West Jordan - The students and staff at Copper Hills High School realize the importance of helping those in need in their community, especially at Christmas time. Together, they raised $25, 206.45 during the month of December and were able to provide 46 families with gifts for Christmas.
Throughout December, students and clubs accepted direct donations and sold items to collect money. Student body officers walked around with buckets and collected money, while other clubs had food stands at lunch time that sold a variety of treats and food carts.
After all the items are checked off the list for the families, the school uses the remaining funds to pay it forward somehow.


I'm looking for a decent quality saw with which to cut dovetails. Curious to here people's thoughts on japanese/western. I am looking at the Lee Valley western model for $35- can anyone speak to this saw?
Can't speak about the LV saw, although all the products I have bought from them are great. I have the LN DT saw. A little pricey, but I love how it cuts.
I can't speak directly to the LV saw, but with most dovetails saws that you buy these days, a good sharpening and reduction in set will be required before it works preperly. By working properly, I mean that it should not only cut well, but also track straight and true. The set has a lot to do with this. Too much set creates a kerf that allows the saw wiggle around, and thus veer off course making it difficult to saw a straight line. Most any of the saws on the market can be made into a reasonable saw after they are properly adjusted.
For me, the other criteria is aesthetics. I do not like the blocky shape and feel of the newer saws. The new-saw exceptions to this would be the Lie-Neilson (which I have) and the very similar Adria. Granted they are pricey, but they are ready to go right out of the box. Besides these, my preference is for older pre-war saws. If you look around, they can be had for $30 or less, and work as well as the L-N once sharpened and tuned.
Regarding type of saw, I prefer the western style as I feel llike I have better control. However...Japanese style saws can be had fairly cheaply, leave a very smooth cut, typically cut extremely well right out of the box, and may be easier for a beginner (???). If at all possible, I would suggest trying a few different ones , either at a friend's or your nearest Woodcraft or such, to see which one you like the best.
Got to like a guy who quotes JB.
I asked this same question on another forum a few months back. Most of the responces I got were that I should save up and buy a really good saw like the L-N or the Adria. That is the route I wound up going (some unanticipated overtime that I just had to spend). I hadn't heard of the Adria before but if a saw can be a work of art, the Adria is.
As far as low cost options go, the best option I was given was to contact Tom Law. If you haven't seen Tom's name before, he seems to be considered as pretty much the best saw sharpener out there. You could buy a less expensive saw and send it to him for sharpening, or better still he also buys old saws with good steel, sharpens them and sells them in the price range you are looking at.


The squat is one of the most primal and natural movements known to man (and woman) and we humans have been squatting since the beginning of our time. Unfortunately however, as technology advances and we become ever more sedentary, fewer and fewer people are able to perform the squat properly.
Before the great man that was Thomas Crapper popularised the toilet in the 19th century, people squatted several times a day without even thinking about it. Nowadays however, if you asked the average person to perform a full or deep squat, they'd probably end up on their back!
As an exercise, squatting is incredibly functional because there are elements of the squat pattern that are engrained in so many other daily activities. Getting into and out of the car for example, sitting and standing from a chair or even climbing the stairs all involve patterns of muscle recruitment that approximate the squat technique. If we become better at squatting therefore, these benefits are transferred and we also perform better when performing these activities. How many people do you see falling into a chair, or thrusting their bodyweight forward to stand up? These people are in desperate need of a squat programme!
The squat is a bilateral leg-dominant exercise that challenges the ability of the quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteals to control hip and knee flexion and extension simultaneously. When performed on a single leg however, the exercise is unilateral and as such requires considerably more stabilising strength to control the movement. Even though the exercise is leg-dominant, it is also effective for strengthening other bodily areas, particularly the core.
Squats can be performed in an almost endless number of ways and can also be integrated with many other exercises to make them harder, easier, or just for variety. Resistance can be generated from bodyweight (yours or somebody else's), a bar, dumbbell(s), stability ball, medicine ball, kettlebell(s), sandbell or any other form of external load. The resistance can be applied to the front, back, or side, changing the mechanical and muscular demands of the movement yet again.
The exercise can be performed slowly to develop controlled strength, or quickly to promote explosive power. Squats can even be combined with a jump at full extension, as is the case with many plyometric versions to maximise the power value of the movement. The overhead squat is the ultimate test of integrated strength, stability and mobility, which is why it is an essential component of the Functional Movement Screen (Cook, 2001).
When using squats as part of a wider-exercise programme, a range of techniques should be used in order to vary the load and prevent the onset of overuse injuries.
Bodyweight squats should always be used as a starting point for those who aren't used to squatting, or those who just aren't able to squat properly. Only when a pain free and healthy range of motion can be performed should external load be applied.
For those who have a history of back pain, especially when it is disc-related, back squats should be avoided because axial loading (applying weight on the axial skeleton) is generally contraindicated and will only serve to cause more pain.
Some suggest that the squat shouldn't be performed past 90 degrees, or beyond the point at which the thighs become parallel to the ground. The primary justification for this advice is to reduce the risk of knee injury and pain, particularly that associated with the cruciate ligaments. There is however a considerable amount of evidence to conclude that this advice is at best erroneous, and many of those who do perform deep squats have a much greater stability of the knee joint than those who do not.
Go forth and squat… you won't look back!

