When you work with gym members or rehab patients, you want to make sure you have the best equipment on your hands. A big part of ensuring your gym equipment is at its best is to use proper storage. Workout mats are no exception to this rule. No matter the size of your gym or rehab facility, having a clear and effective method to store your gym mats when not in use helps to maintain their integrity and prevent injury. Gym mat storage devices provide a solution to poorly stored mats.
Why Use a Storage Device for Workout Mats?
Leaving workout mats on the floor between uses might seem like a simple solution, but when laid flat they pose a tripping hazard for anyone walking by. Rolling your mats and leaning them against the wall can cause the same problem, especially if they tip. Both of these methods of gym mat storage can look messy, which may give your clients a negative impression. Storage devices (such as a mat cart or a mat rack) keep your mats off the floor, keeping them neater, out of the way of passing feet, and safe from damage.
What's the Best Gym Mat Storage Strategy for Me?
Finding the best way to store your gym mats largely depends on how you use them. For some fitness professionals, a wall mounted mat rack or standing mat rack is ideal. These racks provide space to hang mats vertically, clearing up floor space and making cleaning easier. You'll find them in a variety of sizes, making it easy to find one that matches your needs. If you run a yoga studio or conduct a class in a gym where all mat-related activities take place in a single room, this type of mat may work well for you. However, if you need to move your mats from place to place, a rolling mat cart is a more appropriate choice. These sturdy carts have room for dozens of mats and can fit through standard doorways, so you have the opportunity to bring your mats with you from location to location.Keeping your workout mats in good shape helps them last longer and better serve your clients. Gym mat storage devices are a great tool in making sure your mats remain safe and well maintained.


A legendary cult show, this wacky, intelligent, highly unconventional musical points ahead to Stephen Sondheim's ground-breaking work in the 1970's even as it keeps a foot firmly rooted in musical theatre's "golden age."
The dazzling, melodic Broadway-style score overflows with the youthful energy of experimentation, consisting of one showstopper after another.
Society, government and religion are lampooned in this unconventional satire of small town life giving us the show that inaugurated the Sondheim we know today.

The rules can be confusing, especially if you don't have a rule book and you have to take the word of someone else that might not know the rules either.
Q: I was playing a round with a friend last week and a situation came up that we'd never experienced. We both landed our balls on the fringe of the green, but not on the green. I wanted to putt my ball but my friend's ball was in my line. She marked her ball and picked it up to allow me to putt. Another golfer told us she should suffer a penalty for lifting her ball when off the green. Could or should she lift the ball to facilitate my shot, and if she does, is there a penalty? Joan D.
A: The rules can be confusing, especially if you don't have a rule book and you have to take the word of someone else that might not know the rules either.
I will make a few suggestions to you that might help you in the future and give you the ruling below.
First, get a rule book. Read through it and put it in your golf bag.
A ball to be lifted under the Rules may be lifted by the player, his partner or another person authorized by the player. In any such case, the player is responsible for any breach of the Rules.
The position of the ball must be marked before it is lifted under a Rule that requires it to be replaced. If it is not marked, the player incurs a penalty of one stroke and the ball must be replaced. If it is not replaced, the player incurs the general penalty for breach of this Rule but there is no additional penalty under Rule 20-1.
If a ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved in the process of lifting the ball under a Rule or marking its position, the ball or ball-marker must be replaced. There is no penalty, provided the movement of the ball or ball-marker is directly attributable to the specific act of marking the position of or lifting the ball. Otherwise, the player incurs a penalty of one stroke under this Rule or Rule 18-2.
Except when a ball is in motion, if a player considers that another ball might interfere with his play, he may have it lifted.
A ball lifted under this Rule must be replaced (see Rule 20-3). The ball must not be cleaned, unless it lies on the putting green (see Rule 21).
In stroke play, a player required to lift his ball may play first rather than lift the ball.
Note 1: Except on the putting green, a player may not lift his ball solely because he considers that it might interfere with the play of another player. If a player lifts his ball without being asked to do so, he incurs a penalty of one stroke for a breach of Rule 18-2, but there is no additional penalty under Rule 22.
Note 2: When another ball is in motion, a ball that might influence the movement of the ball in motion must not be lifted.
Match play: Loss of hole; Stroke play: Two strokes.

Infrequently Asked Questions about Ian Suttie:
Who was Ian Dishart Suttie?
He was a Scottish-born medical doctor and psychoanalyst.
In his last years he worked at the Tavistock Clinic which was the refuge of
deviationists from psychoanalytic orthodoxy.
He wrote one book, The Origins of Love and Hate, which was in press when he died from a perforated duodenal ulcer in 1935.
Why bother to revive his ideas?
To set the historical record straight and give credit where it is due.
His ideas had the potential to transform the psychoanalytic movement into a
more scientific psychology, integrated on one side with biology and
medicine, on the other with sociology and anthropology. At the same time his metapsychology, the philosophical underpinnings of the theories, does not lend itself to the anti-humanitarian and reductive "nothing but" message that has often been propagated as a corollary of Freud's theories.
What were his leading ideas?
In company with some other pioneering neo-Freudian deviationists such as Sandor Ferenczi and John Hadfield, Suttie challenged Freudian orthodoxy along these lines:
a) The human infant starts out in a state of non-sexual union with
the mother. That is the paradigm of love.
b) The great challenge of psychic development is separation from the
mother. The trauma of badly negotiated separation from the love-object
gives rise to hate.
c) The main task of early childhood is coming to terms with independence.
d) Coming to terms with genital sexuality is not a task of early childhood
and the notion of sexual rivalry with the father is a fiction, a construction put on the jealousy of the child confronted with another person who
makes claims upon the mother.
e) The great range of human activities including religion, science and
culture can be seen as autonomous activities and not derivatives or
sublimations of the sexual impulse.
In addition to his central ideas, did he make any significant contribution to the tools and methods of psychoanalysis?
His evolutionary approach and his use of animal studies was novel at that
time and his use of anthropological information was more critical and creative
than that of Freud and his followers.
How were his ideas received?
His best known follower is probably John Bowlby who wrote a series of major
books on the theme "Attachment and Loss". His ideas contributed to the dissident movement known as "object relations theory" which has challenged orthodox opinion in psychoanalysis that is apparently still dominated by a powerful and conservative professional leadership.

