Throughout this project we have also been curating and creating resources, blogs, links and videos to supplement the toolkit – ensuring that you have easy access to the materials which will help you adaptation action plan succeed. We know that some people prefer to work on paper, or that some exercises might be best undertaken with your wider team, so we’ve made it suitable for those who might want to print sections (although of course, we encourage you to be mindful of the environment if doing this!) The Adapting our Culture toolkit is free to access, licensed as a Creative Commons resource and available for download as an interactive pdf. We want to ensure that as many people and organisations as possible could benefit from this toolkit, and succeed in a climate changed world. The toolkit is part information, part workbook, enabling you to note down reflections and ideas as they arise, and track or share your progress with your colleagues How can you access the toolkit? Creating an action plan which supports your adaptation.Understanding the implications and opportunities for your specific organisation.Understanding climate impacts in general.This toolkit contains three main sections, supported by prompting questions and clear follow-on resources: How will this toolkit help your cultural organisation? However, we believe that adapting to climate change is not only a practical necessity, but also a potential opportunity for cultural organisations to thrive in a changing world. We know that the cultural sector is made up of a range of organisations, often producing huge amounts of high quality artistic work with few resources. We need to anticipate the effects, prevent damage and take advantage of the opportunities which might arise. To be socially, environmentally and financially resilient to a warmer, wetter and wilder climate, culture must adapt.Ĭultural organisations need to recognise the risk that climate change poses to how we work, where we work, and who we work with. Throughout history, societies have adapted to the local conditions of their physical environments, but the pace of climate change will create new challenges and opportunities for cultural organisations. Why is it so important to adapt our culture? The result of this action-research project is an in-depth toolkit, specifically tailored to support cultural organisations to plan their adaptation to climate change. From 2018 to 2021, we have been exploring the ways in which cultural organisations can adapt to the impacts of climate change – and how they can thrive in a climate-changed world.

The moments of grimdark hilarity, like magical girls crying blood, are few and located far between the long sessions of wallowing in watching a young girl suffer. It delights in showing the lines of exhaustion under Aya’s eyes, her bruises, the vomit and spit and tears every time she’s pushed down or hit. Magical Girl Site has no shortage of detail. Pictured: The writer of Magical Girl Site (or Madoka Magica, or Yuki Yuna, or…) But that kind of show generally relies on a certain level of technical incompetence and an eliding of detail that strives for the punch of horrible plot beats without actually wanting or knowing how to showcase them (see: School Days). This “pile on the misery” approach to plotting (“her mom is dead-no wait, she’s an orphan! With an eyepatch! And she HAS A PAPERCUT”) has been rife for unintended comedic appeal before, as it usually crops up in shows that have little to no grasp on how to powerfully portray even one traumatic event in a moving way, much less six all at the same time. Hell, our first glimpse of Aya is her internal monologue that “every day, all I think about it dying” as she imagines stepping out in front of a train. Over the course of this episode Aya is beaten, held down in a toilet bowl until she passes out, has her kitten murdered, has a box cutter stuck in her mouth, and is assaulted and almost raped. I can’t lie, I kind of had hopes for this one-there have been a few dark magical girl shows I liked, and sometimes they make me laugh-but the actual result is just too unpleasant to qualify for so-bad-it’s-good. Simply put, being a magical girl may never be shiny, but for those who suffered hardship in life, it's brighter and they are far better off than not.“Oh Disposakitty, you’re my only friend!” Also, they are well aware that they have limited time but try to make the most of it, undergoing Character Development for the better and having more positive outlooks on life. Despite this, they managed to make the best of their power to settle their personal problems. The magical girl system isn't pretty either, with girls sacrificing their lifespan with their power and girls killing each other off for more wands. Nijimi), victims of crime/rape (Yatsumura, Sayuki, and Mikari), crippling health problems (Kosame), and a combination of the above (Aya and Kayo). Such misfortune varies from bullying (i.e. Throughout the story, none of the magical girls had normal lives before they were contacted by the Site. This is where Magical Girl Site comes in. Once that pact is made, just about everything goes downhill for them in more ways than one. Once they had the opportunity to be a magical girl, none didn't have any particular reason or were forced to do so, unaware of the real price they pay of making a contract with the Mentor Mascot. The girls in Madoka seem to have normal daily lives to the point they didn't need anything special in life. The main point that Madoka brought it is why someone would want to be a magical girl. Why would someone want to be a magical girl? Although it is by no means a masterpiece like PMMM, Mahou Shoujo Site does provide Reconstruction of the Magical Girl genre. Magical Girl Site vs Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magical Girl Site is maybe on the level of Madoka Magica in terms of the tone and themes.

