Grim Lovelies
By Megan Shepherd
Published October 2, 2018 by HMH Books for Young Readers
Have you ever wondered about fairytale characters who are turned into animals? Or animals who are turned into people? If you have, Grim Lovelies is the book for you. It's the story of a group of "beasties," animals transformed into people who are fighting to stay human.
Our heroine Anouk and her fellow beasties were created by Mada Vittoria, a powerful witch living in Paris. Anouk is the youngest of the beasties, as she's only been human for a year. She is a house servant for her mistress, and she's never been allowed to leave the house. She watches Paris from the windows and wonders about the world outside. When Mada Vittoria is murdered, Anouk and the other beasties have only three days to find a spell to keep them human or else they will revert to their animal form.
This is a great setup for a fantasy novel, and there were parts of it I enjoyed. The magic world is an intriguing one, with royals at the top of the food chain and witches just underneath. Then there are the witches' boys, adopted sons who provide blood for their witch mothers' spells; goblins, who are treated as second-class citizens; and the beasties, who don't really fit in anywhere. I loved the goblins. They were hilarious, and their fashion choices sound awesome. (I love that the beasties occasionally mistake humans for goblins because Parisian humans have started dressing like goblins.) The stakes were high for the beasties. Going back to being an animal means losing their memories of being human and the found family they've made, and this is particularly hard for Anouk, who's only just begun to live.
There were some things that I was less into. I didn't find most of the characters very interesting, and the only one I found intriguing wasn't in the book very much and came to an unsatisfying end. I wasn't on board with the romantic aspects either. Anouk has a romantic entanglement with a fellow beastie and another character seems to be romantically interested in her. Since Anouk comes across as very young and innocent, two characters being so attracted to her seemed unrealistic (or a little creepy).
This book skews a little more to the younger side of YA, and I think readers in that age range will really enjoy it.
I received an ARC from Amazon Vine.

Xennial Planning was created because women are expected to take on more and more responsibility. We juggle multiple priorities including careers, relationships, aging parents, and children with few resources to guide us. We are expected to do it all! We are the heads of household and even managing the finances. It's too much! Let me take the financial piece off of your plate.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional and FIDUCIARY, I will strive to do what is in your best interest. No commissions and no hard sales. I want to build long lasting relationships with my clients and get to know each other not only a professional, but also a personal level.

The Closed People
Here they come,
they're never alone,
full circles I'm always out,
they never listen when I shout.
Who do them, who do them think they are?
The last comets in the sky?
A glance of heaven's door?
The last flight to paradise?
The clothes some god wore?
The keys of happiness?
All I see is blindness.
Closed people,
closed people,
living on the steeple,
you don't know me.
You don't know how good it could be
if I had a chance to uncover
how can I be such a good friend!
Such a good lover!
And this way we all are losing in the end.
(Júlio B.)

One of my work colleagues got married this summer. Since he is such a nice person I wanted to paint a wedding related portrait for him. Having wanted to dip into digital plein air for a while (still am) I had purchased this Digital Painting issue by Imagine FX in order to read the reviews of various tablets a while back. Flipping through the pages I immediately got hooked on the cover made by Jane Radstrom and thought that a painterly and loose style like that would fit really well for Davids wedding picture.
The wedding day arrived and passed, when I told some of my other colleagues about this idea of making a portrait for David they got excited and helped me get a hand on some photos from the couple taken during their wedding day.
I've been working on this piece for quite a while. Plan was to put the portrait as background on his desktop at work in order to surprise him when he got back from his vacation. That said and done, I waited, hoping to hear a word from him and that he'd liked it. But 1 hour passed then 2. Later I got the sad news that he is off sick for at least a week. As I am writing this blog post I'm composing an e-mail wishing him well and sending the low res image to him, the high res is so big that he can actually make an A3 print out of it if he wanted to. I wanted to post the photo I used as a reference but without his consent I wont.
If I were to redo it again I'd use brushes with more texture and also keep it looser. I have the nasty habit of wanting to render images for decades. And also have kept the portrait made by Jane Radstrom up all the time so that I'd carry that inspiration with me while working on this piece.

