Venture High: reimagining high school, one grade at a time
During a recent round of morning check-ins, Principal Derek Davidson called over one of his ninth-graders who'd been absent a few days.
Setting his backpack up on the table, the student showed Davidson some of the gay-pride buttons he'd received from a workshop he'd attended, where he was able to safely explore his gender identity.
Beaming while he recounted the sessions, he told Davidson, "I feel confident in who I am."
They took a moment to celebrate the proclamation, then Davidson brought their conversation back to academics. The student admitted he was feeling really behind and was struggling to find motivation.
Davidson coaxed the conversation along, asking him to self-reflect and figure out what was draining his motivation at school.
After fidgeting with the buttons on his backpack for a bit, he offered up an honest answer in a lowered voice. "I've been having a really huge problem at home and it's affecting my school work," he said.
He went on to explain that he's been trying to come to school with a positive attitude, but he's dealing with a drunk father at home. When they get into confrontations, he gets angry. That anger is followed by a lingering sense of guilt — and it all gets in the way of being able to focus on schoolwork.
Davidson gets it. He grew up with an alcoholic, drug-addicted father, who spent time in prison. But he found a way to manage the feelings of anger that threatened to hold him back and eventually started pouring his energy into the things he did have control over.
"There is hope your life can be yours, aside from those problems," Davison told his student.
It's the sort of advice he offers up often at Venture High, a Minneapolis public charter school located on University Avenue that serves students who, typically, have had an adverse experience with school elsewhere. Here, strong educator-student relationships allow for a unique approach to student learning that prioritizes personalized learning and entrepreneurship.
"We believe there's an acceleration of learning when kids feel safe; and we've seen it," Davidson said.
A new high school
Venture High currently serves 72 students in the ninth grade. It's an extension of Venture Academy, the 6-8 middle school housed in the same building that opened its doors for the 2013-14 school year.
The middle school has gained a fair amount of recognition over the years, as one of 20 schools nationwide to be awarded a $450,000 Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Next Generation Learning Challenges start-up grant. Also, a team of four Venture students took first place, over 10 teams of adults, at a local startup design competition last spring.
Keeping in line with the middle-school model, Venture High is designed to allow for innovation and independent learning. Physically, that means breaking from the traditional classroom model, where students are expected to sit at an assigned desk and learn in step with their peers.
To encourage more self-regulated learning, Davidson devoted the majority of the modest space to an open commons area with tables and chairs. Here, aided by their personalized learning dashboards on their laptops, students can manage their workflow in a way that best suits their needs — whether it be building in YouTube video brain breaks, going back to re-do an old assignment for a better grade, or tackling an assignment that's above grade level.
The personalized learning software the school uses was developed by a team of Facebook engineers out west. Venture is the only pilot school in Minnesota, so it's often hosting visitors — both those curious to see the new tool and those trained to help work out the kinks.
This flexibility for students to learn at their own pace, coupled with strong teacher relationships and high expectations, allows Venture to meet the needs of a wide range of students. Roughly a third of the ninth-grade class are English Language Learners, 27 percent receive special education services, and over 90 percent live in poverty. Then there are the layers of trauma that many of these students are faced with as well.
"There's lots of students with significant mental health or home challenges," Jon Bacal, a founder of the school, said. "Those aren't excuses for anything. They are realities, however, that relate strongly to school outcomes."
On average, students enrolling in Venture start out three to four years below grade level, Bacal said. Despite this, they've seen good growth in math and reading — over 200 percent growth in both reading and math by the second school year. But proficiency scores remain well below the level of their peers statewide.
It's something staff are working hard to address. But in the drive to make academic gains, they're careful not to lose sight of the value of creativity and real-world work experiences. That's why the high school model is one part project-based curriculum and one part internship exploration.
Projects and internships
Each trimester, teachers combine two core subject areas for eight weeks of foundational learning. Once students have a solid grasp on the content, they have three weeks to work on a project that will be on display the final week during a showcase event.
Currently, students are wrapping up a unit called "Darwin's dystopia," which involved writing a dystopian narrative based in evolutionary change. Depending on each student's reading level, they were assigned one of three novels so that they all had access to the core academic skills, along with the higher-order thinking tasks that are tied to the unit.
In addition to writing a dystopian narrative, each student spent time creating an artifact, using the materials available in the school's makerspace — which is equipped with a 3D printer, electronics, tools, art supplies and more.
On Nov. 17, the middle-schoolers, parents, community members and students from other schools are invited to come see their projects on display at the school.
Offering a preview of his project, Jesus Castillo Palacios said human evolution, in his story, is based on adaptations that result from the collision of two nuclear missiles and the nuclear fallout. To avoid radioactive soil and rain, humans are forced to live in tree houses to survive.
"It seemed more realistic than the sun exploding or for the earth to stop rotating, especially with what's going on nowadays with science technology getting better and more nuclear bombs being made," he said.
He still doesn't know how his story will end, he said, but he's nearly done with the unit. Pulling up his personalized learning dashboard on his laptop, he can see what scores he's received for various cognitive skills like being able to compare and contrast, and to come up with a central idea and develop supporting evidence.
All of these things translate to college and career readiness — the ultimate goal of all secondary schools. At Venture High, however, the emphasis is placed on the latter. Instead of framing a four-year degree as a necessity, school leaders are focused on unlocking students' passions by exposing them to various career paths and helping them assess the most pragmatic route to getting there.
"The idea is that we want kids to have a plan for what they do from here," Davidson said. "We feel that, potentially, kids could draw a straighter line to that goal."
That's where the school's fledgling internship program comes into play. Margaret Holland, the high school partnership coordinator, is finalizing the various orientation materials that will cover everything from résumé building to how to dress for an interview. By early April, the hope is that every student will be interning off-site two days a week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In the span of eight weeks, they'll complete a project that adds value to the business or organization.
As the high school expands to 10th grade, next year — and all the way to 12th grade, if all goes according to plan — the internship element will become more central. Students will complete as many 10-week internships as they want, spending two days each week exploring a different post-secondary option.
"We want them to leave our school with a real network of professionals they can reach out to after school," Holland said.
As far as high school internship models go, it's a fairly aggressive model. But leadership at Venture High see it as a distinguishing factor that will give its students — those who are vastly underserved by the traditional public education system — not only a sense of agency, but also a realistic shot at making a living wage doing something they find fulfilling.
"We need to have a lot more young people better prepared for their futures," Bacal said. "That's why we started this school."

