Leverage Leadership: A new paradigm for further educationhe purpose of this article is to review existing models of leverage leadership which are currentlyapplicable to schools to establish whether they are appropriate for further education colleges. Due to the complexities of the environment in which further education colleges operate and the scale of the organisations involved, models of leverage leadership have not currently been applied to this sector. The paper proposes that a new model Distributed Leverage Leadership is more suitable to further education colleges. Unlike existing models which are predicated on the head of the organisation adopting the principles of leverage leadership, Distributed Leverage Leadership suggests a shared responsibility between senior and middle leaders. The model is predicated on a notion of forensic analysis of data, regular observations of learning, building a culture of high expectations and accountability.
Leverage Leadership: Lessons from further educationThe purpose of this article is to review the models of leverage leadership which are currently available in the compulsory sector to establish whether the models are appropriate for post compulsory education, and in particular for general further education colleges. In addition the article explores how a further education institution has gone about implementing leverage leadership. The article does this through a series of semi-structured interviews with senior and middle leaders and teachers on the aspects that they have implemented. Due to the complexities of the environment in which further education colleges operate, models of leverage leadership have not yet been extensively applied to this sector. What was derived was the emphasis of leverage leadership has been placed on a shift in approach to seeking assurances around the quality of teaching, learning and assessment. Moreso, then the use of data, which the institution in this article recognises that they are still some way of achieving, within the spirit of the proposed model.
Living and learning through song.autoethnography is concerned with the tension between innovation and tradition in the craft of songwriting and the learning this allows for. It is formed by two parts; the following written thesis and a choral song entitled 'The Walk to Kitty's Stone'. The work draws upon my own experiences whilst writing this song and qualitative data obtained through recorded discussions with other songwriters, with whom I am part of a folk group called 'the loose kites'. The thesis is structured and viewed through a folkloristic lens. Bausinger's work and his concepts of the spatial, temporal and social horizons expanding provide this lens and offer a theoretical framework for folk culture in the digital world to be investigated. Two research methods of songwriting are used within this framework to consider the learning that occurs. The first method allows for an expression of a psychogeographical understanding using a machine called a 'Perambulographer' which enabled me to draw graphic scores for composition while walking. The second method was an exercise in ekphrastic lyric writing. Learning is considered in terms of informal education, and music pedagogy and as such builds upon Green's research. The key interpretations from the research highlight notions of authenticity, respect, political awareness and democratic values as significant features of songwriting. This study does not offer any new pedagogy but instead highlights how songwriting as 'craft-based practice as research' might offer an opportunity for songwriters to appreciate the relationships and values that they embody in their practice, specifically with regards to their own identity, when teaching. The work proposes that a songwriter's home and folk culture has a significant influence on their identity and how they write songs. The main advance in practice is the development of a theory of 'be-longing' underpinning the advocacy of a folkloristic disposition in the context of education.
Making and Relational Creativity: An exploration of relationships that arise through creative practices in informal making spacesThis thesis investigates the connections between making and relational creativity, exploring relationships that arise through creative practices in informal making spaces. As the researcher, my background is that of both artist and educator, and I combine both roles to work alongside students within the space. The aims of the study are to explore the impact such spaces have on teachers professional relationships with students together with the impact on student relationships. In addition, the research also aims to address the implications of informal making spaces for the school curriculum in England. The research is centred around the A/R/Tography Collective, a making space created to allow students the opportunity to meet and create after school outside of lesson time. The research builds on the democratic learning practices of Room 13 and Reggio Emilia models of learning. Using a qualitative approach within a narrative paradigm in the form of case study, I work alongside students within the field. By employing an immersive approach where field notes were written up retrospectively and reflected upon, I have been able to offer a holistic and balanced account of both my own and participant experiences, exposing the complexities and problematic nature of creative practices emerging outside of the curriculum framework. My findings reveal that by deconstructing traditional pedagogical frameworks, the lived experiences of students are revealed through the process of making, providing a unique insight into their lives. The findings suggest that the current art and design curriculum in England is not meeting the needs of students, and recommends the value of making spaces that exist outside of the curriculum framework to enhance learner experience. The research recommends that by allowing students freedom of expression within curriculum time, relationships between students and teacher are developed and strengthened. This in turn positively impacts on student performance within curriculum time. The research recommends the need for educators to inhabit a more holistic role, to tailor their pedagogy to meet the individual, ever changing needs of students.

