To celebrate our one-year anniversary we are delighted to feature our recent conversation with Colin Newton – one of the UK's leading inclusion pioneers. Colin's interest in this area was sparked by a lecture tour that he helped to organise in the mid-90s. As part of that programme, he brushed shoulders with two of the world's foremost inclusion gurus. Since then, he hasn't looked back – writing and publishing many books on the subject and forming one of the country's most respected inclusion companies.
More recently, the new Code of Practice and the inclusive approach that it espouses, has led to inclusion and person-centred planning taking centre stage. In light of this, there are few better people to talk about this subject and answer your questions.
We hope that you enjoy this issue and want to thank you for continuing to subscribe to The SEND Practitioner. In the last year, we have interviewed many respected SEND practitioners and are delighted to have increased our readership by more than 1,000 since our launch.
As ever, if you have any questions, queries, thoughts or suggestions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
Can you tell me what first piqued your interest in the person-centred planning approach?
Why did you initially feel that it would work in the UK?
So, you were pretty much trailblazers really?
Since the foundation of Inclusive Solutions, what main impacts have person-centred planning had?
How can SEND practitioners ensure that person-centred planning is more than just an aspiration and really embeds as they grapple with the new Code?
A reader's question: How does your organisation further support the emotional and social needs of children; and what sorts of changes are needed in schools to implement and embed the effective support of children with SEMH needs?
A reader's question: The school admissions Code of Practice requires children and young people with SEN to be treated fairly. In what ways, again, does a person-centred planning approach bolster this aim?
In your view, what does an ideal EHCP or assessment look like and can adopting a truly person-centred planning approach ensure that some of the inconsistencies that we have seen are ironed out?
If an EHCP assessment was carried out according to person-centred planning principles, what would the role of staff within that school be?
What practical steps can a school take to become better at person-centred planning and how can they best evaluate their progress?
A reader's question: Do you think that we're moving forward with inclusion, marking time, or slipping back? What signs of life might you highlight?
What potential pitfalls should SEND practitioners look for with the institution of person-centred planning over the coming year?
What's your main message to SEND practitioners over the coming year and do you have any closing comments?
"Back in the mid-90s, when I was still working as an educational psychologist for Nottinghamshire, I helped to organise a series of lectures – one of which featured some inspirational presentations from Jack Pearpoint and Marsha Forest (from a Toronto-based organisation called Inclusion Press). They were very inspiring international champions of change and, as it turned out, these two people were key exponents and creators of person-centred planning and the concept of inclusion. To add to that, they'd also worked with John O'Brien, who is now recognised as the big guru in the world of person-centred planning and later we got to meet him as well. So, that was our first connection to this very exciting, vibrant approach to training and person-centred ways of working with disabled adults and children.
"It resonated very strongly with everything that I knew about psychology and working with families and individual children. Our traditional ways of working – annual or standard review processes – are staid in comparison.
"In stark contrast, person-centred planning's child-centred approach was refreshing and resonated with my background as a primary school teacher. It was so much more interesting and appealing. The colours, the big images, the direct engagement, the use of dramatic approaches, and the use of props inspired each and every meeting. The square focus on really listening to the young person communicate was fresher and much more interesting. Of the countless meetings that I facilitated and chaired, I could clearly see the impact of this vibrant new approach and thought it was a brilliant way of working, as did Derek Wilson (my colleague and co-founder of Inclusive Solutions).
"I think so, because not many people were using it. Of course, Helen Sanderson Associates also existed then, and are still going strong, but they work mainly with disabled adults. In fact, as soon as we set up Inclusive Solutions, we were keen to promote this way of working. And, in fact, if you look right back at the early training that we were offering and the ways of working in schools and with families, it would have been a very person-centred approach.
"There is a real dilemma here in the new Code of Practice. Because, whilst, on the one hand, it has talked up person-centred ways of working, it has also drawn on the older, much more clinical, ever-present approaches – for example, the formal assessment processes involved in creating a statement. It's like the government didn't want to completely ditch the old, wanted a bit of the new but couldn't quite bear to let go of the old. It's a shame really, because it was quite an opportunity missed, the way it seems to me.
"But in terms of what SEND practitioners could be doing, I think that the challenge is that they should really be getting hold of this as an opportunity to show just how person-centred review meetings can be. The tools are there now: MAPS, PATH, child-centred reviews, so it's really about whether SEN practitioners can prioritise the time to do them justice. The inherent danger is that person-centred planning only extends as far as a friendly front page, a fig leaf to the clinical content remaining at its heart.
A reader's question: Many teachers and TAs perhaps feel that they have neither the skills, nor the time to support the needs of children with ASD/ADHD. CAMHS do not appear to have funding to support these children with their social, emotional and mental health needs. Many have severe anxiety issues and related difficulties such as OCD and school refusal, etc. Specialist teachers currently provide support and advice to schools in terms of appropriate strategies, but how can Inclusive Solutions further support the emotional and social needs of these children? What sorts of changes are needed in schools in order to implement and embed these practices more effectively than at the present time?
