How do headteachers reflect on their own professional practice to help them sustain themselves and improve secondary schools? This is a book about the realities of secondary headship and explores the significance of reflexivity in supporting school leadership. This book draws on a longitudinal study of seven secondary school headteachers within the same metropolitan area. This book also offers a view of professional practice at a time when headteachers are increasingly free from the collaborative structures of Local Education Authorities and therefore need to look towards each other. The book shows that all headteachers in the study reflected on their professional practice at an operational level. It also found that they all were able to be reflexive almost to the degree of co-researching with the participant researcher headteacher. Finally a majority of the sample were also able to use meta-reflection to help then process decision making in their schools. This book is relevant not only to headteachers but also to policymakers and educationalists interested in how to improve schools over the long-term and sustain the workforce of headteachers in order to benefit the system.


When Manchester United plays Sheriff Tiraspol in Group E on Thursday night, they will want to at least get the point they need to advance to the Europa League knockout rounds.
The visitors from Moldova to Old Trafford are now in third place in their group with just one victory, three points behind Real Sociedad, who are unbeaten.
Despite losing to Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on September 8, the Red Devils haven’t lost two group-stage European games in a single campaign at the Theatre of Dreams since the 1996–97 Champions League. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their previous six games overall.
Sheriff Tiraspol’s recent switch to a three-man backline has not had the desired impact. Although the Moldovan powerhouses started their Europa League campaign with an impressive 3-0 victory over Omonia, they have since found it difficult to compete with the Group E heavyweights.
Sheriff has since lost twice to Real Sociedad by an aggregate score of 5-0, following a 2-0 defeat by Man United on matchday two. Any slim hopes the visitors have of moving on to the knockout rounds will be dashed if they lose at Old Trafford.
Man United defeated Sheriff 2-0 earlier this season, and the new manager’s arrival cannot come soon enough for a Sheriff team still suffering from Tomas’s untimely departure. Jadon Sancho and the recently fired Cristiano Ronaldo both scored.
While Anthony Martial, Brandon Williams, and Axel Tuanzebe are still out, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Harry Maguire are all still in the running. In order to complete qualification as quickly as possible, Ten Hag should stay with a first-choice XI.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford
Sheriff Tiraspol possible starting lineup:
Celeadnic; Kiki, Radeljic, Kpozo; Guedes, Badolo, Salifu, Heron; Akanbi, Vizeu, Atiemwen
- Location: Manchester, England
- Stadium: Old Trafford
- Date: Thursday 27 October
- Kick-off Time: 20:00 BST / 15:00 EST / 12:00 PST
- VAR: Marco Fritz (GER)
- Referee: Anastasios Sidiropoulos (GRE)

This beauty was the cake that I made this year for my mom’s birthday. Making it is very easy and it had fewer calories than the traditional way to make a boxed cake. I used a can of diet lemon-lime soda instead of what the box tells you to use then baked it according to the directions on the box.
For the frosting, I used a tub of Fat Free Whipped Topping (think Cool Whip) and a package of sugar-free strawberry jello mix. I added a layer of frosting and strawberries in between the layers of cake and then frosted the rest of the cake and topped with sliced strawberries. It was great and lower in calories than what we might have had otherwise.

The 2017 edition of the popular Caribbean Welders 9-a-side Fishing Pond Football League kicks off on July 1 with teams vying for the first prize of $30,000.
Chief organiser Prakash Ramkissoon yesterday thanked profusely the Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan for fulfilling his promise of commencing the paving of the North Oropouche road which had been in dire need of repair.
Ramkissoon said the deteriorating state of the road had affected the league last year with a few regular teams deciding not to participate.
He noted though that the Fishing Pond road has not yet been paved for several years and is also in need of attention. Ramkissoon expressed gratitude to title sponsor Caribbean Welders and its Managing Director Peter Park for again donating the first prize and continuing to partner with the league which has been going strong for over a decade.
He said plans to introduce a women’s league continue to be shleved because there is no proper changing faciloity for female players at the ground.
He reiterated his call for floodlights to be installed at the Fishing Pond Recreation Ground which he says is a hub of activity year-round with cricket and football. Second- place for this year’s football will take home $7,000 and a trophy with the third-place team getting $3,000 and a trophy.
The winner of the round robin stage will get $1,000 and the Raffie “Morock” Mohammed Trophy.
There will also be trophies for MVP, Golden Boot, First Hat-trick, Most Disciplined Team, Best Defender, Best Goalkeeper etc.
The league opens July 1 with the annual march past of teams.
The march past winner will get $1,000 and a trophy. Registration is $2,500 per team which includes 14 players. Any additional player registered costs $300.
The deadline for registration is June 20. For more info call Ramkissoon at 339-6778.

