Creating Stronger Student Success Interventions Through Financial Forecasting
Austin Slaughter
Implications for policy and practice:
College administrators should consider the costs and revenues associated with a new student success intervention (for example, enhanced advising) before adoption and implementation.
State policymakers should train colleges in their state to make these calculations and provide estimates of marginal state funding per outcome (that is, the additional state funding a college would receive for producing one additional outcome, such as an enrollment). State policymakers can also use these forecasts to identify gaps in funding that they can fill so colleges are able to implement and sustain interventions that provide benefits to the state.
Researchers should facilitate these forecasts by including cost analyses in their studies, providing effect estimates for outcomes commonly rewarded by state funding models, and developing tools to support forecasting. Cost analyses should present costs and revenues from the college perspective and make calculations transparent (for example, by clarifying the year and region where prices are based).
College administrators, state policymakers, and researchers should account for state funding models that include equity premiums for students from historically marginalized groups.[1] College administrators in states with equity premiums should consider the financial effect of adopting interventions that target students in the relevant populations. State policymakers should demonstrate how the funding model encourages colleges to improve outcomes for students from historically marginalized groups. Researchers can help by publishing the estimated effects of interventions on the outcomes of students from these groups.
New student success interventions generate costs for colleges (for example, staff time and supplies). However, if they lead more students to remain enrolled, cause students to attempt more credits, and improve longer-term student outcomes, they can also generate tuition revenue and state funding (for public institutions in states that allocate funding based on enrollment, student outcomes, or both).
Forecasting the costs and revenues can help college administrators decide which interventions to adopt and to plan for financial sustainability.
In the absence of such forecasts, college administrators might choose not to adopt an evidence-based intervention based on a mistaken belief that the institution cannot sustain the intervention financially or, conversely, choose to adopt an intervention that the college cannot sustain and must ultimately discontinue. Such forecasts can create better alignment between evidence-based interventions and the colleges that can sustain them financially. They may also lead to the increased adoption of evidence-based interventions if college administrators would otherwise overestimate the unrecouped costs associated with an intervention or if risk-averse administrators would be biased toward the status quo in the face of uncertainty regarding the financial effect of a new intervention.
Additionally, forecasting the financial effect of a new intervention can help college administrators better plan for its financial sustainability. If a forecast shows that an intervention will not recoup all of its costs, college administrators might request funding from state policymakers or philanthropists to cover the gap. Administrators could also consider cutting the costs of the intervention to make it more financially sustainable, although such steps might counterintuitively make the intervention less financially sustainable if it becomes less effective and thus generates less revenue.
Forecasts of the financial effect of a new intervention should be conducted from the college perspective.
College administrators are typically the ones who decide to adopt a new intervention and must plan for its financial sustainability. However, interventions that increase retention and degree attainment create economic benefits for students (such as higher incomes) and society (for example, greater tax revenue and less dependence on public assistance) that the college does not capture. Forecasts from the college perspective are not intended to address whether a new intervention generates more benefits than costs from the societal perspective. As such, a forecast from the college perspective that shows an intervention is unlikely to recoup all of its costs does not necessarily mean that the intervention should not be adopted, particularly at a public institution with a mission to advance the public good.
There are three components in forecasting the costs and revenues of a new intervention that apply to all postsecondary institutions:
Direct costs are the costs associated directly with providing the intervention.
Indirect costs are the costs associated with changes in behavior resulting from the intervention, such as taking more credits.
Tuition revenue, which may be paid by students or financial aid, is generated as a result of interventions causing more students to stay enrolled and causing them to take more credits.
State funding is also relevant for public institutions. Local funding may be relevant for community colleges, and auxiliary revenue is relevant for institutions that generate revenue from campus bookstores, campus housing, and dining services.
Calculating the costs and revenues resulting from a new intervention can be challenging for college administrators.
