As states unfurl their Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plans, we've been hearing a common dialog from state education leaders—promising on the one hand, troubling on the other.
State leaders are taking seriously the mandate to retool their statewide accountability systems, especially with regard to addressing the bottom 5 percent of schools. States are figuring out the detailed metrics of their school performance indicators and developing evidence-based turnaround solutions for schools that fall within the bottom 5th percentile on performance. More responsive and robust accountability metrics and more concerted attention on underperforming schools bodes well for educational progress.
But even the states that are most serious about gearing up to intervene in the bottom 5 percent are quietly worried about their SEA's capacity to support innovation and improvement in the other 95 percent of schools, most of which also need to change and improve. Even the highest-functioning schools need to adapt in how they prepare students for a changing world economy and innovate to serve an increasingly diverse student population.
The responsibility for improving the majority of schools necessarily falls to our education frontline—the public school teachers, principals, and district staff who work with students every day. Improvement rests, too, on families' ability to choose the best fit for each student and push for school improvement. Yet rarely do those developing ESSA implementation plans and policies consider what states can do to remove policy barriers and empower these frontline actors. Neither in ESSA planning, nor in the whole of state policy, can states expect to muscle their way to widespread student success by focusing only on the periphery or by ignoring the central role of district and school leadership.
The accretion of state law over the years has constrained local education leaders' and parents' ability to innovate, improve, and transform their schools.
States have set up command-and-control frameworks for districts, viewing districts—rather than schools—as public education's first responders, which is at odds with school-level efforts to address the individual needs of students and communities.
State policy leads to conflicts and disincentives that play out for the worse at the local level.
State leaders stop tying the hands of local education leaders and instead advance state policy that leverages local problem-solving ability.
It is easier for local education leaders to develop systems of autonomous schools.
State and local education leaders have a shared framework they can use to catalyze local problem solving.
Our State Self-Assessment tool allows states to identify policy barriers relevant to their context, then consider policy suggestions outlined in our analysis. In using the tool, a state might find that it is hindering district schools from hiring staff that agree with the school's instructional approach, or that its pathways to create different kinds of autonomous schools are underutilized and would benefit from being made less arduous and more available to all districts, not just those on the margins.
Just as tinkering is no substitution for transformation, problem-solving that is removed from the place and the people who implement the solution will not induce a thriving system of schools for the 21st century.

Charles Heavysege (May 2, 1816 – July 14, 1876) was a Canadian poet and dramatist. He was one of the earliest poets to publish in Canada. He is known for his critically acclaimed play Saul.

Life and writing
Heavysege was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England. Heavysege left school at 9, to return only briefly later. He emigrated to Montreal in 1853 where he worked as a wood carver. In 1860 he became a reporter for the Montreal Transcript, and later for the Montreal Daily Witness, where he eventually became city editor.

As a poet, Heavysege was mainly influenced by "Milton, Shakespeare, and the Bible."
His first published work was The revolt of Tartarus, a poem in six parts, published in two editions: one under his own name in London in 1852, and a second, heavily edited and published anonymously in Montreal, in 1855.

He published Sonnets in 1855, Saul: a drama in three parts in 1857, Count Filippo; or, the unequal marriage in 1860, The Owl (an imitation of Poe's "The Raven") and The Huntsman in 1864, The Advocate (a prose work) and Jephthah's daughter in 1865, and Jezebel in 1867.

During his lifetime, Saul was Heavysege's best-known work. Nathaniel Hawthorne passed on a copy to the North British Review, where it was given a laudatory (unsigned) review by Coventry Patmore, who called it "indubitably the best poem ever written out of Great Britain." That was followed by further favorable reviews in the Atlantic Monthly, Galaxy, and New York Evening Post. Saul was published in two further editions, in 1859 (also in Montreal) and 1869 (in Boston). (The Boston edition was reprinted in 1876 and again in 1967.) Other admirers of Saul were Canadian Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald and American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Heavysege was internationally known by the 1860s and 1870s, paving the way for later Anglo-Canadian poets, including Charles Sangster and Charles G.D. Roberts.

W.D. Lighthall, who included Heavysege's work in his 1889 anthology Songs of the Great Dominion, wrote that Heavysege's poetry was not particularly Canadian, and that he didn't have a large readership in Canada. Nonetheless, he declared that Canadian critics "claim him as perhaps their greatest, most original writer." He believed that Heavysege's poetry was worth appreciating and would continue to be popular.

However, his reputation declined in later decades; as national pride grew in the 1920s, he was criticized for not really being a "Canadian writer". He continued to be supported by poets W.W.E. Ross, Ralph Gustafson, and A.J.M. Smith.

In 1956, while dismissing Saul and Count Filippo as "Victorian dinosaurs," Canadian literary critic Northrop Frye acknowledged Heavysege as the "first poet who really came to grips with" what Frye considered to be "the central Canadian tragic theme" (that being "the indifference of nature to human values"): "His third poem, Jephthah's Daughter, seems to me to reflect more directly the influence of his Canadian environment, as its main themes are loneliness, the indifference of nature, and the conception of God as a force of nature."

Saul was produced as a radio drama by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1974. Alan Scarfe performed the title role.

In fiction
Solly Bridgetower, a character in Robertson Davies' The Salterton Trilogy, is an associate professor of English at the fictional Waverley University, and is urged by his department chair, Dr. Sengreen, to stake out a claim in the emerging field of "Amcan" (American-Canadian literature) by editing a scholarly edition of Heavysege's collected works, in order to earn tenure and make a name for himself (Leaven of Malice, 1954).

Publications
Heaysege published nine works of poetry and prose in his lifetime:

 The revolt of Tartarus. London, UK: Simpkin, Marshall & Co, 1850. Liverpool, UK: D. Marples, 1850. Montreal, 1855.

