Lawfare Project Hosts Alan Dershowitz
Professor Alan Dershowitz (Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Harvard Law School) is to engage in a groundbreaking live discussion with Scott Horton(Contributing Editor, Harper's Magazine) about whether or not "lawfare" is indeed a threat.
The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Sebastian Gorka (Military Affairs Fellow, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies) and the event is co-chaired byLawfare Project director, Fox News regular and award-winning filmmaker, Brooke Goldstein with Nicholas Rostow (Distinguished Professor, National Defense University.)
Dershowitz deems lawfare "one of the newest and most emergent threats to all liberal democracies, not just Israel," urging us "not only to raise awareness about this phenomenon but work towards countering it." Horton, on the other hand, condemns "crying 'lawfare' at every hostile contention in court" which he says, "suggests a lack of faith in judges, the legal system and the rule of law. No democracy should be afraid to justify itself on the law and before a court. If an adversary wants to use petitions and legal briefs instead of bullets and bombs, that's good news!"
The event will pit two heavyweights in the policy world debating, for the first time, the most controversial legal issue of our time, the use of the law as a weapon of war by terrorists and their sympathizers against our national security interests.

Well another week down, and a little more work done. This piece was my first real Photoshop painting. I've been wanting to do a painting where a person has antlers for a while, so this was a long time coming. I decided to have it be designed to go with a magazine article about different types of prejudices. I still need to tweak it a bit, probably by adding some reflecting yellows and blues in the actual characters rather than keeping them completely grayscale.
Next project for the class is to do an illustration to go along with a song from the 1960's. I'm fairly certain which I'm going to do, but the two that I've narrowed it down to are CCR's "Fortunate Son" and the Beatles' (and Joe Cocker's) "With a Little Help From My Friends."
Also, the big news is about the blog. I finally got my updated layout up. I'll still be doing some tweaking over the coming weeks, as well as adding a link to my new site, which will be up within the month. Let me know what you all think in the comments! Also, some details of familiar faces after the jump!

