8.1 Today's global digital economy relies on data being able to flow securely and efficiently across borders.[180] According to the Export Council of Australia, Australia's digital exports were worth around $6 billion in 2017, equivalent to Australia's fourth largest export sector, and this figure is set to grow.[181] At the same time, cross-border data flows are subject to increased concern and scrutiny around the world.[182]
8.2Data flows do not recognise geographical borders, and these data flows have made us more interconnected than ever before. It is therefore essential for international privacy laws to set up appropriate and interoperable frameworks that facilitate the efficient movement of data across borders while providing strong protections for individuals' personal information. Global interoperability does not require all countries to have identical frameworks. Instead, it allows for bridges to be built across frameworks that reflect the cultural, social and legal norms of their society. These bridges should allow data to flow safely and efficiently.
8.3Under the Privacy Act, the framework for cross-border data flows is established in two ways:
- Cross-border disclosures of personal information by APP entities are enabled by APP 8, which relies on an accountability approach.
- The extraterritoriality provisions in s 5B, which set out when the Act will apply to acts or practices engaged in outside Australia and the external Territories.
8.4This review also presents an opportunity to consider how Australia can facilitate the safe and efficient disclosure of personal information from overseas entities to entities based in Australia. Many of the cross-border disclosure mechanisms in global privacy laws allow data to be transferred to other jurisdictions with comparable privacy protections. It is therefore important to consider the ways in which the Privacy Act can be reformed to facilitate this. The role of 'adequacy' status and certification are considerations here.
8.5The accountability approach, extraterritoriality and adequacy are discussed further below. Certification is discussed in Part 7 of this submission, above.
The accountability approach
48. What are the benefits and disadvantages of the current accountability approach to cross-border disclosures of personal information?
a. Are APP8 and section 16C still appropriately framed?
8.6The Privacy Act creates a framework for the cross-border disclosure of personal information through the operation of APP 8 and s 16C. The framework generally requires an APP entity to ensure that an overseas recipient will handle an individual's personal information in accordance with the APPs and makes the APP entity accountable if the overseas recipient mishandles the information.[183]
8.7This accountability approach reflects a central object of the Privacy Act to facilitate the free flow of information across national borders while ensuring that the privacy of individuals is respected.[184] Personal information is protected because it requires the disclosing APP entity to take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to the information.[185] The APP entity also remains accountable for acts or practices done by the overseas recipient.[186] This approach gives substance to the general principle of accountability by ensuring that individuals have a meaningful way of seeking redress under the Privacy Act against the disclosing APP entity.
8.8APP 8.2 establishes some exceptions to the requirement in APP 8.1 and to the accountability provision in s 16C. For example, an APP entity may disclose personal information to an overseas recipient without complying with APP 8.1 where:
- The APP entity reasonably believes that the overseas recipient is subject to a law or binding scheme that has the effect of protecting the information in a way that is substantially similar to the APPs, and individuals can access mechanisms to enforce those protections.
- The APP entity expressly informs an individual that if they consent to the disclosure, this principle will not apply, and the individual then consents to the disclosure.
8.9APP 8 only applies to cross border disclosures of personal information. That is, it applies to circumstances in which an APP entity has released the personal information from its effective control. APP 8 does not cover circumstances in which an APP entity 'uses' personal information overseas, that is, where it handles, or undertakes an activity with the personal information, within the entity's effective control. For example, routing personal information, in transit, through servers located outside Australia, would usually be considered a 'use'. In these instances, the APP entity would still remain accountable for any breach of the APPs against the information it 'uses' overseas, as it is still considered to 'hold' the personal information and is thus subject to the Privacy Act.
8.10 The OAIC considers that the accountability approach established by APP 8 and s 16C remains an appropriate way of enabling personal information to flow overseas, whilst ensuring there are meaningful redress mechanisms available to Australians. This is an important mechanism to ensure that individuals' personal information is still protected in situations where the Privacy Act may not have extraterritorial jurisdiction.
8.11The Privacy Act review presents an important opportunity to consult with businesses to understand how they operationalise cross-border disclosures in their business activities. For example, there may be some businesses that are currently not subject to the Privacy Act who are nonetheless disclosing personal information overseas. These businesses may be required to comply with the privacy laws of other jurisdictions, whilst not having obligations to Australians' whose personal information they are handling. The OAIC's recommendation 27 to remove the small business exemption would address this inconsistency.
