Diversity in business: Sterling Schoen describes the origins of The Consortium
Few records of The Consortium's early history survive, particularly those that articulate Sterling Schoen's motivation for founding the organization. This is an exception. Dr. Schoen discusses some of what he saw in the early 1960s that motivated him to pursue greater diversity in business in this letter, written in 1996 on the occasion of Wally Jones' retirement as the second director of The Consortium.
The letter is written to Alfred Edwards, then a management professor at the University of Michigan and an advocate for the work of The Consortium on campus. This letter was lightly edited to improve readability here and conform with some modern style conventions.
Mr. Alfred Edwards
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109
Dear Mr. Edwards:
Alfred Edwards, former management professor at the University of Michigan.
I am glad that you included me in the list of participants in celebrating Wally's retirement. He has done a superb job and I am very pleased to be able to help acknowledge it.
Thank you for sending me background information on The Consortium. While I have not participated in any of its activities and heard nothing of the organization since I resigned to return to full-time graduate school teaching, I have been able to keep in touch through alumni and friends.
Few people are able to recognize what happened in America in the 1960's. While I was at the University of Chicago on a post-doctoral fellowship in 1962–63, I witnessed the burning of Chicago. And, at that time Saul Alinsky was sounding the call for a more widespread and active civil rights agenda.
It was there that I first conceived of the notion that our business schools might take a more active and constructive role in promoting equal opportunity employment in our country. I soon realized that Washington University by itself could make little impact on the problem, and so the idea of a consortium of leading universities was conceived.
It required almost two years of planning and negotiating to get to the point where we were able to conduct a Feasibility Conference, which, as it turned out, concluded that the consortium was both desirable and feasible. We were fortunate to bring to that conference leaders of the black educational community, including Dr. Hugh Gloster of Hampton University, Dr. Benjamin Mays and many others. Ms. Margaret Bush Wilson, the chairperson of the NAACP was there, along with the vice presidents of two universities and the chancellor of Washington University, Dr. William Danforth, Senator John Danforth, top-level managers of many corporations, and the top level officers of leading foundations, including the Ford Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, both of whom subsequently became sponsors.
There is one person to whom we have never given adequate recognition in all of this, Dr. John Ervin, dean at Washington University. It was he who devoted many hours over more than a year in helping me fine-tune the working paper that brought the project to the attention of so many. It also was he who lent his good name to the undertaking with the consequence that leading Black educators participated in the Feasibility Conference.
And, they, in turn, also lent their good names to the project. Events changed very rapidly those early years. As an example, the Consortium modified its name three times between 1966 and 1970s!
The Ford Foundation made a major grant on December 8, 1966. On December 15, we were out recruiting students and raising funds for admissions in the fall of 1967. As you point out in your memorandum, we were able to find and fund 20 students who accepted our invitation.
And, of course, Wally came on board the summer of 1967 as a member of the staff to conduct our first summer studies program for the new students. It was all uphill, but we slowly obtained both the confidence of students and the support of corporations and foundations. Wally was an important element in the success that The Consortium attained during those early years.
Best wishes for a joyous celebration on June 3.

There is nothing better than being able to bake your own bread, getting it from the oven fresh, and putting it on the table at the time you want. The West Bend 41300 Hi-Rise Electronic Dual-Blade Breadmaker provides an excellent bread making experience.
Making your own bread means that you can decide exactly what you want to bake. This West Bend bread maker is flexible and easy to use, even for novice bakers.
Making homemade bread with the West Bend 41300 is quite straight-forward from the start. You simply need to follow the recipe book that comes with the bread maker.
The West Bend 41300 machine will take over and do the rest.
The West Ben 41300 bread machine offers 3 crust options: light, medium or crusty baking. Apart from this, you can choose four different horizontal loaf sizes, from 1-pound up to 2.5-pounds.
The bread maker also has a series of preset functions that will help you to cook bread, tasty French sticks, wholesome whole wheat and more. You can use the super rapid mode to cook a loaf quickly.
With this bread maker, you can knead dough and bake cakes, jam sandwich or a delicious chocolate cake.
You can use the inbuilt delay timer to preset the baking oven to delay the start of the baking up to 12 hours and 58 minutes. This feature is handy if you wish to wake up to the smell of fresh bread wafting around you.
The West Bend machine has two blades that make the dough rise higher when you are using yeast. There is also a large glass viewing window through which you to check the baking progress without interrupting it by raising the lid of the bread maker.
The West Bend Breadmaker has a powerful motor and bakes delicious bread every time. This bread maker's motor that can handle the heavy dough kneading without a problem. However, it will take quite some time before you can add dried fruits or raisins to your bread or cakes. Despite this, the resulting bread or baked goods are not inferior to those other bread makers that allow you to put these ingredients in sooner.
The West Bend 41300 bread maker has its quirks. For example, it does not alert you about the next phase of the baking process with audible beeps. Therefore, you will need, particularly in the early stages of using it, to be present in the kitchen to closely monitor the baking process. Moreover, the manual lacks information on how long it will take for each part of the baking process to be completed.
Still, the West Bend 41300 bakes excellent bread.
While different from other bread makers, understanding how the West Bend 41300 Hi-Rise Electronic Dual-Blade Breadmaker works is worth your while.
The West Bend 41300 is no longer manufactured. Instead, it has been replaced by the West Bend 47413, which is faster, quieter and better.
While you can still buy the 413000 on Amazon, we don't recommend doing so. Not many sellers sell the bread machine and even if you get it, finding replacement parts can be a nightmare since the manufacturer is no longer supporting it.

