A huge thank you to all the educators and researchers who have contributed to a report from The Mitchell Institute at Victoria University, which was released earlier this week. Hopefully the report gains support in the media so this important issue is talked about and policies are changed and actioned.
What's in the report?
It includes evidence in relation to curriculum and pedagogy, and discusses elements of a quality preschool program. The report states "It is time for Australia to pursue a national commitment to ensuring all 3 year olds have access to high-quality early education by offering a second year of preschool".
What is currently happening
Australia currently has a national preschool program for all children (around four years old) in the year before school – a significant reform that started in 2008 and now provides 15 hours of preschool, delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher.
What needs to happen
It is now time to extend this to three-year-old children, so that all children can access two years of preschool. Early childhood peak bodies, experts and advocates have been calling for an expansion of Universal Access to 3 year olds in their submissions to the Productivity Commission and in pre-budget submissions to state, territory and federal governments.
Challenges to face
For nearly two thirds of Australian 3 year olds, participation in early education and care is the norm. However, only a small proportion of 3 year olds are enrolled in a program led by an early childhood teacher and the children most likely to miss out are the ones who will benefit most. There is no national policy or funding to support access to a preschool program for all 3 year olds. In establishing a second year of preschool, the challenge is to:
Make sure all three-year-olds receive the right amount of sufficiently high quality preschool that will have a sustained impact on their development.
Ensure the children currently missing out because of financial or other barriers have the opportunity to participate.
Nearly a quarter of Australian children start school without the foundations they need to take advantage of learning opportunities at school. And our school systems are struggling to help them catch up.
Report author Stacey Fox stressed she was not saying pre-school education should be compulsory for three-year-olds but the evidence showed that 15 hours attendance a week from the age of three made a big difference. "The research shows that two years of pre-school provides all children with an extra dose of developmental enrichment," she said.
Learning through play
Dr Fox says '"preschool programs are as much about helping children learn to get along with others, to be creative and collaborative problem solvers, and to understand and talk about their emotions as they are about supporting the foundations of literacy, numeracy and science. Skilled educators use teaching strategies that are appropriate for the age of the child. They extend children's thinking, encourage them to ask questions, engage them in conversations about things that excite them, and integrate learning into play and exploration."
The co-authors say research shows learning – including for social and emotional skills – is often sequential where foundational skills and knowledge are mastered before moving on, therefore it wouldn't be effective to just implement a preschool program for four-year-olds a year earlier. They note the curious nature of three-year-olds means hands-on, active learning approaches work best and we need to think about a child's learning as a continuum from 'emerging' to 'mastery', providing scaffolding along the way.
"Three year olds are eager to try and master new skills, such as how to climb up the stairs of the slide, how to propel themselves on a swing, how to paint, draw, or to build with blocks. Mastery learning requires opportunities to practise things again and again, with the support and encouragement of others. This suggests that constantly changing the experiences that are provided is not in children's best interests. Three year olds will want to revisit activities or experiences over and over and, while the adults may be "bored", the children will find them interesting because they want to master the learning or skill that is involved."
Transition to school
Samantha Page from Early Childhood Australia agreed with the recommendation to extend preschool access. "Children who go to a quality preschool are much more likely to make a successful transition into school," she said. "We know that we have nearly a quarter of children starting school at a disadvantage to their peers, that means they're coming into school behind where their peers are and it's fairly difficult for those children to catch up. In fact most of them don't and we can correct that by investing more in the preschool years."
Our Education minister...
Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham said he welcomed the discussion about extending preschool. "I've been speaking publicly about extending preschool to three year olds for nearly a year. It's a complex issue in terms of what settings it should be delivered in and for what hours as well as how it is funded," he said. "Nonetheless we are looking at international models and will engage with state leaders who have a prime responsibility in the delivery and funding of any preschool expansion."
Senator Birmingham said the Government's focus now was trying to pass the savings needed to pay for the planned overhaul of the child care and early education system.
Recommendations from the report
The report recommends Federal and State governments investigate national implementation of a three-year-old program. It says that would bring Australia into line with most developed countries which provide two years of pre-school. Dr Fox said other OECD countries had extended preschool and educational outcomes had improved. "We've looked across the international research literature. We've spoken to preschool teachers and child development experts in Australia and there's an overwhelming consensus that two years of preschool gives children the best start," Dr Fox said. "All of the evidence shows that two years of high-quality preschool is one of the best ways to amplify children's learning and development."
Final thoughts
The Conversation sums up this issue perfectly, "we have achieved near-universal enrolment in preschool for four year olds in the past five years. We can do the same thing for three year olds".

