Today Research In Motion® (RIM®) has launched the next-generation in enterprise mobile device management (MDM) – BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion. This tool acts as a central platform giving IT managers the ability to effectively and efficiently manage the following:
- BlackBerry® 7 (and previous) smartphones
- BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets (and BlackBerry® 10 smartphones in the future)
- As of today, tablets and smartphones running Android® and iOS®
I recently spoke with some enterprise customers during the BlackBerry® Innovation Forum in both Toronto and Atlanta about their thoughts on BlackBerry Mobile Fusion – clearly customers are excited. Beyond Mobile Fusion Studio and BlackBerry® Device Service – both of which we've discussed previously – many seem eager to deploy the Universal Device Service. Check out a video overview of BlackBerry Mobile Fusion below:

RIM has now officially released the entire BlackBerry Mobile Fusion solution, including the Universal Device Service. Similar to how BlackBerry Device Service provides a set of security and management features for BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, the Universal Device Service provides Mobile Device Management for iOS and Android based devices.
Now let's be clear: this does not turn a random phone into a BlackBerry smartphone! BlackBerry® Enterprise Server (conveniently accessible through Mobile Fusion's unified, web-console, Mobile Fusion Studio) pushes out 500+ IT policies to BlackBerry smartphones. This is the champagne of enterprise mobility solutions, giving organizations back-end integration and end-to-end security that only BlackBerry offers; accessed through feature rich BlackBerry smartphones in a multitude of form factors that end-users desire.
As more devices come to market, however, IT managers need to accommodate individually purchased units that come into the enterprise, whether by a sales rep deciding to expense the latest handset, a doctor bringing in their personal phone for hospital work, or a field worker getting whatever's available on special as a replacement unit. Universal Device Service offers you – if not a champagne solution – perhaps a Cava or Prosecco. And, given how individual-liable devices are typically used, this is often quite sufficient. BlackBerry Mobile Fusion finally gives you a solution, managed from a single web-console, to deal with the influx of personal-liable devices in the enterprise and ensures that a range of suitable security mechanisms are in place.
Once the server software is installed and the device side client is loaded (conveniently accessed by the end user through their OS-specific app store), you're good to go. Each component (BlackBerry Device Service, Universal Device Service, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server) runs on a single server, keeping things straightforward and simple to maintain. To get you going, in addition to the BlackBerry Mobile Fusion server software always being a free download, currently several Client Access Licenses are included in a FREE 60 day trial, so you can deploy a pilot immediately before budgeting for a full enterprise roll out.
So what exactly does BlackBerry Mobile Fusion let you do in terms of managing non-BlackBerry devices? I could write a year's worth of blog posts on each of the different functions (and probably will!). Obviously the specific capability will vary for each OS based on the APIs that are available, but here are some of the highlights of what BlackBerry Mobile Fusion is designed to do:
- Activate and configure devices and profiles over the air
- Enable access to enterprise Mail, Calendar and PIM
- Administer users and groups, natively and directory based
- Establish corporate IT Policies and Security
- Manage lost devices – Password Reset, Device Lock, Device Wipe
- Set Wi-Fi® and VPN settings
- Deploy internally-developed apps
- Define (and enforce) public applications as mandatory or optional
- Provides Notifications to the Device User
- Provides Rooting & Jailbreak Detection
- Help manage Roaming to control your data costs
- Prevent apps from accessing corporate mail accounts
So with the ability finally to control the chaos that seems to be the state of mobility in many organizations…when will you be deploying BlackBerry Mobile Fusion?
How do you manage non-BlackBerry devices today? Does your organization have a policy for personal versus corporate devices? How do you control the chaos? We'd love to hear what you're doing now, and how you plan to leverage this new technology.

So, you want to learn how you can make the most out of your BlackBerry PlayBook? Well, most of you already know that you can pair your PlayBook with your BlackBerry device using BlackBerry Bridge, giving this system double BlackBerry power, but did you know you could do more than that? RIM has posted 5 must-know tips for using your PlayBook with Bridge. Looking through the list, I can see features I didn't know existed, such as opening Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and .PDFs.
Here is the full list of 5 tips for your BlackBerry PlayBook:
So, there it is! Has this list helped you? Tell us in the comments!
Multiple email account support and folder browsing
If you have multiple email accounts integrated on your BlackBerry smartphone, youll be presented with a consolidated inbox of all of your email accounts when you use the BlackBerry Bridge Messages application on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. If you tap the All Messages tab that appears in the top corner of your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, youll be able to select a specific email account which is convenient if you receive a lot of email to multiple email addresses.
In this menu, youll also notice the View Folder option, which allows you to view the sent items folder of a particular email account. This is handy if you have enabled the Hide Sent Messages setting on your BlackBerry smartphone in the Messages options.
What if you wanted youre sent or filed items to appear by default in your All Message list while using your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, instead of having to use the View Folder option? To do this, all you need to do is customize the message options that appear on your BlackBerry smartphone. The reason you need to edit these settings on your BlackBerry smartphone is because the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet displays your messages based on the settings youve specified on your BlackBerry smartphone. To review the options available to you, including how to hide sent and filed items, complete the following steps on your BlackBerry smartphone:
- On your BlackBerry smartphone home screen, select Messages.
- Press the menu key and select Options.
- Select one of the following depending on your BlackBerry smartphone:
- BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.0 to 5.0 Select General Options
- BlackBerry® 6 Select Message Display and Actions
After saving these changes, re-open the Messages application on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and youll see your preferred settings take effect. Screenshots of how this screen appears on a BlackBerry 6-enabled BlackBerry smartphone are below.
Using the Search feature
Whenever you are using the Messages, Contacts, Memos, Tasks or Bridge Files applications on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, youll notice a magnifying glass icon and a search field. When you perform a search on your BlackBerry tablet, its the same as doing a search while using your BlackBerry smartphone. If you want to perform a remote search of your email accounts, youll need to do this using your BlackBerry smartphone, as the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet does not currently support remote email search. If you arent familiar with the remote search option and want to learn more, check out KB15161 How to perform a remote search for email messages.
Opening Attachments and File Types supported by BlackBerry Bridge Files
When using the Messages application and viewing an email that contains an attachment, youll be able to open it if its a supported file type. Current supported file types are:
- Adobe® Reader® for opening PDF Files
- Documents To Go® for opening Microsoft® Excel® (XLS, XLSX), Microsoft®
- Word (DOC, DOCX) and Microsoft® PowerPoint® (PPT) files
- Pictures, videos and music files (provided they are of a supported media type)
Tip: To find out more about BlackBerry PlayBook tablet-supported media types, review the Support Media Types for BlackBerry Tablets reference guide.
Something to note is that if your BlackBerry smartphone is activated on a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, BlackBerry Bridge will not save attachments to your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. The attachment will instead be saved to the microSD card on your BlackBerry smartphone. If your BlackBerry smartphone isnt activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, attachments will be saved on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
When you are using BlackBerry Bridge Files, youll be able to access files located on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and the microSD card of your BlackBerry smartphone. File types supported by BlackBerry Bridge Files currently are:
- Adobe Reader for opening PDF Files
- Documents to Go for opening Microsoft Office Excel (XLS, XLSX), Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX) and Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) files
If you have a lot of contacts and want to add images to their contact cards on your BlackBerry smartphone, you can use BlackBerry Messenger or Facebook® for BlackBerry smartphones to do this automatically! To learn more about how this features works, click on one of the links below, depending on which application you are using on your BlackBerry smartphone:
BlackBerry Messenger version 5.0.3
- Link a contact with a contact in the Contacts application
- Overwrite contact pictures with display pictures
Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones version 1.9

