Frederik Heyman's (°1984) work is a balancing act incorporating multiple media. Heyman's various background is clearly visible in the working process. He likes to approach his world from the same point, but the outcome can vary in a totally different mix going from video, installations and photogaphy, preferably in a digital altered environment. In each image every element and action are carefully designed and defined in advance.This reflects in his commissioned works as well in his personal, more eclectic oeuvre.
In his recent work, Frederik Heyman uses photogrammetry to stage digital worlds out of relics of the past. Because one needs time to experience three dimensions, a 3D-scan is a bearer of duration. This duration gives Heyman's work a narrative element which is often amplified by (mechanically induced) movement and timed text.. For Heyman, the 3D-scan is not only a means to conserve the past, but also a means to recycle the present and an attempt shape the future.
Heyman explores the desire to overcome humanity. Currently Heyman is researching how different cultures use of images to design memories; ultimate attempts to capture a person or event. These images, whether based on fact or fiction, ask us how we want to remember.

Stoke Spurs Preview – Tottenham reunited with Charlie Adam
Spurs travel to the Britannia Stadium this Saturday for a Premier League meeting with Stoke City. Tim Sherwood will be looking to build on last weeks win at Fulham, a decent result but an unconvincing performance. With persistent rumours that the Spurs coach will be replaced in the summer, these last three winnable games provide a chance for Sherwood to prove his ability, with a view to finding another management position.
Tottenham can also cement sixth place to guarantee Europa League football next year. Some cynics would suggest missing out on this competition may be a positive – Liverpool's fantastic performances in the league this year have shown the benefit of a lack of European distractions. On balance, I would still like Spurs to be in Europe, especially as the winners of next seasons competition will earn a Champions League place.
Stoke have had a successful season by their standards, and sit comfortably in mid-table. Mark Hughes, who took over in the summer, has rebuilt his reputation after a stormy spell at QPR. Following on from the seven year reign of Tony Pulis was never going to be easy, but he has coped well.
The midlands club are in good form, with only one loss in their last eight games, a 3-0 reverse at Stamford Bridge. In that run they have picked up 17 points from a possible 24, including wins against Newcastle, West Ham and Arsenal.
Hughes has subtly changed the team's style of play. After regularly featuring at the bottom of the possession and pass success tables under Pulis – his Palace team currently sit bottom of both – they now are now mid-table. However, he has retained the aerial prowess and aggression. The potters have committed the most fouls in the league, sit fourth in tackles and are comfortably top in aerials duels won.
Stoke normally line up in a 4-2-3-1, with Spurs old boy Peter Crouch as the spearhead of their attack. The tall front-man is their top scorer in the league with eight goals, with five assists. They like to get in wide positions and put crosses into the box, so Tottenham's centre backs will have to be strong in the air.
Odemwingie and Anautovic pose a threat going forward, while Charlie Adam will worry Spurs after a history of disgraceful tackles against us, the most recent of which saw Paulinho sidelined for several matches. After that incident, serial social media user, Sandro, took to Instagram and Facebook to send the message: 'Charlie Adams – THE BEAST IS WATCHING YOU'. There are even suggestions that Spurs players may refuse to shake the midfielder's hand in the prematch lineups.
Stoke will be without Etherington and Huth, while Pieters has been suffering from an illness. Spurs will miss long term injury victims Walker and Lamela. The Argentine has apparently recovered from his back problems but is still not match fit. There is a remote chance he may make an appearance before the season end, which would be important, both for his confidence and the morale of the supporters; even if it is just a cameo appearance as a substitute.
Vertonghen and Dawson may return, while Capoue is back in training. The big Frenchman is another player I would like to see back in the side. He has had a turbulent start to his career at White Hart Lane but I think he could be a real asset. At his best he has the destructive power of Sandro but much better ball skills and distribution, important in a modern deep lying midfield player.
It will be interesting to see if Sandro returns to the squad after last weeks twitter controversy. I would keep Harry Kane and Adebayor up front, but pick a more defensive midfielder to partner Eriksen in the centre – maybe Dembele, Bentaleb or even the young Veljkovic. Playing 4-4-2 with a core of Chadli and Paulinho is far too open away from home.
I would drop Rose and put Fryers at left back. If fit, Dawson's heading ability would be useful against Peter Crouch. Lennon has improved in the last two games, and was involved in creating goals in both matches, so has finally justified his place in the side.
Here's my team:

agreed with you on your defense and strikeforce. Man, i can't wait to see how Ade and Kane will fare against Stoke's physical approach. A lot of people compared Kane to Sheringham in the beginning of the season and though i did not really believe in the hype, i can slowly the similarities.
As for left back, watch Tim pull a Tim and have Rose there and then getting manhandled by Arnautovic or Odemwingie…

Kane has been a revelation, I really didn't think he had it in him. It will be interesting to see if he can keep it up, especially against some better teams.

Home > News > Gates Open To Norco PRIMEX 2021
Posted: 21st May 2021
Posted in: News, PRIMEX Events, Program
Norco PRIMEX, Australia's sustainable farming and primary industries expo, was welcomed back today by a bumper opening day crowd.
"We have beaten the odds," said Norco PRIMEX Director Bruce Wright.
"It was so important to restart the momentum post-Covid, not just for the event, but for the thousands of businesses, primary producers and members of the general public who are part of PRIMEX."
"To see so many people here today … to see the arena so vibrant again, is just fantastic, but also a major relief."
Like almost every event in 2020, PRIMEX was put on hold – the first time since 1985, that the primary industries expo had not gone ahead at its Casino, northern NSW, base.
Wright took a major gamble in forging ahead with plans to re-start PRIMEX.
"Basically, we had to start from scratch 12 weeks ago," he said.
"But it is worth it. The overwhelming feedback I am getting from patrons and exhibitors is 'It is great to see the PRIMEX banners back'."
This was the sentiment echoed by those at today's official opening.
Member for Clarence, Chris Gulaptis, who officially opened PRIMEX 2021 said: "This is one of the feature field days in the Northern Rivers and certainly is very important to Casino and the broader region.
"People have been locked at home during the pandemic. They have put some cash away and now they want to get out, meet people and spend some money. They want to engage and PRIMEX is a wonderful opportunity to do just that as well as injecting an amazing amount of cash into the Casino economy."
Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow said: "This is great for the whole region. And you can tell by the turnout today that people want to get out and about.
"To Bruce (Wright) and the PRIMEX team it is wonderful to see you back. This is a brilliant organisation to deal with and the fact that the gates to PRIMEX are once again open is a great outcome for the local economy.
"I have no doubt the community will continue to respond over Friday and Saturday."
There are many standouts at this year's PRIMEX. One of the highlights, local celebrity chef and co-owner of Three Blue Ducks at The Farm, Byron Bay, Darren Robertson, started his cooking demonstrations today in front of a packed Southern Food Court.
Robertson is a staunch advocate of events like PRIMEX.
"This (PRIMEX) is more important than ever before, especially for anybody involved in the food industry," he said.
"It has been a tough year or two with all the curve balls that have been thrown, so it is such a relief and a joy to be part of any festival where we can share our stories, innovations and involve the communities of the Northern Rivers.
"The Northern Rivers is a globally recognised food bowl. It is diverse in terms of its climate and we are spoiled in terms of producers and chefs and have been for many years, but there has been a growing spotlight in recent years.
"I am still discovering farmers, producers, distillers, brewers. And festivals like this are a testament to how well these people are now working together."
Wright said the list of attractions at PRIMEX continues to grow.
The Paddock To Plate presentation, is again one of the most popular arenas at PRIMEX.
"This is a part of Primex we have really focused on," said Wright.
"And it has paid off. You have a selection of produce from one of the world's best food bowls being presented to an extremely enthusiastic crowd.
"Overall PRIMEX will result in about $50million in sales and an injection of about $5million into the local economy through accommodation, meals and the like."
Primary industry exhibitors remain the bedrock of PRIMEX. Typifying this in 2021 is a resurgence in earthmoving equipment exhibitors – one of the biggest displays in a decade.
Outdoor leisure is also proving to be a popular destination for visitors.
In all there are about 300 exhibitors at this year's PRIMEX, with more than 20,000 visitors expected across the three days of the event.
"Considering what has happened over the past 12 months, this is a fantastic result," said Wright.
"It is great to be back."
PRIMEX continues Friday and Saturday from 9am to 4pm.

