Teachers play a crucial role in educating the younger generations on the history of the Holocaust. Journalist Sue Osborne looks at the wide range of syllabus related resources provided by the Sydney Jewish Museum for teachers across Australia.
Throughout the school year, the Sydney Jewish Museum has multiple offerings for teachers to engage within the museum space, as well as online and printed resources which can be accessed remotely and used in the classroom. All of the face to face events and seminars are approved by the NSW Education Standards Authority.
The museum's teacher training seminars cover content mainly for History and English teachers who teach the Holocaust, and Studies of Religion teachers teaching about Judaism. These sessions each provide between six and 16 hours of NESA approved professional development and include unique opportunities to hear from panels of Holocaust survivors, museum educators and various industry professionals. They also equip participating teachers with practical classroom applications of the knowledge they have gained and printed resources for future use.
Teachers' Network events are held each term, and are a way of bringing together teachers from across the state from a variety of schools and disciplines. The network aims to provide teachers with an opportunity to engage with colleagues, expand content knowledge, design classroom strategies, and discuss the complexities of Holocaust education as well as education more broadly.
These events are varied in content, and cover topics such as storytelling in the classroom. Teachers can hear from the museum's curator, tour the archives, or listen to a panel of Holocaust survivors. All Teachers' Network events provide three hours of NESA approved professional development.
"The Teachers' Network provides, showcases and shares the wonderful, diverse range of expertise and interests of the dedicated team of education officers, survivors, curators, historians, archivists, volunteers and colleagues, who expertly and sensitively present and give rare insights into the unique resources, artefacts and exhibits intrinsic to the Sydney Jewish Museum," said Stephen M, a head teacher in Modern History.
"The programs and activities reflect the museum's commitment to quality education and experiences – as well as its ever developing relationship with teachers, educators, the community and stakeholders to enhance and promote awareness, understanding, professional development, teaching and learning across a broad spectrum of key learning areas and subjects, including History, English, Studies of Religion, Society and Culture, Legal Studies and Human Rights Education."
The museum educators, the curatorial team and resident historian have compiled resources to aid teachers in the classroom in both online and printed formats.
These resources can be acquired through the museum's website, through the Department of Education and in the museum shop. This is an area that will continue expanding and adapting to syllabus changes to ensure resources are relevant to teachers and their students.
Teachers throughout Australia can also engage with the museum's content and its educators through its Facebook community. SJM Learning is a closed group in which teachers can ask questions and seek answers to their queries about teaching the Holocaust in the classroom and about the content itself.
The museum shares content from its professional staff, its collection and its resource of educational materials to enrich this community of teachers.

A survivor's tale
IE journalist Sue Osborne witnessed Egon Sonnenschein, Holocaust survivor, tell his story during a school excursion in late 2019.
Egon was born in 1930 in Ptuj, Yugoslavia. He was 10 when Germany attacked Yugoslavia in April 1941 and his life on the run began.
The family fled to his grandparents' home in Croatia, a puppet Nazi state run by the brutal Ustashi, whose cruelty rivalled that of the most abominable regimes. Egon recalled looking out the window to see men, women and children tied together being marched to the river at bayonet point. Once at the river, some were beaten to death with hammers. The dead were tied to the living, and both were pushed into the river. Those tied to the dead drowned. Egon later walked by the river and saw the disfigured bodies. He said he didn't stop shaking until well after the war had ended.
In another instance, Egon heard of villagers locked into a church that was then doused in petrol and set alight. He said Jews were not allowed to work or have money or any means of transport, not even bicycles. "We were sitting ducks," he said. Signs around the town said "No Jews, Roma or dogs allowed to sit on park benches".
The Sonnenscheins survived thanks to the generosity of the town mayor, a former student of Egon's grandfather, who saved more than 300 Jews and Serbs from death.
Desperate to leave Croatia for Italian-occupied Slovenia, the family purchased false identity papers from a Slovenian man who offered to take their household goods to Slovenia, issuing a false contact address to aid their border crossing.
The family arrived, weary and fearful. Despite paying a large sum for help, they had no permits to enter the country and were imprisoned for five weeks. Upon his release, Egon's father went to collect their household goods and exchanged Italian liras with the "helpful Slovenian man". During this exchange, Egon's father noticed his own beautiful carpet was laid out on the floor, and realised that the plan had been to have the Sonnenscheins killed and steal their belongings.
In 1943, the family moved again. Crossing Lake Como and struggling up mountains, they finally made it to Switzerland, where they discovered friendship and people willing to help. Egon was entrusted to the care of a foster family. To this day, he remains in touch with the children and grandchildren of the family who, he reflects, "treated me better than their own children".
The Sonnenscheins later made their way to Israel – where they lived for seven years – before settling in South Africa for 26 years. In 1983, Egon, his wife Miriam and their four children came to Australia.
Egon told the students he had learnt to "never give up", to appreciate family and education, to look for good things and put bad things behind you, that helping people is a privilege, to treat everybody as you want to be treated, and that the glass is always half full.

