I have been thinking about all things poetry over the past few weeks as I prepared a full day course on teaching poetry for the Centre for Professional Learning. Teaching lessons about poetry and writing poems with a number of students has refreshed my love of poetry. Poetry is the perfect text to explore in any classroom. Why? Poems come in all shapes and sizes. Think about songs, raps, riddles, tongue twisters, bush ballads: there is a type of poem for every student to enjoy. Many poems are quite short but packed with ideas and emotion. This means they are accessible even for reluctant readers. Explore using poems in guided reading and literature circles. The poems above were written with two of my grandchildren and remind me of the value of choice. Allowing students to write about what they choose promotes ownership of the text. Parker isn't at school yet so his diamante poem came from a conversation we had about his favourite animal. As he is currently interested in animals he brought lots of ideas to writing about his favourite animal. I just asked questions and scribed his answers. So if you have avoided poetry, my suggestion is give it a go and have some fun in your classroom!
Virtual reality and history… who knew it was so easy! We are very excited about a course we are contributing to in the first week of Term 3. The daughter of a TRIO member is in Australia for a short time and has agreed to share her expertise in digital storytelling and resources for History with teachers through this CPL course. Clare is a historian currently working at Warwick University in England. Just the planning has been eye opening to us and shown us resources that are amazing and will be useful for English as well as history. The course is being offered at Surry Hills in week one of term 3 on Wednesday 20th July. This course will be presented jointly by Dr. Clare Rowan and Kate Cameron. Kate is one of the writers of the NSW History Syllabus so we will really be working with the experts!
TRIO really enjoys working with the Centre for Professional Learning, which is part of the NSW Teachers Federation. In term 3 we will be travelling with CPL to both Parkes and Lismore as well as working in Sydney.
I remember the days when a quiet classroom was a good classroom. However silence is not always the best learning environment. Teachers frequently think that their best tool of the trade is a worksheet. There may be a place for using this tool occasionally but the more I read the English syllabus two important points become apparent.
Talk underpins learning. Even in Early Stage One students are asked to express an opinion about texts read and to give reasons for what they like and dislike in texts. There is an expectation that students respond to what they hear, read and view. As students learn to engage in conversation they can build on the ideas of others and so their initial understandings change and develop. We want students to be able to accept different points of view and be challenged by the thinking of others in order to synthesise new ideas.
There is an expectation that students become increasingly sophisticated analysts of written, spoken and viewed texts. Understanding that texts have different layers is a difficult concept in itself. In order to explore and understand a text thoroughly students learn to unpack the layers of author's purpose, the intended audience, how visual and written information work together to make meaning as well as the literal and inferred meanings in a text. By Stage Three this reaches the sophisticated point of being able to address how a text is positioning the reader.
Unpacking these layers in a text is best achieved through structured conversation facilitated by the teacher building on students' understanding. Everyone's understanding grows through rich talk about text.
Recently an anonymous comment appeared on a course evaluation. 'Conversation is worth a thousand worksheets.' I couldn't agree more! As teachers of every grade we need to hone our skills of facilitating classroom talk that is rich and meaningful.
I was energetically working out at the gym yesterday when this sign flashed onto the screen. It resonated with my thinking about learning goals for students and the power of being explicit. It is an important step in facilitating the growth of student agency or independence to help the students in our class understand the next most important step, for them, along the learning continuum of reading, writing, spelling or maths. However, knowing your goal without unpacking how to achieve that goal is literally wishful thinking. For me so much of our success as teachers comes back to being explicit.
In the gym the coaches check in with us regularly about our progress, the correct use of the equipment and answer any questions we might have. We need to touch base frequently with our students. By engaging in meaningful conversation around their progress and providing feedback, we maintain the momentum for students to successfully achieve their learning goals.
On the look out for new books?
Have you seen Finding Winnie written by Lindsay Mattick and illustrated by Sophie Blackall?
Did you know that this book, published in 2015, won the 2016 Caldecott medal?
Did you know that there was a real bear called Winnie and the Winnie the Pooh stories are based on the real bear?
If you answered 'no' to any of these questions then I have a great new book you might be interested in reading and sharing with your class. Finding Winnie has three distinct parts. Firstly the story of the real bear called Winnie and then a second story about the creation of Winnie the Pooh. The last part of the text is a collection of old photos and other artifacts that relate to both stories.
I think this is a real find! It might even make some interesting connections with History and the use of sources and the 'reading' of visual images like photos.
As the new school year starts teachers everywhere are gearing up to get the best out of their students. The catch cry is improved student learning and I have never met a teacher who didn't want the best for the students in their class. As I reflected on this idea I have been challenged by a sign up at my gym. (Yes, I can hear you laughing but the TRIO team are all keen members of a gym!!!) The gym wants me to have a goal to motivate me into a more healthy lifestyle. The reasons the gym values goal setting are much the same as why we should be inspired to set appropriate learning goals with our students.
Goals help you be who you want to be.
Goals stretch your comfort zone.
Goals help turn the impossible into possible.
Goals lead to feelings of satisfaction.
These are good reasons for any of us to set goals but especially good reasons to set realistic learning goals with our students to ensure they are successful life long learners.
A TRIO of old chooks was the photo on my birthday card from one of the TRIO team this January. We had a good laugh but I have reflected on the chooks and I feel proud to be part of a TRIO of old chooks. What is there to be proud of you may ask?
First the idea of a TRIO or a thinking partner or a community of learners. sharing ideas and especially our classroom successes and failures keeps the conversation real and keeps our grounded in the practical not just theoretical. The expectations for a teacher working in a classroom are very high and we all need a group or a partner to debrief with and share our current thinking.
Secondly, 'old' could be an insult but I substitute 'experienced' and feel proud to have been passionate about my choice of career for many years. this doesn't give me the right to say, 'We have always done that this way!' or 'I'm too old to write a program' but I can bring a well rounded point of view to stage discussions, I can support new teachers in my school and offer them a range of ideas to address student outcomes.
Lastly: 'chooks.' I've watched hens in action and they are intent on the tasks of finding food and laying eggs. They know their purpose and invest energy in achieving it. What is our purpose as teachers? We have a mandatory syllabus and are engaged in the task of improving student outcomes. Two things are crucial to our effectiveness, understanding the syllabus and programming to outcomes from the syllabus. How well do you know the syllabus and how are you going to teach with passion and purpose this year?
TRIO was excited to celebrate World Teachers' Day at a lunch organised by the Australian Education Union today at Darling Harbour. We enjoyed good company, great food and inspiring speeches from Michele Bruniges, Stephen Dinham and Susan Hopgood. The message: teachers matter! The speakers spoke about change in education and improving student outcomes. The magic ingredient is teachers! Teachers and professional learning were both cited by the speakers as key components of ongoing student improvement.
My new phrase of the week is 'conscious competence.' TRIO had a great day yesterday at a CPL course organised by the NSW Teachers' Federation. As always we shared the day with teachers who had travelled far to attend and share in the discussion about visual literacy. We all acknowledge that we live in a visual world and so unconsciously we 'read and absorb' visual messages all day but everyone present learnt how to be more 'consciously competent' in unpacking how visuals are composed. We unpacked the language of the syllabus and some visual literacy terminology. There was a sense of excitement by the end of the day as teachers prepared to leave with lots of ideas to use in their classrooms. To support teachers unpacking what the NSW English syllabus has to say about visual literacy, TRIO has produced a set of ten posters and a list of the texts we use to introduce visual literacy vocabulary. If you are interested in looking at these resources click on the titles to go to the resource section of the TRIO website.

