set to graduate from the University of Cincinnati's Venture Lab a program that helps entrepreneurs develop their ideas into businesses University of Cincinnati | 2600 Clifton Ave What policies and programs can society implement to make a tangible Social scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades by conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) experiments that aim to identify “what works” to engineer improvements for society from guaranteed income programs to job training for previously incarcerated individuals RCTs are considered the gold standard for determining whether a particular policy or intervention is effective On October 15 at the inaugural Ephraim Lecture a law professor and professor of economics at the University of Virginia presented her research on what fifty years of RCT studies in criminal justice teach us about the structure of the social world Stevenson was the first recipient of the Ephraim Prize for Law and Economics The prize recognizes an early career scholar in law and economics whose work has advanced the state of knowledge in the field Ephraim attended the event and introduced Stevenson after brief introductory remarks from Dean Thomas J “I am very happy to say that law and economics began here at the University of Chicago,” said Miles it has been the intellectual powerhouse that propelled these ideas throughout the legal academy and into the world I’m thrilled that this intellectual leadership continues today through the Donald M Most of Stevenson’s research in criminal justice focuses on narrow questions The paper she presented at the Ephraim Lecture “This paper is built around a key empirical claim that I’ve developed after ten years of reading and conducting empirical research in criminal justice,” she said Stevenson’s thesis is this: A broad look at RCTs in criminal justice since the 1970s reveals that most interventions and reforms they had little lasting effect—and the very few that did have success mostly did not replicate in other times or places but it teaches us something really kind of profound and important about the structure of the social world,” she said when it comes to the type of limited scope interventions evaluated by RCTs the social world is full of stabilizing forces that resist change to whatever extent an intervention may have altered an individual’s path for a short period of time the forces of life and the way the world is structured push a person back onto the path they would have been on absent the intervention Cascades—small interventions that lead to large and lasting changes—are rare Stevenson even ventures to say that they are mostly a myth because of a lack of evidence to support them Stevenson took a three-pronged approach in her examination of the impact of RCTs She looked at a fifty-year study of RCTs with crime as an outcome she looked at famous instances of success in RCTs and she examined various hot topics in criminal justice Her findings showed that most of the famous successes were never replicated and the very few attempts at replication found that the intervention was not as successful in other times or places “Does this apply in other areas of the social world outside of the criminal legal space?” posed Stevenson Many areas of social science also find that interventions rarely have large or lasting impact.” Stevenson concluded her talk by exploring the implications of her research She described what she called “the engineer’s view,” a viewpoint that is based on the idea that the social world is amenable to manipulation and control—and that we can reliably learn to predict the impacts of reforms using RCTs and other methods “I think the engineers view is a myth,” she said “I don’t think we live in a world that works in the way that it would need to work in order for us to be able to engineer change on the scale we want—at least not with the confidence that comes with having pilot-tested something to prove success first.” Stevenson said that she didn’t have any definitive answers on what we could do to create real lasting change for the betterment of society one could focus on direct harm alleviation—if we are worried about hungry people one could pursue systemic reform—and accept the uncertainty that comes with it because people who are drawn to this option tend to be guided by theory and intuition taking small steps and hope that this moves the world in the right direction “I want to reiterate that I don’t see this as depressing,” said Stevenson “I truly see this as a testament to people’s will to be able to create things on their own And to the extent that there remain limits to their ability to create the world that they want on their own these limits come from deep structural forces that are simply not easy to change.” Directions and Building Access Consumer Information (ABA Required Disclosures) Accessibility We have the address for the funeral home & the

