SRC President's Report – Week 12, Sem 2, 2018
October 18, 2018 /in President /by Publications SRC
Imogen Grant
This Wednesday staff and students at Sydney University will join a national day of action across campuses to call on the Morrison government to end offshore detention.
In recent weeks the mental health crisis on Nauru has exploded. Around 20 children still on Nauru have been consumed by despair and are refusing food and water. The situation is growing more and more urgent and the pressure on the government is building. The doctors' peak body, the AMA, has called for all children to be immediately brought to Australia for medical care.
At Sydney University, outside Fisher Library on Wednesday 17 October, staff and students will hold a public reading 11am-1pm of Behrouz's book written from Manus; and at 1pm hold a group photo action with placards reading #NoMoreHarm, #BringThemHere and #EducationNotDetention.
The USYD action will coincide with actions being organised across the country by Academics for Refugees. The USYD action is endorsed and being co-organised by Campus Refugee Action Collective and the National Tertiary Education Union
Secondly, on Saturday 1pm Community Action Against Homophobia (CAAH) and USYD Queer Action Collective (QuAC) will protest against Scott Morrison's homophobia. The SRC will be attending protest and stand alongside the queer community in their calls for an end to the homophobic rhetoric that has been spurred on by the so called leader of this country.
We demand an end to gay conversion therapy. This is an ongoing practice in Australia that our new PM has described as simply "not an issue for me". We call bullshit on this. Conversion therapy has been deemed as 'torture' by the United Nations. Morrison's response shows a deep lack of respect and is just one example of his incessant homophobia and contempt for LGBT+ Australians. Even when the postal vote returned an overwhelming Yes for marriage equality he left the room in parliament instead of voting for equality. Now since becoming PM he has re-raised the issue of religious discrimination in an attempt to roll back our rights post marriage equality.
He has also joined the train of inflammatory comments directed at trans young people and the schools who support them. As he tweets "let kids be kids" and "we don't need gender whisperers in schools" these are genuine statements that we direct back at him, conversion therapists and the government-funded school chaplains that have interfered with trans kids lives. No person should be put through mental torture because of someone else's bigotry.
Join us to say No to ScoMo. Come protest on the day of the Wentworth by election and march to Oxford Street within their electorate. This protest will be held in conjunction with another taking place in the heart of Canberra that day.
Feel free to email me at president@src.usyd.edu.au if you have any concerns or wish to get involved with the SRC. If you are experiencing any academic, personal or legal issues and wish to seek the advice of an SRC caseworker or solicitor, contact us at 9660 5222 or help@src.usyd.edu.au.

Last week I was incredibly proud to organise, along with our President, Radical Education Week: a week of free workshops accessible to all that covered everything from drug law reform in Australia to the history of political economy movement to legal skills for activists.
Community leaders, academics, politicians and students themselves led these workshops, breaking down the usual constraints around education and its accessible and providing a vision for education free, accessible and liberating. It is only through these peoples' generosity in their time, resources and knowledge that we were able to organise this at all, and we saw more than 250 students attend workshops that ranged from intimate chats to packed panel discussions throughout the week. If you're interested in being involved with organising Radical Education Week next year, please either shoot me a message at general.secretary@src.usyd.edu.au or message the Radical Education Week 2018 Facebook page.
Last weekend we also organised the SRC's presence at Open Day, letting incoming students know about the SRC's services, opportunities to become involved in collectives and the Council's work and some of the campaigns we are working on at the moment. We also were able to distribute several hundred copies of the Counter-Course I edited at the beginning of the year. Hopefully this will be able to provide a useful insight to people considering attending Sydney University from students attending University themselves, counter-balancing the University's slick advertising.
Good luck to everyone going with their upcoming assignments, and please feel free to shoot me an email with any questions about the SRC or this report at general.secretary@src.usyd.edu.au.

The Education Action Group held a protest on campus on August 15th against the Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation and Spence's attempts to strike a deal with the centre. The rally was a success, with speakers from the NTEU, the international student community and Greens MP David Shoebridge. We staged a die in half way through the rally, a somewhat neglected technique of campus protests, which worked really well as a stunt to draw attention to our action from passers by.
The week prior to the protest we held a forum on on the Ramsay Centre in conjunction with the NTEU, the first joint SRC-NTEU event in some years. The forum was also a success, with over 80 attendees and an excellent keynote speech by renowned Sociologist, Raewyn Connell. We, along with the NTEU will be keeping up the pressure to keep Ramsay Out of USyd.
On a broader political level, last week saw Scott Morrison become Prime Minister following a Liberal spill motion. Whilst many have celebrated Morrison's triumph over Peter Dutton, we believe the two to be cut from the same ideological cloth. Morrison is no moderate and as the former Immigration Minister was the architect of the cruel Operation Sovereign borders policy, where he was responsible for more children in detention than any other government. He also famously brought a lump of coal into parliament and voted no to same sex marriage despite the public issuing a resounding 'yes' on the issue during the plebiscite last year. The EAG and the student movement more broadly should take to the streets and oppose ScoMo/Scummo and kick the Liberals out!

