When I was in southern Ecuador I tried San Pedro twice. The first time I bought some from a guy in Vilcabamba and it cost a few dollars. The stuff was pretty weak, and I made the mistake of eating afterwards so the effects were minor. There was a minor feeling of giddiness, I had this feeling like I could talk to animals in the area (pigs for example), and the walpaper in my room sort of undulated slowly.
Then later I met a guy who was an American living down there and he used to make the juice from the cactus, and he gave me some of his batch. The stuff was much more powerful. I was hallucinating for almost a whole day. There was this weird feeling of comprehension--like a mole that I had remembered on someone's arm explaining why the wallpaper patterns were the way they were. It was a feeling like 'It's all so trivial--everything makes sense!' In a neighboring room someone was watching TV, and every once in a while a commercial would come on that played the FLintstones theme music. This induced all sorts of early memories and feelings.
 Sounds were sort of coming up and down, like you're slowly changing the volume of a TV. Also when I walked around my perception seemed to be a collection of still images--like there'd be a flash of my surroundings, then the next image I'd have moved a few feet. I talked to some friends that I had met and they said my sentences each alone made sense but they had no relation to each other. I can remember trying to express what I was experiencing and just drifting off and just letting it soak in. I had vivid memories of my childhood that I hadn't recalled I suppose since they happened. From time to time I would experience a memory of a friend from the states saying the phrase 'can't be bothered' in a sort of English accent. It was a very interesting experience.
Visually things were shimmering, rotating, morphing, changing colors, changing shapes, etc, etc.
I think I sort of bracketed the optimum dose--first time I took too little and next time too much. San Pedro is this big cactus that grows all over the place in Southern Ecuador. You cut it up into pieces and boil it for like 18 hours, while frequently squeezing out the liquid in the cactus. Eventually you're left with a thin green liquid.  Most people drink a bit then puke it back up. I was able to hold it down...perhaps that's why the effect lasted so long.
What's really amazing is that even though the mind is experiencing things in some completely alien way, it all gets recorded so you remember the feeling.

What is a class?
Suppose you have a library of songs that you want to organize. Each song has a set of characteristics including title, artist, length, and release date. By creating a Songs class, you can create an object for each song and define the behaviors of each song object. Let's begin by defining our Songs class...
Now we've defined our class and created our first instance method, initialize. Instance methods are just like the other methods that you've seen before, except they can be passed to and understood by every instance of the class in which they are created. So, when we want to create a new instance of our Songs class, we type something like this: song = Songs.new("Hotline Bling", "Drake", 240, 2015). This will create a new object (an instance of our Songs class), store it in the song variable, and instantiate it with four arguments. The def initialize instance method requires that the Songs.new method take four arguments: title, artist, length (in seconds), and release date (year).
Those funny looking variables with the @ sign are called instance variables, and they store information just like the local variables you're familiar with, except an instance variable initialized in one method within a class can be used by all of the methods defined within the class. In this case, we're initializing four instance variables and pointing them at the arguments that we receive when we call the .new method on Songs.
Now that we've created a class, defined its initialize method, and stored some information in instance variables, we can start creating methods that do stuff with our song information. For example, we could define a method that takes a release date and returns all of the song titles with the same release date. Or we could define a method that takes a single-letter string and returns all of the songs that start with that letter. Really, the possibilities are endless, if you use your imagination. What kinds of methods would you define for your Song class?

Spring Boot is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible, with minimal upfront configuration of Spring. Spring Boot takes an opinionated view of building production ready applications.
Built directly on Spring Boot's innovative approach to enterprise Java, Spring Cloud simplifies distributed, microservice-style architecture by implementing proven patterns to bring resilience, reliability, and coordination to your microservices.
Connect the Enterprise to the Internet of Anything-mobile devices, sensors, wearables, automobiles, and more. Spring Cloud Data Flow provides a unified service for creating composable data microservices that address streaming and ETL-based data processing patterns.
Developers are constantly challenged with choosing the most effective runtime, programming model and architecture for their application's requirements and team's skill-set. For example, some use cases are best handled by a technology stack based on synchronous blocking I/O architecture while others would be better served by an asynchronous, and non-blocking stack built on the reactive design principles described in the Reactive Streams Specification.
Reactive Spring represents a platform wide initiative to deliver reactive support at every level of the development stack—web, security, data, messaging, etc. Spring Framework 5 delivers on this vision by providing a new reactive web stack called, Spring WebFlux, which is offered side-by-side with the traditional Spring MVC web stack. The choice is yours!
Spring Boot is the starting point for building all Spring-based applications. Spring Boot is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible, with minimal upfront configuration of Spring.

