It's back to school time! We're here to help you make fun and easy school lunches for your kids. Check out these delicious and simple back to school lunch ideas that don't include sandwiches.
It's just about time for back to school! Where the heck did the summer go? Seriously though, it went by in a flash!
School lunches can become really boring and not so fun, so we thought we would give you a few ideas to keep it fun, healthy, and not so redundant.
Here's the thing… mornings are hard and the last thing you want to do is create really difficult lunches. Who has time for that? So all these school lunch ideas we are sharing are going to be easy. Remember that you don't need to make extravagant lunches for your kids. It is all going into their belly anyway. Give yourself some grace.
Every year, I see a meme go around about school lunches. First week of school the kids get amazing lunches with adorable notes… last week of school they get a apple, bag of chips and some chewing gum. A little extreme, but it can feel that way right? So these are simple enough to make that you won't get tired.
When planning lunches I always try to include a starch, protein, fruit, vegetable and fat. Proteins and fat help keep your child fuller longer and fat helps with brain development, so I always try to add healthy fats.
Don't make everything from scratch.
Use store-bought guacamole or hummus : dips/spreads can make lunches more fun, flavorful, and less boring.
Use leftovers! Make extra pancakes, waffles, pasta, chicken, etc to add to school lunches.
Prep and keep things on hand in the freezer like pancakes, quesadillas, pre-cooked pizza etc.
I also like to keep yogurt in the freezer to easily pop into lunches and they will be thawed in time for lunch.
Keep lunch supplies in one handy spot. Place all lunch boxes, containers (lunch bots are my favorite plastic free container), and even shelf stable food in baskets in the pantry making it more convenient to make lunches.
Pack lunches the night before so you're not rushing around throwing lunches together in a rush.
1. Turkey Monsters with toast, olives for eyes, pepper smileys and broccoli for hair paired with a peach. I placed everything on the side so the child can create their own turkey monsters. Add a note to tell them to create a funny face.
2. Create You Own Pancake (or waffle) Tacos with pre-made pancakes or waffles (homemade or store-bought), nut butter, yogurt, and toppings like sliced strawberries, berries, etc. with carrot sticks, celery or sliced peppers.
3. Top Your Own Pizzas – a classic take on the Lunchable, but here I utilize homemade leftover pizza that has already been baked and placed extra toppings (olives, peppers, broccoli) on the side so kids can add more toppings themselves. Paired with yogurt and a banana.
4. Turkey pinwheel with hummus (or guacamole) and cheese paired with celery, carrots, chips, and a applesauce pouch.
5. Black Bean And Cheese Quesadilla – You can actually prep these ahead of time and stick them in the freezer. Include extra toppings, guacamole, salsa, a veggie (like peppers) and of course a fruit.
Another take on these would be to do a apple or pear cheese quesadilla. Apples and pears with melted cheese is so good.
Pesto chicken pasta with watermelon.
Veggie pitas – place your kids favorite veggies in a pita with some ranch and leftover chicken or lunch meat (optional) with cantaloupe.
Grilled cheese- with carrot sticks, and grapes.
Yogurt parfaits – yogurt with granola and toppings. Use low sugar toppings and add nut butter for protein.
Soups – With a thermos you can keep soups hot until lunch. Include some bread or crackers with and apple for a whole meal.
Peanut butter (or nut butter) and banana wraps with pepper slices.
Veggies and dip with crackers and fruit.
Beans and Rice with veggies and an applesauce pouch.
Muffins with nut butter, yogurt, strawberries, and a veggie.
Spring rolls with rice noodles, veggies, and meat with a pear on the side.
Kabobs with veggies, leftover meat, and cheese with a plum on the side.
Cheese and lunch meat with carrots, peppers, celery and berries.
Hard boiled eggs, salad, and a peach.
Chicken, bean, cheese, and rice burritos, with a fruit.
I like the idea of just throwing a few ingredients together and letting kids get creative with their own lunches. These types of easy school lunches can be more fun for them to eat while they are at school.
Allowing them to help make something also helps that want to actually eat the food you packed.
What are your favorite school lunch ideas?
Hello, admin thanks for your nice idea.
I used to make my lunch in office something similar like that.


She places a stretchy cotton turban on my head like a crown – one half bright pink, the other a multicolor floral that's reminiscent of my grandmother's old curtains. "It's perfect," she says, stepping back with a nod of her head. I examine my reflection in a hand mirror as the warm morning sun casts a glow on my face. I look chic, regal, trendy. She's right. It is perfect.
Jaclyn has been making jewelry since she was six years old. "I remember going on car rides with my parents and lugging my bead boxes everywhere," she says with a smile as she hands me a pair of dangly peace sign earrings, which coordinate perfectly with my new headpiece. "Back then I made necklaces and bracelets to sell on the beach." I glance at the ocean; she's come full circle.
LuniacStyle is Jaclyn's successful jewelry and accessories line, and this morning she's invited me to join her on the beach for a photo shoot. Ethereal young models don flowy dresses, stacks of gold bangles and strands of funky necklaces. Like me, they wear turbans on their heads as they pose gracefully by the sea. I'm reminded of a scene from a Brigitte Bardot film.
"I love the look of old Hollywood glamour icons, with tons of jewels, and that whole beachy scene," Jaclyn says. "I think of Elizabeth Taylor and Sofia Loren. They would wear the most elaborate outfits on the beach and rock them." She pauses to select a new set of jewelry and to fluff a model's hair. "I love turbies at the beach." Me too, I think to myself, me too.
I kneel in the sand beside Jaclyn's friend Kristen Marrah, who owns Gloss & Glamour Salon. After rising before dawn and procuring the beautiful hairstyles and makeup for the shoot, she's now wrapped up in a sheet, which blows softly in the breeze. The two ladies have joined forces to create LuniacGlamour, a "shop within a salon" in East Greenwich.
"We'll only be featuring local designers from Wear RI Style," Jaclyn says of the store, which is set to open its doors at 37 Main Street later this month. "You can come see us, get styled, shop a little." Speaking of shopping, I peruse through display boards that are propped up in the sand and settle on gold hoops — skewers for tiny turquoise sugar skulls. Perfection.
Style me. What should I wear with your jewelry this summer?
It's Saturday afternoon and you're having lunch with your girlfriends. What are you wearing?
Do you have formal education in the arts?
What were you doing before all this, then?
Tell me about your involvement with StyleWeek.
What does your husband think of your passion for fashion?


