Victoria Male
Co-Producer, Co-Host and Executive Assistant
By IVY Team	• 12 months ago
I'm all about stories – whether it's falling in love with them or bringing them to life.
I also co-produce and co-host the Your Biggest Fangirl podcast. We seek to be the best vehicle to explore fan culture and fandom in-depth and intellectually from a female perspective. We strive to offer knowledgeable viewpoints from two fangirls who not only are active in fandom, but possess "behind the scenes" experiences and access to the artists they admire. We create meaningful, entertaining dialogues with other fans, creators, and scholars, celebrating what it means to be a fangirl.
My friendship with my co-host Kristen was forged through a mutual love of fandom. We found that we had trouble finding other fangirls to really explore the nature of fandom with, and thus the podcast was born. With the podcast, we're aiming to reduce the shame and stigma that's attached to girls who are passionate about media by celebrating those who are. At the same time, however, we also seek to examine and unpack the less healthy aspects of fandom. Kristen and I are searching for that healthy balance of engaging in the space – how can these stories and characters serve you without interfering with your health? As someone who works in Hollywood, I've had the great fortune of meeting a lot of my favorite creators and even have worked with a few of them, so we also incorporate tips and tricks into our episodes on how fangirls can make the most of their own fan encounters.
This mission is incredibly personal to me. As much as I endeavor to be an uplifting voice in the fangirl community and for the podcast to provide a safe and empowering space, the notions of balance and shame are things that I've struggled with as a fangirl myself. My experience with fandom has tended to be an "all-or-nothing" style of engagement, so I feel that I'm learning just as much as I hope our listeners are as the podcast progresses.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I once helped the godfather of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee, shop for jeans when I used to work in retail. He told me it was the first time he ever found the perfect pair on the first try!
Who do you admire and why?
Ashley Eckstein, entrepreneur, author, and actress, exemplifies my fangirl goals. Not only is she a beloved voice actress, best known for voicing the first major female Jedi character Ahsoka Tano in the Star Wars animated series, she also founded the lifestyle brand Her Universe. Originally founded as a "fashion for fangirls" clothing line, her motivation to create the brand was to support fangirls by having merchandise made specifically for them and encourage them to take more ownership in the space. The brand now has collections for children and men, as well as hosts a Project Runway-esque fashion show competition annually at San Diego Comic Con. Ashley has served as a major inspiration for my co-host Kristen and I with regards on how to make one's passion their profession in an authentic and galvanizing way. We're beyond proud to say that we've had Ashley as a guest on Your Biggest Fangirl, which had always been a major item on our fangirl bucket list!
Why did you join IVY?
I joined IVY because I was feeling insulated by the types of people I was meeting in my industry. Working in entertainment, I grew tired of constantly "talking shop" with my peers, and was attracted to the diversity in IVY's membership. In addition to its members being from all walks of life, I also appreciated how IVY centered its mission on learning and expanding my horizons. Between the diversity of members and events, I was hooked!
What has been your most memorable IVY Experience?
My most memorable IVY event was the Thought Leader Brunch & Discussion with Lauryn Evarts and Michael Bosstick in 2016. I was in the midst of developing my podcast, Your Biggest Fangirl, so the opportunity to speak with Lauyrn and Michael, who host such a successful podcast and pioneered such an authentic brand, was invaluable. The IVY introduction got me hooked on their podcast, The Skinny Confidential Him & Her, which has since been a constant source of motivation and knowledge for me. I especially treasured the intimate setting of the event, which allowed me to connect with fellow IVY members in addition to Lauryn and Michael, as well as the delicious food and setting at The District in West Hollywood.

Despite the decline in big financing rounds, angel and seed funding of startups in Maharashtra as a percentage of a total number of deals touched a five-year high of 80% in 2016.
Mumbai witnessed downfall as its startup epicenter Powai saw many shutdowns last year. Startups like TinyOwl, Purple Squirtle, Task Bob, Groc-shop have shut down last year. The city has racked $232 Million worth of funding across 151 deals last year.