Please join the stunning Mrs. Clark and I for an evening with friends at Cupcake Royale in Bellevue next Friday, where some of my photos are hanging through the end of February!
This is a great opportunity, and I’m honored that Cupcake Royale approached me to install some work on their walls. The photos I’ve placed there so far are a mixture of color and black & white, digital and film. All the details are listed below.
Hope to see you there!
Event: Artist Presentation, Kurt Clark (bio below)
Collection Name: “Bellevue Exposed” (collection description is below)
Date/Time: Friday February 24, 2012 – 6pm to 8pm
Location: Cupcake Royale, 21 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue WA 98004
A local three-piece band will be playing at the event.
Cupcakes and drinks will be available for sale at the event (they are stocking extra that day).
Bellevue Exposed is a gallery show dedicated to King County’s second largest city; it invites viewers to look past what is commonly known about Bellevue, by digging deep to find the sometimes-hidden details which make it unique. From its older suburban neighborhoods to its wide urban streets, Bellevue fills the huge territorial gap between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish. It grew fast in the 1960s and 70s to become a place where quiet homes, a dynamic downtown core, and vast park lands stand tall today in equal measure. Like the city itself, the works seen in Bellevue Exposed are a diverse mixture made from black & white and color – all taken by Kurt Clark: local blogger and photographer.
Kurt has been taking pictures in the Seattle area since the mid-1970s, and could be considered a “generalist” in method and a “realist” in style. While he edits and uses filtering in some his photos, Kurt rarely manipulates the images to the point of being unrecognizable from the original. His goal has always been to capture life as it happens, not to create something life is not. There is plenty of beauty and interest in everyday subject matter, enough that he chooses to find and share the sometimes-unreal features that appear in real life. Kurt uses a variety of equipment to capture Bellevue’s unseen layers – including his Android camera phone, digital camera, plus 35mm film and 120 film formats. He did not stop shooting film when digital cameras overpowered the market over the last decade, and continued to favor the organic warmth of a film photography for certain subject matter – especially when shot in black & white. Since film is still available, he has expanded his collection of film cameras to include a Zeiss Ikon rangefinder from the 1960s, Pentax K1000 SLR from the 1970s, a Canon AE1 from the 1980s, and a plastic “Holga” medium-format toy camera. Works from these cameras can be seen in the collection.
Cars, buildings, landscapes, skylines, weather, infrastructure, and Bellevue’s people are all represented in Bellevue Exposed, which pulls viewers under the surface to see what truly makes the city tick. We invite you to view each photo in numbered order with a handout available at the presentation. Descriptions of each work detail the location, back story, and equipment used to capture the moment.
Kurt Clark is a life-long Pacific Northwester. He has lived in Washington since 1969, and grew up in Shoreline WA. Kurt was introduced to photography by his grandfather – a long time photography enthusiast – and still has some of his old camera equipment. In 1978 Kurt became hooked on photography while on the junior high annual staff, taking black & white pictures around school with his Mom’s Kodak Signet 35. He spent time in the 1980s capturing Seattle before the region’s population exploded. These days he uses the skills tempered by years of shutter work to capture the sights and streets of the Eastside for the Bellevue-PI blog. He rarely leaves the house without a camera of some kind – whether it be digital or film.
Kurt holds a degree in English from Washington State University, and has lived in Bellevue since 1991 with his wife and two sons.

