The Story of the Jews
The Story of the Jews is a five-part, five-hour public television series written and presented by historian and critic Simon Schama. Drawing on Schama's immense scholarship, his acute and original viewpoints, and his own family history, he offers a series that is both deeply historical and bracingly contemporary. As Schama travels the globe, he tells ancient and modern stories that illuminate the passions and perplexities of today. This collection offers you access to classroom-ready videos and articles drawn from the series' broadcasts and website.
The Emergence of Monotheism
In this video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews, host Simon Schama travels to the Valley of Elah to visit the site of the biblical story of David and Goliath. He meets with archaeologist Yossi Garfinkel to discuss his theory that the famous battle between the shepherd and the giant reflects hundreds of years of conflict between the hill-dwelling Judeans and the coastal Philistines. Garfinkel takes Schama to the site of an Iron Age Judean fortress where he has discovered an altar and two ceremonial containers, or arks, which may be clues to the origins of Jewish monotheism.
Grades: 9-12
The Dead Sea Scrolls
In this video from The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama takes us to the caves of Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Schama explains that the Scrolls were comprised of 850 separate manuscripts, and included not only biblical texts but also other texts that reveal the religious diversity of the time. In the second part of the video, Schama visits the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem, where a team of specialists preserve, record, and publish these extraordinary ancient documents.
Grades: 9-12
The Cairo Genizah
In this video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama explores the singular medieval phenomenon known as the Cairo Genizah, a repository of some 300,000 ancient documents preserved in a hole in the wall in a synagogue in Cairo. From approximately 1000-1500 AD, the Jews of Cairo deposited a wide assortment of documents, from sacred to secular, ancient bible texts to shopping lists, unwittingly creating a time capsule that offers modern man an unprecedented look at medieval life not only for the Jews, but for their Muslim neighbors as well.
Grades: 9-12
The World's First Ghetto
In this video from The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama discusses the consequences of the Spanish Expulsion, including Jewish immigration to the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice. Both the video and background essay describe the origins of the word "ghetto," the name of the walled district established in 1516 to house the Jewish population of Venice.
Grades: 9-12
Moses Mendelssohn, a Jewish Link to Germany
In this video from The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama takes us to Berlin, Germany, where the young Talmudic scholar Moses Mendelssohn arrived in 1743 at the tender age of 14. At the time, Berlin was still quite antisemitic, but Mendelssohn forged an unlikely friendship with several early Enlightenment philosophers. He quickly learned English, German, Greek, and Latin, and became well-respected for his philosophical writings in German. One of his best-known accomplishments is the translation of sections of the Torah from Hebrew into German – the first time this had been accomplished by a Jew.
Grades: 9-12
Felix Mendelssohn and the Struggle for Identity
In this video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews, Felix Mendelssohn's emergence as a major composer is placed in the framework of the era of Romantic Nationalism that launched the 19th century in Europe. During this period following the French revolution, ghetto walls were torn down and Jews were expected to forgo their Jewish identity in exchange for the privileges of full European citizenship. Many European Jews, including Moses Mendelssohn's son Abraham and his family, converted to Christianity during this time.
Grades: 9-12
The Rise of Chasidism
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews examines the circumstances under which the Jews of 18th century Russia embraced a new form of observance known as Chasidism. Living under the constant threat of brutal persecution, this ecstatic and joyful expression of Judaism was a welcome alternative to hopelessness. Informed by mystical texts, like the Kabbalah, that revealed profound truths about God and the universe, and an observance characterized by song and dance, life became a spiritual journey. Leaders were believed to have godlike powers, surrounded by tales of wonder, healing and resurrection.
Grades: 9-12
Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? and The Forgotten Man
This enhanced video resource takes a look at the Great Depression, focusing on Yip Harburg's song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" and President Roosevelt's famous "Forgotten Man" speech. The video segment provides background and context for the song, while the background essay examines specific elements of Roosevelt's speech, focusing on his consistent allusion to and use of war metaphors. Ultimately, the resource helps connect the song to the speech, demonstrating the negative sentiment to President Hoover and the United States' need for change following the devastation of the Great Depression.
Grades: 9-12
Zionism and the Balfour Declaration
This enhanced video resource for The Story of the Jews provides a look at the people and negotiations behind the Balfour Declaration and explains what was promised to Jews in this famous letter. The resource also explores Zionism and examines a text called "Auto-Emancipation," which argued for the necessity of a Jewish nation. The discussion questions and optional student activities ask students to summarize and analyze primary sources and historical events for context and meaning.
Grades: 9-12
The Partition of Israel and Palestine
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews explores the factors that led to the creation of the independent state of Israel. The segment describes the United Nations' involvement in the partition of Palestine and Israel's eventual declaration of independence, and the conflicts that followed. The video also explores the Palestinian perspective on the aftermath of the conflict and establishment of a Jewish state.
Grades: 9-12

