Christian Post, "Common Core Renews Our Commitment to Public Schooling": Dr. Antipas Harris writes that preparing students for success at the collegiate or career level will require once again making "rigorous academic expectations the touchstone of public education." "Students achieve to the expectations we hold them to," Dr. Harris says. "All too often, we accept the notion that for public school students good enough is good enough…While lowering the bar may give schools an easy out to tout performance criteria, it is immoral and does not serve justice to our children." Noting as much as 40% of high school graduates require remediation – even higher among students of color and community college students – Dr. Harris extolls CCSS for setting "high, clear learning goals" and "rigorous benchmarks for all public school students." "I encourage parents to read the Common Core Standards for themselves. The content is not sinister; it is straightforward and aligned with what any mother or father would want for their child."
What It Means: CCSS set high standards across classrooms at each grade level so more students will develop the skills to graduate prepared for college or a career. Dr. Harris points out that holding students of all backgrounds to similar expectations will create greater educational equality, and help low-income students and students of color who often face lower graduation and college-participation rates.
Columbia Journalism Review, "Common Problems with Common Core Reporting": Much of the media coverage of the CCSS testing opt-out movement "has been guilty of over-emphasizing the extent of the conflict, speculating dire consequences based on little information, and over-relying on anecdotes and activists' claims rather than digging for a broader sampling of verified numbers," Alexander Russo reports. "The real story – that the rollout of these new, more challenging tests is proceeding surprisingly well – could be getting lost." Looking at recent national coverage, "you'd think the whole Common Core enterprise was about to come crashing down," when in fact the "reality isn't so clear," Russo says, noting recent repeal efforts have "fared poorly." Citing several examples, Russo says that most coverage has ignored successful field tests (and the fact that most students are taking the assessments), and used anecdotal evidence to predict the downfall of CCSS. To minimize the issue, opt-out numbers should be verified and put into context, and "journalistic ambiguity" should be avoided. "The large-scale snafus that have been predicted do not seem to have occurred, did not take place last year during the trial run process, and should not continue to be reported until they actually take place."
What It Means: The report makes clear that the opt-out narrative has largely exaggerated the scope and impact of parents' decisions to have their children opt out of the tests, and extrapolated anecdotal evidence to predict the demise of CCSS. In fact, most students are participating in assessments, and initial indications show testing is going smoothly. As countless teacher voices point out, assessments are an important tool to measure student progress and identify and address learning needs. These exams provide more constructive, timely feedback so schools can gradually devote less time to testing and test prep.
Reno Gazette Journal, "Finding Common Ground on Common Core": Michael Wixom and Jason Geddes, members of the Nevada Board of Regents, say before "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" parents should consider the facts about CCSS and the impact that the higher standards are having. The authors point out that the Standards were not created by the Obama Administration, nor do they dictate curriculum. "The Common Core curriculum is set by local school districts and teachers," the piece says, adding the Standards have strong support from education and business groups. About 50% of Nevada college students and 60% of community college students require remediation, which is "much more expensive and far less effective than solid high school preparation." "Certainly, we should vigorously discuss how we can make Common Core more effective and relevant," the piece concludes. "We desperately need common educational standards that will prepare our students for both college and the workforce. Otherwise, Nevada may well become a third-world economy."
What It Means: By setting a high standards for all students, CCSS better ensure more students will graduate high school prepared for college-level work or a career. The piece points out the Standards enjoy broad support from the education and business communities, which recognize the importance of improving student outcomes. In states like Kentucky and Tennesee, two of the earliest adopters of CCSS, student proficiency rates and college-readiness scores have made some of the biggest improvements in the country. Conversely, states like South Carolina and Oklahoma have created greater uncertainty for educators and unlocked new problems by opting to replace the Standards.
Sioux City Journal, "Republicans Should Support Common Core": Charese Yanney, a Sioux City resident and an appointee to the IDOT board, says political candidates that emphasize the need for local education control but then oppose CCSS are at odds with themselves. "Common Core empowers parents by ensuring that the day-to-day decisions affecting their children's learning are made locally," Yanney says. "We have built on this approach through the Iowa Core program that provides a state-specific guide to the essential 21st-century learning skills students need to be successful… Iowa policymakers took the framework of Common Core's existing standards and established a more rigorous set of expectations for students." Yanney concludes that political candidates must answer whether they will support these high standards or "turn back the clock."
What It Means: CCSS set high expectations for students at each grade level in order to ensure that more students graduate high school prepared for college or a career. Objective analysis finds that CCSS are higher than most state's previous standards, and as Yanney points out, the Standards retain local control and ensure that educators have the flexibility to adjust to the different learning styles of their students.
ABC News 10 NY, "Classroom Curriculums Changing under Common Core": New York teachers say CCSS have helped put "professionalism in the classroom" and are helping students develop life-long learning skills. "What Common Core does is they really break it down and give you a deeper understanding of what we're doing," said Tony Linter, a New York math specialist. In ELA classes, CCSS has turned a greater focus on technical writing and put a greater emphasis on "how thing work in the real world." "It's not just subject related, but it's a whole school approach to educating a child," said Golf Middle School Principal Matthew Sloane. "Leave it in the hands of the educators," said a local English teacher. "We're professionals. We know what we're doing."
What It Means: In schools across the country, teachers have adjusted instruction to help students meet higher expectations, and they are seeing improvements in student outcomes as a result. A study by the Center for Education Policy found in more than two-thirds of districts, teachers are developing curricula to meet the higher standards, and a Scholastic survey found more than two-thirds of teachers report seeing an improvement in students' critical thinking and reasoning skills under the Standards. In states like Kentucky and Tennessee, two of the earliest adopters of CCSS, proficiency rates and college-readiness scores have steadily increased over the past three years.
Washington Post, "Bobby Jindal Vows (Again) to Pull Out of Common Core": On Wednesday, Gov. Jindal unveiled a "two-prong" plan to use legislation to "get Common Core out of Louisiana." Gov. Jindal said he will support bills that will require the state to replace CCSS and the current assessments with "high-quality Louisiana standards," and revert back to the state's old standards and LEAP and iLEAP tests in the interim. A second piece of the legislation would prevent the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) from entering into contracts that would "hand control of Louisiana schools to third-party entities or the federal government." The plan would force the state to write new standards from scratch and require that all elected officials dealing with education vote on the initial draft, which would then require approval from the legislature and the BESE. "This package of legislation will help to address the growing concern and frustration surrounding Common Core and the PARCC assessment, as more and more parents opt out of these test and seek clarity for their children's academic future," Jindal said in a statement. Superintendent John White and BESE President Chas Roemer, who held a teleconference after Gov. Jindal's announcement, said the move would come at "extraordinary cost," subject students and teachers to two new sets of standards, and amount to little more than a political ploy." "It is so clear that he is only concerned about one thing, and that is his own politics," Roemer said.
Where They Went Wrong: As White and Roemer point out, Gov. Jindal's plan amounts to his latest tactic to woo a small but vocal base of national voters. The proposal would introduce new layers of bureaucracy into education issues, and create greater uncertainty in the classroom by subjecting teachers and students to two new sets of standards, including going back to the state's old criteria. Similar legislation was voted down by the Republican-controlled legislature last year, and key lawmakers have already expressed concern with the plan, including House Speaker Chuck Kleckley, who said it would be a mistake to revert back to the state's old standards.
Diane Ravitch's Blog, "Maine Teacher Wins $1 Million Prize, Advises Young People Not to Enter Teaching Because of Common Core and Testing": Nancie Atwell, a Maine literacy teacher who won the Varkey Foundation 'Global Teacher of the Year' award, discouraged young people from becoming public teachers because of CCSS "constraints" and tests monitoring what teachers do. Atwell's remarks came during an interview with CNN in which she said, "public school teachers are so constrained right now by the Common Core standards and the tests developed for children to monitor what teachers are doing with them…It's a movement that has turned teachers into technicians, not reflective practitioners, and if you are a creative, smart, young person this is not the time to go into teaching [in public schools]."
Where They Went Wrong: Atwell's attitude toward CCSS and CCSS-aligned assessments is not reflective of most teachers' views. Studies, including a Scholastic survey last fall, find that teachers who have worked closely with CCSS overwhelmingly support implementation and say it is going well. More than two-thirds report an improvement in students' ability to use critical thinking and reasoning skills. Four recipients of Arizona's Teacher of the Year award wrote earlier this month, "We strongly support [CCSS] and their continued implementation in our schools… The positive impact of these standards can be seen in Arizona classrooms every day."
Associated Press, "Arkansas Effort to End Common Core-Linked Test Fails": An effort to end Arkansas' participation in PARCC assessments died before a state legislative panel Wednesday after lawmakers said it was premature to scrap the tests. Instead, the Senate Education Committee rewrote the proposal to keep using PARCC but to also prohibit the state from extending its contract for any more than a year. Last month, Gov. Asa Hutchinson created a state task force led by Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin to review the standards and related assessments.
Associated Press, "Md. Senate Approves Commission to Look at Standardized Tests": The Maryland Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday to create a commission tasked with reviewing the state's system for public school assessments. The 19-member commission would have a year to conduct its review and then present the findings to all state and local boards of education.

