It is supposed to look like the image in the attached file Donkey and It is easily possible to make it organized with the names Griffindor and Hufflepuff because they have the same number of characters so it just takes trial and error for proper spacing. The problem is I can't get it to look organized if the team names are of a different length, which is what I am curious about.
As for the assignment, I've already been told its good enough and have turned it in since its due at the end of the period, but I really wanted to know if there was a more efficient way that could work with varying string lengths.
- Code: Select all
print("\nHouse\t\tGoals\t\tSnitch\t\tGoals per Minute")
print(" -----\t\t-----\t\t------\t\t----------------")
print(team1, "\t", format(score1, "4d"), "\t\t 1\t\t", format(gpm1, "15.2f"))
print(team2, "\t", format(score2, "4d"), "\t\t 0\t\t", format(gpm2, "15.2f"))
print("\nTotal goals for the game:", end=" ")
print("Average time between goals:", end=" ")
print(format(agpm, ".2f"))
If you want to see all of the source code it is in the quidditch_statistcs.txt file and isn't very long. The part referencing about is the last bit after the last comment. I'm also using Python ver 3.3.2 in case anyone needed to know that.

Elisha Linder, one of the founding fathers of maritime archaeology in Israel and a senior lecturer at the University of Haifa, died on June 8, a few days before his 85th birthday.
Linder was responsible for initiating the establishment of the Association for Underwater Research in Israel, as well as the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies and the department of Maritime Civilizations at the University of Haifa. He directed excavations at nearly all of the underwater sites in Israel—Acre, Atlit, Caesarea, Ashdod, Shavei Tzion and the Coral Reef—as well as some abroad.
One of his most important projects surfaced in 1985 20 miles south of Haifa, off the shores of Kibbutz Ma'agen Micha'el, where he had lived since 1955. A member of the kibbutz happened upon an ancient shipwreck while diving in the shallow waters just off the coast and alerted the authorities. A team, headed by Linder, undertook the study, excavation, conservation and reconstruction of the ship—an extremely well preserved merchantman from around 400 B.C.—which filled an important gap in knowledge about seafaring of that time period.a The reconstructed hull of the ship was put on display at the Hecht Museum at the University of Haifa.
After studying Biblical history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Linder earned his master's degree at Columbia University and then completed his doctorate at Brandeis University. In the course of his career, he was awarded several prizes in recognition of his contributions to underwater archaeology, including Italy's Franco Papo prize and the Dioscuri prize, as well as the Israel and Bible Lands Percia Schimmel Award from the Israel Museum.

Justified, FX, 7.30pm
WHILE perhaps it lacks the profile and/or buzz of other American cable dramas such as Game of Thrones or Sons of Anarchy, there is a lot to like about Justified. Set around the travails of enigmatic deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens, in some ways it is a crime procedural - there is a season-long narrative anchored by a ''bad guy'' and often a crime-of-the-week case will pop up. However, The Mentalist it is not. The character of Givens, who has returned to his home town after a stint in Miami, is taken from the novels of Elmore Leonard and the series, set in Kentucky, is suitably well written and put together. The first season was shown in the US in 2010, and although FX began airing it only in 2012, the channel is certainly doing the right thing by fans now. Having caught up to the US schedule, it is airing the show's season-four episodes a couple of hours after they air Stateside, which means no preview for tonight's episode is available. This much we know: Raylan begins unravelling a cold case that echoes all the way to his troubled boyhood, and Boyd finds himself threatened by a Pentecostal preacher. Based on the excellent instalment served up last week, quality control is not an issue here.
The North Pole Conspiracy, History, 8.30pm

Bunheads, Fox8, 4.25pm
TERRIBLE title. Terrific show. That about sums up this excellent new dramedy from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman Palladino. For the uninitiated, the phrase ''bunhead'' is the name given to female ballet dancers, who look, literally, like bunheads as they keep their hair up while dancing in class and on stage. The show is centred around the character of Michelle, played by former Broadway actress Sutton Foster, and her move to a sleepy Californian town with some deep similarities to the fictional Gilmore Girls location Stars Hollow. Foster is also deeply channelling Lauren Graham's character Lorelai Gilmore, the spunky, fast-talking protagonist of that show, too. We're now six episodes deep into what has been a very strong 10-episode first season. Michelle is teaching at a ballet school for girls, owned by a woman named Fanny Flowers who - in another connection to Gilmore Girls - is played by Kelly Bishop, who was, of course, family matriarch Emily Gilmore. The two nurture and mentor the school's four key female teenagers and each episode follows both generations and their various issues. Of the four young girls, the obvious star is Brazilian-born actor-dancer Julia Goldani Telles, who plays charismatic, precocious Sasha. It is Sasha who delivers most of Sherman-Palladino's cutting pop-culture references. Sure, on paper it sounds a strange show, but it's actually one of the easiest and most enjoyable hours of drama on television right now. Definitely worth a look.
The Mob Doctor, Fox8, 9.30pm
Fast-tracked episodes of so-bad-it's-good new drama series from the US. Don't enjoy this too much, though - it was recently cancelled by its American network CBS.
1600 Penn, Comedy Channel, 9.30pm
Another fast-tracked American series, this one is a comedy from NBC, and set in the White House. Sounds hilarious. Ahem.

The Rubber City Shakespeare Company announces its upcoming summer repertory season featuring William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," directed by Dane CT Leasure, and "Romeo and Juliet," directed by Kelly Elliott).
Both productions are sponsored by The University of Akron's College of Education.
The company of 12 college and professional actors will perform both shows in true rotating repertory, presenting a different show every other night beginning June 25. Employing early modern staging conditions such as universal lighting, the actors and audience share the same light, a technique that allows the actors to engage directly with the audience and is similar to how Shakespeare's company performed.
Rubber City also practices cross-gendered casting, with women playing men's roles and vice versa, as well as re-gendering characters from male to female, allowing women to play females in early modern plays.
The summer repertory season begins with Pay-As-You-Like-It preview performances of "Much Ado About Nothing" on June 25 and "Romeo and Juliet" on June 26. These are free performances, no reservations needed, with donations accepted at the door. Opening night for "Much Ado About Nothing" is on June 27 and opening night for "Romeo and Juliet" is on June 28. The repertory runs Thursday through Sunday until July 13, with no performance on July 4. All evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students (14 and older), and $8 for youth (7 through 13). Order tickets online at:www.rubbercityshakes.com/tickets. Tickets are available an hour before show time at the door. All performances will be on the University of Akron's campus in Schrank Hall South Auditorium, at 240 Carroll Street.

