The State Department approved a trio of foreign military sales cases today, including an F-16 fighter aircraft sale to Slovakia and a CH-47 cargo helicopter purchase for Spain.
The approved sale to Slovakia is estimated to cost $2.9 billion and would include 14 F-16 Block 70/72 V configuration aircraft and associated equipment, as well as 30 AIM-120C7 air-to-air missiles, 100 AIM-9X air-to-air missiles, 150 guidance kits for Joint Direct Attack Munition bombs, 400 MK-82 or BLU-111 500-pound bomb bodies and 400 fuzes, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
"Slovakia intends for these aircraft to replace its current fleet of MiG-29s," DSCA states. "Slovakia's current fighters are not interoperable with U.S. forces or regional allies. Purchase of the F-16V will provide Slovakia with fourth generation fighter aircraft capability that is interoperable with the United States and NATO."
Meanwhile, the sale to Spain is estimated at $1.3 billion involving 17 CH-47F cargo helicopters and a host of associated parts and mission equipment, according to DSCA.
"The proposed sale of the CH-47F aircraft will improve Spain's heavy lift capability," the agency said. "Spain will use this enhanced capability to strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional threats. Spain will have no difficulty absorbing these aircraft into its armed forces."
The State Department also approved today a possible sale of MQ-9 Reaper contractor logistics support to the United Kingdom, according to DSCA. The sale is estimated to cost $500 million.

Giant snowballs appear in Siberia+ video!
A strange and beautiful sight greeted locals in the Gulf of Ob, in northwest Siberia, after thousands of natural snowballs formed on the beach.
In Russia, Siberia an 18km stretch of coast was covered in the icy spheres. Why?
The sculptural shapes range from the size of a tennis ball to almost 1m (3ft) across.
They result from a rare environmental process where small pieces of ice form, are rolled by wind and water, and end up as giant snowballs.
Locals in the village of Nyda, which lies on the Yamal Peninsula just above the Arctic Circle, say they have never seen anything to compare to them.
Russian TV quoted an explanation from Sergei Lisenkov, press secretary of theArctic and Antarctic Research Institute:
"As a rule, first there is a primary natural phenomenon - sludge ice, slob ice. Then comes a combination of the effects of the wind, the lay of the coastline, and the temperature and wind conditions.

Gwar member 'rips head off man' in TED Talk – watch
Luke Morgan Britton Aug 10, 2015 12:37 pm BST
Frontman of the shock-rock band discusses regional identity and music in online lecture
Gwar bassist and lead vocalist Michael 'Blothar' Bishop recently delivered a TED Talk on regional identity and music.
The musician, also an academic at the University of Virginia, became frontman of the shock-rock band in August 2014 following the death of founding member Dave Brockie.
During Bishop's TED Talk, a series of video lectures focussing on engaging ideas, he discusses the band's connection to Richmond, Virginia and how the city's history has played a part in the group's music.
Bishop also enters the stage in full Gwar costume and skins the head of a man wearing a papier-mâché mask. Watch below.
Meanwhile, former Gwar member Vulvatron recently denied media reports that she was fired from the band for drinking too much.
The musician – real name Kim Dylla – was brought in as a member of Gwar in 2014 after Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus, died of a heroin overdose.
"Yes, I drink beer. Almost every day. Find me a group of metal musicians who think that is weird," Dylla wrote in a statement.
"No, I don't perform incapacitated and never have. Yes, I can handle my shit. No, I don't do drugs. Yes, I broke my rib and kept singing through the rest of the set and the crowd never noticed. No, I didn't break it because I was drunk, I broke it because I elbow dropped the wrong part of the Mr Perfect costume trying to put on a good show."
She added: "It sucks that this had to turn into a media shitstorm but when people say things about you publicly that you honestly had no idea were going on, it's going to be expected you want to say something back. Anyway, never get famous – it sucks. I only just wanted to play music. If you have a serious band and would like to play some music, hit me up."

