Welcome to a 3-part series, highlighting Karthik Rampalli's life. In Part II to learn more about Karthik's experiences of co-founding the MEXT Scholars Association (MSA), working at various part-time jobs and internships, and organizing 5 TEDx events and 1 Hackathon.
Then in Part III, you will learn about Karthik's perspective on living in Japan and the benefits that come from it, and Karthik's overall appreciation and gratitude to those who helped him achieve everything he has accomplished thus far, as well as the MEXT Scholarship. And finally, learn some important clues to help make the best use of various opportunities in Japan.
Now, let's get started on Karthik's experience of moving to Japan, diligently studying Japanese for 1 year of intensive studies, and obtaining acceptance into Tokyo Tech's Department of Information Engineering.
When Katrina Navallo first arrived in Japan in April 2016 from the Philippines with a laundry list of tasks to accomplish, such as setting up a Japan Post Office bank account, moving into her new dorm room, and starting an Intensive Japanese Language program through the MEXT Scholarship program for 5 months at Kyoto University, she had no expectations of what was to come her way.
With a wealth of diverse experiences ranging from consulting for the Asian Development Bank and Civika, a local NPO to working in the Asian Center at the University of the Philippines, Katrina Navallo was ready to embark on a fresh new challenge — one that would take her to Japan to research about migrant workers in the social sciences field at Kyoto University. But it wasn't without challenges. In fact, she was initially rejected in her first attempt to earn the prestigious Monbukagakusho MEXT Scholarship. Through grit and determination, she studied how to earn the MEXT Scholarship, and crafted a winning application the following year.
After learning about her acceptance, Katrina took an enormous risk by packing her bags, saying 'goodbye' to loved ones, and moving to Japan with close to 0, Japanese language skills. All of this was done, to pursue her dream of earning a Ph.D. in the Graduate School of Asian and African Studies at Kyoto University, in a topic that she was truly passionate about.
At the 2017 Tokyo Slush Technology Conference, I had the pleasure of interviewing Arnaud Bonzom — an extremely accomplished, innovative, and dedicated supporter of women's empowerment and diversity initiatives.
500 Startups, for those who don't know, is an international early stage venture fund and startup accelerator with offices in more than 14 countries, including Japan.
This is my first blog post entirely in Japanese. It was a presentation about the current status of female empowerment and leadership in Japan. I made in front of about 20 people, including professors, for my final MEXT Intensive Language Program. As such, it includes furigana for difficult words. Enjoy!


As the home of Doge Mariner Falier, the Venetian leader executed for treason in the 14th century, Hotel Antico Doge oozes character and history, from the splendidly decorated guest rooms to the gorgeous breakfast area. Plus the price is unusually reasonable for this level of attractiveness and central location.
YOU SHOULD KNOW There's no elevator here, so you may want to stay elsewhere if you can't deal with stairs.
Lovely guest rooms are a good size for Venice and are decorated in 18th-century Venetian style, all pale pinks and golds. All rooms have patterned silk walls and gilt mirrors; some offer canopy beds and Murano chandeliers.
There are also triple and quadruple rooms, if you're traveling with your family or a group.
Many of the large, contemporary bathrooms come with tubs-shower combos.
To truly relax after a long day of wandering, ask for one of the rooms with a Jacuzzi tub.
Not much more than a check-in desk, there's really no place to hang here.
Hotel Antico Doge doesn't have its own restaurant, but a complimentary buffet breakfast is served in the fabulous breakfast room, which has a beautiful frescoed ceiling and Murano glass chandeliers.
A ferry from the Ca' d'Oro vaporetto stop (4-minute walk) will drop you off in San Marco and other locations around Venice, or hop on a traghetto from the nearby Santa Sofia stop (3-minute walk) directly across the canal to the Rialto. Otherwise, if you want to walk, the Rialto Bridge is extremely close.
Cozy Osteria Ca' d'Oro alla Vedova (3-minute walk) is known for its polpette (fried meatballs) and local vino. Reserve in advance for a great selection of traditional dishes—especially the seafood—at Osteria La Bottega ai Promessi Sposi (2-minute walk). Charming family-run Vini da Gigio (5-minute walk) offers tasty pastas and seasonal dishes with a great wine list.
