Leaders and governors have have developed a broad and rich curriculum, which is ambitious for all pupils. – Ofsted, November 2022
Our Vision:
Why? We believe in preparing our children for life in the modern world, becoming resilient adults with integrity, radiating creativity, able to take responsibility for their actions, and shape their future.
How? We have a holistic philosophy to each child through providing a truly broad and balanced curriculum, nurturing creativity and one that fosters independence in both learning and thought.
What? In partnership with our parents and the community we serve, we provide high quality learning of the national curriculum subjects, alongside encouraging children to develop their individual talents and gifts through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences.
Curriculum Intent:
At Springcroft, our curriculum prepares our children for a constantly changing world, giving them the necessary skills to both appreciate and contribute to British society and lead happy, healthy lives. Our Values; Resilience, Creativity, Integrity and Collective Responsibility, are quite simply 'The way we do things around here' and they form our foundation and provide the justification of our behaviours in everything we do
Our Curriculum Design
General principles
Our curriculum will give children the opportunity to:
At Springcroft Primary School, we believe that all schools should be a safe, exciting, challenging and wonderful place where children and staff want to learn and develop, and extend thus learning to enable all to flourish beyond the classroom. Through our values, we believe in preparing our children for life in the modern world, becoming resilient adults with integrity, radiating creativity, able to take responsibility for their actions, and shape their future and foster a love of lifelong learning. In partnership with our parents, our children are encouraged to be curious, use thinking skills to innovate, be creative and problem solve and to develop the first understandings of employment and entrepreneurship.
Our Curriculum Structure (Implementation) is built around consistent drivers for learning:
With a successful leadership model embedded in the school, all staff are committed to their role in ensuring our children make progress and achieve. Our curriculum is carefully crafted to ensure all children have equal access to all areas of the curriculum, enrichment activities and extra-curricular learning too. We have devised our curriculum to ensure breadth and balance for all.
Our curriculum will give children the opportunity to:
Throughout Springcroft Primary School, individuality is actively encouraged and celebrated. Pupils are encouraged to make their own decisions about all aspects of school life based on their own personal interests, strengths and values. We believe that our curriculum is inspiring; encouraging pupils to quickly develop a love of learning and to develop a sense of wonder. We learn from those who think differently to ourselves, and foster challenge of the status quo. Pupils have a strong sense of right and wrong which underpins the outstanding behaviour evident in the school. All stakeholders are proud to be part of our school and enthusiastically join in with teaching learning, school performances and extra curricular activities.
Children understand that they can bring change to make the world a better place and Be part of a system where everyone plays an equal part
Our curriculum will give children the opportunity to:
All children, young people and adults have their ups and downs and experience all kinds of thoughts and feelings as they move through life.
There are many different kinds of problems and worries that get in the way of us all growing with enjoyment, happiness and confidence; this is what we mean by emotional well-being.
Problems vary in how serious they can be. For some children and young people the problems may pass quickly, for others their everyday lives are greatly affected and they may need extra help over and above what can ordinarily be provided by their families, relatives and friends.
At Springcroft, we use Hope Project; a school emotional wellbeing service which supports children, young people and their families. The project offers signposting, self-help guidance, early intervention and also promotes a whole school approach for emotional wellbeing.
A child or young person may need someone to talk to about emotional, behavioural, social difficulties or need some advice. Hope is aiming to provide this support.
At our school there is a team who support children and young people, which includes the Head Teacher, Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENDCO), Well-being Lead and Year 6 Pupil Hope Mentors. There will be other people that help the service such as School Nurse, Parent or Family Support Worker and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The number of sessions required depends on the problem. Typically, 5-8 sessions are enough to resolve difficulties in the early stage. The sessions will be reviewed and any decisions made will be shared and agreed with the people concerned. Drop-ins are also be available for parents and young people for one-off advice.
All information relating to support sessions are protected and treated with the greatest respect. As this is a school service, the Head Teacher and Class Teacher are normally consulted for further information relating to the child/young person's difficulties, unless permission is refused for this contact. Parent/carers with parental responsibility will be informed of the service provided to their child/young person. At times, and in exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary for certain information to be shared with other agencies, for example, if there are child safety or safeguarding concerns.
Show resilience and develop their self esteem so that they recognise that people are good at different things.
Pupil Voice
Our curriculum will give children the opportunity to:
The School council is made up of two children from each year group in Key Stage One and Key Stage Two. They are elected at the beginning of each school year after presenting an election speech to the rest of their class. We have also formed links with our local Rotary Club. This has fostered an exciting and practical approach to supporting the citizenship element to the national curriculum - allowing children to enjoy and boost their confidence and self-esteem, and develop and understanding of how their actions can impact on others.
The School Council meet once a fortnight to discuss the cares and concerns from the children across the school. These include many aspects of school life, including school rules, how to improve our school environment and pupil activities.
All the representatives report back to their class after the meetings to let everyone know about any decisions that have been made.
Our curriculum will be taught through a pedagogy that:
The aim of our curriculum is to provide opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident, successful learners with high aspirations who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider society. There is a high focus on developing children's moral, spiritual, social and cultural understanding. Our broad and balanced curriculum has been carefully designed and mapped out to ensure coverage and progression. It has a project-based, thematic approach and provides children with a range of rich and memorable learning experiences.
Springcroft Primary School employs a consistent pedagogic method across the curriculum starting with valued prior knowledge, the experiences children bring to the classroom and making personal connections.
Our pedagogy is based on four distinct stages. These stages are: Engage – Develop – Innovate – Express, also known as the Four Cornerstones. These four distinct stages give clear direction for both teaching and learning. While the Four Cornerstones provide us with a basis on which to deliver the curriculum, the beauty is that the finer details of content can be adapted to meet our school's context and any research they have undertaken.
Personal achievement whether it be in academic, artistic, sporting or spiritual areas, and recognising each child's potential, strengths and areas for extra support through an individualised approach, are central to our approach to teaching and learning. This will be dependent on our commitment to excellence in instruction, the professional development of teaching staff, strong partnerships with families, assessment for teaching, meeting the needs of every child in an inclusive way and a reflective and supportive approach to evaluating, reviewing and researching the performance of both students and staff. We base our work on the joy of the intrinsic reward that comes from achievement and mastery, and from participating in enjoyable, varied, exciting and challenging projects and learning experiences
We will enrich our curriculum by:
In every class, every term, we begin with a memorable experience that stimulates children's curiosity and prepares them for a new theme. These memorable experiences often involve an educational visit out of school or a visitor coming into school to share their expertise with the children. We supplement this with residential stays from Year 2 upwards, with children in upper Key Stage 2 having the opportunity to visit Europe for a week's residential trip.
Every academic year, children in Key Stage 2 visit a local theatre to watch a performance one of the literary classics. Additionally, the whole school undertakes learning on a Shakespeare novel and we welcome a theatre group into school to perform and participate in drama workshops.
Subject leaders have a clear understanding of what is working well in their subjects. They have thought carefully about what pupils will learn and when. From the early years through to Year 6, leaders have planned opportunities to revisit key concepts.
For example, in art and design, when pupils explore collage, they apply their knowledge of techniques used by artists such as Picasso. This prompts them to use and embed what they have learned before, and to make connections with new learning. It also ensures that pupils' knowledge and skills build over time. – Ofsted, November 2022

