Science Education and Development: Planning and Policy Issues at Secondary Level
Francoise Caillods
G. Gottelmann-Duret
Keith Lewin
For over 30 years now large-scale investment has been made in science education throughout the world and in developing countries in particular. A handful of countries have indeed succeeded in raising their respective population's general level of scientific knowledge, but in other countries, in spite of much effort, the shortage in supply of science-trained students persists, examination achievement levels remain low, and the cost of provision so high that many children all over the world are denied access to effective science teaching. Whilst the problems of curriculum relevance have been widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the issues confronting the policy-maker and the manager in deciding how much to invest in science education, how to provide value for money or how much science to provide for how many students. This book addresses the question of how best to plan investment in science at secondary level in developing countries using insights from the studies conducted under a five-year research programme carried out by the International Institute for Educational Planning. The result is an extensive account, commentary and analysis of the main issues that the planners of science education in developing countries are likely to be confronted with when addressing the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Pilgrim's Pride, the second-largest US chicken producer, has announced that it is acquiring UK poultry company Moy Park for $1.3 billion (approximately £1 billion).
The business was put up for sale in June by Brazilian meat-packing company JBS, only two years after it had been acquired for approximately €1.3 billion.
"We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Moy Park, which will position Pilgrim's to become a global player, with an improved and more stable margin profile on the chicken business and an expanded portfolio of prepared foods," said Bill Lovette, Pilgrim's CEO.
"The acquisition gives us access to the attractive UK and European markets, which advances our strategy of diversifying our portfolio to be more global, while reducing volatility across our businesses," Lovette continued.
Positive Development
Moy Park is one of the leading poultry producers in Europe, employing more than 9,000 people in Northern Ireland.
Since the sale of the group was announced, several companies have been tipped as potential buyers, including Chinese groups New Hope and WH, along with US-based Tyson Foods, Brazil's BRF, and private-equity firm CapVest.
Under the new deal with Pilgrim's, Moy Park will remain headquartered in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, while chief executive Janet McCollum will continue to lead the business with the rest of the management team.
"This announcement is a positive development for Moy Park and all our colleagues employed across the business," said McCollum.
"Joining Pilgrim's gives us the opportunity to accelerate our growth plans, share best practices, and leverage Pilgrim's expertise and operational excellence. Moy Park will provide Pilgrim's with a platform for growth in Europe, as well as access to innovation and increased exposure to prepared foods."

