Kids are suspended\, expelled or arrested for minor off enses that in the past might have been handled in the school environment.\ nCritics often point to zero-tolerance policies and the increased presence of police on campus as contributing factors to the problem. Others accuse educators of pushing out students who don’t perform as well. Additional ly\, children of color and those with a history of abuse\, neglect or pove rty are the most affected by the issue. The growth of the school-to-prison pipeline also contributes to the larger crisis of overcrowding in America n prisons.\nWJCT's Melissa Ross and WJXT4 The Local Station/News4Jax's Tar ik Minor will co-host this live\, event\, simulcasting on WJCT-TV\, WJCT 8 9.9 and WJXT on August 14th at 8pm from WJCT Studios.

Debt of Honor takes an unflinching look at the reality of warfare and disability\, and features interviews with some of the country’s mo st prominent disabled veterans\, including Representative Tammy Duckworth\ , former Georgia Senator Max Cleland and former Commander of Fort Belvoir Gregory Gadson. Combined with a deep history as narrated by leading schola rs in the fields of disability studies\, history and psychology\, the film palpably illustrates the human cost of war and sacrifices of military ser vice. It is brought to life through carefully curated stills and archival footage from archives across the country.\n\nAs advances in field medicine markedly reduce the number of deaths on the battlefield\, more veterans a re coming home with severe injuries. These soldiers carry both visible and invisible scars of war\, and their readjustment back into civilian life is often complicated by the psychological trauma and physical wounds susta ined in battle. Today\, with the United States fighting the longest war in its history\, it has become imperative to create a bridge between civilia ns and soldiers\, forging ties with the 1% of Americans who comprise the n ation’s military. Debt of Honor seeks to understand the societal percept ion of soldiers and the wars they fight. Above all\, it seeks to build a n ew bridge between military and civilian cultures in the United States\, to inspire an important dialogue about how Americans treat their veterans\, and to impart a message of compassion and mutual understanding.\n\n\n6PM t o 7PM - Welcome Reception\n7PM to 9PM - Screening & Discussion\n\n\nAdmiss ion is free\, but space is limited.\n\nTune in for the complete broadcast of Debt of Honor on WJCT 7.1 Tuesday\, November 10 at 9pm.\n\n[call_to_act ion background_color="FFF3C0" color="red" background_pattern="stripes-dark " button_color="orange" button_text="Click Here!" text_color="545454" butt on_url="http://debtofhonor.eventbrite.com"]Reserve your seat today![/call_ to_action]\n\n[divider/ ]\n\nSponsored by:\n[column size="1/3"]\n\n[/colu mn]\n[column size="1/3"]\n\n[/column]\n[column size="1/3 last"]\n\n[/colum n] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wjct.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ doh_event_image_960x480_01.png CATEGORIES:Screenings LOCATION:WJCT Studios\, 100 Festival Park Avenue\, Jacksonville\, Florida\, 32202\, United States GEO:30.320044;-81.636833 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=100 Festival Park Avenue\, Jacksonville\, Florida\, 32202\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE= WJCT Studios:geo:30.320044,-81.636833 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:52@wjct.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20151112T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20151112T213000 DTSTAMP:20160111T172910Z URL:https://www.wjct.org/events/discussion-2/duvalschools/ SUMMARY:Nikolai Vitti and the Future of Duval Schools DESCRIPTION:WJCT's "Community Thread" invites the community to join in one big conversation about the topics affecting us most.

The idea of adding arts to the equation (STEAM) has been gaining mom entum\, as advocates believe that sparking students’ imagination and cre ativity is crucial to the innovation economy. STEM supporters argue that i ncluding arts could dilute the core STEM focus.

