Last spring, 83% of Maine public high school students who began high school four years earlier received a diploma.
About 65% of those graduates likely enrolled in some form of postsecondary education—at a public university, private institution, community college or elsewhere.
A 2008 report from the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Culture Affairs of the Maine Legislature indicates a quarter of those who enrolled at a public university in Maine required a remedial course to catch them up to the level where they should have been when they completed high school.
Of those who began a degree program at Maine's seven community colleges, 37% needed remedial courses in subjects like math, reading and writing.
Within six years, only 48% of those who started work on a University of Maine System bachelor's degree in the fall of 2010 will have earned it. Of those who started work on an associate degree at that time, just 26% will have completed it within three years.
Regardless of how hard we've tried and how much money we've spent, our public schools simply haven't managed to equip many of our students with the skills they need to succeed in college.
Studies show, by 2018, nearly 60% of jobs in Maine will require at least some amount of college education. If we can't get more of our students to complete high school and earn degrees, we won't have the workforce required to meet the needs of a 21st-century technology- and knowledge-driven economy.
If we don't have the educated workforce we need, our hopes of creating high-quality jobs in Maine and enticing them to come here will be greatly diminished.
For many of our residents, that means the higher wages and healthier lifestyles that come with higher-skill jobs will be out of reach.
There's no simple solution to this dilemma, but much of it depends on reforming our public education system so we can be sure the students we're graduating are ready not only to enter college, but to succeed in college.
Part of the problem is that, as it's designed, our public education system favors essentially one learning style—one that involves sitting in a classroom and absorbing information from lectures and books. That's a format that doesn't work well for the majority of students.
As a result, many of our students—especially boys—start losing interest in school at a young age. If they lose interest, they're unlikely to engage with course materials, discover knowledge on their own and challenge themselves to go above and beyond the bare minimum requirements.
If we're not engaging students, but still promoting them from grade level to grade level, they're graduating from high school unprepared for the rigors of college coursework. If they even enroll in college, it's those students who are most likely to need remediation, and most likely to drop out before they earn a degree.
What we need in Maine is an education system that holds students to rigorous standards, encourages students to take charge of their own learning and has flexibility and relevance at its core.
In other words, our education system needs to offer all students—especially those at-risk of falling behind—more opportunities to be successful in school.
We in Maine took an early step toward that goal earlier this spring by fully adopting the Common Core state standards. Rigorous standards for all of our students are at the crux of our reform efforts. If we have high expectations for our students, they'll meet them.
What's not spelled out by these world-class standards is how our students meet them. That's the province of our teachers, administrators and school boards. It should also be up to the students themselves.
More of our public schools need to embrace a standards-based environment, in which students advance to the next level only once they've mastered what's expected of them at the previous level. In this environment, students determine how they learn what they need to learn and how they demonstrate proficiency. The teacher becomes a facilitator who helps her students become independent learners and promotes them only once they've proven worthy of promotion. A handful of Maine schools have become early adopters of this standards-based format, and are confident it will make the high school diplomas they award more meaningful. Other Maine schools can learn from their experiences. My Commissioner of Education Stephen Bowen is working to share this model with more schools throughout the state.
High school students need to be able to transfer seamlessly among different learning environments and earn credit from all of them. Depending on their needs and interests, students should be able to earn credit through a mix of online classes, adult education classes, community college and university courses, independent projects and internships.
More of our students need to be able to enroll in career and technical education courses at our vocational schools. They need to be able to enroll there full-time, and before they reach their junior year in high school. Our vocational schools promote hands-on learning that many students find more relevant than the traditional academic atmosphere. Many of our career and technical education students find the vocational environment brings to life the lessons they learn in math, science and other courses.
Our students also need another option: the opportunity to enroll at a charter school where a committed operator is innovating—and being held accountable—to find the right way to reach students who aren't succeeding in the traditional setting. Maine is one of 10 states that don't allow charter schools, but that's something we expect to change in the coming weeks.
Our institutions of higher education in Maine would do well to learn some lessons from the innovations we're planning for our K-12 system.
Just as we expect our public schools and teachers to meet the needs and learning styles of all students, our colleges and universities have the same obligation.
They need to hire professors who care about teaching. They need to be held accountable for their outcomes.
I urge those in charge of both our K-12 and postsecondary systems of education to get to work on improving. The success of one system depends on the other. And the success of our most important asset—our students—depends on them both.

You will slowly learn that I am a beauty product junkie. Make up, hair, nails, lotions, body scrubs…I like it all, and I love to try new products.
Summer is in full swing, and if you have ever been to Washington, D.C. in the summer time you know that means it is hot & humid…all the time.
During the summer months, I find that I reach for very different products than during winter. I take public transit to work every day, so I am outside (and sweating) more than if I were to drive to work and have to walk in from the car. Therefore, I look for lightweight, long lasting products. Products that contain SPF, keep my skin healthy and vibrant, and protect my hair against the sun, and chlorine are important!
I've compiled a list of my Top 10 Beauty Products during the summer. I was inspired by this list of the top beauty products purchased during the summer on Amazon.

CAPA Awards Competition for California Students Enters Final Week
Published on January 24th, 2012
– Collegians Asked to Discuss What Benefits Would Accrue from a Sustainable Population –
LOS ANGELES (January 24, 2012) – California's college and university students are encouraged to finalize their entries this week for the California Population Awareness Awards competition which ends January 31. Complete information is at http://www.capaawards.com.
The statewide CAPAS program was created to build awareness among students of the state's rapid population growth and the sources and implications of continuing growth. In just about 40 years, California's population has nearly doubled. Projections indicate continuing rapid growth, exceeding 50 million people by 2050.
Submission categories in the CAPA Awards competition include video, radio, writing and social media. Entries should address the causes of overpopulation in California and its effects on the environment, wildlife and quality of human life and the future benefits that a sustainable population would bring.
The top award is $5,000 in the video category, with available prizes in all five categories totaling $12,500. Three iPad 2s also will be given away in a drawing from among the first 100 qualified entries.
The college competition is open to all students enrolled at least half-time in a university or college (state or private), a community college, or a trade or career-based school located in California who are at least 18 years of age by the time of the competition submissions deadline. In addition to information at http://www.capaawards.com, students can find links to other useful material on the population issue on Facebook at CAPA Awards and Twitter @CAPA_Awards.
About CAPS
CAPS (http://www.capsweb.org) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1986 that works to formulate and advance policies and programs designed to stabilize the population of California, the U.S. and the world at levels which will preserve the environment and a good quality of life for all. Since nearly all of California's runaway population growth now comes from immigration, CAPS focuses largely on this issue. The organization sponsors public and media awareness campaigns, works with lawmakers to promote more responsible policies, conducts research and has a growing network of member-activists who are concerned about the impacts of overpopulation.

