College Initiative Evaluation: Request for Proposals
The Prisoner Reentry Institute (PRI) is soliciting proposals from prospective evaluation vendors to conduct a process and outcome evaluation of its College Initiative (CI) program. Findings will enable CI staff to better serve its students, gain a clearer understanding of students' outcomes by student subgroups, and share valuable lessons learned about our program with other direct service, higher-education reentry organizations.
Located at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, PRI's mission is to better understand what it takes for people to live successfully in their communities after involvement with the criminal justice system. A critical component of PRI's work is creating access to higher education for people who have been involved in the criminal justice system, including incarceration. This commitment is pursued through the CI program.
Numerous reentry programs and services are available to assist individuals as they return home to their communities, but these programs tend to address the more pressing needs of housing, employment, and health and health care. Fewer programs exist to serve the longer-term higher education needs of individuals, but evidence is pointing to post-secondary education services as a viable reentry strategy.[1],[2],[3] We believe the time is ripe to evaluate the CI program, as New York and other jurisdictions are seeking to improve access to college for people who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education.
Program Overview: College Initiative
PRI's College Initiative (CI) program is designed to create pathways to college and beyond by providing a safe, mutually-supporting community. The CI staff deliver a suite of community-based services assisting people who have been involved in the criminal justice system to enroll in, and graduate from, college. People are eligible to participate in the CI program if they: 1) have had involvement in the criminal justice system, 2) have a high school diploma or equivalency, and 3) plan to attend college in the New York City metropolitan area.
Prospective students travel along different pathways before joining the CI program. For example:
Some CI students took college courses while they were incarcerated, either in PRI's other direct-service higher-education program (Prison-to-College Pipeline) or another college program inside New York State correctional facilities, and are looking to resume their college studies in the community.
Some CI students were referred to the CI program from other community-based organizations, particularly reentry organizations that support people who are returning to their communities.
Some CI students find their way to the CI program through word of mouth from other CI students.
CI's services operate in two major phases: 1) college pre-enrollment and 2) college enrollment and retention.
During the college pre-enrollment phase, CI staff:
Organize outreach sessions in correctional facilities and the community to raise awareness about college and dispel myths about attending college and obtaining financial aid among people who have a history of criminal justice involvement;
Conduct one-on-one consultation sessions with prospective students to discuss academic and career goals;
Lead group orientation sessions to provide information about local colleges, types of academic degrees, and financial aid options; and
Assign a CI academic counselor to each prospective student to prepare individual enrollment plans, such as submitting college applications and financial aid forms; providing referrals for academic and social service needs (housing, employment); assembling needed documentation; and addressing barriers to enrollment (diploma, GEDs, transcripts, immunization records, meeting selective service requirements, etc.).
After students are accepted into college, CI staff maintain their relationship with them during the enrollment and retention phase by:
Providing ongoing one-on-one check-ins with students, as needed, during each semester, and providing academic referrals (e.g., campus-based programs such as CUNY's Black Male Initiative or Accelerated Study in Associate Programs) and non-academic referrals, as needed (e.g., housing, health, employment);
Offering peer mentoring services for first-year students who are interested in being paired with senior CI college students, where mentor-mentee pairings meet at least four times per semester, especially during the mentee's critical academic milestones (such as beginning of semester, mid-terms, finals, and end of semester) for the mentee's first year; and
Convening skills-based workshops (such as resume writing, applying to graduate school) and hosting community networking events where CI students are able to meet other CI students and build their social and professional networks.
The CI program began in 2002 and has been housed within a handful of local agencies over the years, including The Fortune Society. In 2015, CI became a program within PRI's Educational Initiatives. To learn more about the CI program, including its history, please visit PRI's website (www.johnjaypri.org).
While PRI is located at John Jay College, our CI program serves students interested in enrolling in any college in New York City. To date, CI has helped more than 1,400 New Yorkers enroll in college, and more than 300 have graduated. CI is currently serving over 300 students across 20 different CUNY campuses, and at a number of SUNY and private colleges. We feel our program, compared with other college access programs, is unique for a number of reasons, and not solely because we work with students who were formerly incarcerated. The CI program is designed to allow students to determine their own academic goals, and we do not require students to pursue one type of degree, such as a Bachelor's degree. Most CI students pursue an Associate's degree, yet other students are working towards either a Bachelor's or advanced degree. More than one-quarter of CI students have earned multiple degrees, such as an Associate's degree and then a Bachelor's degree. As noted earlier, some CI students join the CI program having already accumulated college credits (either while they were incarcerated or prior to their incarceration/criminal justice involvement). Therefore, some of our CI students may need only a couple of semesters (or a couple of credits) to earn their degree. Given these factors, there is no average length of time to graduation among our students.
The CI program is in the midst of tremendous growth in a number of ways, as we recently expanded the number of staff and have ramped up our outreach activities. Additionally, we recently launched a new College Readiness program to work with people who are incarcerated at a local New York City jail. During their incarceration, College Readiness students learn about college and the college application process, participate in a 10-session course that prepares them to take the reading and writing portion of the CUNY Assessment Test, which is required for admission to any CUNY college. At the end of this course, students take the CUNY Assessment Test (while still incarcerated). As they are preparing to leave jail and return to their community, CI staff meet with them and invite them to reach out to the CI program when they are ready to apply to college. At that point, the College Readiness students will receive all of the same support services as any other CI student.
CI staff collect a variety of qualitative and quantitative data, including:
Assessment/Intake
High School Diploma or High School Equivalency
Housing status/Living situation
Parental status/Primary caretaker
Qualitative information about contact with prospective students/current students, including referral needs
Mentor-mentee matches
Semester enrollment
CUNY's Office of Institutional Research (OIR):
Term(s) enrolled
Campus where enrolled
GPA/cumulative GPA
Credits/cumulative credits
Graduation degree (Associate, Bachelor, Master, Professional, etc.)
