Many people put doctor visits on the backburner during the COVID-19 pandemic. But as we emerge into a semi-vaccinated world, it’s important for families to get their wellness back on track. Parents may have delayed care for their children, but now is the perfect time to ensure kids are up to date on their vaccinations – and not just for COVID-19.
August is National Immunization Awareness Month, a great time to learn more about the vaccines your child needs to stay healthy. Pediatric immunizations are essential in protecting children from diseases. Polio, measles, diphtheria, and other diseases are nearly eradicated in the United States due to vaccinations. Over the years, vaccines have saved millions of lives.
Some vaccines contain the same antigens (germs the body recognizes as “foreign invaders”) that cause disease, but in vaccines, the antigens are killed or weakened to the points where they don’t cause illness. They are, however, strong enough to make the immune system produce antibodies that lead to immunity. Vaccines are a much safer substitute for a child’s first exposure to a disease. Through vaccination, children can develop immunity without suffering from the actual disease.
Vaccines By Age
Children need vaccines and booster shots from the time they are born until they are 18 years of age. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends parents follow a vaccine schedule to best protect their child. If parents follow that schedule, their children will be protected from 14 potentially deadly diseases before their first two years of life, and booster shots later in childhood and adolescence act as further protection. Multiple vaccines often can be given during the same doctor visit. This means fewer trips to the doctor’s office, thereby reducing a child’s anxiety. Children will receive many of their first doses of vaccine between two months and 23 months of age, and most of their boosters at 4 to 6 years of age.
As kids reach their preteen years, parents should also vaccinate their children against human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV vaccine is considered extremely effective. The HPV vaccine is the only vaccine that protects against nine strains of HPV infection and the development of HPV-related cancers, such as cervical and penile cancer. Girls and boys should receive their first dose at age 11, though it can be administered as early as age 9. Dose two should be administered six to 12 months after the initial immunization. Adolescents who wait until age 15 or older for their first dose will need three doses of the vaccine.
Doctors usually give the HPV vaccine when administering other vaccines to preteens, including the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis booster and the meningitis vaccine.
Back to School
Pediatric immunizations are an excellent way to protect members of your community. Unvaccinated children can spread illness to those who are unable to be immunized, such as newborns and people with weakened immune systems.
Children also need up-to-date immunizations to attend school and participate in extracurricular activities. Below are the most commonly required vaccines:
- Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTap) Vaccine
- Meningococcal Conjugate (MenACWY) Vaccine
- Hepatitis B Vaccine
- Measles, Mumps, & Rubella (MMR) Vaccine
- Haemophilus Influenzae Type b (Hib) Vaccine
- Pneumococcal (PCV) Vaccine
- Rotavirus Vaccine
- Polio (IPV) Vaccine
- Varicella (Chickenpox) Vaccine
- Hepatitis A (HAV) Vaccine
Despite efforts to educate parents about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, some parents refuse to have their children vaccinated. However, there is no reason to fear immunizations. They are safe and they save lives. Immunizations undergo extensive testing and clinical trials before they are available to the public.
Some parents express concern with vaccinating babies in the first few months of life because they fear vaccines will overwhelm their growing immune systems. In reality, early vaccinations actually provide children better protection from illnesses by programing their immune systems to respond to and protect from dangerous antigens.
In May 2021, the Food and Drug Administration expanded Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to include adolescents aged 12–15 years. Even though children who contract COVID-19 tend to have mild symptoms, some children do develop more severe reactions with potential for long term symptoms. All children older than 12 should get their COVID-19 vaccine. Trials show that the vaccine is a safe and effective measure in preventing illness to the child and helps stop the spread of COVID-19.
In rare cases, children may develop myocarditis, a viral infection that leads to inflammation of the heart muscle, after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. This is an extremely rare side effect, most cases of myocarditis are mild, and patients often recover on their own. We do know that myocarditis is much more common if you contract COVID-19, and the risks to the heart from a COVID-19 infection can be much more severe than any side effects from the vaccine.
The risks of getting COVID-19—and the risks of having a poor outcome from the virus—are far higher than the chances of having a severe, life-threatening reaction to the vaccine. The vaccines are meant to protect you, your family and our community.
Tips for Entering Flu Season
It’s difficult to predict if the 2021 flu season will be worse than years past. The severity will largely be determined by how we behave as we emerge out of the pandemic. If we maintain good hand hygiene and practice social distancing when sick, there will be fewer flu cases. The best way to prevent a deadly flu season is to get the flu shot when it becomes available to you. Children as young as 6 months old should get a flu shot.
Get Back on Track
Just as we teach our kids to eat their vegetables and be physically active, we must teach them the importance of getting vaccinated. Vaccinations keep our communities healthy and safe. If you’ve been putting off getting your children vaccinated, now is the best time to get back on track. There’s no time like the present to get your child in for a primary care visit to ensure they’re reaching all their health milestones, and getting the vaccines they need to keep themselves and their communities safe.

