In the spring semester, Colorado State University served 26,671 students at all levels of education. No matter where you are from, that is a lot of people to study, work and interact with, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed when you are new to it.
To help with the transition onto campus, The Collegian has compiled a list of five essential resources for students available online or on campus.
1. The Institute for Learning and Teaching
The Institute for Learning and Teaching, or TILT, functions as a tutoring, testing and resource center for any student on campus.
In addition to free tutoring for many of the sciences and study groups for specific courses across all the colleges, TILT hosts a variety of academic success workshops throughout the semester. Topics for these workshops include time management, exam preparation and procrastination. All the workshops are free.
During the coronavirus pandemic, all workshops, tutoring and academic support centers moved online to Canvas. All students need to do is follow the links provided on the TILT website to quickly register for the Canvas courses and have access to help typically found on campus.
2. The Assistive Technology Resource Center
The Assistive Technology Resource Center works with the Student Disability Center to provide assistive technology to students with disabilities. According to the ATRC website, students who may benefit from their services include those who have difficulties reading regular-sized text, seeing computer screens, taking notes in class, producing written work and more.
The ATRC provides all registered full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students with hardware and software loans that include alternative keyboards, digital recorders, Livescribe pens, text magnifiers and writing tools.
3. The Health Network
On top of providing a wide range of medical and dental services, the CSU Health Network offers counseling and health education services.
Counseling at the Health Network includes one-on-one sessions for individuals and couples, group therapy and mental health workshops. Other services include drug, alcohol and recovery counseling and spiritual care.
Check the Health Network's website on a regular basis to see what their procedures are during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The YOU@CSU program also offers guided support personalized to each student.
4. Rams Against Hunger
If you are struggling with food insecurity or do not have enough meal swipes at the dining hall, Rams Against Hunger is a program out of the office of Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement designed to reduce food insecurity on campus.
Rams Against Hunger offers three pocket pantries, all free to students, that supply non-perishable food items for those in need. The pantries are located in the Lory Student Center, the Aggie Village Family Center and the University Village Apartments.
Rams Against Hunger has also partnered with the Larimer County Food Bank to offer a food pantry to students. While the food pantry used to come to campus once a month, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the operations, and food pantry hours for the fall semester can be found on the Rams Against Hunger website.
5. Diversity Offices
The CSU Diversity Offices provide space for students in historically marginalized groups to find support and community. Each office has a multitude of student clubs, study spaces in the LSC and other resources geared toward their students available on their websites.
Contact each office to learn more about their policies and operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and check out this Collegian article from February to learn about the history of the campus cultural centers.
To find a full list of campus links, go to CSU's main website, click on "Resources" in the top right corner and look at the links listed under "Current Students."

Architectural lighting and shading solutions company Lutron Electronics, looked to inspire the architecture and design community at the Tate Modern last week, with Prismatic - A Lutron by Design Experience.
The interactive pop-up enabled London's design community to experiment with light in a bespoke iridescent cube fitted out with Lutron lighting tech; the resulting interplay of light and iridescent colour created a uniquely immersive experience.
Control came via the Lutron Lighting Designer App, which allowed visitors to experiment with the system and save their lighting creations for the structure.
The Prismatic cube utilised Lutron's flexible Athena lighting and shading control solution. Athena brings intuitive app-based setup and control to commercial lighting design and execution.
"Lutron launched in the 1960s with the aim of creating technology that would enable individuals to control light, inventing the dimmer switch," said Nicolla Farry, Specification Sales Supervisor at Lutron Electronics. "For 60 years we have been striving to provide the perfect light to our users. Prismatic provides lighting designers and the design community at large with the ability to manipulate light and experience first-hand the potential of Athena."
Following the London event, the Prismatic experience will continue in Madrid, Paris, and Milan, starting in April 2022.

Nikon COOLSHOT 20i GIII Golf Rangefinder - (16781)
COOLSHOT 20i GIII. Accuracy from any angle.
Get accuracy from any angle with the COOLSHOT 20i GIII, the third generation of Nikon's lightweight, rainproof COOLSHOT 20i golf rangefinder. Featuring integrated slope technology and superior Nikon optics with a multilayer coating and 6X magnification, you'll be ready for the most challenging courses. Golf Mode compensates for uphill and downhill shots—essential for deciding what club to use. First Target Priority assures that the measurement shown is for the flagstick and not any objects in the background. LOCKED ON QUAKE provides a gentle vibration as an added confirmation that you're on the pin. You can even scan for up to 8 seconds to get real-time measurements for obstacles, doglegs and other hazards.
Confidently approach any shot, from any angle.
When it comes to club selection, knowing the distance of your shot is everything. The lightweight, compact COOLSHOT 20i GIII gives you both actual distance and slope-adjusted measurements to account for distance with uphill or downhill shots—rain or shine. Measure up to 800 yards within 2 yards of accuracy. Reliably target the flagstick with First Target Priority mode, and get a clear confirmation vibration with LOCKED ON QUAKE when you hit it. You can even scan your surroundings for up to 8 seconds to get the lay of the land. Give your game a new angle.
6-800 YDS - Range
6X - Magnification
ID - Incline/Decline Mode
8 sec. - Continuous Scanning
LOCKED ON QUAKE - Flagstick Detection
Slope compensation when you want it.
The 'i' in COOLSHOT 20i GIII means it can factor an incline or decline into your measurement—key for uphill and downhill shots, and essential for deciding which club to use. (Complies with USGA Local Rule 14-3 for tournament play when Slope is turned off.)
Prioritize the pin.
With First Target Priority mode, the COOLSHOT 20i GIII will ignore background distractions like trees, shrubs or golf carts to make it easier to target the flagstick.
Bright, clear view.
Nikon has been a world-leader in optics for more than 100 years. The COOLSHOT 20i GIII uses a brilliant 6x monocular with a multilayer coating for bright, clear views, plus a diopter adjustment to fine tune for your vision.
Scan the lay of the land.
Press and hold the power button for up to 8 seconds to scan your surroundings in real-time for the distance of trees, water hazards, sandtraps and more.
Flagstick detection.
When scanning for the flagstick against a backdrop of trees and other objects, the COOLSHOT 20i GIII will provide a gentle vibration to let you know you've hit your target.
A little rain won't keep you off the course, and it won't stop the COOLSHOT 20i GIII from hitting the mark.
No one likes to carry bulky gear on the course. The COOLSHOT 20i GIII isn't much larger than a smartphone, and it's lightweight at just 4.6 oz.
Years of great play.
The COOLSHOT 20i GIII is backed by one of the best warranties available*. Season after season, you're covered.