Petite wine bar Un Mondo di Vino (2-minute walk) is a great place to enjoy aperitivi (wine or spritz and bar snacks). El Sbarlefo Cannaregio (25-minute walk) offers delicious cicchetti like the classic sarde in saor (sweet and sour sardines), plus a good choice of wines and cocktails, while VinoVero (8-minute walk) has a lovely selection of wines by the glass and tasty nibbles.
The décor is lovely, the location fab (if a bit busy outside, but it's Venice after all), and the price is right.

How The Bachelorette Is About to Explore Sex and Religion
Chris Harrison previews the religious debate to come between Hannah Brown and Luke Parker
By Lauren Piester Jun 14, 2019 10:03 PMTags
TVThe BacheloretteEntertainment
Things are about to get sexy on The Bachelorette, but not in the way you might expect.
We've all heard Hannah Brown's iconic line, "I have had sex and Jesus still loves me" from the promos, and based on what we've now heard from Chris Harrison, those scenes have more to do with the Jesus than the sex.
"It's not as much sex as it is religion, which is a very interesting topic," he says. "It's not a topic we dive into a lot because it really depends on the Bachelor or Bachelorette and how strong their faith is and what it means to them, and how you define that, and I think it's going to be a great topic of debate."
Chris Harrison Just Wants Hannah B. to "Do Her Thing"
When it comes to religious debates, like the kind that Hannah and Luke P. will be having in the coming weeks, you can look at history to see how that might go, Harrison says.
"I'm a faithful person myself," he says. "Religion is something that I believe—and hopefully we all believe—should bond everybody together and it should create peace, but what we all know from history is that it actually rarely does. It actually creates more wars than anything in the world, and that is what is interesting because faith and religion is actually all about perspective and how you perceive it and how you define it, which is what creates the wars."
So what does that mean for Hannah and Luke?
"Hannah and Luke are on this crash course of defining religion and defining faith and defining these conservative values and what it mean to them, and if there is not a better topic for our country to debate in the coming weeks, it's this," Harrison says. "It is fascinating. I think our show is always good about pushing the social values of these social debates. We don't create them, we don't invent them, but we're going to expose it and show it, and I think it's fascinating to talk about."
Is The Bachelorette Saga of Luke Parker and Hannah Brown Over?
Harrison says Hannah's line about Jesus still loving her "really encapsulated" what was happening in the moment.
"It's very rare when a Bachelor or Bachelorette or somebody even in life can just all of a sudden bring everything together in one line, and that really did," he says. "That one line kind of encapsulated everything that was going on."
Comparisons have been made to Kaitlyn Bristowe's season, which also dealt with sex and shaming a woman over sex, but this is a different conversation, Harrison says.
"Hannah's season's more dealing on a religious and conservative line, and more about values, and what do your values mean? And how do you define them? And how someone else defines them, and then how does that impact your life? And whose perspective should weigh more?" he explains.
In terms of her religion, Harrison says Hannah's thoughts are clear: "This is my body, this is my life, I'm making these decisions, and this is my God who I believe loves me, and everyone else be damned."
ABC/John Fleenor
Not everyone seems to share that opinion.
"If you're in a relationship with someone who doesn't believe in what you're saying, what's the effect on that and how do you deal with it? That's what we're going to be talking about, and that's what's going to come to a head very soon."
This examination of religion, especially when it comes to sex and everything related to it, isn't just happening on the show. It's also happening in government, as various states have been putting restrictions on reproductive healthcare and particularly women's healthcare.
Luke S. Explains Why He Quit The Bachelorette
Harrison says you can't really ever predict where a Bachelor or Bachelorette will ever take the show, so it was sort of a coincidence that The Bachelorette just so happened to be about a religious woman standing up for herself against more traditional, conservative religious beliefs this season, but the show was always going to follow Hannah wherever she took it.
"I think if I we were scripting this, we wouldn't have had someone like Luke dominate the landscape for so long and so heavily," he says. "I don't think if I was scripting a show that that would be the best television, but that's where we are. You can't predict these things, but where Hannah has taken us really brought up this very touchy sensitive subject and we're not going to shy away from it."
