May 11 (UPI) — Rallies across Iran on Friday showed widespread public support for Tehran's hardline posture in the face of new U.S. sanctions — and new tensions that stem from fallout over the 2015 nuclear deal.
Demonstrators burned American flags and denounced the United States, while showing support for the Supreme National Security Council's decision this week to withdraw from parts of the nuclear accord. In mosques on Friday, preachers spoke favorably of Iran's stance.
Demonstrators warned the United States against any further provocation, and called for full withdrawal if other parties to the deal — Britain, France, Germany, China and the European Union — fail to protect Iran from U.S. sanctions. This week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani gave those nations 60 days to implement promises to shield Tehran from the penalties.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered new sanctions for Iranian metals, including iron, steel, aluminum and copper. The metals are Tehran's largest sources of export revenue, other than oil, and account for about 10 percent of the country's economy. The sanctions are the Trump administration's latest efforts to pressure Iran over weapons proliferation and extremist groups.
Iran's National Security Council said the partial withdrawal is aimed at "safeguarding the Iranian nation's security and interests."
Since Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal a year ago, the Iranian rial has lost 60 percent of its value and unemployment has increased.
"A lot can change in a year when we make bold decisions to defend America's national security," Trump said Wednesday. The next day, Trump said he was ready to negotiate again with Iran. Earlier this week, the United States deployed an aircraft carrier and strike group to the Strait of Hormuz.

Families that fall into the category of "middle Britain" are facing serious debt problems as the economy continues in its downturn, it has been claimed.
According to a report from Axa, there are fewer middle British households than people often assume and debt management difficulties among this demographic are rising dramatically.
In fact, figures from the insurance firm suggest that enquiries for debt help among this sector have increased by 500 per cent and even individual who earn over £70,000 per year are not immune to money problems.
Steve Folkard of the AXA Financial Task Force said: "In spite of their higher earning power, middle Britain households are as susceptible to economic pressures as everyone else."
"What is also clear is that middle Britain households have felt the effects of the rising cost of living."
Alliance & Leicester reported recently that one in six people in the UK would need to use credit to cover their costs if they had washing machine malfunction or a boiler breakdown.

|出版日: 2018年10月01日
|ページ情報: 英文 100 Pages
The photography equipment market is projected to grow at the CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023. Earlier photography equipment's were popular mostly among professional photographers. However, within last few years, many non-professional photographers, especially millennial have started buying photography equipment like cameras, different type of lenses, and others owing to increasing interest in photography and growing trend of sharing professional-like photographs on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and others. Currently, the market is foreseeing high demand for high-quality cameras with integrated modern technology. Products like cameras, lens, and other photography equipment's with innovative features and functionalities are priced higher compared to other regular products offerings. Thus, many players are launching premium photography equipment which use innovative technology. For instance, in 2018, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation launched a premium compact digital camera "FUJIFILM XF10" (XF10) which enables superior image quality with proprietary color reproduction technology.
The growing popularity of online retailing is increasingly making it easier for professional and non-professional photographers to browse and purchase from a wide range of photography equipment available online. Consumers have an option to choose photography equipment that matches their requirements and is compatible with the digital camera that they own. Further, online retailing is making the overall shopping experience easier, and the ability to market and sell these products online opens up new avenues for large number of vendors to expand their business in terms of product availability and accessibility. Players like Nikon Corporation, Canon Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, and others are running online portals and having tie-ups with e-retailers to sell photography equipment. It is expected that increasing penetration of the internet will enable many players to offer a large number of photography equipment categories and also widen their customer base for their products.
Adoption of tripods is increasing at a fast pace and is expected to continue the same during the forecasted period. This is because, photographers often look for tripods in order to support the combined load of their camera and lens. Further, tripods are portable and thus photographers have the liberty to shoot as per their convenience. This is one of the major factor, which is driving the tripod stand market. Currently, players operating in the market are majorly paying attention on manufacturing tripods that suit the different need of photographers. For instance, in 2017, Benro introduced iFoto special edition tripods designed specifically for travel photographers.
Asia-Pacific photography equipment market is expected to grow at a high rate during the forecasted period. This is because, economies in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, India, and others is growing at a fast rate and thus large number of people in these countries are able to afford photography equipment. Players operating in the market are increasingly showing interest to expand their presence in emerging countries across the globe with new product offerings. For example, in 2018, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation launched medium format "GFX50s" mirror less camera in India.
2018 - Sony Corporation claimed that it has sold more full-frame cameras than any other brand in the US over the past six months, measured both in terms of units sold as well as by value.
2018 - Nikon Corporation introduced its first full-frame mirrorless cameras, designed specifically for photography enthusiasts and professionals. With this launch, the company is making high-end cameras less bulky than before and is even providing opportunity to develop new types of lenses.
Major Players - Canon Inc., FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Nikon Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO, Sony Corporation, Leica Camera AG, Olympus Corporation, Hasselblad, RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD., and others.

