KS3 Geography
A high quality geography education should inspire in students a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip students with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth's key physical and human processes. As students progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth's features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
The National Curriculum for geography aims to ensure that all students:
- develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places – both terrestrial and marine – including their defining physical and human characteristics and how these provide a geographical context for understanding the actions of processes;
- understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time;
- cover key topics of Map Skills, Rivers, Glaciation, Natural Hazards, Population, Urban Environments, Ecosystems, Weather Hazards and case studies of various countries and places.
Geographical skills will be developed in the following areas:
- collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes;
- interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS);
- communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length.
KS4 Geography
The course of GCSE Geography is created by AQA and covers a stimulating blend of traditional and contemporary geography to suit a wide range of students. It combines the study of physical and human geography in discrete, self-contained topic areas. It will inspire students to become global citizens by exploring their place in the world, their values and responsibilities to other people and to the environment.
Students will travel the world from their classroom, exploring case studies in the United Kingdom (UK), higher income countries (HICs), newly emerging economies (NEEs) and lower income countries (LICs). Topics of study include climate change, poverty, deprivation, global shifts in economic power and the challenge of sustainable resource use. Students are also encouraged to understand their role in society, by considering different viewpoints, values and attitudes.
Students will develop the links between interdependence of physical environments and the interaction between people and the environment. Students will learn to appreciate the differences and similarities between people, places and cultures leading to an improved understanding of societies and economies. Furthermore students will develop an understanding of the need for sustainable management of both physical and human environments.
Fieldwork will encourage questioning, investigation and critical thinking about issues affecting the world and people's lives. Students will use varied resources including maps and visual media as well as complex technologies such as GIS and remote sensing, to obtain, present and analyse information ready for the Paper 3 examination.
Students will develop essential skills such as problem solving, decision making, synthesising ideas, identifying issues and communicating findings through the undertaking of a fieldwork investigation, individually and as part of a team. The Geography specification has strong links with other subjects, including citizenship and ICT, and areas of the curriculum such as science which focus on sustainability and the global dimension.
Course will be assessed in the following ways:
Paper 1: Living with the Physical Environment
Section A: The Challenge of Natural Hazards
Section B: The Living World
Section C: Physical Landscapes in the UK
Written Paper – 1 hour 30 minutes – 88 + 3 SPaG marks –35%
Paper 2: Challenges in the Human Environment:
Section A: Urban Issues and Challenges
Section B: The Changing Economic World
Section C: The Challenge of Resource Management
Written Paper – 1 hour 30 minutes – 88 + 3 SPaG marks– 35%
Paper 3: Geographical applications
Section A: Issue Evaluation
Section B: Fieldwork
Written Paper - 1 hour 15 minutes – 76 + 6 SPaG marks – 30%.

I have 2 jboss instances. Clients connect to the first app1 on jboss1, which connects to the second app2 on jboss2 :
client-> jboss 1 ->jboss2
This means that each method that is invoked on jboss1 invokes some method(s) on jboss2. JBoss1 is just another client from Jboss2 point of view
I have to log all user activity. Each jboss instance writes to it's own log file.
I am ussing an interceptor to log all application's bean/method invocations on each jboss instance.
public Object intercept(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
I want establish reliable corelation between jboss1 log and cluster jboss logs.
How can I obtain client (jboss1) information on jboss2?
Or, if that is not possible, how can I pass some context information from jboss1(app1) method to jboss2(app2) method, without explicitly changing method signature on app2?
Ideally the information should be available on InvocationContext.getContextData() on the jboss2, but I don't know how to set contextdata on InvocationContext.
Looking at InvocationContextImpl.java I can see that getContextData tries to get the metadata from ClientInterceptorUtil:
metadata = ClientInterceptorUtil.getClientMetadataMap(wrapped);
I don't know how/where to set the data to ClientInterceptorUtil.

|It wasn't all singing, all dancing for the new Ducati recruits…
Photo: Ducati
Dani Pedrosa has topped the first day of MotoGP testing in Sepang by just 0.008sec off Jorge Lorenzo, with Marquez only a further 0.044sec further back. Valentino Rossi is closer than he's been in 2 years and just under half a second off the Spaniard's fastest time; considering it's the first time he's ridden the 1000cc M1 in the dry, I'd be quite happy.
Stefan Bradl was a further two tenths back from the doctor on his factory-spec RC213V with Cal Crutchlow in 6th, followed by Bautista. Bradley Smith in his dry MotoGP debut was 2.3 seconds off the pace and faster than new Ducati recruit Andrea Dovizioso.
Espargaró was fastest of the CRTs and 2.4 seconds off the lead followed by team mate de Puniet, however faster than both Pramac Ducati riders Iannonne and Spies, who found themselves lapping three seconds slower than Pedrosa's fastest time. Spies still claims his shoulder injury is not 100%.
Barbera was third in the CRT category followed by PBM newbie Hernandez and former Ducati man Abraham. Britain's Michael Laverty had a positive first day finishing in 25th ahead of Pesek, Staring and Edwards.
Testing continues tomorrow. Times below.

