Th1rteen R3asons Why Review
Title: Th1rteen R3asons Why Author: Jay Asher Publisher: Penguin Group
Clay Jensen was in love with a girl named Hannah Baker. After Hannah's planned death, Clay just wants to forget about what happened between them and move on. The one thing that's stopping him is a box of tapes recorded by Hannah. There's no return address on the box and once Clay starts listening, he can't stop. On the tapes, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she commited suicide; the people who recieve the tapes are one of those thirteen reasons. Clay knows he did nothing wrong but listens anyway to the voice of the girl he loved.
Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop. I wanted to see what Hannah's thirteen reasons were and how Clay would respond to them. The introduction definitely helped to grab my attention. Even after reading the first sentence, I was hooked.
Many of Hannah's reasons/stories were extremely realistic which made the book that much more intriguing. With all the detail Mr. Asher presented chapter after chapter, I had a hard time not crying when Clay listened to the reason/story about himself.
I'm glad that in the end, Clay realized that he should've done something to help Hannah before she did what she did. Because he didn't, he felt as if it was his fault that she had died and didn't know how to confront the other people that were involved in Hannah's reasons/stories. I honestly don't know what I would've done either.
This novel was one of those that even though I read it already, I will purchase it so I can read it again and again.

Enable Access to Clean Cooking and Heating Solutions
Use Innovative Business Models and Create New Products and Services to Improve Energy Affordability and to Enable Access to Clean Cooking and Heating Solutions.
Providing access to energy and clean cooking and heating solutions to low income populations may not always be just about new and innovative large scale technological or infrastructure solutions, but about using a company's core competencies, eliminating waste, adapting the industry's traditional business model and designing products to meet the low income population needs in developed and developing economies.
Activities across the entire supply chain; upstream and downstream, can capture and use waste streams to provide energy to local communities, in the event the surrounding community does not have energy or is under-served. Access to energy also means giving economic access to services. Low income populations (living in both urban and rural areas) sometimes cannot afford the costs of energy consumption provided to their homes. Abating the cost of bills through creative financing is a way to help low income customers pay their consumption and at the same time guarantee them an effective service.

Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) leaders Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will battle the Barbados Tridents tonight at 8 pm, in an attempt to extend their lead at the top of the standings.
The defending champions were brutal on Wednesday night as the host hammered the Guyana Amazon Warriors by 67 runs in the team eight-round encounter at the Queen's Park Oval in Port-of-Spain.
The win took TKR to 12 points from eight matches, with two to go before the preliminaries end and the playoffs start. Tonight TKR will be seeking to get the better of the visiting Tridents, which they easily defeated in Barbados two Sundays ago. A win tonight will guarantee them a top-two finish and will give them two chances at making the final which is carded for September 16 in Trinidad at the Brian lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, San Fernando.
TKR skipper Dwayne Bravo says that the approach will be similar to the one against the Amazon Warriors. "We had a great game against the Warriors and the mindset will be the same going up against the Tridents. In the Guyana game, we got a good start through Colin Munro and we did well with the ball too, Ali Khan was excellent. Munro is our best batsmen, he's very consistent, he's hungry for success and its good to have international players who are committed to the team and committed to winning and that's what we want from overseas players."
Meanwhile, the consistent Colin Munroe batted beautifully on Wednesday night scoring a brilliant 90 to take the TKR to a battling total of 170/7 batting first. He and Denesh Ramdin posted a 135-run second wicket partnership after the early loss of Chris Lyn that brought the home team back into the contest, in front of a massive crowd at the Oval.
Munro was brutal as Guyana bowled into his areas and he was not afraid to play his shots. He hammered the bowling to all parts of the grounds he slapped four sixes and 10 fours much to the delight of the red army. Ramdin scored 39 off 36 balls with four fours and a six and when he fell the wheels came off a bit.
Munroe with a century looming fell to Romario Shepherd in the midst of a good spell from the Guyanese pacer. His 90 came off 56 balls and he is now the highest boundary hitter in this year's CPL with 62.
Shepherd brought Guyana back into the match with three wickets as TKR was poised to score over 200. At 136/1 in the 16th over they promised much but in the end, could only take the score to 170/7. This looked around 15 to 25 runs short but the TKR bowlers led by Muhammad Ali Khan was perfect on the night. The pacer ripped out three batsmen for 22 runs to move to 14 for the tournament, the highest by any TKR player. There were also two wickets apiece for Bravo and the spin twins Khary Pierre and Fawad Ahmed. Sunil Narine finally came into his own and 1/15 off his four overs.

