Macclesfield firm in court over worker's drill injury
October 2, 2014 admin	Leave a comment
A Macclesfield manufacturer has been fined for safety failings after a worker's hand became entangled around a factory drill.
Stormguard Ltd, which produces a range of drainage products, was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after an investigation found it had ignored warnings by its own health and safety officer about how the machine was being used.
Macclesfield Magistrates' Court heard the 36-year-old worker from Macclesfield, who has asked not to be named, had only been working at the Chester Road factory for a couple of weeks when the incident happened on 16 October 2012.
He was using the drill to produce metal sills, used to deflect rainwater from the bottom of doors, when the glove on his right hand became caught, pulling his hand around the rotating drill bit.
The third finger on his right hand was dislocated and fractured, and his little finger was also fractured.
The HSE investigation found that the guard on the drill was inadequate and that it had become common practice for workers to wear gloves while using the drill, despite the risk of gloves becoming entangled being well known in the manufacturing industry.
The court was told that Stormguard's own health and safety officer had identified inadequate guarding on the drill in a written report over a year before the incident. He also raised the issue of workers wearing gloves while using drills. However, no action was taken to tackle these issues.
Stormguard Ltd, of Chestergate in Macclesfield, was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay £4,377 in prosecution costs after pleading guilty to a breach of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector Deborah Walker said:
"There was simply no need for this incident to have happened, especially as Stormguard's own health and safety officer had raised the issue with the company.
"The employee was lucky to escape with relatively minor injuries, but they could easily have been much worse. Workers at the factory were regularly using the drill without an adequate guard and while wearing gloves so there was a high risk that someone would be injured.
"There's absolutely no point in manufacturers hiring health and safety officers if they're not going to listen to their advice. Risk assessments should be acted on – not put on a shelf to gather dust."
More information on health and safety in the manufacturing industry is available at www.hse.gov.uk/manufacturing.
The Health and Safety Executive is Britain's national regulator for workplace health and safety. It aims to reduce work-related death, injury and ill health. It does so through research, information and advice, promoting training, new or revised regulations and codes of practice, and working with local authority partners by inspection, investigation and enforcement. www.hse.gov.uk.
Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 states: "It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees."