Hitler's Empire: Nazi Rule in Occupied Europe by Mark Mazower, Ira D. Wallach professor of world order studies, Columbia University. Penguin, £12.99, ISBN 9780141011929
"It was always a source of puzzlement to the Nazis why the British didn't support their imperial ambitions. After all, as Mazower reveals, the British Empire was held up as a model by the Nazis. Mazower's greatest achievement is to show how the Nazi project, which ended in a programme of racial extermination, began as an expression of narrowly defined nationalist ambitions. As he puts it, how a war for Germans became a war against Jews; how the concept of a Greater Germany evolved into Hitler's policy of Lebensraum, then was hastily recast - after a run of military successes that surprised even the Nazis - as a plan for a whole New Order for Europe."
Ian Pindar, The Guardian
Mary Tudor: England's First Queen by Anna Whitelock, lecturer in early modern history, Royal Holloway, University of London. Bloomsbury, £20.00, ISBN 9780747590187
"Tudor history has long depended on blaming Mary Tudor for all the violence of the dynasty. In her short reign, Whitelock reveals, Mary did many of the same things with which Elizabeth is often credited by later historians. Like Elizabeth, she attempted religious tolerance but was forced to abandon it when her subjects became treasonous. And, like Elizabeth, she convinced Parliament to treat her with respect. Whitelock shows that Mary respected her troublesome sister even though Elizabeth's mother had been the cause of all her miseries."
Diane Purkiss, Financial Times
The Uses and Abuses of History by Margaret MacMillan, professor of history and warden of St Antony's College, Oxford. Profile Books, £11.99, ISBN 9781846682049
"The idea that drives this book is that we have all become too frivolous about our history. The turbulence of the last 20 years has sparked a return to the past to gain some perspective. But, argues MacMillan, we have become sloppy in the process. Her book offers a reminder of why we should be careful about how we engage with our past. The result is an extremely readable overview of the use and misuse of history."
Edward King, The Sunday Times
Theology in the Context of Science by John Polkinghorne, former professor of mathematical physics, University of Cambridge. Yale University Press, £9.99, ISBN 9780300149333
"Polkinghorne's book is unlikely to have much impact on those on either side of the science-religion divide who are adamant that the two topics exist in different realms and have no common language whatsoever. It is likely to appeal to theologians who need some encouragement to incorporate science into their studies, and to thoughtful people - including scientists - who are prepared to listen to some well-reasoned arguments for considering theology to answer questions that science cannot. Just as long as everyone who chooses to inform their philosophy with quantum mysteries does so with considered restraint."

After a time look for an old tree and do the same....... I promise just being in the presence of an old tree you will feel calmer and it does seem like your thoughts have more wisdom and somehow go deeper.
Try it and see.
I think the trees are like our deep ancestors. They have seen more and heard more than we will ever know. Take some time today and learn from the trees. Start a relationship with an Elder of the earth.
I would love to hear how you get on with this little exercise.

I've been doing a lot of stuff these last couple days involving meetings and other things that have either kept me away from my computer, or haven't allowed multitasking. This is probably the longest I've gone without an entry in months. Not that my hit counts seem to have been affected very much, though when you've got the word "history" in your title, people with all kinds of weird searches find their way to you.
Nor did anyone write to make sure I was okay, which apparently is something that people like Instapundit and Wonkette have to deal with all the time. Thank goodness I didn't have to deal with all that e-mail. Whew. Dodged a bullet there….

Hello School and 6th + 1st Grades
Summer came to an end much too quickly and it's time to hit the books again. Yesterday, Shelby and Cooper went back to school, 6th and 1st grades respectively. Both kids were super excited to go back to school.
Shelby started middle school, which means lots of changes though she's still at the same school she's be at since 2nd grade ... just in a different building. Shelby is excited about middle school and the feeling of being one of the older kids at their school. She picked wood shop and comic book arts for her electives. She got a locker, which pretty much made her the happiest kid, ever. She's almost as tall as me, and I'm sure in a year or two she'll tower over me. She's started to be a bit more particular about her hair and how she looks. She asked to go to the salon the day before school started and get a blow out, which is a huge shift from my little girl who was happy to wear baggy clothes and be covered in mud. It took her hours and stops at four different stores to find the perfect first-day-of-school outfit. Shopping with her is a chore; she's become so, so particular. But she's has a sweet, tender heart and you can't help but adore her, even when she's taking 30 minutes to decided which socks would be best.
Cooper was bouncing off the walls the night before school started. He loves school and loves being surrounded by his friends. His teacher, Crystal, is kind and calming, which the perfect mix for Cooper. He's a whiz at math, so first grade the emphasis will be on reading. Cooper loves to tell stories and makes/writes his own books. He fills pages and pages of ideas and drawings. On his first day, he had the wiggliest front tooth, that finally came out just before bedtime. Immediately, he sounded different, especially when it comes to the letter "s". He's still wearing his hair short, since it's so hot here. When we went shopping for an outfit to wear on the first day of school, it took him all of two minutes to pick it out: Minion shirt, shorts, Minion shoes and a hat. He had to have the hat. He's very serious about his style. Cooper is a bundle of joy. He's almost always happy and is a friend to all. He's such a kind, loving and even tempered kiddo. He's the perfect bookend to our family.
Though I was a little sad to see our summer break end, I was also ready for school to start. I love routines and especially love the routine of school. We're much more productive and organized during the school year and if there are too things I really love, they are productivity and organization! As the kids head back to school, I too am focused on learning. I've been taking a Spanish class, and plan on devoting even more time to refreshing my Spanish language skills. I'm also looking for a couple of art classes to take at night or on the weekends. There is a printmaking class I'm looking at, as well as an abstract painting class. It's back to school for all of us ... a season of learning. And that makes me even happier than routines, order and productivity.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are spotted together several times started from Met Gala 2017 and now we feel like it's almost confirmed that the two are dating each other. Though confirmation from the duo is still not official, their meetings and social media stories definitely prove that there is something cooking between the two.
Priyanka, 34, and Nick, 24, also went to New Jersey to attend Nick's cousin wedding, where the two were snapped holding hands. Nick couldn't take his eyes away from his lady love and be constantly gazing PeeCee in the golden sheen dress.
While, after that, the two also got captured on a romantic Lunch date.
Well, their link-up rumours are only getting fuels as there is also buzz in town, as PeeCee has recently bought beach facing new home worth 100cr in Mumbai and soon she will be shifting there. So, Reports are coming up that Former Miss World is thinking to move in with Nick as she is really serious about them.
It is also been speculated that Nick previously has said that he wanted to come to India, maybe Nick is planning to visit India for the Housewarming Party arranged by his love. Also, a source close to the couple revealed, "Nick is telling pals that Priyanka is the one and he's asked her to move in with him. Nick loves that Priyanka is older and more mature than his exes. There's no game playing. They have a really easy relationship".
The duo never hid from the shutterbugs and after Priyanka met Nick's parents it looks quite obvious that the duo is thinking to take their relationship to the next, level.
Yes, you heard that right! Soon you can see Priyanka and Nick living together.
Earlier it was also revealed by Nick's friend, that, "Nick is captivated by Priyanka, he loves older women and she's so international and sophisticated. She really turns him on. He says he's never met another woman like her. He's very caught up. No one is expecting him to settle down with her. Nick's very sweet and charming and he knows how to treat a woman but he's still in player mode. It's a dangerous combination because he really is a great guy. It's hard not to fall in love with him."
Well, we are waiting to see PeeCee and Nick Coming Together! What you feel about the same? Do tell us in the Comment section below.

