classic tabletop titles, many libraries offer special events like tournaments and tournaments featuring prize support where players compete against each other in popular strategy games such as Catan and Ticket To Ride. This type of competitive setting can be great fun for experienced board gamers or serve as an introduction point for those looking for more experienced players willing take on new opponents in popular titles such as Magic: The Gathering or Dungeons & Dragons; Whatever players prefer, these programs help build the local gaming community while introducing people from different backgrounds and experiences together in friendly competition.
A board game library offers endless opportunities for fun, engagement and an opportunity to immerse yourself in different worlds without leaving the comfort of your home. With many people now working from home, or having more time for leisure activities than ever before, such libraries are taking an increasingly prominent place in our lives.
In a board game library, you can find anything from classic board games like Monopoly and Uno, to wildly innovative creations with detailed storylines geared towards adults as well as children. The possibilities for a night of entertainment are nearly limitless! You can even have friends or family members gather around your virtual library table to collaborate on solutions and interact with each other in a safe environment.
Not only do board games build stronger relationships between players, but they also teach strategic thinking and problem-solving skills that may not be taught elsewhere. It has the power to open up conversations between generations and bridge gaps found within families or communities. In addition, many creators are seeking out reclaimed material recycled plastic components to create a sustainable type of gaming experience while reducing environmental waste due to over-packaging.
The impact of the Board Game Library phenomenon goes well beyond playing pieces on cardboard boards as it encourages learning through interaction — it work's wonders for team-building sessions at work or for family nights at home! In today's age of broken communication due to digital devices, gathering around the dinner table with your loved ones brings a much-needed sense of nostalgia along with opportunities for meaningful conversations and engaging activities that don't involve phones or tablets.
Does Goidwill Take Board Gamed
By taking traditional board gaming and elevating it with new concepts such as themes based on pop culture references and sustainability goals, these libraries provide a way to stay entertained without breaking any pandemic rules: safely keeping us engaged within our homes until we can explore the world outside again!
Board game libraries make me think of the countless hours I have spent in the past playing board games with friends and family. Board game libraries are a great way to create sweet and lasting memories that can be remembered for years to come. In the library, there's an array of different types of games available from easily accessible card games to classic games like Monopoly. Board game libraries allow you to explore different types of games and even challenge yourself by changing up the traditional rules. Ever wanted to start a new version of your favorite board game? The board game library gives you that opportunity!
In addition to being an excellent source for a variety of board games, board game libraries also provide access to interesting learning opportunities for children such as counting as well as basic math skills. Many board games require reading and comprehension strategies, which could help hone important cognitive skills in youngsters. Dedicated play sessions make it easier for children to pick up easily transferable lessons from one another, increasing levels of understanding between them while they learn. It can also encourage freedom of thought while it allows young minds gain more knowledge through playful activity. It is no wonder why parents are drawn to board game libraries in order time outside their homes with others!
The last benefit I will mention is multiplayer strategy gaming with its four X titles, wargames and co-op boardgames drawing larger groups together on an evening when both parties can enjoy a leisurely gaming session without having to worry about entertainment arrangements prior. With thousands upon thousands of potential genre crossover across many channels – such as Europea, Agricola, Villagers & Villainsz– those new to tabletop gaming or those who are looking for seasoned strategists alike may find the options offered here unbeatable compared even with digital alternatives available online today—being able to see live streams or scouting hallmarks in situ offers added assurance when selecting a title that may or not suit all gamers included in the group that night! And who doesn't want a bit friendly competition every now and again?
Board Game Library gives game lovers the unique opportunity to build their own board games using a wide variety of components. Using this platform, you have access to stacks of interesting materiall that can be mixed and matched to create truly unique experiences.

