Q: How to pass list of sprite names to mixin in sass+compass I have mixin like this:
@mixin sprite-icon-pos-each() {

    $icons: sprite-map("icons/*.png", $spacing: 1px);
    $icon-names: "vk", "fb", "tw", "gp", "ok";

    @each $item in $icon-names {
        &_tp_#{$item} {
            @include sprite-icon-pos($item);
            }
            &_tp_#{$item}:hover {
                @include sprite-icon-pos(#{$item}_hover);
                }
    }

}

Its work fine, but
How can I set $icon-names: "vk", "fb", "tw", "gp", "ok" when I includ mixin. Something like this:
@mixin sprite-icon-pos-each($icons) {

    $icons: sprite-map("icons/*.png", $spacing: 1px);

    @each $item in $icon-names {
        &_tp_#{$item} {
            @include sprite-icon-pos($item);
            }
            &_tp_#{$item}:hover {
                @include sprite-icon-pos(#{$item}_hover);
                }
    }

}

.some-selector {
    @include sprite-icon-pos-each($icon-names: "vk", "fb", "tw", "gp", "ok");
}

When I do so, compass generantes error "positional arguments must come before keyword arguments".

A: I figured out why it doesn't work. Аrguments must be enclosed in parentheses:
@include sprite-icon-pos-each($icon-names: ("vk", "fb", "tw", "gp", "ok"));

Sports guards and bite appliances protect your teeth from injury and damage. Guards are used to protect your teeth from being chipped, broken or knocked out during sports, and bite appliances (night guards) are used to prevent you from grinding your teeth in your sleep. TranscenDental Group offers custom-made guards that will protect your teeth from these hazards.
Sports guards fit comfortably and snugly right over your teeth, but are strong enough to deflect an impact from a frozen hockey puck. Although they provide great protection for high contact sports such as hockey, football and boxing, guards can protect your teeth from damage caused by any sport.
Night guards, also called bite appliances, are worn while you sleep to prevent you from grinding your teeth. Nighttime teeth grinding, or bruxism, affects many people. Over time, if your teeth are not protected, grinding can eventually wear down the surface of your teeth and cause serious damage, possibly resulting in lost or broken teeth.
A night guard holds your teeth and jaws in place while you sleep, preventing them from moving and stopping you from grinding your teeth.
To learn more about ways to protect your teeth with custom made appliances and guards, we invite you to call our office today.


The uniform worn by General Robert E. Lee. He carries a sword, and a binocular case is slung from his left shoulder. The buff sash was worn only by General Officers. The three stars on his collar indicate his rank.
This is the type of uniform worn by General "Jeb" Stuart. He carries a saber, revolver, and a binocular case is slung from his left shoulder. He wears a short jacket, lapels turned back with buff collar, cuffs, and sash of a General Officer. Three stars on his collar indicate his rank.
His equipment includes a sword and revolver. The blue forage cap (or kepi), collar and cuffs identify him as belonging to the Infantry. (An Artillery Officer would have worn a red cap, collar, and cuffs.) The two bars on his collar indicate his rank as First Lieutenant.
His equipment includes saber and revolver. He holds a sponge and rammer used to swabout the cannon barrel, and ram home the charge about to be fired. The red cap, collar, and cuffs identify him as belonging to the Artillery.
His equipment includes saber and revolver. A carbine is attached to the sling across his left shoulder. His chevrons indicate his rank as sargeant. Yellow chevrons, collar and cuffs identify him as belonging to the calvary.
The typical Confederate foot soldier. His equipment includes musket, cartridge box (on his right hip), bayonet and scabbard, canteen, haversack and tin cup. A blanket roll is slung across his shoulder. Uniforms of butternut or brown were also worn extensively by Confederate Infantrymen.
These paintings are by Frederic Ray. Published by Americana Souvenirs and Gifts, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Printed in Ireland.
The origin of the term came from the "Tiger Rifles," a volunteer company raised in the New Orleans area as part of Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat's 1st Special Battalion, Louisiana Volunteer Infantry (2nd Louisiana Battalion). A large number of the men were foreign-born, particularly Irish Americans, many from the city's wharves and docks. Many men had previous military experience in local militia units or as filibusters. They (and the regiments that later became known as the Tigers) were organized and trained at Camp Moore.
Originally, Company B of "Wheat's Tigers" wore distinctive uniforms similar to the French zouave, with straw hats or red cloth fezzes, blue-striped chasseur-style pantaloons, and short dark blue jackets with red lacing. The Tiger Zouaves apparently wore the fezzes in camp and straw hats while in the field. As time went on, this garb was replaced by Confederate uniforms and what clothing the men could purchase or otherwise obtain from civilians. Within months of arriving in Northern Virginia, Wheat's entire five-company battalion began to be called the Louisiana Tigers.
Following Wheat's death at the Battle of Gaines' Mill and with but some 60 officers or men under Capt. Harris, the Tiger Battalion was merged with Coppens' Zouaves within the Army of Northern Virginia. The combined unit was heavily depleted during the Northern Virginia Campaign and the subsequent Maryland Campaign, where its leader, Colonel Auguste Gaston Coppens, was killed.
The only complete Confederate Zouave command at Antietam was the 1st Battalion "Louisiana Zouaves" also known as "Coppens Zouaves." Initially its members wore Zouave uniforms and even drilled with commands given in French. Beginning the war with over 400 men, their numbers had dwindled to approximately 17 men. They saw heavy action along the Hagerstown Road in the "Morning Phase" of battle. However, by the time of the Battle of Antietam, except for an occasional hat or coat, Confederate Zouave units with the Army of Northern Virginia had worn out or discarded their flashy garb for standard Confederate gray. The amalgamated battalion was disbanded shortly after the Battle of Antietam, and the men were dispersed among other units.
(1) One of a body of infantry in the French Army, composed orig. of Algerians, distinguished for their dash & hardiness, and wearing a picturesque Oriental uniform.
(2) a member of any body of soldiers wearing a similar dress.
(3) a soldier of volunteer regiments (1861-65) in the U.S. Army whose dress resembled the French Zouave uniform. A member of a group patterned after the French Zouaves, especially a member of such a unit of the Union Army in the U.S. Civil War.
I am of French and English descent, consequently, my interest in the "Louisiana Tiger" Zouave soldier is keen.