The decision was made by school officials following a rough 5-17 season in which the Vikings missed the playoffs for the fourth time in six years.
Here’s a look at the rest of the top stories of the year:
No. 19 — Big Ben strikes often

NoHo Art Park Stays. Thank You Pitfire Pizza!
What is the Art Park?
NoHo Art Park is the green space on the corner of Lankershim and Magnolia, intended to preserve the diminishing public parks in an otherwise concrete jungle.
Here’s some background from the Change.org petition started by Elizabeth Silverston
There was a time prior to the Northridge earthquake where the City of Los Angeles designated the North Hollywood area an urban renewal zone. A new large building was built on the corner across the street and Landmark Productions moved in. The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) intervened and declared eminent domain on some of the buildings in the area. Using LANI (Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative) funds, the City developed the NOHO Arts Park on the corner lot. In 1997, along came Pitfire Pizza, the establishment designed a beautiful restaurant that was to open up to the park next door and subsequently negotiated a lease and congenial terms for the build out with the City of Los Angeles and the CRA (which technically held the site). The NOHO Arts Park remained and the restaurant provided outdoor seating, a fire pit, and an outdoor activity area for locals and patrons alike. The restaurant paid for the entire build-out, paid monthly rent to the CRA, and managed the maintenance of the site.
All was harmonious, that is until the CRA was dissolved and mandated by the State of California to sell all of their holdings. A number of sites were earmarked by the State and CRA to be sold. Included in that sale was the NOHO Arts Park next door to Pitfire Pizza. What does this all mean? The open space next door to the Pitfire Restaurant, the highly used and beautiful island of green park, is scheduled to be sold at blind auction to the highest bidder. It is likely to be built-over and the lot re-purposed for the development of another structure. A large portion of the Pitfire Pizza seating occupies the built out portion of the park grounds. Their business has large glass doors that are oriented to the outdoor space. All of this can be lost. Neither the CRA, the State of California, nor the City of Los Angeles notified Pitfire Pizza nor the landowners of their restaurant of the pending matter. This is because the legislation that directed them to sell the properties specifically stated that they were not to notify either the City or the neighboring property owners as had been the custom.
How did Pitfire Pizza NoHo come to own the Art Park?
Submitting the highest bid in the recent blind auction held by the State of California.
Why is the Art Park important for Pitfire and the NoHo Community?
It is our invitation to the neighborhood to be relaxed and soak in beautiful weather, along with enjoying great food and drinks.
What’s coming up at Pitfire?
We are currently finalizing our Winter Specials for January launch … with sneak peeks in the upcoming month. In addition, we will resume plans to give our storefront a ‘face-lift’ and implement some much needed improvements.

Papua Police chief Insp. Gen. Bekto Suprapto said Tuesday that there would not be any further deployment of police personnel despite the recent shootings near the PT Freeport Indonesia mining company area in Timika.
“The police and the military are hunting for the perpetrators,” he said as quoted by Antara state news agency.
A group of unidentified gunmen opened fire on a convoy of vehicles carrying employees of mining firm PT Freeport Indonesia and security officers on Sunday, the first shooting incident after a few months of calm.
Nine people, including one foreign employee and four Mobile Brigade police officers, were injured by broken glass during the ambush, which took place at around 6:10 a.m. local time.
Also wounded in the incident were local Freeport employees and an elementary school student.
The renewed attack took place between mile markers 60 and 61 on the road to Freeport’s gold and copper mine from Tembagapura to Kuala Kencana in the town of Timika, Mimika regency.
Bekto said that all victims, including police personnel had been evacuated to Jakarta for medical treatment.
Separately, Bekto's deputy Brig. Gen. Syafei Aksal said that the perpetrators used rifles in the shooting, based on the bullet shells found at three locations during the investigation.
There are currently a total of 1,700 police and military personnel guarding the area.

Former Primary Industries Minister and Fonterra board aspirant Nathan Guy believes his relationships with bureaucrats in Wellington will help the co-op’s farmers immensely.
Guy says this is despite the Government insisting that Biosecurity is underfunded prior to the budget announcement.
“Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor has announced a paltry increase of just $9.3 million for Biosecurity which is half of what National invested in Budget17 at $18.4 million.
“This is a 50% reduction and makes a mockery of the Government’s recent rhetoric.
“If they truly believed in what they’ve been saying lately, they could have injected hundreds of millions of dollars into further strengthening the Biosecurity system - but in yesterday’s Budget they showed this isn’t really a priority.”
Guy points out that farmers and growers haven’t forgotten Labour and NZ First’s track record on Biosecurity – “they voted against National’s border clearance levy a few years ago – which has proved a great success in generating more funding for Biosecurity”.
“Ironically, it seems the Primary sector – which is New Zealand’s biggest export earner – turns out to be the Budget’s biggest loser,” Guy says.

|Title:||Optimal selection and positioning of conductors in multi-circuit overhead transmission lines using evolutionary computing|
|Author:||Acosta, Jhair S.|
Tavares, Maria C.
|Abstract:||This paper presents a new approach for designing transmission lines to transmit more power in a narrower space. Multi-circuits lines are a good alternative to attain this objective. However, the optimum solution is not obtained by just positioning several regular single-circuit transmission lines in a single tower structure. Although double-circuit and multi-circuit transmission lines have been used over the last years, there are not many studies about non-conventional multi-circuit transmission lines. Thus, in this research a mathematical model to represent the problem related to increasing the surge impedance loading level of each circuit, and reducing the costs, the ROW and the height of the towers by optimizing their bundle geometry and conductor type by applying genetic algorithms is proposed. The overall transmission lines presented as examples have an improvement between 52% and 149% in the objective function|