Been sitting here contemplating how to open this post up. What is something profound I can share or statement I can make. The best thing I decided was that I could just openly begin sharing my story, my gift to you is literal word vomit. A (sub)conscious stream of the narrative I'm retelling in my head.
My name is Shayda Torabi, I'm in my late twenties. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and other fun facts about my upbringing, I went to college in Austin, got my first job in Austin and thus have only ever lived and called Austin home.
I grew up with an American mother and a Middle eastern father. My dad immigrated when he was just a teenager right before the revolution happened. As a result of the revolution he ended up staying in America. Fast forward some odd years, he met my mom, they got married, and had me. Their first born daughter, of what would become a triplet of three girls.
My sisters Sydney, Nika and I are roughly 3-4 years difference in age. We grew up an athletic family. I was the first child who got into competitive sports, and we quickly became a club swimming family. So much so that Sydney ended up going on to study and swim at the University of Texas, which is pretty prestigious.
In addition to growing up athletic, we grew up in a religious household. In fact I spent most of my elementary and middle school in private school. I ditched it in the middle of middle school to go to public school. And it was at public school that I first learned my love for communications, photography, and all things journalism.
My junior year of high school I launched the first of what would be many WordPress blogs. My best friend and I were into interviewing people and wanted to get closer to the music industry that we grew up attending (granted at this point we were literally barely 18 years old). But we were semi successful in doing so so we kept it going and that would be the first stop in my journey with blogging, content, and SXSW.llacI ended up graduating high school and going back to private school for college. I attended Concordia University here in Austin, where my mom was an alumni from. I majored in communications and had a radio show on campus. I also found who I thought would be my forever person my Junior year. We proceeded to date (and co-exist together) for close to 6 years.
This is where it gets juicy if you're scrolling.
About a year into dating this guy, I would graduate college and get my first job in technology. The goal was to graduate and get a job in the music industry, but after two successful internships at C3 Presents (ACL Fest and Lolla) and The Texas Music office (which was an office of The Governor of The State of Texas), there just weren't any full time jobs in "the music industry". So tech seemed like a reasonable backup, I joined a company called WP Engine, a managed WordPress hosting platform (they'd probably hate I called it that now, they're a digital experience platform, but humor me for old times sake). I was employee 13 of what would grow to be a 550+ person team by the time I exited 6 years later. Fun aside, I found them at a hiring event during SXSW, that I did NOT want to go to. I remember literally crying in my moms office because I had to go network by myself downtown and it was raining and I almost didn't go.
Pretty glad I showed up. And it was because of that music blog I started in High School that I even had the chops and knowhow with WordPress to get the job with WP Engine.
It was at this company that I learned so many things about the world, about myself, and built what would later become the foundation for this blog and this life that I live. Honest to God, it was not easy by any means and a lot of sacrifices were experienced during my tenure there. However, I am extremely grateful to WP Engine for the opportunities they provided me to build my personal brand during that time and I walked away with a lot of lessons learned and a lot of grace and gratitude.
I was our events manager, I essentially got paid to represent this brand at events all over the world. I attended conferences in London, Paris, Dublin, to Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle, which at the time were all new experiences for me. I would go on to become a very popular persona in the WordPress community, speaking at over a dozen different conferences, meet ups, and events. I was traveling almost every other week for three years of my life, and that was truly the inception for *this* blog in particular.
I would find myself on these trips, having to organize dinner for our partners, customers and my colleagues. And since I was the events manager, it was my job to scout out a place. Naturally I wanted to go to the best of the best. Best vibe, best experience, best menu, best kept secret, you name it and I was digging it up and making reservations for our group.
So legit I had a coworker who one day was like, "we LOVE eating out with you on these work trips, you have THE BEST recommendations", you should start a blog. Because at this time my music blog had fallen by the wayside, I was working full time, traveling, I HAD NO TIME TO BLOG. But as someone who was becoming public in the WordPress community, it seemed reasonable to have a blog again and document the trips I was taking and so it was just that. A place for me to start documenting the places I was eating, mainly for me and my friends who were asking.
I had NO IDEA IT WOULD TURN TO THIS. What an evolution.
So at that time I originally launched as "Dine With Shayda", I dropped the "dine" part about 8 months ago now when I realized I create so much more content than food. But we'll get to that transition.
You still with me?
Work was fun and games, I accomplished a lot, I had some crappy bosses, I learned how to handle it, sometimes I didn't. It's what ultimately led me to parting ways in late 2017. BUT before we get there, in 2016 I found myself in a pinch.
It was November 2016, I had been blogging since January 2015 and had been growing in popularity locally by that time. I was actually invited to an event at one of my favorite restaurants and was walking home when something pivotal happened in my life.
I was hit by a car as a pedestrian. OUCH. I was rushed to the hospital, where I was told I had broken my pelvis in two places. I became immobile for about a month and ended up putting on a lot of weight as a result of that. Not only was I physically at my lowest, at this point my relationship with m ex was at an all time low also. We were together because it was comfortable, not because we loved each other. And neither of us could walk away. That when my accident happened, we just stewed in it for another year or so.
I was in pain constantly, it was small, in a tight spot, and extremely chronic. I was in PT for 8 months, and while my body regained strength and mobility, my pelvis was just learning to accept living in pain.
It's funny because looking back now everything happened that way for a reason, but nonetheless at the time my mom actually introduced me to CBD. I know, my mom!! It was the first time I had taken CBD oil, and it's obviously not the last. That was three years ago, and here I am three years later running a CBD business. Which was built out of sincere passion and personal relief with using CBD oil.
I ultimately ended up healing my body through continuous movement and CBD oil. I began to lose the weight and found myself on this upward trajectory. I was still with my ex, until about a year after the accident he decided to end things for good. It was the hardest day of my life, and I actually haven't spoken to him since that day. It's now been over two years, and the other day I was driving and broke down crying because I finally see our relationship and him for what it was. It was beautiful, broken, and brought me to the point where I left that old me behind to become this version of me. And this version of me is so much happier, and healthier, not just physically but mentally too. He was part of my transition into this journey and at the time I couldn't see how imperative he was in all of this, but if you ever come across this. Thank you Billy, I wish you every piece of happiness in the world.
So we broke up, I was single for the first time in 6 years. And around the same time I decided to leave WP Engine. I lost my identity basically and while I was getting healthier I was also trying to figure out who I was without this person and without this place.
But let me tell you, THAT journey has been the greatest story to date. Everything that happened to me happened so I could get on THIS PATH and begin to live THIS LIFE. It's still a messy life, full of imperfections, but every day I wake up and choose to live life according to my own rules and I'm choosing to write rules that empower me and put me in the best position to succeed.
I now have completely transitioned this blog around. On my journey of health and wellness I began discovering that it's not only about how you move your body, but how you feed your body, how you listen to her, and what types of conversations you have with her. I lived most of my life not listening to any of those things. Or so I thought I was but it was all a facade. This is the truest life I've ever lived and it feels liberating to just wake up knowing everything might not always be okay, but that I'm going to be okay. Because I CHOOSE to be.
I want this blog to be a manifestation of what it means to live an authentic life. Not just with others, but with yourself. Do you believe in you? How you answer that says a lot about how you talk to yourself, which in return is how others perceive you.
I do not have it solved by any means, I'm still learning. But I know that heartache is inevitable. Death and taxes are for everyone. So what use is worrying about what I can't control? I should focus on what I can, and what is in my present view. No use looking in the past, except to appreciate the present.
Forever learning, forever practicing grace.
XOXO, Shayda

