Awesome atmosphere to be in. I support the vision of the church which is to love, live, and lead like Christ. I have been a member since 2004. Its a place of worship where I can come to be encouraged and loved by my brothers and sisters. At first, the place was huge; but as I continued to come to this house of prayer, the fellowship has been amazing! The church has a small church kind of atmosphere and experience. I became more involved in the discipleship groups. The groups helped make a big church feel small. I thank my Heavenly Father for the life transforming change that is continuing to evolve in me at New Birth. Amazed by His grace...
Love my church my bishop and church family are really caring and loving their is nothing that you cant receive here if needed and the spirit of God flows all in this building.
It's my church home, fitness center, and my son's Summer camp. All around a great place to be. I'm a way it's like a school campus for the mind, body and soul!
Thank God for this place call New Birth and thank God for Bishop Long and the first family. I am truly blessed to be apart of the New Birth family..God Bless you all.
please dont get caught up in the hype from folks who probably never been or heard Eddie preach - this is a great place to worship and the MESSAGE is sincere!
No matter what man say I love bishop Eddie long I grew up watching him on Sunday mornings All the way in Chicago I would never miss a broadcast.. Every time Im here in atl I visit 😄 I'm still praying for him and the new birth family continue to stick with your leader and keep you all head up God bless you
The only place where I see a bunch of DL Gay Church People protesting Gay Rights in America! WOW!
Beautiful church they could use a shuttle though. The parking lot is so huge its a hike getting to and from the building
Its like going to a circus!! the music will scary you. Love the choir and the church is beautiful but not my cup of tea. I don't know if I went to church to praise God or the dramatic fanfare
I really enjoy the preaching and worship. Bishop Eddie Long has taught me how to, Reclaim my life, Recover my life and Rebuild my life. I am the Overseer of a great church in NC. So each time I come to New Birth I leave empowered to continue. Don't mess around and miss your blessing being somewhere else when you should be here. I love New Birth and the Long family.
PS: May those that trouble New Birth be troubled in Jesus Name.....
Let's hope your son isn't victimized like the others were. Oh, he has a dad, unlike the other, so he'll probably be ok. Sad to say, but blind trust is not of God. The Word said to "look into the matter and to have a spirit of discernment ." I know you love Eddie Long, but he hurt many people and you seem not to care. He should be held accountable for what he did not praised. Who would want to attend a church where you are known for doing dirty business.
So proud of the stephenson high school class. Of 2015 darien freeman🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Please, I will never be part of HIS church while he is still the preacher. Congregation should have had him removed for that sexual stuff with men. Sad followers.
I feels like home. The worship is amazing. The word is on point. Its not just church, its kingdom principles being taught. And most important the Spirit if the Lord rest there. There is a peace you feel as soon as you step foot on the grounds
I've been at New Birth for 27 years and I've discovered that people are people and are simply not perfect. If you search the entire bible, the only perfect one you find is Jesus. God however never changes and is the same yesterday, today and forever. Apostle Eddie Long is not a perfect man, but he Is the one God chose, like Moses to lead this assembly of people. He is the mouthpiece that God has used in a wonderful way in my life. I've never worshipped him, but I have honored him as my spiritual father. New Birth is a wonderful place, (not perfect), where the spirit of the Lord God almighty lives. God has and is yet continuing to do great things in New Birth and through Apostle Long. God bless you Apostle Long and First Lady Long for your love for us and your champion spirit!!!
I've been a member for years. It's great energy and great people. I feel comfortable there and Bishop Long is genuine.
You can't be serious all these people on here, giving praise and appluding this? He is a child moister further more you choose to be taught by him! Disgusting to say the least. White washed Christians.
Ephesians 6:5-9
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
Keep praying to your white Jesus and do the work of this pedophile or Morelos you master
Eddie Long is a great man of god. He was extremely nice to me, a little too nice. He invited me to his house for dinner and said if I go, he'd pay for my Metro PCS phone and a dime bag. He asked me to call him Big Eddie Long Stroke. He had some nice posters at his house of Tyresse from a Jett magazine .
I have been to many churches and this is one of the nicer facilities out there. The only downside is lack of elbow room in the chairs and foot room in front of you. Now I am a fairly average built man (six feet tall) but it's a pain to sit comfortably when the next person's elbows are right in your chest. Also when it is offering time or otherwise and someone wants to get up and walk in front of you, there is little to no space to allow them to pass by.
Words can't express how grateful I am to God for placing Bishop Long in my life. This man has been used by God in bringing closer to Him. The New Birth Family as a whole has been a tremendous blessing when I moved here 23 years ago. I have seen so many changes in my life and family life.
There are no words that can express how joyful and blessed I am because of this ministry. My Bishop teaches kingdom and provides the tools so you can grow and learn for yourselves. Ive been through heartaches, disappointments but learning how to develop a spiritual relationship with the holy spirit I made it... This is because of New Birth....I love my church and my 1st family.
Never had an experience so spiritual, so real, so loving. God is truly in this place!
I have always been Blessed by the Word of God that I received From God through My Spiritual Father Bishop Eddie Long , whom I will always carry In My Heart. Love & Miss You.
Thank you so very much Bishop Long for being one of the true men of God.
My family celebration you and your life and we will truly miss you daddy!!
Thank you to my First Lady, Elder V. Long
A Hill Where The Lord Resides..... I had the honor and privilege of attending New Birth once AND had the pleasure of capturing Bishop Long in action when He visited my church in Nashville. His stamp on life cannot be removed.....
Bishop Eddie Long has been a blessing to me since 2007 and always will be. He will be missed
Best church in the ATL! Love Bishop Long and family
#welovelikechrist #welivelikechrist #weleadlikeJesusChrist
Been there 19 yrs mom an I 10 yrs. love u my great teacher Eddie long an warriors. To b continued with pastor Davis amen Jesus rise up
While I do not worship at this facility, I was here for an AAU Basketball Tournament being held in their gym. The bathrooms were pretty filthy, with several of them locked. No paper towels, and no tissue in many of the stalls. The place was overall clean, but someone slipped on maintaining the facility.
Church was awesome and on fire today! Bishop delivered a soul stiring message. I am thankful that Bishop Davis is continuing the legacy of spiritual excellence at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church!
Love Love Love my church and the experience I received today and always, join us and you won't be disappointed!
Bishop Stephen A Davis is "On Point"!!!! It's a new day at Newbirth. The Spirit of God Reigns heavy at this church. Come and leave blessed and empowered! He teaches sound apostolic non judgmental get right doctrine! That is what we need to successfully survive everyday. Loving the organized ministry. Great members and staff, too.Great outreach ministries. Morning prayer call is anointed. Prophetic Friday reverbed all over the world. Excellence all the way!
It's been 2 years since I moved to Georgia and God placed me at Newbirth with a Vision, Puepose and Mission. I am so grateful for the leadership of Bishop Eddie L Long and or reigning Bishop Steven A Davis. May God continue to bless the Davis family as we wrap our arms around them. I love you Bishop Davis.
I am so happy to be apart of this ministry for 17 1/2 years. I miss Bishop Eddie L Long. Welcome our new Bishop. Stephan Davis.
The membership have greatly reduced since 2010 but I enjoyed the message by Dr. Morris. She talked about the stages of grive and her background scripture was Isa. 41: 10.