NPR's Religion Reporting Too Much for Some : NPR Public Editor Listeners detect a different tone to NPR News recently. Is it simply the summer doldrums? Or could it be a conscious effort to make NPR sound different?
NPR's Religion Reporting Too Much for Some
August 24, 200512:00 AM ET
Jeffrey A. Dvorkin
Listeners detect a different tone to NPR News recently. Is it simply the summer doldrums? Or could it be a conscious effort to make NPR sound different?
Where's the Domestic News?
Nancy Courtney asks:
Why am I hearing an increased amount of international coverage? Why has the amount of regional coverage of the United States decreased? Thanks.
In my experience, the flow of news tends to have its own form of seasonal affective disorder. Here's my response to Ms. Courtney:
Traditionally, August is always a slow month for domestic (and especially for political) news. Foreign news tends to fill up the gaps for news organizations. And this has been a reasonably busy month for foreign news as well.
In my experience, savvy freelancers overseas know that they can find a ready market in North America for their wares in August and at the end of December.
I'll ask the editors if they have noticed a similar tendency.
Bill Marimow, managing editor for NPR News, thinks the domestic hiatus is temporary and asks the listeners not to adjust their receivers:
...What I would theorize is this: With the president in Crawford and Congress in recess, there is, inevitably, going to be less breaking news from the federal government.
At the same time, we have the ongoing major foreign stories in Gaza and Iraq. Given the magnitude of those issues, I would say that foreign news would likely be dominant during late August. Of course, with the hearings on Judge Roberts starting in September, the base closings issue, "No Child Left Behind," soaring energy costs and other national topics, my hunch is that the balance will soon be shifting somewhat.
'Get That off the Radio!'
Robert and Barbara Meshanko wonder if the summer is a time of declining news standards. They object to a profile of a particular music group called "Tilly and the Wall" on Weekend Edition Sunday:
We get discouraged when hearing all the promotions for your (Ombudsman) function, but not much in the way of results -- to fix what we have often written to you about:
Why, this morning (Aug. 21), is NPR NEWS doing a biographical sketch and playing the mediocre music of a group called "Tilly and the Wall" from Omaha, Nebraska? In a few months, this group will disband and leave no lasting mark on our culture, while NPR NEWS overlooked really important global matters to focus attention on such an unmeritorious subject. What are they thinking?
The Meshankos' shot stings to the quick. But I thought that "Tilly and the Wall" had merits both as music and as a story. First, it was refreshing to hear about and from Nebraska musicians because they are not from the usual bicoastal haunts. Taste in music is subjective, as we know, but I thought that Weekend Edition Sunday managed to surprise the listeners by showcasing this group. Kudos to the producers. Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Meshanko. I hope you'll hear something more to your liking.
Religion and the Rise of Listeners' Ire
A number of listeners have written to protest what they perceive as an increase in stories about religion. Many specifically objected to an Aug. 7 profile on Weekend All Things Considered of an evangelical church that has become so large it is establishing branch campuses.
From Terri Dziekonski:
I have lately come to believe that the "R" in NPR stands for religion. Why do we have to have a comment from a conservative minister on almost every news item reported? And, why does everything that goes on of a religious bent have to be reported in great detail. The coverage of the Pope's death was not the only incidence of this. There seems to me to be a distinctly right leaning to the reporting on NPR these days and I, for one, am not happy with it.
And from Jo Sullivan:
I did not write last week, but I too am dismayed and disgusted by the outpouring of religion that you have put on your programs in recent months. I do not listen to NPR to be proselytized. Christians have their own stations, and spend billions to get their message out. Why give them a free venue? Are you catering the current administration?
Reporting Is Not Preaching
Walter Watson is the senior producer of Weekend All Things Considered. He disagrees that the aim of the report was to proselytize:
Religion -- and not just Protestantism -- plays an increasingly important part of American life in politics, education and culture. We thought it was important to show how some churches are growing quickly, and how they plan to extend their influence. Some public radio listeners may object to hearing about this, but we think that it's significant and we need to report it, even if it may make some of our long-time listeners uncomfortable.
It is true that NPR has deliberately increased its coverage of religion compared to a few years ago. The roles of religion in America and in the Middle East must be followed; they are news stories that affect the listeners. A complete list of stories on religion can be found on the NPR.org Religion topic page (see link below). Unquestionably, there has been a lot of reporting on the topic.
Too Much of a 'God' Thing?
I don't doubt Walter Watson when he says the church story was valuable. But the sheer volume of stories about religion is overwhelming many listeners. Perhaps NPR News should monitor the overall amount of airtime devoted to this one subject. (I am not counting the reports of NPR's Barbara Bradley-Hagerty, whose religion reporting is erudite and balanced).
Even as many listeners sense that NPR is giving too much airtime to prominent religious groups, they also ask that NPR report on developments in other religions that address the spiritual questions of the day.
To which, one can only say, "Amen."

On the previous releases, Í Blóði og Anda (2002), Masterpiece of Bitterness (2005), Köld (2009), Svartir Sandar (2011), and Ótta (2014), they ignored all genre borders, both metal and mental ones, and pushed the boundaries. The album was produced by Birgir Birgisson (Sigur Rós, Alcest) and Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Paradise Lost, Oranssi Pazuzu) at the former swimming pool Sundlaugin on the borders of Reykjavík.

