China Medical University (CMU) was the first medical school established by the Chinese Communist Party. Its precursor was the Chinese Workers'-Peasants' Red Army Military Medical School and Chinese Workers'-Peasants' Red Army Health School founded in Ruijin city, Jiangxi province in 1931. After the Long March with the red army, it moved to Shan-bei. In 1940, proposed by comrade Mao Zedong and approved by the central committee of Chinese Communist Party, the name of the school was changed to China Medical University. CMU now has 18 colleges, faculties and sections, 130 departments, 34 disciplines(specialties) were authorized to grant doctor degrees and 49 were authorized to grant master's degrees; 11 specialties for undergraduates; 8 provincial research and treatment centers, 3 municipal research centers; 21 educational and research institutes or centers, 8 central laboratories of the university or its colleges; 15 independent research laboratories; 3 companies of science and technology.

The area known today as Fort Monroe was originally explored by Captain Christopher Newport in 1607. Named in honor of President James Monroe, Fort Monroe is the largest stone fort built in the United States. Construction began in 1819 and was completed in 1834.
In the mid-1990s, the federal government decided to close Fort Monroe as a military base. On November 1, 2011, President Barack Obama signed an executive order granting national monument status to Fort Monroe. Today, Fort Monroe is open to the public and is currently in the master land-planning process.
Fort Monroe's myriad of historic buildings will be preserved and adaptively reused with the help of federal and state tax incentives – creating opportunities for developers.
From the beautiful natural landscape and rich historic past to exciting public events and programs, come visit to see all that Fort Monroe has to offer.

Q: Why do max and min get called after subscription yields values? I have a collection of objects that I need to know what the number range is before I process any items in the collection. I came up with code similar to what is below, and it seems to give the correct answer:
var arr = Rx.Observable.fromArray([10,-10,4,-5,20,4,7]),
//In actual code this is an array of objects, so have a custom compare function
numberComparer = function(a,b) { return a-b; };

//In actual code this is prefixed by a filter and mapping operation
arr.flatMap(function(x) {
    return Rx.Observable.zip(
        arr.max(numberComparer),
        arr.min(numberComparer),
        function(max, min) {
            return {
                stats: {max: max, min: min},
                item: x
            };
        }
    );
})
.subscribe(function(item) {
    DoStuffWithItem(item.item, item.stats);
});

But I'm a bit confused about what is going on behind the scenes. The comparer functions are giving the right answers when the first item is yielded to the subscribe method, but then they continue to be called between item yields.
Here is a JSBin showing what I mean. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a better, more Rx-y way to do this? What I was expecting to happen was that the max and min values would be computed first, and then the subscription function would be invoked with no other calls to max or min.
Edit: It looks like maybe the behavior is that it is continuously recomparing with what hasn't been output yet, which explains partially why I'm seeing the behavior. I just don't understand why it is doing that (and how to make it stop) :)

A: Your second example is on the right track. I would recommend the use of when() and and thenDo instead though, it should have the same behavior, but you can more clearly convey your intent and you don't have to worry about synchronization.
    var minMax = Rx.Observable.when(
    filteredArray.max().and(filteredArray.min())
    .thenDo(function(x, y) {
      return { max : x, min : y};
    }));

    minMax.flatMap(function() {
          return filteredArray;
    }, function(stats, x) {
          return {stats : stats, value : x};
    });

Here is a modifed version of the example.
Since this is not the most efficient way to compute minMax because you are running through the array twice, you could further optimize by creating your own minMax operator with reduce().
Rx.Observable.prototype.minMax = function(comparer) {

  var source = this,
      c = comparer || function(x, y) {
    return x - y;
  };

  return source.reduce(function(seed, x) {

     if (c(x, seed.min) < 0) (seed.min = x);
     if (c(x, seed.max) > 0) (seed.max = x);

    return seed;

  }, {min : Number.MAX_VALUE, max : Number.MIN_VALUE });

};

