LANSING, Michigan (August 22, 2018) – A new national poll shows that overall support for charter schools has jumped five percentage points in the past year. The poll by Educational Next also revealed an increase in support among all political and racial subgroups.
Support for charter schools was particularly strong among Black respondents (46 percent support, compared to just 28 percent opposed) and Hispanic respondents (49 percent support, 33 percent opposed). Those are sharp increases from 2017, when 37 percent of Blacks and 39 percent of Hispanics said they supported charter schools.
Politically, there was an increase of support among both Republicans and Democrats. The poll showed that 57 percent of Republicans support charters, compared to just 27 percent who oppose them. That's a huge jump from the 2017 poll, when 47 percent of Republicans voiced support.
Among Democrats, the poll showed that 36 percent support charter schools, up from 34 percent last year.
Dan Quisenberry, President of the Michigan Association of Public School Academies (MAPSA), the state charter school association, said the poll is more evidence that charter schools shouldn't be a political issue.
Quisenberry also noted that the Education Next poll comes on the heels of a poll by Democrats for Education Reform, released earlier this month, that shows overwhelmingly strong support for education reforms like charter schools.
Quisenberry said these are all responses that politicians should take to heart.

July Fourth, eighteen seventeen, was a special day in Rome, New York. People there celebrated the anniversary of America's independence from Britain. They also marked the groundbreaking for the building of the Erie Canal. When it was completed eight years later, the canal became America's first national waterway.
Politicians, businessmen, farmers and traders had talked about creating a canal connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean for one hundred years. A lawyer and politician named De Witt Clinton finally succeeded in getting the canal built.
As early as eighteen-oh-nine, Clinton saw the need for the canal. Then he had to defend his idea against people who laughed at him. Some critics called the canal "Clinton's Folly" -- a stupid project. In eighteen twelve, the federal government rejected a proposal to provide money for the canal.
Big guns were fired in October, eighteen twenty-five, in Buffalo, New York. The cannons were part of a celebration to observe the completion of the Erie Canal. Governor De Witt Clinton and his wife left Buffalo on a barge called the Seneca Chief. The boat moved at the rate of less than five kilometers per hour. It reached the Hudson River nine days later. To mark the arrival, Governor Clinton dropped some water from Lake Erie into the Hudson River.
Within ten years, the Erie Canal had repaid the cost of building it. Transportation of products by canal was less costly than other methods.The waterway carried barges. Most of these boats had flat bottoms for carrying goods. The barges measured up to twenty-four meters long and about four and one-half meters wide. Mules and horses on land pulled the barges through the canal using ropes. Eighty-three devices called locks raised the barges on the canal by more than one hundred seventy meters from the Hudson River to Lake Erie.
Newspaper reporter Michael Doyle wrote a book called "The Forestport Breaks." He wrote the book after researching his ancestors who had lived in Forestport. Mister Doyle said he learned that his great-grandfather took part in the wrongdoing.


After a lot of hard work and brainstorming the long awaited day has finally arrived. Come and join us for an amazing night of entertainment, fun, surprises and most of all in a great atmosphere. See all there.

I laid out gardens and groves, in which I planted every kind of fruit tree. I constructed pools of water, enough to irrigate a forest shooting up with trees.
At Ladera Frutal, we do have quite a variety of fruit trees, most of them (though not the avocados) planted by my own hands, in the days when my back could tolerate that sort of work. In fact, the number of fruit varieties remains not much below the 150 indicated [formerly] on the banner above, reduced only by the freeze of 2007 (which claimed the most tender subtropicals) and some 'natural' attrition (fruit trees are living beings, all of which must die at a time unknown to them–or to the grower).
However, we no longer have the means to irrigate a forest shooting up with trees. The photo above shows what the Ladera Frutal avocado grove now looks like. Yes, it is dying–by design. I had been leaning towards abandoning avocados for some time, for ethical reasons. Over time, as I became more steeped in organic agriculture and food ethics–and, especially as I have developed my own modern Jewish perspectives on those themes–I came to question why we grow what is essentially a rain forest crop in what is very nearly a desert climate. This is not a good use of our scarce resources. Yet what ethics did not lead me to stop doing, economics finally did. With water costs rising and increased imports, and more recently the general economic squeeze affecting most of us, it was time to let the avocado grove go.
The trees are now left to fend for themselves, despite what could have been a good crop in 2009.