How to analyze the quality of a sensory panel with XLSTAT-MX?
An Excel workbook with both the data and the results can be downloaded by clicking here.
The data used in this tutorial correspond to the evaluation of 14 different ski shoes by 15 skiers (hereunder referred to as assessors) with experience in sensory tests for the clothing industry. 6 descriptors have been used by the 15 assessors to rate the shoes.
Once XLSTAT is activated, select the XLSTAT-MX / Panel analysis command (see below), or click the corresponding button of the XLSTAT-MX toolbar.
Select the data on the Excel sheet. As a session factor is available here, we activate the option and select the corresponding column.
Several models are possible depending on whether you select a session, you want a model with or without interactions between the factors, and whether you consider that the assessor and session (repetition) are random or fixed effects. Random factors are considered as random variables with mean 0 and a given variance. This means that you consider that, once the product effect is taken into account, the other effects are purely due to randomization. This is only valid if you can consider that there is no structural difference between assessors or between sessions. These assumptions can be checked in the analyses that follow.
After you have clicked on the OK button, the computations start. As many charts are created it can take some time before you can move in the results sheet. We recommend that you do not click in Excel until the arrow cursor is back.
The first table corresponds to basic summary statistics for the various input variables. You can use the information on the minimum and maximum to make sure there are no absurd values for the descriptors.
The first step of the analysis consists in running on ANOVA on the whole dataset for each descriptor one after the other, in order to identify descriptors for which there is no product effect. For each descriptor, the table of Type III SS of the ANOVA is displayed for the selected model. If there is no product effect for a descriptor, meaning if the p-value is higher than a given threshold, that descriptor can be removed from the analysis, as long as the corresponding option has been checked in the Options tab of the dialog box. The table below corresponds to the table for the Smoothness.
Then, a summary table allows comparing the p-values of the product effect for the different descriptors. The analyses that follow will only be conducted for the descriptors that allow discriminating the products, meaning for all descriptors for which the p-value is lower than 0.05 as we entered that threshold in the dialog box. In our particular case, there is a product effect for all descriptors so all the descriptors remain the next steps.
The second step consists of a graphical analysis. For the 6 descriptors, box plots and strip plots are displayed. We can thus see how, for each descriptor, different assessors use the rating scale to evaluate the different products. On the box plot for Smoothness we can see that assessors 9 and 15, while having a similar mean, use the rating scale differently. We can also see that assessors 3,4,5,6 and 7, while using similar ranges of rating tend to rate differently in terms of position. Of course, such plots do not tell you anything about the agreement between assessors: you could see a case where, while the box plots look very much the same, the product corresponding to the minimum for an assessor (minimum and maximum values are displayed with blue dots on the box plots) might correspond to the maximum of the other assessor.
We now want to check whether the assessors agree for the different descriptors, and how the descriptors bring different rating possibilities (are they correlated or not). The third step starts with the restructuring of the data table, in order to have a table containing one row per product and one column per pair of assessor and descriptor - if there are several sessions, the table contains averages - followed by a PCA on this same table. The PCA is performed on standardized data.
The chart displayed below corresponds to the same PCA correlation plot replicated for each descriptor, highlighting in red the dots the 15 (assessor,descriptor) pairs corresponding to the descriptor mentioned in the title. This allows checking in one step the extent to which assessors agree or not for all descriptors, once the effect of position and scale is removed (because the PCA is performed on standardized data).
The following chart gives for each pair of (assessor,descriptor) the % of variance carried by the PCA plot. In dark grey you can see the % carried by the first axis and in light grey the % of variance carried by the second axis. We see that for smoothness, there are different groups of assessors, with assessors (8,9,10) that are more related to the second axis but still badly represented. We can also confirm that Elasticity and Closing are close and carried by the second axis.
To study more precisely the relationship between descriptors, an MFA (multiple factor analysis) plot of the descriptors is displayed. The MFA is based on a table in which there are as many subtables as there are descriptors, where each subtable contains the averages for each product (rows) by each judge (columns).
During the fourth step, an ANOVA is performed for each assessor separately, and for each of the 6 descriptors, in order to check whether there is a product effect or not, to verify for each assessor if he/she is able to distinguish the products using the available descriptors. A table is displayed for each assessor to show if there is a product effect or not for the various descriptors. The p-values are displayed in bold font if they are lower than the threshold defined in the Options tab of the dialog box. The p-values displayed in bold correspond to descriptors for which the assessor was able to differentiate the products. The table below corresponds to that table for assessor 1. We can see that this assessor was able to differentiate the products using Feet feeling and Elasticity.
A summary table is then used to count for each assessor the number of descriptors for which he was able to differentiate the products. The corresponding percentage is displayed. This percentage is a simple measure of the discriminating power of assessors. The percentages are then displayed on a bar chart.
For the fifth step, a global table initially presents ratings (averaged over the sessions if available) for each assessor in rows, and each pair (product,descriptor) in columns. It is followed by a series of tables and charts to compare, product by product, assessors (averaged over the possible repetitions) for the set of descriptors. These charts can be used to identify strong trends and possible atypical ratings for some assessors. The red line corresponds to the average value over all assessors for the product of interest and the blue line the assessor selected in the list at the top left of the chart. In the example below we can see that assessor 10 rated product 7 below the average for Smoothness and Touch, and close to the average for the other descriptors.
The sixth step allows identifying atypical assessors through the measure for each product of the Euclidean distance of each assessor to an average for all assessors in the space of all the descriptors. A table showing these distances for each product and the minimum and maximum computed over all assessors, allows identifying assessors that are close to or far from the consensus. The following chart allows visualizing these distances. The lower the distance, the closer the assessor to the consensus (the centroid). Value 0 corresponds to the average over all assessors. If for a given product, all assessors would give the same rating for all descriptors, the Min and Max would be 0 for that product. If an assessor would give exactly the value corresponding to the average obtained over the other descriptors, we would have the minimum equal to zero for that product. In the example below, we see that assessor 4 does not agree with the other assessors except for product 10 where his rating is closer to the average.
As a "session" variable was selected, the seventh step checks if for some assessors there is a session effect, typically an order effect. This is assessed using a Wilcoxon signed rank test as there are only two sessions (in the case of 3 or more sessions, a Friedman test is used). The test is calculated on all products, descriptor by descriptor. We can see in the table below that for 4 descriptors out of 6, there is a session effect for assessor 1, based on the non parametric test. We can also see that for Feet feeling there is a session effect for 9 assessors out of 15.
Then, for each assessor and each descriptor, we calculate which is the maximum observed range between sessions across products. You can see the product that corresponds to the maximum range by leaving the mouse over the red triangle that is displayed in each cell. For example we see that there is a high range for assessor 15 on Smoothness and that it corresponds to product 8. In our particular case we see here that there are high ranges for most pairs of (assessor,descriptor). This makes the validity of this survey questionable.
As for each triple (assessor,product,descriptor) there exists at least one rating, the eighth step consists of a classification of the assessors. The classification is first performed on the raw data, then on the standardized data to eliminate possible effects of scale and position.
Finally a table preformatted for Generalized Procrustean Analysis (GPA) is displayed in case you want to run a GPA.