This is not new. It's also not peculiar to Dallas-Fort Worth or the wider Cowboys Nation.
It's always the coach.
When I was a boy, just after the invention of sound recordings and the combustible engine, my uncles in Chicago were Bears fans. When a television wasn't available, which was frequently, they would sit and stand around a radio and listen to the Bears, who were frequently losing. They would loudly and colorfully decry the idiocy of George Halas, who owned and coached the team. They regularly demanded his dismissal or imprisonment or deportation, whichever could be achieved first.
That was my first exposure to coach-directed fan anger, but I'm aware baseball managers have been feeling it for decades upon decades. It was a little before my time around the team, but it's well known that media and fans regularly wanted Tom Landry's fedora on a stick in the early days of the Cowboys franchise.
Television, and to a much greater extent the internet and social media, have only thrown virtual gasoline on the fire. We're not a patient society. Perhaps you've noticed. If we don't like things right now, fire 'em all. That's always the first solution, and every coach knows it. Ninety-nine percent of coaches got their job because someone else was fired. Why would they be immune?
Because you're smart and way ahead of Your Humble Correspondent, you know this subject is broached because of the Cowboys' current losing streak. And it's not even just the losing of games, although that would surely be enough. The losing of three games that were a standstill at halftime and a disaster in the second half has pitchforks and torches being amassed and handed out in the town square.
Inevitably, a disappointing season, *particularly *one that includes such an unprecedented and totally unexpected stretch as the current one, leads to questions about the coaches. Are they culpable? It can't all be injuries and bad luck, can it?
The answers, of course, are yes and no. Yes, the coaches are culpable. Of course, they are. They're part of the team, aren't they? And no, it's not all bad luck, even though bad luck plays a part.
But everyone with a Twitter account can point a finger and lob a half-clever verbal grenade. It's much trickier and more demanding to try to find real solutions to complicated problems, especially problems your critics and customers don't think are complicated. Much tougher. So let's try.
First, although a lot of you won't like hearing it, the same staff that is bumbling its way to 5-6 out of Thanksgiving guided the team to 13-3 a year ago. With just a couple of exceptions, it's the same staff that was 12-4 in 2014. That counts for something, and it's not nostalgia.
It means these guys know how to coach. The question then becomes, why are they having problems getting desired results from this particular team?
Some of it is coaching mistakes. They don't shy away from that. Just because you don't see them all in sackcloth and ashes doesn't mean they're not having the same kinds of conversations that you and I are, except for one small item: They know stuff we don't.
It's like the misnomer of halftime adjustments. Coaches aren't just trying to fix things when you lose a game. They see what went wrong in a win, too, and they try to fix those things before they become problems.
When the history of this season is written, it may come with the evaluation that The Decision Makers may have been penny-wise and pound-foolish by letting* all* of those experienced players go. They may not have had a choice. They couldn't have matched (just for a couple of examples) the money Ron Leary got in Denver or Barry Church did in Jacksonville. That's part of the NFL, managing the salary cap.
But they miss those players. They weren't keeping Leary, who was getting money and a starting job. Could they have kept Church? Maybe, if they'd wanted to earlier in the process. But the same people who built this great offensive line and constructed the machine that two of the past three years has been to the playoffs, decided that it was time to try to retool the defense.
They drafted three defensive backs who made the team. They didn't know that all three of them would be injured in training camp and miss irreplaceable time. The lost summer of Chido Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods has some part in this streak.
The front office, guaranteed, will review its veteran free-agent process. Having been burned by big money spent on veterans in the past, they made adjustments. The last few years they have tried to find bargain help in the marketplace, which is exactly how the folks who invented football up in New England do it.
Stephen Paea and Nolan Carroll were supposed to be important depth pieces, at least, in the defense. Injuries knocked them out, and with the injuries to Awuzie and Lewis slowing their progress, coaches were left with depleted talent to coach.
And "coaching" means a lot of things. It means working with players to improve technique, and it means teaching them the game plan. And yes, it means making changes to schemes and lineups on the fly when what you're doing isn't working. It's all of that.
Sometimes your playing talent is so exceptional, average coaching can't stop it. Sometimes coaches who can't see problems coming before they exist wind up getting caught behind the curve. Sometimes you have key players you're counting on take a step back and they're not the players you thought you had. The whole plan is now flawed. The best coaches see those problems coming and are able to stay one step ahead of them.
And sometimes coaches and coaching staffs have bad years, like players do. They're just harder to measure. We know what the best coaches do. Bum Phillips once said about Bear Bryant (and it's been said by others and about others), "He could take his'n and beat your'n. Or your'n and beat his'n." There aren't a lot of those, not in the 21st century NFL.
So if you are a coach without a whole lot of hardware, and you have a stretch where you can't take your'n and beat anyone's, you know what's coming. Got complicated problems? Sorry. Give us some simple solution and be quick about it. Or step aside, so they can get us someone else we'll think incompetent sooner than later.

WASHINGTON, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Many homeowners with financial problems, especially those at risk of foreclosure, feel overwhelmed and don't know where to turn for help. Unfortunately, they often become targets to a growing number of individuals who claim they can "rescue" people from their mortgage problems. This often leads to high fees, greater debt, and many times, the eventual loss of the home. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling® (NFCC®) wants homeowners to know that even if foreclosure seems inevitable, help is available, often at little or no cost.

As pervasive as cloud technology is -- and as persuasive as the arguments are for using it -- the cloud has its limits. Some companies will always have security concerns about storing data in the cloud and certain high-transaction applications will always be better suited for on-premises storage. Those statements were among the bottom-line takeaways delivered at Cloud Expo this week, a three day, bi-annual event focused on cloud technologies, adoption and associated challenges.

Franklin staff chips in for cheer
A donation pool was started after staff from the Franklin Elementary School were made aware that a student and his family were struggling financially this month and won’t be celebrating Christmas.
“Everybody has those times in their life,” said Principal Brad Winter. “They were in a tough time and just needed a little bit of help.”
After unforeseen circumstances, the family that wasn’t named out of respect, had to shift their finances to cover other expenses, leaving little left for Christmas presents.
As of the date of publication, Winter said staff at Franklin as raised just over $400 in gift cards for stores in the area like Wal-Mart, Caseys, and Hy-Vee as well as some cash.
“It’s not really a program, it’s just a thing that we do when a family is in need and we help them out,” Winter said.
He added that Page and Lincoln’s staffers are also doing the same type of donation pool to help the families of students who may need a little bit of help.
“I think our schools around here are pretty good about supporting each other and the kids that go to school there,” Winter said. “Especially around the holidays, it’s nice to not stress about food and gas and those things we need.”

