W!se, which stands for Working in Support of Education, is an educational nonprofit based in New York City that offers programs for young people and at-risk adults related to financial education and college and career readiness.

W!se recently announced the development of a cloud-based mobile app for use by students at high schools participating in W!se’s financial literacy certification program. The app provides a database of questions so students can take practice tests and quizzes online in preparation for W!se’s Financial Literacy Certification Test.

From the NY Times (for me to remember to look up a replay... hopefully others too can take time to see their performances!)

Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France, the four-time world champions, won the gold medal for the ice dance after falling just short at the 2018 Olympics.

I've seen a few events and every time am inspired to think about getting outdoors, doing a bit more walking or physical activity with a sense of being on a winning team.

The complaint: https://bit.ly/3i7kEx8 https://pic.twitter.com/N2Ld26wDDg is an eye opener...Women putting forth the cause for safety with their children when seeking protection from abuse especially when systems and courts are weighing in.

Most people think,"Doesn't that just happen already? Haven't there been agencies and resources to support women to get out safely with their kids immediately and for the long haul?"

There may be some of that but it's not a guarantee, and no the courts have been found to be horribly remiss!

Let's Hold Hands can be the Mantra for Adults and Kids Going Places, Doing Things and Getting Back to Cars and Places Safely!

Here's something that prompted my response...A Roadside Sign With A Funny Thought: Shouldn't there be another word for Thesaurus?!

Someone chimed in that "lexicon" and 'vocabulary" came to mind. Others said they liked the signs and spirit in which they were shared. I agree...then added the following series of thoughts and since I'm an open book, you get to be on that thread.