The false premise and promise of emergency powers
Posted bytonylavina March 23, 2020 May 29, 2020 Leave a comment on The false premise and promise of emergency powers
I believe that in times of crises such as today, it is imperative on the part of government to act swiftly and effectively. While it is tempting to invoke emergency powers – and definitely the draft bill that has been widely circulated does that – our national experience tells us that emergency powers have frequently been based on a false premise – that the President needs them to address an emergency, and makes a false promise – that their exercise will solve the problems created by that emergency.
According to the proposed bill, the President is authorized to, among others, temporarily issue rules and regulations regarding measures to prevent or minimize further transmission of COVID-19. He is also given authority to temporarily take over or direct the operation of privately-owned public utilities or businesses affected with public interest, public transportation, and telecommunication entities. Further, the bill has provisions on the conservation and regulation of the distribution and use of power, fuel, energy, and water. It also authorizes the President to temporarily reprogram, reallocate, or realign any appropriation in the FY 2020 General Appropriations Act (GAA) for whatever purpose the President "may deem necessary and desirable to fund measures to address and respond to the COVID-19 emergency."
This is not the first time a President has asked for emergency powers.
In the early 1990s, I was asked by the Senate to review the exercise of emergency powers by President Cory Aquino, powers granted to her by Congress after the 1989 coup attempt devastated the economy. I have also studied the exercise by President Fidel V. Ramos of emergency powers to address the power crisis of the 1990s. I have also observed how Presidents Arroyo and Estrada declared states of national emergency during their respective terms and more lately President Duterte's issuance of Proclamation 55 when Davao City was bombed and in putting Mindanao under martial law for nearly two years. President Noynoy Aquino could have done the same in the Zamboanga siege and after Typhoon Yolanda but he wisely did not take this option. Before all these presidents, we had of course President Marcos who took upon himself to exercise legislative powers and do what he pleased as a dictator.,
There are lessons to be learned from all of these experiences. The first is that the President really did not need such far reaching powers to solve whatever issue needed to be addressed. In fact my study of the Cory Aquino exercise of emergency powers concluded with the finding that none of the issuances she issued during that time exceeded the powers she already had as President. The same can be said of our most recent experiences of Duterte's Proclamation 55 and martial law in Mindanao.
As for Marcos, we know the outcome of giving him emergency powers, including the ability to enact legislation. That corrupted many of our institutions and left a bankrupt country.
The better approach is surgical, addressing specific problems. Giving the President broad powers are not as effective as giving attention to the particular concerns at hand. A law that is limited to addressing concrete issues and challenges is much better than a law that would grant the President extraordinary powers. The latter law is for the lazy and unfocused, for the incompetent, for those who are at a loss on what has to be done. A broad grant of emergency powers is like using a bazooka when sniper guns with telescopic sights are more effective.
For example, a law that grants relief to businesses, workers, and the poor would be a good law.
A law that would allow the government to mobilize private hospitals and transportation companies for the greater good would be useful at this time but a take-over, even if temporary, is not advisable as the government has no capacity to manage such operations.
A law requiring wide-spread testing and provides the budget for that would be essential.
All of the above can be in one omnibus law responding to the COVID-19 emergency.
Whatever law Congress enacts, rights must be absolutely protected.
Our right to information and freedom of the press is in peril under the draft law because of the provision on telecommunications. There are concerns that state-controlled telecommunications might become a source of indoctrination, misinformation, or underreporting, which are not baseless.
The rights of business owners are endangered by the take-over provisions.
The autonomy of local governments will be seriously diminished under the draft bill.
In this time of grave danger for the nation and our people, we need more than ever a free press, dynamic local governments, and a vibrant private sector. This bill if it becomes a law endangers such a press, will severely restrict the options of local governments, and destroys the private sector. It will have the opposite effect and undermine our efforts against COVID-19.
By providing criminal penalties for violating its issuances, the proposed emergency powers act also threatens individual rights.
Finally, Congress must not easily surrender its power to legislate as well as it oversight and budget powers. It can provide flexibility to the President and enact supplementary budgets.
In sum, emergency powers should be resorted to only as a last result, because it ultimately grants to the Executive a wide array of powers that is heavily guarded against by the Bill of Rights and the provisions on the independence and separation of the three branches of government.