"Well, I've got a few angles on this really. There has been a move to medicalise many children, particularly around ADHD. To add to this, the increasingly common use of drugs (for example, Ritalin) is a worrying development. It has a way of disempowering lead SENCOs and SEN professionals in schools. They start getting the feeling that is voiced in this question. Indeed, to some, it may almost feel as if this situation is beyond what they can do and too complex to be resolved. Sometimes there is the sense that a new breed of child has suddenly arrived on our doorstep, which I don't actually believe to be true. At the centre of this debate, is not only the way in which children are being diagnosed, but also the way in which they are perceived. It's a complicated area and there is a lot of complexity for busy practitioners to get to grips with.
"We carry out a lot of training across the UK and parts of the globe on what we like to call 'movement differences'. Originally, this came out of the world of understanding children with autism. However, it's a very useful way of understanding children with increased movement who would otherwise get labelled as ADHD. It's a much more respectful way of understanding the fact that we're all moving around in bodies; that we all have difficulty stopping doing certain things; starting doing certain things; switching from one thing to another; executing complex movements; combining, switching and so on. So it gets right into that fresh and respectful way of thinking about behaviour.
"In many ways, this approach is about trying to debunk the exaggerated myths and claims around some of these conditions and try and normalise things – to get back to what's really important to every child. Indeed, it's about getting a better understanding of what makes a child a child and a human a human. It's about getting back to basics. It is underpinned by the idea that we need to think about what works for any of us if we are really going to get a handle on exactly what's needed.
"A person-centred planning approach really gets their voice out and allows them to be listened to. If a child is listened to properly, then there is a much greater chance that they will be treated fairly by the adults in the system and the other young people around them. Why, because people will understand that child better. Person-centred planning is designed for this because it is so respectful and is centred around listening to each child's dreams, goals, interests, strengths and gifts.
"There is of course a problem here. The DfE left everyone to make their own interpretations on how the legislation/Code will roll out. So, already, I've seen several starkly different approaches. If it was down to me, I would put much more onus on the person-centred planning aspects of the EHCPs. I would ensure that this aspect was most seriously carried out. In regard to the technical parts, the outcomes should be a spin-off really and not the dominant player in this way of working.
"One would be to host the meeting and to take, what we like to call, a 'radical hospitality' approach. This is about getting the environment absolutely comfortable for the child involved. So, that might mean that the young person is carrying their favourite toy; or that their favourite music is playing; or that it is being held in their favourite room in the school. In fact, it might not be held in their school at all. It could even be in their home or in a neutral venue like a church hall – so long as it is somewhere where they feel very comfortable.
Make sure that the child is very comfortable.
Sort out the venue so that it is where the child feels most at ease to plan.
Draw the right people together.
"Also, they need to think about who will facilitate the person-centred planning. It might be LA-trained people; or independent people coming in to do it like ourselves; or school-based staff running it. Whoever facilitates it needs to have person-centred skills that they have learned and practised. At the meeting, one person facilitates the graphics and one person runs the meeting. So, there will always be two people. If both people can't be secured from the school, then one person would be drawn from an external source.
Get some good training from us or another quality education provider – then practise, practise, practise.
Get their heads around it, read about what they are trying to do and then give it a try.
Remember, at all times, that this is a person-centred and respectful way of working – would they want the experience for themselves or their own child or loved ones?
Ensure that they have got a big visual graphic, that music is playing, that there is food and drink in the room, and that they have done everything that they can to make this as person-centred as possible.
Detail one person to work with the group and another individual to look after the graphic.
Review it with the people who were present.
Ask searching questions about what they actually felt about that experience.
Consider what might have improved it, what might have helped the child/family to feel more comfortable, and what would have enabled it to have more impact.
"On an optimistic day I think that we're moving forward. Nowadays, for example, we can confidently say that inclusion has truly embedded nationwide. In that I mean that virtually every child's impairment that can be identified is being dealt with in an inclusive way somewhere in the UK. We couldn't have said that a few years ago.
"However, it's a very different answer when you consider whether we have moved forward significantly. The fact that the number of children attending special schools hasn't gone down significantly and the creation of the pupil referral units (PRUs) reflect the fact that there is still a long way to go. So, we've gone forward in some ways and stalled and slipped back in others too. Of course, I know that there are schools that have really got hold of this and have made fantastic progress and have seen amazing things happen. So, at this point we know that it's possible and that the dream wasn't a crazy dream. But, consider all of the other movements and developments that have taken place in education with the fact that the current coalition hasn't really got behind inclusion and it's clear that any progress that we have made has stalled in some places a little bit really.
