The Belgian school system can seem complex at first, due to the variety of childcare and education options in Belgium that expat families can choose from.
In keeping with the myriad levels of national and local bureaucracy in Belgium, the schools in Belgium can seem a minefield to newcomers trying to enrol their children.
However, the education system in Belgium is well developed to serve international and working families. Additionally, childcare facilities involving play and homework are sometimes available at schools before or after classes for working parents.
In Belgium you can choose from state schools, subsidized or free private schools, bilingual schools, method schools and private and international schools. Finding a school in Belgium to suit your needs won't be the issue; instead, the biggest question will be how to choose the right school for your child's education.
In this guide, we cover the key topics in choosing the best school for your child.
Choosing a school in Belgium
The first decision you must make as a parent is whether to integrate your child into the local system or take advantage of the many international schools in Belgium. Naturally, this can depend on whether you are on a short-term contract or you are planning to stay in Belgium for the long term.
An international school allows your children to continue in the same education system once they return to their home country, while local schools help children integrate better into a new country.
Private and international schools also tend to offer more extra-curricular activities than public schools, although the government subsidizes some music and art academies in larger cities.
Finding the right school is often the key to a successful family move, particularly if one or more children are less than thrilled at the prospect of relocating. Parents may be impressed by fancy facilities, but, for children, a friendly atmosphere, after-school clubs, and the quality of lunches will be much more beguiling. Parents also want to get a sense of the school's community, which can be of tremendous value when settling into a new environment.
Applying to schools in Belgium
Schools in Belgium don't always have strict catchment areas, so parents can potentially choose any school location. However, this may also mean the closest school is full.
School enrolment periods differ between the two language communities in Brussels (i.e., the Flemish Community and the French Community; there is also a German-speaking Community located in the border regions of Liège) and the government revises admission procedures regularly, so parents need to check the admission periods in their desired school in advance to ensure placement. In some places, this may be possible up to a year in advance or more.
Children are assessed at every level, from pre-primary to secondary schooling, to determine if they are ready for the next stage in education. It is not uncommon to repeat a year, and there is no negative stigma associated with this.
If you choose a local school, new students may be required to prove their language proficiency in the school's set language, or at least have attended a local nursery part-time for a set number of days in the previous school year (nurseries are often attached to schools for easy transition). You can also ask to see if a school provides language immersion programs or try a language course for children.
When looking to join a Belgian school, ask about their support for learning the language. Is it a sink-or-swim approach or do they provide additional language acquisition support?
Types of schools in Belgium
Belgian state schools
While the state sets the laws regarding education, responsibility for schools lies with the language communities: Dutch (the Flemish Community) in Flanders, French in Wallonia, both Dutch and French in Brussels and some surrounding communes, and German in nine municipalities in the province of Liège (Lüttich in German).
Education is free, though parents may be expected to contribute to the cost of school supplies or field trips, plus textbooks when children reach the secondary level. All schools are coeducational.
As well as state schools, there are privately-run schools that are also subsidized. Religion often plays a part in state education and students can opt for Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish or Islamic studies. Others offer a more secular approach.
International schools
These are the top choice for parents who wish their children to remain in a familiar system, with a language they know, and with the option of continuing the curriculum back in their home country, or when they make their next international relocation.
An international school is often the optimal choice for expat families: it provides the softest landing for the children, minimizes any disruption to their learning, and puts them in a strong position educationally for any future move.
With its burgeoning international community, there is a wealth of international schools in Belgium – and Brussels in particular – following British, American, French, German, and Dutch education systems, among many others.
These establishments offer the whole range of education from nursery to school-leaving age, and some are among the 4,000 schools around the world to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.
The IB is arguably the premier curriculum worldwide. It is designed to nurture highly desirable learner attributes alongside excellent levels of content, knowledge, and understanding. The IB curriculum is highly portable – which is ideal for mobile families – and graduating students gain access to the top universities around the world.
International schools are typically private and therefore fee-paying, though many employers offer education support as part of a relocation benefits package.
Some of the most eminent international schools in Belgium include the following:
- St. John's International School
- The International School of Brussels (ISB)
- The British School of Brussels (BSB)
- The Antwerp International School (AIS)
- BEPS International School
- Da Vinci International School
- ACE of Brussels International School
You can also find more international schools in Expatica's directory.
European schools
The European schools traditionally required at least one parent working for an EU institution, although in recent years certain schools have eased entry requirements. Education is in the mother tongue, with a second language being introduced at primary level.
A third language is then obligatory from the second year of secondary school, with optional additional languages on offer in later years. Courses lead to the European Baccalaureate, which is recognised for university entrance throughout the European Union.
Method schools
A wide range of schools adopts the methodology of an educational philosophy. In these, children often learn through discovery and the liberal arts, with subjects such as grammar, mathematics, and science being taught from direct experience rather than in a formal setting.
The Celstin Freinet system follows this approach, while the Decroly schools separate the academic from the creative skills in a vertically-streamed organization, with younger children benefiting from the experience of older pupils. The Steiner schools place greater emphasis on the arts.
There is a selection of Montessori schools in Belgium, which teach children in small, focused groups according to the relaxed self-developmental Montessori method. Children are encouraged to work at their own pace and independently. This places a certain amount of responsibility upon children to develop their own learning, while teachers act as encouraging guides and facilitators for individuals or small groups.
These schools tend to offer a bilingual French-English education. Extra languages, such as Dutch and German, can be introduced as the children become older, though these tend to be taught more traditionally.
The Belgian schooling system
The compulsory school age in Belgium is six to 18 years. Children may start at age five if they are deemed ready. Pupils aged 16 years and older can also opt to study part-time while undertaking practical training.