So what are you waiting for? Take flight into the world of creating fun & exciting board games with Board Game Library today!
The board game library allows people to explore adaptations of board games from different countries and cultures. For example, games that originate in Japan can be found with rules translated into a variety of other languages so they can be understood by people outside the country. Additionally, changes may have to be made to accommodate specific laws in certain countries. In some cases, an entirely new version of the game has been created to fit the guidelines and beliefs of a particular culture or society. For example, there are versions of classic Christian-themed board games such as Bibleopoly that have been adapted for Muslim communities. The same type of thing applies for educational and strategy type board games; Chinese Checkers was originally adapted from a German variant called Sternhalma to suit the cultural norms and preferences of China. Overall, the goal is for people to discover how these beloved classics have evolved over time for various reasons, and perhaps even garner inspiration for future adaptations.
The future of board game libraries looks exceedingly bright. Libraries have come a long way since their inception, and the emergence of online libraries has opened up possibilities that were never before considered. It's now possible to access a wider variety of games than ever before and to play them in a much more flexible manner. This is made possible by the introduction of digital versions of traditional board games that can be streamed directly to tablets or computers. Furthermore, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology has allowed players to interact with elements of the game without the need for physical pieces or game boards.
What Is In A Dungeon Board Game
Additionally, new advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have emerged that are capable of producing custom game experiences based on individual preferences, increasing replayability and value for each purchase. As AI continues to evolve and grow it could even become possible for players to create their own custom rulesets within certain parameters, leading to even greater diversity among boards games. Ultimately, this increased access and flexibility provides an avenue for people from all walks of life to experience beloved board game classics as well as discover new titles with ease. There's no doubt that board game libraries will continue developing and growing in popularity into the future.
One of the great benefits of a board game library is that it promotes social and educational development through play. Board games are a great way for people to interact with each other, and introduce various concepts such as strategy and critical thinking. Through regular game nights, board game participants can develop valuable skills like decision-making, problem solving, and communication.
Moreover, a board game library provides access to many different types of content from a wide range of genres. This allows patrons to experience something new or immerse themselves in their favorite type of gaming activity. From classic titles such as Monopoly to newer, more interactive games like Catan, all types of gamers can find an activity suitable for them at a board game library. Furthermore, those who aren't necessarily into playing games themselves can still benefit from borrowing pieces of another person's creative work or bringing it home to show friends and family their gaming preferences or imaginative creations.
Finally, utilizing a board game library could boost morale in other ways due to its cost-efficiency in comparison to purchasing one's own collection outright. By being able to borrow different kinds of games at low costs (if not free!), patrons have more spare money on hand that they can put towards investing in materials needed for customizing existing board games or building completely original ones from scratch! Furthermore, those who experiment with their designs could even use the library as a venue for testing out their prototypes by allowing others to borrow their personal projects which would give the newly designed activity more exposure among the community – not only does this encourage creativity but also gives prospective customers the opportunity to gain feedback about the venture before taking any big risks investing in mass producing it!
A board game library offers a variety of benefits for both dedicated players and casual gaming enthusiasts alike. One advantage of having a library is that it takes the stress out of making sure your own personal collection is up to date with new releases. With multiple copies of popular games, everyone is sure to get a chance to play their favorite games without worrying if they have all the pieces or do not have enough players. A board game library also allows people to try out unfamiliar games without needing to buy them beforehand – meaning, no more wasted money on unpopular titles! Having an expansive and diverse selection within the inventory makes it easier for families to find games appropriate for different age levels, allowing everyone in the family an enjoyable game night experience. Board game libraries are also communal spaces that stimulate creativity, socializing, and problem-solving skills – creating many potential networks and friendships in the process. Ultimately, a board game library provides hours upon hours of entertainment at no cost; what better way could there be to spend your time?
The benefits of having access to a board game library are tremendous. What's more, they provide educational opportunities as well – learning how to understand strategy and consequence given limited resources helps children develop executive functioning skills from an early age. Additionally, bringing friends together over these activities can strengthen relationships between them over time with consistent interaction over various scenarios; this encourages peer bonding as each person within the group learns about one another's characters and beliefs in strategic scenarios using various types of boards and card games. There are even cross-cultural opportunities available for those who want to learn about new cultures through play! Parents can relax knowing their kids won't be exposed to inactive screens during their visits to libraries housing classic analog classics like Battleship or Catan while also encouraging young minds into creative approaches towards problem solving logic puzzles including Escape Rooms or Clue Master Detective editions. Furthermore, depending on the selection available at certain libraries visitors can explore active theme park simulations such as Ticket To Ride Japan or Betrayal At The House On The Hill that requires individuals observe their counterparts' strategies while attempting negotiate diplomatic deals when necessary too — something unique yet ultimately beneficial experience you simply cannot have anywhere else!

