Little Women – Review
By Eamon Hennedy 30 December 2019 29 December 2019
Leave a Comment on Little Women – Review
Have you ever walked into a cinema, started to watch a movie, and then realised that you're falling in love with it as it screens before you? And that you are in fact watching something so perfectly formed that it makes you thankful that movies were ever invented?
Wowing everyone with her directorial debut two years ago, all eyes were on what Greta Gerwig would do for her follow up to Lady Bird. And while making a new interpretation of a famed American novel that has been adapted numerous times before might seem like a strange choice for someone who gained critical acclaim and award nominations for something that felt as personal as Lady Bird, upon viewing Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women, it really shouldn't come as a surprise that she was the perfect choice to bring a new version of the story of the March sisters to the screen.
Every piece of casting is perfect. The restructuring of Louisa May Alcott's novel gives the storytelling and events within it a new potency; the lush cinematography is gorgeous; Alexandre Desplat's score is sweeping and romantic; and everything is brought together beautifully by Gerwig in a way that is so alive to the possibilities of life, love and cinema that you cannot help but fall in love with it instantly.

There have been numerous adaptations of the novel over the years, not just confined to film but also on television, with perhaps the highest-profile adaptation coming twenty-five years ago courtesy of Gillian Armstrong – a film that also boasted a high profile cast. A new version could signify, once again, the lack of imagination in Hollywood, but Gerwig makes her version of the story count, with an adaptation that she has written and directed that retains the gorgeous storytelling of Alcott's novel, albeit this time restructured in a way that never loses the audience and which is differentiated magnificently by how each part of the story's timeline is lit, and which filters the story and the lives of the March family and their tribulations through a modern prism.
This may be a period drama, but it is one that is unmistakably as much about being a woman today, with the plight of each one of the lead characters retaining a relevance that is not lost on Gerwig. Some of the dialogue and conversations might strike some as very modern for a period drama, but it brings Alcott's novel up to date while retaining an identity as a gorgeously put together period drama.
Best of all, Gerwig once again shows herself to be a tremendous director and writer of coming of age stories. Whilst this is a story that has originated from famous source material, in the space of two films she has shown that she is not only a writer/director whose films are worthy of instant praise and should be seen as soon as possible on a big screen, but also a magnificent chronicler on being a girl coming of age.

There is, of course, a mini Lady Bird reunion going on here, what with Saorise Ronan heading the cast (and how amazing would it be to see Gerwig and Ronan become the powerhouse female director and actress collaboration that has been severely lacking in Hollywood), playing a lead character in a complex relationship with a male character played by Timothee Chalamet, and a supporting role for Tracey Letts. But this is a remarkably different film in every way, indicating Gerwig as a chameleonic director who is able to craft a film that retains a lot of connective tissue but can still feel fresh and different to what has come before.
Lady Bird felt very real and emotionally raw; a very indie-flavoured teen movie, made to look as if it was filmed in 16mm, but Little Women is lush and beautiful, a gorgeously put together period drama that deserves to become a favourite with current audiences and future generations. Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson and Eliza Scanlen are perfect choices for each of the March siblings, playing each of their roles to perfection, with Pugh reminding us for the third time this year that we're witnessing the emergence of a great actress, Ronan confirming herself, as if we need reminding, that she is at the forefront of acting talent on screen today, and the film as a whole leaving one awaiting the next Greta Gerwig film.
In an era when gender diversity is at the forefront of many discussions within the film industry, Little Women is a film that is driven and defined by female talent and is so punch the air brilliant you'll simply want to watch it again as soon as the credits roll.

Last week, the Michigan Chamber testified before the House Energy Committee in opposition to House Bill 4708 because it would have increased the cost of energy for employers and residential customers through a special carve out for schools – a clear deviation from the state's new Chamber-backed energy policy that requires all customers' electric rates be based on cost of service. Once the door is opened to carve outs, subsidies and rate shifts, it just means higher and higher electric rates for everyone left behind.
Thanks to the Chamber's strong and swift opposition, it appears HB 4708 will not receive a vote and will hopefully never return.
For more information, contact Jason Geer, Director of Energy & Environmental Policy for the Michigan Chamber, at (517) 371-7673 or jgeer@michamber.com.