It's encouraging
…that the staff seems to understand that a college degree is not the be-all and end-all goal for every kid. I like the "multiple career paths" approach, and my own experience as a teacher/advisor was that many high school kids, including seniors, didn't have a real idea of what they wanted to do with their lives, and were a long way from making a firm decision along those lines.
Having worked in one for years, I'm perennially skeptical about "flexible learning" and "self-paced" learning environments. It's difficult to make such environments academically rigorous, and the effort required of staff easily leads toward burnout, but we'll see how this attempt plays out. If the school is still around, with pretty much the same staff, and graduating talented seniors, in a decade, then we'll know they've figured out a way to maintain that rigor while avoiding the burnout-inducing stress that tends to accompany flexible models. If they can do that, the model may be worth emulating elsewhere.
Do so agree, Ray
A fully mis-begotten flex-mod scheme drove me away from a nearly perfect early career teaching Speech (as a required subject, at that!) to 10-12th. It was a joy of perfect principle, including mixed age audience in most sections. One year after I left, parents voted out two School Board members, and the new Board dismissed the administrator who had brought the scheme to town. Many years later I met up with two of my very former students, then well into adulthood...both gifted in brains and talent. They laughed, then, while telling me all this, also admitting they and many students essentially lost a year of learning.
It is absolutely not possible to learn and practice the fundamental communication elements of public speaking (including performance fear/anxiety) without an audience, or with an audience of perhaps two--and never in 10 minute mods. This was a required course, remember. I never ever knew where some 80% of "my students" disappeared during that plague.
This approach works well for some students
The St Paul Open School, a k-12 district school, began using this approach in fall, 1971. The school received an award from the US Dept of Education several years later as a "carefully evaluated, proven innovation worthy of national replication."
Open School evolved into "Open World" which remains a St.Paul Public School. It often has a waiting list and has appeared at various times recently, as among the best public schools in Minnesota.
Avalon Charter in St. Paul and Minnesota New Country in Henderson are two other schools using many of these personalized, project based approaches.
This approach works well for some students.

The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
Species of Merismatium differ from Polyblastia only by their lichenicolous lifestyle. Known to grow on the thallus of Protoblastenia calva and P. rupestris on limestone rock the species is much under-recorded in Ireland. The submuriform spores (1315µm long) lack a surrounding perispore and contain approximately three to four cells. Places such as the Burren contain the ideal habitats to enable you to get to know this species.

TREATMENT FOR EATING DISORDERS, BODY IMAGE DISTURBANCE, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and more...
If you are visiting my website because you are contemplating making a change, looking for help for someone you love, or just out of curiosity, welcome! I hope you find something within to inspire positive change in you or your loved ones life.
I have been treating eating and related disorders in adults and adolescents since 2003. I have worked with people who are depressed, anxious, suffering from traumas, addictions and eating disorders, having difficulty in relationships, and those who are suffering from obsessive negative thoughts that rule their daily lives.
Creating positive change takes belief in yourself and others. Entering into treatment or therapy is a journey of self-exploration that can lead to healing and finding the power within to be the best you can be.
There are many things in our lives that diminish our power to create the best version of ourselves. These things can include (but are not limited to) avoidance of pain or negative feelings, daily stresses and anxiety, unhealthy relationships (including our relationship with food and body), physical problems, worry and fear about the future, feeling victimized by past events, emotional distress and the list goes on and on.
Psychotherapy can help to develop insight into the unconscious processes that result in unwanted behaviors, or the negative thought patterns that drive unwanted behaviors. While behavior change is not easy, it is possible when we are able to confront the past and be present and experience our life in the moment.
If you feel ready to create positive change in your life, or you are a parent of a child who wants to create positive change, I hope I can help guide you or your loved one on their path to creating the life they want to live.