One more Olympic post…

My first Olympics away from home
Before I get going, I must say in the interest of full disclosure, I LOVE THE OLYMPICS. I love everything about them: the sports, the athletes, the outfits, the cheesy commentary, the tear-at-your-heartstrings features, the commercials…literally everything. But, for the interest of a blog about TV, I am going to focus (as much as possible) on the television aspects of the Olympics and the overall viewing experience.

To Love TV from Afar
Of all the complaints I may or may not have about the United States, one thing is for sure: we make great television. From writing, acting, execution, location, down to the general look we have definitely set the standard of TV. Don't misunderstand (or is that 'misunderestimate?') me. I like television from other countries, BBC America for one, has shown some of the best of British TV (Life on Mars, Dr. Who, Coupling, etc). I certainly don't like American TV at the expense of other TV…I am an equal opportunity television watcher.

First, a thank you to Edelweiss and DC Comics for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was utterly captivating. As the description states, this book contemplates the ramifications of a 'cured' (read: sane) Joker who portrays (and quite possibly believes) Batman to be the true terror of Gotham City. Though it was by no means perfect I just found the book so interesting and original, I had to rate it accordingly.
Though it possesses a driving plot, this book was a deep dive into Joker's character, in this incarnation known as Jack Napier, and explored more history and information than has ever really been revealed (so far as I can research). It could be argued that since the events of White Knight don't fall into regular continuity, none of this new information is relevant but, personally, I'd disagree because a character study such as this could hugely inform Joker stories from here on out, especially given the complete (though I know intentional) absence of information about Joker's past.
A huge part of this story does focus on Harley and Jack's relationship which any comic book reader knows is notoriously toxic and abusive, but I feel this book went a little way to making up for it – even if they had to create an imposter Harley to do it. They have some really cute beats here – and I hate to use that word to describe them because I was firmly in the camp against idolising their messed up relationship – that, if you take the book as it is, are hard-won and actually kind of meaningful and they demonstrate why the two make a formidable team.
At his worst Joker is a daunting foe, truly insane, twisted and unpredictable his history of crime is bloody and dark, but I had never considered that the dark desires and impulses that fuelled his insanity could produce something altogether more threatening in sanity. On the face of it, Joker is a somewhat silly concept – he has become less silly through modern storytelling and themes but, as with many of Batman's villains, he is something of a product of his time. Through simply restoring his sanity, even temporarily we get a glimpse of what Joker could achieve with a single-minded focus to rival, yes you guessed it, Batman's.
The parallels drawn in this book between the two are damning but where Bruce generally lacks the social graces and good manners to make supporting him an easy choice, Jack Napier has what I call the 'Hitler Factor'. He's a charismatic, talented public speaker with the intelligence to back up his words and the will to follow through on his plans. Napier is genius in his deception and enticement of the people of Gotham but the worst part of his whole crusade is – he's kinda right in what he's saying.
