If there was little doubt that the budget signed by PSOE and Podemos was an assault on the taxpayer and an economic nonsense, the presentation of the budget proved it even more. It is a budget completely devoid of credibility.
Optimistic macro picture: The government announces a macroeconomic picture that no one in their right mind can believe. It confirms the slowdown and lowers the growth estimates but gives extremely optimistic estimates of gross capital formation (+ 4.4%) and exports (+ 3.4%, growth greater than 2018 in the midst of a slowdown in global trade) and at the same time assumes a very modest increase in imports that is inconsistent with the previously mentioned gross capital formation figure… This is done to artificially make the foreign sector contribution to GDP add instead of subtracting. No one seriously believes a macroeconomic picture with a GDP deflator of 1.8%.
Inflated revenue estimates: If we look at the tax revenues, the budgets show that the estimates of new revenues are completely inflated. Spain has never been able to meet its budgetary consolidation objectives by increasing expenses and taxes, and this budget is no different.
. The government intends to collect with a new digital tax more than twice the amount estimated by the government three months ago and almost three times more than what the United Kingdom collects, with a much larger market than Spain.
. If we look at the tax on financial transactions, the government inflates the estimates to more than three times the amount collected by other countries that implemented this tax. Remember that Sweden collected ten times less than estimated and had to withdraw it.
. Corporate Taxes. The government assumes an increase in revenues of 1.77 billion above the already record figure of 2018 despite the evidence of the economic slowdown and business profit estimated by consensus (+ 5%) show an evident deceleration in 2019.
. The increase in income tax on very high incomes is clearly inflated as well. An increase of 10% in the marginal tax rate on income of salaries of more than 150,000 euros a year would decrease revenues between 500 million and 2,500 million euros, according to studies from the Complutense University.
. As for other revenues, they are based, again, on completely fictitious estimates, including 500 million euros for international anti-fraud policies that nobody has seen and 218 million for limiting the payment in cash.
This string of inflated estimates leads us to a more realistic of a maximum of 1,800 million euros of additional revenue for an increase in expenses of 16,000 million euros.
. The increase in expenses, in fact, was also manipulated. The increase in spending by all public administrations in 2019 is 16,000 million, which leads to a deficit that already started at 27 billion euros, and to which we have to add a more than likely additional imbalance of close to 3 billion that could reach up to 11 billion euros. History in Spain shows that the average error in new tax revenue estimates in periods of growth is 5.8 billion euros per year and up to 12 billion in times of slowdown.
This is not social. Taking us to a debt crisis is anti-social.
Going to the IMF, it asks to deepen in the labor reform to end structural unemployment and credible measures for the 2019 budget.
That's the IMF's first diplomatic warning. In Spain, since 1998, fiscal consolidation has never been achieved via revenue measures and increasing expenses.
The IMF is aware, in addition, that Spain does not have fiscal space to increase deficits and alerts that increasing the deficit and spending in a growth period will lead to harder and more severe cuts when the economic cycle changes.
Budgetary buffers, which were exhausted during the crisis, must be rebuilt, and that is not done by increasing spending and taxes, because the IMF and any of us know that the estimated revenues will not be met because they are calculated in a political and fallacious way, while the expenses will likely soar above the budget.
It is almost impossible for Spain to achieve its deficit goals increasing spending, because in order to do so, the government assumes a rise in tax revenues that has not happened even in growth periods.
The IMF warns that governments always resort to raising taxes to cover excessive spending ("the adjustment tool preferred by the government"), and warn that these could cause distortions and have a negative impact on growth. To avoid this, "a careful design of fiscal measures is key".
Empirical studies from more than 200 countries show that "a tax increase of 1% of GDP in periods of fiscal consolidation leads to a 1% drop in GDP in eight quarters" (IMF, Dabla-Norris, Lima).
Linking pension costs to the CPI is another error that they warn about. Because it is deeply antisocial, endangering the entire system and future pensions for not including other essential factors when valuing pensions, such as sustainability and the population pyramid. It would increase pension spending between 3 and 4 points of GDP to 2050 and send Spain to a debt crisis.
The report recalls the importance of "re-launching the structural fiscal adjustment and preserving the spirit of labor market reforms," that is, the opposite of what the current socialist government intends to impose.
Those who criticize the IMF for being neoliberal will be surprised because all it shows in this report is common sense: Increase imbalances and expenses in times of economic boom will lead us to take much tougher measures and further cuts when unemployment rises and we enter in recession.
Spain does not need to spend more. Increasing spending, deficits and taxes now is not a social policy, but an antisocial one, because it means bigger and worse cuts in the future.
Increasing taxes is counterproductive when they were already raised during the crisis and all the regions increased their tax components. In addition, it weakens Spain's tax bases in the face of a slowdown.
Increasing expenses is completely unnecessary when the 2018 budgets already included a 4% generalized increases in the main items. Increasing spending today is multiplying the cuts later.
Spain is facing a moderate slowdown, which should be a unique opportunity to attract more investment and more jobs from all over the world, not announcing measures that make the Spanish economy more fragile, that weaken tax bases and raises the risk of debt and deficits with it, just as interest rates rise.
None of the current governments' measures have anything to do with a social policy. Putting the country at risk of another debt crisis with science fiction revenue estimates and increased political spending is not social. Itanti-socialial.

