Named after its two founding partners, Agnes + Day approaches crisis management and planning as more than just a crisis plan. Yes, a crisis plan is important, but what's most important is adapting a corporate culture that understands today's crisis and communication realities, and enables your team to quickly identify and resolve issues before they have the opportunity to escalate into crises (which, as you know, can happen very quickly).
We believe in the power of technology for crisis communication, as well as the power of the community and building trust with your most important stakeholders as a form of crisis prevention and preparedness.
We approach working with our clients as a long-term partnership where we dive deep into understanding the organization's corporate culture, industry regulations and stakeholder needs and expectations.

[ISEA95] Artist Statement: Marc Tremblay — Chronique du disque
This piece is a dialogue between a turntable manipulator and an electroacoustician at a sound console. Using scratches, bumps, varying speeds and collages, they improvise in order to integrate the sonic matter of vinyl records, an outdated technology and reuse it as a new instrument for artists in search of innovation. At the turntable: Martin Tetreault, a vinyl dj sonic composer working in theatre, visual arts, performances and music. An ACREQ commission with the support of the Canada Council, with thanks to Lynda Clouette, Alain Thibault, Radio-Canada, Mario Gauthier, Raffi Armenian, Henri Bergeron, Edgar Fruitier and Ginette Bellavance.
Marc Tremblay (Canada). This electroacoustic music composer studied percussion and composition at the music conservatories of Chicoutimi and Montreal. He writes for instruments and tapes while trying to integrate his medium into the realm of improvised music. Artist-in-residence in Bourges (1990), First prize of Radio Canada's young composers and the SDE competitions, Honorable mention at Luigi Russolo, he is a great fan of drugs, likes to play GO and the Saren-Sei overture when he plays black…

I'm starting to feel firearm saturation… or am I? Maybe in 10 days? I doubt it.
Cool — but why not get the .308 version? Or is the '39 that much more compact?
It'll be more of a carbine than a battle rifle. If I want .308 WIN, I will seek out my M1A. I also think that the x39 will be easier on the wallet to practice and there is little concern with brass vs steel cased ammo with the Saiga.
I have a 16in sporter. Tight little package. I think you'll like it. I've been holding off on doing a write up on mine until I convert it and do a before and after.
Conversion so you can add a pistol grip?
yea- its tough in NY because we can't use American made mags- so we have to play the parts game for compliance a bit differently. In addition to the normal parts change, we usually end up changing out base plates and mag followers as well, plus one additional item to make up for the loss of a mag body as a compliance part.
I'm trying not to have to do the front sight assembly, as thats just an expensive adventure in frustration- so I've been sitting on it looking for parts deals. I want to convert 4 mags legally in case I want to resell in the future- and figure that will be a strong selling point.
Also I'm trying to find a cheap US made stock that is significantly longer than the original ak pattern calls for. The LOP on AKs is just way too short for me.

IoT news of the week for May 1, 2020
May 1, 2020 by Stacey Higginbotham Leave a Comment
Ayla Networks partners with Firedome for IoT security: Ayla Networks, which provides a platform for companies that want to build IoT devices, has teamed up with security provider Firedome to offer security on the device side and in the cloud for connected products. The move follows a trend in IoT security where devices have to have secure enclaves and security features built in, but also require some form of active behavior monitoring and updates from a cloud-based provider. Microsoft has pioneered this approach with its Azure Sphere platform, which links the cloud and the device, but companies that need a retrofit or aren't already all-in on Azure might want to take a look at this option. (Ayla Networks) — Stacey Higginbotham
Your algorithms don't do well with black swans: Businesses have embraced predictive algorithms to anticipate breakdowns, stock necessary inventory, and even staff stores, but the COVID-19 pandemic is showing just how far off the data can lead you during an unprecedented event. As companies are starting to realize, the fluctuations in demand during the pandemic are causing their algorithms to fail. This algorithm failure in combination with just-in-time inventory means those companies are running out of products, thereby missing out on crucial sales opportunities. Ramping up manufacturing or changing the operations of manufacturing plants (for example, to make ventilators) is also throwing off algorithms trained on one set of operations. So, if you're running an automated prediction process, it's probably time to bring in a few humans to check that data. (The Verge) — Stacey Higginbotham
