Background: Video review is a valuable educational tool for teaching communication skills. Many studies have demonstrated its efficacy with individual learners, but few studies have addressed its use in a group format. Purpose: To assess the educational benefits of group versus individual video review of standardized patient encounters through the evaluations of4th-year students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Methods: Students (128) who participated in a 7-station, standardized patient, clinical competency exam were randomly assigned to an individual or small group video review of selected segments of these encounters in 2000-2001. Students filled out an anonymous 13-item questionnaire assessing the experience and provided open-ended responses. Results: With both review formats, most students had a positive learning experience (80%), found it less stressful than they expected (67%), and would not have preferred to do the review the other way (84%). Students randomized to individual reviews had a significantly higher level of satisfaction with the amount of time for the session (91% vs. 78%, p < .05) and the amount of feedback they received (95% vs. 79%, p = .01) and were more likely to view the session as a positive learning experience (88% vs. 73%, p < .05). Students in the individual review format were more likely to choose self-assessed weak segments (63% vs. 49%, p = .01). Students' comments indicated that they appreciated the value of peer review in a group setting. Conclusions: Although both group reviews and individual reviews of videotaped standardized patient encounters were received well by the students, there were several statistical differences in favor of the individual format.

TEXADA ISLAND, B.C. – Witnessing what he believed to be a meteor slice across the early night sky on Dec. 11 was a big thrill for aerospace aficionado Doby Dobrostanski.
"I spotted the meteor and in several seconds it was gone," Dobrostanski said.
Back in 1961 Dobrostanski was walking home from school late in the afternoon in Edmonton, when he saw a green fireball pass overhead.
Fifty-seven years later, he had another memorable meteor-related experience.
Last Tuesday at roughly 6:30 p.m., Dobrostanski witness the ball of light from the top edge of the windscreen of his car, until it disappeared about 15 degrees above the horizon, in line with Harwood Island from the parking lot.
"I had the lights off and I was looking out across the bay to see the lights of Powell River," Dobrostanski said.
He said it looked was much like the flares the Air Force drops for their SAR exercises, except that it was moving extremely quickly from slightly off from east to west.
Dobrostanski said meteor sightings aren't all that rare.
So what makes this meteor different?
For one, Dobrostanski said this alleged meteor didn't break up – rather, it managed to hold its integrity.

Softball Spotlight: Lee Cowan, Still Infected
November 11th, 2008 2:03 PM
This is the debut video in an occasional series called "Softball Spotlight," which will showcase the softball questions that Barack Obama-loving reporters ask the future president. E-mail your tips to me: dglover-at-mediaresearch-dot-org. Or upload your own videos to .
NBC reporter Lee Cowan was quite infatuated with Democrat Barack Obama on the campaign trail.
Cowan went so far as to with NBC anchor Brian Williams that "it's almost hard to remain objective" because Obama is so "infectious." Weeks later in an NBC print promotional, Cowan acknowledged that "my knees quaked a bit" when he learned that he was being tasked with covering Obama.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Cowan earned a front-row seat in the president-elect's first press conference on Friday -- and that he floated a softball when Obama called Cowan's name from a pre-selected list of questioners. It was the second question of the day.
: Will you be able to get an economic stimulus package through Congress before you take office? Obama's answer: "I want to see a stimulus package sooner rather than later. If it does not get done in the lame-duck session, it will be the first thing I get done as president of the United States."
It took Obama all of 11 seconds to blurt out that meaty response. Don't you feel so much more informed now.

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa plays down Patrick Bamford injury following Aston Villa absence
Marcelo Bielsa played down an injury to Patrick Bamford and said he had not yet ruled the striker out of Leeds United's Boxing Day clash with Blackburn Rovers after omitting him from a 3-2 win at Aston Villa.
Sunday, 23rd December 2018, 5:03 pm
Updated Tuesday, 8th January 2019, 3:59 pm
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford suffers injury scare.
Bamford dropped out of the travelling squad for Sunday's dramatic victory at Villa Park after suffering a fresh knee problem in training on Saturday.
The former Middlesbrough forward recently returned from a posterior ligament injury which sidelined him for three months in September, four weeks after his £7m arrival from the Riverside.
He scored on his comeback in a 1-0 win at Bolton Wanderers last weekend but was sent for scans over the weekend having complained of more pain in his knee.
Bielsa, however, revealed that the problem was unlikely to be serious and expects confirmation of Bamford's condition to come in the next 24 hours.
"During a training session he jumped to head the ball but fell down and felt something in his knee," Bielsa said. "We think it's not a serious injury and we think he will come back a lot faster than from the previous one. In the next day we'll know."
Bamford is part of a huge catalogue of injuries at Elland Road this season but Bielsa coped with another clutch of absences to claim a valuable win at Villa Park and take Leeds back to the top of the Championship.
Barry Douglas was forced to pull out of United's starting line-up through illness during the warm-up and Bielsa confirmed that striker Tyler Roberts was also unavailable.
Asked what his injury situation was likely to be for Wednesday's home clash with Blackburn, Bielsa said: "We'll see how Patrick Bamford, Barry Douglas and Tyler Roberts are. They're the three we couldn't include."