Q: Множественный маппинг url для REST API Работаю над приложением, у которого все url идут с адресом "/someurl.htm". Если я меняю в @RequestMapping на "/someurl", то браузер все равно перекидывает на .htm.
Ситуация осложняется тем, что в приложении уже есть несколько перехватчиков в web.xml:
Этот периодически проверяет наличие лицензии у пользователя.
<filter>
    <filter-name>EncodingFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>ru.someTh.AllRequestsFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

              class="ru.someClass">
        </bean>
    </mvc:interceptor>
</mvc:interceptors>

DispatcherServlet (при попытке изменить *.htm все летит)
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>springservlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>springservlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Я пробовала решить проблему несколькими способами:

*

*Сделала bean mapping с указанием url и класса контроллера.

*Написала Filter с проверкой URI

*Написала сервлет:
 <servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>teachersList</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/api/teachers</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
 List<Teacher> teacherList = referenceDao.loadTeachers();

 String json = new Gson().toJson(teacherList);
 response.setContentType("application/json");
 response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
 response.getWriter().write(json);}

Последний вариант был самым "успешным" - приложение выдало ошибку null, до этого вообще никак не реагировало.
В принципе хотелось бы узнать, как сохранив старые jsp и .htm ввернуть в код url для JSON, минуя авторизацию и проверку лицензий

A Multinational Manufacturer and Supplier of Cement and Mineral Components
Automating Mexican peso receivables to reduce days sales outstanding and create a solid competitive advantage
One of the market leaders in cement production across Europe, Australia, Asia and Latin America, this company manufactures, distributes, and markets cement, ready-mixed concrete, and other products and services for the construction industry.
J.P. Morgan Mexico solved the firm's reconciliation problems, helping the client to migrate its over-the-counter collections into electronic receivables. This resulted in improved product delivery times and service
J.P. Morgan Host-to-Host offers clients an advanced cash management solution through a single, secure online portal that seamlessly integrates all treasury activities using a single authentication process
J.P. Morgan implemented a host-to-host receivables delivery information system by which the company receives updates every 15 minutes
The organization was looking to streamline its account receivables (AR) process and to substantially reduce non-identified payments, decreasing days sales outstanding (DSOs) and positively impacting its working capital. In addition, the company wanted to reduce checks and cash deposits by migrating these collections into electronic wire transfers so as to reduce costs and improve client experience.
Mexico Landscape
J.P. Morgan includes the payer name, tax identification number and the remitter account in each transaction in order to help the beneficiary to identify the payment and determine the payer.
The J.P. Morgan Solution
Virtual Reference was the solution provided by J.P. Morgan, streamlining the collections process and expediting product delivery
This solution included a range of unique reference numbers (RNs) assignable to each payer. These unique RNs were in the Mexican interbank account CLABE format for electronic fund transfers in Mexico. This format is 100% compatible with both Mexican clearing houses. Incoming funds are credited into a collections demand deposit account (DDA). The company can then clearly identify individual payers based on the uniquely assigned RN. That unique reference is the firm's deposit account for their clients.
J.P. Morgan also assisted the company with a fully automated information file delivery via Direct Transmission every 15 minutes
Virtual Reference allowed the company's clients to pay electronically instead of using cash and checks or over-the-counter payments via branches
Neither the local nor global banks in Mexico have a similar host-to-host receivable solution that would cover the company's semi-online operations.
Luis de la Serna, Mexico Treasury Services Coverage
J.P. Morgan's solution helped the corporation facilitate faster decision-making when releasing goods or extending further credit to its payers. Additionally, the Virtual Reference solution helped reduce the time and administrative costs resulting from reconciliation problems
Dedicated time by the accounts receivables team to identify payments was reduced to ~3% from ~40%, and non-identified payers have fallen to 7% from 20%
Once the company solved the payer identification issue, it started a campaign to migrate collections from checks and cash into wires and ACH payments