Landon Donovan itching to play against Manchester United in LA Galaxy friendly
- Landon Donovan is looking forward to LA Galaxy's friendly against Manchester United
- Manchester United play LA Galaxy in their pre-season tour on Thursday
- Donovan cites the opportunity to play in front of 60-70,000 people as a treat
Landon Donovan says he cannot contain his excitement ahead of LA Galaxy's fixture against Manchester United on Thursday.
The 32-year-old is chomping at the bit to perform against Louis van Gaal's side - in what will be the Dutchman's first pre-season game in charge of the club.
VIDEO Scroll down for 'Galaxy's Keane talks highly of Van Gaal ahead of United game'
Eager beaver: Landon Donovan says he is excited to play against Manchester United on Thursday
Debut: Thursday's pre-season fixture will be Louis van Gaal's (right) first as Manchester United boss
United take part in the Chevrolet Cup against their MLS counterparts in California's Rose Bowl stadium before heading to Denver, Washington DC and Detroit during their pre-season tour against Roma, Inter Milan and Real.
Donovan, who was a contentiously omitted from Jurgen Klinsmann's USA World Cup squad, is relishing the occasion to play in front of a huge crowd against stellar opposition.
'It is exciting', he said ahead of the game. 'I think for our guys we don't often get the chance to play against a team like this, we don't get to play in front of 60,000-70,000 people all the time so it will be exciting.'
'As everybody knows nowadays you don't get friendly matches anymore and obviously with a new manager and some new players for them they're going to be ready to go and we'll do the same.'

For those sticking closer to home during the global coronavirus pandemic, toss your comfy clothes aside and say hello to the latest fashion fad trending on social media – the so-called “quarantine pillow challenge.”
In recent days, the #QuarantinePillowChallenge has gained steam on Instagram, with dozens of users styling large sleeping pillows like makeshift dresses and securing them with a belt. Sleepwear’s stardom has arguably never burned so bright – while the sun is still shining. According to Instagram, the pillow challenge appears to be quite popular in Russia.
Fashionistas have shared dozens of photos of their homemade spins on the pillow challenge, some accessorizing with sleep masks, handbags, heels and even pets – making the craze look surprisingly chic
“Stuck in between not wanting to get out of bed and wanting to look cute,” one user joked.
"Laundry day" another agreed.
If you’re battling boredom while self-isolating during the ongoing outbreak and would prefer to leave your pillows in the bedroom, here’s some other thoughtful ways to avoid going stir crazy at home.

Hello, I created a submodel of a rivet join. The shape of the rivet join looks in all cases equal thats why i already meshed one. I want to transfer displacements from a coarse structural Analysis to this submodel. The Problem: The rivet join of the submodel is not on the same position like in the coarse model. It workes fine with "fields" and Import an .op2 of the coarse analysis, if the Position of the join is equal ( ) but not if the position is different. For example: There are many rivet joins in my coarse model and I want to pick just one to tranfer the displacements arround the join to my submodel. I created a coordinate System in the Center of the rivet join in the coarse model and selected the nodes and assigned it (set reference, set displacement) to the local system. But do I have to do any settings that the desplacements and rotations are refert to the local System in the Output (.op2) file? Because I Import that via fields.
Hello, I used "fields" to transfer displacments and rotations from a model with a coarse mesh to a model with a fine mesh. There are different Interpolation Options available. How can I read (show) all displacements/rotation in the createted SPCD's (maybe in a table) before solving?
Hi, Im trying to do a freebody diagram in a set of elements and nodes. In the force diagram I only need the moments (Mx , My and Mz), but this is fine, because the HM have the option to generate only moments. But in the displacements diagram I can't choose which DOF's are export to the node set. I only need the 1, 2 and 3 DOF's.... The only option that i see are create the 6 DOF's How can I solve this? Thank you!

I read this in the NZ Herald’s supplement this morning. There’s a link to the full article in case you’re interested.
Instead of looking at what we are not getting, look at what we are in control of instead – and that is what we are giving.
Hmm. Note I’m not telling you to get out and give, but even the little things are good to give. Say how much you appreciate a co-workers help. Or how much your child has done for you/household. Sometimes the little bits have the most impact.
2 thoughts on “Something to think on”
There are lots of things like this around, my favorite for a time was writing down 5 things that you’re grateful for every day. One day, mine consisted of ‘horses, horse harness, sunshine, sun block and horses again’!
Lol. Not feed?

Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction film directed, written, produced, and co-edited by James Cameron, starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are mining a valuable mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush habitable moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system.
The film’s title refers to a genetically engineered Navi body with the mind of a remotely located human that is used to interact with the natives of Pandora. The film is notable for its use of groundbreaking visual effects, which earned it numerous awards and accolades. It became the highest-grossing film of all time and is widely considered one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
Avatar tells the story of Jake Sully, a disabled former marine who is sent to Pandora to participate in the Avatar Program, a research initiative that allows humans to experience life through the eyes of the Navi. Jake’s mission is to infiltrate the Navi tribe and gain their trust, in order to pave the way for mining unobtanium. However, as he begins to learn about the Navi’s way of life, Jake starts to question his mission and eventually joins the tribe in their fight against the human invaders. The film explores themes of imperialism, environmentalism, and the consequences of greed and exploitation.
Avatar was a major box office success, grossing over $2.8 billion worldwide and becoming the first film to gross over $2 billion. It also won several awards, including three Academy Awards for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. The film’s use of motion capture technology and 3D imagery was groundbreaking and it has since become a benchmark for other films that use similar techniques. Additionally, the film’s impact on the VFX industry and its widespread use of 3D technology in cinema has been significant.
Avatar also had a significant impact on popular culture and its effects are still felt today. The film’s success sparked a renewed interest in 3D technology and many films in the following years were released in 3D. Its portrayal of a distant alien world and its inhabitants also sparked a renewed interest in science fiction. Additionally, the film’s depiction of the Navi and their way of life has been widely discussed and debated, with some praising the film for its handling of indigenous people and their culture, while others have criticized it for cultural appropriation.
The film’s success also led to the development of a sequel, with James Cameron announcing plans for multiple sequels to be released in the coming years. The first sequel, Avatar 2, is set to be released in December 2022, with a total of four sequels planned. The sequels will continue the story of Jake and the Navi, and will also delve deeper into the world of Pandora and its inhabitants.
Avatar also had a significant impact on the film industry, it was a game changer, it has raised the bar for visual effects and filmmaking, it has become a benchmark for other films in terms of the technical achievements and storytelling. It has also inspired many filmmakers to take risks and try new things in the process of filmmaking.
In addition to its impact on the film industry, Avatar has also had a lasting impact on the entertainment industry as a whole. The film’s success led to a renewed interest in immersive and interactive experiences, with many theme parks and other attractions incorporating elements of the film into their offerings. For example, Disney’s Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World in Florida features the “Pandora – The World of Avatar” area, which includes a flight simulator ride and other experiences that allow visitors to explore the world of Pandora.
The film has also had a significant impact on the gaming industry, with several video games based on the Avatar universe being released. These games range from first-person shooters to open-world exploration games, and allow players to experience the world of Pandora and interact with its inhabitants.
Finally, Avatar has also had a significant impact on the broader culture, becoming a cultural phenomenon and its impact can be seen in popular culture in various forms including music, fashion, art, and more. It has also inspired many people to think about the importance of preserving nature and the consequences of exploiting natural resources.
Overall, Avatar is a film that has had a lasting impact on the entertainment industry and popular culture, with its groundbreaking visual effects and storytelling, its impact can be seen in various forms and its legacy will continue through its sequels and other spin-offs.

Strom Thurmond Lake, also known as both Thurmond Lake and Lake Thurmond, is a large reservoir located in McCormick County and Abbeville County. It runs along the South Carolina-Georgia border and offers numerous recreational opportunities. Believe it or not, nearly 1,200 miles of shoreline surround Thurmond Lake – that is about the distance from South Carolina to Maine. Included in this mileage are the lake’s many islands and inlets, making for seemingly endless places to explore by boat.
The lake was created by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1954 as a result of the construction of Strom Thurmond Dam at the confluence of the Little and Savannah Rivers. It is one of three man-made lakes – together with Lake Hartwell and Lake Russell – that provide a stretch of wildlife habitat nearly 120 miles long.
Originally built for the purposes of flood risk management, hydroelectric power, and navigation, authorized uses of the lake now include water supply, fish and wildlife management, and recreation. At 71,100 acres, it is the second largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. The lake and surrounding property include a Visitor Center, seen below, as well scenic picnic areas. It’s also among the 10 most visited Corp lakes in the nation!
Originally named Clarks Hill Lake (after the SC town of the same name and Revolutionary War hero Elijah Clarke), the dam and reservoir were renamed in 1988 to honor former governor and long-time United States senator, Strom Thurmond.
Naturally, Georgia residents were quite upset that the shared lake had been renamed for a South Carolina governor, so the next year they petitioned to have the lake renamed “Clarks Hill” once again. The bill was not passed, but in 1989 Georgia passed a law making Clarks Hill Lake the official state name for the lake. Even today, many South Carolinians use the original name when referring to the lake.
In order to commemorate the dam’s first 50 years of operations, fifty trees were planted on the grounds by the lake in 2004, and a time capsule was was filled with current items to be opened in 2054. A stone marker featuring a plaque sits on the time capsule, pictured below.
Also seen behind the time capsule in the above photo is one of the dam’s seven original turbines. Now on dry land, the turbine stands seven feet in height, measures 15 feet in diameter, and weighs 59 tons. The turbines were replaced in the early 2000s with new stainless steel auto-venting turbines that weigh about 30 tons less than the originals.

Patrick Gottsch details what he expects the atmosphere to be like for RFD-TV’s The American
Rural Media Group founder and owner Patrick Gottsch expects their to be a rocking atmosphere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the RFD-TV’s The American in 2021.
This year, things kick off with the slack rounds at Cowtown Coliseum on Feb. 26 and run all the way through the finals of The American at AT&T Stadium on March 7.
Gottsch says the Fort Worth Stockyards, where the Cowboy Channel is headquartered, will look a lot like they did during the NFR come March. About 400,000 people came through the shops, bars and restaurants of the Stockyards during those 10 days in December.
“They had a ball.....People just felt so good to be in this kind of atmosphere,” Gottsch said. “Any chance we get, we plan to duplicate that again.”
There are about 18,000 tickets available for The American. You can buy them here. You can watch the full interview with Patrick Gottsch here.