Q: Context based termination of long running loop in a go routine I'm implementing a feature where I need to read files from a directory, parse and export them to a REST service at a regular interval. As part of the same I would like to gracefully handle the program termination (SIGKILL, SIGQUIT etc).
Towards the same I would like to know how to implement Context based cancellation of process.
For executing the flow in regular interval I'm using gocron.
cmd/scheduler.go
func scheduleTask(){
    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
    defer cancel()
    s := gocron.NewScheduler()
    s.Every(10).Minutes().Do(processTask, ctx)
    s.RunAll()  // run immediate
    <-s.Start() // schedule
    for {
        select {
        case <-(ctx).Done():
            fmt.Print("context done")
            s.Remove(processTask)
            s.Clear()
            cancel()
        default:
        }
    }
}
func processTask(ctx *context.Context){
  task.Export(ctx)
}

task/export.go
func Export(ctx *context.Context){
   pendingFiles, err := filepath.Glob("/tmp/pending/" + "*_task.json")
   //error handling
   //as there can be 100s of files, I would like to break the loop when context.Done() to return asap & clean up the resources here as well
   for _, fileName := range pendingFiles {

    exportItem(fileName string)
   }
}

func exportItem(fileName string){
    data, err := ReadFile(fileName)  //not shown here for brevity
    //err handling
    err = postHTTPData(string(data)) //not shown for brevity
    //err handling
}

A: For the process management, I think the other component is the actual handling of signals, and managing the context from those signals.
I'm not sure of the specifics of go-cron (they have an example showing some of these concepts on their github) but in general I think that the steps involved are:

*

*Registration of os signals handler

*Waiting to receive a signal

*Canceling top level context in response to a signal

Example:
sigCh := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
defer close(sigCh)
signal.Notify(sigCh, syscall.SIGTERM, syscall.SIGQUIT, syscall.SIGINT)
<-sigCh
cancel()

I'm not sure how this will look in the context of go-cron, but the context that the signal handling code cancels should be a parent of the context that the task and job is given.

A: Worked this out myself just now. I've always felt the blog post on contexts was A LOT of material to try and understand so a simpler demonstration would be nice.
There are many scenarios you may encounter. Each one is different and will require adaptation. Here's one example:
Say you have a channel that could run for an indeterminate amount of time.
indeterminateChannel := make(chan string)
for s := range indeterminateChannel{
   fmt.Println(s)
}

Your producer might look something like:
for {
  indeterminateChannel <- "Terry"
}

We don't control the producer, so we need someway to cut out of your print loop if the producer exceeds your time limit.
indeterminateChannel := make(chan string)

// Close the channel when our code exits so OUR for loop no longer occupies
// resources and the goroutine exits.
// The producer will have a problem, but we don't care about their problems.
// In this instance.
defer close(indeterminateChannel)

// we wait for this context to time out below the goroutine.
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.TODO(), time.Minute*1)
defer cancel()

go func() {
 for s := range indeterminateChannel{
   fmt.Println(s)
 }
}()

<- ctx.Done // wait for the context to terminate based on a timeout.

You can also check ctx.Err to see if the context exited due to a timeout or because it was canceled.
You might also want to learn about how to properly check if the context failed due to a deadline: How to check if an error is "deadline exceeded" error?
Or if the context was canceled: How to check if a request was cancelled