Строгание — разновидность обработки резанием металлов, либо неметаллов: дерево, пластмасса, эбонит и пр.
Процесс строгания обычно осуществляется механическим или ручным способом. В обоих случаях может иметь вертикальный или горизонтальный способы обработки.
 Механический способ строгания на строгальном станке осуществляется путём возвратно-поступательных движений режущего инструмента закреплённого в резцедержателе, либо самого изделия, закреплённого на рабочем столе строгального станка. В последнем случае резец неподвижен.

Строгание в деревообработке
Для обработки дерева строганием используются ручные инструменты, например, шерхебели, рубанки, фуганки, стамески, а также деревообрабатывающее оборудование, например, рейсмусовый станок.

Строгание в металлообработке

Строгание металла — процесс срезания слоя материала с заготовки резцом при поступательном главном движении. Станки, на которых так обрабатывают материалы, называют строгальными.

Для обработки металлов строганием применяются различные станки: поперечно- и продольно-строгальные, кромко-строгальные, строгально-долбежные и другие. Важным параметром таких станков является скорость резания равная скорости движения резца или изделия.

DRAFT HISTORIC PRESERVATION LAW PROVOKES DISCUSSION – NOVEMBER 2017
By Buffy Calvert
At its meeting on October 11th, the Town Planning Board had a short agenda but lengthy discussion. Chairman Frank Winkler and members, Alex Adelson, Bill Palmer, Art Reed and John Reynolds, appointed Winkler and Reed to represent the Planning Board on the Committee to review and tweak the Andes Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2003. They agreed it was ripe for review. For example: Airbnb didn't even exist back then! Now this unseen enterprise is a major feature of our economy.
Although no formal request has yet been made for its input, the Planning Board discussed at length a draft of the proposed Historic Preservation Law. As outlined in the draft document, the law would be administered by a 5-person Commission appointed by the Town Board. They would select Historic Districts and Landmarks. The law would be triggered by proposed alteration or demolition or neglect by owners of buildings designated as part of a Historic District or a Landmark.
Any owner of such a building who wanted to alter its exterior would need to go for a building permit, get approval from the Planning Board and apply to the Historic Preservation Commission for a "Certificate of Appropriateness." Without approval of each of these entities, work could not proceed.
Routine maintenance, including painting, is not considered alteration. Changes to windows, porches, roof lines, doors, or "historic features," etc. would require all three applications.
The Commission would also monitor neglect. The draft document reads: "No person [owning a building] in a historic district shall permit the property to fall into a serious state of disrepair…which would, in the judgment of the Town of Andes Historic Preservation Commission, produce a detrimental effect upon the character of the historic district as a whole…" [Section 18 c]
Demolition is frowned upon as it destroys a historic place forever. It must be avoided unless the building is a public hazard or totally worthless.
Penalties for violating this law are, as one Planning Board member put it, "robust." "Violation of this law is deemed an offense punishable by a fine of $100 for each day that the violation continues, imprisonment for up to six months, or both."
All members of the Planning Board, and this reporter, took home a copy of the draft document to study. It should be presented to the Town Board on November 9th. ~

What's in this review?
Sony announced the Xperia XZ2 Compact alongside its bigger sibling, the Xperia XZ2 back at Mobile World Congress in February 2018.
I've already reviewed the Xperia XZ2, finding it a solidly built but ultimately frustrating phone. Typically, the small or "lite" versions of a handset are worse than their bigger siblings, but Sony has pulled off a remarkable feat with the Xperia XZ2 Compact, producing a handset that is superior by a pretty wide margin.
Squat size makes it easy to hold and carry around
Lack of a headphone jack remains frustrating
Read more on the Xperia XZ2 Compact design
The Xperia XZ2 Compact shares the same new, softer design philosophy of the Xperia XZ2, but understandably shrunk down a little. This has a few positive and negative effects.
With dimensions of 135 x 65 x 12.1mm, the Xperia XZ2 is both compact in overall size while also feeling rather thick compared to current handsets. This means that it's easier to hold in the hand and notably much easier to grasp than the super-slippery body of the Xperia XZ2.
At the same time, the Xperia XZ2 Compact has more bulk than you might expect, which gives it the weird sensation of feeling like a new Sony design while also feeling rather like a throwback to much earlier phone designs. Place this face down next to an iPhone 3G, and Apple logo aside, you might not pick up the difference.
That smaller size gives the Xperia XZ2 Compact other advantages over its larger sibling than just being less slippery. The rear mounted fingerprint scanner is easier to reach and feels less out of place than on the Xperia XZ2's larger frame. Sadly, there's no headphone jack for those who don't like Bluetooth headphones or dongles, but Sony's hardly alone in making that jump.
Sony also hasn't opted for a "notched" display, with the Xperia XZ2 Compact having notable top and bottom bezels around its 5-inch 1080p display. Again, its small size works in its favour here because a larger display would inevitably mean bezels that stood out even more.
4K video recording and slow-motion capture add versatility
Single-lens array lacks the capabilities of modern dual-lens set-ups
Read more on the Xperia XZ2 Compact camera
Sony makes the vast majority of the world's good mobile phone camera lenses, but it's been notably reticent to get on board with dual camera lenses for its own handsets. It did show off its first dual camera lens at MWC 2018, but that's not what you'll find in the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, which features a rear 19MP f/2.0 lens and a front 5MP f/2.2 selfie camera. It's exactly the same sensor as found on the bigger Xperia XZ2, which means, not shockingly, that it performs much the same way.
In the single camera premium space, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is a good performer in most conditions, with a few neat tricks up its sleeve. You get the same access to Sony's 3D Creator suite of apps for scanning objects (or your own head) if that appeals to you. Likewise, you also get a dedicated camera shutter button on the side of the Xperia XZ2 Compact, although the smaller size of the phone could be an issue for some with larger hands in this respect.
The Xperia XZ2 Compact also features 960fps slow motion video capture, although you do get a smaller capture time frame if you opt for Full HD resolution. Sony's competitors in this space top out at 720p, and you'll double your recording time if you drop down to that setting. Optionally, you can go for 120fps for automatic post-editing if that's more your style. As always with super slow motion features, you can get an entirely new view on the mundane, but you'll need decent lighting, preferably outdoors to get acceptable results.
I had some issues with spotty performance when testing the Xperia XZ2's camera, but didn't hit the same problems with the Xperia XZ2 Compact, even though they are running the same software and hardware in this respect.
There's definitely something to having a smaller camera in your pocket to quickly capture those blink-and-you'll-miss-them moments, even if it's only because it's easier to whip it out of your pocket.
Here's some sample shots from the Xperia XZ2 Compact:

