In an attempt to be better provider to low-income student, the state will choose the tab by taking Advanced Placement exams in technology, science, engineering and math subjects this year after the federal government ended providing dedicated funding.

 

Last week morning, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito announced at an Everett Chamber of Commerce Breakfast that the STEM Advisory Council will cover the costs of coming tests for low-income Massachusetts students, with an allocation of approximately $326,000.

 

“We know this was a great concern for many educators, students and their families, and we are very happy that the STEM Advisory Council agreed to help,” Polito, the advisory council’s co-chair, asserted in a statement.

Very happy to listen to a talk by A C Grayling. 

 

He talked about being kind, and the use of stories and important of literature.

 

He also said that human interaction is important for the self. That's kind of saying interacting with important for human brain development. That's true for language development. 

 

And to be kind. Treat other people like a painting and put them in a "good light". 

 

Also, if one asked what the person's most interested in, you would get a brilliant answer even if this person might not share interest with you in other areas. 

 

So be kind. 


He is also a proud atheist.


During the question and answer session. Someone ask him why he is a militant atheist, and he said there is no such thing. There is no such thing as a "militant non stamp collector.

You are two yous', that of the animal (Human), and that of the Voice (Being). You are responsible for both yous' - caretaker of both. Both require feeding and nurturing. Be balanced, slave to neither.

The Sea Change & Other Stories - Helen Grant

Swan River Press, Ireland

I'm all for supporting small press, independent press, and of course, self-published. Because despite the stigma of seeming 'amateur' or 'vanity', there are creators like myself who take book-making pretty darn seriously, and therefore, try the best to provide a quality product.

 

As you can see, Swan River Press is more than serious! Aren't those rows of hardback titles looking gorgeous? Gothic and horror publisher Swan River Press is in the running for an Arthur Guinness Grant. YOU CAN HELP by voting for them on this page!

Today we have to support our indy creators and businesses with crowd-sourcing like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. If you look at the latest JK Rowlings adventure with masking herself in order to publish a crime novel, it's pretty clear that mainstream entities are not going to gamble on every unknown person's wonderful vision or creation. This is why just ONE VOTE can make a difference, and you are not even spending $$ to do so.

I will probably remind us of this grant now and then until August 23rd, when voting has closed! Thank you all for helping in this competition!

 

The Swan River Press is Ireland's only press devoted to horror and the fantastic. As an independent publisher, we specialise in literature of the gothic, weird, strange, and supernatural, with an increasing emphasis on Ireland's past and present contributions to the genre.

 

Here are their titles and books, with limited run hardcovers and hand-sewn pamphlets: http://www.swanriverpress.ie/titles.html
