The children of immigrants share some common features with the first-generation. Their parents are from a country of origin other than the host country and, as such, bring with them different cultural practices and expectations as well as often bringing another language. Although the second generation is protected by birthright citizenship, some of these students live in mixed-status families and therefore live with concerns about family deportations and family separations. Furthermore, their families may also not access services to which they are entitled as birthright citizens (like preschool, libraries, and health care) as they may not be aware of entitlements or may be concerned about exposing themselves to scrutiny. Second-generation students share many commonalities with first-generation students. Some of these shared characteristics are based on the circumstances related to family socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, and immigration status. Second- generation students, like their first-generation peers may also enter kindergarten without speaking English fluently. They also often contend with anti-immigration sentiments

(sometimes referred to as xenophobia) focused towards their families that are reflected in the media, in neighborhood interactions, in school, and even in the leadership at the highest level of government. Members of the second generation, however, are by birthright, automatically citizens (though they may still fear for the deportation of their parents and other loved ones). They typically have more exposure to English and are often more acculturated than the first-generation or their parents. This situation can sometimes lead to acculturative

gaps and tensions within the family.

The first video is 7 minutes and was recorded on August 11, 2013. Congressman Joel Pritchard, Barney McCallum, and Bill Bell invented the game of pickleball one summer afternoon in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, WA.

Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum are unfortunately no longer with us. USA Pickleball was honored to have Barney attend the Nationals Championships in November, 2013. He was court side for a number of matches and was the special guest speaker at the ambassador's dinner. In addition, Barney was also able to travel to the 2018 Margaritaville USA Pickleball National Championships at the renowned Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The experience of seeing first-hand how far the sport had advanced brought tears to his eyes. We were grateful to Barney for taking the time to attend and provide us, not only with the history, but the reasoning behind many basic rules as well as the origin of the sport's name. We hope you enjoy watching the above videos.

There are at least two popular theories for the origin of the piata. One is that the Aztec celebration of the birth of the god Huitzilopochtli involved a rite using a container similar to the piata. According to Drink Cultura: "During the ceremonies, a feather-covered pot was filled with small treasures and hit with a stick so that its contents spilled at the feet of the idol."

Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European and African-American origin in the United States. Forty-two years before the English colonized Jamestown and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the Spanish established at St. Augustine this nation's first enduring settlement.

The architectural legacy of the city's past is much younger, testimony to the impermanent quality of the earliest structures and to St. Augustine's troubled history. Only the venerable Castillo de San Marcos, completed in the late seventeenth century, survived destruction of the city by invading British forces in 1702.

Vestiges of the First Spanish Colonial Period (1565 to 1764) remain today in St. Augustine in the form of the town plan originally laid out by Governor Gonzalo Mndez de Canzo in the late sixteenth century and in the narrow streets and balconied houses that are identified with the architecture introduced by settlers from Spain. Throughout the modern city and within its Historic Colonial District, there remain thirty-six buildings of colonial origin and another forty that are reconstructed models of colonial buildings.

St. Augustine can boast that it contains the only urban nucleus in the United States whose street pattern and architectural ambiance reflect Spanish origins.

The first of Henry Flagler's three great hotels, the Ponce de Leon, was adapted for use as an institution of higher learning in 1971. As Flagler College, it expanded to embrace a student body of some 1,700 by the end of the century, offering a traditional four-year arts and science degree program. The second of his hotels, the Alcazar, has since 1948 contained the Lightner Museum, (and in 1973 the City of St. Augustine municipal offices). The third Flagler hotel, originally called the Casa Monica, stood vacant for thirty-five years before St. Johns County converted it for use a county courthouse in 1965. In 1999, under private ownership, the building was restored to its original function, and is now the only one of Flagler's three great hotels still serving that purpose.

Many historians believe that fireworks originally were developed in the second century B.C. in ancient Liuyang, China. It is believed that the first natural "firecrackers" were bamboo stalks that when thrown in a fire, would explode with a bang because of the overheating of the hollow air pockets in the bamboo. The Chinese believed these natural "firecrackers" would ward off evil spirits.

