The result? Their SATs pass rate in Reading went from 60% to 93% in just one year. Folkestone PrimaryAcademy's Acting Headteacher, Sarah Uden, explains how…
When the Folkestone Primary Academy opened in 2009, too few pupils were reading at the age related expectation. Over the years, we invested in reading resources and the pupils made good improvements. However, in 2016 when the new KS2 SATs Reading test commenced, we were very disappointed to achieve 60%. I was given a book called Reading Reconsidered written by Doug Lemov which prompted me to look further into how we were teaching our children to read. The book talked about 'Lexiles' and, upon further investigation, I found that Reading Plus gave an approximate Lexile Range as to where a pupil was reading at.
We started to map the Key Stage 2 children, understanding what their Lexile Range was. In Year 5, many children were working at a Lexile rate of 230-420 and gap analysis indicated that they needed to be higher than this. We then looked at the correlation of the children's Lexile levels from Reading Plus with the results from previous SATs papers. That data gave us an insight into what level the children needed to reach to be reading at the expected standard.
For example, the data demonstrated that in order to be comfortably working at the new National Standard or above, children needed to get an old-fashioned '4A' on an old SATs paper. From our analysis, we know that the children reading at a '4A' minimum last year, were reading at a Lexile level of 950+, ideally 1000. To add further impact, we then tracked back through the year groups and have put milestones in place. This means that myself and our teachers know where pupils in Year 3, 4 and 5 need to be by the end of each academic year to be reading at their expected level for their age. This work has meant that we can really keep an eye on the progress of our KS2 children and are in a better position to identify and help those children that are struggling or falling behind.
We've used Reading Plus for a long time but now use it to far greater effect. Having made the Lexile analysis and correlation, we wanted to use the programme combined with other methods – specifically one-to-one reading with a teacher or TA.
We increased Reading Plus sessions in KS2 to three times a week and got teachers more involved – walking the room, looking over shoulders and really ensuring that the comprehension of each session they did was as good as it could be. We really bought into the concept that when it comes to Reading Plus, you really do have to be a cheerleader to get success. We also carried out frequent assessments and the teachers updated the spreadsheet with the Lexile levels termly. Anyone that hadn't, at that point, moved forward were identified and given extra sessions or focus by the teacher.
In addition to the focused sessions we also created a Champion Board that was displayed prominently in school so that the children could see it when they came out of assembly. The teachers could nominate the 'Stars' of that week, whether they were someone that had got much higher percentages than before or had moved up a level etc. In addition, we also run inter-class Cupcake Challenges. This creates excitement and really encourages and motivates the children to want to do well. We even have children asking to do extra sessions and to go onto Reading Plus during wet play break times!
Our children hadn't done any formal testing the year before as we had decided not to use the old SATs tests due to the new curriculum. We changed this so that the children get exposure to unseen texts. Every single time the children completed an old SATs paper, we put together a PowerPoint that demonstrated to the children why they had missed out on a mark, or why they got a question wrong.
Having had feedback from a marker of the new test, it was clear that they are extremely specific on vocabulary, and the definition and meaning of vocabulary. The children have to know the definition, without question, and they can no longer be vague about it. If the child cannot nail the answer, then they don't get the mark. The vocabulary side of the Reading Plus programme has helped enormously with this element.
Advice to other schools? Every child reads every day – we really have built our reputation on this. We have reviewed the balance in terms of the children's exposure to fiction/non-fiction and used Reading Plus to really enhance understanding of vocabulary and general knowledge of life which is so important for our children. Very often the SATs texts relate to experiences that children haven't encountered, so by reading more non-fiction it expands their worlds and opens their minds to new knowledge and understanding.
Reading Plus stories are so varied, it is well worth 20 minutes a day. As much as we did one-to-one reading, there is always going to be a case of a child switching off and letting their mind wander when silent reading to themselves. With Reading Plus, they know they have to concentrate because they have to answer questions at the end and the teacher will know straight away if they have got a poor score from not paying attention. It focuses the mind better and the children are very competitive with themselves and want to get good scores.

