University Restructures International Initiatives With "Global USA"
Bob Lowry
Virtually all facets of the University of South Alabama's international outreach and engagement have been brought together with the creation of Global USA, a new unit that will greatly enhance the University's institutional priority of Global Engagement.
Global USA will include four offices:
Global Outreach and International Student Services, responsible for international student recruitment and support services for international students,
The Office of Immigration and International Admissions, responsible for immigration compliance for students, faculty and other scholars, as well as admission of international students to USA's academic programs,
The Office of International Education, responsible for Study Abroad, student exchange and international partnerships, and
The English Language Center, which provides instruction in the study of English as a second language.
"Global USA will greatly benefit the University's international community of students and faculty, and we are also excited at the opportunities for growth this will provide other students who want to further develop their international interests," Dr. Tony Waldrop, University president, said.
"This reorganization of the University's international initiatives is an exciting move forward," said Dr. David Johnson, provost. "By bringing all of these essential programs and services together, we will more efficiently and effectively serve the needs and goals of USA's students and faculty."
Global USA will operate within Academic Affairs, with Dr. Rick Carter, who has been serving as dean of the School of Continuing Education and Special Programs, becoming associate vice president for global engagement and USA's senior international officer. Carter also will retain responsibility for USA Baldwin County as well as the Center of Continuing Education, Camps and Conferences.
With the creation of Global USA, the School of Continuing Education and Special Programs will be disbanded and its academic programs moved to other colleges. Programs, faculty and staff in Developmental Studies will transfer to the College of Arts and Sciences, while Interdisciplinary Studies as well as Hospitality and Tourism Management will transfer to the College of Education.
While these changes will go into effect immediately, students, faculty and staff in these programs should not be significantly impacted, as all programs will continue to operate in their new units. Classroom and office assignments will remain the same through at least the end of the current semester.


At a time where consumer technology is freely available to anyone we are occasionally being asked to provide the raw footage of the productions we undertake. Source footage -raw footage- is not aimed at the consumer, as the consumer software for video editing and consumer computers cannot process it normally.
In basic terms, copyright laws are a form of legal protection for the original works. It therefore gives the copyright owner, individual or a legal person, the exclusive right to control any exploitation of the work. The main purpose is to encourage creative development of ideas whilst providing a financial benefit to those who have created or produced the work.
Lighting is powerful. When used well, it has the ability to bring a video to life and accentuate even the smallest of details. It has the power to guide the viewer's attention to what they should be focusing on and even trigger the emotion they should be feeling.
Musicians, bands, solo artist, choreographers and dancers, painters, sculptures, fashion designers are some of the people within the creative sphere; all of them starting to promote their art on their own at first. While this is very exciting, it usually ends up to being very frustrating and unfortunately it has an impact on creativity.

