string(5651) "Inter-school collaboration and the self-improving systemIs inter-school collaboration (ISC) the new normal?  The current situation in education indicates that we have reached a tipping point.  If we consider the most formalised form of ISC, the formation of a multi-academy trust (MAT), and picture MATs at the tip of an iceberg with various forms of ISC beneath it, then the iceberg is growing at a rapid rate. There were 1,010 MATs in operation in England in 2016 (DfE, 2016a), and this rose to 1,230 in 2017 (DfE, 2017).  Considering that the average MAT consists of two to nine academies (Andrews, 2016), these figures represent a significant number of schools.The Coalition government launched The Importance of Teaching White Paper in 2010 (DfE 2010a), which encouraged schools to academise and form or join MATs.  It also proposed the development of a self-improving school system, with ISC, MATs and Teaching School Alliances at its core. The self-improving school system required schools to find their own local solutions to school improvement challenges, which they would identify through collaborative self-evaluation, with minimal 'hands on' government intervention. The Academies Act 2010 (DfE, 2010b) facilitated this process by granting additional freedoms to schools converting to academy status, which stemmed from their removal from Local Authority (LA) control.Proliferation and challengeISC was encouraged by Coalition and Conservative governments (2010 to present), but was not mandatory unless a school exhibited serious concerns, in which case the Education and Adoption Act (DfE, 2016b), required them to join a MAT.  Therefore, the rapid increase in ISC is largely due to school leaders voluntarily making the choice to collaborate with other schools, and this raises three key questions:What are the reasons for the proliferation in ISC?If there are compelling reasons for ISC, why is every school not fully engaged with it, and what challenges are preventing some schools from committing to it?If challenges to ISC do exist, how can schools overcome them in both current and proposed ISCs?The Research OverviewThe research was based on a dissertation exploring inter-school collaboration, the self-improving school system, and their impact on pupil equity and outcomes, which formed part of an MBA in Educational Leadership. The aim of this aspect of the  research was to attempt to answer the three key questions identified above.  An online questionnaire was emailed to a systemic sample of 128 primary and 108 secondary headteachers selected from 20 Greater London boroughs, and 3 boroughs in the Home Counties.  The Greater London boroughs were selected by repeatedly choosing the fifth name on an alphabetic list, whilst the 3 boroughs in the Home Counties were selected using three points of a triangle drawn over a map of London for geographical coverage.  The headteachers were identified by repeatedly selecting the fifteenth (primary) and the fifth (secondary) school from an alphabetic list of schools in each borough, to ensure full coverage of each list. In anticipation of a low response rate to the systemic sample, the online questionnaire was also emailed to a convenience sample of 15 primary and 10 secondary senior leaders, including headteachers.  These potential respondents were encouraged to forward the questionnaire on to other school leaders via a snowballing sample technique, in an attempt to increase the response rate.  Completed questionnaires were received from 16 primary and 7 secondary respondents from both the convenience and snowballing samples.  No completed questionnaires were received from the systemic sample.The online questionnaire consisted of 26 questions and statements: 20 statements were followed by Likert Scale options ranging from 'Strongly Agree' to 'Strongly Disagree', and 6 questions allowed school leaders to write free-text responses.  The questions and statements focused on the key reasons for ISC, the types of activities school leaders would consider collaborating on, and the key challenges to ISC.  However, before we discuss the outcomes of the above research, it is important to explore what we mean by ISC.What Do We Mean by Inter-School Collaboration?The collaboration heritageInter-school collaboration is not a new phenomenon, as historically schools have collaborated in different ways, for example, as part of national initiatives (Armstrong 2015) such as Beacon schools (1998), Specialist Schools (1997) and City Challenges (2008).Despite the lack of evidence to support ISC improving outcomes for pupils, except marginally in top-down or hierarchical collaborations (Armstrong, 2015), the Coalition and Conservative governments (2010 to present) strongly encouraged schools to academise and collaborate, favouring MATs and Teaching School Alliances as their main vehicles.  As a result of this, more actors and diverse collaborative arrangements now exist between schools.  In the above research, ISC was defined in its broadest sense to encompass the spectrum of school collaboration, from ad hoc collaboration to; sharing expertise and staff development, joint professional development, hierarchical school improvement, clusters of schools working together, to schools being fully federated into a MAT.  A continuum of collaborationThe various forms of ISC can be organised on a continuum.  Collaboration by 'association' (Chapman, 2015), can occur through LA activities or close school"