Mashreq bank representative jailed for stealing more than Dh600,000 from bank
The man used forged documents to apply for a loan then withdrew the full amount
A man who stole more than Dh600,000 from a local bank after applying for a loan using forged documents will spend three years in prison.
The 28-year-old Indian man worked for the bank and, in Dubai Criminal Court this month, denied charges of forgery, use of forged documents and fraudulently obtaining Dh635,000 from Mashreq Bank.
A second defendant, a 37-year-old Pakistani man, remains at large and was found not guilty of aiding and abetting.
Related: Fake documents and crooked bank worker led to Dh635,000 loss, prosecutors allege
In April last year, prosecutors said the pair forged a salary certificate from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority to show that the Pakistani was an employee there and received a monthly wage of Dh31,750.
The two allegedly used a forged a residency visa and a bank statement issued by National Bank of Abu Dhabi to open an account with Mashreq bank before applying for a personal loan.
"I have done nothing wrong. He gave me the documents when he was applying for the loan," said the Indian defendant in court.
The Emirati bank manager said that after the loan was approved and deposited into the defendant's account, the money was withdrawn before they discovered the documents were forged.
"We were double checking the documents by calling the bodies that issued them and they told us they issued no such letters," said the 43-year-old manager.
"We carried out an internal investigation and questioned the representative. It was strange how fast the application was processed by our employee. He was very tense and avoided answering when we asked him about that and about the whole application."
The defendant will be deported after serving his prison sentence.

IT'S always lovely to hear from readers in far-off lands and Burton, South Australia, fits the 'far-off land' bill perfectly.
Colne Valley lad Dennis Craig is nearly 86 now and lives in a nursing home in Burton, north of Adelaide, which is about 15 minutes' drive from his home in Elizabeth.
He was inspired to write when he got hold of a copy of the Examiner which carried a story about Ruth, the wife of Head Of Content Andy Hirst, and the trials of midwifery conducted in the teeth of a snowstorm.
Not a problem for midwives in Adelaide, we're guessing!
It turns out that Mr Craig's mother was a Colne Valley midwife.
"In 1937 I left Crow Lane School and two days later was taken on as an apprentice electrician with F W Taylor and Son on Manchester Road, Milnsbridge," he said. "That same month, July, my mother became the WRCC midwife for Golcar, Wellhouse, Crimble, Bolster Moor, Scapegoat Hill and Scammonden.
"We were living in Scar Lane, Golcar, which was in the Huddersfield Borough area so we had to move to 109, Station Road, Golcar. Mum borrowed £100 to buy a 1936 Austin Seven which my mates named the Maternity Express.
"What a difference to our lifestyle that car made! Dad was earning £3 10s a week as a pattern weaver at John Crowther's Milnsbridge and Mum got £4 10s a week as a midwife. We were posh – there were only four cars in Station Road in 1937.
"For about 30 years mum delivered babies in Colne Valley and attended the antenatal clinic held monthly at Golcar town hall."
It was on one of these days that the three Colne Valley midwives were told to practice taking blood pressure as they were going to have a sphygmomanometer, or blood pressure measurer, in their kit.
"When the doctor took mum's blood pressure she immediately stopped her working,'' said Dennis. "Her pressure was so high she was labelled a 'walking time bomb'. This broke mum's heart, as she loved her work."
Dennis, who says he used to go courting over Eastergate Bridge, got married and lived for a short time in Spring Street, Marsden, and then bought two cottages at Carr Top Lane, Golcar. "The cottages are now one house and look out over Wellhouse," he said.
He emigrated 50 years ago as a "£10 Pom" – the price of a one way passage – and has enjoyed a long and fruitful life in Australia.
"I love to keep in touch with the Colne Valley,'' he said. "Crow Lane School holds many pleasant memories. I received a sound grounding in skills which have stood me in good stead through a long working life."
Our story started with snowbound midwives. At the opposite end of the scale, Mr Craig's niece, her husband and two girls, formerly of Parkwood Road, Golcar, were threatened by the bush fire that killed many people recently near Adelaide.
"The live in a place called Bendigo," he said. "Fortunately they were away from the fire zone."
Mr Craig would love to hear from Huddersfield people. His address is Room F8, Domus Operosa, 316-379 Waterloo Corner Road, Burton, South Australia 5110.

