What is Bracketology??
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bracketology is the process of predicting the field of college basketball participants in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, named as such because it is commonly used to fill in tournament brackets for the postseason.
Bracketology also encompasses the process of predicting the winners of each of the brackets.
In recent years the concept of bracketology has been applied to areas other than basketball.

Every time they make smells like OUTHOUSE, GYM SOCK, and ARMPIT, poor Bud ends up smelling like FLOWERS, or FRESH-BAKED BREAD, or CANDY CANE.
Stinking just isn't Bud's THING. But what IS his thing?

Designer Giorgia Lupi wants to change the way we think about data — far from being cold facts and numbers, it can be warm and often flawed. Follow her step-by-step instructions to generate a data-driven perspective on the person you know best: you.
How We Can Find ourselves in Data
Using data not only to become more efficient , but also to become more humane.
I definitely believe that reading can change us and shape us in so many ways, and through it we can be exposed to people and places and ideas that we might not otherwise come across or confront in real life. A platform about the importance of reading and having conversations across the lines of books is really important to me.
— Jacqueline Woodson, novelist, poet, and the 2018-2019 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature
Jacqueline Woodson, novelist, poet, and the 2018-2019 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, invites YOU to join her in exploring books for knowledge, for growth, for fun! Books and stories to read, discuss, and share. She has created a new reading equation –
Reading = HOPE x CHANGE
– and asks you to have fun answering, What’s Your Equation?
Woodson says,
For young people who are very stressed about the future, who have this sense of disempowerment, who don’t know what’s coming next, my big quest is for them to remain hopeful. When you come to literature, it does allow you an escape from the world if that’s what you need, but it also changes you. You’re different than when you started that book.

Can You Match These Children's Book Covers To The Famous Children's Story?
SIX WORD MEMOIR PROJECT - SMITH MAGAZINE
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
In November 2006, Larry Smith,founder of SMITH Magazine, gave the six-word novel a personal twist by asking his community to describe their lives in exactly six words.
Since then, Six-Word Memoir project has become a global phenomenon and a bestselling book series. Six-Word Memoirs have been featured in hundreds of media outlets from NPR to The New Yorker, covered on tens of thousands of blogs, and, as of Summer 2010, can be found inside 1 million Honest Tea bottle caps.
With Friday the 13th looming this April, along with Mercury in retrograde, bad luck is on the brain. For a Six Word challenge, tell a story about bad luck in exactly six words.
If you'd like to share a backstory (love reading them!), be sure to submit your entry as a six word story and include the backstory as a caption in the google doc draft area.
