Putting the Genie Back: Solving the Climate and Energy Dilemma

On November 4th 2016 the Paris Agreement entered into force. The warming of the climate system, first recognized over a century ago, has become one of the key political and social issues of our time. Some still deny it is happening, others are incensed by the slow pace of change, while most are left confused and uncertain not just by the science, but by the panoply of solutions put forward by politicians, business people, academics and activists. At its most ambitious, the Paris Agreement implies a transition within the global energy system such that carbon dioxide emissions fall rapidly from 40 billion tonnes per annum in 2016, to net-zero by the middle of the century. Yet our fossil fuel based energy system which ushered in the Industrial Revolution nearly 200 years ago continues to grow and evolve even as new sources of energy come into the market and compete.
The principal economic instrument for change is clear and has been for over two decades, but in 2017 only a fraction of the global economy actively employs government led carbon pricing policies and within that only a handful of systems operate at a level commensurate with the pace and scale of change that is necessary.
As deployment of new energy technologies accelerates, can solutions be found to cover the full range of services delivered by fossil fuels and can warming be limited to the agreed global goals? Putting the Genie Back explores the climate issue from its very beginnings through to the end of end of the 21st Century and looks in depth at the transition challenge we collectively face.

Robert Bell, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, called Monday from New Jersey in a break before a week of several dates across the country and another trip "back across the water" for shows in England, Germany, Monte Carlo and Portugal.
Wherever the band entertains, "We come to party," said Bell, the bass guitarist.
Question | Just how memorable was "A Capitol Fourth" last week, opening your set with Ronald Bell playing "America" solo on saxophone, then the band joining in for the "Celebration"/"Ladies' Night" medley to really kick off the whole party?
Answer | It was great to do that. I mean, we've done other Fourth of Julys and nice sidetracks. We did one at the Arch in St. Louis one time. ... On our Van Halen tour, we were inspired. We remembered crossing the Rockies on the way to Las Vegas. We stopped in one of those canyons and we played some American music, the "America" theme song. It was one of those afternoons, and people were wondering, "Who are those guys in those big tour buses?" ... So we got the call about doing the Capitol Hill celebration, and we thought, this would be perfect. We did "America." It worked out.
Q. | Playing for such TV specials as New Year's Eve shows, and on "A Capitol Fourth," and jet-setting to play around the world, how rewarding is it to see the music so fresh for other generations and cultures, with audiences singing along with you?
A. | It's great. .... Another time, there was a date in Lebanon, in Beirut. They're into the music. They were singing to "Fresh," "Ladies' Night" and "Get Down On It." The Lebanese know how to party.
Q. | On the heels of the "Ladies' Night" album from 1979, with James "J.T." Taylor helping usher in a new era and give a new voice for the group through the 1980s: A year later, did you have any inkling, any gut feeling, that the first single from the "Celebrate!" LP, "Celebration," would become such an anthem that never gets old?
A. | We didn't know what would happen with "Celebration." We were celebrating two American Music Awards from the "Ladies' Night" album ... and my brother came up with this idea, to celebrate a moment. ... He played the music, and we were celebrating. We just had a good-ole-time feeling to it. "Celebration" is a very, very basic song, but there's a groove to it. "There's a party going on right now." It's celebrating a good time. ... It was the basic sort of song, with "Yahoo," the twang and the guitars. It worked. The song has been amazing and a blessing, and it's still a very popular song for all occasions.
Q. | How did the hit "Ladies' Night" evolve, with its "Come on, let's all celebrate" refrain?
A. | It was another of these quick ideas. ... I came up with this idea about hanging out in a nightclub.
Q. | With such positive lyrics in the band's hits through the years, such as "Steppin' Out," "Straight Ahead," "Tonight" and "Victory," have you heard from fans who have articulated their thanks for the spirit and uplifting message in the music?
A. | We've done "Victory" for a few corporate dates. We don't play all the songs, but for one of the dates, they had requested "Take It to the Top." We hadn't done that one for years. I said, "We have to go back and rehearse that. I guess, in the spirit of the convention, for the people who worked for the company, it hit them: "You can make it to the top. Don't stop." We didn't know. ... It affects people in life and corporations around the world. People used that song as a theme.
Q. | For older fans who don't want to forget Kool & the Gang's jazz and funkier roots from the 1960s and '70s, respectively, as heard on "Summer Madness" and "Funky Stuff," how immersed and deep did the group get on such recording sessions, especially on "Wild and Peaceful," from 1973?
A. | "Wild and Peaceful" came around the time of "Jungle Boogie, "Hollywood Swinging" and "Funky Stuff." On that album, the first side was the "wild side," as we called it, then there was the peaceful side, because we wanted to do jazz. I call it "cool jazz." When we cut "Wild and Peaceful," a song that was at least nine minutes long, it took up half of the B side.
Q. | Does hearing Paul Shaffer lead frequent renditions of "Jungle Boogie" and "Hollywood Swinging" on late-night TV for David Letterman for the last three decades further confirm Kool & the Gang's thick chapter of longevity in American music since the 1960s?
Q. | Having such an artistic signature logo – also displayed on the outer head of George Brown's bass drum – as other groups such as Chicago, the Rolling Stones and KISS each do: How did Kool & the Gang's emblem, incorporating the horn, become your stamp?
A. | Back in the early days ... although we a trombone, and saxophones – alto and tenor – there was something about the trumpet that showed what we were about, because we really didn't have lead singers in the early days. The trumpet: A guy came up with the idea and drew this trumpet as our logo. ... We've been using it ever since, for over 40 years.
Q. | You, Thomas and Taylor were the three members representing Kool & the Gang, and with Jody Watley, the only U.S. artists, in the Band Aid single, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" recorded in 1984 in England for Ethiopian famine relief. How did this timing and place work out, amid your various charity efforts across Africa, so perfectly?
A. | We were touring there, and Bob Geldof asked, "Would you like to be part of this song we're doing?" Bob Geldof was our label mate ... and putting it all together. We said, "Yeah, we'd love to be a part of it." It just so happened we were available that morning, and the rest is history.