"Of course, it's important to note that there have been some quite considerable obstacles. The movement towards free schools and the academisation of the secondary school system has made it much more difficult for LAs to have any practical levers for change with local schools. So, when people have moved towards exclusion or segregation I think that it's been much more difficult than it has been in the past to marshal and challenge that, because of the changes to the LAs and the increased independence of the schools.
"One particular pitfall is falling into the trap of thinking that you are doing person-centred planning when, in fact, what you have carried out is nothing of the sort. Some people just do person-centred planning in a quite simplistic way and tick the person-centred planning box. One-page plans are a potent example of this. Because, you can very rapidly complete a one-page plan and then say that you have completed a person-centred plan. When, in fact, the reality is that this couldn't be further from the truth. It's very tempting for busy practitioners to say: 'oh well, we had a great picture of him on the front of the documents; a smiley picture and we mentioned his interests; have we done it? Let's just tick that big box'. This would be a long way short of a truly person-centred planning event, one that aims to plan for that young person and that young person's family.
"Embrace person-centred planning with all your heart, because you really will find it an enjoyable and effective way of working.
"Recently, a SENCO said to me: 'I've never known an annual review to be fun… I can see that this is going to be a lot of fun'. Following this, a child's father stopped me to say that his child had put their person-centred planning graphic on their wall. Why is this illustrative? Why is this important? It's because this critical example sheds light on the fact that this truly inclusive approach has directly led to a child placing their person-centred graphic on their wall. Can you really see a child doing the same with a statement? So, in essence, it's about having some fun and creating something that a young person is so proud of that they are happy to display it. These are good markers.
From 1989 to 2001, Colin worked in the Nottinghamshire educational psychology service as a senior psychologist and principal educational psychologist. During this period, Colin co-wrote a practical handbook entitled Managing Change in Schools. Alongside this, he led on the development of the Bulwell Vision – a community initiative to improve behaviour in a disadvantaged city area.
In 1999, Colin co-wrote Circles of Friends with author and business-partner Derek Wilson. This book was the culmination of five years of training and development work to bring an inclusive approach to the UK. In 2001, they co-founded Inclusive Solutions to promote the mainstream inclusion of all children and adults across the UK – whatever their difference, impairment or challenge. Since that time, Colin has co-written a number of additional books, the most recent of which is Keys to Inclusion.
Colin's career has been driven by many of the values that lie at the heart of person-centred planning and inclusion. Through the practical use of applied psychology in training and real-life problem solving with schools, families and individual children and young people, he has ensured that these values have been translated into real, practical, inclusive solutions 'on the ground'. Colin is a parent to two sons and a daughter.

Great for my posture, and looks great on stream.
I use this chair all of the time when I stream on Twitch, and I can honestly say I can stream for longer because it is so comfortable whilst being supportive for my back too. I really like the purple colour too, matches the Twitch branding and it's my favourite colour too. So it is a win win for me! Thanks Nitro Concepts!


Eastern North America is in the prime viewing zone for a total lunar eclipse in the evening of Feb 20th. The eclipse will also be visible in the Western US (just not the full eclipse) and Western Europe (early morning hours of Feb 21).
In EST, the eclipse will begin at 8:43 pm, be at totality from 10:01 to 10:51 pm, and conclude at 12:09 am.
For diagrams of the event and a chart for several time zones, go here.
I hope to catch this one . . . the last few celestial events we had bad weather or complete cloud cover !
I would like to watch this one, I hope I remember.
Cool!!! Looks like a good one for us in the CST, too!
Hoping for clear skies here...especially since Dancer has no school, and there isn't a problem with letting her stay up.
Tonight is the night! Clear Skies, everyone!
I know it's only lunch time but it's high and hazy here.
It is cloudy and it is supposed to snow tonight . . .
Cloudy here. It's supposed to show early tomorrow morning. I'd only have to get up about two hours earlier than usual, but I doubt I'll bother. The cloud cover is solid.
Maybe I can get a glimpse before it supposedly snows! Queeeee!
We're supposed to get another big storm starting tonight - the Weather Channel already has a Winter Storm Watch for tomorrow. We do not NEED another ice storm!
Kibbie just went out to chech if it had cleared up or not.
It has not cleared up so we will not be watching it this time. Oh well thare is always next time.
Yay! It's cleared up here!
Maw, it's worth checking every 30 min or so to see if it's cleared, you just might get to see part of it -- remember it lasts until midnight.
We were supposed to be cloudy but it is clear!
Kibbie caught a glimps of it for a few min., but then it got cloudy again.
I'm glad she at least got a peek. You know what they say, "it ain't over til it's over! Maybe there'll be another break in the clouds before it ends.
I was able to watch part of it while driving ds#1 home from his counseling apointment before the clouds covered it up.
It was here at 3am and it was cloudy when I went to bed- I missed it.
It was fairlly clear here for it and I got to go out and check on it several times. Was nice to see, but the moon stayed bright and shiny. Last one I saw the moon turned VERY red, which was eerie to watch.
