Uncategorized Video
by William Ruben Helms April 7, 201303:50 July 20, 2015
After Louis XIV's last world tour, the band's frontman and producer, Jason Hill covered an isolated, 100 year old house in the Hollywood Hills into a recording studio, he called Ulysses. Brimming with instruments and recording equipment – including old tape machines, and plate reverbs, Hill began writing songs. And like a lot of musicians, Hill began inviting several musician friends including Dominic Howard, drummer for Muse; Mark Stoermer, bassist for the Killers; Nick Ffye, bassist for Jamiroquai; Dave Illitch, drummer for the Mars Volta; Jeff Kite, keyboardist for Julian Casablancas and Beat Club; and even David Johanssen of New York Dolls fame. And the result would up becoming The Synthetic Love of Emotional Engineering, the debut from a new band, Vicky Cryer.
Album title track, "The Synthetic Love of Emotional Engineering" is one of the early singles from the album, and the song itself is icily sparse and yet seductive. (In some way, it reminds me of Prince. I don't know why but it just does.)
The band recently released the official video for "The Synthetic Love of Emotional Engineering" and it's a gorgeously shot video – all of the action of the video is shot underwater. Much like the song it's quietly seductive and psychedelic.

Q: ddrescue only rescued half the drive, how do I salvage the rest? I have a USB hard drive that appears to have failed. Now I'm trying to transfer as much data as possible to a fresh drive with ddrescue -n -f -v /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc2 recovery.log. I ran into the error message Input file disappeared: no such file or directory a few times, with things like this in dmesg:
[13140.221752] Buffer I/O error on dev sdb1, logical block 481912624, async page read
[13185.036766] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Timeout while waiting for setup device command
[13185.248736] usb 3-3: device not accepting address 27, error -62
[13185.256853] usb usb3-port3: unable to enumerate USB device

Physically detaching and attaching it again would work for a while, but now it seems stuck at 49%. Every time I start the process again, the drive disappears after a short while with no progress.
Can I either tell ddrescue to skip the problematic region or can I somehow mount the incomplete file system on the new drive to see what I've got so far? I'm hesitant to mount the new drive even in readonly and wanted to make sure that it is safe to do so first.

A: The disk is probably a SATA disk with a USB bridge.
Open the enclosure, remove the USB-SATA bridge, and connect it to a SATA controller and repeat your attempt.

One of Marjorie Taylor Greene's verified Twitter accounts permanently suspended from Twitter
by CNN Newsource January 2, 2022 January 2, 2022

Twitter has permanently suspended Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Twitter account @mtgreenee, the company confirmed to CNN Sunday morning.
A Twitter spokesperson said the company "permanently suspended" the account "for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy."
Greene, a right-wing Republican, most frequently tweeted from the handle @mtgreenee, which had more than 465,000 followers. She still has access to and can tweet from her official congressional account @RepMTG, which has more than 386,000 followers.
The Georgia lawmaker has a long history of embracing baseless conspiracy theories, and she has been a serial tweeter of false claims — about the election, the Capitol insurrection and other subjects — since she won her seat in November, 2020.
Twitter had previously temporarily restricted Greene's account for sharing misinformation about the 2020 presidential election and Covid-19.
Greene's ban comes almost a year after the platform banned former President Donald Trump in the wake of the deadly January 6 insurrection.
The tweet that prompted the permanent ban included a misleading graph purporting to show deaths related to Covid-19 vaccines, which Greene claimed have been ignored, according to a person familiar with Twitter's decision.
Americans are encouraged to submit details on adverse events following Covid-19 vaccination to the US Department of Health and Human Services' Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. While many adverse events — including deaths — have been reported, very few have been causally linked to the vaccines. All Covid-19 vaccines available in the United States have been scientifically proven to be extremely safe and highly effective.
The tweet was sent at 1:46 p.m. ET on New Year's Day, according to a screenshot obtained by CNN.
According to Twitter's Covid-19 misinformation policy, users can receive a one-week suspension if they violate that policy four times. Violating the Covid-19 policy five or more times can result in a permanent ban.
Greene released a statement after the ban, part of which said: "Social media platforms can't stop the truth from being spread far and wide. Big Tech can't stop the truth. Communist Democrats can't stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!"

