Remarks: A group of House Republicans, including two from Georgia, introduced legislation with the intention of removing Dr. Anthony Fauci as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, accusing him of misinforming former President Donald Trump and Americans with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. FULL STORY HERE: https://www.4cmitv.com/2021/06/15/2021-jun-15-fire-fauci-act-hr-2316-and-bring-salary-down-to-zero-introduced-in-congress/
BACKGROUND HEADLINES: H.R.2316 – Fire Fauci Act
To reduce the salary of the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to provide for an audit of the correspondence, financial statements, and policy memoranda within the Office of the Director during the COVID–19 outbreak, and for other purposes.
WASHINGTON D.C. – A group of House Republicans, including two from Georgia, introduced legislation with the intention of removing Dr. Anthony Fauci as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, accusing him of misinforming former President Donald Trump and Americans with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the sponsor of the bill. She said Tuesday she was proud to sponsor the "Fire Fauci Act," explaining Americans "deserve answers" to government shutdowns during 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Greene said the act, if passed, will "bring Fauci's salary to zero" and requires the U.S. Senate to confirm a replacement for his position.
"Dr. Fauci was not elected by the American people, he was not chosen to guide our economy, he was not chosen to rule over parents and their children's education, but yet Dr. Fauci very much controlled our lives over the past year,"
Earlier this month, thousands of Fauci's emails became public, prompting Republican outrage over his decision not to aggressively pursue the theory that coronavirus could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China earlier.
In one February 2020 email, he also said wearing a mask was "not really effective in keeping out the virus," though the disease expert has already admitted he downplayed the effectiveness of masks in part so that supply would not run low for medical professionals.
Fauci became a household name when he regularly began to appear in White House briefings on the pandemic alongside former President Donald Trump in 2020.
Greene placed the blame for multiple economic and medical crises, including an increase in suicide attempts during the pandemic, at Fauci's feet.
"People that are not elected by the American people should never be governing, never be controlling our lives,"
She referenced theories the virus that causes COVID-19 is man-made sending a letter to President Joe Biden earlier this month demanding those answers by the arbitrary deadline of June 31, a date which does not exist.
In the tweet, Greene wrote, "The American people deserve answers on the Wuhan lab & Fauci deserves to be held accountable!"
Today, I sent this letter to Joe Biden to demand an immediate investigation into Anthony Fauci's lies and his potential involvement in the cover up of the origins of the China virus.

Biden ordered U.S. intelligence officials to "redouble" their efforts to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any possibility the trail might lead to a Chinese laboratory. After months of minimizing these claims as a fringe theory, the Biden administration is joining worldwide pressure for China to be more open about the outbreak. It aims to head off GOP complaints that Biden has not been tough enough and to use the opportunity to press China on alleged obstruction.
Co-sponsors of Greene's bill include Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Arizona), Rep. Mary E. Miller (R-Illinois), Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Georgia), Rep. Bob Good (R-Virginia), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), Rep. Gregory W. Steube (R-Florida), and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Alabama).
Greene rejected the idea that the bill was fueling anti-Asian sentiment in the U.S. and was in fact contributing to the spread of misinformation. The White House stated a thorough investigation and data are required to make determinations about the origin of the virus.

