Our Journey to Alpine Valley School
This guest post was contributed by Sherry Cure, an Alpine Valley School substitute staff member and the parent of two graduates.
When my children were small my mother-in-law, a public school teacher, told me about the democratic school model. She was so disenchanted with the current public school system that she said that if we were interested in starting such a school she would retire and help us. That was much more of an endeavor than we were willing to tackle at the time but it did demonstrate what she thought of the model. We glanced at the information but our children were in preschool and first grade and were doing well so we decided that things were fine just the way they were.
As the years progressed things changed. We had two very different children. One was a strong rule follower and the other marched to the tune of her own drum. Our rule follower was falling into that trap of doing what she was told by adults even if she had a different idea or opinion, never expressing her own ideas for fear of causing trouble. I could see this bright child being told that she was doing things wrong just because she was doing them in a different way that made sense to her. Unfortunately, instead of standing up for herself, she was changing to become one of the pack.
Our little drummer fought every day for her independence, and was being crushed in the process. Things as small as whether she had to make a bonnet for Thanksgiving rather than a pilgrim hat were apparently rules that could not be bent. She was spending too much time on creative things and not getting her "work" done. I loved her creativity but I was also a rule follower and felt the pressure to make her do the ridiculous amount of homework she had as a second and third grader, so afternoons that should have been spent playing and baking cookies or just chatting with this wonderful child, were instead spent in tears and frustration trying to force her to complete things for class.
We knew that our youngest was unhappy. She had spent most of the year suffering from daily stomach aches and anxiety about going to school. We had had many discussions with both her teacher and her principle with no improvements. To be honest, we thought that this was just the way things were and would continue to be. Obviously the traditional school style was working for our older daughter so we just needed to work harder with our younger daughter.
When we were midway through the girls' third and fifth grade years things started to change. Our rule follower started to complain about her homework as well, both in it's amount and some of the strange busy work approaches to it, rather than actual knowledge being learned, which we were having more and more trouble justifying to ourselves as well as to her. Our drummer was clearly depressed and frustrated about school entirely. It was all taking a toll on our family life. We weren't having fun, we were just getting through each day as best we could. It was time for a change.
We had friends that had toddlers and were looking ahead at school options. They liked the idea of a democratic model of schooling and we all decided to go on a trip over spring break to visit the nearest democratic school, about 800 miles away. That school was Alpine Valley School, and that trip saved us.
We had approval to come for a visit to the school to meet the staff and students, since they had just returned from their own spring break. We sat and talked with the staff and students over lunch. We were also allowed to sit in on a session of their judicial committee meeting, the daily handling of infractions to the school laws.
I came away from this two hour visit amazed. Amazed at the confidence, honesty and imagination of the students and staff alike. Students and staff treated each other as equals, with a respect I hadn't seen in any school environment before. There were disagreements, I'd seen a couple of cases being heard in the judicial committee, but there was no animosity in the process. It was a discussion among peers about infractions to their agreed upon laws, with decisions made and accepted as to any "punishment". Again, it was like nothing I'd seen before.
We returned home with a new idea of how things could be for our children. We all discussed it together. Our friends decided that they would look into starting a school closer to home but they had the luxury of time before their children needed a place to attend. We wanted to make a change for our girls right away. Our girls were excited about Alpine Valley School and my husband and I decided that what we ultimately wanted for our children, above all else, was for them to be happy in life, and traditional school was not going to get us there. We decided to finish out the school year and then move to Colorado to attend Alpine Valley School. That decision changed our lives, and the way we saw the world.
When the new school year started the school hours were 8am to 5pm with students needing to be there for a minimum of five hours I think. We calculated up the earliest we could pick up the girls and I told them I would call at that time and come to get them whenever they were ready. When I called later that day they said no, they were not ready to go yet, please pick them up at 5pm. From then on they wanted to be at school at 8 o'clock sharp and didn't want me to pick them up earlier than absolutely necessary. Holidays were awful, with lots of complaining until school started up again. They loved every minute they could be there and even tried to convince us that the school should run year round. I think my youngest even brought that up at a few school meetings.
I can't say that first year was as easy for me. My husband was a democratic school student at heart even if he'd never attended, but the rule follower in me fought to be heard on a regular basis. What were the girls learning? What would this school mean for their future careers? Would they be happy? What would our family and friends think of our choice to follow this path? On a day to day basis I wasn't seeing anything concrete, like grades or test scores, and it was tough to hang on and know that I was doing the right thing. Buthe changes were happening, they were just hard to spot sometimes.
Our youngest hadn't been very responsible in the past. She didn't often think ahead about things and that caused some trouble for her, and we weren't sure that was going to change anytime soon, but she was still young, only nine at the time. One evening we went to dinner and while we were there she asked if she could stop by the community recreation center across the street on the way home. We asked why and she said that she wanted to make sure everything was still all set for a field trip she had organized for the next day. After dinner we took her over to the rec center. She walked up to the counter and asked if her field trip for the next day was all set or if anything needed to be done. The person at the counter told her that she should check with her teacher. She explained that she had set up the field trip herself because she wanted to go swimming with her friends and she just needed to make sure that there weren't any last minute issues. Once she was assured that everything was fine, she then had to explain what kind of school she attended to a very interested adult. We found that happened a lot.
Our older daughter had her own growth happening but it was sometimes harder to us to see. She started taking more and more of a leadership role at school but as someone that liked for everyone to follow the rules that sort of made sense, since in this way she could ensure the rules were being followed. What we couldn't see as much, since it was all happening at school, was that she was changing things where she thought they could be improved and standing up for her opinions in a group that included older students and adults. That all started to become apparent when she started standing up for her opinions at home. I hated these debates at first but came to realize that she had good ideas and valid opinions and this was exactly the thing that I'd wanted for her. I realized just how much she'd changed when I was at a gathering with my mother-in-law and a group of her friends and my twelve year old daughter was sitting confidently at the center of a cluster of very interested high school teachers explaining how her school worked and debating the model as it compared to the traditional school style.
Both of our girls have now graduated from Alpine Valley School. They are still feeling their way along and decided what they want to do with their lives but what I can say is that they are strong, confident people that know that they deserve to have their opinions heard, that they are as important as anyone else in this world, and know that the ultimate goal in life is to be happy. As a mother, I couldn't ask for anything better.