Who Is Coming to the Artefactual Field Experiment? Participation Bias among Chinese Rural Migrants
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 20953
In this paper, we compare participants in an artefactual field experiment in urban China with the survey population of migrants from which they were recruited. The experimental participants were more educated, more likely to lend money to friends, and worked fewer hours than the general population. They differ significantly from non-participants in terms of regression coefficients, such as the effects of wealth and marital status on the probability of being self-employed and distance migrated. We thus find that there was selection into our experiments on the basis of both observable characteristics and on unobserved differences in behavioral relations.

Why Car Insurance For Women is Less Expensive
If you are looking for affordable motor insurance for females then you have many choices to pick from and also this task can sometimes be daunting. It seems that everywhere you appear, whether it is on the internet, on television, or online, there are countless advertisements from every insurer in the sunshine claiming to become the best company with all the lowest prices. Most people are smart enough to never you need to a company's word because of it, but instead, were more likely to investigate further as to the compatibility of your organization to your driving situation and needs. I'd like to talk about how billionaire Warren Buffett could save you money on your motor vehicle coverage.
- Women is able to reduce the cost of insurance using all of the factors which can be in their favor
- To get the best coverage at the cheapest rate is easier for females than for males
- This can be done by researching all the various insurance agencies and what the offer
- It is best to keep in mind that age the trucker, the place and the driving record of the driving force along with the health of the motive force play a large role in cutting the expense of insurance
How to Conduct a Car Insurance Search
Getting car insurance quotes from at least three reputable insurance carriers will be the best to guarantee obtaining the best coverage for your lowest premium. Each provider has different methods of assessing risk and different discounts they offer. It is because of this that rates tend to change from provider to provider. This can be a tedious and frustrating process when carried out person or by phone, which explains why it seems sensible to use online insurance comparison calculators. – Cheap online vehicle insurance is one of the major advantages of buying cover online
- If you are buying your automobile insurance online it provides you with the chance check quote, compare rates after which purchase from the one which best match your pocket
- There are various kinds of cover packages everything you should caused by obtain the best of motor insurance cover is to search well
Each of these outcomes leads insurance companies to imagine that ladies are actually safer drivers than men. It is important to remember however that all individual's record is going to be research through the insurance company. If you are a woman driver who may have had several accidents or traffic violations, it'll be hard for you to find finance insurance.

Work begins on new £8million primary school in Hethersett
PUBLISHED: 12:48 30 July 2019 | UPDATED: 12:54 30 July 2019
butterflyeffect / realitypaused.com
Work has started on a new £8 million primary school, set to create an extra 420 school places in a growing village.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Monday, July 29 to celebrate the start of construction of the school in Hethersett.
The school, which will be called Hethersett Woodside Primary and Nursery, will also feature a stand-alone nursery for 56 children as well as a hard play area and equipment for the students.
The development is part of a significant restructuring of schooling in the village, with the county council looking to ensure it is able to cope with planned housing developments in the area.
The changes will see both Woodside Infant School and Hethersett Junior School becoming primary schools, with the former moving into the new building from its current Firs Road site in 2020.
You may also want to watch:
Angela Jermy, head of Woodside Infant School, said: "This is an incredibly exciting time for pupils, parents, staff and all our stakeholders and we are all looking forward to seeing this new school take shape over the next few months.
"We are all confident that by working together we can extend our current outstanding practice to key stage two and ensure that our children get the best possible start for their future development."
National construction company Morgan Sindall is leading the project and visited year three pupils at Woodside Infant School to lead lessons on building safety as well as helping the children complete their own construction project.
Framework manage, John Stedman said: "We look forward to collaborating and working closely with the local community and the wider project team as we deliver the new school and nursery.
"The new school will provide local students with a first-class learning environment from which to begin their academic journey."
The company has been appointed to build the new two-form entry £7m primary school in Great Yarmouth on the current North Denes Primary School site, creating a 420-place school with sports fields and playgrounds.