With many parents nervously awaiting the outcome of school applications, this article is aimed at those families who don't get the decision that they want and provides advice on the schools appeals process. For those parents who have not been through the appeals system, it can seem incredibly daunting with a minefield of information to consider. We are aware it can be an anxious time for both parents and children, therefore we hope that the following information will provide you with all the guidance that you need to appeal a negative school decision (whether your child is going to an infant, junior or secondary school) and top tips for a successful outcome.
If the transition to a new school in September will mean that you need to reconsider wrap-around care for your child, or if you would like any further information or help on finding nurseries, schools or childcare then please do contact us at Parental Choice as we can help.
We hope that you get the decision that you want and can celebrate the good news with your child on these dates. However, if you are not successful and you receive a letter from your local authority stating that your child has not got a place at your chosen school, what happens next? Firstly, do not panic and try not to get upset – especially in front of your child. Obviously, a negative decision is hugely disappointing but don't forget that there are things that you can do. You do not want to create unnecessary anxiety for your child, or for them to pick up on any undesirable views that you may have on a certain school which may be harmful to them in the future.
Some parents will choose to accept the negative decision and simply add their child to the waiting list of their preferred school. There is often movement within the next few months before the academic year begins, and it may well be that by the time your child is due to start school sufficient spaces will have opened up for your child to be offered a place. You can contact the local authority or the school directly to find out your position on the waiting list. However, please be aware that you can move up and down the waiting list as children move in and out of the catchment area.
If you do wish to proceed with making an appeal, then keep calm and read the letter that you have received carefully. This will tell you how to make an appeal against the school decision and the deadline by which you need to do this.
NB Please be aware that the appeal deadline is usually around one month from the confirmation letter stating that your child has not gained a place – therefore do not delay in preparing your appeal!
It is worth noting that you must inform the admission authority of your decision to appeal in writing – you'll then be given a date for your appeal hearing at least ten days in advance. If you applied to more than one school (and have been rejected from more than one school) then you must appeal against each rejection separately. It is ok to appeal even you have already accepted another school – this will not jeopardise your place in any way, or mean that you end up having two school places allocated for your child.
If you decide to appeal on social or medical grounds, these need to be specific to the school that you have applied to and you must try and show that only this particular school can cater for your child's needs. For instance an appeal is unlikely to succeed on medical grounds for asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or allergies, for example, as all schools should be capable of providing support or additional help to children with these conditions.
Similarly, all schools should be well equipped to support children through the transition from nursery/preschool to reception class. Obviously some children will have difficulty settling in at school, and it can be heart-breaking if your child has to change from a nursery in one school to a reception class in another. However, an appeal panel is unlikely to consider this as grounds for upholding an appeal because of strategies and procedures in place at all schools to help any children that may struggle to make new friends or get used to new surroundings.
It can be extremely difficult to win an appeal on the grounds that the decision to refuse your child a place wasn't reasonable, so make sure that you do lots of research and prepare your case thoroughly. For an appeal to be successful, it needs to be proven that the admission criteria have not been applied correctly and/or that admitting your child would not cause prejudice to the school.
Appeals for Junior and Secondary Schools.
The good news is that for 8+ year olds there is no class size limit. For junior and secondary schools, the appeal process has two stages. Please try not to get too bogged down with the technicalities/legal jargon involved with these. It perhaps sounds more complicated than it actually is!
This is a tricky one to appeal against and according to appeals legal advice websites, most admissions arrangements are compliant with the mandatory requirements.
In most cases, the panel will be arguing that to admit your child would cause 'prejudice to the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources'.
The year group is not yet full and the school building has capacity for more pupils.
Classrooms generally accommodate more than 30. Are the forms in the year group less than 30? If so, perhaps larger groups could be taught without difficulty.
Are some year groups larger than others? If so, the school has been able to manage larger groups in the past, in which case it should be able to manage larger groups now.
Are there fewer pupils with special educational needs in the relevant year group? You might be able to argue that there is spare teaching capacity.
Set out your arguments as clearly as possible and double check all the data that you are relying on. It will help you to speak with confidence if you have notes and information regarding where the facts and figures were obtained from, and this will also ensure that the panel are aware that you are citing trusted sources of information.
The school prospectus and website might be a good place to start when researching the ethos of the school, its teaching practices, curriculum and culture, so that you can make your appeal as specific to your chosen school as possible.
Try to set out your grounds for appeal in line with Stage 1 and Stage 2 (as applicable) and make your document as clear and concise as possible. All cases are looked at individually as to whether the parent's case outweighs the prejudice to the school, so every piece of evidence that you can gather or point that you can make in support of your application is crucial, especially as if there are more cases which outweigh prejudice than the school can admit, then the school will go with the strongest case. You want your case to stand head and shoulders above all the other applications to guarantee success.
As previously mentioned, the appeals process can be extremely competitive – so much so, that some parents choose to go to agencies who fill in all the forms for a fee. To support your application make sure that you prove your points! Try and provide reports that back up your case and obtain letters from anyone independent, e.g. doctors or health visitors, etc., who will agree with you. We would also recommend looking at the school profile, inspection report and policies etc. to support your case so that you can tailor your arguments to the individual school in question.
The very fact that you are appealing the school decision in the first place shows that you have strong feelings as to why your child would thrive in their setting. Try and explain why you feel so passionately that this school would be the best place for your child and concentrate on this, not on why an alternative school would be bad.
Your application will hold more weight if you can verify your information thoroughly. Vigorously check that the points that you are making are true and correct. If a point you have made proves subsequently to be incorrect, this could undermine the rest of your case.
So what happens on the day? Try not to be too nervous or daunted by the prospect of the appeal hearing. Everybody involved in the process wants to find the best solution to the situation and you are certainly not on trial! To mentally prepare yourself for what will happen at the meeting, please be aware that the room may appear quite full at the hearing. There will be three panel members, yourself and anyone else you wish to bring with you for support (for example, a friend, relative or a representative to help make your case), an officer from the council representing the admission's service and the clerk to the appeal panel.
All panel members are given full training in the law relating to the admission of children into schools, and the rights of appeal that parents have. None of the panel members will have an interest in the school you are appealing for, so please do not feel that they are looking for ways to not accept your child or that they have any vested interest in keeping numbers down at the school you are applying for.
Once the appeal hearing begins, you will be invited to say why you're appealing against the school's decision. You may wish to take with you an outline script or notes that will help to prompt you if you feel that you may become nervous or lose your train of thought under pressure. It would be a great shame to leave the meeting without feeling that you have conveyed your points as accurately and completely as possible, so don't be afraid to take your time on the day to address your notes and check that you have covered everything that is relevant.
Remember to also bring with you any additional evidence or documents with you – like a doctor's letter if there are medical needs – to back up your case. These will be reviewed by the panel and all the evidence put together by you will aid the panel to decide whose case is stronger – yours or the school's.
You will not be told the decision on the day, but the final decision (which is legally binding) will be communicated to you within 5 working days.
If your appeal is successful, your child will be given a place at the school. If your appeal is unsuccessful, you can still put your child's name on the school's waiting list but unfortunately there is nothing further you can do to appeal the school's decision.

