London Shipping Week
This LISW we will be looking at maritime trade in transition. The maritime industry is confronted with a bewildering, and widening, web of demands to keep their businesses profitable, safe and compliant. Uncertainty and sudden changes in economical and geopolitical arenas is the new normal globally. For the maritime sector the fast pace of technological development, impact of geopolitical events, adapting to incoming environmental regulation as well as ongoing economic uncertainty, presents challenges in maintaining profitability at a time of increasing risk.

Reward Trip | 10 pers | Cape Town - South Africa+ view
Zimbabwe is a young country. Independence in 1980 saw the reconciliation of the many disparate groups as one people, building one nation. The development in the country's infrastructure has been astounding and industry, agriculture and tourism continue to grow at a steady rate.
Zimbabwe's most important treasure lies in its great wilderness areas. Almost 13 percent of Zimbabwe's total area is preserved for wildlife. Lake Kariba, which, as part of the Zambezi River, makes up the Northern boundary with Zambia, does not only produce Zimbabwe's main supply of power, but is also a popular wildlife destination. The Lake's water flows from the mighty Victoria Falls – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The local people call the Falls Mosi oa Tunya – "the smoke that thunders." The importance of the country's wildlife heritage has been realised and a great effort is being made, throughout the country, to preserve its diverse environment.

Recently I saw the post on the VMware PowerCLI site regarding the new feature of the latest VMware HTML5 web client fling that allows you to capture the PowerCLI code from your actions on vCenter Server. In previous versions, it was called Onyx, but according to the website's website, the latest version of the HTML5 web client fling was named "code capture".
As you can imagine, there are a lot of usecases and many reasons to capture vCenter Server activities in the PowerCLI code. One of the most important automation usecases. First, let's take a look at the VMware HTML5 Web Client Fling PowerCLI Code Capture to see how we can set it up and perform code capture operations to test it.
Install HTML5 Web Client Fling
We have not had a full HTML5 Web Client so far), we are officially using vSphere 6.7 Update 1 now.) HTML5 Web Client Fling is a great way to test the progress and development of HTML5 Web Client Fling as a new feature that has been added. To access the HTML5 Web Client, you can simply go to the following site and download it:
Fling is an OVA device that can easily be deployed in your existing vCenter environment. Fling is a technical preview. They are not used for production. However, you can install it for trial and testing purposes. This software is used with the least amount of resources:
- 2 vCPUs
- 4096 MB of memory
After launching the software, you will be logged in to the fami interface, which is located on the 5490 port. Login with the following username and password:
- user: root
- pass: demova
After login, configure the connection between HTML5 Web Client Fling and vCenter Server. One point is that do not do the mistake that I committed. Do not log in the first time in your sso account configuration, as it will cause your login to fail. You must enter your own root password in vCenter VCSA.
The vSphere Client Web server is initially launched on the VMware HTML5 web server
Capture VMware HTML5 Client Fling Power Cli Code
After initializing vSphere Client Web Server, you will be taken to the vCenter interface, which contains capture codes, which will identify the red dot that your account information shows.
The result of the PowerCLI code will be the following:
# —— Start of code capture ——
Gets VI server connection by a given server update.
Gets a VI server connection by a particular instance of the server instance from the default connected VI server collection.
function Get-VcConnection ([string] $ VcInstanceUuid) {
$ DefaultVIServers | Where-Object {$ _. InstanceUuid -eq $ vcInstanceUuid}
# —– ChildType —–
$ _this = Get-View -Id 'Folder-group-d1' -Server (Get-VcConnection -VcInstanceUuid ' e2e21bd8-8e92-4b75-948b-9de6ddb7405e ')
$ _this.ChildType
# —– CreateDatacenter —–
$ name =' TestDC '
$ _this = Get-View -Id' Folder-group-d1 '-Server (Get-VcConnection -VcInstanceUuid 'e2e21bd8-8e92-4b75-948b-9de6ddb7405e')
$ _this.CreateDatacenter ($ name)
# —— End of code capture ——
As you've probably noticed, based on the kyle ruddy entry on the VMware PowerCLI website, the PowerCLI code is based on built-in objects and methods used, the code is very low. However, according to a website, research is underway to upgrade this low-level code to PowerCLI cmdlets, which we're used to using PowerCLI one-liner and the like. An interesting point is that although this code is a functional code, it may even be a bit more complicated than that needed for automation purposes.
These are the great steps provided by VMware to provide an easy way to see how the UI functions are powered by the PowerCLI code and for many purposes, such as learning to create code for automation, and so on. You can copy the code from the code generator to your favorite ISE for PowerShell. At the bottom, I copied it to Visual Studio, and after testing the data center, I tested it and went ahead. it's interesting!!!!!
The new version of VMware HTML5 Web Client Fling The PowerCLI Code Capture in Fling has a great performance to generate PowerCLI code from a variety of actions. Setting up fling using OVA methods is very simple on the FAMI interface on the 5490 port.
The generated code is relatively low, however, again, the map referred to for functionality that was expressed by the official VMware PowerCLI posts may have the features upgraded to PowerCLI cmdlets in the future. This is definitely an excellent tool for learning and automation purposes in the VMware vSphere environment. Check out the new HTML5 web client fling and generate your PowerCLI code easily.

