UPDATE: 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 31
The size of the South Spencer Road fire has tripled in the last three hours, and officials believe it is human caused. It is now estimated to be 300 hectares in size and it is no longer contained.
Investigators are still working to confirm the cause.
The area of the evacuation alert has been expanded to include the entire area between the CN train bridge in Lytton north to the Stein River.
There is an evacuation order and alert in place for several homes in the area.
B.C. Wildfire Service advises the public to contact Lytton First Nation or the Thompson Nicola Regional District for more information on the evacuations.
There are currently no air quality advisories in place. B.C. Wildfire Service says 16 firefighters will remain on scene overnight to battle the blaze.
4:38 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 31
The South Spencer Road fire has now grown to an estimated 100 hectares.
B.C. Wildfire Service indicates on their website the blaze is now 25 per cent contained, with 53 firefighters, three helicopters and five air tankers fighting it.
It's now been classified as a rank three to four fire, which means it's moving at a moderate rate. The aggressive fire behaviour, according to B.C. Wildfire Service. is partially due to the strong winds in the valley. The fire is currently moving upslope away from homes.
3:46 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 31
KAMLOOPS - An evacuation order has been issued for 10 homes as a 17-hectare fire burns 2 kilometres south of Lytton this afternoon.
Fire information officer Kelsey Winter says the South Spencer Road fire, which was reported earlier this afternoon, Aug. 31, is displaying rank three behaviour, meaning there is some candling of trees. High winds in the valley are also an issue.
"Smoke will be visible in the surrounding area," she says. "At this time the (Trans Canada) is open."
There are 44 firefighting personnel on the ground with three helicopters and five air tankers assisting.
Rosalin Miles with the Lytton First Nation says the area under evacuation order issued today, Aug. 31, is the same area as the Cisco Road fire last summer.
Having another evacuation order on the same homes is hard on the residents right now, she says.
"We're waiting to find if they can get (the fire) under control," she says. "We maybe have to increase that order, but hope not to."
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has issued an evacuation alert for the west side of the Fraser River from the intersection of Lytton Ferry Road and South Spencer Road, south to the northern boundaries of Lytton IR 25 and Lytton IR 31, including 4279, 4275, 4265, 3960 and 3800 South Spencer Rd.
While the fire is believed to be human caused, the exact cause is still under investigation.

Holi delays kidnap probe
"Everybody will celebrate Holi, but what about these parents? Their life has been made colourless."india Updated: Mar 07, 2009, 01:10 IST
"Everybody will celebrate Holi, but what about these parents? Their life has been made colourless."
This was how Bombay High Court judge Bilal Nazki reacted when counsel for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said
the BMC would take a week to file an affidavit in the case of the newborn boy who was kidnapped from Sion hospital on January 1 this year.
Mohan and Mohini Nerurkar had approached the high court after the police had failed to trace their child who was kidnapped by an unidentified woman from Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital at Sion.
The court had asked the BMC if it was willing to pay compensation to the couple and counsel K.K. Singhvi on Friday said the municipal commissioner had declined.
The division bench of Justice Nazki and Justice A.R. Joshi asked the BMC to file an affidavit saying this so that it could pass appropriate orders.
Singhvi also told the court the BMC would not take any action against the hospital staff till the departmental inquiry was concluded.
When Justice Nazki insisted that the affidavit be filed by evening, Singhvi sought a week's time saying: "Officers are on leave for Holi and it will not be possible to file the affidavit before March 12."
The judges also rapped Deputy Commissioner of Police Sanjay Baviskar, who heads the special investigation team set up to trace the child.
On January 1, the baby boy was stolen from Sion hospital. The kidnapped baby was the couple's third child after two daughters.

OU Student Fights To Keep Hot Tub In Dorm Room
Over the decades since the college dormitory was invented, many unconventional items have been put, built or installed in them, but one Ohio University student has been basking in his accomplishment -- until now.
Senior mathematics major Kevin Lenahan installed a 1,800-pound, 200-gallon Aero Spa inflatable hot tub in his James Hall room back in February.
I didnt just do this overnight; I did my research. I looked over the housing code, and it wasnt in violation of health or safety (procedures), in my opinion," Lenahan told The Post newspaper. "Once I did my research, I knew it was going to work."
And it did work, for about a month.
"I leave my door open all the time when I'm in, and people will come over, some people I've never even met before with their swimming trunks and towels and they'll jump on in and that's how I meet people," he said. "As a matter of fact on the weekends, it's so convenient for me, I just leave the door open and people I've never met before come wandering on in and that's how I meet people. It's been very very convenient in that regard."
But on March 1, Residential Services decided the pool party was over and ordered Lenahan to remove the tub.
"It doesnt violate a particular rule; we dont have a rule that says, 'No hot tubs," associate director Judy Piercy told the paper. "But the auxiliary heater and that volume of water is not allowed in rooms, and anything that contributes to an excess of humidity is not allowed."
Lenahan says he intends to fight to keep the tub.

