Section 302 of the LMRA: Make Way for the Employer-Paid Union Representative
Christopher J. Garofalo
In 1947, Congress enacted section 302 of the Labor Management Relations Act in order to regulate payments from employers to the union representatives of their employees. Whether originally intended by Congress or not, section 302 has been applied to the common labor practices of allowing employers to pay employees for part-time or full-time leave in order to work for their union. A split among the various circuit courts of appeals has developed as to whether these payments fall within an exception to section 302's general prohibition and remains unresolved after the Supreme Court dismissed certiorari after the settlement of Caterpillar, Inc. v. International Union, UAW. In this Note, Christopher Garofalo argues that courts have struggled with the text of section 302 in order to allow payments for what, he argues, are beneficial and useful labor practices. However, Garofalo maintains that their interpretations of section 302 have created standards which are ultimately unworkable because they cannot distinguish beneficial from harmful practices in a principled way. Since the current statute's textual limitations make it difficult to protect against conflicts of interest and corruption while allowing union representatives to be paid by employers, Garofalo concludes that a legislative solution is preferable to a judicial one and proposes an amendment to section 302 that constructively would resolve the issue.

Robert Mapplethorpe was among the most consequential and controversial artists of the 20th Century This Director's Cut offers previously unseen footage, exploring his childhood love of photography and embattled relationship with his father and the Catholic church, as well as an originally composed score and all new soundtrack. The film tracks Robert's important love affair with Patti Smith and pivotal romance with powerhouse art collector, Sam Wagstaff. Through never-before-seen footage we see Mapplethorpe's development of a precise, erotically charged photographic style -- as well as his struggle to attain mainstream recognition up to picturing his untimely death from AIDS. MAPPLETHORPE DIRECTOR'S CUT, offers a nuanced portrait of an artist at the height of his craft, along with the self-destructive impulses that threatened to undermine it all.
Nominated for Best Narrative Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Hyakko 1
Hyakko is a new comedic anime centered around four high school girls, or at least that's what I've gathered so far from the first episode. Episode 1, "Audience with Torako", starts with Nonomura Ayumi, an introverted girl who returns to the classroom the rest of her classmates just left in order to pick up something. Unfortunately, she soon gets lost on the very large campus.
Nonomura Ayumi
So it's no surprise that she's relieved when she meets another student, Iizuka Tatsuki. It's even better when Ayumi hears that Tatsuki has been attending Kamizono, a school campus that encompasses all school grades, since primary school. Tatsuki soon lets Ayumi down as it becomes apparent that she's lost, too, as they keep coming back to the same spot. It's no small source of frustration for the proud Tatsuki.
Iizuka Tatsuki
Ayumi and Tatsuki are surprised as Kageyama Torako jumps down from the second floor in front of them. And Torako manages a perfect and soft landing. Despite what her apparent athletic skills imply from her jump, though, she's not completely coordinated all the time. As soon as she notices Ayumi and Tatsuki and tries to turn towards them, she sprains her ankle.
Kageyama Torako
Torako is soon followed by Saotome Suzume, Suzu to her friends, who jumps off from the second floor, too. And Torako, who had been wailing in pain about her broken ankle, realizes that her ankle doesn't hurt after all. It turns out that Torako and Suzume had gotten lost themselves within the building, so they decided to follow a single direction. And they decided to jump out of the second floor window in the way instead of getting lost again inside the building.
Saotome Suzume
After traveling all over the campus, with Suzu having a snack and barging in a class for small kids, they take a rest in front of the odd statue in the middle of the campus. Ayumi remembers something about the campus supporting GPS navigation through her cellphone, and is happy when Torako, Tatsuki, and Suzu are impressed with her. She just made three new friends, something that she wasn't able to do in middle school. Unfortunately, the navigation service is a paid service, so the four of them have to resume Torako's program of going straight ahead.
There's a locked door in their way, though, so Torako asks Suzu to turn the doorknob with her superstrength. It breaks off instead of turning, however, so Torako tries to smash a nearby window with a brick. The straight-laced Tatsuki tries to stop her, and Torako loses her grip on the brick in the resulting scuffle, which promptly flies through the window.
As the four of them are wondering what to do, they hear a teacher calling to them from behind. Torako and Suzu run away immediately, but Ayumi and Tatsuki are frozen in place. Torako tries to save them from disciplinary action by ambushing the teacher and punching his lights out, which is a complete shock to Ayumi and Tatsuki. Torako's effort is for naught, however, as the teacher she knocked out is in charge of her class, which also happens to contain the other three girls. After class, the four girls have to endure the teacher's admonishments for quite a while. At least he has the self-control to not avenge himself on Torako, although he has quite a long list of complaints and frustrations to vent.
Hyakko is the kind of anime you have to watch to enjoy; all of the amusing elements are in the small details and actions. It's not the sort of anime that you watch for a deep and meaningful plot. And I expect a lot of the amusement will come from the character interactions. If I were to stereotype the characters, then Torako is the care-free and impulsive rebel, Suzu is the quiet, competent, and yet quirky eccentric, Tatsuki is the straight-laced and yet tsundere counterpoint to Torako, and Ayumi is the introverted mediator with a sometimes overactive imagination. It doesn't look like the supporting characters will be any less interesting, either.
From what I've seen so far in the first episode, Hyakko looks like it will be fun to watch. And the voice talent for the anime is an additional attraction: they're familiar voices that have played great characters in great anime. I think I'll be keeping tabs on this anime.

