Water transports nutrients, oxygen and essential minerals required to survive, to every cell in our body. Some natural health benefits of consuming water are, converting the food to glucose compounds and transporting essential minerals for the human body. Drinking plenty of water will keep you hydrated and gives lot of benefits.

For Thursday, October 20, 2011
The room, now set up, had desks facing the blank white wall along the right side of my classroom. The curtains were drawn, the lights were off, and one by one, students went to the projector to hook up their laptops. Within seconds, personal pictures projected onto the wall and the students recorded narratives began to fill the room.
One story spoke of a young man's love of skiing. Two girls discussed the life impact that playing softball had made. One girl shared her experiences as a "military brat", traveling from place to place in her young life, and another brought our attention to the powerful way a young man's faith and friendships were strengthened through attendance at a Christian camp. One young woman spoke of being deeply touched by how her family had displayed their love for her by attending her sweet sixteenth birthday party. There were stories of football, soccer, stuffed animals, an inspiring celebrity meeting, friendships, and one young person's undying and eventually successful attempt to convince her parents to get her a dog.
As the class came to an end, I decided to share my own digital story, a memoir piece I had crafted about my Mom. I had already shared one story with my students, a piece I had written that was personal but which had used only stock photographs. This memoir was different as it included personal pictures of my Mom and I that had been taken over the years. The students delighted in seeing pictures of me as a child and as a teen and they laughed when in my narrative I shared stories of the silly times I'd experienced with my Mom.
As I sat and listened to each memoir this week and watched the pictures flash onto the wall I took that time to catch my breath. I thought of how quickly paced our lives can be and how if we are not careful, days, weeks, months, even years can fly by without our taking time to stop and to reflect on the meaning and importance of our life experiences. Seeing this class of 16 or 17 year olds doing just that in the making of these projects makes me feel proud. It is a worthwhile assignment and one I hope to continue doing for years to come.
I hope my students will continue to be as insightful and thoughtful as these stories displayed them to be. I don't think I need to worry. This group of young people respects the lives they have been given. They take to heart the people who have helped them achieve wondrous things in their brief time here. These teens are intelligent, caring, passionate, fun, inspired, and inspiring. I am lucky to have another eight months to work with them. I am humbled by the truth that they will surely teach me just as much as I may try to teach them.

WORCESTER'S new £10.5million swimming pool opens its doors this weekend with council chiefs hoping the new venue will give the city's sporting credentials yet another boost.
The revamp of Perdiswell Leisure Centre, in the north of the city, has as its centrepiece a new eight-lane 25-metre competition standard pool designed to attract everyone from casual swimmers to Olympic and Paralympic champions.
Supported by a £2m grant from Sport England, the pool and other fitness facilities at the leisure centre represent a significant investment by Worcester City Council to create a healthy and active city.
Local swimming hero Rebecca Redfern – who scooped the Silver in the women's SB13 100m breaststroke at the Rio Paralympics – will officially open the pool with the Coun Paul Denham, Mayor of Worcester on Tuesday January, 24.
Droitwich-based Rebecca said: "It's great to see Worcester investing in this fantastic new pool. People across the UK were thrilled by GB's swimming success at the Rio Olympics and Paralympics, and I was so proud to be part of that.
"The new look Perdiswell Leisure Centre is exactly what we need if we're going to grab the medals at Tokyo in 2020."
Mayor of Worcester, Coun Paul Denham, said: "The opening of Worcester's new pool is a landmark event for the city, putting us firmly on the swimming map and cementing our reputation as a sporting city.
"Swimmers of all abilities and ages will find Perdiswell Leisure Centre has everything they need and I look forward to seeing the champions of the future training here. I am very proud that this is a fully accessible sports centre – there are no barriers to Worcester's new pool."
Charles Johnston, Sport England's Property Director, says: "Sport England is committed to supporting and developing facilities like the new eight-lane pool at Perdiswell Leisure Centre, in the certainty that it will be a destination which attracts many swimmers and visitors from across the borough and beyond.
"The new pool will be used by people of all abilities and backgrounds, and will be accessible and suitable for everyone, from local school children to the future generations of swimmers.
Ivan Horsfall-Turner, Managing Director of Freedom Leisure, operators of Perdiswell Leisure Centre, said: "As a not-for-profit leisure trust, our primary focus is to serve the communities in which we operate and to enable more people to be more active more often."
The main eight-lane main pool at Perdiswell Leisure Centre measures 25 metres by 17 metres and boasts poolside seating for 284 spectators with a further 118 seats around the poolside for swimmers.
Fully accessible for people of all abilities, it is a major new sports and leisure facility that is suitable for regional competitions and will put Worcester on the swimming map.
The dazzling new Perdiswell pool hall also boasts an 18×10 metre teaching pool with a movable floor – a fantastic new facility for learners and other swimmers.
A new gym and spin/fitness studio are opening as part of the wider refurbishment of Perdiswell Leisure Centre, complementing the recently revamped sports hall.
When the final touches are completed in in March 2017 the new features at the refurbished Perdiswell Leisure Centre will include:
•25 x 17m eight-lane main pool, depth of 1-2m
•18 x 10m teaching pool with moveable floor
•Facilities for disabled people, including Pool Pod hoists
•Pool Hall seating for 284 spectators
•Large fitness gym with 110-120 stations
•Spin Studio with 25 bikes
•Fully refurbished 8-court Sports Hall
•Sports Hall seating for 100 spectators
•3 separate Fitness Studios
•2 Teaching Rooms.
Sport England's Strategic Facilities Fund has invested £2 million of National Lottery funding in the leisure centre.
The funding recognises the importance of the new pool in developing Worcester as a vibrant sporting city.
Additional funding for the scheme is being provided by the Heart of Worcestershire College, meaning the facility will house new dedicated classrooms.
The facilities have been designed with full input from funders and partner and stakeholder organisations including Sport England, the County Sports Partnership, Heart of Worcestershire College, Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), Worcester Swimming Club, and Disability Sport Worcester.
The new pool has been built by Worcestershire-based developer Speller Metcalfe and will be operated by Freedom Leisure, which has been awarded a 10-year contract to manage all the Council's sport and leisure centres.