Interviewing & Negotiating
If you are invited for an interview you are already seen as a qualified candidate, so the interview is your chance to further convince an employer that you would be a valuable asset to the organization. Consequently, your performance in an interview will be the deciding factor in earning you a job offer. Research, preparation, and practice are the keys to a successful outcome.
Negotiation is the process in which two parties come to an agreement concerning the terms and conditions under which they are willing to do business. Negotiating involves using good communication skills - listening and speaking - as well as the ability to avoid making a false assumption about what the other party wants or is thinking.
See the information below for advice on successfully navigating the negotiation process. Be sure to check out the negotiation resources for helpful resources.
The type of interview you have can vary. Job offers are seldom made after just one interview so you may experience several different types. Keep in mind that each new person you see is meeting you for the first time and in most cases hasn't been briefed on the information you've shared with others. The following are two of the most common types of interviews. For more information, see this article on additional interview types you might encounter:
- Initial screening Interview: typically a personal 1:1 interview conducted by human or the hiring manager. These interviews are often used as a first round of vetting to determine who the best candidates are to come in for in-person interviews.
- In-Person Interview: can be done as a first, second, or even third round of interviewing. Primarily conducted by the hiring manager and others at the company that the position works closely with. They may include series interviews (speaking individually with several people in a row), or a panel interview (speaking with several people as a group).
The first step in preparing for an interview is to learn as much as you can about the organization, the job, and the interviewer.
- Check out the organization's website, their social media presence such as a LinkedIn or Facebook page.
- Google the organization's name for any recent news articles.
- Use your personal network and talk to people to gather additional information.
- We also offers resources for employment market research, including:
- Buzzfile.edu: a comprehensive employers-by-major resource.
- Glassdoor: Search millions of jobs and get the inside scoop on companies with employee reviews, personalized salary tools, and more
The next step to ensure your interview success is to anticipate questions and prepare to answer them. By preparing ideas in advance you'll avoid fumbling for answers during the interview; instead, you'll come across as poised, focused, and confident! Here are some tips for how to best prepare for an interview:
- Review Frequently Asked Interview Questions
- Review What Are Behavioral Interview Questions
- Review What to Expect in an Interview before your first interview
Prepare questions that you will ask during the interview. Asking questions demonstrates your sincere interest in the position, and is a helpful tool for gathering information you need to determine if this position/company is a good fit. For more help, read 51 Great Questions to Ask in an Interview
Practicing your answers aloud can be very helpful because the person who most effectively presents his or her skills is often the most successful in an interview. It's one thing to think about what you are going to say and another thing to actually say it and receive feedback. Review the Guidelines for Practice Interview to learn about the best way to set up practice sessions.
Look to your network to see if there is someone available to ask you questions. You can also schedule a practice interview with the CEC.
Dress Appropriately
The outfit you choose to wear won't get you the job, but it could limit your chances of getting an offer. An interviewer's attention should be on what you say, not what you are wearing. Check out these resources for further help:
Be Aware of Your Non-Verbal Behaviors
The positive impression you make in an interview is not just determined by what you say and what you wear. The way you behave can also work to help or harm the impression you're making. Remember these key tips when heading into an interview - over time they will become second nature:
- A firm handshake conveys energy and enthusiasm non-verbally
- Maintaining good eye contact shows interest and that you're listening
- Good posture enhances your confidence
- Leaning slightly forward when seated indicates interest
- Speaking with a strong voice level and inflection conveys enthusiasm
While many aspects of the job, such as benefits and start date, may be negotiated, most people are concerned with salary. However, being asked during the interview process "What are you looking for in terms of salary?" is not a signal to begin negotiating. The negotiating actually begins when you have been made a job offer.
Here are 4 steps to take before negotiating:
Acknowledge the offer
- Thank the employer and express enthusiasm for the offer and the opportunity to work with the organization
- Request the offer in writing and set up a time to reconnect to discuss it
Complete your due diligence
- Confirm in your own mind that the job is a fit with your interests, skills, goals, and values; review these questions to help
- Ask the employer for the position's salary range, if not already provided
- Research your market value and salary ranges for similar positions, industries, company sizes, and geographies
Know where you'll draw the line
- Understand what trade-offs you're willing to make, especially from receiving additional benefits like paid time off, sick time, employee discounts, flexible schedules, options for working remotely, etc.
- Know the minimum compensation you can or will accept
- Consider these factors in your review of the offer
Schedule an in-person meeting with your prospective supervisor
- It is preferable to meet directly with the hiring manager, but some companies may require you to negotiate with HR
- Set an expectation of a positive win-win outcome
Remember, this process is meant to foster a discussion. Approach this process with a flexible mindset and avoid making assumptions about what you think the company is thinking/going to say. Here are 6 strategies to use during the negotiation:
- Approach the discussion with openness, honesty, and flexibility; this is a chance to build a relationship - not go through an adversarial contest
- Reiterate your enthusiasm for the offer and the opportunity to contribute to the organization; by emphasizing the positives you're more likely to gain support
- Clarify the position and it's responsibilities; make sure you and the employer are on the same page about the role, tasks, and expectations for this position
- State up front all the issues you'd like to discuss; avoid surprises and address the issues one by one in order of priority
- Focus negotiations strictly on the situation at hand; emphasize your skills, experiences, and industry trends as they apply to the new position and the organization's needs
- Suggest alternatives on important issues; know where to compromise, keep a positive tone regardless of the outcome, and if negotiations get stuck try asking "how can we make this work?"
Once you've reached an agreement, request confirmation of new terms in writing, as well as any time you've asked for to review the updated offer. It can also be helpful to once more reiterate your interest in the position and joining the organization. Review the research and questions you worked on before the negotiations, and be sure to provide your final decision by the agreed deadline.

Across the country, people are creating art in honor of Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ginsburg, who died on Friday of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer at age 87.
A tireless advocate for reproductive freedom, equal pay, and women in the military, Ginsburg's influence was on full display this weekend through a variety of artistic creations. Some folks channeled their passion into paintings or drawings, while others took to less traditional endeavors like tattoos, baked goods or face masks. Some people even dressed their children up in costumes that resembled Ginsburg's trademark neckline and glasses.
"Notorious RBG. May she Rest In Peace," wrote artist Natoya Ellis, captioning a colorful piece depicting Ginsburg's face.
Artist Kristin Vaughn of Hillside Studio shared a video of the five-hour process it required to make Ginsburg-inspired earrings.
Artist Jen Herman Russell posted prints on her Instagram featuring silhouettes of Ginsburg's face.
Ginsburg's influence was spotted in embroidery as well, like in one piece that read "I dissent" in stitched letters.
Many people dressed their children and even dogs up as Ginsburg, sporting oversized glasses, statement collars and black robes.
YOU! Baby girl, never doubt the impact you can make on this world. Never listen to the doubts and the fears. Be strong. Be kind. Be you. You're ready for this fight.— KID (@akid00) September 20, 2020
All our love and support. You make us proud. #SundayMotivation #RBG #RBGLegacy #Ginsburg #RIPRBG #girlmom pic.twitter.com/mOPK5WnOMP
Ginsburg's face even popped up on several sweet treats across the country, as well. Cookies from Colleen's Cafe in St. Louis, featured on the shop's Instagram page, depicted Ginsburg's face, along with the word "Supreme."
Cakes were also spotted celebrating the famed jurist. This one, at the West Town Bakery & Diner in Chicago, featured several shots of Ginsburg wearing a crown.
Bakeri by Jess, a Canadian baker, posted cookies featuring a famed RBG quote.
Some folks at home also made desserts in Ginsburg's famed style. Instagram user I Can Cookie posted this one, a black cake with white dots mimicking the legal icon's robe and dissent collar.
Art that focused on some of Ginsburg's most famous quotes also appeared on social media.

There were also several dedications to Ginsburg in public spaces, like this one by artist Molly Wingland outside Ventura City Hall.
Ginsburg's face, along with "I dissent," was imposed on a building in Brooklyn.
Artist Captain Eyeliner posted several pieces of Ginsburg around New York, reading "dissent is patriotic."
Several Notorious RBG face masks also made their way onto Instagram.
A tattoo artist in Oklahoma City even tattooed "I dissent" in capital letters on her foot.