Economic Views
China: Facing collapse or slow decline?
We come away from a week in China feeling, if not optimistic, then reassured that things are not so much worse than the data is telling us. Corporates, analysts and officials were candid about many of the challenges faced, but there is little evidence of a crisis at present. But while current activity seems to be holding up, we remain concerned about the years ahead given some of what we heard.
Prospects of reform
Reform hopes which bloomed in the Third Plenum have wilted in the frosty indifference of President Xi to investors' wishes. Sentiment has soured on the prospect of China becoming more market-oriented as it has become increasingly clear that the main purpose of reforms is to centralise power wherever possible. Market reforms, it is perceived, will be tolerated only where they serve the purposes of the state and the goal of enhancing social stability. In addition to this, reform is meeting strong resistance from senior management at state owned enterprises (SOEs), who have obvious vested interests in not being merged with one another. Optimism is muted at best that the Fifth Plenum will make substantial changes in this regard.
One-child policy scrapped
Perhaps the banner policy so far has been the ending of the one child policy, but as we have already written (see Schroders Quickview: Will the end of China's one child policy spark a demographic boom?) this is likely to have limited impact.
Boosting the fertility rate would definitely help, but it is not certain that ending the one-child policy will be effective. Previous relaxations have seen relatively limited uptake; the last, in 2014, made 11 million couples eligible for a second child, but only 1 million applied to do so. It may be that after so long, the one child norm will take time to reverse. In addition, anecdotally many young Chinese cite the cost of children, particularly education, as a major barrier to considering large families.
Reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs)
SOE reform, including mergers, would be a key part of reducing spare capacity in China, which is particularly prevalent in a handful of industries. Globally, this is particularly noticeable in steel, where accusations of Chinese dumping are on the rise. Within China, we found it reflected in the estimates large SOEs provided on overcapacity in their workforces, with some employing almost twice as many people as they actually needed. Of course, this is the problem for the government; how to reduce spare capacity without causing massive unemployment, which would call into question the Party's legitimacy and threaten social stability. The realpolitik of the situation provides further grounds for gloom. SOEs in overcapacity sectors have begun expanding into "emerging industry" areas, in the service sector, but it is questionable how quickly, if at all, existing staff can be retrained for these new industries.
Property divergence
Overcapacity in the property market remains a problem but the divergence between Tier 1 cities and the rest is widening, with some divergence even within individual Tier 1 cities. Though it is unsurprising that central Shanghai property should be more resilient than property in a small city in the Western provinces, it creates problems for smaller developers concentrated in the less salubrious regions. All the same, sector consolidation is proceeding at what could best be described as a stately pace. More failures are likely among the market minnows.
Financial liberalisation
One area of reform that has proceeded reasonably smoothly and rapidly is financial liberalisation, with deposit rates now fully liberalised and the local government debt swap doing much to reduce debt costs, even if it is squeezing bank margins. At long last, too, local government bonds are seeing buyers other than banks strong armed into it by the state. However, this has much to do with the bond market bubble which has seen a remarkable compression of spreads across the credit space. Local government bonds themselves are still trading at very tight spreads to the sovereign – in no small part due to the assumption of central government support.
Currency devaluation
Of course, not all financial reforms have been without problems. The devaluation of the renminbi (RMB) in August caught everyone by surprise, including well connected SOEs, who had previously not given much, if any, thought to the exchange rate. In the wake of the policy shock, somewhat panicky firms showed a marked increase in their desire to hedge currency exposure and also began paying off dollar debt. At the same time, wealthy clients of asset managers have also reportedly become keen to diversify their portfolios away from RMB-denominated assets. While the hedging and debt repayment activity has seen a peak and will now wind down, reducing pressure on the currency, the desire for diversification will mean that any relaxation of currency controls will likely see further depreciation.
Prospect of hard landing?
Our expectation remains that Chinese growth will avoid a calamitous collapse and instead slowly drift lower. But without successful reform the risk of a hard landing rises. Vested interests will have to be challenged if the misallocation of resources is to be addressed, itself key to transitioning to service led growth. If inefficient SOEs are allowed to continue to dominate, productivity will be hurt and growth will slow much sooner – the next five years will be vital.

