Ohio State Clinches Big Ten Championship Game Berth As Conference Votes to Eliminate Six-Game Requirement

Ohio State clinched its berth in the Big Ten Championship Game on Wednesday.
The Big Ten officially erased the six-game requirement to be eligible for this year's conference championship game, clearing the path for Ohio State to represent the Big Ten East next week in Indianapolis even though the Buckeyes have played only five games.
"The decision was based on a competitive analysis which determined that Ohio State would have advanced to the Big Ten Football Championship Game based on its undefeated record and head-to-head victory over Indiana regardless of a win or loss against Michigan," the Big Ten said in a statement.
Ryan Day expressed his appreciation for the Big Ten's decision in a statement on Wednesday evening.
"On behalf of Ohio State University, the players, all those associated with the football program and our fans, I am appreciative of our Big Ten Conference colleagues for reconsidering the six-game requirement to qualify for the Big Ten championship game," Day said. "A lot of changes have happened since that recommendation was put in place. I know making this decision was not easy, and I am thankful for the opportunity our players will now have to play in Indianapolis as an undefeated East Division champion."
On behalf of our university, the players, fans and all those associated with @OhioStateFB, I am thankful for the opportunity our student-athletes will now have to play in the Big Ten championship game as an undefeated East Division champion. #GoBuckeyes

Because Ohio State is undefeated and already has a head-to-head win over one-loss Indiana, and every other team in the Big Ten East has lost at least two games, the Buckeyes will represent the East division in the conference title game for the fourth year in a row even if they don't play this weekend or lose to a yet-to-be-scheduled opponent.
Northwestern has already clinched the West division's berth in the Big Ten Championship Game, setting up a rematch of the 2018 Big Ten Championship Game, which Ohio State won 45-24.
In a change from previous years, when the game has been played in primetime, next weekend's Big Ten Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is scheduled to kick off at noon.
Wednesday's decision to remove the six-game minimum for the Big Ten Championship Game comes just one day after Ohio State's game against Michigan was canceled, leaving the Buckeyes without a sixth regular season game. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, there was still no word on Ohio State lining up a replacement game for this weekend; if it doesn't, it would have an unexpected off weekend for the third time in five weeks.
That would have made the Buckeyes ineligible for the Big Ten Championship Game, depriving them of the opportunity to win their fourth straight conference title even though they are the conference's only undefeated team – and even though they would have made the Big Ten Championship Game even if they lost to Michigan this weekend. Indiana, with a 6-1 record, would have represented the Big Ten East even though it lost to Ohio State.
As the Big Ten's only remaining College Football Playoff contender, though, Ohio State has more to gain by playing in the conference championship game than anyone else. Had the Buckeyes been left out, the conference championship game would have been without the team widely considered to be conference's best, all the while punishing Ohio State for failing to meet an arbitrary benchmark – albeit one that had been in place all season – while being the only team in the conference to have two separate games canceled by its opponents.
One additional possible incentive for Wednesday's rule change: Indiana has currently paused all team activities due to an increase of COVID-19 cases in its program. Had the Hoosiers been unable to play next week, the only other eligible teams to represent the East in the Big Ten Championship Game would have been four teams that currently have losing records (Michigan State, Michigan, Rutgers and Penn State).
Indiana athletic director Scott Dolson said in a statement Wednesday that while Indiana was "disappointed" in the Big Ten's decision, "we had a chance to earn our spot in the Big Ten Championship Game, but ultimately fell a touchdown short on the road against a great Ohio State team."

Illinois set to become first state to eliminate cash bail under sweeping criminal justice reform law
Ben Szalinski
State Journal-Register
Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker this week signed into law a sweeping overhaul of policing and criminal justice that eliminates the cash bail system, requires police agencies to equip officers with body cameras and strictly defines use-of-force rules for law enforcement.
"In this terrible year and in the middle of a brutal viral pandemic that hurt Black people and brown people disproportionately, these lawmakers fought to address the pandemic of systemic racism," Pritzker said during a ceremony Monday.
Pritzker was joined by supporters of the new law, which lawmakers introduced and passed with just hours left in the January lame-duck legislative session. It received fierce opposition from some law enforcement groups.
"We are going from protest to progress," said state Rep. Justin Slaughter, D-Chicago, who guided the legislation through the House.
One of the key parts of the bill ends cash bail by 2023, setting up Illinois to become the first U.S. state to do so. Other states, including New Jersey and New York, have limited the use of cash bail but not eliminated it entirely.
Pritzker previously said cash bail "disproportionately forces low-income people of color into a destructive cycle of unearned detention and instability."
Instead of requiring suspects to post a monetary fee to be released from jail, judges will use a risk assessment system to determine a subject's fitness for release.
On the law enforcement front, all Illinois police officers will be required to be equipped with body cameras by 2025. Departments do not risk losing funding if they fail to meet the deadline, but many smaller departments have raised concerns about being able to afford the unfunded mandate.
Suspects in police custody also have new rights, including being allowed to make three phone calls prior to questioning.