It's tucked between Palm Beach and Miami,it's gorgeous and it's luxurious. And with a good golf course on board, The Seagate Resort is the real deal.
When one of the world's most respected golf teachers walks up to you on the practice tee of a freshly reopened and rejuvenated course on Florida's Palm Coast and strikes up a half-hour conversation about everything from Tiger Woods to a certain writer's need to "tilt away from the target," you know it's gonna be a good day.
Actually, it was a great 36 hours at Seagate Resort in Delray Beach, Florida, and its newly acquired Seagate Country Club. But this was definitely a highlight.
Just a week earlier, in mid-January, the classic Sunshine State layout was drowning under record rains, but here it was, revived and ready to roll in all its high-season glory. It's the time of year when Craig Harmon, Butch's older brother and a third of perhaps golf's most famous teaching triumvirate, takes up part-time residence as Seagate's director of instruction after 40-odd years as the head pro at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., a multi-major site with tons of history. Craig is a somewhat gentler version of Butch, quick with a quip or anecdote and an even quicker study of one's golf move. He watched me knock a few irons out onto the spacious range, declared me an "over the ball" player and, with one simple adjustment, had me striking the sphere more crisply and accurately. Though I've since struggled to fully incorporate the new move into my game, I'll treasure his impromptu lesson forever.
That led to the day's main event: A round on the course itself, with the son of one of its original members to provide play-by-play on its fresh look and feel. Originally designed by Joe Lee in the 1960s, purchased by the hotel's owners in 2012 and reopened in November 2013 after extensive work by Gene Bates, Seagate Country Club has new life not only for members but for resort guests who now have tee time access.
only 124 yards long but all over water to a peninsula green — pretty much summing up what South Florida golf is all about.
A solid stick himself, Bossov would like to see certain holes lengthened so Seagate approaches the 7,000-yard mark from the tips — on one he pointed to a copse of trees beyond the back tees that could be cleared — but for now he's just happy to see it thrive after years of dwindling membership and dodgy finances. It's the kind of club that will attract low-digit studs as well as more casual "social members" who want to enjoy the massive-but-tasteful clubhouse's amenities, including two restaurants — fine dining upstairs, grill room style fare downstairs. I couldn't help but hope that I'd find myself in Bossov's group someday down the road.
The immediate plan, however, meant heading back down Atlantic Avenue, under Interstate 95, through Del Ray Beach's stylish gantlet of shops, eateries and galleries, over the Intracoastal Waterway and to the Seagate Hotel, whose 154 rooms and suites definitely put it in the "boutique" realm but with a big-city finish that combines upscale weekend sleek (the lobby is all done up in a coastal earth tones, a big blue aquarium its centerpiece) with beach-meets-business weekday functionality. Meeting rooms share first-floor space with a coffee shop and the lovely, lively Atlantic Grille, where for lunch I enjoyed a quick wedge salad and the creamiest lobster bisque I've had in years. I walked three blocks to the beach itself, broad and white and strewn with covered cabanas as any self-respecting South Florida strand should be. I hung out in the semi-unseasonable January chill, counting the minutes to my late-afternoon rendezvous with Dana and her magic fingers.
Come again? Who? Magic what? Oh yeah … Dana. She was the real massage therapist deal, doling out 80 minutes of deep-tissue wizardry upon my travel-weary, middle-aged body at The Seagate Spa. Billed as the "Golfer's Massage," the session included not only an expert rubdown but some strategic stretching that put me in positions I hadn't visited in a while. Maybe ever. Through her practiced and measured touch, Dana nudged my previously underserved and overworked hammies, rotator cuffs and hip abductors toward a newly awakened state. I walked back to my "superior room" at the adjacent, recently remodeled hotel in wobbly wonder.
headed upstairs, climbed into my oversized jet tub and watched Sportscenter through the opened slider-window between bathroom and bedroom (a design feature I've come across at other resorts, and personally love). Instead I caught a shuttle to Seagate's offsite Beach Club for a special "Full Moon Dinner" as, on cue, the bright orb rose over the Atlantic: classic French Onion soup followed by Roasted Branzino stuffed with tomato jam, savoy cabbage and red wine jus and served atop mashed potatoes. A glass of pinot along the way, some chocolate salted caramel lava cake to finish … and another wobbly walk out the front door, toward my all-too-temporary home.
If that's the kind of experience Seagate Resort and its fine new golf partner dish out daily, I'll have more, please.
Care to join me? Not a problem: Del Ray visitors can fly into Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach. Or Miami, another half hour south. It's just a thought. Dana and her fingers send their best. So do Mr. Harmon and his peerless golf knowledge.
The Seagate Hotel & Spa is a luxury boutique resort in Delray Beach, Florida. The 154-room beach-inspired property offers upscale dining options, an 8,000-square-foot on-site spa and exclusive privileges at the private Seagate Beach Club, located less than a mile from the hotel, as well as access to the private Seagate Country Club, complete with championship golf courses, Har-Tru tennis courts, full-service clubhouse and more. Signature restaurant, Atlantic Grille, features contemporary American cuisine with a focus on locally sourced seafood.

David's Bridal unveils loyalty program
By Tatiana Walk-Morris
David's Bridal on Tuesday announced the launch of a loyalty program, dubbed "Diamond, Loyalty Program by David's" offering different gifts to consumers at various levels, according to a press release emailed to Retail Dive. Users will earn 1 "diamond point" for every $1 spent.
The program allows customers to receive items such as a free honeymoon, luxury handbags and accessories as well as gifts from the Ritz-Carlton Spa, The Spa at the St. Regis Hotel and Marriott Spa Hotels, among others, the company said. Customers can also share their loyalty number with others to help earn points toward their free honeymoon.
When new users sign up, they will receive welcome coupons that can be shared with others via text and email from their phones. The loyalty program is free to join, and customers can access exclusive offers through Popwallet after signing up, the company said.
David's Bridal's loyalty program is part of the company's overall effort to introduce new ways to better serve its customers, David's Bridal CEO Jim Marcum said in a statement. The goal behind the program is to help customers get more value with David's Bridal than at other retailers and find more ways to save, access the company's partners and potentially win a getaway, Marcum said.
The loyalty program is among a growing list of services the retailer has rolled out this year. Beyond forming a partnership with Popwallet, which is being used to distribute mobile offers as part of the retailer's reward program, David's Bridal this year also began offering installment payments through Affirm, set up virtual styling appointments, introduced AR and 3D dress shopping and virtual wedding planning tools, and introduced a chatbot. The bridal retailer also recently acquired the Rustic Wedding Chic website.
Bridal retailers continue to vie for a spot in the shrinking wedding market, and while some have seen success even with the pandemic, others have not made it. Brideside abruptly shut down in November due to economic uncertainty and wedding cancellations amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Macy's partnered with Zola on wedding registries, and Jared released its own wedding planning tools. It remains to be seen whether technology can save the declining wedding retail market.

India improves score in ease of cross-border trade
2 min read . Updated: 20 Jul 2021, 09:25 PM IST Gireesh Chandra Prasad
CBIC said in a communication posted on its website on Monday that the UN survey result was a remarkable improvement in India's ranking on 'digital and sustainable trade facilitation.' (Photo: Bloomberg)
As per the latest UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation, India's rank moved up from 78.49% in 2019 to 90.32% in 2021
India has made noticeable progress in ease of cross-border trade, a UN survey that tracked 143 economies on key trade facilitation parameters over a two-year period said.
As per the latest UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation, India's rank moved up from 78.49% in 2019 to 90.32% in 2021. The bi-annual survey exclusively deals with trade facilitation measures taken by individual countries.

Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) said in a communication posted on its website on Monday that the UN survey result was a remarkable improvement in India's ranking on 'digital and sustainable trade facilitation.'
CBIC said that the results showed India was among the best performing country in South and south West Asia region and in the Asia Pacific region. India's overall score has also been found to be higher than many of the OECD countries and the average of EU, it said.
Among developed countries, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Japan and Belgium have scored more than 93%. In South Asia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were behind India with a score of 64.5% and 60.2%, the survey showed.
The survey tracks 58 measures identified with trade facilitation such as facility for electronic submission of declarations and electronic payment of duties and fees and electronic application for refunds which are seen as global best practices. As per the 2021 survey report, India has scored 100% in transparency, 95.83% in formalities, 88.89% in institutional arrangement and cooperation: and 96.30% in paperless trade.
The survey results comes as a boost to policy makers in India trying to improve the country's attractiveness as a business destination and to capture a larger pie in the global supply chain of goods and services. Boosting cross border trade is a key element of the post-pandemic economic recovery strategy of many nations.
Since the beginning of the pandemic last year, New Delhi has implemented several measures to cut down procedures and the time taken for customs clearance. From 15 July, customs authorities put in place a host of measures to speed up assessment and clearance of shipments in a more anonymous way. This is expected to streamline the faceless assessment scheme rolled out last October and process shipments without direct interface with the merchant.