'Scooby-Doo' Co-Creator Joe Ruby Dead at 87
With partner Ken Spears, Ruby also co-created 'Dynomutt, Dog Wonder,' 'Jabberjaw' and more
Published Aug 27, 2020Joe Ruby — an American animator, writer, editor and television producer known best as the co-creator of the Scooby-Doo franchise — has died. Per an obituary, Ruby passed away Wednesday (August 26) of natural causes, surrounded by family at his California home. He was 87.
Born in Los Angeles in 1933, Ruby grew up a fan of comic books and dreamed of a career as an artist. Upon graduating high school, he served in the the Korean War as a sonar operator ahead of beginning his industry career at Walt Disney Studios.
While working in Disney's animation department and as a music editor, Ruby began freelance work as a comic book artist and writer, and found his way to working for Hanna-Barbera Productions. It was here where he would meet Ken Spears, with whom he would go on to create the iconic Scooby-Doo characters.
At the behest of executive Fred Silverman, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera tasked Ruby and Spears with the creation of a new series in the vein of The Archie Show, centred on a teenage rock group that would solve mysteries in between shows.
Alongside character designer Iwao Takamoto, the pair tweaked and reworked this concept to eventually settle on classic characters Freddie, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and the titular Great Dane. As Ruby would tell fansite Scooby Addicts, "We kicked around a lot of names, and just decided which ones seemed to fit their personalities best."
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! first aired on CBS in 1969. Ruby, Spears and Bill Lutz wrote all of the scripts for the show's 17 first-season episodes, while the pair would serve as story editors on the second season of its original run. The years that followed saw the characters adapted for myriad follow-up and spinoff animated series, television specials and made-for-TV movies, direct-to-video films and a pair of theatrical feature films.
The series' theme song has been covered by the likes of Third Eye Blind, Billy Ray Cyrus, the B-52's, MxPx and Matthew Sweet. Most recently, the 13th instalment Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? arrived last June through American streaming service Boomerang.
Ruby and Spears would also helm Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and Jabberjaw for Hanna-Barbera, choosing to leave that company in 1977 to found their their own animation studio, Ruby-Spears Productions. Here, they would produce animated series including Fangface, The Plastic Man Comedy-Adventure Hour, Thundarr the Barbarian, Saturday Supercade, Mister T, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Superman and more.
Ruby-Spears Productions was acquired by Hanna-Barbera's parent company, Taft Entertainment, in 1981, ahead of Turner Broadcasting's acquisition of the Hanna-Barbera library and studio in 1991.
Ruby is survived by his wife of 63 years, Carole, four children and 10 grandchildren.