PURPOSE: Bioaerosols and their constituents, such as endotoxins, are capable of causing an inflammatory reaction at the level of the lung-blood barrier, which becomes more permeable. Thus, it was hypothesized that occupational exposure to bioaerosols can increase leakage of surfactant protein-D (SP-D), a lung-specific protein, into the bloodstream.
METHODS: SP-D was determined by ELISA in 316 wastewater workers, 67 garbage collectors, and 395 control subjects. Exposure was assessed with four interview-based indicators and by preliminary endotoxin measurements using the Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay. Influence of exposure on serum SP-D was assessed by multiple linear regression considering smoking, glomerular function, lung diseases, obesity, and other confounders.
RESULTS: Overall, mean exposure levels to endotoxins were below 100 EU/m(3). However, special tasks of wastewater workers caused higher endotoxin exposure. SP-D concentration was slightly increased in this occupational group and associated with the occurrence of splashes and contact to raw sewage. No effect was found in garbage collectors. Smoking increased serum SP-D. No clinically relevant correlation between spirometry results and SP-D concentrations appeared.
CONCLUSIONS: These results support the hypothesis that inhalation of bioaerosols, even at low concentrations, has a subclinical effect on the lung-blood barrier, the permeability of which increases without associated spirometric changes.

Man Found Guilty on All Charges in Violent Virginia Home Invasion
A jury rejected the defense's claim that Andrew Schmuhl was 'involuntarily intoxicated' when he attacked a couple in their home
By Julie Carey, Northern Virginia Bureau Chief and Ellie Hartleb	• Published June 14, 2016 • Updated on June 14, 2016 at 8:12 pm
The man accused of almost killing a couple during a violent home invasion in Virginia in November 2014 was found guilty of all seven charges Tuesday for the hours-long attack in which he stabbed, shot and tased the couple.
A jury found Andrew Schmuhl, a former military lawyer, responsible for breaking into the McLean home of lawyer Leo Fisher and his wife, Sue Duncan, and then holding them captive for hours as he tortured them.
In the weeks of Schmuhl's trial, prosecutors argued the incident was an act of revenge against Fisher, who had fired Schmuhl's wife, Alecia, from his law firm weeks earlier. They said the attack was well planned and carefully executed, but the Schmuhls left out one critical detail in their planning.
"They overlooked one vital thing -- that is the will of the human spirit," said Chief Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Casey Lingan. "The will of a human being to fight for their life. The will despite severed arteries and severed veins to pull an alarm."
Investigators said they found Duncan's bloody hand print on the home's panic alarm after she had played dead in front of Schmuhl.
The defense attempted to paint a much different picture of the events that unfolded in those hours. They claimed Schmuhl was taking dozens of medications for back pain and was so heavily under the influence of those drugs that he did not know what he was doing during the attack.
The defense tried to pin the entire plot on Alecia Schmuhl, whom they say purchased prepaid cell phones and tasers while her husband waited in the car.
But prosecutors said Schmuhl is a con artist and always has been. They claimed he made up his back pain to get access to prescription medications.
The jury rejected the defense's claim that Schmuhl was "involuntarily intoxicated" by the litany of drugs he was on at the time.
Schmuhl will be sentenced at 10 a.m. Thursday. The five most serious charges carry a term of five years to life.
His wife will be tried in September.
Fisher's law firm released a statement supporting the verdict.
"We are grateful that the jury's guilty verdicts in the prosecution of Andrew Schmuhl for his brutal assault of our friend and colleague, Leo Fisher, and his wife Sue Duncan, mark the beginining of closure for them," the statement said. "This was a horrific ordeal no one can fully grasp."

DSA Holds Virtual Town Hall with US Congresspeople
Starting the last week of April, the Direct Selling Association held a series of three Virtual Town Hall Meetings, all focusing on different aspects of the current state of business during the outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting economic crisis. First, DSA and Isagenix International hosted U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) on April 29. Sen. Sinema provided an update on federal, state and local initiatives related to the global pandemic, as well as emphasized the opportunity that businesses, including direct selling, have to provide practical support for people as well as personal connection at a crucial time. On the same day, salesforce members from AdvoCare, Kynect, and Thirty-One Gifts participated in a virtual Women's Entrepreneurship Roundtable with U.S. Congressman Van Taylor (TX-03) and the DSA. The roundtable discussion focused on small business and getting women involved in entrepreneurship, as well as the insights that women in the channel can provide to others as they adapt to running a business during a pandemic while investing in their community. On April 30, the DSA hosted U.S. Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ) for the second virtual town hall. Brian Palmer, founder of DSA Supplier Krato, and Senator McSally each discussed the government resources available for small businesses and independent contractors, including the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), with McSally sharing how she was able to contribute as a Senator to making those funds available to individuals. On May 1, the DSA hosted its final town hall with U.S. Representatives John Curtis (R-UT) and Ben McAdams (D-UT) as well as Utah direct sellers. Rep. Curtis provided an update on how federal policies would impact direct selling, while Rep. McAdams shared his appreciation of direct sellers—so many are based in Utah—as they help support their communities in his district.

