Индо-скифское царство (иначе Индо-Скифское царство) — аморфное в плане границ государство, созданное в эпоху эллинизма на территории Бактрии, Согдианы, Арахосии, Гандхары, Кашмира, Пенджаба, Раджастхана и Гуджарата восточной ветвью кочевого племени скифов — саками.

История

Вторжение саков
Переселение саков было частью перемещения кочевых народов, запущенного вытеснением юэчжей (асиев) племенем сюнну (хунну) около 175 г. до н. э. Саки, вынужденные покинуть бассейн реки Или, двинулись на Фергану и Согдиану. Около 145 г. до н. э. они вторглись в Греко-бактрийское царство и сожгли Александрию Оксианскую. В 125 г. до н. э. греко-бактрийский царь Гелиокл под давлением саков и юэчжей покинул Бактрию и переместил свою столицу в долину Кабула, откуда он управлял своими индийскими владениями.

В то время как юэчжи задержались в Бактрии ещё на сотню лет, скифы двинулись дальше в сторону Индии. При продвижении на юг саки в середине II в. до н. э. заселили южные области современного Афганистана — так называемый Сакастан.

Вместе с саками во вторжении в Индию принимали участие камбоджи, парады, пахлавы, ришки и другие племена с северо-запада, которые часто рассматриваются как сакские кланы. Часть их интегрировалась в состав индийской варны кшатриев.

Первые индо-скифские царства
Первые скифские царства на территории собственно Индии были установлены на территории между Абирией (Синд) и Саураштрой (Гуджарат) после 110 года до н. э. Около 80 года до н. э. индо-скифский царь Мауэс (Май) двинулся на восток и овладел Гандхарой и Таксилой. Вероятно, Мая следует отождествить с царём Могой из надписи сатрапа Патики, датируемой 78 годом неизвестной эры.

Однако после смерти Мая установленное им царство не смогло удержаться, и индо-греки восстановили свою династию в Индо-греческом царстве (которая опять стала успешно развиваться, что видно по обильному выпуску монет царей  и .

Пик экспансии
Примерно через 20 лет индо-скифы взяли крупнейший город тогдашней Индии — Матхуру, и  уже окончательно установил скифское владычество на северо-западе в 55 году до н. э. С Азесом связывают Бимаранскую шкатулку, обнаруженную с его монетами в буддийской ступе близ Джелалабада в Афганистане. Среди других буддистских артефактов индо-скифов — «львиная» песчаниковая капитель колонны из Матхуры с надписью кхароштхи о даровании ступы с реликвией Будды супругой индо-скифского царя Раджувулы.

На востоке индо-скифские набеги доходили до Паталипутры, о чём говорится в тексте Юга-Пураны. Из Удджайна индо-скифы были изгнаны в 57 году до н. э. известным малвским царём Викрамадитьей. С этого события вёлся отсчёт эры Викрама. Индо-скифы (саки) вернули себе Удджайн в 78 году н. э.

В иностранных источниках
В последний период индо-греческие цари нашли поддержку Китайской империи. Хроника поздней династии Хань описывает альянс между китайским генералом Вэнь Чуном, управляющим пограничную область в западном Ганьсу по поводу Ки-пинь (Кабульская долина) с Инь Мофу (), «сыном короля Юн-Кюй» (йонака, грек) около 50 года до н. э. Объединённые войска атаковали Ки-пинь, который был под контролем индо-скифов, и Инь Мофу. Гермей был провозглашён царём Ки-пинь как вассал Ханьской империи, получив китайские атрибуты власти и печать. Позднее китайцы потеряли интерес к таким удалённым землям, и альянс распался.

В итоге, ок. 10 года н. э. под напором индо-скифов пали остатки Индо-греческого царства, которым правил . Победивший Стратона индо-скифский правитель  установил в Матхуре правление
: его преемники правили тут преимущественно в качестве вассалов кушанов (двое кшатрапов упоминаются в надписи Канишки I).

О скифах (саках) в Индии упоминают такие античные источники, как древнеримская «Пейтингерова таблица» и древнегреческий «Перипл Эритрейского моря», называющий Барбарикон и Миннагару (современный Карачи) портами скифов. При этом «Перипл» различает «Скифию» и «Ариаку» на востоке, которой управлял Нахапана (названный Намбаном), один из западных кшатрапов.

На протяжении четырёх столетий индо-скифские правители соседствовали с индо-греческими и индо-парфянскими государственными образованиями. Они оставили по себе памятники ювелирного искусства в традиционном для скифов зверином стиле. В I в. н. э. их стали вытеснять на юг двигавшиеся с севера кушаны — ветвь племени юэчжей. На землях, прежде принадлежавшим индо-скифам, они создали могущественное Кушанское царство.

Западные Кшатрапы
Последний этап скифского присутствия в Индии представляет династия Западных Кшатрапов, царствовавшая на западе Деккана с 110 по 395 гг. Их столицей служил священный для индусов город Удджайн. Цари правившей династии происходили от шакских (сакских) сатрапов, носивших титул кшатра, который на северо-западе Индии давали местным правителям — наместникам царя. Родоначальник династии  первоначально был наместником кушанов. В 30-е годы II века он стал править самостоятельно и принял титул махакшатрапа.

Его внук  был весьма могущественным правителем. Он вел войны с царём Восточного Декана, Кушанским государством и яудхеями, государство которых располагалось в бассейне Сатледжа. К концу царствования Рудрадамана I власть Кшатрапов распространялась на Малву, Гуджарат, южную часть Раджастхана и некоторые районы Восточного Декана (ранее принадлежавшие Сатаваханам).

В первой половине IV века н. э. местные цари даже отказались от титула махакшатрапов, что, по-видимому, означало признание Кшатрапами главенства иранских Сасанидов; в 348 году новый царь Кшатрапов Рудрасена III опять принял титул махакшатрапа. Но возрождение могущества Кшатрапов было недолгим. На исходе IV века конец власти Западных Кшатрапов в Деккане положил своими завоевательными походами Чандрагупта II из династии Гуптов, убивший последнего сакского правителя Рудрасимху III.