Beauty pageants have been around for quite sometime. They are a competition where girls go to show off their talent, costumes, and of course, their beauty. While this may seem somewhat accepted for older women, what happens when you throw children in these same competitions? Children beauty pageants have been growing at an alarming rate. Popular television shows, like Toddlers and Tiaras, are perpetuating the idea of these shallow competitions. While not all children are forced to do these shows, many are. How is this damaging these very young girls and what is the impact it will have on their adult life?
Child beauty pageants pertains to contestants aged from 2 to 18 years of age. The competition is usually composed of different categories like talent, casual wear, long gown or evening wear, sportswear and talent. Child contestants can wear makeup, showcase different hairstyles, and wear fitted outfits. But these factors still depend on the type pageant and system of competition.
Beauty pageants have become a dominant part of our culture, and based on statistics, about 5,000 child beauty pageants are held every year and 250,000 child contestants are participating. In general aspect of beauty pageant, more than two million girls are competing in beauty pageants every year in the U.S. alone. Based on statistical record presented by Women's News verified last year, in 100,000 beauty pageants held in the U.S. each year, about 72% hire pageant coaches.
However, it is not beauty contestants do not just reap the benefits o joining, some of them have felt unpleasant impacts when they joined. Based on statistical data presented by the same source, about 6% of beauty pageant participants have suffered from depression. Because of the pros and cons of joining beauty competitions, child beauty pageants have been subjects of debates and arguments. Some individuals foresee child beauty pageants as grounds for bullying children but some believes these to be a safe haven.
Statistics is perhaps a natural part of life, and almost all events are linked to data and information. Child beauty pageants are just one in the long lists of events that are being evaluated and recorded. Understanding child beauty pageants is important because this helps you identify and understand data trends. Your knowledge and awareness about child beauty pageant statistics also helps you to be aware and familiar about primary statistical concepts of child beauty competition.
If statistics have been properly used, clear and comprehensive representation of beauty pageant data is expected. Failure to do so, assumptions is the only things created without solid basis. With the help of child beauty pageant statistics, individuals especially pageant organizers and planners are able to analyze data relatively quick. Results of this beauty pageant statistics are being utilized for planning and other future purposes.
As years passed, the child beauty pageant statistics is expected to change. There are actually many factors that cause statistical data to vary. Every aspect of child beauty pageant is being analyzed before data is completely set. Child beauty pageant statistics will then be made available for individuals who are looking for reliable statistical record. Statistical results are often valued by decision makers for this is easy and straightforward to analyze. These are also helpful in convincing children to join child beauty pageants.