Timo WalleniusMONTHLY DONOR
Timo Wallenius
Timo's Story
Timo joined Watsi on March 12th, 2013. Five years ago, Timo joined our Universal Fund, supporting life-changing treatments for a new Watsi patient every month. Timo's most recent donation supported Susan, a mom-of-three from Kenya, to fund breast cancer treatment.
Timo has funded healthcare for 76 patients in 13 countries.
All patients funded by Timo
Susan is a mother of three, with her eldest child now 23 years, and two twins who are 17. She used to work at a salon in Nairobi, but the owner closed the business at the beginning of the year. She has been out of work since then and husband works as a casual laborer in a pharmaceutical firm, which recruits them in intervals depending on the availability of funds. She has applied for national health insurance coverage, but it is not yet approved and her doctors have recommended that she undergoes her surgery as soon as possible. Susan first noted a lump in July so she visited a facility in Nairobi and was treated with pain medication and an ointment. She felt better, but the pain recurred after two months. Due to the pain, she went to a government clinic and was advised to visit a higher-level facility. She opted to visit our medical partner's care center Kijabe Hospital after a recommendation by a neighbor. However, Susan is not in a financial position to pay for the surgery and is appealing for financial assistance. Susan has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Without treatment, the cancer may spread to other organs. A mastectomy, a surgery to remove breast tissue, has been suggested to rid her body of breast cancer and to prevent the cancer from metastasizing. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1110 to cover the cost of a mastectomy for Susan. The procedure is scheduled to take place on December 6th. After treatment, Susan will hopefully return to a cancer-free life. Susan says, "My family and my kids are my motivation. This lump is just increasing in size and pain. I hope I get the treatment I need."
Marian is a seven-year-old student and the youngest child of three children in her family. Her mother is a housewife, while her father is a small-scale farmer. Marian has clubfoot of the right foot, a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Marian tiptoes when she walks, has difficulty walking for long distances, and often falls. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Marian receive treatment. On November 22nd, she will undergo clubfoot repair surgery at AMH's care center. After treatment, she will be able to walk well, run, and play with her peers in school. Now, AMH is requesting $1,286 to fund Marian's procedure and care. Marian's mother shared, "I would love to see my daughter walking like other girls, and any support to make her surgery possible will be highly appreciated by our family."
Jane is a 35-year-old farmer, a single mother of two, and the 5th born child in a family of twelve. Due to the size of their family and how close-knit they are, Jane's mother commented, "all my daughters (6) have been married, gotten children, and then have come back home. I never even remember who is who and who follows the other." Jane was born with a disability and never able to attend school. Jane's mother helps to take care of her. Earlier this month, Jane was working and going through her daily activities when she slipped and fell, sustaining a fractured clavicle on her right side. Jane is in severe pain, and she is not able to go about her normal activities. Jane came to the hospital accompanied by her elderly mother and her niece, and Jane's mother shared her story with the hospital staff. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On September 16th, Jane will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Following the procedure, Jane will not experience pain, the fracture will heal well and she will be able to work and take care of her children as normal. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,049 to fund this procedure. Jane's mother said, "I am desperate and Jane has been a great challenge to take care of even before she was sick. I kindly request help so that at least she can be well and assist herself where she can. I also wish she can be relieved of this pain."
Lemayan is a young three year old boy and the last born child to his mother of five. His father has two wives and a total of seven children in their family. Lemayan's parents are livestock keepers who depend on the sale of milk for their livelihood and once in a while, they are able to sell cattle, however their income is limited. Lemayan was diagnosed with Bilateral Varus. He is having difficulty walking and has pain when he stands or walks for a short distance. His mother noticed the condition when he learned to stand and walk. It began as a slight curve, but over the years the curve has increased significantly. His condition is typically caused by an excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones, which often stems from contaminated drinking water. As a result, it has led to Lemayan not wanting to stand or walk by himself, thus forcing the mother to carry him on her back most of the time. Through a visit of doctors to their village, his parents learned that he could get treated at Watsi's medical partner's care center. Lemayan's parents cannot afford the treatment cost and are asking for help. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $880 to fund corrective surgery for Lemayan. The procedure is scheduled to take place on August 19th. Treatment will hopefully restore Lemayan's mobility, allow him to participate in all kinds of activities, and greatly decrease his risk of future complications. Lemayan's mother says, "It was a slight curve back then when he learnt to stand but over the years the curve has increased significantly and now he is scared of walking. Please help."
Meet Nahashion: a playful, four-year-old boy in kindergarten. Nahashion is the only child in his family. His mother gave birth to Nahashion when she was very young, so she had to drop out of school to take care of her baby. His father is a maize farmer, but he also does odd-jobs like working on other peoples' farms to supplement his maize farm. Both parents did not finish primary education (eight years), which poses difficulty when trying to find better paying jobs. The young family lives in a rental house in a small town. After giving birth to Nahashion, his mother was told by a doctor that her child had hypospadias, a disease causing urinary dysfunction. She was very worried about it because it was the first time she heard about such a case. Without treatment, Nahashion will continue to experience uncomfortable symptoms and will be at risk of infertility when he grows up. A few months afterwards, she started searching for treatment and could not find a specialist in the many hospitals she visited. Finally, Nahashion traveled with his parent's many miles from their hometown to arrive at Kapsowar Hospital, where he was seen by a visiting surgeon. They had heard about the specialist after hearing an advertisement on the radio of the urology clinic that is taking place at Kapsowar. Fortunately, now Nahashion is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on June 24th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $631 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. Nahashion's mother is optimistic and strong. She says, "I am really not sure what is going to happen, but I am confident that my child will be able to proceed well after the surgery."
Guadalupe is an one-year-old baby from Colombia. She is an only child, so she is regarded as the little princess of the family, which consists of her mother, grandma, and uncle. She is already sympathetic and friendly, and loves to play with stuffed toys and with other kids. Guadalupe has clubfoot on her right foot. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Fortunately, Guadalupe's family traveled to visit our medical partner, Clínica Noel, where they can offer treatment. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on August 13th. Our medical partner is requesting $1,422 to fund Guadalupe's clubfoot repair. After treatment, she will be able to start walking and running without pain. Her mother shares a story and her hopes for Guadalupe, "I would really love to see her walk and run normally, she is not the first person with this condition in our whole family, I have a cousin who received treatment when he was 8 years old and it was really hard to see him asking why he couldn't run like the other kids."
Justine is a nine-year-old student and has a twin brother. They have two other siblings and Justine's mother is raising her children on her own. She sells mandazi by the roadside to make a living and provide for her family. For seven years, Justine has had an inguinal hernia. The hernia causes him pain and discomfort, and sometimes he cannot sleep. He has stopped going to school while he tries to seek treatment. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Justine to receive treatment. On May 12th, Justine will undergo hernia repair surgery at AMH's care center. Now, AMH is requesting $566 to fund Justine's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Justine's mother shared, "I have always wanted to seek treatment for my son but due to financial challenges I have not been able to afford the treatment cost. If there is a chance for my son to have his condition corrected I would be very grateful."
Deborah works as a helper at a house and for a family in Kenya. Her husband passed away 11 years ago and she has been raising their three children on her own. Her children are now adults and, although they are supportive, they don't yet have stable jobs. One year ago, Deborah began experiencing severe lower abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. She needs to have a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $794 to fund Deborah's surgery. On March 18th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at AMH's care center. Once recovered, Deborah will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Deborah shared, "I am in so much pain and the discomfort has made me unable to work. My savings cannot cover the required cost of surgery."
Adere is a 14-year-old boy from Ethiopia. He is a grade seven student who loves to go to school and study. Adere also loves music and spends his free time listening to country music and dancing with his friends. Adere's parents are farmers of teff and maize, but they have a limited harvest each year due to the hot and dry landscape. The local community is mostly supported by government and NGOs for food and other basic need. His parents have 12 children, most of whom they are still supporting financially. As a result, Adere's parents need assistance with the upcoming medical bill for their son's surgery. Adere was born with a congenital anomaly called bladder exstrophy, and last year he received surgery to treat this condition in BethanyKids Hospital funded through Watsi donor support. Now, he is scheduled to undergo another surgery for his epispadias condition. Epispadias is an abnormal defect in a sensitive area that prevents him from using the bathroom comfortably. His condition may also cause future infertility problems. Adere will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo an epispadias repair procedure on February 11th. African Mission Healthcare is requesting $1,040 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. This procedure will enable him to use the bathroom comfortably and prevent risk of future complications. Adere's brother shared, "I hope he can be relieved of this condition soon. That would be a great blessing for him and for our family. I hope he will be a doctor and treat children in need."
Di is a 40-year-old woman from Thailand. She lives with her parents, her husband, her brother, and her two children in Mae La Refugee Camp in Tak Province. Di and her family work hard to make ends meet. Her family runs a small shop selling kitchen utensils. Di's husband is a religious teacher, and he does not earn regular income. Her brother is unemployed, and her parents are retired. Di helps with the family shop while her daughter goes to the community school that is led by volunteers. Her youngest son is too young to go to school. She shared that their family income is enough for family expenses, but they are not able to save any money. Around two years ago, Di was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia. Currently, she experiences pain under her chest and her abdominal around umbilical is swollen and pain. Di is not able to do any household chores because of her condition. The pain worsens after she has meals or constipation, and her stomach will feel as hard as a stone. Fortunately, on January 19th, Di will undergo hernia repair surgery at Mae Sot General Hospital, our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund Di's hernia repair surgery. Once completed, the procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and be well enough to care for her family. Di shared, "Once I am better, I will try my best to take care of my family and my children's education. I want them to study in Thai school. They need to be educated, so I need to be healthy."
U Win is a 54-year-old man who lives with his wife and youngest son in the Ayeyarwaddy Division in Burma. He has three sons and three daughters, with five of his children already married and working. His 17-year-old son left school because they were unable to pay school fees, and worked as a day laborer until COVID-19 happened. U Win used to work as a day laborer as well, but stopped working around two years ago due to his health condition. His family survives on 60,000 kyat (approx. 60 USD) each month that U Win's three other daughters and another son send them, enough to cover their basic expenses. In January 2012, U Win felt tired, had a headache, suffered from heart palpitations, and a rapid heartbeat. He went to a clinic where the doctor listened to his heart with a stethoscope and checked his blood pressure. U Win was told that he has high blood pressure and that he would need to take oral medication for a long time. He received an injection, oral medication, and another appointment for more medication. After he took the medication, he felt better and he went back to work. However, U Win continued to experience worsening symptoms over the next few years, returning to clinics and receiving the same treatment. He was told at one point to visit a cardiologist, but did not do so until later on. In August 2020, during another clinic visit in Yangon, the doctor diagnosed U Win with an atrial septal defect, and said that he would need to receive surgery to repair this hole in his heart. If not treated, the condition could weaken his heart further and cause lung problems later on. He was unable to receive surgery in November due to an upsurge in COVID-19 cases, and was also told the procedure would cost about 3,000,000 kyat (approx. 3,000 USD). Luckily, U Win's wife remembered that there is a charity group in Yangon that might be able to help. The group told him about our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, to look for assistance with accessing the treatment he needed. U Win currently experiences chest pain and back pain, has no appetite, and cannot sleep well at night. He appeals for financial support for his cost of care. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On December 20th, U Win will undergo an atrial septal defect closure procedure. Once recovered, his quality of life will significantly improve and he will be able to return to work. Now, our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund this procedure. U Win shared, "I want to get better soon so that I can work for my family again. I am worried about my family's future because we cannot find work in the village. My son also cannot go to Yangon to find another job because of COVID-19 travel restrictions."