Nolte: Brian Ross and 15 Others Whose Anti-Trump Mania Cost Them Their Media Jobs
Brian Ross lost his job at ABC News this week. Here are 15 others in the media who lost their jobs due to anti-Trump zealotry.
Brian Ross lost his job at ABC News this week. Here are 15 others in the media who lost their jobs due to anti-Trump zealotry.
Brian Ross, ABC's longtime investigative correspondent, is leaving the broadcaster after his erroneous report on former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
"Iger, where is my call of apology? You and ABC have offended millions of people, and they demand a response," Trump wrote. "How is Brian Ross doing? He tanked the market with an ABC lie, yet no apology. Double Standard!"
President Trump released his Fake News Awards Wednesday. In the spirit of this historic occasion, Breitbart News came up with a few journalist awards of its own.
The establishment media have closed 2017 by proving President Trump 100 percent correct about their massive fake news problem.
During a speech in Pensacola, FL on Friday, President Trump argued ABC should have fired "fraudster" Brian Ross and CNN "should have been apologizing for the last two years." Trump said, "[D]id you see all the corrections the media's been
As though we do not already have enough proof that the American media is nothing less than a rolling clown car packed with deviants, sycophants, and propagandists, in His infinite wisdom and generosity, the Good Lord used all of last week to reveal once again just who these terrible people truly are.
A convenient leak sprung up at ABC News and now the whole world knows that ABC is really very angry at disgraced reporter Brian Ross.
Media Research Center Vice President of Business and Culture Dan Gainor joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Monday to discuss ABC's suspension of reporter Brian Ross for his erroneous reporting involving the Mueller investigation.
President Donald Trump continued to ridicule ABC News and their reporter Brian Ross for a false report about Mike Flynn's cooperation with the Russia investigation.
Joy Behar gleefully broke Michael Flynn news live on 'The View' but the report was based on false reporting by ABC News' Brian Ross.
Late Saturday, ABC News announced it was suspending network investigative reporter Brian Ross four weeks without pay for an inaccurate report that aired Friday. The report claimed Donald Trump had directed his eventual National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to contact
Friday on ABC's "World News Tonight," network investigative reporter Brian Ross backtracked on his initial report claiming former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had promised "full cooperation" with special counsel Robert Mueller and was prepared to testify that "candidate" Donald

Celebrating "Create a Great Funeral Day"by M-Gillies
As the Doyenne of Death, Gail Rubin said, "Funerals are the party no one wants to plan."
With October marking the end of summer and toeing the line between fall and winter, the days of celebration are approaching. All across the world, October is celebrated for its remembrances of the dead. From Halloween's Neopaganism roots of Samhain, which marked the evening when the souls of the dead wandered the realm of the living, to the Christian remembrance of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, and the celebratory festival of el Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the last days of October are certainly a period of reflection.
However, while these days of momento mori encourage many to take part in celebration of the souls who once resided harmoniously in the land of the living, October also marks the celebration of another day. Preceding el Dia de los Muertos and Halloween, October 30th will be the 12th annual "Create a Great Funeral Day".
Created by Stephanie West Allen, author of the book Creating Your Own Funeral or Memorial Service: A Workbook as a means of recognizing life celebrations, "Create a Great Funeral Day" is a time of the year which asks people to reflect upon their lives and remind people of all the many benefits of creating their own funeral and memorial service.
"Many people feel really gratified if they create an event that reflects what they think the deceased would have wanted," said Stephanie West Allen. "When people think about death, whether they think about theirs or someone else's there's a whole body of psychological research about what people do when they think about death."
And while the subject may be cringe-inducing and uncomfortable to think about, often exposing mixed reactions, the process of creating a "great" funeral is by many standards psychologically beneficial. With death being an emotionally exhausting event, from planning arrangements, financial considerations and the tribulations of losing a loved one, the importance of pre-planning a funeral is crucial to providing loved ones with the proper closure.
Allen, who based the concept of her book Creating Your Own Funeral or Memorial Service: A Workbook understood the implications firsthand upon the death of her mother in-law.
"When my husband's mother died, even though they were very close, he didn't know what she would have wanted," she reflected. "In addition to grieving, he was left with the additional stress of trying to figure out what kind of service she would have wanted, and during that time I started writing the book. I thought this would be a really great gift, for people to give the ones left behind, that outlines what their wishes are so that they don't have to be left wondering."
While the main focus of Allen's workbook is geared toward families, she said, "It's helpful when a person creates their own funeral because they often find a lot of wisdom in living the rest of their lives. It's very much for the person as it is for the family."
This is incredibly important when considering the amount of work involved in organizing a funeral. When it comes to funeral planning, many people are unaware of the process that is required, which encompasses preparations of deciding on whether the body is to be cremated or buried, where the final resting place will be, whether a columbarium niche is required or if a scattering of ashes in a sentimental location will take place. Other decisions also include determining the location of a family will, the disbursement of inheritance, the cancelation of paperwork and ensuring the proper forms are filed for final taxes and assessments of the estate.
While this can be challenging for some, the task becomes even more daunting during a period of emotional distress. It takes away from the remembrance of a person and hinders the ability to reflect on finding closure. And while "Create a Great Funeral Day" may have seen mixed reactions a decade ago, Allen has noticed that as the times are changing, so are the reflections of the people.
"I think that's why my book is getting less resistance and more people are looking at it," Allen said about the populace of baby boomers. "The boomers are doing it. The boomers are the do-it-yourselfers, they had their own way of doing anything, they did their own weddings, they're going to do their own funerals, and that's just now starting, so they're going to have a huge impact."
So what is a great funeral and how can you create one?
There is no right or wrong answer. A great funeral is the funeral which most accurately reflects who you are and of what you want your legacy to remind people. Funeral pre-planning isn't necessarily about death but rather the celebration of a life. It gives family and friends an opportunity to reflect upon the person, share fond memories and remember how that person affected our lives positively.
So, for "Create a Great Funeral Day" it's important to remember that creating a great funeral isn't about death, it's about creating a lasting memory.