Portions of that article are excerpted below.\n\n\n5:30PM - Registration & Reception\n6:15 - 7:15PM - Program\nLight Refreshments Pro vided\n\n\nUnprecedented Retirement Challenges\n\n“We live in an era tha t is unprecedented since 1950 in terms of the extraordinary economic chall enges that face a person preparing for retirement. For the vast majority o f us\, there will be no pensions similar to those that have provided incom e throughout the remaining lifetime of past retirees. Instead\, we have de fined contribution plans whose returns can be positive or negative\, depen ding on our investment prowess or (mostly) sheer luck (or lack thereof). ”\n\nFixed Income Uncertain\n\n“The safety net we have backing us is s hredded. We have an overburdened social security system that thrived in pa st decades on the backs of an ever-increasing working population. My gener ation (the “boomers”) spent much of its resources on funding the previ ous generation\, who were provided huge social security benefits relative to their payments into the system. We also had to fund our own benefits\, yet our payments have been diverted for general federal expenditures and l eft us with little more than an unfunded promise. The next generation is u nlikely to be willing or able to fund us\, as they are much smaller relati ve to the number of people who will be entering retirement. (There used to be 8 workers for each retiree\, but shortly we will have only 2.5 workers per retiree.)”\n\nHow Professor Babbel Himself has Planned for the Chal lenges\n\n“In this talk\, I will explain my own approach to dealing with the approaching challenges. I recognize that it reflects my own risk tole rance (which is low) and my own circumstances. It is not a perfect plan\, nor is it a foolproof plan\, yet it is the best that I could come up with for my wife and me and it might have some applicability for others who fac e similar circumstances.”\n\nWhat are Professor Babbel’s Qualification s?\n\n“My own background might provide a useful backdrop to understand m y choices. I received a B.A. in economics\, an MBA in international financ e and a PhD in finance. I have taught investments courses\, fixed income\, portfolio management and insurance courses since 1978\, when I began my a cademic career at the university of California at Berkeley. After serving on that faculty for six years\, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in r isk and insurance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and became a professor there\, where I taught courses both in finance and insurance. I have published over 100 books and articles on investment and insurance topics\, most of which were peer reviewed. I consulted with some of the largest financial institutions in the world\, and have also consul ted various government organizations\, including the Treasury\, Federal Re serve\, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency\, Commodity Futures Trad ing Commission\, Department of Labor\, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporatio n\, and others. I took a leave of absence from Wharton beginning in 1987 a nd worked on Wall street at Goldman Sachs. My time there was divided acros s several departments\, including the Financial Strategies Group\, the Fix ed Income Division\, the Pension and Insurance Department\, and Goldman Sa chs Asset Management. Later\, in the 90’s\, I took a second leave of abs ence and worked as a Senior Financial Economist at the World Bank\, where I helped developing countries strengthen their capital and retirement mark ets. I returned to Wharton and continued there until I became a Professor Emeritus a few years ago (although I still teach there occasionally) and e ntered the consulting world\, where I continue to conduct research and adv ise financial firms. My specialty is helping financial firms invest in suc h a way that their economic risk is minimized in the face of volatile mark et conditions. This is accomplished through the creation of asset-liabilit y matching and dynamic hedging strategies such that their assets and liabi lities move in value in the same direction and by the same amounts under v arious economic scenarios. My point in rehearsing this background is that I should be reasonably equipped to manage my own investments during retire ment\, yet I choose not to\, for reasons I will discuss in this talk.”\n \nCreating a Simple\, Conservative Solution to a Complex\, Risky Problem\n \n“The situation I faced a couple of years ago was that I was rapidly ap proaching retirement age\, and the investment world was undergoing a trans formation that made it most difficult to plan for retirement. I had only a small pension from Berkeley ($900/month\, complete with the full faith an d credit of California standing behind it!) as well as the university equi valent of a 401(k) from Wharton. And\, of course\, I have social security\ , which is a system that has been skewed to subsidize the poor. Although I had built up a reasonably gracious lifestyle\, I recognized that to maint ain it in retirement\, I would have to supplement those resources. As I tu rned to my academic colleagues from Berkeley\, Wharton and elsewhere\, and my Wall Street colleagues\, it quickly became apparent that there was no consensus among those who specialize in investments about what should be d one. Indeed\, I found that many were just as bewildered as I was. I consul ted with other investment professionals as well\, but found their suggesti ons often did not address the main problems that I faced in a manner consi stent with my low tolerance for risk. Many had no ideas at all regarding h ow to deal with the mess that we face. Among those who did have suggestion s\, they amounted to risky bets on continued low interest rates\, spiking interest rates\, deflation\, hyperinflation\, precious metals\, real estat e\, junk bonds\, hedge funds\, private equity\, stock market bubbles\, bur sting bubbles\, foreign exchange rates\, and so forth. I felt that I had a ccumulated sufficient savings that I shouldn’t need to take risky bets a nd relegate their outcome to luck. \n\n"IN THIS TALK\, I WILL FIRST DISCUS S 10 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES TO FUNDING RETIREMENT:"\n\ nLongevity – not knowing how long you will live\, hence\, how many years you must fund\nInflation/deflation – protecting the value of your futur e income\nPersonal cost of living – this does not closely track the gene ral rate of inflation\, but ultimately it matters\nLegacy\nLiquidity suffi cient to cover extraordinary events (e.g.\, new auto\, roof\, uncovered di sease\, etc.)\nTax – confiscation of wealth\nLitigation risk\nInsolvency of firm standing behind securities/insurance\nDiminished investment capac ity\nProtection from the kids!\n\n\n"THEN\, I WILL DISCUSS MY PERSONAL STR ATEGY TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES"\n\n“None of the traditional retiremen t strategies covers all of these (10 challenges) and some simply amount to dubious bets on the direction of interest rates\, inflation\, benevolence of kids\, no litigation\, etc. My personal approach to addressing and bal ancing these risks includes deferred and immediate annuities in an innovat ive and responsive\, albeit simple way. I will not be able to cover it ful ly in this limited time. I will not discuss long-term care insurance\, unc overed medical expenses\, trusts and life insurance. However\, I will desc ribe the essence of my strategy in a manner that should help you see wheth er or not it offers elements that might be useful for your own situation. My approach is prone to leaving some money on the table\, but it allows me to sleep at night. I have no interest in keeping up with the Joneses\, wh o might well surpass me if their stock or precious metals bets turn out ri ght\; rather\, I have an interest in maintaining my lifestyle as long as p ractically possible. Nothing more\, nothing less. I should disclose here t hat I have no products to sell and never have. I don’t endorse any parti cular investment or insurance companies\, brokers\, agents\, or specific p roducts. I do not engage in any personal consulting on these issues.” (N ote from Stratton & Company: Dr. Babbel is our guest speaker and not affil iated with our company. Attendees will be invited to meet with us to discu ss your own personal retirement strategy\, and insurance and annuity produ cts are offered at these one-to-one meetings. No obligation.)\n\nA Strateg y for Conservative-Minded Retirees\n\n“Our personal strategy is to get o n base\, not swing for the fences. (Too many of my colleagues have done th e latter and are back in the dugout\, or worse.) It addresses each of the aforementioned retirement risks in various ways. None of our approaches is without at least some risk\, but in most cases\, we are avoiding substant ial risks that face most people in my age cohort. Now some naysayers will undoubtedly berate our retirement strategy. These naysayers will come in s everal flavors. Some will be true experts and be able to enhance our strat egy with some excellent ideas. We welcome any suggestions\, as long as the y are not too complex\, costly or difficult to implement\, because we want to be able to fully understand and oversee our assets as long as possible . Other naysayers will criticize our strategy because we are leaving too m uch potential money on the table by not undertaking greater equity exposur e. Let them criticize\, and let us sleep.”\n\nThere is no cost to attend \, but reservations are required and space is limited. RSVP requested by J une 5th by 5PM.

