Waching daily Jan 31 2019

The early public education model served Texas well, and successfully fulfilled the vision

of a different age by delivering a general education to the masses.

That vision and model aren't broken, but the Texas Economy is changing.

Access to information is expanding; the make-up of our citizenry is shifting; and, today,

Texans have higher expectations of our schools.

Now, a fresh vision for public education is rising, and Raise Your Hand Texas is leading

the charge on multiple fronts.

It's a vision of student-centered learning, a vision of engaged families and communities,

of prepared and empowered teachers in every classroom, and strong school leaders at the

helm of every school.

A vision of advocacy to ensure all kids have a fair shot at success.

"Blended Learning isn't just another district initiative; it is a fundamental redesign of

the instructional model in the classroom."

"If you're not creating relationships with the families in your community, then you're

not going to be successful."

"What Havard has done for us is give us a fresh way of knowledge to reframe our thinking,

and really, really put all this passion, all this energy, all this knowledge to really

come together to make a difference in our community."

"I feel like a lot of people forget that they are where they are at due to the long line

of educators, that at some point, made a difference in their life."

The desire for a strong public education system dates back to the founding of our state and

stood as a core value in the Texas Declaration of Independence.

That value remains as critical to our future as ever.

To achieve the results Texans expect, we must invest in all students, support educator efforts

to innovate for all students, and give our schools what they need to improve for all

students.

Strengthening and improving public education takes all of us, so join Raise Your Hand Texas

in reinventing public education for the future.

Because the future of Texas is in our public schools.

A LOT OF AG-

RELATED STORIES

ARE -FEEL-GOOD-

STORIES, AND

THAT'S DEFINITELY

TRUE FOR THE

STORY YOU'RE

ABOUT TO WATCH.

TRACY BLACKMER

AND MICHELLE

BOOK ARE TWO

IOWANS WORKING

TOGETHER TO

MAKE SURE

EVERYONE HAS

SOMETHING TO

EAT, THOUGH EVEN

IN THE LAND OF

TALL CORN, THAT

CAN BE A TALL

ORDER.

BUT IOWA HAS

SOMETHING SOME

STATES DON'T -- A

SPECIAL INCENTIVE

FOR THOSE WHO

DONATE FOOD.

HERE'S JOSH

BUETTNER WITH

MORE.

[P-

PACKAGE

IOWA IS A TOP

PRODUCER OF

COMMODITIES LIKE

CORN AND

SOYBEANS THAT

FIND THEIR WAY TO

PORTS OF CALL

ACROSS THE

GLOBE. BUT ONE

HAWKEYE STATE

GROWER IS

EMPLOYING SOME

OF THE RICHEST

SOIL ON EARTH TO

PROVIDE A VARIETY

OF FRESH FOOD

ITEMS FOR THOSE

LESS FORTUNATE A

LITTLE CLOSER TO

HOME.

TRACY BLACKMER,

GARDENING FOR

GOOD MADRID,

IOWA: "There's no

reason in a place like

Iowa, we can't grow

enough of certain

vegetables during

times of the year like

this to give everybody

the food they need."

A SOIL SCIENTIST

BY TRADE, TRACY

BLACKMER

CONVERTED A HOG

OPERATION NEAR

MADRID INTO

GARDENING FOR

GOOD, A NON-

PROFIT

ORGANIZATION

THAT EDUCATES

YOUTH AND

CORPORATE

VOLUNTEERS

ABOUT

AGRICULTURE AND

COMMUNITY

SERVICE.

TRACY BLACKMER:

"Anyone know what

the name of these

are?"

STUDENT

OFFSCREEN :

"Dibbles?"

TRACY BLACKMER:

"Yep. Dibbles or

dibblers... What are

they used for besides

killing vampires?"

TRACY BLACKMER:

"More and more kids

are further removed

from the farm than

ever. And even

though this is rural

Iowa, and there are

farms all around, most

kids still couldn't even

tell you what a

soybean plant is."

ACTIVE IN HIS

LOCAL CHURCH

AND ACCUSTOMED

TO LENDING A

HELPING HAND, THE

GENESIS OF

BLACKMER'S

CHARITY WAS

GEARED TOWARD

ASSISTING A FOOD

PANTRY RUN BY HIS

MOTHER. THE

INITIAL HARVEST

WAS SO ABUNDANT,

IT FILLED THE

SHELVES OF THREE

ADDITIONAL

PANTRIES, AND

THEN SOME.