Series: Fighting Free #2
on Release date: March 3rd, 2016
Genres: Alpha Male, Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense
Buy on Amazon
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
She impressed me
She intrigued me
She captivated me
IÔÇÖm consumed by her, but I canÔÇÖt afford the risk of loving her. I repeat this like a mantra in a valiant attempt to make myself believe the words.
And I did, until I almost lost her. Until I was forced to admit what she means to me.
Am I willing to gamble on love? Knowing how quickly the world can be turned upside down, how everything you thought you had safely within your grasp can suddenly get snatched away
Tormented by my past, I know I run the risk of destroying my future.
Then the present forces me to fight for her - secrets, lies, threats and betrayal, a potent mixture for heartbreak and hurt
But whoever wants my girl needs to get through me first, I protect whatÔÇÖs mine, and IÔÇÖll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
*This is the conclusion to Freed by Him and cannot be read as a standalone*
**This book is suitable for readers 17yrs and older due to adult themes - yes there are "steamy" scenes!**
ÔØä ÊëÔÇ┐Ô×╣ÔüÇÔØå 4 Stars ÔØä ÊëÔÇ┐Ô×╣ÔüÇÔØå
How much trouble and heartbreak can one couple go through before one, the other, or both of them break? Lena and Nate have been through a lot in the first part of this series, Freed by Him, but fate is not done yet with either one of them, and things get worse in Caught by Her before they get better.
ÔÇ£My world, my life, my happiness all revolves around you sweetheart, and I wouldnÔÇÖt want it any other way.ÔÇØ
Caught by Her, the continuation of Freed by Him, took unexpected turns throughout the story. I remember reading book one and thinking I knew exactly where this story was taking me, only to be taken by surprise at every turn. Picking up exactly where book one left off, a distraught Nate was confronted with his worst nightmare, which sends him into a tailspin. He pulled away from the one person who he loves more than anything, not knowing how to deal with his demons, hurting Lena badly in the process.
"Sometimes relationships don't work, and the only option is to walk away"
Both Lena and Nate were two of the most stubborn characters IÔÇÖve met in a while. Neither one of them are willing to put their issues aside first and work things out. Instead they preferred to ignore their issues. There was a whole lot of miscommunication, jealousy, and mistrust between them for a while, which, while understandable is quite frustrating at times. I was definitely over the moon once they got their shit together, with the help of their friends, and finally communicated, working out their issues.
ÔÇ£DonÔÇÖt be a coward when it comes to her. Love isnÔÇÖt the wonderful, sweet romance that you hear about in fairytales. ItÔÇÖs not for the fainthearted. Love requires guts and determination. If you want a love that will last a lifetime you need to fight for it; you need to prove youÔÇÖre worthy of it.ÔÇØ
Caught by Her was a great continuation for the series. I loved both NateÔÇöthe perfect alpha, yet flawed in his strength and protectivenessÔÇöand LenaÔÇöher strength, independence, and intelligence. They were perfect for each other, balancing each other out. I was further extremely happy to see how much the writing improved from book one. I couldnÔÇÖt put this book down and cursed life whenever I had to.
This was an amazing story and I canÔÇÖt wait to see what G.L. Chapple comes up with next. This is definitely an author to watch out for in the future.
~Review by Anja
This time our kisses were soft and sweet, his hands cradled my face as his lips gently brushed mine. Our tongues tangled together in a slow dance as he began to make love to me as the music played in the background.
This was completely different from our previous encounters.
This was love.
This was so incredibly intimate and sensual.
Tears glistened in my eyes, and I fought to stop them falling. The emotional intensity was almost more than I could bear.
This wasnÔÇÖt about making me come un-done; this was about sealing us together, bonding us, sharing something incredible and powerful together.
The words resonated deep within me as he kissed and caressed me. IÔÇÖd never felt so connected to someone; it was unlike anything IÔÇÖd ever experienced.
He maintained eye contact with me as he worshipped my body, his eyes telling me more than his words ever could.
I thought IÔÇÖd laid myself bare to Nate by telling him my secrets, but this was so much more than that. I felt totally exposed to him and instead of feeling anxious, I felt cherished and loved. My chest ached. My heart felt like it had swollen to burst.
The sensations flooding my system were overwhelming me and I clung to him, my fingertips digging into his back, my nails raking up and down as I pulled him closer to me.
I could feel myself climbing towards my third orgasm, my mind scattered, my emotions frayed and my body taut. I wanted to tell him I didnÔÇÖt think I could cope with anymore.
It was all too much.
My words were garbled, moans indecipherable, I closed my eyes for a moment and heard him call my name through the fog of pleasure.
ÔÇ£Lena, look at me, Princess.ÔÇØ His voice was strained but demanding.
I opened my eyes as my body seemed to dissolve beneath me as a wave of pleasure washed over me, the intensity forcing a strangled cry from me. He slowed slightly as I rode out my orgasm.
My body felt boneless, my senses overloaded, before he increased his tempo again, chasing his own release.
Within minutes my name became a long drawn out moan on his lips as he reached his climax. He held his weight off me with his forearms but dropped his head down onto my chest. I could feel his heart beating against my own chest.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is set to be excluded from a foundation that oversees the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp memorial. The foundation's director told DW the move was "the lesser of two evils."
The director of the foundation that oversees the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp memorial has greeted a proposal that would bar members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party from serving on its board of trustees.
"The AfD is a revisionist party that does not conform to our purpose of honoring the victims," Jens-Christian Wagner, the head of the Lower Saxony Memorials Foundation that oversees the camp site, told DW.
Nazi Germany was responsible for the systematic extermination of an estimated six million Jews. Some 50,000 people lost their lives in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen; among them was the acclaimed diarist Anne Frank.
A number of AfD politicians have been accused of Holocaust denial — a criminal offense in Germany.
Read more: Controversy over far-right AfD member joining former concentration camp board
Keeping them out
Any party represented in Lower Saxony's state parliament currently has an autonomic right to send an appointee to the foundation's board. After the AfD won seats in October following regional elections, Wagner proposed changing the law.
Holocaust survivors also expressed their alarm at the prospect of politicians affiliated with Holocaust deniers having any involvement in the Bergen-Belsen memorial.
State lawmakers from the four other parties — the Christian Democrats (CDU), Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Free Democrats (FDP) — responded with a bill that would reduce the number of board seats reserved for state politicians to four. It would also require a parliamentary vote for each appointment.
The bill is expected to become law in the coming weeks.
Read more: AfD: What you need to know about Germany's far-right party
'Lesser of two evils'
Wagner said he would have preferred reducing the total number of political appointees to one or two. Only allowing four parties out of five represented in the parliament to send appointees, he said, could bolster the AfD's own narrative of being the "victim."
Since winning seats at the state level and entering Germany's lower house of parliament last fall, the AfD has accused the media of one-sided coverage and criticized mainstream parties for refusing to work with its representatives. Nevertheless, Wagner thinks excluding the AfD is a wise decision.
"It's a question of what is the lesser evil: Either give the AfD the opportunity to present itself as the victim or have a party on the board that publically argues against the foundation's mission," he said.
"I would rather do without the AfD."
An American dropped the word "Nazi" during a spat at Frankfurt Airport. Police say it was directed at them and are suing her for slander. But in a country with freedom of speech, how can this be legal? (26.01.2018)
The Bundestag has commemorated the Holocaust, for the first time with the far-right AfD present. In her speech, Auschwitz survivor Anita Lasker-Wallfisch praised Germany's "courageous gesture" in accepting refugees. (31.01.2018)
The Center for Political Beauty's Holocaust memorial replica built next to AfD's Björn Höcke home maddened the far-right party — but it pleased many others, including the initiator of the original memorial in Berlin. (23.11.2017)
DW looks at the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, entering the Bundestag as the third largest party. Its main appeal is its opposition to Angela Merkel's open-door policy toward migrants. (24.09.2017)
An eight-line poem penned by teenage Holocaust victim Anne Frank has gone under the hammer in the Netherlands for 140,000 euros, exceeding all presale estimates. Frank wrote the poem shortly before she went into hiding. (23.11.2016)
Politicians from the far-right AfD could soon be represented on a board that oversees former Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Survivor groups are appalled. But some observers say excluding the party could backfire. (28.11.2017)

Sod You David Cameron: Why I Am On Strike Today
3 comments:
Of course you have to appreciate that there isn't enough money to pay for everything we would like, however much we would like it.ReplyDelete
After all, it would never do to have funds from parking charges, and penalties for illegal, inconsiderate or downright dangerous car parking which can lawfully only be spent on highway and transport projects, because that would be a "tax" on "hard-working families", wouldn't it? And it would never do to introduce "efficiency savings" - such as getting a camera to do the work of several highly(?) paid parking wardens in identifying and actioning illegal parking. After all, the point of "efficiency savings" is only really to ensure that my elderly mother with Parkinsons and Dementia is not considered to be in sufficient need to merit a visit from occupational therapy consultants in Adult Social Services. Isn't it?
Yes, there is the point of the affordability of public services and the mess is at the feet of the last government too.ReplyDelete
But, the public expect a Rolls Royce service where in reality, they get a 1980s Skoda, although they are told it is a new Skoda (silly analogy I know!)
We could fund everything, but tax would have to go up and that is political suicide of course and "the powers that be" don't want to tell the truth of things.
Yes, whinges of a highway engineer aside, vulnerable people are suffering as a result of the cuts.
- Anonymous10 July 2014 at 16:57
Actually... the last govt aren't much to blame, apart from not regulating financial services properly (though, nice storytelling by the coalition). The real problem is austerity, which just delays recovery from recession, without any positive effects. (The coalition knows this, but it's a useful agenda to cut back public services, and give money back to the well-off, who get much more of a smaller pie) Check Keynes, who worked this out years ago. Or the stimulus-led recovery in the US compared to the austerity 'recovery' here..ReplyDelete

