How One School Solved A Covid-19 Social Distancing Headache
By Nigel A-F
(and sorted out its carbon footprinting and SECR liability)
James Andrew, Estate Bursar at St Oggin (the Endless Redeemer) College in Plymouth gazed out to sea. He was indeed a lucky, lucky man. After several years' service in the Senior Service he had scooped this dream job in one of the two famous independent schools in his adopted home-town and thus avoided uprooting the family when the time came to return to civilian life. By another remarkable stroke of good fortune, his office overlooked the River Tamar and on a clear day he could see the ships moored in Devonport.
Today his luck was in. It was a cloudless sky and one of the carriers was in. But he had work to do and no time to gaze longingly. Happily nearly all the students had returned at the start of the Autumn Term and his gaffer, the COO, was now slightly more relaxed about the balance sheet; but unhappily the issue of social distancing was proving a nightmare. The bursary staff and Assistant Head had spent many long days working out the new plan, but inevitably the harsh reality of 1000 independently minded youngsters plus over 250 not quite so young but equally inclined-not-to-conform-with-careful-plans staff had put a strain on the coordination of school programme and available space. And now it fell to him to find a way to host the exams when the new sports centre project was behind schedule because of Covid-19 – and the Great Hall had just been put out of commission because the ancient Grade 2 listed tower above it had just been deemed unsafe by a structural engineer. So, there was now a shortfall in available space but it was not an option not to hold the exams: not after the summer of 2020.
He looked at the vast expanse of emails in his in-tray, almost comparable in size to the vast expanse of the carrier deck away in the distance. They'd have to wait: he needed to get on with the exam space issue, which he had nicknamed Operation Long Shot. But then he glanced again at the carrier, with its vast flight deck, and thought about the immense hangar space below deck; and a crazy idea ventured into his mind. 'If only', he thought…
But at that moment his flight of fancy was interrupted by the arrival of a rather urgent and important email from the COO:
Title: SECR. 'James. This has come up, or rather resurfaced. You may recall we got the heads up on this in 2018 but we put it on the back-burner because it wasn't due yet. Now it is, and with all the Covid issues it's slipped my mind. Coincidentally, the Chair of Governors is asking what we are doing about carbon-footprinting for the school. I think they are pretty much the same thing, but I'm not sure to what extent there is overlap and whether this is two tasks or one. Please would you muster all the detail and let me have your views – and the detail – by the end of the month.Sorry.'
It's how it goes, isn't it Dear Reader: you start the day thinking you have it under control and then – by a seemingly tortuous chain of apparently unconnected events – a Pooh-Trap arrives on your desk and nobody else in the entire staff, or world even, can resolve it but you.
Nothing daunted, James reached for his bible: ISBA Guide to Everything You Need to Know About Everything You Need to Know, sub-titled (by him) How to Keep School Governors Out of Court. Happily, he'd studied it in detail in his spare time and written copious notes, so that he didn't have to read everything in detail each time a question arose. Here is an extract from his notes on carbon-footprinting and SECR.
Notes on Carbon-Footprinting & SECR (break glass in case of fast ball from Gaffer).
Carbon-footprinting. Term tends to be used somewhat loosely. Best thought of as 'determining our impact on the environment' and actually covers much more than just our carbon footprint.
SECR = Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting.
SECR is in practice a subset of 'A'. It is the legislation that requires certain organisations, including certain larger schools, to report on key aspects of their environmental impact annually.
It came into force on 1 April 2019 and liable schools must start reporting in their first full reporting year after 1 April 2019. 'Meaning Sept 2019 to August 2020 for us' thought James. 'Meaning that report is due to be submitted by end November; meaning this is now an issue. Ho-hum.'
SECR liable schools are those which submit an annual Directors (and Trustees) Report under the Companies Act 2006 and meet 2 or more of these criteria:
Turnover (or gross income) of £36 million or more,
Balance sheet assets of £18 million or more,
250 employees or more.
(There is also an annual energy usage hurdle of 40,000kWh per year, but any large school will use much more than that on power, heat and transport combined).
N.B. Just because a smaller school will not be liable that does not negate the value of methodical assessment and annual reporting along the lines described here.
Reference Doc. The legislation is enshrined in HM Govt. Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including streamlined energy and carbon reporting guidance, dated March 2019. This covers off environmental impact reporting in general but also gives specific guidance on SECR.
Underlying Purpose. Measure impact on environment and improvements (reductions in impact) year on year.
What Needs to be Done? 5 steps:
Determine boundaries of organisation. Generally means the whole school, including the junior campus if there is one. But for SECR does not include non-UK assets, if a school has them; e.g. overseas branches.
Determine period for data collection. Match financial year if possible.
Determine key environmental impacts to be assessed. Generic categories in the govt guidance are:
Greenhouse gases and other emissions.
Materials & resource efficiency.
Comment. For any school wishing to assess its environmental impact, whether or not SECR liable, assessing the first 4 categories would make sense. Emissions and greenhouse gases from heat, power, transport have by far the biggest impact on climate change and pollution; but also addressing wastage & resource efficiency would be an area where proactive engagement by the staff and students could make a big difference to the school and environment. Besides, this broader exercise would have some clear educational benefits if the whole school could be engaged in the exercise.
From utility bills, or energy management systems, etc,; i.e. how much are we using?
For SECR has to be incl in annual Directors/Trustees' Report. But wouldn't it be so much more useful if the output from this exercise was communicated internally to the whole school so that everybody was kept engaged; and learnt from the exercise?
N.B. SECR schools MUST report on UK energy usage and specified greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) relating to power, gas combustion and transport usage, plus their intensity ratios for these (see Other Useful Nuggets below, for explanation), plus steps being taken to improve energy efficiency. BUT it would arguably make sense to treat this as a broader exercise: instead of just doing SECR, the mandatory bare minimum, do the complete exercise of determining environmental impact and progress across all relevant categories and then extract the SECR parts for the annual Directors Report as required. Why go to all that effort but leave out a large chunk of relevant and useful analysis?
How to Approach Task?
Best approach would be to gather data in-house but outsource the analysis of the data, partly because the analysis is a specialised task, but also because this meets the remit to have the exercise validated by an impartial 3rd party. (Although there is no legal requirement to have SECR audited by a 3rd party it is considered best practice and noted as such within the legislation).
Must report clearly on the methodologies used, if reporting under SECR.
Other Useful Nuggets
Scopes 1, 2, 3. These are now commonly used categories for greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) – but plenty of scope for confusion and the govt guidance is not entirely clear:
Scope 1 = direct emissions from resources owned & controlled by the school. E.g. minibus fuel; heating fuel.
Scope 2 = indirect emissions from the generation of energy used by the school but by resources not owned by the school. E.g. purchased grid power.
Scope 3 = any emissions arising from the operation of the school not included in scopes 1 and 2.
Scopes 1 and 2 can be determined reasonably practically. Scope 3 is more difficult. SECR requires scopes 1 and 2 to be covered in full but makes some allowance for exclusion of Scope 3 emissions where these are from resources not controlled or owned by the school. E.g. fuel used by parents bringing children to school would be an exemption.
The first reporting year is the 'base year': the benchmark against which progress in subsequent years will be measured. But the reporting process also has to take due account of any significant changes in the scale or operation of the school year on year, to keep the annual comparisons meaningful.
Set pragmatic targets for improvement: best to discuss with staff and students.
Absolute = applies even if the school grows in size.
Intensity = applies in proportion to size of school and therefore changes if the school changes. Hence the term 'intensity ratio'.
Fortunately James and his team had been diligently recording the energy usage data for years, so it was not going to be difficult to sort out scopes 1 and 2 retrospectively.
James was about to pick up the phone to call the company he had in mind to assist with the analysis and drafting of the report, when who should call but the COO herself:
"James, great news. I've just heard from the Admiral." (The Admiral, Dear Reader, was one of the governors. No longer serving, but still with plenty of strings to pull in the local area). "The base commander has agreed to let us use their old sports hall for the duration of the exams, just until the new build is finished. So it looks like you're off the hook on Operation Long Shot. But that will give you a bit more time to focus on the other fast ball I've just sent you."
"Good result!" said James. "Pity, though. It would have been so cool to use the carrier."
"Nothing. Nothing. Just a wild flight of fancy…"