Angela hired Mark, a real estate broker, to help her find a house to buy.
A week later, Mark contacted Angela and told her that he had found the perfect house for her. She asked him what he knew about the house. He said that the house had been owned for some years by Carol, who had kept it in pristine condition. When she visited the house, Angela noticed what appeared to be animal droppings on the deck. Carol assured her that they were only bird droppings, had never appeared previously, and would be removed before closing. Carol added that she never had any problem with any kind of "pests." Angela made an offer of $500,000 for the house, and Carol accepted.
After closing, Angela spent $10,000 to move her household goods to the house. A few weeks after moving into the house, Angela made several discoveries. First, the house suffered from a seasonal infestation of bats, which urinated and defecated on the deck. Second, Carol was in fact Mark's cousin, had owned the house for about a year, and had been desperate to sell it because of the bats. Mark was aware of all of these facts.
After the sale, Mark evenly split the proceeds with Carol and invested his $250,000 in stocks that are now worth $750,000.
At trial, Angela has established that Mark and Carol are liable to her in tort and contract.
1. What remedy or remedies may Angela obtain against Carol? Discuss.
2. What remedy or remedies may Angela obtain against Mark? Discuss.

PetWellClinic Signs Three-Unit Deal to Provide Pet Care in Northeastern Massachusetts
PetWellClinic, an emerging pet-wellness franchise, has signed a three-unit franchise agreement to open locations in Massachusetts, specifically in the Northeastern part of the state. The clinics will provide convenient preventative care for pets including general check-ups, vaccinations and treatment of minor ailments and chronic conditions in a walk-in environment. PetWellClinic's unique clinic model offers an affordable, easily accessible healthcare experience for pets and pet owners versus traditional veterinary clinics or pet hospitals.
The multi-unit agreement has been signed by Jeff Bezer, a first-time franchisor with an extensive background in business management. After his experience in various management roles, most recently at a medical device company, Bezer realized his passion for helping others. With a dedication to serving his community and making a difference in people's lives, Bezer felt drawn to PetWellClinic as a potential business owner. The brand's vital pet care model, affordability and convenience were the main catalysts for Bezer to begin his first entrepreneurial venture.
"I always knew I wanted to own a business, but I also wanted to help people and make a difference in my community," said Bezer. "I know that PetWellClinic can alleviate the stress and high costs of pet ownership. The walk-in veterinary model is just as innovative as it is traditional. PetWellClinic is bringing back the joy in veterinary care for animal owners seeking an affordable, convenient and community-oriented clinic for their furry family members."
Not only does the PetWellClinic model provide an incredible quality of life for pets and their owners, but it's also a practical option for veterinarians and veterinary technicians looking for a new career with a sustainable workload. Since the clinic purely focuses on preventable care with simplified services, veterinarians are only needed during daytime hours. Each clinic offers 8-hour work days, meaning no more overnight or double-shifts and no more emergency surgeries.
"PetWellClinic prides itself on much more than the quality services we provide for our pets," said Dr. Sam Meisler, DVM, founder and CEO of PetWellClinic. "We also create an environment focused on work-life balance for our highly-ranked veterinarians. With the ability to grant our staff daytime working hours, our pet care model stays consistent with everyone involved. PetWellClinic ensures an environment of care and kindness and that starts with our own staff."
Each PetWellClinic location also utilizes a proprietary veterinary software program designed by Dr. Meisler for seamless clinic processes and to maximize efficiency throughout the day. The locations are designed for complete transparency and openness, so clients can see everything that is happening, from the front of the clinic to the back.
For more information about PetWellClinic franchise opportunities, please visit Petwell Franchise or contact Joe Sexton at joseph@oakscale.com. PetWellClinic has partnered with Oakscale, to lead franchise development efforts for the brand. For more information about Oakscale, please visit Oak Scale.

BOLLYWOOD: The decision to change her name post marriage was criticised by many, but Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor feels it is her choice to take her husband's surname.
The actor pointed out even her husband, Anand Ahuja, changed his name after tying the knot but nobody spoke about that.
Kapoor got hitched to Ahuja on May 8 in a traditional Sikh wedding ceremony in Mumbai. Shortly after her marriage, the actor updated her name on social media accounts as 'Sonam K Ahuja'.
The move did not go down well with many people who expressed their disappointment that a feminist icon like her resorted to patriarchy.
In a video interview from Cannes, where Kapoor walked the red carpet for cosmetic brand L'Oreal Paris, the actor said she has always been a feminist and the choice to change her name rests with her and no one else.
Ahuja has also updated his name on Instagram, adding an 'S' before Ahuja.


