Although the Yankees have 147 games remaining this year — their season is only 9.3% complete! — it already feels like they need some outside help. The injuries are mounting and, with CC Sabathia having returned over the weekend, it doesn't seem like anyone is particularly close to coming back. The Yankees will be without several core players another few weeks.
April is typically way too early to consider trades, though things are different these days. There is a single July 31st trade deadline now and we are in baseball's post-competitive era. Roughly one-third of the league is unabashedly tanking. Anything to improve amateur talent acquisition opportunities (part of it) and trim payroll (most of it) is encouraged and even celebrated in some circles.
March 27th: Traded Kendrys Morales to the A's for Jesus Lopez and international bonus money.
April 2nd: Traded Kevin Pillar to the Giants for Derek Law, Alen Hansen, and Juan De Paula.
Law cleared waivers in February. Hansen was designated for assignment days prior to the trade. De Paula, who the Yankees sent to the Giants in the Andrew McCutchen trade, ranks 30th on MLB.com's Blue Jays prospect list. Lopez is nowhere to be found on any prospect list. The Blue Jays saved $7.8M in those trades. That was their primary motivation.
It stands to reason the Blue Jays will trade more veterans in the coming weeks. Stroman could go, Sanchez could go, Ken Giles could go, Freddy Galvis could go, and Justin Smoak will very likely go. Smoak is an impending free agent and Toronto has a ready-made replacement in Rowdy Tellez. There's no sense in keeping him, and that creates an opportunity for the Yankees, who could use a player like Smoak. Let's talk it out.
1. He's an upgrade over Greg Bird. Let's be real here, the "better than Greg Bird" bar isn't especially high these days. Bird is hitting .171/.293/.257 (58 wRC+) in the early going this season and he owns a .194/.287/.388 (80 wRC+) batting line in 522 plate appearances since Opening Day 2017. That is bad production for a defense first middle infielder. It is appalling for a bat only first baseman. That homer against Andrew Miller only goes so far.
Real talk: If Greg Bird had put up numbers like Smoak's from 2017-18, he would be talked about as a cornerstone Yankee and an extension candidate. I know like 46.347% of you clicked over here saying to yourself "ewww no not Justin Smoak," but it's true. Bird would've been un-damn-touchable with Smoak's numbers.
Bird has not put up anything particularly close to Justin Smoak numbers though. Smoak is a switch-hitter who is most effective on the heavy side of the platoon, and he'll draw walks without an excessive strikeout rate. Last week he reminded everyone he can turn around a 99 mph fastball and hit it out to the deepest part of the ballpark.
? That is a no joke home run. Smoak elevated a 99 mph fastball at the knees and parked it in dead center field. Could you even imagine Greg Bird putting a 99 mph fastball in play right now? I can't, because he's literally never done it at the MLB level. Statcast says Bird has made contact with a 99+ mph fastball once in the big leagues, and that was a foul ball in September 2015. Yeah.
That "Healthy Yankees" lineup is almost certainly never going to happen, but a man can dream. The "Current Yankees" lineup though? Slotting in Smoak rather than Bird makes it look so much better. He fits in nicely between the two big righty bats, provides lineup balance as a switch-hitter, and oh yeah he actually provides some thump. That's kind of a big deal. Bird to Triple-A and Smoak at first base is a clear multi-win upgrade.
2. He's already familiar with the AL East. Is this is a reason to make a trade? Not necessarily, but it isn't something to ignore either. This is Smoak's fifth season with the Blue Jays (already?). He is an AL East veteran. He knows the ballparks and he knows the cities, and, most importantly, he knows the opposing pitchers. For the Yankees to get where they want to go this year, they'll have to beat the Red Sox and Rays, and Smoak is familiar with those teams. That familiarity with the AL East could help his post-trade transition. It's not nothing.
3. His contract is not onerous. Smoak reached some plate appearance salary escalators in his contract the last few years and will earn $8M this season. That's all. The season is nearly three weeks old now and Smoak is still owed roughly $7.15M the rest of the way. Cot's says the Yankees' luxury tax payroll is at $226.7M right now, so they're over the $226M second luxury tax tier. That $7.15M becomes $9.44M in real money when adding in the luxury tax.
Even then, the Yankees should be willing to add $9.44M to payroll in an effort to stay in the postseason race. The way things are going right now, I'm not sure they can expect to be within striking distance of the division title by time guys get healthy. The Yankees need help now. Not weeks from now. Also, the Yankees could get the Blue Jays to eat some money to make it work. They've done that with various trades in the recent past and could do it again. Point is, this is rental player with a reasonable salary. If Smoak doesn't work for the Yankees financially, I'm not sure anyone will.
4. It shouldn't cost much to get him. What other contending teams need a first baseman (or a DH)? I suppose the Athletics could get involved if Matt Olson's recovery from hand surgery doesn't go well. They already traded for Morales though, so probably not. Maybe the Nationals or Rockies? That's pretty much it. The Blue Jays are likely hoping some contender gets hit with a first base injury to create a trade market for Smoak. The Yankees, if you haven't noticed, have a need for him due to injuries.
What are the Blue Jays getting for Smoak beyond salary relief, realistically? Toronto is not getting anything close to a Paul Goldschmidt package for Smoak. Yonder Alonso was traded for a non-top-30 prospect over the winter. Steve Pearce was traded for a non-top-30 prospect last summer. C.J. Cron bounced around waivers over the winter. Smoak is a solid Major Leaguer, but I'm not sure the demand for first base only guys has ever been as low as it is right now.
The Yankees have pitching prospects in spades. They could put a Rule 5 Draft eligible 40-man roster bubble guy like Nick Nelson on the table, or a lower level arm like Juan Then or Rony Garcia, and make the Blue Jays say no. The alternative is continuing to pay Smoak while waiting (and hoping) for a market to develop, and possibly losing him for nothing as a free agent after the season. I think the price to get him would be very easy to swallow.
My guess is the Blue Jays are motivated to trade Smoak. The sooner they move him, the more money they save — trading Pillar and his $5.8M salary for minimal return tells you they consider no salary too small to dump — and it also opens up first base for Tellez. I imagine their rest-of-season plan is effectively a three-man first base/third base/DH rotation with Vlad Jr., Tellez, and Brandon Drury. Smoak's not a long-term piece. Those guys are (or might be, at least).
Last year's J.A. Happ trade shows the Yankees and Blue Jays can get together for a trade. There's no outdated "oh no we can't trade within the division!" logic in play here. We know the Yankees and Blue Jays will trade with one another because we saw them do it recently. One way or another, Smoak's time in Toronto is coming to an end soon. The Yankees need help now and Smoak would be an upgrade on both sides of the ball at first base without breaking the bank. It fits.
The Yankees have a 1.5 game lead in the race for home field in the Wild Card game with 16 games to play. It's effectively a 2.5 game lead, in fairness, as they do hold the tiebreaker over the Oakland A's. As they enter their last homestand of the season, this series feels rather important – and not just because they went 4-5 on their last road trip. The Yankees are a better team at home, and having that edge in a win or go home game is huge.
Game one was a rain-shortened affair, with the Yankees picking up the win due to some timely home runs by Neil Walker and Giancarlo Stanton and strong relief efforts from Chad Green and David Robertson. Due to weird scoring quirks, Robertson actually picked up the save despite not recording the last out of the game (it was called in the bottom of the 7th).
Miguel Andujar had a big series, going 6-for-13 with 2 doubles, a home run, and 8 RBI.
Didi Gregorius suffered his heel injury in the third and final game of the series, but he's back now and that's all that matters … right?
Brandon Drury (hand), Marcus Stroman (blister), and Troy Tulowitzki (feet) are done for the season; Russell Martin is on paternity leave, but is expected back this weekend.
The Blue Jays are 65-81 with a -105 run differential, which put them 22nd and 24th in the majors, respectively. Since these teams last played they made headlines for confirming that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – who hit over .400 at Double-A and .336/.414/.564 in 30 games at Triple-A – would not get the call to the show for a variety of inane reasons; it'll be interesting to see what, if anything, comes of these service time debacles. They also dealt Curtis Granderson to the Brewers, and Josh Donaldson to the Indians for a non-prospect in a trade that has made many teams quite angry.
Rookie and 80-grade name Rowdy Tellez (249 OPS+ in 23 PA) should see time at 1B and/or DH. Russell Martin (87 OPS+), Devon Travis (83 OPS+), and Teoscar Hernandez (110 OPS+) figure to play, as well.
Estrada is wrapping up the worst season of his career. He's currently sitting on a 5.32 ERA (79 ERA+) in 130.1 IP with career-worst home run and strikeout rates. The Yankees have seen Estrada three times this year, scoring 9 runs in 18 innings; though, one of those starts was a one-run, 6 IP effort.
This will be the fifth start of Reid-Foley's career, and his second against the Yankees. His first time in the Bronx didn't go too well (for him, at least), as he allowed 8 runs (6 earned) in 4.1 IP. Gregorius, Stanton, and Andujar all took him deep. Reid-Foley did follow that up with a gem against the hapless Marlins, though, pitching to the following line: 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 10 K.
Rare is the occasion when I write-up a post like this and come across a completely unfamiliar name, but here we are. Pannone is a 24-year-old rookie southpaw who debuted back on August 10, and has served as the Blue Jays swingman since then. He actually pitched against the Yankees back on August 19, holding them scoreless for 1.1 innings. Pannone opened this season with an 80-game PED suspension (which he denied – successfully – on a polygraph test, for whatever that's worth), and only made 10 appearances in the minors before being called-up to the show.
Pannone is a three-pitch junkballer, featuring a high-80s four-seamer, a low-80s change-up, and a low-70s curve. From that description, he kind of sounds like a left-handed version of Estrada.