Police Training Needs Urgent Reforms, New Report from American University Reveals
in Criminal Justice, News, Politics
The instructional models that are used to train police officers across the U.S. at the academy, in-service, mid-rank, and leadership levels are in many cases antiquated, inadequate, and in critical need of immediate transformation, according to a new report released by American University's School of Public Affairs (SPA). Entitled "Re-Envisioning Police Training in the U.S.: Rejecting the Status Quo, Speeding the Pace of Progress Toward a True 21st Century Model", the report is being released on the website of both SPA and the International Association of the Chiefs of Police.
"Today, policing in America is at a transformative juncture when all aspects of policy, practice, and mission are being examined by the very communities they serve," said Vicky Wilkins, Dean of the School of Public Affairs. "How police officers are trained is the most important factor that dictates how successfully the sworn officers across the U.S. serve their communities."
Working closely with police, members of non-government organizations and community leaders, and academic experts, the authors of the report identified significant gaps in training that require immediate attention. They urge a major overhaul in training course content at all levels to ensure that officers are better prepared to face complex, life- threatening situations.
The authors of the report emphasize the importance of the training of mid-rank officers and the training of agency leaders to ensure that they are prepared to boldly address constantly emerging issues, for example IACP's First Line Leadership or Leadership in Police Organizations. Speaking about mid-rank training for police officers, John Firman, professor of practice and co-author of the report, said: "Thousands of newly-minted supervisors receive little or no training in the complexity of their new roles. It is of paramount importance that they receive in-depth training as they go through the difficult transition to supervising former peers and as they learn conflict-resolution skills to address community, organizational, and officer concerns."
The authors of the report met and held discussions with career police officers, scholars of criminal justice, and community leaders from across the country during a symposium convened by AU SPA's Department of Justice, Law and Criminology and the Key Leadership Institute.
"This report is an important work that offers a multi-disciplinary approach to a national issue," said Falls Church Virginia Police Chief Mary Gavin, a member of AU's Police Training Advisory Committee. "Creating strong bonds among police, community leaders, and experts in the academia is essential to develop evidence-based solutions for training police officers."

Q: best way to replace a value in 2nd table where value in 1st table has updated? im trying to find the last time a value was inputted into table 1 and then input that value into table 2
however due to the sheer size of table 1 (this gets truncated daily) it either takes forever or i end up losing connection to the server
I tried to use a after insert trigger but it would run i then created an event to run every couple hours but again after the 1st time it would run.
The query im currently using is
replace into database.table2 (value1,value2,date,time)
select value1,value2,date,time from database.table1;

value 1 is a unique value which is the reason for using replace as I only want 1 instance (string) of this value.
Example Data    Table1
----------------------------------------------------
| Value1 | Value2       | DATE          | TIME     |
--------------------------------------------------
| 1      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:33:15 |
| 2      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:33:20 |
| 3      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:33:21 |
| 4      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:33:23 |
| 1      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:36:15 |
| 1      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:38:15 |
| 2      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:38:15 |
----------------------------------------------------

Example Data    Table2 Desired Outcome where the value pulled over from table1 is the latest value in the table
----------------------------------------------------
| Value1 | Value2       | DATE          | TIME     |
--------------------------------------------------
| 1      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:38:15 |
| 2      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:38:15 |
| 3      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:33:21 |
| 4      | red          | 01/08/2018    | 10:33:23 |
----------------------------------------------------

CREATE TABLE table1 (

value1 int primary key,
value2 varchar(10),
Date date,
Time time
);

INSERT INTO table1 (value1,value2, Date, Time)
Values (1, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:33:15' ),
(2, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:33:20' );
(3, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:33:21' );
(4, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:33:23' );
(1, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:36:15' );
(1, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:18:15' );
(2, 'red', '2018-08-01', '10:38:15' );

CREATE TABLE table2 (

value1 varchar(10) primary key,
value2 varchar(10),
Date date,
Time time
);

Hopefully i have written those correctly as i normally use workbench to create tables

A: Not an answer; too long for a comment.
Let's start with the only bit of this that presently makes any sense:
INSERT INTO Test (id,present,datetime) VALUES
(1, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:33:15' ),
(2, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:33:20' );
(3, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:33:21' );
(4, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:33:23' );
(1, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:36:15' );
(1, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:18:15' );
(2, 'red', '2018-08-01 10:38:15' );

This data set has no PRIMARY KEY. Before we go any further, it needs one.

A: To find most recent values you can do something like this
SELECT t1.value1, t1.value2, t1.date, t1.time
FROM table1 t1 LEFT JOIN table1 t2
  ON (t1.value1 = t2.value1 AND concat(t1.date,' ',t1.time) < concat(t2.date,' ',t2.time)) WHERE t2.date IS NULL;

AND then use that with your Replace
REPLACE INTO table2 (value1,value2,date,time)
SELECT t1.value1, t1.value2, t1.date, t1.time
    FROM table1 t1 LEFT JOIN table1 t2
      ON (t1.value1 = t2.value1 AND concat(t1.date,' ',t1.time) < concat(t2.date,' ',t2.time)) WHERE t2.date IS NULL;

Who called the Northern Ireland election that nobody wanted?
There are commendable elements in the Government's Brexit strategy�some Government Ministers are actively pursuing initiatives in response to the risks, and official agencies like the IDA (Industrial Development Authority) and Enterprise Ireland are moving well to take advantage of the opportunities. But the positive work is being undermined by a diplomatic fudge emanating most probably from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
Roger Casement was a famous diplomat in the service of the British Foreign Office. He was knighted for his service to the cause of Liberal Britain by exposing the genocidal plunder of "little Belgium" in the Congo Free State which it owned, and the similar activities of international capital in Latin America. He was commended for these humanitarian activities by his friend, the Liberal Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey�who a few years later saw to it that he was hanged.
He was hanged because, when Sir Edward decided on 4th August 1914 to intervene militarily in the European War that had just come about by declaring war on Germany, he declared his support for Germany and tried to assist it.
He declared support for Germany, and described the British declaration of war against it as a "crime against Europe", because he thought that Britain was comprehensively in the wrong. He applied Liberal morality to the situation and acted on the moral judgment that the facts of the matter forced him to.
Martin McGuinness is the IRA man that it is difficult for even the most blinkered Constitutionalist to hate.