Molecular Biologist

Beth Shapiro travels through time—observing mammoths, dodos, and other extinct animals; witnessing the last ice age and arrival of humans in North America; watching genetic diversity shrink in one species while blossoming in another.
Her journey is made possible by ancient DNA samples and statistical models that give science a whole new view of our tumultuous past.
This very new field uses genetic information gleaned from ancient animals and plants to discover how evolution happens over time and territory. By analyzing DNA samples from species at not just one, but many moments in time, researchers can trace changes in populations, and overlay those changes with concurrent environmental events. The precision this allows is unprecedented.
"We can pinpoint when a species' genetic diversity changed." Shapiro says. "We can see if that change may have been influenced by a specific event such as a new predator or shift in climate. By sampling populations across time, we can actually see diversity being lost or gained as animals evolve and migrate."
"There have been many hypotheses about why populations maintain or lose diversity." she explains, "Now, for the first time, ancient DNA lets us explicitly test those hypotheses and propose new ones. Answering these questions can help form strategies to protect and conserve species today. We can look at prehistoric analogs to modern populations and see who was in trouble, when, and why. We can measure which environmental or habitat factors were most important in determining the fate of different species, and how those factors influenced each other. For example, if we identify a time when horses were doing particularly well, we can extract ancient plant DNA from the soil and scrutinize vegetation they grazed on."
Already, ancient DNA has proved several long-standing assumptions wrong. "It was commonly accepted that the reason bison have no diversity today is that almost all of them were killed by human hunters in North America 200 years ago," Shapiro notes.
Instead, her ancient DNA analysis proved that even when there were millions of bison, they had no genetic diversity. In fact, their decline began not 200, but 35,000 years ago as climate changed and they passed through the peak of the last ice age.
Ancient DNA also sheds new light on the decades-old debate over what caused the mass extinctions of mammoths, saber-toothed cats, mastodons, and other distinctive species about 10,000 years ago. Some scientists argue that the arrival of humans and overhunting triggered the extinctions; others attribute the event to major changes in vegetation and climate.
Surprising new ancient DNA findings reveal that the true beginning of this massive extinction was well before human intervention or the peak of the last ice age. As Shapiro notes, "Suddenly we realize that all the species we have data on began declining 35,000 to 50,000 years ago. Understanding that period has never been a scientific priority. But now we see that something very important was happening at that time which ultimately determined the outcome of many different animals."
If analyzing ancient DNA is an adventure, so is gathering it. Shapiro has scoured remote landscapes in Alaska, Kenya, Siberia, and Canada to collect small samples from bones, teeth, skulls, and tusks that will be brought back to the lab, ground up, dissolved, altered and "cooked" so DNA can be extracted.
Shapiro's ongoing expeditions to gold fields in Canada's Yukon Territory have proved especially fruitful. Good relationships with numerous mining companies there permit her team to gather bone samples exposed as miner's high-pressure hoses wash permafrost away. What makes these samples especially valuable is the ability to date them to earlier periods than traditional radiocarbon methods allow.
"Radiocarbon dates," she explains, "can only go back about 40,000 to 50,000 years. But these Yukon sites give us a unique chance to establish the age of samples as far back as 130,000 years."
How? For millennia, layers of volcanic ash have settled in sites being mined today. These layers can be linked to specific eruptions that occurred prior to the time registered by radiocarbon dating. "Let's say we know an eruption happened about 80,000 years ago. If we find bones associated with that volcanic ash layer, we know they're that old too," she says. "This lets us push back population genetics estimates to older and older time periods than ever before."
What does the future hold for a scientist who spends her days peering into the past? "We're now able to look not only at particular genes, but at how whole genomes—the entirety of a species' genetics—evolved. We can go beyond mitochondrial DNA to nuclear DNA, which gives us an entirely new set of evolutionary information. We can see how genetic traits changed through time and how natural selection happened in real populations. I think we're on the brink of the most exciting time ever in this field."

Mention the name Bernie Madoff and the words Ponzi scheme probably come to mind. In 2008, Madoff admitted to stealing billions of dollars from investors, masterminding the largest Ponzi sheme in history. He was sentenced to 150 years behind bars.
But you don't have to travel in New York's social circles to be a victim of a Ponzi scheme.
"One thing we have seen in these scams is that people are often brought in by friends and family members or people from church who are well-meaning but fallen to the victims themselves – so people should do their own research," said Assistant US Attorney, Michael D. Anderson.
Anderson says Ponzi schemes are a growing problem in the United States. In fact, one recent case had almost 400 victims and a staggering $16 million in losses. Law enforcement and postal inspectors want investors to know the signs of a scam.
"Something people need to be aware of is investments offering to return 40% or even 20% - something that is much more than what they can get in a normal Investment – often those are frauds or schemes," said Anderson.
"One other thing consumers should be aware of – is when someone claims to be a stock broker – you can research it on your own with websites such as the SEC," said US Postal Inspector, Troy Dickinson.
How doe a Ponzi scheme work? The bogus investment operation pays out returns from money paid in by the next group of investors, rather than from profits earned. If investors aren't cautious, they can get caught up in the cycle and lose everything.
"Some had to delay their retirement - they cashed in their 401K - they lost everything they had. On top of all that, when the suspects were arrested, there was no money left to give back to the victims," said Dickinson.
Postal Inspectors say scam artists often display their wealth to potential victims, claiming they are able to afford the luxury items because of investments. So do your research. Don't invest with anyone until you thoroughly check them out. One cliché holds true: it's better to be safe than sorry.

Like the European Christmas, America's Thanksgiving is edging towards being an entirely retail-driven festival. Black Friday, the day after the holiday, has been the busiest shopping day of the year for a while; we now also have Small Business Saturday and Cyber-Monday (for online buyers), and no doubt some marketing fiend somewhere is seeking to theme Sunday and Tuesday also.
Those capitalistic Puritans would have been proud, right? Max Weber says so. Liberated from the clutches of a static and stultifying Europe (and skipping all those EU summits), they worked hard, saw profits and wealth as evidence of God's calling, and we ended up with the greatest economy on earth.
Well, not really. Not only were they pretty feeble producers themselves to begin with – Bill Bryson claims the Mayflower carried not a single cow or horse or plough (plow, whatever) or fishing line – but the Massachusetts colonists had some peculiar views about business. Read more

Giants hoping Belt turns corner in recovery
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants first baseman Brandon Belt underwent an examination Wednesday to determine the extent of his recovery from his second encounter in a month with post-concussion syndrome.
Results of the tests were not immediately known, though Giants manager Bruce Bochy tried to remain optimistic.
"Our hope is that he turns the corner in the next day or two and we start to see some progress," Bochy said.
Belt missed 12 games during July's stint on the disabled list as he weathered the concussion he suffered July 19. Bochy was reluctant to surmise that the 26-year-old, who missed his fifth consecutive game, would return more quickly this time.
"I can't assume that until our doctors tell us what they think," Bochy said.