Simplifying cross-border trade has been a priority for the Narendra Modi administration as it is seen as a key determinant of the ease of doing business in the country. Also, officials are keen to reduce the logistics cost to boost the industry's competitiveness in world markets. During the second wave of the pandemic, when there was an acute shortage of medical supplies, the authorities put in place a simplified regime for import of relief materials with a focus on quick customs clearance followed by paperwork to be done within a specified time frame. For checking smuggling and tax evasion, CBIC is increasingly relying on technology and data sourced from other regulators such as the income tax department.

Started in 2004 by an entrepreneur by the name of Chad Kinsman, the media company received early positive reviews and thus grew rapidly. Originally, only written content such as blog posts, articles and still images were available on ADK, but a demand for more information and services allowed the service to grow into a full featured digital distributor of information and entertainment surrounding the fighting world.
For example, a recent documentary by ADK followed the fighter Anderson Silva around for 2 weeks as he prepared to fight Jon Jones and defend his world championships title. The audience can watch as Anderson fights through training to learn new moves, struggles to overcome family issues, and ultimately arrives at the ring to face his renowned opponent.
Organizations such as the UFC, K1, Fight Korea, and others have partnered with ADK to bring live matches, commentary, and in-depth post fight interviews to viewers all around the world. While certain content is available free of charge, users can also choose to purchase premium packages that give them access to more fights, statistics, interviews, and even prize pools.
ADK was one of the first channels to offer truly live "fight night" style events, featuring professional commentators that offered differing opinions on the strategy, health, conditioning, and skill level of combatants in order to give viewers the best context possible.
ADK can be accessed from a number of devices such as your home television, laptop, iPhone, iPad, and more.

What is an Atom Kid Friendly?
Getting your child interested in science is easy with these easy experiments for preschoolers. Learn the basics of atoms, including Electrostatic forces and Protons. They'll also learn about Electrons and the properties of different atoms. You'll have fun while they learn about these subjects.
Basic parts of an atom
In our universe, the basic parts of an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons are heavier and remain in the center of the atom, called the nucleus. The electrons are lighter and reside in the orbitals around the nucleus. They are attracted to the protons by an electromagnetic force. Neutrons have a neutral charge, which means that they have the same amount of positive and negative charges as the protons.
Atoms are the basic units of matter, and everything that we can see is made up of them. In fact, the smallest thing in the universe is an atom! Besides being tiny, atoms are made up of three basic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These particles are found in different quantities in different substances.
Protons and neutrons are the main parts of an atom, and their number varies according to the chemical element. Each atom has its own atomic number, which determines its chemical composition. Hydrogen, for example, has a single proton and a single neutron, while helium and oxygen have two protons each.
Electrostatic forces
Electrostatic forces in an atom are fundamental forces that hold together matter. They also allow atoms of different elements to bond together, making solid objects solid. This force is best understood by examining the Coulomb's Law, which describes the relationship between two charges. The Coulomb's Law equation has both positive and negative charges labelled as q and r.
The primary focus of any electrostatics lesson should be enabling students to explore the phenomena and make simple explanations for their findings. In addition to this, the lesson should encourage students to differentiate electrostatic and magnetic forces. The most common electrostatic experiences involve rubbing one object against another, such as a ruler attracting a piece of paper.
To make the lesson more kid-friendly, you can show atoms in a variety of ways. For example, you can use magnets to demonstrate the forces at work inside an atom. For instance, two magnets can attract each other, but will repel each other when flipped around. This is because opposite poles attract one another, and like charges repel one another.
Teaching kids about electrons in an atom is a great way to introduce the deep mysteries of life. Electrons are particles that move in pairs around an atom's nucleus. Kids will learn about how electrons move and that no two electrons are the same.
Electrons are the smallest particles in an atom and are negatively charged. They balance the positive charge of the protons inside the atom's nucleus. They are extremely small compared to the other parts of an atom, and their mass is one thousand times less than a proton.
Because electrons are so small, they can easily fit inside a child's hands. They are drawn to the positive charge of the nucleus. Because of this, they are more child-friendly than protons. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are positively and negatively charged. The nucleus also contains quarks, which are so small that they are almost impossible to detect. These particles were first discovered in 1964 by physicist Murray Gell-Mann. They were given the names up, down, charm, and strange.
Whether you are teaching children about the structure of atoms or simply want to enhance their science knowledge, protons are an excellent resource. These elementary-level particles are kid-friendly and come with a wealth of illustrations, diagrams, and other helpful resources. Use this activity sheet to help your students understand the relationship between protons and electrons. They can then apply this knowledge to explain the behavior of charged balloons.
Protons and electrons have opposite charges, which attract each other and keep an atom together. When protons are outside the atom, they acquire some bizarre and potentially dangerous properties. For example, their electric charge causes them to move when rubbing against an uncharged object. These high-speed protons are also responsible for causing geomagnetic storms.
Every element has at least one proton in its nucleus. Besides protons, all elements in the universe contain at least one electron. While the number of electrons is small in comparison to protons, they have the same charge. That is why atoms that have equal numbers of electrons and protons are neutral.

The Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club recently held the Sylvia Gibb Garden Bowl ladies pairs tournament and what a success it was.
We made this into a charity event to honour Sylvia Gibb a long-time club member who passed away in 2013. We held a raffle and also set up a chocolate fountain which was a huge hit. Proceeds from these two events were donated to the Oceanside Haven House and as part of our commitment to the community, the club came through with a top-up donation. In total we raised $545.
On behalf of our club and Oceanside Haven House we wish to thank the local businesses that generously donated to the raffle: Chocolates Plus, Synergy Day Spa, Deez Restaurant & Bar, Shady Rest Waterfront Restaurant, Mulberry Bush Book Store, Qualicum Bakery, Bailey's in the Village Restaurant, Fresh 'N Fabulous Flowers and Gifts, Englishman Interiors, Outsider Adventures, Petal & Kettle Florist, Faye's Gifts, Lefty's Restaurant, Driving Miss Daisy, Dr. T. Kirk, Gary's Bistro, Oceanside Pizza, The Source and What's Cooking. In addition, David Childs and Charles Macintyre, members of our club, donated.
A very special thanks to two people: Vivien Sears of Re/Max Real Estate, our sponsor (she put on a great wine and cheese reception for the participants) and to Lynn Chwartacki the driving force for this event.
We could not have pulled this off without the support of our club members who prepared the greens, made the lunches, sold tickets, looked after the bar and kept score. So to all those who made it happen, thank-you.

