The materials business segment is helping to bring about a circular economy that offers comfort and convenience and is in harmony with the environment. Guided by Yokogawa’s “Three goals” for sustainability by the year 2050, the materials business is focused on achieving a circular economy. The world today faces planet-wide environmental crises, including severe climate change, marine plastic litter, biodiversity loss, and natural resource depletion. These problems require immediate attention as they are interrelated and pose a threat to all life on earth. To address these global issues, rapid progress in the direction of carbon neutrality and a circular economy is being made all over the world. Our customers in the materials industry are now pressed to come up with technologies and solutions that enable more efficient energy use and recycling, as well as a switch to materials with lower environmental impact. These customers are not only pursuing innovations with raw materials and processing technologies but also are developing new materials with unprecedented performance and properties. The mobility industry, for example—where connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE) vehicles are driving new trends in technology and services—is answering the need for new materials to be used in lighter and stronger vehicle bodies and parts, adhesives, rechargeable batteries, and motors. In addition, the growing use and sophistication of 5G and IoT technologies are driving up worldwide demand for semiconductor materials, making it a challenge to secure their stable supply. Yokogawa’s materials business segment is helping to bring about a circular economy that offers comfort and convenience and is in harmony with the environment. For our customers in the functional chemicals, biomass materials, pulp & paper, textiles, steel, non-ferrous metals, mining, mobility, and electrical/electronics industries, we deliver solutions that improve productivity, reduce environmental impact, and save energy. In the chemicals industry, Yokogawa has installed a large number of plant monitoring and control systems for customers primarily in Japan, and has built strong relationships with these companies over the years. The production and quality-control insights and know-how gained through such partnerships have provided Yokogawa with a wealth of solutions that are shared throughout the Yokogawa Group and are being deployed globally. In the mining and metals industries, Yokogawa is taking advantage of its extensive track record and long-term partnerships with customers mainly in Australia, South America, and Africa to offer a diverse range of solutions. In addition to our core process automation (PA) business for chemicals and other industries, we also are developing a factory automation (FA) business targeting the mobility, battery manufacturing, and semiconductor supply chains as well as carbon management and other environmental applications. Solutions for Value Creation: Cooperative Process Optimization Through the visualization of customers’ challenges, we help them optimize operations and create value by facilitating quick and effective decision-making. Manufacturing operations in the materials industry frequently consist of a series of processes. When each process is run independently, diverse variables come into play and affect the other processes. Partial optimization can be achieved by refining the individual processes, but optimizing how these processes work together remains a challenge. To address this need, Yokogawa offers solutions that optimize process coordination by identifying and helping to resolve issues caused by cross-process factors. Specifically, these solutions involve the statistical analysis of historical plant operation data, the identification of control loops that require improvements, and the calculation of optimal tuning parameters using proprietary algorithms. At a chemical plant in Japan, we found that a disturbance in a reaction tank was impacting downstream processes, altering the temperature of cooled fluids and causing fluctuations in intermediate product flow rates. By using our solution to optimize control parameters, the plant successfully reduced the flow rate fluctuations and decreased its use of steam and cold water. The resulting energy savings totaled approximately 10 million yen per year. At a paper mill, Yokogawa discovered that certain steps in the papermaking process were affecting the concentration of the materials used in the stock preparation process, and that this had been causing fluctuations in the basis weight (grams per square meter) of paper products. By changing the parameters of the control loop in question, the paper mill stabilized the processes and reduced the waste of materials and energy, increasing profits by about 20 million yen per year. Carbon Management Solutions The need for carbon management has become increasingly urgent as more customers strive for carbon neutrality. Carbon management is the process of ascertaining the current level of greenhouse emissions and making continuous efforts for their control and reduction. Especially in the manufacturing industry, it is necessary to visualize emissions for the entire supply chain—from the procurement of raw materials to disposal and recycling—and to seek the reduction and optimization of emissions through a holistic approach that crosses the boundaries separating individual enterprises. We at Yokogawa provide our customers with energy-management solutions that efficiently monitor and control the flow, consumption, and production of energy within their factories and communities. Capitalizing on the knowledge that is gained, we support our customers in their efforts to decarbonize their operations by proposing carbon-management solutions that are designed to reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. Under the banner of “co-achieving zero carbon,” Yokogawa will continue to partner with its customers in the provision of solutions that achieve carbon neutrality throughout the supply chain. Toward a Circular Economy Based on its “Three goals” for sustainability by the year 2050, Yokogawa’s materials business is focused on providing solutions mainly to the functional chemicals sector that will promote comfort and convenience and contribute to the realization of a circular economy that is in harmony with the environment. To realize a circular economy, we will act to fulfill our responsibility for the good of all people and society and the future of our planet. We will tackle issues and collaborate with our customers to limit GHG emissions and shift to inexpensive, reliable, and sustainable energy using our original technology and know-how to achieve the goal of carbon neutral. We contribute to the realization of a new recycling-oriented society that can coexist with the global environment. Potřebujete víc informací o lidech, technologii a řešeních?Kontaktuje nás

The Zambia’s Road Development Agency (RDA), a governmental entity engaged with the development of roads to support socio-economic growth in the country, has recently awarded a USD 492 million contract to a Chinese company to undertake construction and repair works of roads in the Copperbelt in Zambia’s central region. The contract is part of the Pave Zambia 2000 Project which seeks to rehabilitate and construct a total of 2,000 km of urban roads within the next five years, and that is totally funded by the National Road Fund Agency (NRFA). The awarded company China Henan International Cooperation Group (CHICO), a Chinese state owned construction and engineering company, will construct and repair a total of 406 km of roads according to Reuters. RDA’s Chief Executive Officer Kanyuka Mumba, explained that the main aim of the road is to reduce costs of transport of goods and services from and to the Copperbelt. According to the Financial Times, the Copperbelt’s mines manage a cost of production per tonne over the sector’s average of USD 5,500, due to high costs as those on transport of goods that makes the mines expensive to operate. Zambia’s President Edgar Lungu, explained that the investment will support Zambia’s economic growth for the next years by reducing operating costs. According to Reuters, Zambia expects a growth at around 5.0% in the year 2015, mainly driven by the copper industry which currently accounts for up to 30% of the Government Revenues according to a FT research and 78 according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

