Policy and Practice round-up December 2020
This month we bring you news of a range of reports highlighting the impact of Covid on children experiencing disadvantage; new Covid guidance from government; how to get involved in the UNESCO Futures of Education initiative; STEAM activities; and ICYMI a DCMS report: the role of arts in improving health and wellbeing.
Impact of Covid on children experiencing disadvantage
As well as the Ofsted reports published on 10 November a number of other reports out in the past month have highlighted the increased impact of the pandemic on children already experiencing disadvantage.
The Education Policy Institute has reported on absence from school, noting the 'increasing evidence that the most disadvantaged pupils across the UK are disproportionately affected. November data from Scotland continues to show that school attendance rates are lowest in the most deprived areas (84%) and highest in the least deprived areas (93%).'
Teach First and Teacher Tapp have compiled survey results from teachers that show that 'four out of five schools with the poorest pupils in England and Wales do not have enough devices and internet access to ensure all self-isolating pupils can keep learning' according to the Guardian.
The Mental Health of Children and Young People in England 2020 report, published on 22 October by NHS Digital found that the proportion of children experiencing a probable mental disorder has increased over the past three years, from one in nine in 2017 to one in six in July this year.
New Covid guidance from government including delivering music, dance and drama in schools
The Department for Education (DfE) has updated its guidance for Schools and for Out-of-school settings, including an enhanced section on delivering music, dance and drama in schools.
The government has issued new COVID-19 delivery guidance for the cultural sector: here is the updated Performing Arts and Visitor Economy guidance, and further guidance for the Christmas period.
The Space for Learning Covid guidance Government guidance section has also been updated with the new restrictions for England, Scotland and Wales.
Get involved in the UNESCO Futures of Education initiative
The Futures of Education: Learning to Become initiative is aiming to catalyse a global debate on how knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet, and has been running since September 2019.
It is relying on a broad, open consultative process that involves youth, educators, civil society, governments, business and other stakeholders. In November 2021 the commission will publish a report designed to share a forward-looking vision of what education and learning might yet become and offer a policy agenda.
A series of interim reports have already been published, including Education in a post-COVID world: Nine ideas for public action and there are a range of resources, including debate videos to drive discussion and help you shape a submission from yourself or your organisation. You can also individually take a 1 minute survey on the top three challenges and purposes of education. CLA Advisory Panel member Penny Hay, Director of Research, House of Imagination has been involved in convening focus groups and taking part in international discussions.
The deadline to respond to the UNESCO Futures of Education consultation is 31 December 2020.
STEAM news
New CREST Primary curriculum resources, including Art & Design
CREST Awards, run by the British Science Association, have launched new Primary materials aimed at supporting Primary teachers to incorporate CREST activities into their curriculum lessons. The materials include how CREST activities can support the delivery of the Art & Design curriculum in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is great to see STEAM activities being included in the BSA's work.
News of R&D grants for Festival UK*2022
Festival UK 2022 will be ten 'open, original, optimistic, large-scale and extraordinary acts of public engagement that will showcase the UK's creativity and innovation to the world' with a focus on STEAM. On 16 November the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) announced the 30 creative teams they are funding for the Festival UK Research & Development project.
DCMS report: the role of arts in improving health and wellbeing
ICYMI in September the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published an evidence review on the role of arts in improving health and wellbeing. The report looked at the evidence available on how arts engagement can impact on social outcomes, youth development and the prevention of mental and physical illness with the aim of using the research to guide policy making.
The report found that there is grade A evidence that 'can be trusted to guide policy' for:
The use of music to support infant social development
The use of book reading to support child social development
The use of music or reading for speech and language development amongst infants and children
The use of the arts to support aspects of social cohesion
The use of the arts to improve wellbeing (i.e. positive psychological factors) in adults
The use of the arts to reduce physical decline in older age
Grade B evidence that 'can be trusted to guide policy in most situations' for:
The use of the arts (other than reading) to support child social development
The use of the arts to support wellbeing in children and young people
The use of the arts to support cognition in older age
The report rated evidence on the use of the arts to improve educational attainment grade C or D and 'suggests that caution should be taken if developing policy in these areas and more work is needed'. The issue is that there has not been enough research done that that meets the requirements for research in the health sector, for example using control groups and randomised control trials. However, the evidence base for the role of the arts in improving educational attainment is currently being built, through work such as the RSA Learning About Culture randomised control trials looking at arts interventions in primary schools. We expect the RSA results in 2021.

Haven't done one of these in a while. To be fair, there's been so much crazy news out there that it's almost too intimidating to do something as light and fluffy as this. Best if I stick with the news that matters. And, occasionally, the stuff I don't remember seeing already on PW Children's Bookshelf.
First up, this probably was on PW Children's Bookshelf and I was just sleeping that day. As you might recall, my recent anthology FUNNY GIRL kicks off with some advice on how to be funny written by Delaney Yeager and her sister Mackenzie. Well the other day Delaney mentioned casually that this was not the end of her ties to Penguin Random House. Turns out, she's been a writer on the upcoming Who Was series coming to Netflix and out this January. It's based on the "Who Was" nonfiction series from Penguin and is described as "a mixture of comedy and history and will feature key leaders, innovators and creative trendsetters while placing historical figures into context for today's children." All of which I read as "Drunk History for Kids". Right-o. I'm on board with that. Sans the whole alcohol part. Of course, y'all should have hired Nathan Hale on your writing staff, though (y'hear me, Kalan?). Dude's been doing this stuff for years.
Remember the last American Library Conference here in Chicago? Times were simpler then. We were all so much younger. It was at least a good (checks watch) two months ago or so. For those of you unable to attend but find yourselves often wondering, "Was there ever an audio file for that panel moderated by Sharyn November featuring Andrea Beaty, Erica Perl, Betsy Bird, Cece Bell, and Rita Williams-Garcia about women and humor?" the answer is yes and you can find it here.
Can I tell you how pleased I am that Julie Danielson chose to highlight my favorite board book of the year? So pleased. So very very pleased.
EVERYONE. Though preferably with shirts, of course. And shoes.
"I'm pretty sure I was the least productive Sendak Fellow." That's a good line. As you may know, every year a small group of artists are offered the chance to stay for a month in Maurice Sendak's home in upstate New York. The whole idea is to help them with their work. But, as Elisha Cooper put it, "I didn't." Find out why here.
West Chicago Public Library board was tonight! They voted to retain "This Day in June" a children's book about a Pride Parade and kept it in the children's area. One of the board members said "You have a right to censor your children from these books. You don't have the right to censor other people's children from these books.
Lithub, I salute you and thank you dearly. I've never saw as beautiful an encapsulation of the history of the board book as physical object as I did with your recent piece The History of the Bendable, Durable, Chewable Board Book. And, of course, as a result of reading it I'm now hugely curious about the "macabre King Gobble's Feast". Well done, Olivia Campbell.
Sandra Boynton won Twitter the other day. Or did you miss that?