The queA RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.
queA motif RNAs have not yet (as of 2018) been found in any classified organism; they are known from metagenomic sequences.

All known queA RNAs are located upstream of queA genes, which encodes an enzyme to alter the chemical structure of a specific nucleotide within tRNAs.  It is possible that queA RNAs function as cis-regulatory elements.   are known that bind pre-queuosine1 and regulate genes that are related to queA.  However, as the que RNA motif is not highly conserved and the queA gene itself is never known to be regulated by a preQ1 riboswitch, it is not likely that queA RNAs correspond to riboswitches.

Not The Onion…Church of England Demands Blunt Kitchen Knives
Resurrecting an inane proposal from some daft British academics made in 2005, the Church of England has demanded a ban on the sale of pointed kitchen knives, saying there is no reason for them in the modern world. As reported widely, in a letter to ministers backed by equally irrational doctors, psychiatrists, police, victims and a judge, Church of England bishops say redesigning domestic kitchen knives to give them rounded ends would combat so-called "knife crime" by making "life-threatening injuries far less likely."
A day later UK cutlery manufacturer Rayware proudly announced that it has developed knives with rounded ends which "makes it impossible for an attacker to stab someone." Meanwhile, the Thames Valley Police in the U.K. has advised they will no longer post photos of seized knives on social media "to help reduce the fear of knives and knife carrying in our local communities."
If only this was The Onion, but it seems the Brits cannot help themselves. It's Monty Python writ large. The proposal has been widely ridiculed, with good reason.
Obviously, even were they to actually ban sales of pointed kitchen knives, there would remain millions of exactly the same pointed knives in every kitchen in the country. I suppose the next step would be to require that points be ground off every knife in England, but let's face it, even if the pointed knife police showed up at every home, that would be as pointless as the proposal to ban sales of pointed kitchen knives.
Meme courtesy of Knife Magazine
Anyone wanting to have a pointed knife for criminal purposes could quickly and easily put a point on any blunt knife. They cannot even keep shanks from being made in prison. But, perhaps with only blunt knives available for sale, there would be a run on cleavers. Because, wouldn't you rather be attacked with a heavy cleaver?
The reality is that you cannot solve a people problem, the scourge of so-called "knife crime" in Britain, by banning inanimate objects. There are knife surrender bins all over the UK, with mindless slogans such as "Get A Life – Bin That Knife" which hasn't slowed down the violence one iota. No surprise, that.
If the UK really wants to stop the rising tide of violence committed with knives by juveniles, young adults and gangs, it needs to address the root cause of the problem. Not holding our breath for that to happen, too easy to blame the tool. Seemingly a common tactic proposed on this side of the pond as well, unfortunately.
Knife Rights was formed in large part to ensure we didn't end up with the draconian knife laws found in England and elsewhere, laws that accomplish nothing to stem criminal activity. 31 bills enacted in 22 states since 2010 repealing knife bans suggest we are on the right track. And, we do it with a broad spectrum of support from both sides of the aisle.
Help us avoid the sad situation in Britain. Support Knife Rights and our constitutional rights and freedoms with a donation to forge a Sharper Future for all Americans™.

My professional journey is quite unorthodox and it roots can be traced back to my non-traditional upbringing. I was raised without any formal religious foundation. Instead, my parents were interested in philosophy, literature, music, consciousness and inner development. When I was fifteen, my father, who was in the midst of some deep soul searching, gave me three books: The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment by Thaddeus Goleus, Be Here Now by Ram Dass and Handbook to Higher Consciousness by Ken Keyes, Jr. Five years later, disillusioned with college, living like a hippie and working on a farm in Boulder, Colorado, he suggested that I apply to the work-scholar program at Esalen Institute. The following year, I was at Esalen when I learned that he'd died suddenly in a car accident. His death, in the Hero's Journey template, was the instigating event in my life that sent me on a spiritual quest for answers.
That quest led me to India, Europe, South America, Canada as well as all corners of the US. Over the years, I've been blessed with the opportunity to meet and even study with some of the world's greatest innovators, mystics and teachers including Stan and Christina Grof, Jack Kornfield, Joseph Campbell, Angeles Arrien, Jean Huston, Virginia Satir, John Lilly, Gregory Bateson, Michael Harner, Chungliang Al Huang, Alex Gray, Werner Erhard, Don Miguel Ruiz and many more who have chosen to remain out of the limelight.
My time at Esalen Institute helped create the foundation of all the work I do (see video below). I began working with clients in 1986 as a massage therapist. Then in 1989, I started my first group. Group facilitation became a great passion of mine, which led to the founding of numerous other groups. This quickly evolved into teaching classes, running workshops and different types of coaching. It's been a natural, organic unfoldment, leading to a style of working that is grounded and embodied, drawing on a myriad of life experiences including over four decades of training in meditation, visualization, intuitive inner work and journeying, emotional and physical healing, mystical awareness and connecting with Source.
In addition, writing has been a constant in my life. Words have always dazzled me with their ability to make sense out of the chaos and uplift the ordinary into the realm of the extraordinary. Early on, I fell madly in love with story writing and could never get enough of the endless playground of the imagination. This fascination only grew as I explored poetry, personal essays, memoir and novel writing. My latest passion is screenwriting and playwriting, mostly due to the intense pleasure that comes from the possibility of having my work move from the page to the theater and screen.
Finally, I have the privilege of being mom to two awesome sons, Julian and Miles. They brought the light of the universe with them and lit up my life with their music, their open hearts and deep intuitive wisdom. Walking the path with them has been an incredible blessing. I'm always curious what they're up to next since they're forever finding their way into new projects and adventures.