Mentoring Associate Teachers in Initial Teacher Education: The Value of Dialogic FeedbackPurpose - The aim of this paper is to analyse feedback in the context of secondary initial teacher education (ITE) in England. More specifically, it aims to examine the feedback experiences of physical education (PE) subject mentors and their associate teachers (ATs) during a one-year postgraduate programme. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews, with nine PE mentors and eleven ATs within a university ITE partnership, were used to explore lesson feedback and the context in which it was provided. Interview data from the twenty participants was analysed through constant comparison to categorise content and identify patterns of responses. Findings - Mentors were well versed in the formal feedback mechanism of a written lesson observation. This approach is well established and accepted within ITE, but the dialogic feedback that follows lessons was thought to be where ATs made most progress. These learning conversations were seen to provide less formal but more authentic feedback for those learning to teach, and were most successful when founded on positive and collaborative relationships between the mentor and the ATs. Practical implications - These findings have implications for providers of teacher education and more specifically how they approach mentor training. The focus on lesson observations has value, but examining more informal dialogic approaches to feedback may have more impact on the learning of ATs. Originality/value - These findings support the value of lesson feedback but challenge the primacy of formal written lesson observations. The learning conversations that follow lessons are shown to provide authentic feedback for ATs.

Mormon-Evangelical dialogue - Setting the ground rules: A way forwardThis journal article discusses the various polemic and polite exchanges between Evagelicals and Latter-day Saints.It suggests that these exchanges are asking the wrong questions and beginning from an incorrect basis in relation to inter-faith relationships.
Notes towards a Nietzschean pedagogy of the cityPhilosophical assumptions about identity, being and belonging have, as is well know, historically been bound together; their classical nexus being Plato's Socrates, who because of this figures as the first philosopher of the city. Especially during moments of crisis, the impulse, both philosophically and politically, even today, is to make abject those who appear not to conform to the appropriate ideal identity of what ought to be. In the first part of our paper we consider the philosophical logic of this pedagogy of the city and its cultural context and implications; and in the second part, we demonstrate this pedagogy of the city as a practice, using ethnographic data derived from a study of a homeless couple and their struggle to become a family amidst the homeless community within which they live.
Olympic dreams and social realities: A Foucauldian analysis of legacy and mass participationThis articles discusses the London 2012 legacy claim relating to increased activity levels and sports participation. A range of factors which appear to militate against its achievement are discussed. Drawing on data from a recent ESRC-funded research project, the authors demonstrate how this has resulted in a culture of fear and corrosive mistrust, which can only reduce grassroots willingness to take up sports, and the effectiveness and commitment of the coaches required to support it.
On the margins: the last place to rebel? Understanding young people's resistance to social conformityYoung people have for decades been the subject of repeated 'moral panics' (Cohen, 2002) in western society. From the troubles of the 'teenager' in the early post-war period; the mods and rockers of the sixties; the anarchic punk sub-culture of the seventies through to the most recent manifestation of moral panic – the NEET (not in employment, education or training), there is an apparent tension in the simultaneous empowerment and subjugation of young people that manifests through discourses of children's rights, voice and participation, alongside competing discourses of failure, risk and problematisation. The media portrayal that fuels the moral panic of unruly and out-of-control young people presents an idea that these young people are both frightening to ordinary members of society, and each other (The Independent, 2009), and has extended to the "disruptive use of public space" by young people (Robinson, 2009, p510). In a society framed by risk and austerity-driven reduced life chances for many, anti-social behaviour and disengaged, marginalised youth is fast becoming the norm. In contrast, recent policy trajectories have foregrounded the rights of young people in all areas of policy (McKay, 2014), promoting a more hopeful view of young people as active citizens, participating in civil society, their rights supported through Article 12 of the UN Charter for the Rights of the Child [UNCRC] (UNESCO 1989). Each of these viewpoints has its own literature, its own discourse. Each considers the lives of young people as largely homogenous; seen through whatever policy lens is selected for any given social crisis. By contrast, this chapter considers the way that young people themselves understand and view their position in relation to their social environment, and offers an illustration of the complex and often unintended ways that young people are marginalised in everyday life. Marginalisation is therefore considered, not as an end-product of social dysfunction, rather it emerges as a process by which the young people themselves may negotiate their position in different social situations in order to effect autonomy and self-determination, even within the smallest and most mundane activities. Drawing on the psychological theory of Erikson (1972), we consider what Erikson refers to as the "leeway of mastery in a set of developments or circumstances" which suggested "free movement within prescribed limits" (p.691). A literal translation being space of, or space for, play; what the rules of the game allow. The concept of social play is an important feature of Erikson's work and relates to the fifth stage of psycho-social development; adolescence. The importance of play in the early years is a well-rehearsed discussion; however, the concept of play in the transition stage from childhood to adulthood, adolescence, provokes a re-consideration of the ways that young people explore and learn about themselves and their world. We consider freedom and autonomy for the young person to follow their own particular motivations, yet within 'prescribed limits'. The chapter explores how space is negotiated and at particular points of intersection, potential conflict is tempered to maintain the freedom which boundary spaces may offer. It considers the important role of resistance at places of intersection, where the desire to define a new liberty, a free space (Robinson, 2010) is bargained, for as she suggests, "leisure practices can…. Involve opposition, resistance and transgression" (p.508), and these are the key emerging elements of the young people's social play that we examine.