Ken Giles (5.32 ERA) and old friend Tyler Clippard (3.68 ERA) share the closing duties, and Ryan Tepera (3.71 ERA) is also in the high-leverage outs mix. Rookies Jose Fernandez (1.50 ERA in 6.0 IP) and Tim Mayza (3.69 ERA) have seen heavy duty this month, as well. It's not a great bullpen – which is to be expected, considering their trade deadline – but it's not awful.
I'm interested in a longer look at Billy McKinney, and Rowdy Tellez has built-up a small cult-like following in his few weeks in the majors. Beyond that, the Blue Jays aren't a terribly interesting team. Most of the focus on this series will be on the Yankees ability to hold the line.
The Yankees snapped their mini losing streak and offensive slump with a rain-shortened 7-5 win over the Blue Jays in Friday's opener. It was their first game called early because of weather since July 23, 2014 against the Rangers, a game that was stopped in the fifth.
It's the first time the Yankees won a game after giving up four or more runs in the first inning since … May 3 last year against Toronto. The opposing starter that the Yankees pounded that day in the Bronx? Yup, Marcus Stroman, the same guy that the Yankees blitzed on Friday.
Didi Gregorius (RBI triple) and Miguel Andujar (RBI double) sparked the rally in the bottom of the first, quickly cutting the deficit to two runs. Gregorius' triple was his fourth of the season, the same number he had in his previous three seasons combined with the team. Andujar's two-bagger was his 35th of the season, putting the young third baseman in elite company.
Neil Walker turned a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 advantage with one swing of the bat in the fourth inning. His three-run shot off Stroman was his seventh homer of the season but his first as a Yankee that gave the team a lead.
Giancarlo Stanton capped off the scoring with a mammoth solo shot to right-center in the bottom of the seventh, just before the rainstorm halted the game. It went a projected 431 feet, the fifth time this season he hit a homer of at least 430 feet to center or the opposite field, tied with Bryce Harper for the most in the majors through Friday.
The Yankees continued to bash Blue Jays pitching, scoring in double digits for the first time in more than six weeks en route to a homer-fueled 11-6 win on Saturday. They hit four home runs, giving them 201 through 123 games played. The only team in MLB history to reach the 200-homer mark quicker was the 2005 Rangers, who needed 122 games.
Luis Severino, who entered the game still struggling through a deep month-plus slump, bounced back from a terrible outing against the Mets earlier in the week to throw one of his best starts since the beginning of July. Though he struggled with his pitch efficiency (needed 100 pitches to get 15 outs), and gave up a bunch of hard contact (5 of 12 balls in play had an exit velocity of 98-plus mph), he was able to limit the damage to two runs while getting eight strikeouts.
The most encouraging number might be zero, as in the number of home runs he allowed. It was his first clean outing since July 1, and he had coughed up 11 dingers in his previous seven games before Saturday. His fastball command seemed to be improved, as he mostly avoided the meatball four-seamers that had plagued him recently. Even when he did leave a few of them over the heart of the plate, he was able to generate a whiff or a foul, giving up just two singles on his heater.
The Yankees completed the three-game sweep and finished off their 11-game homestand with another easy blowout win on Sunday, 10-2. They're now a season-high 32 games above .500, the first time they've reached that mark since they ended the 2011 season with a 97-65 record.
They put up nearly identical box score numbers as the previous game, exploding for 10 runs and 12 hits (had 11 runs and 11 hits on Saturday). This was the 629th game in the history of the Jays-Yanks rivalry, but the first time the Yankees scored at least 10 runs in back-to-back games against them.
The Yankees wasted no time in lighting up the scoreboard as the first six batters each scored in the opening frame before Kyle Higashioka flew out to center for the first out. You have to go back more than two decades to find the last time the Yankees scored at least six runs to start a game prior to making an out — on May 17, 1997 against the Rangers in Texas. The last time they did at at Yankee Stadium was September 25, 1990 against the Orioles.
That Rays series was a bummer, right? Yuck. Two opportunities to win the series with one clunker and another lifeless heartbreaker. Luckily, the Yankees' schedule moves down the AL East standings to the Blue Jays, who got into New York late last night. They had their series finale in Kansas City delayed by rain and then had to fly all the way to NYC. Good chance to catch a tired team.
The Yankees will face Marcus Stroman, who the Bombers roughed up in April. Read more about that in Domenic's series preview. Good stuff as always from Dom! Meanwhile, Lance Lynn toes the rubber aiming for his fourth straight good outing as a Yankee. He closed his forgettable April with a loss to the Jays, but he's looked like a different pitcher over the last month. A strong 0.54 ERA since the trade deadline.
There's a chance of thunderstorms right around first pitch, though it's only about 50-50. An opportunity for a small delay, but they'll should be able to get this game in, interruption or no. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM EST and the broadcast will be on WPIX, not YES, though you can catch pregame and postgame on YES.
Jays Roster Moves: The Blue Jays called up Billy McKinney this afternoon to replace Luke Maile, who is on paternity leave. That gives McKinney the opportunity to play his first game at Yankee Stadium after making his only appearance as a Yankee at Rogers Centre.
Update: 10 p.m. Game is in a rain delay with the Yankees leading, 7-5, in the bottom of the seventh. Rain is coming in steady, so it may be a while until they continue or call it.
Update: 11:10 p.m. Game is called and it's a Yankee win! Won't have the recap up for a while, so here's a one-sentence recap: Bullpen and offense made up for early Lynn struggles while Stanton and Walker both went deep. Huzzah.
With yesterday's loss, the Yankees are officially a .500 team in the second-half, sitting at 13-13 since the All-Star break. They have a +3 run differential in that time, so it isn't all bad luck, either. This upcoming stretch is a great opportunity to turn it around, though, as their next five series (or sixteen games) are against teams that are comfortably below .500.
The Blue Jays are up first.
David Hale, in his last appearance with the team, saved the bullpen in the first game. Sonny Gray was pulled after the second inning, and Hale got the call – and he soaked up 5.2 innings, allowing just one run. You can't ask for much more than that from a journeyman up-and-down guy.
Domingo German had one of the best starts of his young career in the final game of the series, allowing one run on five hits and two walks in six innings, striking out five. Gardner gave the Yankees the win with a 10th-inning single.
Check out Katie's Yankeemetrics post for more interesting facts.
Josh Donaldson, former Yankee Brandon Drury, Aaron Sanchez, Yangervis Solarte and Troy Tulowitzki are all out with injuries, and none are expected back for this series.
The Blue Jays are 55-66 with a -76 run differential, having waved the white flag heading into the trade deadline. They dealt Seung Hwan Oh, J.A. Happ, Roberto Osuna, John Axford and Aaron Loup in late-July and, were it not for his injury, they may have dealt Donaldson as well. And they're still active now, as they've been shopping Curtis Granderson after passing him through waivers. Now's as good a time as any to say that Granderson would look really good in pinstripes.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is batting .353/.452/.627 (201 wRC+) in Triple-A right now, with more walks (10) than strikeouts (7) in 62 PA. This, after hitting .402/.449/.671 in 266 PA at Double-A. It'd be pretty great to see him at the highest level.
Russell Martin is still playing non-catcher positions fairly regularly, and I think that exemplifies the hand that manager John Gibbons has been dealt this season.
Randal Grichuk (97 OPS+) will probably start and play right field against J.A. Happ on Sunday. Luke Maile (84 OPS+) will see time at catcher, too.
The Yankees have faced Stroman twice this season, and they've hit him hard both times. His line in those two starts: 10.1 IP, 8 H, 12 R (10 ER), 7 BB, 13 K, 2 HR. It's been a rough year for Stroman on the whole, as the 27-year-old has pitched to a 5.03 ERA (84 ERA+) thus far while also spending about a month and a half on the disabled list. He has looked better of late, though.
The 22-year-old Reid-Foley made his big league debut on Monday, having earned the call-up by pitching well at both Double-A (2.03 ERA in 44.1 IP) and Triple-A (3.50 ERA in 82.1 IP) this season. He was a second-round pick out of high school back in 2014, and he has slowly but surely risen through the Blue Jays organization to find himself here today. Reid-Foley was a bit disappointing in 2017, but he was a consensus top-100 prospect prior to last year.
Reid-Foley is a four-pitch guy, featuring a mid-90s four-seamer, a mid-80s change-up, a mid-80s slider, and a low-80s curveball.
Borucki's third big league start came against the Yankees on July 8, and it was a good one. The 24-year-old rookie tossed seven innings of one-run ball, scattering seven hits and walking two, while striking out five. He's been quite good for the Blue Jays so far, pitching to a 3.29 ERA in nine starts, and averaging just under six IP per start. He doesn't strike anyone out (14.5 K%), but his walk and groundball rates are a tick above-average, and it's working so far.
The Blue Jays dealt four relievers leading into the deadline, and it shows. Tyler Clippard (3.44 ERA) and Ryan Tepera (3.98 ERA) are splitting closing duties for now, and they've been serviceable. It's a bit of a horror show behind those two, though, with Joe Biagini (5.70 ERA), Jake Petricka (4.88 ERA), and Ken Giles (10.80 ERA with Toronto) seeing lots of action. They have a bottom-ten bullpen on the season, and that's with a few months of Osuna, Oh, Loup, and Axford.
Can the Yankees round back into form against a bad team? That's the biggest question heading into this series, as they really need to take advantage of this favorable schedule. The Blue Jays aren't as bad as some of the other teams coming up, but they're a subpar team that has punted already, and that shows.
And maybe – just maybe – we'll see Granderson traded back to the Bronx midway through the series. Wouldn't that be neat?
Earlier today the Yankees acquired RHP George Kontos, then, a little while later, they acquired 3B Gio Urshela from the Blue Jays for cash, the team announced. He's not on the 40-man roster and he's going to Triple-A. Urshela, 26, hit .233/.283/.326 (66 wRC+) in 19 games with the Indians and Blue Jays earlier this year before being outrighted. He's a great defensive player. You may remember this. Urshela effectively replaces Brandon Drury with the RailRiders.