Please note that CI staff are able to obtain CUNY's OIR data for CI students only. Data, however, are at least 2 semesters behind the calendar.
Task Overview
PRI seeks a vendor to design and conduct a mixed-methods evaluation of the College Initiative (CI) program, focusing on its implementation (process) and benefits (outcomes).
Process Evaluation
We are interested in assessing the quality of our: (1) programmatic implementation, particularly how, how often, and to whom our services are being delivered; and (2) relationships with New York State and New York City departments of correction, other college programs taking place inside correctional facilities across the state, CUNY's Central office, CUNY colleges, and external organizations (e.g., Fortune Society, Osborne Association) to serve our students. While not exhaustive, the following list provides examples of the types of questions we are interested in having a process evaluation answer. By answering these questions, we will have a better understanding of our program's strengths and areas for improvement.
To what extent is the CI program implemented as planned?
Where are the successes and challenges in our program delivery model?
Are we properly staffed to complete programmatic activities and meet prospective student (pre-enrollment phase) and student (enrollment and retention phase) demands?
Where, and why, do we experience prospective student attrition in the pre-enrollment phase and student attrition in the enrollment and retention phase?
What are the primary barriers prospective students experience in continuing with the college application process and what are the primary barriers currently-enrolled students experience in remaining enrolled?
How do prospective CI students, currently-enrolled CI students, and CI alumni describe their experiences with the CI program? What do/did they like about the program and what, if any, changes would they suggest? To what degree do/did they feel prepared to enroll in college?
Because some individuals come to the CI program having already earned college credits, are their experiences in the CI program different from those who come to the CI program without any college credits? If so, how and why?
To what degree are CI staff creating systems-level change by leveraging partnerships with higher education institutions (i.e., CUNY Central Office and CUNY and SUNY colleges), reentry organizations (i.e., Fortune Society, Osborne Association), and correctional partners throughout New York City (Department of Corrections) and New York State (Department of Corrections and Community Supervision)?
Please note that we have recently begun systematically tracking student attrition. As expected, there are challenges in reaching some of those students with whom we have lost contact, especially those who are in the early stages of the application process. Evaluation applicants will need to develop a follow-up strategy for reaching out to a sample of CI students we have lost through attrition.
Outcome Evaluation
In addition to assessing the quality of our programmatic implementation, we are also interested in measuring outcomes among CI students. We are interested in prospective vendor's suggestions for including a comparison group, if appropriate, to assess program outcomes. While not exhaustive, the following list provides examples of the types of programmatic outcomes we are interested in having assessed:
What percentage of CI students persist from one semester to the next semester?
What percentage of incoming students persist from their first to second semester?
What percentage of continuing students persist from semester to semester?
What percentage of CI students drop out of college and why?
If CI students drop out, are they more likely to drop out early in their schooling or later in their schooling?
If CI students drop out, are they more likely to drop out in an Associate's, Bachelor's, or advanced degree program?
Are there differences in academic outcomes (GPA, semester persistence, and time to graduation) when comparing incoming CI students who participate in the peer mentoring program compared with those incoming CI students who do not participate in the peer mentoring program?
What types of opportunities do CI graduates explore post-graduation?
What percentage of CI graduates go on to earn another degree?
What percentage of CI graduates are employed? What percentage are employed within their chosen field? What is the median length of time to find employment in their chosen field after graduation? What percentage are employed full-time and part-time?
Have CI graduates experienced barriers after graduation in obtaining full-time employment? If so, what are those barriers?
Please note that we do not collect information about CI students after graduation. Evaluation applicants will need to develop a follow-up strategy for reaching out to a sample of CI college graduates to gather data to answer these questions.
In addition to examining these academic and post-academic outcomes, we are interested in understanding whether there is variation among CI student subgroups, such as:
Socio-demographic Characteristics:
Are there differences in CI student academic outcomes by age, employment status, homelessness, and family responsibilities?
Are there differences in CI student academic outcomes depending on whether they have a high school diploma (HSD) or high school equivalency (HSE)?
Are there differences in CI student academic outcomes depending on whether they were enrolled in a college program while incarcerated or did not take any college classes while incarcerated?
Criminal Justice Status:
Are there differences in CI student academic outcomes depending on their prior criminal justice history?
Note: We anticipate a variety of methodological approaches will be necessary to answer these questions during the evaluation, and we are interested in prospective vendors' proposed approach(es) to answer these questions. Additionally, prospective vendors are permitted to subcontract with another research/evaluation vendor when submitting a proposal. This information should be clearly noted in the proposal, including which organization's staff is completing which task. We will work with the selected vendor in accessing our administrative data. We do not, however, collect data needed to answer post-graduation employment, and the evaluation vendor will be responsible for collecting and analyzing such additional data. The cost of any additional data collection, and participant incentives, should be incorporated into the budget and explained in the budget narrative.
Timing and Pricing
We anticipate this evaluation will take approximately 24 months to complete, which includes planning, and will not exceed $350,000.
The selected evaluation vendor will be expected to provide the following services and deliverables:
Review and assess PRI administrative data.
Finalize evaluation plan with PRI/CI staff.
Develop research study consent forms, instruments, and protocols for data collection.
Obtain IRB approval or waiver.
Conduct literature review of existing higher-education programs working with people who have a criminal justice history.
Collect, where necessary, and analyze qualitative and quantitative program-level and student-level data.
Review and provide recommendations, if necessary, to logic model.
Prepare a draft report for preliminary review and questions.
Prepare a final report for public dissemination synthesizing findings, highlighting program implementation strengths and challenges and programmatic outcomes, and providing recommendations for program enhancements.
Note: PRI expects an ongoing, open dialogue with the selected evaluation vendor, from the early stages of finalizing the evaluation plan and collecting data to the later stages of analyzing the data and interpreting the findings. Dialogue may be in the form of conference calls and/or in-person meetings to share updates and preliminary research findings, thereby creating a frequent feedback loop among the evaluator, PRI and CI staff, CI students/alumni, and a small advisory committee, including other researchers.