This is a second guest post from two sisters and social media lovers, campaigning to help improve e-safety standards in schools.
“As part of eSafety (Safer Internet Week), in my last blog post, I shared 10 Ways to Protect your School from a Social-Media Crisis, a guest post from Digital Awareness UK, who are an e-safety organisation that works in schools to provide practical and up-to-date social media guidance for students, parents and teachers. In this blog, I also offered my Safer Internet Day assembly resource for schools to download.
In this blog, @DigitalSisters share their experiences of working with schools; particularly case studies which has been shared anonymously.
An increasing number of teachers have started experimenting with social media in the classroom and having worked in schools across the UK, we have no shortage of stories from teachers that have been tripped up when using it irresponsibly. It happens now and again to the best of us, so when Ross invited us to reveal some of the wounds we’ve helped to heal on his blog, it felt like a good opportunity to deliver some very important messages.
Social media is everywhere. It’s wonderful. It’s constantly evolving. We’ve yet to visit a school where 99% of children aged 11 – 18 aren’t actively sharing online. And it doesn’t stop/start there – a shocking 5 million Facebook users are under the age of 10. Young people live their lives online and are more creative and connected than ever before. This also makes them increasingly more vulnerable to forms of cyber-bullying, sexting, data breaches and more – common occurrences that sadly aren’t left at the school gates.
So, is your school too clued up to fail? These are real stories from real teachers and we’ve hidden their identities for obvious reasons.
Case Study 1:
Janet Langston, Primary School Teacher
Janet is a huge fan of Twitter and made the sensible decision to set up two separate Twitter profiles– one for work use (where she talked about trends in creative learning) and one for personal use (where she talked about trends on the latest box set she happened to be watching)! What Janet wasn’t so clued up on was how Twitter translates in the classroom and what the boundaries are. In a bid to keep students engaged and drive conversation beyond school hours, Janet asked year six children to tweet her using the hashtag #Y6LiteracyHomework with any questions or thoughts. Sounds quite innocent, right? Well, with Twitter guidelines stating users need to be 13+ to use the network, Janet and the school found themselves in quite a tricky situation when an angry parent demanded an explanation as to why his child was introduced to the channel. Not only that, but the 11-year-old boy was caught searching for indecent images on Twitter using his newly created profile.
When supervised by a teacher, social media can be a really engaging method of learning. Be mindful that all social networks will have age restriction, outlined in their T&Cs so it’s worth familiarising yourself with these as a first step.
Many schools have their own online platforms such as Firefly, which allow teachers, parents and students to interact with one another safely. To be on the safe side, it may be worth encouraging use of a website you can trust to engage with students online.
Case Study 2:
Robert Brown, Secondary School Teacher
Managing behaviour during a school assembly can be challenging at the best of times. It doesn’t help when your assembly is being secretly filmed via smart-phone and then gets posted up on YouTube. This was a school where mobile phones were banned during school hours. Good news is that the assembly delivered some very interesting information about Black History Month and didn’t feature Robert doing anything inappropriate. The bad news was the supporting copy that accompanied the video online – ‘Crap teacher can’t control kid in assembly’. The culprit is referring to a moment in the assembly where Robert told off a student for talking. The video was only discovered when a student who had seen the video told another teacher at the school. With the video receiving more than 420 views in three days, the school had a bit of a crisis on his hands. In this instance we were called into the school to deal with the situation – escalated the video to the network and had it taken down. We also ran sessions with the students focused on why it’s important to be a good digital citizen. Unfortunately the pupil couldn’t be identified as the video was posted anonymously, however no further incidents have happened at the school.
Pupils have mobile phones with recording devices. Fact. With that comes the risk of regular daily interactions between staff and pupils being recorded and shared online. We have had very positive outcomes from students that have received training around how to be a good digital citizen. We would also encourage schools to introduce social media policies to students – a non-legal, document outlining best practice behaviour online that they can sign. This helps them to understand the implications. That said, one of the downsides of social media is that your school needs to be prepared to be exposed online, whether that’s a child bad mouthing you, posting a video or image. Make sure that your school has a crisis plan.
Get a social media policy in place for both staff and students to ensure everyone understands what is acceptable behaviour.
Case Study 3:
Mark Hutchinson, Secondary School Teacher
Mark’s situation is more common than you might think. He had been teaching for around 3 years. One of the most seemingly social media savvy teachers we have come across – actively engaging across several online networks, driving conversation in the classroom with his students around their online activities, familiar with the latest social media slang and popular content. However, his enthusiasm for sharing online was on tap, and there for everyone to see. During a school camping trip Mark was photographed with several kids in his class. He decided to share the photograph on Facebook for all to see, breaching their privacy and exposing them to “friends” who ‘liked’ whilst trawling through endless status updates. A friend of Marks commented on the picture – “Is that little Ben on the left? Is he still a pain in the arse, cheeky bugger!” Mark responded with “not my pain anymore, he’s moved classes. And I had nothing to do with it …lol”. It didn’t take long for the post to be picked up by another teacher who reported her concerns to senior staff who was forced to take action.
When it comes to social media, work and personal life is best kept separate. And with that in mind you should never post anything online that you’re not comfortable with everyone seeing, even if you have locked or private profile. Images, videos and words that feature your school’s students and get shared online are considered highly sensitive data. It’s never acceptable or appropriate to post content about a pupil on social media.
If you want to whine about your students or discuss any personal issues relating to a student, don’t. If you have to, save it for the staff room because it doesn’t belong online!”
Digital Awareness UK use leading developers, YouTube stars, hackers and social media specialists to inspire students to enjoy using social media safely.