The City of Casey has developed a new draft local law designed to regulate the use of Council's common seal and deal with inappropriate conduct at a Council Meeting.
At its meeting on Tuesday 13 December 2022, Council endorsed the draft Governance Local Law 2022 for public exhibition as a further mechanism to facilitate good governance at the City of Casey.
The proposed local law includes provisions to regulate the use of the common seal and offences for misuse, as well as offences for inappropriate conduct at Council meetings and meetings of delegated committees.
The common seal is the official stamp or 'signature' of Council, and every document to which the common seal is affixed must be attested by Council's Chief Executive Officer.
In line with the previous Local Government Act 1989, Council used to have a local law that covered conduct at Council Meetings and provisions around the use of the common seal. If members of the public, Councillors or staff breached these local laws, there were associated penalties involved.
As part of Council's transition to the new Local Government Act 2020 (the Act 2020), Council was required to create and endorse Governance Rules which were adopted in August 2020. The Governance Rules cover off procedures around the conduct of Council Meetings and use of the common seal, and so Council revoked the original Local Law to reduce confusion as to the status of the two documents.
However, offences and penalties cannot be addressed through the Governance Rules. That is why the draft Governance Local Law 2022 has been developed to provide further regulations around the use of the common seal and allow Council to issue a penalty in the event of misconduct at Council Meetings or meetings of delegated committees, as well as misuse of the common seal.
Council invites the community to view the draft Governance Local Law and provide a submission by 5.00 pm on Friday 27 January 2023.
Check it out and have your say on the Casey Conversations webpage.

By definition, self congruency means...in harmony of one's essential being. It's about having congruency and alignment, internally and externally.
And so far this year, I've been on this quest to understand what authenticity means.
What does authenticity actually look like?
What does it feel like to be authentic...to be who we are authentically and to live our life authentically?
And I've come to realize the journey to authenticity is certainly not one that's finite. It's a journey that begins with self awareness. Letting go of the shame and resentment through our healing work, and reclaiming our personal power that comes when we finally decide to live our truth and accepting who we truly are.
We are NOT our past. Our past, our failures, and our mistakes do not defined who we are, nor our destiny. And as human beings, we have different parts of who we are that makes us complex, but also unique and powerful because we have the ability to be co-creators of our own lives. We have the power to shape our destiny and to change the course of our life.
And through our own lived experience that is unique to us, we've developed certain parts of who we are that we've integrated along the way subconsciously in order to feel safe and to survive. We inherit certain adoptive behavioral patterns or coping strategies along the way that we leverage unconsciously. Some of the common adoptive behavioral patterns or coping strategies include people pleasing, avoidance, putting other people's needs above yours, perfectionism, and lack of boundaries to name a few. And part of this journey to authenticity is all about welding and integrating all parts of us with grace and gratitude for helping us cope and survive through different chapters and seasons of our journey.
Doing the inner work and embarking on a healing journey is incredibly essential to our journey to authenticity.
I truly believe one of the main challenges in our journey to authenticity is the fear of judgment or being criticized. And this gets amplified depending on our conditioning. And it gets amplified when we were raised in environments that perhaps did not allow freedom of self expression or environments that did not foster a safe space for exploration, for discovery, for trying new things and failing along the way.
It can also be through moments when we were invalidated or shamed for doing things a certain way, whatever it was. The problem with this is that when we're young, especially during our formative years, we don't have the ability to reason. Therefore, we subsconsciously accept the things that were said to us as true that shapes our identity as we enter adulthood - also known as our self-image.
The self image concept is incredibly essential because it is what shapes the person we become. It is what shapes our perception and our physical reality. And when we have this disillusioned sense of self, we develop a self image that is not supportive and does not support our goals and our desires.
Why do we end up creating the opposite of what we want in life?
This is where self image comes to play. It shapes the lens in which you see things, in which you see and view the world. It is why it is incredibly important to have awareness around your limiting beliefs, and unearth outdated beliefs and bring them to your conscious awareness.
When you have a poor self image, you have very low confidence in your own abilities. You often feel invaluable, incapable, and unworthy at the root of this identity that you've developed of you. It is what drives every choice you make, every action you take. It is what draws events and people to you that reflects your belief system - what you have accepted to be true about you, what you've accepted to be true about your capabilities, and what you believe you are deserving to have and deserving to be.
Perhaps subconsciously, you repeatedly tell yourself you're never good enough. And it's through events and experiences that you draw to you that validate this belief, which becomes a cyclical self-fulfilling prophecy. You are essentially co-creating a life you don't want in the first place.
The journey to authenticity is never ending and it's one that you constantly have to nurture. And the more you know yourself, the more you uncover your own limitations and the more you begin to expand your own awareness. You begin to see things differently and experiencee things differently. It is this unfolding process, but it's also the becoming process.
While it can be difficult and challenging to face our fears, our pain, our shame, our resentment, our shadow...parts of us that we try to suppress or hide, there's something so beautiful on the other side of the storm...and that is freedom and serenity within. This is when we feel at ease. And this comes when we fully embrace our flaws, because we have innate wisdom that's only unique to us. This is what makes us remarkable beings.
So when we begin to shift our perception that our experiences and how we've been able to move through challenges and tragedy is actually what makes us resilient, unique, valuable, and capable people. And this conscious realization is both freeing and liberating.
So embracing our flaws, and embracing our experiences without judgment and seeing them as they are...as growth opportunities that connect us to our life's purpose and to who we are meant to become.
This is the esssence of life. This is what the journey to authenticity means. It is infinite. It is never ending. But it is one that enables us to live our lives authentically. It is always evolving as we continue to grow and heal.