In today's data-driven business world, a reliable and accurate source of information is crucial for the success of any Business Intelligence (BI) system. Understanding the intricacies of source data is essential for making informed decisions and gaining valuable insights. In this article, we will explore the various aspects of source data in BI systems, debunk common misconceptions, delve into the role of source data in BI system performance, and discuss future trends shaping the field. Understanding Source Data in Business Intelligence Systems Before we dive into the specifics, let's define what source data actually is and why it holds such importance in BI systems. Source data refers to the original information or records gathered from various operational systems within an organization. It acts as the foundation upon which BI systems rely to generate meaningful insights and facilitate decision-making processes. Imagine a large corporation with multiple departments, each using different software systems to manage their operations. These systems generate vast amounts of data on a daily basis, ranging from sales transactions to customer interactions. This raw data, in its unprocessed form, is the source data that BI systems tap into. Now, let's explore the importance of source data in BI systems in more detail. Importance of Source Data in BI Systems High-quality source data is the lifeblood of a BI system. It enables organizations to better understand their business operations, identify trends, detect anomalies, and make data-driven decisions. When source data is accurate, complete, and up-to-date, it provides a solid foundation for BI systems to extract valuable insights. For example, by analyzing sales data from different regions and time periods, a company can identify which products are performing well and adjust their marketing strategies accordingly. Moreover, source data plays a crucial role in detecting anomalies or outliers. By comparing current data with historical patterns, BI systems can flag unusual trends or behaviors that may require further investigation. This early detection can help organizations mitigate risks and prevent potential issues from escalating. However, the importance of source data goes beyond just generating insights. It also impacts the credibility and trustworthiness of the information provided by BI systems. If the source data is inaccurate or unreliable, the insights derived from it may be misleading and potentially detrimental to business growth. For example, imagine a retail company that relies on BI systems to forecast demand and optimize inventory levels. If the source data used for these predictions is flawed, the company may end up with excess inventory or stockouts, resulting in financial losses and customer dissatisfaction. Therefore, organizations must prioritize data governance and data quality management to ensure the integrity of their source data. This involves implementing data validation processes, establishing data standards, and regularly monitoring data quality metrics. In conclusion, source data is the foundation upon which BI systems operate. It provides the raw material from which valuable insights are extracted, enabling organizations to make informed decisions. By understanding the importance of source data and investing in data quality, businesses can unlock the full potential of their BI systems and gain a competitive edge in today's data-driven world. Types of Source Data for BI Systems Source data is the foundation of any Business Intelligence (BI) system. It provides the raw material for analysis and decision-making. However, not all source data is created equal. It can come in different forms, each requiring specific handling and processing methodologies within a BI system. Let's explore two primary types of source data: Structured Source Data Structured source data refers to organized and well-defined information typically stored in databases or spreadsheets. This type of data is like a neatly arranged library, with each piece of information assigned to a specific category or field. It is easily machine-readable, enabling straightforward extraction, transformation, and loading processes into a BI system. Structured source data is the backbone of many BI systems. It includes transactional data, such as sales records, customer information, and financial data. This data is usually stored in relational databases, where tables and columns define the structure. The data is organized, consistent, and easily accessible. For example, a retail company may have a structured source data consisting of customer names, addresses, purchase history, and product details. This data can be easily extracted and loaded into a BI system, allowing analysts to gain insights into customer behavior, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions. Structured source data is highly valuable for BI systems because it provides a solid foundation for analysis. It allows for easy integration, aggregation, and comparison across different datasets. With structured data, organizations can perform complex queries, generate reports, and visualize information in meaningful ways. Unstructured Source Data On the other hand, unstructured source data encompasses information that lacks a predefined organizational structure. It is like a messy attic, filled with various types of documents, files, and media. Examples of unstructured source data include text documents, emails, social media posts, and image or video files. Unstructured source data poses a greater challenge for BI systems due to its diverse formats and inherent complexity. Unlike structured data, unstructured data does not fit neatly into tables and columns. It requires advanced techniques, such as natural language processing and machine learning, to extract meaningful insights. Take social media posts as an example. They can contain a mix of text, hashtags, mentions, and emojis. Analyzing this unstructured data requires techniques that can understand sentiment, identify topics, and extract relevant information. By analyzing social media posts, organizations can gain insights into customer opinions, brand perception, and market trends. Similarly, analyzing unstructured source data like images and videos can provide valuable insights. For example, a retail company can use image recognition algorithms to analyze product images shared by customers on social media. This analysis can help identify popular products, detect brand logos, or even monitor customer sentiment based on facial expressions. Unstructured source data is becoming increasingly important in the era of big data. It holds a wealth of untapped information that can provide valuable insights and competitive advantages. However, harnessing the power of unstructured data requires advanced technologies and analytical capabilities. In conclusion, both structured and unstructured source data play crucial roles in BI systems. Structured data provides a solid foundation for analysis, while unstructured data offers valuable insights from diverse sources. By effectively handling and processing both types of data, organizations can unlock the full potential of their BI systems and make informed decisions that drive success. Evaluating the Truthfulness of Statements about Source Data Now that we have a solid understanding of source data, it's crucial to eliminate misconceptions surrounding its characteristics and trustworthiness. Source data is the foundation upon which businesses make critical decisions and derive valuable insights. However, it is essential to recognize that source data is not infallible. One common misconception is that source data is always accurate. While the aim is to have reliable data, errors can occur during collection, processing, or storage, leading to potential inaccuracies. Errors in source data can arise from various factors. For example, during the data collection phase, human error or technical glitches can result in incorrect or incomplete data. Additionally, data processing procedures may introduce errors if not executed correctly or if there are issues with the algorithms used. Even during data storage, data corruption or hardware failures can compromise the integrity of the source data. To mitigate the risk of erroneous insights, organizations must adopt rigorous validation and verification processes. It is imperative to carefully validate and verify the source data to minimize the risk of inaccurate conclusions or misleading trends. By implementing data governance frameworks, organizations can establish clear guidelines and standards for data collection, ensuring data accuracy and consistency. Data quality audits are another effective means of validating the statements made about source data. These audits involve comprehensive assessments of the data, examining its completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness. Through these audits, organizations can identify any data anomalies or discrepancies and take corrective measures to improve data integrity. Furthermore, organizations can leverage sophisticated validation mechanisms to enhance the reliability of the insights derived from business intelligence (BI) systems. These mechanisms can include automated data validation tools, statistical analysis techniques, and machine learning algorithms. By employing these advanced techniques, organizations can identify patterns, outliers, and inconsistencies in the source data, ensuring the accuracy and trustworthiness of the statements made based on that data. In conclusion, while source data is a valuable asset for organizations, it is not immune to errors or inaccuracies. To ensure the veracity of statements about source data, organizations must implement robust validation and verification processes, such as data governance frameworks, data quality audits, and sophisticated validation mechanisms. By doing so, organizations can minimize the risk of relying on erroneous insights and make informed decisions based on reliable and trustworthy data. The Role of Source Data in BI System Performance Source data quality significantly impacts the performance and effectiveness of a BI system. Let's explore its role in more detail. Impact of Source Data Quality on BI Poor-quality source data can lead to skewed insights, biased decision-making, and compromised competitive advantage. Low data quality can be a result of inconsistent data formats, incomplete records, duplicate entries, or outdated information. Ensuring high-quality source data is essential for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the BI system. Optimizing Source Data for Better BI Performance Organizations can optimize source data quality through data cleansing techniques, data integration processes, and continuous monitoring. By implementing robust data management practices, such as standardizing data formats, eliminating redundancy, and implementing data profiling tools, organizations can improve the overall performance and reliability of their BI systems. Future Trends in Source Data for BI Systems As technology rapidly evolves, so does the landscape of source data. Let's take a glimpse into the future and explore emerging trends. Emerging Technologies and Their Impact on Source Data The emergence of technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things is revolutionizing the way organizations collect and utilize source data. These advancements offer potential improvements in data collection, analysis, and integration, enabling more comprehensive and real-time insights for BI systems. Predictions for Source Data in BI Systems Looking ahead, we can expect increased automation in data collection, advanced natural language processing techniques for unstructured data analysis, and the adoption of blockchain technology for enhanced data security and traceability. In conclusion, understanding the true nature of source data is paramount for building robust and reliable BI systems. We have explored the definition and significance of source data, debunked common misconceptions, highlighted its impact on BI system performance, and discussed future trends to watch out for. By leveraging high-quality source data, organizations can gain a competitive edge and harness the full potential of BI systems to drive informed decision-making and propel business growth.

Way back in 2009, writer-director Jody Hill’s black comedy Observe and Report rode a wave of controversy to modest box office success and, perhaps better in the long term, notoriety. The deeply imperfect film is awfully enamored with its own ostensible subversiveness, confusing self-flattery for gimlet-eyed realism. If it sounds like I’m kind of down on the movie, I kind of am, except for one aspect of it that actually is subversive, that actually does buck against the status quo of Hollywood and film culture, and the arts in America as a whole: its portrayal of Nell (Collette Wolfe), a character who is not merely a Christian but a born-again Christian, as a genuinely kind person who is not hiding darkness and hypocrisy within her. Hill’s attitude to pretty much everyone else in the film is bilious, but in this instance he refuses to construct the easy villain that will flatter his audience’s worldview. (I suspect Born Again Christians did not make up a large percentage of Observe and Report’s audience.) She held one of a handful of character traits that more often than not, in American films, signal that This Person Is Not To Be Trusted: active Christianity, military authority (grunts are sometimes fine, though certainly not always), political views that are to the right of Jane Fonda. That sort of thing. For decades, this has been part of our storytelling tradition — one that filmmakers and critics alike are inured to thanks to the privilege that accompanies being a liberal working in the arts — and it allows the audience to easily identify a villain, or a potential villain, before they’ve even had a chance to do anything wrong. Consider M*A*S*H, Robert Altman’s 1970 breakout film, in which we are introduced to the character Frank Burns (Robert Duvall) when the film’s main protagonist Hawkeye (Donald Sutherland) joins the unit and is shown by Capt. Forrest (Tom Skerritt) to the tent he’ll be sharing with Burns. The two men find Burns in the tent, teaching Ho-Jon (Kim Atwood), who works as a mess-boy on the grounds of this particular mobile Army hospital, to read English using the Bible. Burns is a Christian, and Hawkeye and Forrest regard the situation with a smirking cynicism, offering the boy a nudie magazine as a better way to learn the language than the Bible. On one level, fine, objecting to missionary conversion, which is the subtext here, makes sense and is a defensible moral stance. But Burns treats Ho-Jon very kindly in this scene. Whether or not a given audience member views the religious tradition in which he is engaging here as ultimately damaging (never mind the charitable aspects of missionary work), Burns himself appears to be a very nice and moral person. One may disagree with him, but perhaps one can respect his decency at the same time. Or maybe not. Shortly after we’re introduced to Frank Burns, there’s another scene where he enters the same tent. Hawkeye and Forrest are already there, being served martinis by Ho-Jon. (One might say the two white men are both condescending to and exploiting the Korean boy, but never mind.) Soon after Burns arrives, Ho-Jon leaves. Hawkeye and Forrest offer Burns a martini, which he declines, saying he doesn’t drink. Hawkeye makes fun of him for that. Burns then kneels at his cot and begins praying. The whole time he does this, Forrest and Hawkeye mock him (“You ever encountered this syndrome before?” “Not with anyone over the age of eight years old”). Not because he’s doing anything wrong, but because he’s praying. Of course, it eventually turns out that Frank Burns is one of the film’s villains when he blames someone else for the death of a patient that he caused. No matter: we’re already supposed to hate him. His (eventual) villainy is merely confirmation of what his Christianity ostensibly communicated to us: he is bad, because our prejudices are correct. Now, M*A*S*H being a Robert Altman film, things are a tiny bit more complicated than that (though I’d argue the film is still among his worst), as there is another Christian character, Father Mulcahy (Rene Auberjonois), whose ineffective faith in the face of human horror renders him merely pathetic rather than actively vile. But this sort of thing needn’t be complicated at all! Look at Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, which won the 2017 Best Picture Oscar. In that film, about a janitor (Sally Hawkins) who works at a top-secret military lab in the 1950s and falls in love with a humanoid amphibious creature (Doug Jones), it’s established early on that the men who run this lab, led by Colonel Richard Strickland (Michael Shannon), are small-minded, mean, cruel, in some cases racist. If there’s a shining moral light in the lab, apart from the cleaning staff and the sea creature, it’s the scientist Hofstettler, played by Michael Stuhlbarg, who we eventually learn is a Soviet spy. Del Toro doesn’t seem especially enamored by the other Soviet agents who appear in the film – they’re among the film’s many villains, in large part because they have succumbed to decadent American bourgeois living – but Hofstettler’s commitment to science and humanity means he is basically good. The same can’t be said of the American military in the movie. So much so that when we get to the part of the story where our motley crew of heroes carries out their plan to free the amphibian humanoid from the lab, Hofstettler, a willing participant in this plan, uses a syringe of poison to, well, let’s not mince words here, murder an MP who stopped the van the film’s heroes were using to commit their act of sabotage. It should be noted here that we have not seen this MP in the film before. He’s a grunt. Not particularly important. We just know that he’s a member of the American military, which has been depicted throughout as racist, cruel, et cetera. Because this young man chose to join the Army, he must be those things, too. Of course, if del Toro wanted to complicate things and make his film interesting (which it is not, and I say this as a del Toro fan), this murder would reverberate among our heroes. Some rumination might occur: “We have done this good thing, freeing an innocent creature who was being tortured, but in doing so we have also done this evil thing.” But no, after the MP is killed, Giles (Richard Jenkins), the driver of the van who saw Hofstettler commit that murder, says, in a humorously trembling voice “I think he just killed that man!” This is meant to be funny, because part of Giles’s deal is that he’s usually not the kind of guy to take big chances or do things that scare him, but gee oh boy, look at him now! This is the only acknowledgment, apart from the audience’s own eyes, that the death even occurred. That American soldier is never shown doing anything wrong, but the audience is meant to be happy that he’s taken out. At least Charlie Peck, Dennis Quaid’s character from this year’s The Intruder, eventually murders somebody. But of course, that is simple plot mechanics; by the time of his misdeed the audience already dislikes him intensely because when we first meet him he is doing something legal and civically responsible, and this we cannot have. At the beginning of the film, Scott and Annie (Michael Ealy and Meagan Good) are shopping for a house. They find one they like tucked away in a nice, secluded, woodsy area, and while looking around they see a deer, who, despite the enchantment the couple feel in their hearts, is immediately shot down by Peck. Peck is the former owner of the house, and has been maintaining the place while it’s on the market. He tells the horrified couple that it’s important to keep the deer population down (which in many parts of the country is true!) and in any case, that’s why he was on the property — to hunt legally — and he didn’t see the couple before he fired. But he shot a deer and, worse, owns a gun. The murder he eventually commits is, in terms of audience manipulation, merely a formality. There’s a scene later in The Intruder that is instructive. Charlie has been invited by Scott and Annie to a dinner party (despite Scott’s insistence that anyone participating in gun ownership and legal hunting is a dangerous psychopath). At one point, one of the other guests (the eventual murder victim, in fact) disagrees with something Charlie says. It’s a minor point, but the film suddenly changes its point of view from Scott and Annie to Charlie, and we see a fantasy: Charlie standing up and violently attacking the man who challenged him. Again, this didn’t actually happen in the world of the film, it’s in Charlie’s mind, but director Deon Taylor and/or writer David Loughery felt it necessary to briefly up-end their film’s whole structure so that the audience could see the violent thoughts in Charlie’s mind. Perhaps because they realized they hadn’t laid the necessary groundwork to justify Scott’s paranoia, which is essential? Or because they think passing fantasies are the same as action? It can’t possibly be both, can it? Surely when casting those with whom you disagree as the villain, more thought is put into it than that. It’s all a matter of empathy, an emotional and intellectual state that demands you try to understand the feelings of everyone, especially those with whom you might not side with in a given situation. (If you’re already prone to siding with someone, it’s not really empathy when you agree with them.) Films that are truly empathetic can pose a challenge for the audience (not to mention the filmmaker) and are therefore best left unproduced. Usually, anyway. In Debra Granik’s 2010 film Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence plays Ree Dolly, a young woman living in Appalachia. Due to her missing father, sick mother, and the secluded criminal environment she was born into, Ree must raise her two young siblings; out of desperation, she decides to join the Army, because she heard that by doing so a person is guaranteed $40,000. She meets the Army recruiter at the local high school, and I, when I first saw the film, habituated as I’ve become to the very idea of military recruitment of young people being presented in modern American films as anything other than insidious and exploitative, was somewhat shocked by the scene as it unfolded. The recruiter (Russell Schalk) doesn’t try to fool Ree, doesn’t try to entice her into giving up her life and family just so he can throw her into machine gun fire. No, he actually talks her out of it. The recruiter sees how difficult her life is, sees her bruises, and teases out of her the fact that she’s raising her brother and sister alone. He tells her that she needs a better reason to join the Army during wartime than $40,000, and that she’d be doing more good back home. I was quite unprepared for Debra Granik’s actual empathy. The cinema could use more of it.

