From the Museum of Broadcast Communications Encyclopedia of Television originally published 1997
"Television, very skillfully used by Dr. Martin Luther King, became an integral part of the civil rights struggle. They knew exactly how to get the camera there and then the struggle would take off." - Ossie Davis, Actor
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND TELEVISION
American television coverage of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately contributed to a redefinition of the country's political as well as its televisual landscape. From the 1955 Montgomery bus boycotts to the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, technological inno- vations in portable cameras and electronic news gathering (ENG) equipment increasingly enabled television to bring the non-violent civil disobedience campaign of the Civil Rights Movement and the violent reprisals of Southern law enforcement agents to a new mass audience.
The NAACP's 1954 landmark Supreme Court case, Brotvn v. Board ofeducation, along with the brutal murder of 15-year-old Emmet Till in Mississippi and the subse- quent acquittal of the two white men accused of his murder marked the beginning of America's modern Civil Rights Movement. The unprecedented media coverage of the Till case rendered it a cause celebre that helped to swell the membership ranks of civil rights organizations nation- wide. As civil rights workers organized mass boycotts and civil disobedience campaigns to end legal segregation and white supremacist terror in the South, white segregationists mounted a counter-offensive that was swift and too often violent. Medgar Evers and other civil rights activists were assassinated. Black churches, businesses and residences with ties to the movement were bombed. Although this escalation of terror was intended to thwart the Civil Rights Movement, it had the effect of broadening support for civil rights.
These events were unfolding at the same time that the percentage of American homes equipped with television sets jumped from 56 to 92%. This was 1955 and television was securing its place in American society. Network news shows were also beginning to expand from the conventional fifteen to thirty minutes format, splitting the time between local and national issues. From the mid to late 1950s, these social, political, technological and cultural events began to con- verge. The ascendancy of television as the new arbiter of public opinion became increasingly apparent at this time to civil rights leaders and television news directors alike. Thus television's coverage of the Civil Rights Movement changed considerably, especially as the "anti-establishment politics" of the 1960s erupted. When television covered the consumer boycotts and the school desegregation battles in the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, it was usually in a detached manner with a particular focus on the most dramatic and sensational occurrences. As well, the coverage in the late 1950s was intermittent, with a field reporter con- ducting a stand-up report from a volatile scene. Alternatively, an in-studio anchorman would narrate the unfolding events captured on film. Rarely, if ever, did black participants speak for themselves or address directly America's newly constituted mass television audience. Nevertheless, civil rights leaders understood how central television exposure was becoming to the success of the movement.
The desire to bring the struggle for civil rights into American living rooms was not limited to civil rights work- ers, however. The drama and sensationalism of peaceful civil rights protesters in violent confrontation with brutal agents of Southern segregation was not lost on news producers. News programmers needed to fill their expanded news programs with live telecasts of newsworthy events, and the public clashes around the Civil Rights Movement were too violent and too important to ignore.
For example, among the most enduring images telecast from this period were: 1955-shots of numerous boycotted busses driving down deserted Alabama streets; 1957-angry white mobs of segregationists squaring-off against black students escorted by a phalanx of Federal Troops in front of Ole Miss, the University of Mississippi; 1965-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., leads a mass of black protesters across a bridge in Selma, Alabama. Most memorable, perhaps, of all these dramatic video images is the 1963 attack on young civil rights protesters by the Birmingham, Alabama, police and their dogs, and the fire department's decision to turn on fire hydrants to disperse the young black demonstrators, most of whom were children. Television cameras captured the water's force pushing young, black protesters down flooding streets like rubbish during a street cleaning. Unquestionably, this was compelling and revolutionary television.
By the early to mid 1960s, television was covering the explosive Civil Rights Movement regularly and forcefully. It was at this time that the young, articulate and telegenic Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., had emerged from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as the Movement's chief spokesman. Commenting on King's oratorical skills, one reporter noted that his "message and eloquence were met with raptattention and enthusiastic support." He was the perfect visual symbol for a new era of American race relations. During this period television made it possible for civil rights workers to be seen and heard on an international scale.
Fanny Lou Hamer's televised speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention in Atlantic City signaled a pivotal moment in the history of television's relationship to the civil rights campaign. Hamer's now famous "Is this America?" speech infuriated President Johnson, emboldened the networks, and riveted the nation. Even though Johnson directed the networks to kill the live feed carrying her speech on voting rights on behalf of theAfrican American Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), the networks recognized the speech's powerful appeal and aired Hamer's address in its entirety later that night. Thus Hamer, a black woman and a sharecropper, became one of the first black civil rights activists to address the nation directly and on her own terms(see also Doing Justice: The Life and Trials of Albert Kinoy, the lawyer that defended the MFDP).
King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered on 28 August 1963, at the March on Washington rally. King's speech not only reached the 300,000 people from civil rights organizations, church adults from across the country into the deep South during the so-called "Freedom Summer" of 1964.
Civil rights organizers encouraged the participation of white liberals in the movement because organizers understood that the presence of whites would attract the television cameras and, by extension, the nation. No one was prepared for the tragic events that followed. As it turns out, television's incessant probing into the murders and subsequent month-long search for the bodies of two white, Northern civil rights workers, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, and black, Southerner James Chaney did have a chilling effect on the nation. With the death of innocent white volunteers, television was convincing its suburban viewers around the country that the Civil Rights Movement did concern them as well.
For it was difficult to turn on the television without news of the Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman search. From late June to 4 August 1964, television regularly and consistently transmitted news of the tragedy to the entire nation. Television ultimately legitimated and lent new urgency to the decade- long struggle for basic human and civil rights that the Civil Rights Movement had difficulty achieving prior to the television age. The incessant gaze of the television cameras on the murders and disappearance of Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman, following on the heels of the Evers and Kennedy assassinations, resulted in mobilizing national support for the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, it was television's coverage of the Civil Rights Movement's crises and catastrophes that became a prelude to the medium's subsequent involvement with and handling of the later social and political chaos surrounding the Black Power, Anti-War, Free Speech and Feminist Movements. As veteran civil rights reporters went on to cover the assassinations of Malcom X, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, as well as the ghetto uprisings thereafter, a whole new visual and aural lexicon of crisis-television developed, one that in many ways still defines how television news is communicated.