CFL Announces "Rivalries" Documentary About Ticats-Argos To Air On TSN In Fall
Mark Perry
Airing this fall on TSN, the all-access documentary explores the historical to modern-day rivalry between two of the CFL's most iconic franchises
TORONTO (August 18, 2022) – Athlete empowerment brand UNINTERRUPTED Canada, the Canadian Football League (CFL), Bell Media and OK Tire announced today the production of a new feature documentary, RIVALRIES: THE QEW SERIES, chronicling the longstanding rivalry between the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The Argos and Ticats have one of the most storied competitive histories in the CFL and North American sports. The two southern Ontario clubs' annual clash – the Labour Day Classic – dates back to the 1950s and has become destination viewing for Canadian sports fans, making it one of the longest-standing rivalries in pro football history.
UNINTERRUPTED Canada offers an all-access feature documentary along with exclusive, behind-the-scenes social media moments, tracing the teams' journey in the 2022 season to their annual September showdown. The documentary will present the teams' up-and-coming and veteran stars and introduce them to a new generation of fans, while contextualizing the historical tension between the clubs.
RIVALRIES: THE QEW SERIES will shine the spotlight on the compelling personal stories of Toronto Argonauts quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson and linebacker Henoc Muamba, and their respective Hamilton Tiger-Cats counterparts, Dane Evans and Simoni Lawrence.
The film will also pay homage to the fans and their devotion to their respective teams, while highlighting the unique passion of diehard supporters in southern Ontario.
RIVALRIES is sponsored by OK Tire in association with Blackhawk Tire – the title sponsor of the CFL's Labour Day matchups.
Bell Media delivers RIVALRIES: THE QEW SERIES exclusively to viewers across Canada on TSN, with the hour-long film set to premiere in Fall 2022.

Creating a wildlife garden starts with the plants you are going to put in, let's have a look at the right plants you're going to need.
The plants and trees you put in your garden provide nesting sites and food for birds. Birch, oak and willow bring in bees and insects and they in turn are a natural food source for birds and amphibians. Throw in some wildflowers like cornflower, foxglove and honeysuckle also lure bees and butterflies into your garden. You can also let a patch of the lawn just grow wildly, longer grass also gives shelter and attracts insects. Here are some more plants you can put into your garden.
Bringing birds into the backyard is as simple as throwing up a birdfeeder. If you have a well-stocked bird feeder in the yard, birds like easy to access food, always put the bird feeder away from the long grass so that predators can't sneak up on them. It is also best if the bird feeder has a quiet spot so they can eat uninterrupted. Birds are not fussy either and they will eat almost anything. You can put table scraps out like fruit, cheese, nuts and rice. You can also grab already made birdseed some will attract a specific type of bird, like hummingbirds. Whatever you do clean up the area regularly or you will end up with wildlife you don't want…rats!
Set aside a corner of your garden for and put in things like dead leaves, twigs and logs. This will provide a home for moss, lichen and the creepy crawlies that breakdown dead wood. Leave this space be in the winter because there may be critters hibernating in there. If you can manage to put a pond into your backyard that will bring in insects, frogs, toads and newts. While you may be tempted to stock the pond with fish or koi they will eat the insects and tadpoles that are trying to live there.
Not only will your backyard become a mini nature reserve you can do your part to help local wildlife survive and you never know which animals and birds that you will get to see up close.