SRC Presidents Report – Week 8, Sem 2, 2018
September 20, 2018 /in President /by Publications SRC
On Sunday the Students' Representative Council, along with the National Union of Students, hosted a rally against the new Scott Morrison prime ministership which I had the honour of speaking at. The right wing coup in the Liberal Party brought down Malcolm Turnbull. But it has failed to elevate its number one candidate, former home affairs minister Peter Dutton, to the prime minister's office.
We are now seeing the bourgeois media pitch Morrison's victory as a great triumph of "moderation". But Morrison built his brand and popularity on the back of years of torturing refugees. During his time as immigration minister, was the architect of the government's inhuman Sovereign Borders boat turnback policy, and presided over the deaths of Reza Barati and Hamid Khazaei on Manus Island in 2014.
He also led the "It's okay to say No" brigade in the marriage equality plebiscite and led the push for a "religious freedoms" bill to undercut the result.
The political legacy of Morrison's term as immigration minister is particularly striking when one remembers the leadership challenge came as a 12 year old girl on Nauru tried to set herself on fire, and another 17 year old girl is in a critical condition after refusing food and water.
Morrison's far right politics are no better than Dutton or Turnbull's. The Liberals continue to cut penalty rates, privatise education, screw up our public transport, slash Medicare funding, destroy the climate and give tax cuts to their rich mates, while driving racism to distract us. It's not refugees or migrants cutting our penalty rates and living standards.
Workers in Australia need a decent living wage and a future we can be proud of, not a far-right fearmonger whose policies gain the support of Trump and Hanson. The far right MPs in the Liberal Party are buoyed by the success of Trump and the far right in Europe. They too want a party that is openly bigoted, sexist, racist and shows a complete contempt for science.
The connections between Trump & Morrison are clear – Morrison famously refused to criticise Trump's travel ban, instead encouraging countries to "catch up" with Australia's racism. And just yesterday, the US president, Donald Trump, has tweeted his congratulations to the new Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison.And we shouldn't forget that, for many in the hard right of politics, US president Donald Trump's against-the-odds success, driven by unashamed bigotry and take-no-prisoners approach, is considered a model to be emulated.
The solution is not to vote our way out of this, but to reignite the refugee rights movement. Social change happens from action – we cannot vote our way out of it. Just like the way we did in after Abbott's 2014 budget – calling protests, strikes, direct actions and working with unions is something to be replicated today. We must stand up for ourselves because we cannot rely on the Shorton Government to end offshore processing.
We need to kick out the Liberal Government – yes – but we also need to kick the racist policies out & build a movement based on attacking state racism such that such policies become untenable for any party to enact. We have more in common with the workers, activists and unionists locked up in detention than we do with the parasitic Australian ruling class torturing people indefinitely in camps.
Reflecting on this, we don't want a "stable" Liberal Party. The dominant party of the Australian capitalist class is now in deep crisis because of this factional schism and we want to see the party topple – along with the far-right policies within it!
And there is a role the student movement can play here. There's a long history of students – no matter their colour – standing up and mobilising against the state's racism, see the 1965 Freedom Rides. And I am going to make sure that we build we build this movement against the Liberal Government at the University of Sydney and across campuses in this state.

Robin Eames, Mollie Gavin and Ren Rennie
Despite some technical mishaps, we are very glad and proud to report that the very first special disability issue of Honi Soit was a resounding success – as you will have noticed if you picked up a copy from the stands last week!
We'd like to extend our deep gratitude to everyone who was involved in making the very first Disabled Honi happen. It was a huge task and we couldn't have done it without the talented students who offered their time and dedication to the edition. We think it's so important to give disabled students space to develop art, literature, and journalism, and we're delighted that Honi has provided this space.
Don't forget that if you would like to join the closed Facebook groups for either the Disabilities Collective or the Caregivers Network, you can email the Disabilities OBs at disabilities.officers@src.usyd.edu.au letting us know which group you would like to join, and we can send you an invite to the group by email. You do not have to disclose details of your disability or caregiving responsibilities in order to join.
The collective will be organising a protest against inaccessible transport at Redfern station sometime in October, and we will be hosting a screening of Defiant Lives later in the year. We will also be sending two students to the NUS Disability & Accessibility Conference at the end of September, hosted by Monash University.
Love & solidarity,
The 2018 Disabilities Collective Officebearers

As I am writing this, a final memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Ramsay Centre CEO Simon Haynes and Vice-Chancellor Michael Spence. Annamarie Jagose, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, is currently reviewing the MOU and will take it to the FASS Board Meeting on Monday for discussion.
At the next FASS Board Meeting on 10 September, FASS staff & students will be leafleting members to vote against the proposed degree in Western Civilisation. It is normal for Academic Board to look to the decision at a faculty board humanities experts in FASS and consequently decide approve or reject the Ramsay curriculum. If it gets through the FASS Board then Academic Board is more likely to just rubber stamp it – or at least very unlikely to vote against it. As a result, the decision at Faculty Board is crucial in the fight against the Ramsay Centre on campus. We have cohered a strong student opposition to the Centre and are currently in contact with the student members of the Board.
On another note, the Academic Board and University Executive are currently conducting a review into safety and wellbeing. This is an issue that has become the subject of regulatory attention from the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Association (TEQSA).
The Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2015 (HES Framework) includes Section 2.3, on wellbeing and safety, that requires providers to provide timely and accurate advice on access to student support services and to promote and foster a safe environment on campus and online.
We will be ascertaining as to whether the University is or is not compliant with these standards and making recommendations for improvements on the availability, provision and communication of services and processes to ensure the wellbeing and safety of specific cohorts of students.
Interviews will be conducted over the next few weeks with students. If you receive an invitation, I encourage you to take up the offer and have your voice heard on the topic. If you have any feedback on the state of student safety and wellbeing you wish for me to know or relay to the committee, always feel free to email me at president@src.usyd.edu.au.
Finally, last week the SRC sent a contingent of students to the early childhood educators walk off & protest, as part of the Big Steps campaign, outside the NSW Parliament. We heard speeches from childhood educator Gwen Alcock, ACTU President Michele O'Neil, Labor MP Tanya Plibersek and a parent Emily Mayo.
Childhood education is a booming industry and many of these educators attend university for years to be qualified. With diploma-level or university-level training the wage is only $23 per hour, about half the the national average wage – childhood educators are the working poor.
Childhood educators also earn 30% less than people with equivalent qualifications in male-dominated fields. 97 percent of childhood educators are women and society undervalues these skills because they are seen as "soft," just an extension of the unpaid work performed by mothers at home.
The SRC has made a solid commitment this year to become activated around workplace issues – both as student-workers and in solidarity with workers from a range of different industries. As a part of that we are organising a 'Union Day' on September 17 on Eastern Avenue.
Majority of students work full-time alongside full-time study and as a result the distinction between student and worker is becoming increasingly blurred. 60 percent of international students living in Sydney are paid below the the minimum wage of $17.29 per hour. It gets worse in retail, where 90 percent of international student workers being paid below minimum wage. This day will provide a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about their rights in the workplace & potentially join a union.

