Straight-Up Conversation: Outgoing New Mexico State Chief Hanna Skandera
This week, longtime New Mexico schools chief Hanna Skandera wrapped up her final day after nearly seven years in office. As one of the nation's longest-serving state chiefs, Hanna has been in the middle of some of the fiercest debates over contemporary school reform. Given a background working in senior roles with former governors Jeb Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger and with then-U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, Hanna came to the job with hard-won experience and a clear point of view on how to pursue reform. She and I recently had a chance to chat about her experience, successes, challenges, mistakes, and lessons learned.
Rick Hess: You're wrapping up nearly seven years as state superintendent in New Mexico. When you look back at your tenure, what would you point to as the two or three accomplishments of which you're proudest?
Hanna Skandera
Hanna Skandera: As a state, we've pulled together over a sustained period of time and committed to a belief system about what is possible for our students, regardless of zip code—this is the fundamental paradigm shift of which I'm most proud. We've confronted low expectations head-on, both in policy and in practice. This manifested in new systems—from School Grades to new College-and-Career Ready assessments, to meaningful teacher evaluation—things that we can say changed the landscape by telling the truth and putting students and families at the center of all decision-making.
But there are other things—to name a few—that come to mind that have gotten less attention than those three: Ensuring that our students from low-income communities can take as many AP exams as they want to by offering state-supported fee waivers…and then watching AP access soar. Launching Principals Pursuing Excellence in partnership with our districts and watching those 84 schools, all historically low-performing, double and triple the statewide average in math and reading growth…and seeing entire districts in the northwest corner of the state be transformed because of their local leadership embracing change.
Dramatically reducing the time spent on state assessments and thus increasing instructional time that will result in more kids being on grade-level. Rapidly expanding Pre-K—more young kids than ever before are now enrolled in an early childhood program. And forming groups like the Secretary's Advisory Council, Teacher-Leader Network, and New Mexico Dream Team so that our teachers have new opportunities to have a substantive voice in policy and grow in their craft in new ways.
RH: What is the toughest part of the job? And, related to that, what was the most challenging change you pushed?
HS: When first arriving in New Mexico, I traveled around the state and heard from many people that our children didn't stand a chance because they were poor and came from tough backgrounds. There was a sense of hopelessness. I knew right then and there our biggest challenge would be changing the mindset.
In order to implement real change in education, you need your communities on board. But when most everyone has been doing things a certain way for decades, the hardest part is taking a different approach to their children's education. We needed everyone to have the fundamental belief that our kids—regardless of background, zip-code or challenge—can learn and will succeed.
Now, when I travel around the state, I'm noticing a true sea change. People see that even as we are raising the bar, our students are meeting the expectations. Overall, the conversation around education is more hopeful as people begin to realize that New Mexico is on the rise.
RH: You'd worked at the U.S. Department of Education and as a high-ranking education official in Florida and California. Given all that, did anything surprise you about becoming state chief? How is leading K-12 in New Mexico different from doing that job in those other places?
HS: When it comes to education reform—regardless of position—there is always going to be noise and distraction and people that choose to focus on the gossip and not the substance. But I wasn't surprised by how difficult it is to challenge the status quo. Change is tough, but if you lose sight of your bottom line—which is our kids and their success—you won't deliver.
RH: What do people fail to appreciate when it comes to pushing school improvement from the state level? And, when you think about it, how much of the job is educational expertise, how much is personality, and how much is politics?
HS: People fail to recognize that many of our systems are set up for adults—and that they have been set-up for adults, by adults, over the past century. Many of these systems have the wrong incentives, usually focusing on adult comfort or institutional tradition over student success.
Of course, educational expertise and personality matter. I always say you have to have the skill and the will, but that's just the beginning. The average person in my role lasts 18 months; you've got to have the grit and courage to stick it through to get to the real conversation about our kids.
RH: What are one or two mistakes you've made—things you'd tackle differently if you could do them over again? I guess, put another way, what have you learned on the job?
HS: If you had asked me seven years ago if it was my job to reach teachers and principals directly, I would have said "No." As a state chief, the chain of command typically goes through the superintendents. But I realized quickly that was the worst game of telephone, ever. There was a lot of confusion out there about what changes were taking place, and voices in the classroom were not getting back up to my office. So in order to open up those lines of communication, we decided to launch nearly 20 new teacher-leader initiatives aimed at equipping, empowering, and championing our educators. Just to give you one example, we are approaching our 2nd Teacher Summit. This year, one thousand teachers signed up in just 72 hours. These initiatives are paving avenues for our educators and leaders to engage in policy changes and have access to good information.
RH: Dozens of states have tackled teacher evaluations during the past seven years. For all the commotion, these efforts yielded little noticeable change in most states, with 97 or 98 percent of teachers still rated effective even when no one thinks that offers an accurate picture of what's happening in classrooms. In New Mexico, though, you've seen much more significant changes in what's coming out of teacher evaluation and how that's being used. Talk a bit about your experience on this score; what did you all do differently, and why do you think your results look so different from most other places?
HS: Everyone knows that we need strong evaluation systems; it's common sense, not controversial. The real controversy around teacher evaluation should be watching states implement half-heartedly and then back away for political reasons—and not putting students first. What did New Mexico do differently?
One, I think we were clear that measurable student academic growth would be the main measure of impact, fifty percent, and then we spent a lot of time explaining how our student-growth model works. Second, I think we anticipated the degree of cultural change that was on the horizon, and we didn't fool ourselves into thinking that status-quo actors like our teachers unions would see the light. We weren't surprised by their reactionary positioning and we refused to lose our singular focus amidst being mired in various challenges. Third, we worked hard to improve the quality of our principal training and credentialing, year-after-year, to ensure accuracy in classroom observations. Fourth, we immediately linked the outcomes to meaningful systems of accountability and support; we didn't delay integration. Lastly, New Mexico has been in the bottom quartile for a long time, and so we built on a sense of urgency and crisis. Improving classroom instruction is at the core of what we needed to do in order for our students to succeed at higher-levels.
New Mexico is certainly a state with deep conviction about this, and that ability to stay the course over time is now paying off for our teachers and students. We are now able to reward some of our strongest teachers with new opportunities and compensation—and we're now able to better support our teachers who have areas of growth that merit further coaching and development.
RH: You were one of the nation's longest-serving state chiefs. Given that, what advice do you share with newer state chiefs about how to succeed in the role?
HS: First, wake up every morning asking, "What's in the best interest of kids?" Never waiver. Adult comfort shouldn't drive decision making. Second, build a great team. Your team matters way more than you do. One thing people might not expect is how diverse our senior team is in terms of background and perspective, but that's what you need. And think about succession, in every role, at all times. For example, I'm thrilled that Christopher Ruszkowski joined us 15 months ago and is now taking the reins as Acting Secretary. You want to see everyone on your team grow into new opportunities. Third, know where you're starting from; every state is at a different place in term of what reforms are needed. Build from there, but don't overlook the basics at the state-level in terms of the core responsibilities that only the SEA can do.
RH: More generally, you've been doing this work for a while now—as an unapologetic champion of accountability, school choice, the Common Core, and much of the contemporary "reform" agenda. What have you learned in the course of fighting for and implementing these reforms? What are one or two places where you think reformers get in their own way, and what are a couple places where you've really seen them get it right?
HS: At times, people can get stuck on measuring stuff and never really get to the real conversation. We can't stop at accountability; that's only the foundation. But we can't start without accountability either. When we get it right it's because of the how and not the what: it's because we obsess over the implementation details. We get in our own way when we don't see the big tenets through over a five to ten year period, and when folks think that a bill passing is the work. It's only the beginning of the work, usually.
This has become the most challenging and rewarding experience I've ever had. I truly love this state; this has become a state I call home. I am proud of how far our students have come. I'm also so thankful to Governor Martinez for standing on the line so that my team and I could stand on the line to make real changes and ensure more kids are college and career ready. I believe in our children, and I am so proud to have served this state. I have great confidence for what is ahead for our children, families, and for the state of New Mexico.