Q: CTE variables, Exec procedure and order by EmployeeLevel ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[p_ReturnEmployeeOrg]
( @BusinessEntityID int = 21 ) **-- NOT WORKING**
AS
SELECT * FROM HumanResources.Employee
;WITH cte_Emp (EmployeeID,ManagerID,Title,EmployeeName,ManagerName,EmployeeLevel)
AS
-- Anchor member definition
(SELECT e.BusinessEntityID,e.MaritalStatus,e.JobTitle,
        CAST(c.LastName + ',' + c.FirstName AS VARCHAR(200)),
        CAST ('N/A' AS VARCHAR(200)),
        CAST (0 AS INT)
    FROM HumanResources.Employee e
    INNER JOIN Person.Person c
        ON e.BusinessEntityID = c.BusinessEntityID
        WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = @BusinessEntityID

 UNION ALL
-- Recursive member definition
SELECT  e.BusinessEntityID,e.MaritalStatus,e.JobTitle,
                CAST(c.LastName + ',' + c.FirstName AS VARCHAR(200)),
                CAST ('N/A' AS VARCHAR(200)),
                CAST (0 AS INT)
        FROM HumanResources.Employee e
        INNER JOIN Person.Person c
        ON e.BusinessEntityID = c.BusinessEntityID)
        ORDER BY EmployeeLevel - **NOT WORKING**

       EXEC p_ReturnEmployeeOrg 21)

-- exec is NOT WORKING, the results are raw data instead of BusinessEntityID = 21

A: Did you mean to place the first select statement at the end of the stored procedure? There are three pertinent issues to your stored procedure. Firstly, the CTE's defined but not used in the stored procedure (this is the reason why your sp is returning everything from the employee table). Secondly your exec statement actually cuts through the middle of the CTE definition (I think this might have been formatting error during your posting). The order by statement in the CTE is probably going to cause an error. It's best to move it out of the CTE.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[p_ReturnEmployeeOrg]
( @BusinessEntityID int = 21 )
AS

;WITH cte_Emp (EmployeeID,ManagerID,Title,EmployeeName,ManagerName,EmployeeLevel)
AS
-- Anchor member definition
(SELECT e.BusinessEntityID,e.MaritalStatus,e.JobTitle,
        CAST(c.LastName + ',' + c.FirstName AS VARCHAR(200)),
        CAST ('N/A' AS VARCHAR(200)),
        CAST (0 AS INT)
    FROM HumanResources.Employee e
    INNER JOIN Person.Person c
        ON e.BusinessEntityID = c.BusinessEntityID
        WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = @BusinessEntityID

 UNION ALL
-- Recursive member definition
SELECT  e.BusinessEntityID,e.MaritalStatus,e.JobTitle,
                CAST(c.LastName + ',' + c.FirstName AS VARCHAR(200)),
                CAST ('N/A' AS VARCHAR(200)),
                CAST (0 AS INT)
        FROM HumanResources.Employee e
        INNER JOIN Person.Person c
        ON e.BusinessEntityID = c.BusinessEntityID)
)
SELECT * FROM cte_emp ORDER BY EmployeeLevel
--....................

EXEC p_ReturnEmployeeOrg 21

I moved the select statement down just after the end of the CTE definition and changed the table name from employee to cte_emp. I alos moved your exec statement out of the CTE defintion.
However there are other non-pertinent issues with this. As mentioned by RichardTheKiwi, why is it that you have e.maritalstatus in the CTE definition, but ManagerID in the CTE header? Is businessentityid in the CTE definition meant to be the employeeid in the CTE header?

