The Eight Best Concerts in New York This Weekend, 5/15/15
The Feelies
By Doug Seymour
For more shows throughout the weekend, check out our New York Concert Calendar, which we update daily.
Friday, 5/15 Polaris Highline Ballroom 7 p.m., $33 A run of The Adventures of Pete & Pete reunion shows featuring cast and crew starting in 2011 saw Polaris play to a live audience for the very first time. The enthusiasm from those shows has since prompted the band's first proper tour across the country, two new songs, a double live album, and a vinyl reissue of the program's soundtrack for Record Store Day (which quickly sold out, leading to back orders on the label's website). "I've just never seen anything like that," Mulcahy says of the vinyl reissue. "If somebody knew how many that everybody wanted, we would have been happy to fill up the stores with however many copies people wanted to order. We just had no idea what to say." It's this kind of astonishment that has defined Polaris's second wind as a band, which Mulcahy sums up as "a complete joyful surprise." — Sean McCabe
Mat Zo Pacha NYC 10:30 p.m., $19–$100 When now 25-year-old DJ/producer Mat Zo got "discovered" by Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats label, he likely didn't know he would become the credible and well-established musical wonderboy he is today. Since his 2013 debut with Damage Control, the grass has only gotten greener for the Londoner. Zo's music is the exact kind Anjuna has come to love: impassioned, melodically alluring, and funky, sometimes all at once. Clearly ready to pursue this seemingly perpetual growth, Zo is kicking off his Pacha NYC summer residency this Friday. "The Residency Launch" will be a solo show featuring all of Zo's signature groovy goodness, and is open to all those 19+. — Eleanor Lambert
Esperanza Spalding Presents: Emily's D+Evolution Le Poisson Rouge 7:30 p.m., $35–$40 "What is the new project?" Esperanza Spalding murmurs thoughtfully when asked what "Emily's D+Evolution" is all about. "It's hard to jump right into describing it. It's a lot of things: It's going back to go forward; it's going back to before anyone ever heard me. So it will be new, even though it's old. It's an old curiosity that's being explored in a new way for me." A simple summation, but an apt one, too. Emily's D+Evolution finds Spalding taking a break from her Grammy-winning adult incarnation and hooking up with Emily, her inner child. Emily is her middle name, and "D+Evolution" refers to the nonsense notion that organized education is the only way to learn anything. 18+. — Linda Laban

Matt and Kim Terminal 5 8 p.m. A few adjectives that come to mind when considering a Matt & Kim show: exuberant, joyous, exhilarating, smile-inducing, and, well, a whole lot of fun. The Brooklyn pop duo of vocalist and keyboardist Matt Johnson and drummer Kim Schifino are known for their legendary live sets as well as memorable videos (the couple running naked through Times Square in "Lessons Learned," anyone?), and in honor of Matt & Kim's latest album, New Glory, the group is playing a hot-ticket show at Terminal 5. Though the show is sold out, look for tickets on the secondary market; Waters open. — Jill Menze
Crosby, Stills & Nash Kings Theatre Friday & Saturday, 8 p.m. Folk-rock legends Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young released their CSNY 2014 almost one year ago, equipped with fifty-six songs and eight videos across four CDs and one DVD. Now on their tour, CS&N are coming to Brooklyn sans the Y, still timelessly groovy as true leaders and veterans of rock. Musicians with this extensive a history have watched their audiences transform over the years, from kids waving hands to parents waving cellphones. All that notwithstanding, these three guys continue to attract only the most enthusiastic of dancers (of all ages) and lovers (those with the best of intentions, naturally). After two days in New Jersey, the trio are coming to BK for both Friday and Saturday this weekend, and while the show is sold out, we recommend looking on StubHub. — Eleanor Lambert

Saturday, 5/16 The Feelies The Bell House 8 p.m., $24 The Feelies are an American rock band from Haledon, New Jersey, who offered the world their seminal debut Crazy Rhymes in 1980, but were already ours to enjoy when in '78 the Voice dubbed them "the best underground band in New York." Their success wasn't paved with gold, but rather existed in their tinkering and masterful exploitation of a kind of guitar attack that conjured the punk ethos without shoving it down your throat. Who knows whether we would've had Parquet Courts, jingle pop, the seven-minute punk drawl, and all that without 'em. — Silas Valentino
Sunday, 5/17 Cosmic Gate+Ilan Bluestone Boat Party Pier 83/Circle Line (boat party) and Pacha NYC (after-party) Boat Party: 5 p.m., $24 After-party: 10:30 p.m., $25–$100 A union of OG trance and the boppy "trance 2.0," seasoned DJ/producers Cosmic Gate and wunderkind Bluestone will perform together aboard the Circle Line Cruise. As if that's not enough, Cosmic Gate will then perform a solo show at Pacha for an after-party. All three guys are well versed in the art of elated dance music, and between Cosmic Gate's elemental liveliness and Bluestone's mouthwatering, tugging synths, any EDM fan will be enthralled from start to finish. Cosmic Gate's German-born Claus Terhoeven and Stefan Bossems have been well loved among EDM fans since they began producing in 1998, and have since released six studios albums full of good ol' trance. Ilan Bluestone, hailing from London, has been hurled into EDM's foreground, between seemingly endless features on Above & Beyond's Essential Mixes and Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance. Together, the combination is going to be damn extraordinary...and for Cosmic Gate diehards, catch the solo-show after-party at Pacha, too! — Eleanor Lambert
Invisible Things The Bowery Electric 8 p.m., $8 Like noise-metal demons Lightning Bolt, Chicago/NY supergroup Invisible Things fit neatly into the bizarro world of duo wonders dredging up a sonic din of arena-sized proportions. Converging to produce an unholy racket are a pair of notable scene veterans, guitarist/vocalist Mark Shippy of Chi-town's U.S. Maple and drummer Jim Sykes, formerly of defunct Brooklyn electro-rock outfit Parts & Labor. On Time as One Axis, their brand-new LP released by the ascending New Atlantis label, the twosome go nuclear on sludge-dripping anthems. Noxious chunks evoking the Stooges circa Fun House, Sonic Youthian skronk, and Melvins-like heaviosity are the Invisible Things' lethal recipe for their cerebral and noisy madness. Headlining this evening are Brooklyn locals Voice Coils, whose brainy hybrid of avant-pop, metal, and classical is something to behold. — Brad Cohan