Lynxx is a super-fun (even if we do say so ourselves), challenging, creative, flexible and ambitious big data analytics consultancy. We have roots in the public transport & logistics sector but with growing practices in retail/financial services and social sciences. We have recently opened an office in Sydney to support our growth ambitions in the Asia-Pacific region.
We are looking for some new analytics champions to assist in our quest to solve our clients' problems (and making the world a better place in the process).
Have at least an honours degree in a specialist quantitative field (econometrics, business analytics, actuarial science, mathematics or physics).
Eat numbers for breakfast but also be a creative all-rounder.
See the potential in people and tasks and can turn that into new work with our clients.
Have a great attitude towards getting work done, but will enjoy working in a fun and dynamic environment.
Have a talent for languages, especially programming ones (you will probably have experience with Python and have used tools like R and Hadoop).
Be able to roll up your sleeves (you will need to make your own coffee and manage your own calendar, but we're sure you'll have an app for that).
Be the crème de la crème in your field (with an open mind to new methodologies and ways to solve problems) but be able to build a bridge between practice and theory.
Be tenacious, persistent and resilient (our copy writer wanted to say 'attack analytical problems like a dog with a bone' but we don't actually attack anything).
Be comfortable giving and getting feedback.
Thrive in diversity (of people, styles & thinking).
A unique inspiring environment with career opportunities, in a dynamic, flexible team, with a competitive salary.
An environment where learning is mandatory and failing (occasionally) is expected.
The chance to shape a start-up and the early development of the Asia Pacific business.
Fun and challenging work that will help solve the problems that society is facing today and in the future.
All the additional training you'll need to get up and running in our environment.
International work experience options with the very best colleagues (mostly in Europe, but we are growing in Australia too).
The chance to learn how to ski on the annual company ski trip (or if you can convince our European colleagues to swap skiing for the beach, you can teach everyone how to surf).
Opportunities to undertake further specialist study at the world's top universities (but we'd welcome your feedback on university ranking algorithms).
The process of adding people to our team will involve some coffee (other beverages are available), some chats, some practical challenges (data, not DIY) and some time for us all to decide whether we can work together. Occasionally we give each other job titles so we can fill in boxes on tenders, so you'll probably be called a consultant data scientist. We are based in a funky (is that what the kids say nowadays?) co-working space in Sydney.
If you can convince us that you have what it takes to join our team, we'll invite you over for a coffee. Your first challenge is to demonstrate some interesting analytics work that you've done (hint: we don't just want you to email over your C.V.). Good luck!

Banks strikes out 11, Maynard drives in three runs in 6-1 Ladybirds win over Bauxite

Emma Banks tossed six innings of scoreless softball to silence the Bauxite Lady Miners' bats en route to her 12th win of 2021. Her offense did their part as well, scoring six runs on 14 hits to give Stuttgart a 6-1 home victory.
Monday night's game was the second time Stuttgart and Bauxite played this season. The first matchup was a 6-4 win for Stuttgart on March 20. During game two of the series, the Ladybirds slowly eased away from the Lady Miners with single runs in the second and third innings before scoring two runs in both the fifth and sixth frames for the 6-1 win.
Bauxite started Alyssa Hastings, who went 5.0 innings and allowed 12 Stuttgart hits. Hastings struck out four and did not issue a walk. She was relieved in the sixth inning by Kaci West who allowed a single run in one inning of work.
After Banks' six strong innings, the Ladybirds turned to Ashlyn Eason to close the game. The freshman worked one inning and allowed one run, as well as two hits.
Madelyn Maynard continued her strong play at the plate in this game by going three out of four with three RBIs and one run scored. Erin Ludwig, Emma Banks, and Hagan Hord also had multi-hit games for Stuttgart.
The win improves Stuttgart's record to 13-1 on the season. The Ladybirds host DeWitt Tuesday night at Gina Bailey Field. DeWitt is 9-7 this season and currently leads in their conference standings with a 5-0 league record.
The game can be listened to on The Duck 105.5 KWAK FM and 102.5 KOTN FM, or on the Country 97.3 website by clicking the Stuttgart Ricebirds Baseball and Softball graphic, or through the Country 97.3 mobile app by selecting The Duck from the bottom menu. The pre-game broadcast starts at 4:15 p.m. with the first pitch scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