The investigation into the assassination of the North Korean leader's half-brother was "shoddy" and "lopsided", a Malaysian court heard Wednesday as the trial resumed of two women accused of the murder.
Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong allegedly killed Kim Jong Nam by smearing a toxic nerve agent on his face at Kuala Lumpur International Airport last year in a Cold War-style hit that shocked the world.
Defence lawyers have argued that the women were recruited to take part in what they thought were prank TV shows but were instead tricked into becoming inadvertent assassins, in an elaborate plot by a group of North Korean agents.
The women, in their 20s, have denied murdering Kim Jong Un's estranged half-brother as he waited for a flight to Macau. They face death by hanging if found guilty.
The trial, which began last year, resumed Wednesday after a break since early April, with the women escorted into court handcuffed and wearing bullet-proof vests.
Aisyah's lawyer Gooi Soon Seng made his final submission, telling the Shah Alam High Court, outside Kuala Lumpur, that "the investigation was not only shoddy but was lopsided".
The charge was "vague" and the prosecution "has failed to make out a prima facie case against the accused (Aisyah)", he said.
Gooi argued prosecutors had not proved his client applied the VX nerve agent on Kim's face and questioned why — if she really were the assassin — she had told friends and family so readily about the supposed TV pranks that she was involved in.
He also said it was unusual that Aisyah did not suffer any symptoms due to contact with VX, which the United Nations classifies as a weapon of mass destruction.
'Denied a fair trial'
Doan's lawyer Hisyam Teh Pok Teik said in his submission said that his client did not intend to cause the death of Kim and did not know that the liquid she applied to his face was dangerous.
Hisyam said the prosecution had "failed miserably" in presenting their case, adding that "the actual assassins are the North Koreans".
He slammed the investigation into the murder as "shoddy" and "shameful" and said Doan had been "denied a fair trial".
Four North Koreans are accused of involvement in the murder but fled the country immediately after the killing. Aisyah and Huong's lawyers allege they paid the women to carry out what they believed were pranks for a reality TV show.
South Korea accused the North of masterminding the killing of Kim Jong Nam, who had been living in exile after falling out of favour with the ruling family in Pyongyang.
The assassination also sparked a row between North Korea and Malaysia, which had historically been one of Pyongyang's few allies. However ties appear to be improving, with the new Malaysian government announcing plans to reopen its embassy in Pyongyang.