Stay tuned for more from our chat with Harrison on Monday, including just how dark things are going to get.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Chiropractic's journey into health care took a huge leap forward thanks to its incredible effect on the thousands of Americans during the flu crisis. What I hope you all gain from this is the incredible results of the chiropractic adjustment. When you get adjusted, you decreased sustained sympathetic tone in your nervous system (bad), which subsequently leads to an increase in immune function (good), among many other consequences (Journal of Neurophysiology, February 2007). An increase in immune function is important for everything from the cold and runny nose to influenza, cancer, and heart disease, not to mention the great enhancing effects on a healthy individual. This is why we encourage you all to come in to get checked despite if you are not feeling the best. An adjustment will stimulate your immune system to better fight off any illness in your body.

The very act of preserving food is a way to further connect with the landscape around you and in turn, connect more deeply with the seasons. It is an action step towards food sovereignty and provides you with the ability to truly know where your food comes from and what it's made of.
With a strong "Do it Yourself" mentality, Chef Frank dove into the world of food preservation to not only learn traditional techniques, but to provide his family with an array of nutrient dense foods all year long. From processing acorns to fermenting cabbage, Chef Frank knows that a well stocked pantry makes for a well fed family.
Living in a northern climate with a short growing season provides a short window for fresh food, so by learning how to properly process and preserve the bounty of the summer, Chef Frank is able to enjoy an array of vibrant foods even when the ground is frozen and covered by a blanket of of snow.
Frank is a Chef, Nutrition Educator, Farmer, Wild Food Enthusiast, and Family Man.
Frank draws from the best, most health promoting elements within each of the diet doctrines, looks at them through the lens of sustainability, and applies them tastefully through his craft as a talented Chef.
Only a few generations ago, our ancestors saw food preservation as a necessity. In tough times, women would spend their days preserving every last drop of food they could so that they could ensure their family would have plenty of food to eat throughout the winter. Frugal living didn't just mean financially, it meant using up all the parts.
Preserved food can be stored without needing a refrigerator or freezer for well over a year. Not only that, but you save money when you purchase food in bulk and seasonally.
Do you want to know exactly what's in your food? Buying packaged food, canned sauces or soups, boxed broths - subject you to all kinds of preservatives, BPA, and other artificial ingredients.
You can gain personal satisfaction in knowing that you've provided ingredients for all of your meals, all year round.
My passion for food stems from the desire to live a vigorous and harmonious lifestyle, one that is closely connected to nature. In order to be on top of my game, day in and day out, I choose to eat the foods that will allow my body to excel, as well as my family's, toward greatness. The foods we choose to eat will either encourage or hinder our bodies ability to adapt to the outside world.
With learning to cook wholesome meals, utilizing fresh, nutrient dense ingredients, you can begin to shift your body and mind towards balance. Cooking from scratch is one of our greatest allies when we have the desire to eat, look, and feel good.
Without focusing on one particular diet, my culinary inspiration comes from a melange of dietary principles, utilizing them appropriately throughout the year.Starting with fresh, seasonal, and locally grown ingredients, I used traditional preparations to create a nutrient dense cuisine.
Wondering what's on the course syllabus?
The pre study will offer some insight into food preservation and lay out some important tools that will streamline your food prep throughout the year.
Module 1 will lay the foundation for the course and offer charts, tips, and detailed information on what to preserve and how. Seasonal Eating charts will be offered to more directly influence your prep work and flow through the seasons.
In this module, you will also learn proper techniques for simple preservation methods like freezing, drying, and even how to maximize your refrigerator.
Salt has been an important ingredient for humans since around 6000 BC. This integral ingredient not only adds flavor and minerals to the food we consume, but it also has the ability to prevent foods from going "off".
Module 2 will focus on preserving food with salt and I will break it all down for you in a simple way. From creating a brine and making pickles to salt curing meat, you will learn a wide array of techniques to incorporate throughout the year.
Canning food is one of the easiest ways to create a well stocked pantry and module 3 will give you the low down on this technique that has been used by home makers for several generations.
First and foremost, I will breakdown high and low acid foods and what method of canning is needed. Second, I'll share some of my favorite recipes to help you load up your pantry with dozens and dozens of delicious, seasonal recipes like salsa, chicken stock, pickles, and more.
If you're a fan of jams and jellies, module 3 will give you detailed guidance for making the tastiest fruity concoctions.