Grades: 9-12
Shtetl Life
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews explores Jewish life under Russian rule at the turn of the 20th Century by analyzing photographs of shtetl life taken by a group of Jewish ethnographers. When Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom came under Russian rule, they were expelled to the Pale of Settlement that stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. These photographs revealed the diverse occupations of the Jews and the ways in which shtetl life preserved a sense of community even for a community in exile.
Grades: 9-13+
Holocaust in Plunge
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews examines the effects of the brutal occupation of Lithuania by Nazi Germany in 1941 through the lens of a survivor and the last Jew in the town of Plunge, Jakovas Bunka. Bunka was conscripted into the Russian Red Army, but when he returned to Plunge after the war, his family was among the 96% of the town's population massacred by the Nazis. Today, he carves wood figurines depicting shtetl residents as a memorial to the Holocaust.
Grades: 9-13+
The Mishnah and the Talmud
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews examines the evolution of the Mishnah and Talmud and how they became the foundation of the rebuilding of Jewish life in exile by addressing the dilemma of how to stay Jewish in a non-Jewish world. When the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, it was replaced by an equally vast edifice of words called the Mishnah. The Mishnah is a written record of the Oral Laws categorized by subjects. Over the course of four centuries, the Mishnah expanded into the Talmud that recorded the many interpretations of the Mishnah text by hundreds of Rabbis.
Grades: 9-13+
The Kennicott Bible
In this video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews, students will learn about a famously beautiful Medieval Jewish text called the Kennicott Bible. Completed in 1476 in La Coruna, Spain, this religious work of art vibrantly weaves Jewish, Christian and Muslim imagery onto its pages—offering a unique and exquisite version of the Hebrew Bible.
Grades: 9-12
Little Hugh
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews offers an overview of Medieval Britain and how the powers that be—the King and the Catholic Church—treated the Jewish population in the city of Lincoln. Aaron of Lincoln, a powerful moneylender and one of the city's Jewish residents, financed the building of cathedrals and palaces in Lincoln and beyond. Unfortunately for Jewish residents like Aaron, power made them vulnerable to Britain's anti-Jewish elite, as host Simon Schama describes through the story of "Little Hugh."
Grades: 9-12
The Dreyfus Affair
This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews examines the Dreyfus Affair—a trial that began in 1894 that shook the French population and had a lasting impact on Theodor Herzl, an influential Zionist leader. Alfred Dreyfus, a Captain in the French Army, was accused and convicted of sending military secrets to the Germans. As a Jewish officer, he became a convenient scapegoat for a crime another had committed. This event exposed the growing antisemitism in 19th-century France.
Grades: 9-12
In this video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews, host Simon Schama discusses the influence of Hellenism on Jewish culture. The clip begins with the conquests of Alexander the Great, and moves on to the Tobiads, a family of Hellenized Jews living during the second century BCE. Schama highlights the fundamental differences between Greek and Jewish culture and argues that although Hellenism was a powerful force in the ancient world, it did not change the core of Jewish thought and identity.
Grades: 9-12
Jews in the Islamic World
In this video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews, host Simon Schama discusses conditions for Jews living in Islamic lands during the Middle Ages. Schama points out that although Jewish communities in Muslim territories experienced a form of second class citizenship, they experienced a level of freedom, prosperity and acceptance not common in Medieval Christian Europe.

And Kosmor is designed for endless games or rather Maelstroem is trying to keep the game running endlessly, and i think, Kosmor is better then most games because of this. Most games you build up your planet etc and get attacked. Then, when you getting better/really good its restarting... It not even gives you a fair chance, because player which played more rounds do no better how to start and have a great fleet before you can build a ship. In Kosmor you can reach at least hypothetically the same strenght, and there are some examples for players who got better although they started later, i think Krondor and primarily Ayatollah (he started still later than Krondor) are the most famous examples from german Kosmor for this. So, in my opinion Kosmor should not be reseted. Only if the game is totally stuck or runs ~5 years or so it could be a possibility.

However, endless games are not as static or fixed in power distribution as one might think: players come and go, and big houses are vulnerable to domestic turmoil the bigger they get. A second Kosmor component - at least in the German version - are the tournaments, played over a day or some hours with ticks every ten minutes or so - that's very cool and makes a lot of fun. In general I would argue that a third Kosmor component right in the middle between the endless game and tournaments might also be very interesting, and then we would probably talk about a game running maybe exactly a year with maybe two ticks a day...

(PRWEB) May 06, 2014
A "riff" is the catchy part of a song that sticks in your head. One of the most recognizable guitar riffs of all time is "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple.
"This is a great example of how the blues influenced rock and roll and is really prevalent all over even into pop music now days, but especially in classic rock," says MacLennan. Jon says that there are three chords that you have to learn for the rhythm part of this song which are: D7 that consists of 7th fret of the 5th string with 3rd finger, 4th fret of the 4th string with 2nd finger, 5th fret of the 3rd string with 3rd finger and 3rd fret of the 2nd string with first finger. A G7 played as a bar chord by baring your first finger across all strings at the 3rd fret, 5th fret of the 5th string with 3rd finger and 4th fret of the 3rd string with 2nd finger and A7 which consists of the same shape as G7 except moved up one whole step to the 5th fret. This chord progression is performed in the 12 bar progression used in many blues songs. Jon continues this lesson by performing the song so you can easily follow along with him. Guitar TAB's are available at BluesGuitar.com.
George Harrison was an English musician, singer and song writer from Liverpool England. George is most known for being a founding member of The Beatles. After The Beatles disbanded in 1970 Harrison launched a solo career that yielded 12 studio albums and numerous guest appearances for other artists. Harrison passed away in 2001 at the age of 58 from lung cancer.
Jon MacLennan

Jon has done session work for Julian Lennon, Steven Tyler, and British pop star Jamie Cullum.

