Issaquah High School is closed after exposure to measles: It turns out that all school kids have their MMR vaccines up to date, but one staff member is one of five confirmed measles cases in the area. Now, the school needs to look at all the staff to make sure no one else gets measles before they can let the kids go back to school. At the time I went to high school, we had snowy days, local holidays and even an occasional bomb scare to leave school, but not once did we have a day of leave because a teacher had caught measles.
Non-profit housing receives $ 15 million donation to build high-rise buildings for the homeless: Plymouth Housing will use this money to build three permanent supportive housing complexes in the Lower Queen Anne International District and Cherry Hill, totaling 300 units. Homes with permanent support services are different from shelters in that they are permanent or at least long-term. It is expensive, but in the end much more efficient and above all crucial to serve clients with a disability or mental illness, according to the Seattle weather. If, like me, you think "how on earth are they going to build that with only $ 15 million?" Do not worry, they have many more checks with a lot of zeros from other fundraisers.
The public will have a glimpse of Donald Trump's financial disclosure today.: No, not his tax returns, different tax documents that shed more light on how much money he has now. Following the New York Times & # 39; Report that Trump has lost more than a billion dollars in a decade, more than any other American, and that it is important for some people to know how much money the big guy has. Although we have an overview of his finances today, the legal battle to get his tax returns continues in the courts and in the House.
The Seattle International Film Festival begins today! If you do not go, cancel all your projects and change it, because they have a whole series of movies that pass every month (you know it's the the biggest film festival, no?). Check-out L & # 39; abroadSIFF Guide. Come on, take a break to watch the reruns of Office and engage to read fucking subtitles.
Do you feel guilty about living on Duwamish land? Yes, me too, but we can do something about it: you can start paying rent. Consider the Duwamish as the ultimate owner of real estate in Seattle. Today, an organization called Real Rent Duwamish has set up a nonprofit organization to allow you to send your rent check once a year or even monthly. No, it does not solve the history of cultural genocide against aboriginal peoples, but it serves the double purpose of raising funds ($ 300,000 in total since 2017, not too bad) and recognizing the history of Duwamish.
The SAT will provide an "adversity score" based on elements such as race, socio-economic background: Standardized tests are silent and do not predict success in real life. That said, as they have just passed the GRE, they are really very important to enter the university and graduate school. The SAT will now provide the colleges with a new metric that they call an adversity score that is essentially a measure of privilege. Did this student attend a very criminal high school? Did their parents go to college? How much do their families earn? What race are they? All these questions are taken into account in this score. Colleges do not necessarily have to use adversity scores, but it is a reality that the standardized test game is rigged against children who can not afford to prepare for the test.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announces his candidacy for the presidential election: How ridiculous that we are still more than a year away from the 2020 election and that my first reaction is "too late". De Blasio is positioned as a tough New Yorker with a progressive track record that can tackle Trump. Here is his ad video, you know how much I like a good video ad.
It's official … New York mayor Bill de Blasio is running for president of the United States.

What was the weather yesterday? So good. I spent all morning outside so I was ready to relax by the time it started to rain. Today, it will look great with maybe a little more rain.
Another series of rain today with a possible convergence zone later today until Friday. A brief break for most of us on Saturday, although some showers are still possible along the coast. pic.twitter.com/TBy8yetx7B

There is an application for that: Researchers at the University of Washington have created an application capable of detecting ear infection, the scourge of the existence of each parent. Your child does not stop shouting because his ear looks to be on fire, but you can not do much. You can now at least diagnose the problem in the comfort of your own home. It basically works like a sonar with the loudspeaker sending soft chirps that the microphone then picks up to see if there is a build-up of fluid behind the eardrum. I can not wait to see the application that will tell me if I have a heart attack or if I simply feel the effects of six cups of coffee.
Now, listen here you $ #!%: Why play the six-string guitar when you can have eight?
