NEW HAVEN — After the Board of Education rejected a $144,000 data-based training program affiliated with Harvard University, Superintendent of Schools Carol Birks repeatedly has noted that education spending is not a straightforward endeavor.
"You can't just spend it on whatever you want to," Birks said at a public forum held to explain the Board of Education budget.
But restrictions on the state-funded Alliance District grant fund and how it is spent have become controversial, as Birks weathers criticism from board members and the public on how her spending priorities benefit the school district's core functions.
Board of Education members said they believe Birks has been misrepresenting what the funds can be spent on to advocate for contracts that they see as unnecessary.
"We have more latitude than we were led to believe," said board member Ed Joyner, who expressed annoyance with the Harvard contract, seeing it as providing services that education staff should be able to accomplish on their own.
Both Joyner, who has supported Birks since she was hired, and school board President Darnell Goldson, who pushed aggressively for her hire in 2017 but became almost immediately critical of her once he succeeded, said they don't believe the grant spending is benefiting students as best it can.
In the past, Joyner criticized Goldson for "micromanaging" Birks, but more recently he assured his colleague that he was in the right for using a measure of "accountability." At the conclusion of a recent meeting, Joyner called for an impromptu executive session to discuss "a personnel matter related to the superintendent" which ultimately did not happen as Birks, who was absent from the meeting, was not made aware ahead of time.
"You can't just buy crayons," Birks said at one of the forums about the grant fund.
According to the state Department of Education, the Alliance District program is a "targeted investment in Connecticut's 33 lowest-performing districts." Those 33 districts, identified through a process determined by state law, receive a larger allocation of the Education Cost Sharing grant. The ECS grant is the state's education funding mechanism, and is meant to be awarded via a formula for districts where the local contribution through property taxes is inequitable compared to other municipalities.
The Alliance grant differs, however, in that its funds are restricted and recipients must present a spending plan to the state education department as a condition to receive the money. In New Haven's plan for an allocation of $12.6 million in 2018-19, for instance, $9.4 million was set aside for salary expenses, $859,000 for employee benefits, $2.3 million for professional and technical services and $87,164 for supplies.
At least one of the contracts in the plan — $150,000 for a contract with Integrated Wellness Group — has already ceased running in the district after the district and contractor ended their relationship.
Birks has proposed multiple contracts with outside agencies with the remainder of New Haven's Alliance funding for the current fiscal year, coming into conflict with some school board members and earning criticism from some in the community over whether the grant funding is being spent effectively.
Goldson said he had a conversation with the state education department after Birks argued a talent director position was included in the district plan and approved by the state. Goldson said he came to understand the state doesn't direct types of hires school districts must make. Although that position has not been filled, Goldson said the district should be able to make changes to the pre-approved plan accepted by the state.
The school board hasn't given specific instructions on what it wants to see with the remainder of the Alliance District grant funds, but members say they want to ensure that students have teachers in every classroom.
But in addition to the Harvard Data Wise contract, which was rejected, administrators presented the school board with a contract for a full curricular audit by Curriculum Management Solutions Inc., which was approved by the school board under the Alliance grant.
CMS was the highest bidder, offering its services for $132,000. Officials said the contract was the only one offering the full scope of services requested. Velazquez stressed the contract would need to be in place by the summer, so the district would have time to review audit results before the beginning of the 2019-20 school year.
District staff told the school board no other similar district in the state had undergone such a comprehensive audit of its curriculum in at least a decade. The Register contacted personnel at each of New Haven's District Reference Group — school districts similar to New Haven in demographics — and only Bridgeport responded to a request for comment, saying no document for a full curricular audit exists.
Velazquez said an upside of CMS is that it does not attempt to pitch districts following the audit, as it is not a curriculum vendor.
According to prior CMS audits, the company has an exclusive contractual agreement with Phy Delta Kappa's International Curriculum Management Audit Center. The district paid $50,000 to PDK, a professional association for educators led by Josh Starr, a former superintendent of schools in Stamford and a mentor for Birks, to manage the superintendent's transition into the district in 2018.
"[T]here is no personal benefit to me or others in awarding the contract to this highly qualified organization," she said. "When we awarded the contract based on the quality of the submission CMSi made, I was not aware that it was affiliated with PDK, which oversaw my Transition Team (at no cost to the public). However, that affiliation was irrelevant to the selection, and neither I nor anyone in the Administration receives any benefit from this arrangement. Rather, the school district as a whole will benefit from the quality of its work.
On the Alliance funding. Birks explains the four major areas where the district is able to spend money under its plan with the acronym "taco." This stands for: talent and management, academics, culture and climate, and operations. More specifically, those four areas are where districts communicate their priorities when submitting an annual plan to the state. For instance, New Haven said it would use the Alliance funds to "develop and maintain a human capital pipeline" as a talent priority and would rely on ACES consultants to improve literacy achievement for academic priorities.
Each expense identified under the Alliance District spending plan must refer back to one of the goals identified under the "taco" acronym. The district plan lists $9.4 million in salary costs; $2.5 million for 35 full-time behavioral interventionists refers to a climate priority to improve and integrate social-emotional and behavioral supports; and $1.7 million for 21 full time library media specialists is meant to bolster a state operations goal to improve technology integration through media and information literacy instruction.
There is no reference to the "taco" acronym on the state education department website, and a spokesman provided a list of 10 non-exclusive focus area suggestions, seven of which emphasize tiered interventions, literacy programs, and teacher recruitment and training strategies.
In Gov. Ned Lamont's proposed budget, New Haven would receive about $2.5 million more in education funding from the state in the 2019-20 school year than the current year overall, although the share of unrestricted ECS funding would decline by about $275,000.
Roy said the distribution of the Alliance District grant funding is not unusual, and she sees the state as being fairly permissive to districts to formulate their own plans when compared to programs in other states.
"In some other states, you see very strict restrictions, like new dollars need to be spent on additional learning time or only on a specific reading program; basically where the state is dictating what the district does with the money," she said.
Roy said she sees the district plan approval process as an accountability measure, ensuring the state is being a good steward of its money.
The rule that Alliance funds may not be used to "supplant" local funding has been controversial for how it has been interpreted, as well.
A spokesman for the state education department said prohibiting supplant funding would mean the Alliance funding cannot be used to offset existing operational costs. However, the state is allowing for 50 percent of the increased Alliance funding to be applied toward increasing operational costs.
Parent Jill Kelly, an organizer with the local NHPS Advocates group, which opposes school privatization and corporate reform efforts, said most education grants require a non-supplantation clause.
Some stakeholders believe the funding is not enough for New Haven's schools to fully operate.
Birks said that she, too, wants to see an ECS increase.