With new $2,300 iPad Pro, Apple proves itself a bunch of brilliant jerks
Gotta grab 'em: the new iPad Pro with magnetic Pencil.
Image: Stephanie Keith/Getty Images
By Chris Taylor 2018-10-30 18:20:52 UTC
My 2017 iPad Pro, with uncanny timing, has started acting up these past few days.
All of a sudden there's a patch of lighter-than-the-rest pixels at the bottom of the screen, and I can't stop looking at it. It's the proverbial fly in the ointment, the stain you can't remove: a reminder that even mighty Apple technology will break down and die, faster than you'd like.
So when Apple came calling with a new iPad Pro lineup Tuesday morning — without mentioning it costs more than $2,300 at the upper end — I was probably more vulnerable to the sales pitch than the average fanboy.
*A 1TB iPad Pro w/ cellular, Apple Care, Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard is actually $2356* (the 15-inch MacBook Pro starts at $2399 by comparison) pic.twitter.com/wal9tS5Sev
— Karissa Bell (@karissabe) October 30, 2018
I was dazzled by the 12.6-inch iPad, or rather by the reduced bezel size that trimmed this former monster to the size of legal paper — not that much larger overall than my current 10.1-inch device with larger bezel and case. (Those numbers refer to the size of the screen itself, rather than screen plus bezel; by keeping the former the same, the device shrinks.)
I was most definitely seduced by the new flat-sided Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to the side of the new iPad Pro — and wirelessly charges at the same time! With my current round Pencil, I had to buy a third-party Pencil-holding case to keep it close, and I invariably forget to plug the Pencil into the lightning port.
At the same time, I was sad that Apple had removed the headphone jack (again!), and that it was forcing iPad Pro upgraders to use the insecure Face ID system rather than Touch ID. So much for Pro users who want to listen on superior wired headphones without a mass of dongles, or unlock their iPad Pro while wearing a hat and shades.
Ironically, Apple had just revealed it was keeping the headphone jack in the new MacBook Air, and, uh, adding Touch ID. So the company clearly understands that both are important to computer users. And yet it claims to be pitching the iPad Pro at the computer-buying market.
Your wallet says no. Your heart says go.
And then there was the price tag. To be clear, $2,356 is what it costs for a one-terabyte 12.6-inch iPad Pro with Pencil, Smart Keyboard and Apple Care. (We haven't included the cost of any cases or extra adapters you might need; the iPad Pro charges via USB-C rather than lightning, so anything you attached to your iPad via the old cable system will need to be upgraded with a new dongle.)
Sure, not all iPad Pro buyers are going all-out like that. But here's my guess: Apple is going to be extraordinarily good at upselling on this one. In fact, most users are probably going to upsell themselves.
If you're in the market for an iPad Pro, why not get the maximum storage? Think of everything you could do with a 1TB device — especially now that you can use fully-fledged Photoshop on it. Not to mention the console-style games Apple is pushing hard (the launch event included a demo of NBA 2K19).
SEE ALSO: Apple doesn't need new hardware — it's going to make you buy everything it sells
This, of course, is Apple's M.O. It's the reason why they don't just issue a press release every year. The product introductions are riots of color and form and function; marketing so good you don't even realize it's marketing. It's easy to imagine the best version of yourself, if only you had this beautiful new, light yet giant screen in your hand.
Also part of Apple's M.O. in the Tim Cook era, unfortunately, is this "my way or the highway" approach to technology upgrades. You need to plug in an aux cable, for whatever reason? You prefer the secure fingerprint-unlocking system of Touch ID? Tough shit. Go buy a new MacBook Air instead. You have a million lightning cables? Go buy a million USB-C cables.
On the pricing front, Apple has always eschewed the low-range market — but now it appears to be eschewing the midrange market, too. It's all about high-end purchasers these days, or making midrange people max out their credit cards, and if that isn't a metaphor for America as a whole I don't know what is.
We're used to this approach on the smartphone side of things. Because they are smaller and more frequently used, we even forgive it. We watched Apple release a $1,449 iPhone XS with no Touch ID and no headphone jack, and we said nothing. Then they came for the iPad Pros.
Will I get the new iPad Pro anyway? It seems very likely that I will. After all, in order to fix the too-bright patch of pixels on my current device, I will have to walk into the Apple Store.
There I will walk past a gleaming display of spanking new slim 1TB iPad Pros, with impossibly large screens, impossibly small bezels, magnetic Pencils attached to perfectly machined, recycled aluminum sides. And right there, I will picture my best self living my best life.
My wallet doesn't stand a chance.

The Music of Video Games – Volume 3
Hello again, one and all. Welcome to another week of video game music. Last week, I mentioned that I would be giving you a great treat. I told you all that you will be all winners and today, you will be. I have played Final Fantasy for a long time now. About 12 years ago, I played Final Fantasy X as my first Final Fantasy; a late bloomer. Since then, video game music has become a major part of my life and with that, came music from a legend in the industry: Nobuo Uematsu. Since the beginning of the Final Fantasy days, Nobuo Uematsu has composed and produced many soundtracks in this amazing industry.
Today, we take a look at some of his work. Not to mention other's like Masashi Hamauzu who has recently took the helm of the Final Fantasy game music. Not only was Final Fantasy XIII's music great, but it was the bright spot of the entire game. His work also carried over to Final Fantasy XIII-2 with another unbelievable soundtrack
Back on point, the reason is you are all winners, is because we are going to take a look at the various Victory Themes the music team over at Square Enix has produced over the years, starting with very first games going into the newest.
Final Fantasy I – VI
Final Fantasy has been a commercial success throughout the years and so has it's music. Beginning back in the late 1980's, music from Nobuo Uematsu has been etched into the history of Final Fantasy. Now with a winning salute, Broken Joysticks takes a look at the winning work, the gang at Square Enix has provided.
The Victory Fanfare has been a staple of Final Fantasy games for years. From the very first game, it has been one of the best parts of game. Mainly, because you win battles and are greeted with an awesome tune at the end. In the early days, however, the themes were mostly the same. Change a few notes to make it more unique to the game. No matter the sound, it was always a welcome sound. It doesn't begin to change until the Playstation era.