In the ruling, Scottish Information Commissioner Darren Fitzhenry criticises ministers for taking an "overly legalistic" and "overly pedantic" approach and concludes the Scottish Government breached Freedom of Information (FOI) laws twice.
The finding follows a FOI request submitted by The Scotsman in September last year for any official report resulting from the Scottish Government's harassment complaints procedure under which the former first minister was investigated.
Mr Salmond succeeded in having the legal force of the decision report reduced through a judicial review, conceded by the Scottish Government on the grounds that it was "tainted by apparent bias".
The former first minister was also acquitted of criminal sexual offence charges in a trial last year.
Officials at the Scottish Government had initially claimed it could not release any official reports relating to the harassment complaints procedure on several grounds including legal privilege, contempt of court, personal information and prejudicing the conduct of effective public affairs.
However, following a review of the decision, ministers attempted to claim the report was not held and did not exist.
They argued the permanent secretary's decision report was not in scope due to the decision to concede the judicial review brought by Mr Salmond and the resulting reduction of the report.
Officials argued this meant the decision report was not held by the Scottish Government as it was not the "outcome" of the complaints procedure.
Ruling the Scottish Government had breached Freedom of Information law in two ways, the commissioner criticised the "overly pedantic" approach of the Scottish Government.
He said: "The commissioner does not accept the ministers' overly legalistic interpretation of the applicant's request and he cannot see any reason for the ministers' decision to apply section 17(1) in their review outcome, when the original response indicated that the ministers understood the request and had identified the withheld information.
"The commissioner considers that the applicant made a clearly worded request which captured the reduced decision report.
"Even if the applicant fell into the category of persons who can be expected to describe precisely what information they wish [to] receive … the commissioner would still expect an authority to have understood the information that was captured by [the] request … rather than simply deny that the information existed because the terminology used did not exactly match that used by the authority.
"This appears to be overly pedantic."
Mr Fitzhenry added: "There is no doubt in the commissioner's mind that the applicant clearly identified the information he requested and that the ministers understood exactly what information they were being asked for.
"In conclusion, the commissioner does not accept the ministers' interpretation of the applicant's request. The commissioner is satisfied that it was clear what information the applicant had requested, and that request which specifically refers to 'any official report' captures the reduced decision report.
"The commissioner finds that the ministers were wrong to interpret the request the way they did."
As part of the ruling, the Scottish Government was also criticised for failing to respond to the request in enough time.
The government will now have the opportunity to block the publication of the decision report on other grounds.
It follows a decision in which the National Records of Scotland – a government agency – was criticised for a "lack of transparency" in connection with refusing to publish the breakdown of Covid-19 deaths in Scottish care homes.
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: "We have received the decision and are considering its terms."

Yesterday, Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe (real name Eric Barone) teamed up with UnsurpassableZ (real name Zach Hartman) to host the very first Stardew Valley Cup. The livestream event boasted a $40,000 prize pool and featured the best Stardew Valley speedrunners and content creators. Following the event, UnsurpassableZ asked Barone a variety of questions from the game's large community, including questions about future Stardew Valley updates, and at one point, Barone mentioned he may announce his new game "fairly soon."
Stardew Valley updates uncertain, but a new game of some kind is for sure
Of the many question asked, one asked about a mod that allows players to marry pretty much every NPC in the game. Barone stated that implementing this feature into Stardew Valley would be "just a ton of work," which is also the reason why he hasn't added more characters in updates. He explained more about the effort it would take to add this feature:
To have someone become a marriage candidate, that means I have to add a lot of dialogue and at least two more events, and those events take a lot of time. It may seem like it's not that big of a deal, but they take a huge amount of time. There's a lot of other stuff – you have to make the spouse room. There's just a lot to it. So that's the reason why I haven't just added more marriage candidates. But there's no reason why I'm opposed to having more. I think it would be fun.
Barone revealed that he has two characters in mind in terms of marriage candidacy but clarified that the concept isn't in active development. He said, "I'm not saying there's going to be another Stardew Valley update. I don't even know at this point. Right now I am focused on my next game. So, we'll see." The most recent Stardew Valley update launched on PC last December and this past February on consoles.
Not much is known about Barone's new game, but he said during the livestream that "it's another pixel art game, a top-down perspective similar to Stardew Valley. And in some ways it is kind of similar to Stardew Valley, but it's not a farming game. It's something different." Back in February 2020, Barone stated on Twitter that he was actually working on two new games in the Stardew Valley universe.