Voters across Wyoming endorse Republicans and local control By Gregory Nickerson — November 5, 2014 In a general election stacked with all-but-sure races that favored Republicans, Wyoming voters focused on education as the major contested issue of this election. To some observers, the Superintendent of Public Instruction race between two political newcomers was the only competitive statewide race. In the end, Department of Family Services administrator Jillian Balow (R) had a solid victory over former Qwest communications executive Mike Ceballos (D). In some respects, the Superintendent race repeated the broad Republican support that brought Cindy Hill to power in 2010. Yet in other ways, the race faced greater scrutiny because of the controversies that emerged between Hill and the legislature over the past four years. Balow prevailed despite strong campaigning by Ceballos, who outraised his opponent by two-to-one and completed a tour of all 48 school districts in the state. “I was in a contested primary election, and a contested and spirited general election,” Balow said. Her campaign focused on creating state-based initiatives and supporting local control. “We had a different message and, again, I am grateful to the voters of Wyoming.” Ceballos congratulated Balow on her win. “We are all focused on improving education, and helping students to do all that they can do,” Ceballos said. “I certainly wish her success.” Also in education, a ballot initiative to allow non-residents to serve on the board of trustees for the University of Wyoming failed, an indication that voters were not ready to embrace outside input in oversight of the state’s flagship institution. WyoFile spoke with a number of voters who said no single issue brought them to the polls. Voters received ballots with numerous uncontested races, but still felt important to make their voice heard. “I can’t say there was a single driving issue,” said Frank Boley of Big Horn. He said he cast a ballot, “just to be an active voter and do my part. There was no single issue on the agendas of anyone who was running.” David Walker was one of more than 650 who cast ballots at the local Woman’s Club in Big Horn. The small log building is headquarters for the largest precinct in Sheridan County. Walker rode his bike two miles on the mild November evening to arrive at the polls. “Voting is our greatest freedom in this country and any time we have the opportunity to vote, we should vote,” Walker said. “It is what gives us a free society.” In Casper, several voters said they wanted their voices heard on the optional 1 cent sales tax ballot measure. Education issues were also among their priorities in casting their votes. “I wanted to make sure that that went through,” said Mandi Wymore, who cast her ballot in Casper’s largest precinct on the east side. “And I care about who is in for Superintendent (of) Public Instruction, and who is representing our ward.” Bill Edwards of Casper said education was his top priority when voting Tuesday. “I think it’s a critical part of what we do as folks in Wyoming; preparing our young folks to pursue what they want to pursue as they go through their lives, to be able to compete in global markets.” Brian Husske, of Big Horn, brought his frustrations with national politics to the polls. “I want to make it all Republican,” Husske said. “I don’t think that our country has been running very good, the way it’s going. We need some good honest people in there, and so far I haven’t seen that.” Most races for statewide office brought easy wins for Republican candidates. Sen. Mike Enzi, Rep. Cynthia Lummis, state Treasurer Mark Gordon, and Auditor Cynthia Cloud all won reelection. The race for governor turned out as many expected. A last-minute write-in campaign from from unsuccessful GOP primary candidate Taylor Haynes did not take enough votes from incumbent Matt Mead (R) to provide an advantage to minority party candidate Pete Gosar (D). In the Secretary of State race, Cheyenne property developer Ed Murray won with a strong showing, carrying the momentum from his well-funded primary race, which he self-funded to the tune of $400,000, the most in personal funds ever raised by a candidate running for that office. — Bill Novotny, III (@bnovotny3) August 28, 2014 Shortly after 9 p.m. Superintendent candidate Balow took a lead of 11,000 votes with about half of precincts reporting statewide. By 9:40 her lead had grown to nearly 20,000 votes. At the end of the night she had captured 61 percent of the vote, or 97,399 ballots next to the 61,529 that went to Democratic candidate Ceballos. “From the moment I announced that I would be running I talked about healing a fractured education system and moving education forward,” the superintendent-elect said. “Wyomingites are very engaged in education issues across the board, and that is a very good place for our state to be going into this position.” When Balow takes office she plans to reopen a conversation between the State Board of Education and the public about the Common Core standards. She called for building consensus on the issue, “so we have standards made by our state, not by a few on behalf of our state.” Balow said she looks forward to working with the Legislature and seeking districts that can model successful practices. Despite being outraised by Ceballos two to one, Balow said her frugal grassroots campaign, her message, and hard work won the day. Ceballos said he was disappointed by the loss, even as he felt pleased with the work done by his campaign. “It’s so sad,” he said. “It would have been great a job to have. I had great conversations with the districts and was excited about it, but I think we did a fine job. I’m real pleased about that. I just wish we could have won.” Despite the loss, Ceballos said he will continue to serve on six boards relating to education. “As much as you want to be the solution you can’t take your marbles and go home,” he said. “I’ll continue to be involved. It is what I like.” Ceballos called the campaign a major learning experience. “I have never done this before and there is so much I’ve have gotten out of it,” he said. “You meet so many people with ideas who are willing to share and talk with you. It was very positive. The last eight weeks has truly been a kick in the pants, a really fun thing, and I am glad I did it.” Voters believed the superintendent’s race featured two solid candidates. “I voted for Jillian Balow simply because people who know her felt she would be an excellent advocate for our public schools,” said Walker, the cyclist in Big Horn. Sally Morton of Big Horn said she voted for Ceballos. “I’ve heard real good things about him and he strikes me as a very capable person, and I think he would be a very healthy change.” Wymore, of Casper also voted for Ceballos. “I went with Ceballos because I feel like even though the other one was a teacher, he had the full backing of the union of teachers, and he also seems to have a lot more business experience,” she said. “Managing a school is not only education” but making sure funds are spent efficiently, she added. Teton County went for Ceballos in his losing effort, backing him 52 percent to 40 percent. “He had the leadership traits I think will do a good job for us,” said Mary Martin, UW extension agent for five southwest counties. Jackson’s Mandy Bellorado also supported Ceballos. “I just like what he wrote,” she said. Tracy Lamb, another Teton County long-timer, also was on his side. “I voted Democratic just because Republicans have run it for a while and messed it up.” No out-of-state trustees for university The state overwhelmingly defeated proposed Constitutional Amendment A, which would have allowed up to 20 percent of the members of the board of trustees to be non-residents. Some 112,772 voted against the amendment, while 47,539 supported it. “I just think there are just too many outside influences coming into Wyoming,” said Leo Oneyear, who voted in Big Horn. “We need homegrown people for our university.” Opinion on the amendment was strongly opposed almost everywhere in the state. Some 70 percent of Wyoming voters rejected the referendum on allowing out-of-state trustees. “I guess the thing that irritates me right now, we’ve got to do better than we got from in-state,” said Roy Garber of Big Horn. “They’ve got a pretty weak board right now. … I just have a hard time believing we can’t come up with qualified people in the state of Wyoming.” Some 400 miles from the university in Laramie, Teton County was the only county on the other side of the issue, favoring the amendment 50 percent to 40 percent. Book store owner Steve Ashley didn’t see a problem with out-of-staters, “as long as it’s 20 percent,” he said, noting the limit that would have been imposed. “I thought it was a good idea,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt to get a broader point of view.” Sally Morton of Sheridan County agreed. “I can’t help but think there are very many qualified University of Wyoming alumni (who live elsewhere) that would serve well and serve the university well,” she said. “To limit it to just the state is restricting perhaps the potential good influences on the university.” Some voters in Casper saw an advantage to adding out-of-state trustees to the university. “Anytime you have an institution or something you want to compete nationally, you have to open up the resources you can use for that institution,” said Don Zimmer, of Casper. “I think that by allowing the governor to nominate a couple of people from outside the state, I think it really increases its capabilities and its abilities to attract national attention to our university.” Lyn Dalebout from Teton County was open-minded. “I just like the idea of trying something new,” she said. Jackson’s Ian Barwell didn’t vote on the amendment. “I didn’t want to vote on something I hadn’t researched.” Gov. Matt Mead (R) easily won reelection, showing that the political scrapes of his first term were not nearly enough to unseat a broadly popular Republican in one of the most conservative states in the country. Earlier this year, University of Wyoming political scientist Jim King predicted that only a major scandal could diminish Mead’s chances in the primary and general reelection, and the results of yesterday’s election bore that out. In the weeks before the election, Mead received endorsements from the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and the Casper Star-Tribune. Both papers took the opportunity to point out areas where they thought Mead had misstepped, particularly on his opposition of Medicaid expansion and same-sex marriage, and in his support of closed searches for the University of Wyoming president. The editorial boards also criticized Mead for his support of Senate File 104, which transferred nearly all the duties of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to an appointee until the state Supreme Court ruled against the law. Mead said that he appreciated the endorsements, while also taking note of the criticism. “I think it is incumbent on me and the Legislature when we see those areas of criticism to take those to heart and consider those.” WyoFile spoke with Gosar just after the polls closed Tuesday evening. “Whether you win or lose you want to stay around and see the change, see Wyoming live up to the Equality State motto, and diversify the economy. I think that needs to happen. I think people in Wyoming deserve a better shot.” The campaign taught Gosar the extreme power of the “home-field” advantage incumbents have in Wyoming, he said. He was disappointed to see the state’s two largest newspapers point out Mead’s major policy weaknesses and yet endorse him anyway. “It’s not only politics that needs to change in Wyoming.” Some voters believed Mead’s performance, if not totally to their liking, was still satisfactory. “Although I tend to disagree with Mead on some things, I still think he was the best,” said Oneyear. At the same time, voters seemed to appreciate that the state’s economy is prospering, and unemployment is low. Mead has reined in spending, and taken positions against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the federal government that sit well with many small-government conservatives. “I think Matt Mead has done a good job and I’d like to see him continue,” Boley said. Still, about 40 percent of voters cast their ballot for Mead’s challengers, Pete Gosar (D), Don Wills (I), and Dee Cozzens (L). “I voted for Gosar, the Democrat, knowing probably there was little likelihood he’ll get into the office,” said Morton in Big Horn. “But from what I’ve seen of him I think he’d make a good governor and I’ve had some disappointments with Matt Mead as governor.” Some of the positions Gosar took during his campaign reflect growing trends of public opinion across the state. A recent University of Wyoming poll found that 56 percent of respondents supported expanding Medicaid, while 36 percent opposed it, with an error margin of 4 percent. Gosar supported Medicaid expansion, and criticized Gov. Mead for only recently moving to negotiate with the Center for Medicaid services on a possible expansion plan. “If you look at the polling results from the University of Wyoming, on issues like the Medicaid expansion, once they (residents) found out the deal they couldn’t believe we didn’t expand it,” said Gosar. “The people of Wyoming are a reasonable lot and once they know the deal … they’re further ahead than the politicians.” Mead noted his appreciation for the electoral process and the efforts made by his opponents. “Our system of government requires people to step up, and you can agree or disagree with them, but our system requires participation,” Mead said. “It is not an easy thing to put your name out there and stand up for your ideas. But I am pleased for those that opposed me to step up and I encourage others to step up for future races.” As Mead crafts his supplemental budget for the 2016 fiscal year, due Dec. 1, he says the revenue outlook is good. “We are certainly going to have some available money, and we are going to be in absolutely good shape going into the supplemental (legislative session) to make some good steps with some of my priorities,” he said. Analysis of selected legislative races Democrats in the House won three seats held by Republicans. Charles Pelkey of Laramie, Andy Schwartz of Jackson, and Joann Dayton of Rock Springs beat their Republican opponents. Republicans won two seats previously held by Democrats. Jim Allen (R) beat Andrea Clifford (D) in Fremont County in the district of retiring Rep. Patrick Goggles (D), and Harlan Edmonds (R) beat Lee Filer (D) in Cheyenne. Overall, Democrats gained one seat in the Wyoming House, giving them nine seats in the next session to the 51 Republicans will hold. In the Senate the party balance remained unchanged at 26 Republicans and 4 Democrats. Social conservatives and Tea Party candidates for House held on in Natrona County and unseated a Democrat in Laramie County. Rep. Gerald Gay (R-Casper), known for his opposition to same-sex marriage, beat challenger Eric Nelson by about 170 votes. In Cheyenne, Harlan Edmonds (R), founder of the group Conservative Republicans of Wyoming (C.R.O.W.) unseated freshman legislator Rep. Lee Filer (D), who had sponsored several successful bills during his first term. Sweetwater County played host to a number of races between social conservative incumbents and Democratic challengers. In Rock Springs, Rep. Stephen Watt (R) lost his seat to JoAnn Dayton (D) while Rep. Mark Baker (R) held on by 27 votes over challenger Joe Barbuto (D). Incumbent Rep. John Freeman (D) defeated challenger Bill Hooley (R), husband to Christy Hooley, a leader in Wyoming Against the Common Core. In neighboring Uinta County, Rep. Alan Jaggi (R) and Rep. Garry Piiparinen (R) both won reelection. In Natrona County, Rep. Gerald Gay (R) bested challenger Eric Nelson to win another term. In Jackson Hole and Star Valley, Democratic candidate Natalia Macker briefly led Rep. Marti Halverson (R) with less than half of precincts reporting. However, a strong showing in Halverson’s home area of Star Valley gave her the win. In Fremont County, two Democratic candidates who are enrolled members of the Northern Arapaho lost their races. Sen Cale Case (R) earned a 1,000 vote margin to beat Sergio Maldonado (D). Case, an economist, was recently diagnosed with cancer. Jim Allen (R) beat Andrea Clifford (D) in House District 33, the seat previously held by Rep. Patrick Goggles (R-Ethete), who announced his retirement earlier this year. Allen ran unsuccessfully against Goggles in a previous election. Allen’s win this year means there will be no enrolled Tribal member serving in the Legislature in 2015-2016.

