DYNAMITE! Julian Assange talks to John Pilger: Wikileaks, Clinton, Saudis and ISIS
Sat, 2016-11-05 21:30 — admin
It is Mrs Hillary Clinton who should be in prison, not Julian Assange. For anyone who is still confused about what on earth Wikileaks has demonstrated about Hilary Clinton, watch this very clear interview by Australia's most famous independent Australian journalist, John Pilger and check the transcript below the video. Assange makes perfectly clear the association between Saudi Arabia and ISIS and Saudi Arabia and the Clinton Foundation. It shows that Hillary Clinton, whilst Secretary of State (!), knew and knows that the Saudi Arabian and Qatar governments were and are funding ISIS. This relationship with terrorism has been going on for years. The Australian Government and opposition must also know this. And, the Australian government, by not getting Assange safely back home is spectacularly failing its obligations to protect its own citizens from persecution. Our government is a cowardly lackey to the United States and the opposition and the Greens are just as bad because they say nothing about this. Our press protects this collusive silence. Assange is without doubt a courageous world figure and an Australian hero, but without Australia's intervention, Assange risks being thrown into a dungeon, like Chelsea Manning - with a mockery trial in the United States, should he step outside the Ecuadorian Embassy. Transcript inside, first published on RT at http://on.rt.com/7ty5 as "Assange: Clinton is a cog for Goldman Sachs & the Saudis (John Pilger exclusive video & transcript)"with multiple pictures and links which we have not published here.
Transcript from RT:
Whistleblower Julian Assange has given one of his most incendiary interviews ever in a John Pilger Special, courtesy of Dartmouth Films, in which he summarizes what can be gleaned from the tens of thousands of Clinton emails released by WikiLeaks this year.
John Pilger, another Australian émigré, conducted the 25-minute interview at the Ecuadorian Embassy, where Assange has been trapped since 2012 for fear of extradition to the US. Last month, Assange had his internet access cut off for alleged "interference" in the American presidential election through the work of his website.
'Clinton made FBI look weak, now there is anger'
John Pilger:What's the significance of the FBI's intervention in this last week of the US election campaign in the case against Hillary Clinton?
Julian Assange: If you go to the history of the FBI, it has become effectively America's political police. And the FBI demonstrated with taking down the former head of the CIA over classified information given to his mistress [that] almost no one was untouchable. The FBI is always trying to demonstrate that, "No one can resist us." But Hillary Clinton very conspicuously resisted the FBI's investigation. So, there is anger within the FBI because it made the FBI look weak. Well, we have published quite a number of different sets of emails, so, about 33,000 of Clinton's emails while she was Secretary of State. They come from a batch of just over 60,000 emails. In those 60,000 emails, Clinton has kept about half, 30,000, to herself, and we have published about half. And then there are the Podesta emails we've been publishing. Podesta is Hillary Clinton's primary campaign manager. So, there's a thread that runs through all of these emails. There is quite a lot of "pay for play," as they call it – taking… giving access in exchange for money for many individual states, individuals and corporations – combined with the cover-up of Hillary Clinton's emails while she was Secretary of State has led to an environment where the pressure on the FBI increases.
'Russian government not the source of Clinton leaks'
JP: But the Clinton campaign has said that Russia is behind all of this. It says that Russia has manipulated the campaign and is the source for WikiLeaks and its emails.
JA: The Clinton camp has been able to project that kind of neo-McCarthyist hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything.
JP:Yeah.
JA: Hillary Clinton stated multiple times – falsely – that 17 US intelligence agencies had assessed that Russia was the source of our publications. OK. That's false. We can say that the Russian government is not the source, yes. WikiLeaks has been publishing for 10 years. In that 10 years, we've published 10 million documents. Several thousand individual publications, several thousand different sources. And we have never got it wrong.
'Saudi Arabia & Qatar funding ISIS and Clinton'
JP:All the emails that give evidence of access for money and how Hillary Clinton herself benefitted from this and how she is benefitting politically are quite extraordinary. I'm thinking of where the Qatari representative was given five minutes with Bill Clinton for a million-dollar check and many other examples. Can you…?
JA: …Or $12 million from Morocco.
JP:...$12 million from Morocco... yeah.
JA: ... for Hillary Clinton to attend.
JP:In terms of the foreign policy of the United States, that's where – for me, anyway – where the emails are most revealing, where they show the direct connection Hillary Clinton and the foundation of jihadism, of ISIL in the Middle East. Can you talk something about that? What the… how the emails demonstrate this connection between... those who are meant to be fighting the jihadist ISIL are actually those who have helped create it.
JA: There's an early 2014 email from Hillary Clinton, so not so long after she left [her job as] Secretary of State, to her campaign manager John Podesta. That email, it states that ISIL, ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar – the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Now, this is a… I actually think this is the most significant email in the whole collection...
JP:Mmm.
JA: …And perhaps because Saudi and Qatari money is spread all over the place, including into many media institutions, all serious analysts know, even the US government has mentioned or agreed with that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIS, funding ISIS. But the dodge has always been, that's… what… it's just some rogue princes using their cut of the oil money to do what they like but actually the government disapproves. But that email says that no, it is the governments of Saudi and the government of Qatar that have been funding ISIS.