April 5, 2013 (CHICAGO) --A teenager was sexually assaulted in the 1600-block of North Hermitage in Chicago's Wicker Park - Bucktown community.
They say the girl, 16, was walking down the street Tuesday around 9 p.m. when a man forced her into the backseat of his SUV and attacked her. Police say he was wearing a ski mask and the girl was not able to get a good description of the suspect.
Police issued a community alert.

"How are we going to get home?" asked Tommy, Kelly's little brother, who was standing between Kelly and me, shivering in the night. And I couldn't admit to him then (because I'd lived fifteen years to his eleven—a teenager, after all) that I was wondering the same thing. I tried to make my speechlessness seem as calm as the pure adult vodka vomit hitting the snow next to the car in beige waves.
Earlier that night, the three of us had agreed to go with Tommy and Kelly's dad, Ed, to a Polish disco. Kelly's mom couldn't go because she had to work a late waitressing shift. So we went. We'd been bored, there were no parties that night, and Ed's offer of dancing and staying out late was as good as it would get for two girls who weren't old enough to drive. Plus, there was always the chance of cute boys.
So imagine our dismay upon discovering the Polish disco was actually a fiftieth birthday party thrown for one of Ed's work buddies. Not a cute boy in sight. Just middle-aged women with maroon hair and sequined tops shaking it to "I Will Survive." So, Kelly and Tommy and I spent the evening dissecting tinsel "Over the Hill" centerpieces as Ed, the life of the party, got Old-World wasted.
Kelly and I met in the sixth grade when she was the new kid at St. Priscilla's. We became best friends fast, even though we were so different—she the cute, outgoing basketball player, me the introverted Stephen King freak.
From the beginning, I thought Kelly was charmed. She was the only girl in a family with three boys, and so, she had this special connection with her mom, Grace, who kept Kelly's closet well-stocked with Cavaricci pants and IOU sweatshirts, and, basically, let her do whatever as long as she got up for church on Sunday morning. Once we had to write a paper about our favorite person, famous or not. I chose Stephen King, of course. Kelly chose her mom.
Our freshman year of high school, Kelly got contacts, started plucking her eyebrows, and became suddenly, annoyingly beautiful. Every single boy liked her, which made my social life a fiery pit of raging jealousy. Especially because I still had braces with rubber bands and the Ogilvie home perm that my well-intentioned grandma had used to destroy my hair.
But Kelly was goofy and seemed to really like me, so I could never hold her looks against her. We made up nicknames for our teachers. For Sister Marie: Sister Fuck-Me. For Mrs. Capasso: Mrs. Fat Asshole. For Mrs. White (our sweet, pregnant math teacher, who loved to wear yellow): The Golden Egg. We were obsessed with Far and Away, the 1992 movie starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as Irish immigrants named "Joseph" and "Shannon," which is what Kelly and I called each other constantly. Just like this: "Hello, Joseph!" "How are you, Shannon?!" And everyone hated us for it.
We shared a passion for Jewel—not the singer, but the grocery store. We would ride our bikes there after school, buy raw chocolate chip cookie dough, and down the whole tube out on the curb next to the shopping carts.
I loved Kelly. I thought her life was so perfect. Until the Chateau Rose. Because even though my dad and I fought like rulers of warring countries, he would've never done what Kelly's dad did that night.
In the parking lot, Ed turned from the bank of snow and said, "We go home now." His lips were slick, his accent not only Polish but drunk. He stumbled toward the driver's side door.
"I'm not getting in the car with him," I said, thinking it was under my breath, but Ed heard. He looked at me bleary-eyed. "You get in car, I take you home." He was fumbling with his keys.
"Dad, you can't drive us," Kelly said.
"What? Stupid … I take you home."
"No, Dad. You can't."
Then he turned to Kelly, his face suddenly red, teeth bared. And after dropping his keys in the snow, he charged at her. But he lost his footing; his hulking body dropped on the snow and wet asphalt just as we all stepped back, out of the way.
"Let's get him in the car," Kelly said cool as the snow now frosting her dad's hair. Now this was before cell phones, and it never occurred to us to go back to the party and ask for help. It was like we had to do this. So Tommy and I hurried to her side. Somehow we dragged his 200-something pounds of dead weight into the backseat, and I realized, for the first time, how heavy an adult can be.
I hadn't started Driver's Ed. yet, but Kelly had. She'd recently told me that, after years of boasting about how she couldn't wait to drive, she was actually terrified of it, imagining losing control, crashing into a brick wall. But that night she got into the driver's seat. She put her hands on the wheel, took a deep breath.
I said, "You can do it, Kell."
It's this night I thought of eight years later, the night I heard that Kelly's mom, Grace—her favorite person in the whole world—was missing. Kelly and I were still friends, but rarely talked. At twenty-three, she was newly married, living in the suburbs, still going to church every Sunday—a life that was the antithesis of everything I wanted. We were always different, but by then our differences seemed to matter.
I heard about Kelly's missing mom through the grapevine—Grace had been gone for over twenty-four hours. No one could find her. No one had heard from her. My sister and I watched a news report on TV, and there was my former best friend, the pretty, outgoing jock, looking frantic, swollen, a flier with her mom's photo on it was pasted on a streetlamp behind her. "She's the glue of our family," Kelly was saying to the reporter. "If anyone knows anything, please … "
Watching the segment, my brain raced: maybe Grace had just snapped. Maybe she'd gotten fed up with her marriage and her job, and since her kids were mostly grown, she said fuck it, I'm moving to Hawaii. I was terrified to call Kelly, but when I finally got the nerve that night, I listened to her; "She's gone," she cried, "she's gone." We both knew it was much worse than a midlife crisis.
Three weeks later, the funeral mass for Grace was held in the church across the street from the funeral parlor where she'd worked and was murdered by a nineteen-year-old co-worker. The co-worker was gay and Grace, a devout Catholic, reportedly questioned him about his homosexuality. The questioning escalated into an argument, which escalated into him strangling her, stabbing her multiple times, and stuffing her body into the floorboards of his apartment.
At the funeral mass, I saw the back of Kelly's dad, Ed, slumped in the front pew. He was gray-faced and stoic, the opposite of the life of the Polish Disco. He didn't get up to speak, but Kelly did. Clutching a statue of the Virgin Mary to her chest, she stood there speechless for several minutes.
Behind me I heard the words, "You can do it, Kell." But this time, it wasn't me saying them.
After Kelly's mom was murdered, I wanted to be there for her. I wanted to take the keys and drive her to safety like she did for us that night at the Chateau Rose. I wanted to be there for her like we were fifteen. If it were then, I would've slept over every night so that when she woke up afraid, or convinced her mom was still alive only to be spit in the face by the dark of her mom's forever absence, at least she wouldn't be alone.
I would've made her Campbell's Cream of Chicken and Jewel bakery bread rolls. I would've fed her cookie dough straight from the tube or spoonfuls of pure sugar because she liked those, too. I would've been her pillow, her Kleenex, her photographs, her clean clothes, her basketball court and her backyard pool in the summer, but I couldn't. I still can't.
I used to think it was because I was afraid, that I wasn't brave enough to witness Kelly's pain, to be at the front lines with her. And I used to feel guilty about it. But actually, our relationship now, as it is, is perfect.
Because now—ten and a half years since the murder, and still with nothing in common—we actually get together once in a while. We talk a little about our current lives—jobs, families, her good but hard-won relationship with her dad.
But we both know we're just waiting to get to the good stuff—the memories, the stupid shit we did when we were twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Fat Asshole and The Golden Egg, Jewel, and "Joseph" and "Shannon" —and we laugh. We laugh so hard that we're hysterical, both of us red-faced and sniveling. And it's like we're remembering and forgetting everything that happened. The pain of that laughter curling our edges, peeling us back, reminding us that we're old friends. Which means we know exactly what we need from each other, the only thing we need from each other: the occasional dose of the joy, ridiculousness, and valor of our fifteen-year-old hearts.

