Neutrality in the public education system: does it exist?
Daniela Meireles
Politicians are trying to pass a bill to avoid what they call ideological indoctrination in Brazilian public schools. Such discourse hides a strong religious orientation and threatens the development of the critical thinking necessary for democracy.
The comparison between Che Guevara, a Cuban revolutionary leader, and Francis of Assisi, one of the most popular Catholic saints, made by his daughter's teacher during class was the final straw for the Catholic Brazilian lawyer Miguel Nagib. He started a mobilisation that became known as "Escola Sem Partido", which means "schools without political parties" or "without political positioning". According to Nagib, students of public schools have been victims of political and ideological indoctrination by teachers, who "take advantage of the students' captive audience to promote their own interests".
Nagib defends that the compulsory exposure to content that may be in conflict with the moral beliefs of students or their parents violates the American Convention on Human Rights, according to which "parents or guardians, as the case may be, have the right to provide for the religious and moral education of their children or wards that is in accord with their own convictions".
One of the arguments listed on the official website to justify the movement states that "under the pretext of 'building a fairer society' or 'fighting against prejudice', teachers at all levels have been using the precious time of their classes to convince students on issues of a political, partisan, ideological and moral nature".

Poster created by the movement "Escola Sem Partido" with the obligations of the teachers, which must be exposed in the schools of the cities where the law were approved.
The lawyer explains by using two examples: "a Marxist and therefore atheist teacher who can expose his worldview (…) to students whose families practice a religion and believe in God; and (…) teachers who during sex education classes tell students that 'there is no problem with sex, with pornography and that masturbation is part of sexuality', which can cause the young person to have 'an active sex life (…) and girls to get pregnant, making parents to 'carry the can'" (El País, 2016).
Movement gained popularity with the bill in Rio de Janeiro
The episode mentioned above took place in 2003, but the movement "Escola Sem Partido" became popular and more widely discussed in 2014, when it turned into the bill 2974, authored by state congressman Flavio Bolsonaro, to be studied and voted for or against by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Since then, the movement has provided bill models to be adopted by both state and municipal spheres. At the national level, similar projects are being carried out both in the Chamber of Deputies, authored by the federal congressman Erivelton Santana in 2014, and in the Senate, authored by senator Magno Malta in 2016 (Agência Brasil, 2017).
The politicians behind the bills
Flavio Bolsonaro was elected in 2014 for his fourth mandate as congressman at the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Bolsonaro, whose father and brothers are also known as evangelical and right-wing politicians, was candidate for mayor of the city of Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Erivelton Santana was councilman of Salvador, the capital of the State of Bahia, in northeastern Brazil, and currently is federal congressman in the Chamber of Deputies, a position he has held since 2011. In his biography, published on his official blog, the politician assumes he has been elected to represent the evangelical segment of the population.
Magno Malta was a federal congressman in 1999 and is senator since 2003. In his biography, published on the Senate's official website, his profession is listed as evangelical reverend.
Santana and Malta are members of the Evangelical Parliamentary Front, composed of senators and federal congressmen. The bill 6583, also known as the Family Statute, is among the policies supported by the group.
The Family Statute defines "a familial entity as the social nucleus formed from the union between a man and a woman", excluding other types of family structure. Diego Garcia, rapporteur of the Chamber of Deputies' Special Committee created to analyse bill 6583, affirms in his report (published in September 2015) that its article 9 intends to guarantee religious and moral education according to students' and their parents' convictions. "The right assured by article 12 of American Convention on Human Rights is exclusive: it cannot be exercised by third parties without express delegation of the holder (of the custody of the student)".

During the meeting in which the rapporteur's assessment on the Family Statute was voted, a militant holds a sign with the words: "the bill 6583 wants to justify hatred and legitimate prejudice".
Counterarguments
The attempt of politicians to officialise the movement "Escola Sem Partido" generated strong reactions, mainly among educators, labour unions, student entities, social movements, and left-wing parties and politicians. They launched a manifest in July 2016, in which they declared: "Defending school without political parties is to defend school with only one political party; the political party of those against secular education, and against the debate on gender, strengthening rape culture and LGBT-phobia in our country. We defend a critical school, liberating education, plurality of ideas and freedom of expression and thought".
During a public hearing in March 2017 at the Chamber of Deputies, critics argued that the bill will produce "an insecurity scenario for teachers, who do not know clearly what is considered indoctrination and, thus, becoming subject to persecution" (Agência Brasil, 2017). The reverend Romi Benke, secretary general of the National Council of Christian Churches of Brazil, who was present at the public hearing, claimed that the bill can intensify social inequality by censoring issues such as agrarian concentration and violence against women, causing them not to be debated in classrooms. These topics can be interpreted by students and their parents as political positions (Agência Brasil, 2017).
Even the founder of the movement, Miguel Nagib, agreed that there is a loophole in this bill that allows religious beliefs to be imposed upon science: "The way the article is written, any content in conflict with parents' religious or moral convictions could be forbidden, including scientific content, which is unacceptable". He predicts, for instance, teachers being penalised for teaching the theory of evolution, because it diverges from creationism (Agência Brasil, 2017).
"The school does not exist if separated from society"
Renata Aquino, member of the movement "Professores Contra o Escola Sem Partido", which means "teachers against schools without political parties", explained to El País (2016) that representatives of "Escola Sem Partido" think that "the school is trying to impose a worldview and violate what students learn in private space (…). They do not want homosexual family or transsexuals to appear in school. (For them) [t]he school has to find a way to have education without mentioning all this diversity that exists in our society. But the school does not exist if separated from society".
Is the idea of school without political positioning a fallacy?
It is evident that the "Escola Sem Partido" movement has a strong religious ideology supporting it and, instead of generating neutrality, it will provoke just the opposite. However, the belief that school is a naturally neutral environment, and that the teacher is responsible for unbalancing it, is dishonest, or at least naive.
The educational system in practice in Brazil and in many other Western industrialised countries is saturated with neo-liberal ideology, reinforced after the economic crisis in the nineteen-seventies and early eighties. In their book "Neo-liberalism, globalization and human capital learning: reclaiming education for democratic citizenship", Hyslop-Margison and Sears (2006, p.5) explain that "[t]he welfare state policies of the 1960s and 70s were counterproductive to corporate interests because they interfered with the raw supply and demand labour market principles that form the foundation of unregulated capitalism."

