The matter of sex crimes in the military has attracted attention up the chain of command all the way to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. In Colorado, several recent reported sexual assaults at the Air Force Academy resulted in three cadets being charged with abusive sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault and rape. All suspects have criminal defense attorney protection to preserve their rights to innocence until proven guilty and to obtain a fair trial. Secretary Panetta says there were almost 3,200 sexual assaults reported last year in all the military, but that the actual number runs much higher, closer to 19,000. Few victims are willing to make the report of a crime, and some do not even understand that they have experienced a sexual assault because it was never clearly defined. Sex crimes in the military are nothing new, but are greatly underreported, due to conflicts of interest, fear of retaliation and fear of making the report.
Sealing Your Record
As more and more people continue to search for new jobs in this strained economy the need to get that old criminal charge removed from your record becomes extremely important. We are frequently asked by our clients, "there is an old charge on my record from 10 years ago. Doesn't that fall off my record after such a long time?" Sadly the answer is "no." Unfortunately most people don't think to start asking about sealing/expunging their records until they have already been turned down for a job.Plan for your sealing your record. Sealing your record successfully will not be accomplished overnight. The largest hurdle to most record sealing is that Colorado law requires a record sealing request to be scheduled for a hearing. Every court is different and each court may have different timetables. Some courts may get a hearing scheduled for you right away while other courts may set a hearing much further out. Ultimately if you are thinking about sealing your record make sure that you plan it out so you are not feeling overwhelmed as your next job interview approaches. Give yourself the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your record has been completely sealed and apply for that next job in complete confidence. Contact one of our attorneys today, we are here to help.

AKA: Kindaichi Boy's Accident Files / The Files of Young Kindaichi
Genre: Mystery, Suspense
Episodes: 9 + Special
Broadcast period: 1996-Jul to 1997-Dec
Cast: Domoto Tsuyoshi, Tomosaka Rie and Furuoya Masato.
The story continues with Kindaichi Hajime (Domoto Tsuyoshi) and Nanase Miyuki (Tomosaka Rie) and their accidental cases. Always ending up at either deserted situations where murder occurs, witnessing one or being invited to places where a mystery is to be discovered. In order to uphold his grandfather's reputation, Hajime doesn't let any case slip unresolved.
In this season the murders get more complicated and Hajime gets suspected more than once for the murders, for trying to figure out the truth…
Again: sorry for the review, but you get the idea. This season is funny and likeable, and also has some more interesting cases compared to season one. The couple is great as well, and makes a really funny combi. Also adding the police officer they make the story really interesting.
If you like "Detective Conan" manga or anime this series is what it reminds you of. A young kid accidently ends up at a place where the murderer is, and he has to solve it as a mystery.

Historical dramas based in the period during the 1940s when World War II was being fought are hardly rare, but what remains interesting about this piece, newly-restored and extended with material cut after its original release, is that it bases its focus on a German story, and specifically that of a German woman (reputedly based on that of the writer-director's own mother). In many ways, she is the "pale mother" of the title, an allegorical representation of the country perhaps, and subject to the many whims of fate visited upon it by the men in the story. In the central role is Eva Mattes as Lene, the beautiful young wife of Hans (Ernst Jacobi) at the film's outset; Hans is not a Party member but when war breaks out is nevertheless conscripted into the Army. Hans's best friend on the other hand is very much a party apparatchik who gets a cushy job in Berlin and lords it over everyone in a petty way. The film focuses on Lene's struggle to make it through the wartime period, first in the city and then out in the countryside where it is presumed to be safer. There is no big comeuppance for any of the characters, as they continue to muddle through after the war has ended. Yet for all that it is bleak, and for all that it presents a vision of Germany that is far from optimistic or hopeful, it is still made with a great deal of sensitivity and craft.
Director/Writer Helma Sanders-Brahms; Cinematographer Jürgen Jürges; Starring Eva Mattes, Ernst Jacobi; Length 151 minutes.
Seen at Ciné Lumière, London, Saturday 18 October 2014.