In Week 1, the SRC passed its yearly budget—prepared by yours truly.
This is the year operating budget for the SRC and funds all our administration, publications (like this paper!), caseworkers, legal service and the important activism and campaigns of our elected student office bearers. Since Voluntary Student Unionism was implemented, the SRC and student unions across Australia have had to downsize heavily. Only now have we begun to grow through painfully slow increases in our funding from the University.
That said, we've been able to do some great new things with our budget. Here are the highlights:
The budget has a small surplus, we're very proud of this. We've also increased our affiliation contribution to the National Union of Students by $1000 to $64 300. This is the SRC has increased its affiliation fee since before VSU.
We will be hiring of a new research officer for the Casework Department. This new officer will help student representatives to better represent students' interests to the ever more complex behemoth of the University's management; be able to help office bearers with research for key campaigns; and pursue research projects concerning students' interests such as affordable housing, welfare benefits and student services. This will also take some of the load for this research from our overworked Casework team, allowing them to better serve students.
We have included substantial training budgets for both the Legal Service and Casework Department. This will allow the Casework team to send at least two caseworkers to a international student focused conference at the end of this to better equip themselves with skills to support international students and face the unique challenges that arise for these students. In addition this will also allow the Legal Service to be able to enrol themselves in a number of online courses that will equip them with the skills necessary to better support our students.
Finally, we were able to commit an additional $650 to the Office Bearers this year. This helps support the work of elected student representatives in fighting bodies like the government and the University to better represent student interests.
There's a lot more in there! If you're interested in seeing the full budget (also available at our website) or have any questions, please shoot through and email to general.secretary@src.usyd.edu.au.

As a MLB baseball fan and sports bettor, you probably know that one key element in any baseball game is the pitching. A solid pitcher can completely shutdown an opposing side. What happens when you have two very good pitchers going at it? Usually the game is low scoring?no matter how good the hitters are.
Just the opposite can happen when to sub-par pitchers take the mound. Knowing how to properly evaluate pitching is key to winning your baseball bets. However, evaluating can be a complicated task. Just what should we pay attention to? That's the purpose of this article. We will discus what's important to look at and use the past performance of real pitchers to illustrate these points. It's time to play ball.
The most common mistake for those wagering on MLB baseball has to be simply looking at the pitcher's ERA. The ERA is important, but you have to dig a little deeper to get the full story. Let's take a look at Chicago White Sox pitcher Freddy Garcia. Let's imagine that it's late in the season and he's on the mound with his 3.87 ERA.
It would be easy to look at that and decide that he's a good pitcher. However, looking at his stats deeper tells a tale of two pitchers?home and away. Let's compare.
1.At home, Garcia has a 4-5 record.
On the road he is 10-3.
2.At home, his ERA is 4.38. On the road his ERA is 3.
3.At home he gave up 17 home runs 38 walks. On the road he gave up 9 home runs and 22 walks.
He pitched 10 more innings on the road.
So what does this data tell you? For one, it tells you that Freddy Garcia is not a good pitcher at home. By looking deeper into the ERA and where the game is being played, you can get a better picture of just who's taking the mound for a game.
Another area you want to look at is team performance, which looks at how well the pitcher has performed against the team.
While you can look at history, it's best to look at the current season and only pull in history if there are no current season performances. The reason is simple; teams change, at least a little, each year. Let's keep looking at Freddy Garcia to see why team performance is so important. Take a look at a couple teams Garcia pitched against in 2005 and the outcome.
1.Garcia pitched four games against Detroit and had a 2.
2.Garcia pitched four games against Cleveland and had a 2.63 ERA.
3.Garcia pitched three games against Seattle and had an 8.35 ERA.
4.Garcia pitched two games against Oakland and had a 3.46 ERA.
By looking at team performance, we can see that Garcia's outcome fluctuated and there are certain teams that he just does not do well against and others he dominates. We just looked at ERA here, but you can drill down further and look at overall pitching performance such as: hits, walks, home runs, innings pitched and so forth.
The last area of our discussion involves inning count. It's vital that you know how deep, on average, the pitcher goes into games.
If the pitcher is known for 5-6 inning outings, then you know the bullpen will be a major factor in the game. If this is the case and the team's bullpen is suspect, you have to devalue the starting pitcher some. If you have a pitcher that normally works 7-8 innings and the team has a dominant closer and possibly a very good setup man, then you can focus more on the starting pitcher. Here's an example list of pitchers and their 2005 averages.
2.Randy Johnson 6 2/3 innings.
4.Jose Contrares 6 13/ innings.
In the case of Randy Johnson and Jose Contrares, we would have to discount their ability slightly if their team's bullpen was not solid. Getting 7 innings of work out of a starting pitcher is good and about the average.
So the next time you go to bet baseball, look at who is pitching and do a little evaluating.

