Football child abuse scandal 'not a numbers game' as 21 forces
DEC 3rd
Football sex abuse claims: SunSport questions 19 Premier League The Sun
FOOTBALL is facing damaging allegations of sexual abuse that cast a long shadow over the game.
Chelsea confirmed they paid £50,000 in 2015 to former player Gary Johnson after he reported the horrific incidents he suffered at the hands of ex-youth coach Eddie Heath.
{L} Gary Johnson was paid £50,000 by Chelsea to not come forward with a sexual abuse allegation {R} Johnson claims to know at least three other boys who were abused by Heath
And this has now led to questions over how widespread the issue was.
SunSport believed the subject had to be confronted and so we went to the other 19 Premier League clubs with a simple question: Have you made any payments of compensation, or entered into confidentiality agreements, with any individuals with regard to allegations of sexual abuse made against any employees or junior coach/scouting staff?
All the Prem clubs were made aware that we planned to publish their replies — and also name those teams who were unwilling to provide us with an answer.
Of the top-flight clubs, 17 were insistent they had no knowledge of any payments being made.
Two clubs, Burnley and Stoke, were less forthcoming:
ARSENAL: "No we haven't."
BOURNEMOUTH: "AFC Bournemouth have made no payments of compensation and have not entered into confidentiality agreements with any individuals with regards to allegations of sexual abuse made against employees, junior coaches or scouting staff."
BURNLEY: "The Premier League have issued a statement and we have nothing further to add."
CRYSTAL PALACE: "There have been no payments from Crystal Palace as far as the current management team are aware."
EVERTON: The club's position is there have been no payments made.
HULL: "As far as we are aware, no payments of compensation have been made and we have not entered into any confidentially agreements with any individuals with regards to allegations of sexual abuse made against any of our employees or junior coach/scouting staff."
LEICESTER: "No, but with the caveat that we cannot speak for ancient history."
LIVERPOOL: The club's position is that there have been no payments made.
MANCHESTER CITY: Club stance is that there are no known payments or confidentiality agreements. The club announced an investigation last week.
MANCHESTER UNITED: "No."
MIDDLESBROUGH: "The club have no knowledge of any such payments being made, or of any confidentiality agreements relating to such matters."
SOUTHAMPTON: "Our response would be No. Southampton FC would like to confirm that we have contacted Hampshire Police following information supplied to us in relation to historical child abuse within football. The club has informed Hampshire Police that we will offer our full support to any investigation they undertake, for as long as it takes, and with our full focus. The club works closely and tirelessly with the Premier League to promote the safeguarding of children and young people who are under our care, or using our facilities, and their well-being is paramount to all staff."
STOKE: Failed to respond to our question.
SUNDERLAND: "No."
SWANSEA: "No."
TOTTENHAM: "No we have not made any payments or entered into confidentiality agreements."
WATFORD: "No."
WEST BROM: "No, but with the caveat that we cannot speak for ancient history."
WEST HAM: "Categorically, no."