8.12 The review may also wish to consider whether additional legislated transfer mechanisms that are found in other global privacy laws should be introduced into legislation to assist businesses in complying with the requirements under APP 8. Three examples of these mechanisms, discussed in more detail below, are:
- Contractual safeguards
- Certification
- 'Adequacy' or whitelists
Contractual safeguards
8.13 One way that APP entities can comply with APP 8.1 is through a contractual agreement that requires the overseas recipient to comply with the APPs. These contractual arrangements provide substance to the accountability approach by ensuring that the APP entity has an enforceable arrangement to require the overseas recipient to comply with the APPs. Contractual arrangements are widely recognised across the EU and Asian frameworks as a valid means for an organisation to discharge their obligations under privacy legislation.[187]
8.14 Many jurisdictions have developed model clauses, or standard contractual clauses to facilitate cross border data flows. Under New Zealand's reformed Privacy Act, personal information may be disclosed overseas once a due diligence process establishes that certain privacy standards are met. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner New Zealand has published model clauses that assist entities in meeting these obligations.
8.15 It may be appropriate to consider whether Australia should develop model clauses for disclosing APP entities to use in complying with APP 8.1. The OAIC recommends that such model clauses remain a tool to support an APP entity's accountability under APP 8.1, as opposed to an exception to accountability under APP 8.2.
8.16 The recent decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (the Schrems Decision) has highlighted the importance of entities being able to satisfy themselves that the receiving entity is able to comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses in a way which provides meaningful equivalent protections.[188] The Schrems Decision established that where transfers are being made under Article 46, EU based entities must also take due account of the surrounding environment in which transferred data is subject to and make an assessment as to whether the implemented safeguards provide an equivalent standard of protection in reality. In particular, the Schrems Decision places the onus on data controllers, exporters and importers to:
- assess the laws and practices of third country jurisdictions, with regard to powers that enable public authorities to access EU citizens' data, before a transfer of data from the EU to a third country is made
- determine whether supplementary measures need to be in place, in addition Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure protection meets the EU standard.
8.17 Implications from the Schrems Decision suggest that organisations may need to implement additional supplementary measures, beyond Standard Contractual Clauses, to satisfy themselves that the data is protected to an essentially equivalent standard. This decision will have implications for EU entities wishing to transfer personal information to Australia (discussed further in the Adequacy section below), but the Privacy Act review should also consider whether APP entities relying on an exception under APP 8.2 should similarly be required to take account of the broader environmental context into which they are disclosing personal information.
Certification schemes
8.18 Many international frameworks provide for certifications as a transfer mechanism.[189] Certification schemes are likely provided for under the APP 8.2(a) exception, where the certification has a binding effect, and provides mechanisms for individuals to seek redress.
8.19 Certification schemes present an opportunity for global interoperability if multiple jurisdictions were to recognise the same certification scheme as a valid transfer mechanism. If this was to occur, certification schemes could act as a bridge connecting different regional frameworks.
8.20 The APEC CBPR is operational and has the potential to provide this. However, the lack of business uptake has limited its success.[190] Australia was endorsed as a participating economy in 2018. The review presents an opportunity for Government to consult businesses to determine whether CBPR certification would assist entities in complying with APP 8. The OAIC recommends that the CBPR Program Requirements be carefully assessed to determine whether they satisfy the APP 8.2(a) requirement of 'protecting in information in a way that, overall, is at least substantially similar to the way in which the APPs protect the information'.[191]
8.21 Certification is discussed further in Part 7 of this submission.
'Adequacy' or whitelists
8.22 One of the exceptions in APP 8.2 is where information is subject to a law with substantially similar protections.[192] Currently, Australian businesses are required to make this assessment based on their own due diligence. It may assist APP entities, if the Australian Government were to establish a whitelist of countries that satisfy the requirements of APP 8.2(a).
8.23 The OAIC notes the European experience of creating 'adequacy' lists, which suggests that there are practical difficulties in establishing such a list. EU Adequacy Decisions have been subject to long and costly negotiations. To date, only 12 countries have received an Adequacy Decision from the EU Commission.
8.24If the Australian Government were to develop a whitelist, it would be important to give due consideration to the available mechanisms for an individual to enforce protection as required under APP 8.2(a)(ii). The Schrems Decision draws attention to the need to consider the broader legal frameworks and practices that the receiving country's privacy framework is subject to in order to accurately assess whether an equivalent standard of protection is reached. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield as a mechanism for transferring data between the EU and the US.[193] The CJEU found that the ability of US public authorities to access personal data were not sufficiently limited or subject to effective redress mechanisms made available to data subjects. As such, the CJEU found that the EU Commission's Adequacy Decision in relation to the EU-US Privacy Shield disregarded the requirements of providing an adequate level of protection required under the GDPR and the rights established under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
8.25 This Decision highlights the importance of maintaining contemporary privacy frameworks and actively monitoring legal and cultural developments that might impact the effectiveness of data protection standards.