Q: creating a team of players from a list Hey im trying to create a random way to pick a team of 4 from a linkedlist and am wondering if this code will work.
heres an example code
 public static void enterGame(Client c) {
    int n = teamSize;
    boolean startNewGame = false;
    if(waitingPlayers.size() <= 3) {
        return; // not enough players
    }
    startNewGame = true;
    if(startNewGame) {
        System.out.println("Starting new game");
        for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
            Collections.shuffle(waitingPlayers);
            System.out.println("Picking random player");
            waitingPlayers.remove(c);
            System.out.println("removing from random player list");
            players.add(c);
            System.out.println("adding player to ingame list");
        }
    }
}

A: I would use Collections.shuffle() and a sublist. In order to know if your code works why don't you test it (unit test or just some try)?
Also, this part:
boolean startNewGame = false;
if(waitingPlayers.size() > 3) {
        startNewGame = true;
} else {
        startNewGame = false;
        return;
}
if(startNewGame) {

is over complicated, I would replace it by:
if(waitingPlayers.size() <= 3) {
    return; // not enough players
}

Full code:
public static void enterGame(final Client c) {
    if(waitingPlayers.size() <= 3) {
        return; // not enough players
    }

    System.out.println("Starting new game");
    Collections.shuffle(waitingPlayers);
    System.out.println("Picking random players");
    // ? to be replaced by the real type of objects inside waitingPlayers
    final List<?> picked = waitingPlayers.subList(0, 3);
    players.addAll(picked);
    waitingPlayers.removeAll(picked);
}

A: You have a bug - you are picking a number from 0 to n. If n is selected, you will get an out of bounds exception. Other fhan that it seems fine.

Pakistani Media
Pakistani Entertainment News
Filmstar Noor Bukhari might file divorce against her husband
Season of breakups is going on its peak these days. Previously, Nadia Khan got separated from her husband and later musician Annie Khalid got divorced. Another rumor is catching fire these days; pointing towards Lollywood actress Noor Bukhari, whose conflicts with her husband Mr. Awn Chaudhry has increased to a noticeable extent. Remember it is the third marriage of the actress, and she has a baby girl from current husband.
When Noor was asked for a word about the matter, she didn't responded. Her mother then came into the picture and told the media that their family is trying to convince actress but she is not ready to forgive her husband easily. The family sources didn't tell the exact reason of the conflict but family members confirmed that some actions by Noor's husband are making her irascible. Her mother added that Noor will file the divorce papers soon.
Noor's first marriage stirred the controversy, when she married a hindu guy named Vikram, back in 2008, but later it was ended due to some unknown reasons. Her fight with Vikram was recorded on Nadia Khan's Morning Show in UAE. Just two years after her first divorce, Noor got married again with a renowned director and producer Farooq Mengal. Unfortunately her second marriage followed the foot steps of the first and didn't work out as expected.

Imagine that you're a second-year college student returning to campus in September, only to discover that your school has made some curious changes. Instead of offering just one introductory Spanish course, one calculus course, and one chemistry course, the college now lets you choose from a dozen of each, led by different instructors with different teaching styles.
Imagine further that the course catalog has gone entirely online, and consists of three-minute video previews of each course, plus reviews and ratings from former students. And instead of paying tuition to the school, you're now expected to pay your professors directly, with the college keeping a small cut.
Amidst such changes, instructors would now be competing for attention and pay—and it would be easy for students to find out which teachers were the best. Within a few weeks, the top teachers would naturally wind up with the largest classes, while there would still be a "long tail" of smaller classes on specialized subjects.
In other words, your school would have been transformed from a medieval semi-meritocracy with a catalog of take-it-or-leave-it courses into a true marketplace.
Of course, no real university works this way. But Udemy does. And the market dynamics behind the company's lineup of 8,000 technology and business courses are what make it stand out from its competition in the edtech market—both on the casual-learning side, where Udemy's peers include companies like Lynda.com and Khan Academy, and on the formal-learning side, where the hottest properties right now are massive online open course (MOOC) purveyors like Coursera and Udacity.
Udemy's courses focus mostly on career skills like Web design, iOS app development, social media, and accounting software. The San Francisco startup announced today that it has served 1 million students since it first began offering online courses three years ago. That makes it a lot bigger than Udacity, which has 400,000 registered users, and means that it's rapidly catching up with rival training site Lynda.com, which has about 2 million subscribers.
The company also said that its site now supports speakers of nine languages, including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish, reflecting the fact that half of its users are from outside the United States.
Dennis Yang, Udemy's president and chief operating officer, says his company is growing so fast mainly because it's an open, competitive marketplace. Prospective students can connect with the sorts of teachers who might never land a university job or be commissioned to make a video series for Lynda.com, but who are nonetheless experts in their fields.
Udemy's most popular courses revolve around business applications and software programming languages.
Udemy courses are delivered mostly via online video, are usually about 10 hours long, and typically cost about $100. None of the content is produced by Udemy itself, with the exception of a few videos that show instructors how to create their own course materials. Rather, the site serves as a catalog and marketing platform for DIY creators of instructional video, with Udemy taking a cut of either 15 or 30 percent of the tuition dollars, depending on how much marketing help an instructor wants.
There's a heavy emphasis at Udemy on teaching skills that will help workers advance in their jobs. For example, there are more than 60 courses on mastering Microsoft Excel. Whether there's really a demand for that many courses on spreadsheets is debatable, but the point is that prospective students can easily find out which instructors have the happiest customers. The top Excel course at Udemy has 43,500 students, while many others have only a few hundred.
Udemy's top instructors earn a surprising amount of money through the site. I talked with Miguel Hernandez, an animator and Web developer based in Vancouver, BC, who created a 10-hour course on how to script, storyboard, animate, and record product-demo videos using Adobe After Effects and other programs. Hernandez says 2,500 students have completed the course, and that he earned $90,000 the first year it was offered and more than $100,000 the second year.
http://www.wiziq.com/courses/ is also there. Educators can set up paid courses and launch their MOOCS too.
I think it is a very great post containing valuable information about the online education.Due to high technology-based platform,online learning enable the students to comfortable to catch the vital information about anything from different media.These positive interaction bring more confidence level to students to perform their skills very well.
From poking around on these courses, it appears that there are no assignments and no assessments. The courses are solely video lectures with maybe a forum. I have never taken a college course where there was no work. I don't feel like I'd learn much without assignments.
This is a good article read it clearly use full for distance educators..