In the same way, we see a new side of Joker, we also view a new angle to Batman (and Bruce) when the general tide of public opinion and the opinions of his allies turns against him, and he's called out on his general unaccountability. When cast is the cold light of day the truth is clear: Batman operated unchecked and recklessly leaving a path of destruction behind him and Gotham, even Gordon, are powerless to stop him even if they wanted to. And, being honest, Batman is such a Richard in this story – it makes it somewhat easier to believe the people of Gotham may, after a long period of time of it, be swayed to even go so far as to side with Jack Napier.
In the 'alternate world' style there are some differences between regular continuity and this world, the most prominent of which I found to be the swapping of Jason Todd and Dick Grayson. In this world, Jason Todd is the first Robin (though his death remains the same) and Dick his replacement. This creates a strange switching of bitterness and characterisation as Dick (who at this point has taken up the role of Nightwing and Batgirl has taken up the role of sidekick) rages and resents Bruce throughout, eventually admitting he never felt good enough cast in Jason's shadow and generally reminds me of Jason a whole lot more than himself.
I dislike this in principle and don't personally see what the story gains from it because I don't see that the book couldn't have maintained the story of Jason's death and have Tim Drake be the Robin/Nightwing/Red Robin type character desperately trying to help Barbara reign in Batman's increasingly violent tendencies. It just felt like a forced point to make it clear this wasn't part of regular continuity.
I do think a lot of the book, even for an Elseworlds tale, does beggar belief as far as characterisation is concerned, Batman leans more heavily on brutality and is not the perceptive master detective we all know, falling into Joker and Harley's baited traps repetitively, one after another. And, though public opinion can be easily swayed, I reiterate my earlier scepticism that the people of Gotham would welcome the Joker into the fold so easily. But, then again, I find it hard to believe most American public figures (ahem) manage to navigate numerous and historic PR nightmares and scandals so easily and maintain their power and position despite it.
Neo-joker's presence also felt somewhat out of place just as, though I know she couldn't just disappear it all felt like one too many bad guys toward the end, and I felt like Jack Napier/Joker's schizophrenic struggle to control Gotham City at Batman's expense was interesting enough without her.
Jack's presumption of the support of the people of Backwater was problematic for me. It feels wrong and unrealistic that a minority and marginalised group of people of colour would champion a condescending white dude fresh out of the asylum to accurately represent their needs and struggles. That, and the fact they end up being a tool in a larger scheme that eventually leads them into a worse position than previously just capitalises on the complete disregard Gotham feels for the welfare and importance of this part of Gotham's population. It just felt like a backhanded bit of recognition to me.
The pacing fell apart a little toward the end, with the last issue being something of a strange mish-mash of high-octane, slightly tropey events that slightly cheapened the end product but in the same breath, I'm not sure how I would have ended it either.
Aesthetically this is a very dark book and I really loved the overall look of the book. The switch between the insane, manic look for Batman and the cool, put-together (though slightly smarmier) look for Jack was evident on every panel and I will say I am a huge fan of bringing back classic Harley's costume (the panel below is the best) and her whole street look is so amazing in this book (I need those glasses!). I noticed Poison Ivy had a very cool trench coat look going on too and adult Duke was interesting to see.
Overall, though it has its odd issues this is so, so worth the read if you're interested in these characters. I honestly could have written a whole essay dissecting the whole book, there is just so much to get out of it if you want to look – and even if you don't it's just plain interesting to read anyway.
Writing Quality – 8/10