The law also issues new guidelines on training for police and how they use force, ends suspending a driver's license if a person cannot pay a penalty, creates a process for decertifying police officers and addresses prison reform.
"What is now in state law will enhance what I began in the city of Springfield," said new state Sen. Doris Turner, D-Springfield, who worked with Springfield police while on the city council on use-of-force and training issues.
Turner said the law makes Illinois a leader in police reform.
More:Emotions high during Illinois lawmakers' votes on Black caucus' criminal justice reforms
Despite opposition, the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois argued most people in Illinois actually support the legislation. Polling by the ACLU last year found 91% of Illinois voters support police accountability legislation.
"It is not accurate to suggest this is anything other than a much-needed package of policy solutions that have been called for by advocates and community members, legislation filed by many members of the General Assembly, including members of the Black Caucus over the years," said Khadine Bennett, director of advocacy and intergovernmental affairs for the ACLU of Illinois.
"When you demand change, sometimes it's not the most popular, but it's the most right," said state Sen. Robert Peters, D-Chicago.
"It's time to look at criminal justice policy through an equity lens," said Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton.
Sheriffs and police organizations around the state have voiced opposition to the law and have said it will make it harder for police to keep communities safe.
"It's clear the sponsors of the bill and the governor have never worked in law enforcement," said Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell. "It appears in some of the wording in the bill the sponsors had no idea what they were doing. We will all pay for that inexperience."
James Black, president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, said the organization has never been opposed to positive police reform measures or police modernization.
Republicans had asked Pritzker to veto the bill. House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, said Pritzker's decision to sign the bill "is an insult to our first responders, law enforcement and the law-abiding citizens of Illinois" and that Pritzker "does not understand" the bill.
"It is especially troubling that the governor signed the bill in Chicago, because it is the poster child for what can go wrong with poorly designed criminal justice reforms," said state Sen. Steve McClure, R-Springfield, a former prosecutor who cited increasing crime rates in Chicago and Illinois last year.

The governor said he was confident in the new law.
"This is going to make police safer and going to make the public safer," Pritzker said.

A low-profile antenna put in touring surface for RFID-enabled vehicle communication is presented. The antenna during this application operates as on-road sensor for vehicles identification. To that end, the antenna is needed to possess an elevated toroid-formed radiation, so that the reader can simply interrogate an RFID-enabled vehicle license. The antenna is intended using a capacitive-loaded inverted-F radiator, which has an omnidirectional radiation within the azimuth plane. To alter the radiation pattern to the desired elevation higher than the road surface, and isolate the radiation from the results of variable road conditions, a corrugated ground plane with perturbed surface impedance is employed underneath the radiator. The antenna's configuration is verified by full-wave finite distinction time domain simulations with numerous road surface conditions. A prototype antenna is then developed and tested in realistic field eventualities as on-road sensor for vehicles identification. The results show that the antenna possess additional than 15 dB return loss, a lot of than 1.five dBi gain, vertical polarization, and fascinating radiation pattern from 880 to 960 MHz, which is the standard band licensed for RFID-enabled plates. The antenna conjointly successfully communicates with an RFID-enabled vehicle registration plate.