How wonderful the labrador is back, wagging its tail happily as it walks beside its master Robert, Lord Grantham as they approach Downton Abbey, that marvellous old Victorian pile set in the English countryside. Episode 2 of Series 3 reveals that Matthew's eyes have been opened in more ways than one following his marriage to Mary in Downton village last week. Well that's what our British correspondent reports, after finally recovering from the wedding event, which dominated episode one of everyone's favourite historical grand soap opera of the modern kind. So please, don't read any further if you want to salivate yourself over the joys of Season Three as it progresses.
Its talented writer Julian Fellowes, seems once again to have re-established the pace and momentum he so successfully employed in Series One. Episode 2 starts with Matthew and Mary arriving home in a flash new sports car with the top down, very racy. Being married has many advantages, because at last they can share and wake up in the same bed, rather than for the sake of the servants, Matthew creeping away in the early hours to be found in the morning in his 'dressing room'. When they come downstairs it is to find that Cora's mother from America, 'she who would prefer not to be obeyed' Martha Levinson is still in residence. Lord Grantham and his mother Violet spend much of the episode trying to work out how to tactfully ask her, or suggest to her that she should go home. Her presence must be causing at least some of their new money strains, although the Downton women certainly aren't much help when it comes to minding the budget.
'Nothing succeeds like excess' says Dowager Violet to Mary quoting a contemporary of her time Irish writer and poet 'Oscar Wilde', as she views the fabulous table Mary has had set up for the all White Tie dinner party she is giving. She is endeavouring to 'save Downton' from being sold by appealing to her American Grandmother Martha, whom we all know based on her clothes and jewels is loaded, to save it. 'Perhaps it would be a better choice to adapt Robert, rather than to face extinction' observes Martha to Robert, Lord Grantham, as she tells him privately that while she is aware of his plight she is very sorry that she cannot rescue him from the financial wilderness he now finds himself in.
Adapting seems something they all have to do whether upstairs or down, as the kitchen oven gives out as the guests are arriving for Mary's very posh white tie entertainment. But its Martha to the rescue. She rescues them all from an immediate disaster by taking charge of the servants. She asks them to gather up all their 'cold cuts' and arranges an impromptu picnic indoors for their guests, Downton style.
The guests are not shocked at all, but excited by such a prospect, anything to spare them from the predictability of the formal dinner parties of their day. It turns out to be a great success, despite Lord Grantham and Matthew his heir turning up in 'black' not 'white' tie after both suffer wardrobe malfunctions at the hands of their valets.
What will happen to all those we have grown so fond of upstairs and down as the loss of Downton Abbey and the reality that moving to a new establishment is definitely on the cards. What a prospect. And what about us viewers, how will we all cope if they move out of that fabulous pile and 'downsize'.
'I need a drink' says the Dowager Duchess, thinking that her son Lord Robert is a waiter in his 'black tie'. However she soon has more to contend with as Martha bursts into song, singing the 1910 number that later the first world war made popular. "Let Me Call you Sweetheart", as she kick starts a singalong.
This is a first for Downton Abbey and its inhabitants upstairs and down based on all the shocked looks on their faces. Just wonderful, although the look on Dowager Duchess Violet's face perhaps best says it all.
There is so much going on at Downton, much unrest below stairs and huge changes upstairs as well. Our favourite plotting Valet Thomas faces possible extinction when all Lord Grantham's dinner shirts are 'lost'. But are they?
He's been so nasty to Sarah O'Brien's nephew, the dishy Thomas who has joined the staff, perhaps Sarah has had a hand in it?
Daisy doesn't look too pleased either to see Thomas kissing Martha's maid. Those 'fast' American girls are a bit of a puzzle for her, while he looks nothing but pleased.
Anna is visiting Bates in prison again, but things are not looking so rosy there either. His new cell mate poses a threat or does he?
Has Bates got his measure and will Anna's faith in him be shaken soon?
But wait, who is that girl that Lady Mary Crawley recognizes at the Young Women's Shelter where she is investing her time to help girls and women in distress to have a better life. Could she be Lord Granthan's former mistress? And what is the secret she seems to be hiding? What, if any impact will that have at Downton?
And how about Mrs Hughes, she was very quiet last week you will remember I noted her lack of input, well it appears that she just may have a terminal illness. She and Mrs Patmore share some special moments together here proving that camaraderie does exist downstairs.
Throughout all that's happening Dame Violet and Lord Grantham are busy plotting together in order to secure Edith's happiness by asking the lovely Sir Anthony Strallan, whose just as fond of Edith as she is of him, to give up his daughter.
Instead they cause her a great deal of misery and she turns to Martha for help, who while empathizing also understands Lord Grantham's hesitancy for his daughter to marry someone 25 years older than she is, despite the fact that they have so much in common and seem so eminently suited.
'Every young man I grew up with is dead'… says Edith woefully, the war has certainly taken its toll on everyone. So Martha questions his motifs.
Age is merely a number, you feel like shouting out. But good old Edith, she is determined to live her life under her own terms and finally secures her own happiness. In Episode 3 it seems we will have yet another village wedding to attend. Hoorah !
'Three daughters married', Lord Grantham should be feeling very pleased with himself.
I for one hope that Martha lingers longer, she's such a wonderful addition to the cast of this marvellous series.
She's very avante garde, and a perfect foil for all that English stuffiness that was a hallmark of the Edwardian age. But this is 1920 and times are moving fast and a'changing as she warns them all. Adapting to change is the name of the game if it is to be the survival of the fittest.
Mrs Hughes and Carson both reminisce following the successful end to Mary's evening, despite all the dramas that have occurred downstairs. He's worried that they are staring into the 'chaos of Gommorrah'.