"I'm here in Davos to make the case to the most important people in the financial world," Lamothe said.
DAVOS, Switzerland -- Four years ago this month a devastating earthquake in Haiti thrust the poverty-stricken nation to the center of discussions at the World Economic Forum.
Now, as the 44th annual meeting begins to wind down, the prime minister of the Caribbean country of 10 million has been walking the halls here one last time to ensure Haiti is not forgotten.
"Any interest in Haiti is a big interest for us," Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe told USA TODAY on Friday in the Swiss ski resort. "There is a lot of solidarity with the Haitian people still because of the input and support we got following the earthquake, but we are a country that has for far too long been forgotten in the investment world."
More than 300,000 people in Haiti died on Jan. 12, 2010, when the earthquake struck, leveling large parts of the capital Port-au-Prince, and bringing devastation on a scale rarely witnessed. But Lamothe said that despite persistent, and somewhat unhelpful perceptions, Haiti has moved on.
"We have gone past the emergency phase into the nation-building phase," he said. "What we want to do now is to go from the philanthropy phase to an investment one."
FULL COVERAGE: Davos 2014
The prime minister said that for the past four years the country has been working day and night to increase Haiti's potential as a hub for business, to create jobs, reduce inequality, and to show the world what Haiti -- for so long associated with trouble and poverty -- has to offer.
"I'm here in Davos to make the case to the most important people in the financial world," he said.
He has already convinced Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS, the Calif.-based company that gives away one pair of shoes for every pair it sells. The firm will soon begin manufacturing its cool-and-casual shoes in Haiti.
Mycoskie, who travels under the moniker Chief Shoe Giver, told USA TODAY in Davos that Haiti presented a unique opportunity because it is so close to the USA. "We'll be the only footwear manufacturer there so we are really excited about it. We hope that TOMS can help show the world that Haiti is open for business."
Mycoskie said his firm would not be receiving any aid or other investments from third parties as part of the expansion. "We're going to take it slow. It's not like we are going to change the landscape in Haiti overnight."
Still, becoming a desirable destination for investment is not something that can be accomplished in four days in Switzerland.
Prime Minister Lamothe said that during the WEF this week investors such as George Soros had expressed interest in the country. For 2013, foreign direct investment increased 25% to $220 million, with close to half of that coming from a deal made by beer brewer Heineken to buy a local bottler.
However, the World Bank ranked Haiti 177 out of 184 in its latest yearly report based on the ease of doing business. And while Haiti did achieve 4% economic growth in 2013, the second fastest in the region, it is still the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
"Our strategy is very simple. In order to fight poverty we need to create wealth," Lamothe said. "But we understand that we have a massive amount of work to do''
RESEAU CITADELLE : LE COURAGE DE COMBATTRE LES DEMAGOGUES DE DROITE ET DE GAUCHE , LE COURAGE DE DIRE LAVERITE!!! "You can fool some people sometimes, But you can't fool all the people all the time." ( Vous pouvez tromper quelques personnes, parfois, Mais vous ne pouvez pas tromper tout le monde tout le temps. ) dixit Abraham Lincoln.

Rep. Esty criticized for off-record meetings
Rep. Elizabeth Esty is facing criticism this week for holding closed, off-the-record meetings with public officials, according to reports.
The Connecticut Democrat has hosted several local meetings with city officials and others in her district this week to discuss the Newtown school shooting, but has asked the press to consider all comments from the meetings off the record and not for publication, several local newspapers reported. Esty — the newly sworn-in congresswoman whose district includes Newtown — told the Torrington-based Register Citizen that she will hold open meetings at another point, but for now the meetings are closed and off the record "to get the most candid sharing."
"We will be having many open meetings but these initial ones are designed to get the most candid sharing and then take that forward for those who do want to appear on the record," she told the Register Citizen on Monday.
The Record-Journal of Meriden, Connecticut reported on Tuesday that the paper "declined an invitation to attend tonight's meeting because it was offered on the condition that all comments be considered 'off the record' and not be printed." The paper also noted that Waterbury's newspaper, the Republican American, did not cover one of Esty's meetings because of the closed-door format.
The Record-Journal added that the meetings in question likely included city and state officials and community members such as first responders, clergy, teachers, sportsmen and mental health professionals.
Esty's spokesperson Jeb Fain told the Record-Journal the meetings are closed because "we want people to feel comfortable having a frank discussion with her."
Esty's office has not responded to request for comment from POLITICO.
UPDATE (4:35 p.m.):
Reporter Dan Brechlin of The Record-Journal writes in to say he met with Esty this morning and asked her about the closed meetings:
Esty and her staff remained firm on their stance that this was the best way to go about their meetings with public officials, clergy members, parents, gun owners and sportsmen, etc. She basically told me that she did not want anybody to feel like they were in a public meeting or at a press conference and wanted them to feel comfortable as people continue to formulate opinions and ideas on gun violence prevention. ...
She will be back in Meriden tonight for the meeting and we will not be in attendance because the terms continue to be an "off the record" conversation. We are disappointed that they insisted on keeping it this way as so many hearings and meetings are taking place across the state and the country in a very public format. Obviously it's a national debate on a controversial matter and the public is very much involved into whatever decisions are made.
And Brechlin sends in his latest story here.