By 1968, it was clear that television's powerful and visceral images of the civil rights struggle had permeated many levels of American social and political reality. These images had helped garner support for such liberal legislation as the 1964 Voting Rights Act and President Lyndon B. Johnson's 'Great Society" and "War on Poverty" pro- grams, all of which are legatees of the Civil Rights Movement. As volatile pictures of Watts, Detroit, Washington, D.C., and other cities going up in smoke hit the television airwaves, they provoked a strong reaction by the end of the decade, marked by the presidential campaign slogans calling for law and order. Consequently, many of the very images that supported the movement simultaneously helped to fuel the national backlash against it. This anti- civil rights backlash contributed to the 1968 presidential election of conservative Republican Richard M. Nixon. While television news programs strove to cover the historic events of the day, entertainment shows responded to the Civil Rights Movement in their own fashion. With their concern over advertising revenues and corporate sponsorship, television's entertainment divisions decided on a turn to social relevance that did not tackle the controversy and social conflict of the Civil Rights Movement directly. Instead, it took the cautious route of slowly integrating (in racial terms) fictional programming by casting black characters in roles other than the usual domestic and comedic stereotypes. Beloved characterizations of domesticated blacks in such popular television shows as Beulah, Amos 'n' Andy, The Jack Benny Show, and The Danny Thomas Show, for example, slowly gave way to integrated cast programs depicting the network's accommodationist position on the "new frontier" ideology of Kennedy liberalism wherein black characters were integrated into American society as long as they supported American law and order. Among these shows were East Side/West Side (I 963-64), The Defenders (I 96 1 - 65), Naked City (1958-63), The Nurses (1962-65), 1 Spy (1965-68), Peyton Place (1964-69), Star Trek (1966-69), Mission: Impossible- (I 966-73), Daktai (I 966-69), NYPD (I 967-69) and Mod Squad (I 968-73), to name but a few. Rather than reflect the intense racial conflicts of bombed-out churches, blacks being beaten by Southern cops and massive demonstrations, these dramatic programs portrayed interracial cooperation and peaceful coexistence between black and white characters. For the first time on network television, many of the black characters in these shows were depicted as intelligent and heroic. While some of these shows were criticized for their tone black characters who staunchly up- held the status quo, these shows, nevertheless, did mark a significant transformation of the televisual universe. And for mass audiences accustomed to traditional white and black shows, the Civil Rights Movement brought a little more color to the television spectrum.

New Insights Collective series to examine dynamics impacting resort communities
The Aspen Times, in collaboration with the nonprofit Insights Collective, is introducing in the coming weeks a series looking at the dynamic forces at play disrupting resort communities now and for the foreseeable future.
The nine-part series will address the impact of those forces on mountain tourism-based economies and related considerations, including public-sector policy, private-sector operations, and the full- and part-time residents and consumers who drive the local economic engine.
Scheduled to launch Jan. 27 in print and online, the series is being researched and written by members of the Insights Collective, a think tank of destination travel veterans. Their mission is to provide strategic thought, planning and guidance toward bettering destination travel economies focused on resort towns, said Collective founder Ralf Garrison.
The Collective uses data analysis, think tank decision-making, and scenario planning to 1) gather such facts and evidence as is available, 2) aggregate emerging best practices from others, and 3) provide insights and food for thought to resort-community leadership and inform the constituents who they represent.
"This series, our third since the pandemic began, is being launched at the onset of the third year of this global pandemic, amid the ongoing consequences of viral mutations, new record cases, and hospitalizations. The focus is on both the continuing and emerging reality of disruptors to short and long-term stability and sustainability in mountain destinations," Collective president Tom Foley said. "Further complicating this understanding are the broader economic and social forces that are driving record visitation and immigration at a time when resort capacities, staffing and housing are both under pressure."
Insights Collective's objective is to provide a fact-based, apolitical perspective and share insights and case studies from others, Garrison said. The series aims to help make sense of the situation and offer a credible voice to residents and private-public sector representatives as they plan and navigate their way through a third year of unprecedented disruption, and to cope with the political and social ramifications upon which the future is dependent, he said.
For more information on the not-for-profit group, go to TheInsightsCollective.com or email them at info@theinsightscollective.com.

I know tool grinding is one of those 5 minute jobs, to get another job done, but it would be greatly appreciated if the experienced guys could take a photo or two of their set ups and post them here.
I got a Clarkson MK1 T&C Grinder last week, and just got the 3PH power where it stands, so after grinding a few drills with a cheap and nasty drill jig, I thought I'd better try and sharpen up my extensive collection of blunt end mills.
Page 10 of the 1971 pdf.
but for a rank novice like me, the instructions are obviously not basic enough.
Searching the web, there really isn't that much information about the nitty gritty of using a T&C grinder. Overview yes, but details are thin.
For this case I have the Universal head mounted. Clarkson says turn the table 90° to the wheel. Easy enough, but the swing table has no stops. Do you guys just eyeball it, or do you use a clock to set that?
Since my universal head has no scale, I use the digital level in the phone to set the 7° primary angle. Clarkson then recommends using the "swan necked tool rest bracket". They show a pretty small diameter cup wheel. Mine is bigger. Size does matter. The swan neck hits the cup wheel.
I have metric bushes. They have 25mm OD's. Of the six straight shank cutter holders I have, only one has a 25mm bore (the rest 25.4 /1" ), but it is at the back. I tried stacking a bush into an longer stright shank holder, and then that into the short one which fits in the head. Had no way of locking the mill in length, so just pushed it in till it hit something. Was all a bit fiddly.
Setting the mill horizontal is another one of those simple concepts. Maybe the way I have my Clarkson close to a wall is the problem, but looking in from an angle I find it hard to judge the angle to get the support finger set right.
I think I need to make up a type F tool rest/finger from a thinner hacksaw blade. The one I have is too thick to allow it to spring out when turning from tooth to tooth. I have to back out o the spiral and then reinsert, which goes against Clarksons instructions.
Did the same for the 22° relief angle.
After grinding the rougher a bit, I had a go at butchering another beat up 10mm endmill. This time a center cutter.
Weird bit is, despite a pretty crap first attempt, both cutters cut much better than blunt.
I made a lathe tool holder. I know that lathe tools aren't that critical, being single piont, and it is easy enough to off hand grind them. Still, this makes them look nice. I ground up two aluminium cutting bits, using 12° side rack and 35° top rack. If I'd offhand ground them, I would never have made such an extreme top rack, but they cut beautifully.
Since the first attempt at end mills was pretty crappy, I got a bit more serious.
My wheel dressing diamond is mounted on an 11mm shaft, for which I have no Clarkson bush, so I just clamped a vise to the table for dressing.
Then I made a new F style finger from a broken, thin hacksaw blade. For the set up this time I used just a straight shank holder and bush, and locked the end mill in with a set screw. The set up was much more repeatable, and I got a pretty nice even grind this time. In the end I used a handheld proxon grinder to hollow out the center.
T&C grinders are a lot of fun to play with. I can see the big advantage being the convenience. Since it only takes a minute to set up, you are more likely to touch up a tool, and use a sharp cutter, drill, etc rather than just getting by with a one which is a bit blunt.
At the risk of censure, criticism and probably worse might I say that I have a Mk1 Clarkson.