President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Google and other U.S. tech companies of rigging search results about him "so that almost all stories & news is BAD." He offered no evidence of bias, but a top adviser said the White House is "taking a look" at whether Google should face federal regulation.
Larry Kudlow, the president's top economic adviser, told reporters later that the White House is "taking a look" at whether Google searches should be subject to some government regulation. That would be a noteworthy development since Trump often points proudly to his cutting of government regulations as a spur for economic gains.
A search query Tuesday morning, several hours after the president tweeted, showed stories from CNN, ABC News, Fox News and the MarketWatch business site, among others. A similar search later in the day for "Trump" had Fox News, the president's favored cable network, among the top results.
Media analyst Ken Doctor said it doesn't make sense for mass-market businesses like Google to lean either way politically. He characterized the complaints as a "sign of our times," adding that, years ago, if the head of General Electric was supporting a Republican candidate, people who disagreed wouldn't then go out and boycott GE products.
Trump didn't say what he based his tweets on. But conservative activist Paula Boylard had said in a weekend blog post that she found "blatant prioritization of left-leaning and anti-Trump media outlets" in search results.
Boylard based her judgments on the political leanings of media outlets on a list by Sharyl Attkisson, host of Sinclair Television's "Full Measure" and author of "The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, Think, and How You Vote." Sinclair is a significant outlet for conservative views.
Trump has praised Jones' "amazing" reputation.

How Arsenal's Offensive Prowess Can Outweigh Its Defensive Fragilities
by Vinayak Kandu - 06/09/2018 06/09/2018 1
Arsenal registered their first away win of the Premier League season, as they narrowly escaped past the resilient Cardiff City on Sunday lunchtime.
The Gunners traveled back to North London after taking all 3 points, with a 3-2 victory. The game was locked at 2-2 until the dying stages, when Lacazette scored a late winner for Arsenal with Shkodran Mustafi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring earlier in the game. Victor Camarasa and Danny Ward were on the scoresheet for the home side.
The defensive woes remain for the North Londoners as to how they are leaking so many goals, with Petr Cech being massively uncomfortable playing out from the back, in this new style of play, and maybe it's time for the new signing Bernd Leno to get a game or two. The back four is gaining stability though, with Hector Bellerin and Monreal Monreal as full-backs with Mustafi and Sokratis in between.
The midfield triangle is still in experimental stage at the moment, with Unai Emery using Lucas Torreira, Aaron Ramsey, Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi in games, but will soon need to find a solution.
But the major talking point here is Lacazette and Aubameyang starting together. Emery finally named the pair in the starting eleven this season, and they proved why they must start in every game this season. And it was due to the combination of the two, that Arsenal gathered all three points on the day as the Gunners appeared far more comfortable in attack at Cardiff with Aubameyang out wide and the Frenchman as a spearhead.
Ramsey always drawing the CB's, creating space for Laca and Auba to exploit. His work rate was immense and he created 2-3 goalscoring opportunities and also was unlucky to not have one himself. There's a reason Unai loves him and there's a reason he played 90 mins.
— LTArsenal™ (@ltarsenal) September 2, 2018
Since Aubameyang arrived at Arsenal, Lacazette has all but found himself coming off the bench more often than not, but he smashed the post only after 33 minutes in the game, where he looked sharp in the number 9 position. Later at 1-1 in the second half, The Gabonese scored with a brilliant strike after latching on to Lacazette's pass to make it 2-1.
The striker did not score in the opening three games of the tournament and got off the mark with a great finish which will certainly do good for his confidence.
Lacazette, on the other hand is holding Arsenal's attacking play together in Unai Emery's preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mesut Ozil on the number 10 role. On Sunday, Unai Emery went for an attacking trio of Özil, Aaron Ramsey and Aubameyang behind Lacazette hoping each one brings their quality into the game.
https://w25.4d9.myftpupload.com/three-players-excelled-cardiff-arsenal/7162/
It is also worth noting that Arsenal's win ratio with Lacazette starting in the Premier League (59.3%) is better than it is without the France international (33.3%), with Arsenal's goals per game rising from 1.53 to 2.19 when the striker plays from the start.
When played together, the two big names in Lacazette and Aubameyang certainly bring out the best in them, as they switch positions often and find themselves in dangerous positions making it easy for the midfielders to thread balls for them.
Both have pace, power, timing of runs and finishing ability coupled with the composure needed in front of goal in their lockers and can finish off opponents at their will.
Ok now is the Time Emery has to start playing Laca & Auba together & also start Torreira
— Js Boy (@jazz_sian) August 31, 2018
It may be said that Aubameyang is still considered as the main striker at Arsenal, but Lacazette's contributions to the team cannot be ignored, and it is vital for both to continue their good run of form of late, and in the last few weeks, Lacazette has already proven that he deserves a regular place week in week out, and Emery's selection problems have increased, but one cannot deny the fact Lacazette and Aubameyang have to start together at all costs.
The international break is upon us and we will see the Londoners travel to Newcastle later next week. But for now, no matter the defensive crisis Arsenal are in, it is safe to say that Goals will continue to come with the two main strikers in top form for Arsenal.

