Disabling TLS 1.0 in early 2017
Filed Under: Tech Insight by midas — Leave a comment
TLS stands for "Transport Layer Security" and is a cryptographic mechanism used to facilitate secure connections and communications over the internet. Several incarnations of the TLS protocol have been developed over the years (1.0, 1.1, and 1.2), with 1.0 being the oldest and now approaching the ripe old age of 18!
TLS 1.0 is now considered a "legacy protocol" and "weak" by today's cryptographic standards, as it is susceptible to several vulnerabilities. Modern web browsers automatically default to preferring TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.1 over legacy TLS 1.0 connections, however some older browsers do not support the more modern and secure TLS 1.1/1.2 protocols.
As part of our ongoing commitment to security, in early 2017 we intend to drop support for legacy TLS 1.0 connections to our client servers. The vast majority of users will be unaffected by this change, but if you're using an older web browser/operating system, you may need to update.
The minimum browser requirements for MIDAS v4.14 (and later) have also been updated accordingly.
The following table of web browsers provides additional guidance as to any action you may need to take to ensure you can continue to access our site/your hosted MIDAS system in 2017:
Browser Version Comments
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 OK (If you see the "Stronger security is required" error message, you may need to turn off the "Use TLS 1.0" setting via Internet Options → Advanced)
9-10 OK (When running Windows 7 or newer, however you'll need to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 in Internet Explorer by selecting the "Use TLS 1.1" and "Use TLS 1.2" boxes via Internet Options → Advanced)
Upgrade Required (Windows Vista, XP and earlier are incompatible and cannot be configured to support TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 – Please update your operating system)
8 (or lower) Please update to a more recent version of Internet Explorer
Microsoft Edge All Versions OK – No action required
Mozilla Firefox 27+ OK – No action required
23-26 OK (Use about:config to enable TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 by updating the security.tls.version.max config value to 2 for TLS 1.1 or 3 for TLS 1.2)
22 (or lower) Please update to a more recent version of Firefox
Google Chrome (Desktop) 38+ OK – No action required
22-37 OK – No action required (Provided you're running Windows XP SP3, Vista, or newer, OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or newer)
21 (or lower) Please update to a more recent version of Chrome
Google Chrome (Mobile) Android 5.0+ (Lollipop) OK – No action required
Android 4.4.x (KitKat) Device Dependent (Some Android 4.4.x devices may not support TLS 1.1 or higher. Please refer to your device manufacturer if unsure)
Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) (or lower) Please update to a more recent version of Android
Apple Safari (Desktop) 7+ OK – No action required
6 (or lower) Please update to a more recent version of Safari
Apple Safari (iOS) iOS 5+ OK – No action required
iOS 4 (or lower) Please update to a more recent version of iOS
Important Information For Hosted API users:
If you're a cloud-hosted MIDAS customer utilizing the optional MIDAS API, please ensure that your applications and the underlying programming language you develop in can support (and are correctly configured for) TLS 1.1/1.2 connections. For instance Java 6 (1.6) (and lower) and .NET 3.5 (and lower) languages don't support TLS 1.1/1.2.
If your applications/programming languages do not support at least TLS 1.1, your MIDAS API calls will begin to fail in early 2017 once we disable TLS 1.0.
Please refer to the vendor of your programming language if you're unsure whether it supports TLS 1.1/1.2, or for assistance enabling such support in your development environment.
UPDATE: 1st April 2017
In advance of dropping TLS 1.0 support across our entire network this year, we've initially dropped TLS 1.0 support on our dedicated Service Status site. If you're not sure whether or not you'll still be able to access your hosted MIDAS system once TLS 1.0 support is dropped in the near future, please visit https://midas.network. If you're able to visit this site without issue, then you'll still be able to access MIDAS going forward.
UPDATE: 1st July 2017
As of today, our servers no longer accept TLS 1.0 connections. If you're unable to access our site/a hosted MIDAS system, please upgrade your web browser.

Firefox: The last of the modern browsers to drop Windows XP/Vista support
Filed Under: Uncategorized by midas — Leave a comment
If you're still accessing our web based room booking and resource scheduling software MIDAS via a Windows XP or Windows Vista machine, you'll want to read this!
As you should be aware, Windows XP and Vista are now considered obsolete operating systems which are no longer supported or maintained by Microsoft.
As a result, over the past few years major browser vendors have been slowly dropping support and updates for their products in these operating systems.
For instance, the most "recent" version of Internet Explorer that can be run on Windows XP is IE8 (MIDAS requires at least IE9). For a while this wasn't a major issue as XP/Vista users could simply switch to either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead (both of which were still being actively updated by the respective vendors on these operating systems).
However, Google announced back in November 2015 that Chrome would no longer be supported or receive updates on Windows XP or Windows Vista after April 2016.
Since then, Firefox has been the only major browser to continue supporting and providing updates on Windows XP and Vista.
This week, Mozilla have now announced that Firefox 52 (due for release in March 2017) will be the last version of their browser to receive updates on Windows XP and Vista.
Whilst Firefox 52 will still work on XP/Vista after March 2017, it will no longer receive updates. At this point, none of the modern major web browsers that are supported in MIDAS will continue to be updated on these operating systems.
We are therefore advising the handful of MIDAS users who currently still access their scheduling systems via Windows XP or Vista to upgrade their operating systems as soon as possible to ensure their web browser(s) are kept up-to-date and they're able to continue using MIDAS in the future.