SOUTHWESTERN BELL ADDS TWO NEW VIDEO SERVICES; OFFERINGS BRING ECONOMY, FLEXIBILITY TO BUSINESSES ST. LOUIS, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwestern Bell Telephone made the following announcement today: Video: It's the next best thing to being there. And whether it's a high school Spanish class, a business meeting or a medical consultation, two new video services from Southwestern Bell Telephone -- Business Video Service I and II -- can help schools, hospitals, businesses and other groups at different locations communicate economically with each other face-to-face over telephone lines. Both services, part of Southwestern Bell's growing family of video services, offer point-to-point, two-way compressed videoconferencing. Business Video Service I is provided at a lower transmission rate than Business Video Service II. Business Video Services include the telephone line, which is specifically designed for video transmission. The transmission rates and compression determine the quality of the audio and video. Southwestern Bell is the first Bell Operating Company to offer these types of video services. "Rising travel costs and the increasing emphasis on expense control have forced businesses, governments, hospitals and others to look for alternatives to travel," said Bob Williams, Southwestern Bell's product manager for Business Video Services. "A good alternative is value- priced videoconferencing such as Business Video Services." Videoconferencing lets people in geographically separate locations talk face-to-face via interactive audio and video technology. "Videoconferencing helps customers more faster decisions," Williams added. "It lets them bring together more people with specific expertise who otherwise might be excluded because of travel costs." Both Business Video Services are available on an intraLATA (within a regional calling area) basis. The services also provide access to long distance companies for interLATA (across regional calling area boundaries) service. Southwestern Bell's goal is to provide customers with economically- priced video services, Williams said. To do that, the new Business Video Services are based on the quality of the audio and video channel rather than on capacity or "bandwidth." Customers can choose one of two transmission rates to best suit their video application. Here's how the services are priced: There's a monthly service charge of $805 for Business Video Service I and $910 for Business Video Service II. Interoffice mileage charges where they apply are set at $13 per mile for Business Video Service I and $15 per mile for Business Video Service II. A one-time installation charge of about $1,500 and a 36-month minimum service period also apply. For interLATA video service, customers need to provide compatible- bandwidth software at the terminating point in the other LATA and select a long distance company to transmit the video signal across LATA boundaries. Southwestern Bell can provide intraLATA but not interLATA long distance service. Business Video Services I and II also include a variety of features such as graphics and encryption capabilities. Graphics let customers send and receive charts, artwork and other written material and view it on the TV monitors while the videoconference is in progress. Encryption scrambles the audio and video signals to provide added security during transmission. For an additional charge, customers buying one or both of the video services also will have access to multimedia capabilities such as VCRs and personal computers. Southwestern Bell developed and designed Business Video Services to meet the needs of medium and large business customers, including those in government, education and health care. In education, schools can use video to share teachers by delivering courses electronically, noted Williams. In health care, video can be used for remote psychological and medical diagnosis. And in government, video can be used for court hearings and arraignments. "And there are many uses for video in business including training, contract negotiations, crisis management, executive policy sessions and customer support meetings, to name just a few," Williams said. Southwestern Bell's Business Video Services can help business customers become more productive, improve communications, extend their staff resources, make quicker decisions and reduce travel expenses, too. As a full video systems integrator, Southwestern Bell also offers customers Local Area Video Network services. These services bring businesses a customized, comprehensive approach to integrated video network service and are designed for customers with sophisticated needs. This is how Southwestern Bell's two videoconferencing offerings compare: -- Local Area Video Network -- The equipment and consultation. Includes supplying and installing cameras, TV monitors, speakers and microphones; providing start-to-finish planning and video network design; conducting training; performing maintenance; and managing the video network. --Business Video Services -- The video transmission service. With their payment options, the services make it easier for businesses to acquire videoconferencing capabilities. Business Video Services offer customers two service levels for regular meetings and those involving more intricate learning procedures. "By giving our customers alternatives, they can choose the exact help they need when they need it," explained Williams. Southwestern Bell Telephone is a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwestern Bell Corp. (NYSE: SBC) and provides telecommunications services to more than 9.6 million customers in its five-state region. -0- 7/6/92 NOTE TO EDITORS: B-Roll is available. /CONTACT: Scott Hilgeman of Southwestern Bell, 314-247-4613/ (SBC) CO: Southwestern Bell Telephone ST: Missouri IN: TLS SU: PDT

The colour used by children at Nehru Nagar and Dharavi during Holi celebrations contained the same chemicals, claims the report sent by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to the police.
A 13-year-old boy died and more than 200 children were hospitalised on March 8 due to colour poisoning.
The Nehru Nagar and Dharavi police suspected that the colour was procured from a defunct dye godown in Mahim.
An official from the FSL said: "Samples from both Dharavi and Nehru Nagar had the presence of lead, chromium, nickel, copper, iron and manganese. These chemicals are often found in dyes used in tanneries."
"We know that the same dye was used at both places. However, to say with certainty that it was procured from the same place is difficult," the official added.
An officer said, "One of the children in Nehru Nagar told us that he had procured the colour from Shahu Nagar in Mahim. But we wanted to be sure and hence sent all the samples to the FSL."
The Dharavi police had initially arrested five persons. They were then sent to the custody of Nehru Nagar police where they were arrested on charges of negligence and endangering lives.