My Husband, Warm the Bed – Chapter 85
Kevin Kyle raised his head and looked at everyone. His glance was as cold as ice and made everyone scared. After judging that the situation was not in her favor, Madonna wanted to sneak away. "Miss, you hurt my wife. Do you think you can leave like this?" Kevin Kyle said. Immediately, a security guard blocked Madonna's way. "President Kyle, I did not hurt your wife, it was her…" Madonna still wanted to argue, but when she saw Kevin Kyle's cold eyes, she became scared and shut her mouth immediately Kevin Kyle added, "Nick, I don't want anyone involved in this to stay in Innovative Tech. And those who insulted my wife will be held with legal responsibilities." After saying that, he held Karen Daly's hand and walked away. When Karen Daly wanted to take a step, she screamed out in pain due to her sprain. "What's wrong?" Kevin Kyle asked immediately. "I sprained my foot" Karen Daly said. As soon as she finished her sentence, Kevin Kyle knelt down on one knee in front of Karen Daly in front of everyone. He took off her high heels and held it in his hand. He stood up again and grabbed her by her waist. Ignoring everyone else, he turned around and strode away Karen Daly's head rested on Kevin Kyle's chest and snuggled in his arm like a kitten. Three years ago, when she had to face all of these alone, no one was willing to stay by her side. She turned around in a very pathetic manner every time when she had to face this alone. Three years later, when she faced this situation again, Kevin Kyle was by her side, and he was willing to believe and protect her. She felt that she was very lucky to meet Kevin Kyle in her life among people from all walks of life! After Kevin Kyle left with Karen Daly in his arms, everyone reacted, and everyone's eyes were full of surprise. What did their director say just now? Did he say Karen Daly was his wife? May Lily stared at the direction in which Kevin Kyle and Karen Daly left together, and she exclaimed, "It turned out that Mrs. Kyle was Karen Daly who was just working in our business department." William Baker also remembered what Karen Daly said a few days ago. She said that she was married. Actually her husband was their president. After being surprised, everyone broke out in cold sweat, especially those who had a share in insulting Karen Daly. Amelia Gray left with Kevin Kyle, while Nick Black stayed behind to deal with the matter. The company wanted to reward the staff, but no one expected it would turn out to be such a mess caused by the clowns. Nick Black looked around and said, "Since all of you like to cause so much trouble, we'll talk about what's going on today." Nick Black looked at Madonna again and smiled indifferently. "Can you afford to offend Mrs. Kyle? Before you want to mess with someone, see clearly with your eyes first. Madonna knew that she was in trouble now. She panicked and hurriedly looked at Sunnie Olsen for help. "Manager Olsen." Sunnie Olsen was as cunning as a fox. She already thought of a way of escaping herself before Madonna went looking for her. Once Madonna failed, she would definitely drag her down too. She must be careful when dealing with Madonna's trick, she should not leave any evidence of conspiring with Madonna. Even if Madonna testified against her, only a few people will believe her. Sunnie Olsen said, "Miss Madonna, do you need anything?" Judging from Sunnie Olsen's indifferent attitude and her tone, Madonna pieced the puzzles together. She had no evidence of Sunnie Olsen conspiring with her. If Sunnie Olsen denied it, she would be so embarrassed. After she knew Sunnie Olsen will not help her, Madonna looked around in the crowd to search for Emma Wilson, but Emma Wilson looked away after Madonna glanced at her. It was impossible for her to help. Nick Black did not give them any chance to defend themselves and called the police directly. He handed this matter over to the police to investigate, and trusted Simon Campbell to come out with a result. Of course, those who offended Mrs. Kyle would probably be imprisoned for more than half a year. Bahia Restaurant was just next to Innovative Tech office, and it will only take a few minutes to drive back home. After Mr. Watson sent them home, Kevin Kyle was still holding Karen Daly's high heels in his hands and lifted her in his arms back home. When they were waiting for the elevator, they met an old couple who lived opposite them. The old couple's children were overseas. The old couple lived by themselves, so they were enthusiastic when they meet young people. They stayed here for nearly three months now, Karen Daly always walked up and down the stairs every day. Occasionally, she would say hello to them when she met them. The old couple stared at Karen Daly, and Karen Daly felt embarrassed. She buried her head in Kevin Kyle's arms and did not dared to lift her head. The old lady said with a smile, "Little girl, why are you so shy? When we were both young, my husband used to carry me on the streets." The old lady said excitedly. Her man standing beside her coughed lightly and his facial expression changed. Karen Daly noticed that the women talked a lot, and the old man didn't like to talk. The old woman still liked to make the man blush even at this age. Karen Daly looked at Kevin Kyle quietly, but she could only see his well-defined chin. She could not see his expression, and did not know what he was thinking. He didn't say a word on the way back. She could only feel how tightly he held her. After listening to the old lady's words, Karen Daly felt that it was reasonable to be held by her husband. So she raised her head from Kevin Kyle's arms and smiled at the old lady. "Thank you, old lady. I know. After saying this, Karen Daly held onto Kevin Kyle's waist tightly with both her hands and snuggled her head against his chest She thought everything was fine, but she did not see Kevin Kyle's slightly blushed face. Reaching home, Kevin Kyle gently placed Karen Daly on the sofa, turned around and went looking for the emergency kit to treat Karen Daly. He squatted down in front of her and took off her socks. Karen Daly's feet were very pretty. It was fair and tender like a little baby, and looked very cute. He held her ankle with his warm hands, massaged it, and applied medicine on her feet. After looking Kevin Kyle's serious face, Karen Daly pursed her lips and looked at him. "Kevin Kyle, don't you care about my past at all?" Kevin Kyle looked at her and emphasized again, "Karen Daly, I have already told you that your past has nothing to do with me. What I care about is your future, our future." What should she do? Karen Daly felt like crying again. She was not someone who likes to cry, but she cried so much in front of Kevin Kyle, as if she wanted to show him all her sorrow. But in the end, she held back her tears. She cannot cry. She should smile more in front of him. She looked at him and smiled. "Our future." Kevin Kyle said, "We'll be together in our future." Karen Daly nodded heavily. "Yes." In our future, we'll both be there..

Q: Frames with JavaScript How can I manipulate using JavaScript (JQuery) a site, not in my server, that I loaded in a frame?

A: I'm afraid you can't. The Same Origin Policy prevents it.

The same origin policy prevents a document or script loaded from one origin from getting or setting properties of a document from another origin. This policy dates all the way back to Netscape Navigator 2.0.

the only conceivable workaround is to fetch the page through a proxy on your own web server, and do the JavaScript operations on that. This, though, will destroy any relative links on the page, and is therefore usually not a workable approach without a lot of work (fixing relative links, etc.)


Pick your own pumpkin from the vine that grew it.
Pumpkins don't get picked, they get adopted.
It is an amazing sight. Ten acres of farmland covered with orange. Typically over 100,000 pumpkins of every shape, color and size await. Children's eyes go wide with wonder and excitement as they first glimpse the pumpkin patch.
Choosing a pumpkin. No matter how ugly, bumpy, green, blue, pink or lopsided, every pumpkin finds a home. Watching thousands of people choose pumpkins has been a fascinating study in human behavior. Each person goes about it differently. Some get off the wagon, see a pumpkin and that's the one. Some search the patch for the biggest. Some search for the tallest. Some search for perfect shape. Some search for complimentary colors.
And not a single pumpkin picker is wrong. Pumpkins are like art; they are like us. Each is individual and is just perfect for the right person. Pumpkins get adopted, not picked.
Big tractors, big wagons, big fun.
We believe that people come to the farm to see things they don't see everyday, so we don't hook up the medium tractors. We hook up the BIG tractors. We the John Deere 8100 starts up, you can feel it rumble in your chest and kids go bonkers for it. The ride is included FREE with your visit, just pay for the pumpkins you pick.

Raphael Orlando Tate (born February 18, 1984) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer and bandleader.  His debut single "With Every Beat of My Heart" (released in late 2017) peaked at number 25 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs in America.

Early life
He grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland with 10 siblings. Tate's musicality originated from his religious family background.  He was inspired early on by his father Robert and his mother Patricia who lead worship services in their local network of churches.  His father also played saxophone and sang professionally for R&B groups before devoting himself to the church as an assistant pastor.  His older brother Joel is also a professional drummer and percussionist.