By Courtney White, Brian McDermott and Robert Seidler December 7, 2017, 10:17 AM ESTLaw360, New York (December 7, 2017, 10:17 AM EST) -- So it begins — the annual holiday marathon. But which holidays come to mind? Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus? The answer may differ depending on a host of factors, such as an individual's family traditions, cultural upbringing or religious beliefs. As we prepare holiday to-do and shopping lists, employers should remember the legal obligations for recognizing, addressing and accommodating employees' religious needs. Below is a list of five considerations to keep top of mind this season and year-round to stay off the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's naughty...

Encounters difficulty in acquiring an education and in all matters pertaining to books and studies.
The retentive or memorizing faculty needs developing even though memory of events is strong.
The aspect signifies great sorrow through death of brethren for father, probably both, or their ill health, separation or estrangement from them, although not necessarily through quarrels, but more as the result of circumstances.
Trouble is occasioned through slander, false reports, forged letters or documents, unfriendly writings, delayed and misunderstood letters, and the subject may himself cause difficulty through these things. The effect on the nature is to make one sarcastic, bitter, impulsive and somewhat dissembling with periods of gloom, pessimism or exasperation, grave anxiety, worry, constant disturbance of the mind, errors or judgment, caused by fear, circumstances, lack of initiative, procrastination and continuos restriction of action. This lead the mind to meditate and endeavor to discover the reason for these undesirable manifestations, and from the attitude one may be prone to seek recourse in the study of Occult subjects and spiritual philosophy, and thus improve his responses to the aspect.
If either planet be in or rule the Third or Ninth House it gives and inclination for science and Occult learning, which considerably improves the reaction to this aspect, but still there is liability to loss through failure, theft, fraud and deception; difficulty or loss in employment or thorough lack of employment, poor health often interfering; troubles through neighbors, servants, societies, associations, messengers, travelers, and by things ruled by the sign and house occupied.

