The title novella of We're All in This Together tells the story of George, the teenage son of a single mother, and the only grandson of a family of union organizers in Maine. George's grandfather Henry, obsessed with the outcome of the 2000 election, has planted a giant billboard of homage to Al Gore in his front yard that he suspects has been defaced by the paperboy, now a sworn enemy. Meanwhile, George's mother is about to marry Dr. Vic, who, besides being possessed of an almost royal obliviousness, may even have voted for George W. Bush. George is a nervous accomplice to his grandfather's increasingly unhinged behavior, and a righteous adversary at war with his mother over her marriage. George's struggle is a funny and moving parallel for our times: How will we fight? All together, or all alone? Featuring four other stories that range from the concerns of an itinerant dentist with a taste for nitrous oxide to the deep shadows of old Coney Island to the exotic mysteries of a discount mall, this funny, insightful, and always entertaining collection launches the career of an extraordinarily talented writer.

Ruth Humphry, Sharon González, Eve Taylor; Family Involvement in Practice: Issues and Attitudes. Am J Occup Ther 1993;47(7):587-593. doi: 10.5014/ajot.47.7.587.
The family occupies an important role in the lives of persons with a physical, developmental, or mental disability; however, the extent and manner in which occupational therapists work with families is not known. A questionnaire concerning family–therapist involvement was sent to occupational therapists. Responses of 340 occupational therapists with a primary practice area of physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, or mental health were compared. Results indicated that the amount of contact with families of clients, reasons for family–therapist interactions, and attitudes about the family's abilities and involvement were affected by the respondent's area of practice. Respondents in all three practice areas identified scheduling difficulties as the biggest issue affecting their involvement with families of their clients. Implications discussed include the need to obtain an understanding of families' desired level of involvement and the importance of continuing education opportunities for occupational therapists in changing attitudes about working with families. This study also suggests that the role of occupational therapists with families in mental health settings needs to be better articulated and shared with professional peers.

The many health perks of good handwriting
Angel Diaz, 9, works on his paper in an English class at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School in Joliet.
(John Smierciak/Chicago Tribune)
By Julie Deardorff, Tribune Newspapers
Children are texting, tapping and typing on keyboards more than ever, leaving less time to master that old-fashioned skill known as handwriting.
So will the three "T's" replace a building block of education? It's not likely. The benefits of gripping and moving a pen or pencil reach beyond communication. Emerging research shows that handwriting increases brain activity, hones fine motor skills, and can predict a child's academic success in ways that keyboarding can't.
"For children, handwriting is extremely important. Not how well they do it, but that they do it and practice it," said Karin Harman James, an assistant professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University. "Typing does not do the same thing."
Here's how handwriting makes its mark:
Handwriting can change how children learn and their brains develop. IU researchers used neuroimaging scans to measure brain activation in preliterate preschool children who were shown letters. One group of children then practiced printing letters; the other children practiced seeing and saying the letters. After four weeks of training, the kids who practiced writing showed brain activation similar to an adult's, said James, the study's lead researcher. The printing practice also improved letter recognition, which is the No. 1 predictor of reading ability at age 5.
Good handwriting can mean better grades. Studies show that the same mediocre paper is graded much higher if the handwriting is neat and much lower if the writing is not.
Handwriting is faster. Researchers who tested second-, fourth- and sixth-graders found that children compose essays more prolifically — and faster — when using a pen rather than a keyboard. In addition, fourth- and sixth-graders wrote more complete sentences when they used a pen, according to the study, led by Virginia Berninger, a University of Washington professor of educational psychology who studies normal writing development and writing disabilities. Her research has also shown that forming letters by hand may engage our thinking brains differently than pressing down on a key.
Handwriting aids memory. If you write yourself a list or a note — then lose it — you're much more likely to remember what you wrote than if you just tried to memorize it, said occupational therapist Katya Feder, an adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa School of Rehabilitation.
Handwriting proficiency inspires confidence. The more we practice a skill such as handwriting, the stronger the motor pathways become until the skill becomes automatic. Once it's mastered, children can move on to focus on the subject, rather than worry about how to form letters.
Handwriting engages different brain circuits than keyboarding. The contact, direction and pressure of the pen or pencil send the brain a message. And the repetitive process of handwriting "integrates motor pathways into the brain," said Feder. When it becomes automatic or learned, "there's almost a groove in the pathways," she said. The more children write, the more pathways are laid down. But if they write them poorly, then they're getting a faulty pathway, so you want to go back and correct it," Feder said.
Technology may help invigorate the practice. Handwriting applications that allow users to hand-scribble notes on the touch screen rather than paper may be useful tools. Researchers are also working on software to help improve handwriting.

