How can I help my child be confident in her second language skills?
Malty the Blue Tiger
It's easy to feel self-conscious when you're beginning to speak in a second language — even for us adults! — but that everyday practice is so very crucial for developing fluency. That's why we visited with our friend Clarissa Duskin, M.Ed., a parent representative for the National Association for Bilingual Education and coordinator of English learners at St. Lucie Public Schools in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Here, she shares her insight on what we can do to get kids speaking fearlessly out in the wild — just like Malty! READ MORE

The Teaching Profession in Crisis: The Reasons and Remedies —
April 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The American teaching profession is in crisis. Over the last decade, the number of students graduating from teacher education and preparation programs has plummeted 23 percent. At the same time, the numbers of educators leaving K-12 schools have climbed to the highest levels since these records were first compiled. On both the recruitment and the retention fronts, America is losing teachers at alarming rates, with serious consequences for the students in our schools. READ MORE
Recognizing and Celebrating April as National Bilingual/Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month
Dr. Yee Wan, Director, Multilingual & Humanities Education Department, Santa Clara County Office of Education and Past NABE President.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, in 2014-2015 there were nearly five million bilingual/multilingual learners in the U.S. Thirty-six states and the District of Columbia adopted the Seal of Biliteracy for recognizing graduating seniors who have demonstrated proficiency in a language in addition to English. NABE's advocacy efforts resulted in the passage of House Resolution 690 – Recognizing and Celebrating April as the National Bilingual/Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month. This is a great opportunity for a national effort to highlight the language and cultural assets bilingual/multilingual learners bring to school, celebrate advocacy efforts and advocate for bilingual/multilingual learners and their families.
These are some ideas for communities across the nation to introduce to celebrate during the advocacy month.

Students will have the opportunity to submit artwork that demonstrates their understanding of "Celebrating Language and Culture." As a culminating activity, we will host a showcase on Thursday, April 25, 2019 from 4-7 pm to honor students, and champions of bilingual/multilingual learners and their programs in these areas:
Dual Language Programs: Seal of Biliteracy and Pathway Awards
Achieving Language and Academic Success
Diversity and Global Education
Parent and Community: Leadership and Engagement
This showcase will spotlight district or school teams' advocacy efforts in valuing and affirming bilingual/multilingual learners and their families.

64th Annual Conference of the International Linguistic Association
Centro de Estudios del Lenguaje en Sociedad,
Universidad Nacional de San Martín Buenos Aires, Argentina
May 30 to June 1
Major theme: Language and Territory
The International Linguistic Association has held conferences in many countries around the world, including one in Latin America, where in 1972, the 18th Annual Conference took place in Arequipa, Perú. Now, after several decades have passed, the ILA will return to Latin America in 2019 for its 64th Annual Conference to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the International Year of Indigenous Languages (proclaimed by the United Nations), the central theme of this conference, language and territory, will explore the current debates around local, national and global languages and literacies; the ways in which linguistic borders have been defined, enforced, and inherited, but also challenged, through time, by means of geographical, political and social justifications; and how these practices are being re-examined today.

Here's where the Every Student Succeeds Act stands
The Every Student Succeeds Act turned three years old in December, but only recently have many districts and schools begun to experience the law's impact. That's because states and districts have only just started identifying low-performing schools. Those schools are starting to create plans to fix their issues. And relatively soon, more schools are going to be identified for problems with particular groups of students. Plus, states are going to have to put all sorts of new information on their report cards, including financial transparency requirements. READ MORE
Latino Family Literacy Project helps students and families
The Dover Post
English language learners at Blades Elementary School are getting some extra help in la biblioteca. Blades' Latino Family Literacy Project was recently recognized by the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce as a 2019 Superstar in Education. Blades Elementary serves 452 students. About 30 percent do not speak English at home, primarily speaking Spanish. The project helps Spanish-speaking families develop family reading routines by providing bilingual texts, developing school-parent connections and building community among Latino families. READ MORE
How the Texas House school finance bill could shortchange many children learning English

What's behind the Department of Education's school funding rollbacks?
By: Patrick Gleeson (commentary)
Why is the Betsy DeVos-led Department of Education continuing to slash education programs? And why, despite criticism even from congressional Republicans, has the department continued to slash budgets for disabled and disadvantaged children while increasing budgets for school choice? There seems to be a clear approach in DeVos' budgets that, while cutting budgets generally, has shifted remaining funds away from at-risk populations and toward wealthier families. READ MORE
The race research cited by DeVos
A major justification for a controversial policy action taken by the Trump administration regarding discipline in schools relied on research from an academic considered well outside the mainstream who didn't know his work was being used to bolster the decision. The issue came to light Tuesday, when Rep. Katherine Clark, a Democrat from Massachusetts, pressed Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos about her reasons for revoking Obama-era discipline guidance during a congressional hearing about the president's proposed budget for the Department of Education.