Things we wouldn't have thought...
We're only 17 games in, but…
-- That John Erskine would have more game-winning goals – shoot, goals period – than Alexander Semin
-- That only seven Caps would have more than one goal…by way of comparison, the New York Rangers – the most anemic offense in the league – have eight.
-- That Brian Pothier would lead the club in plus-minus (+6) and Shaone Morrisonn would be last (-8)…and Morrisonn's -8 is entirely earned on the road; he's even at home
-- That Joe Motzko would dress for more games (3) than would Steve Eminger (1)
-- That Tom Poti, who had 32 power play points last year, would have two so far this year (of course, injury has something to do with that)
-- That Caps defensemen would have seven goals…they had only 17 as a group all of last year.
-- That Brian Sutherby would lead the club in shooting percentage…ok, he's only taken three shots. Among players with at least ten games played, your leader is…Tomas Fleischmann?
-- And speaking of shots…you might expect Alex Ovechkin and Viktor Kozlov to be among the team leaders…but Matt Pettinger (third on the club)?
-- That the Caps would be on a pace for more losses (48) than they had in the sell-off year of 2003-2004 (46)

Indian Railways to redevelop 22 stations to world-standards! Bandra Terminus, Kolkata, Kanpur on the list
Devanjana Nag
Financial Express 25 June 2019
Indian Railways goes big on railway stations redevelopment! The Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) and MECON Limited have recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) on railway station redevelopment. Under this project, a total of eight railway stations across the country will be redeveloped including Bandra Terminus, Andheri, Chennai Egmore and Ranchi. A couple of days ago, a similar MoA was signed with two other Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) i.e., Engineering Projects India Limited (EPIL) and Bridge and Roof for the redevelopment as many as 14 railway stations including Kolkata Terminal, Hyderabad, Kalyan Junction, Ludhiana, Kanpur Central, and Udaipur City.
According to a press release issued by the IRSDC, these CPSEs will come up with Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of these 22 railway stations for their development/redevelopment and also they will act as Project Management Consultant to IRSDC for implementation of the above-mentioned station redevelopment program. The move is being considered to be a great milestone in the government's prestigious program of station redevelopment, it stated.
Under this program, six CPSEs have been selected by IRSDC for the redevelopment of as many as 41 railway stations across India. The remaining CPSEs who shall also be signing a similar agreement with IRSDC shortly are RITES, IRCON and NPCC. The move is expected to further accelerate the station redevelopment initiatives that are being undertaken by the IRSDC.
The IRSDC, which is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the Ministry of Railways is also transforming several other railway stations into swanky airport-like hubs. In the coming years, the stations – Anand Vihar, Bijwasan, Chandigarh, Shivaji Nagar, Surat, Biayyappanahalli, Nagpur, Gwalior, Amritsar, Gandhinagar (Jaipur), Sabarmati, Kanpur, Thakurli, Habibganj and Gandhi Nagar (Gujarat) will undergo a massive renovation. The stations will be provided with multiple modern facilities and amenities for the convenience of passengers. The redevelopment work in Habibganj and Gandhi Nagar stations as India's first airport-like world-class hubs is already in progress.