What is the Archive Team Warrior?
The Archive Team Warrior is a virtual archiving appliance. You can run it to help with the ArchiveTeam archiving efforts. It will download sites and upload them to our archive — and it's really easy to do!
The warrior is a virtual machine, so there is no risk to your computer. The warrior will only use your bandwidth and some of your disk space. It will get tasks from and report progress to the Tracker.
Download the appliance from the link above.
In VirtualBox, click File > Import Appliance and open the file.
It will fetch the latest updates and will eventually tell you to start your web browser.
On the left, click "Your settings".
Choose a username - we'll show your progress on the leaderboard.
On the left, click "Available projects" tab and pick a project to work on.
Even better: select "ArchiveTeam's Choice" to let your warrior work on the most urgent project.
In Player on the right, click "Open Virtual Machine", open the file and import the virtual machine.
(Optional) Select the virtual machine and click "Edit virtual machine settings".
Select Network Adapter and set it to "Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network"
1 What is the Archive Team Warrior?
5.1 Why a virtual machine in the first place?
5.2 Can I use whatever internet access for the warrior?
5.3 I turned my warrior VM appliance off. Will those tasks be lost?
5.4 I closed my browser or tab with the warrior's web interface. Will those tasks be lost?
5.5 I need to disconnect my internet / reboot my PC. How can I do this without losing work?
5.6 How much disk space will the warrior use?
5.7 How can I log in to the virtual machine?
5.8 How can I run multiple virtual machines at the same time?
5.9 How can I run the virtual machine headlessly (without leaving a window open)?
5.10 How can I set up the virtual machine as a system service (so that it starts up on boot and shuts down automatically)?
5.11 How can I set up the virtual machine with directly-bridged networking instead of NAT?
5.13 How can I run tons of warriors easily?
5.14 I'm looking at the leaderboard. What's that icon beside the username?
5.15 What's that guy doing in the logo?
5.16 That's awesome – can I slap this logo on my laptop to show my Internet-preservation pride?
5.17 I'd like to help write code or I want to tweak the scripts to run to my liking. Where can I find more info? Where is the source code and repository?
5.18 I still have a question!
6.1 I'm getting errors when I try to launch the VM.
6.2 I just imported the ova image and the warrior is stuck on "Preparing the data partition".
6.3 I can't connect to localhost.
6.4 The warrior can't connect to the internet.
6.5 I see a message that no item was received.
6.6 I see a message about rate limiting.
6.7 I see a message about code being out of date.
6.8 I'm running the scripts manually and I see a message about code being out of date.
6.9 I see messages about rsync errors.
6.10 I told the warrior to shut down from the interface, but nothing has changed.
6.11 The warrior is eating all my bandwidth!
6.12 The warrior is using up disk space, even though it's not running a project!
6.13 The item I'm working on is downloading thousands of URLs and it's taking hours.
6.14 Why is the default project not working? / Why is a manual project not in the warrior yet?
6.15 Why are there no projects?
6.16 The instructions to run the software/scripts are awful and they are difficult to set up.
6.17 Where can I file a bug, suggestion, or a feature request?
8 Are you a coder?
Help us test the new version of the appliance available at https://warriorhq.archiveteam.org/downloads/warrior3/. Report any issues or feedback on #warrior on EFnet.
This version includes updated internal components that allow us to run newer and improved software. Specifically, it runs the warrior code within a Docker container.
Please note that these alternatives are not in widespread use by our warriors, so we may not be able to help with either issues or advanced usage.
Why a virtual machine in the first place?
If you have suggestions for improving this system, please talk to us as described below.
Can I use whatever internet access for the warrior?
No proxies. Proxies can return bad data. The original HTTP headers and IP address are needed for the WARC file.
No Tor. The server may return an error page instead of content if they ban exit nodes.
No free cafe wifi. Archiving your cafe's wifi service agreement repeatedly is not helpful.
No VPNs. Data integrity is a very high priority for the Archive Team so use of VPNs with the official crawler is discouraged.
I turned my warrior VM appliance off. Will those tasks be lost?
If you've killed your warrior VM instance, then the work your warrior did has been lost. However, the tasks will be returned to the pool after a period of time, and other warriors may claim them. If you want, you can alert the admins via IRC of what's happened and they can clear the claims your username may have made. but this isn't very important on most projects.
I closed my browser or tab with the warrior's web interface. Will those tasks be lost?
No. The web browser interface just provides a user interface to the warrior. As long as the VM is not stopped, it will continue normally.
I need to disconnect my internet / reboot my PC. How can I do this without losing work?
If you pause/suspend the warrior instance, most projects will allow resuming of work in progress when you unsuspend the warrior instance.
If you decide to use the suspend feature, please note that if you keep it suspended for too long (more than a few hours), the administrators will assume that the item is lost and re-queue it. Using the suspend feature so that you can reboot your computer is perfectly fine.
How much disk space will the warrior use?
Long answer: because each project defines items differently, sizes may vary. A single task may be a small file or a whole subsection of a website. The virtual machine is configured by default to use an absolute maximum of 60GB. Any unused virtual machine disk space is not used on the host computer. You may run the virtual machine on less than 60GB if you like to live dangerously. We're downloading the internet, after all!
How can I log in to the virtual machine?
Unless you know what you are doing, you should not need to do this. But, if you want to, the username is root and the password is archiveteam. Once logged in as root, you can execute sudo -u warrior -i to log in as the warrior user.
Press ALT+F3 to switch to virtual console number 3. Use ALT+Left or ALT+Right to switch between virtual consoles. There are 6 virtual consoles in total. Consoles 1 and 2 are reserved for the warrior.
How can I run multiple virtual machines at the same time?
You'll need to adjust the networking settings.
In VirtualBox, select a virtual machine and open up Settings → Network → Adapter 1 → Port Forwarding. You need to adjust the host port. For example, set your table to TCP | 127.0.0.1 | 8123 | | 8001. This maps port 8123 on the host machine (your computer) to port 8001 on the virtual machine (the warrior), and you can then access the warrior's web interface from port 8123 in your browser.
Each VM you want to access should have a different host port. Do not use port numbers below 1024 unless you know what you are doing.
How can I run the virtual machine headlessly (without leaving a window open)?
Substituting suspend or resume for acpipowerbutton suspends or resumes the VM. For more information, consult the VirtualBox manual (Chapter 8, Sections 12 and 13).
Substituting suspend for stop suspends the VM. Resume with start again. For more information, including the paths to VMX files on different operating systems, consult Using vmrun to Control Virtual Machines (PDF), pages 10 and 11.
How can I set up the virtual machine as a system service (so that it starts up on boot and shuts down automatically)?
