In the current New York Review of Books, Joyce Carol Oates quotes Adam Thirwell quoting Guillaume Apollinaire. Apollinaire says, "When a man wanted to imitate walking, he invented the wheel, which does not look like a leg. Without knowing it, he was a Surrealist." That's Apollinaire above.
Alternate translations substitute "resolved" for "wanted to" but either way this notion strikes me as just plain silly. The person who invented the wheel surely wasn't trying to imitate walking. He or she was trying to improve on walking, trying to invent something that could do various things that legs didn't and couldn't possibly do.
Equally, it always has to be remembered that the wheel can't do one very basic thing that a leg, or at least a pair of legs, very obviously can – the Dalek problem – how to conquer the universe if you can't use stairs.
Still, what's most interesting about Apollinaire's remark is that it seems to prefigure Marshall McLuhan's description of the ways in which technologies are extensions of man: the camera an extension of the eye, the computer an extension of the central nervous system, and so on. But, says McLuhan, the technology isn't neutral: it changes us. We design new tools, and then the new tools redesign us. McLuhan also talks about amputations as well as extensions. Our eyes see with less precision when we have a camera to do our seeing for us: the culture of walking withers as the cultural of the wheel thrives.
But you known I'm not absolutely sure that new technologies necessarily lead to complete amputation, of even necessarily to atrophy.
Take the example of synthetic materials: once they'd been invented there was never again any absolute need for natural materials. We could all dress in nylon, drink from Styrofoam cups, sit on plastic furniture, and sometimes we do those things, but not all the time.
In the same way, you might say that after the invention of the bicycle there was no need for anybody to walk, and after the invention of the car there was no need for anybody to use a bicycle. But the issue is that that human needs are peculiar, contradictory and not quite rational things.
Of course I'm not going to walk five miles to buy a new washing machine and carry it home on my back, but walking a mile or two to buy a magazine or a cup of coffee strikes me as completely reasonably, if obviously not always necessary. I'm not imitating the wheel: I'm walking for the sheer hell and pleasure of it.
It seems that walking was often on Apollinaire's mind, especially in relation to his lover Marie Laurencin. One of his poems is "Le Pont Mirabeau," written after they'd broken up, that being the bridge he had to walk across to get to Marie's place. Another is called simply "Marie," and the last lines run
Je passais au bord de la Seine
Un livre ancien sous le bras
Le fleuve est pareil à ma peine
Il s'écoule et ne tarit pas
Quand donc finira la semaine.
Which translates, fairly freely, as
I walked on the banks of the Seine
An ancient book under my arm
The river resembles my pain
It runs but it never runs dry
When will it be the weekend again.
Here's Rousseau's portrait of Apollinaire and Marie Laurencin:

San Diego holds off conference foe BYU
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Johnny Dee scored 19 points, Ken Rancifer added 16 and San Diego snapped BYU's three-game winning streak with a 74-68 victory Thursday night.
Chris Manresa chipped in 10 points, and he and Dennis Kramer grabbed 10 rebounds apiece, for the Toreros (13-12, 6-4 West Coast), who shot 50 percent from the floor and overcame 20 turnovers.
Conference scoring leader Tyler Haws led the Cougars (18-7, 8-3) with 27 points, and Brandon Davies had 20 points and 10 rebounds. Matt Carlino, the reigning WCC player of the week after a 28-point performance in Saturday's win over Pepperdine, scored nine points and had five turnovers.
San Diego led the entire second half, but BYU pulled within 67-64 on Haws' two free throws with 3:32 left. But Chris Anderson scored on a layup, then made two foul shots, to give the Toreros breathing room before Dee iced the win with three free throws.

How to Calculate Monthly Lease Payments
however, is it true that interest is not charged on the tax? So, in effect, it is the same as paying tax on the payment (even if calculated differently, if the end result is the same, it doesn't matter). As long as interest isn't charged on the tax, there is no benefit paying it up front, which was the poster's question. Correct?

If the tax is capitalized, then it will be subject to interest charges as it is included in the gross cap. Below is a lease I constructed almost two years ago in Ohio...

PS: Anything that is capitalized in a lease, taxes or otherwise, is going to be charged interest.0
Thanks for all the info. A little over my head.
So paying upfront and paying monthly is essentially the same?
Only asking because I have 2 lease offers: 1 w/ all fees/taxes rolled into monthly payments and the other with much higher upfront costs including tax w/ lower monthly.
the higher upfront cost sounds cheaper in the long run but maybe i'm missing some additional fees.0
Given that a car is a depreciating asset and the cost of money is relatively cheap, I wouldn't part with any money upfront. Just roll it in with the lease.
Thanks for the advice!0
I don't believe the tax is capitalized in NJ. At least, I can't find any evidence that supports that.
So that OH lease you pasted, I can see that, if interest wasn't charged on the tax, the payment would be about 60 cents less. AFAIK, if you did that same lease in NJ, the payment would be $220.38.
Maybe I'll see if my sister can bring over her lease contracts we did a few weeks ago so I can take a look.

Tax can be capitalized at the lessee's request. I have constructed several lease proposals for individuals in the State of NJ over the past three (3) years and have never had a problem with any of the NJ dealerships doing this. They really don't care and neither does the State of NJ. Either way, NJ will receive the tax payment upfront. The fund provider simply advances the dealer the cash to pay the taxes and the lessee re-pays the tax, included in their lease payment, over the term of the lease.
If you have any questions about the lease contract, please let me know.
I'll be glad to address them.

Is this a good deal?? :confuse:0
I'm having a tough time following your posts. I thought you used the term "capitalized" to mean the total the interest is charged on. The simple question is, "does NJ charge interest on the tax if you don't pay it up front?"
I'm saying no, because that's what I've read. Are you saying yes or no?

NJ collects the tax upfront...
If you wish your bank to pay the tax and then add the amount to your capitalized cost, then you will certainly pay finance charges on that amount...
NJ doesn't care.... they always get it upfront...
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

NJ does not charge interest on the tax if it's not paid upfront because they're not the entity that funds the lease. It's the fund provider that charges interest on the tax if it's not paid upfront because the tax is financed (capitalized) in the lease. NJ does not finance leases. Banks and manufacturer finance subsidiaries (e.g., American Honda Finance, etc.) finance leases.
I didn't actually mean the state of NJ. I meant in NJ. I am well aware NJ isn't charging interest like a lender.