"Working with Riser House has been so amazing," Bryant explains, "I am so honored to have such a fantastic team supporting me and believing in me every step of the way, and I couldn't be happier to share my new music with the world."

IELTS Report, topic: Double line graph showing high tech gadgets prices (from Target Band 7 book)
This report was written on a topic from "Target Band 7" book (page 41, reprinted with permission).
The graph below shows how prices of "high-tech gadgets" changed over time in Somecountry.
Write a report for a university tutor describing the information shown.
The line graph outlines the selling price of two advanced products, namely navigation systems and smart phones, in Somecountry between the last six months of 2004 and the last six months of 2006. It can be clearly seen that there was a considerable decrease in the pricing of navigation systems compared to mobile phones.
In July-December of 2004, the overall price of navigation was higher than . The former started at nearly $4,000 USD while the latter sold at around $3,100 USD. In the next six months, both items were priced at a lower value slipping to $3,300 and $2,800 USD (navigation systems and phones respectively). The pricing for navigation systems continued to drop to $3,100 USD in the following 6 months. Conversely, mobile phone prices went up marginally by around $100 USD. In the first half of 2006, the pricing trend changed for both products as navigation devices saw a rise to $3,400 USD while phones dipped to $2,700 USD. By the end of the year 2006, both items were sold at exactly the same price of $2,700 USD.
To sum up, it is evident that over the course of 2 years high tech gadgets declined in price and the more expensive product suffered a more significant price drop.
The entire graph was described in this well-organised and developed response. There are some minor grammatical mistakes, but they are quite rare. The vocabulary could have been enhanced further. Overall, this report seems worthy of Band 8.
to avoid sounding repetitive, use a different word here such as 'evident'
that of smart phones
'were' because this refers to 'smart phones' (in plural)
IELTS Report, topic: Map of a town before and after redevelopment
The maps below show the centre of a small town called Islip as it is now, and plans for its development.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The maps illustrate the current and predicted future Islip town centre.
Overall, it is clear from the maps that some pedestrianisation is planned for shopping and housing area, while a new road for vehicles is planned .
Focusing on the current map, the town center is developed around a main road, which stretches from the west to the east. There are many shops to the north and to the south of the road. Whilst it of the countryside in the north, a big area is occupied by housing in the south. This area is limited by a park in the east and a school in the south-west. Both of these structures are connected to the main road by side roads.
Moving on to the predictions, a circular road that goes around the city center attracts attention. This road expected to be built is a dual carriageway. The middle part of the main road is projected to be pedestrianised. Although the southern part of Islip is not to see big changes other than some new housing and a in the size of the park, there are many changes planned for the northern part. Shops in this part will be demolished and a shopping centre and a housing area will be introduced. A bus station and a parking area are also planned to be built to the west and the east of the shopping centre, respectively.
This is a great report. All aspects were covered and a fully developed response was provided. Some mistakes are still present and require more attention. The vocabulary could have been enhanced further and this report would benefit from more frequent use of complex structures. Overall, seems worthy of Band 8.
a more accurate expression would be 'to circumvent the town centre'
mainly consists
the writer means 'destined'
IELTS test in Vietnam – January 2023 (Academic Module)


From bluecoat to graduation gown
[supplied by UniSQ]
Police officer and mum-of-four Anna Neumann graduated at Toowoomba's Empire Theatre alongside 38 other First Nations students from the University of Southern Queensland.
Catching criminals and chasing good grades is all in a day's work for the University of Southern Queensland's newest graduate, Anna Neumann.
A police officer for nearly 30 years, the mum-of-four completed an Anthropology degree and graduated with top marks.
With the colours of the Aboriginal flag draped around her neck, Senior Sergeant Neumann – a proud Ngiyampaa woman from western New South Wales – celebrated the end of her undergraduate degree alongside hundreds of her peers, including 38 First Nations students.
"It means a lot to me to be wearing this," Snr Sgt Neumann said.
"When I think back two generations to my grandfather, and how much changed in two generations – this is for him."
With record crowds watching on, there were tears, smiles and laughter for the cohort who persevered throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to complete their studies.
"There hasn't been a single moment of this degree that I haven't loved," she said.
"But it hasn't been easy."
The 49-year-old juggled police work, family commitments and a full-time study load to get here.
"If you're studying something you love, it's a lot easier," Snr Sgt Neumann said.
"Education is key to having a better existence, and I'd encourage everyone, particularly Indigenous people who are so underrepresented in tertiary study, to learn something that they love."
Sharing hugs and tears, Anna's daughter Ella, who recently graduated from the University of Southern Queensland with a Bachelor of Nursing, cheered from the sidelines.
"It was really special to go through our undergraduate degrees together," Snr Sgt Neumann said.
"And it was definitely motivational for both of us to keep going.
"I feel so blessed to have come to a university that teaches Anthropology with the Aboriginal community, and for the community."
The graduate's study journey doesn't end here, with the police officer currently undertaking a year-long Honours course.
Think big and put your ambition into action at the University of Southern Queensland.