MacLennan earned a bachelor's in ethnomusicology and jazz guitar studies from University of California, Los Angeles, and has been mentored by Carl Verheyen, Wolf Marshall, Kenny Burrell, Anthony Wilson, Tamir Hendelmen, Jimmy Wyble and Ron Anthony which has made him a highly sought after guitar instructor today.

Top 100 Agencies: Purohit Navigation
Personalized medicine was the direction that Purohit Navigation president and CEO Ahnal Purohit, PhD, saw the industry going about six years ago—which is when she began bolstering the agency's specialized product and diagnostic expertise. Her foresight is paying off, as the agency continues on its steady, stable course of 10% to 15% annual growth.
"Our strategic thinking is really being recognized," Purohit says. "Given where all of healthcare is going, strategic thinking will continue to be very important."
The agency is increasingly winning strategic work with assignments involving both pure strategic consulting and strategy work combined with market research and digital. Janssen was among new clients that hired Purohit Navigation last year to help with pre-clinical strategy work for a new technology. The agency also won strategic and creative project work from Capital Education; strategic market research from Cutanea Life Sciences; and AOR status for PBN Pharma's NapiNol, an OTC diaper dermatitis ointment that doubles as a nipple balm for nursing mothers.
Purohit notes opportunity to engage in strategic portfolio work before promotional work even begins is increasing because many companies are facing increasing need to maximize and optimize their pipelines. The Janssen win is a good example.
Other 2012 wins included market research project work for Formedic, and project work for Agilent Technologies' services and support division. Eloquest Healthcare, a long-time client for which the agency has done market research, strategy, digital and creative work, awarded launch work on ReliaFit (catheter).
Internal changes at Ipsen claimed AOR work on Increlex (for growth failure in children) a few years ago, but project work on the drug was assigned last year.
Given the shift to specialty medicine, the agency really isn't doing much pure advertisement work any more. "When your audience is a few thousand patients and 300 to 1,000 doctors, you don't do DTC or primary care campaigns," Purohit says.
Work in digital channels is ever increasing, and Purohit says it's key to determine which tool is best for specific HCPs and to figure out how to best marry print and digital when appropriate. "We're getting more balanced in terms of what we're doing for our accounts, and that's a good thing," she adds.
Staff size held steady at about 45. Purohit Navigation's senior bench is one of the most stable in the business, with no senior management changes last year.
Ongoing industry trends that Purohit sees include uncertainty around Obamacare, continued crossover among pharma and generic companies, and the increasing number of personalized medicines in pipelines."Some mega products will come out in a few years—and it will be good for the industry if a few more mega products are introduced," she says. "Personalized medicine clients need agencies like ours that specialize and sub-specialize in therapeutic categories and have real strength in science and strategy."

In November of 2010, between our visits to Pequot Lakes and Pine River, we spent a week in Wadena, Minnesota and had a blast.
We had time to share with a couple of small group gatherings of people from the Wadena Evangelical Church. We played some Farkel (Farkle?) at Jack and Grace Trosen's house. Jack took us on a tour of the town to show us all that was rebuilt since the horrific tornadoes hit the area last year.
A lot of our time was spent with the Ellingson family.
Our visit is chronicled in the photo story below.
|Baby and current pictures of each of the 8 kids
|"Art Class" with Bryan
|Emily just being cute.
|Gathering Eggs from the laying hens
|"hammin it up"
|Impromptu worship music jam session
|Butchering a Chicken 101 with Professor Ellingson
Some favorite memories from our week:
1. Sitting at the dinner table each night and asking which cow we were eatting. "I think that is King George the 4th". He was delicious.
2. Watching a movie with the girls and during a particularly intense part Emily ran over and jumped on Bryan's lap, snuggled in tight, and said, "I come to you during the scary parts." Talk about a heart melting moment...
3. Witnessing first hand what the phrase "running around like a chicken with it's head cut off" really means.
4. Theological discussions with Lee over dessert and a tall glass of Trosen Farms Milk.
5. Impromptu Worship Jam Session that could have only been made better had Ryan been home to add some violin.
The Ellingsons truly are "a family away from home".
We take pride in being Big brother Bryan and Big sister Molly.

My best memory at Capsicum was definitely the High Tea. All the preparation, excitement and fundraising. I learnt how to plan large events and widened my research in different desserts and pastries.
Since completing my year on campus, I travelled to the USA to complete my industry work. I secured an internship at a store called Cake & Co. Meanwhile I sent an application to Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey. I never got a reply so I decided to go visit the factory. Luckily Buddy Valastro was there the day I visited (he is not often in the store). He asked me who I was and immediately took me around the factory and introduced me to everyone. He offered for me to come to a trial day. The next week Tuesday I went as was put to work making 6 000 rugelach with the team! Buddy came up to me and asked me directly to start the very next day!
I worked on four big cakes for the series Cake Boss, it was beyond exciting. I have made mixtures, rolled dough, boxed pastries and cakes, mixed filling cream for pastries, made cupcakes and cookies in the 1000s (up to 30 000) daily, and also perfected his famous "lobster tails"!
I accompanied him to Cape Town for the "Good Food and Wine Show" where he was the guest of honour and I was his assistant. Working in America in the decorating room at Carlo's Bake Shop is an absolute highlight of my internship. I was inspired to be a pastry chef by watching Cake Boss after school every day for two years. I followed my dream and managed to get the job of a lifetime, to work with my culinary hero. I love the fact that I can take a few simple ingredients and create a work of art and express creativity through food.
I would still like to travel the world and learn about different pastries of the world. Eventually I would like to open and run my own "special" bakery.