It can be particularly challenging for administrators at institutions that may not be able to invest significant resources in financial forecasting. It can be difficult to estimate the direct costs of a new intervention if previous studies of the intervention did not include a cost analysis or if a published cost analysis is not clear about the year and region on which the cost estimates are based. Estimating the indirect costs of an intervention requires a college to estimate its marginal costs per credit (how much it costs the college to deliver one additional credit), which can be tricky due to the mixture of fixed costs (costs that would be incurred regardless of the number of credits delivered) and variable costs (costs that increase as colleges deliver more credits). Estimating the tuition revenue generated by an intervention can be challenging due to institutional discounts (for example, scholarships awarded by the college) and a mixture of in-district/state and out-of-district/state students who may be paying different amounts. Last, estimating state funding can be complex because state funding models may reward multiple outcomes at different dollar amounts (for example, $2,000 per associate's degree, $1,500 per transfer to a university, and $1,000 for a certificate), and because previous studies may not have estimated an intervention's effects on the particular outcomes a state funding formula rewards, especially if those outcomes are in some way unconventional. State funding models also tend to change every 5 to 10 years, making projections of state funding uncertain.
Community college administrators MDRC has worked with have stated that they are aware of the components required for a forecast of an intervention's costs and revenues, but it is rare for them to produce such forecasts due to the challenges involved in doing so. Of nine colleges that MDRC spoke with about forecasting an intervention's costs and revenues, administrators at only two had ever attempted to produce such a forecast.
Research organizations have begun to develop tools to help colleges assess the costs and revenues associated with an intervention. HCM Strategists, rpk GROUP, the Institute for Higher Education Policy, and the American Council on Education have all developed a version of a "financial forecasting" or "return on investment" tool for interventions in the last five years. In the spring of 2022, MDRC launched its Intervention Return on Investment (ROI) Tool for community college administrators, the first such tool to include multiple interventions with estimated costs and effects on student outcomes already loaded; use rigorous effect estimates from randomized controlled trials; allow users to input their own interventions; cover community colleges nationwide; and be publicly available as a web application. For example, Figure 1 shows information generated by the ROI Tool on the costs and revenues associated with an intervention designed to encourage enrollment in summer courses, from the perspective of the Austin Community College District in Texas. While MDRC's Intervention ROI Tool addresses many of the barriers described above for community colleges, it currently does not include universities or private, two-year institutions.
College administrators should become familiar with the process of forecasting intervention costs and revenues.
For example, administrators could learn how to adjust cost estimates based on inflation and regional prices and estimate their college's marginal cost per credit, tuition revenue per credit, and marginal state funding per outcome (which may vary across institutions within the same state). Administrators of colleges in systems with funding models that include equity premiums (24 college systems each in the two- and four-year sectors as of fiscal year 2020) should also consider the financial effect of adopting interventions that target students whose improved outcomes can earn such premiums. If a college already has staff members responsible for the college's overall financial forecasting (for example, in the office of the chief financial/business officer), it may make sense for such staff members to lead these efforts.
State policymakers should make it easier for colleges to forecast intervention costs and revenues.
For example, state policymakers could:
Train institutions in their state to produce such forecasts.
Provide estimates of marginal state funding per outcome for each public college in their state each year, similar to the "component analysis" published by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. In states with funding models that include equity premiums, such premiums should be included in the documentation.
Produce forecasts for interventions they would like their institutions to adopt, identify gaps where intervention costs exceed revenues, and consider providing funding to fill these gaps and make the intervention financially sustainable.
Researchers can also make it easier for colleges to forecast intervention costs and revenues.
For example, researchers can:
Include transparent cost analyses in their studies that identify the year and region on which prices are based, disaggregate direct and indirect costs, and present costs and revenues from the college perspective.
Provide effects on outcomes that are commonly rewarded by state funding models, such as credits attempted, enrollment, and credential attainment.
Provide effects for groups that are commonly awarded premiums in state funding models (for example, students from low-income backgrounds and students of color).

