Posted on May 2, 2017
DALLAS and NEWPORT NEWS, Va., May 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When students struggle to read, every aspect of their academic life is affected. Timely intervention is the only way they can catch up to their peers. At An Achievable Dream™ Academy Middle and High School in Newport News, Va., administrators experienced this firsthand, yet discovered a solution—Voyager Sopris Learning's award-winning literacy curriculum LANGUAGE! Live—that now has those same students meeting and exceeding grade-level reading expectations.
Since implementing LANGUAGE! Live three years ago at the middle school level, the district has experienced significant gains in overall student achievement, and specifically the Standards of Learning (SOL) for Virginia Public Schools test, on which students improved between 13 and 30 points while using the program.
"The students are not only scoring higher on the reading SOL test, but they are scoring higher in ALL curriculums," said Dr. Lee Vreeland, Vice President of Academics, An Achievable Dream. "LANGUAGE! Live is a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of even our students with intensive challenges and learning gaps. We're thrilled with the gains students have shown since the implementation in the 2014-15 school year.
"When the program is implemented with fidelity—by which I mean that a large percentage of the content is covered—there is a direct correlation between LANGUAGE! Live and our kids successfully passing the reading SOL."
LANGUAGE! Live was a perfect fit for the Academy students, she observed, because they are identified individually by their ability and the program kicks off from each of their unique, personalized starting points. "Our teachers are now able to have more of a prescribed curriculum for those students. We can take individualized learning and instruction to a new level," Dr. Vreeland said.
In addition to meeting and exceeding the state goals, as well as school goals, she notes that student confidence levels are also skyrocketing in the wake of their newfound achievements with LANGUAGE! Live. Moreover, Dr. Vreeland said she will be watching to see if SAT scores increase as a result.
Dr. Amy Runge, Director of Curriculum and Collegiate Services at An Achievable Dream Academy, attributes the reason for optimism in part to the students' increased capacity for independent learning.
"We have seen a tremendous amount of growth with our current eighth graders who began using LANGUAGE! Live in sixth grade," Dr. Runge said. "These students are engaged learners now and even the weakest students from the outset are now largely reaching grade level. We've used a variety of products over the years, but LANGUAGE! Live is one that has allowed us to achieve the most significant gains with our then-lowest-achieving students. We've had a lot of growth, and even their desire to be learners has changed and grown. In fact, these students even understand other subjects better because they can read the course materials effectively."
According to a longtime teacher who helped implement LANGUAGE! Live at NNPS, the literacy curriculum has ended her quest for a resource that reaches all her students while effectively addressing their myriad reading levels.
"LANGUAGE! Live is amazing because it allows me to customize each lesson for each student, based on their Lexile level," said Cassie Prater, a teacher for An Achievable Dream. "The students love the program because they can work at their own pace, earn points, and customize their own avatars, all the while building their reading levels. Every year I use this program, I see tremendous growth in each student. Their self-esteem and confidence regarding reading simply goes through the roof!"
LANGUAGE! Live is built on nearly two decades of research and was developed by Dr. Louisa Moats, an internationally renowned literacy expert; lead author of LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) professional development; author of numerous journal articles, books, and instructional materials; and a past vice president of the International Dyslexia Association.
An Achievable Dream Academy is a unique partnership between Newport News Public Schools, the City of Newport News, and the local business community designed to give at-risk students a better chance to succeed. Students in grades K-12 are offered a quality education in a nurturing environment, as well as the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with caring adults.

Candid Arts Café – Islington
A home away from home with big comfy chairs, Candid Arts Cafe is hidden in the Candid Arts Trust and you wouldn't know it was there unless you knew it was there, which is its main attraction. It's fairly hippy-looking with some hilariously hideous paintings but still a great place to go by yourself to read or write. It's surrounded by art studios with grungy looking artists who wear corduroys and wool cardigans, corduroy is a crime, people show know this by now. All the chairs come from the Royal Opera House when it was re-furbished (something I overheard) which I love and during the day it's invariably empty. It stays open until 10pm which is a rare treat in London where cafés all seem to close at 6pm so come evening it's busy yet not uncomfortably so. Serving cakes, soup, coffee and alcohol, they've got it all covered.