TRACY BLACKMER:

"...And she's like, well,

you can bring it to the

Food Bank, I bet. I bet

you they'd take it.

Uh...what's a food

bank? You know, I

didn't know what that

was. So I said sure."

IN NEARBY DES

MOINES, THE FOOD

BANK OF IOWA

ACTS AS A GO-

BETWEEN FOR

OVER 500 SMALLER

PANTRIES AND

OTHER PARTNERS

WHO ASSIST FOOD

INSECURE IOWANS.

MICHELLE BOOK,

CEO FOOD BANK

OF IOWA: "He

expanded the program

and started bringing

the produce to the

Food Bank of Iowa

because we have

many more distribution

opportunities than he

would as an

individual."

CEO MICHELLE

BOOK SAYS HER

ORGANIZATION

MOVES OVER ONE

MILLION POUNDS OF

FOOD MONTHLY,

MORE THAN HALF

OF WHICH IS

DONATED, AND

THEY'RE ALWAYS

LOOKING TO

SUPPLEMENT NON-

PERISHABLES WITH

LEAN PROTEIN AND

FRESH PRODUCE.

MICHELLE BOOK:

"One of the things

Tracy is most brilliant

about is, is considering

what to plant. And we

received from him last

year melons, peppers,

squash...things that

are easily

transportable and

have a decent shelf

life."

FOR FRONTLINE

PARTNERS LIKE

CATHOLIC

CHARITIES, WHICH

ACT AS A RETAILER

OF SORTS TO THE

FOOD BANK'S

WHOLESALER

ROLE, THE ABILITY

TO OFFER FRESH

FOOD OPTIONS FOR

FREE IS A BIG DEAL.

AND THOSE

DEPENDENT ON

THEIR SERVICES

ARE GRATEFUL FOR

BLACKMER'S

EFFORTS.

JACQLINE

STEVENSON, DES

MOINES, IOWA: "I

think it's great that he

can take the time and

do it for the ones that

need it and can use it.

Saves me a lot of

money, lots of it, and

the nutrition from it."

THE FOOD BANK

OF IOWA SAYS THEY

RECEIVED OVER

125,000 POUNDS OF

PRODUCE FROM

GARDENING FOR

GOOD FOLLOWING

THE LAST GROWING

SEASON - AND THAT

AMOUNT HAS BEEN

ON THE RISE EVERY

YEAR OVER THE

PAST FIVE YEARS.

BOOK ADDS THAT

JUST LIKE ON THE

FARM, VOLUNTEERS

ARE THEIR

LIFEBLOOD.

MICHELLE BOOK:

"We can't do anything

without volunteer

assistance. And Tracy

has been really, really

smart - he knows

certainly how to

engage them around

the work of helping

those that are food

insecure."

SINCE 2014, THE

STATE OF IOWA HAS

OFFERED AN

ANNUAL FARM TO

TAX CREDIT OF 15

PERCENT, UP TO

$5000, FOR ELIGIBLE

FARM OPERATIONS

DONATING SELF-

OTHER EMERGENCY

FEEDING

ORGANIZATIONS.

BLACKMER HAS

UTILIZED HIS

RESEARCH TRIAL

EXPERTISE AND

THE TAX CREDIT

OPTION TO HELP

CONVINCE A

HANDFUL OF OTHER

PRODUCERS TO

PITCH IN.

TRACY BLACKMER:

"The model is scalable

for some things.

There's a lot of people

that have that patch of

something that maybe

is the point rows that

are hard to get at...or,

for whatever reason,

there's that nice little

area that's separate.

But it's a really good

reinforcement for

landowners and/or the

farmers to do that."

THOUGH

BLACKMER

CLASSIFIES HIS 20

ACRES AS A HOBBY

FARM, HE'S

ADAPTED IT TO

REAP BENEFITS

FROM CHALLENGES

LARGE

NEIGHBORING

OPERATIONS FACE,

AND HELP CLEAN

TRACY BLACKMER:

"There's about 2,500

acres that drain into

this. And of course, a

lot of the tile drainage

water, especially in the

spring and the early

part of the season

have a reasonable

amount of nitrates in it.