Cyanobacterial blooms degrade water quality in drinking water supply reservoirs by producing toxic and taste-and-odor causing secondary metabolites, which ultimately cause public health concerns and lead to increased treatment costs for water utilities. There have been numerous attempts to create models that predict cyanobacteria and their secondary metabolites, most using linear models; however, linear models are limited by assumptions about the data and have had limited success as predictive tools. Thus, lake and reservoir managers need improved modeling techniques that can accurately predict large bloom events that have the highest impact on recreational activities and drinking-water treatment processes. In this study, we compared 12 unique linear and nonlinear regression modeling techniques to predict cyanobacterial abundance and the cyanobacterial secondary metabolites microcystin and geosmin using 14 years of physiochemical water quality data collected from Cheney Reservoir, Kansas. Support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), boosted tree (BT), and Cubist modeling techniques were the most predictive of the compared modeling approaches. SVM, RF, and BT modeling techniques were able to successfully predict cyanobacterial abundance, microcystin, and geosmin concentrations <60,000 cells/mL, 2.5 µg/L, and 20 ng/L, respectively. Only Cubist modeling predicted maxima concentrations of cyanobacteria and geosmin; no modeling technique was able to predict maxima microcystin concentrations. Because maxima concentrations are a primary concern for lake and reservoir managers, Cubist modeling may help predict the largest and most noxious concentrations of cyanobacteria and their secondary metabolites.

Jesse Snoddon's review published on Letterboxd:
Judas and the Black Messiah is a remarkably effective tragedy and timely reminder of the social injustice still at play in America today. Daniel Kaluuya is outstanding as Fred Hampton, bringing all the charisma and compassion needed to the character to convey that this was a man who was on track to change the world for the better. The film is great on this front alone, but where it really takes things to the next level is in the decision to tell the story from the perspective of William O'Neal, the man who betrayed him. It's a challenging way to tell a story and the film succeeds in meeting that challenge. LaKeith Stanfield is incredible in the role. It's a nuanced performance that grapples with the difficult, lose-lose situation a desperate man finds himself in. There's an extremely fine line here that the film walks, avoiding outright condemnation on one side and absolution on the other. It feels like a genuine, compassionate attempt to understand the social conditions that would drive someone to do something so horrible. It's wonderfully shot by regular Steve McQueen collaborator Sean Bobbitt and has an excellent score. It's only February but this is one of the best 2021 movies I have seen so far. I'll stop here, as this is a relatively new release at the time of this entry and I don't want to spoil anything (plus a lot of people have already seen it and don't need to rehash specific details).

Case Study: PDO Lifting Threads & Dermal Filler
This client wanted to look refreshed and still have a natural look. She especially did not like how her neck looked and wanted to address that area. PDO lifting threads were placed in the face and the neck along with a small amount of dermal filler in the cheek area. This patient is very happy with the results. This is after 3 weeks and will continue to get better with time.

Several years ago during lunch, my sister told me, "You're doing turtle neck." As I considered how you "do" a sweater, she clarified that I was thrusting my head forward, making it stick out in front instead of in alignment with my top vertebrae. I looked like a turtle poking its head out of its shell. The more boring official term for this is forward head posture or scholar's neck or text neck (a sign of the times). It's one of the most common causes of poor posture.
I started paying attention. And it was true. I kept pushing my face forward, like I was constantly trying to smell a flower just out of reach. Adjust. A few minutes pass. Check in. I was a turtle once more. My body didn't understand its transgression, it simply reverted to what it knew as normal, what I had taught it.
For 30 years, I taught my body to be smaller, to look different, to protect my ruby egg of a heart. My body is only trying to be my friend by holding on to that lesson. My default became lifting my shoulders to my ears and curling my back, like I am trying to hug my body into a compact ball. But recently this has been causing me pain, and often pain initiates action. So I set off on a mission to straighten up, testing treatment options and talking to experts who could help me navigate my way out of my turtle world.
I am an able-bodied, active 31-year old man. But my muscles feel how a sequoia's roots look. When did the problem begin?
Maybe it began when I started wearing a backpack. Maybe it started before I gender transitioned, when my body defied my truth and popped breasts out of my chest. Or maybe it was two years ago when I freed myself of them, curled up for months in recovery from my double mastectomy. Maybe the problem began when I had to pay my own bills, the stress so heavy I curved under its pressure.
According to Naryan Sawyers, a chiropractor in Alphabet City, NYC, the problem starts in first grade.
"We go from moving our bodies and activating our brains outside using the force of motion to sitting still in a classroom," Sawyers explained. "It's harder to control your posture while sitting because you are removing your trunk. You are taking out half of the kinetic chain from foot to head, then trying to sit up straight against gravity."
Sawyers and I spoke after he gave me my first chiropractic adjustment. I lay face down on the table so he could see how my body situated itself. He informed me my right leg was about ¾ of an inch shorter than the left, and I immediately decided this is why I am bad at yoga and even emotional balance. After jackhammering me with a massage tool to relax my muscles and increase blood flow, he placed his hands on my mid-spine, pressed down, and I heard a satisfying pop. He explained the sound to me by comparing it to taking the lid off a pickle jar: "You're creating space so more fluid can get in that area, leading to more range of motion. When you feel more open in your body, it decreases the stress in the system."