I really should create a category on this blog called “Better Late Than Never.” Sticking to a semi-regular posting schedule slipped down on my priority list of late, hence this post about a book-related fundraiser for a great organization comes about 2 weeks after it took place.
My friend Katie volunteers with Room to Read, a not-for-profit organization that focuses on literacy and gender equality in education in developing countries. Founded by former Microsoft exec John Wood after his journey through Nepal, Room to Read funds programs to build schools and establish libraries in communities in Asia and Africa.
When Katie asked if she could use my building’s party room to host a “book swap auction” benefitting Room to Read, I gladly agreed. The concept was simple: guests bring books they’ve already read, and bid on “new to them” books. Bids started at $2 per book, and if more than one person was interested in a specific book, a bidding war would commence.
As people arrived, their books were put on display throughout the room. While nibbling on snacks and sipping our wine (shhh, don’t tell my building manager — we didn’t have a liquor license!), we chatted about the books — which big “must reads” were over-rated (Eat Pray Love, I’m looking at you), which good books had been turned into bad movies (The Time Traveler’s Wife) and when to give up on a book that’s just not doing it for you (Netherland, in my case).
It was fascinating to observe people evaluate the book choices in front of them — there was a lot of judging books by their covers, and I couldn’t help but think that anyone involved in publishing or bookselling should go “undercover” at an event such as this every now and then, just to hear unvarnished opinions about what makes a book stand out.
I picked up four books at the auction:
- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson
- On Writing, by Stephen King
- The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
- The Smart Cookies’ Guide to Making More Dough, by the Smart Cookies
Hopefully I’ll have managed to read all of them by the next Room to Read Book Auction…


Los Angeles based superstar Jordan Rys releases second single ‘Hold Tight’ – The Hype Magazine
Published on June 14th, 2021 | by Bianca Nilsson
Jordan Rys is the embodiment of Pop music. Jordan mixes urban elements with smooth vocal melodies. The music portrayed at the age of 23 reflects on accounts of emotional, relatable, and raw messages that have translated to be relatable for listeners.
Jordan released his debut single ‘She Want Me Bad’ in early 2021 and since has released covers and remixes of popular songs on his Spotify. In just a few months Jordans listeners have grown by a staggering 1.2 million.
Jordan draws inspiration from many different sources such as classic rock, old school hip-hop, and country as well as from today’s pop, rap, and R&B. Jordan uses his past experiences as paint on a canvas for his new songs.
Hold Tight is a song that was formed over 2 countries connected by the pacific. David Carso and Michael Murphy from Elizabeth, Adelaide produced Hold Tight and instantly knew this song needed a vocalist as special as Jordan Rys.
The producers and Jordan were connected by an industry professional and ‘Hold Tight’ in full was born.
Creating “Hold Tight” was pretty quick for me! I wanted the verses to reflect imagery with elements of relatable scenes and the hook to be a simple anthem people can sing along to. The hook may not have the deepest lyrics, but the delivery and melody of production provides a very genuine and authentic feeling in which I think listeners will resonate with. – Jordan Rys