Ken's appearance on Israel's i24 News, regarding Israel's retaliatory strikes on Iranian installations in Syria, more
On May 10, 2018, SaveTheWest.com founder and president Ken Abramowitz appeared on Israel's i24 News to discuss Israel's retaliatory strikes on Iranian installations in Syria. Highlights of this interview:
It is a "welcome development" that Israel used a disproportionately massive military response after Iran fired 20 rockets into the Jewish state, targeting 50 sites, instead of measured responses, as it has in the past
Ken pointed out that Iran is trying to destroy Western civilization, and Israel, being the Eastern border of the West, is Iran's first target
Ken noted the significance of the fact that Russia, which arms both Iran and Syria, stayed on the sidelines before and after Israel's strikes
The West already is in World War 3, which began in 1979 with the rise of Iran's Ayatollah Khomeni, who declared war on Western civilization — but the West either does not recognize this basic fact, or is unwilling to engage in this war
The pernicious tendency of the Europeans "to want to do business with the bad guys," notably Iran, the #1 state sponsor of worldwide terrorism
Ken's hope that this war will be fought on the ideological basis, as the Cold War was fought, and won, rather than through force of arms

Photo exhibit kicks off at Riverfront Arts Center
Nathan Vine
STEVENS POINT – A community photography exhibit at the Riverfront Arts Center will kick off with an opening reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday.
"Windows!," which will run through Sept. 6, challenged photographers to express the theme creatively using their lenses to capture gaps, spaces, openings, holes, and windows to tell a story. This is the seventh year the center has hosted this exhibit.
A total of 118 prints were submitted of photos taken in Wisconsin and around the world by photojournalists, hobbyists and professionals from around the surrounding area. The theme for next year's event will be announced at the opening of the exhibit on Thursday.
The center is also offering a class for those who would like to know a little more about their cameras and how to take better photos. Barbara Smith, of BF Smith Images, will be teaching the class "8 Steps to Great Photos," from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 11 and 18.
Participants will need to bring their fully charged camera and its instruction manual to class. All camera types and skill levels are welcome. To register, please go to the center or mail a check to: Riverfront Arts Center, PO Box 472, Stevens Point WI 54481. Payment must accompany registrations.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, please call 715-343-6251 or email stevenspointrac@gmail.com. For other updates and information on current and future exhibits, like us on Facebook, Riverfront Arts Center.

Pierre Tal Coat was a French painter, born into a family of fishermen. He was originally called Pierre Jacob, but he adopted the name Tal-Coat in 1926. (Tal Coat means wood face in Breton). After working as a blacksmith's apprentice and a lawyer's clerk, he was briefly employed moulding and painting ceramics in a pottery factory. He was self-taught as an artist.
Following military service he moved to Paris in 1931 and became a member of the Forces Nouvelles group. In 1936–9 he did a series of powerfully expressive Massacres, based on incidents in the Spanish Civil War. They have something in common with Picasso's "Guernica", and Tal-Coat was strongly influenced by him at this time.
In the early 1940s, however, his work changed direction radically, as he developed the type of picture for which he is best known: starting from the impression of a natural scene he took this to the point of abstraction, suggesting the interplay of light and movement without specific representation.
Pierre Tal-Coat was considered to be one of the founders of Tachisme, a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Tachisme was a reaction to Cubism and is characterized by spontaneous brushwork, drips and blobs of paint straight from the tube, and sometimes scribbling reminiscent of calligraphy.
Tachisme is closely related to Informalism or Art Informel, which referred not so much to a sense of "informal art" as "a lack or absence of form itself" and not a simple reduction of formality or formalness. Art Informel was more about the absence of premeditated structure, conception or approach than a mere casual, loosened or relaxed art procedure. He died in 1985.

McConnell: Where did your inspiration and vision come from?
Smedley: A really difficult situation, the sudden death of my brother Gregg. We both shared a passion for gardening. This was a way to turn a very difficult situation into something beautiful and remain connected via The Gregg Witwen Memorial Garden.
McConnell: Can you share how this vision became a reality?
Pizza garden at the Wild West Community Garden.
Smedley: There was available land on the Wildwood Family YMCA property. I saw the perfect opportunity! I proposed the idea. A focus group was identified and there were about thirty people on board with this plan. From there a steering committee was developed all with the help of Nathan Brandt the Horticulture Specialist with the St. Louis MU Extension program. Initial funding was procured through local, community businesses and supportive individuals.
McConnell: What was your connection with the YMCA at this time and how did they support this vision?
Smedley: At the time I had been working in the membership department and to- date I have been employed at the Wildwood Family YMCA for fifteen years. The mission of the garden is to provide a peaceful, neighborly and safe setting that encourages gardeners to gather, socialize, learn and share the benefits of organic gardening, environmental stewardship and community support through bounty sharing to local food pantries. Growing a healthy community is consistent of that with the YMCA, being youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
McConnell: Can you share some of the important organizations, groups and businesses that have contributed to the garden's development and growth over the past six years?
Smedley: Some of the fabulous people that have helped us include Lucky's Market, Corporate Y Partners, St. Louis Master Gardeners, AmeriCorps, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Eaton Bussmann, Kohl's Ellisville and of course Gateway Greening and the Wildwood Family YMCA!
McConnell: The groundbreaking for the garden was in 2011 and now it's 2016! How has the garden grown and flourished?
1.We've expanded and now have 55 raised garden beds and are land locked.
2.We have a Lucky's Market Learning Garden with 8 raised beds in which children's educational programming occurs, including YMCA day camp activities. There is a worm bin, pizza garden and a pollinator garden.
3.The P.A.R. program (Plant -A-Row For The Hungry) has been developed.
4.We have developed designated berms for our native pollinators. We won the Gateway Greening 2016 award for Best Biodiversity in a Garden.
5.In 2016 funding was secured for a youth educator.
6.We are an official Monarch Waystation.
7.Homeschool programming has been developed.
8.Taste of The Garden events in conjunction with The University of Missouri Extension Program.
9.Strong communication development through our garden newsletter, section leaders, steering committee, adult education programs, garden committees and e-mail garden tips.
10.The most generous individuals who give their time sharing their talents and knowledge way beyond our garden guidelines.
McConnell: Our beautiful oasis also lends itself to offer individuals peaceful rests, reflection and relaxation watching the sunset on a cozy bench or watching the abundance of butterflies on the wide array of flowers. It is definitely an experience for all of our human senses to enjoy.
Jodi is currently the Corporate and Community Collaborator for the Wildwood Family YMCA and a Master Gardener.

