Why am I interested in the history of home education?
A week or so ago, somebody commenting here asked why I was so interested in the origin of home education in this country. It was a reasonable question and the answer is that it might help us to understand how the present conflict arose between home educating parents and their local authorities. I remarked in a recent post that there seems little appetite for investigations of this sort, but before I leave the subject for good, let us consider one or two points.
There is currently a lot of friction between some home educators and their local authorities. Some local authorities try to insist upon home visits and wish to see the children. Others want detailed evidence of the work being done, including written samples which are dated. The insistence on home visits in particular creates an awful lot of ill feeling. I doubt that anybody would disagree with any of this.
The situation in the early 1970s was very different. There were no home visits, parents instead being invited to visit an office without their children. The demands for timetables were a thing of the past by then, as was any insistence that particular academic subjects should be covered in the education. In fact the situation in 1972 contained all the elements that the more militant home educators are now demanding. The question we need to ask is why did things change during the 1970s and the early 1980s? Everything used to be fine and then it all went wrong. If we could establish what happened during those years to make local authorities less amenable to the idea of home education, then we might get a line on how to reverse the situation and return things to the way that they used to be forty years ago; when local authorities were more laid back about home education.
None of this matters to me personally, but it might help those who seem to spend much of their lives rowing with their local authorities.

An interesting point, Simon.ReplyDelete
I suspect that it's linked to the introduction of the National Curriculum and a growing belief that education can only be delivered in one way and consists of a very narrow range, with no tolerance for the fact that children develop at different speeds and have different abilities and support needs.
The other factor that might influence decisions is the growth in the number of home educators and the shift from idealogical home educators to those who have been failed by an increasingly rigid system that is run out of large educational factories.
Those whose children aren't suited to battery education and whose children bear the scars of a SEN system that has been acknowledged as not fit for purpose have already tried to work with the same staff who now assess their provision. They have often gone through tribunals and seen evidence that LA staff are either ignorant of or ignoring their legal requirements so they check exactly what the LA's are entitled to do and ask for.
Which, in my experience, doesn't go down well with LA staff, who then categorise you as awkward troublemakers because you won't accept that 'nanny knows best'.
Atb, and thanks for answering my question

If you're going to suggest that home educators might be able to improve relationships by modifying their attitudes and behaviour towards the authorities, then you are missing a very large part of the problem: the people and agendas within the organisations have changed.ReplyDelete
Wiser heads in LA education are long gone and we have a wide range of new people spanning education and social services (some, no doubt, the "professionals" that you so often refer to) with vested interests bigger than mere children. They have targets to meet, backs to cover and empires to build.
Social workers, bureaucrats, politicians, charity wonks and private bodies all see opportunities and threats that don't necessarily align with the interests of children or society generally, but shouting "every child matters" and "the interests of the children must come first" is a good way of hiding their ulterior motives.
As the other commenters here have correctly noted, the change Simon alludes to is not the result of the home education movement having been subverted by marxists / organic gardeners or alternative medicine users as Simon appears to believe. Rather it is the result of a change in the culture within the heart of central government to one of increasingly over-bearing control of the lives of ordinary people and a deliberate policy of replacing parental responsibility for and oversight of children and young people with routine state oversight and management. Typically Simon doesn't notice this and lays the blame for the conflict between increasing state control as manifested by LA behaviour towards home educators and those feisty parents who take their responsibilities seriously enough to resent them being usurped. Not that Simon's a statist. *Snigger*ReplyDelete

I think you will find the answer to that question in my previous posts.
'I suspect that it's linked to the introduction of the National Curriculum and a growing belief that education can only be delivered in one way and consists of a very narrow range, with no tolerance for the fact that children develop at different speeds and have different abilities and support needs.ReplyDelete

By the time that the National Curriculum was introduced in 1988, the home education landscape in this country had already changed beyond all recognition. You are probably right to attribute it to the increasing number of parents who pulled their kids from school because they felt that the schools could not cater adequately for their children. I shall be posting about this in the future.Replies
- Anonymous7 February 2013 at 08:16
Not 'felt that schools could not cater adequately for their children', Simon.Delete
You've worked with SEN children and seen the provision, so I suspect you know as well as I do that the system not only doesn't work for all children but it can't. I'm fine about that. What bugs me is people assuring me that they can do something when they not only can't, but don't understand what the underlying problem is.
Which brings me back round to how some home-educating parents got their reputations for being trouble makers! I'm sure I can't be the only one who ended up sitting in review meetings asking exactly how schools planned to make adaptations and what expertise and experience the experts who were discussing my children actually had when it came to dealing with my children's combination of weaknesses and strengths.
Incidentally, I looked at the categories of home edder in your previous post and thought 'oh, she's missed out 'hot housing tiger parent'' Do you think I should ask her to include it?

