Senior & Sixth Form Curriculum Drama & Theatre Studies
Drama & Theatre Studies (KS3, GCSE and A level)
Drama is thriving at Bruton School for Girls, with numerous performances being staged throughout the year. Our vibrant productions play an important part in the life of the school and include large-scale school plays and musicals, GCSE and A level plays, devised theatre, Hall performances and pantomimes. A large range of theatre is covered, from classics to the latest contemporary plays.
Our Hobhouse Studio Theatre is a 100-seat venue, fully professionally fitted with theatre lights, sound system and digital projector. A charming performance space, it maintains the atmosphere of a small professional theatre. The Hobhouse Studio Theatre is in constant use for Drama lessons, workshops and performances. We often include film within our performances, and students thoroughly enjoy going 'on location' for a spot of film acting.
Our annual school play is eagerly anticipated by students and staff alike. Drama is an inclusive subject, and every student who wishes to be involved is welcome, whether onstage or behind the scenes. Staff members love to jump on board with the show, whether it be playing in the orchestra pit, make-up design or stage management. Our whole-school productions have been performed in our Assembly Hall, Hobhouse Studio Theatre and even in the open air on our Magnolia Lawn.
Drama forms part of the curriculum for all students in Senior 1, 2 and 3. It is also a popular subject at GCSE and A level, where we gain outstanding results. The Drama department offers Speech and Drama lessons as an 'extra' to students in Prep 4 through to the Upper Sixth. This is highly popular and many students take LAMDA examinations Grades 1-8 and beyond in a variety of dramatic subjects. These include Acting, Devised Performance, Musical Theatre, The Speaking of Verse and Prose and Public Speaking. Most students pass their Bronze, Silver and Gold medal examinations with Merit or Distinction, gaining valuable UCAS points which can count towards university entrance.
Students across all year groups see a wide range of professional theatre locally in Bath, Bristol and Salisbury, as well as further afield. Our annual GCSE and A level theatre trip to London's West End is a highlight in the school calendar as we take in a matinée and an evening performance, as well as a spot of shopping in Covent Garden and dinner in a West End restaurant. A level students also enjoy trips to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. We often invite theatre practitioners to hold workshops with students, exploring both acting and technical theatre.
What our girls say
"Drama gave me the ability to speak and express myself with confidence in front of an audience." Meghan, S4
"If you love all aspects of the theatre, then Drama is the course for you. It is demanding but very rewarding and enjoyable."

Home Solar News San Antonio Recognized As Solar America City
San Antonio Recognized As Solar America City
San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger says that the city of San Antonio has been designated as a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar America City. Through this partnership, San Antonio receives financial and technical assistance to fund solar energy initiatives that are designed to facilitate mainstream adoption of solar energy and will serve as a model for other cities.
San Antonio is home to the largest currently installed solar energy project in the state of Texas at the historic Pearl Brewery, according to the city. The $1.35 million project includes the installation of a 200 kW PV array on a 67,000 square-foot facility used for office, retail and residential use. In addition, municipally owned CPS Energy has demonstrated its commitment to solar with a 100 MW request for proposals.
The Solar America Cities program was created to accelerate solar energy adoption in the nation's electricity load centers. In addition to providing financial assistance, the DOE offers hands-on assistance from technical experts to help integrate solar technologies into energy planning, zoning and facilities. The process is meant to streamline local regulations and practices that affect solar adoption by residents and businesses.

Your heartbeat is as unique as your fingerprint
Forget facial recognition! Researchers around the world have found new ways and technologies to keep an eye on you. Lasers that can detect your heartbeat or your individual microbiome are already being developed.
The fight for the future of facial recognition is in full swing. But this is just the beginning. Far more intrusive surveillance methods are being developed in research laboratories around the world.
In the US, the cities of San Francisco, Somerville, and Oakland recently banned the use of facial recognition by law enforcement and government agencies, while in Portland the discussion is about banning the use of facial recognition entirely, even by private businesses. Some thirty private organizations representing more than fifteen million members have come together to call for a general ban on facial recognition by US law enforcement agencies.
In the UK, revelations that the London Metropolitan Police secretly provided facial recognition data to the developers of Kings Cross Estate for a secret facial recognition system sparked outrage; an inquiry was demanded. The office of the Information Commissioner has launched an investigation into the legality of the program. However, the scandal happened to coincide with a landmark judgment by the Cardiff High Court holding that the use of facial recognition by the police in South Wales is legal – a decision that is likely to be challenged.
When it comes to state surveillance, facial recognition is only the tip of a huge iceberg, however. If stricter rules for the use of facial recognition are adopted, it is possible that we will simply switch to one or more of the other types of surveillance technologies currently under development. Many are just as invasive as facial recognition, if not more so – and possibly even harder to regulate. Here is a look at some of the technologies looming in our future.
The way you walk?
The rapidly growing field of behavioral biometrics is based on recognizing individuals based on their patterns of movement or behavior. One example is the recognition of a person's gait, which may be the next big surveillance technology, especially if facial recognition becomes subject to more stringent regulations. This technology is already being tested by police in China, which is often the leader when it comes to finding new ways to monitor people – whether they like it or not.
There are several ways to recognize a person by his or her gait. The method that is being tested by the Chinese police is based on the technology developed by a company called Watrix, and uses video from surveillance cameras to analyze a person's movements while walking. In a recently awarded patent, Watrix describes a method of training an AI system using a convolutional neural network that allows thousands of data points to be analyzed about a person as he moves, from the length of his stride to the angle of his arms. They then use these parameters to identify people by their "gait record." Watrix claims that its systems achieve up to 94 percent accuracy and that it possesses the world's largest database of gait records.
With the visual gait recognition methods developed by Watrix and others, people can be identified from a distance, even in crowds or on the street, in much the same way as facial recognition works – which means it could represent a quick and easy substitute if facial recognition would ever be prohibited. Increasingly, many video surveillance systems are collecting multi-modal biometric data. This means that they may be using both facial recognition and gait recognition simultaneously, which theoretically should increase both the accuracy and the ability to identify people who are facing away from the cameras.
Another way to identify people through their gait is based on sensors embedded in the floor. Researchers at the University of Manchester have used data from 20,000 footsteps taken by 127 different individuals to create a neural network and identify 24 different factors, such as how a person's cadence progresses and the time it takes to move from one heel onto the next. Using this system, they were able to identify people with an accuracy of over 99 percent in three "real" scenarios: at work, in the home, and at security checkpoints at the airport.
According to the researchers, the advantage of this type of identification over visual systems is that it is less invasive and less prone to being disturbed by objects or other people obscuring the camera's view. Or in other words: the people being monitored don't recognize that they are under surveillance. People do notice that they are being watched by cameras, but they won't be aware of sensors in the floor.
Surveillance by heartbeat
Your heartbeat and breathing patterns are as unique as your fingerprint. A small but growing number of remote sensing technologies are being developed to detect vital signs from a distance – signals that pass through skin, clothing, and in some cases, even walls.
In June, the Pentagon announced a new laser-based system that can identify people from a distance of up to 200 meters. This technology, dubbed "Jetson", uses a technique known as laser Doppler vibrometry to detect surface movements caused by your heartbeat.
The goal is to be able to identify an object within five seconds by its cardiac signal or "heartprint". For the moment, however, the Pentagon system still has a number of limitations. For example, the target person must be standing still, must be wearing only light clothing (thicker clothes, such as an overcoat, can disrupt the signal), and above all, there must be a clear line of sight between the laser and the target.
Coats, walls, even stones and debris are no obstacle, though, to a completely new surveillance technology. Researchers are working hard to develop radar-based systems that can track vital signs for a variety of other purposes, from non-invasive patient monitoring, to supporting medical diagnoses, to assisting in the search for survivors in search and rescue operations.
Read the complete article here.
Who are we? How do we live today? And how will digitization change our lives? How the future will unfold is preoccupying society more than ever, with engineers, doctors, politicians – each one of us, in fact – seeking answers. This report on new surveillance technologies is one of many contributions that shed light on the theme "Digitized Society" from a new, inspiring perspective. We are publishing them here as part of our series "Impact".

