I suspect Smith wanted to up the competition level for our recruits (possibly at the price of losing one of them). If our boys keep up this level of production, I might become a Chicago Steel fan.
I fear GF will be poached or have to fend off alot of offers to keep his word.

India is a feminine country but a major portion of the feminine India is facing challenges in starting a career with self-driven business. The challenge of women entrepreneurship is multi-sided and hugely discussed. In order to push this area, our expert team has done an immense research on the traditional challenges. Hence, we are sharing some well-researched solutions, over this write-up. Let's get an idea about the things that you should not forget while applying for a business loan. There are many lending institutions spread across the country which are actively engaged in women entrepreneurship. It is very tough for the women to explore the best option among the wide range of options. That's why the exploration of the best-suited lending option is considered as one of the most important stages of loan disbursement.
The best advantage of women specified loans is that they are consists of comparatively lower interest rates. Some lenders offer their loans exclusively designed for women, by making the process of verification and availability of business finance easier, for the purpose of their business encouragement. Sometimes they also do not require collateral and even guarantors on loans to make themselves as the first preference by the women entrepreneurs. The selection of lending scheme is considered as another important option. While applying for a loan, you should ask a question. Is it suitable to my changing needs? Your first concern should not be related to the authenticity of the organization, but the pros and cons of targeted loan. The authenticity concern comes next. We request you to trust those lenders which are going up with a good reputation in the industry to avoid being cheated.
Also see: How Can A Women Entrepreneur Choose Her Business Domain Effectively?
While comparing the lending options, you are supposed to make the use of EMI calculator for calculating your EMI. Various lending institutions have different criteria, interest rates, loan-tenures, for women. After knowing all options you should determine your monthly EMI amount by using a business loan EMI calculator. This is easy to use and help you to choose the best options through calculations. Women can push themselves to entrepreneurial success with an absolute and accurate plan on how to utilize the cash. The government of India and many private lenders are promoting the women entrepreneurship by providing (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) loans. MSME loan help women by giving them fund for their daily business expenses, buy machinery, and also to expand their business. By these types of loans, they may open a new business like a beauty parlor, baby care center, body fitness point, catering service etc.

Cape Cod groups slam delay in Vineyard Wind approval process
John Basile jbasile@wickedlocal.com @jbasileRegister
Vineyard Wind's plan to be the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm in the nation may have hit a delay at the federal level, but support for the project among environmental and business groups remains solid.
At an event held Aug. 15 at Cape Cod Community College's Lorusso Applied Technology Building a dozen organizations, led by the Association to preserve Cape Cod, expressed continued support for the 84-turbine project.
Recently, the U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Ocecan Energy Management put a freeze on an environmental impact statement for Vineyard Wind. The agencies said they want to study the impacts of an offshore wind industry that is just taking shape.
Andrew Gottlieb, the APCC's executive director, sharply criticized the Trump administration's decision to subject the Vineyard Wind project to additional study. He said the delay is a "broadside threat to the overall development of sustainable wind energy off the coast across the country. You have to worry that the actions by this administration on this particular project will put a chill in the investment community upon which all future wind development relies."
Gottlieb said the Trump administration's actions continue a reliance on "dirty fuels" that lead to the degradation of the climate and problems such as storm frequency and increased erosion rates.
Gottlieb said the federal government's response to climate change is, "this perverse use of processes that were really intended to protect the environment and the public health and are actually being twisted to harm the public health and the environment."
Wendy Northcross, CEO of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, said Vineyard Wind stands to be a"job creator, requiring an entirely new supply chain that will build and then maintain these wind facilities and that brings thousands of jobs to the eastern United States.
"We feel that we are on the cusp of launching an important new industry not only for our region but for the United States. This is an industry that will strengthen our nation and insure future energy independence for generations to come," Northcross said.
"We live in a region that feels the effects of climate change first. Barnstable County ranked third in the nation for the cost to protect our public infrastructure from rising seas."
Northcross said the cost to do so could reach $7 billion.
Her point was emphasized by David Borrus, Business Manager for the the Pile Drivers Local Union 56, who was accompanied by more than a dozen workmen, and stressed that projects such as Vineyard Wind represent the potential for many high-paying jobs.
Northcross also said Cape Cod is at the end of an energy pipeline.
"We pay some of the highest costs in the nation and the reliability of that system is ginger at best, so we would like to improve that."
Northcross said the Chamber is outraged at the delay.
"We think we are long past the time for study," Northcross said.
Jack Clarke, representing the Massachusetts Audubon Society, said his organization, and many others around the county, call on the Trump Administration to release the final Environmental Impact Statement for the Vineyard Wind project.
"We see offshore wind energy as mitigation against climate change. It's about moving America forward; whether it's energy dominance, which we hear coming out of Washington, or energy independence that we hear from a lot of people."
Clarke criticized the National Marine Fisheries Service, which he said is behind the delay because it wants a cumulative environmental impact statement. Clarke said the NMFS says it has concerns about potential impacts on fisheries.
"If the National Marine Fisheries Service has issues regarding the cumulative impact on commercial fisheries, they should have released the generic environmental impact report 40 years ago before they promulgated regulations that led to the collapse of the ground fishery."
Clarke added that if this project is delayed, "it will harm further investments and interest from around the world in developing offshore [wind] in the United States."
Cape Cod Community College President John Cox said the college stands ready to train people to work in the emerging offshore wind industry with a course in renewable energy and a certificate program, "to support workforce development associated with this initiative."
Cox said the college sees this as a way to help the so-called Blue Economy initiative on Cape Cod, which aims to position to Cape as a place where tourism is centered around the natural environment.
Speakers representing Cape Air, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Barnstable Town Council, the Center for Coastal Studies, the Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative, the Faith Communities Environmental Network, the Sierra Club Cape Cod Chapter and the Cape Cod Technology Council also spoke in support of Vineyard Wind.
Support from the south
Three Republican members of Congress from Louisiana joined five federal lawmakers from Massachusetts on Monday in calling on the Trump administration to study the burgeoning offshore wind industry and its potential consequences quickly and without putting the Vineyard Wind project in peril.
On Monday, the State House News Service reported that four senators and four representatives from the two states sent a letter late last week to the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Commerce about the plan to withhold the final environmental impact statement for Vineyard Wind while the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management studies the wider impacts of an offshore wind industry that is hoping to quickly ramp up along the Northeast and mid-Atlantic coastline.
The letter was signed by U.S. Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy of Louisiana, and U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts, U.S. Reps. Richard Neal, William Keating and Joseph Kennedy III of Massachusetts and U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana.
"We respect the need to do a cumulative impact analysis and understand the precedent this project will establish for permitting future offshore wind energy projects. It is important the Departments consider concerns and evaluate all options to mitigate impacts to the New England commercial fishing industry and the environment. However, we also believe it is possible for multiple industries to coexist in mixed use offshore regions," the lawmakers wrote. "Therefore, we encourage your agencies to judiciously evaluate these questions to identify necessary steps to address any concerns, finalize the supplemental EIS promptly, and mitigate any additional delay that may threaten the overall project."
Members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation have been working with Gov. Charlie Baker and Vineyard Wind to remedy concerns about the project, which was selected by the state and utility companies to fulfill part of a 2016 clean energy law.
Officials from Vineyard Wind, a joint venture of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid Renewables, seeking to build the wind farm 15 miles South of Martha's Vineyard, said in July that the entire project would be at risk if the federal government did not issue the final environmental impact statement by the end of August.