Why AI might be the rep's best friend
When looking for the next big thing in digital communication, there's nothing bigger than the sweeping changes promised by artificial intelligence. There's little doubt that AI is coming to pharma but will it – as many in marketing and sales fear – just mean that people get replaced by computers? Or might it actually solve a problem that's been perplexing marketers for years?
The understandable fear of AI
People are concerned about AI and its potential impact on the job market. In the general media, we often hear how automation will make people unemployed in entire sectors. These concerns are understandable. Fundamental change almost certainly is coming.
We're already celebrating the 20-year anniversary for a highly significant event – the defeat of chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov by IBM's Deep Blue computer. And humans continue to lose when pitched against machines in media events – the latest being Google Deep Mind's AlphaGo defeat of the world's number one Go board game player in 2016.
We can't beat these supercomputers the theory goes, so that's the end of work. Well, that's one scenario. And it would be silly to disregard it. But is it the only possible outcome?
Rather than using the power of technology to make ourselves useless, others argue that it will expand what we can do. For them, it's just as likely that we will collaborate with AIs as compete with them – that the relationship won't be like a chess match but rather a partnership.
It's a much more positive scenario and one, in fact, currently being explored by pharma with the aim of improving face-to-face interactions with HCPs by better leveraging data.
"It's just as likely that we will collaborate with AIs as compete with them – that the relationship won't be like a chess match but rather a partnership."
Lots of data, little customer benefit
Thanks to digital communications technology, customer data is better than ever. All those interactions with websites, apps and e-detailers has created a huge amount of information.
The hard part now is knowing how to act on all that data. It can be mined in HQ to inform overall communications strategy or access the effectiveness of tactics. But the real challenge is to use customer data to provide a personalised service. In other words, how do we get the data in the hands of staff meeting face-to-face with HCPs?
This is something that has frustrated marketers for a number of years. We now count storage in zettabytes, which is one trillion gigabytes. It's hard to get our minds around it. And that's where the AIs come in.
According to Tor Kristensen, Anthill's Chief Technical Officer, "AI offers pharma a way out of the 'one-size-fits-all' approach by ensuring that data not only gets to the right person but is delivered in a way that makes it easy for them to act."
"AI offers pharma a way out of the 'one-size-fits-all' approach by ensuring that data not only gets to the right person but is delivered in a way that makes it easy for them to act."
AI at the service of reps
One approach we've already seen trialled is AI used as an assistant for customer-facing staff – connecting reps to the data but leaving them in charge and able to decide how to act. As such it works something like a golf caddie: humans play the game and the AI gives advice by making suggestions.
"It works like a golf caddie: humans play the game and the AI gives advice by making suggestions."
First there is help for the rep's call planning, with the AI suggesting HCPs to visit. Then the rep receives suggestions for the content to discuss with each HCP, based on data of what would be most beneficial to each doctor.
Importantly, these are still just suggestions. The rep is completely free to refuse any advice but must provide a reason. This feedback enables the system to continually learn and improve.
The need for flexible content
While it's early days, such systems bring us much closer to the personalised 'just for you' communications that digital technology should be providing. It solves a key of the puzzle but it's still just part of the solution. There's still a missing piece.
According to Sebastian Kölsch, Anthill's Chief Solutions Officer, "To leverage the AI data, customer-facing staff still need the content to be flexible. They have to be able to present different topics in different ways depending on what the data is telling them."
Flexible content is something that we've been working on together with our clients for years. At Anthill, we call this the 'dynamic agenda', which is a way for reps to quickly select content and have it assembled into a presentation.
"To leverage the AI data, customer-facing staff still need the content to be flexible. They have to be able to present different topics in different ways depending on what the data is telling them."
There's no loss of central marketing control because reps are working with core content. The only difference is that the content is provided in a form that can be made to easily fit different customer requirements. No matter whether that's based on a rep's local knowledge or a suggestion from an AI, this gives people the flexibility to act in ways that are relevant to each customer.
Closing the loop
Looked at this way, rather than being a threat, AI is actually protecting reps by enabling them to work more efficiently and provide more value. It also protects the large investments that pharma has made in face-to-face technologies.
What's important – actually groundbreaking – about these new AI technologies is that they enable us to truly close the loop. We can get great data from customer interactions with digital communications; we can use AI to deliver useful insights to customer-facing staff in a way that's easy (the missing piece), and we can empower them with content that is flexible so that they can respond.
- Digital communications have generated a lot of data
- Need to get data to customer-facing staff in an easy way
- AI can do this by suggesting topics to cover
- Flexible content enables reps to respond to these insights
What's next: Get started with multichannel
Many companies are looking to 'get going' with multichannel by building on their existing e-detailing platforms. To show what can be done, Anthill has created an e-book 'multichannel e-detailing' that lays out the opportunities.