Watching Dion Waiters play is not exactly like watching a re-run of "The A-Team." For one thing, there's notably less George Peppard. But in all the ways that watching "The A-Team" is both awesome and excruciating, watching Dion Waiters is actually a lot like watching "The A-Team."
As a television program, the NBA Draft has a certain dorky appeal. But as a live event—one worth schlepping to Newark for, and one that gets away with beers approaching the $10 plateau—it's a different story. Still, there's something to be said for the NBA Draft as a live experience, and not just because lucky attendees get to watch a frazzled Jeff Van Gundy eat crappy pizza.
In which our heroes do their best to work off the emotional and physical hangover of a whirlwind Cleveland premiere for their Cleveland sports tragicomedy, "Our Greatest Year." Also: making people care, turning strangers into non-strangers, and the quest for oreos.
In which our heroes see their Cleveland sports tragicomedy, "Our Greatest Year," through opening night in Cleveland. It's more exciting than "opening night in Cleveland" suggests—thanks in large part to audiences that have learned well to laugh at their own pain.
"Our Greatest Year," a play about Cleveland sports and the misery they bring, enjoyed a well-received 2011 debut in New York City. Now, the collaboration between playwright Robert Attenweiler and artist/animator/writer Scott Henkle, is coming home to Cleveland. The first in a series of production diary entries.
Sports and theater both deliver the drama, but sports theater is barely a thing. Two playwrights who have worked to unite the two discuss how sports and theater can work when done right—and why these two close relatives belong together.

But the City has found a way to survive sustainably: it is run by the energy generated by its Citizens. The energy that citizens create is calculated and displayed on their pulse point, a transmitter embedded in their finger.

The Big Bed
Written by Bunmi Laditan
Illustrated by Tom Knight
Farrrar Straus Giroux
This child is going to be arguing cases before the Supreme Court; that is, before she ends up presiding over it and being appointed Chief Justice. She is confident, articulate and, though very young, she knows what she's after and why she should get it. In this case, it's sleeping with Mom in The Big Bed.
From The Big Bed by Bunmi Laditan, illus. by Tom Knight
With eloquent arguments that she purports to be "reasonable" and filled with positive reinforcement about her father's skills as a wrestler and piggyback-ride giver, the little girl opines about what happens at night. Seems the big bed isn't big enough for herself and her parents, and it's clear who will be leaving. As she's afraid of the dark, and her father still has his own mommy–hence no need to share hers–she recommends a solution that she is sure he will "find not only satisfactory, but also quite generous."
Bunmi Laditan, the blogger behind the very funny "The Honest Toddler" (at http://www.thehonesttoddler.com/), brings her trademark humour to this child's story. Because it is all told from the child's perspective, from sitting her father down, arguing her case, presenting her plan to her mother (who laughs hysterically) and a culminating claim that "Mommy and I just want you to be happy", I feel like this is based on something Mommy Bunmi Laditan has experienced. Everyone knows kids say the darnedest things and this little one does more than just say, she reasons and orates. Supporting that perspective are British artist Tom Knight's illustrations. His artwork, particularly that of the graphics the child herself creates, bolsters the cuteness of a child's perspective and makes The Big Bed as convincing as she is.
I truly hope her father can get some sleep on his new cot.

Ally isn't able to live with her mother. Instead she lives far, far away, on the other side of the country, with her gram and great-aunt. But one summer Ally goes to stay with her aunt and uncle in the "big city by the ocean" and gets to spend time with her mom. While exploring the shore, watching whales from the boat dipping into the salty water, Ally finds out something important: her mother loves to swim as much as she does.
This is a very personal story. Ally is based on the author's niece, Jeanie, and Ally's mother is based on the author's sister, Sarah, who went missing from the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver in 1998. Jeanie is like a seal in the water, and Sarah was just the same, but they never got to swim together. In this story, they do. Swimming with Seals is a story that was written for the thousands of children who long to live with their birth parents and will never fully understand why they can't.

Bat Citizens: Defending the Ninjas of the Night takes the story of bats from tragic ecological stories to empowering children to become global citizens in helping protect this oft-misunderstood animal.
From Bat Citizens: Defending the Ninjas of the Night by Rob Laidlaw
Rob Laidlaw, biologist, animal activist and award-winning author (including of No Shelter Here: Making the World a Kinder Place for Dogs, Pajama Press, 2011 and Cat Champions: Caring for our Feline Friends, Pajama Press, 2013), may be advocating for bats, but he knows the best way to do so is to educate young readers about these animals and dispel erroneous misconceptions first. So, he weaves the book's information about types of bats, their biology, habitats, food, predators, and the numerous challenges to their survival with a look at those who champion their needs.
Rob Laidlaw introduces young people whom he refers to as Bat Citizens who tirelessly advocate for, research on, and provide for bats around the world. There's Christian Spaur in Ohio who championed the installation of bat boxes, and Sarah Corton who has been surveying bats for the dangerous white-nose syndrome and creating lesson plans for teachers. And there's four- and five-year old brother and sister who raised money for the Organization for Bat Conservation by selling hot chocolate. These young people are doing more than their share to help. To that same end, Rob Laidlaw discusses various bat challenges, like white-nose syndrome, disappearing habitat, and human activity, but provides solutions to all, including directing readers how they can help.
The book is well-organized and colourful with numerous photographs on every page. Throughout the book, there are information boxes about "Bat Facts", suggestions of ways to help out in "Batty Ideas" and a comprehensive glossary. The detailed table of contents and index just top off the impressive organization of Bat Citizens: Defending the Ninjas of the Night, making it a strong non-fiction selection for young readers and animal advocates everywhere. And did I mention the cool poster on the reverse of the dust jacket?
I may be reviewing Bat Citizens: Defending the Ninjas of the Night today because of the day's designation but this title is sure to be saved and read and referred to beyond April 17 because it is more than an encyclopedia about bats. It is a book about being a citizen of the animal world, our world, and about celebrating young people who already understand that and have stepped up to defend those whose world we share.

