I understand the feelings of the people who voted in favour of the Brexit. They are Europe's Americans. The situation of the UK and Europe is in many ways the inverse of Canada and the U.S. And I would not vote 'yes' to a union of Canada and the U.S.
Staying Human in the Machine Age: An Interview With Douglas Rushkoff
Andrew O'Keefe, Singularity Hub, 2016/06/27
This is one of the better lines I've read today (applies equally to the internet and to Brexit): "What those of us unversed in Marxist theory at the time didn't realize was if you get rid of government you create a very fertile soil for the unbridled growth of corporations." Rushkoff, of course, is talking about what happened to the world of the internet he talked about in Cyberia. "Cyberia lay the philosophical foundation for the internet as an opportunity for a new kind of liberation. Rushkoff argued that the web could generate a new renaissance by birthing a technological civilization grounded in ancient spiritual truths. But a different story emerged."
Remix culture and education
Steve Wheeler, Learning with 'e's, 2016/06/27
This post defines 'remix culture' and what it means to education. It is a follow-up to an earlier piece on digital literacies in remix culture. "Remixing is the act of taking previously created works or artefacts and adapting them in some way," writes Steve Wheeler. I woukld have used the word 'other' rather than 'previously created' because items found in nature can also be part of a remix. And as Wheeler says, even though some schools may see it as undesirable, "Remixing is a creative process. It takes imagination to adapt an existing piece of art or music into something new or apply it in a completely different context."
Next Play for LinkedIn - an ePortfolio in every classroom
Kathryn Chang Barker, LinkedIn, 2016/06/24
I think you can view this article on LinkedIn without signing into LinkedIn - if not, please let me know. Kathryn Chang Barker writes, "LinkedIn can and should be in every secondary and university classroom in the world, but it needs to add one more tool – an ePortfolio." I have no doubts about the benefit of an ePortfolio - or, morewidely construed, a Personal Learning Record - but does it have to be on LinkedIn? That said, the appeal for Microsoft has to be undeniable. "Already Sony is working on an education and testing platform powered by blockchain. Already Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg have produced personalized learning systems with algorithms. Already machine learning is managing our curriculum and careers. This is a chance for LinkedIn and Microsoft to create an innovative space in the middle of these innovations."
21st Century Credentials: Telling the Story of the Whole Student
Cali Morrison, WCET, 2016/06/24
One of the criticisms of traditional testing and credentials is that they represent only a narrow part of a person's learning. This post summarizes a discussion by Ryan Craig, managing partner of University Ventures, who made the following points (quoted):
The result is an emerging picture of credentials that are at one more all-encompassing and more up-to-date. "It will take radical shifts in all of our systems – the alphabet soup of linked (or sometimes not) software that we use to track students fiscally, academically, and out into their time as alumni.È
Making Sense of MOOCs: New UNESCO-COL guide now available
Mariana Patru, Venkataraman Balaji, Commonwealth of Learning, 2016/06/24
From the intro: "The Guide is designed to raise general awareness amongst policy makers in developing countries as to how Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) might address their concerns and priorities, particularly in terms of access to affordable quality higher education and preparation of secondary school leavers for academic as well as vocational education and training. With very few exceptions, many of the reports on MOOCs already published do not refer to the interest and experience of developing countries, although we are witnessing important initiatives in more and more countries around the world." Here's the direct link (102 page PDF).
Coursera pilots a new course format
Coursera Blog, 2016/06/24
Coursera is launching a new format today. You will recognize it as "what we had before MOOCs". Here it is: "we will begin piloting a few courses in which all content is available only to learners who have purchased the course, either directly or by applying for and receiving financial aid." It may be time to rededicate myself toward creating a genuinely open-only course framework, based to a large degree on the work I did with gRSShopper. Of course, that will require funding....
Examining ethical and privacy issues surrounding learning analytics
Tony Bates, online learning and distance education resources, 2016/06/23
Tony Bates reviews Drachsler, H. et al. (2016) Is Privacy a Show-stopper for Learning Analytics? A Review of Current Issues and Their Solutions Learning Analytics Review. The problem stems when individuals who provide data "are unable to specify who has access to the data, and for what purpose, and may not be confident that the changes to the education system which result from learning analytics will be desirable." My own response has been to focus on personal analytics, but this has been a hard sell. As Bates notes, a European Commission project called LACE (Learning Analytics Community Exchange). has proposed an eight-point framework (really badly) named DELICATE - it's described in Drachsler, H. and Greller, W. (2016) Privacy and Learning Analytics – its a DELICATE issue. From my perspective, it seems to me that a complex framework like DELICATE is full of loopholes, and therefore, no real protection for individuals.