One of the Male Sexual Aspects, it creates the ultimate high energy level, generates more pure energy than any other aspect, and rates as a Super Sports Champion Aspect (a term from Astrology Really Works!). But the Chiron -Mars aspect does not help coordination in the way the Venus-Mars aspect does. The native needs aspects that help coordination in order to most beneficially harness the energy this aspect provides. If the aspect in not well used and controlled through moral teachings, there can be constant moral slippage toward excessive aggressiveness, and even belligerency.

Indiana woman dies from electrocution in flooded basement
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Authorities in South Bend say a woman has died after she was electrocuted in her flooded St. Joseph County home.
Deputy Coroner Dr. Michael O'Connell tells the South Bend Tribune that 54-year-old Sandra Sharp was taken off life support Monday. Two days earlier she was found unconscious in her rural home's flooded basement.
St. Joseph County police assistant chief Bill Thompson says police and emergency medical responders found Sharp about 4:30 a.m. Saturday in about 6 inches of water. They performed CPR and she was hospitalized.
Police believe Sharp was electrocuted just after going to clear water from the basement following heavy rain on Friday night. Thompson says the electrical charge may have come from a box fan found near the woman.

Sell Retail Without using Your Own Salons Cash Flow
All Salon Owners have issues at some time of the year with cash flow. Keeping this never ending issue, sometimes having to rob 'Peter to Pay Paul' can be tedious and a sign that the Salon owner has real issues keeping their head above water.
Using someone else's money is always easier using your own, this is why we decided to adapt using this very system in our Salons.
How do you think that shops like Walmart run their businesses? Do you think for one minute that they buy everything, not a chance.
Every salon owner can sometimes struggle with keeping correct stock levels in the salon at some-time or other. They rely on the income from these to boost their Salons profits.
Also selling old unwanted stock quickly can also be problematic.
Cash Flow is every Salons headache and this will assist you.
The really tricky thing is how to keep the stock levels on your shelves high, but then you have the same old issue week after week what about cash flow! If you would like to read more

BOY George has gone on the offensive again - this time letting rip at Little Britain star Matt Lucas.
The gay singer has already had a go at Madonna, Elton John and George Michael.
Lucas was in the London cast of George's musical Taboo, about the early Eighties club scene.
The former Culture Club star complained to the Radio Times magazine: "He wouldn't talk about his sexuality, although he's now made the queerest show in Britain.
"I found him prissy, a niggly diva."
Last week George, who works as a club DJ and lives in New York, blasted Elton John for duetting with rapper Eminem, who has been criticised for his homophobic lyrics.
Now he has had another go, saying Sir Elton lacks a sense humour.
He said: "Elton John is like our headmaster, the grand old dame of pop, with a beautiful voice but living in an ornate bubble, full of fresh flowers, surrounded by people who nod and laugh at everything he says, and he doesn't have a sense of humour."
Last week the singer accused Madonna of being a hypocrite for using the gay community to boost her career.
He said the Kabbalah religion, to which she has converted, was opposed to homosexuality.
And he has a further dig at George Michael in the Radio Times, saying when he started out the Wham! singer was "so desperate to be famous, he feared that if fans discovered he was 'a true Greek' it would all end in tears".
Boy George slams 'prissy' Little Britain star

|Search treatments and conditions
Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. It is commonly associated with diseases such as SLE, scleroderma, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis. Drugs, complement deficiencies, viral, bacterial and protozoan infections have all been implicated.
Immune complexes are formed when antigens bind to antibodies. If not excessive, and assuming a healthy immune response, these complexes are usually cleared from the circulation by the phagocytic system. These responses are usually delayed, occurring hours or even days after exposure to the antigen, from whatever source. When these complexes persist in the circulation, their interaction with platelets result in the release of vasoactive amines. Vasoactive amines cause increased vessel permeability, platelet aggregation (clotting) and initiation of the arachidonic acid cascade (inflammation). These immune complexes can also settle out within the postcapillary venules, with subsequent tissue inflammation, irritation and damage by complement activation, more inflammatory cells coming to the area and destructive lysosomal enzyme release.
|Weak or unproven link
|Proven definite or direct link
|Very strongly or absolutely counter-indicative