The Out-of-School Creative Practice of an Art TeacherThis research aims to give a greater understanding of the impact my teaching role has on my creative practice as a self-portrait photographer. This aim has been researched and explored using self-portrait photography and personal experiences in and outside of the classroom. Using the street photographer Vivian Maier as inspiration, I have reflected on how using the techniques of another practitioner could influence my practice and teaching. Pursuant to this, I have produced a portfolio of Street and Home Life selfportraits. With the application of auto-ethnographic research methods and a/r/tography approaches, I explored the tensions and parallels within my creative practice and my role as a researcher and teacher. As a photographer, researcher and teacher, I have found that each of these roles and identities are intertwined and interlinked such that it is impossible to separate them. I found that my creativity does not generally follow a journey from initial starting point to final piece and taking photographs in the style of another photographer limited the generation of my own ideas. Therefore, as a result of my research, I propose that there are two types of art, school art and creative practitioner art. The former follows a set of rules and criteria and is primarily assessed on the merit of the pupil's skill level by the schools' examination board. The latter can be organic and sometimes stilted in its creation, but judged by either art critics or purchasers of the art practice.
Participation as governmentality? The effect of disciplinary technologies at the interface of service users and providers, families and the stateThis article examines the concept of participation in relation to a range of recently imposed social and education policies. The authors discuss how disciplinary technologies, including government policy, operate at the interface of service users and providers, and examine the interactional aspects of participation where the shift from abstract to applied policy creates tensions between notions of parental responsibility and empowerment, participation and 'positive welfare'. Three important issues/questions are raised: whether existing mechanisms for engagement between service users and service providers enable any meaningful participation and partnership in decision-making; whether multi-agency service provision is successfully incorporated within a participatory framework that allows service users to engage across and within services; and whether on the basis of our findings, there is requirement to remodel mechanisms for participation to enable user-experiences the opportunity to shape the way that services engage with families.
Partnerships in a global dimensions specialism on a BEd primary programmeThis book chapter discusses the 'Global Dimensions' specialism, which is key component of the four-year primary undergraduate initial teacher training programme at the University of Chester.
Philosophy, qualitative methodology and sports coaching research: An unlikely trinity?This article presents a critical account of the relation and unlikely trinity of philosophy, qualitative methodology and sports coaching research, in order to challenge assumptions about the nature of qualitative data analysis. A more radical departure and critique from a philosophical-hermeneutic perspective is encouraged. The key argument presented is that qualitative data analysis should have less to do with 'method' and more with philosophy, where 'practical reasoning' forges a dialectical relation between the intellectual and practical in the analytical process. This argument is illustrated with reference to published empirical work in the field of sports coaching research.
Physical education and the global dimensionThis book chapter discusses PE activities in primary school.
Playing with EkphrasisInspired by Walter Benjamins response to a painting by Klee, 'Playing with Ekphrasis' is an anthology that deals with the tensions between community and identity. Using photographs of nature I've taken throughout my life, each exhibited photograph has an accompanying QR code so the viewer can also hear the poem. There is also a publication that embodies all of this process.
Post-conflict identity crisis in Nepal: Implications for educational reformsThis article discusses tensions of national identity, as played out in the evolving context of post-accord transitional politics in Nepal. The rise of ethnic politics following the peace agreement in 2006 has ruptured the notion of unified national identity. Educational reconstruction must deal with the notion of identity as part of a measured process to correct the legacy of ethnic, linguistic and caste-based marginalisation in Nepal.
Premature labour? A reflexive appraisal of one young teacher's journey into first time motherhood and her return to teaching.This Ethnographic/Autoethnographic study reflects in rich detail a young teacher's life as she navigates the changing landscape of her first pregnancy, the birth of her child and her subsequent return to work as a full-time teacher. Using data which has been collected from a personal journal which she kept throughout the eighteen month period of the study, it examines the practical and emotional challenges which she faced, and the commitment, self-sacrifice and dedication required of her for the continuation and advancement of her career. By combining her data with observed field notes, semi-constructed interviews and reflexive narrative, I have been able to offer a holistic and balanced account of her experience and expose the complexities of motherhood today and the impact they have on a woman's life choices and professional decision making. My study revealed how this new mother faced a myriad of decisions and dilemmas, decisions, which ultimately impacted on her emotional well-being, and her power and identity as a woman, a wife, a daughter and a professional teacher. Its findings suggest that notwithstanding the historical political and legislative policies which have been implemented, in reality, little has changed since my own experience of being a working mother some thirty years ago. It recommends that if the increase in working mothers is to continue to rise, more must be done, both culturally and institutionally to alleviate the physical and emotional pressures which currently only serve to exacerbate the guilt and stress which appear to be an innate characteristic of the maternal condition. It concludes by recommending that working mothers need to harness "their strengths, their ability to learn, their confidence and joy in their work –[because this is] all part of being a woman now, [it is] part of [their] female identity" (Friedan, 1963, p.331), and rather than accepting motherhood as being a moderating factor, they should allow it to become an influence for further personal and professional growth and liberation, so that they can reassert their power and fight back to assume their equal place in society (Kristeva, 2015).

