This winter, Kelsey will attempt to be the first woman to race 7 triathlons on 7 continents in 7 days.

Kelsey Myers, an advocate for women in sports and endurance enthusiast, is set to embark on an extraordinary journey this winter to attempt a world record. Myers will take on the challenge of finishing 7 triathlons on 7 continents in just 7 days in an incredible display of determination and athletic prowess. 

The world of triathlons is no stranger to Kelsey Myers, a seasoned athlete who has successfully completed numerous races and overcome formidable challenges including a full Ironman, three half-Ironmans, and countless sprint distance races. Inspired by her passion for pushing boundaries and breaking barriers, she has decided to embark on this ambitious quest to raise awareness of the gender gap in triathlons and encourage more girls and women to take on the challenges that sport offers.

The record attempt will see Myers competing in triathlons across all seven continents, including Malibu, California, United States; Puntarenas, Chile; Malaga, Spain; Muscat, Oman; Tangier, Morocco; Sydney, Australia; and Antarctica. Each triathlon will test her physical and mental endurance as she conquers varying terrains and climates, showcasing her adaptability and tenacity.

With this attempt, Myers aims not only to etch her name in the record books but also to inspire other girls and women to push beyond their limits. Myers will be fundraising and advocating for ZGiRLS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Olympic and NCAA female athletes dedicated to teaching middle school girls tangible skills to overcome self-doubt, fear, and insecurities while increasing their confidence and self-esteem. 

To track Myers' progress and support her on this monumental undertaking, also known as Global Triathlon, follow her on Tik Tok and Instagram at @theglobaltriathlon and to donate to ZGiRLS, visit www.globaltriathlon.com

The world eagerly awaits the results of this extraordinary challenge as Myers strives to make history with 7 triathlons on 7 continents in 7 days.

Solvably Launches AI Centers of Excellence to Support Systemic AI Literacy

AI Centers of Excellence by Solvably offer real-world challenges whereby lifelong learners explore and apply AI in a collaborative, creative problem-solving experience.

Solvably Launches AI Centers of Excellence to Support Systemic AI Literacy
Solvably AI Center of Excellence

Solvably's AI Center of Excellence is designed to support AI Literacy for ALL!

Solvably (http://www.solvably.com), a digital collaborative, creative problem-solving platform for lifelong learners, launched its AI Centers of Excellence today to systemically train all kindergarten-through-career learners on Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

Solvably's AI Centers of Excellence offer 20 initial AI-focused, real-world challenges for K12, Higher Education, and Corporate Talent. Learners using the platform can collaborate in remote teams through a scaffolded problem-solving process, much like a virtual escape room, creating a deliverable that illustrates an application of AI with relevant impact by specific workforce job role/function (i.e., Customer Service, Sales, Leadership), K12 educational subject (i.e., Math, Science, Social Studies), or Higher Education institutional major (i.e., Marketing, Engineering, Finance). High-fidelity, pedagogically sound 'custom' challenges can also be created easily using Solvably’s Design Lab wizard tool. Each Solvably Center of Excellence experience supports soft skill development and engagement tracking, as well as longitudinal efficacy reporting among learning institutions and employers. 

“To best prepare for tomorrow’s demanding workforce, today’s students and professionals need to not only understand AI and its enormous potential but how to apply it to solve real-world challenges in order to achieve higher outcomes,” said Solvably Founder and Chief Problem Solver Angelo Biasi. “Solvably’s active learning and authentic assessment experience is an evidence-based solution that empowers and ultimately future-proofs this wide audience with the skills required to use AI technologies and applications effectively, or ‘AI Literacy’ – something I am boldly calling the newest 21st Century Competency - while, in turn, creating a more qualified and effective global talent pool.” 

Solvably for education and Solvably TALENT for employers are digital learning and assessment solutions that facilitate behavioral change via remote, collaborative experiences. The platform, founded in 2020, sold in 2022, and re-acquired/re-launched in 2023 by Angelo Biasi, won several awards, including an EdTech Breakthrough Product Award for Creativity Solution of the Year, and EdTech Digest’s Cool Tool award for 21st Century Skills Development. AI Centers of Excellence (COE) complement Solvably’s other COEs and serve as a centerpiece for the relaunch of the powerful platform.

Educational institutions and employers interested in working with Solvably to support learners or employees in their lifelong learning journeys can contact the company at info@solvably.com, or visit http://www.solvably.com.