There are whispers within the business community that the Department of Labor (DOL) could move forward with plans to change the overtime law. How will the law change? How could it impact employees in Oklahoma? Here's what you should know:
The Minimum Salary Overtime Exemption
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay overtime to employees who work over 40 hours per week. However, there are exceptions to this law, including the white collar exemption. To qualify for this exemption, an employee must perform certain job duties and be paid above the minimum salary required by law. If an employee meets both of these requirements, he is not eligible for overtime pay.
The minimum salary is currently set at $23,600 per year, which means employees who make more than this may be exempt from earning overtime pay. In 2016, then-President Obama attempted to raise the minimum salary to $47,476. The business community was outraged by this decision since it would have made overtime pay available to millions of employees who were previously exempt. Although a federal judge blocked this rule from going into effect, many insiders believe that the DOL could make a second attempt to change it.
What Changes Are Expected?
Last year, the DOL asked for public input regarding the current overtime law. Within this request, the DOL acknowledged that the salary increase requested by former President Obama was too high. However, this does not mean that the DOL is not open to raising the salary minimum at all. Many people believe that the DOL will increase the minimum salary so it falls somewhere between $34,000-$36,000. This increase is not as significant as the one proposed by President Obama, but it is a step in the right direction.
How Will New Overtime Laws Affect Employees in Oklahoma?
No changes have been made to the current federal overtime law yet. But, if the DOL successfully increases the minimum salary requirement, thousands of employees in Oklahoma may qualify for overtime pay for the first time. It's important to stay on top of legal developments in this case to ensure you know if changes are made that could affect your pay.
Have you been denied the overtime pay you deserve? The attorneys at Armstrong & Vaught, P.L.C. will work tirelessly to hold employers accountable for violating your rights.

Use of the ONB Command DDB (Delete DataBase)
A description of this resolution:
- Use of the ONB Command DDB (Delete DataBase)
"Use of the ONB Command DDB (Delete DataBase) " resolves the following:
- Use of the ONB Command DDB (Delete DataBase)
Does anybody, out there, have any experience with problems that may be associated to the ONB DDB command.
We have recently experienced a problem whereby 10 DICs have been deleted and left a gap in the LF8 Concepts. Subsequently (possibly several days later and after more database - of different concept types - as been created) we have tried to load some more DICs. The TRBDS command has tried to load the new DICs into the locations where the concepts had been deleted - it managed to put the first one in.
However, the load failed with the error message: "Illegal Physical File - File not Defined" and "D/B Population - Database in disorder". TRDBS and CRDB for DICs now result in the same error messages.
To recover we are having to reload the entire node from Source Code, which, will take is most of the weekend because it is big.
I have suspicions that somehow DDB is to blame.

FARMERS, landholders, local members and industry groups have welcomed an adjournment of the debate on proposed amendments to the Mining Act 1971, following four Liberal MPs spectacularly crossing the floor in Parliament on Tuesday.
Member for Narungga Fraser Ellis, Member for MacKillop Nick McBride, Davenport MP Steve Murray and Kavel MP Dan Cregan voted with Labor for an adjournment of the Statutes Amendment (Mineral Resources) Bill debate until February 26 next year.
Mr Ellis said he reluctantly sat with the cross bench because he felt there hadn't been enough "meaningful" consultation with his Yorke Peninsula constituents on amendments to the act.
This angst was highlighted by the 50-strong contingent of YP supporters that converged on the steps of Parliament House on Tuesday.
"I don't oppose my party easily, but on the matter of farmland access rights and a mining bill that so closely resembles Labor's version presented this time last year during harvest, I felt I had no choice," Mr Ellis said.
"I was incredibly disappointed in the timing of the bill's debate, also scheduled during harvest.
"By adjourning the bill, we have time to pursue amendments that can strengthen protections for landholders against being forced off their land by mining companies."
Mr McBride agreed the lack of consultation left constituents "disenfranchised by the Liberal Party".
He hoped the government would take the time to further consult and negotiate with stakeholders on the bill and find a balance "that we don't believe the Labor Party did very well".
"We need a compromise, where landowners have some rights and miners have obligations to meet and somehow work with farmers," he said.
YP Landowners Group chair Joy Wundersitz said they mainly wanted to see changes to Section 9AA of the act, to provide farmers with the right to say no to mining exploration without a court hearing being "hung over our heads".
"If they just removed the option of a court hearing, most of our other objections would be gone," she said.
Grain Producers SA also welcomed the decision to adjourn debate until February, allowing more time to properly consider amendments to the act.
"We want greater certainty for primary producers through improved land access arrangements backed by regulation and do not support the Bill in its current form," GPSA chief executive officer Caroline Rhodes said.
"We will draft potential amendments to the Bill over the summer break, aiming to build consensus for our policy positions before Parliament resumes in 2019.
"We hope the Minister uses this time to restore confidence in the legislative process by improving consultation with industry bodies."
Mining Minister Dan van Holst Pellekaan said there was a "difference between not being consulted and not getting everything you want".
"Since the bill was tabled on August 2, there has been an enormous amount of consultation, including meetings in Maitland in late September," he said.
"But it is impossible to deliver everything that everybody wants. As the Mining Minister, I have to try and find the right balance between farmers and mining."
Mr van Holst Pellekaan said the bill was "actually good for farmers, but they want it to be even better for them".
"We are aware landholders want to improve the legal process when dealing with mining companies, so we have provided support from the small business commissioner, plus a range of up-front advice," he said.
"I'm committed to – as soon as this bill is passed – starting on the next phase of benefits for landholders."
Mr van Holst Pellekaan was frustrated that Labor said it would support the bill, but were now "playing politics" with the issue.
"Which means landholders will be delayed in receiving the benefits for them that exist in the bill," he said.
Opposition mining spokesperson Tom Koutsantonis said blaming the Labor Party for this was the "last refuge of a scoundrel".
"This is a war within the Liberal Party and nothing else," he said.

If you remain privy to G2 Crowd's blog, you know we recently wrapped up a series highlighting the "best" Tech companies in countries and cities around the world. Each list included anywhere from 8–50 organizations that are excelling in their location and industry.
Location is everything, and these posts are helpful for gauging the overall feel and culture of a city and its tech scene. But they leave out one specific question many readers may be asking: Which one will hire me?
In July 2017, Glassdoor released an article on CNBC written by Zameena Mejia entitled "The 10 best cities for getting a job in tech beyond Silicon Valley." It's no surprise that many of the cities mentioned are ones we included in the "Best Of" series. By combining these two lists, we can inform you not only of where to find work, but also where to find work with products and services users love.
[/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id="11″][cs_element_row _id="12″][cs_element_column _id="13″]
1. Seattle, WA
Seattle comes in first on Glassdoor's data-driven list of best cities to find tech jobs. Mejia's article states that, "from 2012 to 2017, Seattle saw a 6.7% increase in software jobs." This is the largest growth of any other city listed. Seattle is a natural fit for growth, as it's home to Amazon and Microsoft, two A-list celebrities of the tech red carpet.
The No. 1 company on G2 Crowd's State of B2B Tech in Seattle in 2018 is Highspot. This sales enablement company is currently hiring for various titles such as Services Executive and Director of Engineering.
Tango Card is another Seattle-based company, which offers rewards and incentive services. Tango Card is looking for professionals to fill rolls such as Full Cycle Recruiter and DevOps Engineer.