Business has been and is still an integral part of society right from the earliest of days. Others might even argue that the exchange of services and goods over time is the basis for the development of civilization and the emergence of the modern world. As such, business is here to stay. It is at the forefront of progress and innovation. It forms a link into the past and a guide towards the future.
Why Should Someone Study Business?
Those who graduate with business degrees gain an advantage in the pursuit of the American dream. This country got founded on the idea that any hardworking individual can start a business and this ideal is still a motivating factor within the united states and the current global economy.
With a business degree at hand, you can easily set yourself apart from the competition. Though starting and operating a business needs some talent, taking courses such as business management can tremendously boost your talent.
⦁ The student attains problem-solving and critical thinking skills which range from balancing budgets to analyzing marketing blunders.
⦁ By integrating business concepts in education, students learn about communication skills. No single business can succeed when operated by one individual. Likewise, a business cannot make any progress without a client base. Therefore, negotiation skills, people skills, and hospitality are essential in smoothly operating a modern business.
⦁ You get an opportunity to learn how to conduct thorough research. To succeed in business, you need to take your entire economic and physical surroundings into account to maximize your productivity and revenues.
Just like any other degree, there are several factors to consider before joining the faculty. Two fundamental considerations for both local and international students contemplating joining business courses in the US are individual goals and interests. These considerations are highly important especially in business education since it is a wide discipline with numerous applications. Business studies are so vast that you will require some direction to avoid confusion.
Another consideration before applying for a course in this subject is to ensure that your credit scores meet the specific requirements of the given faculty. Ensure your GPA credits are within the cut-off mark. Moreover, you need to draft a splendid application essay that shall convince your faculty board into allotting you a slot within the course.
Before you join the business school, you might be required to draft an application essay whereby you sell yourself as an individual. You need to narrate your story as you state your strengths and achievements. Most college applicants lack the requisite experience in writing such papers. As such they need thorough custom writing assistance.
Some online academic assistance agencies have been in operation over the last decade. As such, they have gained vast experience in writing different business topics. Therefore, they can provide uniquely tailored solutions to you.
If you need your business essay within a limited timeframe, you can simply hire fast online writers. Some companies can have your paper written in as short as three hours.
Since various business topics require high creativity levels, you need to be able to produce unique content in your compositions. In case you cite any external material you must acknowledge the author/s through citations. There are academic writing companies that have seasoned writers who always begin a paper from scratch to enhance the flow of ideas. They are also adept in utilizing all the academic writing formats. Furthermore, they have effective software such as Copyscape and Turnitin that detect and help remove plagiarism.

BetRadar's Virtual Euro 2016 Gives Sportsbooks Another Soccer Betting Option
by Joss Wood
BetRadar's release of its virtual Euro Cup product provides sports betting operators with an extra way to capitalize on the intense betting interest aroused by the UEFA Euro 2016 soccer competition.
The real Euro vs. the virtual one
The event will be the focus of a vast amount of betting action worldwide, and the outcome of the games will have a material impact on 2016 revenues for the major operators.
The competition consists of a qualifying round involving 53 teams, a series of playoffs, and then the finals which will include 24 teams.
The qualifiers and playoffs have all been completed, and the final 24 teams will play down to a winner starting June 10 and ending July 10.
BetRadar's virtual version of the event will be played out with the same starting teams, but the eventual winner could be very different.
The application provides various betting options, and users can watch matches play out as video streamed games in 70 minute accelerated sessions. The quality of the video is superb; on a casual glance it looks a lot like the real broadcasts.
Virtual Euro 2016's enthusiastic reception
Over 25 different operators, including SportingBet are already integrating the product alongside their existing sports betting products.
Liga Stavok was the first Russian sports betting operator to get a license under Russia's new online gaming laws.
Maxim Afanasyev, Head of Trading at Liga Stavok, said:
"We have used BetRadar's virtual football product since 2013 and found that the combination of best in class 3D animation together with the attention to detail in terms of data, histories and markets make their product the most compelling and impactful. When we heard that BetRadar were ploughing all that same technology and realism into a format that leverages the buzz we anticipate this summer, it really was a no-brainer for us and we cannot wait to see how our customers react to this new installment".
Match outcomes follow the same probability distribution as real games
BetRadar uses its database of soccer statistics to create game outcomes which match the likely outcomes of the real games, but with a random element to reflect the real-life possibility that the best teams don't always win.
The probability distribution of virtual match outcomes is calculated to be as close as possible to the probability distribution of the real matches.
Alex Inglot of SportRadar explained the process to LSR:
"We do a lot of analysis of real leagues – for example Bundesliga and EPL for virtual football league, NBA data for virtual basketball which gives us a distribution curve for virtual team performance that has it's basis in the real world.
For example, Team A will beat Team B 3 out of 4 times. Same for score distribution, e.g. 20% chance of 2-0, 5% for 4-1, etc.. Put all these together and we have a statistical analysis for any match up of teams. All we then need to do then is draw a random number to select where on the curve the result will come from and play out the video."
The aim is to provide the same betting experience that fans will get from betting on the live matches. Inglot told LSR that the "chances are Germany or France will lift the trophy however, even Iceland can make it all the way if results and random numbers fall the right way."
The addition of a virtual Euro 2016 betting product gives operators a second route to the customer, enhancing their overall experience of the competition. A second set of matches, even though virtual, provide an extra way to generate revenues, leveraging customers' interest in the live competition.
The money involved in Euro 2016 is substantial
European equity strategists at French investment bank Societe Generale have put together their recommendations for the companies that are likely to make the most from the competition.
In the sports betting arena, they recommend investing in the newly merged Paddy Power Betfair Group. As an alternative, they list SportingBet's parent GVC.
The competition will be a nail-biting affair not just for the teams and fans, but also for the operators.
Ladbrokes CEO Jim Mullen told Bloomberg News that every time England wins a match, the company could lose around £1 million ($1.47 million).
"For the first half of the tournament we could be significantly in the red," Mullen said. "Then in the second half, when it comes down to the big eight teams, it gets tougher, and that's when I try to get my money back. But it's extremely nerve-racking."
Virtual sports can help mitigate earnings volatility
Mullen stated that England winning the Euro 2016 tournament would pose "the biggest single risk" to Ladbrokes' financial year results.
The volatility in earnings that huge sporting events such as the Euro 2016 add to bookmakers' financial reports is a fact of life that they are extremely experienced in dealing with — in the long run all should come good.
However, one additional benefit that offering virtual versions of major sporting competitions has the potential to provide, is a mitigation of some of the more extreme event risks faced by operators.
Leicester City's unexpected title in the English Premier League hit bookmaker earnings very hard. In a virtual version of the league, the chances of the outcome being the same are low, although there is — and should be — a positive correlation.
Bets laid on the virtual version should therefore have a mitigating impact when the live competition produces unexpected results, and vice-versa.