text: American Apparel's Dov Charney may seem a bit like a loose cannon, but his brand of nothing-to-hide communications is transforming his industry, and could be a lesson for PR pros.Dov Charney is a mixture of Cesar Chavez and Jerry Lewis - a visionary committed to labor rights, and a gregarious, loudmouthed entertainer full of heart and good humor. He is fiercely dedicated to manufacturing high-quality T-shirts, and at the same time proving that clothing manufacturers can turn a profit without exploiting laborers and engaging in other nefarious practices. Though he's not technically a PR specialist, in the process he's become an organic, one-man PR phenomenon. Charney, senior partner and CEO of American Apparel in Los Angeles, spends all of his waking hours ensuring that everyone he comes in contact with understands and remembers his T-shirts, his company, and his politics. Those efforts are helping him sell more shirts and raise standards in a notoriously abusive industry. To Charney, apparel news is important, but limited; he's much more concerned with human-rights issues in manufacturing. "It's clothing - everybody wears it. And the industry is a bloody mess," Charney says. "It looks like slavery. The Boomers that control the T-shirt industry screwed up. It's an affront to human decency, and I'm the only one doing something about it." Richard Louderback, partner with DFC2, a film company that Charney uses to make documentaries about American Apparel, says, "It doesn't matter where you go with the guy, he creates the biggest scene. Twenty minutes later, everybody knows him. He's passing out catalogs, cards, and T-shirts telling them about the industry. He laughs a lot, but he's very serious about his company." "PR comes naturally," Charney admits. "It's partly a Yiddish thing - about being the showman. I'm a Jewish hustler, and I'm a motivational expert. When you have a real story and a big mouth, people listen. If it's a real story, the more you piss it out there, the more media people are going to call you." To date, Charney's good deeds and big, bad mouth have caught the attention of Time magazine, The New Yorker, FT.com, PBS, and NBC. "If 60 Minutes doesn't want to do a story on me, it's their problem, not mine," he declares. "I'm changing the world; they're just reporting on it." The US Department of Labor estimates that more than half of the 22,000 US sewing factories violate minimum-wage and overtime laws, and 75% violate health and safety laws. Working conditions include blocked fire exits, poor ventilation, vermin-infested factories, and restrooms without running water or toilet paper. "We do things so differently," says VP of operations Marty Bailey, who Charney poached from Fruit of the Loom last spring. "We are in a position to take a corporate lead, to be an example of what can happen in the manufacturing sector. It's not about just paying lip service to the issues, it's about showing that it can happen, it can work." Setting a higher standard American Apparel sewers make as much as $10 to $15 an hour, and the company offers benefits unheard of in the industry. For example, everyone has access to free massages at their workstations. English and Spanish classes are taught, immigration assistance is given, and a mobile health clinic staffed by registered nurses visits once a week to make referrals. Free yoga classes were dropped only because massages were more popular. Health insurance is provided for everyone's children. Paid vacations are becoming available, and day-care is under consideration. "Other companies treat people like animals," says Alma Amaya, who has worked in factories for 10 years and started as an American Apparel sewer in 2000, but was promoted to assistant to the VP of operations in March. "Dov really cares about people and their problems." Charney, who's only 33, has sold T-shirts under the name American Apparel since 1989. His passion for T-shirts started when he was a teenager in Montreal, and he then spent eight years learning the trade in South Carolina before moving to LA in the mid-'90s. Rather than compete with mass-market companies like Fruit of the Loom, American Apparel flourishes in its high-end niche by leveraging product quality, hip design, and the appeal of its anti-sweatshop politics. The company had about $12 million in sales in 2001, and Charney projects that will more than double this year. American Apparel is primarily a wholesaler, though it expanded into consumer sales earlier this year. Increasing consumer awareness of the company is now the primary objective. Everything about American Apparel, including its internal and external PR practices, has been an organic extension of Charney's beliefs, visions, and personality. "For Dov, this is not just a business. It is his very existence," says marketing manager Jin Kang. "In the beginning, all he had was the gift of his mouth. Now we need to get a communications structure in place to manage the growth." Indeed, the company is devising a formal PR strategy with help from Cynthia Semon, owner of Los Angeles-based CS Communications. "I have to dissect the company," Semon says. "There are so many messages that cut across so many demographics. It's important to reach younger people so they can see that there is a different business model out there that works. People are dying to see stories like this, but we can also network with the community through charities, universities, and mentor programs." Telling the story on screen One of Charney's most ingenious tactics is spreading information via the short documentary films he makes with DFC2 about his operations and the lives of his employees. Shown at trade shows, mailed out and streamed over the internet, the films are an extraordinary marketing tool, and they landed Charney outside PR help: Semon saw the films about a year ago and sought him out. Charney officially hired CS as his agency this past August. "I was inspired by the films, and felt compelled to start pitching," says Semon, who has specialized in political and social issues management and entertainment PR for 12 years. "I wanted to be associated with his cause, regardless of if I was perceived as his publicist. PR has a responsibility to represent responsible companies. You should not project something that's not there or that's not good." Semon helped bring in NBC coverage, a PBS special (Charney was featured in the documentary series Realidades), and an FT story about a new fabric-recycling initiative with Environmental Textiles. Charney says American Apparel will continue to confront his industry's harsh reality head-on. "I'm about to e-mail all my customers about the ills of cotton," he says. "More pesticides are used in cotton than all other agricultural sectors put together, and the government spends more money on cotton subsidy than it does on the military budget. Cotton is the nicotine of clothing. If the cigarette industry had some balls, it would address its problems. I'm not going to hide. We're not going to play PR charade. I'm going to say, 'Yeah, we use it, but we need to do something about it.' Credibility is going to breed attention." For Charney and American Apparel, that certainly seems to be the case. ---------------- American Apparel Senior partner and CEO Dov Charney Marketing manager Jin Kang Advertising manager Kara Messina External agency Cynthia Semon of CS Communications PR budget $40,000

Royals agree to terms with three players on one-year contracts for 2014
The Kansas City Royals announced today that the club has agreed to terms on 2014 Major League contracts with left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy, infielder Johnny Giavotella and outfielder Carlos Peguero. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed. After today's signings, the Royals' entire 40-man roster is under contract for the 2014 season.
Duffy, 25, returned from Tommy John surgery last season, posting a 2-0 record and a 1.85 ERA in five starts with Kansas City. Giavotella, 26, spent a majority of the 2013 season with Triple-A Omaha, batting .286 with 24 doubles, 7 homers and 46 RBI in 100 games for the Storm Chasers. Peguero, was acquired from the Seattle Mariners on January 29; he ranked seventh in the Pacific Coast League with 19 homers and was selected to the Triple-A All-Star Game in 2013.