Hello everyone:
So, I'm trying to practice my calculations before going to the dealer today, but something doesn't add up. For the lease special offered at:
with MSRP of $38,345, $725 Acquisition fee, $750 loyalty rebate, and $3,624 first month (including $2500 down, $725 acq. fee and $399 first month payment), I get monthly payments of $412 (pretax and excluding license and reg), when I use 0.0013 for money factor and 0.6 residual factor for 10,000 miles per year. (these are the values currently offered by BMW financials).
Here is my calculations:
Net Cap Cost = 38345 (MSRP) + 725 (acq. fee) - 2500 (down payment) - 725 (acq. fee paid upfront) - 750 (loyalty rebate) = 35095
Month depreciation = (35095-23007)/36 = 336
Interest = (35095+23007)*.0013 = 76
Total = 336+76 = 412
The only way that I can $399 seems to be if I include first month payment in "cap cost reductions", to bring the net cap cost down to $34696, which reduces the monthly depreciation to
$325 and the finance charge to $75 (total ~$400). But including first month payment in the "cap cost reduction" doesn't make sense to me. If I do that, should I then divide the total depreciation by 35 instead of 36 (since one month is already paid)?
Am I missing something?
Thanks much0
What you are missing is the selling price of the vehicle... You aren't going to pay MSRP, are you?
There is an unspecified dealer discount in the advertisement...
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

Thanks kyfdx.
No, in reality I will negotiate and get (hopefully) a much better price than MSRP. I was just trying to practice to get the numbers posted on their website right.
So, there's a hidden discount somewhere. That makes much more sense.0
melech37 Posts: 18I was planning on leasing a Volkswagen CC probably next month, But when I look at the very substantial incentives ($3500) available in April I'm feeling some pressure to do it now. I'm concerned that VW may not extend the incentive into May.
Does anyone know what rationale the car makers use in keeping or pulling incentives from month to month? Is there any public source that can accurately estimate the next months deals?
Here's our VW CC Lease Questions discussion:
However, there is NO source that can tell you what next month's incentives will be. These aren't published anywhere because they would influence buying patterns, and also, because sometimes incentives are based on previous months' sales.

Have a few questions on the sales tax on a lease quote I received for a 2013 Pathfinder Platinum Premium - 3 year/36K . I will list my details below but the total sales tax the dealer calculated on their lease worksheet came out higher then my calc. I am leasing in NJ.
Cap Cost : 41,000
Acq Cost : 595
Rebate: 675
Adj Cap Cost 40,920
Residual: 54%
Money Factor: .00056
The total sales tax that the lease worksheet I have is $1,351.20. I am coming in a little less then that if I base my tax calculation off of the total amount that I am technically "borrowing" which would be 16,811.70. Let me know if you have any insight on this topic.
Greetings isas1981!
Yes, I do have some insight on the way taxes are computed in NJ as it is done the same way in Ohio. What I need to know is your NJ sales tax rate.
Hi delta737h,
The tax rate in NJ is 7%0
Something is missing. Did you capitalize the first payment and/or tax into the lease? If you email me the dealer worksheet, I'll be able to see exactly what's going on with this lease.
John - Send me your email address and ill scan it over to you.
Here's my email...

drt222 Posts: 9Hi everybody,
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Here's the offer I have:

Purchase option: 16266.80
Residula: 48%
They didn't give me the MF but they came up with a monthly lease payment of 399 with $0 down and 1st month free for a 39 month lease period.
Is that a good deal?0
Hi - this discussion is for more general questions about leasing, and calculating the lease payment itself. For info on what specifically constitutes a good deal on a particular vehicle, you're better off posting in a discussion about that vehicle: VW CC Lease Questions

donuts3 Posts: 3Hi. Am looking at leasing for the first time ever. I have some interesting (good?) money factors , ranging from .0013 and .0016 for various crossovers (i haven't decided which one I like - OUtback, Santa Fe, CX5, Sorento), and residual values from about 59 - 63%. I am looking for 36 - 42 mo, 10K - 12K mi, and $0 down. Some of the monthly payments are around $350. I really would like to get this down closer to $300. is the only number I can push on the Sale price of the car, without having to put money down? I thought that money factor was unable to budge, but a friend just suggested it may be.
Also - is it common/uncommon/advisable or not to ask for service contract to be thrown in?
stever Posts: 52,462A reporter is looking for new car lessees. If you leased a new car in the past few months, and would like to share your story, please email your daytime contact information to [email protected]0
steamroll9 Posts: 14I would like to trade in my car in and lease a new car. New job, less money, better benefits. I do still owe money on the car but have about 13-14k equity in the car. Would like to use a little of the money towards a new car lease and pocket rest of the money so I can supplement my income. I know that you get less for trading in vs. selling privately, but to add the tax to the trade-in amount to see if it is worth it just to sell privately.
Question is, for the amount of money I will receive for my trade-in, the tax on the amount will far surpass the amount of taxes on the lease. What happens with the excess taxes? Applied to the lease? Or will I loose it? Thanx!0