Since 1985, the Lifeline program has provided a discount on phone service for qualifying low-income consumers to ensure that all Americans
have the opportunities and security that phone service brings, including being able to connect to jobs, family and emergency services. In 2005, Lifeline discounts
were made available to qualifying low-income consumers on pre-paid wireless service plans in addition to traditional landline service. Lifeline is part of the
Universal Service Fund.
The Lifeline program is available to eligible low-income consumers in every state, territory, commonwealth, and on Tribal lands. Consumers with proper proof of
eligibility may be qualified to enroll.
Federal rules prohibit eligible low-income consumers from receiving more than one Lifeline discount per household. An eligible consumer may receive a discount on
either a wireline or wireless service, but not both. A consumer whose household currently is receiving more than one Lifeline service must select a single Lifeline
provider and contact the other provider to de-enroll from their program. Consumers violating this rule may also be subject to criminal and/or civil penalties.
The Lifeline program is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). USAC is responsible for data collection and maintenance, support calculation, and disbursement for the low-income program.

Motor Racing: The Records
Bald statistics have always fascinated many a motor racing connoisseur, and no doubt always will. If the sport has long been awaiting the Guinness Book of Records treatment, this heavy, soft-cover volume provides the nearest thing no far.
No sooner is any such work published, of course, than it is out of date— which means this offering (complete to the end of 1986) has to be more useful than any forebears. But that is not to say it is fully comprehensive.
Top-six finishers, pole position and fastest lap are given for every Grand Prix since the introduction of the World Championship in 1950, though cross-referencing of driver and marque records is no more thorough than that previously published in yearbooks by such as John Player and Marlboro. Details of earlier Grands Prix, junior single-seater formulae, spot-swat-n, Indianapolis 500, Mille Miglia and Targa Florio have greater rarity value.
But some of the information frankly seems out of place. Tasman and Can-Am series attracted many top-class drivers in their day, but the entire history (both years) of Formula 3000 in tabulated form has little historical consequence at this point. The inclusion of Race of Champions. British Formula Three and Grovewood Award sections gives this book of international records a notably British slant.
Narrative interludes on specific subjects (famous drivers, races, circuits or technical themes) are brief, and there are insufficient exciting or colourful photographs to make this a coffee-table tome.
But while it could not be described as "reading material" in the usual sense, its hours-of-engrossment-to-cost ratio defines it as a bargain for the enthusiast/statistician. GT

Ensure Proper Ventilation
When you think about roof repairs and repairs, you may not consider requiring an soffit or fascia repair. If you're confused and not sure what soffit and fascia have in common, fret it's not a problem for anyone else. A majority of people don't know what they're talking about using these terms.
A fascia is the part of the wall which is erected on the roof where the walls that surround your house meet. This is the place where the drainage for your home is situated. The function of the fascia is to ensure that water run-off from your roof is directed to the gutter.