When Mike Pompeo landed in Beirut from Tel Aviv on Friday morning, barely a handful of demonstrators took to the streets to protest the US Secretary of State's visit.
The night before, US President Donald Trump declared US recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War, and later annexed.
Pompeo praised the announcement as "historic" and "bold," agreeing in an interview with the Christian Broadcast Network that the US President might have been sent by God to protect Israel.
Yet, in Beirut -- which classifies Israel as an "enemy state" and was invaded by its southern neighbour in 1982 -- the reaction has been largely muted. On Friday, the top US diplomat met with Lebanon's highest officials to discuss security in the region, including the role of Hezbollah, which the US considers a terrorist organization.
Some critical editorials were published in Arab newspapers on Friday morning. One Lebanese newspaper dubbed Pompeo the "ugly guest." But besides these blips of opposition, Beirut and other Arab capitals appear unfazed by an announcement that seemingly marks a seismic shift in regional politics.
Hours before Pompeo's arrival, dozens of leftist protesters outside the US Embassy in Beirut denounced the trip, citing the Trump administration's string of pro-Israel moves, including his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Scenes such as this led pundits and political leaders to predict that Trump's Golan Heights announcement would increase tensions in an already volatile region.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the decision has brought the region "to the brink of a new crisis." Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russia's Kremlin, said the announcement could "significantly destabilize an already tense situation in the Middle East."
But if Pompeo's Beirut visit serves as a litmus test of the Arab world's sentiments, then the Golan Heights decision does not seem to have exacerbated existing opposition to the US. Diplomacy has gone on as usual and there was little sign of anti-American protests after Trump's announcement.
"Ordinary people across the Arab world have lost hope that the United States will take the Israel-Palestine peace process seriously," said Lina Khatib, the head of the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House, a UK-based think tank for international affairs.
"(They) have come to expect the worst, seeing the Trump administration as (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's bed fellow."
While popular support for Palestinians and Syrians in areas occupied by Israel continues, said Khatib, deepening economic and domestic political problems have become a bigger priority.
"Trump officials are being embraced all over the region in spite announcements like moving the American embassy to Jerusalem or saying the Golan [Heights] is Israeli territory. This puts Arab leaders in stark opposition to the critical sentiments of their populations towards the United States' Middle East policies," said Khatib.
So far, a handful of Arab states have denounced the move. US allies in the Gulf such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates outsourced their condemnation to the regional union, the Gulf Cooperation Council, which said the move showed "the blind bias of the United States."
"There is a prevailing sense of apathy across the region, however, as more people prioritize domestic problems over regional issues," she added.
In Syria, the Trump announcement dims the country's prospects of restoring Israeli-occupied parts of the Golan Heights, after years of failed negotiations over the territory. Yet outward signs of outrage in the war-torn country are few and far between.
Most Syrians, said Syrian columnist Haid Haid, are "focusing on surviving." In the northwest, Syrians struggle to take cover from incessant regime shelling.
In the northeast, people are trying to rebuild homes destroyed by ISIS and the anti-ISIS international coalition. Elsewhere, Syrians are trying to pick up the pieces, grappling with increasing poverty and the snail-paced reconstruction process, as well as trying to avoid military conscription.
"All of them are still trying to figure out what the future holds for them," said Haid.
But the Golan Heights remains an important issue that transcends the country's deep political divide. "The unity of Syria and getting back Golan might be the only two domestic issues that all Syrians, or at least the vast majority, might still agree on," said Haid.
Trump's decision, said analyst Khatib, could potentially play into the hands of an already empowered Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"Syrians have already felt let down by the way the United States has handled the Syrian conflict," said Khatib. "This latest announcement will only play into the hand of the pro-Assad regime camp that will use it to underscore why they say the United States is not to be trusted."
Many analysts see Trump's decision as an attempt to prop up Netanyahu in his bid for re-election next month, while the president moves forward with his Middle East peace plan, yet to be unveiled. His senior advisor and son-law Jared Kushner, who has been involved in the plan's roll-out, was in the Middle East last month to shore up support.
Netanyahu has hoped to sway voters away from a corruption scandal he has been ensnared in, touting his close relations with Trump and Israel's increasingly normalized ties with Arab Gulf countries as cornerstones of his political success.
Since becoming president, Trump has recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, cut funding off to Palestinian refugees, and ordered the closure of the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Washington DC.
Responding to Trump's announcement on the Golan Heights, Yousef Munayyer, executive director of Washington DC-based US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, tweeted, "No, this won't lessen the prospects of the Kushner plan or further diminish Palestinian faith in US mediation. Those things were already at zero."
"This is simply Trump campaigning for Netanyahu," he said.
Trump's announcement via Twitter is not lost on people in the Middle East, as it stands in sharp contrast to international law that supports Syria's territorial integrity. Security Council Resolution 242, passed in the aftermath of the 1967 war, called for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Golan Heights, as well as other territories occupied in that conflict, including the West Bank.
Replying to Trump's tweet, Egyptian Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei wrote: "This, Mr. President is a gross violation of international law & of SC Res.242 (1967) 'emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war.' You might want to consult with your international lawyers."
He added: "Fairness and equity are key to peace in the (Middle East)."