Different types of watch movement
The beauty of a luxury watch is in the movement: how it actually tells the time. It's basically the engine of the watch. There are three main styles of watch movement in modern watches: quartz, automatic, and mechanical.
Mechanical watches are wonders of engineering. Most mechanical watches today are automatic, or self-winding, which means they're wound by the wearer's natural movement. The second hand in a mechanical watch moves in a smooth sweeping motion. In order to activate those moving parts and keep the watch accurate, mechanical watches store power mechanically—without the aid of a battery, then releases power in a controlled manner to turn the gears.
The movement of a mechanical watch must be regularly maintained and inspected in order for it to perform at its optimum level. Models equipped with a mechanical movement should be serviced at least every three years.
An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that makes manual winding unnecessary. A watch with automatic movement is self-winding, using the movement and energy from the wearer's wrist is transferred automatically to cause a rotor to rotate and power the watch.
A quartz watch is powered by a battery and a tiny synthetic quartz crystal. The battery emits an electric current, which oscillates the quartz crystal at a precise frequency. While they are more accurate than mechanical timekeeping devices, quartz watches lack the intricacy of a mechanical watch.
Basic watch terminology you need to know
When you've decided which style of watch you want, you might want to learn what all the words mean. The world of watchmaking and watch terminology is very complex, so we hope this helps!
A bezel is an outer ring of a watch that protects the crystal. Dress watches might have a small, plain bezel, while sportier watches such as divers and aviators might have larger, rotating bezels capable of measuring elapsed time.
The bracelet is what attaches the watch to your wrist. When made out of leather, it's referred to as a strap. In order to be considered a bracelet, the band must be made of metal.
The case of a watch is the housing for the dial and movement. Watch cases are most often made of stainless steel. Watch cases come variety of different shapes and sizes, but the most common is round. Case width and thickness are two common measurements to look out for.
A chronograph is a special feature on a watch that offers stopwatch and timing functionality in separate windows on the watch face. Designer chronographs can have either automatic or quartz movement.
Complications are elements of a watch dial that offer functionality outside of the basic time display. A date display, usually positioned at 3 o'clock, is an example of a complication. A chronograph is also considered a complication.
The crown is the small knob on the side of a watch, usually positioned at 3 o'clock, that's used to set the time and date.
Crystal is the transparent cover material that sits above the dial, usually a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, designed to protect the watch from dirt and water and reduce glare. Most modern Swiss timepieces have sapphire crystal.
The dial is the face of the watch, where the hands and markers live.
Escapement
An escapement is a mechanical link that periodically releases the gear train to move forward, advancing the clock's hands.
Typically Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, baton or dot markers to indicate hours from 1-12.
The hands are the markers on the dial that indicate time. Most watches have at least three hands to show hours, minutes, and seconds.
A geometric line pattern on the etched dial of the watch.
These are small sapphires or rubies that act as bearings for the gears to help reduce friction. The jewel is in the movement of a watch.
Many watches have hour markers and hands that glow-in-the-dark, allowing the wearer to see in murky or dark spaces like the deep water or night skies.
Lugs are the pieces of metal extending from the 12 and 6 o'clock positions of the case that help hold the watch strap or bracelet to the case.
This keeps track of the current phase of the moon including full, half, quarter, and new moon; sailors used it originally to gauge tides.
This is the watch's engine. It powers the watches functions and keeps its time, and is located within the case.
Oscillating Weight
For automatic watches, this weight uses gravity to help wind the watch. As a user wears it on their wrist, the watch continues to wind without manual intervention.
This is the most complex calendar available on a watch. It features the month, day, date, year, and even takes leap year into account.
This is an attachment to the case that would control the watch functions, such as a date adjustment or chronograph.
Subdial
A subsidiary dial, or subdial, is any smaller dial within the larger dial. Chronograph watches often have two or three subdials, which measure running seconds, minutes, and hours.
Sweeping Seconds Hand
Instead of jumping with every tick, a sweeping seconds hand moves smoothly across the dial or subdial. Most mechanical watches, like Rolex, will have a sweeping second hand.
Tachymetre
This is a feature on a watch that allows the user to measure speed and distance.
The tourbillon is one of the most valued features in luxury timepieces. The tourbillon (French for "whirlwind") is used to average out the effect of gravity when the watch is stuck in different positions. The escapement is housed in a rotating cage that constantly moves.