JP:The Saudis, the Qataris, the Moroccans, the Bahrainis – particularly the Saudis and the Qataris giving all this money to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State and the State Department is approving massive arms sales, particularly to Saudi Arabia.
JA: Under Hillary Clinton, and Clinton emails reveal significant discussion about it, the largest ever arms deal in the world was made with Saudi Arabia – more than $80 billion. In fact, during her tenure as Secretary of State, total arms exports from United States in terms of the dollar value doubled.
JP:Doubled. And of course, the consequence of that is that this notorious terrorist jihadist group called ISIL, or ISIS, is created largely with money from the very people who are giving money to the Clinton Foundation.
JA: Yes.
JP:That's extraordinary.
'Clinton has been eaten alive by her ambition'
JA: Look. Hillary Clinton is just a person. I actually feel quite sorry for Hillary Clinton as a person because I see someone who is eaten alive by their ambitions, tormented literally to the point where they become sick. You know, they faint as a result of going on and going on with their ambitions. But she represents a whole network of people, and a network of relationships also with particular states. The question is, how does Hillary Clinton fit in this broader network? She's this centralizing cog, so that you've got a lot of different gears in operation from the big banks like Goldman Sachs, and major elements of Wall Street, and intelligence, and people in the State Department, and the Saudis, and so on. She's is the, if you like, the centralizer that interconnects all these different cogs. She's smooth central representation of all that, and all that is more or less what is in power now in the United States. It's what you call the establishment, or the DC consensus, and its influences. In fact, one of the most significant Podesta emails that we released was about how the Obama cabinet was formed – and half the Obama cabinet was basically nominated by a representative from Citibank. It is quite amazing.
JP:Well, it is… Didn't Citibank supply a list?
JP:…Which turned out to be...
JA: Which turned out to be...
JP:…to be mostly the Obama cabinet.
JP:So, Wall Street decides the cabinet of the president of the United States.
JA: If you were following the Obama campaign back then closely, you could see it had become very close to banking interests. It wasn't so close to oil interests but it was very close to banking interests.
JP:Yeah. Yeah.
JA: So, I think you can't properly understand Hillary Clinton's foreign policy without understanding Saudi Arabia. The connections with Saudi Arabia are so intimate.
'Libya is Hillary Clinton's war'
JP:Why was she so demonstrably enthusiastic about the destruction of Libya? Can you talk a little about just what the emails have told us – told you – about what happened there? Because Libya is such a source for so much of the mayhem now in Syria: the ISIL, jihadism, and so on. And it was almost Hillary Clinton's invasion. What do the emails tell us about that?
JA: Libya more that anyone else's war was Hillary Clinton's war. Barack Obama initially opposed it. Who was the person who was championing it? Hillary Clinton. That's documented throughout her emails. She had… She put her favored agent in effect, Sidney Blumenthal, onto that. There's more than 1,700 emails out of the 33 thousand of Hillary Clinton's emails we published just about Libya. It's not about that Libya has cheap oil. She perceived the removal of Gaddafi and the overthrow of the Libyan state something that she would use to run in the general election for president. So late 2011, there's an internal document called the "Libya Tick Tock" that is produced for Hillary Clinton, and it's all the... it's a chronological description of how Hillary Clinton was the central figure in the destruction of the Libyan state. As a result, there are around 40,000 deaths within Libya. Jihadists moved in, ISIS moved in. That led to the European refugee and migrant crisis, because not only did you have people fleeing Libya, people then fleeing Syria, destabilization of other African countries as a result of arms flows. The Libyan state itself was no longer able to control movement of people through it. So, Libya faces on to the Mediterranean. So, it had been effectively the cork in the bottle of Africa. So, all problems, all economic problems, the civil war in Africa... Previously, the people fleeing those problems didn't end up in Europe because Libya policed the Mediterranean. And that was said explicitly at the time, back in 2011, by Gaddafi: what do these Europeans think they are doing, trying to bomb and destroy the Libyan state? There's going to be floods of migrants out of Africa, and jihadists into Europe. And that is exactly what happened.
'Trump won't be permitted to win'
JP:You get a lot of complaints from people saying, "What is WikiLeaks doing, are they trying to put Trump into White House?"
JA: My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he's had every establishment offside. Trump doesn't have one establishment – maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment. But banks, intelligence, arms companies, big foreign money, etc. – it's all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well: so, media owners and even journalists themselves.
JP:The accusations that WikiLeaks is in league with the Russians and you hear people saying, "Well, why doesn't WikiLeaks investigate and publish emails on Russia?"
JA: We have published over 800,000 documents of various kinds that relate to Russia. Most of those are critical. And… a great many books have come out of our publications about Russia, most of which are critical. And our documents have gone on to be used in quite a number of court cases, refugee cases of people fleeing some kinds of claimed political persecution in Russia, which they use our documents to back up.
JP:Do you take yourself a view of the US election? Do you have a preference for Clinton or Trump?