Children can enter pre-primary education from the age of 30 months on the first school day in February or after any holiday period, and after age three they can enter any time. Typically, children start primary school in September of the year they turn six and enter secondary school at around age 12.
Pre-school in Belgium
Prior to formal education, nurseries are available for babies and children up to two-and-half years, after which kindergartens (kleuteronderwijs in Dutch, enseignement maternelle in French) provide daycare facilities for children until they reach school age.
This can be free, though mothers in full-time work are given priority where places are limited. The kindergartens are often attached to local primary schools, which allows for an easy transition into formal education. Expatica's guides on preschool and childcare in Belgium will help parents navigate these systems.
Primary school in Belgium
Children stay at primary school (lager onderwijs in Dutch, enseignement primaire in French) for six years, during which they study a range of subjects with an emphasis on languages and mathematics. Learning a foreign language will likely be part of the curriculum; for example, French is often taught in the Dutch-speaking areas, while Dutch or German are offered in the French Community. Homework is also part of the educational structure from early on.
The culmination of primary education is the attainment of a Certificate of Basic Education (CEB) for the French Community, the Getuigschrift basisonderwijs for the Flemish Community, and the Abschlusszeugnis der Grundschule for the German-speaking Community. This certificate is important when moving to secondary education.
Secondary school in Belgium
Secondary school (secundair onderwijs in Dutch, enseignement secondaire in French) progresses through three stages, starting off with general studies in the early years, after which students can specialise in general, vocational, technical, or artistic streams depending on individual choice and ability. Assessment is ongoing and rigidly enforced.
Several educational certificates are awarded, including the Certificate of Lower Secondary Education and the Certificate of Higher Education.
When students begin to specialize, their courses of study focus on one of four areas:
- General education: prepares students for the transition to higher education and is mainly focused on training theory and general knowledge.
- Technical education: similar to general education but focuses more on practice and technical teaching, preparing students for either a profession or further studies.
- Vocational education: provides direct access to a profession at the end of the course of study and is heavily focused on practice. Students also receive one or more additional years, called fourth degree.
- Art education: organised in exactly the same way as technical education, but the elective options are within arts and non-technical subjects. Students can go on to higher education in either a specialized institution, such as an art college, or to a university or college, depending on the subjects studied.
All these courses provide access to higher education with the obtainment of the certificate of secondary education (CESS), except vocational education, which must be completed to the seventh grade in order to obtain the certificate. Choosing between these four specializations is important for students aiming to pursue higher education in Belgium.
Most schools have a half-day on Wednesdays, though afternoons are sometimes dedicated to sporting or cultural activities. These can also happen on a Saturday morning.

28 great tactics for promoting online content
Your blog post or video might be captivating and inspiring, but unless you spread the word, it won't reach your target audience and beyond. Try these approaches.
Content distribution has been a big topic all around social media.
As Mark Schaefer's book "The Content Code" explains, "Great content isn't the finish line; it's the starting line."
We spend so much time and inspiration on creating our content, and then once we hit publish we forget that we must work to share that content.
Here are 28 tips on how to extend the reach of what you publish online:
Promote your content on social media
This is probably the first place we all go. You hit publish, and your automation tools push your post out on social media.
Then you forget about it and run off to the next piece.
Nope. There has to be more planning. The folks at CoShedule say having a social media sharing schedule will double your traffic.
Here's what they suggest:
- Upon publishing —Social media message is sent when blog post goes live.
- Same day —Initial social media messages trickle out to your accounts over the next two or three hours.
- Next day —Messages are shared again on the appropriate social media channels.
- Next week —Another series of messages are pre-scheduled and sent.
- Next month —Even more social media messages are pre-scheduled for the following month.
- Next _____ —Additional messages can be scheduled for the three-month mark or beyond.
Here's what I do:
- Upon publishing —Twitter: I schedule this through IFTTT to go out with #new, the title and the featured image once the blog is live. It's also pushed to Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Google Plus the day it publishes.
- Same day —Twitter: I'll use the Click To Tweet quotes to send out a few times later the same day, but by using the quotes versus the title these have different ledes (opening or enticing paragraphs) and don't seem like I'm pushing the same content over and over. (I try to have at least one quote in each post.)
- Next week —I'll pre-schedule reoccurring tweets over the next few days, and over the next two months from my personal handle (if it's evergreen).
- Next two months —Again, using prescheduled tweets with different ledes and different images (if there are any), my posts are hitting my personal feed for a good two months.
- Ongoing —From here I let Revive Old Post take over, which helps our evergreen content to "live forever."
Other tips:
- Changing your lede helps the content stay fresh; try to come up with three different ways to pose one title.
- Ask questions. For instance, for this post, I could change my lede or pose a question (depending on the platform and the space it affords) to say, "Are you doubling your content distribution efforts with a promo schedule?"
- Add hashtags to help searchers find your content.
- Tag people, and ask them to weigh in, but only if you have a good relationship; don't spam people.
- Use pithy quotes or stats from the article as a new lede.
- As mentioned, use Click To Tweet to create snackable, shareable bites.
- Reference your article—when relevant— in online conversations. Again, don't be spammy.
Promote your content to your list(s)
If you have a marketing list (and you should), use it.
Many people share weekly newsletters or several times a month. Use this as a vehicle to share your latest post(s).
Here's what I do:
- We have a monthly newsletter with themes, so I share a post from the prior month only if it fits with the theme we're working with.
- We have a subscriber-only blog email that delivers our blog to straight to inboxes. This is a highly segmented and highly engaged list. How? We give subscriber-only gifts— templates, workflows, tricks and tips—to those on our list as a bonus for the blog post's theme. In this email we have two places with ready-to-tweet links.
Other tips:
- Have an RSS feed set up on your blog so subscribers can add it to their aggregators.