Lost Girls – A Gripping Portrayal of Child Sex Trafficking
By Julia VerdinSeptember 6, 2016September 14th, 2016News, Press, Reviews
by Jillian Dale
Estimated to be a $32 billion trade, sex trafficking is the largest illegal industry in the world. Lost Girls is a social message film, produced by Rough Diamond Productions, designed to educate and provide its audience with a inside story of this very dangerous assault on young girls and boys.
Marisol (Cristina Cibrian) devastated at her plight in Lost Girls.
Every mother's nightmare is the potential of a child being kidnapped. Visions of teens rolling their eyes and claiming their right, somewhat naively, to their freedom come to mind as Marisol's mother lectures the 16-year-old Marisol (Cristina Cibrian, The Middle) on the need to stay home and do her homework. To rub salt in the wound, Marisol's mother condemns Marisol's new friend, Kara (Bar Paly, NCIS, Non-Stop), as dangerous and the wrong crowd. She forbids Marisol from hanging out with Kara. Of course, in the mind of a teen, anything banned by a parent is that much more attractive; Kara becomes the fruit of the poisonous tree. When mom leaves for work, Marisol changes into a provocative dress and sneaks out to go to a club with Kara.
What happens next is frightening. Marisol is drugged and then caged in an underground sex trafficking dungeon. It is then revealed that Kara is a recruiter for the head trafficker, Romina (Marisol Nichols, 24, Big Momma's House 2) who works with Kara's very abusive boyfriend, Greg (Will Brandt, Jane the Virgin). Marisol is forced to provide sexual services to older male clients.
Kara (Bar Paly) struggles with her inner demons in Lost Girls.
Kara struggles with her inner demons as well as a confrontation by Marisol's mother, who is desperately handing out "missing" fliers seeking information on the whereabouts of her daughter. The pivotal moment comes when Kara must decide between living in fear and continued abuse from her boyfriend or doing the right thing by cooperating with police.
A long list of films produced leads Julia Verdin (Merchant of Venice, Stander, Two Jacks) to her directorial debut in Lost Girls. Verdin's directorial vision sets a very dark tone revealing the realities of child sex trafficking in the U.S. The film is gripping, compelling and emotional and it sheds light on this increasingly growing and important social issue. Technically sound with captivating cinematography by Peter Holland (The Matrix Reloaded, Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden), the film is solidly composed.
Unlike many recent films that rely on overpowering sound and special effects, Lost Girls is filmmaking at its core essence, relying on the talent and cinematography to depict the vulnerability in the story. One notable point is the masterful use of a rosary as a symbolic and powerful piece that proves to be poignant to the culmination of the story.
Verdin, who also co-wrote the script, explains the purpose for this passion project, "Millions of children worldwide are trafficked and robbed of their childhoods. Our hope is that our film will help raise awareness on this huge, growing problem and provoke conversation and action to stop human trafficking! We also hope that this film will help open the eyes of teenagers and parents to this potential danger and alert them to keep families safe and together."
The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime predicts that "by 2020, child sex trafficking will . . . overtake drugs and weapons as society's most pervasive crisis." Accordingly, Verdin's film is not only a valiant undertaking; it is extraordinarily moving.

Omar Hamed is a first year student at Auckland Uni. When he was at Takapuna High he was a founder of Radical Youth. Omar played a big part in their anti youth rates campaigns this year. Radical Youth is matey with Resistance, the youth wing of the Australian Democratic Socialist Perspective. Here's a letter that Omar wrote to his Aussie penpals lifted from the latest Green Left Weekly.
Aotearoa Radical Youth supports the Australian student strike organised for June 1. The struggle against neo-liberalism is as trans-national and trans-Tasman as the capitalist elites whose policies we oppose.
It is inspiring that the use of direct action against neo-liberalism has spread throughout the world. Whether it be French students fighting against unfair labour laws, American "illegals" protesting encroaching repression or Auckland youth mobilising for a fair and equal wage our cause is common and we value the solidarity that humanity encounters when we band together against the marginalisation, the oppression and exploitation of neo-liberalism.
The law that Australia is struggling against is based on the same philosophy as Wayne Mapp's bill here in Aotearoa. They both seek to make it easier to fire all workers and remove gains won by the working class movement, gains that took years of struggle to achieve. The laws, both here and there, will particularly affect young people as we are the ones who work in casual, low paid, non-unionised industries. We also continue to face the discrimination of youth wages. From Paris to Melbourne to Auckland we resolve that the work of the youth and students is to take the side of the oppressed and to fight for our rights. Nothing less will stem the tide of neo-liberalism. Kia Kaha. Ya Basta"