Whilst the instructions are correct, they were actually written for people in a tool room who were engaged in repeating the same old job- time after time on probably one setting! I doubt that few of us are doing much the same.
Going off at a sort of tangent, I had a look at this recent offering from Eccentric Engineering from OZ and their video of the Acute Tool Grinding rig. I even bought the book for ?£17 and whilst it doesn't tell the tides in HongKong Harbor which my Quorn probably does, it should fit onto the Clarkson table. Of course, it isn't the only simple and easily constructed method.
Me, and I have one extension piece for the spindle but I now want more to hold different abrasive disks. The trouble is that one needs 1/2"BSW Left hand taps and dies. Happily, a set came with my new to me Myford ML10 only days ago.
Does the table leadscrew on your Clarkson Mk1 also turn the wrong way? On mine, you rotate the handle clockwise to retract the slide. Both my Lathes advance the slide with clockwise motion.
Otherwise I really like the Clarkson. Today I needed to use a little 6mm HSS wood router bit which I'd ruined the cutting edges on last time it was used. Couple of minutes on the T&C and it is no longer 6mm, but cuts like a champ again.
A mate just bought a Hardinge in the UK (Lucky bugger), so I made a care package of tool bits ground for steel, brass and aluminium for him. I know it is overkill doing lathe tools on the Clarkson, but the resulting tools look really nice.
Looks like you did a really nice restoration on that Excel grinder. Like the scraped table.
Franz, the friend who sold me the Clarkson, made a really nice welding job on the wheel cover, so I figured I'd finish it to match the machine. Bit of bog and sanding, and I undercoated it yesterday.
I tried to use my Clarkson as a surface grinder to thin down a shim for the lathe. Didn't work, as the head adjustment does not provide sensitive, repeatable, fine, down-feed control. The way the motor counterbalances the head, there is more control of upfeed than down.
Today I bought the radius grinding fixture for my Clarkson. It is only a Mark 1, without the tilting head bracket, but am pretty sure it has never been used. It isn't rusty, it's been sprayed with a waxy preservative oil. It came with a 25mm tool holder shaft, for which I already have the metric mills size bushes, two finger hoders, and I bar I am not sure is for. It is missing the setting bar slide, so I'll have to mill one up.
I bought it from the mate who sold me the Clarkson. He is a tool nut, very skilled machinist, and replaced the Clarkson with a huge TOS T&C grinder, with every accessory you can possibly imagine, and a bunch you wouldn't have thought of.
I had a quick bit of a play with the radius fixture this evening, but since looking in the Clarkson manual, see it needs to be mounted the other way around.
Yep. The bedroom workshop collection of info has been really helpfull. I sent him some photos of my clarkson, but I think he has gone inactive on that front. Tool grinding is a pretty cool way of turning loads of time into grinding dust and maybe a few sharper cutters. Good luck with the four facet drill grinding. So far I have just been using one of those cheap chinese swing jigs for drill sharpening. A bit hit or miss, but still more repeatable than hand grinding for me as I don't practice enough.
What other accessories does you club have for your Clarkson?
Drill sharpening is a doddle set the universal head to 31 degrees set the base at 90 and the slide to 8 or 10 for the cutting edge then 25 for the relief , for the next drill do the relief first and so on , we only have the two centres and holders so far but the machine was free .
Thanks for that recommendation. I'll give that a try. Do you also split the point on your four facet grind.
There are so many different ways to skin a cat with a T&C grinder, that sometime the most simple solution gets lost in the fog.
Really, the Clarkson was not designed to do drills. It was designed to grind and then restore milling cutters.
Indeed you can 'do' lathe tools and you can 'do' drills but there are plenty of better ways.
Only a couple of days ago, I visited an old friend who was using a short wheel base Stent to do tiny bits of grinding which would have been lost on the BIG Brother Clarkson from which it is copied- and improved. My friend had an ancient Reliance jig 'tied' to the table of the Stent.
Again, I recall that in a different age, I recalled a then new Quorn having a similar jig 'tied' to one.
Don't get me wrong. I have a Mk1 Clarkson and I have a Quorn and oddly, I have a fabricated Stent.
What is probably pertinent is that Arnold Throp of Dore Engineering and also connected withIvan Law had made a Quorn but was using a very much more simple Kennet at a Harrogate Model Engineering stand.
Over the past few hours, I was following 'Peter's' suggestion to use a three way vice ex RDG Tools to do his lathe tools.
All well and good, you may think but can a whatever you have 'mirror finish' a piece of steel in the lathe?
For what it is worth, I rough grind- to shape and then change the grind to say a wheel with a 80 grit wheel and then finish with a diamond wheel.
However, NONE of this can easily break the sharp edge to a lathe tool which will literally remove a barely perceptical dusting of swarf. I do it by hand on a 600 grit diamond stone and then traditionally finish on a conventional Arkansas stone- by hand.
Indeed, I could use an undrilled cast iron face plate impregnated with perhaps green diamond paste.
I also touch up the surface on HSS lathe tools with a whetsone after grinding.
Funny to think of the Clarkson as big. I find it rather small and cramped for some operations. I don't have the space or inclination to have multiple specialised tools set up for lathe tools or drills, and am happy with using the Clarkson for these tasks as well.
What a dream to use. You can dial in any lead angle from -90° through to 90°, has no backlash, feels near frictionless (although still not quite like the TOS air bearing attachment. His regrinds are not perfect.
What has me intrigued is the Beijing Deckel clone. More of this later?
Yesterday I stripped down the RGA to wash off all the preservative wax. It was a real magnet for grinding dust. Ground a radius on a lathe tool. Man I could get hooked on this. Next I need to make the missing setting bar slide.
Shame I ran out of time to try the four facet drill grinding method.
I'm in the middle of restoring a Quorn T&C which came off badly when I lost my shed roof twice in the winter storms.
However, it seems fair to mention that since 1973 when the Quorn details were published in Model Engineer that there has been a vast amount of published information - much of it in Model Engineers Workshop, to improve not only the Quorn but also the Clarkson and its smaller copy, the Stent.
Apart from copyright restrictions, half the fun can be actually finding out which issues are relevant.
Guy's phone number is (604) 922-4909 according to Canada411.ca, a call might get results?
Also MEW 76 has a series of articles on a Raymac T&C which bears some resemblance to the mini Tinker.
Thanks but unfortunately I'm a Limey B****** which complicates things about payments and so on.
I actually bought the original castings etc from Norman Tinker in Nottingham, England-- a million years ago.
I was curious about how Tinker reground things like taps which are not on my copies.
As mentioned, I'm doing up the old rusty Quorn and have just designed and made a jig to weld the polyethylene drive belts.
Where I got to( mentally) was to change the single speeds on my various grinders to three step ones. Again, there is a series of articles by the late Philip Amos on his Quorn variant.