Memorandum submitted by Kirsty Alexander
We are registered and monitored by our LA and have been home educating our daughter for 3 years following her diagnosis with epilepsy after brain surgery. Hers is a rare form of epilepsy, the stuff of nightmares, called Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE) where a constant stream of electrical activity especially during sleep de-skills the sufferer as they get none of the benefit of sleep. Because of our daughter's unusual profile (her verbal reasoning is in the top 2 percent of the population) home schooling has offered us the chance to throw a valuable lifeline to a brilliant mind as it teeters on the edge of a dark precipice. Her medical team have been fully supportive of our decision to home school and have been astonished at how well she is doing given the depth of her condition.
My background is in Higher Education and my submission gives a substantive critique of the Badman Review from that professional background. I am also able to illustrate the diabolical consequences of the application of its proposals for target setting and annual review, and the misinformed sensibilities that underpin them (all of which are already embedded within the practice surrounding SEN) will be to our daughter. It is important that EHE is understood as the education of individual children and that is why I have included the example of an individual child in my submission.
� The last minute change in status from consultation to review resulted in a rushed process and a report which lacked evidence, analysis and rigour. It is inappropriate, in a liberal democracy, for such a poor level of research and such a woefully inadequate report, to influence policy.
� The suggestion that disproportionate numbers of EHE children are known to social services is unfounded.
� The sensibilities of the review serve to conflate equal educational opportunity with standardisation. Our personal case history is presented to illustrate the dangers of such a conflation.
� Proposals regarding target setting and curriculum planning, evidence a refusal to, or inability to, understand the educational philosophy and pedagogical approaches which underpin the practice in many EHE families.
� EHE families are discriminated against in comparison to other families who choose to educate their children privately.
1. The last minute change in status from consultation to review resulted in a rushed process and a report which lacked evidence, analysis and rigour. It is inappropriate, in a liberal democracy, for such a poor level of research and such a woefully inadequate report, to influence policy. I am deeply shocked by the lack of any meaningful critical analysis in the report. Conclusions drawn and recommendations made bear little or no relation to arguments presented and the arguments presented are themselves not supported by any evidence whatsoever. I work in Higher Education and quite frankly I would fail any student - even at undergraduate level - who presented work for assessment in which the relationship between conclusions drawn and evidence presented was this tenuous. Moreover my discipline is Dance - the very discipline Michael Gove chose to exemplify as a soft subject lacking in academic rigour - yet it is a discipline whose expectations of how research should be conducted are still, apparently, higher than those of the Secretary of State.
2. I would have welcomed a well argued, evidence based review, as this would have enabled an engagement. Instead, the review simply says 'I believe ...' 16 times, and Badman, in paragraph 10.2 even confesses not to accept the findings of research which supports EHE (How can a review be meaningful if whole swathes of evidence can choose to be ignored) solely on the grounds that he is "not convinced". The recent desperate attempt of Badman to secure 'more' evidence to counter criticisms of the review[1] not only serve to illustrate the lack of justification for the review's conclusions, it calls into serious question the review's impartiality.
3. To begin the report with an Issiah Berlin quote which suggests we all have to compromise on our values can be interpreted as Badman throwing down the gauntlet to Elective Home Education (EHE) families at the outset, and exemplifies the predetermined tone and hubris which permeates the report and its conclusions. No alternative interpretations of the flimsy facts presented are ever considered or argued against. Quotes are taken out of context and misrepresent their original meaning. For example, there are quotes which I included in my correspondence with Liz Green which are misused in this way, and the Church of England have already confirmed that their submission made the opposite conclusion to that suggested by the out of context quotation from them that the report contains (4.8 Page 16 of Badman's report). Other EHE families have also confirmed that their submissions have been misquoted or quoted out of context, for example the quotation (4.3 Page 11) suggests an animosity between an EHE family and their local authority which did not exist when the quotation is read in full and in its original context.
4. The lack of evidence and analysis is compounded by the absence of expertise amongst the review panel. No home educating parent was on the review team and this does not accord with a Government that wishes to listen to the public and empower them. The educational philosophy and pedagogical approach of informal learning is so radically different from the dominant discourses in education that the panel should have included educationalists sympathetic to, and well informed about, such approaches. Expertise in other fields of, or approaches to, education does not amount to expertise in autonomous or informal learning.
5. The suggestion that disproportionate numbers of EHE children are known to social services is unfounded. There is a conflation between child welfare concerns and educational issues, in both the terms of reference for the review and in the final report which is not only conceptually incoherent, it has given rise to proposals which would make unwarranted incursions into people's private lives. Somewhat surprisingly given the review's terms of reference there is no analysis of the actual number of suspected and found child abuse cases involving home educators. Indeed, there are no robust figures or trends presented (even at an aggregated level), instead there is a vague reference to 'local authority evidence and case studies'. Thus it is impossible to tell whether the concerns about possible child abuse are based in fact or merely imagined. Moreover quotation's from the NSPCC (Section 8 - 8.6) are used to back up these vague assertions and opinions, yet in email correspondence with us, the NSPCC have failed to provide evidence to back up their concerns that Elective Home Education could be used as a cover for abuse, despite 2.3 million calls to ChildLine a year (for which they receive 30 million pounds from government). They have also admitted that they know nothing about Home Education.