After you play a shot, you should recover towards a central base position. This helps you to cover the whole court.
The idea of a central base
When playing singles, you need to be able to cover all parts of the court. This means you must stand in a roughly central base position.
This is obvious when you consider the alternatives:
- You stand at the front. Now you can't reach shots to the back.
- You stand at the back. Now you can't reach shots to the front.
- You stand on the left. Now you can't reach shots to the right.
- You stand on the right. Now you can't reach shots to the left.
A competent opponent will usually be able to place the shuttlecock in any part of the court. If you are too far away from the centre, then you create a huge gap. Your opponent will place the shuttlecock into that gap, and you won't be able to reach it.
The base must be flexible
The exact position of your base will vary considerably, depending on what's happening in the rally.
Your base can be affected by several factors:
- What shot you just played
- How much time you have for recovery
- The strengths and weaknesses of both players
The base depends on what shot you played
If you played a net shot, your base will remain somewhat towards the front of the court. The tighter your net shot, the closer you will stand to the front. If you play a very tight net shot, then you can commit to the net, knowing that your opponent's lifts must travel very high (this gives you time to move back).
If you played a clear towards your right side, then you will bias your base a small step to the right, covering the straight angles. Straight shots take less time (they travel a shorter distance), so you need to react to them faster.
Here are some guidelines to help you match your base position to the shot you just played:
- If you played a shot to one side of the court, bias your base to the same side.
- If you played a clear, lift, or (fast) drop shot, bias your base towards the back.
- If you played a net shot, bias your base towards the front.
There isn't much choice about base position when you play a smash: you hardly have any recovery time!
Some players, who have been taught that they should always recover to the centre, may be puzzled by my advice about clears, lifts, and drop shots. Surely they should recover to the exact centre, so they are equidistant from the net and the back line?
No. That is a hopelessly simplistic positional idea. Recovering to the exact centre is usually too far forward.
At the net, you have the full reach of your racket to play net shots and lifts. But in the rearcourt, this is not true: you do not want to be reaching behind you to play clears, smashes, and drops!
- Key tip
Your feet often need to land beyond the back line, but they don't need to reach the net: only your racket needs to reach the net.
Adjust your idea of a
centralbase to account for this important distinction.
If you always recover to the exact centre, then your opponent will win easily by playing lifts and clears. You just won't be able to get back in time.
You may not have time to reach your ideal base position
Often you will not have time to reach the best possible base position. As your opponent starts to hit the shot, you must begin your split step. This effectively creates your base position.
This situation commonly occurs after you play a cross-court drop shot. Your ideal base would be towards the same side of the court as you placed the shuttlecock; but in reality, you don't often have time to get there. Your base position will probably be slightly on the other side.
Many players, instead of using the split drop, keep on moving towards their ideal base. This is a fatal mistake, because your opponent now has the option to win the rally immediately by placing the shuttlecock away from your direction of movement. Because you are moving, you are not ready to change direction; and consequently you cannot reach the shuttlecock.
The base can be adjusted to account for strengths and weaknesses
The simplest and most common example is this: you bias your base slightly to the backhand side, because you want to play round-the-head forehands instead of backhands. This tactic is used by players of all standards, right up to world-class.
That's an example of covering your weakness: your overhead backhands are weaker than your forehands, so you adjust your base position slightly to help cover the backhand rear corner.
You can also adjust your base position to cover your opponent's strengths. If you know your opponent relies heavily on his cross-court drop shots, and his other shots are less effective, then you can adjust your base slightly forwards and towards the cross-court.
You can apply exactly the same tactic if your opponent is predictable in certain situations. Even if all his shots are equally strong, he may choose to play one favourite shot again and again (a tactical weakness). If you spot this pattern, exploit it by moving your base farther towards the expected shot. This is known as anticipating your opponent. The more predictable he is, the more you can gamble. This is an example of adjusting your base to exploit your opponent's tactical weakness.
The reverse logic applies too. If you are especially good at reaching one part of the court, you can move your base slightly away from this area to help cover others (adjusting your base to account for your technical strength). Similarly, if your opponent is weak at a particular shot, you can move your base slightly away from that shot (adjusting your base to exploit the opponent's technical weakness).