(7-18-17) Next time you go to a Ft. Recovery (Ohio) basketball game you will see the new 'refurbished' floor that was just completed this past week. Jason Now of Majestic Flooring in Celina did his handy-work and gave the floor an entirely new look that will impress you when you walk in the door. Indian fans will most likely tell you that they love the look of this floor and prefer a wood floorover the 'rubber' floor that they once had many years ago. This ends a two-year project that started last summer with a new paint job for the ceiling and walls, a new press row, State recognition boards, wall protection boarding and work on the ceilings.
EDITOR'S NOTE: One of Jason Now's finest works came when he did a parquet floor at the old Parkway High School gym. When the new school building was built, the State of Ohio, as they did in all projects like this, said the building must be torn down…the new parquet floor and all…good news it was saved and is now the gym floor at Praise Point in Willshire.
The work done to refurbish a floor is something a school system needs to do on a regular basis.
full sanding and refinishing the average price is $3.00 per sq. ft.
includes labor, finish material, artwork, logo and game line painting.
Yearly gym floor re-coats the standard price is $.75 cents per sq. ft. for two coats of a premium gym floor finish.
So it seems it is important for a school system to be pro-active in keeping this facility in a shape acceptable for use.
Kevin Price, Regional Sales Manager for the Central Region of Robbins Sports Surfaces (Cincinnati, Ohio) , gives some insight to what it takes to do the job on a project like this.
1. How often should you sand & refinish a gym floor? A gym floor should be sanded and refinished every 10 years, however, this is simply a guideline. If there is chipping or flaking of finish, it might be time for a sanding. There are also other signs that a professional flooring contractor can look for in determining if the floor needs to be sanded.
2. How long does it take to sand & refinish a floor? A typical sand and refinish will take 3 to 4 weeks, this includes cure time for the finish. This, of course, depends on the amount of striping. The more striping, the longer the process. In addition, the type of finished used (oil vs. water) may affect the duration.
3. What noticeable signs are there that signifies that a floor is ready for a sand & refinish? If the existing finish is cracking or peeling it might be time. Another sign is if the floor is ambering. From a professional standpoint, ambering should not be used as a sign to determine if the floor needs to be sanded. The key sign is if the floor is chipping or flaking.
4. What is the range of cost for a sand & refinish? A good range for a sand and refinish is $2.00 – $3.00/per square foot, and will vary based on size of floor, location, paint/stain detail, etc… The types of finish, court graphics, and time of year also plays a role in the total cost. *Note: The cost range should be used for budgeting purposes only.
5. What is the daily maintenance of a floor after it has been sanded & refinished? The best course of action is to dust-mop the floor as many times daily as possible. Make sure that you do not use a dust-mop treatment as they often will have some type of oil. If you have a spill, you may need to mop it up but we would strongly encourage you to dry the floor after you mop it. Remember, water and wood do not mix. There are also devices that are made to help "clean" a floor that have been very effective. If there are scuff marks, you may remove them simply by rubbing your shoe over the scuff mark or by rubbing a tennis ball over the scuff mark. For best results, refer to your finish manufacturer maintenance instructions.
6. Can you use a scrubber-vac on a wood floor? Scrubber vacs should not be used on a wood floor, in fact, the use of the scrubber vac on a newly installed floor will void the warranty.
7. Can you use any hardwood floor contractor to refinish the floor? Or should you choose one that specializes in sports flooring? Why? You should only hire an MFMA accredited sports flooring contractor to perform a sand/stripe/refinish to your floor. The reason why is because the flooring contractor is trained, tested and certified in the processes and procedures set forth by the finish manufacturer for a sand/stripe/refinish. After all, this process takes time and money, if the gymnasium is closed for longer than expected, then the athletic department or the owner are going to be scrambling to finds places for the teams to practice and play their games, often times having to pay to use a different facility.
8. How long must you wait to get back on the gym floor after the floor has been sanded and refinished? The floor should cure for a minimum of 72 hours if using water-based finish and up to seven (7) days if using oil-modified finish. The oil-modified finish will take longer to cure based on temperature and humidity conditions in the room, generally, the more humid the room, the longer the cure time.
My name is Lucas the owner of Lima's flooring company LLC and I would like to know if your company are needing a gym sander in Kansas City are, I serve kansas and Missouri!

If Player A is selling food for 2.05 as the lowest price, and Player B is selling for 2.1?
2.05*110%=2.25 So shouldn't player B's food show up on the sale block if you click the list arrow?
10% of the lowest sellers appear on the market. So if there are 10 people selling food, only 1 will appear, and that one will be the one who sell food for the lowest price. If there are 11 seller, then 2 person that has the lowest price of all will be displayed.