6. The review rightly points out that the number of parents opting for EHE is unknown. Yet it also claims that 'the number of children known to children's social care in some local authorities is disproportionately high relative to their home educating population' (section 8:12). But given that the size of the Elective Home Education population is unknown, it is impossible to calculate the proportion, unless these councils have made up a base for the calculation; in effect the statement is meaningless. Moreover it is our experience that electing to educate your child at home is used by LA's as a prima facie reason to involve social services. We personally have had a worrying, though completely trivial, visit from our social services child protection officer solely because we electively home educate. When we mentioned this to a senior member of staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital (where our daughter was being treated for a brain tumour) they were horrified because they had been repeatedly begging the very same local authority's social services to intervene on behalf of a child that they had very grave concerns about. It therefore follows that the numbers of Elective Home Education families known to social services will be disproportionately high, because EHE families are already discriminated against.
7. The review wrongly conflates equal educational opportunity with standardisation. The dominant, though flawed, approach to the issue of equality of educational opportunity is based on principles of distribution. Such an approach is flawed because education (unlike wealth) is not a "thing" that can be distributed, (neither is opportunity) therefore educational inequalities can not be redressed through policies of redistribution.[2] Rather than being a "thing" that people "have," education is a process, a process actualised through relationships, interactions and most of all by the learner's quality of engagement. This simple mistake of according education the properties of a "thing" is prevalent through much educational policy, but, as I will explain, is problematic in the context of EHE. Distributive approaches to problems of equality of opportunity have led to increasing standardisation and increasing measurement /accountability in education. The national curriculum, standardised testing and league tables combine in an attempt to offer every child in every school the same educational opportunities. Their worth lies not in their particular educational value but in their function of increased accountability. Following the national curriculum, for example, has no greater educational worth than a possible alternative curriculum (which is why many private schools do not limit themselves to the national curriculum). Similarly, there is much evidence that an overemphasis on an outcome based approach can be detrimental educationally (despite the pop psychology of goal setting) but the outcome focussed approach persists in the state sector because of its usefulness as a standardising factor.
8. It is not the purpose of this submission to cast judgements on the wisdom or not of the drive towards standardisation in the state sector. The point here is to establish that standardisation and equality is not the same thing, because education is a process not a thing, and it is a process actualised by the quality of engagement of the learner, and learners are all unique and engage in different things with widely different outcomes. Real equality rests in placing equal value on different focuses of engagement and different processes of engagement. Standardisation perhaps has a useful reporting function in the school system which has a duty to offer every child a similar 'quality' of education, but that function (and therefore the construction of education as a 'thing') is obsolete in the world of EHE where the 'quality' in 'equality' is to be found in the child's quality of engagement and where there are no public funds and no stakeholders to report to. I mention these important philosophical points because unless those in local authorities charged with registering and, more importantly deregistering EHE parents are well versed in these debates, the risk of parents being deregistered under the clause "anything else which may affect their ability to provide a suitable and efficient education" (Recommendation 23 - page 44) because of local authority ignorance and assumption remains a live one. Moreover the reference to target setting and curriculum planning in the Badman report suggest that the vision of an appropriate education that L.A's will adhere to will be a narrow one, and one underpinned with the conflation of equality and standardisation.
9. Weight is given to this argument by the way in which current Special Educational Needs guidelines reveal the existing dominance of a standardised approach, already embedding target setting and standardised approach to curriculum. In fact, current practice with regard to SENs serves as an example of how L.A's are likely to implement Badman's proposals. Although SEN's purport to be there to meet the needs of individual children (through the distributive solution of extra input of some sort or another), in fact, where a pupil is assessed for a statement of special educational need the objectives set "relate entirely to the pupil's ability to access the curriculum" (Lambeth, 2008) rather than seeking to explore the circumstances in which the child can offer up their best quality of engagement. Our personal case history, which follows below, hopefully illustrates why the points raised in the preceding paragraphs are so important.