As I reported at the opening in December of 2023 (just a year ago) the owners of the building and bar have several South Jersey businesses and commercial properties and a bar of this size likely needs an on-site owner operator who can put more focus on it’s growth A talented cook/chef looking to open their own place would be a perfect match Overall its a nicely done design and laying out the customer bar and dining area which best utilizes the available space.  The building also offers a full kitchen where all kitchen equipment was purchased new The signature aspect of the Mt Ephraim Bar & Grill customer experience is a large center rectangular bar seating 24 customers.  There was still plenty of space also available around the outer perimeter for seven tables seating another 26 customers Large televisions were installed to catch the latest sports action and accent lighting within the restaurant can be changed to different colors to set the mood Commercial real estate website Loopnet has the listing for the Mount Ephraim Bar and Grill which includes the liquor license and fully equipped bar which all things considered seems like a very reasonable price…  but there are additional costs associated with taking over the bar… of course if you are interested your best move is to reach out to the Real Estate team and the liquor license… but the building property are not included in that price so you would either continue as a lease-paying tenant or separately negotiate to purchase the real estate also As mentioned the listing states that the sale includes the New Jersey “Type 33” liquor license which allows take-out sales from the bar area which in many communities the license alone is worth more than $390,000 The listed price also includes FFE which means….all furniture As examples listing calls out the following items: What appears to not be included is existing inventory which would be a separate agreement  (which I actually think is a standard real estate practice) as mentioned the $390,000 does NOT include the building or property The listing calls out three options regarding the tenant’s lease all of which are  separate from the business purchase Property is +/-.78AC and represents an opportunity to redevelop or expand I do not know what the current lease amount is and honestly if you have genuine interest I would highly recommend you reach out to the commercial real estate representative provided on the Loopnet listing Mt Ephraim Bar & Grill – Closed and For Sale267 S Black Horse PikeMt Ephraim NJ 08059 Categories News Lawnside’s Iconic White Horse Sign Returns Superbloom Bake Shoppe in Haddon Twp Opens Jan 30 We saved something special for our final Milwaukee Music Premiere of 2024 Something that very much fits with our non-commercial After 12 months of sharing tracks from Milwaukee artists that range from psychedelic to barnstorming bluegrass and from rap to rockabilly we’re going full-on classical for this year’s 30th and last premiere: “Ephraim” from Alicia Rytlewski It’s not as much of a departure for us as you might think my brain jumped straight to the Ben Folds section of my music library Considering “Ephraim” is carried entirely by Rytlewski and her piano it’s an easy comparison but also an apt one I could imagine Folds-ian lyrics layered onto the track telling the story of a garbageman with pastry chef aspirations or a trip to the pharmacy that somehow ended in a Winnipeg bus station and unless my admittedly novice music education has totally led me astray here “Ephraim” is built on that 3/4 time signature (for reference think about every “clumsy guy learns to ballroom dance” scene in any movie ever … “one-two-three Rytlewski didn’t compose “Ephraim” with a twirl across the dance floor in mind it was a gift of sorts for her uncle’s wedding which took place in the village of Ephraim in Door County As guests gathered for the lakefront affair near a graffiti-covered barn Rytlewski debuted a song that has a “looking out over a vast body of water” feeling gentle and insistent and soothing and stirring with a melody that recurs at key points to anchor you throughout While Rytlewski created “Ephraim” years ago it wound up setting the tone for an entire album fueled by scenes and settings across Wisconsin — “from a biodynamic farm in rural Campbellsport to the snow-blanketed streets of Milwaukee,” as stated in her announcement for When We Were Bears While we wait to hear what emerged from those travels, we have this track inspired by Door County and joyful life moments.