This month, Lexus has re-introduced cash back rebates on nearly all models. They originally offered cash-back rebates last August, but discontinued them at the end of the year.
But unlike last time, these cash rebates are in addition to some great lease deals (last time it was an either/or situation). For example, the Lexus GS is offering $2,000 cash back or lease payments that are $50 per month lower than previous months.
CarsDirect has an in-depth writeup on Lexus' new incentives strategy.

Exchange Flags is a Grade II listed building in Liverpool, England. It is laid out in a 'U' shape, with Walker House situated on the west side and Horton House on the east side. Walker House (formerly known as Derby House) was adapted during its construction to include a reinforced bunker that housed the Western Approaches Command Headquarters, the command centre for the campaign waged against the German submarine fleet during the Second World War. The courtyard faces Liverpool Town Hall and contains the Nelson Monument.

History

The current buildings sit on the same site of two previous exchanges in Liverpool. The building has eleven storeys and has a combination of flat and mansard roofs. Construction of the main building was completed in 1939 but the construction of Walker House was interrupted by the war. The inclusion of the reinforced bunker to house the command centre for the Battle of the Atlantic meant that Walker House wasn't finished until 1941. The two storey underground bunker covers an area of 55,000 square feet and had a staff of over 1,00 Royal Airforce and Royal Navy personnel. Ventilation to the bunker was provided via a ventilation shaft that was built into the Nelson Monument.
The bunker was closed on 15 August 1945 after the end of the war but was re-opened in 1993 as the Western Approaches Museum.

Horton House was not completed until 1955 and is named after Admiral Sir Max Horton who was commander-in-chief of the Western Approaches during the war.

The site was purchased in the late 1980s by Liverpool businessman Bill Davies, the former owner of Aintree Racecourse. The building was left largely empty until it was sold in two separate deals in 2006 and 2007. Shelbourne Asset Management bought the site in 2017 for £42m and sold it to its current owners, Ashtrom, for £68m in August 2019.

Berlin's iconic Griessmuehle may be forced to close this month
Liam McGrath January 16, 2020 FeaturesNews
The future of Berlin nightclub Griessmuehle is uncertain and worrying, as their lease isn't renewed and the land is set to be sold to yet another property developer after January 31st.
Berlin is known internationally for it's nightlife, specifically focussed on electronic music. It has been deemed the 'Techno Capital' of Europe and has both visitors and residents who are there specifically for the unique nightlife.
Griessmuehle is one of Berlin's most renowned and appreciated nightclubs. It's known for it's massive weekend long parties and line ups, its intimate and inviting atmosphere, the silo, the amazing outdoor area which is home to an array of tree houses, burnt out cars, swings and of course the amazing canal, which is definitely one of the best places to watch the sun rise on a Sunday or Monday morning.
Berlin clubs account for a massive part of the city's identity, economy and culture and unfortunately, they've recently come under fire and been facing some of the same issues our clubs here in Ireland have been facing, except the licensing hours of course.
Club culture and nightlife has been protected and supported by the German government typically, which is no surprise given that it is estimated over €1.5 Billion in revenue was brought in from the night economy in 2018.
Berlin has lost some of it's iconic clubs and others have been forced to move such as the famous Kit Kat Club which was known for it's fetish parties and Sage which was located on the same site as Kit Kat, both have been forced to close in June 2020 despite the owners fighting the closure. Their rental lease was up and as it looks for Griessmuehle both sites may be sold on or redeveloped. This concern faces even more clubs now with Berlin's corporate and international business investment rising, could the city's nightlife follow the devastation that Ireland's has?
The above video was to highlight the issue and was done in collaboration with Berlin based graffiti crew 1up.
The Berlin club scene is on the verge of extinction: With the announced closure of our Neukölln cultural location Griessmühle, the disaster is coming to a head.
Griessmuehle is following the same issue and it looks like they may be forced to close and let over 100 staff go at the end of this month, however the owners are not giving up on it and have started a campaign 'SOS' Save Our Space to draw awareness and support.
Griessmuehle hold's a place in our hearts at Four Four and is most definitely one of the most unique and special places we've danced. If you're the same, make sure to sign the petition to save the space here and share via social media with the hashtag #saveourspace
If you're over in Berlin before the potential closure of this institution, you should DEFINITELY go check it out. You can find a list of their parties here.