The Best Web Browser? Internet Explorer 11, Chrome 31, Firefox 25, Opera 17, or Safari 5?
Filed Under: Tech Insight by midas — 4 Comments
We put the latest web browsers head-to-head to try to find out which one is best!
In developing a powerful and feature-rich browser based room booking and resource scheduling system that's supported in all five major browsers, we often get asked "So, which is the best web browser?".
This time last year we put Chrome 23, Firefox 16, Internet Explorer 9 & 10, Opera 12 and Safari 5 head-to-head
Now, twelve months on, and less than a week since Internet Explorer 11 became available for Windows 7, Firefox celebrated its ninth birthday, and just a day after Google Chrome 31 is released, we decided it was high time to once again put the latest web browsers offerings "head-to-head" and independently, rigorously test and benchmark them to find out which one of the five major browsers is currently "the best"….
Browsers Tested
Google Chrome 31 Mozilla Firefox 25 Internet Explorer 11 Opera 17 Apple Safari 5
The Tests
We broadly tested four key areas of browser performance: Speed, Memory Usage, Compliance with standards, and Javascript Performance.
1. Speed
The "Cold Start" test measures the time taken to load up the browser upon its first run after a computer reboot. This is measured from the point at which the browser is executed until the point at which its user interface (UI) is ready to accept input.
The "Non-Cold Start" test measures the time taken to load up the browser on second and subsequent runs after its first run after a reboot. This is measured from the point at which the browser is executed until the point at which the user interface (UI) is ready to accept input.
With the browser open, an empty cache, and showing a blank page (about:blank), the "Page Load Time (No-Cached Load)" test measures the time taken to completely load a complex web page. This is measured from the point at which the "Enter" key is pressed on the URL in the browser's address bar until the point at which the test web page has fully loaded (as reported by an "onLoad" event on the test web page).
With the browser open, and the test web page already loaded in a single tab, the "Page Load Time (Reload from Cache)" test measures the time taken to reload a complex web page. This is measured from the point at which the F5 key (refresh) is pressed until the point at which the test web page has fully reloaded (as reported by an "onLoad" event on the test web page).
2. Memory Usage
The "Base Memory Usage (Blank Tab)" test measures the amount of memory used by the browser with just a single blank (about:blank) tab open.
The "Memory Usage (10 open tabs)" test measures the amount of memory used by the browser with 10 tabs open, each displaying the home page of a popular website.
3. Compliance
The "HTML5 Compliance" test measures how well each browser conforms to the current state of the HTML5 specification.
The "CSS3 Compliance" test measures how well each browser conforms to the current state of the CSS3 specification.
4. Javascript Performance
There are a number of different Javascript Performance Benchmark tests available today, all of which give quite different results. We've analyzed results from 6 of the most popular Benchmarking Tests and aggregated the results below:
Individual details of each of the 6 individual Javascript benchmark test suits used to arrived at these aggregated scores may be found in our full test report, available to view/download at the end of this page.
Category Test Winner Runner-Up
Speed Cold Start
Non-Cold Start
Page Load Time (Non-Cached Load)
Page Load Time (Reload from Cache)
Memory Usage Base Memory
10 Open Tabs
Compliance HTML5
Performance Javascript Performance (Aggregate)
1st Place 2nd Place 3rd Place 4th Place 5th Place
Google Chrome 31 Opera 17 Internet Explorer 11 Mozilla Firefox 25 Apple Safari 5
The above overall positions were derived based upon the sum of the positions that each browser finished in, in each of our tests. For example, in our HTML 5 compliance test, Chrome came first and so was assigned 1 point, Safari came 5th and so was assigned 5 points. Browsers were then ranked according to the lowest number of points to give the 1st-5th places above (1st being the best)
When we last tested the five major browsers back in November 2012, Chrome came first in 8 out of 13 our tests, making it a clear winner!
A year later, and Chrome is still going strong, coming top in 8 out of 15 tests, and second in a further two tests.
Where Chrome still doesn't perform quite as well is when it comes to its memory usage, using well over 3 times as much memory with a single blank tab open than Internet Explorer 11.
We were a little surprised that Firefox only came top in 3 out of 15 tests, and only once came runner-up. To Firefox's credit, its main strength still seems to be in its memory usage. With 10 websites open in separate tabs, the amount of memory used was less than half that of Chrome with the same ten sites open.
We were pleasantly surprised by the improvement of Internet Explorer 11 over previous versions as well as other browsers.
IE11 came top in a couple of our tests, and runner-up in a further three.
Where IE11 appears to have improved most over earlier versions of Microsoft's browser in is the length of time taken to load and pages (either from a server, or from the cache) as well as start/restart the browser itself. In our tests, starting IE11 took just 0.01463 seconds! – some 280x quicker than Opera started.
That said, in general Internet Explorer 11 still has a way to go to come up to par with the other major browsers in terms of HTML 5 compliance.
A lot has changed with Opera since we last tested browsers twelve months ago. Since then, Opera have switched from using their own "Presto" layout rendering engine to instead using the same engine as Chrome.
Whilst this change has been received with mixed reviews by Opera users, with some unhappy that many of Opera's original features were dropped, our test results actually show that the "new" Opera is a browser to be reckoned with, out performing Internet Explorer 11, Firefox 25 and Safari 5 in our tests.
Opera 17 came top in 3 out of our 15 tests, and runner-up in 6.
The browser also scored highly on HTML5/CSS3 compliance and in our aggregated Javascript performance tests, however, Opera's memory usage was fairly high, second only to Chrome. Opera 17 was slow to start, however, once running it loaded and rendered web pages swiftly.
Our browsers tests were performed on a Windows machine (test specifics are included at the end of this report). Whilst the latest version of Safari is 7, Apple took the decision after the release of Safari 5.1 to no longer continue developing Safari for Windows users – a mistake in our view! Therefore, the most recent version of Safari available to Windows users is 5.1.7, which was used in our testing.
Given that Safari 5.1.7 is now the oldest of the 5 browsers tested, it follows that is doesn't perform as well as its peers.
However, surprisingly, it did come runner-up in both our memory tests as well as our non-cold start test.
Conclusions – From a Developers Perspective
From our perspective, as developers of a leading web-based room booking and resource scheduling solution, perhaps the most important factors in determining which browser is "best" are compliance with the latest HTML5 and CSS3 standards. As we work hard to ensure our software works well in all the major browsers, this is where having universal standards between browsers becomes so important. In theory, a website (or in our case, a web app), should look and behave the same regardless of the browser being used, which should in theory happen if all browsers complied 100% with standards! Chrome 31 currently comes the closest to the HTML 5 standard with 93% compliance, but as can be seen, CSS3 compliance still has a long way to go for all browsers, with the winning browser in the CSS3 compliance test (Opera 17) only achieving 58% compliance.
Speed (page load time) and Javascript Performance are also important factors for us, as we want our web app to be as fast and responsive as possible. Opera 17 and Chrome 25 loaded pages faster in our tests, with Internet Explorer 11 following close behind. As for performance, both Chrome 25 and Opera 17 outperformed other browsers in our aggregated Javascript performance test scores.
A few surprising finds:
Microsoft have made some significant steps forward with Internet Explorer 11 over earlier incarnations of their browser.
Opera 17 performed better than expected
Firefox 25 performed worse than expected, finishing an overall 4th place in our tests.
MIDAS, our popular Browser-Based Room & Resource Scheduling Software is currently supported in all browser versions we've tested here. Find out more at https://mid.as
Conclusions – So which browser should I use then!?
• If you work with lots of browser tabs open at once, and/or the amount of available memory on your system is limited, Firefox 25 would seem a good choice of browser to use, as this used the less memory than other browsers under the same conditions.
• If you regularly open and close your browser, Internet Explorer 11 or Firefox 25 would seem a good choice as these browsers start up quickly. If, however, you tend to keep your browser running most of the time, Opera 17 would be a better choice, as even though its start-up time is considerably longer, initial page load times are the quickest of all the browsers we tested
• If you're still using an earlier version of Internet Explorer – it's certainly worth upgrading to IE11, or if that's not possible (for example, if you're using Windows XP, you won't be able to update your Internet Explorer past version 8!), maybe it's time to try a different browser!?
• At the end of the day, use the browser that you feel most comfortable with! …BUT make sure you keep it up-to-date, and don't ignore the competition – if you do, you risk being left behind as other browsers overtake yours in terms of their speed, security, memory usage, standard compliance, and performance!
• In recent years, browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera have been somewhat overlooked by many regular internet users – but if you've not used these browsers for years having previously dismissed them – a lot has changed, and it's certainly worth giving them a second look again now!