ATP slammed for response on Peng Shuai as Tennis Australia commend WTA's leadership
By Phil Lutton and Sam Phillips
December 3, 2021 — 6.10pm
The ATP, the body that runs the men's tennis tour, has been blasted for a half-hearted statement that fails to back the WTA's move to suspend all tournaments in China until concerns for Peng Shuai's safety have eased.
Peng, a doubles champion at Wimbledon and the French Open, made allegations of sexual assault against former Chinese vice-premier Zhang Gaoli on November 2 before disappearing from public view for weeks. Her claims were also removed from social media.
The 35-year-old has been seen only via a number of scripted videos on Chinese state media and in a heavily criticised interview with International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach. The IOC says it has spoken to Peng again and contends she is free and not in danger, a belief that has been met with scepticism.
The IOC's attempt at "quiet diplomacy" has been derided by other sporting bodies, while the WTA and chairman Steve Simon made good on threats to omit China from the tour schedule if Peng's wellbeing was not guaranteed. The body also wants a full investigation into her allegations.
Those waiting for the ATP to join the fray were disappointed. In a statement, chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said: "The situation involving Peng Shuai continues to raise serious concerns within and beyond our sport. The response to those concerns has so far fallen short. We will continue to consult with our members and monitor any developments as this issue evolves."
Andy Roddick, the American former world No.1, was among those to blast the statement, saying it was an example of "how to say a lot of words and say nothing".

But at least the ATP said something. Tennis Australia (TA) took more than two days to address the WTA's move, despite hosting the next grand slam and being in the region. Repeated questions from The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age have gone unanswered until a statement appeared on their social media channels on Friday night.
It is a delicate matter for TA, especially given one of its associate sponsors is state-owned Chinese distiller Luzhou Laojiao, which signed a five-year deal in 2018. The company advertises its brands in both languages across the main courts of the tournament.
TA can scarcely afford to lose a massive financial backer after a difficult year with COVID. The governing body reportedly posted a loss of nearly $100 million and took out a $40 million loan from the Victorian government.
Former Australian Open tournament director Paul McNamee said on Friday he did not believe TA's commercial partnerships were a factor in its stance.
"I don't think it has anything to do with that, honestly," McNamee told the Herald and The Age.
"I'm sure they're not being quiet because of their relationship with China, not at all. That's my opinion. I don't think Tennis Australia are playing some sort of diplomatic game here."
His confidence in TA is backed by conversations he had with the organisation's boss, Craig Tiley, when Peng was first registered missing.
"Craig reached out to me to ask what I knew. He does care," McNamee said. "It's not about the politics. I would absolutely refute that, based on the information available to me."

How can Automation and AI remodel your businesses?
HomeBusiness SolutionsHow can Automation and Artificial Intelligence remodel your businesses?
How can Automation and Artificial Intelligence remodel your businesses?
With artificial intelligent Bluetooth speaker, intelligent mobile apps, Self-driving cars and robot receptionist, it has become quite obvious that technology has exceeded humanity. Automation and Artificial Intelligence is set to revolutionise the way we live and work. Rather the integration of both has increased the efficiency, safety, security and opportunities in almost all the fields concerned.
Automation is using the hardware and software to get the things done automatically. They exactly do what you want them to do and thus set you free from all the boring, repetitive and unproductive tasks in your life. Artificial Intelligence is using the software to find a solution to problems that usually needs human understanding. The focal point of Artificial Intelligence is its ability to learn whereas automation functions on repetitive tasks and simulation. Indeed, the technologies are different but then they complement each other well.
Robots in the industry: Manufacturing and other large scale industries have started adopting AI and automated robotics to increase the precision and productivity. The combination of both is not just replacing humans but also giving hopes to the industry, where finding the labour has become a task in itself. Zara has built 14 highly automated factories in Spain where robots look around the work, allowing the company to follow its just in time inventory approach. The technologies will also take over the receptionist and customer care jobs.
Enterprise mobility: A central working office model with the freedom to work from any location is the future of businesses. The evolving AI solutions will give freedom to employees to control their environments and deliver better results. The employee will now be able to contribute to a business operation or problem even from his home. He need not visit the location to solve the issue or need not physically attend the training to become more competent.
Higher precision and increased efficiency: With the development of automation and artificial intelligence the businesses will now be able to enjoy the higher precision and increased efficiency as the chances of error, risk and inefficiency will reduce to a great extent. The technologies are able to process large sets of data in a much faster way resulting into a logical strategy and planning for the growth of the business. Further, these smart machines don't require to be paid again and again. Thus, saving a lot of cost for the businesses to reinvest.
Consolidating and integrating business operations: Large scale businesses have a common problem of scattered operation and a bad synergy in them. The modern technological solutions or computing abilities can combine all these fragmented parts together after analysing them individually. This result in well-coordinated employees, systems, operations, working and better outcomes.
Improved cyber security: The learning ability of Artificial Intelligence has come up as a great promise to fight cyber attacks and find loopholes in security. The technology can learn patterns of networks, devices, systems and decode deviations that indicate an approaching attack. In fact, there are many new start ups are budding based on this because this technology can really ensure better data and information integration for the businesses.
Tech Moguls like Google, IBM, Facebook and Microsoft have already invested in this field, indicating us that future definitely belongs to Automation and AI.