Bears safety Jackson, WR Mooney suffer injuries in loss to Jets
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Bears played the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in October. Afterward, center Sam Mustipher felt some soreness in his joints.
"Knees. Ankles. Hips," Mustipher said. "I have to see the chiropractor on Wednesday for a realignment and stuff. You definitely feel it more so on the turf than you would on grass."
So the Bears knew what they were in for when they returned to the infamous MetLife Stadium turf on Sunday to face the New York Jets. It's no secret among NFL circles that the artificial turf at this field, in particular, seems to lead to more injuries than others.
It struck the Bears bad on Sunday. They appeared to lose a team captain.
Safety Eddie Jackson suffered a noncontact foot injury during the second quarter of Sunday's loss, 31-10, against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Jackson crumpled into a heap on the turf in the middle of a play, several yards from the action.
With Jackson on the ground, Jets receiver Garrett Wilson blew through the Bears' secondary for a 54-yard touchdown on the play.
MetLife Stadium, which is home to both the Jets and Giants, has drawn criticism from the NFL Players Association for its use of "slit film" turf. It's one of six NFL stadium that use this type of turf. The NFLPA believes this type of turf causes more injuries than others forms of synthetic turf. The stadium is planning to resurface the field prior to the 2023 season, according to multiple reports.
Jackson's injury appeared to be quite serious. He needed to be carted from the team sideline to the locker room. The Bears were already playing without rookie safety Jaquan Brisker and rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon, both starters, who were out with concussions.
Jackson has been having a resurgent season in coach Matt Eberflus' 4-3 defensive scheme. He entered Sunday's game with four interceptions, two forced fumbles and five passes defended on the season.
Things then went from bad to worse in the second half when receiver Darnell Mooney suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter. Mooney's injury could not be blamed on the playing surface. He was blocking for running back David Montgomery when an opponent appeared to roll up on his legs from behind. Mooney couldn't put any weight on his left leg as he was helped to the team locker room.
"For us, offensively, a guy like (Mooney) goes down, just a bright, vibrant guy in the huddle and, obviously, a big play maker," tight end Cole Kmet said. "So when you lose him it's tough, for sure."
The Bears provided no details or timetable for Jackson's or Mooney's returns. Neither player returned to the game.
"Those guys have been great in the locker room," head coach Matt Eberflus said. "They're great teammates. They really are encouraging to others and they really model the behavior we wish to see."
Is it the turf?: The injuries didn't stop there. Receiver Chase Claypool appeared to tweak something late in the game when he planted his feet and leaped into the air to try to pull in a high pass from quarterback Trevor Siemian. Claypool had to come out of the game and received some attention from team trainers in the medical tent.
After the game, Claypool would say only that he tweaked something.
"It could've been the turf, but I'm not sure," Claypool said. "We're just going to see how it feels."
Right tackle Riley Reiff left the game with a shoulder injury. Backup Larry Borom also briefly left the game with an apparent injury. The turf can't be blamed for all of the injuries, certainly not Mooney's and likely not Reiff's shoulder.
"It's a tough surface," linebacker Nicholas Morrow said. "Anytime you play on turf like this, I don't know, you see a lot of guys get hurt. It's not the best surface, they can definitely do more to help protect players."
Defense rolls over: From the midway point in the second quarter, the Bears allowed 24 unanswered points Sunday. With Jackson out and Brisker and Gordon ruled out before the game, they were playing short-handed on the back end.
Safety DeAndre Houston-Carson started for Brisker and cornerback Kindle Vildor started for Gordon. Cornerback Jaylon Jones and safety Elijah Hicks saw much more playing time than usual due to the injuries ahead of them.
"Now you've got to change some things you do because Eddie's a great player," Morrow said. "He has a lot of freedom because he can make plays. Now, you've got to tighten up a little bit because we don't have that type of player back there."
The Bears allowed 466 total yards and 22 first downs. Jets quarterback Mike White, making his first start of the season, threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns on 22-of-28 passing.

Warner Brothers must be plenty happy with Jason Fuchs and his screenplay for the currently in production Wonder Woman as the studio has just engaged him to write another DC Comics-based feature film for their expanding Cinematic Universe. Fuchs will be handling scripting chores for a film that will bring intergalactic bad body bounty hunter Lobo to the big screen.
Despite the fact that development on a Lobo film has been on and off at Warners over the years, Fuchs will be starting fresh with his take on the character. Previously in April 2012, Brad Peyton had signed on to direct and rewrite the screenplay draft that Don Payne had turned in.
It may be that Fuchs's fresh take will integrate the story within the shared universe that the studio is building. But at the height of the character's popularity in the 1990s, Lobo was a bit of a comedy figure, with adventures that featured slapstick, over-the-top violence. It is possible that Warners is looking for a film that could tonally be in the same vein as Fox's recent runaway hit Deadpool.
Warner's DC Comics Cinematic Universe takes its first big step with next weekend's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. The Fuchs-penned Wonder Woman film will be hitting theaters June 23 2017, with films featuring heroes like Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg and the entire Justice League to follow through 2020.

