President Obama traveled to Cuba last Wednesday in a historic effort to restore diplomatic relations with our communist neighbor. But Obama wasn't the only high-profile figure to visit the island that week. On Friday, the Rolling Stones rocked some 450,000 (or 500,000 or 700,000, depending on whom you ask) people with a free concert in Havana's Ciudad Deportivo de la Habana.
When the British blues-rock band broke into the music scene in the early '60s, it was framed as poster boys of that era's counterculture. Its progressivist, transgressive style, long hair, and affinity for intoxicants made the band a convenient enemy of the old guard. The Stones have since become one of the greatest – if not the greatest – rock band of all time. So it's really no surprise that once international relations with Cuba thawed, the Stones took the opportunity to perform where their music was once blacklisted. To everyone's satisfaction, the two-hour set saw Jagger, Richards, Watts, and Wood perform hits like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Start Me Up," and "Gimme Shelter."
The Stones aren't the first international rock act to perform in Cuba (Audioslave played the island in 2005), and three weeks ago, EDM powerhouse Major Lazer held a free concert in Havana. The government newspaper reported some 400,000 people were in attendance to watch Diplo and company do their thing. And more shows are set to follow. The first week of May will see Havana host Musicabana, a four-day festival billed as "Cuba's coming-out party," with acts like Ibeyi and Sean Paul.

Mak & Pasteman spent their formative years immersed in a burgeoning Leeds scene that included the likes of Ben UFO and Pearson Sound, crafting a versatile and ever-evolving sound which caught the attention of BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac as well as Jackmaster, Oneman and Loefah and more. With previous releases on Breach's Naked Naked label and Redlight's Lobster Boy, and last year's run of EPs for their own Materials imprint, the pair now join the likes Breakage, Dismantle & B Traits for their debut on the flourishing Digital Soundboy label.
With a reputation for hard-hitting underground club anthems that merge influences from house to techno to UK bassline, 'Oh Baby' is no exception for the duo. Kicking things off with a frenetic 4x4 beat and that weighty bassline it doesn't let up, with enraptured vocal samples propelling the track into future club classic territory.
London-based DJ/producer and UK rave revivalist Mella Dee steps up on remix duty to work 'Oh Baby' into a menacing, siren-laced jungle cut laden with rave shout-outs, taking the original in an altogether darker direction. Another new addition to the Digital Soundboy stable, Mella Dee's recent eight track beat-tape for the label titled 'Rhythm Nation Vol. 1' showcased a producer at the top of his game.

For two weeks Sao Paulo had been in full crisis. More than 60,000 men were idled, the largest single industry in Latin America's greatest industrial city was paralyzed, and the lives of most adult Paulistas were in some way affected. Government officials, police, labor leaders and representatives of the industry met round the clock in secret emergency conference. Last week the crisis was quietly resolved. In return for unspecified concessions, the police agreed to end their crackdown on jogo do bicho-the animal game-the largest permanent floating numbers game in the world.

There's no denying that I've got the biggest collection of clothes in my family but ironically, I'm still the one who scours through everyone else's closets just to find something new to wear. This time, the helpless victim was my brother. I badly needed a few boyfriend shirts to layer on because I wanted to pretend I've got street swag. (New Balance sneakers deserve no less!) Since my brother is so slim, I can easily fit all his clothes without looking like a starving hanger. I got two of his casual shirts, tied one around my waist, wore the other over my dress and, voila! I'm ready for my street style snap.
Chanel earrings | Avon necklace | Esprit (Men) plaid shirt | H&M (Men) checkered shirt | Topshop denim dress | Golden Eight bracelets | Balenciaga bag | JD Sports New Balance sneakers

The Taste of Stone is a new exhibition commissioned by BACKLIT and will take place at the gallery from 13 July until 2 August, with a special preview night running on 12 July from 7pm.
Frank Kent – voted one of the 'best artists in the region' – will be transforming the wall space at BACKLIT gallery in Sneinton as part of his upcoming exhibition.
This year Frank has been elected as one of the best artists in the region under the age of 30 by Nottingham Visual Arts Magazine and has represented Great Britain as part ofWorld Event Young Artists in Nottingham, where he created a collage from an entire building at Primary, one of Nottingham's top art studios.
Frank said: "I'm really looking forward to showcasing the exhibition at BACKLIT. I'm experienced at painting to a large scale but this is a new direction for me as my work will be longstanding and feature at the gallery beyond the exhibition.
"I've been very much influenced by Finnish architect Juhanin Pallasmaa who believes that all senses should be used when observing art. The paintings don't depict any particular images but allow people to be filled with a vision of colour when walking around the gallery space and the textured paintings include a range of materials such as latex, pigments and timber. I'm really looking forward to holding my final exhibition in Nottingham at BACKLIT."
Frank's exhibition will show large scale colourful paintings placed on translucent latex and framed on structured pine wood. The paintings have been specifically designed for the exhibition but will be mounted onto BACKLIT'S walls as a more permanent feature once the exhibition has finished.
The Taste of Stone will be Frank's last Nottingham exhibition before he relocates to his home town of London later on in the year where he will continue his studies at Royal Academy School in London. Frank graduated from the School of Art and Design at Nottingham Trent University in 2010 and has since widened his skills by working as a carpenter and specialising in spray painting.

The Hanger Bike Co. is a new Bicycle Shop and Trail center in Somerset West brought to you by Andrew and Jonty Neethling and Andre Avenant
The Trio has a combined 45 years of cycling experience ranging from professional racers scoring podiums and wins around the world, professional mechanic on the World Cup series and Cape Epic, as well as shop owners and trail builders.
They are excited and motivated to grow cycling in the area.
The Hanger Bike Co. specializes in Road and MTB Bicycle Sales, Servicing and Coffee. We are located on the R44, on the way to the very popular Helderberg Trails and the surrounding Wannabees cycling routes.
We can't wait to share our passion for cycling and create a hang out pre and post ride.
The Derailleur HANGER is an integral part of the Bicycle. Jonty and Andrew's father, Arno Neethling, played an integral part in the boys cycling careers and helped grow SA cycling as a sport. As an international commissaire, some of his most notable jobs included the Commonwealth and Olympic Games.
Arno's other love was flying – so the word HANGER, as in airplane HANGER, stuck with the boys and seemed a fitting way to honour their father who passed away in February 2017.
The Goal was to create a place where people could "HANG out" and share their passion for bikes.
And so "The Hanger Bike Co." was born.

Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)
The original 1969 version of the ghostly detective format ...
UK - 1969-71 - 26 episodes (60 mins) - colour
Marrying the down-at-heel private detective genre with supernatural fantasy, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) was created by Dennis Spooner and Monty Berman, who produced the show in tandem with Department S.
When Marty Hopkirk, one half of a detective agency, is murdered he returns in spirit to help his partner, Jeff Randall, to help track down his killer. Failing to return to his grave before sunrise, he violates an ancient curse that leaves him stranded on earth.
Balancing the supernatural and detective elements, Spooner and Berman keenly exploited the comic potential of the situation. Like I Dream of Jeannie, the spectral Marty can only be seen by Jeff. Although their investigations benefited from one partner not being bound by physical laws, his ghostly actions were blamed on the living partner, resulting in frequent beatings and even hospitalisation when he appeared to be talking, and more often arguing, with himself.
The scripting, mostly divided between Tony Williamson, who was more comfortable with the fantasy elements, and Donald James, whose work tended toward realism, meant that the series sometimes suffered from an inconsistency in tone. Although enjoyed by the public, negative reviews and the inability to attract an audience in America, where it was retitled My Partner the Ghost, meant that it failed to be recommissioned.
Remade in 2000, with the emphasis firmly on the comedic, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer took on the title roles, with the character of Jeannie, remodelled as Hopkirk's fiancée rather than wife, given a more pro-active role.
Mike Pratt as Jeff Randall
Kenneth Cope as Marty Hopkirk

Mouse and Keyboard lagging with Linux Kernel 2.6.11
I've just rather extensively upgraded my computer. The latest change was a new motherboard, Procesor, and hard disk. Instead of trying to get everything configured as is, I figured it would be easier to reinstall everything anew. I also wanted to redo my partitioning scheme...
Once all this was installed, I tried it out with KNOPPIX 2.8. It worked.
I figured I'd try installing Windows next (much quicker than Gentoo Linux). It worked fine with ME, 2000, and XP. It also worked.
I then repartitioned the disk and installed Gentoo. It works... kinda. When I first fired up X (with nothing else running besides the usual daemons), the mouse lagged by about .2 seconds or so. Not impossibible to work with, but quite irritating. If I run programs on my laptop via the X server running on my desktop, it remains sluggish, but if I run programs from the desktop on the laptop X server, it works fine.
This led me to suspect the X Server Configuration. I didn't see anything blatently wrong with xorg.conf (I posted the Input Sections). I then tried using gpm at the console. I experienced the same lag. This led me to suspect something else like a misconfigured kernel. I booted off the Gentoo installation cd (basically just a bash prompt on a cd; no X), mounted everything to /mnt/gentoo and chrooted inside. From there the cursor worked fine in X. This led me to try different kernels on my system. The Vanilla kernel and the Custom Gentoo kernel both have the same problem. I havn't yet installed genkernel (Automatic configuration), as I want to learn more about hotplug and coldplug before I install and rely on them.
This mouse delay is irritating, but it isn't the only problem. Occasionally, when I switch from VT7 (X) back to VT1(return to console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1), the keyboard will start to lag. If I were to try typing something like 'echo "Testing 1 2 3"',the T might appear when I press 1, the e when I press space, and so on. This makes it very difficult to use the console. Occasionally, the console totally locks up, and I have to ssh in from my laptop and reboot the desktop to get it working again.
My first stop in the step of troubleshooting process was Google. Everyone who had mouse lag seemed to be running some sort of game while they experienced the problem. I've also tried some suggestions from this site such as disabiling ACPI in 'menu makeconfig' and changing the mouse resolution. I also havn't been able to find any cases of this "keyboard delay". Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading my absurdly long post.
Here's the hardware I have:
Linux version 126.96.36.199 (root@smartCompLinux) (gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 126.96.36.19950130-r1, ssp-22.214.171.12450130-1, pie-184.108.40.206)) #1 Sun Apr 24 02:03:49 PDT 2005
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 755 Host (rev 01)
# File generated by xorgconfig.
Try to use a tool such as gnome-system-monitor or gkrellm to see what exactly is happening, whether the cpu usage is 100%, or the disk activity etc. The "top" command may also help.
It does seem to be an issue with the kernel though...I wont be able to help you much there. :(

STEEL Maybe . . The West Coast heard some lively news last week: U.S. Steel was ready to dicker with the Defense Plant Corp. to buy or lease the $200,000,000 Geneva steel plant near Provo. Utah.
Geneva, now run for the Government by Big Steel, is fondly regarded by Westerners as the best bet to bring them cheap postwar steel, let them grow into their industrial long pants. But until Big Steel broke its toplofty silence, no one was willing to gamble on the prospects of Geneva doing the job.
The offer to talk turkey came from Big Steel's President, Benjamin...

Message from the Artistic Director
The power of music has been documented through countless studies and experiments. Music plays an intrinsic part in human development, with a magnitude of benefits to its credit, in terms of cognitive development, social enrichment, cross-cultural exchange, creativity and even physical health.
Music also plays an important role in society, as an artistic tool, as well as a universal language that spans borders, cultures and languages, with a large economic footprint as a career field.
At the Drakensberg Boys Choir School, we pride ourselves in preparing boys for life and leadership, through nurturing and developing their latent creativity, self-expression, building their self-confidence, whilst giving them a broad worldview and an intellectual, multicultural outlook.
Our Music Programme is centred around choral music, since vocal expression enjoys some of its best moments during this period in a boy's physical development.
Choral music is a marvellous educational tool in teaching the concepts of self-discipline, posture, intelligence, movement, teamwork, listening skills, creativity, co-ordination and a positive sense of self.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." – Pablo Picasso