NOTE: This figure assumes that the marginal cost per credit = $122; tuition revenue per credit = $85; marginal state funding per outcome = the default values used in MDRC's Intervention ROI Tool.
[1]Equity premiums are provisions in state funding models that award additional funding to colleges for the enrollment of or outcomes achieved by students in historically marginalized groups. Examples of historically marginalized groups that equity premiums may award additional funding for include students from low-income backgrounds, students of color, students from rural areas, and students who are required to take remedial courses.

The Pi RTC is based on the clock chip DS1307, it can provide a real-time clock(RTC) for raspberry pi via the I2C interface. Real-time clock of this module counts seconds,minutes, hours, date of the month,month, day of the week, and year with leap-year compensation valid up to 2100. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. If you want to keep this module timing when the Raspberry Pi is powered off, you need to put a 3-Volt CR1225 lithium cell in the battery-holder.
Any applications need Real Time on Raspberry.
RX/TX is not used in this module, but the 5x2 header takes up the RX/TX pin of the Raspberry Pi, so we bring the RX/TX out and come with a 2pin header.
The driver we provide only applied for Raspbian Jessie/Stretch.
If you do not know how to use a raspberry pi, please check here before start.
Please make sure plug the pin 1 of this hat into the pin 1 of raspberry GPIO, just like the picture above.
Now you can use the command to check whether the driver is installed successfully.

Eastern Shore Aeromodelers Club (ESAC) hosted its first ever Jet Rally at the field on Saturday, April 29. The club now has 4 Turbine Waiver pilots with Tom Perkin being the latest to join the ranks flying his qualifying flight at the event with Andy Kane, CD/Turbine Waiver holder and Dennis Blades, Event coordinator/Turbine Waiver holder providing the required signatures on the Waiver Application.
Larry Roper of Boomerang RC Jets and Steven Goler District 1 AVP) were in attendance all the way from Maine.
It has long been a club goal to share the wide open field with as many AMA hobbyists as possible, and hosting a Jet Event was the latest effort. ESAC currently hosts an annual Control Line event and two IMAC competitions during a normal year. Sharing our wonderful field with the public and other AMA members is one way to keep the hobby alive. Several invited pilots were unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts, but an open invitation is extended to come fly any time. In addition to Tom obtaining his waiver, the folks from Boomerang RC Jets set up a buddy box and invited members to fly. It was totally amazing that total strangers would be invited to experience turbine jet flight with the AMA card as the only requirement. What a great hobby and what a great experience to meet new friends like this.
Some pictures of the men and machines are attached.


While it's not clear what the employee's next steps might be, if any, terminations based on employees' social media activity have received a lot of attention in the past few years, particularly from the NLRB—as we have written about before. Whether the NLRB would find this employee's termination problematic depends on various factors, and many of the facts relating to this situation are unknown, but a threshold question would be whether the employee engaged in protected concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act. Specifically, whether her complaints were intended to reflect only on her own situation or were intended to engage other co-workers in a discussion about their working conditions. While the majority of the employee's rant seemed to focus on her personal struggle in stretching her wages to cover food, transportation, medical co-pays and rent, she also touched upon her co-workers' struggles to make ends meet based the Company's compensation practices. The NLRB considers two or more employees' discussion or an employee's complaint on behalf of her other employees regarding wages/compensation to be protected concerted activity.
Given the lack of clarity in this area of the law, employers that are considering disciplining an employee for social media activity should, as always, carefully assess the different laws that may apply to each factual situation and seek legal counsel as appropriate.

Could someone help me understand why the following query does not fetch all the resources with active=1, published=1, resourcePublic=1
Query:
select *
from
    resource resource0_,
    resourceOrganization resourceor1_
where
    resource0_.active=1
    and resource0_.published=1
    and (
        resource0_.resourcePublic=1
        or resourceor1_.resource_id=resource0_.id
        and resourceor1_.organization_id=2
        and (
            resourceor1_.resource_id=resource0_.id
            and resourceor1_.forever=1
            or resourceor1_.resource_id=resource0_.id
            and (
                current_date between resourceor1_.startDate and resourceor1_.endDate
            )
        )
    )

A: As it stands, this query should simplify to:
select *
from
    resource resource0_,
    resourceOrganization resourceor1_
where
    resource0_.active=1 and
    resource0_.published=1 and
    (resource0_.resourcePublic=1 or
        (resourceor1_.resource_id=resource0_.id and
         resourceor1_.organization_id=2 and
            (resourceor1_.forever=1 or
             current_date between resourceor1_.startDate and resourceor1_.endDate
            )
         )
     )

I would expect this to produce a cartesian join to all records on the resourceOrganization table, where the resource table's active, published and resourcePublic values are all 1.
Where the resource table's active and published values are both 1, but resourcePublic is not 1, I would expect an inner join to records on the resourceOrganization table where the organization_id is 2, and either forever is 1 or the current date as at midnight is between the start and end datetime values. I note that the end datetime defaults to 0000-00-00 00:00:00.
Excluding records where either active or published values are not 1, the obvious reasons for the resource not being reported are therefore that the resourcePublic values are not 1, and either:

*

*there is no corresponding resourceOrganization record for organization_id 2, or

*the corresponding resourceOrganization record has a forever value that is not 1 and
the current date as at midnight is not between the start and end datetime values.