Advertisement of Rio de Janeiro City Hall published in newspaper of great circulation in 2014 with the sentence "our production line is simple". It was compared to the education system portrayed in Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall music video.
In response to this situation, corporations invested in electing politicians with market-oriented proposals. Thus, the role of governments changed to fit in this new political and economic context. "The role (…) became that of creating optimum conditions for the practice of global economics in a social order totally committed to the logic of the marketplace. This (…) influenced environmental spending, social programs and the focus of public education." (Hyslop-Margison & Sears, 2006, p.8-9)
This ideology, based on a discourse of naturalness that does not exist, is reflected in the school's goals and curricula, which started focusing exclusively on preparing students to occupy a position in the competitive labour market, their "unquestionable, inevitable fate". "Students are increasingly portrayed as submissive, or at least passive, objects being prepared simply to play out their role in the burgeoning global economy." (Hyslop-Margison & Sears, 2006, p.14)
"Students are increasingly portrayed as submissive, or at least passive, objects being prepared simply to play out their role in the burgeoning global economy"
This concept of the students' role expected by society was defined as an "insult" by the 16-year-old student Ana Julia Ribeiro in the speech she adressed to legislators, during a session at the Commission for Human Rights in the Brazilian Senate in November 2016. She was one of many students who occupied their public schools last year, in protest against the government's plans to freeze education funding for 20 years. "Popularly known as "Gag Law", the "Escola Sem Partido" (…) is [the same as] telling us, young people, the society, that they want to form an army of non-thinkers (…). The "Escola Sem Partido" insults and humiliates us. It tells us that we are not able to think for ourselves. But we are and we will not keep our heads down for this", she said.
Education for critical thinking
The Brazilian philosopher Paulo Freire introduced the pedagogy for freedom in his work with illiterate adults in the 1960s Brazil. After the coup d'etat in 1964, Freire was imprisoned and exiled by the military regime, which accused his teachings of containing "subversive elements". What was considered subversive was, in fact, a method of educating that stimulated people to question things more, a real risk for any ideology in power.
According to Freire, in his book "Education: The practice of freedom" (2011, 14th edition), the current education system intends to keep the population in passive and naïve positions when they need to reflect on, and make decisions on, issues regarding their lives.
"Little, or almost nothing, (…) leads us to more searching, more restless, more creative positions. Everything, or almost everything, leads us (…) to passivity, to memorised knowledge only, which, not requiring us to elaborate or re-elaborate, leaves us in a position of inauthentic wisdom." (Freire, 2011, p.126). The education system based on imposition instead of dialogue forms a barrier for criticality, which is "fundamental for democratic mentality" (Freire, 2011, p.126).

According to Paulo Freire, the current education system leads people to passivity.
The idea of neutrality in the public education system hides an ideology that wishes to perpetuate itself in power and that is "bought" by the population, increasingly naive and passive as a result of this uncritical education. This discourse ends up serving to promote pseudo-democratic projects such as the "Escola Sem Partido", which, under the argument of religious freedom of expression, tries to stifle necessary debates for social inclusion and the exercise of true democracy.