"I Love the word NakhreWaali! It's got sass. It's fun. It really reminds you of the old world fun era. NakhreWaali has this old world quirky charm to it. If you want to be pretentious go ahead! If you want to be subtle go ahead!"
I grew up watching plays and reading books, I think from a young age we all are conditioned to creativity. So when I landed a job in a bank, my creative side was jumping around searching for an outlet amidst all the technical work. I started my blog 'Words of Worth' as my creative outlet. Every post I put up filled me with a sense of satisfaction and made me whole. Writing is something that feeds my passion, so I kept on writing and kept on posting, hoping that my words make a change in people's life.
I think poetry is a very powerful medium to express emotions. Saying a few pointed things in a few lines really reaches to the heart and makes you feel something. I believe that if you are saying something that has a reason and purpose then it will resonate with people. This is something that always attracted me, and made an impact on me. That is what I want my audience to feel. The magic of poetry is powerful and I hope that my words connect with people.
I think that being in a creative field everyone is in search of validation. People reading my work, appreciating it and recognizing me for it really meant a lot to me. My core goal when I started my blog was to push literature to the fore. The superficial digital world with memes and selfies really got to me. I wanted other sectors like literature to be incorporated in the digital space as well. Along the way when people started to connect with my words, it filled me with a lot of joy.
What I want people to take away from my words is that Life is not a construct that you perceive it is. There are a lot of flaws and incompetencies in people, there are a lot of unreal things that we cannot wrap our heads around and it's all okay. There is space for everyone on the spectrum. I want my poetry to be as inclusive as possible, I want a bi-curious person to read my work and resonate with it. I want someone from different sexuality to read my words and resonate with it. I want women to be empowered when they read my work. I want my words to resonate with the entire community, including men who are overshadowed by the norm of masculinity. I want my words to tell them that they are not alone.

Continued from here.
However, that never happens at this time of year. Here are the stresses that have kept me in a high state of anxiety this January, but there is always something similar at this time of year… My son had no school for five days straight (including the weekend) due to an ear infection and inclement weather. There goes the gym, yoga, and meditation. (He has attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder – ADHD – and is very hyper with a low attention span.) I have been waiting to hear back from a part-time job I really want. I was told I would hear in 48 hours … it's been a month. I can tell online that I have been neither hired nor "rejected" through their website – I am in perpetual limbo and don't want to make long-term plans until I know whether I am taking on this commitment or not.
My husband scheduled a business meeting on the evening of my kid's birthday. He is his own boss with complete control over his own schedule – he just didn't think about it. So, I raced around like a madwoman to throw together a last minute birthday party for my kid so he wouldn't notice that his father was "too busy" to have time for him on his birthday.
I have had a reader trying to debate me on the blog and, instead of sharing gentle constructive criticism or a different perspective, taking me on directly and accusing me of posting erroneous and harmful information for my readers. I take my blog very seriously, and if it were true that I was posting harmful stuff on this blog, it would truly break my heart. At the same time, my professional blog "disappeared." This has all been worked out (was a simple technical issue), but I feared that three years of my writings were simply "gone" – three years of my life, with my soul poured onto those pages.
I could go on forever just about the blog. My blog has exploded in readership over the last few months. I used to consider it an amazing feat if 400 or so people read it in a day. Now, it is consistently averaging well over 1,000 page views in a day. The Black Swan blog entry alone has had over 2,000 page views at the time that I am writing this, and rather than celebrate this, I doubt myself. I wrote that blog entry to help me process a movie that resonated with me so deeply and triggered me. (I still want to write about how much of myself I saw in Nina and how that disturbs me greatly.)
To be continued…