This Advent, I have been thinking a lot about joy. I believe each person has a God-given, infinite supply of joy. Advent is a time when we celebrate the familiar joy of Jesus' birth and his presence in our lives today. It's also a time for us to anticipate the unimaginable joy we'll experience when Jesus comes again and we are reunited—a joy greater than any joy we've ever known.
The joy of Advent is always available to us, but sometimes we forget. We get distracted by the cares of everyday life. We confuse joy and happiness, thinking they are the same. But they are different. Happiness ebbs and flows, often influenced by our choices and others' responses. Joy is a steady source. A constant and unwavering well with a direct line to our Lord, who always loves us, unconditionally.
The past several years many external challenges outside my control have worn me down. For a time, my joy seemed diminished. On a recent trip to Tuscany, I rediscovered my heart's joy. Sprinkled throughout my stay in the Tuscan countryside, I found reminders of who I am and what God has called me to do with the talents and life he's entrusted to me.
In my "After Tuscany" life, I've tried to take a few minutes each day to remind myself what joy feels like and what brings my joy to the surface. I've tried to acknowledge the cares of life that threaten to make me forget about my ever-ready source of joy… and to lay down those cares at Jesus' feet.
My creative process this week included creating journal artwork: I sketched ideas for Advent candles, scanned a sketch into Illustrator to create a cleaned up outline, then digitally painted it in Photoshop.
Sharing my writing with others also brings me joy. This week, I am sharing an excerpt from Unimaginable Joy: An Advent Journal. I would love for you to try it out and comment below or send me an email to let me know how your journaling goes. Week One focuses on knowing and acknowledging joy.
What are some of the everyday things that bring your joy to the surface? What are some of the cares of this life that threaten to distract you from that joy? What are some of the ways you can remind yourself of the joy of Advent and the unimaginable joy that awaits us?