[youtube id="uApT1dsI9cs" width="600″ height="350″]
[youtube id="QEmbOL3AAEs" width="600″ height="350″]
The Playstation era brought 3D polygons and epic sountracks, some of which are the best of the series. Final Fantasy VII's epic and streamlined approach brought the game into the mainstream. It brought new life and give a new perspective on where the franchise was going. In turn, the soundtrack for the game was a lot more robust and featured a lot of rocking tracks. The forumla for the Victory Fanfare, however, was still it's chippy self, however, there were changes.
[youtube id="kdxBkd_3PZc" width="600″ height="350″]
Final Fantasy VIII's love story brought on a new sound. An opera like beginning set the tone for one of the more auspicious titles in the franchise. Just mentioning the ill-fated Junction system still brings bad memories to many games. One of the brights spots, was indeed it's soundtrack. The victory theme in this game is my all-time best in the series. A rugged opening mixed with a cute but fun ending.
[youtube id="pBkBMSW15u8″ width="600″ height="350″]
My favorite entry into the Final Fantasy games comes up with a more classical tune for it's victory theme. Using more trumpets than a man can handle, the song pumps excitement and poise into the player. Final Fantasy IX, like the song itself, is a throw back to the old games and one that should be remembered by all gamers as one of the finest on the original Playstation.
[youtube id="UNJMvW21Xg" width="600″ height="350″]
The Playstation was winding down and the Playstation 3 released on October 26th, 2000 here in America. With the new power came a new way to look at Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy X was the last Final Fantasy numbered title Squaresoft would ever publish and develop. Even with this change, there was more changes inside of the music department too! Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano helped Nobuo Uematsu create this amazing soundtrack. The Victory Theme was a very lively song. Almost to the point that you want to start dancing! Go ahead, I dare you not to shake your body at this song.
[youtube id="1Io0DLo_G90″ width="600″ height="350″]
Final Fantasy X-2 was Square Enix's first official Final Fantasy…that was numbered anyway. The game is a mixed bag of awesome and weirdness to a lot of people. The soundtrack was the same way for a lot of people. The POP of the soundtrack didn't sit right to a lot of people and you will find very few who rank this up there with the greats. Final Fantasy X-2's Victory Theme is one of the very few that is poppy. Take a listen.
[youtube id="DuxYQrmHb28″ width="600″ height="350″]
Final Fantasy XII was a different Final Fantasy all around. From the soundtrack to the battle system. There were a lot of new things to see and do in Final Fantasy. The music was definitely different. What makes it different from a lot of the other Final Fantasy's, is the fact that the victory theme is no longer played after winning a battle. Due to it's open world nature, the game stands out to be one of the most different games to ever come out in the franchise. The music returns to the great old style of Final Fantasy and even sounds like a Star Wars movie. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.
[youtube id="g9MdbEtfqiA" width="600″ height="350″]
Probably one of the most controversial games in the series, Final Fantasy XIII set its sights on a people who were being abused by a military power only a few could withstand. The people of Caccoon were ravaged by the enemy on Gran Pulse and only a L'Cie could do away with the threat. I feel this games strongest asset was it's soundtrack. It made the very linear game seem very enjoyable and even likeable. The classic Victory Theme is gone and replaced with an amazing set of beats that will be music to your ears.
[youtube id="ak9SuZMvQHg" width="600″ height="350″]
Unlike the last sequel of a main game, Final Fantasy XIII-2 was a much more enjoyable experience. Bustling cityscapes and towns made Gran Pulse come alive. The soundtrack itself even lifted itself up a bit more. Again, once again substituting for a more poppy soundtrack, this time, the soundtrack is a much better experience and shows real EMOTION (no pun intended) than Final Fantasy XIII-2's outing. With it, Final Fantasy XIII-2 had a TWO victory themes, but in the article, I will only show you one.
[youtube id="WBLXEgOzgrg" width="600″ height="350″]
Final Fantasy's Victory Fanfare is a classic song that has been remixed for the good of the franchise and for each game. When you become victorious in your everyday activities, it's only natural to screen the song out and sing it for a few seconds. The power of music in games has a strange hold over you. Don't ever let it go!

Building Look-Alike Audience Modeling in the First-Party Data Era
By Nathan Eddy
The rise of new privacy measures will result in big changes to marketing strategy. Learn how you can create look-alike audiences with only first-party data.
Look-alike modeling has been an important part of the media toolkit over the past decade, allowing brands to increase their audience pool by taking a core group of top-performing individuals, grouping them and using data and technology to find other individuals like them.
Over the past several years, data management platforms (DMPs), third-party cookies and their associated data are becoming obsolete due to self-regulation by technology providers and legislation like CCPA and GDPR.
The movement away from third-party cookies and third-party data overlays on cookies is causing total audience pools to drop in size as individuals have fewer associated identifiers (cookies to connect to).
However, look-alike modeling can also help businesses leverage their first-party data to build robust large-scale segments for marketing and advertising purposes.
Tealium's regional vice president of strategic partnerships for the Americas, Travis Cameron, explained that the value of being able to expand target populations based on data associated with a high-value segment will take on a different dimension.
These changes range from the identifiers used (hashed PII data to match & expand) to the utilization of different data types (contextual, interest-based, pathing) vs. demographic or psychographic inferred data used previously.
"The value remains — marketers need eyeballs, and the quest to find individuals like those who just converted to optimize spend will always have a high associated value as a tactic," Cameron said. "It is just going to become harder to model and expand your audience."