Lottery Post: A man who cheated Uk National Lottery
Last Updated on: January 8, 2023 by Aakash Srivastava
Lottery Post: A con artist who cheated the UK National Lottery by creating a winning ticket has been given a longer deadline to refund the money.
At a court hearing in January, Edward Putman, 56, a convicted rapist, was given three months to pay back £939,782.44 (US $1,149,405.61). After failing to meet his commitments, he should have been sentenced to an extra six years in jail, on top of the nine years he was already serving.
According to a document released under the Freedom of Information Act, "the entire confiscation order sum of £939,782.44 is still unpaid."
Court Give 3 Month Extension to Return Money
Sentenced to 9 Month in Prison
Knibbs took their life
The National Lottery
National Lottery Post Rules and Laws
On Friday, Putman was given a three-month extension to return the money. After the deadline expired, prosecutors said they would explore "a range of possibilities," according to the Mirror.
In 2009, Putman scammed the UK National Lottery by using a forged ticket made by Camelot fraud detection staffer, Giles Knibbs. Putman contacted Camelot a few days before the ticket was set to expire, reporting he was experiencing "palpitations."
Despite the fact that the crumpled lottery ticket's security measures, including the barcode, were removed from the bottom half of the ticket, the National Lottery paid it out.
Knibbs' lie was revealed when he killed himself and left letters blaming Putman.
Knibbs' pal told the Mirror, "It's disgusting that Putman hasn't paid up – there's no way he should get away with it." "I'm afraid that once he's out, he'll have access to even more millions."
Putman is rumoured to own a house worth £700,000 (US $856,138.50). Putman may have paid Knibbs a total of £280,000 (US $342,455) up front, and then lesser instalments of £50,000 (US $61,153) subsequently.
The conman was sentenced to nine years in prison in the 1990s for raping a teenager. He was seen going on spending sprees with his girlfriend, Lita Stephens, and acquiring a collection of luxury cars after his release and acceptance of the unfair prize. Friends claimed the couple had a travel pension, that they travelled first-class across the world, and that they owned homes in Florida and Malta (Lottery Post).
He kept out of the spotlight and out of the public eye until 2012, when he illegally claimed £13,000 in housing and income support. As a result of his miscalculation, he was sentenced to nine months in prison.
He said at his sentencing that he was a "real winner," but in 2015, when Knibbs wrecked one of Putman's cars, it became clear that Knibbs was upset about not getting paid his "fair share." Putman called the cops, and Knibbs was arrested.
He took their life a few months later, but not before informing his friends about the lottery ruse he and his former colleague had devised. Putman was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2019, telling him: "Regardless of the exact monetary split you and Mr. Knibbs had agreed on, you did not provide Mr. Knibbs the split he felt he was promised." "You blasted the credibility of the national lottery."
Despite earning a £2.5 million award, Putman was forced to pay just under a million pounds. The Gambling Commission fined Camelot £3 million (US $3.67 million) for paying out the false claim.
The National Lottery is a state-run national lottery in the United Kingdom that was created in 1994. The Gambling Commission regulates it, and it is now operated by Camelot Group, to whom the licence was given in 1994, 2001, and 2007, although it will be operated by Allwyn Entertainment Ltd starting in 2024.
The prizes are tax-free and given in one lump sum (with the exception of the Set For Life, which is paid over a period of time). Around 53% of all money spent on National Lottery games goes to the prize fund, with the remaining 25% going to "good causes" as defined by Parliament (though some of this is considered by some to be a form of "stealth tax" levied to support the National Lottery Community Fund, a fund constituted to support public spending). 4% goes to the UK government in the form of lottery duty, 4% goes to retailers in the form of commission, and a total of 5% goes to operator Camelot, with 4% covering running costs and 1% profit.
ensuring that the interests of all players are protected
ensuring the Lottery is run with due propriety
that returns to good causes are maximised.

The Military Veteran Peer Network is an affiliation of Service Members, Veterans and Family Members dedicated to establish camaraderie and trust with each other, identifying and vetting community resources and, collectively, contributing to the communities where we live.
Trust, Camaraderie, Hope
The Center for Life Resources is proud to bring a new program for veterans in the Central Texas area. The program includes peer to peer support groups that are facilitated by veterans who can relate to issues that other veterans may have encountered in their combat experience. The groups and services will be open to all veterans from any war era.
With the strength and support from our peers we can and will succeed. Through your strength somebody can be helped and through another's strength you may be helped. We can all be successful if we use our resources that are at our disposal.
The Military Veteran Peer Network connects veterans and their families to local, state and national resources through an active group of veteran peers.
As a member you can meet other vets, get help and support, find resources.
Program Summary:
Over there you had your battle buddies to your left and your right, you were trained, you had your mission and you knew what you had to do. Now you are home and a lot has changed. It's increasingly hard to adjust back to "the world" and it's difficult to talk about what you've been through. A lot of people have good intentions, but they just don't get where you are coming from. You need to ask for help, but where? Consider services led by a veteran with combat experience who can relate to the unique experiences of veterans.
The groups will be facilitated by veterans trained in the "In the Zone" curriculum. Veterans from any branch, whether active duty, guard, reserves or retired, are invited to attend. Family members are welcome as well.
An opportunity for soldiers to share their experience with other soldiers.
This support group is available at no cost.

Mount Eerie - Distortion
In 2017, Mount Eerie (Phil Elverum) released A Crow Looked At Me, a powerful high-context record about the sudden death of his wife, musician and artist Genevieve Castreé. This week, Mount Eerie returns with "Distortion," a sprawling ten-minute 800-word epic about life, death and cosmic terror. Introduced by long peals of fuzz and static, the song gives in to unrelenting waves of nylon string guitar as it traces young adulthood as a wandering musician in post-9/11 America, the first childhood encounter with loss, before culminating by the side of Genevieve's death bed. There's even a Jack Kerouac pun. The full six-track album, "Now Only," releases March 16.

Van William - Before I Found You
Van William's songwriting is instantly accessible — upbeat, catchy and clever. "Before I Found You" opens up with an energetic acoustic guitar rhythm and a driven verse, and that electricity only builds as the song goes on. William's voice is powerful and bright; it's one that begs you to listen longer. His voice paired with his ability to create perfectly placed peaks and valleys within his songs creates a sound worth coming back to. This track is one that'll make both diehard alternative and pop fans equally happy.

Nation of Language - On Division Street
Some music was made for dancing. Some music was made for reminiscing. Some music was made for both. Nation of Language's music harkens back to a time none of its members, nor I, were alive for. A time when synthesizers and bands like New Order took the world by storm. With "On Division St," lead singer Ian Devaney also reflects on his childhood and what inspired him to form this new synthpop project. "A song so sweet / back from when I was born," he cries as he thinks about the tunes that shaped his musical tastes. The song has an enchanting way of floating within its own double-time beat. Just like a memory, drifting in and out the unstoppable march of time.