Hey there, what is the weather like today where you are - we've got rain, lots of rain but I guess some of you across the pond are still knee deep in the white stuff brrrrr!
it's a sketch so a lot of the works been done for you!
Here is my card.....ta dah!
This was an adorable image to colour, but I think I had most fun doing the background and those little sheep.......would you like to know how to add little wooly bleaters to your backgrounds?
All you need is a colourless blender and a grey marker, not too dark as your sheep are in the background and as things move further away from you they lose colour intensity. Just colour your background as normal, in this case grass and then with your colourless blender draw some oval shapes, hey they don't have to be perfect - not too big, again remember they are far off in the distance. Then with your grey marker add a head and a couple of legs - give it a go, they are really easy & add dimension to your work!
click on the image to see what my fellow teamies created, hopefully inspiring you to have a bash yourself!
Hi there, still playing catch up!
Now I am off to see if I can work out how to print out digi's using my Mac.....wish me luck!
I guess some of you have been wondering why I've been a tad quiet. Well I have been having computer problems, technology is fine and dandy when working but when it goes wrong it can be a complete nightmare, I miraculously managed to save all my files (phew!) but the laptop has been returned to Dell!
Now I know I have missed quite a few deadlines with my DT work and I'd like to say a very big thank you to my Design Teams for being so patient with me.
I had great fun with this image & especially love the little pooch, which of course in my head is a Westie!
Little Miss Muffet stamps for February!
have a challenge for you, oh yeah!
Now brace yourselves - for a small image the Copic list is rediculous!

Durham County Council calls for action to tackle GP shortage
Press Release August 2017
A member of Durham County Council's Cabinet has written to MPs on behalf of the authority calling on them to lobby the government to tackle a national shortage of GPs, after raising the issue at a council meeting.
Cllr Lucy Hovvels, the council's Cabinet member for adult and health services, has issued the letter after tabling a motion at the last meeting of the authority's full council. The motion, which was passed unanimously, urges local MPs to use their influence in Parliament to help attract, recruit and retain GPs across the country.
It also suggests the introduction of a weighting system, which would see those areas where there are significant difficulties in recruiting GPs, treated more favourably.
The motion says: "As GPs get older and wish to retire, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract, recruit and sustain new GPs as there is a national shortage, which needs a national solution.
"There is strong evidence that GPs prefer urban locations over rural ones and County Durham is not isolated in this challenge. This trend is increasing in rural areas across the country and a preventative approach is required.
"With a national shortage of GPs, a higher proportion of GPs are choosing to work in the south of England.
"Whilst dedicated and hard-working GPs continue to deliver excellent services, this council needs to ensure that high quality care services are secured for our population, now and for future generations."
The motion outlines a number of initiatives that have already been introduced by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in County Durham to tackle the problem. These include the GP Career Start Scheme, which has already attracted 19 GPs, who will join a practice for a minimum of two years with the expectation that they will remain at that practice.
Two CCGs are also part of a bid that, if successful, would see a regional approach to recruiting doctors from overseas. Plans are also progressing to introduce Teams Around Patients, which would see GPs working more closely with one another in order to improve access to services.
Dr Stewart Findlay, chief clinical officer for NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "We welcome this support from Durham County Council as we work together to improve the quality of services that we provide for the population of Durham.
"Although we have put in place a number of initiatives to attract doctors to this area we need to do more. A large proportion of our GPs are nearing retirement age and unless we make areas such as County Durham and in particular our rural areas attractive for young doctors to work in, there will be a staffing crisis in years to come."


❶In the section on Pop Art you are using one of my images.
The features of this style were: The features of the Pop Art artworks were: Actually, Pop Art replaced the satirical, destructive and anarchic elements of the Dada movement a cultural movement which appeared in Zurich during World War I and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works by having a reverence for mass culture and consumerism.
Pop Artists liked to satirize objects and they sometimes enlarged them to seemingly unnatural proportions. In the pop movement food was a common theme, but also household objects as chairs and toilets were made out of squishy plastic rather than the materials normally used.
As an example, we have the Soft Toilet by Claes Oldenburg. The artist that personified the Pop Art more than any other was Andy Warhol. His painting of Marilyn Monroe are the most famous icons of Pop Art. The process he used allowed him to create a large number of prints.
Actually, Warhol used a method of mass production to create his artwork because he thought that celebrities themselves were mass produced. Mick Jagger Suite of 10 — Andy Warhol. Even more, the labeling on the shipping carton which contained retail items was used as a subject of pop art. In Pop Art Sculpture, Claes Oldenburg was considered one of the most important representatives of the movement.
He created many large-scale public works. Another prominent figure of the pop movement was Robert Indiana. He called himself a sign painter, and he incorporated symbols, signs, and letters throughout his art. Indiana created poems, sculptures, paintings, silk screens and posters. His most famous sculpture is called Love and it was conceived in a time when the United States was consumed by the Vietnam War and it was as much a symbol of Peace as one of the most celebrated works within the pop art movement around the world.
Love — Robert Indiana. Collectors, art dealers, publishers, and auction houses, of course, agree with him. All of them point to some of the greatest names in art today: Needless to say, art has always been an expression of what takes place in society. Art reinvented itself more than ever before because of the pop art movement, which is still highly appreciated today.
All art appeals to people on an emotional level, but Pop Art is experienced on an experiential level it comes from our daily lives , said Julie Maner, director of business affairs for Museum Editions in New Rochelle, N.
This series features 25 different dog breeds in some electric Pop colors. Of course, this print in particular, is put by dealers in shop windows because of the colorful and whimsical designs.
Some people asked why did Pop Art return so strongly, even 47 years after it appeared? The answer given by some was that Pop gained a lot of supporters over the years and it proved to be a solid investment.
Artists still use most of the features of the pop art style today, as inspiration for their artworks. Check out some everyday products with awesome pop art inspired prints:.

Hi Adriana, You have a very interesting site here. In the section on Pop Art you are using one of my images. Probably the only comic font most people know well is the Comic Sans MS that is available on Windows computer.
But there are more comics fonts to know in addition to Comic Sans MS. Comic fonts look fun, yet they are not limited to that: Therefore comic fonts by no means should be confined to comic books.
So why limit comic fonts only to Comic Sans MS and comic books? And perhaps have a try and using comic fonts for your greeting cards, headlines, posters, invitations and website logos?
Classic Comic designed by Patrick Griffin is a typical font family of comic style. Classic Comic supports all popular formats and letters in most Central, Eastern, and Western European languages as well as Baltic, Maltese, Turkish, etc. To download free comic fonts, you can take a look at our free fonts collection , which offers more than 20, fonts in different categories. If you are looking for comic fonts that are of high quality well kerned, broad character support, etc.