Almost one in 10 pupils in England took time off school for term-time holidays last year.
New figures show a rise in the proportion of youngsters missing lessons for family trips, compared to the year before.
In total, 9.4% of primary and secondary school children missed at least half a day of schooling for this reason during the autumn and spring terms of the 2016/17 academic year, according to official statistics.
This is up from 7.6% for the same two terms the year before.
The latest figures for 2016/17 cover the period after a father won a high-profile High Court case in May 2016 over taking his daughter out of school for a holiday to Disney World, Florida, without permission.
It suggests that after this ruling, many mothers and fathers took decisions to take term-time breaks believing it was unlikely they would face action for doing so.
The case was later referred to the Supreme Court, where the father involved, Jon Platt, lost.
The latest figures show that overall, the proportion of all half days missed due to term-time family holidays that have not been approved by the school has risen from 0.2% in 2015/16 to 0.3% in 2016/16.
The authorised holidays rate remains static at 0.1%.
Youngsters are skipping school without permission more often in general, the figures show.
The overall unauthorised absence rate in England's primary and secondary schools - children missing lessons for any reason - has risen to 1.1%, from 0.9% the previous year.
"This is due to increased levels of unauthorised family holiday and other unauthorised absence," Government statisticians said.
Justine Roberts, founder of parenting website Mumsnet, said: "Missing lots of school has a negative impact on children's learning, and is disruptive for teachers as well.
"But discussions on Mumsnet show that parents are being denied permission even for very short trips with genuine educational value, for off-season holidays for children with special needs, or for really significant family events.
"Parents of course need to behave responsibly and think about the needs of the whole school community, but Mumsnet users would like to see headteachers being able to exercise discretion over absences without being penalised in subsequent Ofsted reports."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said it is their position that children should not be taken out of school without good reason.
"That is why we have tightened the rules and are supporting schools and local authorities to use their powers to tackle unauthorised absence," she said.
"The evidence shows that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil's chances of achieving good GCSEs, which has a lasting impact on their life chances."
Mr Platt lost a landmark legal battle at the UK's highest court in April over taking his daughter to Disney World during school time.
The case, which was closely watched by parents across the country, was taken to the Supreme Court by education chiefs after High Court judges, in May 2016, backed a decision by local magistrates on the Isle of Wight that Mr Platt had no case to answer over the unauthorised seven-day family trip in April 2015.
After the Supreme Court ruling, the case was referred back to Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court, where Mr Platt was convicted of failing to secure his daughter's regular attendance at school, given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £2,000 costs.
Parents can be fined £60 if their child misses school without permission, rising to £120 if the penalty is not paid within 21 days. Those that fail to pay can face prosecution.

I commented on Twitter yesterday that it feels like Willem Dafoe has to be naked in every one of his movies. Obviously an exaggeration. But he's naked a lot. He's also a sexy beast. And, yes, he's very very naked in his new movie Antichrist which screened at Cannes yesterday and is by far the most controversial film of the festival so far.
William stars with the impossibly stylish Charlotte Gainsbourgh about a husband and wife mourning a loss who go away to their cabin and try to reconcile, only it turns into a f-cking brutal horror movie. Like f-cked up. F-CKED UP.
I won't spoil it for you but that sh-t is disturbed.
Many audience members came out crying and complaining and cussing. Some loved it. Some have objected. Some are accusing Von Trier of championing violence against women.
Like all Von Trier films, it's a perverted social commentary. And we can wait til it's released to debate its merits and its flaws.
For now though, just know that he is naked again. Even in the posters he's naked. Lying on top of her naked in a twisted Garden of Eden setting with his bare ass facing the camera. Even the promo photos show them getting steamy in the shower. You think it's erotica but then, all of a sudden, you're wondering if there's anything good about human beings at all.
Anyway, here are Willem with his wife and Charlotte on the carpet last night.
In person, Gainsbourgh, you realise, is everything the Mary Kates and the Dunsts want to be and more. Infinitely cooler.

We are back to work in the shipping container studio again – starting new sculptures for a February show at Sprueth Magers in Berlin. Exciting!
As pretty as the all-white container compound may look, it isn't very practical for producing large bodies of work – plus the heat and the cold really takes a toll when you are working outside every day. This will probably be the last show that we do in this studio as we are gearing up to build a full size building – which will hopefully be completed in the next six months.

Limeade has pulled in $5 million in fresh capital from TVC Capital, money that the six-year-old Bellevue company will use to more than double its staff of 35 people in the coming year.
Led by former Intuit marketing vet Henry Albrecht, Limeade develops online corporate wellness programs designed to maker employees healthier and happier. Employers pay a few dollars per month for the service, which is designed to cut down on health care costs.
"Companies are using Limeade to assess the health and well-being of their workforces, and then engage them in fun, social, mobile improvement programs," explains Albrecht. "And increasingly, employers are using Limeade to align the financial incentives of employers and employees. We have found that employers who commit to programs like this can have 90 percent of their employees participate, and they can save millions on missed work and healthcare costs."
Limeade is similar to EveryMove, a graduate of TechStars Seattle that earlier this year raised cash for what co-founder Russell Benaroya described as a "mileage rewards program for health."
Both use game mechanics to encourage employees to engage in a healthier lifestyle, from exercise to a proper diet.
Albrecht said that they've had success adding customers because they bring an irreverent and game-like approach to what "has typically been a very dry, clinical and even antagonistic insurance-focused market."
"Employers want simple, engaging programs that reflect and amplify their unique cultures, vibes and strategies — not just one-size-fits-all approaches," he said. "They also want to know that the innovation will be there next month and next year."
Customers using Limeade include Jamba Juice, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and REI. It has achieved more than 100 percent revenue growth in each of the past three years.
As a result of the latest funding round, TVC Capital's Steven Hamerslag has joined the board of Limeade. Total funding in the company now stands at $8.5 million.

