Generally known as the most favorable kind of divorce to both sides, an uncontested divorce simply occurs when both parties agree to a legal end to their marriage, an equitable division of their community property and assets, and an agreeable plan for child custody. Typically, couples that participate in an uncontested divorce process will have already agreed to financial matters, including any child support payments or alimony payments.
Uncontested divorces can proceed through several different processes, ranging from mediation to settlement agreements and more. Couples can elect to use either the same legal representation or different attorneys based on their needs and personal preferences. This results in a few key benefits for both parties, including a lower overall financial burden, a quicker proceeding, and a faster divorce that becomes finalized in a matter of a few weeks or months rather than a few years.
How Can I Convince My Spouse to Agree to an Uncontested Divorce?
The arguments in favor of an uncontested divorce are clear, and they're almost always the best way to convince a reluctant spouse to put their differences aside and participate in a marital settlement process or divorce mediation. In fact, these arguments are good enough to persuade an estimated 95 percent of couples to try such a divorce before they resort to other procedures. Employing our experienced uncontested divorce Las Vegas attorneys, moreover, will ensure that the process is as smooth and painless as possible for yourself, as well as your family.
– Cost: An uncontested divorce in Las Vegas simply costs less, and it's even possible for a couple to use the same mediator or attorney and reduce the costs even further. For spouses who are budget-sensitive, an uncontested divorce is generally a no-brainer.
– Length: Because there are no major disagreements or back-and-forth wrangling between separate attorneys, the uncontested divorce generally takes only a few weeks or months. Conversely, the average contested divorce typically extends well beyond a year in length.
– Children: We elieve that placing kids in the middle of a contentious divorce process should be a last resort for parents. Parents who can pursue an agreeable custody, support, and visitation arrangement will benefit their children in a big way for years to come.
The term "uncontested divorce" is broad, and it covers a few different methods that can all lead to a quick, agreeable, and equitable outcome for both parties. In Nevada law, there are several ways to proceed through a divorce in a manner that's agreeable to both sides and results in quick, uncontested proceedings that are simply less stressful and less costly overall.
The mediation process is one that many couples choose to engage in because it actually helps prevent a number of disputes as the divorce goes forward. Mediators cover everything from the distribution of property to the division of debt, financial issues like child support or alimony, and even matters of custody. Couples are encouraged to handle each issue individually, coming up with an equitable agreement that places equal benefits or burdens on each individual. The agreement reached is submitted as a divorce agreement through the courts, and judges typically honor this agreement as a quick and easy way to finalize the divorce without dragging proceedings on any longer than necessary.
Mediation should be considered the top option for couples that may not necessarily disagree on the big issues, but want to ensure that they can work out any minor disagreements before they become more heavily weighted in the process. It's also a great way to learn more about the rights and responsibilities assumed during the divorce process and its potential outcomes, and one that generally is less costly than other options.
The agreement, when it's completed, must be submitted to a judge. Their job will be to assess whether or not the agreement is fair to both sides. That doesn't mean that both sides need to be receiving exactly equal shares of each item, but simply that everything should be fairly divided in good faith. If the judge sees the agreement as fair, it will be filed along with the final divorce papers and it will become the blueprint for dividing property and assets, pursuing financial concerns, and initiating any child or spousal support payments agreed upon in the document.
Essentially, both couples file for divorce at the same time. This indicates that both parties agree to the separation and it includes joint agreements that cover most of the major issues. This is the closest process to a traditional legal proceeding, and it's the one that is most commonly pursued to initiate an uncontested divorce. Attorneys at the Steinberg Law Group will help to cover and settle any issues where there might be a greater need for detail or the potential for smaller disagreements.
Couples with children will need to work on a plan of action relating to the custody and support of their children. Primary custody, regular visitation, and an agreement about child support are all part of this rather broad agreement between the parties.

Is there any midsize more iconic than the BMW 5 Series? It's hard to find one. This luxury sedan has made a name for itself across the world, and recent updates to the newest BMW 5 Series generation only improve on a treasured recipe. For 2019, trim levels include the BMW 530i, 530e iPerformance, 540i, and M550i. And for the second year, BMW continues to offer their 5 Series only as a sedan.
It likely won't be a surprise to Charleston drivers that BMW 5 Series models are some of the most luxurious, state-of-the-art sedans in the world--you won't be taken aback by standard features like a moonroof, SensaTec upholstery, or a leather-trimmed steering wheel. But, you might appreciate additions like premium surround sound, Head-up Display, and heating for the seats and steering wheel.
The design of the new 2019 BMW 5 Series is one that you can drink in, savor, and enjoy long after its pulled away. Every detail--from the mature and focused face, to the modest character lines, to the squared-off rear end--comes together to create a look of power, precision, and confidence. There are twelve color options as well as four BMW Individual custom-made colors to choose from.
The BMW 5 Series has one of the most extensive list of engine options in the lineup: three gas engines and one hybrid engine--all turbos. 530i models offer 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder; 540i models are good for 335 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6; M550i models thrill with 455 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque from a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine; and 530e iPerformance models satisfy with 248 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque from a hybrid-electric 2.0-liter twin-turbo powertrain. xDrive all-wheel drive is available across the model lineup.
A standard 10.2-inch touch screen gives you access to all of your media, features, maps, and more through BMW's iDrive infotainment system. New for 2019, you will now be getting Apple CarPlay as standard with a yearly subscription service. Safety features like rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, frontal collision warning, and pedestrian detection systems from the standard Active Driving Assistant helps put the BMW 5 Series at the front of the pack.