Horse-drawn carriages come to town for the Forest Row Village Market this Christmas
Back to CPJ News
For the fourth year in a row, local funeral home Ballard & Shortall put on horse-drawn carriage rides at the Forest Row Village Market, on Saturday 1 December. The horses even drove Father Christmas to the village primary school.
Visitors enjoyed a host of festive activities, including a Christmas market set up by the Parish Council, a lifesize model of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, children's rides, local produce stalls and carol singers amongst the mulled wine and mince pies.
Ballard & Shortall is part of the tenth-generation family run funeral directors, CPJ Field. As well as supplying the rides, mince pies and mulled wine at the Market, the company also raised over £100 for chosen charity The Venue on the Green – a youth and community building project.

The money raised from this year's Christmas event will go towards the community project's main building, for an improved youth club space set to host a café and computers.
Ballard & Shortall is also running its own seasonal fundraiser, through a window display featuring a handmade Christmas tree constructed from pallets and nativity scene in aid of local learning disabilities charity Pericles.
Pippa Yates from Ballard & Shortall, Forest Row, comments: "We've been supporting the Market for four years now and our horse-drawn carriage rides have become a tradition. It's great to see local people enjoy the rides, and even better to help fund health and wellbeing facilities for the whole community."

I've been thinking about running MoN recently. I have the single-volume paperback edition issued in the 90s. I'm just wondering if, with the various re-released, there are any significant changes that would necessitate me getting a new edition. Basically, has it changed in any important way?
That depends entirely on what you deem important. The major changes are the update to 7th, the option to run as Classic or Pulp, re-balancing of many encounters/situations and the addition of a prologue. The newest version has greatly fleshed out GM tips and an extensive beginning chapter on campaign organization and travel. In addition, there is a ton of high quality art, a GM screen, and full color handouts for each Chapter. That said, the narrative core of the campaign hasn't really changed. The new version is, by far, the defintive version, and improves on the campaign in many ways. So, your call as to whether that is enough to justify the upgrade.
I think it's about double in size. A lot of the information about locations have been corrected/improved. It's been updated to 7th edition, of course, with small notes on running it with Pulp. There are more information for the keeper, there are clue diagrams for instance. They also added a scenario zero, which happens a few years before the New-York start and which gives a tie in for the characters with Jackson Elias.
There are a couple of videos where the differences are explained.
I've just finished reading it through in preparation to start running in a couple of weeks - I've read previous versions as well - and the guys above have pretty much nailed the differences. The only additional thing I'd throw in is that the writers have cleaned up some of the uglier parts of the campaign in terms of societal attitudes and they've done it in a very light-handed way so as not to eradicate historical context completely if it's something your group is comfortable exploring.
I was wondering about that. Thanks! I decided to take the plunge and get the new edition.
Good call. In my humble opinion, the revision and expansion to the New York chapter makes the new edition worthwhile all by itself.
I am currently reviewing it chapter by chapter for my Patrons.
Firstly, the production values are just glorious. The handouts are amazing (though not as amazing as the HPLHS set - those are out of this world), and the books have great art throughout.
The intro chapter really sets the scene, doing a great job of encapsulating the entire campaign and the prologue in Peru does a good job of introducing Jackson Elias in a manner that makes him a person rather than a bit of a gaming meme. He never becomes the focal point, and gives good reasons as to why the investigators eventually consider him a good friend. As per every edition since the Complete version, the Australian chapter is part of the canon storyline and is included.
It's also worth mentioning that Pulp Cthulhu gets proper treatment here - not just two pages at the end - it is throughout the book whenever appropriate.
My hope going forward is that nothing more is added to it. I could envisage it becoming a bit of a bloated woman of a campaign if they extended it further.
I think it would be great if Chaosium basically said "right - that's it. Masks will not be changed any more than this. This is 100% the definitive edition" as a kind of tribute to the late Larry DiTillio.
Having spent 2 years, on and off, working on the latest edition, Chaosium has no plan to rework or add to the campaign. We believe we have published the definitive edition. Thanks.
Having just finished reading it after it arrived, I'm pretty happy with the revisions, most of which seem pretty smart choices to me. Addressing some of the racial and gender issues was a good move. And it's nice to see some of the obvious blank spots fleshed out (like where the rocket parts are coming from). My only let-down is that some of the art feels a bit of a step down. In particular, the picture of Jackson Elias isn't very good. For some reason, I find that really jarring.
We believe we have published the definitive edition.
I consider this the definitive edition. There is only so much work you can put into tweaking anything before it becomes splitting hairs. Pleasing every gamer is an impossible goal and unrealistic. Let's just celebrate that we got a fantastic product that will pass the test of time.
We believe we have published the definitive and final edition of Masks. With over 40 products in the CoC pipeline, including some major campaigns, Masks is not on our list of future editions/projects. Other than fixing a few unavoidable typos or similar, that's it for Masks. We plan on keeping it in print as long as sales justify doing so.
40?! Care to throw us some tasty morsels as to what we can look forward to?
Personally, I am hoping for a slipcase sets of Beyond the Mountains of Madness, Spawn of Azathoth and Shadows of Yog-Sothoth - reworked and expanded for 7E with pulp rules.
Slight hijacking here but I really hope Pulp and 7E remain as alternative systems that people can choose to run their games and don't get rolled into one super rule set.
Pulp Cthulhu and 7E will remain distinct from each other, as they currently are.
The new Masks is leaps and bounds above the older ones, production value wise, for sure. I love the slipcase. I t looks wonderful on the shelf and plays even better!


This week I had the chance to visit Eric's family, and I saw his grandmother again for the first time in almost 9 years. She is 90 years old, and has always been a glamour girl! We talked about her prime years in the 40's & 50's, and you might guess how much we connect and relate to each other (as I was born in the wrong decade of course :) Upon immediate glimpse, I noticed that she was decked out in vivid navy blue and white. She was wearing a gorgeous blue sweater with full makeup and matching necklace set! I love shades of blue, possibly above any other color, yet I recently was realizing that I don't have enough staples in my favorite color. Navy blue is such a beautiful, classic color.
Pink Topi is a brand that offers and celebrates timeless style, with elegant handmade leather bags. When selecting my shade of the Casablanca bag, I knew that I had to go with navy blue. I love this bag so much, and it is especially perfect for my on-the-go big city lifestyle. I almost never spend a day around NYC without some sort of bigger bag for carrying everything from flats to water bottles, so Pink Topi allows for doing this with classic elegance! Of course, it is also perfect for traveling - I will never not have a stunning carry on bag from now on. For today's post, I styled with all blue - polka dot gloves & luxurious vintage wool pleated skirt. Casablanca is also available in cognac and black!

