Cherokee County, Alabama population is 25,989. Its county seat is Centre, Alabama.
The county is named for the Cherokee Indian tribe.The area included in today's Cherokee County for centuries had belonged to the Cherokee Nation of Native Americans.

Cherokee County is home to Weiss Lake and Little River Canyon.
The area included in today's Cherokee County for centuries had belonged to the Cherokee Nation of Native Americans. On December 29, 1835, however, Cherokee leaders signed the controversial Treaty of New Echota, agreeing to surrender their lands in return for new lands west of the Mississippi River. This treaty contributed to the apparent theft of land from the Native Americans by the U.S. government. To this day, there are few Native Americans in Cherokee County.
Centre, Alabama is the county seat of Cherokee County.
Known as The Crappie Capital of the World, Weiss Lake hosts many local, state, and national fishing tournaments. Waters flowing from the Coosa, Little and Chattooga Rivers converge to form one of the largest freshwater lakes east of the Mississippi River and, consequently, is the central attraction for Cedar Bluff tourists, vacationers, and retirees alike.
The brilliant sunset colors dance above the calm waters of Weiss Lake, upon the banks of which rests the town of Cedar Bluff. Constructed in the early 1960's to serve as a reservoir for hydro-electric power generation, the lake occupies over 30,200 acres and has nearly 450 miles of shoreline. It is surrounded by forest-covered mountains, an array of beaches, and natural scenic views. Many enjoy touring the area by boat, while others appreciate the ideal sporting and fishing conditions.
Founded in the mid 1800's by Alfred Collins and surrounded by the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of northeast Alabama, Collinsville is a great place to call home. With a current population of 1995,Collinsville has excellent schools and churches, a wonderful old southern culture, property available for new business and industry, and a Municipal Government that is committed to improving an already great town.
Your visit to Collinsville will almost certainly include a drive down shady streets lined with great old homes, a taste of southern 'home cooking' at one of the unique restaurants, and a friendliness seldom experienced this day and time.
Or, maybe a visit to one of the south's oldest and largest flea markets will be the highlight of your stay – Collinsville Trade Day is held every Saturday, rain or shine, and is located at the south end of town on U.S. Highway 11. Whether you come to town for a day or for a lifetime, you'll be welcome in Collinsville.
The area was settled in the early 1830s, just before the removal of the Cherokee Indians. It was known originally as Sulphur Springs and was an agricultural center for cotton, corn, and hay. Nearby deposits of iron ore were mined and used to produce iron at the Cornwall blast furnace, located between Gaylesville and Cedar Bluff; the iron later was used by the Confederacy during the Civil War.
If you live in the Town of Leesburg, AL, you already understand all of the great things our town has to offer — from lakeside living and breathtaking mountains to the benefits of small town life. If you are planning a visit to Leesburg, you can experience all of these things too. What better outdoor vacation could you plan than relaxing on Lake Weiss, catching our world-famous crappie? Or you could be enjoying spectacular views at the Little River Canyon National Preserve, Cherokee Rock Village, or Yellow Creek Falls. Live here or just visit — we hope you enjoy every moment.
Sand Rock is located in western Cherokee County atop Lookout Mountain. A portion of the town extends north into DeKalb County. We are pleased to welcome you to the mountaintop town of Sand Rock, Alabama, situated in the Northwestern part of Cherokee County. Sand Rock has that "hometown America" atmosphere with all the character and friendliness you'd expect from a close-knit hospitable community.
The Sand Rock community has a rich history dating back to the early 1800s. It is a small town of about 500 residents located in northeast Alabama. Rich in hospitality, natural beauty, and strong family and faith traditions, Sand Rock values its rich rural heritage, strong school and community support, and strong work ethic.
This site has been studied for years by the history and archaeology departments of the University of Alabama. The site lies just southwest of Broomtown in the community of "Possum Hollow" and just NE of Gaylesville, Alabama. The site is rich in Indian history. There was once a village along the creek in this area. Thousands of arrowpoints, spear points, pottery shards, beads, and even the dwelling remains have been studied.

MC Bushkin drops the bomb that the Heartless Crew are getting back together for a special reunion tour across the UK.
The Heartless Crew were a legendary collective of MC's and DJ's made up primarily of MC's Bushkin and Mighty Moe and DJ Fonti, as well as noteworthy peripheral members, who rose to the very top of the UK Garage music scene in the 1990's and 2000's.
Bushkin explains why he dropped the bombshell on his Instagram page a couple days before this interview took place that a Heartless Crew reunion tour was going to take place. He says that it was like being a football manager, trying to get all the pieces in place.
A trip to Jamaica made Bushkin think family comes first and now was the time. Too many people have been asking him about it over the years so he knew the demand would be very high.
Fonti, Mighty Moe and Buskhin together on stage for the first time in years will be legendary. Start getting hyped NOW.