The date range appears the most likely source of incorrectly excluded records - records entered in the current day will have start datetime values after midnight and will therefore be excluded, while records with no end date specified will default to 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and will therefore also be excluded.
Therefore, I recommend rewriting the query to be something like:
select *
from resource r
left join resourceOrganization ro
on r.id = ro.resource_id and ro.organization_id = 2
where
    r.active=1 and
    r.published=1 and
    (r.resourcePublic=1 or
     ro.forever=1 or
     now() between ro.startDate and
           (case where ro.endDate = '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
                 then now()
                 else ro.endDate end
           )
     )

A: Mark, Tony, Leslie and all, thanks for your feedback but I managed to sidestep the problem!
I discovered that the where clause results in false if there are no records in resourceOrganization table. That means even if resource table has records where active, published and resourcePublic are all 1, if there are no data in resourceOrganization table, the where clause results in false. I really don't understand why this is the case but now that I discovered this, I added some logic in my Java code to build query string depending on whether are records in resourceOrganization table.
In any case, does anyone have any explanation for this behavior?

Whether you are entering in order to test the level of your running ability, simply for the fun of enjoying the moment, surrounded by fellow fitness enthusiasts or your participation and training are all in a good cause, there is no doubt that organised events and their proliferation in the past few years have brought a new dimension to clocking up the miles.
Far from being an often solitary pastime, running is increasingly seen as a participation sport that offers ordinary individuals the chance to get fit and make friends along the way.
In terms of the UK, the most high-profile and prestigious event is the London marathon, usually run in April of each year. The general public has two routes open to them if they want to enter: firstly they can apply to join through the ballot, or secondly by applying to one of the charities that are allocated places every year by the race organisers. The popularity of the London marathon means it is difficult to secure a place, and like all races it requires a serious commitment from each individual, but there is no doubt that it represents an exhilarating if exhausting experience for everyone who is lucky enough to take part.
The same is true of the Great North Run, held in the autumn on a half-marathon course linking Newcastle and South Shields. In common with the 26-mile event in the capital, entry is through a ballot system with additional places allocated to runners representing individual charities. The website also has information on a range of similar events, including those held in the cities of Manchester and Edinburgh.
In addition to these high-profile races, runners will find a great many events, many organised in aid of charity, happening throughout the country during the course of each year. You will find that these will be a lot easier to gain entry to, although it is always best not to leave it too late. Any run that will involve liaison with the police or city council in order to organise traffic restrictions on the day of the race is likely to mean that the number of participants will be limited in order to calculate a specific amount of time that it will take for the runners to pass a particular point so that the roads can be reopened.
Individuals who are members of running clubs or organised running classes at their local gym will be kept in touch with forthcoming events, while it is always a good idea to keep one eye on the local press where you are likely to find either editorial or advertisements involving charities or companies eager to promote a race they are sponsoring. The same is true of children's nurseries and hospitals, all of which have been encouraged by the fundraising potential of linking good causes to sports events.
Of course, there is always the option of seizing the initiative, photocopying some sponsorship forms and gathering together some friends and neighbours to raise some money. Completing a few laps of the park will involve no headache in terms of course organisation and you may be instrumental in adding a few new members to the wider running community. So what are you waiting for?