Only in the Peg | Tourism Winnipeg
"Pluto Killer", "Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive" and Cosmos's Master of the Universe Coming to Winnipeg
By: Only in the Peg // March 3, 2014 // Festivals & Events
Exciting news, earthlings. As you may have seen from our Facebook post on Friday, we may be more than a little enthusiastic about a visitor heading our way next Thursday, March 13. It's not Captain Picard. It's not that Doctor (although variations thereof landed at The Forks this past weekend at Pylon Pop Culture's Doctor Who Festival). It's none other than the most popular guy in science today, Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. And he's coming to us.
Dr. Tyson is kind of a big deal. He has over half a million Twitter followers, about 6,000 hits on Reddit, and around 3,000 videos on YouTube. He's received eighteen honorary doctorates as well as the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest award given by NASA to a non-government citizen. He has an asteroid named after him. He's been appointed by President Bush several times to examine the future of US Aerospace and space exploration. He's written ten books (including New York Times bestsellers), assembled a stable of professional stand-up comedians to help bring science to commercial radio, and hosted NOVA ScienceNOW for five seasons. He knows his stuff, and his stuff aims to target all those people who never thought they would, or could, like science. (Oh, and he's also dubbed as the Man Who Killed Pluto ("all I did was drive the getaway car!"), is a regular favourite on The Daily Show, and was also voted Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive by People magazine. This is one stellar human!)
He actually really likes Pluto. See?
So what's the superhero of science doing here? The University of Manitoba is hosting a week-long series of cosmic events entitled Dream Big, culminating in this lecture, which will focus on the scope on grandeur of the universe. Lead-up activities include an astrophotography exhibition (March 10–13, 9:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Gallery of Student Art), where art techniques are combined with radiation are used to chart cosmic phenomena unseen by the naked eye. Hear discussions on Canadian UFO sightings, visit extra dimensions and black holes, meet Zac Trolley, one of Canada's second round of candidates for the Mars 1 mission, and even learn about careers in space (postings on the USS Enterprise not guaranteed).
If this has given you a case of science fever, there's plenty more to satiate your planetary appetite around Winnipeg. Take the kids, your friends, or your significant other to explore the numerous interactive exhibits at The Manitoba Museum's Science Gallery, or while you're there, take in a breathtaking 3D show and learn about the universe at the Planetarium. If you're looking to bring home a sciencey souvenir, check out the gift shop while you're there, or stop by Pylon Pop Culture at The Forks, where you can pick up sci-fi accessories and the coolest in geek chic. For hands-on science fun, visit the Children's Museum, where you can explore a giant illusion tunnel or perform water experiments in the Splash Lab.
Plan to arrive early for Tyson's lecture, The Sky is Not the Limit, on March 13 (4:00–5:15 p.m.). This is going to be educational, exciting, and full of his engaging enthusiasm for science puns as well as the laws of nature. For a full listing of this exciting week of events at the University of Manitoba, click here!

Q: SVG stroke, CSS animation: not all strokes moving in the same direction The below animation is pretty straightforward, or so I thought. You will notice that one of the strokes, and only one, starts going backwards. I fail to understand why this is the case.

.container {

  height: 350px;
}
#path1 {

    stroke-dasharray: 170;
  }
}

    </svg>

Thanks for the help, appreciate any pointers.