Once you've filled your kitchen shelves with an array of preserved food, it's time to start incorporating them into your meals. Module 4 is where Chef Frank brings his fabulous highly nutritious recipes to nourish yourself and your family.
By having a well stocked pantry, you will be able to streamline your time in the kitchen and be able to more easily produce meals "on the fly".
"The astonishing fact about food preservation is that it permeated every culture at nearly every moment in time. To survive ancient man had to harness nature. In frozen climates he froze seal meat on the ice. In tropical climates he dried foods in the sun."
How is this course facilitated?
We have an online virtual classroom where you can access videos, assignments, and course materials. You will also be able to connect with fellow students and Chef Frank in the classroom's virtual forum, as well as in the private Facebook group where discussions will be moderated throughout the day. In addition to the virtual class room, Frank hosts a once weekly one hour live video call. If you can't make the call, no worries, we record each one and deliver it to your inbox along with your weekly assignments!
All course material can be viewed (or downloaded) on your personal computer or device.
"Frank is a naturally dynamic instructor who uses a multi-sensory approach to teaching. Therefore, he made it possible to acquire these skills – under his direction – through whichever learning style suited each individual best. For example, every lesson involved Frank talking about what he was doing, while doing what he was teaching, then allowing us to perform the task, and lastly (best of all) tasting what we made! Additionally, he made himself available to answer questions at all times – one of the most approachable human beings I have ever met.

Tasmania contains a wealth of invertebrate species of ancient origin. Their antiquity offers an insight into the processes of evolution, continental drift and climate change over vast periods of time. While many Tasmanian invertebrates (and, of course, vertebrates and plants) are of Gondwanan origin, some reveal even more ancient lineages that extend back to Pangea - the supercontinent that predated Gondwana beyond 200 million years ago.
Tasmania is home to a unusually high proportion of endemic species. Nearly half of the invertebrate species found within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, for example, are found nowhere else on Earth. Many well known groups of invertebrates have a high proportion of species restricted to Tasmania, such as 92% of the island's terrestrial oligochaetes (earthworms), 92% of its syncarids (mountain shrimps), 93% of its terrestrial amphipods (landhoppers), 88%of its freshwater crayfish, 89% of its stoneflies, 70% of its caddis-flies and 93% of its carabid beetles.
There are also many groups where the largest or most spectacular examples occur in Tasmania, such as springtails, stoneflies, and freshwater crayfish.
Many species have greatly restricted ranges, such as the blind velvet worm, while others occupy remarkably narrow niches, such as the pandani moth which feeds soley within the fronds of the endemic pandani, the world's tallest heath plant.
Despite the unique values that invertebrates bring to Tasmania's rich natural heritage, and the vital role they play in forming the basis of ecological systems, the vast majority of the islands' invertebrate species remain undescribed or undiscovered, with little or nothing known about their ecology. The 10,000 invertebrate species presently known from Tasmania form just a fraction of the species that probably exist within the state. For some invertebrate groups, such as stoneflies and terrestrial flatworms, Tasmania is the Australian centre of diversity. For others, such as the velvet worms, it is the world centre of diversity.
Only a few of the many thousands of species are detailed here. For a more complete, albeit still partial, listing of Tasmania's invertebrate fauna, see the Department of Primary Industries and Water web site.

Lockheed: MEADS on Track, Don't Cut
Lockheed officials today gave a last minute pitch to keep the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) program alive on the eve of Defense Secretary Robert Gates' expected announcement of roughly $80 billion in cuts to DoD programs.
"We're finishing up integration of our key parts," such as control stations, radars and launchers, said Mike Trotsky, Lockheed's vice president of Air and Missile Defense Systems during a Jan. 5 phone call with reporters. "Of course the missile, which is usually the highest risk item in an air-defense development has already intercepted a target and doesn't need further integration," said Trotsky. "We're confident that we have alot behind us that we didn't have a year ago and we can do what we need to do to get within cost and schedule" limits.
This comes after Congress, citing cost growth and schedule delays, voted to freeze funding for the program until Gates decides whether to keep it alive, a choice that will likely be revealed tomorrow.
If Gates decides to move ahead with MEADS, Congress will allow the Pentagon to award $350.2 million of a requested $467 million contract to Lockheed for continued work on the missile system. The Senate, in its version of the FY-11 defense authorization bill said will cost $1 billion more than planned and be more than a year behind schedule.