Honduras: MACCIH Still Trying
By Aída Romero Jiménez
Luiz Antonio Marrey, Special Representative of the Secretary General, Spokesperson of the MACCIH / Flickr / Creative Commons
MACCIH, the OAS-sponsored mission to support the fight against corruption and impunity in Honduras, continues to investigate cases but with a lower profile than one year ago– and under growing political pressure.
Without MACCIH, most observers believe, cases like La Caja Chica de la Dama – for which ex‑First Lady Lobo is awaiting trial in prison – would not have developed. MACCIH is also credited with shutting down the Red de Diputados, a network of Congressmen accused of misappropriating government funds; the Pacto de Impunidad o Fe de Erratas, legislation that effectively shielded Congressmen involved in the Red; the Pandora case, which accused 38 lawmakers of stealing funds from the Ministry of Agriculture; and serious charges against former President Lobo's brother.
Although MACCIH provides important leads and analytical capacity to UFECIC, the special prosecutor unit created to investigate corruption cases, its most valuable support comes from the political cover it provides as an internationally sponsored entity. It is often the public face of anti-corruption efforts in the country, even though Luiz Antônio Guimarães Marrey, the spokesman since last June, and his deputy have significantly scaled back their use of social media since the previous spokesman, Juan Jiménez Mayor, irritated the government with his public profile.
MACCIH's successes have provoked resistance and, at times, a strong backlash from powerful sectors that feel threatened by its work, not unlike what has occurred with the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). When Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales banned the head of CICIG, Iván Velásquez, from returning to the country, several Honduran Congressmen were quick to state that the MACCIH mandate similarly had to be revised, and that its involvement in investigations had to be reigned in to ensure it was not overstepping its limits. Echoing CICIG's critics in Guatemala, they also alleged that MACCIH was violating the country's sovereignty.
The Honduran Constitutional Court was already gunning for MACCIH when it ruled in May that UFECIC was unconstitutional. (UFECIC has continued its investigations without further interference, but local observers believe this could change at any moment.) Congress has also redoubled efforts to reform Article 115 of the General Law of Public Administration to effectively shield itself from Public Ministry investigations into their handling of public funds. Legislators want to transfer authority for such inquiries solely to the Supreme Auditing Tribunal, which civil society actors claim is sympathetic to the Congressional leadership.
The lack of judicial independence has remained a serious obstacle. In a high percentage of cases that go to trial, the charges have been reversed or downgraded, signaling just how fragile and corrupt the Honduran justice system is.
MACCIH's progress in fulfilling its mission makes it vulnerable to attack and, possibly, non-renewal when its mandate expires in January 2020. MACCIH spokesman Guimarães Marrey said in December that 11 new cases will soon be announced. Many Hondurans hope that President Juan Orlando Hernández will be among the targets, on the assumption that he was aware of or involved in drug trafficking operations for which his brother, Tony, is under arrest in the United States. Whether that happens or not, pressure on MACCIH is unlikely to abate. Guimarães Marrey earlier this month re-released a draft "Effective Collaboration Law" – MACCIH's main legislative priority – allowing plea-bargaining in return for accurate information leading to prosecutions. Legislative opposition to the proposed legislation is strong, and its prospects – like MACCIH's – remain uncertain.

Hi Aida, thanks for the great article! It gives a clear picture of Honduran politics and the value of the MACCIH. For as long as I can remember, politicians have promised to reduce poverty, and corruption to win elections. However, they are somehow never held accountable for their actions. I agree with you and think that the MACCIH is highly valuable because it changes these dynamics.
The MACCIH provides two things that the country desperately needs: more transparency and more accountability. It brings to light the government's mismanagement and corruption. Also, it exerts pressure to make whoever breaks the law face the consequences of their actions.
Interesting, the people that are fighting to shut down the MACCIH are the same people that for years benefitted from the inefficient system. If we are not engaged and supportive of the MACCIH, these people will prevail.
Congrats again on your article!!

Dear Dario, Thank you for your comment. Indeed, the indignant calls from some politicians and businessmen, claiming that MACCIH is interfering with the country's sovereignty, are a blatant attempt at maintaining the status quo which only benefits the elites. We must all push for MACCIH to continue and be strengthened, and support the efforts of other organizations, like the CNA. En el arca abierta, hasta el justo peca.
Un abrazo, Aída

Toxins are scary because we don't really know where they're coming from, whether we're absorbing them, or how they're affecting us. Where you eat, drink, breathe, and sleep can have huge affects on your longterm health, yet it's difficult to know what environmental factors we need to worry most about. This gets even scarier when we consider that mothers can pass toxins on to their babies through breast milk. It's hard to know how big of a deal this is, and there's a good chance that the folks at the Center for Environmental Health and the MOMS Project are making too much of the issue, but we won't know until they look into it deeper. There's a lot of science that is yet to be done to determine what environmental factors are having the greatest negative effects on our longterm health. The Center for Environmental Health is constantly pushing their programs so that Moms and everyone else can make the right decisions for avoiding chemical threats. If you want to be a part of the Center for Environmental Health, then you should check out their Jobs page. Right now they're looking for a Temporary Research Assistant. The listing does say that the application deadline has passed, but it's still posted so I think it's still worth applying. There's also a Research Internship in New York posted on the CEH page, and on the Making Our Milk Safe page on Idealist. Check those out too.


Tramadol belongs to a group of medications called opioid analgesics. It is used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain for people who need several days or more of pain control. It decreases pain by acting on the central nervous system.
Each white, bevelled-edge, round, biconvex tablet, plain on one side and printed "LP 100" in black ink on the other, contains 100 mg of tramadol hydrochloride. Nonmedicinal ingredients: ammonium hydroxide, colloidal silicon dioxide, Contramid (modified starch), hydrogenated vegetable oil, iron oxide black, isopropyl alcohol, magnesium stearate, n-butyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, povidone, propylene glycol, shellac glaze, sodium lauryl sulfate, and xanthan gum.