The UAE's smallest and least traversed emirate, Ajman is making big strides when it comes to developing its tourism offering. From sporting events to stunning stretches of coastline, the tiny seaside town, spread over only 259 square kilometres, has undergone major development in the past decade and in spite of its size, offers a wealth of hidden gems. Here are 10 things to do and see in the emirate.
Kayaking at Al Zorah Nature Reserve
Al Zorah Nature Reserve in Ajman hosts 58 species of birds
The best way to soak up the beauty of Al Zorah Nature Reserve is via kayak. The calm waters around the lush green mangroves also make it an ideal spot for beginners. Home to an abundance of flora and fauna, the area hosts 58 species of birds, including flamingos, egrets and herons. Aqdar Adventures invites visitors to take part in its mangrove planting initiative, which is a great way to experience the area's rich biodiversity, as well as a fun way to teach the little ones about the importance of wetlands to the local ecosystem.

In the tiny enclave of Masfout, famous for its fertile agricultural lands, visitors can expect some impressive scenery. Surrounded by the emirates of Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, as well as neighbouring Oman, Masfout offers the perfect escape from the city. Masfout Canyon is only 90 minutes from Dubai and is located close to Hatta, which boasts higher altitudes and cooler climes. A trek up to Masfout Castle is also well worth the effort.
Heritage at Masfout Castle
The picturesque Masfout Castle, a mountain-top fort 120km south-east of Ajman city, is one of the few historical sites in the emirate. The 19th-century structure was restored in the late 1940s and reflects the architecture and construction methods of the time, which favoured stone, mud and timber. The small castle has just two rooms and a gate, and offers fantastic views from its defensive lookout.