"Assuming he makes a decision to continue on with MEADS, what we expect the people at OSD to do is to answer the Congress with documentation that confirms the need for MEADS and their commitment to go ahead with it," said the executive. If this happens, "we don't see an interruption in funding" on the horizon, he added.
He went on to say that the program has received updated data since Congress moved to freeze funds for the program in the FY-11 authorization bill, which passed last month.
"The Senate, at least, got their information before we had submitted a life-cycle cost estimate, a proposal to continue the rest of the program within budget and that we had passed our critical design review," said Trotsky. "When you look at" all those factors, "I'm more optimistic now than I was a year ago about finishing the program within those requirements."
He went on to say that Lockheed has moved to make the system more efficient and resolved a number of "technical discovery" issues that surface during the development phase of a weapon system.
Trotsky also pointed out that MEADS users Germany and Italy have lobbied Gates to keep MEADS alive, adding that Lockheed is "assuming he'll make a decision to continue."
Still, only the DoD can answer the question of whether $1 billion in cost growth is acceptable, added Trotsky.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon and Lockheed are working to hammer out the details of the fixed price contract award for the latest batch of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile systems, according to Trotsky.
"As THAAD moves from development to production, there's discussions to moving toward more fixed-price contracting, those are the discussions we're having now," said Trotsky. "At this stage we're talking about mostly fixed-price incentive contracts and the details of the discussion are about the terms of the discussions."

State Sen. Christine Tartaglione and state Rep. Kevin Boyle present Fox Chase Cancer Center with a $500,000 grant to help fund a project.
Last Thursday, state Sen. Christine Tartaglione and state Rep. Kevin Boyle presented Fox Chase Cancer Center with a $500,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program to go toward the expansion of its Infusion Center.
Fox Chase's Infusion Center is where the patients receive chemotherapy, non-chemotherapy infusions, hydration and blood product transfusions. The RACP grant will go toward an overall $8.2 million expansion of the Fusion Center, which will increase the patient capacity from 36 infusion chairs to 60 and double the area's floor space from 10,460 square feet to 21,500.
Dr. Richard I. Fisher, president and CEO of Fox Chase Cancer Center, spoke about how special of a day it was for the hospital.
Tartaglione and Boyle shared their personal stories of loved ones affected by cancer.
Tartaglione discussed the passing of her sister due to breast cancer 11 years ago. Tartaglione stated that her sister had received cancer treatment at Fox Chase, calling the hospital a unique and intrical part to the Northeast Philadelphia community.
Boyle shared all three of his fathers' sisters and other relatives battled breast cancer. He stated that, "There isn't a family not affected by cancer," and expressed his gratitude to the efforts made by those at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
"This is a world-class, cancer-fighting treatment facility and I believe we have a moral responsibility as elected representatives to advocate for proper funding of this institution so we can combat and eliminate this horrible, horrible disease," said Boyle.
Fox Chase Cancer Center diagnoses and treats every kind of cancer, except pediatrics, and is recognized as a world-renowned center treatment center. Currently, the Infusion Center serves approximately 2,200 patients per month.
In June 2018, design plans are set to be approved, with construction expected to begin in September 2018 for the Infusion Center.
Before taking the elected officials on the tour, Fisher reiterated his gratitude toward the grant and firmly believes this will enhance the patient experience at FCCC.


This week's guest shares SAT and ACT test prep advice with Home School Heartbeat's host Mike Smith.
Are you thinking about homeschooling through high school? This free booklet addresses questions from preparation for high school through the college search, including information on preparing transcripts, playing sports, and finding social opportunities.
Taking the SAT and ACT is a big and often stressful part of getting ready for college. Well, this week on Home School Heartbeat , host Mike Smith and one of HSLDA's high school consultants, Diane Kummer, share how your student can be confident and ready for these tests.
Mike Smith: Our guest this week is Diane Kummer, one of HSLDA's high school learning consultants. Diane, welcome back to Home School Heartbeat !
Diane Kummer: Well, thank you so much, Mike, nice to be here!
Mike: Well, Diane, because SAT and ACT test scores are such significant factors in college applications, parents and their high schoolers want to do the very best they can on the tests. How early do you think a student should actually begin preparing for the SAT and ACT and how intensely should they study?