It's hard to think of Silicon Valley without thinking of Peter Thiel. You may not agree with everything Thiel does or stands for, but objectively speaking, he's a genius. As PayPal and Palantir co-founder turned VC and one of the first investors in Facebook, he knows startups and technology inside and out. His NYT bestselling book (co-written by Blake Masters), Zero To One, is a must read for anyone that wants to gain a greater understanding of how technology has and hasn't lived up to its full potential.
In Zero To One, Thiel tackles his biggest frustration: most startups today take us from 1 to n instead of 0 to 1.
1 to n is what he refers to as horizontal progress. Horizontal progress incrementally improves products/services that already exist. This is also known as globalization: taking things that work somewhere and making them work everywhere.
On the contrary, going from 0 to 1 is vertical progress. Vertical progress creates new products/services, which in turn create entirely new markets. He refers to his process as technology: any new and better way of doing things.
For Thiel, vertical progress trumps horizontal progress. He argues that it's not only what our economy needs, but it's what our society needs.
How do companies get there?
If a company becomes a monopoly - one that's so good at what it does that no other firm can compete or offer a close substitute - it's a good indication that it went from 0 to 1.
Have you identified a unique opportunity that others don't see?
As market researchers we're uniquely positioned to help companies answer some of these big questions and address some of the other areas that Thiel focuses on in the book, such as sales and viral marketing. I highly recommend picking up this book and giving it a read to help your clients go from 0 to 1.
Research Measurement in a State of Crisis?
This was my first Media Insights & Engagement Conference which was a change of learning for me as I have been focused on attending conferences focused more on the shopper or consumer. However, even though this was media focused, there were incredible speakers that all tied back to how measurement has evolved over the past few years and how we can leverage this to understand audiences better.

The Friends' postal address, telephone numbers and the email addresses of the Secretary, the Treasurer and our Publicity Officer are all shown at the foot of each page.
Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital improve care and treatment for patients by helping to pay for medical equipment, patient comforts and staff resources which would not otherwise be provided. Treatment for all patients has been greatly enhanced by our supporters.
For every pound raised, we spend 92½p on this support, 4p on governance costs and 3½p on publicity.
Under starters orders! Please come and support our next fundraiser - a fantastic evening of racing fun and frolics!
Tickets are £12 each which includes a fish and chip supper. Cash bar.
With very grateful thanks to The Kitchen Man for sponsoring this event.
Since January 2019, visitors to Gloucester Ward have been welcomed by a large and colourful mural - commissioned by the hospital's management, designed and painted by local artist Amy Hutchings and paid for by the Friends.
Amy was asked to create a colourful, vibrant and positive image illustrating Bristol Eye Hospital as central to eye health in the city. It also had to be robust and easily cleaned to conform to modern hospital health and safety standards. Amy's design includes BEH in a skyline with green space, sky and water and uses primary colours more visible to the partially sighted and appealing to all ages.
The Friends were delighted to fund this project and we're sure you'll agree that it creates a much brighter and welcoming environment.
Other examples of Amy Hutching's work can be found at www.amyhutchings.co.uk.
A new edition of In Sight is now available in the Eye Hospital. You can also view or download a copy from our In Sight page. Copies will be distributed to members and supporters shortly.
We apologise for the delay in producing In Sight. We have been without a Publicity Officer for a year or so; but we are now delighted to welcome Kevin Abbey in that role and thank him for producing the new edition - our first since April 2017 - a bumper issue of 12 pages. We hope you enjoy it!
Captain Martin Paterson said "As captain, I have the choice of which charity my club will support throughout the year. Many of our members, including myself, are currently undergoing or have received treatment at Bristol Eye Hospital. Therefore, to show our gratitude for all the treatment we have received, and after talking with Professor Sparrow, it was an automatic choice to support Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital".
We have designed some new banners for the Bowling Club, based in Weston-super-Mare, to promote the Friends - in readiness for the new outdoor season which starts in April. These will be available for us to use at similar events in future.
In addition to promoting us at their many social events and indoor activities, including short mat bowls, the Club's seven different teams play in various local league games and host games against visiting teams from all over the country. They also have a dedicated charity day where members dress up to a theme for a fun day of bowls. So lots of opportunities to raise funds for and to promote the Friends.
We are sad to report the death, on 18 January 2019 at the age of 79, of Brenda Fearn, formerly Sister in charge of Day-Case Cataract Surgery, Day-Case Children's Surgery and Pre-Op Assessment, whom we are sure many patients will remember. Her career in nursing spanned 48 years of which the last 15 were at Bristol Eye Hospital. In the early nineties Brenda and her staff pioneered the practice of pre-op assessment; Brenda also initiated hostel beds on King Ward for day-case patients who lived alone - in those days, they were not allowed home on the day of their operation.
Liz Annesley, Dinah Harrison, Simon St Leger-Harris, Elizabeth Treherne, Heather Walker and Jenny Ward (representing the Friends and the Bristol Eye Hospital) were amongst many at her funeral in St Peter's Church, Henleaze on Friday 22 February.
Moorwood Art chose Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital as the charity supported by their 2019 Show, which ran from 15 to 28 March 2019.
A report on the Show and the funds raised will follow.
We were notified on 21 January that BT are closing MyDonate, our online fundraising and donation platform, with effect from 30 June 2019.
Sponsorship, donations, purchase of event tickets or any other payments may continue to be made via the link on the donations page of our website until that date.
The Trustees have selected a new provider and as soon as our application has been processed and we have 'gone live', we will publicise details of our new provider on our website, on Facebook and by email to all of our supporters who have consented to be contacted by email, especially those who currently donate to us via MyDonate or who have used it to raise sponsosrhip for us in the past.
We have been very pleased with MyDonate's services since we started using them in 2013. We are sorry to see them close. They have enabled us to raise funds from sponsorship and from those wishing to donate by debit or credit card - easily and at virtually no cost.
If you have not heard from us and wish to be contacted, or if you require any further information about our stance on GDPR, please contact the Secretary.