Q: Problems with iOS 6 and UIActivityIndicator in a UINavigationBar titleView been having problems with this since iOS 6.  I can't really figure out whats changed that would cause this behavior.  This used to work perfectly in 5. Now the activity indicator doesn't come up timely or at all.  Any help would be much appreciated.
-(void)myMethod
{
    UIView *currentTitleView = [[self navigationItem] titleView];

    // Create an activity indicator and start it spinning in the nav bar
    UIActivityIndicatorView *aiview = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]     initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];

    [[self navigationItem] setTitleView:aiview];
    [aiview startAnimating];

    // Start of Block code
    void (^block)(arg1, arg2) =
    ^(arg1, arg2)
    {
       block code;
       [aiview stopAnimating];
       [[self navigationItem] setTitleView:currentTitleView];
    };
// End of Block code

}

A: It sounds like myMethod is being called from a background thread.  As a general rule, all interactions with UIKit elements (which includes UIActivityIndicatorView) should always be done on the main thread.  Try using GCD to move the UI code to the main queue (a.k.a. main thread).
-(void)myMethod {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        UIView *currentTitleView = [[self navigationItem] titleView];

        // Create an activity indicator and start it spinning in the nav bar
        UIActivityIndicatorView *aiview = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]     initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];

As I wrote recently, the dark side of the basic income proposal is that it privileges citizens over non-citizens. Perhaps this dark side is mitigated a bit if every nation-state in the world enacts a basic income, but there'd still be horrible inequalities between nations. However, in this post I want to argue that this kind of inequality is better than the status quo: "second-best" ideal theorizing… with a dash of public choice caution for good measure.

Around half of global copper demand is from the electronics industry and roughly one quarter finds application in building and construction. The remainder find its way into industrial machinery, consumer products and – important in terms of growth potential – the vehicle market, specifically electric vehicles.
Vehicles with conventional internal combustion engines typically contain about 20 kilograms of copper. For electric vehicles the copper load is up to 80 kilograms (and increased quantities of cobalt, nickel, manganese).
Almost all carmakers are increasing investment in electric vehicles as governments adopt tighter emissions targets, he added.
In a recent report consultants McKinsey forecast that barring large-scale substitution by aluminum and other materials or a significant increase in recycling, primary copper demand could potentially grow to 31 million tonnes by 2035 as per capita usage rates in emerging markets, particularly in China, approach levels in developed economies. The prediction represent more than 40% growth from today's annual demand levels of around 22 million tonnes.