I have been a member of New Birth and love every moment I step foot in the church. The Holy Spirit is truly in that place. Before I became a member I had watched a great sermon by Bishop Eddie Long called untouchable, unstoppable, and unbreakable. There is nothing like it. I could not go to sleep until I watched the entire sermon. It was inspiring, incrediblel, and life changing. After Bishop Eddie Long is Bishop Stephen Davis, a man of God that preaches the word of truth. God bless him to bless us. Great Church! Just love it!
Bishop Davis ministered a vibrant anointed prophetic word. The Church appears to be in good hands!
A Godly worship service every time; a message is shared that can be applied to your daily life♡
I had a very good experience the word was good my soul was fed and the family there is wonderful everybody greets you love on you and thank God for Bishop Davis and his beautiful wif
Great service! I feel welcome and at home here.
I love this place. The presence of God is here and is felt by the love of the people. I miss Bishop Eddie Long, but he left us in great hands of our new Pastor, Bishop Stephen Davis. We are New Birth and we are changing the Kingdom.
Great atmosphere. New Pastor seems cool. I'd like to hear him preach more. Feels like a family atmosphere.
God's word is being preach at Newbirth through Bishop Stephen Davis,Bishop Long is gone home to be with the Lord but his legacy lives on. One More Push Bishop Davis we love you and your family.
Isn't this the church where Eddie long(the founder) settled out of court over having sexual relations with young boys? Wonder why he didn't leave it up to god?
I love this ministry.... The Spirit of The Only True and Living God rest on New Birth. May the Fire on The Altar never burn out. I miss Bishop Eddie L. Long, but there is a Joshua by the name of Bishop Davis who is more then able to operate in Kingdom Authority. We have not come to take sides, but to Take Over! #PUSH
Hallelujah. Praise YAH- Elohim for newbirth and a great pastor Bishop Stephen Davis! #1 leading church in Red Cross blood drive, saved over 597 lives through the participation of New Birth giving blood!
We The South Bay Project always stop in for Sunday service whenever time will allow
Awesome word from Bishop Stephen Davis. First lady Darlene Davis. Really miss Bishop Eddie Long. Very thankful to God for the Leadership and all my sisters and brothers whom stayed the course. Keep praying and praising God.
Great place to be. The people are warm and friendly. It's like worshiping with family only better, no fighting. The senior pastor is awesome
Love my church home and family ❤❤❤❤
A lot of things to do beside worshipping God
My beautiful church, Amen
Great place to visit..but the folks that regularly go through there leaves to much trash
The Word is POWERFUL and alive!!!
What a great ministry. Now JAMAL BRYANT is the new Pastor and he's committed to re-growing the membership back to the size when Bishop Eddie Long was in leadership.
I visited on the FIRST Sunday of Pastor Jamal's tenure and I was NOT disappointed. He brought home an effective message entitled: BITE ME!!!! My God his delivery is so effective and memorable. I love that he's so cutting edge and isn't afraid to have the tough conversations.
Getting into the property to park is just a difficult as getting out. But it's great to see the saints anxious to hear a Word from the Lord.
The people are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very friendly. If I lived in Atlanta, I'd visit frequently, if not join this church.
I pray the church continues to grow and I'm sure it will; the day I was there they took in better than 100 members... So AWESOME!!!!
once these jokers started singing lil duval that is when i realized i should've stayed home...never again
New Birth was a class act! I really enjoyed the service and Pastor Bryant preached a mighty word from God! The congregation was really friendly. A sweet lady kept giving us candy and she invited me to the book store! She was so anointed. The campus is HUGE and Beautiful!
Dr Jamal Bryant I've been following you since 2008 .You are very anointed and human as I add .I know you as Baltimore & now you have ventured into a new atmosphere as I continue to follow you I didn't learn the background of this church until TODAY by coincidence March 14th 2019.I watched a sermon given by your mother March 12th 2019 every since I watched that I've had a nightmare every single night of a church in need of cleaning out.Could not figure out where the nightmares where coming from until today.There is a heavy presence in that church .You are in its presence .You have a great job ahead of you.Not here to scare you or any of your members.Im just a messenger.You where placed for a reason.
They paid unattainable bail money for individuals that had been arrested for nonviolent crimes. They were surprised to be able to spend Easter w their families.
He is risen indeed!!!
Isn't this the same place were boys were abused? How is it still open!?
Pentecost Sunday was a Great Celebration of the Holy Spirit!
Well I haven't officially physically visited the church bldg. But I have had the oppty to hear Dr Jamal Bryant via YouTube. Also, in person on a Thursday evening 4/25/19 Women Who Win Conference in Houston, TX - New Light Christian Church with Apostle I.V. & Pastor Bridget Hilliard blest ppl of God. His messages continue to be an inspiration in my life. He is certainly called for such a time like this. God is using him mighty to change a generation. Continuous blessings over his life.
I love New Birth and prior to moving to Atlanta I knew I wanted to go visit. Pastor Bryant continuously brings fourth a RIGHT NOW word and is very compassionate. The first day I visited we packaged boxes of food for the hungry in 3rd world countries, then they had the shoe drive where we gave over 2000+ shoes and he has done so much good for the community and I'm so happy to be apart of it! Sho U Right!
We were there for a homegoing. When I tell you that this church is mind blowing trust me! The property inside and out, the staff of members, the food, the service that they gave, it was a wonderful experience. Thanks
Horrible horrible I called to get someone information yesterday the lady who answered the phone was extremely rude kept on putting me on hold on purpose as if she wanted me to hang up. I counted how many times I was put on hold i would say 6 times each time she came back she would say "oops one second" idk why I have to keep putting you on hold." Today I called to express my experience and asked to speak with someone in charge, this lady was rude and said " I will not take this abuse" hung up on me. Yet they call themselves Christians. Would never go to this church very unprofessional!
Love My Church and My Pastor/Servant Leader Dr. Jamal H. Bryant, Awesome and Anointed and Reachable!!!
Great atmosphere. Very friendly and welcoming people. The WORD OF GOD is taught, preached and celebrated in all of GOD' S Glory. PLEASE COME AND JOIN FOR A TRULY GREAT ENCOUNTER WITH THE FAMILY OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
This church is really awesome. I loved the sermon and if you ever visit Georgia you must stop by this church. The people are friendly m warm.
I love my church! Pastor Jamal is an amazing man of God & he teaches the word of God so you can understand it....I wouldn't want to be anywhere else other than NEWBIRTH!!
This is my voting precinct; I always vote here and it's walking distance from my house. Very orderly, in & out with ease.
Love my church! Miss Bishop Long, but we still Loving, Living and Leading like Jesus Christ!
Wonderful watch night service. Excellent staff getting out of the parking lot after service. Friendly and professional ushers.
The chruch helps with food assistance and prayer the are very professional and caring people I would like to say Thank you for being in time of need.