Long-term fellowship
"Seasonal Festivity and Commercial Performance in Early Modern England" (Mellon, 2014-2015)
This book-length project reconstructs the performance dynamics of May games, Robin Hood gatherings, morris dances, and other early modern seasonal practices and analyzes their impact on the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. In sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, holidays were often celebrated with dancing, music, athletic combat, informal roleplaying, and scripted drama. In the professional theatres, however, these same activities functioned not as communal rituals but as commodified entertainments. Drawing on early modern pamphlet literature, broadside ballads, churchwarden accounts, household records, diaries, letters, and many other archival sources, this project will trace how the commercialization of festive practices transformed performance from a ubiquitous mode of sociality that permeated communal life into the institutionalized representational mode that we think of today as "theatre." The project is thus a kind of ur-history of the English stage as well as a broad-scale attempt to rethink how diverse cultural practices coalesce into seemingly unified aesthetic objects. Because festivity constituted a mode of embodied popular knowledge, physically enacting holiday customs onstage had important social and cultural consequences that derived not simply from drama as literary text but also from live performance. Building on—but also moving beyond—the concept of "performativity," this project examines how cultural norms and beliefs come to be (re)produced through bodily acts and affective experiences. It thus serves not only as a detailed study of a historically-specific set of performance practices but also as a wider theoretical contribution to the humanities as a whole.

New Name, New Address, New Features! NEAlpineStart is LIVE!
For years I've wanted to give this blog a make-over. A more creative name than… firstnamelastname at WordPress… a better Product Review Page (check out the new Guide Tested page), a connection to other great climbing websites out there (page under construction), and today I finally had the time & motivation to get it to a point where I felt I could push "publish".
In the past this blog has mostly been a place where I could summarize days guiding and upload photos for clients to access the fun we had in the mountains. It will still be that, but will also be more focused on something every climber & skier is passionate about. Gear.
Also a "how-to-guides-tips-and-tricks" section is in the making. While tying a one-handed clove-hitch might not help you break into 5.11 it definitely looks cool.
And a LOT more… so please Subscribe, Like, Share, Comment, etc… I am stoked to get this blog out there to more people who tear it up in the North East, whether on rock, ice, or snow, we're all enjoying the ride!


GTAC 2010: Flexible Design? Testable Design? You Don't Have To Choose!
Another good talk on testable design, from the Google Test Automation Conference 2010.
My LG Neon phone has a feature where it will save all the text messages as a text file on the memory card, however this is not a nice UTF-8 text file, rater one that is almost UTF-16 with reversed byte order, which confuses the local text editors on my Mac.
where the data I want is the char bytes.
which worked perfectly, and implemented the state machine directly.
Now I can save my text messages and have them readable.
The basic structure of a shell script state machine is an endless loop with a case branch structure inside that responds to a current state variable. To end the loop "break" out of the while loop.
This structure is useful for programs that are easier to express using a flow chart (state chart) than a linear structure, such as an interactive script with retry options.
Often I need a temporary directory for a shell script to do work in, one that gets cleaned up even if the script is aborted by the user with CTRL-C. I spent an hour or so figuring out how to make the cleanup happen reliably and now use the following snippet for the task of making and cleaning up the temporary directory.

School Leaders to Meet in Pasadena
How can schools connect environmental literacy and facility programs? The Green California Schools and Community Colleges Summit will address this challenge.
Since 2007, the Summit has highlighted best practices for green school programs. The 2019 conference will take place at the Pasadena Convention Center October 16-17.
The opening session will feature three leaders whose innovative facility and environmental education programs have attracted national attention: Timothy Baird, EdD, superintendent of Encinitas Union School District; Christos Chrysiliou, director of architectural and engineering services at LAUSD and Tony Knight, EdD, superintendent of Oak Park Unified School District.
Scores of green products and services will be on display in the Expo, from electric buses to green cleaning supplies. Education sessions will cover energy efficiency, water conservation, electric school buses, Zero Net Energy buildings, funding sources, environmental literacy and more. A EV Fleet Forum breakfast on October 17 will review current incentives, vehicles and charging infrastructure solutions. The annual Leadership Awards reception, honoring projects on California campuses, will take place on October 16.
For more information and to register, go to www.green-technology.org or call 626-577-5700.
Imagining the Next Generation of Green Schools
Green facility programs can help schools save money and create healthy learning environments that boost student performance. Increasingly, school leaders also see them as learning opportunities that can help them meet the state's environmental literacy requirements.
How can energy, water and building efforts be used to help students grasp environmental principles and concepts? This challenge will be addressed at the 2019 Green California Schools and Community Colleges conference, coming to the Pasadena Convention Center October 16-17.
Since 2007, the conference has helped school stakeholders throughout the state discover best practices for green school programs. Its aim is to give attendees insights and resources that can take their work to next level.
Scores of green products and services will be on display in the Expo, from electric buses to green cleaning supplies. Education sessions will cover energy efficiency, water conservation, electric school buses, Zero Net Energy buildings, funding sources, environmental literacy and more.
Greening School Fleets
Driven by a combination of funding and incentives, new vehicle types and mandates to reduce vehicle emissions, school districts are beginning to electrify their fleets. Funding is available to help support this transition from a variety of state, utility and air quality programs.
An EV Fleet Forum breakfast on October 17 will review current incentives, vehicles and charging infrastructure solutions. The program will include an introduction to Southern California Edison's Charge-Ready Transport Program, which offers districts an opportunity to have charging infrastructure installed at no cost.
Speakers from the California Energy Commission, the California Air Resources Board and other stakeholders will brief attendees on the latest news regarding current and future state support for EV purchases.
Hands-On with New Products and Services
"I am a huge proponent of my district of going to the conference," said Alan Glass, the energy manager for Northern California's Pittsburg Unified School District. "Not just for the workshops, but as importantly to see whatever new innovations are out there."
In fact, the Expo is one of the most popular features of the conference. The 2019 Expo will include everything from electric school buses and charging stations to flooring, design services, roofing and lighting. Government agencies and utility representatives are also on hand to discuss their programs resources and incentives.
Two days of concurrent education sessions will help attendees discover the workings of successful facility and curriculum projects on California campuses. Sources for project funding will also be covered. A Technology Showcase track will highlight innovations in solar power, tankless water heaters, HVAC, and more.
A Leadership Awards reception on October 16 will recognize work at the school, district and educator level. The awards are another way the Summit and its advisory board seek to support and encourage progress in the schools sector.
Sponsors of the Summit include Southern California Edison, Harley Ellis Devereaux, Kimberly Clark, the Energy Coalition, Eemax, Aermec North America, A-Gas, the Western Propane Gas Association and REC Solar.