Funding your studies is something that every Masters student will have to think about. With fees, living costs and often travel to pay for, the costs can stack up. 2015-16 Sustainable Aquaculture MSc student Julien Stevens found an enterprising way around this - crowd funding his research. Offering to 'pay it forwards' through community service giving dance lessons, tutoring and mentoring and environmental cleanups, Julien raised over half of the funds that he needed for his Masters.
It paid off for Julien: after traveling from New Zealand to Scotland to complete the Masters, he is now working in Hawaii as a Researcher and Outreach Coordinator for Kampachi Farms. Along the way, he published a high-quality paper from his thesis on increasing the value of aquaculture through utilising by-products.
Julien is also the star of a new GAA video on the lives of three young fish farmers living on the Big Island of Hawaii, what "being Hawaiian" means to them and how farming fish for their respective companies affects their interaction with the islands.
Julien is a great example of how students can use novel and enterprising ways to reach their goals, and achieve success along the way!

When it comes to the economy, Lagos can be said to be the heartbeat of Nigeria.
Not for nothing is Nigeria described as the giant of Africa. The country is not only ranked sixth in the league of crude oil exporting nations, globally; it also stands first in the continent.
In terms of population, Nigeria occupies the seventh position oi9n the world, with an estimated number of 180 million, and first in Africa.
Housing a number of 36 states, with one of them being Africa's 7th largest economy, Nigeria prides itself as Africa's largest economy, even though it does not reflect in the lives of its citizens.
Be that as it may, we shall be focusing on states with the largest economy in Nigeria.
Here are the five richest states in Nigeria
1. Lagos state
When it comes to the economy, Lagos can be said to be the heartbeat of Nigeria. The state is not only known to have the largest economy in Nigeria, it also prides itself to have the 7th largest economy in the continent.
Situated in the South-Western zone of the country, Lagos State has a meagre land mass stretching up to 3, 577 square kilometers. And despite its small land mass, Lagos State remains the most populous Nigerian State with its total population estimated at 18 million inhabitants.
Significantly, Lagos State is Nigeria's major centre for commercial activities, standing at $4,333 for its per capita level while a total of $33.679 billion is recorded for its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
2. Rivers state
Rivers state is the second richest state in Nigeria. It covers the area of 11.077 square kilometres with an estimated population of 5.2 million people.
The region is rich in vast reserves of natural gas and crude oil that consist more than 60% of Nigerian crude oil output.
As a matter of fact, every oil and gas company in the country has its presence in the city of Port Harcourt, which is why oil generated revenue contributed in placing the state at the number two spot despite its average population of 5.2 million relative to other states.
The total GDP of the state is $21.073 billion, per capita is $3.965.
3. Delta state
Delta state is also located in the southern region of Nigeria. It covers an area of 17.698 square kilometres with an estimated population of the state is 4.1 million people.
The state is one of Nigeria's state with the largest deposits of natural endowments such as industrial clay, silica, limestone, lignite, kaolin, tar sand and lots more. It also has one of the largest deposits of crude oil and natural gas in Nigeria
Economically, Delta State has a total of $3, 990 as its per capita level coupled with $16.749 billion as total GDP.
4. Oyo state

Flower Children's t shirts aren't exactly my style; but there is no denying that their bohemian illustrations, luscious ink/t shirt blank color combinations, and overall branding is anything short of beautiful. "The Psychologist" conjures a scene of M.C. Escher tripping on LSD, doodling the initial sketch of "Relativity." Most designs are available in both guys and girls cuts, and there's even a Flower Children skate deck. If you head over to the Flower Children online shop now, you can take advantage of incredible sale prices (ranging from $5 - $12) and free shipping.
Take a moment to check out the Richie Jackson x Flower Children shop as well - I need to order "Cryptoglyph" before it's too late.