TIGER TRIO - NICOLE MITCHELL, JOELLE LEANDRE, MYRA MELFORD May 2023
Tiger Trio, the inspired union of pianist Myra Melford, bassist Joëlle Léandre and flutist Nicole Mitchell, brings an uncommon lucidity to the art of spontaneous composition. On their debut 2016 release Unleashed (RogueArt), the three pioneering women exhibit a mode of interplay that is "remarkably disciplined and focused, with an emphasis on ... mutuality that gives each track a unified feel" (freejazzblog.com). In 2018 they recorded their sophomore release Map of Liberation (RogueArt), while on a tour of 11 cities in the US and Europe.
"Map of Liberation... exhibits the combinatory wonders of these three masters' effusive vitalities, their communication culminating in a jubilant fount of inspiration. There's an excitement and a joy here that's not often paralleled in any music. It's colorful. It's playful. It's physical. It's powerful." (freejazzblog.com, Sep 2019)
"Even were the names not gracing the cover, there would be no mistaking the individual voices cultivated by these musicians for so many years: the unmistakably beautiful piano sonorities with which Myra Melford opens "Compassion"; the first notes of "Courage" for a taste of how integrated flute and voice are in Nicole Mitchell's conception; or the harmonic soaked bass rumblings of Joel̈ le Leá ndre slamming "Reflection" into high gear as points of individual reference. More often than not, however, it is a kind of melding, a spontaneous and lightning-fast merging of creative intuition, which propels this music beyond improvisational exercise into the realms of true dialogue. Here is a supergroup if ever one existed, captured in full flight, or, given the group's name, in purr, growl and roar. " (New York City Jazz Record, Jan 2020)
The trio began as a result of Melford's Doris Duke Building Demand for the Arts Residency at the Yerba Buena Center of the Arts in San Francisco (2013-15), intended to aid the center in building an audience for their jazz and improvised music program. This culminated in the New Frequencies Fest: Jazz@YBCA in February of 2015. For her own performance on that festival, Melford chose to invite Léandre and Mitchell, whose duo work on Sisters Where (RogueArt) and collaborations with Thomas Buckner, Michael Dessen and others have shown a potent simpatico. The performance at YBCA revealed a wonderful chemistry, and the three decided to continue working as a collectively led trio. Although the chamber-like texture of the full trio predominates, Tiger Trio weighs all options in terms of orchestration, venturing duo combinations, solo interludes and other unexpected strategies as the music unfolds. "I watch Myra climb into the piano, and Joëlle pull the wood out of her bass," Mitchell says, "and I see myself squeezing through the flute's silver holes. We soar through the triangle of women, fiercely committed to the rapture of instrumental sound."In addition to Melford's Doris Duke funded residency at YBCA, she has received the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Alpert Award in the Arts. A professor at the University of California-Berkeley, she is among the most celebrated pianist-composers of her time, "an explosive player, a virtuoso who shocks and soothes" (San Francisco Chronicle).
Mitchell, a longtime Chicagoan and the Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, has been hailed for her "Afrofuturist vision" and credited as "probably the most inventive flutist in the past 30 years of jazz" by The New York Times. Her varied projects and leadership as first woman chair of the AACM have widened the scope of improvised music as a whole.
Léandre, from France, served as Darius Milhaud Visiting Professor at Mills College in Oakland; it was during that time that she and Melford first met and played together. Léandre also received the DAAD grant in Berlin for two years, as well as a Villa Kujoyama Kyoto residency. Prior to that she was Creative Associate at the Center for Performing Arts in Buffalo, NY, working with Morton Feldman and John Cage. Heard on more than 180 CDs, she has been likened by fellow bassist William Parker to "a sculptor carving and shaping musical poems from large blocks of sonic matter."

Dow Barely Budges Up Amid Rate Worries
By TIM PARADIS The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Stocks barely budged Monday, ending narrowly mixed after yields on the 30-year Treasury note briefly hit 5 percent and investors grew skittish a day ahead of the Federal Reserve's first meeting of the year.
After a volatile week in which stocks lost ground, merger and acquisition news gave a boost to stocks for much of the session before the 30-year yield moved higher. Merrill Lynch & Co. agreed to acquire wealth manager First Republic Bank for $1.8 billion in cash and stock and Citigroup Inc. struck an agreement to buy British insurer Prudential PLC's Egg Banking PLC online bank for about $1.13 billion.
Many on Wall Street were girding for a busy week of economic and earnings news as they tried to determine whether an indecisive market can resume its advance from the second half of 2006. A two-day Fed meeting begins today, after which investors will receive the central bank's latest read on the economy and interest rates, and a torrent of fourth-quarter earnings reports is due. The Fed has left short-term interest rates unchanged at its last four meetings.
"The market really can't find any direction," said Todd Leone, managing director of equity trading at Cowen & Co., describing recent sessions as "rudderless" ahead of the Fed meeting. He said investors appeared unnerved after the yields on the 30-year Treasury note moved higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 3.76, or 0.03 percent, to 12,490.78.
Broader stock indicators were mixed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 1.56, or 0.11 percent, at 1,420.62, and the Nasdaq composite index was up 5.60, or 0.23 percent, at 2,441.09.
Yields on the 30-year Treasury note hit 5 percent and then slipped back as investors wrestled with questions over the direction of interest rates.

Oil fell sharply, though not enough to sends the major indexes higher. Oil settled down $1.48 at $53.94 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange amid concerns OPEC members would increase production. Exxon Mobil Corp. fell 41 cents to $73.20, while ConocoPhillips slipped 12 cents to $64.65.