Polly loves words. And she loves writing stories. So when a magic book appears on her doorstep that can make everything she writes happen in real life, Polly is certain all of her dreams are about to come true. But she soon learns that what you write and what you mean are not always the same thing! Funny and touching, this new chapter book series will entertain readers and inspire budding writers.

Written by Susan Hughes
Illustrated by Carey Sookocheff
Carey Sookocheff's understated illustrations may give the impression of a simple story but Susan Hughes' What Happens Next is nothing less than a compelling revelation about the secretive and debilitating nature of bullying and the sharing of an inspired strategy for resolution which begins with empathy.
From What Happens Next by Susan Hughes, illus. by Carey Sookocheff
The story of What Happens Next follows a child who is bullied by another child at school with name-calling ("Weirdo") and hurtful comments and physical acts like blocking their way and shoving at their books. Sadly, there are children who are bystanders who either laugh or ignore the bullying. Even though the child who is bullied has many positives at home like a playful and loving dog and a caring parent, this child carries the burden of the bullying which affects their sleep and behaviour.
Finally the child, encouraged by their love of books and science, feels strong enough to share with Mom what has been going on with Bully B.
What I Say about Bully B. When Mom Comes to Kiss Me Good Night:
What Mom Says:
That I'm brave for telling her.
That she's sorry I feel scared and hurt.
That she'll help.
But it's the mother's intensity of empathetic insight that should be included in every handbook on dealing with bullies.
What Mom Says Next:
That everyone has their own way of looking at things and people. That each person's way of looking is made up of where they're standing and how they got there. It's made up of what's in their mind, what's in their heart, and what's in their imagination.
And with that, Mom shows her child that, by sharing things they like with Bully B., they may be able to help change Bully B.'s way of looking. With courage and some trepidation, and ignoring Bully B.'s habitual meanness, the child tells Bully B. about genomes, water on the Earth's surface and Earth in the orbit around the Sun.
What's Different Now:
Not everything. But enough.
In fact, I'll let you read What Happens Next for yourself to see that enough is pretty darn good.
You'll notice that Susan Hughes' text takes on a form similar to a script with bolded directives and plain-text responses that gives an organic texture to the story. In fact, when the child is being bullied or worried about the bullying, the text is very terse, like punches. When involved with their books and the science within, as well as when Mom shares her insight into bullying, the text is softer, like blankets. Illustrator Carey Sookocheff's artwork reflects this imbalance through her choice of colours and simple lines and shapes. Everything is understated from her limited palette of pale grey and yellow with white, against grey-blue, green and red-orange to her simple scenes at home and playground. But simple here is meaningful, as substantial as a careless case of bullying.
What Happens Next is like nothing I've ever read for opening up discussions about bullying with our youngest readers to those in middle grades. To that end, Owlkids Books has created discussion guides for using the book with children. There is one for Grades 1-3 and one for Grades 4-6 and both are available at the Owlkids Books website. I encourage everyone, from educators and school administrators to parents and child and youth care workers to make What Happens Next a part of their programming to encourage meaningful lessons and dialogue about this perennial issue.

Copies of the illustrations from within What Happens Next were retrieved from Carey Sookocheff's website, specifically at http://careysookocheff.com/what-happens-next/ on April 9, 2018, as they afford clarity of image that my own scans of the book could not.

Wash On!
Written by Michèle Marineau
Illustrated by Manon Gauthier
Translated by Erin Woods
Though most of us wash off any dirt and colours that stain our skin, a little twist of words and fate have colour splotches washing onto little Petronilla in Quebec author and translator Michèle Marineau's newest picture book Wash On!
From Wash On! by Michèle Marineau, illus. by Manon Gauthier
Petronilla is known in her family to have "a talent for chaos" and probably more so when compared to her perfect sister Babette. But nothing could have prepared her mother for the twist of process when colours from the washcloth during a bath begin to transfer to Petronilla's skin and then her mother and the whole bathroom. Joyously, Petronilla continues to exclaim, "Wash on! Wash on! Wash on!' regardless of her mother's demands she say "Wash off!" When her father, Babette and dog come to see what's going on, the colours continue to transfer from one object to another. Although the family thinks they'll just stay in the house until Petronilla drops her new mantra, no one could foresee the weeks that would pass as the child refuses to relinquish her powerful chant.
Finally, the family visits the doctor who declares a case of acute coloritis, a condition so contagious that the whole planet becomes infected. But, as lovely as all the colours are, everything blends in with everything else and no one can differentiate between objects. Even their dog is hard find except when his bark alerts them to his feeding time. That is, until they can not locate him because there is no bark. It is only then, when she is desperate to find their dog, that Petronilla changes her tune and finds "Wash off!" just as useful in enacting change in her home and around the world.
Wash On! may be based on a silly situation in which colours are transferred rather than cleaned off but the story actually has several powerful messages hidden in that imaginative scenario. First, Wash On! focuses on the joie de vivre of a world filled with colour. We all need a little colour in our lives, though some people need more and some need less. But like anything, it is possible to have too much of a good thing, as everyone learns, including Petronilla. Once the colours explode and there is no contrast and no way to differentiate objects, that joy is lost, like the dog, in an overabundance of stain. Splashes of colour are wonderfully invigorating and therapeutic but excesses are debilitating and even harmful. Second, Governor General award-winning author Michèle Marineau recognizes the power of children in defining the world and their need to manage their own circumstances. Her family may think of Petronilla as chaotic but she seems to just want a hand in determining the life she will lead.
Michèle Marineau tells powerful stories in her native French language and this translation by Pajama Press's Erin Woods highlights that poignancy with merriment and spirit. That same boldness is depicted with daring by Manon Gauthier's mixed media illustrations. Manon Gauthier, whose artwork I've raved about in Pajama Press's Elliot (Julie Pearson, 2016), All the World a Poem (Gilles Tibo, 2016), Good Morning, Grumple (Victoria Allenby, 2017) and Middle Bear (Susanna Isern, 2017), continues to do amazing things with gouache, pencil and paper collage, ever different and totally wonderful.
Wash On! may say a lot about living a life in colour but it also reminds us about moderation and having control over the lives we lead. Young readers will laugh at the silliness of the family's situation but we can all learn a lesson or two from Petronilla and her splashy world.

