Kezia is a member of the following Committees:
Kezia is a member of the following Cross-Party Groups:
In the spirit of consensus, I welcome what the cabinet secretary has just said. Could he comment on the specific issue of giving care leavers a right to remain in a particular school? The collateral damage that results from having to move school often means that they cannot achieve the results that they need to achieve.
It is not entirely to do with tax. In fact, I would say that it is everything to do with the ethos, the value that is placed on leadership and the role that teachers play in schools. For example, teachers in Finland spend less time in the classroom than teachers anywhere else in the world because they are constantly developing their skills and sharing knowledge about how to tackle the problems that we are talking about today. It is not a question of taxation; if Liz Smith would like to see further evidence of that, I invite her to go and see what I saw. I know that the cabinet secretary has a lot of similar views, in that regard.
Again, I would have liked to have heard more from Liz Smith on greater diversity in schools. I imagine that she was talking about free schools, and perhaps she has sympathy with Michael Gove's agenda. Nobody in the Labour Party could have any sympathy with that agenda, which is why we are not in a position to support her motion.
I have some sympathy with Liz Smith on the issue of strong leadership in schools and I welcome the SNP Government's work on that with its college of leadership. I would be willing to debate whether there is a need for more autonomy for headteachers, but let us look at school budgets. Schools are already in charge of their budgets, but the pressures on those budgets mean that there is very little flexibility for them to be spent in different ways. Liz Smith need look only at Highland Council for an example of that. It is talking about merging schools, sacking teachers and having to reduce options as a consequence of some of this Government's financial decisions. It is a very complex picture.
I would have liked to have heard more today about the cost of school. Anne McTaggart touched on that and used her great sense of humour when she did so. There is no doubt that 70 per cent of parents say that they have struggled with the cost of school.
I was grateful that Gordon MacDonald mentioned the access to education fund, but there are problems with that. If he looks at the detail of the criteria, he will see that the fund cannot be used to subsidise costs that should be paid for by a local authority. The fund exists to fund new initiatives, not to replace funding that is being cut by local authorities. He should look at the detail of that. A maximum of 300 schools—just 8.5 per cent of all schools—can access that fund, because of the nature of the criteria. That is far from getting to the point of the problem that we face.
I would have liked to have had the opportunity to say more about care leavers, because there is a problem in respect of moving care leavers from one school to another, especially when they are facing exams. Many people who met Alex earlier today in the garden lobby would have heard about his first-hand experience of that.
I welcome the opportunity to debate education inequality. It is the first time we have done so in the chamber since January 2012; we have debated golf more regularly than we have debated it. That is something on which we should all reflect.
I have heard today that the Tories believe that inequality is the fault of the SNP's failing education system, and that the SNP blames the Tories for inequality because of the welfare cuts. Scottish Labour thinks that they are both right.
I start by paying tribute to all the teachers, support staff and education staff in our schools across the country. Their life mission is to share knowledge and to ensure that kids have the best possible start in life. They have that public service duty to do what they can to close the education gap that we are talking about today, and they go above and beyond the call of duty all the time. I know that from having two parents who were teachers.
My mum later went into local authority work in an education department and, later in her career, built schools and nurseries. I remember her coming home one day quite upset about the extent of the child poverty challenges in Dundee, where she was involved in building a nursery. The child poverty in that particular part of Dundee was so extreme that it was common for the majority of kids to turn up hungry, tired and dirty in the morning. The mission for that nursery school was first to feed and wash the kids, and to let them sleep. Only after that were the teachers in a position to teach the kids and give them the opportunity to learn. My mum was struggling with the concept of putting fast and powerful washing machines into nurseries as standard equipment because it meant that there was a presumption that the kids needed that facility. What a damning indictment of the level of child poverty in this country that is.
That story demonstrates how the gap in education equality begins. I agree with the SNP that that cannot simply be addressed between the times when nursery or school gates open and close. The cabinet secretary is right to talk about the damage that the UK Government's welfare policy is causing, but we are not powerless to act. We will therefore support the SNP amendment tonight, and will do so in the spirit of critical friendship.