Surely God knew I needed to find another job, at least part-time.
Surely He knew we didn't need any more medical bills.
Like so many other things, it seemed a random misfortune, especially considering the manner in which it happened. I didn't injure it skydiving or bungee jumping, or even by participating in that fitness staple of the forty-plus-year-old woman, "Zumba".
I broke it by stepping out of bed because I needed to use the bathroom. It made a horrible crunch and I felt searing pain….stepping onto the floor.
I know….reckless, wanton behavior. What can I say? I live on the edge.
For eleven days after the injury, I didn't seek medical help, believing that it was a bad sprain. I'll just walk it out….I didn't want to make a big deal about it, and frankly….I had other plans for that time. The swelling and pain got to be too much, and I finally relented, going to the doctor. The result of my top-notch stubbornness was a referral to an orthopedic specialist that quickly became a pre-op appointment and within days, surgery to rebuild my ankle. Clearly, denial was not a good strategy. When will I learn? Denial never works out for me.
The surgery went well, and I rested as directed for several days afterward. Still, I was frustrated about the whole thing, and though it seems silly in retrospect, I've always kind of liked my ankles the way they were. I know it sounds odd, but I could find fault with nearly every feature on my person, except for my ankles. And although they are disproportionally small, they really do a good job of helping my feet get me where I need to be.
I'm not a big fan of pain, either, and there was plenty of that involved.
The first time I had a good look at my leg after surgery, my husband was sitting with me. He makes it a point to be by my side when I need him most; he is just cool that way. I took off the boot, and unwrapped the dressings. Then the gauze pad.
On the outside of my leg, an angry-looking five inch scar ran from the lower calve to the top of my foot. Stitches poked out at random intervals like little weeds in a garden row. And where did the bone go? The little round anklebone that should jut out a bit? GONE.
"It's…it's…" I sniffed "It looks like Franken-ankle!" That's what it looked like to me.
To which my Beloved, a man who lives with three grown daughters and a very emotionally- driven wife replied, "It looks great!" He knows a thing or two about smoothing over hysteria. Less is more. He gave me the tightest hug and smiled, and I felt better.
Days later, when I did the writing, I felt better still. Bad things happen all of the time to each of us, much worse things than a broken leg. Maybe God allowed it to happen now so that I would slow down enough to actually do some writing, which I'd been threatening to do for years. I don't really know, because the Almighty doesn't let me in on the Master Plan, even when I ask real nice. Or ask repeatedly. The whole incident seemed overwhelming when it was happening, and as I heal, it sometimes still feels that way. But it's better every day.
"Why" is a big thing with me; I wish it wasn't. I am God's oldest four-year-old, following him around and tugging on the hem of his garment, asking "WHY?" Writing about things always helps me work through the pesky stages of acceptance (including denial), and reminds me what REALLY holds me together in all of the ways that matter, the grace of God. Sticks and stones (and midnight bathroom trips) may break my bones, but His plans will never hurt me. He knows my needs, far better than I do.
As for what now holds my leg together? One titanium plate, six screws and one pin. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. I am learning to reach for the hem of Jesus' garment for His healing, and His will, instead of reaching out to ask Him "why".

Although Tesla is not present at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit this year, Elon Musk has been awarded the 'Disruptor of the Year' Award at the CNET Roadshow Shift Awards.
Musk won the award over the other two nominees—Mike Flewitt, CEO of McLaren Automotive, and Travis Vandenzanden, CEO of scooter company Bird.
No Tesla, however, won in the vehicle categories in the CNET Roadshow Shift Awards. Tesla was nominated for Safety Tech of the Year for its Navigate on Autopilot update 9.0. The winner was Audi for its Drive Assistance Package with zFAS and lidar. In the Driveline Tech of the Year category, Tesla was nominated for its all-wheel drive Performance powertrain. The winner was Nissan/Infiniti for its VC-Turbo variable compression.
The Disruptor of the Year award "is all about pushing the industry forward and leaving a lasting impact on the future of the automotive industry. Elon Musk fits that bill to a T. After smoothing out its production process, Tesla once again proved profitable. The Model 3 quickly launched itself to prominence in an already busy segment, and buyers themselves could feel the effects of those launches thanks to its wild Performance variant. Hell, he even made tunnels interesting," wrote Roadshow Editor in Chief Tim Stevens.
Musk really stirred the pot the most over the past year. As he was working hard to ensure the ramping up of Model 3 production, he increased his Twitter activity, saying in early August that he would take Tesla private "funding secured", only to backtrack on that proposal two weeks later.
The tweet secured Musk an investigation from the SEC, which later charged Tesla's CEO with securities fraud. Musk and the SEC quickly settled the charge days after the commission charged him. Last year, Musk also snubbed analysts on one conference call, saying their questions were 'boring', and appeared on a live video interview during which he smoked marijuana.
At the end of the year, Tesla's vehicle deliveries for Q4 2018 hit a record high as the EV maker delivered 90,700 vehicles in the last quarter of 2018, more than all the cars it delivered to clients in 2017.