World Mountain Running Association winter council meeting summary
by Nancy Hobbs
Category: Mountain Running, Trail Running, WMRA
In addition to her role with the American Trail Running Association, author Nancy Hobbs is the treasurer of the World Mountain Running Association.
On Sunday, February 5, the World Mountain Running Association (WMRA) held its annual winter council meeting in Cap d'Ail-Monaco, with seven of its eight council members present (Erhan Basoglu, was not in attendance).
In his eighth and final year as President of the WMRA, Bruno Gozzelino (ITA), who has worked closely with Secretary Pierre Weiss (FRA) for the past two years to lead the Council, conducted his second to last council meeting. Elections will be held July 29, in Premana, Italy, during the WMRA Congress meeting in advance of the 33rd World Mountain Running Championships the following day.
Bruno Gozzelino and Pierre Weiss
Four of the current Council members – Tomo Sarf (SLO), Wolfgang Munzel (GER), Andy Puchacz (POL), and Nancy Hobbs (USA), intend to run for seats. Weiss, along with Basoglu (TUR) and Galia Puhaleva (BUL), do not plan to run for another term.
There are presently 43 member countries in the WMRA family, the majority of which are represented by their respective National Athletic Federations. Only Canada and Australia, are outside their federations, but do operate with the approval of their respective federations. Any of the WMRA member countries can nominate an individual for a council seat in accordance with article 11.1 of the constitution. Nominations must be received 50 days prior to the Congress meeting, therefore by June 8, for the upcoming election.
Nancy Hobbs in the harbor
In addition to discussions surrounding the impending election, rules and regulations for the various championships in the WMRA portfolio were reviewed with some changes to existing rules by a majority vote of the council members in attendance.
The Long Distance Championships will have a change in how teams are ranked. Starting in 2017, at the 14th WMRA Long Distance Mountain Running Championships on August 6 in Premana, Italy, teams will be scored by place instead of time. One reason is to align the team scoring with the other WMRA championships. The other relates to a rule, which took effect several years ago, to have a separate start for the championships division if it was held in conjunction with an open race. With this separate start, there is no need to eliminate open runners in the results thereby making the place ranking easier (and quicker). Hobbs shared feedback from a poll taken of US athletes who supported keeping the scoring based on time, and therefore was the lone dissenter of the rule.
Another change in the regulations affecting organizers was to eliminate the previous requirement to pay travel and lodging expenses for the past year winners of the event. This is due to the local organizing committee (LOC) now responsible for more costs associated with hosting the event.
Running trails in the hills above Monaco
For the WMRA/WMA Masters Mountain Running Championships, several rule changes will be implemented starting this year at the 17th annual event in Dubnica nad Vahom, Sloakia, on September 2. The most interesting, especially for countries with fewer athletes participating in the predominantly European-centric competition, is the new rule for team scoring. Previously, three athletes per country made up the team scoring in each of the age divisions starting at 35-39, in five-year increments to 74-79. Starting with the championships this year in Slovakia, all age groups for women, and men's age groups 55 and up, will require just two athletes per country to score for a team. Men's categories 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, and 50-54 will still require three per country to score as a team.
Athletes in masters championships must represent the country in which they hold citizenship. Organizers must request during the registration process, not only the address for a competitor, but also nationality as sometimes an athlete resides in a country in which he or she does not hold citizenship. It was suggested by the council that national vests should be worn for all podium appearances for both individuals and teams.
Although age determination for Masters was discussed, with many on the council supporting the age in the year of competition, rather than the age of the athlete on the date of competition, the World Masters Athletics (WMA), whose global rules are followed for this competition, did not support a change to the age rule.
WMRA Council meeting
Switching gears to anti-doping efforts, six international mountain runners were in the out of competition testing pool of the IAAF resulting in 35 tests, all of which were negative. Additionally, all in-competition tests (of which there were 19 doping controls and 10 EPO analyses) were negative.
Much of the meeting content focused on objectives to increase exposure and participation in the sport worldwide. This includes the launch of the newly designed WMRA website, which will be live in the coming weeks, and the continued publication of the quarterly e-newsletter, and social media interaction on Facebook and Twitter.
In an effort to expand the reach throughout the six areas within the IAAF (Africa, Asia, Oceania, Europe, NACAC, Consudalte), Gozzelino and Weiss met with the six IAAF area designees the day before the Council meeting. The meetings were very positive and resulted in several new nations considering WMRA membership.