Gingerlys - Elsewhere
"Elsewhere," by Brooklyn-based Gingerlys entrances us in the best way. There's a certain effervescence to the interplay between the atmospheric vocals and the driving, spacy rhythm section hits. Therein lies the childlike optimism also found in longing for something just slightly out of reach. The lyric has a careful whimsy that reminds us of our last tragic, unrequited crush: fun, but slightly forlorn. This song, the single (and track four) off of the Gingerlys' self-titled album was released in November under Babe City and Topshelf Records.
— Kaycie Satterfield on January 18, 2018
Slow Caves - Poser
2017 was fantastic year for Slow Caves. The Colorado surf/indie rock quartet, consisting of two pairs of brothers, toured all over the country playing nearly 100 shows. And with the release of their new song, "Poser," they're out to do it again. They've started the new year off with an honest yet cheery declaration: "I'm a poser, I'm so free!" Getting a little attention in the world of independent music comes with an insurmountable list of requirements (anyone else having nostalgia fatigue, too?). Slow Caves hangs on to the older influences and images they love ("Acid wash is the classic posh") and if that means they're not cool, then consider us posers, as well. Make sure to check out the band on tour starting at the end of January.
Sjowgren - Stubborn Forces
Sjowgren, the band whose Scandinavian-esque name and music belies its Bay Area origins, has an enigmatic and insular online presence. Since releasing Demos in 2015, the band's members remain anonymous. Likely, the sleight of hand means to plop your ears and attention fully into the music. So let's get to it: rhythmically throbbing and vocally delicate, "Stubborn Forces" struts evolving production choices, but reinforces the simple fact that this band exudes incredibly tender pop refrains.

Haley Heynderickx - Untitled God Song
Portland folk singer-songwriter Haley Heynderickx has a keen attention to detail and the ability to absolutely captivate with her melodies. "Untitled God Song" is comedic and charming as she grapples with her relationship to God, who is in this case, presented as a woman with a knockoff Coach bag and "big hips and big lips." Though the song is loaded with a ton of questions and uncertainty, it is still so strangely comforting, prompting us to see the infinite in things that once seemed ordinary. Heynderickx sings, "my web is still spinning / you can't see it yet," as she weaves her own web around us, making everything feel slightly more settled in its place. Look out for her album I Need To Start A Garden out on 3/2.

Holy Now - Feel It All
Swedish indie pop band, Holy Now, ushered in the year with new single "Feel It All." With a sense of nostalgic euphoria, this song is a joyful plea for ease and mindfulness. Keep an eye out for their new album coming out later this year!

hunter & wolfe - All The Vultures
hunter & wolfe's "All The Vultures" is the indie rock anthem you need to hear. The opening track off of the Brooklyn-based duo's newly released record, Late Then Never, "All The Vultures" places you somewhere between some seriously emotional chord progressions and Maffei's silky smooth vocals — a pretty good pocket of space to exist in, if you ask me. It confronts the discontentment we have with ourselves from time to time, but also validates that no one's perfect, all within a tightly wrapped three minute package.

Helena Deland - There Are A Thousand
Singer-songwriter Helena Deland from Montreal creates sweet, sweet melodies. "There Are a Thousand" is just one of them, her latest since her 2016 EP, Drawing Room. Deland's voice is light and airy, reminiscent of hazy day dreams. She brings this easygoing attitude to "There Are a Thousand," giving serenity to any overcast day.

Stef Chura - Speeding Ticket
Stef Chura's debut album Messes was arguably the greatest hidden gem of 2017, and we are so excited for it to resurface this February via Saddle Creek. "Speeding Ticket" shows off Chura's 90s-alternative influences which are not only heard in this song but all over her debut album. There's no doubt that you should have your eye on this Michigan native indie rocker in the coming months.


Rice and beans might not seem like a weight-loss meal, but it is actually very filling--thanks to fiber in the rice and protein in the beans--while being low in calories. Each of these recipes is spiked with the best spices for your dosha.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place the sweet potatoes, half the oil, the cumin, half the salt, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne, in a large bowl. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread the sweet potatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet, and bake 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the beans, rice, water, and remaining salt. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and cook 40 to 45 minutes, or until the rice and beans are tender. Stir in red pepper, vinegar, hot sauce, oregano, and black pepper. Stir in the sweet potatoes, and serve immediately.


Roy Keane was sent of for the tenth time in his career on 15 September 2001. In a match in St James Park against Newcastle United, Manchester United had been 3-1 behind. Goals from Ryan Giggs and Juan Sebastian Veron levelled the score before Alan Shearer grabbed a late goal to make the score 4-3 to Newcastle.
Even though it was still relatively early in the season the signs were not positive for Manchester United. Team results and performances had been poor. This would have been enough to depress Keane in any event but the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson had announced that this would be his last season as manager of Manchester United had upset Keane.
The only man that Keane would ever listen to in football was about to retire. There was pall hanging over the United squad and Keane was convinced that the players had become apathetic. This was probably the closest thing to hell on earth for Keane. While he hated being involved in the Republic of Ireland set up he could limit his exposure by, choosing the matches to turn up for, by turning up late for matches, rooming on his own, and avoiding any unnecessary contact with the management and players.
With United none of this was an option. Playing for United was his day-job. There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Unless he quit football.
After his red card at Newcastle that's exactly what he was determined to do. Give it all up. In what is perhaps one of the most honest passages in his autobiography Keane describes his thoughts as he travelled home to United on the team bus to Manchester.
"...grab him by the throat." As Keane brazenly stated in his video, As I See It, "... the worst thing is, I pushed him. If you're going to get sent off you might as well punch him properly because you're going to get the same punishment. You might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb...it was just a push, ridiculous."
Perhaps, as with other unfortunate incidents during his career it was what was going on in the background that was the real issue. The red card at Newcastle was just a symptom. More than likely it was the malaise that he perceived permeated Manchester United at time. A malaise brought about by the forthcoming retirement of Alex Ferguson.
As with other occasions throughout his career he bottled up his feelings inside. Rather than dealing with them in a rational and adult fashion he used the soccer pitch to vent his emotions.
As is patently obvious Keane did not quit football at the time. In his autobiography following persistent entreaties by his wife and Alex Ferguson he decided to change his mind.
"I did it for Alex Ferguson. He'd stood by me through everything; quitting now would be a slap in the face for him, the last thing he needed when the club was struggling."[Page 239].