Aphis gossypii Glover is a major pest of cotton and can severely affect cotton yield and lint quality. In this study, the efficacy of sulfoxaflor applied via drip irrigation and foliar spray on controlling cotton aphids was evaluated in 2016 and 2017 in Xinjiang, China. The distribution of sulfoxaflor in cotton roots, stems, leaves, and aphids, as well as its effects on two natural enemies of aphids, were also investigated. Results showed that sulfoxaflor applied through drip irrigation mainly concentrated in leaves and provided effective control of cotton aphids for 40 days, compared to 20 days when applied through foliar spray. Furthermore, drip application resulted in much lower sulfoxaflor concentrations in aphids than foliar spray. As a result, ladybird beetle and lacewing populations were higher in drip applied plants than in foliar sprayed plants. Additionally, the cost of drip irrigation was lower than foliar spray as cotton plants are commonly irrigated via drip irrigation in Xinjiang. Our results showed that application of sulfoxaflor through drip irrigation is an effective way of controlling cotton aphids in Xinjiang due to a prolonged control period, safety to two natural enemies, and lower cost of application.

Measure would support rural economy by boosting efforts to market hunting and fishing
March 4, 2015
AUGUSTA – Rep. Bob Duchesne, D-Hudson, seeks to promote Maine's outdoor heritage and support the state's rural economy by boosting efforts to market hunting and fishing opportunities.
"Hunting and fishing are critical parts of the rural Maine economy," said Duchesne. "This bill is intended to help the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife improve its ability to market our state's unique sporting opportunities."
The bill, LD 668, which was referred to the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee Tuesday, would create a comprehensive marketing program within the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. It would also require the department to collaborate with the Office of Tourism and the Department of Economic and Community Development to enhance its marketing efforts.
"Promoting outdoor recreation and sporting opportunities is a win-win for rural Maine," said Rep. Michelle Dunphy, D-Old Town, who is cosponsoring the measure. "It gives us the opportunity to grow this crucial economic driver while remaining true to our heritage."
According to studies of the economic impact of recreational hunting and freshwater fishing, resident and non-resident sportsmen contributed a total of more than $6.5 million to the state's economy in 2013 alone. The economic impact is particularly important to the success of rural businesses, including those which benefit directly, like guides and sporting camps, as well as those that benefit indirectly, like restaurants and general stores.
Former director of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine and prominent outdoor writer George Smith urged support of the measure in a recent column, writing: "It's time to market Maine's hunting and fishing and restore the state's reputation as THE place to hunt and fish."
The bill will be scheduled for a public hearing in the coming weeks.
Duchesne is serving his fifth term in the Maine House and represents Alton, Corinth, Hudson, Milford and Argyle Township. He is a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee as well as the Government Oversight Committee.
Dunphy is serving her first term and represents Old Town and Penobscot Indian Island. She is a member of the Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee.