Sometimes you find "photos" that speak to you.
You can relate to them.
You realize they are you.
If you want to further understand me, just keep strolling.
I'm funny about my coffee though. I'm sorta a coffee snob. This is what I need to function in the mornings. And Jesus. I need Jesus too.
This. Is. Me.
I love a good XL sweatshirt.
However, living in South MS, we only wear sweatshirts for 5 minutes for 1 day in January.
I really didn't feel this way until I had a child.
I think I should carry around an umbrella everyday.
After you have a child, you tend to have a zero tolerance for stupid. However, in the midst of your zero tolerance, you realize that you are surrounded. Therefore, bring on the umbrella. Just.Like.Brittany.
Heaven Help. Er'day.
I just love memes with funny kids!
Ummm.....hello Will Garnder from The Good Wife. I may have cried when he died.
I do this every.single.day.
When I showed this meme to my man, he laughed so hard and said it's ME!
True Story: I literally had 2 knives at the kitchen sink today.
I'm so glad that it's finally "legging" season.
I realize that "leggings never lie".......but let me tell 'ya.....I don't dress to impress while I'm buying the ingredients for pb&js in the Kroger. Gimme some leggings and a sweatshirt and THIS sista is happy.
The older I become, the more and more and more and more this is me.

Ephemeral constructs from Carlow milliner Laura Kinsella
I must admit that when I first saw Carlow milliner Laura Kinsella's work, I didn't get it. And then I couldn't forget it. This, I have learnt, is the mark of something truly good.
Since then, I have been watching Laura's evolution as a milliner, and finding that not only do I understand her creativity better, but I am loving it more and more. Laura Kinsella's work is an entirely alternative design voice to enter the well-established world of millinery.
"I like to do things traditionally, even though my pieces don't look it," Laura tells me. "I do everything 100pc by hand. I dye everything by hand. I knit everything myself. I never use a sewing machine, or use spray paint."
Laura works mainly with yarn and wire, which she manipulates into unusual shapes. Some of her pieces are near architectural in their construction, but always, always, they are feminine and delicate, as well as distinctive.
"I first knit the yarn into the shape it is meant to be - square, round, and so on. Then I stiffen the piece on the block into its final shape. Then the piece is wired to keep its shape," Laura explains.
"When I am designing, what I create depends on what I am feeling at the time. I do have a look at trends because people are buying clothes from a season, so I need to be up with the colours and themes. Things that I like, such as an exhibition, or a movie, could influence me. It really is about what I have seen."
Unlike a lot of milliners, Laura's background is as a fashion designer; she studied fashion at Limerick School of Art and Design and graduated in 2008.
Upon graduation, Laura spent several years travelling and working in fashion. She returned to Ireland in 2011 and began her millinery apprenticeship, launching her own label in 2013.
"I was very lucky. I won the Kerry Fashion Week award for Breakthrough Designer in 2014, and Irish Milliner Of The Year in 2015," Laura tells me. "For Irish Design 2015, I was selected to show at the In The Fold exhibition in London, and then as part of the Unfold exhibition later in the year. All these things earned me a lot of good press.
"Life In Glass Houses is the name of this collection. I was looking at Antony Gormley's work. I love his style and the idea of a second skin in his drawings," Laura tells me. "I came across sea algae called diatoms. The names of the pieces for this collection all came from names of diatoms. Eocene, the mohair shroud headpiece, was influenced by the idea of second skin, a kind of protective skin."
Laura's latest good news is that she has been selected to show at London and Paris fashion weeks this September, as part of the BFC (British Fashion Council) Designer Showrooms. She has also been selected by NJAL (Not Just Another Label) to be one of 30 designers included in a special exhibition at Premier Classe, called The Future of Fashion.
Which Laura Kinsella sure is.

text: I've heard a number of people rave about RS Guitarworks upgrades to their Strats and Les Pauls wiring. But I believe that the "emperor's new clothes" effect is often involved in many kinds of pricey upgrades (40 bux for 3 pots, a cap and a little wire???)...I just don't know if it's involved in these particular upgrades. I don't doubt that some changes can make some instruments sound notably better--I know it's possible--I'm just looking for a little emperical evidence. So I'm hoping to find some objective comparisons. Anyone know of any before/after kinds of recordings they can point me to? Anyone do the upgrade an NOT feel like it was worth it?