About the Romanian Language
Romanian is a Romance language spoken by around 24 to 28 million people, primarily in Romania and Moldova. It has official status in Romania, Moldova and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in Serbia. While the language is used in the Republic of Moldova, there it is officially called Moldovan language for political reasons. Romanian speakers are scattered across many other countries, notably Italy, Spain, Israel, Portugal, United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, France and Germany.
The Dacians, an Indo-European people, were the ancient inhabitants of Romanian territory. They were defeated by the Romans in 106, and part of Dacia (Oltenia, Banat and Transylvania) became a Roman province. This province, which was rich in ores, especially silver and gold, was colonized by the Romans, who brought with them Vulgar Latin as the language of administration and commerce, and who started a period of intense romanization, which gave birth to proto-Romanian language. But in the 3rd century AD, under the pressure of Free Dacians and from invasions of migratory populations such as Goths, the Roman Empire was forced to withdraw from Dacia, in 271 AD, leaving it to the Goths. It is matter of debate whether modern-day Romanians are descendants of the people that abandoned the area and settled south of the Danube or of the people that remained in Dacia. (See also Origin of the Romanians.) Owing to its people's geographical isolation, Romanian was probably among the first of the Romance languages to split from Latin. It received little influence from other Romance languages until the modern period (until the middle of the 18th century), and is therefore one of the most uniform languages in Europe. It is the most important of the remaining Eastern Romance languages and is more conservative than other Romance languages in nominal morphology. Romanian has preserved declension, but whereas Latin had six cases, Romanian has five: the nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive, and dative, and still holds the neuter gender. However, the verb morphology of Romanian has shown the same move towards a compound perfect and future tense as the other Romance languages. All the dialects of Romanian are believed to have been unified in a Proto-Romanian language up to sometime between the 7th and 10th centuries, when the area came under the influence of the Byzantine Empire. It was then that Romanian became influenced by the Slavic languages and to some degree the Greek. For example, Aromanian, one of the closest relatives of Romanian, has very few Slavic words. Also, the variations in the Daco-Romanian dialect (spoken throughout Romania and Moldova) are very small. The use of this uniform Daco-Romanian dialect extends well beyond the borders of the Romanian state: a Romanian-speaker from Moldova speaks the same language as a Romanian-speaker from the Serbian Banat. Romanian was influenced by Slavic (due to migration/assimilation, and feudal/ecclesiastical relations), Greek (Byzantine, then Phanariote), Turkish, and Hungarian, while the other Romance languages adopted words and features of Germanic.
Romanian is spoken mostly in Southeastern Europe, although speakers of the language can be found all over the world, mostly due to emigration of Romanian nationals and the return of immigrants from Romania to their original countries. Romanian speakers account for 0,5% of the world's population, and 4% of the Romance-speaking population of the world. Romanian is the single official and national language in Romania and Moldova, although it shares the official status at regional level with other languages in the Moldovan autonomies of Gagauzia and Transnistria. Romanian is also an official language of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in Serbia along with five other languages. Romanian minorities are encountered in Serbia (Timok Valley), Ukraine (Chernivtsi and Odessa oblasts), Hungary (Gyula) and Bulgaria (Vidin). Large immigrant communities are found in Italy, Spain, France, and Portugal. The largest Romanian-speaking community in Asia is found in Israel, where as of 1995 Romanian is spoken by 5% of the population. Romanian is also spoken as a second language by people from Arabic-speaking countries who have studied in Romania. It is estimated that almost half a million Middle Eastern Arabs studied in Romania during the 1980s. Small Romanian-speaking communities are to be found in Kazakhstan and Russia. Romanian is also spoken within communities of Romanian and Moldovan immigrants in the United States, Canada and Australia, although they don't make up a large homogeneous community state-wide.

While researching my archive for media files to include on the Retro-Milwaukee page I came across a couple interesting recordings. The old 7 inch reel to reel tape included two arguments on CB that took place in the 1968-69 time frame. Reviewing the first clip, I didn't recognize anyone on the recording, after listening a couple times the memories came back and I am able to add a little detail. The first tape is very mild by today's standards with just some name calling, these are High School age individuals who all know each other. I have no idea as to where they are now or what these folks do today. I think Bill had an Allied A-2567, Tim had a Knight Safari 1. The second 8 minute clip is very raw and some folks may find the language offensive. Apparently 'Frenchy' has been having a party and some drinking taking place....well, the word spread throughout the band and before you knew it the channel was full of hecklers. Lots and lots of wonderful unstable tube type heterodynes throughout. This is unedited historic CB, good or bad you hear it as it happened over 30 years ago! Have fun listening to the tube type equipment on these vintage recordings.
Tim: Says "It's just the pressures of being a CB'er" (funny stuff then) Also does Larry's lab work. Moncees was the Electronics instructor at the Milwaukee Hamilton High School.
Ralph: Babbles incoherently a couple times on the tape.
Howie: Past midway through, an older voice asks for a break, Howie was a great guy.
Goliath : Offers philosophical advice about pounding on someone.
Retro-Dave: Sorry, I am not on this tape, I will keep looking though.
Crash: Maybe innocent victim, maybe not?
Cosgrove: Very weak voice making comment about the 10-15, a great guy.
Various Hecklers: The word spread quickly and they just appear.


April 24, 1966 -- The Chicago Tribune reports that as the old Federal building, bounded by Dearborn, Clark, Adams and Jackson, is demolished, the building across Jackson Boulevard, the Monadnock, is coming into clearer view. And the Monadnock, constructed between 1891 and 1893, is getting a major interior renovation. Fluorescent lights, carpets, and new office doors are being installed and the interior is being painted with white walls and dark gray ceilings. When it opened the building was the largest office building in the world and its design a pure statement of farewell to one building technique and a welcome to the next. As Professor Thomas Leslie of Iowa State University wrote, "Far from being the world's last and largest 'masonry skyscraper,' the Monadnock was a profoundly transitional structural achievement, making important advances in steel construction while still relying on the well-proven strength and reliability of masonry." However you approach the Monadnock, it is one heck of a building.