Isn't that a sad sight? A Hass avocado tree laden with fruit–but hardly a leaf to be found. Even if it suddenly began to rain, this fruit would be nothing but ornamental orbs. When a fruit tree has fruits, but loses its foliage for lack of water, it draws on the fruit to sustain itself as best it can. From the tree's perspective, all that fruit is just an emergency pool of water.
A time for planting and a time for uprooting the planted.
Ideally, I would uproot the avocados and replace them with a more climate-suitable crop, like olives or grapes. Such crops are ideal for this dry Mediterranean climate, and at one time they were common in San Diego County. Then came the avocado revolution, thanks to cheap water 'imported' from our state's northern reaches and some very crafty and state-subsidized marketing campaigns promoting California Hass avocados. Olive oil consumption is rising dramatically in the USA, so there could be a market. And wine production is returning to this county. Maybe we are in a transition. If so, it is a transition to be welcomed, back towards more sustainable and suitable crops. Avocados are a wonderful fruit, but the Hass (more water hungry than most varieties) really should not be taking up scarce water in a time of what appears to be an increasingly dry climate.
The quotes in this planting, as many a reader may have recognized, come from Ecclesiastes. This biblical book is traditionally read during Sukkot, the holiday just about to wrap up. As a read, it is a tad melancholy, even as it tells us to enjoy our days under the sun–or, in the case of Sukkot, the Season of our Joy, perhaps that should be under the stars and the rain (if only!) or the wind, or whatever else the elements send over our fragile existence.
Obviously there won't be any more avocado harvests to be ingathered at Ladera Frutal, but aside from the former commercial production, "every kind of fruit tree" under the sun remains a core activity around the finca.
there is a frustration that occurs in the world: sometimes an upright man is requited according to the conduct of the scoundrel; and sometimes the scoundrel is requited according to the conduct of the upright. I say all that in frustration.
Indeed. And this is the season not only for rejoicing in the harvest, but soon for using our individual voices as best we can to send a message that we have had enough with that frustration, enough with the scoundrels. Cast wisely and enjoy democracy's days under the sun, for we never know when their end might come.
Why should I be happy and even celebratory over another fast food chain that opened kosher outposts? The food just isn't good, period. These fast food restaurants are all about everything that is bad in American pop culture.
Frankel and groups like Hazon, which sponsors The Jew & The Carrot blog, are suggesting that we widen our definition of Jewish and kosher food. Instead of celebrating our co-option by corporate culture, they are promoting efforts such as community-supported agricultural (CSA) programs. Such programs, often run through synagogues, Hazon, and other groups, put congregants in touch with area farms, which provide regular deliveries of organic, local produce to subscribers. In addition to supporting sustainable agriculture and local farmers, a Jewish CSA, writes Hazon, offers a chance to re-examine and potentially redefine what it means for food to be "fit" ((Kosher means 'fit' or 'proper.')) not only for us, but for the community and the earth as well.
Double amein. Local and organic: Fit food for all.
What is a "wild" crop? One that is not cultivated, correct? That certainly is my understanding of the word, wild. As far as I know there is no labeling standard for the various products that are called "wild," and thus cultivated fruits can be in processed foods that are labeled wild.
I remember some years ago when there were discussions among organic producers about the mixed blessing of the then-budding mass interest in organic products. Of course, those of us who grow and consume organic products want the concept to spread–for both our own interests and those of the planet. But we knew it was inevitable that government agencies would begin to relax standards at the behest of the big-time processors and retailers, who can hire better-connected lobbyists than the committed organic growers can. An article from earlier this month in the LA Times, from which the not-wild, not-organic hop lager story comes, suggest that this relaxation of standards is very much underway.
My own advice is not only to look for the "organic" label, but to favor relatively smaller producers who specialize in organic whenever possible. If it is local, even better.
If you care about the impact of your food choices on not only yourself, but also on the environment–and please do–should you aim to buy local or organic? John Cloud, writing in Time, has a piece on precisely this question that is well worth a read.
The article is surprisingly good, considering its mega-media publication outlet, and in spite of some annoying passages (e.g. an utterly stupid throwaway line, "I know I've been listening to too much npr…," and some irrelevant and ignorant political asides). It does quite a good job of considering the many dimensions of these decisions, and includes informative interviews with John Mackey (Whole Foods) and Nate Keller (Google's Café 150).
advocates of local eating are now making another leap, saying what happens after harvest–how food is shipped and handled–is perhaps even more important than how it was grown.