Mergers may enhance the legitimacy of community health organisations in neoliberal environments

Department of General Practice
Purpose: Comprehensive primary health care (PHC) models are seldom implemented in high income countries, in part due to their contested legitimacy in neoliberal policy environments. This article explores how merging affected the perceived legitimacy of independent community health organisations in Victoria, Australia, in providing comprehensive PHC services. Design/methodology/approach: A longitudinal follow-up study (2–3 years post-merger) of two amalgamations among independent community health organisations from the state of Victoria, Australia, was conducted. This article explores the perceived effects of merging on (1) the pragmatic, normative and cognitive legitimacy of studied organisations and (2) the collective legitimacy of these organisations in Victoria's health care system. Data were collected through 19 semi-structured interviews with key informants and subjected to template and thematic analyses. Findings: Merging enabled individual organisations to gain greater overall legitimacy as regional providers of comprehensive PHC services and thus retain some capacity to operationalise a social model of health. Normative legitimacy was most enhanced by merging, through acquisition of a large organisational size and adoption of business practices favoured by neoliberal norms. However, mergers may have destabilised the already contested cognitive legitimacy of community health services as a group of organisations and as a comprehensible state-wide platform of service delivery. Practical implications: Over-reliance on individual organisational behaviour to maintain the legitimacy of comprehensive PHC as a model of organising health and social care could lead to inequities in access to such models across communities. Originality/value: This study shows that organisations can manage their perceived legitimacy in order to ensure the survival of their preferred model of service delivery.

Sennheiser and Magic Leap Reveal AMBEO AR One Spatial Audio Headphones
By Rebecca Hills-Duty	 Last updated Oct 10, 2018
In September, audio equipment company Sennheiser announced it was working with mixed reality (MR) company Magic Leap to bring spatial audio to the Magic Leap headset. Now the two companies have revealed the first product to come from this partnership – the AMBEO AR One in-ear headphones.
Sennheiser's AMBEO technology I said to work like an audio version of augmented reality (AR) in that it allows real-world sounds to be blended in to the sound from the headphones, a development that Sennheiser refers to as 'Transparent Hearing'.
The blending of virtual 3D sound with real-world acoustics is made possible as a configurable extension of Sennheiser's existing active noise cancellation technology, which is usually used in headphones to eliminate outside noise.
The new in-ear headphones are described as: "The first spatial listening accessory to receive official certification by Magic Leap." indicating that the headphones have been specifically designed to complement the mixed reality experiences available on the Magic Leap One headset.
The headphones are also said to feature deep bass, and offering a complete seal provided by Sennheiser's 'Comply' ear tips. The headphones interface with the Magic Leap One via standard 3.5mm audio jack.
Developers are said to be able to specify how much outside sound will be mixed into the user's experience. External sound is captured by the headset built-in microphones, and then blends in to the spatial audio experience.
Sennheiser is also launching a companion app, called AMBEO Augment Audio Lab, which is designed to provide users will control over the audio experience, described the by the company as providing: "Full control over their sound world, [empowering] developers and creators to craft powerful spatial computing experiences in which real sounds seamlessly blend with virtual audio."
The AMBEO AR One is planned to be available for sale sometime during November, 2018 through the Magic Leap website in the USA, priced at $250 (USD). For future coverage on Magic Leap and Sennheiser AR audio, keep checking back with VRFocus.