Three Pac-12 Student-Athletes Named MAC Hermann Semifinalists
SAN FRANCISCO - The semifinalists for the MAC Hermann Trophy were announced today by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). STANFORD's Andi Sullivan is one of 15 semifinalists on the women's side along with Jordan Morris and Brandon Vincent who make up two of the men's 15 semifinalists.
Sullivan is the 11th Stanford player to earn semifinalist recognition and her selection marks the 13th time overall. She earned first team All-Pac-12 honors for her work during the 2015 season as she helped lead the Cardinal to its fifth Pac-12 title in the last seven years and a trip to the quarterfinal of the NCAA Tournament. Sullivan tallied 12 points , five goals (three game-winning goals) while also leading one of the nation's best defenses as a holding midfielder. She started every game and played all but 37:30 minutes during the season.
On the men's side, Stanford is one of only three schools with two semifinalists. Morris and Creighton junior forward Fabian Herbers are the only holdovers from last season's semifinal list. The 2015 Pac-12 Player of the Year and Pac-12 All-Academic second teamer has 10 goals in 15 appearances for Stanford this season. He leads the Cardinal with career highs in both goals (10) and points (23).
Vincent, the 2015 Pac-12 Men's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year, has anchored Stanford's back line over the past four years, starting in each of his 77 appearances. The senior has also claimed back-to-back Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors, an award which was instituted last season.
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the highest individual intercollegiate award administered by the NSCAA, and presented annually at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis. Six (three men, three women) will be named finalists on Friday, Dec. 11 during the 2015 NCAA Men's College Cup in Cary, N.C. This year's trophy presentation and banquet will take place Friday, Jan. 8.

Don't forget the mac mini
The mac mini sells for $699 US dollars, witha dual 2.4 ghz processor, 2gb's of memory and a 320gb hard drive.
More memory can be added and a larger hard drive as an option.
The mini's are great machines. Mac OSX is extremely virus resistant and ships with tons of free, useful software.
I've been using mac mini's for several years now, and have hooked up a number of my clients with them for their families.
Obviously a mac mini isn't a "Mac Pro" or a high end Imac which is aimed at professional users, but it wasn't so long ago when the high end "pro" macs were no more powerful than the current mac mini.

This question already has an answer here:
- Promoting new answers to old questions 3 answers
I'd like to make a suggestion that we put a points premium on the unanswered questions on SO. Maybe every 30 days we += the point value. So after 30 days, answers are worth 20 points, after 60 days, 40 points, after 90 days 80 points, etc.
Also, for moderators at a high enough level to mark as answered if it's obvious that it was the correct answer (maybe the original poster doesn't know SO enough to mark it, or they have moved on?).
I know that personally, I often feel that many of those old questions are just not worth my time. Putting a points premium might change my attitude. Probably many other members would feel the same way.

If I enter this command to differentiate $(2+3x)^4$ I get the step-by-step output displayed here. The relevant part of the output is as follows:
Possible derivation:
$\frac{d}{d x}\left((2+3x)^4\right)$
Using the chain rule, $\frac{d}{d x}\left((3x+2)^4\right) = \frac{d u^4}{d u}0$, where $u=3x+2$ and $\frac{d}{d u}\left(u^4\right)=4u^3$:
$4(2+3x)^3\left(\frac{d}{d x}(2+3x)\right)$
I picked here a very simple example that could easily be done by hand. However, Wolfram|Alpha would use the same notation even if I picked a more complex example. I understand in basic terms what needs to be done to reach a solution, but I don't understand what the $0$ is doing in the notation.