Next-generation harvester
The harvesting and sorting system is nearing commercial release.
February 1st 2010 Issue
Geraldine Warner // February 1, 2010
The harvester has four suction tubes for each worker to use. Fruit travels up the tube to an electronic scanner on the platform. Packable fruit and culls go into separate bins.
After testing prototypes of their apple-harvesting system in Washington State in 2009, Picker Technologies and Oxbo are fine-tuning the technology. They plan to field test the next-generation harvester this spring with the hope of bringing it to market soon.
Picker Technologies LLC of Mercer Island, Washington, and Oxbo International Corporation of Clear Lake, Wisconsin, formed a partnership two years ago to develop and commercialize fruit harvesting, scanning, and sorting technologies, beginning with apples.
The apple harvester is designed to improve harvest efficiency by eliminating the need for ladders. Pickers place apples into vacuum tubes that transport the fruit up to the machine's platform, where it is scanned. Packable fruit and culls are sorted into separate bins so that only the good fruit goes to the warehouse. The harvester carries three bins concurrently: a bin for good apples, one for culls, and an empty replacement bin.
Four workers are needed with each harvester. A driver is not needed, as one of the pickers can operate the system after limited training. The harvester is designed to handle 100 apples per minute per worker. No injuries to workers were reported during the 2009 harvest. Workers who use the harvester are less tired and can work longer than when they use bags and ladders.
In 2009, the system was field tested with Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Pink Lady apples at an orchard of Stemilt Growers, Inc., near Pasco, Washington. It was used in vertical axis, slender spindle, and V-trellis systems and worked successfully on a nine-degree hill. The system works most efficiently with fruiting walls, where there are no gaps between the trees.
Tony Stolz, product manager with Oxbo, told growers at the Washington State Horticultural Association's annual meeting that as a result of the tests, the company has been making some changes to reduce bruising, improve sorting accuracy, reduce the downtime when full bins need to be replaced with empty ones, and to allow the pickers to be more mobile. The company is also studying the economics and potential return on investment for the grower. The next generation machine will be able to handle a greater size range of applesfrom 2.25 inches to 4.5 inches in diameter.
According to information from Picker Technologies, the scanning/sorting system was able, when optimally calibrated, to identify defects such as limb rub, russet, bitter pit, bird pecks, bruises, hail damage, punctures, lenticel breakdown, decay, and codling moth stings with 85 percent accuracy.
When fruit was distributed evenly in the orchard, the onboard dry bin filler system caused little or no bruising, Picker Technologies reports. However, more than 10 percent bruising could occur when the flow of fruit into the bins was uneven. A redesign of the picking platforms to allow greater mobility of pickers should reduce or eliminate that problem.
A cull analysis of 25 bins of Fuji apples that were picked and transported to a packing house, showed that 3.9 percent of the fruit had out-of-grade bruising. Some of the bruising could have been caused during shipping or unloading at the packing house.
Similar machines were tested last season on oranges and cling peaches in California. Picker Technologies has applied for more than ten patents in 21 countries.