Within seconds of looking around the William The Fourth it was obvious this is an old fashioned pub that's had a fairly recent makeover. All the signs are there and this makes reviewing it a no-win situation.
The folks who loved its old world charm are never going to be convinced the company that took it over have improved it, so there's no pleasing them. And the new brigade who are perfectly happy to frequent a freshly tarted-up chain pub don't care about anything.
But, as I'm fond of saying, I can only report what I find, so here goes.
I was immediately competed for by two blonde barmaids who seemed equally keen to serve me. It was a bit like seeing double, except the cards slung round their necks informing everyone they wouldn't be served unless they look 25, were worn at different angles – neither of them questioned my age. Not really surprising as I must have been the oldest person in.
I asked for advice and was recommended a pint of Chieftain IPA at 5.5 per cent.
It's a decent enough, easy-drinking hoppy ale although it doesn't have stacks of flavour. If anything, there's something of the citrus about it.
Mrs PubSpy has gone all upmarket for the New Year so she opted for a gin and tonic, Fever Tree no less.
We took a slot at table two and Mrs P decided the one thing she wanted to say was that she liked the hanging baskets – I couldn't see it myself but soft furnishing are her thing so I took the easiest option and nodded agreement.
From our vantage point we could see the full central bar and it's certainly impressive. By now blonde number one was having a fag in the doorway of Gresham Blake tailors opposite and number two had wandered off so I chatted instead to the third bartender.
He reckoned I should have opted for Zamza, from Gun Brewery at 6.5 per cent. I took a taste but it was far too heavy for my liking and I stuck to the Chieftain.
Taking in the rest of my surrounding and the clientele I can confirm we were the oldest people in. Though I couldn't be completely sure of the age of the woman with a bun in the Trusted Housesitters T shirt – I presume it's a service for animals, not kids.
The famous Top Loader song, you know the one, was replaced by KT Tunstall's Suddenly I See so the music was certainly passable.
As I say, I assume it's had a complete overhaul and personally I liked it – nicely laid tiled areas next to some beautiful old wooden flooring. The mosaics up the stairs are particularly interesting.
As you climb up you get a view of the garden, complete with its Astro turf. This had a CLOSED FOR NOW sign plastered across it as the night I was in the weather was apparently too bad for venturing outside.
If you do make the effort to climb the great old brick staircase you will be treated to some of the most flowery loos you are ever likely to visit.
Back downstairs I couldn't help noticing the abundance of mirrors on just about every surface, again a winner with Mrs Pubspy. I couldn't make up my mind whether they are there for security or just effect.
And talking of effect, I've never witnessed anyone quite as affected as the woman on table 16 smoking her electronic cigarette. She looked like she'd leapt straight out of a 1950s movie. Is smoking e-cigarettes allowed in pubs?
I obviously don't know what the original pub was like, but personally I'm impressed by what the new owner has done with William The Fourth and they definitely seem to be meeting demand. I assume it was a great pub in its hey-day but the fact Indigo has stepped in means those days have gone.
What has been created is a very welcoming pub with very pleasant bar staff and decent furnishings.
The place was full of younger folk and everyone was having a great time – no one seemed to be harking back to the good old days.
There was one sign inviting me to ask about their bourbons and another asking me not to take my glass out after 8pm. I decided not to do either and we headed into the night but I'd definitely like to make a return visit to this one.

Former President Jimmy Carter yesterday said he is supportive of letting a known member of a terrorist group, Hamid Aboutalebi, into the United States as Iran's newest ambassador to the United Nations.
Aboutalebi was a member of the Muslim student group who held 52 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for more than a year beginning in 1979 during Carter's presidency.
When asked in an interview if the United States should block Aboutalebi's entrance to U.N. headquarters in New York, Carter told radio station WTOP: "You know, those were college students at that time, and I think that they have matured. …I think it would be inappropriate for the United States to try to block someone that Iran wanted to choose."