Football sex abuse scandal hit Scotland too and victims Daily RecordREAD IN FULL
DEC 1st
Football child sex abuse has seen three times as many police referrals as Jimmy Savile case
NOV 30th
WE'LL BRING PAEDOS TO JUSTICE SFA child protection manager insists there will be no Scottish football sex abuse cover-up if victims come forward
Donna Martin speaks out after support group chief claims kids were abused at three Scottish clubs.
THE SFA has insisted there will be no cover-up of child abuse in Scottish football if victims come forward.
A support group claims kids were abused at three Scottish football clubs.
And Donna Martin, the SFA's Child Wellbeing and Protection manager, has said the governing body will help bring perverts who have shamed our game to justice.
She added: "The difficulty that victims face in coming forward and the courage of the players speaking out and sharing their experience must be recognised. It is our responsibility to ensure they are heard and that we respond to whatever information is shared with us."
Donna spoke in the week that Andi Lavery – head of White Flowers Alba – told The Scottish Sun he called in the SFA after uncovering historic allegations against three Scottish teams.
He revealed he's counselling five victims – and that the grooming of youngsters has been rife in the sport for decades.
Mr Lavery said: "Victims were groomed then abused afterwards. We can still get justice for victims but we need as many of them to come forward as possible."
Donna revealed any claims of historic abuse will be passed on to the cops.
She said: "Any concerns raised of a criminal nature will always be referred to Police Scotland and any action required to be taken within Scottish football will also be carried out."
Donna gave an exclusive interview to the SFA's website last Friday as historic allegations emerged against the day after Crewe Alexandra coach Barry Bennell.
Bennell was charged with eight sex offences against boys under 14 yesterday.
Donna believes tougher regulations north of the border will reduce the possibility of abuse in football in the future.
She said: "Since appropriate reporting systems and procedures have been in place, we now have a more robust system that includes appropriate referrals to police and social work authorities."
Donna, who plays a central role in keeping children safe in Scottish football, explained how the SFA goes about achieving this.
She said: "Our primary objective is to prevent unsuitable people coming into football to harm children and young people. To do this we have extended the safeguarding steps that take place when either a member of staff or volunteer is being recruited. Our reporting systems also help flag concerns over an adult's behaviour around children and we can take steps to address the concern." And she added: "Secondly, we provide training to all adults who work with young people in football."
She explained: "The training is to ensure that our clubs and affiliated bodies have the knowledge, understanding and awareness to manage cases that may arise."
The SFA already works with Children 1st and UNICEF and last week agreed a partnership with the NSPCC to put on a 24-hour hotline for victims of abuse.
Donna said: "We would urge anyone with any concerns to get in touch directly, or ring our NSPCC hotline on 0800 023 2642 or email email@example.com." And she added: "We fully appreciate and recognise how difficult it is for people who suffer abuse to speak out. However by having the courage to do this, it allows us to challenge the behaviours and take action to prevent other children being harmed."
Donna Martin made the comments in an exclusive interview with the SFA's website.
NOV 29th
Three Scottish football clubs in paedo shock as charity boss warnsKIDS were abused at three Scots football clubs, according to the founder of a victims' charity.
Andi Lavery called in the SFA after uncovering the historic allegations against the teams.
And he claims he's counselling five victims – and that the grooming of youngsters has been rife in the sport for decades.
He told how he has helped those he alleges were targeted by youth coaches from three senior teams — who we're deciding not to name.
His revelations come as cops announced an abuse investigation into separate claims linked to the national game. Mr Lavery, head of White Flowers Alba, said:
"I have cases of abuse at three senior Scottish clubs since the 1960s. Victims were groomed by being taken to watch football then abused afterwards. I could put five of them in a courtroom but, at the moment, none of them want to do it. It was never just one guy who acted alone."
Mr Lavery went on: "Most but not all of these people will now be dead. It only takes one or two to abuse hundreds. We can still get justice for victims but we need as many of them to come forward as possible."
He insists the scandal isn't limited to the single cases calling it the "elephant in the room".
Mr Lavery, a victim, went on: "Paedophilia in the game is the big thing nobody talks about. Sadly football just shows that it's endemic in life. It still goes on and will be as big a problem in Scotland than it's ever been."
His claims followed an SFA appeal for those affected in the game to speak up in wake of revelations in England.
Mr Lavery revealed he wrote to the governing body advising them of "areas to look at".
Last night Hampden beaks revealed they are working with cops and kids care charities. A spokesperson said: "We are in ongoing dialogue with Police Scotland and the NSPCC to ensure a co-ordinated response. We reiterate our wish that anybody with information relating to alleged child abuse in Scottish football comes forward using the confidential hotline or contact police."
Cops confirmed they are investigating claims from other potential victims.
Police said: "We've rec-eived reports in connetion with non-recent child abuse within football."
The bombshell also sparked a Holyrood storm.
Tory MSP Rachael Hamilton said the Nats have been urged to launch a wider inquiry covering areas like sport because it's not included in the current historical abuse inquiry.
The Government already faced criticism that the probe — looking into treatment of youngsters in residential care, long-term hospital stays, boarding schools and foster care — is too narrow.
Ms Hamilton said: "The current inquiry risks not going far enough in helping victims. I am disappointed the Scottish Government is not going forward with an investigation into the abuse in sports clubs."
Meanwhile the SNP's Christine Grahame said: "Anyone who believes they were abused as a child involved in football or has a concern about someone they think was abused should contact police."
The plea was echoed by the chief exec of Children 1st.
Alison Todd said: "Abuse pervades all parts of society. The fact that reports of child abuse in sport are now surfacing in Scotland is no surprise."
We told yesterday how ex-footie starlet Dougie Gilligan, of Hamilton, claims he was targeted aged 13 by paedo coach Barry Bennell at Butlins training camps in the 1970s.
Last week ex-Scotland striker Alan Brazil, 57, spoke again about how he was targeted as a 13-year-old at Celtic Boys' Club by youth boss Jim Torbett — caged for 2½ years in 1998. ScottishSun
Scottish football under spotlight as Police Scotland confirms major probe into historic child sex abuse claims 29th Nov 2016
The force joins several investigations across the UK to look into fresh abuse allegations in the sport
POLICE Scotland has launched a major investigation into allegations of historic child abuse in Scottish football.
It follows a series of abuse claims emerging from former players in recent days.
Those include claims against former Crew Alexander coach Barry Bennell who has been charged with eight offences against a boy aged under-14.
Tonight Police Scotland confirmed it was working with partner agencies across the country as part of a UK-wide response extending and that it too had received specific allegations.
In a statement, a spokeswoman said: "We can confirm we have received reports in connection with non-recent child abuse within football. We are working with both Operation Hydrant and the NSPCC to ensure there is a coordinated UK police response. It would be inappropriate to comment further."
The move comes just days after the SFA joined others in throwing its support behind a campaign to have anyone with knowledge of child abuse in football to speak out.
The SFA's Child Wellbeing and Protection manager Donna Martin said earlier this week: "The safety and well-being of children is off paramount importance to the Scottish FA and significant steps have been taken to ensure that their protection is integral to Scottish football's decision making process."
But Fraser Wishart, the chief executive of players' union PFA Scotland, said it would be "naive to think that these allegations are unique to one part of the UK" and vowed to protect any players that come forward.
Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People Tam Baillie also told BBC Radio Scotland earlier: "I fear we are on the brink of many revelations."
Today it was revealed a UK hotline set up for sexual abuse victims in the wake of the claims has received more than 250 reports since launching last week.
Detective Chief Superintendent Lesley Boal, part of Police Scotland's public protection unit, encouraged others to get in touch.
She said: "Speaking out about any form of child abuse is incredibly difficult and disclosures are often made many years after an incident took place. Police Scotland will listen to any such disclosure, regardless of the passage of time, and will investigate as well as work with partner organisations who have access to advocacy and support during the process of disclosure and investigation. We appreciate that sometimes finding a safe place to first talk about experiences helps eventual disclosure and would encourage anybody who feels this would assist to contact a support organisation.Details of such organisations can be accessed via Survivor Scotland."
She added: "Keeping children and young people safe is a top priority for Police Scotland and everyone has a role to play in protecting the country's children. Where reports are made, we will assess any current risks and ensure appropriate action is taken. We will continue to work with partners, including the National Police Chiefs Council through Operation Hydrant, the Scottish Football Association and the NSPCC to ensure a co-ordinated police response is in place and that we maintain an accurate picture of child abuse investigations."
Just last week the SFA joined the campaign supporting players who suffered abuse by coaches to speak out in the wake of revelations south of the border.
And the Scottish Government was today urged by a Tory MSP to launch a "focused investigation" into abuse of children in sports clubs.
MSP Rachael Hamilton said there have been pleas for the SNP administration to launch a wider inquiry covering areas such as sport as the sector is not included in the current historical abuse inquiry.
The Government has already faced criticism that the inquiry – looking into treatment of children who were in residential care, those who had long-term stays in hospital, boarding schools and those under foster care – is too narrow.
"The current inquiry risks not going far enough in helping victims of child abuse," Ms Hamilton said. I am disappointed that the Scottish Government is not going forward with an investigation into the abuse in sports clubs."
SNP MSP Christine Grahame meanwhile insisted the SFA should not have an investigatory role in any abuse allegations due to potential conflicts of interest.
The Minister added: "Anyone who believes they were abused as a child involved in football or has a concern about someone they think was abused should contact police to investigate." Scottish Sun
Eight police forces now looking at alleged historical abuse linked to football
There have been 250 reports made to police and more than 50 calls were made to an NSPCC hotline set up for sexual abuse victims in football in the initial hours of opening.
Police Scotland is the latest force to confirm it is looking into allegations following claims of sexual abuse by former players, as the FA begins an internal review.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We can confirm we have received reports in connection with non-recent child abuse within football. We are working with both Operation Hydrant and the NSPCC to ensure there is a co-ordinated UK police response. It would be inappropriate to comment further."
In the House of Lords, Baroness Chisholm said: "Since this has come out, 250 people have already contacted the police in England and Wales."
The national child abuse inquiry headed by Professor Alexis Jay is considering whether to investigate abuse in football as part of its overarching probe, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley told MPs.
And ministers are writing to all national sporting bodies to ask them to "redouble their efforts" to protect children in the wake of the scandal.
FA chairman Greg Clarke has admitted he does not know if the abuse in football was covered up by the authorities, as he scrambles to respond to "the biggest crisis" he has ever seen face the game.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "We have received multiple historical allegations from the NSPCC of abuse related to football in Cambridgeshire. The inquiries were received recently (the weekend of 26/27th) and are being looked into."
The Metropolitan, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Cheshire and Northumbria police forces are all also investigating reports of abuse. Daily Mail