This is a manuscript map of Shropshire, one of four in the same style and hand. Its most interesting feature is the castle shown at Clun, which dominates the town. Other topographical features are limited to hills and trees, giving a general impression of the relief of the land and its coverage. It forms part of an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I's Secretary of State. Burghley used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. Here Lord Burghley has added a place name adjacent the river, near to Lent Warden. Burghley was primarily interested in communication routes, an essential feature in any defence program for an area. Rivers were the most important of these communication routes as travel by water was often the fastest. Therefore a good knowledge of the locations along a particular river was essential for navigation and ultimately for the defence of the area. William Cecil, Lord Burghley
DENBIGH AC FLINT Sheet 37
This map of Denbigh and Flint is from the 1583 edition of the Saxton atlas of England and Wales.This atlas was first published as a whole in 1579. It consists of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750. During the reign of Elizabeth I map use became more common, with many government matters referring to increasingly accurate maps with consistent scales and symbols, made possible by advances in surveying techniques. Illustrating the increasing used of maps in government matters, Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I's Secretary of State, who had been determined to have England and Wales mapped in detail from the 1550s, selected the cartographer Christopher Saxton to produce a detailed and consistent survey of the country. The financier of the project was Thomas Seckford Master of Requests at the Court of Elizabeth I, whose arms appear, along with the royal crest, on each map. Saxton, Christopher Ryther, Augustine

DENBIGH AC FLINT f.115
This is a map of Denbigh and Flint by Christopher Saxton dating from 1577. It forms part of an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I's Secretary of State. Burghley used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. This map is actually a proof copy of one which forms part of Christopher Saxton's Atlas of England and Wales. This atlas was first published as a whole in 1579. It consists of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750.

The financier of the project was Thomas Seckford, Master of Requests at the Court of Elizabeth I, whose arms appear, along with the royal crest, on each map. Burghley has annotated this map, adding place names to the map and notes about the shire towns of Denbigh in the margins. At the time England was under threat of invasion from Catholic Spain, a threat which culminated in the events of the Spanish Armada. Defence of the realm depended on a good geographic and topographic knowledge, explaining Burghley's use of maps and his annotation of them, particularly at locations along the coast. The map was engraved by Remigius Hogenbergius, one of a team of seven English and Flemish engravers employed to produce the copper plates for the atlas.

Montgomeria comitatus et comitatus Mervinia
Comitatus Palatinus Cestriae
This is a map of Cheshire by William Smith. It dates from 1585. William Smith was Rouge Dragon at the College of Heralds/College of Arms, an institution that specialised in genealogical work, increasingly more so during the Elizabethan age as the gentry class rose in importance. The Rouge Dragon is the name of one of the Pursuivants, a heraldic officer attendant on the heralds, often attached to a particular nobleman, named so because of their badges. The prominent coat of arms on this plan reveals Smiths heraldic interests. In 1588 Smith completed "The Particuler Description of England. With the portratures of certaine of the cheiffest citties & townes". This work consisted of drawings of English cities and towns in a traditional bird's eye view style, drawings amalgamating bird's eye and plan. In the years 1602-03, William Smith anonymously published maps of Chester, Essex, Hertfordshire Lancashire, Leicester, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. These were probably engraved in Amsterdam and were intended to form sheets of a new atlas. After the publication of Saxton's county maps in the 1570s, cartographers attempted to improve on Saxton's atlas and replicate its success. Unfortunately for Smith, another cartographer, John Speed, was also preparing county maps at this time and competition proved too great, Speed being the victor. Smith, William

Harris: Picks 'on me'
His coach absolved him of blame for two of his four interceptions, but University of Miami quarterback Jacory Harris nonetheless took the hit for all of them.
"I put all of them on me," he said after a 36-24 loss to Ohio State. "I'm the quarterback of this team. I deserve to take all the blame. I'm a leader, so when things go wrong, I take full ownership of it. When things go right, obviously they always give it to the quarterback, so why not take the blame?"
Miami coach Randy Shannon said receivers ran the wrong route on two of the interceptions. He acknowledged that one of them was a blown "sight adjustment" by Travis Benjamin, who never turned around for a ball that sailed past him and was picked off by Chimdi Chekwa.
Shannon indicated that it was only partly Benjamin's fault.
"If the receiver runs the wrong route, just throw it out of bounds; don't deliver it," Shannon said.
"Those are things (where) he has to continue to grow. I think he will grow from this game because he did things today that aren't usually Jacory. He stood in the pocket and, if stuff wasn't there, he took off and ran. That wasn't the typical Jacory from last year, (when) he would sit back and try to force things. I saw him show progress in understanding those things."
Harris completed 22 of 39 passes for 232 yards and one touchdown despite fighting leg cramps during the second half. He also gained 26 yards on three rushing attempts, but two sacks lowered his net total to 8 yards.
"Jacory laid it on the line," running back Damien Berry said. "He fought through it. That's a true warrior."
Harris said he felt coming into the game like he could have a big day.
"I felt ready," he said. But "feeling good doesn't always end up good."