The sky was grey. The grass had been steeped in water all night. And there before us was a rectangular hole in the ground with a small cloth wrapped box in front of it. Regardless of what the weather was doing outside, today was going to be a dark day, because today was the day that my wife and I buried our son.
A haze obscures your sight and a weight on your chest makes it harder for you to breath and your heart to beat. I have lost loved ones before in both my normal and military lives, but I have never felt more detached to this life than anytime before. The death of our son, Bennett, has struck me to the core.
Even though my brain knows that there was nothing that we could possibly do to have prevented his umbilical cord from wrapping around his neck twice and becoming extremely taut, I am haunted by the fact that I was away for so much of his time on earth. I figured, I'm going to have plenty of time with him when he's born. I said to myself that I'm building a company, I'm achieving something that so few people ever dare to attempt. I told myself to look at all the accolades (from being labeled as one of the Top 50 startups to watch in 2019 to being selected as one of the Top 16 startups in Texas) of the company that you are helping to build. Yet, in the span of 4 days, I lost something that in the end wasn't that important and I lost someone who was and still is that important.
Having grown up in the shadow of Washington, D.C. I learned from a young age to drive myself hard. My surroundings wouldn't accept anything less than professional success. You had to have the money, the nice vehicle, and the stylish suits, because if you didn't have those, how could you measure your success (more importantly, how would other people know of your success?). I pushed myself as hard as I could to obtain the degrees, certifications, and professional experience that I thought would help me be successful. I pushed myself so hard that even on my wedding anniversary trip last year to Greece and some of their beautiful islands, I found myself working rather than spending time with my wife. I often lost sight of what really matters.
Yesterday, we found out from our Rabbi that Bennett's Hebrew name is Baruch, which means blessed. Last night and today, I felt that his name's meaning was a cruel joke. I felt as if I were Job and then found myself praying that the Lord wouldn't allow the same curses to befall my family and I. Yet, as I picked up and gingerly dropped the dirt first to cover Bennett, then to fill in his grave, I realized that my son taught me the most important lesson of all; to love and be there for my family. Work isn't who I am and it's not why I live. It's time for me to live that way.

Episode 12 - Cheetah
We finish up the classic 80s Coogan trilogy. Though I've found a few more that might need to be added later.
A family is living in Africa for several months because of science? I think? Whatever, the two children find a cheetah cub whose mother was killed by poachers. Skip a few months and the kids are getting ready to go back to the U.S. and they are trying to figure out what to do with the cheetah that somehow hasn't eaten them all.
Long story short, some very questionably racist portrayals of ethnic people capture the animal to rig greyhound races. The kids skip their flight and travel the serengeti to get their friend back. I'm pretty sure everyone in this movie should be dead from any number of causes.