The Place of Sadvipras in the Sama'ja Cakra From "Idea and Ideology" Shrii P.R.Sarkar
Primitive human beings had no society and the whole set-up was individualistic. Even the concept of a family was absent. Life was brute and non-intellectual. Primitive Humans
Nature was the direct abode Physical strength ruled the day. The strong enjoyed at the cost of the weak.
Primitive Humans The sense of acquisition had not developed in them. They worked manually and there was no intellectual exploitation in that age. Though life was brute, it was not brutal.
Shu'dra Age Shu'dras are those who live by manual work or service. That was the Shu'dra Age. The leaders led by their physical strength.
Shu'dra Age Family developed Leadership passed from generation to generation in the family The leaders by physical might started a well knit group. The ks'attriya class was formed
Ks'attrya Age The age when the power rule – supremacy of arms. The leaders were Herculean, huge giants who depended on the supremacy of personal valor and might. They made no use of intellect.
Vipra Age With the development of intellect and skill as a result of physical and psychic clash, physical strength lost its position. Dependence on superior intellect increased day by day, and power passed into the hands of intellectuals.
Vipra Age Intellectuals performed no labour and exploited the energy put by others. In the effort to maintain power they prevented others from developing their intellect. They imposed superstitions and rituals, faiths and beliefs, caste system, etc.
Vaeshya Age The continued exploitation by one section of society resulted in the necessity to collect and transfer goods. A class of merchants developed. Gradually they started to enjoy a position of supremacy.
Vaeshya Age Individualistic sense develops. Capitalism begins. The instinct of acquisition develops tremendously. There is complete exploitation of the human race.
Present Situation If one can reduce the population of the entire world into a village of 100 people, keeping the proportions, there would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 Americans (north, central and south) and 8 Africans. 52 would be women and 48 men. 70 non-whites and 30 whites. 70 non Christians and 30 Christians. 89 heterosexual and 11 homosexual.
Present Situation 6 people would have 59% of the wealth and all of them would be from USA. 80 would live in houses which are not good for humans and 70 would be illiterate. 50 would suffer from malnutrition and one would be about to die and one about to be born. One would have a computer, one would have university degree.
Present Situation If you have waken up today more healthy than sick, you would be more fortunate than 1 million people who will not see the next week. If you have never been in a battle, in a prison, tortured or suffered hunger then you are more fortunate than 500 million people. If you have food in the fridge, clothes in the closet, a roof over your head, a place to sleep, consider yourself richer than 75% of the people in this world.
Present Situation If you have money in the bank, in the wallet or some change somewhere then consider yourself amongst the 8% with best quality of life in the world. If your parents are alive and still together consider yourself a very rare person.
Age of Capitalism This is the age when large majority of people are turned into Shu'dras. Shu'dras – those who live by manual work or labour hard for their livelihood.
Cycle of Civilization Evolution (Kra'nti) – one age turns into another gradually. The period of transition from one age to another is called "yuga sam'kra'nti". A complete cycle from Shu'dra Age evolving through the other three is called "Parikra'nti".
Sadvipras Spiritual revolutionaries who work to achieve progressive changes for human elevation and adhere to the principles of Yama and Niyama.
The duty of Sadvipras In the Social Cycle before the end of an age the dominant class enjoys the position to exploit others. The Sadvipras should not allow this exploitation to take place.
Exploitation When one class turns into exploiters it degenerates due to excess of physical enjoyments and the others cannot elevate themselves because all their energy is taken up in mundane problems.
Sadvipras Sadvipras will have to strike at the source of power of the exploiting class. In case of Ks'attriya, they may have to resort to physical force. In case of Vipras, they will have to revolutionize the intellectual field.
Sadvipras In case of Vaeshyas they may have to contest and win elections, because they rule by democracy. The democratic set up enables them to accumulate undue gains.
The Cosmic Brotherhood
Spirituality The Cosmic Ideal alone can be the unifying force which shall strengthen humanity to smash the bondages and abolish all narrow domestic walls of fissiparous tendencies.
Establishing Spirituality The following will be needed: –Common philosophy of life –Same constitutional structure –Common penal code –Availability of the minimum essentialities of life
Common Philosophy of Life Spirituality Human development in physical, mental and spiritual sphere. Cosmic Idealism
Same Constitutional Structure World Government Common constitutional structure to the whole world. One lingua franca.
Common Penal Code A common penal code must be evolved. Lessen the difference amongst cardinal, moral and human laws. Actions which help in the growth of the spiritual, mental and physical aspects of human beings should be considered virtue. Actions which go against humanity in its spiritual mental and physical development will come under "Vice".
Minimum Essentialities of Life Minimum requirements by creating enough purchasing capacity. Maximum amenities in order to fully utilize skill and intelligence. It is a never ending adjustment. There is unlimited scope and liberty only in mental and spiritual spheres.
5 Principles of Prout 1. No individual should be allowed to accumulate any physical wealth without clear permission or approval of the collective body.
2. There should be maximum utilization and rational distribution of all mundane, supramundane and spiritual potentialities of the universe.
3. There should be maximum utilization of physical, metaphysical and spiritual potentialities of unit and collective bodies of human society.
4. There should be proper adjustment amongst these physical, mataphysical, mundane, supramundane and spiritual utilizations.
5. The method of utilization should vary in accordance with changes in time, space and person, and the utilization should be of progressive nature.

Wanted Return
Older brother, Edward Elric (12 years old), and younger brother Alphonse Elric (11 years old) arrived at the train station bearing a wavering memory at the familiar site. There they had said goodbye to their foster father, Roy Mustang, before he went to war half a year ago.
I'm so sorry that I have to leave, you two." Roy had apologized.
"I-Its okay, Lieutenant Colonel." Al said. "Just make it back, okay?"
Roy nodded and then gave Al a playful punch in the arm.
"Don't worry, Alphonse. I'm the Flame Alchemist remember? I can handle myself." He assured.
"If you say so…"
The Flame gave Al a small smile and set his sights on Ed, who hadn't said a word since he first got the news. Mustang sighed and took several steps towards the blonde. He prepared to take the younger into his arms as he usually did when Ed was upset. But Ed slapped the arms away, causing Roy's eyes to widen. The elder Elric began to shake and when Roy tried to say something comforting a nasty voice called, "Lieutenant Colonel! What the hell are you doing?! Let's go!"
Roy scowled.
"Goodbye, Lieutenant Colonel…" Ed said, his voice helplessly sounding broken. Breaking into a dash, Ed spun around, revealing some tears to Roy as well as Al who quickly followed after him.
He's abandoning us just like our bastard father…
Sure, Alphonse was upset about his departure. But he didn't seem as torn over it as Edward was. Al hadn't gotten over his real father and believed that he would finally get to meet him someday. He was grateful to Roy for taking care of them in all. The idea of finally seeing his original father was just too thrilling to turn down.
Ed, on the hand, despised their father for leaving their mother to suffer and had blamed him for her death.
Ed doesn't have to admit the fact that he looks up to Roy more than his father. He had showed it plenty of times. Agreeing to the adoption, leaning on Roy for help with military issues (mostly dealing with his money), letting the older hold him, protect him.
All of that seemed shattered now. Roy left and he might not even come back…
Ed attempted to resist letting any of his thoughts remain clouded by that possibility. The bastard had deserted him and his brother. Yet the blonde couldn't help but care, and worry.
Suddenly a train came to a stop, releasing military soldiers from inside…Wait! Military soldiers!?
Hope and determination welled up in Ed. Maybe…just maybe Roy had made it…
The short alchemist desperately looked through the crowd of blue military uniformed people for the Flame.
"Roy!" He found himself shouting. "Roy!!"
Soon the mobs of soldiers were gone.
Ed looked up to see a slightly bandaged Roy, smiling gently at him.
"Roy!" Ed cried, running up to him.
The black-haired man knelt down onto one knee, his arms spread out wide. Ed flung himself into the embrace. Roy hefted his adopted son up in his arms as Ed tightly wrapped his around Roy's neck, burrowing his head into Roy's uniformed shoulder, heavy sobs escaping him.
"I'm so sorry, Roy! Sorry!"
"Shh, it's alright now. I'm here and I'm never leaving you like that again."
Ed could only nod, a relieved smile sweeping across his face.
"I love you, dad."
Roy held his little one closer. "Love you too, son."
Behind them, Al mentally smiled, watching over the scene.

