Is Howard Gardner the most misunderstood and misappropriated educationalist (his preferred term) in the world today or he just the only theorist most educators have heard of?
Today, two different pieces of reading started me thinking about Howard Gardner.
At first glance, the Beloglovsky and Daly book represents an impressive way of teaching learning theories to preservice and inservice educators. They identify a half dozen or so leading learning theorists, provide a brief description of their theories, and then through field examples, explore how those theories may be actualized in classroom practice. My initial thought was, "Why doesn't anyone take a similar approach to educational psychology for elementary and secondary teachers?" Seriously!
It seems odd that the least paid and respected folks in education, early childhood teachers, seem to receive the richest exposure to learning theory. But, I digress.
Howard Gardner is one of the seminal theorists used in Early Learning Theories Made Visible and the author's explanation and application of his multiple intelligences theory is a bit of a mess. (Discussions of multiple intelligences theory are often a confusing mess.) It seems as if the authors were so desperate to avoid wading into the fake controversy regarding "learning styles," popular across social media and ed schools who hate children, that they initially just call the theory MI, assuming that all of their readers know what MI means. Then predictably, many of the examples of MI in the book are about pedagogy, not learning. In any event, the Early Learning Theories Made Visible is impressive and a worthy addition to your library, even if the first chapter could have benefited from a critical friend.
I highly recommend reading the new Harvard profile of Howard Gardner. Long-form interviews of thoughtful experts blessed with rich lives and professional success are always a great read.
One comment in that profile stood out for me.
Gardner's thoughts on his written output made me think. Perhaps such prolific writing has obscured his ideas?
Gardner's best ideas might be the ones reducible to a t-shirt slogan. For example, Multiple intelligences theory simply means that intelligence cannot be measured in one way.
Less might indeed be more.
I highly recommend that everyone read an incredibly important and sadly overlooked anthology,"MI at 25: Assessing the Impact and Future of Multiple Intelligences for Teaching and Learning." This book contains essays by experts making cogent thoughtful arguments for and against multiple intelligences theory.

Die evangelisch-lutherische Holtroper Kirche steht im ostfriesischen Großefehn-Holtrop. Die rechteckige romanische Saalkirche aus Backstein geht auf die Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts zurück.

Geschichte und Beschreibung
Im Mittelalter unterstand die Kirche der Propstei Leer im Bistum Münster.
Die Holtroper Kirche ist mit einem Grundriss von 32,3 × 11,3 Metern eine der größeren Dorfkirchen Ostfrieslands. An den Langseiten sind außen Reste der alten Pilaster erhalten, die die Wände in drei Felder gliedern. Die alten rundbogigen Portale sind heute zugemauert. In der Nordwand befindet sich noch ein kleines hoch sitzendes Rundbogenfenster. Die größeren Fenster mit Laibungen wurden später eingebrochen.

An der Ostseite der Kirche befand sich ursprünglich eine eingezogene halbrunde Apsis, die jedoch aus statischen Gründen am Ende des 13. oder am Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts abgetragen wurde. Seitdem stützen zwei Strebepfeiler den geraden östliche Abschluss. Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts wurde das Chorjoch überwölbt und der Lettner eingebaut. Ursprünglich standen unter dem linken und rechten Bogen Seitenaltäre. Der Sockel des nördlichen Altars ist nachgewiesen. Durch zwei hagioskopartige Spähspalten in der Rückwand des Lettners konnte außerhalb des Priesterchors das liturgische Geschehen am Hochaltar verfolgt werden. Von den drei Gewölbejochen im Langschiff sind nur noch die Ansätze erhalten. Ein Gurtbogen im Chor trennt zwei längliche Gewölbe.

Als 1772 die Orgel ihren Platz auf dem Lettner fand, wurde die Triumphkreuzigungsgruppe an die Nordwand umgehängt. Im Rahmen der Kirchen- und Orgelrenovierung im Jahr 1972 wurde die Orgel auf die Westempore versetzt, während die Kreuzigungsgruppe nach 200 Jahren wieder ihren ursprünglichen Platz auf dem Lettner erhielt.

Im 19. Jahrhundert wurden die Mauern erhöht und der heutige Spitzbogenfries angebracht. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch der neogotische Vorbau für den Eingang im Westen, der als Windfang dient.