Personal Story
Marco DiCesarePrincipal Caroline Chisholm Catholic College, Braybrook.Marco was one of the first 25 Catholic school leaders to take up the CEOM Executive MBA that began last year.
I am passionate about education and about improving culture and systems in order to raise the bar and close the gap for each student.
As a leader I am consultative and inclusive with an ongoing commitment to faith and professionalism so, when I was offered the opportunity to take up the Executive MBA, I knew that taking time out from an already busy schedule was going to be an ask, but it has certainly proven to be time well spent.
The experience has already broadened my perspective and I have gained greater insight into strategy, organisational behaviour and leadership. Importantly, it has offered me an alternative view as a principal.
The fact that it has been undertaken with a group of fellow principals enhances the learning experience by allowing a tight focus on what is relevant to education and allows it to be tailored to our needs. It gives me an opportunity I wouldn't otherwise have – to meet with other principals on a regular and ongoing basis to share our unique experiences across all of the areas covered.
I benefit not only from what I am learning on the journey but also from the journey of others in Catholic education. This is especially important given the functional and increasingly strategic understanding we must demonstrate in our management and leadership of Catholic schools.
In a constantly evolving environment, it is important that we – Catholic educational leaders – continue to push the boundaries of our learning and support each other in striving for innovation and best practice for our sector.

Integrated Catholic Online Network
General Overview
As a statewide project, the Catholic Education Commission
of Victoria Ltd (CECV) Integrated Catholic Online Network (ICON) is underpinned
by the commitment, as educators in Catholic schools and diocesan offices, to
ensuring that every child and young person in Victorian Catholic schools has
access to the same educational opportunities and resources.
The project will build capacity across all Victorian
Catholic schools and diocesan offices to support and enable students, teachers,
school leaders and parents to work together to improve student learning.
the first time, every Catholic school in Victoria, regardless of size or
resources, will have equal access to a package of learning, teaching,
collaboration, administration, planning and reporting technologies.
Main Activities
The ICON team worked with specialist suppliers Synergetic
and Technology One to design, build and test eSIS, eHR and eFIN.
A group of school-based experts worked at the CEOM office
two days a week to provide input and advice on school policies and processes
during the design , build and testing of eSIS, eHR and eFIN. Their
participation was critical in designing eAdmin.
Four schools were selected to be part of the eAdmin pilot
and work commenced preparing these schools for the rollout of eAdmin.
The CECV ICON Working Group endorsed the adoption of a
single instance of Google Apps for Education (GAFE) managed by each school
through ICON, which will provide greater flexibility for schools and support
new communities of practice. The ICON Project Team commenced work on scoping
the technical requirements to support this approach.
With the input of the ICON Learning Expert Group (ILEG) –
an advisory group made up of school leaders, teachers and diocesan staff – an
eLearn Position Paper was developed, which identified the key strategies in
addition to GAFE and ePlan (see below) that will be needed to ensure that the
eLearn component of the ICON project can support and enhance the learning and
teaching cycle.
An agreement with the Brisbane Catholic Education Office (BCE) for the use
of their Business Intelligence Reporting (BIR) tool within ePlan was
progressed, as was functional and technical analysis to ensure that ePlan would
deliver high-quality student and school analytics to Victorian Catholic
schools. Future enhancements of the BIR will be jointly planned between the
CECV and BCE, leveraging the expertise residing in both systems. These
enhancements will be driven by school needs, which will be ascertained by a
team of school-based subject matter experts.
The ICON team worked with specialist supplier Infosys to
build the development, testing and Data migration environments for ICON.
Other Initiatives
A detailed schedule of communications activities
was developed and implemented to ensure schools and CEO staff are informed on
the progress of ICON.

Biased and unprofessional reports on German books, translation issues and life in Berlin
Sunday, 27 September 2015
Some Thank Yous
Before I even got to New York, I got a phone call to say that my accommodation with a friend of a friend had fallen through; a burst pipe and no water for the foreseeable. Within minutes, another translator had offered me her flat for the weekend – she needed a cat-sitter anyway. So many people said I was welcome to stay on their respective couches that I decided to see a few different parts of town, spending two nights each in Greenpoint, Kensington and Upper West Side (I think). And everyone looked after me beautifully. I had (half of) the most ridiculous ice cream sundae of my life, went up on a roof, drank sake in a basement establishment I'm sure I'd never find again, had pink iced tea, went to a Polish diner, bought Statue of Liberty biros, admired various views, got lots of advice, talked to strangers, gave away and was given lots and lots of books and generally had a very interesting time.
So this is to say thanks to the Goethe Institut New York and the German Book Office New York – and to all the translation people who calmed me down and made my stay in their city so full of love. You know who you are. For everyone else, here's a home-swapping website for translators. OK, not quite everybody else.