Recommendation 46 Consider whether additional legislated transfer mechanisms could enhance the APP 8 accountability approach. These could include:
- Contractual safeguards (to support an APP entity's accountability under APP 8.1, rather than an exception to accountability under APP 8.2)
- Certification
- 'Adequacy' or whitelists
Extraterritorial application of the Act
49. Is the exception to extraterritorial application of the Act in relation to acts or practices required by an applicable foreign law still appropriate?
8.26 Section 5B of the Privacy Act establishes the extraterritorial reach of the Act. In particular, the Privacy Act will extend to an act done or practice engaged in outside Australia by an organisation that has an Australian link. One way of establishing that an organisation has an Australian link is if the organisation carries on business in Australia (s 5B(3)(b)) and collected or held the personal information in Australia at the time of the breach (s 5B(3)(c)).
8.27 It should be noted that an act or practice of an organisation done or engaged in outside Australia and an external Territory will not be an interference with the privacy of an individual if the act or practice is required by an applicable law of a foreign country (s 13D). The review may wish to consider if this provision is remains fit for purpose.
8.28 As the Issues Paper notes, the extraterritorial application of the Act is intended to capture multinational corporations based overseas with offices in Australia, as well as entities with an online presence, but no physical presence in Australia. An increasing number of the matters being considered by the Commissioner present factual situations that enliven s 5B(3) of the Privacy Act.
8.29 Large multinational companies often provide services to Australian customers through an entity in the corporate group located overseas. Often, the personal information collected from those customers by the original company is transferred to other company group members in different overseas jurisdictions for processing and storage. Such transfers are generally permitted by s 13B of the Privacy Act. When a breach of the Privacy Act occurs, there could potentially be multiple companies within the multinational group involved, in different locations and performing different functions.
8.30Similarly, foreign businesses may collect and trade in data about Australians but may not collect Australians' information directly from Australia. They may collect personal information from a digital platform that does not have servers in Australia. When a breach of the Privacy Act occurs, a threshold issue will be to establish that these businesses collect or hold personal information in Australia.
8.31 It can be resource intensive to establish jurisdiction under s 5B(3), particularly against motivated and well-resourced international companies. The OAIC therefore considers that there are opportunities for the extraterritorial operation of the Privacy Act to be enhanced, to more effectively address the privacy risks posed to Australians by overseas companies.
8.32 It is particularly important to ensure that there is certainty about the entities that the Privacy Act applies to in light of the proposed online platforms code, which will apply to social media services, data brokerage companies and other entities that trade in personal information.
8.33 The OAIC has identified options for potential reform of the extraterritorial operation of the Privacy Act, which we consider could address the issues raised above. The OAIC recommends that the Privacy Act review consider these options further:
- Remove the requirement in s 5B(3)(c) for the information to have been collected or held in Australia be removed, and instead the collection or holding of information could be considered an indicator of 'carrying on a business in Australia' (discussed further below). The effect of removing this provision would be that the Commissioner would only need to establish that a foreign company carries on business in Australia. This would generally align with the extra-territorial operation of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth),[194] and would be closer to the extraterritorial operation of the New Zealand Privacy Act.
- Amend s 5B(3) to refer to particular indicators of 'carrying on business in Australia' for the purposes of the Privacy Act. For example, an entity is considered to be 'carrying on business in Australia' if the entity collects and/or holds personal information about an individual who is located in Australia. Additionally, some of the elements in the Explanatory Memorandum to the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Bill 2012 could be elevated into s 5B(3) as indicators. For example, the Explanatory Memorandum says 'a collection is taken to have occurred "in Australia" where an individual is physically located in Australia or an external Territory, and information is collected from that individual via a website, and the website is hosted outside of Australia, and owned by a foreign company that is based outside of Australia and that is not incorporated in Australia. It is intended that, for the operation of paragraphs 5B(3)(b) and (c) of the Privacy Act, entities such as those described above who have an online presence (but no physical presence in Australia), and collect personal information from people who are physically in Australia, carry on a "business in Australia or an external Territory".'