What Causes The Soffit And Its Fascias To Get Damaged?
As you might imagine it, the fascia is subject to a lot of wear just from performing its job. It is subject to a lot of abuse in a storm because it holds up thousands of gallons of water and directs them to the drain. This prevents the runoff from flowing over your roof and creating a waterfall to walk along every time you leave the house in the midst of the storm.
Flashing, shingles that are damaged and leaky gutters may result in the fascia to absorb water that may seep through the boards. This causes the structural integrity of the fascia to decrease as the natural process begins in the process of rotting the wood. This could lead to significant problems for homeowners like the fascia getting detached from the roof, or bent.
The soffit may also be affected by water damage. Because water and ice are often deposited on the roof's bottom the soffit is prone to wearing down. In addition the warmth and protection against the weather that soffit can provide is an enormous draw for insects, such as wasps and bees, and birds that are looking for a suitable place to build their nests.

Fans disturbed to learn Will Smith used to throw up after orgasms
Actor, rapper, and Jada Smith's husband Will Smith used to have so much sex it would make him puke post-orgasm, his new memoir details. Smith's book Will came out earlier this month, and Buzzfeed News took the time to highlight some of its more surprising reveals about the millionaire movie star.
In his youth, Smith dated a girl named Melanie. She lived with an aunt after an unfortunate childhood incident and then got kicked out. After that, she went to live with Smith.
"The look in Melanie's eyes became the substitute for Gigi's [his grandmother's] approval. I've always needed a woman to achieve for," he wrote.
Melanie cheated on Smith while he was on tour and it gutted him. In order to help himself get over it, Smith said he went wild with sex and took it too far.
"I desperately need relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse," Smith wrote. "Up until this point in my life, I had only had sex with one woman other than Melanie. But over the next few months, I went full ghetto hyena."
Apparently going that hard has some consequences.
"I had sex with so many women, and it was so constitutionally disagreeable to the core of my being, that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm," he said. "It would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit."
Your guess is as good as mine as to a headcount for "so many women," but I think it's safe to safe we're in high numbers if you're puking after the fact.
Fans were downright shocked, with several thinking that Smith needs to learn the definition of "TMI."
Some took a chance to playfully fire shots at Smith as well with various meme videos.
Of course to some, it seems this incredibly strange fact just makes him that much better.
Will Smith can currently be seen in the biopic King Richard, streaming on HBO Max for a short time and in theaters nationwide.
What do you think of this new bit of knowledge you now unfortunately have about the famous actor? Tell us in the comments.

Purple teaming combines "red team" and "blue team" security exercises. "Red Teaming" is a type of penetration testing (simulated attack) with no inside knowledge about the company or application/s. "Blue Teaming" is a type of incident response (defensive activity) that tests your ability to respond to a real-world attack. By conducting these exercises together (purple teaming), you'll better simulate a real attack scenario and gauge your team's response.
Our security experts will work with you to build a security roadmap with compliance and security milestones.
We start with a high-level overview of your company's current information security program. This initial meeting is designed to connect you with the Security Ideals' Team as well as introduce our Risk Assessment Framework.

Just make sure that you just stay away from those that are time wasters. By using an online guide you can avoid the negative ones and get to meet the women you have met on the net.