Thank you, Simon Segars: That's right, this is a heartfelt thank you to the CEO of ARM, who apparently has been living up to a pretty high standard for corporate leadership. Yes, this article is written by the chief marketing officer of ARM, which means that it's expressly designed to make the company look good, but I can't help but agree with the sentiment. Essentially, Segars has shared his own struggles with leading the company while also taking care of his kids and otherwise managing home life at the same time, something millions of people are struggling with right now. For this to come from the CEO of a large company is pretty big, but for it to come from a male CEO in a male-dominated industry is doubly significant. I'm hoping this triggers a shift in the kinds of expectations the tech world has around family, work, and figuring out how to do both well. (Quartz) — Stacey Higginbotham
More on the pandemic v. your privacy: I wrote a few weeks back about how we should treat Bluetooth and location data during the public health emergency that is the pandemic, and it becomes clear that a return to normal life is going to involve some form of surveillance to both implement contact tracing and ensure workplaces are safe, more needs to be said. Thankfully, this is an excellent article on the legal challenges that might arise as a result of pandemic-related data-gathering. (Law360) — Stacey Higginbotham
Particle's tracking system is what companies want for asset tracking: We often reference Particle for its IoT hardware chips, but the company this week launched its Particle Tracking System, which brings wireless, chips, and software together. The system will arrive in June, when it can be used to track products at rest and in transit in a single, cohesive interface. Particle says it heard from companies seeking an out-of-the-box, connected geolocation asset tracker, so it decided to build one and see if there were any takers. I'm betting there are, and since Particle boards already support the IoT connectivity needed, this product will appeal to many. (Particle) — Kevin C. Tofel
Nanoleaf Shapes pre-orders about to start: Stacey and I always make sure to check out the Nanoleaf booth at the Consumer Electronics Show, and this year was no exception. We saw the new Nanoleaf Shapes, which are hexagonal smart lights for your home. As most products at the show don't hit the market until later in the year, Nanoleaf is just now opening up pre-orders. Starting this week, you can sign up to be among the first in line for these lights, which are touch-sensitive, work with all the major voice assistants, and can display 16 million colors. (Nanoleaf) — Kevin C. Tofel
Aqara smart switches for HomeKit debut: Apple HomeKit users, rejoice! There's another line of supported light switches for your smart home. Aqara introduced four different models this past week: a $40 single rocker with or without neutral wire, as well as a $45 double rocker that also comes with or without a neutral. But since the switches use the Zigbee protocol, there is a small downside. You'll need a $60 Aqara hub to convert that Zigbee signal into one that HomeKit understands. Still, there aren't many HomeKit switches on the market, so these might be worth a look. The fact that you can buy them for older homes without neutral wires is another bonus! (Aqara) — Kevin C. Tofel
A new Machine Vision AI Developer Kit just landed: Remember the old Intel Atom processors? It seems like Intel keeps finding new uses for them. The latest is a $199.99 Machine Vision AI Developer Kit that looks like a Raspberry Pi. You'll have to add your own camera, but from a software standpoint, everything you might need for AI vision training models is included, from the OpenVINO engine to a model streaming service for AWS to an AI model manager. I was prepping a Pi for an upcoming machine vision project, but this might prove to be the better tool. (RFID Journal) — Kevin C. Tofel
WiTrack sensors granted FCC waiver for health monitoring: MIT has been working on person detection using body radio reflections for some time now and the tech, called WiTrack, is impressive. It can pinpoint where someone is in another room, for example. But the university has also found other uses for it, including monitoring a person's vital statistics through minute differences in the radio reflections due to body movement. MIT says WiTrack can determine pulse and breathing rate with up to 99% accuracy. But is the tech safe? The FCC thinks so, as it recently granted MIT a waiver for unlicensed devices to permit the certification and marketing of its WiTrack system. Given that we need smart tech to support remote patient monitoring now more than ever, you go MIT! (FCC) — Kevin C. Tofel
Blink Mini vs Wyze Cam: Which should you buy? Amazon-owned Blink debuted its Blink Mini wired camera in early April, and I spent some time with a review unit over the last week. If you're already in the Blink or Amazon ecosystem, it might be worth a look. But I was a little underwhelmed when I compared it to the Wyze Cam products, which are cheaper and support local video storage out of the box. You'll need a $35 add-on for that same functionality with the Blink Mini. (StaceyOnIoT) — Kevin C. Tofel

Matthews Senior Living Community Drops 'Plantation' From Name
Published December 2, 2020 at 7:17 AM EST
The entrance to Matthews Glen, formerly Plantation Estates, on Matthews Township Parkway.