Im Jahr 2005 wurde ihr ursprünglicher Name "St. Jürgen" in Archiven der Landeskirche wieder ausfindig gemacht.

Südlich der Kirche steht separat der schiefe Glockenturm des Parallelmauertyps, der drei Glocken beherbergt.

Ausstattung
Der Innenraum wird von einer hölzernen Spiegeldecke abgeschlossen; ursprünglich war der Raum von drei Jochen überwölbt. Bei der Kirchenrenovierung Anfang der 1970er Jahre wurde an der Nordwand ein spätgotisches Freskofragment aus der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts entdeckt, das das Weltgericht darstellt.

Im Inneren der Kirche ist insbesondere der in einer Dorfkirche ungewöhnliche Lettner vor dem Ostchor bemerkenswert, der den vorderen Altarbereich vom Gemeindebereich abtrennt. Er weist drei große Rundbogen auf und ist bis auf den mittleren Durchgang hinten an den Rückseiten zugemauert. Nur in fünf von ursprünglich mindestens 26 ostfriesischen Kirchen ist ein Lettner erhalten. Das Altarretabel aus dem 17. Jahrhundert entstammt der Künstlerschule Cröpelin aus Esens und wurde im Jahr 2001 restauriert. Es stellt in drei übereinander angeordneten Bildern die Abendmahlsszene, die Kreuzigung und die Auferstehung dar. Rank- und Beschlagwerk sowie gewundene Säulen verzieren das Retabel. Öffnungen unter einem Segmentbogen im Altarblock dienten in vorreformatorischer Zeit als Kredenznischen zum Abstellen von Messkännchen. Vor dem Lettner wurde in den 1970er Jahren leicht erhöht eine schlichte Mensa aus Backstein als neuer Altar in Nähe zur Gemeinde errichtet. Auch der Taufstein datiert aus dieser Zeit.

Stilistische Übereinstimmungen zwischen Kanzel und Retabel legen dieselbe Entstehungszeit im 17. Jahrhundert nahe. Das reiche Beschlagwerk an Kanzelkorb und siebeneckigem Schalldeckel weist auf die ausgehende Renaissance. Am Korb sind zwischen den ionischen Ecksäulen die Evangelisten und Christus gemalt.

Auf dem Lettner befindet sich eine lebensgroße Kreuzigungsgruppe aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, die neben dem Gekreuzigten seine Mutter und den Lieblingsjünger Johannes zeigt. Zwei kleine flügellose Engelsgestalten fangen mit Kelchen die Blutstropfen Jesu auf und weisen so auf die Eucharistie hin. Ein dritter Engel, der wahrscheinlich weiter unten stand, ist verschollen. Am Kreuz sind die vier Evangelistensymbole angebracht.

Orgel

Eine einmanualige historische Orgel von Hinrich Justus Müller aus dem Jahr 1772 befindet sich auf der Westempore der Kirche. Typisch für Müller sind der nach außen abgestufte siebenachsige Prospektaufbau, die doppelgeschossigen Flachfelder, die reich profilierten Gesimse und das rankende Schnitzwerk, das an den Seiten je drei hölzerne Blendpfeifen einschließt. Zwei Trompete blasende Engel bekrönen das Gehäuse, das eine Farbfassung mit Nussbaumholzmaserung erhielt. 1883 reparierten die Gebr. Rohlfs das Werk. Im Zuge eines Renovierungsumbaus 1933 ergänzten P. Furtwängler & Hammer einen Subbass 16′ im Pedal und tauschten den Dulcian gegen eine Flöte 8′ aus. Diese Maßnahmen wurden von Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau rückgängig gemacht, als er das Instrument 1976/77 umfassend restaurierte und schließlich im Jahr 2000 noch die zwei ursprünglichen Zungenregister rekonstruierte. Das Instrument verfügt über acht Register und weist wieder die originale Disposition auf.

Kirchengemeinde
Die Holtroper Kirche ist die Gemeindekirche der Großefehntjer Dörfer Akelsbarg, Felde, Wrisse und Holtrop, die ungefähr zweitausend evangelische Gemeindeglieder umfasst. Sie gehört zur Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Hannovers. Eine Besonderheit der Gemeinde ist ihr Bibelgarten.