Concord Fall Leaf Collection
We are listening! We heard you and introduced a three week bagged leaf collection to last year's program to provide an alternative and guaranteed collection method. Now, we have heard residents from the south end and have agreed that we will begin to alternate the starting location of bulk collection (just like we do for the north and east side) to provide a more fair and equal opportunity for participation in our program. The City has carefully considered this recommendation and agrees it is the fair and right thing to do. Find more information, detailed maps, frequently asked questions, and more below.
Your feedback has helped us hear you. We thank everyone that took the time to fill out our survey last year. We are happy to hear how well received the new bagged collection is and we hope that adding the south end to our starting rotations will improve the overall service of our program. Please consider submitting a feedback form this year to let us know your thoughts on this year's change and the program overall. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find our feedback form.
Bulk Fall Leaf Collection
October 28, 2019 - December 6, 2019 (weather permitting)
Our Highway and Utilities Division will use leaf vacuums to collect leaves that are raked loosely to the curb (unbagged). Bulk leaf collection will start on October 28th and continue as weather permits through December 6th. Be prepared for the weather. Snow may suspend bulk collection. Crews will do their best to resume bulk collection if possible if weather conditions change, but this cannot be guaranteed since this program is dependent upon the weather.
There will be three crews starting at different areas of the city. New this year, the south end crew will not start at the Bow town line and work north – this crew will instead start at Blossom Hill Cemetery and work south. The crew collecting in the south end will now begin to alternate their starting location each year, just as the other two crews do for the north and east side. We heard your feedback on this and agree that this change will be more equitable for residents. The second crew will start on Elm Street in Penacook and work south. The third crew will start on Manchester Street and work north on the east side of the river.
Crew 1: Blossom Hill Cemetery - South
Crew 2: Elm Street (Penacook) - South
Crew 3: Manchester Street – North (East of Merrimack River)
View our Fall Leaf Collection Crew Sector Map to see a full map of where our crews plan to collect. There is a limited time for crews to get through the city before the onset of winter. Due to this, crews can only come by once and work as weather permits, focusing on residential roads with drainage areas to keep the City's stormwater system clear. Crews will not return to a location already collected. Residents are advised to have their leaves to the curb by the start of the program to not miss collection. There is no set timeline for when crews will reach certain areas. Unpredictable leaf volumes and weather conditions make it not possible to know when areas will receive collection, so be ready!
Once collection starts, our Fall Leaf Collection Map will be updated daily during the week to display areas that crews have finished collecting. Please note that the map is not available in real time and only displays roads completed from the previous day, but can be used to provide a general idea of the vicinity of crews (although the course of direction is subject to change). Zoom in on the map to the color-coded crew routes to view the dates of completed collection.
Veterans Day Collection
The only area that has a predetermined scheduled collection is the area around Concord High School in coordination with the Veterans Day holiday school closure. This area is scheduled for leaf collection on Veterans Day each year to minimize public disturbance and in consideration of public safety. The public is advised to please avoid parking next to leaf piles in this area on this day to not block our equipment from safely collecting leaves. As shown on the map below, streets outlined in yellow will receive bulk leaf collection on Monday, November 11, 2019. Crews will resume collection in their previously designated areas after the holiday.
Bagged Fall Leaf Collection
November 18, 2019 - December 6, 2019
Last year we introduced bagged leaf collection for the first time in the fall, and we're happy to see that it was a big success! Bagged collection has added more predictability, more opportunity, and a guaranteed collection alternative.
Again this year, there will be three weeks of bagged collection that will run simultaneously with the last weeks of bulk collection (detailed above). Bagged collection will start on November 18th and continue through December 6th. Unlike bulk leaf collection, bagged collection is not weather dependent and will continue through December 6th as planned.
The City of Concord's contractor for trash and recycling, Casella Waste Systems, will collect leaves in biodegradable yard waste bags and/or labeled rigid containers. Leaves must be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. each Monday during bagged collection. Bagged leaf collection in the fall will not necessarily coincide with trash collection like it does in the spring due to variable leaf volumes at the curb. Leaves must be placed at the curb at the beginning of the week, regardless of your trash collection day. Leaf collection may occur ahead of your trash collection or behind your trash collection, depending on the amount of leaves at the curb. This will allow Casella to separate leaf collection from trash collection, minimizing any possibly delays in trash routes and maximizing overall efficiency of collection.
Residents are encouraged to bag their leaves to guarantee collection. Bagged collection will also provide an opportunity for residents to bag any leaves that our Highway and Utilities Division were not able to collect through bulk collection. Our Highway and Utilities Division will not be returning to any areas they have already collected, but residents can still get rid of any remaining leaves with the bagged collection. Residents that participate in bagged collection will have three separate guaranteed collections during the weeks of the bagged program. Bagged collection will not end early in the event of winter weather. If the winter weather happens to set in early, bulk collection will be suspended for crews to shift priority to winter operations, but bagged collection will still continue through December 6th to allow residents the opportunity to dispose of their leaves. We thank residents that proactively bagged their leaves ahead of the early snow last year to ensure their leaves were ready and collected. We recommend planning accordingly again this year. This three week bag program is the perfect way to ensure all leaves have been collected before the leaf collection program comes to an end.
Drop-Off Leaves
Residents also have the option to also bring their leaves to a local farm or to Gelinas Excavation & Earth Recycling Center. Disposal is free at Gelinas Excavation & Earth Recycling Center if the load is smaller than a non-commercial pick-up truck. Brush, branches, and limbs can be dropped off separately for a nominal fee. Proof of residency is required. Loads must be 100% free of any unacceptable materials. Residents will be required to empty contents of bags or containers when disposing of leaves (bags or containers must be taken back with you). Visit www.concordnh.gov/earthmaterialsrecycling for more information.
Additional Information
Only leaves will be collected. Branches, rocks, brush, and miscellaneous items will not be collected. Leaves collected are taken to several locations for composting. Subscribe to the General Services calendar or Notify Me to receive notifications of future Fall Leaf Collection dates and other important events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Provide Your Feedback
We realize our bulk leaf collection faces some challenges, including: collecting leaves too early from an area before all the leaves have fallen, suspending collection before reaching all residents due to the onset of winter weather, and the uncertainty of when collection will occur due to unpredictable leaf volumes and weather conditions. However, we also have heard from many residents that the bulk collection is a very convenient and appreciated program. Adding the bagged collection last year to our existing bulk collection adds an additional service to address these challenges, while providing more predictability and opportunity for residents to participate in our program. Your feedback last year expressed the appreciation for this added bagged collection and proved it to be a success. We heard you again and have made some changes again this year to include the south end with our alternating starting positions. The south end will now begin to alternate their starting location each year, just like the north and east side. We agree that this change will make bulk collection more fair and equitable for residents in the south end.
Fall Leaf Collection Feedback Form
We invite you to share your thoughts with us on this program change. Please fill out our short form to provide us with your feedback on this year's Concord Fall Leaf Collection. Your submission will be anonymous and will provide information to help us improve our program to better serve the community. We thank you for your feedback.