The first South American country to join the OECD, Chile has long enjoyed a reputation as one of South America's most prosperous nations – and the statistics seem to bear this out. The country has the lowest poverty rates in the continent and the third highest GDP per capita.
Chile also enjoys a deserved reputation for stability and good governance. Chile has been described as a model for financial transparency on the continent and the Global Competitiveness Report ranked the country as the most competitive economy in Latin America.
This is not to say the country is without problems. Traditionally the health of the country's economy fluctuated with the price of copper, and the government is seeking to diversify the economy. However, mining still accounts for around 60% of exports, followed by fresh fruits, salmon and iodide. Manufacturing – primarily machinery, petrol, chemicals and food products – accounted for around 34% of GDP.
Chile's wine industry is growing, both in size and reputation, and the country has recently joined the top ten wine exporters in the world. In recent years, Chile's fruit and vegetable exports have reached record levels as the government targeted new markets in Europe, Asia and North America.

I've spent a lot of time in Bristol this week. As well as meeting with members of the Bristol Somali Forum to discuss the views of the local Somali community, I also met with Integrate Bristol's Director Lisa Zimmerman. On Wednesday, I attended the Bristol City Gathering and the Bristol Ideal Awards. Meeting with people, who are at the heart of their local community, is vital in making sure that I am and continue to be your voice in policing and ensuring the police are concentrating on the things that matter most to you.
A particular highlight of my week was being invited by Mayor Marvin Rees to speak as part of the City Leadership Programme. The programme aims to help groups of 18-20 year olds develop their skills to become future leaders. As part of this, I was invited to talk about my role as your elected PCC, my opinion on what makes a good leader and was able to offer some advice I'd picked up along the way. I welcome any opportunity that gives people, in particular young people, the chance to gain an insight into leadership roles and shared the same vision as the programme, in setting up my Shadowing Scheme earlier this year.
Working together is the only way we can make a real difference for our communities now and for generations to come. It's also the mind set behind our newly published Bristol 'plan to keep you safer', developed jointly by my office and Bristol City Council. The plan takes the policing priorities that have been set for Avon and Somerset and translates them on a local level, to ensure that together we are keeping our local communities safe and feeling safe. Together, the Safer Bristol Partnership, the Mayor and I are committed to delivering this plan and protecting our neighbourhoods. You can view the Bristol Plan at www.avonandsomersetplan.co.uk.
Next week, on Thursday, July 20, I'm due to be back in Bristol on one of my regular community days. During the day I'll be holding a public drop-in session at the Malcom X centre between 10.45 and 12.30pm. These sessions are to give local residents the chance to come along and put their local policing questions to myself and members of the local neighbourhood policing team. If you're available during this time, it would be great if you could come along, even if it's just to say hi. In the afternoon I'll be attending the Justice Advisory Group and in the evening, I've been invited by Made in Bristol to join them on their Crunch the Week show to talk about topics in the media that week. Tune in if you can.