Your expertise can help you follow along with the interview procedure and also provide a better decision about the new workers to use. Besides that, zero coding experience is essential, and there aren't any format problems. Begin with the fundamentals in order to construct a good base comprehension. What's important here is to understand how I attempted to construct my undertaking.
Since do not have any notion of the code base, you will not be in a place to know things to do, or the way to guide a specific programmer into implementing the attribute. Contracting with a company does allow you to get a steady flow of work plus a reliable paycheck from the comfort of your house. There were instances when the amazing explanations provided by CryptoZombies wasn't enough. It was awful attempting to recall what I wished to do four decades past. Unfortunately it seems like it hasn't been updated for a few decades.
By the finish of the course, you'll have built a complete demonstration game from scratch. All design teams set a desire to streamline the plan practice. Maybe, numerous other teams are in the exact same boat as ours. It's possible only in the event that you get a capable and extremely motivated merchandise team. As a product manager, it is essential to learn how to code.
There are four primary measures to turning into a booming home based medical coder. The remaining portion of the program is intended to teach you the fundamentals of C. C is a really fundamental programming language utilized by the majority of operating systems now. If you know a bit of it, that is amazing. Possessing a little bit of hands-on knowledge is very advantageous in such a scenario.
If you are a complete novice, we will teach you all the coding and game design fundamentals you will want. From the close of the class you'll be very confident in the essentials of coding and game development, and eager to discover more. Over 25 completely complimentary Android growth tutorials gathered here cover everything you need to comprehend about Android advancement! Though WordPress is easily the hottest instrument and it's totally free, I'd still have to pay for some superior and more customizable themes. If you'd like to learn more about HTML, that is amazing! As a result, you have got to understand HTML scripting to place your contents onto the wiki.
In the early stages of a digital job, the communication of a theory can be challenging, and might lead to time loss due to unsuccessful discussions. Model management is something which exists for quite some time in the area of development. Whenever you make your own addPromise attribute, make the most of this asynckeyword. In larger groups, a couple of distinct women and men may work on the exact same feature concurrently.
The web site must be responsive AND adaptive. Among the very first online tools to provide free coding lessons, Khan Academy has a distinctive teaching approach which often provides instruction through gaming elements. At the exact same time you have got a single job you can do.
There are many solutions, here's a good one. Instead, it should be baked into the design procedure as a continuing design action. Upon completion of my very first course the custom of studying HTML coding was very rewarding and enjoyable. From the close of the class, you may create two simple applications that you're able to share with family and friends. Using a gigantic feature set and little instruction, you become stuck knowing where to start.
You'd understand different menus and options that affect the lighting. There are, in addition, a ton of options if you are attempting to learn a particular language or application, also.

Rabobank gets $300K grant from feds for serving distressed communities
Rabobank, N.A. said it received a grant award of more than $300,000 from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for serving economically distressed communities throughout California.
The bank is one of only 69 FDIC-insured institutions nationwide to receive the award through the Treasury Department's Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) program.
Rabobank was selected to receive the award for providing housing loans, public welfare investments, financial and community services and deposit products in Atwater, Modesto, Kerman, Coachella and Greenfield, according to a news release. The bank is required to reinvest the money in low-income communities.
"Rabobank was founded by farmers who pooled their savings to provide loans to their neighbors and communities who didn't have access to credit. It is a great honor to be recognized for continuing the principles on which our bank was founded," said Fred Mendez, senior vice president and manager of the bank's CRA Division. "This award will help us expand our services in those communities where it really makes a difference."
The BEA Program was enacted to provide an incentive to FDIC-insured institutions to increase either their level of support to certified CDFIs or increase their provision of loans, investments, and financial services in distressed communities, such as opening new savings accounts, providing mortgages or investing in local small businesses, or both, the news release said. CDFIs are specialized community-based financial institutions that are able to respond to gaps that exist in their local markets.
"The BEA Program encourages private investment in low-income and economically distressed communities across the nation," Donna Gambrell, director of the Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, said in the news release. "At a time of worrying unemployment numbers and rising poverty levels, the investments made by these depository institutions made a tangible difference in the communities they serve."

This post should not be construed as legal advice
Let's talk about something common in agriculture: abandoned property. Take this example: you own an old field cultivator, planter, pickup, etc., sitting in a field near your house. One day, someone (could be a neighbor or could be a stranger) stops by to ask about purchasing the equipment. You are happy to get it off the place, so you readily agree, the person pays you, and says he/she will stop by next week to move it off your property. A few years later, you still have the piece of equipment on your property and have never seen the person since. You would really like it off your property, but what can you do?Read More

If you're not already familiar with her crazy colourful designs, prepare to be obsessed.
We talked to the creative and influencer behind the sequinned anatomical hearts and eyeballs that you've seen scattered around social media and the infamous "stop teaching girls that boys are mean to them because they like them" jacket. Here's what she had to say about her epic life in the industry..
Tell us about yourself, your label and how it all came to be:
I'm an embroidery artist based in the UK, I started King Sophie's World in 2011 because I wanted to create wearable works of art.
I've always wanted to be my own boss, the idea of going to being a part of the traditional fashion world did not appeal to me so I made my own.
Describe your personal style in three words:
I think my style looks like I've ran through a jumble sale and picked up whatever I like.
Your designs are full of colour and feature anatomical elements such as human hearts or eyeballs, where/what did this obsession stem from?
I'm not sure, I like macabre things, I have a big poster of a skeleton and a anatomical muscle man in my work space.
Who has influenced your style and designs most?
I'm really inspired by the designer Elsa Schiaparelli and the surrealists, especially women like Leonora Carrington and Leonor Fini. I'm also inspired by people like Bjork and Dita Von Teese, their perspective on clothing as an extension of themselves, is how I look at clothing. I also like Alexander McQueen because of the theatrical story telling element to his shows.
Do you have a favourite piece/design from your collection?
I really enjoy making the anatomical heart but I'm most proud of my "stop teaching girls that boys are mean to them because they like them" jacket, as although I felt I was taking a risk in being more personal in my work its actually connected with others the most.
Describe your work place…
I try to keep it minimalist but its always fucking messy!
The last thought that kept you awake at night was…
Do you have any strange and completely irrational fears?
Yeh I do, of having a heart attack. I guess its not that strange but it triggers panic attacks in me a lot because the first time I had a PA many years ago, I thought I was having one!
What's your idea of heaven?
Being free to do whatever whenever I want, without any restrictions. I wish I had a mansion in the middle of nowhere in Scotland.
When I'm not designing I am…
Spending time with my friends. I work from when I wake up to when I go to sleep and never have a day switched off from work. Its always in the forefront of my mind!