How can I set up the virtual machine with directly-bridged networking instead of NAT?
VMWare installations should already be using bridged networking.
Another alternative is running the project manually. If you are managing a VPS, it's likely you are comfortable with some Linux stuff. Consult the project wiki page or the source code repository readme file.
How can I run tons of warriors easily?
We assume you've checked with the current ArchiveTeam project what concurrency and resources are needed or useful!
Whether your have your own virtual cluster or you're renting someone else's (aka a "cloud"), you probably need some orchestration software.
ArchiveTeam volunteers have successfully used a variety of hosting providers and tools (including free trials on AWS and GCE), often just by building their own flavour of virtual server and then repeating it with simple cloud-init scripts (to install and launch docker as above) or whatever tool the hosting provides. If you desire full automation, the archiveteam-infra repository by diggan helps with Terraform on DigitalOcean.
Some custom monitoring scripts also exist, for instance watcher.py.
I'm looking at the leaderboard. What's that icon beside the username?
That's just the warrior logo: (click on the image for a larger version). It means that that person is using the warrior. Those without the icon are running the scripts manually.
What's that guy doing in the logo?
The place is on fire! But don't worry, he safely escaped with the rescued data in his arms.
That's awesome – can I slap this logo on my laptop to show my Internet-preservation pride?
You sure can! The ArchiveTeam Warrior laptop sticker can start conversations about archiving, if you're into that.
I'd like to help write code or I want to tweak the scripts to run to my liking. Where can I find more info? Where is the source code and repository?
Check out the Dev documentation for details on the infrastructure and details of the source code layout.
I still have a question!
Check out the general FAQ page. Talk to us on IRC. Use #warrior for specific warrior questions or #archiveteam for general questions.
I'm getting errors when I try to launch the VM.
If you are receiving Breakpoint has been reached (0x80000003), A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped., or VT-X errors, you probably do not have virtualization enabled, either because it is turned off in your computer's BIOS or your CPU does not support it.
You can check CPU support on Linux with cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "(vmx|svm)" | uniq. If there is a line of output starting with "flags", your processor supports virtualization; if there is no output, it does not. You can check whether virtualization is enabled in the BIOS using the rdmsr utility in your distro's msr-tools package.
You can check support and BIOS status on Windows using Microsoft's Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool or VirtualChecker.
To enable virtualization on a CPU with support, reboot the computer and enter the BIOS. The virtualization setting is usually under something like 'CPU configuration' or 'advanced settings'.
I just imported the ova image and the warrior is stuck on "Preparing the data partition".
This issue has cropped up before, and we do not know what causes it. We recommend you delete the warrior image and import the ova again. Testing shows that such a reimport works in the majority of cases.
I can't connect to localhost.
The application is configured to set up port forwarding to the guest machine, and you should be able to access the interface through your web browser at port 8001. If this does not happen, and isn't resolved by rebooting the warrior (using the ACPI power signals, not suspend/save state and resume), you may need to double-check your machine's network settings (as described above).
The warrior can't connect to the internet.
It's possible that the virtual machine has picked up the address of the local DNS cache on your computer, which the virtual machine does not have access to.
If you experience this on VirtualBox, see this question and answer. Additionally, check to see if "Cable Connected" is unchecked in the advanced settings of the virtual adapter, under the network tab in the virtual machine's settings. Check it if it's unchecked, then save your settings.
I see a message that no item was received.
The project has just finished and someone is inspecting the work done. If a problem is discovered, items may be re-queued and more work will become available.
You have checked out/claimed too many items. Reduce your concurrency and let others do some of the work too.
In a rare case, you have been banned by a tracker administrator because there was a problem with your work: you were requesting too much, you were tampering with the scripts, a malfunction has occurred, or your internet connection is "unclean" (see above).
I see a message about rate limiting.
Don't worry. Keep in mind that although downloading the internet for fun and digital preservation are the primary goals of all Archive Team activities, serious stress on the target's server may occur. The rate limit is imposed by a tracker administrator and should not be subverted.
If you like, you can switch to another project with less load.
I see a message about code being out of date.
Don't worry. There is a new update ready. You do not need to do anything about this; the warrior will update its code every hour. If you are impatient, please reboot the warrior and it will download the latest code and resume work.
I'm running the scripts manually and I see a message about code being out of date.
This happens when a bug in the scripts is discovered. Bugs are unavoidable, especially when the server is out of our control.
Try the --auto-update option available in Seesaw version 0.8. However, please be aware that you are now executing code automatically. Be sure to run the scripts in a separate user account for safety.
I see messages about rsync errors.
Uh-oh! Something is not right. Please notify us immediately in the appropriate IRC channel.
I told the warrior to shut down from the interface, but nothing has changed.
The warrior will attempt to finish the current running tasks before shutting down. If you need to shut down right away, go ahead. Your progress will be lost, but the jobs will eventually cycle out to another user.
The warrior is eating all my bandwidth!
For more information, consult the VirtualBox manual (Chapter 6, Section 9).
On VMWare (versions 9 and above), select a virtual machine and open Settings → Hardware → Virtual Network Adapter → Advanced. You can set a bandwidth limit here.
The warrior is using up disk space, even though it's not running a project!
Delete the second disk and put back an empty disk. The warrior should reformat the second disk.
Delete the entire warrior application and re-import it.
Use the zerofree program and then clone the disk image. Reattach the cloned disk image.
The item I'm working on is downloading thousands of URLs and it's taking hours.
Please notify us in the appropriate IRC channel. You may need to reboot the warrior.
Why is the default project not working? / Why is a manual project not in the warrior yet?
Why are there no projects?
We finished the ones we were working on! If there are no projects showing, you can help us write one. No projects does not mean there is nothing left to archive!
The instructions to run the software/scripts are awful and they are difficult to set up.
We're not a professional support team so help us help you help us all. See above for bug reports, suggestions, or code contributions.
Where can I file a bug, suggestion, or a feature request?
If the issue is related to the warrior's web interface or the library that grab scripts are using, see seesaw-kit issues. Other issues should be filed into their own repositories.
Like the warrior? Interested in how it works under the hood? Got software skills? Help us improve it!