A USA TODAY article from January says they were planning to close 450 stores this year Another Black Horse Pike Walgreens closed in Glendora back in 2023. Dollar General has taken over that location Ten years ago Walgreens closed another area location about two miles up road in Bellmawr which closed in 2015.  That drug store building wasn’t even that old when a few years later it was torn down to make way for a Royal Farms convenience store which opened in 2018. The Mount Ephraim Walgreens location opened around 2008 so it’s only been about 17 years since they developed it Locals are likely to connect to the sad underlying aspect to this story… the Mount Ephraim property was originally home to the Harwan movie theater which was an old school smalltown theater which are becoming more and more rare Many people still remember visiting the Harwan for its live shows movies… or the interactive Rocky Horror Picture Show which was a regular weekend experience for my visit today to the Mt Ephraim Walgreens there was indication at all the store was closing in about 5 weeks I asked about the closing at the front register and was pointed towards a small stack of narrow printed flyers The flyers clearly stated the store’s permanent closing set for March 26th 2025… with both the store and pharmacy closed at 12:00 PM The flyer directs customers to a generic Store Closing page for Walgreens… and then on the other side of the printed flyer it suggests two area locations; Haddon Township and Magnolia Honestly it doesn’t seem like either of those locations are very convenient for anyone living in the Mount Ephraim/Haddon Heights area… they are a considerable drive While I understand that there’s a CVS directly across the street from this impacted Walgreens if you look at the locations on Google Maps… this closure does leave a big gap for the Walgreens brand in the heart of Camden County In my visit today the store shelves were mostly decently stocked although some areas have very reduced inventories such as skin care and supplements Walgreens – Mt Ephraim (Closing Next Month)20 W Kings HighwayMt Ephraim Website Castle Harbor Restaurant Delran Not Reopening – Business For Sale Lynn BlamiresOur timing was great for leaf peeping Tie Fork is a rest area in Spanish Fork Canyon It replaced the old Tucker rest stop a few miles up the canyon which is now the trailhead for North Skyline Drive I realized that this rest area is positioned to be a key access point to thousands of miles of ATV trails in Utah I wrote an article on this subject last August (See Standard-Examiner August 17 I caught a UDOT employee cleaning the main building at the rest area When I asked about parking our rigs there overnight There are 14 spaces long enough to handle a semitruck and trailer so I thought that if we parked our rigs nose-to-nose we could minimize our impact on the parking lot Being street-legal was a requirement for this ride because we had to ride a section of highway to reach the staging area at the North Skyline Trailhead We had another stretch of asphalt to connect the North and South Skyline Drives Sixteen machines lined up at Tie Fork to begin the two-day ride The weather was perfect – a little cool in the morning with shirtsleeve weather by 10 We turned south on Skyline Drive and began our climb to the top of the world but my “ride leader” flag must not have been obvious enough I pulled over to remove my jacket while a half-a-dozen riders passed me We met up again at the parking lot where North Skyline Drive ends They wondered what had happened to me and I resolved to be a more obvious leader We took advantage of the break to reorganize Lynn BlamiresThe aspen were bright in the sunshine There is nothing technical about riding the Skyline Drives That is why I tapped this ride as the cannonball run so we made room for big trucks hauling logs on the road I don’t know why I get excited about seeing a logging truck Maybe it is the size of the logs they are carrying We turned east and rode down the Clay Bench where we picked up Littles Creek as we passed Blue on our way to Grassy Lake There was a restroom there and we took time for a break The water was calm at the lake except for the occasional fish jumping Continuing our ride south to Orangeville Road we turned west and rode up to Skyline Drive we dropped down into Ephraim to the Willow Creek Inn we lined up for our ride back to Spanish Fork Canyon I had ridden this trail earlier this year and I had a GPS track that would have made this ride easy I figured that I could remember the trail easily enough – big mistake Lynn BlamiresThe aspen were on fire in early morning light having lost one who could only ride for one day These were narrow trails and taking a wrong turn presented the challenge of turning around where there was no place to turn around It was bad enough taking the wrong turn once;