- To address the issue of disclosures within a corporate group, where the recipient entity is not covered by the Privacy Act, the review could consider extending the extra-territorial operation of the Privacy Act to a body corporate that has collected Australians' personal information from a related body corporate to which s 5B(3) applies (irrespective of whether it carries on business in Australia in its own right). This approach appears to be consistent with the intention with the note in s 13B of the Privacy Act, which indicates that related bodies corporate that receive personal information from a related entity should be covered by the Privacy Act.
8.34The OAIC considers that the extraterritoriality provisions in s 4 of the new Privacy Act 2020 (NZ) provide a good model for reform of the Privacy Act. The NZ Act builds on the Australian extraterritoriality framework with some of the clarifications or additions proposed above, for example:
- Section 4(1)(b) says the NZ Act applies to an overseas entity (B) 'in relation to any action taken by B in the course of carrying on business in New Zealand in respect of personal information collected or held by B.'
- Section 4(2)(a) and (b) of the NZ Act clarify that it does not matter where the personal information was collected or held by the agency in order for it be carrying on business in New Zealand (in contrast to s 5B(3)(c) of the Australian Privacy Act).
- Section 4(3) of the NZ Act clarifies that certain elements do not have to be present in order for an entity to be treated as carrying on business in New Zealand, for example, it does not have to have a place of business in New Zealand (section 4(3)(a)) or receive any monetary payment for the supply of goods or services (section 4(3)(c)).
Recommendation 47 Amend the Privacy Act to address issues with the extraterritoriality of the Act, including:
- Remove the requirement in s 5B(3)(c) for the information to have been collected or held in Australia be removed, and instead the collection or holding of information could be considered an indicator of 'carrying on a business in Australia'.
- Amend s 5B(3) to refer to particular indicators of 'carrying on business in Australia' for the purposes of the Privacy Act.
- Extend the extraterritorial operation of the Privacy Act to a body corporate that has collected Australians' personal information from a related body corporate to which s 5B(3) applies (irrespective of whether it carries on business in Australia in its own right).
52. What would be the benefits or disadvantages of Australia seeking adequacy under the GDPR?
8.35 Many international privacy frameworks prohibit the flow of personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide a sufficient level of protection. It is therefore important to ensure that Australia's privacy framework does not fall behind international standards in order to support Australian businesses competitive participation in the global digital economy.
8.36 Across the globe, the GDPR is considered a high standard of data protection, and many jurisdictions that are introducing privacy legislation for the first time are looking to the GDPR as a model. However, Australia has a well-established privacy framework, which is a product of our culture and norms. A formal EU Adequacy Decision does not require Australia's framework to be a mirror of the GDPR. Instead, a formal EU Adequacy Decision recognises that Australia provides a comparable level of protection.[195]
8.37 Many of the OAIC's recommendations throughout this submission support the interoperability of the Privacy Act with global privacy laws, including the GDPR, and assist Australian entities to satisfy their global counterparts that Australia's privacy framework provides similar levels of coverage and protection. For example, the OAIC's recommendations 27, 28 and 29 to extend the Privacy Act to small businesses, employee records and political parties would assist in demonstrating comparability and in efforts to achieve an EU Adequacy Decision, should the Australian Government decide to seek this.[196]
8.38 A formal EU Adequacy Decision may also elevate the international perception of Australia's privacy framework and assist in establishing Australia's framework as providing an adequate level of protection, and thus being interoperable, with jurisdictions beyond the EU. This may have an added benefit in assisting other countries that are evaluating Australia's privacy framework.
8.39 Regardless of whether Australia seeks an Adequacy Decision, EU entities transferring data to Australian entities will need to satisfy themselves that the transferred data is subject to an essentially equivalent level of protection in Australia. This was highlighted in the Schrems Decision, which found that where an EU entity was relying on Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46 of the GDPR, they must consider the broader environment of the overseas recipient, and the impact that might have on their ability to provide essentially equivalent protections.[197] The Schrems Decision is likely to have implications for the international flow of data because it requires a rigorous assessment of not just the privacy frameworks, but also the broader cultural environment that the transferred data is subject to, in order to determine whether essentially equivalent protections are provided. A formal EU Adequacy Decision would alleviate the need for EU and Australian entities to take further steps in assessing the effectiveness of the Article 46 GDPR transfer tool being used and considering whether additional safeguards are needed. [198]
8.40The importance of ensuring that Australia's Privacy Act is interoperable with global privacy laws therefore goes beyond the formal processes for seeking adequacy under the GDPR. As different approaches are adopted around the world, it is important that Australia's domestic frameworks remain interoperable, so that data can flow across borders whilst also protecting personal information.