The number of tigers has increased in the latest census of tigers in Bhopal and its surroundings. Counting done from the 5th February to the 26th March this year, the movement of 19 tigers has been recorded.
This includes 13 adults and 6 cubs. According to Landscape, Presence of only one tiger had been recorded in Bhopal and Sehore forest's divisions in the census of the year 2014.
In 2018 counting, 45 adult tigers and 18 cubs have registered their presence in the Obedullahganj division and in Ratapani Sanctuary whereas only 16 tigers have confirmed their presence in 2014 counting. Wildlife Headquarters has released data on the presence of tigers in geographical mapping prepared by State Forest Research Institute.
It has been reported in the data that in 2014 counting, two tigers were found in 171 beats of Bhopal and Sehore forest division whereas the movement of 19 tigers is recorded in 98 beats out of 171 beats of Bhopal and Sehore forest division in the counting of this year.
Tigers have been counted in 608 beats of Bhopal Forest Circle. Out of those 158 beats depict the movement of tigers. A new thing has come out from the trends released by the Forest Department that the tiger are appearing in such areas where they never existed which includes Prempura, Samardha, Amla, Bhanpur, Veerpur beats.
Chief Conservator of Bhopal Forest Circle Dr SP Tiwari says that many efforts have been made to protect the tigers and that is why the movement of tigers has increased. Dantkho once located in Ratapani Sanctuary village has been displaced. The grassland is also being prepared for the herbivorous wild animals here.
Apart from this, the corridor for the tigers is being prepared from Kerwa to Omkareshwar. The villagers are being compensated for the loss of their cattle which were preyed by tigers. This amount of compensation has also been increased. He told that some time ago Mendora hill used to be deserted.
Now a tiger friendly atmosphere has been created here by planting the trees. Water pits have also been constructed for tigers for drinking water. The presence of wild animals including Chital, Sambhar, Nilgai, Wild Pig and other have been registered with the trap cameras which are installed here.

The front-row riders for tomorrow's Aragon Grand Prix were within just 0.079 seconds of each other, with Marc Marquez among them in third place. Further demonstrating how tight things were in today's qualifying session, Dani Pedrosa completed the second row, just 0.343 seconds off poleman Jorge Lorenzo.
Marc was actually on top at the end of his first run and just lost the chance to defend his leadership when he went a bit wide in turn 12 during his final qualifying lap. However, the Championship leader has shown a consistently fast race pace during the weekend and tomorrow will again try to fight at the front in his home race.

Ousted Former President Joseph "Erap" Ejercito Estrada made his announcement the other day about him running again for presidency this May 2010 election. To those who didn't know, he was convicted of corruption after being ousted in a popular uprising in 2001. I couldn't help but smirk as I was listening to his speech.
"This is the last performance of my life and I will not fail you," Estrada said in front of the cheering crowd in Tondo, Manila, where he announced his plan to run in the 2010 elections, with Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay as his running mate.
Yeah right. He is definitely running despite his age, huh?
He said he was confident of winning on May 2010 elections during his interview in Magandang Umaga Bayan, a morning show in ABS-CBN. And that he's eligible of running as president in May 2010 despite the election ban against him by Malacanang.
He's actually babbling and all during the interview. It felt like he's going to have a stroke anytime soon! Lol! He's more than 70 years old now and people doubt if he can make it to the election.
I personally don't like him even before he was the president. And hearing him talk make me sick. I definitely don't want a babbling president. Not at all!
why do people won't learn from the mistake they had before? what's with him that makes all these senator encourage him to run for a president again?????
That's what I don't understand either NovaS. Lol! Let's just hope he won't win the next election.