No, The Power of Duff Is Not About Homer Simpson (But You Should See It Anyway)
Josh Stamberg, Eric Ladin, Brendan Griffin and Elizabeth Rodriguez
Photo: Michael Lamont
Though the title of Stephen Belber's play might sound like Homer Simpson praising his favorite beer, it actually refers to Charlie Duff (Josh Stamberg), an upstate New York news anchor who begins praying on air and incites quite a pandemonium in Belber's thoughtful and earnest exploration of our collective yearning for something larger than ourselves. Duff, who loses his father early on in the piece, decides one night, at the end of the eleven-o-clock local news, to deliver an impromptu prayer to his dad. He catches his co-anchor Sue Raspell (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and sports reporter John Ebbs (Brendan Griffin) off guard, and he really catches hell from his boss at the station, Scott Zoellner (Eric Ladin).
Despite being instructed not to pray on air, Duff continues to explore his newfound spirituality, and when a prayer actually moves local kidnappers to return the girl they abducted to her parents, Duff becomes a messianic figure in the Rochester community. Amidst the social media frenzy, he strives to remain grounded. He also strives to mend fences with his estranged teenage son Ricky (Tanner Buchanan), trying to unwind their screwed up past. The more he prays, the more Duff becomes charitable in spirit, leading him to reach out to Sue and John about their personal issues, as well as to Casey (Maurice Williams), a local prison inmate whose story becomes inextricably intertwined with Duff's as the play progresses.
Brendan Griffin, Josh Stamberg and Maurice Williams

In that progression are a number of scene changes, facilitated by Clint Ramos' versatile white brick set, which provides a perfect canvas for Aaron Rhyne's massive wallpaper-like projections. Rhyne's video graphics, along with Rui Rita's slick lighting and M.L. Dogg's atmospheric sound, also make for a lifelike newsroom complete with a "live" feed from field reporter Ron Fitzpatrick (Joe Paulik). Director Peter DuBois orchestrates the transitions with precise blocking that wastes no movement, and he's equally skillful in helping the actors shape the emotional journey of the piece.
Stamberg, looking like a cross between Mad Men's Don Draper and The Newsroom's Will McAvoy, is earnest and relatable in his desire for graciousness. Griffin provides profanity-laden, frat boy-style comic relief, yet he reveals tender vulnerability when called for. Rodriguez is a spunky adversary who keeps Stamberg's Duff in check, but the script leaves us wanting a bit more of her character's story in the piece.

It has recently emerged she will be a guest judging on an episode of talent show American Idol — something that Posh knows a great deal about.
The former Spice Girl was approached for the role by Simon Cowell after Abdul revealed she was quitting the show after eight years.
Posh, 35, who recently fuelled talk of a return to the Premiership for husband David Beckham when her spokesman confirmed they are interested in buying a house in Chelsea, will make a reported £155,000 for filming at least two episodes.

The pop singer-turned fashion designer will join Cowell and other hosts Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi for the new series.
Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, American Idol is the most popular show in the US with the last series drawing an average 26.3 million viewers per episode.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the grunt work was done, such as a web template, writing exciting content, ensuring all the links are in check, and just making the site 'feel' right for the visitor?
Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually be rewarded for your hard work when you promote your site?
If the idea of having the work already done for you and editing 1 file to rebrand an entire site with your affiliate links within minutes appeals to you then you may want to read the rest of this page..
Just so you know, I am not a believer in get-rich-quick schemes, especially after seeing so many of my friends try and fail.
What I do believe in is working smart for my money and more importantly, my effort. If there's a quicker and more efficient way of doing things I'll do it rather than slaving away with the old method.
One thing that I've learned when it comes to affiliate marketing online is to always have some form of 'buffer' or pre-sell page before you send a visitor (which you've worked hard to get) off to a merchant site. That way you can at least grab their name and email before never making contact with them again.
So why have an affiliate site? Or more specifically, why have an article-based website dedicated to a specific subject?
Well there are a few reasons for this..

Hormonal Infertility
Various hormonal abnormalities can lead to infertility. Examples are hypothyroidism (low thyroid function), hyperprolactinemia (high male hormone levels) and luteal phase defect (low progesterone levels). Our physicians are experts in treating these and other endocrinological abnormalities.
Diagnosis & Treatment:
The reproductive endocrinologist will evaluate specific situations and perform tests in both the male and female partners to determine the cause of infertility. The physician is looking for answers to some of the following questions:
- Is the female ovulating regularly?
- Is the male producing healthy, viable sperm?
- Are the female's egg and the male's sperm able to unite and grow normally?
- Are there any obstacles to proper implantation and maintenance of the pregnancy?
Treatment Value:
Specific treatment for infertility will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent and cause of the disorder
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disorder
Once a diagnosis is made, the specialist can work with you to determine the course of treatment. Depending on the cause of infertility, there are many options to offer an infertile couple. The types of treatments may include the following:
- Medication
- Intrauterine insemination
- Surgery
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT)
- Embryo cryopreservation

Herge liked to mix real and fictional geography in his story-telling, sometimes explicitly and sometimes implicitly.
Machu Picchu doesn't appear directly in the books but it can be assumed as the basis for the temple in The Seven Crystal Balls / Prisoners of the Sun. Located high in mountains, in a remote part of Peru, it was the last strong hold of the Incas. A sacred site, one of the main buildings is called the Temple of the Sun. The site was 'discovered' and made famous in 1911 by the American explorer and historian Hiram Bingham.
This facade appears in The Red Sea Shark though you may be more familiar with it from Indian Jones and the Last Crusade. In reality it is in Petra, an ancient city in modern-day Jordan and is one of the true wonders of the world. At its peak, around 200AD, it was a city of over 20,000 people with a sophisticated water management system that allowed the city to thrive in the middle of a desert.
Loch Lomond itself never appears in the books but it is a name familiar to all Tintin fans as Captain Haddocks favourite tipple. It is particularly prominent in The Black Island as Tintin visits Scotand but it crops up regularly in a number of books. There is a real world Loch Lomond Distillery who do tours. So, if you are ever in Scotland, call in, see how they make the whisky and have a wee dram for Captain Haddock.