TRACK 2: Adaptive Leadership and Alignment to Change
with Zander Grashow
Co-author of the seminal book The Practice of Adaptive Leadership, Zander delves into the art and practice of individual and collective evolution based on thirty years of research at Harvard University. This track provides an evolutionary change framework to determine the parts of the work to carry forward, how to advance among competing priorities and what new capacities are required. We will also explore the intersection of mobilizing external change and mobilizing ourselves. A globally recognized authority on leadership, Zander has been a trusted advisor and partner to Presidents, activists and change agents in their most critical moments of transformation.
TRACK 3: Resilience, Wellbeing and Purpose in Business
with Andrew White and Sophie Maclaren
Informed by the latest findings from research into neuroscience and leadership, participants will be guided to practice and apply a range of meditation and mindfulness methods. This session has been designed for seasoned coaches and facilitators who want to help senior leaders develop their individual resilience, restore collective wellbeing, and deepen a shared sense of organizational purpose. This track is led by Saïd Business School faculty Andrew White, Senior Fellow in Management Practice (Leadership), and Visiting Fellow Sophie Maclaren, who is also Director of Awaris UK, where she leads mindfulness, resilience and wellbeing programs.
TRACK 4: Advanced Coaching and Somatics Training
with Jennifer Cohen
Certified a Master Coach by the Strozzi Institute, Jennifer will dive into the latest from neuroscience and somatics to help you gain a grounded understanding of what makes working with and through the body so powerful in effecting long-lasting and sustainable change. This track will offer a heightened sense of leadership presence, embodiment and inspiration for your own leadership journey, as well as extend and deepen your coaching skills. (Some experience as a coach or trusted advisor required.)
TRACK 5: Team Coaching
with Alexander Caillet & Amy Yeager
Team coaching is the dynamic, complex and enlivening practice of working with a team in real time, on real work, to achieve real, measurable results. Alexander Caillet's pioneering approach — established more than 25 years ago and since refined in collaboration with Amy Yeager, has been used with hundreds of teams internationally and taught to thousands of practitioners. Participants who take this track will get hands-on experience with this powerful discipline, utilizing time-tested frameworks, tools, and methods for assessing and improving team performance.
TRACK 6: Working with Different Parts of the Self
with Dr. Richard Schwartz
Renowned family therapist and trauma expert, Dick Schwartz, is regarded as a pioneer for developing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. In this track you will apply the IFS model to yourself to identify and integrate your sub-personalities or parts of yourself and learn to access your larger, wiser "Self." You will also learn to guide your clients as part of your coaching practice to begin to know and work with their protective parts. IFS offers a profound yet highly practical method for learning from and managing often competing parts of ourselves that can block our progress in life and trigger us in our interactions with others.
TRACK 7: Organizational & Personal Healing with Constellation Principles
with Ester Martinez
Ester brings twenty years of experience as a psychotherapist, constellations expert and as a mystical student of Thomas Huebl. Ester, a senior transformational faculty member of Mobius, serves as core faculty for our CEO program conducted with Egon Zehnder (Executive Breakthrough Program) and as a core practitioner in our executive retreat practice where she guides global leaders. This track explores the systematic principles operating within all human systems, whether family, teams or organizations. We will explore the invisible realms — the chords that guide so many of the visible symptoms we encounter. This session will lift the veil and ignite your own deep healing process as well.
TRACK 8: Leading from The Future
with Robin Alfred
Given the times we live in, increasingly leaders must operate from a place of sensing, intuiting and responding rather than predicting, planning and controlling. In this track Robin will facilitate an exploration of the true nature of the Future; the role intuition, imagination and inspiration play; and how to access these elements to help clients catalyze a regenerative future. Robin is a seasoned trainer, facilitator and organizational consultant who has extensive experience in facilitating personal discovery, depth work and collective group intelligence, to enable emergence and the manifestation of transformational fields.
TRACK 9: The Maturing Masculine Soul
with Dr. Paul Dunion (men-only track)
Paul Dunion has been in private practice as a psychological healer since 1982, when he also began facilitating Men's groups. His work includes individual therapy, working with trauma, and the soul work he details in his collection of books. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a men-only track helping to explore the old definition of maturing as "happening in the proper time." One response is that a man welcomes and integrates more of his own soul. This track may be another proper time for a man to deepen and discover an invigorating measure of integrity, authenticity, courage, and compassion. Participants will employ the mediums of small group work, storytelling, guided meditation, ritual, psychodrama, journal writing, drawing, and didactic presentations.
Supplementing the track learning, we host focus sessions from distinguished and emerging voices in the field of personal, organizational, and societal transformation.

