A Hero Emerges
The shooting lasted for 13 seconds and was followed with a brief period of silence before many in the crowd began to scream and cry. A tragedy had just occurred and perhaps more violence was yet to come. However, one brave and courageous man stepped up to be the voice of reason.
Glenn Frank
, a geology professor on campus, was a faculty peace marshal that weekend. Earlier that day he had jumped into an ambulance and requested the driver to take him to the scene. After helping to get the deceased and wounded students into the ambulances, a group of 1,000 students sat down in front of the guard.
The General said, you have five minutes to move those students. Another group of guardsmen began to march towards the student gathering. Glenn ran up to Major Jones, who was in charge of the guardsmen and said, my God, what are you doing? Jones responded, I have my orders. Over my dead body, said Glenn. Jones then threw down his baton, but the Guard stopped. After the General gave him five minutes to disperse, he then made his impassioned plea.  Alan Frank
Professor Franks actions on May 4, 1970, are said to have saved hundreds of lives. In an emotional plea to the students and protestors, Glenn Frank
said
:
I dont care whether youve never listened to anyone before in your lives. I am begging you right now if you dont disperse right now theyre going to move in and it can only be a slaughter. Would you please listen to me. Jesus Christ. I dont want to be a part of this,

After hearing Glenn Franks plea, many students left the premiseand no one else was killed by the National Guard that day. However, for Glenn Frank himself, he remained deeply troubled by the events that took place. While continuing to work as a geology professor at Kent State, Glenn spent the rest of his life searching for the truth by investigating what led up to the senseless killing of four college students.
A Search for Answers
It has been 51 years since the May 4, 1970, shootings and many questions remain unanswered. The public deserves clarity. A passage of time should not comfort those in positions of power who continue to suppress the truth.
Glenn Franks son, Alan Frank, who was present during the May 4, 1970 shootings, shares his experience. Alan, who has been an active member of the Kent State May 4th community, revisits the work of his father who has sought answers to our many unanswered questions surrounding the events on and leading up to that day.

Interview with Alan Frank
The following is a transcript of an interview between independent journalist Taylor Hudak and Alan Frank, the son of Geology Professor Glenn Frank. The interview took place on May 4, 2021, at Kent State University.

Taylor Hudak: First of all, Alan Frank, I want to thank you for doing this interview with me. And I know its been 51 years since the shooting on May 4, 1970. What does it feel like to be back here on this day?
Alan Frank: Oh, its something very personal to me because I just feel the need to come and pay my respects. I try to do it every May 4th when Im in town for sure. And Im probably going to run into some people that are very close to me that Im looking forward to seeing.
TH: If you could just take me back to May 4th, 1970, on the Kent State campus. What was your experience?
AF: Let me go back a few days before that when Nixon announced the invasion of Cambodia. On Friday May 1st, there were a couple of rallies on campus, one where a guy buried a copy of the Constitution. That evening I was downtown. It was a beautiful, beautiful evening. People were getting kind of rowdy. And I saw a lot of people that I didnt usually recognize. There were a lot of people that just normally didnt come downtown like that. And there are some high school kids that were going around.
Eventually a police cruiser came through and some rocks and bottles were thrown at the police car. And eventually they put a bunch of trash out into the middle of the street on Water Street and set it on fire. And then apparently police had come in and told everybody that the bars were shut down. So part of the crowd moved up towards Main Street, broke windows and some other things.
Two friends and I eventually kicked out the bonfire that was in the street. And a lot of times youll see the caption theres two or three guys by the fire and they say these are radicals that started the fire. Now, we were there kicking the fire out and hoping that the bikers didnt beat us up.
So that evening, my father had been out of town with my my mother. And I told them that people were out, but I didnt know if it was a riot. Everybody says it was a riot, but I didnt experience a whole lot of that. The next day, on Saturday May 2nd, my father was contacted by Dr. Matson, who was in charge since Dr. White was off campus in Iowa at the time. He was asked to gather faculty marshals and they had a meeting at seven oclock that evening.
At that time, for many weeks, a lot of people felt that the ROTC building was going to burn. So he was right by the ROTC building and a group of students were there throwing rocks and breaking windows. Eventually, they went to Tri Towers to get some more students to back them up. They came back and continued hurling more rocks and came down over the hill and tried to start the fire. And I just listened to a police report and it said the ROTC building is burning. And then about 48 minutes into it, it said the building looks like its going to go back up (in flames) again. So it took at least those 48 minutes on the tape that I had heard. There were lots of stories going around about what was going on that night (Saturday May 2nd). People saw other people with walkie talkies. A lot of them had billy clubs.
TH: These so-called radicals had walkie talkies?
AF: Right, right. Yeah. So anyhow, after a good hour to an hour and a half, they attempted to burn the ROTC building. Police were standing right by the heating plant, which was not far away from there but didnt do anything. My dad was out there, got hit with rocks around his legs several times. My dad, Glenn Frank, was a faculty marshal. However, they were not to get into anything with any of the students and just tried to maintain order as much as possible. That was the day that he had gone out and purchased a bunch of cloth, robins egg blue cloth. And one of the reasons was that, and Im sure you know this, everybody had red and blue and white bandanas. Nobody had a robins egg blue bandana. So he passed those out and so the faculty had those and the student marshals had white armbands. So e