Merry Christmas!! Unless of course you don't celebrate Christmas, in which case Merry Christmas!!! I'm very stubborn. With the festive season, it is the most vulnerable time of the season to forget the cluster of gameweeks that fast approaches. With that in mind it is a good opportunity to make sure you have some […]
'Tis the season to be jolly". Fair enough. "Don we now our gay apparel?" That's where I drawn the line.
It's not so much the apparel. To each his own, I say. It's that the lyric to this timeless Christmas carol is written in Yoda speak. You know, where you put the verb in front of the subject for no particular reason. That bothers me. Especially when you consider this lyric would work just as well if it was written "Now we don our gay apparel". Simples, yeah? I already have this Star Wars spinoff movie, Rogue One, out now watering down the franchise. I don't need Yoda lyrics in my Christmas carols.
Ed… and breathe Steve
Right, happy holidays and all of that. It has been a while since I last checked in with a gameweek review. Three gameweeks were squeezed into a nine day stretch, and writing reviews for them all was not in the cards for me. So, now is the time to look back at these last few rounds as we approach the end of 2016 and the halfway point of the season.
Lucky for you, I have been rather productive over the last three rounds, getting green arrows in two of them and shaving 70k off of my rank. I even managed to pick the right captain last week. After finally bringing Diego Costa into my side in GW16, I gave him the armband this last round, and, while he finally managed to secure that elusive fifth yellow card, he scored a goal for me. Meanwhile, the other clear option in most people's eyes, Harry Kane, came up empty and I was able to dodge that pitfall.
This leads me to the main talking point in this edition of the review. I think Diego Costa and Sergio Aguero have switched bodies. If you were a child of the 1980's, then you, like me, were accustomed to the concept of body-switching. It seemed to be it's own movie genre back then. There was "Vice Versa" with Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold, "Like Father, Like Son" with Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron and "18 Again" with George Burns and some nobody actor. There are probably a few more examples so, for a while there, you were easily getting one or two body-switching movies a year…all of them bad.
While Hollywood may have finally come to the realization that body-switching movies were not box office juggernauts, the concept looks to have made its way into the Premier League. Maybe I would have been a bit more brave to say this sooner – Costa is now Aguero and Aguero is now Costa.
If I told you before the season started that between Kun and Costa, one would lead the league in goals, never going two straight matches without scoring, and faced no disciplinary issues until Boxing Day, while the other would have been banned for a total of seven games (six in the leagye) for violent conduct on two separate occasions, surely you would have said "Easy. Kun's leading the race for the Golden Boot and Costa's temper once again has sullied what could otherwise be a very productive fantasy season."
Well, you would be wrong now, wouldn't you? For me, this is the major storyline of the fantasy season, and, in a way, of the actual season. When Costa got that 5th yellow over the weekend, I automatically began lining up replacements for him. But, it took that one-match ban for me to realize – Costa is too good to drop for missing one match. This is the kind of logic that used to apply exclusively to Aguero. Meanwhile, after initially making a plan to make sure I got Aguero back for Week 19, I have come to realize that, for the first time in a very long time, I do not feel the Argentinian is essential. Sure, he will be back in my side at some point, and circumstances could play out where he indeed does make his way back into the side. Costa, meanwhile, looks as though he is bound to stay in my FPL squad through the end of the season, barring injury or a multiple game suspension.
With my funds maxed out (now at a team value of 104m) I have the #2 scoring GK in Heaton, partnered with "The nex Jack Butland" Jordan Pickford. In defense, I have representation from the two best defensive sides, with Danny Rose and David Luiz. I have a defender from Burnley and West Brom, both who have shown strong home form and they rotate home/away perfectly. Jordi Amat does his job, a 5th defender for minimum price that actually plays.
In attack, six of my seven starting attackers have a "star" next to them. Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Eden Hazard, Jermain Defoe, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Costa. The seventh starter is the capable-of-something-any-week as the poor man's Gylfi Sigurdsson — Robert Snodgrass. Darren Fletcher acts as the final attacking piece on my bench. You look at the shape of my team, and you have to think at this point.."Is Sergio Aguero essential?" Because this side looks rather balanced to me and Aguero's price tag is starting to feel a bit inflated. I mean, even throwing out the weeks where Kun was absent through suspension, on a points per matches played level, Costa is clearly ahead at 6.8 ppg vs Aguero's 6.2. And, even though Zlatan is behind at 5.9 ppg, one has to consider how that .3 points difference on average is made up by using the extra 1.4m Aguero costs you and spending it elsewhere. I mean, that turns Winston Reid into Marcos Alonso.
So, I think I am going to try the "Forget Aguero" experiment for a little while. I am perfectly setting this up to explode in my face. But, it cannot be as disastrous as the "Use Capoue as your 4th mid" experiment went.
That's all from me this week. There were several other talking points to discuss but I have presents to wrap and mail back to myself. I will be back at some point between Boxing Day and the New Year to not only review the week that was but to also analyze the first half of the season.

BP Australia
Think about it. Heat. Light. Power. Mobility. Chemicals and materials to make the products that define modern life. All are made possible by oil and gas.