Libor scandal exposes banks' rigging of global rates
By Barry Grey
World Socialist Web Site 6 July 2012
Rotting in its own criminality, the capitalist financial system produces ever more powerful arguments for its expropriation and reconstitution under public ownership and democratic control.
The latest banking scandal, thus far focused on UK-based Barclays bank, goes to the heart of the global financial system. It provides a glimpse into the mechanisms by which a handful of giant banks rig the so-called "free market" to boost their profits and the fortunes of their executives and big investors. It is a process of economic plunder whose result is mass unemployment, poverty and ever increasing social inequality.
Barclays last week became the first of many big banks to admit to manipulating the most important benchmark for international interest rates, the London interbank offered rate (Libor). The daily Libor rate, which is supposed to measure the average cost of short-term loans between major banks, determines the interest rates for loans and investments that affect hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Libor influences an estimated $360 trillion of loans and credit default swaps. It impacts futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange with a notational value of more than $564 trillion.
Libor and its Brussels-based counterpart, Euribor (European interbank offered rate), also the target of bank manipulation, are used to set the borrowing rates for $10 trillion in mortgages, student loans and credit cards. Some 90 percent of US commercial and mortgage loans are linked to the index.
As one Financial Times commentator put it, rigging Libor is "the financial equivalent of contaminating the water supply."
Last week, Barclays, the fourth-largest bank by assets in the world, admitted "misconduct" in a settlement with Britain's Financial Services Authority (FSA), the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the US Department of Justice. It agreed to pay a total of $453 million to the three agencies for seeking to manipulate the Libor rate between 2005 and 2009.
The reports issued by the three entities included emails, text messages and telephone conversations showing that from 2005 to 2007 the bank knowingly submitted false estimates, mostly high, of its interbank borrowing costs to the Libor board. It did so in response to employees at its derivatives trading desks who asked for phony submissions to benefit their bets on credit default swaps and other derivatives.
From 2007 to 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis, the bank deliberately underestimated the cost of loans from other banks in its submissions to the Libor board in order to conceal its weakened financial position.
This type of gaming of the Libor and Euribor rates (as well as the Tokyo-based Tibor) was being carried out by virtually all of the major international banks. A dozen regulators around the world are investigating somewhere between 12 and 20 other banks, including HSBC, the largely state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and Sumitomo Mitsui. More settlements along the lines of the Barclays deal are expected in the coming weeks.
This bankers' conspiracy has a very real and vast impact on the lives of ordinary people. Countless billions were effectively stolen from new homeowners or those with variable-rate mortgages, credit card holders, students with college loans, small business borrowers and other consumers when the banks priced the Libor rate artificially high. The Wall Street Journal noted Thursday that an extra 0.3 percentage point would add $100 to the monthly payment on a $500,000 adjustable-rate mortgage.
The lowballing of the Libor rate, on the other hand, cost bondholders who were not parties to the plot untold billions in lower returns. This includes state and local governments that have pared budget deficits by slashing jobs, wages and public services. It also includes pension funds and retirees with fixed investments, whose income was significantly lowered.
The settlement with Barclays is a whitewash designed to let the bank's top executives off the hook and conceal the complicity of governments and bank regulators in the scam. The $453 million fine is a fraction of the billions Barclays made illegally over the years by falsifying its loan rates to Libor and Euribor. It is a small price to pay for allowing what is, in essence, a criminal operation to continue.
Incredibly, despite emails and other evidence to the contrary, the regulators concluded they could not determine whether Barclays' top executives were involved. The $160 million settlement with the US Justice Department exempted the bank from criminal prosecution. No official at Barclays or any of the other banks has to date been criminally or civilly charged. This includes CEO Robert Diamond, who resigned Tuesday.
Last year Diamond received close to $39 million in total remuneration. Since joining the Barclays board in 2005, he has taken in $311.7 million in salary, benefits, bonuses and share awards. Less than a year ago, Diamond, who appeared Wednesday before the British House of Commons treasury select committee, told the same group that "the period of remorse and apology" by banks was over.
One reason the US and British governments and regulators want to sweep the scandal under the rug as quickly as possible is because they are directly implicated.
Charges that the banks were rigging Libor were raised at least as early as 2007 and were ignored by US and European governments and regulators. They were, in fact, encouraging the banks to submit low loan rate estimates after the financial crisis erupted in 2007 in order to hide the depth of the crisis and protect the financial elite. Barclays contends that Paul Tucker, deputy governor of the Bank of England, suggested to Diamond in October of 2008 that its submissions to the Libor board were too high.
Libor itself is a product of the deregulation of the banks carried out by capitalist governments of all stripes, nominally "left" as well as conservative, over the past 30 years. Launched in the mid-1980s, it is a prime example of "self-regulation," a euphemism for giving the banks a free hand to rig markets and plunder the population.
It is presided over by the British Bankers' Association (BBA), a private banking trade and lobby group, presently headed by the chairman of Barclays, Marcus Agius. Eighteen of the world's biggest banks submit loan data to the Libor board every morning to help set the global rate to which their own trading bets are tied. These same banks control the BBA.
This, like so many other market mechanisms, is intrinsically corrupt and riddled with conflicts of interest.
Any claim that this cesspool of avarice and corruption can be "reformed" is the product of ignorance, self-delusion or deliberate deceit. The bankers who have committed fraud must be brought to justice and their illegally obtained fortunes seized and used to provide relief for the unemployed, the homeless and all those victimized by the financial mafia.
The fate of humanity, the rational and progressive allocation of resources to benefit the world's inhabitants and prevent a further descent into social devastation, requires the expropriation of the banks by the working class and their transformation into public utilities democratically controlled and run in the interests of social need, not private profit.

Elected Officials Muoio and Maffei Join The Bridge Academy in Social Studies Lesson
Students at The Bridge Academy, Lawrence Township Mayor David Maffei and Assemblywoman Liz Muoio
At a special social studies class last week at The Bridge Academy, a school for students (ages 8-18) with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, ADHD and dysgraphia, Assemblywoman Liz Muoio and Lawrence Township Mayor David Maffei both appeared as guest speakers.The school, located in Lawrence Township, currently serves 65 students from over 32 school districts throughout central New Jersey.
Susan Morris, Director of Education, introducing guest speakers
To an audience of over 30 high school students and their social studies teachers, Scott Fort and Brad Gingrich, Mayor David Maffei shared a bit about his background and how he came into politics. "When I was approached to run for council seat, I had no political experience," said Maffei, whose educational and professional background is in chiropractic medicine.
Maffei gave an overview of Lawrence Township's governing body, its function, how one gets elected to office, and the mayor's responsibilities. When asked what he likes least about holding office Maffei laughed and said, "Early morning meetings!" Maffei added about the importance of volunteers and non-profit organizations such as the Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT).
"The road of life has many twists and turns, sometimes rocky, but look at the horizon and see the light. Take that path and you should succeed," said Mayor Maffei.
Assemblywoman Liz Muoio shared about how much she loved government as early as high school, growing up in Michigan, and her to work in a congressional office in Washington DC while going to law school at night.
"I always saw government as a path of changing things I would like to see changed — and there are many ways to be a force of change in your community even without being in government," said Muoio, who has now been a resident of Pennington, New Jersey for 21 years, and began her New Jersey political career as a Pennington Borough council member.
"You can get involved regardless of whether you are in your hometown or not — it is just a matter of getting involved," she said. "Local government is very important for your day-to-day needs. Local elections matter — it really affects the things you and your parents deal with every day."
Both Assemblywoman Muoio and Mayor Maffei answered student questions regarding the nature of their individual positions, pay scale and whether individuals who hold these positions typically have additional employment. Muoio also fielded questions from students about NJDOT project funding and her vote on the gas tax, giving the students insight into her decision-making and policies.
When asked about the presidential election, Assemblywoman Muoio responded, "At least people are paying attention to politics and they are registering to vote and it has people asking questions about what they want to see in a candidate."