Understanding the Machine Learning Model
"Given the complexity of using large amounts of first-party data to build segments, it's important for businesses to understand how the modeling is reaching its conclusions by understanding which features are used to build the model and their relative importance," explained Alex Holub, CEO of Vidora. "In addition, it's important to understand the ultimate goal of the look-alike segment."
For instance, if the goal is to maximize clicks on a marketing campaign, using a machine learning model that directly optimizes for clicks will yield far better performance than a semi-supervised look-alike model.
Holub explained machine learning offers a few key benefits when building look-alike segments:
First, machine learning is continually adapting segments based on the latest information available. By continually learning, machine learning can incorporate new user activities or actions, in addition to broader secular changes which impact behaviors across all users.
Second, machine learning implicitly learns the importance of user behaviors and attributes, which allows machine learning to leverage all available first-party data and implicitly upweight or downweight the importance of each data point.
"In other words, machine learning can incorporate all available first-party data and learn what information is the most important to the model," Holub said.
Cameron noted that it's important to have a clean and correlated data set of your customers that contain like data about each consumer ahead of starting the exercise. "Know the outcome that you are looking for. Any model you're using needs to be developed and applied with an outcome in mind, so figure out what you trying to optimize with this audience," he said.
He recommended using an agile approach to test, learning quickly and ensuring you have a testing plan in place as you begin to act on the audience response. "Know where you plan to activate the audience through and ensure you have the right identity points and integrations to activate on."
Deploying Data Science to Target Groups
Data science platforms can also offer a fast and reliable solution for businesses to model their first-party data. For instance, Vidora's product Cortex helps businesses build, understand and integrate look-alike models into their business within a few days.
"For smaller teams, and teams which need to move quickly, a data science platform can augment productivity and be a great value," Holub said. He added that he currently sees a lot of businesses leverage look-alike modeling as a black box — typically as a component of their DMP.
However, given the increasing organizational dependence on look-alike modeling using first-party data as a key revenue stream, he predicts businesses will begin to leverage more sophisticated data science techniques.
"Using data science techniques should result in both higher quality segments for brands to market to but also segments which align more directly with the brand's goals," he said.
For example, data science techniques outside of look-alike modeling can build segments that directly optimize for user engagement (e.g., clicks), down-stream conversions and increase in brand sentiment (e.g., uplift modeling).
"I think we will see an increasing reliance on real-time data for look-alike models as the number of first-time users and anonymous users increases," Holub added.
Cameron said companies with smaller adtech and data teams need to focus their efforts on developing and optimizing models and understanding their customers and the key data points that drive them, not engineering and cleansing their data.
"Achieving a state of data automation within which they can work with their full audience data, leverage a few key partners to better deploy their audiences and have strict measurement theses that allow them to execute at the same pace as a much larger organization," he explained.

I am a staff member who will no longer be employed at Penn next month, which is prior to the end of the tax year. How can I claim my bicycle commuter expense reimbursement since I will no longer have a valid PennKey and password to access Concur?
Please contact bikecommuter@upenn.edu so that you can receive a form to file for reimbursement. Follow the instructions listed on the reimbursement form. Your completed claim form will only be accepted between January 1 – February 29 after the completion of the tax year.
Why was Concur selected as the platform to submit the expenses associated with bike commuting?
Concur is the University's expense management system. It has afforded Penn the opportunity to utilize a system, already familiar to many employees across campus, for program participants to claim their bike commuter expense reimbursements.
I am not familiar with Concur. How do I learn how to submit my expenses?
A simple guidebook about Requesting Bike Commuter Reimbursement in Concur is available. This step-by-step instructional manual will direct you through the process of uploading your receipts and submitting your expense report for payment. Screenshots will be provided to lead you through the process.
In the interim, should you have any questions about uploading receipts into Concur, please email doftemsupp@pobox.upenn.edu or bikecommuter@upenn.edu.
Will any training be provided for program participants?
In addition to the self-guided instruction manual, information sessions and demos will be provided in the fall.
I am in Concur; however, I do not see the Expense tab. Who should I contact?
The Expense tab is located to the right of the Travel tab at the top of the Concur page. If the tab is not visible, your Concur expense access has not been set up by your school/center. Contact the central business office of your school/center to request access. They are familiar with this Concur process and will complete a special WebADI process to activate the expense tab. Concur updates from WebADI in an overnight process. The following day, once your profile has been established in the system, you will see the Expense tab in Concur.