Connectivity-enhanced route selection and adaptive control for the Chevrolet Volt
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory and General Motors evaluated connectivity-enabled efficiency enhancements for the Chevrolet Volt. A high-level model was developed to predict vehicle fuel and electricity consumption based on driving characteristics and vehicle state inputs. These techniques were leveraged to optimize energy efficiency via green routing and intelligent control mode scheduling, which were evaluated using prospective driving routes between tens of thousands of real-world origin/destination pairs. The overall energy savings potential of green routing and intelligent mode scheduling was estimated at 5% and 3%, respectively. Furthermore, these represent substantial opportunities considering that they only require software adjustments to implement.

text: DigitalFarmVille 2: Country Escape Receives Lighthouse, Ancient Mariner UpdateZynga has announced a major content update for FarmVille 2: Country Escape on mobile devices, introducing players to what has apparently been the most requested feature since the game's introduction.By Brandy Shaul|August 19, 2015ShareBy Brandy Shaul|August 19, 2015ShareSocial and mobile game company Zynga has announced a major content update for FarmVille 2: Country Escape on mobile devices, introducing players to what has apparently been the most requested feature since the game's introduction in April 2014: access to the Lighthouse and the mysterious Ancient Mariner.Via this update, players level 23 and above can unlock early access to the Lighthouse feature with in-game currency. Upon unlocking it, players receive a series of quests and find a message in a bottle from the Ancient Mariner, who turns out to be their grandfather's estranged brother, who left the farm after the two had a falling out long ago.Players will need to five five letters in total to bring the Ancient Mariner back home to the farm, and can find these letters via a new treasure hunting feature at the lighthouse. There are a number of treasure hunting squares in the water surrounding the lighthouse, and players can spend nets to retrieve the treasure chest in each square. There are three different nets available (bronze, silver and gold), with better nets gathering better treasure, and gathering it faster.All three varieties of nets are available to purchase at the Lighthouse using stamps or Keys, the game's premium currency, while Bronze nets are also available for 250,000 coins each. Bronze nets take eight hours to retrieve treasure chests, while silver nets take an hour. Finally, gold nets take just five seconds to retrieve their chests. Players can only have three active nets in the water at once.Each treasure chest may contain a new letter for the Ancient Mariner storyline (until players have collected all five), as well as items like bonus coin bundles, copper buttons and materials like sea salt and canvases, among others.Once gamers have collected the necessary letters, they'll meet the Ancient Mariner himself, and will unlock a new timed order board at the Lighthouse. The order board asks players to complete special 'Cove Keepsake' crafting challenges by creating a variety of old and new items and selling them to the Mariner for experience points and coin rewards. If gamers can fulfill every order before time runs out, they'll receive extra experience points and a new form of currency: Sand Dollars.Sand Dollars can be spent in the Prize Tent on new Power Pins, which unlock timed boosts on players' farms. The first Power Pin, for instance, is the Make it Rain pin. Once activated, the player's water meter will remain full for three days, and when they water one thing, they automatically water everything on their farm. Other pins may guarantee players receive special prizes at the Pond or Mine, for instance, while the Ancient Mariner pin will unlock the character as a extra Farm Hand for the next three days.FarmVille 2: Country Escape is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store, Google Play and Amazon Appstore.Readers: What do you think of the Lighthouse update?

Stephen Twigg today warns Michael Gove's Ebacc plans risk "ushering in a decade of economic decline", taking Britain back to a '19th-century education system'.
Stephen Twigg will today warn Michael Gove's Ebacc reforms risk "ushering in a decade of economic decline", taking Britain back to a '19th-century education system'.
Addressing the North of England Education Conference, the shadow education secretary will say Gove's planned introduction of new exams in 2015 could:
"…wreak serious long term damage to our economy – by downgrading skills that have powered Britain, such as engineering, computing and construction, and neglecting the creative subjects."
He will warn the Ebacc Certificates risk creating a two tier system; those pupils who don't pass their EBCs will leave with a 'Statement of Achievement' which "risks becoming today's equivalent of getting a CSE" – employers and universities are likely to place little or no value on these statements, leaving young people more at risk of dropping out.
Twigg will say:
"We are already seeing some schools pushing their pupils with low attainment away from doing the EBacc subjects."
A recent DfE report on "The effects of the English Baccalaureate" (pdf) found this to be the case in nearly two thirds of schools:
"Where schools do not offer some pupils the opportunity to study towards the EBacc, this is typically because pupils with lower attainment are not offered the EBacc subjects; 63% of schools which do not allow all pupils to study towards the EBacc give this as a reason.
"This finding is consistent with the qualitative research: some schools explained that they targeted their most academically able pupils and encouraged them to study towards the EBacc, while less academic pupils were offered other pathways."
The shadow education secretary will also stress the importance of schools ensuring students are "life ready" when they leave education:
"Developing character and resilience must be one of the aims of a modern curriculum. It means having an exam system that assesses the skills necessary to thrive in the modern economy."
Mentioning the St Matthew Academy in Lewisham – which has a cadet force and is using ex-service personnel as mentors – Twigg will add:
"I was inspired by speaking to a 14-year-old girl, who talked about the fact that the mentor from the armed services had changed her life – giving her a sense of self discipline, rigour and helped get her back on the right track…
"There is a simple reason why some of the best private schools, and some of the best state schools too, focus on developing a young person's whole potential. It's because it prepares them for the future."

