Q: Namespaces that prepend the current namespace I have a class wrapper, class car, that lives in the namespace of Automobile. Then I have class tire that lives in the namespace of Automobile\Wheels. In the tire class, I want to access a static variable from the car class, but the only way to do that is to reference the complete namespace\class.
<?php

namespace Automobile;

class Car {
    public static $Axle;

    public function __construct() {
        static::$Axle = new Axle();
    }
}

<?php

namespace Automobile\Wheels;

class Tire {
    public $size;
    public function __construct($size = 16) {
        $this->size = $size;

        \Automobile\Car::$Axle->add_wheel($this);
    }
}

My questions are: is it an okay practice to reference classes like this? Are there any ways to reference the class without including the complete and absolute namespace for the class?

A: There's really no good or bad way to do it, although people might be quite opinionated about it (the same with using spaces or tabs for indents, but let's not go down that road ;) ). As long as they're properly referenced it's okay to use fully qualified class names.
You might want to use the use keywords to 'import' external classes, which improves the readability in my opinion:
<?php
namespace Automobile\Wheels;

use Automobile\Car;

class Tire {
    public $size;
    public function __construct($size = 16) {
        $this->size = $size;

        Car::$Axle->add_wheel($this);
    }
}

You might want to reference the PHP documentation, as it is quite concise about the subject and gives good insight in how to use namespaces.

A: As others have pointed out, use use for the full namespaced class (e.g., use Automobile\Car;). From there, you can use the shortened class reference (e.g., Car) throughout the rest of the file.
As an aside, it's best practice to avoid statically invoking properties and method if at all possible. It's generally considered best practice to inject your dependencies as it decouples your code and allows for swapping out of pieces of your application using interfaces.
I would do something like this:
<?php

namespace Automobile;

class Car {
    /** @var Axle */
    public $axle;

    public function __construct(Axle $axle) {
        $this->axle = $axle;
    }
}

<?php

namespace Automobile\Wheels;

use Automobile\Car;

class Tire {

    public $size;

    public function __construct(Car $car, $size = 16) {
        $this->size = $size;
        $car->axle->add_wheel($this);
    }
}


I was injured playing football in high school and was told I needed to have knee surgery and would miss the rest of the season. Then I went and saw Dr. Swickard, he treated my knee, and I played not only the rest of that high school season, but all through college without so much as a knee brace. I was completely hooked on Chiropractic.
After my experience with my knee and being a patient of Dr. Swickard's all through my college football days, I was pretty sure I wanted to be a Chiropractor. I just loved (and still do!) the way Dr. Swickard and Chiropractic helped people in all walks of life be healthier in a natural way. I did an internship with Dr. Swickard during my undergraduate education, and getting up close exposure to the life of a Chiropractor sealed the deal for me.
I received my undergraduate degree from Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. I loved my time at Baker; I played four years of football, coached one season, got a great liberal arts education, and met my wife! After graduating from Baker I attended Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City. I am very lucky that such a great school is located here in my hometown, thanks to Cleveland I didn't have to move away from my family to pursue my passion and career. I had many great instructors, and clinicians while at Cleveland.
My favorite time in school was definitely when we got to have our own patients in the student clinic. The hands on experience and guidance from our clinicians was invaluable in my development.
After graduation from Cleveland Chiropractic in 2009 I came to Swickard Chiropractic as an associate doctor. My philosophy and goal for my practice is simple, I want to help more people everyday. The health and wellness of my patients is my number one priority at all times. I try to always keep an open line of communication between myself and my patients so that they can know what I think is best for them during their treatment, and so that I know what their goals are for treatment.
I am married to my best friend Megan, who I met when I was a sophomore and she was a freshman at Baker. We dated all through college and were married in 2005. We welcomed our first child, Dailey Claire to the world on June 10th, 2012. She is truly an awesome blessing and we love her so much. She is also already a regular Chiropractic patient of mine! She joins us and her "siblings" Clubber (boxer) and Layla (lab) in our family!
Megan and I have great relationships with our families and have a great group of friends from high school and college that we love spending time with. In my free time I love lifting weights, playing sports, and cheering on the Chiefs, Royals, KU and Notre Dame.
Our bodies are truly amazing. We all have an inborn intelligence that knows what we need to keep us healthy, and thriving, our bodies just need us to minimize the interference or stress they experience. There are many ways to minimize and overcome that interference or stress we all experience in everyday life, I try to do that personally, and help my patients to do the same thing.
For myself and my patients a big part of that is getting regular adjustments. Everyone is different and treatment plans vary from person to person, but for me personally to feel my best I get adjusted once a week. Getting adjusted removes interference from my nervous system, which allows every other system in my body to function better and helps my body cope with the stress of everyday life and thrive, not just survive.
I also try to focus on other aspects of wellness such as eating a healthy diet focusing on whole natural foods, taking whole food supplements to fill in the nutritional holes found in every diet, getting regular exercise, regular sleep, and avoiding chemicals and other unnatural substances when possible. In our modern society it is impossible to avoid all stress, but with the right approach we can definitely minimize and overcome this stress.
Enough about me! Call our Overland Park office and let us know how we can help you! I would love the opportunity to help you take your first step to better health!


According to the legend, Chhaang is a favored native remedy for various ailments, including the common cold, but can be used to alleviate more serious afflictions, like mountain colds, fevers, allergic rhinitis and even alcoholism. Popular tales involving this drink speak about the Yeti, who raids remote mountain villages in search of Chhaang to drink. Whether or not the Himalayan Snowman tale is true is up for debate, but western mountaineers have stated feeling relief from mountain-related colds when drinking Chhaang.
While Chhaang is most popular in Tibetan and Nepalese culture, it does have a following in India and Bhutan.
Chhaang is closely related to beer, and in summer months, it is served at room temperature. The natives warm the drink until it's as hot as tea and serve it in wooden mugs or brass bowls in the winter season.
Chhaang is made by brewing grains such as barley, finger-millet or rice and placed into a barrel of bamboo the locals call "dhungro." Much like brewing tea, boiling water is then poured into the barrel via a bamboo tube called a "pipsing." The process proceeds with the cooling of the barley and commencement of fermentation by introducing yeast or dried barm into the brew and allowing it to sit for two to three days.
The barm used to make Chhaang is made of flour, and in regions like Balti, can contain additives like ginger and aconite. Once the fermentation process begins, water is added to the final product. In Lahaul, the drink is pressed by hand, yielding a milky, cloudy drink.
In Nepal, Chhaang is referred to as tongba and it is made by passing hot water through fermenting barley. It is served in a communal large pot, which the enjoyers drink through wooden straws. A similar drink, jand, is served in large mugs. On Everest, some Sherpas enjoy making Chhaang for their western clients and they often recommend it for the Khumbu Cough.
If you're wondering what Chhaang taste like, it resembles ale, but with a milky color. It is not high in alcohol, but it does produce and intense feeling of comfort and warmth, which definitely helps endure the high temperatures of most high-altitude climbs. Drink it also for the Khumbu Cough. If you're venturing on Everest2017, ask your Sherpa about Chhaang.