nacra 17 top speed
The CE design category indicates the ability to cope with certain weather conditions (the sailboat is designed for these conditions). Launched in 1997, Scuttlebutt provides sailing news with a North American focus. EGM submissions for Voting May 21st, 2018. The Nacra has been converted to a sailing hydrofoil for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. ISAF World Cups events, World Championships and additional continental championships where the elite sailors of the World in the catamaran race each other on the Nacra 17, the ultimate Olympic fleet racing. The modern NACRA 17 also offers the sailors in the Mixed Multihull Event the exciting challenge of mastering the potential lift of the curved daggerboards. There's two things that can lead to failure. So, yes, I get involved in whatever is needed for us to succeed. I'm not just a coach. Compared to an F16 class catamaran, it is 250mm longer, 100mm wider, has a taller mast and more sail area, and curved dagger boards. To trim the centerboards, which are your lift agents, the sailors are running up and down the hull. Detailed sailboat specifications and datasheets since 2015, Standard public price ex. When you're ripping along and all of a sudden, the ride height's too high, you must adjust the foil angle which means moving forward and trimming in to get the bow down. The boats are very fast, but that does heighten the safety issue. The Nara 17 is the only Olympic class that's of mixed gender and we're learning how we need to treat it more like a business. There are exceptions. A performer in its own right, the Nacra 15 is also a smaller version of the original Olympic Nacra 17 Mixed Multihull, creating a true Olympic pathway. You're still moving when you come down. There's a world of difference between teams assembled for a particular championship, and teams assembled for Olympic campaigns. Cavitation is essentially when the water boils. For example, the Moth has the bow wand that automatically changes the foil's angle of attack to promote level flight, but the Nacra doesn't have that feature. He stuffed his bows pretty hard, and when the boat stops the sailors can get flung forward. The boat was initially designed before foiling became widespread, so the new foils now lift the boat but there are still limitations in how you can adjust the foil angle. The success for the Nacra 17 program in the US is that this group works together, which isn't necessarily easy as only one team will go to the Games. 2018 April EGM Submissions. VAT (indicative only). [1], The Nacra 17 was specifically created to meet the criteria laid down for the new olympic discipline a first for Olympic sailing a mixed crewed boat. The Nacra 17 is a performance catamaran used for sailing.It was designed in 2011, went into production in 2012 and has been the focus of multihull sailing at the Olympic Games since its conception.. However, I think it's really important for me, in the end, to let any change be their decision. Portsmouth Yardstick is an empirical rating system allowing small sailboats (dinghies included), of different sizes and designs, to race each other fairly. The F18 is also quite a heavy boat for its length and could be made lighter, but the hull volume and surface area would be needlessly large for a lighter Olympic spec F18 platform. Foiling Nacra 17 . Boat-Specs.com uses cookies to improve user experience. A wild beast to tame... - Olympic Nacra 17 sailing - YouTube In your position, how much of a relationship counselor do you become? In May 2012 the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) selected the Nacra 17 as the equipment for the mixed multihull event at Rio 2016. The Nacra Inter 17 is a 17'2" (5.25m) single handed sport/beach catamaran designed by Roscoe Guinea (Australia). There's been some shuffling of sailors amid your top teams. But in the Nacra, you do the opposite. Look for the latest information to be posted on the website, with the highlights distributed Monday through Friday in the e-Newsletter. Sustained 15 is pretty good, especially if the wind is only 14ish or so. The curve boards also give an added dimension to the sailing. I try not to encourage change, just like I try not to tell them who they should sail with. However, ventilation is air coming down from the top and we do that. Featuring curved dagger boards providing vertical lift, the NACRA 17 will carry a wider –range of crew weight better than the 16 footers and is considerably lighter than a Formula 18. A broad reach, & a good blow will give sustained stretches of 16-18 mph. We call it a splat cause you're foiling high and then all of a sudden you slap the water with your hull but you're still moving so it isn't violent. So it's against every instinct you have. Before the foils were changed, there was some lift but there were also some control problems. But for those who need your fix of the old Scuttlebutt, you can visit the old site, for a limited time. Designed specifically for the Mixed Multihull criteria the Evaluation Panel concluded the NACRA 17 is seen as the best option.