2018 Cincy CX
The 'cross scene in the US is an interesting one. Whereas much of the cyclocross world looks to Belgium as "the standard" with it's national series, techno-bumping beer tents, and generally nasty conditions in the heart of winter, the US domestic scene is different. Races and venues come and go with the season, we haven't had "epic" conditions in a few years, and the beer gardens are definitely less crowded than their European counterparts. And even though there are many differences between the Belgium and the United States, the US does have a few venues that are as iconic as they come, including the Kings course at the Cincy CX event. We haven't raced in Mason, Ohio since 2016 but the old golf course has a storied past and is one of the great courses in the history of US cyclocross (in my opinion). Two years later and the 'cross circuit returned to Kings for another year of racing, this time for two days…
I arrived on Thursday evening and made my way north to Julie & Scot Herrmann's home for the weekend. The Herrmann's are some of THE nicest people in cyclocross and they do so much for the sport in their area, in addition to being The Voices of American Cyclocross. (Un)fortunately for me, the rain decided to follow me up from Texas, and made it's debut just as the course preview window opened on Friday. I don't necessarily mind riding in the rain or the wet, but I do dread the clean up and as I get to the hour mark of cleaning bikes and wheels in the dark, I start to wonder why I chose to pursue such an equipment-intense sport… Love. That's why.
Course pre-ridden, bikes cleaned, and belly full, I closed my eyes on Friday night ready for the weekend of racing ahead.
Slide, Slide, Slip 'N Slide (28th) (Strava)
The weather had not improved on Saturday morning. Rain clouds drifted across the Cincinnati area throughout the day ensuring the course would be as slippery as possible for each category of racing. I took my time getting on course, on account of the aforementioned clean up, but eventually went out for a few laps to dial in my lines. The course itself was relatively flat over the full length of the track but the number of off-cambers required you to be at attention for the whole lap. Add in the moisture of the top soil over the hard clay underneath and the real test would be who could stay on their bike the longest.
You can see the track for yourself here at the CXHairs Course Walk Through
The best riders in the country rocked up for this one, as they do every year! As I looked over the options for racing this season, Cincy CX stood out to me for that very reason. While I could have traveled farther East to HPCX in New Jersey, I wanted to test myself against the top guys in the country and see how my form was coming along. Case and point, I was the last person on the third row of the grid even with my current World Rank inside the Top 200. The field was stacked.
Off the line, I got into my pedals and moved around a couple of riders to move closer to the front. I felt like I was in a good spot as we entered the course from the uphill start. Just as predicted, the first few corners were treacherous. Michael Van den Ham (Garneau-Easton) came sliding across the field and took out another rider, which I was barely able to avoid. I saw Anthony Clark (Squid Squad) picking himself up in the early going, along with numerous other riders slipping and sliding their way through the first part of the course. I stuck to my lines, feeling dialed and confident, as I managed to float through the trouble unscathed.
By the end of the first lap, I was riding inside the top 20. In the moment, I had no idea of my position, but I could tell that I was on a good day, as they say. Feeling good, I was continuing to push on the pedals make up time where I could. As I entered "The Camel" section, I shifted to an easier gear, only to hear my derailleur start to move into the spokes. My reactions where quick enough that I could jump off my bike and fix the problem before I ripped my derailleur off. I backed my chain out from the spokes, shifted down a cog and ran the rest of the section, changing bikes as I made it to the pits. Lucky for me, I had Mr. David Palan and Scott Dedenbach, of Bike Shop CX fame, along with Dan Hoffman in the pits for Chris Aitken and me. I dropped my bike, told them what was wrong, and hopped on my B bike to catch back up. However, I was not so lucky to only have one set of mud tires, which were on my A bike.
I exited the pit lane and as I pedaled the next couple of laps, I found myself lacking the grip I so desperately needed with only intermediate treads. I was losing spots like crazy, about eight to be exact, and I began towing the line between poise and frustration. But, I kept my cool and had to readjust my speed limit as I navigated the track. I was able to make it a lap and a half before jumping back onto my A bike to finish the race.
Back on my preferred steed, I pedaled hard to make up the spots that I had lost. In my sights were Chris Aitken and Gunnar Holmgren (Hardwood Next Wave Cycling), who had left me behind most recently. I mashed on the pedals and floated the slippery sections, sticking to the lines that I knew best. I was able to make up some spots and passed both Chris and Gunnar. But the Good Karma chips I had cashed in during the opening laps ran out and I lost a spot, first to Gunnar, and then to Chris as I tried to ride the final section of "The Camel".
As I crossed the line, I was a bit disappointed in myself for not continuing to execute the same lines that I had all race on the final lap. But looking at the positive side of things, I was happy with my start and the lines I took for a majority of the race, and even more thankful to have a team in Mr. David Palan, Scott Dedenbach, and Dan Hoffman to keep me rolling in some nasty conditions!
Aero Is Everything (38th) (Strava)
As I opened my eyes on Sunday, I thought as I was still dreaming as I saw bright rays of sunshine peaking through the curtains. The rainstorms of Friday and Saturday had been pushed away to their next locale and in their place were strong winds and sunshine skies. Watching the Superprestige in Ruddervoorde, I was feeling good (probably the pancakes) and looking forward to seeing the changes for day two. The course was much drier today as the wind and the sun cleared up many of the puddles on course. Aside from the nicer weather, the track had transformed to favor powerful riders. With fewer off-cambers and more flat pedaling, the race would be for the rider who could lay down the watts for the full 60 minutes of racing. The conditions and the track suited my skills (not necessarily my watts), and my confidence was growing as I rolled around during pre-ride inspection.
We lined up on the grid and in our faces came a strong headwind. The start seemed to happen in slow motion. We were all sprinting at our maximum but with strong winds, no one was going anywhere really fast. Since the conditions were much drier today, the first turns were, again, chaos as racers bumped elbows and battled for the fastest line, stacking up three or four wide through the first section of the course. I was feeling good about my position in the field and doing what I could to sneak spots whenever and wherever I could. And just as we rounded one corner, Drew Dillman (SDG Muscle Monster) slid out and I had nowhere to go but over top of him.
Everyone was physically okay (or at least I hope), but after untangling bikes, my bars were tweaked severely to the right. I dismounted my bike and straightened them as best as I could before carrying on. Now off the back, there was nowhere to go but forward! I got to the pit and dropped my bike off with Scotty D, Sam, & Craig and started my chase. I started leap frogging from group to group, trying to get back as many places as I could in the shortest amount of time possible.
Remember how I said the course suited a rider that could lay down the watts? Yeah, that was still the case and I was not one of those riders today. I was pedaling hard, gnawing on my stem any time I turned into the headwind, but after a few laps of chasing, the lights started to dim in my engine room and I came to the realization that the race was too far in front of me to catch back on. I still had enough in me to ride hard, but my efforts yielded little forward progress and I managed to cross the line on the lead lap in 38th place.
Though the results may be disappointing, there are still a lot of positives to take away from the weekend. First, I'm thankful to have the support of my cyclocross family and to have such amazing folks help me out in the pits. Without the help of David, Scott, Dan, Sam, and Craig I would have been in some trouble for sure! Second, I was able to demonstrate to myself a bit of poise and willingness to persevere through different circumstances. In cross you need a bit of luck to go along with the training and preparation that you put in. And when things don't go your way, you need to have a bit of mental toughness to keep moving forward. Make it through the next turn, hit this particular line, make it one more lap. Anything to keep you in the game. Sometimes those little mind games don't seem worth it in the moment, but hopefully they'll pay off down the road.
Next up, we're heading upta Massachusetts for the Really Rad Festival of Cyclocross!
See ya kehd!