Challenges of implementing the CBPR System in Australia
50. What (if any) are the challenges of implementing the CBPR system in Australia?
8.41As noted in the Certification section in Part 7 of this submission, the OAIC supports the introduction of an independent third-party certification scheme. Privacy certification schemes have a role to play in facilitating overseas transfers of personal information. An independent certification mechanism could also significantly increase the transparency of organisations' data practices
8.42The APEC CBPR System operates as a regional certification scheme and requires certified businesses to demonstrate compliance with a commonly understood set of privacy standards. The APEC Joint Oversight Panel of the Data Privacy Subgroup endorsed Australia's application to participate in the CBPR System in 2018.
8.43 The Issues Paper notes that one way of incorporating the CBPR system requirements into Australian law is through a code developed under Part IIIB of the Act.
8.44 As outlined in more detail in Part 3, there are certain limitations with the existing APP code framework under Part IIIB. In relation to the CBPR system, the development of a code would require the Commissioner to identify a code developer, who would then be responsible for developing the code and ensuring that it adequately gives effect to the requirements of the CBPR system. The code developer must also ensure that appropriate consultation takes place with relevant stakeholders, including the public and the OAIC. A CBPR code would need to apply to a broad range of entities across the economy, making it challenging to identify a code developer that is representative of the entities that the code would cover.
8.45The OAIC's Recommendation 14 to provide the Commissioner with the power to develop an APP code in the first instance would enable the OAIC to have leadership over the development of a CBPR code and ensure that it fully and adequately gives effect to the requirements of the CBPR system.

Certification is also provided for in a number of Asian countries, according to the Asian Business Law Institute, certification is explicitly provided for in Japan, Singapore, and in the amended legislation of New Zealand. It is further implicit in Philippines and Thailand. For now, such an admission is unclear but conceivable in the laws of Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and the Data Protection Bill of Indonesia. It is also conceivable, although more remotely, in the Data Protection Bill of India.

A singer whose music has gone viral in TikTok used recordings made in in the quiet Staffordshire village where she lives - and its now been heard by more than half a million people worldwide.
Maya Yenn, 27, first took up music when she was a child, and started writing songs when she was 15. She used recordings made around her home village of Alrewas, such as scraping rails and the sounds from All Saints' Church in the village, to make her beat. Now her musical piece incorporating the recorded sounds has had 500,000 views and 15,000 likes worldwide.
She has now taken the piece and released her debut single called Tiptoe, which she describes as a "haunting and creepy tune about anxiety", wither her sound inspired by artists such as American singer Billie Eilish and Icelandic artist Björk.
The singer-songwriter said: "I think first it was when I was a kid, my mum bought my dad a rickety old piano and I started writing songs on it when I was 15.
"I went to a songwriting group in Lichfield called Class Act, which was a way to get teenagers to write songs, and it has inspired me ever since.
"The band that inspired me then the most, and still inspires me now is Radiohead.
"I was born in the same year they released Creep, and as I have grown up, they've released albums such as OK Computer and Kid A. I'm constantly inspired by their eclectic ability to adapt."
She used to live in London but is now back living in Alrewas.
"I moved out to London for work purposes and I had been playing in some pubs when I was out there but I have come back to Alrewas since the start of the pandemic and lockdown boredom was what inspired me to start properly making music, and that's where the spooky beat came from, she said.
To compile her beat, Maya recorded twigs snapping, a candle being blown out, a pumpkin landing on a table, and the sound of a stick being dragged across railings and the church bells in the village.
She added: "I made the beat using 'field recordings' of just anything out there; twigs snapping, a candle being blown out and just general sounds around the village and in the countryside.
"I uploaded the video to TikTok and it just snowballed. I was blown away by the reception that it got.
"After this, I decided to write some lyrics to go with it, and that was what would eventually mutate into Tiptoe."
Maya added that the song, which is now available on all streaming platforms, deals with anxiety and the fear of your own failures. she is also making a video to go with it.
She said: "I have been dealing with anxiety and I came up with the idea for the story, asking what if your anxiety and insecurity were personified?
"I liked the idea that you were being chased by anxiety as this faceless, blank demon, and I'm inspired by singers like Björk or Billie Eilish; they are really where this song came from.
"The community on TikTok has really received it well and the way people interact with each other and give feedback is so much nicer than it would be on something like YouTube or Facebook.
"The song comes from the most authentic place and I am really pleased with how it has turned out."