The emergence of the New Public Management with its emphasis on performance measurements and managerial strategies such as accountability, efficiency, and cost effectiveness have encouraged nonprofit child welfare agencies in New York City to pursue the practice of the private sector. In the current environment, service delivery has become more entrepreneurial, strategic and outcome minded on the assumption that the market-oriented approach is more effective (Watson-Bishop, 2007). This study examines the relationship between policy and service delivery. Specifically, it investigates the impact of the initiative known as Improved Outcomes for Children on child welfare supervisors in a managerial environment.
The framework for this study uses Street Level Bureaucracy and phenomenological inquiry. The findings of this study suggest that supervisors' ability to be present for their work with children and families is hampered by the vigilance needed to reach performance goals. These findings provide insight into supervisors' perception that Improved Outcomes for Children has transformed the organization and delivery of services in child welfare agencies in a permanent way. Practice implications include an in-depth examination of what is and what is not working to support children and families, as well as the need to invest in a skilled and stable workforce.

Review: Pain of Salvation - One Hour by the Concrete Lake

One Hour by the Concrete Lake
Label: Inside Out Music
Tracks: 11
Review online: July 18, 2007
Reviewed by: Bruce Dragonchaser
Rated 4.4/5 (88%) (15 Votes)
Moving slowly on, Pain of Salvation's second full length "One Hour by the Concrete Lake" - named after the nuclear waste dumping ground Karschay, whose radiation polluted waters are so contaminated it would be lethal to spend an hour by its shores – took the Swedish prog metallers into a fresh, dark direction, producing the band's most complex and multifaceted album to date. Whilst at times overly desultory, "One Hour by the Concrete Lake" is thorny collection of songs heavily driven by the subject matter at its core: integral environmental issues and political injustices. It is obvious how strongly band leader Daniel Gildenlöw feels about these unjust problems, and through his emoted vocals and epic soundscapes, you can almost feel the abhorrence and loathing through his revolted intensity.
Heavily influence by speeches given by James Garret and Lorraine Rekman at the World Uranium Hearing, the lyrics paint a very bleak picture indeed; creeping their frightening message through every pain-soaked track. Musically, "One Hour by the Concrete Lake" is incredibly progressive, yet retains a certain sense of melody, with some great hooks and memorable guitar lines; but apart from "Be", this remains their least accessible album thus far. Possibly due to the concept, this is almost as suffocating as the issues raised. The guitars have been turned down in the mix to make room for Fredrik Hermansson's apprehensive keys and warm pianos and the barbershop quartet vocal harmonies are given a miss in favour of Gildenlöw's trademark quick fire rap-like delivery. Elements of their debut are evident in a lot of the material ("Water" and "Black Hills" namely) but in general Pain of Salvation have kicked the controls into gear and sped up the machine, creating a whole new sound, as they have done for each subsequent release. Highlights include the incoherent blast of "Handful of Nothing", the creepy, humongous choir-based romp "The Big Machine" and of course, the splendid, all-encompassing opener "Inside", which if there were ever a song to summarise their talents and style, it would be this one.
Again, if you don't go for all of this serious thinking man's metal bullshit, then no doubt you'll hate this for its pretensions alone, but while it may not be a great starting point, "One Hour by the Concrete Lake" is one hell of an album that Dream Theater couldn't concoct if they spent 10 years trying. A thoughtful, intelligent outlook on our current events through progressive means.

Jordan is a critically acclaimed comedian, writer and actor.
His third solo hour of high wire stand-up and absurdism, Body of Work, earned him a nomination for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2017. The show started out at a Free Festival venue before transferring to the Pleasance Courtyard to become a plauded word-of-mouth success story of the festival. The Guardian described the show as "wildly entertaining stand-up that demolishes the conventions of comedy".
Jordan's latest show, Bleed, received a number of 4 and 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe festival this year and runs at the Soho Theatre 25 October - 10 November.
For TV, he has recently appeared on Stand Up at BBC Wales, as an actor in Kiri Pritchard-Mclean's Sky Comedy Halloween short and is developing a number of original scripted and non-scripted projects.

USNS Carson City Arrives in Port Sudan
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Carson City (EPF 7) arrived in Port Sudan, Sudan for a port visit, Feb. 24, 2021, the U.S. Navy 6th fleet announced with a press release.
This is the first U.S. Navy ship visit to Sudan since the creation of U.S. Africa Command, and highlights U.S. engagement that strives to build a partnership with the Sudanese Armed Forces.
Carson City's visit follows the visit by U.S. Africa Command's Deputy Commander for Civil-Military Engagement, Ambassador Andrew Young, and Director of Intelligence, Rear Adm. Heidi Berg, Jan. 25-27, which fostered cooperative engagement and expanded partnership development.
Prior to the port visit to Sudan, Carson City operated in the Red Sea. Carson City's presence in the Red Sea helps promote peace, security, and freedom of the seas and is a demonstration of the U.S. commitment to maritime security and stability in the region. Russia also plans to build a naval base in Sudan.
"This ship's presence visit to Port Sudan is a demonstration of our commitment to strengthening the relationship between the United States and Sudan as the Sudanese people seek a democratic future," said U.S. Embassy Khartoum Chargé d'Affaires, Brian Shukan. "This visit in turn helps to promote peace, security, and preserve freedom of the seas."