Goldman ends talks with Panasonic on Sanyo stock1 min read . Updated: 26 Nov 2008, 09:36 AM IST
Goldman ends talks with Panasonic on Sanyo stock
Goldman ends talks with Panasonic on Sanyo stock
Tokyo: Goldman Sachs has said that it has ended negotiations to sell its stake in Sanyo, creating trouble for Panasonic's bid to turn Sanyo into a subsidiary and create one of the world's largest electronics companies.
"We have walked away from the deal because of concerns over the price and deal structure," Goldman spokeswoman Miyako Takebe said.
A Panasonic spokesman would say only that negotiations are ongoing.
Earlier this month, the presidents of Panasonic and Sanyo held a joint press conference and said that they were starting talks on a buyout deal. Panasonic has said it hopes to turn Sanyo into a group company by acquiring at least a 50% stake.
But any deal must be negotiated with Sanyo's big three shareholders, Goldman, Daiwa Securities SMBC, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., which hold preferred shares that can be converted to about a 70% stake in Sanyo.
Goldman and Daiwa hold 29% stakes, while Sumitomo's is about 12%. So a Goldman exit is not necessarily a death knell for the deal, but it means Panasonic may have to raise its offer.
Panasonic is widely reported to be offering ¥120 per share for Sanyo, below the company's current price on the open market. In morning trade Wednesday, Sanyo shares were down 1.3% at ¥154, and they have fallen by almost a fourth in value since the negotiations were announced.
If the major shareholders were to convert some or all of their shares, dilution would likely weigh down Sanyo's shares further.
Spokesmen for Daiwa and Sumitomo were not immediately available for comment.

black rectangles/
A Marshall amplifier. A hybrid electric car battery. A Braun ET66 calculator. A mortar board. A Moleskine notebook. An Apple iPhone chip. An American Express Centurion charge card. A Sony PlayStation2 console. A floppy disk. The letter "l" in the font Helvetica. An audio cassette tape. What do they have in common? Not much, you'd think, since they are so different in terms of function, price, complexity and how they were made. But they are all (various shades of) black and (roughly) rectangular.
When the German industrial designer Konstantin Grcic (that's pronounced GEAR-tichich) started thinking about the color and shape of objects he most admired, he realized that many took the form of black rectangles. He has assembled a collection of them for "Black2 (Black and Square)," an exhibition running through Feb. 12 at the Swiss Institute in Rome. Among the items he included are a gravestone, a wallet, soap, a table, a perfume bottle, a cooking pot, a television set, a cart, an accordion, a Sudoko cube, a fireplace, a laptop, a Chanel handbag, a gas tank, a bible and Prince's "Black Album," from 1987.
"How is it that so many different things made in so many different ways end being black rectangles?" Mr. Grcic asked. "They can be extremely elegant and sophisticated, or very basic, but they are such strong and powerful parts of our lives that it is impossible to imagine a world without them."

An "Easy" Way to Break Through Apple's TouchID
Someone who really wants to first steal your phone, then go through the following ordeal really needs the information that you protected. Also, still better than a four-digit pin. Of course, we are currently seeing other reasons to not use TouchID as some areas of jurisdictions can force you give up your fingerprint when you are arrested. Here's some advice, don't do anything stupid.
First, the fingerprint of the enroled user is photographed with 2400 dpi resolution. The resulting image is then cleaned up, inverted and laser printed with 1200 dpi onto transparent sheet with a thick toner setting. Finally, pink latex milk or white woodglue is smeared into the pattern created by the toner onto the transparent sheet. After it cures, the thin latex sheet is lifted from the sheet, breathed on to make it a tiny bit moist and then placed onto the sensor to unlock the phone. This process has been used with minor refinements and variations against the vast majority of fingerprint sensors on the market.