Jonathan Taylor had four rushing touchdowns and caught a TD pass, Zack Baun had a career-high three sacks, and the eighth-ranked    Badgers  coasted to a 48-0 win over    Kent State  on Saturday.   Taylor had 19 rushes for 186 yards, eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the 27th time in 32 career games with the Badgers (5-0).   "It's still a long season ahead, and to be consistent, you've got to play through a whole season knowing that you can't just have a couple games," Taylor said. "There's still a long way to go, but I'll continue to try and be as efficient as possible."   Baun's three sacks led a Wisconsin defense that had nine total sacks and has now pitched three shutouts in a season for the first time since 1937. The Badgers, who entered the day with the nation's top-ranked defense, held Kent State (2-3) to 124 yards of total offense. Chris Orr, the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts against Northwestern, added two sacks for a unit that has allowed four touchdowns through five games.   "Guys are playing with more confidence," Orr said. "Guys are really glued in to their alignment and assignment. ... We're not reinventing the wheel."   Dustin Crum and Woody Barrett combined for just 64 yards on 10-of-17 passing. Most of those yards came on a 28-yard completion to receiver Raymond James.   The Golden Flashes, coached by former Wisconsin quarterback and tight end Sean Lewis, have played two ranked opponents this season and were outscored 103-16 in those matchups. Kent State lost to then-No. 8 Auburn 55-16 on Sept. 14.   "We have to do a better job of preparing our guys for the task at hand, make sure that we're ready, make sure that we're prepared for the effort that's warranted to win a ballgame like that," Lewis said.   Taylor scored from 6 yards on the opening drive. The junior running back now has a touchdown on each of the Badgers' five opening drives this season. Wisconsin is the only team in the FBS to open each game with a touchdown.   "He's the best running back in the country," Lewis said of Taylor.   Taylor scored four first-half touchdowns before the Golden Flashes had their third first down. Taylor also crossed the goal line on 19-, 4- and 48-yard runs. Taylor and quarterback Jack Coan linked up for an 18-yard score that made it 28-0 at halftime.   Coan, who won his seventh straight start, finished 12 for 15 with 134 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Jake Ferguson was on the receiving end of the junior's other touchdown. Their 2-yard score made it 41-0 with 8:01 left in the third quarter. Receiver Jack Dunn added the final score on a 3-yard run in the fourth.   THE TAKEAWAY   With 4,916 career yards rushing, Taylor is now in third place on Wisconsin's all-time rushing list.    Montee Ball  (2009-12) is second with 5,140 yards. Taylor still has a way to go before catching the 7,125 yards posted by Ron Dayne (1996-99). Taylor continues to show why he deserves to be near the top of the list of    Heisman Trophy  contenders. The 2018 Doak Walker Award winner already has 16 touchdowns this season. That's the most by any FBS player in his team's first five games since Ricky Williams had 20 for Texas in 1998. Williams won the Heisman that season.   POLL IMPLICATIONS   Minimal. The Badgers were a 36-point favorite against the Golden Flashes. Wisconsin did what it was supposed to do against an inferior    Mid-American Conference  opponent.