Web Browser Roundup – June 2013
Filed Under: News by midas — Leave a comment
It's been a busy end to the month in the world of web browsers in June… So here's our take on what's been happening..
Internet Explorer – IE11 preview available & IE11 is to be available for Windows 7
Firefox – v22 released this week
Chrome – Now 5% faster on average
Opera – v15 preview available
Safari – Even the developers admit its gone quiet!
This last week saw Microsoft release the first public preview of Windows 8.1, which contains the first glimpse of what IE11 will have in store for its users!
Microsoft believes that "the best experience of the web is on a Windows device with Internet Explorer 11". We'll let you decide!
However, one of the main focuses for IE11 is on better support, performance, and responsiveness for touch actions
According to Microsoft's corporate vice-president for Internet Explorer, Dean Hachamovitch, speaking at last week's BUILD developer conference in San Francisco; "Most of the web wasn't designed for touch, but users still expect it to just work". An example given was that navigation and interaction within web pages or web apps often relies on "mouseovers". This is where hovering the mouse over a particular region causes a menu or tooltip to open. The natural behavior for users with a touch screen is to tap the area. This is usually translated into a "click" event rather than a "hover" action, or if they tap and hold, seen as a "right click" event.
In IE11, Microsoft has integrated support for such scenarios, allowing users to touch a hover "hotspot" so that the menu/tooltip stays open rather than automatically clicking the element.
IE11 is also the first of the major browsers to offer HTML5 drag-and-drop support for touch interaction. These "hover" and "drag-and-drop" improvements for touch should offer users on tablets or other touch-screen devices a richer experience when using our web based scheduling software.
The great news too if you're a Windows 7 user is that like IE10, IE11 will also be available to you! Whilst Microsoft have confirmed this however, there is no specific date for when IE11 may become available for Windows 7. If it's anything like the delayed IE10 release for Windows 7, Windows 7 users may have to wait 4 months longer than Windows 8 users to get their hands on the next version of IE!
MIDAS is already supported in the preview version IE11, as well as in IE8-10. However, if you're still an Internet Explorer 8 user, we will no longer be maintaining compatibility with this obsolete browser once IE11 becomes fully available. If this affects you please read this!
Also within the last week, Mozilla have released Firefox 22, bringing with it a number of improvements and new features. Some of these improvements, particularly those relating to core Javascript performance, should mean your MIDAS experience on Firefox is better than ever!
Firefox 22 also introduces support for new technologies and better compatibility with existing web standards. One of the exciting new technologies introduced with Firefox 22 is "Web Notifications". This will allow websites/apps to display notification messages on your system (similar to new mail or new message notifications that other applications may display). Notifications are not widely supported by other browsers right now. At time of writing, only Opera 12 and Safari 5 currently support it. Once this becomes more widely adopted, you may see "web notifications" being introduced to MIDAS. For instance, it could be used to notify you of booking reminders as well as new watches or messages. Stay tuned for more in the future on this!
In other highly exciting(!) Firefox news, their logo has undergone a redesigned:
…and yes, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it looks virtually the same! In justifying the new logo, Mozilla explain, "Unlike previous versions, the updated logo was created specifically with mobile in mind. Although we think it looks great at any size, it's been optimized to be crisper and cleaner on small screens and lower resolution devices. However, it also scales quite nicely for use in retina displays, and (unlike previous versions) can be accurately recreated in SVG so it's more 'of the Web'"
MIDAS is currently supported in Firefox 4+ (v22+ recommended)
We're having a hard time keeping up with the latest stable version number for Chrome! For Windows, Max, and Chrome OS it's currently version 27. However the current stable version of Chrome for Linux is 28. This is unusual, as Google tend to keep major version numbers in sync across all platforms!
So, what exciting new features have v27/28 brought? Well, not a great deal actually! Aside from a variety of fixes mainly for Flash-related exploits, the highlight of v27 is the claim that web pages load 5% faster on average!
MIDAS is currently supported in Chrome 9+ (v27+ recommended)
If you've been following our blog, you'll know that at the start of the year, Opera announced it was ditching its own Presto rendering engine. Instead it was essentially joining forces to use the same rendering engine to that of Google Chrome. Such a major change in the fundamental nature of the Opera browser was going to take time to emerge. After much confusion and changes, at the end of May, Opera lifted the lid on their "next generation" Opera 15 browser to mixed reviews.
As this was the first "preview" release, it was essentially just a shell of a browser. Many of Opera's previous features were removed, to the anger of Opera's loyal user base.
However, as June has progressed, so have the updates to Opera 15. These updates haven't exactly been earth-shattering though. Essentially just offering a handful of fixes each time and a way to import data/settings from Opera 12.
Whilst understandably there's a massive amount of work involved in changing rendering engines, Opera really need to start getting their act together. They need to remember what set Opera apart from other browsers in the first place if they really expect Opera 15 to complete with other major browsers. Right now, whilst Opera 15 hasn't yet had a general release, it's lacking a lot of features and functionality that Opera 12 offered.
That said, MIDAS is supported in Opera 15 (as well as Opera 9-12. v12+ recommended)
Well, activity on the Safari front just seems to get quieter and quieter each time we post! In fact, on the Safari blog itself they admit they've been "quieter than usual" which they attribute to Apple developers being away at a conference(!)
Anyway, A small update to Safari, 6.0.5, was released at the start of the month for OS X and iOS.
At Apple's World Wide Developer Conference this month, it was announced that Safari 7/6.1 would bring improvements in JavaScript performance and memory usage. There would also be a new look for Top Sites and the Sidebar, and a new Shared Links feature. Additionally, a new Power Saver feature pauses plugins which aren't in use. Safari 7 for OS X Mavericks and Safari 6.1 (for Lion and Mountain Lion) is expected to be available this Autumn. Sadly, there's still no sign of any more updates for Safari on Windows (which is still currently stuck at v5.1.7)
MIDAS is currently supported in Safari 4+ (v5+ recommended)

In March 1917, Stout Institute officials decided to invite alumni back to the fledgling campus to celebrate a historic day: the dedication of the brand new, four-story brick Domestic Science Building constructed just east of the Manual Training Building. So, 100 years ago, to celebrate the opening of what we now know as Harvey Hall, UW-Stout's homecoming celebration was born.
With this historical tidbit in mind, I'd like to invite our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members to participate in the wide range of activities planned for this week. The full homecoming schedule is available here.
There are so many things to do it's hard to pick out a few, like the Soapbox Derby put on Blue Devil Productions, the Blue Devil Run/Walk organized by Urec, the 50th anniversary celebration of the Stout Vocational Rehabilitation Institute and the homecoming parade, organized by the Homecoming Committee. Of course, there's the final event — the 2 p.m. football game against UW-River Falls.
A lot of people have put in hours and hours of hard work to make our centennial homecoming a success. As a proud UW-Stout graduate, I always look forward to this special week.
We bade a fond farewell to the UW System Board of Regents Friday morning, which wrapped up its monthly meeting in the Great Hall of the Memorial Student Center. There was a lot of traditional media and social media coverage of the meeting, so I won't go into the details. I'd recommend anyone looking for a recap to visit the UW-Stout Facebook page as well as the UW-Stout News page.
Mostly, I would like to thank the dozens of students and employees who helped make the two-day meeting a success. I can't tell you how many compliments I received from Regents and UW staff for our planning and hospitality.
I'd also like to single out the students, faculty members and staff who attended the Friday morning session to protest a freedom of expression resolution the board was debating and eventually passed. Although we were on opposite sides of that issue, the protest was respectful.
I'd also like to congratulate Stout Student Association spokesperson Coltan Schoenike for successfully addressing the Regents. Coltan did a fantastic job and made me #StoutProud.
On Saturday, I was privileged to welcome a meeting of representatives of UW System student governments who met in the Great Hall. I took the opportunity to talk about the role I played 40 years ago as a member of the Stout Student Association and how I learned from that experience what a crucial role our students play in the shared governance structure, which is still important on campus today.
I also learned crucial leadership, team-building, planning and accountability skills that I use daily as chancellor.
Speaking of free speech, next week features a series of presentations and panels organized by our new Center for the Study of Institutions and Innovation, headed up by Tim Shiell, as part of UW-Stout Free Speech Week.
I will participate in a panel, the first night, that Tim will moderate on perspectives of campus free speech. The panel will include Tim Higgins, a UW Regent, and John Nichols, associate editor of the Capital Times newspaper in Madison.
Other panels scheduled throughout the week will include UW-Stout faculty and staff and national experts. Visit this link to view the week's itinerary.

