Loz loved to eat worries. Loz was a worry-eating monster. Loz loved to eat worries - little worries, big worries, worries about food, worries about school, worries about absolutely anything. Sitting in his special chair, Loz would wait for the sound of tinkling silver bells and then be off to eat a child's worries. It was the best job in the world.
This is an open access book. Rocscience is delighted to announce the Rocscience International Conference 2023 (RIC2023), an in-person gathering to be held from April 24–26, 2023, in Toronto, Canada.

This publication includes 82 technical papers presented at Rocscience International Conference (RIC) 2021, held online on April 20 and 21, 2021. Rocscience created this event to bring geotechnical academics, researchers and practitioners together to exchange ideas as part of celebrating 25 years of the company’s existence. The papers in these proceedings were from keynotes, panel discussions and papers, selected after careful review of over 100 technical submissions delivered at RIC 2021. The technical papers were grouped into sessions based on their subject areas. The conference aimed to stimulate discussions that could help the industry work towards overcoming geotechnical engineering limitations today. It also sought to foster creative thinking that will advance the current states of the art and practice. The keynote addresses, panel discussions and technical presentations tried to examine geotechnical problems and situations from fresh perspectives. RIC 2021 hopes that the proceedings will continue to enrich our thinking and contribute to achieving a critical mass of change in our practices and approaches. We look forward to significant improvements in our industry.

Rosi Talavera was abused, pregnant, angry, and poor. Then she registered for Alison Reichle’s “Women And Power” class at Desert Flower, a wonderful small school for pregnant and parenting teens. Many of the young women were quite intelligent but generally had not been academic achievers. Reichle had seen a pervasive, almost crippling lack of self-esteem in the girls she taught, chaining them to a cycle of poverty not only for themselves but for their children. In an attempt to reform these dismal prospects and raise aspirations, Reichle researched and developed a women’s studies class tailored to meet the needs of the students. Rosi joined with 40 remarkable others in what they called the WAP class. This is their story.