Young environmental hero: Sonja Michaluk
By Submitted Content
By Michele S. Byers
The motto "Think globally, act locally" has been used for years to encourage local action on environmental problems.
Sonja Michaluk, 17, has been thinking globally and acting locally since she was a 6-year-old monitoring streams for water quality in her hometown of Hopewell Township.
And the Carnegie Mellon University student went on to act globally as well – and for that she was just named a winner of the 2021 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.
The Barron Prize annually honors 25 outstanding young leaders who have made a significant positive impact on people, their communities and the environment.
Sonja is passionate about clean water and created a novel way to evaluate water quality in rivers and streams by combining technologies from genetics, ecology and statistics.
She believes her new method has the potential to become the global standard for assessing the health of waterways. This, in turn, could help clean water advocates stop projects that threaten waterways, wildlife and human health.
"I grew up splashing in streams, with all these animals, and I want my children to grow up splashing in streams. I want them to see all the green frogs, the bullfrogs, the garter snakes and the milk snakes," she said.
Sonja first began advocating for clean water when she was 11 and the Leidy gas pipeline expansion was proposed near her home.
At public hearings, many local residents spoke about damage to property values. Some spoke of the positive impacts of the pipeline on the local economy. Sonja came with graphs and charts about stream health in the Cherry Brook and how wildlife would be put at risk.
"I was told that in a room full of opinions, I was the only one who came with data. That has always resonated with me," she said.
The pipeline expansion ultimately went ahead, but with some safeguards to protect stream health.
What was Sonja's new innovation?
A common method of assessing stream health is to identify the tiny aquatic organisms that live in it. Some, like the larvae of certain insects, are extremely sensitive to pollution.
If these species are present in a stream, it is an indicator the water is very clean. On the other hand, if only pollution-tolerant species are found, it shows that water quality is impaired.
But it is not easy to identify organisms in a stream – especially for volunteer citizen scientists. Many species look alike and only highly trained experts can tell the difference.
Sonja developed a way to use "DNA barcoding" to sequence genes and easily determine the exact species of organisms in the stream.
"It could completely change how you classify a stream," she said.
Sonja believes insects known as Chironomids – more commonly known as non-biting midges, "the less disliked cousin of the mosquito" – is the best insect to serve as a barometer of stream health.
There are 10,000 Chironomid species found worldwide, in every type of habitat, and they have great variation in their sensitivity to pollution.
Thanks to Sonja's efforts, the nonprofit Watershed Institute in Pennington – where she got her earliest training in bioassessments – now has a lab capable of DNA barcoding on aquatic organisms.
She has also written a "playbook" with standard operating procedures to help other nonprofit organizations set up their own genetic labs, run tests and fundraise to help cover costs.
"This gives organizations the power to collect more accurate data," she explains.
It will also help to better leverage the power of citizen science, since expert identification skills are no longer needed.
"There is also the potential to get more youths involved, once the pandemic is over," Sonja said.
The Barron Prize was founded in 2001 by author T.A. Barron and named for his mother, Gloria Barron. Since then, the prize has honored more than 500 young people who demonstrate qualities like courage, compassion and perseverance as they work to help their communities or protect the planet.
"Nothing is more inspiring than stories about heroic people who have truly made a difference to the world," Barron said. "And we need our heroes today more than ever. Not celebrities, but heroes; people whose character can inspire us all. That is the purpose of the Barron Prize: to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so their stories will inspire others."
Sonja inspires with her passion for wildlife and clean water. In addition to winning a Barron Prize, Sonja was also recognized as a "Wetlands Hero" earlier this year by the Environmental Law Institute, and in 2019 she was awarded a Stockholm Junior Water Prize for water-related research.
Sonja gives public presentations, often accompanied by her pet bullfrog, Tapioca. She makes the case that frogs and humans are not really very different: "The bullfrog wants clean water, you want clean water. The bullfrog needs to eat, you need to eat."

Electrification 2018: Enthusiasm and Opportunity
Category: Cross-Sector, Environment, Features, Power Delivery & Utilization
By Steve Hoffman
At EPRI's Electrification 2018 conference, FirstEnergy staff baked cookies in their exhibit booth to demonstrate the benefits of an efficient electric convection oven manufactured in Cleveland. With an enticing aroma wafting through the conference hall, attendees could not resist, eating more than 3,000 chocolate chunk, peanut butter, red velvet chocolate chip, and macadamia nut cookies over the three-day expo. "People told us it was the best exhibit booth 'swag' ever!" said Randy Frame, FirstEnergy's director for emerging technologies programs. "And what better way to demonstrate the fast, clean, and uniform baking advantages that electric foodservice equipment has to offer for our customers."
Enthusiasm for the cookies mirrored the enthusiasm for the event—the first-ever international conference focused on efficient electrification. Many of the 1,830 attendees expressed excitement for electrification and the related opportunities for utilities, their customers, and society. "For decades, electrically-driven end-use equipment has consistently delivered comfort, convenience, and energy savings for our customers," said Steve Briggs, FirstEnergy advisor for retail innovation technologies. "This conference demonstrated that there are many new electric technologies that are cleaner and more cost-effective—providing even greater benefits for our customers."
There was a sense that the event was not just a conference, but the beginning of a new chapter for the electric power industry. "This is one of the most exciting times in any industry," said Paula Gold-Williams, president and CEO of CPS Energy. Expanding on this sentiment in his opening keynote, Edison International President and CEO Pedro Pizarro said, "This is the right time for us to come together and figure out how to respond to this crucial moment in the history of our industry, and of society in general."
Electrification 2018 packed a lot into four days. FirstEnergy's electric oven was just one of scores of electric technologies exhibited and discussed at the Long Beach Convention Center. Besides the plenary sessions and exhibit hall, the event included five pre-conference workshops, seven conference tracks, 42 breakout sessions, 225 speakers, 28 sponsors, and 32 additional supporting organizations. Participants discussed technologies, customer adoption, policy and regulatory considerations, grid modernization, environmental benefits, and more.
"The constituency of attendees was unique, exceptionally valuable, and not duplicated anywhere," said Anda Ray, EPRI senior vice president, external relations and technical resources. "We had utilities, vendors, utility customers, regulators, academia, government, technology providers, associations, media, and more from around the world—all in one place." Rob Chapman, vice president of EPRI's Energy and Environment Sector, put it this way: "Electrification is a team sport. It will require utilities, regulators, and other industry stakeholders to collaborate and think differently about how to leverage a cleaner electric supply across all sectors of our economy."