Work Changes Culture
Simon Terry, 2016/06/23
Nothing is more true than this. "Work changes culture, not words.... Creating new value requires people to do more than communicate. They must work in new ways." Simon Terry is talking about the future of work, but I'm thinking of work more generically, in the sense of taking action rather than merely thinking about it or talking about it. How many times have I met people who want to lead change without actually creating anything, who want to tell people how to do things without actually doing things themselves?
Of OER and Free Riders
David Wiley, iterating toward openness, 2016/06/23
David Annand writes, "Incentives need to discourage 'free-riders'. Otherwise, a valid competitive strategy for institutions... would be to wait and merely use without cost the OER resources produced by others." Heather Ross asks, "Is the idea of 'free-riders' really a concern in OER?" David Wiley replies with an emphatic "no" and then, more usefully, takes Annand to task for his presumed model of OER production. "If our only model for creating the OER necessary to replace traditional textbooks is to spend $250k of government or philanthropic funding for each and every course offered at each and every university, there is literally no path from here to there. We need to enable and facilitate alternative development models if our vision of universal OER adoption is to become a reality. (It's no secret that I believe that these future models must be significantly more distributed and stigmergic than current models.)" Quite so.
Part 2: Draining the Semantic Swamp of "Personalized Learning" : A View from Silicon Valley
Larry Cuban, Larry Cuban on School Reform, Classroom Practice, 2016/06/23
Continuing from Part One, covered here earlier this week, Larry Cuban continues his exploration of "personalized learning spectrum," as anchored in the tangled history of school reform (he says) and now subject to more recent developments. In a nutshell, "those efficiency-minded school reformers, filled with optimism about the power of new technologies to 'transform' teaching and learning, have appropriated the language of 'whole child' Progressives."
10 amazing ways Blockchain could be used in education
Donald Clark, Donald Clark Plan B, 2016/06/22
These are all ways blockchain could be used in education (though a lot of detail would have to be added) but I'm not sure I agree with the context. Introducing the piece Donald Clark says he created a Napster like system for learning resources in 2001 but "the public sector organisations just didn't like innovation and stuck to their institutional silos." He predicts a similar reaction to blockchain. "The biggest obstacle to its use is cultural. Education is a slow learner and very slow adopter. Despite the obvious advantages, it will be slow to adapt this technology." Why would he expect these new systems to work within traditional institutions? I did the same sort of thing in 2001, but by not waiting for institutional approval helped create the first MOOC. It is only after an idea is demonstrated that it will change culture and be adopted by institutions. The same is true for business and enterprise software. It has nothing to do with education or the public sector, and everything to do with large organizations and culture in general. Image: Cable Green.
Open Innovation and the Creation of Commons
Katja Mayer, Creative Commons, 2016/06/22
Interesting article. You can probably skim the first five paragraphs, but slow down when you get to this: "Today, a broader conceptual framework for open innovation is embedded in an integrated approach to openness. It is a vital element of the open movement and should not be taken out of this context. Open innovation is transcending the boundaries of traditional knowledge production and fosters cross-fertilization of knowledge. It can serve both as a trigger for change towards openness and a cross-connector of multiple segments of the open movement."
How to Succeed at Work When Your Boss Doesn't Respect You

Sounds like a plan. Something everybody could use to more or less a degree.
Machine Learning for Designers
Patrick Hebron, O'Reilly, 2016/06/22
Long post that introduces machine learning for designers. It requires a (free) O'Reilly login (sorry). People already expert in machine learning won't find anything new but I think it's worth the effort if you don't have background in the field.
"Conventional programming languages can be thought of as systems that are always correct about mundane things like concrete mathematical operations. Machine learning algorithms, on the other hand, can be thought of as systems that are often correct about more complicated things like identifying human faces in an image." There's a good set of recognition examples that illustrate this. It looks at biological models and deep learning, then discusses processing different types of inputs. Some of the tasks described include creating dialogue, feature discovery, designing, feedback loops, and more. It also looks at open source machine learning toolkits (TensorFlow, Torch, Caffe, cuDNN, Theano, Scikit-learn, Shogun, Spark MLlib, and Deeplearning4j) and machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) platforms such as IBM Watson, Amazon Machine Learning, Google Prediction API, Microsoft Azure, BigML, and ClarifAI.