The science of literacy is not a thing, so can we please stop saying that it is?
School Leaders Now
Learning to read is a lot like trying to lose weight. If there were an exact science for either, everyone would be sitting around at a healthy weight happily reading the next book in the stack they keep next to their bed. Yet, we are bombarded with statements like, "It's just calories in and calories out" or "It's as simple as your ABCs." But it's not so simple, is it? Human beings have complex issues that cannot be solved with one easy solution. So, let's stop treating literacy as if it can easily addressed and start training teachers to really help kids learn to read. READ MORE
Do you speak my language? You should
In January, the Modern Language Association made an astonishing announcement in The Chronicle of Higher Education: From 2013 to 2016, colleges across the United States cut 651 foreign language programs. French was the hardest hit, losing 129 programs, followed by Spanish with 118, German with 86 and Italian with 56. Once these programs close, they are very hard to reopen. According to a Pew study from last year, only 20 percent of K-12 students in America study a foreign language (compared with an average of 92 percent in Europe), and only 10 states and the District of Columbia make foreign-language learning a high school graduation requirement.

Evolution: How the theory is inspiring a new way of understanding language
Words are often seen as the building blocks of languages. But as children we don't learn lists of words like we might in a school language class. We learn longer strings of sounds and break them up into words as we grow up. One of the problems with our current theory of how language works is that it doesn't take these longer strings into account. READ MORE
Fighting teacher stress
A few years ago, Amy Lopes, a veteran fifth-grade teacher in Providence, Rhode Island, learned that teachers at her school could try a mindfulness and yoga training along with their students. Her immediate reaction: "What a bunch of baloney!" "I said, 'OK, I'll try it, but it's not going to work,'" recalled Lopes, who teaches at the William D'Abate Elementary School. "But, within a couple weeks, I just let go and became a learner along with my students, and my whole world has changed." READ MORE
Helping students beat test anxiety
A rapid heartbeat. Sweaty palms. Clouded thoughts. For many students, the biggest obstacle to passing a test isn't what they know, but the anxiety they feel. Stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on a student's ability to concentrate on tests, leading to poor performance and, ultimately, fewer opportunities to succeed in school. A new study highlights an effective solution: Guide students to view stress differently — as a boost instead of a burden. Simple 10-minute writing exercises given just before a test helped students see stress as "a beneficial and energizing force" that could help them. READ MORE
Technology and speaking

Are you a speaking teacher who wants to use technology in class? Are you enthusiastic but too busy to research and decide the best next step? Are you ready to make a plan to include technology in more activities and in different ways in your speaking classroom? Most teachers would answer with a resounding "Yes!" to all of these questions.

Report: States are spending way too little on schools
When it comes to learning, money matters, and state leaders aren't providing schools with enough of it for their students to meet national average test scores, according to a new research paper issued by the Albert Shanker Institute and co-authored by Bruce Baker, a top school finance expert from Rutgers University. "There is now widespread agreement, backed by research, that we cannot improve education outcomes without providing schools — particularly schools serving disadvantaged student populations — with the resources necessary for doing so," the authors concluded.

4 simple ways to support English learners' comprehension
When facing challenges working with English learners, start with an empathetic approach. These students often feel overlooked, left out, and confused in school situations. Body language, facial expressions and tone of voice can let them know that you care. Creating a welcoming environment provides a foundation for learning, and the once you've established that environment, you can support these students in their language acquisition with a few simple strategies.

Will artificial intelligence make the college classroom more accessible?
Artificial intelligence has seeped into almost every corner of higher education, popping up in the classroom, administrative offices, and even in dorm rooms and on campus grounds — all with the promise to streamline tasks and create a more personalized college experience for students. As the technology steers colleges away from a one-size-fits-all approach, it is helping them make progress on one of their most long-running goals: making higher ed more accessible to all types of learners. It is doing that in several ways. Among them, by scanning class materials for accessibility issues, improving learning tools for students with disabilities and offering personalized resources for learners who may need additional support, such as those who speak English as a second language.

Study: Almost half of new teachers consider leaving within 10 years

The nature not the quantity of the workload, with its emphasis on accountability and performance, was the crucial factor in decisions to leave. READ MORE

That is the heart of a community but isn't teaching its children to read well enough to go to college, get jobs and give back? If you shut the school down, you inflict a gaping wound on those families. If you don't, you condemn the next generation to the same fate as the last. READ MORE
The teacher diversity gap is literally inherited
Children often follow in their parents' footsteps. For example, many children root for the same teams and like the same foods as their parents. But do they enter the same professions? Over the past year, teacher strikes have brought to national attention the plight of teachers across the country. Teacher shortages and a lack of teacher diversity are major issues facing schools right now. Recent evidence shows that teacher shortages exist and are expected to worsen. So where do new teachers come from? Many come from existing teachers — that is, they inherit the teaching profession from their mothers. READ MORE
With no paid parental leave, many teachers return to class before they're ready
Teachers spend their days taking care of other people's children. But what happens when they have babies of their own? Unlike other developed nations, the United States does not mandate paid parental leave. And the K-12 education sector is no exception, despite being dominated by women in their childbearing years. Just a handful of states, including Washington state and New Jersey, as well as the District of Columbia, provide paid parental leave for teachers. And some individual school districts offer it, too.