infographic gate-fold booklet
Scotland Food & Drink approached us to produce a booklet to be used at their annual conference demonstrating how the industry has grown. We used their brand colours and set the infographics out so that it was clean, clear and easy to read. We also organised print and delivery.
We've produced two short promotional videos for Scotland Food and Drink; The first was promoting Scottish cheese being exported to France by Clarks Speciality Foods of Penicuik and features an appearance by Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing.
The second involved video editing for the Showcasing Scotland Regional Events, which gave viewers a flavour of the day. We also produced and added a clip of Chief Executive, James Withers.
interiors - infographic wall art
Following on from the infographic booklet, we were then asked to create a series of wall graphics to be displayed at their office in Ratho Park, Edinburgh. The graphics adhered to the same principles as the booklet – we kept the design clean and made sure the message stood out and the structure was easy to follow. Overall it contributed to a fresh and inspirational office environment.
Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight 2018 took place between 1-16 September and provided the perfect opportunity for everyone to get involved in celebrating and enjoying fantastic Scottish produce.
This year's Food & Drink Fortnight returned with a unique focus on celebrating talented and innovative young people. We were delighted to get involved with the design and build of their website portal. The single page, responsive site has details of how to get involved as well as sharing Eat Scottish's recent social media feeds.

Web Pages Devoted to Homelessness Task Force
CSAC has embarked on an important effort to find real solutions to homelessness in California, establishing a joint Homelessness Task Force with the League of California Cities. The first meeting occurred Friday, September 23, with more than 20 city and county officials discussing how to approach this complex and vexing issue. CSAC has also created special pages on our website devoted to the task force work product and other resources.
Governor's Bill Deadline Looms Large
Governor Brown started the month of September with 789 bills on his desk for consideration. He is limited to three options: Sign the bill into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without his signature. He has until midnight, Friday, September 30 to decide.
He has already acted on many of those 789 bills and CSAC has been tracking the Governor's activity on those directly affecting counties. Look for some of the bills the Governor has acted on recently at the links below, and we will provide a comprehensive roundup of the Governor's action on bills impacting counties in the next Bulletin on Thursday, November 6.

PPIC Reports Examine Justice Realignment, Prop 47
The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) released two reports which examine the effects of 2011 Realignment and Proposition 47 of 2014, on California's correctional system. The studies indicate that these two changes have reduced California's prison population without causing a significant increase in crime. While crime rates have increased marginally since 2011 the increase is similar to what has occurred in other locations around the country that have not made significant changes.
Definition of "Mandate" Could Expand
A groundbreaking expansion of what constitutes a reimbursable mandate took stage as the CSAC Mandate Services Committee met last week. This group meets regularly to determine potential reimbursement opportunities and to navigate the Commission of State Mandates (CSM) process and includes county, city, and special district representatives.
Foster Youth Medication Subject of Lengthy Hearing
The Senate Human Services Committee and the Senate Budget Subcommittee #3 on Health and Human Services conducted a lengthy joint hearing on the misuse of psychotropic medications for foster youth on Monday. The Committees heard from a wide range of speakers to address the complicated issue, including State Auditor Elaine Howle, who provided the committee with an overview of the findings of the recently released audit report, which concluded that both the state and counties failed to provide adequate oversight of the prescribing of psychotropic medications to foster youth.
DHCS Proposes Updates to Health Homes Program
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is proposing to amend the Medi-Cal 2020 waiver Special Terms and Conditions to try to implement the Health Homes Program in the Medi-Cal managed care delivery system.
$25M in Transitional Housing Grants Available

Brooklyn judge forced off bench for 'racist' and 'homophobic' remarks
A New York stepped down this week after facing the consequences for her behavior in her own courtroom.
Given their position and responsibility, judges, at all levels, seem to enjoy a type of quiet immunity that shields them from their own antics.
But according to the Daily Caller, that wasn't the case with a Brooklyn, New York-based judge who is finally facing the music for her alarming actions and behavior.
The judge had been under fire by the Inspector's General office after it found that a number of reports filed against her were valid.
Brooklyn Surrogate's Court Judge Harriet Thompson resigned this week, claiming a shoulder injury sidelined her from putting up a defense.
Controversial judge Harriet Thompson steps down
A Brooklyn judge prior suspended in December over racist and anti-gay remarks steps down amid misconduct charges.
👀 She did continue to collect her $210,900 salary.https://t.co/L8U0iKYlGj
— New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) January 9, 2023
The judge had been accused of making homophobic and racist remarks in the courtroom.
She was set to face a Commission on Judicial Conduct (CJC) hearing on Jan. 17. Clearly the judge had enough sense left to know when her time was up, opting to resign and not face the inevitable embarrassment of a formal reprimand likely firing.
The DC noted: "Thompson had been suspended with pay since December 2021 after an investigation by the Inspector General for state courts concluded that the claims against her were supported."
NY judge accused of making racist, anti-gay remarks agrees to step down https://t.co/JhvAq3d6XY pic.twitter.com/wiKoVIKWX0
— New York Post (@nypost) January 9, 2023
What did she say?
The judge reportedly said a number of outrageously racist and homophobic things that led to where she is now. The judge apparently hates gay white men, in particular.
She had reportedly targeted four of her colleagues, saying previously that her colleagues were "gay racist f—-ts" who were "all f—king each other" and "trying to ruin me and get me."
In 2018, she said, "I hate these gay white men … being gay is an abomination to mankind."
Among many other reports, the racist judge was also accused of saying, "I do not like Hispanic people. They have a deceitful trait that goes way back to biblical times."