"$600 million in U.S. shale infrastructure + 2,000 million well-feet drilled = 100s petabytes of relevant data."
Digital Oilfield Outlook Report, GE, Accenture & JuneWarren-Nickles Energy Group, October 2015
The Time is Now to Drive Efficiency
Digital transformation is taking place in every industry with remarkable speed and success. The oil and gas industry is no exception and the time is now to take advantage of technology to drive new efficiencies to automate, streamline not only the entire industry but the associated processes that have been up until today, very complex, labor intensive and manual. It's also true that the oil and gas industry is paper intensive and the documentation required for every step in the process is immense.
There is a benefit to all sectors of the oil and gas industry – oil sands producer, exploration and production, midstream and downstream or service and supply. Whatever vertical sector you are in the challenge is how to get at the large volumes of data that are in either paper documents or stored digitally in archived databases? Being able to not only access but enrich the historical oil recovery, well drilling, rig, well logs and other corporate documents to optimize production is a major opportunity for oil and gas companies today. The process can be significantly streamlined by accessing the data to make smarter decisions.
With all of these challenges, the move towards digital transformation and "data driven" or "digital oil fields" will enable oil and gas companies to fully utilize historical structured and unstructured data to drive future business decisions. In order for companies to truly benefit, the goal of digital transformation is not to just digitize the data but to use the data to drive actionable intelligence and insight and to inform individuals at all levels of the organization.
On the road to digital transformation, organizations need to have a comprehensive approach of not only integrating "inflight" data but all of the historical dark data that is stored electronically. AI Foundry's solutions can add intelligence to all of this data and make it usable in the day-to-day environment.
Access to geological data such as core samples or seismic data, log data on rig sensors, metering data, drilling mechanics, cybersecurity; various reports including morning reports, HSE reports, various financial and work permits; manuals including equipment configuration and maintenance would be possible with our ECM solution and provide powerful insight into daily activities.
Another critical component is the ability to streamline and automate various processes in the organization with the use of automated workflows and our BPM solution which will reduce the inefficient and manual processes so common today.
With integration, the data is enriched and transformed into actionable intelligence enabling teams to more accurately analyze trends across the organization and uncover operational risks and bottlenecks. Having the technology, infrastructure and platform for storing and managing both structured and unstructured data will help oil and gas companies in production optimization, HSEE enhancements and better labor utilization and drive real results.
91% believe digital technologies are adding value today in the oil and gas industry.
80% plan to invest the same or more in digital technologies over the next 3-5 years.
66% believe analytics represent a very important opportunity to transform their business.
Integrating and streamlining your processes and reporting across business units can be a time-consuming struggle that impact success. Actionable Intelligence Management solutions from AI Foundry can help empower your organization, streamline processes and inform business tasks. Some examples of where Actionable Intelligence Management (AIM) Solutions can help:
• Bid Process • Cost Estimation • Production Optimization • Job Requisitions • Maintenance Procedures

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) _ An acquaintance of a slain Massachusetts man says former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez looked angry at the victim a couple of days before the slaying.
Kwame Nicholas was on the stand Tuesday when he said he was in the same club as Hernandez and Odin Lloyd two nights before Lloyd was killed.
Hernandez is accused of the June 17, 2013, killing of Lloyd, who was dating Hernandez's fiancee's sister.
Under questioning by prosecutors, Nicholas testified that Hernandez stared at Lloyd and looked angry. The description was stricken by the judge after the defense objected.
Nicholas then testified that Hernandez went "storming out of the club" with his head down at closing time and brushed off Lloyd, who was following behind.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty.

A friend once told me about waste collection at Triund, a volunteering activity she was part of during the Environment Day (5th June) celebrations with an NGO called Waste Warriors in Mcleodganj, Himachal Pradesh. I was hooked to it wherein she shared about her experience of trekking a 9 km Triund hill by participating in waste collection along the trail. I got the details from her and talked to some other friends to join me for the trek. The idea of volunteering on a hill for waste collection was an instant hit, considering all of us were from an environment background. I write about it after an year as the first story on my blog.
Triund, situated in the lap of Dhauladhar mountain range is a very popular trekking spot which attracts a lot of tourists. In the month of March we took a train from Ahmedabad to Pathankot and a car from Pathankot to Mcleodganj reaching there on Sunday night. We would start our exciting waste collection at Tround journey on Monday morning.
Collecting the gear for waste collection at Triund
The NGO gave us waste collection sticks, bags and gloves. We were instructed that Triund trek involves gradual to steep ascents of 9 km, which amateurs like us could cover in about 5-6 hours one way. We started from Mcleaodganj, breaking at Galu for Maggi and Chai.
Let the waste collection at Triund begin!
Further on we started the trek looking for pet bottles of water & juice, tetra packs, biscuit & chocolate wrappers or any such potential recyclable or non recyclable waste.
Taking breaks from waste collection activities
We could not resist taking a break to appreciate the beautiful pathway through forests of oak, deodar and rhododendron. Waste collection at Triund took a brief break.
Glares and Stares during waste collection at Triund
We got the glares and stares thanks to our sticks and waste bags. Some people even asked why we were doing it, while some encouraged us for doing fabulous work, some looked at us and dared not to throw the bottle they were holding, just yet. We finally reach the mid way of our trek – the magic view chai shop. After emptying some of our bags here we headed straight up.
The last Mile
It started getting cold and we knew we were close to the top of triund. Our bags kept getting heavier and the snow kept us motivated to keep going. We met few trekkers who had started their descend, who informed us that the view is fabulous and we should hurry up before sundown. Hurry we did!
Reaching the top of Triund
What a fabulous view it was and trekking all the way up the hill was worth every wrapper we picked up! The sun was setting and we retired into the forest guesthouse for a much deserved rest.
Business as usual
The next day we collected waste over the hill and deposited at a common point. Over 30 beer and liquor bottles, even more PeT bottles & tetrapacks, half burned cardboard boxes of pizza, eggshells, etc. were some of the waste we collected.
After segregating the waste into recyclable and non-recyclable we started putting them in bags which would later on be taken away by mules. Our guide and staff from Waste Warriors informed us that there are no recycling units in the nearby area in Himachal Pradesh and all the organic waste generated just sits and rots on the hills while the recyclables are separately collected to be sent to Punjab. With that talk our work for the week was done and we were ready to conquer the Triund waste hill by clicking this photo.
Tips for Sustainable Trek:
1) Carry a bag to store the wrappers and plastic packets. Ideally dispose it in waste bins after reaching back to Mcleodganj
2) Dispose PeT bottles at waste bins provided at every few meters or at the 2 chai shops on the way.
3) Do not throw leftover food in the waste bins as the putrefying odor attracts monkeys. In order to eat that food, they topple the bins and spread the contents.
4) Take food only in the quantity that you will consume.
5) Avoid liquor – it harms your health while trekking and the bottle waste has to be taken by mules all the way back.