- If you decide to take it a step further, as we did with our subscriber-only list, make sure those links tag your brand, use any branded/relevant hashtags and are trackable. We use Bitly and Click To Tweet's link generator to make this happen.
Promote your content through syndication
Our posts are syndicated through a few platforms, includingB2Community and SteamFeed.
This means nearly all our posts are republished on these sites with permission.
Many sites do this for free; some do it as a paid service, such as Outbrain.
Here's what I do:
- I research well-trafficked sites offering syndication (B2Community) and ask to be a part of the program.
- I vet offers from sites asking to syndicate my content (SteamFeed and a few others that are on a post-by-post basis). In some cases, I get paid to let other sites use my content.
Promote your content through advertising
As we ramp up with advertising efforts for our clients, this is an area I have to beef up in 2016.
There are so many ways to promote your content. Here are some of the easiest/most common:
- Facebook ads
- Facebook custom audiences (show ads to your lists)
- Facebook lookalike audiences (show ads to people similar to those people on your lists)
- Remarketing ads (Facebook or Google—ads that "follow" users with cookies)
- Twitter ads
- Google AdWords
There you have it! These 28 tips are only a starting place, but a solid one.

Anything But Civil
If the man who just shot you was also your only hope for treatment and survival, would you trust him? The two characters in this drama face exactly that problem. An Irishman serving the Union Army and an escaping slave meet, wound each other, and learn each other's stories—whether they survive or not gives us historical background and insights into the larger arena of the Civil War.
Using uncommon perspectives, music, storytelling, and period costuming, this historical piece asks the listener to weigh, consider and eventually to take a stand on the story's outcome. This is one of the more theatrical performances I do, accomplished here with a partner, fellow storyteller Khabir Shareef.
There are a few light-hearted moments in this tale, and many more that are harrowing. This is probably not a show for children younger than fourth grade.
Time: One hour
Bob Tales
Rough edges are removed from fine diamonds by skillful jewelers. Folktales are just like that—only their edges were smoothed by untold generations of storytellers whose names we'll never know! The result: cultural treasures for posterity.
If 'Once Upon A Time' stories are what most people think of when they think storytelling, that's ok with me. I loved them as a child. I loved them all over again, later, when I rediscovered them as an adult beginning to explore this profession. The way folktales encapsulate wisdom, enlarge cross-cultural understanding, and of course entertain—has kept me occupied as a teller and listener for close to two decades now.
This show gathers folk tales from around the world, often interwoven with music from a variety of music instruments that I play. Audience participation and programs tailored to countries of study are standard features.
The Circle
I was commissioned to research, develop, write and perform this piece by the Department of Natural Resources to celebrate Indiana's sesquicentennial (that's 75 years of statehood, for those of you who are as math challenged as I am.). That was back in 1991. After that season of performing the story of Richard Lieber, a German American immigrant and Indianapolis resident who is directly responsible for having created Indiana's park system, I went on to tour this show through the Indiana Humanities program called History Alive!
Today I do this show independently, as a performance that features audience participation in recreating the original auction held to secure the first parcel in the park system (in 1916—do you know what park it was to be? Here's a clue: They lost it to a lumber company at the last moment, but later secured it through Lieber's tireless efforts..)
Along the way a secret is guarded and revealed, an accordian gets played (by yours truly), and a sense of reverence for the healing powers the natural world and wilderness offers to us are conveyed and presented -- as well as the man who made it all possible.
Diggers and Dreamers
Indiana was settled, basically, because of a failed 'highway system' that none the less brought people in and transported goods out. The 'highways' were made of water-canals—and for a brief span of time they enriched a lucky few, brought opportunity to some and misery to many. The story of how the canals came about, who won, who lost, what the canals' lasting impact was and where they are today, is all wrapped up in this drama. In it I play nearly theatrical parts (while still maintaining a high degree of storytelling)—eight to be exact.
The story is part Canterbury Tales and part Murder on the Orient Express—for a murder mystery occurs midway through it. The audience is involved in solving it. This is the longest piece I do (nearly two hours, with an intermission), and, ideally, it needs a theater setting with at least some minimal lighting requirements. I first performed this in the late 1990s for the Indiana Historical Society as a commissioned piece in conjunction with Storytelling Arts of Indiana (Sharing Hoosier History).
Every Day is Earth Day
I've been lost in a limestone cave, trapped (whilst swimming underwater) between two giant limestone boulders, climbed limestone precipices and walked through limestone canyons. At some point I wondered: "What is this stuff, anyway?"
This show answers that question and more. Why? It seems most of us don't actually know where we are. I mean fundamentally. It occurred to me that if we all had a better understanding of this place where we live—the mighty forces that shaped it, the eons of time required to do so, the fragility and resilience of what we have—if we knew all this better, we would acquire an attitude of stewardship, respect and humility. Naturally. Couldn't help it.
So I let some of my more dramatic (and admittedly knuckle-headed) experiences co-star along with the elements themselves: Earth, wind, fire and ice. Drums, cymbals, rain sticks and wind, as well as audience participation, complete the story of the majestic forces that have formed our place on Earth.
Every Picture Tells A Story
Learn to capture the stories behind those old family photos before they slip away. I work with well-known photographer Bill Rasdell as together we take you through the steps to:
Bill and I offer this as a multi-visit arts experience so I guess it's closer to being a residency than anything else. We attempt to tailor it to fit sponsor's needs regarding time and funding. It is easily made into an intergenerational project with several final event outcomes to choose from. More details are available upon request.
Faery Gold: A Story of Irish Immigration
Bagpipes and fiddles. Leprechauns and drums. The Great Hunger and the passage over—all are contained in this story within a story, as a young boy meets his new neighbors and their unusual music and tales.