Spatialization Processes in the Americas: Configurations and Narratives
Workshop Report
On 5 and 6 April 2017 an interdisciplinary workshop about "Spatialization Processes in the Americas: Configurations and Narratives" took place at the University of Leipzig. It was held by the SFB 1199 project "Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition". Organized by Heidrun Zinecker, Gabriele Pisarz-Ramirez, and Hannes Warnecke-Berger, the workshop focused on the Americas as a particularly relevant area for spatial constructions. As an interdisciplinary event, it portrayed the diversity of the topic by involving geostrategical, cultural, historical, philosophical, geographical, and political perspectives.
The first day focused on spaces and places. The first panel Gesa Mackenthun and Michael Zeuske presented their research on how colonization influenced spatialization. Mackenthun analysed the differences and common ground between colonial and decolonial inscription of land and stressed the importance of native oral traditions as a counterpart to the colonists' perspectives of landscapes. Zeuske described how colonization and slavery caused the appropriation of space, not just in North and South America but also in Africa and Europe, which were engaged in slave trade and supply as well.
In the second panel, Megan Maruschke and Peter Birle talked about the fragmentation and integration of spaces within the Americas. Maruschke described the divergence from empires by examining the respective independence of the US and Haiti. Birle analysed challenges and obstacles of regional cooperation and integration, which is often confronted with national interests.
The last panel of the day was dedicated to symbolizing and representing spaces. Heinz Peter Brogiato contributed with a presentation about the travel photography of German tourists in the New World at the end of the nineteenth century. He showed how American professional photographers created national images for foreigners by taking selective pictures of their journeys. Ute Wardenga and Stefan Pietsch analysed how the National Geographic Society opened its definition of "national space" during the first years of its formation in order to reach a broader audience and to network internationllly.
Boundaries and borders were discussed on the second day of the workshop. Antje Dietze and Heike Paul began the day with a panel about setting and transgressing boundaries. The focus of Dietze's presentation was shifting territories of theatrical entertainment in North America at the turn of the twentieth century. She talked about how performance groups had to control their own territories while being integrated in a transregional actor network. Paul presented abolitionist utopias produced by black writers in Chatham, Canada in the mid-nineteenth century. Black people created their spaces of freedom in writing while living in a precarious state in North America, thereby creating a spatial temporal paradox.
The second panel of the day was about managing and mapping transnational spaces. Hannes Warnecke-Berger presented on how Salvadorian workers in the US create a transnational remittances economy. He demonstrated how the phenomenon itself remains transnational only to the countries' elites, while the social conflict between sender and recipient remains in a local frame. The presentation of Jana Moser focused on the spatialization of border regions as portrayed by maps. In particular, she referred to the US-Mexican border, showing how movement like border crossing can be reflected in a map.
The last panel of the day and of the workshop was dedicated to borderlands and rimlands. Josef Raab talked about the US-Mexican border and explained the spatial images created around it in the media, including books, films, and political speeches. Gabriele Pisarz-Ramírez used texts by two authors in the nineteenth century to analyse Florida as a hemispheric region between the US and the Caribbean.
Every panel was completed by a discussion introduced by a commentator who responded to the contributions and was followed by questions from the audience. There was a lively discussion about the use of concepts such as border, boundary, frontier, or territory and the participants agreed on the need to further define these terms. Because of the diversity of contributions, the concept of spatialization in the Americas was treated on many different levels. This underlined the importance to differentiate, or rather clarify, the scales one is talking about. The mixture of micro and macro analysis as well as of short-term and long-term perspectives would lead to confusion and inconsistency otherwise. The discussion also pointed out that spatial concepts must not be analysed as separate phenomena, but always in the context of how they influence living conditions. Otherwise, investigation would lose its relevance. There was a general support of the idea to internationalize local findings and to compare them to findings from other parts of the world in order to further generalize the spatial concepts developed for the Americas in this workshop. Concluding remarks were given by Matthias Middell in his function as spokesperson of the SFB. The contributions of the workshop will be published in a collection of essays by the organizers in 2018.

Kwekwe-born Australia-based musician, Cozzy Kozile will be launching his debut album titled Uchandifunga on 19 September at Bar Rouge. The launch is set to be graced by a buffet of local music talent in hip-hop, Sungura and Zimdancehall.
Kozile, who moved to Australia in 2013 says he decided to rope in some of the hottest names outside his Afro-Jazz genre because he only wants to bring people together.
"I have an assorted line up of supporting acts to my launch because I feel music is not about genres, music is a feeling and what is important is bringing people together and socialise," he said.
Two days later, Kozile will head down to his home town, Kweke, where he will host a soccer tournament before performing, as a way of giving back to the community.
"I'm trying to give back to the community I grew up in, they raised me well and it is now time to thank them and assure them that they have a son who remembers them. As a result, I will host a soccer tournament at Mbizo Stadium on 21 September before performing that night. Admission will be free and I am planning to make this an annual event," said the crooner.
The album launch will be graced by Enzo Ishall, Stunner, Baba Harare, Sulumani Chimbetu among many others.
Kozile already has four singles, Ndidaire, Kurera Bere, Zvirimudzimba and Matiregerera which features Carlos Green.