Northumberland cricket cup found in hospital cupboard
A cricket cup which is more than 80 years old has been mysteriously found at a Northumberland hospital.
The silver cup, in memory of a Blyth businessman and ship owner Thomas Knight, was found in a store cupboard at Blyth Community Hospital.
Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is appealing for people to come forward with information about the history of the cup.
Matron Lynne Greig said it was a "complete surprise" it was found.
The Knight Memorial Hospital Cricket Challenge Cup was competed for between 1926 and 1939 with winners including Ashington, Bedlington and Seaton Burn.
Ms Greig said the hospital had "no idea" it was involved in the cricket competition.
To celebrate the discovery of the cup, the trust is working with Northumberland Cricket Board to hold a charity cricket competition next year between local clubs.
Ian Wardle, director of cricket at Northumberland Cricket Board, said: "Cricket has a long history in the county and it is fascinating that this cup has been unearthed after so long.
"It would be great to find out more about the cup to help us plan for the competition next year."

LOVERS, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.
When the frosty window veil
Was melted down at noon,
And the cagèd yellow bird
Hung over her in tune,
He marked her through the pane,
He could not help but mark,
And only passed her by,
To come again at dark.
He was a winter wind,
Concerned with ice and snow,
Dead weeds and unmated birds,
And little of love could know.
But he sighed upon the sill,
He gave the sash a shake,
As witness all within
Who lay that night awake.
Perchance he half prevailed
To win her for the flight
From the firelit looking-glass
And warm stove-window light.
But the flower leaned aside
And thought of naught to say,
And morning found the breeze
A hundred miles away.

Men are more easily broken than myths.
Emperor Cynead has usurped command of the Memoridons—Tower-controlled memory witches—and consolidated his reign over the Syldoonian Empire. After escaping the capital city of Sunwrack, Captain Braylar Killcoin and his Jackal company evade pursuit across Urglovia, tasked with reaching deposed emperor Thumaar and helping him recapture the throne.
Braylar's sister, Soffjian, rejoins the Jackals and reveals that Commander Darzaak promised her freedom if she agreed to aid them in breaking Cynead's grip on the other Memoridons and ousting him.
Imperial forces attempt to intercept Braylar's company before they can reach Thumaar. The Jackals fight through Cynead's battalions but find themselves trapped along the Godveil. Outmaneuvered and outnumbered, Braylar gambles on some obscure passages that Arki has translated and uses his cursed flail, Bloodsounder, to part the Godveil, leading the Jackals to the other side.
There, they encounter the ruins of human civilization, but they also learn that the Deserters who abandoned humanity a millennium ago and created the Veil in their wake are still very much alive. But are they gods? Demons? Monsters?
What Braylar, Soffjian, Arki, and the Jackals discover beyond the Godveil will shake an empire, reshape a map, and irrevocably alter the course of history.