We grow apples in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, and we just like to say that we are glad to learn and read about this kind of information, such as the apple-harvesting machines. We would like to have some more details about the purchasing of these systems.

"Microdermabrasion" is one of those current word increments to the English dialect and to the 21st Century medications that everybody is by all accounts pursuing to influence themselves to look and feel more youthful.
Microdermabrasion is as the name recommends, is a treatment of scraped area, or shedding of the epidural, or first layer of skin. The goal is to clean the skin, abandoning it delicate and brilliant. In the "past times" individuals endeavored to do likewise with chilly water, a skin scraped area powder, and an unpleasant fabric, the early microdermabrasion at home.
Microdermabrasion is significantly more logical with a wide range of microdermabrasion creams accessible from the neighborhood magnificence store, or one can go hard and fast and get an expert treatment at one of the nearby spas.
Microdermabrasion is a decent quality other option to substantially more forceful medications, for example, Botox and synthetic peels. In whatever remains of this article we will investigate how well Microdermabrasion functions, the science behind it, and how well microdermabrasion at home functions contrasted with the expert spa treatment.

A superb method to achieve this is to offer refreshments for customers as they get ready to clear out. Medicines are elevated by recharging the framework with water, crisp natural product, and light snacks, for example, almonds.

Her Perspective
View Side by Side
Article by Leah Fahy
Photo by Moe Sumino
A navy jacket, black pants, blue Nikes. Short brown hair, dark eyes. Half American, half Japanese, though to any student at the American School in Japan just describing him as "half" would suffice. He sits on the carpeted floor, leaning casually into the wall behind him, a comfortable smile playing across his face. This could be anybody at ASIJ; not shy but also not outspoken, friendly and attentive in class, nothing about Eliot Behr makes him immediately stand out. He seems to perfectly fit the mold of a typical ASIJ student. Yet this is not quite the case.
"I used to mess around a lot at my old school," he admits, his eyes flitting downwards. "I would walk out of class whenever we had a sub who told us we could leave if we weren't interested. I really didn't care about school." In contrast to what a first impression of Eliot would suggest, during middle school he was a troublemaker, attempting to attract attention by acting in a way he then thought was "cool." It was only when he moved to ASIJ his freshman year that Eliot began trying to adopt a studious, serious persona, one that would make him blend in more with his new peers.
But Eliot isn't studious, at least not in the conventional way. His friends would describe him as smart, but his interest in learning didn't come about as a result of his efforts to change his personality. He doesn't pore over textbooks; he reads Wikipedia articles on anything that sparks his interest ("It's my hobby I guess.") He doesn't think knowing formulas should be a requirement for math, but he learns them nonetheless because he respects the people whose life work was creating them. He does well in his science classes because he's fascinated with learning about how the world works; his goal isn't good grades, but his interest makes them come naturally.
"I used to be really afraid of sharks, like just scrolling past a photo of one, I couldn't even look at it." As the words exit his mouth his hands reach up instinctually to cover his eyes, as if in an effort to shield himself from the terrible images. "When you're taking a cold shower and you close your eyes, it feels like you're in the middle of the ocean and that scares me so much because I feel like a shark is going to come up from behind me." Even in this seemingly irrational fear, Eliot searches for logic. "I think maybe my ancestors were killed by sharks all the time so they evolved to be afraid of them," he muses. He is curious and thoughtful, a desire for understanding spurring him to search for the reasons behind every situation.
Though he is considering studying medicine at university, when asked he doesn't claim that his goal is to become a doctor. Instead, without a moment of hesitation he shares, "Yeah I have a life goal. It's to have my own Wikipedia page." It's not a desire for fame that propels this hope. Rather, he believes it would mean that he has "done something important in life" and "somehow contributed something to humanity." And perhaps part of him hopes that in the future it will be his work that sparks the imagination of other young Wikipedia aficionados.
An avid guitar player and music lover (he is one of the few people who still listens to full albums), Eliot admires artists who are unafraid of "being provocative and living unapologetically." Whether it's the flamboyant Morrissey from the Smiths or the eccentric stage look of Robert Smith from the Cure, he "envies the prospect of naturally having a strong personality and being comfortable with it." It is true that he may not be outwardly flashy or different. Yet talking with Eliot it becomes clear that, in his own way, he is living just as unapologetically as the musicians he looks up to. Although he may not realize it, in a high school environment of teenagers so fraught with insecurity and the need to conform, his questioning personality and ability to think deeply makes him more unique than any mere appearance could.

This article about Leah and Eliot is awesome! I absolutely love the whole idea of it and I think ASIJ/Hanabi needs to do more of this because there are so many interesting people with interests/qualities that many of us aren't aware of

I love that you listen to full albums. This is a lost art!