I have been incredibly busy this last 10 days. I was loaned another volunteer worker (who signed up with HelpX) from the Precipice. I picked him up on my way back from Bella Coola. I had him for only a week so have hardly had time to think.
Barry is from the Netherlands but has travelled the world with the navy. He already had some building and chainsaw experience so I put him to work building a porch.
First we had to clear trees. The big snowplough found it very tight last year and the new porch would make even less room in the yard. It was a shame to cut the trees down.
I do not have money to buy all the materials I will need to finish the porch, but we could make the main structure with logs and timber salvaged from the packrat palace. Barry is cutting grooves in the corner posts.
The days are frustratingly short, now. It was also quite cold in the mornings so difficult to get going. We were lucky to get five good working hours.
When the posts were up, we braced them temporarily and raised the main cross log on skids. If you tie one end of a rope to the building, wrap the other round the log twice and pull on it, the log acts as its own pulley and is easy to raise.
Two more posts have been added and some shorter beams are being placed. (That's me on the ladder.)
Next came rafters salvaged from the packrat palace. Being so high and well exposed to the weather since the metal has been removed, I figured they would not be too stinky.
Strapping came next.
I had no metal for the roof or boards for the walls, so an old army tarp was dragged over the top and tied to the strapping. It is not very pretty, and the tarp leaks a bit, but it will keep the snow off the porch. And when I can afford it, the roof will be easy to put on.

Fundamentals of business economics
The exam consists of a onsisting of an oral test
The purpose of the course is the study of the annual financial statements of companies in its conceptual foundations, ie the purpose assigned by the legislator and that attributable by those who use it; the role it can take in the context of external corporate communication, especially in non-large businesses where there are no other tools at the service of information to be provided to third parties; the links between corporate and legal aspects, which allow us to move from the letter of the law to its application to real cases; the structure and form (through the balance sheet and the income statement) and the substantial contents that make it possible to display certain values in the schedules; and finally of the uses that can be made of the document, first of all the balance sheet analysis by indices and flows. Ample space will then be given to the evaluation criteria of the balance sheet items, which find space in the explanatory note, from the point of view of the context in which they are inserted, verifying the link between items and amounts represented and the factual reality from which they derive, the result of discretion of the editor; but also from the point of view of the application of accounting standards, both national and international (where applicable); and finally from the point of view of taxation, which sets a series of evaluation criteria parallel to those dictated by the civil code but at the same time fundamental in the context of determining taxable income.
At the end of the course the student will have acquired:
1) Knowledge and understanding: acquire the basic notions on preparing the financial statements, understand the logic of the evaluation criteria
2) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: knowing how to read a balance sheet, knowing how to identify the main categories of values within the legal schemes.
3) Autonomy of judgment: knowing how to grasp certain signals (eg. Of crisis or alteration of the information provided) from the reading of the financial statements and the explanatory notes.
4) Learning skills: as this is an advanced course, various concepts relating to the role of the financial statements in the functioning of the company will be transmitted and relations with legal subjects such as commercial law, tax law and crisis law will be highlighted and insolvency
1. Object and purposes of the financial statements, in particular external communication
2. The principles of preparation of the financial statements and their meaning
3. The financial statements: balance sheet and income statement
4. The evaluation criteria and the role of the accounting principles
5. The explanatory note: purposes and contents
6. The management report: composition and purposes
7. The uses of the financial statements: analysis by indices and flows
8. Further uses of the budget: from management control to stakeholder decisions

Blue Miracle is a 2021 drama movie directed by Julio Quintana. The Blue Miracle cast incorporates Dennis Quaid, Raymond Cruz, Anthony Gonzalez, Jimmy Gonzales, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Fernanda Urrejola and Bruce McGill. The film was released on Netflix on May 27, 2021, and the story rotates around a guardian and his kids who partner up with a cleaned up boat captain for an opportunity to win a cash prize at a fishing tournament to save their orphanage. Is Blue Miracle dependent on a true story? Peruse ahead to find out about the Blue Miracle true story.
A Look At The Blue Miracle story
As indicated by Decider, Blue Miracle depends on the true story of Casa Hogar, young men home in Mexico that was hit hard by Hurricane Odile in 2014. The young men who had never fished entered the Bisbee's Black and Blue Tournament, the world's greatest fishing tournament. These young men got 385-pound marlin in the tournament and donated their winnings.
In 2014, the tournament came to host city of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico only five weeks after a storm unleashed destruction on the district. While trying to keep the tournament alive, and to help animate the local economy, Bisbee's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Fund made a Cabo Relief Fund. Notwithstanding, an anonymous donor vowed to pay the $5,000 passage fee for a team that consented to recruit a local boat as the fee was deferred off, the young men from Casa Hogar had the option to get into the contest. For their catch, the team won $258,325 in prize cash which was donated to the Casa Hogar association by them. The cash was utilized to redesign the offices and a young ladies' program was added.
Is Casa Hogar a real orphanage?
Indeed, Omar Venegas otherwise known as Papa Omar is the real-life director of the Casa Hogar orphanage. In a meeting with Netflix, Venegas said that he trusts the film will help bring issues to light for the real Casa Hogar. He added, "I need everybody to have the chance to see Casa Hogar and how God is getting along his work." Omar's real life was much more dramatic than appeared in the film. Not long after he discovered they would be in the tournament, he was harmed in a car accident.