All markets want from Ben Bernanke when he testifies before Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday is reassurance that he is not getting cold feet about the Fed's open-ended, $85bn-a-month, QE3 programme of asset purchases. That follows minutes which, while notably vague, showed "many" participants worrying about QE3′s costs and risks.
They are likely to get that reassurance — although maybe not in the most straightforward manner. It is important to note that, when Mr Bernanke testifies, he is speaking for the committee and not for himself. This is the statutory language: Read more

Gio has uneven night as Nats fall again to Braves
Lefty strikes out nine, but allows five runs, walks five in four innings
ATLANTA -- Sometimes baseball can be such a simple game. Other times, it can just leave you scratching your head.
Tuesday night at Turner Field was the latter for Gio Gonzalez.
Gonzalez, who had allowed a season-high seven earned runs in five innings in an April 14 loss to Atlanta at Nationals Park, struck out a season-high nine Braves. But he also surrendered a season-high five walks and lasted only four innings, allowing five earned runs and seven hits in taking the loss in the Nats' 8-1 defeat.
"Today is one of those things you just can't explain," said Gonzalez, who allowed at least five runs for the third time in four starts, a span in which he's pitched to a 7.36 ERA (18 earned runs in 22 innings). "You either attack the strike zone or you don't. You get nine strikeouts then five walks. They make some good contact and then they get broken-bat hits. It's just one of those games you just can't explain."
Tuesday's loss was the third straight for the Nationals, their ninth straight to the Braves dating back to last season, and the fifth straight at Atlanta's home ballpark.
In two starts against Atlanta, Gonzalez has now allowed 12 earned runs in nine innings. He's allowed seven earned runs in 23 innings in his four other starts.
The trouble began almost immediately, as Gonzalez allowed a home run to leadoff hitter Andrelton Simmons on the second pitch of the game. He would throw 26 more pitches in the frame and allow another run. The trouble would continue in the second, as he hurled 27 more pitches while the Braves bunched three hits and plated another pair of runs.
"It was just a tough outing for him," said Nationals manager Davey Johnson. "When you pitch, you've got to hit your spots, you've got to make good pitches. He just didn't do it. He punched out a lot of guys, but a lot of them were full counts. You waste a lot of pitches on a lot of hitters."
Gonzalez threw 95 pitches in the four innings, 56 for strikes, in falling to 0-2 in road starts in 2013, with an 11.25 ERA. Last season, he led the National League in road wins, going 12-4 with a 3.31 ERA.
The offense could not answer against Braves starter Tim Hudson (3-1), who won his 200th career game, going seven innings, allowing a run on three hits. He struck out six and walked two.
Washington went hitless through four, managing only two walks, and didn't get its first hit until Tyler Moore, who started in left field with Jayson Werth getting the night off to rest his right hamstring and left ankle, doubled to right field leading off the fifth. He would score on a Wilson Ramos groundout two batters later.
"I just wanted to get the inning started. He'd been shutting us down all night," said Moore. "Our bats just weren't awake tonight. [Hudson was] just getting ahead of hitters, keeping the ball down the whole time. If he fell behind, he threw his offspeed for a strike. He was just on tonight."
Hudson even hit his third career home run, an opposite-field drive in the fifth inning off reliever Zach Duke that typified the way things went all night for the Nats. Bryce Harper leapt for the fly at the wall, got his glove on the ball, but then hit the wall. The impact jarred the ball from Harper's glove and it rolled into the seats.
"I hit a pole," said Harper, who sported a big red welt under his left shoulder. "I had it in my glove. I got up pretty high. [The ball] hit my glove, [I] hit the wall. [The ball came] out of my glove. I should have caught it."
The homer ignited a three-run fifth, all with two out. In the top of the sixth, Adam LaRoche's sixth-inning blast was run down by Atlanta center fielder B.J. Upton, who hit the wall but held on to end the inning.
When it's not your night, it's not your night.
The offense never heated up, as Denard Span and Ian Desmond had the only other hits off Atlanta pitching.
Span singled leading off the sixth and Desmond, who came into the game with a .293 career average and 12 career hits against Hudson, tripled to right leading off the seventh. The hit extended his hitting streak to seven games, but, to the Nats' frustration, he would be stranded at third.
Washington's Tuesday frustration has already yielded to Wednesday optimism, however.
"We've lost our last three, but we know we've got Jordan [Zimmermann] on the mound tomorrow and we're really confident in what he can do," said Moore. "Hopefully our bats will wake up. We've got to keep moving on. Can't really dwell on it."
Gonzalez sure doesn't want to. He's looking ahead to a new day and a new month.
"It's a long season, man. Things can change," he said. "I'm not going to stress it. I know these guys are not going to stress it. They're trying their best, I'm trying my best. It's a slow start for us. But once we turn it around, it's going to be a big change. Hopefully we don't have this kind of stuff in May. Hopefully it turns around and we swing the bats and we make better pitches."
And their current luck with Atlanta?