limit speeds on orcon router?
Forums › Orcon and iServe › limit speeds on orcon router?
If you wanted to do that your best option would be to look at new hardware such as a Mikrotik router.
It potentially would be possible with QoS profiles in the NF4V but it's not going to be straight forward.
Is there a reason why you want Gigabit? For 99.9% of people it's not going to make the slightest difference to their everyday internet experience.
Seeding/streaming from my server etc... (the 3MB/s really isnt cutting it on the 200/20) so nothing built into orcons router?
To be perfectly honest if you want Gigabit then just get it - don't bother limiting speeds as nobody is ever going to need full Gigabit and this is a tonne of bandwidth to go around.

Woman scoops $1MILLION lottery win after missing her flight and buying scratchcards to 'pass the time'
AN ultra-lucky woman has scooped a whopping $1MILLION lottery win after missing her flight and buying scratchcards to "pass the time".
Florida Lottery has revealed that Angela Caravella, 51, of Kansas City, Missouri, claimed the top prize from its 'Fastest Road To $1,000,000 Scratch-Off' game.
A thrilled Caravella said: ''I had a feeling something bizarre was going to happen after my flight was cancelled unexpectedly.
"I bought a few Scratch-Off tickets to pass the time and just like that – I won $1 million!''
While stranded in Florida last week, she decided to buy a few Scratch-Off tickets from Publix, at 1220 Kingsway Road in Brandon.
Because of lottery rules, the retailer also wins as a result of her windfall.
It will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket, say lottery bosses.
The $30 game was launched in February 2020 and features 155 top prizes of$1million, and over $948million in cash prizes.
Its overall odds of winning are one-in-2.79.
Scratch-Off games have so far boosted the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF) by more than $1 billion from 2019-20.
The Sun Online recently warned about a new scam pretending to be an Amazon lottery and spreading nationwide.
An avid Amazon electronics shopper, Brian Hunt, was one of many that fell for the hoax after receiving a text message saying, "Congratulations Brian, you came in second place," in a recent Amazon raffle.
But, the Better Business Bureau says it has now heard hundreds of complaints all around the country about the con.

Dr. Hubert A. Minnis, FNM Leader
to Address Bahamas Press Club Monthly Meeting
Free National Movement Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis
NASSAU, The Bahamas – Free National Movement Leader the Hon Dr Hubert A Minnis will address The Bahamas Press Club monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at the British Colonial Hilton.
Dr Minnis, is scheduled to speak to the organization and other media colleagues at 7 p.m. in the Sir Harry Oakes Boardroom.
As the country gears up for General Election, The Press Club will facilitate a number of such presentations "aimed at strengthening the democratic process, thus encouraging eligible Bahamians to register to vote," says Press Club President Anthony A Newbold.
Affectionately known as 'Doc" Hubert Alexander Minnis, first entered frontline politics in 2007 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for the Free National Movement (FNM) Government. He served as Minister of Health under the FNM from 2007 – 2012.
He was reelected to Parliament on May 7, 2012, as the Member of Parliament for the Killarney Constituency.
On May 26, 2012, Dr. Minnis accepted the leadership of the Opposition Free National Movement. During his acceptance speech, he pledged a vision for The Bahamas encompassing the principles of accountability and transparency. At the November 22, 2015, Free National Movement Convention, Dr. Minnis was re-elected as Party Leader. Once again, at the July 2016 Free National Movement's National Convention, Dr. Minnis emerged as Leader of the Party.
Dr. Minnis is "dedicated to the promotion of Bahamian ownership and the expansion of wealth in the economy through the redevelopment and transformation of traditional Over-the-Hill and inner-city communities," he biography reflects.
His biography also states that he has endeared himself to the children of the Killarney Constituency through his "Lets Read Killarney Program" designed to cultivate in the youth, and foster within them a love for reading and literature. He enjoys reading, meeting people, spending time with family and friends, and working out at the gym.
A Junkanoo enthusiast and member of the Saxons Junkanoo Super Stars, it is not unusual to see Dr. Minnis rushing on Bay Street during the Boxing Day and New Year's Junkanoo Parades.
Born in Bain's Town to Rosalie North and Randolph Minnis, Dr. Minnis attended Our Lady's Primary School, Western Junior, and St. Augustine's College in Nassau. He graduated from the University of Minnesota, U.S.A., with a Bachelor of Science degree and further matriculated in London, Great Britain. He is a Member of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (MRCOG) and a Fellow of The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FRCOG).
Dr. Minnis is married to the former Patricia Beneby and has three children.

El National Provincial Championship (NPC) fue la principal liga nacional de rugby, de 1976 a 2005, en Nueva Zelanda. Con la decisión de profesionalizar, fue reemplazado por dos competiciones: la Mitre 10 Cup y el Heartland Championship (Segunda división).

Historia
Hasta 1976 en el país Kiwi no existió una competición organizada para los mejores jugadores del Mundo, solo se disputaba el Escudo Ranfurly.

Los 26 equipos provinciales fueron distribuidos: los 11 mejores en la Primera División y los restantes 15 en la Segunda división que se dividió en Isla Norte e Isla Sur. Auckland fue el equipo más exitoso en el campeonato NPC, habiendo ganado 15 de las 30 series.

En 1992 se introdujeron semifinales y una final para determinar el campeón en cada división; anteriormente, se había utilizado un sistema de liga.

El último cambio fue en 1998, cuando el número de equipos en cada división se cambió a 10 en la División Uno, 9 en la División Dos y 8 en la División Tres. Tener un número par de equipos en la División Uno eliminó la necesidad de despedidas. A partir de ese año, se terminó la promoción / el descenso automático entre las dos divisiones principales. En su lugar, el ganador de la División Dos jugó un partido de promoción-descenso contra el club de abajo en la División Uno para determinar si los clubes cambiarían de lugar. Hasta el 2002, este partido fue organizado por el equipo inferior en la División Uno, pero el sitio fue cambiado en 2003 al campo local del campeón de la División Dos.