Did you know that there are 25.2 million boats in the U.S.? You must ensure your boat has everything you need to perform at its best. After all, you don’t want to be stranded on the water with a boat that isn’t up to your standards. Instead, you want to know that your boat can take you anywhere whenever you need it to. But you might be wondering: What are the best boat performance parts? And what should boat owners look for in boat upgrades? We’re here to tell you, so keep reading. Considerations Before Buying Parts When buying parts for a boat’s performance, there are many things to consider. In doing so, boat owners can ensure they have purchased the most appropriate parts for their vessel. Type and Shape of the Boat When looking for boat performance parts, it is essential to consider the type and shape of the boat. Performance parts may vary depending on the type of vessel. This includes sailboats, fishing boats, powerboats, or luxury yachts. Sailboats require different parts designed to increase performance while navigating the open waters. Powerboats would need parts optimized for speed and acceleration. Fishing boats have particular parts specifically designed for powering through ocean swells. Luxury yachts have components that create a silent, comfortable ride. Size and Power of the Engine Small boats and dinghies often use outboard motors. It provides a different set of performance parts than inboard engines. Outboard motors are typically able to be swapped out for different sizes. This will offer increased power and speed. Inboard engines can be upgraded as well. It offers a more reliable power source than many outboards. A professional mechanic can advise on the type and size of the engine best suited to the boat and the intended use. Fuel consumption should also be considered. Buying larger engines may result in more significant fuel costs. Quality parts specific to the boat engine size and power are essential for optimal performance. Regarding boat performance parts, it’s important to remember that with any purchase, there is a budget in mind. It is beneficial to research what parts are needed first before making a purchase. Many boat part manufacturers offer discount or wholesale options. Extra time to shop around can save money in the long run. Do-it-yourself boat performance parts can be an affordable option that can not only save money. It also gives you the satisfaction of taking on a task and seeing it through to completion. Boat owners should weigh their needs and budget for boat performance. Essential Parts of Boats Boat owners interested in improving boat performance should buy boat performance parts that help to enhance their boat. These essential parts help make a boat more fuel-efficient. It can even increase its speed. Propellers are one of the most critical performance parts to consider when shopping. Do your research and get the right pitch, diameter, and propeller type for your boat’s most efficient performance. Numerous propeller brands are out there, so ensure you are making an informed decision. Your choice of propeller will have a significant impact on the overall performance of your boat. If you need the best props, check some boat props found at deepblueyachtsupply.com. If you’re a boat owner who is looking to upgrade and enhance the performance of your boat, one of the things you should consider is buying boat performance parts like fuel injectors. Fuel injectors are vital components of a high-performance marine engine as they regulate fuel flow into the engine, providing efficient combustion and power. They are an excellent investment as they help optimize fuel consistency, improve fuel economy, and speed up acceleration. Air intakes are a great performance option for boat owners. Air intakes increase oxygen levels in the engine, improving engine performance and fuel economy. For most boat engines, air intakes will provide more overall airflow than a typical intake, meaning the engine will run cleaner and more relaxed, reducing stress on components. These systems come in different sizes and configurations, depending on the engine type and intended use. Installation is relatively simple but should always be handled by an experienced professional. Easy Tuning and Maintenance If you are a boat owner planning to upgrade your boat’s performance, you have many options for boat performance parts. Whether you want to increase speed, maximize fuel efficiency, or improve maneuverability, adding the correct performance parts can help you get the most out of your boat. When looking for the right parts, ease of tuning and maintenance should be a key consideration. To ensure maximum performance and minimize boat maintenance, select parts that are easy to assemble and disassemble. Look for components requiring minimal effort and few tools for boat repair so you can complete regular maintenance quickly. Additionally, consider purchasing parts designed for various water conditions so your boat can perform at its best regardless of the elements. When maximizing performance, choosing the right boat performance parts is critical. Benefits of Investing in Performance Parts When buying a boat, boat owners need to know the benefits of investing in performance parts to get the most out of their vessel. Performance parts are designed to improve the boat’s speed, efficiency, and overall performance. It allows it to perform better in various marine conditions. Investing in performance parts can provide improved fuel economy, reduced engine vibrations, and improved navigational performance, resulting in a safer and more enjoyable boating experience. Additionally, performance parts can also help reduce the noise and impact of waves, allowing for a smoother ride. By investing in the proper performance parts, boat owners can increase the value of their boats, ensuring that they get the most out of their vessels for years to come.