I am not completely ready to endorse that statement, but I come close. If forced to make the choice, on most produce I would prioritize local over organic. Fortunately, I am in California, and I rarely have to make that tradeoff–especially if I do not insist on "fresh" fruit like grapes and plums in the winter (which will have been picked way too early and shipped thousands of miles from the southern hemisphere).
the packages in which most Whole Foods groceries are sold say nothing about the food's origin. For instance, in the freezer section you can find Whole Foods' Whole Kitchen brand Breaded Eggplant Slices with Italian Herbs. The box tells you a wealth of information about the eggplant slices–that they contain wheat, dextrose and annatto (a dye); that they can be fried, baked or microwaved; that they have no trans fat; that they are "flavorful" and "versatile." But you don't learn where the eggplant comes from.
Yes, this is a major annoyance to me. I just want to know. Tell me where the produce came from.
UPDATE: Mike Biltonen weighs in on this issue. His blog is called Organic Schmorganic, and subtitled "Debunking the myth of organic in favor of local, ecological agriculture." To clarify a misconcption some readers apparently (and understandably) have gotten, he says, "What we're really battling is GLOBAL organic and not LOCAL organic." I certainly am sympathetic with that.
Is organic farming 'no better for the environment'? The headline in The Independent, regarding "The first comprehensive study of the environmental impact of food production" suggests not. However, the study, by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, is evidently rather more mixed than the headline implies.
[It] found "many" organic products had lower ecological impacts than conventional methods using fertilisers and pesticides. But academics at the Manchester Business School (MBS), who conducted the study, said that was counterbalanced by other organic foods – such as milk, tomatoes and chicken – which are significantly less energy efficient and can be more polluting than intensively-farmed equivalents.
I don't know much about dairy or chicken farming, but deeper into the story it becomes clear that much of the problem with tomatoes (and other vegetables) is out-of-season hothouse production. Well, no surprise there. Organic standards are one thing, but the organic spirit is one of natural methods. And growing things in heated indoor spaces because one's climate will not support outdoor growing is a far cry from the spirit of harmony with the natural environment that organic (and, for that matter, non-organic) growers should aspire to.
Advocates of organic farming said its environmental benefits had long been established, not least by Mr Miliband [the Environment Secretary] who has written it is "better for biodiversity than intensive farming". The Soil Association said it recognised that in some areas, such as poultry and growing vegetables out of season, organic was less energy efficient.
As for Ladera Frutal (which is certified organic), the heavy use of imported water to grow a subtropical crop like avocados in this naturally dry a climate does concern me. If only I could afford to drill a well or bear the up-front investment costs of converting the avocado grove to a less thirsty crop. Nonetheless, it is highly likely that any broad assessment of the impact of fruit-growing methods would be favorable to organic over conventional.
Furthermore, if the alternative to growing avocados in California is buying them from Chile and Mexico, an assessment of the environmental impact would have to take into account the vastly greater insecticide use in those countries (in part due to past over-use that has killed off beneficial insects and resulted in evolved resistance) and the carbon impact of the longer-distance transportation. These considerations would be separate from the straight comparison of organic vs. conventional methods in either California or Latin America, and yet a further question would be the quality of the oversight on organic (or other) standards in developing countries.
I would take home two conclusions: (1) There are more important assessments of producer practices that the informed and environmentally sensitive consumer should take into account than the simple organic–conventional dichotomy, and (2) As always, the evaluative criteria employed–rather narrow in the UK Defra study–are essential to the conclusions of any study of the impact of the processes of producing our food on the environment.

Standard steel heating oil tanks are strong and durable but, like most things, they eventually need to be replaced. Internal corrosion, caused gradually over time by natural condensation, is usually the reason. Most homeowner insurance and oil dealer service policies do not cover oil tank replacement. With our proactive annual TANK-GUARD® Oil Tank Protection Program, qualifying tanks are protected against damaging internal corrosion with an effective liquid corrosion inhibitor to reduce the risk of tank failure. Plus, you will be protected financially with a generous tank warranty if your tank should need to be replaced while it is registered on our program.
Why not call your heating oil dealer today to see if your tank qualifies?
An oilheat service technician will make an initial safety inspection to verify that your tank qualifies. We use visual inspection guidelines as recommended by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA).