text: 'Extremely inappropriate': European Commission never communicated with FIAU Julian Bonnici Thursday, 4 October 2018, 11:34 Last update: about 2 years ago The EU Commission never informed the FIAU of its intent to publish a formal opinion on actions it believes must be adopted by the unit, with the Maltese financial regulator only discovering the news following the comments Vera Jourova, the EU's justice commissioner, gave to The Financial Times. "The FIAU finds it extremely inappropriate for the Commission to release information to the media without having first communicated with the Maltese authorities, and this is not the first time that this has happened," the unit told The Malta Independent. ADVERTISEMENT The Financial Times article quoted Jurova as saying that the EU will "react because the EBA's report since it has concrete proposals for improving the functions of [Malta's] financial intelligence unit. "The situation obliges us to come with an opinion," something which has "surprised" the FIAU given that it that it had already begun to implement a revised and comprehensive action plan following the the European Banking Authority's damning report into its handling of Pilatus Bank, which also flagged some 'general shortcomings' in the unit. The unit also revealed that the report and action plan, which covers a number of areas including its procedures, policies, protocols, supervisory and enforcement processes, and resources, that was submitted to the EBA on 25 July was yet to receive any reply or feedback almost ten weeks later. "Nonetheless, the FIAU is implementing this action plan and intends to provide regular updates to the EBA on the status of its implementation," the unit said. In fact, the Commission or EBA are still yet to contact or communicate with the FIAU at the time of publication, with the only "communication [the FIAU] have had is the EBA's report issued in July 2018." The commission's opinion will be formally binding on the FIAU, with the EBA able to give direct orders to Maltese banks to bring them in line with EU regulations. The commission has until mid-November to formally issue the opinion, after which the FIAU has 10 days to reply and set out what changes it intends to make. Asked why the commission had decided to pursue this action despite the FIAU reviewing and initiating action following the EBA's recommendations last July, the FIAU said that it was unaware as to why the commission chose to take this action. "Particularly because the Commission has never been in contact with the FIAU with regard to the EBA's report and recommendations. "Moreover, the FIAU has not been made aware of any assessment that the Commission may have made, nor has it been given an opportunity by the Commission to provide any explanations or information on actions that the FIAU has taken or is currently taking. "The FIAU, therefore, cannot understand what has led the Commission to pursue this course of action which comes as a complete surprise to the FIAU." Pressed as to whether the unit felt that it was being treated unfairly, in view of the changes they have already begun to implement, the FIAU simply said that: "As far as we know, neither the EBA nor the Commission have so far taken similar action against other European supervisors notwithstanding supervisory failures resulting in those banks laundering several billionsof Euros," the unit said. Sources who also spoke to this newspaper described a sense of political pressure being placed upon the European Institutions to act strongly in view of the growing scandals erupting around the continent, namely Denmark's Danske Bank, Dutch bank ING and Latvia's ABLV, ahead of the crucial post-Brexit MEP elections that will take place in May 2019. Asked to give further details as to what has been achieved so far in terms of the action plan, this newsroom was informed by the FIAU that several developments have already taken place, including enhanced and improved coordination with the MFSA during the licensing process, in the risk assessment of subject persons, and in the supervisory processes. "Furthermore the FIAU has now initiated the design and development of a tailor-made software that will significantly improve the FIAU's supervisory processes, particularly with regard to data collection and risk assessment," the unit said while also noting that it has addressed internal procedures leading to the sanctioning for breaches of Anti-Money Laundering/Countering Financing of Terrorism (AMT/CFT) obligations, and compliance of subject persons.

On Sept. 19, the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, awarded $18 million in funds to 47 states through the State Trade Expansion Program, or STEP, to help support and increase exporting from small businesses. The STEP grant program has been a vital resource to help states increase the number of companies that export, and thus grow their economies.
Exports from the United States account for nearly 13 percent of the gross domestic product and support millions of direct and in-direct jobs. Moreover, firms that export are more diversified and pay 15-20 percent higher wages on average than their nonexporting competitors.
The issue in Washington State Department of Licensing v. Cougar Den Inc. is whether the "right to travel" provision of the Yakama Nation Treaty preempts Washington's tax and permit requirements for importing fuel.
Article III of the Yakama Nation Treaty of 1858 states that "the right of way, with free access from the same to the nearest public highway, is secured to [the Yakama]; as also the right, in common with citizens of the United States, to travel upon all public highways."
Chapter 7 of The Book of the States 2018 contains the following tables:
In Dawson v. Steager the Supreme Court will decide whether states may give some retired state and local government employees a bigger tax break on retirement benefits than retired federal employees.
West Virginia taxes the government-provided retirement income of most local, state, and federal employees. While retired federal employees and most state and local government employees may exempt up to $2,000 of retirement benefits from their taxable income, certain state and local police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters can exempt all of their benefits. This group comprises about two percent of all state government retirees.

Whole-Farm Apprenticeship Luna Bleu Farm
- Date Posted January 12, 2017
- Location South Royalton, VT
- Category Agriculture / Production
- Job type Internship/Apprentice
Luna Bleu Farm is a well-established diversified certified organic farm in central Vermont, growing food for our community for over 25 years. On our 42 acre farm, we grow 5 acres of vegetables, raise cattle, pigs, and chickens for egg and meat production, and have a small orchard with blueberries, apples, and plums. We grow and market year round through our CSA, Saturday farmers market, and a few local businesses. Season extension and winter growing in high tunnels is an expanding part of our operation. We work hands on with our employees to share the knowledge we have gained over our years of farming and encourage employees to take advantage of the rich agricultural opportunities in the Upper Valley of Vermont. We are relatively small in size but our diversity with crops and animals means we have lots of fun every day!
Luna Bleu Farm is seeking 2 full-time Whole-Farm Apprentices for the 2017 season. (See also our listing for Assistant Manager if you have 2+ seasons of farm production experience.)
The Whole-Farm Apprentice is exposed to all aspects of our farming operation, rotating through the various animal chores, working with many aspects of growing, harvesting, and marketing the field vegetables and fruits and helping with the CSA distribution and farmers market. They get a broad experience of the rhythms of the farming season and the many elements of our farming systems.
Much of the learning is hands-on during the day-to-day tasks required on our farm. Rather than sitting down to teach skills in a classroom type setting we prefer to work with our employees in the field, giving instructions before starting work and then working with them to help them complete tasks properly, work efficiently, and have fun. We also eat meals with our employees and encourage conversations about anything farm related. Apprentices participate in the Upper Valley CRAFT program to enhance their education on the farm. Apprentices play an integral role in running our farm. We hope to give them skills, experiences and even connections to further their work in this field.
Apprentices will be involved with:
Seeding, transplanting, weeding, and harvesting vegetable crops
Post-harvest washing and prepping for market
Animal chores and grazing rotations
Chicken processing
CSA and farmers market
Greenhouse watering and field irrigation
Record keeping
Mowing, BCS rototilling
Food safety
Season extension
Qualifications:Because of the nature of the work, an apprentice should have some familiarity with the physical demands of farming, have spent some time working or volunteering on a farm (at least part of a season), be able to lift 50 pounds, work outdoors in a variety of weather Compensation this position is : stipend / non-monetary compensation
Work visa This employer is willing to sponsor a work visa for international applicants Application instructions

Building Learning Pathways
Organisations can create their own custom pathways or tap into one of the 'ready to use' pathways that come pre-loaded on the platform. Both options provide a structured approach to learning over a period of time.
The steps in the Pathway can be created to encourage daily or weekly activity (or less frequently if desired – the choice is yours!) The Mentor (often, but not always, the line manager) can work with L&D to create the steps and then easily manage the learning process using the Performance100 platform. The on-the-job activities are allocated to the learner in a way that means they are not overloaded and tackle necessary tasks as and when they need to. This experiential approach is invaluable for them gaining new knowledge AND putting new skills into practice at the same time.
Email us at [email protected] us or call +44 (0)1908 325 167 to discover how P100:Workflow pathways can support informal learning and a 70:20:10 approach in your organisation. And find out more about how you can tailor it to your unique requirements and build your own custom pathway.