JA: Donald Trump – what does he represent in the American mind and in the European mind? He represents American "white trash," deplorable and irredeemable. Basically, the same thing. It means, from a… establishment or educated, cosmopolitan, urbane perspective, these people are, you know, like the rednecks, and you can't… like, they are just… you can never deal with them. And because he so clearly – through his words and actions and the type of people that turns up at his rallies – represents the people who are not the upper-middle-class-educated, there is a fear of seeming to be associated in any way with that, a social fear that lowers the class status of anyone who can be accused of somehow assisting in any way Trump, including criticizing Clinton. And if you look at how the middle class gains its economic and social power, it makes absolute sense.
'US attempting to squeeze WikiLeaks through my refugee status'
JP:I'd like to talk about Ecuador, a small country that has given you refuge and has given you asylum in this embassy in London. Now, Ecuador cut off the Internet from here, where we're doing this interview, in the embassy for the clearly obvious reason that they were concerned about appearing to intervene in the US election campaign. Can you talk about why they would take that action and your own views on Ecuador's support for you?
JA: Let's go back four years ago. I made an asylum application to Ecuador in this embassy because of the US extradition case. And the result was after a month, I was successful in my application, and then the embassy has been surrounded by the police. Quite an expensive police operation, which the British government admits they're spending more than 12.6 million pounds – they've admitted that over a year ago. And now there's undercover police and there's robot surveillance cameras of various kinds. So, there has been a quite serious conflict right here in the heart of London between Ecuador – a country of 16 million people – and the United Kingdom. And the Americans, who've been helping on the side. So, that was a brave and principled thing for Ecuador to do. Now we have the US election afoot. The Ecuadorian election is in February next year. You have the White House feeling the political heat as a result of the true information that we have been publishing. WikiLeaks does not publish from the jurisdiction of Ecuador, from its embassy or the territory of Ecuador. We publish from France, we publish from Germany, we publish from the Netherlands and a number of other countries. So, the attempted squeeze on WikiLeaks is through my refugee status. And this is really intolerable: When you try and get at a publishing organization, to try and prevent it publishing true information that is of intense interest to the American people and others about an election.
JP:Tell us what would happen if you walked out of this embassy.
JA: So, I would be immediately arrested by the British police, and I would then be extradited, either immediately to the United States, or to Sweden. In Sweden, I am not charged, I've already been previously cleared, etc. So, we're not certain exactly what would happen there, but then we know that the Swedish government has refused to say that they will not extradite me to the United States. And they have extradited 100 percent of people that the US has requested since at least 2000. So, over the last 15 years, every single person that the US has tried to extradite from Sweden has been extradited. And they refuse to provide the guarantees. So, it's… yeah.
JP:People often ask how you cope with the isolation here.
JA: Look, one of the best attributes of human beings is that they are adaptable. One of the worst attributes of human beings is that they are adaptable. They adapt and start to tolerate abuses. They adapt to being involved themselves in abuses. They adapt to adversity and continue on. So, in my situation… frankly, I'm a bit institutionalized. This is the world – visually, this is the world.
JP:It's a world without sunlight, for one thing…
JA: It's a world without sunlight, but I haven't seen sunlight in so long like I don't remember it. So, yeah, you adapt. The one real irritant is that my young children – they also adapt. They adapt to being without their father. That's a hard adaptation, which they didn't ask for.
JP:Do you worry about them?
JA: Yeah, I worry about them, I worry about their mother.
'I am innocent and in arbitrary detention'
JP:Some people would say, "Well, why don't you end it and simply walk out the door and allow yourself to be extradited to Sweden?"
JA: The UN has looked into this whole situation. They spent 18 months in formal adversarial litigation: me, at the UN, versus Sweden and the UK – who is right? The UN made a conclusion – I'm being arbitrarily detained, illegally, deprived of my freedom. What has been… occurred, has not occurred within the laws that the United Kingdom and Sweden must obey. It is an illegal abuse. I mean, the United Nations formally asking what's going on here, what's your legal explanation for this. He says you should be… you should recognize his asylum. Sweden formally writing back to United Nations, says "No, we're not going to," leaving open their ability to extradite. I just find it absolutely amazing that the narrative about this situation is not put out publicly and in the press. Because it doesn't suit the Western establishment narrative that, "Yes, the West has political prisoners." It's a reality. It's not just me, there's a bunch of other people as well. The West has political prisoners. No state accepts to call the people it is imprisoning or detaining for political reasons "political prisoners." They don't call them political prisoners in China, they don't call them political prisoners in Azerbaijan, and they don't call them political prisoners in the United States, the UK or Sweden. It's absolutely intolerable to have that kind of self-perception. But here we have a case. Talking about the Swedish case, where I have never been charged with a crime, where I have already been cleared and found to be innocent, where the woman herself said that the police made it up, where the United Nations formally said the whole thing is illegal, where the state of Ecuador also investigated and found that I should be given asylum. Those are the facts. But what is the rhetoric?
JP: Different.
JA: The rhetoric is pretending, constantly pretending that I have been charged with a crime, never mentioning that I have been already previously cleared, never mentioning that the woman herself says that the police made it up, trying to avoid that the UN formally found that the whole thing is illegal. Never even mentioning that Ecuador made a formal assessment through its formal processes and found that yes, I am subject to persecution by the United States.