The philosophy of education of Jacques Maritain and religious education
Luz M Ibarra, Fordham University
This dissertation proposes Maritain's philosophy of education as a crucial tool for any attempt by us to recover certain valuable truths and fundamental principles for the solution of the educational dilemmas of the present day, especially those of religious education. This dissertation seeks to make the case for Maritain's thought as a source of light, direction, foundation, and integration in the field of religious education. Maritain's thoughts offer a model for the specific field of religious education, in both theory and practice. This dissertation is an accurate study of the Catholic philosophy of education of Maritain as set forth in his published writings. We attempt to demonstrate that this philosophy of his is still relevant, and that a consideration of the philosophical-religious idea of the human person is an indispensable point of departure for any educational theory. This dissertation proposes the philosophy of education as necessary in religious education. It fosters unity by considering the human person as unity. Maritain's theocentric humanism stresses not only the relation between God and humanity, but that between humanity and the world. His thinking fosters unity in a religious education that becomes a liberating process, and a process that conforms with the goal of religious education: to deliver persons from all that can present an obstacle to their being united to God by fostering the spiritual life of religious educators and society alike. This liberating process helps human beings to become who they really are and can be put into practice through religious educational programs including theology and spirituality in the curriculum. Maritain's philosophy of education applied to religious education fosters community life and active participation within it.

La Isla Grande o Isla Grand (en inglés: Grand Island) es el nombre que recibe una isla larga y boscosa cerca de la localidad de Grand Island, en Nebraska en Estados Unidos. La isla era conocida por los comerciantes franceses como La Grande Isle. Grand Island, fue formada por el río Wood y un canal del río Platte . Era la ubicación original del pueblo de Grand Island, Nebraska, pero la ciudad fue más tarde trasladada al norte del río Wood. Los colonos que tenían la intención de crear un asentamiento allí llegaron el 4 de julio de 1857, y en septiembre se habían construido viviendas con madera local. La isla perdió su forma orinal porque  el río Wood ya no tiene conexión occidental al Platte.

Keeping an 8th grade student's attention for five minutes is hard enough, imagine doing so for a whole class period. However, students won't learn effectively if you can't find a way to keep them interested and attentive throughout the entire class.
More than their younger or older counterparts, 8th grade students often have a particularly hard time focusing on lesson plans because many of them are experiencing physical, intellectual and emotional changes related to adolescence. In their report, "Young Adolescent Learner," former educators Fran Salyers and Carol McKee document many of the changes 8th graders may experience which can affect their attention spans in school.
Developmental Changes: The adolescent brain is growing and the individual is often developing intellectual, social and emotional characteristics.
Physical Development: Eighth grade students are developing physically, sexually and emotionally and are often experiencing quickly changing hormone levels.
Social Development: Adolescents often are building their adult personalities, basic values and attitudes during 8th grade. They also are seeking autonomy and independence, while also reaching out to peers for friendship and camaraderie.
Here are some strategies you can use to keep your 8th grade students' attention while teaching them important course material.
A warm-up period allows your pupils to re-examine what was learned the day before and get ready to learn new material. What was learned yesterday is many times connected to what you are teaching today, so this strategy improves student understanding as well. During this warm-up period, let your class brainstorm, think aloud, discuss recent material and predict the content of the next lesson.
Explain a concept to your class using a problem or scenario to get them interested in the lesson. Ask students to explain what you have just taught by describing concepts in their own words. When students don't understand material, they stop paying attention, so allow them to ask questions and clear any misconceptions they have about the lesson.
When you teach, break the bigger lesson into small steps. You can do this by creating several problems or questions relating to each concept you cover. Talking or lecturing for long periods of time can cause your students to lose interest in the material. Instead, consider doing a brief lecture in the context of a problem, followed by a handful of related problems to work on as a class, then let students try on their own. Use facilitative teaching techniques by asking leading questions that help generate understanding.
Designing lessons that consider sensory motor experiences always keeps 8th grade students interested. Introduce touch, smell, emotion and music into your lessons and your class will stay attentive. Adding a sensory motor experience to help your students solve problems and answer questions, not only focuses their learning, but also helps to build the complex neuron connections within the brain.
Ask questions about the lesson as you teach, and call on students who have a difficult time focusing. Adding the element of surprise to a lesson keeps students attentive, and their minds are stimulated, trying to anticipate the answers to your questions. Maybe even try starting a fun game of popcorn, where students can call on each other during the lesson.
For the final 10 or 20 minutes of class, ask students to complete a small assignment mirroring your lesson. Allowing students to take control and begin working on their own involves them in the learning process. Make sure that the assignment is rigorous but not overwhelming, and monitor your pupils as they complete the assignment to keep everyone on task. To ensure that all students give the assignment their best effort and full attention, consider grading it.