DETROIT (WWJ) – The charges just keep piling up for an Oakland County cancer doctor accused of healthcare fraud to the tune of $35 million.
A federal grand jury has handed down yet another charge against Dr. Farid Fata — who is accused of giving chemotherapy to patients who didn't need it — alleging that he lied on an application to become a United States citizen.
According to a second superseding indictment, Fata, a native of Lebanon, applied to become an American citizen in March 2008. One question on the application asked "Have you ever committed a crime or offense for which you were not arrested?" Dr. Fata checked the "No" box.
Click here to read the indictment (.pdf format)
The government said Fata was clearly lying, as he knew at the time he had committed crimes of Medicaid and healthcare fraud.
In Sept. 2008, Fata was interviewed by a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officer regarding his naturalization application. The indictment says Fata, under oath, again repeated his false answer.
The government says Fata lied yet again in March 2009 when he was asked the same question for a third time during a notice of naturalization oath ceremony. Farad was granted U.S. Citizenship in April 2009.
Prosecutors say 48-year-old Fata, whose facing a Feb. 4 trial, intentionally misdiagnosed patients and ordered unnecessary treatments to enrich himself through insurance programs. The government said Fata's scheme started around August 2007. Fata denies all wrongdoing.
Some of Fata's patients were allegedly exposed to powerful drugs over and over, despite having no cancer. In a first superseding indictment, prosecutors say Fata gave one of his patients 155 chemo treatments over two-and-a-half years — even though the patient was cancer-free. Other patients, they say, were pumped with unnecessary blood therapy and iron treatments.
Fata is charged with 17 counts of healthcare fraud, one count of conspiracy to pay and receive kickbacks, and one count of unlawful procurement of naturalization. He's looking at a lengthy prison sentence and possible deportation if convicted as charged.

I do get frustrated with brands and products that claim to contain Moroccan Argan Oil, when most of the time it's a low percentage that has very little positive impact on the hair. Although this range prides itself on that ingredient, to be honest it makes little or no difference to the result - it's simply a story to connect all the products together. However, the three products stand up well on their own to offer a great styling solution that provides hold without weight.
The Anti-Frizz Serum Spray is great as a finishing touch to hair, when you've just washed and styled it. Providing a hint of shine and protection to the surface of hair, it helps to create a smooth result and protect against the daily challenges that can see our barnets ruined by 11am. Although this isn't a wonder-product, it does provide an extremely lightweight finish that's perfect for fine hair or textured styles. The Flexible Hold Hairspray provides a great amount of hold to hair, without the dreaded 'crispy' feeling that's so often associated with hairspray; it's great at taming flyaways and delivers a delicate mist to the hair, rather than a hardcore power spray that provides more product than you need.
Finally, the Moisture Injection Dry Conditioner is effectively a dry shampoo with all the bad bits taken out. The formula is clear and lightweight, unlike traditional dry shampoos that are white and powdery; this ensures your 'second day style' feels as smooth as it did on the first day, without the dreaded white marks peppering your hair. It's great at reinvigorating hair and providing a moisture boost when hair starts to lose its 'oomph', particularly throughout the day when you need a top up. The great thing about this is that you can't really overload the hair either, unlike so many others that can make you look like you've been out in a snowstorm.
These products provide a pretty good result with a reasonable price tag attached, making them great additions to your product directory if you're just after fabulous 'second day' hair. Although they won't magically transform you to a post-hairdresser glow, they will aid styling and provide lightweight hold and style without the excess texture.
The Lee Stafford Argan Oil styling products are available from Boots priced around £9.99 each.