Deb your picture is beautiful! I got a crick in my neck just staring at it so I changed to just looking a few minutes then going back inside then out again. The promised clouds held off until the shadow began to move off then they moved in for good and are still raining this morning.
It was beautiful. We watched it at several stages. The colors ranged from a yellow, to orange, to a coppery color. Always amazing to watch.
Total clouds all night with rain around 3:30am - light rain and spitting ice - they still predict snow for tomorrow IF it develops . . .
I losts count of the number of pictures Nick took.
I got to see it after all! The storm didn't come until later.
I saw it around 9 pm CST, when it was just looking red on one side, and looked again an hour or two later and saw a really great view with a distinct crescent and the red shadow covering the rest! Even with all the bright lights on campus I got a good look when I shielded my eyes from them.
I really thought I was going to miss it!
I did go outside and look at it a little bit, but it was just too cold to stay outside for a long period of time. The skies were clear, and I had a nice view from my driveway, but I'm not crazy enough to stay outside for longer than I have to when the temperature is in the single digits.
My father took some pictures on his way home from work, but he hasn't uploaded them to his computer yet, so I can't take the images from him yet.
Drat, drat, drat ...it was raining Elephants here...and there wasn't even a star in the sky for me...let alone the moon. Well at least there were tons of photos of it on the news...and it was fantastic looking by all acounts. Well maybe next time I think they said it would be the year 2010 when it happens again....keeping my fingers crossed now, maybe that will help by then!!!
P.S. Thanks Deb for that great photo!!!
Got clouded out here. Then we had an ice storm.

If you installed SecureDrop before the release of SecureDrop 0.12.0, the operating system on your SecureDrop servers is now out of date and must be upgraded before April 30, 2019. See Upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 below.
If you have not already done so, we recommend that you update all Tails drives to version 3.12.1, which was released on February 13, 2019. Follow the Tails graphical prompts on your workstations to perform this upgrade.
The graphical updater uses keyservers to obtain the release signing key. If the graphical updater fails, it may be due to a keyserver not being reachable. You can try again, or you can perform the manual procedure outlined below (you may have to run the --recv-key command repeatedly for it to work).
If you do see the warning "refname '0.12.0' is ambiguous" in the output, we recommend that you contact us immediately at securedrop@freedom.press (GPG encrypted).
As part of the the automatic update to SecureDrop 0.12.0, the default Linux kernel will change to the latest released kernel (version 4.4.167).
SecureDrop installations set up prior to the release of SecureDrop 0.12.0 use Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) as the base operating system. Trusty was released in April 2014, and as part of the standard Long Term Support (LTS) cycle, it will no longer receive security updates after April 30, 2019.
After the 0.12.x series, updates to SecureDrop itself will only be issued to systems running Ubuntu 16.04.
It is therefore of critical importance that you upgrade your servers to Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial). Once you are running SecureDrop 0.12.0, you are ready to upgrade. However, we recommend that you wait until at least March 6 before you perform the upgrade, to allow for changes to this documentation based on the first set of assisted upgrades we will perform.
Before then, we strongly recommend following the steps outlined in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) migration - Preparatory steps.
Upgrading in place. This method can be performed remotely without physical access to the servers. It requires significant downtime, and you may encounter upgrade-related prompts specific to your configuration which we have not documented, especially if you are using hardware not in our set of hardware recommendations.
Backing up your data and restoring it to a new installation. This method requires that you have physical access to the servers and hardware firewall you wish to use for the new installation. If you perform the new installation against redundant hardware, you can minimize downtime by following this method.
Should you require further support with your SecureDrop installation or the upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, we are happy to help!
If you are already a member of our support portal, please don't hesitate to open a ticket there. If you would like to request access, please contact us at securedrop@freedom.press (GPG encrypted).

First, the game is ahead of its time. Instead of being linear, it is much more choose-your own-adventure as you can decide which locale fits your venture capitalism tastes. This is where the blended reality begins: the places to select are real life locations, but the map represents them on some sort of Pangea continent. This anachronistic approach made it hard for me to keep the story straight, feverishly taking character development notes on a legal pad on my desk.
Within moments, as multiple synthesizers are layered to support the licks n' riffs of a solo guitar (???), our autonomic nervous system ramps up and brings us to new heights. Thus, begins the adventure for that green cheese of longevity. The gameplay is pretty simple: explore with your two moves and get the treasure. The game offers very little in the way of variety outside of this, and where it tries to get tricky, it only seems to disorient more.
McDuck using his best move: a pogo-cane-stomp to rule the animal kingdom physically and financially.
Some of the enemy sprites show up in multiple locations, but no one bothered to change the colors for them to fit in with their new environment.
There is a hidden outcome of the game that you can achieve through specific steps but not accessible via normal means.