Consumer Experience Marketing: Don't Be Late for the Party—Holiday Planning Starts Now!
With the kids back in school and the final days of summer upon us, it can only mean one thing—time to start planning for the holidays! "Wait! What happened to fall?" you might be thinking. We know, it seems early. But an early start can mean the difference between using the same-old, ho-hum "ho ho ho" banners from last year and developing a truly unique and differentiated event that surprises and delights customers—and keeps them coming back long after the holidays are over.
"Putting together an in-store holiday event typically takes anywhere from six to eight weeks," says Ryan Dee, Creative Director for Daymon's consumer experience marketing team. "But more sophisticated events can take even longer. So it's always best start the process sooner rather than later."
The winter holiday season, generally defined as the months of November and December, accounts for nearly 20 percent of annual retail industry sales in the United States, according to the National Retail Federation. With an estimated $800 billion at stake, it's clearly in retailers' and brands' best interests to do all they can to help set themselves apart from the competition.
"With digital and online retailing encroaching more and more, retailers really need to step up their game and make their stores a destination," says Dee. "Everyone's going to do their holiday circulars and have specials on turkey and ham. To set yourself apart, you have to provide an experience that's different."
One effective tactic Dee recommends is targeting more non-traditional holidays, in addition to the "core" Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah celebrations. "For example, Friendsgiving is a holiday that's gained more and more traction as an alternative or in addition to Thanksgiving," says Dee. "Then there's Festivus—a kind of 'anti-Christmas' celebration that started with the popular TV show Seinfeld but has now actually become a holiday people celebrate. Hosting in-store events and advertising around these more avant-garde celebrations can be a bold way for a retailer to differentiate."
For retailers and brands who prefer to stick to the more tried-and-true celebrations, Dee suggests expanding upon the usual promotions by looking at new categories to capitalize on. "Pet ownership and spending is at all-time high, so it makes perfect sense to do something around the holidays to celebrate pets as well," he says. "For example, a grocery retailer could have a pet stocking station for shoppers to put together gifts for their fur babies using items found in the store. This can give shoppers a new reason to come into the store and showcase the variety or products the retailer offers."
Those with bigger budgets looking to truly make an impression might consider tapping into technology to elevate the in-store experience. "For a pretty small footprint in the store, you can create a pretty impressive branded virtual reality experience flying Santa's sleigh," says Dee. "Or say you don't have the space to do a traditional photo activation—you could set up a selfie station and use augmented reality to let shoppers take selfies with an augmented reality Santa and his elves." This could be tied with social media activations, like sweepstakes and photo contests, which Dee says further drive engagement and ultimately store traffic.