Biden Regime Buys 105 Million Doses of the Pfizer COVID Vaccine for Autumn
The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that they are intending to purchase another 105 million doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
They acquired these vaccines for the autumn season when the regime will roll out the pandemic fear once more in time for the midterm elections. The deal will be worth $3.2 billion, and the feds may purchase up to 300 million doses.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is readying themselves to authorize new versions of the shots. The vaccine has been modified to mitigate the supposed omicron variant. Only time will tell what horrible side-effects this new experimental chemical cocktail will bring upon the masses.
Big League Politics has reported on vaccine pushers experimenting on children in order to further boost their record profits:
"Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna have submitted an "emergency use" authorization to inject the COVID-19 vaccine into children under the age of six years old.
This is happening despite the fact that fear regarding the pandemic has waned and normalcy throughout society has essentially returned. It is also happening despite the fact that children are generally not affected by COVID-19 and do not typically carry the virus.
Big Pharma is not letting this crisis go to waste, that's for sure. They want their already grotesque profits to be bolstered further no matter how many children needlessly suffer as a result.
"We believe mRNA-1273 will be able to safely protect these children against SARS-CoV-2, which is so important in our continued fight against COVID-19, and will be especially welcomed by parents and caregivers," Stéphane Bancel, chief executive officer of Moderna, said in a press release.
"We like to see anything above 1,000 units, and what we, in fact, saw here are levels somewhere between 1,400 and 1,800 units," Dr. Paul Burton, chief medical officer of Moderna, said on Wednesday. "So that's extremely reassuring."
Pfizer-BioNTech claimed that testing for their COVID-19 jab in children "demonstrated a strong immune response in this age group following a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine with no new safety signals," according to their press release…
The COVID vaccine regime is the worst medical crime in history. Those responsible need to be brought to swift justice or civilization is doomed."
The pandemic is never going to end. Welcome to the new normal. There will be an endless amount of vaccines pushed on the public through fear. The New World Order is upon us, and resistance is the only option at this point.

Newt Gingrich nemesis Mitt Romney told Larry Kudlow last week that "phase two" of his tax plan was in the works but Godfather of Anti-Tax Policy Grover Norquist thinks he should save his energy.
"The smart move is to say, 'I'm with Paul Ryan,'" Norquist says. "Then it's not 'his plan,' and [Romney] can simply say, 'I've endorsed the House Republican plan' when prompted about tax reform."
Of course it won't be "his plan," Groves. It'll be your plan. MWAHAHAHAHAHA! *AHEM* Which is probably the smart move for Mittens because if you don't do what Grover says, you'll likely find yourself on the receiving end of a threat of impeachment.