So, you totally bombed your job interview. You feel embarrassed and as if you've blown a perfectly good job opportunity. Believe it or not, the world will keep on spinning, even though you feel like it's all coming to an end. Don't fret. We know what to do after a bad interview to speed up the recovery process. We've got you covered:
What to do after a bad interview to recover
1. Let yourself be upset
First of all, no matter what happened at the interview – validate your feelings of frustration. It's disappointing to feel that you've failed at something. At the same time, don't internalize the failure. The interview didn't go well, but that doesn't reflect your capabilities or intellect. It was just something that happened.
2. Take deep breaths
Once you've had your moment of crisis, relax. Take a deep breath. Or many of them. Try to calm yourself mentally and emotionally so that you can think more rationally about what actually happened at this apparent epic failure of an interview.
3. Reality check
Nobody died. You have the rest of your life to become a job interview superstar. Trust that your interviews will get better and better over time as you have more practice. Think of the interview, even if it went poorly, as a learning experience, rather than a failure and realize that the person most upset in the situation is you.
4. Take responsibility for your share
Think about what went wrong that was in your control. In what ways did you feel like you came up short during the interview? Were you too long-winded? Did you have difficulty explaining how you would add to the workplace? What about the interview went poorly and how could you have handled things differently?
5. Take stock of what went well
It's easy to be self-critical and repeat in your head the ways things didn't go as smoothly as you would have liked. Try to spend the same amount of energy thinking about the things that went well. Think about the questions that went better than others and compliment yourself for performing well in those areas. Job interviews can be very stressful and cause us to freeze up or overthink things, so it's important to forgive yourself and cheer yourself on so that you can do better next time and maintain a positive attitude.
6. Follow up
Take a moment to follow up with the interviewer via email. Consider a question that you would like the chance to answer again and take a moment to say something along the lines of, "In addition to my response in the interview, after further thought I would like to add that…" or something along those lines. Thank them for the chance to interview in a concise way and you're set.
7. Think about how you could have improved the interview for future reference
Go through the interview in your head and try to remember all of the questions that you were asked. Write down the ones that you had difficulty answering and think about your responses in a critical way and try to improve on them. Practice out loud what you would have said. Now you're ready for the next one.
To make yourself a stand-out candidate in your next interview, apply for an international internship today.