It has many of the quintessential features of a home that could grace the pages of Country Life, a listed stone dwelling overlooking acres of countryside. But it is a cave.
As house prices climb to new heights, buyers are expressing strong interest in acquiring a crumbling home for a troglodyte in Worcestershire. Estate agents selling the sandstone dwelling have had 50 requests for viewings despite the property having only "one bedroom" and no electricity or running water.
Hewn out of a cliff in the 1770s, Rock Cottage is being auctioned on Wednesday with a guide price of £25,000 but looks likely to sell for much more given the interest. The derelict cave, one of more than 50 in the area, was occupied for almost 200 years and fell vacant in 1948. But now the owner has died.
Like many more desired residences, Rock Cottage has a sitting room, a living room, a pantry and overlooks a neatly-trimmed lawn. Unlike many other des res', it has six adjoining cave rooms.
The estate agent Halls in Kidderminster is describing the cave - being sold with four acres of surrounding bracken and woodland - as a "most unique opportunity". "The property comprises genuine rock caves of former residential status together with garden area and adjoining woodland and amenity land area to approximately 4.91 acres," the sales particulars say.
But Halls is warning that home-buyers may find some conveniences taken for granted in the 21st century missing. Aside from no postal deliveries or a telephone landline, there is no mains electricity or water.
And, despite being Grade II-listed in 1958, the property is crumbling: jagged glass sits in the window frames, red dirt covers the floors and the rooms are divided by rickety stable doors on corroding hinges. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own inquiries about connection to utilities. It may not be given planning approval as a residence.
The cave has a front door that leads into a 15ft by 12ft living room with a fireplace and window and door to an outside stable. The "bedroom" is a shade larger (11ft by 10ft) than the sitting room (9ft by 11ft). Despite the drawbacks of living in a cave that may not even be habitable, Halls is confident the property near the Georgian village of Wolverley will sell. "We don't know what the place used to look like, but it must have been quite cosy," said Daniel Lovatt, a director of Halls. "The fireplace kept it warm in winter and the rock walls kept it cool in summer."
The Nationwide building society says overall house prices are climbing twice as fast as last year, despite recent rises in interest rates, with the average house price now £184,070.
But further rate rises may dampen demand and the Bank of England may raise them on Thursday, hours after a new owner takes charge of Rock Cottage.
* The freehold of Rock Cottage will be auctioned at the Gainsborough House Hotel, Bewdley Hill, Kidderminster, at 6pm on Wednesday.Reuse content

text: This THREAD from the Sigs forum set me off thinking about the fantasy photographs with which the MoD populate their websites and brochures. In the photo the Sigs team are deployed in a cammed up tent but are wearing their berets like good little boys and girls. They seem to believe that you nail your beret on your head at 07.55 and sit at your desk/under a Rover or wherever with the ridiculous piece of felt covering your bald patch all day long. I seem to remember similar things in the Grattan catalogue from about 1970 where groups of men were standing round chatting in various sets of matching underwear, including one older gentleman in blue long-johns who was smoking a pipe. Has anyone else noticed this fantasy world of promotional photography?

Ridgeland Common ready to open dog park, turf field
Events include ribbon cutting at dog park and Pitch, Hit & Run competition for kids
By Marty Farmer
Although the highly anticipated openings of the Paul Hruby Ice Arena and the pool at Ridgeland Common won't happen until mid-June, Oak Parkers can check out the new synthetic turf field and reopened dog park this weekend. Both amenities will debut Saturday at an event hosted by the Park District of Oak Park. The park district has arranged free parking at Pilgrim Church across Lake Street from the dog park and sports field opening. Giveaways will also be given to the first 100 attendees at each event.
Ridgeland Common is located at Lake Street and Ridgeland Avenue.
The day kicks off at 10 a.m. as Oak Park dog owners and their dogs are invited to take part in a ceremonial ribbon cutting. At 10:30 a.m., residents are invited to run through the banner on the new synthetic turf field. The synthetic turf sports field, the first one exclusively owned by the park district, features brand new lights, shade structures over the player and spectator benches and brand new batting cages (the first batting cages in Oak Park's parks system).
The celebration rolls on at 11 a.m. with the annual Pitch, Hit and Run competition for children between the ages of 7 and 14. Onsite registration and a copy of each participant's birth certificate for the free event is required to take part in the competition, with boys and girls taking part separately in four different age groups: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 and winners advancing to sectional competition.
"It's a great feeling to provide a new dog park and a new synthetic turf sports field for the use and enjoyment of our community," said Diane Stanke, the park district's customer service and marketing director. "It's certainly a welcomed addition to our parks system."
"We do know our dog park users are anxious to get back to Ridgeland Common and the Baseball Association is eager to get their season started at our new facility."
In other Ridgeland Common developments, the underlayment for the ice rink was poured in late February, a process which took approximately 10 hours as 40 cement trucks made deliveries. The installation of rink tubing and dry wall, along with painting and roof work are either completed or in progress.
When the ice arena opens in June, it will serve residents as a year-round facility. Skate lessons, open skate, figure skating, adult and youth hockey and hockey camps are some of the activities planned for the ice rink.
"One common remark we hear frequently is that people are excited about year-round ice," Stanke said. "We are offering skating camps this summer for the first time and the response has been good."
Overall, the Ridgeland Common renovation remains on track. The Park Foundation of Oak Park is organizing a special event for June 12 to celebrate the opening of the Ridgeland Common Recreation Complex.
The official opening of the facility will be held on June 14. Residents can also look forward to a luau themed-event and the introduction of Ridgeland Common's mascots at this skate and swim event.
"Community participation in this planning process has been overwhelming," Stanke said. "It's a great feeling to see our plans become a reality. We hope this facility exceeds our residents' expectations and that they enjoy these new facilities for many years to come."