10. Our daughter suffers from Non Convulsive Status Epilepticus (ESES). Usually ESES is only suffered by people with existing serious learning differences such as profound autism. However, in our daughter's case the ESES is caused by some scar tissue in the brain as the result of multiple surgeries to treat a brain tumour, and prior to the onset of ESES she was what the medics call "high functioning". In fact she was, and is, very " high functioning", psychometric tests which were undertaken during her tumour treatment revealed her to be in the top 2% of the population in terms of verbal reasoning ability. However, even prior to ESES she had an unusually large difference between her verbal reasoning and her processing skills. A difference of 15% is considered exceptional and her gap was 40%. Nevertheless, prior to ESES her processing skills were still above average, so although her profile was unusual it was not concerning. Post ESES her processing skills were so compromised that they were estimated to be below the bottom percentile of the population, yet her capacity for verbal reasoning - though harder for her to access with any predictability - remained in tact. The result is a 13 year old who can lurch between being unable to put her socks on to critiquing, in extremely sophisticated terms, the work of the artist Frida Khalo and the way in which it reverberates with that of Henri Rousseau.
11. By following a pedagogy centred around Michael Bonnett's notion of authenticity[3] we have allowed her to take her own time and initiate her own activities, with the result that she has completed writing an extraordinary volume of poetry. We have had it bound and have distributed it to various artists that we know, many of international repute, who have accepted her as an artist on an equal footing, not as a disabled child. Moreover her medical team have been astounded that a child suffering the constant level of electrical activity she has to deal with can achieve what she achieves and can evidence such a secure sense of well being.
12. While visiting the hospital for an appointment with our daughter's consultant we bumped in to the teacher from the hospital school. They invited our daughter to come in whenever she wanted to join in the activities there. We took her a couple of half days a week for a while but discovered that the noise and distraction of working in a group setting, even in this benign and relatively calm school setting (an average of 4 pupils in any session) precipitated multiple grand mal seizures. The hospital school then persuaded us, in good faith, to apply for a statement of special educational need and because we wanted to continue to have a good relationship with the hospital, we complied.
13. The team of professionals who assessed our daughter, Doctors, Educational Physiatrists, etc. for the forthcoming Proposed Statement all agreed that home schooling was the most suitable education for her as it allowed the flexibility to respond to how she was at any given moment and to focus on her extraordinary talents as well as responding to her extraordinary challenges. However when we were sent the Proposed Statement it was apparent that our LA had ignored all the input from ourselves and the advisory team of professionals. We responded (with the help of the educational psychologist) with a detailed list of amendments - such as removing references to school and the suggestion that she should /could engage in group and whole class learning. More than 12 months later, we received a Final Statement identical to the original Proposed one (with references to school, group and whole class learning in tact) and containing none of our submission and none of the advice of the professional team. The one change to the final statement is that the local authourity now voiced its opinion of the most suitable education - a specialist school - though they noted we were not choosing to do this but were exercising our right to EHE. Their recommended provision would not only be educationally stifling it would be medically dangerous, as our previous experience at the hospital school illustrates. Nobody who has met our daughter advises this. But the SEN team have to (under their guidelines) name a type of school provision and include reference to the national curriculum, school, group work[4], the setting of targets etc. (how do you set targets for someone who might be well enough to read Sylvia Plath or might be so ill they cannot feed themselves, and when you have no idea which of these states is going to be the dominant one. Moreover how do you set targets for someone for whom the existence of a preset agenda disables her learning - she cannot process external set tasks, she has to initiate her own activities).
14. Badman's proposals in the report regarding target setting and curriculum planning, evidence a refusal to, or inability to, understand the educational philosophy and pedagogical approaches which underpin the practice in many EHE families. The inclusion of our personal case history is important, because the language in Badman's recommendations shares much with the existing SEN guidelines. Our experience exemplifies that the misappropriation of a standardised approach in SEN practice prevents attending to the needs of individual children and displays complete unwillingness to engage with, and failure to understand, the philosophical and pedagogical approaches that are often used in EHE - approaches equally disregarded and / or misunderstood in the language of Badman's recommendations.
15. EHE families are discriminated against in comparison to other families who choose to educate their children privately. My neighbour sends her son to Eton. None of his teachers have QTS and they do not follow the national curriculum. Yet Eton is accepted as offering those who go there an unrivalled opportunity to do well in life, and she is not accused of abusing or neglecting her child. Why are those of us who choose to privately educate our children through the mechanism of EHE discriminated against in comparison to others who chose to privately educate? Were any other minority group treated in this way, by LAs or by government, it would most surely be illegal. Using "rights of the child" as an argument to discriminate against EHE parents is incoherent. For example, it is the parent, not the child, who has the right to withdraw the child from the daily act of collective worship of a broadly Christian character which is compulsory in all state schools, and by in large it is the parents who decide what school a child will go to. Nobody is balancing the 'rights of the child' against these parents' rights. And nobody is proposing the right of forced entry into the homes of all preschool children or schooled children in the holidays (when the teachers are not there to protect them from their families). The "rights of the child" argument is being used in a discriminatory away against EHE families and sets a terrifying precedent for the future of family life in this country.[5]