Watts Towers: UNESCO Designation Sought
Simon Rodia's masterpiece may one day receive a very special designation.
By Alysia Gray Painter	• Published September 14, 2016 • Updated on September 14, 2016 at 7:07 pm
UNESCO World Heritage Sites, those places deemed to possess "Outstanding Universal Value" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Committee, truly dot the globe in a grand sweep, a sweep that includes a host of spectacular destinations meant to last the ages.
Angkor in Cambodia is on the list, as is Chartres Cathedral in France. And in California? Yosemite National Park and Redwoods National Park are the two natural sites designated as World Heritage Sites.
A third Golden State treasure, a cultural site, may soon join the parks on this hallowed, protections-aplenty list: the Watts Towers.

Simon Rodia carefully created the towers, tile-by-tile, for 33 years, beginning in 1921. And while "towers" are in the very name, the whimsical and intricate creations both soar up and span dramatically across a sizable lot. There is, in short, nothing quite like these magical and majestic artworks.
But the road to becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site isn't necessarily short, for any potential place, for there are typically a number of agencies and people involved.
The Cultural Resources Division of the California Department of Parks and Recreation made a request in April 2016 with the National Park Service's Office of Internal Affairs that Watts Towers be considered "for inclusion on the United States Tentative List" for the protected sites.
"In the letter, State Parks made the case that the property meets the requirements for authenticity, integrity, legal protection, and management that the World Heritage Convention needs for consideration of potential properties."
UNESCO will then be "formally" asked by the park service to review the request.
The making of Watts Towers was a fantastical feat, a wonder of art and persistence, but that still didn't prevent talk of possible demolition in the past. Numerous passionate supporters and advocates have played a part in saving the Watts Towers, and securing its future; today it is a U.S. National Historic Landmark as well as a California Historical Landmark.
This loved-upon landmark is a place Southern Californians can see often, but September is a special month. Two long-running events, the Day of the Drum and the Simon Rodia Watts Towers Jazz Festival, traditionally happen in the early fall, and 2016 is no exception: Both will unfurl, with sound and heart, on Saturday, Sept. 24 and Sunday, Sept. 25.
Will one of the topics among visitors be the possibility of the towers becoming a World Heritage Site one day? It would surely be a huge development for one of LA's, and the planet's, most singular and soulful experiences.

Teupoko'ina Utanga Morgan  (1 October 1934 – 15 September 2007) was a Cook Islands educator, politician and writer of children's books and song books. She was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1961, becoming one of the first two women directly elected to the islands' legislature.

Biography
Morgan was born in Avarua in 1934, the oldest of six children of Ripeka and Utanga Utanga. She was educated at Rarotonga Primary School and then won a government scholarship to attend  St Matthew's Collegiate School in Masterton in New Zealand. She studied at Ardmore Teachers' College from 1953 to 1954, where she met Guy Morgan. The couple married in 1955 and went on to have five children. After starting her teaching career in Auckland, she returned to the Cook Islands to work at Nikao Maori School in Rarotonga from 1958 to 1962.

She was a Cook Islands delegate to the fourth South Pacific Commission conference in 1959.<ref>S.P. Conference Pacific Islands Monthly, March 1959</ref> In the same year she joined Rarotonga Teachers' Training College as teacher and Women's Warden. A keen tennis and basketball player, she became president of the Rarotonga Basketball Referee's Union. She also served as secretary of the Child Welfare Association.

In the 1961 general elections, she contested the Rarotonga seat and was elected to the Legislative Assembly, becoming the first directly elected woman in the Assembly alongside Poko Ingram. However, she returned to New Zealand the following year and started teaching at Tarawera School. Two years later she moved to Wharepaina Maori School, where she taught for three years. She then moved to Fiji, teaching at Levuka Public School for five years.

The couple returned to New Zealand in 1973, with Morgan teaching at Naike School for a year before moving to Tokoroa. After further teaching jobs at Balmoral Primary School (1975) and Tokoroa East School (1976–1978), she spent four years as a Maori teacher for the South Waikato area. She collected oral histories from her home village and published them in 1986 as Te Ma'ara'anga – Te 'Imene e te Pe'e. The narratives were accompanied by original melodies and can be read or sung. In the same year, she was awarded the Queen's Service Medal.

In 1988 she became director of the Anau Ako Pasifika project, which specialised in creating resources for learning Pacific languages. She received a Fulbright Program study grant in 1990, During the 1990s she wrote and published a series of children's books in Cook Islands Māori, which were translated into Samoan, and two volumes of Cook Islands songs and verse for children. She later wrote a non-fiction work on the experiences of Cook Islands women in New Zealand, titled Cook Islands women pioneers: early experiences in New Zealand = Vainetini kuki airani'', which was published in 2001.

After suffering a stroke in August 2007, she died in Waikato Hospital on 15 September 2007.  Anau Ako Pasifika established the Teupoko'ina Utanga Morgan Memorial Award to encourage the development of Pacific early childhood education services.