Homebuilders look for warm-weather bounce
Bloomberg News
BOSTON — Homebuilder executives and economists predict a post-Super Bowl bounce in demand for residential construction as Americans turn their attention from football to another national pastime: house hunting.
The chief executives of six of the 10 largest U.S. homebuilders, during conference calls in the last four weeks, cited the potential of a sales comeback in the spring, traditionally their strongest season.
Housing forecasts from Fannie Mae and the Mortgage Bankers Association show the new-home market will begin a rebound that will last through at least 2012.
Record low sales
A revival in demand for new houses after record-low sales in 2010 may bolster an economy that's 19 months into a recovery. Residential construction is a key factor in gross domestic product because it requires the manufacturing of home components such as stoves, cement, tile and furnaces.
Richard DeKaser, an economist at Boston-based Parthenon Group, said he expects the home-building industry will this year make its first positive contribution to GDP since 2005.
"The spring market is going to be the first test of the proposition that there's an underlying improvement in new-home fundamentals," DeKaser said. "If we don't see the needle move, it will be very discouraging."
New-home sales probably will rise 20 percent to 385,000 this year, said David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders in Washington, D.C. Fannie Mae, the world's largest mortgage buyer, projected an 18 percent gain, and the Mortgage Bankers Association estimated a 10 percent advance, according to forecasts posted on their websites.
D.R. Horton, the second-biggest builder by revenue, is "locked and loaded" to meet an upswing in demand, Chief Executive Donald Tomnitz said last month on a conference call. He said he is "anticipating a much better spring-selling season" than last year.
The optimism couldn't have come at a darker moment for the new-home market. The number of newly constructed houses sold per month fell to 20,000 in November, the fewest of any time in 47 years of Commerce Department data.
The tax credit that boosted sales at the start of last year is gone, and cut-rate prices on foreclosures are drawing buyers to existing properties.
Tougher loan requirements by banks may also limit demand. At 2010's end, lenders tightened mortgage-credit standards by the most in three years, according to the Federal Reserve Senior Loan Officer Survey.
Borrowing costs also are on the rise after the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to a record 4.17 percent in November, based on data from Freddie Mac.
Popular time
Spring is a popular time to buy because house hunters often want to have their home finished by July or August, before the start of the school year in September, said John Burns, CEO of John Burns Real Estate Consulting in Irvine, Calif.
The weekend after the Super Bowl is traditionally when prospective buyers start looking, he said.
"If that's a good weekend for the builders, then we're going to have a good spring, and if we have a good spring, we'll have a good year," Burns said. "That's the way it's played out for years."
In 12 of the last 14 years, the annual peak in new-home sales occurred in March or April, according to Commerce Department data.
The Commerce Department counts sales at the time of contract, while homebuilders book revenue once the transaction is completed.
"The contracts the builders will be writing in the next few weekends will be a leading indicator of their closings for later in the year," Burns said. "It's probably going to be a good year — not a great year."

Meanwhile, Zhang Lun hands were starting to become sore from picking up so many congratulatory calls.
Not only fellow directors from the same field, but there were actors and various investors for Fighting Hero too.
Fighting Hero's publicity team immediately contacted various media accounts and got them to release news about it all over the internet.
" Fighting Hero's first-day box office is almost 300 million, exceeding Greedy Wolf Operation's ."
" Greedy Wolf Operation must be anxious now. Perhaps they can't keep their status as the highest-grossing locally-produced film of all-time for long."
" Fighting Hero is confirmed to register for the nomination for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film."
Looking at all these news coming up non-stop, Zhang Lun felt the exhilaration of victory.
Haha, how could Ji Cheng and Lu Man even dare to compete with him?

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is not just the first phone with a 64MP camera, it's Xiaomi's first quad camera phone. There's more – this is the first phone to use MediaTek's gaming-focused Helio G90T chipset. Official teardown images offer a close look at all those components.
The G90T chipset isn't left to fend for itself, it has a copper heat pipe that connects it to the aluminum chassis of the phone to spread out the heat. You can also see the LPDDR4x RAM stacked on top of the UFS 2.1 storage.
There are a few more MediaTek chipsets here, but charging is handled by a Qualcomm chip that enables QuickCharge 4.0+. The chipset itself supports MediaTek's PumpExpress 4.0. Both of QC4.0+ and PE4.0 are compatible with USB Power Delivery to boot.
Helio G90T chipset with UFS 2.1 storage • Heat pipe to keep it cool (also: antenna placement)
The 64MP camera module is paired up with the 2MP depth sensor. The 8MP ultra wide cam and the macro cam are separate units. An extra detail here is that the glass cover for the quad camera also houses the fingerprint reader.
Rear quad camera and selfie cam • The fingerprint reader
If you go back to the second image on the first row, you'll see the antenna placement. There are two 2G/3G/4G antennas, one on top and one on the bottom, then there are a couple of Wi-Fi antennas. Of interest are the four corners (in green), which are there to reinforce the phone in case of a drop.

