Winner of January member of the month goes to Daniel d'Avoine. He has been a regular for a while now, first on HIIT and then moved onto CrossFit. At the turn of the year he started to commit more of his training time to CrossFit and the Sport program, which has shown in the improvements he has made both technically and physically. His endurance is by far one of the most superior out of our entire group of members and always has been, but recently his development of strength, skills and determination to better himself has been outstanding. He attends Olympic Lifting classes, Gymnastics classes, and of course, contributed his own time to sticking down the turf...so daniel we salute you!!

Before we lay the physical groundwork for any new residential development, we take the time to focus on the ideals that draw people together — and the everyday interactions that strengthen those bonds. By purposefully designing our walkways, gathering spaces, and structural amenities to spark spontaneous encounters and foster shared interests, we create community in every sense.
Hillwood Communities is renowned for both the quality of our residential communities and the integrity of our relationships with homebuilders, trusted vendors, and community partners. Yet creating community goes far beyond the physical construction of homes and amenities. It also taps into the feeling of fellowship that emerges when individuals, couples, and families share experiences built on common attitudes and interests. Hillwood Communities delivers on both counts.
That's why our trails and pathways aren't simply walkable thoroughfares – they're everyday conduits for casual conversation and unexpected discovery. By the same token, our on-site amenities are much more than places to swim, learn, play, or relax – they're community catalysts for lifelong friendships.
Evenings at the park. Community festivals. Sunrise workouts. Backyard barbecues. These are just a few of the moments that create community. And at Hillwood Communities, the moments our residents share as neighbors are the memories they make as friends.