How to Increase GFR for Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Through Using Chinese Medicine?
At the beginning, I want to ask you, how much you know about GFR. You should know this term clearly and it is beneficial for the treatment of kidney failure. So, how to increase GFR for stage 4 chronic kidney disease patients? Reading the following article, you will find the answer.
The stages of chronic kidney disease are determined by the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood, removing excess wastes and fluids. Glomerular filtration rate is a calculation that determines how the bloodies well filtered by the kidneys. It is one way to measure kidney function.
Chronic kidney disease is defined as either kidney damage or GFR of less than 60 for longer than 3 months.
As for stage 4 CKD, it means that GFR less than 30%, even more serious. So, timely treatment is necessary and important for the patients. In this stage, the kidney is damaged more serious and there must be lots of harmful products in blood and kidney intrinsic cells. Therefore, we take toxin-removing therapy to clear the toxins and wastes in the body, provide good environment for repairing kidney function and create favorable condition for the further medication. Toxin-removing therapy contains Chinese herbal medicines which have 5000 years' history and have no side effects to the patients.
Once the part of damaged kidney repairing, kidney function will recover correspondingly, and improve the kidney environment. Therefore, GFR will also increase naturally.
If you are interested in our toxin-removing therapy, please feel free to leave message to our online experts. We will reply you as soon as possible.