Asthma and other respiratory conditions: Tramadol extended release may cause increased breathing difficulty for people having an acute asthma attack or for those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic bronchitis, emphysema) or other conditions that affect breathing. If you have asthma or other breathing disorders, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Breathing: Tramadol extended release can suppress breathing. People at risk for breathing suppression (e.g., people with head trauma) should be closely monitored by their doctor while taking this medication.
Dependence and withdrawal: This medication may become habit-forming if taken for long periods of time. Drug abuse is not a problem for people who require this medication for pain relief. If this medication is stopped suddenly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, sweating, trouble sleeping, shaking, pain, nausea, tremors, diarrhea, and hallucinations. Reducing the dose gradually under medical supervision can help prevent or decrease these withdrawal symptoms when this medication is no longer required for pain control.
Diabetes: Tramadol may cause a decrease in blood sugar levels (may cause a loss of blood glucose control) and glucose tolerance may change. People with diabetes may find it necessary to monitor their blood sugar more frequently while using this medication.
Head injury: People with head injuries or increased pressure in the head may have a higher risk of experiencing side effects (breathing problems or seizures) or worsening of their condition while taking this medication. These people should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Kidney function: The kidneys are partially responsible for removing tramadol from the body. Kidney disease or reduced kidney function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have kidney disease or reduced kidney function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. People with severely decreased kidney function should not use tramadol.
Liver function: The liver is partially responsible for removing tramadol from the body. Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver disease or reduced liver function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. People with severely decreased liver function should not use tramadol.
The risk of seizures is also higher for people with epilepsy, a history of seizures, or who are at risk of seizures (e.g., people with head trauma). If you have a history of epilepsy or medical conditions that increase the risk of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Serotonin syndrome: Severe reactions are possible when tramadol is combined with other medications that affect serotonin, such as anti-depressants and "triptan" migraine medications. The combination of tramadol and MAO inhibitors must be avoided. Symptoms of a reaction may include muscle rigidity and spasms, difficulty moving, and changes in mental state including delirium and agitation. Coma and death are also possible.
Pregnancy: The safety for both the mother and baby if this medication is used during pregnancy has not been determined. This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking tramadol extended-release, it may affect your baby. You should avoid taking tramadol if you are breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children. This medication should not be used in people under 18 years of age.

Abstract: Objective To understand the current status of follow up of people living with HIV/AIDS by health service at grass root in rural area of Jiangxi province and related factors, and provide references for the promotion of the follow up by grass root health service. Methods People living HIV/AIDS aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed before 31 December 2017 in 6 townships of Xinjian, Yushan counties and Guixi city were included in the study in Jiangxi province. They had been followed up for more than one time after the first epidemiologic survey. The information about their demographic characteristics and HIV infection status were collected by using self-designed questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors that influencing the acceptance of follow up by grass root health service. Results Of the 373 surveyed HIV infected subjects aged (53.06±16.15) years, 261 were males (70.0%, 261/373). Among the surveyed subjects, the illiteracy and people who received only primary school education accounted for 54.7% (204/373). The rate of follow up of the HIV infected subjects by grass root health service was 55.8% (208/373), and those through heterosexual contact were 58.5% (190/325). The multivariate regression analysis showed that the acceptance of follow up by grass root health service was higher in those who were farmers (OR=7.36, 95% CI:2.52-21.45), had family support (OR=16.01, 95% CI:2.25-49.73), didn't worry about discrimination (OR=12.97, 95% CI:4.75-35.42), trusted health care provider (OR=5.07, 95% CI:2.19-11.76) and showed AIDS symptoms (OR=10.58, 95% CI:2.25-49.73). Conclusions The performance of follow up of people living with HIV/AIDS by grass root health service was well, suggesting it is a feasible management model. Being famer or not, family member supporting or not, worry about discrimination or not, trusting health care provider or not and showing AIDS symptoms or not were the main factors influencing the acceptance of follow up by grass root health service.

Put your running shoes on and have some fun on the road!!!!
After taking a 4-year break from long-distance running, I decided to hit the road again. I entered the IRENE Triple Challenge on 10th February. It kicked off with the 10km Spar Irene Lantern race in February. Truly a race that every should endeavour to do at least once in their lifetime. With only training from spinning I managed to complete the race in 51 minutes.
Charter College grade 11 art and geography students took to the streets of Maboneng and were "wowed"!
We witnessed finely detailed antiques, graceful artistry and historical magnificence juxtaposed with the grime of hijacked buildings and extreme poverty. A unique opportunity to take a photographic look back in time and witness some perspectives of the future.

Q: How might I tell if an HTML element is being rendered on the screen? I'd like an element to do a CSS3 animation once the page is scrolled down enough for it to be visible, and I'm wondering if there's any way to accomplish this. Anything involving JavaScript or CSS would work. I've done many Google searches and Stackoverflow searches and can't find exactly what I need.

A: It depends on what you want to do specifically.  I would look at these resources:
http://daneden.github.io/animate.css/
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_animations.asp
http://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/a/animation/

A: Depending on the complexity of your layout, it could be as simple as finding the scroll position, the height of the window, and where the element is on the page.
function scrollEvent() {
  var el = document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
  var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
  var posY = (window.innerHeight + body.scrollTop) - el.offsetTop;
  var onScreen = (posY > 0 && posY < window.innerHeight) ? true : false;
}

window.onscroll = scrollEvent;

Use the same technique if you're worried about horizontal positioning, as well.

A: Put your CSS3 animation style in a class, but don't assign it to your element until it has been scrolled completely into view.
Assuming your element has an id of sprite, this should get you going:
<style>
  .animate {
    //CSS3 animation style
  }
</style>

window.onscroll= function() {
  var sprite = document.getElementById('sprite');
  if(sprite.getBoundingClientRect().top>=0 && sprite.getBoundingClientRect().bottom<=window.innerHeight) {
    sprite.className= 'animate';
  }
}

Glass is a choice material in many contemporary homes because it adds a sleek element to your home, and most importantly, they're easy to clean. Here's a guide to help you clean with green all natural products to maintain your interior and exterior glass surfaces.
Exterior windows, glass tabletops, and glass railing is subject to the elements outside so naturally it's going to get dirtier and require a little more maintenance. One tip to remember is to never combine vinegar with soap. Vinegar is an acid and soap is a base, so they will deactivate each other. Make sure you don't start cleaning when the sun is directly on the window, otherwise your cleaning solution will dry up immediately.
Also consider taking off window screens in the winter so that you can clean the window easier. Taking of the screen will also lessen your heating bill as it will allow light and more warmth through your windows.
Related Post: What Kind of Glass Is Used for Shower Doors?
You start will the soap or all-purpose cleaner to remove dirt with the microfiber clothe. Then the club soda or diluted vinegar to get rid of streaks paired with the squeegee.
Interior glass doesn't get as dirty as outdoor glass, so you can skip the first step on exterior cleaning with soap or an all-purpose cleaner. You should keep the first step if you have grease on your surfaces like mirror that have fingerprints on them or glass tabletops.
Keep your glass looking as fresh as the day you got it by implementing this cleaning routine. It literally will only take 5 minutes of your time to have a transparent, sleek look.