Your tank will be treated with our concentrated TANK-GUARD® liquid corrosion inhibitor during a regular oil delivery or service visit.
If your tank leaks from internal corrosion while it is enrolled on the TANK-GUARD® Program, your oilheat dealer will arrange to replace the tank and you will receive a generous warranty credit toward the replacement cost. Your dealer can provide full warranty details and tell you the current amount of the warranty credit.
Your TANK-GUARD® protection will be automatically renewed each year. You will be billed for the renewal, your tank will be treated annually with the TANK-GUARD® corrosion inhibitor and your warranty will continue uninterrupted.
Why do heating oil tanks fail?
Internal corrosion is the most common cause of oil tank failure. All heating oil tanks are vented to the outside atmosphere. Moisture condenses from the air inside the oil tanks – even indoor tanks. The moisture (actually a small amount of accumulated water) is heavier than oil and goes to the tank bottom where it forms an acidic sludge. Over time it can corrode the metal by oxidation (rusting) or electrolysis (pitting), eventually causing a leak. Leaks of this type typically start with slow seeping or dripping. Call your oilheat dealer immediately if you notice such a leak. Place a pan or container under the leak. Do not touch or wipe the area of the leak.
TANK-GUARD® corrosion inhibitor is a water soluble concentrate. It does not mix with the large quantity of oil in the tank. It mixes only with the relatively small amount of moisture and sludge in the tank bottom where it serves as a neutralizing agent and helps to impede further corrosion.
Check your oil tank regularly for any signs of a leak.
Call your oilheat dealer if you see oil anywhere on the tank, pipes, fittings or floor. Do not touch or wipe the area of a leak on the tank.
Consider placing a containment tray beneath the tank. It's an inexpensive preventive maintenance precaution against leaks, drips or spills. See the example below.
Unprotected copper oil supply lines buried in concrete can leak and cause contamination without being noticed. If your oil supply line from the tank to the burner is partially buried in concrete, make sure that it is encased in a non-metallic sleeve that extends at least 4 inches above the concrete at each end. If you're not sure, ask your oilheat dealer to check it.
It's a good practice to keep your tank full during the summer. Less space in the tank for air means less humidity inside the tank and less condensation and water accumulation over time.

Share All sharing options for: Come See the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl
Unless you've been under a rock for the past week, you know that the Sharks defeated the St. Louis Blues in the Western Conference Final and are now playing for the Stanley Cup. Yipee!
What better way to kill time before Game 2 Wednesday night than seeing the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl up close and in person?
That's right. On Wednesday, June 1, the trophy will be on display at Orchard Supply Hardware at the Princeton Plaza from 2:30-4:00 p.m. The address is 1375 Blossom Hill Road in San Jose.
The trophy, named after former NHL president Clarence Campbell, was established during the 1967-1968 season and since then has been presented to the team that has won the Western Conference.
Come out to OSH tomorrow dressed in teal and take a photo with the Campbell. What a great way to see a piece of NHL history up close and personal right before watching the Sharks take on the Pittsburgh Penguins for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Go Sharks.

What Kennedy hoped his Georgetown speech would do
By Godfrey Sperling Jr. Staff correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
The "Kennedy speech," as the senator's Jan. 28 address at Georgetown University is being referred to, has accomplished his first objective: It has changed the subject.
The media and the voters have taken their eyes off the Iowa presidential caucus results and are focusing on the Senator Kennedy's attack on President Carter.
This judgment comes from top Carter people, as well as from the Kennedy camp. "No doubt about it," one key Carter political strategist told the Monitor," Kennedy was able to do what he had to do -- get the spotlight off of his Iowa defeat."
Beyond this clear Kennedy gain, the "Speech" and his follow-up TV address in New England, in which he added comments on Chappaquiddick, appear to have workers in Maine and New Hampshire -- where morale had been low and, hence, where the vote-getting effort had been flagging.
But reporters conversing with politicians in both Maine and New Hampshire have yet to find any clear-cut upward surge in Senator Kennedy's fortunes.
"Things are just about as they were before Kennedy spoke out," one high-level New Hampshire Democrat who has maintained a neutral stance said Jan. 29. "People who liked Kennedy are still going to back him, and those who had made up their mind to go for Carter still will support him."
The expert observers making these assessments usually add this reservation: The new Kennedy initiative could have more long-run impact than now appears.