Boy, 6, Stabbed in Neck at School Because He Likes Pink
AOL News
A 6-year-old boy who had been bullied because he liked to wear pink was stabbed in the neck at his preschool in central Sweden, media reports said today.
The boy, identified only as Oskar, was picked on because he liked pink clothes, nail polish and ballet, Jönköpings-Posten newspaper said. He had complained to his parents that classmates taunted him, calling him "gay" and a "girl."
The newspaper said Oskar was stabbed in an incident last week at the school. The knife used in the attack was blunt and the boy was not seriously hurt, but he had a noticeable injury on his neck, Jönköpings-Posten said, according to The Local, which carries Swedish news in English.
Staff at the school reportedly described the matter as a "small incident," The Local said.
Oskar's parents told Jönköpings-Posten they had yanked their son from the school and filed a complaint with the government agency that oversees preschools.
"I don't want to have my child at a school which considers a stab with a knife to be a 'small incident,'" the boy's mother said.
I always thought the Scandinavian countries were so enlightened? What gives? Not only that, I have vague recollections of being 6 years old and I don't remember anyone ever being stabbed by fellow six year olds or even thinking to do such a thing at that age!
As "enlightened" as any country is, there's always a certain amount of stupidity that follows with it.
bullies are a force of nature in any school. there will always be kids who get their kicks from making a weaker person feel miserable.
Note too that Jönköping is the unofficial capital of Sweden's Bible Belt
That does explain a lot actually
it explains stupidity, i would say. no offense intended, though
I understand that the bully was also around six years old. I know bullying is very common in school, but at such an early age and so violent… :afr:
I wonder if being stabbed to death would have been considered a major incident or just good riddance of a "future sinner" if it is a very homophobic region.
And all homophobes, at least in my country play the kids card. Like the kids psychic will be destroyed if he finds out that there are same sex couples or sees one. Or that it will turn them gay. So we need to protect the poor children. Off topic, with kids these days, we need protection from them.
What about gay children? Don't they need protection from violence? Don't the need to see that they aren't some freaks - that there are people like him.

Funseekers who tropped out in their thousands to witness this year's Calabar carnival have bemoaned the inability of the government to light up the city, especially the possession routes of the carnival.
Some of the funseekers spoke in a seperate interviews in Calabar on Wednesday at the day six of the annual carnival.
The respondents noted that the non-functional Street lights on the routes robbed the carnival which started on a high note during the day of the shine it deserved.
The 12km routes from Eleven Eleven Roundabout on the highway to Effio-Ette junction along Marian Road and down to the end point at the stadium.
They noted that the government should have done better by ensuring the functionality of the street lights long before the carnival period.
A respondent, Mr Pascal Bajie, an entrepreneur based in Calabar regretted that the 2022 edition of the carnival which last took placed in 2019 lacked the usual glamour.
He pointed out that before now the streets lights that had only functioned occasionally for years, should have been fixed for the purpose of the carnival.
According to him, I am actually disappointed in the government who are the organisers of the carnival, this amounts to waste of time.
"There is no fun because we can't even record the procession this night because of non-functional street lights."
Similarly, Theresa Ogwu, who resides in Calabar said many of the funseekers who came from outside the state would be greatly disappointed with this outcome.
"The night activity was expected to be highly entertaining and fun to watch should there have been functional street lights.
"You can see how poor the illumination is on the carnival routes. It wasn't like this in previous editions and the government ought to know better.
In previous editions, the streets lights are usually turned on even before 6pm but its 7:30pm now and the lights are not on," she stated.
On his part, Mr Andy Akin, a visitor to the town, who also bemoaned the absence of Street light, said an international event like this that saw participants from no fewer than 14 countries should have better be organised.
It would be recalled that the annual carnival which started during the administration of Donald Duke, have not held for the past two years.
The carnival was suspended in 2022 due to the out break of COVID-19 pandemic while no reason was given for the carnival not holding in 2021.
Efforts were still being made to put some facilities in place for the 2022 edition of the carnival which was hurriedly put up.
The 2022 edition of the carnival had on Tuesday suffered a tragic event when eight persons died and 29 injured when a vehicle lost control and rammed into crowd of onlookers during the day fifth day of the carnival.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- A memorial service will be held Friday for a Leon County Sheriff's K9 killed last week in the line of duty.
Deputies say "Koda" was killed January 31 by a suspect wanted for attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm from a vehicle. During a confrontation with deputies in the area of North Monroe Street and Fred George Road, deputies say Carlos Manuel Cespedes, 31, shot and killed "Koda", a 5-and-a-half year old German Shepard.
Deputies credit "Koda" with saving the lives of his partner, Deputy Ron McMullen and other deputies. Lt. James McQuaig with LCSO says as "Koda" was charging at Cespedes, it distracted Cespedes long enough to protect deputies and to allow them to draw their guns.
Sheriff Larry Campbell said, "Last night the Leon County Sheriff's Office lost a valuable member of the agency. LCSO K-9 'Koda' was killed while protecting his partner, Deputy McMullen and other deputies from an armed violent fugitive. 'Koda' was a fearless and loyal partner. He was trained to serve and protect, and that is exactly what he did."
Cespedes is being held in the Leon County Jail.
"Koda" served with the Leon County Sheriff's Office since 2008.
A memorial service for "Koda" will be held Friday, February 8 at 1:00 p.m. at the Tallahassee Automobile and Collectibles Museum at 6800 Mahan Drive. The service is open to the public.