Life gets away from you sometimes. You think you've got everything well in hand. You're just trucking along, jumping the hurdles, making things work. And then you hit a speed bump. All the various packages holding all the disorganized building blocks of your life – the ones you keep precariously perched wherever there was room to put them – start to spill and tumble from their usual resting spaces. You grab for them, hoping you can use your ninja-like reflexes to retrieve them from the air.
But alas, none of us are super human (or at least, we can't be all the time).
It's been a while since I talked about what's going on in my life. Sure, I talk about my writing a lot, and the struggles of balancing my work, social and personal lives. But I don't think I've written a life update blog since we moved back to Canada from England. And I'm somewhat shocked to realize that move happened four years ago!
Things have actually been going great!
Equilibrium is my favorite place to live. That delightful balance where all you really have to manage is the day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month activities that make up adult life. (What we all playfully refer to as 'adulting' these days.) Once we settled into our new house, it was shockingly easy to find that state of existence here. My husband is thriving in his new job and loves it to pieces. And while I haven't advanced as far in my career as I would like, I've certainly made progress.
But trying to live in that state of balance forever is, I suppose, what gets you in the end. If life has taught me one thing, it's that you have to be on the lookout for opportunity if you want to get lucky. It just so happens we got extremely lucky when we bought this house. Within a year of owning it, our land values skyrocketed (although so did our property taxes). Now we're sitting on a nice chunk of equity – a vastly different experience than the one we had with our first house.
About two months ago, some dear friends of ours were forced to drop everything and move. They decided to rush-buy a house because it would be cheaper and more amenable in the long-term. We did our best to help. But, from six hours away, the best we could do was offer a roof and a bed during their transition period between places. I remember watching the rush and stress from afar and counting my blessings that I wasn't in the thick of it.
Turns out the safest time to buy a new house is when you don't actually need one. So guess who's in the thick of it now?
If you've ever bought a house, you know how stressful the process is. When we bought this house, we had only a month. So we had to choose something that was already on the market. We didn't even think we could afford this house until we crunched a lot of numbers. Money was tight that first year. But it was worth it for a house we saw ourselves occupying for ten years. Now, a bare four years later, we're looking for an upgrade, hoping we can get lucky a second time if we play our cards right.
And if we were just buying a house, I probably wouldn't be as big a wreck as I am. But the financial burdens of purchasing real estate force you to evaluate every other aspect of your life. Like the fact that you're a struggling author who hasn't really figured out how to sell her work just yet. And the fact that you don't really think you can wait another five years for your career to take off. Though you by no means believe you should give up.
Thankfully, my husband basically qualifies for sainthood. Thankfully he understands investments and how to be smart with your money while you're planning for retirement. Things that make my eyes gloss over whenever I try to research them. And thankfully, he's so dedicated to supporting my career goals that he's got back up plans for just in case, though not all of them are easy pills to swallow.
It's in our nature to search for signs.
A week ago, in the quiet time just after midnight, I laid in bed and asked the universe to give me a sign. I was at my lowest point, terrified I'd never make anything of myself as an author, and biting my nails over a house that seemed promising but didn't quite work mathematically. I was desperate to feel certain about something.
The next morning, a bird flew headlong into our guestroom window and dropped dead on our back deck.
My anxieties exploded. Surely this was a sign of failure. Surely my inadequacies are dooming the family I want to build to a life of squalor and struggle. And surely this meant I should give up on my dreams, make a full 180 and focus on money instead of passions.
I'm lucky I have amazing friends. Friends willing to catch me when I fall, dust me off, and set me back on my feet. Friends to remind me that death is not an omen of death or even failure. That it's a sign of change and transformation. Friends who are willing to help me punch through the walls standing in my way, if that's what it takes to get back on the right track.
So at the end of a rough and tiresome week, I look back over all the hard conversations and tears, both happy and sad, and realize that the universe did send me a sign. It just wasn't the one I thought.
I'm looking forward to the next step – whatever it may be!
I'll be the first to admit I'm bad at asking for help. I'm not sure what convinced me that I need manage every crisis, no matter how small, all on my own. But whenever the going gets tough, I tell myself I just need to buckle down. And I do.
But everything is easier when you have someone to help bear the burden. And when you can't find the way forward alone, sometimes it's easier just to ask. This week, expressing my frustrations to a few friends was enough to get me the information I needed. Explaining my needs to a few other friends was enough to help me set things in motion. There was no hassle, no hours of crying into my tea cup while I scoured Google, and no uncertainty.
What I realized is that I don't have to figure this all out on my own. And I certainly don't have to figure it out right this second. I have a support system, and a good one. There are people who care about me, who are cheering for me. And if I just speak up a little more often, it will make my life a whole lot easier.
Wherever we end up, whatever form our next house takes, and whatever the next step in my career turns out to be, I know things are going to work out.
What about you, dear reader? What signs has the universe given you of late?

Like horses? Need a trade? MSU to offer farrier program in the fall

Like horses? Need a trade? MSU to offer farrier program in the fall EAST LANSING - After guiding his hand down the length of Sokol the horse's right leg, David Hallock wheels over a metal tool cart complete with pliers, hammers and what looks like a nail file the size of a machete. Check out this story on thetimesherald.com: https://bwne.ws/2FjlEYQ
Lansing State Journal Published 2:32 p.m. ET April 26, 2018