A: The total length of the path path1 is 2000 px
If you want to get 4 segments with 4 equal intervals, then the length of one stroke will be equal to one eighth of the total length:  2000 / 8 = 250 px
In this case, write stroke-dasharray = "250, 250"
Animation is achieved by reducing the stroke-dashoffset from2000px to zero

TALLAHASSEE (AP) - A new state report gives a murky outlook for Florida's economy - noting that recovery could take years as the state pulls itself out of the Great Recession.
The report released Tuesday could also point to political reverberations for both President Barack Obama and Gov. Rick Scott whose fortunes appear to be linked to job growth. Florida is a key swing state that could help decide the 2012 presidential election.
State economists contend that Florida's unemployment rate - which has been dropping since Scott took office- is largely going down now because people are dropping out of the work force not because they are finding jobs.
The report says that the state's unemployment rate would actually be 9.5 percent if the number of workers in the state had held steady since last December.
The current rate is 8.6 percent and has dropped 1.3 percent in the last six months. But economists point out that 69 percent of the recent drop is due to people no longer being considered part of the work force.
State officials will announce the June unemployment rate on Friday.
Scott has insisted that the state's dropping unemployment rate is due to changes that he has been pushing such as an effort to remove regulations and create jobs. Scott came into office promising to create 700,000 jobs over seven years.
But that promise could be a tall order.
"The job market will take a long time to recover," states the report from the Office of Economic and Demographic Research, which uses economic projections to come up with forecasts used to balance the annual state budget.
The report warns that the "hole is deeper than it looks" because the number of people in the prime working age is growing at the same time.
Scott spokesman Lane Wright pointed out that state economists have not identified the reasons why the work force is shrinking and said it could be due to a number of reasons such as people retiring.
"Gov. Scott recognizes we still have a long way to go," Wright said. "We are not going to stop working to create jobs until everyone who wants a job in Florida has one."
Overall the economy is starting to slowly recover, but state economists added that "it will take a few more years to climb completely out of the hole left by the recession."
Other highlights of the report include:
- Foreclosures in Florida are up 23 percent for the first six months of 2012 over the previous year. That's the fifth-highest foreclosure rate in the nation.
- Existing home prices are rising and building permit activity is on the rise, but existing home sales are "sputtering."
- Population growth is forecast to be relatively flat and is expected to average less than 1 percent between 2011 and 2014.
- Florida's personal income grew 0.7 percent in the first quarter of 2012, ranking the state 38th in the nation.
Economists wrap up the report by concluding that the economy will improve with help from lower home prices that attract buyers and that the state's population could start growing again as baby boomers begin to retire.

Disgraced former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is facing a tough primary challenge by law professor Tim Canova, didn't want to take a position on a Florida medical marijuana ballot initiative during the August 14 candidate's debate. The following day more DNC emails were leaked, indicating how on her shift at the head of the Democratic Party her and the "official" Democratic positions were prompted by the donations and pressures of the alcohol industry. The next day Wasserman Schultz changed her position on marijuana. Caricature based on a photo from Debbie Wasserman Schultz's congressional web page.
Another day, another Democratic Party leak. Today's leak includes internal party documents assessing congressional primaries. Guess what? The "party of the people" favors conservatives. And rich self-funders. And businessmen over people engaged in community service. Further, the party never hesitates to throw its weight around in such races, to bury the progressive candidates.
We cannot let corrupt party bosses dictate Democratic Party nominees. That choice belongs to us, not them.
Merge — watch the corporate puppets in both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party try to wipe out all dissent, and merge into one callous, monopolistic Big Money Party, remaking America into a land of cheap labor and debt slavery.
Purge — but before they can do that, the Democratic Party much perform a soul-ectomy, ridding itself of anyone dedicated to justice, equality, compassion and peace, so that we can all worship the God Mammon together.
Surge — and the only way that progressives — people with a head and a heart — can prevent that bloodless coup within the un-Democratic Party is to come together, and support progressive Democrats wherever and whenever we can. Especially when progressive Democrats are pitted against party tools and hacks. We have to show the party bosses that we're the real bosses.