The US Justice Department has filed a host of criminal charges against Chinese telecoms giant Huawei and its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou.
The charges against the world's second largest smartphone maker include bank fraud, obstruction of justice and theft of technology.
The case could ratchet up tensions between China and the US, and impact the firm's global expansion efforts.
Both Ms Meng and Huawei deny the allegations.
Ms Meng was arrested in Canada last month at the request of the US for allegedly evading sanctions on Iran.
"For years, Chinese firms have broken our export laws and undermined sanctions, often using US financial systems to facilitate their illegal activities. This will end," said US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
In a statement, Huawei rejected the charges, saying it didn't commit "any of the asserted violations" and that it "is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms Meng".
It said the allegations were already the subject of a settled civil suit, in which a jury found "neither damages nor willful and malicious conduct on the trade secret claim".
What are the charges?
The indictment alleges Huawei misled the US and a global bank about its relationship with two subsidiaries, Huawei Device USA and Skycom Tech, to conduct business with Iran.
US President Donald Trump's administration has reinstated all sanctions on Iran removed under a 2015 nuclear deal and recently imposed even stricter measures, hitting oil exports, shipping and banks.
A second case alleges Huawei stole technology from T Mobile used to test smartphone durability, as well as obstructing justice and committing wire fraud.
The T-Mobile tech, known as Tappy, mimicked human fingers to test phones.
In all, the US has laid 23 charges against the company.
"These charges lay bare Huawei's alleged blatant disregard for the laws of our country and standard global business practices," said FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Mr Wray said companies like Huawei "pose a dual threat to both our economic and national security".

More like a San Francisco B&B than a Theater District hotel, this lovely, welcoming inn is a real charmer.
The second-floor lobby sets the homey, easygoing tone with stocked bookcases, cushy seating, and cafe tables where breakfast is served. The rooms are basic but comfy, outfitted in an appealing neo-deco style with firm beds, good-quality linens and textiles, and hair dryers in the nice bathrooms. The whole place is impeccably kept - neatniks wont have a quibble. Two rooms have king beds and whirlpool tubs, but the standard doubles are just fine for two if youre looking to save some dough. If theres more than two of you, or youre looking to stay a while, the suites - with pull-out sofa, microwave, minifridge, data ports on the phones, and lots of closet space - are a great deal. The location can be noisy, but double-paned windows keep the rooms surprisingly peaceful; still, ask for a back-facing one if youre extra sensitive.
The inns biggest asset is its terrific staff, who go above and beyond to make guests happy and at home in New York; service doesnt get any better in this price range. And this corner of the Theater District is now porn-free and gentrifying beautifully; it makes a great home base, especially for theatergoers. The inn has inspired a loyal following, so reserve early. However, theres no elevator in the four-story building, so overpackers and travelers with limited mobility should book elsewhere.
Personal touches and reasonable rates give visitors a relatively relaxing way to enjoy the heart of the city.
No elevators, though the friendly hotel staff will happily lug bags up and down the three stories. While double-paned windows cut down on street noise, they cant completely block it out. Rooms at the back of the hotel are quieter.