Learning through Wonder
By Angela Brown for AACE Review, September 5th 2019
"Wonder is a state of radical attention and openness to the world around us." Caspar Henderson – A new map of wonders – a journey in search of modern marvels
The Innovating Pedagogy Report 2019 (The Open University in collaboration with the Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (SLATE), University of Bergen, Norway) identified Learning through wonder – sparking curiosity, investigation and discovery as one of ten emerging approaches in education.
Following on from Stefanie Panke's post Innovating Pedagogy 2019: Learning can be wonderful! I creaked open a cabinet of curiosities to gaze deeper into some of the resources about learning through wonder in the report. I found a few extra wondrous resources too.
I hope these lead you into your own expeditions to learn through wonder.
Approaching wonder
The Innovating Pedagogy 2019 report shares five phases of wonder from the doctoral thesis by Dr Matthew McFall (2014).
Anticipation: a sense that something is going to happen and a desire to know more.
Encounter: the moment of experiencing the wondrous.
Investigation: pursuit of the wondrous, to understand it better or to continue the experience.
Discovery: coming to understand, or realise how much more there is to know.
Propagation: continued working with this wonder, to share and celebrate.
Finding inspiration
McFall designed learning activities for wondrous learning within primary schools in the UK. He describes how his investigations began, based on his own love of stage magic. His full thesis, Using Heritages and Practices of Wonder To Design a Primary-School-Based Intervention has lots of nooks and crannies to explore. McFall also explains a little about his approach to wonder in the video Amazing people: the wonder room.
Learning through wonder already has a valued tradition within early childhood education. Can we bring this sense of wonder into adult learning too?
I began looking for resources aimed at wonder for older learners.
A great book to explore is A New Map of Wonders: A Journey in Search of Modern Marvels by Caspar Hendersen. Hendersen describes the process of writing a book about wonder by linking seemingly unconnected observations which all began with observing a patch on sunlight on a wall in his kitchen.
There are sections in A New Map of Wonders that ponder the future of technology including artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, quantum computing and the wonder and mystery of the human brain.
What triggers wonder?
Both McFall and Henderson seem to trace their inspiration about wonder, to a triggering event of fascination.
I wandered next onto Wonderopolis: which was mentioned in the Innovating Pedagogy report.
A characteristic of Wonderopolis is that it starts with great questions. Wonderopolis seems to me to be like a contemporary version of a book I loved as a child.
I remember my neighbors giving me a book when I was aged seven. Their teenage son had "grown out of it". It was an old book written in the 1960s called Every Child's Answer Book by Mary Elting. (Elting, Mary Every Child's Answer Book, Illustrations by Tran Mawicke, Odhams Press Limited, Long Acre, London, 1964.)
The format was a question and answer on each page with simple line illustrations. It was about all sorts of things, from rockets, geography, the human body and technology. They were real questions that children had asked.
Why do stars twinkle? Why do cats' eyes shine at night? What is the sound barrier? Why does frost on windows look like ferns?
Mary Elting, and her way of answering questions created even more big questions in my young mind. The curious thing about the book was that the answers did not tell you the answer. They were mostly speculative. They invoked fascination.
As a child, I vividly remember reading the answer to Why do you yawn?
In explaining the physiology of yawning, and the end of the page the text read "You may be yawning now, just from reading this!". I really was yawning at that precise moment. I quickly closed the book, almost frightened. It had seemed very much like magic. How could the technology of paper – a book, do this?
Techno-wonder
I felt an intense feeling of wonder the first time I saw 3D volumetric display at a Maker Faire. Adults and children were gathered around in awe. Regardless of age, we all had the same question. How does this work?
I also witnessed wonder through technology the first time I showed children a micro:bit and Scratch project. Micro-controllers use Bluetooth and so can be easily hidden inside everyday objects, like Lego or cardboard. Hidden workings seem to help create an initial sense of wonder with technology.
Our responses to 3D holograms, micro:bits and books seemed similar despite the gulf between these technologies. There were gasps. Rapidly fired passionate questions said aloud. Frown-lines of thought. Utter delight. How does it do that?
Remembering these moments, these are the launch points where wonder sparks curiosity.
Your turn to wonder
Reflecting on McFall's phases of wonder, I realise now that I could have intentionally designed those technology experiences to leverage anticipation, and follow on with phases of investigation, discovery and propagation to lead onto learning from those precious moments of not understanding a new technology.
I will try to explore some of the phases of wonder in my own practices as a Learning Designer. I hope you will discover your own trigger for wonder – what will you notice?

I recommend the book "Iris Exiled: A Synoptic History of Wonder" by Dennis Quinn. The book is out of print, however, there are still copies available at Amazon. This book is a master work. Following is the book description at Amazon:
Iris Exiled is a critical history of wonder from the Bible and Homer to modern times. Dennis Quinn examines the subject in relation to various disciplines and modes of discourse- philosophy, theology, poetry, art myth, history, rhetoric, psychology, education, and modern science. Quinn shows that wonder, originally seen as the principle of philosophy and poetry and as a passion essential to the highest order of education, has been weakened by certain intellectual, cultural, and religious shifts during the past 600 years. The history is synoptic in two senses of the word: it is comprehensive but selective, and illustrative not exhaustive. Iris Exiled is presented from a single theoretical perspective, that of the original understanding of wonder as developed and set forth by such authors as Plato, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, John Ruskin, and Joseph Pieper, as well as a host of other writers of all kinds and from all eras of western history.

Is TikTok's "163-year-old man" real? Here are the facts
Whatever kind of content you go looking for on TikTok, you're almost guaranteed to find it. However, one of the most successful formulas for creating a TikTok account that is guaranteed to reach people's For You page (FYP) is to play on a family dynamic. Whether it's Tilly Ramsey forcing father Gordon to struggle through silly trending dances, or TikTok's own grandpa Joe Allington capturing sweet moments between himself and his granddaughter, the social media platform loves to see familial relationships explored.
So when TikTok user auyary13 began posting videos of her father, a monk who lives in Thailand, hers was just one account amongst hundreds of thousands that all centred on the same popular theme. However, auyary13's videos were set apart by two things: her father's unusual vocation as a monk, and the fact that he is over 100 years of age.
Auyary had been posting videos to TikTok for several years before she decided to include her father in her content. It was only in November of 2021 that her dad first appeared on screen, in a simple and off-the-cuff video that showed him sitting in his house, smiling and beckoning for her to join him. The video received a modest amount of views, at the time of writing still having just nine comments and less than 2000 hearts (the TikTok equivalent of likes).
It was tragedy that caused Auyary's account to go from mildly successful to becoming a staple of more and more people's FYP. In January of 2022, the creator shared a video that showed her father being rushed into hospital, looking considerably more unwell than in her previous updates. The video went viral, introducing thousands of people to her account for the first time, and her follow-up video made just eight days later accumulated two million views in a matter of hours.
The influx of attention came with a lot of speculation from viewers, who began to make a game of guessing the man's age from Auyary's videos. Though Auyary had stated several times that her father was 109 years old, the number was exaggerated as her videos were freebooted and reposted a number of times by different users. These exaggerated guesses soon crept up to 163, and this number began to be repeated as the man's real age, even in Auyary's own comment section and against her own word.
Meanwhile, updates on the monk's health continued to be posted to auyary13. A video showing him sitting up in bed, wearing traditional robes and placing his hands on a child's head, has currently racked up 70 million views. This increased viewership has led to another emerging theory; that not only is the man 163 years old, but also that he is practising the rare art of Sokushinbutsu, a ritual in which monks mummify themselves whilst still living.
Sokushinbutsu is a rare practice that sees select Buddhist monks following a strict diet in the last years of their life, in order to dehydrate themselves from the inside out and begin the process of mummification whilst still alive. The last stages of this practice involve being buried in a pine box whilst still living, with the monks then spending their last hours meditating before peacefully passing away. The assumption of TikTok users that this is the process being undergone by Auyary's father is baseless, stemming only from the man's Buddhist faith, his advanced age, and the fact that he lost significant weight while ill in hospital.
However, both Auyary and her father live in Thailand, and Sokushinbutsu is a Japanese practice not observed anywhere else. There's no evidence that this accidentally viral sensation is preparing to end his life, only Auyary's continuing updates charting his slow recovery, and the ongoing closeness of their relationship.