string(5321) "Tweet If anyone is in doubt about the legitimacy of looking at Gove's impact on education policy now that a new year has arrived, then recent editorials in The Times should convince them of his long-term influence. 'Gove's reform of the GCSE exams must be carried through!' they cried, linking his policy to Margaret Thatcher's hatred of the exam, as recently revealed in cabinet papers released under the 30- year rule.At first sight, these reforms might seem relatively innocuous – more emphasis on fact rather than process, more academic 'rigour' than applied skills, more 'sit down and remember' exams rather than coursework, more restrictions on re-sits – but it shows a direction of policy travel that is pushing our system in the opposite direction to our competitors. In the USA , China and Singapore, they have recognised that their economies require a move towards more creative and collaborative thinking, towards dispositions of learning that can function in any domain rather than more subject specific information, and towards continual informal learning rather than formal learning and assessment procedures. Having any sort of educational rational for his reforms was never one of Gove's strong points, but since the National Curriculum reforms only apply to little more than half the nation's schools, because Gove has allowed Academies to opt out, it's hard not to see his National Curriculum as much more than a punishment regime for schools that don't take Academy status. Yet another way in which he has undermined his own policies. Rather than competing successfully with the US and the East to create a powerful intellectual elite, his department has ironically been much more successful in responding to the impact of their economies, and of globalisation generally, on our society – by helping, to some degree, the children of our now permanent and growing underclass. The two stand-out policy successes of Gove's period were the Pupil Premium and the apprenticeship programme. The first is providing extra money for 30 per cent of all children – slightly more than the 25 per cent of children on free school meals. This was a commitment for all the main political parties in their election manifestos, but the Liberals made it a point of principle for their joining the coalition and so a large amount of money has been made available.The Pupil Premium has been important in addressing the inbuilt disadvantages of children coming from socially deprived communities and has been used for additional SEN provision or 'closing the gap' initiatives. But it has been the baby of Lib Dem minster David Laws rather than Gove, and was fortified by the coalition agreement, making it untouchable.The second great success has been apprenticeships. They are being widely taken up by children who are not going to get great academic grades at A-level, or potential graduates who don't want to wait three years to start earning or are afraid to rack up huge debts. This latter group has given the scheme huge credibility amongst employers and this, in turn, has dragged up many school failures into the near reaches of employability. It has also, for the first time in a long while, obliged employers to make a reasonable but bearable contribution towards apprenticeship training. But this scheme cannot really be claimed as a Govian initiative – it originated within the Department for Trade and Industry, and the transition to education was not altogether happy, as two of the officers who did most to develop apprenticeships have experienced significant demotions within the DfE.Gove has provided some stings in the tail for both policies, good though they are. The academic ground keeps shifting for the Pupil Premium earners – the more the gap is closed for them, the more it yawns wider as academic requirements for GCSE and A-levels are yanked higher and higher. The DfE is also going ahead and introducing one of Gove's most loathsome policies – putting each child into a hierarchy of performance percentiles – so that children outside the top 20 per cent will know their place and those in the bottom 40 per cent will know they are well below average and a long way below the academic best. Children struggling to overcome disadvantages of one kind or another will be disheartened by this, and it will counter much of the good work achieved by the Pupil Premium spend. As for apprenticeships, the scheme's success is being used to help cut provision for adults and the mentally ill, who are being told their special bespoke schemes are being folded in favour of apprenticeship type programmes – although finding employers for this group is not any sort of given.Overall, the Gove years have been profoundly destructive and obstructive. Even within the terms of Gove's own policy objectives, they failed, curiously undermined by their creator's determination to sacrifice everything to destroy local government's involvement in education. The tragedy is that their effects will linger on because they have played to the country's deepest reactionary ideas about education, in an era when reaction and social inequality are in the ascendency.

Fundamentally, it asks whether the English education system is self-improving and analyses those elements that facilitate or impede this intention."
string(5683) "The four-year study evaluated the government's 'self-improving school-led system' (SISS), which has become an overarching narrative for education policy since 2010, making schools more autonomous and accountable for their own improvement. The reforms have included an expansion in the number of academies and the development of Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), the roll back of Local Authorities (LAs) from school oversight, and the development of new school-to-school support models, such as Teaching School Alliances (TSAs). The report asks whether our multi-faceted middle tier is working, and whether the autonomy, accountability, competition and collaboration that policy-makers have sought to promote is generating the desired system improvement. The researchers found that despite the government's claims to be moving control to the frontline and giving schools more autonomy, the reality is very different. Schools are more tightly regulated than ever, facing pressure to get good exam results and Ofsted grades or face being taken over by a MAT. Many schools have felt the need to narrow their curriculum and focus relentlessly on test outcomes in response. The government has encouraged schools to collaborate with each other to share expertise and to support schools that are struggling. But the competitive pressures in the system have made this challenging, with schools also incentivised to prioritise their own interests in order to attract pupils and funding. The research also found that the school system has become less equitable since 2010, with higher-performing schools admitting relatively fewer disadvantaged pupils. Main Findings: Any increase in operational autonomy for schools is more than balanced out by changes to the accountability framework, which have allowed the state to continue to steer the system from a distance and to increasingly intervene and coerce when and where it deems necessary. Schools report a constant need to focus on national exam results and to prepare for the possibility of an Ofsted inspection. Many argue that this now demands greater consistency and self-policing. 60 per cent of survey respondents working in academies agreed that academisation had had at least some positive benefits, 69 per cent of respondents working in maintained schools reported there were no benefits to becoming an academy, especially when weighed against the additional responsibilities. The threat of forced academisation had created a sense of fear that if their performance were to drop they would be 'taken over' by a MAT, which would impose standardised systems and a narrow curriculum. Some schools were choosing to form or join 'local MATs' to pre-empt external take over. With academisation, powers of school oversight are moving from local to national government. This process has been uneven and often fraught. There are sharp differences between national and local government over how policy changes should be enacted locally, particularly where LAs have resisted academisation. There are differences between different parts of national government around aspects of strategy and attempts to 'implement' policy. The picture that emerges is of chaotic centralisation, characterised by competing claims to authority and legitimacy but diminishing local knowledge about schools. Due to funding cuts, a common trend was for LAs to become part of a more commercial middle tier. However, LAs also sought to sustain oversight of maintained schools and to retain influence in order to co-ordinate school improvement services and support. As support from LAs has reduced, schools have had to become more proactive in identifying and addressing their own improvement priorities. 'Local clusters' of schools were reported as the most common source of external support for schools. This was true for secondary as well as primary schools. School 'system leaders' often faced conflicting and unreasonable demands from central government while being perceived by their peers to be an increasingly 'co-opted elite', working as part of the managerial state and accruing a range of personal and organisational benefits as a result. The SISS agenda contains policies that simultaneously seek to make schools more responsive to parental choice, more diverse and more entrepreneurial. The majority of headteachers perceived that their school faced local pressures to compete for students, staff and/or status. There was broad recognition that schools are organised by choice and competition into local status hierarchies. Improving a school's Ofsted grade was the most immediate strategy for improving its reputation and position in the local status hierarchy.Importantly, school status was rarely as simple as 'school quality'. Wider factors such as the school's context, history and student intake all combined to position it relative to others. Schools that sustained or improved their Ofsted judgement to Outstanding in the 2010–15 period saw, on average, a reduction in the percentage of students eligible for free school meals (FSM), while schools retaining or being downgraded to a Requires Improvement and Inadequate judgement saw, on average, an increase in FSM eligibility. There was a consistent view that the SISS agenda is furthering the creation of 'winners and losers'. While higher-status schools were seen to be benefiting in terms of new opportunities and resources as a result of policy reform, the lower-status"