Home Perspectives Pervasive racial profiling of Muslims in the US
Pervasive racial profiling of Muslims in the US
Javed Zamir
Racial profiling in the US is so pervasive that it has affected virtually every Muslim living or visiting there. On August 16, there was the well-publicised case of Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood's top star, who was subjected to invasive questioning for more than two hours when he arrived on a British Airways flight at Newark, New Jersey airport. Khan has not just millions but hundreds of millions of fans worldwide that are not confined to his native India. His fan base spreads across Pakistan, Afghanistan and indeed throughout the Middle East. He could not be farther from the profile of a terrorist, much less be a terrorist. His interest is in acting and dancing, behaviour the Americans want to encourage among Muslims worldwide away from serious stuff like praying, fasting and following other Islamic acts, like jihad.
So why did customs officials pull Khan over for intrusive questioning? His last name appeared on America's rapidly expanding computer watch-list. Now this would include tens of millions of people, if not more, with the last name "Khan". But how can the Americans know this; their knowledge of the world is so limited that many of them do not even know who their neighbours are. A survey conducted among university students a few years ago revealed some interesting facts about the state of knowledge of Americans. A full 38 percent of students answered France when asked to name the country that shares a border with the US. And the Americans do not even like the French because in 2003, then French president Jacques Chirac had refused to send troops to join the US invasion of Iraq. With such lack of awareness, it is not surprising that the notoriously ignorant American border guards would make mistakes. Khan, of course, was let go after a few hours of questioning but not before the Indian consulate in New York intervened to explain that he was on a promotional tour of his film and that he had visited the US many times before. Besides, when he applied for a US visa in Delhi, he had provided his photograph, finger prints and other details about himself that should all have been on the computer record.
Yusuf Islam, the former pop singer Cat Stevens, and his daughter were humiliated in 2004 while visiting the US. His problem was also his name –"Islam. The Americans had a point there: "Islam" was invading their country and if the US was at war with Islam, two Islams landing on the peaceful shores of America posed a double threat. Something had to be done. Yusuf Islam's plane was escorted by US air force planes and forced to park away from the terminal building. Both he and his daughter were taken off the plane for intrusive questioning and then put on a flight back to England. This has now been cleared up as was evident from Yusuf Islam's tour of the US last May.
Even if one were charitable and excused overzealous border security officials at US airports for pulling visiting foreigners for extra questioning, what explanation is there for subjecting American citizens to such treatment? This is not confined to Muslims born elsewhere that later acquired American citizenship; even American born Muslims are subjected to these shakedowns each time they fly in and out of the country or even fly within the US. Take the example of Imam Abdul Alim Musa, a respected figure in the American Muslim community and Imam of Masjid al-Islam in Washington DC. He is not only subjected to intrusive questioning and searches when he returns home from a visit abroad, at the end of July he missed his flight to South Africa because he was detained at Atlanta airport for extended questioning. He was forced to spend the night at Atlanta airport and take a flight the following day. What is it necessary to subject a person to such questioning and intrusive searches? What precisely is it that US customs and immigration officials are looking for? Has Imam Musa ever, in the last 30 years, been found to have done anything illegal or is it merely because he is an outspoken Muslim who refuses to endorse Uncle Sam's criminal behaviour worldwide?
Stories of Muslims being pulled off flights because some "white" passenger felt uncomfortable or did not like his or her looks are so numerous that it is difficult not to conclude that the policy of racial profiling has now infected "ordinary" Americans as well. When it comes to racial profiling, the Americans do not discriminate: Muslims can be of any background or age. The case of two Somali-American scholars at the Univer-sity of Minnesota is illustrative. The husband-wife team of Professors Abdi Samatar and Cawo Abdi has been subjected to repeated invasive questioning and searches while returning from travel abroad. Abdi Samatar is chair of Geography department at the University of Minnesota and his wife Cawo is professor of sociology. Since June, the husband and wife team has been pulled over six times at airports for extended questioning.
"He went through every little thing that was in my wallet, one by one," Professor Samatar said, recalling the inspection of one customs officer. He sports a greying beard and wears bookish, gold-rimmed glasses. Despite the fact that he has frequently been called by the US State Department for consultations on Somali affairs and travels around the world for his research, these things seem not to matter. He says he is of interest to the government because of the kind of work he is doing. Since June, Professor Samatar has gone through four secondary searches, which he described as demeaning and humiliating. US customs officials have rummaged through his personal diary, his toiletries, his kid's diaper bag, and academic papers on Somali pirates.
One officer took a keen interest in his papers, Professor Samatar said. The officer wanted to know why he was reading them. The professor said he was planning to write about the issue of Somali piracy. When the officer asked why he wanted to write such things, the professor responded: "We are scholars, and we write papers and books." Luckily, the customs official did not ask: why do you write books, otherwise the already-harried professor would have been stuck at the airport for endless additional hours! Professor Samatar said the last time he was pulled aside for additional screening –" upon returning to Minnesota from Sweden where he had attended a conference –" he refused to answer the customs officer's questions and was eventually released. Even university professor must sometime tire of questions put to them by ignorant US customs officials.
Professor Samatar and his wife are both US citizens with American passports. Last month, they were returning from South Africa on separate flights and were steered into a waiting room at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. "We looked at each other, and we smiled, and we said, 'OK, let's see where this takes us," recalled Professor Cawo Abdi. "It's a very unpleasant experience to be interrogated for two or three hours when you have never committed a crime, when you are doing your job, and you of course care about the security of every American," she said. "Being a citizen, I expect, and I have a right, for a certain level of protection, and I don't feel like I'm treated like an American."
With America's involvement in Somalia –" what place on earth is the US not involved in? –" and the resentment felt by some Somali-Americans toward such policy, appears to have led to such aggressive behaviour by US customs officials against people of Somali origin. But this applies to others as well: Pakistanis, Afghans, and Arabs of many different countries. Pakistani officials, including cabinet ministers, presidential advisors and generals on official visits have been subjected to humiliating treatment upon arrival at US airports. Most Pakistani officials, however, accept such mistreatment because visiting the US is one "honour" they cannot pass. Others, like the two Somali-American professors want to air their concerns publicly to draw attention to the rude and crude behaviour of customs officials.
Both believe they are on some kind of government watch list. They also think that the birthplaces listed on their passports may have automatically triggered the extra scrutiny. Professor Cawo Abdi was born in Somalia; her husband was born in neighbouring Djibouti.
But US Customs and Border Protection officials insist they do not practice ethnic or religious profiling. The mountain of evidence points in the other direction. Somali students and residents in Minneapolis-St. Paul are now routinely stopped by federal investigators in shopping malls and even on university campuses for questioning.
Is there any other word for racial profiling?
applies

RETURNING CHAMP WESTWOOD HOPES TO REKINDLE MAGIC AT THE THAILAND GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
BANGKOK (9 December) a�� Lee Westwood is relishing the challenge ahead as he prepares to defend his crown at the US$1 million Thailand Golf Championship and to pick up the points needed to push him into the worlda��s top-50 when the Asian Toura��s showcase event tees off Thursday at the Amata Spring Country Club in Chonburi.
a�?It's lovely to be back obviously and winning last year makes it a bit more special,a�? said the 42-year-old, who also claimed the title in 2011.
a�?For me it's important to try and get into the top-50 in the world, with the entry that gives you to the top events. So it's nice to face a good field here and play for lots of points.a�?
Westwood was joined on stage Wednesday by two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson, European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke, veteran Thai star Thongchai Jaidee and teenage Thai sensation Danthai Boonma as the buildup continued towards the first round.
a�?The golf course is in great condition again, theya��ve assembled a great field, so wea��re all set for great week,a�? said Westwood.
Last year, the Englishman produced a final round for the ages as his five-under-par 67 took him to a one-stroke victory over Germanya��s Martin Kaymer and Australian Marcus Fraser.
Westwood has arrived on the outskirts of Bangkok full of confidence following a season that saw him capture his third victory at the Indonesian Open back in April and fresh from hearing the news that Clarke had selected him as a captaina��s pick for next month's EurAsia Cup.
a�?I've always played pretty well in Asia,a�? said Westwood, who has been paired with Kaymer and Thailanda��s Prayad Marksaeng in the first round.
a�?That was the third time I've won that tournament in Indonesia so it would be nice to win this one for a third time too. I've won here a couple of times so my confidence is pretty high. The golf course fits my eye.a�?
Watson has rushed around the globe following his victory in the PGA Toura��s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Sunday a�� and he wouldna��t have things anything other way.
a�?The golf course is beautiful and the fans treat us really nice,a�? said the 37-year-old American. a�?The tournament is going in the right direction. They are trying to grow the tournament and grow the game of golf.a�?
Thai veteran Thongchai a�� three-time winner of the Asian Tour Order of Merit and 18-times a title-holder across an illustrious career a�� agreed the Thailand Golf Championship was one of the main drivers of the development of the game not just in his home country but in terms of the entire region as well.
a�?We have a strong field here this year and the young players can learn from these great players,a�? said the 46-year-old, who in September added the European Open to his collection of championships.
a�?The feeling is very positive for the future and for the development of the game in Asia.a�?
Thata��s a fact reflected by the eventa��s role as part of The Open Qualifying Series, with four places at the 145th staging of the world's oldest major at Royal Troon next July up for grabs.
For 19-year-old star Danthai, fresh from his maiden Asian Tour victory in Singapore last month, ita��s an opportunity that adds incentive for the whole field but especially to the young legion of Asian golfers who have always dreamed of playing on the greatest stages the game presents.
a�?It will be tough as the field is strong but I will try my best,a�? said Danthai. a�?I am really excited to play this week. Winning has opened up a lot of opportunities for me.a�?
The 47-year-old Clarke knows all about the allure of the Claret Jug, having won The Open in 2011 and he agreed being part of The Qualifying Series had added an extra sheen of prestige to the Thailand Golf Championship.
a�?It's called The Open for a reason,a�? said Clarke. a�?It gives people all around the world an opportunity to qualify and come and play. The more people that have the opportunity to come and play the better. That's how it should be.a�?