After a drawn-out legal process, Green Taxi Cooperative received approval to operate its 800 driver-owned and -operated business in Denver, becoming the largest worker cooperative in the state of Colorado.
Can We Build a Movement for Structural Economic Change? We Must
Our Director of Special Projects Steve Dubb describes the need to link community economic development and the new economy movement in this Shelterforce Rooflines blog.
Infographic: Health Systems Adopting Anchor Strategies
This infographic cites exemplary practices already in place at anchor institutions - place-based hospitals and universities - that work towards more inclusive and local hiring practices as a way to build wealth in their surrounding communities.
State legislatures attacking community wealth building
The eyes of the country turned this spring to North Carolina, where the state legislature passed the infamous HB2 "bathroom bill" in order to overturn the efforts of the Charlotte city council to make public bathrooms inclusive and safe for transgender individuals. HB2—with its extraordinarily broad attacks on LGBT individuals' rights to equal protection under the law—has been roundly condemned by everyone from grassroots activists to some of our country's largest corporations, not to mention federal leaders from the DOJ and the White House.
Growing Healthcare's Anchor Mission
On January 27, Democracy Collaborative Manager of Healthcare Engagement David Zuckerman joined leaders in healthcare on a web forum to discuss the emerging anchor mission model in healthcare. Hosted by Dialogue4Health, the forum brought together Steve Standley, Chief Administrative Officer of University Hospitals, Tyler Norris, Vice President of Total Health Partnerships at Kaiser Permanente, Amy Slonim, Senior Program Officer with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; and Matthew Marsom, Vice President of Public Policy and Programs at the Public Health Institute.
Municipal leaders share visions for cities that build community wealth
How can cities redeploy their economic development resources to focus on building a more inclusive economy grounded in broad, local ownership? How can policymakers get strategies like worker cooperative development the support and resources needed to reach truly meaningful scale? How can collaborations between communities, local government, and key institutional stakeholders build pathways to economic equity for the people left behind by the traditional trickle-down economic playbook?
Health Care Confronts Challenge to Shift from "Volume to Value"
In this article written for the Rooflines blog, our Director of Special Projects Steve Dubb discusses the shift in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement from volume to value, and the implications this has for community economic development. Steve draws on our recent paper "Can Hospitals Heal America's Communities?", co-authored by Democracy Collaborative President Ted Howard and Kaiser Permanente Vice President of Total Health Partnerships Tyler Norris, and discusses the shifting role of healthcare to improve health outside hospital walls.
"Coopify": a new platform bringing broad-based ownership to your smartphone
Although worker cooperatives are gaining traction in many cities nationwide, one challenge they face as a movement is their ability to operate on large scales. Some argue that cooperatives can't extend their benefits to larger audiences because of their focus on democratic participation and involvement of all individuals in proceedings of the organization. In other words, the famous cooperative tagline of "one worker, one vote" might seem to be a barrier to cooperative expansion.
A City with Opportunities for All: Toronto, Canada
Like many major metropolitan areas in the United States, Toronto is experiencing fast-paced growth. Canada's finance and business capital has more cranes in the sky than New York City—with nearly 50 percent more high-rises undergoing construction than in the big apple.
A St. Louis organization goes above and beyond providing homes for communities
The killing of Michael Brown by a police officer in Fergsuon, Missouri, and the subsequent wave of protests illuminated for a national public the deep racial inequities in greater St. Louis. We sat down with Chris Krehmeyer, head of Beyond Housing, a local community development corporation founded in 1975, to learn about how they've been building a comprehensive approach blending affordable housing, community land trusts, public health, and business development aimed at changing the systems that perperuate disinvestment in African-American communities in the St.
Can Community Wealth Building Redefine City Economic Development?
In this article written for the Rooflines blog, our Director of Special Projects Steve Dubb points out key examples of equitable and sustainable alternatives to the traditional forms of economic development found in a new report released by Good Jobs First. Dubb highlights the case studies presented in our report, Cities Building Community Wealth as essential new approaches to combat the detrimental effects of traditional development practices.
What the defeat of marijuana legalization in Ohio tells us about the kind of economy people are sick and tired of
Ohio's marijuana legalization effort suffered a crushing defeat on November 3rd. In the aftermath, there is much conversation about why Ohioans opposed the measure so strongly. Some have pointed to the bad timing of an off-year election, others to lingering puritanical opposition to drug use. But the strongest and most consistent message is the strong populist resistance to legally establishing a business structure that leaves out every day people.
Leaving aside heated rhetoric about the evils of "Big Pot," the fact is that, had Issue 3 passed, it would have established a system of elite and most likely absentee ownership, as opposed to community-based family businesses. Voters recognized the need for local, broad-based ownership as the foundation of a thriving, resilient economy.

Even with a broad subject knowledge, we can all be tripped up when it comes to alternate definitions of terms, especially for questions as sparse as the MAT. Analogies are as pared down as it is possible to be in a language problem (as opposed to the unambiguous nature of math equations). When preparing, it is a good idea to be familiar with as many variant definitions as possible so you can be prepared to find multiple meanings on the MAT exam.
Taking just a few examples from previous vocabulary posts, we can examine the possibilities just in a few terms.
Harrow (v): pillage or plunder; also to distress (Hearkening back to his Viking ancestors, the large man decided to harrow the neighbors when he was upset.)
The first meaning given here is actually an archaic meaning; it's not often used this way anymore. A more common meaning is the second listed, "to distress," and even the part of speech is changed by adding "-ing" the end. You will frequently read something like a 'harrowing journey' to indicate that it was stressful.
Knell (v): to ring for death; to make an ominous sound (The bellringer was charged to knell every evening for a week after the minister's death.)
A variant meaning is to use this as a noun and describe the "death knell" as forbidding or ominous. Remember, many alternate meanings use the word as a different part of speech even if the tone of the expression is the same.
Goad (v): to urge or force someone to do something; a pointed object to make an animal move (The dare was the final goad for the young man to jump into action.)
Here is another example of using a verb as a noun. Instead of "goading into action," a rancher can use a "goad to get the animals in the pen." A verbal goad can also start an argument in which case the opponent can claim to be 'goaded.'
Bombast (n): speech or writing that sounds important but is not sincere or meaningful (The bombast of the politician's speech was criticized by listeners.)
While this term is often used in conjunction with politics, it can easily apply to a 'bombastic minister' who is more concerned with numbers than souls.
These are just a few examples of the multiple meanings on the MAT that you may encounter. I encourage you to read, read, read all types of literature (here is a great guide) and a wide range of subjects to ensure you have the best grasp on all the variant definitions of the terms you will encounter during the exam.