World's Longest Snake Captured, Promptly Dies
George Dvorsky
Late last week, an absolutely ginormous python was found caught under a tree that had fallen near a Malaysian construction site. Its length has been pegged at 26 feet (8 meters), which, if verified, would make it the longest snake ever captured.
The snake, a reticulated python, was spotted from the air during a flyover in Paya Terubong, a district of Penang. Malaysia's civil defense force was called in to deal with it (yes, really), and it took them a half hour to trap it. Sadly, it died on Sunday after giving birth, three days after it was captured. Or at least that's the story we're being given.
A member of the defense force told The Guardian that the python measures 26.2 feet (eight meters), which would be a world record. Currently, Guinness Records recognizes the longest snake ever in captivity as Medusa, another reticulated python, which currently lives in Missouri. This behemoth measures 25.1 feet (7.67 meters) and weighs 350 pounds (158 kg). That's over 200 pounds (90 kg) lighter than the new Malaysian specimen.
It's possible that larger snakes live in the wild. Back in 1912, a 32-foot-long (10 meter) python was reportedly discovered in Indonesia.

"Min has broken up with Ed and is writing him a letter chronicling their relationship and all the reasons that it has come to an end. To prove to herself and her friends that the relationship is over, Min has put together all of the tokens she accumulated during the brief relationship. The box and the letter are Min's goodbye present for Ed. Each chapter begins with an illustration of an item in the box, followed by the chapter of the relationship associated with it. What better way to get over your high school relationship than reading Min's story and adding your own?"
— Marika McCoola, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened.
Min Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.
DANIEL HANDLER has written for grown-ups under his own name and for younger readers under the name Lemony Snicket. He was dumped at least three times in high school.
MAIRA KALMAN, acclaimed artist and designer, has created many books for both grown-ups and children. Her heart was broken in high school by a boy who looked like Bob Dylan.

Giants' Marvin Austin Healthy And Ready For New Start
Filed Under:Chicago Bears, Chris Canty, Dallas Cowboys, Hakeem Nicks, Jacksonville Jaguars, Marvin Austin, New York Giants, NFL, Tom Coughlin, University At Albany, University of North Carolina
(credit: Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — It was hard to identify defensive tackle Marvin Austin when the Giants reported to training camp at the University at Albany.
The dreadlocks were gone, replaced by a much neater — and shorter — haircut.
The style is significant because this is a new start for Austin. And he needs it. He missed his final season at North Carolina after being suspended. Then, he was dismissed from the team. After being drafted in the second round by the Giants (No. 3 in the AP Pro32) in April 2011, he tore a pectoral muscle in a preseason game against Chicago and missed the season.
"I am having so much fun out there just learning the game at the NFL level and getting into it," Austin said Tuesday before lunch at the University at Albany. "Being part of the team is the biggest thing, and that's something people don't understand."
Austin has looked good in training camp but he knows he has to produce, especially with defensive tackle Chris Canty sidelined following knee surgery.
"A lot of people want to see what I can do on the field and I have to go out there and prove I can play at this level," said Austin, who did most of his rehabilitation at the team's headquarters in New Jersey.
Austin's first game will be against Jacksonville on Friday night, which brings us back to the hair.
"This is a new beginning for me," he said. "I want to help the organization the best I can, and I was getting tired of the old hairdo .It was a lot of things that came with the old hair and this is a new lease on life."
Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has started running pass patterns, but coach Tom Coughlin doesn't expect him to practice for at least another week. Nicks broke his foot during organized team activities this spring and has been placed on the physically unable to perform list. He had been running straight ahead for a while and he ran in circles on Monday to see how his foot felt.
The four-year veteran isn't worried about whether he plays in the preseason. He hopes to make the season opener against Dallas Sept. 5.
"My main concern is making sure that when I do step on the field that I'm healthy, and I'm 100 percent," he said. "That's our whole focus right now — need to make sure we're taking the right steps to make it that way."
Giants fans, are you excited for Austin's first healthy season? Sound off in the comments below…