外媒:中国在诺曼底登陆日表扬德国 批评日本
BEIJING — China used the 70th anniversary of World War II D-Day landings on Friday to praise Germany for its contrition over its wartime past and slam Japan for what Beijing views as Tokyo's continued denial of its brutal history.
China has increasingly contrasted Germany and its public remorse for the Nazi regime to Japan
, where repeated official apologies for wartime suffering are sometimes undercut by contradictory comments by conservative politicians.
Ties between the two Asian rivals worsened on December 26 when Japanese Prime Minister Shin zo Abe visited Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, which China sees as a symbol of Tokyo's past militarism because it honors war criminals along with millions of war dead.
"Germany's sincere remorse has won the confidence of the world
,'' Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes man Hong Lei said at a daily news briefing, when asked about the D-Day anniversary.
"But in Asia on the Asian battlefield, the leaders of Japan,which caused harm and which lost the war, are to this day still trying to reverse the course of history and deny their history of invasion,'' Hong added.

Stand on Iglesia ni Cristo protests: Poe's faux pas?
Since she topped the senatorial race in 2013 up until the months leading to her expected announcement of a presidential bid, it is safe to say that poll frontrunner Sen. Grace Poe has enjoyed a generally positive perception from the public.
Enjoying a kick-start through the popularity of her father, the late movie actor and 2004 presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr., Poe's entry into the arena of public service was regarded by many as a breath of fresh of air in a political system characterized by patronage politics, dynasties, and corruption-tainted officials.
The lady senator topping the recent preference polls for both presidential and vice presidential candidates in 2016 despite competition with more veteran politicians like Vice President Jejomar Binay and Liberal Party standard-bearer Mar Roxas was a concrete proof of the public's favorable opinion on Poe.
Having led the Senate probe on the botched Mamasapano operation, Poe has been both sharp and careful in giving her two cents on issues of public interest.
The INC brouhaha
But just recently, at the height of the Iglesia Ni Cristo's (INC) four-day mass action at Padre Faura in Manila, which culminated on Edsa, Poe got her first major taste of public backlash for a taking a stand on a political issue.
On the second day of the INC's protest against Justice Secretary Leila de Lima's supposed meddling with "internal" church affairs, Poe issued a statement which seemingly favors the influential religious sect, saying that its members were just "defending their faith" and "protecting their rights."
"For me, those people are defending their faith. We respect that and they also have to protect their rights," Poe told reporters in Nueva Ecija on Aug. 28, noting that people should not belittle the importance of religion.
"After all, those of us in [the] government have the responsibility to explain well to the people the reason for the steps we have taken," she added.
READ: Poe, other presidential bets predictably speak like politicians
Calling for a separation of church and state, INC members criticized De Lima for allegedly prioritizing the illegal detention case filed expelled INC minister Isaias Samson Jr. against the Sanggunian, the religious group's highest administrative council.
Samson, who was also the editor in chief of INC's official publication, was being accused by the church leadership of proliferating corruption issues against the sect.
Asked if the Department of Justice should handle the case filed by Samson, Poe said the agency already had a lot of more important issues to turn focus on.
Citing the Mamasapano clash, Poe noted that nobody had been placed under the witness protection program despite an ongoing investigation.
Becoming a 'trapo'?
Poe was heavily criticized by the public, particularly in social media, for her pro-INC statement.
In fact, in an online poll conducted by INQUIRER.net which garnered more than a million votes, majority of respondents or equivalent to 47.79 percent said "politicians like Poe, Binay, and [Sen. Francis] Escudero" were the biggest losers in the "test of wills" that was the INC protest.

Even Sen. Serge Osmeña, Poe's mentor in 2013, called the lady senator's comments supportive of the INC as a "mistake," saying that it made her appear to be a traditional politician (trapo).
"She was wrong there, she appeared to be a trapo," Osmeña said.
A lawyer also said that Poe might have violated the anti-graft law when she supposedly implied that De Lima should not act on the case filed by Samson against the INC leadership.

'Defending everyone's rights'
But despite criticisms from the public, who was further enraged when the INC protest paralyzed traffic on Edsa, Poe stood by her defense of the religious sect.
Saying that she was saddened that many people took her comments "differently," Poe stressed that she was just defending the rights of everyone to air grievances.
"This is not about the strength of just one group. This is the right of anyone who wants to speak about what they have in mind, as long as it's done peacefully and in the framework of the law," Poe said on Sept. 1, a day after the protest action culminated following a "mutual understanding" between INC and the government.
"I was just encouraging transparency and dialog," she added.