Increase screen time to increase literacy proficiency

Like it or not, educators and parents of young schoolchildren know (or will soon find out) the rigorous literacy demands being placed on students today. A friend shared she was surprised by the reading level and number of books her 6-year-old was supposed to be reading. She'd been reading bedtime stories to her daughter. What she didn't realize was that schools today expect young children to be reading their own stories with proficiency at such a young age. READ MORE

Like the idea of the gold line if it could be more of an express than the current Green Line. Limit number of stops, to get people from Minneapolis to St Paul faster.
Should just give better visibility to the 94, which will always the best way to go straight from downtown to downtown.

If/when 94 between the downtowns gets MnPASS lanes, it seems like a no-brainer to replace Route 94 with an extension of the Gold Line (Gateway BRT). Would greatly increase the prominence of the 94 service, and it would probably boost Gold Line ridership from the East Side significantly.
Postby mattaudio » December 26th, 2017, 3:46 pm
I'm guessing there's far more demand for downtown-to-downtown than for the Gold Line itself. So why not through-route a few St. Paul BRT services to Minneapolis? For example, Gold Line, Rush Line, and maybe Red Rock if that ever becomes BRT. All of those services could enter DT St. Paul and proceed along a common route to DT Minneapolis. Come up with some sort of label add-on for this downtown connector service. It would also likely increase ridership of these past-St.Paul BRT services if riders could have a one-seat ride to/from Minneapolis.

One of the ideas I've been kicking around in my head for awhile is an express LRT line between the DT's. I think the best way to accomplish that would be to run in a dedicated lane down the center of 94. On the STP end you use the tracks between Union Depot and the X that will be already be there because of Riverview. And on the MPLS side you link into the Blue Line tracks around Cedar-Riverside. Add in stops at Snelling and somewhere around the U.
Obviously it could be challenging to lose a lane in both directions on 94 but if you could have LRT passing cars at 55-65 MPH in the middle of rush hour it wouldn't be hard to convince people to ride it. There would be capacity issues in each DT's but that's going to be an issue with any expansion of rail in either DT

Umm, you know the Green Line was originally planned to be this, but the neighborhoods didn't want something else to divide communities like 94, and the Met Council wanted development, so a 94 route was scrapped for University...

Postby DanPatchToget » December 27th, 2017, 9:12 am
How about monorail or maglev? Wouldn't take up any land (besides pillars and stations) and it could operate even faster than rail on 94. Besides the two downtowns have one stop somewhere near the U of M and one at Snelling.
Of course I would be satisfied with the existing Route 94, Green Line, and numerous regional rail routes operating as a S-Bahn system connecting the two downtowns and branching off outside the urban core.

The green line (formerly central line) planning process choice to prioritize neighborhood service and development along University does not negate the strong desire for faster, better, direct intercity rail transport. Many have argued that it should have been a "Both/And" situation instead of an "Either/Or". I think they made the correct choice if we are limited to one option, but we don't need to be limited in a "Fantasy Map" scenario.
1. I am aware of the community wanted in University but as BoredAgain said it didn't have to be an "either/or" it could have been a "both/and". You could make a case that adding an express dedicated right of way service between the DT's along 94 and along with adding or relocating Green Line stations would do more to serve the community.
2. I wasn't trying to downplay the loss of a driving lane on 94 it's a real issue but I also think it would remove a large number of cars, and buses for that matter, from the interstate.
3. It's a fantasy idea, like most listed in the thread.

One thought I've had, in the realm of fantasy-but-still-plausible, is that the urban segments of both 35W and 94 would be great candidates for median-running LRT, with freeway lids surrounding the stations. We have a huge logistical advantage over something like the Big Dig in that our urban highways are already below-grade. You could use development rights on the lids to avoid the stations-in-the-middle-of-nowhere problem common to freeway transit, as well as reconnect neighborhoods and partially finance the project. It's basically (a) a subway without any digging, (b) a way to heal the scars of the urban highway projects, and (c) a way to create new land in our most valuable areas.
The 94 project could connect the downtowns in 15 minutes instead of 40, with access to, and huge nontransit benefits for, important and under-served areas like Rondo, Hamline, Seward, Convention Center, and even Loring if it looped around downtown. 35W could finally give some sort of permanent transit to South as well as serving our busiest commuter corridor with an appropriate capacity.
Apparently MnDOT has at least considered a similar concept relatively recently: https://urbanland.uli.org/industry-sect ... velopment/

You could probably do this cheaper (but with most of the benefits) by having MnPASS lanes added on 94 similar to 35W and then build the land bridges with improved stations in the center. Cheaper than putting down rail, but still connecting the downtowns.