Hi, my name is Cindy and I’m studying Web Design at Seattle Central College! I’ve been working on the front end of things for 2 years now. I like to spend my free time traveling outside the country, but since I haven’t been able to recently, I’ve filled that void by watching Youtube videos of street food.

Nyzo version 594 (commit on GitHub) includes only inconsequential code maintenance.
This version affects all run modes, but none of the changes are significant.
These changes, all minor maintenance, are being released now to reduce the size of subsequent updates. There is no need to update to this version.
In BlockManager, an unused import was removed. Imports are not typically discussed in release notes. This one is mentioned because it is the only change in the file.
In BlockVoteManager, an unnecessary null check was removed. An earlier condition already assured that vote was not null.
Synchronization was removed from BlockVoteManager.getHeights(). This method was already thread-safe.
In Message, a field was added to allow unsafe messages to be sent. This is used by some scripts that are not yet published.
In the NyzoStringType enumeration, the unused data field was removed.

Data
It is customary to generate data to fill into a page dyamically. Even though when you view a page's code, you may see a long table written hard into the page. It is often the case that either the page was created dynamically by the server (generated on the fly by a computer program) and then delivered to you as a text file or that the data was read from a source url and programmatically inserted into the page. This is especially true if the data is personal and specific to a profile.
There are many ways to achieve this. In this example, the data is being pulled from a url on the internet and injected into an empty table using javascript code. The version here is kind of emulating the process with two js files, but we will see various deployments of this as you progress.

We Love MOE Girls
问题描述 :
Chikami Nanako is a girl living in many different parallel worlds. In this problem we talk about one of them.
In this world, Nanako has a special habit. When talking with others, she always ends each sentence with "nanodesu".
There are two situations:
If a sentence ends with "desu", she changes "desu" into "nanodesu", e.g. for "iloveyoudesu", she will say "iloveyounanodesu". Otherwise, she just add "nanodesu" to the end of the original sentence.
Given an original sentence, what will it sound like aften spoken by Nanako?

Hit-and-down now leaves more shots because White's 65 hits on Blue's 11pt. Hit-and-down is weaker here because Blue has less chance of forming a prime when he owns his 4pt instead of his 5pt. Blitzing therefore becomes a more reasonable choice.

account, an announcement on your forum, and other acknowledgement from the community.
Winners will be voted on by five judges. The judges consist of 3 TechNet Wiki Community Council members and 2 Microsoft Employee SMEs (Subject Matter Experts -usually the people making the technologies). The judges will be looking for articles that are thorough,
technically accurate, visually clear (images might help, but aren't necessary), and well written. (Any community member can help with the "technically accurate" part by reviewing the articles below and either fixing inaccuracies in the article or commenting
on them--asking questions or suggesting fixes.)
**The articles must be written in December 2014 and must be in English.** However, the original blog or forum content can be from before December. Make sure you aren't taking credit for someone else's content (you have to be the author of the
original content and of the Wiki article). The categories listed are targeted to the most popular forums/technologies and ones that we are able to support. We will add more categories as we go (please don't add more categories, instead, leave a comment at
the bottom to suggest a new category).