This quirky and spooky house was the home of widow Sarah Winchester (of Winchester firearms) until her death. The home's history and design is fascinating, even if you don't believe in ghosts. Take a guided tour, then head across the street to outdoor shopping strip Santana Row to grab a bite and gawk at all the Teslas.
If you're doing a lot of eating while exploring the Bay Area (as you should be), Mission Peak is a great place to burn some of that food off. The hike is actually pretty challenging — mostly because it's consistently uphill until you reach the top and there's zero tree cover — but you're rewarded with panoramic views of Silicon Valley and a popular photo spot. Just check the Instagram geo-tag for Mission Peak, you'll see what I mean.
The best views of the iconic bridge are to be found in Marin, not San Francisco. Of course, you'll have to cross the bridge first, then scope out the perfect photo. And from this angle you'll get to see the San Francisco skyline, too. Kirby Cove (pictured) is one popular photo spot.
Muir Woods in Mill Valley is the most famous spot place to walk among the towering redwood trees, but it's so crowded that you don't get the peace and quiet to really take in the tall trees. Instead, we recommend heading to a lesser-known redwood destination (there are many). Redwood Regional Park in Oakland is easy to get to and full of walking trails, short and long.
Feel like you're 19 again while walking up Telegraph Avenue and around the expansive UC Berkeley campus. Stop for a coffee at the Free Speech Movement cafe on campus or grab a boba tea at one of the 5,000 boba spots on the edge of campus. (We're partial to Asha on University Avenue.) Plus, Berkeley is a foodie city so skim Yelp and find something that catches your eye for lunch or dinner. It's hard to go wrong.
Head to the hills if you're in Berkeley around sunset. You'll find beautiful views of the sunset across the bay from Grizzly Peak (pictured) or the parking lot at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
According to the city, there are more than 1,000 murals around Oakland. They've created a helpful map, so you can do a self-guided tour of the city's street art. Wander from Jack London through Chinatown and over to Uptown, where you can end with a beer at Drake's Dealership.
Avoid the touristy wine crowds in Napa and Sonoma and go wine tasting off the grid in Livermore. One Chronicle columnist is especially fond of Fenestra Winery, which is only open weekends and has a neighborhood winery feel. Members of the club are called "Fenestra fanatics."
You can also check out "urban wine country" in the East Bay, where there are wineries in warehouses and even an old naval hangar. Berkeley winery Donkey & Goat is in a former ink factory and not far from another winery, Broc Cellars. You can try trendy and oh-so-California natural wines at both tasting rooms.
You can also check out "urban wine country" in the East Bay, where there are wineries in warehouses and even an old naval hangar.
Have some old-timey arcade fun, without the crowds that gather at Pier 39's Musée Mécanique. Admission is $20 and you can play as long as you want.
After you've had your fill of pinball, you should head to Faction Brewing on a sunny day. The patio has an impressive view of the San Francisco skyline. Almanac Barrel House, Brewery and Taproom is also down the street if you want to do a little brewery hopping.
Pack a picnic, lay out a blanket, and relax at the lake on a sunny day. On Saturdays, there's a bustling farmers market near Grand Lake Theatre where you can pick up your picnic supplies.
While you're in the area, check to see if the Oakland Museum of California has an exhibit you're interested in. The museum also hosts a block party every Friday night with live music and delicious food trucks.
Ok, you can't confuse Oakland for Venice. But the gondolas on Lake Merritt are about as close as it gets in the Bay Area. A 30-minute ride for two costs $60, but you can bring your own bottle of wine for no extra charge.
The natural beauty of Northern California is on full display at Point Reyes National Seashore. There are tons of hikes you can take that show off different parts of Point Reyes. Alamere Falls (pictured) is one of the most popular spots. The National Park Service breaks down all the options, from short and easy to long and challenging, on its website.
After your hike, head further north to Point Reyes Station, a cute little town where you'll find Cowgirl Creamery's original creamery and cheese shop. Here, they make their Red Hawk cheese, which was created in a happy accident of sorts. They sell a full selection of their other cheeses, too, alongside sandwiches and coffee. Plus, they host cheese tastings and classes.
If you're willing to venture further south, you can easily fill a day in Santa Cruz. Start in the morning with a coffee and pastry from Verve Coffee's roasting location (104 Bronson St.) and enjoy it at the nearby Seabright State Beach. Let the coffee warm you up as the fog burns off and you watch the waves.
When you start getting hungry, head downtown for lunch. Leave room for dessert at Penny Ice Creamery, where the flavor options rotate daily. No matter which ice cream you get, top it with toasted marshmallow fluff.
Take the long way back up north on Highway 1 and stop at Swanton Berry Farm in Davenport. When they're in season, the farm allows you to pick your own strawberries. Out-of-towners are always impressed with the quality of our local produce.