With the bases loaded and one out, Aaron Simpson (1-for-2, RBI) walked in a run, making it a one-run game. Dominic Campeau (2-for-5, RBI) reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Greg Lamb (1-for-2) from third for the game-tying run.
Cypress reliever Daniel Foret (W, 2-1) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to put the Chargers in position to win the game.
Sophomore infielder Pierson Loska (2-for-5, HR) led off the bottom of the ninth with a solo shot over the right field wall, ending both the Pirates' six-game winning streak and the Chargers' three-game skid, with a swing of the bat.

From our sponsors:
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic

More info: crystalballroompdx.com
Crystal Ballroom
1332 W Burnside St. Oregon 97209
George Clinton is one of the foremost innovators of funk music, and was the mastermind behind the bands Parliament and Funkadelic. Clinton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.
Clinton started his career with the Parliaments, a barbershop doo-wop ensemble, which scored a major hit with "I Wanna Testify" in 1967. Clinton then began experimenting with harmonies, melody, and rhythm, and taking cues from the psychedelic movement, forever setting himself apart from the Motown era.
By the early 1970s, the group's tight songs evolved into sprawling jams around funky rhythms. They dropped the "s" from the band name and Parliament was born. Around the same time, Clinton spawned Funkadelic, a rock group which fused psychedelic guitar distortion, bizarre sound effects, and cosmological rants with danceable beats and booming bass lines. Funkadelic recorded a number of influential concept albums, including Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow, Maggot Brain, and America Eats Its Young.
Parliament and Funkadelic captured 40 hit R&B singles, including No. 1 hits "Flashlight," "One Nation Under a Groove," "Aqua Boogie," and "(Not Just) Knee Deep." Clinton's collaborators included keyboardist Bernie Worrell, guitarist Eddie Hazel, bassist Bootsy Collins, saxophonist Maceo Parker, trombonist Fred Wesley. On stage, spectacle ruled the day, with an enormous mothership, outrageous costumes, and marathon performances.

The Book of 4 Ezra from the Dead Sea Scrolls
Question: Which nation does this prophecy speak about?There are certain prophecies in Old Jewish religious books which are totally incompatible with the theory that the Final Prophet, The Chosen One is a descendant of David.
These prophecies point to a non-Israelite prophet, someone from a different nation.
Muslims have always maintained that Muhammed [pbuh], the descendant of Ishmail and Abraham was the prophet mentioned in the Torah who God promised, will spread His words in the nations, and show the His light to the Gentiles.
Today, I highlight prophecies in the Book of 4Ezra, also known as 2 Esdras, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls:
24 What shall I do unto thee, O Jacob? thou, Juda, wouldest not obey me: I will turn me to other nations, and unto those will I give my name, that they may keep my statutes.
32 I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom ye have taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, saith the Lord.
33 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out as the wind doth stubble.
34 And your children shall not be fruitful; for they have despised my commandment, and done the thing that is an evil before me.
#235 Your houses will I give to a people that shall come; which not having heard of me yet shall believe me; to whom I have shewed no signs, yet they shall do that I have commanded them.
36 They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their sins to remembrance, and acknowledge them.
37 I take to witness the grace of the people to come, whose little ones rejoice in gladness: and though they have not seen me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the thing that I say.
38 And now, brother, behold what glory; and see the people that come from the east:
39 Unto whom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas,
40 Nahum, and Abacuc, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zachary, and Malachy, which is called also an angel of the Lord.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, otherwise known as "Mormons". I was doing some personal study on how the Lord's covenant to Abraham would be fulfilled as described in Jacob 5 in the Book of Mormon. This chapter is an allegory attibuted to the writings of an ancient Israelite prophet named Zenos. This allegory was described by the Nephite prophet, Jacob, to his people who had settled in Ancient America. Jacob says its source is from plates of brass that his family brought from Jeruselem around 600 BC. Jacob's father Lehi, an Israelite prophet in Jeruselem, was instructed to flee Jeruselem's destruction and were led to America at that time. Shortly after their flight, Jeruselem was destroyed by the Babylonians.
Jacob 5 tells how apostacy among Israel's seed would lead to their scattering to various parts of the earth. Some to be "grafted in" with the Gentiles, others to remain with the tribe of Judah (with gentiles grafted in to them), and yet another to be led to a sparsely populated yet fertile part of the earth. In the last days, the gentiles (many who also have israelite lineage) would bring to pass the restoration of the gospel of Christ to the entire House of Israel, starting with the branch taken to America and finishing with the tribe of Judah. It is our belief that the land of America and the founding of the USA, provided the fertile ground in which our founding prophet Joseph Smith was able to restore the gospel to the world. The gentile nations who were led to America, brought with them the Bible and converted many of Lehi's descendants to Christianity. It was their desire for freedom of worship that led to the founding of our great nation. It is our belief that Joseph Smith is the prophet who ushered in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times, after which the Messiah will come and reign personally on the earth. When I read these passages to which you refer, I consider the gentile nations to be the nations that are referred to in verse 24. 34 refers to the evil works of the House of Israel and its apostacy. 35 and 36 describe the nations of the gentiles who were not blessed to be part of the Abrahamic Covenant, but will be "adopted-in" as they convert to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do not consider Joseph Smith to be the Chosen One, but rather this is Jesus Christ. Go to http://www.lds.org and then click on gospel library/scriptures/book of mormon/jacob. I would encourage you to read Jacob 4 as well. Here he presents the question,
"17 And now, my beloved, how is it possible that these, after having rejected the sure foundation, can ever build upon it, that it may become the head of their corner?
18 Behold, my beloved brethren, I will unfold this mystery unto you; if I do not, by any means, get shaken from my firmness in the Spirit, and stumble because of my over anxiety for you."
In other words, How can the House of Israel ever become as great in the last days as is prophesied if they will reject and crucify Christ? He then answers it with Zenos' Allegory.
I admit, that the veracity of the Book of Mormon is a question of personal acceptance, faith and testimony, unlike the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, it does provide some unique insight into some of these questions. I believe it to be true and that it restores many of the plain and precious truths that were once available to ancient believers.
Thank you for your kindness and for your invitation to provide more references. There is a more basic website for the neophyte wanting to educate themselves regarding our religion and its scripture.
Try http://www.mormon.org This is a great non-threatening site where you can peruse our beliefs and even ask questions. We are a missionary religion, but you won't feel like you just walked into a Foot Locker to browse for shoes at this website. 🙂
I would also encourage you to read the books 1st and 2nd Nephi, as well as Jacob in the Book of Mormon (found on lds.org) These books will give you some terrific insight into God's purposes for the seed of Abraham and how He will fulfill His covenant with him.
You should read these books in the context of God the Father and Jesus Christ being two distinct personages. The Father being our Creator and father of our spirits, and Jesus being the Creator of the Earth and the heavens, the Only Begotten of the Father, the Savior of our souls (from sin as well as from death), and our God.
We see Jesus as our god and our father because of his grace in saving us from sin and temporal death. However, he is distinct from God the Father, to whom we pray. We believe Christ to be the head of our church who communicates to our modern day prophet and apostles via continuing revelation as he directs his church. Hence the name, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
While reading the early books in the Book of Mormon, Jesus had yet to be born, and so therefore as of that time had no body. He is the one who visits the Nephite prophets Lehi, Nephi, and Jacob. It is he who visited the ancient prophets of the Old Testament. He later obtained his body as a result of a virgin birth which was begotten by the Father (who has an immortal and glorified body of flesh and bone). Christ visited the Nephites after his death as a resurrected being, having an immortal and glorified body like unto the Father's.
This is a very unique view we have of the nature of God that is not found in other Christian religions.
I hope this is helpful. I look forward to learning more of Islam and its relationship to Christianity and Judaism. I believe that tolerance and understanding of one another's beliefs is essential if we are to ever experience peace in our lifetimes.
4 Ezra (the "apocalypse", i.e. chapters 3-14) was written some 30 years after the destruction of the 2nd Temple. Qumran (the site of the Dead Sea Scrolls) was destroyed by the Romans ca. 68 CE. There is no way that 4 Ezra was found among the scrolls. Here it starts and so it goes.

