Woyane's Crimes against Somalia: War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, Genocide.
(January 13, 2009) Humanitarian agencies estimate that over 10,000 Somali civilians have been killed and over 2 million were made homeless as a direct result of the invasion of Somalia by Meles Zenawi's regime. Thousands of young Ethiopians who were sent to fight the senseless war in Somalia have been wounded and killed in vain. Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent in the war that could have been used to feed starving children. In short, the decision by the Meles dictatorship to invade Somalia had been extremely harmful to Ethiopia and the whole Horn of Africa region. Meles Zenawi and all the government officials in Ethiopia who had planned and executed the Somalia invasion must be held accountable for not only harming the short and long term interests of Ethiopia in the region, but equally importantly for committing war crimes, including torture, rape and mass murder against Somali civilians.

(NEWZIMBABWE) Mnangagwa: sanctions crippling ZimbabweCOMMENT - 'Targeted measures' is are weasel words, intended to imply that economic sanctions only extend to and therefore impact government ministers - they mean economic and financial sanctions, which are of course targeted at everyone. Sanctions like ZDERA that destroyed the Zimbabwe Dollar affected everyone. - MrK
MDC Alliance principals said they were for economic and social reforms, stabilization and international re-engagement that will give Zimbabweans a fighting chance in the crucial and landmark 2018 general elections.They said a lot more than that.
(NEWZIMBABWE) Mnangagwa: sanctions crippling Zimbabwe
JUST two days after the US announced that sanctions imposed on Harare would remain in place until the new administration implements political and economic reforms, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called for the lifting of the targeted measures.
Mnangagwa, speaking during the Central Committee meeting held in Harare on Thursday, said the sanctions were hampering economic development.
The US and the European Union nations imposed sanctions on former President Robert Mugabe's government for gross human rights violations and electoral theft.
Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe is now ready to re-engage with the international community and start re-building the country's economy which collapsed more than a decade ago.
The President re-affirmed his commitment to re-engage with new nations whilst keeping old friends who have given a hand to Zimbabwe during its trying moments (liberation struggle period).
Sanctions must fall ... President Emmerson Mnangagwa
"We call for the unconditional lifting of the political and economic sanctions which have crippled our national development. We realize that isolation is not splendid or viable as there is more to gain through solidarity, mutual beneficial partnerships which however, recognise our unique national interests.
"Government will thus pursue a robust re-engagement process to fully affirm our belonging to the family of nations. The re-engagement strategy will seek to create new relations whilst holding steadfast to those countries that stood by us during our darkest years.
"In this regard, measures will be put in place to attract foreign investment ensuring that Zimbabwe is a place where capital feels safe. It has already begun," Mnangagwa said.
The US government on Tuesday told MDC Alliance principals who were visiting Washington that sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe two decades ago would stay whilst the country monitors Mnangagwa regarding reforms especially the electoral and economic reforms.
MDC Alliance principals said they were for economic and social reforms, stabilization and international re-engagement that will give Zimbabweans a fighting chance in the crucial and landmark 2018 general elections.
MDC-T Vice President Nelson Chamisa who is part of the delegation has denied accusations by Zimbabwean government that they have pressured the US not to remove the sanctions against Harare.

Over the past decade, van der Heijden has exhibited at various institutions throughout Europe and the United States. Her work was shown at LOOP, Barcelona, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Musée dart Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg and Centre Contemporain dIstres, France, Videonale 8, Bonn, Smart Project Space, Amsterdam, and Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona. In the United States, venues include Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum, Santa Barbara, CA, the Bates Museum of Art, Lewiston, Maine, Mason Gross Galleries, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, Danforth Museum, Framingham, MA, 40000, Chicago, Quotidian Gallery, San Francisco and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC. In New York City, she has shown works at the New Museum, the Queens Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, Lincoln Center, LMAK Projects, Luxe Gallery, Schroeder Romero, Exit Art, Artist Space, White Box, Momenta Art and the Dumbo Arts Festival, among other venues.

She has a BFA from the Cooper Union and a MFA from Hunter College. Van der Heijden has lectured on her work in venues such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, New York University, The School of Visual Art, and Pace University in New York.

GIMPS has discovered a new largest known prime number: 282589933-1 (24,862,048 digits)
One of the most important tools in elementary number theory is modular arithmetic (or congruences). Suppose a, b and m are any integers with m not zero, then we say a is congruent to b modulo m if m divides a-b. We write this as
a b (mod m).For example: 6 2 (mod 4), -1 9 (mod 5), 1100 2 (mod 9), and the square of any odd number is 1 modulo 8.
Congruences are found throughout our lives. For example, clocks work either modulo 12 or 24 for hours, and modulo 60 for minutes and seconds. Calendars work modulo 7 for days of the week and modulo 12 for months. The language of congruences was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in the early nineteenth century.
Notice a b (mod m) if and only if there is an integer q such that a = b + qm, so congruences can be translated to equalities with the addition of one unknown. Perhaps the three most important properties of congruences modulo m are:
If a, b, c and d are any integers with a b (mod m) and c d (mod m), then

Price dedicates new autobiography to Andre
London, Oct 30 (IANS) Former glamour model Katie Price has dedicated her new autobiography to her ex-husband singer Peter Andre.
Price made an over-the-top tribute to the Australian singer in the opening page of 'You Only Live Once' — despite their bitter split last year.
'I dedicate this book firstly to my ex Peter Andre for helping create two of the most amazing people in my life: Junior and Princess,' thesun.co.uk quoted her as saying in the book.
'I also thank him for taking me on a wonderful journey of self-discovery. I've turned from a cocooned chrysalis into the butterfly that I am today. I hope you find the happiness you have always been searching for,' she added.
She also gave a short message to her current husband cage-fighter Alex Ried in the second paragraph of the book's first page.
'To my beloved husband Alex, who has stuck by me through my torment and darkest hour and respects me for my individuality as I do his,' she said.

text: Enterprises today use the cloud for applications all across their IT landscape for tools like email, Salesforce, ServiceNow and more. Cost savings, operational stability, and reduced management effort are all proven advantages. But when we consider moving mission-critical systems at the heart of business such as SAP HANA – there is significant angst and uncertainty among IT and security professionals. Tom Evgey – Director of Cloud, Onapsis and Scott Goolik – VP of Compliance & Security, Symmetry explore various security issues organizations are facing when it comes to SAP HANA cloud deployments. During this presentation, we outline foundational elements and best practices for organizations to follow as they build a comprehensive security program when migrating SAP implementations to the cloud.