Rushdie-headlined Global Atheist Convention cancelled
The Atheist Foundation of Australia (AFA) has cancelled the 2018 Global Atheist Convention, which was set to run from 9-11 February at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, due to poor ticket sales.
As previously reported by Books+Publishing, UK author Salman Rushdie was to headline the convention. Other international guests included UK author Richard Dawkins, UK science writer Ben Goldacre, UK comedian and broadcaster Robin Ince, US authors Annie Laurie Gaylor and Greta Christina, and US author and former evangelical preacher Dan Barker.
In a statement on its website, AFA said ticket sales were 'substantially below expectations and below the levels for previous conventions'. The organisation had secured Victorian government funding for the event.
The AFA said it will refund tickets, but added that it is 'working through the costs of cancellation and to confirm its overall financial position, so it may take some time before any refunds can be processed'.

In this scenario we will install the prerequisites for Rancher server, then install Rancher server on the node.
That Rancher server will then be used to create a single node Kubernetes cluster on another node.
Docker installation can vary based on distribution. Rancher has a repository with scripts, which in many distributions can identify the distribution and install Docker according to that distribution's best practices.
To install docker using the latest version of Docker 18.09 you can run this script.
The default ubuntu image in katacoda contains Docker. We can skip this step. Click Continue.
Rancher can run as a single node installation or highly available inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
In this scenario we're using the single node installation method.
Now that docker is installed, we can run rancher.
Next, we'll be provisioning a Kubernetes Cluster.
Rancher is now running, you can access it by clicking the Rancher tab.
Follow along with the class as we'll be using the node-01 server to function as a standalone Kubernetes server.

Q: Implicit change of path of contour integral I want to compute a contour integral say: $\oint_{C_z} \frac{dz}{S(z)-a}$ or $\oint_{C_z} g(S(z))\,dz$. The problem is that I don't have an explicit form for S(z); rather I have the implicit equation $z=f(S)$. $f(S)$ turns out to be a multivalued function with branch cuts (in my case $f(S)$ involves arctan and square roots). I wanted to calculate the integral instead as:
$\oint_{C_S} g(S(z))\frac{\partial z}{\partial S} \,dS $
since it seems much simpler (and actually doable).
Questions: How limited is the implicit function theorem in this case?Are there any theorems on how the path should be mapped? How do I deal with branch cuts that possibly arise on the path? Can the integral be computed without explicitly knowing the path in $S$ coordinates?
EDIT: As pointed out below, the question boils down to whether the contour in $S$ is closed (or how to make it a closed one) and how to apply the residue theorem (or whether it is possible or not).

A: There are a couple of issues here. When you know the path $C_S$ in $S$ space, say parametrized as $S(t)$, $0\leq t\leq 1$ then $z(t)=f(S(t))$ and $dz=f'(S(t))S'(t)dt$ so you may insert in e.g. your first contour integral to get
$$ \oint_{C_z} \frac{dz}{S(z)-a}= \int_0^1 \frac{f'(S(t)) S'(t) dt}{S(t) -a} = \int_{C_S} \frac{f'(S)dS}{S-a}$$ where $C_S$ is the path in $S$-space. When $f$ is 'multi-valued' I suspect that $C_S$ need  not be closed (even though your contour $C_z$ is). So be careful if you want to apply e.g. a residue theorem. Due to singularities the integral in $S$ form may also pick up residues when changing contour so it is likely necessary to know more about the contour than just the end-points, say.
There should be no branch cuts on the contours so you will also need to do analytic continuation along the path (like e.g. the logarithmic 'spiral' if you want to integrate $\log z$ when winding around zero [no cut!]).
As long as derivatives are bounded away from zero and infinity I don't think you have to worry about the implicit function theorem?

GK IMPACT | KU notifies PhD entrance test dates
Kashmir UniversityFile/ GK
Syed Rizwan Geelani
28 Nov, 2022, 7:44 pm
Srinagar: Two days after Greater Kashmir reported about the inordinate delay on part of the University of Kashmir (KU) to hold the PhD entrance, the varsity Monday notified the dates for the PhD examination, much to the relief of the applicants.
Greater Kashmir in its November 27 issue reported about the delay of six months by KU to complete the admission process for the PhD candidates.
As per the notification issued by the Directorate of Admissions and Competitive Examinations, the candidates who have deposited the entrance fee have been informed that the entrance test would be held on December 15 from 11 am at the main campus of the university.
"The admit cards of the candidates for the entrance test will be available on the university website from December 7," the notification reads.
Earlier, the aggrieved PhD candidates had complained that the entrance forms were submitted in May this year while entrance dates were yet to be notified by the varsity authorities.
The candidates had complained that the Directorate of Admissions and Competitive Examinations was delaying the process for reasons unknown.
Director of the Directorate of Admissions and Competitive Examinations, KU, Prof Muhammad Farooq Mir had assured that dates for the PhD entrance would be notified within a week.
He had attributed the delay in receiving the requisite data from the Dean Research Department and claimed that the printing of some confidential material by the Dean Research Department was time consuming.
Following the issuance of the notification for PhD entrance, the students have expressed their happiness saying that the move had brought a sigh of relief to them.