DSS Operatives Tried To Save Deborah Samuel But Overpowered By Mob – Tambuwal
Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal has revealed that efforts were made to prevent the killing of Deborah Samuel, a Christian female student at Shehu Shagari College of Education.
Deborah Samuel Sokoto
KanyiDaily recalls that on Thursday, May 22, Deborah was beaten and burnt to death by her Muslim colleagues over alleged blasphemous remarks considered to be an insult to Prophet Mohammed.
Deborah's death has continued to generate outrage and condemnation across the country, with some Nigerians accusing security agents of abandoning the Christian student to be attacked and killed by the Muslim mob.
Speaking with reporters on Friday when he visited Delta State for his 2023 presidential campaign, Tambuwal stated that operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) got to Deborah on time but were overpowered by the Muslim mob.
The Governor said some of the DSS operatives who tried to save the Christian student are still in the hospital as a result of a broken head and hand inflicted by the mob.

He said, "Contrary possibly to what you're thinking, the security agencies, particularly the DSS, were able to get to the school on time and were actually able to get Deborah rescued from the mob initially.
"As they were mobilising forces from the military barracks, the police command, the mob was growing. As we speak, one of the DSS agents that attempted to save her life is in the hospital with a broken head and the other one had a broken hand.
"They were actually overpowered. It's not as if she was left on her own. There was rescue by the DSS and they were around where she was locked into a room because they tried to really save her, but unfortunately they were overpowered."
Governor Tambuwal also debunked reports that security operatives did not respond to the emergency situation in the institution.
Meanwhile, the suspected Killers of Deborah Samuel have pleaded not guilty to the murder charge filed against them, while being defended in court by 34 lawyers.