I turn to the Conservative motion. I was sorry that we did not hear more from Liz Smith about parental choice, greater diversity in schools and strong leadership. That was partly because she had to work so hard to defend her Government's record on child poverty and the damage that her Government is doing with its welfare agenda. I would have liked to have heard more about those issues because I would like a better understanding of what she means when she raises them.
Let us take parental choice. Liz Smith said that the schools around the world that do best at education emphasise diversity in choice. I disagree with that and offer the example of Finland. I was there earlier this year. There is no such thing as choice in the education system there because all the schools are at the same standard, and there is no suggestion that anyone would need to choose a school, because every school has the same merit and value.
I very much agree with much of what Kevin Stewart has said. I wonder whether he has read the Joseph Rowntree Foundation report on tackling the attainment gap in our schools, and whether he agrees with the report that we should support targeted funding and allocate additional resources to schools and nurseries.
Will the member give way?
Will the cabinet secretary give way?
I have a breakdown here of the employability fund figures. Only 861 women over the age of 25 have been able to access the fund—less than 5 per cent of the total number. The number of women who have received support in Perth, East Lothian and Aberdeenshire can be counted on one hand. How, therefore, can the Government claim success in getting women back to work when so few have received support from the employability fund?
To ask the Scottish Government how the employability fund supports women into work. (S4O-03616)
I welcome the minister's remarks with regard to the devolution of equalities. Does she support the devolution of the ability to legislate for gender quotas? If so, would she use that power?
I congratulate Christina McKelvie on securing the debate, and I note her long-term commitment to the issue. Like her, I have supported votes at 16 for a long time.
There is a need for much wider political and electoral reform on a number of issues. I am grateful to Christina McKelvie for her recent support for a campaign that I am involved in—women 50:50—which is about ensuring that all future sessions of this Parliament are balanced 50:50. At least four other members who are now in the chamber have shown their support, and I would encourage my colleagues to do so, too. The moment is now.
On the issue of votes at 16, I cannot believe, looking back, that it was ever viewed as controversial. As Christina McKelvie touched on, it seems the normal and right thing to do to give young people a voice. Christina McKelvie reflected on some of her experiences of the referendum campaign. I remember doing one street stall in the east end of Edinburgh. At about 3 o'clock, the school tipped out and we were overtaken with secondary 5 and 6 pupils from Portobello high school, desperate to ask some hard questions about the currency—"Ah, but what about X, Y and Z?"—so much so that we blocked the road. A few people on Twitter highlighted the health and safety hazards that we had created, and it all got a bit dramatic for a second.
I participated in dozens of other hustings. Without a doubt, the most invigorating were those for young people. For example, I took part in hustings that Boroughmuir high school and James Gillespie's high school hosted. Some 700 S5 and S6 pupils were in one place grilling me and Sarah Beattie-Smith from the yes campaign on the cases for and against independence.
Saying that the best questions came from young people has the danger of sounding patronising, but that is true. I think that that was the case because young people are less likely to think about I, the individual, and are more likely to talk about we, the country, and what type of country we want to be. They have less political baggage and are more driven by the first principle of what can be done to make this country a better place.
I have not read the full report, but earlier this week I heard Professor Ailsa Henderson talking on "Scotland Tonight", I think, about the demographics in the referendum result. I am sure that I heard her say that, when research was done into who had read the most before they came to their conclusion on how they would vote, it was found that 16 and 17-year-olds were the most informed group. I think that the evidence from the University of Edinburgh was that those in the 16-to-17 age category had done the most homework.
So what now? We have a duty to keep the political engagement alive. There is a great danger that those people, who currently have a voice, will be excluded from next year's general election. I appreciate the sensitivities of a members' business debate, but I have no doubt that Christina McKelvie is calling on us and David Cameron to ensure that 16 and 17-year-olds have a vote in next year's general election. I support that call; indeed, I have written to David Cameron to ask for that to happen.
There is a reason for that. If a person voted no, as I did, they did so because they believe that the best way to make our country a more prosperous, equal and just place is by working together across these isles using the resources, hopes and ambitions of 63 million people. If a 16 or 17-year-old voted no, they are now relying on other people to vote for that vision. If a person voted yes, they will be angry and disappointed. I get that, but there is a great danger that they might be disenfranchised from the political process because they, too, are voiceless without a vote.
Therefore, I back 100 per cent what Christina McKelvie is arguing for. I fully support her campaign and hope that the message to Mr Cameron from the Parliament is loud and clear. We need to give 16 and 17-year-olds the vote next year.