Search engines come and search engines go; some become extremely popular and others never do. Today there are really one two globally popular search engines, Google, and Bing, which is built by Microsoft. The most recent noteworthy change in this landscape is Yahoo! which formerly used their own technology but is now based on Bing. Yahoo is still included here as it provides somewhat different features compared to Bing itself. Blekko is the newest major search engine, which uses slashtags as their gimmick, slashtags being handy shortcuts for making more sophisticated searches.
Traditionally a web search engine crawls the web to find web pages, indexes them by keyword, and presents a list of the best pages for your search query (a more detailed description can be found in the Wikipedia article linked to below). Most search engines today do this, but add other things in as well. They integrate other types of content (images, video, news, etc.). They often store some information themselves (or partner with a company that does) so that they can include exactly the content you were looking for before the regular search results are listed. An example of that would be showing the actual weather when searching for the weather in your location.
The search engines listed here as hybrids have their search results page made up of various components, usually combining several other search engines, other types of results (images, news, etc.) with their own results, answers, or other features. For particular details on each one, see their websites.
Wolfram|Alpha doesn't include an index of web pages or use results from another search engine. Instead they only search their own sets of curated data. Both Wolfram|Alpha and True Knowledge are more like "computing" engines, as they try to understand the actual meaning behind your query/question and calculate an answer for it, but their approach differs considerably. Wolfram|Alpha presents results with rich data and graphics and limited interactivity, while True Knowlege focuses more on being able to give concise factual answers. True Knowledge's information comes from extracting them from web pages and user-contributed facts. Ask.com is a search engine which has put a lot of focus on handling natural-language questions as well.
Question-and-Answer (QnA) websites (other than SnappyFingers) are essentially web forums where anyone can ask questions and answer others's questions. The QnA Sites listed as just links on this page are not directly searchable.
These tools search content created in the very recent past. All of them use Twitter as their primary source but most also include others as well.

ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners have claimed a decision to allow fracking to go-ahead in Yorkshire could have been taken illegally and be challenged in the courts.
Friends of the Earth and local campaign group Frack Free Ryedale have written to North Yorkshire County Council demanding answers over the way the decision was taken.
They have warned the letter could be followed by an application to the courts to have the decision overturned.
The county's planning committee voted by seven to four in favour of allowing fracking to go-ahead at a site in Ryedale following a two-day hearing last month which saw vocal protests staged outside County Hall in Northallerton.
The decision paves the way for the controversial fracking mining method to be used onshore in the UK for the first time since 2011 when operations on the Fylde coast were suspended amid concerns about earth tremors.
Environmental campaigners fear the North Yorkshire decision will encourage more energy companies to submit applications to explore for and extract gas using fracking.
In a letter send to the county council today, the campaigners argue the authority did not put enough weight on the potential impact on global warming of burning the gas extracted at Kirby Misperton.
Friends of the Earth legal adviser Jake White said: "Communities have no right of appeal against fracking decisions, only developers do.
"Friends of the Earth and local people can't appeal to get the councillors' decision over-turned.
"Given that we have legitimate legal concerns it is only right that the court may be called upon to decide them.
"Because the decision appears to have been arrived at without properly considering climate change, we believe it to be unlawful."
The decision to allow the Kirby Misperton application, which received nationwide attention, was a huge shot in the arm for the energy industry following a series of setbacks in attempts to use fracking in the UK.
The Government has given its backing to fracking, arguing it could improve energy security and provide jobs and valuable tax revenues to help fund public services.
Communities near potential fracking sites have also been offered the chance to benefit financially when wells are drilled.
However, environmental and community groups have mounted vociferous campaigns opposing fracking, arguing it poses a risk to farming and water supplies and will disfigure the landscape in areas reliant on tourism.
Lancashire County Council rejected two applications last year from exploration firm Cuadrilla. The company has appealed against those decisions and the final decision will be taken by Local Government Secretary Greg Clark.
Energy companies insist the process is safe and problems experienced overseas are the result of poor regulation.
Fracking, properly known as hydraulic fracturing, involves sand, water and chemicals being pumped into rock formations deep underground to free trapped gas.
Third Energy, the company behind the Kirby Misperton application, has said it is likely to be many months before work begins on site.

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
Calling the Azure AD Graph API from a PHP web app
This PHP sample application demonstrates how to query data from Azure Active Directory using the Graph API, a RESTful interface that allows programmatic access to tenant data such as users, contacts, groups, roles etc. This application uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials to authenticate and get authorization to the Graph API.
How To Run This Sample
To run this sample you will need: - Webmatrix http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/ - An Internet connection - An Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. For more information on how to get an Azure AD tenant, please see How to get an Azure AD tenant - A user account in your Azure AD tenant. This sample will not work with a Microsoft account, so if you signed in to the Azure portal with a Microsoft account and have never created a user account in your directory before, you need to do that now.
Step 1: Clone or download this repository
From your shell or command line:
git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:Azure-Samples/active-directory-php-graphapi-web.git
Step 2: Run the sample from WebMatrix
The sample app is preconfigured to read data from a Demonstration company (GraphDir1.onMicrosoft.com) in Azure AD.
Step 3: Running this application with your Azure Active Directory tenant
Register the Sample app for your own tenant
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- On the top bar, click on your account and under the Directory list, choose the Active Directory tenant where you wish to register your application.
- Click on More Services in the left hand nav, and choose Azure Active Directory.
- Click on App registrations and choose Add.
- Enter a friendly name for the application, for example "SinglePageApp-DotNet" and select "Web Application and/or Web API" as the Application Type. For the sign-on URL, enter the base URL for the sample, which is by default
https://localhost:44326/. Click on Create to create the application.
- In the Settings menu, choose Reply URLs and add the reply URL address used to return the authorization code returned during Authorization code flow. For example: "https://localhost:44322/".
All done! Before moving on to the next step, you need to find the Client ID of your application, and create an App Key.
- While still in the Azure portal, choose your application, click on Settings and choose Properties.
- Find the Application ID value and copy it to the clipboard.
- For the App ID URI, enter
https://<your_tenant_name>/WebApp, replacing
<your_tenant_name>with the domain name of your Azure AD tenant. For Example "https://contoso.com/WebApp".
- From the Settings menu, choose Keys and add a key - select a key duration of either 1 year or 2 year. When you save this page, the key value will be displayed, copy and save the value in a safe location - you will need this key later to configurate the Client Credentials for this app - this key value will not be displayed again, nor retrievable by any other means, so please record it as soon as it is visible from the Azure Portal.
- Configure Permissions for your application - in the Settings menu, choose the "Required permissions" section, click on Add, then Select an API, and select "Microsoft Graph" (this is the Graph API). Then, click on Select Permissions and select "Read Directory data".
Configuring the PHP sample
- Start Webmatrix, and select Open from the main screen, and select Folder, and navigate to the PHP folder of this project.
- Webmatrix will initialize the application
- Open the Settings.php file. update the $appTenantDomainName to be your tenant identifier (any verified domain owned by the tenant, e.g. Contoso.onMicrosoft.com, contoso.com etc.). update $appPrincipalId to the the Client ID recorded from previous step in the Azure portal. Update $password with the key value configured in the previous step in the Azure Portal. Save changes.
- Select Run, and try accessing Users, Groups and trying the differential query features.