Like all EPFs, Carson City conducts overseas operations, and supports logistics and humanitarian aid. The ship is crewed by nearly 35 U.S. Navy Sailors and civil service mariners.
MSC operates approximately 125 naval auxiliary civilian-crewed ships, replenishes U.S. Navy ships, strategically prepositions combat cargo at sea, and moves military cargo and supplies used by deployed U.S. forces and coalition partners around the world.
USNS Carson City
USNS Carson City (T-EPF-7), (formerly JHSV-7), (ex-Courageous) is the seventh Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport, currently in service with the Military Sealift Command. She is the second ship in naval service named after Carson City, Nevada.
Austal USA built Carson City in Mobile, Alabama. The ship was christened at the Austal USA shipyards in Mobile on 16 January 2016.
Carson City is a shallow draft aluminum catamaran with a flight deck for helicopter operations and a loading ramp to quickly enable vehicles to drive on and off the ship. The ramp is designed to accommodate the limited piers, and quay walls often encountered in developing countries. Like her sister ships, Carson City has a shallow-draft of 3.83 meters (12.6 ft) and can reach speeds up to 45 knots (83 km/h; 52 mph).

The Marine programmes, jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University, are three-year direct honours degrees in various disciplines within marine technology. Well-grounded with fundamentals in marine and offshore technology, students will hone their critical and analytical skills to be practice -oriented and industry-ready in either one of these specialisations – Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering.
Students will go through rigorous academic training and immerse themselves in the marine industry through the Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) with leading marine and offshore engineering organisations such as Keppel O&M Ltd, Sembcorp Marine Ltd, Singapore Technologies Marine Ltd and Wärtsilä Singapore Pte Ltd.
Students will be able to take up modules which are exclusive to these joint degree programmes such as marine classifications, which cover the rules and regulations applied during the design, production and maintenance phases of marine platforms. Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering students will learn about the engineering behind the design, structure, operation and management of ships and other large floating structures. Marine Engineering students will be exposed to marine engineering systems, from the main propulsion engines to auxiliary machinery like power generators, pumps, heat exchangers and other machineries within water, air and hydraulic systems.
The Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering curricula are designed not only to meet the manpower needs of local industries, but also to manifest Singapore's role as a global marine and offshore engineering centre through SIT's applied learning emphasis, enabling our graduates to be both practice-oriented and industry-ready.
These programmes include a high level of industry involvement to impart the latest industry best practices and regulatory requirements to students. This community of students, industry leaders and practitioners, professional bodies and dedicated academics brings about a symbiotic relationship beyond the academic level, allowing students to create a network of invaluable contacts within the industry.
Designed with a strong embellishment of the SIT-DNA, the programmes aim to produce socially responsible graduates who understand the environmental impacts within and across various engineering disciplines.
Diploma holders from any of the five local polytechnics and A level graduates are welcome to apply.
The Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP), a key differentiating factor from other related degree programmes, will see students undergoing a credited 26-week long full-time work engagement at a company relevant to their area of study. During this period, students will apply the knowledge, practical and professional skills acquired during their earlier years of study in the IWSP. At the same time, students will gain valuable work experience and apply it to a Capstone and/or design project during their penultimate year of study.
All students will have to complete a three-week attachment at the home campus of Newcastle University where they get to live and study in Newcastle, United Kingdom. The programme itinerary will include library and career talks, seminars, research and literature review workshops to prepare students for their final-year dissertation projects, as well as visits to companies, museums and key cultural sites.

c) Smooth transition to jobs-practical experience which shortens work induction period, translating to higher productivity and lower training costs to future employers of SIT's graduates. The work experience acquired may also contribute to professional accreditation/certification requirements if applicable.
The IWSP is an integral part of applied learning as it provides an opportunity for students to integrate what they have learnt in the classroom to what is practiced in the real world, and vice-versa. The extended period of IWSP with students performing real work also provides an opportunity for companies to evaluate the suitability of students as potential employees. In effect, the IWSP is equivalent to the probation period. The student will also have ample opportunity to immerse in the industry's business and culture and decide if this is a good industry to work in. Besides producing practice-oriented graduates, IWSP will also be the platform through which students will be challenged during their work attachment stint to initiate innovative projects under the guidance of SIT's IWSP Supervisors and Company appointed Work Supervisors. Through such projects, students will have the opportunity to develop innovative solutions for the projects they have identified. In this way, the IWSP will be a key platform that contributes to the inculcation of the SIT-DNA in every student.