I saw [CR145] Denisa Allertova (CZE) play for the first time yesterday when she played against [CR25] Sabine Lisicki (GER), and I was impressed by how flat she hits the ball, her pace, and her composure. Her game took Lisicki by surprise and she handled Lisicki's pace with ease.
Today Allertova played [CR37] Varvara Lepchenko (USA), after she lost the first set and was down an early break in the second set, I thought that Lepchenko, the more experienced player, would win the match; however, Allertova believed in her game and continued striking the ball with pace and depth, eventually wrestling the match away from Lepchenko.
Lepchenko was so unnerved when Allertova broke back in the second set that she dropped her next service game to give Allertova a commanding lead in the set. Although Allertova got anxious serving to win the set, Lepchenko was so flustered, she was unable to convert any of the break opportunities presented.
Nerves plagued both players in the third set and Allertova could not hold on to her lead. Lepchenko not yet ready to concede the match evened the score and again I thought, she can win this match. However, Lepchenko's fragile confidence wilted at the prospect of a lead, and she immediately lost her serve. In the end, Allertova controlled her nerves and served an ace on match point to win 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.

TSROD understandably making gains
Further to my post yesterday and my ongoing and increasing disillusionment with anything political, be it British, European or South African, this fits so nicely.
To be honest, the only reason that TSROD isn't sweeping the board is that it's clearly a new option which people haven't considered before.
If you offered the average man individual on the street The Sweet Release Of Death, they'd likely politely turn you down.
It's only when you offer them the choice between The Sweet Release Of Death and any of the political parties on offer that TSROD suddenly becomes such an attractive option.
And that's completely understandable.

Fed up with Brexit
I am. And I'm not even very involved.
(More involved than some people think (bless him and his little army), but still…)
I'm fed up with the mess that it's made of politics, the economy, the people and the news.
I'm fed up with the drama llamas on both sides, of the constant wailing and gnashing of teeth of the Remainers and the blinkered stiff-upper-lipism of the Leavers.
I'm fed up of either side twisting any given news story to somehow suit their narrative.
I'm fed up with people expecting their elected MP to listen to their specific viewpoint rather than that of their electorate. Can you imagine if the vote had gone the other way and yet the Government had still gone ahead with leaving the EU? Because that's pretty much the equivalent of saying that the referendum shouldn't count. You don't get to keep trying until you get the result you were hoping for.
I didn't get to vote in the 2016 referendum: I wouldn't have been able to anyway: I was on the beach in Mauritius when it all happened. Shame.
But for the record, I would have voted to remain*. And that means that I would have been on the losing side too. Bummer.
Because yes, democracy is great until people don't choose the option you wanted them to. And step forward that old "but there was so much disinformation, so many broken promises!" chestnut. Well, sadly that's politics. It's crap, but show me any political campaign that's been entirely truthful; any manifesto to which the party in question has kept. It simply doesn't happen, and yes, maybe (some of) those voting to leave were naive enough to be seduced, much in the same way that you likely were (subconsciously or otherwise) whenever you last voted for anyone**.
Some of the stuff that I've heard from bitter Remainers has had very little to do with the truth as well. This breaking news, just in: Not everything is about you. Not everything is about Brexit.
Perhaps the one redeeming feature of Jeremy "the scruffy communist" Corbyn is that he was also going to follow through on the result of the democratic vote if he were ever elected [laughs in that's not going to happen]. Kinda weird for him not to take the low-hanging populist fruit, but still…
And one other thing that has struck me about this whole thing is that while the EU "respects" the UK referendum result, there's very much a Hotel California vibe in their "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" message to the rest of the EU, probably brought about by some other close polls in other countries.
While I believe in some benefits of the EU, holding it up as some sort of bastion of freedom and honesty is clearly misplaced. It's every bit as rotten and hypocritical as any other political organisation. If you choose to overlook that simply because it suits your argument, then expect short shrift from me.
In fact, don't expect much from me at all if your day seems to consist solely of stuff about Brexit. No matter which side you're on.
Yes, I'm aware that it's important. I'm aware that it's current. I'm aware that you're not very happy.
It's just that I'm totally and utterly fed up with Brexit.
* thus alienating half my readers immediately, because you're not allowed to like people from "the other side", just like when you were 5 years old in the school playground. Analogy very deliberate.
** But of course not. Because you would never allow that to happen to you, would you? That's something that only happens to other people. Not you. Right. Ok then.

Did Britpop cause Brexit?
Question in the Grauniad:
(Which, to be fair, the article itself also thankfully concludes.)