Athletic programs starting at the High School level include a Strength and Conditioning component. We believe that youth athletics can and should develop these aspects of training. AOP has developed the standard for youth development for Physical Literacy, Mental Performance and Health/Nutrition.
Mastering the fundamental movements allow athletes to read their environment and make appropriate decisions. This will not only build confident motor control, but essentially prevent athletes from injury. We will also provide useful information for optimal athletic performance, including meal plans, nutritional education, and recipes.
Youth physical education and athletic programs lack the teaching of fundamental movement and sports skills. As a result, student-athletes lose the opportunity to participate in physical activity and sports. AOP’s forward-thinking curriculum will help open opportunities for them to participate in the athletic related activities of their choice.
Day camps, Week camps, Sports group training, 1-on-1 traing, and Team training.
To enhance the performance of student athletes by teaching them to master fundamental movement, develop foundational sport skills, sharpen mental performance while promoting healthy nutritional habits.
The Art of Play challenges and motivates student-athletes to push for new heights. We teach our students the proper technique for fundamental movement principles. Our Play-based FUNdamentals training is a combination of physical agility, mental conditioning, and just flat out having fun (Think Einstein in a jersey). With our enthusiastic coaching, and our positive training environment, every athlete will receive the level of attention required to improve his/her skill. We have experienced coaches in every major sport and we focus on complete athlete development. AOP is designed to help elevate your game for the next level. We are dedicated in providing to our athletes a fun and memorable training experience.

SEXTANTE algorithms (including models) can be executed as a batch process. That is, they can be executed using not a single set of inputs, but several of them, executing the algorithm as many times as needed. This is useful when processing large amounts of data, since it is not necessary to launch the algorithm many times from the toolbox.
Executing a batch process is similar to performing a single execution of an algorithm. Parameter values have to be defined, but in this case we need not just a single value for each parameter, but a set of them instead, one for each time the algorithm has to be executed. Values are introduced using a table like the one shown next.
Each line of this table represents a single execution of the algorithm, and each cell contains the value of one of the parameters. It is similar to the parameters tab that you see when executing an algorithm from the toolbox, but with a different arrangement.
By default, the table contains just two rows. You can add or remove rows using the buttons on the right hand side of the window.
Once the size of the table has been set, it has to be filled with the desired values
Whatever the type of parameter it represents, every cell has a text string as its associated value. Double-clicking on a cell, this string can be edited, directly typing the desired value. For most of the parameters, however, it is more convenient to use the button on the right hand side of the cell. Clicking on it, a dialog is shown to select the value of the parameter. The content of this dialog depends on the kind of parameter, and it features elements that make it easier to introduce the desired value. For example, for a selection parameter the list of all possible values is shown and the value can be chosen from them.
For all parameter cells, if the introduced value is correct, it will be shown in black. If the value is wrong (for instance, a numerical value out of the valid range or an option that does not exists for a selecion parameter), the text will be shown in red.
The most importante different between executing an algorithm from the toolbox and executing it as part of a batch process is that input data objects are taken directly from files, and not from the set of layers already opened in the GIS. For this reason, any algorithm can be executed as a batch process even if no data objects at all are opened and the algorithm cannot be called from the toolbox.
Filenames for input data objects are introduced directly typing or, more conveniently, clicking on the button on the right hand of the cell, which shows a typical file chooser dialog. Multiple files can be selected at once. If the input parameter represents a single data object and several files are selected, each one of them will be put in a separate row, adding new ones if needed. If it represents a multiple input, all the selected files will be added to a single cell, separated by commas.
If multiple bands are required, a more complex dialog is shown, which incorporates a table for selecting both layer files and bands. Click on the cells on the left side to select the file which contains the raster layer. Then click on the left side to select the bands you want to use from that layer. To know the number of bands in a layer it would be necessary to open it. However, SEXTANTE does not open the layer, and shows instead a list of bands from 1 to 250 to select from. If you select a band that does not exist in the selected layer, an error message will be shown at execution time.
Output data objects are always saved to a file and, unlike when executing an algorithm from the toolbox, saving to a temporary one is not permitted. You can type the name directly or use the file chooser dialog that appears when clicking on the accompanying button. This dialog differs slightly from the standard one, incorporating some additional fields for autocompletion.
If the default value (Do not autocomplete) is selected, SEXTANTE will just put the selected filename in the selected cell from the parameters table. If any of the other options is selected, all the cells below the selected one will be automatically filled based on a defined criteria. This way, it is much easier to fill the table, and the batch process can be defined with less effort.
Automatic filling can be done simply adding correlative numbers to the selected filepath, or appending the value of another field at the same row. This is particularly useful for naming output data object according to input ones.
Cells can be selected just clicking and dragging. Selected cells can be copied and pasted in a different place of the parameters table, making it easy to fill it with repeated values.
Just like when executing a single algorithm, when running a batch process that generates raster layers you must define the extent and cellsize of the raster layers to be created. The corresponding Raster Output tab is similar to the one found when running a single algorithm, but only contains two options: fit to input layers and used-defined.
The selection will be applied to all the single executions contained in the current batch process. If you want to use different raster output configurations, then you must define different batch processes.
To execute the batch process once you have introduced all the necessary values, just click on OK. SEXTANTE will show the progress of each executed algorithm, and at the end will show a dialog with information about the values used and the problems encountered during the execution of the whole process.