So as we're watering,

we're actually catching

some of that and

fertilizing with it, into

there, so we're actually

helping to pull out

some of the nitrates in

that."

GARDENING FOR

DEAL VERY CLOSE – Man United line-up transfer swoop for £90m-valued star ahead of deadline - Duration: 2:04.

 Premier League giant Manchester United are allegedly considering a swoop for Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho after holding talks concerning the state of the side's team with interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

 The England international winger has shone like million stars during his time in the German Bundesliga, having made a surprise transfer from Premier League champions Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund as a starlet

 And now, as per the Metro, Jadon Sancho is though to be open to a return to English top flight as the Red Devils set their attention on a possible transfer for the 18-year-old attacker, worth at about £90m

 Jadon Sancho looks like he could be a perfect ideal Red Devil acquisition, with his incredible pace and direct attacking play making him a kind of talent similar to current Manchester United and French forwards Anthony Martial and England international attacker Marcus Rashford

 Bringing in more speed into this club, specifically on the right side, looks a good swoop for Manchester United to hand them further options across the field, whilst possibly also replacing Alexis Sanchez  who has been unconvincing up front

 The South American has been a massive disappointment since linking up with the Red Devils from North london giants Arsenal, and Jadon Sancho presently seems like he'd be a major upgrade

 The Metro suggest Red devils chiefs have spoken with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about the condition of the team he inherited from Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho, and that looks to have led to the end inside the side that the right wing is a role that needs reinforcement, along with backline

ISIS call for terror attack on Mariah Carey concert in Saudi Arabia tomorrow night - Duration: 3:34.

Islamic State terrorists have urged fanatical followers to bomb a Mariah Carey concert in Saudi Arabia in their latest campaign of online hate

The pop superstar, 48, is performing in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Thursday night as part of the nation's first international golf tournament, according to Arab News and radicals have been urged to stop the event which is seen to extremists as un-Islamic

Images circulating on social media have suggested ISIS terrorists want the concert to be targeted

Badly edited images of an Islamic State flag on a promotional poster were shared by concerned supporters after being found online

Fans have urged Mariah to cancel her performance.In the last week of September a pro-Islamic State (ISIS) media group called Al-Abd Al-Faqir Media released images of a western style concert being attacked

The image features a jihadist wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, holding a grenade in his right hand

'We have prepared for you what never crossed your mind, for our goal is to horrify you and terrorize you and harm you,' it states

A week later a similar threat came from Remah Media showing a man in a suit jacket with a large knife behind his back at a concert

The poster said: 'Wait for our surprises.' A month later a message followed saying: 'Your brothers in your lands have absolved themselves of blame, so leap onto their tracks and take an example from their actions, and know that Jannah [paradise] is beneath the shadows of swords

' Mariah Carey is one act in a star studded line up which includes Dutch DJ Tiesto, Yemeni-Emirati singer Balqees Fathi and Jamaican rapper Sean Paul

The US pop princess was criticsed by women's rights activists over the planned Saudi performance

Women said she should not be performing in solidarity with females suffering oppression in the Kingdom

Feminist and journalist Mona Eltahawy wrote on Twitter: 'Dear @MariahCarey, I hear you're planning on performing in #Saudi Arabia: are you aware that women's rights activists have been detained without charge since May 2018 & tortured at the orders of Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman?'

UNDERWATER Battle Royale in Real Life inside BACKYARD POOL (Searching for Game Master Clues) - Duration: 11:59.

I'm not sure where we're at right now the last thing I remember is we were in

an escape room in real life and our cameraman Daniel trapped us in a room

Matt do you remember anything else

it just looks like clouds or on a plane going somewhere we don't know where look

at that it says to Hawaiian Airlines but if we're going to Hawaii do you remember