to celebrate her new picture book
My Teacher's Not Here!
Written by Lana Button
Illustrated by Christine Battuz
Saturday April 28, 2018
A Different Drummer Books
513 Locust St.
From publisher Kids Can Press's website:
As soon as she arrives at school, Kitty knows there's trouble. "Smiling Miss Seabrooke should be here to meet me. But my teacher is missing and NOT here to greet me." With no Miss Seabrooke, everyone should be sent home, right? But no! Kitty and her classmates line up as usual and walk into the school building. Kitty's worries build as she wonders how she will get through the day without her teacher. What will she do when her Thermos gets stuck or her jacket won't zip? Miss Seabrooke is the only one who can fix these things. Or is she?
Author Lana Button perfectly captures the fears and uncertainties of a kindergartner dealing with her first substitute teacher. She also models a way to cope, as Kitty steps up to help the substitute --- a "ginormously tall" giraffe named Mr. Omar --- and discovers that sometimes change can be good. Button's playful and lively cadenced rhyming text, together with Christine Battuz's friendly illustrations of a full cast of animal characters at school, make this a terrific picture book for story time. It provides an excellent lead-in to prepare a class for their first substitute, or for a discussion about how it feels when life doesn't go as expected. A celebration of self-discovery and personal development, this book also makes a wonderful choice for character education lessons on kindness, empathy and perseverance. Educators will appreciate the heartfelt depiction of a young child's warm feelings for her teachers.

Siuluk: The Last Tuniq
Written by Nadia Sammurtok
Illustrated by Rob Nix
The Inuit stories about the Tuniit are of a legendary people akin to friendly giants. They were considered to be immensely strong, massive in size and gentle in demeanour. It was not surprising then that Siuluk, a very large man of considerable strength who lived quietly by himself, should be considered the last Tuniq by his Inuit neighbours.
From Siuluk: The Last Tuniq by Nadia Sammurtok, illus. by Rob Nix
When several of the Inuit men taunt Siuluk about his size and strength, he knows they are being mean but he responds with a challenge for them to lift a sheet of rock. Of course, none can lift the massive rock except Siuluk who lifts it with ease and leaves his legacy in a message he carves into the stone.
Though you can read about the Tuniit in Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley's Tuniit: Mysterious Folk of the Arctic (Inhabit Media, 2015) and in How Things Came To Be: Inuit Stories of Creation (Inhabit Media, 2015), Siuluk: The Last Tuniq takes a different perspective on the Tuniit. Nadia Sammurtok tells a very simple story about teasing and differences in which a man finds a straightforward but elegant response to dismiss his intimidators. So while children will learn about Siuluk and his status as the last Tuniq, they will also learn that anyone can be ill-treated by others and still handle that treatment with self-possession and poise. Siuluk, who is given graphic life by American illustrator Rob Nix, could have hurt the men who teased him about his size and strength but instead he demonstrated his brawn in a quiet but impactful manner, and even left a message for generations to come.
The best part of this story is revealed in Nadia Sammurtok's afterword in which she reveals that her father had been told as a child a story about a man purported to be the last of the Tuniit who'd allegedly lived close to Chesterfield Inlet in Nunavut. In fact, there's a photo of her father, Tom Sammurtok, with Siuluk's rock. So it seems that Siuluk: The Last Tuniq, which is also available in Inuktitut, may be a traditional story about the last remaining Tuniq from the oldest community in Nunavut but it's all the more special for the evidence of its veracity and the life lessons it encompasses.

Krista Kim-Bap
Written by Angela Ahn
Everyone wants to fit in. They want to be accepted by their peers and appreciated by their family. And eleven-year-old Krista Kim wants the same. Fortunately she has a best friend, Jason, who is a close as a brother. In fact, he's even better since he appreciates her Korean heritage, especially all the delicious foods, more than Krista's teen sister Tori who strives not to be seen as Korean. Sadly Krista's very Korean grandmother adores Tori and doesn't seem to appreciate Krista's tomboyish ways or her friendship with Jason.
But everything starts to change after a classmate, Madison, invites Krista to her "Red Carpet" birthday party and Grandma takes Krista to a salon for hair, makeup and eye taping (to create the impression of a double lid) and Tori recreates a Korean hanbok for Krista to wear to the event. Soon Krista is eating lunch with Madison and the more popular girls, and Jason, her dear friend who was like a part of the family, is relegated to her background.
Meanwhile, Krista and her classmates are working on family heritage projects and Krista decides to focus on the foods with which she is familiar. But it's her Grandma who makes the kimchi and kimbap and the authentic Korean dishes that she loves. So, Krista asks her Grandma to teach her how to cook.
"This food that all Koreans eat is in our hearts." (pg. 124)
As Krista learns more about her heritage, particularly through its cuisine, she's actually learning more about her grandmother, what it means to be Korean for all her family, and what it means to be a friend.
Angela Ahn takes us into the heart of a second- and third-generation Korean family in Vancouver and gives readers a taste of a culture with which many of us are not familiar. Kids growing up in families such as Krista's will undoubtedly recognize the customs and traditions, the social relationships, and those distinctions that make being Korean different than other cultural heritages. By making Krista's heritage the background for her maturing acceptance of who she is and what friends she wants in her life, Angela Ahn has rolled this middle-grade novel into a special bundle of substance and flavour, not unlike the kimbap she learns to prepare with her grandmother.