Commonwealth's Attorney quiet about appointment, which happened months ago
After ignoring months of repeated inquiries by the Rappahannock News on the status of a Virginia State Police investigation launched in February 2017 surrounding Rappahannock County government procurement practices, Commonwealth's Attorney Art Goff acknowledged this week that a special prosecutor was appointed over four months ago to lead the investigation.
Why Goff, an elected official, did not disclose key information about the status of one of the most important matters before his office is not known.
A written order, naming Culpeper County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Walther as special prosecutor in the case, was signed by Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker on Nov. 13, 2017.
The revelation of the special prosecutor came in response to a member of a Rappahannock County grand jury asking that the court impanel a special grand jury to look into the investigation of the county's procurement practices.
Ron Frazier, a member of a grand jury seated Monday in Rappahannock County Circuit Court to consider criminal indictments in unrelated matters, asked the judge in open court to form a special grand jury. Frazier is also the Jackson district supervisor.
This newspaper sent an email inquiry to Goff on Tuesday asking about the possible formation of a special grand jury, or if a special prosecutor had been appointed in the case and whether criminal charges would be brought against anyone named in the investigation.
Goff responded in an email to only one of the questions.
"No, the Grand Jury did not ask for a special grand jury," the commonwealth's attorney wrote. "Ron Frazier did as a member of the Grand Jury, but no one else, and then he withdrew his request, so no special grand jury is 'in the works.' I decline to comment further."
But pressed for answers that same afternoon outside the courthouse, Goff confirmed that Walther had been appointed "months ago."
When asked why he had not shared this information before now, despite repeated inquiries over the past six months, Goff simply stated: "It's in the public record."
Goff declined to answer whether appointing a special prosecutor meant that criminal charges are pending from the Virginia State Police probe.
"That's up to the special prosecutor to determine," Goff said.
Goff's choice not to prosecute the case would be a normal course of action, as the investigation is known to involve current and former Rappahannock County employees. The November order reads in part that Goff "stated to the Circuit Court that he is so situated with respect to the accused in this matter that it would be improper for him to act as Attorney for the Commonwealth in this case, and requested that a Special prosecutor be appointed."
The mandatory state police investigation was launched in February of last year in the wake of a letter that same month from Rappahannock County Treasurer Debbie Knick to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. In the correspondence, the county treasurer cited instances where one or more employees failed to follow proper expense and payroll procedures or else did not conduct sufficient oversight of budgeting and spending.
The investigation, state authorities said, examined spending and procurement activities beginning in 2016, with an eye toward possible misappropriation of funds by one or more Rappahannock County employees.
Virginia State Police Special Agent W.W. Talbert delivered the state's findings to Goff in early September. At that time, Talbert said the case remains "open" until the attorney decides to either prosecute or drop the charges.
In the six months since Goff received the report, he has declined to offer any information about the investigation, indicating only that it was on-going.
"I haven't finished my part of that" investigation, Goff told the News in October when approached on the sidewalk outside his Gay Street office, answering "yep" when asked to confirm whether the case remained open.
Sgt. David Ostwinkle of the State Police Bureau of Legal Affairs described the general activity reported in Rappahannock County as "a misappropriation of public funds" and characterized potential damages or injuries as "currency embezzlement."
Those connected with the probe declined to identify anybody who might be targeted. Walther did not return a call for comment.

ABOUT eama
The seeds for what is now the Eastern Advanced Manufacturing Alliance (EAMA) were sown in 1994, when representatives from local plastics industry businesses, in conjunction with Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC), formed the Quinebaug Valley Plastics Institute (QVPI). QVPI supported students entering the plastics industry through workshops, seminars, training, education, and employment opportunities. In 2010, QVPI changed its name to the Quinebaug Manufacturing Institute to expand its membership and broaden its impact to the entire manufacturing industry. In 2013, in recognition of the group's expanding presence in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, the organization changed its name to the Eastern Advanced Manufacturing Alliance (EAMA).
More About eama
EAMA partners with Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC), Three Rivers Community College (TRCC), Ellas T. Grasso Southeastern Technical High School, and H.H. Ellis Technical High School to increase the capacity and industry-relevance of the region's primary manufacturing training and educational programs. EAMA works with these educational partners to change perceptions of the manufacturing industry and promote manufacturing careers to youth and adults. EAMA supports its two partner colleges to align their efforts to best meet the needs of all regional manufacturers.