To ask the Scottish Government how many applications to the Access to Education Fund it has received, how many were successful and how much has been awarded in grants.
To ask the First Minister how the Scottish Government will respond to Save the Children's Read On, Get On report on child literacy.
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications it received for disabled students' allowance and how many were successful in (a) 2011-12, (b) 2012-13 and (c) 2013-14.
Disabled students' allowance (DSA) is needs-led funding based on demand which helps support equality for individual students.
The following table shows the number of DSA applications received by the Student Awards Agency for Scotland and how many of them were successful in receiving funding.
DSA applications
DSA supported students
Notes: Any published statistics on DSA only look at figures created in September each year so will exclude applications for that academic year received after that point. Any published statistics on DSA only include full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students. The data provided in this question also includes part-time students and students supported under the Nursing and Midwifery Student Bursary scheme.
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications for disabled students' allowance were referred for an assessment and how many resulted in a payment in (a) 2011-12, (b) 2012-13 and (c) 2013-14.
All students applying for disabled students' allowance (DSA) for the first time must undergo a needs assessment by a qualified individual at an approved university or college recommending the type of support and equipment a student needs to undertake their course. The Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) will refer all new students for a needs assessment where a report is not already present with their DSA application.
The following table shows the number of students who were referred for a needs assessment by SAAS for the purposes of applying for DSA. The table also shows how many of these students were successful in receiving funding.
Students referred for a needs assessment
Supported students who were referred
Notes: Any published statistics on DSA only include full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students. The data provided in this question also includes part-time students and students supported under the Nursing and Midwifery Student Bursary scheme.
To ask the Scottish Government how the Employability Fund supports women into work.
To ask the Scottish Government what consultation it will undertake before deciding whether its publication, Higher Education Student Support in Scotland, should continue to have National Statistics accreditation.
The Higher Education Student Support in Scotland publication is now produced by the Student Award Agency for Scotland (SAAS).
SAAS contacted the UK Statistics Authority to confirm the retention of the National Statistics designation given responsibility for the publication was transferring from the Scottish Government to SAAS. The UK Statistics Authority confirmed the publication should retain its National Statistics designation.
It is, of course, the case that all National Statistics products are routinely assessed and, where appropriate, consulted upon.
To ask the Scottish Government for what reason it is in discussions with the UK Statistics Authority on the continued use of National Statistics accreditation for its publication, Higher Education Student Support in Scotland, and whether any other Scottish Government publications are subject to similar discussions.
The Higher Education Student Support in Scotland publication is now produced by the Student Awards Agency For Scotland (SAAS). Prior to 2014, the Scottish Government published the report. SAAS released the 2013-14 publication on 28 October 2014.
The publication was covered by the UK Statistics Authority assessment of Scottish Government Lifelong Learning statistics in December 2010 (Report No. 75) and designated as National Statistics.
SAAS contacted the UK Statistics Authority to confirm the retention of the National Statistics designation given responsibility for the publication was transferring from the Scottish Government to SAAS. The UK Statistics Authority confirmed the publication should retain its National Statistics designation.
There are no other publications whose National Statistics status is under discussion following transfer of the publication from the Scottish Government to another public body. The Scottish Government's Chief Statistician is responsible for ensuring that all Scottish Government statistical publications adhere to high professional standards required by the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. Most of the statistics produced and published by the Scottish Government are National Statistics. The UK Statistics Authority has an ongoing programme of assessment of statistics, and the Scottish Government works closely with them to ensure that National Statistics standards are met.
To ask the Scottish Government how the (a) strength and (b) toxicity of new psychoactive substances is measured.
The number and type of new psychoactive substances available, including their individual strengths and toxicity, is constantly growing and changing. This makes it difficult to identify levels and risks of use. However, work is underway to develop a national set of standards to guide toxicology.
To ask the Scottish Government whether it uses a central recording system to monitor the patterns of the use of new psychoactive substances, and what the reason is for its position on this matter.
The Scottish Government continues to update its data collection tools to include new psychoactive substances (NPS). We have commissioned a review of evidence and data available on NPS and this will inform improvements in collection and research. An integrated drug and alcohol information system is also under development.
To ask the Scottish Government what drug (a) testing and (b) monitoring groups it funds.
The Scottish Government provides resources to Alcohol and Drug Partnerships across Scotland to create relevant networks available at the local level. Where appropriate, this includes monitoring groups.
The Scottish Government engages with some drug trends monitoring groups, including regularly with the Edinburgh drug trends monitoring group and the Greater Glasgow and Clyde drug trends monitoring group. These groups look at emerging drug trends, their issues and challenges, and develop action plans to improve local responses.