Thursday, April 12 2018 is the date for the fourth Irish Travel Industry Trade Show, which returns to Hall 3 of RDS Main Hall Complex again next year – with a second travel trade show scheduled for Cork the following day.

The trade show will be open to members of the Irish travel trade from 2pm to 7pm and will again include a sponsored lunch for travel agents, meeting rooms for travel agent buying groups and a post-event barbecue with entertainment.
Maureen Ledwith, Director of Business Exhibitions and organiser of the show, said: "This year's show was the biggest travel trade show ever held in Ireland with over 140 exhibitors. The RDS offered top of the range facilities and the opportunity for the show to expand so it was the number one choice for 2018.

"As the demand for this type of trade show continues to grow, we are looking to the future and considering other possible locations for a sister show such as Cork. We would like to offer the travel trade in other regions the chance to meet with vital suppliers on their doorstep."

A new anthology show crops up nearly every month. True Detective, The Act, The Twilight Zone — the list goes on. There's logic to the deluge; in the chaotic ever-churning of a streaming service interface, anthology shows slake our subliminal thirst for original stories without asking us to abandon the trusted brand names. Sometimes the brand is the anthology itself, like the technophobic paranoia of Black Mirror, and sometimes it's the storyteller attached to the project, like whatever show you hit when you throw a dart at Ryan Murphy's Wikipedia page.
But none have quite blown up the whole system in favor of maximalist experimentation like Space Dandy, a 26-episode anime that holds some salient lessons for the anthology format.
On the surface, Space Dandy, a staple of Adult Swim's Toonami block five years ago, doesn't match the usual conception of an anthology. The major difference is Dandy, a pompadoured doofus and the protagonist (it's unclear whether his first name is, in fact, "Space"). Emboldened by garish overconfidence and a constant shortage of cash, Dandy hunts for undiscovered extraterrestrials with the help of a cat-like alien, a sentient robot vacuum, and a spaceship that builds the dashboard hula doll into a whole tacky aesthetic.
These fixtures are vehicles for sci-fi misadventures that hugely differ from one episode to the next, all at the whims of a vast, varied production crew gifted with staggering amounts of creative freedom. Each idea and concept differs so radically from the last that Space Dandy becomes a kind of anthology all its own.
Like Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone or the Ryan Murphy shows, Space Dandy launched on the cultural cachet of a well-known storyteller: Shinichiro Watanabe, master of the episodic format through shows like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. The down-on-their-luck crew scrounging for cash to the tunes of an eclectic soundtrack is well-trod territory for Watanabe, but the anime's success comes from the relative absence of his laid-back directorial voice — or of any unifying voice whatsoever. As "chief director," Watanabe even splits his duties with Shingo Natsume, who'd go on to run the first season of One-Punch Man with some noticeable Space Dandy staff overlap.
The show breaks its concept wide open in the very first episode, which concludes with the death of Dandy and his crew — as well as the death of their constant pursuer, a dapper gorilla doctor who pilots the ball-gagged head of the Statue of Liberty. Everyone reappears in the second episode as if nothing happened, and by the fourth, the series is exploring the outrageous extremes of zombie fiction, ending up as a sort of nature documentary that also details what happens when the undead collect their life insurance. Some episodes end with the characters abandoning their alien-hunting goal, if not forgetting it altogether; others pretty much abandon it from the start.
If you watch Space Dandy in order (which I can't totally recommend since early episodes are both the rockiest and most fixated on Dandy's lecherous tendencies; the eighth episode is an ideal jumping-on point), the series unravels into experimental art. Many episodes eschew the group dynamic entirely in favor of stranding Dandy as our POV character in some surreal locale; one standout episode is less a comedy than a somber meditation on the nature of death and what it means to continue living in the face of its total certainty. Another is an interstellar high school musical.
To some degree, these wild swings are sewn into the very fabric of the anthology show. The original Twilight Zone had comedic stories and grim parables, while Black Mirror's first series pivoted from beastiality to a gamified dystopian talent show. None, however, take things quite so far as Space Dandy, right down to the way each episode looks. Beyond differences in character design, where Dandy might take on slightly more cartoonish proportions one week, the aesthetics vary as widely as the hundreds of bizarre alien designs standing in the background. The series tackles grief, romance, rock bands, robot uprisings, and truly dense sci-fi with equal commitment; rendering it all in kaleidoscopic colors and psychedelic flourishes — except when it chooses to go minimalist or completely grayscale.
Dandy's thrills are in the unknown. What will they come up with next? What will it look like, given the conflicting styles of the show's collaborators? The ninth episode "Plants Are Living Things, Too, Baby" (they all end in "baby") drops Dandy, who's drawn a little ganglier and sans jacket, onto a planet inhabited by giant plant lifeforms spread across a painterly landscape. The melancholic 21st episode "A World with No Sadness, Baby" depicts a ruined city painted over with the rays of a perpetually setting sun. Amorphous creatures wander listlessly as they muse to themselves. An angelic being plays an acoustic guitar while perched atop ramshackle wiring. When Dandy is spotted by some flying monsters, the mournful strumming gives way to upbeat chase music.
Space Dandy doesn't beam from one brand-name creator, like Jordan Peele or Charlie Brooker. The series' brand is, essentially, the entirely anarchic lack of one, which ends up centering the work of its individual contributors. The inmates are running the asylum, and they're making anime. You learn what is singularly the work of Eunyoung Choi, of Yasuhiro Nakura, of Kiyotaka Oshiyama, who handled the gorgeous, meditative fishing episode "The Big Fish Is Huge, Baby" pretty much solo. Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop partners all contribute, as does frequent collaborator Sayo Yamamoto (Yuri on Ice), but others make their debuts in his creative orbit as newcomers getting their big breaks or old pros showing up for brief contributions. Kimiko Ueno pens a significant chunk of the series, and indeed, over half the episodes are either written or directed by women.
The result is an inversion of the TV anthology's cultivated anonymity, which tends to center recognizable guest stars above all else, the people we actually see onscreen. But with Space Dandy, you can't help but see the idiosyncrasies of these collaborators instead, the striking moments of individuality as amplified by the show's intentionally loose framework. Which isn't to say the anthology show needs to abandon its format entirely—part of what makes Space Dandy so wonderful and so distinctive is that it's animated, after all, and so open to more experimentation than a live-action series. But five years on, it's a stunning reminder of what's possible when shows shake off their expected norms and embrace a diversity of talent allowed to run wild, fostering an audience appreciation of form and style that's just as rewarding as seeing which actor will pop up next.
Subbed episodes of Space Dandy are currently streaming on Hulu