A cool waterfall spot just outside of Marenisco, and a short hike to boot.
Outside of Marenisco, MI, take Cty Rd 523 north of town. The trailhead is just north of the bridge over Presque Isle River, hidden away in the trees. We missed it our first pass over the bridge.
Once at the trailhead, hike down roughly 0.25 to 0.5 miles to see the waterfalls to your left. There are multiple sets of falls to see along the way.

Bernie Sanders is not a communist – I should know
Home > Party Voices > Bernie Sanders is not a communist – I should know
BY: Joe Sims| February 15, 2020
Bernie Sanders is not a communist as Trump recently charged. I should know—I represent the largest "bunch of communists" in the country organized by the Communist Party USA. Along with Rossana Cambron I am the CP's co-chairperson.
As a younger man, I was organized as a communist not via Moscow, Russia, and the KGB, but in Youngstown, Ohio, by U.S. Steel and the collapse of the steel industry.
A 22-year-old graduate of Oberlin College in 1979 and descendant of three generations of steelworkers, I experienced firsthand the "American carnage" Donald Trump spoke to so demagogically during his inauguration. With tens of thousands laid off, Youngstown, like so many other Rustbelt cities, became a post-industrial ghost town without a future. With Dad retired, brothers and everyone else I knew laid off, there was nothing to return to. I moved to New York, joined the staff of the Communist Party and have remained there ever since.
Thoughts that I had made a bad choice after the fall of the Berlin Wall were tempered by the recurring economic downturns, the unrelenting attacks on labor, the heartless shredding of the social safety net and, to top it off, the wholesale robbery inflicted on Blacks, Latinos, and senior citizens during the banks' subprime rip-off. Nothing like Wall Street barons stealing billions to revive your revolutionary vigor!
That I made the right choice was recently reinforced once again by General Motors' closing of its Lordstown assembly plant, yet another blow to the Youngstown area's finest workers. Want to produce more communists? Keep it coming, GM!
It was Big Business's maximum profit imperative, in a word, capitalism, that has precipitated the collapse of basic industry all across the country. It's NAFTA, not socialism, that has held down wages and kicked U.S. workers in the gut.
And yes, Americans, many of them young, are gravitating to socialist ideas. They see in a new updated 21st-century version of socialism, free of the errors of the past, the opportunity to solve some of the life-and-death problems confronting our country, like climate change, health care, and the opioid epidemic.
Bernie, AOC and others have bravely put forward far-reaching, sensible proposals for addressing these and other issues, many of which reds like me agree with. However, that doesn't make them communists. What's the difference? The moral imperatives of socialists to reform the capitalist system are great but not enough. Communists believe that ultimately capitalism cannot reform itself, that Youngstowns will happen over and over again until the profit system is replaced by a society run by and for workers and the poor.
Labeling these ideas as "foreign imports," and demanding their advocates "go back where they came from" is not only dangerous: It borders on giving rise to the dictatorial.
I know what it feels like to be told to go "back to where you came from," not in rejection of the color of my politics (though that has occurred) but rather the color of my skin. It's a dangerous moment indeed, when agents of the state—in my case, racist cops—place you outside the realm of the acceptable and threaten you. Not only do your rights as a citizen of the republic seem in danger, but also your humanity and, even more, your very life.
Almost a century ago, W.E.B. Du Bois spoke of the African-American feeling of experiencing a double consciousness, of being "a part," yet "apart."
Take away one's livelihood, challenge one's rights, deny a person's humanity—and what's left? Are not all, or even some, of these at stake in the GOP's red-baiting, go-back-to-where-you-came-from attacks?
People are listening. And this is why Trump's and Graham's lies must be rejected—before it's too late.