Ukraine's Election Commission registers Kliuyev as candidate running for parliament in majoritarian constituency in Donetsk region
The Central Election Commission (CEC) has decided to register Andriy Kliuyev, the ex-head of the presidential administration of Ukraine during Viktor Yanukovych's presidency, as a candidate running for parliament in majoritarian district No. 46 in Donetsk region.
The CEC adopted such a decision at a meeting on Tuesday by a majority vote in pursuance of the decision of the Supreme Court.
As reported, on June 23, the CEC refused to register Kliuyev as a candidate for parliamentary elections in single-mandate constituency No. 46 in Donetsk region. He was nominated by the Liberal Party of Ukraine.
Kliuyev's lawyer Yuriy Sukhov said on July 1 that the Ukrainian Supreme Court had overruled the Central Election Commission's ban on registering Kliuyev as a candidate in the Verkhovna Rada elections campaign.
Kliuyev is suspected of abusing his office and conspiring to embezzle public property in the period from May 2010 till April 2011. The Kyiv Pechersky District Court allowed the Prosecutor General's Office to start a pretrial inquiry into Kliuyev's actions. He was summoned for questioning as a suspect on June 26. According to the Ukrainian Security Service, Kliuyev is currently residing in Russia.

A total of three studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of different packaging systems and storage times on reduction of Listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat meat snacks. Study 1 was conducted to determine the effects of four packaging systems [heat sealed (HS), heat sealed with oxygen scavenger (HSOS), nitrogen flushed with oxygen scavenger (NFOS), and vacuum (VAC)] and storage times (24, 48, and 72 h, and 14 and 30 d) on reduction of L. monocytogenes in turkey jerky in the presence or absence of sodium nitrite. Inclusion of sodium nitrite in turkey jerky did not affect (P>0.05) L. monocytogenes log reductions regardless of packaging type or storage time. After 14 d of storage in HSOS, NFOS, or VAC, and 48 or 72 h in HS, a reduction of >1.0 log CFU/cm² of L. monocytogenes was achieved. Processors could use HS in conjunction with 48 h of ambient storage and be in compliance with the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service Listeria Rule of post-lethality treatment in achieving at least 1 log reduction of L. monocytogenes. Study 2 was conducted to investigate attachment of L. monocytogenes to uncured and cured turkey jerky packaged in HS, HSOS, NFOS, or VAC using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The SEM examination showed that L. monocytogenes is capable of adhering to uncured or cured turkey jerky surfaces. Elemental maps from EDS analysis revealed that no element was unique or elevated at sites of L. monocytogenes attachment. Elemental composition showed the presence of elemental sulfur and could be an indication of the presence of sulfur-containing amino acids in turkey jerky. Finally, Study 3 evaluated the affects of two packaging types (HSOS and NFOS) and four ambient storage times (24, 48, and 72 h, and 14 d) on reduction of L. monocytogenes on five commercial RTE meats and poultry snacks (beef tenders, beef jerky, beef sausage sticks, pork jerky, and turkey sausage sticks). A mean reduction of >1.0 log CFU/cm² of L. monocytogenes was achieved on all products, regardless of packaging or storage time. Correlation analysis provided some indication that reduction of L. monocytogenes increased with fat content. However, the strength of linear correlation was not sufficient to account for the differences in log reduction in L. monocytogenes. In study 1, a holding time of 24, 48, or 72 h for HSOS or NFOS packaging of was not effective for reducing L. monocytogenes by at least 1 log on turkey jerky. In contrast, packaging beef tenders, beef jerky, beef sausage sticks, pork jerky, and turkey sausage sticks in HSOS or NFOS for at least 24 h ambient storage was sufficient to achieve at least 1 log reduction in L. monocytogenes population. Specific components such as sulfur-containing amino acids in turkey jerky might be contributing to <1 log reduction of L. monocytogenes population on turkey jerky after 24, 48, or 72 h of ambient storage. Overall, nitrite was not an effective ingredient to control L. monocytogenes in turkey jerky. However, packaging such as HS, HSOS, NFOS or VAC and at least 24 h holding time were effective hurdles for controlling L. monocytogenes at post-lethality.