5 Incredible Stained Glass Techniques
- Bevels Stained Glass: A very popular style of stained glass because of the abundance of rich prismatic natural light these windows let in. It is the bevels of angled glass on every side that make the lovely refractions. These levels are created by grinding and polished on the topside edges of clear glass.
- Opalescent Stained Glass: First created by John Lafarge in 1879, opalescent glass was most notably used and perfected by the Tiffany stained glass studio. This glass is milky in appearance and involves two colors swirled together. Since no two pieces of glass are the same, this type of glass technique makes for one-of-a-kind creations.
- Leaded Stained Glass: This is one of the most traditional stained glass styles. Leaded glass makes up most of the finest and well known stained glass pieces of all time. It is called "leaded' because the glass pieces are separated/connected by a line of lead caming.
- Color-Blocked Stained Glass: Color-blocked stained glass is a fantastic minimalist approach to stained glass design. Artists in this style use blocks of color to create lovely patterns with bold and bright hues. Color-blocked designs are beautiful and also very versatile since they can appear modern or vintage.
- Painted Stained Glass: This type of glass is lovely because it creates such depth on glass. It is also very durable because the shading color is painted on to glass pieces and then fired in a kiln. Once these artfully shaded pieces come together on a stained glass piece great detail can be achieved including human faces, animals, flora and more.

A 100-foot schooner ship out of Maine might be making a permanent home in Port Jefferson Harbor.
The proposal to bring the schooner to Port Jeff arrived on Mayor Margot Garant's desk only a few days ago, and is before the board of trustees for review.
It will be discussed publicly at the next Village Board Meeting.
No final decision has been made, but in an email from Garant to GreaterPortJeff.com said the proposal "looks good" as the village has been looking to partner with a tall ship for a number of years.
The owners of the Halie & Matthew and village representatives have been in talks for months about making the harbor the ship's permanent home.
"If that happens that would be an exciting thing for Port Jefferson," said Village Historian Chris Ryan, when asked about the possibility.
A tall ship committee was formed last year to explore the arrangement.
Soundings of the depth of the harbor were taken last winter to make sure the schooner could dock here. The ship would berth at the village pier in Jeanne Garant Harborfront Park, where the Seawolf, a marine research vessel for Stony Brook University, is currently docked.
Ryan said that the pier is a tight fit, but after measurements were taken it was found it would work for the Halie & Matthew.
He described the ship as having a 24-foot beam and 90-foot mast. It could hold up to 100 people.
The ship will be available for charters and events.
Port Jefferson's maritime history is well-known, and continues to this day.
There were over 40 different shipbuilding yards in the village over the course of its history, and over 500 major ships were produced here, Ryan said.
The Halie & Matthew was launched in Eastport, Maine, in 2004. It was built by John Bishop and Capt. Butch Harris, according to reports in The Working Waterfront, a website that covers Maine's coast and islands.
In 2010, the schooner assisted in relief efforts by bringing supplies to earthquake victims in Haiti. After that trip, the ship made port in Greenport and talks were underway to make that village its home, according to reports at the time. Those plans never came to fruition.
GreaterPortJeff reached out to the owners of the Halie & Matthew through a representative, but as of the writing of this article has not been contacted by them regarding the plan.
The representative confirmed the deal, and said the Halie & Matthew was going to have a "possible new home in Port Jefferson."
Currently the ship is in Portland, Maine.
This is a developing news story and we will update with new information as it becomes available.