MATTHEWS — Acts Retirement-Life Communities has announced that its senior living retirement community, Plantation Estates, in Matthews has been renamed as Matthews Glen. The new name was selected overwhelmingly in a vote by the community's residents and staff members.
"We have long recognized the controversy that surrounds the word "plantation" and are sensitive to how it is commonly understood," said Steve Messer, Executive Director of Matthews Glen. "The decision to rename the community is representative of the values we have always stood for and our larger commitment to be recognized as an open, inclusive and diverse community."
Matthews Glen is a continuing care retirement community with approximately 740 residents. The community has been in Matthews since 1988 and has experienced steady growth in recent years. Situated on a 124-acre campus, Matthews Glen provides a mix of independent living, assisted living and skilled care residences.
"Our new name doesn't change who we are but reaffirms and embraces who we've always been — a welcoming and inclusive community enjoyed by a diverse array of individuals," Messer said.

We caught up with the former backup dancer just in time for Father's Day.
Three sons, three daughters, and one very famous ex. Kevin Federline isn't a name you hear often anymore. Federline shares two daughters with his current wife, former pro-athlete Victoria Prince, with whom he has been linked since 2008. After years of gracing the tabloids with hundreds of headlines, the full-time dad/part-time DJ/producer is happiest these days spending time with his kids, embracing his new vegan lifestyle and maintaining a healthy marriage.
We caught up with the former backup dancer just in time for Father's Day to learn how his co-parenting style has evolved, and which of his boys is already displaying his musical side!
Personal Space: What's a typical day in the Federline house?
Kevin Federline: Up at 6/6:30 a.m. Get the kids ready, take them to school. Kids get home, homework done, dinner, showers, off to bed. By the time they are laying down, I'll get back into the studio if I need to. I try to be in bed by midnight. If you aren't getting 5 to 6 hours of sleep, you're falling asleep while they're at school.
PS: Any special plans or traditions for Father's Day?
KF: I'm used to not having all my kids, and this is gonna be one of those years. When you are co-parenting, you have to be willing to give up some of the things you would really like to do. My boys will be gone, their mom's off in Asia on tour. They are with me until the 15th, and then they are gone for the rest of the month. So I won't have the boys for Father's Day. I'm doing a vacation with some of the kids and my nephew.
PS: Is it hard raising 6 kids?
KF: Having six, it feels like you're trying to control a basketball team. But it's worth it. All my kids are great; they get along. By the time you have six, you are so well seasoned. I can probably change a diaper with one hand and feed a kid at the same time.
PS: Does co-parenting get easier over time?
KF: Yah, you fall into your routine and it's really easy now. It wasn't always easy, but it's a lot easier now.
PS: Are Preston and Jayden interested in music?
KF: Oh Yah! Preston kind of knows how to DJ. He wants to learn more. I got him Ableton [music production app] on his laptop, so he kind of messes with that. He hasn't completely dived into it, and I don't want to force him. I want to make sure it's something he really wants to do. He's really big in to the EDM trap music scene. He'll come to me, "have you heard this?" Looking for music for me to play.
PS: What do you and Victoria do for fun?
KF: We do everything. She was a pro-athlete, so we love playing golf, bowling, etc. We try to keep ourselves doing regular couples' things as much as we can. She'll come to gigs when I play. Even when it's work it's still play. That's what I love about being a DJ.
PS: What is the key to having a successful marriage?
KF: A lot of it comes with age. You get older, and you realize what's really important to you. Definitely having patience and compromising. It has to be something you want. If it's something you don't want, it's not going to work. People expect it to be a fairytale, like a Disney cartoon, but it's not like that. It's real life. It takes hard work and dedication.
Britney Spears' New Perfume Was Inspired by What!?


The months-long streak of mostly dry, 95-plus degree days has been a double-edged sword for Arkansas cotton and soybean producers.
The long streak of dry days has made a mark in Phillips County, Ark., with the yield in early-maturing dryland beans not quite up to the county average for all bean types. A prolonged dry period will spell trouble for later maturing varieties — soybeans that would normally be harvested in late October.