Maple Leafs 6, Canadiens 4
Saturday, December 15, 2001
Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario
Not much is going wrong for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Gary Roberts had two goals and an assist to lead Toronto to a 6-4 victory over the Montréal Canadiens on Saturday night and extend the Maple Leafs’ winning streak to five games.
“Things have gone really well for us the last couple of weeks,” Toronto’s Shayne Corson said. “We’re starting to get used to playing with each other. Hopefully, we can keep going.”
Corson added a goal and two assists for Toronto, which outshot Montréal 48-16.
Darcy Tucker, Robert Reichel and Dmitri Yushkevich also scored for the Maple Leafs, who have won seven of eight and lead the Eastern Conference with 45 point.
“Everyone contributed,” Roberts said. “When Mats Sundin’s line doesn’t score, normally this is team is in trouble, but other lines helped the team win.”
Benoît Gratton, Stéphane Quintal, Richard Zednik, and Mike Ribeiro scored for the Canadiens, who had their four-game unbeaten streak snapped.
“It was our worse gamt in the last few weeks,” Montréal’s Yanic Perreault said. “When you score four goals, you should win the game, but it’s tough when you allow that many.”
Roberts, who did not score in November, has five goals in the Leafs’ five-game winning streak, including a hat trick against the New York Rangers on December 6.
Roberts’ goal in the second period gave Toronto a 3-1 lead. His eighth goal of the season, with 0.3 seconds left in the second, pushed the Leafs’ lead to 4-2.
“I just knew I didn’t have a lot of time yet,” Roberts said.
Gratton had just left the penalty box when teammate Patrice Brisebois intercepted Alexander Mogilny’s centering pass, made a long pass up the middle to Gratton, who scored his first goal of the season on the breakaway for a 1-0 Montréal lead.
Yushkevich’s wrist shot from the point tied it at 8:24 of the first, and Corson made it 2-1 with a wrist shot at 16:53 of the period.
Roberts passed to Tomas Kaberle, who faked a shot and fed back to Roberts, who beat goalie José Théodore with a backhander at 13:10 of the second.
Quintal scored just over two minutes later.
Roberts scored from behind the net on a power play when his centering pass bounced off Montréal defenceman Sheldon Souray and into the net.
Tucker made it 5-2 with his 10th goal of the season at 4:23 of the third.
NOTES: Tie Domi passed Dave “Tiger” Williams for first place on the Maple Leafs’ career penalty minute list (1,672). Domi was upset they didn’t post the record on the video board. “It just goes to show you that certain people don’t like that part of the game,” Domi said. “My teammates and coaches appreciate it.” … Toronto outshot Montréal 14-4 in the first period…The Maple Leafs have scored a power-play goal in five straight games…Goalie Jeff Hackett replaced Théodore at 17:08 of the third…The Maple Leafs’ 48 shots were a season high…Former Leaf Doug Gilmour received a long standing ovation when the Leafs honoured him on the video board.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive.
No. The Industrial Radio Fretsense™ system only works when the Fretsense instrument, interface and cable are used together.
No. We do not sell the IR MIDI electronics separately. It is actually a very complex process to retrofit an instrument with our system and we do not have the staff to provide the technical support that would be needed to support such projects.
No, we do not sell our guitars through stores. Fretsense guitars are naturally costly to produce because the product is like having two great products rolled into one. A quality guitar construction on the one hand and a top-of-the-line MIDI system on the other. If we put the instruments through stores they would probably double in price.
No, the 13-pin standard uses "pitch-to-voltage" technology for MIDI conversion. The Fretsense system was actually designed to replace "pitch-to-voltage" MIDI systems by providing greatly improved MIDI tracking.
Industrial Radio Fretsense guitars are not designed to be compatible with such products and to our knowledge these systems are not natively compatible.
No. We are not a custom guitar business.
Yes. See our Return Policy here.
No, Fretsense instruments do not have internal sounds. The concept behind our product is to provide an ultra low latency, high quality MIDI signal that can be connected to hundreds of sound modules and software plugins that have been developed over the last 40 years.
We have recently discovered that certain strings with coated/painted ball ends can cause intermittent problems with Fretsense instrument performance. We encourage our users to avoid these types of strings.
Unfortunately, we can't give our customers an exact landed price for an instrument because we cannot exactly predict what customs fees a shipment will incur prior to shipping. Customs related fees are determined at the time of shipment and depend on many factors which differ from country to country. We can only give you a fixed price for the instrument and shipping charges.
Yes, but build times may be longer than those published on the site.
No. Fretsense instruments are not ideally suited to work with off-the-shelf wireless systems for guitar due to the high number of connections to and from the bass.
The Industrial Radio Fretsense system was designed for professional bassists and guitarists working both live and in the studio. The instrument is intended to work with MIDI compatible devices and was never intended to be a games controller and doesn't try to interact with these types of games. We discourage the purchase of a Fretsense instrument purely for this application.

When we hear the words ‘investing’ and ‘real estate’, a trigger goes off in our minds, and we immediately think of dollar signs and how much money we’ll make from it. Before you jump into this long-term relationship, you should realise that your success depends heavily on your finances and factors that could impact it. Investing in real estate takes much forethought, and you need to take the good with the bad. You could make a decent penny, but it could also be a high risk.
No Emotional Decisions
When you’re investing in real estate, it’s important to not make an emotional investment into the property in which you’re interested. You’re not personally going to live in your investment, or if you do plan on living in it, it’s not for the rest of your life. Buying real estate in Australia mean thinking like a business person and this could mean picking a building in an area you don’t like and in a style you find ugly.
Plan For The Unexpected
When you’re planning to invest, you need to lay out a detailed and in-depth budget for what you can afford to invest. You need to consider what you can afford to put down as a down payment as well as if you require finances. You need to ensure you can afford your monthly repayments as well as tax and council fees you might have to pay throughout the year.
Your first investment should be low cost. Once you’ve gotten the feel of the real estate market, then you can think of frying some bigger fish. Until then, a lower cost investment will mean less of an expense and a quicker return on your investment.
Do Your Research
It’s important to know the area in which you’re buying property, the people that live in the area and the demographics. This allows you to know your market and appeal to people who’ll be attracted by the location of your property.
If you’re making your first real estate investment, it isn’t always a good idea to ask a friend for advice. Each person is different and so are their investments.
By contacting the Wise Guru, you can enjoy personalised and tailored advice on your investment needs, so you get the best return on your investment.