Immigration. Every family's story of how they came to America is different. Some were forced to come. Some chose to come. All were difficult. While this story focuses on one family of Irish origin and how it carried its strand of history and tradition forward, it is also a paean to all the families who've come to America and a call to discover, recollect and honor them.
Using my guitar and an Irish drum (bodhran) as accompaniment, I join my friends and mentors in Irish music, Jim and Kate Smith, to bring this story to life. They bring more than 20 years' experience in playing Irish traditional music on bagpipe, flute, penny whistle and fiddle. In Faery Gold their talents are showcased as we weave a compelling story together with beautiful, lively music to form a seamless narrative.
Time: One hour
Flights Of Fancy
What prompted this story was a request to assemble a program in honor of the hundredth anniversary of powered flight—that of the Wright Brothers. But flight is an age-old dream made modern. For the occasion I assembled and now tour a story with three separate flight threads: Orville and Wilbur Wright's endeavors; the mythic flight of Daedalus and Icarus; and a personal recollection about my childhood experiences with a neighborhood friend convinced that 10-year-olds could fly, too (and we did!).
This story moves back and forth from History with a capital "H" (the Wrights); to Greek Myth (with Daedalus); to history with a small "h" through personal storytelling with my friend Steve.
Funny, tragic, enlightening—and finally inspiring, Flights of Fancy is as much about how we can all "fly" in any field of endeavor if only we bring as much passion and devotion to our dreams as these devotees brought to theirs.
Time: One hour
Life is a Story
Personal and family stories matter. A lot. Properly remembered and preserved they can show us where (and who) we've been. They can serve as guides to the future. They can include and honor our intergenerational family too, both living and dead. Finally, they can also anticipate those to follow. Could we ask for a better way to help keep our daily struggles, triumphs and failures in perspective?
When stories of this type are shared, bonds are formed between teller and listener. Deeper understandings are forged. Marriages, friendships, families and communities all stand to gain. Could we ask for a better way to find common ground?
My first storytelling recording (1988) included a story called "GreenLeaf 14." It was a personal recollection about the elders who populated the countryside near the old farmstead where I lived in college. In later work I focused on five generations of the Sander family in a commissioned story, "Fathers and Sons;" numerous stories about my own childhood; and now, many more stories regarding parenthood and marriage.
The stories in this show trigger a phenomena you've experienced before: Imagine you're asked to tell a joke. You can't. It's not that you're unable—you just can't think of one to tell. Someone else tells a joke instead—and no sooner do they start to tell it than you remember one, too. Or several. It's the same with stories. Once the floodgate opens, the stories emerge.
This program stands alone. Paired with a how-to workshop or my residency offering "Tell It Write," it becomes an ideal way to begin a unit of study on how to collect, create and tell your own stories.
Whether for student assemblies, groups of seniors, families or festivals, Life Is A Story has something for everyone.
Notes From The Underground Railroad
Not all escaping slaves knew about the Underground Railroad. Not all Quakers who knew of it approved of it. Such is the case in this, a dramatic tale of two children from very different backgrounds.
Deborah Asante (with whom I've collaborated for many years—see Tapestry) and I wanted to represent unique viewpoints regarding what probably remains the seminal conflict in American history—the issue of slavery. Notes from the Underground is the first of a trilogy of pieces that examines this period. It will be followed by two additional works that track these characters into the Civil War period and after, into Reconstruction.
In Notes we follow the lives of two children and their families forced to reconsider what they believe and how they will respond as they are drawn in to the widening gyre of trouble and their two separate story lines become twined together.
Time: One hour
After more than a decade of performing solo I wanted to add collaboration to the mix—this was the first. Storyteller Deborah Asante and I draw upon our different heritages and styles to create a rich blend of storytelling. A Tapestry show features work in tandem and separately—to express what our 'threads' look like together and on their own. We draw from folktales from around the world, personal and family stories, woven together with humor, music, rhythm and audience participation.
While it's possible to tailor this program to specific study areas (for school programs), we generally let story choices unfold spontaneously, like a jazz riff, playing off the audience and each other. Expect laughter and philosophy. Expect memorable moments and quirky characters. Expect the unique and the universal. Expect it all in one program!
Time: One hour

Martin-Herold College of Nursing and Health
One of the first Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs in Iowa, the program was founded in 1969 to provide a professional education for students seeking a four-year degree.
The program's natural and behavioral sciences curriculum is enhanced by the liberal arts core of the college curriculum and continues the heritage of the Sisters of Mercy in serving human need. As they educate the student for general practice and community nursing, faculty members emphasize the leadership role of the professional nurse and foster an appreciation for lifelong learning through advanced education and continuing professional development.
The program is housed in the Donnelly Center with offices, laboratories and classrooms in close proximity. Students also have experiences in nearby hospitals and other health facilities.
Approximately 300 students are enrolled in the nursing major. Twelve full-time and additional adjunct faculty allow the faculty-student ratio of 1:6 in most clinical settings. Many agencies in the city provide opportunities for clinical experience in acute and community care. Students also provide services which would not otherwise exist in a parish nursing program, a transitional housing program and community health free clinics..
The baccalaureate and master's degrees are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. They're approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing. Students may enter the program as first year students or transfer students. Full-time or part-time study is available with flexibility in scheduling, especially for general education courses. An articulation program for RN-students who wish to complete a baccalaureate degree is also available in collaboration with Iowa Articulation in Nursing Education Agreement.

Watch a clip from his Drink Champs episode.
Irv Gotti has a very high opinion of Drake, as he expressed in a trailer for an upcoming episode of the Drink Champs podcast. Not only did the Murder Inc. co-founder continuously refer to Drake as a genius in the clip, he also suggested that the rapper's numbers would have been much bigger than they already are, were he active in the late 90s and early 00s.