Angry Obeid under fire
Obeid admits he knew of sons' coal deal but thought it 'fanciful'
They're lining up for the best free show in town
According to Eddie Obeid, we've got him terribly wrong. Yes, he was a Labor powerbroker in 2008 but with no political sway over mineral resources minister Ian Macdonald, accused of conspiring to convey tens of millions of dollars' worth of windfall to the Obeid family.
The way Obeid explained it in his first day of evidence at the ICAC on Monday, Macdonald was in the Left faction and therefore out of his sphere of influence as a leader of the dominant subfaction of the Right, the Terrigals.
''I had power in the party on my side of politics, the right wing,'' Obeid explained. ''He belongs to a different faction and a different caucus.''
In fact, while notionally a member of the Left, Macdonald had been a pariah within it since the early 1990s, following his part in a failed push to dump then opposition leader Bob Carr in favour of Peter Anderson.
Macdonald was one of a group who felt Carr too ''bookish'' to be leader. His role saw his stocks dive with the leader of the parliamentary Left faction, Andrew Refshauge.
It was John Della Bosca, a leading light within the Terrigals, who threw Macdonald the lifeline that rehabilitated his career, convincing Carr to make him a parliamentary secretary after Labor's 1999 election win.
Della Bosca's argument to Carr was that Macdonald's skill at political subterfuge was better put to work for the government rather than against it.
From that point on, most say, Macdonald was regarded as a creature of the Terrigals, increasingly spending his time with Della Bosca, Obeid, Joe Tripodi, Michael Costa and Eric Roozendaal and growing ever more distant from the Left.
When Carr retired in 2005 Della Bosca's influence waned under new premier Morris Iemma. Macdonald became closer to Obeid, an Iemma confidant at the time.
Iemma's successor, Nathan Rees, sacked Macdonald from cabinet, but Obeid told Monday's hearing he had nothing to do with Macdonald's reinstatement to the ministry after Rees was rolled in favour of Kristina Keneally in 2009, the same year Macdonald was formally expelled from the Left.
''It was on Keneally's say-so,'' Obeid said. ''The Terrigals didn't have any influence on the reappointment of Macdonald.''
Keneally, of course, was installed as premier by the Right. When pressed, Obeid conceded: ''We thought [Macdonald] was a good minister … We had no objection to him.''
In private hearings, the commission heard, Obeid has insisted he helped out Macdonald when he was under stress. ''I suppose he leant on me to sort of be someone to talk to. To work things out.''
It's a relationship set to be explored in greater depth when Macdonald is called by the commission to give evidence later this week.
Sean Nicholls is the State Political Editor of The Sydney Morning Herald.

Well, MY Childhood Is Ruined
[singing] "M-I-C..."
I see BOOBIES!
[sobbing] WHY? WHY? WHY??
"Mic-key, O-M-GEEEE!"
[crickets chirping]
While we all struggle to cope with this assault on our inner child, I have a few questions:
1. Is Mickey protecting the boobies? 'Cuz he looks like he's going, "Whoah, whoah, whoah, there, kids! Nuthin' to see here! Move along! Ha-hyuck!" (Wait, that's Goofy's laugh, isn't it? Sorry. I guess Mickey's is more of a "Hoo-HOO!" WHICH IS TOTALLY APPROPRIATE, DON'T YOU AGREE?
2. Why is Mickey sitting on a big red dot? Is that the panic button? Because, I mean, if *I* had a panic button, I would totally be clicking it right now.
3. Boob cakes are usually made for bachelor parties. That's not a question; I just want you to think about that for a minute.
(Look, at some point this gets so disturbing that it rounds the bend back to "funny" again. I'm just doing my part to get us all to that point.)
And finally, and most importantly:
4. Does Minnie know about this?
Thanks - I think - to L.P., whose only explanation was, "It's hard to explain." Do tell, L.P. DO TELL.
Thank you for using our Amazon links to shop! USA, UK, Canada.