Injury-stricken Crystal Palace continue will their tough run of fixtures when they host Manchester United on Monday night.
The Eagles are embarking on a streak of games that has already seen them play Tottenham Hotspur last weekend before they host the Red Devils, travel to Chelsea and then host Liverpool after a trip to Huddersfield Town. They dropped into the relegation zone following Swansea City's emphatic 4-1 victory against West Ham United and risk being cut adrift with Southampton also earning a point.
The mother of all injury crises has depleted Roy Hodgson's squad. Just 12 of their then 24-man squad were fit to play in the 1-0 defeat to Spurs last weekend but the arrival of veteran goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri on a free transfer this week has boosted the numbers, along with the expected returns of Martin Kelly and Jeffrey Schlupp.
Palace will face Jose Mourinho's side with no fewer than ten first team absentees, including the influential Wilfried Zaha, Yohan Cabaye and Mamadou Sakho. It would seem a mammoth task to earn points against a Man United side showing signs of rekindling their good form having beaten Chelsea 2-1 last weekend, but the depleted Eagles were very good against an excellent Tottenham side and would have taken a point had Damien Delaney not lost track of goal-scorer Harry Kane with just two minutes of normal time left to play.
Pogba rift solved and Sanchez hoping his United career sparks into life
The reported rift between Mourinho and Paul Pogba appears to have been resolved and the Frenchman played well in the victory against Chelsea, which left them six points ahead of the Blues in the Premier League table. Pogba was pivotal in this fixture last season, scoring the first goal in the 2-1 victory, despite a hint of offside, while also setting up Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winner.
Another key player who must hit form for United if they are to nail down second-place for the remainder of the season is Alexis Sanchez. The January signing from Arsenal has so far failed to live up to expectations early in his Old Trafford career and will hope for a repeat of his performance for Arsenal at Selhurst in December when he struck twice in a 3-2 win. United's incentive for a victory against Palace is to move above Liverpool and behind rivals Manchester City, who currently have a 15-point lead at the top of the table.
United have six players unavailable for the game. Ibrahimovic and Marouane Fellaini - who netted a brace in the reverse fixture - are long-term absentees, while defenders Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones are also out. Ander Herrera completes the list.

Teen Titans #1 and Justice League Dark #1 Reviews!
First of all, let me say that there is definitely an audience for Justice League Dark. The book combines enough characters that have their own distinct fan bases and followings that pooling them all into a book like this is a good idea. So far we see Madame Xanadu, who narrates the mystical action of this story, John Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman and Shade the Changing Man. All of these various people are called together to take on Enchantress, a figure who has spiraled out of control and is using magic to take down the likes of Wonder Woman, Superman and Cyborg. The various characters begin to come together to battle her, and the issue ends on a predictably cryptic note. It is, after all, a book surrounded by prophecy and magic. The book felt strikingly similar to the way Justice League of America began a few weeks ago, and the book sometimes relies too heavily on the idea that magic has to always be mysterious and vague to pull out the story. I would be intrigued to read a second issue though. Grade: B-
Over in the pages of Teen Titans #1, things get off to a frenzied start. Some young pest named Kid Flash is running around trying to save lives in between mugging for television cameras. The resulting "help" ends up causing more harm than good in this first issue, as a minor blaze becomes a roaring house fire. After this incident, we're shown a scene where Tim Drake, AKA Red Robin, is listening to news from all over the world about the rise in teenage metahuman activity. Several familiar faces are seen, and soon, Drake is off to locate Cassie Sandsmark, whom the media has dubbed Wonder Girl due to her recent activity and similarity to another famous female hero. Apparently, a group called N.O.W.H.E.R.E. is on the hunt for these teens, and both Cassie and Tim get to show off some power on the run from the group, but not all that much. It's a pretty tame beginning for a group of such high-powered kids. Reading Superboy #1 ties into this issue, but it's not a necessity to read it with this issue. Overall though, it's just a notch above Justice League Dark in establishing itself. Grade: B

☆ grow 成長する
One thing that most people believe about business is that you need to grow and in order to grow, you need to hire staff and make the company bigger. Interestingly, a man called Paul Jarvis has recently published a book called "Company of One."
His book is all about staying small! Instead of just growing your business by making it bigger, he says you should think about making your business better instead of bigger. His idea is that you need a rich life, not to actually be rich. He says the key to doing this is not to grow to a big scale company, but instead work for yourself, determine your work hours, and become a highly profitable and sustainable company of one.
This book is definitely on my "Must Read" list!

Kotki Dwa - 'Staycations'
A brilliant playful thing full of summer gems
Their name translates as 'Two Kittens' in Polish. They recorded their album in conjunction with the National Trust. But wait! Banish those thoughts of a hybrid, hipster Mumford & Sons, for Kotki Dwa's second effort is actually a brilliantly playful thing, less toffs-on-a-jolly than Wave Pictures on a tropical island (infinitely better). Meeting somewhere in the lovely middle ground between Orange Juice eccentricities and pre-Americana Mystery Jets pop nous, the likes of 'Guests' and 'Bad Timing' are pure, shimmering summer gems, pitting singer Alex Ostrowski's pleasantly nasal timbre against chirruping synths and afrobeat rhythms. Definitely worth preserving.