There are numerous informal learning experiences that she engages in with other EHE children and with her friends who live locally (e.g. visits to museums, galleries, performances, parliament).

Bonefish Harry's wanted something cool and unique for their new seafood saloon location in Beverly. They asked us to develop the look and concept for the signage and after several concepts we agreed on a direction. As part of the signage, they wanted a custom hanging fish above the front entrance and the word mark painted on the wooden facade above. We used template vinyl and spray painted a 2 color logo onto the Mahogany faster boards to give it the look and feel of a ships transom. For the fish we used dozens of vintage sourced tin tans cut and tacked onto a wooden tuna silhouette. The cans were sourced form throughout New England and range in color, size and value, but they're all vintage. The eyes are antique brass door knobs and the exposed wood is a 1950's Johnny Walker liquor crate. This was a fun project that really represents the establishment well.

Big money on offer in Absa Premiership
For the first time in the history of South African soccer, Absa, the new sponsors of the Premier Soccer League (PSL), will award a total of R29,450,000.00 in prize money to the 16 teams participating in the Absa Premiership. This amount is three times more than the previous prize money pot.
The team that will be crowned the Absa Premiership champions in 2007/08, will collect a whopping R10-million.
The generous prize pot is part of the many incentives that the Absa Premiership will be offering to clubs in its mandate to develop and enhance the quality of local football and encourage exciting play during the season.
"The Premier Soccer League is proud to have a sponsor like Absa on board. Since the beginning of our partnership, it has been tremendous to see our relationship grow in leaps and bounds," said Kjetil Siem, the Premier Soccer League's Chief Executive Officer.
"Their commitment to soccer and its development is evident in terms of the prize money they are awarding."
On Thursday, in the same week that the domestic soccer league got underway after being in recess over December and January, Absa officially launched the Absa Premiership at the Eye of Africa on the 50th Floor of the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg.
According to a PSL press release, the significance of launching the league on top of the highest building in South Africa "is a symbolic indication of Absa's commitment to the highest level of domestic football".
As the old adage goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Absa took the first step all the way back to 1982 when they sponsored the United Bank Challenge.
In 2003, they re-entered the football arena when they took up the sponsorship of the Absa Cup 'The Cup of Dreams'.
Last year, Absa took two bold steps, when they secured the sponsorships of the national team and the league - the Absa Premiership.
"At Absa we believe it is what we do today that determines the quality of our tomorrows. Together with the PSL, our partnership will ensure an even better quality of football," said Happy Ntshingila, Absa's Group Executive, Group Marketing.
Apart from vying for the grand prize of R10-million, the Absa Premiership champions will have the honour of lifting the newly-designed Absa Premiership trophy unveiled at the launch.
From the beginning of March, Absa are also introducing a Man of the Match Award, which will be awarded at every fixture during the remainder of the season, and going forward, for every fixture in the full season.
Each player awarded a Man of the Match prize, will receive an Absa Premiership medal in recognition of his outstanding performance on the day.
At the end of each month a panel of judges will review all the players nominated for Man of the Match Awards, to select a Player of the Month Award. The Player of the Month will be rewarded with a cheque for R10,000.
"Our sponsorship of the Absa Premiership is a significant milestone in advocating Absa's brand traits of 'Ideas that deliver'," explained Ntshingila.
"Through this sponsorship, Absa makes a fundamental contribution to the continued growth and ongoing development of the quality of South African football and taking it to even greater heights. Our financial support of the beautiful game is a true demonstration of an idea that we are confident will deliver results," concluded Ntshingila.
Absa Premiership prize money:
First place: R 10,000,000
Second: R 5,000,000
Third: R 3,000,000
Fourth: R 2,000,000
Fith: R 1,500,000
Sixth: R 1,300,000
Seventh: R 1,100,000
Eighth: R 1,000,000
Ninth: R 750,000
Tenth: R 700,000
Eleventh: R 650,000
Twelth: R 600,000
Thirteenth: R 550,000
Fourteenth: R 500,000
Fifteenth: R 450,000
Sixteenth: R 400,000

Planning a destination wedding takes a lot of work. You cannot simply arrange a destination wedding on a whim. There must be loads of planning, scouting, pricing, and arranging before you can simply get married.
Don't go into the process thinking that it will be simple. Prepare yourself for a lengthy, in-depth process, and remember that it is all for your benefit. Though there's no way to explain every step of the planning process, here are a few planning tips to help you get through to the joyous part of getting married.
Choosing a location for the wedding may seem like the fun part, but take heed. You cannot simply choose a tropical location, and then begin planning a wedding that will cost you thousands of dollars.
In choosing a location, you must consider many things. Here is a short list of just a few of the things you should consider when choosing where you will hold your destination wedding.
How long in advance must people plan their trip?
When you are planning to travel to a far-off destination for your wedding, it is dangerous to try and plan it all without ever visiting the location in advance. You want everything to go well on your perfect day, and vetting the area is the best way to plan for comfort.
By traveling to the destination prior to the event, you can choose locations first-hand. You also have the ability to speak with the people who will be arranging the events surrounding your wedding. Communication is important when planning such an auspicious event.
A very important tip for a successful destination wedding is to notify your guest of your plans as soon as possible. You cannot expect your friends and family to be able to drop that kind of money in a heartbeat. Give them the decency of time. Give your guests time to plan, just as you have had time to plan.