Crags and Ravines Make a Marvellous View
Crags and Ravines Make a Marvellous View is a a special collector's edition book limited to 300 numbered copies. It explores and studies Wu Bin's unique 17th-century scroll painting Ten Views of a Lingbi Rock.
Shortly before the autumn of 1610 the renowned Ming dynasty official, painter, writer and collector Mi Wanzhong (1570‒1628) purchased a scholar's rock to add to his already famous collection. So mesmerised was he by this newly purchased wonder, which was said to eclipse all others he owned, that he commissioned his friend and fellow painter Wu Bin (c.1543‒c.1627) to paint a scroll to celebrate this fantastic rock, showing not one, but ten paintings of the rock, each depicting a different 'view'. The first colophon to the scroll was written by the rock's devoted owner, Mi Wanzhong, giving a passionate account of its creation. It is followed by ten colophons written by some of China's most noted poets and calligraphers of the Ming and Qing dynasties, spanning generations of scholars and over 240 years.
The result is a monumental scroll painting (over nine meters long) of such grandeur and originality that it is considered one of the most important Chinese paintings in private hands and a milestone in the Chinese tradition of rock collecting. The decision to portray a single rock in ten life-size separate views is also considered a major innovation in Chinese art history, making it one of the most storied and deeply appreciated paintings in China.
Crags and Ravines Make a Marvellous View, following on from the publication of Marcus Flacks's Contemplating Rocks, celebrates the exquisite beauty and cultural significance of Wu Bin's monumental work through a combination of scholarly essays, translations and large reproductions.
It is the first time that Master Wu Bin's ten unique images with accompanying prose by Mi Wanzhong and eleven calligraphic annotations have been fully transcribed and translated from classical Chinese to English. The book features an introduction from Marcus Flacks with special contributions from some of the pre-eminent scholars on Chinese art working today: Prof. Zhu Liangzhi (Peking University), Dr Stephen Little (LACMA) and Prof. Richard John Lynn (University of Toronto), as well as beautifully hand-written calligraphy by Liu Dan, one of the most distinguished contemporary Chinese ink artists.
This unique collector's limited edition appeals to modern sensibilities. It is also an ambitious attempt to recreate the experience of viewing and handling the magnificent scroll; this handsome boxed limited edition features a folio of large-scale reproductions of all ten views that allows the reader to dive into the crags and ravines of the painting. In keeping with the spirit of the Rasika imprint, Crags and Ravines invites both the scholar and the curious amateur to contemplate and enjoy this exceptional work of art. See the video about the collector's edition.

Hunt: "A Good Day At The Office"
Amy Roskell
@PNE_WFC
Freya Hunt described Preston North End Women's 4-0 win against Carlisle United as 'a good day at the office'.
PNEWFC 4 Carlisle United Ladies 0
Hunt was a half-time substitute in the women's team's first outing of the New Year, which saw Liv Askam, Abbie Jones and Rachelle Smith score in a comfortable second half display, after Askam had broken the deadlock in the opening 45 minutes.
Speaking to PNE.Com, Hunt said: "In the first half we were slow out of the blocks and we struggled to open them up and create chances. They defended with ten behind the ball and made it difficult for us.
"I think in the second half we definitely came out and moved the ball a lot quicker and opened them up and the goals followed. It was a good day at the office, it's good to be back after Christmas with a nice win."
Hunt has been out through injury for several months of the season and was pleased on an individual level to make her return to action.
She added: "I felt good and I was dying to come on at half-time. I was eager to impress. It's been three months out and I've struggled with injury.
"It was really nice to get on the ball, move it around, and I definitely just want to kick on from here now. Hopefully I can get another run in the side again to get back to my best."
The women's team also won their last game before Christmas with a 2-0 triumph over Accrington Stanley Ladies, and with another victory to their name now after the break, Freya hopes the team can continue their winning run.
She continued: "We need to take what we did in the second half right from the off.
"Most teams can't live with us moving the ball and getting the full backs involved early, working the ball wide and bringing it back to the middle. We've got goals in us from a lot of players.
"Getting the right people in the right positions speaks for itself with the goals in the second half, it was definitely a good day at the office."

When I released the original free and open source version of SimpleRisk back in March 2013, I can honestly say that I had no idea it would become what it is today. I was simply tasked with starting a risk management program for National Instruments and they couldn't prioritize purchasing a GRC solution, so I ended up putting some of my secure coding skills to use. In its initial iteration, SimpleRisk was nothing more than a page to submit a risk, a page to edit risks, and a page to view all of the risks submitted. Just a simple risk registry. However, as our customer base has grown, we've been working with them to rapidly expand the product to become the simplest, most feature-rich, risk management tool available. But, there were some major pieces of the "GRC" toolset that we were missing...until now.
Governance: When you install or upgrade to the new release, all admin users will, by default, be granted access to a new "Governance" menu at the top of SimpleRisk. This new functionality gives you the ability to define all of the control frameworks that your program uses. You can even create nested frameworks and define controls that span multiple control frameworks. You can grant additional users access to this menu by going to Configure -> User Management, viewing the details for the users, checking Governance permission, and selecting "Update".
Risk Mitigation Controls: One of the single most-requested features for SimpleRisk has been the ability to define controls for the mitigation of risks in addition to the text-based requirements, recommendations, and current solutions that has existed in SimpleRisk since the early days. With the addition of the new Governance section, and the ability to define your controls, the new release introduces the ability to now select any number of existing mitigating controls for your risks.
Residual Risk Scoring: The other most-requested feature for SimpleRisk has been the ability to easily see the affect a mitigation has for a given risk. The new release updates the old risk score name to "Inherent Risk" and adds a "Residual Risk" value that automatically calculates the reduction in risk based on the value of the mitigation percent field.
Compliance: When you install or upgrade to the new release, all admin users will, by default, be granted access to a new "Compliance" menu at the top of SimpleRisk. This new functionality gives you the ability to define tests for all of your controls. Once you've defined your tests, you can then initiate an audit at the framework, control, or individual test level. From there, you can track the ongoing testing progress, as well as view the results of each test performed in the past. You can grant additional users access to this menu by going to Configure -> User Management, viewing the details for the users, checking Compliance permission, and selecting "Update".
Risk Assessments: In order to help you to most efficiently determine some of the risks for your organization, the new SimpleRisk release added risk assessment questionnaires for NIST 800-171, PCI DSS 3.2, and HIPAA.
Exciting, isn't it? Even better...everything that I mentioned above is now a part of our open source "SimpleRisk Core" product available to download for free in a tar bundle, VirtualBox OVA, or VMWare OVF format.
Residual Risk for Controls: While this new release added the ability to utilize the mitigation percent field to calculate residual risk, we recognize that many of our customers would like to be able to utilize a mitigation percent for their selected controls in much the same way. Expect to have this functionality soon.
Pre-Defined Frameworks and Controls: SimpleRisk has established a partnership with ComplianceForge and is integrating their Digital Security Program (DSP) into SimpleRisk as a newly available SimpleRisk Extra. The ComplianceForge DSP will allow our customers to populate SimpleRisk with a multitude of controls including ISO 27002, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, PCI DSS, COBIT, HIPAA, GDPR, and many more. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss this functionality in more detail.
So, there you have it! The SimpleRisk 20180104-001 release takes SimpleRisk from being a simple risk management tool, to an incredible, still free and open source, tool to manage your organization's Governance, Risk, and Compliance initiatives from a single place. We look forward to working with you in 2018!