Anarchism and Counter-Culture: the Centrality of ideas
December 16, 2015 ~ Sifuna Zonke
A presentation at the Johannesburg leg of the Afrikan HipHop Caravan
Goethe Institute, 20 February 2013
by Warren McGregor
One may ask what a presentation on anarchism has to do with hip-hop. I contend that within these two movements exist shared ideas and sentiments, building blocks of a deeply critical and self-conscious political culture. Both share a deep anti-establishment ethos; a mistrust of established institutions of social and political control. Both come from and are based amongst the oppressed.[1] At its core, hip-hop shares with anarchism its desire for political and social change via people's movements and expression.
A fuller discussion and appreciation of anarchist culture, however, and its message of grassroots community and individual empowerment, can, I think, serve to broaden the already rich tapestry of hip-hop culture and its impact on those it serves to educate.
Drawing a Sketch
All forms of society, or social organisation, have their own ideological cultural sets: the main ideas that build and maintain the structure of that society. In the modern age of neo-liberal capitalist and state control, some key ideas dominate; you might have heard these before:
Margaret Thatcher's "there is no alternative" (as regards neo-liberal social spending cuts and privatisation)
Francis Fukuyama's – "the end of history;" that with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, capitalism had defeated socialism
That democracy equates to voting into power those who rule you
Men bring home the bacon; boys will be boys; women look after the kids and clean the house
Black people can't govern themselves
All whites are oppressors
God is forgiving and solves all problems if you pray
The ANC's slogan "A Better Life For All"
Africa Unite! (which presupposes a singular African identity)
I Want to Talk about the Role of Ideas…
In a variety of areas and in many people's minds, these are some of the dominant social ideas. In fact, many people accept these not as ideas but social realities set in stone. However, they are just that: ideas that we make and remake. Ideas determine how we think and how we act. Ideas determine how we socialise and how we relate to societal organisation – political and economic.
We exist in a world that is fundamentally unjust and unequal. The dominant economic ideology is capitalism in its neo-liberal form, and the dominant ideologies of social and political organisation in many parts of the world are the nation state and representative democracy respectively. These systems establish class rule of the few over the majority.
Class rule promotes competition, greed, individualism; only those with money and power are counted as people of value. If you're poor, well that's your fault – you're lazy. Get a job, contribute!
In southern Africa, our shared histories have also meant rampant racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and other such forms of oppression.
Both ideologies of capitalism and the state are promoted as either inevitable, part of human nature, or the best we have. However, we exist in a world with massive poverty and huge disparities in terms of access to power and wealth. Rampant political and economic corruption, waste, inefficiency and ecological destruction are just some other terrible features of this particular global society. However, if the state and capitalism are inevitable and immovable, this then must mean that suffering, poverty and domination are natural to the human condition.
I Disagree!
Human nature (and the way we organise ourselves) is neither fixed nor inevitable. We are born into societies and all societies have dominant ideas. These ideas and the alternatives offered from within those societies are what determine who we are and how we think. If we are born into a society that valorises greed, surely we should expect many to be greedy. What about promoting social values that are entirely different?
Protest and the Poverty of Alternatives
These last few decades have seen tremendous upsurges of protest against inequality and powerlessness. All these have risen within local contexts either of failed statist projects (Marxist Communism, the Keynesian Welfare State and Social Democracy, African Socialism, etc.) or in the context of post-independence structural adjustment programmes and neo-liberal capitalism. From Latin American indigenous struggles, to the community struggles and uprisings in southern and northern Africa, to austerity protests in Europe and worker struggles in East Asia, many seek not only slow, piecemeal reform, but also substantial social change.
Many ideas influence these struggles, but do many of them actually question the dominant forms of economic and social organisation: capitalism and the state?
Here, within a global context of perpetual protest with little reward, the ideas of anarchism and its culture of direct democracy, can exist as vital tools of analysis of past and current struggles. Anarchists imagine a new world – it's easy if you try – and seek to organise for that vision.
So, if ideas are central to the way the world is structured now, the only way to change the world is to mobilise others to do so using different ideas.
What is Anarchism?
It is often misunderstood – by opponents and by those claiming the title – as chaos, disorder, lawlessness, etc. Also many associate it with veganism, dumpster-diving, white punk-rockers, animal rights activists, etc.
Anarchism is not a matter of self-identity – although many claim the title, but have divergent ideas for understanding society and social change. It is a clear, coherent political ideology born out of the struggles of workers and their organisations and communities in the mid-to-late 1800s, even if many don't realise this. It is revolutionary libertarian socialism that seeks mass working class and peasant organisation to revolutionise social and economic control by dismantling the state and capitalism; to run society via federations of directly democratic work and community councils and the economy to meet people's needs.
Anarchism is against:
economic exploitation, i.e. bosses and landlords
domination between classes and between individuals (sex/gender oppression, ageism, racism, etc.)
political subordination, particularly in the form of the state and other such hierarchical institutions which centralise power in the hands of a few by affording them control over the means of administration and coercion
Anarchism is for:
a world of individual freedom – an organised emancipation from exploitation and domination
societies and economies based on self-management by worker and community councils federated internationally.
This individual freedom can only be realised within a context of social freedom – this social freedom can only be realised through mass-based working class revolution. We see mass organisations of counter-power – revolutionary syndicalist trade unions linked to revolutionary community organisations – as the lever of revolution and reconstruction. Anarchists work with and in working class communities and organisations, spreading the ideas and principles of anarchism, to achieve a leadership of ideas, not individuals.
Anarchism insists on building tomorrow today. These organisations of counter-power, built within the shell of this rotten world, will function as the worker and community councils of the future society. Anarchism, thus, is a prefigurative politics. This politics determines anarchist practice today for tomorrow. It argues that the counter-power we build must reflect and have as its principles those of the future society.
Anarchist Counter-Culture
We seek to foster a counter-culture – a culture of ideas, debate and discussion – opposed to the dominant ideas of capitalism, the state and hierarchy. We build a counter-culture that promotes working class pride and rejects the culture of the ruling class.
As such, these organisations of counter-power must be based on and continue to develop a counter-culture that meets emancipatory desires.
Anarchist Principles [2]
Decisions in movements should be made to ensure everyone has an equal say and that power is located with all members, not a few officials. This empowers people; it enables them to have a voice and builds people's confidence; and only a confident working class can end all forms of oppression.
These include protests, strikes, occupations, etc. against capitalist and state bosses. The reforms won through such actions build counter-power and the working class's confidence – in itself and its organisations.
We fight for true worker control and people's power over their organisations. If based on direct democracy and with the confidence of direct action, workers and people control their own organisations and are not beholden to a middle class, more educated stratum that dominates people's struggles and determine their campaigns.
We aim for respect, mutual aid and solidarity as the basis of organisation.
We should also fight oppression within our organisations and in the working class to build relations of solidarity in our movements today.
History and Examples of Anarchist Counter-Culture
Anarchist working class organisations have used a variety of cultural tools such as music, poetry, art, self-education, organising and drama to build this counter-culture. These promoted not only anarchism and struggle, but important philosophical and social questions related to their communities. They used a variety of means, like radio stations, plays, spoken and written word, to build a revolutionary counter-culture amongst the working poor. They built cultural centres, schools and took over urban spaces that regularly hosted counter-cultural picnics, discussion sessions, parades, carnivals even! Counter-culture laid the basis for anarchist revolutions in Spain, Manchuria and Ukraine which were built over many decades of education, direct action and organisation. Anarchist slogans and songs persist even today: e.g. the popular Cosatu slogan, "An Injury To One Is An Injury To All" is the original slogan of the syndicalist (anarchist trade union) Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Migrant workers, exiles and publications helped spread anarchist and syndicalist ideas globally.
Recent Counter-Culture in SA
The 1970s and 80s particularly offer us clear lessons to be studied. Mass organisational counter-power to capitalism and apartheid was built and produced a mass working class counter-culture. This spread through not just protest, but pamphlets, newsletters, struggle songs, plays and magnificent posters.
Art, Counter-Culture and Change
Art continues to play a vital role in spreading ideas, whether progressive or not. A consumerist pop and rap culture exists as a strong pole of attraction to many young people globally. It influences the way we talk, what we wear, what we want to do with our lives and how we view the world.
However, a revolutionary counter-culture on its own does not make revolution. Ideas must be applied and these ideas need to serve to empower people to contribute to creating change with others. If artists really want to change the world, this desire and their art must be linked with and to working class struggles and organisations (in SA this means the black and African working class in particular).
With that, we also need to move from reflection to active contribution.
Not only could our artists and the culture they promote reflect society, it could contribute to an understanding of the issues that affect the majority of human kind and offer a coherent way forward out of misery and domination.
We need a large scale working class counter-culture based on principles of direct democracy, self-management and revolution; history has shown this as the only ways to fight against the impact of dominant ideas on all our lives. Our art needs to inspire, reflect and direct. To show that not only is there an alternative and what that is, but also that we are building and mobilising, with song and dance, word and movement, towards creating that future now!
Anarchism has the tools for this.
Ideas can empower! Ideas can emancipate! Forward to the anarchist social revolution!
[1] This is not to say that an uncritical, often sexist and racist Hip Hop culture has emerged and flourished within the mainstream media. It is merely to suggest that the roots of Hip Hop are far from this, in the lives of ordinary people struggling under sexist, racist oppression, exploitation and poverty.