Is teacher pay really the problem with recruitment and retention?
It's fair to say the capped public sector pay rise recently announced by chancellor George Osborne was not positively received by teaching unions. Standard pay rises will be set at 1% from 2016 to 2020 (and from my reading of the School Teachers' Review Body's 24th and 25th reports, the intention is that these uplifts will be applied based on performance). The main union objection seems to be that lower pay will hinder recruitment, in what already looks to be a challenging few years for teacher supply.
The 1% pay rise is only one part of teacher pay though – there's also performance-related pay. This is supposed to be a vehicle to pay the best teachers more at a faster rate, but there hasn't been extra funding for schools to do this. Additionally, pupil outcomes, the most obvious metric for performance-related pay, are hard to link definitively to teacher effectiveness. And lesson observation judgements, another commonly used metric, have been shown to be unreliable.
On the other hand, who hasn't heard the line that teachers aren't in it for the money? And in fact, overall, pay doesn't actually motivate people as much as we think it does.
So if it's not the money, why do teachers leave the profession, and how can we get more people into teaching?
The obvious answer to me is to tackle workload and accountability pressures. My colleague Kate has already covered accountability pressures in another post for Key insights, but it's worth pointing out that the two are linked. Accountability pressures lead to extra paperwork to show the teacher gave oral feedback, or gave detailed written feedback, followed by a written reply from the pupil, to which the teacher has to reply in turn (which makes me think of the woman who swallowed the fly, then swallowed a spider to eat the fly, and so on).
In an earlier blog post, I quoted a teacher saying that you can't physically do all the work in the time available. So maybe the solution is to give teachers more time to do this work – reduce teaching loads and give them more planning, preparation and assessment (PPA) time. As an ardent believer in state education, I'm loath to suggest that the independent sector has all the answers, but its tendency to give teachers more planning time and fewer classes is something it gets right. It seems like a winning idea, but you need more teachers to do this, and that means more money for schools.
At the same time though, how much money do schools spend on recruitment, advertising and, increasingly, agency fees to hire teachers from overseas? If you can keep teachers in your school and spend less money on recruitment, the investment in more teachers may balance out down the line.
Professional development can be used to improve the motivation and confidence of teachers and keep them in the profession. Given that most teachers officially only get five days a year set aside for this purpose, that doesn't seem like enough for meaningful professional development. Again, though, the issue is time and money.
Going back to the public sector pay rise, I wonder how schools will pay for it without an increase in funding (although apparently there's plenty of money for increasing the number of cadet forces in schools). 1% might not sound like a lot at first, but a quick calculation shows that over the next five years this would come to over £1,000 for a teacher outside London on the minimum of the main pay range. Do that for all your staff, with far larger sums for the highest paid, and it quickly becomes a lot of money to take out of a school's budget.
It's not that I don't think teachers are worth this money. I just think we need to make sure we invest in them properly, which means also tackling workload concerns and professional development.

ReBoot - How much have you watched?


On January 30th Ken Taylor, our Senior Software Architect, gave a crash course into Machine Learning. All the information needed to participate were a functional knowledge of API (application program interface) and an attitude to learn and we'd like to share his key points of discussion.
How Can One Get Started with Machine Learning?
There are three ways to begin your machine learning journey; using a Cloud-based or Mobile API, using an existing model architecture and developing your own machine learning models for new problems. These listed methods are in order of complexity, so consider your existing knowledge base regarding machine learning and the effort you're willing to put forth to try it on your own!
Cloud Vision can be used for faces, labels, OCR (optical character recognition), logos, safe search as well as landmarks and image properties.
Cloud Natural Language can be used for various language tools, such as syntax analysis, entity recognition and sentiment analysis.
Cloud Speech can be used for automatic speech recognition, global vocabulary, streaming recognition, inappropriate content filtering, real-time or buffered audio support, noisy audio handling and integrated API.
Cloud Translate can be used for visual text recognition for street signs and more; an example would be "translating" a stop sign in a foreign country to a language more familiar to you.
Face API detects faces, facial landmarks, eyes open, and smiling. This can also be used in real-time to detect face bounding boxes and emotions.
Barcode API detects 1D and 2D barcodes, for example UPC and QR codes.
Text API detects Latin-based text and their structures. The text becomes segmented into blocks, lines and words.
TensorFlow is the most popular open source machine learning library and is especially useful for deep learning as well as research and production. Researchers use TensorFlow to devise new algorithms while developers use it to build new machine learning powered applications and services. Some exercises one can utilize from TensorFlow are MNIST for Beginners, MNIST for Experts, as well as other methods for each level of machine learners that can be found on their website.
Deep Learning can be used to help understand languages, recognizing images with inception, play games such as chess and much more.