The gesture is personally connected to Harvey, who is a graduate from Kent State University himself.
The awards were gifted in honor of Kent State student Devin Moore, who died in 2017 during a basketball game at the Kent, Ohio school.
The scholarship funds are given through Steve Harveys philanthropic mission with his wife, Marjorie Harvey: The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation. The pair run the organization to give back to young people from urban communities and to provide them with educational opportunities.

I dont think small about anything, the former The Steve Harvey Show host said of giving back during the inaugural Coca-Cola Pay It Forward Academy in 2015. I dont care what it is. It makes no sense for me to get a house on the hill if I cant tell somebody else how to get one. We need more of us to make it.
Continuing, If I help a young person get his life together, when I go to God for my request, he hears me better.
The 62-yeaar-old confidently links his charity with this faith, explaining, 
gotta use somebody to show off what he do. God gotta show off his goodness and grace to somebody. All you have to do is volunteer.

Roachs other work as a director includes Game Change, the HBO dramadepicting Sarah Palins rise to a vice presidential nomination (and, no, Fey did not play Palin), and Trumbo, among others. His more recent political work comes after directing franchises like Austin Powers and Meet the Parents.
Fey will also work alongside producers Jeff Richmond and Eric Gurian from their Little Strangerproduction company, as well as Michelle Graham from Everyman Pictures and Rawat and Monica Levinson from ShivHans Pictures.
Richmond, Feys husband, attended Kent State and developed the idea with Gurian before launching it with Roach.
The film will be a historical drama detailing the events that led to the shooting of Kent State students during a Vietnam War protest in May 1970.
Sixty-seven shots were fired by the Ohio National Guard
, four students were killed and nine were injured.
There was a prevailing movement in the country  they measured it with polls  where the vast majority of Americans blamed the students for what happened, Roach told
Deadline
. We have footage of the people on the streets saying, I wish theyd shot them all.
Roach also compared the 1970 events to todays political protests, specifically the controversy surrounding athletes' choice not to stand for the national anthem.
The tamer version of this now is the NFL protest, the hatred that comes out for any show of what some people consider lack of patriotism, he said.

Tina Fey is co-producing the film 67 shots, which will depict the events leading up to the 1970 shooting at Kent State University.

Joe Walsh
reflected on the horror of the Kent State University massacre in a compassionate note marking the event's 50th anniversary.
The Eaglesguitarist was attending the school when Ohio National Guard soldiers fired into a crow of unarmed students protesting the U.S. expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. Four were killed and nine were wounded in the shooting, which devastated the musician, prompting him to drop out of school and start a music career.
"Those of us who were there remember that day graphically, when our classmates, our friends, got shot down," Walsh wrote. "We were naive young people who had left our parents' nest and were just starting our lives by going to college and furthering our education. And we were peacefully demonstrating but because of a total dysfunctional authority trying to handle a situation they didnt understand, it mutated into elevated emotions and anger, chaos and fear escalated into violence."
Walsh  who was originally scheduled to perform alongside David Crosby at a now-canceled concertrecognizing the anniversary  emphasized the event's echoing relevance on current events, noting the vast political and social division of the U.S. in 2020.
"It was a long time ago but the reason it is so important and should be remembered is because history repeats itself  and we are as divided as a country now as we were then  and people demonstrating have no chance against people with guns," he wrote. "The solution then, as it is now, is to be able to peacefully assemble and understand each other and accept our differences, without fear, without hatred, without violence."
The guitarist's comments arrive three days after Eagles were once again forced to postponetheir Hotel California tourdue to the COVID-19pandemic. The trek, which was originally pushed backto fall 2020, now kicks off Sept. 16, 2021, in Denver.