Map of World Freeze Events
Interactive Map of Freeze Events
The "freeze" craze started by our Frozen Grand Central mission has now reached 70 cities in 34 countries and 6 continents (come on Antarctica, get with the program!) Agent Piskvor from Prague made a very cool map showing the locations of all the freeze missions. It's a Google Map, so you can interact with it and click through to see the video for each city.
A couple of recent freezes of note include the first freeze in the Middle East:
…and a freeze in Hong Kong where legislators and councilors from the local government participated.
Frozen Hong Kong, Councilors Version
AltijdAndries says:
That's ironic; Antartica being the only continent NOT frozen…
The map of the 'frozen' events peformed in Italy shall be updated: we had a Frozen event in Trieste two weekes ago, on 12.04.08; see the official video here:
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=8U4fOqG03fk
and descripton-photos of the event (in italian) here:
http://www.davidaola.it/2008/04/12/iazadi/
It was performed in the center of Trieste ("piazza Unità d'Italia", the main square) and it involved more than 200 undercover agents (I'm the one repairing the bike). We gave the event the following name: "frozen – iazadi", because 'iazadi' is the translation for the word frozen in the dialect of Trieste. Euro and Guendal are the names of the organizers.
In addition, I've heard of a frozen event in Milano one week ago, video here:
http://enjoythemarket.blogspot.com/2008/04/frozen-milano.html
If there are there other international circuits keeping count of the frozen events, plase inform us so that I give the link to the video.
Ciao and best regards
Paola from Trieste

Here in Brazil a company named Turner Latin America did the freezing thing in a mall…
They said they where inspired by you guys…

Jin says:
hello there, Malaysia also recently did a freeze, having over 1300 people freezing for world earth day
here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nevwq0dd-bM
Wow its amazing how many people are getting involved.
Does anyone have any clue if the MP3 project is happening this year or when it might be?
Charlie Todd says:
Probably sometime late summer or early fall…
BANKY YEUNG says:
a series of freeze events will hold in hk
One more white pin will be added to that map after 2:00 tomorrow afternoon.
(There will be about 150 to 300 people all in a very open, outdoor mall. Should be great.)
I think the mp3 project is happening this year, at least i think i remember reading about it
Nancy, France, also did a freeze, on april the 12th.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x554c5_freeze-nancy-st-seb-12-avril-2008_creation
we did it in a shopping mall but the security guards kicked us out very quickly.

There was a minor freeze at a school in Australia a few weeks ago, hopefully get the video from somewhere.
mr.mrt says:
heres a new video for vienna.
the video shown in the map was just a test for a bigger freeze which can be seen here:
Oh please may the MP3 project happen in late July!!! I'm going to be in New York then. That or may there be some prank being pulled off that I can be a part of!
celerachan says:
please add bangkok, Thailand to your map http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KA3IwRKQZWU
Mo Lai says:
After doing freeze event with the Legislators and Councillors in Hong Kong, we figure out that the mission could also complete with certain themes.
Olympic Games 2008 Beijing is coming.
Before the real game start, the Olympic Torch Relay has aroused people's attention all over the world. Very soon,2nd May 08, the Olympic Torch will arrive Hong Kong . We have organized a freeze on 27th April 2008 as a respond to this event.
But more important is we tried to share our thoughts about "What is sport?" in the Freeze event.
Here are our video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxx8a4MZM48
We hope Olympic Games Beijing 2008 would echoing to our "Freeze Movement" and reflects the fundamental question "What is sport?" while we are waiting for the Olympic Games.
PS We have also written a poem relating to the topic at the end of the video~~
On tonight's episode of Law and Order:SVU they did a freeze in Grand Central Station…
I recently saw an episode of Law and Order: SVU this evening with a similar event played out in Grand Central with a large percentage of the occupants froze in time. Did you guys have any involvement with this or was it purely an idea taken on by the creators of the show?
I thought it was pretty awesome to see something from ImpEv be taken to a higher level like this.
Kimpossible says:
Las Vegas, NV needs to get on the map… we did our first freeze on 4/26/08.
Robin Hak says:
There was one in Eugene, Oregon. (It isn't on the map.)

Beautiful :D I love your work, but the grand central one was still the best
On Feb 28, yesterday, 3000 high school/college kids went to the Roosevelt Field Mall, Long Island and had a 5 minute freeze! The mall cops must of had a heads up some how becasue it was all planned threw facebook and there were a few cops and even some dogs with the cops! The mall cops were screaming at the kids to keep moving but it was just great. No where near as successful as the grand central but it was awesome! everyone cheered at the end which gave it away but having a huge mall scream like that, it was awesome!