When money is no object…or you've just robbed a bank.
The home of blatant consumerism is back to steal your monies. This is Shut Up & Take My Money, your friendly neighbourhood friend that knows what you want before you do.
When a Canadian bicycle maker and Italian supercar maker team up, this is the result. The P5X features some of the boldest lines ever seen on a triathlon bike and it performs exactly how it looks – bloody fast. The space age bike features advanced racing technology which isn't specified but looking at the price tag and the design, expect lots of carbon fibre and cutting edge aerodynamics. Besides the vented disc brakes front and rear, the P5X also features a striking black and yellow paint job with Lamborghini's signature 'Y' motif. Only 25 examples will be made so if you have a spare $20,000 to drop, you better move fast.
Another fine whisky has dropped on our radar and this time it comes from Scottish distillery The Dalmore who have unveiled a limited 500 bottle run of their coveted 45-year-old single malt. The Dalmore 45 will be made available globally on April 1st (no joke) and is almost guaranteed to skyrocket in price over time. US$12,500 per bottle will afford lucky buyers an accompanying decanter designed by the French crystal house Baccarat. The liquid gold meanwhile has been aged in multiple casks of American white oak ex-bourbon origin before being transferred into two different Vintage Graham's Port Colheita pipes. Don't mix Coke with this one.
You might not have the swagger of JT but you can certainly live like him. The mega star has listed his his SoHo apartment for sale for a cool US$7,995,000. The New York City penthouse features 80-square metres of prime real estate in a wraparound terrace design. There's also a fireplace, electric shades, and three bedrooms. There's also marbled floor heating in the bathroom and a frameless glass shower. If that doesn't tickle your fancy there's a fitness room and 24-hour door guy/concierge to make sure you can slip in and out of home in privacy.
Designer pool table. That's all that needs to be said. Okay, we'll say a bit more. This one comes from accomplished designer Sean Woolsey and his latest efforts involves a beautiful unit crafted from American black walnut. This is further paired with a black powder coated stainless steel base and black tour felt to polish off the look. Drop pockets? You guessed it. Black leather.
Ever wanted your own car museum, cars included? That can be arranged. The Malibu Auto Museum is up for sale and it comes with 650 square metres of floor space basking in natural light. There's a large driveway complete with semi-trailer access for easy pick-up and delivery, and there's humidity, temperature and dust control to ensure your prized steeds stay in top shape. The current owner is also open to off-loading some of his rides to the right buyer so keep those cheque books open.
Ignore the douchey name and the Superfly GTO is actually a pretty sweet Nordic-built vessel that oozes charm and charisma on the seas. The rear of the cockpit features twin lounges made for socialising or lounging on. The heavily sculpted design evokes supercar proportions complete with flat rear tail lamps, but it's not just the looks that are fast. The Superfly GTO 42 features carbon fibre construction and a top speed of 50 knots. When it's time to slow down and bask in the finer fruits of life, there's a dining table, large bathroom and stateroom with a king sized bed. Giggity.