Tuscaloosa's Solid-Waste TurkeyBy United Citizens Against Toxic Chemicals
Vol. 9, No. 4, 1987, 8-9
Your city is actively considering buying an incinerator. Should you have one? Tuscaloosa, Ala., thought it should, but it now knows better. We are a citizens group from Tuscaloosa and we don't want you to make the same mistakes we did. Here's our story, as told by the newspapers.
First, you will be told how wonderful incinerators are:
Unlike the landfill it replaced, the facility is not just a place to d ump garbage and trash, but is a place that produces revenue and has the power to operate three times what it is doing now. I've seen a great number of recovery plants across the country, and I, for one, am glad to know we had the foresight to invest in such a project.--John T. Lancaster, director, Tuscaloosa County Solid Waste, quoted in the Tuscaloosa News.
You will be told that your incinerator is new, state-of-the-art, not like other incinerators in other cities or made by other companies. This is not true. All incinerators are basically the same and they all have problems. At first, the problems are kept quiet. Some stories never appeared in our local paper, but only in a paper published in Birmingham, 60 miles away:
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management is investigating complaints that Tuscaloosa's new $9 million trash burning steam plant is creating strong odors and pollutants that are making some residents ill.--The Birmingham News, October 19, 1984.
Officials from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management met with concerned residents of Tuscaloosa County here in a tense, three-hour meeting Tuesday night over Tuscaloosa's often malfunctioning garbage incinerator.--The Birmingham News, Nov. 21, 1984.
Finally, in 1985, the local newspapers started to cover the story and the local citizens became aware of some of the problems. The plant was well beyond its "shake-down" period and was still breaking down. We knew, of course, that other incinerators broke down a lot, but we had been told new state-of-the-art incinerators would not:
A coolant system breakdown at the Tuscaloosa garbage incinerator forced the plant to close for three days while repairs were made, a state officials said Friday.--The Tuscaloosa News
And then, at last, a front page article about the "bottom line":
The City of Tuscaloosa has given full backing to a$256,000 bank loan to prevent the Tuscaloosa Solid Waste Disposal Authority from technically defaulting on a bond payment of almost $800,000... The governments are under contract to help meet any deficits in operating expenses of the authority... Though the Authority needed $406,000 to make bond payments due Thursday, the governments were asked only to back $256,000 of the shortfall because the authority received the remaining $150,000 through another loan from First Alabama Bank backed by a stockholder of Consumat Systems, Inc.--The Tuscaloosa News
This "revenue-producing" incinerator was, in fact, eating up more money than this small community can afford. A very clear contract meant that local taxpayers' pockets were being emptied to keep the expensive incinerator running. By the summer of 1986, when the waste authority finally figured out that they had been bamboozled, they sued:
The Tuscaloosa Solid Waste Disposal Authority was expected to file a $20 million federal lawsuit today against Consumat Systems, Inc., charging the company with fraud, breach of contract, and negligence in the design, construction, and operation of the Tuscaloosa garbage incinerator.--The Tuscaloosa News, May 16,1986
A couple of months later, the waste authority board decided they didn't want to take the heat, the responsibility, or the counter-suit, and the headlines read:
"Tuscaloosa's Solid Waste Authority Resigns." The resignations followed months of disagreement among the governing bodies of the city, Tuscaloosa County and Northport concerning the proportionate share each should pay to cover operating shortfalls at the deficit-ridden garbage incinerator.--The Tuscaloosa News, August 8,1986
These were not the first resignations, nor would they be the last. But by spring 1987, everyone was trying to pretend that the problems were solved and everybody was happy:
"Better days may be ahead for the incinerator..." Local government officials said Friday they hoped a new agreement this week will lead to a fresh start for the city's financially troubled solid waste incinerator.--The Tuscaloasa News
Of course, there was one little detail:
"Incinerator tipping fees will double... "New rates for the incinerator's commercial users will be increased from $9 per ton to $18 per ton...the new rate will not affect INDEC, a private, for-profit garbage pickup service, or the local governing bodies of Northport, Tuscaloosa, or Tuscaloosa County...whether the tipping fees for INDEC and the three governing bodies would be lower, higher or even with the $18 tipping fee... "I 'm not prepared to say what [the negotiated fees] will be," said Rutherford, executive director of TSWDA.--The Tuscaloosa News, February 22, 1987
What's this negotiated settlement?" For now, it means much higher fees. And, as soon as more problems crop up, it means more fees and more lawsuits.
Finally, after three years, the state admitted what we had known all along:
Jack Honeycutt, chief of the solid waste section of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, said earlier this week that preliminary tests of incinerator fly ash conducted in mid-February showed the presence of high levels of cadmium and lead, created when garbage is burned at the
Page 9incinerator...fly ash was found to have contained dangerous levels of cadmium and lead. The Tuscaloosa incinerator produces. . . approximately 100 tons of fly ash collected daily.--The Tuscaloosa News, March 19, 1987
But you will be told that you're running out of landfill space and that an incinerator will reduce ninety percent of the garbage, and that it's the only solution.
That ninety percent figure is nonsense. The best plants can do is about seventy percent. Ours does about fifty percent. The rest of the garbage still needs to get dumped.
Consider that fifty percent of garbage is paper. All you have to do is recycle the paper and you've got a fifty percent reduction of garbage--the same as our expensive "Turkey." You're still healthy and you can sell the recycled paper. You can also recycle aluminum, steel, glass...
But you will be told that recycling isn't practical. Oh? How come all Japanese cities and towns separate out their paper, aluminum, etc., and recycle. How come the state of New Jersey has mandated at least minimal recycling for all five hundred plus of its muncipalities [sic] .
Why the big push for incinerators? Because combustion chamber manufacturers have run out of markets one is building new power plants, heating plants, or large ships--so they want to build incinerators. One of the biggest names in the game is Babcock and Wilcox, the firm that gave us Three Mile Island.