Kid Biz
Jay and Janet Finegold have been outfitting the children of Preston Hollow and Park Cities for more than 30 years, but recently, they got even more incentive to stay on the cutting edge of fun kids fashions, and her name is Josephine.
The husband-and-wife team, who own Kid Biz and The Biz in Inwood Village, welcomed their first grandchild, Josephine Rose White, last month. Josephine  or JoJo  is the first child for their daughter, Erin Finegold White, and her husband, Justin.
It is the coolest thing, a beaming Janet said during a break at the store last week.
Weve been waiting forever for this, agreed Jay.
I feel like our family, everybody has grandchildren  and our friends, everybody has grandchildren, Janet added. I think were the last, or close to the last.
All this time, the two have been buying and selling childrens clothes, as well as hosting events and parties, at their two storesthat are now at Inwood Village, and the Plaza at Preston Center before that.
Were outfitting the kids of kids that used to visit our store, said Jay. One thing is for sure, weve been in it a long time. The question was if wed been in it too long, and I guess now we have a reason to keep it going.
And, it goes without saying, their granddaughter will now be the best-dressed infant in all of Dallas, if her doting grandparents have any say.
Going to market to choose new lines and pieces for their store has become a whole new adventure, too, said Janet.
I have a totally new eye, she said. We didnt know if it was a boy or girl, so Ive been kind of, Well, well take a few more little boy things just in case 
And we didnt know exactly what size the baby was gonna be  so just about everything has been a little big, she added. So Im trying to regroup and find a little newborn sizes cause shes only about six pounds right now. So shes just pretty tiny.
And just like her mother and two aunts modeled for the family business, the Finegolds expect that Josephine will also take a turn.
Of course, Janet said. Shes already modeling Posh Peanut, which is a line we carry.
While the two havent been pressed into babysitting just yet, they say it will be included in our job responsibilities, Janet said.

Knowing our daughter and our son in law, they like to take care of themselves, too, Jay agreed. W
ell be handling some duties  theres no question about it. And thats what grandparents are here for. Were just pleased as punch that theyre in town.

And while they havent been babysitting just yet, they said theyve been making regular trips over to bring meals and supplies to the young family.
The two said its been fun to watch their daughter and son-in-law turn into parents overnight, too.
Ive been trying to keep my mouth shut, Janet chuckled. But you know, theyre new parents, so theyre a little bit on the nervous side. Yesterday, they were so funny and they said the baby started crying, which she hardly does  you hardly hear a peep out of her. Shes barely a week old yet.
And they said she started crying and they looked at each other like, What are we supposed to do? And one of them, goes, Try the pacifier,' she continued.And it worked. And I said, See, you already learn something. You already know she likes pacifiers.'
But Im just letting them do their thing  you know, if they ask for help, Janet added. But Im not going to go barging in and be that mother-in-law.
While the two grandparents are over the moon, they also look forward to having possibly more grandchildren to dress some day. Both their other daughters live in New York, and are not yet married, but we hope one day, Jay said.
Someday, Janet said.
But no, its a wonderful feeling, Jay said. Everybodys told us that, and I knew it would be   no one needed to tell us that. Its a great feeling.