Former Klein Collins and Texas A&M running back Mike Goodson was arrrested by New Jersey State Police on Thursday and charged with possession of a loaded firearm and simple possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, police spokesman Lt. Stephen Jones told USA Today.
Jones said Goodson was the passenger in a car that was stopped in the left lane on Route 80 in Denville, N.J. for unknown reasons. Jones said a tow truck came upon the vehicle and called 911 when he noted both Goodson and the driver, Garret Evans, appeared intoxicated.
Evans was charged with suspicion of DUI and possession of a loaded firearm, according to the Jones, who added that Evans has a prior conviction on weapons charges. The spokesman said police found hollow-point bullets with the gun in the car.
Goodson signed a three-year contract worth $6.9 million as a free agent this offseason after four seasons with the Oakland Raiders. He and Chris Ivory, acquired in a trade from the New Orleans Saints, were expected to be the team's top two backs to replace Shonn Greene, the former third-round pick who joined the Tennessee Titans this offseason.
The Jets said they are aware of the report and are gathering information.

Want to play along?
I am not affiliated with Liesl, just a fan of her designs. I think it would be fun to try a sew-along of one of her new patterns, next month when it feels more like spring and my wardrobe is ready for something happy. My favorite was the Portfolio Dress. Would you guys be game? Let me know!
20 happy thoughts:
- Melissa {polkadot chair} said...
oh my gosh! Thanks for the heads up!! I had no idea they were at Joann's and so cheap!! Headed there tomorrow!!
- 09 March, 2011 18:08
- Gwen @ Gwenny Penny said...
I just heard yesterday that these patterns are available. I also heard that she has a fabric line at Joann's now, too. I think I might be up for it, Chris, depending on the timing.
- 09 March, 2011 20:24
- aj said...
Don't know Jo-ann's (Canadian reader!), but looked at the webpage and can only find the fabric so I guess its an instore only offer? Are they really only $1.99, as they seem to be on offer at $12.99 on the designers website, so if thats the deal I could order directly from there?
Thanks! They look like great patterns.

- Ana @ Don't Fear the Ripper said...
I was patiently waiting for Simplicity patterns to go on sale this week and finally yesterday I went and got them all! :-) I am so excited, and YES, I would love to do a sew-along of that same dress. I even got the fabrics, pattern pieces cut and everything. Can you feel my anxiety? :-)
- 09 March, 2011 21:32
- Ricard said...
lovely dress. I'd love to take part in the sew-along. Does anyone know where can I find the downloadable version? Joann doesn't ship internationally (I live in Spain) and I've tried google with no luck.
- 10 March, 2011 15:42
- Maria said...
Well, the previous comment was accidentally written using the google account of my husband.
- 11 March, 2011 06:32
- Maria said...
IMPORTANT: for those who live outside the US or want to order the pattern online.
I've found the pattern at sewingpatterns.com. The direct link is http://www.sewingpatterns.com/sub_item.php?item_num=2245SIM&model=%&new_category=search&view=gallery&brand=&category=search&pageGoto=0&pageFormat=3|186|186&pageCount=18&search=simplicity%202245&return=yes
It only costs $7.99 (a lot less than at the sewlisette web which is 12.95) and international shipping costs are only $6.45.
Unfortunately I haven't found any downloadable version. I hope it helps.
Just ordered the pattern! Can't wait it to arrive and start to sew. It will be the 3rd item I sew for myself

- aj said...
Hoorah for the internet! A fellow knitter on ravelry has purchased three out of four patterns for me, and is popping them in the post....sadly not the portfolio (sold out), but I get most of the fun anyway! Thanks for the heads up on this great pattern deal.
- 11 March, 2011 11:02

@MariaThanks, Maria for finding that info! Hooray for international participants!

why oh why doesn't charlotte have a JoAnns?? I really want to try her patterns! Maybe I can find it on sale at Hancocks or Hobby Lobby.

Yes, lets do a sew-along!
- 11 March, 2011 18:24
- Cate Lindsey said...
I'll definitely join a sew along for this dress. I picked the pattern up today, but I didn't see any Lisette fabrics. I'm sure I just missed them.
- 12 March, 2011 16:42
- Kiana N said...
Thanks for the tip! Went and got them all for that price! Love them! Had never seen them before!

- KJ@letsgoflyakite said...
Catching up on my post-vacation reading. This is great, had no idea. I told Gwen I would be interested as well. I saw Marla has commented above with a link to those of us outside US, so I will check that out and see if I can secure the pattern. Thanks for this Chris!!!
- 15 March, 2011 06:05
- KJ@letsgoflyakite said...
Okay, I just put in the order (shipping costs almost as much as the pattern!) so I can't wait. I think I have something in my stash I can use, even better.
- 15 March, 2011 06:10
- Neeta said...
I picked up the pattern last night from Fabricland (for the benefit of my fellow Canadians). It is my understanding that the pattern is sold anywhere Simplicity patterns are sold, so be sure to check around. I've never made a dress (other than for a child), so I will be following along very closely!
- 16 March, 2011 08:59
I just found this through Gwenny Penny's blog and decided I'm game for it. I'm (re-)learning to sew (might as well say I'm a beginner again) so this may be an interesting challenge, but i am really up to it. i really love this pattern: it's modest enough for my standards and probably would wear it as a tunic w/jeans rather than a dress.
- 18 March, 2011 14:09
- UmmLayla said...
I'm game, thanks to diyanthrogal! I already have the fabric and all :)
- 25 March, 2011 13:46
- Marci Girl said...
I want to play - let's do it! I have all these new Lisette patterns on my "to buy" list!
- 27 March, 2011 11:41

Just picked up my pattern yesterday, I'm excited to be doing my first sew along!!

Developed by their community of users, they construct games that operate on almost all platforms; from consoles and desktops to mobile and websites. Gaining a knowledge of both programs is hugely beneficial to any game developer, as it fine-tunes your insight and intuition for creating multi-faceted, compelling and exciting game levels. Whether you're still coming to grips with level design or already have a wealth of experience under your belt, learning level design with Blender and Unity 3D will ensure your skills are up to date and flawless.
Course Overview
This course includes over 66 lectures and 5 hours of content, suited to anyone with a basic understanding of Blender and Unity 3D. If your interests lie in level design, 3D modelling or texturing, then this course is for you. You'll first learn about the concepts and best practices of level design, from setting goals and getting references to planning and mapping out your level in Photoshop. You will then move on to modular design and complete basic object manipulation tasks; the first step to creating a full game level. You will go through each aspect of level design in detail; floors, ceilings, walls, focal points, props and other objects, filling in your level as you learn. Then, you'll add intricate texture to each of these elements, bringing your level design up a notch from basic to something much more professional looking. Reviews and quizzes have been incorporated into each section of this course so that the material covered is constantly refreshed. On completion, you will take away an up to date skill set in Unity 3D and Blender. You will have an understanding of graphics software, game engines, game level design, and how all of these elements work seamlessly to create fun and engaging games.