Mark Ritson: Five reasons why the Protein World furore is great marketing
The huge debate that has exploded around Protein World's "Beach Body" campaign has made it the big branding story of the year so far.
You have to think back to the 2012 Mayoral election battle between Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone for the last time two enormous tits so dominated the discourse in and around the Nation's capital. Given the prominence of the story it's worth stepping back and examining the five stages of advertising response that have played out in the "Beach Body" saga.
Stage 1 – outstanding advertising
It's easy to jump to the scandal that followed without first appreciating what Richard Staveley and his marketing team initially achieved with their ad campaign. Best estimates suggest Protein World had about £250,000 to invest in their Summer awareness campaign. That pays for canapes at a big brand launch these days so the fact that the brand team went for the high traffic, even higher targeted medium of outdoor at the London Underground speaks volumes about the savvy thinking behind the campaign. The fact that they then doubled down with such an impressive/insulting* creative execution only extends the admiration marketers should have for Staveley and his team. *Delete according to your segment identity.
Stage 2 – immediate anti-advertising response
One of the great paradoxes of marketing is that you rarely know when a campaign is working on your target market but, as Protein World discovered last month, you get a very quick confirmation when it's not working for non-target segments. London commuters not interested in a hard body for the Summer took offense to the tits in the face misogyny of the campaign and the unerring sexism underpinning the idea that women need to get "ready" for the beach. We saw an avalanche of instantaneous anti-ad responses that ranged from the traditional (scrawling "fuck off" onto the ad) to the contemporary (tweeting a photo of the ad with the words "fuck off" appended beneath it).
Stage 3 – organised anti-advertising response
We've seen this kind of immediate response to advertising before but what made the Beach Body response more visceral was the way it rapidly evolved into a more prolonged and organised response from outraged consumers. Protesters disrobed next to the offending ad in swimsuits and tweeted the resulting juxtaposition. Over the weekend more than one hundred protesters (again in Bikinis) attended a Taking Back the Beach protest in Hyde Park.
Stage 4 – brand driven crisis management
It was already remarkable but the next phase of the campaign evolution made it almost unique. Usually by the time we get to stage four the PR morons take over from the marketing team and apply the "three step model" of crisis management. First, shit yourself and lose all strategic proportion. Second, apologise for whatever has been done. Third, apply an appalling generic approach to communications irrespective of what the brand positioning is or who the target market is. Richard Staveley did not apologise for his campaign. Quite the reverse. He pointed to the 30,000 new customers it had recruited and the £2 million in incremental sales it has generated and noted that it had been a wild success not despite, but because of, the furious response it had garnered. 'It's been a whirlwind over the past two weeks,' he explained last week. 'It's been tremendous. It's an extreme minority that made a lot of noise. It gives us a platform to shout about our true message, which is "get off your arse and do something about it." That last bit is particularly impressive. Staveley gets the concept of targeting and the fact that none of the protesters are ever going to be in the market for protein supplements. But he also understands that anything that generates awareness that is on-brand is going to be good for business.
Stage 5 – ersatz interbranding
In a final postmodern confirmation of the impact that Protein World has had on the British marketing scene we have started to see a number of branded responses to the campaign in which other brands take an alternative angle on the events of the past few weeks. It was said that Dove sent in a team of averagely shaped women to sort things out (although the brand denied any involvement) but the big award for mimicry goes to Carlsberg.
I think I remember reading somewhere that the Dove 'response' wasn't actually from them, it just made use of their logo.
Unless they created it, leaked it (with their branding) then denied it for a subversive but non-litigable marketing method. This is getting confusing.
Have they invented "Converse" Marketing. We did this once but unintentionally. We ran a campaign using 48 sheets and bus shelters for Langs Supreme Blended Scotch Whisky using Lalands, the ancient Scottish dialect. It had headlines like. "Stoap. I'm Here for a Dram No a Drouchin'!" or "Michty! Dinnae Shougle Noo!" Well it seems there are erudite language profs who took issue over our spelling. The furore about the correct use and spelling of Lalands went on for months in The Herald. The Client, Lang Brothers , part of Robertson & Baxters', now Edgrington Group, were most pleased. We got huge PR talk about. this is the '80s so no SocMed. The campaign won a bunch of craft and creative awards. I wish I could claim we invented "Converse Marketing!"
The best brands don't just help us navigate, they remove choice. They help us to know "yep, that's the one for me." When people talk about the paradox of choice, I just hear "undifferentiated commoditisation." Protein World made a big yellow bikini-shaped signpost at that T-junction.
The brand does not show what supplements can do – improve quality of life for a longer time. Just checked their website and language was still about 'weight loss' not muscle mass gain, improved PVC, and improved ligament strength. ie if those models are on supplements, I expect them to be able to tough it out in a MMA type activity not merely fit into a Size 2 because they can transfer more 02 per cubic volume of blood. That's the real difference between supplements and weight loss programs.

Home education news
Fundamental changes to the law affecting the rights and the freedom of about 80,000 children may be sneaked into a bill going through parliament, after the review into home education by Graham Badman (Report to crack down on home schooling, 6 June).
The parenting police
Parents are hitting back at plans for what they believe are Big Brother-style powers to inspect home schooling.
"What [Graham] Badman recommends policing is not simply home education but parenting. Under this government parents are considered unfit unless checked and approved by an ever growing list of 'professionals'."
"So what has happened to the basic right of every citizen in this country to be assumed innocent of a crime unless proven otherwise? Under these new proposals home educating parents and their children will be forcibly inspected, even if there is no evidence or cause to believe that abuse is taking place."

Home education on the news
There are about 750 children in Kent who are currently educated at home. Alexander Roarke, a Kent-based trustee of the charity Education Otherwise, said: "We reject the disproportionate and unreasonable recommendations set out in this report for compulsory registration and invasive monitoring. Someone from the local authority is now allowed to enter my home, take my children and interview them without me being present...that is a power that only the police have."
Parents' anger at home education recommendations grows
Parents who educate their children at home are up in arms over the recommendations of the government-commissioned review into home education in England. Home educators are using CYP Now 's forums to lobby the government to disregard the findings of Graham Badman's review into home education. Parents are particularly concerned by Badman's recommendation that local authorities should have right of access to the home of home educated children, and should have the right to speak to each child alone if deemed appropriate, or in the company of a trusted person who is not the home educator or parent/carer.

Petition to reject the Badman Report
This report is a totally disproportionate response to a 'perceived' problem full of unsubstantiated allegations that home educated children are more at risk than those at school. This is simply not true and enacting the recommendations in this report would establish the state as parent of first resort. To allow LA staff access to private homes to interview children without their parents when there is no reason to suspect abuse is outrageous.

Home education on the news
Speaking before the publication of the report, Fiona Nicholson of Education Otherwise, a home education support group, said any register would be "intrusive" on families. "There is a lot of fear that restrictions will be brought in by the back door," Ms Nicholson said. "We are very cynical about the whole thing. We have put forward more than 40 recommendations of our own, but we doubt any of them will be paid any notice."

Home education on the news
Helena Brydges, who has been teaching her daughter Tiffany, 14,at home for several years, said she receives exceptional support from the council.
"People have two schools of thought regarding home education, as you have the people who want stricter controls and those who want the freedom to do things their way," she said. "But we've had excellent support as the education authority come every year and they've gone through Tiffany's work with a fine toothcomb."
The state should stay out of home schooling
... the idea that there should be no opt-out available – that all parents have no choice but to submit to official control over their children's education – cuts to the heart of the question of parental autonomy. The acceptance that parents can choose to educate their children themselves if they want to is a tacit recognition that state education is a service that parents can access for the benefit of their families. The new proposals shift that balance of power, so that state-monitored education becomes something that all children must receive – and in the case of home schooling, parents are mere practitioners, delivering an officially approved scheme of work. This means that the scope for parents to decide that, actually, the curriculum or teaching practice on offer within schools is not the best for their child, becomes much more limited.