The Newport String Project is led by directors and violinists EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks and Ealain McMullin. They are joined by Associate Musicians, Ashley Frith (viola) and Jaime Feldman (cello). Together they perform and teach as the resident string quartet of the Newport String Project.
EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks, Director and Violinist
EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks grew up on an organic farm where as a young girl she presented her first violin performances to a very attentive audience—her flock of merino sheep. As that violin grew from quarter- to a full-size, EmmaLee, with that expressive instrument in hand, made her way onto the stage as soloist with symphonies and then on to Carnegie Hall as a member of the Pangea String Quartet. Armed with a performance degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a doctoral degree from SUNY Stony Brook, EmmaLee serves as principal second violinist of the New Bedford Symphony and as a busy chamber player, on stage in venues on the East Coast, as well as the Midwest. She is on faculty at the University of Massachussetts, Dartmouth and the Birch Creek Summer Performance Center.
A firm believer that music can move people, quite literally, EmmaLee takes the lead in string bands across New England and in the Midwest where her lively fiddle music drives the spirited old-time dancing. She has played fiddle with the Rusty Pickup String Band since she was ten years old and she has taken many a championship prize at fiddle competitions.
Ealain McMullin, Director/Violinist
Ealaín was first introduced to chamber music though concerts given by the Apple Hill Chamber Players near her home in Donegal, Ireland. This led to many happy summers studying at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music in New Hampshire and since 2014, Ealaín has served on the faculty at Apple Hill's summer festival. She studied at the Boston Conservatory, where she was a member of the Bricolage String Quartet, the Conservatory's honors ensemble. She has performed with members of the Apple Hill, Brooklyn Rider, Lydian and Miro String Quartets and has performed at the West Cork Chamber Music Festival (Ireland) and Music From Salem (New York). A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin and the Boston Conservatory, Ealaín's teachers have included Michael D'Arcy, Elise Kuder, Mike Kelley and Lenny Matczynski.
Ashley Frith, Associate Musician/Violist
Violist Ashley Frith is currently a fellow with Community MusicWorks in Providence, RI. Recently enrolled in a masters program at The Boston Conservatory, she was a student of Lila Brown. At the University of South Florida, Ashley studied viola with Kathie Aagaard, and chamber music with Scott Kluksdahl and Svetozar Ivanov. She has served as a teaching artist with the Greater Miami Youth Symphony, and with El Sistema Somerville and Revolution of Hope in Boston. For the past few years, Ashley has been studying the use of sound as a healing modality, in combination with mindfulness and nutrition, and the effect these tools can have on mental health.
Jaime Feldman, Associate Musician/Cellist
Jaime Feldman is a passionate chamber musician and music educator, who enjoys a career of performing and teaching along the East Coast. Jaime has performed worldwide as a soloist and in ensembles at festivals including the Zodiac Festival, The Monte Music Festival, The Perlman Music Program, California Summer Music, and Music@Menlo. She has taught at Soundscapes Chamber Music Workshop in Connecticut, and at MYCO Chamber Music Workshop in Chapel Hill, NC. She has given numerous concerts in France, India, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and all across the United States.
A native of Sarasota, Florida, she began cello lessons at age four. Jaime fell in love with chamber music as a twelve year old student at Music@Menlo festival in Palo Alto CA, captivated by a performance of the Emerson String quartet.
Jaime graduated from Oberlin Conservatory of Music, as a student of Amir Eldan. Some of her previous teachers include Natasha Brofsky at New England Conservatory, Irene Sharp of Stanford University and the Mannes School of Music, and Jean Michel Fonteneau at the San Francisco Conservatory. Winning First Place in the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra Concerto Competition in Santa Rosa California, Jaime performed the Lalo Concerto at age thirteen with SRSYO at the Jackson Center, in Santa Rosa. She has been in master classes with Colin Carr, Ronald Leonard, and Paul Katz. Jaime has had extensive chamber music experience working at various festivals and institutions with members of the Emerson, Saint Lawrence, Miami, Cavanni, Juilliard, Borromeo, and Takács string quartets. While attending the Perlman Music Program, Jaime had the honor of sight-reading chamber music with Itzhak Perlman, and performed in a chamber orchestra led by Perlman.
In 2014 Jaime spent a month in Goa, India on a grant from Oberlin Conservatory to teach cello at the Hamara School and Orphanage, as a volunteer for Child's Play foundation. The trip left her feeling inspired to start teaching in her community, with the purpose of helping to shape children's lives. Jaime believes that musical education at its best is about the inspiration children receive from their early musical experiences. She is eager to create more opportunities for young children to be exposed to high quality classical concerts in their community. In her free time she enjoys running on trails, hiking in the Maine woods during summer, picking wild flowers, trying new cheeses, meeting new cats and dogs when she goes out, and exploring other countries.

Guest Blogger – Ofelia Alvarado, Advocacy Director, American Lung Association in California, San Diego
For two years (2008-2010), the American Lung Association in California staff worked intensely on outreach and education, providing trainings and a forum for National City community members and elected officials on drifting secondhand smoke in multi-unit housing. However, it was difficult for community members to be actively involved because of family obligations and lack of time. A few made public comments, but the idea of smokefree housing was a new frontier, and public officials' reaction was cautionary.
We made a presentation at a neighborhood meeting which the Mayor attended. The clamor by attendees to do something obligated the Mayor to form the Smokefree Housing Taskforce in January 2010. It met sporadically for 2 years but unfortunately, without continued community pressure, the issue waned and action was stalled by the taskforce.
In 2009, youth advocates from the local high school led the effort to successfully pass a smokefree outdoor dining ordinance in National City. Could this same strategy work to have the taskforce reconvene?
During the school year, the president of both the junior and senior class sit with the city council at their meetings, and the council liked to give youth some leadership opportunities. It seemed worth the try, so Lung Association staff decided to change direction in securing community involvement. We began to recruit youth interested in taking up the challenge to have the taskforce reconvene and finish the work of crafting an ordinance. We worked with Operation Samahan, a local youth organization, and a teacher at the Sweetwater High School in National City. Students were invited to attend a Smokefree Housing Initiative presentation and Youth Advocacy training, where four youth committed to the cause. The high school provided a meeting room for weekly strategy discussions about visiting city council members and the Mayor, writing letters, and making public comment.
I think what made a difference was that two of the youth were already leaders in the community. One was the president of the junior class and well known to the council members and mayor. The other was the coordinator of the youth group facilitated at Operation Samahan youth center and known by one of the council members who regularly attended their meetings. Additionally, the youth were well trained on the issue and on advocacy work and could articulate confidently.
After just two months, the youth advocacy work culminated at a city council meeting with public comments. The students spoke eloquently about the health effects of secondhand smoke, impact on children and elders, exacerbation of asthma and other respiratory problems, and their personal awareness of the need to protect residents. Most importantly, they made a plea to reconvene the taskforce, which sparked discussion among the council and led to one member volunteering to take up the task of moving the ordinance forward! Youth advocates were acknowledged along the way for their efforts and celebrated their success with a pizza party.
I was impressed by their dedication and commitment to make a difference in their community. They showed bravery in the face of uncertainty and spoke up for what they knew was right. This could not have been done without them.

Thirteen specimens of a poorly known platycephalid fish, Onigocia grandisquama (Regan, 1908), were collected from Queensland, eastern Australia. This species can be easily separated from its congeners by having 11–12 (usually 11) anal fin rays, large head (41.1–45.3% SL), ocular flap present, iris lappet short and with multiple branches dorsally, 1–2 preocular spines, and interopercular flap absent. These specimens are the first records of the species from Australia and only the second record from the western Pacific.