A burst of new energy has Roosevelt Island buzzing with the opening of the new NYC Ferry port and Cornell Tech campus. Once a sleepy, well-kept secret, this Manhattan island – with its lovely riverside walks and unobstructed skyline views – has been rediscovered by tourists and residents alike. Wayfinding is essential to help these newcomers navigate the island.
Though small, Roosevelt Island's existing infrastructure has a distinguished history with several distinct architectural styles. Our design approach emphasized an enhanced visitor experience and recommended a platform for linking orientation and placemaking. The monumental red logo and placemaking feature anchors the program by heralding arrival on Roosevelt Island. It's the first part of the experience, welcoming and confirming sense of arrival. It further serves to activate the space, engage visitors and generate interest and activity about the island.
Unique in NYC and a popular tourist attraction, the Roosevelt Island Tramway connects Midtown Manhattan to the Island. We adopted the signature red and Helvetica typeface of the tram and bus to enliven and visually integrate the signage system. Aluminum, with its neutral color, allows the system to blend seamlessly into the diverse environment and further integrate with its surroundings.
This comprehensive, multi-phased wayfinding program includes three key elements. Directional finger signs guide visitors to points of interest while also providing key information such as travel distances to destinations.
Map kiosks provide key contextual information about nearby restaurants, retailers, apartment buildings, public amenities, and more.
The entire program takes advantage of sightlines from the main roads and transit hot spots coming on and off the island. Visibility and decision point studies revealed the ideal placement and sizing of these signs, resulting in a seamless experience of the island.
Our thanks to the many stakeholder groups who informed our design work, including Hudson Companies, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation and Manhattan Community Board 8.