An insider revealed details about the Snapdragon 775G processor
The collection of rumors about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 775G mobile processor has been replenished with the publication of a reputable insider Roland Quandt. In his Twitter blog, he not only announced the expected release date for the new chip maker, but also revealed technical details about the mobile platform.
Snapdragon 775 Specifications
According to the source, the 6nm Snapdragon 775G processor has not yet been introduced, which will replace the Snapdragon 765G model, which is widely used in Android devices of the middle price segment. His debut is expected to take place in early 2021. According to the informant's report, Qualcomm is already testing the new product with the code number SM7350 as part of a device with 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage and a 120 Hz display, which hints at the high performance of the chip by the standards of its class.
It is reported that the Snapdragon 775G will be 40% faster than its predecessor in terms of computing power, and 50 percent in terms of integrated graphics, and will surpass the Snapdragon 865 in energy efficiency.
Quandt also mentioned the company's new flagship chip, which will be produced using a 5-nm process technology at Samsung factories, since all TSMC's production facilities are reserved by Apple for the release of the proprietary A14 Bionic processor and other components of the new iPhone. In addition to the "extra-large" Cortex-X1 core, the Snapdragon 875 will feature an integrated 5G X60 modem – this solution will reduce the area occupied by the mobile platform in the smartphone body. In addition, the whistleblower announced the upcoming release of the Snapdragon 875 Plus processor, although he did not name its characteristics – it is expected that the "overclocked" chip will be presented in July 2021.
Qualcomm representatives did not comment on the information published by the insider.

Zitten is een van de lichaamshoudingen van mensen en sommige dieren waarbij het lichaam in rust verkeert en de opgerichte romp gesteund wordt door de billen of dijen. Baby's leren zelfstandig te zitten als zij ongeveer vijf à negen maanden oud zijn.

In overdrachtelijke zin drukt 'zitten' soms een onveranderlijke positie of situatie uit, zoals bij 'vastzitten' (zich niet kunnen bewegen of verplaatsen), een gevangenisstraf ondergaan (drie jaar moeten zitten of zijn straf uitzitten) en 'zittenblijven' (een schooljaar moeten overdoen). In een bestuur 'zitten' betekent er lid van zijn en een kledingstuk dat 'goed zit' heeft de ideale pasvorm.

Gezondheidsrisico's
Overmatig zitgedrag (vele uren per dag zittend doorbrengen, zoals langdurig televisiekijken) brengt een verhoogd risico op hart- en vaatziekten en een verhoogd sterftecijfer met zich mee. Dit verband wordt deels verklaard door een verhoogde kans op ontstekingen en stofwisselingsproblemen. Langdurig zitten wordt door verschillende onderzoeken in verband gebracht met een verhoogde bloeddruk, trombose, een verhoogd cholesterolgehalte en achteruitgang van de spieren.  Een goede zithouding (onderdeel van de studie der ergonomie) kan onder meer overbelasting van de nek (zoals bij het vooroverbuigen van het hoofd bij het werken met de computer) helpen voorkomen. De belangrijkste principes voor een goede zithouding beginnen bij de armen, heupen en rug. De armen dienen op de leuningen comfortabel te leunen. De armleuning moet gelijk zijn aan de tafel. Een goede vuistregel is dat de armen bij de elleboog een hoek van 90° moet maken. De hoogte van de stoel moet zo versteld worden dat de voeten plat op de grond kunnen staan. De rugleuning moet zo ingesteld zijn, dat de onder- en bovenrug ondersteund zijn.