Yes, you can list multiple items in one post.


Gap junctions are intercellular channels that permit the free passage of ions, small metabolites, and signaling molecules between neighboring cells. In the diseased human heart, altered ventricular gap junction organization and connexin expression (i.e., remodeling) are key contributors to rhythm disturbances and contractile dysfunction. Connexin43 (Cx43) is the dominant gap junction protein isoform in the ventricle which is under tight regulation by serine/tyrosine phosphorylation. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation regulate many aspects of Cx43 function including trafficking, assembly and disassembly, electrical and metabolic coupling at the plaque, as well as to modulate the interaction with other proteins.
The ADA3 (Alteration/Deficiency in Activation 3) protein is a transcriptional adaptor protein that was initially discovered as a component of several HAT (Histone Acetyltransferase) complexes, the enzyme complex responsible for histone acetylation, which is a prerequisite for transcription. Earlier the studies from Dr. Band's laboratory and that of others' have deciphered a crucial role of ADA3 in cell cycle regulation (both through G1/S and G2/M phase transitions) and in maintaining the genomic stability.
Although the etiology of a particular disease will vary, there are genetic and epigenetic bottlenecks that frequently converge resulting in dysregulation of mitogenic and morphogenetic signaling. This propensity is acutely experienced in malignancy and neurodegenerative disease.
Identification and characterization of pathways specific to tumor cell survival, but absent in normal tissues, provide opportunities to develop effective cancer therapies with reduced toxicity to the patient. Kinase suppressor of Ras 1 (KSR1) is required for the survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, but dispensable in normal cells. Using KSR1 as a reference standard, we identified EPH (erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma) receptor (EPHB4) as a KSR1 functional analog.
The transmembrane mucin MUC4 is a high molecular weight glycoprotein that is expressed de novo in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). MUC4 has been shown to play a tumor-promoting role in malignancies such as PDAC, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Unlike the normal pancreas, MUC4 is ordinarily expressed by goblet and absorptive cells in the normal colonic epithelium. However, its expression/role in colorectal cancer (CRC) is not well studied.
BACKGROUND: IL-21, a member of the common gamma-chain utilizing family of cytokines, participates in immune and inflammatory processes. In addition, the cytokine has been linked to autoimmunity in humans and rodents.
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which serves as a model for the human disease multiple sclerosis. We demonstrate here that encephalitogenic T cells, transduced with a retroviral gene, construct to express interleukin 4, and can delay the onset and reduce the severity of EAE when adoptively transferred to myelin basic protein-immunized mice. Thus, T lymphocytes transduced with retroviral vectors can deliver "regulatory cytokines" in a site-specific manner and may represent a viable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of autoimmune disease.

Das Infant Industry Argument ist eine ökonomische Theorie, die eine protektionistische Industriepolitik befürwortet, um dadurch noch nicht wettbewerbsfähige Wirtschaftssektoren (sogenannte Infant Industries) zu stärken. Der Kern des Arguments besteht darin, dass neu entstehende Industrien oft nicht über die Größenvorteile verfügen, die ihre älteren Konkurrenten aus anderen Ländern haben könnten, und daher geschützt werden müssen, bis sie ähnliche Größenvorteile erzielen können.