Cannabis has a long and colourful history. The use of cannabis originated in central Asia or western China. Cannabis has been used for its alleged healing properties for millennia. The first documented case of its use dates back to 2800 BC, when it was listed in the Emperor Shen Nung's (regarded as the father of Chinese medicine) pharmacopoeia. Therapeutic indications of cannabis are mentioned in the texts of the Indian Hindus, Assyrians, Greeks and Romans. These texts reported cannabis to treat a vast array of different health problems, including arthritis, depression, amenorrhea, inflammation, pain, lack of appetite and asthma.

There are several myths about the origin of ice cream. Some say Marco Polo brought it back from his travels to the Far East. Others say that Catherine de Medici introduced it to France when she relocated to marry King Henry II. Neither tale is likely to be true, though both are romantic. In fact, ice cream has a much more ancient history. Its earliest form holds very little resemblance to the ice cream we eat today. Biblical passages refer to King Solomon enjoying cooling iced drinks during harvest season. Alexander the Great of ancient Greece loved to indulge in icy drinks flavored with honey or wine. During Neros reign of Rome from 54 68 BC, ice was harvested from nearby mountains and held in ice housesdeep pits covered with straw. This practice of keeping ice in lieu of refrigeration would be common for centuries to come.

The ICC was originally composed of the four presidents of CPISRA, IBSA, ISMGF and ISOD, the general secretaries and one additional member (in the beginning it was the Vice-President, and later on the Technical Officer).

The Presidents Alliance on Higher Education, the American Immigration Council, and the Migration Policy Institute hosted a webinar on Wednesday to discuss data enrollment trends of two new research and policy reports that provides new data for immigrant-origin students in higher education.

"[Immigrant-origin] students are not from the other side of the moon. They're like all other students in fundamental ways," said Dr. Marcelo Surez-Orozco,Dr. Marcelo Surez-Orozco is the chancellor of the University of Massachusetts, Boston. chancellor of the University of Massachusetts, Boston. "They bring an entire ecology of talents and of grit and of perseverance that is truly remarkable."

Included in the report was a breakdown of the demographics of this population. Immigrant-origin students represent one of the most diverse student populations in higher education. About 44% of immigrant-origin students are Latinos, 24% are Asian American and Pacific Islander students, and 13% are Black students. Among students from U.S. born families, the racial and ethnic makeup were significantly smaller, under 30%, while non-Latino whites made up 70%.

Among recommendations from the panel, community engagement, hiring immigrant origin faculty, and advocating for economic resources to assist students were highlighted. Leani Garca Torres, chief of staff for the American Immigration Council, said that tuition is often a significant barrier for undocumented students.

"If we throw [immigrant-origin students] in, they might not land the way in the way we want," said Batalova. "It's so important to understand that how we talk about these powerful data points has to be nuanced. It has to reflect where people are coming from."

National Black History Month has its origins in 1915, when historian and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. This organization is now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History External (ASALH). Through this organization, Dr. Woodson initiated the first Negro History Week in February 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the week in February that included the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two key figures in the history of Black Americans.

The U.S. Department of Education lists 4,298 degree granting post-secondary institutions in the United States. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), there were a total of 1,626 public colleges, 1,687 private nonprofit colleges and 985 for-profit colleges in Fall 2017. HBCUs represent 2.3% of this total, with 101 institutions. The only other ethnic-specific minority serving institutions, Native American/tribal institutions, of which NCES lists 17, represent .395% of the post-secondary institutions in the U.S. HBCUs established in the late 1800s originally provided limited education and training options for students of African descent, either free-born or emancipated slaves. Many focused on teaching, theology, and industrial arts to provide an educational foundation to support economic independence and self-sustainability. Since that time, HBCUs have developed programs, majors, course offerings that now shape how HBCUs are defined. Most of these institutions (59%) offer only undergraduate degrees and 41% offers graduate degrees, with 28% awarding doctoral degrees. e24fc04721