Truth by Kbaig: "Major Leetul Gogoi" Coward Officer of a Demoralized Army!
"Major Leetul Gogoi" Coward Officer of a Demoralized Army!
Illegal presence of Indian state terrorists (Army) breaking all records of brutality in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) is not hidden from the world. The UN resolution to allow Kashmiris to decide their fate through plebiscite was passed with the vote of the majority. However, India, in spite of allowing the plebiscite has deployed 0.8 million regular troops and 0.5 million paramilitary troops in order to suppress Kashmiris and stage the drama of elections to befool word that these elections are an alternative of the UN-backed plebiscite. Kashmiris have always forcefully rejected this drama but Indian has been imposing puppet governments on Kashmiris while the control of the IoK has been always in the hands of Indian forces. On 09 April 2017, during such a staged drama elections in Budgam; Kashmiris boycotted the so-called elections through protests and stone pelting. Polling stations were deserted. Indian army might have used pellet guns to take the eyesight of the protestors or directly hit them to take their lives but in this way, the drama of successful elections would have badly failed. Indians have invited journalists to show them the people standing in rows to cast vote in order to convince the world that these are not fake elections.
In order to handle the protestors, Indian army's Major Leetul Gogoi discovered such a solution that might be expected from some feudal lord or goon but not from the officer of a professional army. Major Leetul from 53 Rashtriya Rifles has served on different posts before being promoted to the post of Major. All he did shows the mental level, training, and discipline in the Indian army hired to kill and crush the unarmed soldiers. It shows Indian Army is not a professional army but a group Hindu extremists working as mercenaries. Major Leetul Gogoi got hands on 26 years old passer-by Farooq Dar an artisan of embroidery, tied him to the bumper of the jeep. He kept Farooq Dar tied to his jeep for 5 hours wandering through all the areas where the drama of elections was being staged but other areas as well.
Despite being the ban on Internet, Whatsapp and other social media sites the video of using Farooq Dar as "Human Shield" got viral by Indian soldiers. Indian Soldiers of 53 Rashtriya Rifles recorded and shared these clips with other soldiers. Still, the drama of elections was going on that the video was telecasted by Indian channels showing the low morals and lack of professionalism of the Indian army. With this, discussions broke up on the International media that an Indian army officer has discovered such a cheap solution to save himself from the protestors which even Israeli forces have not done in the Palestine.
Indian Defense Ministry rejected the stance that Farooq Dar was being used as a Human Shield. Mehbooba Mufti ordered Police to conduct the inquiry of the incident. In order to prove themselves innocent, Indian army blamed Farooq Dar for pelting stones on the Indian army's convoy. He threw heavy stones due to which two Indian soldiers were injured. As a reaction, Indian soldiers in spite of killing him or shooting him tied him up with their jeep as a punishment. Indian army's representative was of the view that they did not tie Farooq Dar as a human shield.
Indian Army Officer Leetul Gogoi was given the award for using Kashmiri man as the human shield.
When Farooq Dar was inquired about the incident, he stated that he is a laborer who has not thrown the stone on anyone. He was returning after casting his vote. However, a case was registered against Indian army on 17 April in Budgam Police Station as India has to face severe criticism from within India but internationally as well. This was the only solution in the mind of Indians to stop the protests on the international level.
On 19 May 2017, in a press conference that journalists and other while criticizing Indian army they should not forget that Indian army is a responsible institution. Indian army was responsible for assuring the safety of those casting votes, that is why such incident occurred.
In the whole story, the column written by Chief Minister of Eastern Punjab Captain (Retd) Amrinder Singh fueled the situation. He severely criticized Indian soldiers especially Major Gogoi and his seniors. According to him, Farooq Dar who was tied to the bumper of the jeep and has to face Indian brutality powerlessly has shown more courage than the Major of the Indian Army. Farooq Dar should be awarded the 'Distinguished Services Medal'. Army officer should make decisions through the chain of command and should not make such decision that hurts the credibility of the entire army. Major Leetul Gogoi showed his shallowness of courage by punishing a Kashmiri unarmed person who has committed the crime of casting vote against the majority of his countrymen.
Although some may say that is an innovative technique which may save lives on both sides, I would condemn it as it is the violation of rights. It is prohibited, Lt Gen(R) BS Jaswal.
The discussion was going on that on 28 May 2017, Indian Army Chief Bipin Rawat, destroyed the remaining credibility of Indian army in a Press Conference. The news of awarding Major Gogoi has been already reported in the media through resources. Indian media was waiting for clarification by Indian Army or Ministry of Defense and the reason behind the award. General Bipin Rawat announced to give the award to the coward Major Gogoi, and presented a strange reason behind the award saying that "If Kashmiris take up weapons they will know the strength of the Indian army and it will be easier for Indian army to give them a befitting reply". If such a wordily statement has been given by some politician this might have been acceptable but such mutilation of the facts by Army Chief is strange.
The stance of Indian Army Chief has not been accepted by serious groups in Indian army. They are of the view that in order to save a coward and ineligible Major, Indian Army Chief has supported the Kashmiris' stance that Indian is illegally occupying IoK on gunpoint. Such presence of Indian army is not acceptable for Kashmiris. That is why for 7 decades Kashmiris are continuing their protest and freedom movement sacrificing their lives proving themselves braver than Indian army.