Two men gunned down in city
[Dawn] Two men were
rubbed out
in the city in separate incidents on Wednesday, police said.
The police added that assailants riding on a
cycle of violence
bumped off
an elderly man off the Superhighway within the remit of the Sohrab Goth
cop shoppe
They said that 62-year-old Burhanuddin was supervising some construction work in the Qayyumabad area off Superhighway when two men riding on a
cycle of violence
emerged there, fired shots on him and rode away. The body was shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
Area DSP Qamar Ahmed said that the victim was a resident of the same locality and hailed from Afghanistan. He was a member of an elders' peace committee, he added.
In Orangi Town, a young man was
rubbed out
, police said.
They added that the incident took place in Orangi Town's Sector 4-E within the remit of the Pirabad
cop shoppe
They said that Sher Bahadur, 22, was standing near a Biryani Centre when a man came close to him, fired at him and escaped.
The victim died.
The victim was a resident of Frontier Colony.
An area police officer said that the victim had a monetary dispute with someone. The police were carrying out raids for arrest of the suspect, he added.
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
no FIR pertaining to the killing was lodged till late in the night.
The victim's family told the police that they would lodge an FIR after the funeral.

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Thekeyplay.com.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Lunch pail defense.
Fan. Tastic.
Somebody put a nice snow day off into these...
The love poem that I'm giving my wife for Valentine's Day:
Roses are red
The fire is smoky
Let's have some fun
And make a new Hokie!
Lost it at the Moorehead one. Fantastic job.
I'm dying. This is amazing
The look on Moorehead's face fit that perfectly.
Oh yea, that's my favorite one.
Bravo. Bravo.
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I bet you can't tackle
Like AJ Hughes.
These should be up there, plus one with AJ Hughes standing over LOLUVA.
See the iconic of that pic (believe it or not) is not AJ standing over his conquered and captured prey, it's the two Hokies rejoicing in the foreground.
@VTmaroonUni @thekeyplay that's awesome!!! Happy Valentines Day — AJ Hughes (@AJ_HughesVT) February 14, 2014
Ha, nice. I need to be more active on Twitter. Just joined a few days ago but didn't think to send this to him myself.
obviously someone behind that account is a TKP'er mhmm interesting. I wonder who it could be???
Papa Fuller better get something nice for Mama Fuller today.
'Nuff said.
So at first my attitude for today was "Bah Humbug!" But having TKP offer up all the kick ass Valentine's cards makes it all better
Kind of NSFW, so instead of embedding, I will link this one. Bringing back a phrase that hasn't been used on TKP in a while:
Happy Valentines Day!
Benedict Cumberbatch and Hugh Laurie? What is this from?
Lost it the the fingerprint heart for the time cop
Great job!
Somebody needs to tweet that one to Moorehead.
Fantastic work
ohh wow lookie lookie..
@Amo8685 enjoy the love from @thekeyplay #choppinwood pic.twitter.com/OsOYLMsfxf— All Maroon Uni (@VTmaroonUni) February 14, 2014
@PhillyHokie007 @BilldozerVT @thekeyplay y'all have problems hahahaha— Aaron Moorehead (@Amo8685) February 14, 2014
Happy VDay, stick it in!
Oh I plan on it!
I hope everyone has a Happy V[to]Day :D
My sad attempt
Too lazy to photoshop, but:
Loeffler: "I can't stick it in without you"
You didn't...
You did.....
1,000 Legs for me oh man. I don't know what to do!! And on Valentines day I must be loved
I thought this was appropriate here today:
It's getting quiet around here. I think I know why. You all be safe and we'll see you later.

There are a lot of familiar images from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Here is one of them:
Those who don't know or haven't looked closely might not notice that there are two destroyers in front of the battleship. The drydock had been dry when the attack began, but after raging fires began setting off ammunition aboard the destroyers, it was flooded in an attempt to douse the flames. Cassin slipped from her blocks and rolled against Downes.
Both ships were 1500-ton Mahan-class ships and had been commissioned in the mid-30s.
Here's another image, taken from near where the two men in the first photo are standing at the head of the dock. The men on the Downes surveying the damage give a great sense of scale:
Notice the man in white uniform crawling on the Cassin, just behind the partially submerged #2 turret.
Here's a shot from the rear of the destroyers:
Here's an aerial view of the drydock area:
Also notice the undamaged tank farm in the lower left corner of the image. Failing to hit those was a tactical error that had strategic implications. Over the years I've come to the opinion that a third attack wave would have been a lot tougher to pull off than often described, and the defenders would have had even better luck than they did against the second wave (in which the Japanese suffered pretty heavy damage and losses), but they doubtlessly would have also caused more damage. Enough to change things much?
Here is a close view of the forward turrets on Downes:
Here is a view of the rear deck of Downes on the 8th:
Here are the ships on January 23rd, a month and a half after the attack:
The weaponry and much of the superstructure has been removed.
Here they are on February 5th. The Cassin has been refloated:
Cassin's hull was, unsurprisingly, a total loss. But her machinery and weapons were put into a new hull built at Mare Island and the ship with transplanted organs and the same pennant number returned to the fight.
Here's Cassin back in action:
Though not as badly damaged as Cassin, the machinery from Downes was also put into a new hull at Mare Island and she rejoined the fleet in 1943:
Here's a story about Wallace R. "Jack" Seiber, a 16-year-old who lied about his age to join the Navy and served aboard the rebuilt Downes.
Here are the action reports for Downes and Cassin for December 7, 1941. Lot of interesting stuff.
Given that the Mahan-class ships were far outclassed by the destroyers built during the war, I've always wondered why the effort was spent building the new hulls. Was it to get Pearl Harbor survivors back into the fight for morale reasons, or was there more to it? Mare Island appears to have been out of the destroyer-building business by the start of the war to focus on submarines. Mare Island had built two Mahans, though, so they knew how to put these ships together.
Regardless of the reasons, these two ships suffered badly on that Sunday morning 68 years ago. But they rose again and kept up the fight, both of them seeing the war through.