Patrick Brady and general manager Richard Ellis are opening Brady's Wine Warehouse (1029 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., Suite C, 504-662-1488: www.bradyswinewarehouse.com) this month.
"We really want to make people feel comfortable and put them in touch with the best wine for their needs," Brady says. "We want to remember our customers' names, what they like to eat when they're drinking their wine, and if for some reason they don't like certain foods or flavors."
Patrick Hunter will be in charge of spirits and beer.
"The thing about craft beer, and specifically hoppy styles, is that they are meant to be consumed as fresh as possible," Hunter says. "People are focusing too much on having a wide range of products, but the beer is sitting on the shelf for way too long and not hitting the customer's glass at its peak."
The spirits selection will include many items common on current craft cocktail menus. "We want to have cocktail-focused ingredients," Hunter says. "We'll have a pretty large collection of vermouth and amaro. People are always sitting at cocktail bars and asking, 'What is that? Where can I buy that?' We want to make sure the answer is us."
The large space (with room to stock 90,000 bottles) will feature a 14-seat tasting table to allow visitors to drink and dive deeper into wine and spirits. "We want people to gather around and drink and have fun while they're learning," Brady says. "We're thinking about doing some historical classes — French history in New Orleans with French wines, Spanish history with Spanish wines."
Large-scale graphics covering one wall explain the intricacies of wine flavor, color and texture and will help bashful customers. "We would never want anyone to feel embarrassed to ask a question about anything," Brady says. "We want to help everyone learn what they like."