I'm still quite busy at over 88 years!
I mounted my Tinker on an old cross slide and compound and has improved it no end , I did post pictures when I modified it on hear .
Thanks Jeff. I'm merely curious to know what a Tinker is really capable of.
I'm into this maths formula thing for determining variations on Pi etc which seems to be the basis of the Tinker-or was.
One wonders how these 'newer' slot drills are re-sharpened.
I heated the clay package in the furnace till it started glowing, and then another half hour, so I hope there is a deep enough skin of Martensite to still have a hard surface after surface grinding from the current 6.18mm down to the final 5.78mm dimension.
Ground another lathe bit. This is so easy, I can see all my lathe bits haveing defined radius's soon.
This is shakey video of my home brew cutter grinder its just cobbled together from a X-Y table a myford vertical slide and a bench grinder the holder/indexer is made using a straight shank ER 32 collet holder it works well for me.
Actually your set up seems little different to both the Clarkson and the Stent. The only real difference is that both machines had/have a pivoting top to off set for tapers. I have both a Clarkson and a Stent but the Quorn has an integral rotary table which is capable of tilting in 360 degrees.
The nice feature is that it does not need spanners but today, there are these Bristol clamps which are fairly inexpensive and available.
I've a set which came on my Chinese Beijing Deckel affair which I am sort of shaking hands with in my spare time.
Well you sure are right about that being a doddle. Won't bother using the wobbly chinese drill grinding jig anymore, except for drills too big to fit into my ER 16 and ER32 collets.

ISB overtakes IIMs placement offer
| Published: Wednesday, April 5, 2006, 19:05 [IST]
New Delhi, Apr 5: Hyderabad-based Indian School of Business (ISB) today reported the highest international package of 233,800 dollars (Rs 1.04 crore), surpassing Indian Institute of Management's 193,000 dollar offer.
''The higgest international salary has been offered by an Indian technology company,'' ISB Deputy Dean Ajit Rangnekar said.
He, however, declined to divulge the name of both the company and the student who has bagged the deal.
The average international salary for ISB students stood at Rs 53.5 lakh, up 21 per cent over 2005, while the average Indian salary was Rs 11.77 lakh, 18 per cent more than last year.
''The highest Indian salary of Rs 30.33 lakh came from the Indian company HiTech,'' Mr Rangnekar said.
India is becoming the preferred location for our MBA students as this is where all the action is, he said adding in the next five years there is going to be a reverse brain drain with most MBAs choosing the home turf to International offers.
Mr Rangnekar said four ISB students have bagged offers that have crossed the one crore mark.
Talking about the trend in placements for this year, Mr Rangnekar said, ''It is the Indian companies that have raised the bar significantly, offering international salaries to our students.'' A total of 143 companies participated in the placement process and out of 328 students, 65 women were placed, representing 19 per cent of the total class of this year.
The offers varied over a range of sectors including Technology, Consulting, Finance, FMCG, Banking and Financial services, etc.
''This year we also had sectors like infrastructure, real estate, and media, making a mark at ISB.
4 graduates of ISB offered USD 200,000 salary

Certain topics of ranch life are seldom shared with the public, but risking to offend the politically correct, I offer our 'Practice with Coyotes'.
A couple of decades or more ago, I took a page from Dayton Hyde's book, Don Coyote, and let the coyotes on the ranch alone, hoping their population would stabilize to fit our rodent population. We ran stockers then to help cover the expenses of our cow herd, and the coyote's threat to our commercial calves was minimal, in part because our mother cows were a diluted heterosis of Hereford, Angus, Brahma and Longhorn mix that could fend for themselves and their calves. In those days, we really didn't have a breeding program. We bought good bulls and our good mothers stayed, but their multicolored and uneven calves became increasingly difficult to market.
Though I admire Hyde's experience and philosophy, I haven't convinced the coyotes to leave our small Wagyu-cross calves alone. From a coyote's perspective, a pasture scattered with first-calf heifers and sleeping, fifty-pound calves does not go unnoticed. Thirty to forty pounds lighter than our straight English calves, the Wagyu bulls allow us to breed yearling heifers instead of two-year olds, but the Wagyu-cross babies are too tempting for even the shyest coyote.
Primarily tied to the rodent population, ground squirrels, gophers and mice, coyotes also clean-up carrion that limits potential diseases on ranchlands. Between the feral hogs and coyotes, the eagles and vultures, a wild or domestic carcass doesn't last long. But ultimately, it is the variables of winter temperatures and rain, grass growth and seed that dictate our rodent, and hence the coyote's, population.
From an economic standpoint, a Wagyu-cross calf can generate $800-900 seven months after it's born. The extra costs associated with breeding a yearling heifer, keeping her in shape to raise her calf and breed back again might total $500-600. Each heifer that loses a calf can get costly in a hurry.
Daring to play coyote psychologist, we don't want our calves to become the new main course, our calving fields the easiest place to go for a free meal, so we discourage their presence by beginning in August, a month before calving, with a rifle. We tend to leave the coyotes alone by January, as most our calves are big enough by then to take care of themselves.
So what do I know? What seems to be our impact on the coyote population? Depending upon our competence with a gun, I'd like to believe that we have become part of the natural selection of the coyote, eliminating the slower and more naïve individuals, and educating the rest. 60-70% of my 15-20 coyote kills in August are juveniles, almost full-grown, but most of which would probably not kill a calf in the year they were born. By the end of September, I might shoot five more, almost all adults, and maybe five more adults by December, by which time the juveniles look like adults, especially with longer hair.
Over the past decade, the coyote population remains vibrant, vacillating with weather conditions and food supply. At no time have I entertained the notion that I have truly impacted their numbers, though I do believe I have discouraged their presence in certain pastures, which is what I've intended.
Looking back at the days when the use of 1080 squirrel poison was commonplace, we may have had less coyotes. But it also seems in the 1960s that we had many times more ground squirrels, despite the poison's 95% success rate. Because 1080 would also kill other species that might consume the poison-coated grain, retained in the carcass, it would also kill whatever fed upon the carcass before it became illegal to employ. This was especially good for the coyote.
Comfortable in town and Valley orchards, the coyote may be one of our most adaptable species, and most admirable in these quickly changing times. Even the Native Wukchumni identified themselves with the coyote, a clever symbol of self-reliance and survival that yet endures here.

Wondering, with the amount culling you do, do you still have any losses? Also, since cougar hunting has been stopped do you have any losses from them? I would think they could be a problem if they got started.