It was rumored, it's made official and now it's here. The long anticipated Galaxy S7 smartphone is set for launch coming FEB 21st in Barcelona, and the launch kicks off a day before MWC 2016. The South korea company has already published a teaser video on YouTube titled "Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2016 – #TheNextGalaxy". No much detail on the video, just a guy on the company's Gear VR headset ready to unpack the box.
The hashtag will soon be a trend, so it's advisable for Galaxy fans to trend the hashtag "#TheNextGalaxy". The company also said, "Get ready to rethink what your phone can do for you".
Specifications-wise, the Galaxy S7 smartphone will feature a 5.1 inches display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution. However, the smartphone is likely to adapt the iPhone 6S 3D touch features which gives it a perfect experience and new dimention of functionality.
What's our take on Galaxy S7 Camera?
The Galaxy S7 camera will be brewed in a brand new britecell camera with low light improvements, a 12MP 1/2.0″ sensor precisely with a 5MP front facing camera suggested. According to passed rumors, the Galaxy S7 smartphone was to feature the 16MP clear camera just like it's predecessor, but it's now clear that Galaxy S7 is gong to drop down to 12MP with better light improvement compared to the Galaxy S6 device.
It's clear that the Galaxy S7 smartphone will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box and powered by the Exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 820 chipsets depending on the variants. However, the smartphone will be outed in single honor "Galaxy S7", Plus honor "Galaxy S7 Plus", Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7 Edge Plus. The smartphone will be a perfect gaming device.
Of course, we'll know that the price depends on the variant to be purchased, and their will be open contract for pricing…. No word or tags yet, but we can still make a guess on price. How about $50 addition to the Galaxy S6, and same addition goes to every higher variant… you know what I mean.
Please check back on this post, so we'll keep you guys updated with the full specifications and price tagging of the Galaxy S7 device. Your suggestions are welcomed… comment freely.


Sunday night in Marrickville, hidden in an unsuspecting alleyway, lie one of Sydney's most underrated venues which tonight is the home of the most recent Aussie break out band; Between You & Me!
The support lineup consisted of a beautiful celebration of Australia's Alternative scene. Opening the night, playing to a surprisingly full room, we had On The Verge and Turn South. Both acts leant more towards the alternative side of the night; providing grunge vibes and the ideal energy build for an all ages crowd of excitable punters. A sure highlight being Turn South's single 'Maybe' being a total crowd pleaser, and for good reason; they're quite the talented bunch.
Swiftly following is Sydney natives Yours Truly, who have honestly been on every good line up for the last 3 months, so really who's surprised to see them pop up again. As per expectation these guys pull off a flawless performance (barring a poor broken guitar strap) that could easily translate to much larger venues. Playing a well balanced discography including new single 'High Hopes", the band easily had the crowd in the palm of their hands. Keep an eye on these guys because they're clearly on the up and up this year.
Now personally I've had the pleasure of seeing Between You & Me a handful of times, however since last time I'd seen them play they've been signed to Hopeless Records, released a masterpiece of a pop punk record and headlined a Japan tour… in my last review when they opened for Tonight Alive, I told you they'd blow up quickly and this is where I smugly say "I told you so".
Regardless I had no idea what to expect from their live show this time around, but based off the palpable excitement from the now packed room, it was going to be a good one.
The set itself comprised of a blended mix of their debut album Everything Is Temporary and their 2016 EP Paper Thin; 'Trees In The Winter' being a particular personal highlight. BYAM are just one of those bands that don't just match their studio sound, they transcend it. The new album was done so much justice and the energy of the band elevated the vibe to a whole new level of sweaty excitement. The set finished off with a crowd surf from none other than vocalist Jake Wilson and a packed out room of punters leaving wearing elated yet exhausted expressions. If you ever get a chance to see these guys play, definitely don't turn it down or you'll be missing out.