COMMENTING on the results of the Derbyshire County Council elections, George Cowcher, Chief Executive of the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce, is urging those in power to prioritise working on the right economic conditions to create jobs.
He said: "Businesses believe that creating the right economic conditions to encourage local job creation and growth should be high on the list of priorities for all Local Authorities following yesterday's election.
"With the UK economy still in recovery and the constant need to review spending, difficult decisions will still need to be made to reduce the deficit and rebalance the books.
"The issue is how this is dealt with locally and whether or not councillors make spending decisions which reflect what local people are looking for and what the economy needs. As such, each Local Authority must prioritise the needs of its residents and economy."
Mr Gowcher stressed the chamber will, on behalf of its members and the wider business community, seek to work constructively with the new leadership at Derbyshire County Council to ensure the voice of local business is both heard and carefully considered at all stages of the decision-making process.
Labour Party members took control of the former Conservative-led county council with a landslide victory winning 43 seats after votes were cast, on Thursday, May 2.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has made it clear that banks around the world must act to improve liquidity risk management strategies. But if they are to be effective, the improvements must be executed throughout an organization.
When it comes to managing new capital and liquidity standards, banks are under the gun. In December the Basel Committee released for comment a package of proposals designed to strengthen global capital and liquidity standards. The Basel Committee intends to issue formal liquidity risk guidelines by early 2011. This timetable hastens the need for banks to review and possibly reform their measurement and management of liquidity risk to assure regulators and shareholders that they can withstand future strains.
Individual national supervisors are also developing guidance on liquidity risk management for their banks. And while some regulators may set different time frames, the good news is that there is a global trend toward convergence around the Basel Committee's proposed liquidity risk management principles and metrics.
The committee's December proposals feature key ratios for liquidity risk, including: a liquidity coverage ratio to assess the short-term risk profile of an institution to ascertain if it has enough high-quality, liquid resources to survive a period of acute stress lasting one month; and a net stable funding ratio, intended to promote longer-term structural liquidity for less liquid and longer-term assets.
To respond to these proposals, banks must work to improve certain areas.
The increasing empowerment of chief risk officers is changing how the treasury function manages liquidity risk. In the past, many banks left tactical risk decisions to a director of liquidity management, who reported to the treasurer. However, many CROs will be expected to provide more information about capital and liquidity to both the board and chief executive officer.
Banks must develop a framework — led jointly by risk and finance — that integrates liquidity risk management with market, credit and operational risk management, as well as economic and regulatory capital management. This will entail day-to-day involvement from the CRO in liquidity management, including defining stress-testing approaches and assumptions. Leaders from finance and risk will also play a role in improving data quality and timeliness. Today, individual departments have differing abilities to produce granular information that can be used to capture enterprisewide liquidity risk. Data convergence requires consistent data tagging and formatting, which makes standardized comparisons possible.
Poor data quality can retard the development of enterprisewide stress-testing tools. The formulation of flexible systems for stress-testing purposes is part of a trend toward integrating risk management processes. Indeed, banks will need standardized data for multiple uses.
Charging for liquidity within a bank has often been performed too simplistically or at the wrong level in the management hierarchy to effectively influence business-line behavior.
But the regulatory pressure on business lines to mitigate liquidity risk could change this dynamic. Bank executives will need to ensure that internal prices reflect both the true cost of funding and any contingent risk. Accurate and consistent transfer pricing will be a key component in any contingency funding plans that regulators require.
The proposals make clear that regulators believe liquidity and capital must be addressed to "strengthen the resilience of the banking sector." While capital is not typically regarded as an effective mitigant for liquidity risk, some stress scenarios can jointly impact both capital and liquidity. And with new regulatory liquidity ratios to complement existing regulatory capital minimums, balance sheet management needs to consider both constraints. In response, banks are developing dynamic balance sheet analysis integrated with stress testing. This analysis, performed over longer time horizons (e.g., three to five years), provides senior management with insight into the combined impact of economic, market and other factors on liquidity, capital, earnings and solvency.
Boards and CEOs are moving to make compensation more risk-based. Delivering effective liquidity risk management plans should be a benchmark for senior bankers, not just for finance and risk officers. However, new metrics will be required to gauge the effectiveness of managers.
The two key metrics the Basel Committee cited as fundamental to gauging liquidity risk — liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio — should not be viewed as entirely distinct.
As with instilling a culture of enterprise risk management, banks will need to make liquidity risk management a priority and ensure that it measures resistance to potential short-term stresses and supports longer-term funding and capital management strategies.
Even if the economic recovery moves toward the more optimistic end of predictions, as demonstrated by the recent market events in Europe, it is clear that liquidity is a core risk that must be managed by banks.

HOUZZ: Decorate now or wait to renovate?
by Nelly Reffet
How do you know whether to decorate now or wait to renovate? An interior designer shares her answers to this common question.
Okay, so you've just moved into an 'old' house that's not quite to your tastes. You think you might renovate it at some stage, but you can't quite see it happening in the short term … or medium term for that matter. So what to do? Should you sit on your urge to live in an aesthetically-pleasing home and wait until you're ready to do a full-on renovation? Or should you start making some small but effective changes to your home now?
I get asked this question by clients all the time, so much so that I've come up with a checklist to help find the right answer. Here are some of the scenarios that in my experience mean either a) decorate now or b) wait to renovate.
You're expecting (or will be soon)
Renovations have a significant impact on three essential resources: money, energy and time. If you're having a baby soon, you will probably want to save these precious resources as much as possible because, as soon as baby arrives they'll be in high demand. Your income may be reduced if you're not working, you'll be tired as you adjust to your new life as parents, and you'll be wanting to spend as much time as possible with your new baby.
Unless the renovations you want to do are perfectly planned and structured, the scope feels manageable, and you have a great team of builders and tradies working on it, I would recommend putting extensive renovations on the back burner.
Instead, focus on smaller changes that you can make now, and that will have a big and positive effect on your daily life – a lighter shade of paint in a dark room, new soft furnishings in the baby's room, or even just replacing rusty cabinet doors with soft-close options.
This is the home you're going to bring your baby into, and it will host many sleepless nights and busy days for weeks, months and years to come. You might as well make it an enjoyable, practical and safe space for you and for bub sooner rather than later, and leave complex renovations on the long finger.

