IESC Names David Hartingh as President & CEO
Washington, DC—August 15, 2018–International Executive Service Corps (IESC) announces the appointment of David Hartingh as its President & CEO effective August 15, 2018. Hartingh succeeds Ambassador (ret.) Tom Miller, who had served as IESC's President & CEO since September 2010.
"We have chosen a strong and capable leader to drive IESC's continued transformation and success and to achieve IESC's mission. This is an ideal time for David to become IESC's President & CEO given the dynamic global environment we face today and the significant need around the world for the services and assistance that IESC provides," stated IESC Board Chair Wing Keith. "David will be a great leader for IESC as he has the experience, capability, and commitment to execute IESC's vision and strategy to accomplish substantial results. He knows the organization and field of international development extremely well and is highly respected by clients, counterparts, staff, and our board," added Tom Miller.
Hartingh is an entrepreneurial international development executive with more than 23 years of experience in international economic development, small and medium enterprise development, and international trade. He joined IESC headquarters in Washington, DC in 2005, serving as IESC's Chief Operating Officer & Executive Vice President since 2016. Previously, he was IESC's Vice President of Global Programs, and before that was Associate Vice President and practice lead for trade and enterprise development. Hartingh has been instrumental in transforming IESC's operating model and systems and in both winning competitively and delivering successfully on numerous large-scale economic development projects around the world.
IESC was founded in 1964 by a group of American business leaders, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists —chiefly David Rockefeller—who believed that businesses are the engines that drive economic growth and innovation, and that supporting them can lift countries out of poverty. IESC, a Washington, DC based non-profit, applies private sector solutions around the world to improve standards of living, create and preserve jobs, and help enterprises grow. IESC leaves behind sustainable businesses, robust institutions, knowledgeable and skilled people, and thriving communities.

Leadership & Management | School Change, Reform, & Restructuring

'An ideal text for challenging the thinking of those studying for NPQH… The conclusion by the authors suggests nine major points to consider if improvement for schools in extremely challenging circumstances is to happen and be sustained. These 'nine lesson for policy makers' are very frank and pertinent points, let's hope at least some of our policy makers read them!' - ESCalate
'Rarely does a book on education reform capture both the big and the small picture with such brilliant clarity. MacBeath and his colleagues furnish a 'no holds barred' account of the ins and outs of understanding and assessing the impact of schools struggling for success. A fascinating read' - Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto
Schools serving young people on the margins of society face a major challenge in trying to create an environment where students can succeed.
The book examines key issues in the field of school improvement. More specifically, it draws on evidence from the SFECC (Schools Facing Exceptionally Challenging Circumstances) project to explore:
o the policy context of schools on the edge
o the nature of extreme challenges
o the way schools have responded to extreme challenge
o what seems to be effective in helping such schools to meet the challenge
o obstacles to success and the facilities and resources that can make a difference
o strategies to meet the needs of the local community and facilitate lasting change.
Each of the authors has wide experience of school effectiveness and improvement, and of working with schools in disadvantaged communities in Britain, the USA and many other parts of the world.
School leaders, local authorities, practitioners and all those involved in any aspect of school leadership and school improvement will find this book highly pertinent.

'Those who have written about Octet before have suffered from the mixed blessing of receiving DfES cash to carry out their evaluations. This book gets closest to breaking free from the shackles of having accepted the Government shilling. Presumably this is in part because the main originators of the scheme have left the DfES and been replaced by others less wedded to proving the success of the model. In any case, such is the reputation of the authors that they would not be prepared to trim their findings to suit some official line… It's to be hoped that policy-makers in all three main political parties read at least the last chapter' - Times Educational Supplement

A college-level critical pedagogy project confirms that human rights reporting can play a role in prison abolition as opposed to reform. By writing an altered version of the ICRC torture papers, students compared US prison torture in domestic and military sites, confirmed the application of a torture label to US prisons, decentered the classroom, and shifted foundational categories, including those around a capital crime. Creating counter-narratives partly based on the perspectives of the prisoners themselves extends the radical potential of human rights work. When combined with critical pedagogy, human rights writing can help create anti-carceral praxis.

Las biguanidas son moléculas o grupos de medicamentos que funcionan como antidiabéticos orales para el tratamiento de la diabetes mellitus y algunos como antimaláricos. El desinfectante poliaminopropil biguanida tiene en su estructura un grupo funcional biguanida.