How The Okra Project Is Bringing Food Security to Black Trans People
Inspirational 4:51 AM PST, March 3, 2019 - Stephanie Officer
4:51 AM PST, March 3, 2019 - Stephanie Officer
On a chilly Sunday afternoon in January, everyone gathered in a Bronx, New York, apartment has at least one thing in common.
They're hungry.
While a group of friends kick back and debate Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" video, chef Meliq "Zaddy" August is in the kitchen preparing a Caribbean feast.
First up, a nod to August's heritage is served: Belizean garnaches, which are similar to tostadas. They're fried corn tortillas with refried beans and mango slaw on top.
Having a chef prepare a meal like this might seem like no big deal to some. But for this group of friends, it would have been unfathomable without Ianne Stewart's idea.
"It truly was just a thought that occurred to me," Stewart told InsideEdition.com. "I was on the couch and the idea just kinda spilled out of my mouth."
Right then, just days before Christmas, The Okra Project was born.
A partnership between the Black Trans Solidarity Fund and Zaddy's Kitchen, which was founded by August, The Okra Project's main goal is to bring healthy meals to black trans people in need, free of charge.
"What we do is we hire black trans chefs to go into the homes of black trans people or for those black trans people who are experiencing homelessness, we prepare food for them," said Stewart. "... That is our intention, is to basically bring food to food insecure black trans people."
After coming up with the idea on the couch, Stewart shared it with a friend, Nyla Samson, who founded the Black Trans Solidarity Fund. They contacted August and scheduled a meeting. At best, they thought they'd raise $500 to $1,000, and hoped to provided some tasty food to those in need over the holidays.
Santa did them one better.
"A week before Christmas Eve, the idea came. It was just when I first reached out. That happened on Sunday. That Wednesday, we came out. By Friday, we had $6,000, which was wild," Stewart said. "We had $1,000 by the end of the day on Wednesday and the idea went out at 9 a.m."
The only people who get paid through The Okra Project are the chefs. Those who request food through the nonprofit don't spend a dime. Meals cost about $20 a plate.
August was only too happy to help.
"Everyone should have access to healthy, accessible food," August said. "And the fact that that is not there, the fact that I see the stark difference between produce at Trader Joe's and produce at most grocery stores in the hood, it's a damn sin."
Stewart explained that the nonprofit's unique name was chosen to reflect its founders' ancestry. "The whole reason why we call it The Okra Project was because our African ancestors you know, during slavery and the Middle Passage, would hide okra on their bodies. Some people would weave it into their braids. And hide it and plant it in the new world as a means of sustenance.
"That's why okra means what it does today. About prosperity and about community."
What August prepared that January day didn't last long. Barely five minutes passed from when August announced the main course was ready — jerk jackfruit, rice and peas, fried plantain and avocado — to when plates were licked clean.
Devin Lowe, whose apartment everyone was gathered in that day, was emotional while speaking about what it means to have The Okra Project in the home he shares with friends Eli Berry and Kai Parker.
"The fact The Okra Project is out here saying, 'Hey, you deserve healthy meals and you deserve it for free,'" Lowe said. "'You shouldn't have to be struggling, and having to pay to survive.' And doing the work that I do, doing a lot of community organizing work, working with a lot of other black trans folks, I see every day the people that are struggling, I have kids reaching out to me all the time, trying to ask for $10 to $15, so they can find a meal, trying to ... which is so heartbreaking," said Lowe.
Lowe's roommate, Parker, who is a vegetarian, appreciates the fact that The Okra Project also offers that option.
"Essentially I was just sitting here thinking it's another part of community, and community coming together to make sure that we're out here surviving. We're out here healing, just existing in this world, trying to create, trying to love and just be. So that's why I love this project, because it brings communities together, you know what I mean?"
The demand for The Okra Project is now so great, they've already expanded to Philadelphia.
Stewart admits the fast growth is scary, but it doesn't matter. If they stay ready, they don't have to get ready.
"The Okra Project is something we did because there was a need and we wanted to meet it, but I really wanna see people start to invest in ways that means that we can really look to bigger and better future," Stewart said.
If the reaction on everyone's faces after the meal was any indication, The Okra Project's future looks quite bright.

Test Chamber – The First Hour Of Doom
Demon meet shotgun. You're going to see plenty of that combo in this hour-long look at the beginning of Doom, which is readily available for everyone to play on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. This somewhat lengthy look includes our early impressions of the single-player game, which we can tell you are glowing at this point. Multiplayer and SnapMap are not explored in this video.
Sit back and enjoy the video, and if you have any questions about Doom's campaign, leave them in the comments and we'll do what we can to answer them. We do not yet know the length of the game, and we haven't seen the BFG in action yet.
Thanks again for watching, and we'll see you again in another episode of Test Chamber.
11 Games To Plan Your Summer Around
Summer was once known as a dry season for video game releases – a time to get through before the fall flood of games. Nowadays things are different, with a wider market of games releasing all year long thanks to a booming indie scene and a constant drip of triple-A titles.
For some, summer is a time to get outdoors; for most gamers, it's a time to unwind and tackle new virtual adventures. Whether you have time off or just need new games to immerse yourself in, we looked at the summer release schedule and noted some games that you might want to put on your radar (or plan your life around).

Get Reacquainted With Emily Kaldwin From Dishonored 2
Sequels are usually the place for studios to refine the backstories of their main heroes. While Dishonored's original assassin is returning for the sequel, Arkane took the opportunity to turn Empress Emily Kaldwin into a playable protagonist as well. Last time we saw Emily she was a young princess in need of rescue. In Dishonored 2, she's grown into a capable assassin who can stand toe-to-toe with even the toughest of the royal guard. Here's how she grew from feeble princess to fearless empress.
Head here for a deeper dive into Corvo and Emily's powers.
A Collection Of Doom Easter Eggs
Doom hasn't even been out for 24 hours yet, and fans have already stumbled upon a handful of awesome Easter eggs. As always, here is your big SPOILER warning.
The videos below show off new sections of the game. Some of the secrets people are finding are callbacks to the Doom games of yesteryear, and a few reference Bethesda games. One of the funnier secret pays homage to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. We'll continue updating this list is more Easter eggs are unearthed.

Test Chamber – A Brawling Introduction To One Piece: Burning Blood
Burning Blood is the next entry in the One Piece franchise's ever-expanding library of games, and we took a look at its demo on Xbox One.
The game is developed by Spike Chunsoft and is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Vita, and PC on May 31, but a demo for the game released today on new-gen consoles. The demo features four fighters that can face off in standard versus, or versus the computer modes. There's not a lot to dig into in terms of gameplay, but Ben Hanson and myself discuss the show and what makes it cool. I am far from watching the entire series, but I have watched a lot recently and consider myself a new fan.

NHL 17 Wishlist – 29 Changes We Want On And Off The Ice
After stumbling onto the ice with its first entry on Playstation 4 and Xbox One, EA's NHL series bounced back with a much improved second shift last year. Last week we got our first glimpse at the company's plans for the next entry in the series via a trailer that teased promising new features like international competition, team customization, franchise relocation, team celebrations, and net battles. As bigtime hockey fans, our wish list is slightly longer.
Getting all of our proposed improvements into NHL 17 (or even 18/19) is unrealistic, but we'd love to see these deficiencies addressed in the coming years as the series strengthens its position in the ranks of sports games. Hockey's never been the most popular sport, but if EA smartly caters to the hardcore fans of old-time hockey and entices some new players into the fold, it could reclaim the glory of past entries.
Here are 29 changes we think could drastically improve the franchise.