Home / Group Discussion Topics / lecturette / Smartphones Addiction - Latest trend or Harmful device ?
Everything, which have something good for you, it also have something bad in return. Sameways smartphone is a most essential part of our daily life today as it can be your daily routine, newspaper, TV, camera, almost everything that we can have in this era. But these are good things, so what are the bad things?? The biggest disadvantage of having a smartphone is that you forget your own life, you begin to think that this gadget is your A to Z in your life.
Life at ease : A hand held smart device is convenient to use. Now a days smartphones and tablets help in making work more easier than earlier where lots of individual efforts were required. It is helpful in connecting people easily through phone calls, video call, received, messenger etc.
Connectivity : Mobile Phones as well as internet both have become a prime source of connectivity today. People chat on social networking sites like: Facebook, Twitter, G-Talk and WhatsApp, We chat and Hike messenger have become a trademark of today's youth.
Ocean of Information : Smartphones have much utilities which are helpful for educational gain. Students can save their time as they can use internet as their guide to education. They can learn many innovative substance if they are genuinely interested. Many websites and video class are available in internet which can be beneficial for them.
Online activities : play very important role in modern trend. Business, shopping, banking, etc. can be done online which provides the users with wide range of choice at competitively reasonable price. Lots to time is saved which can be utilised for other important works.
Convenient for work : Businessmen find it more convenient for work. Smartphones and tablets are now a substitute of laptops which is indeed not that handy to be carried everywhere compared to tablets. They make work easy and interesting to do.
It makes children active : Children these days are aware of various innovative things by the use of only a single medium. Moreover they can also use it for entertainment- playing games, surfing net, music, videos etc.
Brain disorder : Too much addiction to internet may bring 'netbrain' disorder. It is caused due to overuse of internet and may result to narcissism, distraction and fear of missing out on things. Smartphone users get affected three times more likely to this disease. 11% of the British adults are suffering from this disease.
Absence of Physical fitness : According to research those who are suffering from 'homophobia' are more likely to be found gambling online, socialising on social networks, listening to music and playing video games. Playing online games and surfing social websites have become common among youths now a days and they miss out on physical sporting activities. Kids who are addicted to technology rarely have any time to spare on outdoor sports which can be a great damage to their health.
Limitation of thoughts: Since every bit of information is already available on the internet people have put strict limitations to their thought process and rely heavily on the artificial source of information. The innovative thinking, the intellect level has seen a ceasefire in many young and dynamic people.
Misuse of smartphones : Student's life which is meant for studying, is affected because of misuse of smartphones. The time which should be utilised for studying is being distracted by the use of smartphones. The present technology is deteriorating county's future to some extent where parents are not careful about the amount of time children donate with smartphones.
Creation of an artificial world within a real one: A hypothetical world has been created in which people remain reserved, aloof and isolated in their own restricted periphery with their smart phones and their apps. They rarely connect to the real world as they rarely get the time to do so.
Toxic phthalates are found on iPhone cables and which require warning labels on products exposing consumers to phthalates. This lead to violation of 'Right to be informed' under Consumer Protection Act. Thus consumers should be warned of its dangerous containments.
Hazardous for health : Staying connected to smartphones is hazardous for health. Repetitive use of phones for texting and gaming may cause soreness in wrist and thumb, can put hand and fingers in risk of injury, neck aches and other symptoms. Micro tears or soreness can heal with time but problem regarding posture and neck aches can increase the pressure on the discs that cushions the bone of neck.

Please note: the information contained in this legal update is correct as of the original date of publication
Procurement Policy Note 02/20 (PPN 02/20) is asking contracting authorities within England to play their part in keeping businesses up and running, by continuing to pay suppliers, even where, in some cases, the services, goods or works being delivered will not be the same. The PPN is asking for emergency changes to be made to contracts, where necessary, to ensure sensible payment arrangements are made.
The PPN came into effect in March 2020 and, for now, runs until 30 June 2020, but that will be kept under review. The PPN is guidance that all contracting authorities in England, including academy trusts, are asked to consider.
A link to the guidance is here.
Applicaton of the PPN
Set out below are some practical ways in which Trusts may apply the PPN.
Triage your contracts to see which ones are being run by suppliers that may be "at risk". The PPN does not include detailed guidance on what "at risk" means but we can assume that it is suppliers who are already known to have finely balanced financial positions or who may be providing services to the private sector that will now be stopped. Basically, suppliers who may not be able to continue to perform all of their contractual duties but should not be allowed to fail as companies because their services/supplies will be needed as soon as "normal" life resumes. These suppliers who are "at risk" should be contacted and reassured that they will still get paid.
Trusts should then assess the payment provisions of those contracts and see how a reduced performance would impact payments. For example, if a contract is payment by results, then could those payment provisions be changed so that until the end of June they are paid a monthly (or weekly) payment based on an average of the last three months payments? The advice in the PPN is that they should.
The PPN suggests reviewing business continuity for the at-risk suppliers and ensure that wherever possible business continuity is supported and encouraged over the use of other contractual provisions that would allow the supplier to either permanently or temporarily suspend performance. If the latter happened then there is the knock-on effect on the supply chain of lack of payment. So Trusts should be discussing business continuity of some sort with their suppliers and looking to amend contract terms to allow for continued service provision wherever possible.
Payments due should be "accelerated", meaning that invoices should be paid quicker than the usual contractual timescales wherever possible. In particular, high value invoices should be targeted to ensure they are paid as soon as possible. Potentially, suppliers should be asked to invoice on a weekly, rather than monthly, basis to keep cash flow going. Our experience is that Trusts are under pressure in so many different ways just now that accelerating the payment of invoices is very hard to do. Don't worry, there is no absolute requirement for you to do this and if suppliers are pressing for it, stand firm. It's better to get it right than rush it and get it wrong.
Case-by-case Analysis
It is not incumbent on Trusts to make payments to suppliers in every scenario. PPN 02/20 is advisory only. It does not bind Trusts to do anything other than what they feel is appropriate in these challenging and complex circumstances. These decisions will need to be made on a case-by-case basis by the Trust.
For example, where a supplier has been underperforming and is subject to an existing improvement plan, the Trust should give careful consideration whether or not to continue to make payments. Similarly, despite receiving payments a supplier may still become insolvent and the Trust will need to manage the risk of potential insolvency when deciding whether or not to continue to make payments.
There are instances where suppliers may be seeking payments from Trusts, which do not obviously fall within the ambit of the PPN. In these grey areas Trusts will need to exercise their discretion carefully when considering what sums should be paid, keeping in mind their duty to obtain best value for the use of public funds.
There may also be circumstances where the supplier may wish to seek other forms of government financial support. The FAQs issued in conjunction with the PPN make it clear that suppliers cannot be paid in accordance with the PPN and take advantage of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme as well, which would equate to double funding. A link to the FAQs is here.
Difficult decisions may need to be taken in response to claims by suppliers for payment of monies that are not in line with the PPN. This is an area that is under review and the Cabinet Office is currently looking into the claims made by some catering suppliers to schools.
Contingent Workers
There is a general expectation that as schools receive government funding and have already budgeted to pay for staff, they should continue to do so. This expectation is extended to 'contingent workers' which for these purposes are supply teachers. Where agency workers are on live assignments, the guidance is that schools 'may' continue to make the previously agreed payments. As set out above, this is not a legal requirement, it is the recommended approach the government is asking schools to take. The guidance is clear that once a live assignment ends, it does not require these assignments to be extended further if the resource will not be required. At that point, it is up to the agency to make a decision as to whether to furlough the individuals
A link to the government advice on contingent workers is here.
Specific application within schools is here.
Recording Changes
What should amendments to contracts look like? Helpfully, on the webpage for the PPN there is also some suggested drafting. The main suggestions are:
The onus is on the supplier to state that it is suffering "Covid Related Hardship" and propose a change to the payment terms because of this, called an Interim Payment Proposal. This needs to state clearly what it needs and why;
The Interim Payment Proposal could include advance payment against goods or services, changes to milestone delivery dates and continuing to be paid even when performance is not meeting the thresholds in the contract;
The Trust has three working days to review and either agree or propose amendments to the Interim Payment Proposal;
Where possible the wording asks the parties to use other methods of relief under the contract;
The supplier cannot include any elements of profit in the Interim Payment Proposal and it must be able to show, through the use of open book accounting what it is asking for related to Coronavirus impacts;
The Trust retains the right to challenge the supplier against any claims for payment during this period and to review whether the supplier is still eligible for payment if it does not perform as agreed in the Interim Payment Proposal.
A link to the Interim Model Terms (and guidance notes) is here.
Resolving Disagreements
On occasion, despite their best attempts, it is possible that the Trust and the supplier may not be able to agree upon the terms of payment, the wording of the contract variation, or whether any payments should be made at all. In these circumstances, it may be that further support is required to seek to find a way through the apparent impasse.