The actress released her first book today.
Reese Witherspoon recently hopped on the celebrity book club bandwagon, but that isn't the only thing she has going on the literary front—she released her very own coffee table book today.
Titled Whiskey in a Teacup, it outlines how growing up in the South, alongside strong and independent women, has shaped her life, and better yet, the tome is filled with Southern recipes, beauty tips (including her fail-proof hot roller technique), home decor trends, and more.
"My grandmother Dorothea always said that it was a combination of beauty and strength that made Southern women 'whiskey in a teacup,'" Witherspoon wrote of the inspiration behind the title of her text. "We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we're strong and fiery."
Over the past few months, Witherspoon has been offering her Instagram followers an inside look at the process of creating her first book. For example, back in July, Witherspoon posted a sneak peek of her book's cover. "WOW! Fresh off the printer! It's all happening!" her caption read.
Leading up to the release, the Big Little Lies star kicked off her book tour in New York City where she also made time for an appearance on Good Morning America, and to further celebrate, she's been posting photos all week.
"I hope you'll see how easy it is for you to bring a little bit of the South to your home, no matter where you live," Witherspoon shared, revealing what she hopes readers get from her writing. "After all, there's a Southern side to every place in the world, right?"

Eagles Flyin' High – Birds Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
Published at 11:47 pm on December 15, 2008
Katrina S
PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns, Asante Samuel scored on an interception return as the Philadelphia Eagles beat the struggling Cleveland Browns 30-10 on Monday for their third straight victory.
Philadelphia (8-5-1) remained a half-game behind three teams in the race for the two National Football Conference wild-card spots. The Eagles have to win their final two games — at Washington and home against Dallas — and need Atlanta or Tampa Bay to lose once to secure a playoff berth.
The Browns (4-10) have lost four in a row. At least they finally scored a touchdown on Brandon McDonald's 24-yard interception return in the fourth quarter. The Browns, who didn't reach the end zone in the previous three games, could be looking for a new coach to replace Romeo Crennel after the season.
Jason Avant had five receptions for 101 yards — his first career 100-yard game. McNabb finished 26-of-35 before he was replaced by Kevin Kolb with more than 10 minutes remaining.
Just three weeks ago, the Eagles were in shambles. People were calling for coach Andy Reid to be fired and McNabb's days in Philadelphia seemed numbered after he was benched for the first time in his career at halftime of a 36-7 loss at Baltimore.
But the Eagles answered with impressive wins over the playoff-bound Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants. They easily handled the Browns, despite squandering several opportunities.
The Eagles reached the red zone on all seven possessions with McNabb under center, but managed just two touchdowns and three field goals. They had a 17-3 lead at halftime that likely would've been bigger if it weren't for two interceptions in the end zone.
Rookie wide receiver DeSean Jackson threw the first one after taking a direct snap at the 7. Sean Jones made a diving catch to pick off Jackson's underthrown pass early in the second quarter.
McDonald then intercepted McNabb's pass on the final play of the second and ran it back 98 yards to the Eagles 7. McDonald was chased by Brian Westbrook and finally caught from behind by Hank Baskett, who was the intended receiver on the play.
Cleveland's Ken Dorsey, making his second straight start for the injured Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn, was intercepted twice.