Improving processing efficiency has always been the dream of many manufacturers. Because the increase in processing efficiency means not only a shortened production cycle and a reduction in financial costs, but also often means a significant reduction in manufacturing costs. The Harbin Steam Turbine Works ("Haqi"), located in the industrial base of Northeast China, has greatly improved its processing efficiency when its products are in short supply, and has achieved extraordinary results.
When Haqi was processing and manufacturing the first 600,000 kW supercritical steam turbine in China, large-diameter deep hole machining became a problem that caused it a very headache. The coupling hole of the facet in the outer cylinder of the steam turbine unit has a maximum diameter of 140 mm and a depth of 600 mm. Initially they used the traditional method commonly used in China - drilling with high-speed steel twist drills and then gradually reaming. The diameter of the hole is 60mm, and then the hole is not more than 15mm at a time. With such a processing method, it takes about 6.5 hours to drill one hole, and the processing cycle of all 200 holes exceeds 40 days.
Mr. Luo Yang is the director of the tool room of the Haqi Third Branch. He chose to use Kennametal's HTS drill bit. HTS is a modular indexable drill bit. Due to the use of indexable inserts, it can be adapted to different machining tasks by selecting different materials, different coatings and different grooved inserts. Both internal and external knives, ranging from four to 12 blades and four sized blades, cover a wide range of diameters from 45mm to 270mm. This design allows the entire hole to be drilled at one time without the need for multiple reamings, and the cutting speed is greatly improved. Moreover, due to the reasonable groove shape of the blade, the vibration generated on the machine tool is very small, and the influence on the machine tool is small. When using high-speed steel drill bits, they had an accident of machine tool overload damage, and the cutting became very smooth after using the HTS drill bit.
The centering of large-sized indexable drill bits has always been a problem. Since the inserts of the indexable drill bit are distributed over different diameter segments to complete the entire cutting task, the cutting force is always difficult to achieve equilibrium. Therefore, the drill bit will produce some offset under the action of this combined force of cutting. The greater the diameter of the drill bit, the more pronounced the tendency of this offset. Harbin's original process plan requires multiple reaming, which also includes the role of correcting the offset of the previous step. The centering drill in the middle of the HTS drill bit is placed to contain this offset. Therefore, when using HTS drilling, Harbin does not need to ream several times, but can complete the entire machining task in one drilling.
The drive ring is also an important part of the HTS drill bit. It will ensure that both the drilling head and the machine tool will not be damaged by the shear fracture of the male key during the drilling torque overload.
The HTS bit must be used with the cutting fluid, where the cutting fluid plays a major role in chip removal. Drilling is a closed environment where all chips must be removed from the gap between the drill pipe and the hole. Due to the high processing efficiency, the amount of chips generated per minute is large, and the high drilling torque makes the diameter of the drill pipe too small, which makes the chip removal efficiency very important. In many cases, the efficiency of drilling is limited by the efficiency of chip removal and it is difficult to perform better. The cutting fluid of the HTS drill bit is fed from the center of the tool to the drilling head, which in turn flushes the chips from the gap between the drill pipe and the hole. Therefore, the greater the pressure and flow rate of the cutting fluid, the better the effect will be. Through the transformation of the machine tool, Haqi realized the conversion from external cooling to internal cooling, which increased the cooling pressure, thus preparing the necessary conditions for the rational use of the HTS drill bit.
This series of designs provides a revolutionary solution for large diameter deep hole machining. Taking Haqi as an example, using this drill bit, its multiple steps are combined into one, and the cutting speed is increased by about 8 times. The original hole machining requires 6 tools and 6.7 man-hours. Now only one tool and only one tool is needed. 0.5 working hours, reducing processing time by 93%.
Haqi is very satisfied with this result. They have extended this kind of drill bit and some of their experience from the three-point factory to other branch factories. Nowadays, the steam turbines of Haqi are basically processed with such drill bits, which is very efficient. In Luo Yang's words, the most direct feeling of front-line operators is "saving".
HCPE is a type of Chlorinated Polymer which contains chlorine at 65-69%. It is transparent, hard and brittle thermoplastic resins. It has high chemical stability, good salt water resistance and good ultraviolet resistance. It is readily soluble in organic solvents such as toluene, xylene and esters, forming a colorless to pale yellow, transparent solution. When this solution is applied to the surface of metal, concrete, paper etc., the solvent readily vaporizes at room temperature to leave a transparent, hard and lustrous glass-like film. This film resists the permeation of moisture and oxygen gas, and shows high resistance to various chemicals such as acids and alkalis. It protects the substrates from corrosion, and also serves as a top coating for decorative purposes.
HCPE can be used as gravure printing ink, the binder of heavy-duty anticorrosion paint, waterproof paint and the component of adhesives. Particularly, due to its high corrosive resistance to Cl-, it is especially suitable for being used on vessels, docks, containers coating. The paint made of HCPE can be used in chemical equipment, oil field pipelines, offshore facilities, ship coatings, metallurgy and mine, salt industry, fishing ground, wastes treatment, transportation facilities, container and electrical equipment. High molecular weight HCPE grades such as NVH -60 and NVH -120 are our unique products which are developed for all kinds adhesive for PVC pipe, pipe fittings, plates, sheets etc.
NV series are produced by our newly invented hydrochloric acid phase technology, in which no organic solvent such as carbon tetrachloride is involved, resulting no destruction to ozone layer and no harm to the operators health.