Q: What's different between Contains and Exists in List? I want to know what's different between Contains and Exists in List<T> ?
They can both determine whether an element is in the List<T>.
But what's different between them?
// Create a list of parts.
List<Part> parts = new List<Part>();

// Add parts to the list.
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "crank arm", PartId = 1234 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "chain ring", PartId = 1334 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "regular seat", PartId = 1434 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "banana seat", PartId = 1444 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "cassette", PartId = 1534 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "shift lever", PartId = 1634 }); ;

// of the Part class, which checks the PartId for equality.
Console.WriteLine("\nContains: Part with Id=1444: {0}",
parts.Contains(new Part { PartId = 1444, PartName = "" }));

// Check if an item with Id 1444 exists.
Console.WriteLine("\nExists: Part with Id=1444: {0}",
                  parts.Exists(x => x.PartId == 1444));

// result
// Contains: Part with Id=1444: True
// Exists: Part with Id=1444: True

A:

*

*Exists is a method of List, there is no such method on array or IEnumerable extensions.

*Correct syntax of usage of this method is x => s.Exists(y => y == x.id) (you should pass predicate, i.e. method which returns boolean)

*The difference is - Contains supported by Linq to Entities, Exists is not supported.

It looks like you got the code from here yes? Check out this thread here, as it asks a similar question. Hope it helps!

A: Exists can use any function. Contains depends on the implementation of .Equals in the element type and note that you had to create a new Part object to compare to the ones in the list.

A: The code you posted seems very similar to example code on the List<T>.Exists MSDN page, which shows quite clearly the complexity of using Contains for anything other than simple membership testing.  Examine the code on that page and you'll see that they've implemented the IComparable<T> interface to allow for searching by PartId, which then means that you can't search by anything else.  The good thing is that if you do just want to check if a List contains a particular object instance, and that object's type doesn't implement IComparable<T>, then it's fairly quick to do so.
List<T>.Exists on the other hand allows you to specify any evaluation you like - simple or complex - without locking your program into any particular set of rules for comparisons of that object.
As Spider_Says_hi mentioned in another answer, Contains is also present in LINQ and acts similarly, with the obvious proviso that it doesn't guarantee to behave identically in all LINQ variants (LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Entities, etc).  The equivalent LINQ method for List<T>.Exists is IEnumerable<T>.Any.

A: Exists and Contain methods look similar, but have different purposes.
Exists: Determines whether the List<T> contains elements that match the conditions defined by the specified predicate.
Contains: Determines whether an element is in the List<T>.
List<T>.Exists() checks whether any of the items in the list satisfies a condition (specified as a predicate). The "predicate" is just a method that accepts the item to be tested and returns true (match) or false.

A: In your example, in Exists method, you are defining the conditions for comparison.  In the Contains method, it's determined based on the default EqualityComparer, unless you've overwritten the Equals method.  So, you have to know what it's using to compare.

Baby Bao bursts onto the London scene
October 18, 2018 by Sarah James Leave a Comment
All about the Bao…
Baby Bao started life in The Pond pub in Brighton 3 years ago and has now 'popped up' on Haymarket in the heart of London's West End. Its management is testing the waters to see if Taiwanese street food appeals as much to Londoners as it does to Brightonians. If the pop-up is successful, then Baby Bao may be on the London scene permanently, and in my view, that would be a very good thing.
Our invitation to dine at Baby Bao arrived at the perfect time, I'd booked for my friend and me to see 'Heathers the Musical' at the Theatre Royal Haymarket which was almost directly opposite Baby Bao. It's also a stone's throw from Her Majesty's Theatre, where the ever-popular 'Phantom of the Opera' plays. All too often when you go to the theatre, you're in a rush and end up going to the nearest place, which is often a gamble or to somewhere that's part of a chain, which is just a little boring. So it's lovely to dine somewhere where you know that the food is created freshly on the premises, is original, and where the food and drink are very reasonably priced.
We started with a Piccadilly cocktail each (they were two for the price of one), a delicious and original combination of Pisco shaken with lime, sugar, lychee and topped up with Prosecco. The drinks menu also featured an extensive selection of craft beers, some 50 different ones.
I have to say that we really dithered with the menu as so many of the dishes sounded gorgeous. We ended up with a selection of light and fluffy bao to share. We sampled far too many bao; the tempura cod with pickled fennel and homemade tartare, roast pork belly with hoisin and peanuts, fried chicken with pineapple. We also ordered some interesting sounding sides; duck chips which came with pickled pineapple which cut through the rich duck meat, sweetcorn and nori poppers, roasted aubergine, and Japanese Karrage cauliflower.
The cauliflower was the star of the show for both of us, my friend described it as 'as work of genius'. She liked the pork bao the best, whilst I preferred the lightly fried and just flaking apart tempura cod. Despite so many of the dishes having a fried element, all the food was really fresh and light. The Bao are priced between £5.50 to £7 each, and the generously portioned sides from £4 to £7 with cocktails at £9 (but don't forget that happy hour offer).
The chef is working on new autumn dishes to continue to surprise and delight Londoners. I'm looking forward to seeing what he creates next.

Holly Near: Singing for Our Lives
Saturday 4:45 pm FFR
www.filmfreeway.com, 2018
Director: Jim Brown
Singer, songwriter and social activist Holly Near has been performing for over 50 years and in the process created what Gloria Steinem called, "the first soundtrack of the women's movement." From small-town California to sold-out shows on iconic stages to million-person peace marches, Singing for Our Lives documents the story of the activist and her art. It also serves as an important testament to a time of protest and coalition building, and the weaving of a multicultural consciousness always rooted in contemporary activism. Featuring Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, the late Ronnie Gilbert and others, this music-filled film elevates Near to her deserved status of iconic artist and activist, and speaks to anyone who believes in peace, justice, feminism and humanity.