Self improvement is not always an easy process to start. Where you can begin, there are so many aspects to life! The following paragraphs will give you the direction you need to achieve the self improvement you have always wanted. The following tips and ideas will help you be successful at developing yourself personally.
Focus on making your time spent working as productive as possible. One simple solution is to go on more breaks while you work. This might sound counterproductive, but breaks allow you to refocus and re-energize, allowing you to return and work more efficiently.
Always carry something you can record your ideas on. Use a notepad app on your phone or even carry a real notepad with you. Write down your thoughts in detail, and be sure to put it into action.
Happiness is often lost to stress. When we are feeling stressed, our minds aren't just affected. Our entire bodies are too. To start thinking clearly and reaching for calm, purposeful goals, destroy your mind's stress. Schedule time daily to spend by yourself in relaxation and clarity. This mental break each day will improve your peace and clarity of mind, and help improve your self-image.
If you want to make progress in the area of personal development, you need to declare lowliness. If you understand that there is a lot you can learn and that you have room to grow, you can gain proper perspective. Once this concept is ingrained in your brain, you will be eager to learn new skills and expand your knowledge in order to improve yourself.
You need to know what your beliefs are in order to make a personal development plan. It doesn't make any sense to focus on things that your value set does not include. Instead, spend your time and energy on areas in your life you wish to develop that also synchronize with your personal values. By doing this, changes that you choose to make will be much easier to adhere to.
Compliment other people. It is actually better to turn the other cheek and be nice to others.
Personal development comes from the decisions that you make when you choose not to miss an opportunity. Never back down from an opportunity. If you lack knowledge about a specific area, you should still be willing to make the most informed decision you can with the information at hand. Your good instincts will develop through your successful decisions. Even when your decision is incorrect, you can learn a lot from the mistake that you made. When you make a wrong choice, you are likely to make a better one next time.
It isn't possible to care for someone else at your own expense. No matter how far along you are in your personal development journey, you need to relax and reflect every once in a while.
Do you frequently consume alcohol? Do you harm your body through smoking, or in other ways? Mistreating your body will lead to illness, premature aging and an early death. One way to improve your life is by getting rid of any bad habits that you have. Take a look at your overall life and the habits you engage in to figure out if there is something you can eliminate.
Personal Development
Try to make the most of your time at work and get more done. One effective way to work more efficiently is to schedule more regular break times. If you designate a time to relax, then you will be more willing to buckle down and focus during work periods.
As you can see, personal development is simpler than it looks. By breaking your personal development process into small, manageable goals, you'll find yourself closer to your goals by the end of every day. You'll be able to practice what you're seeking to adopt as habit, and you'll increase your own morale to continue. These tips are only a springboard, it's up to you to build a better life.

Hot Topic
U.S. inflation is near its highest level in four decades, fueled by rising food, housing and energy costs plaguing economies globally. Gasoline prices hit a record $5 a gallon in June. They soon subsided, but inflation overall still runs four times the 2 percent rate economists want. Inflation remains the top economic issue and, with fall's midterm elections approaching, a top political one. Policymakers trying to tame it face events largely beyond their control: a pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. These breed supply shortages that raise costs even as the U.S. economy runs strong, with unemployment at 50-year lows and consumer spending steady. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to make borrowing costlier in the hope of slowing demand. Will it overshoot, sparking a recession and job loss while failing to increase supplies?

What does the recent Supreme Court decision mean?
In Carson v. Makin, the Supreme Court held that Maine could not exclude sectarian schools from approval for the receipt of public funds for tuition purposes because they are sectarian. In other words, a sectarian school that meets all of the other requirements for approval for the receipt of public funds for tuition purposes must be approved in the same manner as a non-sectarian school.
Schools who meet the requirements for school approval for tuition purposes are then eligible to receive state and local tax dollars from the school administrative units (SAUs) who do not operate a school to serve certain grade levels and either contract with specific schools or allow choice of schools to meet their responsibility for providing a public education for resident students.
This decision applies only to those SAUs that do not operate local public schools at a certain grade level span and do not have contract in place with nearby public or private schools.
For example, if your SAU does not have a high school, the SAU where the student resides still raises funds from local property taxes and receives state tax dollars to support resident students and uses those funds to pay tuition at selected public or approved private schools.
Additional Background:
Delivering Public Education in Maine
Article 8 of the Maine Constitution requires all towns to support schools in order to ensure the "general diffusion of the advantages of education." Today, the State of Maine contributes 55% of the total statewide cost of education and local communities must raise funds for the remaining costs. Some communities vote to provide more than their required local share in order to invest in special additional programs and services or new/upgraded facilities.
There are currently three different ways for local communities to deliver public education to their students: use tax dollars to operate local schools; use tax dollars to contract with nearby public or state-approved private schools as the education provider; or use tax dollars to allow a student to attend a public or state-approved private schools. Because some School Administrative Units (SAUs) - SAUs are towns or collections of towns collaborating to provide public education to their resident students - do not operate local public schools at certain grade levels, and do not have contracts in place with nearby public or state-approved private schools, they use public funds to purchase education at the approved institution selected by students/parents. These are the communities impacted by the recent SCOTUS decision in the Carson v. Makin case.