About the course
In order to achieve Qualified Teacher Status, you will be assessed against all parts of the Teachers' Standards which you gradually accumulate the evidence for this assessment during your teaching practice in school. Additionally, there are three Masters' level assignments to write during your training and they help to link theory to the practice of what you are doing in the classroom. A strength of the SCITT Tuition course is the range of placements that you undertake during your training. As a trainee you are in school from the first week of September observing experienced classroom practitioners and are gradually introduced to your own teaching timetable with one to one guidance from school tutors and also from your SCITT Tutors. Centre based training is delivered by a range of classroom practitioners, experts in specific areas e.g. SEND, headteachers and local and national consultants. You have your first placement in one school for all of the autumn term; spring term is spent in a second school and then you return to the first placement school for the summer term until the end of June. This placement structure provides you with a breadth of experiences to help inform your choice of the type of school you wish to work in as a newly qualified teacher. We will aim to organise placements in school which are local to you and will provide you with a high quality support and we ensure that we work closely with our partnership schools, for example, all mentors receive one-to-one mentor training from us as a provider.
Interview process
After your application is shortlisted by a team of subject specialists, you will be invited to a formal interview. This consists of a subject knowledge test, reflective task and a small presentation to the interview panel.
If successful at interview, you will be invited to the final part of the process known as Task Day which will be held in Norwich and Ipswich. You will complete group activities with other trainees, deliver a very short presentation and complete a couple of written tasks and you will be observed by senior members of the SCITT Team.
If you are successful at Task Day you will be invited to a school placement interview in one of our partnership schools which are local to you and this interview will be organised by as a provider.
This will give you the opportunity to observe the ethos and context of your potential placement school. As we are working with a SCITT provider, it is important that we involve our partnership schools in the recruitment process.
How school placements work
We will consider you for a training place in one of our local partnership schools, taking into account your home address and travel arrangements, as well as ensuring you have a high-quality school placement.
Most trainees train in subjects within the 11-16 age range but there is also the opportunity to train in the 14-19 age phase in specific subjects. Partnership schools take part in the recruitment process which means that all training arrangements are in place by July, ready for you to attend your placement school on the first day of term in September.
Centre based training takes place in venues in either Norwich or Ipswich (can attend the closest venue to you) and this is approximately in six week blocks throughout the year and in addition there are subject knowledge days to attend which are mainly delivered in partnership schools across the two counties.
Financial support
You'll get a bursary of £26,000 if you have a degree of 2:2 or above in any subject.
You don't have to apply for a bursary - you'll automatically start receiving it once you begin your course. Find out how you'll be paid.
- GCSE English and Mathematics Grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)
Level 2 Adult Numeracy and Literacy are not equivalents.
- A UK first degree (or equivalent). Honours Degree, normally 2.2 or better (or equiv. 360 CAT points)
If your qualifications were not gained in the UK, you can visit the National Academic Register Centre (NARIC) website to find out whether your qualifications are equivalent to UK GCSEs and degrees. Please note that the responsibility is on you to prove that your qualifications are equivalent and you must include a NARIC statement with your application verifying this.
Personal qualities
We find that successful trainees have a passion for their subject which they wish to pass onto secondary school students. Trainees should be motivated, well-organised and demonstrate resilience. Trainees should understand the importance of developing strong learning relationships with teenagers and can demonstrate that they view teaching as a valuable career. Additionally trainees should be reflective, able to take respond positively to feedback about their progress during their training year and also value being part of a team.
Other requirements
A satisfactory enhanced DBS check before commencing training. Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT will arrange this.
If an applicant has lived overseas for more than six months in the past five years in line with safer recruitment practice they will be required to provide a certificate of good conduct from that country.
Applicants must pass the professional skills tests for literacy and numeracy before the start of the course.
About the training provider
Our motto is 'Success for All'.
Ofsted judged our school as being outstanding, providing a very positive environment for learning which successfully supports the excellent academic and personal development of our students. We are very proud that they recognised not only the outstanding academic success but also our belief that the education for each student extends far beyond this, as they grow as individuals.
About the accredited body
The Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT Tuition programme has very high attainment and employment outcomes for our trainees. On average 65% of our trainees are outstanding and 90% of trainees are employed by the end of their training year. Trainees are supported by school mentors and SCITT Tutors who have a range of experience in schools in as either headteachers, members of senior leadership teams, classroom practitioners so have a wealth of experience to share with trainees. The Secondary SCITT Tuition course is a highly personalised course which offers a range of opportunities to trainees.
Training with disabilities and other needs
We are committed to supporting trainees with disabilities in partnership with our Accrediting Providers Suffolk and Norfolk Secondary SCITT and UEA .
Please contact Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT directly to discuss any access requirements for the courses that we offer with them.
UEA operates an equal opportunities policy and welcomes applications from people with disabilities. All PGCE trainee teachers must meet the Secretary of State's requirements for physical and mental fitness to teach. All candidates offered a place are required to complete a health declaration form. If this reveals a need, UEA will consider reasonable adjustments, which may include particular school placements, and other support and monitoring during the course.

Bethesda announced today that Kinect voice support is on its way to the Xbox 360. You can see some of that in action in the above video. It's a neat idea, and I can see how a lot of the voice commands could be really useful.
The Shouts make the most sense in terms of how you might integrate voice support into the game. After all, this is the one and only way your character actually speaks (with a voice) in the game. It's natural to use the Kinect to Shout.
And yet...I just can't see myself actually sitting in my living room issuing commands in an ancient dragon language, whether or not I'm dragonborn. Could I pronounce the Shouts properly to begin with? Could I do it with a straight face? Or would my wife simply laugh at me to the point where doing so would be utterly impossible?
No, I can see the equip commands and the follower commands being quite useful; navigating the map even more so. But Shouting ( or shouting rather) at my Kinect only happens when it keeps screwing up and not seeing my motion commands. I mean, I'm right there. I'm waving, damnit. Can't you see me waving?
The Kinect is a neat innovation, but nothing beats a controller - except a mouse and keyboard.

It's been over a decade since The Demigodz released a project. Helmed by Apathy and Celph Titled, the geographically scattered collective once included notables such as Louis Logic and L-Fudge, but has had an ever-changing series of lineups heard in feature roles since. The current personnel includes Esoteric, Styles Of Beyond's Ryu, Blacastan and Motive, and together the 'Godz embarked on a proper full-length studio release in KILLmatic. Now removed from the Underground Hip Hop magic hour at the turn of the millennium, the group doesn't make music that sounds like basement studio sessions anymore. All accomplished soloists, the crew flaunts a grimier, more enhanced sound with those same carefully crafted couplets.
If the title was any indication, KILLmatic merges two things—seedy subject matter and Golden-Era style. References to David Berkowitz, porn runaways, dirty apartments and more litter this album. As expected, Celph and Ap share chemistry emblematic of their history, finding similar outlooks on each song, and shining when left to their own devices on "Captain Caveman" and "Tomax & Xamot." Blacastan carves a sharp verse on "Can't Fool Me," driven by cadence. The other 'Godz are role-players with on an album that doesn't focus on concept nearly as much as style. To some, this is Everyman music from artists with the antithesis of Everyman abilities.
In a group of microphone bullies, one of the understated takeaways from KILLmatic is production. For Apathy, the emcee who enlisted names such as DJ Muggs, Da Beatminerz, DJ Premier and others on his 2011 Honkey Kong album has clearly been a diligent student. Hard drums on "Can't Fool Me," needle-drops on "Dumb High" and the dense layers of "Dead In The Middle" show the versatility and skill of one of the more under-recognized emcee/producers in the game right now. Will C. shines on "Tomax & Xamot" with shredded '60s Psych samples and dirty drums that are enhanced by Chumzilla's scratches. In fact, Premo's contribution, "Worst Nightmare" blends in with the other works akin to the iconic producer's jewels on the original KILLmatic. While lyrical similarities extend through associated crews like Army Of The Pharoahs, Get Busy Committee and CZARface, the music on this album helps distinguish the Godz, all to their advantage.
Before they wore padlocks and wielded bats, Naughty By Nature were non-descript dope as New Style. Before Fergie and the harmonic choruses, will.i.am and apl.de.ap were channeling sparse Good Life vibes as the Atban Klann. Groups change with the times. Although Apathy and Celph have stayed the course on their brand of bravado, the Demigodz of today are different than the late '90s Bad News Bears of beats. The additions of Blacastan, Ryu and Motive help hone the group towards a more aggressive side, upholding its constant of showy lyricism that was heard on the vinyl singles and compilations from a decade ago. Nearly every song has a scratch chorus. The verses are to the brim with girl-stealing, face-punching, and similes that only a studied Rap fan might get. However, KILLmatic is hardly dull, and never redundant. Instead, this is an album that was made by fans, for fans. It's apparent that while so many crews call it quits before getting off the group, the Demigodz are a fraternity. They have fun making the music, and any listener can absorb that energy and draw closer as the record spins.