I have written what seems to be endless posts on homework … arghh!!
You would imagine that the question "does homework work?" would be easy to answer, wouldn't you? As a teaching body, we are all professionals and you would think we would be able to come up with some conclusive proof, either way to put this ol' chestnut to bed – once and for all!
But hell! No! Research concerning homework presents a fragmented picture, due to the multifaceted and complex nature of the topic e.g. what it is, its purpose, time spent, its effectiveness and then you have the government coming in and publishing best practice "guidelines" etc.
I'm going to admit to having a bit of a personal interest in homework – If I do something I need to know its purpose and be able to measure it effectiveness (call me weird!) and homework is somewhat a bane in my life – it has been a topic for one of my Masters assignments and when I have blogged about it for the past two summers I have vowed to do something differently. Personally, homework is something that school policies, government guidelines and even my initial teacher training taught me I need to do, and so it is something that I try do as part of the teaching process, but it feels a bit like "I'm setting it for setting its sake" and that it is just a fact of life.
HOWEVER … and here is the kicker … some researchers would suggest that little has been written about certain aspects of homework. There is very little large-scale valid research as to its effectiveness, and any concrete benefit, and the little that has been done was in the USA and for a relatively short period of time. What you will find is that what has been written can be easily counter-argued against with another study. Basically much of what is out there offer diametrically opposing opinions.
I could point you in the direction of:
- Research back to 1897 casting doubt on whether or not setting spelling homework made any impact;
- 1960's research looking at 17 studies which produced a mixed bag of results and some saying it made no difference;
- 1970s research looking at 5 studies: 1 showed it helped, 2 that it didn't and 2 were mixed;
- The 1980s also showed research with conflicting results (I can point you in the right direction if you're really THAT interested);
- Research in the new millennium is no different – this time the reasons for "inconclusiveness" suggest that the methodologies were flawed.
Personally I would argue that any relationship between time spent on homework, or type of homework and achievement is unlikely to be simple. I have to be honest I regularly set homework without sufficient regard as to its effectiveness. Not because I don't believe it is effective – I think that the right homework, set for the right reason has its place; I also believe that its benefits don't necessarily always come from learning "stuff" or practicing "stuff" it has other benefits like teaching self -discipline and time-management etc.,
The long and the short of it is that most parents expect some form of homework to be set. Last year I did some analysis of the amount of time I spent "administering" homework – I mean handing it out, collecting it and then chasing non submissions (including consequences) – not including the time spent writing it or marking it. Over 2 months I spent about 11% of my lesson time and that is not an effective use of my time – it sounds a lot but 6 minutes out of a lesson is nothing! I don't know about you but I value every single minute of teaching time and if you're a parent I would ask you to question your value set and whether you REALLY believe it makes a difference.
Please don't see this as me shirking or trying to get out of setting homework – given that we operate in the school system we do that values exam results (rightly or wrongly depending on your views) I would like to have the ability to set homework that works towards that end goal of making the students better "at exams", and ideally I'd like to set it when it was right to set it, and if that meant one big homework every couple of weeks, then so be it. What really worked for me last year was past papers and I'm thinking about this for my years 9 and 10 groups is this -> (Here is the post) – I'm already doing it weekly with our super group, if somewhat less formally, but next week I think I will formalise it so there is a tracker in their books.
However schools have policies which need to be followed, and follow them I will. I just need to find something for years 7 and 8 that works and that makes a difference. Our parents seems to place a value on homework, but don't like "mymaths" (which was purchased before our arrival and we won't be renewing next year! I do sometimes see it as a cop out if I'm honest!!) so I'm putting together some bespoke sheets that we'll logo up for the school too (and maybe get the rest of the department to make as they go along too ready for next year) similar to the below.
NOW IF YOU GOT AS FAR AS THE END OF THIS … WELL DONE!! I'd even bored myself!
What I really want to know is when did "homework" become "home learning" …. are we scared of the word "work"???

Although Sony's tablet line hasn't seen massive widespread success, the Japanese manufacturer has arguably offered some of the most compelling Android slates around. Last year saw the arrival of the Xperia Tablet Z2 and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact which, in spite of their wonky branding, offered high-end specs and some unique hardware tricks. In addition to being super thin, Sony's tablets were waterproof, extremely lightweight and well-built.
So what's next for Sony? At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Sony's showing the latest large form factor tablet in its Xperia line — the Xperia Z4 Tablet is a 64-bit, Snadragon 810-powered slate with a 2K display; read on for our first impressions.
The Xperia Z4 Tablet boasts an unmistakably Sony design. Just as the company's starting to bring its "omnibalance" design language to lower-end handsets like the Xperia M4 Aqua, it's continuing to push its premium build quality in the tablet space. Like the Xperia Tablet Z2, the Z4 sports a rounded outer trim, but this time it's been updated to the smoother, sleeker metallic design seen on more recent Xperias like the Z3 series.
Other trademark Sony features remain too, like the rounded power key and, for better or worse, cutout plastic flaps for the SIM and SD card slots. As before, Sony will sell LTE-capable versions of the Z4 Tablet, and these will also support voice calling through the built-in dialer app, which bears the same Sony styling as recent Xperia phones. We're used to Xperia tablets being insanely slim, but it's also worth underscoring just how thin this thing is — at 6.1mm, it matches Apple's iPad Air 2, while being lighter at 389g for the Wifi version (393g if you opt for cellular.)
So it's thin, it's light and it's waterproof — none of that is new. The big deal this time around is the new 2K display — 2560x1600 resolution— which is absolutely gorgeous. Sony doesn't match the astronomical pixel density of Samsung's Tab S devices, but it arguably doesn't need to. The 10.1-inch screen bright, vivid and clear, and when paired with Sony's image enhancement tech really shines when watching movies and viewing photos.
Sony also gets bragging rights for bringing one of the first 64-bit Android tablets to market, as the Z4 Tablet runs Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 810 processor and Android 5.0 Lollipop. Sony's Xperia UI is speedy as ever on the new chip, though we'll need to spend more time with the Z4 Tablet in the real world to get a proper feel for performance. In any case, with a 6,000mAh battery powering the whole package — and Sony's power-saving software tools at your disposal — battery life shouldn't be too much of a concern.
Lollipop is the other interesting side of the Xperia Z4 Tablet. The Z4 gives us our first proper look at Sony's Xperia software customizations sitting atop Android 5.0, and what we're seeing so far is a touch of material design complementing what was already a fairly lightweight UI layer. Everything's just a little bit lighter and more colorful, with light blue flourishes in the phone and messaging apps. Sony's settings panels have been redesigned too, with new icons and animations, and the soft keys are a bit more geometric too. It's the massive overhaul of Sony's software some may have been hoping for, but it's unobtrusive and easy on the eyes.
There's an 8-megapixel Sony camera around the back of the tablet — and while tablet photography remains a touchy subject, Sony's Exmor sensors are no afterthoughts, and have proven surprisingly capable on previous Xperia tablets. Around the front you'll find a 5-megapixel shooter for selfies.
There are no firm details available on pricing for Sony's new Android slate just yet, but given the manufacturer's history of premium pricing, we expect it'll command a relatively high asking price when it goes on sale this June.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19NEWS) -- Charlottesville residents do not have to travel far for a romantic getaway for Valentine's Day. OpenTable listed Fleurie on the Downtown Mall and the Ivy Inn Restaurant off of Old Ivy Road on its top 100 most romantic restaurants in America.
Oded Kishony and Gloria Bowers are celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary at Fleurie. They said the food is delicious, but it's the staff that truly make the restaurant.
"The staff is first rate," said Kishony. "The staff is fantastic," said Bowers. "They certainly almost make the place because they're so attentive and yet they're not in your way."
Kris Forsha, the general manager of Fleurie, said this is something for which they strive.
"It's that atmosphere and the feeling you get when you walk into the door that you're being taken care of," he said. "It kind of takes you out of the routine and the stress of normal everyday life. Makes going out to dinner an event."
Forsha said they are ready for Valentine's Day with a four-course menu and wine pairings with meals like oysters, caviar and local food, which he said they always make a point to have on the menu.
"We also really care a lot about sourcing locally and having this really holistic philosophy of what a restaurant means in the community both in supporting local farms and vendors," added Forsha
Ivy Inn Restaurant is also locally owned by Angelo Vangelopoulos. He said they are ready for Valentine's Day with a six-course menu of entrees like lobster and lamb. Vangelopoulos said what makes them so romantic is their cozy atmosphere.
"It's kind of a neat charming cozy old house," he said. "Just a really comfortable sweet place to eat and hang out."
Malcolm and Elizabeth Andrews have a tradition of coming to the Ivy Inn Restaurant on their anniversary.
"They'll write happy anniversary on your plate, or if you give them a reason to come, they'll make it a very personal experience for you," said Elizabeth.
Unfortunately, both restaurants have been booked solid for Valentine's Day this year, but you can book a romantic dinner with them any time of the year.