Precision Marketing Has a Critical Role to Play in Making Precision Medicine a Reality
With the early success of their All of Us research program, the National Institutes of Health are well on their way to ushering in an era of precision medicine. Precision marketing will play a critical role in helping this become a commercial reality.
As a 2015 report produced by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) highlights, "The surest path to advancing prevention and treatment of disease has been the detailed understanding of the factors that contribute to health and disease in individual patients."
And yet, as things stand, the majority of medical treatments — especially pharmacological ones — are developed through clinical trials that largely gauge success and failure based on averages, on how a "typical patient" might benefit from a new drug or device. Granted, this approach does deliver a net benefit — FDA approval would be nowhere to be found if it did not — but as the PMI report points out, there is clearly an opportunity to do better.
Depending on their unique amalgam of disease pathophysiology, environmental exposures, and social, behavioral, and genetic factors, any given patient may experience an adverse outcome as a result of taking a drug that produces positive outcomes for most other patients. Aside from working with a sample size of one — which, needless to say, would be prohibitively impractical — there is no way for clinical researchers to eliminate this unpredictability entirely.
That said, the rise of precision medicine has given clinical researchers and healthcare providers a powerful new tool with which to fine-tune the development and administration of targeted medical treatments. Insofar as it will enable the medical community at large to minimize patient-specific adverse effects, the proliferation of precision medicine has the potential to help improve the net outcomes achieved by nearly every medical treatment.
The promise of precision medicine
The underlying principle of precision medicine — namely, the importance of taking patients' unique profiles into account — has been informing medical practice for at least a century (think: relying on blood typing to guide blood transfusions). Until recently, however, overcoming the oxymoronicism of "broad-based precision medicine" has been effectively impossible.
Encouragingly, this impossibility has begun to fade away as scientific advances like human genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics and technological advances like machine learning-driven big data analytics have created the conditions of possibility for precision medicine at scale.
Early efforts to incorporate cutting-edge science and technology into precision medicine frameworks have resulted in the development of highly targeted cancer and cystic fibrosis treatments, a more comprehensive understanding of specific patient groups' hypersensitivities to certain drugs, and even the ability to diagnose previously undiagnosable genetic diseases.
And while these efforts have provided an exciting glimpse of what may well be the future of healthcare, precision medicine remains the exception, not the rule. Accelerating the maturation and adoption of precision medicine will require fostering cross-sector buy-in, planning (and funding) additional research, and increasing a wide variety of stakeholders' access to accurate, comprehensive patient data.
NIH introduces All of Us
As one of the key components of PMI, NIH's All of Us research program is taking meaningful steps to address the data access imperative. After a PMI working group developed a framework for All of Us in 2015, NIH began assembling a nationwide consortium of partners capable of supporting the program's ultimate goal:
[Building a cohort of] one million or more volunteers living in the U.S. [who will] contribute their health data over many years to improve health outcomes, fuel the development of new treatments for disease, and catalyze a new era of evidence-based and more precise preventative care and medical treatment.
Prior to opening enrollment to the general public in May 2018, PMI enrolled over 25,000 beta-testers in the program. These early participants had their physical measurements taken, provided blood and urine samples for whole genome sequencing, agreed to share their electronic health records, and completed a series of surveys featuring questions about their lifestyle ("Do you have breakfast every morning?"), genetics ("Do you look like your mother?"), and environment ("Do you live near public transportation?").
As of this past May, over 230,000 people had started the process of enrolling in All of Us, some 142,000 of whom had completed the full protocol established by the beta-testers. With the goal of gathering enough data to start sequencing one million whole genomes by 2023, the pace set by the program's first year of open enrollment leaves All of Us well-positioned to, at the very least, get close to hitting its target.
Laying the groundwork for the diversification of clinical research
However, the greatest triumph of All of Us' first trip around the sun was not the sheer volume of enrollees it attracted, but the kinds of enrollees it attracted. The program has made a point of striving for a cohort that "reflect[s] the rich diversity of America, including volunteers of many races and ethnicities, age groups, geographic regions, gender identities, sexual orientations, and health statuses."
Patient pools for clinical trials have traditionally skewed white, male, and affluent, making the "typical patient" even less representative of the general public than statistical averages would dictate. As such, as University of Arizona Health Sciences Associate VP for Diversity and Inclusion Dr. Francisco Moreno explains, "There are a number of gaps in our understanding of risk factors [and] treatment responses…for specific populations. As the diversity of…the United States continues to increase, our assumptions about what may work for the general population become more and more challenged."
These "gaps in understanding" to which Dr. Moreno refers can have serious consequences. For instance, as a result of being characterized as "a man's disease" for most of the history of modern medicine, cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to go underdiagnosed in American women — this despite the fact that women represented 51 percent of the CVD-related fatalities recorded by the American Heart Association in 2011. Unfortunately, the source of this imbalance is no mystery: while men and women manifest different CVD symptomatologies, the majority of CVD research is conducted on men. Consequently, many women do not experience "typical" symptoms when going into cardiac arrest, and thus go undiagnosed for far too long.
The fact that 80 percent of All of Us enrollees come from backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in medical research — low-income individuals, individuals of color, individuals from predominantly rural states — is an achievement unto itself, but if researchers are able to leverage this unprecedentedly diverse data into real breakthroughs in precision medicine, we may be on the brink of a truly profound medical revolution.
Precision medicine demands precision marketing
There is absolutely no question that initiatives like All of Us will serve as the cornerstones of any precision medicine revolution, but it bears pointing out that bringing such a revolution to fruition will require contributions from stakeholders across the healthcare spectrum — healthcare marketers included.
As healthcare marketers, our foremost responsibility is facilitating the delivery of the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. Until recent years, the majority of pharmaceutical treatments demanded only that our campaign targeting get close. Even in 2019, few treatments are tailored to specific combinations of disease pathophysiologies, environmental exposures, and social, behavioral, and genetic factors, meaning broad-based marketing approaches have continued to be economically viable — and a key tool in healthcare marketers' arsenals. But while the exceptions to this rule are rare — think: precision oncology and rare disease treatment — they are quite instructive as to how the healthcare marketing industry as a whole should be preparing for the dawn of the precision medicine era.
For instance, a manufacturer of a rare disease treatment can rarely rely on broad-based television ads to market its product — doing so would be tantamount to using a hammer for a job that calls for a scalpel. The number of patients to whom this manufacturer's drug is relevant is incredibly small, and the chances that enough of these patients are watching television at any given time are so remote that achieving a satisfactory ROI on television ads would be effectively impossible.
In truth, the best practices for designing and executing marketing campaigns for drugs with minute patient groups are still very much in development — and are constantly being refined. Variants of artificial intelligence like predictive analytics and machine learning and robust measurement and optimization approaches driven by data on real-world outcomes have cleared a path forward, but it now falls to the vanguard of data-driven healthcare marketers to lay down pavement upon which the rest of the industry can follow.
It is hardly hyperbolic to say that the ultimate success of All of Us and other initiatives like it will hinge on the dexterity with which we as healthcare marketers are able to wield these cutting-edge technologies. The reality is that even the most precisely tailored medical treatment will never be economically viable — and thus will never deliver on its full promise — unless the right patients and healthcare providers are made aware of it in a timely way.
Society at large stands to benefit immensely from the maturation of precision medicine, but any pharmaceutical company planning on operating in this emerging space must accept that status quo marketing will soon no longer be sufficient. Precision medicine demands precision marketing, and it is incumbent upon all of us to work together to build the scientific, technological, and social infrastructure necessary to produce the best possible health outcomes for every American.

I just attended a 3 day event with Network Together. It was absolutely awesome! This was not your average rah, rah cheer leading, hype you all up event. The speakers offered real "meat and potatoes" constructive information that you can sink your teeth into. On the networking with other business owners aspect; I have lived in 16 different states and 12 different cities in California and have been a part of dozens of networking groups. This is the first networking group I have seen that does REAL networking. It is not just a group of business owners referring leads to each other. The members really care about helping each other to grow their businesses and it is as much about giving to the group as it is about getting value from it. I attended this event as a guest but I am definitely joining as a member. If you have a business that you want to grow, I encourage you to attend one of Network Together's events and check it out for yourself.

Home News Nervous giant octopus attacks tourist trying to film it
Nervous giant octopus attacks tourist trying to film it
A beach scene posted on Instagram on Friday (2) has caught the attention of international media and people around the world: a video, captured by an Australian geologist on vacation with his family, shows a giant octopus that, irritated by being filmed, he decides to slap the boring cameraman.
The incident happened last month (18), when 34-year-old Lance Karlson was with his wife and daughter on a beach in Dunsborough, Australia, when he spotted the octopus in the shallow waters, according to The New York Times. With his two-year-old daughter in one hand and his cell phone in the other, he ran to register the ecological encounter.
But it didn't happen: the mollusk, which seemed not to be on a good day, went on top of the pair and dealt blows as if they were punches towards Karlson. He moved away quickly, while the attacking tentacles creaked in the air. "Oh, my God!" Said the frightened father, protecting his baby.
Nervous octopus 2: the return
With a yellow smile on his lips, Karlson went back to the tent, left his daughter with his wife, put on his diving goggles, took a snorkel and dived about 20 minutes after the attack. About 30 meters ahead, he noticed a pile of clam shells that, according to a lesson learned by the diver in a documentary, is a way in which octopuses mark their territory.
Suddenly, lapt! Lance received a tremendous lash on his arm, and another on his neck, and a third on his upper back. The water darkened, his glasses fogged up, and the diver returned dizzy to the beach without knowing who had slapped him. He swears it was the octopus.
However, an octopus researcher at the University of Oregon, USA, does not agree with the geologist and claims that his marks are compatible with attacks by jellyfish, and that octopuses have no poison in their suction cups.

Belt and Road Initiative an 'experimental field' for China-Japan cooperation
By Zhang Xinyue

2105km to Beijing
The Belt and Road Initiative can be the "experimental field" for mutually beneficial cooperation and development between China and Japan, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying on Tuesday at a regular press conference.
Hua said China has been working with countries along the Belt and Road in building a just, reasonable and transparent international trade and investment rules-based system. Based on such principles, China has been cooperating with many countries and implementing comprehensive projects in multiple fields.
Hua also noted that the Belt and Road Initiative is an open and inclusive development platform, which is beneficial to the world, including Japan.
"We welcome Japan to negotiate with China to cooperate with us over the Belt and Road Initiative. We also hope that Japan can truly implement the will of improving bilateral relations," Hua said.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at a forum in Tokyo on Monday that Japan is willing to cooperate with China on the Belt and Road Initiative on certain conditions.
Abe praised the initiative's "potential to connect the East and West as well as the diverse regions found in between." It's the second time Abe has declared his position on the cross-continental infrastructure scheme.
During last month's Belt and Road Forum in Beijing, Abe said Japan would join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank if environmental concerns and other problems were resolved.