The PlaySport Football League has had an excellent first season so far at its new home at Chaucer School which has already seen everything you'd expect to see in any University football fixture. Grit, determination, the odd nutmeg and plenty of goals. However, this season has also brought something a little different in the form of Gillingham Brundle.
Gillingham Brundle FC are a newly formed team who all have a very interesting shared inspiration. The obvious assumption would be that they are all fans of Kent's biggest football team Gillingham Football Club. You'd be wrong to make that assumption. One may also think that perhaps the players are all from sunny Gillingham. This is also not the common inspiration .
The players are all actually studying Primary Education and their shared inspiration is senior lecturer and course director for Primary Ed – Mrs Gill Brundle.
Brundolian Ali Qasim said, "I didn't know many of the lads on my course that well during first year but now in second year we've decided to enter the league! We decided to name ourselves Gilllingham Brundle FC after our course director – Gill Brundle! All the boys thought it was an excellent idea and were hoping to get a positive reaction from her; which we did! As all the boys are part of Primary Education, we thought it would be great to invite our tutors to our games and a few have attended and supported the team."
Gill Brundle who is apparently a real football fan had this to say regarding having a team named after her, "Clearly, taking someone's name is a little forward but I have a hart, and don't get defensive about these things. I think the name is a good match and certainly a keeper. I'm passionate about languages and sport so I enjoyed the word play involved in the naming of the Primary Ed football team and I wish them every success."
With spaces available to join the league again for January this isn't likely to be the last team named affectionately after their lecturer. Rumours around campus suggest that Sports Science are preparing to launch MJ Southampton FC after Sports Psychology lecturer Martin (MJ) Southam.
If you're interesting in joining one of the teams in the Football, Futsal or Netball leagues or fancy setting up your own, please email firstname.lastname@example.com

Dozens of teenagers spent an uncomfortable night sleeping rough in Belfast city centre to raise awareness of homelessness.
The young people, aged 15 to 18 and from all sections of the community, spent the night in the grounds of City Hall as part of Youth Initiative for Homelessness.
They gathered up their belongings shortly after 6am having lay out for 12 hours.
Community worker Paul McCusker, who arranged the event, said the teenagers were inspired to do more to help tackle homelessness having experienced a night on the streets.
He told Belfast Live: "It went very well and gave them a real insight.
"Many of them want to take it further to support the homeless and homeless charities.
"It has been a great way of raising awareness.
"Young people in particular have a big interest in homelessness and want to help."
The teenagers, from across Belfast, were supported by a string of visitors including Lord Mayor Arder Carson, former first citizen Nichola Mallon and comedian Tim McGarry.
Teenagers from 10 youth centres were involved including clubs from Tigers Bay, Ballymurphy, Ardoyne, Shankill, Whiterock, Springmartin and New Lodge.
Paul added: "As more and more people are faced to sleep rough on our streets and present as homeless we hope that events like this will help keep highlighting the issue and possibly get more help and support put in place."