A special group session with Thomas Huebl.
MYSTICAL PRINCIPLES OF TRANSFORMATION
A special group session with Thomas Huebl
For the fifth year in a row, at the heart of our Annual Gathering, we will study the practices of consciousness development and the processes for healing individual, family, and collective trauma.
These quiet hours in the center of the week-long gathering offer a rare opportunity to study the mystical principles of transformation with non-dual teacher Thomas Huebl, who joins us each year for an immersion in his teaching.
Leading the group for a day of study, practice and healing, Thomas will offer his unique approach for living as a "mystic in the marketplace" – sharing his understanding of the mystical principles of embodiment, inter-generational restoration and personal evolution. We are truly delighted to offer this opportunity to practice with an advanced teacher who understands the challenges of modern life and grounds his work in psychology, philosophy, and meta-physical awareness.
Thomas Huebl is a rare guide: a masterful mystic able to navigate advanced realms of spiritual mastery while presenting himself in a delightfully warm, transparent, brotherly way. He is the best of 21st century enlightenment: deep thinking, clear-seeing, and radical in his stance.
In 2020 he published his ground-breaking book Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds. This opus explores how significant collective trauma symptoms are in shaping our modern society and contains cutting-edge remedies that serve as a beacon of hope for generations to come.
Thomas has been guiding many of our practitioners in the professional development of state-of-the-art healing practices and trauma-informed approaches to executive development. Through NPI, Thomas offers workshops, supervision groups/hyper-learning circles and study groups exploring mystical principles.
Thomas is blazing a path of 21st century spiritual practice and helping thousands of students around the world to really live their awakening amid today's busy world. His annual summit on Collective Trauma and his non-profit, Pocket Project, are leading beacons in the field.
Wednesday's session will focus on healing and the art of transformational facilitation.

High School Drop Out and CEO, Jessica Mah Of inDinero, Makes Doing Taxes Pleasant
Laurel Moglen Under 30
Jessica Mah, CEO and co-founder of InDinero
InDinero
Listen to the full episode here:
The intense anxiety of money evaporating and the resulting business carnage is not forgotten on Jessica Mah, CEO and co-founder of InDinero. At twenty, she had over $1 million in funding for a product that couldn't make money, was compared to Mark Zuckerberg and corrosively, started to believe the hype. Dear friends were fired. The company was reduced to two and she and her co-founder had to re-envision what they needed to change in order to profit.
After wallowing in depression for about six months, she watched a customer use her product. Or rather, she listened to the frustrated feedback of that small business owner, and the lightbulb went off. InDinero could be salvaged. Instead of just providing software, Mah decided to go full-service. She incorporated bookkeeping and filing taxes into their business offerings. The reinvention worked. Now, inDinero is bringing in millions in sales.
Tune in to this episode of "Forbes Under-30" to hear about the evolution of InDinero, lessons learned and why Mah separates her identity from her business.

'Power Book III: Raising Kanan' Episode 1 Review
By Riley DeBoer | July 21, 2021
Spoilers ahead for Episode 1 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, along with spoilers for the rest of the Power Universe
To truly understand someone's story, you have to see how it begins…
One of the biggest dilemmas that prequels face is how they can surprise their audience when they already know how it ends (or at least they think they do). It can feel like there is no sense of tension when you know that certain characters are guaranteed to survive since they aren't dead in the source material. When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are first introduced in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, for example, we know that at least one of them is making it out alive (and the other probably isn't).
The Perils of a Prequel
This is the predicament that Power Book III: Raising Kanan faces as it begins its first season. We saw the titular lead character get killed during Power's fifth season. So when somebody points a gun at Kanan here, we know that he's not in any danger of being killed. (I'd say that Kanan's name being in the title would also mean that he's safe, but Ghost's name is in Power Book II, and I'm pretty sure that guy is dead.)
Raising Kanan Episode 1, Patina Miller as Raquel Thomas
So how do you make a prequel have dramatic tension despite the characters' plot armor? The first thing to do is to surround these characters with several unknown factors. Raising Kanan successfully accomplishes this through a cast of many likable characters who are already quite memorable despite their limited screen time. From Kanan's best friend Famous Figueroa to his brutal yet loving mother Raquel Thomas. Raising Kanan's ensemble cast is so compelling you wonder why you haven't heard about them before. But then the dread starts to set in and you ask yourself once again: Why haven't we heard about them before?
Makes You Wonder…
The absence of these characters in Power is deafening, raising the tension to an upsetting degree as we are left to wonder whether or not the majority of these characters make it out alive in the end. But given this franchise's track record, their odds aren't looking so good…
The second thing to do in order to make a prequel work is to focus less on the "What happens" and focus more on the "How it happens". When we first meet Kanan in this episode, he is far from the man we see in Power. He is a smart but kind boy who loves his family. But hidden amongst that is a spark of the brutal killer we know him as.
What this creates is something of a tragedy, as we begin watching Kanan go from a boy scared of losing his mother to one day murdering his own son in cold blood. Mekai Curtis played Kanan's internal conflict. The former Disney Channel actor delivers a commanding leading performance that shows both the conflicted kid he is and glimpses of the man he is destined to become.
Raising Kanan Episode 1, Mekai Curtis as Kanan Stark
In addition to being a prequel, Raising Kanan is also a period piece. The first episode captures the aesthetic of the early '90s excellently. From the Street Fighter arcade machines to the music we hear throughout, this episode manages to represent its time period without being overbearing. (I mean, at least I assume it does since I wasn't actually alive in the early '90s. But my point is that the references never distracted me from what was happening.)
Speaking of music, this leads me to one of my complaints about the episode. There were a couple of points where I felt that the episode's score distracted me from the scenes. The most noticeable example for me was the scene between Jukebox and Nicole, where I felt that what was supposed to be a sweet moment was somewhat lessened by the score's lack of subtlety.
From the Street Fighter arcade machines to the music we hear throughout, this episode manages to represent its time period without being overbearing.
Riley DeBoer, EricaVain.com TV Critic
Additionally, I felt that the episode suffered from not enough "show, don't tell". Many of the characters would simply explain who they are and what they are doing instead of simply showing us. Not to say that the dialogue wasn't any good, because it was. It just was plagued with being a bit too exposition-heavy.
Despite these criticisms, Power Book III: Raising Kanan's premiere episode was an intriguing and entertaining introduction to the origin of one of television's most iconic villains that managed to avoid the pitfalls that often will hurt many prequels.