A Tale of Two Elections 1820 and 2019
Cinderloo 1821 supporter Geoff Fordham looks back at the 1820 general election and some parallels with our current hustings.
As we go through the agonies of yet another general election campaign, it's worth reflecting on one that went before, when elections were, at least superficially, different from nowadays; yet somehow managed to display some surprising similarities. A year before the tragedy that was to take place at Cinderloo, King George III died, which persuaded Lord Liverpool's cabinet to dissolve parliament and call a general election. As with us today, the British public in the early years of the nineteenth century had to put up with these events fairly regularly: the 1820 election was the sixth since 1800, but sadly history does not record whether there was a Brenda from Bristol who complained about their frequency.
Elections then were not the exercises in mass democracy we enjoy today, revealing the 'will of the people' (or whatever politicians later deem that to be). On the one hand this meant the electorate in 1820 did not have to put up with hysterical vox pops from Workington or somewhere, where the nation's voting intentions are inferred from the views of a handful of people outside a supermarket. On the other, few people got to vote. The population of the constituency of Wenlock (which took in, among other parts of Telford, Broseley, Madely, Coalport and Wellington) was around 17,000. In 1820 no more than 500 were eligible to vote, and over the course of the 1820 election, only 282 could be bothered to turn out, all of them of course men, and fairly wealthy ones at that.
Contemporary elections may seem to go on forever, but at least the voting is over in a day; in the nineteenth century voting itself went on for weeks. Parliament was dissolved at the end of February, but the new parliament was not summoned until 21 April, thus beginning a term of a maximum of seven years. This could be and normally was shortened, by the monarch dissolving parliament before its term expired. The powers of the monarch were less curtailed in those days than today, and they didn't need to be lied to by prime ministers in order to do the proroguing.
Corruption of the kind you rarely see today was of course commonplace: not for nothing were some constituencies called 'rotten boroughs'. Candidates could be withdrawn from standing at the whim of an individual, with no-one consulted, not least because parties didn't have members. And in 1820, the Prime Minister, Lord Liverpool, offered peerages to opposition MPs to gain their vote. Of course nothing like that happens nowadays. Oh hang on, what was it Anne Widdecombe said Johnson had offered Brexit candidates? And wasn't the Brexit party going to contest every seat….
But despite some organisational differences, the issues underpinning the 1820 election demonstrate at least echoes of what we are seeing today. At the centre of both of course, are our relations with Europe. Today, the focus is whether we leave the EU, on what terms and when. The language of some in today's debate draws on metaphors of warfare: 'winning wars', 'the country going to explode', or 'surrender acts'. But in 1820, war-like references weren't metaphorical. Wellington had defeated Napoleon at Waterloo five years before, but the war's legacy continued, not least because 1815 was the culmination of more than 20 years of conflict. Francophobia was widespread (though far from universal) at the time. Long before the 1820 election James Gillray, the great political cartoonist, drew a map of Britain with John Bull's head (or maybe the King's) where Scotland should be, showing him defecating fulsomely over France from around the Isle of Wight. Some of the government's recent comments about Europe show similarly warm feelings for our neighbours across the channel.
As with most wars our battles with the French came at a high price, compounded at the end of hostilities with massive rises in unemployment. In consequence the 1820 election took place after years of imposed austerity – sound familiar? Soldiers and sailors returning from the campaign swelled the ranks of the unemployed – 65,000 men were discharged from the navy alone by 1816. At the same time, reductions in demand for weaponry, ammunition and other supplies produced job cuts across the northern and midlands industrial areas: by 1817 7,000 Shropshire ironworkers had lost their jobs since the war's end. There are those of course who are forecasting that changing our relations with Europe will once again cost British jobs and raise food prices, but maybe that's just project fear again…
People will of course argue about whether these apparent similarities I've described are for real; but what Britain is famed for throughout the world are our continuities. Some things simply never change. And in 2019, just as in 1820, today's general election takes place against a background of reports of alleged sexual improprieties by a prince (though not, in this election at least, by the heir apparent as was the case in 1820.) The Prince of Wales had been unhappily married to Caroline of Brunswick since 1795 (the tradition of members of the Royal Family marrying foreigners goes back a long way). As is apparently expected of Princes of Wales, he had been having an affair for most of the period of the marriage. Popular sentiment turned against him when on assuming the throne he sought to divorce Queen Caroline as she would have become, freeing him to marry his mistress. Of course in those days the prince didn't have to undergo a long interview with the Emily Maitlis of the time to say he had no recollection of any wrong-doing.
At the time of writing the polls are suggesting a relatively comfortable Conservative victory, but it is still early days. Some commentators are arguing however that tactical voting, a greater willingness of young people to register and vote, and uncertainties about support for the smaller parties could undermine that, maybe producing yet another hung parliament. And that of course could mean another election, or another referendum, in the near future. Which will provide another excuse to delve into the history books to find parallels with our past – so who knows?
See you all again next year?