OMG! Where has the time gone. It seems like only yesterday that I was writing about going on a cruise. The cruise was awesome! Eric and I meet up with our long time friends in New York City and enjoyed the sites for 4 wonderful days before setting sail. Never having been in New York, I had to do the tourist things like going to the top of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and maneuvering the subway system. I was quite impressed with the subway. It really is an awesome way to travel.
The people of New York get a bad wrap. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I had heard some stories about how unfriendly New Yorkers are. Well I for one give them a round of applause. They were helpful, kind and eager to help. I could go on and on about my trip and will make a point of sharing my experience at the Chef's Table but I would like to save that for another time.
Thanksgiving has past and Christmas is fast upon us. When the granddaughters were here over the Thanksgiving Holiday it was all about the holiday to come. We made ornaments, an Advent Calendar, decorated a tree and went to the North Pole. Those 2 can really sap ones energy! But what a wonderful time together.
They went home on Sunday after church and I spent Monday recovering. What better way to recover than to bake. I found a wonderful new cookbook the other day at Costco. I have tried several recipes from the book like Light and Fluffy Biscuits and Skillet Cornbread. What has that to do with the season? Not much other than some great cooking in the near future.
I really like the book for many reasons. One the recipes have been tried and tested in America's Test Kitchen. Second, not only does it give measurements using their flour blend but it also provides measurements and expected results using King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free Multi Purpose Flour Blend. Third, it goes into why this recipe works. If you would like to read all about it the book can be purchased from Costco for $16.99 or on-line at Amazon and America's Test Kitchen. For now I'll just share the recipe for the muffins.
This is the perfect time of the year for enjoying cranberry muffins with a hint or orange zest.
Cranberry Orange Pecan Muffins
- 8 ounces (2 cups) cranberries
- 5 1/4 ounces (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 2 T. grated orange zest
- 11 ounces (2 cups) King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour Blend
- 1 tablespoon gluten free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup Greek Nonfat plain yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- King Arthur Flour Sparkling Sugar
Add the cranberries to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add the sugar, pecans and orange zest to the food processor bowl and pulse to a coarse sand texture. Add in the flour blend, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum. Pulse until well combined, 5 to 10 pulses.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, yogurt and eggs together until well combined. Add to food processor and process until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. Transfer mixture to the now empty bowl and fold in chopped cranberries. Please note, the batter will be thick and stiff. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Position oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with a gluten free non-stick cooking spray. Using a large scoop, divide the batter into 12 equal portions in the muffin tin. Sprinkle lightly with Sparkling Sugar. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate tins and continue to bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until muffins are firm to the touch and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and allow muffins to rest in tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove muffins from tins and allow to cool completely on wire rack. Muffins can be wrapped in plastic wrap, bagged in a ziplock bag and frozen for later use. To serve, remove plastic wrap and microwave muffin for 20 to 30 seconds and then warm in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Now that's a muffin! Some of my changes included using walnuts in lieu of pecans and sparking sugar for the turbinado sugar called for in the recipe. I also increased the amount of orange zest called for. Enjoy!

Age discrimination protections can be waived
Contact An Experienced Employment And Labor Law Lawyer Today 800-652-0408
When Floridians think of workplace discrimination, they often think of the more obvious forms. These include discrimination based on gender, race, and religion. It is important to know, however, that there are other types of discrimination that can be just as damaging to an individual, but may be more secretive and harder to spot. One of the most common amongst this type of discrimination is that which is based on age.
Age discrimination itself can take many forms. An employer who uses age against an individual throughout any part of the employment process has broken the law. This includes deciding whether to hire or not hire someone, terminate, or promote based on an individual's age. However, protections against age discrimination don't stop there. Employers are also prohibited from basing compensation, discipline, and work evaluations on an employee's age. It is also illegal to force workers to take early retirement or use age as a determinative factor when down-sizing.
Though federal law protects workers from these types of age discrimination, it is worth noting that it is possible to waive those protections. If a contract is entered into and it specifically addresses claims made under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and provides an employee with 21 days in which to consider the agreement, then the protections can be legally waived, thus allowing age to play a factor in all employment decisions regarding that employee. Typically in these situation, an employee will waive his or her rights in exchange for a severance package.
Workplace discrimination should not be tolerated, but far too often it is. Those who suffer adverse employment decisions based on their age, race, religion, or gender should carefully consider their legal options. By filing a legal claim, they may be able to right a wrong and secure compensation for their damages.

Mid-December I felt like this,
But after a minor health crisis that thankfully turned out to be not as bad as my paranoid brain had thought, trying to convince anyone who would listen that I was indeed dying right before their eyes, I reconsidered the dreaded New Year Resolution.
Truth be told, I'm not very good at keeping them. I kicked cigarettes cold turkey twelve years ago, but that's the only one I can recall as having any inkling of success. Last year I resolved to drink more, and although the desire was there, I couldn't even manage that.
Now it seems this baby weight (hey, I don't care how old they are, I can still use it as long as they're not with me) needs to go, so I'm jumping in with both feet and getting healthy. Please tell me I'm not alone. I've talked people down from a bag of Hershey's Kisses before (myself included) and I'd love the company.
I'm also planning on writing and submitting more this year and reading at least fifty books, but things you enjoy, the easy things, aren't really resolutions now are they?
So tell me, do you have one resolution you plan to

Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Action Plan 2017-18
Pupil Premium Funding 2016-17
The government has set up Pupil Premium funding, which is additional to main school funding, to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals and their peers. This funding ensures that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. The pupil premium funding is provided in order to support these pupils in reaching their potential.
The pupil premium is allocated to children from low-income families who have been eligible for free school meals.
Overview of the school
Total number of pupils on roll: 209
Total number of pupil premium/pupil premium plus/LAC:
11 pupil premium per child @ £1,320 = £14,520
2 Pupil premium plus per child@ £1,900 = £3,800
1.5 LAC child: £2,100
Total amount of pupil premium funding received: £20,420
This financial year we will be spending our pupil premium £20,420
- Additional teaching assistant time
- Intervention teacher
- Specialist literacy and numeracy resources including IPADS
- Lexia and Mathletics ICT packages to aid learning
- Support for educational visits, after school clubs and uniform
We think that by spending the pupil premium money in this way we are supporting our most disadvantaged pupils in a broad variety of ways. Not only does it have a positive impact on enhancing their educational experiences and help them to progress within lessons but also develops their self-esteem, confidence and aspirations.
We track all pupil premium children extremely carefully through the school in terms of their academic attainment but also monitor their social and emotional needs too. Regular Head Teacher 'Pupil Progress' meetings, 'Additional Needs' staff meetings enable us to discuss individual children in detail.
The impact of the funding has been very positive. Our recent performance figures for pupil premium children show that they compare favourably with national average children.

A new generation of youngsters are about to enter the workplace, and they're significantly more tech-savvy than the previous bunch that we know of as the Millennials, says a study.
So much so that iGen, or Gen Z, as the new breed are called, actually equate happiness and self-esteem with access to social media, the researcher says.
Among the needs of this new generation is sensitivity from marketers to privacy.
iGen is well aware of online privacy issues and is concerned about banking and online dating security, thinks the Center for Generational Kinetics, which produced the survey.
The 1,000-person study was performed in October, 2015 and was made up of respondents 14-69. An additional 250 people aged 14-17 were also included.
In fact, if the survey is anything to go by, traditional banks are in trouble. This generation is more concerned (63%) with privacy and security from classic payment methods, such as bank cards, than with app-based digital wallets (54%) like Venmo.
Who are they?
iGen, sometimes called Gen Z, were born in 1996 or later. That makes the oldest of them 20 years old and ready to work.
"They are the newest entrants to the workplace and will soon become the fastest growing group of employees and customers," says the researcher.
Consequently, it may not be a bad idea to get to grips with what this emerging crowd thinks—particularly since we're the ones supplying media and technology, for now that is, until they take over.
Social network needs
Close to half (42%) think that social media "has a direct impact on how they feel about themselves." That's twice the number of Baby Boomers (20%) who think that.
And not only does it impact how they feel, but 37% of the iGens say "social media has a direct impact on their happiness," writes the study.
About the same number (39%) said it has an effect on their self-esteem.
Social network brands
They're picky. Notably, certain social network brands were off-the-radar for iGen.
A majority (62%) had never heard of Periscope, for example. And 34% hadn't heard of LinkedIn.
Their favorites: Vine (54%) and Instagram (52%), according to the study.
The group "iGen presents a fast growing challenge to brands, marketers, and sales professionals, as well as employers, managers, educators, and their own parents, who are Generation X and Millennials," says the Center's website.
"In fact, iGen thinks Millennials are old," it adds.
Get ready for changing interview habits, by the way.
Amazingly (for an aging Gen X'er such as myself) iGen members are twice as likely to think it's appropriate to talk on their mobile phone during a job interview as older generations, the researcher says it has found.
As one might expect, the almost-upon-us demographic has embraced the sharing economy. Most (85%) trust shared service companies like Uber.
However, they also want to see safeguards in place, the report says.
At 63%, this group "is nearly twice as likely as any other generation" to want to see liability insurance and background checks in place, the survey says.

Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
This gorgeous 3 bedroom house on the Atlantic Ocean has just been completed and added to our rental group December 2009. Take a walk on the beach that is directly in front of the house, look for shells, and relax.
Paradox is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a 200 sq ft covered porch overlooking the ocean. The master bedroom has a king bed and attached bath. Additional bedrooms offer a king bed and a queen bed with luxury linens. The great room has a queen sofa sleeper with an Airdream inflatable mattress, 42" plasma TV, satellite, DVD/CD player, and surround sound system with an iPod dock.
Washer and dryer are located on the main floor next to the kitchen with a gas stove, stainless appliances, and granite counter tops. The dining room table can be expanded to accommodate 8 with additional seating for 4 at the bar.
The ground floor has covered parking for your golf cart. After your walk on the beach, use the foot wash to leave the sand on the beach before going upstairs to relax on the porch. The beach in front of the house is protected by a coral reef and the water is filled with tropical fish and lobster, perfect for snorkeling.
Fly into Treasure Cay and catch the 10 minute ferry to the historic town of New Plymouth. The house is only 10 minutes away by golf cart, but a world away from your hectic life at home.
Paradox is located only 3 minutes from the Green Turtle Club,Brendal's Dive Centre and the GT Club Marina.
This house is amazing. It's right on the beach, and has a giant porch facing the water. Master bedroom has a window facing the ocean, where the sun rises. Only two slight issues - it's about 15 minute golf cart ride from town, which is great if you want to get away from it all, but inconvenient when you only have a golf cart to transport groceries back to the house. And secondly - there was an infestation of no-see-ums because the house is so close to the water and there wasn't much wind. So just be prepared with "Off" and bug bite soothing treatment of some kind, and you will have an excellent time.