"There are many ways to cook pork belly. Some love the outside crackling crispy and crunchy, but this recipe is for a soft and sticky belly. You can achieve a crispy crackling by raising the temperature of the oven to maximum for 10 minutes at the end of the cooking period. I don't do this, though, because it often burns the sugar in the honey and the final product may come out bitter. The quantities given here should be read as a rough guide. The reason for this is that each pork belly is different in size, weight and amount of meat and fat. So use your discretion. I used to tie the pork belly (called trussing) with thick string, but if you fold the belly correctly you won't need to do this. It's a bit of a schlep to untie once the belly is cooked."

Coordinator Spotlight: Tina Cowsert at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
I interviewed Tina Cowsert recently about her process of acclimation to her new position as Access Specialist for Deaf/HOH and Blind/Low Vision students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is a bustling and extensive department, and I was aware that TypeWell was likely only a small portion of Tina's position, particularly in the first few weeks, so I checked in with her about two months after her start date for this interview.
It is apparent how pivotal a strong supervisor can be for the success of TypeWell services at a given university.
My first meeting with Tina months before, she had given an apologetic shrug about her (temporary) lack of knowledge and carefully listened to my brief description of what I do as a TypeWell transcriber, before promising to get herself up to speed. It is clear that the steps she has taken to understand TypeWell and her role as the university's coordinator and advocate for speech-to-text services were effective. When I arrived to interview her, she was prepared, confident, and warm.
What did you know about TypeWell before you were hired for this position?
TC: Nothing. I hadn't even heard of it. I had heard of court stenographers, and closed captioning for the deaf, but I had never seen or heard of something that seemed more like "live" closed captioning.
What, if anything, did you learn about it before your start date?
TC: I went into panic mode. I got on the internet and did a bit of research. At the beginning, I was confused about the different types [of transcription services]. I thought they were all the same.
Did TypeWell come up during your application process?
TC: It came up at the interview. I wasn't sure what they were talking about. I knew TypeWell was something I would have to learn more about. That was at the top of my priority list.
Tina Cowsert at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with her Certificate of Completion from TypeWell 101, a course offered through TypeWell's Learning & Enrichment Online.
What proportion of your job is related to transcribing services for students?
TC: About a third of my job is scheduling TypeWell and CART services. I also have to advocate for the services we provide. So part of my job is emailing and phoning prospective students who are inquiring about what is on offer. The beginnings of the semester are about scheduling, but two months in, most of my work is about educating and informing students about what is available.
In a related question, do you consider yourself fully informed now to help students understand what TypeWell is and how it is distinct from other transcribing services?
TC: I am absolutely the voice for TypeWell here. I explain differences from other options, and how it can be used in the classroom. I explain how transcribing options are different from receiving class notes from a peer.
Tina spoke to how she now considers herself to be a clear TypeWell advocate:
TC: I am not done learning, and I wouldn't say I know everything about it, but the class that I just took was wonderful.
Speak to the training course you took, TypeWell 101: What Service Coordinators Need to Know. Was it required? If not, what made you decide to take the course? Was it helpful, and if so, in what ways?
TC: That class opened my eyes and was a life-saver for the job I have to do. I was already impressed with Kate Ervin. She had contacted me and introduced herself, and offered assistance. She told me about the coordinator's class and I asked permission to take it.
So it was not required, but [my request] was easily accepted. It was a great place to begin understanding what it is, how it helps students, and how to explain it and talk about it to prospective students. The training course was worth my time and effort, and I am better for it.
"Every single thing about the class was useful, effective, and informative."
I printed everything just as a reference in case I forget something. We looked at students, the transcribers, the technology, and then finally, how to be an effective coordinator. The resources were also key: sample job descriptions, evaluation tools, licensing rules, etc. Those were details that I don't know how I would have gotten elsewhere.
Was there an aspect of TypeWell that you found surprising?
TC: I was impressed that transcribing is similar to sign language interpreting, because I do have experience with that. I interpreted my way through college. The idea of listening first, signing meaning-for-meaning, and then communicating — that aspect makes sense to me. There is nothing wrong with verbatim, but I see such logic in the meaning-for-meaning in terms of not exhausting the deaf student, offering them an accurate representation in a way that mirrors how their peers get it.
At the beginning, I was confused about the different types [of transcription services]. I thought they were all the same.
I also appreciate the transcripts, the fact that you can refer to them whenever you want to. With a peer notetaker who isn't trained, you may not understand their notes, they may not catch everything, etc.
I am so impressed with everything I have seen: the services, the people, even my peers in my TypeWell 101 class. They were willing to discuss, post scenarios, and exchange information, and the instructors let us figure out a lot on our own, while being supportive as needed.
When I asked if there was anything else she wanted to convey, Tina's passion for her work was incandescent:
TC: I have had so many friends, students, and peers who are deaf or hard of hearing. To have people dedicated to helping you succeed, and meet your dreams: that is what I have done with my whole life, and I want to make it as smooth as possible for students to find what they need and deserve.
"Everyone has a calling," says Tina, "and this is mine."
Clearly, TypeWell is a key tool in the array of services that Tina has at hand to offer her students, and as a recent TypeWell aficionado myself, I share her enthusiasm. In a recent pepnet course for beginning TypeWell transcribers, one of the running themes was coordinator support and awareness; it is apparent how pivotal a strong supervisor who has departmental support can be for the success of TypeWell at a given university. Tina, with the backing of DRES, fills that role with aplomb.