Diane: Well, Mike, every teen is different, and each teen's study plan will vary. However, on average I recommend a student begin preparing for the college entrance tests about six months prior to actually taking the test. This length of time provides teens with ample opportunity to work on practice problems, and also learn test-taking strategies. A motivated teen can easily spend 15 to 20 minutes a day working through practice problems in order to be comfortable with the format of the test, and to be familiar with instructions relating to different sections of the test. Parents will also want to give their teens practice in learning how to pace themselves so that a majority of the problems can be completed within an allotted time frame.
Mike: That's very helpful. Thank you, Diane. Your insights this week will be very valuable for many homeschoolers. And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: One of HSLDA's high school consultants, Diane Kummer, is with me again today to talk about ACT and SAT tests. Now, Diane, what strategies can a high schooler use while preparing for these tests?
Diane Kummer: Well, I'd like to suggest a couple strategies, Mike. Every day on the CollegeBoard website , teens will find a practice problem to work on, and then they can check to see if they answered that question correctly. If your teen answers the problem incorrectly, he can access a step-by-step explanation of how to arrive at the right answer. The website notes how many teens respond to the question of the day, and how many students answered the problem correctly. This information gives you an idea of each question's difficulty. Now in addition, I suggest purchasing a test prep resource. HSLDA's high school section of the website lists a number of helpful items from which to choose. That's important for a teen to take time to understand why he misses any practice problem. He can then learn from his mistakes and be better prepared when he next encounters a similar type of problem. Some parents may want to sign their teens up for test prep classes or even hire a tutor, but most parents simply opt to purchase a test prep resource and then have their teen study independently.
Mike: Again, Diane, very helpful advice. And next time we'll talk about some testing challenges that homeschoolers may face. And until then, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Diane, what are some unique SAT and ACT test challenges that a homeschooler might face?
Diane Kummer: Most parents give their teens unlimited time when taking tests in a homeschool setting. So teens are not accustomed to taking timed tests. Parents may want to use free full-length practice tests found on the CollegeBoard and ACT websites to give their teens practice taking the test under timed conditions. Also, most teens haven't had much practice in writing an essay under timed conditions. The writing process involves brainstorming, organizing ideas, and finally editing the piece. And this process usually occurs over several days or longer. Most of your teen's writing should follow that process. However, when preparing teens for the SAT or ACT, give them practice writing an essay within a certain time frame. Another unique challenge homeschoolers face is adjusting to a new testing environment. That's why I recommend that teens take the SAT or ACT at least twice. Scores almost always rise the second time around. Parents can also find test tips on the ACT and CollegeBoard websites.
Mike: Diane, again, very helpful information, especially to homeschoolers on how we can get ready to take these tests. And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Test-taking can be nerve-wracking for anyone. Diane, do you have any tips that a student can keep in mind while taking the SAT or the ACT?
Diane Kummer: I'd like to recommend a couple of strategies, Mike. Students should be familiar with the format of the test. They should know how many sections are on the test, and be familiar with the directions specified in each section. All of this information is available on the CollegeBoard and ACT websites. Let your teens know it's not wise to spend an inordinate amount of time on any one question. Remind them that if they are stuck on a particular question, it's okay to move on to another problem. On the ACT, a student is not penalized for wrong answers, so it's fine to use a process of elimination to try to arrive at the correct answer. On the SAT test, however, wrong answers to multiple choice questions result in a penalty of one-quarter of a point. So spend some time on the SAT and ACT websites to understand the scoring process of each test. Now when students take the practice test at home, use the bubble answer form. Remind your teens, if they choose to skip a question, they need to be extra careful to skip down that answer sheet when answering the next question.
Mike: Diane, I think these are some great insights to keep in mind as homeschoolers get ready to take these tests. And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Diane, are there any resources you can recommend to help homeschoolers prepare for the SAT and ACT tests?
Diane Kummer: Yes, Mike, there are many resources available to homeschool students to prepare for either the SAT or ACT. The CollegeBoard says the best way to prepare for the SAT is to do a lot of reading and writing and take challenging high school courses. Parents should communicate that to their teens. Completing test practice problems is also very helpful, but teens shouldn't minimize the fact that studying and doing well in all of their high school courses will result in better SAT and ACT test scores. HSLDA lists a number of good test prep resources on our website , including the ACT or SAT PowerPrep. Offered by a company called eKnowledge, this program retails for over $200 but is available on HSLDA's website for approximately $18 for a one-year renewable license. Kaplan , Princeton Review , and Barron's are some of the most popular test prep publishers.