[/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id="23″][cs_element_column _id="24″]
2. Washington, D.C.
According to the Glassdoor piece, Washington, D.C. saw a 1.3 percent increase in software jobs from 2012 to 2017.
Mejia goes on to write, "While tech icons including IBM, HP and Oracle are hiring in Washington, D.C., there are an array of education-based companies such as Lexis Nexis, Cengage and Kaplan to pick from as well." Washington is the heart of our country's cyber defense and is known for prioritizing the safe exchange of data.
In fact, course authoring solution iSpring Suite is the first product listed in The State of B2B Tech in the DC Area in 2018. It's currently only hiring for positions in its Russia location, but its placement on our list fortifies Glassdoor's assertion that education-based companies are building out the D.C. area's job scene.
Contactually is a CRM solution currently hiring for Vice President of Customer Success. This product was a High Performer on the Fall 2017 CRM Grid® Report, and the company is looking for high performers to join their team.

3. Detroit, MI
"From 2012 to 2017, Detroit saw a 0.8% increase in software jobs," wrote Meija.
G2 Crowd's Best Of series did not include Detroit, but it's worth mentioning the city's software job growth, which Glassdoor cites as 0.8 percent from 2012–2017. Detroit tech companies include 24G, LevelEleven and Xpediter. Tech is relatively new to this city whose industry has long been automotive manufacturing.
24G is a "digital creative agency that innovates, inspires, and amplifies." It is looking for candidates to fill roles such as Software Developer, Amazon Digital Marketing Analyst, and Quality Assurance/Call Center Representative.
LevelEleven is a sales performance management solution also based out of Michigan, and it's looking for an Account Executive and a Web Developer. This company has a 3.4 out of 5 star rating on Glassdoor, with 74 percent of its 12 reviewers saying they would recommend the company to a friend.
[/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id="44″][cs_element_column _id="45″]
4. Denver, CO
Just below Detroit in terms of tech growth, Denver's software job market has grown 0.7 percent in the past five years. The State of B2B Tech in Denver and Boulder in 2018 highlights various startup weeks and coworking spaces, revealing this location to be a top hit for tech hopefuls and entrepreneurs.
Our top product on the Denver post is Bonusly, an employee engagement tool. "Bonusly is used by such companies as Oracle, Chobani, and Hulu," wrote G2 Crowd research specialist, Lauren Fram. "Users allocate points to their colleagues for good work, and those points can then be spent on rewards such as gift cards or days off."
Those interested can peruse open roles on Bonusly's about page.
FullContact is a contact apps solution founded in 2010. It's currently hiring for an Executive Assistant and DevOps Engineer, among other roles both in Denver and other locations.
Check out our original Denver post to read more on companies and culture.
[/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id="55″][cs_element_column _id="56″]
5. Austin, TX
The capital of the Lone Star State has seen a 0.7 percent increase in software jobs from 2012–2017.
WP Engine is our No. 1 product in The State of B2B Tech in Austin in 2018. The CMS tool has been labeled by the Austin Business Journal as a top place to work. Currently, the Austin location wants great minds to come be a Brand Manager, Senior Software Engineer, and DevOps Engineer.
Austin is also home to Bloomfire, a knowledge management solution. It's looking to hire a Product Manager to join its team of strategic thinkers.

[/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id="66″][cs_element_row _id="67″][cs_element_column _id="68″]
Glassdoor's list goes on to include San Francisco, Dallas-Forth Worth, New York City, Orlando and Raleigh-Durham, respectively. Unsurprisingly, these locations have all been highlighted in G2 Crowd's 'Best Of' blogs, which you can find in the previous hyperlinks.
This goes to show that great cities beget great people which beget great companies, and so on and so forth in an ever-evolving cycle. Where it's good to live, it's good to work, and where it's good to work, products and ideas will thrive.
While tech companies don't always have to be stationed within cities, they are often hubs of innovation and change. They're places where underdogs can find a voice and be heard in front of people who may have the power, or the capital, to make things happen. If you're itching for a career change, consider one of these cities, and one of these companies, to make your next home.

Bionic Commando Rearmed, a high-definition remake of the NES classic, hits both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live this spring. IGN spoke to Simon Viklund, creative director at GRIN, and Ben Judd, producer at Capcom Japan, about the project.
I read the Q&A, looked at the pics, and watched the video in HD. WOW, I loved this game as a kid. This looks like 100x better with the improvements. Just awesome! Now can they pickup the rights to Castlevania 3 and give it the same love or maybe Konami could catch a clue from this.