Check out the Museum of International Propaganda in San Rafael, which opened in May 2016 and houses propaganda compiled over 30 years from more than 25 countries including Cuba, North Korea, Nazi Germany, Vietnam and Iran. Admission is free, but the hours are limited.
Swing by Sol Food, a beloved Puerto Rican restaurant in San Rafael, while you're in the area.
Have a shuck-your-own oyster picnic at Hog Island Oyster Co. on Tomales Bay. They'll provide a charcoal grill, shucking tools, lemons, hot sauce and a shucking lesson — all you have to do is the work. Reservations are required for most days of the week.
Take the ferry from SF or Tiburon to visit Angel Island, where you can learn more about how many Asian immigrants were treated in the early 20th century. You can also walk the 5-mile perimeter road for amazing views of San Francisco and the Bay Area, explore beaches and abandoned WWII-era military facilities or stay overnight at one of the island's reservable campsites.
You'll feel far away from San Francisco on this quaint goat farm and dairy. Be sure to try their delicious, fresh goat cheeses. Take some to-go to eat on the nearby Pescadero State Beach, or cruise down Highway 1 to see the picturesque Pigeon Point Lighthouse.
Try the hamburger sandwich or mushroom sandwich at Dad's Luncheonette, a train caboose transformed into a restaurant on Highway 1. Read more on how to spend a day in Half Moon Bay here.
One SFGATE staffer argued the Hakone Gardens in Saratoga are worth the long trek. The picturesque gardens, located in the hills overlooking Silicon Valley, offer docent-led tours and traditional tea ceremonies. The site also claims to be one of the oldest Japanese estate and gardens in the Western Hemisphere.

Q: How to extract data from dictionary by LINQ I make a dictionary for gathering some data. and extract from dictionary what I want. so I would like to use LINQ. However I don't know how to do that
I want to extract data from dictionary by LINQ and store as list
from textPoint1X, textPointY in textDataDictionary
where, range?
:2350 < textPoint1X < 2355
 -300 < textPoint1Y < -298
// class for dictionary
   class textDataType
        {
            public string text { get; set; }
            public double textPoint1X { get; set; }
            public double textPoint1Y { get; set; }
        }

// declare a dictionary
var textDataDictionary = new Dictionary<UInt64, textDataType>();

// add data
textDataDictionary.Add(textData.Handle,
                                    new textDataType
                                   {
                                       text = textData.Text,
                                       textPoint1X = textData.Point1.X,
                                       textPoint1Y = textData.Point1.Y
                                    });

A: Here's some LINQ to help you. You need to filter using Where on the Values of the dictionary (to get a ValueCollection) and then finally convert it to a list as you want.
var myList = textDataDictionary.Values.Where(
    x => x.textPoint1X > 2350 &&
    x.textPoint1X < 2355 &&
    x.textPoint1Y > -300 &&
    x.textPoint1Y < -298).ToList();

A: You can use the dictionary Values property and use Linq Where() on it (example below)
textDataDictionary.Values.Where(x => x.textPoint1X > 2350 && x.textPoint1X < 2355).ToList();

A: Here is the linq query writtin in syntax form:
var query =
from p in textDataDictionary
let x = p.Value.textPoint1X
let y = p.Value.textPoint1Y
where 2350 < x && x < 2355 && -300 < y && y < -298
select p.Value;
var result = query.ToList();


Children between the ages of 5 and 10 years with a non-western background are relatively the most frequent victims of drowning in the Netherlands. Over the past seven years 1 out of 100 thousand of these kids drowned, compared to 0.1 out of 100 thousand kids with a Dutch background. Between 1996 and 2002, 1.5 out of 100 thousand ethnic minority kids in this age group drowned, so there is a decrease.
In Amsterdam and Chaam a girl of five and a boy of eight drowned earlier this month.