NOAHIDE LAWS AND DECAPITATION FOR CONFESSING JESUS IS LORD
By Adm on 24/05/2014 in Antykościół, Judaizm i islam
"IT IS IN FACT, THE LUBAVITCH JEWISH MOVEMENT OF WHICH THE NWO IS BASED"
http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/noahide_laws.htm
NOAHIDE LAWS, Decapitation for Confessing "JESUS IS LORD"
The Jewish Encyclopedia envisages a Noahide regime as a possible world order immediately preceding the universal reign of the Talmud.
It has to be understood that we are not dealing with the Noah of the Bible when the religion of Judaism refers to "Noahide law," but the Noahide law as understood and interpreted by the absolute system of falsification that constitutes the Talmud.
Under the Talmud's counterfeit Noahide Laws, the worship of Jesus is forbidden under penalty of death, since such worship of Christ is condemned by Judaism as idolatry. Meanwhile various forms of incest are permitted under the Talmudic understanding of the Noahide code. (Enziklopediya Talmudit, note 1, pp. 351-352).
The Talmud also states the penalty for disobedience: "One additional element of greater severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noahide to capital punishment by decapitation. (Sanh. 57A)"
(Talmud – Sukkah 52a). With the end of free will, the opportunity to earn reward and enhance one's portion in the World to Come will also cease — forever.
Rv:20:4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Maimonides Mishnah Torah, in Chapter 10 of the English Translation, states concerning Jesus Christ:
"It is a mitzvah [religious duty; ARC], however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot." 6.
And WHO Supports This?
George Bush, indicated in Public Law 102-14, 102nd Congress, that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven Universal Laws of Noah
What Are THE SEVEN LAWS OF NOAH?
According to the Pharisees, known today in modern day as Lubavitch Jews, the Noahide Laws are based from their version of the Talmud (Satanic version of the Torah)
let's take a closer look..
1. Idolatry is forbidden. Man is commanded to believe in the One God alone and worship only Him.
–against entertaining the thought that there exists a deity except the Lord (to worship Jesus as the Messiah is blasphemy according to the Talmud and punishable by decapitation).
-against making any graven image (and against having anyone else make one for us)
-against making idols for use by others
-against making any forbidden statues (even when they are for ornamental purposes)
-against bowing to any idol (and not to sacrifice nor to pour libation nor to burn incense before any idol, even where it is not the customary manner of worship to the particular idol)
-against worshipping idols in any of their customary manners of worship
-against causing our children to pass (through the fire) in the worship of Molech.
-against practicing Ov
-against the practice of Yiddoni
-against turning to idolatry (in word, in thought, in deed, or by any observance that may draw us to its worship)
2. Incestuous and adulterous relations are forbidden. Human beings are not sexual objects, nor is pleasure the ultimate goal of life.
ILLICIT INTERCOURSE
against (a man) having union with his mother
against (a man) having union with his sister
against (a man) having union with the wife of his father
against (a man) having union with another man's wife
against (a man) copulating with a beast
against a woman copulating with a beast
against (a man) lying carnally with a male
against (a man) lying carnally with his father
against (a man) lying carnally with his father's brother
against engaging in erotic conduct that may lead to a prohibited union
3. Murder is forbidden. The life of a human being, formed in God's image, is sacred.
against anyone murdering anyone
4. Cursing the name of God is forbidden. Besides honoring and respecting G-d, we learn from this precept that our speech must be sanctified, as that is the distinctive sign which separated man from the animals.
to acknowledge the presence of God
to fear God
to pray to Him
to sanctify God's name (in face of death, where appropriate)
against desecrating God's name (even in face of death, when appropriate)
to study the Torah
to honor the scholars, and to revere one's teacher
against blaspheming
5. Theft is forbidden. The world is not ours to do with as we please.
against stealing
against committing robbery
against shifting a landmark
against cheating
against repudiating a claim of money owed
against overcharging
against coveting
against desiring
a laborer shall be allowed to eat of the fruits among which he works (under certain conditions)
against a laborer eating of such fruit (when certain conditions are not met)
against a laborer taking of such fruit home
against kidnapping
against the use of false weights and measures
against the possession of false weights and measures
that one shall be exact in the use of weights and measures
that the robber shall return (or pay for) the stolen object
6. Eating the flesh of a living animal is forbidden. This teaches us to be sensitive to cruelty to animals. (This was commanded to Noah for the first time along with the permission of eating meat. The rest were already given to Adam in the Garden of Eden.)
LIMB OF A LIVING CREATURE
against eating a limb severed from a living animal, beast, or fowl
against eating the flesh of any animal which was torn by a wild beast … which, in part, prohibits the eating of such flesh as was torn off an animal while it was still alive
7. Mankind is commanded to establish courts of justice and a just social order to enforce the first six laws and enact any other useful laws or customs.
to appoint judges and officers in each and every community
to treat the litigants equally before the law
to inquire diligently into the testimony of a witness
against the wanton miscarriage of justice by the court
against the judge accepting a bribe or gift from a litigant
against the judge showing marks of honor to but one litigant
against the judge acting in fear of a litigant's threats
against the judge, out of compassion, favoring a poor litigant
against the judge discriminating against the litigant because he is a sinner
against the judge, out of softness, putting aside the penalty of a mauler or killer
against the judge discriminating against a stranger or an orphan
against the judge hearing one litigant in the absence of the other
against appointing a judge who lacks knowledge of the Law
against the court killing an innocent man
against incrimination by circumstantial evidence
against punishing for a crime committed under duress
that the court is to administer the death penalty by the sword
against anyone taking the law into his own hands to kill the perpetrator of a capital crime
to testify in court
against testifying falsely
* This point is disagreed upon by different writers: "The Noahites are not restricted in this way but may judge singly and at once."
(Note: The Jewish Law, found in Deuteronomy 17:6, requires the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses before one can be executed. In fact, the last sentence of verse 6 specifically states, "…he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness". This should be our first clue that these seven Noahide Laws are nothing more than a clever counterfeit of God's Ten Commandments)
This paves the way for the "Lord" to be defined as to who they define as Lord, and those who don't agree or who refuse to worship their Lord, will be beheaded.
The penalty for violating any of these Noahide Laws is spelled out on page 1192 of the Encyclopedia Judaica, "… violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noahide to capital punishment by decapitation." Wow, in other words, if one person steps forward to accuse a Gentile of violating any one of these seven laws, that testimony alone would be enough to decapitate the accused. A person could be put to death for the flimsy accusation of being cruel to animals, and based on the lying testimony of one person!! Notice, there is no assumption of innocence until proven guilty, nor of the prosecution having to prove their case. No, on the accusation of one person, the accused may be legally decapitated.
Now let's look at what Cutting Edge revealed about these Noahide Laws:
We have become aware of one more development in the approach of AntiChrist. Before I tell you what this new development is, I feel the need to lay some groundwork of understanding first. Remember, when AntiChrist arises, he shall claim to be the advanced Christ Consciousness which came upon Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed, in their respective historic period. AntiChrist will also claim to the Jewish Messiah for whom they have been waiting. Peter Lemusier makes it quite clear in his book, The Armageddon Script, that The Christ will have to fulfill all the Old Testament prophecies concerning the appearance of Messiah if he has any hope of deceiving Orthodox Jews. The main point to be grasped is that this False Messiah will claim to be Jewish, and an orthodox Jew at that. He will uphold the ancient Judaic Law and the Talmud. Keeping this information in your mind please consider the following news:
Christian newsletter, "Don Bell Reports", December 27, 1991, reported that, on March 20, 1991 President Bush signed into law a Congressional Joint Resolution entitled, "A Joint Resolution To Designate March 26, 1991, As Education Day, USA". This joint resolution became Public Law 102-14. The title seems so innocuous that no one would think twice about it if they happened to just see it; however, this law is very sinister in its implications. It is typical of the New World Order Planners to devise innocent sounding words, phrases, and titles to mask their true intentions.
Public Law 102-14 states emphatically that all civilization from the beginning has been based upon a set of laws entitled "The Seven Noahide Laws". I bet you did not know this, did you? You probably believed that the Holy Bible was the basis upon which civilization was based. What are "The Seven Noahide Laws" and from whence did they come? These seven supposed universal laws, according to the Encyclopedia Americana, p. 737, state that they are "a Jewish Talmudic designation for seven biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai and consequently, binding upon all mankind." Don Bell correctly reports that these laws originated from the mystic (and Satanic) Babylonian Talmud, which no Christian has ever accepted as inspired sacred Scripture. In fact, the Talmud is that collection of man-made interpretations of the Pentateuch (Genesis through Deuteronomy) against which Jesus railed so intensely. The Talmud was taught as being equal with God's inspired Word, even though the practical effect of its teachings were so often the exact opposite of what God had intended.
However, the Encyclopedia Americana continues its explanation of the Noahide Laws, "Throughout the ages, scholars have viewed the Noahide Laws as a link between Judaism and Christianity, as universal norms of ethical conduct, as a basic concept of international law, or as a guarantee of fundamental human rights for all." This explanation leaves one to believe that both Jews and Gentiles are bound by these seven laws; however, Don Bell reports from Jewish sources that the Jew who lives according to the Torah is exempt from these seven laws. In other words, these seven Noahide Laws were meant for the Gentiles only!! They are meant to be a substitute for the Ten Commandments. At this point, we need to briefly list these seven Noahide Laws.
Thou shalt not engage in idol worship.
Thou shalt not blaspheme God.
Thou shalt not shed innocent blood of a human nor fetus nor ailing person who has a limited time to live.
Thou shalt not engage in bestial, incestuous, adulterous, or homosexual relations nor commit…rape.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt establish laws and courts of law to administer these laws, including the death penalty for those who kill, administered only if there is one testifying eyewitness (Note: The Jewish Law, found in Deuteronomy 17:6, requires the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses before one can be executed. In fact, the last sentence of verse 6 specifically states, "…he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness". This should be our first clue that these seven Noahide Laws are nothing more than a clever counterfeit of God's Ten Commandments).
Thou shalt not be cruel to animals.
Now that I have your attention, let us examine further Public Law 102-14, which set the Noahide Laws as the basis for International Law, (read United Nations) to which all American law must conform. This public law singles out one Jewish group for special honor, saying that they embody the principles of these Noahide Laws. This group is the ultra-orthodox Lubavitch Movement, known for its strict adherence to the smallest detail of the Talmud. This group believes their head Rabbi, Menachem Scheerson, is the prophesied Messiah, and are anxiously waiting for him to publicly proclaim his office. This is such a small splinter religious group that very few Americans have ever heard of it; yet, the Congress and the President of the United States have declared in this law that this rabbi is "universally respected and revered" and that his Lubavitch movement has "fostered and promoted these seven Noahide Laws". Don Bell again sheds much light upon this Lubavitch Movement, when he quotes Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, the head of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 1943, writing in the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, "Pharisaism became Talmudism…the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered. When the Jew studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating arguments used in the Palestinian academies." In other words, the Talmudic Lubavitchers are reborn Pharisees. Our listeners should immediately be alerted by this revelation, because, on July 17, 1993, we studied the beliefs of the Pharisees and discovered that they were occutlic. Many Pharisees belonged to the Jewish occult group, the Cabal, Satanic through and through. We studied that the Jewish Cabal forms a most important foundational building block upon which the entire New World Order movement is based. Finally, we showed how these Pharisees could hate Jesus Christ so vehemently, even in the face of His tremendous miracles. We understood how Jesus possessed such hatred of the teachings and the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. Once we understand that the Pharisee of Jesus' day was involved in a Satanic secret society, we can understand how they could hate him so much.
Then, on July 24, we studied how these Pharisees originated the Unpardonable Sin. They viewed the many supernatural miracles of Jesus and believed that He was able to accomplish these miracles because He was an Adept in the Egyptian Mysteries. He could, therefore, access the power of the occult. Jesus warned them not to ascribe His power to Satan, but they continued to do so, thus committing the Unpardonable Sin. To this day, secret societies continue to teach their members that Jesus could do His many miracles because He was an Adept in the occult.
The Pharisees also succeeded in killing Jesus Christ on the basis that He blasphemed God, which is Noahide Law # 2. Remember Jesus' words, in Matthew 10:24-25, that the disciples of the Master will be treated in just the same way as the Master has been treated. I wonder if this Scripture has any bearing upon this current situation? Public Law 102-14 sets the foundation for American and United Nations Law to be established in such a way as to uphold these Seven Noahide Laws. These seven laws are a counterfeit of the Ten Commandments, and are promoted by the Neo-Pharisee occult group, the Lubavitchers. Don Bell further states that the Lubavitchers are a "Mystic" group, thus signifying that they teach the Cabal as well as the Talmud. This revelation ties them directly into the secret societies of today which are powering the drive into the New World Order, i.e., the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the Bilderberger Group, just to name a few. Thus, it would seem natural that these secret societies would look favorably upon a Mystic Jewish group, which has its active roots in the ancient Cabal, a group which is a soul-mate to today's secret societies.
Is Satan setting the stage where Christians could be legally charged with violation of Noahide Law, Number 2, of blaspheming God? Certainly, our doctrine that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh would constitute "blasphemy against God", just as it did against Jesus. But, our punishment would be decapitation, a much more humane way to die than crucifixion. What does Scripture foretell as to the way in which true Christians will die in the Tribulation Period? Jesus reveals, in Revelation 20:4, that Christians in the Great Tribulation will be beheaded, i.e., decapitated, precisely the method proscribed by the Talmud. This is just one more instance in which the stage is apparently being set for the precise fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