Now, the singer-songwriter has spoken about how she wants to make a career out of music and cannot wait to get back to gigging.
She added: "I ideally want to find a way to make a career out of music. I have three more releases planned, plus a music video for Tiptoe, which will feature me as the anxiety demon.
"When I write songs, I always like to think about them in colours, so for Tiptoe, it was lilac and ultramarine. I find that I have to have an image in mind.
"I was living in London before the pandemic. I would gig; every live show requires a huge amount of prep and practice.
"The last year has been difficult, but one of the best things is that I have had extra time to create. I do miss the shows but not the prep stress.
"I love playing in smaller venues and I am definitely looking forward to live music. I think now having put out my debut single, I can really get things moving. I'm not in a rush because the virus is still about, but things are on the up.
"I'll just keep writing and keep going."

Opinion: Not everything important in education can be measured
We're now in our seventieth year of national crisis. "Society is in peril of imminent collapse unless we do something about education," is the mantra. It would seem that if we had an "imminent" crisis a lifetime ago, something bad would have happened by now. While doomsayers can go back to the Mayan calendar, we can start with the 1950s with Admiral Rickover attacking the "myth of American educational superiority" and unfavorably comparing the United States to other nations.
He proclaimed education as "our first line of defense." This was followed by the "Nation at Risk" report in 1983, which proclaimed that our schools were besieged "by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people." Unfavorable test score comparisons and military metaphors remain popular with the reformers. These prognostications failed to come true.
Perhaps, the reformers got it wrong.
Attributed to Einstein, "Everything that can be measured is not important and everything important cannot be measured." In focusing on what is easily measured, rather than what is important, we fail to grasp the real problem. To be sure, tests measure reading and math reasonably well and we need to keep tests for that purpose. But that's only one part of education. Schools also teach children to get along with others, prepare young people for citizenship, encourage creativity, teach job and human skills, integrate communities, teach tolerance and co-operation, and generally prepare students to be contributing members of society. These things are not so easily measured.
Even if we limit ourselves to test scores, as a society, we misread them. That is, the low scores are strongly affected by circumstances outside the schools. Children coming from violent, economically challenged and drug addicted homes, as a group are not going to do as well as their more fortunate classmates. As the family income gap between children has widened, the achievement gap has also widened.
A Stanford professor compared all the school districts in the nation using six different measures of socio-economic well being and found that a stunning 70 percent of test scores could be predicted by these six factors. When the PARCC tests, which are used to test "college and career readiness," were compared with freshman grade point average, the tests only predicted between one and 16 percent of the GPA. What this means is that the tests do a better job of measuring socio-economic status than measuring schools.
This pattern has been solidly and consistently confirmed by a mountain of research since the famous Coleman report in 1966. It pointed to family and social problems rather than schools. So what did we do? We collected more data. We now have "data dash-boards." Countless ads on the web tout this lucrative market and proclaim how people can "drill down" create interactive charts and visuals to provide "deep learning."
They display all manner of things such as differences by ethnic group, technical education, graduation rate and a myriad of exotic esoterica. By all means, we need to continue to collect this important data. The problem is that we already know what the dashboard tells us. What it doesn't tell us is the nature of the real problems and how to correct them.
First, we must look to those things outside the school that affect school performance. Second, in addition to hard data, we must use on-the-ground observations to see whether we provide legitimate opportunities to all children, whether the school is warm and inviting, and whether the curriculum is up to date and well delivered.
By concentrating only on the easily measurable, we squeeze the life out of schools. We devalue, deemphasize and defund things that lead to a better life, better schools and a better civilization.
Finally, it misses the most essential point. Parents want their children to grow and lead productive, happy lives and contribute to society. They want their children to practice civic virtue and have loving relationships. But these things are not easily measured by a test. "Everything that can be measured is not important and everything important cannot be measured."

I live a rather vegetarian lifestyle in the sense that I never prepare meat at home… when it comes to fish, on the other hand, I do enjoy my 'guilty pleasures' once in a while, usually with a whole fish in my frying pan or in the oven, yummy! And to enjoy them even more, I go downtown to buy the very best quality. Tel is a fish trader in the harbour of IJmuiden and they deliver the fresh catch every morning to their little branch in Amsterdam.
Bream, mackerel, Salmon, trout, clams, lobster, crabs… they've got it all. Tell them you're having sashimi tonight and they'll give you even better quality, 100% trustworthy! And what comes with it is the cynical, somewhat grumpy talk of the guys – I know that's a matter of taste but I do enjoy their style and they definitely never mean to offend anybody 🙂 Situated right next to Nieuwmarkt.