Ein Gelber Zwerg oder auch Hauptreihenstern der Spektralklasse G ist ein Stern der Spektralklasse G und der Leuchtkraftklasse V. Ein Beispiel für einen gelben Zwerg stellt die Sonne dar.
Die gelben Zwerge befinden sich ungefähr in der Mitte des Hertzsprung-Russell-Diagramms. Der Name Gelber Zwerg leitet sich ab von der relativ geringen Größe dieser Sterne (im Vergleich z. B. zu Roten Riesen) und der gelblichen Farbe.

Eigenschaften

Gelbe Zwerge weisen mit Massen von 0,8 bis 1,1 Sonnenmassen Oberflächentemperaturen von etwa 5300 K bis 6000 K auf. Die meisten der Gelben Zwergsterne gehören der Sternpopulation I an.
In jeder Sekunde fusioniert die Sonne ungefähr 600 Mio. Tonnen Wasserstoff zu Helium, wobei in etwa 4 Mio. Tonnen Materie in andere Energieformen umgewandelt werden.

Spektrale Standardsterne

Der revidierte Yerkes Atlas (Johnson & Morgan 1953) listet 11 gelbe Zwergsterne als Standard, wobei im Laufe der Zeit einige auf der Liste entfernt wurden.
Die Anker des MK-Systems bilden folgende Sterne:
 Asterion (G0V)
 die Sonne (G2V)
 Kappa1 Ceti (G5V)
 61 Ursae Majoris (G8V)
Andere fügen dieser Liste HD 115043 (G1V) und 16 Cygni B (G3V) hinzu. Die Wahl von G4V, G6V, G7V und G9V Standardsternen ist weniger eindeutig.

Entwicklung

Ein gelber Zwerg verweilt während seiner Existenz ca. 10 Mrd. Jahre in der Hauptreihe. Es wird angenommen, dass sich alle Gelben Zwerge im weiteren Verlauf ihrer Existenz zu einem Roten Riesen entwickeln, wobei es nicht zu einer Supernova kommt. Schließlich kollabiert der Rote Riese zu einem Weißen Zwerg.

Antique Clear Cut Crystal Depression Glass Pitcher
This is a stunning vintage clear cut crystal depression glass pitcher.
It has amazing deep cut detail of large and small starbursts in a vertical pattern.
The edges have a soft scalloped edge and the clear glass allows it to fit into any style or decor for every season!
There are no chips or cracks and it measures 8 1/4" x 7 1/4" opening with a 3 1/2" base
Saying times were tough during the Great Depression is nothing less than an understatement. Most Americans that didn't lose their jobs were often forced to take pay cuts. Learning to live on little or nothing was the way of life for many families for the decade beginning in 1929. Today we recognize many items used in the home during the 1930s as collectibles, including Depression glass.
To those who look beyond the surface and partake in the challenges and triumphs offered, Depression glass is more than just another collection.
It provides an intriguing, interesting hobby rich with history, and it brightens the home along with the spirit just as it did back in the day.
From the late-20's through the early '40s, manufacturers such as Federal Glass, MacBeth-Evans, and Hocking Glass brought a little cheer into some very dreary days by manufacturing the product we now know as Depression glass. This mass-produced molded glassware was of relatively poor quality -- often exhibiting air bubbles, heavy mold marks, and other flaws in the glass -- yet it came in beautiful colors and patterns to suit every taste.
More than twenty manufacturers made more than 100 patterns, and entire dinner sets were made in some patterns. Common colors are clear (crystal), pink, pale blue, green, and amber. Less common colors include yellow (canary), ultramarine, jadeite (opaque pale green), delphite (opaque pale blue), cobalt blue, red (ruby & royal ruby), black, amethyst, monax, and white (milk glass).
The most popular colors with collectors today are pink in varying hues (some are very light in color, while others have an orange tint to the pink), cobalt blue, and green. Depression glass was also made in amber, iridescent, opaque white known as Monax, and several other colors as well. Some of the most popular patterns buyers seek today are Cameo, Mayfair, American Sweetheart, Princess and Royal Lace.
Even the pattern names alluded to better times and a longing for the glamorous lifestyles of the 1920s.
Depression glass was popular and affordable when it was new. The dime store, where the thrifty homemaker could find everything from toiletries to household goods, was a common source for this inexpensive purchase.
At a time when a loaf of bread would set you back about a nickel, frugal shoppers could also buy a piece of Depression glass for around the same price. In fact, there's a fantastic photograph included in The Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass by Gene Florence (now out of print but available via used booksellers) showing a Woolworth's window display advertising an Old Colony pattern sherbet dish and under plate "complete" for 10 cents.
Depression glass also made its way into American homes through the issuance of premiums. Sellers or manufacturers would offer a free gift with the purchase of a certain dollar amount of goods or a specific product, and penny-pinching ladies took full advantage of these freebies.
Glass was plucked from an oatmeal box one week, then from a detergent box the next. Sometimes gas stations would throw in a punch bowl and matching set of cups with an oil change. Movie theaters got in on the action offering a piece of glass with a ticket to a Saturday matinee. You might even hear old timers refer to some of these pieces as "oatmeal glass" due to their origin.