Mentoring and finance for widening access offer some hope of success
Mentoring and finance for widening access offer some hope of success. Download .pdf file
The most recent data from HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) on widening participation at our universities shows that little has changed over recent years. The proportion of young students entering from lower participation areas has remained virtually static at around 11% in recent years. It appears that efforts by many institutions to improve the situation are not working well. Yet there are numerous voluntary organisations offering advice and mentoring that are independent of the universities. These are making headway and may indeed be preventing the numbers from backtracking. However, without financial and other incentives, the situation is unlikely to improve. Some more radical suggestions have emerged this week and they merit serious consideration.
Earlier this month HESA released their latest statistics on widening participation at UK Higher Education Institutions (HESA Widening participation summary: UK Performance Indicators 2018/19: 13th February 2020). The data shows the percentage of young (<21 years old) first-year students entering in 2018/19 from POLAR 4 Quintile 1 low participation areas (see *NOTE below). However, although 'UK' is in the HESA title, the data does not include Scotland's Universities as the Scottish Government does not use POLAR methodology in measuring access. Note that the situation in Scotland is very similar, as reported by TEFS 30th August 2019 in 'Widening access in Scotland at WARF factor three'. Despite this omission, the picture looks bleak across the UK. The overall percentages have not improved from the previous year and by very little since 2015/16 (Table 1).
Spreading the load and the benchmark trap.
The widening participation profiles across our institutions are not evenly spread. Just as dropping out after a year is more likely in post-92 universities (see TEFS 21st February 2020 "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out": Why are more UK students dropping out?'), these universities also take more students from low- participation areas.
Figure 1 shows how this is spread across institutions. The first thing obvious is that there is a lot of red for post-92 institutions (included here are all the former Polytechnics and Colleges that became universities after 1992) on the right-hand side. Many of these have been set high benchmarks to aim for and some even exceed the level set. At the other end of the spectrum are the Russell Group Universities in blue that inhabit the left-hand side. Despite being set lower benchmark levels, they mostly fail to meet the targets. They are accompanied by the green older pre-92 universities in many cases. The grey bars represent a range of smaller institutions, such as music and art colleges and private universities. The problem is that benchmarks are set very low for many of the elite universities and they, therefore, only aim to get close to what is set. But the overall benchmark for parity of access is logically at 20%, as shown in the purple line. Very few exceed this target and the grey line shows the current mean of 11.4% that illustrates the extent of the task ahead. There seem to be two areas where a shortfall is apparent. Firstly, in advice and mentoring and secondly, financial assistance. Both should be in place if they are to complement each other and offer a way forward.
Outreach and mentoring our way out of a corner.
All universities have an outreach programme that seeks to improve the numbers of students from low participation areas. On the face of it, this seems a noble effort. However, we should not forget that their aim is to improve their own institution's profile. There is thus a fine line between encouraging students to think about 'university' in general as an option and raw 'marketing'. There is a vast amount of information available for would-be students, but it can be confusing to navigate. Those with families experienced in universities get ready advice at home, whereas others seek advice elsewhere. The counterbalance to such a marketing strategy is provided by numerous organisations that offer independent advice. These seem to be gaining some traction over time. Organisations such as the Education Endowment Foundation, The Access Project, NEON, Impetus, Career Ready STEM and Dell Stem Aspire offer a wide range of advice and help. With such a range of information available, then mentoring must be added to help in decisions as well as offering more encouragement. Schools clearly encourage and offer mentoring for their students, but it seems more is needed to bear the load of work needed. One to one mentoring is part of many schemes and this seems to be effective in improving confidence and aspiration. The question raised concerns the likelihood of a deficit in advice and help that needs to be filled.
This week, the mentoring organisation Brightside released an analysis of its progress between 2009 and 2017. This was a sub-sample of over 130,00 students they have helped online since 2003. It shows that one to one mentoring online is having a positive effect. A summary of their report, The power of online mentoring: Students three times more likely to access Higher Education indicates that they considered POLAR Quintiles 1 and 2 combined. The national average of students from these areas going to university is 24%. The Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT) database of 9,253 students registered with the Brightside programme was used to see the outcome. An amazing 77% of these students progressed onto university as opposed to 44% of all students in the HEAT database. This shows that Brightside is filling a clear deficit of advice and help that is not available otherwise.
University is a now a financial risk for many students.
There seems little doubt that the availability of finance and projected lifetime debt means that many would-be students will tend to be cautious. Value for money will be a key factor for students whose families have little for them to fall back on. A detailed report for the Department for Education last year summarised very well the dilemma faced by many students under financial stress ('Impact of the student finance system on participation, experience and outcomes of disadvantaged young people: Literature review May 2019'). There are many reasons why students will be both cautious and consider value for money.
A fascinating webinar from the survey firm Youthsight earlier this week added to the sense of caution that Generation Z students have acquired. A substantial 41% of their large survey panel (total of 157,630 Millennials and Gen Z) of people born since 1995 did not see a positive financial future. The majority are risk-averse and job security was more important than money for 53%. More telling was that 'employability' was the second most important reason, after subject interest, for going to university. It is therefore no coincidence that the Government is pushing for more data on employability to be available to students. However, they must not ignore the idea of social benefit and 'job security' that also attracts interest from students. A report out today from the Institute of Fiscal studies for the department for Education ('The impact of undergraduate degrees on lifetime earnings' and data and methodology) highlighted the dilemma that students face in their choices. Using HESA statistics and tax records, there emerges a highly authoritative report. So much so that prospective students will take the premium on offer for certain subjects very seriously. The headline media attention focussed upon the fact that 'One in five students lose money by going to university'. Over their working lives, men earn substantially more than women on average. Subjects such as medicine, economics, mathematics and law out-perform subjects such as creative arts and social care. More concerning are the differences between types of university. There is a substantial premium in earnings by studying at a Russell Group University compered to pre-92 universities and then post-92 institutions. Although not fully analysed in the report, there is a clear implication that more students from low participation areas attend the post-92 universities and gain the least in earnings (see Figure 1). Simply put, they invest the most to see the least gain in the long run. To do well, it seems you are best paced if you are male, advantaged, attend an elite university and opt for professions such as medicine, law or engineering.
A deficit in funding and financial incentives.
To counterbalance the financial risks, and to provide some better incentives for poorer students, some imaginative solutions also emerged this week. A report from the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), 'Making Universities Matter: How higher education can help to heal a divided Britain' proposed a 'First-in-Family Allowance' so that those with parents who had not studied for a degree did not pay fees in the first year. Added to this was the idea of a substantial "£25 million each per annum for five years to build on the National Collaborative Outreach Programme". Current UCAS data indicate that 541,240 students entered university in 2019. Reports from 2017 showed that around 50% of students were the first in their family to enter a university that year. The cost of a first-year 'First-in-Family Allowance' subsidy could, therfore, come to around £2.5 billion per year at current fee levels.
We should also consider the many calls for the restoration of maintenance grants, as proposed in the Augar Report, 'Post-18 review of education and funding: independent panel report' from last year, (see TEFS 30th May 2019 'Augar stirs up the system: The ripples will go far beyond his remit'). This would be a clear incentive for poorer students. However, the calls have fallen on deaf ears. Again, the clue to the deafness might lie in the cost to the exchequer. A report for parliament last year on 'Student Loan Statistics' calculated that around £3.5 billion was spent on grants per year up to their abolition in 2016/17.
The idea of reducing fees for some students might seem like a good incentive, but most evidence points toward the high cost of living and accommodation being a major disincentive. Many stay at home and commute to lower these costs. For those with family support, TEFS has calculated that their families subsidise students to the tune of around £2.3 billion per year. However, many students from various backgrounds find that they must also work part-time to make up a financial deficit whilst studying. To bring the time in employment down to 10 hours per week would cost around £1.18 billion per year (see TEFS 29th November 2019 'The cost of equalising the HE experience'). There is no low-cost solution whatever the strategy.
The progress in making access and success in Higher Education in the UK equal for all has effectively stalled. The tremendous efforts by schools, universities and many organisations appear to work in promoting access, but realising it is another thing. One to one mentoring seems a very productive route. However, this might be effectively a way of 'treading' water' and simply keeping widening access afloat in the face of the many financial burdens for students. It might be considered more sensible to offer better financial support for those taking the most risk by going to university. Then widening access and mentoring schemes would be in a stronger position to offer a lifeboat to get into rather than a life vest to stay afloat in.

*NOTE. POLAR refers to Participation of Local Areas and there are now four versions. The data used here is based upon POLAR Version 3. The POLAR3 classification is formed by ranking 2001 Census Area Statistics (CAS) wards by their young participation rates for the combined 2005 to 2009 cohorts. This gives five quintile groups of areas ordered from '1' (those wards with the lowest participation) to '5' (those wards with the highest participation), each representing 20 per cent of UK young cohort. Students have been allocated to the neighbourhoods on the basis of their postcode. Those students whose postcode falls within wards with the lowest participation (quintile 1) are denoted as being from a low participation neighbourhood.