3 things I learned in Hawaii
While I'm away in China, I'll be taking a unintentional hiatus from blogging, social media and work thanks to China's censorship laws. During my time away you'll be hearing from some of my good friends in the blogging world. Welcoming Hazal, from The Gentle Life.
I'm not a tropical island, "oh my god how gorgeous is this 42 degree day" kind of girl, or a sunbake for three hours and then go shopping for four hours kind of girl either – so basically I thought I was going to hate Hawaii.
I booked the holiday very late on a work night, on a whim and decided it was a spontaneous and fun move, kind of like ordering those $300 shoes from net.a.porter except it was half way around the world, required a visa and half my annual leave. And it's true, there were days on my trip that I prayed for a portable air conditioner and craved tim tams, but for the most part I fell in love with Hawaii because of the things I learned during my short trip there.
Let me share them with you!
The Aloha Spirit
I had heard people mention this prior to my trip and then commence to make 'hang loose' signs with their hands to express the 'Aloha Spirit'. I thought that Tourism Hawaii's marketing team should get a raise – until I met a man who epitomised the phrase and I scolded myself for my cynicism.
During our exploring, we met a 72-year-old former Japanese citizen, now full time Hawaiian taxi driver who had the language of a sailor and the skin of a young Brad Pitt. He was amazing – so expressive and so… chill. Stuck in peak hour traffic, I asked him whether he ever got frustrated with Waikiki's stilted traffic. He just turned around to me, waved his arms around and said (in an accent reminiscent of Owen Wilson's), "nah man, we're going to get there eventually, what's the point in getting worried? It's no problem. We get there when we get there; I have the best job in the world. It's all about the aloha spirit".
He told us a lot about his story; he exuded strength, grace and a childish playfulness that I loved. I think about him often and hope that when I get older, I'm something like that guy.
The Mountain
Halfway through our journey, we packed our bags from our gorgeous Waikiki apartment and headed to Kauai, the most underdeveloped island of Hawaii. We stayed in a plantation turned hotel that was home to lizards on the ceiling, chickens in the yard and mosquitoes everywhere. Instantly, I craved the comfort and familiarity of our apartment – something was irking me and I didn't figure out what it was until much later.
The next morning, I opened our room's door and truly appreciated the gorgeous mountain that the plantation looked on to, and realised what it was that was making me feel so uncomfortable. It was so quiet. No neighbours calling after their pets or phone's ringing, no slamming of car doors or the rattle of trucks going by. Absolutely nothing. And I liked it.
The Local
On a particularly hot day in which I was planning on avoiding the beach all together and seek comfort from the searing heat by shopping for things I definitely didn't have enough room for in my luggage, I decided to bypass the shops and sit on the beach for a moment.
There I saw a man who seemed to me, like the most content person I've ever seen on beach, potentially ever. Singing to himself in a language I didn't understand (I assumed Spanish?), playing with his adorable dog and generally looking satisfied and happy with life. Obviously, I had to sit near this interesting character and get the low down – why was he so happy? What's his secret? We got chatting and later it was revealed to me that he was actually having a pretty crappy time of it; someone who I was drawn to simply due to the perception that he was having a jolly good time of it.
A quote comes to mind, "keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you", because in that moment – why not embrace the beauty of it all?
End note:
The thing I love most about travelling are the experiences we have that can change our perceptions or simply provide some food for thought. No matter the destination, our journeys will always be different. Hawaii for you might be entirely different than Hawaii for me, so no matter where your travelling takes you, happy adventuring, friends.

Hey Pumpkinvine Blog!
My name is Isabela Torres, and I am interning with the Friends of the Pumpkinvine this summer. I was raised in Goshen and graduated from GHS in 2015. I've been attending Amherst College in Massachusetts where I've majored in Environmental Studies. I'm excited to get to learn about the ecology of Northern Indiana and the opportunity to use that knowledge to contribute to the management and future success of the nature surrounding the trail.
I will be doing a variety of things with the Friends this summer, and you will probably see me out on the trail, posting on the Facebook page, or volunteering at the annual bike ride (for which registration is still open!). I'm super interested in learning more about the history and politics of the trail, along with how management styles have changed as the parks departments became more involved over time.
In summary: I'll try to contribute to this blog consistently throughout the summer for anyone interested in seeing what I've been up to. Thanks for reading!
--Isabela Torres
PS. Here is what I look like so if you see me digging up plants along the trail you'll know I'm supposed to be doing that -- if you see me around in Goshen (or at Los Primos where I work in the evenings) feel free to stop me and say hi!

In November I posted about splitting an Apex Report into multiple columns. This solution involved some JavaScript code to be included and called from the Apex page.
So here is my first (public) plug-in, Report2columns.
One of the comments I got was a question whether the items could also be sorted horizontally. With a small number of rows the current code can result in less columns than specified. I decided to implement this feature:
I also realized that creating a plug-in would make it much easier to implement this functionality. No need to add JS code, call this code at some point and figure out the right value for the parameters…
So here is my first (public) plug-in, Report2columns.
The easiest way to get the plug-in is om the Plug-ins page of apex.world:
To use it:
- import the plug-in
- create an After Refresh trigger for your report
- chose the action report2columns [Plug-In]
- enter the number of columns and the sorting direction
That's all there is to it.
Happy Apexing

I'm sorry, but she's not the star...
With very rare exceptions in North America, serial productions made for TV in Europe are on occasion released to cinemas in easier to digest morsels for international audiences, of which Ingmar Bergman may be king of the mini-series.
His roster of TV productions edited down into feature-length versions include Scenes from a Marriage (1973), cut down from 5 hours to 2.5; Face to Face (1976), 3.5 hours distilled to 2.25; and Fanny & Alexander (1978), reduced from 5 hours to an Oscar-winning 3 hour version.
More recently, the 3-part crime drama based on Stig Larsson's first three Millenium novels - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (all 2009) - were theatrical distillations of a longer 6-part series than ran on Swedish TV, and Olivier Assayas' Carlos (2010) was similarly knocked down from 5 hours to just under 3 for cinemas.
... They are.
So there's nothing unusual with Mysteries of Lisbon / Mistérios de Lisboa [M] (2010), Raoul Ruiz' epic of unfortunate circumstances and poor social behaviour, which has been condensed into a 4 hour feature film from a 6 part Portuguese TV mini-series. I've uploaded a review that addresses its pros and cons at being shorter, and a link to a French interview with Ruiz, conducted a few months prior to his death.
As a film, the pacing is variable in spots, but as an HD experience, it's absolutely stunning, with Ruiz' deceptively simple visual style paying off on the big screen. The film begins its run at the TIFF Bell Lightbox November 11, with a 10 minute intermission, but you might want to avoid heavy coffee consumption that day.
Just a suggestion.