Mountain lion sightings reported around Village
By Jackie Brown
Originally Published: April 12, 2007 4 a.m.
Though mountain lions were reported in three sightings in Grand Canyon Village last week, park mammal biologist Eric York said the normally elusive big cats are no more active than usual.
"What usually happens, and it happens everywhere, is that once people get mountain lions on their mind, the sightings increase whether they're real or not," he said.
Two lions were reported together at Mather Point around midnight on April 2 and another was reported in the village area the next day.
Based on radio collar monitoring of five lions, including a new one tagged last month, the cats do frequent the village though in most cases they avoid people. In fact biologists confirmed the presence of a lion near second tunnel on Bright Angel Trail not by sighting her but by a killed deer she left behind.
"The mountain lion was there. She only fed on it at night and then moved about a mile away during the day when there were people around," York said. "She did the right thing. She did what we wanted her to do."
He said the real risk to humans was when the condors found the carcass and dragged it on the trail to feed, kicking rocks loose to potentially fall on hikers below.
The sighting of two lions was unusual, because mountain lions tend to be solitary and occupy territory that has minimal overlap with that of their neighbors. One male, who's been tracked for three years, has a 500-mile range that stretches to Desert View, Valle, the Havasupai reservation and Pasture Wash. Most males have a smaller range somewhere over 200 square miles while females claim about 100. Females will share their territory with their cubs for about two years before they disperse.
"Resident cats hold territory on the South Rim. The males are all packed in and the female we just tagged has been in the middle of the park and around town," York said.
He warned that if you see a mountain lion, don't run or otherwise give it a reason to believe you are prey.
"When a mountain lion sees you, he hasn't decided what to do about you yet," he said. "Cats are curious and are constantly weighing their options trying to decide whether that's food or that's dangerous, or both."
He advises an aggressive response, making yourself look as big as possible, shout and throw objects if they are available. Don't stoop and pick them up, York warns, or you will appear smaller and less imposing to the lion. Parents should also pick up children so they don't appear as a smaller, inviting target for lions.
"Make sure they know you're a person," he said. "Do everything you can do to prove that you're more dangerous than they are. Use your jacket or a backpack to make yourself look bigger. Be the aggressor."
Problem lions who show too much curiosity about humans are hazed first and if that doesn't deter them, are captured and relocated  an effective bit of hazing in itself, said York.
Report mountain lion sightings to park Dispatch at 638-7805. York would also welcome mountain lion photos. Send them to eric_york@nps.gov.

UFC 253 Results
MMASucka provides you with UFC 253 results as two titles will be on the line. First, in the main event, Israel Adesanya puts his title on the line against the undefeated Paulo Costa. Plus, a new champion will be crowned at light heavyweight after Jon Jones vacated the title. Facing off for the vacant title will be former title challenger Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz.
Once Adesanya entered the UFC in early 2018, he quickly earned an interim title shot with five straight wins. In that fight, he faced off against Kelvin Gastelum, winning by unanimous decision to become the interim champion. Following his win over Gastelum, Adesanya was matched up with the champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 243. Adesanya would become the champion that night as he knocked out Whittaker in round two. Since then, he has one title defense with a UD win over Yoel Romero. As for Costa, he started off his UFC career with four straight TKO finishes. Those wins came over Garreth McLellan, Oluwale Bamgbose, Johny Hendricks and Uriah Hall. He saw a third round for the first time in his career in his most recent outing. That fight came against Yoel Romero as Costa defeated him by unanimous decision.
Earlier this summer, Jon Jones has announced that he was vacating the light heavyweight title. Now, the vacant title is on the line between the last man to face Jones, Dominick Reyes, and Jan Blachowicz. Before facing Jones, Dominick Reyes put together impressive finishes over Chris Weidman and Jared Cannonier. He also earned hard fought decision wins over Volkan Oezdemir and Ovince Saint Preux. As for Blachowicz, he has put together three straight good looking wins. The first of them was last summer as he knocked out Luke Rockhold at UFC 239. Then he would face off against another former middleweight in Jacare Souza, defeating him by split decision. In his most recent fight, Blachowicz took on Corey Anderson in a rematch of their 2015 fight that Anderson won. This time, Blachowicz got the win, finishing Anderson by knockout in the first round.
Kicking off the main card will be a featherweight fight between Hakeem Dawodu and Zubaira Tukhugov. Each of them enter the fight coming off recent wins in their last outing. Following that will be a women's bantamweight bout between Ketlen Vieira and Sijara Eubanks. Vieira looks to rebound from her first loss while Eubanks looks to improve to three wins in a row. Finally, before the vacant light heavyweight title meeting will be a flyweight fight between Kai Kara-France and Brandon Royval. Royval attempts to win his second straight UFC fight in just as many outings while Kara-France also looks for his second straight win.