This question is a great conversation starter because there is more than one answer and depending on the student's age and grade there will be different expectations about the answer. For example, 9 does not belong as it is the only single digit, 16 is the only even number, and 43 is not a square number. If you study it a bit longer there are other differences, for example 9 is the only number that doesn't add up to 7 (6+1 = 6, 2+5 =7, 4+3 =7). This exercise demonstrates that math is not just about arithmetic rules but about patterns, reasoning, problem solving, and communicating the solutions. Math is a fundamental skill that we all need.
Students in Ontario are not doing well in math. Results from Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) for the past 5 years have shown very limited improvement in student results in math testing, and in some tests declines in scores. The Ministry of Education has responded by announcing a provincial renewed math strategy. The strategy includes making a significant investment in Mathematics, including teacher training, instructional supports and by requiring 60 minutes of math instruction every day in elementary schools, Policy/Program 160 – Protected Time for Daily Mathematics Instruction, Grades 1 to 8 (PPM 160).
There is significant evidence that parent engagement can improve outcomes for students. Numerous studies have shown that when parents who are engaged, academic achievement and student behaviour improves and graduation and employment prospects are enhanced. This means that parents have a key role in supporting success in math.
One of the challenges is that many parents do not feel competent in math and are unsure how to help. In fact, failure in math is socially acceptable and many of us say, "Oh, I am not good in math" or "I hated math at school." Some parents struggled with math when they were at school or are concerned that they don't understand the math curriculum and how it is taught. These fears and attitudes can be a barrier to parents helping their child.
If kids are going to be prepared for the careers of tomorrow, learning mathematics is essential. Math forms a critical foundation for work in construction, music, medicine, technology and research careers. Math is also part of our daily lives. Money management and understanding interest rates are important to all of us and math is part of many of our activities such as cooking, driving, and physical fitness goals.
The mathematics curriculum is highly reliant on students' ability to use and manipulate items such as paper and pencil, calculators, or three-dimensional geometric models. Children with disabilities that affect their ability to manipulate objects (cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, specific hand/arm conditions, etc.) and who therefore find it difficult or impossible to use such manipulables are clearly at an academic disadvantage.
Build on students' preferred learning styles when explaining mathematical concepts, by exploiting different media −stories, drawings, models, computer simulations, animations, etc.
I totally agree with it. Its really an important post for parents. They should learn this.

Committee recommends new funding formula model
Clark Corbin 11/26/2018
After nearly three years of work, the public school funding formula interim committee wrapped up its assignment Monday and formally recommended the Legislature re-write Idaho's school funding formula.
While the committee has met for the final time, hard work remains. It's now up to the 2019 Legislature to decide how Idaho will pay for schools, and whether and how to update the formula that disperses about $1.8 billion in general fund spending to school districts and charters this year.
Before adjourning Monday, the funding formula committee took two important steps:
Speaker Scott Bedke
It accepted the fourth draft of a potential new school funding formula model from the Education Commission of the States and agreed to recommend that draft "positively" to the Legislature.
The lawmaker pushing for a new model was House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley — sending a clear message that the rewrite is a 2019 legislative priority from the highest-ranking member of the House.
What would change?
The main difference between Idaho's existing funding formula and the new proposal is how schools would be funded. The current model sends money to schools based on a complicated attendance-based formula built around support units, a measurement that is similar to a classroom. The new proposal would send money to districts based on student enrollment, with additional funding "weights" applied based on the type of students served and the size of the school.
"What we have here is a very powerful tool," Bedke said. "Anyone who has been engaged here can see how adaptive this is. it has enough dials available to the (education) committees to morph our policy over time to get into this brave new world by funding (our schools) by the student and not by the support unit."
Compare and explore data on Idaho public schools »
Rep. Wendy Horman, R-Idaho Falls, said the change is important because it simplifies funding and adds transparency to the process. The proposed new formula would be based around a per-pupil funding amount, now proposed at $4,287. If lawmakers sign the change into law, Horman said local school officials would be better able to plan and understand funding. All they would have to do is plug in their student enrollment, multiply that by $4,287 and factor in demographics, such as the number of at-risk students or the size of a school.
The money that would go out to districts under the new formula would also be discretionary, meaning school leaders could prioritize more money based on local needs, as opposed to adhering to rigid state funding line items or earmarks.
Rep. Wendy Horman
"We are recognizing your students are individuals and we are going to start funding them as individuals according to the needs they have and the learning environment that is best for them," Horman said.
Consultants and the interim committee made three important changes before releasing the new draft accepted Monday.
They increased the minimum weight for special education students up from 40 percent to 65 percent.
They changed the funding weight for secondary schools with enrollments below 100 students to pay those schools as if 100 students were enrolled.
They changed the wealth adjustment for districts to be based on the taxable property wealth, per student.
Changes in the new draft helped reduce the number of districts that would stand to lose money under the switch, which is one of several sticking points for skeptics and opponents. Under the latest model, 36 districts or charters would expect to see a decrease in funding, while the remaining districts would receive stable or increased funding.
According to funding comparison calculations under the latest draft, districts that would expect to see less funding include:
Orofino, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 13.4 percent.
Fremont County, a decrease of nearly $1.2 million, or 9 percent.
Bliss, a decrease of $95,036, or 5.8 percent.
Nez Perce, a decrease of $104,800, or 5.9 percent.
Districts that would expect to see funding increases include:
Jefferson County, an increase of $3.1 million, or 10 percent.
Jerome, an increase of $2.2 million, or 10 percent.
West Ada, an increase of $9.4 million, or 4.4 percent.
Pocatello, an increase of $4.8 million, or 7.3 percent.
"One thing we're trying to do is reduce the number of losers the original draft of the formula provided," said Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Boise. "That obviously takes money."
Sen. Chuck Winder
Throughout the process, Winder and Horman have stressed that they will hold districts "harmless" during the initial transition to a new formula. Under their definition of hold harmless, that means districts and charters would not receive less money under the new formula than they did this year, for a period of three years. After that, the formula would kick in fully and protection would fall away.
On Monday, ECS consultants estimated it would cost the state an additional $6.5 million to hold districts harmless during the first year of the transition. However, ECS does not have access to current 2018-19 school enrollment data, and likely won't until next month. Plus, ECS consultant Michael Griffith expressed concern over the validity of state data on at-risk students. In the absence of reliable data, Griffith built the calculations around estimates. If his estimates are off significantly, funding estimates could also be off significantly because the number of at-risk students would drive funding under the new model.
Griffith suggested that the at-risk numbers reported today are inaccurate in many districts. The numbers do not drive funding, and as a result, school officials don't take them seriously.
"Once they start driving funding, they will be taken much more seriously," Griffith predicted.
The school funding formula committee does not have the power to adopt the change, only to recommend the change to the Legislature. That means the funding debate will pick up again in January in the House and Senate Education committees.
A subcommittee is already at work drafting a bill to enact the change. That bill would need sponsors and champions to steer it though the education committees and win passage on the floor of the House and Senate. In addition to passing at least one massive funding formula bill, the change would also mandate changes to dozens of other sections of Idaho law. Horman estimated that 55 other laws would need to be amended — basically any other state law that mentions "support units," "average daily attendance," "divisors" or similar terms rooted in the current formula.
Lawmakers expect the proposal to be one of the biggest issues of the session, in part because the formula drives the state's largest expense each year — school funding.
"The education committees are going to be paramount to its passage," Senate Education Committee Chairman Dean Mortimer, R-Idaho Falls, said. "My guess is this is going to be, if not a whole session, at least half a session of work for the germane committees."