Tenant Eviction in Texas
I had to file eviction in JP Court on one of my tenants this month. I've evicted more than 80 tenants in Austin since 1990, but it's been about 4 years since my last one. In the old days (the 1990's) when I managed 4-plexes and some lower end properties, eviction filings were more frequent. Now that we don't handle low-end properties, it's not often we have to evict a tenant.
What's involved in evicting a tenant in Texas?
The following is an outline of the basic steps for tenant eviction as I perform them. This is not legal advice, but an overview of the administrative steps and my personal experience. For legal advice, contact an attorney.
1) Make Sure You Have a Good Lease Agreement
It all starts with a proper lease agreement. A TAR (Texas Association of Realtors) or TAA (Texas Apartment Association) lease will properly protect your rights as a landlord and afford the necessary legal language. If you hire a Realtor to lease your property, you'll have a TAR lease. You can join TAA as an individual, but many single-property owners find the dues to be high (though I've seen landlord boo-boos that would have paid 10 years TAA dues). Otherwise, have a good real estate attorney provide a lease for you if you are a do-it-yourself landlord. Why is this important?…
The worst lease I ever saw was an office supply store special that afforded the tenant a 30 day grace period to pay rent (because the owner filled "30" days into that blank not knowing any better) followed by a 30 day "cure" clause (same thing, clueless owner filled in a blank with "30").
This meant the tenant had to be 30 days late before a "demand to cure" (as the lease termed it) letter could be sent, then the demand letter had to give another 30 days to cure. After taking over that property from the owner, whom the "professional deadbeat" tenant was running circles around and was already more than two month's behind in rent, I had to send the demand letter (which the owner had not done because she was afraid of conflict) and wait 30 days before sending a Notice to Vacate. It took another three weeks after that for the court date, and another 5 days which the court provides to appeal or vacate. Then the tenant finally vacated, leaving the home trashed with litter and junk furniture.
That owner lost a total of 4 month's rent plus damages by the time it was said and done. How much do you think the owner "saved" by using that cheap office supply store lease and not seeking help from an attorney or a professional leasing agent? The owner also told ne that no credit report or eviction search or criminal background check was done on the tenant. "She seemed like a perfectly nice young lady" the owner told me. Deadbeat tenants are experts at seeming to be nice people, and they only seek rentals from do-it-yourself landlords who they know won't check them out properly. But I'm drifting into another topic, tenant screening, so back to the eviction process …
2) Don't delay taking action.
Every step in the eviction process must be preceded by another step. Dragging your feet or delaying any step sets you that much further behind in the following steps. Be diligent and don't let the tenant slow you down with promises or stories.
Send the late notice immediately upon non-payment of rent. We mail late notices on the 4th of each month because the grace period ends on the 3rd. There is no reason to wait longer. Send it the very first day that rent is late. Not doing so is foolish and unprofessional. I've met and talked to many do-it-yourself landlords over the years who don't treat their landlord activity as a profession. This is a mistake. Even if you own only one rental house, you are in the business of being a landlord. Act accordingly or it will cost you money.
3) Send the Notice to Vacate
If rent is not received immediately (within 5 days) after the late notice is mailed, send the Notice to Vacate for Non-Payment of Rent promptly, no later than the 10th of the month. Sticking to this time line is imperative. Don't waiver, don't listen to stories from the tenant about having the rent on the 15th, etc. This is how goodhearted landlords get led around by the nose by deadbeat tenants who tell good stories.
If the tenant contacts you wanting to work things out, let the tenant know that you hope an eviction can be avoided, but that the only thing that will stop the eviction process is full payment of the rent and late fees. Ask if they have family they can call for financial assistance, or if they have stuff they can pawn. Also, let them know that once you file with the JP Court, any further discussion will need to be in front of the Judge on the court date.
4) File the eviction at JP Court
File at JP Court immediately after the passage of the date given in the Notice to Vacate. Don't delay or have further conversation with the tenant about it, just go do it.
Each JP Court has a set of written instructions they will provide, as well as a form to fill out. Follow those instructions exactly. You'll need a copy of the Lease Agreement and the Notice to Vacate (some require two copies of each). Again, don't delay. (Are you noticing a theme here with regard to timeliness of action?).
Once the eviction is filed, a constable will drive to the property to serve papers to the tenant. Once served, the tenant has 6 days to respond. If they respond, a court date is set fairly soon thereafter. If they don't respond, you can contact the court to set a date for a "Default Judgment", which grants you possession of the property plus unpaid rents.
5) Appear in Court
If your tenant shows up for the Court date, which often happens, that is the time and place to decide if their tenancy is salvageable. If they have cash or money order in hand, it's best to see if you can work it out with them, but I do so only after we're standing in front of the Judge and I receive a judgment in my favor.
What generally happens is that the tenant wants to tell a story to the Judge. Often this will include unflattering stories about the landlord, condition of the property, etc. Also there is usually a story or explanation about why they don't have the rent, their car broke down, they lost a job, when they might have it, etc.
The Judge, however, will ask the tenant only two questions:
– Is your rent in fact unpaid?
– If so, do you have a legal reason for it being unpaid?
The "legal reason" never exists unless a landlord had neglected repairs and the tenant has issued proper notices, so I'm not going to explain that further. I've not once witnessed an eviction hearing where a tenant did have legal reason.
Once the Judge determines that the rent is unpaid, he will review the lease and the notices provided to the tenant. This is where it's important to have a good lease and to have followed the notification steps properly. If all is in order, the judgment will be in favor of the landlord and the tenant will be told they have 5 days to appeal (which is really 5 days to move out). I've never had a tenant file an appeal because doing so requires payment of a bond equal to the unpaid rent. If they had the money for that, they could have paid the rent.
6) File a Writ of Possession
If, after the 5 days pass the tenant does not move out, you have to go back to JP Court and file a Writ of Possession. I've had to do this only 3 or 4 times in almost 20 years. But when needed, the Constable will set an appointment with you to come to the property while you have the tenant's remaining possession set out on the street and have a locksmith rekey the locks. You'll have to physically remove the stuff yourself or hire movers to do it for you.
That's it. After all that, you have regained legal possession of your property. Fun stuff, huh? It can largely be avoided with careful tenant selection from the outset, but even good tenants go bad sometimes.