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Taiwan's pro-independence groups said Thursday (June 13) they respected the outcome of the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) presidential primaries, but would not exclude taking to the streets in protest if President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) did not change her ways.
In the June 10-12 opinion polls, Tsai defeated her only challenger, ex-Premier William Lai (賴清德) by 35.68 percent to 27.48 percent, the DPP announced Thursday noon.
The Taiwan Society said it accepted the result but would keep a close eye on the president's policies, and if she did not affect any real changes, they would still criticize her and if needed, even organize protests, the Liberty Times reported.
The group named judicial reform, transitional justice, Taiwan's real name and constitutional change as key issues.
Action was needed on the president's part before her call for solidarity in the run-up to the January 2020 elections could be heeded, the Taiwan Society said.

Gold medalist Women's team and relay Junior World Championships 2012
My name is Samantha Achterberg, but I usually go by Sammy or Sam. I am 26 years old and have been competing in the sport of Modern Pentathlon since 2010. I was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado, and currently train at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO.
When I was younger I grew up swimming as well as played tennis and soccer on some local and eventually some competitive teams. My family was very active and I grew up skiing a lot as well as hunting. At about eight years old, I convinced my parents to let me start riding horses and eventually progressed into jumping/ three-day eventing. When I reached high school, I started running cross-country and track and swam for the high school team. I built up a huge passion for running as well as continuing my love for swimming. I was also riding and training my own horse on the side. It was a ton of work juggling all of the sports and school, but it kept me focused and driven. I heard about Pentathlon when I was 14 and thought it was interesting, but crazy that anyone would compete in five events. When I was 17, I became more interested and an opportunity arose to do a camp at the Olympic Training Center in March of 2010 which was followed by my first competition. From this competition, I qualified for Youth World Championships which would be in Uppsala, Sweden. That was just the beginning and little did I know that an odd background of sports and athletics would bring me into such a neat and diverse sport such as modern pentathlon. After high school, I moved to Colorado Springs to train at the Olympic Training Center and pursue an amazing, but challenging, journey of making an Olympic Team in the sport of Modern Pentathlon.
In 2012, I found out I had a torn labrum in my hip and stress fracture in the neck of my femur. I was devastated as my chances for the 2012 Olympics would be very difficult. After going through the season and rehabbing through the injury; I decided to have hip surgery to repair the torn labrum in November of 2012. After a long few months of rehabbing I came back stronger and made the Junior and Senior World Championships team for the 2013 season as well as placed bronze at the US National Championships, just 7 months after surgery. Although this was a tough process I have learned so much about training smarter to keep myself healthy and on track towards my goal of making an Olympic team and bringing home a medal for team USA.
I have been attending college through DeVry University during my athletic career and graduated Summa Cum Laude in August of 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Health Service Management. In July of 2017, I joined the US Army and went off to Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for six months. I am now stationed at Ft. Carson, Colorado to train as an athlete in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) for the US Army.
I unfortunately fell short of making the Olympic Team for 2016 in Rio as I was ranked the 3rd US female athlete and only two slots per country are allotted. Although it was hard to go through that I am hungrier than ever to make the Olympic team for Tokyo 2020 and work hard for that spot on the podium for Team USA and as a soldier in the US Army. I currently am ranked as the #1 US Female Modern Pentathlete and will be heading into 2019 World Cup season shortly. I know that there is still work to be done, but I am looking forward to the competitions and seasons ahead to continue my journey towards the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Nolan Arenado appears to be slowly chipping away at the national prejudice against Coors Field.
Already a four-time All-Star, voted the starting third baseman in each of the last two years, Arenado is the leading voter-getter at third base again this year in the initial update from Major League Baseball. With 783,684 vote he is nearly 340,000 ahead of second-place Kris Bryant of the Cubs, and more than triple the total for the Dodgers' Justin Turner, who is in third place.
The top three vote-getters at each defensive position -- except the outfield -- will advance to a championship vote to pick the starter for the All-Star Game. Arenado is the only Rockies player among the top three in initial voting at his position. Shortstop Trevor Story is fourth, less than 25,000 votes behind third-place Corey Seager of the Dodgers, and less than 45,000 votes behind second-place Dansby Swanson of the Braves.