Czecho (aka The Czech Republic) is a small, highly cultured, enterprising and design-conscious country and I generally like what I see (outside of the politics). It's a way of life that's mostly familiar, mine, and yet not. Some features of daily life are kinder than I know from London, others are exaggerations of trends here. Exaggerations are always useful pointers to what may not otherwise show up at home. Take the cinema we wandered into a couple of weeks ago. The first thing it made me realize, because the satisfaction wasn't there, was that the rows of seats in empty auditoriums had always offered me a pleasure in anticipation. Be it cinema, playhouse, concert hall, lecture theatre, when I enter I'm looking forward to the combination of discipline and self-abandon entailed in sitting there and letting myself be confronted by something. So, just imagine the opposite experience that came our way in Prague. Someone had the postmodern idea that filmgoers judge rows of seats to be offputting, and so every third perch or so, and above all irregularly, they had taken out a seat or two and substituted a few deckchairs, or a bean bag.
You could see what the idea was, somehow to make people feel more at home while watching a film (since that's where most of us do our viewing now.) If your cinema seat has a bean bag in front you can put your feet up. Choose a deckchair and you can recline at any angle you want. The most spectacular seating option in Bio Oko, Prague 7, was an open-top yellow sports car, parked at an angle to the screen. Sit there and you might pretend you were watching a drive-in movie somewhere in the American mid-West, rather than Prague on a rainy Saturday.
The car began to worry me even more than the irregular seating, for it seemed to effect a curious transfer of the action away from what we were there to view together in public and towards providing parallel private experiences for every customer. The car brought a dramatic prop off the stage and into the auditorium. Potentially it upstaged the drama on screen and prompted another inside my or your head. The new arrangement of the cinema ceased to offer public entertainment and was offering what the customer was used to at home: living extendedly in his or her own private fantasy.
True, that's only what's always been going on when an audience watched a spectacle in public or listened to music for the last two and half millennia. We all bring our highly individuated consciousnesses to the stories and lessons we are confronted with. But when Aristotle thought about the effects of Greek tragedy he at least found a formula for the general effects of the occasion on those watching, such that they had some experience in common. What Aristotle meant is disputed, but one prominent and plausible interpretation is the idea that whatever excess of emotion we have inside us when we enter the tragic theatre, hatred, jealousy, pride, etc., when we leave the play will have quietened us down and left us more reasonable, more able to consider different ways of conducting our affairs, rather than being driven by an overweening passion. It's only now with my experience of the deckchairs and the bean bags that I come to think the orderly rows of seats in the Greek theatre, which entertainment and teaching in the Western world took as a spatial model ever after, had its correlative in a sense of the value of civic order amid the private emotional chaos.
Civic order has to do not only with a willingness to submit to a certain regularity of behaviour in public which is more or less narrowing, compared with the liberty enjoyed behind closed doors. It endorses a sense that we can come together, as creatures amenable to reason. Reason shouldn't be defined too narrowly. It's more than logic. Here for instance it includes the willingness to share emotional experience collectively. It gets us out of our selves. Subtly it increases our trust in strangers, prompting the assumption that they understand the turmoil we all go through in private and that we have this struggle with order and objectivity in common and can make allowances for it in each other. As such reason, or the ability to get outside ourselves, massively enhances what culture means, as a refined way of co-existing. Surely when Shakespeare put on a play he didn't imagine its contents only being funnelled into individual heads as a private experience. When he multiplied the theatrical metaphors within the plays he showed over and over how important a shared awareness of the power of spectacle was to bring greater clarity to a community.
Fifty years ago the French writer Guy Debord worried about the whole of society become a spectacle, so that an independent sense of reality vanished. This was the anxiety which amongst other things the age of television introduced. But today the worry has to be of a body politic so subjectivized, in the manner of its response to consumable experience, and on its travels through amenable spaces, that individuals can't imagine what it would be like for experience to be communal and space public, constrained by reason, order and, embracing both of those impulses, objective.
I don't want to put forward Aldous Huxley as a great writer, but he did have some good ideas about his times, which are still our own. In Brave New World (1932) he already imagined the cinema experience transmuted into 'the feelies', whereby you and I and a host of strangers would sit relishing whatever sense experiences the occasion would waft our way, and then leave, without there having been a common object of experience among us to criticize and debate. Orgasms for all, but without anything shared, one might say. No culture in that.
The deckchairs and the bean bags in a Prague cinema desperate to increase its revenue may seem mild in their implications for postmodern Western society compared with Huxley's scifi moralizing of eighty years ago. But think of Google's hyper-subjectivizing Glasses, that are about to come upon us. Industry defenders who say they simply make what can be done on a smart phone 'less socially disruptive' (Drew Olanoff, reviewing Glass for the Techcrunch website) dangerously miss the point. Even more do those who worry about those glasses taking pictures of their wearers and broadcasting them across the globe and thus infringing their users' privacy miss the point. (After all, one doesn't have to wear them.) The real danger is this. Just like phones, and now much more so, devices that steer our eyes away from immediate reality and on to virtual screens really would threaten the bond between society and the ongoing consciousness of individuals thus deceived into believing they are not part of it. For millennia it was no accident that reason, and truth, were linked with what could be seen with one's own eyes. Give up the direction of consciousness outwards, on a truth-seeking mission, and you give up the quest for reason and truth.
As a visual indication of what threatens us now the Prague cinema deckchairs and beanbags seem to me spectacularly telling. And no, pace Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, defending Google Glass at a talk at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in April 2013, I'm not just someone old who can't adapt or can't see how society will adapt. I'm all too worried it will adapt. The purveyors of hyper-indivualized experience threaten to destroy our capacity to recognize the necessity of any order other than our intimate own, and count on our sybaritic lethargy not to object.