I'm sitting at my desk in Olympia answering email, mostly about the budget. Lots of people are writing in about different subjects, but all have the same theme – protect MY program. This is pretty interesting and useful data, but it's hard to make decisions based on it.
For example, I get a lot of mail about preserving "gifted education". The state sends out tens of millions in this category every year, with an equal amount going to every district based on student population. State funding makes up about 15% of what is spent in this area every year, so 85% of the money is coming from local sources, mostly your local levies. The state budget line item is about $30 million per year, or about 0.3% of annual state school budgets. There are many other programs that distribute money the same way – evenly based on student count.
Ever think about why we don't just combine all of these small items into one single pot?

Your child is unique, and so is their brain.
The first years of a child's life are the most crucial for their future development. The early years are the foundation for lifelong learning, especially the development of cognitive and social abilities. From an early age we want to help shape the extraordinary person they will become.
Your child is unique, and so is their brain.
The first 5 years of life are crucial to development and because the brain is a muscle, good development requires constant mental exercise.
The role of our early years team is to get the two halves of your child's brain to reach their full potential by getting them to work in partnership.
A combination of good nutrition, constant love, and the ability to learn in the early years leads children to live happier and healthier lives. This can result in a more successful adulthood and even give the next generation a better start to life.

Comparisonitis holds you back"
August 17, 2022
Comparisonitis makes you unhappyWe singles, who are virtuosos at beating ourselves up, do much of that self-torture with comparisonitis.
Comparisonitis is "a condition that exists when you make comparisons that are unreasonable, when you make too many comparisons, or when you make them too often," says the book The 10 Dumbest Mistakes Smart People Make and How to Avoid Them.
I firmly believe readers of Inspire-O-Gram are smart people, and that's how I treat you. But we're all guilty of comparisonitis, including me.
This month's feature article examines that nasty habit, with some practical ways to overcome it. Hey, we have enough things trying to drag us down. We don't need to be our own enemy too.
So take a look at this short study of comparisonitis.
You be youI could search the world over
but I never would find
anybody like you;
you're one of a kind.
Yes, you are unique,
You're a gem, a jewel, a pearl of great price,
We don't need more clones
So treasure the pleasure
You're a bud, a bloom, a mysterious rose.
~ Jack Zavada, www.inspiration-for-singles.com, 2022 ~
If you like these newsletters, you'll absolutely LOVE this book!Common sense. Proven by experience. Always in line with the Bible.