I have a collection of as built drawings stored as PDF's and wanted to automate the creation of image files being used as thumbnails in a web application. I was wondering if anyone has done this before. I am currently using the Workbench 2018 PDF reader and attempting to rasterize using either ImageRasterizer or MapnikRasterizer.
Hi @lopes8
You can enable Read Rasterized Page parameter (Non-Spatial section) of the PDF reader parameters dialog which will render an image of each page and produce it as a raster feature (documentation here). You should be able to skip the ImageRasterizer or MapnikRasterizer if you use this parameter.
I hope this helps.

Copa America 2019: Cavani header gave Uruguay a win over Chile
Rush Hour Sport June 25, 2019 CHile, Copa America 2019, Edinson Cavani, header, Uruguay, Win No comments
A late Edinson Cavani header gave Uruguay a win over Chile that secured top spot in Copa America Group C and sets up a quarter-final with Peru.
The Paris St-Germain striker glanced in Jonathan Rodriguez's cross in the 82nd minute to decide a hard-fought game.
Luis Suarez missed Uruguay's best chance of the first half, seeing a shot deflected wide with an unmarked team-mate on his shoulder.
It was the sides' first Copa America meeting since a stormy 2015 match.
Four years ago, Cavani was sent off in Uruguay's 1-0 last-eight defeat after reacting to Chile's Gonzalo Jara putting a hand on his buttocks.
Former West Brom and Nottingham Forest defender Jara was subsequently given a three-match ban.
Chile will face Colombia, the only team to have won all three of their games in the tournament, in this year's quarter-finals after being beaten to top spot in the group by Uruguay.
Ecuador bowed out with a 1-1 draw against Japan but coach Hernan Gomez insisted his leadership was not behind his team's failure to make the last eight.