Drive to create more good school places for families
by FE News Editor
FE News Editor
Education Secretary unveils measures to provide more choice and raise standards for children from all backgrounds.
New good school places in areas where they are needed most will give more children from all backgrounds the world-class education they deserve, under plans announced today (11 May) by Education Secretary Damian Hinds.
The package of measures will create more school places, giving parents greater choice and raising education standards – including in disadvantaged areas. It will include:
a new wave of free school applications, building on the 212,000 places created by free schools since 2010;
£50 million funding to expand the number of places at existing good or outstanding selective schools alongside measures to give more disadvantaged pupils the opportunity to attend these schools;
new support for faith schools where there is demand for good school places; and
fresh agreement with the independent schools sector to help improve outcomes for pupils of all backgrounds.
Today's moves will build on the hard work of teachers and the success of the government's reforms, creating 825,000 new school places since 2010 with 1.9 million more children now in good or outstanding schools.
Education Secretary Damian Hinds said:
Children only get one chance at an education and they deserve the best, wherever they live and whatever their background. Standards are rising in our schools and we've created hundreds of thousands of new places since 2010 but we want to make sure every family can access a good school.
By creating new schools where they are needed most and helping all great schools to grow, we can give parents greater choice in looking at schools that are right for their family – and give children of all backgrounds access to a world-class education.
Today's announcements follow the Schools that Work for Everyone consultation, which set out the government's ambition to ensure there is a good school place for every child, whatever their background. The measures will create more places across the diverse school system, giving families greater choice and raising standards for pupils.
Wave 13 of free school applications to deliver further innovation and parent choice
This latest applications round will target areas where there is a demand for places and a need to help raise school standards, giving more families access to a good school place. Nearly 400 free schools are open.
More places at good grammar schools and support for disadvantaged pupils
The government is launching the Selective Schools Expansion Fund, with £50million available for 2018-19 so that existing selective schools can expand their premises to create more places.
This will give parents greater choice and give more children, from all backgrounds, access to a good school place. Schools will have to submit a Fair Access and Partnership Plan setting out what action they will take to increase admissions of disadvantaged pupils.
Research shows pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds attain better results in selective schools and around 60% of these schools already prioritise these children in their admissions.
For example, King Edward VI in Birmingham actively encourage more pupils from less privileged backgrounds to join their schools, including considering 11+ results for disadvantaged pupils separately to their non-disadvantaged counterparts.
A Memorandum of Understanding with the Grammar School Heads' Association has also been unveiled, outlining its commitment to widen access and work with local schools to raise standards for all children.
Faith schools to help meet local demand for school places
There are many good or outstanding faith schools and more want to open. The Government will retain the 50% cap on faith admissions for free schools but will develop a scheme to help create new voluntary-aided (VA) schools for faith and other providers to meet local demand, supported by capital funding. The VA route already allows for schools to apply to open with up to 100% faith based admissions.
The Department will work with local authorities to create these schools where they are needed, subject to a 10% contribution from the provider to the capital costs. To support the measures to promote social cohesion announced in the Integrated Communities strategy, these schools – as all schools do – will continue to be expected to play an active role in their communities.
This could include twinning with other schools and ensuring diversity on the governing board. Examples of schools already doing this include St Joseph's Catholic Junior School in Leyton, which has a strong record of working with local Muslim, Jewish, Christian and non-faith schools.
Universities and independent schools building partnerships with state schools to raise attainment and widen access
Following the Schools that Work for Everyone consultation, we have established a dedicated unit that works with universities and independent schools to develop and strengthen partnerships with state schools to help raise attainment and aspiration for all pupils.
A number of institutions have already come forward to do this including independent and state schools working together to support school improvement. The Department for Education has today published a Joint Understanding with the Independent Schools Council, setting out how it will work in partnership with state schools and, in particular, help pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The higher education sector is also supporting these objectives and, in February, the Office for Students set out what is expected of universities with regard to participation and access.
This package of measures builds on the government's support for the most disadvantaged children and the drive to raise academic standards in poorer areas of the country, including:
A plan to improve social mobility, boosting opportunities for all young people;
The £72 million Opportunity Areas programme to raise standards and improve outcomes in twelve disadvantaged areas of the country;
Steps to transform education for children with additional needs; and
More than £45million awarded to successful multi-academy trusts to help tackle underperformance and improve schools in areas that lack capacity, particularly in disadvantaged areas of the country.
Kevin Courtney, Joint General Secretary of the National Education Union, said:
Education in our country is facing real problems – mental health issues for our children, a growing teacher recruitment and retention crisis, and huge funding cuts. This Government seems to have no idea how to tackle these problems and is simply recycling its same old failed policies.
The grammar school corpse has climbed out of its coffin once again despite evidence of the damage that selective education causes. Once prior attainment and pupil background is taken into account, research shows there is no overall attainment impact of grammar schools, either positive or negative. Furthermore, the attainment of grammar school pupils comes at the expense of those who don't pass their 11-plus, with pupil attainment at secondary moderns in areas with a selective education system lower than that of their counterparts in comprehensive schools. Selective education systems are also linked with greater inequality in social outcomes later in life.
In the face of such overwhelming evidence, it therefore beggars belief that the Government has announced it will plough £50 million to expand the number of places at existing selective grammar schools. Schools up and down the country are desperately short of funds. This is money that would be better invested in ensuring all schools could provide for the basic needs of their pupils without having to ask for money from parents.
Expanding the number of unaccountable free schools will not solve the school place shortage. Instead, Government must return powers and funding to local authorities to enable them to plan and manage school places in a rational and cost-effective way. Schools must be accountable to communities, this is the only way we can avoid the academic and governance failures and school closures that have characterised the free schools programme to date.
The retention of the 50% cap on faith admissions to free schools is welcome. While some parents may welcome the expansion of voluntary-aided faith schools, the Government should not confine plans to open new schools to this route. Many communities need new schools to cope with rising demand and taxpayer funded capital funding should be available to meet local need across the board. Local authorities are best placed to consult communities and determine the appropriate provision in their area.
The experience of universities and independent schools working with the state sector to raise attainment has not been a positive one to date. This is another ideologically-driven initiative that lacks an evidence base to support it. The funding for this new 'dedicated unit' to promote such partnerships should be diverted instead to state schools which are crying out for the funding they need to educate their pupils and students.
Natalie Perera, Executive Director of the Education Policy Institute (EPI), said:
Creating more grammar school places is unlikely to improve social mobility and poses a particular threat to outcomes for disadvantaged children. Our research finds that, as the number of grammar places increases, a penalty emerges for all pupils who live nearby but don't get in and this penalty is larger for disadvantaged pupils than non-disadvantaged pupils. Indeed, the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers is wider in wholly selective areas than in non-selective areas.
The apparent attainment gains associated with faith schools are largely explained by their intakes. Our research also shows that faith schools are often socially selective. They admit more high attaining pupils than the average and fewer pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds than would be expected given the areas that they serve. So any of the small gains we might see in attainment would come at the risk of increased social segregation, and lower social mobility.
International evidence indicates that many of the best education systems achieve both excellence and equity through policies that avoid selection and segregation and instead focus on supporting and retaining high quality teachers. The government should therefore consider how it can improve the number of good schools, particularly in areas of the North, in a way which minimises social segregation and attracts and retains the best teachers.
Grammar School Heads' Association Chief Executive Jim Skinner said:
We are very pleased that, like other good and outstanding schools, selective schools now have access to a fund to allow them to expand their premises. This is particularly important at a time when there are increasing numbers of pupils reaching secondary age and such high demand from parents for selective school places.
We look forward to working with the Department for Education through the Memorandum of Understanding, to continue and further extend the work that member schools have undertaken in recent years, to increase access for disadvantaged pupils and to support other schools to raise standards for all children.
Parents and Teachers for Excellence Director Mark Lehain said:
The new wave of free schools announced today is fantastic news for communities across the country. Already hundreds of towns and tens of thousands of families have benefitted from the addition of great new schools to our system, and the next wave, targeted at areas that haven't yet had this, will ensure the benefits are felt wider still.