Die Theorie trifft insbesondere auf die Situation in Entwicklungsländern zu und gilt in der ökonomischen Theorie als eines der letzten rationalen Argumente für eine protektionistische Handelspolitik. Selbst wenn ein Land einen Wettbewerbsvorteil durch hohe Stückzahlen und niedrigere Kosten erreichen könnte, kann es diesen Vorteil nicht nutzen, solange andere Länder allein durch Skaleneffekte wettbewerbsfähigere Preise haben. In der Konsequenz sollte ein Land daher Infant Industries identifizieren und speziell für derartige Produkte Handelsbarrieren einrichten, um inländische Unternehmen vor ausländischer Konkurrenz zu schützen. Durch Schutzzölle, Quoten oder ähnliche Instrumente haben diese für eine gewisse Zeit eine monopolähnliche Stellung im Heimatmarkt und können dadurch Skaleneffekte erreichen, die im freien Handel nicht möglich gewesen wären. Sobald die Sektoren allerdings international wettbewerbsfähig geworden sind, sollten die Handelsbarrieren wieder abgeschafft werden.

Das Argument wurde erstmals vom ersten Finanzminister der Vereinigten Staaten, Alexander Hamilton, in seinem Report on Manufactures aus dem Jahr 1790 vollständig artikuliert. Hamilton erklärte, dass die Entwicklung einer industriellen Basis in einem Land ohne Protektionismus unmöglich sei, weil Einfuhrzölle notwendig sind, um die einheimischen "jungen Industrien" zu schützen, bis sie Größenvorteile erzielen können. Das Argument wurde von dem amerikanischen politischen Ökonomen Daniel Raymond systematisch entwickelt und später von dem Ökonomen Friedrich List in seinem 1841 erschienenen Werk The National System of Political Economy aufgegriffen.

Viele Länder haben sich erfolgreich hinter Zollschranken industrialisiert, darunter die Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien. Zum Beispiel gehörten die Zölle in den Vereinigten Staaten von 1816 bis 1945 zu den höchsten der Welt. Südkorea und Taiwan sind jüngere Beispiele für eine rasche Industrialisierung und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung mit umfangreichen staatlichen Subventionen, Devisenkontrollen und hohen Zöllen zum Schutz ausgewählter Industrien.

Ernesto Zedillo empfahl in seinem Bericht an den UN-Generalsekretär aus dem Jahr 2000 "die Legitimierung eines begrenzten Schutzes für bestimmte Industriezweige durch Länder in den frühen Stadien der Industrialisierung" und argumentierte, dass "wie fehlgeleitet das alte Modell eines pauschalen Schutzes auch sein mag, es wäre ein Fehler, zum anderen Extrem überzugehen und den Entwicklungsländern die Möglichkeit zu verweigern, die Entwicklung eines Industriesektors aktiv zu fördern".

Insbesondere Start-up-Unternehmen aus der Technologie-Branche fordern bei zentralen IT-Lösungen (Lernplattformen, Videokonferenzen etc.) den Einsatz von europäischen Software-Lösungen.

The field of beam physics touches many areas of physics, engineering and the sciences. In general terms, beams describe ensembles of particles with initial conditions similar enough to be treated together as a group so that the motion is a weakly nonlinear perturbation of a chosen reference particle. Particle beams are used in a variety of areas, ranging from electron microscopes, particle spectrometers, medical radiation facilities, powerful light sources, astrophysics to large synchrotrons and storage rings such as the LHC at CERN.
An Introduction to Beam Physics is based on lectures given at Michigan State University's Department of Physics and Astronomy, the online VUBeam program, the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, the CERN Academic Training Programme and various other venues. It is accessible to beginning graduate and upper-division undergraduate students in physics, mathematics engineering. The book begins with a historical overview of methods for generating and accelerating beams, showcasing important developments through the eyes of their developers using their original drawings. This is followed by concepts of linear beam optics, transfer matrices, the general equations of motion, as well as the main techniques used for single- and multi-pass systems. Some advanced nonlinear topics including the computation of aberrations and a study of resonances round out the presentation.
Note: The first printing of the book contained errors in the publisher-prepared text of the front matter. The book has subsequently been re-printed, and the proper version can be identified by a yellow circle with the text "0105 2015" on the lower right of the back cover.