If it seems like the garage has become smaller over time, you may be wondering whether there are things that can be done to make it bigger as it used to be. You can take the project on yourself or hire a maid service like The Maids of Greater Lehigh Valley in Bethlehem, PA. You obviously know that your garage has not decreased in size; it's not possible.So why then does it seem smaller?
Your garage seems smaller because you have added things to it over time. Maybe you have made it the place where you take all the things that you don't want in the house to. However, if it has reached a point where you are feeling that there isn't enough space, you have to do something about it. Some of the things that you can do to create more space include;
Building Cabinets
If there is no cabinets your garage, you should build several. If you already have few cabinets, you should add more. Cabinets will provide great places to store some of the things in your garage safely and in an organized manner. Before building of the cabinets starts, think about the things that you want to put in the cabinets. The size of the things that you want to put in the cabinets should determine their sizes.
Taking the Garbage Out
If you have a lot of garbage in your garage, take it out. Garbage includes all things that are no longer useful. Why are you still holding on to things that are not going to help you in any way? Taking the garbage out will help you free a lot of space in your garage.
These two things will create a lot of space in your garage. Take all useful things that are on the floor of your garage and arrange them neatly in the new cabinets that you just built. Ensure that you also arrange all things that cannot fit in the cabinets at designated places.

Terence Mckenna is a compelling speaker. Some people enjoy the way he speaks, some do not. What I do love about his lectures, is his ability to articulate his ideas and his tremendous lexicon of words.
He has a certain rhythm, that he tends to keep with his wording, I feel it is intentional. Most of his lectures were recorded from the 90's and usually dealt with psychedelics and their usage for humanity and artists.
Here I share a fantastic lecture on "Opening The Doors Of Creativity" It's about Terence Mckenna's notion of creativity.This lecture is far broader than his typical musings and it's a great topic for the artist.
Hope you get some value out of it. Here are some talking points:
This is a call to action for Artists.
The universe is an art machine, a continuous machine of imagination.
Natures creativity is the wellspring of human creativity. Emerging out of nature, humans are natures finest work of art.
Bending boundaries of art. A permission for the unthinkable.
Understanding is the precondition of creativity
"Novelty conserving engines"
What is creativity? Nature is the great visible engine of creativity against which all other things are measured.
"It's a matter of saving our own souls"
"Art is to leave the animal domain behind."
"The psychedelic experience shows you more art in an hour and a half, then the human species has produced in 15, 20 thousand years. This is an incredible claim. This is why I make it…"
"Culture is a plot against the expansion of consciousness"
"This plot prosecutes it's goals through a limiting of language, language is the battle ground where the fight will take place. What we cannot say, we cannot communicate."