The CST 4 is a huge step forward in the RB20, 225 and 250 market. This exhaust has been developed by Martin Cook. Having learnt what he needed to from sprinting an RB and that from the CST 3, he developed the ultimate RB touring pipe. Having run a competition early in 2017, we found that our CST 4 made huge differences in all RB's available. Instead of power and torque been around the 7500 RPM range, our pipe makes it round 4000 RPM. Not only that but the exhaust has managed to produce huge increases in torque, meaning finally the RB is a cylinder kit, with our exhaust, that can be ridden off the mark without huge amounts of throttle. Not only that but they are Hand Made here in Britain! Looking for a touring road RB exhaust that gets you huge amounts of torque and you don't have to ride it like a maniac then the CST 4 is the pipe for you!
Suitable for RB Cyclinders
Before selecting your muffler of choice we recommend checking stock levels for the specific muffler before submitting your order.

High Performing HR Practitioners Use Data Analytics
HR and business strategies can be better aligned through data analytics. In the 2016 Deloitte Human Capital Trends report, it was found that the HR function played an important role in redesigning the organization to be more globally competitive due to changes in demographics, digital technology, and the employer-employee relationship. However, they found that HR leaders need to broaden their expertise to include design thinking, people analytics, and behavioral economics. Once developed, they will be able to collect useful information to supplement informed decision-making for the best results in the work they do. HR practitioners today need to utilize this function in ways that will improve recruitment marketing strategies, boost employee engagement efforts, streamline recruitment processes, and aid in creating better training programs.
Improves Recruitment Marketing Strategies
Data analytics can be used to understand how the company's brand is viewed within and outside of the organization. According to Brad Geiser, Co-Founder of GeiserMaclang Marketing Inc., a good reputation translates to better hires and retention and better employee engagement. In addition, a study by RiseSmart, a Career Transition and Outplacement Consultant company, showed that 84% of employees are willing to leave their current employers to work for a company with a better reputation, despite minimal salary increases.
To determine company reputation, organizations need to analyze data from all their stakeholders. Rather than spend on various initiatives that may or may not work, actions can be more strategic and cost-effective so that customers, clients, vendors, and employees will value their brand more. This benefits those in HR since employee retention increases since individuals are more inclined to stay, while attraction and hiring also increases because more potential candidates want to work for organizations with good reputation.
Boosts Employee Engagement Efforts
Employee engagement itself can benefit from data analytics. By gathering data on factors that affect engagement, such as employee recognition and company culture, companies can design the most effective strategies to boost morale and increase productivity. Travis May, a General Manager at Rewardian, pointed out that employee recognition in the past and in the present vastly differ. He mentioned that it is important for employers to know how their employees prefer to receive recognition.
If managers surveyed their employees on what benefits they actually want over imposing the industry standard, workers would be more engaged with their work. Given a scenario where an employee does not have close relatives, he or she may not feel the value behind health benefits that support family members as well. By collecting small sets of data for certain age groups in an organization and customizing what the company gives them based on that information, the needs of the employees are better met and should increase overall worker satisfaction.
Streamlines Recruitment Processes
Recruitment can be improved through data analytics by streamlining the process and to make more accurate assessments of candidates to find the right-fit. Ketan Dewan, Founder of Talocity, stated that by using various tools such as AI technology, companies can use data points gathered from the best employees from a department to create the desired profile. Once the data has been analyzed and processed through an AI tool, a candidate shortlist that matches the requirements is automatically generated. This allows employers to sift through hundreds of applications to find the right-fit recruits in a shorter period of time.
Aids in Creating Better Training Programs
Data analytics identifies which company processes, practices, and programs need improvement. Through this, companies can create training programs that improve their overall workflow while providing their employees with opportunities to grow.
Jared Valdron, an organizational psychology researcher and people analytics consultant, shared that the data we should be collecting from a training session is a participant's reaction, learning, behaviour, and results from the session. This is outlined in the Kirkpatrick model, wherein the HR can gauge the effectiveness of current training programs by comparing the reaction and learning gained from the program with improvements in behavior and results.
As other business functions and positions evolve by integrating data analytics in, HR should not be left behind data-enhanced roles such as digital marketing and financial data analysts. With the current pace of how business functions change, #advancingHR should also be a top-most priority.
You are invited to discover and improve your HR analytic skills through our upcoming workshop "Introduction to HR and Workforce Analytics" on October 18, 2018. This one-day session will be taught by Gigi Geronimo, General Manager at Crawford & Company Global Business Service Centre.References:

A lovely old timber boat belonging to some lovely friends of mine had been relaunched after ten days 'on the hard' being tidied up and painted with fresh anti-fouling. I had volunteered to be a passenger/crew on her voyage home. It was only about four hours passage but that sounded like a jolly good afternoon's entertainment to me...as indeed it turned out to be.
The timbers had dried out quite a bit while she was on the slip, and water was trickling in through the hull at quite a rate. It was mildly disconcerting but the bilge pump was kicking in reliably every couple of minutes to keep things under control. It's somehow much nicer to see water on the outside of the boat rather than on the inside!! However, the skipper was not concerned and the trickle slowed over time indicating that the timber was taking the water up slowly and sealing itself again. So there you go...what a brave woman I am to go to sea in a leaky boat (wink).
Much though a sail would have been lovely and possibly a tad quieter than listening to 85 horsepower straining at the bit below decks, it was still just wonderful to be out there on the water. The wind was on the nose for most of the trip and some water splashed up on the foredeck. The skipper sighted dolphins on two occasions but I missed them and they weren't hanging about to ride the bow-wave...just passing through.
It was just myself and the skipper on board so whilst there was plenty of chit-chat there was also time and space for quiet reflection. I remembered the days when I lived aboard a steel cruising yacht and felt again that deep sense of freedom that comes from being 'out there'. It is incomparable.
Being reminded of the immense beauty and diversity of Tasmania's coastline, even viewing a relatively short piece of it, I am again so grateful to live in this wondrous place. We motored past Rossel Point (aka Burying Ground Point) which I visited recently with my two adult children. It was good to see the place from a different perspective.
Have to say that I'm looking forward to heading out again sometime...here are a few snaps I took on the way. Nothing too clever. I was busy just sitting back and enjoying the ride.

When actress Hannah Delisha read the script for Langsuir, she said it reminded her of the film Twilight as both are – at its core – a love story between a human and a supernatural creature.
"It read like a fantasy to me, with elements of romance and horror," said the 21-year-old Singaporean, who is also a recording artiste. She plays the titular mythical creature in the film.
According to Malay folklore, langsuir – a close cousin of pontianak – is a spirit of a woman who died while giving birth, with the baby also dying in the process. She is then cursed to roam the earth as a langsuir and is said to have deformed features, with long sharp fingernails. However, if a nail is hammered into her head, a langsuir will turn into a beautiful woman.
Director Osman Ali – who helmed horror Puaka Tebing Biru (2007) as well as psychological thriller Juwanita (2015) – was intrigued by the tales about langsuir when he heard stories of it when he was small.
He elaborated: "That story about a langsuir becoming a beautiful woman has stayed in my mind for a long time. I had always wanted to make a horror movie that explores relationships and insert elements from classic Malay horror films.
"I did a lot of research before writing the script and discovered new things like langsuir flies upwards and that they appear by fishermen's boats.
"I also learned during my research that unlike pontianak, where you hammer the nail at the base of the neck, for langsuir the nail has to go in at the top of the head.
"From my research too, langsuir is said to live for generations, so I thought they'd be talking in classic Malay," he reasoned when asked why the actresses playing the supernatural creatures in his film have dialogues in classic Malay.
Langsuir kicks off with a bunch of rowdy men who are at a remote island for a short holiday. Although the island is beautiful, no one lives there as it is rumoured to be home to langsuir and demonic spirits.