Kids Home > Vaqta
People who want to prevent hepatitis A infections may receive the Vaqta vaccine. It comes in two forms, including one for adults and one for children between the age of 12 months and 18 years old. It works by exposing the body to the hepatitis A virus without risking the actual disease. Possible side effects include irritability and reactions at the injection site.
What Is Vaqta?
Vaqta® (hepatitis A vaccine) is a vaccine used to provide protection against hepatitis A. This vaccine comes in two forms, one that is used in children (age 12 months through 18 years of age) and one that is used in adults.
(Click Vaqta Uses for more information on this topic, including possible off-label uses.)
Thimerosal Content and Other Concerns
Vaqta does not contain thimerosal (a mercury-containing preservative). People who are concerned about exposure to this substance can be confident that this vaccine does not even contain trace amounts of thimerosal.
Some people may also be concerned about the aluminum content of vaccines. Vaqta contains 0.45 mg of aluminum per mL per adult dose and 0.225 mg of aluminum per pediatric dose.
Who Makes This Medication?
Vaqta is made by Merck & Co., Inc.
How Does Vaqta Work?
Simply stated, this vaccine allows the body to be exposed to the hepatitis A virus without risking the actual disease. The body produces antibodies that will help fight the infection if future exposure occurs.
Vaqta contains inactivated (killed) hepatitis viruses. Because this vaccine is not "live," there is no chance that a person could get hepatitis A from it.

"Beware, General. The armies have vanquished your enemies. But, those closest to you await the Ides of March." The Roman Oracle Spurinna.
45 BC – Rome – Julius Caesar had just assumed power after crossing the River Rubicon and fighting his way from northern Italy to the capital. As he settled in as the new leader of the Republic, he became alarmed over the level of corruption and sense of entitlement that plagued the Roman Senate.
Caesar also understood how to nurture the love of his people. His soldiers were well-paid, and he passed laws (over the Senate's objections) to assist independent, hardworking Romans gain wealth and protect them from abusive government officials.
During this time, Caesar allowed another man to gain power. Brutus was a mediocre general, but close friend of Caesar's who rose in the ranks to become one of the most powerful men in Rome. However, he would always remain in Caesar's shadow. Brutus' resentment and greed would grow with time.
Brutus had a friend who was a fellow general and a member of the Roman Senate. His friend, Cassius, hated Julius Caesar with great passion. The main thrust of his hatred came from being passed over for several high-level positions.
Cassius became obsessed with killing the leader of the Republic. But, he knew that he had to persuade someone Caesar trusted to go along with a conspiracy of murder.
Brutus was the perfect candidate.
On March 15th, Caesar was scheduled to appear before the Senate. However, after the oracle warned Caesar of the Ides of March, the day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to March 15th and was marked by several religious observances, he cancelled his appearance. But, he changed his mind after Brutus said the senators would look at him as weak if he didn't attend.
As the 15th drew closer, Brutus and Cassius recruited approximately 60 men to join them. They decided to kill Caesar in the Senate Chamber. They felt it would be the safest place since no weapons were allowed in the Senate.
On March 15th, Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, woke from a nightmare. She dreamed that her husband would be murdered that very day and begged him not to go to the Senate.
Caesar was concerned as well and he again cancelled his appearance. The conspirators had to persuade him to change his mind. In an ultimate act of betrayal, Brutus met with Caesar at the ruler's home. He again convinced Caesar that if he failed to show for the meeting, the senators would look upon him as a tyrant or a weakling.
Inside the Senate, at around noon, Caesar took a seat on his golden throne as his enemies took the stage, having snuck in daggers under their togas.
Once the meeting was underway, Caesar, was approached by the hard drinking and hard fighting Tillius Cimber. Cimber disrespected Caesar by coming up to him with his hands out instead of keeping them humbly beneath his toga. Then, Cimber grabbed Caesar's toga and pulled it from his shoulder.
The pain of the blades was secondary to the pain Caesar felt as a result of his friend's betrayal.
The conspirators immediately hit the streets, seeking public support by denouncing Caesar as a tyrant. But, both the public and Caesar's army were more divided than they'd hoped. Instead of peace, a civil war was unleashed.
Brutus and Cassius would die soon after their betrayal. Cassius had one of his men decapitate him. Brutus, then seeing his own defeat as inevitable, killed himself.
Marc Antony and Octavian divided Rome and its territories between them, and after Antony's death, Octavian became Caesar Augustus.
Rome was no longer a Republic. It was an Empire.
3. Allowing these defects to flourish can have a widespread negative effect on others.
