I never thought drawing feet could get so philosophical—or so contentious.
Sometimes you get students in your art class who have already convinced themselves that they will fail before they even try. A few weeks ago the attitude manifested itself when a student blew off a figure drawing assignment---because it had to include the feet. "I suck at feet," he told me. Presumably this disqualified him from ever having to draw feet—or any figure with intact limbs. I told him, "Your language is wrong. Do you have some gene for "sucking at feet?" Or are you simply saying you haven't studied them enough or practiced them enough to make them look good?" Unfortunately for this kid he had an existentialist for an art teacher. The next day I gave him a photocopy of feet from a George Bridgman book and told him to get to work.
By the end of the period he had five nice drawings of Bridgman's feet—and the sense of how to use basic shapes and structures to conceptualize a complex organic form. Studying that Bridgman page took this kid from "can't" to "can."
As I pondered over this encounter, I thought about the figure drawing books in my classroom, which take up multiple shelves. I've looked far and wide for the best break-downs and references. In spite of a slew of modern volumes, I find myself time and again falling back on a few old classics. These are:
I could spend multiple posts describing how essential these were to me for building my skills as an artist. They were among the treasures my drawing teacher, Bob McLeod, shared with me at the beginning of my studies with him. I filled multiple sketchbooks with copies of the figures in these books and read Loomis's and Hamm's meticulous descriptions of how the muscles masses worked, how to draw foreshortened limbs, and how to construct manikins out of your head that enabled you to envision the figure in any position directly from your imagination. With their help I was able (within a few months) to create without any reference a realistic drawing of a woman walking—and while my teacher watched with a critical eye! (Talk about pressure). I can't overstate how helpful these books were and how comprehensive they are.
Apparently there are others who take a far dimmer view. When I was looking for images from Loomis to illustrate this post, one of the first that popped up came from a young artist named Megan Rose Ruiz's Twitter page, where she excoriated Loomis for this drawing:
Her main objection had to do with the high heels, the depiction of which she said was "harmful." This generated literally dozens of comments. She also took Jack Hamm to task for this drawing because he did not include the woman's nasolabial folds (the creases that go from your nostrils to the edges of your mouth):
"How do you release an entire anatomy book and all of the drawings of women have makeup and also super blown out lighting that doesn't accurately depict the nasolabial folds???!!! " she wrote. Strangely when I looked at her artist's page she omitted the nasolabial folds on her own self-portrait, which also has its fair share of blown out lighting and makeup.
She urges her forty thousand followers (!) to be critical of art education texts because they don't always contain "correct" information.
It's hard to miss the high heels in Loomis's and Hamm's nudes. They're there because these men were creating these books to help people interested in entering commercial illustration, which involved (from the era of the Gibson Girl to Twiggy) drawing women in high heels because that's what they frequently wore in real life. Naturally it looks ludicrous now. The books are 60-80 years old. Just as whatever art or fashion conventions we have now will look equally ludicrous when Ms. Ruiz is in her senescence.
Were these images sexist? What do you expect from commercial illustration (or fine art—think Picasso or De Kooning) in the pre-feminist era? It's deplorably easy to skewer the past over the ways in which it falls short of modern norms. Is anyone surprised that Loomis didn't draw plus-size women (or that Rubens, on the other hand, did)? Is anyone surprised that Loomis and Hamm used exclusively white (and young) models? They come from a different era that was not as enlightened as ours when it comes to gender disparities. No one had named the "male gaze" yet.
I was once on the receiving end of a mile-high pile-on of fanboys and art bros when I dared to suggest that this image by Frank Frazetta was (to put it extremely diplomatically—gotta watch out for the fanboys) racially insensitive:
I understand that he was illustrating Edgar Rice Burroughs. Needless to say, the creator of Tarzan of the Apes was not a paragon of racial sensitivity. Boy, you should have read those comments. No one supported me. I checked out of it when one art bro started telling me how great Nazi propaganda artist Hubert Lanzinger was.
But the thing is—I never said I didn't like Frazetta's artwork. In fact, I have two of his posters hanging in my office. It's pretty clear Frank Frazetta and I wouldn't have seen eye to eye about politics—especially these days. I may have deplored some of his views. But that does not prevent his work from being able to inspire wonder in me.
It's not as pat as saying, "You have to separate the art from the artist." Sometimes—in the case of Hubert Lanzinger—you can't. But I love this painting and I don't care what Frank Frazetta's politics were.
I'm not a conservative. Does that mean that Edward Hopper or Andrew Wyeth (who were) have nothing to teach me about painting technique? Should my students only learn anatomy and figure drawing from teachers who agree with their social mores? I'd have a lot of classroom management problems if that were the case.
What rubs me the wrong way about Ms. Ruiz's facile critique is not that she draws attention to problematic depictions of women in drawing books. I spent a whole PhD dissertation drawing attention to problematic depictions of Afghan women by Hollywood and the news media. What bothers me is that for many young artists the presence of high heels and the absence of nasolabial folds somehow invalidates the plethora of information in Loomis's or Hamm's books that is worthwhile and helpful. Do the sexist elements in these books really cancel out the wealth of helpful hints, information, and anatomical references? Dismissing them so contemptuously sadly illustrates not just a failure of empathy or imagination but also a specious—and harmful—idea: the absolute conviction that we have nothing to learn from people whose values we don't share. This is today's hobgoblin of little minds. How's it working out for us?