The auxiliary characters, such as your nephews (Hewey, Dewey, and Louie) or Luanchpad MacQuack, serve no purpose and sometimes confuse with their dialogue (which I have to admit is to be expected from an adolescent duck being held against their will in a vampire manor).
All in all, I think this game more so harkens back to a time when a video game did not have to be as polished or make much sense to be good. While we expect video games today to be entirely consistent in story and form, back then it was good enough just to be fun. Probably just enough gameplay to be entertaining for a weekend, Duck Tales for the NES is worth it, if only for the important message that $ = love.
I don't know what's worse: the message that he only loves them because they helped him make money, or the fact that they didn't help at all and he is boosting a false sense of self-worth.


text: Q: How can I force Spark to keep each (key, Array[T]) on a different partition? I have an RDD with key value pairs, where values are arrays of a type. I would like for each such key (keys are uniques here) value pair to be on a separate partition, so that Yarn can properly schedule tasks on different nodes with proper load balancing. How can I force Spark to do so. I can use repartition, but that is not solving my problem. I can still see 2 key value pairs on some partititions even when the number of partitions I set is more than the number of key value pairs.

-- Jor-Il src
Kal-Il is Ultraman, the last son of Krypton from Earth 3 and a member of the Crime Syndicate.
Kal-Il is the last Kryptonian of his universe and the vicious leader of the Crime Syndicate.
Born on Krypton, through the machinations of his father Jor-Il, a mysterious being came to the planet and began a process that would lead to its destruction. Thanks to a shooting spree, Jor-Il was able to secure a life pod for his son, whom he regarded as his best chance of revenge.
Rocketing to Earth, Kal-Il was inundated with ideology and moralizing, warning him to be the strongest possible being, eschewing all weakness in himself and in others. His rocket crash-landed in Smallville, Kansas, right through the roof of the home of Johnny and Martha Kent. Kal-Il gained power from the Kryptonite and forced the couple to be his parents, staying with them until he was seven years old, at which point he killed them and burned their farm to the ground. Over the following years, Kal-Il took the name Ultraman and began his pursuits of taking over Earth by murdering the President of the United States and forming the Crime Syndicate. During this time, Ultraman had a dysfunctional relationship with his teammate Superwoman. Unknown to him, Superwoman had a secret affair with Owlman.
Unfortunately for Ultraman and the Crime Syndicate, their stranglehold over the planet was pried loose by the arrival of the being who destroyed Earth just as it had destroyed Krypton.[1] At that same moment, the fabric between universes was weakened by the actions of another powerful being on another universe, thus he, along with the rest of the members of the Crime Syndicate, sought to escape to that other universe and were trapped in an interdimensional Limbo for five years, with only Alfred and Atomica successfully crossing. Going by The Outsider, Alfred created the Secret Society of Super-Villains which manipulated the heroes of that universe into reaching him the Pandora's Box in order to open it, allowing the Crime Syndicate to finally enter the Prime universe.
After disposing the Justice League and their allies, the Crime Syndicate declared Prime Earth their's and forced some of the native villains into joining them, in which Ultraman enforced their legitimacy by killing Monocle when the latter claimed that the Crime Syndicate was simply the Justice League in disguise. Noticing the rising sun, Ultraman moved the Earth's moon in front of the sun to eclipse the Crime Syndicate's section of Earth in order to protect himself from the sun's rays.[2] Once settled, Ultraman and his Syndicate were making their plans when Grid informed him of the uprising in Kahndaq. Before leaving, he took a look at their prisoner to which Alfred informed that was sedated and thus harmless. Owlman wondered why they just don't kill him to which Ultraman replied that they may need him against the destroyer of their world, sustaining his claim even with Superwoman agreeing with Owlman.[3]
On his way to Kahndaq, Ultraman took a detour to The Daily Planet where he threatened its staff members in order to "test" them. When confronted by that world's version of Lois Lane, Ultraman realized that she is not the same Lois he knows and he told her that he wanted to get rid of Superwoman for a long time but that would leave him without a suitable mother for his child, but now that he found this Lois he can do whatever he wants with her. Before Ultraman could do anything to her, Black Adam arrived and battled him,[1] but was nonetheless defeated by Ultraman.[4] Arriving to Kahndaq, he forcefully took Metallo's Kryptonite heart to strengthen himself when he was approached by Superwoman who revealed him her pregnancy. After overhearing Owlman talking to Nightwing about his plan to take down Ultraman, Superwoman tells him that Owlman will eventually betray the Syndicate and that he has to stay strong for their unborn child, but Ultraman stated that he stays strong only for himself and no one else.[5]
When Power Ring was killed by Sinestro, his ring sent vibrations through the Multiverse which drawn the attention of the one who destroyed the Syndicate's world, prompting Ultraman and his team to prepare in anticipation of the incoming threat.[6] As they prepared for the threat, the Injustice League, led by Lex Luthor took this opportunity to attack them and inadvertently freed the Syndicate's prisoner and enemy Alexander Luthor, who intended to kill the Crime Syndicate.[7]