Winter Season Brings Hope, Awards and Community to KALW and Audio Academy Members
Posted by Martha Sessums on Dec 17, 2020 in ACE Learning Center, ACE School Report, Continuing Education | 0 comments
By Ben Trefny, News Director, KALW, Audience Supported Public Media and Wren Farrell, Audio Academy '21
Winter is upon us. Despite the largely dreadful year we've worked through, I feel like this final season is one of hope. Perhaps it's the COVID-19 vaccine that just started to be distributed. Perhaps it's because I know we can come together to overcome extraordinary challenges. I've seen it. Altogether, we've seen it all this year, and there's reason for optimism.
I just spent many hours reflecting on the ACE Spectrum blog posts KALW has produced throughout the year, and it sure has been a busy one. Thanks, as always, to ACE for the extraordinarily generous and open-hearted support that makes our work as journalists training journalists possible. It's more reason for hope, and it continues to ripple out farther and farther.
To that point, we recently received uplifting news. Audio Academy graduate Christine Nguyen ('18) was honored with an award from the Asian American Journalism Association. She won the AAPI Excellence prize for her story Vietnamese Immigrants Care For Parents With Dementia, Amidst Stigma.
ABOUT THE PROJECT: Infused with personal experience and heartfelt storytelling, Christine Nguyen's audio reporting explores dementia and its surrounding stigma, as well as the disproportional impact it has on Asian communities. Through the intimate relationship with a Vietnamese immigrant family, Nguyen breaks down the intricacies surrounding the condition from its causes to the responses currently in place.
JUDGES' REMARKS: Nicely produced piece, with natural weaving of current and past events together. I imagine finding a Vietnamese family that was willing to open themselves up to interview for this piece and building that trust with them was not easy. It deftly avoids similar podcast pratfalls that turns the subject and viewer relationship into one that is patronizing, overly preachy, or overly dramatic. Overall, this was well done and holds its gravitas on multiple listens.
Congratulations, Christine! We're very proud, and excited to rebroadcast that story for our audience in early January. Incredibly, that's just a few weeks away.
One of our current Audio Academy fellows is Wren Farrell. He's been doing a wonderful job reporting spots, including:
U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Ends Plans To Dredge San Francisco Bay
Does Getting A COVID-19 Test Mean You Can Safely Travel? Probably Not
California's COVID-19 Vaccine Committee
Now, I have the pleasure of editing a feature he's currently making about a farmer in Davis, and how she's been dealing with the pandemic.
Here are some thoughts from Wren about his experience with us so far:
Wren Farrell
When I was accepted into KALW's Audio Academy I had no idea what to expect. I'd watched as COVID-19 changed industries all around me, some adapting easily to remote work, others being virtually destroyed. I was nervous that I wasn't going to be able to do my job as well, or that my experience in the Audio Academy was going to be compromised in some way. I was worried I wasn't going to learn as much, or as quickly, as I wanted to, or that my relationship to the mentors, teachers, and other fellows was going to feel shallow and unaffecting. That I'd regret my decision to stay in the Bay, despite its new limitations.
Fortunately, my fears and doubts were all completely unfounded. KALW has done a tremendous job of adapting its teaching program to being remote. The teachers and mentors are accomplished, kind, and patient people. I leave each newsroom day with a sense of accomplishment and excitement to work more in the future. I look forward to our weekly seminars not only because of what I have been getting out of them, but also because of how much fun it is to spend time with a group of like-minded people, learning about things that we are all interested in.
Quarantining has been hard. I miss seeing my friends and family. I miss doing things, and going out, and talking to strangers. I miss bars and restaurants and movie theaters. I miss getting hugged. While the Audio Academy doesn't replace all that, it's become a source of community that I desperately, desperately needed. It's become a source of grounding, an escape from the unending monotony that has been this year. I am so grateful for the time that I've spent at KALW, and I am excited for what's to come.
Learning English in Oakland International High School's Refugee and Immigrant Class is a Challenge Met with True Grit
By Martha Sessums, President, ACE
It's not easy learning English, especially if one's native language has no sound or spelling connections to English. It's one thing for an English speaker (me) to learn French (I try), a romance language that shares the same alphabet and many of the same words. It's a test of true grit to learn English if your home country is Eritrea and the language you know is Tigrinya written in Ge'ez script (ትግርኛ). Or from Vietnam where the language is written using chū-Nôm (Tiếng Việt) a script using Chinese and locally invented characters.
But the adult students attending the online ACE Learning Center class, a partnership between Oakland International High School (OIHS) and Refugee & Immigrant Transitions (RIT), show their grit at each class. First, they show up because they want to. They want to learn and practice useful vocabulary and sentences to help them communicate and succeed in their jobs, at the grocery store, at doctor's offices etc. Second, it's on Zoom which has some benefits such as not having to drive to a class but can falter as the in-person experience of learning on a screen.
I had the honor of joining a recent online Intermediate Class. The RIT instructor, Cara Lazarus, worked at engaging each student, calling them by name to ask questions or make sure they understood. The lesson was how to make a daily schedule, including times and events. The homework was to create their own schedule and send it via What's App to Lazarus, or "Teacher" as she was called by her students.
I then was allowed to ask some questions to the students. My first one was why do they want to take this English class?
Meaza at work.
"I want to improve my English language," said Meaza, a newly arrived student from Eritrea. "I want to speak in English and have good pronunciation and listen."
Sharefa is from Afghanistan and wants to learn English to communicate when she goes to the doctor or the grocery store. "Also, very important for me is I'm ready for being a citizen."
Gamila, in the U.S. one month from Yemen, said she wanted to help herself and her husband. "I want to understand everything in English," she said.
"Everything is difficult," said Afra from Yemen. "Sometimes I understand but I don't talk."
Teacher Lazarus agreed and talked about needing to find the right word order for fluency. Even the doctor appointment sequence of name, date and time must be understood. Pronunciation is key too.
Basery from Afghanistan, who is an Uber and Lyft driver, needs to understand and be understood in English. "Sometimes it's very difficult," he said. "Like, the way we pronounce is different. When we are talking, they can't understand us and it's a difficult thing for us."
So is practicing English daily. Aisha is from Yemen and she speaks English daily with her husband, family and friends for practice. "My husband must speak English at work, but I find it difficult to speak because I don't understand everything."
For some of the students, finding another English speaker to practice the language with is hard. Minh has been in the U.S. a year from Vietnam and works in a Vietnamese company. No one in her family speaks English, but she uses the class as her place to practice.
"I want to speak English but there is no one I talk to except the friends in the class," she said. "I like it."
What is hardest for these students in learning English? Aisha said writing is difficult and all the students agreed. They also agreed that the easiest part is reading.
"You see the words and you don't have to think about putting them together," said Lazarus.
Meaza's mesob basket she displayed for Show & Tell.