How Much The Blazers Are Reportedly Paying Carmelo Anthony
by Chris RosvoglouAfter missing almost all of last season, Carmelo Anthony is officially back in the NBA. He’s now a member of the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Houston Rockets cut ties with Anthony 10 games into the season. Rumors swirled about where he’d play next, but there wasn’t a team willing to sign him during the year.
Once the offseason went by with Anthony unsigned, the thought around the league was that he might not receive another opportunity.
Fortunately for Anthony, the Trail Blazers decided to sign the veteran forward in an effort to upgrade their frontcourt.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the Blazers will pay Anthony $2.15 million if he remains on the roast past a guaranteed date in January.
Since he passed his physical exam, Anthony is officially on the roster today.
Anthony will wear No. 00 with the Trail Blazers, which is pretty unusual.
Before the season, Anthony was on ESPN’s First Take to discuss how he feels about not being in the NBA. He made it abundantly clear that he’ll accept any role on a roster, which is something he didn’t want to do back then with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Portland hasn’t announced when Anthony will make his season debut, but all eyes will be on the future Hall of Famer when he makes his first appearance with the team.

Overview of the system:


Public Networks
Network identifier: public_network
Public networks are less private than private networks, and the exact meaning actually varies from provider to provider, hence the ambiguous definition. The idea is that while private networks should never allow the general public access to your machine, public networks can.
Confused? We kind of are, too. It is likely that public networks will be replaced by :bridged
in a future release, since that is in general what should be done with public networks, and providers that don't support bridging generally don't have any other features that map to public networks either.
DHCP
The easiest way to use a public network is to allow the IP to be assigned via DHCP. In this case, defining a public network is trivially easy:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.network "public_network"
end
When DHCP is used, the IP can be determined by using vagrant ssh
to SSH into the machine and using the appropriate command line tool to find the IP, such as ifconfig
.
Default Network Interface
If more than one network interface is available on the host machine, Vagrant will ask you to choose which interface the virtual machine should bridge to. A default interface can be specified by adding a :bridge
clause to the network definition.
config.vm.network "public_network", :bridge => 'en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort)'
The string identifying the desired interface must exactly match the name of an available interface. If it can't be found, Vagrant will ask you to pick from a list of available network interfaces.