Saul is the son of William Saul, an army officer, and a British mother whose family had a long tradition of military service.[5] His life, from the beginning, took place in a national context. Born in Ottawa, and christened in Calgary, he spent his infancy in Alberta and much of his childhood in Manitoba, but graduated from high school in Oakville, Ontario. At a young age he became fluent in both national languages, French and English. By the time he started university at McGill University, Montreal, his father was in Paris and Brussels, working as a military adviser to the Canadian ambassador to NATO.
After completing his undergraduate Saul was accepted into the foreign service, but the death of his father in 1968 changed Saul's career plans. He left the foreign service to attend King's College London, where he wrote his thesis on the modernization of France under Charles de Gaulle, and earned his PhD in 1972. His doctoral thesis, "The Evolution of Civil-Military Relations in France after the Algerian War", led him to France for research. There he began to write his first novel, Mort d'un général, a romanticized version of his thesis on de Gaulle's Chief of staff. He supported himself by running the French subsidiary of a British investment company.
After helping to set up the national oil company Petro-Canada in 1976, as assistant to its first chair, Maurice F. Strong, Saul published his first novel, The Birds of Prey, in 1977. Strong described Saul as "an invaluable, though unconventional, member of my personal staff."[5]
Through the late 1970s into the 1980s, Saul travelled extensively and regularly spent time with guerrilla armies, spending a great deal of time in North Africa and South East Asia. Out of this time came his novels, The Field Trilogy. It was during those extended periods in Northwest Africa and Southeast Asia where he witnessed fellow writers there suffering government suppression of freedom of expression, which caused him to become interested in the work of PEN International.[6] Between the years of 1990 and 1992, Saul acted as the President of the Canadian centre of PEN International and in 2009 he was elected president of PEN and re-elected for a second and last term in 2012, remaining International President until October 2015.
Writing[edit]
Fiction[edit]
The Birds of Prey (1977) is a political novel based in Gaullist France. Between 1983 and 1988 Saul then published The Field Trilogy, which deals with the crisis of modern power and its clash with the individual. It includes Baraka, or The Lives, Fortunes and Sacred Honor of Anthony Smith (1983), The Next Best Thing (1986), and The Paradise Eater (1988), which won the Premio Letterario Internazionale in Italy.
De si bons Américains (1994) is a picaresque novel in which he observes the lives of America's nouveaux riches. A vastly reworked and expanded version was published in 2012 as Dark Diversions, Saul's first novel in over fifteen years.
Non-fiction[edit]
Voltaire's Bastards, The Doubter's Companion and The Unconscious Civilization[edit]
Saul's non-fiction began with the trilogy comprising the bestseller Voltaire's Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West (1992), the polemic philosophical dictionary The Doubter's Companion: A Dictionary of Aggressive Common Sense (1994), and the book that grew out of his 1995 Massey Lectures, The Unconscious Civilization (1995). The last won the 1996 Governor General's Award for Non-Fiction Literature.
These books deal with themes such as the dictatorship of reason unbalanced by other human qualities, how it can be used for any ends especially in a directionless state that rewards the pursuit of power for power's sake. He argues that this leads to deformations of thought such as ideology promoted as truth; the rational but anti-democratic structures of corporatism, by which he means the worship of small groups; and the use of language and expertise to mask a practical understanding of the harm caused by this, and what else our society might do. He argues that the rise of individualism with no regard for the role of society has not created greater individual autonomy and self-determination, as was once hoped, but isolation and alienation. He calls for a pursuit of a more humanist ideal in which reason is balanced with other human mental capacities such as common sense, ethics, intuition, creativity, and memory, for the sake of the common good, and he discusses the importance of unfettered language and practical democracy. These attributes are elaborated upon in his 2001 book On Equilibrium.
Reflections of a Siamese Twin[edit]
He expanded on these themes as they relate to Canada and its history and culture in Reflections of a Siamese Twin (1998). In this book, he proposed the idea of Canada being a "soft" country, meaning not that the nation is weak, but that it has a flexible and complex identity, as opposed to the unyielding or monolithic identities of other states.
He argues that Canada's complex national identity is made up of the "triangular reality" of the three nations that compose it: First Peoples, francophones, and anglophones. He emphasizes the willingness of these Canadian nations to compromise with one another, as opposed to resorting to open confrontations. In the same vein, he criticizes both those in the Quebec separatist Montreal School for emphasizing the conflicts in Canadian history and the Orange Order and the Clear Grits traditionally seeking clear definitions of Canadian-ness and loyalty.
On Equilibrium[edit]
Saul's next book, On Equilibrium (2001), is effectively a fourth, concluding volume to his philosophical quartet. He identifies six qualities as common to all people: common sense, ethics, imagination, intuition, memory, and reason. He describes how these inner forces can be used to balance each other, and what happens when they are unbalanced, for example in the case of a "Dictatorship of Reason".
The Collapse of Globalism[edit]
In an article written for Harper's magazine's March 2004 issue, titled The Collapse of Globalism and the Rebirth of Nationalism, he argued that the globalist ideology was under attack by counter-movements. Saul rethought and developed this argument in The Collapse of Globalism and the Reinvention of the World (2005). Far from being an inevitable force, Saul argued that globalization is already breaking down in the face of widespread public opposition and that the world was seeing a rise in nationalism. Following the economic collapse he had predicted, The Collapse of Globalism was re-issued in 2009 with a new epilogue that addressed the current crisis.
A Fair Country[edit]
A Fair Country (2008) is Saul's second major work on Canada. It is organized into four subsections.
"A Métis Civilization"
This section picks up on the argument that Saul makes in Reflections of a Siamese Twin about the 'triangular reality of Canada'. Drawing on the work of scholars like Harold Innis and Gerald Friesen,[7] Saul argues that contemporary Canada has been deeply influenced and shaped by Aboriginal ideas and the experience of both Francophone and Anglophone immigrants over the 250 years, from 1600 on, during which Aboriginals were either the dominant force in Canada, or equal partners. He argues that Aboriginals are making a rapid "comeback", and that their fundamental influence needs to be recognized in order for non-Aboriginal Canadians to understand themselves.
"Peace, Fairness, and Good Government"
In this section Saul argues that instead of the phrase "peace, order, and good government", which appears in and has become a touchstone of the 1867 Canadian Constitution, the phrase that dominated previous Canadian documents was "peace, welfare, and good government". Saul suggests that the ensuing emphasis on "order" has not truly represented Canadian origins.
"The Castrati"
This sections echoes Saul's more general critiques of technocratic and bureaucratic regimes. He also suggests that while current Canadian elites reflect a "disturbing mediocrity" this was not always the case.[8]
"An Intentional Civilization"
Saul uses the final section of the book to argue for a return to an understanding of Canada as a unique response to particular historical circumstances.
Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine and Robert Baldwin[edit]
Saul's contribution to Penguin Canada's Extraordinary Canadians series, of which he serves as general editor, is a double biography of Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine and Robert Baldwin. In it, he argues that Canada did not begin in 1867, but that in fact its foundations were laid by LaFontaine and Baldwin much earlier. The two leaders of Lower and Upper Canada, respectively, worked together after the 1841 Union to lead a reformist movement for responsible government run by elected citizens instead of a colonial governor. But it was during the "Great Ministry" of 1848—51 that the two politicians implemented laws that Saul argues created a more equitable country. They revamped judicial institutions, created a public education system, made bilingualism official, designed a network of public roads, began a public postal system, and reformed municipal governance. Faced with opposition, and even violence, Saul contends that the two men united behind a set of principles and programs that formed modern Canada.
The Comeback[edit]
His most recent work, The Comeback: How Aboriginals Are Reclaiming Power and Influence (2014) was a shortlisted nominee for the 2015 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing.[9] The "comeback" that Saul identifies in this new book emphasizes the strides that Aboriginal people have made in reversing years of population decline and "cultural oppression". As recently as seventy years ago it was widely assumed that Indians were disappearing, the victims of disease, starvation and their own ineptitude for modern civilization. Canada's Aboriginal population is growing in numbers and its cultural and political self-confidence seems boundless. In Saul's view, this observation, while obvious to anyone who studies the history, nonetheless needs hammering home. We are far more used to hearing about the dismal lives of Aboriginal people—their family dysfunction, their crime rates, their impoverished communities—than we are to being told they are a success story. Today's Aboriginal population, for all the problems that afflict it, has overcome incredible disadvantages to achieve what Saul calls "a position of power, influence and civilizational creativity" in Canadian society.[10]
Activities[edit]
Saul is co-chair of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, which encourages new Canadians to become active citizens. He is patron and former president of the Canadian Centre of PEN International. He is also founder and honorary chair of French for the Future, which encourages bilingual French-English education, chair of the advisory board for the LaFontaine-Baldwin Symposium lecture series, and a patron of Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network. From 1999 until 2006, his wife Adrienne Clarkson was Governor General of Canada, making him Canada's viceregal consort. During this period he devoted much of his time to issues of freedom of expression, poverty, public education and bilingualism.
PEN International[edit]
Saul was elected as the international president of PEN International for a three-year term at its Annual Congress in Linz, Austria in October 2009. He was the first Canadian to be elected to that position, which had previously been held by John Galsworthy, Arthur Miller, Heinrich Böll, Mario Vargas Llosa and Homero Aridjis.[5] He campaigned on the need to pay attention to smaller and endangered languages and cultures, arguing that the ultimate removal of freedom of expression was the loss of a language. He put a specific emphasis on endangered indigenous languages. He called for a further decentralization of PEN, which has 144 centres in 102 countries. He argues that literature and freedom of expression are the same thing; that you cannot have one without the other. Saul has testified before the European Parliament Human Rights Commission on the loss of freedom of expression in Tunisia, has spoken before European Council on Refugees in Exile, and has published an essay on writers in exile, which has been translated into several languages.
The Institute for Canadian Citizenship[edit]
Saul founded, and currently co-chairs, the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) with Adrienne Clarkson. The ICC is a national, non-profit charity that helps accelerate new citizens' integration into Canadian life through original programs, collaborations and unique volunteer opportunities. While its focus is on encouraging new citizens to take their rightful place in Canada, the ICC aims to encourage all citizens – new or not – to embrace active citizenship in their daily life.
Speaking[edit]
In addition to his selection as the 1995 Massey lecturer, Saul has delivered other notable lectures. He gave the Harold Innis Lecture in 1994. In 2000 he gave the inaugural LaFontaine-Baldwin Symposium Lecture. Saul delivered the J.D. Young Memorial Lecture "A New Era of Irregular Warfare?" at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario on February 4, 2004.[11] He gave the 2005 IDEAS lecture in Brisbane, Australia, the 2007 Captive Mind Lecture in Kraków, Poland, and in 2008 gave the 33rd Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture in Barbados. He also delivered the 2009 McGill Law Journal's Annual Lecture at the McGill Faculty of Law in Montreal on February 3, 2009.[12] Saul also spoke at the Sydney Opera House on August 26, 2012 on the subject "It's Broke: How do we fix it?"[13]