The class ended with Show and Tell, and it was Meaza's turn. She showed her hand-woven mesob basket made of grass and palm leaves died in red and green traditional designs. It's a tall basket with a pedestal, has a lid and is often used to hold snacks like popcorn. Meaza also uses it to hold her fermenting injura batter (a plastic wrap protects the basket) which she then bakes into flat pancakes, a traditional bread in Eritrean cuisine. Questions were asked about the mesob and Meaza answered. Even Show and Tell was an English lesson.
With that, class was done, and students were off to deal with the rest of their lives and find time to do their homework. They are an amazing and inspiring set of students, and Lazarus was a professional teacher with much kindness, patience and obvious joy for her job.
Thank you OIHS and RIT for being a part of an ACE Learning Center that makes a difference. The students have the grit to consistently show up and learn English which is obviously an important part of their lives.
Reflections on The Pandemic from an Oakland International High School Leader
Posted by Martha Sessums on Dec 8, 2020 in ACE Learning Center, ACE School Report, Continuing Education | 0 comments
By Carmelita Reyes, Founding Principal of Oakland International High School
This year of distance learning has challenged educators, parents, and students alike. A casual scroll through my Facebook feed illuminates a multitude of complaints in posts by teachers in my school district, the parents of my kids' friends who don't know how to support their children, and teenagers moaning about boring online lessons.
Carmelita Reyes, Founding Principal of Oakland International High School
I have a unique perspective on the issue as I identify with all three groups. I became the primary distance learning parent this spring when schools closed and my 1st and 4th grader started online classes. The demands distance learning has put upon parents is entirely unreasonable. Parents are not teachers, computer technicians, or adequate replacement for peer socialization. We feel like failures. When I'm not working or parenting, I'm a doctoral student at UC Davis. This semester, all my classes are virtual, and I sit in zoom seminars from 9 am to 5 pm. At the end of the day, I'm a zoom zombie. In my professional life, I lead workshops and professional learning communities for district leaders who are learning how to support newly arrived immigrant students. During the pandemic, these workshops transitioned online. All of a sudden, I was a novice teacher struggling to create meaningful experiences in a virtual classroom.
I can honestly say that I don't know who has it worse – the students sitting in front of zoom, the teachers having to re-think everything they know about how to deliver a lesson, or the parents who are stressed out supporting their kids at home. I think it is a tie and we should be sympathetic to all sides.
My own kids have missed lessons because we lost track of time or the zoom link didn't work. Teachers' directions were not clear – kids were frustrated. I'm frustrated. I've had more than a few fights with my kids who tell me, "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" I have teaching awards that say otherwise, but this impresses no one in my house. The little one keeps disappearing from class when I'm not looking. His browser history shows a bunch of sites with poop jokes. Last week, I received a note from the teacher of my oldest child – he is missing several assignments including his mastery project. On Thursday the youngest somehow broke off the jack of his earphones inside the Chromebook. He could not hear or speak to his classmates for the rest of the day … This is the nonsense that happens in one of the most well-resourced homes in the county. Once upon a time, I was the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) teacher of the year; I served as a principal at Oakland International High School (OIHS) for a dozen years. We have the money, technology, and the know-how to support our kids. We are all doing our best, and it is still a hot mess.
It sounds like I have a lot to complain about, yet my family's frustrations can't compare to what is happening to some of our most vulnerable students – newly arrived immigrants in OUSD. They don't have parents who can navigate technology or adapt lessons to meet their needs. Their parents can't write emails in English to teachers asking for directions to be clarified. Their parents can't procure new headphones when they break.
Thanks to philanthropy, we have been able to put technology into the hands of Oakland students. Technology alone doesn't make distance learning valuable it only makes it possible. Oakland International is staffed by some of the best teachers in the district. Yet, distance learning has rendered them and all other educators clumsy novices struggling to master new means of teaching in a virtual space. Even those who have incorporated new techniques into their toolbox have found them not nearly as effective as in person learning. Distance learning is a poor substitute for the rich interactions and differentiated instruction that previously characterized our school.
Perhaps the most distressing manifestation of the challenges of distance learning is the "blank screen" syndrome. In OUSD and most other Bay Area communities, students are not required to be "on camera." There are a lot of valid reasons for this policy — poor internet connections and a family's right to privacy to name a couple. However, the result is that teachers are not looking at a bunch of teenagers on zoom. Typically, teachers look out into a sea of blank screens. They teach into a void. Teachers lack visual cues of confusion, interest, boredom, or enthusiasm on the faces of students. They don't know who is paying attention. In this scenario it is almost impossible to create an environment of student collaboration and peer to peer communication, conditions necessary for learning to take place. Instead, teacher talk dominates.
OIHS students are from 32 countries and speak over 30 languages.
For any student, this learning environment is problematic. For English language learners, it is catastrophic. To learn English, students must spend the majority of their time producing and practicing language. In "blank screen land" even the most experienced teachers find it incredibly difficult to solicit authentic peer to peer interaction. Instead of closing the learning gap between native English speakers and immigrant students, we are watching it widen.
The news of a vaccine allows us to start visioning a post-Covid future. This future must include a substantial investment in addressing the needs of English language learners who were disproportionately negatively impacted by distance learning. This means summer school, tutoring, and a longer school day once we return to in person learning. This won't be free. Post pandemic, states do not have the budget to remediate learning gaps. The Biden administration must work with Congress to find the money to support this level of intervention.
Before I end this reflection on a doom and gloom note, I'd like to highlight some amazing work at Oakland International High School during the past nine months. The wellness staff addressed a critical need in the immigrant community, food insecurity, by mobilizing dozens of volunteers to build and deliver food boxes full of staples and vegetables each week. Teachers in our media department mastered and shared new online platforms for student learning. Administrators totally reinvented the master schedule to limit the number of classes students take at any one time, allowing teachers to focus on and support a smaller set of students. Teachers who saw students in our dual enrollment program struggle in community college classes, created a support class this semester to ensure students could successfully navigate both their high school and college coursework.
Oakland International is a place where students thrive, largely because the adults in the school are empowered to create and re-create systems of support as students' academic and social emotional needs change. It is hard to watch students and teachers struggling right now, but I don't doubt we will come out the other side of this pandemic with our school intact. And while it may feel like everyone is separately trending water and not making progress, I know students are better off for having worked for the past year with an amazing staff.