when we solve that puzzle Sam camp and instead of a why I act clothes for you

for warmer weather daniel has arranged a car to pick you up late some Daniel set

this whole thing up but the escape room was a trap to get us here to Hawaii Kai

with Daniel sent us here she said she was helping us wise comment below do you

think Daniel is good or if Daniel is bad what if he's working for the quadrant

the contract could be someone that's on this plane or it could be multiple

people in arrow Sam Pham is Stephen share and gray share what are they doing

on the flight

you guys remember the leis that we have on the table Matt the laser on them

right now I'm pretty sure those were the tules are on the table Matt remember we

put these on it looks like they're sleeping

it looks like we're landing right now we're gonna get on crown and we're gonna

say why exactly we're here buttons right now

you see when we land we should talk to Stephen and Grace and try to figure out

what they're doing here too so the message said that we had some clothes

for warmer weather match remember my suitcase

maybe it's up in one of the comment below your suitcase will be up there if

you think whoever did this to us and put our luggage on here and that's what the

clue was

let's go

we're gonna eat it too hot in here I hope here other close to changing

he master said we did so I'm hoping there's like a tank top or some like

that means someone had you have gone to our house to pack this the gamemaster

must have done this or Daniel that's a good disguise be able to see we don't

want Stephen and grace to know that werster so if you leave like I know why

go like easy to just go in the car we just keep walking a plain good at home I

don't know we must be here for some reason maybe it's something that will

lead us to the event date I don't know I think we have to go that we're here

4 Things Rules For Achieving Peace and Justice | Bryan Stevenson - Duration: 3:31.

I want to affirm how you don't have to be embarrassed

to say I'm trying to change the world.

I think we can change the world.

And I have a simple little prescription.

I think there are four things

that we're going to have to think about.

The first thing we're going to have to commit ourselves

to getting and staying proximate to the people

who are poor and suffering and marginalized.

We think we can change the world by staying

just on Harvard's campus, by staying in places

of power and privilege, staying just in our elected offices.

If we care about injustice, if we care about inequality,

if we care about poverty, if we care about disability,

if we care about addiction and dependency,

we're going to have to get close enough

to those who are poor and excluded and neglected,

addicted and dependent to understand

the nature of that problem.

Second thing we're going to have to do

is we're going to have to change these narratives.

We have mass incarceration in America

because we declared a misguided war on drugs.

We said that people who are drug addicted

and drug dependent are criminals.

For alcoholism, we said that's a disease.

And if you know somebody who's an alcoholic

and you see them going to a bar,

you don't think oh, we better call the police.

We have a different framework.

But for addiction and dependency,

we said those are criminals

and we've locked up hundreds and thousands of people.

Now, I think that narrative has to change,

because I think what allowed us,

what made us comfortable with those policy choices

is what I call the politics of fear and anger.

And I'm here to tell you that if we allow ourselves

to be governed by fear and anger,

we're gonna tolerate things we're not supposed to tolerate.

That's how you get comfortable with inequality.

That's how you get comfortable with injustice.

That's how you get comfortable abusing people

in ways that are clearly indecent and wrong.

You do it because you've been given a narrative

of fear and anger that makes you think

that that's justifiable.

The third thing we're going to have to do is

we're going to have to stay hopeful.

You have to protect your hope quotient, your hope dynamic.

Because sometimes being in spaces like this

can rattle you.

The faculty are brilliant, but they're trying to

complicate the world for you.

And sometimes, when the world starts to get complicated,

you lose hope that you can do the things

you thought you could do.

You begin to actually no longer believe

that that world changing thing

you were hoping to achieve, you can achieve.

And so while you are dealing with

the complexity of the world, you're going to have to

affirmatively work on protecting your hope.

Your hope is vital to your capacity to change the world.

I actually believe that hopelessness

is the enemy of justice.

And justice prevails where hopelessness persists.

The fourth and final thing we're going to have to do

and this is a hard one, we're going to have to do things

that are uncomfortable and inconvenient,

because we do not change the world

by only doing the things

that are comfortable and convenient.

And I hate that because we're humans,

and humans are biologically and psychologically programmed

to do what's comfortable, we like comfort.

And that means that we're going to have to make a choice

to do uncomfortable things to change things.

I tried to research my way out of this, I did,

as a faithful alum of this university,

I looked and did some research.

And I tried to find an example where justice prevailed,

where equality triumphed, and nobody had to do

anything uncomfortable or inconvenient.

Can't find any examples of that.

I've learned really simple things during my work.

I believe that each of us is more than the worst thing

we've ever done, I believe that for every human being.

I think if someone tells a lie, they're not just a liar.

I think even if you kill someone, you're not just a killer.

And justice requires that we know the other things

we are before we judge you.