Ejemplos
Algunas biguanidas de uso comercial incluyen:
 Metformina - Hoy en día es el medicamento de elección para tratar a todo paciente con diabetes mellitus desde el momento del diagnóstico. La recomendación de utilizarlo como medicamento de primera elección solo en los pacientes obesos, en la actualidad no tiene fundamento.
 Fenformina - antidiabético retirada del mercado de varios países por la diversidad de efectos tóxicos.
 Buformina - antidiabético retirada del mercado de varios países por la diversidad de efectos tóxicos.
 Proguanil - una droga antimalárica.

Mecanismo de acción
A diferencia de otros antidiabéticos orales como las sulfonilurea y las meglitinidas, las biguanidas no afectan la liberación de insulina. Por lo tanto, no solo son efectivas para el tratamiento de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 sino que pueden también ser efectivas en la diabetes mellitus tipo 1 en conjunto con la terapia insulínica.

El mecanismo exacto de la acción de las biguanidas no se entiende por completo. Se sabe que en las hiperinsulinemias, las biguanidas mejoran los niveles de insulina en ayunas del plasma sanguíneo. Las biguanidas tienden a hacer que las células del cuerpo absorban la glucosa circulante, reduciendo la glucemia. Sus usos terapéuticos derivan de su capacidad de reducir la gluconeogénesis y la glucogenólisis en el hígado y, como resultado, reducen los niveles de glucosa sanguíneos. En los eritrocitos, la metformina incrementa la captación de glucosa independientemente de la insulina.

Su acción reductora de la glicemia no depende de la presencia de células beta pancreáticas funcionantes. Aumenta la unión de la insulina en el músculo y el tejido adiposo de modo que la glucosa pueda absorberse y reduce la absorción de glucosa desde el intestino. Es también capaz de reducir las concentraciones plasmáticas del glucagón.

Efectos
 Disminuye la glucosa posprandial, es decir, justo después de una comida.
 Reduce la concentración de triglicéridos plasmáticos en un 15-20%.
 Reduce la concentración de la hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1C)
 Disminuye la frecuencia de aparición de complicaciones microvasculares.
 Contribuye a disminuir el peso en pacientes con obesidad.

Efectos secundarios
El efecto adverso más frecuente es diarrea y acidez en un 3% de los pacientes. Puede también causar vómitos, anorexia y malestar abdominal. El efecto secundario más severo es la acidosis láctica. La fenformina y la buformina son más propensos de producir una acidosis láctica que lo es la metformina. En combinación con otras drogas, la metformina puede producir hipoglicemia y otros efectos adversos.

El tratamiento prolongado con la metformina puede producir disminución de la absorción intestinal de vitamina B12 y ácido fólico. En ausencia de hipoxia, insuficiencia renal y hepática, la acidosis láctica con la metformina es menos común, aproximadamente 0,1 casos por cada 1000 pacientes.

Contraindicaciones
No se deben administrar biguanidas en pacientes con insuficiencia renal o insuficiencia hepática, pacientes alcohólicos o con enfermedades cardiopulmonares crónicas.

Q: passing keyword argument to inner function when outer function has keyword argument with the same name I have two functions defined roughly like this:
def func_inner(bar=0):
    print('inner bar:', bar)

def func_outer(bar=-1, *args, **kwargs):
    print('outer bar:', bar)
    func_inner(*args, **kwargs)

Is there a way to call func_outer and provide it with two values of bar - one for func_outer, and the other to be passed over to func_inner? Calling func_outer(bar=1,bar=2) clearly does not work.
It's possible to overcome the issue by specifying bar values as positional arguments, like func_outer(1,2), but I'd like to specify them as keyword arguments for both functions.
Is there a solution entirely at the caller's side (ie. without altering the functions)?

A: No, there is none
You cannot pass two arguments with the same name to a function. Thus, you will not be able to have the key "bar" in kwargs.
Thus you cannot pass this argument without modifying the two functions.
There may be a more adapted way to what you're doing
This is the kind of code that pops up in a decorator. In this kind of case, you may want to make the outer function currified.

In Which the Pirate Talks About Socks.
Firstly, an awesome person from Ravelry was able to help me out with the Pirate Booty yarn. She has a whole skein but small feet, so she asked me to estimate what I needed and she'll mail it to me. How great is that? I did the math and came out with ten or twelve rows remaining, so I told her that I guessed 12 feet would be enough. I hope that's enough. I'm nervous now that it's not, but I didn't want to ask for more than I needed! Anyway, I expect that to come in the mail sometime next week, and then I can get this sock done.
Also, I am getting started on Pirate-Husband's Plain Socks. I'm using Regia 4-ply in a marled brown/brown/black colorway, and just doing plain top-down socks with a flap heel and gusset. I measured his feet yesterday and took a gauge swatch off some other Regia socks I made. 9 stitches to the inch, times 10 inches around his feet, minus 10% for ease, gives me 80 stitches (okay, 81, but 80 is a nice round number). These should go pretty fast! I'll take pictures when there's something to show.