The glands are connected by ducts to two small nipples that are hidden when the tail is down and exposed when the tail is raised. The glands are about the size of a grape and contain about a tablespoon of musk, enough for five or six discharges. The scent of the skunk is produced by a thick, yellow, oily fluid, or musk, secreted by two glands located on either side of the anus at the base of the tail. On the prairies and in the most northern parts of the range, spring emergence is somewhat later. Any grouping of sex and age may be found together in a den.īy late February, in some parts of Canada, skunks begin to awaken from their winter state of torpor, or inactivity, and are fully active by the end of March. They may emerge briefly from their den at any time during winter. Males are active until the temperature reaches about -10° C and may join their own family, other males, or may den alone. Usually the mother and young den together, entering the den when the temperature reaches about 0° C. As many as 20 skunks have been found in one den, but the number is typically much fewer. Males become more active during the breeding season, when they may travel 8 km in a night.īy autumn skunks have acquired a heavy layer of fat, and in November or December they select a deep den in which to spend the winter. They forage within about 800 m of the den, but may venture as far away as 2 km in a night. Skunks may leave their den to forage, or search for food, at any hour of the day, but are usually abroad from late afternoon or evening through the night. A skunk gathers leaves by placing them under its body and then shuffling along to the den with the leaves held between its legs as it moves. The leaves may also be used to plug the openings to the den in cold weather. One of the chambers is lined with leaves and used for a nest. There may be from one to five well-hidden openings that lead to a system of tunnels and chambers. If a skunk digs its own den it is usually simple, but one taken over from another animal may be quite elaborate. For information on obtaining such a trap, contact the local humane society. Once the skunk is captured the trap may be covered with several burlap bags until it is transported some kilometres away and the skunk released. Such traps permit easy handling of the skunks and transportation to more suitable localities for release. To dispose of unwanted or locally harmful skunks without harming them, box traps may be used. Skunks that den under buildings should be trapped outside. The latter practice is especially common in farming areas. They will also use stumps, rock piles, or refuse heaps, or will even set up housekeeping under a house or porch or in a cellar. Skunks generally live in the abandoned dens of woodchucks, foxes, or other mammals of similar or larger size and only occasionally excavate their own dens. The skunk prefers open areas of mixed forests and grasslands and has very little fear of humans, so it has benefited from the new habitats created by the opening of the forests that accompanied settlement and agriculture. Unlike many other animals it has adapted well to the presence of humans, and its present range is much expanded since primeval times. The striped skunk is one of the most useful small mammals that inhabit the mixed farmlands, grasslands, and forests of Canada. Indeed its scientific name, mephitis, is a Latin word meaning bad odour.Īn angry skunk will growl or hiss, and stamp its front feet rapidly. The skunk is outstanding for this characteristic, however, and can discharge a bad smelling fluid to defend itself. Skunks belong to the weasel family Mustelidae, all of whose members have well-developed scent glands and a musky odour. It moves slowly and deliberately and depends for safety not on running away or on remaining inconspicuous, but on its scent glands. The skunk has long, straight claws for digging out the burrows of mice, ripping apart old logs for grubs and larvae, and digging in the sand for turtle eggs. The tail is mostly black, but the stripes may extend down it, usually to a tuft of white at the tip. The thick, glossy fur is black, with a thin white stripe down the centre of the face and a broad white stripe beginning on the back of the head, forking at the shoulders and continuing as a white stripe along each side of the back to the base of the tail. Its small head fits conveniently, but sometimes too snugly, into enticing open jars. The striped skunk Mephitis mephitis is about the size of a cat, but has a stout body, a rather small head, short legs, and a bushy tail.

The good thing about the front part is that it forms after the foot and leaves room for swelling feet. They do feel great, but the part that's underneath the front part of the foot gets squeezed flat fast, so the cushioning disappears and a tiny drop from heal to toe will appear, since the part underneath the heal doesn't get flat. When the shoes get wet the water drains out fast and I didn't feel the shoes get all heavy like other shoes do. I didn't get a lot of dirt into the shoes. The gaiters are a must and stay in place too. I'm also impressed by the grip on the steep hills and how well they stayed in place in the wet marchlands where the deep mudd would have made other shoes get stuck and sucked off. I had less sore feet than I usually have after en ultra race and my feet recovered faster than usual. That my feet were wet for too long, which made the skin hurt, had nothing to do with the shoes. My feet felt really good during and after this race. It's my second long race in them and once again I'm amazed by how well they fit my feet. I ran this race in the Joe Nimble Addict Trail shoes. The best shoes I've ever run an ultra in.