Discourse with the 45th Student Council - Seoul Campus
Focusing on the overall agenda and the preparation progress
김주현 email@example.com
|Copy URL / Share SNS
With the simple but significant name 'Hanmadi,' meaning one word, the 45th student council of Hanyang University has embarked upon its prologue. Listening to the words of all students and representing them, the student council is preparing to achieve grand goals to enhance students' rights and quality of life at school. Based on the teamwork they developed through voluntary activities for rural communities and the supporting experiences at the 44th student council, President Lee Kyung-eun and Vice-president Choi Kyung-sang are full of hope and desire to advance the council together. News H met the student council to hear about the holistic scheme and the current progress of preparation.
Satisfying the rudimentary needs of students
Three biggest concerns of the student council are lowering of tuition fees and increasing entrance rates to the school dormitory. Due to a host of students going through hardships paying tuition fees, previous student councils have been trying their best to reduce the fee. "Reduction in tuition fee is the most significant problem to be resolved and this concern is being carefully debated at the Hanyang University Tuition Advisory Committee," said Choi. Also, the importance of scholarship programs is being addressed, since the appropriation of the scholarship budget is being reduced.
Another goal of the Hanmadi Council is to publish the "living expenses scholarship for the future," or the Misaeng scholarship in Korean, as an official policy. This Misaeng scholarship program, which about 600 students applied and 364 students got accepted to, provides students with living expenses based on their economic conditions. "It is crucial to establish the Misaeng scholarship as an official policy of the school and settle the student council as the vanguard position to stimulate this scholarship program. Considering the flaws of this recent scholarship program, we are planning to enhance it through reviewing student surveys," said Lee.
Along with reductions in tuition fee, increasing the dormitory acceptance rate is another momentous goal of the council. The newly built accommodations have been announced to be accepting only freshmen beginning from the following semester. Initiated by strong oppositions, the council has negotiated with the school authorities to change the policy by allowing dormitory entrance of more seniors. "The original plan was successful, as many seniors who live away from home can now reside in dormitories. We think that the next step should be contacting and persuading with Seongdong-gu Office to allow more dormitory constructions," added Choi. According to Lee, there are problems such as an unclear standard in dormitory acceptance and irregularities in assigning rooms, which she ponders to be an urgent problem to be solved.
Necessity of impartial debate based operation
Both Lee and Choi emphasize the significance of debate and conversation between the school and students, while the student council being the linking medium. The Hanyang University Tuition Advisory Committee is one of the debates considered imperative by the council. The committee consists of five students from the Seoul and ERICA campuses, five school administrators, and a recommended guest. "Since the recommended guest is the key holder of a fierce debate of five to five, it is crucial that the guest is selected with care. However, the guest is currently recommended by the University president, which our council considers to be impartial," added Lee. Thus, the council is in the progress to renovate the operation of the committee to lead the results to reduction in tuition fee.
Another debate session that the Hanmadi council is looking forward to be successful is the College Education Issue Joint Confrontation T/F team for the 2016-2017 reorganization of education. "This team is a debate session proceeded during the Central Operation Committee. The committee consists of presidents and vice presidents of all departments and during the debate session, we discuss each department's concerns regarding their educational environment, contents, dissatisfactions, and more," said Lee. The committee along with the discussion session is kicking off its start with flattering anticipations.
"It has been almost three years since we worked together at the student council, and now we became the president and a vice president. We are not in these positions to be greeted with cheerful ovations, but to serve the students to meet their needs and solve problems," said both Lee and Choi. Because school and the society are interconnected worlds, the student council of 2017 is looking forward to agonize together with students about both matters and try their best to bring out the effortful results. The Hanmadi student council is looked forward by students, while singing out its beginning with hopeful visions.