Latest Routes
Below is a spreadhseet containing the latest route info for the Aviary. It's maintained by our setters. If you have questions or concerns, get in touch with them!
F.A.Q.
- Can I climb here if I've never rock climbed before?
- There are four things you need to do to climb here:
- First, you need to sign a waiver (you can do that in the Waivers section of this website).
- Second, you'll need to learn how to belay (see the Lessons section), and then pass a belay test.
- Third, you'll need rock shoes, a harness, and a belay device. You can purchase these from any of the many outdoor stores in Vancouver, or rent them on the cheap here at the Aviary (see Membership above).
- Finally, you'll have to buy a membership or pay a drop-in fee (see Membership above).
- There are four things you need to do to climb here:
- Can I borrow climbing shoes, a harnesses, and one of those clippy metal things while I'm climbing here?
- For $5, yes! (note that a rental is still $5 even if you're a member).
- Why can't I just climb in my Nike's? They're athletic, right?
- We do not allow non-climbing shoes on the wall. We do this in an effort to avoid coating our expensive climbing holds with outside dirt. Also, you'll have more fun if you use the proper equipment.
- Can I climb here if I'm under 16 years old?
 However, you will not be allowed to belay until you turn 16.
- What if I am under 19 years old?
- If your guardian signs your waiver, then yes!
- Can I climb here if I have never belayed before?
- Since The Aviary is exclusively for route climbing, you will need to know how to belay. We promise it's easy to learn, and we'll teach you! See Lessons above for details.
- I see a sign saying the gym is "full", what does that mean?
- This means that the current monitor on duty has determined that the gym is at capacity. This is typically around 18 people, but could be more or less, depending on how much attention those people require of the monitor (i.e. if the gym is full of new climbers all needing belay tests or extra supervision, a monitor can call the gym "full" even if it's not at maximum capacity).
- Do I need to take a belay test to climb here?
- You will need to pass our belay test to climb and belay at The Aviary. Since different gyms have slightly different standards, we're unable to accept belay certification from other facilities.
- I've been rock climbing since before rocks were invented, do I still need to take that pesky belay test?
- Yes. Our insurance agreement requires everyone climbing in our gym to pass a belay test
- What's this "belay-ing" stuff, anyways?
- Learn about what belaying is and how to do it in one of our lessons! (See the Lessons section above).
- What happens if I fail my belay test?
 Sign up for one of our belay lessons.
- If you've taken a lesson already, you might just need more practise! Ask a monitor for some tips.
- What do I do when I first arrive at the gym?
- Whether it's your first or millionth visit, always check in! Approach the monitor on duty and tell them you'd like to check in, or scan your membership card if you've set up that service.
- Why should I become a member?
- It'll make you cooler, you'll save money if you're climbing frequently, and you'll be invited to attend club gatherings.
- Can I just boulder here?
- Only if the current monitor on duty says it's OK. The monitor will make this decision based on the number of people in the gym, and how much supervision those guests require of the monitor. Always ask before bouldering – do not assume it's OK for you to boulder.
- Can I lead climb here?
- To lead climb at the Aviary you must:
- Pass a lead belay test (these may be administered for free by a monitor upon request).
- Pass a lead climbing test (also administered for free upon request).
- Check out a lead rope from a monitor (do not pull down a rop rigged for top-roping!!!).
- The route you plan to lead must not have a climber on either side of that rope (you cannot lead climb on a route immediately adjacent to another climber, lead or top-rope).
- Lead climbing at the Aviary is only really feasible when the gym is quiet and not crowded (seems like a rarity these days), so note that you may not always be able to lead, and you might have to come back multiple times before getting an opportunity to take a lead climb or belay test.
- To lead climb at the Aviary you must:
- Can I learn how to lead climb here?
- Yes! We offer lead lessons as often as we can. To register you will have to demonstrate competency to a monitor — to initiate this process, tell a monitor that you'd like to take a lead lesson.
- How do I take a lead test?
- Ask a monitor nicely if they can administer a lead test. You will need to pass a lead climbing, and lead belaying test to lead climb at the Aviary. These tests are free and only take about 10 minutes, but they will only be offered if the gym is sufficiently un-crowded to allow for safe lead climbing.
- Do you test lead climbing and lead belaying separately?
- Yes. And you'll have to pass both to lead climb.
- What's "lead" climbing, anyways? Where do you even find a piece of lead big enough to climb?
- Not the stuff they used to paint childrens toys with – think "lead" as in "leadership". This is a technique used to climb rocks that you can't walk to the top of (i.e. when top-roping isn't possible). Read more here.
- Why are the gym's hours so unpredictable?
- Our gym is run by volunteers who try their darned hardest to keep the gym open as much as possible — but sometimes life happens. We believe it's important that our gym be run by volunteers because it keeps climbing affordable, and it gives our volunteers the invaluable opportunity to learn by teaching, but one of the drawbacks is that the hours can change on short notice.