"If Drake was in my era, Drake would be selling 15 million to 20 million a clip, do you realize this?" he said. "So right now, he sells three, four [million]. If he was in my era, he'd be selling 15 to 20. Once he does something outside the music genre, he's going to see how colossal he is."
Drake's VIEWS and Take Care have both been certified 4 times platinum, while Nothing Was The Same has hit 3x platinum, so Irv's math on Drake current catalogue is on point. However, it's hard to gauge just how much higher that number would be in a different era, particularly because we're talking streams versus pure sales at that point.
From there, Irv made a comparison to the biggest selling rapper of all time. "Drizzy for sure is a genius. Dare I say, he's our Eminem of today," he said.
For perspective, Eminem's albums The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show have both been certified diamond, or 10x platinum by the RIAA.
From the looks of the clip, it seems that Irv likely went into further detail later on, but we'll have to wait to hear the full conversation. One thing's for sure -- on a numbers level, Drake could definitely be argued as the most successful rapper of his generation.
In 2015, Eminem spoke of his appreciation for Drake, and other new rappers in an interview with The New York Times. "I try to stay up on everything that's out. I love [Lil] Wayne, Drake, Big Sean, Schoolboy Q. I love Kendrick [Lamar]," he said. "I just try to pay attention to what's out. Wayne puts out a new song, and my ears perk up. There are certain artists that make me do that just because of the caliber that they rhyme at — it's like candy to me. Kendrick, the way he puts albums together — front to back, they're like pieces of art. But hip-hop needs Drake, too. Hip-hop needs Big Sean. I feel like hip-hop is in a good place right now. There's this balance of things going on, and it feels like some of the best rappers are the most successful. Sometimes that's not the case."

TONIGHT'S Derwent Valley Council meeting will start with a 30-minute open session following a partial backflip on the recent decision to bar members of the public from council workshops. Until last month, members of the public were invited to attend the first half-hour of the councillor workshops held on the first and second Thursdays of the month, but this was brought to an end following acceptance of a motion from deputy mayor Ben Shaw at the April council meeting.
By the May council meeting, Cr Shaw seemed to have had a change of heart. "I moved a motion at the last council meeting to remove the public open sessions at workshops and also to change the workshop dates," he said. Cr Shaw said he had since had discussions with people who had suggested that 30 minutes be allowed for a public open session at the start of each ordinary council meeting.
Cr Shaw this was already done in the form of community forums when council meetings are held outside of New Norfolk at locations such as Molesworth, Lachlan, Granton, Westerway, Maydena and Bushy Park, and his proposal was to extend that opportunity to all council meetings. "That still gives that chance to all ratepayers to come along and have open question time with the councillors for the half-hour before the meeting starts," Cr Shaw said.
The proposal was seconded by Cr James Graham, who had been one of two councillors to vote against the removal of public participation at workshops. "I'd like to see this as a bit of a small win," he said. "I was in the room when it was clawed back from every Thursday back to two [and then none], and now we're back to one, but at least as far as I'm concerned that's an opportunity for people to have their say. You heard how I felt about the motion the last time and to me this is a bit of a small win ... so I'm voting for this," Cr Graham said
Cr Frank Pearce said the Local Government Meeting Procedure Regulations already required councils to have a minimum of 15 minutes of public question time and in the case of the meeting in progress at Molesworth the question time had gone for about 40 minutes. "I think there is already sufficient provision within the public question time part of the meeting to take all of the discussion without having to spend an additional half-hour as well. I will be voting against it because I feel we already have it covered.
Cr Paul Belcher said he had been happy to support the previous month's motion "for getting rid of the public session out of the workshops," but he thought the new proposal was a great idea. Cr Julie Triffett echoed Cr Belcher's remarks. "I think it's a great idea to take it away from the workshops and have it with the meetings," she said.
Cr Anne Salt, attending her first meeting, said if the open forum was available in every other district it should also be available when the council met at New Norfolk. "Yeah, I'm in agreeance because I think it's important for people to have the opportunity to come along and chat to the councillors before the meeting," she said.
Closing the debate, Cr Shaw thanked his colleagues for their comments. Addressing Cr Pearce's remarks he said public question time at council meetings was structured and rigid, with a set time available. "There's really no back and forth and I guess that's what we get to have at a public open session and what we're missing from some of the discussions we're having our workshop nights," Cr Shaw said.
When put to the vote the motion was carried 6-1, with Councillors Shaw, Graham, Lathey, Triffitt, Salt and Belcher, in favour, and Cr Pearce opposed. Mayor Martyn Evans was absent.
* The monthly council meeting for June will be held tonight (Thursday) at the New Norfolk Courthouse in Circle St. The public open session will start at 6pm followed by the formal meeting at 6.30pm. Anyone wishing to participate in public question time in the open session must submit their questions writing no later than 6.15pm.

When it comes to wood working plans you probably think you have two choices, draw your own or buy a set of plans. Well actually there is a third choice; you can buy a set of plans that are close to what you want and modify them to suit your needs. For example you might want a longer or shorter bench or a different size table.
Thankfully, there is an alternative. If you would like to turn your hand to woodworking and you do not mind a bit of hard work, then constructing your own items using outdoor furniture plans is the most cost-effective and satisfying option.
Cost – How much are you willing to spend? Knowing your price range will narrow down the choices to a more reasonable number. Remember that furniture should be treated as an investment, and as a priced investment, it should last for years to come.
If you are a handy person who likes to take care of woodworking projects, you can pay one low price & have all the plans you will ever need. By taking advantage of a package deal like this, you can ensure that you are working off the best outdoor furniture plans & have plans for other projects you may want to tackle in the future!