In the outfield voting, the top nine vote-getters will advance to the finals with the top three finalists earning a starting spot. Blackmon is sitting sixth in the NL outfield voting in the this week's release.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is Major League Baseball's leading vote-getter in the first National League balloting update for the 2019 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard. The 2019 Google MLB All-Star Ballot, which is available exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com, all 30 Club sites, the MLB At Bat and MLB Ballpark mobile apps and on Google Search (U.S. and Canada only) will be accessible until the "The Primary" voting period ends on Thursday, June 21st at 4:00 p.m. (ET).
Bellinger, an All-Star during his NL Rookie of the Year Award-winning season in 2017, has received a Major League-best 1,189,380 votes in a bid for his first fan election. The 23-year-old, who leads the Majors with a .355 batting average, is joined among the outfield leaders by 2018 All-Star and reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich of the Milwaukee Brewers (1,057,855) and 2018 NL Rookie of the Year winner Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves (518,760). The trio is followed by Bellinger's Dodgers teammate Joc Pederson (344,440), Albert Almora of the Chicago Cubs (294,445), Blackmon (278,070), Jason Heyward of the Cubs (270,745), Kyle Schwarber of the Cubs (252,557) and Alex Verdugo of the Dodgers (242,988). Six-time All-Star outfielder Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies (242,719), a starter in each of the last four seasons and in five of the last six, trails Verdugo for the final spot in the Starters Election by just 269 votes, while Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (232,995), a first-time All-Star in 2018, remains close behind.
A pair of Cubs are leading at two positions that feature tightly-contested races to advance to the Starters Election. Shortstop Javier Báez, the NL's starting second baseman last season, has received 861,496 votes, the third-highest total in the NL, to outpace Atlanta's Dansby Swanson (286,802). Corey Seager of the Dodgers (257,085) and Colorado's Trevor Story (243,550) are engaged in a close race to claim the final shortstop spot in the Starters Election. Backstop Willson Contreras (850,613), last year's starting NL catcher, ranks ahead of Atlanta's Brian McCann (269,963) and Philadelphia's J.T. Realmuto (206,442), but a five-way race for two spots has emerged with Yadier Molina of the St. Louis Cardinals (202,401), Yasmani Grandal of the Brewers (195,922) and Austin Barnes of the Dodgers (183,692) following closely behind McCann and Realmuto.
Rounding out the NL leaders are first baseman Josh Bell of the Pirates (621,915) and second baseman Ozzie Albies of the Braves (424,467) and third baseman Nolan Arenado of the Rockies (783,684). Bell, who leads the Majors with 25 doubles and 57 RBI, is seeking his first All-Star selection and ranks ahead of three-time All-Stars Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs of the Cubs (461,210) and Freddie Freeman of the Braves (406,283), while Max Muncy of the Dodgers (232,583) places fourth.
Albies, an All-Star in 2018 bidding for his first fan-elected start, leads a crowded field at second base, including Mike Moustakas of the Brewers (377,983), Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks (327,269), César Hernández of the Phillies (265,608) and Kiké Hernández of the Dodgers (244,589).
The voting period for "The Primary" concludes at 4:00 p.m. ET on June 21st. Later that evening, during the MLB Network Showcase telecast of the New York Yankees hosting the Houston Astros, the top three vote-getters at each position (and the top nine outfielders) in each League will be revealed on MLB Network, and they will move on to the second phase of voting. During the initial voting period, fans can submit up to five ballots per 24-hour period on MLB platforms, and can vote for every position, or up to 17 unique players per day on Google.
"The Starters Election" will begin at 10 a.m. (MT) June 26th, with fans voting among the finalists at each position during a 28-hour window that concludes at 2:00 p.m. (MT) June 27th. Results of "The Starters Election" will be announced at 7:00 p.m. (ET) that night on ESPN. During this second phase of voting, in which fans can vote once on MLB platforms and submit up to 17 unique player votes on Google, vote totals will reset (i.e., vote totals from "The Primary" do not carry over) and the winner at each position (including three outfielders per League) will be named a starting position player for the 2019 Midsummer Classic.
The AL All-Star Team, which will be managed by Alex Cora of the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox, will have nine elected starters via the fan balloting program, while the NL All-Star Team, led for a second consecutive year by Dave Roberts of the defending NL Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, will have eight fan-elected starters. The pitchers and reserves for both squads – totaling 24 for the NL and 23 for the AL – will be determined through a combination of "Player Ballot" choices and selections made by the Commissioner's Office. The balance of the All-Star rosters will be announced on Sunday, June 30th at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
During each phase of voting, the 2019 Google MLB All-Star Ballot will be available when fans search in English and Spanish. The ballot at MLB.com and Club sites also offers audio CAPTCHA functionality for visually impaired fans. Banco BHD León once again sponsors online All-Star balloting in the Dominican Republic, making Spanish-language ballots available to fans in the D.R. via LasMayores.com, the official Spanish-language web site of Major League Baseball.
Fans will once again have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans can vote exclusively at MLB.com and the 30 Club sites – online or via their mobile devices – with the 2019 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote, and their collective voice will represent 20 percent of the official vote determining this year's recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.