Requests for Information About Students
Purpose of this policy
To assist schools to determine when to disclose information about students to persons or entities external to the school and the Department; as appropriate.
Schools frequently receive requests for information about students from a variety of sources.
Schools must follow this policy when responding to such requests, including the table below which describes commonly requested information. This policy is consistent with Victorian privacy and information sharing law.
Before disclosing any information, school must be satisfied as to:
the identity of the person seeking information (full name, position and organisation, if any)
exactly what information is being sought
the reason that the person or organisation is entitled to request and receive this information is entitled to access the information.
If there is any uncertainty about a request for information schools should contact the Legal Division by telephone on 9637 3146 or email legal.services@edumail.vic.gov.au
When information is
requested by
Guideline/Action
Authorised Officers - Public Transport
The Transport (Compliance and Miscellaneous) Act 1983 (Vic) permits the disclosure of information to an "authorised officer" for the purpose of enforcing transport infringements. Schools should comply with these requests.
Centrelink officers have broad powers under the Social Security Administration Act 1999 (Cth) to require a person to release information to help them determine whether a person qualifies for income support benefits. This may include information or documents relating to a students enrolment and attendance.
Centrelink officers must provide a written notice of this requirement before staff release the relevant information.
Courts or Tribunals
Courts, tribunals and other investigative bodies (for example, IBAC) have the power to compel a person to produce documents and/or give evidence.
If a school or staff member is served with a summons, subpoena, or court order, contact the Legal Division immediately for advice. See: Responding to Legal Claims, Writs and Subpoenas
Department of Health and Human Services (Victoria) (DHHS)
The Health (Infectious Diseases) Regulations 2009 (Vic) require schools to provide information to DHHS in relation to children suffering from infectious diseases.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Child Protection
All Department employees, including school staff, may report any information to DHHS Child Protection that will assist them to support the safety, health, development or wellbeing of a child in need of protection.
In certain circumstances, DHHS Child Protection can compel "information holders" to provide information by service of a notice under section 196 of the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005. Principals and registered teachers are "information holders" for the purposes of this Act. Failure to disclose information in these circumstances is an offence.
In other circumstances, there may be a legal obligation on school staff to report to DHHS Child Protection, if they are mandatory reporters under the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 (Vic).
Child Protection – Reporting Obligations
Police and DHHS interviews
Family law disputes -
Family consultants and Report writers
In family law disputes, a court may order that a Family Report be prepared to assist the court to decide appropriate parenting arrangements for a child or young person. "Family consultants" are employed by the court to prepare these reports. "Report writers" are private practitioners also engaged by the court to do this task.
School staff are permitted but not compelled to disclose information to a Family consultant or Report writer.
If a staff member does wish to speak to a Family consultant or Report writer, they should:
obtain written consent of both parents
limit input to facts only, and
not express opinion or make subjective statements.
Importantly, any information school staff provide to Family consultants or Report writers is not confidential and may be incorporated into a report and provided to parents and the court.
Independent Children's
Lawyer of the Family Court
Independent Children's Lawyers (ICLs) are appointed by the Family Court in family law disputes. ICLs assist the judge to determine which arrangements are in the best interests of the child or young person.
Schools may comply with a request for information from an ICL only as described in this section, and only if the ICL provides:
proof of appointment by the court; and
written consent of both parents.
Schools should only provide information to an ICL that has already been provided to the parents or that the parents would be entitled to receive. See below section on "Parent" for guidance on what information parents are entitled to receive from the school.
Schools should not prepare a written report at the request of the ICL
If the ICL requires other information, the ICL must issue a subpoena for that information. ICLs may subpoena a school to legally compel other documents to be provided, such as counselling records, incident reports emails or staff notes.
Health professionals - including emergency services staff
such as paramedics or fire officers
Information can be provided if the disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent:
a serious and imminent threat to an individual's life, health, safety or welfare; or
a serious threat to the public's health, public safety or public welfare.
Lawyers and non-legal advocates
When schools or individual staff members receive a request:
in writing by a lawyer or non-legal advocate acting on behalf of a student or former student, and written consent is provided, the information should generally be provided, to the extent that the student or their parents would be permitted the information under this policy
for school staff to provide a statement or information by a lawyer acting on behalf of one parent in a family law dispute or child protection case, the school should decline to provide any information (other than information normally provided to parents) unless subpoenaed.
Decision Making Responsibilities for Students
Responding to Legal Claims, Writs and Subpoenas
Request for details of school where a child is enrolled
In the absence of specific court orders to the contrary, each parent is entitled to know where their child is enrolled. However, there may be circumstances where it would not be in the best interests of the child for such information to be released. Before disclosing enrolment information to a parent, staff must be satisfied:
that there are no current court orders in place that remove parental responsibility from the parent or otherwise remove an entitlement to know where the child is enrolled; and
there are no safety or welfare concerns raised if the information is released. Examples of when a school should consider safety or welfare concerns include but are not limited to:
the enquiring parent is the respondent to a family violence intervention order protecting the children or the other parent
the enquiring parent has been charged with, or convicted of family violence or child abuse offences
the transferring or receiving school, enrolling parent or child raises safety or welfare concerns.
School staff should make reasonable enquiries to satisfy themselves of the above. Reasonable enquiries might include:
asking the requesting parent for proof of identification and relationship with child
seeking further information on decision-making responsibilities or safety issues from the transferring or receiving Victorian government school
seeking further information from the parent who has enrolled the child as to whether or not there are any relevant court orders or safety concerns (without necessarily informing the enrolling parent of the other parent's enquiry)
seeking further information from the student if they are a mature minor or adult and would not be adversely impacted by knowing that these enquiries have been made.
Personal information such as the child's address should not be released.
For further advice on managing these parent requests for information schools may contact the Legal Division by email legal.services@edumail.vic.gov.au or telephone (03) 9637-2750.
Requests for school reports and ordinary school communications
Parents, guardians and informal carers are generally entitled to school reports and other school communications ordinarily provided to parents, unless a court order restricts this right.
For requests by parents of students deemed a mature minor by the principal (or nominee), see Decision Making by Mature Minors webpage to determine whether the student is mature enough to make their own decision about releasing the information.
Requests for other documents
Parents, guardians, and informal carers requesting other documents (for example staff diary notes, incident reports, counselling notes) should be advised to make a Freedom of Information request to the Department's Information Management Unit. See: Freedom of Information Requests
Schools See: Transfers
Students/Former Students
If a student or former student requests information and documents, the school may provide if:
the document/information was given to the school by the student
the document/information was previously given to the student or their parent
the document/information is considered school information ordinarily provided to students or their parents (such as school reports)
the document is publicly available.
For other documents, the student should be invited to make a formal FOI request.
See: Freedom of Information Requests
Students/Former Students
Personal references
Where a student has asked a Principal or teacher for a written reference or for the Principal or teacher to act as a referee for the student, it is up to the individual principal or teacher to decide whether or not to agree to this request.
School staff should not provide a reference without the consent of the student, or the parent if the student is not an adult or a mature minor for the purposes of giving consent in these circumstances.
See: Decision Making by Mature Minors
Victoria Police have broad powers to investigate and obtain evidence. If Victoria Police request personal information about a student schools may disclose that information if they are satisfied that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for one or more of the following:
the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences or breaches of a law imposing a penalty or sanction
the prevention, detection, investigation or remedying of seriously improper conduct
the preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal.
Staff may also disclose information to Victoria Police with parent/carer consent or student consent if they are an adult or mature minor.