Through the introduction of a new event hosted for Paly parents and students, the Paly Sources of Strength organization is ambitious to bring to light an integral element of recognizing the importance of mental health: the relationships between students and their parents and/or guardians.
Sources of Strength's Paly Parent Night on Feb. 28 took place at the Media Arts Center on campus. The purpose of Parent Night is for Sources of Strength peer leaders, the organization's members, to share their stories and spur the needed conversations between parent and child, according to Mostaghimi.
Sources of Strength peer leaders organize and run the event, according to Mostaghimi.
At the end of the night, both parties should have gained new perspectives on the challenges that arise in student's lives and the involvement of health in these aspects of a student's life.
Senior Noor Navaid, another Sources of Strength steering committee member, said Parent Night is an important event that allows parents to offer new ideas that students may not typically consider.
In a setting where one can be vulnerable and comfortable sharing their personal experiences, both Navaid and Mostaghimi say that individual growth should be the main take-away of the night.

The world heritage listed site of Shark Bay in WA provided the most vivid, mind-bending colours and textures that I have had the pleasure to point my camera at in my 20 years as a photographer.
The geology and history of how these amazing scenes have formed over time is super interesting (will let you look that up if you are like) But this blog / set of images are all about the visuals, visuals that I am still trying to comprehend a few weeks after the event.
I was lucky enough to get up in a small plane and circle around some of the key spots in the Shark Bay area.
It's such a unique environment where the red cliffs kiss up against the calm, turquoise waters, while the sand, sea and dirt gets constantly shaped by the Wild West Oz winds. It provides some breath taking scenes especially if you are up 3000 feet in the sky.
My pilot was on point, tilting the plane on its side as the light came perfectly over the scenes below… looking through the viewfinder as a plane goes sideways does make you a little giddy, but that uneasy feeling was quickly over ridden by the sheer brilliance of what was below.
I hope you enjoy this series of pictures. It has been a long time dream to achieve some aerials like this and the experience will be with me forever more.
Other than the aerial aspect, there is also abundant wildlife in Shark Bay; we kayaked with reef sharks, rays and turtles. We spotted Dugongs feeding on seagrasses from the cliffs, found our first Thorny Devil lizard and spent hours at the famous Shell beach. Shark Bay goes into our top 3 places in Australia.

At Paradise Valley Par3 Golf Course join friends for a few hours in the sun on the starting tee for a "fun for everyone" golf tournament and barbecue. A round at Paradise Valley can be completed in a few hours, which goes a long way toward addressing one of the many issues that face today's golfers - the time required to play a traditional 18-hole round. And these holes are no easy pitch-and-putts: elevation changes, gnarly greenside rough, and creekside greens make it challenging as well as fun. Think of Paradise Valley as a championship golf course in a par-3 setting. It allows more seasoned players the opportunity to really concentrate on hitting irons and putting, and yet makes an excellent training ground for beginners. The shorter holes take long-distance shots immediately out of focus and force you to build accuracy and consistently work on your aim. Paradise Valley is a privately owned and operated 18-hole golf course that offers Fun, affordable golf for everyone. With stunning creekside and coulee views, an afternoon at the golf course feels more like a relaxing walk in the park,enjoying nature without leaving the city limits.


It should come as no surprise, then, that St. Thomas Aquinas taught that the effect of the sacrament of confirmation on the spiritual plane of life corresponds to this same law of growth we see in operation on the physical plane. Confirmation, through the infusion of the fullness of the life of the Holy Spirit, further energizes the seed of faith planted in baptism to grow into that fullness of communion with Christ for which we were made. And like the seed of a plant, this growth also takes place out of our sight and control.
While the physical seed of the plant and the spiritual seed of faith grow on their own, action is still required. In the case of the former, the seed must be sown. This is an intentional act on the part of the farmer. Then, the farmer must nurture, protect and water the plant as it grows. For the latter, we must say "yes" to the sacrament of confirmation. We must choose to receive the gift of the fullness of the Holy Spirit into our lives so that the seed of faith planted in our baptism might mature. Then, we must nurture, protect and nourish the life of the Spirit as it grows within us.
While we cannot coerce the life of faith to grow, there are certainly attitudes that can negatively impact its ability to grow. For example, it has been said that confirmation is a sacrament in search of a theology. This attitude diminishes the significance of the sacrament, making it possible for some to question the necessity of the sacrament altogether.
Then, there are those who are on fire with the faith at the time of their confirmation (we see this especially with those entering the Church through the RCIA process). In their zealousness to grow in holiness and communion with Christ, they can sometimes attempt to hasten their development through some exertion of their own. This violation of the law of growth, of course, can lead to impatience, to anxiety over results, and possibly to the giving up of hope altogether that the seed that was infused with strength at confirmation will ever germinate. How many times do we see those who enter into communion with the Church fall away again?
The crucial point is that the life of faith that is planted at baptism, strengthened at confirmation, restored to health in reconciliation, and nourished by the Eucharist is fragile. Its growth can be stunted and even destroyed by our indifference and mortal sin.
Christ instituted the sacrament of confirmation through his sending of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles at Pentecost. Through this sacrament, we receive an increase in that grace we received at baptism that enables us to live in holiness as a daughter or son of God. Like all the sacraments, confirmation is a gift to us by Christ out of love so that we may have life to the full.
In the first centuries of Christianity, confirmation and baptism were celebrated together. However, as infant baptisms became more common and numerous and the dioceses grew (both in size and number of parishes), the bishops were often unable to be present at every baptismal celebration.
Sacramentally, an adult is someone who is 7 years old or older, as this is considered the age of reason. So when an adult fully enters the Church at the Easter Vigil celebrated by the bishop, they are baptized, if they haven't already been baptized, confirmed and receive their first Eucharist (in that order) at the same Mass.
Now, as modern transportation has made travel easier for bishops, some dioceses have adopted the model of the Easter Vigil Mass for those baptized before reaching the age of reason. These dioceses celebrate confirmation and first Eucharist at the same Mass. In addition, they have "restored the order" of the sacraments of initiation by conferring confirmation before the reception of first Eucharist, as is done at the Easter Vigil.