DISPLAYING ITEMS BY TAG: SLT
Why you should be acting up
Taking on an 'acting' role can be a great way to try out a new role with the safety of knowing it is for a finite amount of time. If you are thinking about moving into leadership, then it can be a perfect way to dip your toe.
The thing about acting positions is that their timing is rarely predictable. In my career, I have acted up twice and gone on secondment twice. The first time, my phase leader damaged her knee and was unable to walk for a term. The most recent time, my head gained a much-deserved role as an SIP (school improvement partner) in a neighbouring county. I was tasked by the governors to take the helm while an experienced replacement could be found.
The main differences between a secondment and acting up are that with a secondment you are able to choose whether to apply. It will be in a different school and usually takes the form of a fixed term contract. With acting up, you may not have a choice! If you are in school leadership and your line manager is absent for any reason, then tag - you're it!
No leader should be an island
The novelist EM Forster exhorted us to "only connect", and the poet John Donne observed that "no man is an island". How can leaders at all levels in education make the most of the community around them, and use the power of collaboration to strengthen their leadership capacity? Whether you are a middle leader, a senior leader, a head, an executive head or a chair of governors, you can develop as a leader by working with and learning from others.
Working with individuals
Throughout your career, there will have been influential role models who have inspired and encouraged you. They may have been leaders or, perhaps, peers for whose professional practice you had admiration and respect. They may have been particularly significant as you developed your self-belief and recognised your own potential. Good mentors and coaches, for example, who could see nascent strengths in you before you even fully recognised those strengths yourself. Have you ever been 'tapped on the shoulder' by someone who has offered you the opportunity to take on something which has given you the chance to learn and grow? Perhaps you were initially hesitant or unsure of your ability to embrace the challenge but, with the support of these key individuals, you stepped up and saw it through, building your expertise and your confidence in the process.
And can you now do this for others? Are there colleagues you recognise have untapped potential and the capacity to go on to even greater achievements, within the classroom and perhaps beyond it? Are you able to spot and nurture their developing talents? You need to support them so that they can demonstrate their ability, rather than simply telling them they have that ability.
Working within and across teams
Consider the current teams within which you work. What is your specific contribution to each team? What do you bring that adds value, and how do your skills and strengths complement what others have to offer? How can you learn from those around you, and what can you contribute which enables others to build their leadership capacity so that the team becomes even more effective – the whole greater than the sum of its parts? It is perhaps too easy to see our specific areas of responsibility as the key focus of our professional activity, and not to take advantage of the opportunity to extend those parameters so that we widen our sphere of influence and develop new skills and areas of expertise.
Certainly if you are a middle or senior leader who anticipates moving to headship in due course, any opportunity to extend your knowledge of new aspects of how schools operate should be embraced – as a head, and the same is true of chairs of governors, you need the breadth of knowledge to take on the strategic responsibility for all elements of the school, to know what questions to ask and to understand the answers, while trusting others to manage the operational detail. That trust must be built on a confident grasp of the Big Picture. What can you learn from those within your current teams which will prepare you for this? And how can you encourage and facilitate the learning of others?
Learning from the wider educational community
Finally, do you look beyond your current school and identify opportunities to learn from members of the wider community? If you engage with educational Twitter, read (and perhaps comment on, and write) blogs, keep up with current education research and development through reading books and articles (organisations like The Chartered College are a good source of such publications, and offer helpful reviews to guide your reading), you should be well on your way to extending your learning by engagement with others from whom you can gain and to whose own professional development you can contribute.
By attending conferences and enrolling on programmes such as a Masters' course, or one of the National Professional suite of qualifications, you secure for yourself entry into a community of educators, perhaps at a similar stage of their leadership journey, which can be energising and productive. As an aspiring or serving woman leader, have you considered what #WomenEd might offer in terms of support (practical and emotional), and could exploring #BAMEed, #DisabilityEd and/or #LGBTed widen your horizons?
So consider where you are in your career, where you might be heading and how you can get there, and what being part of a community of educators can offer both in terms of how you might benefit, and how you can contribute to the development and learning of others.

The Big Question in school leadership
Which preposition: just leading, or leading to, leading with, leading through or leading for? I do love a question that involves a grammatical concept, and this is one that I have been asking for some time.
The challenges of being a school leader are massive now. Our expectations of leaders are huge. I think that we have now reached a point where the rhetoric of leadership is becoming intimidating rather than encouraging. Writing about the matter has become a cottage industry. Indeed, if one read all the books aimed at school leaders, one would never actually have the time to do any leading at all. We are struggling to recruit school heads in many areas. Even during the period when I was a director of Children's Services, we were having to re-advertise posts, sometimes combine schools, and go forward with very limited leads - I honestly believe that things have become more difficult since.
The demands on leaders are greater than ever. Young people are more complex, society more diverse and, at times, more fragmented. Other agencies and institutions are in decline through funding cuts and/or social changes. Increasingly, schools are more isolated, yet face even greater demands to make a difference. They are seen, more and more, as the engines of social mobility, regardless of your view on that (you can read mine in The Working Class edited by Ian Gilbert). Many colleagues argue that they have never felt more accountable, while also feeling less supported. I could go on, but I suspect that if you have read this far, you are already well aware of the pressures on school leaders.
The question, inevitably, is how anyone copes with the challenges.
The worst way to cope is to avoid the preposition. There are still examples of people who harbour ambition for its own sake. They want to be at the top of whatever pole they embarked on climbing and want to be successful for themselves. These sort of leaders tend to display the same patterns of involvement. They don't stay anywhere long. Sometimes they have a dramatic impact in the time that they do stay and even appear to achieve striking successes during their brief tenure. In general, my experience of these sorts of leaders is that they are disruptive rather than constructive. The changes that they bring rarely turn out to be transformative and the successes are inclined to be short-lived.
Reluctant as I am to enter into political controversy, there is a strong argument that policy over Brexit has been bedevilled by leaders prioritising the preservation of power over making genuine progress. School leaders concerned with their own reputation and not driven by a clear sense of purpose are likely to fail over the longer term.
My argument would be that those who choose a preposition for leadership are far more likely to bring substantive improvement for young people. I love field marshall Montgomery's quote:
"My own definition of leadership is this: The capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence."
He is clearly a "leading to" person. Purpose is all and, interestingly, that purpose has to be "common" so clearly he would entertain 'with' as another of his leadership prepositions.
There might be an argument that "leading to" could be seen as far too focussed on outcomes and data, or in achieving targets set for a school. If that was the interpretation one took, it would be a preposition to avoid. Real change comes from the drive to achieve ambitions, and the more dearly held the better, rather than to meet someone else's expectations. That may be where "for" comes into its own. It relates so well to the idea of leadership as service, that one leads for the benefit of others and never for self-aggrandisement. Nelson Mandela was such a wonderful example of that:
"It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership".
That concept of appreciating leadership is another which seems alien when we focus as strongly as we do on the idea of leadership being rooted in drive and challenge. That model is far removed from the idea of leading through.
We should lead through vision. That is implicit in the Montgomery quote; it is writ large in Max DePree's comment:
"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant."
It is a quote that captures so many elements of this discussion. The "reality" of which he speaks aligns with the idea of vision, of creating a way of seeing the context that you are in. That then creates the "for". It certainly captures the sense of "leading with" and "through". For me, the idea of thinking about the prepositions of leadership is neither indulgent or obscure. It is just another way of taking us into the fundamental questions about how we should lead. I tend to go with Fuchan Yang, when he says:
"There are three essentials to leadership: humility, clarity and courage."
We need to be doing more than just leading. The self-satisfaction of that will only sustain the most narcissistic. For any of us who have a shred of self-doubt and, more importantly, an ambition to add value to the lives of young people and their communities, it will never offer enough. Adding a preposition just might.
Don't fail your students' future
At the end of 2017, apprenticeship and skills minister Anne Milton released the Careers Strategy, outlining practical solutions in order to create a thriving careers system that is accessible to "everyone, whatever their age, to go as far as their talents will take them to have a rewarding career".
6 steps to pupil tracking perfection
Since creating the first version of Classroom Monitor over 12 years ago, I have seen both technology and assessment change beyond recognition. Now, pupil trackers come in all shapes and sizes; whether it's using Excel or a web-based assessment application, you need to do more than just collect data. My founding principle has always been that assessment systems should fundamentally: save time, follow your specific curriculum and engage all your school stakeholders with actionable insights. But how should schools choose the best assessment solution for them?
Making staff happier may be easier than you think
A typically time-pressed Secondary school teacher, Rob spends most evenings planning lessons, marking work, grappling with new specifications, deciphering mark schemes and pondering issues of behaviour management. In his third year of teaching English, he enjoys his work, but increasingly feels there's just not enough hours in the day. Oh, and he's just learnt he'll be picking up a GCSE Drama class in September…
9 ways to blend tradition with innovation
With a history as long as ours, it won't come as a surprise that we've learnt a thing or two about teaching boys along the way. The past 175 years has taught us much about understanding boys and how to motivate them to perform to the best of their ability. We greatly value our heritage and traditions, and our school motto - 'Supera Moras', or 'Never Give Up' - still inspires our way of thinking.
Changing the future through careers education [interview]
Stephen Logan is both a school leader and an expert on careers education (as director of National Careers Week), so we absolutely had to rendezvous with the Yorkshire-based educator to pick his brain...
21st century learning through courageous leadership
We live in age where there is unprecedented pressure on schools and school leaders. The pressure of a challenging and ever-changing Ofsted framework, budgets which are paper-thin, progress measures which force us to compare our pupils with other children nationally, and some of the most academically-stretching testing expectations ever. It's enough to make the most experienced of school leaders crumble. Set against this context, it is easy to see why many school leaders are turning to formulaic and rigid schemes of work, as well as practises that promise to drive up pupil outcomes and produce the goods in terms of pupil attainment.
The leaders disrupting by being 10% braver!
When there's a push to disrupt the status quo, those that feel most comfortable within it become defensive; questioning the change and downplaying it, or perhaps even claiming there is no problem. They may go one step further and warn of dire consequences, claiming the privileged will become the disenfranchised, which they'll argue is no better than the current system. People are resistant to change, especially if they benefit from the current norm.