Montreal to Kyoto
The Montreal Protocol was a success. The Kyoto Protocol so far has been a failure.
Until recently, climate change caused by buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the hole in the ozone layer caused by chemicals used for refrigeration were two different problems.
Stratospheric ozone protects living things from harmful solar radiation, and in 1985 the international community came together under the Montreal Protocol to phase out CFCs that depleted the ozone shield. The Montreal Protocol is one of the most sucessful international treaties because it replaced CFCs with the ozone-friendly HCFCs. The ozone hole over Antarctica is now shrinking.
The Kyoto Protocol, on the other hand, tried in 1997 to get countries to reduce carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels that causes global warming. This treaty has been a dismal failure. The effect of global warming on the earth's climate is far worse than previously thought.
Although the Montreal Protocol was a success and the Kyoto Protocol so far has been a failure, the problems of atmospheric ozone depltion and the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have now combined to become one.
The HCFCs that replaced CFCs in fridges and air-cons may be ozone friendly, but they are 2,000 times more potent greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. Which means that increasingly affluent people in China and India are buying more and more and more cooling appliances, burning more energy and leaking more HCFCs into the atmosphere. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that if HCFCs are not phased out, by 2030 its contribution to global warming will be a quarter of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
Nepal is a signatory to the Montreal Protocol and, as a developing country, was allowed to use some CFC until the complete ban went into force in 2010. Nepal is now also required to phase out HCFCs, too, by 2030. "We are working to ban the import of HCFC based appliances and reduce the quota of HCFC import in the first phase," says Shailendra Kumar Jha, National Ozone Officer at the National Bureau of Standards and Metrology that works with UNEP on HCFC phaseout.
In 2004 the government set the HCFC import quota at 23.3 metric tons, and now wants to bring it down by 10 per cent in the next three years. However, there is a danger that HCFC will still be smuggled into Nepal across the border from India to meet demand.
In 2012 Nepal worked with UNEP to destroy a stockpile of 74 tons of smuggled CFC seized by customs at the Indo-Nepal border in 2000. The California-based EOS Climate shipped out the chemicals and destroyed it, sharing carbon credits earned with the Nepal government to help fund additional training and awareness about responsible refrigerant management and appliance recycling.

Former NFL Star Says He Saw FBI Arrest Roger Stone
The Trump advisor was indicted by Robert Mueller, and former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson says he was there as his neighbor got nabbed by the feds.
Jan 25 2019, 5:46pm
Photos by Jim Lo Scalzo (L) and Mark Lyons (R)—EPA
Former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson claims he had quite the start to his day. The artist formerly known as Ochocinco says he was just out on his morning jog today when he stumbled upon his "neighbor Roger" getting arrested:
This is all fine and well—we've all seen our neighbor Roger get arrested before—but there was a very famous Roger who was also arrested this morning Fort Lauderdale, a Roger that happens to be one of Donald Trump's top informal advisors.
Roger Stone lives in the ritzy finger islands of Ft. Lauderdale, and Johnson also lives in the Fort Lauderdale area, so it seems very likely that Chad's "neighbor Roger" is in fact Stone.
Stone's arrest comes after an indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller for Stone's communication with WikiLeaks, who released thousands of Democratic emails in the run-up to the 2016 election. He is being charged with seven counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements, and witness tampering, according to Mueller's office.
Stone began his career as an aide to Richard Nixon, and even has a tattoo of the disgraced president on his back. Stone maintains his innocence and the White House is denying any connection between Trump and Stone's charges.
This is likely what Johnson saw (or at least the aftermath of it):
Seems like Chad has a pretty early morning jog, as you can tell by the pitch-darkness. The FBI often conducts arrests at odd hours, so as to prevent a flight risk. Wild day in Mr. Roger's neighborhood.

Don Murphy's Angryfilms has optioned "Little Brother," the young-adult novel by sci-fi author and blogger Cory Doctorow, with the aim of translating it to the big screen.
"Brother," a play on Big Brother of George Orwell fame, centers on a high school senior who, after a terrorist attack blows up San Francisco's Bay Bridge, becomes swept up in the extralegal world of Homeland Security. After he and his friends are interrogated and tortured, he is released into a city that is under total surveillance. The teen leads an Internet-fueled rebellion to rescue his friends and free the city.
The book tackles many themes, including civil liberties and social activism, that are close to the heart of Doctorow, a Canadian advocate of liberalizing copyright laws. Despite his offering the book for free on the Internet, "Brother" still hit best-seller charts, boosted by stellar reviews and recommendations from authors including Neil Gaiman.
Doctorow, who co-edits the blog BoingBoing.net, also wrote the novel "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom."
Murphy and his Angryfilms partner Susan Montford, who are producing, are out to writers and directors.
Angryfilms is in preproduction on "Real Steel," which is heading for a June start, and "Transformers 3," which is eyeing a May start.


Following are the texts of two broadcast advertisements dealing with a Washington state ballot initiative to ban state affirmative action programs. The former was prepared for radio by the American Civil Rights Institute, which supports the initiative; the latter for television by No! 200, which opposes the ban.
CHILDREN IN CLASSROOM -- I pledge allegiance to the flag.
LITTLE GIRL -- Does it matter what color someone is?
CHILDREN -- With liberty and justice for all.
LITTLE GIRL -- Should it matter?
WOMAN -- Voting yes on I-200 would prohibit the State of Washngton from giving someone a job, a place in a school or government contract based on the color of that person's skin.
MAN -- Voting no means the State of Washington could continue to give someone a job, a place in a school or a government contract based on the color of that person's skin.
WOMAN -- Today affirmative action itself can discriminate.
LITTLE GIRL -- What does I-200 say?
MAN -- I-200 says our government cannot discriminate.
WOMAN -- In government jobs, schools or contracts.
MAN -- I-200 says no preferences.
GIRL -- What would I-200 mean?
MAN -- I-200 means that affirmative action could reach out with opportunity.
WOMAN -- But not keep out with quotas.
MAN -- We in the Evergreen State believe in equal opportunity.
LITTLE GIRL -- Bringing us together.
MAN -- An educational message paid for by the nonpartisan American Civil Rights Institute.
But there's an issue we face that's just to important.
Initiative 200 is written to sound good, but it's misleading and full of hidden consequences.
It will abolish affirmation action and hurt real people.
It will roll back the progress women have made in getting equal pay for equal work.
And it will lead to expensive lawsuits that waste our tax dollars.
It goes too fare and hurts our state.
FEMALE ANNOUNCER -- Paid for by No! 200.