Coltautos.com Gun of the Month - July 2001
Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless .32 ACP
Serial number 143661 Factory Inscribed
"Presented to Tom Word, Jr. Portland, OR.
By H.W.H. M.D. 1913"
Colt Model M serial number 143661 - A single gun shipment January 28, 1913 to Honeyman Hardware Co., Portland, Oregon.
This pistol features a factory inscription on the left side of the frame that was so long, it required the serial number to be relocated just above the front of the left grip. It is also fitted with special order smooth factory walnut grips:
Presented to Tom Word, Jr. Portland, Or.
By H.W.H. M.D. 1913
This pistol is actually related to the June 2001 Gun of the Month as the initials "H.W.H. M.D." belong to Herbert W. Hegele, M.D. of Portland Oregon. Presumably this Colt pistol was presented to Tom Word upon his election for a second term to the office of Sheriff of Multnomah County, by Dr. Hegele who at the time was a Deputy Sheriff.
Tom Word, Jr. served as Sheriff of Multnomah County in Portland, Oregon for two non-successive terms. He was elected to a two-year term as Sheriff of Multnomah County from 1904 to 1906. He came back later and was elected to another two-year term from 1913 to 1915. The beginning of his second term corresponds with the the year of presentation in the inscription. After leaving the Multnomah County Sheriff s Office, Word went on to become a United States Special Agent.

Today, I'm excited to announce that we have acquired Pirate Forms, a popular WordPress contact form and SMTP plugin, with over 300,000 active installs.
Pirate Forms was created by ThemeIsle, the company behind popular WordPress themes Zerif and Hestia. They built the plugin in 2015 to add a simple contact form solution to their fast-growing themes. At the time, most WordPress form plugins were not beginner-friendly.
That's why in 2016, we launched WPForms with a single mission: create the most beginner friendly WordPress form plugin in the market.
Since then, WPForms has passed over 1 million active installs and has an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 (with over 2400 five-star ratings).
I have met Ionut (ThemeIsle founder) at numerous business conferences, and we always talked about increasing collaboration between our two companies. We both put user experience as our #1 priority and have a lot of similar philosophies regarding the WordPress product ecosystem. In his recent visit to United States and Awesome Motive HQ, we furthered our discussion on ways to work together and shared our respective growth plans for our companies.
During our conversations, we both agreed that WPForms offers a more powerful and user-friendly WordPress form builder experience, and it meets all the requirements for ThemeIsle themes.
The more we talked, the more it made sense for WPForms to acquire Pirate Forms, and for our two companies to work together in bringing the best user experience to the WordPress community at large.
This brings us up to date with today's announcement. WPForms has officially acquired the Pirate Forms plugin in an all-cash deal.
What does this mean for Pirate Forms Users?
This acquisition means that Pirate Form users will now have access to a modern form builder and powerful form features with WPForms.
Previously, Pirate Forms free version limited users to creating a single contact form. Users had to upgrade to the Pro version for unlocking the ability to create more forms.
WPForms Lite allows you to create unlimited forms for free, and it comes with a more modern form builder along with powerful features.
We have created an easy two-step migration process for Pirate Form users to switch to WPForms. This will make it seamless for you to move all your forms and settings with just a few clicks.
If you're a Pirate Forms Pro user, then you will get a complimentary one-year free license to WPForms Pro which comes with all features including payment integrations, email marketing integrations, surveys & polls addon, and tons more. You should be receiving an email from ThemeIsle regarding this shortly.
As part of this acquisition, we're retiring the Pirate Forms plugin in favor of the more powerful WPForms plugin. This means that there will be no new feature updates. We will continue to maintain the Pirate Forms plugin for any major security issues for the next 6 months.
We strongly encourage all users to use our easy importer and switch to WPForms to unlock more powerful features (for free). With the new Pirate Forms update, you will see a notice in your Dashboard to migrate to WPForms.
Clicking on the Migrate to WPForms button will bring you to our two step migration wizard. The process is fairly easy after that. Just like everything else with WPForms, we labored for simplicity here to ensure the most seamless transition.
For more detailed instructions, please see our documentation on How to Migrate from Pirate Forms to WPForms.
What does this mean for ThemeIsle Theme users?
All ThemeIsle themes including Hestia and Zerif are now 100% compatible with WPForms. If you purchased one of ThemeIsle's bundled packages that came with Pirate Forms Pro, then you're also eligible to receive a free one-year license of WPForms Pro.
ThemeIsle will be reaching out to you separately via email.
Important: Just so there are no confusions, we only acquired the Pirate Forms plugin from ThemeIsle (not the ThemeIsle company).
What does this mean for WPForms users?
This acquisition further strengthens WPForms position in the WordPress ecosystem. We would not be here without the support of our loyal customers, and I want to thank you for your continued support and trust in us.
We have a lot of exciting new features in the works that we are planning on releasing in the upcoming weeks. In case you missed it, last week we announced the release the most requested Stripe Recurring payments feature for WordPress. The week prior to that, we released a brand new Gutenberg block, conditional form confirmations, new NPS survey templates, and more.
Thanks once again for your continued support of WPForms, and we look forward to helping you create better online forms!
It's still going to be free to use after migrating?
When you run the migration tool, you'll be provided the option to upgrade to one of our paid licenses if you'd like — otherwise our free version will be installed for you automatically. In case it helps, here's our tutorial on the migration process.
I got a notice today stating: "Pirate Forms is now part of the WPForms Family". So, if I do, is it going to break my existing reg form? I cannot afford it to be broken and down.
That's definitely understandable. I'd recommend keeping the Pirate Forms plugin active while you finalize the migration (move forms to WPForms, test those forms out, etc). That way, your users can continue using your current form(s) while you get everything set up.
And if you have any additional questions about this process, please feel welcome to reach out! We'd like to help make the transition as smooth as possible for you.