However, the true freshman defensive end has defied all odds in order to get back on the gridiron. His story is one of family, resilience and faith. It is a story that can inspire all to defy the odds and look towards the good in the trials we face. Asiata is the second oldest of five children to his parents, Matt and Tangi. He grew up in Utah and played football at Hunter High School before transferring and finishing his senior year at Herriman High School, where he was named to a First-team All-Region selection in 2023. His dad, Matt, played college football at the University of Utah and then spent five years in the NFL, primarily playing for the Minnesota Vikings. Being able to grow up with an NFL dad helped instill a work ethic in Ephraim that has helped him get to where he is today. “He pushed me to do everything to get to that level and I trust him. He knows what he's doing. Obviously, he's done the steps to get to the highest level.” That's my pops. So I'm gonna listen to whatever he says,” Ephraim said. Things were going well for Ephraim as he was a sought-after prospect in high school and he had taken a visit to his dad’s alma mater. However, everything changed on Jan. 13, 2022, when the unthinkable happened. While Ephraim was a sophomore at Hunter High School, he and two of his friends, Paul Tahi and Tivani Lopati, were involved in a tragic shooting. The shooting would claim the lives of his teammates while Ephraim would cling his to life. Matt received a call alerting him of the shooting and he and his wife raced to the hospital where Ephraim had been admitted. The news they received when they got to the hospital was not something that a parent wants to hear. Ephraim sustained major damage from the bullet that pierced his right side. The bullet exploded after impact which sent fragments into every major organ. Surgeons were tasked with finding and removing the fragments from his organs, according to vikings.com. His liver, small intestine and pancreas all suffered the most damage. Ephraim lost half of his liver and doctors had to remove his entire small intestine due to the damage. The doctors gave Ephraim just a 1% chance to live. Despite the bleak outlook, friends and family were by his side day and night. No one was willing to give up hope. “When Ephraim was in the hospital we all felt helpless but never hopeless.” said uncle, Muka Atiga. “It felt like never-ending prayers were on repeat for days and weeks at a time. Our family never felt so much support from our community and extended family members. It was amazing to see so many people support Ephraim and cheer him on from near and far.” Ephraim was able to get the surgery that he needed but he still faced a long road to recovery.

Ephraim viewed this trial as something that would strengthen him “It obviously strengthened not just my faith just getting us a little closer to our Heavenly Father He's the one doing all this work so I'm gonna keep trusting in Him Keep saying my prayers and keep being blessed That's that's what he has to offer,” Ephraim said Muka noticed the impact this challenge had on the Asiatas “That trial brought our family together like nothing else could," he said “We knew none of us would be able to handle that on our own and we really leaned into that relationship we have amongst ourselves With the backing of our community and extended families we were equipped with literally everything we needed to get through.” Ephraim was able to defy the odds and returned to play football at Herriman High School for his senior year He then decided that he would commit to play football at BYU despite his dad having played at the University of Utah “Going through everything I've been through That's another reason why I came to BYU,” Ephraim said Ephraim was not able to serve a mission but he feels like the opportunity he has at BYU is taking the place of a mission He has been able to inspire his teammates and coaches and in the words of his coach Ephraim said he is grateful to be a part of this BYU team He has seen limited action this season due to the deep position groups that the Cougars have along the defensive line and linebacker positions That does not mean Ephraim doesn’t have a role on this team you can find him hyping his team up and bringing the energy for his teammates “I'd say my goal right now is just continuing to play my role on the team I'm just gonna keep being patient,” he said His story is far from over but he will continue to be a inspiration to all those who know of his resilience The Daily Universe is an educational lab tied to the curriculum of the journalism sequence in the BYU School of Communications and is committed to the mission of BYU and its sponsoring institution The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Contact us: Dureceptionist@byu.edu An official website of the United States government https://www.nist.gov/blogs/taking-measure/authors/ephraim-gau Ephraim Gau is a senior graduate student in the Physics Department at Washington University in St Working in Professor Henric Krawczynski's high-energy astrophysics group Ephraim has contributed to a variety of experimental and theoretical projects for acquiring and using X-ray polarization data from black holes and neutron stars Much of his efforts have been directed toward scientific ballooning missions which he writes a bit about in his contribution to this blog Mark Willard and former NFL offensive tackle Ephraim Salaam open the show with their reactions to the Lakers getting trounced by the Grizzlies in Game 1 of their playoff series They react in real time throughout the show to the Warriors vs Rockets showdown They also get into the other Game 1 matchups from across the NBA playoffs including the Thunder's historic blowout of the Grizzlies Willard and Ephraim start setting the stage for the NFL draft looking at some of the top quarterback prospects debating where Ashton Jeanty could ultimately land They also react to recent comments from Puka Nacua regarding Brock Purdy's looming contract extension..