Western Sydney Uni & Google Australia Living Labs/
By Novan Sachrudi
The stakes are high for young people living and working in the Greater Western Sydney region but fairly often it's unclear how we can meaningfully influence the decision making processes that impact our future.
Y Vote is super pumped to be sharing this opportunity for young people living, studying or working in the GWS area to be involved in the planning and testing of innovative ideas alongside Western Sydney Uni, Google Australia and other stakeholders.
Read on for some context on why the stakes are high and how you can get involved.
The Challenges of Building an Even Greater GWS:
Few places in Australia have changed as rapidly as Greater Western Sydney (GWS). In fact it's the nation's biggest and fastest-growing urban region, and it's got a lot to be proud of. Aside from producing some killer sporting teams that punch way above their weight (how about those Giants?!), it's an economic powerhouse – the third biggest economy in Australia next to Sydney and Melbourne. With its rapid and promising changes, it shouldn't come as a surprise that more than a million people are going to be calling it home in the next 20 years or so.
What's at stake for 18 - 35's:
But with great growth comes great challenges, and the planning and vision for GWS could really make or break its success story. And seeing as GWS is such a young region, with more than half of all locals being under the age of 35, these rapid changes are really going to affect young people living and working in GWS. So we're going to take a look at some of these key challenges and issues that will need solving in order to keep the GWS success story alive and sustainable well into the future, and how you might be able to be part of the solution.
The youth unemployment rate for GWS is significantly higher than the NSW state average of 12 percent. In 2016, 14.35 percent of youth in Blacktown and the outer southwest were unemployed, and this went up to 15.7 percent in the inner southwest. Unfortunately, it's just not getting any easier for young locals to get work within the GWS region.
This could be because the rate of jobs and opportunities aren't growing as fast as the region's population. According to Western Sydney University's Centre for Western Sydney, in any typical year in GWS, jobs will grow by about 8,000 versus a growth of around 14,000 employed people living in GWS. In 2016 that translated to a massive exodus of 318,000 GWS residents leaving the area every day to go to work.
Though it isn't all grey skies for GWS youth, with Parramatta reporting well below the state average at 9.9%. Nice work, Parra!
But on the whole it's proving to be challenge for GWSties, especially because GWS is still heavily reliant on the declining manufacturing sector to provide jobs, with the growth in other industries and sectors being unable to relieve the decline.
Getting to work is also a significant challenge for people who live in GWS. It's a huge area and jobs are scattered around the whole region. Coupled with inadequate public transport, this means that less than 20% of all jobs in GWS can be reached within half an hour – and that's if you drive. So naturally, the majority of GWS residents are opting to travel to work by car – and this has some very concerning consequences. Not only does this become really expensive, it also adds to increasing traffic congestion and air pollution. It has implications on quality of life, personal well-being and family relationships due to more time spent on the commute to and from work.
Without some forward thinking and effective solutions, this is only set to get worse. The number of GWS residents working outside of the region is projected to grow to 416,000 by 2036. So if you live in GWS, unless we come up with a way of getting you to work within 30 minutes and preferably without driving, you might be looking at spending more of your mornings enjoying the wonderful scenery and sounds of the M4 motorway.
As we have learned, for GWS solving the challenges of finding work and commuting to your job has huge positive knock-on effects which can only benefit young folks in this region. But while employment and transport are GWS' big ticket issues, there are so many more issues to be discussed when it comes to imagining and building a successful and thriving GWS for young folks. Thinking of issues ranging from enhancing education delivery to the promoting the arts; the preservation of the natural environment to building a thriving nightlife; deepening culture to beefing up infrastructure – in a region so full of young people, it's only natural that not only will we be participating in these sectors or receiving their services, but we'll also be at the front line when it comes to delivering their successful outcomes.
But as young people, unfortunately it's easy to pass us over when it comes to the decision making processes. Many young people feel marginalised from policy, city planning and the politics of it all, and their contributions are seen to be irrelevant or may go unacknowledged. If we're trying to build the next big Australian urban powerhouse in GWS, then continuing to marginalise young GWSties from the decision making processes is to the detriment of all.
GWS isn't going to get built in a day, and there are some huge challenges to overcome to meet in a relatively short amount of time. What gets planned today and executed tomorrow and into the future could really dictate what kind of future GWS and Sydney as whole is in for. It really is make or break! So much is in our hands, so it's only natural that some of the country's greatest minds have taken to the challenge. And they want you to have a say!
Western Sydney University and Google Australia are collaborating to take a closer look at the critical issues and changes that GWS will be facing now and into the future. To do it, they're combining and building on over 20 years of innovation to run a Living Lab – an impact and solutions focused research and development concept that brings together researchers, industry, government, community-based organisations and everyday citizens to co-design the solutions to the issues they face.
Sign up now!
The next workshop is on Friday 31 March from 9.30am-3.00pm in Parramatta.
If you're a young person from GWS and would like to get involved you can register for free here. If you're a young person that doesn't earn a salary, make sure you let the organisers know at the email address below.
If you would like more info about what the Living Lab involves, or you can't make it to this workshop and would like to register your interest for future events please contact Dr Girish Lala at email@example.com.