As the surviving members of the Syndicate tried to stop the now free Mazahs, Superwoman chose this time to reveal to her teammates that she had been working with Mazahs for all this time, as he is her lover and the real father of her unborn child, saying she chose Mazahs because he is stronger than Ultraman. An enraged Ultraman fought Mazahs, regretting not killing him when he had the chance before tiring from lack of Kryptonite and deciding to let the Injustice League finish him off. After Alex Luthor is killed and Superwoman took out, Ultraman attacked Luthor and nearly kills him, but Sinestro and Black Adam removed the eclipse Ultraman created and thereby weakened him with sunlight. After being humiliated by Lex, Ultraman begged him to kill him but Lex refused, saying that he will let him stay this way, knowing he is the weakest man on the planet in body and mind. Ultraman was eventually imprisoned by the Justice League.[8]
Ultraman was later set free from his imprisonment by the combined efforts of Cyborg and Power Ring, (who had both been possessed by Grid and Volthoom, respectively), to enlist his help in defeating Mobius, also known as the Anti-Monitor, who was the same being that destroyed Ultraman's Earth.[9] Ultraman was then given a chunk of Kryptonite to eat by the Justice League to empower him in the battle against Mobius.[10] Ultraman later viciously assaulted Mobius, landing several punches all the while explaining how he would brutally kill him. Unfortunately for Ultraman, Mobius proved stronger, and vaporized Ultraman with a concentrated blast of antimatter, killing him.[10]
Kryptonian Physiology: The Kryptonians of Earth 3 evolved to the point where they could gain great power from the radiation of their planet. The radioactive remains of Krypton give an even greater power to Ultraman who can absorb and process that radiation inside his own body to gain an immense array of abilities.[1]
Kryptonite Radiation Absorption: Ultraman's cellular structure allowed him to absorb, store and metabolize Green Kryptonite to fuel all of his abilities. He can do this by either eating it[1] or inhaling it after turning the mineral to dust.[2]
Ultrastrength: Ultraman was capable of effortlessly move an object as big as the moon to eclipse the sun even after being slightly weakened by it,[2] break bones,[1] defeat Black Adam in combat,[4] and hold his own against Mazahs even after the latter had absorbed the powers of several members of the Crime Syndicate, but Luthor was still able to overpower him.[8] He was strong enough to injure the Anti-Monitor to the point of making him bleed, although ultimately not as strong as him.[10]
Invulnerability: Ultraman's body was extremely impervious to harm, he could endure being pummeled through many buildings by Black Adam, with the latter being unable to tear him apart,[1] and was unfazed when he was struck by the "Shazam" lightning (but it was still capable of making him bleed).[4] His invulnerability has its limits, and the Anti-Monitor was able to vaporize and kill Ultraman in seconds with a concentrated blast of antimatter.[10]
Ultrastamina: Ultraman's stamina was dependent on the quantity of Green Kryptonite his body's cells absorb, thus the more Green Kryptonite he absorbs the longer he can use his abilities.[4]
Flight: Ultraman could defy gravity and fly at incredible speeds.
Ultraspeed: Ultraman was fast enough to fly from the Earth's surface to the moon's orbit in a matter of seconds.[2]
Ultrabreath: Ultraman's lungs could store and blow air with hurricane forces.[1]
Heat Vision: Ultraman's eyes can emit beams of concentrated heat that are hot enough to vaporize minerals[2] and calcinate human flesh.[1]
Enhanced Senses: Ultraman's senses were augmented to the point that he could hear things like the signal of Jimmy Olsen's superwatch[1] and a little heartbeat in Superwoman's womb.[5]
Vulnerability to Sunlight: The radiation of Earth's yellow sun breaks down the Kryptonite radioactivity flourishing within Ultraman's cells,[1] thus eliminating all of his ultrahuman abilities while leaving him on a weakened and emaciated state.[8]
Green Kryptonite Depletion: When deprived of Green Kryptonite to empower him, Ultraman's abilities would slowly begin to fade, thus requiring Ultraman to recharge.[4][8]
Ultraman was created by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky, first appearing in Justice League of America #29. However, in the Prime Earth continuity Ultraman first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in Justice League (Volume 2) #23 by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis.
Traditionally, Kryptonians are only affected by Kryptonite of their own native universe. This doesn't seem the case for Kal-Il since he can be empowered by the Kryptonite of both his home universe and the Prime universe.

Questions for minister for Business and Enterprise re: Data Centres and Israel
Home Page // Business Enterprise and Innovation // Questions for minister for Business and Enterprise re: Data Centres and Israel
Business Enterprise and Innovation, Oral Questions
QUESTION: To ask the Minister for Business; Enterprise and Innovation the steps the IDA is taking as part of its efforts to attract data centre investment to ensure that the climate effects of locating data centres here will be fully mitigated by those companies it is courting to build here in view of the goal of ramping up the construction of data centres.