I'm not one to care about the Shamrock Shake, but after a discussion acured between co workers, we realized these things are very hard to find these days.
One co worker called several different locations around Orange County, most Micky D's employee's said, they don't have them and one even said, "We don't have one yet." It was the day before St Patrick's Day… How could they not have them yet? When will they get them? The day after the holiday? Long story short, he was unable to find one and we went back to work.
No Shamrock Shakes in SoCal?!? Busted! 😛
The order screen said it's a Chocolate Shake and when I tried to correct the mistake, I was told they don't have a button for it because they're not supposed to have it…
What's the story behind the disappearing Shamrock Shake?!?!?!

Once upon a time (let's call that time "1988"), there was a young music lover with great enthusiasm, but not much yet in the way of taste (let's call him "me") who got himself a job at a chain record store (which we will call "Sound Warehouse"), where he spent some of the bleakest years of pop music as a "Singles Manager". Excuse me, "Cassingles Manager".
But even better than having to reshuffle the cassingles each day, was being in charge of the last remaining vinyl in the record store - the 12" dance singles. We may now live in the age of the mash-up, but there was a time when the regular old dance remix was king. Any mildly danceable song was fiddled with by a stream of remix producers with names like Jellybean Benitez, or Shep Pettibone, or Stock Aitken Waterman. Disco may have died, but drinking and dancing were still needed, and
instead of funk grooves, the clubs in the burbs needed longer versions
of already popular white-bread songs. So, our plucky remixers would do their darndest to extend a bridge, add a synthesized "blat", program fake hip-hop scratches, and do whatever else they could to stretch a standard pop song into a 5-7 minute dance remix.
And so it was with a mixture of both revulsion and excitement that I discovered Born Again 80s, which posts a mixture of new remixes of 80s pop hits along with the original 12" dance mixes. I used to listen to every one of these original remixes, and while I recognized their cheesiness, I also came to love the form's sheer simplicity. Why totally rework a song when you can simply extend it? When it worked it worked well (heck bands like Dead or Alive and the Pet Shop Boys based whole careers on remixes), and when it didn't, well, you just ended up scratching your head over a Don Henley dance remix, waiting for it to end already.
There's tons to download on the site, but since this is the WFMU blog, after all, I thought it would only be right to point you to the posts of some of the most head-scratching WTF remixes from that era:
- Julian Lennon, "Too Late For Goodbyes" - I had no idea you could add a simple dancey back-beat and turn a Lennon into Debbie Gibson mall pop.
- Yes, "Owner of a Lonely Heart (Extended Dub Mix)" - Ah, the 80s dub. A milquetoast back-beat with occasional vocal samples meant to play as, what, a bridge? How about to put the dance floor to sleep?
- Huey Lewis & the News, "I Want I New Drug" (Original Extended 12" Dance Mix) - Remixing a bar band is never a good idea. You just end up with sax overload. The final minute, though, sounds like the Space Invaders are getting closer.
- Phil Collins & Philip Bailey, "Easy Lover (Original Extended 12" Mix)" - Like a kid playing with the pause button. There was little to do with this song other than loop the booming drums, then randomly change the speeds and splice the vocals in oddly repetitive fashion. Besides, who really wanted this to be longer, anyway?
- "Kon Kan, Puss N Boots/These Boots Are Made For Walking" - Now, this would be an early mash-up, and a great example of how NOT to do it. Take cheesy pre-programmed back beats, blend it with "The Immigrant Song", add in "These Boots Are Made For Walking", sprinkle with "Tequila", and add in some truly un-inspired "singing". Oh yeah, and a "rap". Future DJ's take note, you have been schooled!
And now let me hear from you, dear readers. Any truly painful 12" remixes you remember being tortured by? Especially one that just seemed wildly inappropriate.

Note: passwords are case-sensitive
Israeli chain,
New Lineo Cinemas (NLC), has been operating in Portugal since 1996 and is now one of the country's leading cinema chains. NLC is currently digitalising its screens across Portugal with projectors from Christie's CP2000 series.
Already holding 39 screens in Portugal, accounting for 10% of market share, NLC is planning to open 20 additional screens in 2010. The new equipment is being supplied and installed by
Edecine, a Portuguese company with over 25 years experience in cinema screening solutions under its belt.
"We have been working with Christie for many years, distributing its 35mm movie solutions," explains José M. Charneca, Director of Edecine. "When the digital revolution came along, Christie was at the forefront, so our decision to collaborate with the brand was pretty logical" he adds. "Besides, New Lineo Cinemas had also been working with Christie so they knew the brand well. Even so, we also encouraged them to install the projectors from the
series, the most widely renowned digital projectors internationally. We firmly believe that Christie produces the world's best projectors."