Darren Randolph
In Wayne Hennessey and Darren Randolph, both countries have solid and accomplished Premier League goalkeepers, both of whom are often reliable, but are prone to the odd error.
Thus, deciding between them is far from easy, and although Wales' Hennessey has been in better form in recent weeks, keeping three clean sheets for Crystal Palace, Ireland's Randolph has arguably been more consistent over the course of the season.
The West Ham shot-stopper came into the side at the expense of Adrian back in November, and did well as Slaven Bilic's men picked up crucial victories over Burnley, Hull, and Swansea during the festive period.
A penalty save in the loss at Bournemouth further outlined his credentials, and although there isn't much between them at all, Randolph just gets the nod in this side.
Shoot first hit the shelves as a weekly football magazine on August 16th, 1969... read more

Studt's Funfair confirmed for return to Aberystwyth next month
THERE will be a fun fair in Aberystwyth, from Monday, 15 November until Monday, 22 November for eight consecutive nights, Vernon Studt of Studt Fun Fairs confirmed this week to The Ceredigion Herald.
Vernon Studt said: "We have had constructive talks with Ceredigion County Council and will be returning to Aberystwyth and putting on a good show.
"We have been visiting Aberystwyth since 1837 and I am almost certain that last year was the first time in 183 years that there was no fair in the town in November.
"People will be welcome to wear masks, but they will not be mandatory. All we ask is that people behave responsibly and follow the guidelines."
The fair and market will be open from 4pm on weekdays and 2pm on weekends.
Vernon added: "We are excited to be returning to Aberystwyth and I am sure children in the area are looking forward to it too."
Cardigan fair will also return and will take place on Wednesday, 10 November.
The road along Park Avenue will remain open during this time as a new home has been found for the market stalls.
They will now be set up across the road on the site of the former Arriva depot, which was demolished earlier this year and has been hosting the fortnightly farmers market over the summer. Cardigan fair will also return and will take place on Wednesday, 10 November, it is understood.

Domestic abuse victims in Wales to be given more time to report assaults
DOMESTIC abuse victims in Wales and England to be given more time to report assaults.
New measures targeted directly at keeping women and girls safer will be added to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill last week (Jan 4) the UK Government has announced.
Under the changes, victims of domestic abuse will be allowed more time to report incidents of common assault or battery against them. Currently, prosecutions must commence within six months of the offence.
Instead, this requirement will be moved to six months from the date the incident is formally reported to the police – with an overall time limit of two years from the offence to bring a prosecution.Domestic abuse is often reported late relative to other crimes; so this will ensure victims have enough time to seek justice and that perpetrators answer for their actions.
The UK Government says that today's announcement builds on measures already in the Bill to better protect women such as ending the halfway release of offenders sentenced between four and seven years in prison for serious sexual offences – forcing them to spend two-thirds of their time in prison.
In December, the legislation was amended to make clear that a new legal duty requiring public bodies to work together to tackle serious violence can also include domestic abuse and sexual offences.
It means that these crimes should be taken as seriously as knife crime and homicide, with police, government, and health bodies required to collaborate locally, so that they can develop more holistic strategies to protect people from harm, including through early intervention.
Home Secretary, Priti Patel, said: "My commitment to making our homes, streets and communities safer for women and girls is clear."
"Every department in government is working to address and tackle all issues relating to violence against women and girls."
"The Government has a focussed strategy, dedicated to providing essential support for survivors, the prevention of crimes against women and girls and bringing perpetrators to justice with the full force of the law."
"Our actions include the new Domestic Abuse Act, with important changes to our laws; a newly created national police lead responsible solely on violence against women and girls, and millions of pounds have been invested in direct safety measures through the Safer Streets Fund."
"These are all important public confidence measures and changes to ensure the safety of women and girls in public spaces."
The UK Government has also said that taking non-consensual photographs or video recordings of breastfeeding mothers will be made a specific offence punishable by up to two years in prison.
It covers situations where the motive is to obtain sexual gratification, or to cause humiliation, distress or alarm.
Similar legislation introduced by the UK Government in 2019 that criminalised "up skirting" has led to more than 30 prosecutions since it became law.
The inside of the Church was also subjected to vandalism
A FUNDRAISER to rebuild a vandalised church met its goal of £20k within three days.
Eglwys y Grog, which is situated near the cliffs at Mwnt. It is a well known landmark, and is a favourite among photographers.
Clive Davies, a local County Councillor, claims he is "totally blown away" with the donations.
He said the church was targeted on 2 December, and again on 20 December, in "a pointless saddening act."
"There was nothing of value in the church and it was a senseless act. There was no money there, just a small little church," he added.
"The church members were getting a lot of requests to donate money and they contacted me to do something coordinated online so I set up a JustGiving page for them.
"It's been a global response really, three thousand pounds came in overnight. There were messages of support from America, and there was a couple from Australia as well,
"There are a lot of good people out there and it is an amazing start to 2022 for us."
When the campaign was launched on January 1st, a £20,000 goal was set.
The leaded windows of the church were smashed in with rocks
The inside of the church, as well as the leaded church windows and gated entrance, were all damaged.
Mr Davies, who is also a local councillor, claims to have long-standing family ties to the church, which includes plaques honouring his great-grandparents on either side of the altar.
"The local community has been amazing, supporting it and the power of social media made in tenfold," he said.
"It was like a snowball effect really, local businesses have offered not only financial support but will be part of the restoration work needed now."
"I'll be meeting with the church members and the vicar and we'll start discussing what needs doing, but also we're going to have to look at safety for the future and what could we do in terms of security," he added.
He stated that it was critical for the church to remain open while staying safe.
£250 boost to all Ceredigion food banks
PLAID CYMRU Councillors from Ceredigion will donate £250 to each food bank in the county to alleviate pressures over the Christmas period.
The issue of food banks continues on a daily basis in most towns in Wales due to lack of funds and benefits being cut.
Individuals and families are forced to use food banks to make sure they have food for their children and families.
A spokesperson for the Councillors said: "Ceredigion County Council's Plaid Cymru Group of Councilors is delighted to announce their decision again this year to donate £250.00 each to every food bank in Ceredigion.
"Food banks in Aberystwyth, Cardigan, Aberaeron, Llandysul, Lampeter will benefit from this over Christmas.
"Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