9/17/21 Federal COVID-19 vaccine, testing mandates 'will have an massive impact on Quad-Cities businesses'
Employment Law, Traditional Labor Management
Article written by Time Loewy, Quad City Times
Call it a "ripple effect" — except the pebble is a meteor in the form of a new federal mandate and the pond is businesses throughout the Quad-Cities.
President Joe Biden laid out a plan last week that calls for COVID-19 vaccinations or regular testing for every business with more than 100 employees. It is ambitious. And, right now, it is vague.
The ripples in this scenario? Waves of questions crashing on the local business community.
"I would say the shock waves from this mandate have been massive," said management labor and employment attorney Allison Wright of Pappas Wright, P.C. "On the days where I'm not spending half my time on this issue I'm spending all my time on it.
"There is the issue of mandating vaccinations. And there's the issue of testing. No one knows what this is going to look like. Are we looking at telling companies they have to find ways to vaccinate and test all employees? That's a huge undertaking. The questions just keep coming."
There roughly 50 businesses with 300 or more employees throughout the area. Pappas Wright, PC represents hundreds of businesses throughout the Quad-Cities of all sizes.
"You have to remember that any company — no matter its size — that has federal contracts will have to meet the mandates," Wright said. "This will be an enormous undertaking and we just don't know everything right now. We are waiting on OSHA to set out the guidelines companies will need to follow."
The Occupational Safety and Health Act, OSHA, is charged with protecting the country's labor force and is expected to finalize the vaccine mandate in the coming weeks. In the absence of a plan, questions about how workers will be vaccinated, and how others will be tested in a timely manner, are swirling in the Quad-Cities.
"I have heard everything from finding ways to partner with public health to get people vaccinated to others expressing hope the mandate is challenged in court," Wright said.
Wright said the best thing large employers can do right now is to "try and start planning ahead, as much as possible."
The city of Davenport employs nearly 1,000 full-time workers and is trying to stay ahead of the mandate. Along with the possible logistics nightmares Davenport faces, it's looking squarely at the added challenge of forging a partnership with union members to make the mandate work.
"We have been following President Biden's 'Path Out of the Pandemic Plan' closely and are currently waiting on additional implementation guidance," said Mallory Merritt, Davenport's assistant city administrator. "However, in the interim, we are actively meeting with union leadership, beginning the collection of vaccination records on a voluntary basis, and exploring business systems and partnerships that may be needed to support this initiative including possible testing."
Testing, said Wright, is a "huge question. Really, the biggest question."
"People assume tests will be readily available," Wright said. "They are not. There are pharmacies and retail stores that do testing. But how long will that take? And public health is not equipped for rapid expansion of testing.
"Don't get me wrong — I respect and value what public health has done and what they do. But I don't think there has been a lot of thought given at the federal level to what is going to be needed to meet this mandate."
Janet Hill, chief operating officer and public information officer of the Rock Island County Health Department, said much depends on what OSHA outlines in the coming weeks. She also offered a reminder about testing.
"The testing option isn't designed to be a loophole — it is for people with legitimate religious and medical exemptions," Hill said. "However, OSHA hasn't said exactly how this regulation will be implemented for companies with more than 100 people. At this point in the Quad-Cities, testing capacity is less than we'd like to see because state testing sites are not set up here.
"The best tool to end this pandemic remains vaccination. Everyone 12 and older is eligible. People who can be vaccinated but are choosing not to be will strain testing resources even further."
Hill said Illinois has renewed testing at its community-based nasal-swab (PCR) testing sites. The closest sites are Peoria and Rockford.
She also pointed to Black Hawk College in Moline, which offers the University of Illinois Shield saliva-testing option two days a week, Monday and Thursday. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to noon.
PCR tests also are available at CVS, Walgreens, some HyVee locations.
Amy Thoreson, director at the Scott County Health Department, and Brooke Barnes, the department's deputy director, said testing resources are a topic of conversation with the Iowa Department of Public Health.
"We recognize that resources are stressed, giving the continued high level of transmission in the community and greater need for testing. We are working with Iowa Department of Public Health to determine what additional resources can be brought to the community to support the increased testing needs due to COVID-19 spread and illness, travel testing requests, and now employment testing," Barnes said.
Wright said testing and vaccination issues raise the fact "clinics are not set up over night."
"I think there's a huge misunderstanding about what's available out there," Wright said. "The demands on businesses are massive — and not all the resources are there."

El baró Jean-Charles Davillier (Rouen, França, 17 de març de 1823 - París, 1 de març de 1883), sovint referenciat com Charles Davillier, va ser un notable col·leccionista, escriptor i hispanista.