I have previously expressed my dislike for book publishers to re-release a book using the actors on the cover once it becomes a movie. I still feel that way in general but in this situation, I will admit the actresses on the cover is what caught my attention. Who can pass up a book with Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore on the cover?! And at the same time, same 2nd hand store, I bought the paperback book and the movie. I just had a feeling it was going to be worth it. I was right. Michael Cunningham did an amazing job of weaving together the lives of 3 different women living in three different times using Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway as the common thread. It was an enthralling journey. Even if you have not read Mrs. Dalloway, you will not miss out. It might even inspire you to go get a copy. (That's actually exactly how it happened with me.) There is so much more I would say but I am resisting... for your sake. No spoilers. You'll thank me later. Treat yourself to this beautiful, honest piece of literature. And then rent the movie. Very well done...but yes, the book is better.

Part 1: Delighting Customers with Superior Retail Operations
CEOs and co-founders from Flexe, FitCode, and BevyUp discuss how to delight customers during Seattle Startup Week 2018.
Last week, we attended Seattle Startup Week in Pioneer Square. Flexe CEO and co-founder, Karl Siebrecht, was on a panel alongside Rian Buckley, co-founder and CEO of FitCode, and Mauricio Cuevas, co-founder and CEO of BevyUp, and moderated by Laurel Martin.
An effective handle on your retail logistics operation increases customer satisfaction
Retailers lose customers to Amazon when shipping does not meet consumer expectations
Meeting delivery expectations requires strategic and effective fulfillment center placement
Together they addressed how to delight customers with superior retail operations. Below is part one of the presentation, which addresses introductions and the number one industry driver that influenced each co-founder to start their business.
Read the full transcript below or watch the video.
Laurel Martin:
By quick introduction, my name is Laurel Martin and I am a former Morgan Stanley banker covering retail and I've got some wonderful, wonderful experts here to talk about retail operations who are here to share their expertise with you.
Before we kick this off, I would like to just get a sense of who's in the room and do just a quick show of hands if you work directly in the field of retail operations in some capacity. A couple of you. Okay. Great.
What about more broadly if you work in a B2C or direct-to-consumer business? What about anyone who does more B2B as a service provider to a direct consumer? A couple more. Great. Anyone who has no direct experience with retail but just found this topic really interesting? Okay.
Lastly, thinking about you as a consumer, raise your hand if you would say that you spend the majority of your consumer dollars in stores? So, I guess most online. Yeah. Okay. Great. Well, I think that will be helpful to us as we discuss today. We'll definitely have time for questions at the end, but if you have a burning question as we're talking, please feel free to shoot up your hand and ask.
So, what I'd like to do now is just turn it over to the panelists up here and then maybe if you want to spend a minute or two just providing a brief introduction about who you are, your experience, and your business.
Rian Buckley:
My name is Rian Buckley. I am the co-founder and CEO of a company called FitCode. We are a fashion data company and we integrate straight onto eCommerce sites, and personalize experience by fit. So, we just do denim. Everyone wears denim. So, if you go to a brand website like Joe's Jeans we ask you five questions, there are over 300 denim options, we say here are the 10 that are going to fit you and this is the size to buy in them. So, we're all about personalizing online and making that decision to get to "yes" to purchase easier for the consumer.
Mauricio Cuevas:
My name is Mauricio Cuevas. I'm the founder and CEO of BevyUp. BevyUp was acquired by Nordstrom in March of this year but what we did, which actually now happens under the Nordstrom brands, was we provided tools for sales associates for them to be able to sell online. So, basically, we merged online and offline in sales.
Karl Siebrecht:
Hi, my name is Karl Siebrecht. I'm a founder and CEO of a company called Flexe. We're in the warehousing and fulfillment business. So, we're a tech platform that connects retailers and CPGs to over 1000 warehouses that they can tap into to provide inventory management, order management, order routing, etc. for their fulfillment numbers.
He talked about how much of a mismatch there was between the dynamic nature of his business—very high growth and somewhat seasonal—and the way traditional warehousing and fulfillment work which is a very sort of stagnant fixed financial obligation to sort of reserve capacity, which was just a mismatch.
Laurel:
Thank you. Okay. Karl, since you've got the mic maybe I'll keep it down to you. So, what was it that you observed in the marketplace that really sparked the idea for FLEXE and then what actually gave you conviction to leave what you were doing before and have a go at it?
Karl:
Sure. I spent most of my career in tech and B2B software and for about 15 years I was an ad (advertising) tech from the point at which that industry was just emerging all the way through kind of it becoming fairly mature. But I was very familiar with eCommerce and online retail from the perspective of kind of everyone was involved to get people to the shopping cart and we sort of declared victory for our clients when someone would click to buy something and never really thought about what happened after that.
I was CEO of a company that we sold and then had some time to sort of think about what was next. And, two things happened, one I wanted to go back into B2B tech, probably not ad tech just to sort of do something new. And then, a friend of a friend basically came and laid the idea for Flexe in our laps. It was a guy who had founded a business, was selling home barware, martini glasses and bottle openers and everything in that category. He was importing from overseas through a warehouse in Kent and distributing to retail stores like wine stores, gift shops and was starting to sell online. And he basically talked about how much of a mismatch there was between the dynamic nature of his business—very high growth and somewhat seasonal—and the way traditional warehousing and fulfillment work which is a very sort of stagnant fixed financial obligation to sort of reserve capacity, which was just a mismatch.
So, he said, "Hey, there's got to be a better way. It's probably a tech-enabled business." And that's what led us to create Flexe. Knowing that obviously eCommerce is massive, and it's only getting larger, and it's a huge category, fairly outdated technology, and an opportunity to kind of create a better way for a certain class of businesses again those that need flexible kind of solutions to compete better.
Mauricio:
Well, for me it was more like a personal frustration. It was an event that happened to me. I was trying to buy a camera with my sister. My sister was in a different city and the collaboration was very difficult. At the end of the day, we had the money, we had the intent, we wanted to buy the camera but because the collaboration was very difficult, we didn't do it. I need to make a note here. It was 2009, 2010. So, we didn't have as many options for collaboration as we have today. So, at that point I realized, I said, "Hey, there has to be a better way to do this."
And, we started with a model that was consumer to consumer, more like kind of the social commerce concept and we quickly realized that there wasn't a lot of money to be made in social commerce at least with the technology that we had developed at that time. And one of our customers, you know, when we were reviewing our monthly performance, the guy said, "Look, I know people are using you. I know they are buying more, but are they really buying more because of you or because you're segmenting my best customers?"
And it was a question that was very difficult to answer, right. And then, at the end, the guy said, "Look, you know what, you know who's using it a lot are our sales associates. Do you guys have a dashboard for sales associates?" I said, "Yes. We do. Give me two weeks because I am going to go out on a business trip, but I'll come back in two weeks and I'll show you what we have." We didn't sleep for two weeks. We developed an amazing dashboard with a lot of tools for sales associates and that's how we ended up with BevyUp.