Does that sound familiar? Students get such requests from their professors all the time. Since you're taking several courses and all professors think their course is the most important one in your curriculum, it's no wonder why you feel the need to get homework help for college students.
Good news: there is an opportunity for all students to get college homework help whenever they need it.
Maybe you don't feel like writing today, and that's totally fine.
The standards are high, and the time is limited. No one teaches students how to write these assignments, so they are practically left on their own.
At this college homework help site, everyone can get college writing assignments. The quality and timely delivery are guaranteed!
Why Do Students Need College Homework Help?
Let's discuss the American educational system, shall we? The first problem is the massive coursework material. Today's students have to go through much more content to complete a single course when compared to the amount of studying their parents did. Plus, they have to take a greater number of courses to meet the credit requirements.
Every single one of these courses comes with homework requirements. Let's get real: a student couldn't possibly be brilliant at completing all chemistry, statistics, algebra, math and science. Plus, they also have to write book reviews, project assignments, case studies, essay assignments, lab reports and whatnot. Sooner or later, everyone starts wondering: Can someone do my college homework for me?
You can't really ask a friend for help. All students have to deal with their own college homework assignments.
You can't skip writing the content, since it's important for your grade.
What you can do is count on a homework help website for college students. Fortunately, the professional writers at Assignment Masters are here to meet instructions.
What Can a College Homework Helper Do For You?
Students are often wondering: What will I get when I hire a college homework help service? The benefits are immense!
First of all, let's talk about time. It's very limited, so it prevents students from completing every single college assignment. When they rely on an expert, they get more time on their hands.
We're talking about college homework assistance here. That means you'll get 100% unique content crafted in accordance with the instructions in the order form. You'll be the sole owner of this paper.
The writers at AssignmentMasters can complete any type of content. It doesn't matter whether you need a movie review assignment for college or a simple essay; the perfect writer will complete it for you.
The biggest advantage of hiring an online writing service is getting the paper on time. That's what all students need, and that's what the essay writing industry offers! It's a completely legit order that's not breaking any laws.
What Difference Does the Best Homework Help Service Make?
Oh; it makes a HUGE difference! Think about it: is it better to hire a reputable assignment writing service for college that guarantees great results, or a random website that doesn't ensure 100% unique content? Of course you'll opt for the safe and reliable service! That's the only way to get content that your professor will appreciate.
Speaking of costs, the price is also important. Of course, students don't have too much money to spend on college assignment help, but they still need the best results. Only the best writing service will meet those standards! At our website, you'll get fair prices and awesome discounts.
When there's an option to get high-quality homework for an affordable price, there's really no reason not to rely on it. Friends can't help because they are too busy, and there's really no point in skipping the assignment when it's so important for the grade. Everyone can benefit from a service that delivers unique writing assignments for college students!
The longer deadlines come with lower quotes per page, so ordering the assignment ASAP is the smartest thing you could do. As soon as the order form is complete, you can relax knowing that the homework will be completed by a qualified writer with experience on similar topics. Student life just became easier!

Mani Hussaini (* 25. Oktober 1987 in Qamischli, Syrien) ist ein norwegischer Politiker der sozialdemokratischen Arbeiderpartiet (Ap). Von 2014 bis 2018 stand er der Jugendorganisation Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking (AUF) vor. Seit 2021 ist er Abgeordneter im Storting.

Leben
Hussaini kam in Syrien in einer kurdischen Familie zur Welt. Er besuchte in seiner Heimatstadt eine christliche Privatschule. Sein Vater betätigte sich als kurdischer Aktivist, war Mitglied in der Demokratischen Partei Kurdistan-Syrien (PDK-S) und schrieb Bücher über kurdische Kultur. Im Jahr 1998 verließ Mani Hussaini mit seinen Eltern und zwei Geschwistern als politischer Flüchtling das Land. Von Syrien flohen sie über Griechenland nach Schweden. Nach elf Monaten in Schweden sollten sie nach Griechenland abgeschoben werden und die Familie suchte schließlich Asyl in Norwegen. In Norwegen lebte Hussaini zunächst in Asylunterkünften in Bærum, Asker, Stord und Haugesund, bevor sich seine Familie in der Gegend Romerike niederließ.

Hussaini wurde im Jahr 2006 Mitglied in der Jugendorganisation Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking (AUF). Im damaligen Fylke Akershus wurde er 2009 zum Vorsitzenden der AUF gewählt. Er behielt den Posten bis 2011. Nachdem er seinen Bachelorabschluss in Staatswissenschaften an der Universität Oslo erhalten hatte, arbeitete er im Jahr 2011 als Praktikant an der norwegischen Botschaft in Abu Dhabi. Nach den Anschlägen in Norwegen 2011 kehrte er nach Norwegen zurück. Im Jahr 2011 zog er in das Fylkesting des damaligen Fylkes Akershus ein und er wurde Mitglied im Kommunalparlament von Ullensaker. Neben seinem Bachelorabschluss hat er einen Masterabschluss in Technologie und Innovation.

Im Oktober 2014 wurde er ohne Gegenkandidaten als Nachfolger von Eskil Pedersen zum neuen AUF-Vorsitzenden gewählt. In seiner Zeit als Vorsitzender gehörte zu seinen Hauptaufgaben die Verwaltung der Folgen des Anschlags auf die AUF auf der Insel Utøya. Unter anderem wurde während seiner Amtszeit diskutiert, das Kafébygget, in dem 13 Personen ermordet worden waren, auf der Insel abzureißen. Auch fand während seiner Zeit als Vorsitzender im Jahr 2015 erstmals wieder ein Sommercamp der Parteijugend auf der Insel statt. Im Oktober 2018 trat er nicht zur Wiederwahl als AUF-Vorsitzender an.

Bei den Parlamentswahlen 2013 und 2017 verpasste Hussaini jeweils den Einzug in das norwegische Nationalparlament Storting und er wurde jeweils sogenannter Vararepresentant, also Ersatzabgeordneter. Bei der Wahl 2021 zog er schließlich erstmals direkt ins Parlament ein. Er vertritt dort den Wahlkreis Akershus und wurde Mitglied im Energie- und Umweltausschuss.