The veteran farrier presses his body against the grey gelding and wraps the horse's front leg around his own for stability and control, as another farrier, Scott Bushaw, exchanges tools with him.
"Easy now, easy," Hallock said.
Farriers are tradesmen who care for and maintain horses' hooves. There aren't enough good farriers for the amount of work available in the region, Hallock said, and there's no program in Michigan to train the next generation of farriers.
Which is why Michigan State University is offering a farrier program beginning this fall. Hallock will be the instructor, hosting sessions at the MSU Horse Training and Research Center.
"Most people who have an interest in becoming a farrier are leaving the state for Oklahoma or Kentucky," said Karen Waite, a coordinator with the College of Agriculture and Human Resources.
It's been several years since Michigan had a farrier program, following the closure of Wolverine Farrier School in Claire.
MSU boasted its own farrier program for several decades until the 1950s, when it closed in part due to the decline in demand for horses.
Being underneath a 1,000-pound horse can be dangerous work. Last summer, Hallock was working on an otherwise well-behaved horse when a groundskeeper brought a weed-whacker too close. The unexpected whirl of the tool spooked the horse, nearly causing Hallock serious, potentially career-ending injuries.
Maintaining hooves involves cleaning out pockets of dirt and grime, leveling out the base of the hoof and the horseshoe and clipping and filing away any excessive growth. Hooves are made of keratin, the same protein that composes everything from hair and nails in humans to animal horns and claws.
The horses at MSU's teaching and research center are the product of one of the oldest breeding programs in the United States. The university began breeding Arabians in the 1940s after W.K. Kellogg donated a stallion named Amidore.
The temperament of the horses can change from day to day, said Ken Sokol, who has worked at MSU for more than two decades.
"Just like people, horses have their days," he said, holding the reins of the horse who was named after him.
Hallock, who owns 3R Forge and Farrier in Dansville, will be teaching a class of half a dozen students in the fall and the following spring. The program will cost $11,950 or $17,950 depending on whether students choose the 12-week or 24-week program.
Horses at MSU have their hooves trimmed about once every six weeks, Hallock said. A horse grows about three to four inches of hoof annually, roughly a new hoof a year, according to Craig Wood of the University of Kentucky. The horses at MSU have shoes on their front feet because they carry more of their weight on them.
The results of Hallock's labor — shards of horse hooks alongside dirt and debris previously wedged between the sole and frog of the hoof — are swept away before the next horse takes its place near the rear of the barn. As he prepares for the next horse, Hallock compares horses to dogs in terms of temperament.
They're like dogs you can ride, he says with a laugh. But it's better not to bring them in the house.
Contact RJ Wolcott at (517) 377-1026 or rwolcott@lsj.com.
Upcoming MSU horse sale
Hallock and the rest of the staff on Tuesday were preparing the horses for the MSU Spartan Specular Arabian Horse Auction happening on April 29. Members of the public can view the horses during an open barn even the day before. The site is also open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Environmental problems do not respect national borders, their solutions must not be restricted by national borders.
For nearly 50 years the EU has successfully dealt with these problems and brought about a massive improvement in the quality of our environment. The EU is one of the few bodies (national or international) to enshrine commitments to sustainable development and environmental protection into law.
It has enacted over 200 pieces of environmental protection legislation since we joined in 1972 protecting our air, water, biodiversity and beaches.
Because of our membership of the EU, we have much higher environmental standards than we otherwise would and have played an active and constructive role in an innovative experiment of international co-operation to combat one of the major challenges facing our planet.
Those who want to cut us off from Europe should consider the benefits we stand to lose if we were to leave the EU.

K League Unified Cup: Championship for people with disabilities
20:25 GMT+3 21/11/2021
No boundaries exist for physical disability in playing football together...
The 2021 Special Olympics K League Unified Cup football tournament was held at Changnyeong Sports Park, Gyeongnam Province, on November 13 and 14. This was the 11 vs 11 football match, including six disabled players paired with five other players on a team, and they are given the opportunity to play for 30 minutes in each half, each game.
For the tournament co-organized by the K League and Special Olympics Korea (SOK), athletes from the following eight K-League teams - Gangwon FC, Incheon United, Seoul E-Land FC, Suwon FC, Daejeon Hana Citizen FC , Gyeongnam FC, Busan IPark FC and Jeju United FC, joined forces to create a joint team to participate in the competition.
The final winner will be invited to the K League 1 Awards. and the All-Star Charity Game to be held in December with the selected players with the most outstanding performances at the Unified K League Cup.
Clubs from the K League create teams that are integrated with the local SOK football team. 25 Players registered in total, including 10 disabled players, ten regular players and five coaching staff. The coaching staff are all from K League clubs.
Integrated Sports is one of the main goals of the Special Olympics and is also part of a global social movement. Regardless of disability, all athletes build trust and mutual understanding by helping each other and exercising together. More than 2 million athletes participate in this global social movement.
The K League also works to raise social awareness for disabilities through football, and helps people with disabilities to be accepted in society at large. The aim is to develop a community where persons with disabilities and non-disabled individuals are integrated together.
It's been a few years since the K League showed interest and started working on a unified sport. In 2017, Incheon hosted a friendly match between the Everton FC Disability team invited from England, and the SOK team as part of an integrated sports exchange programme. Also in 2018, two integrated football matches were held after the match between Suwon and Incheon was over. In addition, Seoul E-Land provided official soccer uniforms for SOK teams in 2018 and 2019.
Meanwhile, the K League will continue to develop plans with all participating K League clubs to fulfill social responsibilities. This will include continuous efforts to communicate with more people through football, and contribution to the development of local communities.

'Pixels': Adam Sandler On Video Games & 'Billy Madison' or 'Happy Gilmore' Sequels
by Ben Moore
– on Jul 22, 2015
in Movie News, SR Originals
Video game movies have yet to make much of an impact on the cinematic landscape, primarily due to how poorly they've been received by critics and audiences. That may change in the coming years, as a number of high profile video game movies are about to be released or are in development, including Agent 47, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, and Warcraft.
And then there's the soon-to-be-released Pixels. While it's not a video game movie like the ones mentioned above, it does have an awful lot to do with video games. Based on the short film of the same name by Patrick Jean, Pixels is about an invading alien force that takes the appearance of our favorite 8-bit arcade game characters (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Galaga, etc.), and the ex-famous arcade game players (Adam Sandler, Josh Gad, and Peter Dinklage) who are our only hope of defeating them.
We recently sat down with star Adam Sandler to talk about the film, his upcoming sequel to Hotel Transylvania, the possibility of sequels to Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, and more.
Pixels isn't a video game movie in the traditional sense that we usually say, but it is a movie about video games. I'm just curious - did you play a lot of video games growing up? Did you have a favorite?
Adam Sandler: Yes - I don't know if I had a favorite. I had the one I was best at, it was 'Galaga.' So I put the most quarters in that one eventually. But yeah, when I was a kid, it was a big deal, it had just come out. It was when you're a kid to think you can actually do this stuff, play these games and shoot things and have it all work. 'Space Invaders' was kind of my first love, and 'Defender' and all these other ones - I loved them, but I wasn't as good at them. The 'Galaxian' and 'Galaga' ones, that's what I got good at.
While 'Pixels' is very much an Adam Sandler movie in terms of the humor, it's a little different from your usual thing in that it's also a sci-fi blockbuster.
Right, right.
I'm curious if you enjoyed working on a more action-oriented project and if you'd be interested in doing that in the future.
Well, I love that I'm in this thing. I love that it's kind of a superhero movie with regular guys. It's good to be in a movie that looks this cool, that looks this lush and the effects are awesome. I'm shocked I'm in it. [Laughter] I don't know if it's going to happen again, but I'm glad I got one.
Sort of related to my last question, if this film does well, do you have any plans for a Pixels 2?
I don't - I don't have a clue on that. I don't know what the hell it would be. I haven't thought about it. It took so long to put this one together and it's finally done, man. The movie's coming out in a couple weeks and we just finished it like a couple weeks ago. It's a crazy process with these type of movies, so I'm a little spent. But maybe - we'll see what the hell happens.
You could always explore a new era of video games.
I agree! That would be fun, too.
I know Hotel Transylvania 2 is in post right now. Do you have anything you can tell us about what you and Genndy Tartakovsky have in store?
It's getting there. It's getting good. My kids are enjoying it. I get it on my computer at night, we work on it and stuff, and my dopey kids come in the room. They think it's all right. So far two kids like it.
Excellent. I guess I'll ask you one more question - would you ever consider doing a sequel to Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore?
I don't think about it, but those two [films] - I loved doing them. They're big ideas. Going back to school was fun for Billy, and then Happy Gilmore playing golf - there's something there. I don't know. We'll see. I doubt it, though. [Laughter]