Self-Promoters Should Avoid Humblebragging — It's Insincere
Self-promoters should avoid humblebragging, lest they want to come off as inauthentic and obnoxious.
Natalie Shoemaker
Copy a link to the article entitled http://Self-Promoters%20Should%20Avoid%20Humblebragging%20—%20It's%20Insincere
Share Self-Promoters Should Avoid Humblebragging — It's Insincere on Facebook

Share Self-Promoters Should Avoid Humblebragging — It's Insincere on LinkedIn
Humblebragging is an annoying form of self-promotion — it's obnoxious and comes off as insincere. In case you're not familiar, it's a thinly disguised form of boasting that's framed as a complaint. Example: I'm so tired of people telling me how good I look in these shorts. Melissa Dahl from NYMag writes that "hubblebraggarts" aren't fooling anyone by sounding tired of getting compliments, and according to a recent study by Ovul Sezer, Francesca Gino, and Michael I. Norton, you're better off just regular-bragging in order to get ahead.
That's right: These researchers tested humblebragging and its effectiveness across five experiments, writing that "humblebragging is less effective than simply complaining, because complainers are at least seen as sincere. Despite people's belief that combining bragging and complaining confers the benefits of both self-promotion strategies, humblebragging fails to pay off."
In one experiment, researchers sought to find out if humblebragging proved to be a more or less effective way to get one's point across compared to straightforward bragging. The researchers had 201 participants read either a brag stating, "I get hit on all the time," or a humblebrag: "Just rolled out of bed and still get hit on all the time, so annoying."
The participants were then asked to rate how attractive they thought the person behind the statement was. The humblebraggers were rated as less attractive than the braggers, though, not by much. The humblebraggers received a 4.34 out of a possible 7, while the braggers received a 4.91.
In another experiment, the researchers wanted to test the likability of the humblebragger. So, they asked a group of 302 participants to imagine a person saying one of three statements: a complaint ("I am so bored"), a brag ("People mistake me for a model"), or a humblebrag ("I am so bored of people mistaking me for a model"). Based on this one statement, participants were asked to rate how much they liked this person and how sincere they thought they were.
From most liked to least, participants rated the complainer as the most likable, then the bragger, and lastly, the humblebragger. The participants rated the statements in the same order for sincerity, as well. It shouldn't be a big surprise to hear that humblebragging comes off as inauthentic — it's just now we have the research to prove it.
People may resort to humblebragging as a way to get ahead in business — after all, studies show modesty won't help move your personal brand forward. So, self-promotion is key to getting noticed in the office, but researchers write that "would-be self-promoters should choose [bragging] — and at least reap the rewards of seeming sincere."
Take Barbara Corcoran, in her Big Think interview, she talks about how she was able to get more money out of her company by making sure she worked at building her brand. Hard work helps pay the bills, but it's your personal brand that sends you above and beyond:

Twitter 'Buy Now' button temporarily appears in several tweets
By Himanshu Arora on July 1, 2014, 9:30
Looks like shopping via tweets will soon be possible within the popular micro-blogging service after a new Buy Now button appeared on several tweets yesterday. Re/code was first to spot the button, but reported that nothing happened when it was clicked. A tipster told the tech news site that earlier in the day the tweets linked back to a shopping site called Fancy, the same website that accidentally revealed Twitter's e-commerce plans earlier.
The new button, which appeared in both the Timeline and expanded-tweet views, was only visible in Twitter's official mobile app and not on the service's web version or third party Twitter clients.
As Twitter and Fancy remain tight-lipped on the matter, it's unclear whether this was a deliberate move or yet another accidental leak from the shopping website. The tweets no longer appear in the same form now.
Whatever the case may be it appears the 'Buy Now' button has made it far enough to become yet another Twitter experiment. If and when the button will become a regular feature is another question, as Twitter has a history of shelving experimental features.
Until now, Twitter has relied on sponsored tweets, essentially advertising, to make money. But back in April, a Wall Street Journal report claimed that multiple ad products and improved ways to target users are on the way for the micro blogging service.

Could Australia be your next export market?
By the end of 2021, the Australian economy is expected to grow by 4.5% and the 2022 projection is 2.8%. Until 2020, Australia had 28 years of consecutive annual economic growth and recovered sharply from the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK is Australia's second greatest FDI contributor, investing £374.3B in 2019 – a 17.5% increase from 2018. The
strengthening of economic relations continues to accelerate through negotiations for the Australia-United Kingdom FTA, which began in June 2020. At present, it is estimated there is over USD$2.6bn2 worth of untapped export growth potential for British companies, and some key opportunities lie across mining, healthcare, machinery, infrastructure, financial services, ecommerce, fintech, tech & cyber security3. The North West and Greater Manchester have strong expertise in these sectors and offer great innovation.
Australia continues to proactively support its economy through COVID-19. In March 2021, the Australian Government added £61.5m to 2020's £132m commitment to the International Freight Assistance Mechanism (IFAM), a fund set up to help keep international freight routes operating until September 2021. IFAM currently prioritises medical supplies, medicines, and equipment for COVID-19 health responses, on inbound flight schedules to Australia.
Australia's mining and agriculture competitivity requires industrial machinery and technical expertise that is often sourced internationally. There is ongoing investment in the mining sector with two of Australia's largest lithium miners merging - they are expected to supply 10% of worldwide demand to meet growth in areas such as electric vehicles. Others are spending up to £44.2m on mining expansion. Agriculturally, 95% of equipment and machinery is imported.
Australia meets Asia's great food demand, however innovations across all aspects of production and supply chains are required. International suppliers provide high-tech goods, electronics, industrial tools, equipment, and machinery. Australian companies are eager for new products and solutions in robotics, automation, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance. Furthermore, the space sector has been identified as a National Manufacturing Priority Area. Australia is a major purchaser of aircraft and spacecraft parts, accessories and services in aerospace and the military.
A key growth industry is healthcare as the aged population is expected to double by 2057. Australia's need in health-related infrastructure, equipment and upgrades is reflected in the newly announced £274.4b spend towards health over the next four years, £9.7b of which is specifically for aged care.
Other major opportunities recently announced in The Federal Budget 2021:
£1b for vaccines
£82m for COVID-related health services
£1.12b for aviation, tourism, the arts, and international education providers
£8.2b for additional infrastructure commitments
£65m for the Digital Economy Strategy
£82m for manufacturing expansion and job creation across six priority areas, including medical products and clean energy
£1.1b in R&D tax incentives (Modern Manufacturing Strategy)
£87m for priority technologies, including clean hydrogen and energy storage
£147.3b over 10 years for defence capabilities
£122.8m for brewer and distiller tax relief (Excise Refund Scheme)
£20.4m over 3 years for initiatives in trade system modernisation.
The Australian Government is evidently spending substantially to boost economic growth. Greater Manchester companies with capabilities in the sectors mentioned in this article should consider Australia as an attractive market in the short and medium term.