Stateless Rohingya refugee children living in 'untenable situation', UNICEF chief
With around half a million in effect, stateless Rohingya refugee children living in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar camp, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) chief stressed on Friday that the international community must address their "untenable situation" and "invest in this generation".
While the massive humanitarian effort so far – led by the Bangladesh Government with international support – has saved countless lives, these children are becoming increasingly anxious about their futures, and vulnerable to frustration and despair.
"The obligation we have as a global society is immense: to give children and young people the world has defined as 'stateless', the education and skills they need to build decent lives for themselves," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore, after visiting the world's largest and most congested refugee camp over two days earlier this week.
With the right investment, the Rohingya can be an asset to their community and to the world – UNICEF chief
In Myanmar, most Rohingya have no legal identity or citizenship, denied documentation by the Burmese Government. And since August 2017, when the vast majority were forced to flee for their lives from into Bangladesh, children are not being registered at birth. They lack any legal identity and official refugee status.
Until conditions in Myanmar allow those eligible to return home, Rohingya children remain a minority without status, according to UNICEF. They are excluded from a formal education curriculum and in desperate need of skills.
"Without a legal identity, they are at the mercy of traffickers and drug dealers", said UN Humanitarian Envoy, Ahmed Al Meraikhi, who accompanied Ms. Fore.
He stressed that we must agree collectively to "invest in this generation of Rohingya children so that they can better navigate their lives today, and be a constructive part of rebuilding Myanmar's social fabric when they are able to return".

Open enrollment for state exchange starts
Sign-up for coverage through healthcare.gov lasts until January
Open enrollment for state exchange starts Sign-up for coverage through healthcare.gov lasts until January Check out this story on clarionledger.com: https://on.thec-l.com/1NtpFej
Clay Chandler, The Clarion-Ledger Published 3:27 p.m. CT Nov. 2, 2015 | Updated 9:48 p.m. CT Nov. 4, 2015
The healthcare.gov website, where people can buy health insurance, is displayed on a laptop screen.(Photo: Don Ryan/AP)
Open enrollment on the state's federally run online health insurance marketplace started Sunday.
Consumers who would like to purchase coverage for 2016 on HealthCare.gov have until Jan. 31 to do so. This is the third year of the exchange, created by the Affordable Care Act.
In Mississippi last year, 100,000 people purchased coverage, with 95 percent of those receiving subsidies to help pay for it. For 2016 , the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that 82 percent of returning enrollees would likely qualify for the same assistance. Of that group, HHS said, most could purchase plans for $75 per month or less once the credits are applied. Eighty-five percent could purchase coverage for $100 per month or less.
Nationwide, 80 percent of HealthCare.gov enrollees will qualify for the credits, according to HHS. That's down from 85 percent in 2015.
In 2016, a 27-year-old in Mississippi with an income of $25,000 a year will get a tax credit that averages $87 a month, compared to $112 in 2015. A typical family of four with an income of $60,000 will on average receive a tax credit of $427 a month, compared to $516 in 2015, according to HHS.
Marketplace tax credits are structured so they keep pace with premium increases in the benchmark silver plan offered on HealthCare.gov. In the 37 states that use the federal HealthCare.gov, the cost of the benchmark plan will increase an average of 7.2 percent. In Mississippi the cost of the benchmark silver level plan will decrease by 10 percent.
The same three carriers that offered plans in Mississippi in 2015 — Magnolia Health Plan, Humana and United Healthcare — are back for 2016.
What will change is the penalty assessed for not having health insurance. Last year was the first, per the terms of the ACA, that taxpayers had to indicate on their returns if they had health insurance. The penalty then was 2 percent of their income, $325 per adult and $162.50 per child, whichever is greater.
This year, the penalty increased to 2 percent of income, $695 per adult and $347.50 per child.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease resulting from targeted destruction of central nervous system (CNS) myelin. MS is suggested to be an autoimmune disease involving the pathogenic activation of CD4+ T cells by a foreign antigen in the peripheral blood. The activated CD4+ T cells liberate inflammatory cytokines that facilitate the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) promoting their passage into the CNS. Inside the CNS, CD4+ T cells become re-activated by myelin proteins sharing a similar structure to the foreign antigen that initially triggered the immune response. The CD4+ T cells continue to liberate inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), which activates macrophages and antibodies responsible for the phagocytosis of myelin. Acute CNS lesions can be re-myelinated, however, the repair of chronic demyelinating lesions is limited, leading to permanent neurological deficits. Although current MS treatments reduce severity and slow disease progression, they do not directly repair damaged myelin. Henceforth, recent treatment strategies have focused on neurotrophins, such as nerve growth factor (NGF) for myelin repair. NGF promotes axonal regeneration, survival, protection and differentiation of oligodendrocytes (OGs) and facilitates migration and proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursors (OPs) to the sites of myelin damage. NGF also directly regulates key structural proteins that comprise myelin. Interestingly, NGF also induces the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), another integral neurotrophin involved in myelination. The intricate signaling between neurotrophins and cytokines that governs myelin repair supports the role of NGF as a leading therapeutic candidate in white matter disorders, such as MS.

Abstract:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease resulting from targeted destruction of central nervous system (CNS) myelin. MS is suggested to be an autoimmune disease involving the pathogenic activation of CD4+ T cells by a foreign antigen in the peripheral blood. The activated CD4+ T cells liberate inflammatory cytokines that facilitate the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) promoting their passage into the CNS. Inside the CNS, CD4+ T cells become re-activated by myelin proteins sharing a similar structure to the foreign antigen that initially triggered the immune response. The CD4+ T cells continue to liberate inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), which activates macrophages and antibodies responsible for the phagocytosis of myelin. Acute CNS lesions can be re-myelinated, however, the repair of chronic demyelinating lesions is limited, leading to permanent neurological deficits. Although current MS treatments reduce severity and slow disease progression, they do not directly repair damaged myelin. Henceforth, recent treatment strategies have focused on neurotrophins, such as nerve growth factor (NGF) for myelin repair. NGF promotes axonal regeneration, survival, protection and differentiation of oligodendrocytes (OGs) and facilitates migration and proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursors (OPs) to the sites of myelin damage. NGF also directly regulates key structural proteins that comprise myelin. Interestingly, NGF also induces the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), another integral neurotrophin involved in myelination. The intricate signaling between neurotrophins and cytokines that governs myelin repair supports the role of NGF as a leading therapeutic candidate in white matter disorders, such as MS.