Find all interviews and background information about the development. You can find the replacement Addict footbeds here. It's best to listen to your body carefully, then you are probably on track. Whether this is the case after 500km´s or only after 800km´s depends on your individual situation. 500km´s of overall running distance, the Addict footbed may have worn down a bit and should be replaced with a new one in order to avoid pain or injuries. The additional Flexitec® insole is the ideal supplementary equipment for runs on particularly technical trails: simply placed under the existing insole, it the lightweight spring steel core protects the foot from injury from sharp stones or roots and promotes natural pressure distribution under the metatarsal heads. If necessary, gaiters to protect against dirt and stones are conveniently attached to a specially designed ring and velcro fixture system integrated in the shoe. The stability that is so central to trail runners, is provided by Joe Nimble's toefreedom® philosophy, which has been legendary for decades. The soft rip-stop upper material is robust and breathable at the same time. Whether muddy or stony ground - with this shoe you will reach your destination safely! The sole technology that meanwhile has become typical for our Functional Footwear design concept, developed in collaboration with Soles by Michelin, offers extra grip thanks to multi-directional studs. The integrated membrane ensures that your feet stay dry when you are out and about, while still maintaining a pleasant foot climate. We recommend you to order the model a 1/2 size larger.įollowing our trail running debut last year, we now went another big step further with the waterproof version of the Trail Addict and not only improved the lacing system and its storage pocket, but also met the high demands of trail running even more in terms of material and craftsmanship. We know they can’t raise a family on that amount of money,” Pringle said. The NEA report on pay also showed that 40 percent of education support professionals (ESP) nationwide - like interventionists or special education aides - make less than $25,000 a year. “Excellent recruitment really supports retaining teachers over time,” she said, because “one of the strongest predictors of whether or not a teacher will remain in their classroom is how supportive they find their school leaders.” ”We’re constantly in a recruitment format and we’re really starting to look at nontraditional candidates because we know there are not enough traditional graduates coming out of education programs,” Reid said, “so we’re also being asked to look at career switchers.”īut as school administrations pivot to prioritizing staffing up with new teachers, Carver-Thomas said, retaining educators is also critical because high teacher turnover makes it difficult to create a stable school environment, which “has a detrimental impact on student achievement.” Reid says the shortages forced Fairfax County to change its hiring approach in many ways, including pivoting from seasonal recruiting to year-round recruiting. Teacher resignations in Fairfax jumped 45 percent last year compared to average resignation rates from 2018 to 2020, according to a Washington Post analysis. “Many of our teachers currently actually take a second job to support their families, and that’s, I think, a real challenge for our staff,” Reid said. Michelle Reid, the superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia, oversees more than 13,000 teachers in one of the largest school systems in the country. Watch the video in the player above.Īdministrators have also been feeling the pressure to recruit and retain teachers. PBS NewsHour digital anchor Nicole Ellis spoke with education experts across the country on challenges with teacher pay and what it means for retention. “Shortages are a massive problem on the national scale,” said Desiree Carver-Thomas, a researcher at the Learning Policy Institute, adding, “we see shortages in almost every state when it comes to math, science and special education.” Pringle says the compounding effects of a “lack of professional pay, lack of respect, lack of time, and lack of resources,” has made it hard to keep teachers and disincentivizes college graduates from pursuing careers in education to begin with. Pandemic-related stress and burnout were also factors. Pay is one of the leading reasons teachers have said they are leaving the profession, according to a 2022 NEA survey, which found that nearly 55 percent of teachers were considering leaving the profession earlier than they’d planned. “Overall, over these last 10 years, salaries have actually declined,” she said. But while the 2.5 percent increase is significant, average overall teacher salaries have struggled to keep up, especially with inflation, NEA President Becky Pringle said. This positive impact is crucial as student math and reading scores decline across the country.New teacher salaries rose by more than they had in a decade during the 2021-2022 school year, according to a recent report by the National Education Association (NEA). Department of Education, student achievement increases as much as 21 percent when their teachers participate in professional development programs and adopt different techniques to deliver instruction. When teachers are encouraged to support each other, they learn new ways to excel in their classroom, improving instruction.