Why You're Out of Breath Walking Up Stairs—Even Though You're Fit
Written by Amy Eisinger on October 21, 2015
Why Do Some Runs Feel So Freaking Hard?
You can crush a spin class, run a 5K with ease, and power through weight sessions at the gym. But you still get winded climbing a flight of stairs.
The good news is that's totally normal. "It doesn't mean you're out of shape," says Jordan Syatt, a certified personal trainer and Greatist expert. "You just elevated your heart rate and need more oxygen." Unless you're doing staircase workouts or using the StairMaster religiously, a quick burst of energy can leave you short of breath, says Nieca Goldberg, M.D., a cardiologist and director of the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women's Health at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Climbing a flight of stairs uses more muscles than the simple act of walking, Syatt says. After all, you're essentially doing lunges uphill (and fighting gravity in the process). And a move like that might be slightly more advanced than most people's fitness level, Goldberg says. As any trainer will tell you, once a workout becomes too easy, you need to add intensity if you want to keep seeing progress. At the new level of difficulty, you'll be challenged again.
Another potential culprit? If you're already working out vigorously to train for a strenuous event, like a half or full marathon, getting up a flight of stairs is just contributing to your already heavy workload. Running up 20 stairs, as opposed to running 20 paces on flat land, combines an aerobic activity with a strength activity, says Jason Fitzgerald, a certified track and field coach and Greatist expert. "Even if you're in great shape, that's going to get you out of breath very quickly," Fitzgerald says.
Your Action Plan
"Like anything, you'll get better at it with practice," Fitzgerald says. Syatt suggests incorporating lower-body strength exercises like split squats, lunges, and reverse lunges into your workouts to help mimic the movement of going up stairs.
"Start with your own body weight, then eventually add 15, 30, or even 40 pounds," Syatt says. "When you're walking up the stairs, it'll be a lot easier because you're more conditioned for it."
So go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief—as soon as you get to the top, that is.

Amanda Kopel slams Nicola Sturgeon over claims Frank's Law is 'failing the people it was meant to help'
by Graeme Strachan
December 11 2019, 8.05am Updated: December 11 2019, 1.41pm
Amanda Kopel.
Amanda Kopel has taken aim at First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and accused the Scottish Government of failing to fully deliver on Frank's Law.
Mrs Kopel said people under the age of 65 were still going to their graves paying for personal care because the pledge has not been "properly implemented".
She has sent a letter to Ms Sturgeon expressing her concerns and is calling for a face-to-face meeting.
Mrs Kopel has also asked the SNP leader to stop taking the credit for delivering Frank's Law since it was implemented with cross-party support following a member's bill brought forward by Scottish Conservative MSP Miles Briggs.
Cross-party MSPs join Amanda Kopel a Frank's Law bill is lodged at Holyrood.
"I know Frankie would be horrified to know that although the battle for Frank's Law, the law named after him has been won, the war is still going on," she said.
"Of course I realise that any new system will have teething problems but it should not take six years and eight months to get it right."
Mrs Kopel, from Kirriemuir, led the Frank's Law campaign, backed by The Courier, to abolish care charges for under-65s with debilitating conditions following the death of her husband – Dundee United legend Frank – in 2014 after a battle with dementia.
The legislation came into force in April.
Amanda and Frank Kopel.
Mrs Kopel recently called for the new rules to be properly and fairly put in place after highlighting fears of a developing "postcode lottery".
She put a series of questions to Ms Sturgeon including asking how South Ayrshire Council was allowed to use funding set aside for Frank's Law to cover a deficit.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
"The crux of the matter is that a law which is now passed in Scotland is failing the people it was meant to help," she said.
"It is still a long way off from working properly."
Scottish Conservative health spokesman Miles Briggs, said: "It was a hard fought battle to get SNP Ministers to agree to Frank's Law in the first place and although it has been passed on the ground the SNP are failing to deliver.
"SNP Ministers dragged their feet legislating for free personal care for under 65s and now they are failing to ensure that it is available to everyone under 65 who urgently needs personal care."
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: "We have put in place the changes in the law that are needed to guarantee this right, and backed this with substantial investment to health and social care partnerships so it can be delivered even with potentially substantial increases in the numbers of people who are eligible.
"Overall, this funding package is subject to a set of conditions agreed within the local government finance settlement. Local authorities have a statutory responsibility to ensure that personal care is no longer charged to the individual.
"This is the first year of the extension of free personal care to under 65s, and we are working closely with partnerships and COSLA to monitor the costs and funding of this. The Scottish Government is happy to continue to engage with Mrs Kopel and will respond to her letter in due course."