Lately alot of people have emailed Hot iPod News asking about charging iPod batteries and extending iPod battery life, so I decided to answer all these emails with an article on iPod battery charging/life.
iPod batteries are lithium-ion-polymer type batteries. A rather new technology first invented in the 70s, with a dry solid polymer electrolyte, but since updated and improved by using a gelled electrolyte. Current lithium-ion-polymer batteries such as iPod batteries, cellphone batteries, and batteries found in many other portable devices, are very low profile (often resembling the profile of a credit card), lightweight, and are much safer -- as they are more resistant to over-charging, and less likely to leak electrolytes.
Now that we know a little bit about iPod batteries, let's discuss how iPod batteries should be charged and looked after.
One very common misconception about iPod batteries is that they have a 'battery memory'. New technology lithium-ion and lithium-ion-polymer batteries DO NOT have a memory, and NO SCHEDULED CYCLING of the battery is required, as matter of fact, this practise - of routinely draining and then fully recharging iPod batteries - may actually do much more harm than good.
Lithium-ion-polymer batteries tipically are rated at 300-500 charges, while the iPod batteries tend to be in the higher end, closer to 500 charges. iPod batteries prefer a partial discharge rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge your iPod batteries more often. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges. Under normal usage, it is recommended to maybe once a month fully drain your ipod batteries and fully recharge them, in order to recalibrate the battery indicator.
Lithium-ion-polymer batteries should be charged when 80% drained, and stored with a 40% charge if you are not going to be using your iPod for a period of time. Store your iPod in a cool dry place. Avoid warm temperatures, as this will accelerate iPod battery aging. Do not fully deplete iPod batteries when storing, because lithium-ion polymer batteries may turn off their protection circuit.
Avoid buying economy brand chargers that boast a 1 hour charge cycle. The fastest full chage cycle time for iPod batteries is 2-3 hours.
To test the strength of iPod batteries, on a full charge, load your iPod with enough songs (not video) to play continually for the typical battery time listed in the specs of your iPod (generally 7-8 hours), and let it play though your playlist using standard settings (no EQ and normal volume). If your iPod batteries lasted considerably less than rated, you may need servicing.
If you follow these tips for charging iPod batteries, they should serve you well for a long time to come.

Les élections régionales de 2020 en Émilie-Romagne () ont lieu le , afin d'élire le président et les conseillers de la  du conseil régional d'Émilie-Romagne pour un mandat de cinq ans.

Ces élections, bien que régionales, prennent une importance nationale en raison de la montée des partis de droite dans un bastion historique de la gauche, alors même que le gouvernement italien est fortement fragilisé. Une défaite du Parti démocrate au pouvoir est par conséquent jugée susceptible de déclencher une crise politique pouvant mener à des élections anticipées.

La Coalition de centre gauche se maintient finalement au pouvoir, tandis que la participation connait une hausse notable.

Contexte
Le parti démocrate au pouvoir est affaibli depuis l'été 2019 par un scandale touchant plusieurs de ses élus, mis en cause pour leur participation avec des médecins et des travailleurs sociaux à un système de fausse accusations et de manipulations de témoignages à l'encontre de plusieurs familles afin de leur retirer leurs enfants et les confier à des familles moyennant rétribution.