Guest-worker bill a problem for McCarthy
With help from Catherine Boudreau and Helena Bottemiller Evich
GUEST-WORKER BILL A PROBLEM FOR MCCARTHY: House GOP leaders are reversing on a promise to hold a vote before August recess on a conservative immigration bill that features a new guest-worker program for farmers, POLITICO's Rachael Bade reports. The move puts House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in an awkward spot as he seeks to become the next speaker. In June, he promised several rank-and-file members a vote, and the assurance was critical: It persuaded Reps. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) and Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) not to back an effort to force a vote on legislation that would have created a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. That so-called discharge petition failed by just two votes.
Story Continued Below
But now, Republican leaders have no plans to take up the guest-worker program before the summer break, four sources in leadership told Rachael, because House Speaker Paul Ryan doesn't want to call a bill to the floor that could fail.
"That was not the deal; the deal was that we're taking it up regardless," Ross said, arguing that a lack of sufficient votes to pass it shouldn't preclude the promised vote. "There are those of us need to go back [home] and show that we're doing all we can to do what we said we would do. And if it fails, it fails." Ross said more than 200 ag groups support the bill, including the American Farm Bureau Federation.
E-verify dispute: A state-level spat has also emerged, with some California Republicans and local groups at odds over one of the bill's provisions. Republicans in the big ag state are wary of backing the legislation because it includes a new requirement that all employers verify the legal status of their workers, known as E-Verify. And some agriculture groups in the state are calling on them to reject the guest-worker bill because they fear the requirement would make it too difficult to find eligible workers. The California Farm Bureau and Western Growers Association, among other ag groups, came out swinging against the legislation behind the scenes, according to emails obtained by POLITICO.
Supporters of the measure believe those groups got through to McCarthy, who keeps the House floor schedule. McCarthy's allies say the No. 2 House Republican has no problem going up against home-state agriculture interests when needed — and the decision not to hold a vote has nothing to do with the groups, they said.
"We have every intention of voting on this," McCarthy spokesman Matt Sparks said in a statement. "After discussions between leadership and a broad coalition of members it was decided more work needs to be done and should be done to gather the support necessary to pass the legislation."