SOS demostrates SZA's musical maturity
March 13, 2023
SZA finally released her third album after five long years, SOS, an album that surpasses all expectations and defines shock factor. Currently spending its 10th week at the #1 spot on the Billboard 200, her range in genre, vulnerability and emotion express the thought and work that went into SOS since her last album, CTRL.
CTRL takes many of us to our pre-teen, puberty plagued stages of life. The album just hit the spot, despite our lack of romantic experiences at that young age. Although some have compared SOS to CTRL, it's impossible to do so as SZA has developed so much as an artist and vocalist while also switching up her style from strict R&B to genres including hip-hop, rock and pop. Not only do her songs range in genre, but she has moved on from criticized "sad girl" music, to incorporating anger, revenge, self reflection and empowerment.
Starting off strong the song SOS is introduced with morse code for S.O.S, and sets the tone for the album in an angelically angry- yet helpless- way. Expressing her resentment towards past relationships, SZA claims that "I just want what's mine, this ain't no warning shot, 'case all you h*** forgot, and I cried and cried, said what's on my mind, ooh-oh-woah, I cried." Her cry for help through rap, while also conveying her power leaves listeners in awe, wanting more.
The second song on the album Kill Bill, appears to be innocent and conceals its violent lyrics with a light and catchy beat, making it the most popular song off of the album. Although the song is catchy, it feels underwhelming when really compared to the rest of the album. The song's meaning is more fun and playful than some of her more meaningful pieces of work. It makes sense for this song to be a radio station hit since most of the time the simple pop songs tend to connect to a wider audience. But her theme of anger and revenge continues into the next songs titled Seek and Destroy and Low where she begins to explore how this anger affects her such as her loss for control: "All the hurt I know/ Is used to heal my soul/ No control/ I do it to you, do it to you, oh." Is SZA making a hidden tribute to her CTRL album while also sharing another side of herself and music from CTRL? Her incorporation of the more pop and upbeat oriented songs placed in the beginning tell a story as she leads the listener through an album of emotional development.
"Love Language," a classic R&B song, begins her journey of self reflection as she states, "Bad as I wanna keep focused, you remind me I'm imperfect/ And it sucks to admit it." She proceeds to take a look into her own mind in her song "Blind," that was released on her SNL live performance. The song's acoustic and intimate sound helps portray her struggle of fighting her inner conflict of staying in a relationship with a person that isn't on the same page or knowing her own worth. As the album progresses, SZA masterfully incorporates genres and features artists like Travis Scott on "Open Arms," and his infamous ad libs on "Low." Don Toliver's feature in "Used," created a harmonious masterpiece; Phoebe Bridgers surprise collaboration on "Ghost in the Machine." Although doesn't seem fitting, it actually proved to add an element of folk and soft pop, attracting a new demographic of fans. SZA knew what she was doing when featuring these artists, only leaving us to wonder who she's going to bring in on the deluxe version of the album.
SOS proves SZA's development as an artist and has served as SZA's diary, spreading her feelings on a page as she taps into some of her darkest thoughts throughout the song. The second half of the album has not received enough love from listeners but by far displays SZA talent the most and captures the complexity of the album. Songs like "Nobody Gets Me," and "Special," tap into loneliness, self-image and how she lets her relationships reflect her self worth. SZA's ability to create a "no skip" album with Billboard charting pop songs and sad girl songs that are relatable yet heartbreaking is incredible. She finishes off the album by coming back full circle to her independent woman anthem in the song, "Forgiveless," featuring one of the founding members of Wu-Tang Clan, Ol' Dirty Bastard. SOS is a story of SZAs inner conflict, beginning with her passionate anger, to her breaking it down, going through heartbreak and questioning herself. She ends the album on a strong note, realizing that she deserves better and has chosen not to forgive the other person. She had to go through these stages of emotion in order to reach a higher ground. Everything in this album was intentional from lyrics to secret odes to her previous album. Ending her album with the line, "I thought I told you before/ It's not gon' end how you want/ Not in the dark anymore/ I might forgive it, I won't forget it," SZA has reclaimed her power and self worth. SZA- what's next to come?

Sales Are Down, But Profits Are Up for Books-A-Million
Books-A-Million (BAMM), the country's third-largest retail bookstore chain, released its fourth-quarter earnings Thursday, and the news was something of a split decision. Sales dropped 4.6% to $157.2 million compared to the same period a year ago, while comparable store sales decreased 6% for the quarter. For the year, net sales were $508.7 million, a 1.3% drop from last year's $515.4 million, and comp store sales decreased 3.6%
But profits were up: $11.9 million (or 76 cents per diluted share) for the period, which ended Jan. 30, -- a 30.1% increase -- and $13.8 million (or 88 cents per share) for the year.
In a statement, Chairman and CEO Clyde Anderson said, "Despite the challenging sales environment throughout the past year, we are pleased with our ability to grow earnings for the quarter and the year. We remain focused on maintaining fiscal discipline as we look forward to an improving economic climate in the year ahead." Anderson also told Publishers Weekly that he attributed the sales decline to a combination of the weak economy and a drop in sales for Stephenie Meyer's Twilight titles. He also told PW that the company is working on its entry into the e-book market; more details about that are expected soon.
Books-A-Million approved a quarterly cash dividend of 5 cents per share and an additional cash dividend of 10 cents per share for a total cash dividend of 15 cents per share, to be paid to stockholders on April 8. The company also announced a program to buy back up to $5 million worth of its common stock during the next year, replacing a simlar buy-back program set to expire on April 30.