New year, new approach – getting compliance right
Compliance is a broad term and covers the three Ps – paper, people and practice. Be it safeguarding, GDPR or health and safety, there is a direct link between high-quality, outcomes-focused training and the impact on staff and children in your setting and to help you get it right, here are my eight tips for excellent compliance training.

Lack of clarity with public sector exit pay cap law
For public sector employers who are scheme employers of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) the Exit Pay Regulations raise significant legal issues.

If you live in Australia, or have lived in it for any length of time, chances are that you are used to seeing bright and sometimes annoying sunlight for the entirety of the year. It does not matter how cold it is, or what season it is, the sun is always shining and heating up the land in some, or rather most parts of the country.
This is especially true for the more rural sides, where the massive outback steams and sometimes burns with blistering heat. And if you live in one of these rural areas, or even in a suburban one that is near to the heat zones, you would have felt the heat, as well as the desire to somehow block out all the light that flows in and threatens to burn your skin with the heat.
If you are wondering what the perfect solution would be for this heat, following are a few options to consider, along with some reasoning as to why they would, or would not be viable.
Air Conditioning: Air conditioning is always the very first solution that people think of when they imagine temperature control within a house. Air conditioning systems are powerful and very efficient at cooling down the interior of a space quickly. However, they are increasingly expensive to purchase, run, and maintain. Each year the costs of electricity are going up, and the viability of using air conditioners is going down. So unless you have a solar power system in place; one powerful enough to run the air conditioners, these would not be a good option.
Large Fans: These are not very efficient at controlling temperature, since they also consume a large amount of electricity, and in return, the cooling effect would be useless. The temperature of the surrounding air will already be far too high to consider having said air flow is more powerful around the house.
Cellular Blinds: By far the best solution is to have blinds installed as a protection measure against the incoming sunlight. As you know, the real culprit behind the heating is the light that comes into the house and heats up several surfaces. As the sun rises and sets, the light spreads into other areas of the house, heating them up too. This is why it is better to block the incoming light altogether with the help of cellular blinds.
Cellular blinds are the only type of window fixtures that give the option to block light out completely, and simultaneously allow some in when needed. Suppose during the winter, if the house gets too cold and you do not want to use a heater. You could simply slide them open and voila, you would have refreshing, bright sunlight coming in.
More importantly though, in the winter, if you are having a spell of hot sunlight, then all you have to do is wind them down, and you will have next to no light coming into your home. The more versatile the material of the cellular blinds is, the better they are going to be in terms of usability and maintenance, as well as cost.
So if you are looking for the ideal window fitting that will not only last you a lifetime, and even beyond, but will also prove to be effective day in and day out, look no further than cellular blinds. Blinds come in many shapes, sizes and types; however, for blocking out light and maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the house, there is nothing better than this sort of blinds.

Dressed in Dippy teeshirts and waving green flags, more than 250 children from Dorchester schools excitedly gathered in Brewery Square to bid farewell to Dippy the Diplodocus.
The crowd paraded through the town, following the dinosaur footprints down South Street to Dorset County Museum, where the Natural History Museum's iconic cast has amazed more than 140,000 visitors during his record-breaking 12-week stay in Dorset.
Gathering in the museum's Victorian Hall, the children and their families assembled around the 21-metre-long and 4-metre-wide skeleton to sing a farewell song to the town's special guest.
Written by Hanna Trevorrow, music coordinator at Dorset Area Schools Partnership, Hanna has since personally taught the song to more than 1,000 school children.
Dippy has been the heart and soul of Dorchester for the past three months, with the town becoming a hive of activity for locals and tourists alike – the total number of visitors doubled initial predictions.