Internacional
En 1986 la NRZ y la Australian Rugby Union crearon el torneo internacional de clubes: South Pacific Championship. La National Provincial Championship sirvió entonces como clasificadora; los tres primeros equipos de cada temporada, representaban al país. En 1993 se hizo lo mismo con el Súper 10 que integró a Sudáfrica.

En 1995 con la creación de la Sanzaar y la fundación del Súper Rugby, se crearon las 5 franquicias kiwi para que participen en el nuevo torneo continental. Las Provincias desde entonces sirven como base formativa de los mejores jugadores del país, que buscan ser contratados por las franquicias y así lograr un lugar en los All Blacks.

Formato
Inicialmente, la División Uno estaba formada por 11 equipos, 7 de la Isla Norte y 4 del Sur.

En 1980, hubo un cambio de formato. No hubo descenso automático para ningún equipo de la División Uno. En cambio, los equipos ganadores de la División Dos (1 por cada isla) jugaron entre sí para determinar quién disputaba la promoción contra el último de la Primera División.

Segunda división
Los restantes disputaron una División Dos dividida, con equipos de cada isla jugando entre ellos. El equipo de la División Uno de la parte inferior de la Isla del Sur jugó con el ganador de la División Dos del Sur para determinar si cambiaron las divisiones, mientras que el equipo de la Primera División de la Isla del Norte que se encuentra en la parte inferior fue automáticamente relegado, cambiando de lugar con el ganador de la División Dos del Norte.

Tercera división
En 1985 la Segunda división fue unificada y se creó una Tercera división. Los equipos ubicados arriba y abajo en cada división fueron promovidos y relegados automáticamente cada año. En 1992, tres equipos de la División Uno fueron relegados, por lo que había 9 equipos en cada división.

Patino is bringing it with Storm. credit: MiLB
Name: Luis Patino, RHP
Status: Class A Advanced, California League, Lake Elsinore Storm
ETA: 2022
Scouting: Luis Patino isn't the flashiest prospect around, but he has the stuff to be a number 3 starter. With a plus fastball that sits at 95, an above average curveball and slider, and a change that needs a little work, Patino finds himself a forgotten piece of a very deep Padres system. But he might just be the piece you're looking for.
He's just 19-years-old, but already boasts the build of a power pitcher. He's athletic and mature, athletically, so all that's left is to hone his skills. The key piece for Patino is his control, which gets away from him at times.
Stats: After a promotion to Advanced-A Lake Elsinore to begin the season, Patino has been a model of consistency, allowing 3 or fewer earned runs in each of his 13 starts in 2019. He's struck out 80 in 61.1 innings, while limiting opponents to a .196 batting average with just 4 long balls.
When added all up, you've got an ERA of 3.38 and a WHIP of 1.21,the "W" in "WHIP" clearly inflating that figure, as we'll discuss in a moment. Patino's xFIP sits at an impressive 2.91.
He's built upon a solid 2018 campaign in which he turned in a 2.16 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP with 98 K's across 83.1 innings.
As previously mentioned, the major knock on Patino is his control. He's handed out 72 free passes in 200.2 career innings thus far in the minor leagues.
If you're invested in Patino, or plan to be, keep an eye on the walks and one other thing. In 2018, he turned in a 1.19 GB/FB ratio, keeping the ball on the ground and out of the seats. However, that ratio has plummeted to 0.76 in 2019, the first stop at which he's allowed more fly balls than he's induced grounders. If that walk rate doesn't come down, and those fly balls turn into homers, we could see a spike in ERA and his stock would fall.
Summary: Patino is currently ranked 40th on MLB.com's prospect rankings. It surprised me to see his name above more known pitching prospects like Liberatore, Honeywell, and Sheffield, but he's been very dependable and has earned some notoriety. If he can cut down on the walks while continuing to keep fly balls from reaching the seats, we could be looking at a higher ceiling than originally expected.

« Gardaí Seek Help Re. Missing Tipperary Man
Third Level Students Forced To Use Hotel Accommodation. »
"Tipperary Scutchers" Where Are They Gone?
Back in the late 18th-century spinning wheels were supplied, by the then Irish Linen Board, to Tipperary individuals, in an ambitious scheme undertaken to encourage the growing/farming of Flax.
Nationally, some 60,000 linen workers, became involved, which in turn assisted the development of a vibrant Irish linen industry. Irish Damask linen, developed in the 18th century, would go on to grace the dining tables of Royalty and the lesser landed gentry across the world, thus providing employment at a local level here in Co. Tipperary and nationally for centuries.
Since ancient times, Flax, also known as Linseed, from which linen is manufactured, had been growing in Ireland. Proof of flax curing has been uncovered in Irish bogs, dating back over two thousand years.
Early Irish Brehon Laws dictated that every farmer had to learn and practice the cultivation of Flax. In Tudor times, between 1485 and 1603, the production of linen was so great in Ireland that a law had to be passed banning the practise of 'leaching' and 'water retting' in rivers, to protect against the poisoning of fish stocks.
[Leaching and Retting: A process employed to facilitate the controlled rotting of cellular tissues, on Flax, thus separating the fibre from the stem of the plant.]
Labourers offloaded their flax plants into ponds, rivers, or retting dams and let it 'ret' for up to two weeks. Those farming then set up what were called flax 'chapels', rather like 'stooked' grain sheaves; latter supporting each other to be dried by the prevailing wind.
Flax sheaves being 'stooked'
Back in 1796, the Board of Trustees of the Linen and Hempen Manufactures of Ireland (1711-1823) wished to encourage more farmers to grow flax and hemp seed to meet a ready demand. Spinning wheels, and looms, were awarded in proportion to the acreage sown. This incentive, encouraged small farmers to allocate part of their land to flax and hemp crops. County inspectors were appointed to receive claims from the growers and county lists were published as official documents of the Board.
A quarter-acre of flax grown would have qualified for one spinning wheel and for those who grew over five acres, a loom to the value of fifty shillings was granted.

Small cottage industries thrived across Ireland until large factory-type production began in the 1830s, providing water-powered scutching (beating), washing and beetling mills (beetling the pounding of linen or cotton fabric to give a flat, lustrous sheen was achieved). Irish industrialised linen production occupied both men, women and children, latter who worked to steep, scutch, spin, weave and bleach, latter stage using lime.
In the Census of Ireland in 1911 there where 456 people nationally whose occupations are recorded as 'Flax Scutchers'.
Are there any persons occupied as 'Scutchers' in Co. Tipperary today?