Even the outlying parts of Saipan were affected by the change. In this photo from 1930, a group of people gather with their carabaos at Laulau Bay to see a ship off. Before expansion of the commercial dock in the early 1930s, ships often put in at the eastern side of the island.

Ohio's Group of 34
In Cathy Young's excellent article on the "campus rape that wasn't" at Ohio University, she referenced an open letter, penned by 34 Ohio University professors, expressing "deep concern" about the purported assault. You'd think, in light of the experience of Duke's Group of 88, college faculty would be reluctant to pen open letters about sexual assault cases before the police have even completed their investigation. But the Ohio 34 apparently couldn't resist. Now that the police have said no sexual assault of any type has occurred, none of the signatories appear to have backtracked.
The document is an odd one. On the one hand, by describing the sexual assault as "alleged," it avoids the Group of 88's blatant rush to judgment. Unlike at Duke, there's no definitive statement that something "happened" to the accuser, and no thanking of protesters who had urged the castration of the accused. On the other hand, the letter doesn't make much sense unless its signatories believed that a sexual assault actually occurred. It speaks of working "toward long-term solutions" (the solutions–and even the problem that needs to be solved–remain unaddressed in the letter). It urges students not to be a "passive bystander: If you see something that's not right, intervene directly if it's safe to do so."
Who signed this strange missive? In the Duke case, pedagogical interests overwhelmingly predicted a professor's willingness to rush to judgment–around 85 percent of the Group of 88 signatories specialized in the holy trinity of race, class, or gender, or in some cases all three. In the Ohio case, both the accuser and the accused appear to be white, and race-oriented faculty didn't flock to the open letter. But gender-oriented ones did. The missive has signatures from eight representatives of the faculty senate; of the 26 unaffiliated signatories, 16 profess a pedagogical interest in race, class, or gender, with most of the 16 focusing on gender. (The list includes one professor who champions "a curriculum that addresses sexual assault prevention issues with men" and another whose most recent publication is "Teaching for Social Justice.") In this respect, like the Group of 88 statement, the Ohio open letter is a reminder how the pedagogical transformation of the academy affects what goes on outside of the classroom.