Rian:
I love that because I think the best solutions are really formed out of problems that you see firsthand and it was the same thing with FitCode. I went to the University of Washington and then I modeled all over the world for the next five or six years and that was my introduction to the fashion industry. It was through that and my experience being the model on set and having all my clothes tailored and pinned and photoshopped to look great on me that I realized there's a huge disconnect between what people see online and what they're actually getting when they order it and it shows up at their door.
And as we've all followed the news in the last few years, brick and mortar is slowly kind of, it's not dying, I think it's still a very important part of the retail business, but purchases are happening online. They're happening online with more and more frequency. And so, if we can make that more successful, we can solve that disconnect and say, "Hey, customers. You can have a personal experience online just like you would in the store." The brand is going to make a lot more money. They're going to survive and they're going to innovate this time when innovation is really needed. So, that's where FitCode was born.
The single biggest thing that's changed for our business in fulfillment is consumers delivery promise expectations
And I think all of you have touched on the fact that at least the initial idea came a while ago when eCommerce was not nearly as prevalent as it is now. In the time you spent working on FitCode or FLEXE or BevyUp, what have you learned about working with retailers or how have the needs of the retailers that you work with evolved and then your business, therefore, has evolved? I mean, I think Mauricio you touched on going from social commerce to more of like a sales associate model. So, what's that experience for you been?
Yeah. I'm going to speak from our experience talking to brands. So, we just do premium denim. About 2 ½ years ago when I would go to these heads of these brands—the CEOs, COOs, CMOs of these companies—Hudson, Joe's Jeans, Citizen, etc., they were all extremely resistant to change and to innovation. It was a scary time in retail. They were losing business. Brick-and-mortar stores were shutting down. We were watching companies go bankrupt. So, they were all just trying to hold on and they weren't able to see that if they wanted to break through, they wanted to survive, they had to innovate.
It was a really tough sell in those days. I'd say in the last 18 months or so, eCommerce has just skyrocketed. And suddenly these people have a little more cash on hand, they made it through the "retail apocalypse", and they're realizing we made it through because we innovated. We need to find more innovation. We need to bring customers online, meet them where they're at, personalize, and make that whole shopping experience more successful.
And so, at least from my perspective, I'd say the last two years have been a great time to be in the eCommerce retail world because people are realizing that that's where this is that and if they want to survive they have to do business differently. Anyone who's creating companies in that space, the time is hot. You gotta go now. It's a really good time to be in this business.
"If retailers wanted to break through, they wanted to survive, they had to innovate."
Yeah, you touched on something that was very apparent to us when we started, which is there was this big change [happening]. At least what we experienced is with most of the retailers that we contacted that were customers of ours, their resistance to change was huge.
But at the end of the day, in principle, the retail business needs are the same, right? You have convenience, selection, and price depending on what business you're talking about. In the case of luxury, price is not an issue. But, what has changed, and it was difficult to make people realize this, is the means in which retailers use in order to deliver those three things: price, convenience, and selection.
Most of the people we encountered in this process, and I agree with you in the last year and a half / two years it has changed a lot, were in denial. They were in denial like, "Oh, the website, yeah, that's a small channel. That's something that we have there for the customers."
Our perfect customer was a retailer that had stores and an eCommerce operation. Most of the people that were on the top came from the stores. They've been old-timers, 20 to 25 years at the same company and now they're VPs and someone says, "Hey, it seems like we need eCommerce. You, go, manage our eCommerce business."
We found that the retailers that we talked to a lot of people didn't know what they were doing or didn't have the resources in order to invest. That has been one of the key things that we encountered. And it's changing. Now there are more people aware that management is changing and thanks to that we found more companies that adopted our technology. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to you.
The single biggest thing that's changed for our business in fulfillment is consumers delivery promise expectations. So how many, this is almost an unfair question, but how many people are Prime members? Okay. Almost everybody.
Almost everybody is a Prime member which means you get your goods typically in two days and most of you go Prime Now which is either two hours or four if you don't get the premium. So, even five years ago, you know, typical expectations of three to five days seemed pretty good.
Who knows the number one reason for shopping cart abandonment online? This is for customers that have purchase intent. So, not kind of lookie-loos, but I have purchase intent, the number one reason I put something in my cart and bailout.
Shipping expenses.
That was kind of a softball question, but the content is great. But yeah, it's dissatisfied with the delivery promise. So, either it's going to cost me too much or it's going to take too long. So, again, I spent 15 years on the customer acquisition side, so I've seen firsthand what brands and retailers pay to get people to come to their sites, to acquire customers.
So, you've spent all this money to get them to come to that cart, you design this beautiful web experience with all this great shopping experience, to get them to select items and put them in the cart and you're there and they go to check out and they're like, "Five-to-seven days. Are you kidding me?" New browser. What do you type in? Amazon. And they probably have it and you're going to get it in two days and life is good.
"Five-to-seven days. Are you kidding me?" New browser.
Think about that. You spent all that money, you get people to the site and they bail out because of this mundane back-office thing—warehousing and fulfillment. It's not doing it for me now. So, here's the other thing about warehousing and fulfillment, in order to get a fast delivery time and a reasonable cost per unit, you have to have inventory close to where the buyer is. You can't ship from Florida to Seattle and get it there fast and cheap.
You've got to have a distributed fulfillment network. You've got to have inventory in those facilities, hopefully somewhat intelligently driven. You've got the right types of inventory in the right areas and that can take a ton of capital if you have to go lease a building, install software, put financial investment against that.
Amazon has like 300 facilities—warehouses, sortation centers, fulfillment centers. The number two eCommerce player in the US has 30. So one-tenth. Amazon has spent tens of billions of dollars on this infrastructure. It gives us all the service that we've come to expect. They trained us to demand.
But what's difficult about that is there aren't many other companies in the world that can afford to replicate that infrastructure. So, that's the biggest thing that's changed from our standpoint is now retailers from the largest in the world all the way down to VC-funded, high-growth digital companies, they all need to compete with this Amazon delivery promise. I also have to get my product there pretty much as fast as the other guy. How do I do that? How can I afford to do that? There's a key question.
"In order to get a fast delivery time and a reasonable cost per unit, you have to have inventory close to where the buyer is.

I did not read hard core science fiction till I was into college. But I had actually read books that could pass as science fiction even during my childhood – GI Joe Game books. Very often many of the concepts from serious science fiction are introduced in certain episodes of TV Series like Star Trek and Star Gate, some comic books and also game books like these. Game books are a form of interactive fiction which does not require technology and have existed from long before the more story-like computer games came into existence. Game books have a very interesting facet of good decision making that is somehow still not a part of most of the popular computer games.