No, there's no poetry in Hope for Hurting Singles, but you will find the kind of lessons author Jack Zavada picked up while tackling the emotional roadblocks all singles face.
But this is not an autobiography. Instead, it's a how-to manual you can turn to when you're battling:
"Don't let the reviews on Amazon fool you," Jack said. "One reader was angry because the book didn't guarantee she would get married. I couldn't make that promise to anyone!"
To read the entire first chapter on loneliness FR'EE, go here.
In spite of inflation, Hope for Hurting Singles is still $10.99in paperback and $3.99 for the Kindle edition. For the outlay of a mega-burger combo meal, you'll gain years in spiritual maturity without adding an ounce—or a wrinkle!
Get your copy today. There's no other book like Hope for Hurting
August QOTM: What is it about?For August's Quote of the Month, we turn to Craig D. Lounsbrough, a Christian counselor and ordained minister serving in Colorado:
~ Craig D. Lounsbrough ~
The world wants us to compare ourselves to others, and when we feel we're lacking, it's quick to try to sell us something to make up the difference. But God didn't create us to be knock-offs, like a counterfeit pretending to be the real thing.
You are the real thing—the real you! God wants you to measure your worth not by your looks, accomplishments, or paycheck, but by the massive love he has for you. God thinks you're groovy!
Doesn't it stand to reason that the Supreme Being of the universe would also have the best taste? Sure it does. He knows something special when he sees it, and that's how he feels
about you. Next time you look in the mirror, remind yourself of that.
Another of my blockhead mistakes for you to avoid!This newsletter is worth its weight in pixels just for the mistakes I warn you about so you can dodge them in your own life!
This one is a doozy, but I wasn't alone then, and millions of singles are still guilty of this stupidity today.
While it's not a complicated action to take, the remedy to this problem will make such a difference in your life that you'll give yourself virtual kicks in the keister (or real ones) for not doing it sooner.
Make sure you read the entire article on how to avoid Jack's blockhead mistake.
Closing thoughts on shills and thrillsI was excited. My uncle and aunt had stopped by to take my brother and me to the circus with their children. It was the late 1950s, I was about seven years old, and I had never been to a live circus before.
Looking back, it was kind of a small, sad circus. The woman who sold us tickets later showed up as one of the acrobats. But in the days of black and white TV, it was a big deal. As we sat in the bleachers waiting for the show to start, a man came along selling paper boxes of popcorn. "There's a prize in every box!" He shouted.
Within a minute or two, a man in the bleachers held up his box of popcorn and yelled, "Hey, I won a transistor radio!" He held up the tiny radio for all to see. Shortly after that, a woman dug into her box and said, "I won a wristwatch! A wristwatch!" She waved it around.
My little cousins and I sat with our mouths open, awestruck. My uncle Bud, who had served in the U.S. Navy during WW II, was wise to the ways of the world. "Those people with the radio and watch are shills," he told us. "They work for the circus. They're in cahoots with the guy selling the popcorn. The prizes in the other boxes are worthless trinkets."
Enlightenment descended on us kids like dew on the lotus. My aunt Helen passed me a big, brown paper grocery bag full of popcorn she had popped at home. "Here, have some popcorn," she said with a laugh.
No prize, but plenty of love.
The moral of this story is that shills are still around today, from celebrity spokesmodels to political pundits. Learn to spot the shills. I've found it helps to ask yourself, "What's in it for them?"
Just how thrilling is Christianity, Jack?Now we go from shills to thrills— the unexpected thrills of living the Christian life.
If you don't think Christianity's exciting, you're not doing it right. First, think about what Jesus did for you. You don't have to work your way into heaven, like people in other faiths think they do. Jesus did everything you need on the cross to earn you eternal life with him. He paid your sin-de'bt in full.
Second, any time you want, you can talk directly to the Creator of the entire universe! You think that's not a thrill? What's more, he cares and he listens. No voicemail, no form letters, no replies from surrogates. You, single friend, are an adopted child of the Living God.
Third, what awaits you is so colossal, even the Bible couldn't find words to describe it. Our teensy brains would explode if we knew how wonderful heaven and the New Earth will be. That thrills me.
Fourth, you want a makes-your-hair-stand-on-end thrill? Try witnessing to somebody about why they should accept Jesus as their Savior. That makes zip lining look like an old ladies' tea party.
Fifth, the greatest book ever written, the Bible, can give you Rock-solid advice on any problem you have. Its principles are wise and timeless. That should thrill your socks off.
Finally (for now), you have a family of millions of fellow believers, The Church, all over the world. Jesus is coming back for us, and every day it gets closer. How's that for thrilling?
Whew! I love being an enthusiastic Christian.