Global cryptocurrency payment processor BitPay has announced that it has signed up OneGold as a merchant, which will now see the marketplace for precious metals and digital gold accept Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
OneGold is a platform founded by the world's leading precious metals retailer- Oklahoma-based APMEX- and alternative asset manager Sprott.
The primary drive behind this platform is to provide the investor community with an opportunity to leverage the "key benefits of physical gold and silver" and combine these with added advantages that come with blockchain-based digital assets.
The firm's CEO Ken Lewis has projected that having the two payment options has the potential to attract a considerable number of "cryptocurrency buyers from international markets," many of whom would be from jurisdictions where the use of credit cards pose particular challenges.
BitPay's COO Sonny Singh, commenting on the partnership with OneGold, stated that the use of crypto for payments is something "ideal" for the e-commerce and precious metals market.
He attributed this to the increased risks of falling prey to fraud or suffering identity theft as is related to credit card use. An example is the menace of chargebacks, which he noted was responsible for the loss of about $19 billion suffered by merchants in 2017.
Crypto has been touted as a potential solution to such issues like identity theft or chargebacks, with proponents stating that the use of blockchain reduces this by not storing any sensitive details on the ledger.
As early as March 2016, JM Bullion announced that it would let customers buy gold and silver using Bitcoin through BitPay. At the time, the bullion company said they were going to give a discount of four percent to those customers who would pay for their precious metals using cryptocurrency.
OneGold has said it will take payments made in fiat or cryptocurrency, as well as a combination of both. A potential sticking point of wild price swings due to volatility won't be a problem as that is taken care of by BitPay's payment system.
BitPay is not only the leading bitcoin payment processor, but it has over the last few months moved to cement that position with many real deals, most of which have to do with becoming the go-to payment processor.
Last week, the platform partnered with Ohio's tax office to help businesses use of bitcoin to settle their local tax obligations. That came after the payment provider joined hands with the Great Lakes Science Center museum located in Cleveland, Ohio to allow visitors to pay the admission fee in crypto.
In July BitPay received the BitLicense from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), allowing it to set business in one of US' most important financial hubs.
Even though the crypto market meltdown has hit digital assets hard, BitPay COO Sonny Singh said in November that the market would recover massively in 2019, primarily as major institutional investors prepare to make an entry into the market.
Among these big players is investment giant Fidelity as well as U.S Securities and Exchanges Commission's potential approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Disclaimer: This is not investment advice. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets and are very risky investments. Do your research and consult an investment professional before investing. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Never borrow money to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Investing in Collectibles Has Its Own Risks and Rewards. So Buy What You Love.
Dan Weil
Updated June 24, 2019 / Original June 22, 2019
Among collectibles that have sustainable strength are wine, jewelry, cars, and memorabilia. Photograph by Nick Karvounis
Many of us like to buy collectibles, whether it's art, wine, sports memorabilia or a host of other items. But are we simply indulging in a hobby or does it represent investment?
You can actually do both, experts say. "It should first be about pursuit of things you like," says Henry Johnson, president of wealth management for Northern Trust's East Region. "Most people buy collectibles to live with them, but there's also the potential for price appreciation."
Sarah McDaniel, an executive in Morgan Stanley's Family Office Resources unit, agrees. Particularly in the art world, it's easier to buy than sell, due to the market's illiquidity, she notes. "So if you buy, make sure you like it, because you may hold it for a long time."
One guarantee of purchasing something you love is that it will maintain intangible value the whole time you own it, Johnson says.
If you're looking at collectibles as an investment, it is important to have diversification, just like in a portfolio of financial assets, Johnson says. That way you are protected if any one segment of the collectibles market declines. For example, "English furniture collections were quite valuable when I was young," he says. "Today they're worth a fraction of that."
Read our recent cover story: How Your Kids Can Ruin Your Retirement — and How to Make Sure They Don't
Keep in mind that trends can change quickly in the collectibles market, making prices volatile. "The importance of style and taste can't be underestimated," Johnson says. "There are waves of interest in areas that come and go. There are investment opportunities for individuals, but it's hard to understand the top and bottom of the wave when you're in the middle of the ocean."
Fortunately for the collector who is also an investor, some areas of the market "feel more bulletproof," as Johnson put it. Among the sectors with sustainable strength are wine, jewelry, cars, and memorabilia, McDaniel says.
Both cars and jewelry are a store of value, but still can be used. The kinds of cars that are most popular ebb and flow, as new buyers enter the market. Lately sports cars have gained in value, amid interest from millennials in recent vintages, McDaniel says.
Watches also are big, particularly name brands such as Rolex and Patek Phillipe, Johnson says. "A watch anywhere in the world is a symbol of taste and wealth."

Baseball cards have been around for more than 100 years, but their proliferation makes them less prized than they used to be, Johnson says. Still, there is strong interest in sports memorabilia that was part of a game, such as jerseys, balls and shoes, McDaniel says.
So perhaps feeding your passion in collectibles can pay off.
Many of us like to buy collectibles, whether it's art, wine, sports memorabilia or a host of other items.