Young little Sarah has always wanted a throat stuffed full of big cock! Well be careful what you wish for honey, you're gonna get it! She swallowed his entire organ whole and then he poked her tonsils until she gagged. She was covered in spit and sweat as she worked on milking his balls dry. He continued to pound down her throat and then finally covered her in his man juice!

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (6-17, 4-8 OVC) fell to the Tennessee State Tigers in five sets. Tech lost by the scores of 25-22, 25-16, 20-25, 20-25 and 17-15.
"We started off a little slow," head coach John Blair said. "We were not doing the things we have been working on and it cost us in the first two sets."
The opening set began with the Tigers owning a slight edge over the Golden Eagles at 9-7. Late in the set Tech managed to stay close to TSU at 23-22, but the Tigers were able to put the first set away at 25-22. Senior outside hitter Leah Meffert paced the Golden Eagles with five kills.
The second set remained close early on with TSU again holding a slight lead at 9-8. The Tigers then went on a 16-8 run to take the set 25-16, and a two-set lead into the break.
After the break Tennessee State got off to a quick start as it took an 11-7 lead early. With their backs to the wall, the Golden Eagles responded quickly with a 12-7 run to take a 19-18 lead. Four kills, and a few Tiger errors sealed a 25-20 Tech win in the third set.
With their newfound energy, the Golden Eagles flew out in the fourth set as they built a six-point lead at 16-10. Just like the third set, Tech was able to maintain its lead as it took the fourth set by the score of 25-20.
The final set saw a back and forth struggle in which neither team led by more than two points. Tied at 14, the Tigers were able to get the next point only to see the Golden Eagles tie it right back up at 15. TSU was able to hold off Tech as it took the final two points to win 17-15.
Meffert paced the Golden Eagle offense with a season-high 26 kills, while hitting .381. Senior setter Melanie Culp added 44 assists and 11 digs, while freshman defensive specialist Allison May produced a game-high 19 digs.
"We still need to get more consistency from across the lineup," Blair said. "TSU knocked us out of our rhythm early, but we recovered in the third and fourth sets. Credit them for recovering in the fifth set."
Tennessee Tech continues its road trip Saturday, as it takes on the Austin Peay Lady Govs at 2 p.m.

Our personalized ribbon will add a custom touch to your party or wedding favors, making your day truly memorable! Printed ribbons are an exceptional addition to any of our DIY wedding favors. They will look absolutely stunning knotted around the top of any of our glass candy jars, tied in a bow around our favor boxes, or wrapped and glued around the brim of a favor pail. Even if you have already purchased packaged wedding favors that are ready for gift giving, you can always replace the standard ribbon with one that's personalized. They're even perfect for attaching gift tags to favors too - simply loop it through the hole on a favor tag and attach to your small gifts!
Remember that printed ribbon does not necessarily have to be limited to your wedding favors. If you are making your own wedding invitations, you can hot glue a bow to the top for added decoration. We also carry wedding wands that make a fabulous alternative to wedding bubbles and rice, especially if your ceremony venue does not allow either. Custom ribbons are a great way to personalize certain aspects of your wedding ceremony reception without breaking the bank!