Mr. DeFendis,
I am curious to know what your thoughts are on the large and complex choices of supplements that are on the market today for losing fat and getting fit. Do you personally use supplements? What supplements can I take that will get me in good shape fast? There are many supplemental protein drinks and now there are even powders formulated to ingest your carbohydrates so you don't have to eat. Please give me your opinion.
Sincerely, Looking for some fast results in Anderson
Dear Friend,
Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing on the market today that will "get you in good shape" without making an effort. There is literally "NO MAGIC PILL."
The key to achieving Success in Fitness, Weight Loss and Health, lies in Strength Training and Proper Nutrition…not supplements. Optimum results in fat loss and muscle toning will come specifically from increasing lean muscle through exercise (Strength Training) and proper eating (an Ultra Fit Healthy Diet) to insure recovery and stimulate the metabolic rate for maximum fat loss.
When strength training and proper diet is implemented a male who has the bodyfat, can expect to lose 30-35 pounds and get leaner, firmer and toner in just 7-8 weeks…all without magic pills or formula's. In the same period of time a female who has the weight to lose will be able to lose 20-25 pounds with the proper program being implemented…again, all without supplements.
Surprisingly, many people spend lots of time researching the latest supplements in pursuit of the latest "hot supplement" when they should focus on the basics first. While most athletes, bodybuilders and figure competitors have this recommendation already integrated into their lifestyles, many people who go to the gym or work out on their own forget to take enough of the best fitness & body shaping product of them all…WATER!
While most nutritionists would argue that healthy fats such as fish oils, flaxseed oil and the other "omega" fats are probably the most important supplements, water is the primary nutrient or "supplement" needed because so many people fail to consumer adequate amounts of it. Proper water intake is necessary for vitamin, mineral, protein, carb and fat transport, staying hydrated, flushing out waste products from the body, helping the body reduce subcutaneous water from under the skin, and many more functions. It will also help reduce the odds of certain problems like headaches, muscle soreness, and other symptoms commonly associated with dehydration. Other risks associated with dehydration include:
Remember that certain drinks, even if they are made with water, will cause dehydrating effects. Coffee, tea, and beer are all made with water as a primary base yet each will cause dehydration. So remember to drink adequate water amounts.
Most people would admit to drink far fewer than the recommended minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. Assuming that they removed the number of cups of coffee, teas, soft drinks, and alcohol from the equation, these people would drink far fewer glasses of water than what is necessary for a healthy balance. Consider increasing your water intake to help your body function the way it is supposed to function. This way you will have reinforcement to continue taking the best fitness product that there is…Water.
Respectfully caring about the future of South Carolina's residents,
Your Personal Trainer,
Mr. USA John DeFendis
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions. My e-mail address is: defendis [at] aol.com

Hutabarat, Ester Lucia
The first time I entered the room at P & R Residence, I liked it so much that I smiled and said aloud "I like this!" It reminds me of small hotels I stayed in when I travelled in Europe long time ago. The cleanliness, the neatness, complete amenities, and a spacious room for budget price are nothing to complain about.
Although I didn't get to try their breakfast (my workshop started at 8.30 am daily at another venue, while their breakfast only starts at 8.30 am!), but every morning I came downstairs and asked for a mug of hot water to make coffee in my room and they always served me very well.
Location wise it's far from any BTS stations...BUT...it's only a few steps away from Si Phraya pier, where I could catch a water bus going down 2 piers to Sathorn and directly hop on BTS at Saphan Thaksin station, at the same location with Sathorn pier. Then I can go anywhere I want in Bangkok! Even only took me 20 minutes to go to Chatuchak Weekend Market.
I will definitely stay there when I get the chance to visit Bangkok again!