I would like to get a list of countries with it respective Language and currency.
First I created my class to store the information I need:
class Country: NSObject {
var localeID:String?
var name:String?
var code:String?
var currencyCode:String?
var currencySymbol:String?
var currencyName:String?
var languageCode:String?
var languageName:String?
Then I started the iteration over ISOCountryCodes with:
let countriesISOCodes = NSLocale.ISOCountryCodes()
for country in countriesISOCodes {
// code here .....
Then I tried to get the country name inside for loop with :
let anyLocale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: country)
country.name = anyLocale.displayNameForKey(NSLocaleCountryCode, value : code)
Everything was great until I tried to get currencyCode, currencySymbol, currencyName, languageCode, languageName
I tried a bunch of combinations of
NSLocale.objectForKey and
NSLocale.displayNameForKey and nothing worked.
Do you know how I can get a list of countries using ISOCountryCode with respective currency and language information ?
Here's a list of the relevant keys and value types:
NSLocale component keys
You use the function
objectForKey to retrieve the values.
If you check
currentLocale() method,
localeIdentifier is a string format like "en_CN".
ISOCountryCode() method just return a list of country codes each is part of localeIdentifier. You may use NSLocale.availableLocaleIdentifiers() instead.
let countriesIdentifiers = NSLocale.availableLocaleIdentifiers()
for country in countriesIdentifiers {
let anyLocale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: country)
// code here .....

First, I Am Legend. I had read a plot synopsis of the original novel it was based on. I like the synopsis better than the movie. While the movie wasn't bad, I don't think it was as good as it could have been.
Second, Juno. Awesome. I wish my friends and I talked like this. The movie is hilarious, but still keeps it emotion and seriousness. I loved every minute of this movie.
Monthly Archives: January 2008
Two more movies
First, I Am Legend. I had read a plot synopsis of the original novel it was based on. I like the synopsis better than the movie. While the movie wasn't bad, I don't think it was as good as it could have been.
Don't see Cloverfield
I went to see Cloverfield on opening night. I now remember why I don't go to theaters anymore.
For anyone who doesn't know, Cloverfield is about a monster attacking NYC. It's shot from the point of view of regular people caught up in the event, filming with their handycam. A group of friends is having a party and filming it for the guest of honor and shit starts going down.
What makes this movie so bad? If you give a camera to someone who's never filmed anything before, instinctually they point it at a person's face and hold the camera as still as possible. Also, when a giant alien monster fish-a-saur starts destroying things and crapping freaky spiders, you drop the camera and run.
In the given situation, it becomes every man for themselves. The only responsibility a person has is to help their children. You can sleep well tonight knowing that if we get attacked tonight, I'm not going to come make sure you're safe and healthy. I'll be far away.
But back to the movie. The previews made this movie look much better for one main reason. If you're filming and you start running with the camera, not paying attention to what the camera is pointing at, you're going to film a lot of fast, streaking, blurry ground. All of those moments were not shown in any previews.
These pointless, terrible shots made up at least a quarter of the movie. How do I know this? Each time something like that happened, I had to look away from the screen to prevent motion sickness. I'm not one to get motion sick easy, but if I had forced myself to watch the whole thing I would have hurled on the handicapped person in front of me.
The bottom line is that this movie is bad. I like the concept, but it didn't work at all. I'd rather see this movie shot normally. Sean also said that if there's a second one it's going to be an alternate perspective of the same attack. Woo Hoo.