Perry Norris(L) of the Truckee Donner Land Trust and Sam Hodder of the Trust for Public Land walk through Norden Meadow Friday August 3rd, 2012 The Trust for Public Land secured a deal to buy 3,000 acres at Donner Summit saving it from a 950-home development.
The granite peaks and wildflower-laden meadows of Donner Summit have been saved from development and soon will be open to the public for the first time in decades, conservation groups will announce Monday.
The Trust for Public Land and Truckee Donner Land Trust reached an agreement last week with a court-appointed negotiator to purchase the 3,000-acre Royal Gorge property at Donner Summit after a proposed 950-home development at the site slipped into foreclosure.
"This is the most important conservation acquisition in the Sierra Nevada in a generation," said Tom Mooers, director of Sierra Watch, a nonprofit in Nevada City. "Some people call it the most important square mile in the American West. It's that important."
The land trusts agreed to buy the property for $13.5 million seven years after a developer bought it for $30 million in hopes of building homes, lodges and other resort amenities at the 7,230-foot-elevation property just south of Interstate 80 near Donner Pass Road.
The groups arranged with Sugar Bowl to take over the Royal Gorge ski area, the largest cross-country ski resort in North America, which has remained open throughout the negotiations.
The property may have been in private hands the past few decades, but for millennia it was a major passageway for travelers in the area. Its gentle slopes and relatively low elevation made Donner Summit the perfect spot to cross the craggy peaks and thick forests of the Sierra.
The Maidu and Washoe Indians used Donner Summit as a trading hub, while emigrants - most notably the ill-fated Donner Party - flocked to the summit in search of the California dream.
The transcontinental railroad and later Interstate 80 also traversed Donner Summit, helping open California economically and culturally to the world.
"This passage has played a more critical historic role than any other stretch of acreage in California," said Sam Hodder, state director for the Trust for Public Land, which is based in San Francisco.
The property is also sacred ground for environmentalists because of its variety of sensitive habitat, from summer wetlands to dense fir and pine forests. Van Norden Meadow alone hosts more than 150 species of butterflies, 16 amphibians, 100 birds, plus several endangered species, said John Cobourn, a hydrologist at University of Nevada-Reno who leads hikes in the area.
The Yuba, Truckee and north fork of the American rivers all trace their headwaters to the property, providing sustenance for a wide array of wildlife, he said.
Black bears, bald eagles, martens and other species thrive in the area, and the grassy meadows are kaleidoscopes of lupine, buttercups, larkspur and tiger lilies, he said.
"It's thrilling to me that future generations will be able to see Donner Summit pretty much unchanged since the Ice Age," Cobourn said. "We've all been very concerned it would end up urbanized."
The property abuts thousands of acres of federal forest land, providing extensive corridors for wildlife.
The land trusts still need to raise several million dollars to complete the purchase. Their deadline is Dec. 20, but leaders are confident they can meet the goal. They'll be asking public agencies, foundations, nonprofits and the public to help.
"People interested in saving this place have been waiting so long. I know this will come together," Hodder said. "This is the brass ring. This is the prize."

I have installed both express and xml2js using npm. I have the exact same version (v0.4.0) for node on my machine and my server.
So what is wrong? I have the right path, the module is there. Why can't node find it? And the exact same code runs smoothly on my local machine. If it matters, my machine is a Mac, and the server runs CentOS.
Node 0.4 changed how modules are resolved and it appears that this breaks xml2js.
Try installing it in the project instead of the global package directory.
If you're using a package.json to manage dependancies then you can just run npm bundle in the project directory and then add require.paths.unshift('./node_modules') at the top of your app file. In my opinion this is the best practice for all projects (especially considering the speed that the development of node takes place).
I guess the simple answer is the current packages for xml2js and xml2js-xpat are busted.
I ended up using node-xml instead. I wish xml2js hadn't been my the first npm module I tried to install.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged linux node.js include or ask your own question.


Power Core Aeration is one of the most important cultural practices available for your lawn. Aeration helps control thatch, improves the soil structure, helps create growth pockets for new roots, and open the way for water and fertilizer to reach the root zone of your lawn.
Aeration works by removing thousands of small cores of soil 1-3" in length from your lawn. These cores "melt" back into the lawn after a few rainfalls, mixing with whatever thatch exists your lawn. The holes created by aeration catch fertilizer and water. Turf roots naturally grow toward these growth pockets and thicken in the process. Aeration relieve the pressure from compacted soils, letting oxygen and water move more freely into the root zone.
Dethatching make thatch on your lawn works like a thatched roof. This layer of roots, stems and other plant parts sheds water and prevents fertilizers and insect controls from moving freely into the soil.
Thatch that is too heavy can make major lawn renovation necessary. Our power rake can dethatch your lawn and together with aerating, can significantly improve turf growth.


Well if you couldnt guess this one but Slipknot for me then id say Blue October as second.
That's a good question............. I would have to say Daft Punk or Threes Days Grace or Pendulum just so hard to choose!
Hell yeah but Pendulum is an awesome drum and bass group.