After almost nine months without a new release, Modestep is back with their new single, "Higher." Infused with 2012 dubstep basses, "Higher" brings back memories of a time when a dubstep song didn't need tons of crazy basses to make a crowd go wild. But Modestep are clearly not stuck in the past, as evident by the fluttering future bass chords and modern vocals. "Higher" brings together the best of past dubstep trends with modern ones into one amazing track.
Not only is the new release an excitement in the EDM and dubstep world, where it was released is also quite amazing. Although it is their second release on Monstercat, an independent electronic label based in Vancouver, British Columbia, it is their first original release on the label. Monstercat has been releasing more established dubstep artists lately, from Dirtyphonics to Kill the Noise, with Modestep being the latest addition to their roster. With a 3rd album in the works and new music coming every few months, if they continue to release on Monstercat, they will continue to pull the label into the spotlight.
Needless to say, this song takes you "Higher" to "places we've never been" every time you listen to it. Be sure to keep an eye for more releases from Modestep in the coming months.

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Seagate (STX). Shares have added about 2.6% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Seagate due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Seagate Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Miss
Seagate delivered mixed fiscal second-quarter 2019 results. Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at $1.41 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.27 per share. However, the figure decreased 4.7% from the year-ago period and 17.1% sequentially.
Revenues of $2.715 billion marginally missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.739 billion. Further, the figure declined 6.9% from the year-ago quarter and 9.3% sequentially.
Both the top and bottom line witnessed year-over-year decline, owing to unfavorable product portfolio mix and decline in the overall sales of nearline volumes. Notably, exabyte shipments during the reported quarter decreased 4% year over year.
Performance in Detail
During the reported quarter, Seagate shipped 87.4 exabytes of hard disk drive (HDD) storage, with an average capacity of record 2.4 terabytes per drive. This marked a sequential decline of 11.5% in the total HDD exabytes shipments.
The company shipped 36.4 exabytes for the enterprise HDD market, each with an average capacity of 4.5 terabytes.
Total HDD revenues went down 7.8% year over year to $2.490 billion during the reported quarter. The company is facing challenges owing to NAND flash pricing, which is currently on the decline on account of oversupply and weaker-than-expected growth in end-market demand.
In the nearline market, the company shipped 33 exabytes of HDD, nearline products' average capacity per drive reached 6.5 terabytes. Management noted that the company's 12-terabyte helium nearline product was one of the top revenue generators in the second quarter. Growth in the 14-terabyte helium nearline product line was also encouraging. Notably, the company will also start shipping its highest capacity 16-terabyte products in the first half of 20198.
However, demand from OEM enterprise customers for nearline drive during the reported quarter was not so encouraging.
Within the edge and customer verticals, the company witnessed year-over-year exabyte growth in all end markets, including PC compute, consumer, surveillance, gaming, and NAS markets.
Non-HDD segment (cloud systems and silicon group) revenues were up 8% year over year and 18.4% sequentially to $225 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher SSD revenue.
However, the end of legacy OEM cloud system products decreased year over year.
Notably, synergies from supply agreement with Toshiba Memory Corporation along with higher investment in the SaaS, NVMe, consumer and gaming markets were positive during the reported quarter.
Margin Details
Non-GAAP gross margin which came in at 29.7% contracted 70 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year and 130 bps sequentially. The decrease can be attributed to unfavorable product portfolio mix and decline in the overall sales of nearline volumes.
Non-GAAP operating expenses were down 6.4% on a year-over-year basis to $365 million. This decrease in expenses can be attributed to certain cost improvement initiatives, operational efficiency and reduced discretionary spending.
Non-GAAP operating margin during the reported quarter came in at 16.2% compared with 17% reported in the year-ago quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Seagate ended the December quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1.36 billion down from $1.94 billion in the previous quarter. At the end of the quarter, the company had a long-term debt (including current portion) of $4.32 billion compared with $4.82 billion reported in the previous quarter.
Cash flow from operations was $875 million during the quarter under review. Free cash flow for the quarter amounted to $161 million.
During the reported quarter, the company repurchased 3.2 million shares. The company's board has approved a quarterly dividend payment of 63 cents for the December quarter to be paid on Apr 3, 2019.
Management anticipates third-quarter revenues to be 2.3 billion (+/- 5%).
Total exabyte shipments are projected to be down 10% to 15%, sequentially.
Seagate projects gross margins to be approximately 26%, much lower than the company's long-term range of 29-33%, primarily due to lower-than-expected demand for nearline HDDs.
Non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter is expected to be 70 cents (+/- 5%).
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates. The consensus estimate has shifted -27.27% due to these changes.
VGM Scores
At this time, Seagate has an average Growth Score of C, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with a B. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a grade of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Seagate has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