Christmas crafts: How to create a marble cheeseboard and rustic place setting
Friday 5 December 2014, Written by Sarah Cole
With gingerbread littering the office, Christmas trees going up and a chill in the air, we are starting to feel decidedly festive! Our shopping is well underway and thoughts are beginning to turn to those all important details - table settings, decorations and, perhaps most importantly, Christmas food.
To help your preparations we thought we would come up with a couple of easy DIY projects with tiles that could be done in an afternoon to add that all important personal touch to your décor.
DIY Marble Cheese Board
Marble is set to be a big trend in 2015, so get in there early with this gorgeous marble cheeseboard. This is a really easy Christmas craft with a beautiful final result. This would look great on your festive table, or would be a lovely gift for a friend or loved one.
To create this you will need:
- A marble tile - we used a 30 x 30cm tile
- Thin pieces of wooden trim - readily available at your local DIY store.
- Gold paint - or whatever colour you prefer!
- Strong, quick-drying glue - we recommend an
epoxy adhesive for strength, such as Araldite or
Evo- Stik Rapid
- Self-adhesive rubber feet
- Cut your wood to the size of your tile to make a frame.
- Paint with your chosen colour and leave to dry.
- Once totally dry, apply glue to the wood pieces and stick to the edge of your tile. Press firmly and hold for a few seconds. Continue until you have applied to all of the sides.
- Apply the self-adhesive rubber feet to the corners of the underside of your tile to protect your work surface from scratching and to ensure the board won't slip.
Be aware that marble can stain, so clean up any spills straight away! Wipe gently with a damp cloth and avoid using any strong chemical cleaners.
This craft is about as easy as it gets, all you need is a slate tile and a chalk pen in whatever colour you fancy. Have fun with this and draw your own festive design on the place setting - or create a personalised message for your guests! Just be sure to practice your best handwriting first…
The chalk pen wipes off easily with a damp cloth. Add self adhesive rubber feet if being placed on a surface that could scratch.
Let us know via Twitter if you have a go at either of these craft ideas.
For more ideas, head over to our Inspiration pages or browse more images on Pinterest.

The Flying Scotsman. Cornwall's buzz word for the day.
For me there is a personal connection, I recall seeing this 1923 Pacific steam locomotive in a train museum as a very young child along with the Stephensons Rocket. I don't believe it was in a very good condition after being rescued from the States.
As steam engines go, few are as iconic as this one as thousands of residents across the Duchy came out today despite the poor weather.
The engine is special on more than just a personal level though. It was the first locomotive in the UK to reach 100mph and it certainly seemed to be at an optimum cruising speed today, blink and you would have missed it going past!
The history of the steam train is full of near scrappage and rescue. Being stranded in the US after a lack of funding and of course a repetition of bankrupting its owners.
Wherever this engine has travelled it has drawn huge crowds and been a proud symbol of Britian's glorious engineering and steam age. Not only travelling by ship to the US where it ran for a year with a modified cow catcher but after it's rescue again it was even shipped to Australia for the Bi-Centennial celebrations. Both times gave large risk to the heavy engine breaking free and either rolling off the deck or going down with the ship in rough seas or storm swells. Thankfully it made it there and back on both occasions for us all to continue being able to enjoy it.
There is something magical about a steam engine. It maybe a man made machine but you can't help but feel like it has a living and breathing life of it's own. Today was utterly amazing as I stood in a field with my wife and my 1 year old son watching this magical puffing monster racing towards us.
Something I spotted today was the sign at the front of the engine so I looked it up. What did we do before Google! "The Cathedrals Express", what did that mean if the train was called The Flying Scotsman. Well, turns out that the Cathedrals Express was a named passenger express introduced in 1957 on the Western Region of British Railways. It connected the cathedral cities of Hereford and Worcester to London Paddington. It was basically a title to say hey I'm the bee's knees so book me just like the cruise ships blue ribbon status for speed and luxury.
Now if only it could become more of a regular event with a mixture of trains and the railways backing, imagine the extra tourism and enjoyment potential that has!

The Professional Cross Country Club of Tasmania's season got underway on Sunday with the running of the Burnie Sports Power 5 kilometre handicap at Wivenhoe.
The race was taken out by Evan Brett who was thrilled with his win, his second with the club. He was very fit having trained especially for the Cadbury half marathon on January, where he recorded a strong personal best.
The out and back course to Fernglade made use of the new footpath which provided great conditions underfoot.
A good field, considering the long weekend, gathered to hear the starter's orders with the gun firing shortly after 10:00 am.
Virtual go-marker, Stuart Greenhill, led the runners away but was overtaken by Sally Atkinson after a couple of kilometres.
Backmarkers, Thomas Wilson, Brad Taylor, Bryan Tuit and Doug Hamerlok started making strong progress and all looked possible winners at different stages.
On the return trip it appeared that Matthew Rolls and Kyle Groenewege may fight out the finish – if they could catch Atkinson. However with a flying finish, it was Brett who was to take the lead within the shadows of the post, denying Atkinson, with Thomas Wilson finishing third.
Hamerlok took out fastest time for the men with Natasha Mapley fastest female.
Next week's run, which starts at the Cooee Hall, will be on Saturday due to Run Devonport on Sunday.