A game book is basically a book where the reader makes his own story through the decisions he makes. At the end of every page, the characters will come up against a decision point. Based on the decision he takes, he or she will be lead to a certain page number where story continues based on the decision the reader takes. And then from that page the reader is lead to another page. That way each reader gets a story customized for him or her. Some stories may be long with protagonists dying very early. Some may be longer and multiple storylines might follow different paths and merge at some point. There are lots of possibilities and each book may have as many as 10-15 different stories based on the decisions.
The GI Joe book as such is based on the toys – they are a group of futuristic military group fighting against a terrorist outfit called Cobra. The stories have lot of advanced weapons and span over multiple terrains and usually one of the nine or ten key GI Joe characters is the protagonist of the story. They are somewhat like super heroes – just instead of super power they have some weapon specialty. Each book has a Cobra villain with some diabolic plan and the hero and his team has to travel across various terrains to stop the villains. Decisions are usually around directions to take, whether to trust someone or not, whether to enter some dangerous place or not and other similar things.
I have seen a more complicated version of the game book which has fight sequences as well in addition to decisions. Here the protagonist is given scores in terms of his ability in strength, defense, agility, intelligence etc. So every time he faces a situation, the adversary will have scores and based on both scores and luck factor decided by throw of a dice, outcome of a battle will get decided. That way it is nearer to computer games. The book I saw of this type was a historic fiction focusing on the battle of Normandy. I have also seen a fantasy tale game book around this concept.
Only limitation of this type of game is that number of storylines is limited. Also if a book is of size 200 pages, one story will be usually as small as 70-80 pages. Initially it is thrilling to explore the various paths the story can take but it can get repetitive and boring. Also for some reason this type of books did not become very popular. So it is possible this concept may work better in a medium like computer games.
Overall I think it is one of the types of fiction definitely to be considered by fantasy, fiction and historic fiction enthusiasts. It will help one think over the what-if of every key decision taken by the characters. And since I have seen these books associated only with these three genres, this is probably even more special for enthusiasts of these genres.

I was not a fan of these books, mainly because I was obsessive about reading every book completely and, with these, doing that meant you had to keep track of the choices. Seemed too much like work to me :) Probably would work with games a lot better.
Yeah, Suresh - it can get tedious. But people who are not so obsessive should be all right with it I guess.
umashankar 20 January 2015 at 17:24
Even if the stories based on games get automatically customized for the player-protagonist, they turn out to be a two-dimensional affair. The absence of inner exploration of the characters at any level renders the proceeding a flatness that may well get boring after a time. That said, there should be room enough for the genre in the scheme of things.
Well umashankar - it is upto the writer to introduce the inner exploration. Mostly the game books are for children are more shallow readers. So they don't get into inner exploration. But if more serious readers are reading/playing, there maybe someone who writes such books.
Jayashree Srivatsan 21 January 2015 at 11:43
I was not aware of these kind of books...Interesting !
Yes Jaish - that was my purpose - to introduce these mediums of story telling about which people may not be aware.

2 months into his presidency, Trump continues to make some of the worst men's style mistakes
It's possible that no president in modern history has had as much attention paid to his clothing — and how he presents himself — as Trump.
For better or worse, Americans expect their presidents to look (and behave) a certain way. Looking "presidential" isn't a specific quality, and it's one that's hard to pin down, but it's essential to have in order to be elected to the highest office in the land. Or, it used to be essential anyway.
Trump was known for his trademark hair and style well before he became a politician, but now that he's president, there's understandably a renewed focus on how he's presenting himself. And yet, Trump hasn't changed much about his style except for one noteworthy event, his address to a joint session of Congress in February.
Let's see how he's looked through his campaign and presidency thus far.
Trump announces his candidacy — June 16, 2015
Getty/Christopher Gregory
When Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015, he wore what would become his default "big speech" uniform.
It consists of an un-tailored, blue, off-the-rack suit, usually worn unbuttoned and with a fire-engine red tie. The pants, especially, were excessively baggy. It's also the first time we saw Trump wear the American flag lapel pin, though it certainly wasn't the last.
We also get the first peek at the too-long tie, which would become a Trump signature.
Trump accepts the Republican nomination — July 21, 2016
Getty/Joe Raedle
By the time Trump accepted the GOP nomination at the 2016 Republican convention, his uniform had essentially remained unchanged.
This time, however, Trump switched it up with a slightly shiny suit likely made by his favored label, Brioni. The issue here was that the fabric tended to look wrinkly.
The final debate — October 19, 2016
Getty/Win McNamee
Trump didn't switch up his style for the debates, either, sticking with the same shiny suit and either a red or blue tie.
Here, we can see how the shoulders of the jacket created a divot when he moved his arm, indicating it didn't fit quite right.
The inauguration — January 20, 2017
AP/Evan Vucci
Inauguration Day didn't mark a big change to how Trump dressed himself, but we did start to notice that he tapes the back of his tie. Because the tie usually runs so low and there's not enough extra fabric, the tail of his tie does not reach the keeper loop — that ring of fabric attached to the back of your tie, which keeps the tail from peeking out.
Short story made shorter: The tie is not being tied in the correct place, causing multiple issues. He fixes that with Scotch tape.
Trump's first speech to Congress — February 28, 2017
In his first speech to a joint session of Congress, Trump wore a suit that looked markedly different from his usual get-up.
He ditched the shiny blue suit for one a few shades darker, and he even decided to button the jacket. The difference was striking.
The tie wasn't completely new — we'd seen this striped blue number at rallies and campaign events. However, paired with the new suit it created a subdued, commanding look. Even the jacket's cuffs fit just about perfectly.
He looked, in a word, polished.
Getty/Mark Wilson
That evolution didn't last, though. Trump was back to his old tricks of absurdly long, fire-engine red ties and unbuttoned coats soon enough.

The 50 best metal albums of 2021
No fall-out in Kill Devil HIll split
By Stef Lach published 12 May 14
Rex Brown says Vinny Appice was simply too busy to tour with band
Kill Devil Hill's Rex Brown insists there has been no fall-out with drummer Vinny Appice.
The former Pantera man says Appice was unavailable to tour with Kill Devil Hill and all parties were happy enough for Johnny Kelly to take over the sticks.
Brown tells Metal Nation Radio: "It was kind of a mutual thing where Vinny had some other stuff he wanted to do and we wanted to go tour. So everything was cool, there was no problems."
The band announced in March that founder member Appice had left, to be replaced by former Type O Negative drummer Kelly. Appice can still be heard on the band's latest album Revolution Rise. The former Black Sabbath man is working on a new project called WAMI, with an album due out this year.
Brown adds that Kelly has reinvigorated Kill Devil Hill. He says: "I've known Johnny for 20 years and he has been incredible. We did a lot of rehearsing and played some shows and every night he gets better and better. He's so solid. I was just smiles from ear to ear the whole time. He just naturally came in and did what he did. Of course he has to play the parts that Vinny plays on the record but he throws what I call the 'Johnny-isms' on top of them and it's been a real kick in the pants for us."