There is a great game of chicken being played out between Disney and Marvel Studios and their rival DC Comics and Warner Bros. Marvel was first to stake a claim in the prime May 6, 2016 release date, though they didn't reveal their title right away. Because of production delays, Warner Bros. and DC were forced to move their epic Man of Steel sequel Batman Vs. Superman out of summer 2015. And they decided to move in on Marvel's turf.
Rightly thinking that pairing two of comics most iconic superheroes would trump anything Marvel had to offer, it seemed like Disney would have to rethink its strategy for 2016. There was no way the untested Doctor Strange could face off against these DC giants. Everyone thought Marvel would surely turn tail and find another open weekend. But no, they announced they weren't moving. And not only that, they revealed that it would be Captain America 3 opening on that prime piece of real estate.
Quite a few fans balked. There was no way Captain America 3 could take on the two-fisted punch of Batman Vs. Superman. But then Captain America: The Winter Soldier opened to rave reviews from critics and fans alike. It was a winner. Not only that, it became a box office success with three #1 weekends in a row domestically. It has now earned $200 million in just three weeks, with a global take of $585 million.
But still, it can't win against Batman Vs. Superman, can it? While Disney was set to stand firm on their May 6, 2016 release date, it sounds like they are the first to start swerving the wheel. While its unclear who would be the winner, opening two huge blockbusters on the same weekend will mean financial loss for both studios. And Marvel wants all the money it can get.
Disney CEO Alan Horn was speaking at the Tribeca Film Festival today in New York, and revealed that the studio is currently struggling with the release date.
"We'll see. We're struggling with it" Alan Horn on #CaptainAmerica3 debuting against #BatmanvsSuperman— Brent Lang (@BrentALang) April 22, 2014
This is obviously the first sign of weakness. Will DC and Warner Bros. even consider backing down now? That remains to be seen, but it looks like Marvel may lose this battle. Or, if we look at it a different way, their schedule change for Captain America 3 might make them the bigger winners. What do you think should happen?

Facial Surgery
Brow Lift
If deep expression lines or other signs of aging in the brow region bother you, a brow lift may be a good procedure for you. A brow lift will:
- Minimize creases that develop across your forehead, or creases that occur high on the bridge of your nose, between the eyes
- Improve "frown lines", vertical creases that develop between your eyebrows
- Reposition a low or sagging brow that is hooding your upper eyelid
- Raise your eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position
Common rejuvenation procedures performed in conjunction with a brow lift include:
- Eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes
- Facelift to correct common aging changes in the mid- to lower face and neck regions
- Skin resurfacing techniques
Is a Brow Lift Right for You?
A brow lift is a highly individualized procedure, unique to your individual goals and needs. You should only undergo the procedure for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Brow lift surgery is a good option for you if:
- You are physically healthy
- You do not smoke
- You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic, goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
What to Expect After Your Procedure
Initial surgical wound healing may take 5 to 10 days, at which time any sutures or clips will be removed by your surgeon. You will be ready to return to work and normal activity at this time. Cosmetics can be used to hide any bruising that remains.
Healing will continue for several weeks as the swelling dissipates and incision lines refine and fade. Complete recovery may take several months.

WHAT ARE COGNITIVE AND LEARNING STRATEGIES Cognitive and learning strategies are those procedures that a student uses to succeed with a task that would be difficult without special effort.
Strategies can be external aids, like a calculator to help with difficult math problems, a clock and a calendar to help keep track of time, lists to remember things to do, a graphic organizer for complex tasks like writing a story, and the like. Or they can be communication strategies, like asking for help. Or they can be internal mental procedures, like repeating information in ones head or creating associations in order to make the information more memorable. Cognitive Strategies. A cognitive strategy is a mental process or procedure for accomplishing a particular cognitive goal.
For example, if students' goals are to write good essays, their cognitive strategies might include brainstorming and completing an outline. The cognitive strategies that students use influence how they will perform in school, as well as what they will accomplish outside of school. Researchers have found that effective learners and thinkers use more effective strategies for reading, writing, problem solving, and reasoning than ineffective learners and thinkers.