Joanna Schroeder gives a standing ovation to Vikings punter Chris Kluwe for his impassioned open letter about marriage equality, and insists that if we aren't all doing the same, we're participating in oppression.
You're at a party, maybe it's a barbecue. Maybe people from your church or your place of employment are in attendance. Maybe it's your high school reunion, or your yearly fraternity reunion. Whatever it is, you're there and someone says something along the lines of, "I don't hate gays, I just think homosexuality is a sin."
Or maybe they say, "I think gay people should have every right to be gay, but I don't think they should be able to marry. Marriage is for one man and one woman. We can't go changing that now." And you pause. You look at your buddy and you think to yourself You're totally wrong, dude, and I had no idea you were a closed-minded bigot!
Then you go through the internal debate that we've all experienced dozens of times when we feel our basic moral beliefs are being challenged. Should I, or should I not say something to this person? I don't want to upset them or cause a problem … .
Our hesitance to challenge another often comes from a good place—a place of consideration for those around us who probably don't want to hear a big political debate. We all probably notice a few beads of sweat on our upper lip when someone in a casual setting challenges another's political or ethical stance. And we don't want to do that to the people around us … We don't want people to feel uncomfortable, right?
On Friday, Minnesota Vikings' punter Chris Kluwe wrote an open letter to Maryland state delegate Emmett C. Burns Jr. about same-sex marriage. And the letter was not nice. Burns recently urged Steve Bisciotti (majority owner of the NFL) to silence his players about the issue of gay marriage after NFL player Brendon Ayenbadejo spoke out in favor of gay marriage—something state delegate Burns believes NFL players shouldn't have the right to do.
Kluwe's letter was published on Deadspin and has already gone massively viral, acquiring over 600,000 views in less than 12 hours. That's INSANE, almost unheard of! Kluwe says, among about a billion other awesome things (laced with some of the most eloquent profanity we've ever read), the following:
As recently as 1962 the NFL still had segregation, which was only done away with by brave athletes and coaches daring to speak their mind and do the right thing, and you're going to say that political views have "no place in a sport"?
and this:
How does gay marriage, in any way shape or form, affect your life? If gay marriage becomes legal, are you worried that all of a sudden you'll start thinking about penis? "Oh shit. Gay marriage just passed. Gotta get me some of that hot dong action!" Will all of your friends suddenly turn gay and refuse to come to your Sunday Ticket grill-outs? (Unlikely, since gay people enjoy watching football too.)
I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won't come into your house and steal your children. They won't magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster.
and this (emphasis mine):
I've also been vocal as hell about the issue of gay marriage so you can take your "I know of no other NFL player who has done what Mr. Ayanbadejo is doing" and shove it in your close-minded, totally lacking in empathy piehole and choke on it. Asshole.
It's that last one that's the clincher for me.
Here's the thing: When you say nothing, you're telling the person who is spouting hate that you agree. When you simply nod and change the subject, you're saying, "You're right, I think being gay is abhorrent, and I think LGBT people should be denied their civil rights." And the more people who say that to your pal, even if they say it with their silence, the more he believes he is right, and that he is in the majority.
That's why it's your job as a good person (you do think you're a good person, don't you?) to stand up for your LGBT brethren. It's your job to be the person who says, "Actually, I think you're wrong" to that lady who insists the family needs to be protected from gay marriage. Why is it your job? Because it's all of our jobs to defend those we care about against someone who wants to harm them. And people who are against same-sex marriage actually want to harm your LGBT friends, at the very least in the form of discrimination, and at the worst with violence. Remember Matthew Shepard? We need to never forget Matthew Shepard (and the many others like him).
You may think your friend, the one who is against same-sex marriage, is a good person. And maybe she is. Maybe she volunteers at the soup kitchen and brings meals to her friends who have just had babies. That's so good of her; I admire that. But, as my friends Hugo Schwyzer and Michael Rowe explained to me not too long ago, the time is rapidly approaching where those who are bigoted against LGBT people can no longer be considered "good", just as it's very hard to imagine that the racist guy who thinks Black people shouldn't legally be able to marry White people is actually a really good person deep inside his rancid, bigoted heart.
Beyond that, I believe there is a way to talk about our support of gay marriage that isn't mean or highly confrontational. You don't have to say, "You bigoted piece of crap!" to your neighbor at the block party (though I wouldn't blame you). You can make your stance clear by saying, "I believe all Americans should have equal access to legal and civil rights, regardless of race, sexual orientation or anything else."
You don't have to insult your friend. You can keep your statements to yourself, what you believe, and the legality of the situation. You're probably not going to convince an evangelical Christian that homosexuality is not a sin, or that they're hypocrites for not following all of the other rules and regulations set forth in Leviticus.
But you can explain that we don't legislate the other things the Bible says are sins, simply because the Bible says they're bad. It's not against the law to lie, or to cheat on your spouse, or to lust after your neighbor's brand new Husqvarna chainsaw. It's not illegal to acquire a massive fortune while children starve four miles away from your home. And yet the Bible makes clear that these things are sins. Even evangelical pastor Perry Noble asserts that the Bible takes a much stronger stance against gluttony than it does against homosexuality. And yet there are no laws against Supersizing that Big Mac Combo meal and tacking a hot fudge sundae onto the order.
Explain it calmly. Tell them they have every right to believe it's a sin, but that they don't have the right to prevent any law-abiding citizen's equal access to civil rights. And yes, marriage is a civil right! It is a legal process—it happens in the courts—and it affords people civil benefits in taxation, social security, property ownership, inheritance, and in many other ways.
You never know, your friend may be like Emmett C. Burns Jr. and truly believe that no other NFL player is speaking out in favor of same-sex marriage equality. Yeah, I know you don't play for the NFL, but maybe you'll be one of the first elementary school teachers, or construction site overseers, or Catholics, or members of a bowling league, or computer programmers, or youth leader, or fathers of four daughters, or accounts managers, or whatever else it is about you that makes you who you are, who speaks out about same-sex marriage equality to this particular friend of yours.
Because until you say it, even if you say it gently and with love, you're a part of the problem. Until you say it out loud, even when it's a bit uncomfortable, you're telling the oppressors that what they believe is a-okay by you.
You cool with that?
Oh, and Chris Kluwe? You're a great writer and seem like a very good man. Thank you.