SENATE COULD SOON PUSH FARM BILL TO CONFERENCE: Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts hopes today is the day senators will green-light the process of formally reconciling the House and Senate farm bills — it's just up to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's schedule. Roberts told reporters Monday night that a vote on a motion to move to conference is likely to take place either today or Wednesday. Regardless of the timing, Roberts said Congress' top four Agriculture leaders will meet on Wednesday to begin hashing out the details.
The numbers game: Roberts expects nine senators will be named to the conference committee to go toe-to-toe with the 47 members selected for the panel by House leadership.
"I am delighted that I will have 47 of the House members over to greet me with whatever advice and council they have," Roberts said, tongue in cheek. When asked what he plans to tell House Agriculture Chairman Mike Conaway about the Senate bill, Roberts simply said: "It passed 86-11."
SENATE AG SET TO VET TWO NOMINEES: Senate Agriculture today will hold a hearing on the nominations of James Hubbard, to be USDA undersecretary for natural resources and environment, and Dan Berkovitz, the administration's pick for a Democratic commissioner slot on the CFTC. Hubbard is a 30-year veteran of the Colorado Forest Service. He worked at the Interior Department and served as director of the Office of Wildland Fire Coordination and was deputy chief for state and private forestry at the USDA Forest Service.
Berkovitz, a partner at law firm WilmerHale, was general counsel at the derivatives regulator from 2009 to 2013. He was widely expected to be named the nominee for the Democratic post, which the White House announced in April. The term expires in April 2023.
Hubbard's background: More than 150 forestry and agriculture groups support him being confirmed for the role of overseeing the management, conservation and protection of the nation's forests and lands. In a letter to Roberts and committee ranking member Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the coalition called Hubbard a "career public servant with an impeccable record, and a clear dedication to both forest management and conservation."
Slow-go on Perdue's USDA leadership buildout: The hearing comes as several USDA nominees are caught up in the Senate — a delay that Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has lamented in multiple public statements. The White House's picks for major leadership roles at the department — Mindy Brashears, the nominee for undersecretary for food safety, and Scott Hutchins, for undersecretary for research, education and economics — are still waiting to receive a confirmation hearing. (Brashears was selected in May while Hutchins' selection was announced just last week).
The backlog doesn't end there. Naomi Earp was selected to be assistant secretary for USDA's Civil Rights division in February, but there's been no movement on her nomination. And Stephen Vaden, the nominee to be USDA's general counsel, has been waiting the longest: His selection was announced way back in November 2017. He's been serving in a deputy capacity since March, however.
DIVING DEEPER INTO U.S.-CANADA DAIRY TRADE: President Donald Trump's continuous criticism of Canada's restrictive dairy trade policies — a major sticking point between the two countries in the NAFTA renegotiation — has kept milk producers in the headlines. But the complex nature of the crossborder dairy trade often gets lost amid the tweets and quick-takes.
Monday's edition of MA noted Trump was correct when tweeting that Canada charges steep tariffs on U.S. dairy. The duties aren't 275 percent across the board, as he said, but instead vary by product. Canada imposes those tariffs once a set quota for duty-free access is fulfilled, and the Trump administration is trying to knock them lower as part of NAFTA negotiations. The National Milk Producers Federation contends the U.S. is still largely blocked out of some Canadian markets for dairy products.
Take fluid milk, for example. Canada asserts that crossborder customers (those who travel to the U.S. to shop) fulfill a more than 60,000 ton fluid milk quota set by the WTO, or some 17 million gallons, given the millions of day-trips Canadians take to the U.S. annually. These shoppers are allowed to return with 2 gallons of milk per car.
"We're not aware of how Canada tracks that this is in fact taking place," said Jaime Castaneda, senior vice president of trade policy for NMPF and the U.S. Dairy Export Council. "Moreover, we doubt that most other sectors of the U.S. economy would consider that they have ample trade access if they are relying solely on consumers crossing the border … to buy their products rather than being able to ship commercially to buyers."
About that surplus: USDA data shows the U.S. ran a $474 million surplus in dairy trade with Canada last year. However, Castaneda said that a "sizable portion" of those sales entered Canada under import-for-re-export programs, meaning they likely are sold back to the U.S. Castaneda's group has requested data on those programs from Canada's government, he said, but the Canadians have released little information due to confidentiality concerns.
Meanwhile, Canada's dairy industry has argued that even if U.S. exports under such programs were subtracted from the trade balance, an equivalent amount of Canadian exports also would have to be subtracted — meaning the trade balance would still favor the U.S.
Butter is better: U.S. dairy producers had increasingly sent ultra-filtered milk across the border duty-free — a notable exception to Canada's restrictive dairy market. With butter back in vogue, the milk protein left over from producing it was in large supply, and used to make cheese and yogurt. Because ultra-filtered milk wasn't an ingredient when NAFTA first took effect, it entered Canada freely. But Canada's new "Class 7" pricing system lowered the price of its own milk protein, stiffening competition with U.S. producers. The U.S. and Canadian dairy sectors disagree over whether the policy is trade compliant or not.
PEDIATRICIANS WANT MORE OVERSIGHT OF FOOD ADDITIVES: An army of pediatricians has jumped into the long-running debate over how Washington regulates (and doesn't regulate) food additives. On Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics formally called for stricter regulation of not just additives but also food contact substances and even urged parents to avoid plastic — all to help children avoid any potential health risks from exposure.
The group's new policy statement notes there is limited data on how various food chemicals affect the health of infants and children, but contends that infants and children are "generally more vulnerable to chemical exposures." The statement highlights particular concern around chemicals that can disrupt the endocrine system, like bisphenols and phthalates.
Refresh your memory: The food additive regulatory system has been under fire for many years. One of the biggest complaints has long been that the vast majority of substances used in food are self-determined by manufacturers to be GRAS and do not go through pre-market approval via a formal food-additive petition process. Under GRAS, companies are encouraged but not required to notify FDA of GRAS determinations.
Tips for parents: In addition to calling for stricter regulation, the group also made recommendations for pediatricians who are looking to help parents limit children's exposure to chemicals used in food and food packaging. The group's recommendations include that parents make eating fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables a priority. It also recommends limiting the consumption of processed meats (particularly during pregnancy), avoiding use of plastic when microwaving food and milk, including breast milk, and avoiding plastic food containers altogether.
— Impossible Burger scores win from FDA: Impossible Foods' famed 'bleeding' veggie burger has received a "no questions" letter from the FDA for its heme, a key ingredient in the burger. It's a big win for the Silicon Valley startup, which had weathered negative press coverage after the agency had questions about its GRAS determination. More from Business Wire here.
— Lighthizer to meet with U.K.'s Fox: Britain's point man for new trade deals will meet with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer today to discuss the possibility of a U.S.-U.K. free trade agreement. U.K. Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox will also raise concerns about the Trump administration's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the EU and call instead for a multilateral solution to global issues of overcapacity in those two sectors, according to a U.K. Embassy spokesman. More from Pro Trade's Doug Palmer here.
— USDA to invest $17.4 in rural communities: USDA is delivering $17.4 million in loans and grants to rural communities for projects including renovating a health center and the purchase of commercial property to house police and fire departments, USDA announced Monday. The money will be invested in 41 projects across 22 states, from Alabama to Washington, and affect more than 220,000 rural residents. Pro Ag's Catherine Boudreau has more.
— Plant-based "milk" spat could raise First Amendment concerns: The Good Food Institute, a nonprofit that promotes plant-based and cell-cultured food, is urging the FDA to carefully consider potential First Amendment concerns as the agency looks to revamp its approach to labeling standards for dairy replacement products like almond milk and soy yogurt, Pro Ag's Helena Bottemiller Evich reports. In a letter to FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb on Monday, Jessica Almy, policy director of GFI, argues that a crackdown on use of the term "milk" in nondairy, plant-based products could run afoul of First Amendment protection of free speech.
— USDA opposes global guidelines for farm animal antibiotics: The Trump administration is resisting the World Health Organization's effort to pull back on antibiotic use in livestock, Bloomberg reports. U.S. officials said the WHO guidelines are not supported by sound science, and are working to draft alternative guidelines seen as more favorable to the meat industry.
— Nature's Path quits Organic Trade Association: Organic food company Nature's Path has split ways with the Organic Trade Association over disagreement concerning a number of issues, such as the addition of members BASF, Cargill, Campbell's and General Mills, as well OTA's acceptance of hydroponics in organic food. More from Living Maxwell here.
— A message to McDonald's from animal welfare advocates: Today, four animal protection organizations — The Humane League, Mercy For Animals, Compassion in World Farming, and Animal Equality — will help deliver more than 200,000 petition signatures to McDonald's headquarters in Chicago. The coalition wants the fast food giant to commit to improved standards for chickens in its supply chains, including more space, better living conditions, and genetics that do not inherently cause suffering.
— Cutting out the middleman: California Harvesters, a worker-controlled farm collective, cuts out the traditional middleman, farm labor contractors, and directs the money normally paid to FLCs, about 5 to 8 percent, back to employees in the form of wage increases and better benefits. Some say the fast-growing collective could be a model for other industries, Fast Company reports.
— How to feed the world and save the planet: A team of scientists came up with five solutions to tackle agriculture's harmful impact on the environment while also ensuring that a growing global population will be fed. Read their findings in National Geographic.
— L.A. mourns loss of beloved food critic: Jonathan Gold, a Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer and critic who was widely hailed as an ambassador for Los Angeles, died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 57 from pancreatic cancer. The L.A. Times remembers him here.