Nothing could be more explicit about our client status. We go to war for them and we finance them. Disgusting alliances of current and past governments.
However, this article also criticises related political activities over values which have validity in their own right - such as the idea of aboriginal Australians having their own territory. An alternative view would suggest that these reasonable activities have been captured in order to give power to a faux left over political territory it competes over with the 'right' side of politics. The formal 'left' has become a sheep's clothing exercise. See other articles about the influence of Soros, who is a major contributor and fomentor of sheep's clothing leftist NGOs etc., such as "Population stampedes: Why does Soros push open borders?"

From the birthplace of coffee comes one of our favorite single origins. Full body and medium acidity, this coffee bean has a distinctive fruity flavour combined with the irresistible taste of mocha. The Ethiopian Harar bean is grown in the Eastern highlands of Ethiopia. One of the oldest beans still produced, it is a dry processed coffee bean – meaning sorting and processing are done almost exclusively by hand.

Friday 27th April heralded a delightful opportunity for our music loving Rotarians who were treated to a magical evening of Sufi Music and Poetry at the iconic Darbar Hall of the Asiatic Library, Fort, Mumbai.
The event was organised by the Fellowship Committee and hosted by the Urban Heritage Committee.
All attending were welcomed with a high tea served in the recently renovated first floor Central foyer reception area of the Asiatic Society Library. Rotary Members and other attendees including Rotaractors got an hour to bond and fill their stomachs with tasty hor d'oeuvres before heading for the auditory and visual offering in the Darbar Hall.
The soul stirring performance was delivered by the talented, melliflous and passionate virtuoso Sufi vocalist Radhika Nayak Sood, who accompanied by her troupe, hypnotised the audience with her live explanation of each verse and nuance of the poetry of the celebrated Panjabi Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah, and then rendering the songs in her beautiful voice which filled the entire room with its divine calling and intonation. The grand climax at the closing was with the popular Panjabi hit "Bulla Ki Jaana Main Kaun" and encore with the Sindhi anthem "Damadam Mast Kalandar".
This was the first instance of a musical soiree being held in the Darbar Hall and the vocalist expressed that she was inspired by the room and the venue which uplifted her spirits to give her best, despite the complicated acoustics.


Following the release of the album is a feature-length Inna De Yard documentary-film directed by Peter Webber (3 Oscar nominations for Girl with a Pearl Earring), set for its UK and international cinema release alongside European tour and summer festival dates including a special beach performance at the music industry Midem Festival in Cannes.
Overlooking the landscape and gripping heights of Kingston's Blue Mountains, stands a house lined brightly with vinyl LPs & 45s, books and Jamaican art, with a terrace view that very few others can rival. It's here, just outside Kingston in Stony Hill and surrounded by grounds of trees, wildlife and ancestral spirits that the 'Inna De Yard: The Soul of Jamaica' flame was first lit. Returning to Stony Hill the Inna De Yard crew call in an imposing ensemble of singing greats and renowned musicians to craft an absorbing collection of traditional, percussion-heavy reggae-soul.
As spiritual leader of the Inna De Yard troupe, Kiddus I opens proceedings with his roots-meets-chanson re-work of Edith Piaf's 'If You Love Me'. The Electric Dread AKA Winston McAnuff follows with 'Malcolm X', his rousing acoustic tribute to the influential leader and activist, before radiant three-part vocal harmonies and Cedric Myton's effervescent falsetto surf across nyabinghi drumming on a glossy version of the spectacular 'Row Fisherman', simply, a classic of 20th century reggae music. If one man knew anything about classic records, it's Mr. Rocksteady, Ken Boothe. His international 1974 Trojan super-hit 'Everything I Own' is given the Inna De Yard treatment here, perfectly capturing the vibrant energy and soul of a man, now in his 70s, with no intention of slowing down.
From Jamaican vocal trio The Viceroys' exceptional Studio One production 'Ya-Ho' to Horace Andy's vibesing cover of Bill Withers' 'Ain't No Sunshine', Inna De Yard's vivid, rhythm-focused arrangements breathe new life into timeless yet timeworn compositions. One-third of Bob Marley and The Wailers 'I-Threes' backing vocal group, Judy Mowatt's demonstrates this on 'Black Woman', featuring Rasta rebel newcomer, Jah9, epitomising the cross-generational and revolutionary attitude of roots music. Future elder figures, Derajah and Var take centre stage on the album's final tracks, with two incredibly poignant and powerful affirmations of life, 'Tribute To My Sister' and 'Live Good', that lament the sad realities and troubles of Kingston streets, yet through Rastafari find salvation in their struggle and survival.
So much more than a reggae album, Inna De Yard reminds us of the incredible contribution Jamaica had on pop and black music going back decades when Bob Marley was a household name. Clearly the Rastafarian spirit that aligned with the Jamaican artists in the '60s and '70s reverberates through the Jamaican musical ancestry of 2019. Jah!

