Hypothetical Minnesota Common Grant Proposal Rya AdlerRya Adler
Lighted School House LLC was established in 2000 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to provide after-school programs that empower students socially and academically, especially those from low-income families. It currently operates programs in 8 schools serving over 500 students. The organization seeks funding to expand staffing and better serve students, with the goal of improving academic performance as measured by test scores and grades.
The document discusses ways to improve primary education in India. It notes that over 1 billion Indians are aged 0-10, but 60% of students fail higher classes after primary school due to low skills and decision-making abilities. Recommendations include establishing better-funded day boarding schools with facilities like vocational training, counseling, healthcare, and infrastructure improvements. Developing interpersonal skills and physical education in primary curriculums is also suggested, as is utilizing youth volunteers and linking extracurricular activities to grades. The key issues are ensuring students gain practical life skills along with academics and improving retention after primary school.
Dropout rates are higher for girls in India compared to boys and for children from disadvantaged social groups. Failure to complete secondary education widens social and economic inequalities. The factors contributing to dropout are multi-faceted, including poverty, low education levels of parents, domestic problems, poor school environment, teacher quality, and failure or repetition in school. Both economic challenges and school-related issues are important reasons for students dropping out of secondary education in India. Preventive measures need to address the diverse needs of at-risk students and improve their access to schooling facilities.

This research aims to understand the gap in literacy levels between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in Australia. The researcher created a questionnaire to gather opinions from industry professionals on why this gap exists and how teacher training and government funding schemes have addressed this issue. The questionnaire was distributed by email to teachers, education organization employees, and teacher aides. The responses indicated that most participants were aware of lower literacy scores for Indigenous students on NAPLAN assessments. While some funding is provided to schools, respondents displayed limited knowledge of specific programs supported. Many felt programs like Multi-Lit and Mini-Lit have helped when implemented consistently. Most participants believed they did not have adequate opportunities to further their skills in teaching Indigenous students literacy.
A study on low performing indian students in secondary schoolsjayapratha9

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