My first 'official' week has been crazy.
My job has obviously been a major feature of the week with 9am til 6pm days just being spent at work – VERY different to the summer holidays. Harder still is the adaption to a 2pm lunch and a 10pm dinner. It's only natural that by 12pm, the Brit in me wants lunch! However, no matter what the time is, being able to walk just a stone's throw from my office to the wall of the beach is brilliant. I have never had lunch on an 'ordinary' day, feet dangling just above the sand looking out at the views of the sea and Gibraltar. A beautiful accompaniment to the amounts of chorizo I'm munching on at lunch!
Work is a challenging and interesting experience. At the moment there's lots of training and when speedy Spanish dialogues start in the Andalucian accent… quite a bit of confusion! I hope I get better at that! I get to do real work, which is great and there's lots of variation. If my year continues like my first week, it will be brilliant! Due to a few meetings, I have had sneak peeks of nearby places including Marbella and Puerto Banus, two of the most exclusive and expensive places in Andalucia. This I noticed, when stopped in a petrol station in Puerto Banus, there were 3 porsches around me at one point in time. Not bad… not bad at all.
Although most of my week has been filled with my main job of sales, I have also had the opportunity to do some writing. I attended a press release with a colleague for a flamenco show coming to Estepona. Cecilia Gomez, the flamenco dancer, was very nice, very talented and an honour to meet and write about.
This flamenco show, about the Duchess of Alba, a very important figure in Spain is meant to be amazing. Luckily, I have the opportunity to go the Estepona's bull ring tomorrow to watch the show for myself. It has been reported to be a 'microcosm of Spanish culture' so I hope this gives me such an insight so early in my year abroad.
The flamenco show was fantastic! Cecilia Gomez was as amazing as I thought she would be. The dancing was incredible and every intricate move was faultless and done to perfection. And of course, the outfits were beautiful! Just being at the bull ring was an exciting feeling. There was something about the atmosphere there and watching the hundreds of ladies with their 'abanicos' –fans, as they all moved together in unison. We went to the port after and it most definitely is true what they say – the Spanish are a lot more generous with their alcohol measurements!
Today I also stepped onto the beach for the first time. Shockingly, it has taken me this long! I was the very definition of a tourist – writing my name in the sand, getting excited by being in the sea and getting a lot of sun. I tan incredibly easy though and am already significantly darker in just a week… a year is going to be very interesting.
All in all, a very enjoyable week. My 366 days are off to a great start! 🙂

Consultant Colorectal, Laparoscopic and General Surgeon
B Med Sci, BM BS, FRCS (Gen Surg)
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mr Michael Powar at Spire include:
I was appointed as Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon to the Cambridge Colorectal Unit at Addenbrooke's Hospital in 2012 following prestigious specialist fellowships at the world renowned St Marks and Royal Brisbane Hospitals. I have particular expertise in laparoscopic (keyhole) bowel surgery with one of the most extensive experiences in Cambridge and am involved in training the surgeons of tomorrow and mentoring consultant colleagues.
I offer dedicated specialist consultations during the working day and evenings for private patients, covering all colorectal (bowel and anal) conditions. These potentially embarassing conditions are treated sensitively in a relaxed and friendly manner. I provide a personalised Consultant delivered service from initial consultation and state-of-the-art investigations right through to modern and minimally invasive treatments. I have an active endoscopy practice and regularly perform colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy to investigate symptoms of change in bowel habit and rectal bleeding. I also provide a general surgical service for patients with abdominal and groin hernias.
My particular interests are modern treatments for haemorrhoids (including HALO and Rafaelo) and minimally invasive laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis) and diverticular disease. Keyhole surgery has the benefit of smaller wounds, less painand quicker recovery. I also undertake modern pioneering treatments for patients with bowel function problems including laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse and sacral nerve stimulation for bowel incontinence. I was the first clinician to perform sacral nerve stimulation for faecal incontinence in the East of England and now provide a region service for this socially limiting condition.
I am lead for Colorectal Pelvic Floor at Addenbrooke's Hospital and Lead for Colorectal Undergraduate teaching at the University of Cambridge Medical School. In addition to my clinical and teaching activities I am Council member for the Coloproctology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine.

Theo looks like a boy now. He is eight and half months old and is unmistakably a boy. There is a period of time when babies look like… well, they look like… just babies; neither male nor female. They are for the most part lacking in hair and their facial features are just cute rather than indicating which sex they are. Generally it is the child's clothes or colour of pushchair that give away the game – there are however embarrassing moments when strangers make the mistake of saying he or she, when in fact the baby is a she or he. Theo now has short, golden hair, a mischievous look in his eye and shows two teeth when he grins. He is a boy; a cheeky chap. He is also into everything… well everything he can roll or shuffle to.
It is an amazing transformation from those early months when Theo would just lie on his back under his mobile: immobile. It seems like an age since we had to hold his head when we held him, as he had not built up neck strength yet… it seems like only yesterday since we had to catch him when he was sitting on the floor and had not learnt how to balance at all. Now he has an understanding of balance although it doesn't always stop him toppling over onto his side or back.