What to Expect
Final Calculations
We will calculate your allowance after we receive payroll reports from the last time you were paid. The final figures should not differ substantially from the estimates you receive, but bear in mind the estimates are estimates.
It may take us some time to get all the numbers together, and you may not receive a check during the first month of your retirement. Once you are on the payroll, we will catch you up with any previous months that are due to you.
Monthly Allowance
Your allowance will be paid monthly on the last day of the month. Checks will be mailed. If you have requested direct deposit, we will mail a statement to you.
At the end of the year, we will send you a 1099R form, which will tell you how much of your allowance is taxable. If you began work after 1988, all of your allowance is taxable. If you contributed money before 1988, a portion of your contributions will be non-taxable over the first few years of your allowance. Once it has all been used, your entire allowance will be taxable.
You will be required, by state law, to sign a form each January stating that you are still living and entitled to continue receiving benefits. The form will be included with your retirement check. Please return this form quickly. If we do not receive it by the deadline, we are required to stop your allowance. Also make sure that you notify us of any change of address, change in marital status, or change in beneficiaries.
You can continue to work after retirement. The State has limits on what you can earn in public sector employment. You cannot work more than 960 hours in a year, and your earnings plus your allowance cannot be more than your current salary in the first full year of retirement. After the first full calendar year of retirement, you are entitled to earn $15,000 a year over that amount. There are no limits on employment in the private sector.
Cost-of-Living Adjustment
In the spring of each year, the Retirement Board usually considers a cost-of-living increase for retirees, which in recent years has been an increase of 3% on the first $13,000 of your allowance. This allows for a maximum of $390 a year.
There is an organization for public retirees, which you are invited to join. The organization provides advocacy for public retirement issues in Boston, and keeps members informed of legislation in progress. You may join this group here.

The other day Jill Biden dropped a bombshell on the Oprah Winfrey show. She revealed to a national television audience of millions of Americans that Joe Biden had the "choice" to either be Vice President or Secretary of State.
That is not something that she was "supposed" to tell people.
When Jill Biden realized her mistake she laughed and blurted out: "Well, okay, he did!"
I guess she must have picked up her husband's tendency to put his foot in his mouth.
Here is video of this stunning incident.....
What is most disturbing about this is that this is just another indication that there is a lot more to how our leaders are selected than we are being told.
Almost instantly the spin doctors for Obama and Biden have tried to play down this story, but I think that most Americans will see right through that.
In fact, the spin is the most troubling thing of all.
Okay.....Jill Biden spilled the beans and told the truth.....why not just let the truth get out and admit it?
But that is not how American politics work.
Instead everything is about lying and covering things up and making things look the way they are "supposed" to look.
The following is a longer version of Biden's appearance on Oprah today that shows the clip in more context.....

What's Holding Cabot Oil & Gas Back in the Marcellus?
While most E&P players would balk at natural gas prices as low as $3 mmBtu, there is one player, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation , that can realize a BTAX IRR (before tax internal rate of return) of 102% in the Marcellus shale at that price. A major Marcellus player, Cabot was able to grow its adjusted net income by 102% last quarter to $109.7 million, even as 96.6% of its 119.9 Bcfe of production was dry gas.
To achieve such strong income growth, Cabot Oil & Gas has been steadily decreasing its production costs. Total unit costs per thousand cubic feet, or one million British thermal units (mmBtu), of production was 19% lower than in the same quarter last year.
One big thing that's holding Cabot back from its true potential is the wide differential it receives versus Henry Hub pricing for natural gas. In the first quarter of 2014, Cabot Oil & Gas received an average price of $3.74 mmBtu for its dry gas production, a 8.4% improvement versus the same quarter last year yet still ~$0.65 lower than Henry Hub prices. Imagine Cabot's potential if it could boost its realized natural gas prices. At $4 mmBtu, a normal Marcellus well for Cabot Oil & Gas would yield a BTAX IRR of 206%!
In pursuit of such outstanding returns, Cabot has teamed up with Williams Partners L.P. to build out natural gas infrastructure in the Marcellus region, so Cabot can sell its production to markets with higher prices.
In the spirit of 1776
Williams Partners L.P. is building the Constitution pipeline, which will be 75% owned by Williams Partners and 25% owned by Cabot Oil & Gas. The pipeline will be online sometime in late 2015 or early 2016, and will carry 500 million cubic feet of gas a day of Cabot's production to "premium markets" via the Iroquois system and the Tennessee 200 line.
Luckily for Cabot Oil & Gas, Williams Partners L.P. doesn't plan on stopping there. The Atlantic Sunrise Project is an expansion of Williams Partners' existing Transco system, and should be completed in 2017. Through the expansion, Williams Partners will transport an additional 850 million cubic feet a day of Cabot Oil & Gas' production that is currently being shipped to other markets. By using Williams Partners' new infrastructure, Cabot will be able to support higher levels of production in the future and receive better prices for its dry gas output, creating a very bullish long-term growth story.
Foolish conclusion
The opportunities are endless, as Cabot Oil & Gas is forecasting output growth of 28%-41% this year, and by 20%-30% next year. Cabot has 200,000 net acres in the Marcellus shale, and with six rigs Cabot plans on completing 110 net wells this year. While Cabot is off to a relatively rocky start this year due to the harsh winter, management expects production growth to be weighted toward the second half of the year. With the building blocks of future growth being built "as we speak," expect Cabot Oil & Gas to outperform over the next few years as higher production levels combine with higher realized prices to propel the bottom line.
For Williams Partners L.P., these two projects are part of a broader plan to support and grow its 6.8% distribution by alleviating the bottleneck that has built up in the Marcellus/Utica region. Investing in an area that is expected to see output rise by 5 billion cubic feet a day over the next two years alone is a smart move, as the current level of midstream infrastructure is woefully unprepared to cater to the shale revolution.
Do you know this energy tax "loophole"?
You already know record oil and natural gas production is changing the lives of millions of Americans. But what you probably haven't heard is that the IRS is encouraging investors to support our growing energy renaissance, offering you a tax loophole to invest in some of America's greatest energy companies. Take advantage of this profitable opportunity by grabbing your brand-new special report, "The IRS Is Daring You to Make This Investment Now!," and you'll learn about the simple strategy to take advantage of a little-known IRS rule.