Science Fictions
My submission to the consultation on the draft Australian Curriculum for science
The current version of the Australian Curriculum: Science is deeply flawed and a review of its structure is therefore welcome. However, the draft F-10 Australian Curriculum: Science is worse than the current version.
The current F-10 Australian Curriculum: Science
The current science curriculum envisages science as consisting of three strands: Science Understanding, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Inquiry Skills.
Science Understanding is what is commonly accepted as scientific knowledge and in the Australian Curriculum, this is unambitious, thin and vague.
Science as a Human Endeavour initially appears to be about the history and philosophy of science – a subject well known at university but perhaps a little eccentric in a F-10 context. Its 'content descriptions' are extremely broad, such as the following example from Year 9:
"considering how the idea of elements has developed over time as knowledge of the nature of matter has improved."
It is difficult to see how students could begin to successfully tackle such a question without a great deal of prior scientific knowledge. In other words, Science as a Human Endeavour cannot be a parallel strand to Scientific Understanding but sits in a hierarchy where content knowledge must come first. At younger year levels, the descriptors are trivial and meaningless, perhaps as a result of being challenging for curriculum writers to generate, with examples including, "recognising that observation is an important part of exploring and investigating the things and places around us" (Foundation Year).
Science Inquiry Skills are part of a venerable tradition addressing the epistemology of science i.e. the way that new scientific knowledge is generated. As such, this strand is potentially valuable, although not as substantial in scope as science content knowledge. There are two obvious objectives to develop in such a strand:
1. Teaching students about the scientific method such as:
The process of hypothesizing, testing against empirical data and developing a theory.
The concept of a 'fair test' where only one factor is varied at a time (a concept that should be adhered to more often by education researchers)
The idea that correlation is not causation
2. Specific practical techniques that prepare students for later investigative work such as:
How to safely light and control a Bunsen burner
How to safely heat liquid in a boiling tube
How to construct series and parallel circuits and use meters to measure current and voltage
How to sample vegetation with a quadrat
However, while the current Science Inquiry Skills strand deals with the scientific method, it barely touches on practical techniques. Moreover, the curriculum implies that concepts about the scientific method should be developed through the process of conducting scientific investigations.
Research suggests that explicit teaching ensures a greater proportion of students learn concepts such as the need for a fair test in comparison to students who conduct their own investigations. In addition, students who do manage to learn these concepts by conducting their own investigations are no better at applying them to new contexts than students who have been explicitly taught (Klahr & Nigam, 2004). This is consistent with a large body of research evidence that demonstrates that explicit teaching is superior to students figuring out concepts for themselves (Kirschner, Sweller & Clark, 2006). Scientific knowledge is the product of centuries of human endeavour that often produces counter-intuitive results and so it is perhaps not surprising that expert instruction is superior to novices attempting to recapitulate these discoveries for themselves.
The Science Inquiry Skills strand of the current curriculum assumes that students should behave as if they were professional scientists, with an emphasis on developing supposed skills such as 'Questioning and predicting' and 'Planning and conducting'. These are not properly termed 'skills' because no such generic, trainable skills exist (Tricot & Sweller, 2014). Instead, this confuses the process of learning a field of knowledge with the practices of a professional who has already developed expertise in that field. It confuses the epistemology of science – the way scientists obtain new scientific knowledge – with pedagogy – the best way to teach this knowledge to novices (Kirschner, 2009).
A useful analogy may be that used by Richard Feynman in a 1974 Commencement address at Caltech:
"In the South Seas there is a Cargo Cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes land with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they've arranged to make things like runways, to put fires along the sides of the runways, to make a wooden hut for a man to sit in, with two wooden pieces on his head like headphones and bars of bamboo sticking out like antennas—he's the controller—and they wait for the airplanes to land. They're doing everything right. The form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looked before. But it doesn't work. No airplanes land."
Mimicking the behaviours of trained scientists without all of the other knowledge, skills and understandings that underpin these behaviours is like making a bamboo antenna and expecting the planes to land.
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is run by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In the 2015 PISA assessments, there was a focus on science achievement and the OECD decided to examine the relationship between science achievement and learning science through inquiry-based approaches.
Students participating in the PISA assessments were asked to report on how often the following happened in their science lessons:
Students are given opportunities to explain their ideas;
Students spend time in the laboratory doing practical experiments;
Students are required to argue about science questions;
Students are asked to draw conclusions from an experiment they have conducted;
The teacher explains how a science idea can be applied to a number of different phenomena;
Students are allowed to design their own experiments;
There is a class debate about investigations;
The teacher clearly explains the relevance of science concepts to our lives;
Students are asked to do an investigation to test ideas.
The OECD (2016) found that, "Perhaps surprisingly, in no education system do students who reported that they are frequently exposed to enquiry-based instruction (when they are encouraged to experiment and engage in hands-on activities) score higher in science. After accounting for students' and schools' socio-economic profile, in 56 countries and economies, greater exposure to enquiry-based instruction is associated with lower scores in science."
This finding has since been confirmed by peer-reviewed research (Oliver, McConney, & Woods-McConney, 2019; Jerrim, Oliver, & Sims, 2020). At the very least, we should be open to the prospect that any increase in emphasis on scientific inquiry in the Australian Curriculum could lead to a decrease in performance on PISA science.
The draft F-10 Australian Curriculum: Science
Which leads to the draft F-10 Australian Curriculum: Science. The three strands of the current curriculum have been retained, although 'Science Inquiry Skills' has been renamed 'science inquiry' (ACARA, 2021a). In addition:
"A common verb has been used for all content descriptions in the science understanding and science as a human endeavour strands: across F–2, 'explore' has been used; and across Years 3–10, 'investigate' has been used. The use of these verbs strengthens alignment with the science inquiry strand, and the content descriptions within science inquiry clearly articulate the expectations associated with 'exploring' or 'investigating' at each year level…
… Intercultural inquiry skills, essential for conducting science inquiry in the Australian context, have been added, and the core inquiry skills of modelling and argumentation have been strengthened within the content descriptions…
… In the science as a human endeavour strand, content at F–6 has been reframed to ensure that students learn about the nature of science through a focus on how scientists engage in inquiry. This complements the science inquiry strand, in which students develop their own inquiry practices."
This represents a significant increase in emphasis on inquiry methods. Where is the evidence that trainable skills of 'modelling and argumentation' exist? However, perhaps the most significant development is that every content description in the 'science understanding' strand now begins with 'explore' or 'investigate'. These verbs clearly promote an inquiry-led approach to learning scientific content, are intended to do so according to ACARA's own explanation and are at odds with the research evidence.
One example of such a content descriptor includes (ACARA, 2021b):
"investigate the observable properties of solids, liquids and gases and how adding or removing heat energy changes the state of water" (Year 3)
This effectively prescribes that students must learn these concepts through a class investigation. A curriculum should not require certain teaching methods. Methods should be left to teachers and schools to decide. A curriculum should certainly not require the use of inferior teaching methods. Instead, it should specify exactly what students are supposed to know about e.g. the effect of adding or removing heat on the properties of solids, liquids and gases.
In other cases, the insertion of 'investigate' is non-sensical and the inevitable result of a blanket decision to shoehorn it in to every content description:
"investigate the relationship between the sun and planets in the solar system and how Earth's tilt, rotation on its axis and revolution around the sun cause cyclic observable phenomena, including variable day and night length" (Year 5)
The elaborations clarify that such an 'investigation' is to be achieved by a combination of role-plays, research and the use of models. It is worth mentioning that this is an area notorious among physics teachers for its capacity to generate misconceptions. What exactly do we want students to know about the relationship between The Sun and Planets? The elaborations add some additional detail, but they are still not sufficiently explicit. The most direct elaboration is probably, "explaining the role of gravity in keeping the planets in orbit around the sun." And yet it does not specify exactly the role we want Year 5 students to be able to explain. This is significant given the wide variation in depth with which this question could be tackled.
The degradation of clarity that such contrived statements produce is therefore deeply unfortunate. Faced with this lack of clarity, teachers are likely to become more dependent on commercial resources which, in turn, are likely to be prompted by the statements to focus on inquiry-based learning activities.
In contrast to increasing the emphasis on inquiry, the content of the science understanding strand has been further watered-down (ACARA, 2021a):
"The science understanding strand has been the primary focus for reducing content in the Australian Curriculum: Science."
It is not clear why we would seek to teach students less science and no explanation is offered. Perhaps this relates to the general imperative to 'declutter' the curriculum.
The draft curriculum has taken the worst aspects of the current curriculum and amplified them. A curriculum should be a list of what we want students to know, described as precisely and unambiguously as possible, and should not prescribe teaching styles. Not only does the draft prescribe a teaching style, it prescribes one that is known to be less effective – inquiry learning. As a result of prescribing this teaching style, the curriculum lacks clarity around exactly what we want students to know. Finally, almost as an afterthought, the draft has cut the amount of scientific knowledge to be taught.
If adopted, the best-case scenario is that teachers and schools largely ignore this curriculum and perhaps work together to develop something superior. The worst-case scenario is that its adoption will lead to an increase in inquiry learning teaching activities, a decrease in the amount of actual science that is learnt as a result of both the inquiry learning approach and the reduction in content, and a subsequent decline on objective measures of Australian students' science achievement, such as that provided by PISA.