New late stage prostate cancer technology available in UK
GenesisCare has launched a new radiotherapy technology in the UK to treat late stage prostate cancer patients, for whom there are limited treatment options available.
The technology, called Theranostics, provides a personalised approach to treatment and diagnosis in prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumours including head and neck cancers, and the service is now available at the GenesisCare centre in Windsor for the first time in the UK.
The technology combines two techniques in one: diagnostic (imaging) and therapy, by using a radioactive tracer that is specific to receptors found on the surface of cancer cells.
The company says that "The therapy is equally specific and targets the same protein receptors on the prostate cancer cells. The radioactive tracer acts like a 'smart homing missile' to locate and destroy cancer cells. The targeted therapy limits damage to surrounding normal cells, to minimise potential side effects and improve a patient's quality of life."
Prostate cancer usually develops slowly, so there may be no signs for many years, meaning that early detection is difficult.
"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, yet treatment options which extend survival and provide hope for a good quality of life remain limited in late stage disease," said Dr Yong Du, UK clinical director of Theranostics at GenesisCare.
"While not a complete cure, theranostics can enable suitable patients a good quality of life, for longer, and I am proud to be part of bringing this new and highly innovative technique to the UK – something that patients in Germany and Australia have been able to access for a number of years already."

I'm very happy that it's done to all parties satisfaction, I hope ! short sales are not easy for lots of reasons. but she helped get it done, in spite of some stumbling blocks !! pleasant and encouraging all the time !! thank goodness she sent her letter after my original listing expired. good business sense "
" Very friendly and knowledgeable about all areas she was able to show homes in. She never kept me waiting. She would always answer her texts or calls very quickly EXCELLENT!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! "
" Alicia is the best! From the day we decided to list our home, she made the entire process feel seamless, because she handled every hiccup before we had a moment to worry. Alicia worked with a professional photographer to create a gorgeous listing, which prompted multiple showings right away. We sold our home at full list price within a couple months. Once we had an offer, Alicia helped us find the perfect new home for our family even with the location restrictions we had because we wanted to stay in the same elementary school district. We love our new home and appreciate all of Alicia's hard work to help us walk away with a great return on our starter home and find our forever home "

What does "Here it comes" mean?
"There's something I need to say," Riley says at last, her voice serious...
Here it comes, Gwen thinks.
Could you please tell me what the meaning of "Here it comes" is?
The fuller text:
Maybe it's time to try. Maybe it's time to let go of the baggage, the guilt, and try to live her life, she thinks. Maybe last night is a new beginning for her. She feels a surging warmth and happiness inside about David that she can't help, even though Dana is dead. She'd wanted so much to go to him just now. But it would have been completely inappropriate. They'd managed a warm glance at one another, but that was it. There was time. They would be together again. Riley won't like it that she was with David last night. Gwen knows that, but Riley is her friend, not her keeper. Riley should be happy for her that she's met someone. Gwen was always happy for Riley when she met someone, and Gwen usually didn't have anyone special herself. She's sorry it had to happen when they were supposed to be spending time together this weekend, but you must take good things when and where you find them. They are rare enough. Dana's dreadful accident has brought this home to her. Riley should understand that. It's not like she planned it this way. They reach the room and Riley closes the door behind her. Gwen looks up at her warily, waiting for her to say something. When she doesn't, Gwen reaches for some clothes from her overnight bag. She would like a shower, but that seems out of the question. The water will be freezing. "There's something I need to say," Riley says at last, her voice serious, as she pulls a top on over her head and flips her long hair over her shoulders. Here it comes, Gwen thinks. "That attorney, David Paley." "What about him?" Gwen's voice comes out more sharply than she intended. "Did you sleep with him?" "Actually, yes, I did."
An Unwanted Guest By Shari Lopena
PeacePeace
As TheRealLester says:
the it in the sentence is referring to the thing that Riley needs to say
but this is a very flexible phrase (could I even say idiom?)
It is something you can think or say whenever you know something bad or unwanted is expected and has now arrived.
For some more examples:
Your whole family has a nasty cold, and you have just finished a really loud long snotty sneeze. You think, "HERE IT COMES!"
This one means:
"Oh no! That sneeze means I have caught the cold, haven't I?"
The company you work for has been losing money for months, an urgent all-staff meeting has been called. Someone says: "Come on chaps, here it comes."
This means:
"Come on, everyone; this is the meeting where they tell us we are all out of a job."
J.R.♦
WendyGWendyG
In this instance, the it in the sentence is referring to the thing that Riley needs to say. So when Gwen says, "Here it comes," he knows that the question was going to be asked and was preparing himself for the tough question.
TheRealLesterTheRealLester
"Here it comes."
This is a typical idiomatic spoken phrase. People say this all the time to point out something that is "heavy" (troubling in some manner) in their own head or for themselves, or which could be heavy for the other person.
In the conversation in question, Gwen knows she is about to ask a question that will be a "heavy" question for her and the other woman: "Did you sleep with him?". It refers to her being reticent to asking the question and then going ahead and asking it.
It is also used when you do or say something and expect some kind of specific reaction from the other person: anger, surprise, etc.