The form should be submitted to the faculty office accompanied by independent corroborating evidence such as a letter from a GP, counsellor or social worker, Fitness to work note or a police incident report.
The standard 10 working day extension because of valid extenuating circumstances may place the new deadline in a student vacation period. If a student is offered such an extension, they may:
- choose to submit the work by the extended deadline, or,
- if the extended deadline is in the student vacation period, choose to not submit for this deadline, but to have the extenuating circumstances considered valid for non-submission. In this case the Award Assessment Board will make a decision on how the student will be assessed (i.e. by referral or repeat) based on the full profile of results, so making this choice may have implications for the student's progression or graduation.
Students may apply for extenuating circumstances that affect them during student vacation periods, to be taken into account.
External Advisory Panel. All Schools should have an External Advisory Panel who will ensure programmes are aligned to the needs of industry and to facilitate positive industry links to enhance student placements and employment. Guidance on terms of reference for Employer Advisory Panels.
External examiners: access comprehensive information for external examiners. There is a list of subject/programme
level briefing material sent to external examiners on initial appointment
and as part of the annual update.
External Speakers and Events Policy
An External Speakers and Events Policy has been developed for visiting speakers to the University. Anyone organising an event which involves an external speaker should make sure they are familiar with, and follow the new procedure set out in, the policy. The majority of requests will be straightforward, but all external speakers must be given a copy of the Guidance for External Speakers document. A proforma has been developed which must be completed when orgainising external speakers If you have any questions, or need further guidance, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Failing to make progress: students fail to progress in their studies for a number of reasons. These can include domestic, childcare, family, health, emotional, funding, study skills, and disabilities. To make sure students are aware of the wide range of support available you should encourage them to talk with their personal tutor, programme leader or visit the UPSU Students Advice Centre for a confidential one-to-one interview with a trained advice worker.
Please visit the academic regulations pages for all degree programmes.
Regulations regarding unsatisfactory progress.
Faith and Spiritual Matters: the multi faith chaplaincy is for everyone on campus, whether you have a faith, are searching for faith, or just want to meet people.
Feedback: all learners need feedback to help them learn and improve. The University requires staff to provide students with feedback on all assessment including exams. In addition as a minimum, grades should be available for all time-controlled assessments (including examinations and in-class tests). Please remember the University of Plymouth has a 20 day turnaround time for feedback and marks on all assessments.
- 7 Steps to: effective feedback
- Teaching, learning and support feedback webpages
- the JISC website, which includes information on using technology in feedback
Feed-forward: provides information students can use to make improvements to current or future assessments. It is different to feedback as it focuses on longer term development and is forward-looking rather than concerned with work already completed. Examples include:
- the opportunity to get comments on a draft or outline, and so take account of these in the final version
- the option of a practice test (for example, getting feedback on how well students answered multiple-choice questions)
- a pre-exam revision seminar, or a workshop focusing on past exam papers (sometimes called 'pre-emptive' feedback).
The JISC website contains useful information on using technology in feed forward and feedback.
Formative feedback and marking sheet example from the Faculty of Business.
Feed-in: when staff offer students what is required from an assessment. At this stage, students can have discussions with you to make sure they understand the assignment.
Funding: Visit our funding webpage if you are looking for funding to take your pedagogic research/practice further.
Field trips: All fieldwork should operate under the University's Code of Practice on Fieldwork and Off-site activity. Staff must make reasonable adjustments and arrangements so that all students can access field trips. The Student Support Document (SSD) will specify individual requirements for disabled students. Consider any health and safety implications. Our Field Trip Process identifies the required steps when organising a trip. Disability Services can offer additional advice and support. Students who require advice on funding field trips should contact the UPSU Student Advice Centre. Information on inclusive field trips. Advice for academic staff on how to assist students with different disabilities
First Aid: Trained first aiders are located in every University building. It is important that untrained students or staff do not intervene but immediately alert a first aider or call the relevant service on 999.
Fitness to practice: a Fitness to Practice policy is used in the School of Health and Human Sciences and PUPSMD for students on professional programmes leading to registration, e.g. doctors, dentists nurses, midwives and social workers. This process is used prior to entry and for students on a course of study.
The Professional Issues Committee considers all potential students who have health problems or who have traces on Disclosure and Baring Service (DBS) checks which may preclude them from undertaking a programme of study.
- Health and Human Sciences procedures
- PUPSMD procedures medicine and dentistry
Fitness for study: this is now The Study and Wellbeing Review policy and it provides a three-stage framework to guide practice in directing students to appropriate support, and to determine in a timely fashion what actions are needed where health, wellbeing or Fitness for Study concerns .
Flexible learning: is about providing learners with choices regarding when, where and how learning occurs (the pace, place and mode of delivery). It helps to attract and meet the needs of an increasingly diverse range of students and includes making appropriate use of technology to support the learning process.
- the Higher Education Academy (HEA) webpages on flexible learning
- the HEA flexible learning guide for staff.
Funding issues: the UPSU Student Advice Centre have specialist advisors who can help with issues including fees, loans, grants, bursaries and the National Scholarship Programme. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call +44 1752 588373.
- Information on scholarships and bursaries
- University of Plymouth Student Funding Unit.
Global Challenge: a co-curriculum programme for students explaining what it means to be a global citizen in the 21st century.
Graduation: the graduation webpages provide all the information about graduation
Group work: students need clear guidance on the expectations of group work. The design of a group work assessment should take into consideration the size of the groups and ensure the task is complex enough to require a collaborative approach. You should specify how the groups' progress will be monitored. Is the assessment of the product or process, the group and/or individual contribution? More help and advice is available on our group work webpages. We have produced some example group work activities.

The 4th, in summation:

+I con Melissa Fife (opera singer) into a verse of My Country 'Tis of Thee--outcome: our party's cool quotient is elevated from awesome to bitchin'
+Mabel and the water pistol (pictured below)

+despite my grumbled pronouncement that I will never throw another party, the "get together" goes off sans hitch
+we forget trash bags and spend the night rotating grocery bags
+Tyson orchestrates a snowcone project. the ability to make our own snowcones? this is real freedom.
+I open and start a coke, then lose track of it, and open another. I do this at least 4 times

No-Oven Muffins
My love of fall and winter is usually celebrated with a bout of baking many yummy seasonal things. It makes me feel all warm and wonderful inside to smell it cooking. This year, however, our oven has given out. I've found out that I really don't need an oven much, as we procrastinate about getting a new one, and have adapted some of my usual recipes to stove-top, slow cooker, grill, bread machine, or microwave. It turns out that grilled pizza is incredible, you can grill an entire chicken, my husbands favorite enchiladas are great in the crock-pot, and baked potatoes in the microwave aren't half bad. Thinking of the kids' birthdays and Thanksgiving next month, however, has made my creative problem solving rise to new heights. As part of my desire to find a way to make cupcakes without an oven I've been experimenting with muffins. And it turns out to be true that muffins can be made in a crock-pot. And, just in case you ever find yourself in a situation where this would be helpful, I'll share.
No-Oven Muffins
**Warning! I do not condone this… anymore. My crock-pot broke shortly after this so please, do not attempt. See my later post On Second Thought**
Slow cooker muffins are easy and likely heat up your kitchen less than making them in the oven. I would not be surprised if they saved energy too. You have to have a large slow cooker to accommodate a muffin tin, or you can use stand-alone muffin cups in a cake or bread tin. I had a 9″ round cake tin that fit perfectly, slightly elevated, as it caught on the inner lip about halfway down in the crock-pot. I put stand-alone cupcake liners in the tin and filled these with my muffin mix (banana muffins). I covered the cake tin with foil, put 1/2 cup water on the bottom of the slow cooker, and covered the slow cooker. After 2 hours on high, the result was extremely moist and yummy muffins! The one downside of slow-cooker muffins is that they somehow did not smell fabulous as they were cooking. I believe it may have something to do with the steam in the crock, though the water is added to help heat conductivity. I just sighed and lit a pumpkin spice candle. Next time I think I'll try it without the water and see what the result is. I may also stack a bread tin under my cake tin and see if I can do 2 layers at once.
Now, how to roast pumpkin seeds without an oven. Hmm… skillet?
Oh, and Thanksgiving. If you have any brilliant ideas for how to make a turkey and a pumpkin pie sans oven, leave me a comment and let me know!
Happy Autumn!