Creator's Thoughts
'Well, I always assumed that Joker would be way more deadly if he wasn't crazy, you know, if he could focus and use his charm like a sort of Don Draper-type guy. I wanted set up a Gotham where that was a thing, and think about how Batman would contend with a Joker who he's convinced is still evil — that this is a long con — but he's technically not doing breaking any laws. What is he supposed to do? And that's where it starts to fall apart for Batman.
I also felt like — I think a lot of readers think Joker is really sexy, but it's not okay to say that you think a total sociopath is sexy, right? So! You get rid of the crazy, and maybe this could be the sexiest Joker. Hopefully. This book will make it okay to think Joker is sexy.'

High school girls soccer: Penns Valley ties Huntingdon
Penns Valley and Huntingdon combined for 30 shots, but none of them found the net as the two teams played to a scoreless tie in double overtime.
Kylie Orndorf stopped 12 shots for the Lady Rams, while Charlotte Yelnosky had seven for the Lady Bearcats.
"This was a hard fought game for the whole 100 minutes," Penns Valley coach Jeff Smucker said, "Both teams had opportunities to score and it was an exciting game to watch. Huntingdon always hustles and we just weren't quite quick enough to take the shot on some of our scoring opportunities."

For my first week I wanted to explore the list of blogs that Christine Cantrill provided with us. I have never explored education blogs and thought this was a good opportunity for me to build a collection of blog resources.
- This week I read a post by Maha Bali on her blog Reflecting Aloud. It was all about an event she attended on the education reform in Egypt. I have always been very interested in how education in other countries is different from ours in the United States, so this title stuck out to me. Specifically she talks about the keynote speaker, Pasi Sahlberg. She shares a quote from his speech that really got me thinking, "the worst enemy of creativity is standardization". How can we allow our students to be creative if everything has requirements and outlines that need to be followed? Overall it was a great read!
Side Note: I really liked that at the top of each post Maha had the average amount of time it will take you to read that post. I thought this was an awesome feature to have.
- Another post that I read was on BlogWalker. This article interested me because the author talks about how educators can use filmmaking to show the importance of developing literacy skills to our students. They talk about how using film to create documentaries with students is a great example of student-driven, project-based learning.
- I loved reading recent posts on The Spicy Learning Blog. It's nice to read the words of a "very…weird" educator like Royan. His writing is very light and easy to read but yet provides the readers with great insights into education and even parenting. I also read a lot of the comments that were posted after each post and I love how Royan is a part of them and contributes to the comment conversations. Great blog and one that I will be adding to my favorites bar!
- When reading the latest post on the blog Kevin's Meandering Mind I was taken to another one of the author's projects, Wild West Adventures of the Internet Kid. This is a series of daily comics that share insights of the modern culture of technology, more specifically, young people's interactions in the digital age. It is really fun to read.
- This week I also read the latest Weekly News on Hack Education. Each week Hack Education posts a summary of what is happening in the world of education. Some of this week's highlights include Jeb Bush's plan for higher education, a complaint filed that says a NYC charter school was violating the civil rights of students with disabilities, and the revamping of the GED. I really enjoyed reading this because it is something you can read in full or just glance over to see what is currently happening in education. All the currents events for education are found in one place with this weekly news posting.
- I wanted to explore The New York Time's blog The Learning Network this week as well. The New York Times is such a credible resource that I figured a blog about teaching and learning with The New York Times would have to be a very usable resource. From just explore the site I could see how diverse the activities that they provided/suggested are. I saw activities for ELL students, high school students, and even activities for students who are Star Wars fans. This site is updated very frequently so the activities are very current. I would say that the activities are geared more towards older students, so as an elementary school teacher I might not find this as useful.
- The last blog I explored was Art Museum Teaching. The idea of museum education was something I have never really heard or thought of before so this blog was very educational for me. I started out by reading the posting titled 2015 Year in Review because I thought it would give me a nice overview of what the blog was all about. The post talked about some of the issues that were on our minds in 2015. One thing that they looked back on was one of their most popular postings about teachable moments on Facebook and using Facebook as a tool, which I found very interesting. Over all a very cool post and blog overall. This one is a keeper too!

There's nothing cuter than a dad bragging about his kids, and it seems like Prince William can't get enough of the newest member of his family! This week, according to Us Weekly, he couldn't wait to tell Cambridge University professor Christopher Dobson that his kids are "delightful," especially his daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their second child on May 2.
The professor told local reporters that the pair "talked a little bit about the children and he did make a couple of comments about their different temperaments. [Prince William] said George is very lively and Charlotte is very lady-like. He said they were both delightful, of course."
After their get-together, Dobson gifted 33-year-old Prince William, his three-year-old son, Prince George, and five-month-old daughter Princess Charlotte, with a children's book titled Fitz and Will — the Cambridge Cats. The professor picked out the book for the family, he said, because a dog in its pages resembles the royal family's pooch, Lupo.
This isn't the first time Prince William has gushed about his little girl, though. In recent weeks, he told the Telegraph, "She's been a little joy from heaven. But at the same time, it's a lot more responsibility, looking after two little ones, especially when George is around. He's a little monkey."
Princess Charlotte was christened in July, a celebration the couple opened for the public. "The Duke and Duchess are hugely grateful for the warm wishes they have received since Princess Charlotte's birth," a statement from the Palace said at the time.

text: Silverside is a lean boneless cut of meat that comes from the hindquarters of the animal. Silverside can be roasted, pot roasted or braised. For a better taste and in order to avoid the meat from drying it is recommended to cover the meat in a layer of fat such as beef dripping, olive oil or butter. Beef silverside is usually cooked with a variety of ingredients such as chopped root vegetables, fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme or parsley or finely chopped garlic or ginger. Beef silverside is usually stored in the refrigerator in its original wrapping or in a covered container, below and away from any cooked dishes because it can loose its odor. If want to freeze it one must lot leave it more than one month. It is recommended not to re-freeze the meat that has been frozen than thawed. When cooked it is recommended that beef silverside slices don't measure more than two centimeters thick and they should be turn from one side to another at an interval of six minutes. When the meat is subjected to intense heat is better to be cut in small slices and it shouldn't be less on the grill more than three minutes on each side.