Jebsen Building Products (Jebsen) has unveiled French fashion bathroom brand Jacob Delafon's first showroom in Hong Kong via a new partnership with Kohler, purveyor ofexceptional home kitchen and bathroom products and brand owner of Jacob Delafon.
The showroom, housed in Jebsen's Lee Garden Two corporate headquarters in Causeway Bay, offers an inspirational and immersive opportunity for architects, designers, contractors, and project owners of residential developments to experience how Jacob Delafon's French heritage, craftsmanship, elegance, and luxury translates into premium bathroom collections for the home.
"Jacob Delafon is a strong addition to our Building Products portfolio, which is an essential component of the one-stop solutions that we provide to the architecture and design community. As more homeowners regard bathrooms as a personal sanctuary, we have found that our clients in the building and construction industry are also paying closer attention to the quality, style, and value of bathroom fittings and sanitaryware. We are delighted to offer them a wider range of choices, including Jacob Delafon's impeccable design and quality, as we continue to help them create high-quality spaces for people to live, work, and play," said Mr. Helmulth Hennig, Group Managing Director, Jebsen & Co. Ltd.
The new partnership between Jebsen and Kohler brings together three time-tested companies with a combined heritage of almost 400 years — Jebsen was founded in 1895, Kohler in 1873, and Jacob Delafon in 1889. The latter was acquired by Kohler in 1986.
"We believe that Jebsen is a perfect fit with the Jacob Delafon brand because they share many commonalities that extends far beyond their long European heritage. They both value elegance and authenticity, are passionate about beauty, innovation and technology, and are keenly interested in architecture, design, and the use of premium materials. Such brand alignment gives us confidence that this partnership will create valuable synergies," said Mr. Larry Yuen, Group President – Kitchen & Bath, Kohler Co.
The partnership awards Jacob Delafon's distribution rights in Hong Kong and Macau to Jebsen. This is expected to strengthen Jebsen's services to Hong Kong's high-end residential sector, even as it continues to serve the commercial, education, government, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, and recreational sectors across Greater China. In turn, Jebsen will invest in growing Jacob Delafon's brand equity in Hong Kong and establishing it as a premium brand of choice for sophisticated homes.

Wailea, and the smaller Makena to the south, are resort areas on the south side of Maui, Hawaii, immediately south of the town of Kihei. They are known for their luxury resort hotels and condos, upscale restaurants, fancy shopping center and expensive golf courses. And although hidden behind the hotels and condos now, the beaches that attracted the developers in the first place are still there in all their golden sand beauty.
From Maui's main airport in Kahului, follow the signs to Kihei and Wailea via Highway 311 (Mokulele Highway). Highway 311 becomes Highway 31 (Pi'ilani Highway) in Kihei and it ends in Wailea, where it becomes Wailea Ike Drive. Driving time from the airport to Wailea is about 30 minutes.

Wailea/Makena is almost as far as you can go south, but there are a couple of good spots to go to for snorkeling and hiking before the road ends for good.
Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Reserve, S Makena Rd (about 1.5 mi/2.4 km S of the Maui Prince Hotel). An offshore reserve with good snorkeling and sea turtles sometimes. There is a rocky parking area on the right shortly after entering the reserve.
La Perouse Bay, S Makena Rd (about 3 mi/5 km S of the Maui Prince Hotel). The end of the road where the lava from Maui's last eruption flowed into the sea. There are some stables near the parking lot and a rocky beach, although it isn't recommended for swimming. There are also a couple of hiking trails, including the Hoapili Trail which winds its way along the coast through some shade and then strikes inland over the lava fields to Kanaio Beach some 2 - 2.5 miles away. The coastal parts are quite pretty but the section through the lava can be long and warm.
Heading north up Highway 31 will bring you to the main part of Maui, which is all accessible within a day's drive.

Q: How to reset elements to their original state, after a chain of manipulations? After a bunch of animating, adding classes and setting css styles. is there an easy way to reset an element to be back in its original server delivered state?

A: jQuery sets its manipulations using the inline style attribute, so just set that to ''.
$('#someDiv').attr('style','');

This assumes there were no inline style attributes set on the element coming from the server. Better to use style sheets if so.
If the element must come from the server with style attributes set, then I suppose you could cache the value in a variable, and reset it when needed.
   // Cache original attributes
var originalAttributes = $('#someDiv').attr('style');

   // Reset from original
$('#someDiv').attr('style',originalAttributes);

EDIT:
If needed, you could send your elements from the server with custom attributes to remember the original class attribute, for example.

...