Lois Jean Feinberg passed away peacefully on December 8, 2022, less than three weeks shy of her 90th birthday. She was born on December 27,1932 in Syracuse, NY and was the third child and eldest daughter of six children of the late Francis and Anita Wales.
Lois attended Central High School where she met the love of her life, Bennett Feinberg. They married just out of high school and lived in a two family home on Henry St where they started a family. Lois was devoted to her husband and her four children. Ben and Lois worked together in the family business, Phillip Feinberg & Son, where she worked from home doing all of the accounting. As the business and family grew they moved to Fayetteville, NY.
Lois was known to be an extremely hard worker and she lived a life of service to others. Initially Lois' service was to her family and to the business. She was an impeccable house keeper and a jack of all trades, painting, gardening, and fixing anything that broke. She was also an accomplished cook and baker, making holiday meals that were delicious and plentiful.
When Ben died at the young age of 50, after a long mourning period, Lois chose to become a care giver to the elderly in their homes. Initially she worked for Home Aids of CNY. There she was soon recognized as an exemplary caregiver and won several awards for her achievements. Two years later she began a private practice. In her role as caregiver her hard work, dependability, trustworthiness and intellect made her highly sought after. She loved her clients and their families and they loved her. She often worked 80 hours a week, not being able to turn families down when they asked her to stay on.
After twenty years of devoted care to her clients, Lois retired in 2012 and moved to Rochester, NY where she lived with her son, Andy, and his family. She later moved to an assisted living where her warmth and compassion were on display each day as she moved through the building conversing with residents and sharing stories, making her a friend to all and a popular resident. Lois adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and always looked forward to their visits.
Lois was predeceased by her husband, Bennett Feinberg; her parents, Anita and Francis Wales; her brothers, Keith Wales, Richard Wales and James Wales; as well as her sister, Gail Wales Juneau.
She is survived by her four children: Marilyn K. Feinberg, Barton K. Feinberg (Sarah Stack), Debbie J. McClenahan, and R. Andrew Feinberg (Heidi Wasserstrom).
Lois leaves eight grandchildren: Nathan P. Feinberg, Justin S. Feinberg (Sita Haldipur) Benjamin W. Feinberg (Joelle Snee), Michael McClenahan, Heather McClenahan, Christopher McClenahan, A. Bennett Feinberg and Jonathan R. Feinberg. She is also survived by 15 great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held on December 16, 2022 at Newell-Fay Schepp Funeral Home, 8171 Cazenovia Road, Manlius, NY 13104. Calling hours will be from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. A service will immediately follow.

Il Collegio Orientale (l'ufficiale abbreviazione: COr) in Eichstätt in Baviera è un collegio  che serve alla formazione dei candidati per il presbiterato ed anche agli studi di specializzazione post-laurea per i sacerdoti provenienti dalle diverse Chiese di rito orientale. Esso inoltre offre la possibilità di studiare nello stato di famiglia. Questa è una peculiarità sia per i sacerdoti stessi che per i seminaristi.