Did you know?
Morné Steyn kicked all 18 points when South Africa beat the All Blacks in the inaugural Test match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in 2011.
Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth is a multi-purpose venue, regularly hosting rugby and soccer events. It is the home ground of the Eastern Province Kings (EP Kings) rugby team, who joined the Super Rugby set up in 2013.
Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium hosted seven matches during the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, including the third place play-off in which Germany beat Uruguay. The first international rugby match at the stadium was played between South Africa and New Zealand on August 21, 2011 and the South African leg of the IRB Sevens World Series was held at this ground in December 2011.
The stadium has seating for 46 000 spectators and some seats even offer views of the Indian Ocean. The people of Port Elizabeth love their sport and rugby matches played at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium are always well attended.
There are great hopes for the Eastern Province Kings, who enjoy excellent support during the domestic competitions they play in: the Vodacom Cup and the Currie Cup.
The lack of a Super Rugby franchise has led to many talented rugby players from the Eastern Cape pursuing careers elsewhere, but this is hopefully now set to change. Some of the big names to come out of this region in recent times include Brent Russell, Ryan Kankowski and the Ndungane twins, Odwa and Akhona.
Rugby fans visiting Port Elizabeth should take the time to attend an Eastern Province Kings' match, to witness upcoming stars in action. You will meet some of the friendliest and most enthusiastic rugby fans in the world and be part of something special.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/2/2013 (1650 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba's highest court has drastically increased the prison sentence given to notorious child-abusing hockey coach Graham James.
The Court of Appeal announced Friday morning they were overturning the two-year term given last year to James and replacing it with a five-year stint behind bars.
They said the original penalty was much too lenient.
James, 59, admitted last March to sexually abusing two players on hundreds of occasions between 1983 and 1994.
"This is a great day for all survivors," former NHL star Theoren Fleury said on his Twitter account following Friday's decision.
Prosecutor Liz Thomson argued last December the penalty James received -- dubbed a "national travesty" by his two victims -- was not nearly enough. She was seeking a six-year sentence, saying it's the only way to express society's condemnation of such a crime.
"He has to pay the price for what he did to the victims and the community," she argued.
But defence lawyer Evan Roitenberg urged the three-justice panel not to interfere, saying James is a changed man who has earned a second chance. He said the fact James has gone nearly two decades since he offended without being arrested again shows he is no longer a public danger.
"There is proven rehabilitation here," said Roitenberg. He suggested his client was under the mistaken belief his young players were interested in romantic relationships with him.
"You are pushing a big rock up a steep hill if you want me to accept that," said Appeal Court Justice Alan MacInnes."What occurred here was incredibly egregious. He was not just their guardian, he controlled their futures. He effectively destroyed them by his conduct."
James, 59, pleaded guilty to abusing Fleury and Todd Holt while coaching them during the 1980s and early '90s in the Western Hockey League. Fleury went on to become a star in the National Hockey League.
At his original sentencing hearing, Crown attorney Colleen McDuff told court James specifically targeted players for abuse, even making trades in the WHL "for players he thought were good-looking.
"In their notice of appeal, the Crown argued provincial court Judge Catherine Carlson erred in her approach to the sentence, overemphasized the significance of prior sentences for similar offences and erred in assessing the "totality principle," which holds that jail time for multiple offences must be fair and reasonable when added together.
James was previously sentenced in 1997 to 31/2 years for sexual assaults on three other junior hockey players around the same time he abused Fleury and Holt. But both those victims waited until years after the fact to go to police.James received a controversial pardon in 2007 for his earlier set of offences, but it was revoked after his most recent arrest.
He became eligible for day parole last September after serving six months of his sentence. He became eligible for full parole when he served one-third of his sentence by late November. However, the National Parole Board did not receive any applications from him.

UN-Women Executive Board: National Statement on UN-Women's Strategic Plan
(as delivered:)
"Mr. President,
Since its inception, UN Women has moved steadily forward, guided by the principle articulated in the UN Charter- the principle of equal rights of men and women. UN Women contributes to advancing gender equality, women's rights and the empowerment of women in general as well as within the UN System. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the work of UN Women and reiterate our commitment to the organization.
Global poverty reduction, sustainable development, preservation of natural resources, the guarantee of human rights and good governance are goals that can only be accomplished if the realization of gender equality and the implementation of women's rights are at the center of the global target system. Gender equality will and must be a performance benchmark in the post- 2015 process.
Mr. President,
We have come far, but we have to go further in order to fulfill the mandate of this organization and transform visions into reality. In its Strategic Plan, UN Women has set itself ambitious goals.
Our national policies and our development cooperation conceive gender equality as a key component to contribute to the generation of democratic societies based on human rights, social justice and sustainable development. Arising from our all-encompassing guiding principle of human rights, women's rights in particular, always play a decisive role.
The German gender concept in development cooperation not only pursues the object of gender equality and the strengthening of women's rights, but also aims to overcome multiple discrimination, which primarily women fall victim to. Our strategy is based on a three-pronged approach. Its key components are: Empowerment, Gender Mainstreaming and political dialogue.
We are convinced that we will achieve further success in gender equality on the basis of this strategy. With the provision of 9.2 billion euros since the Millennium Summit in 2000 for bilateral development programs, which –regardless of their actual goal- have a positive impact on gender equality, and additional 757 million euros in funding, committed to projects whose primary goal is gender equality, Germany has contributed to the promotion of gender equality in its partner countries.
Since we have committed our gender policy to a human rights-based approach, the strengthening of gender equality is a stand- alone goal of German development cooperation. The dissolution of unfair structures and mechanisms, as well as the transformation of traditional role models affect equality between women and men in partnerships, family and the working world, and is an ongoing political, social, cultural and economic task in Germany. A life cycle-oriented policy for women and men, as well as the goal of partnerships on an equal footing, are on the agenda of modern equality and social policy.
UN Women is an standard-setting global actor and carries weight on the international scene due to its specific knowledge. As a United Nations body, UN Women has the legitimacy and authority to set standards, which we implement in bilateral development cooperation and national gender equality policies. We wish to cooperate even closer with UN Women in order to achieve further progress. A stronger cooperation requires intensive exchange on gender relevant issues, as well as an evaluation of the measures taken. We therefore appreciate UN Women's aim to institutionalize a strong culture of result- based management, reporting knowledge management and evaluation.
We would like to congratulate UN-Women on the progress made in implementing the first UN-Women Strategic Plan (2011-2013) and in fulfilling the organization's comprehensive mandate. We would like to particularly emphasize UN Women's efforts in improving the global normative framework, especially in strengthening commitments for the elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls, as well as in advocating for a stand-alone goal on gender equality and women's empowerment in the post-2015 agenda. Recalling the Agreed Conclusions of the 58th Commission on the Status of Women, we would like to encourage UN Women to continue advocating for a stand-alone gender goal, as well as for comprehensive and systematic gender mainstreaming into all goals of any new development framework.
We are convinced that policy coherence, knowledge-sharing and coordination are key elements to ensure gender-sensitive development. We therefore highly appreciate UN Women's continuous commitment to systematically strengthen the UN's performance on gender equality and women's empowerment. Recognizing the importance of gender-sensitive strategies and policies, we would like to also stress the importance of promoting measures to generate political will, transparency and a gender-sensitive organizational culture.
Gender equality has a long history both in the Member States and in the United Nations. We appreciate that UN Women has launched a global campaign to mark the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action - and thus bringing the Beijing Platform for Action back into the spotlight and also introducing a discussion about the future we want. Germany gladly participates together with our civil society.
Gender-sensitive data and indicators are central prerequisites to monitor progress in promoting gender equality and women's rights. Therefore, Germany highly welcomes UN Women's continuous efforts to collect, analyse, and disseminate gender-sensitive data. It is important that the agreed set of indicators will be adequately considered in the discussions on gender-sensitive targets and indicators of a new development framework. We will support UN Women in developing approaches to test and implement the set of gender indicators at country level.
We believe that the current strategic plan is a strong starting point for progress in the realm of gender equality and women's empowerment and look forward to make this the century for achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls.
Thank you!"