I have a new pupil who has very limited access to a piano to practise, and limited English. I think she's around grade 3-4 standard. Her mum has asked me to get her playing again, so we're looking for a book of music she will really enjoy.
I have played L'Orage (Burgmuller), and a beautiful Heller study, and she's starting off with some Walter Carroll. None of these have delighted her...(I asked for marks out of 10 for how much she likes them, due to limited English - something I also do for silent younger pupils.) These were given 7... However, playing Pianoworks Duets book 1, Hello Jamaica! (Allan Bullard) she gave it 9...So looking for something upbeat in a similar vein, but solo.
Any ideas?

Get your luxe fix with this new doco DVD; sharing eeeeverything you never knew about Tiffany's and the Little Blue Box. The perfect indulgence for your long weekend.
Crazy about Tiffany's / a Matthew Miele film.
Tiffany & Co. has captured the aspirational dreams of the world with its legendary jewels, signature blue box, and timeless elegance and sophistication. From past to present, from the behind the scenes characters to those clients beholden to the charm of Tiffany & Co., this full authorized documentary seeks to capture how a simple jewelry store dating from 1837 has woven itself into the American culture and consciousness to become an unparalleled global phenomenon.
I recently watched this DVD and it's excellent; a sneak-peek into the preparations behind the New York Met's exhibition China: Behind the looking Glass and, of course, the deliciously ritzy Met Gala, spear-headed by Anna Wintour. I probably wouldn't bother wearing these shoes to watch the film but I'd definitely consider wearing them to the Met Gala. I recommend reserving this one now – it's the perfectly glamorous watch for this coming long weekend.
The first Monday in May / a Fabiola Beracasa Beckman production ; a Andrew Rossi film.
Each year, on the first Monday in May, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York opens its doors to host the biggest event on the fashion calendar, The Met Gala, the opening night party to the Costume Institutes annual fashion exhibition. THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY follows Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton, as they orchestrate the years most lavish party and The Mets most attended fashion exhibition in history, China: Through The Looking Glass. With unprecedented access, filmmaker Andrew Rossi offers an exclusive all-access pass to the creation of the exhibition that explores China's substantial influence on Western fashion. Featuring legendary film and fashion creatives including Wong Kar Wai, Baz Luhrmann, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Andr Leon Talley, and intimate access to contemporary pop icons like Rihanna, THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY explores whether fashion should be viewed as art and captures the creativity, passion, and inspiration behind the exhibition and gala.

Across a career that spanned half a century, she edited Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, discovered Lauren Bacall (and innumerable others) and was style consultant to Jackie Onassis. This is her philosophy: on life, on fashion and on making it in an industry which so many desire to be part of and so few know how to crack"–Container.

Fields of dreams are great, but innovate and they will come. That is the message that KaBOOM! CEO James Siegal will deliver when he takes the stage at the 2016 Project Play Summit on May 17 at the Newseum's Knight Conference Center.
Hosted by the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, the 2016 Project Play Summit is the nation's premier gathering at the intersection of youth, health and sports. Over 350 thought leaders will join Siegal at the all-day event to take measure of the collective progress made in the past year, learn through session dialogues, and celebrate the announcement of new initiatives that will increase access to early positive sports experiences.
Siegal will join a panel inspired by the Project Play strategy to "Think Small" in creating play and sport spaces. It's the same strategy for which KaBOOM! was recognized in the seminal Aspen Institute report, Sport for All, Play for Life: A Playbook to Get Every Kid in the Game. Innovation and creativity have been the catalyst for the KaBOOM! Play Everywhere Challenge, making Siegal the perfect candidate to help answer the question framing the panel, "Can we systematize creativity in play spaces?" In reflecting on this question, Siegal will help attendees understand how they can take meaningful action in their communities and through their institutions to grow access to early positive sports experiences. The session will be moderated by Kevin Martinez of ESPN. Joining Siegal and Martinez will be Corliss Allen Solomon (Doctoral Student and Wayland H. Cato Jr. Fellow, University of North Carolina at Charlotte), Chip Patterson (Executive Director, The First Tee of Greater New Orleans), and Erin Smith (Director of Education and Training, US Lacrosse).
This is the second year that KaBOOM! is represented at the Project Play Summit, following KaBOOM! founder Darell Hammond's participation in 2015.
KaBOOM! Founder Darell Hammond at the 2015 Project Play Summmit
Other featured speakers at the 2016 event include: Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, President and CEO, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; Alonzo Mourning, NBA champion; Allyson Felix, Olympic champion sprinter; Mary Davis, CEO Special Olympics, Tab Ramos, Youth Technical Director, US Soccer Federation; Jim Whitehead, CEO, American College of Sports Medicine, and Benita Fitzgerald-Mosley, CEO, Laureus Foundation USA.