United States Women's Bureau
This article needs attention from an expert in Organized Labour.(June 2010)
|Formed||June 5, 1920|
|Jurisdiction||Federal government of the United States|
|Headquarters||Frances Perkins Building|
|Parent department||Department of Labor|
The United States Women's Bureau (WB) is an agency of the United States government within the United States Department of Labor. The Women's Bureau works to create parity for women in the labor force by conducting research and policy analysis, to inform and promote policy change, and to increase public awareness and education.
The Director is appointed by the President. Prior to the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act 2011, the position required confirmation by advice and consent of the Senate. Since its founding in 1920, the Director of the Women's Bureau has always been a woman. She is supported by a staff in the national office as well as ten regional offices.
The Women's Bureau evolved out of the Woman in Industry Service, which was established on July 1, 1918, as a war-time service to employ women. It was headed by social activist Mary van Kleeck, who was the head of the Department of Industrial Studies at the Russell Sage Foundation. In 1917, amidst World War I, van Kleeck undertook an investigation of the possibility of employment of women in Army warehouses at the behest of the War Industries Board. She recommended the creation of a Women's Bureau in the War Department, and as a result President Wilson appointed van Kleeck to lead a new Women in Industry Service group, a sub-agency of the Department of Labor. Van Kleeck wrote that the great numbers of women brought into the workforce by the war represented a "new freedom" for women: "freedom to serve their country through their industry not as women but as workers judged by the same standards and rewarded by the same recompense as men".
The Women in Industry Service group produced a series of reports documenting wage disparities, unsafe working conditions, and discrimination against female laborers, conducting investigations in 31 states. However, their recommendations were often ignored, and at an October 1918 conference to discuss women's labor organized by van Kleeck, Secretary of Labor William Wilson declined to take action to address wage inequality. In December 1918, the group published a wide-ranging report entitled Standards for the Employment of Women in Industry, which was later used as the basis for the groundbreaking Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which applied basic working standards to men and women throughout the country.
After the war, van Kleeck's group became the United States Women's Bureau. Van Kleeck helped write the law enabling this transition in June 1920. On July 14, van Kleeck was appointed as the head of the new agency within the Department of Labor. Although she was expected to lead the Bureau permanently, van Kleeck was called away to help care for her dying mother and resigned after a few weeks. Mary Anderson, her close friend and colleague, became its first long-term director instead.
The Bureau was established by Congress on June 5, 1920, just two months before women achieved the right to vote, and continues its responsibility to carry out Public Law 66-259; 29 U.S.C. 11–16.29 (1920) Their enabling legislation gives them the duty to formulate policies and standards to promote the welfare of wage-earning women, improve their working conditions, increase their efficiency, and advance their opportunities for profitable employment. The Women's Bureau's collaboration with the National Consumers League and the Women's Educational and Industrial Union allowed the Bureau to effectively research and advocate for women workers.
In the 1920s and 30s, the Women's Bureau focused on women's working conditions in industries including manufacturing, household employment and clothing industry. 21% of American's employed at this time were women, who worked long hours with little wages. In 1922, the WB began investigating the conditions facing 'negro women in industry.' By focusing on minority groups, Mary Anderson, the Bureau's first director, was able to get social justice legislation passed for women since the administration largely ignored these groups. The WB successfully advocated for the inclusion of women under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which, for the first time, set minimum wages and maximum working hours.
As American men were mobilized for entering World War II, many women began working in nontraditional roles such as in aircraft plants, shipyards, and manufacturing companies. These jobs also paid more than traditional "women's work". The Bureau shifted its focus in this time to achieve more skills training, wider job opportunities, higher wages and better working conditions for the 'new' female workforce. The WB was an esteemed agency by 1942 and reports were consistently conservative, often repeating stereotypical ideas of women's strengths and weaknesses. However, the records of the Bureau during World War II contain a wealth of data and information about women with the focus remaining on the conditions of employed women, often neglecting middle-class women and continual support for special legislation for women's employment.
In the 1940s and 50s, the WB turned its attention how women's employment outlook and opportunities changed in the postwar period. After 1942, the Bureau officials hoped to have an audience in the federal government and to play a large role in labor mobilization. This hope never came to fruition and in April 1942, the War Manpower Commission headed labor mobilization. The commission, led by Paul McNutt, rejected the idea of having any woman on his labor advisory commission instead creating a Women's Advisory Committee. However, both the Bureau and the Advisory Committee's advice regarding women's employment was often disregarded.
in the 1950s and 60s, the WB developed policies and programs to increase women college graduates. The WB played an instrumental role in the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which amended the Fair Labor Standards Act. It effectively removed the ability to pay employees differently, based on sex. John F. Kennedy signed the law on June 10, 1963. However, during this time, the Bureau was opposed to the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) introduced by the National Woman's Party in 1923 until Kennedy took office in 1961. This was due to the commitment the WB had in maintaining protective labor legislation for women. During Kennedy's campaign, he needed to recognize a political constituency. However instead of supporting an ERA during his presidency, he created a Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. The commission was headed by Eleanor Roosevelt, an ERA supporter, until her death 1962, after which the commission was unofficially headed by Women's Bureau director and ERA opponent, Esther Peterson, who had advocated for the formation of the Commission early on. With Peterson as the de facto head, the final report by the commission made no flat statement for or against passage of the ERA. It did, however, urge the courts to expand the 14th amendment to grant full Constitutional equality to women.
Elizabeth Duncan Koontz was the first Black woman to head the Bureau in 1969. The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women named Koontz a U.S. Delegate and with this added role, she worked with the Bureau to share research and expertise in developing countries. Under Koontz's leadership, the WB also worked to address and eliminate description against women and minorities in the workforce. They supported the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Carmen Rosa Maymi headed the Women's Bureau in 1975 as the highest-ranking Hispanic woman in the Federal Government and the first Hispanic Director of the Bureau.
Following the 1973 Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) designed to train workers and provide them with public service jobs, the Bureau began developing programs for CETA funds that focused on special counseling and referral services, women in non-traditional jobs, pre-apprenticeship training and job development. Many of these new programs were also designed to help low-income women. The Bureau also had a role in the passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978.
In the 1960s, the Bureau started an on-site day care center. This led to the Bureau launching a major initiative to encourage employer-sponsored child care in 1982. The result of this initiative was the establishment of a multi-media Work and Family Clearinghouse in 1989 and the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, that mandated employers to provide employees job-protected and unpaid leave for qualified medical and family reasons.
The Bureau focused on non-traditional employment for women in the 1990s, including apprenticeships and domestic workers. In 1996, the WB published a fact sheet on the workplace effects of domestic violence.
In 2014, the WB teamed up with the White House and the Center for American Progress for the White House Summit on Working Families convening businesses, economists, labor leaders, legislators, advocates, and the media for a discussion on issues facing the entire spectrum of working families, including workplace flexibility, equal pay, workplace discrimination, worker retention and promotion, and childcare/early childhood education.