Growers are running water pumps, but "irrigation hasn't gone as far as it normally goes. Soybeans use about three-tenths of an inch of water per day, so the spotty rainfall isn't going to do much.
The triple-digit heat began in June. The National Weather Service reported triple digits at Jonesboro, Ark., on June 21, and El Dorado, Fort Smith and Pine Bluff on June 22. There were four bouts of severe storms July 6-9, 11-13, 15-17 and 25-27, but much of the rainfall was spotty and evaporated quickly.
For cotton producers, the early heat proved beneficial.
In an ideal year, water would be diverted from rice to later maturing soybeans. However, the overall picture in Jefferson County isn't too bad.

The Bloodhound Project Inspired by BLOODHOUND – and now inspiring others
You are here: Inspired by BLOODHOUND –...
Inspired by BLOODHOUND – and now inspiring others
Wednesday, 5 July, 2017
Jess Herbert was inspired by the BLOODHOUND Project to become an engineer and at the end of 2016 she was named runner-up in the 2016 EEF Future Manufacturing Awards in the South-West, following the successful completion of her apprenticeship at Rolls-Royce. She's also one of our valuable team of BLOODHOUND Ambassadors. This is her story.
Becoming a BLOODHOUND Ambassador was, for me, one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. How else are you able to get involved with one of the most exciting engineering challenges on the planet, spread the passion and enjoyment of engineering and inspire the next generation of STEM students all at the same time?
Why BLOODHOUND?
The BLOODHOUND Project was, and still is, what made me fall in love with engineering – it took me from an aspiring marine biologist who knew far too much about sharks and dolphins to someone who took apart calculators and radios just because I wanted to see how they worked, and then became a technical engineering apprentice with Rolls-Royce in 2013.
Without the support and enthusiasm of the team and the excitement of the Project I would never have been able to do even half of what I have achieved over the past four years and as an Ambassador it was my opportunity to give back to the Project and help to spread the bug for engineering further.
"I want to say a huge thank you to the BLOODHOUND team; firstly for giving me the inspiration to become an engineer – something I would never have considered until I was introduced to the project – and secondly for all of the support, encouragement and help over the past three years of my apprenticeship. I am 100% sure I would never have achieved even half of what I have done without BLOODHOUND and hope that as an Ambassador I can help to spread the inspiration and passion for engineering that the project has given me. Having just received my professional registration with the IMechE, I'm looking forward to the future challenges of my first full-time role at Rolls-Royce and will of course be following the Project all the way"
Why be an Ambassador?
It's not often you're given the opportunity to shape the future or inspire the next generation, and there's nothing more gratifying as an Ambassador than hearing that you have helped or inspired someone to get into engineering!
As an Ambassador I have attended a number of events, from the 1K Club through to the Bath & West Show and Royal International Air Tattoo, spreading the story of BLOODHOUND and showing people how engineering isn't all oily overalls and blocks of metal.
I've also done a number of talks and presentations to schools at careers events, telling my story and showing what projects like BLOODHOUND can do for people like me. I even featured in an article for the Telegraph Online and as a case study for the Apprenticeship Levy. The experiences I undertook as part of my apprenticeship were all possible for me because of the Ambassadors that first inspired me in back in 2008, and every great achievement of my career to date has been made possible because of BLOODHOUND.
Being an Ambassador, to me, is being able to work with a whole network of like-minded people to showcase and spread the passion for engineering across the country. It's being able to let people's imagination run wild and challenge the impossible, and it's watching the excitement grow as a group of students race their rocket car for the first time. Most importantly, it's knowing that you have contributed to the BLOODHOUND experience and, perhaps, have in some way inspired the next generation of amazing engineers.
If you are inspired by Jess's story and would like to find out more about becoming an Ambassador, visit the Ambassador's pages on our website.

As I write this, I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my red eye flight to New York's JFK.
I seriously can't believe I'm going to New York Fashion Week. Like, really? REALLY!?!
It has long been a dream of mine to attend the world-famous fashion event, so when even the slightest hint of an invite landed in my inbox last week, I made the last-minute decision to pack my bags and head East.
With a few shows, brand meetings and coffee dates already in my agenda, I can't wait to see where the next four days take me. Wish me luck!

Have a great time! I can't wait to read all about it! So happy for you Aleesha!!