A new watersports centre will open soon at Al Zorah, one of the best spots from which to enjoy the beautiful waters around Ajman's eastern coastline. Whether you are stand-up paddle boarding or windsurfing, the emirate's turquoise waters are one of its biggest assets. The local hotels along the corniche and on Al Zorah beach also offer a range of watersports options, even for non-residents.
A post shared by Caravana Beach Resort, Alzorah (@caravana.ae)
Caravana Beach Resort Al Zorah is the emirate's popular campsite by the sea, and veers towards the glamping side of things. Quaint little caravans of different sizes mean visitors can leave the sleeping bags at home. Facilities include barbecue areas, activities such as horse riding and an outdoor cinema. Also on Al Zorah is Bianky Beach Camp, another purpose-built site with facilities that include a swimming pool and activities such as fishing and diving, as well as live music. Bianky offers visitors chalets, villas and tents. The beauty of both is they are fully catered, with restaurants on site, making the stay totally hassle-free.

Licensed fishing fans can head to one of the best spots for the sport, near Ajman Hotel (former Kempinski) at the far end of the Corniche. Early mornings and a few hours before dusk are known to be the best times to try your luck. For a more adventurous excursion, deep sea fishing is also available through local vendors around Ajman with snapper, grouper and barracuda among the big catch to be found.
Ajman Museum
A post shared by Ajman Museums (@ajmanmuseums)
Serving as the ruler's palace until 1970, the museum, also known as Ajman Fort, is now open to the public and displays a range of historical artefacts, from jewellery and ancient manuscripts to tombs and weaponry. There are also archaeological finds dating as far back as 3,000 BC. The 18th-century fort, located on the east side of the central square in the Al Bustan area, is testament to the small emirate's big history. Cultural displays such as Emirati dance are also on offer at the museum, offering a window into the country's Bedouin roots.