Style – there are so many styles and designs of commercial outdoor furniture to choose from these days. For instance, one can choose to purchase Asian-style furniture, most of which employ the use of uncarved wood, or the contemporary 'Live Edge' furniture that retains the natural shapes and textures of a house. This style is experiencing a growth of sorts according to Channing Gray's article in the Providence Journal entitled "Haute and Cool: Fine Furnishings Show Branches Out in 10th Year with a Bigger Spread of Classic and Cutting-Edge Pieces".
If you have shopped for any outdoor patio furniture recently you know the prices are outrageously high. In an effort to save money, many resourceful do it yourselfers are building their own. You can do this as well, but the success of your project and the amount you save will hinge on buying the correct outdoor furniture plans.
There are literally hundreds of outdoor furniture woodworking projects you can work on. Check out different types and designs from home improvement magazines, niche websites and local furniture stores. Learn which type of wood or style is best for your environment. For example, if you are looking to create lounge chairs for a swimming pool, you might want sleek ones. If you have a lakeside environment, you may want something more rustic. Acquiring a compilation of woodworking project plans would be a good idea. They are easily available online; a cost-effective way to stockpile on those woodworking plans, not to mention knowledge.
Almost all woodworking websites provide guides for a multitude of projects, both indoor and outdoor. Choosing the right project for your yard will depend upon what you hope to achieve and your skill level.

Anyone who has spent any time watching television or surfing the web has no doubt encountered the blizzard of advertisements by big auto insurance companies—from GEICO to State Farm to Progressive. Insurers compete fiercely for new clients, not just with ads, but with an array of discounts. Yet surprisingly few people ever think to actually ask their auto insurance company whether they qualify for one of those discounts.
In fact, a survey commissioned by InsuranceQuest.com found most Americans do not ask for car insurance discounts for getting married (76%), getting good grades (69%) or completing a defensive driving course (70%). Yet these and other discounts can save you hundreds of dollars a year through reduced premiums–if you know enough to ask.
Auto insurance discounts generally fall into one of three categories:
Let's take a look at each
You can be eligible for discounts through your employer, the credit union you use, professional associations and organizations you belong to, your driving history, and by taking defensive driver courses.
Membership and Employer Discount
Your affiliations and associations may be more connected to insurance than you realize. Auto insurers typically partner with large employers and professional associations to tap into prospective customers.
Insurance companies know employers are looking for ways to help their workers save on out-of-pocket expenses. In its 2018 U.S. Employee Benefit Study, MetLife reports that 65% of of the 2,600 employees it surveyed believe non-medical benefits help buffer out-of-pocket expenses. Forty five percent say having auto insurance as a part of their benefits package helps reduce their financial stress.
Although nearly half of the employees surveyed want auto insurance included in their benefits package, even if you have such a benefit, it still pays to shop around. After all, while your employer may promote an insurer's group rate offer as a discount and even allow you to have payments automatically deducted from your salary, it isn't paying a portion of your premium as it usually does for your health insurance.
Still, Metlife claims people have saved more than $500 by opting into its group auto insurance rate through their employer. So check with the human resources department for any partnerships your company may have and see how this discount rate compares.
Credit Union members may have access to group rates, as well. For example, Navy Federal Credit Union members, depending on their location, may qualify for a discounted rate through GEICO.
You can also inquire about discounts offered through other groups, such as alumni associations. Often you won't have to ask. The Rutgers University Alumni Association features its partnership with Liberty Mutual on its benefits page. You never know where you'll find an opportunity for a premium reduction. But always be sure to compare the group rate with what you might be able to get on your own.
Accident-Free Discount
Having a good driving history doesn't guarantee you a low rate. Insurance companies consider many variables when calculating your premium, including your age, location and what type of vehicle you drive. But companies do usually offer a reduced rate for those who have had no accidents, violations or claims for a certain number of years. Progressive, for example, will take up to 33% off your policy price for three consecutive years of no claims.
Defensive Driver Course Discount
If you don't have a good driving record, you may be able to take a defensive driving or basic driver training course to get a premium reduction. Travelers provides discounts of up to 8% for completing such a course, but discounts vary from state to state.
Your state's Department of Motor Vehicles can provide guidance on state-approved defensive driving programs. The National Safety Council, a nonprofit organization that offers defensive driving courses, has programs in 12 states including New York, Illinois and Texas. If you decide on an online course, make sure your state has certified or approved it.
Good Student Discount
Drivers who are under the age of 26 and still in school may be eligible for "good student" discounts. Some insurers require you to have and maintain a certain grade point average to qualify for the discount. For example, Travelers Insurance offers an 8% discount to students enrolled in high school or college who maintain a B average or better.
Taking advantage of student-related discounts is a must given the higher rates teenagers and young adults are charged. Insure.com analyzed car insurance rates nationwide for six companies and found that teenagers paid an average rate between $1,900 and $5,300. Those age 20 to 24 paid an average rate between about $830 and $2,400.
Military Discount
Military personnel and veterans can qualify for lower premiums. Geico offers members of the military, the National Guard or the Army Reserve up to 15% off their premiums. It also allows policyholders suspensions or reduction of insurance coverage for a vehicle while the owner is deployed.
Car insurance rates vary dramatically based on vehicle make and model. Companies look at the safety equipment on a model, how frequently it is stolen, how often drivers of that vehicle get into accidents and how expensive the vehicle is to repair when it is damaged. The most expensive models to insure tend to be luxury models and performance cars that are driven aggressively.
Insure.com's 2018 list of the 10 most expensive vehicles to insure includes five Mercedes models, a Porsche and three BMWs. By contrast, its list of the 10 cheapest vehicles to insure includes two Hondas, two Subarus, two Mazdas and two Jeeps. (When comparing prospective cars to purchase, ask your insurer how much each will cost to insure.)