More people have died while taking selfies than have been killed by sharks so far this year
- Data shows that 12 people so far this year have died trying to take a selfie
- This compares to eight people who have been killed by a shark in 2015
- Most selfie-related deaths are caused by falling or being struck by a moving vehicle
Millions of people across the world everyday hold up their cameras to snap selfies to share with their friends.
But according to new data, more people have died taking selfies than have been killed by sharks this year.
So far in 2015, a total of 12 people are known to have suffered selfie-related deaths after either falling or being struck by a moving vehicle when taking a picture of themselves.
Experts believe that people putting themselves in more dangerous situations to take selfies has resulted in a rise in people dying trying to take self-portraits (file picture)
However, according to data compiled by Mashable, only eight people are known to have been killed by a shark.
And experts believe the rise in selfie-related deaths could be down the fact people are more willing to put themselves in dangerous situations, such as with animals or posing from great heights, to impress friends on social media.
This has also prompted wildlife parks to close as officials were concerned about people wanting to take selfies with wild bears, while some cyclists have spoken of how spectators should be banned from taking pictures of themselves while watching the Tour de France.
The latest figures come after a 66-year-old Japanese man became the 12th person this year to die while taking a selfie after falling down some steps and suffering a heart attack.
According to new figures, 12 people have died so far this year taking selfies, while only eight people have been killed in shark attacks (file picture)
Hideto Uedo was believed to have been taking a photograph at the Royal Gate when the incident occurred.
Meanwhile Australian tourist Kristi Kafcaloudious plummeted 200 metres to her death while trying to take pictures near a rock face in Norway.
A Singaporean tourist also plunged to their death while attempting to take a selfie off the coast of Bali and another tourist was also gored to death in a Spanish town as he tried to take a picture during a bull run.
Meanwhile in January, two young men blew themselves up in the Urals in Russia while taking a selfie holding a hand grenade with the pin pulled out.
The Russian interior ministry have issued a road sign-style leaflet and video warning that taking a 'cool selfie could cost you your life'
And in May, a teenager in the Ryazan region died while attempting to take a selfie as he climbed on a railway bridge and accidentally came into contact with live wires.
This prompted the Russian interior ministry to issue a road sign-style leaflet and video warning that taking a 'cool selfie could cost you your life.'
Among the advice is not taking a self portrait with a gun or posing alone in front of a lion.
Yelena Alexeyeva, an aide to the interior minister, said: 'Unfortunately we have noted recently that the number of accidents caused by lovers of self-photography is constantly increasing.'
'Since the beginning of the year we are talking about some hundred cases of injuries for sure.'

Emergency actions must followOn Monday, the Bank of Korea (BOK) pushed the base rate to the untested level of zero territory — 0.75 percent — through a 50 basis-point cut in its first extraordinary move since the Wall Street meltdown in October 2008.
The cut was hastened by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s surprise cut of 1 percentage point in its target range on Sunday. Despite the stunning rate cut accompanied by quantitative easing from the U.S. central bank, panicky sell-offs persisted in the Korean market to push shares and currency lower on Monday. The BOK inevitably had to step in.
How much the rate cut will aid sentiment remains unclear, as domestic demand has not been able to pick up despite years of low interest rates. Pessimism has spread as borders are sealed for quarantine and global supply chains have broken from the epidemic. Skeptics expect an impact worse than the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008-2009. The persistent “Sell Korea” underscores our economy’s vulnerability to global downturns as it relies heavily on exports.
The sense of urgency, however, cannot be felt in the Blue House or the government. In an interview, Kim Sang-jo, the president’s policy chief, claimed that quarantines can be the best economic policy. Kim Yong-beom, vice minister for strategy and finance, claimed that our economic fundamentals and financial system remain solid.
Such upbeat tones cannot hide the looming perfect storm. Moreover, unlike in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, there is little policy ammunition left. The interest rates were relatively high then, allowing the central bank to shave the base rate by 75 basis points, followed up by five more cuts. Currency swaps with developed economies like the United States and Japan also provided protection.
But the defense front is no longer that strong. Foreign exchange reserves are sufficient now, but cannot be guaranteed. Foreigners have sold off nearly $10 billion in Korean shares since the virus broke out late January in Korea. The crisis could go out of control if foreign exchange turns wobbly while the government relies on deficit-financed fiscal stimuli amid low interest rates and waning export competitiveness.
Deputy Prime Minister for the Economy, Hong Nam-ki, failed to demonstrate a strong command of economic affairs, wrangling with the ruling party head over a supplementary budget and dropping into a mask factory for a photo opportunity. The economic leadership must extend currency swaps as well as other emergency actions.