In language, there are grammar rules, and then there are styles. Let's consider, for example, using a series in a sentence.
English grammar says that a series ought to be parallel.
Don't write this: Laine signed the contracts, the time sheets, and wrote his name on the paychecks.
Do write this: Laine signed the contracts, the time sheets, and the paychecks.
Then style comes into play. Oxford style says a comma should come before the last item in a series.
Laine signed the contracts, the time sheets, and the paychecks.
Associated Press style says that the final comma is unnecessary.
Laine signed the contracts, the time sheets and the paychecks.
So certain rules change according to which style you are following. Easy enough, you might say. Just use the right manual.
The trouble is, however, that grammar itself doesn't have a rule for every situation. At the very least, some rules are obscure.
Consider, for example, the situation described in "My Big Fat Greek Blog Post." Never in my education as an English major did anyone ever teach that adjectives are placed in order of opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. Nor does the possessive adjective "my" fit any of those categories.
Such gaps become most evident when teaching a language to non-native speakers. One of my daughters teaches English to adults in Belgium. Recently, her students asked which of these is correct: "A friend of Mary's" or "A friend of Mary." She suggested that both are correct and mean the same thing, but the first puts a slightly greater emphasis on Mary.
Then the students changed one word. What about "A photo of Mary's" versus "A photo of Mary"? In this case, of course, the meanings are entirely different. Depending on what they wanted to say, the students would have to choose one phrase or the other.
At times like these, grammarians are forced to invent a rule to describe (or fit) the situation. In a way, such scenarios define grammar—a set of rules describing how people use language. The language comes first; the description comes second. And style trails along after that.


Sumter mother charged with child cruelty after video surfaces of water being poured on sleeping baby's head for "payback"
A 33-year-old Dalzell woman has been charged with cruelty to children stemming from an investigation into a video showing the woman pour water on her child's head while the infant slept in her crib.
A warrant from the Sumter County Sheriff's Office alleges Caitlin Alyse Hardy caused "ill treatment, unnecessary pain and suffering and/or deprivation of necessary sustenance" to her 9-month-old daughter on Jan. 26 when she poured a bottle of water on the child's face while she was sleeping. The child woke up coughing after water was poured on her face a second time, according to a release from the sheriff's office.
Hardy, of Camden Highway, reportedly recorded the incident herself and posted it to her Facebook page.
A post from Hardy's Facebook page includes an image from the video and text that reads, "Payback for waking me up all kinda (sic) times of da (sic) night." Her social media profile can no longer be found through a search.
Screenshots and video of the incident were shared by other Facebook accounts, including one that shares information about alleged child abuse.
Hardy is charged with cruelty to children and was booked at the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center. She was released after posting a $1,500 personal recognizance bond Wednesday after a warrant was issued on Tuesday.
Numerous concerned individuals contacted the sheriff's office about the video and screenshots of the incident after it was posted to Facebook, states the release, and Sumter County Department of Social Services has been notified to also conduct a thorough investigation into the incident for the benefit and safety of all children in this home.
Sheriff Anthony Dennis said the charge against Hardy will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

VIZ Media Announces New Manga for the Fall
Posted on March 4, 2019 by Graphic Policy Team
VIZ Media has announced new manga publishing acquisitions set for release this coming fall.
New fall titles joining the VIZ Signature imprint include Cats of the Louvre, the latest masterpiece from Eisner Award-winning creator Taiyo Matsumoto. Acclaimed author Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human is adapted into chilling graphic novel form by the famed horror manga creator Junji Ito.
Additional acquisitions include Levius, a hardcover deluxe edition of the science fiction battle manga and its ongoing sequel series, Levius/Est. The Way of the HouseHusband is an action-packed comedy about a former yakuza legend trying to lead a law-abiding, domestic life as a househusband. And in No Guns Life, a gritty new action series, a former soldier with a cyborg body finds the war never ends for people with bodies like his. Finally, the Assassination Classroom Complete Box Set rounds out the new releases, collecting all 21 volumes of the hit high school action-adventure-comedy from Shonen Jump.
CATS OF THE LOUVRE
A surreal tale of the secret world of the cats of the Louvre by Eisner-Award winning creator Taiyo Matsumoto. The world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris contains more than just the most famous works of art in history. At night, within the darkened galleries, an unseen and surreal world comes alive – a world only witnessed by the small family of cats that live in the attic. Until now…
NO LONGER HUMAN
Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death. Osamu Dazai's immortal—and supposedly autobiographical—work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time to sublimate Yozo's mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.
It's the 19th Century and the world has entered the Era of Rebirth, recovering from the devastating flames of war. The sport of Mechanical Martial Arts has galvanized many nations. Cybernetically augmented fighters turn their blood into steam and their bodies into brutal fighting—and killing—machines. Young Levius is one of those arena battlers, hellbent on winning so he can simply survive.
In this ongoing series that picks up where LEVIUS ended, things look bleak in the aftermath of the Mechanical Arts arena battle. A new arrival inspires a sense of hope – but she might also signal the end of everything!
THE WAY OF THE HOUSEHUSBAND
It's a day in the life of your average househusband – if your average househusband is the legendary yakuza the "Immortal Dragon"!Yes, this former yakuza legend has left it all behind to become your everyday househusband. But it's not easy to walk away from the gangster life, and what should be mundane household tasks are anything but!
After the war, cyborg soldiers known as the Extended were discharged. Juzo Inui is one of them, a man whose body was transformed, his head replaced with a giant gun! With no memory of his previous life—or who replaced his head and why—Inui now scratches out a living in the dark streets of the city as a Resolver, taking on cases involving the Extended.
ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM COMPLETE BOX SET
The complete box set collection includes all 21 volumes of Assassination Classroom along with a premium two-sided color poster and a 32-page full-color mini artbook.
Ever caught yourself screaming, "I could just kill that teacher"? What would it take to justify such antisocial behavior and weeks of detention? Especially if he's the best teacher you've ever had? How about blowing up the moon and threatening to do the same to Mother Earth—unless you take him out first?! Plus a reward of a cool 100 million from the Ministry of Defense!