Every bit as powerful as the full-sized Xperia XZ2
Smaller screen size tempers the impact of all that power
Read more on the Xperia XZ2 Compact performance
The Xperia XZ2 Compact stands out in the small smartphone space because Sony didn't compromise on the internals relative to the larger model. The Xperia XZ2 Compact runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 SoC with 4GB of RAM onboard. Storage is modest at 64GB, but it does allow for microSD expansion through the SIM card slot. Sony continues to use flimsy plastic SIM card trays, which annoys me, but most users will just drop a SIM and storage in there and not fuss about such things.
In straight line benchmark terms, the Xperia XZ2 performs quite well. Its solid performance matches or in some cases exceeds that of comparably equipped handsets, all of which feature larger displays:
It's not rocking a large 2K or 4K display, but that didn't faze it for 3D work either, topping out our current selection of premium phones in 3DMark's Slingshot Extreme test:
Still, there's a trade-off present here, and it's in how you'll work with a smaller screen on a day-to-day basis. As an example, the Sony Xperia XZ2's display is Full HD, with support for HDR content viewing as a point of distinction between similar handsets. However, at this size, watching HDR video can't help but feel a little constrained if you've used any larger handset for any span of time.
Sony persists in featuring its own apps for functions such as music, photos and email, but being an Android device, you're not forced into using them. Sony's switch away from plain Android 8.0 to its own UI inevitably involves a small learning curve, but nothing too onerous.
One feature on the Xperia XZ2 that you won't find on its compact sibling is the dynamic feedback motor that gives games, music and video a little extra punch. I can't say that I missed it as my experiences with that feature on the larger handset were largely unsatisfactory.
Delivers all-day longevity under moderate use
Fast charging, but no support for Qi wireless charging
Read more on the Xperia XZ2 Compact battery life
The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact has less size for battery capacity than its bigger sibling, but then it's also running a smaller display screen, albeit at the same resolution. Its onboard 2870mAh battery is comparatively tiny against just about any Android powerhouse handset, so my hopes for battery endurance weren't high.
As it turns out, while the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact doesn't have a whole lot of battery power to speak of, it certainly makes the most of what it's got.
Geekbench 4's battery test runs a regular schedule of usage in a linear fashion, which isn't likely to be the way you use the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. Still, even in more ad-hoc testing, the Xperia XZ2 Compact could get through a day's moderate usage without an issue.
That smaller battery might be a concern if you do tend to really stress phone batteries, but for most users it will be fine. Fast charging via USB C is supported, but it does drop the wireless Qi charging found in the Sony Xperia XZ2 if that's important to you.
Packs all the premium bells and whistles into a more pocket-friendly form factor
A more capable small-screen device than the iPhone 8
Read our full Xperia XZ2 Compact verdict
If you want a small-screened but powerful phone in the premium space, your choices are massively restricted, with Sony more or less just taking on the Apple iPhone 8 in this regard. Just about everyone else's smaller phones are running on older, less powerful hardware.
The iPhone 8 is a nice phone, and if you're in the iOS camp, it's the phone to buy. However, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is in just about every way a better device overall. It's not just the "default" winner of the small powerful phone race, but a good phone in its own right, even if it is within a rather pudgy case.
There is a challenge in pure value terms here, and it's one that you should consider before buying the Xperia XZ2 Compact. At $949, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is a little less expensive than comparable handsets, but you've got to really love that small form factor. Jumping up around $100 or so (or less on sale), and you'll get a lot more screen space to play with.
Unless you really haven't been paying attention, if you want a small and powerful handset, you're bereft of real alternative 2018 choices within the Android ecosystem. If you don't mind jumping over to iOS, you can consider the Apple iPhone 8, but be prepared to pay more for it.
Within the Sony family, the Xperia XZ2 is clearly the closest match to the Xperia XZ2 Compact, but it has issues around its rather slippery design. Frankly, if that appeals to you, you'd be better off with HTC's slightly nicer and similarly priced HTC U12+. If you're after a more richly featured camera phone at around the same price, consider the Huawei P20 Pro, one of my current favourite flagships.
If you're keen on a Snapdragon 845 phone and you can find one, you could alternatively opt for the impressive OnePlus 6 handset, which you should be able to find at around the same price point as the Xperia XZ2 Compact or possibly even lower.