It seems that the Confederate Battle Flag on the grounds of the South Carolina capitol will likely come down. If we see the back of the flag as it descends into the proper netherworld of memory, then we should remember how it got there. The flag rose back in 1961 to protest integration and declare the state's firm commitment to segregation forever. It moved from above the capitol building itself back in 200o. Now it may leave entirely, just as it shall leave the shelves of the nation's larger retailers. Good riddance.
By these tiny steps, bought most recently at the cost of nine lives, we measure progress. If and when the flag departs, we will congratulate ourselves again on the death of racism. Most white Americans will probably not consider that it took an outbreak of Reconstruction-level violence to move a piece of cloth. This says many things about us, none of them good.
The flag presently adorns a Confederate veteran's memorial. That might seem like a good excuse to keep it. The legislators who voted it over to that spot and then required a supermajority to move it again, certainly thought so. By placing it there, they dared future critics to disrespect the memory of the dead by challenging it again, or fall silent and so accept the flag. That sounds like an easy choice to me. When probably every other flag in South Carolina flew at half-mast, the Confederate Battle Flag flew high. Given the cause for which the veterans in question risked their lives, one could imagine it flying a bit higher. Did it grow a metaphorical inch taller for each death?
One can argue that the flag sits in an appropriate context. The veterans fought and died under it, or one like it, so why not fly it over their memorial? If the flag can't fly there, then where could it fly? I don't know why "nowhere" would prove unacceptable. Private individuals can do what they like with their flags on their property, but the grounds of governments buildings belong to, and inherently speak for, all of us. The foes of white supremacy should not deny to themselves this particular power that the cause's friends exercised in decades past. They erected the flag, and the monuments and all the rest, to celebrate their crusade and venerate its martyrs. Those who preached the subjugation of black Americans had their way and spoke on behalf of us all by putting up their flags. We can choose other crusades with other martyrs and try the same by taking them down.
We could probably do with some national soul-searching about the Confederate monuments too. In saying that I don't mean to insult or offend the descendants of Confederate soldiers. But I don't know how to separate a soldier from the cause he or she fought for, without reducing the soldier to a meaningless object of blind veneration. This strikes me as doing far greater violence to their memory than simply ignoring them, if not quite so much as outright lying about them. To make the point, I'd like to consider it in the context of a different situation:
In Japan, one can visit the Yasukuni Shrine. The shrine honors the sacrifices of all those, Japanese and otherwise, who died in the service of the Empire of Japan. While Japan still has an Emperor, he lacks even the limited reserve powers that the usual constitutional monarch enjoys. Thus the Empire of Japan generally runs from the Meiji Restoration of the late 1860s until 1947. In that time, Japan waged, brutal imperialist wars. While Americans remember Pearl Harbor and the rest, Imperial Japan did far worse to China. The Japanese military employed chemical and biological weapons against the Chinese, something they dared not attempt against European or American enemies. Those enshrined within include not just ordinary soliders, but more than a thousand convicted war criminals, fourteen of whom postwar tribunals found guilty of Class A war crimes. One goes to the shrine to venerate their spirits.
Japan's wartime victims and their descendants don't look fondly upon the shrine. The history of close government cooperation with it and repeated visits by Japanese prime ministers do little to help. Nor does the shrine's embrace of Japan's native version of the Lost Cause in the attached museum.
I suspect most Americans would read this as a sign that Japan hasn't really moved that far beyond its wartime self. Something has gone wrong, or never gone right, with Japan for such a state of affairs to persist. When it makes the news here, the stories generally run in that vein. The fact that relatively few Japanese people actually frequent the shrine or endorse its history doesn't enter into things. Nor does it matter that the shrine operates as a private establishment and thus the Japanese state can't just order changes. But even allowing these nuances, the shrine should give us cause for some concern.
If we can have that concern about Japan, why can't we have it at home? I don't mean that we should just take crowbars and bulldozers to Confederate monuments with glee, or that we should root around national parks removing the markers for this regiment and that, but they could do with a harder look. Many of them have inscriptions rife with Lost Cause tropes. The Confederate Soldier's Monument on the grounds of the Texas Capitol declares that those it honors "died for state rights guaranteed under the Constitution" without saying the only right of any state actually in question. Many other monuments, in Texas and elsewhere, do much the same.
These displays tell a story and we should consider if we want to keep telling it or not. How does it differ from the story taught at the Yasukuni Shrine and museum? If we look askance at one, then how can we not do the same of the other? We will have shrines one way or another. The ones we choose speak volumes. If we have chosen poorly before, we can choose differently now. No law of nature demands we go on as we have. Only we can demand that.