Why Companies Do Not Renew Their EMAS Registration? An Exploratory Research

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is the official Environmental Management System (EMS) issued by the European Union (EU). Italy is the country where EMAS is most widespread, accounting for over 1000 registered organizations. Since entry into the force of the Regulation in 1997, the number of registrations has constantly grown until 2008, when the figures started to drop. The phenomena are due to both the decrease of the annual registration rate and the lack of renewals. According to the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), in recent years, an increasing number of organizations decided to withdraw from EMAS registration. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the reasons of this negative trend. The first step consisted of a literature review concerning the main barriers, difficulties, and costs incurred by EMAS-registered organizations. Subsequently, this information was integrated with data about the evolution of EMAS registrations and the results of a previous survey, which involved the entire population of registered firms. The present exploratory research highlighted economic and operational domains concerning the cancellation trends that deserve a deeper investigation, which will be conducted through a questionnaire addressed to Italian firms that did not renew the registration in the last lustrum. The intended output will allow us to identify stakeholders' priority intervention areas in order to suggest an operative strategy to reduce EMAS cancellation rates, addressed to Member States (MS) Competent Bodies.

Ancient Egypt and The History of Baseball
Welcome to our History of the Game series!
Batting the Ball (or "seker-hemat") was an Egyptian bat-and-ball game, played by the Egyptian pharaohs (with their priests as catchers)! Significantly, this game had certain physical and thematic similarities to modern American baseball, and in certain ways, might be understood as an ancient precursor to baseball and softball—as Peter A. Piccione, Ph.D. also notes the possibility of professional female ball players in Egypt.
Very early in their history, Egyptians applied cosmological associations to their bat-and-ball game similar to the cosmology that Americans apply to baseball (e.g., as a rite of spring and a renewal of life, a conduit for channeling national political loyalty, a source of heroic figures with whose achievements society could identify).

Cracker Candy As Made By Lori Nolan
You will want to watch this short recipe video tutorial on how to make cracker candy. This fun dessert idea doesn't need a lot of ingredients or preparation, and it is sure to be one of your new favorite desserts. With real saltine crackers in the recipe, that give this fun dessert its saltiness, crispiness, and unique flavor. Other ingredients in the dessert include semi-sweet chocolate, pecans or almonds, and butter. All you need for this fun dessert is a baking pan covered with tinfoil, along with a saucepan and you are ready to go. This is a delicious candy to make that the whole family will love. You can give it as gifts, or make when company comes over. The easy recipe tutorial is short and shows you just how easy this cool dessert recipe is to make. There is something about the combination of chocolate with the salty, crispy texture of the crackers that you won't be able to resist. Combine that with the brown sugar candy and you have a cool recipe for dessert that will be your go-to throughout the year. The best part about this fun dessert recipe idea is that it's easy to make, and doesn't require any fancy ingredients. You will most likely have all the ingredients you need already in your kitchen.
Not only is this fun dessert recipe easy to make but it has some added nutrition because of the pecans or almonds sprinkled on top. You can choose to use whichever you prefer. You'll want to cut up the pecans and toast them for added texture and flavor. When it comes to pecans, there is a lot of pecan nutrition inside this healthy snack ideas. Pecans are a great source of protein, dietary fiber, and iron with lesser amounts of calcium and Vitamin C. Whether pecans are eaten raw or roasted pecans they are healthy snack ideas and the secret to good dessert recipes. Before the European settled in North America, pecans were a widely consumed and traded food by the Native Americans. Pecans can provide two to five times more energy per unit weight than wild game, and require no preparation to eat. Pecans that are found on the ground are often still edible. Hollow tree trunks, which you will find in abundance in pecan stands, offer a great storage spot for pecans by humans and squirrels, alike.
The original recipe for cracker candy calls for almonds, and like pecans, they are a food that is nutritionally dense. In a 100-gram serving of almonds you will find B vitamins riboflavin and niacin, calcium, iron, vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and phosphorus. The same sized serving is also a good source of the B vitamins thiamine, vitamin B6, and folate, and the essential mineral potassium. Almonds are also high in dietary fiber, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats, fats which potentially may lower LDL cholesterol. Almonds can be eaten on their raw on their own, or toasted which is a good way of bringing out their flavor. Almonds can be use for a wide variety of recipe ideas. Almonds can be bought in a variety of forms, such as whole, sliced, slivered, flaked, and as flour. Almonds can also yield almond oil and almonds can also be made into almond butter recipes or almond milk recipes.
This fun dessert recipe for cracker candy can be found on the Afternoon Baking with Grandma recipe site. On the site, you will find other cool dessert recipes along with cupcakes, cookie recipes, brownie ideas, smoothies, bread recipes, frosting ideas and so much more. **