It's St Patrick's day, and I've invited Irish freelance writer, Mary Costello, to be my guest blogger. Mary gives us a few tips on what not to do on St Patrick's Day. Enjoy, and have a very Irish day 🙂
"It's St Patrick's Day, and ex-Pats everywhere will be expected to trot out the blarney, down multiple pints of the black stuff, and sing 47 verses of Danny Boy. Don't blame us exiles. To be sure we play up, we do the leprechaun; but foreigners expect that kind of thing and we don't like to disappoint.
It happens all year round, but it's in plague proportions mid-March. Wherever we are in the world locals accost us with, "Ah to be sure, to be sure," Or "Begorrah and bejapers," – all in their atrocious Ballykissangel accents. I've tried to tell them that no Irish person has ever said either of those things; that we don't even know what they mean.
I live down here in Oz. There is no Irish quarter in Melbourne, where we could congregate and sing, "The Old Bog Road. There are no Irish fast-food outlets, serving potato bread, Ulster fries or fresh baps. True, there are purportedly Irish pubs, from Port Melbourne to Abu Dhabi, but that's strictly the Disney version of home, not to be taken seriously by anyone passing as the genuine article.
There is a Celtic Club. It's the real Mc Coy. I've been there once or twice, but the shamrock-patterned carpet gave me a migraine; and there wasn't that much on offer for the non-drinking vegetarian exile.
Practitioners of crass Celtickery are usually second generation. But at this time of year even fresh exiles get homesick and act the lig. There are gatherings of the tribes in exotic places like New York, where real Irish people, who should know better, turn out in neon green, decorated with giant paper shamrocks, walking over-heated wolfhounds and singing that American ditty When Irish Eyes are Smiling.
Of course those of you who actually live in our emeraldest of isles aren't obsessed with your Irishry. You blasé residents don't think even think about it. It's a fact of your existence, like gender and hair colour. But the exile can't help but flaunt the old ethnic origins, like the mark of Cain. It's not our smiling eyes, nor cascades of red ringlets that give us way. We pasty-faced types tend to blend in, until we open our mouths.
Then someone always exclaims: "Aha! You're Irish!" Yes, I am, and it's lovely. I'm very lucky. I might have been born in Kosovo, or Palestine or Afghanistan, and then where would I be? But I take no credit for an accident of birth. And being Irish isn't my only, nor even my dominant characteristic.
But then someone else will say: "I see you've still got that gorgeous accent." And why wouldn't I still have it? Every day for the past 30-odd years people have been telling me how gorgeous it is. I've had no incentive to get rid of it.
Then comes the truth: "My mother's Irish." Of course she is. Everyone is ultimately Irish, from Bill Clinton to Grace Kelly, from Kiri Te Kanawa's mother to Muhamed Ali's great-granda. Because we populated the earth.
The locals must give us our due. Ramadan, Hanukkah and Chinese New Year have come and gone and it's our turn for a bit of attention and sympathy. We'll be needing it. We'll be homesick. We'll be yearning for the green Glens of Antrim, the hills of Donegal, the fields of Athenry, and a neat little town they call Belfast.
Now, as an aid to inter-racial harmony, I'm issuing the following guidelines to locals, on how to handle a homesick Irish person on St Patrick's Day.
- try not to refer to us Paddies as 'Colleen', 'Paddy', 'Boyo' or 'Jock' – people sometimes get confused,
- steer clear of Irish jokes, unless you're up for a five-hour political discussion,
- don't say: "My ancestors came from Ireland – the Cromwells of Drogheda",
- patronise no drinking establishment selling green beer,
- on no account do the "Begorrah and bejapers" routine,
- don't tell us you used to work in Belfast – you were in the SAS.
- And, crucially, although Danny Boy would take the tear out of a glass eye, there are other Irish songs; e.g. Mustang Sally. So don't ever, ever ask any Irish person to sing that sweet old Derry Air. Because they'll definitely oblige; and then you'll be the sorry one.
Not that anyone will listen. They'll be rolling up to me tomorrow, waving a bottle of something like Jameson, and yelling, "I love the Irish, mate – that Billy Connolly is bloody brilliant"."
– Mary Costello