Go to work. Get punched. Go to work. Get kicked. Go to work. Get assaulted.
For many human service workers, this is life on the clock. In more extreme cases, employees have even been raped or murdered.
That's why Rep. Luke Frederick (DFL-Mankato) sponsors HF1494 that would appropriate $20 million over the 2024-25 biennium to the Department of Human Services for workplace safety grants.
The House Human Services Policy Committee approved the bill Wednesday after adopting a delete-all amendment. It was referred to the House Human Services Finance Committee.
Frederick has worked 18 years at the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center. He has been assaulted and watched some co-workers receive injuries that disable them to this day.
Nevertheless, he says the overwhelming majority of people with mental health challenges receiving care are peaceful and not a source of violence. He wants to avoid stigmatizing or generalizing people with mental illnesses. The bill would address the few who are aggressive.
Selected applicants could receive between $5,000 and $100,000 for:
Grants would be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, with at least 40% of the onetime awards falling outside the metro area.
Eligible workplaces would include those that provide services for children, families, vulnerable adults, older adults and people with disabilities, as well as facilities offering behavioral health care, social services or related care.
Mason Schlief, a care coordinator at Zumbro Valley Health Center, said human services workplaces normalize the lack of safety precautions, including a physical attack she endured.
She wishes she could have had access to safety measures like de-escalation training.
"I think if I had these resources, I would have been better able to protect both myself and my client."
Although countless workers advocate for their safety, many are accused of exaggerating, described as poor workers or declared bad people, said Michelle SanCartier, director of public policy and advocacy at the Minnesota Social Service Association.
SanCartier says society should value these professionals who experience trauma, such as threats, stalking and sexual harassment. "Human services providers will be needed more than ever and they're not going to tolerate working in positions that don't ensure their safety."

This place is amazing! High quality, affordable, personable and competent staff, and a wide variety of delicious treats! My boyfriend and I like to get up early and grab a box of pastries from them every few weeks as a special treat, and everything we've ever had there is just to die for. We discovered it when looking for a Swedish princess cake for my birthday, and it was incredible! I highly recommend this bakery, and of course we'll be back.
From the glorious pastries to the most delicious cakes and tasty fresh baked pies, I'm hooked on every delight they offer! The top choice for my sweet tooth every time.
Cynthia Kreiss
So sad….I wrote a review and they took it down but saved my picture. I guess they don't like bad reviews!!!!Save your money wayyy over priced for awful cake. I paid $67 for my 8 inch cake that was dry and crumbly and was supposed to have raspberry and didn't.. shaking my head

Before I get started let me just say there customer service is TOP TEIR! They went above & beyond to have this order ready in a timely matter & when I had wait a few extra mins as they were extremely busy they added in some extra goodies for waiting. The cakes were SO delicious & adorable for a little girls 1st bday! You must try the spinach croissants, They are out of this world!!!
Karrie Lawton
I remember this place when they were at the other location way back in the day. The bear claws are excellent. I had a Black Forest cake a few days ago that was a gift. What a decadent cake. So good. Such quality, the cake, the texture, the kirschwasser, the Parisian cream and whipped cream with chocolate shavings. It is what you think of when you want a real black forest cake. I recommend.
Deanna Stewart
It is a lovely bakery with a big selection. The employees are kind and knowledgeable
Some of our pastries were rather dry – good flavor, but dry. For the price, I expect perfection. I paid $15 for a loaf of bread. Delicious bread – crazy expensive.

I'm so sorry to report our 1st experience w Karl's was very disappointing. First, my dad wanted glaze or sugar donuts and some with Boston cream filling (you know w the pudding type filling and covered with chocolate glazed frosting). What he was given was actually sugar covered jelly donuts & a type of Boston cream, didn't look like others I've had. The most disappointing, if the flavor was flat was that all of them were undercooked. Yes I even took a picture so I had proof. We don't get donuts often so all of us were excited to have them w our late breakfast. My moms face was not happy after eating one, she warned me her donut was slightly raw inside. Mine was too. So was dads. Be careful! Guess my hopes were too high.
Love this place! The options are stellar- if you want any dessert, you can probably find it here. The muffins are amazing & so are the brownies. There's literally a chocolate lava muffin, which I've never seen before. Their decorated sugar cookies are a little hard & taste a little stale, but they are adorable. You have to visit this place- you will not regret it 🙂

I purchased a large round coffee cake to take up north for a days visit with friends. It looked delicious but could tell it was not fresh when we opened the box it came in. It was dry and a little stale. It was too far away to return it at that time. People ate it anyway because there was just so much food to go around. When I returned to Phoenix I went into the store and explained the situation. They seemed surprised but made an adjustment. This is a family owned business (which I prefer to support the "little guy") and is glad to stand behind their products and happy to keep-up their excellent reputation over other mass-produced bakery products.
I whole-heartedly and definitely support this bakery!

Heard good things so I dropped in to give it a go. I was NOT disappointed what so ever! The staff was friendly and quick. The bakery was clean and tidy. The baked goods were absolutely amazing! The spinach and cheese croissant was fantastic! The chocolate croissant was excellent as well. Probably the best sugar cookies I've ever had. And they were decorated beautifully too. I'll definitely be going back!