Rick Astley "Rick-Rolls" Yung Gravy In New Lawsuit For Publicity Rights Infringement


"Well, Matthew, what would it be like if Mommy and Daddy only forgave you halfway when you made us angry?" He looked at the carpet and grimaced. Another huge sigh.
One thing that happens quite often at our house is Michael falling asleep on the couch. He works long hours and comes home with just enough time to eat dinner, relax for a bit on the couch, and then totally crash there. When we first got married and he was in medical school, I thought this was adorable. Usually this would happen while we were lying on the couch together watching TV with him against the couch holding me. I'd ask something like, "Babe, you ready for bed?" and he wouldn't answer me and I would tilt my head and look up at him fondly thinking, Awe, he's working so hard that he can't even make it to bed. Sweet, right? Typical first few years of marriage stuff. Before kids and during honeymoon stage stuff. Eye-roll. Now, I'm getting the kids in the bath, cleaning dirty dishes from dinner, getting the kids in pajamas, mopping the water spilled on the bathroom floor ("It was the mean old crocodile, not me, Mom!") while Mike has fallen asleep to ESPN in the background. Now my thoughts are, Are you serious? He's asleep. I can't see why he's sleeping already. It's not like his days are longer than mine. Wasn't it his turn to take the kids to bed? Well if I had a chance to sit down maybe I'd fall asleep too! It's a good thing I didn't already put something pretty on. Geesh!
I know, as I write this I'm giggling to myself because it's silliness. But there are nights when this can make me really angry and there have been times when I have woken up in the morning and I don't want to hear the redundant, "I'm sorry, about last night, Lis. I don't even know what happened," and I don't even want to talk to him. It's crazy when I think about it, but why does it make me so angry? It's because I haven't totally forgiven him for the times before. Suddenly I'm not mad because he fell asleep tonight, I'm mad because he fell asleep on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and it's Saturday and there he is snoring and twitching on the couch.
I've heard sermons about how it's possible to forgive and not forget, but I feel that if I've truly forgiven someone then that instance shouldn't be the first thing I think about when they've made me angry again. Maybe it's okay not to forget something, but I don't think it should be remembered so easily either. After all, God doesn't remember mine.
Through a fog of past confrontations.
Through the echo of hurtful conversations.
Through a shattered mirror reflection.
Clear the fog, Lord so I can see my friend without past hurts.
Mute the volume of past arguments so I can hear new words.
Mend my broken relationships, Father, but erase my memory.

The Jersey sound figurehead plays a house set inspired by his legendary Kiss FM show and the golden era of New York radio.
Anyone interested in house music history will know the name Tony Humphries, the resident DJ at Newark's Zanzibar club. Credited with pioneering Jersey's soulful, gospel-tinged take on house music, with an emphasis on bass and deep dancing energy, Humphries created not just a sound and a space, but an enduring feeling that is still sending waves through clubland today. After an encounter with Shep Pettibone, who played a mix of Humphries' on New York's Kiss FM, his subsequent influential (and heavily bootlegged) radio show popularized the Jersey house sound, and opened the door for countless tracks, mixes, and remixes. Humphries has worked in the studio with classic R&B bands like Black Ivory, as well as on Mtume's much-sampled "Juicy Fruit", and has reinvigorated many an R&B star's career with his deft dancefloor prowess, working with everyone from Chaka Khan and Donna Summer to the Jungle Brothers and Queen Latifah. A true legend, Humphries has paved the way for the current crop of house producers, before they were a sparkle in their mother's eye – in fact, his soundtrack of love and positive vibes has probably even set the scene for many a house fan's inception. With this special Revolutions On Air set, named after the acclaimed RBMA documentary series, the master mixer pays homage to the halcyon days of New York radio – live in the mix!

Gaffer tape (also known as gaffer's tape or gaff tape) is a heavy cotton cloth pressure-sensitive tape with high-quality synthetic rubber adhesive properties. It is widely used in theatre, photography, film/television production, and industrial staging work for taping down cables or other short-term set-ups. It's a variant of duct tape and designed for temporary use. Once it's removed it doesn't leave a sticky residue. Gaff tape is also capable of enduring heat of at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
We use Gaffer tape constantly throughout our warehouse and on-site at shows and festivals. It's our go-to tool for case labeling and general stage organization.


In August 2015, Harvey CEO initiated a partnership between rental industry veteran, Jeff Black, and a Midwest-based private equity firm to pursue a new platform investment in the rental industry. Jeff's prior experience includes serving as the President and CEO of Classic Party Rentals, the Nation's largest event and tent rental company, as well as a 17 year career with Aramark Uniform Services, a provider of uniform rental, leasing, and purchase programs. In December 2015 we made an investment into La Tavola Fine Linen Rental, a leading provider of ultra-specialty linen in the United States, recapitalizing the company to support continued growth.
Herb and Betsy Stone founded La Tavola Fine Linen Rental in 2007 as a boutique linen rental provider. La Tavola's mission to dependably and creatively serve clients throughout key locations in California filled a niche in the marketplace for well-designed, high-end linen rentals with unparalleled service. Today, La Tavola is known as the established standard and one of the most respected premium linen rental companies in the United States, touting the widest breadth of ultra-specialty products. The Company has eight showrooms in California including Beverly Hills, Healdsburg, Napa, Newport Beach, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Los Gatos, as well as showrooms in Scottsdale, Arizona and Dallas, Texas. Additionally, La Tavola offers an on-time delivery service for clients nationwide.
Jeff and the team now plan to aggressively grow La Tavola through a combination of expanding geographies via greenfields and select acquisitions, enhancing the Company's capital efficiency, and by launching complimentary product offerings, solidifying La Tavola's position as the national leader in fine linen rental services.