Call for applications: Become a Digital Scholar
Press Release, Scholar, 2016/06/22
Course announcement from a relatively new provider for 'applications' to "an open access course to support the development of scalable digital learning." The course is free but certification costs extra. I read this as an an announcement for Scholar, a "digital learning environment that models effective learning and knowledge development in complex settings." According to their materials, "in Scholar people focus on co-constructing knowledge (by solving problems, building a case study, developing an implementation plan) that is relevant and applicable to their work." Probably the diagram makes it most clear. What do you think, should I take the course?
Daniels: You make your luck
Joanne Jacobs, 2016/06/22
Mitch Daniels says "that outside of the extremes it's the luck you make not the luck of the world that determines your fate." So summarized Andrew Rotham. Or as Joanne Jacobs says, "except for 'tragically bad luck,' it rarely 'decides a life's outcome.'" I think that on that basis we would have to define "tragically bad luck" as "not being born rich." Jacobs also quotes Barack Obama, speaking at Harvard: "Yes, you've worked hard, but you've also been lucky. That's a pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and don't realize they've been lucky." I think Obama's take is more correct. As Rotham says, "Daniels' argument confuses what's possible with what's probable." Jacobs concludes, "for many born in poverty, economic mobility is a longshot." I have no illusion that education by itself will change this. For those not born rich, education is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for prosperity.
Education in Africa
Graham Brown-Martin, Medium, 2016/06/21
Long, detailed and damning investigation of Bridge International Academies (BIA) on the African continent. Graham Brown-Martin details the corporate and philanthropic connections underpinning the organization. BIA is essentially a commercial enterprise based on providing education to African children (planned to expand to 10 million children within 10 years). This article challenges the claim that BIA offers value for the service it provides, and notes "the United Nations who, in an unprecedented statement made public on 9 June 2016, expressed concerns about the UK 'funding of low-fee, private and informal schools run by for-profit business enterprises'." According to the article, buildings are substandard, teachers are underqualified and underpaid, and academic gains are not proven. At a certain point, people give up on a system that takes wealth out of an economy but puts nothing back in.
The War on Stupid People
David H. Freedman, The Atlantic, 2016/06/21
Good argument against the idea of the 'meritocracy'. As argued, "We must stop glorifying intelligence and treating our society as a playground for the smart minority. We should instead begin shaping our economy, our schools, even our culture with an eye to the abilities and needs of the majority, and to the full range of human capacity." I'm not sure a thing such as intelligence exists per se. Insofar as it does exist I don't regard it as some sort of inherent property but rather far more influenced by the circumstances of one's life and upbringing; and even if it were inherent, I see it as no more grounds for elitism than any other accidental quality of birth.
Elon Musk Says There's a 'One in Billions' Chance Reality Is Not a Simulation
Jason Koebler, Motherboard, 2016/06/21
When you say "one in a billion chance" what do you mean? If you're Rudolf Carnap, you mean that there are one billion logical possibilities, and this is one of them. But then any state of affairs is one in a billion, and you've said nothing. If you're Hans Reichenbach, you mean that of the last billion occurrences, this has happened only once. But we've only had one occurrence, so again this is meaningless. Or if you're Frank Ramsey, it means you would bet one billion dollars to get one billion and one dollars back if you're right (and lose it all if you're wrong). But there's nobody to take this bet, so again the statement is meaningless. You can't talk meaningfully about the probability of reality. And that (not this refutation) is why Elon Musk is wrong.
Canada's Draft Open Government Plan — The Promise and Problems Reviewed
David Eaves, eaves.ca, 2016/06/22
David Eaves posts an interesting and fairly detailed analysis and review of Canada's open data plan. I'm in accord with most of it but there are some things that stand out to me:
- Eaves opposes a "national network" of open data users because "There is nothing that will hold these people together. People don't come together to create open data standards, they come together to solve a problem." If we focus only on solving problems, then we favour incumbents, at the expense of new uses which could be enabled by creating affordances.
- On a "songle search window" Eaves argues "The point to this work is the assumption that the main problem to access is that things can't be found. So far, however, I'd say that's an assumption..." Yes, fair enough. But that's not an argument against it, it's an argument against it being the sole strategy.
- Finally, Eaves says, "Please don't call it "open" science. Science, by definition, is open. If others can't see the results or have enough information to replicate the experiment, then it isn't science." I'd love to believe that, but it's not true. A lot of science, including federal government science, is done for internal and commercial clients behind closed door. I'd love to see this be more open, but defining it as "non-science" accomplishes nothing.