Then you can reference the original anytime you need.
You could even find all elements that have the originalClass attribute like this.
var $elementsWithOriginal = $('[originalClass]');

or find elements where the class attribute has been modified from the original.
var $modifiedFromOriginal = $('[originalClass]').filter(function() {
        return $(this).attr('class') != $(this).attr('originalClass');
    });

Latest Fugard Drama Proves Disappointing
By Frank Scheck Special to The Christian Science Monitor
PLAYLAND. Drama written and directed by Athol Fugard. At the Manhattan Theatre Club through July 11.
ATHOL FUGARD'S new work, now running Off Broadway, opens with the image of a large black man working on a decrepit-looking bumper car. The setting is a small traveling amusement park that has set down on the outskirts of a South African town. The park is called "Playland," but it might as well be named "Metaphor."
Perhaps the estimable South African dramatist should refrain from directing his own work. Or maybe he should try to stretch his formidable talent by tackling a subject outside of his usual concerns.
This extended one act has a lifeless, didactic quality that reminds us too often that we are in the theater to receive a message. Although small in scale, like most of his other works, it doesn't resonate with the specificity of incident that make other plays of his like "Master Harold ... and the Boys" so compelling.
"Playland" depicts a late New Year's Eve encounter between two men: Martinus Zoeloe (pronounced "zulu"), who works as a maintenance man for the amusement park, and Gideon Le Roux, a slightly drunk white man who wanders in trying to be friendly but whose hostility soon rises to the surface. During the course of their drawn-out conversation, we learn that both men suffer from guilt because of slayings they have committed.
Martinus killed the white man who raped his fiancee, and Gideon, a former Army officer, is responsible for the deaths of dozens of blacks in a massacre.
As the two circle warily around each other, coming nearly to blows but eventually to a form of mutual understanding, we are too greatly aware that they have been created to express the points that the playwright wants to make.
To its credit, the production has the services of two compelling actors: Frankie R. Faison as Martinus and Kevin Spacey as Gideon.
Faison, a lumbering bear of a man, is slow-moving and deliberate, but we can see the tortured agonies that can lead his character to violence. When Martinus is provoked nearly to blows by Gideon and must struggle to contain himself, we are vividly aware of the effort. Spacey, who has grown from one of our most exciting young actors into simply one of our most exciting actors, uses his volatile presence to make Gideon seem truly threatening from his first moment on the stage. But he also lets us see the p ain underneath.
Playwright Fugard has created two compelling characters in these men from the opposite social strata of South Africa struggling to find some sort of redemption. But in terms of knowing what to do with them, he seems as lost as they are.

Before 1975, Dan Issel and the Kentucky Colonels went together "like the Horse and Carriage, bread and butter, salt and pepper." But in October 1975, the Colonels sold Issel to the Baltimore Claws for $500,000. A few weeks later, the disorganized Claws traded Issel to Denver, where he played for nine straight years. How did Issel react to all of this upheaval at the time? Read "Issel and the Nuggets" by Dan Pattison.

Last year in my Sports Medicine class we had a guest speaker from JTED. She came, introduced herself, and the program. I knew what JTED was because my older sister had done it, but I didn't think JTED would have anything that I was interested in. But still when she asked who wanted a packet, I said well I guess. I got home from school and showed my mom. As we went through the packet together, both of us looked at each other when we turned to a page that said Veterinary Science. It was a two-year program that would give you elective credits and by the time you graduated the program, your became a certified Veterinary Assistant. I love animals and it took me less than a second to be convinced I was joining that program.
I followed the instructions on the packet on how to register. I went to the web page, completed the registration, received an email informing me my application had been accepted and now I had to wait for a letter in the mail. If I got in I would receive a congratulations letter along with a supplies list. I waited for what felt like forever and finally it came, I had been accepted! Of course the next day I made my mom come with me to the store and help me pick out all my stuff.
The first day of JTED was August 3rd, that was also the first day of my Junior year. Thus became the first longest day of my life. School was long and then I had to go to JTED, which was what I was really excited about. After school I drove to JTED and began my first day. It was mainly policies and procedures. Ever since then, we came a long way. We had a behavior unit which showed us how to identify a dog's behavior based on body cues. Later on, we moved on to restraint and handling. Then hazards we could find around our clinic or around a Veterinary hospital.
Mainly we will be working with dogs and cats, just because it's easier for us to be able to work with them. However, they have promised us to bring special guest speakers. We have already taken a field trip to The Humane Society, and will soon be going to TRAK, a facility for therapeutic riding. We've also had a chance to handle sheep. Even though we will mainly see dogs and cats, they do try their best to get us experience with as many animals as possible. Our campus is located at the Amphi Land Lab where students take care of their farm animals. Even though they aren't ours, they have invited us to the back where they are all kept. They have many pigs (two actually pregnant), cows, sheep, a steer, and a buck.
Overall, the program has been great. We learn so much and get many opportunities for practice. Our teacher told us that at every clinic practice day, we will have some sort of failure, but it's what we learn from it that counts. Yes, a lot of the time is taking notes and not work with animals every day, but all of the stuff you learn is so new and exciting. I would definitely recommend this to someone who loves animals and is planning on majoring in Veterinary Science.
There are several things I feel I wished I knew before joining JTED. When I first signed up, they offered classes at two different locations. A Tanque Verde campus and at the Amphi Land Lab. I had picked the Tanque Verde campus classes because they were closer to school. At one point throughout the summer, they called me and said they didn't have a teacher for that campus so they were calling all students to see if they still wanted to do the program. I had already looked up both locations before signing up so I knew where it was and said yes. However I didn't think about the distance. School ends at 3:15 on the days I go to JTED and leaving the parking lot takes several minutes depending where you park (I learned the secret to leaving campus early is to park right next to the exits). Then the Amphi Land Lab is Right across the street from the Tucson Mall. It's very stressful to get there on time because after-school is always rush hour, and its generally really far away. I change during my 6th period so I don't have to worry about changing in the car, or at JTED and wasting more time. I usually arrive to JTED at around 3:58 which gives me two minutes to walk to my classroom and sign my name on the attendance sheet.
It's also very tiring. During clinics you have to stand for hours just as you would in a real life Veterinary hospital. On normal class days, JTED ends at 6:30 and you get home late and still have all the regular homework left from school to complete, so you are always busy.
However, through the stress of arriving on time and having less hours to accomplish your school tasks, I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who loves animals, or wants to major in Veterinary Science. It is a fun time and you get to help out some nice friends of ours. We become their voice and share our knowledge with others.