8 Characteristics Of A Great Teacher. 8 Characteristics Of A Great Teacher by Ian Lancaster What makes a teacher strong?
What differentiates the best from the rest? There's no shortage of bodies (some dramatically misguided) attempting to solve this riddle. The answers are nebulous at best. 1. Confidence while teaching can mean any number of things, it can range from having confidence in your knowledge of the material being learned to having confidence that your teaching acumen is second to none. It's the confidence that you know you're in the right spot doing what you want to be doing and that no matter what transpires, having that time to spend with those young learners is going to be beneficial both for them and for yourself. 2.

By MELISSA PILEIRO
A few years ago, the Internet buzzword was "Myspace." Not long after, it seemed like every college kid in America was getting a Facebook page. Today, the website of the moment is Twitter, and it's spreading faster than many of its competitors. The secret might be that while social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook tend to attract only young students, Twitter is intriguing just about everyone. Huge media corporations like the BBC and CNN have it, as do many popular celebrities and even politicians.
The sudden incredible popularity of Twitter has left many people on the outside asking one question: what is it, anyway? Put simply, Twitter's purpose is to answer the simple question "what are you doing?" in 140 characters or less, about the same amount of space allowed for text messages.
Yup, that's all there is to it.
So what's the appeal? For most, it's a way to keep in touch with family, friends, or colleagues without the clutter and busyness of other social networking sites. The length of individual messages, called "tweets," is short enough for readers to get all the information they need without having to dig through photos, quizzes, and other friends.
For the media, Twitter adds an interesting new dimension to the way news is exchanged. When the Internet first started to gain momentum in the 90s, journalism was revolutionized as the day's news no longer needed to wait for evening. Twitter is a step up from this almost-immediate gratification that news websites provide. Twitter can be used to post breaking news headlines long before a story is written.
Naysayers believe that Twitter does little more than support personal narcissism. Using the site might leave your friends wondering why you felt the need to tweet "having my morning cup of coffee" or "going to class." However, those that use it typically have very specific reasons for tweeting, and are thankful that they can keep others informed in a quick, concise way.
You can follow The Voice on Twitter, too! Check us out at http://www.twitter.com/cccvoice.

MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish renewable energy giant Iberdrola (IBE.MC) raised its 2019 net profit forecast on Wednesday as growth in international markets boosted first-half earnings by double digits.
Spain's biggest utility has issued a string of outlook improvements.
Earlier this year it decided to speed up an investment program under which it plans to spend 34 billion euros ($38 billion), mainly on its networks and renewables businesses, by 2022.
First-half core earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose 12.5% to 4.99 billion euros as growth in the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Germany offset lower returns in Spain and Britain.
The supplier of energy to more than 30 million people globally raised its net profit forecast for 2019 from a high single-digit increase to a double-digit rise.
In the first half of the year, net profit climbed 16.6% to 1.64 billion euros.
Earnings rolled in from Iberdrola's new Wikinger wind farm in Germany, helping balance out lower income from its networks and renewables businesses in Spain and commercial operations in Britain.
Dry weather in Spain cut hydroelectric generation by 45.1% versus a year earlier.

Engineering Marvels while Sailing
Allastair Jackson of England spent 50 years working on bridges and rigs all over the world. When he took his wife and son sailing on the York River in Virginia, he was intrigued to learn that the Coleman Bridge was rebuilt in a shipyard nearly 20 years ago and delivered on barges. It was supposed to take ten days to install, but the engineers did it in five.
"I spent three years in St. John's, Newfoundland, where the fog rolls in because the temperatures change so rapidly. We installed oil rigs that were able to endure 90-foot waves. I never saw them that high, of course.
"I also helped with a bridge in South Korea over a river that had 10 knot current due to massive tides of 20 feet or more. It was a trick to get everything set in that water."
Today he and his wife live in Yorkshire, which has its own set of bridges along the Ouse River.