Here it comes means "it is about to come" (that is, it is incipient) and the phrase can be used of a variety of things:
I can see the train in the distance. Here it comes.
The forecast said there was a 50% chance of a violent thunderstorm, and here it comes! Look how dark the sky has become.
She thought the subject of taxes would cause him to rant. "Here it comes" she said to herself.

The Monetary Policy committee (MPC) presented its fourth monetary policy for the fiscal year on October 04, 2017. In line with our expectations, the MPC voted (5 – 1) in favor of keeping the policy repo rate unchanged at 6.00%, while maintaining the 'neutral' stance of the monetary policy and remaining watchful of incoming data. One of the MPC members was in favor of at least 0.25% repo rate cut.
The MPC observed that CPI inflation rose by 2% since its August bimonthly policy meeting. These price pressures along with heightened financial market volatility due to global developments viz. US Fed balance sheet unwinding and risk of policy normalization by the ECB, higher oil prices and potential inflationary pressures from fiscal slippage led to RBI increasing its inflation projection to 4.2-4.6% from 3.5-4.5% for H2FY2018.
Growth projection has been lowered to 6.7% for FY18, due to weak investment activity on the back of GST implementation and stressed balance sheets of banks and corporate. While the MPC acknowledged the likelihood of output gap widening and slowing growth, but stated that it requires more data points to better ascertain the transient versus sustained headwinds in the recent growth prints. RBI believes that the teething problems linked to GST and bandwidth constraints may get resolved soon, allowing growth to accelerate in H2FY2018.
Though headline CPI inflation has remained low in H1FY2018 due to low food prices and on account of the effects of demonetization, we would remain watchful on how sustainable these factors are going forward. It is expected that the interest rate easing cycle has broadly come to an end, possibly with some room for accommodation left, depending on the evolving inflation and growth trajectory over the coming months. The improving macro-economic scenario of the Indian economy presents good investment opportunity for Policyholders. Policyholders would be well placed to benefit from the economic revival if they continue to pay their premiums regularly and remain invested in the India growth story.

Yes. Dani was great! She was very informative and made me feel at ease.
Unfortunately this procedure simply does not work. Perhaps others have had success, and I am sure since otherwise the procedure would not exist, but I found this non-invasive procedure not be any good considering the price point. I scheduled for two treatments, but cancelled the second since i noticed no results from the first. I did not want to waste an additional $1k+ for something that showed no results. It's unfortunate.
Overall I thought it was a great experience, my skin is highly sensitive and due to it being a treatment I expected a minimal breakout. My skin definitely looked more plump after, which I loved!


Here is a bit of a behind the scenes look at Stepping Stones, an event Sensebellum hosted on Western Washington University's Old Main building during June 8th of graduation week. The core of the piece featured a piano that drove projections and sound tied with the building and the architecture. Each key of the piano became a window or column and had a certain sound with it. After a good session on the instrument, we opened it up for interpretation with a microphone that anyone could walk up to, speak into, augment the facade of Old Main in response to different levels in the audio spectrum.
The concept behind Stepping Stones is that of taking steps toward the future. This can be interpreted through the graduating classes present, the possibilities of audio/visual and interactive experiences becoming the norm, the work it took to build Old Main using locally derived stone; and lastly, learning and being entertained together in mutually beneficial ways. This is what we work towards, Stepping Stones was a step towards that, for all of us.