Micron, Wave Systems, Lenovo and American Megatrends To Create New Standard to Tackle Pre-boot Threats Within the Supply Chain
PC components	 Oct 28,2014	 0
Micron Technology and Wave Systems expand their collaboration to include Lenovo and American Megatrends to develop enterprise-class security offerings to address the concerns of governments and multinational businesses. To meet the overall objective of verifying and securing software components, these solutions will strengthen the Core Root of Trust for Measurement (CRTM) to offer protection against current and emerging pre-boot threats within the supply chain. The companies intend for these solutions to form the basis of a new industry standard designed to ensure the integrity of the supply chain.
According to the 2014 Verizon DBIR report, supply chain vulnerabilities and third-party vendors are still a leading cause of enterprise data breaches (Source, Verizon DBIR, 2014). With major brands leaking sensitive enterprise data, it is becoming critical to architect an enterprise security suite that protects memory content from its inception in manufacturing throughout a computing device's life cycle. By providing verification of the CRTM, the first BIOS code that executes, the security of system measurements can be ensured rather than implicitly trusted, reducing the risk of supply chain attacks. A centrally managed security solution working in conjunction with a client's core root of trust for measurement provides client system integrity throughout the supply chain.
A combined security solution from Micron, Wave, Lenovo and AMI would address would enable protection, detection and recovery capabilities for memory content. The planned software solution will integrate with the Trusted Platform Module and other hardware components to provide notification, remote management, and further remediation options for the enterprise.
"Enterprises face ever-increasing pressures to protect their networks, devices and data from attacks orchestrated from the outside as well as from within an organization. Data security throughout a computing device's lifecycle is no longer nice-to-have, it's now a requirement," said Robert Feurle, vice president of compute and networking marketing at Micron. "Micron invests time and resources to protect data at the memory level, collaborating with enterprise security leaders like Wave Systems to provide robust security across the enterprise supply chain."
The companies are targeting the first half of 2015 for future announcements regarding products in development.