Will We See Any Snowy Weather This Winter?
It's January. Usually, we have it pretty cold in January in our area, but not so much this year. As I type this, our high today will be close to 70. Will we see any snow this winter?
I decided to take a look back at some of the long-range forecasts that we got back in October for the winter months here in our area. Looks like the predictions from the National Weather Service and from the Old Farmers Almanac have been pretty accurate, in fact very accurate! Both were predicting a warmer and wetter winter for Texas and Arkansas. Yuck.
If it's going to be warm and wet then let' just skip winter this year and head on over to spring and summer as fast as possible. I mean really what's the point of winter if there isn't even a little glimmer of hope for a snow day?
Do you think we still have a chance to see some snow this winter?


Alan Tyson, a British musicologist and psychoanalyst whose works on Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven over the last 40 years are considered among the most important achievements of modern musical scholarship, died on Nov. 10 at Shoreham-by-Sea, in Sussex, England. He was 74.
The cause was Alzheimer's disease, according to The Daily Telegraph of London.
Starting in the early 1960's, Dr. Tyson published articles showing, for example, that two piano trios attributed to Haydn were actually by Ignaz Pleyel, and that the most familiar edition of the Mozart Horn Concertos (K. 412) had been embellished with the work of later composers.
In a 1962 essay on Beethoven's Violin Concerto, he showed that the standard published text of the work was not reliable, and published a corrected, definitive edition.
His specialized studies of manuscript paper, detailed in his 1986 book, ''Mozart: Studies of the Autograph Scores,'' helped establish not only the correct chronology of Mozart's compositions but also the order in which the separate numbers in ''Le Nozze di Figaro'' and ''La Clemenza di Tito'' were composed. His analysis of Beethoven's sketchbooks helped establish their proper order and illuminated their creator's compositional methods.
Dr. Tyson collaborated with Robert S. Winter and Douglas Johnson on ''The Beethoven Sketchbooks: History, Reconstruction and Inventory,'' an essential study published in 1985. The long entry on Beethoven in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians -- a collaboration between Dr. Tyson and Joseph Kerman -- was published separately as a book and offers a concise, comprehensive introduction to the composer and his work. All told, Dr. Tyson wrote, edited or collaborated on 13 books, and published nearly 100 scholarly papers.
Alan Walker Tyson was born in Glasgow on Oct. 27, 1926, and studied the viola and piano as a child, but was not at first interested in pursuing a career in music. As a student at Magdalen College, Oxford, he studied classical literature.
But an interest in psychiatry put his career on another path: in 1953, he became an assistant editor of the Standard Edition of Freud, and translated into English ''The Psychopathology of Everyday Life'' and several of Freud's shorter studies. He also studied psychoanalysis at the Institute of Psychoanalysis and medicine at the University College Hospital, completing his medical degree in 1965.
By then he had published several important musicological papers, and was dividing his time between his interests -- practicing medicine at University College and New End hospitals, lecturing on psychology and psychiatry at Columbia University and at Oxford, and looking into various musical mysteries by studying musical manuscripts and early printed editions. He also did important work on the music of Muzio Clementi and John Field.
Dr. Tyson became a fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, in 1952 and a senior fellow in 1971, remaining until he retired, in 1994. He also taught at the University of California at Berkeley and at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. He was made a Commander of the British Empire in 1989.


It's a fantastic question, and actually the title of a blog I really enjoy. The creator, Mary M. Purcell, posts a series of stories, photoseries, and aspirational quotes all focused on issues of social responsibility, one global community, and the common bonds that link us all together!
Mary is totally speaking my language.
This discovery inspired further research in socially responsible companies and their best practices. What I found is that being socially responsible is actually good for business. In helping others, the planet, or the universe, there were organizations that were thriving by helping others thrive.
Specifically in fashion, as we hopefully move away from the fast fashion business model, many companies incorporate socially responsible practices into their ethos.
Sustainable Fabrics and Manufacturing: Reformation is the cool kid on the ethical fashion scene. They source sustainable fabrics and work with sustainable sewers in LA. And, celebrities LOVE them for it.
Fair Trade: IOU project is all about fair trade and fair fabric sourcing. They have tracking on all their products so you can trace where your fabrics came from and who worked on creating your garment!
Employee Benefits & Charity Partnerships: Even fashion juggernauts can be socially responsible. Many are starting to make small moves in that direction. Zappos is known for its employee benefits and overall good treatment of employees. They also partner with multiple charities throughout the year.
Fair Trade: The Ethical Fashion Initiative has different groups of artisanal manufacturers in Africa who they partner with luxury brands like Stella McCartney to create fair trade products.
These examples don't even begin to scratch the surface of all the possibilities. There is no one-size fits all model. You have to find the right combination of giving back that works for you as a person or as a business.
How is AZMARA ASEFA being socially responsible?
I am partners with the Women's Refugee Commission. 10% of sales goes to helping women, youth and children displaced by crisis.
I work with factories in LA to create exceptional pieces for all women and strange birds alike! The goal is to spread to work with fair trade factories overseas as well.
I use this blog as an education tool to show young brands my process of starting and running a company. It might not be perfect, but there are many lessons I've learned so far.
I also hope to educate people about the beauty and rich history of the places I travel, especially Ethiopia. Just look at it!