Pastor Steven Anderson- A litany of Hypocrisy over Free Speech
Admin / September 22, 2016 /	61
Pastor Steven Anderson has arrived in Botswana, opened a church and is preaching his homophobic rhetoric based on his interpretations of biblical script. The Botswana Government has allowed his entry and one would assume she issued him work permits to conduct his church.
It may be divine coincidence therefore that the same week has been marked by a controversial likeness to the President photo shopped in a "mankini" made famous by actor Sacha Baron Cohen's parodic character "Borat", standing outside of parliament. The image that was condemned in some quarters as being "disrespectful" to the President and contrary to the vagaries of cultural practices and norms- resulted in the arrest and detention of Maun resident Kealeboga Chimbganda and the suspension of Yarona FM's acting Editor Kaombona Kanani for reposting the image for commentary.
The image, regardless of whether one agrees with it, portrays a political commentary a satire (again the issue is not whether this was done well or badly). It breaks no national laws and is protected by the Freedom of Expression provisions of the Constitution. In spite of such protection security agents have been swift to act and curtail the freedom of speech of those involved. The premise being that the image violates against provisions of the Penal Code. It does not. The justification for the arrest has descended into the realm of "public morality".
Pastor Steven Anderson, who openly advocates for the execution of homosexuals by a "righteous" government, espouses a position that resonates with the current government's position on the homosexual conduct. Speaking after the Orlando shootings in which 50 members of the LGBT community were killed he stated, that the "good news was that there were 50 less perverts and paedophiles" equating the LGBT community to such criminal conduct. The Government through the Attorney General argued in the Legabibo case that members of the LGBT community are not "people" as defined by the Constitution. A position that was roundly rejected by the Court of Appeal. Pastor Anderson preaching from a religious fundamentalist position is consonant with the government's regard or lack of it to freedom of sexual orientation and practice and its failure to recognise the inherent rights of all personals regardless of the sexual orientation and practices. As a result he has been favoured and allowed entry into a country.
The application of the "righteous" government principle, from a religious fundamentalist perspective must be interpreted to be a government based on religious teachings and a strict adherence to the literal interpretation of the Bible, Pastor Anderson version of it. A "righteous" government Anderson's teachings hold, is one that executes people based purely on religious sentimentalities and not the rule of law, nor the basic concept of humanism. Humanism a deeply entrenched concept in the practice of Botho.
Pastor Anderson advocates for the imposition of Old Testament laws literally, such laws include slavery, sexism, racism and religious war. Botswana is a secular State allowing for the open practice of religion and freedom of expression and association.
The "teachings" of Anderson go beyond the call for the understanding of his biblical interpretations by calling for their implementation thereby undermining the very foundation of Botswana's constitutional democracy which is based on secularism and equality for all.
In contrast to government's position on such hate filled "teachings", political criticism is quickly sanctioned. Government cannot and should not be seen to be hypocritical when it comes to Freedom of Expression.
Political commentary and the exposure of corruption has been met with the deportation of Journalists in the 1990's, deportation of academia, Professor Good, the raids and arrests on Media Houses and their Editors, The Sunday Standard, Outsa Mokone, The Botswana Gazette and its Editors Lawrence Seretse, Shike Olsen and journalist Innocent Selatlhwa, barring entry into Botswana of Advocate Gordon Bennet and Survival International director Stephen Cory and notably Julius Malema a politician from South Africa critical of the current Botswana Democratic Party's government.
Botswana is a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which upholds Freedom of Expression. The United Nations Human Rights Committee has stipulated that the right to freedom of expression must encompass "even expression that may be regarded as deeply offensive." Under the convention, a State must justify restrictions on the right to freedom of expression based on the need to protect the rights of others. A state must further demonstrate "a direct and immediate connection between the expression and the threat (to other people's rights)". Pastor Stevens L Anderson "teachings" consequently and clearly fall within the limitation of this right of freedom of expression whilst political commentary does not. Under the convention in order to be lawful, restrictions on the right to freedom of expression must conform to the principles of "necessity" and "proportionality". A restriction on freedom of expression must be tested against necessity, is it necessary in the sense that it is the only means of achieving the intended purpose and the protection of the rights of others, and that the restrictive measure imposed "must be the least intrusive instrument amongst those which might achieve their protective function."
The United Nations cautions that illegal restrictions on freedom of expression, ostensibly justified by "national security", "public order" and "public morality (the limitations under section 12 of the Constitution of Botswana is often used for anti-democratic purposes stating restrictions by the use of "'hate speech' laws have in the past been used against those they should be protecting."
The selective approach to Freedom of Expression, be it based on political commentary, satire, religious fundamentalism, academic or legal commentary has no place in a democratic country. The old expression must apply "what is good for the goose is good for gander".
"The strategic response to hate speech is more speech: more speech that educates about cultural differences; more speech that promotes diversity; more speech to empower and give voice to minorities, for example through the support of community media and their representation in mainstream media. More speech can be the best strategy to reach out to individuals, changing what they think and not merely what they do"