If you, like me, are old enough to remember exactly how and why Ted Koppel became a media celebrity, then Ben Affleck's propulsive, claustrophobic period thriller "Argo" may induce a severe case of the hot-cold whim-whams. Affleck himself was barely a Boston schoolkid when Iranian radicals stormed the United States embassy in Tehran during the winter of 1979, leading to the now-infamous hostage crisis that lasted more than 400 days and decisively torpedoed Jimmy Carter's presidency. However one feels about the larger geopolitical context for those events – and that story is longer than the most tortuous Russian novel – that was a moment of profound humiliation for America and its perceived place in the world, a moment when it appeared highly plausible we were losing the Cold War.
Affleck's working with a terrific script by Chris Terrio (based on a magazine article by Joshuah Bearman) that captures a surprising amount of the political and cultural nuances of that era, from the atrocious fashions to the cigarette smoke and the pervasive mood of apocalypse. "Argo" offers another entry in the cinematic history of that crazy alternate political reality known as the 1970s, along with Olivier Assayas's tremendous terrorist soap opera "Carlos," Uli Edel's Oscar-nominated "Baader Meinhof Complex" and Paul Schrader's severely underrated "Patty Hearst." In this case, we're dealing with a little-known but mostly true fragment of history designed to make Americans feel better about themselves and the CIA look like good guys, which is a neat trick under the circumstances.
I'm not saying Affleck indulges in any flag-waving here, because in fact the political material in "Argo" is handled with considerable subtlety; don't leave before the final credits, because the film has an unexpected and highly affecting coda provided by a real-life politician of the period. He himself plays a hirsute, low-affect guy named Tony Mendez, a CIA "exfiltration" expert who serves as the movie's improbable hero, in a subdued and unobtrusive performance that suits the movie well. This is an immense improvement, to my taste, over Affleck's hambone stud muffin turn in "The Town," which curdled an otherwise capable crime-romance. "Argo" spins the wild tale of how Mendez crafted a crack-brained cover story about a sub–"Star Wars" science-fiction film to rescue six Americans who had escaped from the embassy and hidden out for months in the Canadian ambassador's house. Furthermore, only a handful of people involved knew about this at the time; when the six Americans got out of Tehran in 1980 the Canadian foreign ministry got credit for the whole thing, and it wasn't until Bill Clinton declassified the records in the late '90s that the story of Mendez and his nonexistent movie came out.
Affleck uses newsreel footage from the period very sparingly, relying on a location shoot in Istanbul and immensely detailed production design to capture the physical and ideological chaos of the Iranian capital just after the fall of the Shah, when devout Shiite students aligned with the Ayatollah Khomeini feuded for power with more moderate forces in the parliamentary government. When the embassy was seized, no one knew what might happen. With alleged counterrevolutionaries being shot in the street or hanged from construction cranes, it seemed entirely plausible that the zealots holding the American embassy might subject the hostages to public trial and execution, with or without the say-so of their superiors. After the Canadians got word out that six Americans had successfully fled the embassy, finding a way to extract them safely became a crucially important face-saving mission.
As Mendez and a crusty superior (played by the ubiquitous Bryan Cranston) explain to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance (Bob Gunton), creating an elaborate cover story that turned the six stowaways into a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a crappy outer-space adventure was the "least bad idea" they could come up with. Other CIA officials had much worse ones, such as sneaking bicycles to the American escapees and encouraging them to two-wheel it to the Turkish border — across 300 mountainous miles, in the middle of winter. Other cover stories that came up — a group of teachers from an English-language school, or do-gooder agricultural activists — foundered on the self-evident fact that all such people had been pulled out of Iran months earlier. The Hollywood ruse had the advantage of being outlandish, and hence believable. As Mendez observes, everyone knows that movie people would shoot in Stalingrad, with Pol Pot directing, if they thought it would sell tickets.
It wouldn't be fair to say too much about how Mendez pulls off his outrageous scam, except to add that Affleck gets marvelous supporting turns from Alan Arkin and John Goodman, as a pair of old-line Hollywood pros tasked with the job of making the knockoff "Star Wars" project — a multiply-rejected script that existed in the real world, and was indeed entitled "Argo" — look to the entire movie world like something that was really or probably happening. Affleck makes a quantum leap as a director here, which may be another way of saying that he has terrific collaborators, including cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and editor William Goldenberg. Tension, humor and drama are built up masterfully, sometimes by artfully cutting back and forth between competing visions of the theater of the absurd: A Hollywood staged reading of "Argo," complete with costumes; the students in the Tehran embassy, reading endless anti-American diatribes; the crazy-making hothouse atmosphere inside the house of the long-suffering Canadian ambassador, Ken Taylor (Victor Garber, an actor who's like an oasis of calm every time you see him).
Getting Tony Mendez into Iran on a fake passport was child's play — he was a CIA agent, after all — compared to what had to happen next. With only a day or two to prepare, he had to take a youngish group of American diplomats, paralyzed by inactivity and terrified for their lives, and turn them into a Canadian B-movie crew, who didn't know or care anything about politics and were only interested in Tehran as an exotic backdrop for action scenes. It certainly wasn't his job to reflect on the multiple ironies of this situation or on the longer-term political significance of his actions. To Ben Affleck's credit, he's made a terrific, pulse-elevating thriller that will leave the audience cheering, and also something more than that. With America's tormented relationship with Iran back on the global front burner, "Argo" is also a crafty, reflective mood piece that will leave you thinking about the resounding echoes of that tormented and not-so-distant era.