Australia's worst Clergy Pedophiles
St Stanislaus College - Bathurst, NSW
The Real College - The Real Bathurst
A Royal Commission is needed into BATHURST - This is why.
I would like to introduce you to ALL HALLOWS CONVENT AND BOARDING SCHOOL FOR PRIMARY CHILDREN. The Sisters of Mercy. This is one of the places in BATHURST that is in the very HUSH HUSH category and to find out much history from this place is not easy. I had a family member that was sent there. That was the late 50's, early 60's. The Sisters have there own stories of what happened to them by the priests and what happened to the children. The link below just shows the Rev. Father King, CM. (President, St. Stanislaus' College), Rev. Father W. Cantwell, CM. (St. Stanislaus'), and Rev. Father E. Murphy (Cathedral) linked to All Hallows and so forth. The date on this is 29 December 1938.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/104368217
Just speak to the aboriginal community there, it was there land until it was taken/stolen from them. They were beaten, raped, children went missing, never to be seen again. There land stolen. This is the real Bathurst. This is the real Catholic College.
From here we can establish written links from St Stanislaus College to Maitland (Hunter Valley), Sydney and then networks established and priests were moved from parish to parish all the time sexually abusing Children and worse if you could imagine that. Children were used in rituals, all in the name of God.
Then comes the Mt Panorama act that made sure the aboriginal community would never get there land back. The sad part of this is the land was sold a few years ago and instead of going to the original owners that had there land stolen, the Aboriginal community. The Mt Panorama act back in the 80's sealed there fate.
"Unbeknown to the local Aboriginal community, in 1984 a deed of trust was drawn up and placed in the hands of the Aboriginal Develop-ment Commission".
We all know the corruption in the government in the 70's & 80's and how corrupt the NSW Police were then as well. It's now well documented. Movies and TV shows have been made about it and it is still going on today. The brotherhood. Bill Hefernan named the Prime Minister believed to be involved in Parliament, under privilege. Many already knew and some know of a lot more. Just search google. Is the cover up becoming more clear now?
"Instead of putting all their resources into establishing the ownership of All Hallows and following the Dominican Sisters' wishes, they did everything in their power to invalidate Bathurst Aboriginal community ownership, leading them to sell All Hallows, without any compensation to the Aboriginal community," Mr Crawford said.
You thought all this ended and the Aboriginal people were treated as equal now, not In Bathurst. No, they didn't even try to offer to compensate them.
The power and money that the Vincentians (St Stanislaus College) have in Bathurst and beyond is what they do not want you to know about.

This is suppose to be a Church of God remember.
With the murderous and devious history of the Catholic Church, I guess anything is possible. I am going to publish some writings soon that will show you all that this is nothing but a criminal gang under the definition of the Australian government and Australian law so how come there are different rules for different people and/or organisations. Not one law at all. So how are they allowed to flourish and not even pay taxes. They will lie, cheat and steal in the name of God. That's how its justified and support by it's followers. The sheep that pray to there imaginary friends. In psych terms they have many names for that condition.
What a crock of sh%t!
The first time in Australia's history a convicted criminal has had a judge give a National media ban over the conviction. Yes, there are other cases but it is the only one ever given this treatment. Why, a criminal is a criminal.
This is the ignorance of our legal system thinking we are all stupid and to block out coverage. This is only because this person is/was a Cardinal in the Catholic Church that the legal system have been so supportive of and they do support the Church. Through out all the years of proceedings against clergy, just look at the sentencing between a clergy pedophile and a pedophile that has no links to the Church. The treatment is very different.
There is no place in our legal system for religion but they start the legal year with a mass. They start parliament year with prayer sessions. How offensive can one be, no thought at all. The PM made apologies to the victims in the National apology to Institutional Child Sex Abuse, made crocodile tears for the cameras but all along praising God. Then to start the Parliament year of with a prayer sessions, shows there has been no progress just words for cameras to make a show and look like they take it seriously. Meanwhile you have the deals made behind the cameras.
What hope does someone have to find justice. There is NO HOPE you just have to dig in and say what you did was wrong. You took my life away. I will never have a relationship, my first ever sexual experience was taken by a priest and so much more and that's not right you can never give that back.
What if it happened to your child, your family members then would you want justice?
I am not that little boy anymore.
I am no longer a victim of yours.
I survived and your responsible for your actions.
The boy is now a man who strives for justice.
I have taken that back, and that's the strongest feeling i have felt in a long time.
I am still in legal processes.
It has been 12 years and could be up to 15 at this stage, this is my fight for justice and it has now consumed my whole life now. There is no real reason that this drags out like its does, its "just the system". There system is broken and has been for a long time. Also known as the Catholic system. If we had access to the Wood Commissions finding then lives of so many would of been different. It was all locked up and concealed. Why? Who was and is involved? The reality is most people know now and in this day and age of information ignorance is a choice.
There is something I would like to introduce you too. It's called the Internet and it goes by the letter's WWW and that means World Wide Web and that means it is linked world wide and if overseas media publish then they will link it to Australia. You cannot keep trying to cover up the extent of the clergy pedophilia especially throughout Bathurst with links to Maitland, Sydney, Wollongong, Ballarat and it just keeps going.
The Royal Commission do know all of this because I it was in my statements that were submitted at the beginning.
There is no redress scheme, its on paper but that's is where it stayed. I tried. I tested it. Not one response back.
So now, just in this post we have links dating back to 1938 with All Hallows. We have convicted priests, Brothers, Teachers, Laymen from St Stanislaus College, Bathurst from the 60's to the 1990's then further back. Don't forget the College celebrated there 150 year anniversary a few years ago.
Spillane told one of his victims, aged 13, that he had the devil in him and purported to perform an "exorcism" on him by masturbating him.
"It is unlikely that there was not one person at St Stanislaus' that had not noticed what this offender had been doing for almost 20 years," Judge Tupman said
He gave another of his victim, aged 15, medication to make him drowsy before he sexually abused him. Spillane was the school's dean of discipline when he raped another 15-year-old boy.
Then when children tried to speak up this happens and more A St Stanislaus College, Bathurst Brother caned a boy who tried to report being sexually abused There are many examples of this. This is just one priest at the College. There is around 16 that have been charged and then 3 got of on technicalities. One of them was the President of the College at the time.
Given all this why haven't the Vincentians been investigated for covering up and concealing child sex and ritual abuse.
There is no answer for that.
The reality is there are many Parish leaders or Orders as they like to be called that are currently on charges or have been charged for concealing/hiding clergy pedophilia and ritual abuse.
We have already established links to Maitland and Hunter Valley and we all know what has happened in Newcastle with Archbishop Phillip Wilson, later the courts overturned on appeal. There have been other convictions with a higher ranking Catholic then an archbishop just recently.
The national media ban.
The national disgrace more like it.
Now we have courts telling the people what they can say after a conviction. That's a big call.
In 2017 the 150 years of St Stanislaus College in Bathurst but was also the end of the Sister of Mercy after 150 years.
This is the Catholic cover up.
This is the Catholic Church.