Former Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi is set to complete a move to the South African Premier Soccer League
The ‘Big Boss’ recently signed a management deal with the Johannesburg-based Quality Talent Sports and fcnaija.com has been told the former Nigeria international is close to signing with a South African club.
“We have made some progress as it regards getting a club for Stephen Keshi, which is our mandate,” CEO of Quality Talent Sports, Tim Sukazi said.
“We have spoken to some clubs here in South Africa but we cannot reveal their identities at this point because the league is still on and it will not be good for the clubs involved,” he stated.
Keshi’s last job was with the Super Eagles of Nigeria, from where he was fired last year, but it is now understood he could be in the dugout for a South African club at the start of the 2016/17 Premier Soccer League.
The 54-year old has previously coached the senior national teams of Togo and Mali, qualifying the Hawks of Togo to the 2006 World Cup, even though he didn’t lead them to the tournament proper in Germany.

Occupational therapy services:
What is Driving Matters?
McCulloch, Harrison and Partners OT’s recognise how neurological conditions significantly affect a patients ability to return to driving, and realise the impact of this on a patients independence and identity. They therefore developed an off-road driving assessment and re-education programme for patients who have the potential to return to safe and competent driving, with or without adaptations.
Driving Matters started in January 2011 and has become a well-established service on offer. Many doctors refer patients to us specifically for driving assessments, whilst other patients find us independently, or are existing patients of ours who have progressed to the point of wanting to drive again.
The driving assessment is designed to assess a range of skills needed for driving, including cognition, vision, perception, physical abilities and reaction speed. The assessment also includes knowledge of road rules and a static car performance to assess how you operate the primary and secondary controls in your car. It usually takes 2-2.5hours to complete which is also a test of mental and physical endurance important for driving.
If you pass this off-road assessment, a referral is made to a driving instructor to conduct a brief on-road assessment to complete the process of ensuring you are safe and competent. Driving lessons may also be recommended if these are needed to refine certain skills and improve driver confidence.
The risks involved in returning to driving after an injury/medical condition without being retested are significant, to the patient and others on the road. It also poses problems with the traffic law and with insurance companies, so it is strongly encouraged.
How do I make an appointment with Driving Matters?
To make an appointment, please phone RehabMatters reception on 011 803 6649 or contact Haley Norval or Sacha Hildebrandt (email@example.com) via email.
What happens if I do not pass the off-road driving assessment?
In the event you do not pass the off-road assessment, the assessing therapist will expain why and make appropriate recommendations. It may be that you require a referral to an optometrist for new glasses or visual retraining, or you may benefit from a period of therapy to improve certain skills that are sufficiently impaired to affect your driving. After a period of time, you can be reassessed for driving, pending your progress in therapy. In the worst case scenario, it may be that the reasons you failed the assessment are too significant and/or permanent, and returning to driving is not possible.

Impairment of the central cholinergic system has a pivotal role in the cognitive decline observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). One of the most prominent cholinergic deficits is the reduced number of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the brain. Since these receptors are important for memory and learning, enhancing nicotinic neurotransmission is a promising treatment strategy for AD. The two most common approaches to correcting these cholinergic deficits are to increase the synaptic availability of acetylcholine (ACh) by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), or to mimic the effects of ACh (nicotinic agonists) by acting directly on nicotinic receptors. Clinical studies suggest that AChE inhibitors produce only short-term symptomatic improvement. Similarly, long-term use of nicotinic agonists may induce desensitization of nicotinic receptors, leading to tolerance and therefore limiting the duration of efficacy. Allosteric modulation of nAChR is a novel approach, which circumvents the development of tolerance. Allosteric modulators bind to a site on nAChR that is different to the binding site of the natural agonist, ACh. This allosteric interaction amplifies the actions of ACh at post- and presynaptic nAChR. In particular, presynaptic nAChR are capable of modulating the release of ACh and other neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, serotonin and GABA, which may contribute to symptoms of the illness. Allosteric modulation of nAChR could therefore produce significant therapeutic benefit in AD. One of the most potent of these allosteric modulators is galantamine. As well as modulating nAChR, galantamine inhib- its AChE. The extent to which the clinical benefits of galantamine are attributable specifically to its nicotinic effects is uncertain and requires further investigation. However, galantamine maintains patients' level of cognitive and daily function for at least 1 year, which has not been reported for other AChE inhibitors. Galantamine's modulatory effects on nAChR may influence transcriptional regulation, resulting in an increased synthesis of nAChR. This may account for galantamine's sustained efficacy.