NSW tightens hotel quarantine protocols; Masks to remain mandatory 'for foreseeable future'
NSW will start managing cases of COVID-19 among overseas travellers differently in light of the new COVID-19 mutations around the world, Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant has announced.
The announcement was made on Saturday morning, as the state reported one new locally acquired case of coronavirus, linked to the Berala cluster. The state also recorded five cases in hotel quarantine, from about 25,500 tests.
"As the Premier indicated, we are seeing the emergence worldwide of a number of strains, and with travel, they are no longer the UK strain or the South African strain. We live in a global world and so all returning travellers are at increasing risk of having one of these mutations which need to be investigated," Dr Chant said.
"Some of the mutations are associated with increased transmissibility, and obviously we need to be vigilant for other impacts of the viruses as they change. This is a normal part of the evolution. It is what we expect virus to do, but it is important that we therefore take a very precautionary approach."
COVID-19 patients will not be released from isolation until at least 14 days after their symptom onset, and they will get tested at the end of their isolation period.
"It is important to note that some people still can have remnants of the virus for a long time, so we will use an expert panel to ensure we are not releasing cases that are infectious and that will require more intensive testing if anyone still remains [positive]," Dr Chant said.
"It is important to remember with the sensitivity of our tests, there are people where we can detect very low levels of virus fragments that don't present a risk."
Dr Chant said NSW Health was also going back and following up on returned travellers who had the virus.
"We have identified one case that has been tested and does still show remnants of the virus," she said. That case had been to a number of venues around Burwood in Sydney's inner west," Dr Chant said.
"We are taking a precautionary approach by announcing some of the venues that that person attended."
She said it was essential that the state maintained high testing rates over the next week in particular.
"We are aware that some people are still out there with symptoms who aren't getting tested. As we are in this critical phase of mopping up any undetected chains of transmission, it is essential that people get tested," she said.
"I know I've been asking you for many weeks to come out and get tested, but if we could have a real push over this next upcoming week to maintain those high levels."
How long will mask use continue?
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has confirmed that mask use will continue "for the foreseeable future".
"We know from previous experience that when you do have a super-spreading incident, it tends to be in one of the high-risk indoor venues, whether it is inside a supermarket, a hospitality venue or inside the home. So the health advice is mitigating the risk of the high-risk indoor settings, which is what we've done. Until [the high alert] has subsided, we will continue.
"As we've said consistently, we don't want to put any unnecessary burdens on our citizens unless we have to. If there is an opportunity to ease the restrictions we will, but we also have to assume that given the variants in the virus coming through, that there will be situations where we might need to tighten or even strengthen those [restrictions].
"At this stage we believe the current settings are appropriate for the risk that is pose. If we get health advice to say that they are now more comfortable with the community transmission levels, we can revert back to the previous freedoms we had, which we don't have today."
Ms Berejiklian also thanked the northern beaches community for their compliance and patience over recent weeks, as authorities prepare to lift the lockdown on that area at midnight.
But she asked all people in Greater Sydney and NSW to continue maintaining the level of restrictions in place, "until the current threat level is reduced".
"There are now variants to the strain of the virus. It is important for us to learn as much as we can during this time," she said.
"We have to assume that this strain will become the dominant strain and it is important to keep re-assessing our settings, keep staying vigilant and for the immediate future keep wearing our masks in those indoor settings."
New health alerts
Late on Friday night, NSW Health issued a new public health alert for venues in Sydney's inner west and one venue on the northern beaches that had been visited by confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Anyone who attended the following Burwood venues at the times listed is a casual contact and must get tested immediately and self-isolate until they receive a negative result:
Artisaint Cafe on Burwood Road in Burwood, on Wednesday, January 6, from 10.30am – 11am
Bing Lee on Burwood Road in Burwood, on Wednesday, January 6, from 11.25am – 11.40am.
Other venues visited by people who should monitor for symptoms, and get tested if they occur, include Westfield Burwood Shopping Centre, Kmart Burwood, and Costume at Avalon Beach. Further details about the times of possible exposure and NSW Health advice to those who attended is available here.
Mutant strains detected
It comes a day after Dr Chant revealed 10 new cases in hotel quarantine with more infectious lineages of the COVID-19 virus – six with the UK variant (known as B.1.1.7) and four with the South African iteration (B1.351).
On Thursday night, a NSW Health lab detected the B1.351 variant in PCR samples from four family members who had recently flown in from South Africa.
Further testing is underway to confirm the cases, but as a precaution all 16 passengers who shared their flight from South Africa to Sydney have been moved to Special Health Accommodation, where all COVID-positive travellers are quarantined.
Among the six people with the UK variant, two are still quarantined in Special Health Accommodation and four have been discharged after medical assessments deemed they were no longer infectious, Dr Chant said.