8 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Landfills
We live in a time when technological advancements and research goes towards improving the current waste disposal systems. There has been remarkable progress towards achieving a greener environment. Many junk removal services and waste management companies are targeting to have zero waste disposed of in landfills by the year 2030.
Their main aim is to recycle junk and other waste to protect the environment. You can go here to learn more about efforts from junk removal services. As much as the green initiative is rolling in a bid to eliminate the use of landfills, they are still in use as a means of waste disposal.
They are a common waste management option in our society now. But you rarely see them as ideal waste disposal options. This is because of the known negative effects on the environment. Such include emitting poisonous gases, leaking harmful toxins to water reserves, and so on.
However, there are some fascinating facts about it that may actually surprise you! These are the 8 things you probably didn't know about landfills we think you should know:
There Aren't Enough Landfills to Manage Waste
Landfills Are Resourceful
Landfills Operate On Stringent Regulations
Technology Helps In Landfill Management
Landfills Are a Great Alternative When Other Junk Removal Methods Cannot Work
Landfills Contribute To the Economy by Providing Job Opportunities
Landfills Protect the Environment from Contaminants
You Can Repurpose a Landfill into a Green Space
While we may think that there are way too many landfills than we need, the opposite is true. The ever-growing world population keeps generating more waste that ends up in landfills. This causes more and more to get full. The more landfills fill up, the more space we need for waste and junk. There's a growing demand for junk removal which has made waste companies adopt modern solutions to counter this challenge. Despite waste collection centers and junk removal services switching to alternative disposal solutions, more landfills are necessary to help manage the disposal.
As the world seeks to meet the growing demand for sources of energy for industries and domestic use, it can be resourceful in this regard. The piles of decaying waste generate gases that you can harness to make power. Thanks to technology, a system of pipes channels the gas emissions to power generating stations. The same emissions go through refining further to produce gas. You can use these gases domestically and for industrial purposes.
Contrary to the common beliefs that landfills are just dumped sites that are barely regulated by authorities, they are strongly regulated. It is true that in most developing countries, several landfill operate without conforming to safety regulations.
However, with the growing concern for environmental safety, authorities are now putting stringent measures in place. Since most landfills have strict regulations of safely managing this waste, most of the contaminants from waste are insecure conditions. This is to protect the environment.
As technology improves, the same impacts positively on waste management, more so at landfills. This has seen modern systems and software used to remotely monitor and control conditions on landfills for smoother and safer operations.
We now have GPS tracking and cameras aiding in the identification of landfill sites to guide the compaction of the sites when needed. This has enhanced safer waste management practices like over-dumping to protect the environment.
Different kinds of waste are disposed of differently. Some go for recycling, repurposing, donations to charity, or just go to waste management centers. The remaining waste has to be disposed of somewhere. This is where landfills come in handy. Because most landfills are from voids by quarries and other construction activities, they serve as great disposal alternatives.
With so much waste generated from industrial activities, domestic waste, and junk removal, there is equally a lot of work . This means demand for more labor. From the guards, the clerical staff, machine operators, supervisors, and other manual laborers at landfills, there are more positions requiring human resources. They contribute to boosting the economy by providing many more job opportunities than we can imagine.
A lot of waste taken to landfills comes from domestic waste, construction waste, commercial waste, and junk removal services. The waste includes food items, general household waste, soil, yard waste, concrete, and construction debris, some of which react terribly. Normally if this waste were to land anywhere else without regulated management, it would pose environmental risks such as pollution. At landfills, the waste is safe to avoid negative impacts on the environment.
Depending on the volume and types of waste, It actually take a long to get filled up. But did you know that you could get green spaces out of filled-up landfills? Probably not. Whenever a landfill gets to its full capacity, people can rehabilitate it into a green space. Such include a community recreation facility or park. Talk of good things coming out of landfills!
Modern lifestyles generate a lot of waste. This waste needs proper handling to avoid polluting the environment. However, the current systems we have are still not sufficient to meet the growing demand for tons of waste. Waste management companies and junk removal services have tried to reduce waste accumulation by embracing recycling and other environmentally sustainable methods.
This has helped in making only what is necessary to end up in the limited landfills that are filling up by the day. So unless we do more in proper waste management by re-using, donating, and recycling waste and junk, landfills will remain a necessity in waste management.