The flower industry has remained strong throughout the years. Its versatility makes it a gift, a centerpiece, a fashionable accessory, and décor for events. Flowers invoke a lot of emotions and symbolism. People incorporate flowers on various occasions from Valentine's Day and weddings to birthdays and funerals.
One can truly make an income and a good career in the flower industry. But, without passion, you may not stay long in the business. According to Little Flower Hut, the florist business entails hard work, long hours, and establishing yourself as a go-to in the consumer market. While thinking of a unique flower arrangement, you may also be juggling suppliers, logistics companies, online orders, and express flower delivery. During peak times like Valentine's Day and large events like parties, you may work longer hours, designing layouts, and accommodating more flowers than usual in your office.
What is Floristry?
The florist business encompasses everything from the production of flowers to the trading of flowers. It includes cultivation, floral design, merchandising, and delivering to customers. Each part of the process requires industry knowhow, drive, and creativity in the art of floristry. If you have your heart set on becoming a florist, you first have to weigh the pros and cons of running a florist business.
- Timeless industry; there is always a demand for flowers for various occasions
- As you flourish, you can open up more shops, offer floral design classes, or start a floristry school
- Big events mean huge opportunities for growth and excellent profit
- Satisfied customers provide the best recommendations at no extra cost
- You are your own boss
- You have an outlet for creativity and your designs will be well-appreciated
- Starting as early as dawn to buy fresh-cut flowers at the market than working long hours to deliver customer orders
- Long hours and huge orders can be physically challenging for those who are starting out and still experimenting with a system
- The industry is highly-competitive with independent shops competing with online and local shops as well as grocery flower sections
- Your creativity will be tested with the need to stand out from the competition
- Mismanagement of inventory and demand can result in wasted flowers and loss of profitability
- It can take a long time to reap an ROI
Study and gain experience first
Now if you really have your heart set on opening a florist business, it is imperative to polish your knowledge and experience in the industry. Florists typically need 2 to 5 years experience and tow or four-year floristry degree before companies hire them.
If you own a florist business, you need to be an expert in the cultivation of flowers, the season of varieties of flowers, the symbolisms of different flowers, the supply chain, finding the right wholesaler or supplier for your florist business, studying geographical market trends, staffing, and of course designing and decorating flowers. Other essential skills to possess include entrepreneurial skills, bookkeeping, marketing, and customer service.
Funding a florist business
You may opt to take out a loan to start a florist business or utilize capital from your savings. To start, you will require equipment such as refrigerated cases, buckets, display items, tools for flower arranging, and a van to transport the flowers. Consider having a business partner when starting a florist business. Regardless, you will need to create a business plan and budget to obtain funding.
Choosing a niche
Consider entering the industry with a focus on a target market. You may focus on creating flower arrangements for parties, social dances, weddings, funerals, or corporate needs. You may collaborate with event planners and funeral homes to kick off your business.
Choosing a location for your florist business
Location is vital to the success of your business. Steer clear of flower shops tucked at the end of streets. Instead, opt for corner locations albeit costly to rent and high-traffic locations. Consider your niche when choosing a location such as near event venues or hospitals and funeral homes.
You can also start as an online florist to reduce startup costs. You can also launch a home-based business, rent a stand, or run a mobile business using your van. Once you've chosen a location, it is best to advertise your business by word of mouth, social media, or local media. Consider creating a website as well. Your website and social media accounts and show your latest creations and attract customers.
Marketing your florist business
When you are just starting out in the flower industry, it is vital to keep costs to a minimum. You can create a free website online and tap into the free or low-cost marketing of your community. Whether your business is located within the city or from your home, you need to nurture your reputation online.
Florist Staffing
When starting out, consider hiring only part-time florists. It is best to work with experienced and trained floral designers. However, keep in mind that experienced designers have a higher wage so it's best to spend time training your staff with your industry knowhow to save costs.
Finding good vendors
Good vendors are key to the success of your florist business. You will need negotiation skills to haggle with suppliers. It is best to buy flowers from their source. You can buy from flower farms as well as from wholesalers at flower markets. Be sure to inquire about the charges you are paying for.
Also, ensure you are working with vendors that practice proper handling and transporting of flowers as well as delivering the flowers in a timely fashion.
Finally, be involved in the larger flower community in your geographical location. You can ask established florists for recommended suppliers as well as tips and tricks in the trade.

Teacher`s Lounge
Mask Workshop
A single workshop begins with a small warm up of stretching and encouraging the students to find their 'size' on stage. They then learn how to tell a simple story with their bodies using just movements, gestures, and feelings.
The masks are shown to the students and small demonstrations made. They are taught to look at the lines and shape of the mask to give them cues as to how their character moves. The students will then go up in groups and choose a mask. They put the mask on with their backs to the audience.
As a group when they are given the cue to turn around, they turn and pose as their mask character. Then on cue they begin to move around as their character until the instructor tells them to freeze. One by one they will express, when cued, how their character feels in one single moment.
The group is then given a scenario by the instructor, who directs the progress of the scenario, and perform the scenario. This is repeated with each successive group until everyone has had a chance to put on a mask.
At the end, time allows, they will all put on a mask and perform one large scenario.
A typical 5 day project will extend the techniques and improvisations mentioned above over the first three days. Then the 4th day will be a specific creation day for students to create an original scenario in small groups. The 5th day will be a presentation day where the students will present their pieces in front of the class.