MGEN Autoguider: Simplicity meets Precision.
The MGEN Autoguider not only uses small pixels (4.7µm) but also a unique algorithm of unrivaled accuracy of 1/50 pixel for guiding. The algorithm is develeoped by a hungarian professor for artificial intelligence (AI). No other device comes even close to that accuracy - it's outstanding and unique.
The MGEN Autoguider offers the Random Displacement command. The Teleskope is moved between exposures for just a few pixel, thus resulting in hotpixels to disappear and lower general noise when adding (stacking) multiple exposures. Using MGENs random displacement function increases overall image quality, it can even make dark frames obsolete!
The MGEN Autoguider directly controls your DSLRs exposure series. No remote control release necessary. You can even control CCD Cameras exposures by software.
MGENs Sensor (Sony ICX279AL-E) is very sensitive. You can easily guide on 11mag faint stars at 1sec exposure time. . Even 12mag stars are possible - at a field of 1.5° diagonal!
Setting up your mount and make a very accurate polar alignment in just a few minutes with a digital application of the Scheiner Method (drift alignment). By measuring the stars drift, the MGEN Autoguider calculates the misalignment and you can easily correct it using the built in display (live view). Thats especially important for portable (travel) mounts where good polar alignment often is tricky to achieve.
...and there is more to come!
MGEN can be used stand alone (without any computer, just handcontrol) or remote in observatory mode by a remote PC via USB connection. Even On / Off switch is remote manageable.
Stand alone Mode: Everything manageable on the handbbox - just a 12V Power supply needed.
Remote Mode: Espeacially for remote sites / observatories. Everything can be controlled on a pc on a graphical user interface - even on / off switch is remote manageable.
The MGEN is the ultimate guiding solution. I do astrophotography with 35 different telescopes and photolenses on 7 different mouns - only with MGEN mounted on a 9x50 viewfinder with the same settings. Choose guidestar, calibrate, guide. Thats it.
The HAT-South telescopes use MGEN to improve guiding accuracy and stabilize the stars profile for a highly increased photometric precision, which significantly contributed in discovering at least 40 exoplanets.


The Subscribe command allows you to add a Subscriber to a list and update the Subscriber's data.
The Subscribe command requires the following arguments: Command, Realm, Password, List, Format, and Data.
The command is 'sub', the realm is 'myrealm' and the password is 'mypass'. A plain text format subscription for 'jane@domain.com' will be added to list_id='5'.
The Subscribe command expects as least one field in the Data argument. The email address of the subscriber is always required to create a subscription record. If the subscriber does not yet exist, a Subscriber record will be created using the email address as the primary key. If the subscriber does exist, the Subscriber record will be updated with any data defined in the Data fields.
You can add one or many subscribers with the same subscribe command. To add multiple subscribers, include additional subscribers separated by the carat (^) character. Each additional subscriber must have the same number of data fields defined.
The format of the email message content to send.
When a Subscriber unsubscribes, in some instances an opt-out record is created preventing future subscriptions. To force a subscription, set Force Subscribe to 1. Records are not updated by default.
Lists include an option to require a subscriber to Confirm a subscription request through Subscription forms, Subscribe Links, and API calls. If this option is enabled, the API subscribe command will not add the subscription until after the subscriber clicks a link to confirm they wish to be added to the List.
To ignore the requirement, set override_confirmation argument to 1. The subscription will be created and the confirmation email will not be sent to the subscriber.
The subscriber, 'jane@domain.com', will be subscribed to list '5' in the realm 'myrealm' with the option to receive MIME messages. If the list requires subscription confirmation, the subscription will be created without the confirmation.
If a record for the subscriber already exists, then it will be updated. If it does not exist, a new record will be created with the first name, 'Jane', last name, 'Doe', and custom field "gender" set to 'female'. Any optouts for the email address will be removed.
A subscriber with the same email address will be created with the first name, 'JD', last name, 'Doe', and custom field "gender" set to 'female'.
In addition to the first record example above, a second and third record are created.
The Subscribe command outputs either a SUCCESS or FAILURE message.
Number of Subscribers not subscribed because an optout was encountered. Can only be 0 if force_sub=1, or no optouts encountered.