As a child, Tate was very quiet and shy, and struggled with the divorce of his parents.  As he entered high school, he discovered more confidence as his talents as both a musician and athlete began to develop at Crossland High School.  His performance on the basketball court earned him many scholarship opportunities to play in college.  Music performance, however, evolved into Tate's greatest passion.  He joined marching band in high school, and learned how to read, write, arrange, and compose music.  He started out as a percussionist and continued on to learn the tuba/sousaphone. Tate excelled rapidly on the tuba.  He accepted a music scholarship to attend Morgan State University in Baltimore County, Maryland.  During this period, he was featured in the (2002) film Head of State performing with a brass band composed of his colleagues. After college Tate travelled the world and eventually settled on the island of Cyprus.  He lived there for several years while developing his craft and ultimately matured into an all around producer, singer, and bandleader.  Eventually he was discovered by Eve Efrat (owner of Public Relations firm Arieli) and Jason Dauman.

Musical releases
Tate's song "With Every Beat of My Heart" was released in 2017 and (as of January 2018) has peaked at number 15 on the UK Commercial Pop Chart, and 25 on Billboard's American Dance Club Songs Chart. The song was originally written by Arthur Baker, Lotti Golden, and Tommy Faragher, and made famous by Taylor Dayne when she released it in 1989.  Tate remade the song with the help of Jason Dauman, Dave Audé, Joe Gauthreaux, DJ Lean, Scotty Boy, and Dan Boots.

Tate also recently released a single entitled "Back To Your Heart", as well as a cover of the Oliver Cheatham song "Get Down Saturday Night".

His single "Samba Comigo" recently charted on Billboard.

In 2020, he released a new single, "She Like Dat (Smile Again Riddim)".

In 2021, he released single entitled "A Fool in Love". "A Fool In Love" is a sampled from Big time British reggae, roots reggae band Aswad : produced by  Brinsley Forde's son, Recording Academy Grammy nominated producer Jermaine Ajang Forde.

Also he released a single in honor of his late mother Patricia Ann Tate's life and legacy being she passed away suddenly May 13, 2020 "Everyday is Mother's Day"

May 20, 2021 He released "Blessed"
Rapidly becoming a favourite among major music tastemakers in the UK and in his native US, Cyprus-based artist RAPHAEL TATE may be known as the 'Prince of Soul', but he has returned to his reggae roots for his self-written single 'Blessed'.
Over a rocksteady-style riddim, Raphael takes a step and reflects how fortunate he is for his life. 'Blessed' is also an ode for everyone to celebrate their time on this Earth, especially with the unprecedented times of 2020. Upon its release, 'Blessed' received a seal of approval from BBC Radio 1 Xtra's Seani B and Award-winning producer Jazzward on Seani's Spotlight Sessions.

July 1, 2021 BBC Radio 1 Xtra featured Raphael Tate for international Reggae day hosted by SeaniB. Singing a remix of Reggae & lovers rock Legend's Beres Hammond, hit "Rock Away", Tate, was saluted by the legend himself.

October 8, 2021 Raphael Tate released a new reggae song called Fear No Evil. 'FEAR. NO. EVIL' greets us with a sweet Champion riddim, reminiscent of the eighties, where the Maryland, United States born artist cast any negative entity aside, through a toe-curling soulful falsetto, encouraging others to stand up against obstacles of any form. Staring the devil right in the face, Raphael's latest single 'FEAR. NO. EVIL' has all the strength to blast any darkness/troubles away, firmly cementing his place on your radar.

November 20, 2021 American gospel Jazz musician Jeff Majors has paid homage to fellow jazz musician, the late Benard Ighner by revamping his 1974 Quincy Jones-produced single, Everything Must Change. Jeff Majors version of 'Everything Must Change features fast-rising soulful powerhouse, Raphael Tate who gives an outstanding heartfelt vocal performance, adding a glowingly magical touch to the record. Jeff Majors was in fact mentioned by a good friend - and Raphael Tate's father - Robert Tate, who was also a creditable jazz, R&B and soul musician who sang with The Unifics. After losing touch for many years, Jeff reconnected with Robert, where he learned of Raphael's burgeoning music career. Impressed by Raphael's artistry, Jeff invited him to collaborate on the re-make of 'Everything Must Change'.

April 15, 2022 Raphael Tate released "Share My Life" produced by Brinsley Forde's legacy, Recording Academy Grammy nominated producer Jermaine Brinsley Forde Ajang music and Terrence Chamberlin (Bluesteel Productions). The self-penned single is a reminder to love and cherish loved ones - and never take them for granted. Raphael's robustly soulful vocals leads the jubilant bounce of a soul/reggae/Afrobeat fusion, produced by Terrence Chamberlin (Bluesteel Studio) and Jermaine Forde (Ajang Music). A multi-Grammy nominated producer and the son of the legendary Brinsley Forde from Aswad and the star of the British film Babylon, Jermaine has worked with the likes of Julian Marley and Black Uhuru and also produced Raphael's 2020 BBC London/ BBC Radio 1Xtra-approved single, "A Fool In Love".

May 13, 2022 Raphael Tate released "Lord I Need You Near" composed by Raphael Tate. Following on from the release of single, 'Share My Life', produced by Jermaine Forde (the son of Brinsley Forde from the legendary reggae group Aswad), RAPHAEL TATE makes a quick return with single, 'Lord I Need You Near.'Dedicated to Raphael's mother, Patricia Ann Tate (1953-2020), 'Lord I Need You Near' is the first single that Raphael entirely composed and produced – from arranging the strings, writing the lyrics to performing the lead backing vocals. To be a conductor and composer has always been Raphael's lifelong dream – and what better way to fulfil a dream by paying a tribute to a loved-one.

The stunning ballad features a stellar line-up who adds the final touches to the production. Award-winning jazz harpist Jeff Majors, who collaborated with Raphael for 2021 single, 'Everything Must Change', provides the spine-tingling magic right from the beginning of the emotive piece. Acclaimed bassist Mark A Walker adds a pleasing full-bodied tone to the heavenly arrangements. Mark has worked with the likes of Will Downing, Queen of Contemporary Gospel Music, Yolanda Adams and multi award-winning Gospel artist, Richard Smallwood who had a hit with single, 'Total Praise.'

'Lord I Need You Near' was further brought to life by Ukraine's Kaska Records Orchestra who provides breathtakingly stunning live instrumentation, a perfect platform for the UK-based singer/songwriter to showcase his powerhouse vocals, pleading for comfort from the loss of his mother. This single also serves as a soothing ode for everyone who lost a loved one, particularly during the pandemic.

Personal life
He has a son named Micah Isaiah Tate.

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tate was unable to return to his home in Cyprus, and performed via live streams while staying with friends in the UK.