Regional Center for Advanced Academic Studies
Ann Sheldon, Executive Director for the Ohio Association for Gifted Children shared, "Given that only 18% of identified gifted students in Ohio are provided services, it is clear that more options are needed to meet the needs of this student population. I applaud Sandusky City Schools for recognizing and meeting this need."
"First year at RCAAS, and we're very impressed. Exposure to new and exciting topics through partnerships with local universities have made learning fun and exciting for our daughter, Anisha Chopra. She can't wait to tell us about her trips and new experiences. There is a good balance of new online teaching programs and standard in class lectures. The teaching methods implemented have taught our daughter to embrace challenges and to tackle new, unknown material with confidence. We appreciate the efforts put forth by the administration, faculty and staff. As parents, we would definitely recommend RCAAS. As a student, Anisha couldn't imagine a better school. " - Atul & Charu Chopra
Dr. Eugene T. W. Sanders, Superintendent and Chief Executive Officer for the Sandusky City Schools noted, "This innovative school is a reflection of the legacy, history, pride, and excellence that has been the hallmark of the Sandusky community. This school offers a regional approach to school instruction and we believe that innovation is the cornerstone of school restructuring in the 21st century. The Regional Center for Advanced Academic Studies is the next step in a series of transformational school efforts that we will share with the community over the next 12-15 months."
"The Regional Center For Academic Studies was right on time for our family and this district. We were apprehensive the change of school would have on our daughter but, the advanced studies along with the ability to have an inspiring setting for the students, teamed with the professors, trips, and outstanding leaders has worked wonders in inspiring and allowing my student to blossom and grow mentally, academically, personally, and socially."
- Jennifer Schonhardt, RCAAS PTO President, Kamryn Schonhardt, 4th Grade, & Kaeley Schonhardt, 8th Grade (former RCAAS Student)
Faith Denslow, Former Sandusky City Schools Board of Education President said, "This new school is the kind of Next Level strategic and innovative initiative that will provide our students with the ability to compete against students from a global perspective. We are excited about this transformation effort and the Board of Education fully endorses the transformation step. We are excited about the future for all of our students in the Sandusky region."
"I think it was pretty neat being a part of the first group to go to RCAAS. The teachers there were great and we had fun while learning. I also think it's neat that I'm part of the first group to be in the gifted program at SMS." - Kar'Lee Edwards, Sandusky High School (former RCAAS Student)
"I'm so proud to know that Kar'Lee was in the first class to ever be at RCAAS. She had Mrs. Toft as a teacher Venice Heights and I loved the way she interacted with the kids. Then to find out she was going to be the principal at RCAAS was icing on the cake! Finding out that Kar'Lee was going to be working with a professor from BGSU in 6th grade was great. Now I can also say that Kar'Lee was in the first class at SMS to be in the gifted program. She's in 7th grade and is taking Latin! My child is a well-rounded student and I contribute that to her past and present teachers, principals, classes and programs she has a chance to take from being in the gifted program, and me, her mother." - Tracy Stephens, Parent

Illegal Immigration Facts You Need to Know
Posted on: 09 May 2017
The point of this short article is to help simplify the confusion that much of the media has propagated by ignoring factual, historical, and statistical data and pointing their collective fingers at the current administration, blaming it for the current state of affairs. We are neither defending or attacking anyone or any institution. Our desire is that you take these facts and give them some reasonable consideration.
"Illegal immigration to the United States is the violation of United States immigration laws by foreign nationals who enter the country without government permission (i.e., a visa) or, after lawful admittance, remain within the country beyond their period of authorized admission."
In 2015 alone, ICE and DHS removed or returned a total of nearly one million undocumented immigrants.
Between 2008 and 2014, more than two million unauthorized immigrants were deported. "Most of these people were not a danger to society."
The prevailing reason that people of most nationalities illegally immigrate is economic opportunity.
More than 50% of all illegal immigrants in the U.S. are of Mexican origin.
Interesting stat: It is estimated that about 70,000 Canadians are in the U.S. illegally.
Interesting stat: "The United States was the number one source of unauthorized foreign workers in Canada" in 2012. (But there were only 54 known cases.)
Nearly two-thirds (6.8 million) of all undocumented immigrants in the U.S. live in only 20 cities. Most of those cities have been declared "sanctuary cities." A list of those cities and their estimated illegal immigrant populations is available here. (Note: see point #3. These cities are where the jobs are.)
The U.S. government may have, intentionally or unintentionally, promoted illegal border crossings from Mexico by promoting "the availability of food stamps and other nutritional assistance programs."
In August 2012, the Obama administration admitted that it was not enforcing the laws intended to prevent immigrants from "relying on the Public Welfare system."
In 2011, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reported that "Individuals who were Not Authorized to work in the United States were Paid $4.2 Billion in Refundable Credits.
Over 50% of the illegal immigrants removed by ICE between 2008 and 2010 were convicted criminals.
Deportations reached record levels in 2009.
If nothing else, we hope that this article, to whatever extent possible, simply helps readers to understand that the immigration issue is much more complicated than many people understand.
If you are an undocumented immigrant living in the U.S. or you wish to overstay your current visa based on a claim for seeking asylum status, we urge you to contact us at ACS, Inc. at your earliest possible convenience. Our legal staff stands ready to advise you how to navigate through the application status do that you can enjoy the freedom of living in the United States free from harm.