Raiders Bets On Nevada Sports Books Despite Move to Vegas
Katie Barlowe Read More
Tony Alamo, Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said he would have "total comfort" on allowing betting on any teams, irrespective of where they were based. (Martin S Fuentes/LVRJ)
Bettors will still be able to have their money on the Raiders at Nevada's sports books if the team makes a proposed move to Las Vegas, even if the NFL requests otherwise.
That's according to Chairman of the Gaming Control Commission, Tony Alamo, who gave his unofficial verdict on the matter to the Las Vegas Review-Journal this week.
The Raiders' lease is up in Oakland, and while owner Mark Davis has been able to secure a temporary extension, his team is in need of a permanent home. And a $1.4 billion, 65,000-seat domed stadium on a 42-acre plot north of McCarran International airport, proposed by LVS and partners, could be the answer.
Davis is enthusiastic about the move but it's up to the NFL voters to decide, and that will require the backing of two thirds, or 24, of the NFL's 32 owners. The Raiders are expected to apply for relocation in January.
Gaming Integrity "Above Reproach"
"I can't speak for the commission, but growing up in the gaming industry and trusting the integrity of the gaming industry, I have total comfort in allowing sports betting on any teams whether they are here in Nevada… in Las Vegas, Reno or otherwise… or in other locations," Alamo said.
"The fact that the Raiders come from Oakland to Las Vegas doesn't move my needle in any direction in terms of should we allow that to be on a sports book board or not. Nothing changed for me … The integrity of gaming is so above reproach that it doesn't matter if the team is 100 yards away or 400 miles away. What changed? Nothing."
The NFL has long been against sports betting, seeing it as a threat to the integrity of the sport. There are signs, though, that attitudes may be thawing, with respect to the proposed Raiders move in particular.
Reservations Linger
Several NFL owners have expressed their support for Vegas as the team's new home, including Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots.
"We're just living in a different world, technology-wise," he said recently. "The [sports betting] risks in Vegas are no longer exclusive to Vegas."
But NFL Chairman Roger Goodell still has reservations. At a recent NFL owners meeting in Houston, he told the press that the organization was "still very much opposed" to legalized gambling on sports and that it "still has an impact on the integrity of our game."
The NFL's Regulation 22 allows it to request the prohibition of bets on games held in Nevada, provided the governing body writes to the Control Board within 30 days before the game.

TOURNIQUET Drummer Pays Tribute To JEFF HANNEMAN
Ted Kirkpatrick of Christian metallers TOURNIQUET has paid tribute to SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who died at about 11 a.m. today (Thursday, May 2) near his Southern California home. He was 49. Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure.
Says Kirkpatrick: "I was very sorry to hear that SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman passed away today. He wrote and performed some killer tunes for sure — and for my brief interaction with him — he was really cool."
"Soon after I moved to L.A. in 1986, I got a phone call from [producer] Rick Rubin. He asked if I was interested in auditioning for SLAYER. Their excellent drummer Dave Lombardo was out of the band and they needed a drummer. I had dropped off a drumming demo video at Metal Blade and a cool guy named Bill (not Bill Metoyer, but he's cool too) who used to work there gave my video to Rick. The SLAYER guys checked it out and I guess they liked it OK. So Rick gave me the songs to learn — 'Criminally Insane', 'Raining Blood', 'Postmortem', 'Epidemic', 'At Dawn They Sleep', and, of course, 'Angel Of Death'. So I got to work learning the tunes and went to SIR studios in West Hollywood for the audition. When I walked into the huge rehearsal room — I was a little surprised to see them... playing basketball. So we shot a few hoops together. They were all very nice and I remember Jeff was quite polite.
"I got on the stage and saw Dave's drums still set up there. I had, of course, brought (my own). Tom [Araya, SLAYER bassist/vocalist] said I could just play on Dave's kit. I told them I had one problem — I'm left-handed. So they said just switch everything around however I wanted, which I did. They asked what song I wanted to start with. I said, 'How about 'Criminally Insane'?' So away we went — and man, was it loud. They were super tight and it sounded like a 1000 times louder version of listening to the record on my stereo. When we finished 'At Dawn They Sleep', they said I was the only one who got it right. It does have a few trippy time signature parts.
"The next week I got a call to return for a second audition. We did the same tunes — but this time when we finished playing 'Angel Of Death', Tom said, 'Hey, Ted, do you think you can play it again? I said Ah... OK. You drummers know this song is a little exhausting. So we played it twice — it ruled.
"Anyways, later on they worked things out with Dave Lombardo so he returned to the band.
"Well, this is just my little tribute to one of the thrash metal greats.
"RIP Jeff."