When I was little I was a really skinny girl. But ever since I hit puberty I've gained weight. I hit puberty when I was 11 yrs old which was an a young age. People would call me fat and it hurt me in the inside I just wouldn't show it to others. When I was 14 yrs old I knew I had to do something about it. By that time my weight was Xlbs. So after every meal I ate I would run to the bathroom and throw everything I just ate out. It made me feel good. Like I was in control. I knew it was wrong but there was a voice in my head saying that's the only way to be beautiful. And to be beautiful I would do anything. All my friends would tell me that I am really skinny that they wished they had my body. But I would always answered that I'm not skinny that I need to lose weight. So that's what I did. I've lost X pounds. But when I turned 15 I become more obsessed with my body image. I stopped eating and made sure I didn't eat more than X calories a day. But knowing that I still ate made me want to do hours and hours of exercise. I would sleep on an empty stomach but I didn't care cause I loved waking up in the morning looking at my flat small stomach in the mirror with a big smile on my face like I've achieved my dreams. And my weight went down to a X. My parents started getting hints that I was bulimic. They kept telling me that being skinny isn't everything... but I still didn't listen. Then it finally came across that I was hurting myself. I wanted to get some help but I felt ashamed of myself. So I started forcing myself to eat I went up to Xlbs. And now I'm about to turn 16 in 2months and I weight X. I still have that voice in my head telling me to throw up, saying that I'm ugly and fat. I went through this all by myself with nobodys help which made me so upset. I'm still insecure about my body and I still make myself throw up every once an a while. I know I won't stop until i get help but I just can't admit to myself That I really need it.

"'What's happening in my neighborhood?'
For a long time, that's been a tough question to answer. In dense, bustling cities like Chicago, New York and San Francisco, the number of daily media reports, government proceedings and local Internet conversations is staggering. Every day, a wealth of local information is created — officials inspect restaurants, journalists cover fires and Web users post photographs — but who has time to sort through all of that?
Our mission at EveryBlock is to solve that problem. We aim to collect all of the news and civic goings-on that have happened recently in your city, and make it simple for you to keep track of news in particular areas. We're a geographic filter — a "news feed" for your neighborhood, or, yes, even your block.
At this time, we cover three American cities: Chicago, New York and San Francisco. On each site, you can type in any address to read local news and public information near you. You'll find three main types of news:
- Civic information — building permits, crimes, restaurant inspections and more. In many cases, this information is already on the Web but is buried in hard-to-find government databases. In other cases, this information has never been posted online, and we've forged relationships with governments to make it available.
- News articles and blog entries — major newspapers, community weeklies, TV and radio news stations, local specialty publications and local blogs. We do the work of classifying articles by geography, so you can easily find the mainstream media coverage near particular locations.
- Fun from across the Web — local photos posted to the Flickr photo-sharing site, user reviews of local businesses on Yelp, lost and found postings from Craigslist and more. We figure out the relevant places and point you to location-specific items you might not have known about.
We like to toss around the word "news" to describe all of this, and that might surprise you at first. Isn't news what appears on the front page of the New York Times? Isn't news something produced by professional journalists?
Well, it can be — and we include as much of that on EveryBlock as possible. But, in our minds, "news" at the neighborhood or block level means a lot more. On EveryBlock, "Somebody reviewed the new Italian restaurant down the street on Yelp" is news. "Somebody took a photo of that cool house on your block and posted it to Flickr" is news. "The NYPD posted its weekly crime report for your neighborhood" is news. If it's in your neighborhood and it happened recently, it's news on EveryBlock."

This week HF3018 (tax structure task force bill) was heard in House Government Operations (Thank you Chair O'Driscoll for hearing the bill) and passed out to House State Government Finance (Thank you Chair S. Anderson for hearing the bill). It was laid over for possible inclusion in an Omnibus Finance bill. Thanks again to chief author Bliss for all of his work on the bill. No further action on this bill is required in the House.
This week HF3384 was heard in House Taxes (Thank you Chair Davids for hearing the bill). Jon Grell and I testified in support of the bill. The bill was laid over for possible inclusion in an Omnibus Tax bill. Thanks again to chief author Knoblach for all of his work on the bill. No further action on this bill is required in the House.
Last week I failed to mention that Jim Probst of the South Robert St. Business Association testified in support of HF3511 (Electronic wheel bill). The bill was offered as an amendment to HF3018, but was pulled by the author (Rep. Smith) after the testimony. Many thanks to Jim for his testimony. An electronic version of the manual wheel/table is needed. It is an evolution of a game, not a revolution or a direct expansion of gambling in the state. It would provide us with another tool that would be taxed at 8.5%, not combined receipts.
On the ACM website you will find an excel spreadsheet that includes all of our 80,818 Lawful Purpose Expenditures in calendar year 2017 by license number. Great reading. I try to get through every one of them each year. I am always in awe of the work that you each do. Take the time to look at yours and pass them along to your state legislators. It helps them to see what you are doing with the money that you do get to the bottom line.
The legislature is in recess for the next ten days, returning on Monday, April 9.