Making a Will
In Pennsylvania, anyone over the age of 18 may make a will, as long as they are of sound mind. In legal terms, "sound mind" generally means that the person has not been declared incompetent in a court hearing such as in a trial or a civil commitment hearing. If a testator, who is the person making the will, is the sole living parent or guardian of a minor, he may use the will to appoint a guardian for the child. However, he can only do this if he has been providing for the child and performing his parental duties such as caring for the child.
Laws on Signatures
In Pennsylvania, wills are not valid and legally binding unless they are in writing and signed by the testator. Anything written after the signature, such as an addition to the will, cannot invalidate any part of the will. If the testator cannot write his signature, he can make a mark instead. This is valid as long as two people witness it and also sign the will. The testator's name can also be signed by someone else, as long as the testator is present and declares the document to be his will in front of two witnesses who also sign the will.
Revocation Laws
Pennsylvania law states that you can revoke a will, or part of a will, by writing a new will or codicil. A testator can also revoke a will by destroying it with the intention of revoking it. Additionally, another person, under the direction of the testator and in front of two witness, may also destroy the will, thereby revoking it.
Laws Regarding Modification
There are several ways in which wills can be legally modified in Pennsylvania. One is by adding a codicil. Another is if the testator divorces after making a will. In this case, any provisions in the will leaving assets or money to the former spouse, automatically become void. If the testator marries after making a will, the surviving spouse is entitled to a share of the testator's estate, even if she is not mentioned in the will. In this case, the surviving spouse is entitled to same share she would receive if the testator had died without a will.

About my family:
I have an amazing family that I'm so grateful for. I've been married for 15 years and have two beautiful daughters. I lost two babies before having my girls and so I'm very aware that healthy children truly are miracles. My first was Gabriel, born still and my second miscarried. Others who have suffered such losses hold a very special place in my heart and I've always shared my story openly because I want to help us all feel not so alone.
Since we are talking about the hard stuff, my mom died of lung cancer 9 years ago. She was only 51. She was a single mother when I was growing up and I am an only child. We were very close. Mostly I'm heartbroken that my girls didn't grow up with her. She was a generous, loving and devoted grandma.
Last fall we lost our beloved dog Jax. Yes, he is a pitbull and he was a great dog, especially with my kids. I even had him while I ran my own home daycare. He thought babies were delicious. He liked giving kisses and babies are always sticky. His favorite job was cleaning all the high chairs and the kitchen floor after meal times. He was an excellent cleaner upper.
We have a new puppy, Elsa. She's an American bulldog. She is still a bit naughty and we are working on that, but we love her anyway. We'll love her even more when she stops eating chapstick. She turned 1 in September.
About me:
I'm a multipotentialite (more about that soon) which means I have a lot of interests. None of them athletic. Actually, I took up running last summer. Sort of on a very part time basis. My goal was to get a little exercise with my dog. But I live in Minnesota and winter came, along with 4 PM sunsets and goodbye running. My new plan is to get a treadmill so that I can walk/run with Elsa in the winter. And make Elsa go on long walks all by herself because she needs a lot of exercise and her daily walks with us are just not enough. Exercise, discipline, affection is our dog motto. Thanks, Cesar!
I'm interested in meditation and gratitude (I even have a gratitude group on Facebook where all we do is post the things we are grateful for. Come join us.) I'm writing a memoir about my childhood. It's a slow process. I'm a huge Friends and Scrubs fan. I miss scrapbooking. I love adult coloring books. I can't wait to get one with cuss words and I've pre-ordered The Bloggess' coming out in March. I love hosting grown up game nights, going to concerts, plays, and musicals. I also host a reunion for my favorite high school teacher every summer.
I work as an admin in an IP law firm (our attorneys write patents). I'm an extrovert, I have an on-going battle with depression and anxiety, I love being the "glue that holds groups together" and I hate debt. I want to see people succeed in life, to make their own choices and to learn and grow and have the chance to overcome the battles we all face. I think we all have amazing potential. Life is hard work though. Our best bet is to learn from the experts and our own mistakes, to be kind and generous to one another and to refuse to take on a victim mentality. And when we do fall, to pick ourselves up (with help of course) and to keep on keeping on.
Love, Marcie

Adam Forest admits to being a heavy sleeper - even more so when he's taken a sleeping tablet.
That may explain why the Smithfield Rd resident slept through two screaming smoke alarms on Wednesday morning.
But a friend and neighbour several doors down did hear the alarms and called emergency services after she was unable to rouse Forest from his sleep by knocking loudly on the front door.
"I guess I owe her big time," Forest said.
The first he knew of the fire was when he awoke to a firefighter standing over his bed. "I thought WTF ... then noticed the house was full of smoke."
Whanganui senior station officer Aaron Summerhays said the fire was caught early and caused minimal damage.
But he said the outcome could have been worse had it not been for the neighbour's intervention.
"Smoke was showing from inside the house when we arrived and we forced entry to the house and found the occupant still in bed," Summerhays said.
"Unattended cooking caused the fire but there was early detection by the neighbour due to working smoke alarms. There were two working smoke alarms at the property.
"It highlights the importance of not leaving cooking unattended on a stove and of having working smoke alarms."
Forest was checked by ambulance staff at the scene and did not require hospital treatment.
The fire followed a house fire near Waitotara about 7.45am on Wednesday.
Summerhays said the Waverley Volunteer Fire Brigade was first on the scene and they contained the fire to one room of the house on State Highway 3 on the Nukumaru straight.
Patea volunteer firefighters also attended, along with a pump from Whanganui.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by fire safety staff, Summerhays said.
On Wednesday morning Whanganui crews were also called to Bushy Park and Hikurangi Stayplace after alarms were activated. Both were false alarms.