South Korea: Green Hydrogen BASF New Business Partners with G-Philos for Power-to-Gas Projects
Under the MOU signed between BASF New Business (BNB) and the South Korean based firm G-Philos, BNB will supply Nas batteries to G-Philos till 2022 as well as support the firm in the development of the Power Conversion Systems business for Nas batteries.
Related Vendors
Yongin/South Korea – BASF New Business (BNB), a wholly owned subsidiary of the German chemical company BASF, and the leading Korean P2G system company G-Philos have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to cooperate in P2G projects globally.
Up to 2022, BNB will supply Nas batteries that can provide a total of 19.2 MWh of energy to G-Philos for P2G projects. BNB will support G-Philos in further P2G projects and in the development of business with Power Conversion Systems (PCS) for Nas batteries in South Korea as well as in the global market. Through the collaboration, the two companies expect synergy effects in the field of P2G systems for green hydrogen production.
Green hydrogen production from renewable energies, such as solar, wind and hydro, without CO2 emissions has been drawing ever-more global attention in recent years. In South Korea, the Green New Deal comprises plans to invest 61 billion dollars in projects, including renewable energy and hydrogen, as a part of South Korea's policy to transform into a low-carbon society.
P2G technologies will be one of the key elements of this plan. South Korea is expanding its renewable energy supply and clean hydrogen production in a similar manner to the E.U., which recently announced its own Hydrogen Strategy. With the recently signed MOU, BNB and G-Philos are now joining forces to support the expansion of green hydrogen production from renewable energy.
BNB distributes Nas batteries produced by NGK Insulators. Nas batteries are high-energy, long-duration sodium-sulfur batteries designed for stationary energy storage. With their capability to discharge for 4–8 hours, Nas batteries are ideally suited for applications such as renewable power stabilisation and integration into the grid. In order to use the electrical energy stored in the battery, a power conversion system (PCS) is needed.
G-Philos has developed a suitable PCS for a 200 kW Nas battery system. The battery and the PCS have already been commissioned in a P2G project implemented by G-Philos in collaboration with Korea Midland Power (Komipo) at Sangmyung Wind Farm (21 MW), Jeju Island, South Korea. In this case, the Nas battery serves as an energy buffer between wind turbines and electrolysers to ensure stable hydrogen production from surplus wind power despite the fluctuating nature of wind. G-Philos can now supply PCS products for the Nas battery systems ranging from 200 kW up to 800 kW.
Gawoo Park, CEO of G-Philos, said: "In order to stably produce green hydrogen while accommodating the variability of renewable energy, the Nas battery is expected to play an important role in securing system operation safety and reliable long-term operation as an energy buffer. G-Philos will keep focusing on commercialising green hydrogen production through various P2G projects."
BNB's Director of E-Power Management, Frank Prechtl, said: "Green hydrogen production is an upcoming market and a promising application for Nas batteries. With G-Philos, we now have a strong and competent partner to develop this opportunity into a sizeable business."

The Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z had a brief run from 1985 to 1990 and breathed life into a model that was losing its prominence as an exciting sports car. To me its appearance is distinctly associated with an era and the cartoon M.A.S.K., but ultimately for Chevy fans it looked better than a Mustang GT.
So dear readers, Do you like the Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z?
Vote and give us your take in the comments section. Like my high school history teacher always told me, "There are no wrong answers."
My take? Yes,. This is partially based on M.A.S.K.

With technological literacy, there are many advantages available. Early disclosure to technology can help kids strengthen the skills they can use in well-paying jobs in the future.
Learners of different levels can work together on various projects and come up with solutions for major problems. A good team shows its effect when everyone shares their ideas, is willing to learn, is respectful and cooperative, and has the same goal. Teachers teach kids the value of teamwork by giving many presentations and projects to work on. Anywhere in the world, you go, there are people with whom you will interact, and coordinating and working together pacifically will help achieve many purposes. In the same way, STEM courses in India incorporate the same in kids when students come together to work on futuristic inventions.
Your children will require to put out their ideas and speak what they think in a way that the other entity understands. The main factor of success in today's world is communication.

- •Depressive symptoms among multicultural adolescents slightly has increased over time.
- •Higher ego-resilience levels were associated with fewer depressive symptoms.
- •Social support was inversely correlated with depression
- •Social support's moderating effect between ego-resilience and depression was not observed.
- •Intervention programs are needed to strengthen ego-resilience and social support for multicultural adolescents.
Depressive symptoms among adolescents are a major concern for increased risk of adverse health condition outcomes later in life. Specifically, previous studies have reported that multicultural adolescents experience more depressive symptoms than non-multicultural ones. Using the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey, this study examined the relationships between ego-resilience, social support, and depression among multicultural adolescents in South Korea, as well as the moderating effect of social support on the association between ego-resilience and depression.
Design and methods
A total of 1500 multicultural adolescents were included in the analyses, where generalized estimating equation models were employed.
Depression scores increased slightly from 2012 to 2015. Higher levels of ego-resilience, family support, and friend support were associated with lower levels of depression, while teacher support was not a significant predictor. The moderating effect of friends and family support on the association between ego-resilience and depression was not statistically significant.
To reduce the level of depression among multicultural adolescents, future research should develop interventions that enhance ego-resilience ability, as well as necessary social systems that strengthen family and friend support.
Practice implications
Supportive interventions, such as enhancing ego-resilience to reduce depression should be provided to multicultural adolescents. It is recommended to include family and friends to develop effective intervention programs for multicultural adolescents who are suffering from depression.