Shaky May's numbers may be enough – but Corbyn should have sounded out minor parties a month ago
Brian Barder
First, the basic numbers: there are 650 Commons seats. While 326 is an absolute majority, governing parties normally aim to pass the 322 mark because the seven Sinn Fein MPs do not take their seats.
The Tories are forecast to end up with 319 seats. Add 10 from the Democratic Unionist Party and you have 329.
Labour, meanwhile, had 261 MPs. When you add this to the SNP and Lib Dem groups, of 35 and 12, and the 13 which make up "others", then you have 321.
If the DUP agrees to support a continuing Conservative government, they will have 329 seats, a combined overall majority of eight. If the other left-of-centre parties were to agree to give conditional "confidence and supply" support to a minority Labour government, that informal 'progressive alliance' (not a coalition) would have 321 seats, which could form a majority when you take out the role of the Speaker and three deputies.
The arithmetic seems to point to a continuing Conservative government supported in major votes by the DUP – possibly on condition that Theresa May is replaced by a new Conservative leader and prime minister, although this is unlikely.
The Conservatives can legitimately claim the right to continue in office as easily the biggest single party (with 58 more seats than Labour) and with a good prospect of an overall majority of, probably, eight seats if supported by the DUP, seven or so seats ahead of a Labour-led progressive alliance with a small overall majority. But either minority government would be unlikely to survive for very long, which would imply an unavoidable second general election within a few months. The implications of this for the conduct of the Brexit negotiations would be dire.
In a continental European election a result like this would probably lead to the formation of a Grand Alliance coalition government including both Conservatives and Labour. There might be a good theoretical case for just such a national government specifically to manage the Brexit negotiations but the history of national governments in Britain is not a happy one (older Labour people will remember the fate of Ramsay MacDonald) and it is doubtful whether Corbyn's Labour and May's Tories have enough in common, even just on Brexit, to be able to collaborate in a coalition government together.
There remains the puzzle of why May thinks it necessary to go to the Palace today, in the BBC's words ,"to seek the Queen's permission to form a government".
The formal position is that as the incumbent prime minister heading a still functioning government then May has no need for anyone's permission, even the Queen's, to reshuffle her government, to present her programme for government in a Queen's Speech when parliament meets on Monday week, and there to seek a vote of confidence for it in the Commons.
If she loses that vote despite the probable support of the DUP, and only then, would she have to resign. The Queen's advisers would then need to decide whether she should ask Jeremy Corbyn to form a minority government, with its questionable ability to muster a majority in the Commons, or instead to dissolve parliament forthwith and call a fresh election – with the real possibility that the result would be the same, and with worrying implications for the Brexit negotiations.
Corbyn's case for having an opportunity to try to form a government able to command the support of a majority in the house of commons in the event of May failing to do so would have been greatly strengthened if he had been actively seeking the conditional support, on a "confidence and supply" basis, of the other progressive parties before the election for a minority Labour government. But Labour's stubborn tribalism prevented that, and even now both Corbyn and McDonnell are ruling out even any informal "deal" with other parties, instead simply challenging them to bring down a minority Labour government and having to justify to the electorate the likely consequences of bringing about such a constitutional impasse. We are living in interesting times!

Kapiti Mayor K Gurunathan says if policy is adopted local businesses could make their own decision to open or not on Easter Sunday.
From Monday 4 September, Kapiti residents now have the opportunity to be heard about whether Easter Sunday shop trading should be allowed on the Kapiti Coast.
Last week the Auckland City Council rejected the possibility of lifting the ban that prohibits certain retailers from trading on Easter Sunday. Auckland CC decided that allowing businesses to open on Easter Sunday would undermine worker rights. This follows a similar decision from the Hamilton City Council.
Retail NZ's general manager of public affairs Greg Harford, has expressed the disappointment Retail NZ feels over the decision.
"Today's decision shows that Auckland Council is not really interested in supporting business or consumer choice, and that it isn't interested in creating a level playing field for businesses across the Auckland region," he says.
Kapiti Mayor K Gurunathan says if a policy was adopted after consultation, local businesses could make their own decision to open or not on Easter Sunday. Employees have the legal right to refuse to work on Easter Sunday. Certain specified businesses, like dairies, petrol stations, and takeaways, are already able to trade if they wish under the existing legislation.
"This is a really important community debate that is happening all around the country right now. Locally, we are going to see extremely strong views for and against opening businesses on Easter Sunday. It's really essential that we have this conversation and not shy away from it."
So that there could be a public conversation on the topic, the Council's Strategy and Policy Committee yesterday proposed a draft policy for an Easter Sunday shop trading consultation.
If a policy is adopted by Council following consultation, Easter Sunday shop trading could come into effect by 2018. If a policy is not adopted, only the few shops currently permitted by law to open would be open.
Further information and advice from central government agencies on trading rules, as well as instructions for how to submit opinions during the public consultation period, are available through the Kapiti Council website.
Consultation closes on 8 October 2017.

Brain Scans Using New Dye May Predict Alzheimer's
WEDNESDAY, July 11 (HealthDay News) -- Brain scans using a new radioactive dye can detect early evidence of Alzheimer's disease in people who show little or no signs of the disease and may help predict future mental decline, a new study says.
It included 151 people who completed thinking and memory tests and underwent a PET (positron emission tomography) brain scan with the new dye called florbetapir (Amyvid). They were then followed for three years.
The dye binds to amyloid plaques that occur in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, enabling doctors to see if patients have the plaques and how much.
At the start of the study, 69 patients had normal mental function, 51 had mild impairment and 31 had Alzheimer's disease.
After 18 months, thinking and memory test results of patients who started off with mild impairment and whose brain scans revealed evidence of amyloid plaques worsened to a greater degree than those who had mild impairment but had no evidence of plaques at the start of the study.
The patients with amyloid plaques at the outset were also more likely to go on to develop Alzheimer's. After three years, 29 percent of the plaque-positive patients with mild impairment developed Alzheimer's compared with 10 percent of those with mild impairment who had no plaques at the start of the study.
Among participants with normal mental function at the start of the study, those with evidence of brain plaques showed more mental decline after 18 months than those with no sign of plaques.
"Even at a short follow-up of 18 months we can see how the presence of amyloid plaques affects cognitive [thinking] function," study co-leader Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, a professor of psychiatry at Duke University, said in a university news release. "Most people who come to the doctor with mild impairment really want to know the short-term prognosis and potential long-term effect."
There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but being able to detect the early stages of Alzheimer's could help advance efforts to find ways to fight the disease and enhance the care and treatment of current patients, he explained.
"For the most part we have been blind about who would progress and who wouldn't, so this approach is a step toward having a biomarker that predicts risk of decline in people who are experiencing cognitive impairment," Doraiswamy said.
The study, published online July 11 in the journal Neurology, was funded by Eli Lilly/Avid Radiopharmaceuticals, which markets Amyvid. Doraiswamy receives advisory and speaker fees from Lilly/Avid.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Amyvid was approved in April for use in imaging tests for patients being evaluated for Alzheimer's.