What Works home > Case studies > Karama Primary School
Karama Primary School, Darwin
Supporting students in transition to secondary school
The context | The issue | The strategy | What happened?
Principal, Bob Hale, with pre-school assistant Tania Hill (left) and Sheree Ah Sam
Karama Primary School is in the north-eastern suburbs of Darwin. It has an enrolment of about 440 primary age students and 72 in its preschool. About one third of its students are Indigenous. As the school's Aboriginal Education Adviser Sheree Ah Sam puts it, 'This is a welfare area where there's a lot of housing commission homes. We have one street where the larger families have four bedroom homes. We're not saying there's four kids in the house. You could have anything up to twenty in the house, you're dealing with extended families here.'
Information on this page is drawn from an interview with Principal, Bob Hale, and Sheree Ah Sam.
More about the flavour of the school can be drawn from the handbook prepared by Bob for his staff.
For a long time we were concerned about the dropout rate of our Karama kids once they go to high school. The majority of the kids are able to survive in the system and we aren't overly worried about them, but there's a significant number of them either dropping out or showing signs of poor attendance.
We set up a scheme last year that allowed Sheree to track our exiting Year 7 Indigenous kids from 1997 to 2000, and we found that the high school system appeared too rigid for quite a few of them.
They went into an environment that was foreign to them, going from extended contact with one teacher here to, say, nine teachers six weeks later at a high school. We try to counsel the kids and get them around to a way of thinking that they need to be responsible for their own actions, good or bad, and there are appropriate consequences. So they went from a school where the suspension mechanism is rarely, if ever, used, to high school environments where it's all too common. Once they're suspended they become typecast as troublemakers, and they can keep getting suspended until such a time as they drop out of the system.
It's survival of the fittest, that's what a lot of them have found out. If they miss one day they miss six lessons, that's six different teachers they've got to catch up on, and it's too much for them."
Sheree:
We also found a lot of the boys, it was mainly boys — late Grade 8, early Grade 9 — would drop out for two or three years and then try to get back into the system again. A lot of them had set goals for themselves and they realised that they had to have the education, but they become frustrated with themselves and frustrated with their parents, and it was sad because they were all good kids.
One thing I found is that the support from the parents does not change for the kid once they've gone to high school. A lot of people say — Oh, they are not getting the right support at home. If they were getting 90 percent attendance at primary school, and they drop out at Year 9, it's the exact same support. But the kids just hit this wall or the wall hits them. It's very hard.
The most important thing is to listen to the kids. If they're acting up, they're acting up for a reason. It might be something that's not happening at school, or something that's happened months before. Basically all the kids are good kids. No one's born a thief, or a drug dealer. You've just got to know what their background is.
Make them feel appreciated, that they are valued, that they see the front office as a safe place and a secure place and a place of friendship. There's little to be gained in being authoritarian with them because, in a lot of cases, they are quite used to that and they will respond quite negatively. The other thing is to get away from stereotyping. Each one of those kids is an individual, has individual needs, individual hopes and aspirations and expectations."
Show them the respect you want. The kids will respect you if you respect them. If you scream and rant and rave at a kid, they are going to scream and rant and rave right back, or they are going to put up that stone wall and you won't get anything out of them. Most of the kids, if you sit down and talk to them, just listen to them, let them tell you what's wrong. Just show them that little bit of respect. We get the one percent that don't, but their problems go deeper than anything you can ever touch."
Now is stage two of the project. Sheree spends four mornings a week at Sanderson High and the rest of the school week here. It's a sort of a bridge between the primary and the high school."
It's different all the time because we're dealing with kids and kids are different from day to day.
What I've been doing at the moment is going over term one's results with them, how they did academically. We found they failed French. I think that out of the sixteen kids that were failing, this was only one unit of work, the French. Two kids broke the barrier. Both come from families with two parents who have been together a long time, both are working.
A lot of the kids have fear. One of the questions I asked the kids was, how do you feel about going to high school, what's your biggest fear of going to high school? And it was the bullying. They thought they were going to be bullied.
But the majority of them have blended in really well. I see the kids from Karama over there, they've blended in really well, they're coping really well, but they still miss that one-on-one contact with one teacher.
They come and talk to me. It's not only the Aboriginal and Islander kids, but others who have been to Karama. They come in, if they have problems they know they can come and see me.
At the moment with them, they are not having big, big problems. The dropout rate with the 1997-1998 kids — they were a harder bunch of kids, they were sort of streetwise kids. They can't be tied into a classroom, they just can't be. This generation of kids that have come through now, the 1999-2000, they were the smart kids. They are at school for the right reasons and we are finding they are all still at school."
Sanderson are currently holding a review of all their courses. They feel as though there might be alternatives that these kids can fit into more comfortably, they may be more user friendly.
The way to go might be to look at employing an Aboriginal male and an Aboriginal female shared between the high school and the feeder primary schools, a person who has had life experience, whether it's been good or bad. At least they've been there, done that, they know the hardships of growing up from their own experience and their own experience in a hostile world.
[About levels of success with the strategy ] I tend to look back on the gospels. The Lord picked twelve disciples and one of them turned out no good, so if we're doing eleven to one or better then we're in pretty flash company."

Q: Adding class and removing from others I realise similar questions have been asked but I feel my setup is slightly different to the ones I have seen. I have the following markup:

$("#oneLink").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('#oneLinkText').toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
});

$("#twoLink").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('#twoLinkText').toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
});

$("#threeLink").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('#threeLinkText').toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
});
.text-area {
display: none;
}

.checked {
display: block;
}

#oneLinkText {
background-color: red;
}

#twoLinkText {
background-color: green;
}

#threeLinkText {
background-color: blue;
}

              Link 1
              Link 2
              Link 3

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

Now, the area where I am having an issue is making the click relate to the corresponding text area without the current duplication of code that I have. I can recognise this is highly inefficient. So for example, clicking on #oneLink displays #oneLinkText and removes the class from all other .text-area.
Is this type of cross-referencing possible without the duplication?