North American baby boomers are getting wit hin shouting distance of their golden years. Most have finally grasped tha t - despite the dreamy commercials and brochures - retirement isn’t a lo ng vacation that begins at 65. It’s a gradual winding-down process\, pos sibly involuntary\, with austere financial implications. The timeworn ques tions about proper savings rates\, the best mutual funds or the ideal size of your nest egg number have been pushed aside by a pragmatic economic re ality: “This is what I have\, give or take a few more years of saving. H ow do I make it last?”\n\n“In other words\, it is time to have some co nversations about retirement income planning\, also known as de-accumulati on planning.”\n\nHere's a brief outline of subjects in this talk:\n\n“ How long will your nest-egg last\, if you were to stop contributing today\ , and instead withdraw a fixed amount each year while earning a fixed inte rest rate each year for the rest of your life?”\nLength of life and long evity risk\nLife annuities and pensions\nFinancial risk\, including “an asset allocation equation that’s relevant… especially during retiremen t.”\n“A unified equation that measures the sustainability of your reti rement plan.”\n\n\nProf. Milevsky also says: “Yes\, I know from many y ears of teaching experience that financial conversations are often dry and humorless. So I promise to do my best to lighten up the topic by keeping the technicalities to a minimum…”\n\nHear Dr. Milevsky\, live at WJCT studios\, as he shares the 7 most important equations around sound retirem ent income planning\, by presenting the scientific breakthroughs that are at the core of providing a sustainable retirement in- come.

Defying the hagiographic impulses of the music doc genre\, ENO draws from original interviews\, the artist’s own staggering archive of never-before-seen footage and unreleased music\, an d Hustwit’s original interviews. Utilizing a proprietary software system developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes\, ENO offers millio ns of possible variations and ushers in a groundbreaking approach to story telling. The result is a viewing experience that resonates with Eno’s ar tistic practice\, his use of technology to compose music\, and the mercuri al essence of creativity as his endless pursuit.\n\nClick Here to Get Tick ets for ENO\n\n 6:30 PM - Doors open\n 7:00 PM - Film screens\n\nTickets $5\n\nCash bar and popcorn will be available.

While versatility is impressive for any musician\, what’s re markable about Shimabukuro’s transcendent skill is how he explores his s eemingly limitless musical vocabulary—whether it’s jazz\, rock\, blues \, bluegrass\, folk or even classical—on perhaps the unlikeliest of inst ruments: the ukulele.\n\nResponding to the urgent calls of his fervent ima gination\, the Hawai‘i-born virtuoso has taken the ukulele to places pre viously thought impossible. In the process\, he has reinvented the possibi lities of this tiny\, once-underappreciated four-string instrument\, promp ting many to call him “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele.”\n\n Doors Op en - 6:30PM\n Event Starts - 7:30PM\n\nThis is a partnership of Florida T heatre on the Road and WJCT Public Media.

For the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album\, Shawn revi sited the music of Soul’s Core by recording two new versions of the albu m. He calls this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original\, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album is stripped down solo performances\, some on guit ar\, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second is a new studio recording with his full band\, Soul Carnival.\n\nCAT RIDGEWAY: Recently v oted Orlando’s Best Rock Act and Best Singer/Songwriter three years runn ing\, Cat Ridgeway is a dynamic\, must-see performer known for soulful voc als\, electrifying energy\, and undeniable stage presence.