Home education news
This Labour government has been especially bad at dealing with difference, and its latest stance against home schooling is indicative of this lack of tolerance and understanding.
Parents who home educate children to be forced to register
Fiona Nicholson, of support group Education Otherwise, said: "If they introduce a registration system, it would completely shift the balance of power. The state is coming into family life and trying to regulate it. It is an extraordinary invasion of the family."
You can't hear the jackboots, but this is still oppression
Private life, the family home, freedom of conscience and action, have never been so menaced. But... we don't see it for what it is. It is time we did.
There's no education like home schooling
Instead of hedging in home educators with inspections, we should applaud the parents who decide to take on their children's education rather than packing them off to school all day.

Home education on the news
Eric Hester: "The Government's intention to regulate – in effect, nationalise – home education is spiteful, dictatorial and simply anti-educational. There is no evidence that home-educated children do worse than those in schools. To suggest that home education might lead to abuse ill becomes a Government at a time when a state-regulated nursery is being investigated over horrific crimes."
Home schooling to be monitored by govt database?
Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: "The whole purpose of home education, of course, is that people want to keep their children out of the clutches of the state and they should be allowed to do so if they want in a free country."
Even from the edge of the grave, Labour attacks the family
"The dying scorpion still has venom in its tail: this decomposing Labour government, rotting like a fish from the head down and with a maximum life expectancy of 11 months, is still doggedly pursuing the destruction of British society - the Project on which it embarked 12 years ago. Its latest assault on the family is an offensive against home schooling... the state, furious that 50,000 children have eluded its clutches, is intruding further into family life.
Government to clamp down on home schooling families
Fiona Nicholson, of support group Education Otherwise, said: "If they introduce a registration system, it would completely shift the balance of power. The state is coming into family life and trying to regulate it. It is an extraordinary invasion of the family."
Norman Wells, of the Family Education Trust, said: "In accepting the recommendations of this report, the government is signalling its intention to introduce an unprecedented level of intrusion into family life. The plan to allow local authorities routine access to the homes of children who are educated outside the school system shows a fundamental distrust of parents. If the government gets its way, home educated children will be subject to a far greater degree of individual state surveillance than children receive in school. ... The legality of going beyond that and granting local authorities a routine right of access to the homes of parents who teach their children at home is open to question under human rights legislation."

Crackdown on home-schooling as parents face annual checks and registration
...parents last night branded the proposals an 'extraordinary' intrusion by the state into family life. They fundamentally undermine parental responsibility to ensure their child is receiving a good education, they said.
'We are shocked and horrified,' said Ann Newstead, a spokesman for Education Otherwise who herself home educates four children. 'The police don't even have access unless they believe a crime is taking place so local councils will be given more powers than the police,' she added. 'This is an attitude of the state which says you don't know how to bring up your child and we need to tell you how to do it. We are told what to put in children's lunchboxes, how they should eat healthily, how we should keep them safe on the net, how they should go out to play more. There comes a point where you have to say, please don't assume parents are not capable of bringing up their own children.'

She refuted claims made by Mark Field, MP for Westminster, who warned that the government is trying to destroy home education by over-regulating parents.
Field said that the Department for Children, Schools and Families review of home education, which is being led by Graham Badman, could skew the balance between civil liberties and state intervention.
He said: "The ability to be free from an all-knowing, all-seeing state's ideas of education, welfare and standards forms the fundamental appeal for many of those who choose home education for their children. Any attempt to alter what is very much a matter of balance would undermine the entire ethos of education."

Home Education Parliament Debate
In the middle of January, the Department for Children, Schools and Families launched an independent review of home education by Graham Badman, the former director of children and educational services at Kent county council. Mr. Badman has been charged with investigating the current system for supporting and monitoring home education, and was asked to consider how any concerns about children's safety, welfare or education are dealt with. From the outset, the Government have emphasised that they have no plans to change parents' well-established right to educate their children at home.
All that sounds harmless enough, and in light of recent child abuse cases it is little wonder that the Government want to safeguard children who are not visibly in the system, and to keep tabs on parents. It is right for any Government to want evidence that each and every child receives a suitable education, and genuine home educators have nothing to fear. However, the message coming loud and clear from home educators in my constituency is that that hype should not be believed. Their worry is that the Government are manipulating current anxiety about child abuse to intrude further into home education when they have little legal right to do so.
The latest review will mark the third such consultation pertaining to home education over the past four years. Any action stemming from it could affect the balance of power between civil liberties and state intervention, whether one is innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent, and whether the state or parents have ultimate responsibility for their children. The ability to be free from an all-knowing, all-seeing state's ideas of education, welfare and standards forms the fundamental appeal for many of those who choose home education for their children. Any attempt to alter what is very much a matter of balance would undermine the entire ethos of education.
I became interested, involved and engaged in home education some months back when I met two articulate and passionate local mothers in the Pimlico area of my constituency who had decided to educate their children themselves. One made that decision as a result of her son's unhappy and unproductive first 18 months in the state school sector. The other had seen home education work brilliantly for family friends, and made the positive decision to take on that task for her daughters. The matter is a Cinderella area, and I approached my meeting with those two mothers with some standard misconceptions that a home education might produce an unsocialised, precocious child who is unable to interact with their peers and perhaps shielded from all negative experiences. However, the more I listened to the two mothers, the more impressed and excited I was by their passion and enthusiasm for home education. Each was able to provide an individualised learning experience tailored to the child's abilities and interests. Far from having an isolated and insulated existence, the children of those two mothers frequently attended classes with other home schoolers, interacted with children of different ages and abilities, and experienced a wide range of activities from practising judo and learning Japanese to visiting galleries and museums during quieter times of day.