Q: Why is useState not updating state with the keydown handler? I'm trying to create a simple React image slider, where the right/left arrow keys slides through the images.
Problem
When I press the right arrow ONCE, it works as expected. The id updates from 0 to 1, and re-renders the new image.
When I press the right arrow a SECOND time, I see (through console.log) that it registers the keystroke, but doesn't update the state via setstartId.
Why?
Also, I am printing new StartId: 0 in the component function itself. I see that when you first render the page, it prints it 4 times. Why? Is it: 1 for the initial load, 2 for the two useEffects, and a last one when the promises resolve?
The Code
Here is my sandbox:
https://codesandbox.io/s/react-image-carousel-yv7njm?file=/src/App.js
export default function App(props) {
  const [pokemonUrls, setPokemonUrls] = useState([]);
  const [startId, setStartId] = useState(0);
  const [endId, setEndId] = useState(0);

  console.log(`new startId: ${startId}`)

  const handleKeyStroke = (e) => {
    switch (e.keyCode) {
      // GO LEFT
      case 37:
        break;
      // GO RIGHT
      case 39:
        console.log("RIGHT", startId);
        setStartId(startId + 1);
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchPokemonById(id) {
      const response = await fetch(`${POKE_API_URL}/${id}`);
      const result = await response.json();
      return result.sprites.front_shiny;
    }

    async function fetchNpokemon(n) {
      let pokemon = [];

      for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        const pokemonUrl = await fetchPokemonById(i + 1);
        pokemon.push(pokemonUrl);
      }
      setPokemonUrls(pokemon);
    }

    fetchNpokemon(5);
  }, []);

  useEffect(() => {
    window.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyStroke);

    return () => {
      window.removeEventListener("keydown", handleKeyStroke);
    };
  }, []);

  return (

      <Carousel pokemonUrls={pokemonUrls} startId={startId} />

  );
}

A: Inside handleKeyStroke() call setStartId(prev=>prev+1)
Updated handleKeyStroke()
 const handleKeyStroke = (e) => {
    switch (e.keyCode) {
      // GO LEFT
      case 37:
        break;
      // GO RIGHT
      case 39:
        console.log("RIGHT", startId);
        setStartId(prev=>prev + 1);
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  };

Explanantion
In the code above, you're adding window.addEventListener inside useEffect with empty dependency array. And inside handleKeyStroke(), you are setting the state this way setStartId(startId + 1);.
Because of the useEffect, when handleKeyStroke() is initialized, it is initialized with values which are available on mount. It doesn't access the updated state.
So, for example, when you call setStartId(startId + 1);, handleKeyStroke() has the value of startId=0 and it adds 1 to it.
But next time when you call setStartId(startId + 1);, the startId value is still 0 inside handleKeyStroke. But when we use callback syntax it has access to previous state.

A: Got it working with @Inder's answer.
I made a few mistakes:

*

*Updated the state setter to use a callback instead. Not sure why that works, I will do some research (eg. setStartId(id=>id+1) instead of setStartId(startId+1))

*Used the div's onKeyDown prop instead of window.addEventListener. That is how react expects you to bind event listeners to elements.

*onKeyDown doesn't work on divs by default, because it doesn't expect any inputs (unlike <input />). But if you add tabIndex=0 to it, it allows you to focus on the div, and therefore enables the onKeyDown listener on it.

Here is the final code:
const POKE_API_URL = "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon";

const Carousel = ({ handleKeyDown, pokemonUrls, startId }) => (

);

export default function App(props) {
  const [pokemonUrls, setPokemonUrls] = useState([]);
  const [startId, setStartId] = useState(0);
  const [endId, setEndId] = useState(0);

  const handleKeyDown = (e) => {
    switch (e.keyCode) {
      // GO LEFT
      case 37:
        if (startId - 1 >= 0) {
          setStartId((prev) => prev - 1);
        }
        break;
      // GO RIGHT
      case 39:
        if (startId < pokemonUrls.length - 1) {
          setStartId((prev) => prev + 1);
        }
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchPokemonById(id) {
      const response = await fetch(`${POKE_API_URL}/${id}`);
      const result = await response.json();
      return result.sprites.front_shiny;
    }

    async function fetchNpokemon(n) {
      let pokemon = [];

      for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        const pokemonUrl = await fetchPokemonById(i + 1);
        pokemon.push(pokemonUrl);
      }
      setPokemonUrls(pokemon);
    }

    fetchNpokemon(5);
  }, []);

  return (

      <Carousel
        handleKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
        pokemonUrls={pokemonUrls}
        startId={startId}
      />

  );
}

Q: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller error - AS I have this code snippet inside a function that checks if an object exists on stage and removes it:
public function closeContent(e:MouseEvent):void {
    removeChild(txt);
    removeChild(ldr.content);
    removeChild(_closeButton);
    container_mc.visible = false;
    statusText.text="";
    if (contains(submitButton)) {
        removeChild(submitButton);
    }
    if (contains(saveinfoButton)) {
        removeChild(saveinfoButton);
    }
}

I tried to change stage with this and root but always get this error ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller

A: The error signals that you are trying to remove a DisplayObject with removeChild that apparently is not a child of the DisplayObjectContainer this code is executed from.
One way to solve this problem is to check if the object you are trying to remove is actually a child of the container using contains. You are doing this for some of the objects you are removing (submitButton and saveinfoButton), but not for some others.
Try wrapping the removeChild calls for txt, ldr.content and _closeButton in if statements that use contains to check whether these DisplayObjects are in the container.

A: Try with:
e.currentTarget.parent.removeChild(txt);
e.currentTarget.parent.removeChild(ldr.content)
etc.

A: Try this:
public function closeContent(e:MouseEvent):void {
    removeChild(txt);
    removeChild(ldr.content);
    removeChild(_closeButton);
    container_mc.visible = false;
    statusText.text="";
    if (contains(submitButton)) {
        removeChild(submitButton);
        removeChild(saveinfoButton);
    }
}

You may be able to add both items for removal in the conditional with &&:
    if (contains(submitButton && saveinfoButton)) {