Draining The Semantic Swamp of "Personalized Learning"–A View from Silicon Valley (Part 1)
Larry Cuban, Larry Cuban on School Reform, Classroom Practice, 2016/06/20
There is a spectrum of approaches to 'personalized learning', writes Larry Cuban. "At one end of the continuum are teacher-centered lessons and programs within the traditional age-graded school using behavioral approaches... At the other end of the continuum are student-centered lessons and programs that seek student agency." These might be terms the behaviourist and ccognitivist approaches respectively, or the traditional and progressive approaches. But within the progressive camp there is yet another division, he writes. "One wing of these early progressives were pedagogical pioneers advocating project-based learning, student-centered activities, and connections to the world outside of the classroom, (while) another wing of the same movement were efficiency-minded, 'administrative progressives'" who "counted and measured everything in schools and classrooms (and) reduced complex skills and knowledge to small chunks that students could learn and practice." In other words, "Thorndike trumped Dewey," says Cuban, and we're looking at the same divisions today. Image: Edward Thorndike, Wikipedia.
Leading in a time of tumultuous change: Our VUCAST world
Eric McNulty, O'Reilly, 2016/06/21
I'm getting tired of reading that we're living in a changing world (or as O'Reilly has it, "volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous"). I think we all know that things are changing. It's nothing Toffler didn't see 40 years ago. I'm far more interested in promoting the changes we want and reshaping the changes we don't. For example, do we really want a caste system, as suggested by Google's Schmidt and Cohen? No? Then what are we going to do about it? I admit that I'm an utter failure as a manifesto writer, but at least I try (a Cyberspace Charter of Rights, The People's Manifesto). I don't expect we'll all come together on a vision for the future. But I think we can commit to working against a dystopia, can't we? Rather than simply embracing it as do the technocrats?
Towards the new caste system: looking back at The New Digital Age
Bryan Alexander, 2016/06/21
Bryan Alexander offers a lukewarm review for this forward-looking book by Google's Jared Cohen and Eric Schmidt, The New Digital Age. In a way, he says, the book is more about politics than technology. "Put Google and the Department of State together and you have a glimpse of emerging and aspirational American hyperpower: confident, thoroughly global, combining virtual technology with soft and very hard power," he writes. "Or that's the vision offered by these two authors." Alexander also cites Julian Assange, who writes that the book is "is a startlingly clear and provocative blueprint for technocratic imperialism." He continues, "This book is a balefully seminal work in which neither author has the language to see, much less to express, the titanic centralizing evil they are constructing."
Is Big Data Still a Thing? (The 2016 Big Data Landscape)
Matt Turck, 2016/06/21
I'm linking to this mostly so I have a reference to the image, which is the latest landscape for big data. If you're working in data and analytics you're working in a very crowded field. Specialized Big Data applications have been popping up in pretty much any vertical, from healthcare (notably in genomics and drug research) to finance to fashion to law enforcement (watch Scott Crouch, CEO of Mark43 here).
Copyright-free material edging out Canadian educational texts
Nigel Hunt, CBC, 2016/06/20
We may finally have reached the tipping point with respect to open access educational content (it's not the sort of thing I can put on my resumé but I derive tremendous satisfaction from this). "A few years ago, Emond Publishing sold more than $1 million worth of books to high schools annually. Now, said president Paul Emond, it's dropped to about $100,000. 'That's what falling off a cliff in the publishing business looks like,' he said." The publishers claim that schools are just copying copies of the books. But what's really happening is that they are using open access materials and depending on 'fair dealing' for the rest. The writers, meanwhile, are concerned about the lack of access to Canadian materials. "Their institutions are insisting that they use only free material, and a lot of free material is coming from outside of Canada." Quite so. And I've always said that an open access approach to learning content should be supported by direct public contracts to authors to support Canadian content and other social objectives.
The DAO: An Analysis of the Fallout
Michael del Castillo, Coindesk, 2016/06/20
Not long ago I linked to and described the DAO, a bockchain-based corporation employing a system called Ethereum to create 'smart contracts' to crowd-source startup funding. This week the system was hacked barely weeks after being launched, with millions of 'ethers' worth $US 50 million drained from its accounts. Today a second attack drained even more money. More. Now, maybe - maybe - the transactions can be rolled back. "A 'soft fork' in the code that would essentially blacklist the address with the 3.6m ether in question; a 'hard fork' that would actually return the funds to their state prior to the attack; or do nothing and let the system sort itself out." If this works, the overall result could actually be good for Ethereum - you can't profit from hacking if it can simply be rolled back? In the short term, though, the value of Ethereum currency is collapsing. Related: transcript of an interview with the alleged attacker.