You can't tell the difference between 'wants' and 'needs'
In today's society, the line between 'wants' and 'needs' is getting blurrier and blurrier. As our buying power increases and technology enables lower-cost production, our houses are getting bigger, our fittings more luxurious, and our expectations of what a home should be have skyrocketed.
Four-bed, two-bath houses with theatre, activity room, alfresco areas, engineered stone benchtops and reverse-cycle air conditioning have somehow become more standard in Australia over the last decade. And for many of us who live in smaller or older dwellings that don't have such features, it can feel frustrating that our homes don't meet these 'standards'. Here come the reno cravings – desiring a house as big as thy neighbour's.
Instead, think long and hard about what you actually need. Do you really need a larger home or could you do with a big declutter? Are bigger rooms and windows necessary, or can simply bounce light around and add the illusion of space with strategically-placed mirrors? Do you have guests around enough to warrant adding on a guest bathroom?
By making some adjustments to your home through considerate decor, you will give yourself the opportunity to assess what your real needs are – and you might even realise that you already have a lot of them covered.
It's your first home
First home, first taste of freedom, first chance to realise those interior design dreams and finally let your creative vision run riot. However, while I absolutely encourage my clients to nurture that sense of 'design entrepreneurship', I also advise that they think carefully about what they want to do.
If it's your first home, unless you're a pro in the homes space, it probably means you don't have much experience with renovations, with what they involve, what they cost, etc. So before you plunge in head first, step back and start small. Baby steps make strong walkers.
There are plenty of basic updates you can make to your home. Repaint the walls and the ceilings, lay new carpet and layer some rugs on top, change window treatments, revamp a piece of furniture, or simply change your soft furnishings with the seasons.
These small projects won't break the bank, but will still make your home look and feel uniquely you. And while you gain more experience through the redecorating process, you'll gradually learn more about building lingo, structural requirements, and about the expense of it all – essential for when you begin your renovations down the track.
You're just not sure
When you walk through the door, you know it's your home. You like your home, and you can see its advantages. But for some reason something bugs you. It doesn't feel exactly right.
A lot of my clients struggle to identify what it is that should be done to make their homes better, or what they would have to do to make themselves feel better. If so, pause here for a second.
Before you start fantasising over big renovations, it's better to scale things back a bit. Give yourself time to see your house for what it is. Does the colour scheme work? Are your rooms properly lit, or do they feel a little gloomy? Maybe you just need more storage rather than more space. By trying to see your home for what it is, you'll better identify ways to improve each space, and at a much lower cost than a renovation would require.
If you do struggle to step back, consider hiring an interior designer for a few hours – they'll look at your home with a fresh (and experienced) pair of eyes, which can give you that much-needed perspective.

Your home is structurally unsafe
Your health and your safety are always the top priorities. So if your home's electrical system is not safe, your roof shows signs of weakness, or if mould appears on your ceiling or walls then you need to address these concerns now. And the sooner the better – for you, your family, and for the integrity of your building too.
In such circumstances, there is often no quick fix. For example, there's no point painting over moulded surfaces if the dampness issue isn't fixed first.
If your planned renovations are beyond your current budget, resist buying any non-essential items and focus on saving as much as possible, until you have the funds to start the work. Ideally, you should also have 10% to 30% more than the estimated cost, as structural issues often hide other problems, especially in older buildings.
Your home fails to address your needs
So, you're an avid cook, but your kitchen is of Lilliputian proportions and its layout is totally impractical.
You entertain a lot at home but your living space is tiny and dark, disconnected from the rest of the house.
Or you have an extended family who frequently visit from overseas, but you have no room to accommodate them.
These three situations are examples of scenarios when, regardless of the amount of decorating you could do, the issue is at the core of the home. These problems can only be resolved through proper renovation or extension work.
A home should never restrict you from doing what you love the most – it should be your sanctuary, a place where you can be free to be who you are. So design your home improvements around the structural changes you need to live a happier life. It's an investment towards your lifestyle, and one which you will never regret.
It's your 'forever home'
You know you will live in this house forever. It's a home that you want to write your own story in and it might even be passed on to your children one day. It's a special place. Or it will be.
The big advantage you have here is time. There's no need to rush or make-do. You can take the time to find inspiration, plan and budget for it. Don't waste your energy on temporary fixes – you are in this for the long term, so focus on the big picture.
And when you become a bit impatient, visualise the end result, the happy moments in it, the pride and the satisfaction you will feel. It'll all be worth the wait.

Master parodist Jon Stewart delivered a tour de force, extended Glenn Beck impression on Thursday's Daily Show in response to the news that Beck is ending his Fox News show. "Over the past two years I have always promised you that if anything were going to happen that would threaten your very existence on this planet, I would let you know about it in a very melodramatic way, signified in part by changes in seating and lighting," began Stewart's scathing take on Beck. Stewart went onto employ Beck-a-like glasses, a chalkboard and Beck's emphatic, sarcastic school-kid tone. Imitation, in this case, is the greatest form of comedy.

Delhi accommodation - The Claridges
The Claridges
Centrally located in a quiet corner of New Delhi and not far from historical places of interest The Claridges opened in the 1950's and has a vaguely colonial atmosphere with art deco features in the public areas. It's no relation to Claridges in London, but is a decent enough 4 star hotel and well-situated for sight seeing and access to the Delhi Metro.
The low-rise building, with just three floors, has some of the most spacious accommodation in Delhi with 138 rooms overlooking the swimming pool, landscaped gardens and diplomatic avenue. The rooms are classically styled and furnished, with Italian marble finished bathrooms and a good range of in-room facilities. There is a choice of restaurants both inside and out. Dhaba, created in the style of a trucker's café, serves delicious north Indian cuisine such as tandoori kebabs and balti dishes that are popular with locals.