The 2017 Basel Fair, an annual horological pilgrimage, wraps up in a few days. So far it is a LOT of fluff, but for the watch junkie, it is also a lot of eye candy. Take, for instance, the new Rolex Yachtmaster (seen here via Hodinkee). In my humble opinion... what were they thinking? I've read some of this model's reviews, within 48 hours of its debut, accentuated with words like chiclets, unicorn vomit, Easter and even, "I like it." Sorry, not sure for what event, or even on what planet, this would be an accessory worn by any self-proclaimed "made-it" kind of Rolex personality. Be that as it may, we're all entitled to our own opinions. This one I fear is destined for only those willing to take a super huge bet of the leveraged hedge fund variety, and only were it on Oct. 31st just to say "I'm that outrageous".
I've attended the Basel Fair in 2009 and it was awesome. I met some wonderful people, saw some fantastic and innovative watches, tools and everything in between. It was an exploratory endeavour and it fed my horological belly with lots of vitamins and fervor.
These days though, I'm happy to offer my smaller non-corporate brands - Oris, Momentum, Boccia, Marathon - and a plethora of vintage pieces from notable American, Swiss and other countries. The business model I've chosen, albeit not written in stone, urges me to provide my customers with family brands, ones that an individual in the market for a new watch would not find at Costco or on some grey market website with lackluster customer service. Let's be real, with a cell phone in the pocket, who needs a mechanical watch? Well, I'll be the first to extol the virtues of something that ticks, something that can be maintained for decades by a competent watchmaker. Many of the watches that come to my bench for repair or restoration are family heirlooms. Are they worthy of such maintenance? In most cases, absolutely. This week, two Hamilton 992B railroad watches were received and offered service. One needed a full service and a balance staff replaced. The other, having been serviced by me only a few years ago (and since dropped by the owner's grandchild) needed a balance staff, but retained a regulation that was impecable. Seconds a day error in all positions.
As much as I love seeing new innovations and cutting edge technology (see a future post of a wristwatch case using 3D printing), there are some things that tradition and old-school watchmaking can not diminish. And I am pleased to be a part of the maintenance of such well-made pieces of horology.
With a myriad of ways to kick off the new website including thanking web designer Danny for being so persistent, I thought I'd create the first journal entry by offering somewhat of an introduction to not only a favorite book, but also a very dear associate. Watchmaker Barry Marcus and I have not met, nor had we even spoken on the phone until just a few weeks ago. He called with great concern, offering a sincere warning about expired watch batteries, both lithium and silver oxide. Under certain circumstances, these batteries can heat up or even explode, with the potential for a fire. That's just the kind of guy Barry is. I get a thrill with every email. I also get a jolt of reinforcement in the path that I've taken. And all too often, I come away with some tidbit of wisdom from a watchmaker who has been at the bench since he was 11. He's now in his early 80's.
The book, co-authored with his daughter Julie Campisi, Watches I Have Known, is a sociological collage of the people (family and customers mostly) who have engaged Barry Marcus throughout his long career. The stories weave one through the emotional spectrum because it is not about the watches, it is about the people; their stories and how their lives were changed, made important or otherwise effected by the kind spirit of a watchmaker. The watches are the thread that hold the cloth of this endearing book together. The fabric is Barry and the people he writes about. The short vignettes offer the reader a chance to peer inside the world of the watchmaker from a mostly non-technical vantage. Stories run the gamut from military veteran watches being passed down and finding their way into combat again (after the caring repairs of Barry) to watches with inscriptions of past loved ones, important occasions and the like.
Watches I Have Known is a must read for anyone with a love of humanity. An appreciation for watches certainly helps. The symbolism and emotional connection watches hold shines throughout the book. Barry's passion for his craft is clearly evident, as is his understanding and appreciation for a treasured timepiece. That heirloom that might be worth very little monetarily, but everything to the owner.... and Barry Marcus knows it.


Almost three days of actionable education, hands-on creative time, and inclusive presentations and discussions with each of our hand picked and talented contributors. We curate our team based on their experience and personality so your interactions aren't just educational but relatable, too. Our attendee to speaker ratio is 3:2, making this experience very intimate and personalized.
An entire day teaching the ins and outs of floral design, styling, and tablescape curation. We will also be tackling a full tablescape design and installation as a group, which will be enjoyed during one of the retreat dinners. The curriculum in place for our floral and design day is catered to mid-level florists and designers. All materials for the hands-on sessions are provided. You are more than welcome, however, to bring your favorite tools, ribbons, supplies, etc.
Three fireside chat discussions following each evening's dinner. Each chat will be led by an intentionally selected leader who will facilitate discussions inspired by the attendees. These optional and intimate evening gatherings will be come-as-you-are and a chance to further build your relationships, discuss business in a different environment, and really, fill your cup back up.
An optional but highly encouraged private yoga class before our farewell dinner together on Tuesday. We firmly believe business success first starts with intentional self-care, so we will have lots of margin and time within the schedule to rest your body and mind.
Three nights of intimate and beautiful accommodations at the boutique Hotel Walloon. Your selected ticket will determine what style of room you have, but there are options for private and shared rooms along with lakeside or cottage views. We are happy to pair up attendees if needed.
Light continental-style breakfast, casual lunch, and impeccable dinner provided each day you are at the retreat. Refreshments and small snacks are also provided throughout the entire workshop to you. We will always promise to fill both your appetite and heart during your time in Northern Michigan! We are happy to help accommodate anyone with food allergies or sensitivities.
Exclusive access to a private Facebook group for both speakers and attendees leading up to the workshop and remaining in use long after. The group serves as a private and safe space to stay in contact with your specific Trouvaille class, request resources and guidance post event, and stay connected and up to date with the new contacts and relationships you have created.
Just the right amount of gifts and intentional surprises presented to you throughout your experience at Trouvaille. We believe in loving exceptionally well on our attendees from the moment you arrive to long after you leave. Our process for selecting gifts for you to enjoy and take home is one into which we pour a large amount of time and consideration. Time and time again we are told how truly special and celebrated each woman feels at Trouvaille. And we hope you have the opportunity to feel that same way.
Your seat to Trouvaille begins at $3200.00 and depends on your preferred accommodations (shared, private, lakeside, or cottage side).
Hotel Walloon is a very small boutique hotel with only 32 rooms, and many of those will be for women who are a part of Trouvaille. To help encourage the intimate environment we want this next retreat to encompass, we decided to include accommodation costs as part of the ticket investment. This means our attendees are only responsible for getting to and from Lake Walloon. Because we believe the best relationships result from spending as much time together during the retreat, we will only offer tickets to those staying at the hotel. The closest airport to Lake Walloon is Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City (about an hour away). You can also fly into Grand Rapids International Airport, which is a 2.5 hour drive from the hotel.
For further questions about the workshop including details on a PAYMENT PLAN, please contact Rhiannon at hello@heygorg.com.