Welcome to Greeneville City Schools' Coordinated School Health!
Coordinated School Health is an effective approach designed to connect health (physical, emotional and social) with learning. CSH improves children's health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities and the schools working together. Greeneville City Schools' CSH encourages healthy lifestyles, provides needed supports to at-risk students and helps to reduce the prevalence of health problems that impair academic success.
Health education is a planned, sequential, pre K-12 curriculum and program that addresses the physical, mental and emotional, and social dimensions of health. The activities of the curriculum and program are integrated into the daily life of the students and designed to motivate and assist students to maintain and improve their health, prevent disease and reduce health-related risk behaviors. It allows students to develop and demonstrate increasingly sophisticated health-related knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices. The curriculum and program include a variety of topics such as personal health, family health, community health, consumer health, environmental health, family living, mental and emotional health, injury prevention and safety, CPR, nutrition, prevention and control of disease and substance use and abuse. Qualified professionals such as health educators, teachers, school counselors, school health nurses, registered dietitians, and community health care professionals provide health education.
Physical education is a planned, sequential pre-k -12 curriculum program that follows national standards in providing developmentally appropriate, cognitive content and learning experiences in a variety of physical activity areas such as basic movement skills; physical fitness; rhythm and dance; cooperative games; team, dual, and individual sports; tumbling and gymnastics; and aquatics. Quality physical education promotes, through a variety of planned individual and cooperative physical activities and fitness assessments, each student's optimum physical, mental, emotional and social development; and provides fitness activities and sports that all students, including students with special needs, can enjoy and pursue throughout their lives. Qualified professionals such as physical education teachers and physical activity specialists provide physical education and related fitness activities.
Healthy school environment concerns the quality of the physical and aesthetic surroundings; the psychosocial climate, safety, and culture of the school; the school safety and emergency plans; and the periodic review and testing of the factors and conditions that influence the environment. Factors and conditions that influence the quality of the physical environment include the school building and the area surrounding it; transportation services; any biological or chemical agents inside and outside the school facilities that are detrimental to health; and physical conditions such as temperature, noise, lighting, air quality and potential health and safety hazards. The quality of the psychological environment includes the physical, emotional and social conditions that affect the safety and well being of students and staff. Qualified staff such as facilities and transportation supervisors, principals, school and community counselors, social workers, psychologists, school health nurses, health educators, and school safety officers assess and plan for these factors and conditions in the school environment.
Counseling, mental health, and social services are provided to assess and improve the mental, emotional, and social health of every student. All students receive these services, including developmental classroom guidance activities and preventative educational programs, in an effort to enhance and promote academic, personal, and social growth. Students who may have special needs are served through the administration and interpretation of psychometric and psychoeducational tests, observational assessments, individual and group counseling sessions, crisis intervention for emergency mental health needs, family/home consultation, and/or referrals to outside community-based agencies when appropriate. The professional skills of counselors, psychologists, and social workers, along with school health nurses, are utilized to provide coordinated "wrap around" services that contribute to the mental, emotional, and social health of students, their families and the school environment. Qualified professionals such as school and community counselors, school and community psychologists, school health nurses, social workers, and qualified staff from community agencies provide these services.
Involvement of students, parents, community representatives, health specialists, and volunteers in schools provides an integrated approach for enhancing the health and well being of students both at school and in the community. School health advisory councils, coalitions, and broadly-based constituencies for school health can build support for school health programs. School administrators, teachers, and school health staff in all components actively solicit family involvement and engage community resources, expertise, and services to respond effectively to the health-related needs of students and families. Qualified professionals such as principals, teachers, and school health staff, along with students, parents and volunteers, provide leadership in this area.
Wellness opportunities such as health assessments, health education and physical fitness activities are provided to all school staff, including the administrators, teachers and support personnel, to improve their health status. These opportunities encourage staff to pursue a healthy lifestyle that contributes to their improved health status, improved morale, and greater personal commitment to the overall coordinated school health program. This personal commitment often transfers into greater commitment to the health of students and serving as positive role models. Health promotion activities conducted on-site improve productivity, decrease absenteeism, and reduce health insurance costs. Qualified professionals such as principals, supervisors, health educators, school health nurses and school personnel/human resources directors provide leadership in this area.


Bringing the big-gun experience to the rimfire world, the Ruger Precision Rimfire is a scaled down version of the Ruger Precision Rifle and maintains the same ergonomics, trigger and manual of arms as the larger centerfire rifle. The Ruger Precision Rimfire is the ideal long-range shooting trainer and go-to rifle for your next rimfire match.
The Ruger Precision Rimfire features a moulded, one-piece chassis and adjustable buttstock assembly manufactured from glass-filled nylon for strength, stiffness and stability, offering a solid foundation for accuracy each and every shot. The innovative Quick-Fit adjustable Precision Rimfire stock allows the rifle's length of pull and comb height to be quickly and easily adjusted for proper fit over a wide range of shooter sizes, outerwear and shooting positions. Indicating marks molded into the chassis help you quickly return to a previous position.
To make the 22LR chambering feel more like 6.5 Creedmoor, Ruger engineers designed the Big-Gun adjustable bolt throw technology. By simply removing a spring clip, shooters can change from a rimfire 1-1/2" bolt throw to a short-action centerfire 3" bolt throw, reducing the chance of short-stroking the bolt in competition. Identical to the Ruger Precision Rifle, the oversized bolt handle makes for positive bolt manipulation.
The rifle's 18" target barrel is cold hammer-forged from 4140 alloy steel to create ultra-precise rifling for excellent accuracy. The 1/2"-28 thread pattern allows for easy pairing with the (Silent-SR suppressor not legal in AUS) or other muzzle devices. The 15" hard black anodized aluminium, free-float handguard features Magpul M-LOK slots on all four sides for improved scope clearance and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories.
The popular Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger has a pull weight range of 2.25 to 5.0 pounds; the adjusting wrench is conveniently stored in a buttstock compartment on the rifle. Ruger's own AR-pattern pistol grip and safety selector allow for maximum control and access to the 45 degree, reversible safety selector.
For increased long-range elevation capabilities, the rifle is topped with a 30 MOA Picatinny scope base.
The Precision Rimfire ships with one, 15-round BX-15 magazine.
Overall Length: 35.13" - 38.63"
Length of Pull: 12" - 15.50"


Last week, the Season 4 trailer for Below Deck Mediterranean was released. It looks like Bravo is again throwing in a casting curve-ball. And while it may be unexpected, it's certainly the logical next step for mixing up the typical gender roles onboard.
First, it was the surprise of a female deck hand. Then Captain Sandy Yawn took the helm in Season 2 of the Mediterranean spinoff. Josiah Carter killed it as the very qualified and fabulous Second Stew last season on the original series, Below Deck. He was the first male to serve with the interior crew.

iPhone 8 hype made Foxconn the unlikely winner of the smartphone wars
Updated: Feb 20, 2017, 7:38 AM
Kaloyan C.
It's no secret that the next iPhone will be a major shakeup for Apple's smartphone line – we've been consistently hearing rumors about its screen, fingerprint sensor, wireless charging, and so on. Following the relative unpopularity of the iPhone 7, consumers are waiting for something new from the company, which is seemingly eager to deliver. While this is a somewhat interesting story on its own, there's another angle to it that's been underreported – the iPhone 8 isn't just popular, but it's also a moneymaker, at least as far as Foxconn is concerned.
Foxconn, for those not in the know, is the main assembler of iPhones, meaning if you own one, chances are it's gone through one of their workers' hands. Also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the company has been building iPhones ever since the first one came out, and has grown substantially as a result. Its latest financials, however, show a staggering 29% year-over-year increase in share price, and most of it seems to be courtesy of iPhone 8 hype, according to a Bloomberg report.
But you'd be forgiven for not knowing the company is far from just an iPhone manufacturing facility – its clients list right now includes Huawei, Xiaomi, Sony, HP, and many more, and it's constantly growing bigger. The company is set to open a US display factory in the near future, along with another one in Shenzhen, China. It also recently acquired Sharp Corp., the struggling Japanese electronics maker, and tripled its value practically overnight. And really, most of it is thanks to the iPhone – Apple devices account for half the company's revenue, and following Apple's last quarterly earnings report, Foxconn's shares have skyrocketed.
In the immediate future, net income for the company could fall by as much as 13 percent, but estimates of the iPhone 8's success show that figure could easily rebound near its current value. In the long term, PC and mobile markets are slowing down, which could prove to be problematic for Foxconn, but recent investments in VR and artificial intelligence could prove to be successful new ventures for the manufacturer. Robotics are also an unexplored frontier, which the company appears interested in, following its stated desire to fully automate its factories.