Cierra with Genghis. I'm not sure if her maternal instinct is showing him a kindness or if she's trying to smother him.
Old Obi was here for a short visit.
Jager, Zane, Cierra and Genghis in the background.
The pack waiting for permission to come in.


I am excited to bring you my first blog contributor! Robin Reetz is a freelance writer (writing for Refinery 29, Teen Vogue + much more!) and the woman behind one of my favorite blogs Second Floor Flat. On her semi-regular column Robin will be sharing her life as a freelance writer, and providing great tips for writing and digital communication. So without further ado - here is Robin's first post!
Aside from abstract artist, there's maybe no other job that so many people think they can do than that of a writer. This is something I can say because I've been working as a writer and digital journalist for about two years.
Because of the assumption that writing is an easy gig – nice work if you can get it – I dread telling people what I do for a living. In my experience, when you first tell someone that you write for a living – particularly on a freelance level – they tend to assume that you're unemployed, beyond poor, or even lying. At least that's how it feels.
Take it from me – working as a freelance writer and digital journalist isn't about scribbling your thoughts and musings into leather notebooks in European cafés – though I have done that. Instead it means working on multiple projects and putting your skills to use in a variety of ways. Just like a designer's job is much more than seeking inspiration and landing branding projects with dream clients, the same goes for a writer.
Though I worked in magazines previously, my career as a freelancer began two and a half years ago. The decision to go freelance was something I fell into after I moved to London from New York and fell into contract work, which turned into freelancing. Since then, I've made my living as a freelance journalist in a few different ways.
For anyone out there who's looking to get into freelance writing or journalism, I'm going to give it to you straight up: you're not going to make any money. Depending on your contract or agreement and the type of work you're doing, many of the major, glossy magazines you might die to contribute to will not pay you enough to live off of. Unless you're a staffed contributor, you will not earn enough money to support yourself.
But you can certainly make a living from your talents. Though I call myself a freelance journalist because it's the quickest thing to say, I do much more than that on a daily basis. Aside from contributing fun, fashion pieces and market round-ups to places like Teen Vogue and Refinery29, I also interview and write profiles on artists and designers for DesignGood. As a team at DesignGood, we contribute monthly columns to places like Conscious Magazine and GFDA. In addition to that, I share a lot of my personal writing through my blog. I also do freelance copywriting work and social media management – both jobs that benefit from or require the skills of a writer.
Writer is a vague term and I hesitate every time I brand myself as one. It rolls off the tongue much easier than Journalist/Content Manager/Copywriter/Social Media Manager, but the reality is that in today's world, that's a taste of what you might be doing. Personally, I like being able to use my voice on a variety of platforms in a variety of ways – from personal essays to marketing copy to social media – and I find it helps to keep my skills limber.
Not to mention that it makes up for all of those hard days spent in European cafés – but that's just the life of a freelance writer.
I'm Robin – a freelance digital journalist with about seven years working in media. My primary experience lies in fashion, lifestyle and design writing, and I've worked at places like Teen Vogue and Refinery29. In addition to my work, I also write about the independent fashion community (which I love) and chronicle my experiences as an expat on my blog.
I've worked in many sides of the industry – from magazines to agencies to e-commerce. I'll be sharing what I've learned about writing and digital communication both from my professional experience, and from the experience I've gained as a blogger.