Qfqual builds a concrete wall: UPDATED
UPDATE 8th August 2020 Things are moving fast today with severe criticism mounting about Ofqual and SQA, and urgent action is needed. TEFS has laid out ten points that should be considered to reverse out of the crumbling mess. Fairness should replace 'maintaining standards' as the primary objective. The government must cease trying to defend a system that acts as a barrier to the less advantaged. Since posting yesterday, things have been moving fast. Today the Guardian put the examinations issue in large print on its front page with 'Nearly 40% of A-level result predictions to be downgraded in England' . This conclusion came about after some great detective work by former medical statistician, Huy Duong, who analysed the data available and reconciled this with the Ofqual announcement that there could have been a 12% inflation in higher grades. It seems that Ofqual have been caught red handed and "Duong's findings were privately confirmed to the Guardian by ex
Ofqual and the finger of blame
This week confirmed beyond any doubt that Ofqual is pointing the finger of blame for the public examinations chaos this summer firmly at the government and its ministers. The positions of Schools Minister, Nick Gibb and Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson must be on the line. When Williamson is confronted by the Education Committee next week, like Momus he may find his mask has slipped and cannot lay blame anywhere else. He might be meeting his Nemesis and find he is expelled from his lofty position. Called to account. On Wednesday morning, Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, Education Permanent Secretary, Susan Acland-Hood, and Director for Qualifications, Michelle Dyson, will be called to account by the Education Committee. With the redoubtable Robert Halfon in the chair, they will face a hard time. This is because Halfon and his colleagues will be armed with more documentary evidence from Ofqual and others that look bad for both ministers. All of the correspo
Bring back Augar and put students first to offer hope: UPDATE Augar speaks out
UPDATE: Augar Speaks out Today, Friday 8th May 2020, Philip Augar broke cover and commented on the financial crisis in our universities in the Financial Times. With ' The time is ripe to reform UK university finance' he acknowledged that "Covid-19-related disruption may now mean that such a fee cut would be too destabilising" . He is looking to a new post-COVID-19 world and he must be listened to. The likelihood of the government's response to his report last year diverging far from its recommendations looms. Augar has offered alternative options for funding Universities in his article for the Financial Times today (8th May 2020). His input is welcome at this time and the government should be bringing him into the fold again. TEFS has argued for a comprehensive review of university finances that goes well beyond simply looking at students and fees with: "Therefore, a working group involving students (such as NUS), staff (such as UCU) universi

Роберт Крайс начинал свою карьеру как сценарист телевизионных шоу и сериалов, как например, «Блюз Хилл-стрит», «Кегни и Лейси», Quincy, M.E., «Полиция Майами», «Закон Лос-Анджелеса». Крайс живет в доме в горах Санта-Моники, Калифорния, вместе со своей семьей.

Влияние
По словам самого Роберта Крайса, литературное влияние на него оказали писатели Рэймонд Чендлер, Дэшил Хэммет, Эрнест Хемингуэй, Роберт Паркер и Джон Стейнбек

Биография
Роберт Крайс родился в 1954 году Батон-Руж, штат Луизиана, США, в 1976 году уехал в Голливуд, где начал писать сценарии для сериалов «Блюз Хилл-стрит», «Кегни и Лейси» и «Полиция Майами». За сценарий «Блюз Хилл-стрит» он был номинирован на премию «Эмми».

В 1980-х годах Крайс решил оставить телевидение и попробовать себя как романист. Ранние его попытки оказались неудачными, но смерть отца в 1985 году сподвигла его на создание персонажа Элвиса Коула, прототипом которого его отец являлся.

San Diego Board of Supervisors OKs adoption of regional voting model
Published October 19, 2021 at 6:56 PM PDT
Michael Schuerman
The County Administration Building is shown with the San Diego County Water Park in the foreground, June 27, 2015.
UPDATE: 7 p.m., Oct. 19, 2021.
The county Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously adopted a regional model that will allow residents to receive a vote-by-mail ballot, and replace traditional polling locations with regional vote centers.
Board Chairman Nathan Fletcher made the proposal for the regional model, which is outlined in the California Voter's Choice Act. He thanked his colleagues for their support.
"Our democracy is stronger when more people participate in our elections, and today's action helps us drive closer to achieving that goal," Fletcher said. "Establishing regional vote centers and expanding the use of mail-in ballots will remove barriers to voting, make voting more convenient and ensure all voters can participate in fair, accurate and transparent elections."
The changes will be in effect for the June 2022 gubernatorial primary election. All active voters will receive a ballot with pre-paid postage, which can be returned by mail, at drop-off locations or the vote center. Vote centers will be open for four days including Election Day, and some vote centers will be open up to 10 days prior to Election Day. Vote centers can also offer replacement ballots, language assistance and same-day voter registration.
According to Fletcher, the centers have been shown to support increased voter participation amongst historically marginalized communities of color and youth.
Fifteen California counties, representing nearly 50% of California voters -- including Los Angeles County and Orange County -- have already moved to the vote center model.
The Secretary of State has confirmed 10 additional counties that will transition to VCA in 2022. These include Alameda, Kings, Marin, Merced, San Benito, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Ventura and Yolo counties.
The 25 counties that have already transitioned or will transition to the VCA in 2022 represent a total of 13,604,289 registered voters, or nearly 62% of California voters, as of Aug. 31.
During Tuesday's meeting, Fletcher and other supervisors said there must be robust public outreach so residents understand exactly how the regional model works.
Supervisor Nora Vargas said that the last two elections -- in which many voted by mail due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- showed the regional method was successful.
Other counties that switched also saw higher rates of voter participating by all groups, said Vargas, who said the regional method was also a racial justice and civil rights issue.
In the coming months, the county Registrar of Voters will hold public meetings and workshops to educate residents.
Supervisor Jim Desmond -- who said he previously suggested vote centers, especially for unincorporated areas -- said that because everyone receives mail-in ballots, the proposal was "kind of moot at this point."
Desmond said he hopes there will be enough voter center locations to benefit everyone, and added that community outreach is needed to address the concerns of skeptical residents.
"Everybody needs to figure out how this is going to work," Desmond said.
Helen Robbins-Meyer, chief administrative officer, said it was very important that public outreach also include redistricting maps -- which are being redrawn in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Census -- so people understand who their new representatives are.