When contemplating a theme for volume 12 of the loveDANCEmore performance journal, I considered that there are thousands of dance artists yet the same handful of individuals and companies tour, listing and re-listing one another on their bios. The upcoming journal explores whether this is a reflection of artistic merit (probably) or whether it sparks deeper questions regarding the presentation of concert dance in the contemporary moment (definitely).
Who/what bodies is/are represented on the concert dance stage?
Whose labor (of performance, creation, administration, education) is marked invisible; how and why does this happen?
In what ways has the label 'contemporary' been defined? Who is included and excluded in that definition?
Most crucially, how do artists disrupt these hierarchies and make their work visible?
In order to explore these issues, most particularly as they impact Salt Lake City, the Mountain West, and other midsize cities in the United States, loveDANCEmore is releasing an open call for submissions.
Submissions could be scholarly, storytelling, photos, poetry, or other kinds of content. Please send submissions to Liz Ivkovich, at admin@lovedancemore.org by March 15, 2016.

loveDANCEmore @ the Alt Press Fest/a call for submissions….
loveDANCEmore had a great time yesterday giving away volume eight of our performance journal at Alt Press Fest at the City Library. In addition to handing out journals, we also had on hand a small library of books on dance and I, Samuel Hanson (in my role as new media coordinator) was screening documentation and dance films from our archives. I met a great deal of diverse people, including one guy who sat and watched dance films for almost an hour, and another gentleman who lived in LA, but used to teach ballet in the building that houses SLAC almost thirty years ago. It was also great to hang out with the nice people from SLUG (Alex Ortega), Craft Lake City (Nancy Burgess) and the other artists who shared their work with me (Amy Childress and Sam Milianta).
I also got to tell people a little about what I am planning for this winter's journal, which I'm tentatively titling/theme-ing "Road Trip". I'd like to include a lot more artwork and imagery around dance (this issue is a little word heavy as you may have noticed), but as always, we're open to submissions of almost any kind that relate to dance, be they critical or academic articles, photo essays, crayon drawings, performance texts or scores etc.
The deadline for those sorts of things is August 9th. Questions about that may be directed to me at lovedancemore@gmail.com or at my personal email, samuel.b.hanson@gmail.com. Independent of that deadline however is the ongoing opportunity to write coverage for the blog about any and all events related to dance in Salt Lake City. If there's a show you'd like to write about, let us know at lovedancemore@gmail.com.


You like your meatballs a-spicy. Your lamb kebabs? Seasoned with skill. And you wouldn't think of putting a bland salad anywhere near your dinner guests. Forget being a spice cadet. You're a lieutenant of tang. And with your spice selection working so hard, it deserves a proper home that's prettier than ugly plastic supermarket vessels. And you're happy to give it to them once we give you a teaspoon full of sage spice advice on the best ways to organize your herbs. Let's get spicy.
1. Hexagon Magnetic Jars ($135): Geometry nerds are clicking "add to shopping cart" right now.
8. Kashmiri Spice Tins ($226): At that price, you'd think you were buying gold. But nope! Just incredibly pretty tins filled with spices.
9. Test Tubes ($42): If you are or if you know of a food scientist, is there really any other spice rack that will do? We think not.
11. Pantry Style ($17): Retro kitchens, come and get 'em.
13. Periodic Table ($33): Although we don't really remember Walt and Jesse using anything smaller than a beaker, we still get some Breaking Bad vibes from this guy.
14. Cylindra ($15): Set it on the counter, mount it on the wall, stack it up if you get the urge. The creator says the containers were modeled after petri dishes, but we're definitely getting makeup compact from them.
If you think the spice is right, let us know in the comments below!


ATHENS — In this famously fractious country, there is one thing on which almost all Greeks agree: They do not want genetically modified crops grown, sold or eaten here.
"All political parties are opposed," said Theodore Koliopanos, a legislator and former deputy environment minister, "which is odd because we disagree on everything else."
Greece and a few other countries in the European Union that have banned genetically modified organisms are on the front lines of a war over the future of modified food in Europe, the only large swath of the world that does not already grow or buy the crops. Facing international pressure and a lawsuit brought by the United States, Canada and Argentina at the World Trade Organization, the union said this year that all member states must open their doors to genetically engineered crops and prepare practical and legal regulations to ensure safety for health and the environment.
But five countries have imposed eight different types of bans. Many others use their votes in Europe's Council of Ministers to block the crops from entering.
The battle does more than pit the World Trade Organization against the European Union. It also creates a divide across the Atlantic, between European allies on the one hand, and the United States and Canada, which produce the vast majority of such seeds and crops, on the other. The United States is not shy about enlisting its diplomats to push European countries to admit the modified crops, European politicians say.
But European consumers and farmers generally do not want them, leaving the European Union to try to steer a Solomonic course between conflicting interests. The basic problem is that Europeans, whose food culture has developed over centuries, balk at putting biotech crops in their fields or their mouths.
"We think we have a good policy but we have discovered extreme reluctance among consumers and many member states to move forward with G.M.O.'s, who again and again block the approvals," said Barbara Helferrich, a spokeswoman for the union's Environment Directorate.
Since the union is a common market, lawmakers in Brussels demand a unified solution. So a seed that is sold in Britain has to be sold in Poland and Greece as well. But critics say that countries should be permitted to decide if they will accept a risk, however small, noting, for example, that unpasteurized milk is legal in France but not in Britain.
But while there is little, if any, scientific evidence that genetically modified foods are harmful, in much of Europe they are so unpopular that mainstream supermarket giants like Migros will not stock them. In surveys, consumers say they are unconvinced that genetically modified crops are safe, particularly for the environment.
"The environment minister who gives in and allows G.M.O.'s into this country will never be minister again," said Nikos Lappas, head of Greece's largest farmers' union. "For farmers, forcing G.M.O.'s would be economic suicide, since our market doesn't want them."
But producers of genetically modified products (and the countries they represent) are aggressively pursuing their case at the W.T.O. and with individual governments, spurred by an untapped European market.
"The first visit any new minister in Greece gets is from the U.S. ambassador saying, 'You need to have G.M.O.'s,' " said Mr. Koliopanos. "The pressure is incredible."
Biotech companies like Monsanto and Syngenta insist that the crops should be immediately admitted to Europe, because genetically engineered foods have been consumed in much of the world for a decade without obvious ill effects. Their safety, said Christopher Horner, a Monsanto spokesman, has been "ratified by numerous credible regulatory and scientific authorities."
Simon Barber, of EuropaBio, an industry group in Brussels, said: "The E.U. has put systems in place to deal with G.M.O.'s, and now the market has to be allowed to operate. If member states are breaking E.U. law, we expect the commission to take action."
The office of the United States trade representative maintains that "the E.U. is imposing undue delays on biotech approvals, resulting in delays and preventing the marketing of many crops grown in the U.S." The United States grows 220 million acres of genetically modified crops — by far the world's leader — and almost none of it is sold to the European Union. From 1998 to 2004, the European Union imposed a de facto moratorium on farming of genetically modified crops while its officials studied the issue and mulled ways to keep biotech crops and other crops distinct.
Genetically engineered seeds and plants contain genes that were inserted in a laboratory that give them special advantages, like resisting common pests. But pollen from those crops can spread in the air from field to field, intermixing with pollen from conventional crops.
Once genetically modified crops enter a country's food production, it can be difficult and costly to keep the food chain free of them because there is mixing of plants from farms in milling and in production.
Greece and other European Union members say such issues make any cultivation of biotech plants impossible because they would quickly infiltrate both agriculture and the food supply. In much of Europe, where small farms are the norm, it is hard to create "buffer zones" between fields on adjacent farms.
"I would guess we may be able to keep them apart in U.K., but it would be difficult in Greece because of the issue of size," said Julian Kinderlerer of the Institute of Biotechnical Law and Ethics at the University of Sheffield in England.
Europe's agricultural insurers will not cover farmers for liability should their genetically modified crops contaminate adjacent fields.
"I started with an open mind on this but now I think the answers are clear," said Mr. Lappas, of the Greek farmers' union. "If our market doesn't buy it, and insurers won't insure us, how can we grow it?" Indeed, in many areas that have blocked genetically engineered crops, small farmers survive by producing niche food, like unique, high-quality vegetables and grain; there is a premium for food that is not genetically modified.
"This is a cutthroat global market, and if all we do is cultivate mass-produced G.M. corn, we're finished, since other nations will be able to provide that cheaper," Mr. Lappas said.
In Poland, 1.5 million farms are still mostly farmed without pesticides, giving that nation the opportunity to become an important producer of natural foods, according to the International Coalition to Protect the Polish Countryside, which has lobbied for a national ban.
To the biotech industry and major producers, the issue is simple: genetically modified corn is just corn, genetically modified wheat is just wheat and there is no scientific reason to differentiate.
Industry groups argue that products should not even be labeled modified or free of modification because the labels are unfair trade barriers.
"Labeling has turned out to be a stigma because the public is so frightened, and retailers have become easy targets," said Mr. Barber, of EuropaBio. "Look at the Greenpeace Web site with its list of brands that use G.M.'s. We're O.K. with consumers making a choice, but we're leery because they're scared, and we're labeling identical products."
Genetically modified seeds are approved case by case, and once the European Commission has approved a seed for planting, the only legal reason that a country can enforce a ban is if "new scientific evidence" shows it would be harmful.
But recently, each time the commission has approved a new product, the Council of Ministers (representing the member states) has voted against it, creating an impasse.
In addition, some countries still say modified seeds are unsafe, invoking the so-called scientific exception.
"They haven't provided any new evidence," said Michael J. Phillips, a vice president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization in Washington.
The European Food Safety Authority of the European Union provides scientific judgments on matters like new evidence. The European Commission and the Council of Ministers have also referred their impasses to the safety agency.
But this agency's core mandate concerns food safety, and even the union's environment commissioner, Stavros Dimas, said recently that it had not looked adequately at the long-term effects of biotech crops on issues like biodiversity.
At a recent meeting with disgruntled member states in Brussels, Harry A. Kuiper, chairman of the agency's panel on genetically modified crops, defended its work, noting that its experts had just six months to review each submission.
The European Union still hopes to win over reluctant members, and so far has taken none to court. But environmental groups vow to resist any pressure from Brussels.
"The E.U. policy of just pushing forward with the technology is utter blindness," said Helen Holder, a spokeswoman for Friends of the Earth in Europe. "Genetic contamination is unavoidable and irreversible and will only increase over time."