PUPILS from Sheffields Mylnhurst School proved they really are a class act as they were named the St Lukes Hospice Biz Kids champions of 2020.
Biz Kids is the charitys annual challenge that encourages the young entrepreneurs of the future, with local businesses providing participating primary schools with a 100 seed fund that the children then use to raise as much money as possible by developing their business skills.
This years challenge saw children from Anns Grove Primary, Windmill Hill Primary, St Thomas of Canterbury, St Wilfrids, Westways, Mylnhurst, Tinsley Meadows, Dore Primary and Carterknowle Junior taking part.
They were supported by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and city businesses LB Foster, Aviva, Henry Boot, Hawsons, Highlander UK, Mercia motors and Born and Raised.
And the overall winners, with a final total of 3,312.15, were the children from Mylnhurst.
Their imaginative ideas included a reindeer race, a Monsal Trail cycle ride, afternoon tea and a disco.
The winners of the Biz Kids Enterprise Award were the children of St Wilfrids who delivered the best presentation on judging day, covering how they achieved the key learning objectives of the challenge.
The truth is that every school who took part is a champion and we are proud of everything that every child has achieved by taking part and supporting St Lukes, said St Lukes Community Fundraising Assistant Morven Keay.
Judging was as difficult as ever because, as always, the children came up with such great fundraising ideas.
Among the imaginative ways the children found to raise money were talent contests, movie nights, craft sales, Christmas jumper and pyjama days, bake sales, discos, penalty shoot outs and Splat the Teacher events
Morven added: We saw imagination, flair and enormous enthusiasm  all the things to make the Dragons Den stars of the future.

3 Ways to Help Baby Talk  Help Develop Babys Language Early On

bibbadmin21
Introduction  We Have a Late Talker!
Hearing your child speak their first words is one of the best milestones to experience. Our son said Papa at 7 months old and mama was soon to follow, but after this was radio silence until well after 2.5 years old. I found myself asking questions like:
Was there more I could have done early on to help our son talk? (although we read a ton of books and I narrated everything throughout the day)
Did we make a mistake speaking two languages since birth to our baby?
Will my son catch up by the time he starts school?
Ive talked with many bi-lingual families who also experienced a speech delay, but science says that the brain can separate two languages and speaking two languages to baby does not cause a speech delay. Our son understands Russian and English perfectly, but when he went to school at 2.5 years old, we decided to speak only English to see if this would speed up the talking process. All the kids in his class were talking full sentences so we knew there was a delay. We are not really sure if this made a difference though because he was not talking much (probably 20 words) even at almost 3 years old.
A few months before our sons third birthday, we had him evaluated by Birth to Three to see if he would qualify for speech therapy. Birth to Three is an amazing (and free) federal program that assists states in operating a comprehensive statewide program of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities, ages birth up to age three, and their families. (
Birth23.org
).
Once you schedule an evaluation over the phone, two speech therapists visit your home and interact youre your child and ask a ton of questions (each state is different as to how many and which professionals are sent to evaluate your child). It was a fun and interesting process.
Our son was diagnosed with a significant exp

Future Tycoons in the Spotlight at Commercenter Alabangs BIZ KIDS 2019
Wazzup Pilipinas!
The next-generation entrepreneurs behind the exciting kiddie ventures of Commercenter Alabangs BIZ KIDS 2019 got their real-world business experience last weekend! In the first-of-its-kind event in the South, the participating youngsters brought and sold various self-made products to a new and bigger customer base  which even included Filipino rock music icon Bamboo, who dropped by at the event!
For its second year, BIZ KIDS provided free expo space for a total of 14 businesses  2  more than 2018  run by kids with a strong entrepreneurial flair over the two-day fair. This allowed the budding young entrepreneurs to focus their energy and brain power on making their products and thinking of creative ways to sell.
Formally opening the event was a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the morning of May 18, 2019, Saturday, led by Commercenter Alabangs Ana Liza Maquinay, Operations and Leasing Supervisor, and Bianca Pabello, Junior Marketing Manager. After that, the little entrepreneurs got to work right away  going back to their respective booths to start selling their merchandise, which  ranged from food and beverages, arts and crafts, stationery and accessories, personalized gift items and souvenirs, and skincare products.
Seeing the kids creativity, determination, and enthusiasm is really inspiring, quips Leslie Tagle-Dinglasan, Asst. Vice President for Marketing of Commercenter Alabang. They could have chosen to just sleep in or play that weekend, but instead they chose to be at BIZ KIDS 2019 to learn, work, and earn.
At the end of the weekend event, the standout kiddie ventures were honored at the BIZ KIDS Awards. Lois Faith Berino bagged the Best Booth Design Award for her biz, Lois Faith Gourmet Recipes, which offered pasti-mallows, crispy mushrooms, and yema spread. Little tycoons Hidde and Rinke Bartlema and Lucius Manalac, the trio behind homemade skincare brand Flubber Blubber Soaps and Scrubs, received the Most Innov