Inter Milan ties up with Moovit transport app
Article by Coliseum, published February 26, 2019

Serie A Italian soccer club Inter Milan has announced a partnership with mobile public transportation app Moovit in an effort to encourage more fans to take public transit to games. Moovit's mobile app will provide fans with real-time public transportation directions for navigating to and from Inter Milan's home and away matches.
Fans using the app will be able to see estimated times of arrival and be alerted to possible diversions or changes when riding public transit. The app also includes guidance on how to access specific entrances within stadiums via public transportation, as well as routes detailing a user's way home. Moovit is available in 44 different languages, which was a major draw to Inter given Milan is a major tourist-destination city.
For every game in the season, Inter fans can easily reach the stadium without using their car by using Moovit's trip plan, real-time arrivals and live directions. The collaboration will alleviate any worries that fans have about arriving or leaving a game, and allow them to travel with greater ease and convenience using Moovit's accurate and reliable transit information.
"This agreement with Moovit, the world's number one public transport app, will help our fans get around cities and allow them to arrive at all the stadiums Inter are playing at, whether in Italy or Europe," said Alessandro Antonello, Inter Milan's CEO, in a press release. "Users will then be able to identify the best route to get to the Meazza, the Inter Store and all the stadiums hosting the Nerazzurri [Inter Milan] in a quick and sustainable way, with public transport and sharing available to them."
Moovit's mobile app is free to download on both Android and iOS devices. The app has over 330 million users, with maps to more than 200 cities in Italy and over 2,700 cities globally, according to Inter's press release.
"Inter Milan is the first team in Milan to have chosen to work with Moovit for its mobility needs. This is a team that has the highest average number of spectators in the current championship, and the only Italian team within the top ten European teams in terms of game attendance between August and December 2018," said Moovit's Director of Partnerships Samuel Sed Piazza, in another press release.
"This collaboration marks a solid commitment on Inter's part to support sustainable mobility and for Moovit, represents an important recognition of the work that we're doing all over the world to facilitate and promote the use of alternative transit options," he added.

Gabriel Cadis, a senior figure in Jaffas Christian community was stabbed to death on Friday evening, during festivities at the St. George Church in Jaffa.
Cadis, who served as head of the Orthodox Church Association in Jaffa, was taken to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, but succumbed to his injuries very quickly.

Jaffa residents described Cadis' death as as "an earthquake".
According to initial reports, those participating in a carnival left St. George's Church for their homes at around 18:30. Cadis, who was walking in the street, felt a sharp stab to his back. Witnesses said that he told those around him that he had been stabbed. He then fell to the floor and witnesses say they saw a red blood stain on his back.
Gabriel Cadis was an important local figure, who was involved in local Jaffa politics. Those close to him say that he was not involved in any disagreements with anyone, and that he at no time feared to walk alone in Jaffa.
Cadis had attended Friday prayers with a nearby Muslim community earlier in the day to show empathy after police had confiscated the mosque's loudspeaker system following neighbors' complaints. At the end of the prayer service, Cadis said, "Today it's loudspeakers, tomorrow it will be the church bells," according to Jaffa resident and Tel Aviv City Council member Ahmed Masharawi (Meretz).
Later, Cadis led a celebratory march with the Orthodox Christian community in light of the Christmas holiday, which, for that community, is on January 7. "For Orthodox [Christians], today is Christmas Eve; the most holy day of the year. Everyone is wearing joyful holiday attire, everything is red, a carnival," said Masharawi.
Hundreds of people participated in the march. At the end of the march Cadis made a speech, descended from the stage and walked toward his car. "There were many people dressed in Christmas clothing. You could not recognize them because it was dark. I walked 20 meters ahead and then, outside Tara Sante, (a private Arab school in Jaffa), he was stabbed," added Masharawi.
Israel police, including the commander of the Tel Aviv district, arrived on the scene and have opened an investigation.
Police Commander David Gaz said that the stabbing may have been caused by a business disagreement.

James Clapper was the head of US intelligence under Barack Obama. He recently published his memoirs, entitled "Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence". In an interview with FRANCE 24, he reacted to recent developments in the United States, including the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy from the Supreme Court and the forthcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. He also shared his thoughts on alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
Former US intelligence chief James Clapper reacted to the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy from the US Supreme Court, pointing that it could have "impacts for decades", especially on the issue of abortion. He also warned that Donald Trump's travel ban could be "counterproductive" from a national security standpoint by fuelling anti-American sentiment.
The former US Director of National Intelligence welcomed the announcement of a Trump-Putin meeting next month, but cautioned that it should be well prepared and not simply another example of the US president indulging authoritarian rulers. "What seems to be uppermost in Mr. Trump's mind is having a positive relationship with autocrats", he told FRANCE 24.
Clapper also discussed alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, saying that while he regretted that he and the Obama administration had not been more forceful in denouncing Russian meddling before the election, he added that doing so would have given the impression that they were taking sides. "President Obama was legitimately concerned about the optic of his putting his hand on the scale in favour of one of the candidates into the disfavour of the other", he explained.
However, the former US intelligence chief asserted his belief that Russian meddling did actually swing the election in favour of Donald Trump. "When you consider that the election turned on less than 80,000 votes in three key states; when you look at the massive effort that the Russians directed across many fronts and using multifaceted enablers, notably social media... To me, it just stretches logic and credulity to think that the Russians didn't have [a] profound impact on the outcome of the election and in fact could have turned it", he told FRANCE 24.
Finally, Clapper said he could not assert whether there had been collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia but noted that candidate Trump's exhortation to Russia to "go find 30,000 missing emails" from the Clinton campaign was a strong indication of coordination between them. "I hope Special Counsel Mueller will resolve this issue one way or the other, because this is a cloud hanging over this country, it's a cloud hanging over the presidency and it needs resolution one way or the other", he concluded.


Channeled messages from the Lemurians + Archangel Haniel on global change through the feminine. They talk about politics, love relationships, social media, news and some deep ways we can activate the change we are seeking collectively.
We greatly appreciate the stand many have taken today and we applaud your efforts in activating change by using a collective voice. Now it is most helpful if you all dive deep within and ask, "How can I be a solution to the greater good?" Can you imagine if every individual who attended this march activated their highest expression?
We would like to begin by offering the perspective of the feminine vs. women. It is the feminine energy that has not been utilized to its potential in the recent past and this is the change that is required. The feminine exists not only in women but also men.
What you are all looking for right now is an upheaval of an old paradigm, what many call a patriarchal structure. The most powerful way to create this is by creating new paradigms, new ways of creating abundance and true empowerment of all. Not just in women, but also helping to empower men to be vulnerable, creative and to embrace an acceptance of a balanced self; not defined by just masculine traits, but their feminine side as well. Most were raised to over-compensate and many women have been raised to succumb. It is important for you to meet in the middle.
So beyond your feminine expressions, it is the transformation of relationships between men and women that will create a revolution. You know that change is made from each person; you can see how powerful it is for each individual to make a choice to show up and come together to produce a tangible power as you have witnessed with this march. So imagine if all of these people did their best in doing this in their personal lives; changing conversations, dynamics between the sexes, and activating their own innate power. This is the change we now ask of you.
It is the balancing of tides that will bring accord. It is the calling forth of the feminine energy that can truly change the world. We are not talking about politics, we are talking about global and evolutionary revolution through the feminine. There must be a rising up of creative solutions based in love, nurturance and credence given to the softness of things. We must return and retreat into nature. We must listen to the earth, really listen. We must remind each other of our internal and infinite beauty. We must activate this knowing inside of us. We must love ourselves so that we may all express God individually.
We mustn't blame, we mustn't fight against. Your civilization will soon learn that there is truly nothing to fight against once you actually stand in empowerment. When you truly stand in power, nothing can penetrate you because you create all as you see fit through your vibration and expectation. So when you waiver in your own power, this is when it can be threatened.
The men on your planet must be reminded that that they do not have to fight for their power either. There have been generations of fighting for survival that exists within their DNA. We all must activate our thriving selves in order to create the change we seek. We must meet in the middle, we must listen to each other.
The women's march is a great example of diluting unnecessary societal roles and creating equality. You all know that this is being called forth in many manifestations of race, religion and class around the globe. You have a long way to go.
You must begin to take an active role in your congress and elected officials. Call, write, sign petitions, show up but show up from love. Do not fight against. Cast your votes from love.
You must now begin to activate what you call your purpose. There is no better time than now. The solution lies within you.
You must change the way you are showing up in the world. Smile at strangers, ask meaningful questions, attempt to understand each other, be kind, forgive, this dissipates all walls of separation that you seek to tear down.
You must stop telling the story of the past. All that exists is a manifestation of what you thought before. What is the new story? You are not only directing your own lives but that of the collective. What is the new story you want to tell? Step into this role now.
There is a great turning of tides now dear ones. We are with you during this time of change and we hope and support this as an evolution of love. All is perfect for your cultivation for what truly Is, love. All that exists on now in front of you is challenging you to re-identify your way of thinking, being, feeling and interacting with one another.
Your world is becoming so connected and accessible through social media; please use it to your advantage and not your demise. Tap in to share inspiration and activate change. What would your soul wish to share if you knew you were here temporarily? How would your soul wish to leave an imprint here through love? What is the story you want to tell about your time here on earth? Begin to write this story now from the perspective of the soul, that all is possible through YOU dear ones and all is now.
You are now able now to see the imbalances that exist more clearly in the world. We suggest you choose your feed of information carefully. We suggest you challenge those that wish to embellish truth for their gain. We ask you to remain in your personal empowerment and this is only done if you are honest with thyself. Where might you be lackadaisical? Where might you be forgetting the great change that you came to create? Where might you be missing the messages that are there for you today? Put your phones down for a day and see what happens. See how this changes the way you engage with the world around you. Show up, look into people's eyes, ask questions, and tell the truth.
We would like to talk to you about the body. The female body represents fertility, usefulness in and as a reminder of beauty. A soft, giving nature that isn't being used as such because she was taught that there wasn't room for it. It is now time for women to sit in circles again discuss ideas, create change and access the power they have within for they will not get it from the outside world, no one will. Gather. Talk about ways to create change in your communities, in your relationships, in your nation and beyond.
Where does your heart pull you? What are the causes that you feel passionate about? How can you be a solution to this? If God gave you all the gifts you would need within only for you to tend to lightly, what would these be? How could you offer these to the world? Come back to your natural rhythm, listen to the body, let it guide you. You are equipped to make all the decisions you need with clarity. Any tension is there to steer you back to an easier path of love and alignment. What brings you joy? What lights you up? This is what many call your "purpose" but we call living harmoniously. This is the answer you are seeking collectively.