The influential INC is known for voting as bloc during elections, which cause politicians to woo for the sect's support and endorsement.
Poe is expected to announce her bid for the presidency at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Ang Bahay ng Alumni on the campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.
The question is: Will her stand during the INC protests bring her closer to Malacañang? Or will it cost her the presidency? The answer remains to be seen. Yuji Vincent Gonzales/IDL

Ledger died on the afternoon of 22 January 2008[6][1] due to a drug overdose.[8][9][10] A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. At the time of his death, The Dark Knight was in its editing-phase and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was in the midst of filming, in which he was playing his last role as Tony. His untimely death also affected the subsequent promotion of The Dark Knight.[11] His role as the Joker in The Dark Knight earned him widespread acclaim and popularity from both fans and critics alike, and is often regarded as one of the greatest performances in film history. Ledger also received numerous posthumous accolades for his performance in The Dark Knight, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a Best Actor International Award at the 2008 Australian Film Institute Awards, the 2008 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture,[12] and the 2009 BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.[5]
In 2014, the company grew to one million users, acquired the blockchain explorer service Blockr and the web bookmarking company Kippt, secured insurance covering the value of bitcoin stored on their servers, and launched the vault system for secure bitcoin storage.[12][13][14] Throughout 2014, the company also formed partnerships with Overstock, Dell, Expedia, Dish Network, and Time Inc. allowing those firms to accept bitcoin payments.[15][16][17][18] The company also added bitcoin payment processing capabilities to the traditional payment companies Stripe, Braintree, and PayPal.[19]
Bitcoin is the world's first virtual digital currency underpinned by a completely decentralized blockchain technology also known as the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Bitcoin was first created in 2009 by an anonymous identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin allows for peer-to-peer transactions and is completely free of any third-party involvement like financial institutions or central banks. The Bitcoin's blockchain network maintains a history of all the transactions made and facilitates instant funds transfer with minimal transaction fees required to cover the cost of network operation. The total supply of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million coins and its smallest fractional unit is called as Satoshi. Each Satoshi is a hundred millionth of a Bitcoin which means 100,000,000 Santoshi = 1 BTC. Bitcoins are generated by a process known as 'mining' which involves solving of complex mathematical algorithms. The miners involved in the mining process look after the Bitcoin network security and validate each transactions taking place on the network. Bitcoin can be exchanged with other digital currencies or fiat currencies. Bitcoin is used as a means of payment by over 100,000 vendors and merchants.

Ledger was quoted in January 2006 in Melbourne's Herald Sun as saying that he heard that West Virginia had banned Brokeback Mountain, which it had not; actually, a cinema in Utah had banned the film.[78] He had also referred mistakenly to West Virginia's having had lynchings as recently as the 1980s, but state scholars disputed his statement, observing that, whereas lynchings did occur in Alabama as recently as 1981, according to "the director of state archives and history" quoted in The Charleston Gazette, "The last documented lynching in West Virginia took place in Lewisburg in 1931."[79]

The main principle behind hardware wallets is to provide full isolation between the private keys and your easy-to-hack computer or smartphone.

What is Cryptocurrency and its types
Because the blockchain works by verifying transaction history, and this verification process is labor-intensive and slow, only so many transactions can be verified in a certain timespan. So, if you sell your Bitcoin, but the purchase isn't confirmed by the blockchain network, and the price of the currency changes, the sale won't process. You'd have to sell your Bitcoin at whatever the new rate is (if you so choose to sell). Also due to the reality of blockchain, as well as for other reasons thus far unidentified, the Coinbase payout system can sometimes be unreliable. There have been reports of extensively delayed payout periods, and bugs sometimes keep the site from running as efficiently as it could or should. A word to the wise: if you are going to invest in and speculate on cryptocurrencies, do so carefully.

On 27 September 2008, Ledger's father Kim stated that "the family has agreed to leave the US$16.3 million fortune to Matilda," adding: "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda."[115][116] In October 2008, Forbes estimated Ledger's annual earnings from October 2007 through October 2008 – including his posthumous share of The Dark Knight's gross income of "US$1 billion in box office revenue worldwide" – as "US$20 million".[117]

For his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, Ledger won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor and the Best International Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute; he was the first actor to win the latter award posthumously.[4] He was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role[5] and the Academy Award for Best Actor.[6] Posthumously, he shared the 2007 Independent Spirit Robert Altman Award with the rest of the ensemble cast, the director, and the casting director for the film I'm Not There, which was inspired by the life and songs of American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. In the film, Ledger portrayed a fictional actor named Robbie Clark, one of six characters embodying aspects of Dylan's life and persona.[7]