|Likely to help
Allergen: A substance that is capable of producing an allergic response in the body.
Angina: Angina pectoris. Severe, restricting chest pain with sensations of suffocation caused by temporary reduction of oxygen to the heart muscle through narrowed diseased coronary arteries.
Antibody: A type of serum protein (globulin) synthesized by white blood cells of the lymphoid type in response to an antigenic (foreign substance) stimulus. Antibodies are complex substances formed to neutralize or destroy these antigens in the blood. Antibody activity normally fights infection but can be damaging in allergies and a group of diseases that are called autoimmune diseases.
Antigen: A substance, usually protein or protein-sugar complex in nature, which, being foreign to the bloodstream or tissues of an animal, stimulates the formation of specific blood serum antibodies and white blood cell activity. Re-exposure to similar antigen will reactivate the white blood cells and antibody programmed against this specific antigen.
Arthritis: Inflammation of a joint, usually accompanied by pain, swelling, and stiffness, and resulting from infection, trauma, degenerative changes, metabolic disturbances, or other causes. It occurs in various forms, such as bacterial arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, is characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage and often an overgrowth of bone at the joints.
Chronic: Usually Chronic illness: Illness extending over a long period of time.
Cirrhosis: A long-term disease in which the liver becomes covered with fiber-like tissue. This causes the liver tissue to break down and become filled with fat. All functions of the liver then decrease, including the production of glucose, processing drugs and alcohol, and vitamin absorption. Stomach and bowel function, and the making of hormones are also affected.
Cytoplasm: The inner substance of a cell contained within the cell membrane other than the nucleus.
Dermatomyositis: A diffuse connective tissue disease.
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid, the large molecule that is the main carrier of genetic information in cells. DNA is found mainly in the chromosomes of cells.
Enzymes: Specific protein catalysts produced by the cells that are crucial in chemical reactions and in building up or synthesizing most compounds in the body. Each enzyme performs a specific function without itself being consumed. For example, the digestive enzyme amylase acts on carbohydrates in foods to break them down.
Hepatitis: Inflammation of the liver usually resulting in jaundice (yellowing of the skin), loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, abnormal liver function, clay-colored stools, and dark urine. May be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, parasitic infestation, alcohol, drugs, toxins or transfusion of incompatible blood. Can be life-threatening. Severe hepatitis may lead to cirrhosis and chronic liver dysfunction.
Malaise: A vague feeling of bodily discomfort, as at the beginning of an illness. A general sense of depression or unease.
Nephritis: Kidney inflammation.
Protozoan: (Plural: Protozoa) Any one of a large group of one-celled (unicellular) animals, including amoebas. They are microorganisms that differ from bacteria in that they are larger and possess a nucleus surrounded by a membrane. Several species of protozoa can be transmitted through water and cause disease in humans, including Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, Entamoeba and Isospora. One distinguishing characteristic of protozoa is that when released from the human body through feces they are present in an encysted (dormant) form. These cysts have a protective layer that surrounds them and keeps chemicals from penetrating them. Therefore, chlorine disinfection does not kill the protozoan cysts.
Purpura: Bleeding into the tissues directly beneath skin or mucous membranes yielding a bruise or many red or purple petechia (flat, pin-head sized spots).
Retina: A 10-layered, frail nervous tissue membrane of the eye, parallel with the optic nerve. It receives images of outer objects and carries sight signals through the optic nerve to the brain.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: A long-term, destructive connective tissue disease that results from the body rejecting its own tissue cells (autoimmune reaction).
Seizure: While there are over 40 types of seizure, most are classed as either partial seizures which occur when the excessive electrical activity in the brain is limited to one area or generalized seizures which occur when the excessive electrical activity in the brain encompasses the entire organ. Although there is a wide range of signs, they mainly include such things as falling to the ground; muscle stiffening; jerking and twitching; loss of consciousness; an empty stare; rapid chewing/blinking/breathing. Usually lasting from between a couple of seconds and several minutes, recovery may be immediate or take up to several days.
Ulcer: Lesion on the skin or mucous membrane.
Ulcerative Colitis: (Colitis ulcerosa): Ulceration of the colon and rectum, usually long-term and characterized by rectal bleeding or blood in the stool, frequent urgent diarrhea/bowel movements each day, abdominal pain.
Urticaria: Commonly known as hives, urticaria is one of the most common dermatological conditions seen by allergists. Urticaria is not just an allergic disease, however. It can be caused by metabolic diseases, medications, infectious diseases, autoimmune disease, or physical sensitivity. Traditional allergies to foods or medications as well as viral illness are frequent causes of acute urticaria which usually lasts only a few hours but may last up to 6 weeks. Chronic urticaria (lasting more than 6 weeks) is more complex, given the vast number of potential triggers. Symptoms include sudden onset; initial itching; then swelling of the surface of the skin into red or skin-colored welts (wheals) with clearly defined edges; welts turn white on touching; new welts develop when the skin is scratched; usually disappear within minutes or hours. Welts enlarge, change shape, spread or join together to form large flat raised areas.
Vasculitis: Inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries. The damage may be due to infectious agents, mechanical trauma, radiation or toxins; often no specific causative factor is identified. It involves immune mechanisms such as deposition of circulating immune complexes and direct attack by circulating antibodies