When Daniel goes into a debilitating super-heat while delivering a package to the office of one of the wealthiest men in town, he is horrified. It's not like any other heat he's had before, and he finds out it could have been caused by some very compatible pheromones.
Those of billionaire Cameron Styles.
He can't fathom that Cameron could be interested in a poor, young omega like him, but when he's asked to move into Cameron's penthouse condo, he can't turn down the chance to live out some of his dreams.
Cameron has hidden himself away in his penthouse ever since his omega partner was killed in an accident. He has made sure to not come into contact with anyone who might set off his powerful alpha hormones, or touch his heart.
Until Daniel walks into his office, that is.
After Cameron inhales Daniel's scent and sees the sweetness in his eyes, he can't get him out of his mind. But he's afraid of love and pain, and most of all, of scaring an innocent omega with his depraved desires.
Can two people from different backgrounds let go of the pain in their pasts and come together to find the love they're searching for?
As a fan of male pregnancy stories, I was hopeful that His Wildest Dream would hit all my buttons in delivering a nice romance where boy meets boy and make a baby. And, while the novel did hit the right notes in certain areas, there were some elements that were either only lightly touched upon or ignored entirely.
The premise is that Daniel, a virgin omega who has had a hard time in life thus far, is working as a bike messenger. On his daily run one morning, he is tasked to hand-deliver an envelope to Cameron Styles, of Styles Investments, in the penthouse of The Marguerite. That kicks off the inevitable meeting between Daniel and his destined alpha, Cameron. Their relationship seems ruled by biology more than shared interests, but it is something that neither can deny. They must be together and there's no way around it. And what develops is a happily-ever-after story where Cameron rescues Daniel from a bad living situation, sets him up as a live-in nanny for his daughter, Maggie, and they inevitably fall in love, get married, and have a baby together.
While the story itself is sweet and follows a relationship that is mostly untroubled, it did feel like more of a surface level story than one where the author wanted to go in-depth into the characters. We know that Cameron feels guilty for the death of his former omega, Gregory, and that Daniel comes from a broken home, with the intent to help others who might be in his same situation, but the exploration of these repercussions of past history was missing. Maggie doesn't seem affected by her dead father, Daniel seems to take to his destined pairing without reservation, and Cameron's money solves pretty much any issue that might come up in their lives. Also, there were a few editing issues in terms of word choice, spelling, and punctuation that highlights how the book could have benefited from an editor.
One area to keep in mind when picking up His Wildest Dream, if you are looking for a focus on the pregnancy aspect, is that it takes up very little of the book. We have a lot of build-up in solidifying the relationship between Daniel and Cameron, which takes place in quite a whirlwind of two weeks from meeting to marriage, but the pregnancy itself was almost a side note of what must happen next before we move to the subsequent step in their lives. I also remain confused as to the biological construct of this alpha/omega world in terms of pregnancy length, which is shortened in comparison to human gestation since Daniel was only pregnant for five months total. Further information to help the reader understand both this and the societal construct of alpha/beta/omega status would have been helpful.
Despite these issues, however, the novel is a happy love story and one that holds the potential for more exploration. If you're looking for a fast read with a male pregnancy pay-off, His Wildest Dream is definitely worth picking up. And I do look forward to seeing what the author could do with the male pregnancy concept in other novels. It's one of my favorite genres, and one that doesn't get a lot of coverage in quality LGBT fiction, so I support any author who wants to explore it!

M A Hasanat
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh
M A Hasanat holds an MPhil and MD degree in Endocrinology and is currently working as Professor and Chairman in the Department of Endocrinology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. He has more than 50 original articles published in reputed national and international journals. His major research areas are Diabetes (special fascination in gestational diabetes mellitus—GDM and diabetes of young), PCOS and Infertility, Thyroid Autoimmunity and Childhood Obesity. He is also working as an Editor (American Research Journal of Endocrinology, International Journal of Diabetes, and Diabetes & Obesity International Journal of different open access journals.
The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphologic features. PCOS affects 6 to 10% of women of reproductive age. Marked controversy surrounds the pathophysiology and management issues of PCOS. One school proposes it to be a reproductive disorder while other one considers it as an endocrine disorder. In fact PCOS is an endocrine disorder with adverse reproductive outcome and associated with cardiometabolic abnormalities like impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 DM, dyslipidemia, subclinical vascular disease and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Controversies exist on the prevalence of insulin resistance and metabolic derangement among different PCOS phenotypes. In our studies, women with phenotype A and B have been found to have worse metabolic profiles and higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors compared with phenotype C and D. Similarly, amenorrhoea and oligo-amenorrhoea were found to have worst metabolic profile and insulin resistance compared with eumenorrhoea. Although serum antimüllerian hormone levels and prostate specific antigen correlate with the sonographically determined antral follicle count and ovarian volume, the diagnostic usefulness of these in women with PCOS is uncertain. Similarly, no definitive association could be ascertained from our studies. Biochemical parameters of hyperandrogenemia, including total testosterone, free androgen index and testosterone dihydrotestosterone ratio were studied, and have been found to significantly correlate with clinical parameters. There is controversy regarding thresholds for diagnosis in adolescents and peri-menopausal women and the most appropriate therapeutic approaches for these patients. Metformin is found to have significant role in the management as insulin resistance is the key etiopathogenic factor in PCOS, which was also evidenced in our randomized control trial. PCOS lies at the crossroad of metabolic and reproductive disorder and a multi-systemic approach with involvement of the concerned specialties is required for successful outcome.