Jennifer Medbery, founder and CEO of the education technology company Kickboard, has announced she is hiring a new CEO as the company grows, according to the Silicon Bayou News.
Kickboard, a web-based school analytics platform that combines behavioral management and intervention technology with leadership coaching, launched out of New Orleans in 2009.
Since then, the company raised $2.8 million in funding (in a seed and 2013 A round) from investors that include New Market Venture Partners, Two Sigma Ventures and angel investors, according to Edsurge.com.
Medbery, a former software developer and Teach for America alumna who taught high school math at New Orleans Charter Science and Math Academy, launched the Kickboard platform in 2009 as tool to help teachers better track and make decisions based on classroom data. She plans to stay involved with the firm as it launches a national search for a CEO.
As an innovative leader in a fast-growing market that is increasingly taking a whole child approach to education, Kickboard is poised for unprecedented growth, Medbery tells Silicon Bayou News. With that, Ive decided that it is time to bring on a seasoned executive to serve as CEO and help me lead the company into this next phase.

NEW ORLEANS, LA  (Marketwire)  02/27/13   Kickboard, a web-based school analytics platform that allows educators and school leaders to capture, analyze and securely share critical , announced today that it has received $2 million in Series A funding led by New Markets Venture Partners and Two Sigma Ventures, with participation from several angel investors. The new round adds to $800,000 from previous seed and angel rounds, bringing the total amount raised to $2.8 million.
Today-s announcement signals the start of an exciting period of growth for Kickboard, said Jennifer Medbery, founder and CEO of Kickboard. With this funding we plan to expand our team and invest in further product development, particularly enhanced dashboards that offer new ways to visualize student performance, including shared information from other tools teachers and school leaders use. In a , it is imperative that teachers, students and families have greater visibility into all elements of student performance so that they can take informed, decisive action and improve student outcomes.
Kickboard enables schools to complement the deficiencies of their student information system by going beyond the gradebook to develop richer profiles of student progress that include multiple assessments, standards mastery, 21st century skills, reading growth and, most uniquely, student behavior, character strengths and personal interests. The platform-s dashboards provide real-time visibility into student performance in and across classrooms so that teachers have the information they need to make meaningful adjustments to instruction and interventions. With Kickboard, schools are able to improve , increase collaboration among educators, better facilitate family communication and advance a culture of performance school-wide.
We believe the answers to K-12 quality, innovation and scaled efficacy are born in authentic data at the classroom and, moreover, end user levels, said Elizabeth Chou of New Markets Venture Partners. Kickboard has created a unique and powerful platform that makes it possible for teachers and school leaders to easily and efficiently collect, analyze and act on student behavior and academic data. We recognize the wide-reaching and positive impact Kickboard can have on students- lives and we look forward to helping the company expand and grow.
Currently more than 200 schools nationwide have implemented Kickboard school-wide to support their performance-based culture and increase alignment, consistency and real-time visibility of  information. Additionally, due to demand from teachers requesting to use Kickboard in their classroom without waiting for school-wide adoption, Kickboard recently began offering free starter accounts to individual educators and teams of up to three teachers per school. The Kickboard starter accounts include most of the same features and functionality as the enterprise platform, allowing teacher leaders to use  to advance a culture of performance in their school directly by fostering a more transparent, collaborative, growth-minded and results-driven environment in their classrooms.
In many industries, thoughtful, user-conscious analytics and visualization of data can be incredibly powerful, said Colin Beirne of Two Sigma Ventures. Kickboard puts actionable real-time data at the fingertips of teachers and school administrators to better enable them to fine-tune their instruction and management, and ultimately better fulfill their school-s mission. As strong believers in the power of data to drive insight and results, Two Sigma Ventures is proud to support Kickboard-s efforts to build strong, healthy schools where teachers and students thrive.