The Auroville Film Festival is pleased to do a public screening of an award-winning feature film from the festival. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Aurovilian Ann Riquier, originator of the film.
- When: 8pm, 28 April, 2022
- Where: Cinema Paradiso
Songs of the Water Spirits
2020, India, Documentary, English and Ladakhi, 1hr 40min
The challenge of a society set in the breathtaking mountains of the Himalayas against environmental degradation. Can the quest for a "glocal" way of living projected towards an "ancient future" inspire the Western economies of our planet?
Director Statement:
"Ladakh is an extraordinary place. There are legends that even unite the paths of Buddha and Christ. And people like me, who live in the globalized West, have always dreamed and seen the Himalayas and Tibet as a stronghold against the excesses of modernity. But the truth is the opposite, the problems of life in our modern society end up re-emerging among the most remote Himalayan mountains. Here, climate change, decadence, urbanization, and traffic pollution are, in some cases, even more brutal. Is it really the end of that magical and mystical dreamed world, full of mysteries rich in meaning? My hope is that the courageous dynamism of some visionary minds working across the platforms of culture, research and technology can break the ongoing vicious cycle and open a new way.
While we are dealing with racial issues and a continued fight for racial equality, while we are dealing with Covid issues, we are also dealing with really big climate issues. That is going to be the issue that we are all going to be faced with in a big way, and making allies with the elements is going to be a big part of the solution. It's not all of it, but if you love the elements they will love you. We need to build a relationship with the elements because they are speaking to us right now, and they are speaking in ways that we need to stand up and listen to. So I hope that you will open up your heart to the elements and see what happens."