For Immediate Release
Nathan Donley, (971) 717-6406, firstname.lastname@example.com
California EPA Becomes First U.S. Agency to Declare That Roundup Causes Cancer
SACRAMENTO, CA - The state of California announced today that as of July 7 it will list glyphosate, the main ingredient in the pesticide Roundup and the most common pesticide in the world, as a known human carcinogen under the state's Proposition 65.
Today's decision by the California Environmental Protection Agency was prompted by the World Health Organization's finding that glyphosate is a "probable" human carcinogen. The WHO's cancer research agency is widely considered to be the gold standard for research on cancer.
"California's decision makes it the national leader in protecting people from cancer-causing pesticides," said Nathan Donley, a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity and a former cancer researcher. "The U.S. EPA now needs to step up and acknowledge that the world's most transparent and science-based assessment has linked glyphosate to cancer."
The state was cleared to move forward with its decision earlier this year to list glyphosate after a court denied Monsanto's efforts to postpone the listing pending the outcome of the pesticide company's legal challenge of the decision.
Glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in the United States as well as the world, and is the most widely used pesticide in California, as measured by area of treated land.
Never Miss a Beat.

An analysis by the Center, available in English and Spanish, found that more than half of the glyphosate sprayed in California is applied in the state's eight most-impoverished counties. The analysis also found that the populations in these counties are predominantly Hispanic or Latino, indicating that glyphosate use in California is distributed unequally along both socioeconomic and racial lines.
Earlier this year a report released by a federal scientific advisory panel concluded that the pesticides office at the U.S. EPA failed to follow its own guidelines when it found last year that glyphosate — the active ingredient in Monsanto's flagship pesticide Roundup — is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.
Recent court documents revealed that the chair of the federal EPA's Cancer Assessment Review Committee on glyphosate was in contact with Monsanto, providing insider information on the potential carcinogen listing, allowing the company to launch a campaign against it.
The committee chair promised to thwart the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' review of glyphosate's safety, saying that if he was successful he deserved a medal. The department never did review glyphosate's safety, and the U.S. EPA continues to dispute the WHO's cancer research agency's findings.
"This is a remarkable day for California, which forged ahead and did the right thing on glyphosate even while special-interest politics hamstring our federal government from taking action to protect people from this dangerous pesticide," Donley said.

Gilly Salmon's Five Stage Model: a useful referrence « Mollybob Goes To School
- Salmon's model moves away from the increasingly dated notion that the effective eLearning can be achieved through static learning objects (Downes 2005), and takes a social learning perspective with particular emphasis on communities of practice, providing a framework to support Wenger's assertion that "learning cannot be designed: it can only be designed for – that is, facilitated or frustrated" (1998, p. 228).
- Salmon's model is also reliant upon scaffolding, extending Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (in Attwell 2006) proposition with the model's structure implying that the moderator acts as an initial scaffold who gradually shifts responsibility for development to the learning community under their guidance, with learners developing their own scaffolding based on relationships with many within the community, and eventually, beyond the community.