Kickboard, a holistic student data tracking platform that goes beyond the gradebook and enables teachers to collect, analyze and share mission-critical data, announced today that it is launching an exclusive, free webinar series, Igniting a Gradebook Revolution, beginning August 8th. Registrations are currently being accepted for the first two sessions in the series: Setting the Right Expectations and Analyzing the Right Data to Create Consistent Classroom Culture on August 8, featuring presenters from Achievement First and Democracy Prep, and Building a Performance-Driven Culture From Day One of the New School Year with KIPP New Orleans on August 15th. Both webinars are from 1:00-2:00 pm EDT.


Traditional gradebooks arent cutting it. They dont capture, track and report student behavior, as well as academic achievement, as part of student performance, said Jennifer Medbery, founder and CEO of Kickboard. However, many schools are now transforming the gradebook into a centralized hub of student performance to infuse a data-driven approach into both teaching and learning, as well as to build a strong classroom culture. This webinar series discusses the challenges, successes and best practices of schools where the gradebook has become a powerful schoolwide collaboration platform for ensuring student success.



Attendees will gain actionable insights into ways their peers are using data to support student success and achievement and advance a performance-driven culture, while facilitating collaboration between teachers, administrators and parents. There are first steps any school can take today to expand the view of student achievement beyond grades and instead measure whole student performance, as well as strategies and tools that can help them turn that data into a plan of action.



School leaders, administrators and teachers interested in learning more about how they can use data to establish or enhance a performance-driven culture should register to attend the following webinars:

Great news My friends at Kickboard have just closed a $2M Series A funding round, which will accelerate their success.
They make a web-based platform and applications that progressive teachers and schools use to gather and share data with each other about not only student academic performance, but also about character development.
The big deal is that it allows teachers to collaborate in tailoring the whole-child education to each students needs and strengths.

Mary
came over again last week to teach my little girls and me how to knit the purl stitch. She is such a kind and devoted friend and her children are absolutely wonderful. Her daughter is so sweet to take the time to teach little Maria how to knit the Knit stitch. Mary drives over 45 minutes to get here and usually stays for about 2 hours, which is never long enough. We really enjoy their company and I always learn so much from her. She let us borrrow some really nice bamboo needles and some really awesome knitting books.We are so incredibly blessed to have her living here so close to us.
Here is my little Maria knitting all by herself. I'm so proud of her and Angela for picking it up so fast. Unfortunately, I injured my finger a few days before and I wasn't able to knit at all until a few days later. I hope we'll be able to get together sometime this month so I can learn a few more knitting stitches. In the meantime, I'll continue to work on a scarf and maybe finish it before winter ends. :)

SEW U think youre creative?
Pick up Sew U: A Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe by Wendy Mullin, the designer of the downtown cult favorite label Built by Wendy (7 Centre Market Place; [212] 925-6538; and 46 N. Sixth St., Brooklyn; [718] 384-2882), and outsmart that clothing copycat in accounting by showing off your own togs.
From stitches to britches, this democratic how-to guide defies the laws laid down in stodgy sewing books of yesteryear.
Mullin, with the help of writer Eviana Hartman, imparts her seamless wisdom on basic fabrics, machine functions, patterns and cuts.
Some of these sewing books are so scary and overwhelming, including things that you dont need, says Mullin, the reluctant but hip home-ec heroine whose humble foray into design was selling her clothes in the back of a New York record store.
I have so many friends who are crafty but havent taken it to the next level. I wanted to give people the basic understanding and have the tools to be creative on their own, she adds.
And in a gesture of generosity, Mullin includes some of her own basic patterns in the book and explains step by step, with clean and cute illustrations, how it all comes together.
Having these basic skills gives a general overview, and you can get crazy from there, says Mullin.
For even the most inept sewer, there is a chapter on how to have your design dreams turned into reality by your local tailor.
Part of a greater DIY trend  which in recent years has taken over cable television and half of Barnes & Noble  this clever and digestible book fronted by a respected designer should lend sewing the pop cred of knitting.
Regardless of your arty penchant, knowing how to needle your way through the supply shops can be downright intimidating, even if you know your darts from your pleats.
Navigate the cluttered storefronts manned by the old guard of the garment trade or pop into some of the kitschy nouveau purling parlors with this abridged list of crafty caches.