The referees in the National Football League want a raise.
Should the NFL comply? Do these men with other professions, and who don't work full time for the NFL, deserve to be "shown the money?"
Opinions inside the Cleveland Browns' locker room following Sunday's 9-6 loss to Seattle were mostly hush, hush on the subject.
"I don't want to comment on that, because the NFL would fine me if I said something bad," defensive end Keith McKenzie said.
And although the refs certainly didn't lose the season opener for the Browns, the group of officials were shaky right from the start. On the opening possession of the game, Cleveland could've and probably should've been the benefactor of three penalties -- late hit, offsides, and pass interference. The refs looked scared to make a call early, finally throwing the yellow hanky for the first time with 13:36 remaining in the first half as Seattle jumped offsides. There were numerous situations after that in which a no-call was made, with the officials staying out of harm's way.
But the timidness at times does not mean the officials weren't prevalent when the game was on the line. On the Seahawks' game-winning drive, which culminated with a 52-yard Rian Lindell field goal with three seconds left, Browns defensive back Anthony Henry was flagged for pass interference. It came after Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck missed receiver Koren Robinson on a slant, a miss that would have set up a third-and-10 situation. Instead, the ball was moved to the Cleveland 45, and two plays later, Lindell was a hero.
"The refs are going to make the call on what they felt they saw. I just have to go from there, and learn from it," said Henry, a rookie out of South Florida. "I felt like I played that play pretty good ... but the call was made and that's that.
"I didn't even know they were replacement refs," added Henry. "Everybody has to do their job, and they did the best they could. I can't blame that one call on whether it was a replacement ref or whatever. ... I felt they did a good job, but this is my first game in the league. I didn't know who was who out there."
HUMOR WITH A HANKY -- One thing the replacement group of referees, headed by Bill Etzler, did provide, was some humor.
For an entire set of downs in the later stages of the second quarter, Etzler left his microphone on Sunday. There were also a few plays in the second half when fans could hear Etzler talking with his colleagues.
SHIFTING LINES -- With defensive end Courtney Brown sidelined with a knee injury, the Browns' line was short. They weren't the lone line with changes, though, as first-year head coach Butch Davis juggled his offensive line before kickoff.
Davis moved free agent acquisition Ross Verba from right tackle to left guard in place of Brad Bedell. At right tackle, second-year pro Roger Chanoine was plugged in.
"I decided, overwhelmingly, that's the group we're going to do it with now. I can't see us going back," Davis said. "The reason behind it, is we want to get the five best offensive linemen out there that we came out of training camp with."
Verba didn't mind the move.
"It wasn't a problem. I'm a natural left-side guy and that is where I played all last year and felt good. So I knew once I could lock in my mindset and move to left guard, it wouldn't be a problem switching positions," Verba said. "Coach is just trying to put the best five guys out there."
GOIN DEEP? -- With starting cornerbacks Shawn Springs and Willie Williams out with injuries, many wondered if the Browns would attack the Seahawks' secondary. And after Tim Couch hit Kevin Johnson for a 28-yard gain on the first offensive play from scrimmage, it looked like their question had been answered.
But the Browns and Couch, who threw for 176 yards and an interception, had little success down the field from there on out against an inexperienced Seattle backfield.
"We challenged them early on with some play-action stuff, and some other deep routes," said Couch, who finished 17-for-33 passing. "When we did try to challenge them a couple of other times, they were able to get some pressure. Chad Brown, (Levon) Kirkland and (John) Randle are tough to block when we want to hold the ball for a while and challenge those guys down field."
THE ELEMENTS -- With a game-time temperature of 81 degrees, Browns fans could be found in shorts and T-shirts on September 9. That doesn't guarantee that the weather was all perfect, though, as wind gusts up to 22 miles-per-hour affected the Browns' game plan.
"The wind was a factor. It really was," said Couch. "It made it kind of tough to throw the out pattern to the one side ... and some deep balls."
The wind was near its highest strength, coming hard off the lake, when Lindell booted his career-long field goal.
MILESTONE CONNECTION -- While Davis suffered a loss in his coaching debut on the Browns' sideline, Seattle head coach/general manager Mike Holmgren picked up career win No. 100. Holmgren becomes the 28th coach in NFL history to reach the milestone. To make it even sweeter, the memorable win came against Browns President and CEO Carmen Policy, who Holmgren spent six seasons (1986-91) with in San Francisco.

METCALFE COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – A Metcalfe County man accused of killing his roommate has pleaded guilty to the crime.
Kentucky State Police arrested 46-year-old Bobbie Lawson following the 2017 shooting death of his roommate, 30-year old Bobby L. Hubert, of Summershade.
Investigators say Lawson killed Hubert after the two got into an argument.
Lawson was charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse.
According to the Glasgow Daily News, Lawson pleaded guilty just three weeks before a jury trial was set to begin.
The newspaper says, in exchange for his guilty plea, the commonwealth recommended a sentence of 20 years for Lawson.
Formal sentencing is scheduled for May 28.