I'm an assistant professor of Communication Arts & Sciences and Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at Penn State, where I teach courses in rhetorical theory, archival theory and methods, and intersectional LGBTQIA rhetorics. I also serve as associate director of the Center for Humanities & Information, for which I facilitate a reading group on archives. My interdisciplinary scholarship bridges rhetoric, archives and information, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies.
My first book, Queering Romantic Engagement in the Postal Age: A Rhetorical Education, is a queer history of instruction in epistolary rhetoric (University of South Carolina Press, 2019). Early research for the book was awarded the 2015 Charles Kneupper Award for the year's Rhetoric Society Quarterly essay that most contributes to rhetorical studies.
Archival research is in process for my second book project, which investigates how the same-sex romantic friendships of women teachers enabled their civic contributions as orators, published authors, and teachers of rhetoric. Early work from this project is published in Advances in the History of Rhetoric, Quarterly Journal of Speech, and Women at Work: Rhetorics of Gender and Labor.
Also in my scholarship, I explore the rhetorical, informational, and pedagogical dimensions of archives (both brick-and-mortar and digital). Links to these and other publications are available here; my full CV is here.

Love from a stranger
A young woman wins a large amount of money in a sweepstake, decides to head on a journey of adventure and encounters a stranger in the process of letting out her old apartment - so begins two hours of suspense in the Lowry's latest offering. Love from a Stranger is based on Agatha Christie's short story Philomel Cottage, which she adapted into a stage play, and Frank Vosper built this further into a 1930's West End run.
Directed by Lucy Bailey, The Fiery Angel and Royal & Derngate Northampton production moves the action to the 1950s. Clever design by Mike Britton, Oliver Fenwick's lighting and Richard Hammarton's sound add to the tension, as we move between rooms. The cast is led in suitably melodramatic style by Helen Bradbury, as sweepstake winner Cecily Harrington, and Sam Frenchum as the mysterious stranger Bruce Lovell. Nicola Sanderson is suitably Hyacinth Bucket as Aunt Louise.
Unusually for a thriller, we know the villain and their motive from the start. From the moment Lovell lewdly sniffs Cecily's undergarments it is clear what he is after – the suspense is in how he's going to get there.
Take a break from the stress of football and enjoy the suspenseful frivolity of an Agatha Christie with a twist.

Pacific Power has announced it is partnering with Facebook for the construction of 437 MW of solar projects in Oregon and Utah. No additional information was provided in a Pacific Power press release on the four projects in Utah, which are likely to serve Facebook's new Eagle Mountain Data Center, however there is some limited information regarding the two Oregon projects, which were the subject of a public announcement featuring Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D).
And here, the role of Pacific Power becomes more clear. In the case of Oregon, the utility's position is to act as a middle man between Facebook and developer Invenergy, which is building two projects totaling 100 MW to serve the social media giant's latest data center in Prineville, northeast of Bend in sunny Eastern Oregon.
Invenergy declined to provide any additional information to pv magazine on these projects, even their location, but the name of one of the plants – Millican – gives a clue. Millican is a semi-abandoned town (population:4?) on a desolate stretch of Highway 20, a road that the author once drove for about 100 miles without finding a gas station. Sunlight is the one thing that the town has ample amounts of, besides sagebrush, juniper and pine trees, and on Highway 20 wild horses outnumber human residents.
Invenergy has stated that it expects to have the 55 MW Prineville and 45 MW Millican plants online in late 2020. When complete, Facebook expects this data center to be 100% powered by renewable energy.