These men are determined to have a good time there. Unfortunately, one of them – Zaman (Firdaus Nadzaman) – thinks a good time means hunting down a langsuir and planting a nail down her head, so that he can fool around with her. Meanwhile, Azlan (Syafiq Kyle) is hypnotised by a langsuir named Suri (Hannah) to fall in love with her at first sight.
Zaman manages to carry out his mission, and the langsuir is none other than Suri. His action angers not only Azlan, but Suri's older sister (Julia Farhana), who sets out for revenge.
Osman and his crew filmed in Langkawi for almost a month, capturing scenic landscape as the drama unfolds. Some of the locations he chose include Gua Langsir, Gua Tembus, Pantai Talam Dua Muka and Teluk Datai.
Actor Firdaus recalled the shoot was challenging because of the erratic weather. "We were expecting sunny weather, but it turned out to be gloomy, and all the scenes were set outdoors," Firdaus said.
The director agreed filming Langsuir was difficult especially in the caves where there were many rock formations, which made it hard for the crew to manage the cameras and other equipment. Filming in a small tent and on the boat was also difficult, Osman shared.
"I tried to get the visual closest to what I imagined," said Osman. "Filming at night was also challenging, as we had to figure out the lighting. This took longer than I expected."
Despite all the challenges, the director and cast are hopeful that audiences will check out the film in line with the successes of Munafik 2 and Hantu Kak Limah.
"I hope people will become interested in this legend after watching Langsuir," Osman noted.

Where brilliant things happen.
Postgraduate courses at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have an enviable reputation for innovation and, accordingly, attract students from around the world. Recruitment collateral needed to be suitable for a global audience, successfully positioning UEA as a 'world leading' university.
From all four corners of the planet.
With a rapidly growing international market, UEA is witnessing an ever-increasing number of applicants from countries around the globe, including Saudi Arabia and China. Focussing on reputation, first-class teaching and ground-breaking research, we successfully positioned UEA as a world-leading option for any ambitious foreign student's next step in education.
Never limit your thinking.
'Endless opportunities', a headline encouraging potential applicants to feed their passions and think without borders. Wherever you're from, this powerful message on a stark white cover has amazing emotional impact and proved highly attractive to overseas students who wanted to go further.
Throughout, the content had to be clear and easy to navigate. We introduced a colour coding system for the course pages and used iconography to help pull out key pieces of information. Clear signposting and strong calls to action ensured applicants would always be able to find what they needed. Added depth was created with additional research case studies giving a real glimpse of life studying at UEA.
Truly global.
To tie in with distribution hubs overseas, we sourced a portion of the print from India. Keeping a close eye on the project, we visited the facility when the prospectus was in production and couldn't be happier with the final results. As was our client.

Published October 16, 2018
The Graduate School of Education, in collaboration with Buffalo Public Schools, will launch the UB Teacher Residency Program in summer 2019. The program has three goals for the initial urban teaching cohort: (1) increase the number of learner-ready teachers in the city of Buffalo; (2) diversify the pool of teachers in the city of Buffalo; and (3) increase the number of teachers who stay in the teaching profession in Western New York urban schools. The UB Teacher Residency Program was launched with the support of a Cullen Foundation grant and has since been awarded additional funding through a federal Teacher Quality Partnership grant.
Teacher residency programs are built on the medical residency model, providing a clinically-intensive pathway to certification. Resident teachers will serve alongside an expert, mentor teacher in a co-teaching capacity for a full school year while simultaneously engaging in university coursework to ensure that they have the required knowledge and skills to be effective teachers. Participating in a yearlong residency provides a deeper understanding of the community in which the residents will teach.
A key feature of this program is that each resident will receive a competitive stipend and, for residents in particular content certification areas, a tuition waiver during the yearlong residency. "Costs are a real issue for people to become teachers," said Suzanne Rosenblith, GSE dean. "The thinking is, if we can reduce the financial burden, we can attend to diversity and attract more top-quality students who wouldn't be saddled with debt." A primary goal for the initial urban teaching cohort is to increase the number of historically underrepresented minorities with a desire to work in urban schools.
During the school year, the residents will be immersed in their classrooms co-teaching with their BPS mentors. The residents will engage in coursework delivered through innovative modules sequenced to align with the learning trajectory of the school year. "The residents will take the material they are learning and apply it in the classroom to see how it's relevant; a practical merging of theory and practice," said Julie Gorlewski, chair of the Department of Learning and Instruction.
Amanda Winkelsas, director of the UB Teacher Residency Program, envisions that "teacher residents will develop an understanding of the circumstances shaping their students' lives during the year, helping the residents become more effective, culturally-responsive teachers." Research suggests that teachers prepared through a residency pathway are more likely to remain in the profession, thereby contributing to stable and positive school climates, which ultimately benefit students' learning.
Upon completion of the program, the teacher residents earn initial certification in early childhood, childhood, ESOL or adolescence education, and are better prepared to take on the challenges of an urban classroom from day one of their first teaching position. Participants in the residency program will receive ongoing professional development for the first three years of their careers through the UB Teacher Residency Consortium, which will be cultivated as the program develops.
A future goal of the UB Teacher Residency Program, depending on funding, will be to offer residency experiences in a variety of Western New York school districts. Suburban, rural or other context-specific cohorts could be formed to meet local needs.

The purpose of this article is to provide programmers with information about customizing certain aspects of a parallel query.
Objectivity/DB language bindings have supported the parallel query feature since R9.2. Standard parallel queries are described in the documentation for Objectivity/C++, Objectivity for Java, Objectivity/.NET for C#, and Objectivity/Python.
To perform a standard parallel query, you:
- Run a query server on each data-server host on which a database file resides. (The query server is described in the Objectivity/DB Administration manual.)
- Modify the application source code to use the parallel variant of the scan method where appropriate. See Method for Performing a Parallel Scan below.
You can customize a parallel query by:
- Optionally implementing one or more custom query operators and providing the implementation as a plugin to each query server, as described in the Custom Operator Support topic.
- Optionally defining a custom splitter and passing it to the method invoking the parallel scan, as described in Query Splitters below.
- Optionally defining a custom task assigner and registering it with the program as described in Task Assigners below.
- Optionally starting an in-process query server from within the querying application, as described in In-Process Query Servers below.
Note: Custom task assigners and in-process query servers can also be used to customize navigation queries that use the distributed-navigation policy. See objy::ra::navigation::Navigator in the Objectivity/C++ Programmer's Reference .
Method for Performing a Parallel Scan
Note: Parallel scans are supported in Objectivity/C++, Objectivity for Java, Objectivity/Python, and Objectivity/.NET for C#.
In Objectivity/C++:
const ooRefHandle(ooObj)& storageObject, ooMode openMode, const char* predicate, ooQuerySplitter* splitter = NULL);
This method initiates a predicate scan as a parallel query. It prepares for the iterator's
nextmethod to visit the instances of class
storageObjectthat satisfy the given predicate. The parameters
openMode, and
predicatehave the same meaning as for the existing
scanmethod for predicate scans, except that the storage object is restricted as follows:
- In an application accessing a placement-managed federated database, the scope object must be the federation itself.
- In an application accessing a non-placement-managed federated database, the scope object may be either the federation or a particular database (but not a container).
The optional parameter
splitterspecifies a custom query splitter. A value of
NULLdesignates the default splitter. The splitter class is described below.