So, does aid still do more good than harm?
If it was true that "western aid now does more harm than good", as Ian Birrell argues in the Evening Standard today, then this must surely entail the truth of the following two further propositions too.
* If we reduce development aid, rather than increasing it, then we would make it easier to reach the Millennium Development Goals more quickly.
* If we abolish all development aid as soon as is practicable, we will make it easier to reach the Millennium Development Goals.
If somebody could offer a persuasive, evidence-based proof of those claims, then I would certainly become an advocate of the reduction and abolition of development aid. It is the Millennium Development Goals which matter, not the quantity of aid and the mixture of other means which we should use to try to bring them about. (I am not going to accept a "the millennium development goals don't matter" view argument against the potential value of development aid, though others might reject these propositions but oppose aid for other reasons: charity begins at home, and so on. But the claim that aid does more harm than good makes this traditional trade-off superfluous, as long as it can be substantiated).
Should, on the other hand, the evidence suggests that aid, done right, can still make a valuable contribution to broader strategies for development and achieve the outcomes which Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell set out in the Commons today, including preventing the unnecessary deaths of a quarter of a million newborn babies, (helpfully summarised on Left Foot Forward, along with reaction and comment) then I will continue to support Andrew Mitchell and the Coalition government's decision to build on the record of the Labour government, as the Labour Campaign for International Development sets out) by committing 0.7% of our GDP to development aid.
But let's hear what the evidence is. Do leave a comment or get in touch if you can identify the best resources on when aid is effective or ineffective - and whether it should be increased, reformed or chopped.
0.7% is arbitrary, argues Birrell. And so would 1% or 0.5% or 0% - except that it was set as an international norm. For sure, if aid can be effective, the quantity of aid would be less important than its effective use. (If it is inherently useless and out-of-date, then again the question of its effective use would not arise either).
I can agree with several other things that Ian Birrell argues in the piece.
If we really want to tackle global poverty there are many things we can do. We should lift trade barriers, stop dumping cheap produce, stop arms sales to repressive regimes, crack down on British firms that use bribery and prosecute the pimps in pinstripes who live off the immoral earnings of despots who plunder their nations. We could even allow more immigration, since remittances are by far the most effective source of direct aid.
We could push and campaign for all of these things and more. We should seek to radically reform the Common Agricultural Policy too. The trade round has been horribly stuck for years despite the contribution it could make to global growth and development, The pressure is for less immigration, rather than more. (Birrell has indeed been consistent in criticising the Coalition's immigration cap).
But it is a separate question again. As we try to advance on every front that would be good for development, would it be better to increase development aid, maintain it, or to cut, denigrate and seek to abolish it?
And, again, it is worth conceding several of the arguments. It is certainly possible to agree that aid can go disastrously wrong as well as right, that the way in which it is delivered can be patronising rather than empowering, that the assumptions of an aid-centred view of development is out of date, and should be challenged and replaced.
All of this can be true. But it does not yet amount to an argument that aid does less good than harm.
Ian Birrell's commitment and interest in development is not in question. I thought his recent feature in The Observer on a New Africa - It is time the world listened to new stories from Africa was, broadly, an excellent contribution to the type of shift of focus that would be valuable. ("If we really want to help, we can lift trade restrictions, support those fighting for civil society and ignore the current squeals over new anti-bribery legislation"). "But we should focus relentlessly on trade and not on aid" seemed to be simply thrown in as an aside and a contrast, without any substantive discussion of the pros and cons of aid itself.
Indeed The Observer's while editorial struck the middle course of championing the 'narrative' shift away from aid, while explicitly rejecting this anti-aid argument, on the grounds that aid was still needed, and urgently too:
Six of the 10 most rapidly expanding economies in the world over the past decade were in sub-Saharan Africa: Angola, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mozambique and Chad, countries we have stalked for decades in search of war, famine and corruption. But their stories are changing.
With this acceleration in growth comes an improvement in living conditions. In the past decade, the poverty rate and child mortality have declined, primary school enrolment has increased and more Africans have access to clean water. Clearly, many of the countries still face serious challenges and there is still an urgent need for aid in the short term. But the narrative is changing and while we have been busy telling one African story, they have been busier writing another.
So there ought to be much common ground in these debates - and the potential for a sensible centre, away from the eye-catching media debate usually sparked by anti-aid polemics.
Trade liberalisation is a very important source of growth and development, but whether and how it does that depends on accountable governance, as Amartya Sen has long stressed. In his powerful book The Bottom Billion, Paul Collier makes several significant criticisms of well-meaning development campaigns. Collier also argues that issues other than aid - trade access, public accountability and security - are more important, but that "more aid would probably be helpful" in the right places for the right causes.
So advocates of aid need to demonstrate the good that it does, if placed in a broader agenda. And the question for those who want to shift the focus away from aid may also be whether beginning yet another debate about aid is the best way to do it.
The domestic implications for political philosophy of Ian Birrell's position are not the central point. He is writing as an independent commentator who is very active in civic development projects, rather than with his ex-Cameron speechwriter hat on.
However, his position also captures a central tension within Cameronism, as he could well claim to be more authentically Cameroonian in his rejection of Cameronism on development aid.
The first point is that Birrell rejects a high-profile political choice of "brand detoxification Cameronism" (of which he is a leading advocate), essentially on the grounds that being pro-aid is gesture politics from the moderate centre-right, which would be rejected on the basis of a real engagement with development issues.
(There are, however, less calculating accounts of the Tory Modernisers' motives in deliberately choosing to be on the other side of a public majority over more aid spending: Matthew d'Ancona has written that the teenage George Osborne was personally much affected by the formative moment for his generation of Live Aid: "If you want to understand why Osborne ring-fenced the international development budget, remember that for his generation, Live Aid was a formative event to rank with Mandela's release and the fall of the Berlin Wall"). It is not a side of George we see so often.
Still, there could well be a ProgCon contradiction here. It is rather strange for Cameron to see the NHS and development aid as the key symbols of brand detoxification at home and abroad. Both are very "big state" ways to be a compassionate conservative.
So, in fact, it is Birrell who offers the more authentically Cameroonian argument, albeit it in a field in which Cameron and his government reject it. Because Cameronism was articulated as a "conservative means to progressive ends, its argument was explicitly set out that Progressive Conservatives will be the real champions of tackling poverty, climate change and under-development - because they know that the state won't be able do it. In the past, the state could make progress on these fronts. In the future, it will do more harm than good, as Cameron argued in The Independent in 2008 in one of his clearest statements of his ProgCon theory.
This is not just happening by default, because the centre-left experiment that began in 1994 has failed. Neither is it because we have made social justice and environmentalism priorities for the modern Conservative Party. It is happening because of history – because social, technological and economic change means that in the 21st century progressive ends can only be met through conservative means.
Take the fight against poverty. We can see that in the 20th century, the methods of the centre-left – principally income redistribution and social programmes run by the state – had considerable success in relieving poverty. It would be churlish to pretend otherwise. But those methods have now run their course. The returns from big state intervention are not just diminishing, they are disappearing.
If the Cameroonian philosophy and history does stack up, then the big state is crowding out the progress we need.
So it would be likely that the withdrawal of the state will, on balance, do more good than harm to reducing inequality, restoring community, decarbonising the economy and promoting global development. On domestic inequality, all of the comparative evidence suggests the opposite is the case, as Nick Clegg's adviser Richard Reeves has also cogently argued. On climate change, I find it is difficult to see how the 'less state' agenda achieves the progressive end (which is perhaps why non-ciimate sceptic Tory modernisers tend not to argue this in that area of policy). On global development, I would like to see what evidence the 'aid does more harm than good' advocates can really bring to the debate.
Unless and until there is stronger evidence to the contrary, I am inclined to think that - on development aid - the Cameron government is right to reject Cameronism, and not just to maintain an aid programme, but to increase it.
But these are empirical as well as philosophical questions. Whether it is a smaller state and the big society at home, or the case against development aid abroad, the political choice is primarily about whether we want to embark on the experiment.
On aid, I think Andrew Mitchell is probably wise to not gamble on that leap into the dark.
Tim Montgomerie, ConservativeHome editor, offered a punchy defence of the government's commitment to the 0.7% development aid target in The Times (£).
With aid cuts, the British taxpayer could, for example, save £2.22 — the price of a tall chai latte in Starbucks — but DfID could no longer vaccinate ten children against polio. We could save £4 — the price of a bottle of Cape Peak Chardonnay at Tesco — but a Senegalese mother wouldn't have an insecticide-treated mosquito net.
Britain cannot solve all of the world's problems but it's hardly extravagant to spend 0.7 per cent of our national income trying to help the hungriest and poorest. We aren't spending this money just because it's morally right. It's also a lot cheaper to stop a poor country failing than to fix a state that has already become a source of asylum seekers, terrorism and piracy.
Owen Tudor for TUC Touchstone follows Harriet Harman in flagging up a stealthy saving of £2.2 billion on development by keeping current spending levels for two years, before hiking aid by 30% in just one year at the end. That is almost certainly not the best route to ensuring effective value for money from development spending.

Excellent article. Interesting to bring in the 'Cameroonian' argument re state intervention. In fairness I don't think he meant it in a development context - he'd be clearly wrong since the Washington Consensus is long dead and overwhelming evidence from Stiglitz, Ha-Joon Chang, Oxfam and others show that no country in history has lifted its people out of poverty without an active state, the infant industry arguments etc. Just look at China.