Lessons Learned From Mom
One way that I choose to celebrate joyfully, even in the grief season, is to reflect on the positives. My Mom, was an amazing lady. Now it of course took me until late in my 20s to realize this. Since my brother was still in high school at her passing and what teenager truly appreciates their mother's wisdom, I knew it would be my job to pass on the perspective I had. Similarly I am on a mission to ensure that my kids know Grandma Caryl even though they won't meet her this side of heaven. Thus was born my tradition of sharing Lessons Learned From Mom. Throughout May, until Mother's Day, I share one lesson learned from our Mom each day. It has been years of doing this and I have yet to find the list exhaustive.
I am sharing the Lessons on our Instagram all week and invite you to follow along! It has also been a dream of mine for others to share the Lessons They Learned from their Moms so please join me! Tag your pics #celebratejoyeveryday and #LessonsLearnedFromMom so we can all learn from each other!
Here are some favorite LLFMs from year's past:
Lesson Learned From Mom: It is way cooler to learn to fish from your Mom than anyone else.
Lesson Learned From Mom: when there is family strife that doesnt involve you directly be gracious, be neutral and be quiet!
Lesson Learned From Mom: A firm handshake and some confidence goes a long way in the grownup world.
Lesson Learned From Mom: All you need are some balloons or streamers to make a birthday special!
Lesson Learned From Mom: despite what your Teenage/Twentysomething daughters once thought being "a Pollyanna" isn't about having blinders on-it is about the tremendous strength it takes to choose to joy all the time.
Lesson Learned From Mom: if you are going to live at a lake you better have swimsuit-friendly furniture (much to the furniture salesmans chagrin)
Lesson Learned From Mom: Take heart all you Mamas-your kids will only remember the best of what you are!
Lessons Learned From Mom: if you want your house cleaned up in hurry have a respected family friend call to announce their arrival in an hour and watch your family runaround like lunatics cleaning up!!
Lessons Learned From Mom: your children's friends will remember when you are welcoming & kind to them.
Lessons Learned From Mom: always have something baking in the oven as guests arrive. Especially if its a gentleman you want to impress!
Lesson Learned From Mom: having family traditions give your kids a way to feel close to you when you aren't together.
Lesson Learned From Mom: always have an extra set of clean bath mats. They make any neglected floor look so much better when a last minute visitor drops by!
One of THE BEST Lessons Learned From Mom: You can choose to be Joyful or you can choose to Complain. But you can't choose both.
See you on Insta for this year's list of Lessons!

Welcome to the Holistic Health and Herbal Education Festival!
You've come to the right spot to learn about Minnesota's own herbal conference. Since 2006 The Holistic Health and Herbal Education Festival has been an an opportunity for holistic health and herbal medicine practitioners, students and enthusiasts from the Upper Midwest to learn from regional teachers in our own backyard. The 2019 festival will take place at Prairie Oaks Institute a retreat center on a beautiful farm in Belle Plaine, MInnesota just 45 minutes from the Twin Cities. Instructors and participants come from all over Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
The festival is organized like a conference and consists of four different sessions with participants choosing from among 3 or 4 workshops offered at each session. We offer diverse workshops with offerings suitable for beginners as well as intermediate/advanced workshops. The bulk of our workshops cover different aspects of herbal medicine such as plant identification, medicine making, hands-on kitchen herbalism or cosmetics, clinical or diagnostic topics in herbalism. We also offer workshops from instructors from other modalities. Past years have included classes in homeopathy, nutrition, flower essences, Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong and more.
The festival includes a leisurely lunch period that features our famous dessert buffet including (gluten free and vegan options) and two plant walks for those who want to learn even more. Some years a local beekeeper is available at lunch selling raw, wildflower honey and beeswax and the festival includes several vendors of handmade herbal or wildcrafted products.