aulina moves to Fairfolk Island to chase a version of happily ever after that shes been led to believe she doesnt deserve. Shes running away from heartbreak, and to escape the restless anxiety that plagues her. But the idyllic honeymooners paradise doesnt turn out to be a happily ever after at all: there, shes a mainie, a disposable outsider on minimum wage who struggles to find her place in the islands tight-knit community. She does all the wrong things  she walks the island alone at night, shes promiscuous, drinks a lot, and plays fast and loose with the loyalty of her female friends. Paulina is challenging, and difficult to like. So when she is murdered, her mother, Judy, is one of the few people willing to fight for answers.
Paulina is the central character in The Newcomer, Laura Elizabeth Woolletts third book, following her critically acclaimed short story collection, The Love of a Bad Man, and Beautiful Revolutionary, a novel about the Peoples Temple and the cult of Jim Jones.

This deftly constructed story explores themes of power and the way we perceive victims, weaving together the dual narrative strands of the months before and after Paulinas death. In one, Paulina is messy and full of life, trying to find her feet on the island. In the other, Judy is fixated on understanding why her daughter died, and who is responsible. These alternating threads make the absence of Paulina herself viscerally felt  the chapters that take place after her death echo silence in contrast to those in which she is alive.
Woollett manipulates the structure of the crime novel, the suspense of the whodunnit, to destabilise the idea that there is ever one perpetrator of a crime. She cleverly intertwines before and after timelines to highlight all the ways that Paulina is a victim of violence against women before she becomes one in a way that actually warrants legal attention. The question that Woollett asks here  that she suggests we should all be asking  is what makes a system so broken that it requires the bodies of women in order to take any action?
The Newcomer is character-driven writing, by a writer praised for her keen observations of the same. Paulina is fascinating precisely because she is a rejection of so many cultural expectations of likability. Shes mouthy, rude, provocative, and often messily drunk. Her relationship with her mother, while volatile, is redemptive. Judy not only sees Paulinas flaws, she is desperate to remember them, sobbing to her therapist that she is forgetting how nasty she was. Later, though, when Judy is manipulated into appearing on a television show examining Paulinas case, she calls her daughter the love of my life. Judys grief, guilt and uncertainty cut away any sense of Paulina having deserved her death.
Woolletts prose is intellectual and deliberate, with every element of the text feeding into the books overall themes. She exploits every angle the crime genre has to offer to reinforce her incisive commentary regarding the social and systemic failings towards violence against women. Paulina is made a victim many times over before she is murdered, but until her body is found no one thinks to help. If anything, she is presented as beyond help, alienating even Jesse, who is the only one to visit her house after she dies. At times the book wears its intellect too heavily, the mechanics of how and why Woollett is writing the story coming at the expense of the narrative tension. But for the most part it works, and is a page-turner nonetheless.
Read more
The Newcomer asks the reader to look uncomfortably close to home, and to ask ourselves what atrocities we overlook by turning a blind eye. The violence that Paulina endures at the hands of herself and multiple men is difficult to read and wont be for everyone, particularly as some of the more extreme examples fail to meet any satisfying justice. But despite the books unsettling provocations, Woollett also has a lot of fun with the genre, and crime lovers will appreciate the fresh perspective to the traditional whodunnit. It casts aside the central detective figure and instead focuses on the various women in the novel. Judy is devastatingly relatable, and her presence is the heart of the novel.
The Newcomer does a lot in its short pages, weaving together a story of grief and unhappiness with a compelling crime narrative. Ultimately it is a book about exclusion and justice, and the way we construct victims to fit narratives that make us feel better, when we should be railing against the systems and individuals that have failed them all the way.