Reading Without Walls
written by Shannon Horton, DMS Librarian and Collaborative Teacher
More and more I notice students looking and finding an "easy button" when it comes to independent reading. They choose graphic novels because the pictures help them enter the story quickly, they choose realistic fiction about characters and places that are familiar to them, and they often pick up books they've read before. That's not all bad, don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of graphic novels, books that reflect my own life, and even books written well below my abilities, BUT I also push myself from time to time and reap enormous benefits.
What methods have you found to push students in a direction that will get them out of their reading comfort zone? Here are a few ideas to get us started:
Read a chapter, or a few chapters, to hook students and help them with the work of getting into a book. List the books in your classroom or on Canvas for student reference. (So many of you have done this as teachers, and I've seen the positive results in the library.)
Make reading social. How can students talk about and recommend books to other students? This is satisfying for readers and can also hook new readers on books they wouldn't naturally pick up. Could students be given a choice in how to share the books they love with their classmates? In Canvas start a discussion so that students can add books they recommend by attaching files, such as a picture with their book or a short video.
Assign an occasional parameter to their Independent Reading that requires them to reach in a new direction. Gene Yang, author and recently appointed National Ambassador of Young People's Literature, has a fabulous idea for teachers and students alike. His challenge is called Reading Without Walls, and I think it's just what this world needs. Could we as teachers take the challenge? Could students take the challenge and reflect on their experience? Here's what I picture: teachers reading graphic novels, such as the ones written by Gene Yang, while students pick up a book about a life lived in a way they have no reference for.
Self-selected, independent reading is key to developing readers. Give them choice! Praise and show interest in their choices! Let them be "lazy" and read something below their abilities. And, every now and again, find creative ways to push them.
Gene Yang, pictured above, has been chosen for a 2016
MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, so he must
know what he's talking about. (Photo Credit)
P.S. If you want one of the posters that outlines the reading challenge, just let me know. I see it as a great way to advertise on your door how you've accepted the challenge yourself or to post in your room for students. I made it using http://www.canva.com/, my favorite tool for making posters and signs.
FAA - Functional Academic Assessment
Written by Tara Duerre, DMS Special Education Teacher
It's 2015. I've been using the internet for over 15 years and yet here I sit, writing my very first BLOG. When I heard about this new blog for DMS, I felt excited to have this additional tool where we can share ideas, celebrations, goals, professional growth, and ah-ha moments.
I'm working with Mr. Peterson and Mr. Kelley this year specifically targeting reading fluency with a group of 13 students. High class numbers, wide range of students' individual strengths and needs, and simply taking longer than usual to teach class procedures has made the beginning of this year seem more challenging than most, but on a positive note, I see growth and progress, maturity, and collaboration already with our students after the first quarter. Working with these two talented teachers is quite rewarding for me as well. Finally, the people holding TLC grant positions have provided us with additional support and learning that helps us grow professionally as well as provide our students with an additional breadth of ideas and strategies.
As a special education teacher, my main focus is often reading comprehension, but over the years have had specific students with fluency as their #1 need. A few years ago I piloted a series of interventions (FAA - functional academic assessment for fluency) with the help of Chami from the AEA and saw huge results. Three of the four students ended up exiting from special education services within 1.5 years of receiving the intervention. I've used it sporadically over the past few years with specific kids whose targeted need was fluency and it has still proved to show surprisingly drastic growth.
This year, there is a group of 13 students who require direct fluency instruction. Yep...13. I've done this with groups of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, but 13. YIKES! A few days were spent getting the program set up with audio passages shared with each student, class computers set up, and the checklists made. Students go through a series of centers and practice fluency. Centers include:
The first day I think I had 15 grey hairs grow in, but gradually over the past weeks only 1 or 2 is popping up after our intervention class. The students are now working almost entirely independent throughout the centers and even ask me when they see me in the hall "Are we coming up for fluency today?" So I do believe they see the benefit, confidence, and growth in themselves and their reading. We have only graphed a baseline, but over the next 6 weeks will be watching closely to see the results.
How about you? Have you had a successful fluency intervention? Would you like to get an up-close look at FAA? Let's talk!