You will develop a deep knowledge and understanding of the statutory frameworks that teachers work within, which includes the Teachers' Standards that all teachers work towards, current Ofsted and Department for Education guidance, and best practice in meeting your legal and ethical obligations in key areas such as safeguarding, child protection and special educational needs.
Curriculum Knowledge and Pedagogy
Teachers need to be confident in working with all aspects of Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum. We will support you in building a strong knowledge base, particularly in the core subjects of English and Maths, and guide you in developing further subject knowledge independently.
We understand that we can't teach you the whole curriculum – and no teacher ever knows the full curriculum! Our focus is on preparing you with the understanding of how to develop your knowledge to teach a broad and balanced curriculum, and provide you with an understanding of subject and age-specific pedagogy which will equip you with the skills to plan, teach and assess across the curriculum confidently.
Theory into Practice
Teaching, and working with young children, is a complex profession. As teachers, we are surrounded by 'top tips' and 'quick fixes'. Sometimes the choice and advice given can seem bewildering. An important aspect of training to teach is developing your understanding of why we work in certain ways.
Why do we choose different assessment types? Why do we ask different types of questions? Why do we group children in different ways? Understanding the theory behind what works helps you to reflect professionally on these types of questions and sets you up to be confident in your own practice and decision making.
Teaching in the Primary School
You can't become a primary teacher without experiencing the classroom. In each year of the programme you will spend a substantial block of time working alongside excellent practitioners in our partnership of Early Years and Primary settings.
We support you to build your skills gradually: from working with individual children at the start of your training, to planning and teaching sequences of lessons, to taking on the role as class teacher in your final placement. Along the way you are always supported by a school mentor. #expand#
A variety of assessment methods are used, matched to the learning outcomes for the programme, to enable students to demonstrate the full range of knowledge and skills that they have developed. There is some scope for students to be involved in negotiating and evaluating some assessment.
Assessments tailored to this programme include formative assessments where you will be provided opportunities to develop new skills and receive feedback from tutors prior to completing the final assessment for the module. These will include presentations, group tasks, reports and audits. Assessments will use a variety of media and can include practical as well as purely academic elements.
The Primary Education programmes have been carefully designed to ensure that you receive the opportunity to be assessed in all skills that you will require as a professional teacher, so you do not get a choice about the style of assessment. However, there are opportunities as the programme progresses to develop areas of interest either in essays or for research.
In addition to each of your module assessments you will take a programme level assessment in each of the first and second year of your programme. This is designed to assess your understanding of everything you have been taught and to help you to understand how different elements of your degree fit together to make a coherent programme.
You will be given weekly directed activities to complete in each module. These will contribute marks towards the final module assessment and reward engagement with the content of the module. They will also help you to check your understanding of what has been taught. Some of these activities may include further reading or preparation tasks for seminars. Some of the tasks will be completed online and may include quizzes which provide you with instant feedback on your understanding of the module content. In some modules lecturers may place some of the taught content on videos which you may be required to watch prior to attending a class. This will free up time for you to work on meaningful projects in class.
On this programme there are some assessments which are marked on a pass/fail basis rather than graded. Please note that these assessments are excluded from the calculations made to produce the figures published in the Key Information Set (KIS) for this programme/subject.
For the old GCSE system we require grade C or above and for the new GCSE grading system we will accept grade 4 or higher in English Language, Maths and Science.
We accept the following GCSE Science equivalencies: BTEC Level 2 (Merit or Distinction), OCR Nationals Level 2 (Merit or Distinction) and www.equivalencytesting.com - Science. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you are unsure.
We welcome students with a range of qualifications and treat every application on its own merit; we value highly the experience you illustrate in your personal statement.
Applicants who meet the entry criteria will be invited to interview. You will need to attend an Interview Day before we can offer you a place on this course. Read more about our Interview Days here.
Applicants who are offered a place and accept will be contacted regarding the DBS application, which will be completed via an external company.
All entrants to Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses are required to be declared as 'fit to train to teach', you will be asked to complete a health assessment as part of the entry conditions to the programme.
Tuition fees cost £9,250 a year for this course in 2019/20. Part-time tuition fees would be pro-rated accordingly to the number of credits you're studying. Depending on government policy, tuition fees may rise with inflation in future years. Find out more here.
Living costs will also need to be taken in to consideration. Find out more about accommodation and costs here.
Leeds Trinity offers a range of bursaries and scholarships to help support students while you study. Get more information about bursaries and scholarships here.
Tuition fees cost £12,000 per year for this course starting in 2019-20. Part-time study is not available for international students on a Tier 4 Student Visa. Find out more
In each year of the programme, you'll benefit from a minimum of seven weeks training in an early years or primary school setting. At each stage of training, you will be supported by an expert school mentor, as well as a University link tutor.
In the first year, you will gradually take on some of the teacher's role by working with small groups of children, setting activities in areas of provision and moving on to teach whole group lessons. Throughout the second and third year, you will build up the amount of time you spend planning, teaching and assessing children until you have gained the independence needed to be successful in your first year of teaching.
Learn more about your School-based Training.
As a qualified teacher, you'll open the door to a wide range of career progression opportunities that will not only increase your earning potential, but will help you to make a difference at a much higher level. We're really proud of our alumni, whose teaching careers have taken them across the UK and the world. They're making their mark on the future generation as heads of departments, head teachers, pastoral care leaders and even as international school founders.

Director Shane Black became visibly emotional as he publicly apologized to Olivia Munn over The Predator controversy at the film's premiere on Wednesday.
The 56-year-old filmmaker caused outrage after he cast his friend, registered sex offender Steven Wilder Striegel, who had served time behind bars for trying to coax a 14-year-old girl into a sexual relationship over the Internet in 2010, in the new movie.
Munn discovered Striegel's criminal past last month, and successfully lobbied Twentieth Century Fox bosses to cut the scene, and the news went public last week. Munn went on to accuse Black of keeping the news from the cast and crew, and complained that she had been shunned by her co-stars.
At The Predator premiere on Wednesday, Black reached out to Munn, and became visibly emotional as he discussed the controversy.
"I have reached out to Olivia," he told Entertainment Tonight. "I felt that I owed her that call, that apology and I'm very sorry for any pain that she's felt, but I reached out privately."
The director expressed his remorse over the decision to cast Striegel, and took full responsibility for the fallout.
"If I caused pain, it's on me. It's my fault. I made a decision, which was a very bad – look, it's not about the fact that I was as shocked to discover what's going on at reading these horrible things in the paper. That's still on me," he continued.
"I'm not allowed to just treat this like we're kids in college and putting friends in movies because this is big leagues, and I felt like I had let people down and caused pain to the cast and that is not acceptable."
Munn told ET at the event that she had been encouraged by the response to her actions, and was happy that her co-stars – including Sterling K. Brown – had finally supported her.
"Just to have everyone on that same page… that's honestly been the most amazing thing just to see that."