First post, by alexanrs
Hello everyone!
Recently I managed to build a nice Spitfire Duron system based on the one I had in my mid-early tens. The specs are as follows:
- Motherboard: PCChips M810LU rev 8.0
- Chipset: SiS 730S
- Processor: AMD Duron 950 MHz "Spitfire"
- RAM: 2x 128MB PC133 CL3
- Video: SiS 630/730 (integrated to the chipset)
- Sound: SiS 7018 (integrated to the chipset) - based on a Trident designed with hardware acceleration
- HDD: 80GB PATA drive
- ODD: LG DVD burner
- Operational Systems: Windows 2000 + Windows 98 SE
Yep, I'm using the onboard stuff. Back when I had my original Duron that is what I had for a while (until I got a hand-me-down GeForce MX 440 AGP8x), and wanted to have that experience again 🤣 Anyway. here are some pictures of the hardware. I decided to stick to a single IDE channel to reduce the clutter inside the case. My cable management skills are lacking, but I believe I did a good enough job 😀
My first issue with the onboard vídeo is that it does not support widescreen resolutions, so I had to settle for 1280x1024. Back in the day my Duron was hooked up to a 15" cheap CRT that could not go past 1024x768 anyway, so I guess I should not complain. Video performance is, by far, nothing to write home about, as expected. Seems stable, though, and I don't think there is a big performance difference between the Win98 and Win2000 drivers. Also, lowering the resolution to 640x480 makes it perform much better.
Windows 2000 benchmarks (yeah, I goofed on the last screenshot - CPUz is in the wrong tab):
As far as DOS goes - DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D and Commander Keen 4/5/6 seem to work fine. DOOM has this weird behaviour, though, that both in Win98 and Win2000 it will not update the screen correctly (kind of like tearing, but all over the screen), but in pure DOS it works perfectly. How odd. The analog signal quality is passable, but nowhere near Matrox quality levels.
The interesting thing about the SiS 630/730 chipset is the sound core. Unlike the SiS 7012 used in later chipsets, the SiS 7018 is hardware accelerated and not some dumb software-driven codec. It also has DOS drivers and a decent mixer. In Windows I don't really have anything to say except that I had no issues with the sound drivers. The WDM drivers do not support the acceleration features of the sound core, so I had to pass a parameter to the sound driver's SETUP.EXE to force it to install the VxD drivers. It features a software GM synth that is nothing to write home about, and the analog output quality is decent, but does have a faint background hiss.
For DOS gaming.... OPL emulation sucks. Like... really sucks. And in Windows the VxD drivers seem to fail to expose the software synth to DOS apps within Windows. GM works just fine in pure DOS. Also, the DOS drivers can be set to emulate either a SB16 or a SBPro and take about 30KB of conventional memory. It uses two files, SNDINIT.EXE and SNDTSR.EXE - the first EXE just initializes the hardware (and the mixer), and the second allows the emulation to work fully. Duke Nukem 3D crashes when exiting, and DOOM crashes in OPL mode (not that you'd ever want to use it). Since I have no capture hardware, I just recorded the sound of me playing DOOM for a while with GM, then trying to do so with OPL (and freezing the PC), them Duke Nukem theme song both in GM and in OPL mode. There are a bunch of missing notes when trying to play OPL tunes, which makes it ever crappier for Adlib games.
DOOM - GM.mp3
DOOM - FM.mp3
Duke3D - GM.mp3
Duke3D - FM.mp3
EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention. This board has legacy USB support, so both USB mice and keyboard will behave like their PS/2 alternatives. The only issue is that, in DOS, whenever there is a lot of mouse movement or key presses MIDI tracks will suffer some weird slow down. It works perfectly with PS/2 mice and keyboards.
One interesting thing, though, is that the MPU-401 interface (for external synths) seems to be separated from the audio core, and it is not even PnP (you have to choose the MPU port in the BIOS setup) and seems to not need the DOS sound drivers to be loaded, and that is very nice!
Wow... I can just say I'm having fun messing with this system. With an AGP card this could be a very nice mid-late Win98 gaming machine! I'm pondering which of these card is a better fit for this system: a Geforce4 MX4000, a Quadro 980XL or a Matrox G550.
Well, that is it. I just wanted to share my findings about this system. So, any thoughts, ideas or suggestions of things to try?

In 2010 I worked with Propaganda Games to design the UI on Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned. The game was revealed at E3 and announced for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The UI aesthetic was inspired by classic pirate looks; torn black sails, old parchment maps and hordes of treasure.
Torn parchment helped establish a really fun and thematic appearance in our UI. Learning how to create this look played a big role in some of my future UI projects, especially on Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season One.
On top of creating the UI graphics, I modeled and animated a variety of flags in 3DS Max for some of the more dramatic of the popups in the game, like the 'Discovery' flag below.
We drew inspiration for the icons from Disney style guides as well as from graphic novels.
The Quest Log was a real challenge to create as the pages had to flip convincingly.
Below you can see some footage of the E3 demo.

...waiting for the "right time?"
If life feels dull like it just plods along in a boring routine of mundane and have to's...its a great time to remember what is important and what you'd really love to do if you could do anything!...and take a step toward it....even a tippie-toe!
Today was the 17th anniversary of the day my Dad left the earth. In some ways it seems like ages, and yet yesterday. It just brought to my awareness the importance of having treasured memories and how timeless they are. Remembering happy times creates the feeling of connection with them, even in the present...interesting to explore...

text: The structure of the title compound, [La(C5H6O4)(C5H7O4)(H2O)] . H2O, consists of dense layers formed by chains of one-edge-sharing LaO9 (H2O) polyhedra, linked together by the glutarate ligand. The three-dimensional polymeric structure, built up through connection of these layers by the hydrogen glutarate ligand, exhibits cavities accommodating a guest water molecule. The lanthanum ion is tenfold coordinated by four glutarates, acting as bridging-chelating carboxylate groups, by three hydrogen glutarates, three times monodentate, and by one water molecule. Its coordination polyhedron is highly distorted and intermediate between a bicapped dodecahedron and a tetracapped trigonal prism. Hydrogen bonding links the two water molecules and the framework built up from this polynuclear coordination polymer. A very short hydrogen bond, D ... A = 2.484 (3) Angstrom, links the protonated with the deprotonated acid groups in the hydrogen glutarate. [References: 12] 12