About 90% of hair on the scalp grows continually. In fact, each hair grows for about 2 to 6 years. The other 10% of scalp hair is in a resting phase that lasts 2 to 3 months. At the end of the resting stage, this hair is shed.
Most people have around 100,000 hairs on their head, and shed 50 to 100 hairs a day. This is normal. When a hair is shed, it is replaced by a new hair from the same follicle and the growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair grows about half an inch a month.
As people age, the rate of hair growth slows.
Generally, the earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the baldness will become.
There are a number of hair replacement methods available. But hair replacement surgery can't help those who suffer from total baldness. Candidates for hair replacement must have a healthy growth of hair at the back and sides of the head. The hair on the back and sides of the head will serve as hair donor areas where grafts and flaps will be taken.
Hair transplantation. During hair transplantation, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from the back or sides of the head. These grafts are then relocated to a bald or thinning area.
Tissue expansion. In this procedure, a device called a tissue expander is placed underneath a hair-bearing area that is located next to a bald area. After several weeks, the tissue expander causes the skin to grow new skin cells. Another surgery is then needed to place the newly expanded skin over the nearby bald spot.
Flap surgery. Flap surgery is ideal for covering large balding areas. During this procedure a part of the bald area is removed and a flap of the hair-bearing skin is placed onto the bald area. This is done while the flap of the hair-bearing skin is still attached at one end to its original blood supply.
Scalp reduction. Scalp reduction is done to cover the bald areas at the top and back of the head. This method involves removing the bald scalp with sections of the hair-bearing scalp pulled together filling in the bald area.
Patchy hair growth. Sometimes the growth of newly placed hair has a patchy look, especially if it's placed next to a thinning area. This can often be corrected by additional surgery.
Bleeding or wide scars. Tension on the scalp from some of the scalp reduction techniques can result in wide scars or bleeding.
Grafts not taking. Occasionally there's a chance that the graft may not take. If this is the case, surgery must be repeated.
Infection. As with any surgical procedure, there is the risk of infection.
Average length of procedure. Several surgical sessions are usually needed to achieve satisfactory fullness, with a healing interval of several months recommended between each session. It may take up to 2 years before seeing the final result with a full transplant series.
Recuperation period. Plugged or grafted hair falls out within a month or 2 after surgery. This is normal and almost always temporary. After hair falls out, it generally takes another month or more before hair growth resumes. A surgical touch-up procedure may be needed to create more natural-looking results after the first incisions have healed. This may involve blending. This is a filling-in of the hairline using a combination of minigrafts, micrografts, or slit grafts.
Finasteride. Finasteride treats male pattern baldness. It is available in pill form by prescription only. It works by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme changes the male hormone testosterone into a stronger form called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It's believed that DHT is a key factor in male pattern hair loss. Finasteride lowers DHT levels in a man's scalp. This slows hair loss and promotes hair growth.
Dutasteride. Dutasteride is another medicine that blocks the formation of DHT and may also help hair growth.
Minoxidil. Minoxidil is available as an over-the-counter medicine. It is approved for both men and women. It is a topical solution that must be applied by applicator or fingers to the balding area twice a day, every day. Reducing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss. Stopping the medicine causes you to go back to your pretreatment baldness. Minoxidil is available in a women's strength and a men's strength.

Derby Moor Academy, the successor school to Derby Moor Community Sports College Trust, formerly known as Derby Moor Community School, is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form situated on Moorway Lane, Littleover, Derby. It was established in January 2018 when the school converted to Academy status and joined the Spencer Academies Trust. It can also be seen as the successor to Derby School, which closed in 1989, resulting in Derby Moor opening in the same year with a new headteacher and governing body, although the buildings, pupils and most of the teaching staff were the same.

The school now consists of 2 buildings the main building and the MFL (modern foreign languages) building which opened to students in late 2019. Scott Doyle is the current principal.

The school has its own sixth form, established in 2013. Prior to this, the school had a joint sixth form centre, The Millennium Centre, with neighbouring school Littleover Community School, which opened in 1999. Ivy House Special School is also located on the same site but in separate buildings.

School System
The current school system uses horizontal tutoring, with 10 tutor groups in each year (15 in year 11). There are five houses, taking inspiration from the Olympic values and rings, these are; Solidarity (Red), Participation (Black), Honour (Yellow), Dedication (Blue) and Spirit (Green).
Each house has its own 'house manager' who looks after the forms within the house.