Sending back asylum-seekers
The European Commission will next week propose a list of 'safe countries' from which applicants for asylum will be not be assessed.
By David Cronin
May 17, 2006	5:00 pm
The idea of designating countries as safe is one of the main tenets in an EU directive on asylum procedures. Supporters of the idea believe that the asylum system operating in the Union's member states could be made more efficient if applications coming from certain countries can be systematically rejected on the grounds that it is highly unlikely that the asylum-seekers involved would be persecuted after being sent home.
But the question of which countries should appear on the list has proven fraught.
An initial list debated by EU justice and interior ministers in March was largely limited to African and Latin American countries, triggering queries from some governments about why the US had been excluded.
The disagreement prompted Franco Frattini, the European commissioner for justice, freedom and security, to request that EU member states make submissions to him about which countries they believed should appear on the list.
Frattini is hoping to win the backing from his fellow commissioners for a proposed list at their next weekly meeting (24 May). The list is understood to include only seven African countries. But an aide to Frattini said it was "extremely difficult to predict" if this list would be accepted by EU justice and interior ministers, who are to discuss the asylum procedures dossier at their 1-2 June meeting.
Pro-refugee groups have criticised the entire concept of labelling countries as "safe", arguing that each asylum claim should be analysed individually and that no country could be deemed free of human rights abuses.
Carla Ferstman from Redress, a group campaigning against torture, noted that the European Convention on Human Rights forbids expulsion of asylum-seekers if there are "substantial grounds" to believe he or she would be mistreated when returned. "There needs to be a case-by-case analysis of whether such a risk exists," she added.
Peer Baneke from the European Council on Refugees and Exile, a network of organisations working with asylum-seekers, also argued that the 'safe countries' idea did not make practical sense. "There has been a lot of pain and tears to get agreement on a list that will most likely be highly irrelevant," he said. "There will be such a limited number of countries on that list that the numbers of asylum-seekers arriving in Europe from them will be miniscule. What's the point?"
The asylum procedures directive was originally proposed by the Commission in 2000.
Although the UK's then presidency of the EU brokered an agreement on the main contents of the directive in December last year, the European Parliament's civil liberties committee decided in February to challenge the law at the European Court of Justice.

Is there a way to style the LoadMask background (as opposed to the msg)?
I want to make it white and opaque in certain cases (but not others, so css on .x-mask won't do).
I can't seem to find a way to set a class on the x-mask element.
You can use the cls property when you set the loadMask config on a grid's view. Then you can use CSS to target that mask.
I tried that, but the class gets added to the x-mask-msg el, which is the box with the text and animated gif, not the x-mask, the gray transparent element that covers what I'm masking.
I'm doing this on an edit form while the model loads using the LoadMask class. Maybe it's different with grids. I'll investigate.
Edit: I checked, and the class goes to the same place if you set it on a grid's viewConfig. There may not be a way to do this.


A lot of people want Android smart watches, but feel like they can't afford the high price tag. It's true that some smart watches are extremely expensive. However, that doesn't mean that every watch on the market is costly. These are some of the best Android smart watches under £100.
When people see this Pebble watch for the first time, they usually assume that it is a very expensive watch. People are usually shocked when they see how cheap it is. It's a sleek and feature-rich watch that also has a budget friendly price.
While the Martian smartwatch may have a cosmic name, its prices are very down to earth. This surprisingly affordable watch offers the same kinds of features that more expensive watches do. It proves that you don't have to spend a fortune in order to get an impressive watch.

Conspiracy Site, Fox News Attack Hillary's Health (Video)
As Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton expands her lead in the polls, her health has been brought into question by Fox News and InfoWars.com, a conspiracy website run by Trump supporter Alex Jones (video below).
On Aug. 8, Fox News host Sean Hannity brought up a picture of Clinton being helped up some stairs in February, which was recently posted and linked by the conservative Drudge Report, notes Real Clear Politics.
Hannity, who is openly supporting Trump, said the Clinton campaign described the Drudge Report as "shameful," and then Hannity mocked the statement to include himself as being "shameful."
Hannity brought on the "Fox News Medical A-Team" of Dr. Marc Seigel and Dr. David Samadi, neither of whom has treated or examined Clinton.
The Washington Post noted in 2013 that Siegel stated: "Before they started this, we were all in trouble with insurance to begin with. There's too much health insurance. It covers too much. Too many people have it."
Hannity asked Siegel about Clinton's medical history, and Siegel replied:
What about Hillary? In 2009, a severe fall. She breaks her elbow. 2011, she boards a plane, falls. 2012 she has a severe concussion which Bill Clinton says it took her six months to recover from.
Then she ends up with a blood-clot on the brain. She's on lifetime blood thinners. Just the point alone, if she's prone to falling, and you see from our picture up there, that it looks like she can barely get upstairs without two people carrying her. Guess what if she falls and hits her head? She'll get a blood-clot on her brain!
Siegel was also upset because Clinton's neurologist refused to give him her private medical records.
Samadi also weighed in on the months-old picture of Clinton:
Well, you know the picture that you showed as she's going up the stairs speaks a million words. Is she fatigued? Is she dehydrated? One of the main reasons why she fell in 2012 and had the concussion was severe dehydration.
They're holding her and going up the stairs. So she may be really dehydrated, she may have arthritis, she may have back pain, she may have fallen again.
We don't know. There are questions that are unanswered. What we know today is she's on thyroid medication, she suffers from hypothyroid, low thyroid, that can cause fatigue and gaining weight and all of that.
Hypothyroidism is easily controlled with daily medication as millions of Americans know.
Paul Joseph Watson, a writer for InfoWars.com, uploaded a YouTube video Aug. 4 entitled "The Truth About Hillary's Bizarre Behavior" that suggested Clinton could be suffering from a myriad of conditions (brain damage, autism, stroke, syphilis, drug abuse).
Watson's video also features heavily-edited clips of Clinton that repeatedly go backwards and forwards, as well as some set to wacky music.
Additionally, there are references to anti-Clinton articles (including Watson's own), Watson's criticism of Clinton's "weird elongated bathroom break" and mentions of Clinton's "coughing fits," which have been a favorite target for months on the Drudge Report, Gateway Pundit and Breitbart News.
Watson was asked by The Daily Beast if Clinton could have all the possible illnesses that he mentioned in the video, and Watson replied in an email:
I don't know what she has, I am not a neurologist or a psychiatrist, I merely pointed to the statements of people who are. Several of them have argued that Hillary is physically sick, while virtually everyone who has the guts to talk about how Hillary behaves in private says she acts like a sociopath, has no emotions, is completely cold, rude and is supremely arrogant.
Watson was asked if his video was like WebMDing one's self and he told the news site: "I didn't 'WedMD' anything. I spoke to health experts in private and I collated statements made by health professionals that were already part of the public record."
Watson cited numerous unidentified sources and experts in his video.