Miami Heat
Whiteside leads charge as Heat snaps six-game losing streak with blowout of Bucks
Whiteside 'long live teams' who try and challenge me
The Miami Heat put an end to its six-game losing streak on Thursday night with an emphatic 96-73 blowout of the Milwaukee Bucks at AmericanAirlines Arena.
The Heat (3-8) closed the game on a 25-4 run, putting on a defensive clinic in the process. Hassan Whiteside had 12 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks to lead the charge as the Bucks (5-6) shot 32.9 percent from the field, the third-worst shooting night by any team in the league this season.
Milwaukee, which came in leading the league in points in the paint with 49.6 per game, was outscored 54-34 in the paint by the Heat. Whiteside was the primary reason.
"There's two different kind of coaches and teams: coaches that say, 'Hassan Whiteside is down there, don't attack them,' and then there's coaches that say, 'Hassan Whiteside is down there, let's attack him,' " said Whiteside, who played only 7 minutes and 32 seconds in the first half because of foul trouble and posted five of his blocks in the fourth quarter.
"God bless those teams," Whiteside continued. "Long live those teams. I need more of those teams."
Goran Dragic returned to the Heat's starting lineup after missing three games with a sprained left ankle and struggled through the first three quarters, saying he felt "rusty." But the point guard found his legs in the fourth, scoring 11 of his 16 points in the final period and finishing with six rebounds and four assists.
Backcourt mate Dion Waiters, meanwhile, scored 23 points on 10-of-22 shooting and had seven rebounds and four assists, often taking it to the basket and drawing fouls, something he hadn't been able to do very often through Miami's first 10 games.
Waiters said he also asked coach Erik Spoelstra to cover both 6-11 forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and 6-8, 250-pound Jabari Parker at various points throughout the night. The Bucks' front-court duo combined for only 25 points on 10-of-35 shooting.
Josh Richardson, who stayed in the starting lineup as part of Miami's three-guard lineup with Justise Winslow (sprained left wrist) out for the second consecutive game, had 18 points and made four three-pointers. The Heat finished 7 of 30 from beyond the arc.
"We talked about we just had to continue to find a way to do more," Spoelstra said. "We shot 41 percent again. Maybe that means a team coming in here on the second night of a back-to-back, that we have to hold them way down. This is what we were really hoping to do on some of our other back-to-backs when teams were coming in here — that we would be able to wear on them, particularly in the fourth quarter."
Miami missed 15 of its first 18 shots and trailed 20-6 after a Parker dunk with 5:09 left in the first quarter. But the Heat answered with a 24-7 run and went into the half tied at 48.
James Johnson and Tyler Johnson led Miami's bench, combining for 17 points, 18 rebounds and eight assists, and helping the Heat climb out of its early hole.
"That's what we're supposed to do," said James Johnson, who like Tyler Johnson has become a consistent force off the bench for the Heat. "That's what the reserves are for — bring energy, sustain the lead or come back from any deficit. I think we did our job today."
Miami opened the second half on a 9-2 run and stretched its lead to as many as 11 points in the third quarter. The Heat, which is now 3-1 when entering the fourth quarter with a lead, entered Thursday's game with an 0-7 record when tied or trailing entering the final period.
The Heat plays its next four games on the road, beginning in Washington on Saturday, and will be away from home for 10 of its next 13 games overall.
"It's good to have a little bit of momentum," Tyler Johnson said. "We've been so close. I think we've actually played a lot better on the road because we know that we don't have home-court advantage."
▪ The Heat stuck around at halftime and watched guard Rodney McGruder and assistants Dan Craig and Octavio de la Grana receive the NBA D-League championship rings they earned last season with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
"I felt like I was getting a ring," Richardson said. "I played for the Sioux for a couple games [last year], but we'll talk about that later. I was really happy for [McGruder]. We watched the D-League playoffs when we were in the playoffs in Charlotte. I sat in the room with Tyler and I think Briante [Weber] was there, too, and we watched them win the championship. We called him after the game."

(Subject to change… but feel free to send to any media you know in any of these cities!!!
(Special thanks to Rosey Bystrak, Amy Houck, and Marjy Taylor for all of your help!!!)
Multiple award-winning, San Diego singer-songwriter, Josh Damigo embarks on a Southwest US Tour!
Shows/cities include:
Phoenix, AZ: Rhythm Room w/ Ryanhood – July 14th (7pm, All Ages, $12)
Tucson, AZ: Glass Onion- July 15th (6pm, All Ages, Free)
Albuquerque, NM: Hallenbrook Brewery – July 16th (7pm, All Ages till 9pm, Free)