On 1 January 2010 the school became a Foundation School this allowed the school greater control over its finances. At the same time it established a trust (Derby Pride Trust) which has charitable status. The trust partners are, at the moment, Derby County Football Club, Ivy House Special School, NHS Derby City and Derby City Council Sport & Leisure. A joint venture, as part of the trust, between Derby Moor and DCFC saw the Derby Pride Academy opened as the first free school in Derby.

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school

Following a decline in standards from the previous inspection, leaders have brought about rapid improvements in pupils' behavior and the standards they reach.

 Leaders have created a positive and vibrant community for learning. Pupils are proud of their school and its caring and inclusive ethos.
 Outcomes have improved and progress in English and mathematics is in line with that seen nationally. Progress across a range of subjects is also improving.
 Teachers have good subject knowledge and use their questioning skills well to check pupils' understanding.
 Pupils' behavior in lessons and around the school site is good and disruption is rare. Pupils are very polite and they respect and celebrate each other's differences.
 In the sixth form, students enjoy their learning and benefit from good-quality teaching. They make good progress which prepares them well for the next stage of their education, employment and training. Pupils feel safe at school and know how to keep themselves and others safe.
 Leaders have developed a curriculum for all ages which prepares pupils well for life in modern Britain.
 Teachers do not always make effective use of the information they receive about pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities to ensure that work is set at the right level for them.
 Most-able pupils do not have enough opportunities to explore their subjects in greater depth and make the progress of which they are capable.
 Leaders do not systematically evaluate the impact of new initiatives so that they are not able to judge their effectiveness precisely enough.
 Rates of persistent absence, especially among disadvantaged pupils, are too high.

Curriculum

Buildings

1964-2011
The first buildings on the site were built in the 1960s, consisting of Stenson (prefabricated concert panels and steel construction) and Derwent (steel and brick construction). These were built for the former Derby School, and the Derwent building contained several kinds of memorabilia from the old school site, including war memorials, honours boards in the hall with lists the achievements of former pupils, and a mosaic in the entrance hall of the school's badge and motto.

 In 1992 there was a fire in part of the Stenson building, resulting in demolition of the damaged area. A new building, Cromford, was constructed on the tennis courts that were close to the entrance of the school, with the area that had been cleared becoming new tennis courts. The Cromford building was opened in 1993 by local member of parliament Margaret Beckett. The Markeaton building was built in 1999 to house The Millennium Centre, it consisted of terrapin blocks that had been linked together. Other temporary buildings were added to the site as the school outgrew its capacity, including the music block and seclusion area. Following a grant in the mid-2000s, an astroturf pitch was constructed on the south side of the site, together with extra changing rooms, and a few years later a gym, which was built thanks to a grant from Sport England because of Ivy House Special School being built on one of the top fields to the north.

Building Schools for the Future

Derby Moor took part in the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) program, being one of the test schools for Derby City along with Noel-Baker Community School. The school had a partial refurbishment and a partial new build at a cost of £19 million, including £3 million on IT equipment. The new building and refurbishment was designed by Hawkins\Brown as the main architects, Fabric as landscape architects and Cundall Johnston and Partners as the structural, mechanical and electrical engineer. These companies partnered with Balfour Beatty to win preferred bidder status in 2010.

The new building was designed to link together Derwent building and what was to remain of Stenson building, after it was decided that these two were to be kept. The remainder of Stenson's fabric was too damaged to be of use and Cromford, due to its construction methods, had inefficient energy usage and poor acoustics. The new building, known as the Learning Barn would provide many of the more complex facilities such as the science and technology labs and ICT suites. This allows the older buildings to provide what they are able to in terms of learning spaces as they are restricted due to the arrangement of the original steel work. The rooms and facilities are grouped in accordance with the house system; Dedication, Honour, Solidarity, Spirit and Participation respectively. There is a 'Hub' area in each faculty containing IT facilities and open learning space. In addition to this there is a main hub that contains the dining area, Flexible Learning Centre (which contains the library and IT facilities) and the sixth form centre (The Millennium Centre).

After uncertainty around whether funding would be given due to spending cuts by the UK Government, construction started in January 2011. In January 2012 the PACE faculty opened, this being contained in what remains of Stenson building, this included the refurbished sports hall. The rest of the building was due to open in September 2012, but due to rusting within the existing frames of Derwent building extended foundational works had to be carried out, delaying the opening. These foundational problems were found when stripping the back of Derwent building within the process of refurbishment, the problems couldn't have been identified earlier as this would have required an intrusive survey which could not be possible to be carried out when the building was a learning environment. After the refurbishment was fully completed, the demolition of the other buildings was to commence afterwards. The school opened in January 2013 and the official opening ceremony took place on 28 June 2013 as a community event.

Notable former pupils
 Lee Camp, goalkeeper for Nottingham Forest and Northern Ireland national football team.
 Fiona May, British-born Italian track and field athlete who competed in the long jump.