What should the guests not miss during a holiday in Kastelruth?
Kastelruth is the largest city and the center of the Seiser Alm region. The village with its long history, dating back to the Roman period, with lived traditions and a location in the heart of the Dolomites has something to offer, which guests should not miss.
The beauty of nature in the Dolomites as greatest attraction
The Dolomites and the unique climate as a mixture between Mediterranean and Alpine influences make the landscape of the Seiser Alm a fantastic backdrop for all kinds of activities. The easiest way to get to know and enjoy this pleasure is on the Marinzen pasture, where the Marinzen alpine hut is, and a petting zoo for the kids together with a fishing pond invite to stay.
On a hike along the nature adventure geologists path million years of geological history rise back to life. Ten stone tablets inform about the different rock strata and their formation, particularly attractive for those interested in the origins of the Dolomites.
Witches, myths and legends around Kastelruth
Fabled witches benches are on the Puflatsch, which can also be best explored on foot. The view from Puflatsch balances additionally the efforts of the Mountain tour. The witches are in
the Dolomites but otherwise omnipresent: for example, the sulfur-containing witches sources on the Seiser Alm or the witches chairs above Kastelruth. During the summer months the witches invite our guests to witches evenings, in which shops are open.Cclimbing walls and a petting zoo are offered as well on this occasion, especially for the younger visitors.
Aiming high not only on the peaks of South Tyrol
The steeple in Kastelruth with 88 meters is the third highest in South Tyrol. 325 wooden steps lead up to the peak, which allegedly houses the most sonorous bell in South Tyrol. Once a week, at 10 o'clock, the bell tower is open to the public.
Also in the highest altitudes a walk takes to the origins of Kastelruth: on the "Kofel", the former castle mountain, there are the rests of the chapel of St. Anthony. Once this was probably part of the castle (Latin: Castellum), which gave its name to the place.
Instructive and interesting museums in Kastelruth
During a vacation in Kastelruth all folk music lovers cannot miss a visit to the Spatzen Museum. There you can learn everything around the Kastelruther Spatzen and buy some souvenirs.
An interesting visit is of course the one to the Farmers museum. In the more than 500 year-old Tschötscher farm tools and equipments of the farmers from the past can be seen, learning a lot about the hard life of privation that the farmers of the region did at that time.
A Kastelruth's attraction for castles enthusiasts: Trostburg
A hoard of culture: Prösels Castle
A popular destination for our guests is represented by Prösels Castle located in the hamlet of the same name. Here castle tours are regularly offered, moreover various cultural events such as concerts and art exhibitions are held here. The Prösels Castle is also a welcome chosen location for weddings.
The Oswald von Wolkenstein ride: South Tyrol's largest equestrian event
Törggelen: a highlight in autumn
A visit during Törggelen is particularly appreciated by our visitors during autumn. This is an old custom, according to which immediately after the harvest a meal is taken together in friendly company. Here besides grape must and young wine roasted chestnuts, nuts and sweet donuts are served. The main course is mainly made up, besides smoked dry sausages and speck, by simple dishes from the South Tyrolean cuisine. A popular alternative are also hearty pork dishes with sausages, salt pork, dumplings and sauerkraut.

Science. As soon as you see it, you might be thinking: Biology? Physics? Chemistry? How am I supposed to know all this? It can be very daunting, approaching this section in the ACT, but you shouldn't fret! If you're well prepared and know exactly what to expect, it can be as easy as 1-2-3.
The creators of the ACT purposefully called this section the Science Reasoning section. There are three different parts in the Science Reasoning Section:
- 3 Data Representation passages
- 3 Research Summaries passages
- 1 Conflicting Viewpoints passage
The keyword from this list is the word "passages". There will essentially be data, graphs, and scientific information within these passages, but they test you on how well you interpret these figures, not on how well you know the difference between meiosis and mitosis. Sure, these passages will be covering topics in biology, chemistry, and physics; however, the bulk of what you need to know about these certain sciences can be found in the passages itself.
The data representation part will provide graphs, charts, and images within the passage. You will be tested on how well you can interpret these, and how you can extract the data to answer the questions. Research summaries include two or three similar experiments with data collected from each one. Again, you will be tested on how well you can interpret the data from these experiments. Finally the conflicting viewpoints passage will present two conflicting theories of the same phenomenon, and you will be tested on how well you understand the similarities and differences between the two.
It all sums up to one statement: you should approach this section the same way you would a reading section!
This article was written for you by Frances, one of the tutors with Test Prep Academy.