The International Building Quality Centre launched last week will provide a collaborative forum through which systems, practices and codes can be scrutinised and best practice solutions found.
The centre’s opening at the University of Canberra comes after many jurisdictions, both around Australia and globally, face challenges with building defects and a lack of compliance and enforcement of regulations.
“This centre has come out of the need to look at legislation, regulations and requirements of the building industry to make sure we have the right standards and quality of buildings going up, into the future,” says Professor Charles Lemckert, who heads the university’s school of design and built Environment and is a member of the centre’s board.
“We now have the opportunity to step back, have a look at the industry, and make it better,” Lemckert adds.
The board, chaired by Kim Lovegrove, also includes the Australian Building Codes Board’s chief Neil Savery, construction law reformer Bronwyn Weir, the World Bank's Alejandro Espinosa-Wang, Canadian law reformer Michael De Lint and esteemed construction specialist Professor Robert Whittaker AM.
According to Lovegrove, the centre will “gain ascendancy at a time when building regulation and codes are being redesigned” in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire in the United Kingdom, and building defect issues around the world.
“Fractures in the pillars of building control are emerging that are challenging some of the assumptions that have underpinned modern day building regulatory architecture,” Lovegrove says.
The Property Council and its members welcome the centre’s establishment, says Francesca Muskovic, the Property Council’s national policy manager for sustainability and regulatory affairs.
“The Property Council takes the issue of building quality very seriously. We are already undertaking proactive policy development in collaboration with Master Builders Australia and Kim Lovegrove to reconsider best practice policy in response to the issue of building defects,” Muskovic says.
“Two years after the Shergold Weir report into building quality was released, this new centre is a timely opportunity to identify best practice solutions that enhance safety and security, deliver quality outcomes and future-proofed assets,” Muskovic concludes.

Vienna Art Week: a talk with Robert Punkenhofer Artsy Fall.
November 11, 2020
In Vienna, fall is usually packed with design and art events, and blessedly, so is this year – same same but different. One of the yearly main events is VIENNA ART WEEK, a joint initiative of the most important exhibition houses, art spaces, educational institutions and galleries of the Austrian capital. Since 2005, the yearly event has attracted around 35,000 guests from Austria and abroad. Reason enough to meet up again with Robert Punkenhofer, the curator behind VIENNA ART WEEK, to talk about the influence of the current pandemic on the art scene and how the event will look like in this unusual year.
What you need to know about Robert Punkenhofer
Robert Punkenhofer has been a well-known face in the international corporate and art management scene for over 20 years. He runs his own art agency, Art & Idea, acting as a link between art, architecture, design and business. Robert Punkenhofer is also the curator of VIENNA ART WEEK, concentrating on showcasing independent artists. As a curator, he owns his art collection with works by the Spanish conceptual artist Santiago Sierra and the Mexican artist Teresa Margolles, who received critical acclaim at the Venice Biennale 2019. Besides art, he loves fashion and accessories and brought back to life the traditional watch manufacturer Carl Suchy & Söhne.
1- A year has passed since we last met for an interview – how are things going so far?
Robert Punkenhofer: Despite the new restrictions, it will be possible to hold the event, but in a different way and, of course, online. We built a digital platform to stay in touch with our followers and visitors. When corona broke out, we were in the middle of the organization with our key sponsors. At that point, states Robert Punkenhofer, we had to consider if Vienna Art Week could still be held or not. Finally, we decided that, no matter what, the event would take place.
“Especially this year, it’s essential to promote independent artists from and around Vienna, tour guides, etc., because they are struggling and need our support.”
2- What exact impact does the current pandemic have on artists and the scene per se?
RP: Unfortunately, a dramatic impact. If you are forced to close galleries, museums and studios, your income is almost gone. Many institutions acted pretty fast and went digital. I think this is definitely the best thing you can do in a situation like this. But economically, all the institutions, small and big, have had a revenue loss up to 40 per cent this year. The small galleries, for example, benefit the most from taking part in art fairs. So, not participating in art fairs threatens their very existence.
3- As an expert, do you have an advice for them?
RP: The most important thing is to reduce expenses to a minimum to simply survive. And, on the other hand, invest as much as you can in digital communication – live streams, auctions and pop-up exhibitions.
4- How will VIENNA ART WEEK look like this year, Robert Punkenhofer?
RP: All our programme partners will take part in Vienna Art Week online since right now; this is the only way possible. There will be online talks and virtual tours through museums, galleries and studios. Of course, we want to gain as much visibility as possible for local artists.
5- Which local artists thrill you the most at the moment?
RP: There are so many; Vienna Art Week has a well-curated selection of talented artists, says Robert Punkenhofer. Check the artists at the studio exhibition, a parcours that we did for the first time last year. You can see artists such as Erwin Wurm, Abramovic, Nitsch. Additionally, younger ones such as Oliver Hangl and Nives Widauer – everything online, of course.
6- Why is the motto Living Rituals, when these are a little bit difficult at the moment?
RP: First of all, we chose the theme because rituals play a big role in the art scene. Many artists have a well structured day beginning by sharpening their pens every morning before they start painting. We’d decided on this motto before corona broke out. Of course, when coronavirus hit us, we weren’t sure about the motto anymore. But the thought behind it is critical to us. Especially now, when everyone spends a lot of time online, community rituals are vanishing. So we wanted to show the importance of these rituals, even if we have to do it online right now.
7- How would you describe a typical Viennese art lover?
RP: There is this stereotype that people from the art scene only wear black, but they are quite fashion conscious too. I remember when I was a young student in New York and got my first consulting job. I was waiting for an Austrian art collector. And I could tell from a hundred meters away this was him, because of the way he dressed.
8- When you have international friends over in Vienna – where do you take them?
RP: Usually, I try to show them some of the not so touristy places because they can see those alone. When visiting Vienna for the first time, you shouldn’t miss the Kunsthistorisches Museum – one of the world’s five top museums. But mostly, says Robert Punkenhofer, I’d show small studios of independent artists in Vienna and the Danube canal’s street art.
VIENNA ART WEEK is happening online from 11 – 20 November 2020.