Bob Kemmis & Sharkskin
from Vancouver BC
Contact Details
As a member of the Last Corvairs, once dubbed "The Best Unsigned Band In Canada" by Much Music's Terry David Mulligan, Bob Kemmis has shared the stage with such notable bands as The Tragically Hip, The Bodeans, The Beat Farmers, and TPOH to name a few.
When the Last Corvairs called it a day, Bob's focus switched toward songwriting. Supporting himself as a guitar tech for Vancouver pop/rock band Odds, Bob made a number of sojourns to Nashville. Finding that Nashville and it's cookie cutter songwriting formula was no place for the likes of him, Bob returned to Vancouver and began concentrating on his solo performances as well as the making of "KEMMISUTRA", his debut cd.
With the release of "KEMMISUTRA", Bob traveled across Canada performing with acts such as Ron Sexsmith, Cowboy Junkies and Bob Wiseman. The CD garnered much critical acclaim as well as nominations for both the Georgia Straight Music Awards and The West Coast Music Awards.
The new millenium marked the release of Bob's second full-length album, TOMORROW DOESN'T LOOK GOOD EITHER, an acoustic effort featuring musical guests Zubot & Dawson, Pat Steward and Doug Elliott (Odds) and Don Kerr (Rheostatics, Ron Sexsmith), among others. Hand-picked by Jann Arden to open her 26-date cross-Canada tour in June 2000, Bob attracted rave reviews for his engaging live show. Recently, Bob was called upon by veteran Canadian rockers, 54-40 to be a keyboard/guitarist for their Casual Viewin' Pop Experience tour of 2001. National distribution through Festival, college radio airplay and a fall 2002 tour are ensuring that he won't be a secret for long.

Vector is finished and out now on Steam!
This update proved to be much more work than I had anticipated. My original plan was to finish work on Vector before New Year's, but I ended up working on it until the very last minute, quite literally. There's still a few loose ends left to tie up art wise, but overall I am really happy with how this update came out. Both in terms of gameplay and visual quality, Stable Orbit took a giant step forward with Vector. Fingers crossed that you all end up liking it as much as I do!
Here are the change notes for Vector:
This update brings the art of Stable Orbit up to near final quality, removing most of the placeholders and introducing intricately detailed module designs. Gone too are the yellow discs that served as module connection points and in their place are new, animated, petal door connectors based on the "Common Berthing Mechanism" design used on the International Space Station. Additionally, the rendering pipeline has been overhauled completely, offering higher quality graphics on high-end machines and scalability options for lower end PCs.
Vector also introduces new gameplay elements:
- A new Node module, allowing you to build pressurized connections between crew modules and laboratories
- Severe damage or loss of power will now cause Habitat modules to become unusable, marooning the crew that was stationed there and reducing their productivity
- Severe damage to storage modules will now result in temporary loss of the resources stored there; if the module is destroyed, those resources will be lost permanently
- Severe damage to structural modules will now disable their connectors, blocking expansion from those modules until they are sufficiently repaired
- Severe damage or loss of power to Shuttle Docks will now cause the corresponding supply shuttles to become grounded or be unable to dock
Other Improvements:
- Added a UI scaling option
- Added in-game music
- The station panel, crew panel and message bar will now remember their pinned state between games
- Message bar now groups similar crew or module status messages together
Bug Fixes:
- New crew members will no longer board if oxygen has run out
- Solar panels and radiators now fold and unfold in simulation time (i.e. the animation will pause if the simulation is paused)

Andrew Bird quotes and sayings
A day off after a show with no agenda in a foreign city is about the most fertile creative situation I can imagine. Just walking with nothing to do, killing time and hearing the sights and sounds of an unfamiliar place.
Andrew Bird quotes
- I mean, you still can't jump offstage and go read a book. But I'm getting better at it. It is something you can manage. You can still give everything you have to the audience onstage, and have something for yourself.
- I spend a lot of time working by myself developing songs, but I really need some other counterpart to help me pull it all together, because you go nuts working if I had to finish an entire project all within my own head.
- I've always found that whatever you say about indie rock, it is the most inclusive genre or title for anything. It doesn't pin you down too much, like other labels would. It's just newer, it has less baggage. I'm happy to be in that category.
- In school I was painfully shy. But as soon as I had to get up in front of the class and give a book report, it was alarming - I'd suddenly be very articulate.
- Maybe it's just, I've always been to the less traveled places, in any topic, whether it's history, I always like to just choose the most obscure topic. And I don't know why I have that impulse. I can't really explain it but I've been doing that since I was a little kid.
- The fact that I wasn't expected to read music at all and was absorbing everything by ear... it had a huge affect on the kind of musician that I became.
- What's cool about indie rock is that one band can do effectively the same thing as another band, and one band nails it, and the other one doesn't. I like that elusiveness.
- Melodies are just honest. They can only be what they are. Words have the capacity for deception. They're all full of subtext, and some of them are cliche and overused and vernacular. They're tricky. All I can say is, words are tricky.
- Guitars are kind of just, you know, sexy, especially old vintage ones.
- I write a lot more when I'm happy, because you're hopeful, you're motivated.