At the moment I am a little short of things to blog about. I am not currently sewing, as I still don't have a desk at my new place, and apart from my scissors, a tape measure and two spools of thread, I don´t really have the necessary equipment to get started. This is only temporary though, a desk is currently being built and I will soon go on a recovery mission to my parents' spare room to try and find enough of my sewing bits to get myself going again. But until the moment when I have an exciting new project to tell you about, I thought it was best to get a couple of posts done that have been waiting in the wings.
A couple of posts ago, I detailed how to use the 'cut and spread' technique to add fullness to a jacket pattern. You can use this same method to add fullness to just about any garment or pattern piece: sleeves, skirts, blouses and jackets, and many more. You may have got the idea from the last post (as it really is quite a simple technique), but I thought I should post this anyway, as it has been sitting ready to go for months and had somehow been forgotten.
For this tutorial you will need: the pattern you are making changes to (I am using a skirt pattern), a ruler, scissors, masking tape and an extra sheet of pattern paper. You may also need a tape measure.
To start, take your first pattern piece (I am working on the front, but the same technique is also used for the back). You will be cutting into the pattern for this technique, so if you don't want to mess with your pattern, first trace a copy.
Draw three lines (this is only a suggestion, you could use more or less) down the length of your pattern, roughly parallel to the centre front. Space them out, with roughly even gaps between them. Think about it, wherever there is a line, this is where more fabric will be added - that's why it is best that they are evenly spaced.
Take your scissors and cut along the first guideline, from the hemline up towards the waistline.
Do not cut all the way through the pattern. Stop a few millimeters from the waistline, leaving a 1-2mm "hinge" to keep the two pieces together.
Think about how much volume you are wanting to add to the pattern overall. You may want to do this by eye (just cut along the line and then spread until it looks as though enough volume has been added), or by an exact amount. If you are just opening up a hemline, I would say that doing it by eye is fine. But if, for example, the hip-line of a pattern is too tight and you are spreading the pattern to accommodate this, then I would suggest finding an exact amount so that you don't get any surprises.
If you have found an exact amount, you will need to divide this figure by four, as the volume will need to be distributed between the four pieces that make up the skirt pattern (front right, front left, back left and back right). Then divide the number again, by the number of guidelines you have on your pattern piece.
For example, if you would like to add an overall 30cm to the hemline, you will be adding 7.5cm to each pattern piece. If I was to add this to my pattern used as an example, I would divide this 7.5cm by my three guidelines, meaning I would open up each guideline by 2.5cm.
Slide a separate piece of pattern paper under your pattern, so that you will have something to stick the pattern to once you make the adjustments.
Spread the hemline by the amount worked out in the previous step. Use tape to secure in place.
Repeat process for the other lines, opening each line by the same amount.
Once all the pieces are stuck in place, redraw the hemline with a smooth curve.
Make sure the curve comes to a right angle at the centre front and side seam, so that the hemline remains smooth when joined to the back pattern, and when the front is cut on the fold.
Depending on how much volume you added to the pattern, the waist (or another seam if you are working on something other than a skirt) may have also changed shape. If this is the case, re-draw the seam with a smooth curve.
And there you have your new pattern piece! Repeat process for the back pattern.

By Mike Watkins//Correspondent | Tuesday, September 8, 2015Growing up with Alopecia, Staciana Stitts Winfield found solace in the water.
Figuratively and literally.
When things got tough – name-calling, weird looks, whispers at the school lockers – and the prospect of growing up without the beautiful, luxurious hair she saw on the other girls around her was too hard to handle, Winfield said she always knew she could "come home" to the pool.
"As a child in middle school, when I was less confident and new to the disease, I really struggled," said Winfield, who was often mistaken for a child with cancer and still is sometimes due to her completely bald head. "I didn't know anyone else that had it, and I was scared and angry.
"Swimming saved me because I knew I didn't want to stop swimming and wearing a wig would be silly in the pool. Swim practice was the first place I felt free and happy once I told my friends what Alopecia was because their reaction was, 'Cool! You are going to swim faster!'"
Winfield said she embraced that idea and used her anger at practice every day to swim faster.
"Underwater is the best place to scream and cry, and I did a lot of that the first year with this disease," she said. "I was also an emotional teenager so maybe those tears would have still happened, but for a different reason, if I didn't have Alopecia."
These days, mixed in with the stares, Winfield said she gets – and gives – a lot of hugs for "rocking a bald head."
Winfield lives and works in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., with her husband, Brett, daughter, Kyla, and dog, Nike. They returned to the area after living overseas in Morocco (2011-2013) and Malaysia (2013-2015) for Brett's job in the shipping industry.
While living overseas, she taught yoga, running and swimming clinics and raised her daughter.
Now that they're back in Southern California, she's working at St. Margaret's Episcopal School and concurrently is going to school for her teaching credentials. She also started her own clinic business, Swim it Forward, LLC, over the last year with friends Aaron Peirsol and Dave Denniston.
"We combine swimming clinics with service, learning to encourage swimming's youth to serve their community and help others," said Winfield, who retired in 2006. "We have enjoyed sharing our secrets of fast swimming, overcoming adversity and empowering swimmers to serve others and reduce their imprint on our environment."
Winfield was indoctrinated with the water herself when her parents put her and her siblings in the water as babies.
And while she doesn't remember learning to swim, she was still swimming before she could walk.
It wasn't long before she was hooked and swimming regularly on her way to becoming an NCAA and Olympic champion.
"I started swimming on the YMCA team in Encinitas, Calif., when I was 6," she said. "My love for the water kept me in the sport. The moment you go underwater and all goes silent. That moment is priceless.
"I still get in the water as often as I can to feel this peace. It washes away all anxiety, fear, anger, sadness. I feel pure joy when I'm in water, and I soak it up as much as possible in order to radiate it out to others."
One of America's top breaststrokers in the late 90s and early 2000s, Winfield is best known for being a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic team – swimming the breaststroke leg in preliminaries of the 400 medley relay to win gold in Sydney.
But she was more than a relay swimmer, winning a pair of titles in the 100 breaststroke at the 1999 and 2003 Pan Am Games and swam on gold medal-winning 400m medley relays as well. She's also a 2002 FINA World Championships finalist (100m breast) and earned multiple All-American honors as a four-year star at California-Berkeley for Coach Teri McKeever.
Watching this year's Rio Olympics brought back a lot of good memories and emotions of her own Olympic experience 16 years earlier.
She said she felt both the happiness for those who performed well and the sadness for those who didn't – but overall, it was just a great opportunity to see great athletic performances in and out of the pool.
"I love watching all of the Olympics, including swimming," she said. "The highlight for me was watching Anthony Ervin and Nathan Adrian finishing 1st and 3rd in the 50 free – as well as seeing the Cal Golden Bears rock it, of course! Anthony and I made the team together in 2000, and I still remember the moment he tied with Gary Hall Jr. to win the 50 in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. It was such a great moment to watch him crush that event again."
As a breaststroker, Winfield said the feud between American gold medalist Lilly King and Russia's Yulia Efimova was a sad moment for her, especially when the fans booed the Russian, who was originally disqualified from participating because of failed drug tests but then allowed just days before competition started.
To Winfield, the Olympics are about optimism and inclusion, and this was a display that went against both of those.
"(The Olympics) should be about the athletic events and highlighting the efforts of the athletes; it should not be about politics or ostracizing others for circumstances we may not know all of the details about," said Winfield, who retired in 2004 but returned after 5 months.
"The Olympics in Ancient Greece were created to stop all war and admire the athletic achievements of everyone. I wish we could still embrace this promise of inclusion and empathy to each other. We will all be judged one day by the Creator, it's not our place to judge. It's just our duty to love one another."
Calling daughter Kyla "a true fish," Winfield said she will support her if she chooses to swim but won't put any pressure on her to follow in her mom's footsteps.
Regardless, just as she does with the swimmers in her program, she wants to continue to pass down the life lessons she learned from swimming to the next generations of young people.
"Swimming taught me that you can achieve anything you believe you can do, with realistic long-term goals and daily short-term sacrifices," said Winfield, who participates every year at Alopeciapalooza, a free camp for kids with Alopecia where there is a symbiotic relationship of inspiration between adults and kids. "Also, you better love what you are doing because life is too short to waste time doing something you don't like doing. Find your passion and choose it every day.
"The frequent failures and sporadic but continuous success helped me realize what it takes to reach your dreams. Optimism and determination are two characteristics that will help anyone in this life. I am so grateful for the relationships I made and the self-confidence I gained from swimming. I will always give back to the sport that gave me so much."