Átmavičára (sánskrtsky ātma-vicāra) nebo také filosofické sebedotazování je meditační technika zaměřená na rychlé dosažení duchovní realizace, neboli mókši. Nejčastěji bývá spojována se jménem Ramany Maharšiho. Sebedotazování pojaté jako meditace na myšlenku "Kdo jsem já?", neboli meditace subjektu na subjekt, má vést k osamostatnění a následnému rozpuštění myšlenky klamného "já" (ega).

"Kdo jsem?" je zásadní filosofická otázka, protože veškeré naše poznávání (včetně vědeckého poznávání) se děje pouze přes subjekt, aniž bychom tento subjekt skutečně znali. Vědecké zkoumání zaměřené na objekty odkládá filosofickou otázku, jaké vědomí vlastně zkoumá, poznává.

Átmavičára se podobá zenovým technikám, kdy žák drží v mysli určitý kóan, který vede k určitému "probuzení", k přímému prožití duchovní skutečnosti.

A singing fiend couldn't frighten kids with his terrible yells. His father tried to punish him by making him brush his teeth and wash his face. Instead of sounding frightening, the fiend started singing sweetly so he was forced to go to school. He was the only fiend that washed himself, studied and sang sweetly.

Пірі (Пірі) — офшорне газове родовище в Індійському океані біля узбережжя Танзанії у блоці 2, правами на розробку якого володіє консорціум у складі норвезької Statoil (65 %, оператор) та ExxonMobil (35 %). Відноситься до газоносного басейну Мафія (отримав назву за островом Мафія із архіпелагу Занзібар).

Родовище виявили влітку 2014 року внаслідок спорудження буровим судном Discoverer Americas свердловини Piri-1, закладеної у двох кілометрах на південний захід від родовища Лавані-Головне. Вона знаходилась в районі з з глибиною моря 2360 метрів, мала довжину 5695 метрів та пройшла через газонасичений інтервал у пісковиках нижньої крейди.

На початку 2015 року розміри відкриття уточнили за допомогою оціночної свердловини Piri-2 (довжина 5196 метрів).

Пірі планується включити до першого етапу розробки блоку 2 (разом з Зафарані, Лавані-Головне та Лавані-Глибоке). Наразі очікують, що видобуток з нього буде вестись через 3—5 свердловин. В той же час, станом на 2017 рік ще не було прийнято остаточного плану розробки, одним з варіантів якої є використанням плавучого заводу із зрідження газу (останнє дозволить уникнути прокладання трубопроводів по дну зі складним рельєфом, обумовленим численними підводними каньйонами).

За результатами буріння Piri-1 геологічні ресурси родовища оцінювались від 56 до 85 млрд м3 газу.

PathologyWatch Raises $25M to Advance AI-Driven Skincare Research and Diagnostics
The Series B funding round will help PathologyWatch digitize biopsies, increase access to top skincare physicians, and further AI research.
PathologyWatch has been disruptive to the market and is digitally transforming the industry in unprecedented ways.
SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) November 16, 2021
PathologyWatch, the leading digital lab and pathology platform for dermatologists, announced today that it has raised $25M in Series B financing with participation from Ceros Capital Markets, Rock Creek Capital, SpringTide, Spark Growth Ventures, Blueprint Health, Blackbrook Management Group, and existing investors.
With the new funding, PathologyWatch will broaden its outreach to dermatologists and conduct further research into skincare diagnostics and AI -- allowing patients to receive faster diagnoses and more equitable access to dermatopathology services while enabling labs to work more efficiently and cost-effectively. Additionally, the funding will support operations as the business expands across the country, adding new labs in Texas, Florida, and Arizona.
"We are honored that of all the digital dermpath labs available, dermatologists are increasingly choosing to partner with us," said Dan Lambert, PathologyWatch CEO and cofounder. "As digital dermatopathology continues to grow, it has the potential to reduce the costs of pathology by billions while creating better patient care for everyone across the country. We're thrilled to be winning so much volume so quickly."
PathologyWatch provides fully interfaced EMR reporting and 24/7 access to digital slides for dermatology clinics. For their clients, this means more efficient workflows and direct access to leading dermatopathologists across the country, with broad insurance coverage. PathologyWatch has successfully integrated laboratory information systems, scanners, digital viewer technology, and EMRs into an end-to-end solution for dermatologists.
"PathologyWatch has been disruptive to the market and is digitally transforming the industry in unprecedented ways," said Mark Goldwasser, CEO of Ceros. "With the need for remote health services during Covid, the distributed network of top-tier dermatopathologists alongside a digital viewer that can be accessed anytime and anywhere could not have come at a more fortuitous time."
"For a dermatology practice to send nearly all skin biopsy volume for cancer diagnosis to PathologyWatch is a no-brainer," said Austin Walters, founder and managing partner at SpringTide. "The company has worked hard to create a service that outperforms every other from both cost and quality perspectives."
"Dan is a driven entrepreneur with social good in mind," said Ryan Brooks, principal at Blackbrook Management Group. "We are part of a cause, not just an investment capital endeavor. In the past, I have been a patient waiting for pathology to come back. When you are waiting for results that could change your life dramatically, you want doctors and tech you can depend on. PathologyWatch will enhance the human experience and enable dermatopathologists to do a better job."
"I am proud to support PathologyWatch's mission to provide premier, accessible, and affordable digital pathology services to the world," said Rick Stratford, Managing Director of Rock Creek Capital. "The ability to provide top-tier pathology services to all communities regardless of location brings hope to patients in underserved areas and can save countless lives. PathologyWatch and other digital platforms like it are democratizing healthcare services and bringing hope and change to our healthcare systems."