5 Global Film Locations Gain Hollywood Acclaim
Jul 21, 2015Bespoke Concierge MagazineComments Off on 5 Global Film Locations Gain Hollywood Acclaim1
Hollywood's ability to transport the audience into an imaginative world shown on-screen is quite a magical experience, whether these stories unfold at the local movie theater or on a home television. When films are shot at specific locations around the world—versus being added in via green screen and video effects—this storytelling experience is intensified as it expands the viewer's horizons regarding possible travel destinations. From mysterious surroundings used for fantasy movies to settings that ground the story with realism, tourism has steadily increased as more film and television fans voyage to these scenic locales, capturing and savoring the ambience they have to offer.
Oahu's Kaawa Valley on Kualoa Ranch can be seen in movies like "Jurassic Park" and the recent hit "Jurassic World."
Oftentimes referred to as "the backlot of Hawaii," Kualoa Ranch on the island of Oahu is a prominent film and TV production location. Frank Among, Kualoa's director of sales and marketing, believes the main reason for the ranch's popularity is its diverse and plentiful settings. Additionally, movie makers appreciate the ranch's experience with film crews. "Kualoa Ranch has a well-earned reputation with the film industry of making their job of shooting on location simpler and easier," Among adds.
The CBS hit TV series "Hawaii Five-0" is currently taking advantage of what the ranch has to offer. Crews are filming from different vantage points in the area so when audiences watch the show, they will catch glimpses of sites like the Mokolii islet, more commonly known as Chinaman's Hat. In the show, the islet is seen in the background of character Mary Ann's rental. The Kaaawa Valley, on the ranch property, also made several appearances throughout the show, as did a World War II military bunker that was highlighted in the premiere's opening scene.
"Kualoa offers a very popular escorted Hollywood Movie Sites tour for $35 per person, which allows guests to visit many of the iconic locations and movie props located around the ranch," Among says. Along this tour, tourists can visit numerous places shot for "Hawaii Five-0" as well as other movies. For instance, visitors can traverse along the same route that the Gallimimus herd ran as the Tyrannosaurus rex chased after them in "Jurassic Park" (1993), as well as the movie's famed fallen tree. The scenic green landscape can also be spotted in this summer's hit "Jurassic World."
Other TV shows and films that are pointed out during the tour include "Lost," "50 First Dates," "Mighty Joe Young," "Godzilla" and "You, Me and Dupree," which all capture the tropical beauty of Kualoa Ranch in Oahu.
A "Game of Thrones" character fled from a kingdom on the Dark Hedges road.
In the past five years, nearly 20 movies have been filmed in Northern Ireland. The region is paved by various mythical country settings that especially suit the popular HBO fantasy series "Game of Thrones," which is based on novels written by George R.R. Martin. Filming mostly occurs at the Paint Hall at Titanic Studios in Belfast; however, directors also travel to other counties for specific scenes.
In Antrim, known for its majestic coastlines and cliffs, Shane's Castle has a starring role in the production. The 14th-century estate—now in ruins and surrounded by 2,600 acres of greenland—served as the King's Landing dungeons and hosted the tournament in honor of character Eddard "Ned" Stark.
While the show portrays the locations in grisly scenes, the real-life settings are quite peaceful. The Pollnagollum cave in Fermanagh, used as Beric Dondarrion's hideout in season three, can be reached by a serene pathway through the Belmore Forest that leads to a stunning waterfall, which descends into the cave. And while the name is misleading, the Dark Hedges—a stretch of road paved by beech trees that Arya Stark used to flee King's Landing—in Antrim is actually one of the most photographed avenues in Northern Ireland.
While in Antrim, visitors can also explore the Ballintoy Harbour village. The coastal nook is known as Pyke and the Iron Islands on-screen, but a small, quaint cafe recently opened up there, catering to visitors who want to explore the beach area.
Several sites in London served as filming locations for the BBC crime series "Sherlock," including Trafalgar Square.
Trafalgar Square perfectly combines elements of classic English architectural history with a touch of the modern mystique. This winning combination serves as a perfect setting for the BBC crime series "Sherlock," a contemporary update of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories.
The square's central location has been a boon for the series, especially since it connects to all other notable London landmarks, such as the famous Charing Cross Road, Buckingham Palace and the South Bank across the river from The Sherlock Holmes pub. The area is a focal point of a few of the episodes, most notably featuring the fountains and Nelson's Column in front of the massive National Gallery.
Other popular films also use London's landmarks. In the 2012 James Bond film "Skyfall," 007 (Daniel Craig) meets his weapons expert for the first time at The National Gallery. In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (2009), Voldemort's Death Eaters fly over Trafalgar Square and north on Charing Cross Road.
All of these scenic locations prove that not only is Trafalgar Square a key shooting location for a wide variety of film genres, it also provides tourists and film lovers a visual treasure when it comes to exploring popular destinations in multifaceted London.
Old Ebbitt Grill
According to Leslie R. Green, communications director at Washington, D.C.'s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, if there are any storylines that involve government, politics, espionage and the military, there is no other place to film than the District of Columbia.
"If a director's story is set in the nation's capital, they want to get the real thing to ensure their project is as authentic and believable as possible," Green explains. "Being the seat of the United States federal government, Washington, D.C., features instantly recognizable, iconic historical buildings, landmarks and monuments, which attract both filmmakers and tourists."
Some of these signature landmarks appeared in 2014's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Chris Evans' character (Steve Rogers) jogged with Anthony Mackie's character (Sam Wilson), circling the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during the opening scene. Later in the movie, the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge over the Potomac River served as the site for SHIELD's headquarters.
Director and actor Clint Eastwood also used Washington, D.C., as a significant location in two of his movies. In fact, two destinations in "Absolute Power" (1997)—Watergate Hotel and Corcoran Gallery of Art—are currently under renovation until late 2015 to cater to more visitors. One place that is open for business is Old Ebbitt Grill—a favorite eatery for presidents as far back as 1856. In the movie "In the Line of Fire" (1993), it was the go-to watering hole for Eastwood's character, Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan.
The list of movie landmarks in the D.C. area isn't complete without mentioning the 1976 classic "All the President's Men." Traveling cinephiles can soak in esteemed national treasures such as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Lafayette Square and the Library of Congress.
Matamata, also known as the Shire in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" trilogies
Although New Zealand made its presence known with Jane Campion's Oscar-winning drama "The Piano" (1993), it was director-screenwriter Peter Jackson who turned the country into a cinematic household name. "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy combined the beautifully sculpted terrain with Tolkien's literary Middle-earth.
Fans can visit key locations that still maintain that mythical ambience, such as the gardens at Fernside Lodge near Featherston, Wairarapa, which became the woods of Lothlórien. They can also stroll through Harcourt Park in Wellington, known in the movie as the Gardens of Isengard. And sitting comfortably in North Island is the location gem Matamata, which served as the Shire region of Middle-earth in both "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" trilogies. Crops, flowers and all other forms of landscaping were grown a year before shooting, and the area is now a permanent tourist attraction named Hobbiton. Travelers can peer inside Hobbit holes, eat at the Green Dragon Inn or The Shire's Rest cafe and sign up for a set tour.
New Zealand continues to be a wellspring for filmmakers and their projects. MTV recently wrapped up filming in Auckland for the fantasy series "The Shannara Chronicles," based on Terry Brooks' best-sellers, another indication that this bountiful country has proven itself as a prominent film capital of the world.

This pressure/slow cooker is unbelievable, easy to use, service was great, meals ready in no time.
Haven't owned or used a pressure cooker before. The menu booklet gave better instructions on cooking with the machine than the instruction booklet. Slow cooking worked brilliantly with a 4 hour cooking time I used a prepackaged slow cooker sauce in future I will cook from scratch. The pressure cooker function i cooked goulash using the cookbook. Had way too much liquid at end of cooking time but the meat was very tender. I have now purchased a electric pressure cookbook to get more recipes and more use from the machine.
I've only had this pressure cooker for a couple of weeks, used it twice with great results.

County unemployment rates at record low
Out of the estimated 53,200 labor force in Richland County, 1,800 were without jobs.