On voting
When the UK PM called a general election recently, I spotted this line on Facebook:
Please god let the "great" British public stay in bed and let the rest of us make a sensible decision.
…which, you know, is a bit demeaning to a lot of people who might not happen to share the same point of view as you do.
The individual in question voted Labour in the last election (they lost) and voted to remain in the EU in the recent referendum (that side also lost). Since then, that person's timeline has been a cascade of anti-Conservative (they won) and anti-Brexit (also a winner) stories and articles.
And that's fine. Each to their own.
Really, my only problem comes when "Remainers" protest about the steps that the Government have taken towards the UK leaving the EU. Yes, the referendum was a close run thing, and there are probably lessons that we could learn from that when running future referendums, but it still finished 52-48. That means that a majority of people voted to leave the EU, and thus, the Government should be taking steps to do so. That's what referendums are for. That's how they work.
Look, I'm sorry for you that there weren't enough people sharing your point of view to swing the vote in the way that you wanted. Democracy can be a real bummer when more people vote the other way.
But then imagine, if you will, that the Remain vote had won 52-48 (or whatever). If more people had voted to keep the UK in the EU. Imagine then that the UK Government had ignored that majority and gone ahead with Brexit anyway.
Pandemonium! And rightly so!
Having asked the question and got the answer, how could the powers that be drive their fat political steam roller over the wishes of the British people?
And yet that's exactly what you're demanding must happen, simply because the result didn't go your way. Simply because "the 'great' British public" chose to wake up that day and spoke their mind.
No. It's entirely reasonable that the Government do what the majority of the public demand. Whether you like the decision or the Government or not.
But I find this idea that your side holds some sort of intellectual or moral high ground over the other simply because the viewpoints don't agree is rather pompous and actually counterproductive. Some people argue that it's one factor as to why Trump won the US election.
But to be honest, for me, it's less about the collective effect of these sorts of protest (which has been negligible anyway) and more about me finding out a bit more about people I know on Facebook. And that's no bad thing either.

Yes, let's change the rules this time…
…just for the sake of it.
Incoming all over your Facebook (if you have UK contacts on there, at least) – this:
And that's because there's been a change in the leadership of the governing party, and the leader of the governing party also holds the post of Prime Minister, thus there has been/will be, any time real soon just now, a change in Prime Minister.
People whose favoured party isn't the governing party aren't very happy about this because… well, because they're just not very happy. Much like they weren't happy about the result of the EU referendum vote, which didn't go the way they wanted it to, or the result of last year's general election, which they lost, they're wanting to move the goalposts.
The online petition is simply a 21st Century version of the lynch mob. [link]
Simply, they're calling for the rules to be changed because the current outcome doesn't suit them.
And is there precedent for this sort of thing?
Well yes, there is. After all, Gordon Brown (2007), John Major (1990), James Callaghan (1976), Alec Douglas-Home (1963), Harold MacMillan (1957), Anthony Eden (1955), Winston Churchill (1940), Neville Chamberlain (1937), Stanley Baldwin (1923), David Lloyd George (1916), Herbert Asquith (1908), Henry Campbell-Bannerman (1905) and Arthur Balfour (1902) were all appointed without a general election.
But those 13 names count for nothing now, because (possibly without the exception of Gordon Brown), there were no online petitions when they took the job. And there was no issue with Gordon Brown getting the job because firstly, the people who opposed him weren't the sort to whine about everything just because it doesn't fit their agenda, and secondly, it was just nice to get rid of Tony Blair.
And when Gordon Brown followed the example of Balfour, Asquith et al. and said that he wasn't calling a general election, he made Labour's bed. They were quite happy to lie in it back then, shame the mattress seems to have got a bit lumpy all of a sudden now, hey?
Please understand that I'm not saying that nothing must ever change. That's not a very flexible, constructive or progressive way of handling things. But there has to be a better reason for changing things than "I just don't like it".
That said, I'm looking forward to taking exactly that approach with football games in the upcoming season. Each time Sheffield United lose (it's ok, I'm old enough now to realise that it will happen), I'll start an online petition to get the rules on winning changed. I sense promotion in our near future; that is until one of the other teams complains about the promotion rules and launches an online petition.
But we're supposed to be grown up now. We're supposed to understand that not everything will go the way we want it to, and that we need to be able to deal with difficulties that life throws at us.
We can't keep whinging and whining like spoilt tween brats, just because we don't always get our own way.
Or can you?

The iMEDIA project aims to establish a business and technology framework for Suppliers, Advertisers and Consumers in the TV Advertising process. The proposed system will broadcast advertisements comprising video commercials and interactive content (optionally leading to external product catalogues), monitor (with consumer permission) the interactivity of viewers in order to measure the efficiency of the advertisements and products and finally offer personalised information through a TV set-top box in the consumer household. The applicability and acceptability will be demonstrated and assessed through trials with the involvement of real actors (RAI & ERT). The methodology involves requirements specification and gathering both from the end-users, domain experts, and surveys on particular aspects of the advertise domain; the specification of an overall system architecture and the initial design of its relevant components. A mock up demo will be presented to users in order to validate the specification choices, and demonstrate the user functions. The whole process will lead to the implementation of an initial prototype and its evaluation through the end-user involvement. Finally a re-design and implementation activities will take into account the evaluation results and the demands of the market, leading to the final implementation of the iMEDIA system and the definition of the plan for its commercialisation.