Last weekend, Major Event Trailers received a warm welcome at the Calamigos Ranch Equestrian Center in Burbank, CA to attend the Bellisima Bridal Expo. Being a new business, we were excited to venture out into the Burbank – Los Angeles area. Many of the other vendors were impressed and commented that our mobile restroom trailers are a much needed addition for these types of events. One of the most common reactions from attendees was that they never considered the quality of the restroom facilities at their outdoor venue.
Please look for us at our next show at the Bridal Expo LA on May 29th at the Torrance Cultural Center. We will be displaying our mobile VIP Mobile Restroom Trailer at the entrance to the show along with having an exhibition booth inside.
We encourage questions about any of the services we offer. We are more than happy to provide specific details on the ADA Accessible Restroom trailer, the VIP Restroom trailer and Shower trailer we have.

Writing is my first love. Because I have always had such a passion for the written word, I chose English as my go-to subject in school. At UC Santa Barbara I received my Bachelors in English and used that to get into the Masters program at the American Film Institute where I received my Masters in Film Writing.
I was blessed with great, enthusiastic English teachers who encouraged my appetite for Reading and Creative Writing. Their model of teaching is, in my opinion, the best possible way of cultivating a real interest. Making learning fun and enjoyable is how to instill the subject matter in the most powerful way. Reading and Writing are meant to be entertaining, and that's the approach I take when teaching English.

text: Thursday 4 February 2016 Antibiotic resistance and infectious diseases such as zika, bird flu and Q fever are having an increasingly large impact on humans and animals, particularly in a densely populated country like the Netherlands. Experts in the areas of human and animal health at Utrecht University, University Medical Center Utrecht, Wageningen UR, Erasmus MC and the Academic Medical Center Amsterdam are therefore joining forces in a new virtual research centre. Edith Schippers, Dutch Minister of Health, Welfare and Sports, has opened this Netherlands Centre for One Health (NCOH) on 4 February. "The establishment of the Netherlands Centre for One Health – a world first – demonstrates that we can consolidate our strengths in human health, in animal health, and in the environment. It is a major and important step", says Minister Schippers. Although Dutch doctors and veterinarians have become increasingly reticent in their use of antibiotics in recent years, this is not yet the case in many European countries. For this reason, Minister Schippers wants to put the subject of antibiotic resistance on the European agenda during the Dutch presidency of the EU. Research into humans and animals The NCOH is bringing together knowledge in the areas of human and animal health. Leading scientists are setting up joint projects in order to control and prevent the threatening resistance problem. Different cattle feed, research into new medicines, treatment methods and methods to prevent spreading are some of the themes being addressed. This is the first time that medical, veterinary and environmental researchers are cooperating together this closely, and with the full support of the Dutch top sectors of Life Sciences & Health and Agri & Food. The centre's base is prevention: Don't wait until a problem arises, but prevent problems from occurring. "By combining all scientific knowledge we are able to make breakthroughs faster in the field of emerging infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance, " says Anton Pijpers, one of the initiators of the NCOH. "An example is the development of new vaccines, new antibiotics or alternatives." One Health The concept of One Health stands for promoting the health of people, animals and the environment by carrying out coherent research within these fields. Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance is one of the four areas of focus of the new virtual institute. One Health will also be carrying out research into Smart & Healthy Farming, Healthy Wildlife & Ecosystems and Emerging Disease Preparedness, thus controlling new infectious diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans. The latter theme is a topical issue. At the end of January, it became clear that the Netherlands already has its first patients suffering from the zika virus. In recent years, there have already been outbreaks of bird flu, Mers, Ebola, Sars and Q fever around the world. The theme of One Health is particularly important in a densely populated country like the Netherlands. Seventeen million people live closely on a small piece of land, together with 120 million animals. Infectious diseases that arise elsewhere in the world can easily travel to the Netherlands. And vice versa. Prevention of and combating infectious diseases are a global need, and that can only take place by combining knowledge and expertise. About NCOH: The Netherlands Centre for One Health (NCOH) brings together five leading academic institutes, together with other leading parties. This will create an open innovation network which can respond to One Health opportunities and risks. The NCOH carries out multidisciplinary and multisectoral research and develops knowledge in the areas of bioscience, medicine, veterinary medicine, animal science and environmental science. The NCOH is building bridges between academic and research institutes, the government and NGOs, and is open to cooperation with industrial partners. In the NCOH, researchers from the Utrecht University, Wageningen UR, University Medical Center Utrecht, Erasmus MC in Rotterdam and the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam work together under the motto: 'Solutions to Global One Health Challenges' Dit gedeelte is niet zichtbaar omdat u de cookies (nog) niet heeft geaccepteerd.