Howdy there, Scream freaks! Yee-haw! Things are in full force over here! Producing the web's #1 animated horror show is certainly a full time gig, and has us up at all hours of the day to ensure we deliver our promise of great entertainment.
Like right now, we have not 1 but 3 seasons in the works! We're currently releasing season 2 a month at a time, animating season 3 for next year, and prepping for season 4. Then there's the secondary videos we're finding time in between to keep up with like Re-make Re-mix, Re-Animated Reviews, Graphic Violence, and Tribute videos. Add in the daily task of plugging the show across every conceivable social media and the time needed for creating new original works for promotional material, and this is a true labor of love only crazy people would commit too!
But it'll be worth it. There's been the occasional heckler (like 1 out of every 1,500 internet patrons told about the show), but the show's been validated overall with rising Youtube subscriptions, Facebook likes, and Twitter followers. And we listen to the fans. Boy howdy, do we listen. We were with one fan when he started fast forwarding a little in the show toward the end, and he told us they were doing that because the animated segments had become somewhat predictable by episode 15. That's when we realized we needed to step up our game and start pushing the envelope regarding the stories and animation. From here on out, you can expect to start seeing some more story archs, new characters, and action sequences that explores more of the Howl-Inn Grub and Spirits. Oh, the show's going to some exciting places, and we can't wait to take you Scream Freaks!
For now, you'll just have to settle for a sneak peek at the newest addition to the cast who will be appearing in the next episode scheduled 7/20/15.
Otherwise, be sure you're caught up with the rest of Screaming Soup! Season 2, use our social buttons in the upper right corner of the site and follow our tweets, subscribe to our Youtube channel, like our Facebook, watch and share all our vids, and keep that fan mail coming.
That's pretty much it for now, so I'll see ya' later Scream Freaks!

Q: The strong Markov property with an uncountable index set The following definition of the strong Markov property, from Klenke's book, supposes an index set $I$ that is not necessarily countable. However, it is explicitly mentioned previously (following Lemma 9.23) that for uncountable $I$, $X_\tau$ is not always measurable. So how can i make sense of this definition in case $I$ isn't countable?
Definition 17.12 (p. 350) Let $I\subseteq\left[0,\infty\right]$ be closed under addition. A Markov process $\left(X_t\right)_{t\in I}$ with distributions $\left(\mathrm{P}_x,\space x\in E\right)$ has the strong Markov property iff for every a.s. finite stopping time $\tau$, every bounded $\mathcal{B}\left(E\right)^{\otimes I}-\mathcal{B}\left(\mathbb{R}\right)$ measurable function $f:E^I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ and every $x\in E$ we have
$$\mathrm{E}_x\left[\left.f\left(\left(X_{\tau+t}\right)_{t\in I}\right)\space\right|\mathcal{F}_\tau\right]=\mathrm{E}_{X_\tau}\left[f\left(X\right)\right]:=\intop_{E^I}\kappa\left(X_\tau,\mathrm{d}y\right)f\left(y\right)$$

A: A sufficient condition is that the process $X$ is measurable, that is, the map
$(\omega,t)\to X(\omega,t)$ should be measurable on the product space
$(\Omega\times I,{\cal F}\times {\cal I})$ to $(E,{\cal E})$.
Then if $\tau:(\Omega,{\cal F})\to(I,{\cal I})$ is
a (measurable) random time,  the composition
$$\begin{array}{ccccc}
\omega &\to& (\omega,\tau(\omega))&\to& X(\omega,\tau(\omega))\\[3pt]
{\cal F}&& {\cal F}\times{\cal I} &&{\cal E}\end{array}
$$
is measurable.
The joint measurablility of $(\omega,t)\to X(\omega,t)$ is often proved
by combining  measurability of the slices $\omega\to X(\omega,t)$
 with  some sort of sample path regularity. For instance, left or right continuity is enough.

A: You don't need $$\tilde X:=\left(X_{\tau+t}\right)_{t\in I}:\Omega\to E^I$$ to be $\mathcal F_\tau$-measurable (which is, more or less, the statement of Lemma 9.23). Please note, that in that case $$\operatorname E_x\left[f\circ\tilde X\mid\mathcal F_\tau\right]=f\circ\tilde X\;.$$ What you need is $\mathcal A$-measurability of $\tilde X$. A sufficient condition would be $\mathbb F$-progressive measurability of $X$, i.e. $$\Omega\times[0,t]\to E\;,\;\;\;(\omega,s)\mapsto X_s(\omega)$$ should be measurable with respect to $\mathcal F_t\otimes\mathcal B\left([0,t]\cap I\right)$, for all $t\in I$.