Josh Damigo's began his musical journey in San Diego, and after 4 years of successfully crafting his performance, he recently relocated to Los Angeles to record his new album to be released in Winter 2011.
While Damigo has toured the Southwest in the past, this tour has a special importance to him, as he will have the ability to visit his brother, Cpl. Nathan Damigo, who is currently incarcerated in Sayre, Oklahoma at North Fork Correctional Facility. Nathan's story was recently featured in the acclaimed HBO documentary, "WARTORN: 1861-2010" that follows the stories of veterans of war suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
"I figured if I was going to drive that far to visit my brother, I might as well make it a journey. It's a tough situation, but our family is doing the best we can to turn my brother's story into a rallying cry for our troops, and I think this is my way of turning a dark situation into a positive one."
When Damigo's brother, Nathan returned from his second tour of Iraq in 2007, he found himself involved in an incident that would change his life forever. In "Wartorn: 1861-2010", Nathan's story is told, including his battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the emotional toll it took on Nathan's family when Nathan was arrested for an armed robbery charge. Nathan and Josh's mother, Charilyn Damigo, has been writing a blog to document Nathan's Story. Through his music, Josh has found a way to tell the story of his brother, Nathan, and bring attention to the experience of our troops who suffer from PTSD.
Besides sharing Nathan's story, Josh Damigo has received plenty of media attention on his own. A multiple award winner for his acoustic performances and self-released album "Raw" (San Diego Music Award Winner: Best Local Recording 2009, Best Acoustic 2010, several HAT awards) he's been called a "SOCIAL MEDIA POWERHOUSE" and "DIY DYNAMO" by SESAC, his Performing Rights Organization. Josh has also supported many national acts such as: The Jonas Brothers Trio, Jason Mraz, The Zac Brown Band, Joss Stone, Switchfoot, Matt Nathanson, Kate Voegele, Ryan Bingham, Carolina Liar, Shawn Mullins, Josh Gracin, Tyler Hilton, The Green River Ordinance, Jackie Greene, Ari Hest and Ernie Halter.
Damigo has also been featured in multiple magazines (Happy Hour Magazine, The Troubadour, The OC Weekly), newspapers (San Diego Union Tribune, The Las Vegas Examiner), morning news broadcasts (KUSI, Sound Diego Live), and many independent websites (Indyconcerts.com, The List Magazine).

Connelly remains my favorite crime/mystery writer. His writing skills, story lines, development of characters & details. I've yet to find any dropped details or missing pieces - he's thorough. Having read all this books I'm now starting over with audio, always beginning with the very first book. Love Harry B & hate to see his retire.
Definitely a "man's book". Not one of Connelly's most interesting. I lost interest in finding the killer.

"organizing for reform: the democratic study group & the role of party factions in driving institutional change in the house of representatives"
This project examines how party factions develop the capacity to pursue procedural, policy and leadership change in Congress through an extensive analysis of the Democratic Study Group (DSG). DSG was the official organization of liberal Democrats in the House of Representatives from 1959-1994, leader of the 1970s "reform era," and the first organized member group in the modern Congress. While most political scientists assume that the committee and leadership reforms adopted in the 1970s are an inevitable consequence of rising ideological homogeneity and the realignment of groups, I argue that reform emerges through the strategic development of organizational capacity by new party factions. Evolving policy attitudes and new party coalitions are a necessary condition for institutional change, but alone they are insufficient to overcome the significant hurdles to change. The development of strong organizational capacity enables factions representing members with limited formal power or resources in Congress to overcome rules and norms limiting their ability to move into leadership positions, to change House and party rules and procedure to secure votes and build legislative coalitions around legislation responsive to their constituents' interests. My research incorporates extensive archival research on the DSG and House Democratic Caucus papers at the Library of Congress, interviews with former congressional staffers and members of Congress, and statistical analyses. These methods and data allow me to analyze processes of change, or the activities and efforts initiated by liberals long before specific rule or policy changes came to a vote, as well as to evaluate the relationship between group organization and observed outcomes in the House. I find that the significant leadership, procedural, and policy, changes observed in the House of Representatives in the mid- to late-twentieth century are as much a product of group organization as they are a reflection of the growing number of liberals in the House Democratic Caucus. Ultimately, I conclude that the capacity of likeminded members to serve as "agents of institutional change" is moderated by the extent to which they develop organizational resources and tools to work together and challenge the status quo in Congress.