Storia
Il 1 settembre 1998 il collegio è stato fondato con l'azione del vescovo di allora  della diocesi di Eichstätt Walter Mixa. Il COr si sottopone al vescovo della diocesi di Eichstätt.

Caratteristiche e finalità

Il collegio viene alloggiato accanto al seminario diocesano Collegium Willibaldinum e accoglie circa 40 studenti della  Chiesa greco-cattolica ucraina, della Slovacchia, Polonia, della Chiesa cattolica greco-melchita, della  Chiesa maronita, della Chiesa cattolica siro-malabarese e della  Chiesa cattolica siro-malankarese in India. Insieme con gli studenti cattolici studiano anche i seminaristi ortodossi della Chiesa ortodossa ucraina (Patriarcato di Mosca), della  Chiesa apostolica autocefala ortodossa georgiana  e della Chiesa apostolica armena. La vita nel Collegio Orientale va coniata per mezzo del Typikon  religioso e attraverso lo studio della  Teologia  cattolica con il punto focale oriente-ecclesiastico presso l'Università Cattolica di Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. Da qui deriva il suo scopo che è ecumenico. Gli studenti dalle diverse Chiese Orientali sono invitati a studiare, a pregare, insomma a vivere insieme. Ognuno di loro ha una buona occasione per rilevare per sé stesso spiritualità orientale e la Liturgia .

Liturgia
Le messe (Liturgie divine, Vespro, Komplet) sono prevalentemente nel rito bizantino. Nel collegio vicino alla cappella principale c'è pure la cappella siriaca e quella copta. Nel caso in cui nel COr studiano i sacerdoti appartenenti al rito siriaco oppure quello copto, le messe vengono fatte nei loro riti. A proposito dei servizi divini, essi si svolgono in lingua tedesca. Ciò va fatto a causa delle diverse nazionalità dei seminaristi. Inoltre questo rende possibile le visite per i credenti dai dintorni.

Rettori
 Andreas Thiermeyer (1998-2008)
 Paul Schmidt (2008-2014)

Despite a crush of politicians with ambitions for higher office, the emerging Senate race has mostly been marked by high-profile figures bowing out of contention, with some instead planning to seek the Governor's Office in 2018. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who chose the governor's race over next year's Senate contest, took advantage of the state's higher limits to raise more than $725,000 within two weeks of announcing his candidacy.
Harris and her Senate supporters, meanwhile, have sought to create an air of invincibility, releasing a steady flow of endorsements from state and national figures and influential groups like Emily's List. Still, Harris is expected to face an intra-party challenge.
Among the Democrats considering Senate runs are Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff of Burbank, Xavier Becerra of Los Angeles and Loretta Sanchez of Santa Ana. Respectively, the trio began the quarter with $2.1 million, $1.3 million and nearly $400,000 on hand.
Republican Assemblyman Rocky Chavez of Oceanside announced his candidacy in early March.
California has become more progressive during the last decade. This liberal list shows how far to the left the state has gone on immigration, access to voting, women's and LGBT rights and environmental issues.

Culture, Media and Performance
This section brings together Fellows who specialise in culture, media and performance studies.
Culture, Media and Performance is a highly interdisciplinary section: it incorporates cultural studies, film studies, media studies, new media and digital culture studies, and performance studies, as well as related fields including cultural geography, cultural sociology, visual culture studies, photographic studies, sound studies and areas of the digital humanities.
Each of these fields is itself interdisciplinary, and several of them cross the boundary between the humanities and social sciences. In all of them British scholarship is influential internationally, and all were until recently under-represented in the Academy. They are fields that exemplify the burgeoning interdisciplinarity of academic and intellectual life over recent decades.

Lynna Irby runs NCAA's fastest 400; Indiana men, women 2nd in Big Ten track
David Woods
Lynna Irby ran the fastest women's 400 meters in the NCAA this year, and Indiana finished second in both men's and women's Big Ten standings in indoor track and field Saturday.
Irby, a Georgia sophomore and 12-time state champion from Pike High School, ran a time of 52.02 seconds in the Southeastern Conference Championships at Fayetteville, Arkansas. She held off Texas A&M sophomore Syaira Richardson, second in 52.09. Irby later ran a 51.18 anchor leg for Georgia in the 1,600 relay.
Bad breaks affected a title run by IU's men, who were outscored 93-91 by Nebraska at Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Hoosiers lost a 4:01 miler to a disqualification, did not score after a fall in Friday's distance medley relay and endured injuries to key athletes. Purdue tied Iowa for fourth with 70 points.
The Hoosiers' Ben Veatch, of Carmel, won a tactical 3,000-meter race Friday night in 8 minutes, 26.03 seconds for his first Big Ten title. He was second in the 5,000 Saturday in 13:53.81. Kyle Mau was second in the mile and 3,000, and Cooper Williams was second in the 800 in 1:48.76. Other IU champions were pole vaulter Adam Coulon (17 feet, 10 ¼ inches) and triple jumper Eric Bethea (52-5 ½).
Purdue runners-up included Jalil Brewer, of Ben Davis, in the shot put (64-5), Waseem Williams in the 60 meters (6.66) and Brian Faust in the 600 (1:17.66, school record).
In women's scoring, Ohio State had 112 points to Indiana's 83. Purdue was 10th with 25. IU's Maggie Allen and Katherine Receuver finished 2-3 in the 3,000, and Receuver was also third in the 5,000. The Hoosiers' Kelsey Harris, of Carmel, was third in the 800 in 2:05.88.