Try to show, that in this case, the stopped process $\left(X_t^\tau\right)_{t\in I}$ is $\mathbb F$-progressive measurable, too.

Then, take $B\in\mathcal E$ and $t\in I$ and observe, that since $$\left\{X_\tau\in B\right\}\cap\left\{\tau\le t\right\}=\left\{X_{\tau\wedge t}\in B\right\}\cap\left\{\tau\le t\right\}\;,$$ it's sufficient to show, that $\left\{X_{\tau\wedge t}\in B\right\}\in\mathcal F_t$. But by the previous claim $\left(X_{\tau\wedge t}\right)_{t\in I}$ is $\mathbb F$-adapted. Thus, $X_\tau$ is $\mathcal F_\tau$-measurable. Since $\tau+t$ is a $\mathbb F$-stopping time, too (for all $t\in I$), $\tilde X$ is $\mathcal A$-measurable.
At the end, you might want to notice, that

A sufficient condition for $\mathbb F$-progressive measurability is $\mathbb F$-adaptedness and left- or right-continuity.

As a chef, he enjoys connecting with people in the community, and the opportunities he gets to work with local farmers and other food artisans that provide high-quality ingredients to his restaurants.
Douglas finds that being a chef is a lot like being a filmmaker: he gets to work with an incredible group of people to create something for others to enjoy and he gets to tell stories; except instead of storytelling with cameras, he gets to use food!

The post-Covid 'zombification' of advanced economies is here to stay, EIU warns
Published Wed, Oct 28 202012:05 PM EDT Updated Wed, Oct 28 202010:23 PM EDT
Vicky McKeever@vmckeevercnbc
G20 countries have so far announced stimulus programs worth around $11 trillion.
The public-debt-to-GDP ratio is set to rise to around 140% of GDP across developed economies.

LONDON — The coronavirus pandemic is likely to cause a long-lasting "zombification" of the global economy, a prominent research firm warns.
Agathe Demarais, global forecasting director of the Economist Intelligence Unit, suggested that those "zombie" features previously associated with the "Japanese economy — slow growth, low inflation and high debt — will become common across advanced economies" following the pandemic.
In the EIU's fourth quarter economic forecast report, published Wednesday, Demarais said that before the outbreak of the coronavirus Japan was considered an "economic oddity."
Japan's economic crash, after its stock market and real estate bubble burst in 1989, was followed by a "'lost decade' of feeble growth between 1991 and 2001," said Demarais, who wrote the EIU report.
The Japanese government's attempt at boosting economic activity through fiscal stimulus failed, she said. Its debt-to-gross domestic product ratio climbed to 240% and inflation remained "stubbornly low."
As a result of the coronavirus, those characteristics of slow growth, low inflation and high levels of debt would now become common among advanced economies in decades to come, Demarais said.
"The pandemic may not last once a vaccine is found," she stated in the report. "However, the post-coronavirus zombification of advanced economies appears to be here to stay."

Indeed, this could be seen as advanced economies implemented "extraordinary" fiscal measures in response to the coronavirus crisis. G20 countries had so far announced stimulus programs worth around $11 trillion, which is nearly the same size of the Japanese, German and French economies combined.
The public-debt-to-GDP ratio will rise to around 140% of GDP across developed economies, Demarais predicted.
Previously this would have raised concerns about government debt crises, however, this time around central banks have been financing and enabling the roll out of stimulus packages. And as inflation remains low, this public debt will "erode over time and, crucially, cost virtually nothing to service," Demarais said.
On the other hand, an unexpected pickup in inflation was a "significant risk" as central banks would be forced to raise interest rates, causing the cost of government borrowing to "spiral out of control."
The EIU also warned that government support measures, such as furlough schemes, will keep afloat otherwise unprofitable companies, "weighing on productivity and innovation and fueling a rise in the number of 'zombie' firms." In addition, instead of putting money into research and development, businesses that benefitted from government help would be paying those loans for years, Demarais added in the report.
Kevin O'Leary, a judge on ABC's "Shark Tank," has urged against giving stimulus to "zombie companies." He said on CNBC's "Capital Connection" last week that this money should go to people who really need it.

A middle grade author updates a timeless story
By Johanna Hurwitz |
More than 25 years ago, I wrote a novel for middle grade readers called The Law of Gravity. It tells the story of an 11-year-old girl who attempts to make her reclusive, agoraphobic mother come downstairs and out into the world. The sales staff at Morrow Junior Books worried that children would think it was a work of nonfiction. They thought to have a line under the title that called it a novel. I asked my 10-year-old son if he knew what that meant. "Sure," he answered. "Sometimes it's fiction, and sometimes it's nonfiction." I phoned my editor: "Definitely don't identify my book as a novel," I said, telling her about my son. That's why on the book jacket it said "a story."
That novel had a good life. The Law of Gravity was well reviewed, was on many state reading lists, and became a Weekly Reader Book Club selection and a Scholastic paperback. Scholastic immediately changed the title to What Goes Up Must Come Down, a very clever title that neither the Morrow staff nor I had considered. The book sold for more than 20 years before it went out of print.
But then a new option became available. StarWalkKids Media is bringing out my book in an e-format. "Would you tweak the story and bring it up to date?" I was asked. Up to date? I thought I had written a contemporary story. But I was wrong.
Upon rereading it, I discovered that a quarter of a century ago is ancient history. My protagonist, Margot Green, lives in New York City. I gave her a large dog so she could safely walk the city streets alone. Nowadays, Margot can carry a cell phone and let her mother know exactly where she is and when she will be home. She can call the police if necessary. Other new devices enable my characters to view movies streamed onto their television sets or other devices.
Thinking back on the books I most loved and read as a youngster, I realize that most were out of date even when I read them. Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House Books, for example, were set in the 1870s: Betsy-Tacy and Heidi lived without electricity and without the inventions that came later. The differences in the lives of these characters to my own just seemed to add a charm to the books. I never objected to their old-fashioned settings.
In my book, Margot frequently goes to her local public library accompanied by her dog. When I wrote my book, this was permissible. Nowadays, except for service dogs, animals are not allowed inside the New York Public Library. It would have been an easy thing to eliminate the presence of the dog, except for the charming illustrations by Ingrid Fetz, which show the dog inside the library.
I could eliminate the drawings, but I decided against it, since outside of N.Y.C., children don't know the library's ruling about animals. Another drawing that is a problem shows Margot riding a bike without a helmet. Hopefully this won't upset my e-readers.
The value of money is always a problem with passing time. I increased the amount Margot was paid for babysitting to $10 an hour. Shea Stadium, where the New York Mets played baseball, has been replaced by Citifield. Luckily, I never mentioned the price of the tickets when Margot went to see a baseball game.
I also made some language changes in my revision. Originally, Margot sits "Indian style," but nowadays this is a politically incorrect usage. So in the updated version, Margot is sitting cross-legged.
At the conclusion of most chapters, Margot sends a letter to her best friend, one of those old-fashioned letters that are placed in an envelope, sealed, and mailed with a postage stamp attached. Today, paper letters are passé. The appropriate thing for Margot to do in this day and age is to send a text message. The revised edition of my book has text messages. They were not written by me. My 15-year-old granddaughter, Juliet Hurwitz, took on the assignment!
The e-book will be available with the title What Goes Up Must Come Down. It will also say, "Original Title: The Law of Gravity." And hopefully, the story will live happily ever after—at least until another wave of new technology arrives on the scene.
Johanna Hurwitz is the author of 75 books for young readers; many are now available exclusively as e-books.