even) that we can visit now. :D Zoos, aquariums, playgrounds, parks, castles, amusement parks... it's so lovely not to be dependent on buses and other crap that never goes when and where you want them to. So we had ourselves a nice summer holiday with all that.
And now Maz was offered a temp teaching job. It's only for a couple of months, but it's full pay, which basically means twice the money he usually gets. Oh, yeah, baby. He wouldn't have been able to go without the car, because it's too far to go on bicycle and the buses are impossible in that direction.
Him: Yeah, that's lucky.
Me: Luck had nothing to do with it!
Him: Uh, right. It's all part of the plan.
Me: You bet it is.
Speaking of luck or lack thereof... No, not lack of luck. We borrowed money for the car from our parents. We had some of the money ourselves and we were cleared to easily borrow more than we needed at a favourable interest rate from Maz's bank, but we decided to ask our parents in the interest of... no interest. Also, no contract fee. And they agreed. We borrowed an amount from my mum and an amount from Maz's parents. I didn't like being too far in debt with anyone, so that's why I insisted on splitting it up to two more manageable amounts. We borrowed 15k DKK from my mum and 10k DKK from Maz's parents and planned to start out with paying each 500 DKK a month and then maybe more a month later if we could afford it.
Mind you, that whole plan was ours. My parents were like, "You need money? Sure. Here. Pffft, let's talk about payments later when you have your taxes and insurances and all that sorted. There's no rush." I began paying them back this month and my mum was like, "Can you afford that?? Do you have money to live on??" And, um, well, no. But we're in the red this month regardless, so those 500 DKK hardly matter a great deal. We'll right it next month, no worries, I'm just not comfortable not paying off my loans when I'm very well aware that it's not the car's fault per se that we're in the red. Remember all those amusements I was talking about? Yeah, they weren't free. Neither was going to IKEA to get a few new pieces of furniture to help the change we're trying to make around here. I know my mum's still fine with waiting for her money (she's outright stated that she likes how we're giving the boys new experiences) but I don't like feeling guilty for other spending, so no.
At the same time I asked Maz to get the account info I'd need from his parents, so I could also begin paying them. That was... an ordeal. Well, no, 'ordeal' is the wrong word. More like frustrating. I like my things orderly, okay? Especially when I owe people money. I don't like owing people money. It makes me anxious to have debts flowing around, so I'd actually have preferred it if our parents would have signed full contracts as to how and when the payments were to occur. Maz's parents were very... at first, his dad said, "Oh, was that a loan?" and then he was like, "Meh, later when you have the money, but not right now. Wait until the time if and when you can better afford it and then we'll see. Yadda, yadda, yadda." I hate that, but of course I'm well aware that I can't voice how much I hate that. I don't like to be reminded at some point in the future that, "Oh, by the way, you owe me 10k." I don't want to randomly remember it as I'm splurging on something else and then feel guilty for not making a bigger effort to pay them back. I want it sorted and with a plan. It probably stems from years and years of my dad using my debts to him to constantly guilt and pressure me into doing whatever he wanted or he'd want the full amount on the spot. Yep, he's a douche, no news there. So I asked Maz to sort it out with his parents.
Of course, then later he talked to his mum and she said the money was a gift. Which doesn't surprise me at all, because that woman has been known to throw money at us. The thing is... well, now it is sorted. It was a gift. I will not be so misbehaved as to demand to pay it back. It does help our economy to get that money, etc, it's just... we're in our thirties. We can pay for our own shit. I know she legitimately wants to help us out financially, and that's part of the reason I don't object (and she knows it makes me uncomfortable, which is why she always gives Maz travelling money when I'm not there) but she works so damn hard and I don't feel right sitting on my ass and harvesting the fruits of her labour.
Argh! But at least now we can pay my mum back faster, I suppose. It's a whole new experience to her to have a debtor that's eager to pay her back. Not getting into specifics since that seems rather douchey and none-of-my-business-anyway, but there are other people that owe her money who don't have any urge at all to get their finances sorted.
Hmm... what other news... We bought a whole pig. Not a live one. It was quite dead and cut up, some of it even ground. We traded away the feet, though. I did not particularly want those. I did not mind standing elbow deep in ground meat and dividing it into smaller bags, but when I accidentally touched a toe, I squeaked. That's how much sense I make. Fortunately we could opt out of getting the head, because ew. The meat of our pig seems to be really good quality and the kilo price was low, so yay!
Kupo is now getting pocket money because he's very interested in the concept of earning money. 10 DKK a week that he's not allowed to spend on sweets (he does get sweets sometimes, we just don't think he should blow his pocket money on it). It's not a lot and he's really no good at saving, but every 2-3 weeks he manages to find some junk toy that he proudly purchases by himself. And he's very committed to doing the minor chores we ask him to do to earn that money.
Snuffles is not bald any longer. He has big blond curls. I might show you sometime when I'm not as tired and lazy as now. Kupo also used to have curls, though, and doesn't seem to now when his hair is heavier, so maybe Snuffles will grow out of it. Snuffles has so much lighter hair than Kupo, though. And very blue eyes. But then, Maz had white-blond hair as a kid as well, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
Snuffles can also speak. Not entire sentences, but sometimes he puts two words together. I'm quite impressed. Kupo was late to the talking game, so the fact that Snuffles can do this at 1½ years (not too uncommon) seems amazing to me.
I lost 15kg since January. I'm at a standstill, but then, I've also been very bad at keeping my diet, so mostly I'm just grateful that I haven't put it all on again. I have been more active since we got the car, though, since I get out more, so that probably helps.
So... that was what I had the energy and inclination to put in today's update. I hope you're all well. :)", "url": "https://akashathekitty.livejournal.com/213912.html", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/sign.png" }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "akashathekitty", "image": "https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/71863129/13572053" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Journal akashathekitty", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://akashathekitty.livejournal.com", "contentUrl": "https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/70542066/13572053" } } }