Euroleague Fantasy Challenge Top 16 Round 1
Posted on December 28, 2015 by corbenDallasEFC
After a one-week break from Euroleague basketball, we are back this week with the first round of the top 16 phase. This is our new Euroleague Fantasy Challenge Top 16 Round 1 article. Bare in mind that the games will be played on Tuesday and Wednesday this week due to New year's eve. We are once again presenting you with 10 players that you should consider adding to your fantasy team. There are 8 teams less to choose from now, but there are still plenty of good choices and undervalued players to go for. At the start of the top 16, we particularly like a few players that will be facing their former teams as well as some that are playing their former arch nemesis. Stay with us and find out which Homecomers do we like in our article.
Extra motive – picks for Euroleague Fantasy Challenge Top 16 Round 1
James Gist: Certainly one of the best players of Panathinaikos this year, but also a former player of Fenerbahce. gist has been playing very good this season and it if it wasn't for his injury he would most probably be on of the most expensive players in the big man section. The player in a good shape plus a game against his old team has worked very good for me in the past. 57 credits for Gist if you like this homecomer.
Milos Teodosic: Probably the best PG in Europe at the moment stands at only 68.4 credits. He and his CSKA team will be paying a visit to their neighbours Khimki Moscow this week. I expect to see a very fast game In Russia this round. I reckon it will be a proper VTB league game. VTB games often end up with more than 160 points scored and there is a lot of room for big PIRs's in that kind of games. This could be Teodosic's lowest price of the season and it's a great time to be getting him. Teodosic in an up-tempo game for such a price is "must" if you ask me.
Dontaye Draper: Our first "homecomer" Is D.D. He will be returning to Zagreb to play his former team Cedevita. Draper played great basketball when he was a member of Cedevita which also made him a member of the Croatian national team.
Martynas Pocius: Reinaldas Seibutis still seems to be out and as long as that is the case Pocius should be the best choice among the lowest priced players. His price is pretty much ridiculous compared to his talent and experience. He still has got enough power within him to put up ver good numbers. He was struggling during the regular season and was just getting back into the rotation, but now he seems ready. Definitely worth considering for only 11.6 credits.
Jeffery Taylor: Probably the most undervalued player there is at the moment. His current shape is at a satisfying level and he is currently one of the best players of "Los Blancos. Real brought back K.C. Rivers a few days ago, but Sergio Llull also got injured in the game against Barcelona, so I'm not concerned about Taylor's playing time. His biggest flaw is his outside shooting, but he is one of the most physical players on his team and his athleticism is what get's him a lot of playing time. Even though he is not a god shooter his two late three-pointers sparked Real's comeback in the 4th quarter against Barcelona. Real will be playing Brose Baskets this week and I expect Taylor as one of the fittest players of Madrid to step up. For 20 credits Taylor should be considered a steal.
Kostas Sloukas: An ex Olympiacos guard will be welcoming PAO at his new house in Istanbul his week. You are probably already guessing that I'm using my old method of picking a player with an "extra motive". 42 credits for a player that could get vengeful is not too much. I hope Sloukas does not let me down.
Alexey Shved: Shved has started showing his NBA quality and class at the end o the regular season when he put up big numbers especially in the points section. This is a big game and Shved should have the ball in his hands a lot. What will he do with it and will he be assigned a special guard by coach It remains to be seen. In any case, Shved has been playing well lately and I don't see him being overpriced at 62 credits. Oh yea, another think he is an ex CSKA player too.
Justin Doelman: Peace and friendship hall is certainly one of the toughest places to be playing at. The games there are often very tough and low scoring, especially when big teams are visiting. Still, Doelman is definitely on of the go-to guys for Barcelona and I expect him to be one of the leading scorers for the Spanish powerhouse in such an important game. He had a very good game against Real on Sunday against real in Madrid and I don't expect anything less from him tomorrow. At 38.7 credits Doelman is a bargain.
Anthony Randolph: I always like having an athletic and powerful PF when his team is playing Cedevita. So when I saw that I could get Anthony Randolph for only 44 credits, I did not stop to think even for a minute. When he is at a 100%, I consider him to be one of the best PF's in Europe at the moment. He had some injury problems, but he seems to be ok now. He played the last two games in the VTB league. I'm going for Randolph while his price is still small and what better opportunity to get him, but before a game against Cedevita.
Felipe Reyes: Real was playing below their level at the start of the regular season and it almost caused them to be eliminated. But they have raised the level of their game lately and I expect them to take this game very seriously. Brose is no longer a surprise as they have shown that they could perform at a high level constantly. I also expect a reaction from Real after a loss to Barcelona on Sunday. The thing about Reyes this season is that he had been playing much better at home than away. I think he should use his experience in rebounding and drawing fouls against Bamberg and have himself a very good game. I like Reyes in the opening round of the top 16.

This is one of the best ways to define the level of maturity of a wine. That is to say the taste and awareness in ones mouth is long-lasting or persistence. The flavors and texture, or the feel in the mouth persist a couple of minutes after drinking. This is a strong indicator that the wine has a good aging potential.
As wine ages, that persistence is increasingly shorter and flavors disappear with time. Still this is a good indicator if you are considering purchasing several bottles or a case to lay-down for awhile. Important as so many of California wines are being produced or released ready to drink and are likely not to improve with age and should be enjoyed in the next three to five years to really enjoy them.


Today, Engage Cuba and the US Agriculture Coalition for Cuba released a comprehensive report on the benefits that increased agriculture trade between the US and Cuba.
Engage Cuba and the US Agriculture Coalition for Cuba are the he two leading groups working to end the embargo on Cuba.
US agricultural exports to Cuba have declined in recent years due to a US law that prevents US exporters from extending private credit to Cuba. The attached report highlights agricultural products exported by states, including rice, poultry, soy, corn, and wheat that could experience significant growth should the embargo with the Island be lifted.
Alabama:Alabama is the number two US exporter of poultry, with broiler meat exports making up almost one-third of the state's total agricultural export value. As a top exporter, Alabama stands to gain from the increasing trend since 2000 in Cuba's poultry imports.
Indiana: Indianais the number three soybean exporter among US states, totaling more than $2 billion in FY2014—35% of the state's agricultural exports. Soybeans and soybean meal will be increasingly important for Cuba's agricultural imports as its livestock sector develops in the longer term.
Iowa: Iowa is the second largest exporter of US agricultural products in the country. With increases in tourism and large demand from Cubans for these products, Iowan agribusiness and its top exports of soybeans, soybean meal, and feed grains stands to gain millions in increased exports.
Missouri: Missouri's top export, soybeans, is in high demand in Cuba. The Island imports more than $250 million in soybean products, which could come from Missouri if the embargo were lifted.
North Dakota: North Dakota is the top exporter of US wheat, which was one of the top agricultural exports to Cuba prior to the embargo.
The first Engage Cuba agricultural report, released in March in conjunction with USACC, detailed the benefits of expanded agriculture trade for Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.