Riverside Fence Dismays Walkers | Street Talk (Old) | Style Weekly - Richmond, VA local news, arts, and events.
Art dealer Robert E. Crawford, who built the yard-high wooden fence on his 8-acre property at 7751 Riverside Drive, says he's within his rights and has heard no other complaints. "We're not trying to be ugly to anybody," he says. A sturdy fence is needed, he maintains, to prevent cars from parking on the bank and trespassers from venturing onto his land. A short, dilapidated cable-and-post barrier stood on the site before.
Crawford knows the area is a popular spot for recreation, but he says he's tired of bad behavior. People have thrown beer cans and bottles on his property, he says, stolen a small boat of his and blocked with their cars the driveway winding up to his imposing house above the river.
Still, Wolf counters, "it seems like just a horrendous abuse of private property." She says the real issue is what restrictions are placed on landowners along the river. The chest-high fence Crawford built could just as easily have been an impenetrable 6-foot privacy wall, she says, as there are no zoning restrictions that dictate the public's right to a view.
Public use of private property is an issue perpetually confronting Ralph White, manager of the James River Park system. White says he understands why Crawford would want to discourage park users from going in the water and possibly getting hurt.
But a Virginia statute takes legal liability off the shoulders of private landowners when they allow the public to use their property, he says. Hence, "If you stub your toe, it's your fault."
The fence on the riverbank, which White calls "a cattle chute for people," took White by surprise. "It is a detriment to public use of this beautiful area," he says, "and it pushes people into traffic, which is most unfortunate."


During the campaign Obama said that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.
Barack Obama is making a surprise trip to Baghdad.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki unexpectedly cancelled a scheduled visit to Tehran, which was to follow an official visit to Turkey.
Reliable sources explained that Maliki's sudden return to Baghdad has to do with the possibility that U.S. president-elect Barack Obama might be visiting U.S. troops in Iraq during Christmas.
Source: Al-Wasat, Iraq, December 24, 2008.
Aswat Aliraq is reporting that Prime Minister al-Maliki is heading back to Iraq from Turkey and has put off his visit to see Ahmadinejad in Tehran.
Do you think he's ready to admit the surge (he was against) was a great success, yet?