Shift Up Now Racer Ambassador Sarah Montgomery Makes Racing History In Global MX-5 Cup Series
Montgomery became the first female in the history of the series to finish on the podium in a Global Mazda MX-5 Cup race
SAINT AUGUSTINE, FL, September 14, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ — Sarah Montgomery, a member of the female racing collective of Shift Up Now, and Sick Sideways Racing made history the first weekend of September at Portland, (Oregon) International Raceway in rounds 9 and 10 of the highly competitive Battery Tender® Global Mazda MX-5 Cup Series Presented by BFGoodrich Tires®.
On Saturday, Montgomery, from Lafayette, LA, became the first female in the history of the series to finish on the podium in a Global Mazda MX-5 Cup race and defended that finish with another during Sunday's race. "My entire personal goal for this year was to become the first female ever on the podium. This series has some of the most talented drivers around and I have been heavily invested in my training. To be standing where my mentors have stood is truly a blessing," Montgomery states. "I am completely honored and humbled to be here racing on this stage with all of my partners, Team (Sick Sideways Racing) as well as my very supportive family and friends."
During Saturday morning's qualifying, Sarah's fastest lap was about a half second off the pole sitter's (John Dean) fastest time, which had her starting fifth in both races. During race one, Montgomery won a hard fought battle with teammate and former series champion, Nathanial Sparks (No. 8 – Sick Sideways Racing). Race two had much of the same clean, aggressive driving as she battled for a podium spot with Atlanta Speedwerks driver, Carter Weedon, claiming that spot with an exciting finish at the checkered flag.
"I am absolutely blown away by the amount of reach these podiums have had so far through social media, fans at the track, including Indy Car driver Sarah Fisher, Max Papis, plus phone calls and texts. It truly means the world to me to have people supporting my dreams and following me through my journey," says Montgomery.
Sick Sideways team owner John Dean states, "Since the first time Sarah and I met, I always knew she was the type of person I wanted to have on my team. Looking back, it's pretty amazing to see how far we have both come together in the highest contested series in this country," says Dean. "Now, we have made history and it's amazing to think of all the women that have been in this series and how Sarah is the first to stand on the podium. To be a part of this personally, as well as for my team Sick Sideways, is absolutely incredible."
Montgomery, Dean and Sick Sideways now prepare for the last race weekend of the season at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, September 20-22, 2019, where she will try to defend her podium finishes in her Sick Sideways, Lafayette Travel, Shift Up Now, Team One Logistics Mazda MX-5 Cup Car.
Follow Sarah and Sick Sideways through LIVE TIMING and LIVE STREAMING for the remaining event below.
"We are extraordinarily proud of Sarah and her accomplishments. We support racers by providing much needed funding, thereby boosting their own fundraising efforts in reaching their racing goals, "explains Lynn Schultz Kehoe, Founder and CEO of Shift Up Now. "Our public speaking engagements and school programs use racing to demonstrate how girls and women can embrace clarity, confidence and courage to navigate their lives and drive their future."
In addition to Shift Up Now, Montgomery and Sick Sideways are working with other partners including Lafayette Travel (Lafayette, LA.), TeamOne Logistics (Lafayette, LA.), Dailey Enterprises (Lafayette, LA.), E. Esposito Interiors (Truckee, CA.), Lemons of Love (Mount Prospect, IL.), Harrison Contracting Co. (Villa Rica, GA.), My Legal Edge (Naples, FL.), and many others have stepped up to help Sarah.

Vermont Statehouse has batteries to protect against outages
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier now has batteries that will provide power when the electricity goes out.
During times of peak electricity demand the batteries will help meet that need, reducing costs for Green Mountain Power, the utility behind the project, and its customers.
The project, believed to be the first of its kind in the country, was announced Tuesday during a virtual news conference.
"I know many think clean energy must be more expensive, but the work done today shows not only can we reduce carbon emissions, but if we are strategic, we can also save money in the process," Gov. Phil Scott said in a statement.
The lithium ion module batteries were installed in the basement of the Statehouse where a fossil fueled generator from the 1960's was once located.
Over a decade, the project is expected to save Vermont taxpayers $44,000 and another $18,000 for GMP customers while supplying clean backup power.


I would have to say this was one of the most quietest weeks that we have had in the past month and a half!
Polish toll roads are SOOOO worth the money!! Going to the beach we saved 40 minutes of driving.
"Dad here is a good spot!"
Dad was gone so the girls and I did a craft night making rings and hair barrettes.
So what is your favorite craft to do with you kids?

At some point when you create yourself to make it, you're going to have to either let that creation go and take a chance on being loved or hated for who you really are, or you're going to have to kill who you really are and fall into your grave grasping a character you never were.
My thought for today: as I read this quote today. Which phase I am in, I actually don't know. I have realized as my journey of making my film. Taking it as far as I could. It was a struggle. Yet people assumed, said things, like how easy it is for me, how privileged I am. But nobody really saw the struggle in each step. Running around, people saying crap to me, each step was a struggle. Some helped above and beyond, and some made sure, they did nothing, except complain. But I noticed how people withdrew. I made a film from heart, never wanted to be a filmmaker, yet, i became one. My passion to act, and then being in it since 2008 starting point, my journey lead me to do things, i never expected. Some hated my guts, others believed in me, when I lost hope. Some stood strong others walked out. Making a film is just material, it does not define me. Beyond that I am human being, who was never a business person. I wanted to act, I acted. Once I took a task i delivered. Beyond a film, i am human. Never went in this field to compete but only to live my passion. In that sense, i am thankful for all the support my family/friends/acquaintances gave. I believe the people who left me were my teachers and they came as blessing to teach me harsh reality of life because being a sweet person, as I-was, I would have never been able to get this far. So thank you everyone, for my journey, love, respect, hatred. I don't know what the future holds, but for sure it is always good to have gratitude & reflect about where life is today. Live in present, as no one has really seen the future. Life is short. Time is valuable, and never comes back, so seize the day. Peace Out.