La montée de la droite et de l'extrême droite dans la région et le pays en général provoque l'apparition du mouvement des sardines, qui organise de nombreuses manifestations en opposition au populisme et au souverainisme.

Les élections régionales ont par ailleurs lieu alors que le second gouvernement Conte est fragilisé au niveau national par les sondages défavorables et de multiples défections au sein des deux partis le composant. Outre la scission du Parti démocrate initiée par Matteo Renzi qui crée le parti Italia Viva, le Mouvement cinq étoiles fait face au départ de plus d'une trentaine de parlementaires, aboutissant le  à la démission de Luigi Di Maio de la tête du parti.

Une chute du gouvernement est ainsi jugée probable en cas de défaite du Parti démocrate aux élections régionales en Émilie-Romagne, bastion historique du parti pourtant mis au coude à coude dans les sondages par la Coalition de centre droit menée par la Ligue.

Système électoral

L'Émilie-Romagne est une région italienne à statut simple. Le conseil et son président sont élus simultanément pour des mandats de cinq ans. Ce dernier est élu au scrutin uninominal majoritaire à un tour tandis qu'un minimum de  de conseillers sont pourvus selon un système mixte.

Pour 40 d'entre eux, le scrutin utilisé est proportionnel plurinominal avec listes ouvertes et répartition des sièges selon la méthode du plus fort reste, avec application d'un seuil électoral de 3 %. Les électeurs ont la possibilité d'effectuer un vote préférentiel pour l'un des candidats de la liste pour laquelle ils votent, afin de faire monter sa place dans celle-ci. Le seuil électoral ne s'applique pas pour les listes liées à un candidat à la présidence ayant réuni au moins 5 % des voix.

Les  restants sont quant à eux pourvus au scrutin majoritaire plurinominal avec listes fermées. Chaque liste inclut son candidat à la présidence, et neuf sièges sont ainsi attribués en bloc à la liste du candidat vainqueur de la présidence et à celui-ci, donnant au scrutin une tendance majoritaire. Cependant, si la liste gagnante a déjà obtenu la majorité absolue des sièges via le système proportionnel, seuls cinq des neuf sièges du scrutin majoritaire lui revient, le reste étant attribué à la proportionnelle. En revanche, si la liste du président élu a obtenu moins de 40 % des sièges, des sièges supplémentaires lui sont attribués jusqu'à atteindre 55 % du total.

Enfin, le candidat en tête de liste arrivé à la deuxième place de l'élection pour la présidence est membre à part entière du conseil, ce qui porte le nombre minimum de ses membres à un total de 50.

At an invitation-only event held in Soho, the company's CEO spoke about this model's enormous potential with the journalists, business partners and fashion retail reps.
With the help of this solution from ShareCloth, apparel retail will be able to optimize its stocks, offer the clients mass customization and demonstrate much greater flexibility in general.
The problem of stocks and backlogs is proving to be an enormous challenge for the fashion industry. H&M alone declares that its backlog of unsold garments is worth $4 bln. And this is not just a business issue, it is also a question of sustainability and environmental risks.
Each year, global fashion industry produces 150 bln new items. Of this amount, at least 20% fail to sell, and at least the same number of garments end up in the landfills unworn.
At the same time, customers all over the world seek a more personalized approach, while mass production and fast fashion become outdated even as we speak.
This spring, ShareCloth has successfully tested the on-demand model, and this summer will launch the first commercial integrations with NYC-based retail and apparel manufacturers.
Here are 8 startups from this year's from PI Apparel, an event designed to explore the challenges and technologies disrupting the fashion, apparel and footwear industries.
Choosing the right apparel management software is a crucial task for a clothing label. Here we selected 30 best fashion industry tools to take a closer look.
Why fashion sustainability is important?