I hate crawling behind my desk, or worse, behind my TV to mess with cables and cords. As a former networking admin, I'm actually really good about cable organization, so it's not horrible. The worst thing is trying to unplug something one-handed, as there's generally only enough room to slide a single arm back there. Usually after a bit of wiggling, I'm able to accomplish my task, but it's not always so simple. This is why I love this Raise Me Up powerstrip concept.
The idea here is that when you plug something in, it pushes down a plastic piece and leaves a flap sticking up. When you need to unplug something, just push down on the flap and presto! You're ready to go. The only issue I see with this is that unless I'm mistaken, you won't be able to plug in bulky power bricks directly into this contraption.

Dennis was born in Riverside New Jersey in 1951 to Frank and Anna Lott older brother Frank Jr. and sister Florence. His wife Fran and he have 4 children and 7 grandchildren. He graduated from Riverside High School. He became a union carpenter for 41 years, retired and then worked for Freeman Decorating for another 7.
Guns always fascinated him because his father carried a 38 Smith and Wesson as his side arm while working for Brinks. While growing up, his dad would take him to his aunt's farm behind Nixon's General Store in Tabernacle to watch Uncle Abner shoot pistol and then shotguns. They would shoot old chicken eggs found in the barn. One person would throw the egg in the air and his dad would annihilate it. As he got older and was able to get a hunting license, he would go to the farm and by this time his Uncle Abner and bought a clay target thrower. He had a 12 gauge L. C. Smith double barrel shotgun that he let him shoot. He only hit oe but it was dead center with a black puff, nothing but dust. He had a heck of a time hitting them but it was fun.
20 years later, working with a group of guys who only talked about hunting, they invited him to a friend's farm to shoot some clay targets. He thought it was great! While talking to his friend Greer Gaskill, he told him of his shooting adventure at the farm and he suggested they take a ride to Pine Belt Sportsman's Club to shoot regulation trap on Wednesday evening. Dennis had bought a Remington 870 from a neighbor and he took it along. At his first attempt he broke about 15, but enjoyed it. They went back for several consecutive weeks. Greer stopped but Dennis continued to shoot. He would hit some just like the ones he hit with Uncle Ab's double barrel. Greer lent him a Browning Broadway over and under trap gun and he found that he could hit in the 20s out of 25. His friend, Jimmy, told Dennis that his Mom, Pat Mannery, and her friend, Ed Marge, shot trap and wanted him to meet them at Pine Valley Gun Club one Saturday in May. He showed up with his 870 and some shells in an Acme bag. They were shooting registered trap where you shoot 100 targets. He shot an 80 which was a big feat for a new shooter. They took him into the clubhouse and "Toots" Tindall signed him up to shoot registered trap. In June at the New Jersey State Shoot he broke his first 25.
After shooting all over the country for the last 25 years he has registered 150,000 targets and gone through 8 different trap guns. His wife, Fran, shoots occasionally and when they went to Las Vegas Gun Club and received a pair of beautiful silver belt buckles.
Dennis is a life member of the ATA, NRA, Pine Belt Sportsman's Association, past club president and life member of Pine Valley Gun Club and 13th generation from the Mayflower. On any nice day you'll find him at the gun club.

What is selective photothermolysis?
One of the benefits of laser treatment over other modalities of treatment (such as IPL) is the specificity of laser treatment. For example, to remove a brown spot in the skin, it may be possible to use liquid nitrogen to burn it off, however, by doing so, this will non-specifically affect the normal skin as well as the brown spot. Lasers are able to selectively treat the brown spot with minimal or no disruption to the normal skin. Lasers are able to specifically target a particular problem when the principles of selective photothermolysis are used.
Selective photothermolysis is the principle that allows lasers to be used to target a specific area/problem in the skin with minimal or no disruption to the surrounding normal skin. For selective photothermolysis to be successful, the following must occur (we will use the example of removing an unwanted blood vessel with laser to illustrate each point);
The laser wavelength must be highly attracted to the target e.g 532nm laser wavelength (as found on the Gemini laser) is targeted to haemoglobin which is present in blood vessels
The target must dissipate heat slower than the surrounding skin, and therefore accumulate heat from the laser e.g the blood vessel targeted by the 532nm wavelength will dissipate heat energy slower than the surround skin, therefore it accumulates heat and this causes it to shut down. The laser energy also must be applied to the target quickly enough for the target to heat up to a critical temperature.
The laser wavelength must reach the target e.g the 532nm wavelength needs to be able to penetrate down to the level of the capillary it is targeting.
If the above criteria are satisfied, it is then possible for laser to specifically target a particular problem in the skin, whether it be a freckle, capillary, or excess hair, without damage to the normal skin.