Across a Star-Swept Sea is set in the same world as For Darkness Shows the Stars. If you remember my review of that book, you'll remember that I really enjoyed the world Diana created. Persuasion is one of my all time favorite books and I really enjoyed the retelling, set in this future society. When I found out there is a companion novel, I was very excited. Not sure what to expect from The Scarlet Pimpernel retelling, I have to be honest and admit I really enjoyed it.
Persis is a rich spoiled girl, living life to the fullest away from the apprising on the island of Galetea. What the rest of the world doesn't know is that Persis is actually the infamous Wild Poppy, rebel and spy. Along with a group of trusted confidants, she battles the injustices that are brought on by those in power. When a handsome Galatean medic comes to her rescue on a mission gone not as well as she planned it, her world changes. Now, they are to play a loving couple in the eyes of everyone and Persis finds out that saving innocents is not the hardest job she could have. Keeping herself from really falling for Justen is.
Persis is an interesting character. I loved seeing the two sides of her, the rebel and the spoiled brat, battling each other. She is a brilliant girl who has to hide that aspect of her at every turn. I liked seeing the kind of a person she was with her friends and family. She had the smarts and the confidence to pull of being Wild Poppy, but she also had the compassion that set her apart from others. Sure, at times, I wanted to scream at her, but that was mostly when it came to Justen.
Now, Justen. Oh, Justen. He has just as many secrets as Persis, and he carries them close to his heart. I like that Justen has a conscience, that he wants to do something to right the wrongs of the society. He has a good heart and the love for his sister is adorable. It's fun seeing Persis and Justen together. She tries so hard to keep up her charade, yet he ends up seeing through it anyway. On the other hand, she has to forgive him for many things. I think that's what I like best about their relationship. It's not all beds of roses, they really have to work at it.
The world Diana created is powerful and unique. The characters that live in this world are fresh and intriguing. The combination of the two makes for an interesting tale. I really enjoyed how the first book tied in to the second, and it was nice seeing the characters from the other book. If you enjoyed book one, I highly recommend Across a Star-Swept Sea. The book hits shelves on October 15th, 2013. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Supporters of Valentino Nii Noi Nortey, who lost to Phillip Addison in the New Patriotic Party's parliamentary primary in the Klottey Korle Constituency, have vowed to defect to the camp of National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The supporters claim the votes on Saturday, February 27 "were turned upside down" in favour of Mr Addison.
"We know that they turned the cast down," one of the supporters alleged in an interview with TV3's Jonathan Adams after the legal practitioner was declared winner on Saturday.
Mr Nortey, a former constituency chairman, lost by 29 votes to Mr Addison, who polled 396 out of a total of 765 votes.
Mr Nortey's aggrieved supporters say he is the only one who can do the job of reclaiming the seat for the NPP.
Mr Nortey did not sign the declaration form by the Electoral Commission after the votes were declared. He is reported to have stormed out of the venue.

Alternative Legal Service Provider Use by Corporations and Law Firms Exceeding Projections, Creating a $10 Billion Market
Nearly nine in ten large law firms using ALSPs, Big Four competition rising, according to comprehensive study by Thomson Reuters, Georgetown Law, Oxford Saïd Business School & Acritas
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Use of alternative legal service providers (ALSPs) is growing faster than projected and is now more than a $10 billion market as ALSPs rapidly expand their footprint. Large law firms are now more likely to be users of ALSPs than corporate legal departments for many key uses. Those are among the findings in "Alternative Legal Service Providers 2019: Fast Growth, Expanding Use and Increasing Opportunity," a new comprehensive report from Thomson Reuters Legal Executive Institute, The Center on Ethics and the Legal Profession at Georgetown Law, Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford and Acritas.
Among the key findings of the study:
ALSP Market Has Grown to More Than $10B
ALSPs make up a $10.7 billion market for legal services, compared with $8.4 billion as found in the previous survey two years ago, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 12.9 percent. Looking ahead, ALSPs are projecting a growth rate of 25 percent over the next few years.
Corporate Use Growing Faster Than Predicted
Corporate use of ALSPs is growing at a faster rate than predicted in the survey two years ago, particularly for services such as litigation and investigative support, document review, and even specialized and high-value services such as legal research. In some cases, growth has already met or eclipsed five-year projected growth rates in only two years.
In all, 74 percent of corporations surveyed are now using ALSPs in at least one service category, compared with 60 percent in the survey two years ago. Corporations are using ALSPs both directly and indirectly through outside law firms, with an increasing number of corporations reporting internal pressures to use ALSPs to reduce legal expenditures.
Nine in Ten Large Law Firms Now Using ALSPs
Use of ALSPs is now commonplace among law firms at all levels, which are both partnering with ALSPs and developing in-house ALSP affiliates. Eighty-seven percent of large law firms surveyed say they are using ALSPs in at least one service category. Eighty-one percent of midsize firms and 57 percent of small firms are doing the same.
The most common uses of ALSPs for law firms are e-discovery, litigation and investigation support, and legal research.
More than half of law firms surveyed say that ALSPs can help them expand and scale their business, differentiate their services, and retain client relationships.
Big Four Increasingly Competing With Law Firms
As use of ALSPs grows, law firms are increasingly finding themselves competing with the Big Four consulting firms. Nearly a quarter (23 percent) of large law firms say they have had a client use one of the Big Four for work that the law firm had expected to win.
Growth in UK & Canada Accelerating
ALSP use is also growing internationally. Use by law firms and corporations in the UK & Canada is growing, although lagging slightly behind the U.S.
"The 2019 report captures the expanding influence of ALSPs on the global legal ecosystem," said Eric Laughlin, managing director of Thomson Reuters Legal Managed Services. "It's not surprising to see adoption of ALSPs by both legal departments and law firms growing at a pace that has exceeded expectations. Their combination of specialized expertise, unique delivery models and use of cutting-edge technologies is rapidly disrupting the space."
"In a short period of time, ALSPs have evolved from a relatively unknown phenomenon into a fast-growing segment that is an integral part of the legal services industry," said Mari Sako, professor of Management Studies, Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, and one of the co-authors of the report. "ALSPs come in many different shapes and sizes, from independent LPOs to well-backed parts of industry behemoths. They are expanding the available range of services by combining talent and technology to deliver legal services in modes that best suit their clients' needs."
"The pace of change in the legal industry continues to accelerate, and alternative legal service providers are playing a large role in driving that change," said James W. Jones, a senior fellow at the Center on Ethics and the Legal Profession at Georgetown University Law Center and a co-author of the report. "ALSPs offer a variety of business models that can often provide new levels of speed, efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Not only are ALSPs here to stay, but their reach and usage will likely continue to expand rapidly — across applications, customer bases and geographies."

They did not make up the half-time deficit
FK Mladá Boleslav – FC Hradec Králové 1:2 (0:2)
Boleslav lost a match where it had more chances than their rival, namely in the second half, when Hradec hardly crossed the half-way line. Yet they lost all of the points with an inaccurate finishing game. And thus they lost their third championship match in a row.
After a pass from Kulič in the 10th minute, Chramosta missed a clear goal chance when he found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper Koubek, who incidently was playing his first match in the championship, but could only hit his shot againt the keepers leg. Hradec punished this carelessness ten minutes later.
Boleslav had the advantage with a free kick which was taken by Kulič. However, none of his teammates managed to find his centered pass, and Hradec caught them on a lightning fast break. Kalina could not stop the rampaging Štěpán, and his pass found Fischer who easily scored into an empty goal - 0:1.
After the goal Boleslav pushed their rival back into its penalty box. But without effect.
Rolko's precise pass found Chramosta in the 24th minute, who passed to the running Kulič, but the striker did not even get his shot on target from his position in front of the goalie. Chramosta had another chance one minute later from Opiela's pass, but again hit the onrushing goalie.
Hradec scored their second goal in the last minute of the first half in a similar scenario to the first one. Štěpán ran away down the right wing, easily passing Šírl on the by-line and passed the ball back across the goal. Zelený found himself alone ten meters out and sent the ball into the back of the net behind the advancing goalkeeper Miller - 0:2
The second half was played mostly in the Hradec half of the pitch. After a series of inaccurate shooting attempts from Boleslav player's boots, Koubek failed to hold onto a Dimoutsos shot in the 60th minute and it luckily deflected out towards the corner.
Chramosta's final ball in the 64th minute was intercepted by the Hradec defender Pávek who forced a corner; Kulič took the kick and Chramosta headed into into the back of the goal - 1:2.