The Works of Nathaniel Lardner, D.D. with a Life by Dr. Kippis ...
Авторы: Nathaniel Lardner
endeavour to show, that they are not contradicted in the rest.
If I succeed in this attempt, here will be a good argument for the genuineness of these writings, and for the truth of the principal facts contained in them; distinct from the express and positive testimonies of christian writers, and the concessions of many others.
OF PRINCES AND GOVERNORS MENTIONED IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT.
I. Herod. II. Archelaus. III. Herod the Tetrarch, and
Philip. IV. Herod the Tetrarch, and Herodias. V. Lysanias, Tetrarch of Abilene. Ví. Herod (Agrippa.) VII. Felix and Festus. VIII. Felix and Drusilla. IX. Agrippa (the younger.) X. Bernice. XI. Sergius Paulus, deputy of Cyprus. XII. Gallio, deputy of Achaia.
The first thing I would observe is, that Josephus and heathen authors have made mention of Herod, Archelaus, Pontius Pilate, and other persons of note, whose names we meet with in the Gospels and Acts of the Apostles; and have delivered nothing material concerning their characters, posts, or honours, that is different from what the writers of the New Testament have said of them.
I. St. Matthew assures us that " Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king," Matt. ii. whom St. Luke styles expressly "the king of Judea," Luke i, 5. Herod was the son of Antipater, who had enjoyed considerable posts of honour and trust under Alexander Iannæus, and 'Alexandra his wife and successor in the civil government of Judea, and their eldest Son Hyrcanus; who was high priest in his mother's lifetime, and after her death, had the civil power also united in him.
Nicolas of Damascus says, that Antipater was descended
from one of the chief of the Jewish families that returned into Judea from Babylon. But Josephus makes no scruple to declare, that Nicolas said this, only to flatter Herod, who came to be king of Judea; and that in truth he was an Idumean.a
These Idumeans were a branch of the ancient Edomites, who, as Dr. Prideaux b has observed, while the Jews were
in the Babylonish captivity, and their land lay desolate, • took
possession of as much of the southern part of it, as • contained what had formerly been the whole inheritance
of the tribe of Simeon, and also half of that, which bad • been the inheritance of the tribe of Judah ; and there • dwelt ever after,-till at length going over into the religion of the Jews, they became incorporated with them into the same nation.'
Josephus gives this account of their conversion. Hyrcanus took also Adora and Marissa, cities of Idumea: and having subdued all the Idumeans, he permitted them to * remain in the country, upon condition they would be cir• cumcised, and use the Jewish laws. Rather than leave • their native land, they received circumcision, and submit• ted to live in every respect as Jews. And from that time • they became Jews.'
This happened in the 129th year before the christian æra.d Consequently Herod was a Jew though not of the ancient stock of Israel.
Moreover Josephus calls Judea, Antipater's native country. And the Idumeans in the Jewish war promised to • defend the house of God (at Jerusalem) and fight, for their
common country. And the Jews themselves allowed Herod to be a Jew. Whilst Felix was procurator of Judea, • there arose a dispute between the Jews and Syrians that • dwelt in Cæsarea concerning the equal rights of citizenship. The Jews thought they ought to have the prefer

• ence, because the founder of Cæsarea, Herod their king, was a Jew,'s
Herod obtained the crown of Judea upon occasion of a difference between two branches of the Asmonean fainily. Hyrcanus had been for a considerable time prince and high priest of the Jewish nation. But whilst the Roman empire was in an unsettled state after the death of Julius Cæsar, Antigonus, son of Aristobulus, brother of Hyrcanus, by means of some friends he had amongst the Jews, and by the assistance of the Parthians, made himself master of Jerusalem, and all Judea, and took Hyrcanus prisoner, who was put into the hands of the Parthians.h
Hereupon, Herod, who had been governor of Galilee under Hyrcanus, and whose interests had hitherto depended entirely upon him, set sail for Rome. AU he then aimed at, was to obtain the kingdom for Aristobulus, brother of his wife Mariamne, by his father, grandson of Aristobulus, and by his mother, of Hyrcanus. But the senate of Rome, moved by the recommendations of Mark Antony and some reasons of state, conferred the kingdom of Judea upon Herod.
Having had this unexpected success at Rome, he returned with all expedition to Judea ; and, in about three years' time, got possession of the whole country. Antigonus was taken prisoner, sent to Antony, and by him put to death at Herod's request. • He (Herod) reigned after the death of • Antigonus thirty-four years, and from the time he was declared king by the Romans thirty-seven.''
He died of a very painful and loathsome distemper; insomuch that, as Josephus says, ' Some then pronounced it ' to be a judgment of God upon him for his many im' pieties.'"
II. St. Matthew informs us, that Joseph, having been sometime in Egypt, by divine direction, " arose, and took the young child, and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea, in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a

If you wish to focus on the Canadian market, then you need a .CA domain name for your website considering that the local country-code top-level domain name extension is the most popular in the country, more famous even than .COM and Dot NET. It is a good deal more probable that somebody will visit and eventually order goods or services from a Dot CA site than from a website with any other extension. Owing to the registration limits pertaining to this top-level domain, Canadians acknowledge that a Dot CA site is a local one and that they can pay in CAD and in this way support a fellow citizen or a local enterprise.
The .CA ccTLD is controlled by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), but they don't provide registrations directly, so if you want to register a .CA domain name, you are required to do it through a third-party company, such as ours. You can effortlessly submit a registration order through our website and your new .CA domain name will be fully active almost instantly. You will have full administration over your WHOIS information, your domain's DNS records and so on, even though there are some limitations. A .CA domain can be registered only by Canadian residents, citizens and locally based firms. Moreover, the Registrant (owner) contacts cannot be altered once a domain is registered.
The regulations for acquiring a .CA domain ensure that all domains and websites belong to local persons and businesses. Such a domain will raise the standing of your site in Canada and will have higher standing in local search results and with our company, your .CA domain is barely a few clicks away.
With Provident Host's outstanding Domain Manager, you'll be able to control many .CA domains without any effort. An important part of our user-friendly, tailor-made Web Hosting Control Panel, it enables you to edit your domains' DNS controls and WHOIS data with a few mouse-clicks. And above all, you won't need to worry about nothing - from our devoted 24/7/365 support team to our in-depth selection of help tutorials, we've got you covered!