"As a complement to the presentations, the 115 exhibiters were very important," explains EPRI's Tom Reddoch, a 50-year veteran of the industry. "People need to see and touch things, and the exhibits provided that." Transportation was a big part of this, including this electric vehicle presented by Pacific Gas & Electric.
Local Roots provided tours of an operational indoor vertical farm inside a tractor-trailer. The company builds modular indoor farms at retail distribution centers and offers its customers low upfront costs in exchange for a commitment to purchase pesticide/herbicide-free lettuce for an agreed-upon period.
The exhibit hall featured more than 30 startups that are part of the Incubatenergy Initiative.

Electric Transportation: More than Cars
Electric transportation is a rapidly growing industry worldwide. Reflecting on past false starts, General Motors Vice President of Global Strategy Michael Ableson said that he is often asked whether electric cars "are really going to happen this time." Ableson's answer for GM is an emphatic "yes." While a million electric cars will soon be on U.S. roads, the conference showed that electrifying transportation is about much more than cars.
"When an electric school bus pulls up, all you would hear are the squeals of the children inside," said Nate Baguio, vice president of sales at the Lion Electric Company, which exhibited a conventional electric school bus. Because the vehicle is so quiet, Lion has included in its design speakers under the front grill that play a song to alert children the bus is approaching. "At some schools, the best-behaved child on the bus gets to pick the song of the month," said Baguio. Drivers can set the bus to pre-cool in the summer and pre-heat in the winter, and children benefit from elimination of toxic diesel fumes.
According to a recent report from a group of environmental organizations, replacing the 480,000 primarily diesel school buses in the United States with electric models would reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 5.3 million tons. Electric school buses are in full operation in several states, including California, Massachusetts, and Minnesota.
Buildings as Grid Assets
Buildings offer significant electrification opportunities. Describing a roadmap for building decarbonization at the pre-conference workshop on Building Decarbonization and Electrification, Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) Executive Director Susan Coakley emphasized the need to treat buildings as grid assets. "In cold climates like the Northeast, under-insulated buildings can't hold their heat," she said. "We need to be aware of that and improve efficiency." Thermal improvements in the building envelope along with electric heat pumps and other grid-interactive appliances can help utilities manage dynamic building loads more effectively during extreme outdoor temperatures, Coakley added.
NEEP has developed a nine-step plan to accelerate long-term market transformation to efficient electrification in the northeastern United States. Key to this is linking climate stabilization goals with policies and programs that improve the energy performance of existing homes and buildings. The goal is to increase grid flexibility, while saving money, creating jobs, and increasing occupant health, safety, and comfort.
According to NEEP, one electric technology that can support building electrification is the cold-climate air-source heat pump, which can provide high-performance heating at ambient temperatures near or below 5°F along with highly efficient cooling.
Coakley asked attendees: "Would you buy a house—arguably the largest purchase you'll ever make—without knowing its energy performance?" The U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings initiative has a multi-state effort to provide more transparency through "home energy scores." According to Coakley, customer surveys have shown that such scores—whether high or low—can increase home sale prices and lease rates. "The transparency is valuable to home buyers and lessees," she said.
Problem Solving for Industrial Customers
As a complimentary service to its industrial customers, Alabama Power's Technology Applications Center shares expertise related to various electric technologies, such as infrared heating, induction heating, and powder coating. "Specialists from our Technology Applications Center work closely with our industrial customers to assist in solving problems," said Cheryl McFarland, the utility's commercial and industrial sales and technical support manager, during a workshop on lean manufacturing through electrification. "We conduct process and product tests using efficient electric technologies as alternatives to other fuel types." She described case studies on solutions for weld defects, plaster drying, powder coating, veneer drying, and mop/broom handle production.
In one case study, a material coating company used a natural gas-fired convection oven to cure clear-coat paint in 20 minutes. Alabama Power specialists demonstrated that electric ultraviolet curing could complete the same job in about 7 seconds. By implementing the new system along with an electric infrared dryer, the company increased production, improved product quality, and increased energy efficiency.
The Customer Is King
Some utility customers don't adopt new technologies that offer clear benefits. Because widespread electrification relies on customer adoption, understanding customer behavior is essential. Dr. Jennifer Weeks, an associate at management consulting firm BEworks, shared an anecdote in which a utility mailed a flyer to its commercial customers offering incentives for efficiency upgrades with significant potential savings. Only 34% took advantage of the offer.
As part of an experiment to better understand this outcome, BEworks mailed one group of customers a postcard describing the upgrades (an "increased accessibility" approach), mailed a second group a formal letter (an "increased credibility" approach), and mailed a control group the original flyer. Relative to the flyer, the postcard had a 50% lower response, while the letter had an 81% higher response. These results indicate that utilities can improve customer participation in their programs using behavioral approaches.
What's Next for Electrification
In the Tuesday afternoon plenary session, Duke Energy Executive Vice President Doug Esamann announced that his company would host the next EPRI electrification conference in Charlotte, April 6–9, 2020.
"Our vision was to assemble every part of the industry and have a discussion about electrification," said EPRI CEO Mike Howard. "I think we achieved that. The next step is for us to work collaboratively to help realize the vision."
"The economy-wide benefits of using electricity to replace fossil fuel end-uses include increased energy efficiency, reduced carbon dioxide emissions, and improved air quality," said Chapman. "Tapping the opportunities that efficient electrification presents to society and consumers will require increased awareness of these benefits. EPRI looks forward to continuing work with all electric sector stakeholders to support this dialogue through fact-based research."
Environmental Benefits of Electrification
Electrification's environmental benefits flow from all customer sectors and many electric technologies. An air quality panel at the conference presented the results of several studies showing the importance of electrification in lowering local emissions and decarbonization. An energy-water nexus session presented various viewpoints on this set of complex interactions.
Edison International President and CEO Pedro Pizarro cited a long list of studies and reports that link electrification and decarbonization, including EPRI's National Electrification Assessment, Portland General Electric's vision for meeting Oregon's environmental goals, National Grid's 80×50 Pathway, the California Energy Commission's Decarbonization Strategy, and Edison's Clean Power and Electrification Pathway. "Everyone is starting to align," Pizarro observed.
Electrification 2018 Participants: Inspired and Enthusiastic
"Electrification is going to be important to us all, not only today but in the future. This is our opportunity, and being here means being part of the future."
Michael Kurzeja, Senior Manager, Exelon
"Clearly, our customers are thinking differently. Clearly, many of our regulators are thinking differently. We have to do the same thing."
Stan Connally, Executive Vice President of Operations, Southern Company
"We need to lean in, try things, iterate, and try again. We need to commit to the idea that if it's not for all, it's not for us."