Happy 20th Eco-Schools anniversary, Finland!
20th anniversary celebrations in Tampere in May 2019

20 years ago, in May 1999, the first three green flags were raised in Helsinki, Finland. Eco-Schools programme had started in Finland in Autumn 1998, four years after its launch in Europe. The idea for starting the programme had come from the neighbouring countries Sweden and Denmark, from where came also the name of the programme, "Vihreä lippu" in Finnish and "Grön Flagg" in Swedish, meaning "Green Flag". The programme is still run bilingually, with the both national languages Finnish and Swedish.
During the first year, the program started as a pilot in Eastern Helsinki, where 4 schools and 2 kindergartens joined it - half of them getting a green flag after the first year. However, thanks to good press coverage and enormous interest among environmental education -minded teachers, the programme started spreading fast. After one year, in Spring 2000, already 80 schools and kindergartens from many parts of Finland had joined the programme, and 36 received the flag!
These days, in 2019, there are around 300 schools and kindergartens involved in the programme in Finland, with around 270 of them having the green flag. Among these is also still one of the original participants, kindergarten Päiväkoti Neulanen, that has been on the Eco-Schools journey for the whole 20 years. From the very beginning kindergartens (ages 1-6) have been a big part of the programme, nowadays forming 45% of the participant!

Back in 1998, when Päiväkoti Neulanen joined the programme, they had no previous experience of environmental education. However, during the 20 years in the programme, environmental education has become a core value of their educational work- "Our whole staff is very engaged in, and proud of the Green Flag, and environmental education is deep in our values and everyday activities" say early education teachers Karoliina Silander and Kira-Mia Tuisku, who nowadays take charge of running the program there. However, it is the work of their predecessors and long-time colleagues, that should be given the biggest credit – "Thanks to them, many good ideas and activities have continued to live on throughout the years, and it has been easy for new employees to get in the Eco-Schools work".

A funny side story:
Päiväkoti Neulanen won the Finnish national prize in the Environment & Innovation contest 2009 organized by the international Eco-Schools programme. Their winning entry idea in the energy-saving innovation contest was a free-standing drying rack for wet outdoor gloves, integrated to a radiator.
The innovation didn't get much international fame, because the international jury of the competition didn't understand its purpose at all: "why would any school need to dry wet gloves on a daily basis?" Little did they know, that in Finland the kids spend time outdoors every day, whatever the weather – and therefore such a drying rack could save a lot of energy by removing the need for a separate drying cabinet

This May, the 20th anniversary of Eco-Schools in Finland was celebrated in three regional birthday parties and award ceremonies on different sides of the country. Over 600 eco-committee members from schools and kindergartens joined the happy celebrations. Hooray, Eco-Schools 20 years in Finland!

Curriculum Key Knowledge
Strategic Lead for Science SMS & KMS : Miss J Sharples j.sharples@kirkburtonmiddle.co.uk
The Aims of the Science curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to inspire a lifelong curiosity in students about themselves, the world, the universe and its mysteries. It should empower students so they can evaluate and form their own ideas about how and why things happen using critical scientific thinking. This includes the ability to engage confidently in the ever-changing technical world.
At Kirkburton we strive for a quality science education throughout our curriculum which encompasses the following aims for ALL students-
To install a lifelong interest and fascination about Science
To prepare pupils and impart knowledge/skills to enable their further study beyond KMS including preparation for greater demands of the new GCSEs
To empower pupils using a growth mindset and skills/knowledge gained in lessons to consolidate, apply and link ideas about Science to explain phenomena. This may well take them outside their learning 'comfort zones'
To allow pupils to explore their natural curiosity about the world through the use of science inside and outside the classroom
To provide opportunities which give pupils experience, skills and knowledge through a varied curriculum that encompasses all Scientific disciplines and a relevance to the ever changing technical world
To build the demands of the curriculum from Y6-8 in line with AREX (age related expectations)
To design a programme of study which challenges pupils and allows them to revisit and use previous knowledge/skills in a spiral curriculum
To provide opportunities for the development of SMSC, literacy, oracy and numeracy skills throughout the curriculum
To allow pupils to assess through the different methods and track progress against the AREX allowing them to understand where and how to improve.
To allow pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and progress in science inside and outside of the classroom
To build pupils resilience and give them the confidence to challenge their knowledge and understanding.
s one of the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Maths and Engineering) we promote the study of science as a major career path for all pupils.
We study biological, chemical and physical process, through topics which show the links between these different disciplines, using the 'big ideas' of science, such as particles and energy, to underpin these scientific processes. Throughout our science curriculum we try to show how science is used in the 'real' world. We look at aspects such as forensics, cooking, medicine and sports science. This provides pupils with a context within which these scientific processes are used as well as embedding science as a part of everyday British culture.
Pupils engage in a range of investigations, learning to; plan, carry out, analyse and evaluate experiments, as well as assessing risk to make sure their experiments are safe. They learn how scientific models and theories help to explain their observations, as well as learning how these models and theories can change as new observations are made.
Pupils learn how science has developed as a discipline over time, by studying the history of key scientific ideas and the leading British and world scientists and cultures that have contributed to this understanding. Through the curriculum we aim to develop in pupils an appreciation of the power of science to improve peoples' lives.
The science programme of study at K.M.S has been revised in the light of the new national curriculum 2014, the new style GCSE exams and with the collaboration of colleagues from the other schools in the Shelley College pyramid. This collaboration has helped to ensure that the curriculum at Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 is fully covered in the most appropriate way to meet the needs of all our pupils. A greater emphasis on pupils' numeracy and literacy skills has been built into science lessons to enhance pupils' understanding of the scientific concepts they study, as well as helping them to communicate their ideas more clearly.