How your brain constructs reality
Various authors, TED, 2016/06/20
You should not of course accept what you see in a TED talk uncritically as fact, because TED is after all selling a mythology along with its often interesting talks. having said that, it's still worth taking an afternoon and catching up with this playlist of six talks all focused on the way the brain creates knowledge. Donald Hoffman, for example, "is trying to answer a big question: Do we experience the world as it really is ... or as we need it to be?" Keith Barry, as well, "shows us how our brains can fool our bodies — in a trick that works via podcast too." There's more.

The students at the school for troubled kids have been left in limbo since the end of termPT3M10S 620 349
Teachers have warned that the NSW government freeze on TAFE fees will not be enough to curb plummeting enrolments in the state's public vocational education provider.
Fees have been frozen at their 2015 levels in a bid to lure back students to the struggling institution.
Since 2012, 83,000 fewer students have enrolled in TAFE NSW campuses, while fees in some courses have surged as much as seven times 2013 levels.

The move comes just three months after NSW Skills Minister John Barilaro refused to acknowledge the effect of fee hikes on enrolments at a NSW parliamentary inquiry into vocational education.
"It's like being in a morgue," one TAFE teacher wrote in a submission to the inquiry.
NSW TAFE teachers association president Phil Chadwick said that the government was trying to backtrack now that it had realised "it had made a very big mistake".

"It is a good start but it is a bandaid solution," Mr Chadwick said. "The high fees were the reason we saw the decrease in enrolments but the students are still going to have to pay them."
Courses in areas such as aged care surged nearly four times in price between $570 in 2014 and $2300 in 2015, while diplomas in information technology and electrical engineering saw similar rises.
Former TAFE student Patrick Wright told Fairfax Media he dropped out of his library technicians course after it quadrupled in price. "I just couldn't justify the cost," the Cronulla local said last year.

Enmore design student Minta Furness echoed his disappointment at the time.
"The debt is just too great. It went up from $1200 last year to $12,000 this year, and you never know if you are going to be able to pay it back with the income from design," the 20-year-old said.
"Last year we had six classes of 15 students. This year [2015] we had one class of 10. I was shocked to see just how many people weren't there."

In a bid to stop empty classrooms from multiplying, fees will now be frozen at those 2015 levels.
Greens MP John Kaye said that the shift would stop the provider from "bleeding badly".
"If it turned students away last year then it will turn them away this year," he said.
TAFE teachers remain concerned about the much-maligned Department of Education's $576 million IT system's ability to cope with enrolments.
Last year, former TAFE managing director Pam Christie was forced to apologise for enrolment delays caused by the system.
"The problems with the system are still enormous," said Mr Chadwick. "[NSW Skills] Minister [John] Barilaro has promised support but we are yet to see it at the coalface."
"Support staff are being made redundant and teachers are being forced to enrol students," he said.
While more students may enrol this year, they will have 27 fewer buildings to go to according to NSW cabinet documents leaked in September.
One of them, Dapto TAFE just outside of Wollongong, was once home to 700 students, It is due to be vacated this week, according to Shellharbour Labor MP Anna Watson.
Others, including Epping and Chullora will soon follow, with some students forced to move into the beleaguered private vocational education sector.
A spokesman for TAFE NSW said that at this stage, 2016 enrolments were proceeding smoothly.
"As part of developing the TAFE NSW strategic asset management plan we are considering how Dapto campus will be used," he said.

Reporter: Sally Sara
First Published: 05/08/2007
SALLY SARA, PRESENTER: A decade ago, they were still a novelty in the equine industry. Now, horse physiotherapists are in big demand. The physios are treating all sorts of horses, from backyard ponies to multimillion-dollar gallopers.
The University of Queensland is one of only two universities in the world offering a masters course in animal physiotherapy. Students from Europe, Asia and the US are now coming to Australia to sharpen their skills.
Somewhere in the darkness, are some of the fastest horses in the country. These animals get up to speeds of almost 60km/h before most racing fans even get out of bed.
But behind many of these gallopers is a gentle pair of hands.
Kate Sagar is an animal physiotherapist.
KATE SAGAR, ANIMAL PHYSIOTHERAPIST: Good boy. Stand up. Easy... When I was studying physio in second-year university, we had to go on placements to hospitals and I was always late because I was riding horses. And there was an English physio there who always picked up on my constant chatter about horses and she said to me, "You should be a horse physiotherapist."