- The belay lesson is running late and the gym still isn't open, does this make it OK for me to be rude to the monitor on shift?
- Nope. Always be kind to our monitors. They're opening the gym to you for free out of the goodness of their hearts, so return the favour by treating them with respect.
- Who are these "monitor" people, anyways? Why're they all so strange?
- Our wall monitors are volunteers who know a thing or two about climbing and donate their time in order to make the Aviary run. Our wall monitors are rock climbers, and all rock climbers are at least a little weird, therefore our monitors are also weird.
- Can I be one of these "monitors"? Do I have to be weird too?
- If you think that you have the knowledge and are sufficiently weird, we're always looking for more monitors to open the gym! If you're free during a time when the gym is currently closed, please tell a current monitor that you're interested. They will write down your contact info, and will also likely provide a reference for you when we initiate our next round of recruiting and training.
- What's with all the weird wooden things piled against the walls?
- These strange wooden devices are created by rock climbers to help them strengthen their fingers in hopes that this will allow them to climb harder routes. If you also want stronger fingers so you can climb harder routes, ask a monitor how to use the strange wooden things safely (it's very easy to severely injure your fingers by using these tools improperly).
- A member in the gym is doing something that I think is unsafe, what do I do?
- Notify the monitor on duty as soon as possible. They will evaluate the behaviour, and approach the person if they agree that the behaviour is indeed unsafe.
- A monitor here is doing things that seem unsafe, what do I do?
- If there is another monitor in the gym that you trust, the best thing to do is to notify that monitor. If the monitor in question is the only one on duty and their behaviour seems to pose an immediate threat to others in the gym, contact AMS Security, either by phone or by visiting their reception desk on the first floor.
- Someone at the Aviary makes me feel threatened, triggered, or unwelcome, what do I do?
- If you're comfortable doing so, the best thing to do is to notify a wall monitor. If this isn't possible, but the other person's behaviour poses an immediate threat to the safety of others in the gym, contact AMS Security either by phone or by visiting their receiption desk on the first floor.
- Why do people get so worked up about the Fermi Paradox?
- Because they have too much free time and should probably spend more of it rock climbing instead of getting all worked up over hypotheticals.
- Where does climbing chalk come from and should I use it?
- Many climbers use magnesium carbonate (a white chalk) to dry up the sweat on their hands in order to hang onto climbing holds that are otherwise hard to hold onto. However, plenty of climbers choose not to use it to save money, to improve their skills, and because they don't believe it adheres to leave-no-trace principles. If you choose to use it, don't spill it in the gym. Also consider the environmental costs of consuming climbing chalk.
- I've heard bolts are unethical in rock climbing but I see a lot of them here. Explain that, Ben!
- When climbing on naturally occurring rocks, many people believe it is wrong to permanently or artificially modify that rock in order to climb it. However, our entire climbing wall is artificial, so most climbers don't have a problem with bolts here! Next time you're climbing outdoors, however, consider the ecological footprint of all the trails, bolts, vegetation damage, noise, garbage, and construction that is caused by rock climbers!
- I have a lot of strong feelings about the route setting here, what do I do?
- If you absolutely love the route setting, tell our setters (currently coordinated by Caleb and Alex)! It would warm their hearts to hear that.
- If you don't like the setting, you can make up your own routes with the holds already on the wall, you can contact Alex or Caleb and arrange a time to assist with setting, or you can just get stronger and stop complaining. Our route setters volunteer huge amounts of time to setting for no pay, so if you choose to provide them with constructive feedback on the routes make sure to also thank them for all the hard work they do for us.
- So what's the deal with crack climbing?
- All the cracks in the Aviary (those parallel sets of blue rectangles that snake up the wall), as well as the wooden "crack machine" are intended to be climbed by wedging ones hands, fingers, and toes inside and scootching upwards through much pain and suffering. They can be climbed without the use of any other hand or footholds on the wall, although it can be useful to learn how to climb them by first using outside hand or footholds for assistance.
- How do I climb a crack?
- ...
- Are any other kinds of crack allowed here...?
- At the Aviary we love cracks in the glass ceiling, cracks in the patriarchy, taking a crack at routes that you find challenging, cracking (inclusive) jokes, and even climbing at the crack of dawn. However, we do not allow crack cocaine or excessively exposed butt cracks. Keep your pants on and the drugs out.
- Can I aid climb here?
- No.
- Can I free solo here?
- Also no.
- Why does it smell like feet in here?
- All climbing gyms smell like feet, and ours is no exception.