CMS Students Need Free School Meals to Thrive and Learn
It's that time of year when families gather to give thanks for the good things in their lives. But some families will struggle to do more than put a full holiday meal on the table. They'll also have a hard time paying for their children to eat at school all year.
As a single mother of a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools graduate who received free meals in school for a while, I know firsthand that receiving nutritious meals in school brings stability and peace of mind to children and their guardians.
We can spread that peace of mind simply by making school meals free for all children. And now a Mecklenburg County legislator has introduced a bill that would take us a step in that direction.
First, here's some background on school lunches that may surprise you.
For a start, half of our children in public schools already rely on subsidized school lunches. In North Carolina, 58 percent of students are eligible for free or reduced price lunch. Nearly half (48.6 percent) of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools' 143,000 students receive free meals.
While the school system doesn't keep track of the race or ethnicity of students who receive free or reduced meals, it's safe to assume that many students in the CMS program are minorities. Black and Hispanic students make up 63 percent of the CMS student population.
This may also surprise some. Public school initiatives to ensure students don't go hungry are nothing new in America. In 1946, President Harry Truman signed into law the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which provided low-cost or free lunches to children in public and non-profit private schools each school day.
In the first year, about 7.1 million children participated in the NSLP. According to the latest statistics from the federal government, 30 million children now receive free or reduced-cost lunch.
The School Breakfast Program is another story. The federal government only began offering free breakfast to children in 1966 — launching a small pilot program that served children in a few rural communities. It wasn't until 1975 that a more robust free breakfast program expanded to all students across the country who lived below the poverty level.
What inspired the change?
"For some scholars, widespread free breakfast (programs) didn't begin with the federal government but rather with radical actions from the Black Panther Party," writes Arielle Milkman in an Eater article.
To address the needs of children in the community, the Black Panthers started the Free Breakfast for Children Program in 1969 in the basement of a church in Oakland, California. By 1971, at least 36 cities in the country had a Panthers' breakfast program.
"In a 1969 U.S. Senate hearing, the National School Lunch Program administrator admitted that the Panthers fed more poor school children than did the State of California," says Diane Pien in BlackPast.org.
The Black Panthers' Free Breakfast Program fed tens of thousands of hungry kids until the mid-1970s. It appears that the Panthers' breakfast program helped to inspire a robust federal free breakfast program today.
More recently we've proven that free meals in schools can be a safety net for all children.
When the Covid pandemic started in 2020, all K-12 students in the U.S., no matter their income status, received free breakfast and lunch. After that provision expired in August, most families again had to apply for free meals.
The circumstances are a bit different in CMS. Since 2012, breakfast has been made available to all students at no charge. In addition, roughly 39 percent of the schools continue to receive free breakfast and lunch as part of the federal Community Eligibility Provision program.
Providing free meals to all students would avoid three significant problems:
It would bring an end to students being shamed for receiving free meals. There are hundreds of stories about children being singled out negatively because they couldn't afford school meals. One reader told Buzzfeed of being made to serve meals to classmates when they didn't have lunch money, before they were given lunch. No child should be treated differently because they can't pay for school meals.
Parents would no longer be anxious over how to fill out invasive application forms correctly, or worry their children didn't qualify, even though their family is low income.
More children would grow up to be able-bodied citizens. Malnurishment has been identified as a threat to national security. The Council for a Strong America said in its 2020 report on child nutrition that 71 percent of young Americans are ineligible to join the military, and one of the main reasons is malnutrition.
North Carolina Democratic Rep. Carolyn Logan, whose district covers part of Mecklenburg County, has a solution.
In May, Logan introduced a bill (H.B. 1074) that would require the state to "allocate sufficient funds to public school units to provide free lunch for every student (in the state) electing to receive it." According to Logan, the initiative would cost $159 million per year and would come from the state's general fund.
That's less than half as much as it will cost to add express lanes to a section of I-485 in South Charlotte. The total yearly state general fund budget is $27 billion for 2022.
Logan's bill will allow students to have nutritious meals at school and help them "concentrate on their education and not how hungry they may be," she said. "The main purpose behind (the bill) is to help North Carolina families raise their children. It's about caring about people."
I urge you to call or write to your state representatives today and demand that this needed legislation become law.