Over the past few weeks, I've been in debates with my colleagues on the subject and merits of detailed rules and procedures.
Many established firms such as public listed companies often document every single policy, process and procedure in manuals that rival the Encyclopeadia Brittanica in terms of comprehensiveness. This is often the standard practice in order to achieve ISO certification, and to for the firm to ensure that every single employee conduct their day to day activities in a predictable and standardised manner.
New employees need only to pick up the relevant manual and ensure that they fully understand and memorise what steps, templates, forms and people they need to work with in order to complete a certain task.
This orderly and predictable state of work activity seemed to work well with many firms for decades. And in fact, many firms institute controls and initiatives to ensure that activities adhere to the procedures manual and that variations in the processes are reduced.
This is a typical assembly-line type of work environment. Predictable work processes result in predictable outcomes (products and services) with minimum variance.
Then, the technology boom happened in the mid to late 90s. Technology firms seemed to burst out from nowhere and suddenly started to take the market by storm. Companies such as Microsoft, Netscape, Amazon and Yahoo! started to win customers over with products and services that never even existed a decade earlier. Some of these start-ups reveled in the organised chaos of youthful employees and start-up culture. Anything and everything was possible. There were no limits to what could be explored and rules were broken everywhere.
As the world fast approached the year 2000 ("Y2K"), demand for updated technology solutions escalated. In the end, Y2K was a non-event.
Soon after at the turn of the millenium, the dot com phenomena imploded.
Only a few firms emerged unscathed. But a change in the business world had already begun. All of this enabled by technology and the fast proliferation of the internet and web based applications.
Companies such as Google and Amazon continued to grow from strength to strength. Microsoft, still the top dog then, struggled to make sense of how to deal with the new competition; whilst firms like Netscape, Yahoo! and a whole host of other technology companies fade away as quickly as they burst into the limelight.
Google led the technology rush and the internet continued to premeate into every home, office, school and places for human interaction. With a simple business model and easy to use technology Google became synonymous with the web and with searching for information and knowledge. But even mighty Google was unprepared for the next wave of internet revolution in social networking.
Early web 2.0 champions such as Myspace started to capitalise on the innate human need to connect with other people. Realising that humans loved socialising and sharing their interests, the likes of Myspace and YouTube raced ahead to be the early winners of the social media space. But even they had not expected a Hardvard student would start building what today is the world's largest social network from his dorm room. Today Facebook has close to 800 million users (circa Oct 2011), and the likes of twitter garnering around 200 million users by late 2011. Together, Facebook and Twitter have been credited – rightly or wrongly – with a significant revolution in how people connect with each other and the speed of how fast news and information is distributed to a wider population. Both Facebook and Twitter have been linked to social and political revolutions in many countries.
Then the Global Financial Crisis ("GFC") happened in 2008. This plunged the world to the edge of depression. The world has yet to recover from this crisis, teetering from one economic malaise to another. All throughout this, changes have been happening: Apple suddenly introduced the iPhone. Back from the brink, Apple became the darling of the industry and the stock market. It has disrupted the phone business, and to some extent the PC business with its iPads.
Today we are on another verge of a major change in the world as we know it. Crude oil prices plummeted, technology continues its breakneck pace of development, economic power is visibly shifting towards the east, social dislocation is happening, terrorists organisations creating fear, political power shifting towards the right… many of these changes pose unpredictable outcomes. We have no way of anticipating how to set rules for things we do not know. We will be in a state of flux, and in such situations more rules just doesn't help. We need more common sense. We need to get back to our core, and universal values and work with this. Time to bring about positive change, rather than reacting to negativity.
Are exams the best way to help children develop?
This is a big question. I find that exams based assessment of a child's development results in a narrow focus and thus, inadequately prepares the child for the challenges they will face many years later in life.
Exams based assessment – whilst are objective – only emphasises (i) academic knowledge; (ii) enforces rote learning; (iii) creates behaviours of studying (self learning) only for the exams.
The above 3 emphasis are becoming increasingly inadequate these days.
For one, academic knowledge is no longer sufficient. What is important is that children start to explore learning outside of what is covered in text books. The world today is moving so quickly that knowledge nowadays is everywhere.
Secondly, rote learning does not help children develop the skills to learn on their own, or to learn through discovery and experimentation. Rote learning emphasises that the answer is pre-determined.
Thirdly, learning should be a constant habit – and not something only needed for the purpose of passing exams. This constant learning habit is highly prized when the individual progresses through life when things are constantly changing requiring a constant unlearning and relearning.
So what is the alternative to measuring a child's development?
In the first place, we need to ask why we are measuring a child's knowledge etc? The goal of measuring a child's progress is to identify areas the child is strong at and areas the child can be further developed.
Assessment of children's progress should not be seen as a means to "rate" or "grade" them. It is more important to develop children than to grade them.
Once we have properly adopted this mindset, then we can move forward with the alternative assessment. But before we go into that, we need to also understand what are the qualities on which we wish to develop our children?
Of course, the above list may not be entirely appropriate and may even miss out other qualities. But what is important, it needs to encapsulate the many qualities we seek as people as they grow older and attempt to make the world better.
The even bigger question now is how do we measure the child's progress in the above qualities.
Remember, the measures are meant to identify strengths and development areas. Not to rate or grade.
There are already many psychometric & other tools to measure these qualities. We only need to use them on a more regular basis through the child's progress through school to understand more about their development.
These tools can be utilised by both teacher and parents alike in order to gain a more balanced view of the child's development.
Since, this assessment is not for purpose of rating or grading the child – it will mitigate the effects of "gaming the system". In order to enhance the credibility of the assessment tools, we can build in self-regulating mechanisms to prevent a deliberate high or low score.
What is most important is that the child makes as much progress in their development: a high score on an assessment may mean that the child need not undergo specific tasks to develop further. A constant high score means that the child has a low record number of development / improvement exercises – which could look less impressive as compared to a child who is consistently improving.
Conversely, a deliberately low scoring may mean that the child will have to undergo a rigourous number of development / improvement exercises. Which could be both taxing on the child and the tutor.
I know this system is not perfect, but it is a starting point in building a self-regulating mechanism to prevent the child, the tutor and the parents from gaming the system.
To add further mitigation – external parties may be called into assess the child further using these tools (or a variation of the tools). The tools need not require a constant intimacy with the child, but can be assessed on the spot like many psychometric tests.
Other forms of assessment can be done in a similar manner of how role-playing games ("RPG") players acquire experience points ("XP") to upgrade their RPG characters. These can be related to the child completing certain academic and non-academic tasks. Points, badges and recognition can be given to demonstration of certain activities, behaviours etc – such as teamwork, leadership etc.
To achieve the above, technology can be used to document, record, and provide an updated scoring system as the child progresses. Now with mobile technology, these form of scoring can be done on the move and at the right moment the tasks have been completed by the child.
There will naturally be major changes to the tutors and infrastructure for this to happen. Therefore this will not happen overnight. Investment will be needed, incentives can be provided to the private sector to participate in driving the change by providing some of their resources – financial as well as human capital.
The tools are perhaps the items of least concern as many of these are already available.
Training can be quite minimal, as many of the tools come with its own diagnosis. However, should training be required – there are a large number of organisations that have employees trained in these tools. They can be roped in.
This post was not meant to be an answer, nor would it be correct. The goal is to initiate a discussion around this important topic. After all, education is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) economic multiplier.
The key thing for all of us is to start looking at our education systems and ask ourselves the question whether it is helping us develop more leaders, thinkers, doers and creators for the fast changing 21st century connected and borderless world?
Start with the qualities of people we want in our economy now and many years ahead – and then work backwards to design an education system that meets those needs.
Harrison Owen – Talk I – Leadership in a Self-Organizing World from Harold Shinsato on Vimeo.
we live in a world that is self organising. we should not delude ourselves that we can control it through commands, propaganda, rules and penalties. as dr ian malcolm in jurassic park said: "life will always find a way".
Some of the most basic things regarding change is being able to influence small groups of like minded people towards a cause. these small groups can multiply the efforts towards change provided that the tribal leader steps up to the role and drives the vision.
This video perhaps tells nothing new, but today's society and technology makes the possibility of tribal changes become a lot more effective.