Not Far Enough: The Harry and Megan Interview
On March 7, 2021 Harry Albert David and Megan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, sat down with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview. The Duke and Duchess addressed a range of topics, most notably their time as a married couple in the British Royal family. While often referred to today as mere figure-heads, the British Royal Family still remains a significant part of British public life, particularly in the tabloids. The British tabloids and their invasive converge of the Royal Family are what's being cited as a major reason for Harry and Megan's departure from the Royal Family. Harry and Megan have now adopted what they are calling a hybrid model in defining their position in the Royal Family. They have forfeited their roles as senior royals and the monetary compensation they receive from that title but have said they will continue to support the Queen in their new roles. The recent interview focused significant attention on how British tabloids scrutinized Megan more than other members of the Royal Family, particularly by using headlines steeped in racism and dehumanizing rhetoric.
The tabloids, though, do not shoulder the blame for Megan's departure alone. It seems that the Crown had a chance with Harry and Megan's marriage to show themselves as a modern, progressive institution. However, they squandered that opportunity by not addressing the blatantly racist nature of the tabloid's coverage of Megan. Altogether, the stories written about Megan compounded by the Crown's silence on the racist nature of the coverage suggests that the British have not fully distanced themselves from their racist and imperial history.
To fully understand the pervasiveness of racism in Britain today, it is important to understand the British mindset during the colonial era. Britain began establishing overseas colonies in the 16th century and reached its peak in 1921, when it controlled roughly one-fourth of the land on Earth. At the time, the British characterized their colonization of lands as a right, which they based upon their supposed technological and moral superiority as Anglo-Saxons. This racialized colonization campaign led to the extinction of many peoples and their cultures. Those who survived the brutal battles that often occurred between British troops and local peoples were expected to adopt the culture of their conquerors.
While it is difficult to determine an exact end date of Britain's colonial periods, by the 1960s Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Britain's African and Caribbean colonies had gained independence. The end of colonization did not mean the end of racism in Britain though. Many of the deeply racist ideals of the colonial period remain engrained in British society to this day. Although these ideals do not manifest themselves in such obvious ways as they did during the colonial period, there is little doubt that they endure.
Most of the racist news coverage aimed at Megan Markle was subtle, only revealing itself when compared to the coverage of other, white, members of the Royal Family. Of course, some of the coverage was blatantly racist, like the headline that read, "Harry's girl is (almost) straight outta Compton" or the opinion piece that described Megan as having "some rich exotic DNA." While these instances of flagrant racist rhetoric from the British tabloids are shocking and upsetting, there are numerous, more subtle instances, where race likely played a role in the way Megan was covered. Both Megan and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, had articles reporting on everything from their shoes to the cradling of their baby bumps. The problem with these articles is the language used to describe Megan and her behavior. When taken in comparison to headlines covering Kate Middleton, the evidence that the British tabloids were particularly harsh, even racist towards Megan, is damning.
For example, the publication In-style reported that Megan wearing wedges was a break with royal protocol. However, when Kate wore the same style wedges as Megan, she was praised by the publication for the look. The favoring Kate while criticizing Megan for virtually identical actions was a frequent theme in the media's coverage of the new Duchess. In a piece that examines contemporary racism in Britain, William Shankley and James Rhodes identify that "racism does not result simply from overt or intentional forms of action or inaction, but is also present in the form of more covert and indirect policies and practices that produce racially uneven outcomes."
With this definition in mind, it can be argued that the British tabloids practice of praising Kate Middleton and criticizing Megan for similar behavior is, in fact, racist. Thus, despite efforts to distance itself from its colonial past, Britain still clings on to many of the racist ideals that period was built around.
The press is not the only institution that represents and embodies Britain's struggle to escape its racialized past. The Crown, an institution that largely defines British culture, failed to demonstrate a modern commitment to the principles diversity and inclusion. Instead, the Crown showed complacency with the antiquated ideals of discriminating based on the color of one's skin. During their interview, both Megan and Harry expressed their frustration with the institution's silence. Megan described an incident where an unidentified member of the royal family expressed concern over how dark their unborn child's skin would be. In addition, Harry explained his feelings of frustration towards his family when he realized no one was willing to defend Megan or use their connections with the press to try and change the narrative.
These allegations highlight the Crown's unwillingness to take decisive action against the pervasive racism that still undergirds much of British society. Concerns over the new baby's skin color and the unwillingness to condemn the dehumanizing coverage of Megan shows the Crown's bystander complicity in the face of modern-day racism. While no longer sending troops to colonize overseas territories is one thing, it seems the Crown continues to embody this Anglo-Saxon superiority complex that defined its age of imperialism.
Despite the progress of decolonization, it is clear that British culture remains stuck in the antiquated mindset of a colonial conqueror. Megan's marriage to Harry gave the monarchy a chance to prove themselves as a progressive institution that stands for racial justice and against discrimination. Instead, they were complacent. The Crown has promised to examine the issues brought up in the interview seriously and address them. However, one must also be aware that such a statement is coming from an institution headed by a monarch that has never apologized for her family's role in the slave trade.