The current transaction's MROW mode, lock wait time, server wait time, and non-quorum read property (from
ooSession::setAllowNonQuorumRead()) will be used by the transactions in the query threads, so that their behavior will be as consistent as possible with that of a scan performed locally in the current thread. The query threads will use MROW mode either if the client thread does or if the client thread is doing an update transaction.
If the predicate expression uses any custom operators, those operator definitions must be provided as a plugin, as described in the Custom Operator Support topic.
In Objectivity for Java:
ooFDObj.parallelScan(String className, String predicate); ooFDObj.parallelScan(String className, String predicate, QuerySplitter qs); ooFDObj.parallelScan(String className, ObjectQualifier oq); ooFDObj.parallelScan(String className, ObjectQualifier oq, QuerySplitter qs); ooDBObj.parallelScan(String className, String predicate); ooDBObj.parallelScan(String className, String predicate, QuerySplitter qs); ooDBObj.parallelScan(String className, ObjectQualifier oq); ooDBObj.parallelScan(String className, ObjectQualifier oq, QuerySplitter qs);
Note: The ooDBObj methods are for backward compatibility only in an application that accesses a non-placement-managed federated database.
In Objectivity/Python:
Itr FdObj.getParallelScanItr(className, predicate = '', filterName = '', \ filterData = '') Itr DbObj.getParallelScanItr(className, predicate = '', filterName = '', \ filterData = '')
You should omit the
filterName and
filterData parameters.
Note: The DBObj method is for backward compatibility only in an application that accesses a non-placement-managed federated database.
In Objectivity/.NET for C#:
Federation class:
public IEnumerable<T> ParallelScan<T>(
string predicate
where T : IReferenceableObject
Query Splitters
Note: This section applies only to applications that access non-placement-managed federated databases.
Note: Query splitters are supported only by Objectivity/C++ and Objectivity for Java.
A query splitter is implemented by an instance of non-persistent capable class
ooQuerySplitter, which is defined in header file "
ooPQE.h". The virtual methods of that class implement the default splitter, while users can define derived classes which override the methods to provide customized behavior. Derived classes will typically also hold data items, such as the limit values for a range-based splitter. For example, a typical Objectivity/C++ usage might look like:
ooItr(foo) itr; MyRangeSplitter splitter(begin_time, end_time); itr.parallelScan(scope_handle, oocRead, predicate, &splitter);
In Objectivity/C++:
The class
ooQuerySplitter has a constructor with no arguments, and the following virtual methods:
void initScan(const ooHandle(ooObj)& storageObject,
ooTypeNumber typeN, const ooExpressionTree* predicate)
Before any of the other methods are called, this will be called to pass the storage object from the call of
parallelScanand the type number of the class being iterated over. If a derived class overrides this method without overriding all of the methods, then it should call the base class method also.
predicateargument is a pointer to the predicate expression in parse tree form.
void endScan()
This method will be called when the scan is ended (either after all of the data has been processed or when the iterator's
endmethod or destructor is called). If the splitter instance was dynamically allocated, this would be a good place to delete it. An override method should also call the base class method.
ooBoolean nextRange(ooLongId & start, ooLongId & end)
This is the top-level method that actually implements the splitting of non-indexed scans. Each time it is called, it will set
endto designate the inclusive range to be scanned by one query thread. Often the two OIDs will be the same, but they could be different to specify a range of containers to be scanned. The method returns true when the OIDs are set or false when there is no more data to be scanned.
The default method calls
nextDB(if the scan scope is the federation instead of a database) and
nextCont(described below). The exact algorithm is a heuristic that will not be publicly documented.
[Note: The class
ooLongIdis not documented in the user manuals. For the purposes of implementing a query splitter, it should be sufficient to know that it supports the same methods and operators as
ooIdand is assignment-compatible with
Typically a custom splitter would be implemented by overriding the three methods above. Instead, the methods that follow could be overridden in order to modify the behavior of the default
nextRange method.
ooBoolean applicableDB(const ooHandle(ooDBObj)& dbh,
ooBoolean* filterContsPtr)
The input argument is a database handle designating an existing database. The method should return
oocTrueif the database should be scanned, or
oocFalseif it should be skipped. When the method returns true, it should also set
oocFalseif the whole database should be scanned or to
oocTrueif only selected containers are to be scanned.
The default method always returns true and sets
ooBoolean applicableCont(const ooHandle(ooContObj)& ch)
The argument is a container handle designating an existing container in a database for which
applicableDBreturned true. The method should return
oocTrueif the container should be scanned, or
oocFalseif it should be skipped.
The default method ignores the arguments and always returns true.
ooBoolean nextDB(ooHandle(ooDBObj)& dbh,
ooBoolean* filterContsPtr)
The database number in the handle will be set to the next database to be scanned after the one designated by the value of the handle on entry. Returns
oocTrueif the handle has been updated with another database to be scanned, or
oocFalseif there are no more applicable databases. When the method returns true, it should also set
oocFalseif the whole database should be scanned or to
oocTrueif only selected containers are to be scanned. The first time this is called, the handle will be null on entry and should be set to the first applicable database. This method will be called only if the scan storage object is a federation handle instead of a database handle.
The default method sets the database handle to the next database number (starting from 2) which exists and for which
applicableDBreturns true. The
filterContsPtris passed to
[Design note: it may appear redundant to have both
nextDB, but
applicableDBis needed for splitting indexed scans but may not be sufficiently efficient by itself for splitting non-indexed scans.]
ooBoolean nextCont(ooHandle(ooContObj)& conth)
The container number in the handle will be set to the next container to be scanned after the one designated by the value of the handle on entry. Returns
oocTrueif the handle has been updated with another container to be scanned, or
oocFalseif there are no more applicable containers in the same database. The first time this is called, the handle will have the database number but the container number will be 0 on entry and should be set to the first applicable container in that database. This method might not be called on databases for which
nextDBhas set
*filterContsPtrto false.
The default method sets the container handle to the next container number (starting from 2) which exists and for which
applicableContreturns true.
ooBoolean applicableObject(const ooLongId & objId)
Given the OID of an object, this method returns true if the OID should be passed to a query thread to apply the predicate and filter, or false if the object should be skipped. This would be used for splitting indexed scans or scalable collection scans. The default method calls
applicableDBand, if necessary,
Note that splitter methods will be called from the query-manager thread, in the context of its own read-only transaction. Therefore, they can't share handles with the main application code and won't see any changes to persistent data made in the application's current transaction. Any sharing of data with the application code should be done with the awareness that there will be access from two asynchronous threads. A splitter instance can be used by only one iteration at a time and must not be deleted before that iteration is terminated.
In Objectivity for Java:
Class: com.objy.db.app.QuerySplitter
void initScan(ooId obj, long typeNumber, ExpressionTree expr) boolean nextRange(ooIdPQ start, ooIdPQ end) void endScan() boolean applicableDB(ooId db) boolean applicableCont(ooId cont) ooId nextDB(ooId db) ooId nextCont(ooId cont) boolean filterContainers(ooId db) boolean applicableObject(ooId oid)
Task Assigners
Note: Task Assigners are supported only by Objectivity/C++ and Objectivity for Java.
A task assigner determines which query servers will execute which query tasks. That is, for each database or container to be searched, the task assigner identifies the particular query server that will perform the search.
The default task assigner returns the host on which the database to be searched resides. (For a replicated database, the task assigner will check which of the available replicas have a query server running on the host of the image file; if there is more than one, the tasks will be automatically divided among them.)