23 Observations From The Pokémon Sun & Moon Trailers
Nintendo and Game Freak offered up a number of new details this morning with English and Japanese trailers for the new Pokémon. The three new starters were revealed, as well as the new legendaries and the release date: November 18. Outside of those details, however, a number of tiny reveals were included. If you blinked, you might have missed them, but not us.
For whatever reason, the new starters will be presented to you on a stage.
One of them seems less thrilled than the others to be up for grabs.
Your Favorite Pokémon Starters Ranked
Yesterday, we posed an important and undeniably difficult Pokémon question to readers: Of the 22 different starters from the 27 different Pokémon games, who is the best? You can find the results below.
As is the case with these sort of roundups, this is miles from being anything resembling a scientific poll. I looked at the comments and tallied up the votes on this reader discussion, and for the surprisingly few that picked up to three starters because they couldn't bring themselves to decide, I counted all their votes. It's more about figuring out the general tone and seeing who is rising to the top of a cast of great Pokémon starters.
Litten, Oshawott, Piplup, Popplio, Snivy and Tepig were the big losers from the poll, with not a single person raising their hand for any of them. No readers selected these as their favorites. Litten and Popplio have a good excuse – they are the upcoming starters from Sun and Moon, and all we know about them is their type and what their initial forms look like. Surprisingly, Rowlet did get a vote. Someone has already claimed the owl as their favorite, despite not having played with them yet. This actually goes against our poll (which you can currently find on our homepage) asking who among the new starters is the best.
Test Chamber – 10 Minutes Of Intense Cyberpunk Action With Ruiner
Ruiner was one of the stand-out indie titles on showcase at PAX East 2016, and we were able to play through the game's challenging demo and showcase what makes it special.
Ruiner is the first title from Polish developer Reikon, which is made up of former members of CD Projekt RED. The game takes place in an oppressive future heavily inspired by '80s Cyberpunk and anime like Akira and Ghost in the Shell. The gameplay, which you can see in the video below, is reminiscent of games like Hotline Miami and other twin-stick shooters, but easily establishes an oppressive identity all its own. This is the build of the game that appeared at PAX in April, so it's worth noting that this is far from the final version.
For some of our written impressions on Ruiner from PAX, head here. The game is set for release this year on PC.

Bequia Boat Adventure Excursion | Thomson now Marella Cruises.
You'll get to explore Bequia by boat on this tour. As we cruise out of Port Elizabeth, we'll learn about the island's fishing and boat building heritage. Keep a look out as we sail along the coast, as we'll pass the airport, fish market and Petit Nevis, an uninhabited island that's home to an old whaling station. You'll be able to glimpse glamorous Mustique in the distance, too. We'll stop at another uninhabited island, Isle de Quarte, for a chance to swim and snorkel in the Evian-clear waters. As we dry off, you can help yourself to soft drinks or a glass of the captain's rum punch. Next up, we'll pass Moonhole, where the quirky houses look like they've come from the set of The Flintstones, before landing at gorgeous Princess Margaret Beach for some free time.
Just so you know, as the transfer is by powerboat it's not suitable if you have neck or back pain, pregnant or have walking difficulties.

Q: find data between range in matlab I have a rather simplistic example that I would like to learn the best possible solution for. I have a data set:
depth = [0:0.5:20];

I want to only select 'depth' from a specific range, for example from 2 to 5. I can do this by:
d1 = find(depth == 2,1,'first');
d2 = find(depth == 5,1,'first');
depth = depth(d1:d2);

Is there an alternative, cleaner way of doing this?

A: just use logical indexing:
 depth(depth >= 2 & depth <= 5)

IoT pilot at UBC will help create action plan for accessible parking
eleven-X, a network operator enabling the Internet of Things (IoT), announced several initiatives with the University of British Columbia to help the university make data-informed decisions on its services.
In October, eleven-X launched an initiative to collect data using parking sensors connected to the eleven-X LoRa Wide Area Network. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing parking spaces for people with disabilities. The data will provide parking profiles for each individual parking stall, enabling the university to analyze and evaluate the effective use of the stalls.
The pilot is expected to last six months; at the end of the estimated six months, the data samples will decide whether or not the university will create a plan of action for the whole campus.
"Our goal is to ensure UBC provides optimal parking accessibility for disabled individuals. Capturing real-time data will provide a detailed view of usage frequency enabling our operations to ensure that accessible parking is efficient and always available," said Brian Jones, director of parking and access Services at UBC. "Improving the parking experience for our students, staff and visitors, requiring accessible parking is our principal goal."
In November, eleven-X launched its second Smart Campus initiative with UBC to track fill-levels of outdoor waste disposal and recycling bins in campus parking facilities. The goal is to improve waste collection efficiency by providing optimized route planning and pick-up, while reducing costs by optimizing pick-up schedules and eliminating the need for emergency call-outs.
The pilot is expected to last three months.
"This pilot represents the second Smart Campus project UBC's Parking has undertaken with eleven-X, underscoring the benefits that our LoRaWAN network is capable of delivering and the benefits to our customers of having network coverage available from coast-to-coast in Canada," said Dan Mathers, President and CEO of eleven-X. "From parking to waste management, our Low Power, Long Range wireless network promises to deliver value all our customers are coming to expect, across many diverse applications."