The Harry Smith B-Sides
Dust to Digital
Bunt Stephens "Louisburg Blues"
It's likely that this collection's existence makes little sense to anyone unfamiliar with Harry Smith or the original 6-LP Anthology of American Folk Music he curated, originally released by Folkways in 1952. Yet, if there's a soul out there somewhere who's just now tapping into this music via this comp, it will then get a chance to stand on its own as a collection of music recorded commercially and released on 78 RPM shellac discs in the US circa 1927-30. They'll hopefully note that it isn't representative of what was popular at the time. Hell, it's not even representative of whatever 'American' is, as it leaves out not only music from South America, but also sounds from parts of North America that aren't in the US. And even within the US, it manages to pass over commercial records made by Greek fiddlers, Jewish Klezmer clarinetists, Syrian Oud masters, and many other groups of people who immigrated to US and recorded commercially at the time. And there's not a note of music by any of the indigenous tribes that roamed the continent before anyone else here's ancestors did.
Harry Smith was a collector - of Easter egg patterns, textiles, paper airplanes, and at one point, records. He also saw a pattern to the sides he decided to initially compile for the anthology. He mixed alchemy with academia to make choices, and as awesome as the original collection is, there are some clunkers, which means those clunkers' equally weak B sides appear here. So, both the original anthology, and this mirror collection are filtered by the commercial nature that allowed them to exist on record in the first place, and then again by a curator driven by the power of particular patterns as much as by the records' quality. Arguably then, the idea of a collection of B sides undoes Smith's vision. All that said, it's a wonder the music is as good as it is.
Lance Ledbetter, who co-owns Dust to Digital, explains in the booklet- which makes up such a large part of this package's listening experience- that the idea for this collection sprang from conversations he had with record collector Robert Nobley, who ran a CD-R label that made compilations to order. In 2004, Nobley sent Ledbetter a two-volume, incomplete set of the Smith B-sides. Later, the recently late musician, musicologist, photographer, and New Lost City Rambler John Cohen contacted Ledbetter with a complete collection of the sides and wondered if he'd be interesting in publishing them. Long story short, seven years later, we've got them here, even if listening to these sides in one order or another has been a mouse click away for some time now.
Edmonds and Nestor "Black Eyed Suzy"
Anyone listening to B-Sides might wonder why Smith passed over tracks as gorgeous as Uncle Bunt Stephens' droning solo fiddle showcase "Louisburg Blues," Hoyt Ming's "Old Red," or Norman Edmonds and JP Nestor's frantic take on the fiddle tune "Black Eyed Suzy" just because they appeared on side B. One might also wonder, when every side recorded by hardcore gospel duo William and Versey Smith is so incredible, how he made the curator's decision he did. Whatever the case, what's here is a not-at-all random collection of mostly stellar examples of fiddlers, banjo-driven balladeers, singing preachers, Cajun accordionists, blues and pre-blues guitarists, and other performers whose music exists between genres. That it isn't divided by category means it also avoids designations along racial lines too.
Nelstone's Hawaiians "Village School"
The booklet, always such an amazing part of the label's work on any given box set, is leather bound, and includes notes from Ledbetter and parts of an interview Cohen did with Smith in the late 1960s. It also gives the same type of often hilarious track-by-track information with subject summaries that read like newspaper headlines (a particular favorite is Nelstone's Hawaiians' "Village School," being explained as "Children Lose Their Mother Under Mysterious Circumstances; Fail to Complete Homework"). Here, everyone from award-winning folk artist Dom Flemons, banjo builder Pete Ross, and folklorist Sarah Bryan gets a shot at the track list information too.
Sister Mary Nelson "he Royal Telephone"
Putting this out in 2020 didn't come without issues. As awful as the year's been, it has also served as the closest the United States has come to finally being forced into a conversation about the country's racist history's influence on our still-racist present. That said, Dust to Digital has seen fit to cut 3 tracks-due to their overt racist nature- that would have otherwise appeared here for the collection to completely house all of the B-sides to Smith's Anthology picks. In this way, their exclusion seems louder than their inclusion might have been. However, this isn't scholarship, nor does it need to stand as unbiased in its selection. These tracks' absence is also part of long-needed discussion around the racist history of so much of the folk music many of us love and play. (For example, there's a not-particularly-humorous irony in the fact that old time fiddle music, typically sourced from recordings of- or time spent with- conservative, rural-dwelling racist white people now resides in the hands of largely college-educated, often urban-dwelling white liberals.) This racism filters through every fabric of the culture of the United States, and can make dealing with this music uncomfortable on many levels.
Joseph Falcon "Aimer et Perdre"
All of this makes the section of the booklet that analyzes the song lyrics using evolutionary biology tools problematic. While someone's tongue is likely firmly in cheek here, there's no real way such filtered representation could lead to any real indication of an anthropological survey of the words folks sung (not that culture could even be equated with biology). Plus, the division of "highland" and "lowland" songs appears to smack of classist, racist assumptions the collection attempts to otherwise address.
Andrew and Jim Baxter
Andrew & Jim Baxter "Forty Drops"
All of the above observations, however critical, also point to the importance of this music's place in our lives, not to mention the joy it still brings. The original anthology influenced a generation of musicians in a truly profound way. It served to show another way of hearing the music, interpreted at a time when commercial 78s captured snapshots of folk music just prior to the rapid changes music started going through thanks to the intentions of the labels that recorded these artists in the first place. The anthology's 1997 CD reissue only served to expand its impact as its late 20th century listeners included punks, experimental sound sculptures, laptop-driven beat makers, as well as folks thinking about picking up the banjo. What this collection means for the early 20th century, released during a pandemic, just as the country that birthed it grapples with the nastiness of its own divisions along ideological lines so deep that half the country no longer subscribes to fact while the other is more loudly calling for an end to systemic racism, has yet to be seen. Make no mistake though, like wellness practices and homegrown vegetables, it's crucial stuff. - Bruce Miller