David Cromer
Director David Cromer starred as 'Stage Manager' in the Off-Broadway play Our Town, which played at the Barrow Street Theatre from 26 Feb 2009 - 12 Sep 2010.
October 17th 1964.
Place of birth?
You now live in?
Manhattan.
Did you go to training school, if so which one?
Columbia College in Chicago. The school's design is that your teachers are working professionals in a very vibrant theatre scene. So if you were halfway decent (and I was exactly halfway decent) you made some professional connections and you could start working fairly early. I never really finished, though. I think I may have 4 general studies credits. Not 4 left to obtain. 4 total. 4.
The first work you ever directed was?
Young Hack and his Girl. It was in Directing 1, required for acting majors, which I was at the time (and if I'd stayed on we would not be having this conversation). I liked directing too much, so I ran away from it for several years. Maybe I thought it would distract me from my destiny of playing Brutus' boy Lucius in the Oak Park Festival Theatre's production Julius Caesar.
Career highlight to date?
The scene from Waiting For Lefty and my work in Julius Caesar, come to mind.
What roles would you most like to direct?
I really assumed that I would spend my life wandering the wilderness directing the 4 major Chekhov plays (and occasionally Ivanov) over and over again and then be buried at sea sewn up in a clean white sack and pitched overboard-at noon-in the blaze of summer-and into an ocean as blue as my first lover's eyes. But no one has ever, ever, ever asked me to direct any Chekhov. Also, I really seriously want to direct Annie.
What's the best advice you have ever received?
Standing is more tiring than walking (and I don't mean that in a fancy, empowering, symbolic way, like 'stasis is crippling and progress is invigorating'. I mean literally, if you're waiting for a bus, walk around, it's less tiring).
Also, an actor named Larry McCauley offered this to me after I had explained in ridiculous detail some high-falutin' reason I was playing some unplayable acting choice, he said, "Or, you could play it like a person. Suppose you were playing a person, what would a person do here?"
What has been your most embarrassing moment on stage?
Directing is kind of embarrassing overall, because everything you say, suggest, ask for, or decide carries the implication that you think you know best. We have a very complicated relationship with ego in the Midwest.
What is the most annoying part about your job?
When I or my co-workers are lazy and cheap. You can be lazy OR cheap, either is fine, you just can't be both at the same time.
Briefly tell us how you become involved with Our Town?
I was asked by The Hypocrites' artistic director Sean Graney to direct a play for his company. He wanted to do Our Town, I wanted to do Summer and Smoke. He pushed for Our Town. I knew I'd get my way if I said "Okay, Our Town, and I also want to play the Stage Manager", but he said, "Great." And here we are.
Briefly tell us about the character you play in Our Town?
He stands between the play and the audience and coaxes them towards one another.
How does it feel to be an actor in a play which you direct?
I don't know who's a bigger jerk, me or the director.
What are your thoughts about your record breaking production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town now that its run is drawing an end?
This production obviously had a pretty profound effect on my professional and personal life so it's a complicated feeling. On one level, it's just another play and we had a great, lucky run, and there've been billions of plays and there'll be billions more. So it's fine. But, the play itself is so special. I was just talking to one of our former Stage Managers and we were saying it just kind of hurts not to get to say those words anymore.
You are to direct the Broadway premiere of Yank! What are your thoughts as you prepare for that production?
The authors just wrote a really spectacular new draft of the show. I'm hungrier to work on this than anything in recent memory. YANK! is incredibly traditional and romantic and satisfying and delicious, but sort of sneaking out of all that tradition, it's incredibly forward, and edgy and muscular and funny. I'm giddy about having that much stuff to work with. The juxtaposition of toughness and delicacy is very strange and challenging and it's freaking me out a little how to get my hands around it. But that's a feeling I like having, so, I'm working on how to really present, in an integrated way, the swerve between the small personal epic that is falling in love for the first time and the giant problem of how we're going to live thru the next 5 minutes in a huge global conflict. I'm spending a lot of time thinking about Casablanca and Gone with the Wind to prepare for it.
Favorite after-show haunts?
A.O.C. at Bleecker and Grove in the West Village.
What was the last book you read, and name some of your favorite authors?
I'm rereading "The Devil in the White City." The last time I read it I was really focused on and inspired by the Burnham and Olmstead sections (I live a block from Central Park) and wasn't that interested in the H. H. Holmes stuff. This time I cannot get enough of the murderer. Is that bad?
What was the last film you saw, and name some of your favorite movies?
Toy Story 3, but I'm starting to find Pixar's stratospheric level of excellence to be numbing and exhausting.
Favorite TV programs?
You wake up early enough you can get 3 episodes of "West Wing" right off the bat. Then it's anything on HGTV or DIY network. Weekends you got your "Lockup," your "Lockup Raw," and your "Lockup Investigates." I am cautiously optimistic about this season of "Project Runway."

Police and family services forced Christian Navy vet's family apart for 7 months following false accusation of sexual abuse. Now he's suing.

A Navy vet and nuclear weapons expert temporarily lost his family, his job, and more after a false accusation of sexual abuse rocked his world.
The man, Adam Lowther, is now suing police and family services for the money that he and his family paid to reunite, and for the pain and suffering that they endured during a time of hell.
What are the details of the incident?
Lowther, who worked at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, was arrested in August 2017 on suspicion of sexually abusing his daughter. He was the director of the Air Force's school for Advanced Deterrence Studies.
Authorities arrested Lowther and charged him with criminal sexual penetration of a minor, as well as criminal sexual contact of a minor against his 4-year-old daughter, after the child told her school teacher that her 7-year-old brother and father had both sexually assaulted her.
The teacher called family services to report the child's allegation. Within two hours, deputies arrived at the family's home and immediately took the couple's two children into emergency care for two days because of the allegation. Lowther was taken into custody at the home. He spent a week in jail, and lost both his job and his security clearance during that time. After his release, he could not contact the children throughout the investigation and had to live with an elderly couple from church.
The child was subject to an intrusive and traumatizing physical examination, according to her parents. Later, however, the interview with the child rendered facts that the child admitted that her father only helped her in the bathroom, and did not sexually assault her. The physical examination did not find any evidence of abuse.
In November, family services returned the two children to the custody of their mother.
Reason reported that in the following months, the criminal case against Lowther collapsed.
"Though the detectives had repeatedly threatened to go to a grand jury, they never did so, and thus actual criminal charges never materialized," Reason reported. "In April, the court-mandated therapist opined that Adam was not a threat to the kids."
Lowther was able to fully reunite and integrate with his family in May 2018.
In October 2018, District Attorney Raul Torrez reviewed the case and wrote a three-page letter detailing the many reasons that his office would not prosecute Lowther.
What's the family doing now?
Lowther told Reason that he is filing a lawsuit against the proper authorities over the harrowing case.
Lowther filed the suit in September 2018 against the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office as well as the state's child welfare department. The suit also alleges that authorities violated the family's constitutional rights several times throughout the investigation, and purports that Lowther children were not in good hands when temporarily placed in foster care.
In his suit, Lowther said that the entities traumatized his family and decimated his career as a nuclear weapons expert. The suit also reported that throughout the investigations, a deputy and a family services investigator made "misstatements and omitted things in reports or affidavits," which ended up misleading judges, according to the Albuquerque Journal. The suit says that the two are "either unencumbered by the truth or reckless incompetent."
The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, and alleges that the school did not properly vet the teacher before hiring her. The teacher had reportedly only known the 4-year-old child for a period of eight days before filing the report with family services.
The family is seeking more than $300,000 in damages in the lawsuit, according to Reason. The family also wants to help ensure that no family has to go through this type of trauma again.
Officials from the sheriff's office and the family services department did not comment on the case.
Lowther told Reason that he was heartbroken over the incident.
"We never thought this kind of thing could ever happen," Lowther said. "We assumed that law enforcement was competent and we assumed that they obeyed the law. That was a wrong assumption, but that was our assumption."