These notes apply to all ferroresonant transformers made by Advance Electronics Ltd. at Wrexham.
The transformer consists of insulated copper wires wound onto an insulated former subsequently assembled onto steel laminations.
Advance power conditioners are double-wound transformers with tested secondary isolation from the mains. In addition high voltage capacitors are added into a resonant circuit configuration.
Advance provides detail installation instructions for all models and care should be taken to use them.
It is practical to meet the fundamental safety needs and yet retain a high level of earth integrity with a little care at the planning and wiring stages.
The transformer must be correctly installed according to the requirements both of the latest edition of local wiring regulations and manufacturers recommendations.
Specifically proper in-line fusing or other suitable protection must be installed. Output voltages can be as high as 650 volts and suitable RCCD protection and proper insulated fittings must be used in accordance with the needs of the application. The internal capacitors may run at 660 volts ac and are lethal when operating. The capacitors are safe when the unit is switched off SO LONG AS THE'CAPACITOR TO WINDING' CONNECTIONS are SOUND. Only authorised and trained personnel should attempt repair.
The unit is incapable of delivering more than 2 or 3 times its rated current in a failed mode and a maximum of less than 75% of its rated output voltage.
The steel stack of the unit may reach 120 Deg C (60-80 Deg C above ambient) in normal air flow and precautions must be taken when repairing or testing exposed units.
The exposed stack on small units does not reach an unsafe temperature but may feel quite warm to touch. All units should be well ventilated as power ratings assume natural air cooling.
Once completed and all solvents have been burned off the transformer is chemically benign.
The capacitors contain paper insulation soaked in transformer oil which is relatively odourless and harmless to human skin. Although messy this oil is only found if a capacitor leaks through some internal electrical fault in the capacitor. If the capacitor is leaking the transformer is faulty and should be switched off. Historically PCB's have been used in the capacitors but Advance has not used any since about 1972.
All the transformers have a high density and suitable precautions should be taken in respect of the size under consideration.
Audible noise at 50 Hz is emitted at different intensities depending on unit size. Levels range 45 - 65 dBA. If other higher frequencies are present - checks should be made for potential faults.
Advance power systems can be wired in several different configurations.
In cases where more than one 240 volt phase is to be connected into one enclosure attention must be given to external safety labelling. The wiring regulations demand that 415 volt warning labels be affixed in visually prominent positions after installation. Suitable labels are enclosed if appropriate and replacements are available on request from Advance at no charge to systems customers.
During recent months an application problem has arisen with some types of UPS.
The problem specifically relates to customer loads which have self-adjusting voltage power supplies. This type of power supply looks at the incoming mains and typically sets itself to either 115 or 230 Vac. If driven with any current limiting source such as a CVT or CVT based UPS the power supply sets itself to 115 V and then is promptly supplied with 230 V which usually means destruction of the customers' power supply.
Customers who have selected products with a load using this kind of SMPS should select a CVT which corresponds to the lower voltage input rating of the power supply or ensure that the CVT/ UPS is switched on before the load. Most of the equipment we have seen with this type of 'world wide' power supply is small and rated below 1 kVA for razors and portable TV sets.


UFO Aliens living at AREA 51 since 1947 complain about The Olive Garden restaurant.
Home → Damien Zone → UFO Aliens living at AREA 51 since 1947 complain about The Olive Garden restaurant.
They've been there since 1947 after their saucer crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico and for the most part they have been quiet and helpful, but recently the "Grey 7" have started to complain about the food.
"It all started when they built an Olive Garden Restaurant about 100 miles from the Alien Being Detention Center (ABDC), " said Commander Lukas Hastings, 83, who has been with the aliens since he was a 20 year old private. "The guys come and go with all kinds of aircraft in and out of here and sometimes they bring in take-out food from the Olive Garden.
"At first the aliens could only eat baby food and okra, but in 2008 their digestive systems finally adapted and they started to take a liking to take out food fit for humans. Okra is not fit for humans and we do not consider baby food to be fit for humans but we give it to babies because they don't know any better. Funny thing is now that I am 83 and have IBS and BPA and DVT, I have to eat baby food.
The aliens agree with Commander Hastings, but sald doesn't seem to be their only gripe.

Our Four Roses tasting event held on September 29th, 2016 was a huge success. Thanks in part to The Rookery restaurant and Four Roses Bourbon. This recap of the event comes to us from our own contributing writer Jordan Leasure.
Chicago Bourbon hosted their inaugural Four Roses tasting at the Rookery last month and it was a huge success! We were at capacity with just over twenty thirsty participants and everyone left with a lot of knowledge, a satisfied palate, an amazing swag bag and a little surprise to close out the night! Being seven months pregnant I didn't get to participate but I did have a fantastic front row seat to the action.
Four Roses has been a good friend to Chicago Bourbon over the years. We just got back from a trip to Kentucky and a backstage tour of their new distilling plant. We learned some great history which Chicago Bourbon founder and host William Reigle was able to share during the tasting and some terrific stories about getting the new 40 foot still into the building. Or rather building the distillery around the still!
It's always the goal of our events to provide more than is anticipated and the Four Roses/Rookery event was no different. Arunas Ingaunis, Ambassador at The Rookery, welcomed guests at 7pm with a cocktail including Four Roses Yellow. Attendants were able to mingle, snack on appetizers and meet our founder and host for the evening William Reigle.
A few things William taught us that evening were that there are no wrong answers when it comes to nosing and tasting Bourbon. We're all individuals, have different experiences and will pick up on different things. What he did outline is that we need to pay attention to five characteristics. How does the Bourbon look, smell, taste, feel and sound?
Sound: Does it speak to you?
To begin nosing William recommended raising the glass to your chin and slowly bringing it to your nose until you can smell it. Inhale with short breaths through your nose, while keeping your mouth open. Take your time and appreciate the bouquet. Up to 95% of our perceived taste comes from our sense of smell. Spend some time nosing the glass before taking that first sip. And continue to nose as you drink; nuanced notes will change as time passes.
When you move to tasting you want to do it as gradually as you did the nosing. Take a small sip, swirl it around your mouth and then just hold it without swallowing. After swallowing take another larger second sip. Then inhale through your mouth and nose. Take note of what you notice. Wet grass, chocolate, nuts, butterscotch, vanilla, cherries. As you switch from sample to sample or drink to drink do something funny….smell your arm! It will reset your sense of smell and allow you to discriminate between the samples.
On tap for the event were the 3 Four Roses staples which we nosed, tasted and were educated on. Four Roses Yellow, Small Batch, and Single Barrel. William taught us the nuances of both the scent and taste as well as the best uses of each. Those in attendance ran the gamut in bourbon experience. From novices who never really understood bourbon but had a deep appreciation upon leaving; to those in the industry including Bourbon.com founder David Wieland and our own Chicago Bourbon contributor, Jacqueline Rice.
Left to right: Four Roses Yellow, Small Batch, and Single Barrel.
Yellow is the most readily available of the Four Roses catalog. It's perfect to mix in drinks, whether in an Old Fashioned or Boulevardier (a bourbon Negroni). Yellow is bottled at 80 proof. It has a nose of sweet fruit, vanilla, butterscotch, and sugar. With a light palate consisting of those same notes without too much spice or heat.
We then moved on to Small Batch which is a blend of four of the ten Four Roses recipes (OBSO, OBSK, OESO and OESK). It has a slightly higher alcohol content at 90 proof. A nose of cherry, rich fruit, cocoa, and vanilla come through. There is less forward sweetness and more of a rich velvety sweetness on the palate. This one is more complex in character than the Yellow.
Our last installment from the Four Roses catalog was Single Barrel. It is just one recipe from one barrel and bottled at 100 proof. The standard bottling is always the OBSV recipe. William favors this recipe but I like to shake it up with the Private Selection OBSO. Which is funny because I'm not typically a rye fan and this recipe is heavy rye. But it is described as slightly fruity, and a little spicy. Just how I'd describe myself! You might see a "Private Selection" Single Barrel which is hand-picked, by Binny's for example. We had the chance to taste different recipes straight from the barrels at Four Roses, which I highly recommend. Those can be any of the 10 recipes. The Single Barrel has a complex nose of a blend of fruit and rich cocoa, very well-rounded with strong chocolate on the palate and a deeply evolving finish.
The evening concluded by William surprising us all by bringing out an impossible to find bottle of Elliot's Select – personally selected for Four Roses by master distiller Brent Elliott. It is a Limited Edition, single barrel bourbon and this was Brent's first limited edition release as master distiller. Brent Elliott, who assumed the post of master distiller in September 2015, hand-selected the 14-year-old OESK, one of the Distillery's 10 unique Bourbon recipes.