First opener a thrill for least experienced Astros
HOUSTON -- For the eight Astros players who were appearing on an Opening Day roster for the first time, Tuesday's game against the Yankees at Minute Maid Park was nothing short of a special day that won't be forgotten any time soon.
"I get to wear an Astros uniform today," said outfielder Robbie Grossman, who grew up in Houston. "That's special. I'm just excited for the games to start and for the season."
Astros manager Bo Porter said he met with the team on Sunday, and the players gave each of the first-time Opening Day players a round of applause.
Not only was it the first Opening Day in a Major League uniform for Grossman, but it was his first Major League Opening Day of any kind. He said he never came to the Astrodome or Minute Maid Park to watch the Astros while growing up, and he wasn't alone; teammate Marc Krauss was in the same boat.
"I guess we never could get out of school or could convince my parents," said Krauss, who grew up in northern Ohio. "Just to be part of this for the first time is very special."
Krauss nailed down an Opening Day slot with a terrific spring at the plate, and it doesn't hurt that he can play right field, left field, first base and designated hitter. His wife and baby were among his family contingent in the stands.
"It's what I worked for my whole career, especially this offseason," Krauss said. "I worked extra hard knowing I had a chance. This is why you do all that stuff, to get to this point. It's exciting. I finally got to this point, and I'm just excited to enjoy the day. It's going to be great."
Outfielder L.J. Hoes, who was acquired in a trade from the Orioles last year, was in the starting lineup, playing right field. Hoes said he slept for only about three hours on Monday night because he was excited and spent time talking to his parents about Opening Day.
"It's something they're all excited for and something I'm excited for," Hoes said.
Joining Grossman, Hoes and Krauss on their first Opening Day roster were Kevin Chapman, Jarred Cosart, Dallas Keuchel, Brett Oberholtzer and Jonathan Villar.

There's a reason you can't see stars in the city—lights. Lights everywhere! They drown the sky's bounty out, and apparently it's even affecting Arizona astronomers, who are unfortunately situated right by the border...and the border patrol's spotlights.
Border-jumpers and smugglers targeted by border patrol's bright helicopter lights are actually ruining the chances of the state's astronomers, located at Lawrence Whipple Observatory, when searching for new planets. Millions of dollars are pumped into the astronomy business, with millions more generated—but the occasional wrong flightpath of the helicopters causes havoc with the telescopes.
Ironically, as people flock to the observatory for a spot of stargazing, the businesses have followed, with shopping malls, retirement villages and other commercial hubs filling the area with their lights. Drivers are already encouraged to only use their parking lights when the sun goes down, but everything appears to add up and minimize the observatory's visibility, no matter how expensive their telescopes may be.

How to perform a power reset on a Sony television.
Follow the steps below to perform a power reset.
- Turn off the television.
- Unplug the television power cord (mains lead) from the electrical outlet.
- Let the television remain without power for 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord (mains lead) back into the electrical outlet.
- Turn on the television.

Make an impression with an AGS designed Website, Guest Services Guide and custom designed marketing materials that deliver results.
A Company You Can Trust
Finding an excellent publishing company isn't just about claims of exposure or numbers that can be thrown at you during a sales pitch. It's about finding a marketing company like AGS who provides quality work and conducts all business with integrity. You don't have to sort through our website wondering what makes sense. We don't offer good-sounding clever gimmicks to customers, because we don't have to.
According to one company, you're practically guaranteed to get traffic because they claim to have 45,000 visits every month, and who wouldn't want to be part of an audience like that? This claim seemed too good to be true so TXAD looked at a park's website we host that is featured on this site and used Google Analytics – a tool to evaluate clicks and where they come from. We didn't find a single click to the park's website from their banner ad on this self-proclaimed industry powerhouse. So, the claim of 45,000 monthly visitors to their website isn't doing this park any good. Here at AGS we want to caution campground and RV park owners against broad promises that sound really good but don't really deliver.
In our web division, TXAD Internet builds, hosts and maintains SEO-friendly websites established with responsive design, allowing your campground website to be viewable on every device. Our knowledge of Google standards and SEO boost search results, which brings more actual visitors to your website.
If a claim seems too good to be true, look before you leap. Pick a company you can trust. AGS publishes over two million environmentally friendly guest guides (site maps) annually in the U.S. and Canada.

About us
In the 1970's, our founder was crippled in a mining accident. His training for the job consisted of 45 minutes of instructions on how to drive a TEREX rock truck fully loaded up and down a mountain. The training was inadequate and am paying the consequences for the rest of my life. We understand that an injured employee and his employer are not the only ones affected by an incident. Entire families are affected, many times for generations. That's why we are in this business, to make training available (and affordable) for anyone to assist in preventing injuries at work or home.
It's simple, when it comes to safety, we want everyone to be trained; No Excuses, No Bull. We focus our efforts in creating effective affordable and accessible solutions so that everyone can be trained, minimizing the cost, the resources needed, and train 24/7, anytime and place.

Definition of Satay
Definition: Satay
They may sound similar, but don't confuse satay with sauté.
Satay is a Southeast Asian dish of meat that's been marinated and seasoned (often with turmeric), skewered, grilled over a fire, and served with a sauce for dipping. The delicacy is extremely popular in Indonesia, as well as neighboring countries Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, where it's served everywhere from street carts to high-end restaurants. Variations may contain every type of meat from chicken and beef to turtle and mutton, as well as offal.
Satay can also come with a wide range of accompanying dipping sauces, including peanut gravy, soy-based condiments, pineapple sauce, and cucumber relish. Have you ever made satay?