Since our start in 1915, Midmark has developed into the leading solutions provider of medical, dental and veterinary care environments.
Midmark Corporation (known then as the Cummings Machine Company) was founded in 1915 in Minster, Ohio, as a manufacturer of concrete mixers using the patents owned by the company's president at the time, EC Cummings. Following the acquisition of the Reeves Pulley Company in 1920, the Cummings Machine Company began manufacturing gasoline-powered locomotives. In 1921, John W. Eiting was appointed to the board of directors and the company began undertaking contract fabrications work. Four years later, JW Eiting became president of what was then called the Industrial Equipment Company.
Fast-forward to the 1960s, Carl F. Eiting (son of John W. Eiting) had led the company into its 50th year. With revenues exceeding a million dollars and the recent expansion of the plant and office space, the 125 employees at Industrial Equipment Company had a lot to celebrate. Although, James A. Eiting (Carl's son) identified the inefficiencies of their contract-driven business model that made the company vulnerable. He believed that they needed to exploit their manufacturing resources and capabilities by identifying a specific market, thus increasing output and encouraging growth for many years to come.
As a result, the Industrial Equipment Co. purchased four products with blueprints from the recently bankrupt American Metal Furniture Company, thus paving their entrance into the medical market. With the new company name, IE Industries, there was a change in climate across the organization.
In January of 1969, James A. Eiting replaced his father as president of IE Industries. As the medical division grew, so did the need for more space. And the same trust that brought EC Cummings to Minster, Ohio, 54 years prior is the trust that led Jim Eiting and company to Versailles, Ohio, in 1969; trust in a village rich in work ethic that would support great prosperity for both the business and the community. With the reinvention of the company came a new identity, Midmark.
During the 1970s and 80s, the medical division quickly gained momentum. Midmark further invested in the market with the purchase of major competitor, Ritter, in 1986. Our resort-style lodge and conference center, Riverwatch, opened in 1989, providing hospitable accommodations to customers and visitors just outside of Versailles. All this progress occurred just in time to celebrate the company's 75th anniversary.
In 1997, Midmark purchased Knight Manufacturing, Inc., expanding into the dental market and providing tremendous opportunity for growth. Shortly after, Anne Eiting Klamar, a fourth generation Eiting at the company, began leading Midmark in 1999. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and investing in a technology-focused office, Midmark Connect, Midmark broke through the doors of the 21st century, providing innovative products and comprehensive equipment solutions to medical, dental and veterinary practices around the world. In the 2000s, Midmark became an international company with offices in France, India, the United Kingdom and Italy.
In 2015, Midmark proudly celebrated its 100-year anniversary. Anne Eiting Klamar relished in the accomplishments built by her team as well as the teammates before her, just before transitioning into a new role as chair of the Midmark Board of Directors on January 1, 2016. Anne and the board carefully appointed her successor, John Q. Baumann, whose proven thought-leadership and skills led him to grow his former company twenty-fold during his 18-year tenure as president and CEO of Ampac in Cincinnati, Ohio. John also had served as chair of the Midmark board since 2009, allowing he and Anne to exchange roles with ease.
Left to right: John Baumann, CEO; Anne Eiting Klamar, Chair; Sharyl Gardner, CAO; Bob Morris, CFO.
In the spring of 2016, Midmark acquired a leading healthcare technology company, Versus Technology, Inc. Located in Traverse City, Michigan, Versus (now Midmark RTLS) specializes in real-time locating systems for health systems—making healthcare safer and more efficient.
Using a sensory network, this technology can locate patients, healthcare providers, equipment and other assets equipped with electronic badges and transmits this data into a platform that helps to manage resources, services and enhance care delivery workflows.
In the fall of 2016, Midmark acquired VSSI in Carthage, Missouri, a stainless-steel product leader in the animal health space—strengthening our product offerings for veterinary practices.
Midmark entered a partnership in 2017 with HEINE, a global leader and German manufacturer of primary medical diagnostic instruments, to cobrand products such as otoscopes (for ears), ophthalmoscopes (for eyes) and sphygmomanometers (manual blood pressure device).
In 2018, the company broke ground on an expansion in Versailles that will accommodate our recent growth. The expansion will include a technology center that will accommodate our research and development activities, and an experience center, for customers to participate in continuing education opportunities, interact with the company's technologies, and experience Midmark. Midmark also relocated our headquarters office from the University of Dayton campus, to the Austin Landing development of Miamisburg, Ohio.
In August 2018, we announced our new brand and strategic direction, establishing ourselves as the only clinical environmental design company that enables a better point-of-care experience for medical, dental and animal health. Centered on the new tagline, Designing better care™, we are using our clinical space expertise, technologies and workflow solutions to transform healthcare for the betterment of all—patients, caregivers and their families.

Zambian Villagers Win Landmark Ruling in Water Poisoning Case
NEW YORK (IDN) – Zambian villagers whose livelihoods were turned upside down by a toxic spill from a copper mine will finally have their day in court. They succeeded against the odds in a case pitting their claims against a worldwide mining company which denied responsibility for the spill caused by a local Zambian company it controlled.
It wasn't the first claim against the Vedanta company, based in the UK. In January, a factory in Tamil Nadu, India, was ordered closed by the local pollution board for having "irreversibly polluted the groundwater in and around the Thoothukudi district".
Vedanta is a global diversified metals and mining company with its headquarters in London. It is the largest mining and non-ferrous metals company in India and has mining operations in Australia and Zambia and oil and gas operations in three countries. Its main products are Zinc, Lead, Silver, Oil & Gas, Iron Ore, Steel, Aluminium and Power. It has also developed commercial power stations in India in Odisha (2,400 MW) and Punjab (1,980 MW).
Vedanta was also criticized by human rights and activist groups, including Survival International, Amnesty International and Niyamgiri Surakshya Samiti because of the company's operations in Odisha, said to threaten the lives of the Dongria Kondh people who populate this region.
In January 2009, thousands of locals formed a human chain around the hill to protest plans to start bauxite mining in the area.
In the Zambian case, four communities charged that a local stream and the Kafue River had become rivers of acid.
Leaked documents seen by the BBC appear to show that Vedanta Resources –through its Zambia-based Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) – spilled sulphuric acid and other toxic chemicals into the water sources.
Konkola denies they failed to maintain critical equipment adequately or that heavy spillages and massive leakages occurred due to degraded equipment and leaking pumps and pipes.
After the spill, soil in the copper belt, once rich and highly productive now produces virtually nothing, observed a visitor. "I used to grow cabbages, potatoes, tomatoes and bananas but now, there's no future here - only poverty and suffering for everyone because this land is damaged and spoiled," said Leo Mulenga.
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled that companies are liable for the commitments, including good corporate citizenship, they make publicly regarding their subsidiaries and their commitments to the communities they serve.
Meanwhile, early this year, the Konkola mines suspended operations at its Nchanga mine following the introduction of a 5 percent import duty on copper concentrates.
"The introduction of a 5 percent import duty has made the smelting of imported concentrates commercially unviable," the company said. [IDN-InDepthNews – 23 April 2019]

Morttagua & Tyng join forces to bring their first single to Dear Dear Records entitled 'Ouroboros', which includes brilliant remixes from Andrea Roma & Paul Mirror and Matan Caspi.
The 'Ouroboros' symbol represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished.
Ouroboros was produced when Tyng, the new underground alias from Vitaly Khvaleev from the legendary Russian duo Moonbeam , went to Rio de Janeiro for a summer tour and met with local Brazilian rising star Morttagua, from labels such as Armada Deep, Black Hole, PACHA and Bunny Tiger. Both forged a great friendship during Tyng's stay in Rio and produced together 'Ouroboros' , a dark, introspective, groovy and melodic Tech House , with distorted synths, hypnotic arpeggios, and mysterious breakdown.

Rare Earth "Black Gold" and Water Management Detailed In West Virginia Conference
September 28, 2018 September 28, 2018 admin	0 Comments Lance Lin, Paul Ziemkiewicz, rare earth elements, West Virginia Water Research Institute, Wv State Water Conference Water Research
Mike Luther, Global REEs Venture Editor Note: In the course of our dialogue with leading researchers and industry leaders, we see hear about some interesting things. Ultimately, Global REEs Venture is seeking to create alignment and idea sharing in order to improve rare earth mining and processing in the west. We are impressed with the activity at West Virginia University and within the State of West Virginia. As you read this story, consider the ongoing and tragic flooding stemming from Hurricane Florence. The State of West Virginia is both addressing its water management issues and making consideration for future resource extraction of rare earth elements and more.
by Conor Griffith STAFF WRITER, The Exponent Telegram
The West Virginia State Water Conference kicked off at the Morgantown Event Center Thursday.