New lawsuit seeks protection zone for southern resident orcas
Posted 1:20 PM, August 19, 2019, by Associated Press and Simone Del Rosario, Updated at 08:18PM, August 19, 2019
SEATTLE -- A new U.S. lawsuit filed Monday seeks to establish a whale protection zone for endangered orcas in the Pacific Northwest.
The Center for Biological Diversity and the Orca Relief Citizens' Alliance sued NOAA Fisheries in U.S. District Court in Seattle, saying the agency has failed to act on a petition it filed in 2016.
The petition sought to bar vessels from a 10- to 12-square-mile (26- to 31-square-kilometer) area west of San Juan Island where the orcas, called southern resident killer whales, feed from April through September each year. Any vessels exempted from the ban would be required to abide by a "no wake" rule in the zone.
Researchers say the whales have been largely missing from their usual summer feeding grounds this year, apparently because their preferred prey — Chinook salmon — have been so scarce.
Canada has already announced that no vessel traffic will be allowed from June through October in three sanctuary zones in prime orca feeding habitat, and Washington state has adopted new restrictions requiring boats to keep at least 300 yards (274 meters) away from the animals.
"Southern Residents need more salmon and better protection throughout their range," Julie Teel Simmonds, an attorney with the center, said in a written statement. "But let's start by giving them the peace and quiet they need to find food in the Salish Sea."
NOAA Fisheries did not have any immediate comment on the lawsuit, said spokesman Michael Milstein. The complaint seeks to have the agency respond to the petition by Dec. 19.
The whales have been struggling with a dearth of Chinook as well as pollution and vessel noise, which advocates say hinders the echolocation they use to hunt.
The Center for Whale Research, which monitors the orcas, announced this month that three more have recently gone missing and are presumed dead, bringing the remaining population to 73 whales — the lowest number since the mid-1970s, when dozens were captured for display at marine parks around the world.
The lawsuit is the third in the past year that the Center for Biological Diversity has filed seeking better protection of the whales.
The earlier cases seek to expand designated critical habitat for the whales into the waters off Washington, Oregon and California where the whales forage in the late fall, winter and early spring, and to ensure that managers of Pacific salmon fisheries minimize the impacts on the whales.
In response, the federal government has announced that by October it will propose expanded habitat protections off the Pacific coast, and that by next May it will issue an updated analysis about the extent to which salmon fishing is harming the orcas.

American Airlines Solidifies Leadership Position in Miami and Adds New Nonstop Boston to London Service
Monday, September 30, 2019, 8:00 AM

American continues to expand footprint into Latin America and across the Atlantic
FORT WORTH, Texas — Whether across the pond or across the equator, American Airlines continues to strengthen its network to give customers more travel options than ever before. Today American announced plans to grow its international network with new and increased service:
Increased service from Miami (MIA) to:
Lima, Peru (LIM), beginning April 7
Santiago, Chile (SCL), beginning winter 2020
São Paulo(GRU), beginning winter 2020
New daily service from Boston (BOS) to London Heathrow (LHR) beginning March 29
Extended service to key European destinations including Rome (FCO), Dublin (DUB) and Barcelona, Spain (BCN)
All new routes are subject to government approval. Flights will be available for purchase Oct. 7, with the exception of GRU and SCL, which will be available for purchase in December.
New opportunities in Latin America
This year, American celebrates 30 years serving MIA, and now has even more to celebrate with additional service to LIM, SCL and GRU set to begin next year.
"American's leading position in Miami is something we're incredibly proud of and committed to maintaining," said Vasu Raja, American's Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning. "We have so many possibilities from our Latin American gateway and are excited for the opportunity to use our domestic strength to enhance our international network. We'll continue to grow, compete and thrive in a region of the world where we have a long history and a bright future."
"American Airlines is Miami's hometown airline and we appreciate their dedication to Miami-Dade County with more flight options for local residents to see the world, and more opportunities to welcome customers to our great county," said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez.
American currently operates two daily flights to LIM from MIA, and next spring the airline will increase operations year-round to three times a day on a Boeing 757, providing more service than any other carrier to one of South America's largest cities. And next winter gets even warmer with an additional flight to Chile's capital, Santiago, and a third flight to Brazil's largest city, São Paulo. Both services will be operated on a 777-200.
The best schedule in Boston
When new American nonstop service from BOS to LHR launches next year, customers will have access to a total of five daily flights to choose from between American and joint business partner British Airways.
"Our new nonstop flight, combined with the service provided by our Atlantic Joint Business, gives customers the most robust schedule and the most premium seats between Boston and London," Raja continued. "Boston customers have been asking for more service and we're delivering with this new flight, and our recently announced seasonal service to Nassau and Grand Cayman."
American's BOS to LHR flight will be flown on a state-of-the-art 777-200, featuring 37 Flagship Business seats and 24 Premium Economy seats. The new flight fits into the current British Airways schedule with a peak evening departure (American Flight No. 108) from BOS and adds a new morning departure from LHR (American Flight No. 109). American and British Airways will have the most flights between the two historic cities when flights begin next year. Together, American and British Airways provide up to 71 flights every day between the U.S. and London.
And there's more good news for customers flying out of Boston, as International Airline Group (IAG) subsidiary LEVEL will operate three weekly flights from BOS to Paris Orly Airport (ORY) beginning March 31. The Atlantic Joint Business continues to build a bigger and better network next summer by adding an additional 125,000 seats per month across the Atlantic with six new routes, in addition to the 12 routes already launched this year.
The new flight comes at an optimal time to build on the investments American has made at BOS this year. In January the airline co-located all mainline operations to a renovated portion of the B terminal so that customers have access to one main ticket lobby, a new baggage claim facility and a newly renovated Admiral's Club, particularly welcomed by the airline's international Flagship travelers. In addition, in June, American and Massport unveiled the new Terminal B Great Hall, offering customers more convenience and increased efficiency at the ticket counter and security.
Summer comes early
American is also extending seasonal flying dates on some of the most popular routes including service between New York (JFK) and Rome (FCO); Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and Dublin (DUB); and Chicago (ORD) and Barcelona (BCN). These routes will now operate a month longer than their current schedule. Stay tuned for more seasonal extensions in the coming weeks.
JFK–FCO May 3–Oct. 27 March 29–Oct. 23
DFW–DUB June 6–Sept.29 May 7–Oct. 7
ORD–BCN May 3–Oct. 27 April 6–Oct. 23