We are launching 2 projects this week to make it even easier to make a sick child smile! We ran them a couple of years ago and found them a big success with both volunteers and Pals enjoying it!
Project 1) Print 1 sheet a week. Do you have time to print 1 sheet of paper a week? If so then this is for you! You will be assigned a child and once a week a word document containing a card and message will be emailed to you. All you have to do is simply hit print, fold the card, sign your name and pop it in the post to your assigned child. It's really as simple as that and it would guarantee every Pal and sibling a piece of post a week. To take part please email Lorna with your name, email address, how many children you would like to write to and if you would prefer a young or older child.
Project 2) Could you commit to sending 1 piece of post every 2 weeks? We are looking for volunteers so every Pal and sibling will have someone assigned to them. We have found both poster and child really benefit from hearing from someone regularly, especially the siblings, who often don't get as much attention as the ill child. This is a longer term commitment, although not strict, so if you miss a week it doesn't matter. To take part email Emma with your name, email address and how many children you would like to be assigned to.
Please forward this onto friends and post on message boards/blogs etc as we have a lot of children these days!
NB: If you have taken part in these schemes in the past, we are starting them from afresh, so you will be re-assigned to someone.
We have a received a lovely message from Samantha H saying" Thank you to everybody in the whole wide world for all their cards and presents!" and it really made us smile!
I joined Post Pals in 2006. It's a website for poorly children and the aim is to 'post a smile on a sick child's face'. Each 'Pal' has their own page with their details, things they like, updates and forwarding address. Anyone can write to them or sent them a gift to cheer them up when they're ill. Post Pals was set up in 2004 by five teenagers who all have health problems, with two of them being bedbound. They're all volunteers and spend a lot of time sending post to the 'Pals'. I've received letters, cards and presents from all over the world. I got a lot of post when I relapsed. I made a comment on my website that i wanted to get a pink wig, and someone sent me seven in different styles and shades of pink – one for each day of the week – and a pink cowboy hat. It really did make me smile. I was also sent 'Chemo duck', who is the coolest duck ever. He has little pyjamas on, and when you open his top he has a plaster on under it. When you take that off, he has a little plastic Hickman line in his chest. He also has a bandanna because he has lost all his feathers, bless him. Another one of my favourite things is that someone adopted a monkey for me in North Carolina. That's something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember, as monkeys are my favourite animal. Post Pals is a fantastic site, and does a great job. If you have a spare five minutes, write to a child and help make them smile!
It's true what they say, sometimes it's the little things in life that are important. For Nicole this meant a pink wig, and for Chloe K this currently means earrings. She desperately wants to have her ears pierced but the doctor's won't allow it and her Mum was unable to find any clip on ones for her. Cue Post Pal volunteers to spring into action, hunting around the Internet and shops then sending magnetic ones. Chloe can now wear earrings just like her friends.
Hello, I'm just posting a short update to let people know who live near the stores 'The Works' that 82 of them are closing down. They sold things like kids craft kits and little gifts cheaply anyway, but are now having closing down sales including 'fill a large bag with greeting cards for a £1' so if you live near one it might be worth checking it out!
Thank you to all of you who sent Post during February, it was nice to see the mail stats page looking busy. Sadly 3 children have relapsed (cancer) this year alone and plenty more are in need of some TLC so please keep the smiles coming. Here is a picture of Kirsty with what arrived in the post one day.

Shiladitya Banerjee Receives NIH MIRA Award to Study the Biophysics of Cellular Adaptation
Assistant Professor of Physics Shiladitya Banerjee has received a Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA) from the National Institutes of Health to support his research on biophysical models and mechanisms of cellular adaptation to environmental stress. The award will fund the Banerjee research group over five years with ~ $1.6 million.
"We want to uncover the mechanisms by which living organisms and cells respond to dynamic changes and stresses in their environment," Banerjee said of his work, which focuses on building theoretical and computational models of living systems.
"The traditional understanding is that cells can adapt to stress by changing their internal biochemistry," Banerjee said. "Our hypothesis is that cells can also do that by changing their shapes and biomechanical properties."
In research published this year in the journal Nature Physics, Banerjee studied how bacterial growth and morphologies evolve over multiple generations in response to different doses of antibiotics. With theoretical modeling and single-cell experiments, he and his collaborators concluded that changes in bacterial cell size, shape and mechanical properties enabled bacteria to grow more resilient to antibiotics.
In this project, Banerjee plans to extend this line of inquiry to other model organisms to observe and model how they adapt to changing nutrient, temperature or antibiotic conditions. Along with bacteria, Banerjee will seek to study the embryos of worms and other living things to better understand how they can survive stressful conditions in a state of dormancy.