"All students and staff members of Bunka Fashion College share an immense love for fashion," says college president Sachiko Aihara. "Our greatest achievement is that thousands of our graduates are working globally across different sectors. Despite the challenging period we're all facing, we've continued to operate at a high standard and have effectively evolved along with the times."
4 Rising Design Talents On The Distinctly Co-Ed Future Of Fashion
After months of lockdown, schools across Japan have reopened their doors, allowing a physical return to class with social-distancing measures in place. Here, 10 students of Bunka Fashion College share their experiences of doing coursework remotely, virtual tutorials, what it feels like to return to college, and what they wore to commemorate their first day back.
Honoka Shinamura, 20, BA fashion design, year two
Honoka Shinamura.
Describe your look.
"The dress is Keisuke Kanda, the kimono haori [a thigh-length kimono] is my grandmother's, and I wrapped the obi string that my mother gave me into a hairband."
What do you love about Bunka Fashion College?
"The facilities are well-equipped and the teachers treat us like family. It's also great to be recognised for your outfits."
What were some challenges of doing coursework remotely?
"It was difficult to sketch and pattern-cut in a small room, and you couldn't get immediate feedback, which slowed things down."
What song sums up your 2020?
"Perfume's "Dream Fighter"."
Minami Urushibata, 22, BA fashion director, year three
Minami Urushibata.
"I'm wearing my favorite Molly Goddard pale-blue dress, Miu Miu's ballerina slippers, and a Vermeerist BEAMS' velvet bag."
"It's a place where you can really enjoy all aspects of fashion."
How does it feel to physically be back at university?
"The ability to communicate directly with friends and teachers is absolutely delightful, and I try to spend more time with them now."
"Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"."
Ryo Ishikawa, 22, BA fashion design, year one
Ryo Ishikawa.
"The styling theme today is all about survival, which is what this year has been about."
"Teachers here give you the practical skills to problem solve, as well as the freedom to creatively express ourselves."
"Problem-solving became tricky and time-consuming — a lot less effective than in person."
What album sums up your 2020?
"MF Doom's Operation: Doomsday."
Sakura Nakajima, 20, BA fashion director, year three
Sakura Nakajima.
"I'm wearing my favourite vintage dress. I love the lustre of velvet with its deep colours and patterns."
"That everything is connected with fashion and the people around me are inspiring."
"It was difficult to concentrate at home — it didn't feel natural to not take classes in person."
What movie sums up your 2020?
"Any science-fiction movie, really. This year felt like we've been living in one."
Seidai Fujii, 20, BA retail planning, year two
Seidai Fujii.
"I'm coordinating a lot of black in my outfit, but please note the elegant leather jacket. A red '80s vintage knit-cardigan is the accent piece, and my shoes are Converse Chuck Taylor."
"Everyone is such an individual, you can establish your own style here with confidence."
"I was able to spend more time in the fashion industry when the school was shut, so when I returned to class I felt that the experience I gained was extremely valuable."
"SZA's "Hit Different"."
Sena N'Singi, 22, BA textile design, year three
Sena N'Singi.
"Everything I'm wearing is thrifted."
"It's filled with opportunities to collaborate and the teachers are constantly encouraging you to push creativity further. Also, as an international student, I get to learn traditional Japanese textile techniques in real life."
"It's taken a lot of adjusting to the changes such as the new library regulations and having to match your mask with your outfit everyday."
"Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise."
Miku Kuroda, 18, BA fashion design, year one
Miku Kuroda.
"I like black, so I'm wearing all black. Category is: witch."
"It's a place that recognises and nurtures individuality, and has a tremendous history."
"A lot of fun. The environment is motivating and it's great to have access to facilities again. Being able to ask teachers questions in person is so much more effective than online."
"Hyde's "Believing in Myself"."
Kenta Yoshida, 21, BA menswear design, year three
Kenta Yoshida.
"I'm wearing a three-button suit in Saxony wool that I made in second year."
"There's such a range of characters, and the library has so many great books."
"Seeing friends has been inspiring and energising."
"Practical skills lessons were often not conveyed well on screen."
Mashiro Morioka, 19, BA fashion modelling, year two
Mashiro Morioka.
"My dress is from Perverze, tights are Chanel, fluffy jacket from Tsumori Chisato, and cowboy boots."
"The people here are cool and interesting. It's been great meeting and getting to know them."
"It's not 100 per cent normal, but it's quite calm. I'm happy to be back, but I still miss the exciting vibes from crowds of students."
"Sakamoto Shinnosuke's "Stay Home"."
Haruka Miura.
"I'm wearing straight-leg, light-blue Levi's with black Dr Martens six-eye boots, but the black Prada puffer jacket is the main attraction, of course."
"The inspiring people you meet from all kinds of backgrounds. It's also interesting to learn what their tastes are like through fashion and music."
"I rarely met people during the self-isolation period, so I was happy to see my teacher and classmates for the first time in a while. It's much easier to engage in class in person."
"Chloe X Halle's "Do it"."