Video: Mary Wilson of The Supremes Chats About the 'Come See About Me' Exhibit
Philadelphia's going to get uber-glam in January! That's when the Supremes costume exhibit lights up the city.
-PJ Gach
Yesterday I hoofed it to Philadelphia to take a sneak peek at Come See About Me: The Mary Wilson Supremes Collection, which will make it's Philadelphia debut in January at the African American Museum, and to meet Ms. Mary Wilson herself.
In person, Mary Wilson is every inch a gorgeous glamour queen. Wearing a black dress, matching jacket, and turquoise jewelry, this legendary singer can take over a room without saying a word. Sitting across from her in a quiet conference room at the PNC Center (where the preview had taken place) it's hard to think that this woman has lived through the turbulent '60s, wild '70s and beyond. She just looks too damn young to have done that.
Read 32 BCA Tops, Bags, Lingerie, Dresses + More to Wear!
We all know the music of The Supremes. Their songs "Stop! In the Name of Love," "Baby Love," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," and more are ingrained in our hearts and our brains. They've become part of the soundtrack of our lives. The images of these gorgeous, willowy and oh-so-fashionable African American women on stage are touchstones of style and beauty. They started out as iconoclasts and ended up being musical, political and style icons.
When the group first started in Detroit, the country was at a very different place. The racial divide was deep and wide. There was "Black Music" and "Pop." The incredible talents of these three young women: Mary Wilson, Diana Ross and Florence Ballard helped make the line grow smaller and smaller. By 1965 they were world-wide stars. They made 17 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. The group lasted for 18 years, finally breaking up in 1977. Florence Ballard left in 1967 and was replaced by Cindy Birdsong. After Cindy left, other singers: Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, then Susaye Greene all took their turns singing with Mary Wilson and Diana Ross. Throughout all that Mary became "keeper of the gowns." When a member left the group, she had to turn in her stage wardrobe to Mary, who would then pass it on to the new member. The stage costumes were called "sets" as they came in threes.
The video interview with Mary Wilson and more up next!
Mary Wilson has well over 30 plus costumes and more in her collection. For the exhibit that will be held at the African American Museum in Philadelphia (January 25, 2013- June 30, 2013) you'll see 30 glamorous sets from their amazing career.
Mary explains the exhibit, the inspiration and the contents of it below:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/3/2014 (1243 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
By now, you have most likely heard the terrible news.
There's no way to sugarcoat it so I'll just blurt it out -- lifestyle guru/actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her rock-star husband, Chris Martin, are going their separate ways after 11 years of marriage.
Initially, as you can imagine, I was pretty bummed out because, like you, I am one of those People-magazine-reading persons whose happiness depends entirely on the shallow personal lives of celebrities who, if I ever came within 100 metres of one, would hit me with a restraining order faster than Lindsay Lohan can drain a vodka martini.
Anyway, the point is, I found reason to hope when I read the announcement entitled "Conscious Uncoupling" the former couple posted on Goop, Paltrow's lifestyle website, that stated: "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate... We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner."
Is that great news, or what, celebrity watchers? Gwyneth and the rock star are not divorcing! No, they are... hold on while I look at those words one more time... "consciously uncoupling."
Whew! I was getting worried for a few minutes. The problem is, some unhip persons -- and I think you know who you are -- do not have a (very bad word) clue what "conscious uncoupling" means. Fortunately, once again, I am here to enlighten you.
What with being a master of New Age terminology, Uncle Doug is going to carefully explain this metaphysical concept to you via the following real-life scenarios he has just made up:
EXAMPLE NO. 1: A senior manager at a prosperous company informs a redundant subordinate they, like Gwyneth and Chris, must go their separate ways.
Employee: "You wanted to see me, sir?"
Manager: "Yes, Bill, I have great news: We are giving you the freedom to explore an entirely new career path!"
Employee (confused): "I beg your pardon?"
Manager: "The company and you are going to, um, detach from one another in a sincere and humanitarian effort to allow each party to explore different avenues along the highway to inner peace and professional fulfilment."
Employee: "You're firing me???"
Manager: "No, not at all. We're 'consciously uncoupling' you!"
Employee: "So you're going to keep paying me?"
Manager: "Ha ha ha. No! As we consciously uncouple, we feel it would be best to divest ourselves of those meaningless trappings that sully our auras and prevent us from being the best we can be without each other."
Employee: "???"
Manager: "Also, I'm going to need you to empty your desk and return the keys to the company car!"
EXAMPLE NO. 2: A father gently explains to his young daughter the family's beloved hamster, Stanley, has gone to meet his maker.
Dad: "Hi, sweetheart, I need to talk to you about Stanley."
Daughter: "What's wrong, Dad?"
Dad: "Oh, nothing, sweetie, but Mom and I wanted to let you know Stanley and life on Earth have decided to 'consciously uncouple' with each other from a metaphysical perspective."
Daughter (eyes glistening): "Dad, are you trying to say Stanley is dead?"
Dad: "Dead? No, not in the slightest, dear. That's much too harsh for this situation. What's happening is Stanley's corporeal existence has made a decision to consciously uncouple from his spiritual being and move on to a different plateau where he is free to, um, shuffle off this mortal coil."
Daughter: "Also, he's not breathing!"
Dad: "Yes, there's that, too."
EXAMPLE NO. 3: A newspaper columnist tries to explain to his wife he is separating himself from certain household tasks.
Wife: "I thought we agreed you were going to clean the garage!"
Columnist (on couch): "I was, but now I'm 'consciously uncoupling' from that inhumane marital requirement."
Wife (eyes like lasers): "Run that by me again, cupcake!"
Columnist (glancing up from his paper): "My inner child tells me that to keep my karma in harmonic convergence I need to remain here on the couch and bond with the idea of reading the sports section of the newspaper and eating salsa straight from the jar."
Wife (slipping on her coat and heading for the door): "Good luck with that, Stud Muffin."
Columnist: "Where are you going, honey?"
Wife: "England! I hear Chris Martin is single!"