Naxos is a very veg-friendly island, especially inner city. My favorite place was Aktaion, a pastry which serves vegan verrines and coconut ice-cream.
For a vegan breakfast, Anna's Organic Gardencafé is a lovely option. You can also purchase extra organic stuff (from food to cosmetics) into their shop.
When it comes to junk food, Yasouvlaki is the best as they serves French fries, wraps and falafels with a vegan mayo.
Pizzadelia is all about Italian food with a bunch of veggie options. And if one of them is not good enough for you, you can custom your own gluten-free piece !
It's pretty easy to find nice vegan options everywhere, way easier than anywhere else in the Cyclades ! I even found a bucher who sells vegan cheese, nuts and legumes !

That's because throughout his travels across the country, he found few people who were willing to talk about the drug overdose deaths that had quietly skyrocketed since the late 1990s.
"I would go around the country and be met with silence," Quinones told a crowd of about 250 who attended a training event Thursday organized by Mercy Health and Mahoning County Juvenile Court and funded by the Mahoning Valley Hospital Foundation.
Quinones' 2015 book, "Dreamland, The True Tale of America's Opioid Epidemic," went on to earn widespread acclaim, winning the National Book Critics Circle Award. He was the seminar's featured speaker.
The event at the Holiday Inn on South Avenue also featured sessions about understanding addiction, human trafficking, the new medical marijuana law, prescribing laws, and other topics. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, ministers, and educators were among the attendees.
Judge Theresa Dellick of Mahoning County Juvenile Court said the annual seminar focused on opioids because the epidemic affects so many people and professions.
"We felt this was an important topic for everyone," she said. "This is what's tearing apart our families."
Quinones' reporting details how the increased availability of black-tar heroin transported from Mexico converged with the aggressive marketing of addictive narcotic painkillers to create America's deadliest drug epidemic in history.
In 2016, the epidemic's death toll of more than 63,000 people in the U.S. was higher than the number of people killed in the Vietnam War.
Beginning in the 1980s and into the 1990s, a revolution in pain medicine occurred within the U.S. medical community, Quinones said. At that time, doctors were pressed to alleviate patients' pain to the point that they were taught to treat pain as "the fifth vital sign."
"In that time, the idea grew – the pain was what the patient said it was," Quinones said. "It was this cultural shift."
Then, in 1996, Purdue Pharma introduced Oxycontin, a time-release painkiller the company marketed as nonaddictive, which was untrue.
Over the next few years, pharmaceutical companies aggressively marketed painkillers, and prescriptions skyrocketed.
When people began to search for alternatives to prescription painkillers, they found cheap, abundant heroin that dealers from Mexico would deliver right to their door. In "Dreamland," Quinones compares the ease of buying heroin to having a pizza delivered.
"I'm a crime reporter. I thought I was writing a book about drug trafficking – until it became clear it was about something much deeper," he said. "It was about who we had become as a country."
He cited reverence for the private sector, increased consumerism, and the erosion of community as factors, saying Americans began isolating themselves and sheltering their children from pain and disappointment.
"It seems to me heroin is the final expression of values we have fostered in this country for 35 years," he said. "It's the final stuff for a culture that believes consumption, accumulating stuff, is the path to happiness."
That's why he believes solutions to the crisis must include, but go beyond, access to treatment and overdose-reversal drug naloxone.
"I believe the antidote to heroin is not naloxone. It's community," he said. "There is no [one] solution. There are many solutions – a mosaic, a symphony of solutions."

The stimulation of progenitor or stem cells proliferation in the retina could be a therapeutic avenue for the treatment of various ocular neurodegenerative disorders. Müller glia cells have been discussed to represent a progenitor cell population in the adult retina. In the brain, TGF-β signaling regulates the fate of stem cells; however, its role in the vertebrate retina is unclear. We therefore investigated whether manipulation of the TGF-β signaling pathway is sufficient to promote Müller glia cell proliferation and subsequently their trans-differentiation into retinal neurons. To this end, we used mice with heterozygous deficiency of the essential TGF-β receptor type II or of the inhibitory protein SMAD7, in order to down- or up-regulate the activity of TGF-β signaling, respectively. Excitotoxic damage was applied by intravitreal N-methyl-D-aspartate injection, and BrdU pulse experiments were used to label proliferative cells. Although we successfully stimulated Müller glia cell reactivity, our findings indicate that a moderate modulation of TGF-β signaling is not sufficient to provoke Müller glia cell proliferation. Hence, TGF-β signaling in the retina might not be the essential causative factor to maintain mammalian Müller cells in a quiescent, non-proliferative state that prevents a stem cell-like function.