Q: Is WP Silverlight 8.1 application installed on SD card or on internal phone memory? I have a Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 C# project.
I know that user can chose where to install new store applications or he/she can move the application from SD to phone and vice versa.
I also know that I can opt in the package.appxmanifest to restrict SD card installation, but this seems to be available only for Windows Phone 8.1 projects.
Anyhow, I would like to check at run-time if the application was installed on SD card or on internal phone memory.

Las Vegas launches "CES 2018" - the world's largest consumer electronics exhibition, which will also feature the Ukrainian pavilion.
This is stated in a message of Ukrinform.
"This year we brought 10 companies to the Ukrainian pavilion, and we are all expecting more than 20 Ukrainian start-ups at CES. Companies are very diverse - from virtual reality to" smart home ", said the initiator of the Ukrainian pavilion and executive director of the Ukrainian Association of Venture and private capital Olga Afanasyeva.
Ukrainian developments have already been presented to a number of European and American investors, and some of these developments have attracted their interest.


Your local project contains a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml file.
These describe how the project is built. It is important to note that the docker-compose.yml file is only used in the local project, and is not used in Cloud deployments.
For local development use only. An addon can be placed here for development purposes. addons-dev contains a little magic; any packages within directories in addons-dev will automatically be placed on the Python path for convenience.
Running divio project develop <addon> for an addon in addons-dev will add it to the project's requirements.in and settings.INSTALLED_ADDONS, then attempt to build the project.
For local development use only. In data, a media directory functions as the local analogue of Cloud project's S3 storage bucket (see How to interact with your project's media storage).
Templates at the project level will override templates at the application level if they are on similar paths. This is standard Django behaviour, allowing application developers to provide templates that can easily be customised.
For example, templates from Aldryn News & Blog will be copied to templates/aldryn_newsblog/ in your project.
If a template does not exist in the project's templates directory, Django will simply fall back to the one in the addon itself.
After templates have been copied to the project's templates directory, they will not be copied again, so as not to overwrite any changes the project developer may have made. However, this does mean that if an addon is subsequently updated and its templates change, those changes will not appear in your project.
if you have not made any changes, you can simply delete your local versions and Django will use the updated application templates.
The Divio CLI clones (downloads) the project's files from the Divio Cloud Git server.
…the project's Dockerfile. This tells Docker how to build the the project's containers - Docker begins executing the commands contained in the file.
If necessary, Docker downloads the layers from which the container image is built.
Docker continues executing the commands, which will include copying files, installing packages using Pip, and running Django management commands.
Docker returns to the docker-compose.yml, which sets up filesystem, port and database access for the container, and the database container itself.
The docker-compose.yml file contains a default command that starts up the Django server.
The Divio CLI opens a web browser window with a login page for the locally running site.

Global solidarity of intellectuals for the jailed writers in Turkey…
Turkish judiciary
Turkish politics
Leading philosophers support Turkey's writers
Butler, Negri, Morin join signers of letter in support of Turkish writers; Roberto Saviano dedicates award to Altan brothers
Support for an international letter protesting the recent detention of Ahmet and Mehmet Altan and calling on end to the unjust persecution of writers in Turkey has continued to grow in the fourth day after the letter was made public.
On the fifth day of the Altan brothers' detention, the letter has found 241 signatures from some of the world's most well-known writers, intellectuals, academics, publishers and actors. The most recent signers include American philosopher Judith Butler, the celebrated Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Negri –viewed as the leading theoretician for the left– and the French philosophers Edgar Morin, Jean-Luc Nancy and Judith Revel.
Italian journalist and writer Roberto Saviano, who'd signed the support letter on the first day, won the prestigious M100 Sanssouci Media Award at the Sanssouci Colloquium in Potsdam, Germany on Sept. 15.
In his acceptance speech at the ceremony, where Chancellor Angela Merkel was also present, Saviano said he dedicated his award to Ahmet and Mehmet Altan.
The letter, which was opened for signing on Sept. 10 following the detention of Ahmet Altan and Mehmet Altan, was able to collect 241 signatures within a matter of days from the world's leading academics, intellectuals, writers, journalists and philosophers. The full text of the letter and an alphabetized list of the signers can be found below:
We the undersigned call upon democrats throughout the world as well as those who care about the future of Turkey and the region in which it exerts a leading role, to protest the vendetta, which the government is waging against its brightest thinkers and writers who may not share their point of view.
The background to this letter is the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, which mercifully failed and was quickly subdued. Had the Turkish people themselves not resisted this assault on their institutions, the result would have been years of misery.
In the aftermath of that coup, it is understandable that the government would have imposed a temporary state of emergency. However, the failed coup should not be a pretext for a McCarthy style witch hunt nor should that state of emergency be conducted with scant regard for basic rights, rules of evidence or even common sense.
We as writers, academics and defenders of freedom of expression are particularly disturbed to see colleagues we know and respect to being imprisoned under emergency regulations. Journalists like Şahin Alpay, Nazlı Ilıcak or the novelist Aslı Erdoğan have been outspoken defenders of democracy and opponents of militarism or tyranny of any sort.
We are particularly disturbed to see the prominent novelist Ahmet Altan, and his brother, Mehmet Altan, a writer and distinguished professor of economics, being detained in a dawn raid on September 10, 2016. The pair stands accused of somehow giving subliminal messages to rally coup supporters on a television panel show broadcast July 14th, the night before the coup-attempt.
Ahmet Altan is one of Turkey's most important writers whose novels appear in translation and sell in the millions. He was also editor in chief for five years of the liberal daily newspaper Taraf. The paper championed the public's right to know. He has been prosecuted many times over his career –in the 1990s for trying to get a Turkish readership to empathize with the country's Kurds or more recently for trying to force an apology from the prime minister for the 2011 Roboski massacre in which 34 villagers were bombed. He appeared in court as recently as September 2, charged with handling state secrets based on an indictment that was in large part copy pasted from two entirely different cases.
Mehmet Altan is a professor at Istanbul University, a columnist whose numerous books campaigned to rebuild Turkey's identity not on race or religion but respect for human rights. Like his brother and others now in jail his crime is not for supporting a coup but for the effectiveness of his criticism of the current government whose initial progress in broadening democracy is now jammed in reverse gear.
We therefore call upon the Turkish government to cease its persecution of prominent writers and to speed the release of Ahmet and Mehmet Altan as well as so many of their colleagues wrongly accused.