Botany for Herbalists with Elizabeth Heck
Understanding basic botanical characteristics is important for learning how to positively identify plants. We will wander the grounds of Prairie Oaks Institute looking closely at plant details, introducing basic botanical terminology. En route, we will discuss plant classification while teaching about the use of plant keys.
The Business of Herbalism with Erin Piorier
A passion for plants and a desire to help others is often what motivates us to study herbal medicine, but running an herbal practice or business requires other types of knowledge and skills. Join me for a discussion of some of the fundamentals and important things to consider. This workshop will be driven by participant needs and questions. Topics I expect we'll cover will include filing as a registered business with the appropriate state agency, sales tax, federal employer identification number, the relevant statute governing complementary and alternative health care practitioners, options for accounting, banking, payments, online sales and more.
Chaga: A Remarkable Medicinal Mushroom with Connie Karstens
Chaga is a wild mushroom that grows on birch trees in northern climates that can be made into a pleasant tasting tea or tincture. It has been used for centuries as a health tonic and now is being re-discovered for its amazing medicinal qualities including anti-cancer activity, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and immune-stimulating properties. Come and find out all about Chaga, take home some great recipes, learn about extratction strategies and discover what Chaga can do for your body.
Cooking Foraged Foods within Reach with Betsy Nelson
Wild edibles are all around us…foraging isn't just elusive morel mushrooms and obscure wild edibles. Plants that grow abundantly, such as nettles, dandelions, purslane, creeping charlie, plantain, garlic mustard, prickly ash, wood sorrel, yellow dock and burdock are delicious and nutritious and may be growing right under your feet! Betsy will demonstrate some easy cooking methods with some abundant and delicious wild edibles.
Easily Learn Plants by Families with Elizabeth Heck
This plant walk will cover how to easily and quickly get to know plants based on families. Gather a great amount of wisdom about healing plants in a short amount of time using simple to learn techniques. We will explore patterns in both botanical characteristics and medicinal properties.
Flower Essences for Universal Experiences with Laura Sanden
Why do Walnut or Star of Bethlehem flower essences get used up more quickly than others? Some flower essences get used more than others. One explanation for this is because these flower essences contain the ability to directly address universal experiences that are necessary for human development. It is common to get stuck in some of these life lessons and that's where flower essences can help. In her practice, Laura noticed patterns and themes and researched these universal themes, developing a repertoire of flower essences to address core life issues that most of us have, or will, face at some point. Laura will present her top remedies and share some of her favorite discoveries such as: the "Catholic Cocktail", "Divorce Potion Number 10", and "Dieter's Delight".
Herbal Matchmaking with Lise Wolff
Matching plant to person is at the heart of the practice of herbal medicine. This can be so much more than simply suggesting a certain plant for a certain disease. Transformation can happen by helping a person restore balance to their constitution, allowing them to fall into a more balanced version of themselves physically and mentally. In this workshop I will discuss the profiles for herbal medicines that match the personalities of the clients. These portraits developed over 22 years of combined herbal medicine and flower essence practice, allow the practitioner to choose with precision and effect changes throughout the client's entire self, body, mind and spirit. Herbs discussed will include some of my most frequently used herbs in practice, including blue and hoary vervain, prickly lettuce, agrimony, goldenrod, black walnut and motherwort.%MCEPASTEBIN%

Toxic Bile: The Role of the Liver in Chronic Disease with Paul Ratte
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. This progressive disorder is a harbinger of obesity, diabetes, autoimmune, and cardiovascular disease. The production, movement, reabsorption, and elimination of bile is part of the functional physiology that underlies this epidemic. Stagnant enterohepatic circulation and toxic bile result from the burden of the Western diet and poor lifestyle habits. This class will review the important role of choleretics, cholagogues, bitters, demulcents, and mucilages to improve liver function.

Many have been the proud player, who has acknowledged the cheers and ovations of the spectators after performing splendidly. to have his name recorded in the record book. Perhaps, later, these very players would add their cheers to another who has just surpassed the latest record which was theirs a few moments ago. Such is the life of the cricketer: today a holder of records, tomorrow a "has-been".

When the government published More Great Childcare at the end of January, there was massive disappointment that no announcement was made on childcare funding. We were told that measures to make childcare more affordable would follow in the Budget on 20 March.
So what can we expect then?
Why have we set up Childcare Champions?
There are three main reasons:
firstly, we are very concerned about where childcare policy in this country is heading. The Government's More Great Childcare plans threaten to undermine progress made on quality, while failing to tackle the big concerns of families about affordability.

Official website of the Department of Homeland Security
Tucson, Ariz. - Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Ajo Station seized more than 1,625 pounds of marijuana, valued at more than $1.3 million, in two separate incidents.
Agents working in the West Desert observed a suspicious vehicle driving off-road. A canine team inspected the vehicle, which had been abandoned, and discovered 15 bundles of marijuana, weighing more than 730 pounds. A thorough search of the area was conducted for the smugglers to no avail. The vehicle and marijuana, with a value of more than $584,000, were seized and taken to the Ajo Station for processing.
In a second incident, agents assigned to the Ajo Station were patrolling in the West Desert and observed a suspicious vehicle driving off-road. Agents inspected the vehicle, which had been abandoned, and discovered 39 bundles of marijuana, weighing more than 895 pounds and a value of more than $716,000. The vehicle and marijuana were transported to the Ajo Station for processing.
"Our agents remain dedicated to preventing illegal narcotics from reaching our communities," said Patrol Agent in Charge Jack Jeffreys. "This weekend's seizures are evidence that our agents will remain vigilant as we make it more difficult for smugglers to transport narcotics."
The Border Patrol utilizes several specialty units, such as Canine Teams, that continue to be extremely effective at alerting to the presence of illegal narcotics. From Oct. 1, 2009, to Aug. 31, 2010, the Tucson Sector Border Patrol seized more than 943,000 pounds of marijuana valued in excess of $754 million.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