UNION BERLIN VS BAYERN MUNICH: 5 THINGS WE LEARNED
SRINIVAS SADHANAND |18th May 2020
Amidst the Bundesliga adapting to the 'new normal', Bayern Munich returned to their old ways by securing the all important three points against a resilient Union Berlin outfit with a 2-0 victory. Despite the new wave of eyes on German football unanimously predicting a Bayern battering, the hosts weren't as welcoming as first perceived as they fought tooth and nail for every blade of grass and for what they lacked in finesse, they made up for in their workman-like footballing ethos. Disappointingly enough, Neven Subotić, one of Union Berlin's old-guard didn't stick to the plan and exhibited a naivety that doesn't do justice to his wealth of experience after a labored attempt at a challenge tripped Leon Goretzka in the box and Robert Lewandowski did what he was born to do from 12 yards.
As the 2nd half kicked off, the league leaders maintained their one goal lead, despite not being at their vintage best until a Benjamin Pavard header in the 80th minute put the game to bed as well as Urs Fischer's side's valiant showing on a sunny Berlin afternoon. Restoring their four-point lead at the top after Borussia Dortmund reigned over Schalke in the Revierderby, Bayern march on.
Here are the 5 things we learned from the contest.
In a world of strikers, Robert Lewandowski is a sensei
Regardless of whichever side of the goalscorers are born versus made debate you stand on, Robert Lewandowski dominates any conversation about No.9's as he does defences. At this point, referring to Lewandowski as the best striker in the world is less a compliment and more a deserved designation. Despite taking the least touches (12) on the pitch in the first 45, a seemingly quiet Lewa's stuttering 40th minute penalty was the half's most noteworthy touch, sealing the contest for Bayern as per usual.
Bagging 40 goals in all competitions for the 5th season in a row, you'd place your odds on the Polish marksman to beat Gerd Müller's all-time Bundesliga record of 40 goals in the 1971-72 campaign if you were a betting man.
The man scored 5 goals in 9 minutes; the last thing you would want to do is doubt him.
Müller was missed as a No.10
With Hansi Flick opting against Kingsley Coman from the start and not having the injured Philippe Coutinho at his disposal, Thomas Müller operated on the right, with Leon Goretzka occupying the No.10 role. While Bayern's rustiness may be put down to the enforced break after the COVID-19 crisis and understandably so, not having the Bundesliga's outstanding creator behind the striker was also symptomatic of their lack of their urgency.
After all, while Müller may not tick all the boxes one expects a silky No. 10 to, the World Cup winner has a footballing brain beyond belief. His ability to find pockets of space, drag defenders out of position and orchestrate play in the final third was sorely missed. While Goretzka won the decisive penalty and came close to getting on the scoresheet himself, Lewandowski and Bayern, as a unit are accustomed to the genius of Thomas Müller and it would be unfair to expect the former to replicate standards that simply can't be coached.
Union Berlin should be proud of that performance
Work is worship for footballers since they've been knee-high and after a layoff from professional sport as long as any, the prospect of facing a Bayern Munich side first up that became the fastest to score 50 goals in 16 games in Bundesliga history isn't a pleasant one to say the least. Yet, the 12th placed Union Berlin disregarded what was an obvious mismatch on paper and followed Urs Fischer's watertight gameplan to a tee to make life as unpleasant for their visitors. Lining up in a 3-4-3 system, what stood out the most was the incredible work ethic on show from namesakes and wing-back duo, Christopher Trimmel and Christopher Lenz.
Barely giving the daunting Davies and Gnabry as well as Pavard and Müller a sniff on either side, barring a few exceptions, the pair worked their socks off and put in 90 minutes of sheer applause at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
During the initial spells, Union Berlin posed a challenge in the final third as Bayern's high line were given headaches by the likes of Anthony Ujah, Grischa Prömel and Marius Bütler.
Despite the Bavarians coming out on top at the end, there are plenty of positives to take from the Eisorne's structural discipline and adventurous ideation going forward.
Joshua Kimmich was the coolest customer around
Before venturing into defensive midfield, Joshua Kimmich was hands down the best right-back in world football. In his newfound role under Flick's vision, he has arguably been no lesser of a revelation. In what was an overall uncomfortable afternoon for Bayern, Kimmich looked right at home, pinging passes, and pinching the ball forward with the effortlessness Sergio Busquets would be proud of.
Taking 112 touches, making 10 ball recoveries, and completing 79 of his 89 passes, Kimmich looked in cruise control and to top off what already was a complete display, he bagged an immaculate assist to set up Pavard's header and Bayern's two-goal cushion.
So far, Kimmich's Lahm impression would give Jamie Foxx's Mike Tyson impression stiff competition.
Becoming champions is only a matter of time for Bayern
Imagine introducing someone to Hansi Flick's blockbuster Bayern side for the first time against Union Berlin and you'd receive skepticism from someone who hasn't been witness to the astounding brand of football the Bavarians tend to play on most weekends. Yet, a seasoned observer can gauge the fact that despite the challenge posed by the hosts, there laid an underlying sense of control among the uncertainty exuded by Bayern during the contest. Sure, they weren't breathtaking and looked out of ideas at times, but not a soul doubted them to get the job done.
Making mistakes is suicide against the defending champions and Urs Fischer's men perhaps got the harshest reality check when Lewandowski converted from the spot and Pavard doubled their lead in a game where Union Berlin had shut up shop for the most part.
Four points to the good at the top and a habit inevitably kicking in, Bayern's eight successive Bundesliga crown looks like a formality.