Biografia
Tercer baró Davillier, era net del banquer Jean-Charles Joachim Davillier, primer baró que fou qui construí la fortuna familiar. Ja de ben jove se li va despertar el gust d'antiquari, recorrent les vores del Sena a la cerca de bibelots i medalles. Durant un temps va treballar amb un oncle seu i això el va portar a visitar diversos països i aprendre'n les llengües. El 1865 es va casar i, un temps després, el matrimoni es va instal·lar al carrer Pigalle de París. És en aquesta casa on, cada dilluns, organitzava reunions amb personatges interessats en el món antic, com ara José María de Heredia, el baró Adolph Carl von Rothschild, Johann Strauss o els pintors Gustave Doré, Marià Fortuny i els cunyats d'aquest, Raimundo i Ricardo Madrazo.

Obra literària
La seva obra més coneguda és Viatge per Espanya (Voyage en Espagne), cèlebre per les il·lustracions que hi va fer Gustave Doré i que representen la part la més important de l'obra tauromàquica d'aquest. Es va publicar el 1875 i era el resultat d'un viatge que van fer tots dos amb la intenció de conèixer millor el país i acabar fent un versió il·lustrada del Quixot. El llibre ja havia anat apareixent per entregues entre 1862 i 1873 en la revista de viatges Le Tour du Monde.

De resultes del seu bon coneixement de la ceràmica espanyola, afició que compartia amb Fortuny, és Histoire des Faïences hispano-moresques a reflés metalliques, publicada a París el 1861.

Centering Black Birthing People to Improve Maternal Health Outcomes
Health equity is about ensuring that all individuals and communities have access to the resources and opportunities that they need to attain optimal health and wellbeing. Key to creating and sustaining healthy communities is improving maternal health outcomes.
Health equity is about ensuring that all individuals and communities have access to the resources and opportunities that they need to attain optimal health and wellbeing. Key to creating and sustaining healthy communities is improving maternal health outcomes. I was honored to collaborate with Kelly Davis, Executive Director of New Voices for Reproductive Justice, and co-founder and CEO of Kinshift on this op-ed in response to U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana's comments which placed the blame for his state's high maternal mortality rate on Black birthing people themselves. We also address what needs to be done to ensure that Black birthing people have the supports needed to thrive and live their fullest lives. The op-ed can also be found here on New Voices for Reproductive Justice's website.
New Voices for Reproductive Justice Website
The racialized health inequities revealed and amplified by the ongoing COVID pandemic, the continued threat to reproductive rights, and spiraling racist violence make recent comments by U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana about Black women and maternal mortality all the more appalling. During an interview discussing Louisiana's maternal mortality rate – ranked among the highest in the country – the Senator remarked, "About a third of our population is African American; African Americans have a higher incidence of maternal mortality. So, if you correct our population for race, we're not as much of an outlier as it'd otherwise appear." He added, "Now, I say that not to minimize the issue but to focus the issue as to where it would be. For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."
Since the remarks surfaced on the national stage, many people have expressed disbelief and outrage, even as Senator Cassidy refuses to retract his remarks. As Black health equity experts dedicated to addressing racism's deleterious health impacts, we know that every part of Senator Cassidy's analysis of Louisiana's maternal mortality crisis contains glaring and willful obstructions of scientific facts and public health guidance. According to the Louisiana Health Department's most recent data on pregnancy-associated mortality, Black birthing people accounted for nearly 60% of all maternal deaths in 2018 (despite representing 37% of births). However, Louisiana continues to fail all of its birthing people from this mostly preventable cause of death. White birthing people in Louisiana experience 53 maternal deaths per 100,000 births. In contrast, in New York the average white maternal mortality rate from 2016 to 2018 was 12.6. Simply put, the Senator's assertion that to "correct [Louisiana's] population for race" would align the state's mortality rate is a lie.
The Senator's remarks are just the newest insult to a festering moral injury that has plagued this nation since its inception. Rhetoric about "correcting" the population by presumably minimizing or disappearing Black people has been the baseline of centuries of eugenics and population control campaigns that have ascribed environmental degradation, poverty and poor health to the reproduction of people who are poor, disabled or non-white. These racist ideologies have not only informed decades of public policy and healthcare practice, but also undergird the current Replacement Theory national debate.
Systemic racism contributes to the feckless disregard for the sanctity of Black life in all sectors of society, including healthcare. Over 25 years ago, a group of Black women and femmes launched the Reproductive Justice movement which connects the need to name intersecting spheres of oppression and re-envision a world where Black women and gender-expansive persons can choose how and whether or not to have families, and thrive in safe and secure communities.
For Senator Cassidy to posit that there is no known root cause for the nation's Black maternal health crisis flies in the face of global maternal health advocacy work that has been anchored by policy, advocacy and research catalyzed within his own state. The intense national news coverage about Black American maternal health has focused on Louisiana. National maternal, infant and reproductive thought leaders like the National Birth Equity Collaborative and Women With A Vision are helmed in New Orleans. A team of researchers led by Louisiana's Tulane University proved that across the United State the risk for homicide actually increased during the perinatal period.
Senator Cassidy's blaming Black people for poor health outcomes despite concrete evidence to the contrary is not happenstance, rather an age-old tactic used to evade the moral and political accountability of those in power. It's easier for Senator Cassidy and others to shift the narrative to blame Black women than to use their power as leaders and legislators to create the social supports Black birthing people need to thrive like comprehensive health insurance, abortion access, gun control, and anti-racist medical care. Advancing even just one of these policy areas could drastically improve Louisiana's maternal health. The ruling political class in Louisiana, including Senator Cassidy, has failed to meaningfully address any of these issues.
Irrespective of any politician's contempt for the lives of Black birthing people, we know our liberation is not dependent upon the legislature. Black birthing people are the experts in what they need to thrive. By leading with equity and centering the needs of the most marginalized, politicians could help co-create pragmatic solutions to improve birth outcomes, not just in Louisiana, but across the globe. That should be Senator Cassidy's ultimate goal. With or without him and other legislators, it will certainly be ours.