Marisa Courtney
My name is Marisa Courtney. I was born and raised in Tacoma, WA. I studied at the University of Phoenix and Berean School of Bible before starting my tenure with the State of Washington in 2012. In November 2014, I had the opportunity to join the Washington Medical Commission's Licensing unit as their Renewal Specialist. It was at this point that I knew I wanted to grow my career with the Commission. Over the next 4 years I work my way up from the Renewal Specialist position to a Licensing Specialist role and then was promoted to Licensing Lead. As the Licensing Lead, I assisted with multiple projects including the implementation of the Interstate Medical Licensing Compact (IMLC) in Washington. Also, I oversaw the production of IMLC Expedited Licenses and issuance of Letter of Qualifications. In May 2020, I was offered the Interim Licensing Manager position, which became permanent in August. Our Mission at the Medical Commission is to promote patient safety and enhance the integrity of the profession through licensing, discipline, rulemaking and education. As the Licensing Manager, these are the core values that I strive to incorporate into our daily operations.
Throughout my presentation, I will touch on the core aspects of the IMLC, highlight the partnership between the IMLC and the Medical Commission, as well as discuss the services and benefits of utilizing the Compact. This Compact presents an exciting opportunity for the Medical Community by increasing access to healthcare and resources in underserved communities, streamlines the licensing process and introduces a new age of technology that leverages telemedicine.

What's your opinion on students being expelled from school?
Does the threat of expulsion work as a deterrent?
Are students receiving enough support in school?
Why are poorer students more likely to be expelled from school? Are there enough alternatives to mainstream education?
Can we make sure that all children and young people have access to quality education or are some children fundamentally unreachable?
Excuse my ignorance, but what then happens to the child after expulsion? Are they picked up by an organisation which can then offer further support in anyway? Or is that being completely optimistic in this time of cuts.
A friend was teaching at a failing secondary. Rang a parent about their child, and was told to F off, he never needed maths so why should his child need it? At least she worked out why the child had the attitude he did.
I'm not sure what teachers or others can do when parents have that view on education, as they will for the most part have the biggest influence on that child's life. And if that child at 14 or 15 is taking up more and more of the teachers time with disruption to the detriment of the class, then I'm not sure what you can do but expel?
And I am guessing that attitude is not going to come from the high flying parents, earning the big bucks. It's going to come from the poorer sections of society?
I am obviously not talking about SEN.
My younger sister used to bunk off school all the time when she was a teen. The school punished her with a suspension (temporary ban on attending classes school) until my mum pointed out that not going to class was exactly what she wanted to do.
My mum refused the suspension and made them find an alternate solution. My sister was forced to spend her suspension in the principle's office.
Like my mum, I'm not sure kicking any kid out of school is the answer. These kids need more guidance and support not less.
My friend is a youth worker in london and says that in her area schools expel students who are likely to do badly on exams. It helps their league table position.
A cleverer child wouldn't get expelled for the same behaviour as one who is not likely to pass exams.
I don't believe any child is unreachable.
I do think a school may not be able to reach every child.
I think we rely too much on schools. They are our front line delivery system for child services. But they need more back up.
The children who are most unreachable are eventually removed from their parents. It usually takes years of truancy, lateness and/or issues whilst in school for that to happen. The children are unreachable due to the parents' lack of engagement with services. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, even via the justice system.
In my experience, (currently SLT in a secondary school) this would never be considered. But my school doesn't have massive academic success as it's in a very deprived area, so maybe I just haven't seen it for that reason.
I was hoping it was a small number of schools when she was telling me about it.
My friend works in an area with massive inequality so i think the pressure to attact the 'right kind' of students is massive.
it's nice to know there are schools with integrity.
because it would only be said by someone who doesn't understand the scrutiny a school is under to justify why a child is being excluded, the financial cost to exclude a child and the appeals procedure available to a parent of a child who has been excluded. You can argue that the motivation is there, but the means certainly isn't.
www.thetimes.co.uk/article/weak-pup.... I am not arguing it's common practice but it does happen in some schools.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/weak-pupils-expelled-as-heads-game-exam-tables-zwnfrd8ck. I am not arguing it's common practice but it does happen in some schools.
I can't read the articles you are linking to in their entirety without subscribing. However the first paragraph says the schools are accused of taking thousands of pupils off roll in the year preceding the gcses - it doesn't say that all these pupils were excluded (rather than managed moves, pressuring parents to homeschool, etc) not does it say that schools have been found guilty of this by an independent body, or a whistle-blower admitting to it. It's merely speculation hated on numbers.
WYOO compulsory registration of home schooled children?
Do we need consent classes?