Question: "How would libertarians keep our air and water clean?"
Last month's column explored two steps that libertarians would take to save the environment. First, libertarians would eliminate sovereign immunity so that victims of the country's greatest polluter-government--would have recourse. Second, libertarians would privatize land and beast to save endangered species, preserve our parks, protect our national forests, and improve our vast cattle ranges. In addition, libertarians would couple these powerful reforms with restitution, to prevent pollution before it starts.
Libertarians reject the initiation of physical force as a means to their ends. Restitution is the remedy when someone harms another, takes their property, or damages it. While punishment is intended to hurt the aggressor, restitution restores the victim to the fullest extent possible. Restitution is "punishment" that fits the crime and therefore provides a more effective deterrent.
For example, if your neighbors dumped garbage on your lawn, you would expect them to clean it up. If they didn't do so when asked, you'd call the local law enforcement. When your neighbor finally did restore your lawn, you'd expect them to compensate you for whatever additional costs were incurred in the enforcement of your claim. Obviously, the expense and hassle of cleaning up your lawn far outweighs the benefits that your neighbors might get from dumping garbage on your lawn in the first place. Thus, if they knew that you were likely to seek restitution, your neighbors would not pollute your property.
Environmental restoration is costly and difficult. Restitution therefore becomes an incredibly onerous punishment and the most effective deterrent known. Let's examine a real-life example of how restitution, coupled with privatization, can protect our waterways.
In Britain, individuals have property rights in the rivers that run through their land. If someone upstream pollutes the water and harms the fish, the downstream owners don't have to wait for a bureaucratic commission to study the issue. Instead, they immediately sue the polluters to protect their valuable property and claim restitution for damages. As a result, would-be polluters are effectively deterred from damaging the environment.
Waterways that don't have a private protector fare much worse. A citizen's action group recently contacted me because they were concerned about businesses dumping toxic chemicals into the neighboring Ohio River. Because the government claims stewardship of this waterway, individuals have no ownership rights on which to base a suit. They must wait until bureaucrats decide to take action. If the businesses contribute to the campaign chests of powerful politicians, nothing may ever happen, even if local authorities are truly protective of the environment.
Even ocean beds can be protected from pollution when private ownership of fishing rights is coupled with restitution. In some states, homesteading of oyster beds is permitted. Private oyster beds are more prolific and profitable than public ones. The owners have incentive to invest money in caring for the beds and harvesting them sustainably.
In the early part of this century, shrimp fishers along the Gulf of Mexico collectively claimed "homesteading" property rights in the coastal waters. Their association regulated the harvest of shrimp sustainably to maximize long term profit. The U.S. government refused to recognize the property rights of the shrimp fishers and outlawed their organization. Not surprisingly, too many shrimp were taken and the population has dropped.
Our air can be protected from pollution with restitution and private ownership as well. For example, in a libertarian society, the roadways would be privately owned. If neighbors complained of pollution, the road company might offer monetary compensation. Most likely, however, the neighbors would want the pollution to stop. Since 80% of emissions' pollution is caused by 20% of the cars, the road company might deny access or charge much higher user fees to polluting vehicles. Given these alternatives, most of the owners would probably buy a newer car or get their emission system upgraded. Such measures would reduce pollution until the neighbors were no longer bothered by it.
Instead of using restitution to alter the usage of potentially damaging products, government today simply bans them. For example, the insecticide DDT eradicated insects that carried malaria, yellow fever, sleeping sickness, typhus, and encephalitis, especially in Third World countries. Pressured by the ban placed on this chemical by the U.S. government, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) abandoned spraying DDT in 1964. Malaria rose from less than two dozen cases per year to over 2 million. The victims had no recourse because governments have sovereign immunity.
In today's society, polluters might simply declare bankruptcy and walk away. However, in a libertarian society, a creditor could not be forced by government to give up their claims for damages. Polluters who couldn't pay immediately would most likely have to make monthly payments until their debt and the interest on that debt was paid in full. If they refused to make such payments, they would most likely end up in a work prison where the additional costs of incarceration would be added to their tab. Rather than lose their freedom and incur additional costs, most polluters would chose to keep up their payments.
In some cases, the damage might exceed whatever the polluters could pay even with a life time of trying to make things right. Restitution can't bring back the dead or easily reclaim a poisoned well. However, by privitizing land and beast, bad political policy won't be able to destroy the 40% of our nation's land and wildlife now controlled by the government. By instituting restitution, polluters will face a formidable deterrent. By eliminating sovereign immunity, our bureaucrats will no longer be able to get away with the murder of millions.