Education week
It's education week on our website! We have lots of content to share with you including a 30 minute documentary about Zach, a 15 year old with Down's Syndrome, who attends a mainstream secondary school in the UK. You'll also get to hear from "The Specials" as they return to their old SEN school and remember how they all first met . So head over to our Education page and then, please come back here to share your own stories and post any questions you might have for Zach, his mum Mandy and Clevedon School's Inclusion lead Ros Pegg who will be answering questions throughout the week.
What is your own experience of education? Did you get a chance to choose between SEN and mainstream schooling? What is the support like where you live?
It is so lovely to see Zach happy and content at his mainstream school. My own daughter was not so fortunate she started at Primary school and although her first teacher was very hesitate about having a "special needs" child in her class my daughter Lucy won her over eventually. We were content with the school on the whole especially with a wonderful support worker she had, who was willing to teach my daughter. Problems arose on starting the last year (year 6) Lucy lost her support worker due to her own family commitments. New support made it clear she wanted nothing to do with Lucy and thought of her as a burden.Especially as all they were concerned with was getting the best SAT figures for the school. Leaving Lucy with nothing else to do but play on her school ipad. Did go to see the SENCO at the local High School who was less than helpful and in fact I felt very rude, as even though we had made appointment to see her and get a tour of the school, we were fobbed off with anther teacher who due nothing about the schools special needs system and when SENCO did speak to us for just a few minutes a secretary came along and told her she had another appointment. Left with no doubt that this school would not be good enough for my daughter to attend. So had had little choice but to put my daughter into the local special needs school. Lucy is now in her third year here, teachers are leaving so quickly and the replacements to not have much if any special needs experience. I just want my daughter to reach her full potential what ever that level may be. I want her to be happy and have friends. Her confidence has dropped and she now struggles with trying new things. I sent her to the special needs school in the hope they would bring out the best in her and see the same wonderful person I see. But all they see is a disabled child who can't do more than colour in pictures and play with lego. That's why I love watching The Specials you give me hope for the future.
Hi Yvette, I am really sorry to hear that Lucy has had such a tough time, It must have been very hard for you all as Lucy had such a good start with her original LSA, Its so difficult when LSA's come and go, especially when the replacement isn't as supportive. Does Lucy have Down Syndrome? If so , have you any local support groups ?
Yes my daughter Lucy has Down Syndrome. I am struggling at the moment as she is now nearly 14 and wants to do all the things her older sister likes to do. But doesn't want to do them with me her mum. Says she wants to do it herself. We do belong to a local family support group that has monthly get together.They have been the family's life line. I got to hear about the specials form a friend of Lucy's at primary school who's family know Megan. It was so wonderful to watch the first series and have followed their stories ever since.


text: Renegade Posted August 28, 2019 I support free speech. I believe that free speech is a core value for liberals. I believe in the principles of John Stuart Mill (free discourse is a necessary condition for intellectual and social progress) and Voltaire (I wholly disapprove of what you say—and will defend to the death your right to say it.) Since I'm writing this in the Liberals Only room of the Liberal Forum, I expect that most of the people reading this are in general agreement on the value of free speech. If that's the case, I don't want to bore you with a lengthy and unnecessary argument in its favor. Yet, I feel the need to start this thread just to gain some reassurance for myself that this is in fact the case. Free speech is under assault around the world, and not just in places like China, Russia, and the Middle East. Free speech is under attack in democracies like Hungary, Israel, India, and others. It's even in retreat on university campuses in England and the USA. There's an excellent article in the 'International' section of The Economist (Aug 17-23): The New Censors; In both democracies and dictatorships, the global gag is tightening. As much as I respect The Economist, I wouldn't be this concerned by a single article in one magazine. In fact, I've noticed this trend for years, and it's gotten worse. It's a fairly long article, so I'm not going to cut & paste the whole thing here. For now, I'll leave out the parts about other countries where the issues mostly involve government influence and suppression. I want to share a few passages that are especially critical of the United States. Quote Meanwhile, in mature democracies, support for free speech is ebbing, especially among the young, and outright hostility to it is growing. Nowhere is this more striking than in universities in the United States. In a Gallup poll published last year, 61% of American students said that their campus climate prevented people from saying what they believe, up from 54% the previous year. Other data from the same poll may explain why. Fully 37% said it was "acceptable" to shout down speakers they disapproved of to prevent them from being heard, and an incredible 10% approved of using violence to silence them. I'm not sure I fully comprehend what it would be like to attend college in that environment. It's hard for me to imagine what it would be like in an environment where 10% of my peers would approve of physical violence against me if I said the wrong thing. How did we raise children like this? Quote Many students justify this by arguing that some speakers are racist, homophobic or hostile to other disadvantaged groups. This is sometimes true. But the targets of campus outrage have often been reputable, serious thinkers. Heather Mac Donald, for example, who argues that "Black Lives Matter" protests prompted police to pull back from high-crime neighbourhoods, and that this allowed the murder rate to spike, had to be evacuated from Claremont McKenna College in California in a police car. Furious protesters argued that letting her speak was an act of "violence" that denied "the right of black people to exist". Such verbal contortions have become common on the left. Many radicals argue that words are "violence" if they denigrate disadvantaged groups. Some add that anyone who allows offensive speakers a platform is condoning their wicked ideas. Furthermore, as America has polarised politically, many people have started to divide the world simplistically into "good" people (who agree with them) and "evil" people (who don't). This has led to bizarre altercations. At Reed College in Portland, Oregon, Lucia Martinez Valdivia, a gay, mixed-race lecturer with post-traumatic stress disorder, was accused of being "anti-black" because she complained about the aggressive students who stood next to her shouting down her lectures on ancient Greek lesbian poetry (to which the hecklers objected because the poet Sappho would today be considered white). As Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argue in "The coddling of the American mind": "If some students now think it's OK to punch a fascist or white supremacist, and if anyone who disagrees with them can be labelled a fascist or a white supremacist, well, you can see how this rhetorical move might make people hesitant to voice dissenting views on campus." As I said in the beginning, I support people's right to speak freely, even when I disagree with what they have to say. Of course there are limits, so please don't try to make me out as an extremist. I'm not in favor of libel, child pornography, or similar. I'm talking about something like the Heather Mac Donald example above. I never read much philosophy or political theory (I studied computer science and business). I'm only today discovering John Stuart Mill. So, I'm fascinated by his writing. Here's a condensed version: All Minus One. Quote Mill's main concern was not government censorship. It was the stultifying consequences of social conformity, of a culture where deviation from a prescribed set of opinions is punished through peer pressure and fear of ostracism. "Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough," he wrote. "There needs to be protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling". Mill saw people even as brilliant as Charles Darwin living in fear of the response their views would provoke. Of course, Mill was writing in Victorian England. The "social conformity" he faced was from...well, Victorian attitudes. But, I believe the principle of free speech is true and applicable in our current circumstances as well. I apologize for boring those of you who are already familiar with this work, but here's why the piece is called "All Minus One": Quote "If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." I'm sure the Victorians were absolutely positive that they knew what was right for the world. They held deep convictions that everyone would be better off if only their views were heard. But, they were wrong. Anyway, this is way longer than intended. I encourage you to read Mill and Voltaire and The Economist if you have time and tell me what you think.