Where does the snow go?
Quebec City's recipe for success: After trucks discharge, a plow, excavator, and blower work in concert to pile snow up to 72 feet high to make the most of dump space. Images: Quebec City Public Works Department
Trucks unload in a designated discharge area (bottom photo), while a blower piles the snow bank higher at the other end of the site (top). Snow that's been collected by loaders is piled separately and used as an abutment to prevent avalanches, and previously blown snow is added on top by the heavy-duty snowblower without fear of damage from foreign objects.
Rectangular site shape
For maximum efficiency, Quebec City uses a rectangular site design with two discharge areas. Signalmen direct fully loaded trucks to one area to discharge before exiting the dump, while a blower in the other discharge area processes previous loads. Both sides work from the outside of the site toward the middle.
Decantation basins at dump sites retain water runoff and sediment until it can be analyzed and removed in spring. Only the lightest 10% of sediment from melted snow ends up in the bottom of the basin. About 90% stays on the dump site, where it's cleaned of all debris once the snow has melted.
AN AVERAGE WINTER IN QUEBEC CITYSnowfall (1991-2011): 10 feet
Service area: 2,700 lane miles
Number of dump sites: 14
Total storage capacity: 12.7 million cubic yards
Amount collected: 7.2 million cubic yards
Snow and ice control budget: $60 million
Amount related to dump operations: $1.7 million (2.8%)
After 30 years with the Quebec City Public Works Department, Engineer Eric Langlois has literally written the book on snow and ice removal. It's a subject you can't avoid in one of the world's snowiest cities, where all planning centers around a six-month winter.
Langlois wrote the city's snow removal policy, which defines level of service (including anticipated delays), prioritizes routes, and assigns material — salt, sand, or gravel — based on traffic volume. Dump sites are a crucial part of keeping operations running smoothly.
As the population has grown, residential development has decreased the number of locations suitable for the noisy, unsightly task of dumping collected snow. Finding the ideal spot is a delicate balance. The site has to be far enough from residential areas to avoid noise complaints — as most of the dumping, shoveling, and snow-blowing happens at night — but close enough to be cost-effective. "Distance is the most important cost factor in choosing a dump site," says Langlois. "If it's too remote you'll need more trucks to keep it in constant operation, which means a bigger price tag."
Thus, most of Quebec City's dump sites are in flat, industrial zones near highways. They're typically surrounded by a dirt bank, and sometimes trees, to mitigate noise and make the bare site more attractive year-round.
Size is another important consideration. "Design for a larger capacity than you actually need, so the snow dump can be used for 20 years or more," says Langlois. "Try to anticipate factors such as population growth and unusually heavy snowfall."
Over the years, his team has optimized its 14 locations for more efficient use of space as well as equipment operator time, developing what Langlois considers the most effective snow dump design: a rectangular site with just the right combination of heavy equipment.
The city has always used bulldozers to pile the snow deposited by trucks. A Caterpillar 950G loader with plow channels snow into place while a Caterpillar 235C excavator equipped with an 8-cubic-yard bucket stacks it higher onto the pile. By adding heavy-duty snowblowers with 5-7,000 tons of blowing capacity per hour, crews can bank the snow up to 72 feet to maximize space — and process up to 125 truckloads every hour.
To prevent avalanches, operators maintain at least a 45-degree angle from the ground to the top of the snow bank. Abutments made from truck-loads of snow stabilize the pile, and new snow is blown over the top.
With the rectangular site design, operations are choreographed from back to front, and from outside in. The site is divided into two discharge zones, both working toward the middle (see diagram below). Trucks unload from one end and the snowblower processes discharged loads from the other.
Up to 250 trucks an hour arrive through one access point (some dumps have two access points and can process up to 500/hour), and are directed by one to four onsite signalmen, depending on dump site volume. Langlois explains their critical role, not only for traffic control, but also to keep the operation on budget. "It's very important to separate semi-trailers from 10- or 12-wheel trucks because they don't maneuver as easily and move more slowly. If the other trucks have to wait, the city pays more for lost time and the whole operation costs more."