Q: Embedded videos crash/break font-face We've just released a new website (http://www.vulytrampolines.com/), and we're having issues with font-face calls on Mac Safari/Chrome only. It will load as the proper font in the first half second or so (in the navigation at the top), but then when the video loads within the iframe, the font breaks. It goes much lighter/thinner than normal, and we can't figure out how to fix it.
The issue only appears to occur when a page has an iframe to a youtube/vimeo video. E.G. http://vulytrampolines.com/aboutus. If you watch the orange navigation, you'll notice the font will have a bit more weight, but will then go lighter once the youtube video loads in. Deleting the video iframe from the DOM or setting it to display none then fixes the problem, BUT making it visible again breaks the font again.
Anyone have any ideas?
webkit-smoothing, font smoothing, rotation, text-shadows haven't fixed it.
This is our font-face call:
@font-face {
/*    font-family: neuzeitGroteskLight;*/
    font-family: VulyFont-Light;
    src: url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-lig-webfont.eot);
    src: url('/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-lig-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-lig-webfont.woff) format('woff'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-lig-webfont.ttf) format('truetype'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-lig-webfont.svg#NeuzeitGroteskLight) format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;
}

@font-face {
/*    font-family: 'neuzeitGroteskRegular';*/
    font-family: VulyFont;
    src: url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-reg-webfont.eot);
    src: url('/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-reg-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-reg-webfont.woff) format('woff'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-reg-webfont.ttf) format('truetype'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-reg-webfont.svg#NeuzeitGroteskRegular) format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;

}

@font-face {
/*    font-family: 'neuzeitGroteskBold';*/
    font-family: VulyFont-Bold;
    src: url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-bol-webfont.eot);
    src: url('/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-bol-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-bol-webfont.woff) format('woff'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-bol-webfont.ttf) format('truetype'),
         url(/css/fonts/neuzeitgro-bol-webfont.svg#NeuzeitGroteskBold) format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;

}

A: I spent a few hours investigating today.
Mac and PC render the same font family/weight/style differently for this particular font.
A) Mac and PC firefox have no issues rendering the font.
A) PC Chrome and PC Safari have no issues rendering the font.
B) Mac Chrome, Mac Safari, iPad and iPhone have issues rendering the font, when a video is either loaded or is playing on a page.
Solution:
We have two versions of the font - a light font and a regular font.
For options A) above, we now use VulyFont-Light, as there are no issues with the font becoming lighter.
For option B) above we use VulyFont with -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased !important; (I'm not 100% if the !important is necessary). The effect of font-smoothing is that it PREVENTS the font-face from re-rendering or getting lighter/breaking when a video is loaded or starts playing. So we have it rendering almost exactly the same cross-browser/platform. The only difference is minor glyph spacings between the two versions of the font.

Анатолій Дніпро́в (псевдонім; справ. Анатолій Петрович Міцке́вич, 17 листопада 1919, Дніпро — 7 жовтня 1975, Москва) — радянський письменник-фантаст українського походження. Більшість його творів видано російською, українською перекладено збірки «Рівняння Максвелла» і «Суєма». Його повісті й оповідання також перекладено англійською, німецькою, іспанською, французькою, литовською, чеською, естонською, польською.

Біографія
Анатолій Міцкевич народився 18 листопада 1919 року в Дніпропетровську (сучасний Дніпро). Закінчив фізичний факультет МГУ в 1941 році, але через початок Німецько-радянської війни замість роботи за фахом пішов на фронт. Міцкевич виконував завдання Головного розвідуправління Червоної Армії, служив шифрувальником проти штабу Роммеля в Північній Африці, потім працював в Італії. Отримав звання лейтенанта. При підписанні капітуляції гітлерівської Німеччини в Карлсхорсті Міцкевич був перекладачем маршала Жукова. Після демобілізації почав займатися науковою діяльністю, працював в Академії наук СРСР, в оборонному науково-дослідному інституті, здобув ступінь кандидата фізико-математичних наук. Молодість Анатолія Петровича відбитися на його майбутній творчості, антивоєнній тематиці й розгляду проблеми відповідальності вченого за свої відкриття. Від назви рідного міста Міцкевич утворив псевдонім, під яким і відомий — Дніпров.

Дніпров опублікував свій перший фантастичний твір порівняно пізно, майже в сорок років. Ним став «Корабельна аварія» 1958-го року. Незабаром з'явилася невелика повість «Суєма» (1958) — один із перших творів про розумних роботів у радянській фантастиці. В оповіданні «Краби йдуть по острову» Дніпров застосував закони дарвінівської еволюції щодо самовідтворюваних роботів. У 1960-у році ці твори ввійшли до першої книги Дніпрова — збірника повістей і оповідань «Рівняння Максвелла», який приніс йому визнання серед провідних радянських письменників-фантастів. В ній, в однойменному оповіданні «Рівняння Максвелла», автор одним з перших описав використання людського мозку як комп'ютера. Після розгромленої рецензентами статті про напівпровідники (де описувався запропонований ним неможливий прилад) Дніпров покинув наукову діяльність.