Niagara Region Notebook: CAO search paused
By Bill SawchukStandard Reporter
The St. Catharines Standard
Mon., March 30, 2020timer2 min. read
updateArticle was updated Jun. 02, 2020
Niagara Region is putting its search for a new chief administrative officer on hold for the time being.
Regional council passed a motion last Thursday to pause the search as the municipality deals with the COVID-19 public health crisis. Council was supposed to selected members for the hiring committee at Thursday's full meeting of council.
Ron Tripp, commissioner of public works, took over the job on Dec. 13, 2018, in an acting role when Carmen D'Angelo, the previous chief administrative officer, was on leave. D'Angelo's employment ended in early February 2019. He and the Region have filed lawsuits against each as a result.
Niagara Week on hold
The annual Niagara Week expedition to Queen's Park in Toronto will be reorganized, council learned last week.
Pre-visit planning and consultation is the key component in the co-ordinated blitz, which is scheduled May 24 to 27. Objectives are agreed upon ahead of time, so the Region and local area municipalities speak with "one voice."
This year there were six themes - housing and homelessness, transit services, transportation networks, infrastructure, protecting the environment, economic development.
Those objectives, while important, will likely be overtaken by the COVID-19 crisis, Region communications specialist Daryl Barnhart wrote in a memo to council.
Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on residents, businesses and communities has emerged as the No. 1 priority.
"Although the issues originally identified are exceedingly important for the region, the current global pandemic will require the Region to consider redirecting its advocacy efforts toward securing supports for our eventual recovery, both social and economic," Barnhart wrote.
Convention cancelled
The annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has cancelled its 2020 annual conference and trade show, which was to take place June 4 to 7 in Toronto.
The event, which brings together more than 2,000 leaders from across the county, was cancelled because of the pandemic.
"As much as I was looking forward to seeing you all in Toronto, we are doing exactly what our residents - and our country - need us to be doing right now. Because we're in this together," said Bill Karsten, FCM president.
Time's up for photo radar
Regional council is out of time when it comes to moving ahead with photo radar, also known as automated speed enforcement, in Niagara.
Region staff learned last week that the municipality needed to immediately sign a partnership agreement with the City of Toronto for processing infractions at its joint processing centre.
Toronto would be moving forward immediately with the partnering agreement with only those municipalities that have signed a contract and are ready to start implementation. Niagara needs access to the centre to handle the images for ticketing.