Ridesharing has revolutionized the transportation industry since it provides people a convenient and affordable way to get around without owning a car. However, as the popularity of ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft grows, so does the number of accidents involving these services It is these accidents that rideshare accident advocates are deeply concerned about. So if, for some reason, you find yourself involved in a rideshare accident (let’s hope you won’t), it’s important to understand your legal rights and seek proper legal assistance. The main reason is simple: this ensures you get what you deserve if you fall victim to a similar situation. What Are Rideshare Services? Ridesharing refers to transportation services that connect passengers with drivers through mobile applications. These apps allow individuals to request rides wherever they are, at any time, using mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. Drivers for these services use their vehicles to transport passengers. Understanding Liability in Rideshare Accidents Because ridesharing is still relatively new, navigating liability in cases of accidents can be tricky. In general, however, determining Insurance coverage depends on timing; whether the driver was working for a service or not during an accident affects which party is responsible for payment: - When a Driver is Not Logged into the App – Ride-sharing companies provide no coverage when drivers crash, and personal cars aren’t available for work purposes, thus essentially as regular vehicles. - When A Driver Is Available On The App But Hasn’t Accepted Ride Request- Most ride-sharing providers currently provide limited coverage. - When A Driver Accepts or Picks Up Passengers-Admittedly, it’s during this period that both Uber and Lyft’s insurance policies offer full coverage ($1 million liability per incident). However, there may be other complications based on negligence by parties, such as road conditions or customers’ behavior in some situations. It’s important to always consult with an experienced car accident attorney who can guide you through the process thoroughly. What To Do After A Rideshare Accident If you are involved in a rideshare accident after requesting or riding on one of these services, the steps you take afterward are critical. Consider the following tips: - Seek Medical Attention Immediately – Your health and safety should be your top priority after an accident. Even if you don’t feel symptoms, see a doctor immediately to prevent potential long-term complications. - Document Everything – Collect evidence at the accident scene; this generally includes taking pictures of the vehicles and any injuries you sustained during the incident before cleaning up or transporting them from the site—photos of other crucial factors like road conditions or lighting help establish liability better when showing legal negligence. - Contact Law Enforcement – Taking prompt action is crucial to protect yourself legally later on in case a conflict arises with other parties involved. - Avoid Making Admissions Of Fault- In any accident thread, all people involved must avoid admitting fault (it can negatively impact insurance claims). - Consult With An Attorney – Seeking guidance from attorneys is recommended for dealing with personal injury cases involving ridesharing service accidents; remember that pursuing compensation against large companies like Lyft and Uber requires experience and skill in navigating through their complex insurance systems, which may offer minimal coverage whenever possible. In conclusion, rideshare accidents continue to rise with commuters’ daily use of such services. Understanding liability issues surrounding these incidents remains paramount when dealing with their complicated insurance policies revolving around drivers’ “personal vehicle” categories or being “on duty.”. Being well-informed about navigating legal proceedings beyond submitting an online but complex report follows municipal traffic rules and certain company policies that differ by location worldwide, which verifies just how promptly one needs expert advice from reputable attorneys after getting into incidents involving these innovative transportation alternatives. These types of vehicles have been game-changers both for individual mobility as well public transport policy development nationally or internationally; however, since primarily protecting profit lies at companies’ cores rather than customers’ protection, knowing quite adequately one’s legal rights whenever involved in any Transportation Network Company (TNC) incident is essential.

Unfortunately, disagreements happen throughout your life, and whilst most of the time they can be resolved quite easily. This is not always the case. Sometimes they spiral out of control, and you may need to contact legal services in order to rectify them. It can be difficult for you to know when to contact a lawyer because it sometimes feels like you don’t want to bother with such a formal process for a minor thing. However, there are times when there are no other options. Here are a few cases when it may be best to contact a lawyer. When buying a home There are plenty of times when contacting a lawyer can be scary, but this is one of the few times that it should be easy. It is really important that you get a lawyer when you are purchasing a new home. That is because they will be able to ensure that the agreement is legally binding, you are not signing for anything that you don’t know about, and that the home is everything that it claims to be. It’s also important when purchasing a home to have the right tech. Lawyers can help you assess the property and make sure all of the land rights are going to be transferred to you. Anything that involves handcuffs If you have been involved in an incident such as domestic violence or driving under the influence. Or if you have been accused of a white-collar crime like tax fraud, then you should immediately phone your lawyer. They will be able to give you advice on what you should do when you should talk to the police and what you can say to them. You should look for a lawyer that can speak well as they will be representing you in any court proceedings as well. You have been hurt in an accident This can cover a wide variety of issues. It may be that you have bought a home and are now suffering from asthma because of undisclosed mold. Or that you were in the workplace, and someone spilled a slippery liquid and you have fallen on it, not only causing you physical harm but now having to take time off work as well. All of these incidents can be resolved with the help of a lawyer. They will be able to assess if you have a case or if it is better off letting it go. Getting a divorce Dividing assets between two people and getting a divorce is a tough one for anyone to go through. You may want to get a lawyer who can ensure everything is done fairly and amicably. It is sometimes better if each party has a lawyer so that neither feels like they are being cheated. You don’t want to walk away feeling like you are owed something. Contacting a lawyer This is likely to be a stressful time, but it is worth remembering that this is what lawyers are for. If you are unsure whether you need to contact one, then you should do it anyway. Many lawyers offer a free consultation first and so the only person’s time you are wasting is your own.

The point of machine learning is to get a model into production. A machine learning model is simply the result of feeding data into an algorithm to enable that algorithm to make predictions about what will happen in the future. Model training involves giving meaning to data and then using an algorithm to get meaning from that data. The ML model training process is quite intricate, meaning that there are plenty of ways that things can go around. Training machine learning models is a major piece of the puzzle in building these types of programs. They have a significant effect on what happens in your program. Model training is the most important part of the data science development lifecycle. This is where the rubber truly meets the road. If you can train a machine learning model successfully, you can be confident that it will be quite useful in the future. Why Is Model Training Important You cannot get anywhere in machine learning without effective model training. The quality of your machine learning model depends on how well it is trained. On top of that, the training phase must be repeated multiple times before it can be effective. You don’t just do the model training process once. It is something you continually do to improve the results you get from everything. It also allows you to figure out whether your intuition about which algorithm to choose was correct or not. This gives a lot of people the information they need to get effective results. It will also be one of the best parts of building a machine learning model. How to Do Machine Learning Model Training Well There is a systematic way to do machine learning model training well. It allows you to utilize all your available resources, meaning you can be confident in your results. The first step is to identify the problem you are trying to solve. This is typically a stage that many businesses fail at. They focus on how great building a machine learning model is instead of actually solving a problem. ML model training means nothing if you don’t end up solving a real problem for your business. The next step is to split the data set and select algorithms to test. Data is the most important part of the puzzle in the training process. The quality of your results will depend on how good your data is. The next part of that puzzle is choosing an algorithm to test. The algorithms you use will depend on how good your data is. Model training on bad data or algorithms will result in bad things for your program. You also have the opportunity to tune your parameters and your model. There are various awesome algorithms to choose which will depend on the monitoring process you go through and what you are trying to achieve. Either way, this part of the data science development lifecycle is where a lot of people can stumble as well. Optimizing and Making Your Model Better Ultimately, you also need to focus on choosing the best model. The model training process will probably lead to multiple different models for you to put into your application. The key is to choose the machine learning model that is the most accurate. You also want to have practical considerations of the deployment stage as well. This gives you awesome results that can boost your business. Otherwise, you might be one of the many statistics about failed machine learning initiatives.