Celebrating Star Wars #18
Go behind the masks of the Emperor's elite in Crimson Empire!
by Chris Baker
We all know that the first Star Wars film changed the face of pop culture forever when it hit theaters 40 years ago today—but it's not just the movie that's celebrating that milestone in 2017. Star Wars comics arrived with force in 1977, and hundreds of issues later, they're more popular now than ever.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, we're looking back at our 40 favorite moments from the history of comics from a galaxy far, far away—one day at a time.
Star Wars: Crimson Empire (1997) #1
Added to Marvel Unlimited: April 15, 2015
Writer: Mike Richardson, Randy Stradley
Cover Artist: Dave Dorman
Until 1997, all Star Wars comics in some way heavily featured characters you grew to love from the films, from Luke, Leia, and Han to Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt—even Wedge Antilles. For CRIMSON EMPIRE, writers Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley dared to expand the Star Wars universe in a way no other series had to this point—with no main characters you had ever heard of. The result stands up today as perhaps the most "cult classic" Star Wars series ever published.
Every Star Wars fan remembers the striking red uniform of the Emperor's Royal Guard, as seen in "Return of the Jedi." But that was all we really knew about them at this point. What is happening underneath those masks? How did they earn their spot among Palpatine's elite? Are they even men in there? Though all of the action occurs years after "Return of the Jedi," we get our first answers to those questions—including flashbacks, one featuring an incredible Darth Vader moment— as the remnants of the Empire fight their own internal battles for political control.
If you're not intimidated by a book starring names like Carnor Jax, Kir Kanos, and Mirith Sinn, CRIMSON EMPIRE offers a welcome and unique take on the Star Wars universe. There's even an official Handbook to guide through the cast of characters.