N2 Packaging Systems, LLC files lawsuit in Maricopa County, Arizona to prevent unauthorized use of intellectual property.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- N2 Packaging Systems, LLC ("N2 Packaging") recently filed a lawsuit against the Canadian entity N2 Pack Canada, Inc., and its principals Eric Marciniak, Brendan Pogue and Alex Abellan for intellectual property theft on N2 Packaging's patented packaging processes.
N2 Packaging is the sole and exclusive patent holder and provider of its proprietary nitrogen-based packaging systems, which provides a unique process of packaging controlled substances in a hermetically sealed container.
According to N2 Packaging's complaint, the N2 Canada Defendants conspired and engaged in a nefarious scheme with third-party companies and individuals to defraud N2 Packaging, as well as misappropriate and infringe upon N2 Packaging's patented nitrogen-based packaging processes in the United States and Canada without N2 Packaging's knowledge or consent.
The Conspirators engaged in the Scheme to usurp N2 Packaging's business opportunities in Arizona, the United States and elsewhere, as well as to exploit N2 Packaging's Intellectual Property, Proprietary Process and publicity and goodwill regarding the same, for the Conspirator's pecuniary gain, without the need to expend the significant resources that was required of N2 Packaging to design, develop and patent N2 Packaging's Intellectual Property.
The N2 Packaging Complaint further alleges that the N2 Canada Defendants and other third parties started a Canadian company named Nitrotin, Inc. to market and sell N2 Packaging's patented nitrogen-based packaging processes as their own. In doing so, the N2 Canada Defendants have allegedly reached out to N2 Packaging's customers under the guise of N2 Packaging and created a "copy-cat" website that looks exactly like N2 Packaging's website.
"We will take any and all steps necessary to protect our intellectual property and proprietary packaging processes." – Scott Martin, Chief Executive Officer of N2 Packaging.
N2 Packaging filed its complaint on February 22, 2019, in the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, and alleged counts for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, alter ego, infringement of patent, inducement of patent infringement abroad, violation of the Lanham Act, and violation of Arizona's Unlawful Practices statute.
N2 Packaging is also seeking a judgment ordering injunctive relief to stop the N2 Canada Defendants from misappropriating and infringing upon N2 Packaging's patented packaging processes, and for monetary damages from the infringement.
N2 Packaging invites those who have been contacted by the N2 Canada Defendants, Nitrotin or anyone else outside of N2 Packaging about N2 Packaging's patented packaging processes to reach out to its representatives.

Title IV Program Joins the Company's Title I and II Program Partnerships with HISD
CAMDEN, N.J. (PRWEB) October 23, 2017
Catapult Learning, Inc. today announced that the company has been awarded a contract by the Houston Independent School District to provide Title IV, Part A services to private, nonpublic schools within the district. Catapult is the sole recipient of this one-year contract (RFP is option to renew through 2022), which will enable the company to provide services to as many as 52 private nonpublic schools within the Houston Independent School District. The Title IV, Part A program, also known as the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant, will service schools in three focus areas: well-rounded educational opportunities; activities to support safe and healthy students' activity; and effective use of technology.
The Title IV program services will support students, families, teachers, and school leaders. The family-specific programming focuses on family engagement and personal well-being as critical to student success. STEM-focused programs—targeting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)—will support both students and teachers, providing STEM literature and hands-on activities for students and professional development workshops for teachers.
"The Title IV, Part A grant provides great flexibility to support eligible students at our participating schools," said Pamela Evans, Manager, External Funding - Titles I, II & IV, for Houston Independent School District.

The company partners with HISD, providing Title I and Title II services to more than 2,000 students and professional development to over 1,000 teachers and school leaders annually.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us to grow and strengthen our partnerships with Houston ISD, ADGH, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston," said Meridith Banks, Catapult Learning's Regional Director. "This new Title IV program allows us to provide additional support services in the region to help meet the needs of an even greater number of students and teachers."
Catapult Learning provides Title I and Title II services in both public and nonpublic schools throughout the country. Several of its longest-standing partnerships are with the largest dioceses and archdioceses in the country, including New York, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, in addition to Galveston-Houston.