It is no surprise that doctors struggle taking time off, taking a break. It is not something we do, we always work hard. There is an unspoken pressure to always be on, be right, to know, and that takes lots of work. It is an unclimbable mountain of 'always' but we try none-the-less.
I remember during school, I would be sitting at supper with my wife and mid-sentence would simply fall asleep. I could fall asleep sitting, sometimes even standing. I fell asleep at a stop light, sitting on my motorcycle, and fell over. This ongoing devotion to work was simply part of the deal in school, you know what I mean, look at how hard folks work even with the 'duty hours' in place. It followed me to Utah when I was in the clinic at Dugway. There was a time where I was the only doctor for the post for over 6 months, thought nothing of it, being on call every day, seeing patients every day, never leaving the post. It was life, it was medicine, it was expected.
In residency, I would moonlight on the side, working hard until I had a bleeding ulcer. Standing in front of the GI doc who had just scoped me, hearing him dress me down for working too hard, I remember thinking, 'I am going to have to smarten up'. I did for a while, then transitioned out of residency into academics and once again found a way to work all the time. I worked in medicine, in academics, in research, with a side of farm chores just to make it interesting.
We moved to Prince Edward Island to 'get away', to try once again, to find a balance in life. In just a few short years I once again built a mighty empire of work. But this time something was different. Nancy asked me how long I was going to do the same thing and expect a different outcome. That was a most valuable conversation that shifted my point of view, it moved my attention from the outside world to the inside world. I began to look at how I spent my time, and what it cost me. A book that really changed my point of view was 'Overwhelmed: Work, love, and Play When No One has the Time' by Brigid Schulte. As crazy as it sounds, the exercise where I looked at how I was spending my 168 hours each week really rocked my world. I had been living my life as if I had all the time in the world available to me, and the realization that I only had 168 hours each week that stopped me dead in my tracks. Tracking how I spent my time, seeing medicine consume more of my time than everything else, was eye opening. I was shocked, although no one else was. Medicine is a jealous lover, always asking for more, until you have lost track of your real relationships, until they have come to see their second-class status in your life. In the moment when you see how you have cheated on your life with medicine, you come to understand what has been lost and gained, and in that moment that you begin to break up with medicine.
Breaking up with medicine can be hard, especially if the relationship has come to define who you are. It is a disruption of a long-term relationship, hard and fraught with anger and worry. It is a dark night when you see what has been done, freely, by your own actions, to those who love you most. But it is this dark night that brings about the clarity of morning light. It is the realization of what has been given that cannot be returned, what has been lost that is beyond retrieval, that burns through your heart in these moments. It is the burning away of the selfish pride. It is a fire we need to feel in order to clear away the dead wood in our life, allowing new growth to arise. For my part, I let it burn me good, burn until I felt like I had nothing left to toss into the flames, allowing myself to be melted and pliable so I could begin to reshape into something new, building on the scaffolding of these hard lessons learned. So I say, work hard, commit yourself fully to the cause that is medicine, allow it to wear you down until you burn in the fire, for when the ashes are cool, what rises will be far more beautiful than what was burned my friend, and I will be standing near that fire ready to greet you with a knowing look and a big hug.
This is a series of letters to a young doctor form so long ago, please follow along with me as we explore together this life in medicine and touch the history that has formed in the process. If any of resonates for you, and you happen to be curious, and wish to know more, do not hesitate to drop me a line. If you would like to know more about my work, or to work with me, feel free to contact me. I post regularly to Instagram (@gilgrimes), Twitter (gilgrimes) , Medium and Facebook (gilgrimes) about whatever arises. And if you would like to stay in touch sign up for my newsletter (probably once or twice a month at most).

Additional Sources of Support for Transformation
Role of NICIE
Transformation Development in Schools
Implementation of the Transformation Development Plan
This guidance from The Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) is aimed at schools implementing their Transformation Action Plan. The object is to help schools monitor, value and increase their diversity, in order to maximise inclusion, participation and achievement for all their learners and the wider school community.
The guidance is aligned to the Department of Education's (DE) guidance "Transformation: An Information Pack for Schools", and particularly Section 3A "Implementation of the Transformation Development Plan" which states that the implementation of the Transformation Development Plan "is about managing a process of change in which the transforming school seeks to persuade all sections of the community that they will be afforded parity of esteem and opportunity."
DE recognizes that "each transforming school will need to be sensitive to the realities of the local situation" and must "consider the needs and expectations of the existing school population as well as the new needs and expectations of the new intake to the newly transformed school." However all transforming schools must address four key areas in their Transformation Action Plan: Management, Ethos, Curriculum and Public Relations.
This guidance provides schools with indicators in each of these areas so that they can baseline their current practice and plan for progress in every aspect of the school's life and work. NICIE will use these indicators to report twice yearly to DE on progress in the transformation process.
The indicators are centred upon the following principles:
• Diversity and Inclusion
• Equality and Social Justice
• Participation and Achievement
• Faith and Values
and they have been informed by:
1. The NICIE Statement of Principles
2. The Indicators for the NICIE Excellence in Integrated Education Award
3. The NI Curriculum
4. DE Guidelines for Community Relations Equality and Diversity in Education (CRED)
5. Together Towards Improvement : The Education and Training inspectorate (ETI)
6. Every School A Good School (ETI)
7. Developing Shared Education: A Framework for School Partnerships (ETI)
8. OFMDFM "Together Building a United Community" (TBUC)
The indicators are set out in four groups
2. Ethos
3. Curriculum
4. Public Relations
The four groups take account of key themes within the ETI Quality Inspection Framework for schools. Beside each group of indicators there is a list of examples of possible sources of evidence. The indicators and the examples are deliberately broad so that schools have flexibility to interpret and evidence them in ways that are real and relevant to their situation.
Every transforming school has its own particular context and set of circumstances. Implementation of the Transformation Action Plan must be dealt with professionally and sensitively. It is essential to consider the needs and expectations of the existing school population as well as the new needs and expectations of the new intake to the newly transformed school.