This report is concerned with the issues at hand regarding the awarding of academic credit for work or life experience relevant to the field a student wishes to study. Four major recommendations are made within the report: (1) a committee should be set up to govern the accrediting of life and work experience, to determine the overall policy, and to review applications for credit; (2) a counseling programs should be set up to advise students of the accrediting procedure, to help the assess their own backgrounds and qualifications, and to help them obtain sufficient evidence, references, and demonstration of experience; (3) the student should activate the procedure by completing an application and by obtaining such references and information as would be needed to substantiate his claim; and (4) a degree of flexibility should be maintained in order to assure the participating student of the fairest decision possible (HS)

Akagera is home to rare and elusive species like the sought-after shoebill and swamp-dwelling Sitatunga. Its extensive network of freshwater lakes and papyrus swamps form the largest protected wetland in central Africa.
How the park got it's name
The park is named after the Akagera River that flows along its eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes, the largest of which is Lake Ihema. The rolling hills of acacia and brachystegia woodland, coupled with scattered grassland and swamp-fringed lakes create a park of breathtaking scenic beauty.
As of May 2017, Akagera became a 'Big Five' park with lions, rhino, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, elephant and hundreds of birds species. Wildlife populations are thriving due to effective law enforcement and successful conflict-mitigation with surrounding communities, with poaching at an all time low in the park.
Until lions were reintroduced in 2015, only leopards and hyenas were found in the park. Smaller predators including serval and side-striped jackal , along with iseveral mongoose and viverrid species, are abundant and doing well in the park.
Of the primate family, olive baboons and vervet monkeys are common. A far rarer site is the secretive blue monkey, which, until recently, was thought to have become extinct in Akagera.
Elephant, giraffe and hippopotamus are amongst the largest mammals found in the park, joining a number of naturally occurring large plains game species including buffalo, topi, zebra, defassa waterbuck, the secretive roan antelope and the statuesque eland. Smaller herbivores present include duiker, oribi, bohor reedbuck, klipspringer, bushbuck and impala.
Bird Species
Approximately 500 bird species have been document in the park. Akagera is an important ornithological site, with rarities such as the shoebill and papyrus gonolek, which are both restricted to the papyrus swamps, the localised red-faced barbet and the swamp flycatcher.
Threatened Species
Masai giraffe were introduced into the park from Kenya back in 1986, with the current population estimated at 60 individuals, while elephant, which once occurred naturally in the park, were reintroduced in 1975 and now number about 90 individuals. In 2017, 18 Eastern black rhino were translocated to the park.
Wildlife Monitoring
Every two years, an aerial census is conducted in order to monitor wildlife populations. Several elephants have been fitted with GPS collars as part of a long-term monitoring initiative to track ther movements, learn about habitat-use, and to help overall to better protect them. Rangers conduct monthly road counts in order to gain a clearer understanding of animal densities and distributions.
Akagera is the site of a project to rehabilitate populations of grey crowned cranes previously kept as pets in and around Kigali. Managed by the Rwanda Development Board, Akagera National Park, and veterinarian, Olivier Nsengimana, it aims to release previously captive grey crowned cranes back into the wilds of Rwanda, where it is estimated that less than 200 remain. A number of rehabilitated cranes have already been released and are breeding in the park.

Representatives with the online Slooh Community Observatory are hoping to capture some amazing footage of the "shooting stars" during a webcast tonight (Oct. 21). You can watch the broadcast — which will feature views from telescopes in the Canary Islands and Arizona — live directly through Slooh (http://live.slooh.com/) starting at 8 p.m. EDT (0000 Oct. 22 GMT). Slooh experts will be available to discuss the science of the shower, and they have also set up a way for viewers to hear the ionization of the meteors as they streak through the atmosphere. You can also see the meteor shower webcast live on Space.com.
"The Orionids are usually the year's third-richest meteor shower," Slooh astronomer Bob Berman said in a statement. "Not to mention that they zoom away from one of the best known and easily recognized constellations. But this year they're particularly conspicuous because, unlike the August Perseids that unfolded under a full moon, and the December Geminids, which will also be diminished by moonlight during half the night, the moon will be totally absent for the 2014 Orionids. It should be quite a nice show."