The second international workshop on Strong Coupling with Organic Molecules (SCOM 2018), hosted by the Surface Photonics group, has been carried out in Eindhoven. This workshop has attracted over 125 scientist from the whole world to discuss intensively during 3 days the latest developments on polaritonic physics. You can read more about this workshop in this link . SCOM 2020 will take place in Gothenburg.

In the mood for delectable barbecue cuisine paired with great service and reasonable prices? Look no further than CocoMoes Q and Catering Too!, the latest addition to Gardnerville's culinary landscape. The eatery, located at 795 Tillman Lane, offers an array of different barbecued meats generously laden with secret sauces and delicious home-cooked sides.
Owners Amber and Ben Larimer said the name of the family-run restaurant is a pairing of their nicknames — Coco and Moe. The couple has been in the catering business for the past 20 years, servicing Northern California before moving to Gardnerville. Larimer has won several national awards for his barbecue sauces. However, his passion lies in smoking, and he said it was a natural progression for the couple to move from catering to opening their first restaurant.
The Larimers said they strive to bring together customer service and quality food.
"We want to be in the middle of the road where we have great food for a good price paired with good service," they said.
The restaurant is designed with two separate stations, one for patrons who want to dine-in and another who want to grab their meal and go. A drive-through is set to open soon.
The menu boasts a variety of different meats and cuts including chicken, brisket, pulled pork and pork ribs, with tri-trip also offered on Fridays. Sides include smoked macaroni and cheese, southern green beans and potato salad. They said future offerings could include southern-based specials on Fridays.
The Larimers said the menu is based on the popularity of their barbecue cuisine and that the brisket and pulled pork are the top sellers.
"We wanted to make sure that in having a simple and straightforward menu, we are able to do everything right," Ben said.
All items on the menu are prepared fresh daily, and the meat, which is never frozen, is smoked each day. Everything on the menu except the salads is smoked.
Although the eatery has been open just over a month and is still in its soft-opening phase, response by the public has been overwhelmingly positive, the couple said.
Amber said she monitors patrons' satisfaction in person or through the restaurant's Facebook page. The menu and restaurant hours reflect feedback from customers.
Managing a full-time eatery has not slowed down the Larimers. They continue operating their catering business, which services Tahoe, Sparks, Reno, Carson City, Auburn and Winnemucca, and since May they have catered 90 different events. A glance at their Yelp and Thumbtack pages shows how in-demand and appreciated their food and service is.
CocoMoes will unveil a special Super Bowl menu on their Facebook page in mid-January.