IV. 1. Cultural and political limitations
"David Beckham's decision to learn Spanish now he has signed to play for Real Madrid next season should help fire children's interest in learning the language at school, a minister said today. The schools minister Stephen Twigg said Spain was England's number one tourist destination and Spanish the second most important European language for business (…) He will be a very useful representative to young people about how it can be cool to learn Spanish."
Even though the Government fails to promote languages using traditional political strategies, they certainly do think of alternative techniques, such as using one of their most eminent role models as a representative abroad, namely David Beckham, a professional football player. Pupils, and mostly boys, who are one of the target groups as far as raising achievement is concerned, are interested in football for the vast majority. Using a famous sport's figure to give a positive idea of language is indeed a clever turn!
As the minister says, Spanish has recently gained an increased interest, as it is a very common holiday destination for many British people. However, France is still a traditional place to spend holidays, and the impact of this on linguistic skills is yet to be found.
The language that suffers the most from student disaffection is German, which many comprehensive schools do not offer any longer. School Z, for instance is phasing out the tuition of German, and only Years 9, 10 and 11 are still learning this language. Business companies have expressed their concern about German, as it is still placed in priority for business use. According to the Report of the Centre for Information on Language Teaching, published in November 2004, 46% of Britain's non English speaking markets are in Germany, 45% are in France, 31% in Netherlands and 27% are in Spain. According to the same source, the top three languages causing barriers in efficient business trade are French, German and Spanish, which are the three main languages offered within British schools. Unfortunately, businesses then hire natives of the foreign language needed who are also fluent in English, to help them work with prospective European partners. The lack of proficiency shown by British people in Modern Foreign Languages is a hindrance to business, which to some extent is detrimental to the United Kingdom's economy. There also seems to be some kind of stigma linked to languages.
"Learning other languages gives us insight into the people, cultures and traditions of other countries, and helps us to understand our own language and culture. Drawing on skills and expertise of those who speak community languages will promote citizenship and complement the Government's broader work on the promotion of social cohesion" (Dfes: 2002: 12)
Although the United Kingdom has had a tradition of promoting their own culture around the world and has been involved in a huge number of other national communities, transmitting their ethos to the countries of the Empire and then the Commonwealth, the reciprocity of this cultural enrichment has appeared to be a complex process. Today, the United Kingdom is part of the European Union, but the number of Eurosceptics in the country is not decreasing. British newspapers, mainly the tabloids, participate in displaying a negative perception of the European Union. Many British people are unaware of the implications, the organisation, the institutions and the policies of the European Union. Ignorance leads to lack of interest, for the vast majority of the population. It is often claimed that Britons have few cultural links with Europe, and that they feel closer to the group of countries sometimes referred to as the 'Anglosphere'. This community consists of English speaking countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Canada and the United States. They share a common language and similar values, due to common historical links, that is to say most of these countries were once part of the British Empire. Moreover, although the British do not want to leave the European Union, recent polls have shown that the British population was against the introduction of the Euro and the European Constitution. As long as the United Kingdom does not feel that they genuinely belong to continental Europe, the poor attitude toward language learning is unlikely to change.
Mixed messages exist amongst the population in the United Kingdom concerning the perception of languages. Pupils in secondary schools do not show great enthusiasm for this school subject, as recent figures published in the Times Educational Supplement show: "in some cases dropout rates from GCSE language courses are extremely high – from 50% to 90%"(tes.co.uk). Pupils often do not see the point in learning a foreign language. English is spoken all around the world as a first, second or third language. Many countries use one language in their everyday life, but English is their official language. In holiday resorts, everything is made to accommodate tourists. Tour operators employ English speaking staff to avoid any difficulties for their customers.
However, a recent survey published by the Centre for Information on Language Teaching suggested that "over 75% of the general population think that a foreign language is important; and this figure increases to 90% amongst the 15 to 34 year olds". If this figure is accurate, this means that pupils in Year 10 should, in their vast majority, choose a Modern Foreign Language as an option for their GCSE, which is not the case. At the beginning of Year 10, pupils are 15 years old. The Centre for Information on Language Teaching wants to promote languages in the United Kingdom, and the interpretation of these statistical figures appears to be very optimistic.
Modern Foreign Languages are not the easiest subject in the curriculum for pupils. When it is time for them to decide which option to select for their exams, they have the choice between art, drama, physical education, double manufacturing, cookery and textiles. In larger schools they might also have media, business studies, and as it is a requirement, Modern Foreign Languages are offered. Pupils cannot help but wonder in which subjects they will gain an A* to C, which is the pass rate. It is a very difficult choice to make for a 14 year old teenager.
Often, the attitude about languages that surrounds them is not very encouraging. It is a challenging and very academic subject. Pupils also do not get language support from families. For generations, their families did not have to learn a language. Or, they were not very good at it because of the failure in the educational system in teaching Modern Foreign Languages adequately when schools turned into comprehensive schools.
The way English has been taught for decades has not made it easy for pupils to access a foreign language. Before the Literacy Hour was introduced at Key Stage 2, pupils were no longer taught grammar. Therefore, their Literacy Level was often quite low. Although languages can help tremendously to improve Literacy skills, pupils often feel overwhelmed by the vast amount of new grammatical knowledge they have to acquire. In School X, pupils in Year 10 and 11 left primary school before the English Key Stage 2 Strategy and the Literacy hour were introduced, or they had only been taught under the newly enforced system for a year. When I started teaching them, they did not know what a verb or a subject was, whether in English or in a Foreign Language. They were unable to identify nouns in a sentence. I taught German to some classes and French to other groups, and producing accurate sentences was completely impossible for the pupils. They could not identify any of their errors.
The difference with the pupils who started secondary school in the past three years is very impressive and significant. The knowledge acquired in primary school facilitates their understanding in languages, and Modern Foreign Languages lessons consolidate the learning previously acquired. This is a very good example of the cross-curricular benefits that pupils can obtain from learning a language. This also shows that the initiative made by the Government to amend the way English was taught has had a beneficial impact in several ways, as it has improved pupils' skills in English grammar and this proficiency has facilitated the learning of Modern Foreign Languages.
Lower achievers cannot always overcome these difficulties in Modern Foreign Languages. During the first few weeks I taught at school X, pupils had to be sent to detention systematically for not producing homework. The Head of Foreign Languages, who had about twenty years of experience in teaching, explained that generally pupils in the United Kingdom have a very negative attitude towards homework, and that if it was not clearly specified that there would be appropriate sanctions if a piece of homework was not produced, pupils would not complete the activity set. To try to counteract these difficulties, various techniques are used by schools. Most schools require that parents sign a home-school agreement which states the responsibility of parents and pupils for their learning. It is not only a teacher's responsibility to make sure pupils produce the work expected, as parents are required to be as supportive as possible. This agreement also stresses parents' responsibility for their child's behaviour in lessons. The home-school agreement is designed to involve parents in their child's education as much as possible. However, this agreement endorses the lack of motivation on the part of the pupils, and so homework is perceived as a sanction rather than a requisite for steady progress.
The National Curriculum for Languages, in its Programme of Study, highlights the importance of training pupils in becoming independent learners, as does the National Key Stage 3 Strategy. In spite of this, pupils in school Z, are provided with a homework timetable to help them in organising their working time. Pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 are given one piece of homework a fortnight for French when they are taught four lessons in two weeks. This homework should take up to thirty minutes to be completed. It seems that pupils are still not much challenged by this schedule of work.
IV. 2. Structural limitations
In the United Kingdom, a culture of competition and achievement is bred within society, but more specifically within schools. Pupils are encouraged to take part in sports fixtures, in drama production to represent the school in the area, or in talent shows.
This competitive spirit is also rendered in the numerous tests pupils take. Although the infamous "eleven plus" exam was officially suppressed with the birth of comprehensive schools in the 1960s, the current labour Government is considering introducing a new assessment at the end of Key Stage 2. This would have implications for Modern Foreign Languages to some extent. Although languages are not a compulsory feature yet in primary school, prior attainments are taken into account as soon as a child starts secondary school. The assessment that the Government wishes to set up implies that pupils leaving primary school with good results will be more likely to go on the rolls of schools that are on top of the list in the league table. Consequently, it can divide schools into categories, as was the case before the existence of comprehensive schools.
The figures analysed earlier show that the dropout rate in languages is already quite high, and it is even more so in schools which are towards the bottom of league table. "Allowing schoolchildren to drop languages at age 14 is reinforcing an existing class divide, warns a report from national education bodies. Schools with more pupils on free school meals are making languages optional. (…) In some, albeit isolated, cases dropout was extremely high. One school reported 40% of pupils in Year 11 not studying a language (last year's option choices), rising to 90% for Year 10 (this year's). This school also reported knock-on effects in Key Stage 3, with curriculum time being reduced for lower ability groups." Indeed, the United Kingdom seems to move back towards an elitist educational system and this is not the only fact that leads to this conclusion.