Last night, at the O2 Arena in London, David Haye continued his comeback with win number two.
Having decided to take on the unbeaten Kosovan, boxing out of a Swiss base, Arnold Gjergjaj, Haye proceeded to blow his opponent away inside two rounds.
Gjergjaj might have had one of the longest unbeaten runs on the European heavyweight scene but he simply wasnt in Hayes class.
As soon as Gjergjaj felt the power of Hayes punches it seemed that it would be only a matter of time before the end came.
Haye had his opponent on the floor three times, with one knockdown coming from nothing more than a jab, before the fight was stopped in the second round.
Gjergjaj offered nothing when it came to testing Haye and although the former two-weight world champion looked in fantastic shape, this latest fight proved nothing.
However, talking to the media afterwards Haye exuded confidence remarking,
'I felt amazing
'The fans have come out to see the future of heavyweight boxing. People thought I was the past, but I am still the future.
The win moves Hayes professional record to 28 wins from 30 fights with 26 of his wins coming by knockout.

Moving Heavy Equipment On Muddy Roads
The Film
Running Time
07 min 58 s
This footage probably dates from the campaign known as the Battle of Passchendaele in the fall of 1917, when the wet muddy terrain posed great difficulties. In the first segment, men struggle to load a large rolling gun onto a narrow-gauge railway trolley. The next shot of a mounted officer leading a horse-drawn battery is followed by images of artillerymen straining to position a BL 6" 26CWT (breech loading, 6-inch-wide barrel, 26 hundred weight) howitzer and a subsequent shot of the crew preparing to cover the gun with tarpaulin.
An image of three men digging lumber out of the mud is followed by images of men using horses to free heavy artillery from wet ground. We then see shots of men handling heavy equipment that has been fitted with wheel pads to ease movement over soft ground. Yet another shot of men struggling to position heavy artillery into firing position is followed by a high-angle shot of field artillery and their horse teams. An image of a large artillery piece being towed by tractor is followed by shots of horse-drawn artillery moving across a battlefield. A nearby corpse is visible. The clip closes with another sequence of men toiling to move heavy artillery through mud and a final shot of men digging lumber from wet ground and assisting horses.
The Battle of Passchendaele was fought in horrific conditions. Over five days in mid-October 1917, Canadian troops marched out of the train station in Ypres to find a town where the bombed-out cathedral and cloth hall were among the few surviving buildings. Leaving the ruins of the town, they marched northeast onto a desolate expanse of destruction. The few among them who had fought here in 1915 could barely recognize the terrain. Former landmarks had been obliterated along with entire villages. Intense shelling had destroyed the irrigation systems that drained the low-lying farmland, and the whole area had been transformed into a fetid sea of mud, littered with artillery shells and human remains. Unusually heavy rain made matters worse. Troops had to make their way over slippery duckboards, and those who fell into the mud risked drowning. Many men and animals would die this way.
The wet cold and poor hygiene contributed to ill health. Men came down with tuberculosis, meningitis, flu and a host of other diseases. Regular foot inspections were conducted to minimize "trench foot," an incapacitating condition caused by wet boots.
Finding dry ground to locate heavy guns was a constant challenge. As the front line moved forward, gunners had to move weapons from one firing position to the next. Supplying ammunition was hazardous, with men carrying fresh stocks across the featureless and boggy terrain at night and piling them alongside the gun. At any time an enemy shell could strike, setting off an explosion that would destroy all men and equipment in the area.
The fighting continued until November 6, when British and Canadian troops took Passchendaele village, and Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig finally ended the attack. It was one of the most controversial episodes in the war. In total, the Allies lost about 300,000 men, including almost 16,000 Canadians.