Mike: Diane, I know these resources, as well as your other helpful insights this week, will be very much appreciated by our listeners. And thank you so much for joining us again!
Mike: And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Diane and her husband Tom homeschooled their two children from kindergarten through 12th grade using a variety of teaching options. The Kummers' daughter completed her master's degree in government and their son earned a bachelor of arts degree in communications/public relations. After her children graduated from high school, Diane helped to develop HSLDA's Homeschooling Thru High School program and website. As an HSLDA High School Consultant, Diane regularly speaks throughout the country at homeschool conferences and one-day high school symposiums where she shares from her experiences and her imperfect (but real) homeschooling days! Diane enjoys writing articles (such as regular columns for the Homeschool Enrichment magazine), brochures on high school topics, and a monthly high school newsletter filled with helpful tips. She reviews new resources and provides personal consultation to HSLDA members by giving advice on high school planning, suggesting curriculum options, lending a listening ear, and reassuring parents they are on the right track as they head into the high school years. "The joy and grace of the Lord are available—and He has provided many avenues of care and help along the way," she says. During her homeschooling years, Diane coordinated events, activities, and support meetings for her church's 190-plus homeschooling families while developing a program that provided evaluation of credits, diplomas, and transcripts for high school families. Along with songwriters, singers, and actresses from her church, Diane was involved in two videos created by the FunnyMoms to encourage and uplift homeschooling mothers. Her love for math is evident as she continues to teach high school-level math classes for homeschooled students.

Wanting Some Halloween Spirit? We Got You, Boo.
It's fall, y'all, and the Library is kicking off the Halloween season with a monstrously good mashup of haunted local history tales, scary story recommendations, spooky special events, and frightfully fun family festivities.
KCQ: Last Chance and State Line
This installment of "What's Your KCQ" is a story of gambling, gangsters, and geography. Reader William Renegar wanted to know, "Was there once a gambling establishment on Southwest Boulevard on the state line that was part in Kansas and part in Missouri?" There's a story in his family about a relative, Fred Renegar, who supposedly ran a saloon on the state line before he was killed by the mob over an unsettled debt. His murder was never solved. William Renegar wondered if there was any truth to it. Our findings indicate: Yes, it's all true.
How did Arrowhead Stadium get its name? We answer a reader's KC Q
The excitement at Arrowhead Stadium during the divisional playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts got Tom Solon to wondering how the stadium got its name. "I've always thought it was an awesome name for a stadium," Solon writes to KCQ, a recurring feature in which The Kansas City Star, in partnership with the Kansas City Public Library, answers readers' questions. Read on for the back story on the naming of the stadium.
What's Your KC Q: Downtown Christmas Crowns Continued
UPDATED Question: What happened to all the Christmas decorations that used to be downtown, particularly the crowns strung across the streets with garland?
In our first response to this question, I reported that the Merchants Association began displaying crowns at busy downtown intersections in 1957. Thanks to an observant reader with a special connection to the crowns, I now realize that this date is incorrect. In fact, evidence points to the crowns first being installed in 1962.
What's Your KC Q: Downtown Christmas Crowns
Question: What happened to all the Christmas decorations that used to be downtown, particularly the crowns strung across the streets with garland?
A timely question as we enter holiday light season in the Kansas City area. Short of digging through the attic at City Hall, my first thought was to consult Monroe Dodd's 2001 book Christmastime in Kansas City: The Story of the Season. According to Dodd, the Christmas shopping season was a modest affair in the years before World War I. The economic boom that followed the war changed things, and beginning in 1924, a group of downtown retailers pooled their resources to festoon the streets with garland and other decorations. In 1925 they added a parade to kick off the holiday season.
Will the KCTV5 tower ever light up the KC skyline again? We answer your KC Q
The KCTV broadcast tower at 31st Street and Grand Avenue once served as a 1,042-foot tall beacon at night, visible for miles around with more than 1,300 white lights tracing its four legs. But the tower has been unlit for more than a decade. Kansas City native Todd Hembree wonders why — and if — the lights will ever return.