Ambiente Blog • A home to your taste.
There are no limits to the imagination you can use in interior design. You might like striking colours on the walls, luxurious feature wallpapers, furniture as an artistic arrangement, or just minimal, clean lines. In 2017, the focus is on teasing out the special features of every room. And there's one aspect you should never overlook: flowers and plants. Not only are they attractive, but they also impact immediately on our psyche. We dissect the four main trends – Energise, Harmonise, Rebel and Equalise.
They say our homes reflect our personalities. Interior designers have known this for some time. The colours used are just as important as the combination of furniture and accessories. A clever mix of materials is key: organic sits side by side with artificial. This will give your home something special, and stimulate the senses. Plants in particular are an excellent complement to any interior, whether you go for minimal greenery or opulent and colourful foliage.
The key is in the name of this trend: stimulating shapes and colours transform your living space into a motivational oasis which nourishes you with new energy and joie de vivre. This is a perfect blend of luxurious private spa and exercise area. A targeted play of contrasts stimulates the spirit. Generous areas of colour meet havens of peace; graphic elements and grid structures are broken up by playful elements and rounded edges. The materials used are as varied as they are practical. Metal, plastic, shiny ceramics, fine marble and functional materials all form part of this trend. Geometric shapes and patterns like circles, spots and dashes provide a point of interest. Honeycomb structures and 3D effects underscore the idea of space in constant motion. In between these, the deep green of exotic plant leaves provides a real power boost. Tropical bananas are at home here, as are perennial fern arums and refreshing plants such as peace lilies and bowstring hemp. Cut flowers also have their place, bringing graceful petals and intense colour hits: think tulips, glory lilies and sunflowers. For a small harvest from your windowsill, try tasty fruits, especially berries.
In an increasingly chaotic world, our need for authenticity and security has grown. This is often accompanied by a fascination with and focus on nature. That's where the Harmonise trend finds its inspiration: its interiors are verdant, vivacious and alive with the healing power of nature. It's a trend that digs out stone, semi-precious stones and wood to work with. These combine with other organic materials like paper, enamel, reeds and leather to create a contrasting yet harmonious whole. There's no use looking for straight lines here – there are none. The furniture and decor are irregular or asymmetrical, as if they'd simply grown that way.
Glass bottles and other transparent containers offer an opportunity to grow biotopes. These small gardens and ecosystems showcase plant growth and strengthen our ties to the natural world. This is also a trend that sparks the senses with fragrance and colour. At its heart lie fine, fresh flowers and plants which radiate rural charm: ranunculus, hyacinths, clerodendrum and ceropegia all stand for peace and relaxation. Seductive scents from jasmine, Amazon lily and freesia provide inspiration and sensory stimulus. Dried flowers are also experiencing a revival.
The Rebel trend is abstract, crazy and playful – a brightly-coloured movement to resist all that's dull and routine. While we circle our everyday lives with 'to do' lists, commuting back and forth, we needn't constrain our homes that way. Intense pinks, oranges and yellows combine with an abstract mix of patterns and a wide variety of plants and flowers in a rebel alliance against design conventions and for a fun alternative. Unfinished and natural materials bounce off plastics and synthetics. This trend makes unexpected alliances of curves, zigzags, botanic prints and real floral elements to elicit a unique interior. The cheekier and wilder the mixture, the better. There's no right or wrong way to do this: anything goes.
The flowers and flowering plants should stand out as much as, if not more than, the interior itself. Varied leaf structures and brightly coloured petals introduce a light-hearted element to the exuberant mix. In terms of larger house plants, something like the Benjamin tree can be the focal point of an indoor jungle when combined with other plants such as kalanchoe or cyclamen. Or you could big up the botanical atmosphere with miniature plant varieties with their own distinctive look such as small cacti, echeveria and tillandsia. Chrysanthemums, delphiniums, lilacs and gerbera in various colours can take a bright interior concept to the next spectacular level.
The Equalise trend will emancipate your interior with a harmonious combination of contrasts. Materials may vary: these unusual combinations create a balanced space. Decorative, flower-print and other patterned wallpapers are teamed with minimalist, graphic designs; matte and shiny surfaces are often found on the same object. When choosing shapes for this trend, an interplay of soft and hard is key.
The contrasts are also reflected in the colours. Bold, clear elements are kept in romantic violet, rose or pink. Rounded, elegant items are often a simple grey, blue or black, or combined with metallic tones. This mix of masculine and feminine continues with the plants. Hardy plants such as calatheas and Portulacaria afra rub shoulders with delicate, decorative arrangements of flowers such as bromeliads and chrysanthemums. This makes for welcoming rooms that are neither too sober nor too effusive.

Stars Send Sawada to St. Johns, Pick Up Two Players in Return
The Dallas Stars have reassigned winger Ray Sawada to the AHL's St. John's IceCaps. Sawada, who has missed much of the season with two separate injuries, was slated to play his first game in over January 13th. Technically, Dallas still owns the rights to Sawada in the NHL. There is a possibility that Dallas feels that his development would be better served in St. Johns. Alternately, Dallas could feel that the return they got (two players) was better than having Sawada for the last 21 games of the season.
Those returns are two players from St. Johns. The first, Michael Forney, is in a similar situation to Sawada: his contract is still owned by Winnipeg and expires after this season. He has played most of the season in the ECHL with Colorado, where he racked up 16-26-42 in 49 games. The second, Shawn Weller, was traded in a technically separate transaction between the AHL clubs. Weller is 10-14-24 in 41 games with St. John's. He was traded for future considerations.
None of the three players will be active in tonight's action.