In this article, I will solve the below issue in SharePoint Server / SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Designer might be disallowed to be used in this Web Application.
By default, Web design features are disabled in ONET.XML file.
Central Administration > Application Management > Manage Web Application > Select Web Application > General Settings > SharePoint Designer.
As shown below, It's already Checked.
During my investigating, I have decided to try to open another site with a different template like Team Site that is worked properly!
Finally, I realized that the problem is not related to SharePoint Designer settings, and the issue is related to Project Site Template that by default disable the web design features in ONET.XML file.
Note: 15 hive depend on the SharePoint Version (15 for SP 2013, 14 for SharePoint 2010, 12 for SharePoint 2007).
Open (PWA) > XML Folder.
Right click on ONET.xml file to edit it with an appropriate program (I used Notepad).
Press Ctrl + F on the keyboard to search for DisableWebDesignFeatures="wdfopensite" that should be placed in Project Tag.
Remove this Property DisableWebDesignFeatures="wdfopensite" from Project tag.
Reset IIS (Run > CMD > IISRESET /force).
Restart SharePoint Designer, it should now be worked properly.
The current site is Moderns Site.
The current site is Classic site but the Custom scripting is not enabled.
In case the current site is Modern experience Site.
By design, the Modern experience Sites are not supported to be edited by SharePoint Designer.
Allow Add and Customize Pages using PowerShell.
Enable SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Admin Center > Settings > Custom Script.
Allow users to run a custom script on personal sites.
Note: Changes to the above settings might take up 24 hours to take effect!
Site Settings> below Site collection Administration > Click on SharePoint Designer Settings.
how to fix this in OFFICE 365, project online? We dont have server access there.
That method is not allowed by Microsoft it's considered as workaround where Microsoft not support any customization to PWA so Unfortunately no workaround on Office 365.
Could you support me with Team viewer session to can help you ?
Fantastic fix. Worked like a charm!
Thanks for the guide! Really helped us out.