The things you do to get a plant home!!!
Our local garden centre Gamm Vert have reduced lots of their exterior trees and shrubs, now we love a bargain, like most people and all these plants need a good home. That's exactly what Marion and Ian thought, they had their heart set on a fabulous knarley old olive tree but alas we couldn't fit it in the back of the car and they don't deliver. Sowe were about to set off home all fallorn when we spotted a lovely bushy Palm, mmm will we get it in the car? we all asked ourselves. Argh yes we will, well after lots of heaving, pushing and tugging. And here it is in its new home, well temporary home as it will end up by the pool once the decking is finished.

How To Use salesperson In A Sentence
Their main function is to act like an annoying salesperson who wouldn't take no for an answer.
We need to hire a top-flight salesperson.
This story began when Rosemary chucked in her long-time job as a salesperson to join two others in founding GK Pride.
We're all just cogs in the machine - - the shopper, the salesperson, the merchandiser, and even the stockholder depending on them.
The salesperson's identity, perhaps, could be used as the key to draw in any supplementary material and customer details could be populated from their name alone.
Ask the store manager or salesperson for specific instructions.
Among the six women employed in wage jobs who were not working as domestic servants there was a cleaner, a clerk, a salesperson, a packer, a tea person, and a gardener.

Another early start with too much luggage. Checked in for 06.15 flight to Brussels & onward to Freetown, arriving at 6pm. Met at airport to drive straight to Bo. Night driving was tricky, blazing on-coming headlights, destination Bo at 12.30 am – shattered!!
School is as fantastic as ever, with the new Junior Secondary 3, we have 380 pupils on roll. Greeted by smiles and laughter.
New Teachers – Augustine, Mathew and Solomon. Wearing their new OAKS polo shirts.
I met our three new teachers, they all seem to like OAKS after only one month in the job. Mathew told me it was like finding his other family, he loves the camaraderie.
Big problem in the registration of Junior Secondary for their BECE exam in June. Despite our very best efforts we still have no Index Number. This means we have to sit the exam under another schools colours and pay for the privilege! So my first job is to visit the Deputy Director of Education to review progress with this matter.
We have tried everything for a period over three years – letters and personal visits to all the educational agencies involved, but nothing seems to work. Our Department for International Development (DFID) in London and Freetown has been bombarded with requests for help.
Recently via The Minister for International Development, Justine Greening, we now have a contact at DFID Freetown. Sally Taylor rang me twice whilst I was in Bo. Her initial meeting with Education at Freetown has led her to believe registration is a nationwide problem and she will raise our case, however, in all probability it will still take much time to resolve.
Joe, OAKS Head teacher is going to try to arrange a meeting with the Vice President of Sierra Leone, Victor Fou, who has a residence in Lewabu, just over the swamp from us. An introduction to him may help. Will he, or won't he visit Bo whilst I'm here?
I carefully unpacked the precious science equipment donated by Clare Mount and Ridgeway High schools, Wirral. I really wasn't sure how they'd travel in my suitcases, would I be greeted by a pile of broken glass? Hurray!
An excited Patrick, wow, science equipment. Joe, the Head, equally impressed.
All intact. Patrick Goba, the science teacher was duly overwhelmed and speechless. We'd had a new cupboard made last term which has proved surplus to requirements, so we had a ready-made designated housing which is now installed in the storeroom. See how pleased Mathew & Patrick are.
I made an appointment with Bo Education for the following day. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the Deputy Director, there is still no registration number for OAKS Junior Secondary. This is not personal, many schools are suffering; the system is just not working. Questions about the burgeoning backlog of work at the Department for Education, particularly for the approval process of expanding or new schools has even been raised in Sierra Leone's parliament. Mr Swaray as way of compensation, I suppose, invited our Head teacher to present himself at the Education Stores for a supply of new materials.
Supplies from the Department of Education. A new school year & not a text book in sight!
Wow, some text books! Alas ……. it was pens, pencils and registers, but, welcome supplies non the less.
On a happier note, the same day, the Primary school received a visit from Bo Eye Hospital and all the pupils had their vision checked. Some children were given referral appointments.