MGM Mirage, Kerzner Sign for North Strip Project
LAS VEGAS-MGM MIRAGE will provide the land for the multibillion-dollar resort and retain a 50% stake while Kerzner and Istithmar provide cash equity.
By Brian K. Miller | September 11, 2007 at 06:05 PM
LAS VEGAS-MGM Mirage, Kerzner International Holdings and Istithmar Hotels FZE have agreed on terms for their joint venture development of a multibillion-dollar integrated resort adjacent to MGM's Circus Circus hotel-casino property at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. Construction is slated to commence in the first half of 2009 and open three years later.
Kerzner owns the Atlantis properties in the Bahamas and the One & Only-branded luxury hotel chain. Istithmar Hotels FZE, an investor in Kerzner, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Istithmar PJSC, the investment company of Dubai World, a Dubai government entity that recently bought a 50% stake in MGM Mirage's CityCenter development at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip for $2.7 billion and is acquiring as much as $2.4 billion of MGM Mirage common stock.
Per the development agreement for the North Strip site, MGM Mirage will provide the land for the multibillion-dollar integrated resort and retain a 50% stake while Kerzner and Istithmar provide cash equity in exchange for 25% stakes. The land being contributed by MGM Mirage–40 acres, most of which it acquired earlier this year–is being valued at $20 million per acre.
Kerzner will lead the planning and conceptualization of this project. The new resort will front the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue, across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Sahara Hotel & Casino, which was recently sold for between $300 million and $400 million to a new ownership group that plans to renovate and revitalize the 55-year-old, 1,700-room property.
MGM Mirage and Kerzner signed an LOI to form the joint venture in June , one month after MGM paid two different owners $576 million, about $17 million per acre, for 33.5 contiguous acres that abut MGM's existing assets there as well as Las Vegas Boulevard. MGM chairman Terry Lanni said at the time that the partnership is a way for the company to leverage its land and development experience and accelerate growth while conserving capital for additional opportunities. "We see this type of relationship as a major part of our company's future," he said.
All told, MGM now controls along Las Vegas Boulevard 865 acres with three miles of Strip frontage, cementing its position as the area's largest landholder. Its largest current project is the $7.4-billion CityCenter project, which got under way this time last year. Located between the Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts, the first phase of the development will include a 4,000-room luxury hotel and casino, two 400-room non-gaming hotels, 2,900 condominium units and 500,000 sf of commercial space.