Wan-Bissaka's head turned by Man United link - Boothroyd

(Reuters) - Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka's head has been turned by reports that he is wanted by Manchester United, England Under-21 manager Aidy Boothroyd has said.
British media reported that the Premier League clubs are in talks over a deal for the right back, who is representing England at the European Under-21 Championship and scored an injury time own goal in their 2-1 defeat by France on Tuesday.
"When that speculation is flying around it is bound to turn your head," Boothroyd told reporters. "For a young player... it would be daft not to say that in some way he must think about it.
"What I will say is because he doesn't say too much you don't get to find out too much. He keeps things to himself and is a very private guy."
The 21-year-old, who has three years left on his Palace contract, started 35 Premier League games for the club last season.

Q: Convertir un array de objetos en objeto indexado de objetos Tengo el siguiente array :
const connections = [{fromBox: 0, fromConnector: "port_0", toBox: 1, toConnector: "port_0"},
                     {fromBox: 0, fromConnector: "port_1", toBox: 1, toConnector: "port_1"},
                     {fromBox: 1, fromConnector: "port_0", toBox: 4, toConnector: "port_0"}
                    ]

y necesito pasarlo a un objeto con indices como :
"connections": {
    "0": {
      "fromBox": "0",
      "fromConnector": "port_0",
      "toBox": "1",
      "toConnector": "port_0",
    },
    "1": {
      "fromBox": "0",
      "fromConnector": "port_1",
      "toBox": "1",
      "toConnector": "port_1"
    },
    "2": {
      "fromBox": "1",
      "fromConnector": "port_0",
      "toBox": "4",
      "toConnector": "port_0"
    }
  }

He encontrado una solucion sencilla que sería el Object.assign:
const newObj = Object.assign({}, ...connections );

Este metodo me genera un objeto pero no se como asignarles un indice e introducir el string "connections" como key del objeto.
Si alguien se le ocurre alguna solucion u orientacion sera bien recibida.
Gracias por adelantado.

A: La solución más sencilla es guardar el resultado de Object.assign en una clave de un nuevo objeto.
Ejemplo:

const connections = [{
        fromBox: 0,
        fromConnector: "port_0",
        toBox: 1,
        toConnector: "port_0"
    },
    {
        fromBox: 0,
        fromConnector: "port_1",
        toBox: 1,
        toConnector: "port_1"
    },
    {
        fromBox: 1,
        fromConnector: "port_0",
        toBox: 4,
        toConnector: "port_0"
    },
]

//Crear un nuevo objeto
let ob = {
    connections: Object.assign({}, connections)
}
console.log(ob)

A: Yo haría algo como esto:
final_object = {"collections": {}};
initial_object = final_object.forEach(function(element, index) {
  final_object["collections"][index] = element
});

Donde initial_object es el objecto que dices que es tu entrada. Tal vez hay soluciones más elegantes pero esta funciona

Several weeks ago I went and visited my friend Kathy. We spent the whole weekend stamping. It was so much fun! I went through all the projects she had in her stamp room and I saw this adorable Ghirardelli Chocolate box.
I told her I wanted to learn how to make one so we did. It was so cute that I copied the design exactly like hers. I already know what you're going to ask....where can I find the pattern? Click here to see a wonderful tutorial on Shelley's blog.
After seeing how easy these were to make, I decided to make this pink box for one of the projects I included in my holiday exchange box.
Here's a look at the box open.
It can hold three of the Ghirardelli squares.
Another one of the projects that I made for the Holiday Exchange box is this cone ornament.
Those of you who have been following my blog for some time may recognize this project because I've made one of these before. Click here to see my other ornament and to find the tutorial on how to make it. I made that one about two years ago so I thought it was time to pull this idea out of the archives. So often we think we have to come up with a brand new stamping idea each time we sit down to make something. There's nothing wrong with copying something we've done before and simply changing the paper or the stamp set we used. It can save a lot of time which is something I'm always short on during the holidays.
This cone ornament can be hung on the tree as is (with some ribbon attached to the back) or you can adhere two of these together back to back (with ribbon between the two) and hang them on the tree that way.
Last month I signed up for a holiday exchange with some of my stamping friends. We each filled out a survey about our stamping interests as well as a little bit about our personal lives so our exchange partner could get to know us better. Then the fun began! We had two stamping assignments per week and then at the end of the month we mailed off a box of stamped goodies to our exchange partner. Now that my partner has received her box, I'll be posting all of the items I made for her. Oh yeah, the tissue holder that I just posted was one of the items in her box too.
Our first assignment was to make a hand-stamped card and mail it to her. Here's the card I made.
I made this card back in the beginning of October. Now that I'm looking at the card, I honestly can't remember if this layout came from a sketch challenge or if I came up with this one on my own. I'm a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due, so if this came from a sketch challenge I truly apologize. I simply don't remember.
I used my Old Olive and Orchid Opulence markers to ink up this stamp from the Asian Artistry stamp set. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out using my rectangle Nestabilities. With the cardstock still inside the Nestability, I sponged some Orchid Opulence ink around the edges. If that didn't make sense, click here to read one of my previous posts where I show photos and explain it a little better.
I used two pieces of Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain across the front of the card. I just flipped the ribbon over so you can't see the polka dots.
I had some die-cut flowers that I had purchased at a local craft store and I offset two of them on top of each other to create the flowers at the bottom of the card. I finished it off with a Rhinestone in the center.
Now that fall is here, that means it's also cold and flu season. With that in mind, I thought I'd made this cute tissue holder.
You can find the pattern to make this on Barbara's Blog. I stamped the swirling image from the Baroque Motifs stamp set in Regal Rose ink on Pretty in Pink cardstock. I stamped the two flowers in Rose Red on Whisper White cardstock, cut them out, added a Rhinestone Brad to the center, and attached them using Dimensionals.