'We've Got To Be Different'
February 3, 2005 in Children, Workforce
Cambridgeshire Council can be forgiven for puffing up its chest and
having, well, for want of a better word, a big head. It believes
that it is on the road to enlightenment in terms of its
children's services and is proud of its efforts.
The council is among those few local authorities well on the way to
meeting the government's requirement for there to be
children's trusts established in all areas by 2008. There is
no statutory requirement for councils to do this, but the
government has made it clear that their services will be inspected
on the basis of a degree of joint working and partnership only
possible under a children's trust framework.
Cambridgeshire began work on integrating its children's
services in the summer of 2003. Although it steers clear of calling
the expected outcome of its organisational and cultural change a
"children's trust", the goal of Cambridgeshire
Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership is exactly
what the government anticipates local authorities will achieve. The
group comprises 21 organisations and includes social services,
district councils, primary care trusts and voluntary bodies (see
panel). Its aim is simple: to improve the well-being of children
and young people in Cambridgeshire from pre-birth to 19.
So far four consultation documents have been issued to relevant
stakeholders about the group's plans and consultation
meetings have taken place with children, young people and their
parents and carers. In one consultation document, Ian Stewart,
chair of the partnership, writes that it will take many years for
these changes to be fully implemented and for children, young
people and their families to realise the full benefits. "We
have begun a challenging journey," he says.
Over the next couple of months the partnership's formal
proposals will be presented to the council's decision-making
bodies and its partner agencies. A two-year transition plan is due
to commence in April and by this time senior managers within the
council's children and young people's services are
expected to be in post. By April 2006, Cambridgeshire expects to
have completely integrated its children's services. There is
little doubt that the plans are ambitious – so what do the staff
think about the process and what do they hope to
achieve?
Robinson, director of social services and children's services
Eric Robinson, Cambridgeshire's director of social services
and children's services development, is a man with a plan. In
fact, a sizeable chunk of this plan is scrawled in red marker on
the white board hanging in his office at county hall. His eyes
light up when he explains why Cambridgeshire started integrating
children's services before the government advised councils to
do so. "If you actually believe the rhetoric of building
services around the needs of children and young people then you
have to do something different to deliver that, otherwise it is all
fine words and no action," he says.
Robinson was recruited from Enfield Council in 2003 to run social
services, with a specific duty to lead the integration agenda.
Cambridgeshire was already in the process of integrating its adult
services with health services and this laid the foundations for
adapting those for children. As well as the strategic partnership,
a children's task group was established, which Robinson
heads.
Robinson describes Cambridgeshire's consultation process as
"the most elaborate" he has been involved with during
his 10-year experience of strategic change management. The approach
seems to be paying off, he says, as most practitioners and agencies
back the development. "This is about hearts and minds,"
he says. "These are public servants who came to do something
different for children. What this debate should be about is how
they can do what they came into the job to do."
The biggest challenge the authority faces over the next 18 months
is "keeping the show on the road and managing the change at
the same time". Not surprisingly, Robinson has little doubt
that this can be achieved.
Baxter, director of education, libraries and
Cambridgeshire Council is responsible for 253 schools, including
nine special schools. It is the education professionals working
with children at risk or with special needs who have most welcomed
the plans to integrate children's services, says Andrew
Baxter. This is because they already strive to work effectively
with their health and social services colleagues, he
says.
Baxter says an integrated service with one department, one budget
and one assessment process will mean that time won't be
wasted on bureaucratic arguments. "We can get on with the
professional job of making the best possible provision for the
youngster."
For Baxter the real test of whether or not the integration proves
successful will be if head teachers receive the support they need
to respond efficiently to the needs of the more vulnerable
children. "If we are successful with this then the group of
children who are underachieving at the moment will begin to be able
to achieve more," he says.
Baxter is confident that education professionals will get better at
referral and assessment but he is anxious for safeguards to be put
in place to ensure that education continues to perform well in
areas where it already does so.
Tom Jefford,
head of youth offending
Having doughnuts in team meetings will not persuade staff that
Cambridgeshire's plans are going to work. This is the
conclusion of head of youth offending Tom Jefford.
"It is about slowly establishing trust and moving forward at
a pace that people feel comfortable with, which isn't always
going to be easy." He says professionals will need to suspend
their anxieties and "just go with it".
Jefford has worked for Cambridgeshire since 1993, when he joined as
a juvenile justice worker. In 1998 the council's youth
offending team was created and he saw the amount of effort it took
to build new relationships with other agencies. The current moves
towards integration are a major step forward, he says.
Integrating children's services could have a positive effect
on the work of Jefford's 45-strong team. He says there will
be important gains in the ability to identify children who are at
risk of offending.
While some people are "feeling brave" about the
impending change, Jefford admits that others are
defensive.
But who are the most hesitant, those at the top or those on the
front line? Jefford says that people's job titles have little
to do with it; practitioners and managers are equally nervous about
the changes or in favour of them.
So what is Jefford's worst case scenario? "That we
concentrate on the stuff in the middle rather than the hard edge of
child protection or the very focused activity that specialist
services need to have and are accountable for," he
Fiona Van Den
Hout, senior social worker, children and families
Whether social workers will even have a job after the changes is
one of the key concerns for Fiona Van Den Hout. As a senior social
worker in the children and family support section of Cambridge City
children's team, her fears are understandable. "You
feel like you are standing on the edge of an abyss. People are
thinking 'am I going to have a job, will my role be the
same?'"
While Van Den Hout supports the integration of services for
children and families she admits that she and her colleagues gasped
with surprise when they heard the plans: "It was a huge
concept to imagine."
But she backs the move, saying that it builds upon the good
practice already being done across the county. The biggest benefit
of changing how practitioners operate, according to Van Den Hout,
will be improved lines of communication.
So what does she hope to gain from the experience? She is keen to
build on her relationships with other agencies and to learn more
about their roles and responsibilities. But social workers, she
says, do worry about the impact the change will have on them.
"On a personal level it's 'where am I going to be
based, who am I going to be sitting next to?'" says Van
Den Hout.
Despite these concerns she is confident that those on the front
line will be ready and able to deliver the new form of services:
"Social work is nothing if it's not about managing and
enabling change."