|About this Recording
NA0066 - GOODBODY, J.: History of the Olympics (A) (Unabridged)
The Beijing Olympic Games were my 11th as a television commentator. All but the first, the Mexico Games in 1968 when I was employed by Independent Television, have been with the BBC. In all except Moscow in 1980, my commentaries have been on site. Then, the governing bodies of the sports on which I was due to commentate responded positively to the demand of the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that Britain should follow the lead of the United States President Jimmy Carter and boycott the Games, because Soviet troops were occupying Afghanistan.
Happily, not everyone felt the need to employ sportsmen and women as some sort of front line, leaving Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett and company to compete in Moscow, and me to work as the standby commentator in London, in case the far from reliable sound circuit of the time broke down. As a result, I was prepared for just about anything, with better immediate knowledge of what was happening than at any Games either before or since.
Many of the moments I most recall are included in this history of the modern Games. Some I saw; most I viewed only after they had taken place—frustrating but inevitable with so much sport happening at the same time. In all, I have commentated on over a third of the 28 different sports, though only briefly on athletics, when I covered the start of the marathon in Mexico City live for ITN's News at Ten. As a foreword to your listening I offer some thoughts on what the Olympic Games mean to me, and three memories of the days when 'I was there'.
The Sognam Stadium in Seoul in 1988 housed my happiest memory—Great Britain's victory over West Germany in the final of the hockey tournament. It was, as the team's coach David Whitaker put it, 'a moment encapsulated in my life which will never disappear'. Paul Barber, a staunch defender and a fearsome striker of penalty corners, spoke of the greater satisfaction of being successful as a part-time sportsman (a somewhat old fashioned thought even then), but the fact that victory was gained by the professional approach of a team of amateurs added to its endearing charm.
In the demands made on gymnasts in countries behind the iron curtain, two teenagers—Elena Shushunova of the Soviet Union and Daniela Silivas of Romania—were professional in all but name. In Seoul they produced arguably the most intense head to head competition of any sport in the Games; a drama of expressions off, and expertise on, the four pieces of apparatus, in a battle to win the All-Around title. The faces of agony and ecstasy as Shushunova, the last to perform, vaulted to victory by 0.025 of a mark have remained in my sporting portrait gallery.
The victory four years later, in the Games in Barcelona, of a lass from a small village in Western Java was rather more clear-cut. A Roman Catholic from the world's biggest Muslim country, Susi Susanti became the first Indonesian to win an Olympic gold medal; and in a sport—badminton—that her country adores with a passion which has to be seen to be believed. Sitting in the commentary position alongside Craig Reedie, the chairman of the British Olympic Association and a member of the International Olympic Committee, who had striven to bring badminton to the Games, I saw clearly what the victory meant to her and to those in the audience from her country. Even the General who was the president of their badminton federation was awash with tears. When Susanti returned home with her then boyfriend, Budi Kusuma, who won the men's title the next day, a million people turned out in Jakarta to greet them.
My visits to the main Olympic stadia, other than as a spectator, have been to commentate on the men's football final and the ceremonies. The former usually offers up a name or two who will go on to make the headlines—Romario, who scored seven goals in '88, and Carlos Tevez, the scorer of eight last time in Athens, being two examples. The ceremonies produce the biggest television audiences of the Games, and give the commentator the most homework. More often than not they are at least one act and one specially written song too long, but they are an integral part of the Olympic family get-together as each host city presents its history, its culture and its children—their past, present and future—built around the parade of the athletes taking part. While those competing on the opening day rarely take part, the experience for those who do offers a lifetime memory; gilt-edged if given the honour of carrying their nation's flag.
The entry of the Olympic flag, its interlocking rings on a plain, white background representing the five continents of the world joined in peace, excellence and sport, is for me the most moving part of the protocol; its raising to the strains of the Olympic hymn, composed by Spiros Samaras, bringing a tingling feeling of inspiration. The electric atmosphere has caused many an oathtaker to succumb to nerves and forget his words. In Sydney the chosen judge failed to commit his colleagues to 'complete impartiality'. Most people would probably choose the final lighting of the Olympic cauldron which, leaving to one side the desperate moments of waiting endured by Cathy Freeman in the Millennium Games, was for me far more dramatic when just a single runner carried the torch around the stadium.
In its darkest hour—the Munich tragedy in 1972 in which 11 Israeli athletes lost their lives at the hands of the Black September group of Palestinian origin—the Olympic ideal could be viewed as a source of hope in an uncomprehending world. In spite of all humanity's imperfections, including those of its own members, I believe it remains so.
I trust you will enjoy John Goodbody's History of the Olympics.
No sports event provides such a kaleidoscope of contrasting memories as the Olympic Games: the tiny gymnasts juxtaposed with the superheavyweight weightlifters; the speed of the sprinters with the endurance of the long-distance runners; the dexterity of the footballers and basketball players with the unremitting power of the wrestlers and judo fighters. Men and women, large and small: all have their place in the Games.
For anyone with a wide-ranging interest in sport, attending the Games can be a frustrating experience: one is able to see only a fraction of the events, almost all of which feature the world's most outstanding athletes. As it is, by devoting oneself to watching as many of the events as possible, one suffers a type of mental and physical indigestion at the end of the 17 days. It takes me several weeks to recover from this feeling of being sated with observing excellence.
I have reported on every Olympics since 1860, mainly for British newspapers, and I am often asked which was my favourite. I find this difficult to answer. So much is bound up with the success of one's own work, and affected by the conditions of that work and by the performances of the competitors, especially those in the British team. Sydney and Barcelona are always held up by the British media as their favourite Games of the last 40 years; but in the case of Sydney, in particular, this was because of the (partly unexpected) hoard of medals won by the British team. Probably the most adversely criticised Games during this period was Atlanta; but this was influenced by the fact that Britain only got one gold medal—it is always more rewarding to write about victories than trying to explain defeats, however narrow the latter may have been—while many journalists (although not me) had vexing experiences with the transport and communications in 1996.
Both Moscow and Los Angeles were spoilt by the boycotts: the 1980 Games seemed grey and sombre, while 1984 was too garish (not surprising given its proximity to Hollywood). Neither was satisfactory. Munich was certainly the most dramatic, largely because of the killing of the Israeli athletes by Palestinian guerrillas, but also because of other, highly publicised, events and personalities.
I have fond memories of all the ten Summer Olympics that I have covered, although naturally of some more than others. My appreciation has also been influenced by my proximity to some of the competitors, whose careers usually climax at the Games. Like Barry Davies, I have selected three special occasions, all of which have been chosen because of the rapport which I, as a journalist, had established to a lesser or greater extent with the individuals concerned.
Chronologically, the first occasion was in Moscow in 1980. 12 years earlier I had beaten (with considerable difficulty) a 15-year-old schoolboy in the London Area Judo Trials. This was Angelo Parisi, already more than 100 kilos, much of it across the chest, shoulders and width of his thighs. Holding him down was like lying on an earthquake. It was the only time I was to beat him; for several years, he used to hurl me round the Budokwai club in South Kensington, where we were both members. Although living in London, he held Italian nationality; but he switched to British citizenship, winning two European junior and two senior titles and an Olympic bronze medal by the age of 19. He then married a French girl and changed nationality again. When I went to work in Paris in 1978, Angelo was an established member of the French squad and again we saw much of each other. In Moscow he was picked for the heavyweight category, although he was light for the division. In the final he met Dimitar Zaprianov of Bulgaria. Angelo was losing with 45 seconds left when he produced one of his textbook throws, uprooting his hapless opponent with a movement in which he got underneath Zaprianov and threw him over his back, falling on top of him with the effort. As the two men landed, the mat visibly bounced and the crowd rose to its feet in appreciation of a spectacular winning throw. As Angelo said to me afterwards: 'Je l'ai baisé', which, roughly translated, means 'I screwed him'. Indeed he did.
Four years later in Los Angeles, Seb Coe achieved successive Olympic victories in the 1,500 metres, something that no one had ever done before. Recovering from illness, he had missed the key international races of the 1983 season, and there were doubts about whether he would ever recover his former eminence. I saw Seb win the Middlesex 800 metres title in Enfield in May 1984, and he was obviously making remarkable progress; but to retain his Olympic 1,500 metres would demand much from him, especially as his opponents included his compatriots Steve Ovett and Steve Cram—the World, European and Commonwealth champion. After finishing second in the 800 metres in Los Angeles, he was nicely placed in the back straight of the final of the 1,500 metres, following the pace of the Spaniard José Manuel Abascal. When Cram moved up to Seb's shoulder, the defending champion took off. Although Cram followed him, Coe had a lead of more than a metre as they entered the home straight. One waited for Cram's acceleration. It never came. Instead it was Seb who broke away, crossing the line as a clear winner. He then wheeled round towards the press box, his index finger outstretched, shouting: 'Who says I'm finished?' Underneath his amiable demeanour was the will of the champion that he was.
Fast-forward now to 2000 and a Saturday morning at the rowing course in Sydney. Steve Redgrave was attempting to be the first person in an endurance event ever to win gold medals in five successive Games. After their victories in Olympics and world championships in the coxless pairs, Redgrave and his partner Matthew Pinsent moved into a coxless four in 1997 and promptly won three more world titles, despite Steve himself being forced to take insulin for diabetes. However, in June 2000, the four only finished fourth at the Lucerne regatta. Under the guidance of their coach Jürgen Gröbler, they regrouped and came back fighting. At the final in Sydney, with Pinsent at stroke, they led from the start. It was only in the last 200 metres that the Britons were really worried, when the Italian crew began a charge for the line. The Italians got closer and closer but the British four held on and crossed the finish 0.48 seconds ahead. Then, in a typical gesture of comradeship, Matthew clambered over their crewmate Tim Foster and embraced Redgrave before tumbling into the Penrith Lake. All the while, I was desperately adding a few new paragraphs to my story to catch the last edition of the Times in London. I hardly had time to savour the victory. But I have had time subsequently.
Barely a month goes by when I don't recall at least one of these three memories, and for much of the rest of the time I am thinking of other occasions I have witnessed at the world's greatest sports event.
London is awarded the 2012 Olympic Games
After London snatched the 2012 Summer Olympics from the grasp of Paris, Daley Thompson, prince of decathlon champions, celebrated the triumph by wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with famous English victories in battle. Below the names of Crecy, Agincourt and Waterloo was the line: Singapore 2005.
As Thompson strutted round the conference centre in the Stamford Hotel, there were many rejoicing British officials who scarcely believed that London had won the vote of the International Olympic Committee ahead of Paris, the clear favourite. London achieved an astonishing comeback from what had appeared to be a losing campaign.
Paris had failed to get the 1992 and 2008 Games and the city was always the front runner to become the first one to host the Olympics three times. But it was opposed by several of the world's leading cities: Madrid, New York and Moscow as well as London.
Initially, London was struggling. After Manchester had failed to get the 2000 Games, the British Olympic Association (BOA) took on board the comment of one IOC member: 'We know you are serious when you come back with London'. And so the BOA planned a long-term strategy, eventually centred on turning a run-down part of east London into a splendid new park, studded with sports facilities, while also using many well-known tourist sites as a backdrop to other sports.
But there were questions on whether London could deliver the venues on time, because the rebuilding of Wembley Stadium had been a fiasco, eventually opening four years after scheduled. In addition, the 2005 World Athletics Championships were awarded to London, only for Britain to withdraw. Meanwhile, Paris had competently staged the 2003 World Championships in the sport that is the centrepiece of the Games.
London also changed its leadership, with Barbara Cassani stepping down in 2004 to be replaced by Sebastian Coe. Although Cassani should be credited with employing some talented figures to help with the drive to persuade the IOC that London could be trusted with the stewardship of the Games, she was not immersed in the Olympic sports. Her replacement was Coe, a double Olympic champion who had competed alongside several of the people who would be voting and was almost an adopted son of Juan Antonio Samaranch, the former IOC President and a man with huge influence among its members.
Paris, as the favourite, decided that safety was its best option and did little. However, London went on the attack and promoted the London Games as ones for the youth of the world. Whereas the French politicians jostled for position in Singapore, London emphasised the multicultural dimension of its vision for the Games. With the British Prime Minister Tony Blair individually lobbying the IOC members in private in his hotel room, a tactic never used before, and Coe delivering a mesmerising speech to the members, London's momentum became unstoppable. When Madrid went out of the voting before the last ballot, enough of its supporters, influenced by Samaranch's wishes, switched to London to enable it to defeat Paris by 54 to 50. As Wellington said after the Battle of Waterloo, it was 'the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life', but the British were again victorious.