Women, Lawyers, Workers
When did the initiative commence?
The project was funded from June 2012 to December 2013.
What need does the initiative respond to?
The Women, Lawyers, Workers project responded to the need for women who have experienced or are experiencing family violence to be able to access free, case-based legal advice.
"Victoria Police have come a long way in terms of their understanding of family violence but, in many cases, women who've experienced violence are let down by the legal system," says project worker Kei Judd.
"A large part of Victoria Legal Aid funding is allocated to criminal matters—men who perpetrate violence are probably going to require legal advice or representation first, meaning women can't access legal services from them because of conflicts of interest," Kei says.
"The community legal centres, too, have limited capacity. Many CLC can't assist with property matters or child support matters. "
What organisations are involved in the initiative?
Women's Health In the North, Women's Health Goulburn North East, Berry Street Northern Domestic Family Violence Service, Georgina Martina Inc., Crossroads Family Violence Service, the Centre Against Violence in Wangaratta, Marion Community, Kildonan, and Nexus Primary Health, together with the Women's Legal Service, formed a partnership to deliver free legal advice, via Skype, to women experiencing family violence.
What does the initiative do? Who does it support?
"The service worked holistically to allow women supported by family violence workers to access legal advice in a safe and familiar space" Kei says.
"Women who were still in violent relationships were able to get advice on issues like children, property and debt—and what their options were if they decided to leave.
"Women who had left violent relationships were able to get advice on topics like separation and divorce, property, spending time with children and what protections the law could offer."
How is the initiative resourced/funded?
The pilot project was funded by the Legal Services Board.
Following the pilot on 2013, the Women's Legal Service secured funding from the Legal Services Board and Victoria Legal Aid to continue the project for a further year.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to set up a similar initiative?
Women's Health In the North, Women's Health Goulburn North East, in conjunction with an external evaluator, undertook research about the pilot. The evaluation report was released in December 2014.
How should clients be referred into the program?
The service was rebranded as the Link Virtual Outreach Program and expanded to other regions. For information about how to access this service, contact the Women's Legal Service Victoria.