Speech
Education Secretary speaks at the Association of School and College Leaders Conference about providing educational excellence everywhere.
Thank you, Allan [Foulds, President of ASCL ], for that kind introduction.
It’s fantastic to see so many of you here, and particularly to see those familiar faces from all the schools I’ve had the pleasure of visiting over the past 18 months.
Please do keep the invitations coming, because I can say, hand on heart, that the very best part of my job is when I’m able to leave Westminster and Whitehall, to see beyond the headlines, the statistics and the speeches, and to witness first-hand the fantastic work that you’re doing to change young lives in schools right across the country.
It truly is a privilege.
That leads me on to the first thing I want to say to you today, to acknowledge something which isn’t said enough, perhaps because it doesn’t make for good copy for journalists, or it doesn’t have the same appeal as eye-catching initiatives for politicians.
And that is this: the vast majority, more than 8 in 10 schools in this country, do a good or outstanding job; the vast majority of school leaders are tireless and passionate advocates for the young people they serve; and the vast majority of teachers are engaging and inspiring their pupils to achieve their all.
You don’t have to take my word for it, the figures speak for themselves. More children are joining secondary school with a better grasp of the 3Rs ; there are record numbers of ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ schools; and fewer pupils are leaving school and ending up NEET .
These improvements are being driven from the ground - by confident, innovative leaders like you, who’ve embraced autonomy to achieve truly remarkable progress.
The truth is, and I know it might not always feel like this, we are in a golden age of education in this country.
Expectations are higher, standards have improved, and outcomes are better than at any time in our country’s history.
That is worth remembering, particularly as we engage in the debate on how to drive our education system forward further still, because we start from a very good base.
At the same time, all of us here recognise that in a globalised world, where the young people you teach are going to have to compete for jobs not just with young people from the same town, county or country, but with their peers from across the globe, we cannot afford to let our education system stand still. We can always do more and achieve better.
Inevitably, my focus, and that of my department and Ofsted, must be on that minority of schools where the quality of education isn’t yet good enough.
After all, even if a single school isn’t performing as well as it could be, then hundreds of children aren’t getting the education they deserve and the chance to reach their full potential.
Children get just one shot at their education and we owe it to them to give them the best one.
It is, as I have said many times before, a matter of basic social justice - our duty and our obligation to the next generation.
As the Prime Minister has made clear, this is a one nation government - focused on unlocking real social justice and improving the life chances of those who so often have been left behind.
Education is at the heart of that agenda.
So yes, we need to do a better job; and by we I mean all of us - politicians, leaders and even the media - of recognising all that is excellent and inspiring about our schools today.
But we also need to be unapologetic about tackling failure where it occurs and be ready to give those schools who are struggling a helping hand.
In November in a speech to Policy Exchange , I made clear that my goal over the course of this Parliament is to spread educational excellence everywhere.
I don’t need to tell you that too many of those struggling schools are concentrated in certain parts of the country - many in our coastal towns and rural areas.
Simply hoping for improvement isn’t enough, because these areas are not only underperforming, but they also lack the capacity and support that they need to improve.
Quite simply that means that just by virtue of being born in one part of the country, a child is destined to receive a worse start in life.
Delivering educational excellence everywhere means ending the scandalous demography of destiny which has no place in 21st century Britain.
It means providing the means by which the innovation that has transformed educational outcomes in cities like London can spread across the country.
It means a zero tolerance approach to underachievement, no excuses for failure and bringing a culture of aspiration back to all our towns and communities.