Richard Swift, a cult US singer-songwriter and producer, has died aged 41. He had been diagnosed with a "serious medical condition" according to a fundraising page set up following a recent stay in hospital.
From 2005 onwards, Swift released a series of albums and EPs that blended classic guitar-driven songwriting with offbeat production touches and his own soulful vocals. They won acclaim, and he toured as a support act with the likes of Wilco and the Fray; his song Would You? was recently featured in the Lady Gaga documentary Five Foot Two.
Swift performed on the Pretenders' 2016 album Alone. Frontwoman Chrissie Hynde promoted his fundraising campaign, saying: "I love Swift, he is a dear friend."
He was also a member of indie rock band the Shins from 2011 to 2016, and was the touring bassist with the Black Keys in 2014. The latter band posted on Instagram: "He was the funniest person we ever met, one of the most talented musicians we have ever worked with and we feel so honoured to have known him. RIP Richard."
Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys posted a tribute on Instagram saying: "I will miss you my friend". The 39-year-old Black Keys singer shared a picture of him with Swift and said: "Today the world lost one of the most talented musicians I know. He's now with his Mom and Sister."
Swift also worked as a producer or mixer for Sharon Van Etten, Foxygen, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Damien Jurado, with whom he made a collaborative album covering songs by acts such as Kraftwerk and Chubby Checker. Swift was also an illustrator, and designed album sleeves for Foxygen and others.
The Richard Swift Collection Vol. 1, a collection of his solo work, was released in 2005, by Secretly Canadian records. His last full solo album, the Atlantic Ocean, was released in 2009.
Many other musicians paid tribute to the US musician including Nathan Followill of the Kings of Leon, who described him as his wife, Jessie Baylin's, "musical soul mate".
Jonathan Rado from Foxygen wrote on Twitter:: "Today i lost one of my best friends. family. my hero. my everything. one of the true greats. swift was my music dad. He taught me everything i know & i will never forget him."

Clint Hill is willing to put a fledgling coaching career on hold if QPR offer him a further one-year playing deal on his current contract.
The Rangers stalwart is facing the uncertain like a pile of his team-mates at Loftus Road come the end of this campaign, but the 37-year-old insists he has the legs to a plug a Rangers gap when needed next term.
Hill was the player smart enough to be on his own goalline at Cardiff on Saturday to clear a last-minute effort trickling towards goal, and after initially filling in for Grant Hall, says he wants to play on even if it stalls his future on a touchline.
"I'm up to my A' licence which enables me to manage at Championship level and I will be working towards my pro-licence in maybe the next year to 18 months," Hill explained.
"So it is something I want to get my teeth into. I never thought I would be playing up to this age and feeling this good, so that has put the coaching bit on the side for the moment.
"But as for a deal, as a player, coach or player-coach at QPR, that is not up to me.

Rather than dragging one big project with elaboration, we need to proceed with an 'Agile' approach that s 10 projects and gets one of them to success." In an interview with Money Today on April 29, Dr.Kim said, "The digital transformation is proceeding faster than expected, and we are going to introduce an agile strategy in all fields such as R&D and administration." The interview was held at the site of the Money Today global conference '2021 Key Platform' held at the Conrad Hotel in Seoul on the subject of 'Dismantling the Group: Internalization of adaptive execution' on the 28th and 30th of last month.
KISTI is a specialized research institute that provides science and technology knowledge information for industry-academia-research researchers based on supercomputing and data analysis technology, and supports corporate technology commercialization. Data is the beginning and end of work.
Dr.Kim who took office on March 23, emphasizes "proper timing" and "capability"' the most. As it is an institution that deals with data called crude oil in the 4th industrial revolution and digital age, it should not be left behind the trend of the times.
Dr.Kim said, "As the public sector emphasizes accuracy and stability, it is inevitable to be cautious when making certain plans, but considering too much time often lead to bad result". He also said "The digital age is an era of creativity and adventure, so public institutions shouldn't work the old way."
"KISTI's customer service would be somewhat insufficient at first, but we will focus more on providing the necessary data in a timely manner and persuade customers." "Customer could complain about the service, but now we are not afraid of such a thing," he emphasized.
The change has already begun. Dr.Kim is introducing an agile strategy in all areas of KISTI work, including administration, planning, policy, and research projects. For example, He ed the '3 · 3 · 3 Talk' right after his inauguration. It is a program in which the President and employees communicate face to face on the third and third days of the month at 3:00 pm without a set subject.
Dr.Kim said, "In the past, it would have taken several months for the department in charge to plan the program, obtain approval from the top, and modify the program in order to have time to communicate with the staff." "If only the picture comes out, I'll try to run it," he said.
Dr.Kim suggested 'Changing the world with Data' as KISTI vision. KISTI will celebrates its 60th anniversary next year. He said, "People who have data in the past, people who know where the data is after that, people who use data well now are the best." and "Data should be focused on its utilization," he said.
He cited the example of the flood prevention project with Incheon Metropolitan City. "In the past, building a levee around the area where there was a lot of flooding was all, but analyzing the meteorological model with big data and artificial intelligence, and opening the structure of the sewage pipe will come up with a new alternative." "I am trying to contribute to creating a happy and joyful world with data-driven solution" he said.
KISTI is also actively fostering data companies. Dr.Kim plans to upgrade ASTI, a window for supporting small and medium-sized business technology commercialization, to DX(Digital Transformation) ASTI(Association of Science and Technology Information). KISTI is focused on strengthening the digital capabilities of companies.
Dr.Kim said, "KISTI will provide technology consulting services so that companies can accumulate and manage data well and support them to develop their innovative growth capabilities." and ""Our goal is to make data unicorn companies appear among the companies we have supported."

Dementia is a brain disorder resulting in memory loss and a decline in thinking abilities. Its a condition that is known to grow worse with time and is associated with changes in behavior and personality. Individuals often become confused, fearful and withdrawn. Communication also becomes more difficult. In some cases they may become combative and resist care. As mental and physical functioning declines, so does their ability to care for themselves.