Paralytic shellfish toxin synthesis is related to genomic sxtA4 copy number in Alexandrium minutum strains

paralytic shellfish toxin (PST)

Dinoflagellates are microscopic aquatic eukaryotes with huge genomes and an unusual cell regulation. For example, most genes are present in numerous copies and all copies seem to be obligatorily transcribed. The consequence of the gene copy number (CPN) for final protein synthesis is, however, not clear. One such gene is sxtA, the starting gene of paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) synthesis. PSTs are small neurotoxic compounds that can accumulate in the food chain and cause serious poisoning incidences when ingested. They are produced by dinoflagellates of the genera Alexandrium, Gymnodium, and Pyrodinium. Here we investigated if the genomic CPN of sxtA4 is related to PST content in Alexandrium minutum cells. SxtA4 is the 4th domain of the sxtA gene and its presence is essential for PST synthesis in dinoflagellates. We used PST and genome size measurements as well as quantitative PCR to analyze sxtA4 CPN and toxin content in 15 A. minutum strains. Our results show a strong positive corre ...

Tonight we had our first agility training after a looong winter break. After three months of doing only obedience, I thought Tillo would have forgotten how it works…. I couldn't have been more wrong.. I have got such a great dog!! :D:D From minute one he was concentrated. The trainer was also very excited, after every run he was shouting "You go girl! You've got such an awesome dog!!" So I have been walking around with a big smile on my face this entire evening.. I just had to share it! :D:D:D
We are now curled up on the couch together. I just love my boy

|If only David...if only
It's Thursday, which means it's another night of "Horror Classics" on TCM! Tonight's theme is the Undead. Here's the line-up:
5:00 PM - Horror of Dracula (1958)
6:30 PM - The Gorgon (1964)
8:15 PM - Plague of the Zombies (1966)
10:00 PM - The Night of the Living Dead (1968)
12:00 AM - The Hunger (1983)
4:45 AM - Nosferatu (1922)
Aside from the mythical Gorgon, the line-up is strictly zombies and vampires, and you can't go wrong with most of them, though I am of the opinion you could go wrong with the The Hunger, because it's a terrible movie that also has some very memorable scenes and effects. But the movie as a whole is pretty silly, and if you think I'm wrong I just need direct you to that ending, which doesn't make a lick of sense.
But as an example of the film's pros, I direct you to its opening credits, which features Bauhaus and the immortal song Bela Lugosi's Dead. Enjoy.