People with disabilities are standing up and demanding systems changes that allow for greater opportunities for economic self-sufficiency, with employment being the key to making that happen. OCDD is responding by launching an Employment First Initiative, effective July 1, 2011. Louisiana is one of 23 states participating in the State Employment Leadership Network (SELN), a joint initiative of the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services.
OCDD is partnering with such agencies as LA Workforce Commission, LA Rehabilitation Services, Medicaid, Office of Behavioral Health, Department of Education, The Developmental Disabilities Council, the Advocacy Center, LSU Human Development Center and LA Economic Development, to name a few. These agencies are part of a larger consortium known as Work Pays, a group of agencies, consumers and businesses collaborating and working to improve the lives of people with disabilities through promoting employment for all people with disabilities.
Employment will be the primary outcome for all persons receiving OCDD services who are of working age. Employment is characterized by typical jobs with competitive compensation that are fully integrated into the workplace. A more thorough implementation statement with further detailed definitions, desired outcomes and operational procedures will be released as they are finalized.
To learn more about the Employment First Initiative please visit http://www.seln.org/about. If you have any comments, questions or would like to become involved in this initiative, please contact Rosemary Morales, OCDD Program Manager, at 225-342-8901 or rosemary.morales@la.gov .

Student Creates 3D Printer Hand and Gives 7-Year-Old a New Grip on Life
Prosthetic limbs can cost thousands of dollars. For children born with missing parts of limbs, this can sometimes mean learning to work around their disability rather than having the chance at achieving the full use of a limb.
But not for Holden Mora.
This 7-year-old boy has one of the most innovative prosthetics ever made, and at only a fraction of a fraction of the price of conventional prosthetics.
Made with a 3D printing machine, the prosthetic hand is made of plastic. The total cost is somewhere around twenty dollars, and even Holden—who loves to show off his new hand—knows how amazing that is.
"So, when I bend my hand in like this, it closes. When I bend it like this, it opens," he said, showing off his device to CBS reporters. "It's an amazing twenty dollars. And normally materials cost a lot. Like a thousand dollars."
Created by a college student, the 3D printed hand was fabricated using the instructions posted on the Internet blog, "Cyborg Beast" and then customized to fit Holden.
"So, the way this works is that it straps on to Holden's hand and on the end of his forearm," Senior Jeff Powell, biomedical engineering student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told CBS. "When he moves his wrist in, the fingers close and when he moves his wrist out, the fingers open."
Powell had learned about Holden and his family from a college professor and was inspired to find a way to give Holden what most of us take for granted.
"To be able to eat dinner while holding a knife and a fork at the same time, to be able to grab onto his scooter or bike with two hands, maybe even swing a baseball bat if we get it strong enough," Powell said. "I don't want him to be limited by a condition that he was born with. It's about enabling him to do anything that he wants to do."
But for Holden and his parents, it's about so much more than just the use of a hand.
"He's less likely to be underestimated," Holden's father, Peter, told CBS. "When he has a device like that, people won't look at him and be like 'Oh, you can't do that.'"
"There are times when he doesn't necessarily like for kids to ask him about his hand," his mother, Bridget, told CBS. "And because the 3D printed hand is so cool, I think that gives him the confidence to talk about his hand, which I love."
Because of the amazing success with Holden's hand, Powell has started a crowd-funding campaign, the Helping Hand Project, to raise money so that other children can get the device as well. Eleven children are already waiting, and Holden says that there should be many, many more.
"Well, I am actually really happy," Holden said. "I think it's true that when I get the best hand, they'll make more like it for those kids and then they'll have the best kind of hand, too."