Records continue to fall at Kamloops Airport.
Latest statistics show the first quarter of 2019 — January, February and March — resulted in the most passengers ever to pass through the local terminal.
Through the first three months of the year, Fulton Field welcomed 101,966 passengers, an 8.9 per cent increase over the 92,471 passengers who used the airport during the first quarter of 2018.
Air Canada Rouge's non-stop flights to Toronto will resume in July.


The 2D homing missiles asset for Unity uses a proportional controller algorithm to ensure that missiles track targets in a very realistic fashion.
Only two script components to worry about. One for your missile GameObjects and one for the objects that launch missiles.
Built-in object pool manager ensures high performance and good FPS on mobile devices.
A custom editor allows you to make your own missile launch configurations, and change how missiles launch and perform.
The 2D Homing Missiles asset for Unity has tons of features and customisation options. Here are just a few highlights.
Proportional controller algorithm for smart tracking, realistic homing missiles.
Lots of customisation options and tweakable settings. A custom, feature rich built-in editor is included to make creating your own unique missile launch setups easy as pie.
Simple process to add missile launch points to your GameObjects for multiple-missile configurations, or even just single launcher configurations.
Normally, missiles should never move directly towards their targets, this is not how they work in real life. Too many times we see simple missile follow scripts being used to allow missiles to track targets. 2D Homing Missiles for Unity does things the right way, and provides you with realistic missile movement via it's use of a proportional controller algorithm.
A desired state is constantly fed to each missile's controller, as their targets move, steering the missiles in the right direction in order for them to reach their targets with realistic flight paths. This results in super realistic (and entertaining to watch) missile patterns.


Thanks for a great Reading Night!
Thanks to all of the teachers, parents, students and administrators who did so much to make this year's Reading Night so fun! The treats, performances, decorations, books, activities, and costumes were awesome.

Q: Downgrade Windows 10 Enterprise with key I know there are ways to downgrade Windows 10 Enterprise to Window 10 Professional with suggestions like this here: Is there a way to downgrade Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro?
However, I'm wondering if its just easier to enter a license key! Are there any ramifications to just entering a new license key into Windows 10 and then rebooting to activate Pro and leave Enterprise?
Also I'm aware of Enterprise being installed for a reason due to being installed by IT from a company in question however... doesn't apply here.

Q: Gyroscope/Compass and Device Orientation I'm making a compass app for Android and I've managed to capture the azimuth by using the gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer (see here for the tutorial I used). Unfortunately, the compass reading only functions when the device is placed parallel to the ground (ie, flat on a table/the palm of my hand, etc.). Whenever I tilt the device up to a fully upright position (with the screen facing me), the compass simply gives out a wrong reading. I'm assuming that this is because the axes change when the device's orientation itself changes. How do I prevent this from happening? I would like the compass to work in BOTH these two positions: parallel to the ground AND the fully upright position. How do I go about doing this? If someone could give me a push in the right direction, that would be super helpful.
Thanks for all your help! :D

A: add mDisplay variable in your SensorFusionActivity, like this:
private Display mDisplay = null;

then, add following code in onCreate method:
mDisplay = ((WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();

finally, modify the calculateAccMagOrientation this way:
// calculates orientation angles from accelerometer and magnetometer output
public void calculateAccMagOrientation() {
    if(SensorManager.getRotationMatrix(rotationMatrix, null, accel, magnet)) {

        int rotation = mDisplay.getRotation();

        if(rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0)
            SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(rotationMatrix, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_Y, SensorManager.AXIS_X, rotationMatrix);
        else if(rotation == Surface.ROTATION_180)
            SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(rotationMatrix, SensorManager.AXIS_Y, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_X, rotationMatrix);
        else if(rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270)
            SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(rotationMatrix, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_X, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_Y, rotationMatrix);

        SensorManager.getOrientation(rotationMatrix, accMagOrientation);
    }
}