The Indiana Gaming Commission reported casino earnings of $203.9 million for the month of December, with a strong recovery in slot revenue propelling the Hoosier State above the $200 million mark to close out 2022.
The total was a 3.9% increase from November's profit of $196.2 million — the first time it has fallen below $200 million since June. Slots revenue for the final month of the year was just over $165 million, up 6.5%, as 11 of the state's 12 casinos and racinos reported profits month-over-month. They also absorbed a 5.8% month-on-month decline in table game revenue as house winnings on the Felt totaled $38.9 million.
Free play totaled $12.5 million that month, up half a million dollars from November. The state was able to collect taxes on nearly $187.2 million in adjusted revenue, up 1.5% from November.
Sports betting taxes totaled $50.3 million, with an additional $4.1 million collected through surcharges. The $54.3 million in Indiana casino taxes does not include the more than $4 million generated by the state sportsbook, which reported $42.7 million in operator revenue.
A busy month for slot machines
Five locations in Indiana recorded a win of more than $1 million in slot totals month-over-month. While Horseshoe Indianapolis wasn't among that quintet, the Racino's $24.1 million was enough to overtake Hard Rock Northern Indiana for the top spot in the discipline, as they averaged the best $15,497 per position.
Caesars Southern Indiana generated $2 million more in slot revenue compared to November, totaling nearly $16.3 million as average revenue per position increased 13.9% to $15,384. Hard Rock was the only other venue to surpass $20 million in slot revenue, posting $23.6 million, a 0.7% month-over-month increase. Horseshoe Hammond came in at about $25,000, down from $20 million, although that was still enough for a 4.1% increase from November.
The only venue to see a month-on-month drop in slot revenue was Belterra, but the Florence location's drop was just $20,000 as it added more than $6.3 million for the second straight month brought in profits.
Hard Rock continues to dominate the table game scene
Hard Rock, which topped all venues with total earnings of $33.8 million, generated $10.3 million of that from its table games. It was again the only venue to hit eight figures for the fourth straight month — despite December's total being down 15.3% from November's $12.1 million.
A significant part of Hard Rock's table revenue drop can be attributed to better player performance at Baccarat. While the November table decline actually increased by nearly half a million dollars to $25.2 million, again averaging more than $1 million per table, revenue fell 31.4% to $4.2 million.
Hard Rock wasn't the only other venue with a steep month-over-month decline, as Horseshoe Hammond tumbled 13.4% to finish $1 million down from November. Baccarat revenue was down 30%, but Craps Rollers also came into play as revenue of $650,000 was down 34.5% from the previous month.
Caesars Southern Indiana fell below $5 million for the first time since September as revenue fell 9.9% to $4.8 million. The drop in baccarat earnings in Elizabeth was also pronounced, plunging 60% to $525,000 as the handle also fell 20.8%.
However, six venues reported higher revenue compared to November. The biggest jump came at Belterra, where sales nearly doubled to $1.6 million. Of that, $1.4 million came from blackjack and craps, compared to $560,000 from table games combined the previous month.
Harrah's Hoosier Park also rallied, returning to over $2 million, a 26.1% improvement, as all five table games on offer increased month-on-month. House poker earnings increased 66% to $450,000 and baccarat winnings increased 60% to $290,000.

MRI may not be the "Gold standard" it was once thought to be. One study linked early MRI to an 8x increased rate of spine surgery (2).
Should we stop MRI completely for back pain? No,BUT people do need to be educated that MRI results are not the "end-all-be-all" for diagnosis, management, and prognosis. "Conservative" care, including physical therapy, needs to be trialed first before surgery is considered in most cases. The average outcomes are better with guideline adherent care and early physical therapy costs the healthcare system less money (3,4).
Should surgery be an option? Yes! But only after good faith efforts in PT, & appropriate medical management.

Q: What is the difference between these two falling rope motion? Here are two falling rope problems in Marion's Classical Dynamics Textbook and both equations of motion given by manual solution.
(There is a typo in the third line of solution 9.15, one of the terms of velocity derivative should be time derivative of mass.)
Suggested by solution below, in Problem 9.15, the moving part will only be the falling part, and in Problem 9.21, the entire rope is moving. By these two different set up, there will be energy lost in 9.15 and no energy lost in 9.21.
However, I can't find out the difference of these two kinds of motion. I firstly solve both of them by energy conservation, then, my friend gives an explanation which 9.15s is affected by the tension force which is non-conservative force and gives the result of energy lost, but I thought 9.21s should be also.
Where does the 9.15s energy goes and why does the 9.21s doesn't lost energy?
Is it affected by the shape of the rope or the length of the rope? If affected by shape, the initial shape should be a control factor (such as a curly rope) respect to the final result, seems not reasonable.
I really need some clues, thanks.