Angela Merkel is the winner of the German parliamentary elections, but the result is rather disappointing for the CDU party as it only took 33% of the vote. This was the CDU's worst result since 1949. Social Democrats failed to take more than 21% of the vote. The ultra-right-wing AfD came third and fears of populism from Germany's past were revived. Merkel will begin negotiations with smaller parties to form a coalition government, with the chance for a second round of elections still present. Investors and traders sold the Euro as the outcome made Merkel weaker and German voters expressed their frustration on immigration policies.
The Pound took advantage of the Euro's fall, regaining some ground after Friday's drop. On Friday, Moody's had downgraded the UK's credit rating citing fears that Brexit would jeopardise Britain's medium-term economic strength. Brexit negotiations with the European Union (EU) restart today, with the chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier waiting to hear more details about the plans that Theresa May revealed in her Florence speech.
Today, the Pound strengthened against the US Dollar with the exchange rate set at $1.35. Sterling performed very well against the Euro with the exchange rate set at £1.13. The British currency shows its resilience, despite the political and economic uncertainty that makes the UK economy suffer.
The fourth round of negotiations between the EU and British officials is set to start today. Theresa May's speech in Florence revealed that the British government will honour its financial obligations in exchange for a two-year transitional period post-Brexit. May didn't go in details, but media sources suggest that the sum of money offered is close to £20bn. The French President Emmanuel Macron said that the EU wants to clarify the issues of the EU citizen rights, the issue of Irish borders and the financial terms of Brexit, before it proceeds with further negotiations.
The BoE published its quarterly Financial Policy Committee (FPC) report, which noted that new bank capital requirements are likely to be introduced, after stress tests in November. The report urges banks to set aside £10bn more in order to be ready to cover potential losses from credit cards and car loans. The FPC thinks that lenders are underestimating the losses they could suffer in the event of an economic downturn, such as Britain falling into recession.
The US Dollar inched higher against the Euro with the exchange rate set at €0.84. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the Dollar against six major competitor currencies, moved higher at 92.36. The currency's value increased on news regarding the German elections and because of a quiet weekend on the Korean peninsula.
According to a report by Washington Post, the GOP leaders are examining proposals to slash the corporate tax from 35% to 20%. The report continues, saying that they are also thinking about reducing the top individual income tax rate from 39.6% to 35%. The new tax breaks, if applied, will help upper income US citizens and corporations, in a move that will surely provoke a reaction from the Democrats.
Six top Republican and administration officials are working on the tax framework, among them the House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. President Trump is expected to deliver a speech in Indiana on Wednesday, during which he will unveil some details of the tax reform. 95% of the Democrat senators have signed a letter in which they say that they won't support any reform that adds to the deficit or offers tax breaks to the richest people.
The Euro edged lower against the US Dollar with the exchange rate set at $1.19. The reason for the single market currency's fall was the result of the German parliamentary elections, in which Angela Merkel and the Christian Democrats (CDU) got the first place, but not the necessary number of MPs to form a government on their own.
The CDU got 33% of the vote, while the Social Democrats (SPD) led by the ex-president of the European Parliament (EP) Martin Schulz secured 21% of the vote. The surprise came from the AfD ultra right-wing party which became the third largest national party, entering the Bundestag for the first time after being founded in 2013. Angela Merkel acknowledged that the result for the CDU wasn't as good as was anticipated and vowed to listen to the concerns of AfD voters to win them back.
The AfD leader Alexander Gauland, who is a figure that will attract media attention in the coming days, said that Merkel's actions on the immigration issue should be examined carefully, adding that the AfD will help Germans take their country back in their own hands. In other news, the German IFO business sentiment index recorded an unexpected drop in September. Economists believe that the result indicates a minor decline in GDP growth pace in the third quarter of 2017.
Sterling strengthened against the Australian Dollar, trading at 1.69 AUD. There are no significant domestic data releases this week, which means that the exchange rate might be affected by external factors. According to a report by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), the next year's gas supply shortfall in the eastern states could be higher than expected. Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull is expected to limit gas exports in the next days in order to limit the deficit.
The Pound jumped against the New Zealand Dollar, trading at 1.85 NZD. The National Party led by the prime minister Bill English is the winner of the parliamentary election. However, he needs the help of one more political party to form a coalition government. NZ First under Winston Peters will probably assume the role of the "kingmaker", as political analysts believe that a National Party-NZ First coalition government is the most likely outcome of the negotiations.
Sterling edged up against the Swiss Franc, trading at 1.31 CHF. On Sunday, Swiss citizens voted against proposals made by the government meant to reform the state pension system. The reforms included a rise in the women's retirement age from 64 to 65 and an increase in pensions.


I found this midi on the net, in real bad shape (recording delay problem with the melody, I have had that issue too), and tried my best to restore this great tune.
if I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs.
when I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain.
getting lost in her loving is your first mistake.
when I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again.
she's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean.
when I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain.
when I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again…..

Ben Roethlisberger: 'I'm still one of the best QBs in NFL'
Ben Roethlisberger threw five interceptions in their 30-9 loss to Jaguars -- [Image by Andy/WikiCommons]
Despite his struggles, Roethlisberger said he won't hit the panic button as of now.
Despite his struggles this season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger still believes that he's still one of the best signal callers to ever play in the NFL. According to Timothy Rapp of Bleacher Report, quoting tweets by Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL.com, Roethlisberger maintained during his radio show that he hasn't lost his confidence, one day after saying that "maybe I don't have it anymore" following a five-interception performance in their 30-9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. In a separate tweet, Kinkhabwala said Roethlisberger even called himself a "gunfighter" and a "cowboy" and that he will bounce back in their next game against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs.
In five games this season, Roethlisberger has completed 61.5 percent of his throws for 1,269 yards, six touchdowns, and seven interceptions. On his radio program, Roethlisberger also addressed reports about his retirement, saying he's not thinking about hanging up his cleats as of now and is focused on the season. Last season, the Steelers placed seventh in yards per game and 10th in terms of points per outing. This season, the Steelers have dropped to 17th in yards per outing and 15th in terms of points.
Coach backs Roethlisberger
Asked about Roethlisberger's post-game comments, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said his quarterback was just telling the truth about how he felt after their bitter loss to the Jaguars. Tomlin said Roethlisberger is an emotional guy whose confidence level is taking a hit right now with his on-field struggles.
According to Tomlin, when he saw Roethlisberger on Monday, he looked like a guy determined to bounce back from his disappointing performance. Tomlin added that he's not planning any change at quarterback despite Roethlisberger's poor performance. "Here we sit today and he's our quarterback. So write what you will," said Tomlin, per NFL.com.
Jaguars players: Roethlisberger looked tired, old
Some members of the Jaguars noticed that Roethlisberger looked tired and old during their Sunday's showdown. Jaguars safety Barry Church, who tallied one pick-six against the Steelers, told Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Roethlisberger appeared "flustered." Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson, for his part, said Roethlisberger looked old and tired.
The 3-2 Steelers are hoping that Roethlisberger can regain his form when they take on the Chiefs Sunday.