I travelled from the Department of Education in Bo, just around the corner to Bo Methodist High School. Here I met Patrick our science teacher for an appointment with the Principal. Our 30 pupils in JSS3 will sit their BECE exam at the Methodist High in June. We have to pay one terms school fee per child for this accommodation, Le 35,000, in the region of £130 in total. This is not an expense we were expecting. Primary School exam centres are free. However, we have only just learnt that only the Primary sector is subsidised by the Government. At this late stage, the cost will be met by OAKS, an expensive lesson learnt, next year the parents will pay!
Friday gave me the opportunity to observe our new teachers in action. What a pleasant surprise. They all appear to be effective and already have a nice working relationship with the pupils. There was also time for me to start lesson observations with our other staff.
A hectic few days. Friday evening saw a visit from our mining friend Sam with his rather grown up daughter Aminata, last time I met her she was in Primary and now she's in Senior Secondary! They were quickly followed by a local builder, Claude and his wife Hawa, to discuss the school progress of their eldest son Paul.
Saturday was a day off! A lazy morning reading. At 2pm I was back at school for the inauguration of our Local Chief, Mike Baio. Mike is a recently retired teacher and also the chairman of OAKS School Management Committee.
Sierra Leone Clowns. The one with the large sunglasses and the flippers on his feet has a daughter in OAKS Primary.
Local native dancing entertaining at the Town Chief's inauguration. Venue OAKS School playground.
The playground had sheltered 'baffas' erected and furniture arranged for the event. Quite a programme of speeches, singing and native dancing. Many local dignitaries attended, including Tikonko's Paramount Chief. I left after all the formalities at about 7pm but the party was in full swing until dawn!
I settled down to watch the film Amistad. A gritty slave trial set in the United States court system pre American Civil War. Based on a powerful true story about the West African slave trade via Sierra Leone. Excellent cast – Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Mathew Conaughey & Djimom Hounson. Senge Pieh, 1813 – 1879 was the slave leader & spokesman for the group in court, his place in history is celebrated and remembered with his image appearing on the Sierra Leonean currency, the 5,000 Leone note (£0.65).
Sunday was spent auditing the books. A chore best dealt with right away, allowing time to resolve any problems. Fortunately as usual very little to cross check or query and quickly resolved on Monday. Late afternoon there was a little light relief, our local builders popped in to say hello, Lawrence and Mustapha have built OAKS House and constructed our two new classrooms in 2013 and 2014.
Most of my following week seemed to be consumed by paperwork, collating information, statistics and resolving various issues arising from employment, time tabling, repairs, school intake, examinations and the extra tuition required purely to resolve the reduced lesson time constraints of a two term school year.
OAKS House veranda with Rey Jarrett, the school bursar. All bookwork thoroughly checked.
The analysis of the time table showed a great inequity in staff free time. In the Infants sector there were staff with no free time at all whilst higher up the school some had as many as 15 free periods! Class 1, also did not have enough cover.
Five years ago we agreed that Class 1 was such a high priority that we assigned a teacher and a classroom assistant. With expansion, Isata their Class teacher and our only Home Economics specialist, she has been called upon to teach her Option subject to Class 5 through to JSS3. Classroom assistant Max, because he is studying to become a teacher via Distant Learning is due to qualify this August, so, he has been given the experience of teaching in other classes, Class 4 and Class 5 as well as Class 1.
What a juggling act. Hopefully staff 'free time' is now sorted. The Head teacher has had his contact time reduced, the Infant staff now have some free periods and Class 1 is well catered for. All is not equal, but it is much fairer than it was.
Time to get to know some of Junior Secondary School. Notice the uniform innovation the pupils have chosen to distinguish JSS3 from the other JSS classes – long sleeves and a green bow, very smart. . I conducted a few mini interviews with JSS 2 & 3. How do they feel about OAKS and what are their hopes & aspirations for the future?
Vandy, JSS 2. He loves OAKS and would like to train to be a doctor.
Satta, JSS3. She wants a career in commerce and to become a Bank Manager.
They are very ambitious. Obviously aiming for careers with good job prospects and a reasonable wage structure. No takers for teaching!!
Friday was a break from paperwork, time to sort the library. It is the dry season and everywhere is very dusty. We have had some donations of books which were shipped out from the UK courtesy of St Anselm's in Birkenhead. However, I am conscious of two things – there are no books suitable for beginners and all books have a very western theme, rather alien to the African culture. However, perfect for reading practise. The library is really only suitable for Class 5 upwards. It will probably not be used properly until the next school year when we are back to three terms and the pressure to cram the curriculum is not so great.