Thread: Jesus into voluntry exile, the isle of Patmos.
#1 Jesus into voluntry exile, the isle of Patmos.
I've believed for a long time that it was prudent for Jesus of Nazereth to make himself scarce shortly after he was rescued from his friends burial crypt. I have believed for a long time that he was alive if unconsious when taken down from his crusifixtion apparatus. Remember the scriptures tell us that it was barely 24 hours he remained crucified. Because of the pending Sabbath permission was given for his removal. Now, on his revival, he is said to have appeared before some of his deciples, yep, this is what I think happened. And, as I said, he was in mortal danger of suffering his fate over again, at the hands of the San Hedrian (sic). There were sea going fishing boats to be had and there would have been little difficulty in smuggling him away to Patmos. westwind.
Who'd win? UK or USA? Only one way to find out... FIGHT!!!
If you are questioning the Biblical account, why not go the whole way and question whether the whole incident ever happened, or even if Jesus actually existed. It isn't really even history, so I'm not so sure it belongs here.
There were sea going fishing boats to be had and there would have been little difficulty in smuggling him away to Patmos.
Or Jesus was a twin. During the gap between childhood and adulthood, the twins were brainwashed and prepared. Then, while one brother perished on the cross, the other was able to emerge from the cave without a scratch on him, having won the coin toss.
I've believed for a long time .
Is there some particular reason you chose to believe this?
Dear John Galt. Yes. very much so. Because I believe that logic dictates that this kind of action could very well have taken place. Jesus lived. Maybe his departure from Jurusliam was to be of a tempory nature. We will never Know that. Because Monks had a monastry on Patmos, and, incidently, one had to be whinched up in a cane basket to enter the Monastry, and it was far enough removed from the immediate climate of rebellion in Jurusliam to suit both the Romans and the Jewish San-Hedrian. He would not have been pursued. The Bible account, written 175? years later, to suit the blossoming religious movement, and to do with a strengthening of a National spirit within Israel to survive Roman Politics and influence, would have been made more interesting. westwind.
I'll ask in a more detailed way: why do you choose to believe this barely plausible option out of scores of other options?
I would suspect that the place where they stabbed him was in a lung, so as to confirm death by suffocation by seeing if the lungs were full of fluid, but I'm not sure about that part.
Dear John Galt. So there are other options?. Scores of them?. I choose to believe this option because i Believe it is the most plausible. It is not my intention to change what people think, it is merely to suggest there may be some truth in what I believe. As there may not be another opportunity I had better make a clean breast of it and declare that I also believe that Jesus and the John of the last book in the New Testiment were one and the same person. There, I've said it. Now, John Galt, this is what I believe, and will go on believing it until someone points out that my beliefs are wrong because of the following facts. end Quote. Read here that I cannot tell you why I believe, because this will only be going around in circles. Sufficient to say that I have at times had a glance through the new Testment. Also on occassion through the old testiment. And maybe had a look at what has been presented from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Please don't tell Meteor Wayne, I don't think he likes me. westwind.
Dead Sea scrolls all predate Jesus Christ, if I'm not mistaken.
The Gnostic Gospels might be more relevant. Maybe?
Thanks for the lead Strange. Been wondering where that got to. My memory dosen't have a drop window, now I have no excuse not to do a little more research. Older people don't know it all, only pretend they do. westwind.