Q: Is it possible to change browser address bar behavior with an addon? Is it possible to change address bar behavior with an addon for Chrome and Firefox browsers?
To be more specific, we would like to make an add-on that will search also through our website (where we store the bookmarks of the user).
Right now we achieved it by creating an add-on and a search field comes out when the user presses on it.
However, ideally we would like that results will come directly in the address bar instead, since it's the most natural way for the user.
If that's possible, can you provide me with an add-on that does that in some way?
Thanks!

A: It is not necessary to write a browser addon to do this.
Both Firefox and Chrome can pick up OpenSearch specifications from web pages, allowing the user to add your site as a custom search engine. For details on how to do this, see the OpenSearch home page. It'll work in both browsers with no added work, it doesn't require the user to go off and install anything, and I believe it'll work in Internet Explorer as well. All around I think it's going to be a better solution for you. :)
For an example of this, Stack Overflow has an OpenSearch spec at https://stackoverflow.com/opensearch.xml. If you are using Chrome and type "stackoverflow.com" into the address bar and follow it by a space, you can do a search on the site just like you're describing.

Scottsdale, Arizona —— Left-handed reliever DJ Snelten enjoyed a career year in 2017, splitting the summer session between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento with the San Francisco Giants, who initially drafted the 6'7" reliever out of the University of Minnesota back in 2013. After trying to start some games over several different minor league levels in 2015 and 2016, Snelten was moved back to the bullpen full-time this summer, and it paid off: in 51 total games, the tall lefty finished 8-1 with a 2.20 ERA, allowing just 57 hits and 23 walks while striking out 71 hitters over 73.2 innings pitched at those two levels.
Friendly reminder — don't forget to subscribe to the Baseball Census YouTube channel if you'd like to see thousands more prospect videos and dozens more Arizona Fall League interviews like what we have here on DJ Snelten.
Now that the tall lefty has found some success as a bullpen arm in Triple-A, it's likely he'll challenge for a big league relief role come spring training in a few months' time. Whether he makes the team out of camp or not, the San Francisco Giants have themselves here a workable, situational left-handed reliever with good deception and a few quirks in his stuff and mechanics, all of which create some ability to miss left-handed bats with plane. That alone could help DJ Snelten make some sort of an impact on the big league club before too much longer.

Will A White Supremacist Please Step Forward?

The demand for white supremacists vastly exceeds the supply, which is why we see absurdities like the controversy over military academy students supposedly flashing "white power" signs at the Army-Navy football game. Now, apparently, the age-old "OK" sign means you are a white nationalist, notwithstanding that there are pictures of pretty much everyone in public life giving the sign, like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and nearly everyone else.
Or maybe it only means white supremacy if you give the OK sign upside down. Who decreed this? Who knows? Apparently some goofballs on an obscure site called 4chan invented the idea that the OK sign (or maybe the upside-down OK sign) stands for white supremacy, as a joke. Sort of like Putin's putzing with the 2016 election, they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. And for the same reason: As silly as their effort was, there was an enormous will to believe within the Democratic Party media.
To no one's surprise, two investigations have concluded that the midshipmen and cadets who flashed the "OK" sign were not expressing white nationalist views, but rather were playing "the circle game." Which sounds dumb, but so what?
Of course, that doesn't mean that "OK" hysteria has gone away. On the contrary: School Spends $53K to Reprint Yearbooks Because Students of 'Various Races' Made 'OK' Sign.
A high school in the Chicago suburbs is reprinting its 2018-2019 yearbooks at a cost of more than $50,000 after school officials spotted photos of students making "OK" hand gestures.
The use of the "OK" sign has been tied to white supremacist movements in recent years, though the relevance of the connection is often unclear.
That's putting it mildly! The "tie," as far as I know, is solely via the 4chan prank.
Oak Park River Forest High School, located in the prototypically "limousine liberal" town of Oak Park, will shell out $53,794, negotiated down from $85,000, for the new mementos. According to a letter seen by INSIDER, the yearbook contained 18 photos in which an "upside-down OK sign" was performed by students.
This is all craziness, of course, but it is craziness with a purpose. The Left is desperate to keep its racism narratives alive, no matter how threadbare they may be. Thus we see the New York Times' ridiculous "1619 Project," which recasts American history in a way that no respectable historian would countenance. Does that bother the Times? Not at all. The goal is political, and is focused especially on the 2020 presidential race.
Likewise with the "OK" sign. I don't have a high opinion of the intelligence of the average liberal, but even Democratic Party reporters are not dumb enough to take seriously the idea that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and the many millions more who have given the "OK" sign are closet white supremacists. So what is going on here?
Obviously, as noted above, the demand for white supremacists vastly exceeds the supply. It is vital to the Left's narrative that white racism be alive and well–in fact, that it be an ever-increasing threat. But, obviously, it isn't. If there were real evidence of a white supremacist movement (as opposed to one guy named Spencer who invariably is mentioned when the topic comes up), Democrats would cite that evidence.
But there isn't any. I, personally, know hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people, but as far as I know I have never yet met a white supremacist. So the Democrats are reduced to whipping up enthusiasm among their voters, especially minority voters, with moronic attacks on Academy cadets and midshipmen and high school students. Are black and other minority Americans dumb enough to fall for this transparent ruse? I doubt it.
One thing we can say for sure: white supremacism has declined a long way from the days when it was the lifeblood of the Democratic Party, and Democrats expressed their racist views by hanging people. How much more peaceful it would have been if someone had taught the Democrats the "OK" sign!