Philadelphia Inquirer, Aug. 27: The passing of Sen. Edward Moore “Teddy” Kennedy has silenced the greatest liberal voice of the past 50 years and drawn the curtain on an epic generation of a political dynasty.
In 47 years in the Senate, Kennedy passed more than 300 laws. Among them are the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which made public places more accessible to the disabled, and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program of 1997, which funded the largest expansion of health insurance coverage for children since the 1960s. The COBRA Act of 1985, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan, gave workers the ability to continue health insurance after leaving employment. And Title IX opened up college sports to young women.
For millions of Americans, Ted Kennedy made this country a fairer and better place to live.
Detroit Free Press, Aug. 27: Kennedy believed that the very essence of government responsibility was to solve social ills through bold strokes, and he never apologized for the size or cost of his ideas.
Dallas Morning News, Aug. 27: Sen. Kennedy’s flaws were great, but his public- spiritedness was greater. On this day, whatever your politics, take a moment to think about what that generation of the Kennedy family has meant to our country. Their role in the political and cultural history of our time is monumental.
Sacramento Bee, Aug. 27: Although he was often seen by friend and foe alike as a die-hard liberal, Kennedy actually worked across party lines to collaborate with Republicans on most of the major legislation he shepherded through the Senate.
Kennedy never lost sight of the fact that idealism and commitment are no substitute for getting things done.
Charlotte Observer, Aug. 27: While widely regarded in the first decades of his life as the least capable of the Kennedy brothers, in the end his legacy was that he had a greater political and policy impact than any of the others.


NASA made headlines last week after finding a type of bacteria that can live on arsenic, but discovering the poisonous chemical element in your groundwater can be dangerous. Iowa has several pockets of arsenic in the soil and officials in the Mason City area plan to start testing water wells for it next year.
Brian Hanft, the health service manager with the Cerro Gordo County Health Department, says they’ve already found areas where arsenic is an issue. He says they’ve pinpointed some “hot spots” for arsenic in the areas south of Clear Lake and in Bowers Acres south of Mason City, but they want to see if there are other zones throughout the county that could have high levels.
The water testing project is part of a $433,000 grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Arsenic is believed to be a contributor to numerous health issues including cancer, diabetes and skin damage. Hanft says he hopes they can take what they find from the study and allow other governmental entities across Iowa and nationwide to tackle their own arsenic problems.
“There’s a lot of areas in the country that are going to be watching what we do,” he says. “My goal is, we can publish our research so that other municipalities, other states, can use that information to fix or research their own problem based on what we’ve done.” Hanft says Cerro Gordo County has the highest-recorded arsenic concentration in a public water supply in Iowa, but he fears the problem is much wider than we’ve realized.
“We’re not just looking at the arsenic zone,” he says. “We’ve already figured out that we have a problem with it. I have a feeling that it’s countywide and not only is it countywide, it’s pretty much all Iowa-wide.” Unlike public drinking water supplies that are currently required to meet a certain standard, private wells are unregulated and the owner is responsible for regulating arsenic content. Cerro Gordo County requires arsenic testing for all new wells within the county.

Sturmer's new product is the Defence sleeping bag. This is a winter sleeping bag made of durable and wear-resistant materials that perfectly retain heat. It has the standard size and weight for a winter sleeping bag, which means it is ideal for use in cold conditions.The lightness and compactness, moisture resistance and thermal insulation of the sleeping bag is achieved through the use of G-LOFT ® insulation. According to the warming and heat-insulating properties, it is similar to natural down, has a special fiber structure and is not afraid of long-term compression, which allows you to store the sleeping bag in a compactly folded state for a long period of time.
The Mummy anatomical form factor makes the most effective use of the important proportions of size, weight, and heat. The tapered leg section reduces the overall weight and size of the bag, and the main advantage of this shape is that the smaller internal volume in the legs is better and faster to warm up. The trapezoidal section of the foot area was perfect - the shape of the wedge is evenly reduced in width from top to bottom, perfectly distributing heat. The integrated hood can be pulled down to a small opening for the face, preventing heat loss. Sandwich construction: G-LOFT ® insulation layers with a density of 145 g / m2 have offset stitching and are quilted to the Thermoflect insulating mesh, which in turn increases the heat transfer of the sleeping bag by about 11%.At the same time, the outer shell is loosely attached to the common bag. As a result, additional air layers are formed between each of the two thick quilted insulation layers and the outer shell and there are no "cold seams". G-LOFT ® insulation is similar in structure and characteristics to goose down, but without the disadvantages inherent in natural down-it is made of two-component polymer fibers and does not fall into lumps, does not absorb water, and does not crumple during compression, always returning its shape without any consequences. The reliable YKK ® double-lock zipper allows you to quickly get out or open the upper or lower part of the bag for ventilation if necessary. The heat-insulating outer zipper strap is fastened with velcro and sewn in a special way so that the zipper does not "bite"it. The compression bag is equipped with seven compression straps and allows you to greatly reduce the total volume of the sleeping bag, pulling it more tightly and compactly, which is good for the capacity of your backpack. Temperature range (according to ISO 23537-1/EN 13537). Expanded: 230 x 87 x 65 cm. In a compression bag: 25 x 38 cm.