Over 60 dead in floods in Sudan
The current rainy season in Sudan is hitting the country very hard right now. Tens of thousands of houses have been destroyed, roads closed down and human lives harmed due to flooding - and then still several months of expected heavy rainfall.
Seventeen of Sudan's 18 provinces have already been affected. Of the 35,750 houses so far flooded by rainfall, about two-thirds have collapsed. This was announced by the country's acting health minister on Sunday.
The rainy season in Sudan has so far only lasted for a couple of months, but it is expected to last until the end of October and the UN fears that many more downpours are expected, the BBC reports.
The capital hit hard
It is already clear, however, that this year's season of heavy rainfall is killing many lives in the poor country of North Africa. So far, 62 people have died as a result of the floods.
Dramatic images, recently published, show how water bodies have made parts of certain roads in the country completely shut down. One area that is particularly hard hit by the floods is the southern parts of the capital Khartoum, where the White Nile and Blue Nile meet, reports the AP news agency.
The military has been deployed in the relief work.

Q: Multie Workers on a list of items I am attempting to generate multiple threads, each calling a function that processes an item from a list. Illustration below, however I am getting the following error and im not entirely sure why TypeError: stuff() takes exactly 1 argument (56 given). The below code is a snippet to test the functionality of the idea. I will be checking each thread is still active before continuing (this will be later once the cause of the error is IDed). Any help would be appreicated. I believe the thread takes arguments as a list, and this could be the cause (the filename is being split) but im not sure how to takle list (one for each item in the list) problem. If you cant parse the item to the function.
def stuff(filename):
    Stuff done to filename

threads = []
for filename in file_list: #File list contains list of full path filenames.
    thread1 = threading.Thread(target=stuff, args=(filename))
    threads.append(thread1)
    thread1.start()

A: You should pass a tuple to args. Without a comma ,, it is not a tuple -- it is just a simple expression that is parenthesized.
thread1 = threading.Thread(target=stuff, args=(filename,))
                                                       ^^^

10 Things to Consider When Setting Up An Australian Company

Doing Business in Australia, International
February 2, 2020 June 1, 2020 Stuart Reynolds
The process of setting up an Australian company opens great new opportunities. There is a lot of great support from the government & the community. Here's a list of factors you should consider to setup an Australian company.
Setting up a Subsidiary Company
Formation of a Pty Ltd company is relatively fast & inexpensive with no minimum capital requirements. It requires at least one Australian resident director but the shareholder doesn't have to have to be based in Australia.
GST registration is mandatory for projected turnovers above $75,000.
You may also need a tax file number (TFN), Australian business number (ABN) and Australian Company Number (ACN). Substituted Accounting Period applications can be made to align the tax year with your overseas headquarters.
Tax rates for companies is generally 27.5% unless your aggregated turnover is over $50m.
Setting up a Branch
Where a subsidiary isn't required, a branch might be preferable instead.
This requires registration with ASIC to obtain an ARBN, along with appointing a local agent and having an Australian registered office to receive ASIC postal correspondence.
Australia can only tax the profits of a foreign company if it carries on its business in Australia through a "permanent establishment" in Australia. A permanent establishment is, generally, a fixed place of business other than a storage or display facility.
Where to set up
When setting up up your Australian startup, location can be important.
The three main hubs for startup activity in Australia are:
Sydney – perhaps the largest collection of startups, along with the support of government – particularly at the Sydney Startup Hub with over 2,000 tenants.
Melbourne – the second largest ecosystem with several prominent co-working and startup support networks here.
Brisbane –perhaps the most supportive state government incentives particularly with Business Development Fund and HotDesQ programs.
Contractor or Employee?
Employees of your Australian Startup are entitled to leave (personal and annual), superannuation and PAYG Withholding deducted from their pay. But most employers also entitled to 6-12 months probation where you can dismiss without reason.
Contracting (self-employed) individuals manage their income tax, super and have greater control over their business.
ATO and employment tribunals consider the subjective facts behind the relationship when reviewing the status – i.e. is the employee running their own independent business, are they paid from project to project?
Employees should be entered in the Single Touch Payroll system, along with quarterly super payments and annual PAYG Payment Summary statements.
There are a few options available for founders wanting to do business in Australia.
Business Innovation & Investment Visa (subclass 188)
Targeting entrepreneurs with
an innovative idea for a new product, service or business
third party funding &
nominated by state government or Austrade
Allows commercialisation of a product or service or development of a business in Australia.
Business Innovation and Investment Visa (subclass 888)
This is the second step towards permanent residency after holding the subclass 188 visa.
Temporary Work Visa (subclass 457)
Requires sponsorship by an approved business for the given salary threshold and the worker must have the minimum skills to fill a position the approved business nominates.
Opening an AUS Bank Account can take 1-2 months depending on whether you have a local resident director assisting you.
Director & shareholders with over 25% shareholding and signatories often need to submit 100 points of ID with certified copies often required from consulate.
The major four banks all require visits to the bank to establish the account.
Government Startup Incentives
ESIC – Investors that make an eligible investment in an ESIC can receive a 20% non-refundable tax offset on their investment and a 10-year capital gains tax reduction for any eligible investment held for at least 12 months.
Annually the investment amount is capped at $200,000 per investor.
ESVCLP – Investors in an ESVCLP receive 10% tax relief that is proportionate to the investment in the fund.
Employee Share Schemes – Where ESS is available to their staff and meets the startup criteria, the shares or options will only be taxed when they make a financial gain (i.e. sell the shares). Employees won't be taxed when the startup issues the options or shares or upon an exercise of options.
If your Australian startup is pursuing innovative technology, then the R&D Tax Incentive is a big boost to your R&D spend in Australia. Eligible companies may be eligible on up to 43.5% in tax offsets on their AUS based salaries, contractors and consumables used while conducting the R&D, and is often paid back as cash after lodging the tax return.
Entrepreneurs Programme& State Programmes
This provides startup support at the national level through;
Financial support for product commercialisation – matched funding up to $1 million
Funding support for incubators
A dedicated network of experienced founders and advisors
NSW –
MVP Grant – matched funding up to $25,000 to support your innovation.
Techvouchers – supporting collaboration between your business and given universities with up to $15,000
QLD –
Business Development Fund – matched co-investment between $125,000 and $2.5m in Queensland based businesses.
Trademarks – range from $150-500 going via IP Australia's website or more via a legal professional.
Patents – Innovation patents takes around 1 month to process and lasts for 8 years. Standard patents takes over 6 months to process and lasts for 20 years.
Navigating the Australian business ecosystem is a time-consuming task but having the right advisors on your side makes all the difference. If you're considering setting up an Australian startup with your innovative business, reach out to Fullstack to setup your company today.