Dirt Candy
Dishes like Peking Peas at Dirt Candy in New York City highlight plants as the main event.
Winning Plant-Forward Menus
Plant-forward menus aren't just a trend. More plants also means more sustainability—and sometimes even lower cost.
September 2018 Laura D'Alessandro
Chefs around the world are putting more plants on the menu, no longer just as inventive sides and inspired small plates—as the main event. Entrees like cauliflower steaks, elegantly sautéed mushrooms, and flavorfully seasoned legumes are leading the way.
The shift is both to meet consumer demand and address sustainability hurdles. Plant-forward menu choices, when informed by culinary expertise, can transform palates and spur the next generation of innovation, according to The Culinary Institute of America and The Harvard School of Public Health through a joint initiative called Menus of Change.
Being plant-forward isn't necessarily about taking all the meat off the menu, according to the CIA and Harvard's definition. For chefs leading the charge, it's a simple shift in perception that brings vegetables into the spotlight while less sustainable ingredients take supporting roles.
Letting Vegetables Lead
"You have to stop thinking about vegetables as a side," says Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of Dirt Candy in New York City. When Cohen opened the restaurant in 2008, her goal was always to let vegetables lead.
"I want each dish to explore as many different versions of vegetables as possible, like our brassica dish that has cauliflower, mustard, Brussels sprouts, and every version of that vegetable family, all in one dish."
Cohen had set out to make Dirt Candy the Peter Luger's of vegetables, and her advice to other restaurateurs for featuring more plant-forward dishes stays in the same vein: make vegetables as craveable as possible, as if they were pizza or foie gras.
"I find a lot of inspiration in seeing what other cuisines do with vegetables, like Korean or Mexican cooking. Or I look at a technique like smoking or making pâté and try to think about how to apply that to a vegetable."
As a result, Cohen says her gateway into plant-forward cuisine wasn't a specific vegetable, but rather the way other cuisines treat vegetables.
"When I lived in Hong Kong, it blew my mind about what you can do with vegetables and how flexible they could be," she says. "Take a look at any of the major regional cuisines in China, or look at Chinese temple cooking, which employs really elaborate meat-free dishes. It's a totally different approach to cooking vegetables."
Going Beyond Granola
Like Dirt Candy, abcV in New York City is a fully plant-based restaurant. For Neal Harden, the chef de cuisine, the restaurant's menu is an extension of how he's eaten for most of his adult life. Harden was asked by renowned chef and restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten to lead abcV's kitchen in 2015. Harden had previously led the kitchen at Pure Food and Wine, a well-loved and now closed plant-based restaurant in New York City.
When Harden started out, there weren't a lot of chefs focusing on plants. As a result, consumers looking for more plant-forward dining options could expect little more than a "crunchy granola" style restaurant.
"Years ago, if you had a so-called plant-based meal, you'd be in kind of a crunchy granola place with a lot of knickknacks and brown rice," Harden says. "Now you can have a beautiful meal that's actually made by a skilled chef—vegetables from the market prepared with care."
But sometimes, in the restaurant business, artfully preparing vegetables can get a bad rap. Vegetables may be cheap, but the preparation can take a lot of time. For that reason, Harden says, food cost savings with plant-forward menus tend to balance out with labor.
"Everyone always says that if you don't have proteins on your menu, it must be so much cheaper," Harden says. "The food cost is generally, of course, way less depending on what kinds of [produce] you're using. But the labor cost tends to be higher because there's a lot of things to process."
An entrée of steak and mashed potatoes with green beans takes almost no prep except to butcher the meat, blanch the beans, and make the mash, Harden says as an example. Buying vegetables as much as possible from local producers and preparing them in occasionally elaborate ways tends to take more time.
Primping the Plate
It's that style of entrée—a protein and two sides—that Dirt Candy's Cohen says plant-forward menus need to move away from. When it comes to plants, she says, the age-old formula no longer works.
"One way people used to steer away from vegetables as sides was to imitate the 'meat and two veg' format, offering a big piece of protein like tofu or seitan and then vegetables as the side," she says. "To me, that's kind of boring."
Similar to Cohen's brassica plate at Dirt Candy, abcV takes a deep dive into one vegetable with a tour of tomatoes—Harden's personal favorite. In August, abcV's menu featured salads of sungolds, a bouillabaisse broth over fresh shelling beans, and a chilled beefsteak tomato soup (not a gazpacho, Harden says).
In the end, diners just need to feel satisfied, so variety of flavor, texture, and taste help, plant-forward menus achieve this.
"They want food that will fill them up and doesn't taste like someone just steamed some vegetables and put them on rice," says Todd Gray, chef and co-owner of Equinox Restaurant in Washington, D.C. "They want thoughtful dishes and elegant presentations—and of course, great service. They don't want to be singled out for wanting all vegan dishes or to feel weird at the table for having to ask if you can 'create a dish' because nothing on the menu is vegan. They want what all diners want, but they are skeptical that they can get full on just veggies—we love this challenge in particular."
While Gray seems to know the formula for pleasing diners, plant-forward or not, Cohen says she uses her restaurant as lab for that very experiment.
"Dirt Candy, more than anything, is my lab where I get to push vegetables further than they've gone before and try new things, like mixing onions and chocolate in desserts, or finding new ways to use fermented black beans," she says. "I feel like with restaurants in general you have to decide what kind of customers you want and then market to them, and it's no different if you only serve vegetables. Some people who do vegetable-only restaurants want lifestyle customers, and so they market toward vegans and vegetarians by doing fundraisers for animal rights organizations, and making sure that the entire restaurant is 100 percent free of animal products. Some vegetable-only restaurants want health and beauty customers and market toward them by emphasizing the lightness of their dishes and offering juices with names involving words like 'rejuvenate' and 'antioxidant.' I want fine-dining customers, so I market toward them with an extensive wine list, tasting menus, and a focus on service."
At Botanica in Los Angeles, the menu doesn't rely solely on plants, but certainly features them heavily. Co-owner Heather Sperling says a global pantry of spices from around the world and the perfect preparation for each vegetable are two factors that surprise Botanica's customers the most.
"The comments we hear most from diners are, one, 'If vegetables always tasted like this, I'd eat them so much more often,' and two, 'I've never eaten so many vegetables at dinner before—and felt so satisfied,'" she says. "We've found that people get very excited to encounter creative, vibrant, colorful dishes that happen to star beautiful, local produce."
Cauliflower: The Gateway Vegetable
Dirt Candy's Brassica Plate.
Plant-forward chefs agree that cauliflower is one of the best vegetables to prepare as an entrée or exciting plant-based plate, although some are not certain why. Customers can find cauliflower roasted whole at Botanica in Los Angeles and abcV in New York City. But Neal Harden, chef de cuisine at abcV, is particularly confused by the cauliflower craze. While the vegetable is certainly versatile and meaty—abcV serves its whole roasted cauliflower with a steak knife for a more substantial sensory experience—Harden still finds it a peculiar favorite.
"It's very sulphurous," he says. "I find it interesting that people love that one so, so much."
Indeed, they do. Cauliflower has made its way into mainstream menus, camouflaged as pizza crusts and buffalo wings. Chef Todd Gray of Equinox Restaurant proclaims, "Cauliflower is king!" Gray has served the cauliflower crispy with a tahini vinaigrette and fresh pomegranate, or battered with tempura and topped with toasted cashews.
Meanwhile at Dirt Candy, chef and owner Amanda Cohen has made cauliflower pappardelle. It was one of the first dishes she served and used the cauliflower in a ragu. Now one of her most notorious dishes is smoked cauliflower and waffles, a riff on chicken and waffles for the soul food vegetarian.