If you follow this blog regularly, you may have noticed my slight obsession with statement necklaces. This last year has made me quite the happy camper, with a vast array of amazing designs available for all budgets – and my latest find is the Topshop Hexagon Collar pictured above. I find it extremely chic, yet somehow edgy (a.k.a. exactly up my alley) and will be putting in an order for it as soon as I finish typing this ASAP. What do you think? Love it or hate it?


You may have seen the short LBD Reel that we put together last year. It's become a very useful tool for giving an overview of what the show was all about to people who didn't see it.
So we went ahead and made something similar for Welcome to Sanditon.
Did you know that over a year later, there are hundreds of active Sanditon RP accounts? Now, some of the RPers have put together a wiki to document who's who in town these days. Check it out, and see what's been going on.
Thanks to everybody who backed the Storium Kickstarter. We're dotting the Tees and crossing the Eyes on that, after which we'll begin putting together the materials that will go into the Storium world. No concrete timelines as of yet, but we're hoping to get it done in time for a September release. If that changes, we'll let you know.


Great usb audio device. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, low latency soundcard that plays nicely with Windows, look no further. IMO, this is as good as you'll find for Windows on a budget. Works great on Mac too!
Great condition, home use only. No box. Will include 3M rca2rca cable, 2x 1/4in to rca plugs and a long usb cable.
R2950 neg. Or trade/px for guitar/bass instruments or gear (1st place for Zoom B3/B1on).


The rise in popularity of dermal fillers over the past few years has been staggering, with lip fillers and cheek fillers proving a huge hit here at Harley St Aesthetics with women of all ages. There is a vast choice out there when it comes to choosing a practitioner, so-much-so it's unlikely you'll have to look too far before finding someone that's offering the procedure that you're interested in.
They may be classed as non-invasive procedures, but dermal fillers still carry risks - with the most important and often reported one to avoid being choosing the wrong practitioner, which all-too-often ends in complications if the wrong choice is made. This is something that should be easily avoidable and it's the reason the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) along with other industry bodies are seeking tighter regulations to be introduced.
With some research into your practitioner you can often separate the rogues from the reputable, but as it's currently an unregulated industry it can sometimes prove a little difficult in some cases. Botched dermal filler jobs performed by these rogue practitioners is prompting plastic surgeons in the UK to ask for better regulation, so that patients are better protected from the outset.
A parliamentary debate took place recently, whereby the dangers posed by non-surgical procedures such as dermal fillers and Botox injections was discussed. MPs are now considering the next step to take after learning about the increase in the number of complaints stemming from non-surgical procedures, which was reported at 934 during 2018, up from 378 during 2016.
MP Alberto Costa is leading the debate after his concerns were raised regarding the lack of regulation within the industry following a meeting with a patient who experienced a botched lip filler procedure.
These non-surgical procedures are readily available on the high street and there is currently no medical or formal training requirement for practitioners to undergo, and though these procedures are very simple in comparison to other plastic surgeries, there are still very serious health risks if they aren't carried out safely and efficiently.
Doctors and MPs are calling for dermal fillers to be considered medicines, and for them to only be legally performed by practitioners who have obtained a medical or prescribing qualification. Hopefully, this would then make it far more difficult for untrained practitioners to get hold of the fillers in the first place.
Calls are also being made for the development of clinical guidelines on the use of dermal fillers and better education on the risks that surround them. Most patients who suffer complications following treatment have not been properly informed of the risks, if at all. A greater push for education for the general public and those who are administering the filler injections should go a long way towards minimising the chances of complications happening.
I'm a board-certified plastic surgeon with a wealth of experience in performing both plastic surgery procedures and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, so if you're keen to learn more then don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm based on Harley Street in the heart of London, and to book your consultation simply call 0845 519 7232, e-mail info@harleystreetaesthetics.com, or fill in the online contact form.