It wasn't the medal it wanted, but Russia gave the home fans something to celebrate with a thrilling 6-5 overtime win against Canada on Saturday in the bronze-medal game of the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ufa.
Valeri Nichushkin scored 1:35 into overtime as Russia won the bronze medal for the first time since 2009.
The loss snapped Canada's streak of 14 straight years with a World Junior medal. The previous time Canada failed to take home WJC hardware was 1998, when it finished eighth.
"I'm obviously disappointed," Ryan Nugent-Hopkins told TSN. "All the guys in the room are. We battled hard, but obviously fourth is not something that Canada does."
Russia captain Nail Yakupov scored a pair of goals, Kirill Dyakov had a goal and an assist, and Alexander Khokhlachev and Yevgeni Mozer also scored. Goalie Andrey Makarov stopped 40 of 45 shots.
"We didn't win the gold medal, but we won bronze at home, so it's good news for us and for Russia," Yakupov told the IIHF website. "I want to say thanks to my team. I love my team."
Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and three assists, and defenseman Ryan Murphy had a goal and two assists for Canada. Malcolm Subban, who replaced starter Jordan Binnington in the first period, made 17 saves on 20 shots.
Despite the loss, Canada coach Steve Spott said he was proud of the effort his team put forth.
"You can only judge your team by their work ethic and their character and, ultimately, I thought tonight we left everything we had on the table," he told TSN. "Our kids played extremely hard and I'm proud of the fact we battled to our maximum.
"They [the players] have been great. They've come to work every day, they've battled hard, they've competed hard, they paid attention, they've done their best. Ultimately we fell short. But I can say, other than the American game [a 5-1 loss in the semifinals], which is going to sting all of us for a long time, I thought today the effort was there, the compete was there. Once you get to overtime it's tough. Ultimately we lost a tough game."
Canada's Brett Ritchie scored midway through the third period to force overtime, but early in the extra session it was a strong individual effort by Nichushkin that won the game for Russia.
Vladimir Tkachev won a faceoff in the Russia end and slid the puck to Artem Sergeev, who spotted Nichushkin flying out of the zone. Nichushkin, rated by NHL Central Scouting as the top Russian skater eligible for the 2013 NHL Draft, took the puck and steamed up the right side. He stepped around Canada defenseman Ryan Murphy, cut to the net and stuffed the puck inside the far post just ahead of Subban sealing the post with his skate.
"We gave everything today and that's why we won," Yakupov said. "It's life. It's hockey. We probably lost some energy against Switzerland and then Sweden, that was tough. Today in the third period everybody still felt a little tired, but we worked hard and we gave 100 percent."
The game was tied 4-4 after a wild first two periods that saw six of the eight goals scored on the man-advantage.
Yakupov, the Russian captain, scored his second of the game one minute into the third period with Russia skating a man up after Ryan Strome had been assessed a hooking penalty with 18 seconds left in the second. Russia won a puck battle along the boards behind the Canada net, with Kirill Kapustin emerging with the puck. He skated into the slot and found Yakupov open on the left side and slipped him the puck. Yakupov scored easily to give Russia the lead.
Ritchie tied the game with his first of the tournament at 10:46. Phillip Danault's long shot from the left side was stopped by Makarov, but the rebound went to Canada defenseman Scott Harrington, who tried to drag the puck through traffic in the slot. The puck bounced off a Russian player but went right to Ritchie, who scored Canada's lone even-strength goal from in close to tie the game 5-5.
Mark Scheifele nearly put Canada ahead with about 2:40 left, but his shot from in close hit the post and rolled under Makarov, who was able to clear the puck out of danger.
"The puck ended up on my stick and I released it quickly, trying to catch the goalie off guard," Scheifele told the IIHF website. "It was a tough bounce, hitting off the outside of the post."
Russia took a 2-0 lead in the first 4:57 of the game as Khokhlachev and Yakupov opened the scoring. Khokhlachev's low shot from the right circle squeezed under Binnington's right pad and trickled into the net 3:31 into the game.
After a roughing penalty on Canada's Boone Jenner, Yakupov made it 2-0 1:26 later when he played the puck off the right wall, skated to the net and took a return cross-ice pass from Albert Yarullin for a back-door tap-in goal at 4:57.
Canada finally got on the board after a penalty to Mozer. Makarov stopped Murphy's shot from the point, but as Russia tried to clear the puck, it bounced off Scheifele and went to Nugent-Hopkins. His shot from the high slot beat Makarov at 6:58.
Any momentum gained, however, was lost 56 seconds later when Dyakov scored. Tkachev beat Mark McNeill on a faceoff in the right circle, winning the puck back to Dyakov one stride inside the blue line. The Russian defenseman fired a shot that went between the legs of Canada forward Nathan MacKinnon and past Binnington at 7:55.
That marked the end of Binnington's game after allowing three goals on five shots. Canada coach Steve Spott replaced him with Subban, who had started the previous five Canada games.
Canada cut the deficit to one goal when Jonathan Huberdeau scored a power-play goal off the rebound of a Murphy point shot at 15:51 of the first, then tied the game 3:16 into the second when Nugent-Hopkins found Scheifele alone in the slot for another power-play goal.
Russia went back ahead when Mozer jumped on a loose puck in the slot and beat Subban low to the glove side at 4:23, but Murphy scored Canada's fourth power-play goal at 13:53 to tie the game 4-4. Huberdeau passed the puck from the goal line to Murphy in the center of the ice just inside the blue line, and his shot went through a Scheifele screen and past Makarov.
Nugent-Hopkins got an assist on the goal, giving him tournament highs of 11 assists and 15 points. According to TSN, it's the most points ever scored in a tournament by a Canadian captain, topping the 13 points by David Chyzowski (1990) and Russ Courtnall (1984).

OKLAHOMA CITY – With cold and flu season around the corner, EMBARK is teaming up with community organizations to provide health services and flu vaccines to the public. The free community health fair will be held Friday, October 23 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Downtown Transit Center, 420 N.W. 5th St., Oklahoma City.
"By partnering with local organizations we are able to bring vital services directly to our customers and the community," said Jason Ferbrache, EMBARK's administrator.
Some of the services being provided at this year's event include; flu vaccinations, dental screenings, diabetes risk tests, and blood pressure checks.
"Providing transportation for our customers to vital health care services is part of our mission each day" said Ferbrache. "This event, which would not be possible without our great community partners, allows us to bring health services to them."
The seasonal flu vaccines offered by the Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD) is one of the events big draws. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommend annual flu shots for everyone over six months of age.
"The EMBARK health fair extends our reach and resources to people who aren't able to come to our facility. The more people we're able to vaccinate, the more protection our community will have against the spread of the flu," said Tiffany Elmore, OCCHD's administrator of Clinical Services.
Back again this year, is Delta Dental's MobileSmiles unit providing free dental screenings, as well as Captain Supertooth. Both will be on-hand to provide oral health education and information about free and low-cost options for dental care.
"Through our MobileSmiles partnership program with the Oklahoma Dental Foundation, our organizations work to break down barriers to dental care access," said Terrisa Singleton, director of the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Oral Health Foundation. "The EMBARK health fair reminds people of the importance of good oral health and informs them of the free and low-cost options available."
Organizations participating in EMBARK's free health fair include: Buy For Less, Community Health Centers, Inc., Mobile Smiles Unit – Delta Dental & Oklahoma Dental Foundation, Heartline Oklahoma, Neighborhood Services Organization, Oklahoma State Health Department, Oklahoma City-County Health Department and Oklahoma City Indian Clinic.