It Lives!
Big Ten football rises from the grave like that Undertaker meme everyone likes (you know the one)
By Coleman Bentley
It's election season here in America—a time of waffling, wavering, and, of course, flipping and flopping. A four-year zenith of vagaries and generalizations, hedged bets and reneged promises. It's that time of the year when everything costs more than face value and nothing comes served without a grain of salt. And we're not even talking about politics. We're talking about Big Ten football,
Over a month after the Big Ten cancelled fall football a week after they announced fall football, fall football is reportedly back on the menu for the Rust Belt Ivy League Belt (and Rutgers, which is rusty enough). On Tuesday night, hours after Nebraska president Ted Carter was caught on a hot mic all but confirming a return to play plan, conference leaders gathered for a vote. If reports are to be believed (remember that grain of salt thing), it was a slam dunk:
RELATED: Georgia bans tailgating, allows "gatherings in lots," someone please explain
We now go live to Big Ten HQ, where press conference rehearsals are well underway.
All joking aside, the Big Ten couldn't have got this more wrong. According to reports, the success of rapid testing in the NFL, which the Big Ten will adopt, played a big role in the reversal, but the other reasons aren't nearly as logical. Fan pressure, political pressure, $100 bills raining from the gray October skies. Even the idea that college football has begun successfully in other places, paving the way for the Big Ten, is almost completely wrong. Texas Tech has recorded over 75 positive COVID-19 cases amongst their football team and staff. Coach O admitted that "most of" the LSU players have already caught it. There's been scheduling shuffling, uneven protocols, and pretty uncompelling on-the-field product. If this is what was giving the Big Ten FOMO, maybe they should have stuck to their guns.
RELATED: This punt from the Citadel is already the play of the year, possibly the century
From a fan's perspective, however, this is a gimme. We will 1000% take more college football, even if late October is a stretch. Give us Beth Mowins calling Purdue-Indiana with the West-Lafayette leaves ablaze. Give us the first snow game of the season. Give us a swirlie in the Old Oaken Bucket and, most of all, give Nebraska a reason to stop f—king whining. That alone will be worth it.

Chiefs Fortune is an online video slot machine game released in November 1999 and it is offered exclusively at online casinos powered by Microgaming. This online video slot game has 3 reels and 1 pay line. The theme of Chiefs Fortune is inspired by the traditional rituals performed by Native American Indians such as the rain dance.
In the later days of August when the land is very dry, Native American tribes in the Southwestern United States perform a rain dance. Up to this day, this ritual is still performed by men and women who wore special clothing and headdresses. Goat hair was put in the headdresses and any object having a blue color (signifies the wind and rain) such as turquoise is put in their clothes. Every year, these special clothes were worn for the rain dance. You will get to meet the Indian Chief who will invite you to join their rain dance. Experience wearing traditional Indian headdress and clothes, and you even learn how to shoot an Indian arrow onto a wooden target block in the Chiefs Fortune online slot game!
Microgaming online slot games are available to players in 2 formats – download and no-download. Whether you like to download their software first or you prefer to play instantly without the need to download, then Microgaming surely has online slot machine games to accommodate your every slot gaming preference. Good thing that Chiefs Fortune is available for instant play, so you do not have to download anything to find out if this game interests you in a way that you would like to spend some real money on it.
Chiefs Fortune is created for players who are fascinated with the rich culture and traditions of the Native American Indians as well as the desire to play and win a nice amount of cash while playing a simple online slots game with a few non-complex features. The Chiefs Fortune online video slot game features a Wild symbol, a Chiefs Fortune Bonus Feature game where you can win up to 600 credits, a maximum coin jackpot of 2,000, and a maximum cash jackpot of $2,000!
The quality of the graphics and sound that Microgaming provides is absolutely fantastic and top notch. They have an impeccable reputation of making the most stunning graphics and true-to-life sound effects that will truly transport you to "that specific theme" they used in any of their slot games. Most people love to play games incorporated with Microgaming software because they have smooth animation and engaging yet non-interfering sounds. Since it is essentially a no-frills type of slot game, Chiefs Fortune has been designed to have a simple classic slot game with matching sound effects. The casing of the reels includes the reels, buttons and the paytable. The overall graphic design of Chiefs Fortune shows a tribe of Native American Indians gathered up to give thanks to Mother Nature for the wonderful things they have been given for the season, and to simply ask Mother Nature to give them rain in order to help them with the drought season (by performing a rain dance). Various colors used in the slot game include blue, green, purple, red, orange, yellow, black and white.
The constant background music you will hear in this game resembles the music from customary Native American Indians' celebratory dances, accompanied by hooting sounds and merry cries of its dancers. Whenever you spin the reels and get winning combinations, simple sounds common in land-based slot machine games will be heard. When you get the Arrow symbol, you will hear the sound effect of an arrow shot in the air and twanged when it landed on the wooden target.
There are no card deck symbols available in the Chiefs Fortune online video slot game. The regular symbols that you will find in Chiefs Fortune are the 3-Bar, 3-Bar, 1-Bar, Red Seven, and the Chiefs Fortune Logo.
The Wild Symbol is the Chief himself. It acts as a substitute for all other symbols (except for the scatter symbol) in order to help you complete a winning combination.
The Scatter Symbol is the Magic Arrow. The Magic Arrow scatter symbol only comes out on the 3rd reel. The Magic Arrow symbol can be found just below the reels, at a wooden target tree trunk. If you wager the max bet of 3 coins and you managed to collect 5 Magic Arrows, you will activate the Chief Fortune Bonus Feature game.
Please take note that the Magic Arrow scatter symbol will not give out any winnings; however, it lets you enter and play the Chiefs Fortune Bonus Feature game.
Chiefs Fortune Bonus Feature Game – The Magic Arrow scatter symbol is only available on the 3rd reel.
If you bet 1 or 2 coins only and the Magic Arrow scatter symbol appears on the pay line, you are not rewarded a Magic Arrow which is required to unlock the Chiefs Fortune Bonus Feature game.
If you bet 3 coins and the Magic Arrow scatter symbol appears on the pay line, 1 Magic Arrow is shot into the wooden target board. When you have collected 5 Magic Arrow symbols, the Chiefs Fortune Bonus Feature game is activated.
When you get a Magic Arrow, it is kept until you have collected 5 Magic Arrows that is required to enter and play the Chiefs Fortune Bonus Feature game. Even if you exit the Chiefs Fortune online slot game, you will not lose the Magic Arrows you have collected before.