Dr. Sarah Wollaston MP's 7 thoughts on austerity
By rob hopkins 22nd November 2013
Sarah Wollaston, Conservative Member of Parliament for Totnes, is not your everyday Tory MP. She was the first MP to be chosen as a candidate through a US-style open primary. She was recently one of 15 joint winners of The Spectator's Parliamentarians of the Year Award for going "through the 'no' lobby to prove that our ancient tradition of press freedom is not abolished without a fight". She spoke more sense about the proposed intervention in Syria than anyone else on both sides of the debate. She writes regularly for the Guardian. She's also a great supporter of Transition. I caught up with her recently and heard her 7 thoughts on austerity, why it's happening and how we might respond to it.
1. We have no choice but austerity
She told me:
"If you look at the figures on debt and it's 85% of our GNP, what does that mean? Does it mean that you can just keep on pretending that you can carry on increasing government spending above what a government's earning? Inevitably that leads you to the situation where Greece is. Do I feel that something had to be done about that? I'm afraid I do. I think it was inevitable that that had to happen.
You can therefore either increase taxation, you can shrink what government spends, or you can try and get a balance between the two. I think, unfortunately, we do need to shrink our spend. I'm afraid I do think those decisions had to be made. Undoubtedly it's impacting people's lives, it's very painful".
2. It's not helpful to blame or stigmatise those on the receiving end of it
She has been outspoken against what she has called the "divisive rhetoric" of 'strivers and skivers' which has emerged from some within her party and elsewhere:
"Just because words rhyme with each other doesn't mean you should use them! I absolutely do not think we should be using any language of that sort, and most people who are not in work absolutely want to be in work. The issue is how do you make it that you are paid more for being in work than being on benefits? How do you make sure that you give people encouragement into work?".
3. People need support and help to get back into work, not punishment
For Wollaston, it is not acceptable to scapegoat those looking for work. In another recent Guardian article about helping those with mental health issues back into work she wrote "Sometimes people need a push to get back into work, but that should not feel like a coercive or punitive shove". She told me:
When you've had a period of depression (she herself has been very public about an episode of post natal depression that she suffered from herself) it can impact catastrophically on your self-confidence, and it can lead you to a position where you feel you really can't go back to work. What you need is the encouragement, because for very many people it's actually getting back into the workplace that helps restore confidence and make people feel better. It's about the social contact that comes with work and employment. I don't think it does anybody any favours to have to have a narrative around this that says that a government is being wicked if they are trying to encourage people back into the workplace. It's a question of whether or not that encouragement feels like a big stick, or whether it feels like it's genuinely supportive and helpful".
4. Outsourcing public services is no bad thing
One of what many people see as the most alarming manifestations of austerity has been the outsourcing by many local authorities of work that was in the public sector and into the private sector. Barnet Council's programme of "mass outsourcing" has been hugely controversial, but what are her thoughts on that approach?
"To say that it's wrong for councils to outsource, I don't agree with that argument. If other people can provide a better service with better value for money, I just see that as being inevitable. If that money could be spent better by bringing in other people I don't have a reflex that it must automatically be wrong.
Clearly it's incredibly painful for those individuals losing their jobs, but the evidence is over this period of austerity that although there's been a great loss of employment in the state sector, there's been a much greater corresponding increase in the private and independent sector.
But is the principle that you can shift people from being employed by the state, or the Council, to being employed in other organisations that can sometimes provide a better service and do things like increase the rate of recycling really so bad? Actually I think that's a very reasonable way to approach austerity.
Having said that, she made clear that for her, it is also a question of making sure that this does not lead to abuse of low-paid workers. She raised the example of Healthcare Assistants, employed on zero hours contracts on a minimum wage, who are not paid for time spent travelling from one person to the next which, in effect, drives them below the minimum wage. She has been part of lobbying for the forthcoming Care Bill to outlaw this practice.
5. Austerity means it is more important that we vote, not less.
In the light of both Russell Brand and Jeremy Paxman announcing that they never vote, I wondered whether being in parliament had strengthened or weakened her belief in the vote? She took a sharp intake of breath, clearly looking forward to getting something off her chest:
"Where do I start? I can see why people are cynical about politics and politicians. There are so many problems with the way politics works today. What I would say is if you take an attitude of "I'm just going to boycott the whole thing, I'm not going to bother", how is it ever going to change? I would say what you need to be doing is not sitting at home taking a negative view. If you're unhappy with it, you need to apply. That's what I did. I'm there.
There are lots of things that deeply frustrate me about the way politics works, about the way patronage operates, about the lack of genuine representation. We haven't got enough women, we haven't got enough people in parliament from a diverse range of backgrounds, we are under-representing people from ethnic minorities, and I think that's desperately important. But you don't solve those issues by not voting. You solve those issues by getting involved politically yourself and campaigning for change. I think it was a deeply worrying thing for Russell Brand to have said, particularly as he's such an influential individual. I'd like to see Russell Brand applying to become an MP".