Game of Thrones' Miguel Sapochnik steps down from House of the Dragon series to take on new HBO projects
Miguel Sapochnik: "Working within the Thrones universe for the past few years has been an honor and a privilege"
By Neve Wilkinson
1st Sep 2022, 2:38pm
Miguel Sapochnik is stepping down as co-showrunner on the recently launched House of the Dragon series.
This comes after three years spent working on the HBO fantasy series, following his directorial success on Game of Thrones between 2015 and 2019.
However, Miguel is not completely departing from HBO as he is set to take on new projects.
The director, who has won two Primetime Emmy awards, released a statement regarding his departure.
"Working within the Thrones universe for the past few years has been an honor and a privilege, especially spending the last two with the amazing cast and crew of House of the Dragon," Miguel said.

"I am so proud of what we accomplished with season 1 and overjoyed by the enthusiastic reaction of our viewers.
"It was incredibly tough to decide to move on, but I know that it is the right choice for me, personally and professionally.

BIG BANG SOUND DESIGN HITS EVERY PITCH
WAYNE PASHLEY AND LIBBY VILLA FROM BIG BANG SOUND DESIGN IN SYDNEY HAD A CHAT TO THE AUSFILM TEAM ABOUT THEIR WORK FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST PRODUCTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND WHAT THEIR STUDIO SPACE CAN OFFER:
How many staff are usually here?
L: It varies from project to project really. We are doing a small budget Australian film at the moment so there's only 6 of us – but on Fury Road we had about 19, so it does vary project to project. L
Which was the biggest project you worked on?
W: It would have to be Fury Road, it was definitely the biggest.
L: Happy Feet was also pretty big because of the adlib nature of it.
W: Plus all the mocap. Nearly everyday we had a recording crew recording tap dancing, so we had an extension of the crew there, and also editors working with the Director, George Miller on a daily basis, so that was probably a similar size.
L: And we had six court transcribers here transcribing every word that was recorded during mammoth dialogue recording sessions. Robin Williams tends to go off book.
How do you meet challenges, and really tight deadlines? We guess that probably happens every day when you're working on a film?
W: What we tend to do is look at the budget, what we've got for the sound post, and what works well for us is to keep everyone gainfully employed. So if we've only got six weeks to do something, let's take three of the best in the business – because our team is exceptional and it's better for us let's split the work between three people – so give them just two weeks each, but what they manage in two weeks is incredible. You're splitting the intelligence and the scholarship of those three people across the film, so you're getting more input. Instead of one person for six weeks, we like to split it up – it shares the wealth, and I like the idea that the more brains across something, the better the product.
I understand Big Bang Sound has a very big sound library. How large is it? How can you quantify that?
W: We're currently at seven terabytes. It goes back to the beginning of when we first started in sound, which was at the ABC, back in 1984. That was a time when the ABC was making all of those big miniseries. All of that material has been archived and is on our digital platform. So it goes back many, many years now – 30 odd years. Every film that we do, we spend the time afterwards archiving material. When I retire, there will be something for the sound and film archives!
L: The library has all the recordings from Babe to Happy Feet, with all the ice and snow, to all the Mad Max cars, and all the Lego sounds. For Great Gatsby, Wayne went to LA and recorded the sound of a Duesenberg… there's only a couple in the world still running and J Leno owns one of them, which he allowed us to record. These sounds don't exist anywhere else except in our library.
W:When it came to Fury Road, I spoke to Director, George Miller and Producer, Doug Mitchell, and as a homage to Byron Kennedy, we went back through the Mad Max archives that Kennedy Miller had, and found all the original sound material, the Interceptor car, everything from the original vehicles to Mel Gibson's leather jacket on that first film, and we've now archived all that onto a digital platform, which will hopefully protect it for the future.
We also snuck all that into Fury Road as well, as a homage to Byron Kennedy!
How many different productions can you work on at the same time?
W: I would say three, comfortably. Sometimes we've gone three plus a few small things, like documentaries, or short films but generally speaking, anything more than that you're spread too thin and you're not giving each production its due consideration.
L: Depending on the size of the production. If you're on something like Fury Road, there's not much else we do on the side.
W: We also like to give the filmmakers at Big Bang a space to call their own. If you're working on the Water Diviner and you've got Russel Crowe in the building, it's kind of his. Same with Gods of Egypt, with Alex Proyas. It works well to keep it very personal, and it's a place of peace and creativity in order for them to do their work. So if you had too much going on at any given time it becomes very distracting.
How many suites does your facility have?
W: We have 19 here, aside from the open areas. Plus 3 mixing rooms and ADR and Foley recording.
What would you say is Big Bang Sound's greatest strength?
W: The crew.
L: The crew!
W: Without question. We've worked with these people, some for 30 years. I'd say the crew because when we design a movie, it's all in. We share the creation of it. Because we've been together for so long we have a shorthand of ideas, and taste becomes a factor. It makes us move more quickly, and you know whatever the idea is, it's going to be good.
L: You know without stating it, that everyone is on the same page. It means there's less going over things because everybody understands what everybody else likes.
W: Storytelling with sound or any other discipline, is about human experience. So when everyone is in it together, there's a cohesive thought across the plan. I would say without question, it's got nothing to do with equipment.
L: No, and that's why it's important to have a building like this. These days a lot of people work from home, but our crew like to come here, because they like to be together, where over the lunch table you're still discussing what you're going to do for the film, as well as telling stories and connecting. It's just a nice, creative workspace to be.
Rather than having people off in their garages where they hardly ever see anyone and you're just sort of phoning in your work a little bit. Here you get to have a cup of tea, and a chat about work and life. You can walk into the room next door if you need to discuss an idea or a problem, and it is so pleasant. I guess for these guys it's why they're still working for us after 30 years – because they enjoy coming into work, they enjoy working with each other, and they enjoy creating together.
W: It's the collaboration. That's not to say that it has nothing to do with equipment – it is obviously very important, so we are constantly updating to the latest platform – but I would say that our people are our greatest strength. These days its becoming a sort of unique thing to have a sound studio, and some people might say you're mad to do it – and quite often we debate it amongst ourselves – would we be better off having satellites everywhere and everyone goes into their bedrooms? Our crew definitely says no! We are dedicated to keeping the doors open, and having a creative hub that is purely focussed on the creation of soundtracks for film and television.

Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you! (Luke 1:28).
Mary consented, and her world would never be the same.
She was favored, indeed. Favored to carry the Christ, to bring into the world the Light of the world. It's right that we should honor her, but we also would do well to humanize her.
It's right that we should honor Mary, but we also would do well to humanize her.
Being the favored one wasn't only an invitation to honor the Savior, but to suffer for his sake. Mary was given a task and a promise, one that would mean a lifetime of wrestling for faith in what was coming, but currently unseen.
Every Advent, I write a poem to keep my heart from sentimentalizing the Christmas season. This year, my heart has been stuck on the greeting "O favored one," a simple phrase that explains what must have been a profoundly complex journey for the mother of our Lord.
He sought her permission, She replied in submission; Scared yet sacred mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
When she should be resting, Herod her strength was testing; Enduring, expectant mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
She held him to her shoulder As the desert wind grew colder; Exhausted, exhilarated mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
He whimpered in the night, As they fled another plight; Fleeing, fearful mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
Simeon held him in devotion, Uttering words of mixed emotion; Devoted, doting mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
Certain she'd lost the Savior, Her son of strange behavior; Frantic, searching mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
She watched him leave home, His time had come to roam; Saddened, sending mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
As they bragged about the healing, She saw a coming cup of reeling; Protective, pensive mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
Her son was lifted on a cross, Words cannot capture her loss; Speechless, suffering mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
Joy deeper than sorrow's woes, Pulsed in her when he arose; Dancing, delighted mother: Full of favor, fraught with fear.
He is full of favor; We've no need to fear.
I'm so thankful for Mary's example of living as a favored one. As a human, she sought to obey and trust God; in so doing, she brought the ultimate Favored One into the world, the only perfectly obedient One in whom both she and we trust.
I'm so thankful for Mary's example of living as a favored one.
As we continue in this Advent season, remember that as adopted children of God, we've been granted a position of incredible favor. Yet as we learn from Mary's own life, being favored doesn't exempt us from confusion, pain, suffering, and grief. Rather, being the favored of God—through being united with his "favorite" Son, Jesus—invites us into a lifetime of walking by faith and not by sight.
May we live as the favored ones this Advent season by his Spirit.