Section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
|Canadian Charter
of Rights and Freedoms
|Part of the Constitution Act, 1982.
|Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms
|Fundamental Freedoms
|Democratic Rights
|3, 4, 5
|Mobility Rights
|Legal Rights

|Application of Charter
|32, 33
Section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a section that constitutionally guarantees Canadian citizens the democratic right to vote in a general federal or provincial election and the right to be eligible for membership in the House of Commons or of a provincial legislative assembly, subject to the requirements of Section 1 of the Charter. Federal judges, prisoners and those in mental institutions have gained the franchise as a result of this provision, whereas the restriction on minors voting was found to be permissible due to section 1.
Section 3 is one of the provisions in the Charter that cannot be overridden by Parliament or a legislative assembly under Section 33 of the Charter, the notwithstanding clause. Section 3's exemption from Section 33 provides extra legal protection to the right to vote and it may prevent Parliament or the provincial governments from disenfranchising any Canadian citizen for ideological or political purposes, among others.
Under the heading "Democratic Rights," the section reads:
|3. Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of the members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly and to be qualified for membership therein.
No formal right to vote existed in Canada before the adoption of the Charter. There was no such right, for example, in the Canadian Bill of Rights. Indeed, in the case Cunningham v. Tomey Homma (1903), it was found that the government could legally deny the vote to Japanese Canadians and Chinese Canadians (although both groups would go on to achieve the franchise before section 3 came into force).[1]
The section has generated some case law expanding the franchise. In 1988, section 3 had been used to grant suffrage to federal judges and those in mental institutions. A more controversial example is Sauvé v. Canada (2002),[2] in which it was found that prisoners could vote. They did so in the 2004 federal election, despite public opposition from Conservative leader Stephen Harper.[3]
In the 2002 case Fitzgerald v. Alberta,[4] the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta found that although a minimum voting age of 18 violated section 3 of the Charter, it was justifiable under section 1 of the Charter. The decision was upheld upon appeal.[5]
Electoral participation and political spending[edit]
Generally, the courts have interpreted section 3 as being more generous than simply providing a right to vote. As stated in the case Figueroa v. Canada (2003),[6] the section has been viewed as a constitutional guarantee to "play a meaningful role in the electoral process," which in turn encourages governmental "respect for a diversity of beliefs and opinions." This does not mean, however, that interest groups have complete freedom to promote their beliefs and opinions. Since the voter must have an opportunity to balance various ideas in his or her own mind before meaningfully participating in an election, the Supreme Court has, in the case Harper v. Canada (Attorney General) (2004),[7] upheld laws that limit the amount of money a single group can contribute in the election (to prevent a monopolization of the campaign).
Sizes of constituencies[edit]
Although one cannot see this on the face of the Charter, the Supreme Court has also ruled that section 3 guarantees a measure of equality in voting. In Reference re Prov. Electoral Boundaries (Sask.) (1991),[8] it was found that constituencies should have roughly the same number of voters, although perfection was not required. The reasoning behind this expansion of section three's meaning was that it supposedly reflected the original purpose of the section, namely to allow "effective representation." The concession that perfection is not required stemmed from the fact that perfection would be impractical, given geographical limits in drawing boundaries and a general desire to give minorities more representation. While Saskatchewan's constituencies were found to be valid in the 1991 decision, Prince Edward Island's were later deemed unconstitutional by the courts and the province's electoral map had to be redrawn.
While section 3's reach has been expanded to cover the sizes of constituencies, it has not been extended to guarantee the right to vote in a referendum. In Haig v. Canada (1993),[9] it was ruled that since section 3 was designed in specific reference to electing representatives, the right could not include participation in a "device for the gathering of opinions". It was also noted that unlike elections, governments do not have to hold referendums, nor do governments have to commit themselves to the result of a referendum. Thus, how a referendum is administered is within governmental discretion.

pretty & priceless
This was my reaction when one of my bestest gals Polly told me she was setting up a fashion log book documenting what clothes she's wearing every day, but with a catch – not allowing herself to buy any NEW clothes for 169 days.
This is a hella lotta time not to have any impulse card-machine action whatsoever (and I do know she likes to peruse those aisles) – this is to raise awareness for overconsumption which is GREAT. Let's be honest, how often do you REALLY need that new jumper/skirt/top…. and how many times have you heard your friends say: "umm don't you already have that?" So often do we buy items stupidly similiar to what we already have, and many brits have admitted to believing retail therapy offers a release after a shitty day at work. A bankrupt bank account is not the answer ladies.
Pol will be posting photos every day looking fabulous – and financally-free!!
For a little bit of budget-busting inspiration (particularly apt at this time of year ) check out her blog http://169days.tumblr.com for some gorgeous photos of her wowing us with her wardrobe in lots of wacky and wonderful ways.