You can define a derived task-assigner class to override the default behavior. For each query task to be performed (that is, for each database or container to be searched), your custom task assigner should designate a group of one or more query-server hosts that are suitable for searching that data. A suitable query-server host is typically the network node on which the database file resides, or else a nearby network node. When multiple query-server hosts are designated for a particular search task, the task assigner will automatically choose whichever is currently the least busy in order to balance the load.
In Objectivity/C++:
Note: This interface is under evaluation and likely to change.
A task assigner is an instance of the following class:
class ooTaskAssigner { public: virtual ooTaskServerGroup* assignTask(const ooLongId & oid); };
Given the starting OID of a range to be searched, the
assignTask method should return an object designating one or more query-server hosts that are suitable for performing the search. If more than one host is indicated, the task will be automatically assigned to whichever query server is the least busy in order to balance the load.
The return value points to an instance of the following abstract class:
class ooTaskServerGroup { public: static ooTaskServerGroup* create(); // make an empty group static ooTaskServerGroup* create(const char* hostName); // make with one host virtual void addHost(const char* hostName) = 0; // add host to group virtual bool removeHost(const char* hostName) = 0; // remove host from group virtual int nHosts() const = 0; // return number of hosts in the group virtual const char* getHostName(unsigned index) const = 0; // return name of nth host virtual ~ooTaskServerGroup() = 0; // Internal use only: virtual opqQueryAgent* assignTask(const ooLongId & oid, ocmSession* session) = 0; };
Instances (of an internal subclass) are created by the static create method. The
addHost method can be called any number of times to add hosts to the group. The same instance can be returned from multiple calls to
ooTaskAssigner::assignTask. The application program is responsible for deleting it if it is no longer needed.
To cause a user-defined task assigner to be used, it needs to be registered by passing it as the argument to the following static method:
void ooObjy::setTaskAssigner(ooTaskAssigner* assigner)
The currently registered instance can be obtained by calling:
ooTaskAssigner* ooObjy::getTaskAssigner()
Note that task assigner registration is global for the process, not specific to the current session.
The following method is also provided:
ooBoolean ooObjy::checkQueryServer(const char * hostName);
This method returns true if a query server is running on the host named by the argument.
This can be used by a task assigner to avoid returning a host that doesn't actually have a query server running.
In Objectivity for Java:
Note: This interface is under evaluation and likely to change.The Objectivity for Java interface does not support task-assignment groups. Instead, you implement the assignTask method to return a single host name rather than a group of host names.
com.objy.db.app.TaskAssigner interface String assignTask(ooId oid) Methods in Connection class: TaskAssigner getTaskAssigner() void setTaskAssigner(TaskAssigner ta) boolean checkQueryServer(String hostname)
In-Process Query Server
As an alternative to running separate query server processes for a parallel query, you can start an in-process query server (IPQS) from within the querying application. An IPQS uses multiple threads to search multiple containers or databases in parallel.
You can run an IPQS instead of, or in combination with, any number of separate query server processes. By default, an IPQS searches only the containers and databases that reside locally on the same host running the application. You can use a custom task assigner if you want the IPQS to search data on remote hosts.
Using an IPQS has several advantages:
- The IPQS can reduce or eliminate the need for separately started query-server processes.
- The IPQS communicates its search results between threads of the same process, which is more efficient than network messaging between separate processes. Note, however, that an application using an IPQS should run on a host machine with a large number of cores.
An IPQS accepts only search tasks assigned from within the same application. If two querying applications need to search data on the same host, and one of those applications performs its search with an IPQS, you must arrange for the other application to use either an IPQS of its own or a separate query server process. (Two applications can, however, use the same query server process.)
In Objectivity/C++:
Note: This interface is under evaluation and likely to change.
The following method starts an in-process query server in an Objectivity/C++ application:
void ooObjy::startInternalQueryServer(unsigned numThreads=0);
This method loads and initializes an internal query server with the designated number of worker threads. If the argument is 0, a default number of threads will be used, which will depend on the number of processor cores.
A custom task assigner can use a host name of
NULL to indicate the use of an in-process query server.
You can pass
NULL to
ooObjy::checkQueryServer to test whether an in-process query server is running.
Configuring an IPQS:
By default, an IPQS creates its threads on demand, up to the specified number of threads, and each thread uses a session that does not perform session logging, and that is created with
cacheMaxCapacity=300, and
largeObjectMemoryLimit=0. You can change any of these properties by creating and enabling a configuration file. See the documentation for
ooObjy::enableConfiguration in Objectivity/C++ Programmer's Reference for information using configuration files.
Within a configuration file, you can add any of the following settings to configure an IPQS:
<IPQSConfiguration maximumThreads="4" // Maximum number of threads to use for running tasks/queries; // if present, overrides numThreads parameter of the // startInternalQueryServer method initialThreads="0" // Initial number of threads to create - others created on demand disableLogging ="0" // Turn off logging cacheInitialCapacity="200" // Controls session cache cacheMaxCapacity="300" // Controls session cache largeObjectMemoryLimit="0"/> // Controls session cache
If numthreads is 0, and there is no enabled configuration file (or the file does not set the maximumThreads attribute), then the number of threads used by the IPQS is 2 x numProcessors, where numProcessors is the number of processors or cores in the host machine, or 2, if the number of processors cannot be determined.

Was it the janitor in the gym with a noose?
Or perhaps the librarian in the sports hall with the school guillotine.
Pupils at Gosforth High School in Newcastle arrived for class to find headteacher Hugh Robinson had been murdered and police suspected another member of staff was responsible.
Just like in the classic whodunnit boardgame Cluedo, 30 pupils had to crack the clues and bring the killer to justice.
The 15-year-olds were taking part in the blood-thirsty project to learn more about forensic science and investigative techniques.
Officers from Northumbria Police, forensic scientists from University College London and law students from Newcastle University taught the youngsters the latest skills to try to get to the bottom of the deadly deed.
The science outreach day aimed to encourage more children to study science at university by giving them a taste of the world of crime investigation.
Amanda Leigh the school's aim higher co-ordinator said: "It's been fantastic fun for the pupils, they thought it was hilarious when they came into school and we told them the head had been murdered.
"We've given them a whole scenario with other members of staff as suspects and they really got into the story."
The students were told Mr Robinson had met his fate after a staff-appreciation celebration .
Assistant head Jonathan Norbury, librarian Pam Fitzgerald and caretaker Malcolm Barnes all stayed behind after the party to help clear up - the next morning they were prime suspects.
They were then split into five groups while they all collected different evidence to help solve the mystery.
Some pupils excavated a shallow grave on the school field, while others practiced fingerprinting techniques, took soil samples or did vegetation analysis.
They will present their evidence in a mock court case tomorrow with the help of the law students.
Fergus Dowling, 15, from Gosforth said: "It was really interesting in excavating the grave and the techniques we used to protect evidence.
"I'd like to be a forensic scientist or a scene of crime investigator."
Sophie Parker, 15, from Gosforth said: "It's been a lot of fun, its been exciting to learn all these techniques which are used to solve real crimes.
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we get to experience a trial at Newcastle University."

Nothing can be more important, at once to the comfort, and the fruitfulness of the Christian life, than a clear discernment of the difference between the Law and the Gospel. [emphasis added]
Art. III. A Treatise on the Law and the Gospel By John Colquhoun, D.D. Minister of the Gospel, Leith 12mo. pp. 351. Edinburgh: 1816.
The time is gone by in which writings like those of Dr. Colquhoun, would be sure to obtain all the consideration they deserve; not but what they will yet prove highly acceptable, and we doubt not, very
profitable to many readers.