Our Produce departments have, for years, defined and refined really excellent internal systems for getting local farmers' produce into our stores and to your table. As a onetime outsider to their system, I was in awe of the amount of thought and time put into the practice of sourcing product, negotiating price with individual farmers, and keeping commitments to farmers throughout the entire Wisconsin growing season. My background was originally in restaurants and delis, so I was used to "just getting the ingredients in the door" and working with one or two local farmers, tops. The gargantuan effort our Produce departments expend each year begins in the winter with a marathon of face-to-face meetings with all prospective local farmers. An in-depth dialogue begins wherein growing needs are determined, pricing is agreed upon, and feedback is delivered to both sides of the table, strengthening the working relationship in a way that cannot be done through email or over the phone.
Incorporating more farms
I had my first foray into this world of coordinated mass purchasing of local produce two winters ago. As the Prepared Foods Category Manager, I had been charged with the task of incorporating more of these farmers' produce into our Deli foods that we make daily at all four of our sites (Production Kitchen included!). We made strides that first year in achieving our goals. The Production Kitchen, especially, built some great sourcing relationships with Robert Shulz of New Traditions Farmstead and Wisconsin Growers. During the 2016 spring and summer, those two farms accounted for well over half of all produce we used at the Production Kitchen. In fact, despite the end to the growing season, we are still working through a stock of cubed butternut squash from Robert that was processed and frozen for us by Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen in Mineral Point. We also deepened our ties to Dan Bernard of Healthy Ridge Farm in Door County by sourcing apples and cherries for our holiday pies. Our Delis worked in local produce where they could, as well, relying heavily on players like Vitruvian Farms for salad greens and spinach, Tipi Produce for carrots, and Crossroads Community Farm for various other items.
Continuing improvements
Even though we had clearly taken ground when it came to getting local produce into our Deli and Bakery foods, the Prepared Foods department still paled in comparison to the commitment our Produce departments were achieving. This year, we hope to build on our momentum by continuing to make improvements. We have fully jumped on board, using the same internal purchasing systems and practices that our friends in Produce have been refining for years. It means more time behind a spreadsheet, on the phone, and talking to each other, but participation in this system heralds a new level of purchasing coordination for us. Even though it means more work for each of us along the way, it will bring exponential growth in the amount of local produce you see on your plate when you purchase food from our Delis. We have just rolled out this system last month, so we're still getting our sea legs, but we're really excited to see its impact on you, on our bottom-line, and especially on our partner-farmers.
Double the organic farms
Which brings me around to a wider point: organic farms in Wisconsin have nearly doubled in number from a decade ago, according to the UW Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems. Wisconsin is second in the nation in number of organic farms, yet fifth in amount of revenue from organic produce sales, which says to me that there are a lot of smaller-scale operations coming on board in our state. Retailers like your Co-op play a decisive and integral role in providing stable revenue to farms on this scale, and our expansion of our local produce purchasing to all of our Delisand Prepared Foods departments is in direct support of this. We do things like this because it makes good sense all around: we have influence on pricing and can determine fair rates for people we can see and talk to, it meets our Owners' desire to see these products in their shopping carts, and it supports these local entrepreneurs in their risky venture of becoming organic farmers in a volatile growing climate. This culture that we, all of us involved, have emboldened is a large contributor to the rate of growth in this industry in our state, I have no doubt.
We may have to do more, however
The state is still lacking in processing and collection services for organic fruits and vegetables, meaning farmers have to rely upon themselves to sell product at farmers' markets or through direct delivery to retailers and restaurants. The community that sees the value of these farmers and the food system they help promote needs to come to a clearer vision of our next step. We need to improve the local food infrastructure to support our current and future farmers so they can continue to do their work. When farmers can get their product to consumers faster, more safely and more easily, we all win. I look forward to the day when buying local produce isn't more work, but simply the way it works.