“Diverse-by-Design” Crosstown High in Memphis Graduates Its First Class Since it opened its doors in 2018, Crosstown High pushed the boundaries of rethinking high… Since it opened its doors in 2018, Crosstown High pushed the boundaries of rethinking high school. Its founders envisioned a space that was diverse by design, where project-based learning would help students from across Memphis feel more engaged in their education, and where the classroom would feel more connected to the community. Now, as the first graduates of Crosstown leave the school with a unique understanding of how to face the challenges of the world, empowered to find solutions, it seems the school realized its vision. Diversity by Design School segregation in Memphis has only increased in the past 50 years, according to an analysis by Chalkbeat. As a 2020 brief from the Economic Policy Institute shows, segregated schools lower educational outcomes for Black students and widens the performance gap between Black and white students. In 2017, a little more than half of Memphis schools were highly segregated, with white students making up only 7 percent of the student body. That inequity led to slashed budgets, school closures, and hundreds of teacher layoffs. To create a school that truly mirrors the diversity of the city and stem the tide of segregation, Crosstown recruited students from a large cross-section of the city. The student population at Crosstown in the 2021-22 school year was 55 percent Black, 31 percent white, six percent Latino, six percent identifying as two or more races, and two percent “other.” Moreover, students and educators at Crosstown benefit from the varied perspectives everyone brings to the collaborative environment. But the first group of ninth graders—now the school’s first graduates—laid the foundation. The Results Show If the first graduating class marks the beginning of a trend, Crosstown will be setting students up for success. Preliminary data show that a full 97 percent of 2022 Crosstown seniors graduated on time. Typically, just 78 percent of Shelby County Public Schools students graduate in four years. Additionally, 84 percent of Crosstown graduates plan to attend a four-year college or university or community college. By contrast, just about 46 percent of Shelby County graduates typically attend either a two- or four-year college. But beyond the statistics, Crosstown creates an environment that inspires students to reflect, grow, and change as life-long learners and collaborators. “I realized in my past four years that learning isn’t just English, math, science, and history,” explains Crosstown graduate Ava. “It really is learning about yourself and learning about how you interact with everyone else in the environment around you.” This attitude around growth and learning will stay with Ava and her fellow Crosstown grads as they head all over the country next year, from Northeastern University to the University of Southern California. “They really exceeded our wildest expectations in terms of where they are heading next and what they will be doing,” reflects Crosstown co-founder Ginger Spickler. In all, the school’s class of 2022 received over $10 million in scholarships, including full rides to Howard University, Rhodes College, and Morehead State University. Community is the Classroom With the success of its first graduating class, we can ask and begin to see how Crosstown created an environment where all students learned to thrive. Located on the fourth and fifth floors of the Crosstown Concourse, students share the space with an assortment of businesses, arts organizations, health care providers, a YMCA, a credit union, and a dentist’s office. It’s a fitting space for a school that erases the line between community and classroom. “From the beginning, community partnerships have been important to the work of students and staff,” explains Spickler. “Project-based learning isn’t that powerful if it’s not connecting to the world outside our doors. Learning is more powerful if they see how it connects.” Crosstown requires a capstone class for each grade. Students spend months working on topics of their choice, which helps them see how their learning aligns with their personal goals and the real world. Chris Terrill, Crosstown co-founder and executive director, said partnerships permeate every aspect of Crosstown, during and after the school day. “One day I came in, and one of our congressmen was in the building because my government teacher had invited him to speak,” Terrill recalls. “We had multiple attorneys in the building, whether for civics work or government class. Many of our students had internships or jobs with business in the concourse.” For instance, Vera, a Crosstown senior, worked with the Crosstown Arts Theater nonprofit to stage the school’s first musical. Vera worked to get the rights to “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” conducted casting, marketed the musical, and starred in the production. “It was so cool to learn how to build connections with people doing something I could do in the future as a career path, and getting to design solutions and trying to figure out how to get things done when not everything could be done exactly as I wanted it,” explains Vera. Another group of students partnered with a local seamstress to research the link between fashion and the environment. Together they worked to create a line of disposable clothes as well as a magazine to share the benefits of reusing fabric. Why Mission and Vision Matter The success of the school, however, doesn’t mean Crosstown did not confront challenges. From adapting community partnerships for the COVID-19 pandemic, to the growing pains of welcoming new students and staff for its first years, the school learned a number of lessons. One of those is the importance of keeping their mission and vision front and center in everything they do. “I think the hardest thing is that when you’re adding a grade every year, you’re having to hire a whole new set of teachers,” says Spickler. “One of the biggest challenges was continuing to be really clear about why we were founded, what we’re trying to accomplish, and making sure we’re keeping our mission and vision central to our work.” In addition to creating a diverse environment, another central pillar behind the philosophy of Crosstown is taking student voices seriously, and that goal has been reflected in the evolution of the school over the last four years. “They were such an integral part of our story for the first four years of our existence,” says Spickler. “They felt like co-workers in some way, and we felt strongly that they were building the school with us, and we valued their opinions and felt like they truly were co-creators of this school.” “They made sure that all students were heard and that we had a say in everything we did,” said graduate Angell. One important way that student voice has shaped Crosstown is the school’s approach to discipline. “The last thing we want to do is suspend students,” said Terrill. “We want to get to the root of the problem, which often doesn’t involve school.” Staffers say Crosstown’s restorative justice approach leads to deep relationships between students, teachers, and administrators, and a better understanding of adolescents than through punitive actions. “In that regard students feel at ease when they come through the door, knowing they will be treated fairly,” Terrill added, calling the deep sense of belonging students feel towards Crosstown the “secret sauce” of the school’s success. What’s Next for Crosstown High After the success of its first four years, Crosstown is looking ahead—though former students will continue to have a voice in the school’s development. The school will welcome back alums next year to mentor current students and talk about their college experiences. Alums will also meet with staff members to share how they were and weren’t prepared for life after Crosstown. And the school will turn its gaze beyond Memphis. Terrill is planning a year-long fellowship sabbatical, traveling the world to visit other innovative high schools to bring ideas back for Crosstown and other XQ Schools. Meanwhile, Spickler is excited for the school to launch an official professional development program, formally inviting school leaders from around the country to Crosstown. She said this is how they can contribute to transforming high schools across the country. “It’s not just about creating a handful of innovative schools, but creating a movement to change what high school looks like nationwide,” she explains. “And so we feel like we’re asking the right questions and we learned some hard lessons along the way that we think can help other folks avoid.” Read more about Crosstown High and how it’s transforming high school; how its students experience innovative schooling; how Crosstown is changing education through a vertical urban village; and influencing other schools around the country.

You’re trying to prioritize your health. You’re doing your best to follow all of the guidelines to eat mostly plants, eat the rainbow, and fuel for a lifetime of health and nourishment. However, it's easy to become distracted by business and marketing tactics. As you walk through the store, you see the following buzzwords that serve as a magnetic force, leading you to think that a food product is healthy: “all-natural”, “non-gmo”, “fresh never frozen”, “all organic”, “no added sugars”, “zero sugar”, “vegan”, “keto”, “low fat”, “gluten free”, the list goes on. While these products may be healthier than others, just because they are "organic", "vegan", or "sugar free" doesn't necessarily mean they're healthy. Marketing teams all over the world are responsible for formulating the perfect packaging and buzz word labeling to attract YOU: The health conscious consumer. Often times, it doesn’t matter if their product is healthy or not – what matters to these companies is whether you buy the product. So, what do you do? To avoid falling prey to the marketing tactics on the front of the package, we recommend turning the package over and reading the nutrition label – especially the ingredient list. Often times, there will be an abundance of unnecessary ingredients, including excess salt and refined sugar, as well as preservatives and artificial flavors. Where to focus: - Ingredients: Do you recognize them? Can you pronounce them? Rule of thumb is: if you don't recognize the ingredients, your body likely won't either. It's also important to look out for and avoid refined sugars and seed-based oils. To learn more about how refined sugars and seed-based oils affect your body and mind, read our 6 Pillars of Nutrition. - Fat types: It's best to avoid trans fat, limit saturated fats as much as possible, and focus on consuming essential polyunsaturated fats found in natural fat sources like olive oil, coconut oil, nuts and seeds. Click here to learn the difference between Saturated and Unsaturated Fats. - Sodium Content: High sodium content will often trigger cravings and cause bloating, so aim to consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Not all salts are created equally – our go-to is pink himalayan salt. As you may remember from our previous post, Grocery Shopping 101, we prioritize the outside aisles of the store to purchase fresh produce and bulk foods – that is, whole, unprocessed foods, which don't have have nutrition labels. That said, on a plant-based diet, you won’t need read nutrition labels as often. We call that a win-win! Did you know there is a new nutrition label? The new label is making it much easier to identify suggested serving sizes and nutrient contents. These requirements were triggered by research that linked diet and chronic disease, indicating the need to make consumers more informed about nutritional information. While reading nutrition labels is important – ultimately, focusing on the quality of the food you're eating is what will take your relationship with food from that of a “diet” to a lifestyle. So, when considering which packaged goods to purchase, remember to prioritize the ingredients, stay away from unnecessary refined sugars and salts, and learn the difference between good and bad fats. By staying informed, you're already on your way to better health!

With eyes focused on the instant, it feels like a water torture of failure to endure the process of change that requires seasons to unfold. For those of us who have imbibed an endless stream of gleaming white toothed corporate casual models leaping at the prospect of success from the pages of airline magazine, the slow grind of actual life seems like a broken promise. And yet, this is where our dreams actually unfold. This is where we do the work that transfers our vision into being. The Taiwanese burn ghost money in a prayer of hope and wish for celestial intervention. In the West, we too burn our ghost money to the gods from which we seek favor. They go by different names, and we don’t incinerate piles of flower folded spirit currency. Yet, we too have our ways of trying to strike a deal with the Universe, of currying favor that might rain down from heaven the gifts we seek. A curious habit that one is, the seeking of divine intervention. Because oddly enough it is our own deciding to intervene in our lives that tends to bring the most change. And it is not about some hopeful future or wish-it-were-different past, but from a deep and content sense of inhabiting the present.

The Zionsville Police Dept. is joining 17 other law enforcement agencies across the state in a program to assist people with cognitive disabilities. An AWARE sticker lets first responders know they might be dealing with a person with a cognitive disability or medical-related impairments who might react differently in the case of an emergency. People are asked to put the sticker in the rear window of their vehicle or by the front door of a residence to alert first responders. The AWARE program was created in 2021 by the Avon Police Dept. in partnership with the Central Indiana Police Foundation, which helps fund the stickers for the program. ZPD is the first police department in Boone County to join the initiative. “It was a no-brainer that we need to help bring this program over to Boone County and over to Zionsville,” ZPD Capt. Drake Sterling said. ZPD officers already must complete a 40-hour crisis intervention training class, where they learn how to best deescalate a situation based on a person’s disability or other needs. “This AWARE program, with the sticker that we put on the cars or put on the houses, it makes our officers aware immediately before they even approach that person that, ‘I might be dealing with somebody who has a learning disability,’” Sterling said. “It can help them put their guard down a little bit and, you know, flex their communication style so that they’re effective, and so they can deescalate any tension that might come.” To get a sticker, complete a form at static1.squarespace.com/static/611b172fd7b67d4af94ac6f4/t/6179637c45571d6662bbc07b/1635345276419/Medical+Professional+Referral.pdf. The form requires a signature from a medical provider and must be submitted by mail or in person to the ZPD, 1075 Parkway Dr.