MANSFIELD - Richland County is making advances at lowering unemployment rates, according to recent data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
ODJFS's monthly ranking report showed that Richland County had a 3.4% unemployment rate in April. Out of the estimated 53,200 labor force in Richland County, 1,800 were without jobs. In Mansfield city, out of 17,500 in the labor force, 700 were without work, according to ODJFS's civilian labor force estimates.
The unemployment numbers for Richland County were a percentage lower than March's 4.4% unemployment rate, with an estimated 2,400 locals without jobs, an addition of about 600.
Compared to the other 87 Ohio counties, the report ranks Richland County near the middle at 40th highest in joblessness. Monroe County was highest in the state at a 6.9% unemployment rate, and the county with the lowest rate was Mercer County at 1.9%. Neighboring counties such as Crawford County had a 3.5% unemployment rate and Ashland County was at 3.2%.
Statewide unemployment estimates also were down. The unemployment rates in Ohio went from 4.1% in March to 3.3% in April.
Bret Crow, communications director for ODJFS, said in an email that the unemployment rate is "at a record low in 56 counties since 1990." The numbers for April are particularly higher than average because typically, the job numbers decrease in April and increase in June as new graduates enter the workforce, he explained.
Norm Shoemaker, president of the Mid-Ohio Area Labor Council, AFL-CIO, said he's seen an uptick in trade work, construction and manufacturing jobs opening. He credits this in part to recent large-scale building plans, such as the new hospital and airport projects, adding to local job creation.
A $13 million fire station is scheduled to replace the building at 179th Airlift Wing of the Ohio National Guard Base this year, the Mansfield New Journal reported earlier. The $17 million University Hospitals Samaritan Center facility under construction off Ashland Road at the former site of a Big Lots.

More: 179th plans $13M new fire station at Lahm Airport
More: UH Samaritan opening $17 million facility at former Big Lots site on Ashland Road
Shoemaker said his organization is encouraging high school students and young adults to enroll in apprenticeship programs.
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations supports job training for construction and manufacturing sectors through a host of apprenticeships, among other endeavors. According to its website, AFL-CIO wants to "help working people develop in-demand skills to power the next generation of American-led innovation."
When Shoemaker was asked how Richland County can add more jobs, he said it is up to local leadership to advocate for them because "things can change so fast."
Just a few weeks ago, local officials gathered to denounce plans to use military funds to fund the border wall, fearing it may jeopardize airport construction, according to previous reporting.

Shoemaker suggested that local leadership prioritize infrastructure and projects. "We would all like to see roadwork and new buildings. It adds to the workforce," he said.
There were 387 job ads posted online for production workers from March to April, according to an ODJFS report measuring help wanted online job postings in Richland and its surrounding communities. Outside of manufacturing and construction, the largest number of job listings in the area include registered nurses, retail workers, truck drivers and customer service representatives. There were 2,664 advertisements for registered nurses and 2,573 for supervisors in retail posted in a month period. The health sector in particular posted many job ads. The top three employers that advertised job openings were Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and Mercy Health.

Local business owners in retail said the job outlook seems positive, commenting on the number of new businesses that have opened in the past few years, especially in the downtown area.
Katy McClenathan, owner of Old Soul Vintage Attire and Records on Main Street, said she felt that there's an "open door" for small business. Her vintage clothing and music store opened two and a half years ago. She employees three people.
McClenathan said she looks for "good people who are willing to work hard" in potential hires. She added that she looks for people with good communication skills who are reliable and honest. Her employees also know how to post to the business' social media pages. New acquisitions are posted on Instagram and Facebook.
Chris Troupe, owner of The Boot Life on West Fourth Street downtown, employs 10 workers. He's been in business about five years. He said he also sees growth in the retail sectors and manufacturing jobs. Troupe said he looks for individuals who are "nice, humble, willing to learn, and have good character."
According to ODJFS report, most employers asked that new hires be skilled in areas such as freight, Microsoft Office, tractor-trailers, Microsoft PowerPoint, quality assurance and preventative maintenance. Almost half of the job postings ask for a high school diploma, 41.5%. Less than a quarter, 22.7%, require a bachelor's degree, data for the Northeast Ohio region showed.

Who Wears Short Shorts? Julianne Hough Does--And We Want Them.
Julianne Hough is probably still recovering from her Coachella hangover–but she's doing so very stylishly, if you ask us. The dancer/actress/triple threat just stepped out in LA wearing these Pam & Gela Daisy print shorts ($195), which we are loving for spring. The printed short shorts are a welcome alternative to the denim cut-off if you feel like you're too grown to wear jorts. Pair them with a chambray shirt like Julianne's and low booties for a just-running-errands-like-a-boss look. Easy peasy.

Our Survey Shows That B2B Marketers Are Still Stuck In Their Product Marketing Comfort Zone
Peter O'Neill
Effective content marketing is now critical to B2B marketers' success because useful content accelerates potential buyers along their journey, writes Peter O'Neill. This raises a serious content challenge for B2B marketers. Their content should be available and compelling across all touchpoints in the customer life cycle — from the awareness phase (from the vendor's point of view) through to the phase that Forrester calls customer retention and expansion.
Are B2B marketers rising to this challenge? Forrester's Q4 2012 US And Europe B2B Marketing Tactics And Benchmarks Online Survey provides us with an answer. As we make clear in this report, there is significant room for improvement. Here are some significant shortcomings that we highlighted in the responses from 328 B2B marketers:
B2B marketing content works for lead nurturing but nothing else. When asked about the effectiveness of content marketing among 16 separate marketing tactics, the rankings range from No. 15 in the awareness phase to No. 5 as a tactic for lead origination; it's in third place for lead nurturing but drops back to No. 6 in the customer retention and expansion phase.
B2B marketers create most of their content internally. The majority of the content produced is created internally either by the marketing department (44%) or by other employees (14%). Organizations that create their own content with only internal staff tend to remain fixated on their product and solution.
They still struggle with personas. Just 35% of these B2B marketers reported using personas to guide their content creation. This sounds familiar to me, as I spend many inquiries discussing personas and answering the question "Do we really need to spend time on creating personas? It looks like a lot of work." with "Yes, of course."
Of course, all of the above points are related. If you do not use a mix of internal people and external resources with a good grasp of the business issues to create content, then you do not have compelling content for the discovery and explore phases (from the buyer's perspective) in the buyer journeys. Nor do you need personas, as all you are doing is churning out the traditional B2B product marketing library of product data sheets or specifications, white papers, and perhaps a benefits brochure or two for each product launch — content that's suitable for buyers who know what they want, are comparing various solutions, and need to be nurtured with information, but not for anyone else.
In many B2B solutions scenarios, the audience even differs across the buying phases. The initial research (the awareness phase from the B2B marketer's point of view) is done by the business staff who know they have an issue to fix. They look for an answer and eventually scope a project, know that they need a certain B2B service, and then go to the department responsible for procuring the service. The business is the user, while the procuring department — which could be BT or technology services — is the buyer or source of funding. The first thing that B2B marketers should do is organize their content planning and production around the needs of their potential customers as they proceed along their buyer journeys. Forget the sales funnel: Consider the buyer journeys and put the buyers at the center of your plans. The figure below illustrates this; it's taken from an upcoming report — The Skills And Structures For L2R Success — which will form the organization chapter of the lead-to-revenue playbook, which we will launch in March.
This concept will also be the basis for my session — "Create And Deliver Engaging Marketing Content Aligned To Buyer Journeys" — at the upcoming Sales Enablement Forumon March 4. I hope to see you there.
Need more details? As always, I'd love to hear from you on this and other topics.
Always keeping you informed! Peter