Do you want to learn four golden rules for business success? Read on to find out.
Daily, several startups in Nigeria and across the globe shut down for various reasons.
Running your business can ultimately take over your life. If you're not careful, it can have adverse effects on your family, friends, and even your health. You will probably neglect all these!
One important point to note is that business success is more about the grit and determination of the business owner and their team than the technology or idea involved in the business.
For many years, business success rules trace back to business owners, and these rules are still applicable today.
Although technology has improved in recent times, the vision, passion, and determination of the business owner continue to play a substantial role in the business's success.
After studying all the pros and cons associated with running your own business, there are four golden rules that I believe we all need to follow:
Click Here to Schedule a Meeting
Rule 1: Research Your Target Market Thoroughly
Regardless of your business venture, your management expertise, and so on, your company will not reach its optimum unless you have customers.
Your product or service must meet the demands of your target market for them to keep coming back to you.
These days, for you to achieve any meaningful business success, the purpose of your business has to focus on providing a solution to the actual problems faced by your target audience.
Knowing and defining your target audience will help you create more efficient and practical solutions to satisfy them.
Rule 2: Plan for Attracting Future Investors
Sometimes, we base the measure of your success on the potential of your business to attract investors. So ask yourself:
Will anyone like to invest in my business in the next five years? If so, why? Answers to these questions are vital in helping you attract future investors.
Most times, investors usually invest in a business that the owner has a track record of being a visionary. Being passionate about whatever venture they embark on and their determination to see it through.
Rule 3: Have Sufficient Start-up Capital
Your initial setup cost will be for your premises, equipment, and working capital. It is common knowledge that most businesses fail in the first three to five years because they've run out of working capital.
You either have sufficient capital, or you learn to be thrifty. Cut down on unnecessary expenses.
Rule 4: Take Qualified Advice
There are various skills needed for running and managing a business, and you can't possibly know it all. So take advice from your colleagues, trade magazines, and so on.
Moreso, when you are considering placing your business online, you need the help of a qualified digital marketer.Running your own business can ultimately take over your life, and if you're not careful, it can have adverse effects on your family, friends and even your health. Click To Tweet
Rule 5: Your Team (Bonus Rule)
Success is not a one-person show! As a business owner or entrepreneur, you need to surround yourself with a team of talented staff who are ready to go the extra mile in satisfying the needs of your customers.
At the hiring stage, you must select candidates ready to go to extra lengths and put extra effort to satisfy the customer.
Your team must love doing phenomenal work and churning out excellent products. They need to adapt to adverse situations.
As a business owner, you must also be willing to recognise and reward your team when they perform well. This willingness motivates them to do more.
Click Here to Schedule a Meeting
These are the basic rules for business success. They are the basic principles and fundamental practices behind successful businesses over the years.
Running a successful startup business is challenging. Hopefully, these tips will set you off on the right track.
If you are serious about establishing a professional online presence, then you must consider engaging the services of a qualified digital marketer.
Digital marketing is an easy practice, yet the many always-changing nuances and more excellent points take years to master.
These constant innovations are the reasons some businesses try to cut corners. Taking a DIY (do-it-yourself) approach in digital marketing and social media marketing rarely do well. They don't seek advice from a qualified digital marketer.
At Mauco Enterprises, we strive to help you grow your business online through professional, practical, and affordable digital and social media marketing solutions.

Public Sector & Defence careers
Education & Learning
What departments are responsible for education & learning?
A range of different government departments and agencies play an integral role in the formulation of education policy and the implementation of initiatives that affect how the public learns, how teachers teach and how students study.
If you pursue a career in this area, you could find yourself working for one of the following organisations:
- Department for Education (DfE)
- Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
- Skills Funding Agency (SFA)
- Education Funding Agency (EFA)
- National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL).
Why is education & learning so vital?
Since the birth of civilisation, education has been incredibly important to society. It doesn't matter which party is in power, education is always a major government priority. Way back in 1996, Tony Blair summed up the importance of education rather well when he said: "Ask me my three main priorities for government and I will tell you: education, education, and education."
The policies and initiatives that affect the UK's education system have an impact on teaching at all levels, including pre-school, primary, secondary, further and higher education.
These policies affect the funding that students, schools and teachers receive; they have an impact on the quality of teaching and they influence the amount of opportunities that are available for people trying to access education and learning services.
The Department for Education (DfE) is a relatively new central government department, which works "to achieve a highly educated society in which opportunity is equal for children and young people, no matter what their background or family circumstances."* This department has overall responsibility for the UK's education system.
However, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) also has specific responsibility for developing policies and schemes that influence the UK's further and higher education systems. Essentially, these guys aim to provide the public with the skills that they need to thrive in their future careers.
Both of these central government departments offer a range of full-time and part-time positions and every year they accept graduates through the Civil Service Fast Stream programme. Other external job vacancies within the organisation tend to be advertised on the DirectGov and Civil Service Jobs websites.
Funding in education is a major concern and, therefore, two government agencies are tasked with regulating the provision of funding for pupils, students and institutions, namely the Education Funding Agency (EFA) and the Skills Funding Agency (SFA).
The EFA focuses its efforts on the provision of funding for learners between the ages of three and 19, or the ages of three and 25 for those with learning difficulties and disabilities. The EFA is part of the DfE, so the graduate recruitment process will normally occur via the Civil Service Fast Stream programme.
The SFA concentrates on the adult learning and skills sector and is in partnership with BIF. It, therefore, handles its own recruitment process.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) was formed following the merger of the Teaching Agency and the National College for School Leadership. It is a government agency and has two key aims: "improving the quality of the education workforce and helping schools to help each other to improve."*
Effectively, this agency is responsible for making sure that teaching in UK schools is of the highest possible standard through the provision of world-class training and development. As part of the DfE, the NCTL also recruits from the Civil Service Fast Stream programme.
The government departments and agencies that we've already mentioned are supported by various other organisations that provide quality assurance and inspect the many educational institutions in the UK, such as Ofsted and the Independent Schools Council. For more information on careers with these organisations, check out the Education Regulation: Examining, Inspection & Policy subsector now!
What will my role be?
The civil servants that work in this area help to make the UK's education system the best it can possibly be. If you pursue a career in this area, you could be providing vital support to education ministers and policy-makers by conducting statistical or social research, and offering advice and guidance on the formulation of education policies.
Alternatively, you could be supporting the decision makers that regulate and control the education system through the provision of administrative or I.T. support, or by taking on a role in a corporate services department and focusing on HR, marketing, finance or legal work.