Anti-Theft Equipment
Does your car have a theft deterrent system? Did it come with the car or was the deterrent installed later? These are good questions to find the answer to.
A theft deterrent system could be a GPS tracker such as LoJack or OnStar. There are deterrents that prevent hot wiring like the Viper LCD Two-Way Security System and then there's the ubiquitous transponder chip in car keys that prevent cars from starting with just anything that fits its ignition key switch. Once you identify your car's anti-theft equipment, call your insurer to see if if offers discounts for those deterrents.
For example, 21st Century Insurance gives 15% off its comprehensive coverage premium for theft recovery devices like GPS trackers. Nationwide offers anti-theft discounts based on the state you live in and based on the type of device you install. Geico says customers can get up to a 25% discount for anti-theft equipment.
Safety Features
Insurers care about how safe your car is, just as you do.
Older cars may not have certain safety features that are proven to prevent accident-related injuries. Those include passenger airbags and head restraints (those protruding cushion sitting on top of your car seats that helps prevent whiplash). These things seem standard today but passenger airbags weren't a mandatory part of car production until 1998. Mandatory head restraints have been around longer—since 1969.. That leaves a handful of older cars missing basic modern safety features.
Other safety features include daytime running lights and anti-lock brakes. If you'd like to hold on to an oldie but goodie car, take care to update the safety features and then contact your insurance provider to see what discounts may be available. If you're a State Farm customer, you could get 40% off medical-related coverage for retrofitting an old car with safety equipment.
Low Mileage
If you use your car less than average, you may be able to qualify for a lower premium. According to the Federal Highway Administration, the average American driver logs nearly 13,500 miles a year. But what qualifies for a low mileage discount varies by insurer and by state. For example, State Farm gives an automatic 5% discount for enrolling in its Drive Safe and Save program, which then provides up to 50% off on premiums for a car driven fewer than 7,500 miles a year.
Multi-Car Discount
Insurance companies provide a discount when you insure multiple vehicles. Amica, for example, gives its customers up to a 25% discount for insuring two or more cars through the company. It also offers discounts to individuals under 30 whose parents have been with Amica for at least five consecutive years.
Multi-Policy Discount
Bundle up to reduce your rates. Insurance companies want to reward your loyalty by offering reductions for having more than one policy with them. State Farm gives its customers a discount of up to 20% for taking out a home or life insurance with them. Make sure you compare the multi-policy quote to other companies to make sure you're not missing out on a better deal.
How-You-Pay Discount
Reductions exist for paying your policy upfront or opting to pay your bill online and setting up automatic withdrawals from your bank account. AllState gives its customers up to a 5% discount for enrolling in its automatic withdrawal program.

What is the most inspiring or satisfying part of the work that you do?
The most inspiring part of the work I do with EL is witnessing the result of highly nourishing professional development experiences for our warrior teachers who are engaged in the daily work of evoking scholars within the most challenging of circumstances.
To me, Crew is a cultural condition within which all community members can evolve into their best selves for having been equitably supported in the ways they each need.
There are many towns that I consider home which span Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and the Central Pacific Ocean.

If you're willing to develop and stick to a plan, it really doesn't matter whether or not you quit your job to pursue financial independence. Many people who achieve financial independence do so as a W2 employee. Also, financial independence doesn't mean that you have to quit your job. It just means that your job needs you more than you need them. This gives you an upper hand to be able to negotiate things like your salary, hours, vacation time, etc.
Early retirement is less for people who hate their jobs and more for those who have a clear idea of a different lifestyle or goal they may want to pursue. A good reason to retire early is that you have an alternate vision for your life that you are eager to pursue but which you can't pursue while employed full time. This is my reason for it. As much as I can try and inspire you to achieve this and provide a road map along with a mindset change to do so you yourself will have to figure out WHAT you want to do after achieving financial independence.
Yes, some people who have achieved FIRE firmly believe that anyone can do it. If you can't, they argue it's because you're not saving or cutting back enough. That doesn't quite make logical sense when job growth is still lagging in some states and wages are stagnant nearly everywhere, though. I want to make sure that we recognize that the ability to put distance between your income and your spending is often a privilege. While financial independence does require cutting back on expenses, it also requires a decent income. That said, many others in the FIRE community acknowledge this. So I want to make sure that we recognize that the ability to put distance between your income and your spending is often a privilege. It's not realistic to think that everyone can save enough to retire early in a country that doesn't value a lot of professions or commit to a living wage.
So while plenty of folks have become financially independent without earning six figures earning more certainly helps speed things along. As we go through our journey together I will start to introduce different "side hustles" that you can start to do in order to increase your income.

Manage quality and compliance across your supply chain with a Quality Business Network (QBN). See how manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors can collaborate in a seamless and integrated environment. Lower risks, increase efficiency, and keep consumers safe. Learn more at our main Quality Business Network page .
Thanks for reporting a problem. We'll attach technical data about this session to help us figure out the issue. Which of these best describes the problem?
Any other details or context?
Today's manufacturers are challenged with globalization, evolving compliance requirements, increasing product complexity, M&A activity, and the constant need to deliver financial results. The increase in outsourcing and offshoring is further complicating the management of quality risk. Manufacturers must identify quality issues as early as possible in the product lifecycle.
Companies that fail to catch quality issues before a product reaches market face a potential recall, which can cost millions and negatively affect brand value. Effective quality management requires visibility to identify issues as early as possible, traceability to understand the root cause and source for quality issues, accountability of supply chain partners, and collaboration with partners in the extended quality ecosystem.
Manufacturers and suppliers must connect, interact, and integrate on previously unknown and unexpected levels. This heightened need for communication and collaboration is fueling the emergence of a virtual network where small and large manufacturers alike can look beyond their four walls for more efficient and more powerful means of insuring product quality and safety.