What's Your KC Q? How Kansas City Got its Name
It sure seems like Kansas City ought to be named Missouri City, doesn't it? Although, our neighbors to the north in Clay County where the actual Missouri City is located might have something to say about that. To better understand why Kansas City was given its name, we must first gain an understanding of why a city was established here, and also what was going on in the world at that time.

As I understand, the restaurant is owned by whale watching company Elding and caters largely to tourists who eat lunch prior to, or following their whale watching excursions. However, my companion and I came around to taste their dinner menu, which consists of five starters, ten main courses (a bit much) and four dessert options.
We sat down and at once noticed the custom-made tableware designed by Guðný Hafsteins and graphic designer Siggi Odds—a nice touch. As we waited for our starters, we received a complimentary amuse-bouche, a plaice ceviche. Although beautiful in its presentation, the amuse-bouche proved uninteresting. The normally citrusy and fragrant ceviche was quite bland and the taste of pickled onion was too dominant. It needed a bit of seasoning, and perhaps some heat. Fresh chili could have done the trick.
To start with, my companion had the creamy lobster soup with fried langoustines and herb cream (2,500 ISK) and I had fried scallops with pumpkin purée, spinach and beech agaric mushroom salad (2,200 ISK). The soup was rich and creamy with large pieces of langoustine. It was well seasoned and proved exceptionally tasty. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the pumpkin purée was very pleasing, although the scallops themselves could have done with a touch more seasoning. The spinach and mushroom salad did little for the dish and seemed a bit out of place.
For our main course, my companion had the filet mignon with chimichurri, grilled corn and pepper sauce (5,750 ISK) and I had duck breast with creamy savoy, buttered oranges and red wine sauce (4,900 ISK). My dining companion, a native of Buenos Aires, was pleased with the filet mignon, cooked to tender perfection, but thought the chimichurri needed some work as it was lacking in both heat and acidity. The portion also could have been a bit bigger.
Although the duck breast was well cooked and delicious, it sat on a slaw of creamy savoy cabbage, which was quite odd and did not do the dish any favours. Nicely cooked carrots and pieces of broccoli were also present, although their presence was not essential. The red wine sauce was very good, but all in all there were too many things on the plate. The buttered oranges were very nice and there should have been more of them.
For dessert, my companion chose the chilled coconut soup with fruit (1,350 ISK) and I decided on the triple chocolate mousse, brownie and banana-split ice cream. The fruits were fresh and went nicely with the coconut soup, which could have had a bit more coconut flavour. The triple chocolate mousse was also nice, presented perfectly on a plate with a brownie still moist and a very pleasing banana split ice cream with bits of crunchy dark chocolate, lovely.
All in all we were pleased with our meal, but not blown away, not by a long shot. Although it has great potential, MAR needs to work on some nuances. The prices of their main courses for instance suggest that they want to be taken seriously, but the breadbasket suggests otherwise. And in the words of renowned chef Pierre Koffmann: "the bread is essential to the success of a restaurant." Maybe they just need one final push to be called a great restaurant.


The cutting-edge iris scanner is easily one of the most interesting features of the newly announced Note 7, being that the flagship largely carries over the same components we've already seen this year from Samsung with the S7 family. Some folks may dismiss it as just a fancy way to unlock your phone, but diving into the details shows a lot more promise for the biometric sensor.
Iris scanning opens up a lot of doors in regard to security while the phone is in use. Take for instance Samsung's new Secure Folder feature. You can pick and choose which documents, media, and apps require an extra level of access. The quick scan could also get you through login prompts that ask for passwords you can never remember. Even better, we have learned Samsung will soon open up the system up to third-party app developers.
Samsung says it will soon release a special API, within the Samsung Pass Program, that will allow developers to tinker with the biometric hardware for content security within their apps. A nifty use case we've heard about is online banking apps requiring a scan before jumping into your accounts. We're sure clever app developers won't take long to think up even more unique ideas like secret phone dialers and message apps, secure ways to log into your favorite services, and more.
Are you excited about the new form of authentication or think that the fingerprint scanner was plenty sufficient? Is there any custom use of the iris sensor that you'd like to see?