The Atlanta Hawks fell to 0-2 on a Friday evening, succumbing to the Memphis Grizzlies by a final score of 124-113.
"Uncle" Vince Carter started off the night on the right foot for the Hawks with this sick sidestep three pointer, but after that things went downhill quickly for Atlanta.
Too smooth. pic.twitter.com/LCDNDMfPAW
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 20, 2018
Several minutes later in the first quarter, as the Hawks were already in a hole, Trae Young gave fans something to smile about with this smooth pick and roll drop off to Alex Len for the easy jam.
Goin' on you with the pick & roll pic.twitter.com/Su06SNcMex
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 20, 2018
It was apparent in the first quarter that the Hawks will miss the versatility that John Collins and Dewayne Dedmon bring to the team while they recover on the shelf. Atlanta's scoring output was decent in the first quarter, but you cant allow 37 points and feel good about it.
The second quarter wasn't much better. but at least DeAndre' Bembry attempted some defense, right?
DeAndre' said nuh uh. pic.twitter.com/1btXejve9x
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 20, 2018
In fact, that play might have been the only defense played in the second quarter that saw the Hawks allow 40 more points to get the Grizzlies to 77 total for the first half. It's been repeated steadily on this website that this Hawks team might be one of the worst defensive units in Atlanta history, but things are looking even worse than expected as of now. Atlanta was able to keep themselves in contention with 61 points of their own in the first half, but being down 16 at the half isn't ideal.
Apparently, Coach Pierce got his players' attention at halftime because the defensive intensity in the third quarter was noticeably higher.
"Look at that volleyball spike block."
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 20, 2018
But really. pic.twitter.com/2vCIJ1X5ap
For their effort on defense, the effort on offense was lost outside of a few good looking plays like this Kevin Huerter drop off to Alex Len in the lane.
Feed the man. pic.twitter.com/DSGlcVAwOe
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 20, 2018
The Hawks scratched and clawed in the third, but they still found themselves down 26 at the end of three in Memphis to a Grizzlies team that lost their opener by nearly 30 points.
Atlanta saved their best basketball for the fourth quarter as Taurean Prince and Trae Young got rolling.
The man has 28. pic.twitter.com/nmLw8kKbG0
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 20, 2018
Taurean looks confident in the early going this season which is a good sign for the young Hawks who are actively searching for a leader among their younger players.
The Hawks only allowed 18 points in the fourth quarter while scoring 31, but sadly, the hole they dug earlier in the game was too deep to get out of as Atlanta went on to lose by an 11-point margin.
Trae Young finished a stellar performance with 20 points and 9 assists, just missing out on his first career double-double.
Taurean Prince finished with 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists while doing a little of everything for Atlanta.
The Hawks will be back in action on Sunday night in Cleveland for an early evening matchup with the Cavaliers. Stay tuned.

Submitted by xengo on
I have been working as a Technical Lead for almost 2.5 years and I have aspirations to become a Manager. This is the goal that I have set to myself to achieve by 2016. I was working with one team earlier where I was the tech lead. Currently I'm the Tech Lead for 2 different teams where I work with close to 10 resources. The team size in my company is very small(~ 2-5 member team). Both the teams I work with has a Manager. And I'm the shared Tech lead between both the teams. The plan to make me the Tech lead for 2 teams came ine when they thought I multi-task very well and my potential can be used across teams I work with.
One of my team's manager keeps complaining that the sharing of the Tech lead is not working and has been giving me ideas that I should not take up additional responsibilities and just focus on her team's work. He was used to seeing me work full time on her project earlier and he thinks sharing the lead has made my contributions lower than before.
My other team's manager thinks there is enough budget and both the projects will be led by me and I will have resources whom I will work with and also contribute as much as possible, Also this team is helping me to grow in the Management role by giving me tasks like budgeting, coordination, more delegation and other management level activities.
How should I deal with my other Manager who keeps bringing up the topic that sharing isnt working? Why is he not giving me any potential to grow? All his tasks are related maintenance and bug fixes which I had been doing for the last 6 years. Why is he asking me not to take additional responsibilities and just stick to bug fixing? I have communicated my aspirations and goals to both my managers.
I want to create an amicable atmosphere where both my managers are happy and I progress as well. I want to understand if there are issues in my end and be prepared to face consequences. I also want to achieve what I deserve. I dont want to shadowed or kept in the dark for a long time when I have a chance to grow. I dont want to kill myself by working 200% (100% on each team) which is practically impossible. What would you do if you were my shoe? Your suggestions will help me think in a perspective I'm missing.