Sure enough, politicians can make things easier or harder for you to succeed: we can make sure that you have the resources you need and that the accountability system we design leads to the right incentives.
But ultimately there is no substitute for good leadership.
That’s why, as a government, we are such firm believers in a school-led system, with great leaders in the driving seat.
Why do we want all schools to become academies? Because we believe that the people best placed to lead schools are you - the heads.
Why do we believe in multi-academy trusts ( MATs )? Because we want the best leaders to extend their reach to as many schools as possible.
Why have we stripped back the national curriculum? Because you know - better than we ever could - how best to inspire and engage your students.
All of our reforms are about bringing power, responsibility and accountability together in your hands, where it belongs.
Let’s dispense with this notion once and for all that somehow local authority control of schools led to democratic accountability.
Let me honestly ask you: how many local elections in your patch have been fought over the quality of education?
I don’t ever remember being on a doorstep and being quizzed on what my local authority was doing on local schools.
But that doesn’t and shouldn’t mean that the school-led system is about the government leaving schools to fend for themselves.
A school-led system does not mean creating a Wild West where schools compete in a survival of the fittest - far from it.
Instead, a genuine school-led system means the government getting out of the way and focusing on providing the scaffolding that helps those good schools to turn around weaker ones.
It means the government not meddling in schools or micromanaging the process but supporting improvement through schemes like the National Teaching Service , helping to build sponsor capacity and discharging our duty to hold schools to account on behalf of parents.
Having read the blueprint numerous times, I know we share a vision that is broadly aligned, where government provides a helping hand, but where improvement and innovation are driven from the sector itself.
Of course, devolving power from politicians to school leaders inevitably means more demands on leaders. If we’re to have a truly self-improving school system, then that means leadership itself must adapt and improve as well.
Already we see models of leadership adapting and evolving to meet the challenge of running a school-led system, ranging from the potential offered by MATs for young teachers to quickly accelerate to leadership positions, right through to the opportunities to become a CEO of a large MAT responsible for 30 to 40 schools.
And I’m genuinely excited by the potential offered by the work you, NAHT and the National Governors’ Association are doing on the Foundation for Leadership , which in time will see ever more leadership development driven directly by those who know what it takes to make a great leader.
For my part, I want to do all I can to remove the barriers to your success.
The heads I met before this speech talked to me about our accountability system. I want to be clear - I never want our inspection system to be a barrier to talented leaders taking on and supporting new schools. And I want to reiterate that just like every other commitment in our manifesto, when we said we will reduce the burdens of inspection, we meant it.
But there are other challenges as well, and I want to focus on just a couple.
The first, it won’t surprise you to hear, is teacher recruitment.
We know that recruitment is a challenge.
We hear your concerns, and we know that while headline data shows a sustained low national vacancy rate, the reality on the ground for many heads is that they are struggling to attract the brightest and the best.
Let me level with you. We have a growing economy and leading employers intending to recruit 7.5% more graduates than last year from a smaller overall graduate pool, so even with all other things being equal, we would face a challenge.
So we are doing all we can to drive recruitment and improve retention. And we’re getting more returners coming back into the profession.
Tomorrow I’ll be talking more about measures we’re taking to support part-time teachers and particularly women, so that our schools don’t lose out on their talent.
And later this spring, 3 workload review groups will be reporting to me on how to tackle the issues which have seen some great teachers leave the profession.
But I need your help to tackle this challenge.
By all means, lobby me about what more the government can do to improve recruitment and retention.
But let’s not inadvertently create a vicious cycle where talk of a crisis actively puts people off entering the profession. Let’s focus on communicating to the outside world what a great profession teaching is, how rewarding it can be, and what good teachers have the power to do.
I know that for some of you, funding is also a challenge, and here again I want to be as frank as I can. Compared to the rest of the public sector, the schools budget secured a relatively generous funding settlement. There simply isn’t, in a time of austerity, a magic money tree from which government can find more.
But I know there are pressures and it is indisputable that we are expecting you to do more with the budgets you have.
Those pressures make the introduction of a national fair funding formula even more urgent, and we remain committed to beginning the transition from next year - because it must be right that the same pupil, with the same characteristics attracts the same amount of funding.
We also want to help schools to reduce unnecessary costs. I know many of you have already used our school efficiency metric, and in the coming months we’ll be doing much more to help schools get the best value for money from their budgets. And there are many more areas I could discuss. I’m sure you’ll challenge me on some of them during the Q and A .
The long and short of it is this: achieving what we all want to see - a world class education system - won’t be easy. Striving for excellence means stretching ourselves.
For me, this is why I came into politics. Nothing makes me angrier than the thought of potential lost through lack of a decent education, which is why I want to play my part in building a system that delivers true excellence for all.
I know from speaking to you, that for many of you, your motivations for being teachers are very similar. We are all here because we want the same thing: to offer the best education we possibly can - one which values each and every teacher and extends opportunity to each and every child.
Your generation of school leaders has already achieved so much, and as I said before, this is very much a golden age for education standards in this country.
I can’t pretend your jobs will ever be easy and you know that, but my commitment is to ensure that government supports you as much as we can but doesn’t get in the way - so you can set about improving our school system further.
I’d urge you to seize that opportunity. Don’t be afraid to be bold, don’t wait for permission, and don’t be held back by fear of inspection.

If we are able to make a reality of the school-led system, then the prize will be great.
We’ll be able to build something that no country has yet achieved: a truly fair and meritocratic society, where life chances are determined by talent and effort, not the circumstances of birth - an end to demography as destiny.
Thank you for everything you do.