What career…?
Students who succeed in science can look forward to careers in health, engineering, technological industries, academia, media and many others.
Topics may vary from class to class at different times in the year.
Pupils will describe and measure different forces and draw force diagrams. They will explore how fiction and air resistance can be changed and how gravity is a force of attraction towards the Earth. They will discover how balanced forces are involved in floating and sinking. They will practice carrying out scientific investigations and drawing line graphs.
Pupils will learn about the location and function of the major organs of the body. They will investigate the different nutrients needed by the body and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. They will look at how the heart and lungs work together to deliver important chemicals such as oxygen in the body and the effect of exercise.
Pupils will explore the properties of solids, liquids and gases and changes of state. They will learn how to assess risks and carry out simple experiments safely. They will investigate the solubility of different chemicals and how to use filtering to separate solids and liquids. They will look at the difference between reversible and irreversible change.
Pupils will learn about the different components that make up an electrical circuit and learn to draw circuit diagrams using symbols. They will investigate how changing the number of bulbs and batteries in a circuit will affect the flow of electricity around the circuit and the differences between series and parallel circuits. They will consider the dangers electricity poses in and out of the home.
Environment and Evolution
Pupils will learn about the signs of life, which define living things. They will classify living things into groups using branching keys. They will study different habitats and some of the adaptions the animals and plants have to live there as well as some of the habitat's important food chains. They will study how fossil have provided evidence, that the process of evolution has over millions of years adapted species to suit their environment.
Topics may vary from class to class at different times in the year
Speed and forces
Pupils will use investigate the need for evidence and how we ensure that data is accurate and reliable. They will equations and rearrange them using correct units of speed, distance and time. Pupils will be introduced to forces and their effects and investigate ideas about weight, mass and gravitational fields.
Pupils will explore the skeletal and muscular systems and relate the organ systems of the body to the cells tissue that make them up. They will compare plant and animal cells and make cell models.
Pupils will explore the difference between physical and chemical change and investigate some simple chemical reactions using metals and non-metals. They will look at the differences between acids and alkalis and what happens when they are reacted together.
Ecosystems and genes
They will learn about plant reproduction, human reproduction and the development of the baby during pregnancy. They will be introduced to simple genetics as the mechanism of inheritance.
Pupils will calculate energy costs, explore energy transfers and the different types of energy.Pupils will look at the production of electricity and the need for more renewable sources of energy as well as explore the evidence for climate change
Pupils will study Earth's place in the Solar System and the wider Universe and learn that space cannot be measure in terms of simple lengths. They will explore the concept of the day, the year and the seasons as they apply to all planets in the Solar System, as well as developing a wider understanding of the force of gravity.
Pupils will also undertake periodic tests and key assessments to aid learning.
Pupils will explore ideas about sound and light waves, including how they travel and investigating what happens when they pass through or hit materials of varying densities. They will apply their ideas to lenses and periscopes.
Forces and pressure
Pupils will learn to measure the speed of object and manipulate scientific formulae. They will construct and interpret time /distance graphs to describe the motion of objects. They will plan, carry out, write up and evaluate experiments to investigate friction, ensuring precision, accuracy and reproducibility in their results. They will work out resultant forces and using Newton's laws of motion describe what happens to the motion of object when forces are balanced and unbalanced.
Periodic table and matter
Pupils will expand their ideas of particles to include atoms and molecules. They will discover the difference between elements and compounds and explore the periodic table, and also learn how to name compounds and write simple formulae.
Breathing and digestion
Through the context of sports science, pupils will study the role of the respiratory system in delivering oxygen into the body. They will take measure aspects of breathing and study its mechanics, as well as the process of gas exchange inside the lungs. They will study the need for a well-balanced diet, not on in terms of the nutrients its provides, but also in the energy intake and energy used by the body. They will investigate the function of enzymes in the digestive system in releasing vital chemicals our bodies need for life.
Chemical energy and reactions
Pupils will explore different types of chemical reactions involving; acids, carbonates and metals. They will investigate combustion and look at the energy changes involved in different chemical reactions.
They will investigate the role of photosynthesis in providing energy for a plant and materials for growth and how leaves are adapted to this process. The pupils will learn how these two systems of the body work together to deliver the two vital substances needed by the cell to release energy in the process of respiration.
Energy- Heating and cooling
Pupils will learn about different types of thermal energy transfer, how work gets done, and how to insulate against energy transfer in a real life context.
GCSE required practicals
Throughout the year, pupils will undertake some of the required practicals to prepare them for GCSE Science. Pupils will plan and carry out experiments ensuring the accuracy of their results by identifying and removing, where possible, random and systematic errors. They will produce graphs showing relationships with smooth curves or lines of best fit. They will use graphical techniques to analyse to validity of their data.
Science encourages individual to hold their own beliefs and have respect for others whose belief may differ. By its very nature it encourages pupils to question and interrogate hypothesis and formulate their own conclusions using the evidence they have available to them. Pupils through team work will be given opportunities to decide on what's the best course for the group through discussion. Pupils also discuss how theories have changed (e.g. Atomic theory) through peer review and experimentation until they become widely held within the scientific community.
Pupils are taught the need for safety rules in the laboratory and during practical's. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their own and others safety through the use of risk assessments. They also understand that breaking the rules have consequences.
Science encourages individual to hold their own beliefs and have respect for others whose belief may differ. By its very nature it encourages pupils to question and interrogate hypothesis and formulate their own conclusions using the evidence they have available to them. Science also encourages team work and debate and allows pupils to recognise that everyones contributions are important and valid. Pupils also are encouraged take responsibility for their own learning and progress in science inside and outside of the classroom.
Pupils are encouraged to explore their natural curiosity about the world through the use of science inside and outside the classroom so they can see that living in society today means we share a common goal of responsibility for our planet and the organisms who live on it. Where appropriate to a topic, the ethical and ecological issues are discussed (e.g. bioaccumulation). Pupils learn to work collaboratively and how to cooperate with others during practical work/classwork. They must learn that everyone has their own strengths, ways of working and aspects of knowledge allowing others the room to express their views and feel listened to.
Scientific facts remain the same no matter the culture, language or religious beliefs of individuals. Science transcends boundaries to help us prepare for a better future. Pupils are encouraged to recognise that contributions from all cultures are important, valid and needed to make sense of the world around us and universe beyond that.

Every year, before the winter break, the school participates in a performance that brings out much of the talents of our children. The plays and songs draw on honorable ethical and cultural values and enforce the attributes of giving, helping, and sharing. This event allows students to build their public confidence and self-expression in a positive and constructive manner.
"The question really isn't whether I'm American, Russian, Iranian, Azerbaijani, or anything else. I've been shaped by all these people and cultures and I feel quite comfortable among all of them."
Art and Home Economics are two main subjects in the school. Children enjoy these classes as they give them a free outlet of expression and a way to manifest their preferences and way of living. Much creativity, while applying the core skills of math and language, are incorporated in these activities.
Kindi Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