Lab's labourers lost?
By Derek Lowe2013-07-02T00:00:00+01:00
How long should scientists stay at the bench, asks Derek Lowe. How long is a piece of string?
Images.com/Corbis
Most chemists start out in their first jobs by doing a lot of work at the lab bench. That's only fitting: they've just come through an intensive period of scientific training, which has probably involved a truly excessive amount of bench work. Their skills are (one hopes) better than they've ever been. So the hands are in good shape to contribute, which is good, because in most cases the brain needs some time to catch up.
That's because no new employee is in a position to know what the key issues are in their new job. They haven't had a chance to experience them firsthand. In my own field, chemists typically come into a drug discovery effort knowing very little about the biology of the disease they're targeting, and even less about such industry-specific topics as toxicology testing and formulation. But they do know how to make new molecules, and new molecules are definitely needed. So they're put to doing that as quickly as possible, with the understanding that they'll pick up the rest of the details as they go along.
I believe the process is very similar in many other industrial positions. In academia, the skills that need to be picked up include teaching courses, writing successful grant applications and running a research group effectively. All of these need to be learned on the job. While they're getting their groups going, young professors often have to pitch in with the lab work as best they can, in the hopes of generating publishable (and fundable) results.
There are excellent scientists who are hopeless at administration, and capable administrators who should avoid flammable solvents
In time, though, chemists of all sorts pick up experience, and their responsibilities change. Some move into management and administration, now worrying as much (or more) about budgets, project management and departmental issues as actual synthesis. No one expects them to do much (or any) bench work. To be honest, in some cases that's a good thing for everyone involved. But in other cases, talented experimentalists can find themselves gradually spending more time in their offices and less at their fumehoods. Years later, they end up wondering exactly how that happened. There are also those who spend a good deal of effort to stay on the 'scientific track', and resist being completely taken away from lab work.
It's worth remembering, though, that in some research cultures people are expected to get out of the lab as quickly as possible. The traditional German and Swiss industrial style, for example, had even young PhD chemists in their offices, supervising laboranten, experienced lab assistants who did most (or all) of the actual bench work. British and American chemists have always found this system a bit odd, but no one can say it's been ineffective. Is there some rule, then, about when an experienced chemist (of any age) should make room in the lab for someone else?
After thinking this over, the only advice I can give is to leave as much flexibility as possible for individual cases. People should go where their passions and abilities take them. If a chemist feels as if they're just going through the motions in their lab work, they almost certainly are. These people (and their organisations) would be better served if they took on some other duties. On the other hand, no one is going to set up experiments more diligently than someone working on their own great ideas. As long as someone still has (or ever had!) the skills to do that, they should have the opportunity to do it.
Sticking with a formula, though, is asking for a series of small disasters. There are excellent scientists who are hopeless at administration, just as there are plenty of capable administrators who should never be allowed near flammable solvents. If an organisation insists that a chemist with x years of experience should not have a fume hood, but should spend their afternoons in steering committees, they run the risk of ending up with the sort of people who are only fit for steering committees. On the other hand, an experienced scientist at the bench should be working on hard, high-risk problems, not just cranking out a series of trivial sulfonamides (even if that does allow them to skip more meetings). Is your own organisation flexible enough to deal with both of these?

Brookwood ER on U.S. 280 has clear path after Supreme Court decision
NORTH SHELBY — After five years, Brookwood Medical Center has a clear path to open its long-planned freestanding emergency room on U.S. 280. On Oct. 11, the Alabama Supreme Court refused to hear arguments from Trinity Medical Center attorneys against allowing the freestanding ER to open. That Supreme Court refusal effectively exhausted the potential legal challenges against the freestanding ER, according to Brookwood spokesperson Stephen Preston. "This is something we've been working on for almost 10 years now," Preston said. "We look forward to moving forward as quickly as possible on construction."

Home League One Videos League 1 transfers of the window!
League One Videos
League 1 transfers of the window!
It was League 2 yesterday, and now it is the turn of a look into the League 1 transfers from this window. Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday's recent relegations mean that the third division is even more stacked now, the pair's transfer dealings making it even more so. From Accrington Stanley through to Wycombe Wanderers, here we go…
Joel Mumbongo to Accrington
Burnley's Joel Mumbongo is League 1 bound (Photo by James Williamson – AMA/Getty Images)
Starting at the Wham Stadium with Accrington Stanley who have welcomed Joel Mumbongo on loan from Burnley. Mumbongo is one of a few youngsters for the Clarets who have joined Accrington, the Swede having a strong scoring record in PL2 whilst making a few substitute appearances for the first team under Sean Dyche. He has been yet to really get the chance in the Premier League so at 22, a loan move to League 1 should hopefully see him take that next step.
Amadou Bakayoko to Bolton
BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 26: Amadou Bakayoko of Coventry City during the Sky Bet Championship match between Coventry City and Stoke City at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium on December 26, 2020 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by James Williamson – AMA/Getty Images)
Amadou Bakayoko went up with Coventry to the Championship but failed to score and he has now joined Bolton. Bolton themselves have been on the move, returning to League 1 swiftly via automatic promotion to atone for their dramatic slide down the football league. Bakayoko arrives along with Declan John from Swansea and they have signed Oladapo Afolayan permanently following his loan spell, making up a strong window.
Omari Patrick to Burton

Next to Omari Patrick, a versatile forward who has been signed by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for Burton Albion. He played all across the frontline for Carlisle, mixing in with Lewis Alessandra and co cohesively. Again, his output doesn't exactly blow you away but he has proven to be a strong role player. Burton were exciting under the Dutch legend and so hopefully Patrick can contribute to the continuation of that.
Kayne Ramsay to Crewe
Southampton's Kayne Ramsey is also League 1 bound (Photo by Joe Prior/Visionhaus/Getty Images)
From Mumbongo loaned out by Burnley to Kayne Ramsay being loaned out by Southampton, both to League 1. Ramsay is very highly rated on the South Coast and whilst Hasenhuttl was evidently keen to bring through youngsters, the chances for him were too few and far between. Ramsay, like with Yan Valery and Kyle Walker-Peters, is a dynamic fullback who can work well going both ways. Ramsay to Crewe is a move that excites me greatly and I think it won't be long until he is a regular in the Premier League.
Jordy Hiwula to Doncaster