A New York City police officer addicted to prescription painkillers stole four loaded pistols from the lockers of his fellow officers at a Lower Manhattan precinct station house and used them — and a fifth gun he owned — to pay a drug debt to a Queens drug and gun dealer, prosecutors said on Friday.
The officer, Nicholas Mina, 31, was arrested on Thursday and was charged with conspiracy, criminal sale and possession of a firearm, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney's office said Officer Mina, who had been on the force for four and a half years and was assigned to the Ninth Precinct in the East Village, broke into the lockers of four colleagues in February and April and pilfered the police-issued weapons and a bullet-resistant vest. Officer Mina was also charged with buying and selling methadone, according to an indictment.
During an arraignment in Manhattan, Christopher Prevost, an assistant district attorney, said, "It shocks the conscience" that undercover investigators "had to put their lives in danger to stop another police officer from putting guns out onto the street."
Along with Officer Mina, the authorities arrested Ivan Chavez, 24, who is accused of being a drug and weapons dealer and who, prosecutors said, regularly supplied oxycodone and other drugs to Officer Mina, to feed his habit. Mr. Chavez was charged with conspiracy, unlawfully possessing and selling firearms and sale of a controlled substance.
Prosecutors also charged Marcos Echevarria, 22, of Brooklyn, with conspiracy and possessing and selling weapons; Meryl Lebowitz, 64, of Queens, with possession and sale of weapons and sale of a controlled substance; and Jennifer Sultan, 38, who lives in Manhattan, with conspiracy.
A sixth defendant, who has not been named by prosecutors, is still being sought.
With the exception of Ms. Sultan, whose bail was set at $45,000 cash or $150,000 bond, the defendants were held without bail after appearing before Justice Edward J. McLaughlin of State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
Officer Mina's lawyer, David Fisher, told Justice McLaughlin that his client had no previous criminal history and asked that he be released on bail. But the judge said, "I don't believe there is any bail that would assure this person's appearance in this courtroom ever."
Mr. Prevost said that as undercover detectives from the Police Department's firearms investigation unit were buying stolen weapons, they realized that some pistols were loaded with police-issued ammunition. That ultimately led investigators to Officer Mina, who, prosecutors said, had been buying oxycodone and other narcotics from Mr. Chavez.
Mr. Prevost told Justice McLaughlin that Mr. Chavez "sat really in the middle of the conspiracy" to traffic weapons and had sold 10 firearms over the past few months, including the five provided by Officer Mina. When officers executed a search warrant at his home on Thursday, he said, they found a TEC-9 machine pistol and a sawed-off shotgun which had been offered for sale.
Mr. Prevost said that investigators seized thousands of pills, blank prescription pads and a large quantity of heroin from Mr. Chavez's home. Also in the home, he said, was $61,000 in counterfeit bills, more than 30 identification cards and credit cards with different names, and tools that Mr. Prevost said were used to deface serial numbers on weapons.
Officer Mina, whose arrest was reported by The New York Post on Friday, has been suspended without pay.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – After going 6-4 through the first half of Big Sky play Sacramento State (14-5, 6-4 Big Sky) concludes a season-long four game road trip this week playing at Northern Arizona (6-13, 3-7 Big Sky) at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time Thursday and at Southern Utah (12-7, 6-4 Big Sky) at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The Hornets are in a four-way tie for third place in the Big Sky, with North Dakota sitting atop the table at 9-2 and Montana in second at 7-3. When Sacramento State hosted NAU and SUU in The Nest in January, the Hornets claimed a 104-79 win over the Lumberjacks but saw their nine-game winning streak end in a 97-79 loss to the Thunderbirds.
Both games this week will be broadcast live starting 10 minutes prior to the tip on HornetSports.com/Radio with Andrew Tomsky providing the play-by-play call. Streaming video will also be available on WatchBigSky.com with links to all media, including live stats, available on the women's basketball schedule page. Thursday's game at Northern Arizona will also be televised live on Fox Sports Arizona and on tape delay on Fox College Sports.
Quick Notes
Sacramento State leads NCAA Div. I in three-point makes per game (12.9), steals per game (14.6), and turnover margin (+10.11) and is second in points per game (89.6)...Fantasia Hilliard broke the Sacramento State career assist record against Northern Colorado on Jan. 25 and is eighth in the NCAA this season with 6.8 assists per game...The Hornets scored a Big Sky record 111 points last Saturday at Weber State, their fifth game above 100 points and their third broken or re-broken Big Sky record this season...Alle Moreno, who broke the Big Sky career 3-point attempt record last week and is Sacramento State's all-time leader in 3-point makes, is just eight steals shy of that program record...Six players scored in double figures as the Hornets defeated Northern Arizona in January before their program-record nine-game winning streak was ended by Southern Utah.
Scouting Northern Arizona (6-13, 3-7 Big Sky)
The Hornets outscored Northern Arizona 61-36 in the second half in the first meeting between the teams in a 104-79 win. Six Sacramento State players scored in double figures in that game while NAU junior Erikka Banks totaled 28 points and 11 rebounds. The Lumberjacks are just 2-6 on their home floor this season but did have an 82-77 home win over Southern Utah. Northern Arizona leads the Big Sky in field goal percentage (.443) and is second in the league with 9.4 steals per game. Amanda Frost, the only senior on a Lumberjack team that features eight true freshmen, leads the Big Sky with 22.7 points per game while Banks leads in field goal percentage and is third in rebounding.
Scouting Southern Utah (12-7, 6-4 Big Sky)
Southern Utah shocked Sacramento State with a 97-79 win in The Nest on Jan. 11, ending the Hornets program-record 11 game winning streak. The Thunderbirds were the first Hornet opponent that tried playing slow offensively and running down the clock, and it worked in the second half in which SUU outscored SAC 62-37. Southern Utah shot 64.7% in the game, the highest field goal percentage against the Hornets this season. At 6-4 the Thunderbirds begin the week tied with Sacramento State for third place in the Big Sky and will be able to rest until Saturday's game without a contest on Thursday. The T-Birds lead the Big Sky in free throw percentage and rank second in scoring margin and rebounding margin.
The Nation's Best