Apocalyptic Between Philosophy and Theology (With Bonus Agamben Content) — Apocalyptic Political Theology Book Event
Wednesday, July 15, 2020 Friday, July 17, 2020 ~ Adam Kotsko
One of the things that most interests me about Tommy Lynch's remarkable book is his unique approach to political theology. As I often complain, practitioners in this field seldom clearly define their methodology, such that "political theology" can be taken to embrace both politically-engaged theology and the often, but not exclusively, genealogical studies of the interface between political and theological concepts in a particular historical era or tradition. With all due respect to politically-engaged theology—or, as we might more efficiently call it, theology—I view the more genealogical version as normative for the discipline and believe it is confusing and counterproductive to lump such studies together with more confessional or constructive theological work that wears its political commitments on its sleeve. I was relieved to find that Lynch shares my more "narrow" vision of what political theology is, at one point defining the field as follows:
political theology is a methodology focused on the relationship between political and theological concepts. It seeks to understand the political history and significance of theological ideas, the theological history and significance of political ideas and to use theological ideas to explore the nature of the political. (7)
In my work, I narrow the definition even further to specify that the root of the relationship between theological and political categories is their shared confrontation with the problem of legitimacy, but Lynch's definition here would include my understanding of what I am trying to do in my political-theological investigations.
More puzzling to me is a second definition of political theology, which appears to have more direct bearing on Lynch's understanding of his own project here: "Political theology, in the narrow sense, is a method of philosophical thinking that uses theological concepts to critique the world" (35). We can say that this is a further specification of his initial, broad definition, akin to my more narrow focus on legitimacy. But it is a specification that raises any number of important questions. What is philosophy as opposed to theology? Why should philosophy need to draw on theological concepts to carry out its work of critique? And why should we view such philosophical usage of theological concepts as constituting its own distinct field of inquiry? I want to tease out some of Lynch's implicit answers to these questions by putting his work into dialogue with the contemporary philosopher who has arguably spent the most time and effort using theological concepts to critique the world: Giorgio Agamben.
The sheer amount of attention he devotes to theology is especially remarkable when we realize that he never seems to adopt a "theological" position of his own. In contrast to a thinker like Jean-Luc Marion, whose phenomenological investigation of theological categories ultimately crosses into the territory of confessional theology, Agamben remains resolutely philosophical and critical in outlook. Even if there are figures or movements in the Christian theological tradition he especially values—like Paul or the Franciscans—he never treats them as uniquely authoritative. Indeed, what he values most about them is precisely the ways they can be brought into productive dialogue with more overtly philosophical or political texts.
In short, I think we can say that Agamben treats theological materials in a philosophical way. To get at what I mean by that, I would propose the following rough-and-ready distinction between these two intertwined fields: where philosophy seeks truths that are perennial in the sense of being available in principle to any thinking subject, theology seeks to elaborate the implications of a particular historical revelation. Reading theological materials from a philosophical perspective would therefore mean reading them as though they were aiming at philosophy's perennial truths, and that is precisely what Agamben does. Paul, in his view, is not an apocalyptic thinker in the sense of expecting some particular concrete sequence of events that brings the world to an end, but rather a messianic thinker whose letters tell us all kinds of interesting things about the structure of time and history. At times Agamben's anti-apocalyptic reading can strain credulity, as when he claims that the vision of the katechon in 2 Thessalonians is ultimately about the dynamics of history rather than relaying a symbolic account of purported future events. As illuminating as Agamben's reading of Paul might be, then, it does represent a form of interpretative violence, because Paul actually is an apocalyptic thinker, who believes in fact that the apocalyptic sequence has already been set in motion by the concrete historical death and resurrection of a concrete historical messiah named Jesus of Nazareth. Whatever messianic insights we can draw out of Paul's texts for our own philosophical use, surely it makes a difference that he developed his ideas in an attempt to remain loyal to a particular messiah, who Paul believed had entrusted him with a particular mission.
Unlike Agamben, Lynch maintains the term "apocalyptic," and indeed insists upon it in opposition to recent work in the field that "has focused on the eschatological or messianic, often defined against apocalypticism" (32). As far as I can tell, Lynch does not explicitly define either the eschatological or the messianic or specify their relation to apocalyptic, but the general drift of the distinction is clear enough. Eschatology or messianism, in his view, concede too much continuity with the world as it is, whereas apocalyptic is an absolute refusal of the world. Such a stance, he believes, is attainable apart from a theological perspective that specifies a particular agent (namely God—or more than that, the particular historical God identified as the Father of Jesus Christ) and promises a particular replacement (however vague). And though Hegel takes up most of the airtime in the book itself, the real source of this fundamental insight is Taubes, who famously declared that unlike Carl Schmitt, he lacks spiritual investment in the world and is happy to see it all come down.
I have questions about whether it is really accurate to see Taubes's apocalypticism as philosophical rather than theological, but I will leave that aside for now. My bigger concern is what this philosophical apocalypticism really means—and what critical purchase it has. I will observe, first of all, that Lynch's apocalypticism really is philosophical in my sense of getting at perennial concerns. Though he goes to great lengths in the first chapter to establish the unacceptability of the current world-situation—an assessment I share!—Lynch does not give us any reason to believe that any other possible world would be less founded on antagonisms (albeit presumably different ones). In fact, he refuses in principle to offer an account of how any future world would be different, much less better. His philosophical apocalypticism simply asserts that the world as it is is unacceptable and deserves to end—full stop. Or at least that seems to be his "official" position. But in practice, he does gesture toward the necessity of another world arising to replace what we now know. The apocalypse he demands "is the end of the world. Or rather it is the ending of a world, but a world which can only appear as the world" (125).
Yet insofar as the philosophical apocalypticist is aware of that illusion, has she not in principle overcome it, thus undermining her very apocalypticism? This is a very Hegelian point—to perceive a boundary is already to be across it. And it seems related to another very Hegelian point (or at least a point that can be drawn from the particular strain of Hegelian interpretation that Lynch is drawing from), which is that every society is founded on irreducible antagonisms. Hence every world is going to be "unacceptable" in the last analysis, if antagonism is what prompts the apocalyptic refusal. Ours may be particularly "unacceptable"—as illustrated, perhaps, by the fact that he can draw on not one but two philosophically apocalyptic accounts of what is unfixably wrong with it (Wilderson and Edelman, whose stances appear, at least initially, to be incompatible). But making that judgment seems to require comparing possible worlds, which Lynch's philosophical apocalypticism purports to foreclose as irrelevant.
The question I would ask in conclusion, then, is whether apocalyptic is so irreducibly theological—so unextractable from the context of historical revelation and expectation—that any attempted philosophical appropriation of apocalyptic qua apocalyptic is bound to fail. That would mean that Agamben is right, from his perspective as a philosopher who wants to make use of Paul, to reject the (historically true) idea that Paul is an apocalyptic thinker. And it may also mean that, contrary to his intentions, Lynch is actually offering a variation on the theme of messianism or eschatology and not a genuinely apocalyptic position. That, at least, is the provocation with which I would like to repay Tommy's very thought provoking book.