Although legally the existence of an examination at the end of primary school should not be relevant to pupils' enrolment in secondary school, selection still exists under cover of a different name. The Government appears to tolerate 10% of selection. In 1995, David Blunkett, made it extremely clear in his famous speech at the Labour party conference "read my lips: no selection". Some grammar schools have high expectations of the potential candidates which will be part of their Year 7 pupils, and do not want to rely entirely on the assessments made by primary schools, and therefore have entry tests. Within the catchment area, they choose the local elite of children which will help them carry on to gain the excellent results at GCSE the school aims at, which are largely above national average results. Unfortunately, even some comprehensive schools use the same technique to hand-pick the best from the average pupils. This is known by British society and largely accepted, as many parents wish the best for their children.
However, in some less prosperous households in deprived areas, this competitive ethos is not found. Parents are more likely to lack a culture of self achievement and do not transmit these values to their children. Pupils are sent to comprehensive schools, where the expectations are lower, and it is in this kind of environment that the entitlement to languages at Key Stage 4 is at risk, as shown by the previous figures. To assess whether a school is within the boundaries of a less fortunate area, statisticians use the landmark of free school meals, which are only provided to families who live under the poverty threshold. Donald McLeod's article on the TES website illustrates this concern: "In 2003, 70% of schools with more than 10% of pupils on free school meals had made languages optional, as opposed to 31% of the rest. Some 67% schools with half or fewer of their pupils gaining 5 A* to C's at the GCSE had made languages optional, whereas only 38% of schools with higher attaining pupils had done so."
Pupils in comprehensive schools are set targets in all their subjects. They are set end of year targets, end of Key Stage 3, and GCSE target grades. Besides, in school Z, the Modern Foreign Languages department sets targets for pupils' levels of achievement for each half term.
Pupils after a few weeks in Year 7 take their CATS tests. The latter consists in a series of papers to assess their logic, Literacy and Numeracy skills. These tests are then used to provide predicted levels of achievement in Maths, English and Science. They are also used in some schools to set children in groups according to their ability, even in subjects like Modern Foreign Languages which are not directly related to these tests, although it seems to be assumed that a correlation can be drawn.
Then, in Year 9, they have SATS, in English, Maths and Science. Their performance is recorded but also used for further predicted grades and thanks to educational software provided by the Government like the 'Autumn package' or the 'Panda package', an estimate for their GCSE grades is made.
In Modern Foreign Languages, pupils sit end of year exams and end of unit tests in the four basic skills (reading, listening, writing and speaking) every half term. This is a common assessment pattern used in many schools in the United Kingdom. "While the amount of time and money soaked up in the process is an absolute scandal, the effect on our children and their view of what education is about is even more of a worry. Repetitive coaching, training and practice, along with a regime of mocks, trial tests and non-statutory pilots have put children on a treadmill of non-stop scrutiny. They're the most tested children in the developed world and, as a consequence, subjected to intolerable pressure – and we wring our hands when they seem to lose interest and motivation, leaving education earlier than their European counterparts."(education.guardian.co.uk). Indeed, it is fair to wonder whether pupils still can enjoy their time at school for the mere pleasure of learning something new and different. According to the same article, there is no evidence that the number of exams improves pupils' performances.
Besides, teachers have to deliver 21 hour long lessons a week and have four periods dedicated to planning. However, these periods can also be used by the school to cover lessons when colleagues are absent. The numerous assessments imply further time pressure for teachers into delivering the curriculum and to get pupils thoroughly prepared. It also generates a loss in the time dedicated to planning, as most of the non contact time is taken up by marking various assessments.
School management evaluates the instruction provided by teachers according to the results that pupils receive in the various tests. Teachers are themselves set targets by their line manager, who is usually their Head of Department. These can be related to pupils' performances at examinations. In the United Kingdom, teachers are not civil servants and their capability is related to pupils' achievement; all of this is directly linked to their opportunities to be promoted and to evolve professionally.
IV.3. Limited resources
In the United Kingdom, comprehensive schools are mainly funded by grants provided the Local Education Authorities which themselves are subsidised by the Government. The way budgets are dispatched between schools depends largely on the system in place for allocating money, which varies according to the Local Education Authorities. Some factors which are taken into account are the number of pupils on roll in the school, the size of the Sixth Form, and the achievement of the school in terms of exam results.
In Local Education Authority A, the main parameter which determines the financial resources offered is the number of pupils following the post 16 curriculum. School Z is within the administration of this Authority. There are about 180 pupils in their Sixth Form. The money available does not enable the Head Teacher to improve the school according to his development plans. The Modern Foreign Languages has had the opportunity of acquiring new resources even if the department exam results are far below the national results; in 2005, only 9% of the pupils gained a grade A* to C in their GCSE exams. However, the budget is dispatched in order to make progress in the areas which need it the most. Although other departments also need to expand their resources, Modern Foreign Languages appeared to be a priority. The Head Teacher's decision shows a deep interest for this area, which can only be praised considering the latest governmental choices, which relegate languages to an inferior position within the curriculum as it has become a mere entitlement. By making this decision of allocating an increased budget to Modern Foreign Languages, the Head Teacher of school Z makes a statement about his views on the subject. Additionally, the school tries to obtain additional funding by making a bid to gain a specialist status in engineering.
Schools in the United Kingdom have the opportunity to be granted further financial support by becoming specialist schools in varied fields such as sports, art, technology, information technology, business, or languages. Specialist languages schools, whilst making their bid, develop their department in order to show the existing resources and competences, and then, once the status is approved, they can expand the specific area, but also manage to bring general improvements to the school. For instance, Specialist Language School W managed to hire three Modern Foreign Languages assistants and each member of the department was provided with a laptop computer. The classrooms which had been recently refurbished were equipped with delta projectors, and a computer suite was built to fit their needs in Information and Communication Technology.
Their status, however, implies that Languages are compulsory for all pupils at Key Stage 4, and that pupils learn two languages at Key Stage 3. The department consists of eleven members of staff, and offers French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and Latin. Two new positions have been created since they successfully made their bid two years ago. Their achievement target for GCSE Modern Foreign Languages is 80% of pupils obtaining an A* to C grade. The school is located in a rather affluent area and the local community is extremely supportive.
In the Times Educational Supplement, 11 March 2005 issue, the efforts made by the Government to multiply the number of Specialist Languages are put forward: "Mr Twigg will announce today that the Government will spend £30m on increasing the number of specialist languages schools to 400 over the next five years. They will receive an extra £30,000 each year to help them to work with other schools. Schools with languages as their first or second specialism will get an additional £30 per pupil".
It appears that the way schools are subsidised is directly linked with the potential developments of each school, and that unfortunately in some cases, it is increasingly difficult for a school to escape from the vicious circle of the impossibility to expand further. Schools suffer from lack of money, test results do not improve, which places the school at the bottom of the league table, and therefore the school is not attractive to prospective pupils, which implies that the school does not benefit from additional help because the number of pupils on roll in the sixth form does not increase.
Staffing is another issue that undermines Modern Foreign Languages departments. Indeed, there are not enough languages teachers in the United Kingdom at the present time, and the current numbers of pupils taking up languages in post 16 education does not show any sign a potential growth. Universities face numerous closures of languages faculties due to very few applicants. As an incentive, the Government offers the students starting a Post Graduate Certificate of Education a £6,000 grant. And the loans of these students are written off. After Newly Qualified Teachers complete successfully their first year, and obtain their full teaching status, they benefit from a 'Golden Hello', which is a £ 4,000 allowance.
In Northern England, schools are so short staffed in Modern Foreign Languages that further incentives have been thought of to attract new staff. In April 2005, the French magazine Marianne published an article explaining that Hull University offered to train Modern Foreign Languages teachers in three and a half months and give them a 5700 EUR allowance to do so. As part of their training they spend a few weeks in France. One cannot help but wonder about the quality of the training received in such a short time frame, and whether the knowledge of the newly qualified teachers will be adequate enough to enable them to be efficient classroom practitioners.
Stephen Twigg, school standards minister, announced in 2005 plans to work towards the deficit in languages teaching staff, which now also need to be trained for primary school teaching, as it is part of the Government's new strategies for Languages. "More than £100 million is to be rushed into schools to help primary children learn foreign languages and halt the subject's worrying decline in secondaries" (TES, 2005: 1). On the other hand, as the numbers of pupils learning a language at Key Stage 4 or Key Stage 5 has been on a steady decline since the implementation of the Government initiative to change languages to an entitlement, that is to say an option for GCSE rather than a foundation subject, the number of members of staff Modern Foreign Languages departments has decreased.