Vuelta Stage 5: Calm the Hell Down
By Chris Fontecchio Aug 23, 2016, 1:53pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Vuelta Stage 5: Calm the Hell Down
Ulet Infansasti
Stage 5: Viveiro -- Lugo, 171.3km
Hotter, duller,... sprintier?
The fifth stage of the Vuelta a España closes the books on Galicia by heading to the inland regional capital of Lugo. It's the start of the first and maybe last truly calm phase of the race, as the Vuelta starts to kick the can down the road toward what will eventually be a dazzling array of climbing stages. But you can't just launch into that straight off, can you?
ChrisF's Dirt and Rock Pairings
Where we never take things for granite.
The most famous location of this stage is the Playa de las Catedrales (or Cathedral Beach). Located between Foz and Ribadeo, it is a protected zone with a sandy area and cliffs of up to 32 metres tall. For geologists, the main attractions of this landscape are the rocks, slates and schists formed 500 million years ago, whose strata are a history book of the region – albeit a difficult one to interpret. And a word to travellers, the tides are very extensive throughout the entire Atlantic and Cantabrian coast. In order to be able to enjoy these geological structures, the area must be visited during low tide and, for this purpose, there is nothing better than a tide table.
Cathedral Beach! All the action, geology-wise, is early on, and there isn't much to say about the area around Lugo except that it has a Roman wall made of granite. And the term of the day...
Magma intrusion. Process whereby magma ascends through the crust, from the deep where rocks melt, until its consolidation below the surface or its arrival to the surface via volcanic eruptions.
And the down-and-dirty:
Sprint stage! Pay no mind to the undulations, that's just Spain being Spain. To the riders, this is a bunch finish in the making, as long as they don't let the breakaway too far off the leash. The test will be whether there are enough teams to take interest in the sprint for there to even be one, but Etixx-Quick Step's win with Meersman, and lack of any other ambitions here, should put them on the front. My guess is we see it happen.
Whom Does It Favor?
Ugh, are you going to make me name the sprinters again?
Pick to Win
Tyler Farrar. Wait, he's doing leadout. OK, Magnus Cort Nielsen.

Maija Isola´s Tuuli fabric from 1971 is based on a photograph she took in Paris. Isola lived in Paris over several stints in the late 1960s and spent hours wandering through the parks or reading on the grass. In one park, she photographed a tree that held special meaning for her. This photo was developed into the Tuuli fabric.

Q: How to load master-details data(more than 2 hierarchy) using WCF RIA Services I'm trying to get my head around treeviews and am able to do two levels, but I'm stumped with adding the 3rd level.  I assume you make a 3rd Hierarchical Template - but I'm not sure how this is loaded.  I'm using the AdventureWorks database as sample data.
I'm using the Product, ProductCategory, and ProductSubCategory tables.
My Metadata looks like. (just the interesting bits)
public partial class Product
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int ProductID { get; set; }

    public string ProductNumber { get;set; }

    public ProductSubcategory ProductSubcategory { get; set; }

    public Nullable<int> ProductSubcategoryID { get; set; }
}

public partial class ProductCategory
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int ProductCategoryID { get; set; }

    [Include]

    [Composition]

    public EntityCollection<ProductSubcategory> ProductSubcategory { get; set; }
}

public partial class ProductSubcategory
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [Include]

    [Composition]

    public EntityCollection<Product> Product { get; set; }

    public ProductCategory ProductCategory { get; set; }

    public int ProductCategoryID { get; set; }

    public int ProductSubcategoryID { get; set; }

My Queries look like :
public IQueryable<Product> GetProduct()
{
    return this.ObjectContext.Product;
}

public IQueryable<ProductCategory> GetProductCategory()
{
    return this.ObjectContext.ProductCategory.Include("ProductSubcategory");
}

public IQueryable<ProductSubcategory> GetProductSubcategory()
{
    return this.ObjectContext.ProductSubcategory.Include("Product");
}

My Code behind (which is where I'm having the problem understanding how to load two queries). I want to return Products under ProductSubCategory under ProductCategory.
public partial class Tree : Page
{
    public Tree()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        AdventureWorksContext ads = new AdventureWorksContext();

        trvTree.ItemsSource = ads.ProductCategories;

        ads.Load(ads.GetProductCategoryQuery());
    }
}

A: Try modifying your GetProductCategory query as such:
{
    return this.ObjectContext.ProductCategory.Include("ProductSubcategory").Include("ProductSubcategory.Product");
}

I don't know if it'll work in your case, where you want to build a tree, but it should include the data as needed.