Christian Erickson is one half of the electronic duo The Sevateem and a major Dr. Who nerd. Not only did he name the band after one of the tribes in the series, he went one step further and created an entire Rock Opera about what's arguably the best serial of the show, The Caves of Androzani. The album tells the story of the serial through the eyes of several characters as The Sevateem effortlessly fill the room with atmospheric beats and effortless melodies.
Much like Dr. Who, The Sevateem aim to take us on a journey across space and time. The expertly crafted synthesizer and keyboard sections bring an air of weightlessness as the guitars, arrangements and broken-beat percussion work fill the void to create a tremendously atmospheric vibe. The record is also remarkably versatile despite having such a focused stylistic direction. Spectrox and Work for Me are bright tracks that lend The Caves an easy-going start. The affair's drama increases soon, as Pay For This tales a tale of revenge while Is It Wrong? focuses on mistrust. There's also a lovely series of four interludes included, some of which don't even feature percussion. It is in these four cuts where The Sevateem appear at their most atmospheric and cinematic, leaving storytelling behind in favor of pure sonic landscapes. Other songs such as Here Alive and I've Taken Everything, add length to the album without sacrificing the sonic qualities of the record.
At the end of the day, The Caves feels like a tremendously meaty, delightfully realized space opera album. A treat to the ears and the mind, matching the grandeur of the sci-fi work that inspired it.

Christian tradition is a collection of traditions consisting of practices or beliefs associated with Christianity. These ecclesiastical traditions have more or less authority based on the nature of the practices or beliefs and on the group in question. Many churches have traditional practices, such as particular patterns of worship or rites, that developed over time. Deviations from such patterns are sometimes considered unacceptable or heretical. There are certain Christian traditions that are practiced throughout the liturgical year, such as praying a daily devotional during Advent, erecting a nativity scene during Christmastide, chalking the door on Epiphany Day, fasting during Lent, waving palms on Palm Sunday, eating easter eggs during Eastertide, and decorating the church in red on Pentecost.

Tradition also includes historic teaching of the recognized church authorities, such as Church Councils and ecclesiastical officials (e.g., the Pope, Patriarch of Constantinople, Archbishop of Canterbury, etc.), and includes the teaching of significant individuals like the Church Fathers, the Protestant Reformers, and the founders of denominations. Many creeds, confessions of faith, and catechisms generated by these bodies, and individuals are also part of the traditions of various bodies.

Tradition and ecclesial traditions
The Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Persian churches distinguish between what is called Apostolic or sacred tradition and ecclesiastical traditions. In the course of time ecclesial traditions develop in theology, discipline, liturgy, and devotions. These the Church may retain, modify or even abandon. Apostolic tradition, on the other hand, is the teaching that was handed down by the Apostles by word of mouth, by their example and "by the institutions they established", among which is the apostolic succession of the bishops: "this living transmission, accomplished in the Holy Spirit, is called Tradition". "And [Holy] Tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of God, which has been entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit."

Prima scriptura is upheld by the Anglican and Methodist traditions of Christianity, which teach that Scripture is the primary source for Christian doctrine, but that "tradition, experience, and reason" can subordinately inform Christian practice as long as they are in harmony with the Bible. In Methodism, sacred tradition refers to "church's consensual interpretation of the Bible" and in view of the prima scriptura perspective, informs doctrine, such as that regarding infant baptism for example, in which Methodist teaching appeals to Scripture chiefly, along with the teachings of the Church Fathers and early Methodist divines for support of the practice.

For many denominations of Christianity, included in sacred tradition are the writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, Nicene Fathers and Post-Nicene Fathers.

In his book, James F. Keenan reports studies by some Catholic academics. A study by Bernard Hoose states that claims to a continuous teaching by the Church on matters of sexuality, life and death and crime and punishment are "simply not true". After examining seven medieval texts about homosexuality, Mark Jordan argues that, "far from being consistent, any attempt to make a connection among the texts proved impossible". He calls the tradition's teaching of the Church "incoherent". Karl-Wilhelm Merks considers that tradition itself is "not the truth guarantor of any particular teaching." Keenan, however, says that studies of "manualists" such as John T. Noonan Jr. has demonstrated that, "despite claims to the contrary, manualists were co-operators in the necessary historical development of the moral tradition." Noonan, according to Keenan, has provided a new way of viewing at "areas where the Church not only changed, but shamefully did not".

Branches
In the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodoxy, sacred tradition, but not "ecclesial traditions", is considered official doctrine and of equal authoritative weight to the Bible. In the Anglican and Methodist traditions, sacred tradition, along with reason and experience, inform Christian practice at a level subordinate to Sacred Scripture (see prima scriptura). Among the Lutheran and Reformed traditions of Christianity, the Bible itself is the only final authority (see sola scriptura), but tradition still plays an important supporting role. All three groups generally accept the traditional developments on the doctrine of the Trinity, for instance, and set bounds of orthodoxy and heresy based on that tradition. They also have developed creedal and confessional statements which summarize and develop their understanding of biblical teaching.