Diabetes self-management encompasses a range of activities, or "behaviors," that the person with diabetes engages in to care for their condition and promote health.
The efforts required in the daily management of diabetes can sometimes lead to "diabetes burnout," where people with diabetes become detached from recommended self-management behaviors and may ignore some or all of their treatment for a period of time. And unlike some other diseases, where taking a break or "holiday" from diets or a treatment plans is OK, ignoring diabetes can have potentially dangerous consequences. For example, very high blood sugar can lead to ketoacidosis and life-threatening emergent situations. Over time, high or uncontrolled blood sugar may increase the risk of other complications.
It is certainly understandable that people with diabetes might come to a place of wanting to ignore the daily tasks of testing (for some multiple times a day), injecting, taking medications, planning meals, planning exercise, problem solving in the midst of their jobs, caring for families, etc. To avoid burnout, a strategy to deal with the stresses of managing diabetes is a cornerstone to crossing the valley when these feelings surface.
Identify barriers to good diabetes care: What are the obstacles in your life preventing consistent good self-care habits? If you are not exercising, find a friend who also wants to walk or do stretching activities. If you fall asleep before your evening medication, set an alarm or talk to your health care provider about options.
Get some support: Family, friends, co-workers or even your educator can help you stay motivated: find positive people, share a goal or two with them and "check in" with them (or ask them to "check in" with you!) periodically.
Think of long-term benefits: Managing your diabetes is one of the primary ways to reduce the risks of complications. Feeling good and staying motivated will improve other areas of your life!

Mark Schneider: My Response to Essay Rebuttal — I'm Concerned About the PISA Exam's Future and the Implications of Its Sponsor's Global Ambitions
By Mark Schneider | March 13, 2019
In her response to my Feb. 25 essay arguing against the expansion of the Program for International Student Assessment to 40 additional countries, Michele Bruniges documents the many admirable aspects of PISA. Indeed, many of her points are exactly why the U.S. has strongly supported the exam since its start. However, the past is not the future — and my concern is about the future implications of current trends for PISA.
My argument had nothing to do with pitting rich countries against poor ones. Rather, my point was to call for "a pause in PISA's expansion [to] provide time for further development of testing methodology and governance structures to ensure that the benefits of the expansion are ultimately realized — for member and non-member countries alike." This is not a call for a division of the world into rich versus poor — it's a call to take a pause in the willy-nilly expansion of PISA to protect its future for all participants.
Countries that are not members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which administers the exam to 15-year-olds worldwide, have brought great value to PISA. Shanghai and Singapore, while not OECD members, are stellar educational systems from which we have learned much. However, the PISA design tells nothing about the why of Shanghai and Singapore, only the what. Moreover, it was Singapore's participation in an early study by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, not PISA, that first shook that nation to its core and set off the reforms that have propelled its students to the top of international ratings.
Further, as I noted in my piece, PISA is testing radically different populations of 15-year-olds across non-OECD countries — a fact that is not made clear in Bruniges's commentary or in PISA reports.
Empirically, the percentage of 15-year-olds participating in the exam across OECD countries is 92 percent and tightly clustered. Among non-OECD or partner countries, with the exception of Vietnam, no country reaches even the lowest level of participation of OECD countries; the average is only 79 percent, and the range among them is far greater.
It's these types of omissions, obfuscations, and departures from the data that drive my call for global statistical standards for the OECD and all international testing organizations, which must be held to higher, more rigorous assessment standards given their international reach.
My concerns stand: that the OECD is pursuing global growth without considering the effects of continued expansion on the technical quality and validity of its data. Specifically, I pointed out that current questions about the validity of PISA's comparisons "will grow worse as OECD pursues its global ambition of having about 100 non-member countries take part" in PISA. The methodological advances of PISA, as laudable as they are, have not sufficiently addressed these concerns.
Complacency about PISA's future — and the unwillingness of the OECD to discuss the implications of its global ambitions — is exactly why I wrote my commentary in the first place.