As Disney gets closer and closer to acquiring the film and TV divisions of 21st Century Fox, many Marvel fans are wondering if Deadpool, one of the many Marvel characters under Fox's ownership, will have more R-rated movies under the Disney banner. They shall wonder no longer because Disney has officially confirmed that the merc with the mouth will keep having movies made by Marvel, with the essential R-rating still remaining.
This has been a highly-debated subject, mainly because Disney is notorious for strictly adhering to it's family-friendly material, making only PG-13 and below rated movies, with a few exceptions like The Fifth Estate. And violence, nudity and slurs characteristic of an R-rating are such an important component of the character of Deadpool, and something Disney would normally shy away from.
But recently, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger stated that Disney will keep making R-rated Deadpool movies, as well as other mature Marvel movies, after a call with investors:
"We will continue in that business. There's certainly popularity."Bob Iger
Not only is this exciting for Marvel fans, but it also opens the door for many possibilities for adult movie and TV properties and divisions that are owned by Fox. Disney could make R-rated movies of famous Fox properties like Alien and Predator, as well adult shows like Family Guy and Archer that are part of Fox's cable network FX and adult movies like those made Fox's independent movie division Fox Searchlight Pictures, which include The Shape of Water and The Favorite. Whether or not Disney will have to create a new division for their adult content remains to be seen, but the plan seems to be:
"…carefully branding [R-rated movies]… so we're not in any way confusing the consumer.Bob Iger

Community Bands Together to Halt Freeway Expansion
Photo credit: Claus Rebler via Flickr/CC BY-SA
Concerned citizens in Vancouver vociferously spoke out against a proposed $175 million highway extension. The extension would have added new on-ramps to an already congested highway, and was being jointly pursued along with multibillion dollar highway widening efforts. But the community banded together to oppose the project, which they saw not only a waste of public funds, but as a needless contributor to increased pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
I wish we heard stories like this more often (via Straight.com):
On Thursday (May 19), a large and determined group of New Westminster residents gathered to find out what design TransLink would be pushing for the first section of the North Fraser Perimeter Road. Instead, the crowd burst into boisterous applause when Sany Zein, TransLink's director of roads, announced that TransLink would cancel the North Fraser Perimeter Road portion of the Gateway Program because local residents and New Westminster council would not support it.
New Westminster residents have proved a force to be reckoned with. Mayor Wayne Wright referred to the first NFPR open house as "a donnybrook"--slang for a mass brawl. It was this outspoken opposition that forced provincially controlled TransLink to back off on the United Boulevard extension, the first phase of the NFPR in New Westminster. If they had proceeded it would have cost about $175 million for a short stub of freeway and an overpass that would feed more traffic onto the already congested New Westminster street network.
Beautiful. Bad public infrastructure proposals aren't always the easiest things to get people riled up about, and it's good to see people turning out to oppose policies that promote unsustainable sprawl and unnecessary pollution.
It's also a reminder that here in the US, at least two high profile governors have proposed massive new highway expansion projects -- and one of them rejected high speed rail funding to do so. Could we ever hope to muster a similar opposition here in the states?

The purpose of Small Footprint community is to promote sustainable values and community lifestyle and thereby to reduce the ecologic footprint of Estonian residents. Developing interpersonal relationships based on trust and cooperation is also very important for the community and that's what we are consciously working on.
To make our goals come true we have created an intentional community and ecovillage in Mõisamaa village, Märjamaa parish, Estonia, where we can create an example of a wholesome living environment and test community-based and sustainable solutions that could serve as an example for the whole Estonian society.
The community strives to develop an open learning and experiential space for living and learning sustainable life. Through our training and development activities we offer a chance for those interested to take part in developing new environmental technologies, leadership and organizational principles.
The members of our community have met thanks to the activities of the Estonian ecovillage movement (NGO Network of Estonian Eco-communities) and the global ecovillage network GEN Europe.
Since 2008 we have participated in several ecovillage-related courses and visited ecovillages abroad, to use those as examples for designing our own community.
In our daily activities we use techniques learned from other European communities and through this we strive to increase the social coherence of people and to upkeep the health of the community: social techniques of communities like nonviolent communication, deep democracy, sociocracy, permaculture, dragon dreaming.
After 3 years there are 3 companies operating in our community: OÜ Otse Aiast, raw chocolate factory and OÜ Terane Tera. Through our cooperative we also offer other services.
Here's a selection of other eco-communities our members have visited:
- Damanhur, a federation of spiritual communities and Torri Superiore ecovillage in Italy
- Tamera peace research center in Portugal
- Schloss Glarisegg and Schweibenalp in Switzerland
- Templehof, ZEGG Gemeinschaft and Sieben Linden in Germany