La Chianina est une race bovine italienne. Très ancienne race de travail, elle a été reconvertie avec succès dans la production de viande. La Chianina est la plus grande race de bovin domestique du monde.

Origine

Géographique

Elle est originaire du centre de l'Italie :Ombrie, Latium, Toscane. Elle tire son nom du Val di Chiana

Historique
C'est une race très ancienne, connue depuis la fin de l'Antiquité. Déjà, les Étrusques puis les Romains utilisaient dans cette région, des bovins blancs pour sacrifier à leurs Dieux ; des sculptures de tête de taureau sur des monuments antiques de la région, ressemblent beaucoup à la morphologie d'une chianina.

Ses caractéristiques de taille et stature ont été sélectionnées par l'institut zootechnique de l'université de Florence, avant que ce travail ne soit repris par l'association des éleveurs. Associée aux races marchigiana et romagnola, elle est à la base d'une demande de reconnaissance en indication géographique protégée «  », veau blanc de l'Apennin central.

Elle a été introduite en Amérique du nord au début des années 1970 sous forme de paillettes de semence pour contourner une interdiction d'importation de bovins à cause de zoonoses.

Morphologie
La robe est blanche porcelaine chez les deux sexes. On admet chez les mâles quelques nuances gris-acier sur le train postérieur. Les veaux sont froment (blonds) jusqu'à six mois. Les muqueuses, mufle, bouche, organes sexuels sont sombres. Les cornes sont courtes à pointe noire, portées sur une tête courte à front large chez le mâle et à tête plus fine et allongée chez la vache. Le cou est court à fanon presque absent. Le tronc cylindrique est allongé et large, de la poitrine à la croupe. Les pattes sont longues mais solides, terminés par des onglons durs. Sous le pelage clair, la peau est sombre, permettant une bonne tolérance aux climats ensoleillés.

C'est la plus grande race de bovin domestique du monde.
La vache fait 150 à  au garrot, et pèse 800-1 , alors que le taureau mesure 160 à , et pèse  à  kilogrammes. Les vaches de plus de  et les taureaux de plus de  ne sont pas rares, et des extrêmes sont référencés à . Le record en poids a été obtenu en 1955 par le taureau Donetto, qui pesait alors .

Aptitudes
C'est une race bouchère anciennement de trait. Elle fournit une viande tendre qui a fait la renommée du bistecca alla fiorentina (steak à la florentine).

C'est une race rustique, résistante aux maladies, aux parasites et aux intempéries. Elle est capable de valoriser des pâturages médiocres. Elle a une bonne longévité mais est peu précoce.

This study explores the barriers and constraints young people currently face when deciding what to do at the end of their compulsory schooling in Year 11. The study conducted by the NFER, working in partnership with Triangle and QA Research, included a survey of 2029 young people who completed Year 11 in either 2008 or 2009 conducted between August and October 2009. This survey was supplemented by interviews with booster samples of 519 young people across specific sub-groups and 102 parent interviews.
The study suggests that there is an issue around the amount and nature of IAG available to some young people. A substantial minority of young people, particularly those with LDD, teenage parents, and young people in JWT or who are NEET feel that they have not received enough support and information, and do not feel prepared for their future when completing Year 11.