Monday DIT Science Talks for Transition Year.
This week the Transition Year students had the opportunity to attend Dublin Institute of Technology. The students attended two Lectures based in the biological sciences department. The first lecture dealt with the biochemistry of Human Beings and other species and followed on to relate this to the mythology surrounding Vampires. The students learned a bit about the science behind why some cadavers give the appearance of being well fed while having longer teeth and nails thus looking like a vampire. They also learned that certain creatures have different colour blood due to the compounds that bind oxygen in them. The second presentation dealt with the simple complexity that is DNA and showed how this is being used to save lives in both medicine and criminal forensics. This trip was beneficial for students interested in pursuing a career in Medicine, Biochemistry of forensics.
Monday saw our first year soccer team travel to Dublin to play Portmarnock Community School in the Leinster Cup. Unfortunately, despite playing their best our lads were beaten on the day and so their pursuit of the Leinster Cup was ended. Many thanks to their coach Ms. Rooney.
This Tuesday saw our Transition Year students attend Zeminar in the RDS with Ms. Rooney. Zeminar has been a yearly fixture in our TY calendar since it began and is classed as an extremely valuable one. Zeminar is the largest and most inclusive youth gathering ever seen in Ireland and is a social enterprise created to bring all those invested in the development and well-being of young people in Ireland to one place. It is a Wellbeing & Education movement for Generation Z that caters for all 15-20 year olds and their parents, teachers, mentors and coaches, irrespective of academic ability or socio-economic background. The students got to experience some of the best and most innovative organisations and they took part in workshops and fun activities, listened to influential speakers, came back to school with essential resources. Our students left the event with new knowledge to help them live happier, safer, and more fulfilling lives. Thanks to Ms. Rooney for organising and to Pauline for accompanying.
On Tuesday last our under 15 soccer team headed to Lamberton pitch to take on Colaiste Bride, Carnew as part of the Wicklow Wexford League. Arklow CBS proved the stronger side in winning with a comfortable 3-1 score line. Goal scorers were Ben Long with two goals and Jack Murray scoring one. Well done lads and keep up the great playing! Thanks to their coach Ms. Cummins.
This Friday saw 10 members of the active student council in the school attend the AGM of Comhairle na nÓG in the Parkview Hotel Newtown. Here the young voices of Wicklow county congregate and set goals for the year ahead. A special mention to Adam Shanley, Conor Nugent and Jamie Tobin who have been members of Comhairle na nÓG for the past year. Many thanks to Ms. Rooney for organising and to Ms.Stafford for accompanying them.

The temperatures are on their way up in Racine and so are the chances that you'll be flipping on your air conditioner to stay comfortable. An increase in use also means there is a greater chance for the need of AC repair.
Here are a few tips on what to watch for and signs that you might need to call in an expert to take a look at your air conditioner.
Air isn't getting cold – Possibly one of the most recognizable signs that your air conditioner isn't running right is if the air coming out is warm. If you've adjusted the thermostat and aren't seeing the results in your home, it's a good indication that you'll need someone to check it out. Keep in mind if it's an extremely hot day, it may take longer for your home to cool down.
Decrease in airflow – If the air coming out of your vents doesn't seem to be coming out as fast or strong as normal, there could be a problem. First, try to swap out your air filter and if you already have, it's time to call in the professionals at Keystone Heating & Air Conditioning Co., Inc.
When it's running effectively, try and pay attention to how your air conditioner typically sounds. Observe the airflow and how it sounds when running. This will be helpful and offer an understanding of what is appropriate behavior from your air conditioning system.
Scheduled maintenance also helps identify issues before your air conditioner is out-of-service. Set up an appointment with Keystone Heating & Air Conditioning Co., Inc this spring to proactively make sure your air conditioner is ready to go.
Before it gets too warm, test out your air conditioner to see how it runs so you can make any appropriate repairs. When it is hot out you don't want to have your indoor comfort compromised as a result of a broken air conditioner. If you see any signs that your air conditioner needs repair, give Keystone Heating & Air Conditioning Co., Inc a call at 262-358-9468 to set up an appointment.

Q: How to solve $x^{\prime\prime\prime} + 2x^{\prime\prime} - x = e^{-t}\cos(2t)$ using the operator method? I did
 $(D^3 + 2D - 1)x = e^{-t}\cos(2t) \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{D^3 + 2D - 1}e^{-t}\cos(2t) \Rightarrow x= \frac{e^{-t}}{(D-1)^3 + 2(D-1) - 1}\cos(2t) \Rightarrow$
$x =\frac{e^{-t}}{D^3-3D^2+3D-1+2D-2-1}\cos(2t) = \frac{e^{-t}}{D^3-3D^2+5D-4}\cos(2t)$, but I'm having trouble with $D^3-3D^2+5D-4$.
Am I doing something wrong?

A: $$(D^3 + 2D^2 - 1)x = e^{-t}\cos(2t)
$$
$$ \implies x_p = \frac{1}{D^3 + 2D^2 - 1}e^{-t}\cos(2t) $$
You forget the power D for the operator. You have $D^3$ and $D^2$.
$$\implies x_p =e^{-t} \frac{1}{(D-1)^2(D+1)  - 1}\cos(2t)$$
$$\implies x_p =e^{-t} \frac{1}{(-2D-3)(D+1)  - 1}\cos(2t)$$
$$ x_p =e^{-t} \frac{1}{(-5D+4)}\cos(2t)$$
$$ x_p =e^{-t} \frac{(5D+4)}{116}\cos(2t)$$
Finally:
$$ \boxed { x_p =e^{-t} \frac{(-5 \sin(2t)+2 \cos(2t))}{58}}$$

International students comprise a vast amount of college students across the United States. Yet many colleges and universities continue to neglect these bright and affluent students who have braved the seas the separate us, come from afar, and cross-culturally integrated to obtain a higher education on foreign soil.
The worst thing a college or university can do, especially when parents and families of their graduates are present at the commencement ceremony, is to incorrectly pronounce a students name.
Undoubtedly, fundraisers at colleges and universities take a great amount of time and endure some pain to agonize over the proper pronunciation of alumni when they seek a donation for their college or university. It should be no different when it comes to students graduating and celebrating a long 4 years full of academic and cross-cultural challenges.
Before being tongue-tied and shunning the importance of diversity among the student body of your college or university, solicit some help from your linguists and international students on campus. It will build bridges in your academic community, promote global awareness, and increase the value of multiculturalism for all.
UCF students booze & cruise at local college student watering holes. 13,000 alcohol-related crashes happen each year in Orange County. Florida is one of the deadliest states when it comes to DUI deaths – ranking third in the nation. UCF & college students nationwide are among the biggest offenders when they drink and drive.
It's no surprise insurance companies charge higher premiums to drivers under 25 years of age. Statistics don't lie. College students have a difficult time exercising self-control around booze and behind the wheel when they cruise. The end result – many lose when college students remain unregulated by their colleges, parents and law enforcement and are left on the loose.