How to Explain the Greenhouse Effect to Children Children will be the ones responsible for looking after our planet in the future. This is a vital task that requires the right knowledge and tools. For this reason, it’s so important to explain to them what the greenhouse effect is from an early age. In this way, they’ll grow up already aware of the situation. However, it’s not an easy concept to explain. You’ll have to find a simple way to get the message across, in order for them to understand it easily. The use of games or stories can be a great resource here. We’ll now look at some ways that can help you to explain the greenhouse effect to children. The greenhouse effect in simple words To explain to little children what the greenhouse effect is, it’s best to use real-life examples. You can explain to them that every time they shower or turn on the light, they need energy. That energy is obtained by burning some type of fuel such as gas, coal, or oil. By burning those substances, we send a huge amount of gases into the layer of air that surrounds the Earth (the atmosphere). These gases accumulate in the atmosphere and don’t allow the heat to escape into space. For that reason, the Earth’s temperature is rising. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. Experts have chosen the term “greenhouse” because it’s the same effect as when you build this type of shelter to protect your plants from the winter cold. It’s also important to explain to the children that having a shower or turning on the light are only a very small part of the things that cause this accumulation of gases. Gases from cars and factories, for example, are other areas that produce these gases. To finish off the explanation of the greenhouse effect, we need to explain why rising temperatures are bad news for our planet. You can explain to them that this excess heat causes the ice on the Earth’s poles to melt. As a result, sea levels are rising, and this can cause flooding. It may also cause more extreme weather, including storms. This is what we know as global warming, or climate change. It’s important for children to feel involved Once you’ve explained to the children what the greenhouse effect is and why it’s so harmful to the planet, you’ll then need to tell them that there are some things they can do to help. This way they’ll feel involved, and that will, hopefully, motivate them to take action and to involve their families too. Like adults, children can also do many things to help reduce the greenhouse effect. One of the secrets, as we’ve mentioned before, is to save energy and respect nature. There are some very simple things that children can do. One of them is to go to school by bus and not by car. That way, a single vehicle will transport several children instead of each of them traveling in their own car. Car sharing is another good option here. Another step that children can take is to have a shower instead of a bath, and to do it as quickly as possible in order to consume less gas or electricity. Another very simple gesture that will also help to reduce the greenhouse effect is for them to turn off the lights and TV when they’re not using them. And, of course, from childhood, you need to teach them the importance of recycling. They need to understand how these items can have a second (or third) life. Stories: a great resource To help parents and teachers in the task of explaining the greenhouse effect to children, there are also several stories that can be very useful. These books have been specially created to address the problem in an easy and didactic way so that children can understand the concept and feel involved. Here are three great books to get you started: - The first one is The Problem of the Hot World by Pam Bonsper. This is a great book that tells children about the dangers of climate change using animals and attractive illustrations. - The second is The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. Well before we knew the term “climate change,” Dr. Seuss was alerting us about the dangers to the environment, and what we can do to look after our planet better. - The third one is The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge, by Joanna Cole. This is written in simple terms and explains clearly in a story format how we can make a change. In short, explaining to children what the greenhouse effect is can be complicated, but not impossible. It’s all about raising awareness in our children about the need to take care of our planet, as this will result in great benefits for future generations.It might interest you...

Thinking about a naming celebration? Bringing a child into the world is probably one of if not the biggest occasions and commitments we can make in life and it is something that is genuinely cause for celebration in my book. Welcome to the World celebrations or non-religious Naming ceremonies are becoming more popular as an alternative to a religious christening or baptism, yet, compared to the number of people who celebrate a marriage with a wedding, they are certainly not as numerous. If you’re thinking that when you’ve just had a baby that the last thing you want to do is organise a party or celebration, I hear you! However, there is no time limit on a Naming, it can be done whenever it works best for you as a family and combining with a birthday celebration or for multiple siblings in more of a family commitment ceremony can be a great way to minimise the party planning. "Celebrate and welcome new life*" So what is a Naming ceremony? Think a non-religious version of a christening, a chance to celebrate and welcome new life* into the world, community or family. Becoming parents is a huge life event, up there if not more of a commitment than marriage yet so few people mark this occasion. Both marriages and births require legal registering but why is it only the marriages that get the celebration and party? I believe that this is, in part, because people don’t realise that there is an alternative to a religious christening or baptism ceremony. A Naming ceremony is centred around the child and the hopes that their parents or guardians have for the life ahead of them. It is an opportunity to say words of familial love that often go unspoken and to officially appoint special people (these are often known as guideparents but you can use whichever names you wish) who will help and support the child as they grow up. These can often be from outside the family unit and this an opportunity to build or reinforce a connection that will last a lifetime. You might be thinking ‘Helen, we’ve just had a baby the last thing we want to do is plan a party!’ To which I say, there is no expiry date on a Naming! Many parents like to combine it with the first birthday party (less party planning and cost vs separate ceremonies). Equally a child can be any age so please don’t think if you have a toddler or older child that you have ‘missed the boat’. And for teens and pre-teens the ceremony can take more of the form of a ‘coming of age’ particularly great for those that may not be religious themselves but have Jewish or Catholic backgrounds or families. Each ceremony, like all Humanist ceremonies, is completely unique and personal, the result of time spent with you as a family and completely led by what they want for your ceremony and your celebration. You may want to include messages, letters or suggestions in a keepsake box, blow bubbles, do a cake smash or get your guests involved in creating a unique piece of art. Some suggestions of these can be seen below. *new life doesn’t necessarily mean birth of a child. Additional causes for celebration are adoptions, coming out, gender affirmation, blending of families as well as coming of age celebrations similar to a Quincera or Bar/ Bat Mitzvah.

Dear tHRive Membership, Welcome to 2021…we’re excited to see you soon! 2020 was far from the year that we all had planned, this includes the goals of tHRive. Most of our plans switched to handling the COVID-19, and due to the nature of our in person events, a lot of our plans had to adjust. During these times many of us had to put our work and family effort to the forefront, which created a difficult scenario for tHRive to execute many 2020 goals. The board and our committees have started planning for a renewed 2021 and are very excited to getting back and delivering on tHRive’s core principles of professional development, creating strong relationships, and community engagement. tHRive did have some successes in 2020 and started out strong with a great financial event hosted by our Diamond Partner, ABNB Federal Credit Union. We also continued our regular table for tens and even hosted a few virtual events. We hope we can get back to some of those events tHRive has been known for, but in the meantime we plan to get a bit creative with our programming. Our fundraising and volunteering efforts still continued throughout the pandemic, and we ended up raising almost $2,600 for our organization of the year, and contributed 20 hours of volunteer hours. We thank all of our members that have assisted in those efforts. Due to the interrupted efforts of 2020, we have decided to continue to support Samaritan House as our organization of the year for 2021! One of our first acts in 2021 is to reach out to you, our members, to make sure our plans aligns with our members’ goals. Please let us know what we am do well and what we could do better. If you have any ideas on things tHRive could do, please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected], and please take time to complete the brief survey below that will help us develop programming for this year. On top of all the excitement for what 2021 will bring, I am very excited to take on the position of the chairman of the board of tHRive. I thank our previous chair Daniel Sileo for all his efforts for tHRive. I take on this responsibility knowing that I have a strong and energized board around me to recalibrate tHRive for the business environment of 2021 and beyond. We hope to continue to grow on what tHRive has done well and use tHRive as a conduit to make an impact on issues that are important to The 757 young professional community. Thank you all for continuing to support tHRive, making it one of the premier young professional organizations around! At your service,

Still no dining out, we ordered from COLLIN’S grilled chicken chop, and here is our food review. Amazingly tender chicken thigh, charred and grilled to perfection. This is how chicken chops should be done, crispy tasty skin, with tenderlicious yet packs a bite to every mouthful. It was definitely pleasantly salty, which is how proteins should be treated. Corn was juicy, and carried a subtle saltish and sweet taste, not overtly cooked. Aglio olio was sadly way too dry, perhaps due to delivery time, and taste was begging for more flavour. Greens were fresh and crunchy, with sweet sourish vinaigrette dressing. Finally, COLLIN’S lovely truffle mushroom soup, made with button mushrooms, truffle oil, fresh cream and croutons (these were in their menu description). A note thought that croutons should be packed separately instead of them them swimming in the soup all the way during delivery. Together with their signature roasted BBQ ribs (1/2 slab) as one of their special of the day, it cost $22.42, which is definitely worth it compared to dining in. Tasty, yummilicious, and filling, great for working from home. ^^

“I think next week we’ll have more to say about our preparation and some of the things we are going to be doing,” Mayorkas told reporters at DHS headquarters in Washington. The large number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border remains a political liability for President Biden ahead of his potential bid for reelection in 2024, presenting his administration with immediate logistical challenges. Administration officials are eager to avoid a replay of the images in September 2021, when a mass crossing by Haitian migrants into Del Rio, Tex., overwhelmed U.S. authorities and resulted in chaos. Troy Miller, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told lawmakers Wednesday that he is bracing for illegal crossings to double to more than 10,000 per day after May 11, the date the Biden administration picked to end the emergency health restrictions known as Title 42. The policy allows authorities to quickly expel migrants back to Mexico or their home countries without providing them the opportunity to seek asylum. “We’re certainly going to see numbers higher than we’re seeing today,” Miller said during a House subcommittee budget hearing. Miller cited U.N. estimates that more than 660,000 migrants are in Mexico. That includes at least 200,000 Haitians and Venezuelans — groups that have been coming to the United States in record numbers since Biden took office. Since March 2020, DHS has leaned on the Title 42 policy as its primary enforcement tool, expelling more than 2 million migrants back to Mexico or their home countries. But Biden officials face pressure from immigrant advocates and some Democrats calling for an end to the policy they view as a carry-over from the Trump administration’s harsher approach. DHS officials further blame the Title 42 policy for encouraging repeat illegal crossing attempts because migrants don’t face the threat of federal prosecution and jail time that they would under standard immigration rules. Lifting Title 42, Biden officials say, is key to restoring the legal consequences they need to deter illegal entries. Previous attempts by the Biden administration to lift Title 42 have been blocked in federal court by Republican state officials who argued that their budgets would be strained by a major influx of newcomers needing medical care, schooling and other public services. Biden officials say they now have a clear path to end Title 42 because the president has lifted the coronavirus public health emergency that formed the underlying basis for the border restrictions. Barring a last-minute court ruling, the policy will expire on May 11. “Biden ending Title 42 next month will cause an even greater spike in record-high illegal border crossings,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote on Twitter on Thursday, saying he was sending “specialized units” to the border, including the El Paso area where crossings have rebounded sharply in recent weeks. “Texas will use every available tool to secure our border,” Abbott wrote. Miller, the acting CBP commissioner, said officials will attempt to tamp down the surge with “enhanced expedited removal” — a fast-track deportation process for those who don’t qualify for humanitarian refuge. But, he cautioned, “it will take time” for deportations to have a deterrent effect. The Biden administration has a new enforcement tool that it’s preparing to wield: new measures making it easier for the government to deport migrants making asylum claims. Migrants who cross the border illegally or fail to apply for protection in other countries they cross on their way to the U.S. border would face a presumption of being ineligible for asylum, according to the proposed rule. Mayorkas said the administration was still evaluating public comments about the proposed rule but that he expected it to take effect before May 11. He also said the Biden administration has yet to decide whether to resume detaining migrant parents and children who arrive as part of a family group — a practice DHS ended in 2021. Mayorkas and other Biden officials say they are working with other nations in the region to manage migration at a time of mass displacement. Mayorkas recently traveled to Panama, and CBP officials have been deployed to work alongside Panamanian and Colombia security forces on a 60-day campaign that will try to stop migrants from trekking a notorious jungle trail through the Darien Gap. Biden officials have discussed establishing processing centers in Guatemala and Colombia for asylum seekers, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations. Administration officials have pledged to boost refugee processing for Central and South American applicants. “It is very important to build lawful pathways for individuals to be able to access humanitarian relief in the United States so that they do not need to take the dangerous journey to the United States,” Mayorkas said, describing the administration’s general approach. “Our model is to build lawful pathways and then to impose the consequences that the law provides on those who do not avail themselves of those pathways.” Mayorkas appeared before lawmakers Tuesday and Wednesday during acrimonious committee hearings where GOP members angrily denounced the secretary in personal terms and threatened to seek his impeachment. Republicans have little chance of removing him because they would need a two-thirds majority in the Senate, which Democrats control. GOP members appeared to launch a new line of attack against Mayorkas by citing recent reports that thousands of underage migrants who have arrived without parents during Biden’s tenure are working low-wage jobs at meatpacking plants, farms and construction sites. Unaccompanied minors have arrived in record numbers since Biden exempted them from the Title 42 restrictions. The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for making sure they are released to family members or a vetted sponsor. Mayorkas said that he has ordered the formation of a new task force aimed at preventing labor exploitation of minors, and that stopping exploitation would become a new core mission of the department, which was created in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Maria Sacchetti contributed to this report.