This page is dedicated to research methodology notes, articles and examples. Research methodology is an organized approach to address a problem. It is a science of studying how research is to be performed. Essentially, the processes by which investigators go about their work of describing, detailing and forecasting phenomena are called research methodology. It is also defined as the study of methods through which knowledge is acquired. Its aim is to give the work plan of research.
A methodology is the design procedure for performing research or the development of a process and is not by itself a tool for performing those activities. It is a process utilized to collect data for the objective of making business decisions. The research methodology normally includes publication research, interviews, surveys, etc. It can include both present and historical information. A Methodology isn't going to provide solutions but provides the theoretical underpinning for understanding which technique, set of approaches can be used to a specific situation. Usually for almost any research study both primary and secondary research are carried out that helps in the better understanding of the whole research. Primary research helps gather appropriate and adequate data of the present situation related to any topic and offers an understanding into the exact nature of the problem.
There are numerous methods to approach the research which fulfills the needs of a project. These could vary both within and between disciplines. You should consider the expectations and possibilities concerning research in your own field.
The characteristics of interest determine what there is regarding the units which is of concern to the decision maker. These characteristics belong to two classes: the dependent variables and the independent variables. We will discuss about the 2 * 2 matrix created by Frank, Massy, and Wind also.
Exploratory research operates as a source for building ideas that are then subjected to additional research investigation. It helps make certain that a far more comprehensive, definitive future research is not going to start with an inadequate understanding of the character of the problem. The most crucial features of exploratory research is its potential for future research.
Exploratory Research Design is usually versatile and dynamic and can be rooted in existing literature. Having said that, it costs a lot and may be unsuccessful. The primary goal of exploratory research is to enhance a researcher's understanding of a topic. It can help to discover possible methods to accomplish decision makers goals.
The objective of trustworthiness in qualitative studies is to support the argument that the inquiry's outcomes are "worth paying attention to". This really is not the same as typical experimental precedent of attempting to show validity, soundness, and significance. Trustworthiness has developed into an important concept because it allows researchers to explain the virtues of qualitative terms outside the parameters which are often utilized in quantitative research.
The primary role and intent behind research is to help plan and accumulate information on a particular theme. Research really helps to keep track of something before performing it and also helps to discover new stuff by gathering and looking out for what others would have done. The article talks about the role of research in various fields like: government, production, banking, marketing, human resource development and materials.
The importance of research in many fields of applied economics, whether linked to business, market, commerce, trade, services or to the economy in general, has greatly increased nowadays. Research helps the organization to boost its productivity and reduce cost.
Exploratory research is a methodological technique which is mainly focused on discovery and with producing or building theory. In a pure sense, all research is exploratory. I have provided quite a few exploratory research examples in this article which will help you to understand the subject easily.
Internal validity says that variations in the dependent variable come from variations in the independent variable(s) – not from other confounding factors. In tests, internal validity can also be depending upon how much control has been achieved in the study while collecting data. Some examples of internal validity threats are also provided in this article.