Travelled from Valencia to Madrid on 28/8 by very fast train - see photo registering 300 kph!! Again, a great hotel right in the centre of the city. Did a myths and legends tour first night here - the skyline is stunning at sunset and it was fun to hear the "real stories" of Madrid! Yesterday we did a walking tour designed by Kizz - we caught the …

... and tasty- so nice to order a variety of different plates to share.
From here we headed to the bullring – just an outdoor photo shoot – the building is stunning built in 1929. Then it was on to pick up Meredith (Peter and Maria's daughter). Back to their place for some tea and a rest, but not for long as we had to make our way back to our B&B. Meandered through more plazas and streets with interesting historic buildings. It ...

Technology is rarely used, the teachers each have a laptop, with Windows XP (2001), but the kids don't have laptops or tablets and there is only one computer room in the whole school - with six computers! Even in math, there aren't any calculators! I swear that would still be better than the bloody touchscreen ones we had!
The learning itself is extremely old ...

... the Spanish do wave but tend to shout "Adios" or "Ciao" more often than "Hola",
Bizarrely, it actually felt rather rude; it had a sense of "We're glad to see the back of you!" But that could just be my paranoid tendencies. If you think about it, what the Spanish say actually makes more sense. If you are on a moving vehicle, then unless it is ploughing straight towards someone, you are actually leaving rather than ...

- Finally found hostel, rang bell and banged on door for 10 minutes. No answer. Rang the bell of other people in the building - got shouted at in Spanish. Contemplated camping out.