Public Policy Forum Blog
Public Schooling in Southeast Wisconsin: 2014-15
For the last 30 years, the Public Policy Forum has collected and analyzed education data to produce an annual report on public school districts in southeast Wisconsin. The latest report, Public Schooling in Southeast Wisconsin: 2014-15, provides updated analyses using new data and trends of student demographics and enrollments, school district finance, and some limited measures of academic achievement.
Past versions of this report have presented and described student academic performance as measured by state assessments. The detailed analysis served to quantify and highlight achievement gaps and showed which districts excelled and which could use further support. Wisconsin shifted to a new assessment – the Badger Exam – for 2014-15, which would limit trend analysis, but would still provide a comparative analysis among the region's school districts.
The results of the Badger Exam for the 2014-15 school year have not been released and may not be for some time to come. Consequently, this year's report contains no data describing yearly academic achievement. To compensate for the limited data, we provide a deeper exploration of high school achievement measures, such as graduation rates, and the ACT and Advanced Placement exams.
The transition to a new state assessment was just one of several changes to education policy. The state's biennial budget included a number of provisions that alter how students are assessed, how districts operate, and how schools and districts are held accountable. The report provides a comprehensive review of education policy changes resulting from the state budget and other legislation.
Some key findings include:
Enrollment decline in the region accelerates. Southeast Wisconsin public school enrollment declined by 0.8 percentage points in 2014-15, representing a loss of 2,375 students. Meanwhile, minority enrollment continues to grow at a steady pace in both the region and the state as a whole. While Latino enrollment increased in almost every district in the region, both African American and white student enrollment decreased.
Poverty rates decline. In the region, 44.9% of students in 2014-15 were eligible for the Free or Reduced-Price Lunch program. This is a decline from 46.1% of students in 2013-14 and represents the first time the rate has declined in more than a decade.
College readiness measures show continued growth. For both Advanced Placement and ACT exams, student participation and performance increased at the regional and statewide level. Average ACT scores increased marginally by 0.3 points in the region, while participation increased by 1.6 percentage points. Graduation rates improved for the fifth straight year, but the region, at 84.5%, still lags behind the state, which ranks third in the nation with a rate of 88.6%.
Per-pupil expenditures in the region grew. Each county in the region saw an increase in per-pupil expenditures from 2012-13 (the latest year for which financial data are available). Also, for the region as a whole, per-pupil revenues in 2013-14 were $12,045, which represents an increase of 2.5% from the previous year.
Student participation measures show improvement. Attendance increased both regionally and statewide, although the region still lags slightly behind the state. Truancy remains an issue, especially in southeast Wisconsin, where the rate (18.3%) is nearly double that of the state (9.9%). However, the dropout rate improved significantly, falling to 1.7%, its lowest level since at least 1998.
Shifting student numbers and demographics, combined with the overhaul of state assessment and accountability structures, have presented challenges for school and district leaders. The analyses in this report set the stage for continued research and discussion among stakeholders as more data become available.

Mike Pompeo was the first guest on Hugh Hewitt's new MSNBC show. As CIA director, Pompeo was brought on the show to answer vital questions about intelligence and how the White House plans on handling their continued issue with leakers revealing info.
"We, and I would say all of President Trump's government, is incredibly focused on both stopping leaks of any kind from any agency, and when they happen pursuing them with incredible vigor," Pompeo said, adding, "and I think we'll have some successes both on the deterrence side, that is stopping them from happening, as well as on punishing those who we catch who have done it."