Summer Life Update. :)
I've meant to post an update for a very long time, but the more time passes, the harder it seems to be to summon the energy. I really haven't a lot of energy for fandom these days. I've really been turned off it, but maybe that will change back, who knows.
I got my driver's license on July 16th. :D It was in second go. My first go, I made the mistake of listening to how others thought I should prepare instead of listening to myself when my brain was screaming it doesn't work that way for us!!! and as a result, I had a bona fide panic attack and failed my test basically as soon as I started the car. I'm actually grateful that I had to wait two weeks for a new test, because it took me more than a week to calm down, and then I started to prepare myself the way I needed to, and telling my instructor what I needed him to do. I thought I might have to work a bit to change the approach, but-
Him: That's actually pretty awesome, you know the nature of your problem and how to deal with it. I get a lot of students that panic like you, but they never even realise or acknowledge the problem, so they simply keep failing and there's little else I can do for them.
Well, huh.
One part of my solution made Maz laugh: Chewing gum. But as he learned, I'm deadly serious about that part. It focuses part of my attention when I need it and gives me something to do that isn't fidgeting or talking or any other thing that might distract me. I often pop a piece of gum when I'm beginning to feel nervous and it helps.
Of course, after he failed his test the second time, he also remembered to chew gum at his third test.
That's right. He failed twice.
Normally it wouldn't make me happy. It certainly shouldn't. It was expensive and very stressful to Maz. But, dammit, I'm the one with all the anxieties and such, and he's the one who ended up needing more tries! It makes me feel good to not simply be Worst At Everything.
Oh, and he passed his third test on July 31st. But I'm not sure the gum can get all the credit. There were other factors. ;)
Once I had my driver's license, we began taking the kids all over the place. There are so many attractions just on Fyn (the island we live on, near a city called Odense, here's a map even) that we can visit now. :D Zoos, aquariums, playgrounds, parks, castles, amusement parks... it's so lovely not to be dependent on buses and other crap that never goes when and where you want them to. So we had ourselves a nice summer holiday with all that.
So... that was what I had the energy and inclination to put in today's update. I hope you're all well. :)

FASTSIGNS® Selected As A Finalist For The 2016 Secretary Of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award
Author: FASTSIGNS®
Leading Global Sign, Graphics and Visual Communications Franchisor Recognized for Exemplary Support of National Guard and Reserve Members
CARROLLTON, Texas (March 21, 2016) — FASTSIGNS International, Inc., the leader in signs, graphics and visual communications, has been selected as a finalist for the 2016 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award (commonly referred to as the "Freedom Award").
The Freedom Award is the highest recognition presented by the Department of Defense to employers for their exemplary support of National Guard and Reserve members. FASTSIGNS International was nominated for the award by Business Consultant and Air Force Reservist Stephen MacKenzie from Indianapolis, Indiana after his recent deployment overseas. MacKenzie and his family received support from FASTSIGNS International to ensure he and his family would be cared for while he was away from home serving his country.
"It's an honor to be considered a top finalist for this national recognition on behalf of the Department of Defense and I believe that standing behind our active duty and veteran employees is part of our corporate responsibility," said Catherine Monson, CEO of FASTSIGNS International, Inc. "We are deeply touched that Stephen MacKenzie nominated us and will continue to stand by our values to offer support and incentives to veteran and active duty servicemen and women who are part of the FASTSIGNS family."
Overall, more than 2,420 nominations were received for the Freedom Award nationally. This year's finalists are comprised of 11 large employers, 10 small employers and nine public sector employers. Recipients of this award will be announced in late May and a formal ceremony at the Pentagon will follow. FASTSIGNS International is the only finalist located in the state of Texas who is in the running to receive this acknowledgement.
Leaders in the veteran community, over 10 percent of FASTSIGNS franchisees are comprised of current and former military veterans. Veterans possess a number of valued skills and a wealth of experience essential to successful franchise business ownership. Veterans are disciplined, driven, self-motivated and obtain leadership skills that make them ideal franchisees.
As part of the commitment to veterans, FASTSIGNS International is also a proud participant of the International Franchise Association's VetFran program (Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative), which assists military veterans by helping them access franchise opportunities through training, financial assistance and industry support. Veterans that join the FASTSIGNS U.S. network can take advantage of specific incentives including a reduced franchise fee of $22,250, a savings of 50 percent, in addition to reduced royalties and advertising fees for the first year. FASTSIGNS International has also been recognized as a top franchise for military veterans by leading publications, including USA Today, G.I. Jobs magazine and Military Times magazine, due to the recognition for the company's financial discounts for military veterans, corporate support and outstanding growth.
For information about the FASTSIGNS franchise opportunity and specific veterans incentives for veterans, contact Mark Jameson at mark.jameson@fastsigns.com or (214) 346-5679.