Kent Schools A Level Performance Summer 2019
This article looks at A Level outcomes for Kent schools in the summer of 2019, following the release of performance data last week, Medway to follow. Kent schools outperform national outcomes in Attainment; summary data for Progress from GCSE to A Level not yet available. For individual schools I consider that the Progress score is the most important measure, as schools start from such different positions depending on their entry requirements for entry to the Sixth Form.
The school with the standout performance is Valley Park in Maidstone, top of the non-selective (n/s) Progress table for the second year running. It is the best school overall at progressing it A Level students; ahead of every grammar school; and second highest n/s on its A Level point score.
It is followed by Herne Bay High in terms of Progress, both classified as Well Above Average, as in 2018. Both come ahead of Skinners School, the leading grammar. Altogether there are just six grammar schools with Above Average Progress, compared with nine Below Average, and Mayfield Grammar Well Below Average. There are another five n/s schools classified as Above Average on Progress: St Simon Stock; Homewood; St Anselm's; Knole and Hillview.
As usual, The Judd School heads the list of high attainment measured in A Level point scores, ahead of Skinners, Cranbrook, Weald of Kent and Tunbridge Wells Girls, all from West Kent, and Highworth in Ashford. Altogether there are nine n/s schools above the lowest grammar school point scorers, Chatham and Clarendon and Mayfield. They are as usual headed by Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, together with: Valley Park; Hillview; St Simon Stock; and Knole.
Kent has a large number of excellent n/s schools offering large Sixth Forms that compete academically with grammar schools. Students should in any case look around at the different offerings before choosing to remain in their home school, or else to change to a good alternative. I provide extensive tables of performance and commentary below.
Please note that I have only considered n/s schools with more than 40 students taking A Levels, as in general those with fewer pupils are only able to offer a very limited programme and so are not comparable. It is difficult to make comparative judgements at this level as schools vary so much in the pattern of their intake into Year 12 that the Achievement tables are of limited value. However, Progress from GCSE to A Level can be more revealing, with good n/s schools tending to better than many grammar schools for their students. These may be a useful contribution to decisions on where to follow one's studies.
Three grammar schools do not appear in the tables: Dartford; Tonbridge and Dane Court; as all three enter all their pupils for the International Baccalaureate instead of A Level and the two are not comparable. You will find a current data set for each Kent school at the time of writing here (commentary needs updating!
Oakwood Park has a very low proportion for a of grammar school of A Level candidates taking three A Levels: 93 out of the 155 who took at least one. You will find the equivalent proportion for every school with A Level candidates in the Individual Schools section.
You will find the equivalent article for the 2018 A Level outcomes here.
Valley Park School
The Valley Park performance is exceptional, outscoring every grammar school in its Progress Score and also an astonishing eleven grammar schools in the table of straight academic performance over the best three A Level scores. Progress was based on the 108 students who took at least one A Level. The A Level Points Score measures the 38 students who took three, the majority of others will have had a mixed programme of A Level and Vocational courses. Whilst this is by some way its best performance yet, the school has shown a consistently high performance in Progress and A Level Points over over recent years. Unsurprisingly, Valley Park is the most oversubscribed non-selective school in Kent at age eleven. For entry to the A Level Sixth Form, Valley Park's entrance requirements are quite modest:
Valley Park A Level Requirements
A minimum of 5 grade 9-4 at GCSE, including English and Mathematics together with the specific subject entry requirements.
Specific subjects usually require Level 6, and occasionally Level 7.
Kent Non-Selective A Level Progress
There is not a great correlation between performance at GCSE and A Level for non-selective schools, suggesting that choice of school where it exists, needs to be considered carefully when using such criteria at the two distinct entrance ages.
I do not generally consider schools with small Sixth Forms, or those who are low performing as individual circumstances would need to be taken into account. For example, Hayesbrook School in Tonbridge had 38 Year 13 pupils up to last summer. Thirty of these took at least one A Level, with just 10 taking three, with many of the students taking up one or more vocational subjects, results of which are not published. A Level progress was a strong average at 0.14, with two of those students achieving excellent average grades of at least AAB according to the data, so the course was clearly of benefit for most. However, the school, like many others, has to consider whether such numbers are financially viable and whether they are able to offer a worthwhile range of courses to suit students' needs, whilst knowing that a Sixth Form can add prestige to a school.
Students at many of the schools topping the list have made better progress from GCSE than their local grammar schools, Herne Bay High out rating all East Kent grammar schools. Hillview School for Girls, the popular non-selective school in Tonbridge, has a better Progress Level than the Judd and Weald of Kent Grammar in the same town. Girls at Northfleet School for Girls make much better Progress than those at nearby Mayfield Grammar and, remarkably, the same level of A Level Points (below).
Seven of last year's top ten performers (omitting two schools with low numbers) are also in the list below: Valley Park; Saint George's CofE (Gravesend); Longfield; Bennett Memorial Diocesan School; Herne Bay; Homewood and Northfleet School for Girls. All but three of the highest progress scoring schools are also in the list below of those with highest attainment, confirming their academic quality.