A: In 9.15 only the part of the rope below the table is accelerating, so the equation of motion is
$m g = m \dot v + \dot mv$
where $m(t)=\sigma x$ is the mass of the rope below the table at time $t$.
In 9.21 the whole rope is accelerating, so the equation of motion is
$mg = M \dot v$
where $m(t) = \frac {Mx} L$ is the mass of the rope below the table at time $t$ and $M$ is the mass of the whole rope. Since $M$ is constant we do not need an $\dot Mv$ term here.
Energy is lost to the environment in 9.15 because of friction between the rope and the table and between different parts of the coiled rope. There is no friction in 9.21.

Q: My Own Map server, Making my maps look like Mapbox streets or Skobbler I want to make my own map server
However, I need to find the right style
The OSM style is pretty ugly, I really like the Skobbler maps http://maps.skobbler.com/ or Mapbox streets
I basically want to copy these designs and have my maps look the same
Are these styles publically available? does anyone have a link or method for obtaining them?
Is it as simple as downloading mapbox studio, selecting the Mapbox street template and exporting the styles and giving to the guy who is creating WMS ?

A: If you're using CartoCSS to style your maps, you can find lots of open stylesheets online, including Mapbox Streets. There are a few other examples listed Maptime's Lessons and Resources page.
How you apply the stylesheet to your map will depend on what tools and data you'll be using for the final product, but you can always take a look at how the above styles are structured by opening up their .tm2 folders and looking at the CartoCSS.

As a teenager, she was part of professional choirs and participated in events such as the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm, while at the same time being the lead singer in a P-Funk band for which she wrote her first songs. Some years later, while completing successfully her studies as a music teacher, she met the Wrong Steps crew and started collaborating as song-writer, arranger, vocalist and keyboard player with Spiro Projecto, Martinez, Pawel Kobak. This led her to have some releases with names like Jori Hulkkonen or Dan Curtin.
Lately Alvina has been recording songs with Hakan Lidbo, Raph Dumas, Alton Miller, and released instrumental deep tech-house tracks together with Manuel Perez for labels like Ooze, Trenton, Lace or Nice & Nasty.


ZIZ News…April 02, 2010 – The Early Childhood Development Unit is conducting a series of Training Workshops for all of its teachers. The Early Childhood Co-ordinator Mrs Vanta Walters explained that the major objective of these workshops is to address the weaknesses identified in the implementation of the Early Childhood High/Scope Curriculum.
The supervisors and teachers of the government centres have already been trained in a series of three half day workshops. The next round of training which is to be held in May will target teachers from both public and private preschools in Nevis. This will then be followed by training of supervisors and teachers in the private centres in St Kitts.
The two Resource Teachers who are conducting the workshop – Mrs Valerie Dolphin and Mrs Rosalind Warner-Otto informed that those receiving the training are exhibiting a better appreciation and understanding of the High/Scope Curriculum.
The participants involved expressed gratitude for this training and told ZIZ News that the concepts and techniques of the Curriculum have been made much clearer to them. They further stated that the workshops are timely and have enabled them to execute their duties more effectively as they endeavour to meet the holistic developmental needs of the children in their care.

After racist 'Star Wars' fans reportedly drove Kelly Marie Tran from Instagram, Disney needs to respond
Opinion: Obviously, the vast majority of "Star Wars" fans are not abusive trolls. But it only takes a vocal minority to ruin the brand.

When Disney purchased Lucasfilm back in 2012, it didn't realize exactly what it was getting in terms of fandom. In Disney's eyes, it was simply reviving a known and beloved property at the perfect time. With some updated storytelling and a newly diverse cast of characters, the mass-market potential was endless. Having made back its $4 billion dollar investment by the end of 2017, it's clear Disney was correct about the franchise's money-making potential. But on the subject of diversity, Disney did not take into account the whims of a toxic and abusive fan community.
This week, it was reported that "The Last Jedi" star Kelly Marie Tran deleted her Instagram account after months of abusive comments. Though it remains unclear exactly what drove Tran's decision to leave the platform, she did delete every last picture. Meanwhile, the response by some white male fans so far suggests she was indeed the target of sustained harassment.
On social media a few unhealthy people can cast a big shadow on the wall, but over the past 4 years I've met lots of real fellow SW fans. We like & dislike stuff but we do it with humor, love & respect. We're the VAST majority, we're having fun & doing just fine. https://t.co/yhcShg5vdJ