Every player of the Douglas baseball team's roster scored at least one run as the Tigers stomped Reed 15-5 in Minden Thursday afternoon to advance to the Northern 4A Regional championship game.
It marked the third consecutive game that Douglas scored more than 10 runs and the second game in row that the Tigers won by more than 10 runs.
Douglas will take on the winner of Carson-Galena Saturday at 1 p.m. at Tiger Field.
Phil Mannelly and Cory Eilers each drove in three runs and Niko Saladis and Tim Rudnick each went 3-for-3 at the plate to lead the Tigers offensively.
Tyler May picked up the win on the mound, striking out four and throwing four scoreless innings before allowing a five-run outburst in the fifth after the game was well in hand.
Douglas carried a 14-5 lead into the bottom of the sixth and Saladis led off with a single to shallow center. He later stole second, but thought that the pitch had been foul tipped by Cory Eilers.
He started trotting back to first, but bolted back to second when he realized his mistake. Reed's catcher, C.J. Maldonado attempted to throw Saladis out, but the ball sailed into center field.
Saladis advanced to third and came around to score to end the game by the 10-run mercy rule.
Douglas jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the second when Saladis drew a bases-loaded walk to score Rudnick and Mannelly blistered a triple to center to clear the bases.
The Tigers extended the lead with seven runs in the third, highlighted by a three-run home run from Cory Eilers.
Reed stayed alive in the top of the fifth, getting an RBI single from Casey Yocom and a three-run home run from Matt Moerdick.
Douglas brought three runs across in the bottom of the frame, and took then win on Saladis' run in the bottom of the sixth.
Saladis finished with two RBIs and Jordan Hadlock, Ryan Pruitt, Rudnick and May each drove in one run.
"We're excited for Saturday," Glover said. "We're senior-laden. I think they are hungry.

IPSS Research
In 2003, Dr. Gabrielle DeVeber at the Hospital for Sick Children, obtained a grant from the Child Neurology Society/Child Neurology Foundation to establish the International Pediatric Stroke Study (IPSS) as the first international pediatric stroke registry. An initial group of about 20 investigators from Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and Australia developed data collection forms for neonatal and childhood arterial ischemic stroke and venous sinus thrombosis. A Canadian philanthropic foundation provided support to HSC to create and maintain an on-line database, and investigators began prospective enrollment into the registry.
Over next 15 years, the IPSS grew into a multi-national network of more than 150 investigators from 102 centers across 34 countries. It developed an organizational structure including Executive and Publications Committees, and detailed Publications and Ancillary Study Policies. By 2019, these investigators enrolled nearly 6,000 pediatric stroke patients and published 30 papers. They obtained research grants to run multicenter studies through the IPSS network: NIH grants for the multicenter Vascular effects of Infection in Pediatric Stroke Studies (VIPS I and VIPS II), and Pediatric Epilepsy Research Foundation grants for the Seizures in Pediatric Stroke Studies (SIPS I and SIPS II).
In 2018, the IPSS Executive Committee decided to form a non-profit organization (501c3), the International Pediatric Stroke Organization (IPSO). This would make the group sustainable and allow it to broaden its mission beyond research into education and advocacy for children with stroke.
We sent out the first IPSO newsletter to our members. IPSO plans to send out quarterly newsletters to provide updates to our members. The first newsletter specifically discussed membership updates, committee updates and included a survey request. In the newsletter, we announced we are forming a new committee and working group: Community Engagement and Advocacy Committee and Hemorrhagic Pediatric Stroke Working Group.
The International Pediatric Stroke Organization, IPSO, was founded and incorporated as a non-profit in February 2019. Our first steps were to form a Board of Directors to establish a basic organizational structure and to engage a society & conference management company to develop the IPSO website and plan IPSO's first international meeting: the IPSO Founding Members Congress. After the IPSO incorporation, we began weekly operational meetings of the IPSO officers and administrative staff. We developed a detailed IPSO business plan that Dr. Fullerton, IPSO President, successfully pitched to a private foundation in Dallas, the Pediatric Epilepsy Foundation (PERF), in May 2019. We received a 2-year grant from PERF, with a promise to consider an additional two years of funding if we meet the milestones specified in the plan.
Due to COVID-19, we modified the IPSO two-year goals. We formed 2 committees and 2 working groups: Communications Committee, Education Committee, Pediatric Stroke Readiness Working Group and Charter Working Group. Currently, the Executive Committee has selected the members ensuring that each group is composed of international and multi-disciplinary representation. One of our first goals to develop pediatric stroke guidelines and educational materials for medical providers and patients' families. We believe IPSO is filling a critical void by taking a multidisciplinary approach to a rare disease that remains poorly understood. Where scientific evidence specific to pediatric stroke is lacking, the new collaboration allows international specialists to build consensus-based guidelines on the use of adult stroke interventions – such as new devices for removing blood clots and other emerging technologies – to treat a pediatric population.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to cancel the May 2020 Congress; for now, we have officially postponed to July 2021 in Vienna, Austria. We were able to keep the same venue and hotel block. Our registrants are either transferring their registration fees or requesting reimbursements. As of now, 65 of the registrants asked to transfer their registration fees to 2021. We decided to extend the Congress in 2021 to three days since we received such a large number of abstract submission and attendees.
In May 2019, we launched the IPSO website and invited volunteers to join the IPSO working group. We received a robust response to this call for volunteers: 237 medical professionals from 36 countries signed up on-line to participate in the IPSO Working Group. We solicited the input of the working group through a series of on-line surveys. With that input, we drafted the IPSO Charter outlining IPSO's organizational structure, governance and subcommittee details, and developed the program for the IPSO Founding Members' Congress
We began to engage IPSO members through social media channels and newsletters. We created a Twitter account, Facebook page and LinkedIn page to post about IPSO with our community. May is "pediatric stroke awareness month," so we increased our engagement on these platforms and introduced the IPSO blog in May 2020. We launched the blog with a post about pediatric stroke and covid-19 and are looking forward to posting more blog posts soon. We also launched IPSO's research page and asked members to share their research studies, so we could post them on our website. This searchable page will facilitate collaborative research through our member community.
October 2019 to February 2020
In October 2019, we formally opened enrollment for IPSO membership and announced that the first annual IPSO Founding Members' Congress would be held May 11th and 12th, 2020 in Vienna, Austria. We planned to ratify the IPSO Congress and formally launch the organization at that meeting. We worked with the conference management company, Podium Conference Management and Association Specialist, to help secure a venue, hotel block and dinner event; manage membership and registration; and guide us with the complexity of managing a professional organization. Congress registration opened in October 2019 and we had > 80 registrants by February 2020, before COVID-19 concerns slowed registration. We developed a 2-day program including business meetings, scientific sessions, and abstract presentations. We planned committee and working group breakout sessions. We confirmed 32 international speakers for an array of topics. We received and reviewed 67 abstract submissions, selecting a subset for oral presentation while inviting the other to present in poster format.