/ U.S. to make E-1, E-2 ...
U.S. to make E-1, E-2 visas available to New Zealanders
New Zealand nationals will become eligible for E-1 Treaty Trader and E-2 Treaty Investor visas on June 10.
To qualify for the visas, applicants must be coming to the United States to engage in substantial trade (for E-1 visas) or to develop and direct an enterprise in which the applicant has made a substantial investment (for E-2 visas). E visa holders must intend to depart the U.S. upon the termination of their E status.
Spouses of E-1 and E-2 visa holders are eligible for dependent visas and to apply for work authorization in the U.S.
E-1 and E-2 visa criteria are available on the State Department's website.
Background: New Zealand was added to the U.S.'s list of treaty countries under the "Knowledgeable Innovators and Worthy Investors" (KIWI) Act, which President Donald Trump signed last fall. The U.S. Embassy in New Zealand announced this week that the visas would become available to eligible New Zealanders beginning June 10.
BAL Analysis: The addition of New Zealanders to the list of nationals who are eligible for E-1 and E-2 visas is intended to enhance business, trade and investment between the U.S. and New Zealand. While a nationality's eligibility for E status was traditionally based on bilateral treaties, the new trend is to allow countries access to this status based on special legislation rather than a treaty.

Today's topic of the Knitting and Crochet Blog Week Event is to discuss the seasonality of your knitting — does what you knit change with the weather or throughout the year? I think this is an excellent question and I am very much regretting the fact that as you read this I am on a boat and thus do not/did not/will not have the time to answer this question as fully as I'd like.
(Imagine rows of what look like miniature Whomping Willows covered in pale blossoms.
That photo would've set the tone of the post. Spring! Seasons! Seasonality! It all ties in nicely.
Then I'd analyze at length the patterns I see in my knitting. I'd discuss when I start certain types of projects and when I tend to finish others. I'd try to parse out the reasons for these patterns and perhaps there'd even be a table or a chart involved, because I do love me some Microsoft Excel.
hahhaa nice picture. Sorry you couldn't post more 😦 But what you did post was good, it still answered the question! Glad you are back to work on the boat.

Q: Renumbering rows in SQL Server I'm kinda new into the SQL Server and I'm having the following question: is there any possibility to renumber the rows in a column?
For ex:
id  date         name
1   2016-01-02   John
2   2016-01-02   Jack
3   2016-01-02   John
4   2016-01-02   John
5   2016-01-03   Jack
6   2016-01-03   Jack
7   2016-01-04   John
8   2016-01-03   Jack
9   2016-01-02   John
10  2016-01-04   Jack

I would like that all "Johns" to start with id 1 and go on (2, 3, 4 etc) and all "Jacks" have the following number when "John" is done (5, 6, 7 etc). Thanks!

A: The id should just be an internal identifier you use for joins etc - I wouldn't change it. But you could query such a numbering using a window function:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CASE name WHEN 'John' THE 1 ELSE 2 END) AS rn,
       date,
       name
FROM   mytable

A: I hope this helps..
declare @t table (id  int ,[date] date,name varchar(20))
insert into @t
        ( id, date, name )
values  (1,'2016-01-02','John')
,(2,'2016-01-02','Jack')
,(3,'2016-01-02','John')
,(4,'2016-01-02','John')
,(5,'2016-01-03','Jack')
,(6,'2016-01-03','Jack')
,(7,'2016-01-04','John')
,(8,'2016-01-03','Jack')
,(9,'2016-01-02','John')
,(10,'2016-01-04','Jack')

select
    row_number() over(order by name,[date]) as ID,
    date ,
    name
from
    @t
order by name

A: Instead of renumbering the id column, you can use ROW_NUMBER window function to renumber the rows as per your requirement. for e.g.:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY name ORDER BY date) as rowid,date,name
FROM tablename