This post always seems to be bumped the last two years lol!
Having to deal with smokers in line is a sad thing especially when it is cold outside. It is that issue of something externally affecting you as a result of others. Sometimes you get some courteous people who walk to the side or down the store side to smoke but when someone just lights it up and then keeps lighting one up every 10 minutes it gets to be horrific and affects you.
Especially back when BF was on Black Friday, it was funny how the smoker always turned out to be the person who never fell asleep when were were waiting for the stores to open lol!
As for the vape comment, I catch people in stores trying to vape it up as well before they are asked to stop. People just do not try to be courteous sometimes.
Don't smoke in line.

Re: Don't smoke in line.
Back for my annual reminder to not smoke in line. I'm going to add vaping to the list too, if it hasn't already been added. If you're waiting in line, online, while sitting at home in your underwear, feel free to smoke whatever you got.

The company was founded in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland in 1991. It was originally called Hillside Software Publishing Limited and traded as 'Hillside Software'. In the nineties most of the company's work involved developing software for real-time monitoring systems and scientific applications. Today, helping organizations to comply with relevant IT security and data protection standards accounts for most of our business. Specifically, we regularly assist companies that wish to be certified to the ISO 27001 standard for information security management systems.
We've worked successfully with over sixty organizations. Customers have ranged from a one-person secure IT recycling business to a software services provider with a turnover of tens of millions of pounds to an international oil and gas corporation. Assignments have been carried out in the UK, Switzerland, Nigeria and The Gabon.
Information Security Management
It is our policy to comply with the ISO 27001:2013 standard for information security management systems in accordance with our values. In 2005 we achieved UKAS-accredited certification for our management system as complying with BS 7799-2, the forerunner of the ISO 27001 standard.
Software Quality Management
It is our policy to comply with the ISO 9001:2015 standard for quality management systems in accordance with our values.
In 1993 we famously achieved UKAS-accredited ISO 9001/TickIT certification for our management system that was based on a LOW PAPER DIET™ approach developed by Richard Murray. Sadly, because of the complexities of ISO 27001 and other information security and data protection-related standards it is no longer practical to use a 'pure' LOW-PAPER DIET™ approach when creating and operating an integrated management system.
Corporate Responsibility

We aim to:
- Conserve energy and natural resources.
- Monitor and reduce waste and pollution resulting from our business activities.
- Comply with all applicable environmental regulations.

Hotels need to get the right digital transformation strategies to engage customers with compelling offers. See "Travel technology: finding the right solution"
A combination of factors including budget airlines and ride-sharing have made traveling more affordable than ever. Still, when it comes to finding a place to stay, hotel rooms tend to cost a small fortune. Nowadays, there are solutions for people trying to save money thanks to the rise of the sharing economy, particularly websites such as couchsurfing and Airbnb. Both services give hotels a run for their money but how much is Airbnb actually saving people in major cities?

As the number of electric and plug-in hybrid cars starts to increase, people are thinking about ways to make use of a new potential power resource. Vehicle-to-grid or V2G is a system in which plug-in electric vehicles can communicate back and forth with the power grid in order to deliver electricity into the grid when it is needed and cut back their charging rate when it is scarce.
The idea makes real sense when there is a large number of plug-in electric vehicles. Most vehicles are parked an average of 95 percent of the time, which means that if they were tied to the electric grid during that time, they could collectively act as an enormous battery for the grid.
V2G vehicles could balance the load on the grid by charging when overall demand is low and sending power back when demand is high. V2G could provide so-called spinning reserves to meet sudden demands for power. V2G could reduce the need for costly peak power plants.