Sports of The Times; The Humiliation of No. 922335 Mike Tyson
By DAVE ANDERSON
Published: March 29, 1992
PLAINFIELD, Ind.— ABOUT 15 miles west of Indianapolis, State Highway 40 moves through the neon shopping malls and worn, weathered homes in this town of 15,000, past the old Village movie house on Main Street and Stacey's cafe, then up a short hill. Suddenly, a narrow metal sign appears.
"Prison Area," it warns. "Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers."
To the left, set back from Moon Road beyond dreary empty fields in the flat farmland, a high chain-link fence topped with rolls of razor-tipped barbed wire surrounds a thick beige-brick building.
"Indiana Dept. of Corrections," a rustic sign reads. "Reception and Diagnostic Center."
Somewhere inside is Mike Tyson's cell. Pending his bond-appeal ruling by a three-judge state panel, he will stay here for four to six weeks to determine his level of incarceration. Maybe he'll go to the maximum-security Michigan City penitentiary not far from Chicago, maybe to one of the state's high-to-medium-security prisons, such as the gray blue-roofed Indiana Youth Center next to where Tyson is now.
Once the undisputed heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson is now a convicted rapist sentenced to six years in prison. Wherever he's sent, steel doors will slammmm shut around him. As they have for other boxers.
More than most sports, boxing has a long rap sheet. Sonny Liston did time before winning the heavyweight title. Rubin (Hurricane) Carter did nearly 20 years before a Federal judge overturned his triple-murder conviction. Tony Ayala is in Rahway for rape. James Scott is in Trenton for violating parole on an armed-robbery conviction. As a teen-ager, Frankie DePaula was in a reformatory, just as Tyson was before he found boxing.
Judging by conversations recently and in the past with current convicts, ex-convicts and various prison officials, most of whom requested anonymity, life for Mike Tyson as a jailhouse celebrity will be hard and humiliating.
To the warden and to the guards, he's not even Mike Tyson or "champ" now; he's just No. 922335 in a blue shirt and blue jeans. No. 922335 whose swaggering stride will surely irritate some of the guards, if not some of the other prisoners.
He won't get any favors. He won't be catered to. If anything, the administration might be even tougher on him. To make sure he's not getting away with anything, that he's not doing what other prisoners aren't allowed to do.
"You find people you get along with and you do your time," James Scott said. "But with Tyson's temper, the officials will put him in a position to be challenged."
With his history of sidewalk confrontations with boxer Mitch Green and parking-lot attendants, Tyson could turn out to be what is known in prison as a "touch-off" guy. If anybody even touches him, he goes off like a firecracker.
Most prisoners will welcome him, but sooner or later somebody will challenge him. The gunslinger syndrome. In every prison there's always somebody who thinks he's the toughest guy on the block, the cell block.
If that somebody really is tougher, at least in a prison brawl, he's really the boss of the prisoners now. But even if Mike Tyson is tougher the first time, that somebody might try to get even with a knife or a razor or a gun. Weapons have been known to be smuggled to prisoners, for a price.
When it's time for Tyson to be assigned to a prison job, look for him to be put behind the kitchen counter wearing a little white jacket. The champ serving other inmates three times a day. Humiliating.
Being constantly counted by the guards is constantly humiliating. Counted in his cell. Counted to and from work or meals. Counted to and from the yard. Counted as much as 20 or 30 times a day.
The millions Tyson made on the outside will be useless. There's nothing to buy except candy, popcorn and potato chips on his once-a-week trip to the snack stand. No thick steaks. No liquor. No luxury cars. No limos. No discos. No dates. None of the luxuries of his once-lavish life style.
"You know what I missed most when I was in the can," Frankie DePaula once said. "I missed just going to the refrigerator."
Homosexual attacks are a fact of prison life, but according to James Scott, that threat has decreased because of the fear of AIDS.
Keeping fit won't be easy. The food is starchy. The weight room isn't always open. And in Indiana prisons, there are no boxing programs.
More than anything else, Mike Tyson must now cope with the loneliness of prison. Especially at night in the solitude of his cell.
During the day, he's kept busy. But at night, he's alone. At night, he has time to think. To think about why he's there. To think about what he's going to do when he's out of there. To think if only he could watch old boxing films of Jack Johnson or Joe Louis or Sugar Ray Robinson. Or watch videotapes of his next opponent.
But until he's paroled in 1995 at the earliest, No. 922335 is Mike Tyson's next opponent.

Last week the Education Secretary, Alan Johnson, announced that coursework was to be cut from GCSE maths. Yesterday the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority said it should be dropped from a host of arts subjects too. The wind is blowing against coursework, just as fiercely as it once blew in its favour. Not that the arguments have changed much over the years.
When the great coursework revolution was taking place there were plenty of warnings about inappropriate parental "help" and the potential for plagiarism from the internet. Lo and behold, teachers are now complaining about just such practices. Coursework has its place. It relieves the burden of constant testing and helps promising pupils who do less well in timed exams.
But, in time-honoured fashion, the Government went too far and is executing an undignified retreat. A for the idea. F for the execution.