And I just looked to the man in the sky and said, "Thank you!" So, second year of my four-year degree, I realised that the horses were for me.
So, he did well to win his last race.
COLIN LITTLE, HORSE TRAINER: Yeah, he done really well.
KATE SAGAR: Especially since he has had a bit of a sore back...
SALLY SARA: Kate Sagar's patients include some of the biggest names on four legs in the racing industry. She is one of a small band of physiotherapists, who specialise in treating horses.
KATE SAGAR: Horses get lots of back problems. Racing horses, because of the speed they go at, get lots of problems in their limbs, they get lots of problems with their knees and fetlocks. And, secondary to that, because they are trying to compensate and get off a joint, they will throw it up in their back, so they get a lot of secondary back soreness and, then, they get a lot of problems with their pelvis as well because they have to, from a standing start, their lunge... just that propulsion.
SALLY SARA: She first trained as a human physiotherapist and, then, went on to the UK to learn how to use her skills on animals.
KATE SAGAR: Normal muscle has a certain feel, and you'll feel pain, tightness, spasm, and the horse will react - it'll whip around or kick out at you and they certainly let you know when it hurts, don't worry.
COLIN LITTLE: That's alright. What's going on?
SALLY SARA: She has been treating horses at Colin Little's Caulfield stables for more than 16 years. When she arrived, horse physios were a bit of an unknown quantity, but Colin Little took a chance.
COLIN LITTLE: Well, Sally, over the years, there's been a lot of people coming to stables and chiropractors and bone crackers and we're... trainers are actually fairly gullible and will try anything at all. And one day this card turned up in the mail from this young lady that she was actually a physio, so I gave her a ring and it turned out that she was a trained physio. There was not many people in those days, a long time ago, that were trained up, so we decided to give her a bit of a try.
SALLY SARA: It was an act of trust which has paid off. Now physiotherapy has become an integral part of the pre-race preparation.
COLIN LITTLE: She treats El Segundo, my good horse, that has a bit of what we'd call a bit of a weak back, and he needs constant maintenance. And Blutigeroo is a horse we've had some luck with, and he actually won the BMW in Sydney, Group 1 race. And we actually flew Kate up to Sydney just to tune him up just before the race, so, I think a lot of that horse's improvement is due to Kate too.
SALLY SARA: A persistent injury can be the difference between success and failure, and this is big business. Most of these horses are worth more than a house. Some are worth millions.
COLIN LITTLE: Tens of millions really. There's some suggestion that El Segundo is worth $2 or $3 million and a couple of little yearling fillies that have just walked past me - they were purchased for a couple of hundred thousand on the Gold Coast this year. So, no, there's certainly million of dollars tied up and it is not hard to get a horse that's worth $1 million.
SALLY SARA: It's no wonder that horse physios are now in big demand to keep the horses performing at their peak. For Kate Sagar, it's a thrill to keep an eye on the results when some of her top patients are racing.
KATE SAGAR: Especially if it's a big race, definitely put it on, and, certainly, if you've been working on a horse you build quite a rapport with them, 'cause, often, you see them each week. Sometimes it's just a preventative physio treatment and because they are good, they go fast and they often get sore and, so, when you see them win it, it's a real buzz.
NARELLE STUBBS, LECTURER: We had two horses, a left and a right horse...
SALLY SARA: Now, there is a new generation of aspiring animal physiotherapists. This Masters course at the University of Queensland at Gatton is one of only two in the world. The young students are learning the hands-on challenges of equine physio.
NARELLE STUBBS, LECTURER: You can see the filler inside the shoes on the left and right sticking out the back, the pads. So, this is what this is, it's not part of a frog, it's actually part of the pad that is filling in here, which acts as a little bit of shock absorber.
Over the years, we've graduated nearly up to 15 international students. We've had many from all over the world including Malta, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the USA, as well as Hong Kong.
SALLY SARA: All of these students have already trained as human physios. What do your human patient say when they find out you're a horse physio as well?
SUE VACHER, STUDENT: Some of them say that's why I press so hard, they think I am working on a horse! (Laughs) Yeah, but most of them are just really interested, really intrigued to find out how I do that. Yeah, and, so, it is something interesting the talk about.
SALLY SARA: Sue Vacher is from Kingaroy. Many of the students hope to set up their own practices and split their time between humans and horses.