What does "not working" mean?
When manager #1 says the shared arrangement is not working, what does she mean? Are deadlines being missed, other targets not being hit, are you just not there when they want you to be? If there's a legitimate gap in performance due to the sharing arrangement, those need to be addressed.

Circuit board design, often referred to as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design, is the process of creating the layout and interconnections of electronic components on a board. It's essential because it determines the functionality, performance, and reliability of electronic devices.
The key elements of circuit board design include selecting components, arranging them on the board, creating electrical connections (traces), adding power and ground planes, and incorporating design rules for manufacturability.
Several software tools are popular for circuit board design, including Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad, and Cadence Allegro, among others. These tools offer features for schematic capture, PCB layout, and design rule checking.

Up and down the Kennebec Valley: The story of Independence Day (new)
KV HISTORY — According to Wikipedia, celebrating Independence Day on July 4 each year is most likely an error. The writer of the on-line site's article on this national holiday says that the Second Continental Congress, meeting in a closed session, approved Virginia representative Richard Henry Lee's resolution declaring the United States independent of Great Britain on July 2, 1776… by Mary Grow

Up and down the Kennebec Valley: Windsor's Colburn family
WINDSOR HISTORY — Exceptionally attentive readers with exceptionally good memories might remember that Francisco Colburn was one of the commanders of Windsor's Marcellus Vining GAR Post in the 1880s. Marcellus is not a typical Maine name, to be sure – presumably his classically-educated parents named him after the Roman Marcus Claudius Marcellus (42 – 23 B.C.). But for some reason, your writer was struck by Francisco, and began wondering why a couple in Windsor, Maine, in the 1830s would choose that name for their son… by Mary Grow

Avelo Airlines has terminated services from Burbank (BUR) to Tucson (TUS), effective Monday, January 17, 2022. The last flight will take place on Sunday, January 16, 2022. Having cut the route from Burbank to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) in August 2021, this leaves the airline with no more connections in Arizona.
Rumors had been circulating that the route would be cut, due largely to the latest wave of COVID-19 in the United States caused by the Omicron variant. In a statement to AeroXplorer, the airline wrote, "It's unfortunate that this step is necessary so close to the inauguration of this route, but no one saw the Omicron variant of Covid or its impact on this route coming when we announced it last September. The demand hasn't materialized after the holidays, which we believe was compounded by the surge in the Omicron variant that is negatively impacting travel demand across the airline industry."
The airline also wrote, "One of Avelo's greatest assets is our ability to be smart, fast and flexible in our decision making. This includes acting quickly when we see opportunities. It also means striking decisively when things aren't working out the way we anticipated."
While Avelo will stop flying to the Grand Canyon State for now, things are certainly looking up for the airline. In an announcement released on January 6, 2022, Avelo Airlines raised $42 million in the latest round of funding, raising the total capital base to over $160 million. In addition, with the opening of its new route between New Haven Tweed (HVN) to Sarasota-Bradenton (SRQ) - the airline's 6th destination in Florida, the new year is off to a good start for Avelo Airlines. We can definitely look forward to seeing how Avelo Airlines will grow and what it will bring to the table in 2022.

text: LES BONNES FEMMES Director: CLAUDE CHABROL FRANCE 1960 SUBTITLED BLACK AND WHITE 35MM 105 MIN Book cinema tickets Claude Chabrol made one of the earliest nouvelle vague films (Le beau Serge, 1958), but Les bonnes femmes, his fourth feature, is not only his first masterpiece but one of the finest French films of the 1960s. Misunderstood at the time of its release, when it was accused of excessive cynicism and bad taste, the film's story of the lives, loves and dreams of three Parisian shop assistants serves as a framework for presenting not only a sharply jaundiced view of ordinary Paris and ordinary Parisians, but also a bleak vision of the city as Hell. The unifying theme of the film is the discrepancy between dream and reality, the inability of the young women's environment to provide a means of realising their ill-defined yearnings. The women (beautifully played by Bernadette Lafont, Stephane Audran and Clotilde Joano) escape the boredom of their lives in different ways: one in a bourgeois marriage, one in relentless partying, and one in a doomed affair with a killer. Strangely tender and bizarrely funny, the film has compassion for its characters but mocks their tawdry dreams. Director: CLAUDE CHABROL FRANCE 1960 SUBTITLED BLACK AND WHITE 35MM 105 MIN