Une calamité agricole est un dommage non assurable, d'importance exceptionnelle, dû à des variations anormales d'intensité d'un agent naturel, lorsque les moyens techniques de lutte préventive ou curative employés habituellement dans l'agriculture se sont révélés insuffisants ou inopérants.

En France, les calamités agricoles sont le plus souvent des sécheresses. Le dispositif d'indemnisation des calamités agricoles repose sur une procédure qui commence par la reconnaissance par les autorités publiques compétentes des dommages causés par un aléa climatique défavorable. Après enquête et expertise, le Comité national de la gestion des risques en agriculture rend un avis. Si celui-ci est favorable, le ministre chargé de l'agriculture reconnaît l'état de calamité agricole du territoire par un arrêté ministériel. Le Fonds national de gestion des risques en agriculture contribue à l'indemnisation des calamités agricoles. Le régime des calamités agricoles peut intervenir afin d'indemniser les agriculteurs qui ont subi soit une perte de récolte (baisse quantitative de production) soit une perte de fonds (destruction ou dégradation de l'outil de production).

L'indemnisation nécessite sur une procédure de déclaration de celui qui est victime du préjudice, soit sur support papier, soit par internet avec la téléprocédure Télécam.

Calamités de gel
Le gel de 2021 a été considéré comme pire que le gel de 1991 et le gouvernement a déclaré une calamité agricole.

Si tratta del figlio di Manco Capac II che succedette al padre sul trono di Vilcabamba al momento del suo assassinio avvenuto nel 1544. Causa la sua minore età, fu assistito nell'esercizio del potere da alcuni tutori e venne incoronato ufficialmente solo nel 1557, assumendo il nome di Manco Capac Pachacuti Yupanqui.

Trattative con gli spagnoli durante la sua minore età
La morte di Manco II era avvenuta all'inizio della guerra civile scatenata da Gonzalo Pizarro e gli Inca di Vilcabamba, privi del loro capo carismatico, non avevano potuto approfittare della divisione dei loro nemici.

Sayri Tupac era solo un bambino e la direzione del piccolo stato era stata assunta dai suoi tutori, tra cui spiccava Atoc Sopa. La politica degli Inca rimasti indipendenti perse, ben presto, ogni aggressività e si limitò a salvaguardare le usanze e le cerimonie dell'antico impero. Gli Spagnoli si avvidero di questa nuova postura, riscontrando la cessazione delle aggressioni ai coloni isolati, e sperarono di riuscire ad aver ragione, pacificamente, della resistenza degli ultimi Inca liberi.

Il nuovo viceré, Pedro de la Gasca, mise in atto delle iniziative diplomatiche per raggiungere lo scopo. Inviò dei messi con doni importanti e ricevette, in cambio, altrettanti doni, portati da sei dignitari. Le trattative potevano essere iniziate e La Gasca fece delle offerte allettanti: tenute ed edifici, nel Cuzco ed altrove, capaci di fornire una rendita considerevole, oltre, naturalmente, all'amnistia per tutti i delitti passati.
Le proposte erano soddisfacenti e Sayri Tupac, o meglio i suoi tutori, erano propensi ad accettare, ma chiedevano delle garanzie. Fu l'Inca Paullu ad offrirsi di accompagnare il nipote alla sua nuova residenza, ma quando era quasi giunto all'incontro si ammalò e dovette fare ritorno al Cuzco, dove la malattia si aggravò e lo condusse alla morte.

La sua scomparsa interruppe le trattative, ma non le speranze delle autorità.

Accordo con il viceré e ritorno al Cuzco
Nel 1552 la Corona Spagnola assunse l'iniziativa e il principe Filippo in persona scrisse una lettera a Sayri Tupac per assicurargli la completa immunità e giunse a riconoscere che suo padre Manco era stato duramente provocato dai Pizarro. Un cambio di viceré rese impossibile il recapito della missiva, ma questa venne riscritta, pari pari, e consegnata al nuovo rappresentante della Corona, il marchese di Cañete, perché se ne facesse il latore.

Diversi personaggi, che riscuotevano la fiducia degli Inca in esilio, si incaricarono di riallacciare le trattative. Tra questi vi era Doña Beatriz, una zia di Sayri Tupac, e suo figlio Juan Serra che la nobildonna aveva avuto dal conquistador Manso Serra di Leguizamo. Anche lo storico Juan de Betanzos, perfetto conoscitore del quechua partecipò ai parlamentari che furono lunghi e laboriosi per la diffidenza degli indigeni.

Si giunse infine ad un accordo e, il 7 ottobre 1557, Sayri Tupac lasciò Vilcabamba alla volta di Lima. Il giovane sovrano ricevette un'accoglienza fastosa e, quando riprese il cammino per il Cuzco, era in possesso dei titoli che gli garantivano le proprietà promesse. L'ingresso nella capitale dell'impero dei suoi antenati fu commovente per la felicità che gli indios, andati ad incontrarlo, dimostrarono. Per loro il Qhapaq Inca era tornato nella sua sede legittima.

Vita al Cuzco

Le proprietà che Sayri Tupac aveva ottenuto dagli Spagnoli erano vastissime e facevano di lui uno dei cittadini più ricchi del Perù. Inizialmente decise di risiedere nella capitale e prese alloggio nella casa di Doña Beatriz che si incaricò di inserirlo nella società indigena della città. Lo scopo della permanenza del giovane sovrano lontano dalle sue proprietà era però un altro: Sayri Tupac intendeva divenire cristiano, assieme alla sua giovane moglie. Un religioso, che parlava quechua, si incaricò di istruirli. Pochi mesi dopo il giovane sovrano e la sua consorte potevano ricevere il battesimo e si scelsero nuovi nomi cristiani.