Kia ora Koutou
What an inspiring two days Kat, Jennie and I had on Friday and Saturday. We attended the Positive Education Conference in Christchurch. A whole conference around how we can embed positive education and wellbeing into our schools. This is a passion of mine, and great that we can start thinking about what this looks like at Omihi. Part of our strategic plan is to include wellbeing into our programmes, so we will keep you informed with our progress with this.
The first thing we are going to be looking at is Character strengths in term 2. If you have time, have a look at the website www.viacharacter.org and find out what your strengths are. As a society we focus a lot on academic, sporting, and The Arts strengths, but we believe our character strengths are so important. Important for us to identify and important for us to celebrate. Have a chat with your children about it. We look forward to our many conversations with them about this next term. We will be looking for people in our community to share their character strengths with us. If you know of someone that would be interesting for the children to talk to, please let us know.
A big thank you for all of your support this term. We have had an exciting and busy term with so many new children and staff and are very much looking forward to a lovely break in the holidays, and then back into more inspiring learning in term 2. George and I are heading off to the wild West Coast for some adventures!
Nga mihi

School Notices
Omihi School Farm Race
Thank you so much for helping us to raise over $10,000 from our farm race! What a huge achievement and so amazing to have our school buzzing that day. We have received loads of great feedback, so will be returning next year bigger and better on Sunday 24th March, 2019. We are looking for a major sponsor to come on board. If you know a company that I could approach, please let me know. Any sporting brands would be great, or someone who wants to get their name out there.
Celebration of Learning Assembly
We welcome our community to the Celebration of Learning Assembly this Friday at 2pm. All children will be sharing their learning from this term.
Mufti Day - Ronald McDonald House
We have a mufti day tomorrow on Tuesday 10th April to raise money for Ronald McDonald House. Please send along a gold coin donation.
When I started at Omihi last year, one of my main priorities, other than growing the school, was around working with ERO to make the improvements necessary to update our current ERO review and have it signed off. The great news is we had our final meeting last week and they are very happy with the progress and the way the school is heading. We look forward to sharing the new document with you when we receive it at some stage in term 2.
ANZAC Day Service
There is an ANZAC day service across the road at the domain on ANZAC day. Unfortunately I can't be there, but we would love for some of our children and families to be a part of it. Please let me know if you are able to go along.
Community Library
Feel free to make use of our community library, drop books off and come and have a look at our adult section. Or you are welcome to order books to be delivered here. Yo is our volunteer librarian. She is going to be away next term, but I can help you, or our student librarians.
Year 7/8 Technology at Hurunui College
This starts week 1, term 2 every Monday morning. We will be in touch with parents regarding pick up and drop off times.

Please refer to our school calendar for all school events. It is updated until the end of the year. If you would like me to share it with you so you can have it on your phone, just let me know.