The influence of psychological ownership and social support on organizational resilience: the mediating role of organizational identity
Faced with a complex and volatile environment, improving the resilience of organizations to resist various risks, enhancing the viability of enterprises, and ultimately achieving sustainable development capabilities has become a top priority for business managers. This study first explores the relationship between employee psychological ownership, organizational resilience, and social support by combining the relevant literature, constructing a theoretical research model, and proposing hypotheses. Through statistical analysis of 332 valid questionnaires, the results show that employee psychological ownership positively impacts organizational resilience. Also, social supports positively affect organizational resilience and organizational identity in employee psychological ownership, and social supports and organizational resilience both play an intermediary role.

A Cleveland man frustrated over the theft of his Honda Civic decided to track it down himself, and police say his search led to the bust of a car-theft ring and chop shop.
Twenty-year-old Christopher Bravo said he saw his car in a garage near one of the city's police stations. Police showed up, and authorities said they found an abandoned home nearby that was full of car parts, arrested nine people and towed away six stolen Civics.
The bust was made by a department that has one officer assigned to the auto theft unit in a city where more than 4,000 cars were stolen last year. That's down from 12 members six years ago.
The auto theft unit in Columbus has 20 assigned officers and a similar unit in Detroit has 35 officers.
Due to the high number of cars stolen in the city, Cleveland should have a fully staffed unit, said Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association.
Police Chief Michael McGrath said a crime analysis unit determines areas that have a high rate of car thefts. A task force of local and federal officers is investigating those areas.
"Just because we don't have an auto theft unit doesn't mean we don't investigate these crimes," he said.
Cities across the country are cutting back on the size of auto theft units due to budget concerns and having other squads handle investigations, said Frank Scafidi, a spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
"The expertise is being diluted," he said. "It's an unfortunate sign of the times."
Following Monday's arrests, more than 15 patrol officers and detectives spent hours cataloging stolen cars and parts.
Bravo's 1993 electric blue Civic was stolen from his home on May 20, about a month after he bought it. A backyard mechanic, he had invested about $5,000 in an engine.
He said he put the word out that the car was missing, and received a tip that led him to the garage where it was found – in dozens of pieces.
Bravo said he "was getting aggravated" when he went searching for his car and was shocked by the home with all the car parts.
"It looked like it had been going on forever," he said.
Loomis said chop shops are hidden across the city.
"It goes unchecked in Cleveland until we stumble across them," he said. "It's horrifying."