Coinbase's Christine Sandler leaves the company for Fidelity
www.chepicap.com 30 March 2019 07:30, UTC
It has been reported by Coindesk that Coinbase's director of institutional sales, Christine Sandler, has decided to leave the company and instead work at Fidelity Investments, one of the biggest providers of financial services in the world.
Sandler joined Coinbase in March of 2018 and before that held positions at NYSE Euronext and Barclays Investment Bank. An unnamed source is quoted in the article, attesting that this departure is tied to a change of direction in the company:
"It has become clear that Coinbase is focusing on crypto first and crypto-native hedge funds, and the team that Adam [White, a former Coinbase executive] brought on board was very much focused on the institutional world... Christine is part of that; she had decades of experience of working with traditional financial institutions. Her skills are much better suited to a company that is taking that approach – like Fidelity."
Read more: 'Crypto is still very much an early adopter market'
It is at this time unclear which area of Fidelity Sandler will be workin in, but seeing as the firm has recently opened a Fidelity Digital Assets branch, that might just be a good fit.
Will Fidelity be poaching any more top people from Coinbase? Stick right here with Chepicap for all updates!

EU frustrated by House of Commons chaos
A statement by GUE/NGL President and member of the Parliament's Brexit Steering Group, Gabi Zimmer
The overwhelming rejection of the Brexit deal in the House of Commons is deeply frustrating.
We have been negotiating for years and campaigning on behalf for our citizens. We listened to our British friends and their concerns but once again, they threw away this last chance.
We are witnessing a parliament that is paralysed by party divisions and internal bickering. British citizens will have to pick up this mess because a hard Brexit now looks inevitable.
To date, British MPs have never been able to tell us what they truly want. For us, it had been clear from the start that the EU must not allow the return of a hard border or border control on the island of Ireland. There is no other way to protect The Good Friday Agreement in all of its parts.
Frankly, the easiest solution would be to have no border in Ireland. Brexit hardliners would then have no problem with the backstop, no Irish border and a smooth Brexit from the EU.
Unfortunately, every single suggestion has been rejected by the British.

Aljaz Bedene bites the dust thanks to Nadal.
As Nadal continues to bid for his 11th Title in Monte Carlo, he is showing his relentless strength and a huge possibility of indeed walking out victorious.
So far he has shown nothing but victories in all rounds and has no signs of stopping. He is proving to be unstoppable despite being away for a while.
Let's also not forget the clay surface is his stronghold and he happens to be very familiar with the environment. This might also be a contribution to his great success. However, he is an exceptionally great player and the type of surface wouldn't matter. These are some of the highlights of the last match.
Nadal made speedy work of Aljaz Bedene with a two-set triumph in the second round of the game on Wednesday.
In the wake of accepting a bye through the first round of the competition, the Spaniard ignored Bedene 6-1 6-3 as he hopes to secure his eleventh title in Monte Carlo.
Following Novak Djokovic's win on Court Rainier III before him, Nadal turned out firing right on time in spite of having not played on the circuit since suffering a hip damage in January's Australian Open.
His two wins in Spain's Davis Cup quarter-last triumph over Germany a weekend ago will have helped give him the certainty to begin quickly, and he hustled through the primary set 6-1.
Slovenia's Bedene didn't move over, yet at one of his most loved settings, Nadal was just too great to stop and wrapped up the second 6-3 easily. Following an extreme couple of months to begin the year, the Spaniard would savor another win at this competition.
He'll confront 21-year-old Karen Khachanov in the following round after his 6-2 6-2 win against France's Gilles Simon, and Nadal guaranteed he'll be prepared.


For the first couple of years we had Kiwi, his cage was near a coat closet, so he heard coats zipping up every morning. It wasn't until a couple years later that we realized the noise he was making was actually a zipper noise! Now, you can make a zipper noise and he will repeat it back. It's incredible!
Obviously, this is the perfect bird to own if you ever want to mistakenly leave the house without your pants zipped. "Excuse me sir, but your fly is down." What -- but I heard the sound before I left this morning!
Thanks to Shannon C, who agrees you should teach him Velcro next.
Alright... Nuke the planet. I want off this rock!