Historian, Canadian War Museum
In 1914 and 1915, artillery proved it was the great killer. For those caught in the open, shrapnel and high explosive shells wreacked havoc. Thousands were left rotting on the battlefields. However, artillery guns were vulnerable to small arms fire, and they could be driven away from the front. But the guns were soon firing indirectly from hidden positions several kilometeres to the rear, still causing terrible damage. Soldiers were forced to find safety in trenches, digging beneath the ground to escape the murderous fire.
As trenches were strengthened with barbed wire, deep dugouts, and machine -guns, an enormous weight of fire was needed to smash the enemy defences and support the infantry. But there were not always enough shells in the early years to feed the guns. And so the infantry were killed in the tens of thousands as they attacked undamaged enemy trenches in frontal assaults. As the war lengthened, artillerymen received nearly unlimited supplies of shells through the enormous production of munitions factories. New tactics were also developed to improve the accuracy of the guns.
Artillery shells contained high explosives, shrapnel, and, later in the war, poison gas and smoke. Both the high explosive and shrapnel shells were timed to detonate in the air above a target. High explosive shells blasted holes in the trenches and the concussion alone could kill, as lungs collapsed under the force of the explosion. Shrapnel shells were equally deadly, consisting of more than 300 rounded metal balls that exploded downward in a cone-shaped rain of whirling metal. As well, the casing of the shell was designed to explode outward, creating jagged, uneven shards of steel that tore through flesh.
By 1916, commanders believed that massive artillery shoots, involving hundreds of thousands of shells, would annihilate the enemy defenders. This would allow the infantry to punch a hole through enemy lines and restore mobility on the Western Front.
However, it was often hard to hit, and then destroy, the narrow and well-fortified trenches. The problem also lay in the shell fuses. Earlier types were not sensitive enough to explode on contact, especially with shells tasked to clear barbed wire. As a result, many of the shells exploded in the ground, killing very few of the enemy, leaving the infantry to fight their way through defences-in-depth. By the end of 1916, newer, sensitive fuses that exploded on the slightest contact harnessed the destructive power of the artillery and, equally important to the infantry, cleared barbed wire from in front of enemy trenches.
Tactics again changed during the later phases of the bloody battles of the Somme in the last half of 1916. The gunners would never be able to destroy all of the German defences, and even one machine -gunner could kill hundreds of attacking infantry. Instead, the artillery sought to suppress enemy fire through a "creeping barrage," and give their own attacking infantry enough time to cross the killing zone of nNo Mman's Lland.
Gunners fired their shells to create a "creeping" wall of fire that slowly moved forward over the enemy lines at fixed intervals: 50 yards (46 m) every couple of minutes, less for muddy ground, more for open warfare. In effect, it was a screen of fire and explosives. As this moving wall of shrapnel and high explosives chewed up the ground in its path, the infantry were told to "lean into the barrage" and stay as close as possible. Although friendly fire was expected and occurred, the casualties would still be lighter than if the creeping barrage moved off and allowed German machine -gunners, waiting in the safety of deep dugouts, to get to the top of their trenches before the infantry crossed nNo Mman's lLand.
At the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917, the gunners had perfected the creeping barrage. Yet enemy gunners still took a fearful toll as they laid down their own counter-barrages to catch the follow-on waves of infantry. The enemy guns had to be stopped, or slowed, but it was exceedingly difficult to identify, target, and destroy camouflaged guns several kilometeres away.
Accurate intelligence was essential, and new and refined forms of science aided the gunners. The Canadian Corps was lucky to have Brigadier-General Andrew McNaughton, commander of the counter-battery office for much of the war, who embraced new technology and tactics. A prewar professor at McGill University, he turned to science to save his soldiers lives.
The Canadian Counter Battery Office (CCBO), established in February 1917, gathered intelligence and processed information on the enemy to assist in knocking out his guns. Aerial reconnaissance from the Royal Flying Corps (later Royal Air Force) was of great assistance as airmen photographed the front from great heights. Later in the war, observation aircraft circled the battlefield, passing real-time information to the gunners through letter drops and primitive wireless radio.
As the CCBO developed after April 1917, this information-gathering and target-selection became more sophisticated, with new technology, like sound-ranging and flash-spotting, assisting gunners to find and destroy enemy targets.
Flash-spotting involved the coordination of observers. At least three posts were needed, usually spread out along several kilometeres. When an enemy gun position was spotted by the revealing flash as the shell left the barrel, the observers were telephoned by headquarters to turn their attention to that spot. After studying the flash of the gun, the observers would hit a key that was connected to a lamp at headquarters. From the observers' bearings, and by triangulating their estimates, enemy guns could be located with high precision.
Sound-ranging worked on a similar principle. Listeners sat two kilometeres behind the line with their microphones. Additional posts were manned well ahead of these positions. As long as there was not more than one shell per second being fired, on hearing the crash of an enemy gun, the forward listening post pressed a key that started an oscillograph, an instrument that recorded on film the sound of the shell in flight as it reached each microphone in turn. The time-intervals between the microphones allowed the CCBO to analyse the information and, if conditions were optimal, pinpoint enemy guns to within twenty-five 25 yards (23 m). All available counter-battery guns would be aimed on that spot to deliver a destructive shoot of 50-100 shells. Chemical shells were also used to kill or force the enemy gunners to wear debilitating respirators that severely affected the rate of fire.
In the last year of the war, artillery had perfected the creeping barrage and was steadily improving its counter-battery work. Further tactical refinement allowed gunners to fire more complicated barrages, like a box barrage. The box barrages set up a wall of fire and explosives around an enemy position —-- usually a trench —-- which effectively isolated it from reinforcements. It allowed assaulting Canadian infantrymen to capture and consolidate a position without fear of immediate counterattack.
By war's end, 43,914 gunners had served in the Canadian artillery, and 2,565 had lost their lives from disease, injury, and battlefield wounds. They had fired tens of millions of shells, reducing the landscape to a desolate wasteland, and an estimated 60% of all wounds were inflicted by shell fire. The First World War was indeed a gunner's war.

Military Logistics of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914–1919
Michel Litalien
Canadian military logistics is a dimension of the history of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) that is often overlooked. Yet just a few days after Canada's entry into the First World War, it was obvious that there was no way of ignoring it. When huge numbers of military and civilian volunteers showed up at Valcartier, near Quebec City, in August 1914, logistical support services, which had only recently been established, were soon put to the test. Clothing and equipping the members of the first contingent turned out to be a real headache. Manufacturers had to be found and contracts drawn up in a hurry for the production of uniforms, boots, belts, weapons, vehicles and so on. From a logistical standpoint, mobilizing the first contingent destined for Europe was a nightmare.
Throughout the Great War, the Canadian Expeditionary Force's logistical support system was an immense, complex operation. Of all the support services, the Canadian Army Service Corps (CASC) was the most diversified. Its main responsibilities were transporting combat troops, delivering equipment and materials, and providing the troops with fresh supplies. In addition to these essential tasks, the CASC also evacuated the wounded (ambulance drivers belonged to the corps), salvaged equipment that had been captured from the enemy or left behind on the battlefield and delivered mail. The CASC worked closely with the Canadian Ordnance Corps, the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and the Canadian Artillery Corps for the transportation of specialized ordnance.
The CASC operated from seaports located hundreds of kilometres from the battlefield, all the way to just behind the front lines. Its replenishment system could supply not only small groups of just a few men but also formations the size of an infantry battalion (approximately 1,000 men).
Resupplying front-line units was a multistep process. From ports and depots, supplies were first taken by railway to railheads. From there, CASC units were responsible for moving the supplies by truck or light railway to supply dumps. These operations took place in the third line of supply. Thanks to their small size, light railways could run and reach areas closer to the front lines more easily. It was also harder for enemy artillery to pinpoint them. The administrative area behind the front lines was crisscrossed by light rail lines that were built and maintained by Canadian railway troops.
From the supply dumps, the CASC's divisional train and ammunition supply column, both of which were horse-drawn, were responsible for bringing supplies closer to the front lines, to their respective divisions or individual units. This was the second line of supply.
Lastly, operations to supply front-line units constituted the first line of supply. These units had to come back to the rear to get their own supplies of gear, ammunition, weapons, technical and communications equipment, water, medication and food. These supply expeditions were carried out chiefly at night so that the soldiers could not be seen by the enemy. But assigning combat troops to this task meant that a battalion's defensive positions at the front would be short of manpower for a time and so vulnerable to enemy attack.
Toward the end of the war, however, a Canadian officer from Montreal proposed using the tumpline system — the method that Canada's aboriginal people and coureurs de bois had used to carry large loads on foot. Before the introduction of this system, infantryman had to carry supplies in their arms, thus limiting the quantity of materials due to their size and weight. The tumpline system, which involved the use of a head strap, allowed the soldiers to carry more weight and freed up their arms, thus giving them more freedom of movement. With this system, each soldier was able to transport a greater quantity of supplies and so fewer men were required for the job, leaving more troops to ensure the defence of the front lines.
Besides regularly providing drivers and vehicles to other units, the CASC also maintained and repaired its vehicles. It also had to make sure that the troops were fed, which meant that fresh and hard rations had to be allocated and distributed properly; its military cooks oversaw the operation of field bakeries and butcheries.
The CASC was not the only logistical support corps to play a key role in the CEF. The Canadian Ordnance Corps was responsible for procuring, storing and distributing uniforms, boots, equipment, weapons, ammunition and shells to combat troops. Specialized supply depots, located in the second line of supply, helped ensure more effective distribution.
The Canadian Ordnance Corps' other major role was to maintain equipment in the field. The repairmen in the specialized ordnance mobile workshops could get closer to the deployed units and repair their weapons, both light and heavy, as well as their equipment. If the mobile workshops were not able to do the repairs on site, the weapons and equipment were shipped to heavy or stationary workshops at the rear, where virtually anything could be reassembled or rebuilt. The small detachments of the Ordnance Corps worked closely with the various units of the Army Service Corps.
Despite the gradual mechanization of the war, horses remained a vital component of the CEF. The cavalry, the artillery and, of course, the Army Service Corps used huge numbers of horses right up to the end of the war. At one point, Canadians were using as many as 24,000 horses and mules in their overseas operations. Horses could often manage in places where motorized vehicles could make no headway! Inevitably, some horses suffered injuries or fell ill. The Canadian Veterinary Corps operated mobile sections to take care of horses; it also ran veterinary hospitals for horses, advanced remount depots and specialized basic provisions depots.
Other logistical support services also played a crucial role in enabling combat troops to get on with their job. The Canadian Postal Corps, for instance, helped maintain the morale of soldiers at the front, at the rear and also those convalescing in hospitals. Army chaplains, who constituted the smallest organized support group, provided religious services to Canadian soldiers of different faiths and offered moral support at difficult times. Lastly, despite the enemy's efforts to maintain a naval blockade by submarines, the Canadian Forestry Corps ensured that Great Britain, France and the Canadian Expeditionary Force obtained all the timber they needed to carry out their military operations.
Thousands of men served in these various organizations. The Army Service Corps, for example, counted over 17,000 officers and non-commissioned soldiers in its organization. Even if these units were not combat troops, many of them, including the Army Service Corps, played important roles in all military actions. One hundred and four members of the CASC were killed, and 363 were wounded.