Criminals, to quote Bruce Wayne, are a superstitious, cowardly lot. To combat them, Batman's real-life counterparts use a variety of tools, including one you probably have in your pocket: their smartphones. And that's prompted one real-life superhero to create a portable solar panel that keeps their phones juiced for a longer pursuit of truth and justice.
And it's not just for men and women in tights. "We talk a lot about energy independence from a national standpoint," Barnes tells Danger Room. "This is a way for people to be independent for themselves from any kind of power grid."
But make no mistake: The Apollo is a tool to assist the burgeoning field of masked vigilantes and protectors of the innocent. Barnes, a 24-year-old now based in Austin, Texas, explains that self-styled supes like himself often operate in places where accessing data from smartphones can be Kryptonite for their batteries – like, for instance, the tunnels where Barnes searches for homeless people in distress, or during a natural disaster. "Communications can be really bad in those situations," he recounts.
The Apollo is already attracting interest from Barnes' fellow heroes. "A smartphone is a superhero's number-one crime fighting tool," the Urban Avenger, a San Diego-based vigilante, tells Danger Room. "Police scanners, cameras, GPS and phoning the local dispatch can drain a phone fast. The Apollo solar panel arm band keeps my phone charged so I can keep doing my job." At least until the Joker disables the cell towers.
Let's get this out of the way: Yes, there are real superheroes; no, they do not have superpowers. The Initiative, with which Barnes is no longer affiliated, packs a non-lethal arsenal of throwing stars, stun guns and axe handles. Masks and codenames are optional – Barnes doesn't use either. They converse, plan team-ups and talk shop on the internet, including on two forums that the Urban Avenger maintains. There's a book and an HBO documentary exploring the phenomenon in depth.
Barnes built the Apollo after recently suffering a broken arm and attending a fabrication event in New York called the Open Hardware Summit in what he describes as a "big, giant, plastic, Borg-looking" brace. "I was surrounded by all these tech geeks and everyone had their own idea for how I should outfit it," he says, like turning the brace into an outsized Swiss Army knife. He opted instead to hook on a solar panel, protected by a polycarbonate shield, connected to a battery and an iPhone dock. "A lot of people wanted to buy it and I got investors," Barnes says.
That investor cash – now gone – went to turning Barnes' prototype into a manufacturable product. The Apollo now uses a 6-volt solar panel, made by Voltaic Systems, a protective acrylic layer, and velcro arm straps. It's a little bigger than a smartphone. (No, it won't work at night.) It's not iPhone-specific: Any phone or tablet with a USB port can charge through the panel. Barnes is thinking of retailing the Apollo for between $128 and $168, and he may be the first superhero with a Kickstarter page. Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark, he's not.
But he does have something else in common with them. The Apollo isn't the first superhero tool Barnes invented. That would be the North Star, a dazzler "to blind an attacker to get an edge in a fight." The Apollo doesn't have an offensive component – which helps explain one of the differences between fictional and real-life superheroes.
Some real-life superheroes really do fight thugs. Barnes recounts patrolling Austin's rowdy Sixth Street after last call and breaking up drunken brawls. But mostly, real-life superheroes perform civic-minded services like painting over gang graffiti, helping the homeless and, in Barnes' case, protecting Zuccotti Park during Occupy Wall Street. Out in Portland, Oregon, the adventurer known as Knight Owl is training to be a paramedic.
Knight Owl has known Barnes for years, and hung out with the New York Initiative during the 2010 New York Comic Con. He's looking forward to using the Apollo.
"My phone has an encyclopedia of apps for EMS, Fire, Haz-mat, as well as the several dozen related podcasts I subscribe to which help augment my training," Knight Owl says in an email to Danger Room. "Not having that useful data available in the event of an emergency could be catastrophic."
Update, 5:50 p.m.: The New York Initiative tweets at me that there was some misreporting from a few years ago that found its way into my piece. Apparently the Initiative does own a non-lethal arsenal of throwing stars and such, but doesn't patrol New York streets with its components. I've changed the post to reflect n' correct.


Manchester City welcome back star player Kevin De Bruyne for their Champions League group match at Shakhtar Donetsk – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT from 8pm.
The Belgian featured in the Citizens' 5-0 demolition of Burnley at the weekend but returns to the starting XI for the first time since sustaining a knee ligament injury in August.
Elsewhere, there are starts for Gabriel Jesus, who comes in for Sergio Aguero, while Leroy Sane is on the bench.
Pep Guardiola has named a somewhat strange back line with no recognised right-back among the starters as Kyle Walker and Vincent Kompany drop to the bench.
Below you can see the confirmed Shakhtar v City teams.

But don't let that deter you. If you're looking for a non-pretentious bar with down to earth people then this might be the spot. It's not exactly the hip spot nor is it a complete dive. A easy spot to sit down for a drink and not have to think about anything else.