About Us
Iron Heritage Grooming Co.
Iron Heritage Grooming Company is an American Barber Company based out of Chicago, Illinois. All of Iron Heritage's Products are Handcrafted with Traditional Grooming Practices in Small Batches in the U.S.A. with No Animal Testing.
With the recent resurgence of the barber (formerly barber surgeons) industry and a revival of a younger generation honoring a past time, we felt something was still missing. We couldn't pin point what it was, so we decided to set out on the back roads of America to see Americana in it's natural habitat.
To us, Iron Heritage reminded us of the ancestry, dirt and blood of our grandfathers and their grandfathers before them. The smell of King talc or Clubman powders, aftershave mixed with pipe tobacco, stench of whiskey on their breathe and sweat from a hard day of work on his back. Cruising the hills on a Harley Davidson panhead or a '62 Ford F100.
The story dates back to 2012 before Iron Heritage began. At that time, Illinois licensed barber Mike Weinberg was barbering at a neighborhood barbershop on Chicago's Northside and began to expresses the concerns of the Men's Grooming industry that was being lead by companies with no credentials and esthetic manufacturers produce products. Said manufacturers or "home cooks" could NOT explain HOW, WHY and WHAT their products did for consumers.
Weinberg met a long time handcraft apothecary producer and Pennsylvania native, Jeri Yingling, who was residing in Chicago. Yingling spent the last 2 years consulting with manufacturers to correct inconsistent ingredients listed on products, contradicting purposes such as shampoo and conditioner combinations, and the lack of education of a proper pH balance of hair and skin. Weinberg and Yingling were determined to craft a line of products that educated consumers and were made with the proper ingredients.
In 2014, after long discussions and advice from other leading licensed professionals in the industry, Weinberg and Yingling partnered up with a certified, all-natural and organic manufacturer to begin creating and testing formulas for what soon became Iron Heritage Grooming Co.
Since it's introduction, Iron Heritage has been featured with SPIKE TV's Ink Master's Season 3 Runner Up Jime Litwalk, The Cast and Crew of Discovery TV's Fast N' Loud featuring the Gas Monkey Garage, GQ's David Smiedt, Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music, and Members of Lucero.
In Fall of 2015, Hot Water Music's frontman Chuck Ragan began using Iron Heritage's Beard Oils and Original Iron Oil in his hair and on his hands. At that time, Chuck had in mind of opening a mercantile featuring some of the general items he used daily. In April 2016, Iron Heritage was pleased to announce an collaboration with Chuck Ragan's Ragan Mercantile with the Nomad and Outbound Beard Oils and Drifter Iron Oil.
In summer of 2016, Brian Venable, guitarist of Lucero got ahold of Iron Heritage Sportster Beard Oil and couldn't get enough of it. In Winter 2016, Iron Heritage released a signature beard oil with Venable, Catchin' Hell. Available now.
We manufacture our own grooming products, but we sell other brands we feel are top notch because sometimes, our competitors make it best! Shop the best grooming products under one roof!
Our small 3 chair in-house barbershop operates with licensed barbers that offers traditional haircuts, beard trims and straight razor shaves.
Looking for more than a haircut, we have a retail shop to make a one stop shop for men that sells brands like: Fred Perry, Brixton, Red Wings, Iron & Resin and more..
We are committed to supplying education, knowledge and providing a time honor for each product Iron Heritage crafts. Tested and Approved by licensed barbers, each product is handcrafted with traditional grooming practices with our 100% All-Natural, Utilitarian, Premium Men's Grooming Products.

Gwen Stefani Gives Birth To Son
Published By: Tara ClemMarch 2, 2014
Gwen Stefani gives birth to baby number 3! Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale welcomed their third son, Apollo Bowie Rossdale on Friday, February 28, 2014. This is the third son for No Doubt lead singer, Stefani, 44.
Gavin Rossdale, 48, tweeted the news Saturday afternoon, along with the baby's name: Apollo Bowie Flynn. The name Bowie is Rossdale's mother's maiden name, and Flynn is Stefani's mother's maiden name.
The rocker couple have been married 11 years, and have two sons, Kingston, 7 and Zuma, 5. Although Gwen Stefani gives birth to yet another son, she will be sure to get her notorious rock hard abs back soon!
Stefani commented to the media back in 2012 that they had wanted another baby, but it didn't seem to work out for them. So it seems like this pregnancy was a surprise! Stefani always wanted a baby girl, so maybe they can try for number 4? The rocker's strong physique should allow for that…..don't you think? Or since they say third time is a charm and Gwen Stefani gives birth to another son, maybe she is done? What do you think?

The Truth (with Jokes)Book - 2005
Al Franken's landmark bestseller, Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, was praised as a "bitterly funny assault" (zThe New York Times) that rang "with the moral clarity of an angel's trumpet" (The Associated Press). Now, this master of political humor strikes again with a powerful and provocative message for all of us.
In these pages, Al reveals the alarming story of how:
Bush (barely) beat Kerry with his campaign of "fear, smear, and queers," and then claimed a nonexistent mandate.
"Casino Jack" Abramoff, the Republicans' nearest and dearest friend, made millions of dollars off of the unspeakable misery of the poor and the powerless. And, also, Native Americans.
The administration successfully implemented its strategy to destroy America's credibility and goodwill around the world.
Complete with new material for this paperback edition, The Truth (with jokes) is more than just entertaining, intelligent, and insightful. It is at once prescient in its analysis of right-wing mendacity and incompetence, and inspiring in its vision of a better tomorrow for all Americans (except Jack Abramoff).
Baker & Taylor
Picking up where the best-selling Lies and The Al Franken Show leave off, a new work of hard-hitting political satire draws on a wide range of resources to expose the mendacity of the Bush administration and its conservative Republican supporters. By the author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot. 750,000 first printing.