Q: Automatic SVN revision number? I write Android stuff using Eclipse+the ADT plugin. For VCS I use SVN.
What I am trying to accomplish: have my program, in its 'About' screen,  display the SVN revision number it was built from. Obviously, this better be automatic. We cannot assume the program will have network access when run so this info has to be known at compile time.
Today I've been researching this topic and seems like this seemingly common scenario is actually not so easy to do or I am missing something. Lets see:
1) first approach: write a 'pre-commit' SVN script that, on each commit, would update a little file, that would be named 'revision' and would be located in the root of my project. Then writing a function that would open this file, read the revision number and put it in the 'About' screen would be trivial.
This doesn't quite work as the file would be updated server-side. So imagine this scenario: I check out rev. 3708, modify, commit, pre-commit creates 'revision' with '3709' in it. I build - and my local 'revision' still contains '3708'. Not good.
2) I hear ( Getting SVN revision number into a program automatically ) that SVN has this clever feature that it is able to replace various magic strings in your files, one of then being 'Revision', if one sets appropriate SVN metadata on all files in a project under SVN control.
This does not quite work again, because of the problem mentioned by user 'Smashery' in the link above - namely, SVN will only replace the 'Revision' magic string in files that got changed during the last commit.
3) Write a 'pre-build' Eclipse script, and have it run 'svnversion /path/to/your/project' and save output of this in /path/to/your/project/revision.
This does not quite work again - I mean, I have tried and writing such script is actually surprisingly easy. If I were working on a single computer, it would have worked for me - but unfortunately I work on two computers, one Linux machine in home and another Windows machine at work. I keep switching machines every day (during the day Windows, in the evenings Linux at home).
The problem here is with Eclipse: as soon as you add a 'pre-build' script, it creates a new hidden directory in your project folder ( .externalToolBuilders ) , which, among other things, contains the absolute path to the script to run (obviously). This path cannot be the same on both of my machines (being Linux and Windows). In order for things to be automatic, I need to check this in to SVN, and as soon as I do, things will work only on one of my machines unless I keep manually correcting the path every day!
Any ideas?

A: Third way (slightly polished) can be and will be The Right Way, if you'll grok some things

*

*Workplace specific settings must not be shared and stored in repository: ignore .externalToolBuilders on both locations but configure Eclipse differently according to your needs and settings

*Except identical for all OSes svnversion (and don't forget ignore also /path/to/your/project/revision, because build-artifacts must not be part of repository) you may want to use more powerful somehow subwcrev (on Win-box) and  svnrev (on Linux-box) in pre-build event - svnrev also contain some useful reading

A propulsive and ambitious novel as electrifying as The Wire, from a writer hailed as the West Coast's Richard Price—a brutal and mesmerizing epic of crime and opportunity, race, revenge, and loyalty, set in the chaotic streets of South Central L.A. in the wake of one of the most notorious, incendiary, and racially charged trials of the 1990s, involving the severe beating of a civilian black man and three white LAPD officers.
At 3:15 p.m. on April 29, 1992, a jury acquitted two Los Angeles Police Department officers charged with using excessive force to subdue civilian Rodney King, and failed to reach a verdict on the same charges involving a third officer. Less than two hours later, the city of LA, a powder keg of racial tension, exploded in violence as people took to the streets in a terrifying orgy of rioting that lasted six days.
A gritty and cinematic work of fiction, All Involved vividly re-creates this turbulent and terrifying time, set in a sliver of Los Angeles largely ignored by the media during the riots. Ryan Gattis tells seventeen interconnected first-person narratives that paint a portrait of our prejudices, and our complexities. With characters that capture the voices of gang members, firefighters, graffiti kids, and nurses caught up in these extraordinary circumstances, this edgy writer catapults into the ranks of such legendary talents as Dennis Lehane and George V. Higgins.
All Involved is a novel of historical fiction set during the 6 days of the 1992 L.A. Riots. It tells of this chaos with an unmatched level of scope, authenticity, and insight into the South Central city of Lynwood, as well as the overlapping worlds of firefighters, nurses, graffiti artists, and, most of all, members of Latino street gangs because it is grounded in extensive research & background that granted me an unprecedented look into this world. (I talk more about the dangers & difficulties of winning the trust of one particularly powerful former gang member in my TEDx Talk.)
The novel's title is taken from the slang. It refers to someone who is part of the Chicano gang life in Los Angeles—the gang capital of the world—but it's something more too: its latter half is also LAFD jargon for a conflagration, i.e. a burning building is involved. Perhaps most crucially, it's also a description with the ghost of the third person plural: (We are) all involved. Which is apt. Because this also pertains to the 17 different first person narrators, and the peripheral characters woven throughout the novel, the ones who—regardless of circumstances—are swept up in the chaos. They are the voices of this era in Los Angeles, doing what they can to survive.
This is why I hope my novel hits you how my research hit me: a dark window into an internationally infamous event that somehow manages to be something entirely new, terrifying, and enlightening. This book is for anyone who has ever seen clips of the riots on television, for anyone who ever thought the reasons for it at the time were not enough to explain its scale, for anyone who ever wondered why it went on as long as it did, and, perhaps most especially, this book is for those who have yet to hear a word about the L.A. riots of 1992.
In this way, All Involved is a time capsule about the human cost of the riots: the struggles, difficulties, and even hopes of Angelenos during the most dangerous time in the city's history.
The novel won the American Library Association's Alex Award (2016) & the Lire Award for Noir of the Year (France, 2017).

About All Involved
...a high-octane speedball of a read: gritty, nerve-racking, sometimes excruciating in its violence and at the same time animated by a bone-deep understanding of its characters' daily lives in a gang-ravaged neighborhood in Lynwood, South Central."
Michiko Kakutani
More of What People Are Saying
Corrosive, timely, vividly realized scenes of urban warfare and thwarted dreams, by a writer who clearly knows his subject: the netherworld of Los Angeles in the early 1990s."
Author of Blonde
All Involved is a monumental achievement. Ryan Gattis takes the reader into the broken, outraged heart of Los Angeles during the '92 riots and doesn't blink once at what he finds there."

The 58-year-old singer - whose band REM disbanded in 2011 - was "surprised" at how comfortably he settled back into the recording studio while producing Fischerspooner's new LP 'Sir', but he insists the experience wasn't enough to make him want to set down his own track.
He said: "[Producing 'Sir'] definitely brought me back to music in a very unexpected way. I had had a good five years off, away from writing and composing.