На початку 1960-х Дніпров влаштувався у редакцію журналу «Техніка-молоді» завідувачем з науково-фантастичного розділу, потім був науковим редактором і науковим оглядачем, членом редколегії журналу. У цей час увага автора перемкнулася на молекулярну біологію та проблеми маніпулювання психобіологічними функціями людини. Цьому була присвячена зокрема повість «Глиняний бог» (1963), в якій розповідається про заміну атомів вуглецю в основі хімічної структури живого організму на кремній та створення на їх основі бойових кіборгів. У подібному ключі написані оповідання «П'ятий стан» (1961), де вчені намагаються створити синтетичну живу клітину; «Ферма» Станлеї" (1964) і «Трагедія на вулиці Парадіз» (1961) вперше у вітчизняній фантастиці описали клонів. Розвиваючи тему інженерної біології, письменник впритул підійшов до проблеми можливості цілеспрямованого втручання в сферу емоцій і свідомості. Так, у оповіданнях «Банка без наклейки» (1964), «Голова напрокат» (1965), «Людина для архіву» (1967), «Пророки» (1970) розповідається про «нейтринну теорію мислення, про хімічну природу пам'яті, про електронну природу нервового імпульсу». Невелике оповідання «Формула безсмертя» (1962) представляє собою віяло оригінальних (для свого часу) науково-фантастичних ідей і гіпотез щодо запису і відтворення свідомості, отримання дітей в штучної апаратурі, зміни «програми розвитку» людини, записаної в ДНК — з метою усунення старості і смерті. Також Дніпров писав памфлети («Світ, у якому я зник», 1961) і гумористичні оповідання («Кінець "Рудої хризантеми"», 1963; «Інтерв'ю з регулювальником вуличного руху», 1964).

Впродовж останнього десятиріччя життя Дніпров працював в московському науково-дослідному інституті інтроскопії (1967-68 рр), Інституті економіки і міжнародних відносин, жив в Москві. У ці роки Анатолій Дніпров все більш став цікавитися проблемами часу. Цьому присвячені стаття «Час тече вперед», оповідання «Там, де закінчується річка» (1966) і «Смішний баобаб» (1970). В них автор просуває ідею, що часу підвладне все, в тому числі людське життя, але непідвладна пам'ять нащадків.

Помер у 1975 році в Москві.

Bastar police on Wednesday arrested a person along the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border and recovered 150 gelatin rods.
RAIPUR: Bastar police on Wednesday arrested a person along the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border and recovered 150 gelatin rods, and 300 electronic detonators from him. In another incident, the Border Security Force (BSF) busted a Maoist hideout in the forested terrain of Kanker district and seized a cache of arms and banners.
"The explosive consignment was apparently meant for the Maoists. On a tip-off we arrested the person who brought it from Odisha's Malkangiri district. We have registered a case and will interrogate him further after taking him into police remand," said Bastar SP Arif H Sheikh.
The arrested person, Dawood Nakka, a resident of Malkangiri, later toldmedia persons that he used the explosives for fishing purposes, and said these are easily available in the restive Malkangiri district.
In the second incident the BSF, based on intelligence inputs carried out a search operation from its Sulangi camp, and spotted a Maoist hideout and tracked down ten SBML (single barrel muzzle loading) guns, Maoist pamphlets, banners and tarpaulin.
BSF officials believe that Maoists might have hidden these arms, used during their annual Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign (TCOC) from March till around mid-June, and can access it based on their need.
The forces carried out the search operation in the region, about 200 km south of Raipur. Jagdalpur and Kanker are among the worst-affected Maoist districts in the conflict zone of Bastar.

Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) announced its latest funding recipients last week, including three projects funded through the Current Issues Content Fund, made possible by a generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The remaining eleven projects were funded through LPB's 2020 Public Media Content Fund.
This year's awardees tell particularly timely stories, from North Carolina to Texas to California from Puerto Rico to Mexico to Venezuela, and many reflect the enormous impact that the past year has had on the Latino community. From the COVID-19 pandemic to a renewed focus on the devastation wrought by poverty and inequality, these films offer an on-the-ground look at the diversity of experience of Latinos here and abroad.
2020 Hulu/Kartemquin Accelerator fellow and 2017 DVID alum Colette Ghunim's project Traces of Home was among those awarded funds. A team of DVID alums, Esau Melendez (2014) and Mario Contreras (2013), were also awarded funding to support their project Mi Casa. Read more about the projects below.
Traces of Home

Funding: Public Media Content Fund
In an attempt to discover her roots, filmmaker Colette Ghunim embarks on a journey with her parents to find their ancestral homes in Mexico and Palestine after being forced to leave decades ago. While navigating physical borders in both lands, her family's internal barriers break down, exposing the traumas that forced them to leave and continue to challenge dynamics together.
Director/Producer: Esau Melendez
Producer: Mario Contreras
Descendants of the first Mexican immigrants in Aurora, Illinois, who came in the early 20th century to build new lives as railroad workers in nearby Chicago, recall their family stories about the boxcar communities in which they lived and thrived.