In Harmony: Academic-Industry Collaboration Behind the Growth of Medical Acoustics LLC
Sales of the Lung Flute expected to carry the company into the black in 2011
By Charlotte Hsu
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The success of Buffalo-based Medical Acoustics, a medical device company expecting to turn a profit for the first time in 2011, exemplifies how partnerships with universities like the University at Buffalo can help businesses bring new products to the market.
Medical Acoustics distributes the Lung Flute, a hand-held device that employs sound waves to break up mucus in the lungs of patients suffering from respiratory illnesses including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Patients use the apparatus -- a hollow tube with a reed inside -- by simply exhaling into it.
The Lung Flute has received national attention, appearing in Popular Science magazine's list of the top 100 innovations of 2009. The product also landed on national TV in 2010, starring in a segment of "The Doctors" titled "How to Get it Out."
Medical Acoustics, which has partnered with UB for years on research and development, began shipping orders to the U.S. hospital market in November. The firm has also contracted with distributors to sell the Lung Flute in the European Union and Asia.
The company, located in the Innovation Center on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, has 12 employees, nine of whom are full-time. Manufacturing is also local, with Polymer Conversions in Orchard Park producing the Lung Flute.
Over the years, UB's support has been instrumental in helping Medical Acoustics commercialize the Lung Flute, said company CEO Frank Codella. Since its founding in 2002, the firm has taken advantage of university resources ranging from financial support to help with clinical trials.
"UB has made all the difference," Codella said. "Originally, because the inventor of the Lung Flute was in New York City, we did some work with institutions there. The resources and attention we've gotten from UB far exceed anything we received from the folks in New York."
Collaborations between Medical Acoustics and UB include the following:
-- In 2003, the UB Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach helped Medical Acoustics draft the company's first business plan. Market research the office's professional staff conducted with the help of a recent UB graduate identified the Lung Flute's key market -- an underserved population of 12 million patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
-- Sanjay Sethi, professor of medicine, identified a secondary market for the Lung Flute, informing Codella and his associates the device could serve as a diagnostic tool, enabling doctors to secure sputum samples for testing. Sputum contains germs and biological markers that health practitioners can use to spot diseases including tuberculosis and pneumonia. Other detection procedures -- such as bronchoscopies, in which doctors thread a thin tube through a patient's airways -- are more invasive. Medical Acoustics began shipping the Lung Flute as a diagnostic instrument in 2007.
-- Sethi led three clinical trials that demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the Lung Flute. These studies played a critical role in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's decision to clear the Lung Flute for diagnostic and therapeutic use. Sethi, chief of UB's Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, is now conducting a six-month trial with 80 patients to examine the Lung Flute's performance over time. He said his work on Lung Flute has been rewarding because "it's good to see something come to fruition and become an option for treatment, reaching patients."
-- The UB Center for Advanced Biomedical and Bioengineering Technology (UB CAT), funded by the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR), assisted Medical Acoustics with federal grant submissions in 2007 and provided the company with $50,000 in the 2009-10 fiscal year to ready the Lung Flute for its commercial launch in the hospital market. This fiscal year, the UB CAT supported the company with another $60,000 to fund Sethi's research.
Sethi said the university's partnership with Medical Acoustics demonstrates how valuable a research institution can be to industry. Both he and Codella take particular pride in the fact that their work is contributing to the growth of Western New York's innovation economy.
"It's something everyone's so conscious of -- the need to create employment opportunities here," Codella said. "When you can create a business and create good jobs, there's a real sense of accomplishment."
"Fueling university-industry partnerships leading to job growth for life sciences companies in New York State is the primary mission of the UB CAT program," said Marnie LaVigne, director of business development for UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences and the UB CAT. "The collaboration among the UB CAT, Dr. Sethi and Medical Acoustics is a great example of leveraging university assets to bring a life sciences product to the market leading to new jobs for our region."
Codella will speak at the Center of Excellence on Jan. 27 as part of the center's Life Sciences Commercialization Lecture Series. For information on his presentation, titled "Buffalo's Growing Life Sciences Sector: Benefits to Staying Local," visit http://www.bioinformatics.buffalo.edu/events.php#Jan27.
The University at Buffalo is a premier research-intensive public university, a flagship institution in the State University of New York system and its largest and most comprehensive campus. UB's more than 28,000 students pursue their academic interests through more than 300 undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs. Founded in 1846, the University at Buffalo is a member of the Association of American Universities.

Who's makes the monstrous powered car?
Middle East became the region is increasingly attracting attention with their supercar. Not just be a fertile place for the sale, also became a place where many emerging the new brands which are able to make a supercar.
A Dubai-based startup named Devel has started testing what it claims is the most powerful gasoline-burning engine ever designed for a street-legal production car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1NwtRpU)
One is Devel, an automotive startup based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. As reported by Leftlanenews, the manufacturer is developing a supercar engine. No kidding, this machine claimed able to produce the power nearly 5,000 hp.
In collaboration with Michigan-based tuner named Steve Morris Engines, this project has successfully tested a 12.3 liters V16 engine with a block and cylinder heads made of aluminum. In those trials known, that the engine with four turbochargers is able to generate the power up to 4,515 hp and 4,771 Nm of torque.
According to Devel, actually this machine is able to produce power up to 5,000 hp, with the right amount of boost. But this power has not been successful achieved. In addition, they claimed that the car has the ability to accelerate from 0-100 kph in 1.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 563 kph..
By the performance like that, the car with this engine can be classified as hypercar, a higher version of the supercar. If entered production, it can be ascertained only be produced is limited. I feel pessimistic when it can be drive with full speed on the highway. And then, who's driving it..? Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel or ...?
Previously, W Motors which also from Dubai had produced a brand-new hypercar named Fenyr Supersport. And its 6-cylinder 3.8 liter twin turbo engine of RUF Porsche was already tune-up and capable of producing maximum power nearly 1,000 hp. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DEVEL SIXTEEN | LEFTLANENEWS]

Women Seek Out IUDs As Contraception Access Under Trump Remains Uncertain
Without the contraception mandate in the health law -- which has saved women $250 a year on average -- women would likely have to start paying a co-pay to get birth control.
Los Angeles Times: Women Rush To The Doctor For Birth Control, Fearing Trump Will Limit Access To Contraception. But Will He?
Doctors and Planned Parenthood offices across the state report that in the last week an increased number of women have asked about IUDs... Experts and medical providers are quick to point out that access to health care hasn't changed yet, and it might not do so after Trump takes office in January. Plus, any changes would take time to implement. (Karlamangla, 11/15)