All on board got going early, as we are leaving Bali today,
A light breakfast followed by a Hindu blessing of the boats before the trip west to the Coco's Keeling Islands.
Neil had to visit the yacht Club and have his passport stamped by Customs.
We also had to get rid of the Bali currency, as this will not work anywhere else. so Australian or U.S $ will both work in the Coco's .
09.30 Thomas Wibberenz called to look over our Parasail, ( KITE ) Thomas was the person who sold us that wonderfull sail in " Las Palmas"
back last November 2009. A little sewing, and repair work and all is well with the sail again.
As we said before, as soon as we repair or renew something, something else goes wrong,, now we have a little leak in our Aqua fresh
filter, nothing serious, just annoying, however, we will look at it later and see what we can do ...
10.30 We took down our bunting, and generally got the boat ready to go to sea. This is always an exciting time.
11.00hrs We slipped our shore lines and motored out with the rest of the fleet to the start area,
A couple of things were very obvious,
* the amount of parasailors on the water was amazing, being towed along behind big fast Motor boats, we were amused that
there were no collisions, with the amount of activity on the water, boats everywhere and the sky full of parachutes.
* The water pollution,, the amount of dirt and rubbish floating around was frightning, many of our fleet had their water inlets
blocked with semi submerged plastic bags and old clothes, plus tons of other shite. disgusting,
It is obvious that these lovely people use the sea as one big garbage dump.
How anyone uses it for swimming or other water activities is beyond us. and they still have huge tourism. mainly because its cheep and cheerfull.
12.00hrs The fleet all sailed North / South over the starting line and we were off once more.
The wind was ESE at 10 knots, so it was fine on our port bow, and the weather was good, with plenty of sunshine.
Lady Lisa took off like a shot out of a gun. and showed the fleet a clean pair of heels. We just about held our own.
It took us about 3 hours to clear the Island of Bali, before we adjusted our course to a WSW direction,
We made a decision to go well south of the rum line, to avoid being close to Java and also Bruce said thats where the wind will be.
so lets see. only time will tell now,
14.00hrs We had a salady lunch, and then we dug out the blue spinniker from the Stb cabin, set it all up, and eventually hauled it aloft.
It set nicely and off we went merrily bobbing along.
Later, as dusk set in, the wind increased to 20 / 25 knots and the sea got quite rough, so we dropped the spinniker again and set the geneo
and so we white sailed for the rest of the night. going more and more south of the rum line.
As darkness set in properly, Killopie 111 sent the fleet a call , concerned that they were being tailed, so the fleet , or rather the closest boats to them
closer ranks and joined Kallopie , this ended the incident and every one was happy again.
We skipped dinner, it was so rough , that no one was hungry, ( with the exception of Neil ) so he grabbed himself a sandwich.

04.00hrs / 06.00hrs.........................Terry
06.00hrs / 08.00hrs ......................Aileen ( birthday girl )
00.00hrs We had travelled 91 miles, an average of 7.58 knots.
Did you know, King George of England could not speak much english, so anyone who wanted a favour from George had to go
through one of his two Mistresses, One of these was very heavy, and the other was very slim.
It became known as having to go through " Thick and Thin " to get at George.
The _expression_ still holds today...................................................................Just thought we would share that bit of information.

This thesis explores the history of the Turkish minority of Western Thrace from 1923 until the present time. By presenting the life conditions and the problems that the minority has faced in Greece it shows what an important positive change in Greek policy towards the minority has taken place since 1991. The thesis presents the reasons of change, the way the change took place, and the new policies that were followed. The effects of globalization and of the international protection of minorities that intensified, especially after the end of the Cold War, the pressure exercised over Greece by the European Union and other international organizations, the efforts of minority politicians and of their media to present their problems, and the cultivation of a European identity among the members of the minority are among the basic factors that contributed to the "change." Through the presentation of the current situation, the reader is afforded a look into the basic problems of the minority in the present day and the discussions inside the minority. Finally, the thesis stresses the fact that the way Greece changed its policy towards its minority can work as a model for other countries, future members of the European Union (like Turkey) that try as well to improve the life conditions of their minorities.
Bu tez, Bati Trakya'daki Türk Azinligin 1923'lerden bu güne tarihini inceler. Tez, azinligin Yunanistan'daki hayat sartlarini ve karsilastiklari sorunlari sunarak, 1991'den sonra Yunan azinlik politikasinin nasil olumlu yönde degistigini gösterir. Tezde bu degisimin nedenleri, ne sekilde meydana geldigi, ve degisim sonundaki yeni politikalar sunulmustur. Küresellesmenin etkileri ve özellikle soguk savas bittikten sonra yogunlasan uluslararasi azinlik korumaciligi, Avrupa Birligi ve diger uluslararasi organizasyonlarin Yunanistan üzerindeki baskilari, azinlik politikacilarinin ve medyasinin problemlerini sunmadaki çabalari, ve azinlik bireyleri arasinda Avrupali kimliginin gelismesi degisime katkida bulunan temel nedenler arasindadir. Simdiki durumun sunulmasiyla, okuyucu azinligin bugünlerdeki temel problemlerine ve azinligin içindeki tartismalara göz atabilir. Son olarak, bu tez; Yunanistan'in kendi azinligina karsi politikalarini degistirme seklinin; azinliklarinin yasam kosullarini gelistirmeye çalisan, Türkiye gibi gelecekteki Avrupa Birligi üye ülkelerine bir model olabilecegi gerçegini vurgular.