Teaching Materials
Warfront: Building Bridges
Films : Canadian Light Railway Section 1, Moving Heavy Equipment on Muddy Roads
Background Notes for the Teacher
The movement of troops, rations and supplies was key to the success of the Allied war effort. Establishing and maintaining transportation routes were a daily concern: Roads devoured by mud created obstacles for soldiers travelling on foot, by bicycle, horse, truck or rail. Bridges had become casualties of war themselves. Engineers had to repair damaged structures or design new bridges with whatever materials were available.
Introducing the Subject
Discuss the role of transportation. Identify the ways in which people and goods move about the modern world.
Brainstorm what needed to be transported during World War I. (The responses should include food, water, medical supplies, munitions, troops and mail.)
What might disrupt the lines of transportation? (Establish the fact that engineers and soldiers had to re-construct any bridge or road that became impassable due to the ravages of battle.)
Teaching and Learning
View the films and notice the different types of transportation used by the Canadian Expeditionary Force (foot, bicycle, horse, truck, rail).
Study the footage that documents the construction of a bridge over a small channel of water.
Identify the truss bridge that relies upon the triangle to create a base strong enough to support massive loads.
Applying the Knowledge
In teams, design and build a truss bridge using spaghetti and white glue.
To simulate wartime conditions, limit the number of materials students can use (e.g. tweezers, scissors) and place a strict time limit.
Use weights to determine the relative strength of the structure.
Teacher Reflections
How well did students function as a team?
Did the spaghetti bridges incorporate trusses similar to those in the film?
Were the bridges able to support a "load"?
Did the activity provide students with a tiny glimpse of the pressures and frustrations soldiers must have felt constructing a bridge under the most trying of circumstances?

STAFF, parents, pupils and governors are celebrating Norton Fitzwarren Primary School's best Ofsted report in two decades.
Inspectors have graded the school as 'good', describing it as "a welcoming school that has made good improvement since the previous inspection".
Their report says: "The increasing number of pupils attending the school reflects leaders' success in regaining the confidence of the local community."
Norton head teacher Kirsti Nelson said: "It is fantastic to have the improvements that everyone – pupils, staff, parents, governors and the wider community – has helped make to the school recognised formally.
"Looking back through previous reports, the oldest one I've found is from 1999, when the school was graded 'satisfactory' and that remained the case until now.
"It's likely to be at least 20 years since the school achieved a better report.
"Being recognised as a 'good' school is an even bigger achievement for Norton when you take into account the fact that Ofsted inspectors have got tougher in their judgements and raised the bar on standards since we were last inspected."
Ofsted praised successful initiatives to improve teaching and the behaviour of pupils.
Chairman of governors Barbara Nadin added: "This Ofsted report is a great credit to the staff in particular.
"It confirms that all the initiatives put into place over the last couple of years have proved successful, and that we are on track to achieve our goals."
Norton Fitzwarren Primary School, where numbers have doubled in the last three years, is to have two extra classes of pupils from September and has applied to become an academy.

HOUSTON - A man was shot after a couple was robbed in the Museum Park neighborhood.
Houston police said a couple was approached by an armed robber as they left their townhome along LaBranch near Wichita Monday evening.
"It was around 9:30 p.m.," said Ken Nealy, a detective with HPD's robbery division. "The man was in the driver's seat backing the car out of the driveway, and as the woman came around to the passenger door, the suspect charged her and pointed the gun at her."
According to police, the robber fired his weapon but no was wounded.
"He demanded their cash and the driver gave him the $20 out of his wallet," Nealy said.
The robber ran away, but officers said the crime did not end there.
"As the suspect turns to run, he notices another man pull up in front of the townhomes off LaBranch to head home. The suspect shot him in the torso before running off," said Nealy.
The gunshot victim, who was sitting in a pickup truck, is in his 60s. Officials said the bullet passed through the victim's kidney and spleen. He was rushed to a hospital, but his condition has not been released.
Investigators said they only had a vague description of the robber, but he was last seen wearing a baseball cap and a light-colored, button-down shirt.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