A: You can leverage the fact that your div ids are almost the same as the links:
$("a").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('#' + $(this).attr('id') + 'Text').toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
});

A: Hopefully this will be close enough. I have created a custom attribute to hold the target textarea ID and rest is done by jQuery. Let me know any questions or improvement needed.

$(".aLink").on("click",function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  let content = $(this).attr("data-content");
  $("#"+content).show();

  //hide other textarea
  $(".aLink").not(this).each(function(){
    let content = $(this).attr("data-content");
    $("#"+content).hide();
  });
});
.text-area {
display: none;
}

#oneLinkText {
background-color: red;
}

#twoLinkText {
background-color: green;
}

#threeLinkText {
background-color: blue;
}

              Link 1
              Link 2
              Link 3

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

A: Simple .. is to use same class and no need for id's .. you can just add your target div in the href attribute like this Link 1

$(".showText").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $($(this).attr('href')).toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
});
.text-area {
display: none;
}

.checked {
display: block;
}

#oneLinkText {
background-color: red;
}

#twoLinkText {
background-color: green;
}

#threeLinkText {
background-color: blue;
}

              Link 1
              Link 2
              Link 3

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

Additional: if you need to show a specific text on load you can add .eq(0).click() .eq(index) index starts from 0 so the first text will show .. you can change 0 with 1 or 2 as you like .. see the next code

$(".showText").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $($(this).attr('href')).toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
}).eq(0).click();
.text-area {
display: none;
}

.checked {
display: block;
}

#oneLinkText {
background-color: red;
}

#twoLinkText {
background-color: green;
}

#threeLinkText {
background-color: blue;
}

              Link 1
              Link 2
              Link 3

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

                Some Text

              Text

A: Another way of doing it in case your links and divs are not related name-wise...

              Link 1
              Link 2
              Link 3

$(".links-container a").on('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $(this.attr("data-target")).toggleClass('checked').siblings().removeClass('checked');
});

Barry Jenkins, Regina King And George Tillman Jr. Speak On The Importance Of Representation Behind The Scenes In Hollywood
Bennett Raglin/Getty Images
By Gene Hunter	· Updated October 23, 2020
The increase in television programming and film projects spearheaded by Black content creators in Hollywood has been steadily on the rise over the past 5 years or so, but if you ask those who are actually doing the creating, the glass ceiling has yet to be broken. When looking from behind the scenes, it seems more work completed also shines a light on just how much more work there still is to be done to continue the forward progress.
Weighing in on the topic in a panel titled Black Behind The Lens: Shaping Our Stories From Script To Screen, some of the most prominent voices in the film and entertainment industry came together for an enlightening conversation on the 2018 ESSENCE Festival Empowerment stage. The conversation included candid discussion on ways Black directors, producers and screenwriters help better define our narratives within television and film while continuing to push the boundaries in Hollywood.
Actress and director Regina King, director Barry Jenkins, and director George Tillman Jr. offered a blended balance of their perspectives, as journalist and television personality, Toure moderated the discussion centering around the importance of representation amongst directors, producers and actors.
"I think Hollywood wants to see more of African-American characters and African-American stories, period," Tillman said.
Pivoting the conversation to address the perceived "ease" with which Black films seemingly being more accepted in Hollywood today, Tillman
"I don't think it's fair to say it's easier," he said. "We could all agree it's not easier. I would say that television has allowed this space to grow, so there are probably more opportunities because there are more outlets but, it's tough."
Responding to a question on what type of stories they like to tell, specifically when it comes to authentically capturing the essence of Black life, Hall spoke on the untapped common interests that link people and how portraying that accurately on screen is a priority for her.
"I want to tell stories that are interesting to me," she said. "I think we have more in common than we think."
"What are you trying to give to Blake audiences with your filmmaking? Tillman added. "They always say a filmmaker tells the same story no matter what. I enjoy telling stories about families. I was taught in film school to talk about things you're interested in, extensively, and I think I always gravitate towards."
The trio closed out the conversation with sound words of advice for those aspiring to do great work behind the scenes in Hollywood. Hall, in particular, encouraged young television and film content creators to never give up.
"You're gonna hear no more than you hear yes," she said. "But don't let that discourage you. Keep going."