WICID Methods Lab
About WICID Methods Lab
We work together with our partners to research and produce critical knowledge exchange and teaching materials. We also work together to produce inventive indicators and development measures to advance rigorous research on our themes. The Lab, therefore, work with both quantitative and qualitative methods and engage with methodological debates in pursuance of rigorous and interdisciplinary research.
We pursue collaborations with scholars in the UK and in particular our global partners to produce working papers and academic publications on our collaborative research that speak directly to policy-making and review.
What we research
WML researches how we learn and therefore how to study development. Fundamentally, we live in a complex world; complexity defines it. We need ways of seeing and studying that are innovative enough to understand and address these complexities.
We also live in a deeply unequal and often violent world. Histories of violence, colonialism and change have shaped societies and processes of knowledge production, leading to forms of epistemic privilege as well as marginalisation.
We need challenging, complex and compound pedagogies, methods and methodologies to understand and communicate this complexity.
How we collaborate
WICID does not treat knowledge production as an individual enterprise; it has a collaborative approach towards research and learning. Ideas such as co-production of knowledge and interdisciplinary work are now prominent in academic research and teaching and policy pronouncements in the field of international development. What is less clear is how these complex ideas are conceptualised, operationalised and communicated.
WML will develop strategies of researching and learning alongside our partners in ways that are easily communicable and interdisciplinary.
The value in critical pedagogy
Critical pedagogy builds on the work of education theorists who critiqued and fundamentally challenged the imposed forms of teaching and learning under colonial regimes of violence. Critical pedagogies challenge rigid 'teacher' 'learner' distinctions and foster joint exploration and knowledge generation.
Importantly, critical pedagogies also encourage us all to interrogate the contexts in which we teach, learn and collaborate to produce knowledge and thus to be self-reflective in our work practices.
Critical pedagogy looks for alternative ways of seeing and understanding the development work, its structures of injustice and the politics of knowledge within.
The Lab helps to develop interdisciplinary work by going beyond using one or other methodology; rather we will attempt to integrate different approaches. Evidence, data analysis and affective and effective arguments all come together to shift ground. The choice of methods, we believe, needs to be based on pragmatic considerations; methodological considerations shouldn't trump the nature of our inquiry.
Concept building is an important area of work for WICID – we support the construction of concepts and their critical evaluation. We pay attention to the relation between concepts and measures, as well as the relationship between concepts and case studies and the trade-off between validity and operationalization.
More and more data is now available. However, there are specific gaps. WICID will address how to manage and access this data, how to find the relevant information and techniques that are the most relevant to address specific questions. It will also address the issue of data gaps – why these gaps not others? What does this tell us about the inequalities we are enmeshed in but often do not recognise.
WICID also supports the development of not only new, more innovative indicators but more accurate and tailored ones for assessing development problems. In order to do this, we need to think about scale, mapping and sampling – all-important to understand how the complex issues around us might be translated into specific measures that could help us address practical development problems.
WICID researchers communicate their research design, their methodologies and their findings to each other and to a wider audience of members, policy-makers, and other researchers in clear, straightforward and transparent ways. Without such communication, new ways of seeing are not possible; we need to get out of boxes of specialisms and address the urgent development problems in the most creative, honest and methodologically innovative ways.
Critical pedagogy and methodological innovation need honesty that can bring researchers together, educate policy-makers and the general public and generate new questions for research. The Lab does exactly this – in collaborative, rigorous and innovative ways.

Influenza Virus Fact Sheet
The influenza virus is responsible for the respiratory illness known as influenza or "flu" which infects cells within the nose, throat and lungs. The influenza virus is part of a family of RNA viruses known as the orthomyxoviridae, and there are three different types of this virus known as A, B and C. All three types can infect humans, but only types A and B are known to cause seasonal epidemics.
The influenza virus is most commonly spread person to person by droplets made when people cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can find their way to the mouth or nose of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Infection can also occur by a person touching a surface or object that contains the virus and then touching his/her own mouth or nose.
The influenza virus is highly contagious and can spread to others up to six feet away. An infected person can even infect others one day before any sign of symptoms and up to seven days after becoming sick. Children infected with the influenza virus may pass on the virus seven days or longer after the initial infection.
The symptoms of influenza can cause mild to severe illness and at times, can lead to death. The following symptoms usually come on suddenly and all or some of the symptoms may be present. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea. Most people are able to recover from influenza in a few days or up to two weeks depending on the person's health.
Other health complications can make an influenza infection very serious for example people with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have the flu. Also pneumonia, bronchitis and sinus and ear infections are all examples of complications from the flu.
The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. Everyone that is six months of age or older is recommended to get vaccinated against the flu each year. People who are at a higher risk for having additional health complications as a result of influenza include children who are less than five years of age, pregnant women, people with certain medical conditions like asthma, diabetes (type 1 and 2), heart and lung disease and people 65 years and older.
Other prevention methods include washing hands frequently with soap and water or using an alcohol based hand rub. Try to avoid close contact with people who are sick and try to stay home when you are ill. Also try not to share daily items with those who are sick, such as linens, eating utensils and dishes.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that receiving the seasonal flu vaccine each year is the first and most important step against the influenza virus. If you do happen to fall ill due to the influenza virus, the best thing to do is to stay home and avoid contact with other people, except to get medical care. Most people with the flu will have mild illness and do not need to receive medical care or antiviral drugs. People that are at high risk of serious illness should contact a health professional. Antiviral drugs can be prescribed by a health care professional and are used for prevention or treatment of the influenza viruses.
The influenza viruses are constantly changing, which is one of the reasons why a yearly flu vaccine is recommended. Every year a new influenza vaccine is developed with three different strains of the influenza virus. Researchers at the CDC try to predict which strains will be the most common for the upcoming flu season and create a vaccine against those viruses. They adapt the vaccine based on how well the previous manufactured vaccine reacts to the current viruses and any new virus types. The virus information is then presented to an advisory committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and World Health Organization (WHO), which then decide which three viruses, two subtypes of influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus, will go into the vaccines for upcoming flu season. Influenza type C causes only mild illness in humans and does not cause epidemics or pandemics and therefore is not present in the influenza vaccine.
The influenza vaccine is available via a needle or nasal spray. The "flu shot" contains an inactivated or killed virus and is usually given to people in the arm. The nasal spray vaccine version is made with live but weakened viruses. Both types of the vaccine do not cause influenza sickness.
Another reason that a yearly influenza vaccine update is recommended is because a person's immune protection from the vaccination declines over time. The decline in a person's immune protection against the influenza virus may be influenced by several factors including a person's age, the antigen used in the vaccine, and the person's overall health (such as any immune complications). This decline in defense may leave some people more susceptible to the virus and can pose a threat one year after the initial vaccination. For the best overall protection against the influenza viruses, annual vaccination is recommended.