'Num': the number of students in the school who took at least one A Level.
'Prog': short for Progress. These figures tell you how much progress students who studied A levels at the school made between the end of key stage 4 and the end of their A level studies, compared to similar students across England. A score above zero means students made more progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.
'Av Grade': This tells you the average A Level grade and average points that students achieved per A level entry.
3 A Level Points: The average score of the best 3 A levels for each student who qualifies for this measure. This can also be expressed as an average A Level grade for the school as in this table.
There are two schools with Below Average Progress and more than 20 students taking three A Levels. These are Ursuline College, with 60 of its 71 Year 13 pupils taking at least one A Level, 26 of whom took three, but attracting a Progress rating of -0.96 and an Attainment Score of 10.8, equivalent to an E Grade. Both of these assessments are by some way the lowest in the county. Archbishop's School, much fallen from its place as an oversubscribed academically successful school of a few years back, had 49 Year 13 pupils, all but one of whom took an A Level and 21 taking three, with a Progress Level of -0.66, and Attainment Grade D. The latter is fourth lowest in Kent, but above Leigh Academy (100 taking A Levels, and Astor College (54), both with an average A Level Grade of D-.
Kent Grammar A Level Progress
The leading grammar schools are no surprise, with all but one of last year's high performers in the list again. Queen Elizabeth's Grammar was the leading school last year and has a track record of seeing its students proceed well. At the other end of the scale, Mayfield Grammar in Gravesend had a disastrous year. This is demonstrated in both tables below, the school not surprisingly losing one of the highest proportion of its Year 11 pupils, with 26% not proceeding to the Sixth Form, Gravesend Grammar clearly benefitting according to the data. A similar pattern occurs in Ashford with Norton Knatchbull losing 29% of its Year 11s, and Highworth benefitting. Dover Boys, Folkestone Girls and the two Sittingbourne grammar schools also lose large numbers at the end of Year 11. These six schools are amongst the eight Kent grammars who all see the highest fall out rate at this stage.

Skinners 136 0.25 B+ Mayfield 143 -0.56 C-
Cranbrook 140 0.24 C Below Average

One school of particular interest is Invicta Grammar, at the centre of a national scandal concerning off-rolling students at the end of Year 12 in 2016 to improve standards at A Level. There were 26 students that year (15% of the total) who left or were encouraged/forced to leave at or before the end of Year 12, with the school going to town about its excellent A Level results as it regularly came at the top of league tables. For the current Year 13, this problem has completely vanished with just one student leaving over the period. Unfortunately, a consequence is that when compared with schools that followed the rules, its position in the tables has fallen sharply with Progress – Below Average for the second consecutive year.
Highest proportion of losses for 2019 was at Barton Court , with 10% of its students leaving in Year 12, l also highest with 13% in 2017, third highest with 9% in 2018.
I look at The Judd School outcomes below.
Kent Non-Selective A Level Attainment Points
There are four different measures of Attainment in the table: Average Grade across each entry in a school; Average Score for each entry, scoring system explained here; proportion of students achieving AAB or higher grades in at least 2 facilitating subjects; and Grade and points for a student's best 3 A levels. each of these measures highlights a different aspect of performance, and I choose the final one as it appears to me to offer the best guide.
I believe it is quite a remarkable fact that the top six n/s schools have achieved a higher academic standard in terms of performance than six grammar schools. It is not surprising that Bennett Memorial, highly selective through its religious criteria and regularly heavily oversubscribed. tops the list as usual, but Valley Park has surely done exceptionally well coming second with none of the same advantages. Indeed its performance score of 35.1 in A Level points is only slightly shy of Invicta Grammar with 37.9 points, Maidstone Grammar and Maidstone Grammar for Girls both with 37.6 points all in the same town, and just ahead of the fourth grammar, Oakwood Park with 33.1, the same score as Maidstone's St Simon Stock Catholic Comprehensive.
In Gravesham, students at Saint George's CofE Comprehensive exceeded and Northfleet School for Girls achieved the same academic standard as Mayfield Grammar. Both schools achieved these results in spite of having begun their A Level course from the much lower standard of pupils who had not passed, or not taken the eleven plus, as seen by the considerably higher Progress Level.
I consider there is little value in looking at the lower end of the n/s table. Each school will have its own policy on what it can offer, the academic levels at which it admits students to the Sixth Form and the size and nature of vocational courses it offers alongside A Levels. Several schools have recently made the decision that they are unable to offer an effective Sixth Form on grounds of numbers, choice able to be offered, or the financial cost of running small courses, and so have closed them down. However, Ursuline College deserves a special mention with an average A Level Grade of E+ for the 60 students who took at least one A Level and the 26 who took three, the only school in the county with an E Grade for either of the two measures let alone both, apart from Ebbsfleet Academy that only had two students taking three A Levels.
Bennett Memorial 35.6 Saint George's 29.8
Valley Park 35.1 St Gregory's 29.6
Hillview 33.8 Northfleet Girls 28.4
St Simon Stock 33.1 Homewood 27.8
Knole 33.0 Dartford Sci & Tech 26.7
Mascalls 30.8 St Anselm's 26.5
Longfield 30.3 St John's 26.3
Kent Grammar A Level Attainment
Of those seven schools that 'super' select most or all of their pupils at age age eleven through high Kent Test scores, just Judd (see below) and Sklnners are on the list of high performers at A Level, with Dartford and Tonbridge not counted as they take the International Baccalaureate instead of A Level.
Kent Grammar A Level Attainment Points
Judd 47.5 Chatham & C 26.9
Skinners 44.7 Mayfield 28.4
TWGGS 43.0 Wilmington G 28.6
Cranbrook 39.7 Wilmington B 30.0
Weald 39.7 Dover Boys 30.1
Highworth 39.6 Norton Knatchbull 30.6
TWGGS (Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School), Weald of Kent and Highworth all take girls who were found selective at eleven, without regard to pass scores.
The performance of Highworth Grammar in Ashford, a girls school with mixed sixth form appearing in both grammar school lists, is particularly noteworthy, as it has none of the advantages of the five West Kent grammar schools.
The Judd School, Tonbridge
The Judd School, run by the same Foundation as Skinners, regularly appears at the top of this list, but has the highest academic requirement of entrance to its Sixth Form of any grammar school in the county (but see Dartford Grammar, see below).
The Judd School: Sixth Form Entry Requirements
Students must have achieved a minimum average performance points* score of 6.5 (close to an A Grade) in their best 10 qualifications, or of all qualifications if fewer than 10 subjects completed. Students must additionally have completed a minimum of six GCSEs, including a 5 or better in each of Mathematics and English Language. Students additionally need to satisfy the requirements of their chosen subjects. In the event of oversubscription, the school will admit a maximum of 75 external applicants, all internal applicants being offered a place if they meet this standard. In addition, applicants will be ranked by academic ability, measured by ranked average performance points* score in their best 10 qualifications, or of all qualifications if fewer than 10 subjects completed, the highest score being given the highest rank. Individual course requirements are for at least Grade 7 in all subjects.
As a result, Judd has seen the third highest increase in numbers, from Year 11 to Year 12 in the county, of 48% high performing boys and girls. This is a net increase of just 54 students, suggesting that some 21 Year 11 boys either did not qualify, or did not choose to carry on into the sixth form. The very high Entrance requirement to the Sixth Form may well have dampened the progress performance, as there is less opportunity to improve towards the ceiling, although Skinners appears to have done so.
Second highest increase is Simon Langton Boys, a moderately performing school in A Level performance, nearly doubling in size at 93% extra pupils, many transferring across from the two local girls' grammar schools. Whilst such a pattern is not uncommon, the level of it at Simon Langton is extreme. Dartford Grammar, also pursuing high performing pupils, recruits at an academic level similar to Judd, but its oversubscription cut off is by distance from the school rather than by highest performance. For this September it more than doubled the size of its Year 11 cohort to 305 boys and girls, but far the largest grammar school Sixth Form in the county.
The performance of Dover Boys Grammar is particularly concerning, as it lost nearly half of its Year Eleven students who did not proceed to the Sixth Form, this Autumn, possibly as a result of having the second lowest GCSE outcomes of any Kent grammar.