Raging Speedhorn est un groupe anglais de metal extrême, originaire de Corby.

Histoire
Le groupe est formé en  après la dissolution des deux groupes Soulcellar et Box par des membres de Sourcellar le guitariste Gareth Smith, le chanteur Frank Regan (qui jouait de la batterie dans Soulcellar) et le bassiste Darren Smith, des membres de Box Tony (guitare électrique), son frère Jon Loughlin (chant) et le batteur Gordon Morison. Raging Speedhorn présente deux chanteurs, un style largement inspiré du groupe de hardcore britannique Hard to Swallow (qui comprenait Bloody Kev qui rejoindra Raging Speedhorn en tant que deuxième chanteur après le départ de Frank Regan en 2005). Le groupe se nomme d'après un jargon de scène qui fait référence à une érection après avoir pris des amphétamines. Le guitariste cubain Roddy Stone produit deux démos en  et  ; une troisième paraît. Les deux premières démos contiennent quatre chansons chacune. La première démo est fait en 800 exemplaires. Les chansons de la première démo sont dans des compilations : Knives and Faces chez Org Records, Superscud chez Century Media Records et Thumper dans une sélection du magazine Metal Hammer. Le groupe donne des concerts, notamment en  en tant que première partie de Ministry au London Astoria, ce qui accroît sa popularité. En , il se lance dans une tournée au Royaume-Uni avec Emmity et Breakneck. D'autres concerts suivent, notamment en  avec earthtone9 ainsi que Will Haven, Kittie et Slipknot. En , il fait une tournée parrainée par Metal Hammer avec Tribute to Nothing et Charger. Le premier album éponyme produit par John Friar sort en . Après cela, il fait une tournée européenne avec Biohazard en mai et des concerts en Europe et au Japon avec Amen. Le groupe est présent à l'Ozzfest en Angleterre en 2001. Le single The Gush est enregistré en juin avec Billy Graziadei et Danny Schuler de Biohazard comme producteurs. Le premier album est réédité avec ce titre. En , le groupe donne deux concerts avec Graham Coxon.

Après être apparu au Japanese Beast Fest et avoir participé à l'étape britannique de la tournée du Tattoo the Planet Festival, l'enregistrement du deuxième album commence. Il sort le  sous le nom We Will Be Dead Tomorrow. Il est à nouveau produit par Graziadei et Schuler, enregistré en grande partie à New York et mixé par Joe Barresi. Le single The Hate Song est sorti en mai. La tirade haineuse concerne principalement la politique d'entreprise des maisons de disques, puis les musiciens dressent sur le ton de l'humour des listes de haine pour les magazines musicaux : les stations-service allemandes, les discothèques allemandes et Rammstein... Le groupe anglais reste la première partie des Allemands au Royaume-Uni. Suit une tournée de deux semaines en Europe avec Ill Niño et Pitchshifter.

Après que certains membres se consacrent à d'autres projets parallèles, la compilation Live and démos sort en 2004. Il inclut des enregistrements en concert de The Garage à Londres à partir de 2000 et de l'Ozzfest de 2001, entre autres. Fin  suit l'album How the Great Have Fallen, enregistré avec le producteur Joe Barresi aux studios 2KHZ, en raison du budget plus restreint. Une reprise de la chanson de Kiss God of Thunder est créée au cours de cet enregistrement. Avant même la sortie de l'album, Regan quitte le groupe et est remplacé par Bloody Kev d'Iron Monkey. En 2005, le groupe participe à la fois au Download Festival et à With Full Force pour la deuxième fois. Après une tournée aux États-Unis avec Hypocrisy, Soilent Green, With Passion, Nile et Decapitated début , le bassiste Smith quitte le groupe et est remplacé par le frère de Jay, Dave Thompson. En 2007, le groupe donne sa version de 30$ Bag à la compilation hommage à Eyehategod For the Sick .