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is one of Vietnam’s largest and most famous cities with tourists flocking in from all around the world. Some of its most famous locations include the Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, The Independence Palace, and its nearby beaches. In recent years, the gentrified Book Street and Walking Street have captivated the attention of not only tourists but also many young Vietnamese. The growth of tourism in the city encourages the increase of food and retail businesses. Unfortunately, many of them haven’t been noticed due to their discreet locations. During my recent trip to Vietnam, I was able to discover some unique restaurants with great food, exciting features, that I believe are true hidden gems in the heart of HCMC. Despite the restaurant’s classic appearance, Gummy has served more modern fare that combines Western and Vietnamese cuisines. The restaurant’s speciality – chicken steak – comes in many renditions with different sauces and sides. My favourite was the cheesy chicken steak. Other dishes such as spaghetti, potato dishes, salad, and desserts are also delicious. With regards to serving sizes, the food arrives in Vietnamese portions and can be enjoyed individually or shared among two people. My sister and her friends discovered this lovely restaurant when they were in high school. Located on the second and third floors of an old apartment building, Gummy is hidden from the noisy and hectic lifestyle of HCMC. The restaurant is a perfect hideaway for those who enjoy the quietness and beautiful views of the city from afar. Gummy’s furniture and decoration are as unique as its location; they are antique objects and recycled items. The tables, for example, used to be sewing machine stands with the pedal foot and other mechanisms still attached while the menus are labels of antique wine bottles. Even the flooring is Marrakesh ceramic tiles that were commonly used in Vietnamese houses from the late 1900s to early 2000s. Gummy: 99/103B Võ Văn Tần Street, Ward 6, District 3, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam Located in a tiny alley intersecting with Hai Bà Trưng Street, Mitau attracts food explorers and long-term customers. My family learned of Mitau Restaurant because the owner is my mother’s former schoolteacher and it really is special. Near the entrance of the restaurant are several Western instruments including a piano, guitars, a record player, and a saxophone. The restaurant itself is inside a two-storey Vietnamese-style house with white granite floors and wooden furniture. The restaurant’s menu features regional cuisine from Huế, the old capital of the dynasty era. Huế cuisine mainly consists of pastries called Bánh Huế that are made from steamed sticky rice flour. Huế dishes are bite-size, savoury, filling, and perfect for sharing. However, what sets Mitau apart is its homemade speciality – mứt. Mứt is a type of sweet made from dried fruits. Mitau is famous for soursop mứt and sugared ginger. It’d be a waste to visit Mitau and not get a few packs of mứt and ginger; they’re great treats because they’re healthier than regular candies. They’re also perfect gifts for family and friends. Mitau Restaurant: 30/2 Hai Bà Trưng Street, Bến Nghé, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam Although located inside one of the most famous buildings in HCMC, Pizza 4P’S is still very underrated for what it offers. The first time I visited Pizza 4P’s was at random as my friends and I couldn’t decide on what to eat. Although the restaurant was bustling, we still managed to get a corner table with a beautiful view of the city’s landscape. The philosophy behind Pizza 4P’s name and business is special. Its name represents the four passions that make the company unique: the homemade cheese, the farm-to-table experience, the design of the restaurant and food, and the spirit of Japanese hospitality. 4P’s is also short for ‘Four Peace’, representing the restaurant’s goals, which is creating a luxurious and elegant dining experience for their customers while contributing to a clean, minimum-waste environment. More information about Pizza 4P’s, their farm, and events are available on their website. The restaurant’s speciality is Japanese-style pizza, but they also have other delectable items such as pasta, salad, and a cocktail menu. At Pizza 4P’s, a three-course, sharable dinner with drinks cost roughly 800,000 VND (approximately USD35). Compared to how much a similar restaurant in the US costs, an experience at Pizza 4P’s is a steal! Pizza 4P’s Saigon Centre: 01-02, 6th Floor, Saigon Centre Shopping Mall, 65 Lê Lợi Street, Bến Nghé, District 1, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam With the rapid growth of tourism in Vietnam, there will be more new exciting locations for visitors to explore and enjoy. My dad always says, “You don’t need anything when you visit Vietnam; you only need money.” His statement may be an exaggeration, but Vietnam is indeed an affordable place to visit and spend your vacation. Most things in Vietnam cost less than in other countries, which makes it rank high among the most popular destinations for tourism. The next time you travel to HCMC, stop by these restaurants to enjoy unique dining experiences.

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has noted the recent overwhelming call in the Jordanian parliament for the release from prison of Musa Mustafa Daqamseh, the Jordanian soldier who in 1997 went on a rampage and murdered seven Israeli schoolgirls. The Jordanian parliament’s lower house, which has 120 legislators, produced an overwhelming 110 votes in favor of Daqamseh’s release. Daqamseh was sentenced to 25 years in prison but many in Jordan have resented the sentence on this Jew-killer and demanded his release. This includes Hussein Mjali, Jordan’s former justice minister, who has referred to Daqamseh as a “hero” and, two years, took it upon himself to agitate publicly for his early release. Mjali has said that “if a Jew killed Arabs they would have built a monument in his honor” (Rois Kais, ‘Jordanian parliament demands release of Naharayim shooter,’ Yediot Ahronot, April 12, 2013). In February 2011, Mjali has also called Israel a “terrorist state that will be destroyed” in an interview with Jordanian newspaper Al-Arab Al-Yom (Jack Khoury, ‘Jordan justice minister: Israel is a terrorist state,’ Haaretz, February 16, 2011). At the time of Mjali’s statement, Merav Horsandi, Israeli embassy spokeswoman in Amman, said, it “is difficult for us to comprehend how there are people who support the release of a cold-blooded murderer of young children” (‘Jordan minister rallies for killer of Israelis,’ Yediot Ahronot, February 14, 2011). As Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz has observed, Daqamseh “expressed pride in his mass murder, was convicted of these crimes but spared the death penalty, despite the fact that Jordan executes large numbers of criminals for relatively trivial offenses.” Daqamseh’s mother has said, “I am proud of my son and I hold my head high. My son did a heroic deed and has pleased Allah and his own conscience. My son lifts my head and the head of the entire Arab and Islamic nation. I am proud of any Muslim who does what Ahmed did.” And Daqamseh himself says that “I have no regrets … The only thing I am angry about is the gun, which did not work properly. Otherwise, I would have killed all of the [children]” (Alan Dershowitz, ‘As Israelis Mourn, Jordanians Glorify,’ Gatestone Institute, April 15, 2013). ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, “The clamor in Jordan for the early release of Daqamseh is highly significant. It shows that even in a country with which Israel has signed peace, the population, including senior government ministers, regard this Jew-slayer as a hero and want him set free. For them, murdering Jewish children is not a crime, but a valorous act. “Bear in mind the Israeli/Jordanian peace treaty was the easiest one to conclude. There were no territorial issues between the two sides, the late King Hussein having previously renounced claims to Judea and Samaria. In fact, the peace treaty only gave Jordan advantages – water from Israel and an agreement on Jordanian custodianship of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. Nothing had to be given up, except the intent to destroy Israel. This is what infuriates Hussein Mjali and what would appear to be most Jordanians. “Majli’s statement that Israel would build a shrine to an Arab-killer is both untrue and a classic case of projection. It is Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority (PA), which glorifies Jew-killers and names schools, streets, sports teams, tournaments and youth camps after terrorists. “It is also significant that, only yesterday, following what appears to be the bombing by a terrorist or terrorists of the Boston marathon, a Jordanian Islamist extremist, the head of a Salafi group, Mohammad al-Chalabi, said that he was ‘happy to see the horror in America.’ Chalabi, who also has served seven years in prison for his part in a foiled 2003 al-Qaeda attempt to bomb the U.S. and other embassies in Amman, also said, ‘Let the Americans feel the pain we endured by their armies occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and killing our people there.’ “It is not a coincidence that these extremists are overjoyed when innocent Israelis and Americans, even children, are murdered. They wish to see us destroyed. “Little wonder that Israel has been unable to bring Palestinians to sign a genuine peace treaty, or even to negotiate on one for years. “These recent events remind us that Israel, the sovereign Jewish presence in the land of Israel, is reviled by a great deal of Israel’s neighbors. Under prevailing conditions, Israel must make no concessions to unreconstructed Palestinian parties, least of all ‘confidence-building measures’ like freeing jailed terrorists, many of whom return to terrorism and most of whom have, like Daqamseh, no regrets about having murdered, or tried to murder, Jews.”