The previously mentioned Amadou Bakayoko crossed paths with Jordy Hiwula at Coventry and the latter has now signed for Doncaster. Hiwula is a striker who has a half decent strike-rate in truth, scoring roughly 1-in-4 in League One across a few clubs as well as doing well in PL2 and the cup competitions. Donny legend James Coppinger has retired at the ripe age of 40 and so this is almost a new era at the Keepmoat. Hiwula will instead be joining Omar Bogle and Fejiri Okenabirhie up front, the latter had a great 20/21 League 1 season and so they could go well this time around.
Rekeem Harper, Conor Chaplin and Macauley Bonne to Ipswich

(Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images)
Where to start with Ipswich? Ipswich missed out on the playoffs last season but their summer transfer window should work wonders as they go for a return to the Championship. It was impossible to boil it down to just the one, Macauley Bonne proved with Charlton that he can be a prolific goalscorer at this level for starters. Conor Chaplin is the same, he did well at Portsmouth and Doncaster before performing with Barnsley in the second division too. Finally, Rekeem Harper was easily good enough for the Championship for West Brom and because he didn't get the chance in the Premier League, he'll surely be one of the best midfielders in League 1.
Hakeeb Adelakun to Lincoln
BRISTOL, ENGLAND – JANUARY 16: Bristol City's Hakeeb Adelakun during the Sky Bet Championship match between Bristol City and Preston North End at Ashton Gate on January 16, 2021 in Bristol, England. (Photo by David Horton – CameraSport via Getty Images)
Hakeeb Adelakun wasn't blessed with chances at Bristol City and he is one of a few strong attackers to be joining Lincoln. The Imps are lacking talent in that area of the pitch without these introductions; Adelakun along with Chris Maguire from Sunderland and Southampton youngster Dan N'Lundulu on loan too. He arrives on a free and it is pretty low risk for an ambitious club who are consistently on the rise.
Troy Parrott to MK Dons
COLCHESTER, ENGLAND – JULY 21: Troy Parrott of Tottenham Hotspur during the pre-season friendly between Colchester United and Tottenham Hotspur at JobServe Community Stadium on July 21, 2021 in Colchester, England. (Photo by Matthew Ashton – AMA/Getty Images)
On the topic of players who are highly rated at their former and/or parent club, Troy Parrott is stuck in the middle really. He doesn't have the chances available to him at Tottenham but at the same time, has been unable to really strut his stuff on a loan move. He wasn't prolific at either Millwall or Ipswich so hopefully things are different in this League 1 stint. The departure of manager Russell Martin for Swansea leaves MK Dons in the lurch a bit so we shall see what happens.
Jordan Houghton to Plymouth Argyle

As an Argyle fan myself, I remember when Jordan Houghton was last at the club and he was a very effective player. Under Derek Adams, he along with Hiram Boateng formed a superb midfield for League 2 and whilst he may not have maintained that level since, these memories give me hope. Ryan Lowe is very different to the departed Scotsman but Houghton knows the club and his return to Home Park has been met with positivity by the fans. We tailed off in the latter stages of last season but I still think that a fair few people will be proven wrong in predicting us to face relegation out of League 1 this time around.
Olamide Shodipo, Florian Kamberi, Lewis Wing and Bailey Peacock-Farrell to Sheffield Wednesday

Ipswich were recently in the Championship and their transfer dealings tell you that, the same can be said for Sheffield Wednesday who were a mainstay there prior to last season's relegation. Bailey Peacock-Farrell was an excellent goalkeeper for Leeds at that level and the move to Burnley didn't really make much sense. Regardless though, the Northern Irishman must now be the best goalkeeper in League 1. Olamide Shodipo comes in on loan from QPR after a solid 2020/21 season with Oxford, Lewis Wing is a major coup arriving from Boro and then there is Florian Kamberi. Wow, Florian Kamberi in League 1! With Hibs in Scotland, Kamberi was arguably the best player outside of the big two for a while and he even played for Rangers, attracting the interest of lower end PL clubs and Europa League teams across the continent. Kamberi being in League 1 just blows my mind.
Charlie Wyke to Wigan
SUNDERLAND, ENGLAND – MAY 22: Sunderland's Charlie Wyke during the Sky Bet League 1 Play-off Semi Final 2nd Leg match between Sunderland and Lincoln City at Stadium of Light on May 22, 2021 in Sunderland, England. (Photo by Chris Vaughan – CameraSport via Getty Images)
Charlie Wyke and goals went hand-in-hand at Sunderland last season, the striker scoring twenty-six times in the Blackcat's unsuccessful promotion push. Only Clarke-Harris of Peterborough outscored Wyke and so to see him on the move has raised a few eyebrows to say the least. He has joined another of the big teams in League 1 in Wigan, a side that is obviously going to be less ambitious and a side who probably won't be as high up as Sunderland. Age isn't exactly on Wyke's side but regardless, his departure is an odd one.
Sullay Kaikai to Wycombe

Finally then to one of the sides who have been relegated down to League 1, Gareth Ainsworth's Wycombe. Their infrastructure wallows in comparison to that of the other Championship sides so to get there in the first place was sensational, but now they're back in the third tier. Wycombe have lost both Fred Onyedinma and Uche Ikpeazu in the attacking third, meanwhile midfielder Josh Scowen has arrived as well as two forwards. Sully Kaikai is primarily a winger whereas Sam Vokes is quite the old-school striker, he could suit Ainsworth. Focusing on Kaikai and the former Palace man contributed to fifteen goals last season for an exciting Blackpool squad, his numbers will probably be less but as a result of who Wycombe are.