It 'Could Cause a Lot of Problems' FBI took Trump's Will (That's a document covered by the warrant???)
Post author By Phoenix
No Comments on It 'Could Cause a Lot of Problems' FBI took Trump's Will (That's a document covered by the warrant???)
Do they really just throw "classified" documents on the floor like that?
Former President Donald Trump said during a Wednesday night appearance on the Fox News show "Hannity" that his will is missing and he thinks the Justice Department has it.
Last month, the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, and confiscated boxes of documents, claiming they should not have been in his possession and included classified material.
The former president denounced the unprecedented raid and said the FBI took a wide range of private papers along with other documents.
On Sunday, Trump made his first trip to Mar-a-Lago since the raid, and he spoke about that with host Sean Hannity in an interview at the Florida estate Wednesday night.
Hannity noted that Trump had lost about 500 pages of documents protected by attorney-client privilege.
"They took a lot. I think they took my will. I found out yesterday," the former president said. "I said, 'Where is it?'"
"Am I in it?" Hannity asked as Trump repeated, "I think they took my will."
"That could cause a lot of problems," he said, smiling at the Fox News host's question.
"That could cause a lot of problems if that gets published for people who won't be so happy, or maybe will be very happy," Trump said.
The former president said the Justice Department "shopped" until it found someone who would sign the warrant to raid his property.
Trump, who was not at Mar-a-Lago for the raid, said he learned of it when a worker called him.
"I was in New Jersey. I got a call in the morning from somebody that's here. … 'Sir, the FBI just came in.' I said, 'What? The FBA? Who?' And they go, 'The FBI.' And I said, 'How many people?' And he said, 'Many, many people, sir. Many, many people."
He said he was told the FBI wanted to do the raid "quietly, silently."
The former president told Hannity that after he received questions from the media about the raid, he put out a statement announcing it.
"These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," Trump wrote in a statement on Aug. 8.
"Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate."
pic.twitter.com/1SqRDsVKLL
— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 8, 2022
During the "Hannity" interview, Trump said, "I declassified everything."
That question was debated Tuesday in a hearing by special master Raymond Dearie, who wanted the former president's attorneys to point to a specific instance or document proving Trump's claim, according to The New York Times.
Dearie indicated that absent such proof, he would be inclined to agree with the Justice Department on the issue, meaning documents it says were classified will be treated as such.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the conduct of the FBI during the raid.
"Arrived in Florida last night and had a long and detailed chance to check out the scene of yet another government 'crime,' the FBI's Raid and Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago. I guess they don't think there is a Fourth Amendment anymore, and to them, there isn't," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"In any event, after what they have done, the place will never be the same. It was 'ransacked,' and in far different condition than the way I left it. Many Agents — And they didn't even take off their shoes in my bedroom. Nice!!!"

Q: C++ Reading from text file data type as struct and store data in vectors of lists I have a large data in text file in form:
1 0.933 2 0.865 3 0.919 4 0.726
2 0.854 3 0.906 4 0.726
2 0.882 5 0.853 4 0.897
.
. etc

every integer number follows with its float value. I want to read this file line by line, and store each line in list. I know how to do that using array of linked lists, but, I couldn't fix the memory leak. I read that it is better to use STL instead.
Example:
    list 1=  1 0.933 2 0.865 3 0.919 4 0.726
    list 2=  2 0.854 3 0.906 4 0.726
    list 3=  2 0.882 5 0.853 4 0.897
.
.

I'm not sure if the (vectors of lists) is similar to the (array of linked lists). I have tried different ways but all my attempts failed.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <vector>
#include <list>
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <sstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <fstream>

struct MyData{
    int Item;
    float Prob;
};
std::istream& operator>>(std::istream &is, MyData&d)
{
    return is >> d.Item >> d.Prob;
}

int main()
{

    std::ifstream in("DataF.txt");
    std::string line;
    int i = 0;
    while (std::getline(in, line)) {
            typedef std::istream_iterator<MyData> MyDataIstrIt;
            std::stringstream ss(line);
        std::vector< std::list< MyData> >  data3{ MyDataIstrIt(ss), MyDataIstrIt() }; //  here I couldn't fix the  extractor definition for the vectors of lists

// another attempt
/*std::vector<MyData> data{ MyDataIstrIt(ss), MyDataIstrIt() };
  std::vector< std::list< MyData> > data2;
  data2.push_back(std::vector<MyData>()); // I read this is important for memory leak
  data2.push_back(data);*/
 // data2[i].push_back(data);
 // ++i;

    }
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

A: There are better ways to do it of course but for the sake of showing you how to use a list or read into one and then place that into a vector..
#include <vector>
#include <list>
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <sstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <fstream>

struct MyData
{
    int Item;
    float Prob;
};

std::istream& operator>>(std::istream &is, MyData&d)
{
    return is >> d.Item >> d.Prob;
}

int main()
{
    std::string line;
    std::vector<std::list<MyData>> data;

    std::ifstream in("DataF.txt"); //don't forget to check `if (in.is_open())`

    while(std::getline(in, line))
    {
        std::stringstream ss(line);
        std::list<MyData> inner;
        MyData info;

        while(ss >> info)
        {
            inner.push_back(info);
        }

        data.push_back(inner);
    }

    for (auto &list : data)
    {
        for (auto &mdata : list)
        {
            std::cout<<mdata.Item<<"   "<<mdata.Prob<<"\n";
        }
    }
}