South Florida high school graduation rates hit record
By Caitlin R. McGlade and Caitlin McGlade
Sun Sentinel |
Graduation rates have increased over the last five years. Superintendents of Miami Dade and Broward schools have said that they're using technology to better track student progress to provide tutoring or other services drive students to finish school.
Source: Florida Department of Education
South Florida public schools are passing a key test as the rate of students graduating within four years hit a record last school year.
Palm Beach County schools graduated about 82 percent of its high school seniors compared to 77 percent just five years ago. Miami-Dade County awarded diplomas to about 80 percent of its seniors, up from 76 percent. And in Broward County, the graduation rate grew to almost 79 percent from about 76 percent.
Schools statewide have been putting an increased emphasis on graduation in recent years, after the state made it part of the criteria used to determine their letter grades. School leaders say they're doing a better job of tracking student progress to determine which students need the most help finishing school.
Miami-Dade County, for example, uses software that identifies struggling students and places them in programs that improve their literacy skills. The county also added an eighth period to about 20 traditionally low performing high schools, officials said.
The strides for some schools are big. Just 71 percent of students at Hialeah-Miami Lakes High School graduated after four years in 2012 but last year almost 90 percent of them did.
In Broward, South Plantation High saw one of the largest spikes in graduation, jumping from almost 78 percent in 2012 to almost 94 percent last year.
Hollywood Hills and Boyd Anderson high schools experienced similar leaps.
Valerie Wanza, chief performance and accountability officer, credited districtwide initiatives that pair struggling students with mentors, eliminate barriers to taking college-preparatory tests and help students recover credits through non-traditional schools.
Students who fail the 10th grade state standardized test can still graduate if they score high enough on the ACT or SATs. But those students may also struggle to take those tests because they are usually administered on the weekends and they cost money. So Broward offered the ACT during the school day for free last school year and 92 percent of seniors participated, she said.
Schools such as South Plantation High are also transferring students who are behind on credits to non-traditional schools to catch up before graduation day, said Alan Strauss, who provides support and supervises Broward principals.
The Palm Beach County School District aims to reach a graduation rate of 90 percent by 2021. Fifteen of its schools are already there or have surpassed the mark. That includes Boca Raton Community High where about nine out of every 10 seniors graduated and Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. School of the Arts where everyone graduated.
Others are getting close.
Palm Beach Gardens High School's graduation rate rose from 77.5 percent in 2012 to almost 88 percent last school year, said principal Larry Clawson.
A graduation coach there works with every student as soon as they enter high school to make sure they are on track to finish credits and get the help they need to take standardized tests — a common graduation roadblock for students who are behind in reading levels.
"These kids that have been reading below grade level their entire life ... in many times they feel defeated," Clawson said.
Palm Beach Gardens didn't have a graduation coach when Clawson came to the school in 2009, he said.
In addition, the school has stepped up test preparation, offering "boot camps" for students looking to conquer the ACT or SATs. It also secures funding for low income students to take the tests more times than their federal waivers will pay for.
"The biggest piece is making sure you have those relationships with students and making them understand the importance of pursuing a high school diploma and that they're capable of doing that," he said.

NYU researchers have developed a test that shows how the use of psychoactive drugs like bath salts are underreported.
While cannabis is becoming more widely accepted as a safe and beneficial substance, the use of newer and more extreme psychoactive drugs has also grown more rampant. One of the primary obstacles for dealing with "bath salts" (aka "Flakka") and other psychoactive substances is the inability to fully test and study them.
Currently, information on the use of bath salts is limited to data gathered from seizures and poisonings. Additionally, most people consuming these psychoactive drugs are unaware that they're even under the influence. These substances has become a common ingredient cut into ecstasy and even "molly," making it difficult to gauge how often they're used.
But NYU researchers have developed a testing method to provide clarity to this surfacing epidemic. The group tested the method of "gate" questions, simply posing a yes or no question to the participant about whether or not they've taken a particular substance from a list of drugs. The technique is regularly used in health surveys on drug use, but these test typically don't ask about hundreds of newly developed drugs.
The research team observed 1,048 individuals attending EDM dance parties around New York City, some of which were asked about their drug uses with the gate questions. When asked about bath salts, only one out of ten respondents claimed they didn't use the substance, later admitted to using one or more drugs from the same class.
According to the data, reported use was more prevalent when the gate question use of psychoactive substances like DOx, stimulants like 4-FA, and certain psychedelics like LSZ. The findings suggest that participants pay more attention and feel less burden about what they use when actually presented with the actual list of drugs, leading to more accurate answers.
"There are a lot of people using drugs such as methylone in the EDM scene, but many users are unaware that methylone is a 'bath salt'. It seems that some people didn't pay attention to the list of drugs that are considered 'bath salts' and simply checked off 'no' to use," said Dr. Joseph Palamar, a PhD at the New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing's Center for Drug Use and HIV Research (NYU CDUHR).
The study, entitled "Assessing Self-Reported Use of New Psychoactive Substances: The Impact of Gate Questions," was recently published in The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.

One way to permanently get rid of the Windows Firewall is to disable the service in the Services Manager, or set the startup type to "Manual". Today I learned that it is not enough to disable the "Windows Firewall" service when you are on a Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Server. You also have to disable the "Base Filtering Engine" if you do not want to hit a big red brick wall (also known as "Block mode").