6. Approaches like Transition have a vital role to play in times of austerity
She has been an enthusiastic supporter of the work of Transition Town Totnes. What, I wondered, were her thoughts on Transition, and its role in times of austerity?
I think it's hugely important, because the thing about austerity is that it's less about what the state is providing for a community, and as that pot of money shrinks, inevitably communities have to fall back on their own resources and look at what they can contribute. What Transition shows is just how important that can be. I look at what's here in Totnes and I compare that to what's available in some other communities, and I just wish that every community had that kind of community resource.
Inevitably people have a downer on what government is doing and to focus on the negative things, but there are some positive opportunities that we should look at and say "what are the opportunities for Transition Town Totnes?" because that's what you're very good at, saying "how could we use that within Transition?".
For Wollaston, the refocusing of austerity creates new spaces for communities to innovate and take back some degree of power. She is very animated about how personal care budgets could be reallocated and used to support a variety of new and existing social enterprises in at the community level. Some of the powers given through the Localism Act have similar potential, such as Community Right to Build Orders. These, and other powers offer the potential of "restoring real power to individuals, that's going to be a real gamechanger", as she put it.
7. We have to tread carefully to maintain public support for renewables in times of austerity
Our conversation then turned to energy. Dr Wollaston discussed the number of people who come to her surgeries raising the issue of "green levies" on energy bills and how unfair they consider them to be. "People who are fuel poor feel like they are subsidising people who are not fuel poor" she told me. "That is a voice we have to listen to". She spoke of how, for her, renewable energy needs to be rolled out with the support of local communities, rather than in the face of opposition:
"Frankly, I am horrified, when you look at the impact on a community like Dipford (a village near Totnes), which suddenly finds itself surrounded by very large scale solar panels, and, if companies get their way, very tightly spaced. It's a question of how we make this work so people accept it and it's done in a sensitive manner, and it doesn't act as an extra levy, a disproportionate levy in fuel poverty. I am not saying that we should scrap environmental levies, I am absolutely not saying that. What I am saying is that the balance at the moment is risking us seeing a collapse in public support for green energy, and I think that's a danger…"
I pointed out that given that the world currently subsidises the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $500bn a year, six times more than is spent to subsidise the renewable energy sector. Much of the hysteria being whipped up around "green taxes" should be seen in the light of how in Germany, the push for renewables is making the big energy companies' business model unravel, and has seen their profit halve. I suggested that lobbying instead for the end of subsidies for fossil fuels might be a better place to start, and that it would be a move towards a genuinely 'level playing field'. We also discussed a different approach to how energy is charged for which will be put forward on this website in January, as part of our theme of 'Scaling Up'.
Some closing thoughts
Time spent with Dr Wollaston is fascinating, especially in the light of our discussions this month on the theme of austerity. She represents very much the "glass is half full" side of the debates around austerity. David Cameron said in his speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet recently:
"We are sticking to the task. But that doesn't just mean making difficult decisions on public spending. It also means something more profound. It means building a leaner, more efficient state. We need to do more with less. Not just now, but permanently."
With the Labour Party stating that if they won the next election they will uphold most of the Coalition's spending cuts, it appears that austerity is here to stay, indeed that it has only just begun. And its impacts have only just begun too. For example, the recently released State of Children's Rights in England report accuses the government of using "economic pressures" to:
"justify not only a serious erosion of children's economic and social rights, such as health, food and the right to play, but also fundamental changes to our justice system."
As people on the ground doing Transition, trying to build resilience in the face of such rapid and deep change, that's our context. Whether its cause is peak oil, or austerity, necessary or unnecessary, as Dr Wollaston says, "inevitably communities have to fall back on their own resources and look at what they can contribute". While there is still much to be gained from trying, where possible, to oppose cuts to public services, Wollaston's message that there is also an opportunity here, an opportunity being seized by companies like Circo but not so much by community-owned social enterprises, is one that resonates with Transition. This also, of course, opens a whole ethical minefield for initiatives, as to whether they are colluding with further cuts or providing a vital safety net for local communities.
From a Transition perspective though, of course, that needs to be done built on foundations of social justice and fairness, with an underpinning narrative about the urgent need to tackle climate change and build resilience to the end of cheap energy, and in a way that builds community resilience, rather than undermining it. None of those appear to be priorities for the current administration, typified in David Cameron's alleged recent "get rid of all the green crap" comments. But certainly talking to Dr Wollaston, you get a sense that there's more support for them than you might previously imagine, in some quarters at least. .