Restava da compiere un'ultima formalità perché l'inserimento del sovrano inca nella società spagnola potesse dirsi completo. La sua consorte era anche sua sorella e la Chiesa non poteva celebrare il loro matrimonio senza una dispensa papale. La dispensa arrivò, su interessamento della stessa Corona spagnola, e la coppia poté essere unita in matrimonio con tutti i crismi della legalità.

La figlia nata da questa unione, Beatriz Clara, ricevette anch'essa il battesimo.

Morte di Sayri Tupac
Terminata la fase di acculturamento religioso, Sayri Tupac pensò bene di recarsi nei suoi possedimenti e, in special modo, nella valle di Yucay che era sempre stata il luogo di residenza preferito dai sovrani inca al tempo della loro grandezza.

Si diede perfino a costruire un palazzo degno del suo nome, ma nel 1561, improvvisamente, Sayri Tupac morì, proprio nella valle di Yucay, senza che la sua fine fosse stata in alcun modo prevista.

La stranezza della morte di un giovane poco più che ventenne, sano e in buona salute, fece subito pensare al veleno e si indagò su quelli che potevano aver interesse a provocare anzitempo la sua dipartita.
Il maggior indiziato era il curaca della valle di Yucay, Francisco Chilche. Costui non aveva certo visto di buon occhio l'assegnazione a Sayri Tupac della proprietà di cui era stato fino ad allora responsabile.  Se il dominus fosse stato uno spagnolo, il curaca avrebbe continuato ad amministrarla, ma un Inca lo avrebbe, prima o poi, esautorato. A ciò si aggiunga che Francisco Chilche era di razza cañari, un'etnia nemica acerrima degli Inca e alleata degli spagnoli fin dai primi giorni della conquista e il quadro può dirsi completo.

Il curaca fu arrestato e meticolose indagini vennero eseguite sul suo conto, ma non approdarono a nulla e, in capo ad un anno lo si dovette liberare.

Discendenza di Sayri Tupac
La morte di Sayri Tupac presentò un problema per gli spagnoli: innanzitutto avevano appreso che lo stato di Vilcabamba vi era dato un nuovo sovrano, nella persona di Titu Cusi Yupanqui, fratello di Sayri Tupac; pertanto, il pericolo rappresentato da quel lembo di terra autonoma sussisteva.
Sayri Tupac aveva poi ottenuto in dotazione proprietà vastissime ed ora queste facevano gola a molti, ma non si sapeva come sottrarle alla sua vedova ed alla sua piccola erede.

I più avveduti facevano presente che gli Inca rimasti ancora sulle montagne non si sarebbero mai convinti a trattare la pace se avessero constatato che le promesse fatte a Sayri Tupac non erano sopravvissute alla sua morte. Si pensò anche di offrire le proprietà a Titu Cusi Yupanqui, o meglio a suo figlio che avrebbe potuto sposare la figlia di Sayri Tupac con buona pace di tutti, ma la questione restò in sospeso.

In attesa di una soluzione si cominciò con il fare amministrare l'ingente patrimonio a dei gentiluomini fidati che avrebbero dovuto preservare la fortuna della piccola Beatriz Clara in attesa della sua maggiore età. Rinchiusa dapprima in convento, poi richiamata presso di sé dalla madre, Beatriz fu oggetto di squallidi tentativi di matrimonio da parte di sciagurati cavalieri spagnoli, i Maldonado, che giunsero, pur di raggiungere i loro scopi, a dichiarare di averla violentata all'età di nove anni. Dopo lunghe peripezie, la fanciulla andò in sposa ad un rappresentante della migliore nobiltà spagnola, Martín García de Loyola, il pronipote dell'omonimo fondatore della Compagnia di Gesù. La figlia di questa unione sarebbe stata nominata Marchesa di Santiago de Oropesa, titolo che la sua progenie avrebbe mantenuto fino al 1741, alla morte cioè dell'ultimo discendente, deceduto senza eredi.

Dr. Christina Puchalski Named One of the Top Visionaries in Hospice and Palliative Medicine
Press Release	Featured News
dr-puchalski (1).jpg
Christina Puchalski, MD, director of the George Washington University (GW) Institute for Spirituality and Health, professor of medicine at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and medical director of professional health hospice of Washington, DC, was named one of the 30 most influential leaders in hospice and palliative medicine.
In celebration of 30 years serving the profession, the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) asked its 5,000 members to nominate whom they think are the leaders – or visionaries – in the field. They then asked members to vote for the top 10 among the 142 nominated. Puchalski is one of 30 physicians, nurses, and researchers recognized by peers for the important role she plays in advancing the field.
"I am honored to be named a 'visionary' by my peers and am particularly honored to be named alongside two of my very first mentors: Dr. Joanne Lynn and Dr. Joan M. Teno," said Puchalski. "It is a tremendous privilege to care for people who are seriously ill. Accompanying others in the midst of their suffering by offering compassion is a sacred act and opens to moments of deep grace and gratitude. "
Puchalski is a pioneer and international leader in the movement to integrate spirituality into health care in clinical settings and medical education. As founder and director of the GW Institute for Spirituality and Health, she is recognized as a pioneer in raising the voice of the silent revolution in health care – fully integrating spirituality into care systems to provide holistic, compassionate care and giving voice to the spiritual or inner stories of patients, families, and clinicians, to a level of national and international dialogue and debate. Her scholarship focuses on palliative care, spirituality and health, and compassionate care as part of whole person health. She is recognized for her work in developing interdisciplinary educational curricula and innovative models of care.
Hospice and palliative medicine is the medical specialty that focuses on improving quality of life and relieving pain and other symptoms in seriously ill patients. Palliative care is provided to patients who are continuing to receive treatments to try to cure or control their disease, regardless of their prognosis. Hospice is a specific type of palliative care for patients whose life expectancy is six months or less. Hospice and palliative care also helps patients and families understand their treatment options and make decisions about their care, and provides information on spiritual and psychosocial services, support for family and caregivers and grief counseling.
"This program recognizes key individuals who have been critical in building and shaping our field over the past 30 years," noted Steve R. Smith, AAHPM CEO. "These individuals represent thousands of other healthcare professionals in this country who provide quality medical care and support for those living with serious illness -- each and every day."

  Recipe By: John Bilos - jbilos@labs-n.bbn.com

  The following appetizer is sure to be a crowd pleaser. I have never taken
  it anywhere without being asked for the recipe.

  Cup up pita bread into chip size triangles, separate and bake on a cookie
  sheet until crispy (approx 5 minutes).

  Combine all other ingredients and mash (a KitchenAid mixer works great).

  Bake in an uncovered casserole dish for approx 30 minutes @ 350 or until
  bubbly.