Fed funds gave 1st-, 2nd-graders reading boost
Abbe Smith, Register Staff
Published 12:00 am EDT, Tuesday, October 12, 2010
NEW HAVEN -- At-risk first- and second-graders in the city benefited last year from a federal stimulus-financed reading program that gave personalized attention to each student, but it is in jeopardy from lack of funds this year.
The program operated with a budget of just more than $400,000 in stimulus funds, but school officials are looking for other ways to pay for it so more students can benefit from the personalized reading attention.
"These children are very fragile. If we can intercede and do early intervention in grades 1 and 2, we would be saving them for everything: (a lower) dropout rate, success in life," said Patricia D'Amore, reading supervisor for the district.
The program, called Modified Reading Recovery Intervention, matches three students with one certified teacher for 30 minutes a day, four days a week. Two coaches are dedicated to monitoring the program and keeping track of student success throughout.
The $400,000 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was used mostly to hire about 56 part-time certified teachers to work in classrooms in all of the district's elementary schools. An additional $20,000 in stimulus money was used to purchase supplies for the programs, such as books, magnetic letters and pocket charts.
Each day, students were introduced to a new book, but they also spent time reading books they know.
"We want to accelerate their ability to read so every day they are reading familiar books and they are getting a new book," said Elaine Parsons, who facilitates the MORRI program.
Kids read fiction and nonfiction books ranging from myths and fairy tales to informative texts about subjects like volcanoes or animals.
They all received a book to take home overnight to read to family members. The next day, time is set aside to discuss the books. "They love the program," Parsons said.
D'Amore said the program has been hugely successful.
Testing data collected from students who participated in MORRI last year show first-grade girls achieved 11 percent growth from fall to spring. Boys in the same grade grew by about 5 percent.
In the second grade, girls showed 22 percent growth and boys 19 percent. Data even showed progress being made toward closing the achievement gap, with black males showing a gain of 13 percent in grade 2.
"Now we want to start tracking these students as they more forward and take the CMTs," D'Amore said, referring to the Connecticut Mastery Test that students take starting in the third grade.
"Unfortunately this year because we don't have the money, we are having a slow start to the program," said D'Amore.

Tomato Masters, of Deinze, Belgium, is producing tomatoes on an organic substrate in response to a discussion with its retail client. Now the cluster tomatoes are promoted in the store as a tasty local Belgian product 'grown in rich ground'. Crop manager Tom Vlaemynck explains the difference between production on rockwool and an organic substrate.
Tomato Masters was founded in 2012 and in the meantime has acquired the entire designated horticultural zone of 36 ha in Deinze, East Flanders. The company is run by the brothers Herman, Dirk and Johan, Tom (Dirk's son) and Tim (Herman's son) Vlaemynck. They originate from Poesele, where they still have a nursery of 3 ha and where their history goes back to 1966. However, that location was too small for five managers so they decided to extend some 12 kilometres further away. At the moment this comprises 10.5 ha of glasshouses so there is space for considerable growth.
The large cluster tomato Merlice is grown in Poesele. Plum, cherry and middle-sized cluster tomatoes of the tasty variety, Foundation, are grown in Deinze. The latter is produced on the organic substrate (6.3 ha), the other varieties on rockwool (4.5 ha).
The growers already had experience with the organic Greenyard Grow Bag at the old nursery. However, when Tom Vlaemynck joined and had responsibility for the cultivation they went back to rockwool. "I didn't want to take any risks; I knew all about rockwool. Also, we weren't maximising yield on the organic slabs," he says.
Research is being carried out by the provincial research centre for vegetable production (PCG) in East-Flanders, Belgium, to establish the right strategy at the start of the crop, says Hans Baekelmans, of the substrate supplier. "The weight of the rockwool slab has to drop at the start of the cultivation before you start to drain. The weight of the organic substrate should remain stable. It's a completely different way of production," says the grower.
Because the plant is placed directly in the hole it produces more roots faster. "It gets off to a very quick start," he says. You can pick up real speed after the second cluster whereas on rockwool you have to be restrained for a little longer," he says. However, despite the flying start he wasn't able to achieve a higher yield. That could have been due to the conditions during the spring of 2016. "The weather didn't help at the start of the crop. Perhaps you'd gain more from the larger root system if there was a lot more light," he says.
He didn't notice any difference in the quality of the tomatoes grown on the two types of substrates.
The fact that this is organic material and is recyclable means that the substrate complies with Carrefour's FQC-label (FQC = Filière Qualité Carrefour). This label promises to supply consumers with an authentic product of good taste and constant quality produced with respect for the environment in a sustainable relationship between buyer and producer. At the moment five vegetable producers can carry the FQC label: In addition to the cluster tomatoes are asparagus, open field chicory, potatoes and special carrots grown on loamy soil.
The retailer's interest in crops from soil (in this case potting soil) was the decisive factor for the growers to choose an organic substrate. On the other hand they receive a small extra price for these tomatoes. They are presented in boxes in a single layer which has space for nine clusters. A label on the box describes why the tomatoes are so special and the photo of Tom Vlaemynck shows where they come from. He also plays the leading role in a promotion film that is shown in the stores. And so he is gradually becoming a well-known Fleming.
The label requires compliance with a special set of specifications. As well as the points already mentioned it is necessary to keep a record of the amount of water and chemical substances used. The nursery uses only rainwater and biological crop protection. No chemical substances have been used since planting.
An organic substrate can more quickly develop a very varied soil life that encourages plant resilience. This can be a tool to combat against crazy roots and was the reason for a large Dutch tomato grower to recently switch to these grow bags. However, crazy roots were not a problem for Tomato Masters. The grower does pay attention to soil resilience and after a discussion with Koppert Biological Systems decided to add Trichoderma to the substrate; this fungus colonises well in the organic environment.
All-in-all Vlaemynck finds growing on an organic substrate very similar to production on rockwool except for the initial period when a completely different approach to watering is needed.
Tomato Masters, of Deinze, Belgium, grows a large proportion of its tomatoes on an organic substrate because this is of extra value to the customer who sells the product under a special label. In the beginning the substrate requires a completely different watering strategy to rockwool but after the first phase there is little difference in the cultivation. In future it may be possible to gain more from the fast growth at the beginning.