Editorial Reviews: SynopsisIntroverts are called and gifted by God. But many churches tend to be extroverted places where introverts are marginalized. Some Christians end up feeling like it's not as faithful to be an introvert. Adam McHugh shows how introverts can live and minister in ways consistent with their personalities. He explains how introverts and extroverts process information and approach relationships differently and how introverts can practice Christian spirituality in ways that fit who they are. With practical illustrations from church and parachurch contexts, McHugh offers ways for introverts to serve, lead, worship and even evangelize effectively. Introverts in the Church is essential reading for any introvert who has ever felt out of place, as well as for church leaders who want to make their churches more welcoming to introverts. Discover God's call and empowering to thrive as an introvert, for the sake of the church and kingdom. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Almost exactly four months ago, Hue Jackson, then the Raiders head coach, pulled off a midseason stunner with the acquisition of quarterback Carson Palmer. Now, Jackson finds himself as a member of Palmer's previous employer. Funny how the NFL works sometimes. According to various reports, the Bengals hired Jackson an assistant special teams/secondary coach on Friday. He'll reunite with Marvin Lewis, whom he worked under from 2004-06 as the team's receivers coach. It's an odd fit for Jackson, who's regarded around the league has one of the more creative offensive minds. Though, after his season-ending press conference with the Raiders, in which he basically threw everyone — but himself — under the bus, it's no surprise that he couldn't land a better gig elsewhere. He'll probably try to re-surface as a coordinator next offseason, but it has to be disappointing for Jackson, going from a young, up-and-coming head coach on the rise to settling for a menial low-level assistant job.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/17/14
A Mets person suggested to David Lennon of Newsday that top prospect Zack Wheeler will be in the Mets rotation before the All Star break. Certainly good news, and now it's up to Zack Wheeler to make it happen. When he was last seen in Triple-A Buffalo, Wheeler made only six starts and went 2-2 with a 3.27 ERA and 1.18 WHIP after posting solid numbers in Binghamton. In 33 innings pitched he walked 16 and struck out 33 batters. Wheeler needs a little more simmering, especially in the control and command department. He's gotten better in terms of an improved walk rate, but it's still too high and he needs to lower that before he faces real major leaguers who will just wait him out and launch his fastball over the wall. The good news about the move to Las Vegas is that because of the park effects, you get see what his numbers would translate like in the majors, so I'm looking forward to seeing that. One thing though… I find it interesting that on a cold day in mid-November, a Mets sour...

We got lost on Tottenham Court Road and couldn't find the restaurant so we called the Crazy Bear and got through to a really helpful lady called Daniella who stayed on the phone until we arrived at the restaurant. Our wine waiter was also really good. We both love thai food so the 10 course taster menu was brilliant

My fourth visit to this restaurant and my second on this deal. Excellent each time but particularly love the tasting menu experience, love that the food is selected for me and its such a good all round choice. The only thing I would say is the food comes out thick and fast and seems at times at bit rushed but this would not stop me from returning.

I dined here twice on the 10 course taster offer and had a great experience both times. We were so well looked after by staff who couldn't have done more for us, they slow down or speed up the service of the courses dependant on us and our request. I have a nut allergy and this was not a problem in the slightest-they adjusted my meals accordingly. The tables are a little snug which was more of a problem for my 6'3 partner than me but there was a lovely atmosphere, great food and lovely cocktails
((((( 14 November 2014 by Juliet Anderson from Reading
Lovely evening spent at the crazy bear in London. Staff very friendly and keen to help. Environment wonderful apart from toilets which are an experience( good) but slightly disorientating. Lots of glass and reflective surfaces not completely sure where you are but that's the fun of it. Food was great, lovely sharing menu. Certainly didn't go hungry. We went on a Wednesday which was half price champagne night so had a bottle with our meal. By the time we added drink etc on it was £45 a head. Reasonable for what we had. Would go again, may try the Beaconsfield one next time to compare. Only down side, we did have a large party behind us and the tables are quite close together so it was a bit noisy. But that was just luck.

The hotel couldn't have a better location and the service was excellent. This hotel will never be mistaken for a 5 star resort, but that is okay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are old and some of the furniture is showing some wear, yet the mattresses were newer and the room was very clean. If you put this room in the context of its extremely good value, location, and cleanliness I don't think you could do much better.