Sandra Day O’Connor Institute Mourns Passing of Founder

Sandra Day O’Connor Institute Mourns Passing of Founder
In Memoriam

Honoring the life and legacy of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor

The namesake organization founded by the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court is mourning the loss of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

“No words can describe the profound loss of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. The organization she founded remains resolute and will redouble our efforts to continue her lifetime work and extraordinary legacy,” said Gay Firestone Wray, Board of Directors Co-Chair.

The Institute will carry on its mission to further the distinguished legacy and lifetime work of Justice O’Connor to advance American democracy through civil discourse, civic engagement, and civics education.

“From our organization’s founding in 2009 following her retirement from the Supreme Court, Justice O’Connor led our organization with vision and intellect, and she exemplified our nation’s ideals,” said Sarah Suggs, President and CEO. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to continue her work and dedication to our great nation.”

Sandra Day was born on March 26, 1930, in El Paso, Texas. She spent much of her younger years on her family’s 160,000-acre Lazy B ranch on the Arizona-New Mexico border. At 16 she went to Stanford University for college, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in economics. She stayed for law school. Day graduated and, six months later, married John O’Connor, the love of her life. They eventually moved to Phoenix, where Sandra Day O’Connor began her rapid professional rise, which included holding positions as assistant attorney general of Arizona, majority leader of the Arizona State Senate, and judge on the Arizona Court of Appeals. She also found time to raise three sons—Scott, Brian, and Jay—and make every recipe in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

On August 19, 1981, President Ronald Reagan nominated Sandra Day O’Connor to the Supreme Court; on September 21 she was confirmed by the U.S. Senate with a vote of 99-0.  

Her career on the Court was historic. Justice O’Connor will be remembered not only for being the first female on the Court, or for her clear-eyed judicial reasoning and writings and major decisions, but also for her insistence on civility, her penchant for bringing people together to solve problems, whether in Washington, D.C. or over tacos and beer in her Arizona dining room.

“She overcame obstacles with quiet skill and determination and, in the process, inspired and continues to inspire countless others,” said Institute Board of Directors Co-Chair Matt Feeney.

We will miss you, Justice O’Connor.  

About the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute for American Democracy
Founded in 2009 by retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the O’Connor Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(3), continues her distinguished legacy and lifetime work to advance American democracy through multigenerational civil discourse, civic engagement and civics education.

Willie’s Grill & Icehouse Celebrates 30th Anniversary Reaching Philanthropic Milestone of $1.5M

THE BELOVED TEXAS ICEHOUSE WILL CELEBRATE THREE DECADES OF GIVING BACK TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES WITH SPECIALS 30 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Willie's Grill & Icehouse, the brand that brings the classic icehouse experience to communities across Texas, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The brand will celebrate throughout December with a discount that harkens back to the origins of the icehouse, as well as a commitment to continue their tradition of financially supporting communities across the state.  

The restaurant, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and icehouse classics, closes out its third decade of service with more than $1.5M in monetary donations to various charities and public services within the cities where the brand operates. 

Among the philanthropic programs are the Willie’s Grill & Icehouse Spirit Nights, in which local community charities are given a portion of the proceeds from a specific day’s overall sales. Their commitment to public servants is another important piece of the brand’s mission, as seen through their community sponsorships. Throughout the year, Willie’s Grill & Icehouse offers a 10% discount to first responders, teachers, firefighters, and nurses at all locations. Local law enforcement departments are also treated to 50% off their meals throughout the year at Willie’s. During their grand opening celebrations, Willie’s Grill & Icehouse hosts VIP soft openings where they invite educators, nurses, law enforcement, and other essential workers to dine for free throughout the day. Finally, all locations offer the Fire & Icehouse Lager throughout the year and a portion of the proceeds is donated directly to local fire departments. 

All Willie’s customers are in luck throughout the month of December, as the brand is offering a Texas-sized discount on one of their original menu items. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday throughout December, Willie's will offer their original Cheese Willie Burger, the menu item that the brand was built on, for only $6.30 in honor of their milestone anniversary. The promotion, a ‘thank you’ to customers for their years of support, is valid for both in-store and online orders.

"We are thrilled to be celebrating 30 years of serving Texans our icehouse classics and welcoming families through our doors," said Greg Lippert, CEO of Willie's Restaurants. "Giving back to our communities has always been a pillar of who we are, and we look forward to continuing the tradition as the brand moves into our next era. We invite all customers to come and enjoy a delicious Cheese Willie Burger at a discounted price throughout December as a thank you from all of us at Willie’s Grill & Icehouse."