It was a fun night, informative and entertaining. Everyone learned a little more about William and Chicago Bourbon as well as the current Four Roses catalog. We had some help in making the evening so unforgettable. Thank you to Daniel Dugo with Joseph's Florist, Brian Krieger with Four Roses and the proprietors and entire staff of The Rookery.

Joe Biden to Promote Agenda at (Another) CNN Town Hall

President Joe Biden on Thursday will feature in another CNN town hall, his third with the ratings-challenged network in a little over six months. Anderson Cooper will be asking the questions at the Baltimore event in front of a special, hand-picked audience.
CNN announced the live broadcast production, which will air at 8 p.m. ET and last 90 minutes, is set down for a yet to be revealed venue.
Biden has already participated in two CNN town halls since taking office – one with anchor Anderson Cooper in February and another with Don Lemon in July.
The president is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh the day prior to deliver remarks promoting his massive spending agenda and the public appearance comes at a critical time for his political aspirations.

Biden is meeting with lawmakers all this week to negotiate both aspects of his stalled proposals — a troubled economic package to expand social spending alongside a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
On Thursday, the day Biden takes part in the town hall, Vice President Kamala Harris will be campaigning for gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe in nearby Virginia, a source familiar with Harris' event told CNN.
Biden has limited time to wrangle Democrats behind a solution before he departs for a trip to Italy – his second international trip since becoming president – to attend the COP 26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, and the Group of 20 (G20) summit.

Biden will also travel to Scranton, Pa., on Wednesday to pitch his $4.7 trillion economic agenda.
He also told reporters Monday he would be having words with Sen. Joe Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, who has objected to the price tag of the sprawling economic proposals.
The president's backers are hoping his Thursday appearance in Baltimore will engage more viewers than his previous efforts with CNN and deal with issues that resonant more with voters rather than alienate them.
Back in July he sparked fury when he talked about a "push to eliminate" 9mm pistols that have an ammunition capacity beyond that of which the left approves, as Breitbart News reported.
Biden said, "The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it's a 9mm pistol or whether it's a rifle, is ridiculous. I'm continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things."
That night failed to shake up cable ratings as the left-leaning CNN and its tame guest languished in the shadows of Fox News and MSNBC for primetime hours.
The town hall, moderated by CNN anchor Don Lemon, garnered just a little more than half the amount of the total viewers Fox News had at the same time, finished third in ratings for the night, falling just behind MSNBC.

Drivers must slow down at beach gate
Aug. 3, 2010 Updated: June 17, 2016 5:23 p.m.
I am writing this letter concerning the safety at Calf Pasture Beach.
I am concerned about people going through the gate at a high rate of speed. For some reason, people choose to ignore the two stop signs at the entrance. Most people slow down, but the people that don't concern me. As you enter, a little way up the road, there are people crossing with children.
So far we have been lucky -- no accidents. I'm hoping this letter makes people think about slowing down or stopping. I said speeding, meaning going too fast for the area. I am a gate attendant and I've seen where there could have been a disaster. We welcome you to the beach so I hope once again that when going through the gate, think about this letter.

For honesty, integrity, it's Merkle
This Tuesday, Aug. 10, Republicans of the Fourth District in Connecticut have an historic opportunity (the last primary was more than 20 years ago) to decide for ourselves who we want to run for the congressional seat against Jim Himes in November. I have spent the past 11 months researching, meeting and speaking with all of the candidates. Three of them are now left. For me the choice is clear.
Rob Merkle represents the honest, no-nonsense values that we are desperate for in Washington. Anyone that has met or spoken to Rob will agree. He is the choice to beat Jim Himes and to represent us. Rob will not waiver in his values or compromise his principles in the interest of expediency. Rob Merkle will fight for the constituents of the Fourth District.
Rob will fight against the out of control spending and ever expanding government. Rob Merkle will fight to secure our borders. Rob will fight to defend our constitutional rights. Rob will do all of this with honesty and integrity. I urge anyone reading this that believes in American exceptionalism and wants real conservative values to get out and vote for Rob Merkle on Aug. 10 and bring as many friends and family members as you can to also vote for Rob Merkle.