With Data from New Space Telescope, Matthew Walker Will Seek to Understand Dark Matter
The much-anticipated launch of the James Webb Space Telescope this fall will usher in a new era of research on our universe. Among the many researchers planning to take advantage of the data from the Hubble Space Telescope's successor is Associate Professor of Physics Matthew Walker, who is principal investigator of a newly approved program making use of data collected in telescope's first year of operation.
"The top-level science goal is to learn about the nature of dark matter," Walker explained. This theoretical form of matter has never been directly detected but is estimated to comprise most of the matter in the universe. Various theories have arisen about the form dark matter takes, with the currently dominant cold dark matter theory predicting that it exists in clumps called halos with small basic units, as opposed to galaxy-sized agglomerations.
"One of the key predictions we're trying to test of cold dark matter is the existence of these so-called sub-galactic dark matter halos," Walker said. "That's something people have been trying to test for decades."
These lower-mass collections of dark matter don't have stars in them, making them difficult to detect and observe. Two tests have been devised so far to seek out sub-galactic dark matter halos, Walker explained, but both have so far produced inconclusive results.
"Here, we're introducing a new test," Walker said. "We're looking for perturbations from these sub-galactic dark matter halos on very fragile gravitational systems."
The most fragile gravitational systems that can be observed are "wide" binary stars — pairs of stars orbiting each other but separated by more than 1000 times the distance between the Sun and Earth, making the gravitational forces between them very weak. Walker is particularly focused on looking for wide binary star systems, where two stars would be orbiting each other at distances more than 1,000 times the space between the Earth and the Sun, making the gravitational forces between them very weak.
"That means if a sub-galactic dark matter halo zips through the neighborhood, its gravitational effects can be more than sufficient to destroy this wide binary system," Walker said.
Walker and his team are setting out to examine the data from the James Webb Space Telescope and see if any wide binary star systems exist in dwarf galaxies, which are expected to be dense in dark matter. If they're found, then their very existence would make the cold dark matter theory more unlikely.
"Nobody has been able to say one way or another whether wide binaries exist in the dwarf galaxies for lack of adequate instrumentation," Walker said. "That is where the James Webb Space Telescope will open a new window."
Ben Hunt to Study Quantum Simulators as Part of Major DOE Grant
Associate Professor of Physics Ben Hunt is part of a team of physicists that have received a three-year, $3.9 million grant from the Department of Energy to study an innovative quantum simulator.
"It's an artificial system that's purpose is to simulate naturally occurring quantum systems," Hunt said of the van der Waals Reprogrammable Quantum Simulator that he and his collaborators will be researching.
The reason the team, which includes researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, Harvard University, Purdue University, Penn State University, the University of Wisconsin and the University of Washington, wants to simulate systems that already occur naturally is to better understand them.
"We know that they do amazing things, but there are outstanding, 30-year problems in physics that we have not been able to capture theoretically," Hunt said of these naturally occurring quantum systems, because the systems are far too complex to be simulated on paper or classical computers.
"There's such a mind-boggling number of electrons, all of which are interacting with one another," Hunt said of the naturally occurring systems. "You can't do that simulation on a classical computer — the computing power required is too great."
But with a quantum simulator, Hunt noted, physicists would be able to model these quantum systems and then manipulate the simulations in different ways to better understand how they work.
The role of Hunt's team at Carnegie Mellon University involves designing and building artificial materials for these proposed quantum simulators. As part of the collaboration, Hunt specifically will combine his laboratory's expertise in two-dimensional materials with that of Jeremy Levy of the University of Pittsburgh, who has extensively studied a two-dimensional system comprising lanthanum aluminate and strontium titanate (LAO/STO). This system is able to be programmed to be conductive or insulative in certain patterns simply by exposing it to an electron beam.
"The idea is basically to take one of my two-dimensional materials and put it above this reprogrammable LAO/STO layer such that all of the electrons in this two-dimensional layer feel the effect of the electrons in the patterned LAO/STO layer," Hunt explained. Simply by stacking Hunt's two-dimensional material on top of the LAO/STO layer, one could control the movements of electrons in the two-dimensional material.
"That kind of control allows you to simulate the types of problems that we want to solve in nature that we can't do on classical computers," Hunt said.
large machine learning
Assistant Professor of Physics John Alison's research is devoted to studying a particle that's nearly impossible to observe yet fundamental to the physics of the universe — the Higgs boson.
"This particle is very special in many ways, and there are deep mysteries in all the ways that make it special," Alison said.
For the past 50 years, physicists have relied on an overarching theory to describe the complex interactions between subatomic particles that drive most of the fundamental forces in our universe. This Standard Model works remarkably well in describing and predicting a lot of what scientists have observed on Earth and elsewhere, Alison said, but it's far from perfect.
"We have this theory that, on one hand, is obviously correct," Alison said. "However, at the same time, it's obviously wrong in some ways. It doesn't naturally predict the world we see at all."
"We think that this Higgs particle, which was in many ways the last missing piece of the Standard Model, is also a window to what lies beyond," Alison said, including, hopefully, explanations for the big missing pieces.
In recent decades, the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe has allowed physicists to make fleeting glimpses of the elusive Higgs boson. What makes the particle so difficult to study, Alison noted, is the fact that it decays almost immediately into other particles after it's produced, namely what are called b quarks.
"To study the Higgs, you really need to identify b quarks, because that's what you see in the detector," Alison said.
After years of working on collaborations at CERN, this year, Alison was named the convenor of the group charged with identifying b quarks in the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid detector.
With a team of roughly 50 physicists, Alison is working to develop algorithms that can best sort b quarks out of the many quarks produced by the LHC's collisions. This involves comparing the performance of the algorithms against simulations and real-world experiments and calibrating them based on their findings.
"This is the flagship example of where machine learning and deep learning have transformed the field of particle physics," Alison said.
Another major part of Alison's work at CERN involves designing the "triggers" used on the LHC – algorithms that run in real-time and decide which events end up getting recorded.
"Most of the data that the LHC provides, we can't afford to save to disk," Alison explained, noting the accelerator provides collisions at a rate of 40 million per second, but CERN's researchers can record only about 1,000 collisions per second. "We have to throw away almost all of the data that we get."
These triggers are especially important in studying the Higgs boson because of the rarity of the particle — physicists need to collide about 1 billion particles to produce one Higgs boson. Thus, researchers at CERN need to rely on triggers that can accurately identify the rare b quarks in real time and save them while discarding the unnecessary data.
"Machine learning is so important to this role," Alison concluded.

Cash not welcome at online trading site
Published Tuesday, March 1, 2016 10:30PM EST
Last Updated Thursday, March 3, 2016 10:13AM EST
The barter system is back in a big way for members of a Montreal trading group.
The Montreal edition Bunz Trading Zone was started on Facebook by Maryanna Hardy two summers ago, mimicking a group that had previously been founded in Toronto. Since then, the idea has taken off, with members posting what they have to trade and what they want in return.
The only rules are nothing illegal is permitted and no cash allowed.
"Everybody has a few things around their house that they aren't using," said Hardy. "They don't want to throw it out, they probably can't sell it, but they know it could go to good use."
The system isn't limited to goods. Services like pet-sitting or language lessons can net a tidy, non-monetary return. For instance, Naakita Feldman is working on an art project about Bunz in which she compiles seven hours worth of footage of conversations with people she's met through the group. Every conversation was done as part of a trade.
"In exchange, I've traded tea, I've traded records, video editing lessons, papers to be edited," she said.
Bunz Trading Zone has grown to over 3,000 members in Montreal and work is being done to develop a mobile app which should be available by next summer.