Leading hospitality and food service companies sign up to waste agreement
WRAP today announces that 73 leading UK hotels, pubs, restaurants, quick service restaurants (QSRs), contract caterers, industry bodies and government departments have signed up to the Hospitality and Food Service Agreement.
Compass, Domino's Pizza, Greene King, Greggs, McDonald's Restaurants Ltd, Unilever Food Solutions, amongst major players signed up from across the UK
UK businesses could save up to £76 million by end of 2015
Sector can cut carbon impact of food and associated packaging waste by 5% target
Sector can increase the overall rate of food and packaging waste that is being recycled, sent to AD or composted to 70%
Fourteen UK government departments, Scottish Government and Welsh Government sign up as supporters
Industry urged to sign up to the Agreement
The sector wide UK voluntary agreement is launched today by WRAP, on behalf of UK, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland governments. The agreement aims to cut food and associated packaging waste by 5% (a CO2e reduction of 234,000 tonnes), the equivalent of approximately 100 million meals. It also aims to increase the overall rate of food and packaging waste that is being recycled, sent to AD or composted to 70% (a CO2e reduction of 336,000 tonnes).
Signatories can together expect to achieve great cost savings. Indeed, if just 25% of the sector were to sign up, they can save up to £761 million by the end of 20152, and reduce their CO2 (e) impact by 570,000 tonnes.
The voluntary agreement, which was developed with industry and UK, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland governments, builds on WRAP's research, and work already being undertaken by the sector to tackle waste. It also delivers on all four governments' commitment to tackle waste and carbon.
Government support from the UK nations for the voluntary agreement has also been wide scale with fourteen UK government departments, Scottish, and Welsh governments all signing up to the agreement to encourage their own caterers to cut waste.
Organisations that opt to sign up to the agreement either join as signatories or supporters, depending on their role within the sector, with signatories reporting directly against the two main targets. Of the 73 organisations signed up to the agreement, 28 are signatories and 45 are supporters.
The voluntary agreement has grouped business signatories into 'Large businesses', 'Smaller businesses'. In general a business signatory is an organisation who produces and serves their customer a meal/snack. A supporter is an organisation who works within the sector but is not delivering that meal/snack directly to a customer. For example a business which has catering which is contracted out, packaging manufacturers, food and drink manufacturers, and trade associations.
WRAP will work across the sector and accelerate the good practice that is already going on through collaborative working and behaviour change. WRAP will provide businesses with support to equip them to make these changes happen through online tools, workshops, working groups and expert advice.
The agreement will be overseen by a Steering Group, which will include signatories and supporters. The group will have responsibility for providing input to voluntary agreement strategy, reviewing progress on delivery against the targets, and sharing good practice.
Dr Liz Goodwin, CEO, WRAP, said: "Tackling food waste brings significant financial and environmental benefits, as already demonstrated through our work on household food waste and within the Courtauld Commitment. I am therefore delighted that so many organisations have signed up already to the Hospitality and Food Service Agreement, and we continue to urge businesses, large and small, to sign up."
Lord Taylor, Defra Minister for Environment, said:
"This new agreement shows these household names are committed to stopping this terrible waste of food. By taking additional steps to reduce the amount of food waste these businesses and organisations will stop the equivalent of 100 million wasted meals going to the bin and save themselves money – a win-win for everyone."
Richard Lochhead, Scotland's Environment Secretary, said:
"We have made huge strides to tackle household food and packaging waste in Scotland. We are now looking at ways to reduce waste that is created away from home, in restaurants, fast food chains and the catering industry. Of course, businesses will need help to do this and the Scottish Government is committed to providing that through our Zero Waste Scotland programme.
"I am delighted that some of Scotland's world-leading hotels have come on board with this initiative from day one and I hope many more follow their example. It not only gives them a chance to demonstrate their values, it can also help these businesses save money and therefore become more sustainable."
John Griffiths, the Welsh Government's Environment Minister, said:
"The Welsh hospitality and food service industry has already done a lot to reduce its waste and recycle more, and I want to acknowledge its good work. This UK-wide agreement will help more businesses prevent waste, manage unavoidable waste sustainably and save money, in line with the ambitions set out in our Towards Zero Waste strategy and draft Food Manufacture, Service and Retail sector plan.
"Hospitality, tourism and food service businesses play an important role in our economy, which is why WRAP Cymru and the Welsh Government are working closely with Welsh industry bodies and with businesses, to ensure that the Agreement meets their needs. I would like to wish the Agreement every success and urge businesses across Wales to follow the example of Castell Howell, SA Brain Ltd and the Millennium Stadium in becoming signatories."
Alex Attwood, Northern Ireland Environment Minister, said:
"Waste from the food industry, both the food itself and the associated packaging, has traditionally been a significant contributor to landfill. WRAP's hospitality and Food Service Agreement is a great way to reduce this waste, therefore reducing landfill contributions. This will be a more efficient use of resources which ultimately saves the signatories money. This is very timely given a challenging recycling target which I recently set to increase recycling rates to 60%. My Department and I aim to make Northern Ireland a better place to live, work and invest – I am confident that this agreement will help meet this objective."
Ufi Ibrahim, chief executive, British Hospitality Association, said:
"The BHA is committed to working in partnership with government supporting its aim to reduce waste from food and associated packaging on a voluntary basis in hospitality and foodservice businesses.
"The hospitality industry and its supply chain has already made significant progress in improving its environmental performance and we are pleased to be working with DEFRA, the Devolved Administrations and WRAP (WRAP Cymru & Zero Waste Scotland) on this long-term journey to increase waste prevention and recycling rates, helping to save 570,000 tonnes of CO2e over the life of the agreement."
Brigid Simmonds OBE, Chief Executive British Beer & Pub Association, said:
"Reducing our impact on the environment is the right thing to do – but reducing waste also makes good business sense. While the brewing and pub industry has a good track record going back over 30 years, we can always do more. We are pleased to be part of the Voluntary Agreement and look forward to working with WRAP in helping the industry to make further progress towards the targets."
Mark Linehan, managing director of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, said:
"This agreement is a great step forward in the battle to reduce food waste in the hospitality sector – a sector that is beginning to meet this considerable challenge. We would urge all operators to embrace this opportunity to reduce their environmental impact, save money and respond to public demand. The SRA particularly welcomes the emphasis on waste prevention. Producing less waste saves operators money and time spent managing the waste."

Maybe it's a symptom of middle age, or maybe it's just my old Celtic soul stirring up a seasonal memory.
Either way, late October always tugs on my sleeve and insists that I slow down to take stock of the passing year. Despite the "worries of the week" — or whatever I've chosen to focus on — Mother Nature reminds me that life is all about cycles. Some seasons flow more easily than others, but I have many reasons to be grateful for every one I'm given.

It's the time of year that the stress of the holidays and the shifting of your schedules lends itself to not working out. Have no fear babies, JoJo is here! Quite a few years ago, I regularly posted weekend challenges on an Operation Boot Camp blog that you can find HERE. They are no equipment needed workouts that you can power through and there are enough that you can do one for every day of the holiday season. Fo' free. Yup, reread it, friend I said free. And here's a little tip from me to you: working out is a great way to get some alone time that family members 1. don't usually want to participate in and 2. don't argue for you to stay with them instead. It's 3 gifts in one: exercise, stress release and alone time. You're welcome America.
Other ideas for holiday themed workouts: Turkey Squats – hug that butterball to your chest and do some full squats. Cranberry curls – 14oz cans one in each hand and curl them up from hip height to your chest. I recommend you do that one in front of the mirror. Pick that turkey back up and get yourself into a row boat/v-sit position. Start with the turkey in the center then twist and touch it on the ground moving side to side. Agility – get all family members to lay down on the ground and proceed to hurtle/jump over them. 1-3 family members repeat 10 times, 4-10 repeat 8 times.