Our office has been receiving a large increase in the number of urgent calls from customers after finding active Termites in their home. We have seen holes in walls where termites have eaten through the Gyprock. Our pest technicians have also identified a large increase in the number of active Termite nests out in surrounding.
You may have voided your builders warranty.
If you're the owner of a newly constructed home, your builders warranty may be void if you neglect to maintain annual termite inspections. What does this mean? Technically it means that your builder could get out fixing your home under warranty if there is a problem with your home, even if it were not caused by Termite damage.
Your building and contents insurance won't cover you for termite damage.
That's right, your major investment and belongings could be severely damaged by Termites and you won't be covered by your insurance. Most people wouldn't dream of owning a home without insurance. Yet there's a moderate percentage of home owners that do not get annual termite inspection regardless of the fact that there is a much greater risk that a Queensland home will be damaged by Termites than by fire, flood, or natural disaster.
Termites are natures wrecking ball.
Their destructive powers would be awe inspiring if it wasn't so threatening to people's homes and investments. Termites (also known as white ants) are not only destructive, but they're sneaky. They eat homes from the inside out, meaning they eat the internals of a home without leaving visible signs on the outside or living areas. Although Termites predominately eat wood, they have been known to eat through Gyprock. They also manage to find ways into steel framed homes to find wooden structures and furniture to eat.
What you should do if you find termites?
Leave them alone! Seriously, leave them alone. Don't touch them, don't try to kill them, just let them be and call a pest professional. You may think "They're eating my home, why would I not try to kill them?" Good question. The answer comes down to how to effectively eliminate termites. Termites live in complex social structures, and are in constant contact with one another. They love to groom one another, and dispose of their dead, diseased and unwanted colony members by eating them (why not!?). The leading product on the market for Termites is Termidor, which exploits this fact and works through transference. Basically each Termite spreads the Termidor to any other Termite that it comes in contact with. Therefore, the effectiveness of your treatment will increase with the number of active Termites that can be sprayed directly with Termidor.
Does spraying active Termites protect my home?
Unfortunately, no, it's not quite that simple. To effectively protect your home there needs to be some type of chemical barrier installed around your entire home. There are a number of different ways that this can be achieved, but they all have a couple of common requirements. For the barrier to prevent the ingress of termites, it has to be a complete and continual barrier. Think of it as a moat around a castle. The moat is rendered completely ineffective it there is even one land bridge (or tree bridge).