Understanding the Benefits of Microsoft Threat Protection
Sreeraj VasukuttanSeptember 4, 2020
Recently I listened to our TechSperience podcast episode about the role of AI in cyber security. In this episode, Jamal Khan, President of Global, Digital, and eCommerce Marketing at Connection, explains various cyber threat scenarios that affect nation states and organizations. He also talks about Connection's role in helping organizations with risk analysis and mitigation. He goes on to express how we focus on finding the best security solutions, so you can be sure to have a well-protected infrastructure. Microsoft Threat Protection (also known as Microsoft 365 Defender) is one of these solutions, and can be a powerful tool in securing your network.
There is an array of security products from Microsoft focused on different areas of your mobile-first, cloud-first environment. Maybe you are already familiar with Microsoft Defender Advanced Thread Protection, Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection, Azure Advanced Threat Protection, etc. Microsoft Threat Protection is the next step in defending your infrastructure. Today, I'll explain the additional benefits that Microsoft Threat Protection brings when it's stacked on top of those other Microsoft security products.
What Is Microsoft Threat Protection?
Microsoft already offers a bunch of cyber security tools, and you might be wondering what Microsoft Threat Protection could add. Microsoft Threat Protection is not a bundle of bundles like Microsoft 365. Instead, it's a security feature in Microsoft Security Center. You can utilize Microsoft Threat Protection at various levels depending on your licensing mix.
Microsoft announced Microsoft Threat Protection in its 2018 Ignite conference. The idea was to bring the benefits of all the different security products from Microsoft under one roof to allow organizations to take a comprehensive approach to their threat defense and mitigation approach.
Microsoft invests over a billion dollars per year in security research and in an array of security services across various attack vectors, such as identities, endpoints, user data, and cloud apps. Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph uses advanced analytics to converge an enormous amount of threat intelligence and security data from Microsoft and their partners across all those attack vectors. Microsoft Threat Protection is built on top of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph.
Now, let's explore what Microsoft Threat Protection means for a security analyst in your organization.
Better Visibility and Coordination
Most of the new sophisticated attacks are not contained within one attack vector. From the perspective of a security analyst, it's helpful to have a unified view of the attack event during the mitigation efforts. This unified view of the attack event is the first benefit that Microsoft Threat Protection brings to the table. A unified view also reduces the time an analyst spends switching between various security products as part of an investigation. This means the analyst has more time in active remediation. The value is not just in the unified view; it also collects data from the individual apps and stitches them together into a combined incident queue so the analyst can get the full scope of the attack event in real time.
The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Microsoft Threat Protection
Microsoft Threat Protection leverages Microsoft's AI capabilities beautifully into various aspects of the product. It starts an automatic investigation and initiates an automatic response to threats across attack areas. This reduces the progress of an attack event across assets. Here is an example from Microsoft docs on what this looks like in action: "If a malicious file is detected on an endpoint protected by Microsoft Defender ATP, it will instruct Office 365 ATP to scan and remove the file from all e-mail messages. The file will be blocked on sight by the entire Microsoft 365 security suite." Microsoft Threat Protection uses AI and security playbooks to self-heal affected assets also. This means by the time the analyst starts looking at the event, the AI has started the remediation steps already. The implications for the use of AI are not limited to automated tasks, saving time for the analyst to use that time for other strategic tasks during an attack event. Microsoft Threat Protection uses AI, where manual efforts are not enough to stop the attackers.
If you were not familiar with Microsoft Threat Protection before reading this blog post, and if the capabilities that I mentioned make you wonder how you could leverage it in your organization, the following section is for you.
How to Get Microsoft Threat Protection
If you are licensed for some of the Microsoft security products, you have Microsoft Threat Protection already. Microsoft announced earlier this year that starting June 1, 2020, Microsoft will automatically enable these features when eligible customers visit the Microsoft 365 security center. Any of the following licenses give you access to Microsoft Threat Protection in Microsoft Security center:Microsoft Defender Advanced ThreatProtection, Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection, Microsoft Cloud App Security, Azure Advanced Threat Protection, Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 E5 Security, Windows 10 Enterprise E5, Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E5, Office 365 E5Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, Azure Advanced Threat Protection, Microsoft Cloud App Security, Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection.
Here is the caveat: You need to enable all the supported services that talk to Microsoft Threat Protection to provide it with a comprehensive view of your entire threat landscape, so you should be licensed for those individual apps as well. Or you should have an overarching license, such as Microsoft 365 E5, E5 Security, A5, or A5 Security.
There are always more nuanced licensing compliance issues you would run into when you take an organization-wide approach of protecting your security landscape. Our Security Landscape Optimization team that Jamal mentions in the podcast are your go-to folks. Contact our experts at Connection today if you have any questions—we're always happy to help.