Black Mirror's Charlie Brooker Returns to the BBC With Anti-Viral Wipe
Black Mirror's Charlie Brooker used to write and present a BBC show called ScreenWipe, a TV adaptation of his Guardian newspaper column Screenburn. It transformer into GamesWipe, then NewsWipe or simply Charlie Brooker's Wipe, eventually coalescing into an annual Wipe that we didn't get for the past few years. It was generally look back at the week, or the year, picking up topics of interest, adding poetry, music and references to pop culture whizzing past at the speed of light. It spawned fictitious cultural commentators like Barry Shitpeas and Philomena Cunk, who got her own spinoff shows of inspired inanity. But Charlie Brooker has just been too busy with Black Mirror to do a Wipe show for the last four years. Well, he's not too busy now.
As a result we will be getting a special lockdown edition of the show for the BBC, dubbed Anti-Viral Wipe. It will include Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) and Barry Shitpeas (Al Campbell), offering their "own very special brand of in-depth reporting" and others who "haven't been told they're doing it yet, but have no good excuse not to".
The BBC's press release says: "Charlie Brooker has been lured out of isolation, to go into isolation for the one-off. Charlie will be taking a typically sharp look at life in lockdown, in a show made during lockdown. As well as coverage of the crisis itself, he'll also be looking at the things people are watching and doing to keep themselves occupied."
Anti-Viral Wipe is a Broke & Bones and Endemol Shine UK co-production for BBC Two. The executive producer is Annabel Jones, and series producer is Alison Marlow. The commissioning editor for the BBC is Ben Caudell. Broadcast date is not yet set. Here's a look back at some previous Wipes for context. I do hope they keep the TV theme tune that reflected British computer TV shows f the late seventies and early eighties, until they fall apart.

«Thinking Matter, Thinking Body, Talking Hands»: Emanuel Almborg, Maria Chehonadskih, Alexei Penzin
Talking Hands is presented here in full until 11/05/18.
"Thinking Matter, Thinking Body, Talking Hands" is a film and discursive program relating to the work of Marxist philosopher Evald Ilyenkov. The evening featured a lecture by philosopher Alexei Penzin on Ilyenkov's essay "Cosmology of the Spirit," followed by a screening of artist Emanuel Almborg's film Talking Hands (2016), and a conversation between Almborg and philosopher Maria Chehonadskih.
Penzin's lecture takes llyenkov's early speculative work on the "entropic death of the universe" as a starting point from which to salvage the powers of "thinking matter," while Almborg's film and conversation with Chehonadskih engages with llyenkov's later work on pedagogy, theories of (dis)ability, and the "thinking body". While both lecture and film propose a materialist understanding of thinking outside the individual, one is located in matter and the universe, and the other in sensuous activity with objects and between people, leading to unique understandings of communism.
Alexei Penzin, "'Thinking Matter' in the Universe: Evald Ilyenkov's Communist Cosmology"
In this lecture, Penzin will argue on the contemporary relevance of Evald Ilyenkov's essay «Cosmology of the Spirit,» and explore its historical and philosophical contexts. This short treatise was written in the first half of the 1950s, but only published posthumously in the 1980s as it was considered too heretical in the author's lifetime due to its enormous speculative drive. Addressing the physicist idea of the "entropic death of the universe" and using a combination of materialist dialectics and Spinoza's concept of attribute, Ilyenkov claimed that thought is a necessary attribute of matter as it is able to prevent the terminal entropy of the universe. Ilyenkov's argument also had an implicit but crucial assumption of the future achievement of "classless society," i.e. full communism. Penzin will discuss the ideas of Cosmology in light of Ilyenkov's later ideas about the "ideal" and the "ascension from the abstract to the concrete," and his interpretation of seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. The lecture will also use the ideas of Ilyenkov's Cosmology in order to critically assess the contemporary currents of "speculative" philosophy.
Emanuel Almborg, Talking Hands (Говорящие руки), 2016
HD video and 16mm film transferred to HD video, 48 minutes
Talking Hands is a film about the 1960s Zagorsk school for deaf-blind children outside Moscow, and its pedagogy. The school was established by Evald Ilyenkov, who, in contention with dominant Soviet ideology, began developing ideas of how human consciousness is socially constituted and emerges in relation to material culture, objects, and tools. Inspired by Spinoza, Ilyenkov conceptualized the "thinking body," that is, a body's capacity to "mould its own action actively to the shape of any other body, to coordinate the shape of its movement in space with the shape and distribution of all other bodies" as a fundamental feature of "thinking" or "reason." For Ilyenkov, communism was a pedagogical project for such a vision and subject to emerge. Or as Alexander Suvorov, one of Ilyenkov's deaf-blind students described, "Who told you we see nothing and hear nothing? We see and hear through the eyes and ears of our friends, all people, the entire human race." The film focuses on Suvorov, whom Almborg met in his home in a Moscow suburb. For a few evenings, they spoke with the help of two translators, from English to Russian and from Russian to tactile signing and back—a slow, fragmented conversation marked by misunderstandings and translation errors that served as the basis for the film's dialogue. The film also includes 16mm archive footage documenting the teaching and activities around the Zagorsk school in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The filmmaker and exact date of the footage are unknown; when Almborg found it in the archives in Moscow the only information attached to it was the title "Talking Hands."
Emanuel Almborg is an artist based in Stockholm and London. He works in a wide range of media with a focus on the moving image. He finished the Whitney Independent Study program in New York in 2015, and is currently a PhD candidate at The Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm. His work has recently been shown at the Kyiv Biennial, at Bienal de São Paulo, and at Whitechapel Gallery, London.
Maria Chehonadskih is a philosopher and critic. She received her PhD in philosophy from the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University in 2017. Her research and work concentrates on Soviet epistemologies across Marxist philosophy, literature, and art, as well as on post-Soviet politics. She has given talks in various universities and art institutions on these topics and published in journals and magazines such as Radical Philosophy, South Atlantic Quarterly, Crisis and Critique, e-flux, Mute, and Moscow Art Magazine. In 2014, she co-curated together with Ilya Budraitskis the exhibition Shadow of a Doubt at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow, which was dedicated to the topic of conspiracy. She lives and works in London.
Alexei Penzin teaches at the University of Wolverhampton (UK), and is also a Research Associate at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. Penzin is a member of the collective Chto Delat (What is to be done?). His research has been published in the journals Rethinking Marxism, Crisis and Critique, Mediations, South Atlantic Quarterly, and e-flux, among others. He co-edited the English translation of the book Art and Production (Pluto Press, 2017) by Boris Arvatov, one of the key theorists of the Soviet avant-garde. Currently, he is preparing his book Against the Continuum: Sleep and Subjectivity in Capitalist Modernity for Bloomsbury Academic.