Friday afternoon was a great change for the pupils, a football match, Class 6 & the Newcomers v Junior Secondary. A closely fought game, the final score a draw, 3 all.
The Home Economics department enjoyed a practical lesson whilst the game took place, grilling fish on their charcoal burners and serving it with a pasta salad. Smelt and tasted divine.
Lucy Kposowa led her CPA (Creative Practical Arts) group JSS2 in the making of soap, utilising the 'Option' room, during the match. Fascinating procedure and an easy way to make some extra household income in the future, for our pupils.
I've brought back soap samples for Nic & I to try!
Friday night in the House compound, all the children, seven or eight in total piled in for a screening of 'Finding Nemo'. Went down well, despite there being no pop or popcorn.
Saturday afternoon I'd arranged to meet Joe the Head and Moses the Chairman of the Parent/Community Teachers Association. We walked up to the land owned by Nic and Margaret, known as the 24 Town Lots (a town Lot is 70'x80').
Moses & Joe viewing the scale of the clearance job. Note all the development in the background.
We strolled around the perimeter looking at the amount of vegetation and discussed how it could be cut down and burnt ready for May.
An area has been cleared by the local youth, it's used as a football pitch. The foliage cover varies considerably across the plot, the bottom area which is a little swampy is extremely overgrown, it hasn't been cleared for years.
The OAKS parents want to use a large portion of the 24 Town Lots for Sports Day 2017, this is incredibly important to them. Due to Ebola there have been no sports meetings since early 2014. The only way to explain its importance is to compare it to Christmas; it's like Christmas times 5!!
Nic is keen for the whole area to be cleared so he can survey the land, to consider further and future development. The whole of Bo is expanding apace. Our area in Mendewa used to be mostly bush land, it's now being rapidly cleared and farmed and then built on. Our school is no longer big enough to serve the Community. In our area there is a small private Primary and Junior Secondary school plus two very small Muslim Primary schools. There is no Senior Secondary School in the vicinity at all. Children have to travel into Bo itself, where those facilities are bursting at the seams.
On the way back home from the 'Twenty four Town Lots', Joe took me to look at Ebic, a school close to us. Our Primary charges Le 25,000 per term (£3), their fee is Le 100,000 (£12), we are both a lot cheaper than the big Private Schools whose fee are in the region of £100/ term.
Ebic is a work in progress, classrooms are bare block, there are no ceilings or internal doors, it certainly makes OAKS look quite palatial.
On top of school fees, OAKS parents with a child in JSS 3 have agreed to the following extra costs: Digital registration for each pupil Le 25,000, Mock paper Le 20,000 and Extra tuition Le 40,000 – a total of Le 85,000 (£10.50). Parents with a child in Class 6 have agreed to Le 15,000 for Registration and Le 30,000 Study fee, total Le 45,000 (£5.50). It does not sound like much, but these are difficult sums of money to find for many of our parents.
Rita, 12 years old, Class 6, wants to stay on at OAKS for Junior Secondary.
Nat, Class 6, aged 14. Moved from his village to live with grandpa. Would love to stay at OAKS for a good education.
My final week was very mixed. Thursday was suddenly declared a public holiday, this was great, a lie in and then the rest of the day producing mini biographies for OAKS staff and some of the pupils.
Tuesday, our new teacher Mr Sandy had requested I do a demonstration lesson, a double lesson! Grammar & Essay Writing. The grammar was difficult, 'Question Tags', basically rhetorical questions, if the statement is positive then the question is negative and vice versa eg: We're going out at 7.30, aren't we? Planning was challenging. He marked me according to a 'Lesson Observation Format' I'd given him. I scored reasonably well, although marked down harshly for my inappropriate sentences for an African culture!! A good exercise, we both learnt something.
I completed my lesson observations and really enjoyed working with all of the classes. It's wonderful to work with children who show such enthusiasm and genuine appreciation for whatever you do for them. They're very polite and smiley. Such a buzz!
Friday evening 4pm was a CTA or parent's meeting.
OAKS school hall. Vibrant meeting with parents.