Holy crap, we have a blog!
Regretfully I'm not conversant enough with the fine points of ACKS class design, or RPL at all, so I don't have much substance to add… would the characters lose the exasperation ability as they gain levels? It seems like it's a great way for the players to affect the module, sort of like Clinton Nixon's RPG Donjon.
The exasperation ability is permanent, and probably to your tastes: a wand-of-wonder-esque mechanic. Now that I think on it, you could phase it in by walking through the first two or three results before introducing the table. Good for effect, but probably dicing a bit too fine to cram into a 0-1 level progression.

Richard Andrew Palethorpe-Todd OBE (* 11. Juni 1919 in Dublin, Irland; † 3. Dezember 2009 in Grantham, Lincolnshire) war ein britischer Schauspieler irischer Abstammung.

Leben
Richard Andrew Palethorpe-Todd kam 1919 in Dublin zur Welt. Sein Vater Andrew William Palethorpe Todd war ein britischer Offizier und erfolgreicher Rugby-Spieler für das irische Nationalteam vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg.
Seine Kindheit verbrachte Richard in Indien, bevor die Familie ins englische Devon zog. Er besuchte die Shrewsbury School in Shropshire und später die Militärakademie Sandhurst.
Seine Liebe zur Schauspielerei war jedoch größer und so studierte er dieses Fach an der Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
Die frühen Jahre seiner Schauspielkarriere führten ihn hauptsächlich auf Regionalbühnen, bevor er 1939 das Dundee Repertory Theatre in Schottland mitbegründete.

Der Zweite Weltkrieg unterbrach seine Schauspieltätigkeit. 1941 wurde er zum Lieutenant befördert und diente ab Mai 1943 beim 7th Parachute Bataillon der britischen 6. Luftlandedivision. In der Nacht vom 5. auf den 6. Juni 1944 war Todd einer der ersten alliierten Soldaten, die im Rahmen des D-Days in Frankreich landeten. Bei der Operation Tonga diente er im Rang eines Captain in Major John Howards Einheit auf der hart umkämpften Pegasusbrücke und verteidigte diese bis zum Eintreffen der von Lord Lovat geführten Entsatztruppe. Diese Begegnung wurde nach dem Krieg in zwei Filmen dargestellt, bei denen jeweils Richard Todd als Schauspieler mitwirkte. Im Film Der längste Tag (1962) von Cornelius Ryan stellte er sogar Major Howard dar.

Nach dem Krieg ging Todd zurück zum Dundee Repertory Theatre. Danach debütierte er im Londoner West End in der Rolle des Lachlan MacLachlan im Theaterstück The Hasty Heart (dt.: Gezählte Stunden) von John Patrick. Nach einem Zwischenspiel am New Yorker Broadway kehrte er wieder nach England zurück. 1950 erhielt Todd eine Oscar-Nominierung und den Golden Globe Award als Bester Nachwuchsdarsteller für die Kinoversion von The Hasty Heart. Einer seiner Kollegen in diesem Film war der Amerikaner Ronald Reagan, der 30 Jahre später Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten sein sollte. Die beiden verband eine tiefe Freundschaft.

Anfang der 1950er-Jahre hatte er, beginnend mit Robin Hood und seine tollkühnen Gesellen (1952), Hauptrollen in drei von Walt Disney in Großbritannien produzierten Abenteuerfilmen. Weite Bekanntheit erlangte er 1954 in der Rolle des Wing Commander Guy Gibson in Michael Andersons Film Mai 1943 – Die Zerstörung der Talsperren (The Dam Busters). Ursprünglich sollte er, nach dem Willen von Ian Fleming, den ersten Film-James Bond verkörpern, da er dem blauäugigen, aristokratischen Agenten weit mehr als Sean Connery entsprach. Später änderte Fleming seine Meinung, nachdem Connery beim Vorsprechen für die Bond-Rolle durch seine überaus hervorstechende und männliche Gangart überzeugte.

Weitere Auftritte im Fernsehen hatte Todd in Virtual Murder, Silent Witness und Doctor Who.

Todd war zweimal verheiratet und zweimal geschieden: Von 1949 bis 1970 mit Catherine Grant-Bogle, einer Kollegin beim Dundee Repertory; das Paar bekam einen Sohn, Peter, und eine Tochter, Fiona. Von 1970 bis 1992 war er verheiratet mit Virginia Mailer; auch hier wurden zwei Söhne geboren, Andrew und Seumas. Seumas (1977–1997) starb durch Suizid; auch sein Sohn Peter (1952–2005) aus erster Ehe tötete sich selbst.

Zuletzt lebte Todd auf einem Bauernhof in Lincolnshire, England.

Die Walt Disney Company ernannte ihn im Jahr 2002 zur "Disney Legend" ("Disney-Legende").