Thanks as always Peter. Independent information and comment of this quality are unique in the education world. It still seems strange that KCC employees have to rely on Kentadvice to find out what is happening in Kent schools.

TWGSB is conspicuous by its absence - do you have data for this school please Peter? PETER: I am afraid you have misunderstood the purpose of the article which looks both at overall performance, then at the those schools at the top, and grammar schools at the foot of the tables. There are 20 grammar school identified, which means that TWGSB is one of the 12 Kent grammars in the middle. You will find a link to the full data set in line two of the article, and a second in my Individual Schools section, Paragraph seven, which contains a current data set for each school at the time of writing, although commentary needs updating. I think these are what you are looking for.

It's been about a year that I've been actively working on pages for this comic.... to think it took less than a year for me to burn away my buffer....

EB-5 Source of Funds - Shareholder Equity Loan Do you have your own company and would like to get a stock equity loan for EB-5 investment immigration?
Hello, I'm Vaughan de Kirby. And again today we're gonna talk about source of funds. Many of our clients, they acquire the funds they're going to use in EB-5 by starting and operating their own or relatively small businesses. They have stock in these businesses and they want to get an equity loan based on this stock. Now again we're going to give you a list of some of the documents that we believe are necessary and USCIS believes are necessary. But again remember USCIS is going to want to know how you acquired the funds originally to either start this company or acquire the stock originally, so remember that's something you're going to be meeting and discussing with your investment immigration attorney, but let's go over the list now.
For a shareholder equity loan, no. 1 you're going to need the company's business license to establish that this is a legitimate company. Again to legitimize the company, we're going to want the company's tax registration certificate. The Articles of Association, or Articles of Incorporation. The company's financial reports for the last five years. Remember you must show this company has sufficient assets to make this loan to you, and the finical reports are absolutely necessary. The company's registration change records, if this applies to your case. A resolution of the shareholders, a meeting that authorizes the issue to you of the particular loan. A loan contract signed between you and the company, as the investor. A bank transaction receipt showing the loan was wired to you, as the investor's account from the company's account. And then we'll need you, as the investor, your bank statement evidencing receipt of the loan proceeds.
As in all source of funds, this is complex. This is something you're gonna want to discuss in detail with your investment immigration attorney. But maybe you're ahead of the game, because you understand how you might be able to prove this particular source of funds. I hope this was helpful.
Please feel free to contact us or call 415-221-3500 if you have any questions.