Associate professor of civil and environmental engineering John Quaranta demonstrated water research at abandoned mine sites in Greenbrier County.
Lance Lin said the current way water is used is very linear, competitive and inefficient but the right application of technology could make way for a whole new water use model.
New flood maps were displayed during the conference's session on water research.
Paul Ziemkiewicz, director of the WVU Water Research Institute, demonstrated how rare earth elements can be extracted from acid mine streams or the sludge from that accumulates at these sites. He noted that the sludge's acidity actually increases the concentration of these elements, which are vital in the use of electronics and defense technology.
MORGANTOWN — Ways in which water-related challenges might be overcome were highlighted during the West Virginia State Water Conference Thursday morning.
The two-day conference at the Morgantown Marriott at Waterfront Place included a presentation regarding ongoing water research projects conducted by faculty at West Virginia University. One of those included a session on improved modeling of flood risk potential in the Mountain State presented by WVU Professor of Resource Economics and Management Mike Strager.
"West Virginia has, and I say this sarcastically, three things going for it when it comes to flooding," he said. These three things are the state's mountainous topography and location in the center of three converging weather systems from the Atlantic Ocena, Midwest and Gulf of Mexico.
Strager said resource extraction also factors into the state's floods because that alters the land cover, compacts soil and changes rainfall partitioning.
What's more, Strager said the Federal Emergency Management Agency does issue flood hazard mapping based on data available. However, he said as much as 58 percent of the FEMA maps are inaccurate which he said would be a failing grade in his classroom. To remedy this, he and his team started a new mapping system incorporating geomorphic modeling which relates to the natural features of the landscape that complements hydrological modeling with lidar, a detection technology that works along the same principle as radar but utilizes light from a laser.
With this, Strager said a better flooding potential index map was created for the Elk River water basin. It reads somewhat like a topographical map with color coding, with red representing the most at-risk areas for flooding with those coded in blue as having the lowest potential. Similar maps were made for the Gauley and Greenbrier rivers.
"We'd like to take this to a statewide level because the data is available to do that," Strager said.
Lance Lin, professor of civil and environmental engineering, demonstrated how the right application of technology can result in less linear uses of water sources, notably how iron taken from other sources can be used to make sand in which tomatoes will grow, slightly slower than those in other soils but still the same size nonetheless.
John Quaranta, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, detailed how channels were installed at the Royal Scot mine reclamation site in Greenbrier County to distinguish ground and surface water sources for treatment, and how the byproduct of carbon plant wastewater and paper mill treatment can benefit abandoned mining sites by providing a source of carbon for vegetation to grow.
Ziemkiewicz highlighted the importance of these elements because China is the world's leading supplier and the U.S. has almost no domestic production. However, research ongoing at WVU and the National Energy Technology Laboratory is working to turn that around.
Other topics discussed during the conference's breakout sessions included overviews of drinking water quality, fish species populations, environmental engineering and the impacts of concentrated bromide, among others.

"Day Lighting Mandi District" by Aras Nehir Keskin, Matthew Alexander Shanck et al.
Homes in Mandi, India are poorly lit during the daytime, and the residents are forced to use electricity to illuminate interiors. The goal of our project is to improve the lighting of these households through use of alternative day lighting solutions. We researched the available day lighting technologies for various building types. Our collaborative team of students from IIT Mandi and WPI surveyed local villages to confirm the interest and need for our project. We then combined our knowledge of interior lighting systems with our interview results to develop prototypes and subsequently implemented them into select houses. Finally, after a trial period, we solicited feedback from the residents of the implemented houses and made recommendations for solving this problem worldwide.

Members of Parliament worried about the leaking of classified information
Posted by Mandisa Rasmeni | Apr 30, 2021 | Extra
A few members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security have expressed concerns over how confidential information of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs is ending up in the public domain.
Members expressed these sentiments on 28 April during a briefing meeting between the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security and the Ministry Defence.
Hon. Paula Kooper and Lucia Witbooi, Members of Parliament who are part of the Committee both expressed their dismay at how highly classified information was being leaked and therefore jeopardizing the national security.
"I am always sitting with a worry on how internal information of the Ministry of Defence is running into the public domain and I see the Ministry of Defence as one of the sensitive ministries and wonder how their classified information is reaching the public," enquired Kooper.
Witbooi shared similar sentiments adding that it was a security risk to allow this trend to continue. "It is dangerous and risky for confidential information of Defence to continue to leak in this manner and we urge the Ministry to tighten their controls," she added.
Dr Wilhelmine Shivute, Executive Director in the Ministry of Defence responded by concurring with the assertions by noting that the leaking of classified information has become a big challenge for the Ministry.
"On the information part, it is not only a worry, but it is in fact a headache and I think Namibia has become a country where people do not even restrain themselves," she added.
She said people are even not scared of saying things that they are not sure of, therefore it is part of their strategy to vet people that they employ.
"We cannot promise that it will work but it is one of the strategies, because we know that we are supposed to be one of the agencies where information cannot just be made public but leaking of information continuing, hence the need to introduce strong measures," she concluded.

Dance has been an integral part of human nature for as long as humans have walked the earth. Ancient murals dating all the way back to 3300 BC (so 3300 years before we started counting years the way we do today) have pictured people dancing. There is even archaeological evidence for the existence of dance in India 30,000 years ago. Clearly, we humans like to get our groove on!
And that's a good thing, because the benefits of dancing cannot be overstated. Did you know, for example, that dancing has such incredible effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological movement disorder? It is most likely the combination of music and movement that leads to dancing's beneficial effects. Music stimulates the brain's emotion and reward centers (which is why music can make you feel intense emotions), while the movement itself helps improve our memory. Better yet, neuroscientific research suggests that dancing can actually lower the risk of developing dementia, more than any other form of exercise, including cycling, golf, swimming, and tennis! The main reason for this benefit seems to be that dancing involves both a mental effort and social interaction, and that this type of stimulation reduces the risk of developing dementia.
Another important effect of dancing is on our stress system. Simply put: dancing eliminates stress, and it makes you feel good! The latter is due to the release of serotonin, an important brain chemical that is responsible for feelings of satisfaction and happiness (for all the ladies out there: CHOCOLATE is one of our main sources of serotonin. Might explain a lot ;-)). The effect of dancing on our stress levels has to do with the production of all sorts of chemicals, but the easiest way to describe it is as follows: in prehistoric times, our stress system reacted when we were in danger. When a sabre-toothed tiger wants to have you for lunch, your body reacts by activating the stress system. This system allows you to escape from the threat of being turned into a sabre-toothed-sandwich by getting your body in a 'let's-get-the-hell-out-of-here' state. Your heart starts pounding, you start panting, which are all ways for your body to prepare you to run. The pounding of your heart results in increased blood flow to your muscles, which allows you to run faster. Panting sends more oxygen to your brain, so it is able to remain functional while you're running away, allowing you to keep thinking clearly and get away from the tiger, instead of accidentally running right towards it.
As you can see, our entire stress system is built to help us escape from whatever is causing the stress. However, in prehistoric times, these threats and dangers were real. Sabre-toothed tigers, wolves, and lord knows what else was trying to eat us back then. Fortunately for us, times have changed. Unfortunately for us, our stress system has not. Think about it. What causes you stress these days? Tigers? Crocodiles? Lions trying to eat you? No. If you're like me, then your main source of stress will probably be your own brain! We worry. About work, about life, about disturbing news items filled with terrorists and murderers. Our body reacts to those worries by activating our stress system, which is designed to help us escape from danger. But how do you escape from something that only exists in your head? You can't run from your own brain! Which is why we end up sitting on the couch at night, with a body that is in full-on fight or flight-mode, with no way to release all that built up energy.
Unless, of course…. We dance.
When we dance, our body is able to release all that energy. It is able to restore balance in all our body's chemicals and it allows our body to heal. Dancing makes us happy, dancing helps us to be 'in the moment' instead of in our heads. When you have that perfect dance with someone, you forget the world exists. It's just you, them, and the music. So the question really is… What are you waiting for?