Austin Symphony Orchestra's music director who joined the composer for lunch at the Indo-Tex-Mex spot Nasha on East Seventh Street Bay will conduct the world premiere of Lipman's Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra which spotlights cherished Austin trumpeter Ephraim Owens backed by New York jazz trumpeter Giveton Gelin The Lipman debut headlines a pair of concerts dubbed "American Splendor" — with Leonard Bernstein's "On the Town: Three Dance Episodes" and George Gershwin's "An American in Paris" — Friday and Saturday at the Long Center for the Performing Arts meaning green card holder.) A tenor saxophonist he studied jazz and spent eight year in New York City playing clubs studying with experts and heading out on tours Then Lipman realized: "There are easier places to live." "Lead singer Sam Lipman's Australian roots are evident both vocally and structurally; most songs coast on jaunty chords and peppy rhythms like Squeeze," wrote Christopher Gray in a 2006 Austin Chronicle review of the album "Gentlemen Don't Tell." "Lipman also handles the horn charts playing all the necessary instruments himself adding mystery to the lush 'Eyes' and brassy oomph to out-and-out pop numbers like 'Makes Me Love You.'" Lipman's revelation about orchestral music he was proof-reading legal documents in the World Trade Center while listening to the Prokofiev symphony on headphones he decided to write a string quartet for her almost as if I had found a space inside myself that I could escape to." inebriated on a beach in Hawaii with three other musicians "We asked each other what we wanted to do with our lives," Lipmans recalls "Becoming an orchestral composer seemed like 'pie in the sky.'" Lipman found the right life partner to make it happen he now teaches scoring for films and video games as well as AI for composers at the University of Texas It was Welton-Lipman who "ordered" him to go back to school and earn a degree at UT UT has a fantastic program with fantastic teachers." Lipman wrote pieces for the UT Symphony and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra but he found an abiding partner in the Budapest Scoring Orchestra renowned for its movie work and its reasonable fees Lipman: "Their string section is better than most orchestras." If you didn't know this about your orchestra conductor Bay brings to the table an almost unquenchable curiosity about different genres of music "Film music adds an essential element to American music Yet tends to be snubbed by some audiences," Bay says "Now John Williams is more of a household name than composers like Prokofiev among the early classical composers who wrote for film." Bay points out that Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) was the first classical composer who wrote a film score "Film music is not that far afield from opera which accompanies actors on the stage," Bay says Lipman: "Richard Strauss influenced all of them with his rich He points out that Austrian composer Max Steiner ("Gone with the Wind," "Now Voyager," "King Kong") learned his chops working with traveling circuses and that he understood the inherent need for commercial viability." "A score has to stretch like fabric," Lipman says (In a footnote on musical convergence that only a trivia buff would love who later drafted Lipman as an orchestrator employed Saint-Saëns' 1886 "The Carnival of the Animals" in his enchanting 1978 "Days of Heaven.") often with Austin talent: Besides orchestrating the score for Malick’s "Way of the Wind," he co-scored Richard Linklater's "Where’d You Go Bernadette," and composed the all-electronic score for Ramona Diaz's documentary "A Thousand Cuts." His score for 2017 documentary "Southwest Of Salem" was Oscar-nominated for Best Original Song In a Movie and his score for the stage play "Matawan" won the 2019 Austin Critics Table Award He composed several theatrical scores for the UT theater & dance department where served as composer-in-residence for two years Lipman's inspiration for the new concerto was Austin jazz trumpeter Ephraim Owens "I wanted to put him in front of a symphony," Lipman says I wanted to sing in my own voice and in the orchestral intertwining of our musical voices." Lipman and Bay told divergent stories about the how the concerto reached the eyes and ears of the symphony conductor but former Austin Symphony CEO David Pratt — a fellow Australian — played a part in the journey as did Bay's producer-singer wife Mela Sarajane Dailey along with super-sponsors Greg Wooldridge and Lynne Dobson Lipman's concerto proved a perfect match for a jazz-influenced concert of American sounds "It is an immense gift for any composer in my shoes to be played by the Austin Symphony," Lipman says "Composers' careers are based on this kind of lucky break." "I've got a good band to work with," Bay half-jokes "They embrace all the classics — and that means film scores hip-hop — and other elements that others that other orchestras would not have embraced "I wanted a piece that belongs to Austin."