Canary Wharf's One Park Drive, designed by Swiss architects Herzog and De Meuron, is a great example of ambitious architecture as the geometry of the building changes an impressive three times.
To help achieve its unique design, PERI was selected as sole formwork supplier for the shell and the core. As part of this, a well thought-out climbing solution was fundamental in order to realise the core and lift edge protection.
Changes in geometry around the perimeter of the tower required flexible leading edge and weather protection.
As part of this, a well thought-out climbing solution was fundamental in order to realise the core and lift edge protection.
Lightweight Protection Screens (LPS) climbed on RCS pumps from the 10th floor up and were skilfully reshaped by PERI to meet slab profiles and account for wind loads as the structure evolved. This involved arranging special return screens of various sizes in order to transfer horizontal loads back into the floor slabs. A single RCS pump was capable of lifting two screens simultaneously.
All ACS-P climbing anchors were installed on the inner walls. By anchoring the system in this way, PERI reduced the number of lost anchors, resulting in fewer operatives required on site. Anchors supported vertical loads of up to 120kN, including formwork loads and live loads.
The ACS-P variant provided two generous working platforms and a safe enclosure at the top level, enabling workers to install reinforcement comfortably, even throughout windy conditions. The size of the platforms allowed for access between platform levels to be achieved using stairs instead of ladders.
The shape of the core was formed using MAXIMO formwork. By using the MX tie technology, the customer benefitted from faster tie installation, as they did not need to apply sleeves to the tie rods. Furthermore, single-sided tie installation reduced the exposure to working at height.

Freshman guard Sean Espinosa tied for team-high honors with 14 points in the Forester men's basketball team's 78-68 loss to St. Norbert College at home on Tuesday.
Espinosa shot 6-for-10 from the field and had his point total matched by sophomore guard Aram Arslanian, who scored seven points in each half. Junior guard Jordan Moran led the home team with six rebounds and senior guard Eric Porter with three assists and three steals in his final career home game.
Lake Forest shot just 40.3 percent from the floor while the Green Knights connected on 55.1 percent of their field goal attempts, including 11 of 19 from three-point range. The visitors also had a 36-30 edge in rebounds but committed 15 turnovers to the Foresters' five. After reaching double figures in turnovers in each of its first 17 games this season, Lake Forest has only done so once in the last seven and is averaging just seven during that span.
The home team led by as many as five points in the first half before a 15-1 St. Norbert run gave the Knights a nine-point advantage. The teams went into the locker room at halftime with the visitors ahead by seven at 36-29.
The Foresters closed to within four points early in the second half, fell behind by 11, and then trimmed the margin back down to three on a pair of free throws by Espinosa with 4:06 on the clock. After making just one of five free throws in the game's first 36 minutes, the Green Knights knocked down 12 of 14 down the stretch to secure the victory.
Lake Forest is now 16-8 overall this season and 12-5 in Midwest Conference play. St. Norbert improved to 18-6 overall and 13-4 in the league.
The Foresters will close out the regular season at Lawrence University Saturday afternoon at 1:00.

Trump's fancy-free scheduling approach is no mistake. In "The Art of the Deal," he explained that he thought too much planning curbed his creativity and impeded his thinking. That philosophy is alive and well in the White House, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials.
Between the lines: Trump believes to his core, one former senior White House official told Axios, that he's better off not preparing for some meetings. He thinks preparation hinders his ability to read the room and act with spontaneity, this former aide said.

Betabol is an advanced training formula containing the human studied amount of Patented HMB (when taken twice daily). HMB, a metabolite of L-Leucine, has been researched on its ability to increase muscle protein and strength while decreasing muscle breakdown and recovery time. HMB is a naturally occurring compound produced when our bodies metabolize the amino acid leucine. HMB is claimed to influence strength and lean body mass by acting as an anticatabolic agent, minimising protein breakdown and damage to cells that may occur with intense exercise. Science instead of hype!

South Luangwa National Park is located in the east of Zambia, at the southern end of the monumental Great Rift Valley. Its beautiful scenery and enormous variety and density of animals make it one of the best national parks in Zambia, if not the entire African continent. South Luangwa holidays are particularly special as they allow close interaction with the animals; it's impossible not to encounter game and birdlife on a walking safari, and because of the country's unfenced parks the animals are free to roam far and wide.
Zambia is recognised as the birthplace of the walking safari so close encounters with resident game are quite common, and not for the faint hearted. South Luangwa holidays also benefit from some of the best guiding Africa has to offer, and unforgettable wildlife experiences are a definite Zambia highlight.
Wildlife in this area includes giraffe, 14 species of antelope and buffalo which graze upon the open plains, and a large number of leopards that conceal themselves within the dense woodland. In the marshes, elephants wallow and hippos dine on cabbage in the Luangwa River - the waterway that supports life in the region meanders across the plains and has many ox-bow lakes. Accommodation is mainly sited along the east bank of the river, with safaris usually taking place on the west.
If you're feeling inspired by our range of holidays to South Luangwa, why not call our Travel Specialists for Africa today and start planning your adventure.