3 states where teachers could go on strike next
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2018
As thousands of teachers in Arizona and Colorado mark their second day of walkouts Friday, there are also rumblings of possible strikes in other states, with educators throughout the country demanding more funding and higher pay.
Teachers in Arizona will brave 98-degree heat to march to the state Capitol for the second time this week. In Colorado, educators will also march to the state Capitol and they're using their personal days to do so, leading roughly 30 school districts to close as a result. Only one school district in Colorado voted to officially go on strike, but they cannot take action until the state's education agency decides by May 4 whether to try to broker a resolution with teachers.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) announced a proposal earlier this month to raise teacher pay by 20 percent by 2020, but teachers have said that amount is insufficient. Ducey said on Wednesday that he won't offer the educators anything more, according to the Arizona Daily Star. "And it's time to move on," he said.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, Republican lawmakers introduced a measure that would forbid public school teachers and unions from going on strike and threatening them with fines, jail time, and termination if they violate the terms. The measure has little chance of becoming law, but its introduction alone highlights the hostile environment in which teachers find themselves.
Following teacher actions in West Virginia, Jersey City, Oklahoma, and Kentucky in recent weeks, Colorado and Arizona have become the latest battlegrounds for education funding. But they likely won't be the last. Louisiana, North Carolina, and Nevada are all experiencing disputes over education funding. As ThinkProgress' Casey Quinlan previously reported, in most of these states, school funding is still far below what it was before the Great Recession of 2008.
Here's a look at where walkouts and strikes could happen next:
Nearly 800 teachers in Durham have requested personal leave on May 16 to travel to the state legislature to call for higher school funding, pay raises, and reductions in class size, local NBC affiliate WRAL reported Thursday.
The Durham Association of Educators said they would request that the Durham Public Schools board cancel classes on that day.
A 2017 report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) listed North Carolina as one of seven states which, since the Great Recession, not only cut general funding — which supports elementary and secondary schools — but also enacted income tax rate cuts costing the state $3.5 billion a year, making it "nearly impossible for North Carolina to restore these education cuts, let alone make new investments."
Today, North Carolina ranks 40th in the country when it comes to education funding, 43rd when it comes to per-pupil funding, and 35th when it comes to teacher salaries, with average pay only recently breaking the $50,000 mark long promisedby state lawmakers.
The Louisiana Federation of Teachers is currently surveying its teachers to determine their willingness to go on strike to win "significant pay raises." The results of the survey are expected to be released next month, but many educators have already expressed frustration over their salaries, which ranks as one of the lowest in the country.
According to the CBPP, per-pupil funding in Louisiana dropped more than 12 percent from 2008 to 2015. Like North Carolina and other states, tax cuts are largely to blame. Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) cut income taxes and increased corporate tax breaks, leading state revenue to drop dramatically.
The state consistently ranks last in the country when it comes to quality of public education.
Talks of rallying in Nevada have started gaining traction, with at least one school district calling on lawmakers to find a solution to the school's poor funding and low salaries.
While strikes are illegal in Nevada, teachers at the Clark County School District in Las Vegas were frustrated during a press conference Thursday, asking state officials to use extra funding from the state's recreational marijuana tax to fund higher wages. Currently, that money goes to the state's "rainy day" fund, and not to the schools.
"In states such as Arizona, Oklahoma and Kentucky, teachers associations are rallying and protesting to the governors and legislators at state capitols because that's where the money for raises comes from," said Linda E. Young, of the Board of School Trustees, according to a local NBC affiliate. "It's time for us to rally together in Nevada to give our teachers and other employees the raises they deserve…"
Nevada is one of six states that drastically cut capital spending used to build, renovate, and equip schools with resources. Between 2008 and 2015, Nevada cut capital spending by a whopping 82 percent, according to the CBPP. The state's student-to-teacher ratio also rose during that time, from 18:3 to 21:2. Per-pupil spending in Nevada ranks in the bottom 10 in the country.

Colorado Republican bill would jail teachers for walking out
Colorado teachers are getting ready to join the wave of teacher walkouts to fight for pay raises and increased education funding—and two Republican lawmakers want to jail the teachers for their activism.
The bill, SB18-264, would prohibit public school teacher strikes by authorizing school districts to seek an injunction from district court. A failure to comply with the injunction would "constitute contempt of court" and teachers could face not only fines but up to six months in county jail, the bill language reads.
The bill also directs school districts to fire teachers on the spot without a proper hearing if they're found in contempt of court and also bans public school teachers from getting paid "for any day which the public school teacher participates in a strike."
Presumably state Rep. Paul Lundeen and state Sen. Bob Gardner have not read the polls showing widespread support for teacher walkouts and an even more widespread sentiment that teachers are underpaid. Or maybe they have read the polls and they just don't care how unpopular their jail-the-teachers bill would be.

Voters raise the minimum wage in four states and pass paid sick leave in two
It's become a regular feature of elections in recent years: Even as the federal minimum wage stays stuck at $7.25 an hour, with congressional Republicans refusing to raise it, voters resoundingly choose to raise state and local minimum wages. Four states voted for minimum wage increases on Tuesday: Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and Washington. Paid sick leave also continued to gain momentum.
In Arizona, $12 by 2020 was passed by nearly 60 percent of voters. The first raise, from $8.05 to $10, will come in January. Tipped workers in one Arizona city are also getting some good news. Flagstaff voted to raise the tipped minimum wage to $15 by 2026. The federal tipped minimum wage has been $2.13 an hour since 1991. In Colorado and Maine, the minimum wage will be going to $12 by 2020 as well, with Maine including tipped workers—they'll get to the full $12 by 2024, up from a current level of $3.75.
And then there's Washington state, which before the minimum wage-raising movement of the past few years had the highest minimum wage of any state in the country but has gotten left behind even as two of its cities—Seattle and SeaTac—passed $15 minimum wages. On Tuesday, Washington voters said yes to $13.50 by 2020. Their minimum wage was slated to go from $9.47 to $9.53 on January 1, but instead it'll go to $11.
That's not all. The same measures that raised the minimum wage in Washington and Arizona also included paid sick leave. They will become the fifth and sixth states—after Connecticut, California, Massachusetts, and Oregon—to require paid sick leave.
This is all good news for millions of workers. And workers will need any good news they can get under President Trump.