SUE VACHER: I think there are a lot of horses out there that people have written off or something 'cause they're not performing, that are actually in pain, or have some kind of imbalances going on that people just don't realise that that's why they are not performing so well. So, I think we've got a real big role to play in improving performance and also improving, yeah, how happy horses are to do things.
SALLY SARA: The students are learning the long and the short of equine anatomy. This course as the University of Queensland has only been going for five years, but it has quickly built a strong international reputation as a centre for excellence.
ARLENE WHITE, OVERSEAS STUDENT: You can give humans a lot of exercises to do, and they don't do them but if you give them one, five or 20 exercises for their horse, they make sure they do everything. So, it is easier to get their horses better than it is to get them better.
SALLY SARA: And why is that?
ARLENE WHITE: I think that they feel guilty if they don't do it for their animal, but they are willing to sacrifice themselves.
SALLY SARA: Narelle Stubbs is one of the lecturers for the course and is also the official physiotherapist for the horses and riders of the Australian equestrian team. She is recognised as one of the best in the world. Her diagnostic skills are highly sought-after.
NARELLE STUBBS: Saddle position and saddle motion, so that's a saddle issue.
You're basically doing what we'd call a kinematic or biomechanical analysis, just like if you had a runner and you got them on a treadmill and put little dots on them to look how their pelvis moves and their limbs move, so it's really a movement analysis.
JUDY CAWDELL-SMITH, COORDINATOR, EQUINE & LIVESTOCK HEALTH, UQ: And he's never been really tender here?
HORSE TRAINER: He was, yeah.
SALLY SARA: The physiotherapists work on referrals from vets. There is often a lot of team work and detective work. The animals can only give limited clues to what is wrong.
JUDY CAWDELL-SMITH: Well, I guess you just have to be more analytical. You interpret things differently. I suppose at least they can't lie you, whether it is intentional or unintentional. You just have to be very observant.
SALLY SARA: This dressage horse has been suffering from ongoing back and leg problems. It is a delicate balance between treating the soreness without stirring up any further trouble.
NARELLE STUBBS: The dressage horse is more like a body builder, we're the gymnast. They got to really control their body and flexibility, and it is quite amazing, and that's why relatively very few make it all the way to the top because there is a lot of stress on their body, and that includes other sports as well, like eventing and show jumping.
SALLY SARA: It can take more than five years to train a horse for international competition. That means many of the dressage horses are up to 10 years old before they hit the peak of their career. It is a bit like trying to prepare a 40- or 50-year-old to compete in the Olympics. This horse was imported from Germany and is worth about a quarter of a million dollars.
JENNY GERHKE, DRESSAGE COMPETITOR: Oh, and more, particularly in Europe, it is not uncommon for people to pay up to millions of euro for a horse, which is staggering really, but it's such a big sport over there. It's their yacht equivalent, I guess. She just looked like she was falling a little bit on that hind...
SALLY SARA: Just as most humans are left- or right-handed, many horses are often stronger and more flexible on one side. The challenge for the dressage rider is to make the horse look symmetrical.
JENNY GERHKE: Every horse is a little uneven, or it would be more accurate to say they're one-sided, like we're right- or left-handed, they are the same and, so, through dressage training and the physiotherapy and the whole holistic treatments of the horse, you make them less one-sided.
NARELLE STUBBS: So, I have a look at the iliac crests...
SALLY SARA: But it's not just the horse which comes under scrutiny. Sometimes the problems experienced by the rider can be passed on and accentuated by the horse.
NARELLE STUBBS: If the rider has a problem with their back or pelvis or any part of their body, they will load their weight different and give the different aides or pressures on the horse, and the horse will respond to that and often try to compensate and try to keep straight and end up with a problem, so very much horse/rider assessment independently, but then also together.
SALLY SARA: This horse has already won a national novice title and Jenny Gerhke says when horse and rider are in sync, it feels unbeatable.
JENNY GERHKE: I think it feels a little bit like Leonardo DiCaprio up the front of the Titanic. It's fantastic and as I said before, there's the 10 per cent that's fantastic makes the 90 per cent, the other 90 per cent worthwhile. Like flying, you know, and the horses, as you turn, would weigh 800 kilos and to have that much horse and that much power willingly work with you and dancing through a dressage test is a fantastic high.
SALLY SARA: Horse physiotherapists are still finding their place in the industry, but their specialist knowledge is already proving to be invaluable.
JUDY CAWDELL-SMITH: When you consider that these guys have already done a four-year degree in human physiotherapy and have really concentrated on a particular area, whereas veterinarians do a five-year degree and cover every species, they obviously can't get that in-depth knowledge in that space of time.