I have an amazing scene partner in Zoey Deutch [as Emily Webb] and it still feels like that in the most beautiful way This is one of the most diverse and eclectic casts and we’re leaning into that and letting that be the representation of Our Town Does the fact that the Gibbs family is African-American add subtext to the production or is it something that doesn’t need to be addressed that’s the purpose of this: to get back to the humanity to strip away labels that we associate with one another You look at this white household and this Black household side by side and they’re doing the same things every day Everybody’s having breakfast; everybody’s saying hello to their mother but those subtle nuances are something to celebrate You are an award-winning Broadway dancer who started your career with Alvin Ailey How much of an adjustment is it not to be using that singular talent It’s a challenge because I’ve never done this kind of storytelling When I wanted to communicate something on stage I can show you how I feel when I move my body in a certain way I can sing how I feel.” But now I’m getting to a place of feeling that I’m good using words to relay that same depth of emotionality It’s been a beautiful learning process from playing the title role in Pal Joey [at City Center Encores] to Conrad Birdie [in Bye Bye Birdie at the Kennedy Center] and now George in Our Town There’s no throughline in those three roles There actually is: Those are all white characters This past year has been me stepping into the shoes of characters famously played by white men and figuring out how to speak to these men with a Black voice—with my voice—without losing the truth and the core of who they are Has Broadway changed for the better for actors of color since you were in The Little Mermaid 15 years ago I have had so many moments of tokenism that broke my heart and made me want to remove myself from that form of casting—moments of [thinking] “I know you are casting me out of all the people auditioning because you want one Black person just to say you have some form of representation.” and we weren’t speaking to what it meant to be a Black boy during that time amongst those guys Newsies isn’t necessarily about that but I had the feeling of not being utilized That was the same year Trayvon Martin was killed and we weren’t having conversations to address how lonely I felt the way we would now Why can’t a Black man lead this show Why can’t a Black family be the lead of this story?” Then we experience the full humanity of the characters The change in this industry from The Little Mermaid to now has been night and day As an original cast member in Hamilton Hamilton was a major moment where we kicked down the door to show what theater can look like—that you can put black and brown faces in the forefront to tell American stories It must be fun to think back on playing Ariana Grande’s boyfriend and Jennifer Hudson’s son on TV in Hairspray Live “What are your dreams?” I never would have said Broadway let alone all the people I’ve gotten to work with God has done miraculous and mysterious work in and around my life I have no clue what’s going to happen next “Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.” Then it’s about trusting that I’m meant to be here—that I was put here on purpose supportive of you and your sister [Martina Sykes] going into show business Oh, yes. My sister is on tour right now with The Lion King Where do we need to take you so you can pursue whatever it is that you love doing?” I’m very grateful to my dad and mom and now [my sister and I] have our own scholarship fund at our high school [in St didn’t necessarily think Broadway was possible for them I want them to feel the sense of possibility my parents gave me They would never have seen this coming either so it’s going to be a beautiful moment.