Donor Spotlight: Ranjit and Sara AhluwaliaNovember 15, 2016
Editor's note: We're pleased to highlight the sixth in a series of profiles that highlight qualifying gifts for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Global Health Matching Grant. This dollar-for-dollar match is reserved for gifts that support priority areas for the Duke Global Health Institute: education programs, graduate fellowships, faculty support, and international partnerships. Unrestrictive gifts for use at the discretion of the Institute director may also be given.
Ranjit Ahluwalia has remained connected to Duke in various ways since he graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics in 1997. But now that he's more settled in his family life and career—he has three young children and he's a senior investment professional at a private investment firm—he wanted to do more.
He and his wife, Sara Ahluwalia, were looking for a way to give back to Duke that would align with their overall giving priorities of children's health, education and welfare—specifically closing the achievement gap. When they shared these priorities with the Duke Forward campaign, they learned about the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI).
Ranjit and Sara were inspired by what they heard about DGHI's research and student programs and their potential positive impact on people in low and middle income countries. One of the projects that piqued their interest was an effort by DGHI associate professor Wendy Prudhomme-O'Meara to improve the quality of a mobile-phone based malaria testing device in Kenya. They were drawn to the project because O'Meara and her team were making a real, concrete difference in diagnosing malaria.
Sara, who is particularly drawn to maternal and child health, noted, "Thankfully, our kids are healthy and thriving. We're fortunate to live in a country that has a great health care system, but not everyone is that lucky."
Impressed with the fieldwork opportunities DGHI offers undergraduate global health students, they decided to invest in experiential learning so more undergraduates could have the chance to learn the skills and gain the experience to help them make a difference in the world. They established the Paul Singh Ahluwalia Fund for Global Health in memory of their son.
"We were thrilled to find an area within Duke that spoke to us and our philanthropic goals," Sara reflected.

If you're lucky enough to have one more chance to squeeze in a vacation this summer we at Long Island Foot & Ankle Group, PC want to suggest that you remember to pack a bag for your feet. No, it won't take up a lot of space in your luggage but you may be surprised to find that having a few small items on hand can make your vacation much more enjoyable—cause if you're feet aren't happy it's hard to have a good time! Be sure to include the following:
- Moleskin—it's a good idea to bring comfortable shoes that you've had for a while when going away on a trip as opposed to brand new ones, but even shoes that are tried and true can start to rub if you are walking longer distances than you normally do for sightseeing or shopping. Cutting a small piece of moleskin and putting it over a sore spot before a blister forms can prevent you from having to cut the day short. Have at least two pairs of shoes with you so you can trade off if one starts to hurt your feet.
- Flip flops—public places where people walk barefoot are breeding grounds for fungi and bacteria. Wear flip flops for the pool, changing areas, spa and gym to protect your feet from athlete's foot and fungal toenails. Don't wear flip flops for sightseeing or other walking outings, however, because they provide no support and increase the risk of tripping and sprains.
- Water bottle—you might wonder how this helps your feet but staying well hydrated helps flush excess fluid from your body and reduces edema or swelling of your feet and ankles.
- Mini first aid kit—have a few bandages, antiseptic wipes and antibacterial ointment to treat minor cuts or scrapes on your feet or in case you do end up with a blister that pops. This will help prevent an infection.
- Nail clippers and emery board—file or trim any toenails that develop a jagged edge to prevent them from catching and tearing on your socks. Remember to trim nails short (but not too short) and straight across. This will help prevent ingrown toenails, particularly if you will be doing a lot of walking.
If you do injure your foot or twist an ankle while you're away, seek medical help promptly. Use the RICE method: rest, ice, compression and elevation until you can get to a doctor. Once you return, contact our Valley Stream or Lake Success office and make an appointment for one of our foot and ankle surgeons, Dr. Russell Caprioli, Dr. Mary Ann Bilotti, Dr. John Haight or Dr. Marzana Mleczko to check that the injury is healing properly.