  Serve hot out of the oven and scoop up dip with pita bread. If you intend
  to take this to a party or are having friends over be prepared to recite
  this recipe a number of times. My wife and I bring xerox copies with us!
  John Bilos

  NOTES: I got this recipe off the internet five years ago and have made it
  many times. I made it to take to a party this past New Year's Eve (95). It
  was originally posted by John Bilos at Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. in
  Cambridge, MA. What he says is true. Someone asked for the recipe again on
  New Year's Eve.

  I create my own adaption of the recipe by adding some green chiles. The
  last time I made it, I used about 4 poblano chiles and 3 hot New Mexican
  chiles roasted and chopped. I personally think this is a delicious
  addition!

Liverpool Transfer Targets: 5 Ideal Suarez Partners
By O-Posts on November 20, 2011
Liverpool's biggest problem this season is their inabillity to score goals. With Luis Suarez doing his usual magic, Liverpool need a player to play alongside him, and be the one to make use of that magic to score goals. As Andy Carroll is struggling for form, Liverpool may be looking for a striker in January. Here is a list of 5 players Liverpool should consider buying:
1. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
The Dutch striker has been in deadly form this season, scoring 12 league goals for his club Schalke, and finishing as top scorer of the Euro Cup Qualifications with 12 goals in 8 matches for Oranje. The striker would be available for a reasonable price, and would probably be happy to move to a club of Liverpool's stature. The only problem is his age, as he is 28 years old.
2. Mario Gomez
Gomez is a player Liverpool have a long term interest in. Considering that he is in fantastic form, and that Bayern are in the Champions League, it will be hard to get him. It would probably take an Andy Carroll type fee for Bayern to let him go, but if Liverpool get him they will have a player that can, when in form, score goals for fun.
3. Lukas Podolski
Another German player that Liverpool have a long term interest in. He has outgrown his club Köln a long time ago, and it is a miracle no big club has snapped him up already. He has impressive on-field inteligence, is very creative and is also a proven goal-scorer. Would be available for a good price, and is the most likely target from this list.
4. Alexandre Pato
The young Brazilian is a fantastic prospect. He has fallen out from Allegri's plans due to injury and lack of form, but when fit, he is one of the deadliest strikers in the world. It is doubtfull whether he would want to join Liverpool, but if yes, then Kenny should definitely snap him up. The price would be a very high one, but FSG have proved that they are ready to spend big on young talent.
5. Leandro Damiao
Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly interested in the young Brazilian prodigy. Reports have suggested that he will be heading to Ukraine for €34 million, but these rumours have disappeared in recent days. The striker is a fantastic prospect, but the question is are FSG ready to spend a huge amount of money on a rather unknown and unproven player? The striker would be a big risk, but a risk that could pay off hugely.
Those are my suggestions, feel free to leave your own in the comments section.
let not just rellied on young star only bcus we are still in battle 2 champion leque, let de club go 4 experience player who can take us 2top 4 yet. After we hav succide we can go after young star's. Some one like tevez

Social Justice Hackathon Inspires Solutions to Foster Belonging, Inclusion in Independent Schools
Three St. Andrew's students who conceptualized, designed, and pitched solutions to support students identifying as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) at independent schools were awarded grants to turn their ideas into reality during HackBAC, an online social justice hackathon organized by the Black Alumni Collective.
Miles Hayter '24 was a member of the first-place team, which proposed SafeZone, an online well-being hub for BIPOC students. In addition to an anonymous chat function that connects students with BIPOC peers as well as counselors and mentors, the online hub would offer tools such as calming music and guided meditations curated for students. To fund the endeavor, students proposed collaborating with BIPOC artists and auctioning NFTs of their work.
His team, which included students from Colegio Merici (Mexico City, Mexico), Jesuit High School (Portland, Ore.), and St. Stephen's Episcopal School (Austin, Texas) will receive a $2,500 grant to launch SafeZone. The team was mentored by Humanities Teacher Drew Singleton '14.
"I literally wrote, 'This is why I do what I do,' when I was listening to you," panelist Rick Dugan, Head of School at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Jersey, said of the pitch. "The website that you have designed for People of Color to communicate safely with its focus on well-being moved us deeply. Please know that when you truly build this, folks will benefit, and you will create a safe space for us all."
Tinuke Alarapon '22 and Kieran Lamb '22 were members of the third-place team, which proposed the Independent School Student Union, a national student-led organization that would support BIPOC student leaders as they advocate for systemic change at their schools. The ISSU would be structured with regional boards and school-based chapters, and provide individual students the opportunity to attend conferences like the Student Diversity Leadership Conference if their school is unable to cover their travel or lodging expenses.
Their team, which included students from Colegio Merici, St. Stephen's, and Stuart Hall School (Staunton, Va.), will receive a $750 grant to launch the ISSU. The team was mentored by Chavonne Primus, Director of Client Services & Operations for The Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning.
"As I think about being an SDLC faculty member and knowing what students are looking for when they return to their schools, [they're] looking for that continued support and that space to continue to do that work and to have those allies," said panelist Rohan Arjun, Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid at Friends Select School in Philadelphia. "Because of the work you all have done, this is certainly a need."
HackBAC is organized annually by the Black Alumni Collective (BAC), an advocacy group formed by five Black St. Andrew's alumni. The theme of this year's HackBAC was "Creating More Racially Integrated and Equitable Experiences in Independent Schools that Promote Safety, Trust, Wellness, and Belonging."
During the three-day weekend competition, from January 14 to January 16, 40 students from across North America were organized into eight teams. Each team was assigned a track - Systemic Inclusion, Belonging and Trust, Well-Being, and Action - and was led by a mentor, who served as a facilitator and guided each group through the ideation process.
Each day of the hackathon began with a keynote address. Speakers included Dr. Liza Talusan, a scholar and practitioner in equity and inclusion; Dr. Rodney Glasgow, Head of School at Sandy Spring Friends School in Sandy Spring, Md.; and Ryan Harrison, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice at Delaware Valley Friends School in Paoli, Penn.
On the third day, students pitched their ideas to an esteemed panel of judges, who awarded monetary prizes intended to further develop and advance the winning solutions. Panelists included Arjun, Dugan, and Harrison, as well as Trina Gary, Founder and Executive Director of Independent Trust, a network that connects and engages independent school alumni of color.
Formed during the summer of 2020, the Black Alumni Collective endeavors to enrich the experience of Black students and alumni of the St. Andrew's community through fellowship, advocacy, and mentorship. HackBAC is organized in partnership with St. Andrew's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, the D!Lab, and The Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning.