According to the flash estimate, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) annual rate was 1.0% in May 2018 (the final value in April was 0.4%). The estimated annual core inflation rate, which excludes energy and unprocessed food products components, was 0.6% (0.2% in the previous month). The acceleration of the CPI reflects the dissipation of the base effect mentioned in the previous CPI press release, related to the Easter period which occurred in April 2017, as well as the recent increase in fuel prices.
The estimated CPI monthly rate was 0.4% (in April, the final value was 0.7%), while the CPI 12-month average rate was 1.0% (1.1% in the previous month).
The Portuguese Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) annual rate of change was 1.4% (the final value for April was 0.3%).
The April CPI final results will be released on June 12th, 2018.

Wild Onion dinners are social gatherings held in the spring by various Native American tribes in Oklahoma, especially southeastern tribes. The meals focus on the spring appearance of wild onion, a food that was familiar to most of the tribes east of the Mississippi.

"Wild onion" refers to several plant species but most commonly Allium vineale or Allium canadense. Allium tricoccum or ramps are a customary food in the eastern United States but not Oklahoma. Families often gather wild onions together from February to April. The plants can be found even in urban areas. Typically the wild onions are fried with scrambled eggs. Poke salad can be added.

Pork, frybread, and corn bread are popular side dishes. The typical dessert is grape dumplings, historically made from the juice of indigenous grapes, commonly called "possum grapes". Today the dumplings are often made from frozen grape juice and biscuit mix.

Many of these feasts are held by cultural clubs, Indian churches, and stompgrounds. They can include gospel sings or prayers in tribal languages. Stickball games are also common, a game that inspired the French adaptation of lacrosse.

A 1932 cookbook published by the Indian Women's Club of Tulsa suggests substituting scallions with one clove of garlic for wild onions, to be fried in bacon grease. The Bartlesville Indian Women's Club has held an annual wild onion festival for over half a century.

Accountant/Client Privilege
BY EDWARD J. SCHNEE
In 1998, Congress added section 7525 to the Internal Revenue Code, creating an accountant/client privilege. Like the privilege that already exists between attorneys and their clients, it extends to tax advice but not tax return preparation. A recent decision by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals examined the scope of this privilege.
Taxpayers Randolph and Karin Lenz, and their corporation, KCS Industries, were under IRS investigation. They hired Richard Fredrick, an attorney and accountant, to represent them. The IRS issued summonses to Fredrick asking him to turn over hundreds of documents. Fredrick refused to do so. The district court ruled that some of the documents were not protected by privilege. He appealed the decision.
Result. For the IRS. This case presented a number of different privilege-related issues. The first question the Seventh Circuit addressed was whether numerical information was subject to privilege. The court held that, although rare, it was possible for such information to be privileged. It used as examples an attorney's estimate of damages or the amount a client stole. Based on these examples, it appears few, if any, of an accountant's numerical workpapers will be eligible for privilege.
The second issue the court considered concerned dual-purpose documents—those an attorney or accountant creates for use in preparing a client's tax return, as well as for use in litigation or providing tax advice. The Seventh Circuit concluded that such dual-purpose documents are not privileged.
The Seventh Circuit also considered documents an attorney or accountant creates in connection with an IRS audit. The court said these documents could be privileged in certain situations. If the documents are used to determine the client's tax liability or the accuracy of the filed return, they are not privileged. If the documents discuss statutory interpretations or case law, they are privileged. As indicated above, if the attorney or accountant uses them for both purposes, they are subject to IRS summons.
Although the case itself involved issues related to attorney/client privilege, the Seventh Circuit also addressed the scope of the new accountant/client privilege. The court said the latter privilege covers only communications between the client and his or her accountant, not the accountant's work product. If other courts accept the Seventh Circuit's conclusions, section 7525 will provide a very limited benefit to taxpayers and accountants.