SHE danced the cha-cha with former prime minister Kevin Rudd and the macarena with then-treasurer Peter Costello.
She has interviewed everyone from Donald Trump to Priscilla Presley, Russell Crowe and Pauline Hanson.
Now the Logies will finally acknowledge what TV fans have known for decades - Kerri-Anne Kennerley truly is television royalty.
Known affectionately as KAK, the much-loved 63-year-old has been inducted into the Logie Hall of Fame after 50 years in television, becoming only the third woman to make the list.
And no one could be prouder than her husband John, who will be by her side in his wheelchair after breaking his neck last year.
"This is our 31st Logies together because I've only missed a couple since I started," Kennerley said. "I've always loved the Logies, it is such a great night to catch up with everyone and to celebrate the industry."
Organisers of the annual TV Week Logie Awards have been under pressure to recognise more females, particularly in the Hall of Fame category, introduced in 1984.
The only other female recipients are Ruth Cracknell, inducted in 2001, and Noni Hazlehurst, who was honoured last year.
Kennerley got her start in show business at age 13, appearing in 1967 on children's TV shows The Channel Niners and Everybody In.
Kennerley, whose TV credits also include Good Morning Australia, Midday with Kerri-Anne, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, and Celebrity Apprentice, was nominated for successive Gold Logies from 1997 to 1999, and in several other categories.
But she has never taken a gong home.
Of the secret behind her TV appeal, she said: "Real suburban stories of fabulous Australians who touched our hearts, to me they were the most heart-rendering and important stories."
Over the years, Kennerley has dabbled in acting, appearing in TV soap The Restless Years in 1981, and competed on Dancing With The Stars.
"Kerri-Anne has had a long, successful career, covering most timeslots and many networks," industry commentator and Mediaweek editor James Manning said.
"She has carved a position in an industry that has been harder to do historically if you are a woman."
Kennerley was treated for breast cancer in 2012 and missed last year's Logies after John, her husband of 33 years, fell while holidaying at Coffs Harbour. He spent nine months in hospital, returning home at Christmas.
The Logies was his first red-carpet event since.
"John is not going to do the red carpet with me because his wheelchair is a bit unwieldy and he'd probably run over a few stars. His power chair is 180kg and it can go fast so we thought best not to do red carpet."

Leveraging natural resources for Biodiversity Financing through Eco-Tourism initiatives
Eco-Tourism Awareness Programme for Tour Guides and Tour Operators in Dambulla
Ceylon DigestJune 8, 2022
As one of the World's 36 biodiversity hotspots, Sri Lanka has the highest biodiversity per unit area of land among all Asian countries. Protecting our unique and diverse ecosystems is vital in the fight against accelerating climate change and as an indicator of the health and resilience of the environment. Along with protecting Sri Lanka's biodiversity, we must look at the economic aspects of biodiversity conservation and livelihood management. To ensure the sustainability of managing biodiverse locations such as national parks, arboretums, bird parks and wetlands, it is necessary to explore innovative methods of raising financing.
Tourism is an effective method of leveraging and mobilizing available natural resources for biodiversity financing. Accordingly, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Sri Lanka supported the Biodiversity Secretariat of the Ministry of Environment (MoE) in Sri Lanka to conduct an awareness programme for tour guides and tour operators to promote eco-tourism in Dambulla at the NIFS-Popham Arboretum. This programme was conducted recently as a part of the "Environment Week" declared by the MoE to celebrate World Environment Day on 5 June. As such, 2 June was named Biodiversity Day, and the awareness programme was conducted in honour of this.
Given the ongoing economic crisis in Sri Lanka, reliance only on state funding for conservation and protection is simply not sustainable. Accordingly, exploring methods of achieving financial sustainability for biodiversity conservation is vital. The sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity for livelihood and income generation is one such method of ensuring conservation whilst empowering communities in the surrounding areas.
An arboretum is a botanical collection composed of a wide variety of species and trees. The NIFS-Popham Arboretum is situated 2.5 km away from Dambulla and was gifted to the National Institute of Fundamental Studies (NIFS) in 1989 to carry out research and educational activities. This arboretum hosts many local and foreign researchers for ecological research purposes and is a popular tourist destination due to its unique biodiversity. The arboretum has rich vegetation of over 200 plant species and a variety of unique fauna to be found, and it acts as a restoration site for valuable and endangered indigenous forest species.
There is significant potential for the arboretum to be further developed as an eco-tourism destination as it hosts many activities such as day and night safaris, camping, and offers other lodging and research facilities. The MoE has planned to develop this arboretum into a profitable and sustainable eco-tourism venture, whilst ensuring the maintenance of its unique and precious ecology. Speaking at the workshop, Dr. R. D. S. Jayathunga from the Ministry of Environment stated, "Biodiversity in Sri Lanka has faced many challenges. Eco-tourism has been identified as a major area to promote the conservation of biodiversity… It contributes to community development."
UNDP in Sri Lanka and the European Union (EU) have come together to support the revitalization of Sri Lanka's Tourism Industry together with the Ministry of Tourism. With the overall support provided through the 'Transforming Tourism in Sri Lanka: Emerging from crisis as a strong, resurgent and rebranded industry' project, this awareness programme was only a step in developing this arboretum as a tourist experience, and it aims to provide tour guides and operators in the area with the knowledge to promote it as a sustainable nature-based experience. The participants were enriched with knowledge of the arboretum's biodiversity value, the role of a tour guide in eco-tourism practices, and eco-tourism opportunities in the arboretum, with space provided for guides to share their ideas and experiences as well.
Commenting on the EU's overall support to the Tourism Industry, Ms. Harshani Halangode from the EU stated, "with the valuable partnership with UNDP, we aim to revitalize and transform the tourism industry into a resilient, sustainable, and intrinsic sector. We are pleased to help upscale tour guides and tour operators in the area, supporting livelihoods, providing skills development for youth, and supporting rural communities".
The collaboration between the EU and UNDP signifies the critical importance of tourism to Sri Lanka's economic recovery at this critical juncture. Speaking on the partnership, Ms. Malin Herwig, Deputy Resident Representative of UNDP in Sri Lanka stated, "In close partnership with the EU, we are working to protect natural and cultural assets, so that they are protected for tourism, and other needs and sectors. With the generous support of the EU for the Transforming Tourism Project, we are building initiatives to lay the foundation for more investments in an innovative and nature-based tourism sector".
The Transforming Tourism Project aims to address the urgent needs of the industry, strengthening the institutional framework and capacity to set it on a trajectory for a greener, more resilient future with a focus on such initiatives targeted at biodiversity conservation through the sustainable use of natural resources for livelihood and income generation.