Podcast Episode 170 – Max Grossman
http://traffic.megaphone.fm/BPNET5476832065.mp3
Agents get a bad rap. They're like lawyers and IRS agents.
But they're nothing like those folks.
I can't imagine that an IRS agent gets into this business because he or she loves taxes.
But agents, especially those in the theater, are all here for the same reason you and I are here . . . they love the theater.
Max Grossman, an agent for writers and designers at the powerful but still boutique Abrams Artists Agency, is a perfect example. He grew up going to the theater, flirted with sports, and came back to the good side of the force.
We haven't had many agents on this podcast (just this one so far – who happens to represent me!), partly because some of the agents I asked couldn't get permission from their higher-ups (which says a lot, don't you think?).
But when I asked Max, he was happy to sit down and talk about what an agent does as well as . . .
How he finds new writers.
That awkward but important moment when he has to tell a client he doesn't love something the client wrote.
The art of negotiating as an agent.
Why some theater writers succeed in transitioning to film & TV and others don't… and a tip or two for you if this is something YOU want to do.
What he'd tell all Broadway Producers if he had them in a room at once.
Enjoy this convo with Max and let it remind you that even when we're on "different sides" in this business, we're still on the same team.

Businesses run by women are less likely to be approved for a small-business loan than those run by men, according to the Federal Reserve. However small-business loans for women are available, and resources like government-backed Women's Business Centers offer training to help bridge the funding gap.
Here are some of the best loans for women-owned businesses — including options for startups and those with bad credit — plus information on grants and other programs for female entrepreneurs.

Types of small-business loans for women
Small-business loans for minority women
Other resources for female entrepreneurs
The right loan for your business is typically the one that costs you the least while fitting your funding needs. Women-owned companies may be able to tap into multiple types of business loans, including:
There are several SBA loans that female entrepreneurs can tap for financing, including the flagship SBA 7(a) loan program. Banks, online lenders and other financial institutions offer these loans, which are backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The SBA 7(a) loan program offers low interest rates and long repayment terms — making it a good option for a variety of use cases. Small businesses that are more than 50% female-owned received 13.7%, or $5.01 billion, of the SBA 7(a) loans approved in fiscal year 2021, according to the Congressional Research Service.
To qualify, however, you'll need an established business, good credit and solid finances.
SBA 7(a) loans are traditionally slow to fund, but if you need access to capital more quickly, the SBA Express loan provides a faster timeline. The SBA strives to return decisions on Express loans within 36 hours.
These SBA loans have smaller maximum funding amounts, but still offer competitive interest rates and repayment terms for those who qualify.

Bank business loans
Small-business loans from banks typically come with the lowest costs but toughest eligibility qualifications.
In 2016, large banks approved 50% of women-owned business applications and small banks approved 67% — the highest among all funding sources — according to the most recent data from the Federal Reserve.
However, overall bank approvals have shrunk greatly since then, with Biz2Credit's November 2022 data finding 14.6% and 21.1% approval rates at large and small banks, respectively.
If you have a lower credit score (a FICO score between 300 and 689) or have been in business for less than two years, an alternative online lender could be a good choice.
These lenders offer multiple products (including term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing and invoice factoring), specialize in speedy funding and have looser qualification requirements than banks. The trade-off for those conveniences is borrowing costs may be higher than other options.
Microloans
Many mission-based nonprofit organizations offer microloans to local businesses, often focusing on businesses owned by women, people of color and veterans.
For example, Grameen America provides loans ranging from $500 to $2,000 to entrepreneurial women who live in poverty. Microloans can be a good option if you can't qualify with a bank or online lender or have a small financing gap.
Female business owners in historically underserved communities can access funding from SBA lenders, nonprofit organizations and specialty programs — and may have more success with these options than applying for traditional business loans.
Through the SBA Community Advantage loan program, nonprofit lenders and community development companies offer funding to minority- and female-run businesses in low-income and rural communities.
Many nonprofit lenders also offer microloans and other forms of business financing for women- and minority-owned businesses in their communities outside of the SBA loan program. For example, Accion Opportunity Fund says nearly 90% of its clients are women, people of color or low-to-moderate income borrowers.
Some banks, like Union Bank, distribute minority business loans through specialty lending programs. Union Bank's program offers loans and lines of credit to women-, veteran- and minority-owned businesses with more flexible qualifications than its standard business loans.

If you're a female entrepreneur with bad credit, it may be more difficult to get a loan for your business. There are a few options for bad credit business loans, however, but keep in mind interest rates may be higher than alternatives.
Some online lenders are willing to work with businesses with bad credit, especially if they have strong finances. Fora Financial, for example, only requires a minimum credit score of
for its business term loan. Similarly, you may be able to access a business line of credit from Fundbox with a minimum credit score of
Nonprofit lenders and community financial development institutions, or CDFIs, may also offer small-business loans for women with bad credit. These lenders often provide funding to traditionally underserved business owners, which can include those with poor or limited credit.
For instance, TruFund is a CDFI that operates in New York, New Jersey, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Georgia. The organization issues a variety of types of business loans, including term loans that only require a minimum credit score of 600 to qualify.
Startup funding is elusive, but targeting the right lenders and programs can improve your chances of securing a startup business loan for your women-owned business.
The SBA microloan program is designed specifically for startups and early-stage businesses (startups received nearly 40% of all SBA microloans in fiscal year 2021). And SBA Community Advantage loans typically go to businesses that have been in operation for fewer than three years.
SBA microloans are issued by nonprofit organizations. Find providers in your area on the SBA website.
Additional startup funding options include small-business grants and crowdfunding. If you have good personal credit, you may qualify for a personal loan for business. Most personal loans are unsecured, and some loan amounts go as high as $100,000.
Business credit cards also offer financing for women-owned small businesses who are starting out or looking for working capital.