Undercurrents: Does It Matter Where Johnny Learns to Read?
As the practice of homeschooling gets more popular in the Virgin Islands, government education officials are struggling with how best to regulate it.
A draft proposal by the Board of Education to tighten the existing rules has already brought cries of government interference from some parents. They are chafing at the idea of having to follow a curriculum outline loosely set by the board and to be required to have their children tested by the Education Department.
Stephanie Berry, acting executive director for the Board of Education, stressed that the board's proposal is still being vetted.
Berry also suggested a revision is necessary because the existing policy dates back to 1998.
The board began holding work sessions on the matter last May and has encouraged suggestions from parents, Berry said. Its most recent hearing was in December and there will be more before any decision is made.
The issue is so sensitive officials apparently don't want to discuss it. Board chair Nandi Sekou did not reply to several requests for comment made both directly and through Berry. Attempts to talk with members of the board's Committee on Policies, Rules and Regulations were also unsuccessful.
It's not clear how many people will be affected by a new policy, if and when one is established.
Anyone who opts to educate his or her child rather than send the child to a school is supposed to register with the Department of Education. But actual numbers are elusive.
A leading proponent of territorial home schooling, Andrea King, said there are about 90 people in a Virgin Islands support group she called the USVI Home Schoolers. King maintains a closed Facebook page for the group and said she gets between two and five requests to join about every 10 days. At least some of the St. Thomas members of the group meet every Thursday, usually either at Magens Bay beach or Smith Bay beach.
King and her husband are home teaching their 9-year-old daughter.
One thing that appeals to King is that she can tailor her daughter's studies to the girl's interests and set a pace that is individualized for her.
"She's in her second year of Latin," King said. "She's reading at about the sixth-grade level and she's in third grade. It's all because she isn't under pressure." Colleges and universities want students who learned at home, she maintains, because they are self-starters and independent learners.
King rejects the oft-repeated notion that children are "socialized" in traditional schools, saying that they are actually exposed to more realistic life situations and a wider range of people when they are home-schooled.
"I'm also very patriotic," she said. "My husband and I believe in the integrity of the Constitution … We're a faith-based family" and home schooling allows more freedom of expression. "We say the pledge (of allegiance) and a prayer in the morning" at the start of instruction.
King said her family uses the Living Books Curriculum, which she described as a popular home school support service. They also attend a conference sponsored every year by Great Home School Conventions. As for hours of instruction, "We do Monday through Friday" roughly the same as traditional schools.
But are all parents who choose to home school so conscientious?
And what are the Board and Department of Education's obligations to ensure that every child in the Virgin Islands receives an education?
Under the proposed revision, the parent would be required to list the number of days of instruction and the number of hours per day. He would also need to list the qualifications of the teacher(s). At the primary level, the home teacher would be required to include instruction in reading, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. At the secondary level, he would have to include English, math, science, V.I. culture and history, physical education, foreign language and digital literacy.
Moreover, the student would have to submit to testing by the Education Department as part of the assessment of progress.
A compromise may be reached yet. King said the home school group has put together a committee consisting of three families from St. Croix and three from the St. Thomas-St. John district to work with the Board of Education to revise the draft proposal.

Clayton Rugby Club to Host Carolinas Development Camp
Clayton RFC Release
CLAYTON, NC – For the second consecutive year, the Clayton Rugby Football Club is proud to team up with the Carolinas Geographic Rugby Union to host a Player and Coaching Development Camp. The camp, scheduled for August 19-20 in Clayton, is for men's and women's players and coaches from clubs throughout the Carolinas. This year, the club is excited to bring in Chris Brown to lead the two-day camp. Based out of the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Brown is the USA's Olympic 7s Lead Residency Coach, Head of Physical Performance for USA Rugby, and Assistant Coach for the USA 7s Men's squad. Brown played a vital role in the USA Men's highest ever finish on the Sevens World Series this past season.
"I'm really looking forward to spending a couple of days in North Carolina," said Brown. "I hope to share as much knowledge and coaching detail as I can with the Carolinas rugby community to ensure they come away with a clear understanding of the holistic requirements of coaching, being a top level rugby player and giving quality insight into the tools required to see significant progression."
The two day camp is part of a greater emphasis from the CGRU on investing in the development of coaches and players. The camp starts with an on the pitch coaching session on fundamental skill development. The coaching session is followed by small group sessions for men's and women's players that focus on skill development and skills/conditioning games.
"Coaching development is one of our highest priorities," said CGRU President Simone Bontly. "We need better coaches to create better players. It is important that we continue to provide the opportunities for our coaches and players to grow."
Campers are then invited for a Saturday night social session and presentation by Brown that provides insight into the USA Eagles Men's 7s rugby environment. That presentation is followed by a session on Holistic Planning and Preparation for coaches. The group ends the evening with a Q & A session, dinner, and social time. Sunday brings a new element to the Development Camp as the Carolinas Rugby Union and Clayton RFC are opening up room for local High School players to have a session with Brown. A limited number of places are being made available to high school players with a focus on upperclassmen that are planning to pursue rugby at the collegiate level.
"We are beyond excited to have Chris join us this year," said Clayton RFC President Ted Hardy. "His approach is exactly what we were looking for when we bring in guest coaches. We are also extremely fortunate to have the CGRU support this camp and the development of coaches and players from around the Carolinas."
This year's Carolinas Player Development Camp will, once again, be hosted at East Clayton Community Park in Clayton, North Carolina. Coaches, both youth and adult club level, are free to attend. The fee for Players, that are registered with clubs in the CGRU, is $20 per player. The registration fee for High School Players is $30. The registration include a camp t-shirt and water during the camp.
Spaces are limited, so pre-registration is required to guarantee your space.