Would you do your best work for a CEO who pulls in 5,000 times your own salary?
Mattel is one of the largest toy-making companies on earth. Turns out it's one of the biggest manufacturers of income inequality, too.
Last year, the Barbie doll manufacturer paid its CEO nearly 5,000 times as much as its median worker.
This stunning revelation is the result of a new regulation that requires U.S. publicly held corporations to report their CEO-worker pay ratios to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mattel's gap is the widest reported so far. But most other big U.S. companies also have staggering divides. According to a new report by the staff of Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, the first 225 large corporations to release their numbers had pay ratios averaging 339 to 1.
"This immense inequality is a crisis for our economy and our democracy," said Ellison, a longtime advocate of pay gap disclosure.
What's good for these CEOs, however, is actually bad for business.
A CNBC analysis of the new pay ratio data, for example, suggests that companies with large pay disparities have lower profits per employee.
Why might that be? According to a recent study by a Harvard Business professor, companies tend to perform poorly if workers feel they're not paid fairly. The study's author said workers who feel that way are likely to lack motivation and even quit their jobs.
It's not hard to understand how it could put a damper on your morale to be working hard and struggling to get by while your boss is being rewarded hundreds — or even thousands — of times more than you on payday.
Doug Smith, a former partner at the big McKinsey management consulting firm, argues that the economic costs of huge pay gaps go far beyond the problems of low employee morale and high turnover.
There's a growing movement to use the new pay ratio data to encourage corporations to narrow their gaps. Portland, Oregon will soon become the first city to impose a tax penalty on companies with pay gaps above 100 to 1.
Charlie Hales, Portland's mayor when the law was passed in late 2016, argued that it made good business sense to encourage narrower gaps.
With the new pay ratio data now coming out, lawmakers in six states — California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Rhode Island — are considering Portland-style pay ratio taxes.
Narrowing the divides within U.S. corporations may not automatically leave us all whistling away while we work. But we'll all pay a price if we keep fiddling while extreme inequality burns down our economy.

Welcoming Michigan Finds New Home at Global Detroit
After 10 successful years at the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC), Welcoming Michigan has moved to a new organizational home at Global Detroit. Over the years Welcoming Michigan has worked with community based organizations and local governments across the state to create more immigrant-friendly communities. The move came as MIRC refocused its work on immigration law and policy.
Welcoming Michigan is a statewide program aimed at fostering mutual respect and understanding among U.S.-born and foreign-born Michiganders. The project partners with organizations and institutions to promote inclusion and help both newcomers and longtime residents feel a sense of belonging in their communities. Welcoming Michigan offers education and training, raises awareness, and creates opportunities for neighbors to meet neighbors.
"We are incredibly proud of Welcoming Michigan's legacy and accomplishments," said Christine Sauvé, the program's outgoing director. "Over the years we've enjoyed countless meals with partners and residents, formed incredible friendships, and shared many laughs and memorable moments. We've faced intense anti-immigrant backlash, and countered it with the love and support of a diverse network of community leaders. We couldn't have done it without them, and I'm heartened to know they will continue to be involved in the project moving forward. I am honored to have been able to lead the program for the past eight years and know that it will be in good hands at Global Detroit."
Over the years, Welcoming Michigan facilitated local committees of community leaders focused on building relationships and creating a more welcoming climate for newcomers, worked to change the dominant conversation around immigration, and hosted an annual sold-out conference where community practitioners came together to learn from each other and share best practices. The project also provides technical assistance to Michigan municipalities. These "Welcoming Cities and Counties" commit to institutionalizing policies and practices that advance inclusion and support immigrant residents. Since launching, Welcoming Michigan has hosted 385 events, reached 20,362 people, and Michigan now boasts 22 Welcoming Cities & Counties, the most of any state in the country. The program has been cited as a national leader in the field and received numerous recognitions, including from the Arcus Center for Social Justice and The New York Times, and the program's director was honored by the Obama White House as a Champion of Change.
The Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) is a statewide legal resource center for immigrant communities and a part of the Michigan Advocacy Program (MAP). In 2010, MIRC was tapped by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and former State Representative Steve Tobocman to lead a new local initiative based on the national Welcoming America model. This new Welcoming Michigan initiative was aimed at making Michigan more immigrant-friendly and was a recommendation of the 2010 Global Detroit study authored by Tobocman.
Welcoming Michigan was officially launched by MIRC on May 7, 2012. As MAP has grown and developed, MIRC has refocused its immigration and immigrant rights law and policy work. In light of MAP's and MIRC's redefined goals and intended impact, it was time to identify a new organizational home for Welcoming Michigan.
As an early supporter of Welcoming Michigan and fellow Welcoming America member, Global Detroit was a natural fit for the program's new home. Since the release of the Global Detroit report in 2010, the organization has led efforts to make Southeast Michigan more equitable and prosperous through immigrant inclusion. By ensuring immigrants are a vital part of our region's community and economic development strategies, Global Detroit is building a vibrant city and thriving region with strong neighborhoods, healthy families, successful small businesses, and a rich and diverse cultural life. Maintaining an active Welcoming Michigan program is essential to this vision for success.
"It is more important than ever to ensure our communities and our state are welcoming to immigrants and refugees, and we are committed to supporting Welcoming Michigan during this transition period," said Steve Tobocman, Executive Director of Global Detroit. "We are excited to work with Welcoming Michigan's longtime partners to build a bright, sustainable future for the program."
On August 1st, 2020 Welcoming Michigan moved to its new home at Global Detroit. A Steering Committee of diverse stakeholders has been established to help guide the program's transition. Under Global Detroit's leadership, Welcoming Michigan will continue to build more inclusive, connected communities for newcomers and longtime residents alike.