Ruby Elzy Biography
Ruby Elzy (1908-1943)
by David E. Weaver
Ruby Elzy, 1930
One of the first inductees into the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame, singer Ruby Elzy possessed one of the greatest soprano voices of her generation. She created the role of Serena in the American folk opera Porgy and Bess by George and Ira Gershwin and DuBose and Dorothy Heyward. Elzy played Serena more than 800 times between the opera's 1935 premiere and her death in 1943, and introduced one of the opera's most famous arias, "My Man's Gone Now."
Ruby Pearl Elzy was born in Pontotoc, Mississippi, on February 20, 1908. At age five, her father abandoned the family. Elzy's mother, Emma, single-handedly supported herself and her four children by working as a teacher in the Pontotoc Colored School and by washing and ironing clothes for well-to-do white families. As a child, Elzy learned Negro spirituals from her grandmother, who had been born a slave. Elzy began singing at age four in her church, and even as a child astonished people with the power and beauty of her voice.
Elzy was a freshman at Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, where she was overheard singing one day in 1927 by a visiting college administrator, Dr. C.C. McCracken of Ohio State University. Overwhelmed by her natural talents, he arranged for her to transfer to Ohio State, where she graduated in 1930. Elzy then received a Rosenwald Fellowship to the Julliard School in New York City, graduating in 1934.
Elzy made her Broadway debut in 1930 in the chorus of Brown Buddies. In 1933, she made her film debut as Dolly in The Emperor Jones, starring Paul Robeson. The screenwriter for that film was author DuBose Heyward. When Heyward and composer George Gershwin began working on Porgy and Bess, adapted from Heyward's novel, he recommended that Gershwin audition Elzy. After one hearing, Gershwin cast her as Serena. Elzy received tremendous acclaim in the role, both in the original Broadway production in 1935 and the 1942 revival, and on tour.

In addition to Porgy and Bess, Elzy starred on stage in Run Little Chillun and John Henry. She also sang in concerts and on radio. In 1937, she made her solo recital debut at New York's Town Hall and sang at the first Gershwin Memorial Concert at the Hollywood Bowl, which was broadcast worldwide by CBS radio. Elzy received the greatest honor of her career in December, 1937, when she sang at the White House at the invitation of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. In addition to The Emperor Jones, Elzy appeared in four other films, most notably 1941's Birth of the Blues (with Bing Crosby and Mary Martin), in which she sang "St. Louis Blues." In 1940, Elzy was chosen by composer Harold Arlen as one of the soloists to record the world premiere of Reverend Johnson's Dream, his original suite of American Negro spirituals.

Elzy's dream was to sing in grand opera, and she planned to make her operatic debut in the title role of Aida in 1944, following the close of the Porgy and Bess tour. Her dream, however, was to remain unfulfilled. On June 26, 1943, one week after the singing her final performance as Serena, Ruby Elzy died in Detroit, Michigan, following an operation. She was 35 years old. Elzy is buried in her hometown of Pontotoc, Mississippi.

The Poems of Ġan Anton Vassallo collected for the first time by Oliver Friggieri
Malta Independent Thursday, 25 April 2013, 11:24 Last update: about 9 years ago
Malta University Press has published the volume Il-Poeziji, an elegant volume comprising the collected Maltese poems of well-known nineteenth century Maltese poet Gan Anton Vassallo, who lived between 1817 and 1868 but whose many poems in Maltese had never to date been collected since his death.
The poems have now been collected for the first time ever by Professor Oliver Friggieri, who has been studying the poet and collecting his poems for various years.
The volume contains a number of rare and forgotten images of Gan Anton Vassallo, depicted by contemporaries, as well as various other pictures related to the poet, including original documents and manuscripts.
Gan Anton Vassallo, lawyer and Professor of Literature at the University of Malta, was born, lived and died and was buried in the Carmelite Church in Valletta. Although mostly forgotten, he is commonly recognised as the most important Maltese poet of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, and mainly remembered for his poem, 'Tifhira lil Malta', here included also together with a different version.
Professor Oliver Friggieri has not only collected all his poems in Maltese, but has also provided a highly detailed critical study of him as a poet and of his wide heritage of poetry, which Professor Friggieri inserts within the much wider context of Italian literary culture, strongly prevalent in Malta throughout the nineteenth century. Prof. Friggieri's introduction includes a short biography of the poet based on accounts given by two of his contemporaries Paolo Cesareo and Achille Ferres.
The volume includes narrative verse, lyrics, versified fables and satirical poems, all vividly portraying life in Valletta and other typical places of the island in the nineteenth century.
'Il-Gifen Tork', Vassallo's longest narrative poem, is introduced by way of a long study and is profusely annotated.
In launching this unique and important volume of more than three hundred pages Malta University Press hopes to revive the figure of one of the distinguished members of the academic staff who gave a significant contribution towards the revival of Maltese literature.
The book Gan Anton Vassallo – Il-Poeziji is elegantly produced by Midsea Books Ltd., Valletta, and printed at Gutenberg Press Ltd., Gudja. It is available from leading bookshops in Malta and Gozo, and also online from Sierra Books (www.sierra-books.com).