A Star is Born (2018)
It's really best when I let a movie simmer in my mind before I try to write about it. After watching all four A Star is Born's (not an easy thing to say, I've found), the new film felt immaculate stylistically and stripped a fair bit of husband worship from the film, and I was enthralled. From Matthew Libatique's perfectly hued concerts and the nervous excitement of the first performance of "Shallow," Bradley Cooper's reinterpretation is more cohesive than Judy's and Lady Gaga's musical progression makes far more sense than Barbra's. I feel like it could have been the start to Gaga's career if that connection could ever happen in real life.
Unfortunately Lady Gaga's popstar rise as Ally, her character is sidelined in favor of the more dramatic downfall of Bradley Cooper's alcoholic, drug addicted Jackson Maine. The early lack of confidence highlighted in the trailer's nears the end of Ally's development as she tackles with her talent hidden behind a large nose. Once she breaks through with an impromptu, utterly gripping performance of future Oscar-winning song "Shallow" and a beautifully captured piano-based performance of "Always Remember Us This Way" where we see Lady Gaga's captured performance looming over Cooper in the rhythm section. After her career begins, we stop seeing anything from her character, making Glenn Close's chance this fall more plausible. It's exciting to see that her performance in American Horror Story: Hotel–which won her an acting Golden Globe to which Leonardo DiCaprio laughed at in the shittiest move of the last 40 years–was just as flat as the rest of that season, and with a role she can dig into, there's some real acting talent. A bathtub verbal lashing is a later moment that allows her to shine, but Ally takes backseat to Cooper's descent.
And it's a juicy descent. One of the most difficult parts of men directing themselves, particularly early in their career, is a tendency to glorify themselves (imagine it: male ego captured on film; how could they avoid glory: looking at you Chris Evans in Before We Go and John Krasinski in The Hollars). Bradley Cooper went the other way, full character and man on the downfall. Between the gravel voice–contending with older brother Sam Elliott, an influence of regret further drowning Cooper in a shallow tumbler–and the embarrassing behavior, the director and co-writer may have delivered his greatest role. He is drunkenly enamored with Ally until she usurps his spotlight, and the hateful energy drips out like every Norman Maine before him. During the demise of their relationship, Gaga becomes the devoted wife with a bit more gumption than her predecessors, but Bradley Cooper adds a full on man in decline that the previous iterations likely couldn't breach. It's not quite the stellar recreation I could have hoped for, but A Star is Born 2018 allows for growth on a time-worn story without breaking the mold.
Lee shifted styles scene by scene: the silhouetted faces of students being inspired to revolution, cut sequences to balance the Klans' viewing of D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation with the student union's solemn attention to recollections of the worst that film inflamed. BlacKKKlansman could have been better serviced by a more rhythmic editor, and the cinematography from Beyonce's Lemonade contributor Chayse Irvin drowned out scenes more than it expanded their impact. The film rose above visual perfection and produced a rough, memorable, impactful vision of American race. Jordan Peele's power as producer, helping to bring this powerful of a film to White America, may prove unstoppable. From Alec Baldwin's flubbed hilarity in the opening to the Charlotteville footage proving that America hasn't changed as much as 2008-2016 fooled us into believing, BlacKKKlansman will stand as one of the best films of 2018.