In Washington, some observers are saying that the senator opened up a very legitimate and important debate on what US relations with the Soviet Union now should be.
They say it is the moment for the public to hear both "doves" and "hawks" debate the President's new, tougher stance in dealing with Soviet aggression.
They say such questions as these must be discussed:
*Are we unduly antagonizing the soviets, as Mr. Kennedy suggested?
* Do we possess the military might to back up the tough Carter position, as Republicans are asking?
* Are we edging toward a confrontation which could include the use of nuclear weapons, as those of varying philosophical stripes are asking?
However, some observers say that in attacking the President's foreign policy Senator Kennedy has seriously eroded national unity in this time of crisis. They, thus, questions the ligitimacy of what some of them are calling "Kennedy's desperation politics" being brought to bear on foreign policy at this time.
Also, in political circles here, this view of Senator Kennedy's latest moves is often heard: That he now is looking more at the future than he is at trying to win the nomination; that he wants to project himself as the leader of the liberal community -- and be in a position to carry that leadership into debates in the Senate and, also, if a "liberal" or "dove" cause is a burning one in 1984 , to be the logical candidate to carry the torch for that cause.
You, Bernie Sanders, are no Ted Kennedy. (Why that's good for Hillary.)
Closeup on… Robert F. Kennedy
Obamas, Clintons to visit JFK grave. Is Kennedy legacy still potent politics?

Jake Fromm vs. Jacob Eason is a win-win situation for Georgia
Georgia quarterbacks Jacob Eason (left) and Jake Fromm prepare to play against Tennessee in Neyland Stadium this past Saturday. Both did, as the injured Eason played the last two series of the Bulldogs' 41-0 victory.
Curtis Compton/AJC
ATHENS — The sun was barely up Monday morning and Terry Godwin hadn't even gotten to his first class when he was hit with the question.
"Who's going to start at quarterback this week, Fromm or Eason?" a fellow student asked Godwin on the bus.
Godwin is, of course one of Georgia's leading receivers. So he said he gets that question all day every day. So does every other player on the team.
Imagine what it's like for Jake Fromm and Jacob Eason. They were also riding buses and attending classes at UGA on Monday morning.
Then again, maybe it's easier for them. Surely no one's coming up to Fromm and asking him, "You think you're going to start at quarterback again this week?" Or to Eason, "Do you think you should be starting instead of Jake?"
Regardless, their answers probably would be the same as the one Godwin gave his fellow passenger Monday morning.
"I don't know but whoever the coaches put back there is going to put us in the best position to win," Godwin shared.
He's right, of course. And here's the thing that's probably not getting talked about enough in Georgia's quarterback scenario: It's all good.
When it comes to quarterback competitions, we tend to focus on the complication of it, the controversy of it. But what the Bulldogs have is neither complicated nor controversial.
This is a time about which UGA football fans should be nothing but grateful for the abundant blessings. Midway through a season in which they lost their starting quarterback to injury in the first quarter of the first game, the Bulldogs have not one but two proven quarterbacks they can use.
"It is comforting to know that you've got two experienced [QBs], where last year we really had one experienced and going into this year we had one," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Monday. "Now we like to think we've got two that have played at least a complete season — or 4½ games in the case of Fromm."
The No. 5-ranked Bulldogs (5-0) are obviously playing great with Fromm at the controls. The freshman from Houston County has been amazing on so many levels, not the least of which is the ol' win-loss part of the equation. Everybody can see that.
Through five games, Fromm has completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 734 yards, 8 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. This past Saturday, he also showed he could be a viable threat on the zone-read play, keeping the ball 7 times for 20 yards and scoring 2 TDs against Tennessee.
He hasn't been without flaws. Fromm still makes freshman mistakes and could use a little more zip on some of his throws. Nitpicky, I know, but factual.
Meanwhile, it's not like the Bulldogs suddenly are this offensive juggernaut. Georgia is ninth in the SEC in total offense (387 ypg), last in passing (149.6 ypg) and fifth in scoring (33.0 ppg).
Georgia hasn't needed an all-world offense the way its defense is playing. Then again, everybody suddenly likes to compare the Bulldogs to Alabama. Well, the Crimson Tide are first in both total offense (508.6 ypg) and scoring (46.2).
So there's room to improve the UGA offense.
Then there's Eason.