I can assure the Deputy that IDA Ireland is sensitive to the potential environmental impact of all forms of foreign direct investment (FDI).
Data centres have taken major steps in recent years to reduce their carbon footprint and are now among the largest and most significant users of renewable energy. In 2018, IDA Ireland commissioned a report by Grant Thornton which examined the impact of data centres on the Irish economy. In addition to an overall economic contribution of €7.13bn since 2010, the report indicated that 85% of the data centres studied were already investing in power from renewable sources and 15% indicated that they were generating renewable energy onsite. Over 75% of data centre respondents were investing in two or more renewable energy initiatives, while over 60% were investing in energy efficient facilities and equipment.
In addition, IDA Ireland has taken steps to help its data centre and other clients to mitigate their carbon footprint. For example, in 2018 the Agency introduced its 'Go Green' Business Offer, which outlines the main national support programmes that are available to adopt green business principles, improve sustainability and drive energy efficiencies. These supports are provided by agencies including IDA Ireland, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The IDA's support programmes to reduce carbon emissions now include its Environmental Aid, Green Plus and Green Start programmes. These are being actively marketed across the Agency's client base, including to data centre operators.
QUESTION: To ask the Minister for Business; Enterprise and Innovation the extra scrutiny undertaken when assessing applications for the export of category 5 dual use items to states with a record of oppression and human rights abuses such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Israel.
The European Union operates an export control framework to prevent the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, to promote regional stability and to protect human rights. The framework regulates exports of Dual-use items. Dual-use items are goods and technology that can be used in both civil and military applications. The framework is given legal effect by Council Regulation (EC) No. 428/2009 setting up a Union regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items. This regulation has direct legal effect in all Member States of the EU. My Department is the national competent authority in Ireland with responsibility for the implementation of this regulation.
Exports of Category 5 "Telecommunications and Information Security" dual-use items from Ireland are predominantly back-office IT systems e.g. data storage, networking, cybersecurity. They are classed as dual-use items by virtue of the fact that they incorporate strong encryption for data security purposes.
Applications for export licences in respect of dual-use goods are subject to rigorous scrutiny by my officials and are assessed against the criteria set out in the Dual-use Regulation. There is a particular focus on the end-user within the country of destination. As part of their application, companies are required to submit a Certificate, signed by the end-user, stating the purpose for which the item to be exported will be used. My officials also consult an EU database to check if similar licence applications have been denied by another EU member state.
My officials apply the criteria set out in Council Common Position 2008/944/CFSP when assessing applications for Dual-use licences. Criterion 2 in particular, specifies consideration of "Respect for human rights in the country of final destination as well as respect by that country of international humanitarian law".
My officials consult with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in respect of export licence applications for sensitive destinations, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel, seeking observations on any foreign policy or human rights concerns that may arise in respect of a proposed export. Such considerations are subject to constant review in the light of developments in a particular regions.

Films That Time Forgot – Holes (2003)
Date: 17 February, 2022Author: Niall Gray 0 Comments
While many films stand the test of time, others fade into obscurity. Whether this happens over a period of years or almost instantly upon a film's release, each of these titles have slipped through the cracks of our collective memory to join the ranks of the Films That Time Forgot.
Based on the 1998 novel by Louis Sachar, Holes is a family friendly neo-Western comedy-drama that's far better than it has any right to be. Sachar himself returned to write the screenplay, which certainly helps keep the film's narrative cohesive, but Holes is a film that comes together beautifully to make for quality entertainment. How is it then that it remains a somewhat obscure title lost among Disney's back catalogue of live-action '00s films?
Starring a young Shia LaBeouf in his film debut, Holes tells the story of Stanley Yelnats IV, a young boy who blames a family curse for his constant misfortune. When that bad luck sees Stanley sent to a work camp for a crime he didn't commit, he unwittingly finds himself in the position to lift the curse and solve a century-old mystery.
LaBeouf appears alongside an ensemble cast including Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Patricia Arquette, Tim Blake Nelson, Henry Winkler, Dulé Hill, Rick Fox, and Siobhan Fallon Hogan, and with so many famous faces, it's hard to believe that Holes hasn't stuck around in our collective memory. It's not just the film's cast that should make it memorable, though.
Holes' story is one that twists in an out of the present day, with Stanley's story intertwined with that of Camp Green Lake and 19th century outlaw Katherine "Kissin' Kate" Barlow. Its desert setting allows for some visually arresting locales, making Holes both narratively engaging and aesthetically intriguing.
Owing mostly to Sachar's writing, Holes is filled with small, clever moments of foreshadowing and seemingly throwaway lines that become far more significant upon rewatching. This allows for its story to come to neat, logical, and satisfying conclusion, also making it a film with high rewatch value.