What the CIA Could Learn From the U.K. Government Apology Over a Libyan Rendition Case
Four lessons from the experience of Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and Fatima Boudchar.
Latest in Interrogation: Abuses
Four lessons from the experience of Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and Fatima Boudchar.
From the perspective of someone who has worked with U.K. and U.S. intelligence agencies, the damage done by CIA's program is so vast that it is hard to fully understand.
To protect the independence of the CIA, its leader must enjoy strong bipartisan support—and that can only come with a nominee who is not disqualified by her deep involvement with and support for torture.
Gina Haspel will testify before the Senate intelligence committee beginning at 9:30 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
Gina Haspel was nominated by Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. That makes a huge difference. Here's why the Senate should confirm her anyway.
A new report by the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group makes clear that it will not be recommending a return to coercive interrogations.
An outline of the legal issues in the D.C. District Court's order in Jawad and Jawad's appellate brief.
When the SSCI initially released its Study on the CIA's Enhanced Interrogation Program in December 2014, the CIA quietly released a "Note to the Reader," which the Senate Intelligence Committee only became aware of last week. Here's what it says.
Senator Dianne Feinstein replies to Lawfare's Amy Zegart on the SSCI Study of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program.
Did the CIA or SSCI Report win the torture debate? Sen. Feinstein's report is more Rohrschach test than smoking gun, unlikely to change opinions on either side.

MLA clarifies : The MLA who later clarified on the issue said so -"I have not reprimanded the KIADB officer. He had sent out the people who had approached him by saying 'get out.' As people had complained to me I had visited the office and had tried to cool down the situation."

News For This Month: Experts
Landscape Ideas 2017: Understanding the Differences Between Hardscape and Softscape Landscape design involves two elements making up your outdoor living areas which are the hardscape and softscape. But what are the differences between a hardscape and a softscape? Hardscape refers to the man-made features or materials used in the building of environment structures such as paths and walls. Whereas softscape refers to the fluid, changing, and horticultural elements of a landscape such as plants, shrubs, and trees. Ideally, a balanced landscape should have a harmonious combination of hardscape and softscape elements. An overly hardscaped landscape does not bring out the relaxing and soothing effect intended for a garden, whereas too much softscape makes your yard like a jungle. What makes a softscape generally includes soft horticultural elements such as flowers, shrubs, ground covers, and trees which are the growing or living components of a landscape. The hardscape elements of a landscape include the patios, pool surrounds, decks, walls, fences, arbors, gazebos, pergolas, stones, rocks, retaining walls, stairs, walkways, and landscape edging. Both hardscape and softscape elements are important to outdoor living spaces, with hardscape elements providing support and functional use, while softscape elements providing green and living forms in your yard. Whether it is man-made or natural, small or big, formal or informal, light or heavy, the hardscape elements of a garden add focus and balance. If you just imagine a yard with pure softscape without wood, stones, rocks, gazebos, walls, or brick, it's like a wild forest situated right next to your house. For centuries, bricks are being used to build roads, walls, pathways, buildings, and all sorts of structures, and they have specific patterns that can make a surface appear informal or formal. Another form of hardscape is your decking that can use composite materials or engineered wood, providing excellent traction, resisting rotting and mold, and does not require sanding or resealing. Composite decking is an eco-friendly material that is durable and make a perfect structure made of wood fibers as well as recycled plastics. Concrete is a good material for construction of your patio or pathway project because it can be stamped, texturized, stained, and embedded with other materials such as sea glass, white sand and pebbles. The different loose-material in hardscaping include pea gravel, small stones, recycled rubber mulch, Mexican river rock, and recycled glass. Flagstone or natural stone is an attractive and popular choice for outdoor patios. Tiles are not just for indoor applications but also make a good material for outdoor living space. Feel free to check our website or homepage for more related articles about the best water features, landscape ideas, and hardscape services in New Braunfels.What Research About Businesses Can Teach You

Not much going on today but it sure was hot. I hung up a few fly catchers. The sticky kind. Will see what they do. Put out some more humming bird feeders. Hope the little guys are not too mad at me for not feeding them. They put some kind of spray on the burnt wheat field. I think they will plant in a few days. Joel said that Kenny from Stillwater will be here Saturday.