At George Eliot Primary School we follow the statutory requirements set out by the National Curriculum 2014.
All year groups are taught the programmes of study, as set out in the National Curriculum.
The Primary National Curriculum is split into two key stages;
Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6)
Subjects within the curriculum are split into core and foundation subjects.
Core subjects are: English, Maths and Science.
Foundation subjects are: History, Geography, Art & Design, Design Technology, Foreign Languages, Computing, Music and Physical Education.
Religious Education is also taught, though programmes of study are decided locally through the Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE).
Throughout their time at primary school, pupils are taught all aspects of the National Curriculum as a minimum expectation. The school will also enhance the curriculum further to develop and broaden the opportunities available to pupils in our school.
At George Eliot Primary School we enhance and develop our curriculum through the use of visitors, events and trips in order to provide our pupils with real life and hands-on experiences.
Click Below to View Our Curriculum Map
This curriculum map may be adapted or changed throughout the year depending on childrens' interests.
Curriculum Map - Year 1
Access to the curriculum is provided for all pupils at George Eliot Primary School. This is done in a variety of ways; through adult support, differentiation of activities, use of equipment and resources. Teachers plan lessons carefully, ensuring new learning is taking place consistently.
Differentiation is key to delivering an effective and inclusive curriculum. All pupils' starting points are considered and activities and work is matched to ensure pupils reach their full potential, whilst supporting children's learning; offering opportunities to succeed, as well as providing challenge.
For further information related to pupils who are identified as being gifted or talented, or pupils who have special educational needs, please click on the links to our school policies or SEND page.
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) & British Values
Throughout the curriculum at George Eliot Primary teachers promote SMSC aspects of life and promote British Values, such as: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
Assemblies play a huge role in developing SMSC learning. Both key stages meet daily for an assembly.
Topics/themes for assemblies include:
Celebrating learning and achievements both in and out of school.
Celebrating attendance and punctuality.
Learning about different cultures, festivals and celebrations.
Learning about British Values
Weekly singing assemblies.
Visitors and outreach activities.
The Recovery Curriculum
A 'recovery curriculum' is a construct, a concept, rather than a ready-made package. It is about recognising that we must think and plan carefully for 'how' children will return to school following a period of lockdown.
To secure rapid academic catch-up whilst simultaneously building good SEMH through, we will:
· Use diagnostic assessment to ascertain strengths and weaknesses from both prior and new learning. What has been retained, what has been consolidated, what has been deepened or extended? Where are the gaps? Use this information to adapt our subject-based curriculum design/provision for (a) all children through quality first teaching, (b) groups of children who share similar needs, (c) specialist and targeted individual support.
· Make these adaptations in the context of being "trauma-informed." Acknowledge and explore the impact of lockdown and COVID-19 on the wellbeing of pupils.
· Re-build and strengthen our school community culture, values and relationships through our curriculum and our wider provision.
Teachers at George Eliot will use the teaching sequences in ways that best suit the needs of their class. They are designed to be applied flexibly, with teachers using all that they know about their children's prior learning, context and experience during lockdown to make informed choices about
(a) what resources to use, and, (b) how to use them.

United States | Tobacco smuggling
Now exhale
Aug 24th 2000 |
YOUR product, despite loyal customers, is not selling, and your protests against heavy taxes go ignored. Sales are suffering. If only some of the tax burden could be shaken off. What to do? Why, team up with your foreign partners to smuggle, of course. And, according to the Canadian government, this is exactly what several North American tobacco companies did a decade ago.
A lawsuit currently winding its way through the courts in the United States is a tale of conspiracy and intrigue as compelling as any John Grisham novel. Canada's case rests on four facts, disputed by nobody, and a crucial piece of conjecture. The facts are these. First, from 1981 until 1994, the Canadian government increased cigarette taxes, more than doubling the retail price of a pack in real terms. Second, Canada's cigarette exports, largely to the United States, boomed 36-fold at the same time. True, both the Canadian-American free-trade agreement and later the North American free-trade deal came into effect during this period; true again, no two countries anywhere trade back and forth more than America and Canada.
Yet consider facts three and four. Neither Canadians nor Americans, eager traders though they are in general, are particularly keen about each other's tobacco blends; rare is the year when Canadian exports capture more than 1% of the big neighbour's market. And, lastly, cigarette exports fell back again after the Canadian government drastically cut tobacco taxes in 1994. Why the sudden boom, then the sharp drop?
Canada's lawyers connect the dots to draw an interesting picture. As galloping taxes began to trample profits, cigarette manufacturers in Canada started exporting to agent companies south of the border. (Tobacco exports remained largely tax-exempt.) Although these companies were purportedly selling the cigarettes in the United States or re-exporting them to third countries, they were really—runs the accusation—handing them to smugglers, who then carried them back across the 5,522 miles (8,893 km) of border between the two countries.
At the time, even tobacco firms did not deny that some sort of smuggling was going on, though they denied responsibility for it. Smuggling was rampant, lobbyists agreed, but the blame lay with high taxes, not with the manufacturers, who were simply filling orders. After protests from sellers in Quebec, irate over sales lost to smugglers, Canada relented, slashing taxes dramatically.
At this point, opinions diverge. Canada's lawyers argue that at least one American cigarette company, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, helped to smuggle cigarettes made by its Canadian sister-company across the border. Not for nothing is RJR the firm named in the case. The Canadian wing, RJR-Macdonald, has been badly hit by two recent defeats in court. A couple of years ago a subsidiary based in the United States, Northern Brands International, pleaded guilty to smuggling and was fined $15m. Then Leslie Thompson, a former senior manager at RJR-Macdonald and NorthernBrands, was sent to prison for his part in the affair. All this makes Canadian lawyers believe that they can trace the smuggling across the border.
They have yet to prove their point. A lower-court judge in the United States said in June that his country's courts could not enforce Canadian tax laws, and handed Canada a defeat. The case is now on appeal and the Canadians are optimistic. Anti-smoking groups are happy, too, because the Canadian government seems likely to raise taxes back to the 1994 level.
The tobacco industry has had a horrible few months. First a Miami jury awarded an amazing $145 billion in punitive damages to sick Florida smokers. Then a report by the World Health Organisation, its great enemy, accused it of a "systematic effort" to discredit the WHO, and of trying to get the WHO's budget cut. The industry also faces smuggling-related lawsuits from the European Union, Ecuador and, of all places, Colombia. If the appeal in the Canadian case goes against it, share prices—like those cigarettes—may head sharply southwards.