Are you suffering from 'Election Stress Disorder'?
For many of us, the end of the presidential race can't come soon enough. The bitter exchange between the two major candidates is causing a ripple effect, with many heading to psychologists, saying the stress of this election is getting to them.
"There's a lot of fear that's involved in this political process and it's been going on for the better part of the last two years," Dr. Joe Taravella, a licensed clinical psychologist at New York University Langone Medical Center's Rusk Rehabilitation, told FoxNews.com. "This process is invoking a lot of fear, a lot of resentment, a lot of irritability, that's masking a lot of anxiety and powerlessness."
Psychologists have coined the term "Election Stress Disorder." While this type of fatigue is hardly new-- and not even uniquely American-- it can cause trouble if you let it.
"The polarizing figures that we are dealing with… will affect the stress centers of our brain, specifically the limbic system, which is the emotional center. That really affects chemistry [and] physiology," Dr. Pete Sulack, a chiropractor in Knoxville, Tennessee, and founder of StressRx.com, told FoxNews.com.
According to a study, one in four Americans feel less productive at work because of the political discussions happening in the workplace, Taravella said.

Leicester City register their interest in Josip Brekalo
by George Cannon	share
3 minute read	 26/7/2021 | 12:15pm
Leicester City have been linked with a move for Wolfsburg forward Josip Brekalo as Brendan Rodgers plots another assault on the Champions League qualification places.
What's the story?
According to the Sunday Mirror (via Sportslens), the Foxes have "registered an interest" in the highly-rated 23-year-old, who would reportedly cost around £12 million.
Ligue 1 outfit Lyon and Spain's Real Sociedad have also been credited with an interest in Brekalo, but it is understood the player would prefer a move to the Premier League this summer.
Should Leicester sign Josip Brekalo?
He has huge potential
The diminutive winger has established himself as one of the Bundesliga's most exciting prospects in recent years following his arrival from boyhood club Dinamo Zagreb.
His impressive performances have caught the eye of several onlookers throughout his time in German football, including ex-Wolfsburg manager Oliver Glasner.
"I see huge potential in Josip. He continues to show that he wants to be here, and will only get better," said Glasner.
And Brekalo enjoyed his most productive campaign to date in 2020/21, playing a pivotal part as the Wolves finished fourth in the Bundesliga standings, qualifying for Europe's elite cup competition as a result.
In 29 top-flight appearances, the Croatia international bagged seven goals and provided three assists for his teammates, although his underlying numbers are arguably even more striking.
We bet you can't get 100% on this big LCFC 2020/21 season review quiz! Who was Leicester City's top scorer with 19 goals in all competitions last season?
Jamie Vardy
Kelechi Iheanacho
As per WhoScored, Brekalo had 1.6 shots per league game last term, made 1.3 key passes and completed one dribble, placing him in the top four amongst his teammates in all metrics.
Therefore, it's easy to understand why Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly targeting the versatile forward ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Although usually deployed on the wings, Brekalo is equally adept at playing through the middle and would offer cover and competition in a variety of positions.
Both Dennis Praet and Ayoze Perez struggled in their second seasons at the King Power Stadium, while Cengiz Under's loan spell wasn't made permanent following an underwhelming 12-month stint.
It's left Rodgers searching for some attacking reinforcements, and the Wolfsburg ace may just be the perfect solution to the Foxes' problems.

In part one we went over writing test content and scoring criteria. We also took a glance at useful tips for assessing writing answers. In this part, however, the focus is on the measures we should take in preparing candidates for the writing test.
Writing is the most difficult part of most exams to be tackled by students. Or is it? Let's see how we can help our students write better.
IELTS examiners cannot assess your work if your handwriting is illegible. In other words, your handwriting must be clear and readable. This is certainly important in IELTS Writing module, but in IELTS Listening, this leads to the loss of the whole point of the question which is absolutely tragic!
Even the best English students make small and easy-to-avoid mistakes which can still damage even the best pieces of writing; we have all been there. Because of this, here are ten commandments every English learner and IELTS candidate must follow when revising their work.