Winter in Waterville Valley isn't just about skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. It's also broomball season. And broomball players can be just as fanatical as their skiing and snowboarding brethren.
I blogged about my broomball memories in 2011 and thought I'd share the story again.
When I applied for my first post-college job at Waterville Valley in May 1981, the woman interviewing me seemed less interested in my college degree, work history or job skills and more interested in my skiing and broomball playing ability.
"Well, I'm a pretty good skier." "Check" went the interviewer's pen.
"But…I don't know what broomball is." Down went the interviewer's pen.
However, I quickly interjected, "My fiance might know how to play broomball!"
I was hired.
That first winter in Waterville Valley my fiance – now husband – Harry was recruited to play on a broomball team (Harry and his team are pictured below, Harry's in the lower left). Back then – before the indoor ice arena was built – two of Waterville Valley's tennis courts were flooded to create an outdoor rink. Various Waterville Valley businesses and organizations put up teams to play in the broomball league. These teams were a mix of youthful resort employees (that's the category Harry fell into) and seasoned older players. The league was co-ed and a minimum of two women players had to be on the ice at all times (probably why my employer was so interested in my broomball ability!).
In those early days, broomball players used real brooms and wore Sorel boots or sneakers. Nobody wore face masks. No plexiglass separated spectators from the game. Players were fueled by pre-game beers.
The very first game I attended was memorable. Players slipped, slid and crashed into one another. The small, hard ball was whacked all over the ice and repeatedly flew into the crowd of spectators, who were mostly standing atop snowbanks looking down on the ice rink. One wild ball flew into the crowd and hit a girl in the face. Blood spurted everywhere as she was led to a nearby car and driven to the local hospital. One aggressive player body slammed another right out of the rink. The player jumped back into the rink with fists flying. It was madness and mayhem! I LOVED it!
Nowadays, broomball players wear special rubber-soled shoes and helmets. The "brooms" have a wooden or aluminum shaft and a rubber-molded triangular head. Referees maintain tight control of the game ensuring safety and enhancing the integrity of the sport. Plexiglass separates the players from the spectators.
One thing hasn't changed, though. Waterville Valley's broomball league players are just as serious and passionate about the game as they were in the early 80's, and it's still fun to watch.
You can catch games on Thursday nights from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the Waterville Valley Ice Arena. Admission is free and spectators are encouraged.
By the way, although the history of broomball is sketchy, recent research indicates that a sport similar to broomball, known as knattleikr, was played in Iceland in the 10th century. The sport was almost considered warfare, with the occasional death not uncommon, and games could involve whole villages and last up to 14 days. Writer Hord Grimkellson reported that, in a game between Strand and Botn, that "before dusk, six of the Strand players lay dead, though none on the Botn side."
What did I tell you? Madness and mayhem!

Every moment changing with the tide, the marsh. Continuos discovery and visuals, the marsh.
God's country, the marsh. Home.
Embracing nature is a gift. Be blessed!
Getting there is part of the journey. The ferry, she takes you along the core sound, venturing through the waters with the sun on your face. Happening upon the wild Spanish horses – Shackleford Horses whose grace and beauty is astounding. Then the arrival, upon which your experience will be heightened in complete and utter delight.
Wander down the path and turn to walk across the dunes to the shoreline. Treasures await you. However, turn back and stop. You see her majestic stance against blue skies. She is mesmerizing!
Get close up. Climb into her being and join the souls of her journey. The light guides and directs those ships and beings a shore. Enticing and memorable she is.
Catch the ferry and enjoy the experience to Cape Lookout.
Mesmerized and dreamy…without additives, just in a state of peace and creativity. The tracks swirl and create – beauty in black and white.

Down that road, turn left at the bend and right at the old oak tree. Park in the area between the two cypress. Walk over to the right and continue through the two magnolias on the dirt path about half a football field. Climb through the gate and you will see her – the Train Lady.

In the midst of natures crazy cyclical weather patterns I captured a beautiful splash of fall color at the World's Largest Rotary Wheel.
Greenfield Lake Park is where the Rotary Wheel is located and is just spectacular in its fall display in December with temps in the 80's.
I am going to just count my blessings for this amazing day and an opportunity to capture nature at its best!
Perusing the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center at the Easterd of Harker's Island, came upon another rounded bottom ginger ale bottle. There are no markings, however, the color and thickness of the bottle is similar to that of the Ross Bellfast Bottle, dated 1870, I found in the sand of the Cape Fear River back in February 2013.

Lions, tigers and bears -alright!
There is this little, small-town zoo: Tregembo Zoo – Wilmington, North Carolina.
(http://www.tregemboanimalpark.com/) for over 50 years the Tregembo family has been zoo-ing it! This zoo is one of the best attractions in Wilmington. Where else can you go in Southeastern, North Carolina and feel like you had a chance to be like Dr Doolittle and travel the world to see exotic animals?
From peacocks:
To panthers:
And giraffes:
And so much more:
So travel the world in our small hometown and discover animals you have always wanted to see!
Up high patiently waiting for clearance to swoop down and steal a bit of the roadside kill – a decaying kit fox next to the marsh bridge were two Turkey Buzzards, also known as Turkey Vulture.
My admiration is of the wing span size and essence of survival. Definitely not for their beauty, as they are grotesque and vicious looking.

Rocketing oil prices and a booming US market have of course helped, but is growth assured even if WTI crude drops back down to $60 a barrel? For this episode of the Investors Chronicle's Extraction Podcast, Mr Johnson speaks with resources writer Alex Newman about North American shale, the long-term health of the oil industry, and Hunting's return to the dividend list.For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