Posted on 11 May 2016.
A UNIVERSITY of Zambia natural sciences lecturer accused of causing the death of Greenford Mucheleng'anga and Elias Chalwe has pleaded not guilty to two counts of manslaughter.
Dr. Gershom Chishimba denied two murder charges when he appeared before Lusaka High Court Judge Eddie Sikazwe.
He told the court that he understood the two charges but denied committing the offences.
Dr Chishimba is expected to open his defence on May 16.
Dr Chishimba was a fortnight ago committed to the High Court after the State prosecutor Febby Kalala informed the court that she had received instructions from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). He had been appearing before Lusaka Magistrate Jennifer Bwalya for mention awaiting instructions from the DDP chambers. Ms Bwalya read out the charges of two counts of manslaughter to Dr. Chishimba and was asked whether he had understood the charges levelled against him and he responded in the affirmative. Following the explanation of the charges, Dr Chishimba could not proceed to take plea because the matter could only be tried in the High Court.
It is alleged in the first count that Dr Chishimba on December 27, 2013 in Lusaka, unlawfully caused the death of Mr Mucheleng'anga.
The allegation in the second count is that Dr Chishimba on the material day caused the death of Elias Chalwe.

Ronald Reagan v. the Tea Party Movement
In 1966, Ronald Reagan won his first political campaign in a landslide victory against the two-term Democratic Governor of California, Edmund Brown. What is sometimes forgotten is that the preceding Republican primary had been a highly contested one. According to Reagan, it was "very bitter at times, largely because of the lingering split between conservatives and moderates in the state party." The intra-party attacks became so heated that state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, proposed the Eleventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican," a rule that Ronald Reagan obeyed ever since because the intra-party strife he experienced in his first political contest left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. Henceforth, his political career was dedicated to building coalitions and fitting as many people as he could squeeze under the Republican tent.
Forty years later, on the day on which Reagan would have celebrated his 99th birthday, Sarah Palin called on his memory when she delivered the keynote address at the first National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN, rehearsing a litany of bumper sticker lines that the Old Gipper would have approved. But Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan.
While like Palin, Reagan exuded charm and a common touch; unlike Sarah Palin and the general tenor of the Tea Party movement, he was not categorically, viscerally, or paradoxically anti-estabishment. While Sarah Palin has admitted to being a pittbull with lipstick, Ronald Reagan was no pittbull. He was as mellow and as measured as politicians came. He didn't feel dispossessed or victimized. And if he felt it, he never showed the one sentiment - even if it had been legitimate - that permeates the Tea Party Movement: anger. Red, hot, seething, Glenn Beck Fury.
Most illustratively, Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers do not believe in the 11th Commandment. Next week, Palin is off to campaign for Texas Governor Rick Perry against his primary challenger, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Palin has already campaigned against Dede Scoozzafava running for election in NY 23, where she had supported Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman because he had "not been anointed by any political machine." At Nashville, she reiterated her support for intra-party competition: "Despite what the pundits want you to think, contested primaries aren't civil war. They're democracy at work, and that's beautiful."
Democracy at work - grassroots movements without the backbone of a machine - has too often, in a dominant two-party system such as the US is, meant politicians out of a job. To survive after the surge of populist disaffection at a recession has subsided and to be more than a spoiler in elections, the Tea Party Movement must, paradoxically, go mainstream. And it should take it from a icon they have wrongly called their own. Ronald Reagan pulled the various factions of the Right together under a large, fusionist electoral tent that delivered him to victory. Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers are trying to do the reverse and (perhaps inadvertently) break this tent up in a battle for ideological purity. If Reagan helped to turn a movement into a winning electoral coalition for three decades, the Tea Partiers are exerting a centrifugal force on the Right that may well counter-balance the considerable anti-Democratic bias going into the 2010 elections.