This week our interns Claire and Judith give you an update on what they've been doing with their projects, and what they've managed to find in the Archive as part of the Explore Your Archive Campaign.
When I last wrote a blog post I had been out and about in Edinburgh, but since then I've gotten back to my desk and managed to complete one of the projects I've been working on over the last six weeks. You'll maybe have seen a blog post by Judith, our conservation intern, about the collection of medical illustrations, demonstration boards, sketches and photographs generated through the practice of the Edinburgh neurosurgeon, Professor Norman Dott (1897-1973) that LHSA holds and while Judith has been working on rehousing these beautiful illustrations I've been working on cataloguing them.
Initially I made a listing of each individual illustration so that we knew what we had, and what they were all of. From there it was easy to identify the four different types of material we had: drawings and illustrations, demonstration boards used for teaching purposes, material relating to a speech on aneurysms given by Professor Dott at an international conference in 1953, and loose notes and photographs that appear to have been used to create the rest of the material.
I went through each item entering it into our cataloguing system with the relevant extra bits of information like whether it contained any sensitive patient information and the name of the artist where we knew it, and had some fun dragging and dropping all the entries until they were in the order I'd decided on. Then it was time to start the sizeable task of physically rearranging all 213 drawings! It took a whole day, and a whole lot of space but I got it done, and we ended up with a much neater looking trolley of material than when I started.
Now that I've finished my part of this mini project I've handed the material over to Judith to rehouse them and make them look even neater than they did when I gave them to her!

This week I have been working with the Special Collections Conservator Emily on some of the bound volumes belonging to LHSA. We have been treating a series of registers belonging to midwives, which were used to record their cases. The collection is frequently used by LHSA staff and so needs to withstand repeated handling.
We began by surface cleaning the registers using smoke sponge before moving onto repairing any tears to the spines or pages using wheat starch paste and a thin Japanese kozo paper. A number of the volumes had structural problems, where the stitching along the spine had broken or slackened and pages were working loose. To try to solve several problems with one treatment (and save time!) we decided to strengthen the exposed spines with kozo paper linings and use a stippling brush to ensure good contact between the lining and the contours of the spine, thereby simultaneously securing the loose leaves.
The volumes were then rehoused into custom made 'book shoes' to afford extra protection during storage and use. We lured Claire into the studio on Tuesday afternoon to help make these! It is hoped that these treatments will ensure safe use of these registers for many years to come.
Explore Your Archive is a campaign designed for archives of all kinds throughout the UK and Ireland, co-ordinated by The National Archives and the Archives and Records Association (UK and Ireland), to increase public awareness of the essential role of archives in our society, to celebrate our network of collections and emphasise the skills and professionalism of the sector. Between 18 and 26 November 2017 LHSA, and archives across the country, have been contributing to the campaign through the use of hashtags, letting Twitter know what we've found by exploring our own archive. Some of the themes we've covered include food, fashion and love. A particular favourite of ours is part of #HairyArchives (https://twitter.com/lhsaeul/status/933334258256510978): an advert for John Atkinsons's Marvellous American Formula which should help with your weak eyelashes! Advertising seems to have fewer standards in those days as the 'after use' shot is a drawing of a bearded gentleman!

These first two images show the block plan for the extension of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Edinburgh and a view of the building. The RVH was founded in 1894 and formed part of the foundation for Robert William Philip's 'Edinburgh Scheme' to combat TB through prevention, detection and treatment. The hospital started with 76 beds and patients were sent here for x-rays and treatment. This scheme was an early success in the fight against TB, reflected in a decline in mortality rates, and paved the way for a legislative drive to notify those with the infectious disease.
Work began to develop a vaccination against TB in the early 1900s but it was not used on a wider scale in Scotland until the early 1950s, known as the BCG vaccination. It worked by injecting the body with a weakened form of the disease so the immune system could recognise and defend against it. BCG vaccinations were given to children and young adults in close contact to TB sufferers, providing they themselves had not been infected with the disease. Mass campaigns were brought to communities to educate people on protecting their families with the vaccination, an example of which, in image 7, shows a BCG exhibition. Amongst the TB patient case notes that I am cataloguing I have come across many pregnant women notified as having active or inactive TB. Many comments are made by the doctors on the birth of healthy babies but it was clear that vaccinating them against TB was a priority as early as possible, shown in image 6.
Most commonly we associate TB as an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs and respiratory system. However, amongst the case notes we have found many instances of TB infection in other parts of the body. Thankfully we use a very helpful resource called MeSH (Medical Subject Headings), a controlled vocabulary thesaurus for medical terminology. We not only use this for indexing but it is also useful to inform the 'non-medical archivist' about complex medical conditions and treatments. It has been particularly useful to differentiate unfamiliar types of TB. So far we have uncovered 18 differed types of TB throughout the case notes, such as: tuberculosis of the skin, called cutaneous TB; laryngeal TB, involving the larynx which can produce ulcers on the vocal cords; ocular TB, an infection of tuberculosis in the eye; and genital TB which can affect both the male and female reproductive tract. In image 7 we see a patient suffering form long term spinal TB. This usually occurred because of a complication of lung TB moving through in to the vertebrae.
These are just a few snapshots that I have picked out form our collections that allow us to focus on different events and developments, specifically in Edinburgh's fight against TB. Even more LHSA TB images can be accessed through online platform SCRAN. Here you can also search through various Scottish perspectives in the history of TB from many other contributors.