Living at Bowman Pointe has plenty of free perks. From the Starbucks coffee machine and weekly happy hours to the private movie theater and 24-hour fitness center, our amenities were designed to help you save money throughout the entire year. That way, while you're celebrating the holidays this time of year, you have the funds you need for gifts, travel, and more.
But, for those of you staying home to celebrate the holidays this year, you don't have to go far to feel festive. Here are few ways you can have fun and enjoy the season right here in our incredible clubhouse!
The java bar in the clubhouse lobby does more than make coffee. You can use the coffee machine to brew hot cocoa or hot water for tea, as well. We have a selection of Tazo tea flavors you can drink plain or sweeten with a little sugar, should you so choose. Some hot cocoa will cheer you right up if you're having the cold weather blues.
It's going to be cold outside, so feel free to cozy up on a couch in any of our clubhouse lounges with your beverage and a book.
Or, make it a party! Have some friends over, dress up your drinks with extra toppings, and watch TV next to an indoor fireplace or make s'mores at an outdoor fire pit.
Don't have your favorite holiday movie at home? We're willing to bet it's in our digital library of over 3,000 film titles.
Celebrating the holidays with a movie marathon is easy when you can reserve the movie theater for free and screen whatever film you like. The theater can seat up to 18 of your closest friends and family!
To make a reservation, just speak to a member of our staff. If the free popcorn isn't festive enough for you, you are welcome to bring your own small snacks or beverages.
Our two-story, luxury apartment clubhouse has several spaces perfect for entertaining family, friends, and colleagues. If you're planning a holiday party, these two rooms in particular are best for fun gatherings: the banquet room and wine lounge.
Finding a private space in Little Rock that can hold up to 50 people for a holiday party can be a nightmare. Not anymore! Thankfully, our banquet room is located here in the clubhouse and open for reservations right now.
The banquet room features a long dining table that comfortably seats 18, as well as several round tables that seat four people each. The refrigerator and dishwasher are also available for your use during any holiday party or event.
If you have any questions about reserving this space, using the space, or paying the hourly fees, please contact a member of our staff. We can help coordinate a day and time that works best for you. Just call our office at (501) 725-9055 or text our staff at (501) 289-5427.
Nothing says, "Happy Holidays!" like a party in a wine lounge. Unlike the banquet room, you do not have to reserve the wine lounge ahead of time. So, it's perfect for more informal gatherings with close friends and family.
The wine lounge has a variety of seating options, as well as a bar you can use to display gifts or set up a buffet. Plus, if you add a wine locker lease to your apartment agreement, you could store bottles of wine for your event right there in the wine lounge!
After you're done celebrating the holidays, getting back in shape will also be free and easy at Bowman Pointe. When you're ready to start your New Years resolution, the virtual fitness studio and 24-hour gym will be there when you need them.

//Investigation report Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital October 2016
Investigation report Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital October 2016
The following matter was referred to the Health Ombudsman as part of the transitional process from the Health Quality and Complaints Commission (HQCC) following legislative changes on 1 July 2014. The complaint was made by the mother of a patient regarding the health service her son received from the Rockhampton Hospital and Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) from August to December 2013.
The complainant raised the following concerns about the treatment provided to her son and identified the following issues for investigation:
The delay in diagnosing her son's condition and a further delay to initiate treatment contributed to the poor outcome.
Poor communication between her son's treating medical teams contributed to poor coordination in care and a poor outcome.
Fragmented and poor communication between RBWH staff and her and her family.
Delays in recognising her son's seizure activity and delay in providing treatment.
The complaint regarding Rockhampton Hospital was not progressed as the initial assessment did not identify any concerns with the manner in which Rockhampton Hospital managed the patient. The complaint regarding RBWH was progressed to investigation and was transferred from the HQCC to my office on 1 July 2014.
A review of the original written complaint and initial information provided from HQCC identified the following issues for investigation.
Issue one—The alleged delay in diagnosing and initiating treatment contributed to the poor outcome for the patient:
The failure to consider an alternative diagnosis to that of the patient's known history, despite progressive neurological deterioration.
Significant delay in further investigation and treatment, including insertion of EVD, despite the patient becoming comatose.
Issue two—The alleged poor communication and coordination of care between treating medical teams contributed to the poor outcome for the patient:
Failure to identify and manage a critical clinical deterioration of the patient in line with RBWH medical emergency call criteria protocols.
Inconsistent and brief documentation in recording observations on the patient's different charts failed to appropriately record the seriousness of his condition and progressive neurological deterioration.
Failure to communicate critical information to all members of the treating team.
Lack of protocol and policy at RBWH to inform senior medical officers and treating consultant of clinical deterioration or concerns.
Family being provided limited or conflicting information causing confusion and frustration.
Issue three—The alleged delays in recognising and providing treatment for the patient's seizure activity:
Failure to action concerns raised by the family regarding further deterioration and seizure-like activity between 20 September 2013 and 23 September 2013 following insertion of a shunt on
19 September 2013.
Evidence obtained
The following information was obtained from the RBWH by the HQCC as part of its initial investigation:
a submission in response to the allegations
the patient's medical records
the root cause analysis (RCA) document.
Following a review of the documentation provided by the HQCC, the Office of the Health Ombudsman requested and received the following additional documentation:
additional medical records for the patient relating to his admission to Rockhampton Hospital on 23 August 2013 up to his discharge from RBWH in December 2013
statements from practitioners involved at critical junctures in the patient's treatment
additional information from the complainant in relation to her concerns and the events that took place at RBWH
an update from RBWH on the implementation of the RCA recommendations and lessons learned
independent clinical advice from a registered medical practitioner specialising in neurosurgery.
The Health Ombudsman made the following findings in relation to the identified issues:
Issue 1—The allegation that the delay in diagnosis and treatment of the brain abscess contributed to the poor outcome is substantiated.
Issue 2—The allegation that the poor communication and coordination of care between the treating medical teams contributed to the poor outcome for the patient is substantiated.
Issue 3—While there were deficiencies in the communication with the patient's family, when recorded, appropriate actions were taken to treat the seizure-like activity.
After reviewing and analysing the evidence, the Health Ombudsman determined that the actions taken by RBWH to address the poor outcome for the patient appear to deal adequately with the key issues and to mitigate future risk.
To satisfy the Health Ombudsman that the health and safety of the public is protected in the future, and to determine whether the lessons learned from this incident and actions undertaken have effectively mitigated the risks, Metro North HHS has agreed to the following recommendations.
Recommendation 1—Metro North HHS undertake an evaluation to determine the effectiveness of:
the implementation of the revised urgent clinical review procedure across the Metro North HHS
the changes made to the revised urgent clinical review procedure in improving medical and nursing/midwifery response management of the deteriorating patient at the RBWH.
Recommendation 2—Metro North HHS develop and implement an action plan to increase staff and consumer awareness of Ryan's Rule throughout the RBWH.
The Health Ombudsman determined that no further action will be taken in relation to the matter and the investigation is now closed in accordance with section 44(1)(a)(iv) of the Health Ombudsman Act 2013.