Would you trust this robot to solve your Rubik's Cube?
A robot has been invented that can solve any jumbled Rubik's Cube in just 35 seconds. The RuBot 2, created by inventor Pete Redmond, will be strutting its stuff at the London Toy Fair on Wednesday.
The RuBot has two hi-res webcams for its eyes. It picks up the Cube and scans all six sides using these eyes. It then uses "artificially intelligent neural-classifying software" to work out what moves are needed to solve the Cube.
And finally, its pneumatic arms swap the Cube from hand to hand to make the quick-fire turns.
A total of twelve million Rubik's Cubes were sold worldwide last year, but that doesn't really explain why anyone would want to build a robot to solve them. Especially as the human world record for solving the puzzle is currently 9.55 seconds - far quicker than the robot can manage.

ON AIR: Overnight Talk
Should the accommodation supplement be increased for the elderly?
Tue, 16 Apr 2019, 9:52AM

An investment expert is warning against rushing to raise accommodation supplements for the elderly.
Research from the University of Otago shows there is a rising number of retiree renters - and it says those who don't own a home are left in a worse financial position.
However, Eriksen Global managing director, Jonathan Eriksen, told Mike Yardley NZ Super isn't based on the assumption that people over 65 are homeowners.
"That's not what it is based on at all, that is part of the premise though. When it was contemplated, the aim was that people would be able to save during their working life and retire with a debt-free home, but that trend has been reducing at least for the last 20 years. "
He said a longer life span is also causing issues for elderly retirees.
"The maximum rate of home ownership amongst retired people got to 75 per cent in the 70s. But in those days, people retired at 65 but most of them were dead by 75, but nowadays many should live to be over 85."
"Things are changing a lot and home ownership is just one of them."
He said calls to increase superannuation accommodation supplements are premature.
Eriksen said the housing market is in a volatile position at the moment - but it won't last.
"This is a temporary thing because it is a supply and demand thing. At some stage, not in the near future but in the next 10 years, interest rates will normalise."
He said making KiwiSaver compulsory could help the issue.
However, he said people are getting married later in life which means they are buying houses later in life.

The Talon House has been upgraded to the latest version of software, v3.2.1. You'll find things look a little different and a few things have changed.
A problem I've encountered is logging in. You may have to click it several times before you get the sign-in screen. If you do, let me know and I'll report it as a bug.
If you are having problems with the site please let me know what the problem is by sending an email with a copy of the error message you receive. You can send it to talonrider2000 @ yahoo .com. Don't include the spaces that I have.
I know one member was getting an error message after logging in. If you were also having the same problem, the issue has been resolved and you should be able to log in.


It appears I can't send or receive PMs. As I haven't been informed why by any of the modmins, I can only assume this is a technical issue and not a petty restriction.
Please can this be investiagted?
Think it's an issue for your general practitioner tbh hun.
Damn, thought this was gonna be a thread where we can mock Theresa May.
May as well still do that, not much chance of getting a response on the actual issue unless Mark or Luke Imp see this.
I might be wrong but some forums I have been in only allow PM's if you post a certain amount of posts, I.e 50 posts etc.
This stops Spammers hitting members with one multiple post to all members.
Hmm. I see I can only pm those members I've contacted before, so I was able to pm SOC (I think!), but I can't pm others as I'm not getting the 'start a conversation' option when I click on their usernames. Not that I want to contact anybody right now but still.
Aye, every time I tried to say that with my false teeth out I kept spitting all over the shop.
You can click on the message envelope at the top of the page, click on start a new conversation then type the name in (or paste a previously copied name). Bit of a faff though.
Interesting. I can send a PM to you but I can't to Son of Cod.
Yeah, if I click on anyone else's username it has the 'start conversation' option but doesn't with soc.
I will PM AFCB_ Mark for you as when I got banned from creating threads I tried Saddlerrad but he just ignored me, but Mark sorted it for me as soon as I messaged him.
Thank you Fish you fine gent. If I had been restricted purposefully then the modmins would have told me why, so it is very strange.
I managed to access SOC to start a new conversation so sent a pm....dunno if he'll get it though.