News > The Author > Spring 2020
Season of change
By James McConnachie
Attentive readers will notice that this issue of The Author looks a little different. This is not just about aesthetics; there are reasons for the changes. One motivation is that we want to ensure that The Author is a key part of the SoA's communications with its members and the outside world – and this redesign will allow us to be more present online. We also want to do more to celebrate the work of illustrators, and this new, full-colour design will enable us to do so. After all, Pictures Mean Business, as the campaign puts it, and illustrators are too often the neglected partner in the business of publishing.
The changes are also prompted by reconsidering how sustainable we are. This Spring issue focuses on climate change: we report on how publishers are greening up their act and what authors are doing to contribute – including Liz Jensen's account of how she took part in Extinction Rebellion. But we also have our own part to play – and The Author, accordingly, is now printed on 100% recycled paper using 100% renewable energy.
Climate change often feels like the great topic of the moment, of the generation, even, but other subjects in this issue are no less vital and urgent. Barney Norris writes passionately on how authors can reimagine the notion of mental health. Rebecca Wait considers how we should handle writing about suicide. The writer and illustrator Sarah Lightman offers her thoughts, and drawings, on combining motherhood and work.
We also tackle the drier but still crucial issues of taxation and copyright. Many people know that VAT is levied on chocolate-covered biscuits but not on chocolate-covered cakes – a fact that has been famous since McVities forced the Inland Revenue to accept that Jaffa Cakes are indeed cakes. Many know, too, that tampons attract VAT as a supposedly 'luxury' item (admittedly at the lower, 5% rate). Far fewer people are aware, I think, that when you buy a printed book you do not pay a penny in VAT, whereas when you buy an ebook the government levies the full 20%. The Publishers Association is duly campaigning to 'Axe the Reading Tax' and the SoA supports that campaign. Charging VAT on ebooks is not just anomalous, it is scandalous. [Online Editor's Note, 20/03/20: This has, of course, now been implemented – and VAT on ebooks scrapped.]
Equally scandalous, in my view, is the UK Government's recent refusal to implement the EU's Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. The Directive was formally adopted in June 2019, with UK support, but the deadline for countries to implement it is in June 2021 – and the government has now announced that it will not do so. The result will be that authors in the UK will not enjoy the same protections as their European colleagues. They will not have a right to transparency (meaning better, clearer reporting by publishers), nor to a contract-adjustment mechanism (a fairer share where a work sells much better than expected – the 'bestseller clause'), nor to reversion (claiming back rights where the publisher isn't exploiting them – a crucial but often negl ected point which we cover in detail in this issue).
These are significant blows. The Copyright Directive was not perfect but it was the best opportunity in years to redress some of the worst asymmetries, inequalities and abuses of too many author-publisher contracts. We look to the government, now, for a UK alternative.

'I wanted to produce a [cover] image that was a warning, but also hopeful. A celebration of creativity and the imagination in the face of the imminent catastrophe
that climate change represents. I wanted to capture the threat we are facing and, at the same time, show that writers and artists have a role to play, that they can have a positive impact on the way we think about climate change, and that we can be inspired to alter our behaviour.'

Nemaura Announces Addition of New Predictive Alert Functionality to SugarBEAT®
Enhances Product Capabilities in Advance of CE Mark Approval
April 16, 2019 – Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company focused on the development of SugarBEAT® as a non-invasive, affordable and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for use by diabetics and pre-diabetics, today announced that it has incorporated new predictive alert functionality into SugarBEAT®.
Alerts have been designed to provide visual indication when glucose levels are falling or rising above minimum and maximum thresholds. Additional audible alerts or physical vibration of the Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone connected to SugarBEAT® will occur in instances where glucose levels are deemed to fall to dangerously low levels, until switched off by the user.
British Standards Institute (BSI), Nemaura's designated European Notified Body, has accepted Nemaura's proposed plan to incorporate these alerts into the current CE Mark application, and BSI is currently reviewing the supporting verification and quality related documentation.
Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura, said, "While the non-invasive nature of SugarBEAT® opens up the CGM market to Type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetics, the inclusion of these alerts will particularly appeal to Type 1 diabetics who are at higher risk of hypoglycemia, or very low glucose levels. Adding the alerts and alarms, based on predictive algorithms, as part of the current CE review process avoids the need for a subsequent CE application thus shortening the time that it would have otherwise taken to integrate these key features in the device. Even with these additions, we remain on track for CE Mark approval followed by our commercial launch later this year."
Upon receiving CE Mark approval, Nemaura's plan is to initially launch SugarBEAT® in the United Kingdom, where the addressable market for CGM is valued at over $1.3 billion. The overall global addressable market for CGM is estimated at $82 billion per year, and the U.S. market alone is estimated at $13 billion1. Given that SugarBEAT® is non-invasive, coupled with its affordability and flexibility, the Company expects to become a dominant player in this market.

About Nemaura Medical, Inc.:

Insulin users can adjunctively use SugarBEAT® when calibrated by a finger stick reading. SugarBEAT® consists of a daily, disposable adhesive skin-patch connected to a small form factor rechargeable transmitter, connected via Bluetooth to a specially designed mobile application, which displays glucose readings at five-minute intervals throughout the day.