CL (Control Language deutsch: Steuersprache) ist eine Batch-orientierte Programmiersprache für die IBM-Betriebssysteme CPF und später OS/400.

Verwendung

CL wurde für die Automatisierung von Systemabläufen, das Steuern der Konfiguration oder zum Starten von RPG-Programmen mit Parametern konzipiert. Es ist keine geeignete Sprache zur Programmierung von Anwendungen, deren Komplexität über einen Darstellungsbildschirm hinausgeht.

Funktionsüberblick

Die Steuersprache CL beinhaltet folgende Funktionen:
 Befehle zum Programmaufruf
 Logische Funktionen für Verzweigungen
 Nachrichtensteuerung
 Parametersteuerungseinrichtung zum Variablenaustausch mit anderen Programmen

Entwicklung

Bereits 1979 enthielt das IBM System/38 mit dem Steuerprogramm CPF auch die Steuersprache CL. Mehr als 250 Befehle ermöglichten den Benutzern dieses Systems den Zugriff auf einen Großteil der Systemfunktionen. Die CL-Befehle können dabei sowohl interaktiv als auch im Stapelbetrieb verwendet werden.

In der OS/400-Releaseversion V5R3 ermöglicht sie erstmals Schleifen und Switch-Case.

Seit V5R4 ist auch prozedurales Programmieren möglich. Damit kann man mit CL recht komplexe Programme erstellen, auch wenn das nicht Hauptzweck dieser Sprache ist.

It was previously thought that when Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1558, the technology of naval gunnery had not advanced a great deal from that of the reign of Henry VIII. We know that at the beginning of Henry´s reign, the English fleet was forced to retreat from heavily armed French galleys, and we deduce that the English ships were at a disadvantage in artillery. New evidence has come to light which shows that the fighting capacity of Queen Elizabeth´s navy was better than expected, and for an unexpected reason.
The Mary Rose was at one point the flagship of Henry´s fleet and the pride of the navy. She was named after Henry´s sister together with the Tudor rose emblem. Launched in 1511, this ultra-modern ship was renowned for her sailing ability and fought successfully at Brest in 1512. There are records of her visit to Newcastle in 1513 and then in 1514 in actions at Boulogne and Cherbourg and in June 1520 she escorted the king on his way to the Field of the Cloth of Gold in northern France. She was laid up in 1525 in Deptford for caulking, being described as 14 years old and weighing 600 tons. Mary Rose underwent a major refit in 1528 at Portsmouth; and again in 1536. Mary Rose sank in Portsmouth harbour during the Battle of the Solent against the French fleet (19 July 1545).
The Mary Rose was raised from the mud of Portsmouth harbour and has since presented a puzzle to historians because she carried a bewildering variety of cannon - many designed for land warfare. They were all of different shapes and sizes, fired different shot at different rates with different characteristics. The probable reason why ships had used guns of differing calibres is because they had been sourced with different gunfounders. Gun manufacturers have always created different designs and calibres to ensure plentiful after sales in ammunition and spares. The logistical problems presented by the use of a variety of different guns on the same ship would have been tremendous and would have seriously reduced the effective fighting capacity of the ship. On the other hand, it is known that during Elizabeth's reign, English sailors and gunners became greatly feared and even Philip II of Spain gave warning of the deadly English artillery. But no-one has ever been able to show clearly how this change in reputation came about.
New research follows the discovery of the wreck of an Elizabethan fighting ship off Alderney in the Channel Islands. The wreck is thought to date from around 1592, just four years after the Spanish Armada had been defeated. There is a very good chance that this ship was in action against the Armada and could have contributed to the defeat of the Spanish fleet. The ship was a pinnace, a small ship carrying 12 guns, two of which have been recovered already. What is remarkable is that all 12 guns were of a uniform shape and size, and all firing the same size shot. This type of standardisation is of course a basic concept in the field of military logistics for ease of storage and re-supply. It is also considered that the idea of employing only one type of gun on such a ship was revolutionary, and that this new method of operating might have given Elizabeth´s fleet a major advantage.
We do not at present know what might have led to Elizabethan commanders to adopt a standard for the guns of any one ship. It does not take much imagination to understand that a ship with guns of a standard format which are easier to serve would have a higher rate of fire than a ship with guns of a non-standard format And it may be that the commanders of Queen Elizabeth´s navy, having learned that it was more efficient to have only one type of cannon on any one ship, were considered by others to be expert in artillery, and therefore were feared by the navies of other nations.

Q: CSS and JS files don't update in Phalcon app I have a Phalcon app where I added some HTML (in volt), JS and SCSS. I compiled my CSS into the public directory and my JS files are also there. Everything works. Then I try to change my JS or CSS, but Phalcon ignores all changes. If I delete the files and refresh the page, the page style is gone and when I put them back, the new files effectively show up.
It seems like Phalcon is saving a cached version of my assets, but where? And how do I clear this cache?

A: We just solved this issue in vagrant by disabling send file support with sendfile off; parameter to nginx site.

More than two dozen new tours, exhibits and events have been planned in Alexandria, kicking off this month when the show debuts.