FFmpeg Is Returning To Ubuntu With 15.04 Release
While FFmpeg has been absent from recent releases of Ubuntu Linux due to the switch over to Libav, with Ubuntu 15.04 it will return. FFmpeg is back to being packaged inside Ubuntu 15.04 and version 2.4.3 is found within the Ubuntu Vivid universe archive as of yesterday. Libav forked from FFmpeg back in 2011. Libav was favored by the Debian multimedia team but there's been work for bringing FFmpeg back to Debian. FFmpeg/Libav are widely used audio/video codec libraries. The FFmpeg details inside Ubuntu can be found via Launchpad.
Security considerations for Enterprise Linux
To maintain an application infrastructure that meets continually expanding business demands, organizations need more than a maintenance and support contract. Organizations need a proven, scalable, reliable, and secure enterprise platform.
Run Linux on Android – part 2
If you want to make full use of Linux on your Android device, the best solutions require rooting it and unlocking its bootloader (see 'Rooting questions' section below). Whichever way you do it, this a major step as it will void your warranty and also runs a risk of 'soft-bricking' the device – although it can be made to work again if that happens. Another drawback is that unlocking the bootloader will factory-reset your phone and erase all its apps and data, so ensure that you make a backup beforehand.
More Radeon Driver Changes Queued For Linux 3.19
Just one week after the bulk of the Radeon DRM changes for Linux 3.19, another round of updates were submitted for DRM-Next. This time around there's AMD CI dynamic power management fixes, DPM fan control support for SI/CI to reduce fan noise, GPUVM multi-ring efficiency improvements, and cursor bug fixes. This new Radeon DRM Linux 3.19 pull request can be found via the dri-devel list.

Chris Brown + Karrueche Tran Are Crashing Cars Together Now, But Rihanna's Dad Still Loves Him
While Rihanna is on tour, Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have reunited, because that's what they always do. And this time, it did damage to something other than Tran's self-respect.
The duo were in a Mercedes that slammed into the back of another Mercedes. (Rich people have problems too, you guys.)
Rihanna + Miley Cyrus Want to Make Out
In a recent string of interviews, Miley Cyrus and Rihanna have acknowledged they'd enjoy sucking face with one another, an event that could generate enough collective wolf whistles to be heard from space.
Demi Lovato Performs With Cher Lloyd + Covers Rihanna's 'Stay' Live [Video]

When you're a celebrity, it's good to have someone around who can get you the things you want when you want them. (Of course, we mean innocent things like only brown M&Ms and your favorite brand of mineral water.)
But if you're one of many celebrities -- Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Zayn Malik of One Direction, to name of few -- who are "clients" of a man by the name of Leon "Starino" Anderson, you may also be able to get the hook up on other requests. Like, you know, hookers and blow.

Alleged Drug Dealer to Rihanna, Justin Bieber + One Direction's Zayn Malik Exposed in Tabloid
Drugs in Hollywood aren't shocking, but it's still shocking to hear that some of your favorites may be accused of partaking in them when they maintain relatively squeaky clean reputations. Case in point: An alleged drug dealer to the stars has been exposed in a U.K. tabloid sting, and Rihanna, Justin Bieber and One Direction's Zayn Malik and Liam Payne were listed as his associates.