Government and nonprofit organizations offer free assistance to women entrepreneurs. These programs may provide women with help completing steps to getting a small-business loan, like writing a business plan, and guidance on topics like starting a business, financial management and marketing.
Women-owned businesses can get free funding through grants from government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Here are places to look for small-business grants for women.
Women's Business Centers
The Women's Business Centers are a network of more than 100 educational centers around the United States that help women start and grow their businesses. These SBA-funded centers typically offer seminars and workshops on a range of topics, including how to start a business and raise capital.
Federal contracting programs
The SBA-run Women-Owned Small Businesses Federal Contracting Program is for women-owned businesses that are interested in government contracts. Women can also apply for a certification from the SBA 8(a) Business Development program, which allows all "socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities" (including women) to compete for set-aside federal contracts.
Ascent online learning platform
Ascent is a free digital tool launched in 2021 as part of a joint initiative between the White House, SBA, the U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This online platform offers tools, quizzes and other learning resources designed to help women entrepreneurs who are looking to grow their businesses.
DreamBuilder
Created by the Freeport-McMoran Foundation, DreamBuilder is an online education program for female business owners. The program offers two course options — one course is designed to help entrepreneurs start their business, while the other focuses on how to finance your operations. It's free to enroll in the DreamBuilder courses, and they're available in both English and Spanish.
National Association of Women Business Owners
The National Association of Women Business Owners, based in Washington, D.C., has 5,000 members and nearly 60 chapters across the country. It offers training and information on topics such as access to capital, government contracting and business certification.
National Women's Business Council
The National Women's Business Council works with the Office of the President, Congress and the SBA on issues related to women business owners. Resources include help for startups, alternative lender programs, conferences and mentor groups.
The best business loan is generally the one with the lowest rates and most ideal terms. But other factors — like time to fund and your business's qualifications — can help determine which option you should choose. NerdWallet recommends comparing small-business loans to find the right fit for your business.
Where can women get small business loans?
Women can get small-business loans through online lenders, credit unions and banks. Online lenders offer more speed, convenience and looser qualifications than most credit unions and banks, but may charge higher rates.
How hard is it for a woman to get a business loan?
According to the Federal Reserve, women-owned businesses are less likely to be approved for a small-business loan, compared to companies owned by men. Nevertheless, established women-owned businesses with good credit and strong finances shouldn't have too much trouble getting a loan.
How do you apply for a women's business loan?
To apply for a women's business loan, you should first compare options and find the lender that can offer the lowest rates, while still meeting your financing needs. You'll likely need to provide basic information about you and your business, financial statements and tax returns to complete an application.
Depending on the loan you choose, you may also have to provide documentation showing your company is majority-owned and operated by a woman.

A while ago, I shared some photos from Adam's woodland-themed birthday party where I DIYed a few things. Well, this is yet another DIY - his special birthday play suit!
I had been planning his birthday outfit for ages (because I'm that kind of person, lol) and I knew that I wanted to knit it. I looked through countless baby outfit patterns on Ravelry before deciding on this one - the Lesley Sunsuit by Erika Flory (Ravelry page HERE and web page with pattern HERE).
I followed the pattern for the size M, which fit him perfectly during his party. However, I wish I had gone a size up so he could get more wear out of it. Having said that, this pattern was so easy, I'm already making another one for my niece, and planning to make a bigger one for Adam too!
While the pattern is easy and makes for a lovely item, I did make one modification: instead of knitting the body of the bib in stockinette, I did it seed stitch. I was inspired by other knitters' versions on the pattern's Projects page, plus I love the texture that the seed stitch brings to an otherwise simple pattern. In the future, I'd love to play around with things like bobbles and cables in this part of the play suit.
Anyway, I decided to find something at the Yarn and Craft Market (which I blogged about HERE). I knew I wanted something DK/8-ply weight, preferably superwash, in a specific brown hue. It took hours for me to find the right yarn! But I'm so happy with what I ended up using for this project that I'll be buying more from them in the future. As soon as I keep my stupid promise to myself to use up my yarn collection first, hmph.
The yarn I chose is by Half Baked Hand Dyed. I thought I'd have just enough yardage in one skein to complete the project, but I ended up having plenty of yardage leftover. I made a small crown for my little birthday boy (which he didn't want to wear) and I still have plenty of yarn left. I don't really know what to make with it yet! Maybe a crown for myself, for doing such a great job? Lol.
The cute buttons I got at Spotlight. I originally wanted a fox button (of course) but couldn't find something that looked rustic enough (read: not cartoony). I'm happy with the ones I chose, though. I love that they look a little like tortoise shells!
I'm so happy that I made this play suit for Adam's first birthday. He can barely squeeze into it now - about a month later - but I'll be keeping this forever. That's the special part of making things for people you love - even when they no longer fit, they become keepsakes. As I always tell people I gift my knitted items to: every stitch was made with love. And this one's almost overflowing with it.
Are you on Ravelry? Don't forget to add me as a friend!

Student speakers
Four graduating students were selected to speak during commencement in May:
"It's a bittersweet moment, standing on this stage today, because I really don't know how long it will be before I'm back," said Aldridge. "But I think that's okay, because today, I am only leaving the location, not the people. The friendships that I have made here will never leave my heart."
Nicole Aldridge, CSci'19, CpE'19, spoke during the Friday evening ceremony.
"My undergraduate studies at S&T, in conjunction with campus involvement and internships, were undeniably a springboard for my career at Black & Veatch," said Noring. "A distance education from S&T allowed me to continue my education through the demands of a career."
Levi Noring, CE'13, ArchE'13, MBA'19, also spoke Friday evening.
"As we go into our careers, the things that will propel us forward are the moments at S&T that aren't from books or computers; they're the friendships, leadership opportunities, campus organizations, and 2 a.m. doughnut runs," said Fender. "They are the challenges we have faced and overcome."
Morgan Fender, ChE'19, spoke during the Saturday morning ceremony.
"I want to share the excitement and knowledge that S&T has imparted to me with others, whether co‑workers, future students, or friends," said Joyce. "My time at S&T will live on in my memory forever, and I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to learn so much."
Moira Joyce, EMgt'19, spoke during the Saturday afternoon ceremony.