Malloy is the kind of leader state needs
I turned 18 on July 24, and the first thing I did was register to vote. I did this not only because it was an important milestone in my life, but because I could not wait to have a say in local elections.
One of the races I am especially excited about is the race for Connecticut governor. People my age may not realize its importance, but this particular election will have a major impact on our future as Connecticut residents. Growing up in Stamford I was only aware of one mayor, Dan Malloy. Dan is the kind of leader who not only welcomes people into his office but also reaches out to the community. Even though I was only 12 on Sept. 11, 2001, I remember that day as if it were yesterday. I especially remember when my mom had to pick up a family member at the train station, and when she came home, she told me that Mayor Malloy was greeting people who were getting off the train from New York City to make them feel welcome and safe. This truly shows the kind of leader that Dan is. He is caring, smart and compassionate, and will do whatever it takes to make sure that people are living in a safe and vibrant community.
Mayor Malloy built Stamford into the economic center of Connecticut. During his time in office, two of the world's largest trading floors here were built here. We also have tons of restaurants, shops, cultural activities and jobs downtown which all came together during Dan's time in office.
I urge my peers to appreciate the importance and significance of this special privilege we have to vote in this crucial election. I really believe that we, as the future generation of Connecticut, have so much riding on its outcome. I want to be a citizen in a state where I can watch a real leader in action -- someone I have seen turn ideas into reality. I want to see all of Connecticut experience what Mayor Malloy's leadership has achieved in Stamford. We owe it to the man who has made me proud to call Stamford my home. Dan Malloy can be governor if my generation comes out to vote.

Debicella has the experience needed
Voters in Fairfield County will have the choice of polar opposites in the upcoming November congressional election. One alternative is to continue with the failed policies of the stimulus, the government takeover of health care, the profligate spending in Washington, the huge deficit, and the tax increases that are sure to come. The other alternative is smaller government, reduced spending and financial sanity that will come with the election of state Sen. Dan Debicella as our congressman in November.
Dan Debicella is the Republican Party-endorsed candidate with 77 percent of the delegate vote at the state convention. His two major opponents, state Sen. Robert Russo and Easton First Selectman Tom Herrmann, both dropped out of the race and are supporting Dan Debicella. Neither of Dan Debicella's opponents in the Republican primary, Rob Merkle and Rick Torres, obtained sufficient delegate votes to participate in a primary but obtained the necessary signatures to force a primary. Neither has ever held elected public office. Dan Debicella is a second-term state senator who has been fighting hard against the supermajority in Hartford to bring fiscal conservatism to our state.
I urge you to vote for Dan Debicella on Tuesday, Aug. 10. He has demonstrated through his business experience, his legislative experience in the state Senate and his positions on the issues that he is the only Republican candidate who will truly represent his Fairfield County constituents and who can defeat Jim Himes in November to restore fiscal sanity to our country.

Jennifer Lawrence Says Darren Aronofsky Would Not Stop Talking About mother! While They Were Dating
by Evelyn Wang

In the saga of Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky's erstwhile romance, it seems as if everything circles back to mother! It began after the filming of mother! and ended, a year later, after the theatrical release of mother! And now, it turns out that it may have been nothing but mother! all day, every day. According to J.Law's "Actors on Actors" Variety interview with, of all people, Adam Sandler, the auteur just wouldn't shut up about his controversial film while they were dating.
"Dating the director was different, because we'd be on the tour together," she said. "I'd come back to the hotel, and the last thing I want to talk about or think about is a movie. He comes back from the tour, and that's all he wants to talk about. I get it; it's his baby. He wrote it; he conceived it; he directed it. I was doing double duty trying to be supportive partner while also being like, 'Can I please, for the love of God, not think about mother! for one second.'"
"And then he would start reading me reviews," she continued. "I finally was like, 'It's not healthy. I'm not going to do it, because if I read it, I start getting defensive.' Especially because it's my man. I don't want to sound in an interview that I'm defending what we're doing in any way. It's awesome, what we did. The people who hate it really hate it. But it's nothing that needs to be defended. If I read a negative review, I just feel defensive."
Though, Lawrence didn't dwell on Aronofsky for too long, and the conversation soon turned to Sandler's work. Would you be surprised to learn that Lawrence is a fan? When Sandler reveals he hasn't read reviews since Billy Madison, Lawrence was quick to defend him.
"You put your whole soul and body — you move to shoot a movie, you do all of this," she tells Sandler. "You love it, obviously. You wouldn't be there if you didn't love it."

BBC crew breaks 'interference rule' to help dying penguins
By Danielle Cinone

David Attenborough's crew doesn't normally interfere with nature — but penguins in danger called for a change in rules.
"It's very rare for the film crew to intervene," Attenborough, the show's creator, said in a video clip published by Country Living. "But they realize that they might be able to save at least some of these birds, simply by digging a few steps in the ice."
In Sunday's episode of "Dynasties" — a new series from BBC Earth — a number of Emperor penguin mothers and their chicks were seen struggling to get out of an icy ravine in Antarctica.
After seeing some chicks die from the exceptionally cold weather, the crew decided to dig a ramp resembling steps.
It wasn't long after that the penguin's decided on their one to make use of the manmade ramp.

Without the film crew's act of kindness, the trapped penguins wouldn't have stood a chance.
"It's such an unusual circumstance to do this," Mike Gunton, the series executive producer, told BBC. "And there are lots of situations where you couldn't, and shouldn't and wouldn't — but I think in this situation there were so many factors.
"There were no animals going to suffer by intervening. It wasn't dangerous. You weren't touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this... they had the opportunity to not have to keep slipping down the slope."
Although Attenborough supports the crew's life-saving decision — and would've done the same — he still stands by his rules.

"All you're doing is prolonging the death. So, you make things infinitely worse. Tragedy is part of life and you have to show it. You can't have sunshine throughout your life," Attenborough told reporters.

In this lesson, you start the MobiLink server using the mlsrv12 -c option to connect to your consolidated database. You use additional options to configure MobiLink server behavior.
At a command prompt, change to the c:\MLintro\ directory.
The MobiLink server messages window appears.
Below is a description of each MobiLink server option used in this tutorial. The options -o, -v, and -dl provide debugging and troubleshooting information. Using these logging options is appropriate in a development environment. For performance reasons, -v and -dl are typically not used in production environments. For a complete list of MobiLink server options, see MobiLink server options.
Specifies the connection string to the consolidated database.
Specifies the message log file mlsrv.mls.
Displays all log messages in the messages window.
Sets the communications protocol for the MobiLink server, indicating which port to listen on and what network protocol to expect from MobiLink clients. The default port for TCP/IP is 2439.
The -zf option should be used for debugging and development purposes only. This tutorial requires the -zf option so that you do not need to shut down the MobiLink server when adding new scripts to the consolidated database in a later lesson. The -zu+ option automatically adds new MobiLink users to the synchronization environment.