Minimum Wage Increases On the Ballot In Four States
There's a lot more going on in this election than the presidential race between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Borne out of the dedication and hard work of activists, ballot initiatives give citizens the opportunity to vote directly on legislation and constitutional amendments at the state and local level, sometimes even bypassing the legislature.
This year, People's Action affiliates in four states have seen their hard work pay off by successfully getting initiatives to increase the minimum wage on the ballot.
In Arizona, voters will decide whether to pass The Fair Wages and Healthy Families Initiative. The ballot initiative, if passed, will raise Arizona's minimum wage to $10 per hour in 2017, and gradually raise it to $12 by 2020. It also provides "earned paid sick time," which workers can use if they or a family member gets sick, and prohibits retaliation against employees who use the benefit. The measure does, however, retain the state's law on tipping, which allows employers to pay workers who receive tips up to $3.00 less than minimum wage.
According to Arizonans for Fair Wages and Healthy Families:
– A minimum wage worker in Arizona only earns $17,000 per year.
– More than half of minimum wage workers in Arizona are women.
– More than 27 percent of Arizona's low-wage earners are parents.
– 45 percent of Arizonans don't have access to earned sick days.
Those numbers tell the stories of people like Riann Norton, a single mother two, who often has to miss work in order to care for her chronically ill young daughter, or Iraq War veteran Luis Cardenas, who came home only to join the ranks of veterans struggling to meet their basic needs with low wages.
The measure is supported by a number of coalition partners, including Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), which is part of the Fight for $15 movement, and organized community members to petition fast-food chains like McDonald's and grocery stores like El Super to pay their workers living wages.
Colorado's State Minimum Wage Amendment will raise the state's minimum wage to $9.30 per hour effective January 1, 2017, and increase it by $0.90 every January, until it reaches $12 per hour in 2020. After 2020, the wage will be adjusted for increases in the cost of living. The law allows employers to pay employees who also make tips up to $3.02 less than minimum wage.
The Colorado People's Alliance, which worked to get the initiative on the ballot, says that nearly half a million Coloradans will see their wages increase if the measure passes — including 263,000 women, or 22 percent of female workers in the state. One in five Coloradans would get a raise, and 86 percent of them will be adult workers over 20 years old. Currently in Colorado, full-time minimum-wage workers earn about $300 per week, or $17,000 a year.
According to a recent University of Denver study, increasing Colorado's minimum wage would pump up to $400 million into the state's economy and raise the standard of living for one in five households.
About 400,000 Colorado households, half of those families with children, will see higher incomes if the amendment passes.
Colorado's minimum wage amendment currently holds a 13-point lead in the first publicly released poll on the proposal. Of likely 2016 general-election voters, 55 percent support the amendment, while 42 percent oppose it, and 3 percent remain undecided. That's good news for workers like Marilyn Sorenson, a home health care worker who finds after more than 20 years, her paycheck hasn't kept up with her basic expenses; and business owners like Vine Street pub owner Kevin Daily, who says that increasing the wage will boost productivity by lowering workers' financial stress, and increase the number of people "with more money in their pockets so they can afford a beer and a meal."
The Minimum Wage Increase Initiative, Question 4 on Maine's state ballot this year, will increase the general minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2020. The initiative also increases the wage for tipped workers from half of minimum wage to $5 an hour in 2017, then increases it by $1 every year, until it is equal to the general minimum wage by 2024.
Republican Governor Paul LePage joined business groups in an attempt to push a smaller wage increase through the state legislature. Republicans on the legislative budget committee took the budget hostage, saying they would only negotiate new spending if Democrats supported a smaller wage increase. However, none of the competing proposals passed the House, so there is no competing measure on the ballot.
According to a study by the nonprofit poverty relief group Oxfam, Maine has the highest percentage of low-wage workers in the Northeast. "So 32 percent of Maine workers are currently paid less than $12 an hour," says Mike Tipping of the Maine People's Alliance. Neighboring states Vermont and New Hampshire came in at 26 and 24 percent, respectively.
Washington state's Initiative Measure No. 1433 will increase the state's minimum wage to $11 per hour in 2017, $11.50 in 2018, $12 in 2019, and $13.50 in 2020. The initiative will also require employers to provide paid sick leave and follow related laws. Washington's Democratic governor Jay Inslee volunteered to help Raise Up Washington collect signatures for the initiative, and spoke out in favor of it:
"No one who works 40 or more hours a week should struggle to make ends meet," Inslee said. "And no parent should have to choose between staying home to take care of a sick child or losing a paycheck. Initiative 1433 will lift up workers and families across this state and boost our local economies."
Washington's initiative will help women in two important ways. Women are the primary breadwinners in almost half of all households with children. But women make up 60 percent of minimum wage workers in Washington state. Women are also 10 times more likely to stay home with a sick child than their male partners.
If the initiative passes, women will earn more, and will no longer have to choose between their jobs and their families.
Increasing minimum wage isn't the only progressive issue on the ballot this year:
– In Maine, Question 2 will create an additional 3 percent tax surcharge on incomes exceeding $200,000 per year. The revenue from the increase will be earmarked to help fund K–12 public education.
– In Howard County, Maryland, voters will decide if they want a citizen-funded campaign system, to boost the power of small, individual donations, and encourage more candidates to run without the burden of raising major funds. The initiative, Question A, is supported by Fair Elections Howard, Progressive Maryland, and other progressive organizations.
State and local progressive activists are leading the way and not waiting for Congress to act on important issues that impact America's working families. As a result, this year's election could yield a number of progressive victories.