SALLY SARA: The physiotherapists and vets are working together, but it is still early days.
JUDY CAWDELL-SMITH: I believe physios are really only just coming into this field, and I think over the next few years they'll become much more accepted as a benefit to veterinarians when they want to rehabilitate animals, so I think as people get used to the idea of using physiotherapists, just as you do in humans, I think they will be of huge benefit.
SALLY SARA: There will only be a future for animal physiotherapists if people are prepared to pay for it. Narelle Stubbs is often asked why she made the switch from treating humans to horses, but she says she hasn't looked back.
NARELLE STUBBS: It is a question that is often asked with certain countries or areas, whether... should you be spending the time and money on children, but I suppose, being an animal lover, that is our interest and animal welfare really comes into that.
SALLY SARA: The healing hand of the animal physiotherapists have plenty of work ahead of them.

UK-based Hermes Fund Managers has launched the Emerging Asia UCITS fund under the management of Jonathan Pines.
Hermes, a roughly £25 billion money manager, said the Asia ex-Japan fund will focus on China, Korea, Taiwan and India and be available to discretionary managers, multi-manager fund selectors and wealth managers in the UK.
Pines, part of the firm's six-person emerging markets team, has led the contrarian, value-biased, high conviction Emerging Asia strategy since its inception in December 2009, during which period it has returned an annualized 15%. Over the past year, the strategy has returned 31%, beating its benchmark—the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index—by 11%.
Said Pines, in a statement: "Growth in the Emerging Asia region continues to outpace that of the developed world. However it is the structural and rapid change that accompanies this growth, rather than the growth itself that is the source of the stock selection opportunity. China is a case in point–recently, rapidly changing expectations about the structure and resilience of its economy have depressed valuations. Some Chinese stocks have been hit harder than they deserve to have been. We are finding many stock-picking opportunities in China, particularly among quality cyclical companies that are strong enough to weather the current challenging environment."
The fund charges a 1% management fee and requires a minimum investment of £1,000.

Free YouView box for BT customers, well apart from the installation and delivery cost
BT is offering new customers who sign up to its Infinity Broadband package a free YouView set top box worth £299.
With no subscription fee, customers will be able to enjoy more than 100 digital TV and Radio stations and access seven days of catch-up TV from the likes of BBC, ITV, 4OD and Demand5 via the YouView Humax box.
In addition customers will also be able to watch more than 5,000 programmes and movies on-demand through BT Access, while 500GB of hard drive space should be able to store 300 hours of SD TV or up to 125 hours of HD TV, according to BT.
New BT customers can pre-register now, though they won't get the free YouView box until 26 October. There's also a caveat in customers must sign up to a minimum 12-month term, pay a £49 activation charge and a £6.95 delivery charge.
Should you find yourself outside of a BT Infinity-enabled area, customers will still be able to take advantage of the free YouView box offer by subscribing to a TV Essential package which starts at £4 a month.
Existing BT customers can also upgrade to receive a free YouView box by shelling out the same activation and delivery costs as new customers. However, they must be approaching the end of their current contract in order to do so.
BT's offer rivals that of TalkTalk's which again offers a free YouView set top box when customers sign up to TalkTalk Plus at £14.50 a month with a £9.50 per month line rental. This includes unlimited downloads and calls to other UK landlines.

US: A-B adds Vermont vodka to US spirits distribution stable
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 12 June 2007
Anheuser-Busch has added to its spirits portfolio in the US, with a vodka distribution deal in the north-east of the country.
The brewer, which last week said it would distribute Margaritaville Tequila in the state of Massachusetts, confirmed yesterday (11 June) that it will become the master distributor in Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and other select markets for three vodka brands owned by Vermont Spirits.
The deal, covering Vermont Gold, Vermont Gold Vintage and Vermont White, begins this month with select A-B wholesalers in New England handling the brands, initially focusing on licensed states. While Vermont Spirits will continue to oversee marketing for the vodkas, the deal allows for potential limited equity holding in the future, A-B said.
The company also said that it is looking to test a limited portfolio of premium spirits in targeted markets in the north-east, highlighting the Margaritaville agreement made earlier this month.
"Vermont Spirits is a great-tasting, high-end vodka distilled from pure, natural resources," said Dave Peacock, vice president of business operations for A-B. "Products like these ... vodkas allow us to compete in this growing category in a limited way, while gaining a deeper understanding of distributing a liquor-based product through our wholesaler system."