Books #24-33
Abbreviating and occasionally omitting reviews this time. I've got a long list here.
#24: Monster vol. 4 by Naoki Urasawa
Another volume of the manga, and the story has reached a sort of status quo that I imagine will carry through a good chunk of the series - Tenma on Johan's trail, going from town to town and helping people. Of course, Johan's not the only force of evil in the story either.
#25: Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba
#26: Spider's Thrash (Transmetropolitan, vol. 7) by Warren Ellis
#27: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Another one from the 1001 list. I'm pretty impressed with this one, of course. Nabokov easily builds sympathy for the narrator, in spite of how broken he is - and often because of it, as he occasionally has lucid moments of self-awareness. The plot is characterized by a sense of tension that increases and tightens over the entire book; the narrator's declaration in the first paragraph that he is a murderer always stays in the back of the reader's mind, and so it's apparent from page one that things are going to end horribly - it's just a question of how. Dramatic tension builds, tension between the narrator and his lover builds, and his life can't contain it - one by one things start to snap.
If I ever get back to writing, there are a few tricks I've observed here that I'd like to try sometime...
#28: The Hidden Family (Merchant Princes, vol. 2) by Charles Stross
#29: Galileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson
A slightly fictionalized biography of Galileo, except that he occasionally gets yanked forward a millennium and a half to mediate some problems on the Galilean moons of Jupiter. As a biography it was fascinating and extremely well-written, but I had some trouble following the storyline around Jupiter, and I'm not entirely sure what the point of it was. Still worth the read, though.
#30: The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
Also from the 1001 list. As the prototype of noir, I'm actually a little surprised by how non-cliched it felt. The tropes are there in full force, of course, but the story avoided the sort of predictability that tends to come with heavy use of cliches.
I've been on a mystery kick lately, and while this doesn't quite play by that formula, it still fit what I was looking for quite well.
#31: The Catiline Conspiracy (SPQR II) by John Maddox Roberts
While the last SPQR book was more or less a straight-up murder mystery, this one wasn't really anything of the sort, despite the plot starting off with a string of murders. Rather, it moved a little more into the "political intrigue" area that the last book touched upon. I don't mind that; what I did mind was the way the plot just sort of trailed off into a quiet conclusion. I was expecting some twists and turns in the climax of the book, but there weren't really any - things just fell out in the way they had been set up already. So that was mildly disappointing. Hopefully the third one (which I already have) will be better.
#32: The Last Theorem by Arthur C. Clarke and Frederick Pohl
I'm not really sure how to describe the plot here, other than that it involves an obsession with Fermat's Last Theorem (and the idea that Fermat must have had a proof that was much simpler than Wiles' proof by elliptical curves), humans going into space, an attempt at enforcing world peace, and aliens. Conventional ideas of plot pacing have been pretty much discarded here; the protagonist bounces around from event to event in his life, with thematic threads connecting them but very little in the way of a dramatic arc. But life does work that way, and it was certainly an interesting read.
#33: The Age of Zeus by James Lovegrove
About a decade ago, the Greek gods returned, and started directly enforcing their will on humanity in a divine-wrath version of "peace through superior firepower". A lot of people aren't happy about how this all went down, and a billionaire with an axe to grind assembles a team of people with both the desire to take down the Olympians and the military/police experience necessary to make a good strike force, and outfits them with a vast amount of combat technology.
It's mythology-flavored military-SF candy, but that's fine by me. At the very least, it's well-written and only gets handwavy in a couple places (i.e. anything having to do with how the Olympians' powers actually work). Apparently it's actually the second book in a loosely-connected series, following The Age of Ra, so I may have to check that one out.

Certain fields, like birthday and date, must be formatted in a specific way. For example, to add a birthday field to your MailChimp list, dates should be formatted in your spreadsheet as MM/DD (Month/Day). Read our format guidelines for more tips about special fields.
You've got your file set up correctly, so now you'll log in to your MailChimp account and use our List Import Builder to upload your file.
To upload your subscribed contacts to MailChimp, follow these steps.
If your last import was a CSV with the same columns, you can click Use settings from last import, which will allow you to skip steps 7-11.
Check the box next to I understand that my billing plan may be automatically upgraded. Your account will only be upgraded if your list import causes your subscriber count to exceed your current billing plan.
Click Next to go to the Import Subscribers step and match the columns in your import file to the fields in your MailChimp list.
Click Save for the Email Address column. We automatically match the column in your import file that contains email addresses to the required Email Address field in your list.
On the second column, check that the column name and field type are correct, and click Save. Or click the drop-down menu to select a different field type. To create a new column in your list, choose New Column Name.
The editing pane for each column includes the current column name, field type, and example data from your list, for your reference. To exclude a column from the final import, click Skip.
Repeat Step 9 for all unmatched columns. You must match or skip all columns to complete your import. After you're finished matching, we'll display a success message.
On the You're all set to import! screen, review the settings for your import. Be sure to keep the Subscribed option selected.
After the import is finished, we'll send a notification to the email address associated with your username. Be sure to check out the Lists page in your account to see all your new subscribers.
Subscribers who are imported to a list don't go through the signup process, so you'll need to verify that you have permission to email them. Imported subscribers don't receive any signup response emails or the Final welcome email.
When you import new subscribers to an existing list, we'll remove any duplicate, bounced, or unsubscribed addresses that are already stored in the list.
Because all lists in MailChimp are independent of each other, we can't detect duplicates, bounces, or unsubscribes across multiple lists. If you have duplicate subscribers in different lists, you may find it helpful to combine your lists into a master list that uses groups.