We managed to start reasonably promptly and the hall steadily filled with parents. We had to move our table backwards twice and send for more chairs. In the end it was a very well attended evening. Parents are very vocal and strident in their opinions. Eventually the meeting concluded at 7pm. The main event was the discussion of the clearing and burning of the 24 Town Lots. It was resolved that they, the parents, would clear it all. The CTA would use the money OAKS Board was prepared to advance, to pay the physically capable parents and they would share the work between them. We wish them well.
Saturday morning, school was very interesting, all the classes were represented, except Class 1 and Class 4, all engaged in a variety of curriculum activities. I particularly enjoyed the maths.
Mathew with JSS3. Saturday morning extra maths class.
New teacher Mathew Yamba explains well and easily allows pupils to declare a non-understanding of process, he just repeats more slowly and considers if there are smaller steps which could be introduced to assist understanding. They were engaged in the formula to find the area of a triangle.
There was a parallel Community meeting in the school hall for the local men that morning too. Bo is experiencing a crime wave, a particularly unpleasant group are moving around the main area of Bo. Mendewa is organising its own neighbourhood watch under the supervision of a local policeman. There is now a vigilante patrol each night in the small hours, each household has contributed Le 10,000 (£1.25) to support the patrol volunteers. It is hoped this scheme will completely deter.
I had a deputation from a group of pupils in Junior Secondary 3, they called at the house at lunch time. They belong to OAKS 'Kid's Club' which was started in 2014. They want to be registered with the Department of Social Welfare, Gender and Children's Affairs so they can apply to World Vision for sponsorship.
The Committee. Deputation from the Kid's Club.
They meet after school on a Thursday each week for an hour and discuss and debate topics of their choice which affect them, such as the local environment, teenage pregnancy etc. This club is open to anyone at OAKS. They have a constitution, a committee and their motto is 'Voice for the Voiceless'.
They were a little miffed that Scouts are getting all of the attention. They too would like a uniform – just a bright yellow polo shirt with the school logo and the name of their club. Uncle Nic will have to look for some sponsorship!
At 2pm I was back at school for the investiture of the Scouts. They each received their 'World Scout Badge.' Five scouts from the local organisation carried out the ceremony, it was fun.
Scouts receiving their World Badge & reciting their Motto.
Teatime, 5pm, I was collected by Mohammed 'the bike' and taken via Honda to meet Local Town Chief Mike Baio in Bo at a bar/disco called 'After Work'. A most enjoyable couple of hours chatting to a few teachers from the area. Only two beers, a third and I would have fallen off the bike on the way home!
Saturday evening it was a treat for the children of the compound, we watched 'High School Musical 3'. Alusine, 4 years old, more or less slept through it all, the other kids thought it was great fun.
Sunday I had another visit from Sam the mines inspector. He hopes he will receive a good promotion in the next round of improving and updating the mines inspectorate.
My last day. I'm the 'Happy Snapper', lots of photographs. Mid-day – 2pm we had a staff meeting, gathering together all the threads from my visit and planning ahead for the next one. What new things to be addressed?
A rather sour note. Francis Rogers, teacher of Agriculture and Social Studies, was not in school for my last day. He had a severe altercation with a female neighbour, she totally trashed his house, assaulted and robbed him. He came to school to explain and to apologise for his absence before he returned to the Police Station, I have to say, he really looked dreadful. We wish him well and hope the affair is sorted.
Tuesday, up early and rang Francis. He has an appointment with an important police officer at 10am, he certainly sounded a lot better and more positive.
Lagor pupils, Class 1 & 2. Not much classroom furniture.
Primary, they have been in receipt of a grant from The Kitchen Table Charity, John Humphries, Radio 4. Found it …. It was down a narrow dirt track about a mile and a half inland from the Highway.
Three teachers in charge of 150 children and only two of them salaried – we really don't know how lucky we are in 'The West'. Perhaps on a future visit we could offer them some small amount of practical help.
It was an easy journey to the airport, it took about four and a half hours. Lungi Airport Departures has greatly improved, sailed through booking in and security. Sitting finishing my report and enjoying 'a cold one'!
Restaurant at Lungi Airport. Cheers!
Flight due in three hours. Arrive in Brussels at about 5.00am, Manchester late morning and home for lunch.
Time to catch up on domesticity and farming with hopefully a little teaching thrown in …….. need to finance my next adventure.
Laurel. Tuesday/Wednesday 23rd/24th February 2016.