Personalizing Learning – The Important Role of Technology — Open Education
"My job is to present the material in an interesting and meaningful way," he would say. "It is the student's job to learn that material."
Implicit in his statement was the idea that it was the student's role to adjust to the various styles employed by different teachers. Whether the teacher featured a lecture format or a hands-on approach was immaterial – the assumption was that students were the ones who needed to be flexible
- any failure on the student's part to master the material was not the responsibility of the teacher
- students moved along as a group, each doing the same set of assignments, each expected to master the exact same set of learning objectives by a date set forth in the syllabus
- differentiating for a specific learner was perceived as showing favoritism
- today's teacher is expected to adjust to the varied preferences of students so as to maximize the learning potential of each individual in the classroom
- Personalizing learning involves differentiating the curricula, including expectations and timelines, and utilizing various instructional approaches so as to best meet the needs of each individual
- The challenge is not so much what those elements consist of but how to piece the elements together to form a cohesive strategy
- But technology also plays a more important role in the personalization process. Ultimately it is the conduit for teachers to move to a learning approach that features materials developed for each individual student
- One of the critical elements to a cohesive strategy involves the concept of a learning platform
- First teachers must have a clear understanding of the learning needs of each student
- teachers must monitor and assess student progress intently
- Learning paths must then be created that match the aptitude and learning styles of every individual
- One of the first elements is increased communication among educators themselves as well as with their individual students
- That means increased use of email
- Better yet, it means posting that assignment online for students and parents to access directly
- No one educator could possibly create unique learning materials for every single student
- An expectation that all teachers are ready for such steps is destined for failure
Accessing e-learning resources in the NHS « e-LiME
- Whereas in Africa limited infrastructure is producing an information bottleneck, access in the UK is restricted by 'denial of service' restrictions placed upon a competent and fast modern system
- how do we go about managing the risks more effectively to allow NHS staff to access online learning resources and tools which many of us take for granted
Pontydysgu – Bridge to Learning – Educational Research
- what processes people perceived as important for knowledge maturing within their organisation and how ell they though these processes were important. The two processes perceived as most important were 'reflection' and 'building relationships' between people. These were also the two processes seen as amongst the least supported
- The issue of 'reflection' is more complex. e-Portfolio researchers have always emphasised the centrality of reflection to learning, yet it is hard to see concrete examples of how this can be supported
We Must Stop the Avalanche of Low-Quality Research – Commentary – The Chronicle of Higher Education
- the amount of redundant, inconsequential, and outright poor research has swelled in recent decades
- 40.6 percent of the articles published in the top science and social-science journals (the figures do not include the humanities) were cited in the period 2002 to 2006
- As a result, instead of contributing to knowledge in various disciplines, the increasing number of low-cited publications only adds to the bulk of words and numbers to be reviewed
- The avalanche of ignored research has a profoundly damaging effect on the enterprise as a whole. Not only does the uncited work itself require years of field and library or laboratory research. It also requires colleagues to read it and provide feedback, as well as reviewers to evaluate it formally for publication. Then, once it is published, it joins the multitudes of other, related publications that researchers must read and evaluate for relevance to their own work. Reviewer time and energy requirements multiply by the year
- The pace of publication accelerates, encouraging projects that don't require extensive, time-consuming inquiry and evidence gathering
- Questionable work finds its way more easily through the review process and enters into the domain of knowledge
- Aspiring researchers are turned into publish-or-perish entrepreneurs, often becoming more or less cynical about the higher ideals of the pursuit of knowledge
- The surest guarantee of integrity, peer review, falls under a debilitating crush of findings, for peer review can handle only so much material without breaking down. More isn't better. At some point, quality gives way to quantity
- Several fixes come to mind:
- First, limit the number of papers to the best three, four, or five that a job or promotion candidate can submit. That would encourage more comprehensive and focused publishing
- Second, make more use of citation and journal "impact factors
- Third, change the length of papers published in print: Limit manuscripts to five to six journal-length pages
- and put a longer version up on a journal's Web site
- what we surely need is a change in the academic culture that has given rise to the oversupply of journals
- Finally, researchers themselves would devote more attention to fewer and better papers actually published, and more journals might be more discriminating
Pontydysgu – Bridge to Learning – Educational Research
- the present 'industrial' schooling system is fast becoming dysfunctional, neither providing the skills and competences required in our economies nor corresponding to the ways in which we are using the procedural and social aspects of technology for learning and developing and sharing knowledge
- Personal Learning Environments can support and mediate individual and group based learning in multiple contexts and promote learner autonomy and control
- The role of teachers in such an environment would be to support, model and scaffold learning
- Such approaches to learning recognise the role of informal learning and the role of context
- Schools can only form one part of such collaborative and networked knowledge constellation
- institutions must rethink and recast their role as part of community and distributed networks supporting learning and collaborative knowledge development
- the major impact of the uses of new technologies and social networking for learning is to move learning out of the institutions and into wider society
- This is a two way process, not only schools reaching outwards, but also opening up to the community, distributed or otherwise, to join in collaborative learning processes
- At the same time new interfaces to computers and networks are likely to render the keyboard obsolescent, allowing the integration of computers and learning in everyday life and activity