This small, low angle block plane is ideal for trim carpentry, and at 400g it is half the weight of a standard block plane, which is a big plus if you carry it in your apron all day.
The small ductile cast iron body is robust enough to handle all that is thrown at it, and has been designed to be comfortable to boot, with the same Norris adjuster the larger planes have, making it easy to setup and use.
Features a low 12° bed angle and 25° bevelled blade.

Participating farmers live and grow their products within 15-75 miles of Columbus. The produce at a farmers' market is grown for flavor, taste and nutrition.
Welcome to the all new brazenbrass.com!
The Brazen Brass is Columbus, Ohio's premiere all-female brass quintet. The group is available for weddings, corporate events, private parties, public shows, and more.
We recommend a stop by our MySpace page to hear a sample of our music. We're also pretty excited about our new merch over at skreened.

The year is 2882, you are investigating a derelict starship, abandoned in deep space. The moment you enter you smell the stench of the infamous space gorn!
The space gorn is an 11 foot tall lizard-like creature with a thick scaly skin and a razor sharp, whip-like tail. Gorns are well known for their enormous appetites and also for their ability to regurgitate streams of corrosive motor oil like saliva to digest any prey up to 20 metres away.
Your mission is to find and destroy the space gorn before the ship's power runs out.

- Describe the joke as best you can in the space below: who are the people, what's the setting, etc.
- I'll email you asap with any questions. If I have any doubt about my ability to meet your deadline, I let you know at this point. Sometimes I get swamped…
- You'll get a rough sketch from me first… just pencil lines. Look it over and tell me if it's good or what you'd like to see changed. You can email me pictures of people involved at this stage, and I will do my best to capture their likeness.
- Once I get your response, I will send you a PayPal link for 50% of the cost. When that payment is made, I'll get started on finishing the art (inking and coloring).
- You'll get a second proof next with a watermark and a PayPal link for the balance due. When that payment is made, I'll send you the final art without the watermark.
One last thing… I do reserve the right to not draw something that's in poor taste, promotes hate or other bad juju, etc. I have a pretty warped sense of humor, so don't count me out on the edgy stuff. But there's a line. Be excellent to each other!