Oh the rain's good. We haven't had a lot of rain this year, and the fruit's sort of small. And every time it rains, the fruit gets a little bigger and that's what we need.
I think a lot of folks have withheld judgment because they recognize the source of these attacks, that is the state Democratic Party. People in Montana, I think, have been withholding judgment until they hear from Conrad directly.
Montana is a cheap seat in terms of U.S. Senate races. So there is going to be a tremendous amount of third-party money in this race and it is going to make this race competitive, there is no doubt about that.
The wheels of justice certainly are turning slow in this process, but they are turning.
We don't pretend to be holier than thou.
It's a desperate start to a desperate campaign by the State Democrat Party to try and buy back a seat in the U.S. Senate.

Because Capture is tightly integrated with the StudioLive series mixers, you cannot listen to both the analog input and the FireWire return on the same channel. Because of this, Capture does not offer a punch-in feature. All StudioLive owners receive a free copy of Studio One Artist, which does offer a very robust punch-in feature. We suggest that for higher level recording needs, StudioLive users utilize Studio One or another professional DAW application.

With fast fashion creating a global meltdown, fashion industry experts are seeking new ways to produce fabric that's good for the environment. Bio-engineering fabric is a new trend sparked by pioneers who've developed ways to grow textiles that are eco-friendly and totally combustible. Here are two trailblazers that are making their mark by going green.
An advocate for developing clothing fabrics from living organisms, such as yeast and algae, Suzanne Green put forth her best effort with her company. It's pioneering ways to grow fabric from a petri dish. They make the bio couture from bacteria that grows in sugar-based liquid. The resulting cellulose develops into a leather-like material that will breakdown when discarded. The invention is a wake-up call for fashion e xecutives to explore creating sustainable fabric options.
Both these business ventures highlight the fashion's future. With bold steps to incorporate biosciences into developing textiles the fashion industry can create a wide variety of eco-friendly fabrics. Mixing and matching the various fabric inventions is one way to design for the sustainably minded fashionista. After all, fabric made from seaweed and mushroom leather are already on the market. It's only a matter of time before sustainability meets science to develop a line of eco-couture.


Lembu Crafts produces a wide range of hand-printed fabrics including wall hangings, cushion covers, table runners and scented sachets. Using a library of hand carved printing blocks, each length of fabric is individually created by a team of eight talented and industrious local people. Visitors to the workshop are able to observe each step in the process as well as design fabrics to their own specifications. The finished products come in a dazzling array of colours from understated greys and smoky blues to the rich rusts and ochres of the African interior. Fabrics are available in four themes – African Wildlife, African Tribal Designs, Botanical and Ocean.

Sir Leslie Galfreid Melville, né le  et mort le , est un économiste et homme politique australien. Il a participé à la création du système bancaire australien et a présenté de multiples conférences lors de forums économiques internationaux après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a également joué un rôle important dans les premières années de l'Université nationale australienne, dont il a été vice-chancelier de 1953 à 1960.

Biographie

Famille et formation
Leslie Melville est né à Sydney en 1902. Son père, Richard Ernest Melville, directeur de banque, était d'origine irlandaise, et sa mère, Lillian Evelyn, née Thatcher, avait des ancêtres anglais. Il a remporté une bourse d'études au Sydney School of England Grammar School, où il a dominé l'État en mathématiques, et était connu sous le nom de "Isaac Newton de Shore".

Pendant ses études d'ingénieur à l'Université de Sydney, il s'est spécialisé dans les études actuarielles, avant de rejoindre le NSW Superannuation Fund. Travailler à temps plein signifiait qu'il ne pouvait étudier que le soir. Il a donc choisi l'économie.

Carrière

Carrière d'économiste
En 1924, il est nommé actuaire public de l'Australie-Méridionale. À ce titre, il était souvent appelé à conseiller le gouvernement sur des questions d'économie générale à seulement 22 ans.

En 1928, il présenta ses recherches devant la Commission royale australienne sur les questions économiques et financières relevant de l'État du Commonwealth, puis à nouveau en 1929 devant la Commission royale d'enquête sur les finances de l'Australie méridionale.

En 1929, Melville devient le professeur fondateur d'économie à l'Université d'Adélaïde.

En 1930, il est devenu conseiller économique en chef auprès de la Commonwealth Bank, mission qu'il effectuera pendant 23 ans. De ce fait, il a joué un rôle de premier plan dans la formulation de la politique australienne visant à lutter contre la Grande Dépression.

Melville a représenté l'Australie à la Conférence du commerce impérial d'Ottawa en 1932, après que le Premier ministre Joseph Lyons ait révoqué la directive de Robert Gibson lui interdisant d'assister à la conférence. Melville a aussi assisté à la Conférence économique mondiale à Londres en 1933.

Lors de sa carrière d'écrivain, sa pensée économique était souvent en contradiction par rapport à ses pairs, alors qu'il préconisait la fluidité du taux de change, les autres étaient plutôt en faveur du statu quo. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a contribué au montage de l'économie de guerre australienne.

En 1944, Melville a dirigé la délégation australienne à la conférence de Bretton Woods, il y rencontra d'ailleurs le célèbre économiste John Maynard Keynes auprès de qui il fit forte impression, montrant un grand calme et une forte détermination.

En 1950, Melville devient directeur exécutif de la Banque mondiale et du Fonds monétaire international (FMI) pour l'Australie.

Carrière universitaire
De 1953 à 1960, il a été vice-chancelier de l'Université nationale australienne (ANU). Après sa retraite, il est resté membre honoraire de l'ANU au département d'économie de l'École de recherche en études du Pacifique et de l'Asie (RSPAS).

Carrière politique
Melville a exercé trois mandats en tant que membre du conseil d'administration de la Reserve Bank.

En 1960, il est devenu président de la Commission du tarif, mais à la suite de nombreux blocages de la part du ministre du Commerce, John McEwen, il décide de démissionner en 1962. En 1966, Melville fut nommé président de la Commission des subventions du Commonwealth, poste qu'il a occupé jusqu'en 1974.

Distinctions
Lors des honneurs du Nouvel An 1953, Melville fut nommé commandant de l'ordre de l'Empire britannique (CBE) pour ses services rendus à la Banque du Commonwealth. Lors des honneurs du Nouvel An 1957, il fut nommé chevalier commandant de l'ordre.

L'ANU a célébré son centenaire en lui consacrant une série de conférences annuelles, la conférence Sir Leslie Melville. Le discours inaugural, prononcé le , quelques jours avant son centième anniversaire, a été prononcé par Ian MacFarlane, alors gouverneur de la Reserve Bank.