īy investing in their teachers, districts directly invest in their students. More than half of teachers consider collaboration with colleagues the most effective type of professional development. Workshops and peer groups provide a creative outlet for teachers to lean on each other for advice. New and seasoned teachers can level up their skills and work toward subject mastery. It exposes educators to the latest instructional methods, offering research-based best practices and providing the confidence to teach new concepts. Professional development, however, is one powerful tool that can alleviate some of the pressure and help reduce teacher turnover.Ĭontinuing education and career training make up a vital part of the educational process. Key contributors to educators leaving the field include a lack of preparation, mentoring and support. In February 2009, Barkley was sentenced to ten days in jail and fined $2,000 for two DUI-related counts and one count of running a red light.īarkley published his memoir, ‘I May Be Wrong, But I Doubt It’ in 2002 through Random House. Christiana Keeps Her Life Low-Key Name Meaning: Christiana Barkley Pretty Christiana Barkley is the daughter of Charles Barkley with Maureen Blumhardt. They eventually became friends and he would often send them tickets to the games. Barkley apologised and reached out to the girl and her family. NBA on TNT NBAonTNT 'If you lose your bet, I get to babysit your grandson for 30 minutes.' SHAQ bet Chuck that the Heat would beat the Nets if they meet in the playoffs Who are Charles. He was subsequently suspended without pay for a game and fined $10,000. In response, Barkley tried to spit on the person but it landed on a little girl. On March 26, 1991, Barkley was playing for the 76ers against the New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets) in New Jersey, when an audience member started to heckle him with racial slurs. He repeatedly told parents and teachers that instead of looking at him to raise their kids, they themselves should be the role models. Throughout his career, he held the view that athletes should not be seen as role models. Regarded as one of the most controversial, outspoken, and dominating players in the history of basketball, Barkley is among the few true legends of the game that have never won an NBA championship. They married in 1989 and their daughter, Christiana, was born in the same year. He averaged 19.1 points and 17.9 rebounds per game and led his team to a 26–3 record en route to the state semi-finals.ĭespite his improvement, Barkley garnered no attention from college scouts until the state high school semi-finals, where he scored 26 points against Alabama’s most highly recruited player, Bobby Lee Hurt.Īn assistant to Auburn University’s head coach, Sonny Smith, was at the game and reported seeing, “a fat guy… who can play like the wind”.īarkley was soon recruited by Smith and majored in business management while attending Auburn University.Ĭharles Barkley met his future wife Maureen Blumhardt in a City Avenue Restaurant sometime in the 1980s.Īt the time, she was a part-time model in the Bucks County, Pennsylvania as well as a legal aide for a non-profit organization. However, during the summer Barkley grew to 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) and earned a starting position on the varsity as a senior. He failed to make the varsity team and was named as a reserve. 18 hours ago &0183 &32 Prince William and Princess Charlotte have become the focus of a new viral video. As a junior, Barkley stood 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) and weighed 220 pounds (100 kg). And the world is going to be a little less happier because he’s not here,” Barkley said.His stepfather was killed in an accident when Charles was 11 years old. Shirley Wang says her family was shocked when Barkley showed up at his funeral in Iowa.Ī video posted on YouTube shows Barkley telling those who gathered to remember Lin Wang that he was blessed to know him. Shortly afterward, Lin Wang was diagnosed with cancer. “They’re, like, ‘How do you know him?’ I said, ‘It’s a long story.’” I said, ‘That’s my boy, Lin,’” Barkley said. Barkley recounted to Shirley Wang on the WBUR show how her father stood out, and friends and family wondered who he was. When Barkley’s mother died in 2015, Lin Wang traveled to Leeds, Alabama, to be at the funeral. Her dad’s co-workers didn’t believe he was actually friends with the basketball legend and would tease him, she said. Over the next couple of years, they would meet up to watch basketball games or hang out on the set of Barkley’s TV show “Inside the NBA,” Shirley Wang said. The two began talking, got dinner and exchanged numbers. Lin Wang, who immigrated from China, approached Barkley when they both happened to be staying at the same Sacramento, California, hotel. The story has been shared widely since it was told last week by the scientist’s daughter on “Only A Game,” an NPR sports show produced by Boston-based WBUR. BOSTON (AP) - A chance meeting in a hotel lobby sparked an unlikely friendship between former NBA star Charles Barkley and a cat litter scientist in Iowa. |