Hvilans Gymnastiksal is the oldest gymnasium in Sweden. It is situated on the grounds of Folkshögskolan Hvilan in Åkarp, about 3 kilometers northeast of Arlöv.
The gymnasium was built as a wooden structure following the Danish model in 1884 and is still used regularly. It belongs to Folkshögskolan Hvilan, founded in 1868 and thus the oldest community college in Sweden.
At the end of the 1980s, the attached facade was removed and the building has been restored from the ground up. It has its original appearance today. As a typical example of the idiom and the craftsmanship of Nordic national romanticism of the 19th century, the gym was declared an architectural monument in 1991.

Proof of physician negligence may appear in the medical records
In Maryland and elsewhere, the medical records are the key bedrock that plaintiff's counsel will use to prepare the proof of negligence in a medical malpractice case. Electronic records present several issues for investigation by plaintiff's counsel in trying to prove physician negligence. Tampering with records by nurses and doctors is one area that is always reviewed as a possibility.
With electronic records, there are standard ways to track the handling and revisions of the documents. These may be seen at first glance or they may be revealed in the process of discovery where all records must be produced and can be investigated for authenticity and any suspicious changes. In many cases, the determination of negligence by the physician or nursing personnel may not require such investigatory prowess.
In fact, careless actions or omissions may be clearly revealed in the surgeon's report of the surgical procedure or in the voluminous nurses notes that may give clues to where the treatment of the patient went off track. Complaints by the patient are often memorialized in the nurse's notes. The plaintiff's malpractice attorney will also get important clues and conclusions from having the records turned over to an examining independent expert early in the process.
Your Maryland malpractice attorney will also use the records in detailed questioning of the defendant physicians and other medical personnel to establish or support physician negligence through the oral depositions. The main thing for the malpractice victim to remember is that these records are an important element of the case. Where possible, it's beneficial for the patient to obtain his or her own copy early after discharge. The plaintiff's attorney will obtain all records as a matter of course, but the case may be enhanced if the patient has an early printed copy of his or her records to give counsel at the initial conference.


This week, Filippo Lodi, UNStudio's head of Research & Technology will host a round table discussion at The Next Web conference, held in the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. The engagement session, entitled "How technology in the built environment can enable healthier cities" will be held on Thursday May 24th at 13:30.
At the session. Filippo will discuss how technology in the built environment can change the landscape of cities for the good with the help of data, sensors and machine learning.
Technology is meant to empower us, but very often it doesn't. The "always on" mode at work can lead to increased levels of stress and burnout. Studies show that work-related stress is the second most frequently reported work-related health problem. Without prevention, stress will become a huge financial burden on cities while severely impacting people s quality of life. So, how can we counteract the blurred line between the online/offline realms in a fast-paced world?