With over 20 years of experience and a network of 825,000 users from across 30 countries, Sparta Systems is uniquely positioned to established the quality business network through a portfolio of technology solutions that connect internal quality processes to quality ecosystem partners.
Let's see the quality business network in action. Connecting you to all quality ecosystem stakeholders, our suite of applications is designed for the way you work. Customers contact a manufacturer's call center about a product issue. The call center agent uses 123Compliance to capture the inquiry. He is guided through a workflow to close the inquiry or to escalate to a complaint.
The escalation automatically triggers an investigation record into the manufacturer's TrackWise EQMS. Investigation status and summary can then be managed with a complete audit trail. Following root cause analysis, the manufacturer creates a supplier investigation record that references the issue, priority, and response due date. The request is delivered through Stratas supplier collaboration.
In Stratas, the supplier views the record and any attached documents. The investigation is then documented with a corrective action. The record is then marked complete and submitted back to the manufacturer. Through TrackWise, the manufacturer has complete visibility and can review and approve the supplier response. At any time, manufacturers and/or suppliers can use QualityView to report and analyze reports and trends, turning quality data into insight and action.
Whether you are a manufacturer, supplier, or both, the quality business network enabled by Sparta Systems delivers visibility, connectivity, efficiency, and a richer user experience. Learn how Sparta Systems can help you manage quality. Take advantage of the quality business network today.

My recent work on paper is about climate change and the fragility of our planet. I've been upcycling outdated maps, atlases and old imagery from National Geographic. Over more than a thousand issues dating back to 1960, pollution of all kinds crept into the coverage; it spread until it became our new normal of floods, chemical rivers, salt deserts and melting icebergs.
While some try to mend and make do, others dream of Mars- or Escape to the Moon.

A Taos man with multiple felony convictions, a history as a fugitive and pending charges for allegedly battering his girlfriend, newborn baby and a …
Clarification appended
A Taos man with multiple felony convictions, a history as a fugitive and pending charges for allegedly battering his girlfriend, newborn baby and a healthcare worker at Holy Cross Hospital was recently granted release from prison, where he had been held pending the resolution of several cases filed against him in Taos County.
After Rafael Orozco and his brother, Cristian Orozco, allegedly assaulted and threatened to kill a jailer at the Taos County Adult Detention Center last fall, Taos District Court Judge Sarah Backus approved a preventive detention order that sentenced Rafael Orozco to just under a year in prison at Lea County Correctional Facility in September on two prior convictions, to be followed by one year of parole. Preventive detention orders are used to keep defendants from committing further crimes and to ensure the safety of the public, concerns that have been raised more than once as Orozco's cases have been processed.
Orozco, who is now 24, served about nine months before his attorney, Ray Floersheim, filed a motion arguing for his release. Despite the state's efforts to block the motion, Backus ruled in its favor June 19 and set a $10,000 cash or surety bond.
In the motion, Floersheim, who runs a private practice in Raton, primarily cited Rule 5-409, which defines rules surrounding the release of defendants before trial in New Mexico.
The rule underwent a revision in 2016 when voters passed an amendment to the state constitution that further defined the criteria litigators would have to produce to prove a defendant should be held until trial. In New Mexico, a defendant must be clearly shown to be a flight risk or a danger to the community, and cannot be held due to their financial inability to post a secured bond.
To some, the revision has proven favorable for defendants, while others argued that the revision merely provided a clarification to existing an existing law already in practice throughout the state.
In its response, 8th Judicial District Attorney Tim Hasson cited Orozco's history of failing to appear and a list of cases filed against him over the past several years.
Hasson noted that last July, Orozco violated his conditions of release and failed to appear in court for a hearing. A month later, Orozco again failed to appear for a court hearing after his bond had been set at $10,000 cash. Orozco was later arrested on a warrant.
The defendant's history of failing to cooperate with the courts goes back further.
While facing two other cases in 2013 - for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a civilian and battery against a New Mexico State Police Officer in Taos - Orozco again violated his conditions of release and fled to Richfield City, Utah, where he was later arrested on another warrant.
By the end of 2015, Orozco had pleaded guilty to one count in each case but was soon released back into the community.
On Sept. 21, 2016, Holy Cross initiated a lockdown when Orozco allegedly punched his girlfriend as she breastfed his newborn child in front of a male doctor. Orozco then allegedly grabbed the mother by the throat and slapped the baby, which had been born only hours earlier at the hospital.
Orozco fled capture after the incident, but he was arrested in Río Arriba County in December 2016.
About a month into his stay at the Taos County jail, he picked up other charges, for obtaining Suboxone, a prescribed opioid, in the jail and then pulling a fire alarm. Less than a year later, Orozco and his brother would be charged with assaulting a female jailer.
A global plea - one meant to resolve Orozco's multiple pending cases - was discussed by both parties last fall, but was put on hold after an outburst from the defendant in court. In another instance, Orozco refused to speak with his defense attorney about his case, according to court records. He was subsequently ordered a mental health evaluation to ensure he could understand the proceedings in his cases.
"The defendant currently faces serious felony charges in three pending cases, and has three prior felony convictions," Hasson wrote at the end of the response. "For all the aforementioned reasons, the defendant is a serious flight risk."
The defendant's history, however, did not change Backus' decision.
Ron Olsen, Deputy District Attorney at the Taos district attorney's office, called Backus' decision "unfortunate" in an email this week.
Orozco's next court date had not yet been scheduled as of press time Wednesday (July 11).
The amendment to Rule 5-409 was passed by voters in 2016 and went into effect in 2017. In 2015, New Mexico's Ad Hoc Pretrial Release Committee proposed the original idea of the amendment to the New Mexico Supreme Court, which passed the proposal to the state legislature, which then passed the proposal to voters.