The purpose of this Data Management Plan (DMP) is to present a clear and transparent methodology by which IDDO research themes will transform and process the uploaded clinical data into a standardised format in a manner that ensures reproducibility. It also provides a framework for discussing and developing such methodology.
The aim of Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) research themes is to provide a data repository for researchers, investigators and other stakeholders involved in clinical research and policy formulation for infectious diseases such as malaria, Ebola and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) currently, and possibly others in the future. The research themes offers an opportunity for researchers to store and retrieve individual patient data (IPD) in a standardised format.


my question is regarding link building... what exactly is lnterlinking in blogging ? and how to implement it?
Blog is your own thing, unless you are a guest blogger on another blog. People can comment, but they can't post.
Forum means where groups of people can post topics, talk about everything and anything, etc.
i need genuine advice from seo masters.
Let's say you signed an important invention in the field of academic and wanted to share it to the world. if you do not have a seo friendly web hosting package and if you do not know seo applications, the Google will score your website to were ranked lowest. Your academic achievement will fail in shares on your website.
why Google show different position result by changing Internet browser on same keyword? or show different result on Mobile phone on same key word? or even using proxy?
My wordpress site was hаcked, and now I got it back but all traffic gone how i can get all traffic back again?
and in 2012 forum posting was bringing high traffic but now its not.. so now what should I do for getting traffic?
Hey everyone! I'm sharing useful info here and asking for useful info?
You could use "auto repair shop," "car repair specialists," and "vehicle repair facility" on different pages, and Google could theoretically put you in the exact same category. Therefore, it's far more important to optimize your site for a specific meaning rather than a specific phrase, and you can likely forget about keywords altogether in an effort to post relevant content and naturally build yourself as an authority in a given space.
If you have read it then it's your turn answer my question.
I have different 5 keywords and links as below.
1 Does it count spamming if i use all keywords in "Titles, Keywords and Tags" field in bookmarking, classifieds, and business listing?
2 Can i do multiple submissions using different 5 links in single site?
Is this kind of articles help in rankings?

When clients come to us when they are under stress. They are stressed because they are moving to a new management model, from volunteer management to professional management. They may be under stress as they have just been forced to layoff staff, which is tough on all concerned. They may be under stress because the organization is not doing as well as it had been in the past and yet the core numbers are consistent. What ever the reason, they are under stress and it is our duty to reassure them and to make the bad man go away.
Stress is a killer, not only of individuals, but of organizations, creativity, collaboration and that great undefinable "fraternity". We deal with this by assisting the development of a strategic plan, "where do you want the organization to be in three years". We have already asked this question in our interview process. What? You interview your clients? Well of course we do. When we are asked to "present" to a board because they are interested in hiring us, we treat it as a job interview. We are not trying to sell them on how great we are; we are trying to see if it would be a good fit. The cost of staffing up, the investment of time in "onboarding" a new client, the stress to our staff to learn the behaviour of their members is difficult and we would not entertain the idea unless we thought it a good fit. Now excuse me for being crass, but it is a lot like dating. If this is successful we will be spending a lot of time together, so shouldn't we have common interests? So a coffee, a drink, a movie, dinner then after a few weeks one could hope to find a place in their medicine cabinet for your toothbrush. So we ask the question "where do you see this organization in three years?" That answers a lot of questions. Are they in survival mode? Do they have a vision? What are their strengths, their dangers, their opportunities?
Year one is stabilization. Changing management will open a lot of wounds. We ensure their bylaws are relevant to their current needs. I am certain that you know of organizations where certain directors have served "forever" even if the term of office is 3, 5, or 7 years. We ensure they are up to date on their banking requirements, and their government filing requirements. You would be surprised at how many organizations do not have their current directors filed with the government or CRA. Believe it or not, the CRA is actually checking who signs the tax return now. We implement systems and policies. Update and modernize the membership data base. Note that when you thought you had 750 members, 350 of them were non-paying affiliates or had not paid in years. That explains why membership revenue has been dropping. This requires work, and our staff is familiar with this. We put together an operational plan for the year. When is membership renewal? When was the last membership increase? When is the AGM? When is the conference? What sort of commitments has the organization made and how long is the term of those commitments? Can they be renegotiated? How many monthly events are there and what is the nature of those events? Do we have the right type of insurance? Do the bylaws indemnify the directors? We introduce the new management team to the membership. Who does what, who to call. Our goal in year one is to protect the organization, its directors and to stabilize the member experience and create the base from which to improve it.
Years two and three are growth years. This is when we start to implement the vision of the board. Where do you want to go? OK, now let's look at available resources. Can we do what you want with the resources at hand? No? Then we need to prioritize. We communicate this to the members. What is the organization doing? Why? How did they do? It doesn't all have to be success, it does have to be attempted and reported. People understand failure, but they will not accept non-participation. That is why they are members, for the organization to stand up on their behalf. We will involve our government relations department, our marketing department, our event department, our compliance department. Who ever we need to examine where the organization needs to be aware of issues and opportunities. This is where the fun begins, but even though this is implemented in year two, the planning begins in year one. We are aware of proposed legislation which may impact the industry because we put processes in place to be aware of that. We are in constant touch with the board, or executive committee related to their industry, the organization, upcoming events, potential issues, all the items that a professional management team would provide to the directors of a professional organization. The stress drops away as the directors now feel much more comfortable with their roles, and the fate of their organization.
As Donald Rumsfeld, former US Secretary of Defense, once pointed out "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." It is the unknown unknowns which cause the most stress.
Another helpful article. I'm glad I'm on your email list. Thank you.