I was blessed to spend Christmas with my parents again this year – and both of my brothers. I enjoy when I get quality time with those I love.
One special memory from this Christmas was the bonfire my dad started for me. I had gone outside to help him burn some cardboard. When we were almost done with that task, my dad offered to start a bonfire (which was possible due to a lack of snow). It took 3 tries, but the fire finally got going – a few marshmallows later (and a few shivers – it was chilly outside) I went back inside with a big smile on my face.
Special memories like this are treasures. Something that money can't buy. God has blessed me in great measure.
So glad that is a special memory. I know it meant much to Dad.

This weekend the Charleston region will witness an incredible night-time show as soon as the sun sets.
We're now in the new moon phase, which means that all the stars and planets will be much brighter than when the moon is visible.
We'll not only be witnessing the impressive Orionid Meteor shower, but we'll also witness one of the best views of Uranus in years.
The Earth is currently snuggled neatly between Uranus and the sun (called "opposition" in astronomy).
The rare occurrence puts the planet in the middle of the night sky, and as close to the earth as it will ever come, with the full power of the sun reflecting on its face.
According to TimeandDate.com, it will start to become visible at around 6:30pm in the Charleston region inside the constellation Pisces (use a Star Finder if you're not familiar with the constellations) – and we should have perfectly clear skies tonight and tomorrow night.
The distant planet is currently about 1.7 billion miles away, meaning that light will take about 3 hours to bounce off Uranus and into our eyes.

Recommended reading no. 3 - Kafka Goes to the Movies
Here's number 3 in an occasional series that reviews unfamiliar or neglected books on film (which of course you can find here at the British Library). Today's choice is Hanns Zischler, Kafka Goes to the Movies (Chicago/London: University of Chicago Press, 2003)
"Was at the movies. Wept. Lolotte. The good pastor. The little bicycle. The reconcilitation of the parents. Boundless entertainment. Before that a sad film, Catastrophe at the Dock, after the amusing Alone at Last. Am completely empty and meaningless, the electric tram passing by has more living meaning." (Kafka's diary, September 1913)
This unique book has received ample praise, so it is hardly obscure, but it remains little known among the general film readership. Though not a casual read, it is mysterious, learned, engrossing, and beautiful to behold.
Its author is a German film actor with a taste for literary history. Its subject is Franz Kafka, author of Metamorphosis, The Trial, The Castle and inveterate moviegoer in his younger days. In 1907 the first permanent cinema was built in Prague, and soon among the enthusiastic cinemagoers of the city were Kafka (born 1883) and his friend Max Brod. From the diaries, letters and other writings of Kafka and Brod, Zischler traces the films that they saw, sometimes from just the vaguest hint of a title or plot, identifies the originals, finds reviews, stills, posters, and on occasion tracks down the films themselves.
But this is no mere exercise in producing an anecdotal filmography. Zischler is interested in what is revealed of Kafka in his impressions of cinema, how the cinema reflected his psyche, and the interelationship between the fevered world of early cinema and Kafka's own emerging artistic vision. In the background there is the home of the cinema, the modern city, endlessly stimulating, bombarding its inhabitants with images.
From fragmentary evidence Zischler leads us to detailed descriptions and analyses of such titles as The White Slave Girl, Nick Winter and the Theft of the Mona Lisa, Theodor Korner, Danzig, The Other, Hamlet (with Albert Bassermann), The Heartbreaker, Little Lolotte, Catastrophe at the Dock, Return to Zion, The Kid and several others, seen by Kafka between 1908 and 1921. He provides a filmography (noting which titles survive), and places the experience of each film within a particular point in Kafka's personal and artistic life.
On one level it is trainspotting with a heavy dash of cultural theory. On another, its bringing together of the everyday with the imaginary (much like the experience of cinema-going itself) makes for a thrilling read, particularly as one gets carried along by the detective work, as a fleeting mention of a film subject in a letter leads to an advertisement in the contemporary press, then to the film title, then to the film itself and back to Kafka's personal history.
Kafka Goes to the Movies is a pleasure to look at, and has particularly attractively arranged notes pages (which include illustrations). Zischler has gone on to repeat the trick with James Joyce, documenting not so much Joyce's renowned though brief period as a cinema manager in Dublin in December 1909, but rather his first documented experience of filmgoing in Pola (then part of the Autro-Hungarian Empire, now Pula in Croatia) in 1904. Unfortunately (for monolingual me at any rate) the book, Nase für Neuigkeiten, published in 2008, is only available in German (and is not held by the British Library).