David Leonhardt at NYT:
How much do your kindergarten teacher and classmates affect the rest of your life?
Economists have generally thought that the answer was not much. Great teachers and early childhood programs can have a big short-term effect. But the impact tends to fade. By junior high and high school, children who had excellent early schooling do little better on tests than similar children who did not — which raises the demoralizing question of how much of a difference schools and teachers can make.
There has always been one major caveat, however, to the research on the fade-out effect. It was based mainly on test scores, not on a broader set of measures, like a child's health or eventual earnings. As Raj Chetty, a Harvard economist, says: "We don't really care about test scores. We care about adult outcomes."
Early this year, Mr. Chetty and five other researchers set out to fill this void. They examined the life paths of almost 12,000 children who had been part of a well-known education experiment in Tennessee in the 1980s. The children are now about 30, well started on their adult lives.
On Tuesday, Mr. Chetty presented the findings — not yet peer-reviewed — at an academic conference in Cambridge, Mass. They're fairly explosive.
Just as in other studies, the Tennessee experiment found that some teachers were able to help students learn vastly more than other teachers. And just as in other studies, the effect largely disappeared by junior high, based on test scores. Yet when Mr. Chetty and his colleagues took another look at the students in adulthood, they discovered that the legacy of kindergarten had re-emerged.
Students who had learned much more in kindergarten were more likely to go to college than students with otherwise similar backgrounds. Students who learned more were also less likely to become single parents. As adults, they were more likely to be saving for retirement. Perhaps most striking, they were earning more.
All else equal, they were making about an extra $100 a year at age 27 for every percentile they had moved up the test-score distribution over the course of kindergarten. A student who went from average to the 60th percentile — a typical jump for a 5-year-old with a good teacher — could expect to make about $1,000 more a year at age 27 than a student who remained at the average. Over time, the effect seems to grow, too.
The economists don't pretend to know the exact causes. But it's not hard to come up with plausible guesses. Good early education can impart skills that last a lifetime — patience, discipline, manners, perseverance. The tests that 5-year-olds take may pick up these skills, even if later multiple-choice tests do not.
David Shenk at The Atlantic:
For those who still need proof that great teachers matter, the NYTimes has an excellent piece today by the economics columnist David Leonhardt about an "explosive" new study showing great kindergarten teachers have huge effects on future success and well-being. Leonhardt quotes one economist as estimating that a top-notch kindergarten teacher is worth $320,000 per year.Early development matters. Parenting matters. Schools and teachers matter.
Ryan Avent at Free Exchange at The Economist:
Economics Nobelist James Heckman has found that the earlier one pursues efforts at remediation with underperforming students the more effective the interventions are. And studies have indicated that while the academic knowledge gained from remediation programmes tends to fade, social knowledge is more durable (and it may well be more important over the long-term). In general, it seems like the importance of educational reforms at the secondary and undergraduate level is wildly overstated, while the importance of improvements in education at the primary level (and earlier) is given far too little attention.
The findings haven't been published yet, and I imagine it will give us far more to chew over. For now, I have some tentative thoughts:
* Standout kindergarten teacher isn't terribly specific — of the teachers in the survey, how many would be considered standouts? The study tracked 12,000students . Roughly speaking, let's say this amounts to 600 classrooms and 600 teachers. Were there 100 standouts? Or 10? I'd love to see the curve. Highlighting the standout teachers might give us a misleading picture of the scale of the challenge.
* How much is a standout parent worth? Some children wil generate a great deal of tax revenue over a lifetime. Should we, in light of this fact, give more generous tax subsidies to parents with the characteristics the best predict high future earnings for their offspring? I imagine the answer is no — this would strike most observers as unacceptably illiberal. But improving incentives for parents, as Robert Stein and Ramesh Ponnuru have recommended, seems like a pretty good idea.
Leonhardt offers a few immediate responses:
They can pay their best teachers more, as Pittsburgh soon will, and give them the support they deserve. Administrators can fire more of their worst teachers, as Michelle Rhee, the Washington schools chancellor, did last week. Schools can also make sure standardized tests are measuring real student skills and teacher quality, as teachers' unions have urged.
Others are less nuanced than Leonhardt. Erik Brynjolfsson, an MIT economist I greatly admire, writes the following:
We would be better off if we paid our teachers a lot more, and attracted more of the best and the brightest to this profession.
Note that while Leonhardt suggests we pay our best teachers more, Brynjolfsson suggests that we pay all teachers a lot more. But again, how many teachers were standouts? And were the standouts drawn to the profession for the cash compensation? One can imagine compensating teachers by giving them more autonomy and flexibility, or by limiting the number of disruptive students.
Rather than offer blanket pronouncements on how much teachers ought to be paid, we need to give more thought to allowing more business model innovation in the education sector. As new compensation schemes emerge, we'll eventually learn more about what works and what does not.
Where does the amount $320,000 come from? It's "the present value of the additional money that a full class of students can expect to earn over their careers." And that's not counting the social and psychological values that may flow from excellent early schooling. But salaries aren't calculated by the actual benefit the employee bestows on the clients. If it did, there would be some negative numbers. But what if kindergarten teachers were very highly paid? Different individuals would pick kindergarten teaching for a career….
In fact, it seems a bit hard to believe. If kindergarten teachers matter as much as this new research suggests, then you would think that parents would have a large influence on their kids' adult outcomes. After all, you spend a lot more time with your parents than in your kindergarten class. But much research in behavioral genetics finds very little evidence for significant parental effects. (See Judith Harris's The Nurture Assumption.) So I am puzzled.
However, as I read the story and the findings it is based upon, some questions crept into my mind. I relate them not out of any desire to discredit the study, which is enterprising and newsworthy, but simply as a warning to parents and policymakers not to go overboard. Yes, good teaching is important. But the key policy issue is raising average teaching standards throughout the education system, not simply seeking out and rewarding exceptional kindergartens. In affluent areas of New York City, parents' efforts to capture every possible educational advantage for their young children have already reached absurd levels. If this new research is accepted as gospel, I can already see admissions officers at snooty private schools waving it in the air and saying to parents: 'Look, I told you our $30,000 fees were justified. Where else can you find a kindergarten teacher with a Princeton Ph.D. in Victorian literature?" (In the public sector, meanwhile, the teachers' unions will cite the new research in support of higher pay claims, ignoring the fact that it doesn't even address the issue of whether higher pay leads to better-quality teaching.)
All this emanating from a dense academic article that hasn't been published or peer reviewed. At this stage, there isn't even a working paper detailing how the results were arrived at: just a set of slides. Why is this important? Because economics is a disputatious subject, and surprising empirical findings invariably get challenged by rival groups of researchers. The authors of the paper include two rising stars of the economics profession—Berkeley's Emmanuel Saez and Harvard's Raj Chetty—both of whom have reputations for careful and rigorous work. However, many other smart researchers have had their findings overturned. That is how science proceeds. Somebody says something surprising, and others in the field try to knock it down. Sometimes they succeed; sometimes they don't. Until that Darwinian process is completed, which won't be for another couple of years, at least, the new findings should be regarded as provisional.
A second point, which is related to the first, concerns methodology. In coming up with the $320,000 a year figure for the effects that kindergarten teachers have on adult earnings, the authors make use of complicated statistical techniques, including something called a "jack knife regression." Such methods are perfectly legitimate and are now used widely in economics, but their application often adds an additional layer of ambiguity to the findings they generate. Is this particular statistical method appropriate for the task at hand? Do other methods generate different results? These are the sorts of question that other researchers will be pursuing.
From the perspective of someone whose statistical education didn't extend much beyond rudimentary probability and econometrics, a few things struck me about the evidence that is presented in the slides. The study confirms that smaller classes have a significant impact on test scores, which was the primary conclusion of the original Tennessee study. And the correlation between kindergarten test scores and later life outcomes—not just earnings, but also home-ownership values, and even death rates—seems to be pretty robust. (See Figures 3a to 3f.) However, the relationship between test scores and earnings doesn't necessarily have much to do with the quality of teaching. It could simply reflect students' innate ability, the impact of other students in the class, or other unknown factors.
The researchers try to control for some of these factors, but they can't rule them out. In arguing that individual teachers play an important role, they rely on evidence that is somewhat indirect, which is inevitable because the Tennessee experiment wasn't set up to study the impact of teacher quality: quite the contrary. It was designed to gauge the impact of smaller class sizes regardless of who the teacher was. Unlike their students, the kindergarten teachers didn't get graded; consequently, the new team of researchers didn't have any data on whether specific teachers were good or bad. They were forced to rely on student test outcomes as an indicator of teaching quality. Effectively, they assumed that if a given a kindergarten class achieved outstanding results its teacher must have been responsible. In many cases, this may well have been true, but we have to take it largely on trust.