Let's deal with the injury part of the equation first. Even though he played this past Saturday, it's my understanding the sophomore quarterback is still not 100 percent recovered from his left knee sprain. The heavy brace and wrapping he wore this past weekend were indicative of that.
Smart told us Monday that whichever quarterback this Saturday at Vanderbilt will be determined by how the two players look in practice this week. But I would think if Eason is physically performing at anything less than 100 percent, it would preclude him from starting over Fromm.
As for the Eason vs. Fromm comparison, we really don't have much to compare. People point to how Georgia's offense operated in the only three series we saw with Eason in charge as evidence. But those three fruitless possessions before Eason twisted his knee getting shoved out of bounds simply aren't enough to go on. You simply can't know whether he would've led Georgia's offense to 31 points against App State as did Fromm.
Maybe Eason and that big strong arm would've torched Notre Dame's secondary the next week. Maybe Georgia would've passed for 294 yards rather than ran for 294 yards against Tennessee with Eason on the field.
Or maybe he would've kept doing what we saw on his one chance for a TD pass against Tennessee, throw it too hard and too high for his receiver.
That, we'll never know. What we do know is that the Bulldogs now have a different Plan B than they did at the outset of the season — and it's a really good one. The only difference is Fromm is now Plan A and Eason is Plan B.
If Fromm goes down with a knee sprain or a concussion, Eason is the next guy in. Or, if Fromm goes into Vanderbilt Stadium this Saturday and for whatever reason can't make the offense go, Smart can call Jim Chaney on his headset and say "get No. 10 ready. Let's see if he can get something going."
It's a win-win situation. At least that's what Godwin thinks.
"Either way the coaches go, I know we're going to win," Godwin said confidently. "Having two guys back there that can play just gives us a better chance."
In Georgia's case, two's definitely better than one.
NEXT Georgia players now say 'culture change' is real, and results have been spectacular

STOICISM: PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE June 17, 2014 — 41 Comments When most people think of "philosophy," their eyes glaze over. It's the last thing they want, let alone something they need. But this, as you already know, is silly and naive. Philosophy is not just about talking or lecturing, or even reading long, dense books. The first nine essays featured in this book were presented in initial form at a symposium on Cicero's practical philosophy late in 2006 at the University of Notre Dame.
It is the private Letters from a Stoic by Seneca. Seneca, like Marcus, was also a powerful man in Rome. That was philosophy. It was practical and it was applicable and it made life better. But thankfully some philosophers were doers and writers, and the books below will help you understand the words that they lived by—and hopefully apply them to your own opportunities, obstacles, and … The Practical Philosophy: Being the Philosophy of the Feelings, of the Will, and of the Con-Science, With the Ascertainment of Practicular Rights and Duties: R.

How Sharing Your To-Do List Can Help You Get More Done
Belle B. Cooper
Filed to: productivityFiled to: productivity
republished
As more of us are working remotely these days, more digital task managers are offering collaborative features like sharing specific tasks, commenting on tasks, and making shared to-do lists within your team.
This post originally appeared on the RescueTime blog.
I've taken these features for granted as they've become more popular, but never really wondered how useful it is to share your to-do list. Sometimes it's simply necessary to do so, so your colleagues can see what you're working on or communicate around a shared project.
But what about when you have the option of keeping your to-do list private or making it public? Why would you want to share your tasks if you don't have to?
Sharing Your Tasks Lets Others Help You Get Them Done
Xander Schultz believes so strongly in the benefits of sharing tasks that he created an entire app around the idea of public to-do lists. The app, Complete, sadly later shut down, but Schultz made a solid argument for sharing your tasks, even if you can't use his app to do so.
Schultz says "a to-do list, in reality, is a to-do-later list." Our to-do lists tend to be full of things we're not ready to do yet, but hope to get to someday. This is where a public to-do list really shines, according to Schultz, because others can see what you're planning to do sometime in the future and offer support and advice before you need it.
While sites like Yelp, Quora, and Amazon reviews are useful for gathering advice, we tend to browse these sites only when we're ready to take action—and then get stuck for hours comparing reviews and debating what to do. Schultz says making your tasks public before you're ready to act on them works better:
A public task allows the opportunity for people to push you the advice and motivation you need before you have to search for a solution.
Say you need to purchase a new set of headphones, for instance. That task might languish on your to-do list for months without you making any effort to get it done. When you do finally decide it's time to get it done, you could spend hours researching different brands and models and comparing reviews.