ABC Five-Year Plan 2020-2025
Posted 24th June 2020
Managing Director David Anderson has today launched the ABC's five-year strategy and outlined proposals to address budget cuts while protecting the Corporation's independence and Charter responsibilities for all Australians.
"The ABC Five-Year Plan 2020-2025 will guide us as we continue to transform from a traditional broadcaster to the nation's most trusted and valued digital content provider across all platforms," Mr Anderson told ABC employees.
"This strategy lays out the next steps in the ABC's proud 88-year history, ensuring that now and into the future we remain the home of Australian stories, trusted information and conversations that connect us all."
Mr Anderson said proposed savings initiatives aligned with the five-year plan, ensuring the ABC is more relevant to more Australians with a greater focus on accessibility and the on-demand digital services audiences now expect.
Mr Anderson said the Federal Government's indexation pause, which cut the ABC's budget by $84m over three years with an ongoing reduction of $41m a year from 2022, coming on top of the $64m in ongoing cuts imposed in 2014, made difficult decisions affecting jobs and services inevitable.
"The proposals announced today ensure the ABC can enhance its value to all Australians now and into the future," he said. "However, we anticipate we will farewell as many as 250 people through this process, valued colleagues who have made tremendous contributions to the ABC and to our audiences.
"This is a difficult time for us, as it is for the broader economy and community as we all struggle with the events of this year."
ABC Chair Ita Buttrose said "the ABC Five-Year Plan is a robust blueprint for the future of the ABC that emphasises the important role the ABC plays in the Australian way of life."
The proposed savings initiatives include:
 Giving ABC Life a new editorial direction and name, ABC Local, sourcing content from across the ABC, including outer suburban and regional areas.
 A greater focus on digital and on-demand news services, including discontinuing the 7.45am broadcast-only radio news bulletin and shifting focus to provide news across all our audio platforms.
 Rebranding ABC Comedy to create a home for a range of genres, such as Arts, Science, Education and Religion. Comedy will continue to be commissioned for ABC main channel and a destination on iview.
 Reducing independent production by approximately $5m p.a., predominately from the factual and entertainment slate, with the ABC prioritising investment in Drama and Children's programming.
The proposed initiatives are in addition to reduced numbers in management and support teams and identified savings greater than 2% through current vacancies, redundancies and reducing operating costs.
The ABC has also reduced travel budgets by 25%, with a greater reliance on technology to connect the workforce.
A review of the ABC's property portfolio will consider options to either improve our accommodation, lease vacant space or relocate if it is more beneficial. Assessing spare capacity for leasing in ABC Ultimo could potentially create a $4 million p.a. saving. A portion of this could be reinvested in services.
Increased investment in regional centres reflects another important commitment in the Five-Year Plan and will see 75% of content-makers working outside the Ultimo headquarters by 2025, ensuring greater engagement with local communities.
Mr Anderson told employees both he and the ABC Chair Ita Buttrose would continue to seek the Government's endorsement for a five-year funding period to give the ABC certainty in delivering this plan for all Australians.
"The ABC Five-Year Plan 2020-2025 is just the start of this next stage in the ABC's history," Mr Anderson said. "We will uphold the highest editorial values, remaining Australia's best and most trusted source of news and information and continuing to deliver the best public interest journalism that strengthens our democracy."
"The ABC Five-Year Plan is a commitment to the ABC tradition of telling Australian stories that are accessible, bold and creative. Our message to the Australian people is clear. Now, more than ever, we are your ABC."

Test the water with different sports
Posted: 7:00 pm December 10, 2021
LAST Monday with lots of pupils absent and also due to the inclement weather, our u-14 squad had low numbers at training, so we decided to slip the trainers on and headed into our sports hall where we played indoor soccer, basketball and dodgeball for an hour.
The youngsters loved it and it was a refreshing break away from the rigours of the pitch and weather and, also, the structure of organised training. It made me think that maybe we need to do more of it.
When you consider that the close season for underage teams now exists for normally at least six to seven months from October to MarchApril, there is certainly need for imagination and the need to offer players the opportunity to stay fit. I feel that particularly applies to young people so that we do not to lose them to other sports.
We can all offer more and some of us do offer more, not just in clubs but in schools and it doesn't have to be Gaelic games, in fact it can be games of any sort. Take the game of Gaelic football, what do players actually do? They jog, walk, run, jump, change direction, catch, pass, block, squat, lunge, create, make angles, make decisions and they score. All of those aspects of Gaelic football, when you examine them closely, are all part of the same family: the family of invasion games.
Our u-14 and u-16 Gaelic football teams in school train after school twice a week, but not everyone in the school has an interest in Gaelic so we have decided as a PE department that in the New Year we are going to offer a 'Games Alternative Afternoon' as an extracurricular option for both KS3 and KS4 pupils in the school, something I have offered in previous years.
The idea of the day will be to offer young people the opportunity to play invasion games which will in turn improve their skills, fitness and qualities needed to excel in their respective team sports.
Invasion games are a great way to challenge young people and preserve their interest. The same principles apply in all invasion games; possession, invasion, scoring, special awareness, attacking, defending, physical contact and decision-making.
Here are some examples of invasion games that can be played indoors over the winter months and skills that are easily transferable to Gaelic games:
Basketball – helps build children's speed and strength through regular directional changes and lots of jumping. Also improves handling skills and is excellent for special awareness and decision-making.
Unihoc – played with plastic sticks and a puck, brilliant for handeye co-ordination and excellent for hurlingcamogie players in the off season.
Netball – yes both boys and girls can play. It's a super game for improving decision-making, handling and also for having a direct opponent but no physical contact which can build the confidence of an insecure child.
Indoor touch rugby – played with a rugby shaped foam ball, improves handling, excellent for building physical fitness and superb game for spatial awareness and evasion skills.
Along with the above games mentioned, there are countless number of other games which can be played – soccer, handball, dodgeball. All brilliant games and all improving the young player physically, technically and tactically.
I understand not every club is blessed with a sports hall but liaise with your local schools, see if your local sports centre would accommodate you, or even a parish hall or community centre hall. It doesn't have to be that big – all you have to do is be imaginative and creative and get them playing games!