Many economies in the world are characterised by a bank-based financial system, that is, the financial intermediation process is mostly performed by banks. It is therefore critically important to undertake a fully-fledged analysis of the banking sector with respect to financial stability risks.
The Banking Sector Under Financial Stability considers the unique position of banks which by nature assume higher risks, but with a low equity to total assets ratio. It recognises that balance sheet analysis of banks becomes a key element in financial stability risk assessment and that the sources of banks' funding also pose risks to financial stability. The book also gives due consideration to the interactive forces which prevail among banks, macroeconomic states, asset prices, the household sector, and monetary policy. The differences between the US and the European Union are also covered at length, as are the various credit risk models pertinent for banks.

The Reality Gap
'Explore your interests and say yes to your future,' urges the British Council Education website – 'by choosing a respected UK course and a valuable qualification.'
There's nothing I'd like better! I spent my third year abroad in Edinburgh, and fell in love with Scotland. I did my MSc here, and am enrolled to start a PhD this fall. I hope to eventually settle here, bringing my 'fresh talent' to benefit my adopted home.
But the barriers are considerable. While the British Council gushes about 'affordable' UK study and claims 'there are many grants, scholarships and awards available to help fund your studies in the UK,' the reality is much less optimistic. Only a small percentage of students are eligible for an extremely limited number of scholarships, and competition is fierce. Financial need is not taken into account, so wealthy students can snatch up awards while poor students must do without.
However, all the bubbly marketing leads students to believe that funding will come easily – until reality sinks in. By this point, it's likely they've already been accepted to a department and the deadlines for most scholarships have passed. With so many 'great opportunities' for funding, the obvious assumption is that some personal deficiency led to rejection. The choice becomes excessive debt or abandoned dreams, and either way, working-class students have effectively been put in their place. It's a two-tier system, with double standards based on a student's financial resources. Of course, this is how things work in the 'real' world outside of academia, right down to the fantasy of an equal chance for everyone. Academia simply provides a convenient microcosm to examine.
The British Council also offers cheerful advice on student loans, noting the 'new development' that American students can take out Federal loans to study in the UK. Unfortunately, the maximum low-interest Stafford loan barely covers overseas tuition fees. To finance the full cost of a three-year PhD, including bare-bones living expenses, a student would have to borrow over $93,000 – a figure that would make anyone think twice.
Employment is another option, but international students are only allowed to work 20 hours per week, and well-paid jobs don't usually hire part-time employees. Besides, intention to work is not considered as a source of funds for the purposes of obtaining a student visa, so students must have considerable bank balances when they begin.
Prospects, 'the UK's Official Graduate Careers Website,' has a friendly, casual tone, and a bit more honesty in its description of the situation: 'the majority of students who come to the UK for their postgraduate education support themselves through private means.' They emphatically state that 'universities really do want you to enroll on their courses' – but the reality of funding suggests that universities only want wealthy students. Between the sugar-coated truths of Prospects and the encouraging lies of the British Council, the overwhelming message is that working-class students need not apply.
Most other student advice websites link to the British Council and Prospects sites to deal with the dirty work of talking finances – which means two websites hold an enormous amount of power over student opinion. The elements found on these sites are indicative of educational funding on an international scale. Postgraduate education is promoted as a tool for social mobility and professional development, accessible to anyone – but in reality, it's accessible to those who can pay, and those who are willing to take on enormous debts.
Meanwhile, the UK is doing itself a disservice in excluding highly-qualified, motivated, passionate students who happen to be from the wrong social class. American students have much greater access to funds back home, but are choosing to pursue the more expensive option of study in the UK. Rich students who can afford to pay should do so, rather than being given awards they don't need. Instead, those funds should be made available to poorer students who would otherwise be forced into excessive debt – after all, graduates beholden to American banks cannot contribute 100% of their talents to British society.
One simple change in application procedures – a question about personal or family income – would have enormous and wide-ranging effects on the number of international students who could study in the UK. Rich students would pay – bringing in more revenue to universities – and working-class students would benefit from grants, freeing them to focus on their research rather than working outside jobs or falling into debt. In this system, the quantity and quality of research carried out by international students would increase, raising the reputation of British research even higher. With all the other changes taking place in the British education system, isn't this a change worthy of consideration?


Presence of Rohingyas near on the India-Bangladesh boundary in the Tripura sector are known to the government, a Ministry of External Affairs officer said today in New Delhi.
He also said that the Indian government is aware of the presence of 31 persons originally from Rakhine State in Myanmar, currently at the Zero Line on the India-Bangladesh border.
These Rohingyas are being provided with humanitarian assistance as well.
The officer said that the documentation and the claims of stranded Rohingyas are being examined while necessary shelter, food and material are being provided to them by forces guarding the Indian border.
He acknowledged the media reports claiming the presence of Rohingyas stating that the government is aware of media reports of alleged movement into Bangladesh by some such persons.
But he said that the government is not a party to such movements.
India is at the forefront of providing assistance to the displaced people.
In order to meet the pressing relief needs of the Rohingyas, and Myanmarese Hindus and Buddhists, the Government of India had supplied essential requirements to about 300,000 persons in Bangladesh and about 15,000 persons in Myanmar in October and November 2017 respectively.

First published in 1972 under the title TOTAL WAR, THE PENGUIN HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR was designed by its authors to show a rising generation why the Second World War happened and how it was conducted. In this bold feat of compression they give as much stress and space to political, social and moral forces (not to mention intelligence and other activities 'behind the line') as to the ensuing clashes of arms. This acclaimed analysis of the causes and courses of the Second World War has stood the tests of time and criticism.