The same year Lucasfilm was purchased, men like Milo Yiannopoulos were already leading online mobs of white men against women in gaming. But very few outside of the video game world were yet aware of this noxious brew, which had been frothing about since the mid aughts. Several years later, a loud if small group of outraged white male fans continues to make its presence felt across the internet. The revival of the "Star Wars" fandom that followed Disney's reboot efforts is no exception.
Under Kathleen Kennedy's guidance, Lucasfilm has started to reflect on screen the diversity and equality the original films preached in abstract. "Star Wars" is a franchise rooted in a noble set of values, so it made sense that its fans would believe in those values too — and appreciate decisions that reflected them. With both "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" surpassing the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, this initiative has paid off handsomely.
But from the beginning, rumblings from a bigoted, enraged subsection of the "Star Wars" community have threatened to spoil Disney's feel-good storyline. White nationalist fans called for a boycott of "The Force Awakens" because of star John Boyega's prominence in the trailers. They were later joined by men's rights activists upset by the realization that Daisy Ridley was the real star of the film. At the time, most fans just laughed off this trolling. (A boycott of a film that made $2.068 billion cannot be considered a success.)
Critically, Lucasfilm did not publicly and loudly denounce these fans. It just ignored them, perhaps hoping that by refusing to acknowledge their nonsense, they would go away.
Three years later, that strategy hasn't worked. And "Solo," whose script catered directly to white male fans yet became Lucasfilm's first real flop, seems to have sent some fans into a tailspin. White males fans have tripled down, demanding Kennedy be fired for "Solo's" failure, and declaring that "forcing Social Justice values" on the films have ruined them. (Meanwhile, other fans complain that her diversity initiatives have not extended behind the camera enough and that the endless parade of white British brunette women desperately needs to be broken up already.)
From the beginning, rumblings from a bigoted, enraged subsection of the Star Wars community have threatened to spoil Disney's feel-good storyline.
This is an issue the fan community itself cannot police. The majority of the fans may be horrified by things like the attempted "review bombings" of "The Last Jedi" or the infamous 46-minute cut that takes out "everything objectionable" from the film for the "true fans." But the reward for speaking up can be making yourself a target.
Interestingly, much of this trolling is now taking place away from Twitter, where #Gamergate first attracted attention (and later, censure.) Some have taken to sending Facebook messages, which are more private. More critically, they've also turned to Instagram comments. Distracted by other fires, Facebook has not devoted enough time to weeding out abusers and protecting users on its photo-sharing platform. Today, the interface is not at all equipped to handle a targeted harassment campaign.
Obviously, the vast majority of "Star Wars" fans are not abusive trolls. But it only takes a vocal minority to ruin the brand. To prevent this, Disney and Lucasfilm need to step up and loudly quash this nonsense. They have to issue press releases stating what should be obvious: that "Star Wars" is not here to cater to the whims of the white male fan, and thus anyone who feels differently is not a true fan of the franchise. They have to state, upfront, that any harassment of cast members will not be tolerated. They have to stop worrying about "alienating older fans" of the franchise. And they have to do it soon.
As it turns out, the old adage "don't feed the trolls" is simply not appropriate in the digital age.
Because the harassment is getting worse, even as Lucasfilm pushes forward with plans for a film starring the ultimate white-boy Mary Sue character Boba Fett, which some fans hope will star an indigenous actor, honoring the casting of Temuera Morrison, an actor of Māori descent, as Boba's father Jango. But more concerning is the immediate problem of the 18-month gap now between "Solo" and Episode IX's release, more than enough time for this subsection of the fandom to work itself up into a frenzy.
As it turns out, the old adage "don't feed the trolls" is simply not appropriate in the digital age. This advice, while well-intentioned, can allow abuse to fester and spread until it explodes. Disney needs to do something now, before it finds itself dealing with a Gamergate scandal of its own.

Looks like a cool scene but the processing has left quite a few artifacts. I can tell you massively boosted the contrast/dehaze which has left it way too blue and left dark patches at white blue interfaces. I think reprocessing this would really help it a lot.
The repost is much much better (we normally ask that you keep the original one and then post the new one just so that the comments that have already been made make sense. But this is WAY better than the original. Still a bit too blue to my eyes but all of the artifacting is gone.
A lovely mountain view but that blue is a bit too intense for me, Giuseppe!
The blue doesn't look real to me, but it's certainly an interesting artistic effect. A very interesting scene.
Very attractive image, you have taken a bit of artistic license with the color and contrast but that's fine with me.
Agree with most of the others in that it is too blue.
A nice scene that could be reprocessed.