Perekrestok pilots new small store format featuring its most popular products
December 06, 2021. TAG: Retail Trade
X5 Group ("X5" or the "Company", LSE and MOEX ticker: FIVE), a leading Russian food retailer, announces that Perekrestok will pilot a new store format with a floor area of less than 300 sq m and a limited product range comprising its bestselling products.
The new Jam Perekrestok stores will be located within a walking distance of offices and residential buildings. The first store has already opened in Moscow[1], with two more stores to be piloted in St Petersburg[2] before the year end.
The format's product range is five times smaller than at Perekrestok supermarkets, with around 3,000 SKUs consisting entirely of products that have received the highest customer ratings. Fresh categories, including fruit, vegetables, dairy products, ready-to-eat foods, pastry, etc., account for 60% of the product range. The share of private label goods is 30%, with a special focus on Zelenaya Liniya health foods. The format's pricing policy aligns with that of the Perekrestok supermarket format.
Vladislav Kurbatov, General Director of Perekrestok said: "This new format offers customers their favourite products in locations that could not otherwise accommodate a regular Perekrestok supermarket. A wide assortment of fresh and ready-to-eat foods, coffee, a café, and charging stations is what residents of major cities want to enjoy their routine shopping and save time. We have another four small format store openings scheduled in Moscow for early 2022. After that, we will decide on the potential scale-up of the project."
The pilot store has a café with a seating area separated from the shopping space, as well as Wi-Fi and charging stations available for customers to use. The store features self-checkouts for a more comfortable shopping experience. In addition, there are containers to collect batteries and plastic bags for recycling.
A 30-minute express delivery service is available to those living within 1 km from new Perekrestok Jam stores via the Perekrestok mobile app.
Currently, there are 980 Perekrestok supermarkets located in more than 145 cities and towns across Russia, with an average supermarket offering an assortment of 15,000 SKUs.

BOP and SHEPARD Host "Tell Your Story"

"We need to educate this campus before we do anything else," expressed Magnoly Maria '19 of the mission behind PC's Proud, a celebratory and educational week of events promoting LGBTQ+ support at Providence College. On Thursday, April 12, students gathered in McPhail's at 5:30 p.m. for Tell Your Story, the culmination of the collaborative planning effort of the Board of Programmers (BOP) and SHEPARD. The campus hub was decorated with everything rainbow, from balloons to confetti, and students and faculty gathered with anticipation.
Tell Your Story offered a safe space for those who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies to share their personal narratives about challenges they have faced as members of the community. To ensure that all voices were represented, BOP and SHEPARD had options: those interested in sharing their story could hop on stage and share it with the crowd, or they could submit it online for someone else to read, whether that be done with a name attached to it or anonymously.
Maria, a member of BOP and the Board of Multicultural Student Affairs (BMSA), explained that preparations for the event began long before the bulletin board debate of last month. At the beginning of the year, the BOP Diversity Committee decided that they wanted to plan an event surrounding the LGBTQ+ community because they felt that it was lacking support and inclusion on campus. "Their stories have been out there, but they've been pushed aside for a really long time," Maria explained. Beginning with their hope to make campus feel more like home for students of marginalized communities, PC's Proud developed over time and with immense passion.
"I feel that this event definitely is a good way to sum up the march," expressed SHEPARD's treasurer Sarah Kane '19 in light of last month's LGBTQ+ solidarity march. Kane explained that while the story submissions had been trickling in slowly, a flood of them were sent in on Wednesday night, lifting a weight off of the planning committee's shoulders. Prior to the event, Kane was most excited for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to be brought together by storytelling in a healthy and supported way.
Keysha Rodriguez '19, an ally at the event, explained that she felt fostering an inclusive community on campus was a prevalent and pressing issue. "These events allow the campus to see that people are here and deserve respect," stated Rodriguez as she cut a rainbow-colored ribbon that would soon be folded to create pride pins. In her opinion, exclusion has resulted from a lack of conversation and education, and events like Tell Your Story help to "get the ball rolling."
According to Kane, the next event that SHEPARD is helping to plan is CarnivALL. This celebration of all identities is set to take place on May 4 from 4 to 8 p.m., and the community can look forward to inflatables, food trucks, and much more.

It's cooler in the shade. Wear a hat. It's not the heat, it's the humidity. There's little worse than hearing the worn wisdom of managing summer heat, especially when you're already sweating. Because short of going inside and finding the AC, being outside often means being hot, period.
But the Centrifugal Pavilion of Shenzen, designed by Manuel Clavel Rojo of Clavel Arquitectos, has a legitimately clever idea to defeat the summer heat: umbrellas that are also fans.
The result is arguably the most perfect place in the world to enjoy a cold lemonade.
The centrifugal design offered a means to lift parts of the structure with no visible supports."…We charge our mobile phones wireless and we send information through the air, why should not dream about a not so far future in which our buildings are sustained by other forces, leaving gravity in a second line," the team asks.
It's tough to argue with that logic. But if energy architecture becomes a trend, and buildings start spinning and sucking serious wattage merely to sustain themselves, we might as well upgrade the fans to air conditioning–or at least attach some swings.


This past December, the School Committee passed a new policy that restricts when and how teachers are allowed to assign homework. The policy prevents teachers from assigning homework online without addressing it in class, and from assigning it over break, on snow days, or in a way that interferes with a student observing a religious holiday. While it's uncommon for a new policy to be instituted halfway through a school year, both students and teachers agree that the policy clearly has good intentions, and could help students manage stress.


"Writers Without Borders" features writers from around the world whose fiction, drama, poetry, memoir, journalism, and performance art demand an international - and, what's more, a globally minded - readership and response. Through this ongoing series, Penn's provost has challenged the students and faculty who form the literary community at the Kelly Writers House to bring to the intimate cottage at 3805 Locust writers whose voices - whether because of regional unrest, cultural turmoil, aesthetic misunderstanding, the difficulty of travel, problems of translation, etc. - have not been much heard here. The setting, always conducive to workshop-style give-and-take, seems apt for introducing these writers to the broader Penn community and to our internationalist Philadelphia-area neighbors and partners.
Support for Writers Without Borders comes indeed from the Office of the Provost, supplemented by a generous start-up grant from Seth Ginns (C'00).
The Philadelphia City Paper wrote about Cecilia Vicuña and the Writers Without Borders series in their April 9, 2008 issue.