The ECJ recognises homosexuality as grounds for asylum
By Caroline Ausserer
Teaser Image Caption
The ECJ made a clear statement on the recognition of the status of refugees on the grounds of sexual orientation
On November 7, 2013, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) decided that homosexual asylum seekers who are subject to criminal prosecution in their home countries be granted asylum in EU Member States. An important judgment that is, however, a drop in the ocean in the light of the EU's policy of closure with regard to asylum and refugee policy.
This decision was based on the case of three gay men from Sierra Leone, Uganda and Senegal whose application for asylum was turned down in the Netherlands. The Supreme Court of the Netherlands had asked the ECJ for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of EU law. According to the European Qualification Directive[1] that refers to the Geneva Convention on Refugees, an individual with a well-founded fear of persecution on the grounds of race, religion, citizenship, political opinion or membership of a particular social group may apply for asylum, i.e., protection from persecution. Since "sexual orientation" is not explicitly mentioned as a reason for persecution, the Court initially had to decide whether homosexuals are to be considered a particular social group for the purposes of the directive.
Member of a social group
According to the directive, two conditions need to be fulfilled. First, the social group requires shared characteristics that cannot be changed. Second, a distinct identity, since the rest of the population considers them to be different. The European Court of Justice suggested that both apply in the case of homosexuals. The mere fact that there are criminal law provisions that specifically relate to homosexuals suggest that they constitute a social group. After having been clarified by the highest European court, this applies to all future jurisdictions within the EU.
Sexual orientation as a characteristic of identity
The ECJ further argues that an individual's sexual orientation constitutes such an important characteristic of the person's identity that he or she should not be forced to refrain from it. This is an important decision. The ECJ refutes a frequent pattern of argumentation in German jurisdiction and the decision-making practice of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) on the grounds of which homosexual individuals' asylum applications were rejected. The asylum seeker is asked to remain closeted in his or her home country in order to avoid potential risks. It is a major success of this judgment that this cynical argument that implies a reversal of perpetrator and victim may no longer be used in any European court.
Serious violation of fundamental rights
Moreover, the Netherlands Council of State asked the ECJ to clarify issues related to identifying prosecution. Does the criminalisation of homosexual acts in the home country suffice for the recognition of refugee status? The Court of Justice responded in a differentiated way: Prosecution in terms of the Geneva Convention covers serious violations of basic rights, i.e., simple legislation that penalises homosexual acts are not deemed sufficient. In contrast, a prison sentence for homosexual acts may be considered an act of persecution. Nevertheless, what exactly is meant by "serious"? It is obvious that it covers prison and death sentences. However, what else? There is a wide scope of interpretations that render possible the dismissal of homosexual individuals' asylum applications.
Actual persecution
In addition, EU Member States are only required to grant protection from persecution, if these penalties are actually imposed in the countries of origin. Therefore, the Court advises national authorities to check the application of legal provisions in the corresponding countries. This could be a potential stumbling block. What happens to lesbians and gay men who do not risk imprisonment or death penalties in their respective home countries, but who are exerted to discrimination, harassment, if not violent assaults every day and who want to leave their respective country for that reason? They are unable to live a free life in conditions of equality. However, they will probably not qualify for asylum in the EU. Hence, the judgment excludes some individuals seeking protection. It is to be hoped that courts recognise this type of violation of basic rights as a ground of persecution and, as a result, enable lesbian and gay asylum seekers to be received as refugees by EU Member States.
Clear language
Nevertheless, this judgment needs overall to be considered ground-breaking for the right to asylum in Europe. The Court made a clear statement on the recognition of the status of refugees on the grounds of sexual orientation. It contradicts the established practice to reject lesbians and gay men seeking asylum based on the argument that they should live out their homosexuality more cautiously in their respective home countries. The judgment has a direct effect within the entire EU, and all authorities and courts need to observe it. When taking into consideration the entire European asylum and refugee policy, this is, however, only a drop in the ocean. As long as the EU continues to consider migrants and refugees a "safety problem" that can be combatted by e.g. Frontex, the agency for the protection of the external borders; as long as there is no comprehensive European asylum and refugee policy which leads away from sealing off to a humanitarian, human rights centred approach, people will continue to die at the external borders of the EU. The Federal Government, too, is able to, and ought to take part in deciding on the direction of EU asylum policy. This would be an important and necessary sign after the tragedy of Lampedusa.

EU and its member states should take a lead in protecting trans rights
Ordinary things like picking up a parcel, opening a bank account or simply using a personalized public transport ticket can become a daily source of difficulty if your gender identity does not match the legal gender.
Dossier: Europe – a Gender Equality Project?
Over the past few decades, the EU has made progress in terms of gender equality, but many challenges remain. The next European elections will show whether the "Gender equality project Europe" can be continued and improved or whether the majority of the conservative or right-wing populist to radical right-wing forces, who oppose emancipative gender equality policy, gain the upper hand.