KABWE, Zambia – Southern Africa’s first ever Fast Track Court for tackling cases of gender-based violence has been established in Zambia, to improve delivery of justice in GBV cases. The court has been set up in Kabwe by the Government of Zambia, with support from the UN Joint Programme on Gender-Based Violence (UNFPA, UNDP, UNICEF, IOM, ILO) and with funding from the Governments of Sweden and Ireland.
In Zambia, 43 per cent of women have experienced physical violence since the age of 15, in the majority of cases from intimate partners, current data indicates.
Since the launch of the court in January 2016, more than 24 cases have been concluded successfully in the shortest possible time.
Survivors of GBV, especially children, generally experience difficulties when testifying in court as they have to they face their abusers, said John Mbuzi, GBV Coordinator for the court. “When a survivor is in our court, they feel free and are able to talk without fear.” This is because in the modernized court, survivors testify using a one-way window as having to face their abusers is usually a highly stressful experience.
"The purpose of the one-way window is that the survivor, who is providing evidence, will not have to make eye contact with the accused person. The people in the gallery are able to follow the proceedings on a 60-inch screen in the courtroom. The court is equipped with secure high-tech equipment that records and stores all the proceedings. This will also enable the presiding magistrate to view the proceedings at a later time,” Mr. Mbuzi said.
The new court was viewed by UNFPA Regional Director for East and Southern Africa Dr. Julitta Onabanjo, UN Zambia Resident Coordinator Ms. Janet Rogantoge, FAO Regional Representative for Africa Bukar Tijani, FAO Senior Economist Suffyan Koroma, UNFPA Zambia Representative Dr. Mary Otieno and FAO Zambia Representative George Okech, during a visit to Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi Districts of Central Province in Zambia on 26 May. They were participating in the 39th Africa Development Bank 2016 Annual Meeting on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy in Zambia.
The entourage met with the Government’s provincial staff led by the Permanent Secretary of Central Province. Projects visited included the Lukomba Rural Health Centre (see below), a conservation farming project and the Central Province blood bank.
Scaling up RMNCH in rural facilities
At Lukomba Rural Health Centre, the benefits of scaling up integrated Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (RMNCH) services, especially in rural areas, were highlighted. The facility has benefited from ongoing support for upgrading water and electricity supplies, construction of a shelter for mothers, and training for clinic staff and community volunteers.
Located 30 kilometres from Kapiri Mposhi Town and with a catchment population of 9593, the facility has to date trained 50 Safe Motherhood Action Group (SMAG) members. They have contributed to increased skilled deliveries in surrounding villages, quarterly maternal death surveillance and response activities, and the training of two staff members in midwifery and Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EMONC).
Dr. Onabanjo commended the SMAG members for their commitment to ensuring that women in remote and underserved areas have access to information and services. “You are our heroes on the ground in our collective efforts to reduce preventable maternal deaths,” she said.
The facility has improved key maternal health outcomes: between 2013 and 2015, skilled deliveries increased from 47 per cent to 59 per cent; the number of women making antenatal care (ANC) visits within the first trimester increased from 52 per cent to 68 per cent. In addition, the number of newborns who received postnatal care increased significantly.
With support from the RMNCH project funded by the United Nations, the facility is eager to record a reduction in preventable maternal, neonatal and child deaths; as well as scale up similar interventions in the district, as around 29 per cent (6 out of 21) health facilities in the district are currently supported through the UN in Zambia.

Group Releases Federal Policy Recommendations Aimed at Addressing HIV/AIDS Rates Among Hispanics
The Latino Commission on AIDS in conjunction with other Hispanic AIDS activists and health officials across the nation on Tuesday released a list of recommendations for federal policies aimed at addressing high HIV/AIDS rates in the Hispanic community, the Bergen Record reports. Hispanics, who represent 15% of the U.S. population, account for 25% of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses and 19% of people living with HIV/AIDS, according to the commission (Llorente, Bergen Record, 6/24).
The group has partnered with community organizations in eight cities and territories -- Chicago; Los Angeles; Miami; Philadelphia; Puerto Rico; New York; Washington, D.C.; and San Antonio -- to release the recommendations (Latino Hispanic AIDSaction Agenda release, 6/23).
The five pages of recommendations suggest ways to strengthen government health agency and local Hispanic community organization relationships, launch campaigns that encourage Hispanics to be tested for HIV and receive treatment, and develop a better understanding of language and cultural barriers that contribute to the group's higher risk for HIV/AIDS (Bergen Record, 6/24).
Lillian Rodriguez, president of Hispanic Federation, said, "A historic coming together of community leaders, health departments, service providers, researchers and advocates has helped us for the first time create a clear national agenda to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the [Hispanic] community" (LHAA release, 6/23).
The policy recommendation document is available online (.pdf).