The environment for pensions has been a challenging one.
Bond yields remain at or near historic lows around the world, leading to a substantial increase in the value of plan liabilities. Expected asset returns have also been falling, affecting both corporate earnings and the value of public pension liabilities. Even as plans seek to de-risk over time, new mortality tables—taking into account people's longer life spans—are also boosting the value of liabilities. Together, these trends have resulted in a deterioration in funded status experienced by many defined benefit (DB) pensions globally.
In this PDF, What if we live in a low-return world? Implications for pension funds, we discuss the long-term trend for growth across asset classes and the implications, as well as potential solutions, for pension funds. In the first section, Michael Cembalest, Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy, looks forward at global growth, productivity and demographic trends and examines the consequences for long-term interest rates. In the second section, we explore the pension landscape in more detail, looking at the portfolio implications of a low-return world and outlining potential investment considerations and solutions.
One such approach for pensions is a liability-driven investment (LDI)1 solution. Due to the continued focus on de-risking their portfolios, pensions are increasingly implementing LDI strategies. According to a recent Cogent study, four in 10 pensions already employ LDI, up from 22% in 2012, and another 16% are likely to do so in the next 12 months.2 Nevertheless, many plans continue to wait for a return to an elusive "normal level" for bond yields before reducing the liability duration mismatch further. Open pension plans and plan sponsors looking for asset returns to make up some of their funding shortfalls will continue to look for investment strategies that generate return in a "liability aware" framework.
With more than 60 years of experience in DB plan management, we believe we are well positioned to help our clients meet their unique objectives. Our focus is on providing product-agnostic investment advice and solutions for the challenges that investors face throughout their plans' life cycle.
We hope that you will find this PDF useful and insightful.

Gifted pupil development: Sports-oriented schools
In the context of profile building, school autonomy permits each school, to establish a physical education emphasis. This decision requires an increase, when compared with the norm for that type of school, in the physical education and allied subjects or projects offered.
From 1962 sports-oriented schools have been established in Austria for the specific development of the physically gifted. In these schools, particular attention has been paid that teaching staff show sports-oriented training beyond that required by the teaching diploma. Pupils are required to demonstrate their physical suitability in an aptitude test and to undergo medical examination.
Sports High Schools (general sports orientation)
Currently, 1998, there are in Austria 111 sports high schools. The principal characteristic of this type of school is an increase of 3-4 hours per week in physical education teaching time over that of a normal high school. In addition there are voluntary training sessions, increased participation in competitions and a greater number of school events (winter and summer sports weeks). The goal of sports high schools is the development of talented pupils.
Through varied training (basic motor skills, basic sport skills, leisure sports) the school creates on the one hand an introduction to competitive sport and on the other an ideal foundation for health promotion and a lifelong sports habit. Fundamentally any pupil who meets the necessary physical requirements and passes the aptitude test has access to a sports high school.
Ski-sport oriented high schools (alpine and nordic)
Ski high schools were established for the specific development of competitive skiing. Building upon already acquired basic techniques technical skills specific to racing skiing are improved and thereby a transition is made possible to racing with one of the clubs of the Austrian Ski Federation. The greater demand in the domain of ski training requires a targeted development of basic motor skills (variety and increasing load). Concurrently and in direct accordance with sports practice students are given a fundamental knowledge of the doctrines of physical and technical training.
Since not all pupils make it to the competitive top there are other aspects of sport to open up e.g. later professional employment fields
(ski teacher, trainer). From year 5 to year 8 there are 12 hours of physical education per week including special fitness and ski training.
Ski-oriented Middle and Upper Schools
Skiing is the only sport for which the Austrian school system provides special schools. State-certificated trainers look after the the pupils' sports education. Special classes are offered, above and beyond normal teaching, for pupils to catch up on academic work missed through training or competition.
The sport schools in Stams, Schladming and Waidhofen/Ybbs represent a special opportunity in the development of top level sport. Through special cooperation with the Austrian Ski Federation there is optimum coordination of admission to the competition squad, training courses and competitions. A significant characteristic of this type of school is the desire to give the young people a self-contained education but also to reach as high a level of sporting competition as possible.
Sports Academy
This type of school is distinguished by a broad practical sports training (moderate sporting emphasis) with a tight interweaving of sports science.
There are 7-8 hours per week per class of physical education. In the context of an aptitude test, basic motor skills are checked. Introduction to youth competitions participation in sports federation competitions and an increased opportunity for voluntary sport are components of this education.
The new rules for the leaving examination and the new curriculum for sports science have brought with them a rise in the quality of school training: sports science as a compulsory subject in the leaving certificate. practical dissertation, team teaching interdisciplinary teaching.
Schools for competitive athletes
Sixth Form College for competitive athletes: These experimental schools were established in order to open up the possibility for young performance athletes to sit a leaving examination. The organisational framework makes it possible to do justice simultaneously to intensive training and school work. This demands tight cooperation between training requirements for out-of-school sports and school work. Training is organised and financed by training centres and/or the appropriate sport federation. Class times are determined by training requirements. Individual athletes' enforced absences resulting from training, competition and training camps can be made up with the support classes and learning packages on offer. The theory of sports science is a compulsory subject and part of the examination.
The requirements for admission to a school for competitive athletes consist of sports qualification (actual or near elite athlete status in the sport concerned, prospects of international success) academic requirements (school reports and additional learning capacity) and a positive medical report.

Scandalous New Shame Poster Banned In Hungary
When the Academy Award nominees were announced, Shame was totally absent from the role call.

But just when we thought there was nothing else Shame could yield to shock the world, Fox Searchlight unleashes a shocking new poster which has been deemed too hot for Hungary, which has refused to run the one-sheet promo seen below.

Shame Redband Trailer Shows A Lot Less Conversation, A Little More Action
The film's sexuality is more overt here, but it's almost an afterthought, a barrage of images sifted from the mind of a man who simply cannot shut off his libido or predatory instincts. These play out interspersed across a single scene, dialogue-free, of the silent connection and flirtation between Fassbender's Brandon and a woman on a train. Nothing is explained; the trailer simply lets the images speak for themselves.

New Trailer For Shame Features Carey Mulligan's Beautiful Singing Voice
In Steve McQueen's Shame there's a scene in which Brandon, played by Michael Fassbender, and his boss, played by James Badge Dale, go out to a restaurant to see Brandon's sister perform at a club. This results in an extended sequence in which we watch Carey Mulligan sing a beautiful rendition of Liza Minnelli's "New York New York." While watching the movie at AFI Fest last week, I couldn't help but think about how it perfectly encapsulated the tone of the film.