Weight loss tips for a 7 month year old kitten any ideas?
Hello i have a young little kitten and unfortunately he is a little bit overweight. He is a black and white domestic short hair (DSH) and he weighs 5.6kg. He was born January 10th this year so he will be 8 months soon. I need weight loss tips because I don't want him to be fat any tips? please?
Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat.
Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingredient a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things?
Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.
You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all.
Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. I would rather feed a middle grade canned food then the top of the line dry food.
Please read about cat nutrition.
do not feed him kitten food! Its used to fatten them up. Change to a better cat food.
a 7 month year old kitten?
At 7 months he should be still playing a lot, don't just look at his diet, but also encourage him to play active games, chasing balls etc. Good for you for trying to sort this before it gets out of control.
dam thats a big cat for 8mnths. i would suggest feeding him a good quality weight control kibble food like science diet (despite what some may tell you, vets do not recieve any bonus for recommending/selling this product). they have instructions on the bag of what to feed your cat each day depending on its size so that it will lose weight. i would suggest splitting this amount into two meals – morning and night. once he is down to his healthy weight you can follow the instructions on the bag for maintaining his weight. he would also benefit from 2 intense play sessions with you everyday. buy or make him some new toys and rotate the ones u leave out for him so they keep his interest. a good game is to tie some feathers or ribbons one the end of a shoe lace and run around making him chase it. playing with him will also strengthen the bond between you. good luck!
*i have fed my 3 cats science diet since they were kittens (oldest is 8 now) and have been very satisfied with how healthy my cats are for it. the only times they have been to the vet are for neutering and to get their shots. this is not because i couldnt afford it etc, its because they simply have not been sick! before these 3 i had a cat who i fed tinned food and supermarket kibble. she became diabetic at 6 years old and died at 7. i think its worth spending a bit extra for this fact.

Q: Where can I find ActiveState Perl version 5.6.1? I wanted to test some Perl modules on ActiveState Perl version 5.6.1 on Windows.
I googled, but doesn't get any site to download it. Is anyone knows about how to download it?

A:
Community Edition offers access to the newest versions of ActivePerl.
  Access to older versions (Perl 5.6, 5.8, 5.10, 5.12) is available in Business Edition and Enterprise Edition.

So you'll need to buy access to the business or enterprise editions.

Calgary runner takes Peach City marathon
Calgary's Doug Wickware captured the 13th annual Brooks Peach City Half Marathon and 10 kilometre run Sunday.
Emanuel Sequeira
Bronwyn Williams of Kelowna finished third in the 30 to 39 year old female category in the 13 annual Brooke Peach City Half Marathon and 10 kilometre run with a time of 1:05:12
Wickware crossed the finish line in 38:43 seconds, while St. Albert's William Mazurek was second in 41:24, in third was North Vancouver's Daniel Hirner at 42:40. The top female finisher was Edmonton's Teann Dhariwal at 42:59 placing fifth overall, second was Kelowna's Tiffany Fowler in 45:43 good for 13th and third was Vancouver's Amanda Barlow at 46:57 in 15th.
Ellis Andrews was the top local finisher. The Penticton resident finished the 10-k run in 43:12 good for sixth overall. Having won the last five half marathons in his age group (60-69), Ellis decided to take a run at the 10-k event.
"I was a little slow on my time because I'm usually a couple minutes faster," said Andrews, whose average time is in the low 40-minute mark. "Still ended up in sixth overall. It was not too bad. A new age group record (previously held by Shawn Baenziger — 49:58)."
However, that didn't mean he was happy with his performance. Having done track work and gone for a bike ride, Andrews legs were fatigued.
"I should have been second or third really," he laughed, adding it was a little stupid to do both days before the race. "That's the way racing goes. I felt fine but the leg strength just wasn't there."
Penticton's Dave Ribar finished in 44:28 for eighth place. The third Penticton resident to finish was Wayne Everton at 44:39 for 10th place.
Top local female finisher was Kirsten Grant of Oliver. She placed 17th clocking in at 47:43, second and third were Penticton's Annika Everton, 19th overall at 48:05 and Courtney Milligan, 20th overall, at 48:20 respectively.
Trevor Blackwell of Spokane, Wash., won the half marathon clocking in at 1:17:27, followed by Penticton's Sergio Pio finishing in 1:19:10 and third was Jeff Blackwell of Colbert, Wash. Andy Oakes followed Pio as the next highest Penticton male placing fifth overall in 1:26:24. Oakes participated as part of an in-office challenge at the Okanagan Hockey Academy/School, which he is president of. While Oakes didn't find the race itself pleasant, he "enjoyed the atmosphere."
"I was impressed with the camaraderie of the participants," said Oakes. "It was a neat experience."
The top female finisher was Kelowna's Christy Lovig in 1:27:20.