NBA Picks - Hawks vs Trail Blazers Prediction, 1/30/2023 Best Bets, Odds & Betting Tips
This Week in Betting, A to Z
by Trevor Whenham - 07/13/2009
A - Amy Mickelson. If any of you have had your lives touched by cancer like I have then you can feel for this story. Phil Mickelson has taken an indefinite leave from the PGA Tour because his wife, Amy, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The golf community has been predictably supportive already, and will continue to be. All we can hope is that Phil is back soon, because tournaments are almost always more interesting when he is in them.
B - Big Papi. David Ortiz must feel like an enormous weight has been lifted from his shoulders. Big Papi responded to being benched by finally hitting a home run. It was his first in 149 at-bats - not exactly the pace you expect from a slugger like him. It hasn't exactly unleashed a hitting frenzy, but at least the home run eliminates one question that the slugger will be asked as everyone tries to figure out what has happened to all of his power.
C - Chris Carpenter. The Cardinals have been without their potential ace in a meaningful way for more than two seasons, so they must be cautiously optimistic about having him back. After an injury sidelined him for a month after just two starts this year, Carpenter returned with a start on Wednesday. The outing went well - he allowed just three hits in five scoreless innings. It's either the first step on the road back, or a tease before the next injury.
D - Dontrelle Willis. Willis has the potential to be an extremely good pitcher. For the first time in a Tigers' uniform he showed it this week. Coming back from dealing with an anxiety disorder, Willis earned his first win in his two seasons in Detroit by allowing just one hit and no runs in six and a third innings. His next outing on Sunday wasn't quite as dominant, but it still gave all sorts of reasons to be optimistic - he allowed three runs in six and two-thirds innings.
E - Eight. NHL coach Mike Keenan is obviously very good at job interviews. It's actually doing the job where he has the problem. Keenan was fired as coach of the Calgary Flames this week after two seasons. It was the eighth time an NHL team has fired him. You might think that his two-year stint in Calgary was short, but actually that's as long or longer than he has lasted in four gigs. The guy has become a bit of a joke, but you have to imagine that he'll find someone else stupid enough to hire him. And fire him.
F - Formula 1. I have never seen a sport be so popular while at the same time being so ridiculously uncompetitive. Each year one driver seems to be clearly faster than everyone else, and he makes a mockery of the sport. This year that driver is Jenson Button. He won his fifth race of the year this weekend at Monaco. There have only been six races. To make it worse, four of those five wins have been wire-to-wire. Why even bother having the races anymore?
G - Giambi, Jason. Giambi joined a select group of just 44 players this week when he hit the 400th home run of his career against the Diamondbacks. The mark is impressive, but would be so much more impressive if we didn't know that a large number of those round-trippers were juice-aided. The home run didn't help his team much - they lost the game just like they have lost so many of their games all year.
H - Hit for the cycle. Minnesota's Michael Cuddyer had a big day on Friday - he hit for the cycle in just four plate appearances. He became the 10th Twin to hit for the cycle, including two this year - Cuddyer and Jason Kubel. Only one other team in the last decade has had two cycles in the same year, and the Twins still have 114 more games to try and add to that impressive total. Cuddyer's effort led to five RBI and an easy 11-3 win.
I - Indy 500. Hopefully Helio Castroneves remembers to pay taxes on his prize money. The tax cheat bounced back from his legal problems to win his third Indy 500, and his first in seven years. It was a virtually perfect run, and he managed to avoid the crashes that knocked out so many other top contenders. He won decisively, with Dan Wheldon and Danica Patrick chasing him but never really challenging him in the final laps. The question now is which win means more to the driver - this Indy 500, or "Dancing With The Stars"?
J - Jake Peavy. This is why teams don't like to give no-trade clauses to their players. The Padres, having given up on the season and looking to build for the future, dealt their ace to the White Sox. Or so they thought. Peavy vetoed the trade - he doesn't like the America League, and the White Sox aren't any better than the Padres this year. San Diego had secured a nice price for Peavy. Now they have to try again, only this time the market for Peavy has been depressed by the smaller number of potential trading partners.
K - K-Rod. At the core of the Mets' plan to end their late-season struggles of the least two years was a major investment in the bullpen. So far it has worked reasonably well, so team management must have been seriously concerned when their new, expensive closer, Francisco Rodriguez, wound up in the hospital on Saturday with serious back spasms. He was released after treatment and seems to be okay, but this is a story that we probably haven't heard the last of.
L - L.A. Dodgers. You might think that a team would struggle after losing the best hitter in the league in a very high-profile manner. Not so much. After losing three of their first four without Manny Ramirez the Dodgers have been one of the hottest teams in the league. They've now opened up such a big gap in their weak division that they probably don't really care if Manny ever comes back. It's almost as if the team's bitterness and frustration is fueling it.
M - Matsuzaka, Daisuke. Dice-K came off the DL to pitch for the first time in more than a month on Friday and, well, he looked like a guy who hadn't pitched in more than a month. He allowed five hits in five innings and four earned runs to drop to 0-2 on the season. If you need a bright side, it's that he dropped his ERA to 10.32 on the season. The Sox lost to John Santana and the Mets. It seems quite odd that the team would choose to bring Dice-K back against Santana - a guy who is hard enough to beat when your pitcher is at his very best.
N - Nikolai Khabibulin. The Chicago Blackhawks were in tough against the older, deeper and more experienced Detroit Red Wings anyway, so it certainly didn't help that they lost their starting goaltender in Game 3. The Bulin Wall left after the second period of the game. Chicago pulled out a win in overtime with Cristobal Huet in the nets, but the backup showed real signs of rust in Game 4, allowing two soft goals in the first period to set a bad tone for his team that continued through the game.
O - Orlando. You certainly can't complain that the NBA Playoffs have been boring this year. Take the Magic-Cavs series, for example. Orlando shocked Cleveland and handed them their first loss of the playoffs despite 49 points from LeBron James. Rashad Lewis was the hero, sinking a three pointer with seconds left to secure the one-point win. The second game was no less thrilling - Cleveland blew a 23-point lead before LeBron won it with a buzzer-beating three. They won Game 3 pretty easily but it's not crazy to expect there will be some more buzzer-beaters in this series.
P - Penguins. It took awhile for Pittsburgh to find their stride in these playoffs, but there is now little doubt that they mean business. Through three games of their conference championship against the Carolina Hurricanes they have looked almost unbeatable, and it isn't hard to imagine them hoisting the cup in a few weeks. Teams succeed when their best players play well, and Pittsburgh is lucky enough to have two of the best players on the planet. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have both been scary good against Carolina.
Q - Quit. If I was Blake Griffin I would quit basketball. He's a virtual lock to be the top pick overall in the NBA Draft, and the Clippers won the lottery this week to earn that first pick. Absolutely nothing good can come from playing for the Clippers, and being drafted first overall by them isn't exactly a boost to a career overall. Griffin would be better off just sitting in a rocking chair for the rest of his days talking about his college glory days.
R - Rays. This is another example of why we should never trust anything we hear from a team. Scott Kazmir has struggled badly this season, and his velocity is off from last year. Both he and the team had insisted many times that nothing was wrong, though - that this was something he just had to work through. Seems unlikely - especially since the Rays put Kazmir on the DL this week. That normally doesn't happen to healthy guys. The Rays also put Troy Percival on the DL - a move that could likely end the career of the great closer.
S - Santana, Johan. Santana did his job again on Friday against Boston, moving to 6-2 on the year with a 1.50 ERA to decisively show that he is the best pitcher in the NL right now. He'd be even better, too, if the Mets could manage to take care of their jobs defensively when he is on the mound. New York had three errors on Friday when Santana was pitching, and have now had 12 this season when Santana plays. That has led to a ridiculous stat - Santana has allowed 17 runs, but only 10 have been earned. It's like the team relaxes just a bit too much when their ace is in action.
T - Twins. It's not too often that a team that is below .500 playing in a weak division gets mentioned twice in this column, but the Twins had a particularly noteworthy week. They had a ridiculously easy game on Thursday, beating the White Sox 20-1. It was 8-0 in the second inning, and 20-0 before the White Sox finally managed to score a run. Every Minnesota starter had at least a hit, and Joe Mauer led the way with six RBI.
U - UFC 98. It wasn't the most exciting card UFC has ever put together, but it had some good elements - a couple of big upsets and a new titleholder. Rashad Evans lost his first career fight and his Light Heavyweight title in a decisive setback to the undefeated Lyoto Machida. The Brazilian won the first round handily, and then thoroughly dominated Evans in the second round before putting him to sleep with a deadly shot to the chin.
V - Vick, Michael. The road back to the NFL for the poster child for how not to handle fame is shorter now than it has been for a long time. Vick was released from Leavenworth this week and returned home to Virginia to finish out his sentence. He has two months of home confinement to finish a 23-month sentence. What happens after that is anyone's guess, though one this is for sure - there are lots of teams that would be interested in him if he were allowed to play this year.
W - Wall, John. Think Kentucky is happy about the decision to hire John Calipari? Calipari continued to build a team that could easily contend for a national championship in his first season by securing a commitment from John Wall. Wall is the top point guard in his class, and a guy that was practically born to play in Calipari's dribble-drive offense. Wall draws favorable comparisons to Derrick Rose - similar skills, better athleticism.
X - eXplosive. This is perhaps the most unlikely story of the young baseball season - the San Diego Padres are currently the hottest team in baseball. They have little talent on their roster, and they are trying to get rid of the best of what they do have, yet they have somehow managed to win nine straight games. They looked like they were living up to their potential when they were nine games below .500, so the fact that they are at .500 now seems almost impossible.
Y - Yankees. Stop me if you have heard this story before - after starting the season so slowly that it was tempting to think that they were mortal, the Yankees rode a red-hot streak back into the heart of contention. That's exactly what happened last year, and it's what they are doing again. They won nine in a row before losing to Philadelphia, and are now in a tight three-way battle for the top spot. A-Rod hasn't been playing great since his return, but you can't help but notice that the team's resurgence corresponds with his return.
Z - Zenyatta. Rachel Alexandra is getting all of the attention and accolades these days, but it was shown clearly that she's not even the best filly in training right now, never mind the best ever. The incredible Zenyatta made her season debut this weekend. She borrowed a page from Mine That Bird's playbook, running more than half the races way behind the field before unleashing an explosive move and cruising to a win. She's now undefeated in 10 career races. It seems inevitable that she will meet Rachel Alexandra on the track at some point, and that's really going to be something to see.