"Campaigners claim the move would fundamentally undermine the responsibility that lies with parents to ensure their child is receiving a good education, and allow the state an unprecedented intrusion into family life.
Fiona Nicholson, of support group Education Otherwise, said: "If they introduce a registration system it would completely shift the balance of power. The state is coming into family life and trying to regulate it. It is an extraordinary invasion of the family."
Action for Home Education said: "AHEd members believe that the review has been composed in this skewed manner in order to attain predetermined answers for the purpose of supporting the government's desire to impose compulsory registration, monitoring and tracking of electively home-educated children and their families, including state control and prescription of educational method, content and outcome for all children."

(Home) school's out forever?
If this is the case, to a large extent it will remove from parents the responsibility for how their children are educated. For many, without the freedom to learn autonomously, the very reason for home education will cease to exist.
We'll have to wait and see how far any new legislation will go, and how hard home educators will resist it, but let's hope we don't end up with a situation like that in Germany, where the ban on home education means for many parents the only option is to emigrate."Read more...

The Politics of Home Education
Comment 1
I am seriously worried about the inability of politicians and members of so-called children's charities to understand that, if anyone has concerns about home educated children, THEN they have the same recourse to call in Social Services.
BABY P was NOT home educated. Victoria Climbie was NOT home educated.
Would you please stop showing your prejudices and misconceptions about one of the most loving groups of people of society? Home educationg parents sacrifice a lot of their lives to MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOT ABUSED AT SCHOOLS. You cannot accuse even a small group of parents of being child-abusers. There are laws to protect people from such defamation. Concentrate on reducing or banning child-to-child bullying/ teacher-to-child bullying and general coercion in schools. That's what you could do instead of maligning home educators who do a terrific job of educating AND keeping their own children safe.
I resent your implication that I would ever abuse any child, never mind my own.
Please be more careful what you are saying.
Comment 2
"We have an obsessive approach to equality in the educational establishment, and there is an increasing view, perhaps understandably, given the furore over the baby P case and others, that educating children at home is an issue not only for education departments, but for social services."
This sentence makes very little sense. Baby P was 17 months old when he died, he cannot be described as home educated. His treatment was indeed an issue for social services, who failed him.
Home education, on the other hand, is not an issue for social services at all, but purely a legal alternative to state or private schooling, accorded precisely the same legal status in law. I fail to see why it should be regarded as something to be worried about, and I'd be grateful if MPs could inform themselves further on the situation as it is, rather than the situation as it is presented in the headlines.
MPs and indeed the public at large would do well to remember that it is parents who have responsibility for the education for their children and they are equally at liberty to discharge that themselves at home or to send their children to a state school. My understanding of the law is that children are required to be in school from the term immediately after their 5th birthday, so perhaps part of the problem here in the lack of school places is that so many children are in school who are not required to be.
Many countries in Europe start formal education later than us, and have better educational outcomes. Perhaps these are the avenues we should be exploring, rather than working out how rapidly we can put up alternatives to portacabins.
Home Education in the House of Lords
I smell a rat when it comes to home education. A few months ago we heard very critical
Secondly, many of the people indulging in home education have done so to escape just the sort of situations that the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, described of terrible schools, terrible circumstances, insupportable effects on a much loved child and parents giving up their lives to support that child. To be corralled back into school under a Henry VIII clause, however well intentioned, is not something that I am prepared to contemplate.
I have talked to the Minister about this and have offered her two ways forward: she can give me a promise in her speech that nothing will appear in Committee, or on Report or at Third Reading to implement any of the recommendations of Graham Badman's review, or we can have some long debates in Committee on home education and the many aspects of it which need to be considered, because they do need to be considered.
As the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, said, there is a move to integrate the whole business of child protection so that many more agencies work together to take an interest in what is happening to children. We have the children's database, which will mean that for the first time local authorities will know who in their area is being home educated, and will not have the excuse that many of them have used to date for not paying much attention to this and letting parents get on with doing it in their own way. Therefore, the need to understand what is happening, to protect what is happening and to support it where it should be supported is going to get to us one way or another. In my view we should be extremely positive about home education.
We went through an analogous process a decade or so ago with the National Health Service when we started to recognise that people caring for the ill at home were doing a useful job, that enabling old people to stay in their homes was a useful thing and that, rather than standing back and just letting these people suffer and pay on their own, the state should offer support because that benefited everybody. That, I think, is the case with home education. Most of these people are doing an excellent job but receive absolutely no support from the state. They are not even get allocated centres where their children can take examinations. Putting your child in for a GCSE is an immensely difficult thing to do if you are a home educator because there are no facilities for that. Local authorities provide all sorts of facilities for children in their charge—including swimming, first aid and cycling proficiency lessons—that are closed to home educators. The Government could do many things to support
The first thing to do in that direction is to open proper, permanent and well understood communications between the Government and the home education community. All sorts of things are happening in legislation. The current Welfare Reform Bill is one area, but there has been secondary regulation in other areas which impact on home education. The Government ought to understand how home education works, the way in which it will be dealt with when it comes to child protection, and assessing the quality of education needs to be understood and thought through and be done in a positive way. In Committee, I shall be encouraging the Government to take up the suggestion by Education Otherwise, the principal charity in this area, that there should be a permanent conclave within, I suspect, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, where discussions will take place between officials and home educators about how the regulation and support of home education should evolve. That may be the limit of it, or it may be much more extensive, depending on what the noble Baroness says to me.