Hasbulla Throws a Punch That Hits Shaquille O'Neal in the Face, and You Can Watch the Video Here
By Jeremy Caroll On Aug 28, 2022
Hasbulla has made the choice to resort to violence! Shaquille O'Neal, a legend in the National Basketball Association, is punched by a social media star in a new and humorous video. O'Neal uploaded the footage to his Instagram feed and shared it with his followers.
Hasbulla and Shaq are both currently in Australia in order to participate in a number of events there. They were able to spend some time together, and it appears like they wound up having a great deal of fun together. Continue reading to view the adorably cute video.

Hasbulla 'Almost Knocks Out' Shaq
Shaq can be seen having fun on a boat ride with Hasbulla in Sydney in a video that was published by Shaq on his Instagram account on Saturday. When the 19-year-old social media star signs for everyone to be quiet, the former player appears to be preoccupied with his phone in some way. After that, he gives Shaq a light touch on the shoulder before punching him square in the face.
After that, Shaq makes a convincing imitation of falling before staring at him in shock. The two smile broadly for the camera while simultaneously giving each other the middle finger and laughing. The former player, who is now 50 years old, captioned the photo with the phrase "@hasbulla.hushetskiy almost knocked me out."
A post shared by DR. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL Ed.D. (@shaq)
Fans found the video to be entertaining, and many voiced their enthusiasm for it in the comments section. A supporter left the following comment: "The showdown we never expected but needed," and another supporter wrote: "Never expected to see this combo lol."
A third person suggested in a remark that "they should film a sequel to Twins with you two in it." Another one of his followers remarked that it was "such an honor" to be hit by him.
The event management organization known as The Hour Group is responsible for bringing the two parties together. At the end of the day, the group posted yet another photo on social media of the two individuals dozing off on a couch with the message "What a day…"

This will be Hasbulla's very first trip to other countries
Hasbulla is embarking on his very first overseas tour during his time in Australia, and he has a variety of engagements scheduled for while he is there. Hasbulla expressed her excitement about the tour by saying, "I can't wait to see all of my Australian fans and visit these great cities." I am excited to experience a new culture because I am from a very small town in Russia and I am currently living in the United States. In addition to that, I am aware that there are kangaroos. It would be nice to get to know them.
After holding two meet and greet events at Le Montage in Sydney on August 29 and 30, the online superstar will move on to the Timberyard in Melbourne on August 31 and September 1.
In the year 2020, Hasbulla first gained widespread attention as the internet began spreading his videos widely. Over 2.9 million people are following this individual on Instagram, despite the fact that they were born with a growth hormone deficit. On TikTok, his videos consistently rack up billions of views.
The Australian Stops on Shaquille O'Neal's Tour
On Tuesday, Shaq arrived in Australia for the first time in more than two decades, making this trip a milestone in his career. After beginning his trip by conducting interviews, he transitioned into the role of DJ to deliver a set at the 170 Russell in Melbourne on Wednesday evening. At the Margaret Court Center on Thursday, a special event with the title An Evening with Shaquille O'Neal was prepared for attendees to enjoy.
The subsequent event in Sydney was held at The Star Centre, and the four-time NBA champion attended it. In addition, he was accompanied by Hasbulla for the course of the weekend.