Iraq 10 Years Later
Ten years after the war began in Iraq, UN Dispatch looks at the current situation.
Iran bans Afghan and Iraqi Refugees from Moving to Regions for Employment
Iran's National Organization for Educational Testing has banned Afghans, Iraqis and, in some instances, other foreign nationals from residing in certain provinces and enrolling in certain courses of study. The new ban affects Afghan refugees most severely and seems to apply uniformly to immigrants with and without documentation.
Iraq War Facts and Figures
President Obama is expected to announce the formal end of the American war in Iraq in a speech tomorrow. As we commemorate the end of a war, consider some of these facts and figures about the war in Iraq. Some of these numbers may shock you.
Why We Need an International Treaty on Private Military Contractors
Private military contractors are poised to take an increasingly large role in Iraq, but serious questions remain about how they will be held responsible for their actions. One obvious answer is an international convention.
Researchers: At Least 137,000 Civilians Dead In Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan
A new estimate by researchers at Brown University claims that at least 137,000 civilians have died during tens years of war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. This likely under-counts the true human cost of war.
Violence at Camp Ashraf in Iraq
Camp Ashraf is an Iranian refugee camp in Iraq. In January 2009, responsibility for security of the camp was turned over from Americans to Iraqi forces. Since then, it has experienced several violent raids by Iraqi military forces.
Middle East; Iraq; Ebola
Middle East: During the last 48 hours of the continued ceasefire, humanitarian workers have delivered food to hundreds of thousands of people, repaired water and sanitation infrastructure, re-stocked medical supplies, and some of the 520,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes. However, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator remarked the scale of needs remains "unprecedented in the Gaza Strip."
Middle East; Ebola; South Sudan
Middle East: At today's informal session of the General Assembly on Gaza the SG remarked that the most recent ceasefire has held since yesterday at 8 a.m. local time. He noted that a durable ceasefire is necessary and UN shelters must continue to remain safe zones. The SG thanked UN staff in Gaza and will fly the UN flag at half-mast tomorrow in memory of those who died in the conflict.
Middle East; Ebola; Syria
Middle East: The SG commended Israeli and Palestinian parties for committing to a 72-hour ceasefire that took place at 8 a.m. local time today. He urges all parties to abide by the ceasefire and commence peace talks in Cairo to address underlying issues and agree on a durable ceasefire to sustainably stop the violence. The UN lends its full support toward these efforts.
Middle East; Iraq; Afghanistan
Middle East: The SG condemned yesterday's shelling outside of an UNRWA school in Rafah that killed at least 10 Palestinian civilians. The SG stated that the attack violated international humanitarian law and UN shelters must continue to be safe zones and not combat zones.
SG; Security Council; Middle East
SG: Last night the SG spoke at a joint press conference with the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica where he repeated his call for an unconditional and extendable humanitarian ceasefire. Speaking about yesterday's shelling of a UN shelter he said: "Nothing – nothing – justifies such horror" and demanded "that all parties immediately respect UN premises".
SG; Ukraine; Middle East
SG: The SG met with President Ortega yesterday in Nicaragua where he visited a wind farm and praised the country's commitment to renewable energy. The SG arrived in Costa Rica today where he is expected to lecture about "Costa Rica and the United Nations: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century".

Aurora watching in the UK?
The recent heightened level of solar activity culminated on 7 January with an explosion of billions of tonnes of electrically charged plasma from the Sun, an event known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).
Hurtling towards Earth at about a million miles an hour, this CME was expected to arrive at the Earth's magnetosphere on the morning of 9 January. The impact had the potential to spark a geomagnetic storm of sufficient intensity to bring a display of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, to the skies over the UK.
Coinciding with BBC Two's "Stargazing Live" broadcasts, the possibility of auroral displays over the UK led to the AuroraWatch team in the Department of Physics being inundated with media enquiries and public interest.
The AuroraWatch UK service, which provides members of the public with free alerts when auroral displays are likely to occur, attracted over 5,000 new subscribers in 24 hours, with another 20,000 new users opting to get updates via Facebook and Twitter.
However, the CME slowed down markedly on its journey through interplanetary space and the orientation of the magnetic field within it was not favourable for it to magnetically couple into the Earth's magnetosphere. Consequently, aurorae were not pushed sufficiently far south from their usual location at the edge of the Arctic circle to be seen from the UK.
Professor Farideh Honary, who leads the AuroraWatch UK project, said "This is a perfect demonstration of the challenges space scientists face when forecasting the impact of space weather on our planet. A chain of events need to occur for solar activity to disturb our planet's space environment sufficiently enough for the northern lights to be driven down to the UK from their usual location at the edge of the Arctic. It doesn't happen often and is difficult to predict with any certainty more than an hour or so in advance, but our AuroraWatch alerts can tip the odds in favour of UK aurora hunters."
Media interest included: Sky News, online, The Mirror, online, The Telegraph, online, The Guardian, online, The Independent, online and BBC and LBC radio.