Kill Devil Hill are currently on a US tour, before an appearance at Download Festival on June 15.

We strive to provide a nurturing environment in which our girls are happy, well-adjusted and fulfilled. That's why we're here with her through every success and failure, the good times and the bad.
At LEH, there is always someone here to listen. In the Junior School, Form Teachers play a key role in supporting each girl and closely monitor academic, personal and social development. Pastoral care underpins everything that we do in school and girls are encouraged to talk freely and openly to their Form Teacher, or any member of staff for help, advice or to share worries of any kind.
We have a school nurse based in the Junior School who is on hand to deal with bumps, bruises, administer medication or give advice. Our school nurse gives great hugs and is a helping hand!
A comprehensive PSHE curriculum and circle times give children a great sense of support from both the teacher and their peers. Pupils are involved in making decisions about school life through regular school council meetings. Upper II pupils are trained to be Peer Mentors and support other children where needed at lunch and break times. Upper II Cyber mentors can also advise and support other pupils who have worries about online safety and use of social media. A ten week Mindfulness programme is delivered to Lower II pupils in the Autumn term to help them develop tools to aid calm and inner peace when faced with stressful situations.
Once a year, the whole school comes off timetable to celebrate Wellbeing Day, which aims to help pupils to find balance and fulfilment in their sometimes hectic lives by teaching how their bodies and minds function. During Wellbeing Day students (and staff) participate in activities such as feet painting, marble runs, mindful colouring, bead making, Lego building and clay sculpting. Outdoor events include visiting farm animals, gardening, giant bubbles, dog walking and parachute games.
We have a school counsellor on-hand should any of the girls in our care need that extra bit of support to help them through any difficulties.
Our House System encourages fun, friendly competition, co-operation and teamwork. The Junior School is divided into four houses: Burlington, Hackney, St Giles and Summerleigh.
On an individual basis, girls are awarded merits for good behaviour, effort and good work and girls enjoy receiving Bronze, Silver or Gold merit certificates. At the end of the year, the House with the most merits is awarded the House Cup. Throughout the year our girls participate in 'House' events which include House Assemblies, House Netball, Inter-House Swimming Galas, Inter-House Tennis and Sports Day.
Upper II girls have the opportunity to take responsibility and develop leadership skills as House Captains and Games Captains.
Parents can talk to us
At LEH we recognise that parents and guardians are crucial to pupils' health and wellbeing, learning and achievement. Good relationships and communication between the school and our parents are developed through:
• Weekly newsletters
• Parents' Information Evenings (Curriculum Evenings) and Workshops
• Friends of LEH
• Information on the school website and Parent Portal
• Reporting to parents about children's personal development through formal and informal means
• Offering parent training opportunities such as 'Raising Resilience' workshops
• Parents are made to feel welcome in the school at celebrations of work and achievement, assemblies, concerts, sporting and drama events
• Parents are encouraged to be volunteers on school visits and share expertise in the classroom
If parents have concerns or worries they are encouraged to talk to their daughter's Form Teacher, followed by the Deputy Head or Head of Junior School if necessary. Parents should feel able to share concerns about home circumstances or medical matters that might affect their child's work or behaviour in school. Parents may wish to discuss health and medical matters with the school nurse.
Joining a new school can be a very daunting experience for young children so at LEH we like to make that extra special effort to make the move a smooth and happy transition.
On the first day of term, we invite the new Form I's into school the day before the rest of the Junior School returns. This gives the new students a chance to settle in and find their way around whilst the school environment is quieter.
During your daughter's first week with us she will be given a 'buddy', an older girl in her own House (Burlington, Hackney, St. Giles or Summerleigh). Her buddy will keep a very close eye out for her around the school and particularly at break and lunch times to make sure that she is happy and that she knows where she is going; this can take a little time!
Starting to build their friendships
In the first few days your daughter will also have the chance to take part in a 'Team-building Day'. It is a day where she can really get to know the other girls in her class and the year group whilst focusing on skills such as planning, communication, working together and perseverance, with fun at the heart of every activity.
Your daughter's Form Teachers give all the new FI girls plenty of help and support, not only through our comprehensive PSHE curriculum, but also by developing strong positive relationships. This way she can make the most of the fabulous learning opportunities on offer at LEH.
Girls travel to the Junior School from a wide catchment area, and many use the school coach network.
Breakfast is available as an optional extra at the Junior School from 7.30am and school starts at 8.45 am.
There is an Assembly on Monday and Fridays and throughout the week, girls also have Form Time sessions and Hymn Practice. There are two recess periods each day during which the girls may play sports, attend clubs, enjoy the play equipment or just have fun playing and chatting. School lunch is self-service, and there is a wide and varied choice of food.
The school day ends at 3.50pm for all Junior School pupils.
After school care is available in 'Tea and Prep' until 6.00pm (5pm on Fridays) at extra cost. Girls can complete their homework and have a light tea in a supervised and secure environment.
Coach Network
TRANSITION TO SENIOR SCHOOL
Our best expectation is that all pupils, with few exceptions will move seamlessly from the Junior School to the Senior School and we liase closely with Senior School teachers as part of our handover process. We know our pupils well and Y6 girls are not required to sit an entrance examination for entry to LEH Senior School.
During your daughter's time in the Junior School, she will use facilities in the Senior School, giving her an idea of what life is like in the Senior School. Parents all have an opportunity to view the Senior School as prospective parents, and we invite Junior School parents into the Senior School to become familiar and comfortable with what we hope will be your daughter's future Senior School.
Parents of girls in Year 3 and 4 are invited to visit the Senior School for a tour with Year 8 girls, giving you the chance to see the Senior School in action.
In the Summer term of Year 5, parents are invited to attend a special Open Morning consisting of a talk from Mrs Hanbury and a tour of the school.
Also in the Summer term of Year 5, girls spend a day as a Senior School pupil, having a chance to get a feel for life in the Senior School.
To ease the nerves of transitioning to Senior School, in the summer term of Year 6 we invite all Junior School girls joining in the following September (including girls joining from external schools) for 'Moving up day', spending the day with their new Form Tutor and classmates, whilst participating in lots of fun activities.
Come September, on the first day of term, we invite just the new Thirds into school the day before the rest of the Senior School returns. This gives the new students a chance to settle in and find their way around whilst the school environment is quieter.
There is also the exciting option to take part in a residential Team-Building weekend during the Autumn term for the entire Thirds year group. This is a fantastic opportunity to make new friends across the year group and learn the true meaning of team-work.
Moving On Up!
Knowing the move from Junior to Senior School is a big step, Mrs Mortimer (Head of Junior School) & Mrs Sinnett (Head of Middle School) share their advice for ensuring a smoother transition from Junior to Senior School. Click here to read more.