After a flurry of further media speculation, on 6 August 2008, the US Attorney's Office in Manhattan closed its investigation into Ledger's death without filing any charges and rendering moot its subpoena of Olsen.[99][100] With the clearing of the two doctors and Olsen, and the closing of the investigation because the prosecutors in the Manhattan US Attorney's Office "don't believe there's a viable target," it is still not known how Ledger obtained the oxycodone and hydrocodone in the lethal drug combination that killed him.[100][101]

Mahbub had business at Quetta, and there Kim, as Mahbub admitted, earned his keep, and perhaps a little over, by spending four curious days as scullion in the house of a fat Commissariat sergeant, from whose office-box, in an auspicious moment, he removed a little vellum ledger which he copied out - it seemed to deal entirely with cattle and camel sales - by moonlight, lying behind an outhouse, all through one hot night.

I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going."[80] At that time, he told Lyall that he had taken two Ambien pills, after taking just one had not sufficed, and those left him in "a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing".[31]

Essentially, if you are interested in trading in digital currencies but don't want to get bogged down in the underlying technology, products like Coinbase are a way to begin a foray into a new form of currency speculation and investing. You do, however, lose some of the advantages of trading in a cryptocurrency and through the blockchain. On Coinbase, you have no pseudo anonymity—your name is attached to your Coinbase account and so is your bank account, so transaction history is relatively easy to track down. And if you're not working on the blockchain, there's not much you can do to ensure that the verification of your transaction history or your account is taking place on the blockchain. You are, instead, placing trust in the intermediary, in this case, Coinbase.

On 31 March 2008, stimulating another controversy pertaining to Ledger's estate, Gemma Jones and Janet Fife-Yeomans published an "Exclusive" report, in The Daily Telegraph, citing Ledger's uncle Haydn Ledger and other family members, who "believe the late actor may have fathered a secret love child" when he was 17, and stating that "If it is confirmed that Ledger is the girl's biological father, it could split his multi-million dollar estate between ... Matilda Rose ... and his secret love child."[109][110][111] A few days later, reports citing telephone interviews with Ledger's uncles Haydn and Mike Ledger and the family of the other little girl, published in OK! and Us Weekly, "denied" those "claims", with Ledger's uncles and the little girl's mother and stepfather describing them as unfounded "rumors" distorted and exaggerated by the media.[112][113]

HDTV companies Brillian, Syntax to merge
Keywords:lcos? syntax groups? hdtv?
Struggling Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) microdisplay supplier Brillian Corp. has agreed to acquire Syntax Groups Corp., a privately-held supplier of liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, in a stock transaction.
Brillian will acquire all outstanding shares of Syntax, with each share of Syntax to be exchanged at an initial exchange rate of 1.6195 shares of Brillian. Shareholders of Syntax will own about 70 percent of the fully diluted shares of the combined company with Brillian's shareholders holding the remaining 30 percent.
The combined company is expected to leverage Brillian's strength in LCoS high-definition TVs and components with Syntax's strength in LCD TVs. Syntax is ranked as the third largest supplier of LCD TVs in North America with a 7 percent market share, according to DisplaySearch Inc., and is considered one of the top ten suppliers of LCD TVs worldwide.
At first glance, the merger appears to be a curious combination as LCDs and microdisplays are often viewed as competing technologies for large TVs. But given Brillian's difficulties in establishing itself as a microdisplay-only supplier, the move is necessary for the company's survival.
Brillian has struggled financially since being spun off from Three-Five Corp. as a separate company two years ago. The company has been unable to get second-generation LCoS technology developed for a 65-in. HDTV into volume production.
Production delays have caused cancellations of supply agreements. In its most recently completed quarter, Brillian saw its losses widen.
Brillian hopes to gain firmer financial footing by expanding its product scope and leveraging the channel strength, global supply chain capabilities and services of Syntax. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, Syntax had revenue of approximately $90 million, three times that of the previous fiscal year.
Vincent Sollitto, president and chief executive officer of Brillian, will serve as chairman and CEO of Syntax-Brillian. James Li, Syntax's current CEO, will be the company's president and chief operating officer. The board of directors of the combined company will include four members of Brillian and Syntax management.
"The proposed merger with Syntax Groups will strengthen our offering substantially by marrying our technology strength with Syntax Groups' outstanding channel strength and global supply chain infrastructure," said Soliito in a statement. "Together, we offer both our partners and customers an even more compelling solution for HDTV and digital consumer electronics products. We believe TFT-LCD will dominate the sub-50-inch screen size arena and LCoS will dominate the 50-inch-plus, rear-projection TV arena."
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2005.