Sacramento State leads all of NCAA Div. I (343 Teams) with 12.9 three-pointers made per game, 14.6 steals per game, and a 10.11 turnover margin. The Hornets are averaging 3.4 more 3-pointers and 1.9 more steals than any other team in the nation. The squad also ranks second in the NCAA with 89.6 points per game, is 12th with 18.8 assists per game, and is 13th with a 1.29 assist to turnover ratio. Sacramento State leads the Big Sky in all of those categories, other than assist to turnover ratio, as well as offensive rebounds (17.6 ORPG)
Passing All Passers
With four assists against Northern Colorado on Jan. 25 Sacramento State junior point guard Fantasia Hilliard broke the all-time program record with her 454th career assist. She tied the record with three assists in the first half and broke it at the 13:32 mark of the second half, assisting on a layup by Margaret Huntington that gave the Hornets a game-high 12-point lead. Heather Baker had owned the record since completing her Sacramento State career in 1993 and was in attendance as Hilliard surpassed her total. Hilliard totaled 184 assists last season, bettering Baker's previous single-season school record of 160, and is on pace to surpass that number again this season. Her current assist total stands 13th in Big Sky history with still another season to play, and she ranks eighth in the NCAA this year with 6.8 assists per game.
Broken Record(s)
Sacramento State re-broke its third Big Sky single game record of the season against Weber State last Saturday, breaking conference records with 111 points and 215 combined points in the contest. The Hornets had already broken both records with 110 points and 214 combined points against North Dakota, which surpassed the 109 points Idaho scored against Portland State in 1986 as the highest scoring game in conference history. The Hornets have also surpassed single game conference records this season in 3-pointers made and attempted.
Playing Shorthanded
The Hornets may have to play the rest of the 2013-14 season without three key players as senior Se'Nyce Parrish and juniors Andrea Chenier and Shanti Smith are all out indefinitely. Parrish started the Hornets' season opener but played in just two games before getting hurt, while Chenier averaged 10.0 points and a Big Sky-best 2.9 steals per game in 13 games before her injury. Smith missed her first two games of the season last week and was averaging 9.7 points per game with 26 three-pointers and a team-high 13 blocks.
Return to the Road
Sacramento State played six of its first eight Big Sky games on its home floor but has eight of the final 14 conference games away from Sacramento. The Hornets are 10-1 at home and average 95.1 points per game on their home floor, but have gone 4-4 on the road scoring 82.1 points per game. The squad shoots 35.5% from 3-point range at home but just 29.3% on the road, making 14.7 threes per game at home and 10.4 in away games. Sacramento State was held to just 53 points and a .273 field goal percentage last week at Idaho State but rebounded with 111 points off 18 three-point makes at Weber State.
Downtown Living
Historic three-point shooting has been the Hornets calling card, as the team has led the nation in 3-pointers made per game throughout the 2013-14 season. The squad has thrice broken the single-game program record in 3-point makes and came within one of the NCAA record against UC Irvine, re-breaking the Big Sky record with 21 3-point makes and 55 3-point attempts. Sacramento State has had 11 different players make at least one three, including eight with 18 or more three-point makes this season. The Hornets have scored 735 of 1,703 total points this season on 3-pointers, as 245 made long balls have accounted for 43.2% of the team's points while just 37.6% of the total points have come on 2-point shots. The NCAA record for 3-pointers made per game in a season is 10.7 and Sacramento State is currently averaging 12.9.
Sacramento Stealers
Sacramento State leads the NCAA with 14.6 steals per game and has had more steals than its opponent in 16 games this season. The team has also recorded double-digit steals in all but three games this year and broke the single-game program record with 26 steals against San Diego State. For the season the Hornets are +147 in steal margin (277-130) and as a result have also had fewer turnovers than their opponent in all but one game this year.
To Every Season Turn, Turn, Turn
Over the last three seasons Sacramento State improved its turnover margin from -3.1 to +1.8 to +3.8, and this season that number has skyrocketed. The Hornets now lead the NCAA at +20.11 in turnover margin, leading the Big Sky by 6.9 per game. The margin has enabled the Hornets to attempt 11.8 more shots per game than their opponents, and the squad is +211 this year in points off turnovers (477-266). The team has scored 28.0% of its total points this season off of opponent giveaways with a season-best 48-17 edge against NAU and a 37-7 advantage at UC Davis. Sacramento State also ranks second in the Big Sky and is 13th in the nation in assist to turnover ratio (1.29).
Rank and File
Sacramento State has ranked as high as No. 13 this season in the CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25 poll and is No. 18 currently. The Big Sky is one of 23 conferences classified as Mid-Major along with many western conferences including the West Coast Conference (WCC), the Big West Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The Hornets are 11-4 this season against other Mid-Major schools and also have two wins against Mountain West schools (High-Major) and one against the Pac-12 (Major).
Record Breaker
Senior guard Alle Moreno became Sacramento State's all-time leading 3-point shooter on Nov. 10 when she hit her fourth of six 3-point makes against San Diego State. Moreno surpassed the previous career 3-point record of 176 set by former Hornet Kim Sheehy, who concluded her collegiate career in 2007, while she had already established a new record for career 3-point attempts during her junior year. With 215 career 3-pointers to date Moreno is now 6th in Big Sky history. Moreno also became the 11th player in program history to crack the 1,000-point plateau this season when she scored her fourth of 22 points on Dec. 14 against UC Irvine. She is also now just eight assists shy of equaling that program record and last week broke the Big Sky record for career 3-point attempts.
For Starters
Sacramento State has used 14 different starting lineups in 19 games this season and no starting lineup has been used more than twice. The starters for each game are picked from a statistical formula using the individual totals from the previous game, and with 11 different players seeing starts this season the combinations are, barring multiple injuries, almost endless. No Hornet has started every game this year as Fantasia Hilliard and Takara Burse are tied for the team lead with 16 starts apiece.
The Marksman
Freshman Hallie Gennett has been among the best three-point shooters in the nation in just her rookie season. She ranks 25th in the NCAA and leads the Big Sky with 2.95 three-point makes per game, including seven games making five of more 3-point shots. The bulk of Gennett's threes have come in just those seven games, as she hit 41 threes in those games and just 15 threes in the Hornets' 12 other games. Of her 77 made field goals on the season, 56 have been 3-pointers, while 160 of her 198 field goal attempts (80.1%) have come from beyond the arc, where she is shooting 35.0% on the season.