CONVERSABLE ECONOMIST: Eliminating the Statistical Abstract?
I just clicked over to look up some numbers in the U.S. Statistical Abstract, which has been one of my standard starting points for fact-finding and fact-checking since I started needing to care about actual data as part of my high school debate team back in the 1970s. As it says at the website: "The Statistical Abstract of the United States, published since 1878, is the authoritative and comprehensive summary of statistics on the social, political, and economic organization of the United States. Use the Abstract as a convenient volume for statistical reference, and as a guide to sources of more information both in print and on the Web."
It also says that the U.S. Census Bureau has decided to save $3 million per year by eliminating the Stat Abstract.
The invaluable Robert Samuelson at the Washington Post has been on top of this story, which I had utterly missed. He lamented the likely loss of the Stat Abstract in an August 21 column, and followed up with a sad blog post on October 4. He writes: "I've been covering government for more than four decades, and this is one of the worst decisions I've seen." For those of us who spend large chunks of our time trying to track down actual facts, the end of a long-standing reference work is a genuinely grim day.
I found myself hoping that this this is just the Census Bureau's version of the infamous "Washington Monument strategy." Back in 1969, a director of the National Park Service named George Hartzog responded to proposed budget cuts for his agency by closing all the national parks for two days a week--including the Washington Monument. (A short biography of Hartzog is here.) Public outrage over these highly visible changes led Congress to restore the funding. Ever since then, when a government agency responds to a tightened budget by cutting its most publicly visible functions, it's been called a "Washington Monument" strategy.
But the Washington Monument strategy only works if the public cares, and when it comes to the Statistical Abstract, even I am not delusional enough to believe that it does.
What makes the elimination of the Stat Abstract even more annoying is that by government standards, it's dirt-cheap. Federal spending for 2012 is projected to be about $3.7 trillion. If I haven't slipped a decimal point in my calculations, this rate of spending works out to about $7 million per minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. At $3 million, the Stat Abstract provides one-stop access to a vast range of statistics and sources, at a cost of less than a half-minute per year of federal spending. When you look at government websites, you see a vast array of cheery stories about how the government is there to help you, with photos of smiling people and shiny equipment. Government always seems to have money for public relations and self-promotion. But apparently not for offering the public a genuinely useful, if admittedly dry, collection of actual nonpartisan data in a volume with a history of more than 130 years.
of governments, businesses, and the general public to make appropriate decisions about budgets, employment, investments, taxes, and a host of other important matters depends critically on the ready availability of relevant, accurate, and timely Federal statistics."
Here's a table showing the main federal statistical agencies and their level of spending, in millions of dollars. The U.S. Census Bureau spent a lot in 2010, because of the Census, but is back to more normal levels by now.
Can't a few Senators and Congressmen take time out from earmarking pork barrel projects for their home districts and raising campaign contributions, and resurrect the Statistical Abstract? It's a bad civics lesson to have this volume disappear.

The 3 determinants of reputational risk for banks
The financial services sector is experiencing a period of intense disruption and evolution. As it grapples with challenges ranging from automation across its value chain to the development of fintech and a pronounced shift in the ways in which consumers expect to access services. While dealing with these medium- and longer-term issues is clearly key to a bank's sustained, future success, the retail banking sector, in particular, must not allow the focus to slip from more day-to-day reputational challenges. What are reputational risk for banks?
Reputational risks for retail banks are:
In this piece, we take a look at three of these determinants of reputational risk for retail banks.
1) Executive conduct
For individual financial institutions, one of the most powerful reputational risk issues is a disgraced senior executive. The image of the friendly bank manager, who knows your face, your middle name, your dog's birthday, and who helped you to get your first mortgage, jars with that of the CEO caught fiddling the books or demonstrating a lack of moral fibre.
The 2013 scandal surrounding Co-op Bank chairman Paul Flowers, following his use of illegal drugs and male escort agencies, had a severe impact on the bank's reputation at the time – overshadowing even its weak financial results – as well as causing repeat damage years later, when the story was dredged up in 2017 as the Co-op was looking for a buyer. Analysis of Co-op monthly sentiment scores at these key times by alva shows just how central executive behavior is in reputation management.
2) Cybersecurity
You wouldn't expect anyone to trust a bank with their hard-earned money if it can't handle its own finances, so a financial institution's bottom line is also the foundation of its reputation. Likewise, people expect a bank to keep their money safe, so data breaches and phishing attacks are particularly harmful. While cybersecurity is key for any organization, the communication channels between banks and their customers are particularly tempting targets for scammers. And no wonder, as according to trade body UK Finance, British banking customers were defrauded of £1.2bn in 2018.
Firewalls and increased cybersecurity might protect their data, but customers can't see them at work. The most effective approach from a reputational point of view is being open about the risks and educating customers on how to protect themselves. Barclays has had success with its, frankly chilling, TV campaign highlighting how easy it is to be fooled and into giving up account access details.
3) Banking sector reputation
As well as individual threats, the sector as a whole is vulnerable to reputation contagion. Peter Mitic, head of operational risk methodology UK at Santander, and an honorary professor at University College London coined the phrase 'network drag' for the knock-on effect of a drop in one organization's public rating due to negative events on the rest of the sector.
In a study of 10 top UK banks, using alva's daily company reputation ratings, he found that some banks saw a decline of almost 24% in their corporate reputation score, entirely due to something that happened to one of their rivals.
Mitic did find, however, that banks with a very good reputation could mitigate the effects of those with a poor public persona – with a reputational boost of over 40% in some cases thanks to positive work by their peers. So as long as there are some good apples, the whole barrel needn't go bad.