Directed by Alex Ross Perry
Country: USA
"Golden Exits", the very much-expected return of 33-year-old American writer/director Alex Ross Perry, happens to be a futility, regardless the dedication of its ensemble cast. Embracing a one-tone ambiance, this low-key drama is deeply anchored in indulgent conversation, lacking the poetic vision of "Listen Up Philip" and the claustrophobic tension of "Queen of Earth", which remains Perry's best film so far.
Perry imagines a 25-year-old Australian woman named Naomi (Emily Browning) arriving in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens, NY, to fill the position of archivist required by Nick (Adam Horovitz), a local bourgeois. Perspicacious and attractive, Naomi is a natural seducer and her daily presence with the boss - five feet apart and nine hours a day - becomes a concern for his wife, Alyssa (Chloe Sevigny), who already went through some tribulations in the past regarding infidelity. Also, his unmarried and ever-present sister-in-law, Gwen (Mary-Louise Parker), a manipulative liar according to him, doesn't squander the chance to speculate a bit more and warn everyone she's attentive. She usually confides with her assistant, Sam (Lily Rabe), whose presence feels redundant, as she doesn't add anything worthy to the story.
Regardless the suspicious atmosphere lived in Nick's house, Naomi doesn't make a move toward her boss. It's quite the opposite, actually, since she sends him home on his birthday, after an unexpected visit in the middle of the night. However, she decides to re-direct her seducing spell to Buddy (Jason Schwartzman), a family friend of her age who lives in the neighborhood and recently opened a music studio with his wife, Jess (Analeigh Tipton).
The material, feeding on both complex and unbalanced relationships, only works sparsely. At the minimum sign of surprise or tension, everything gets lost in the rational monotony of the dialogues. Moreover, the characters feel shallow and distant, making us not to care about their residual problems. Every problematic circumstance they might experience seems to have exactly the same emotional weight.
Cinematographer Sean Price Williams kept emphasizing the warm tones of the captured images in order to compensate the coldness and linearity of the fictional individuals. However, not even the numerous close-ups did the magic trick.
Emotionally parched, "Golden Exits" is a film of misconceptions based upon choices, behaviors, and romantic frustrations. In the end, it leaves us stiffly cold and utterly disappointed.

Some internet firms see hog heaven in pork market
The supply and price of pork has received a lot of attention recently in China due to African swine fever, and local governments have unveiled policies to stabilize prices and encourage pig farming.
China is the world's biggest pork producer and consumer, producing about half of the world's total. Over the past 10 years, Chinese hog farmers raised more than 650 million pigs, with an annual pork consumption of 50 million tons.
Statistics showed that the value of the market related to pigs is expected to be as high as 3 trillion yuan, which includes 1.4 trillion yuan direct from the pork industry, Futures Daily reported. Pork is the most commonly consumed meat in most parts of China.
Faced with a mega market and high returns, some internet companies have also followed suit.
NetEase quietly began to raise organic, non-GMO black pigs about 10 years ago. In 2015, NetEase CEO Ding Lei served it to a group of internet bosses, turning the pork into an online hit.
In November 2016, a black pig from NetEase Weiyang, the agricultural affiliate of NetEase, was auctioned off for 270,000 yuan. After that, the pork was formally sold on NetEase's e-commerce brands Yanxuan and Kaola, with a price tag of 48 yuan for 0.5 kg. It also opened physical stores.
NetEase Weiyang received 160 million yuan in A-round financing in April 2017, led by Meituan Dianping and Sinovation Ventures. Next, the company announced its plan to build a 3,400 mu (226.66 hectare) pig farm in Gaoan county, Jiangxi province.
Last March, Aliyun, Alibaba's cloud computing subsidiary, announced that the company plans to put AI technology into the pig farming industry. Presently, Aliyun has invested hundreds of millions of yuan in this project, and predicted the number of pigs being raised to reach 10 million by 2020.
Chinese e-commerce giant JD also set up its agriculture and animal husbandry unit last November, putting pig facial recognition technology into pig farming. This high technology can identify different pigs by their faces, monitor them and record their weight and health condition.
However, the smart pigs from Aliyun and JD are not ready for slaughter for the market just yet. We can imagine that under the high-tech pig farming project, the risks of pigs infected by African swine fever could be controlled while reducing cost increases in the future.
Wang Ying, an analyst at Hua Chuang Securities, said that pork prices in China will keep rising in the short term after African swine fever spread around the country since August last year. In the middle term, the average price of pork is expected to top 30 yuan per kilogram.