Against a $20 million budget, Holes earned $71.4 million at the box office. While this only made the film a moderate box office success, its cast, story, and skewing towards family audiences should have cemented Holes a place in the hearts and minds of audiences, but it simply didn't land as it should have.
This is a shame, because Holes offers an experience that's entertaining for the whole family, and it's a genuinely and objectively good film. Critical response to Holes at the time of release was good, too – Roger Ebert even gave it 3.5 of four stars – which makes its gentle fade into obscurity all the more undeserved.
Holes being all but forgotten could perhaps be the work of a curse similar to that in the film, although admittedly, it's more than likely just bad luck for a good film.
Summary: A family adventure akin to a much dustier version of The Goonies, Holes is an unforgettable film that's somehow been forgotten.
Highlights: Small lines of seemingly inconsequential dialogue that turn out to be plot points in diguise makes Holes a rewarding film to rewatch even almost two decades after its release.

Governance Now on Thursday bagged the REACH Media Awards for 2017-2018 for best reporting (English category) on tuberculosis (TB) at an event co-hosted by REACH, USAID and Lilly Global Health in partnership with the Lancet Commission on Tuberculosis.
Our cover story 'How caregivers are falling prey to Tuberculosis' (published in June 1-15, 2016 issue) by Geetanjali Minhas and Sakshi Kuchroo was recognised on the occasion.
The story was about how doctors and health workers who are treating TB patients are falling prey to the disease itself making the fight against TB more difficult.
This is the second time Governance Now has won this award. Prior to this, in March 2016, special correspondent Sonal Matharu's incisive reportage on how tuberculosis and silicosis are silently killing people in a Jharkhand village (published in the December 1 issue of Governance Now) won her the prestigious award for 2015.
Sonal reported how the state-run programmes are running short of expectations to deal with tuberculosis cases in a village where people mostly work in dust-raising industries.
Arun Kumar Jha, economic advisor, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, lauded REACH's efforts in amplifying media reportage on TB. "In India, where health-seeking behaviour is low, we need to encourage people to seek health care services through responsible journalism. We need to involve local newspapers more in these efforts," he said.
A new publication, 'Keeping TB in the News: A toolkit for health advocates', documenting REACH's work with the media over eight years, was released on the occasion.
Also speaking on the occasion, Mr Mark White, Mission Director, USAID/India, congratulated the journalists as they have stood for truth, accuracy, fairness and humanity. He urged TB survivors to keep being the change agents. "It would be a lost opportunity to overlook the integral role survivors play in achieving shared goals. When they share their powerful stories about challenges and when journalists report them, it can help identify and address programme gaps. TB is not an issue to be hidden and whispered about behind closed doors. It is not a taboo. It needs to be reported on and discussed in the mainstream media," he said.
REACH is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the fight against TB for two decades.

Giuseppe Nirta insieme ai suoi fratelli Antonio, Francesco e Sebastiano governò la 'ndrina dei Nirta La Maggiore.
Fu un importante membro della Commissione provinciale.

Fu arrestato nell'Operazione Aspromonte nel 1992 insieme ad altre 33 persone, ma a causa della sua età avanzata gli furono concessi gli arresti domiciliari. Prima che si potesse fare un processo fu comunque ucciso a Bianco, in casa sua alle 5 del pomeriggio del 19 marzo 1995 con cinque colpi alla testa.

Il figlio Bruno Nirta era imputato nello stesso processo.

Il 24 gennaio 2013 è stato assassinato a Roma, nel quartiere Trigoria, il genero sessantasettenne Vincenzo Femia, marito della figlia Annunziata Nirta. Il pluripregiudicato calabrese era uno dei punti cardine della cosca nella capitale. Per il genero di "don Peppe Nirta, già a capo della cosca Nirta-Scalzone, tra le più potenti e carismatiche di tutti i tempi storico mafiosi" la Questura di Reggio Calabria ha imposto i funerali all'alba del 30 gennaio 2013 in forma rigorosamente privata con la sola partecipazione dei più intimi familiari.

One year following the inaugural Set on Freedom retreat, the works presented in this exhibition and accompanying program series, Set on Freedom, were created during the artists' work to foster an inclusionary and mutually-supportive artistic community. Acting as self-disciplined cultural organizers during this process, the exhibiting artists have explored their own representations of race, gender, sexuality, and love, de-centering whiteness and imagining radical systems of progress to uplift themselves as queer artists of color.
Abandoned Margins: Policing the Black Female Body - Representations of black women in US popular culture and public discourse frequently depict them stereotypically as overweight and asexual (or hypersexualized) and in need of less protection, but more policing for moral failures. The black female body then becomes an object in the faces of power, brutality, and fetishism– detached from the name and genuine identity it belongs to.
"Abandoned Margins" seeks to both lay bare this inequitable and sectarian lens, as well as create an empowering visual language that challenges the supremacist systems under which black female bodies are marginalized and lack agency.