Stone Temple Pilots - Stone Temple Pilots (2018) Album Review
Story posted March 21, 2018 in Arts & Entertainment by Owen Paiva.
Stone Temple Pilots have managed to maintain their iconic sound, with Jeff Gutt seamlessly replacing the deceased Scott Weiland. Stone Temple Pilots (2018) is interestingly named, as it is the second self-titled album by the band in a row. Stone Temple Pilots have never been afraid to experiment with other genres which continues here, although not in a capacity that is groundbreaking in the context of this last decades wave of alternative artists. But even though it does not offer much in the way of anything new for music going forward, Stone Temple Pilots are at least able to make the album a consistent and cohesive listen.
The first two singles, 'Roll Me Under" and "Meadow" are solid hard rock tracks, with heavy guitars, good riffs and typical vocal delivery for 2000's era hard rock, which is nice to hear in the absence of the style over the past decade. They are standard fare, and sound like any hard rock songs would from this era. "The Art of Letting Go," which feels like a tribute to Weiland, is the standout song on the album. It shows that Stone Temple Pilots are able to delve into various styles of the alternative genre and that the band has the potential to evolve further. The beautiful alternative ballad feels moody, invoking feelings of walking alone on a rainy day. "Though She'd Be Mine" is a lighter alternative song with clean guitars and Gutt providing cleaner vocals than the gruffness on the rest of the album.
A minor complaint is that some of the guitar riffs on the album sound very similar, especially in the intros of songs, with the drum, beats being guilty of the same. But at the same time, Stone Temple Pilots manages to change the sound on each song up a bit, so it is not as noticeable. Even if the sound can sometimes be very similar, it is consistently above average. This is only apparent in a few songs, but the differences are more subtle. The lyrical content isn't spectacular besides on the two atypical songs, but for hard rock, the instrumentals are more important than the vocals. The theme isn't obvious, but it feels like the band is using its creative outlet to mourn Weiland and to honor him.
When debuting a new singer, consistency and being able to maintain the current sound is more important than taking a dramatic risk. If the shift is too drastic, like Sublime with Rome, it will turn many fans aways. Stone Temple Pilots accomplish this transition beautifully, but at the cost of having a pretty generic, yet enjoyable album. The bulk of the songs stay true to the band's established hard rock sound but are similar to each other in a sometimes problematic way. This may cause songs to get stale or blend together with multiple listenings. Still, the album is not devoid of risks, with "Reds and Blues" being a very light alternative song. The hard rock songs are reminiscent of mid-2000's hard rock, and the alternative songs feel similar to the style of Foo Fighters' Concrete Gold. Jeff Gutt's vocal style is refreshing on the album since it is a cleaner delivery than some of the band's earlier works, and other 2000's hard rock bands, which makes it an easier listen.
Stone Temple Pilots showed that they have potential with Gutt going forwards, and it would be interesting to see more alternative tracks on the next album. If this album is the foundation of what the band will be going forward, then the future is stable and promising.