With a public to-do list, according to Schultz, you could get recommendations from friends and followers about their favourite headphones well before you're thinking about making the effort to find some for yourself. What could have been an hour-long task (or longer) that you put off could end up being a ten-minute task based on advice and suggestions from trusted friends.
A public to-do list can be beneficial for longer-term goals, too, says Schultz. He set a weight-loss goal that he struggled to reach by his due date, but with each new update he added about his progress, friends and followers offered support and helpful advice. Schultz says it doesn't matter that he didn't reach that goal, because sharing his progress along the way and receiving help to keep going was worth having a public goal that he didn't complete.
Making Your To-Do List Public Will Make It Better for You
When software developer Joe Reddington made his to-do list public, he thought it would be a small, simple step towards personal transparency. He's committed to being transparent and wanted to take a further step to prove that commitment.
He had no idea how big an impact that decision would make on his productivity.
Making your to-do list public, says Reddington, forces you to write a better to-do list than you would have otherwise:
… when you write a to-do item for someone else to read, you tell them what actually has to happen, but when you write it for yourself, you leave yourself a cryptic note.
As soon as he made his to-do list public, Reddington noticed several issues with it: duplicate tasks, tasks written as questions, and tasks that were simply poorly-written. Reddington took some time to clean up his list and rewrite most of his tasks so they made sense to anyone reading the list. Doing so made each task easier to get started and easier to finish, so Reddington is now more productive simply because his to-do list is written more carefully.
I can honestly say that it's been the most effective change in my productivity in at least two, possibly five years.
Reddington says it doesn't matter who looks at his public list, or even if anyone looks at it. Simply making it public does the trick:
... the number of people looking at it makes very little difference—all that I need to know is that someone might and that's enough for me.
Sharing Your Goals Makes You More Likely to Achieve Them
Finally, something we can all agree on: whether you're sharing simple tasks or long-term goals, you probably want to get them done. That's the whole reason for putting them on your to-do list in the first place, right?
Well, here's the good news: sharing big tasks and goals makes you more likely to accomplish them.
In a study of 267 people, participants were split into groups, each given different instructions for approaching a goal they wanted to achieve. Some simply kept their goal to themselves and worked towards it privately. Others wrote down a commitment to take action on that goal and shared their commitment with a friend. A final group shared their commitment with a friend but also sent that friend weekly progress updates.
Of the 149 participants who completed the full study, 70% in the weekly updates group either completed their goal or made it further than halfway to completion. 65% of those who shared just an action commitment with a friend also made it past the halfway mark or completed their goal by the study's end.
But of those who kept their goals private, only 35% were able to get past the halfway mark.
This isn't the only study to show this effect, either. A 2016 review of 138 different studies found that we tend to do more of what we've planned when others can track our progress.
There is a caveat to this effect, though. It works best for action goals, where the focus is completing a task or doing something. For identity-based goals, where the focus is on changing the kind of person you are, or being different, sharing your goals can backfire.
When we tell a friend about a goal we have to be different—for instance, to be a better friend—we tend to feel like we've made progress towards our goal simply by talking about it. Which, unfortunately, makes us less likely to take real action towards that goal.
So double-check what type of goals you have before discussing them, but if you have an action-based goal or a big task to complete, sharing your progress can help you get it done.
You may not be ready to share your entire to-do list with the world as Joe Reddington did, but simply sharing a goal or task with a friend can be just as beneficial.
Sharing your to-do list makes you rethink how it's written, and gives you some accountability for your progress. It also opens up the possibility for others to share their advice and experiences with you to help you accomplish what you've planned.

The church sought legal help to fight the village's demands that the sign be removed. Ultimately, the Unitarian Universalist Church of East Aurora...

A superb ensemble cast falls in for action in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. Joker (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D'Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood), Cowboy (Arliss Howard) and more - all are plunged into a boot-camp hell pitbulled by a leatherlung D.I. (Lee Ermey) who views the would-be devil dogs as grunts, maggots or something less. "Lee, I want it real," Kubrick told Ermey at the outset of filming. "I wouldn't give it to you any other way," the ex-Marine sergeant responded. The action is savage, the story unsparing, the dialogue spiked with scathing humor. Full Metal Jacket, from its rigors of basic training to its nightmare of combat in Hue City, scores a cinematic direct hit.