Indigenous Sanitation Worker Takes Seat in Argentinian Legislature
Post on: November 1, 2017
Left Voice
Alejandro Vilca is an indigenous socialist who recently won a seat in the state legislature in Argentina. What politics does he propose?
Alejandro Vilca doesn't look like the other members of the state legislature in Jujuy, a province in the North of Argentina. Of indigenous descent, he stands out amongst the European looking Argentine city council members.
Most importantly, Vilca doesn't have the same kind of politics as the other candidates in the state legislature. In the most recent elections, the right wing party Frente Renovador won 60% of the vote in Jujuy, one of the one of the poorest province in Argentina. Vilca is a socialist, who has been a member of the Party of Socialist Workers for 20 years. His campaign centered around the fight for the six-hour work day with no reduction in wages, as well as the demand that every politician receive the same salary as a teacher. As a member of the state legislature, he, like the rest of the Party of Socialist Workers (Partido de Trabajadores Socialistas, or PTS), will get the same pay as a teacher and donate the rest to workers' struggles. He believes in revolution and fights for a government in the hands of the working class.
Alejandro Vilca, who has absolutely nothing in common with your run of the mill politician, came in third in the midterm elections last week, missing the second spot by a little more than 1% of the vote. He won 18% percent of the vote, an unprecedented number for a revolutionary of indigenous descent.
Vilca is part of the Left and Workers Front (Frente de Izquierda y Trabajadores, or FIT), an electoral coalition of three Trotskyist parties in Argentina: the Party of Socialist Workers, the Workers' Party, and the Socialist Left. More than 1.2 million people in Argentina cast their ballots for the FIT last week in Argentina's midterm elections. In Jujuy, the FIT won 4 seats in the state legislature and 5 in city councils. This is all the more remarkable given that the elections marked the rise of the right wing and the fall of Kirshner's pink tide government.
Read more about the elections here.
The Patient Organizing of an Indigenous Trotskyist
Vilca grew up in Jujuy, Argentina in a working class neighborhood. His mother raised five kids on her own by working as a maid, always struggling to make ends meet. With great effort, Vilca made it to college.
He became a militant of the PTS when he was in college, fighting against a right-wing educational reform law. He has spent the last 20 years as a socialist militant in his hometown of Jujuy, working to build a revolutionary and working-class alternative there.
Vilca's path to becoming a garbage collector has everything to do with his organizing. At first, he was subcontracted by the state and helped organize subcontracted state workers in Health, Education, and other state departments. He was blacklisted as a result of his organizing, so he and a group of activists were transferred to garbage collection in Barrio Alto — the Siberia of subcontracted work. But Vilca did not stop organizing. There, he organized against subcontracting, and finally, in 2014, he and his co-workers won the right to full workers rights and contracts from the state.
Vilca says, "I'm a garbage worker who lives in Alto Comedero, a very poor part of town. That has a big impact because here most of the candidates are businessmen. So I think that by putting up a candidate who makes a living picking up trash, our campaign generated a lot of sympathy and expectations."
Vilca talks about having the support of the workers, the women, and the youth in Jujuy. His success is not due to a stroke of luck but due to patient sowing of years of militant work. His is the patience of a Kolla (indigenous group) and of a Trotskyist. "I claim my Kolla descent, but I am a garbage worker and a militant of the Party of Socialist Workers," Vilca says.
A Working Class Response
Jujuy is well known as a capital of exploitation and political persecution. Just recently, the state witnessed the illegal detention of activist Milagro Sala. There is also a history of persecution of union leaders, as well as a history the government bringing criminal charges against activists, evicting street vendors, and repressing youth in poor neighborhoods. 42% of the people in Jujuy live in poverty. 50% of workers are subcontracted. The consciousness of this very poor state is not very developed. This explains in part why the right wing party won over 60% of the vote in the recent elections and managed to secure two of the three seats in Congress representing Jujuy.
Vilca was a candidate in 2013 and 2015, when he missed winning a seat on the city council by just 1,000 votes. Gaston Remy, an economist and teacher who ran on the same ticket as Vilca says, "At this point, we have built a base of support. Our voters are increasingly aware that they are supporting an anti-capitalist project that fights for a workers' government. This is also something that annoys the powerful, who consider that workers always have to vote for their exploiters- for business politicians."
Yet, this year, even more people joined the campaign for Vilca. There were hundreds of volunteers in the small town. Vilca says, "This demonstrates that there is enthusiasm in the working class, that it's possible to take on the powerful sectors of society. So this is a historic outcome in an election that fills the working class, which puts up a fight every day, with enthusiasm."
In the primary elections, Vilca came in second place, beating the Peronist candidate– a first time for the left in an election. He got 12% of the vote. In the most recent elections, Vilca received even more votes: a total of 18%.
A vote for the working class, a vote for women's rights
It is true that a vote for Vilca won't change Argentina, and it is also true that propelling Vilca into Congress won't bring about a workers' government. The parties of the FIT have no illusions that you can elect your way to socialism. However, a vote for Vilca does mean breaking with the caste of businessmen who run as politicians. A vote for Vilca means recognizing on some level that the capitalists and the workers don't have the same interests; it is a measure of class consciousness.
However, it is not only the issue of class that draws workers and young people to the FIT. Vilca, along with the candidates of the FIT, speak out for women's rights. With the massive NiUnaMenos movement that brought thousands into the streets against femicide, putting women's issues on the agenda is not uncommon for politicians. What is uncommon is the concrete proposals put forward by Vilca and the rest of the FIT candidates. Vilca says, "Jujuy has one of the highest per capita femicide rates in the country. So far this year at least 8 women have been murdered. During the campaign, along with members of Pan y Rosas, we put forward a National Emergency Plan against violence against women. This has been supported by thousands of women. While other parties opportunistically claim to support women's rights, our policy to win full rights for women is based on a strategy of unifying workers to fight for women's rights from an anti-capitalist and socialist perspective."
It is the struggle for the rights of the most exploited and oppressed that draws people to Vilca and to the FIT. He says, "The contrast with our candidates is enormous, not only because of [my] indigenous ancestry, but also because of the class character of our working class candidates. Everyone sees us as 'one of their own.' This ethnic and class identity of the FIT support has strengthened people's understanding that there is a need to have working class people in political posts who are also at every roadblock, who face the repression side by side with the workers… Many young people and women also feel connected to our ideas because they see that the left is putting forth a future that is worth fighting for."

Supergirl Season 3: Can Kara Get Past Reign to Save Samantha?
by Dan Wickline
In the most recent episode of Supergirl, Alex (Chyler Leigh) was able to reach Julia Freeman (Krys Marshall) even though Purity had taken control. The move likely saved Kara (Melissa Benoist) and set her on the path of trying to save the Worldkillers rather than trying to defeat them. This is exactly the tiny hint of hope that Supergirl would need to believe that someone is redeemable. Throw in that when they were on Fort Rozz, Psi (Yael Grobglas) was able to find Samantha (Odette Annable) inside the mind of Reign and force the change back long enough to make Reign flee.

Will Supergirl be able to reach Sam while Reign is in charge? Will she be able to save her friend over defeating her enemy? Annable told EW.com:
"I don't think Reign is worried about her power in any way. That's one of the reasons I love playing this character — because there's no gray area for her. It's very black or white. She sees something and she's going to get it. She has orders and she's going to get it. There isn't any swaying her. She's very decided, she knows what she needs, and that's what she goes for."
Now, is that a sign that Reign is just too powerful to be defeated… or is she overconfident?
Supergirl returns April 16th to the CW.