Deep Transition is an intensive workshop for those who understand that Peak Everything is already upon us, who possess a fierce and determined kind of optimism, and who feel called by this situation to some sort of service. In other words, Deep Transition is for those who recognize that our collective predicament is very serious and urgent but also have an abiding sense of what is possible, a vision of a future that flies in the face of civilization's apparent entropic collapse—and a burning sense that somehow we bear within us the very seeds of that future. Not merely an introduction to the Transition movement but advanced work, Deep Transition is advanced work, designed to empower and support individuals who now find themselves called to an extraordinary level of service and contribution in response to humanity's collective predicament and to the profound vulnerabilities of our communities. Presented by Michael Brownlee and Lynette Marie Hanthorn, co-founders of Transition Colorado.
We all find ourselves in an excruciating position. We have awakened in a magnificent and unimaginably beautiful world that is now undergoing its most devastating crisis since the dinosaurs became extinct. Worse, we learn that the source of this global devastation is the manner and magnitude in which our kind has been living on the planet.
Meanwhile, human civilization itself seems to be beginning to unravel. We can see that humanity is on the brink of collapse, possibly of extinction, possibly of even undermining the prospects for all future life on the Earth. Charting the ever-worsening trajectory of these trends can be disheartening. It's an unfathomable situation we face, and it sometimes drives us to our knees weeping. Mysteriously, though, we seem somehow incapable of succumbing to acquiescence or despair, for we know we are seeing all this and feeling all this for a reason. Purpose lurks behind the scenes.
Surely each one of us has been implicated and culpable in the situation, but there is more that blooms in our awareness these days, something far more unsettling. It is as if each of us grappling with these realizations has been sent here at precisely this moment in history because we bear some gift, something unique and necessary. Whether this will remain an unopened package remains to be seen—and the world awaits the outcome.
Meanwhile, we are caught between two worlds—a cloying and dysfunctional world that perhaps most of us never truly felt a part of, and a new world looming on the horizon that is by turns threatening and exhilarating. Somehow we find ourselves drawn to simultaneously hospice the old and midwife the new. This is often terribly disorienting.
Ironically, in the face of all this, we find ourselves called to be leaders or organizers or catalysts or communicators or facilitators. Others seem to look to us because they sense we see something, perhaps know something—when mostly we just feel. We respond to this calling reluctantly, hesitatingly, often incredulous that it might just somehow come down to us after all.
But there is little choice. We know unequivocally we have much work to do, and time is growing short. Never mind that we do not know if it is already too late. In these dark moments of a waning era, much depends on our response and our ability to find and co-create with others who are similarly called in whatever arena has drawn us together.
For there is a future that longs to be born in us and through us, a future that began in the initial Flaring Forth some 13.7 billion years ago, a future that has been steadily unfolding and accelerating right through to this day. We bear the seeds of that future within us. Where will we plant ourselves?
Perhaps, as Peter Senge suggests, if we can find our place we will find our purpose. Deep Transition is about finding our place, and delivering our as yet unnamed gift in our place—hopefully in time.
What the Deep Transition workshop is about
Awakening to the full extent of our collective predicament
Understanding the underlying causes of our predicament
Grasping the larger evolutionary context of our time, our planet, and our species
Exploring the emergent process by which evolution unfolds
Discovering our role as evolutionary catalysts, with a focus on healing and regeneration
Connecting with tools and processes that empower us as evolutionary catalysts
Incorporating a profound sense of the sacred into our work
Engaging with a learning community of fellow evolutionary catalysts
Supporting each other in our particular calling
The workshop will include ample time for discussion, self-reflection, contemplation, and connection with nature.

Mass. Reports 3,000 COVID Cases Over Past 30 Hours Noting 'Technological Issue'
The 3,224 new confirmed coronavirus cases Wednesday and an additional 53 deaths reported by the Massachusetts Department of Health was a result of an interruption of data, authorities said
By Staff Reports	• Published November 25, 2020 • Updated on November 25, 2020 at 7:04 pm
Massachusetts reported more than 3,000 new confirmed coronavirus cases Wednesday, with the Massachusetts Department of Health citing a "technological issue" that extended the window beyond one full day.
The 3,224 new confirmed cases and 53 new deaths reflected case counts from up to a 30-hour period, DPH said on their website.
There have now been 10,372 confirmed deaths and 207,284 cases, according to DPH. Another 232 deaths are considered probably linked to COVID-19.
The percentage of coronavirus tests coming back positive, on average, remains at 3%, according to the report.
The number of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 has decreased to 942. Of that number, 208 were listed as being in intensive care units and 108 are intubated, according to DPH.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh on Wednesday afternoon said the city has seen a decrease in the number of daily coronavirus cases for the first time in five weeks.
As of Tuesday, there were 25,962 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Boston and 903 deaths, Walsh said.
The mayor attributed the decline in cases to Gov. Charlie Baker's stay-at-home advisory and restaurant curfew.
"We're going in the right direction," Walsh said. "We just need to continue to see that trend."
Due to Thanksgiving, health officials said they will not publish Thursday's daily coronavirus numbers and instead publish both the Thursday and the weekly report on Friday.

Q: How can i call servlet on button click aem i have servlet
   @Component(service={Servlet.class},
        property={"sling.servlet.methods=get",
                "sling.servlet.resourceTypes=/content/wknd-events"})
public class MainServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet
{
    @Reference
    DemoInterfaceImpl demoInterface;

    protected void doPost(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
        demoInterface.redirectUser(request,response);
    }
}

demoInterface
    @Component(
        service= IDemoInterface.class,
        immediate = true)
public class DemoInterfaceImpl implements IDemoInterface {
    @Override
    public void redirectUser(final SlingHttpServletRequest req,
                             final SlingHttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException {

        resp.sendRedirect("/content/we-retail/us/en.html");
    }
}

and i have my component
<a href="/content/wknd-events.html">
<button> go</button>
</a>

i want to redirect to /content/we-retail/us/en.html on button click but it doesn't work. I still go to /content/wknd-events.html. I don't understand where is my mistake

A: Your basic mistake is  here   "sling.servlet.resourceTypes=/content/wknd-events"})
The resourceType in Sling is the resourceType property set on the resources/nodes. So, if you register a servlet based on resourceType, it will get invoked only if you have the component or resource of that type. In your case , the servlet is registered with a content path as resourceType . Instead of sling.servlet.resourceTypes ; you can try sling.servlet.paths (e.g "sling.servlet.paths=/bin/test") and register your servlet to a path. Instead of giving a href attribute in the <a> tag, write an AJAX call on the click event of the button and give the servlet path as the URL.
$.ajax({
     type: 'GET',
     url:'/bin/test',
     success: function(msg){
       <!-- some code -->
     }
 });