Good and useful books may be divided into two classes; namely, those which being written under the guidance of a correct estimate of the moral and intellectual character of the times, are addressed, immediately, to the popular mind, such as it is today; and those in which the writer, possessing that intellectual vigour which repels internal influences, produces simply a transcript of his own mind, upon the subject he adopts. Works of the latter class, belong to no time, but to all ages. They are truly the property of that small number of persons who really think. They cull their readers scantily, from the millions of many centuries. Their influence upon the mass of mankind, is indirect and reflective; and so far as they obtain a contemporaneous celebrity, it is chiefly owing to some lower, or extrinsic excellence. Beside these two classes, there appears, from time to time, a straggler, which seems to have dropped behind the march of its predecessors. The book is perhaps good, but it ought to have been printed a full hundred years ago. If however, it be not of the rank that will command attention at any period, its merits may at least be such as might well apologize for a superannuated manner. It would, indeed, be a hopeful circumstance, if this green and hasty age, without being frighted by the ruff and the beard, would suffer itself to be schooled down into a little more of the carefulness, and laboriousness,and seriousness, which distinguished times that are passed. The wish that something of this sort might take place, makes us rejoice in the appearance of books like the one now before us; especially when they are accompanied, is in the present instance, by the sanction derived from the eminent worth and piety of the writer,
Dr. Colquhoun handles Theology in the manner which became general at the time of the Reformation, and which has long since ceased to be popular. It resulted immediately from that great maxim, or rather motto, of those who introduced Christianity a second time to the world: "To the Law and to the testimony." It may be designated as the forensic style. It is apt to be more occupied with terms than with, things, and is naturally produced when general attention forcibly reverts to the sense and authority of an acknowledged canon. This style neither rises among philosophical generalities, nor digresses into the regions of sentiment and imagination. It is a species of writing, perhaps, beyond any other, which taxes the attention of the reader; and this is a kind of tax which will never be readily submitted to, but in an age distinguished for laborious intellectual habits. Such is certainly not the character of the present day; and to fix the attention, is, perhaps, now, generally felt to be the most difficult and painful of all the efforts of the mind.
Dr. Colquhoun's method of presenting the subject to the reader, is as little in vogue as his manner of treating Theology. He adopts, to a great extent, the plan of a logical completeness of arrangement. For that virtual, and actual repetition of the tame thoughts, which is the inevitable fault, if it be a fault, of this attenuating plan, Dr. C. apologizes, by saying, that
'Though to some readers, there may appear, in several passages of the following work, a redundancy of words, and too frequent a recurrence of the leading sentiments, and even of the same modes of expression; yet, the Author cannot but hope that, to others, these will, in some degree, serve to render his meaning the more obvious and determinate.'The contents of the volume are arranged under twelve, general heads, in which are considered, The Law of God in general; The Law of God as promulgated to the Israelites from Mount Sinai; The properties of the Moral Law; The rules for understanding rightly the Ten Commandments; The Gospel of Christ; The uses of the Gospel, and also of the Law, in its subservience to the Gospel; The difference between the Law, and the Gospel, The agreement between them; The establishment of the Law by the Gospel, or, the subservience of the Gospel to the authority and honour of the Law; The Believer's privilege of being dead to the Law, as a Covenant of Works, with the necessary consequence of it; The great obligations under which every believer lies, to perform even perfect obedience to the Law as a rule of life; and, lastly, The nature, necessity, and desert of good works.
A very extensive, comprehensive, and well digested knowledge of the Scriptures, is exhibited in the illustration of these topics; and this knowledge is uniformly brought to bear upon the experience and practice of the Christian. If we have said a word that may seem likely to obstruct the circulation of this volume, we are persuaded that we can in no way so effectually do Dr. Colquhoun justice, as by allowing him to speak for himself. We select two or three passages, which are the most easily broken off from the connexion in which they stand. In speaking of the Law in the hand of Christ the Mediator, as a rule of life to believers, it is remarked, that
'To the law as a rule in the hand of Christ, belongs also a threatening of paternal chastisements. In order to deter believers from disobedience, as well as to promote in them the mortification of sin, the Lord threatens that, although he will not cast them into hell for their sins, yet he will permit hell, as it were, to enter their consciences; that he will visit them with a series of outward afflictions; that he will deprive them of that sensible communion with him, which they sometime enjoyed; and that he will afflict them with bitterness instead of sweetness, and with terror instead of comfort. These chastisements are, to a believer, no less awful, and much more forcible, restraints from sin, than even the prospect of vindictive wrath would be. A filial fear of them, will do more to influence him to the practice of holiness, than all the slavish fears of hell can do. A fear, lest he should be deprived of that sweetness of communion with God, with which he is favoured, will constrain him to say to his lusts, as the fig-tree in Jotham's parable, "Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over you?" "Shall I leave the spiritual delight which I had, in the communion with my God and Saviour, and have fellowship with you?" Or, if, for his iniquities, he be already under the dreadful frowns of his heavenly Father; his recollection of the comfort which he formerly enjoyed, and of which he is now deprived, will make him say, " I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now."' p. 44
Nothing can be more important, at once to the comfort, and the fruitfulness of the Christian life, than a clear discernment of the difference between the Law and the Gospel.
'If an exercised and disquieted Christian, do not distinctly know the difference between the law and the gospel, he cannot attain to solid tranquility, or established comfort of soul. He will always be in danger of building his hope and comfort, partly, if not wholly, upon his own graces and performances, instead of grounding them wholly, on the surety-righteousness of Jesus Christ; and so, he shall be perpetually disquieted by anxious and desponding fear. For since the law knows nothing of pardon of sin, the transgressions which he is daily committing, will be greater grounds of fear to him, than his graces and performances can be, of hope. The spirit of a depressed Christian, cannot be raised to solid consolation; but by being able so to distinguish between the law and the gospel, as to rely only, and with settled confidence, on the spotless righteousness of the second Adam, presented to him in the gospel, for all his title 'to the justification of life"' pp. 158, 9Dr. Colquhoun makes frequent appeals to the consciences of those who are living under the infatuation which persuades them to rest their hopes upon an already violated covenant.
'How inexpressibly miserable are they, who are alive to the law as a covenant of works! They may "have a name to live, but they are dead." They are dead to God; to the favour, the image, the service, and the enjoyment of God. They are legally dead; for they are under the tremendous curse of the violated law, and are liable, every moment, to the intolerable and eternal wrath of Almighty God. They are morally dead likewise; for they are destitute of spiritual life; and they have no inclination, nor ability, to live unto God. Such persons know not, what it is to live a life, either of justification, or of satisfaction, or of consolation. The righteous law condemns them, because they have transgressed it; and its awful sentence not only shuts them up under the dominion of spiritual death, but binds them over to all the horrors of death eternal. Oh! secure sinner, the state in which you are, is that of a criminal condemned to death, temporal, spiritual, and eternal. Do not say, " I hope, that is not my state:" for you "are of the works of the law;" you are depending on your own works, for a title to the favour of God, and the happiness of heaven; and this renders it certain, that you are under the curse or condemning sentence of the law; for thus saith the Spirit of inspiration, " As many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse.'' O renounce, and that without delay, all dependence on your own works. Believe that, the Lord Jesus with his righteousness and salvation, is freely, wholly, and particularly, offered to you; and, relying on his consummate righteousness alone, for all your right to justification and salvation, trust in him, not only for deliverance from the curse of the law, but for complete salvation. So shall you become dead to the law of works, and, in union with the second Adam, be instated in the covenant of grace.' pp. 277, 8.