First time Mom, one kid, udder troublegreenspun.com : LUSENET : Dairygoats : One Thread
My Saanen Twinkle kidded on Thursday with one single doeling. It's my first kid, and her's too. We need advice.
The kid was only nursing on one side of her udder, and I discovered this on Saturday. I milked out as much as I could from the unused side, but there wasn't as much as I thought there would be. I also taught the baby to drink from both sides. The mother didn't tolerate this very well as she was sore, but I held her collar and her back foot so she couldn't run away and couldn't kick the kid away either. She stood, and baby drank. Now I think it's less sore for her.
Last night I let the kid drink, then I put her on the milk stand for the first time. She let me milk as long as there was grain, but her teats are tiny compared to my Alpine milker, and there was not much milk.
Questions, Should I be milking her twice a day now? Her kid is 3 days old. Will her milk increase? Her udder feels hard, is that because there is milk that won't come down, or because she doesn't have much milk in there to start with? I rubbed her udder and kept trying to milk her, but it's not easy as her teats are small. Will the teats get bigger? Will her udder get bigger and softer as more milk is produced in there, like, does it stretch from this point?
I think this little baby might have come a bit early, but she seems healthy and strong. I wasn't expecting her until March, but I've only had this doe for a couple of months and the lady I bought her from must have been wrong on the dates. Her buck jumped the fence, so he may have done that more than once.
This is my first time starting a doe on her milking career, and I'm not sure what I'm looking for. All advice is appreciated.
-- Bobbi (email@example.com), January 20, 2002
First question is regarding the hard udder, is she negative for CAE? Either way, massage, moist warm towels, vicks vapor rub, and very frequent milking will help to relieve the soreness and the hardness.
Milk her two or three times a day. The teats will get larger very quickly and the nursing from the doeling will help that to happen even more quickly. It is hard to get a handle on those teeny weeny teats! And yes, it will soften and enlarge some more.
As long as the baby seems to be thriving, since you already have her nursing, I would continue to let her nurse as she desires for the first week, still putting her on the milk stand and getting what you can two or three times per day, then I'd pen the kid at night and milk the doe out in the morning. Hope some of that helps!!
-- Doreen (email@example.com), January 20, 2002.
I have also, sometimes, on those difficult first days, put the doe on the milkstand, and held the kid up there to nurse. Easier than trying to hold her still on the ground. I'm betting the udder will get better with time and patience(and those warm cloths). Sometimes the teats get bigger, and sometimes, I'm afraid, they don't. Hopefully, they will for you.
-- mary (email@example.com), January 20, 2002.
Thank you for the advice. I put her on the milk stand and massaged her udder with warm wet towels. I milked her, though I'm sure it hurt a lot because she was about climbing the walls. The teats are already bigger than they were the first time, but she's way engorged. I milked her until no more milk would come, then rubbed and rubbed more with the warm towels and milked some more. Poor thing, she was hurting. It was softer after the milking, there was a bit of slack. Is it possible the hardness of the udder is really just because it's a new udder that was not even there a week ago?
Now if I do this three times a day, and it doesn't get better in a few days, I'll call in a vet.
I don't know for sure about CAE. I did ask the lady I bought her from and she said she always takes the babies and feeds them pasturised milk, so I thought she would not have it. This is also what the man I got my other doe from said. He always takes the babies and bottle feeds them heated milk. So I figured both my does would be negative. Perhaps I was wrong, but I had read that this measure stops the spread of CAE. The does both went to the fair though, with 4H youth. They could have caught it there. What do you do about fairs? How do you keep it out of your herd?
Thank you again.
-- Bobbi (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 20, 2002.
Bobbie, her udder is hard and sore because she was absorbing the colostrum that the single baby didn't drink. Now you are milking her and trying to get the milk supply larger. From now on start milking her the first day, just emptying both sides once a day, every day until the single kid gives you no more to take. If you let a single kid nurse from day one, the udder becomes lopsided, he will increase the size of your does teats for you, and so will milking her, they also enlarge from maturing. You will be much happier with her milk production as she ages, and especially when she has more than one kid. I really think that its logical that the does body knows she had one kid, and though with milking early you can trick the doe into producing more, nothing like she would have produced had she had twins or triplets. Just make sure that her once a day trip to the milk stand is calm and enjoyable, this will make for an eaiser to milk doe for life. I like the does who nurse wethers for me to go to the milk stand at least once a day, so I can look at them, but also to get the extra grain they need. Don't forget to worm her! Vicki
-- Vicki McGaugh TX (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 20, 2002.
Regarding the nursing solely on one side, when my doe delivered a single kid last year, he only ever nursed on one side.
-- Lynn (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 21, 2002.
Most new kids have a favorite side and will nurse on it exclusively unless there is not enough milk there. I milk out my does with kids on them twice a day to maintain milk and a fairly even udder development.
-- diane (email@example.com), January 21, 2002.
You can milk the doe out entirely on the kid's favorite side, leaving some milk in the side the kid doesn't like ( but don't leave it full, just leave about a third of the milk in there.) Then bring the kid up on the stand to nurse- this will keep it friendly and socialized, the time to start taming it is before it gets afraid of you!- and let it try to nurse. Most kids will try and try to nurse on their favorite side, then they panic and decide there's a famine going on here and nurse on the other side! It works best if you get the doe before the kid wakes up, so that he's a little hungry.
-- Rebekah (email@example.com), January 21, 2002.