"I grew up in Staten Island and then did high school in New Jersey. There is certainly a lot I miss about those places, but there is something really special about living in D.C., especially around the Hill. I find the people here really passionate and informed. I came to D.C. with my husband, then boyfriend, in 1995. We met in college and came here for his graduate school. I didn't think we'd be very long, but now I can't see living anywhere else.
"During our 20's, we lived in Columbia Heights before it was cool and had a metro. I did a variety of weird jobs, like working as a puppeteer. It was fun to tell people here that I was a puppeteer, as everyone works for the government or a non-profit. When we were pregnant with our first child in 1999, we moved to the Hill, near H St. Northeast. Just by chance, someone saw our current house and told us about it. We moved a block off of H St. and have seen the neighborhood change. It is amazing to see that there are now restaurants and bars, many of which are kid friendly close by.
"After we moved here, I gradually met other moms in the neighborhood. We started having a regular playground and this group of friends was the original Moms on the Hill (MOTH) group. One of the Mom's started a yahoo group because her husband was tired of having his inbox clogged. With time, the site grew and we all invited new Moms we met to join the group. In September 2001, I wrote an article for the Hill Rag about being a Mom on the Hill and MOTH. After that, the group got bigger and bigger and now we have over 3000 people in our group.
"I always say that MOTH is a combination of old fashioned neighborliness and the Internet. One of my favorite things that we do is meals on wheels. Yes, we stole the name. Every time someone has a baby, we get people in the neighborhood to volunteer and cook them dinner. It is really nice to bring food to someone, especially to parents of a new baby. It is such a kind gesture that is so greatly appreciated. We're not used to accepting kindness from a stranger anymore, but it is a really wonderful way of helping the parents of newborns.
"We don't have a public site and we are not a non-profit. We keep an informal email group because it allows people to do what they want with it. Because it is so informal, it keeps the energy of the site up. A group of people met through MOTH and started Two Rivers Charter School. After that, a lot of people started to develop an interest in the local public schools. There has been a resurgence in a lot of the elementary schools and that is due in some part to these families having the ability to connect through MOTH. Everyone who leaves the area says that there is nothing like MOTH in other neighborhoods or cities. There are other listserves and websites, but there is something really special about this community here."

Gloria Bill to Protect Students' Rights to Cultural Expression During School Graduation Ceremonies Heading to Final Vote in State Senate
SACRAMENTO, CA – As California public schools proceed with summer graduation ceremonies, some students are being restrained by academic administrators from recognizing their cultural or religious heritage as they walk across the stage and receive their diploma. State legislation authored by California State Assemblymember Todd Gloria [2] (D-San Diego) that would eliminate the ability of public schools to prohibit students from wearing items of cultural or religious significance during graduation ceremonies has received its final committee approval and is now headed to the full State Senate for consideration.
"In California, we truly believe we are a place for everyone. We have pride in our communities and our rich diversity is something we celebrate because it reflects who we are as people. Our communities and neighborhoods should be vibrant, alive, and culturally diverse places for everyone," said Assemblymember Todd Gloria. "Regrettably, we know some public schools are actively prohibiting students from recognizing their cultural or religious heritage as they graduate – one of the biggest days of their lives. Working together, we can fix this and ensure it never happens again to any student with my bill, AB 1248."
Just last week, a Native American student at El Capitan High School in Lakeside, California was prevented from wearing an eagle feather – a highly revered symbol in Native American culture – at his high school graduation ceremony. In 2016, an African-American student was not permitted by school officials to wear kente cloth – a fabric worn during important occasions in African culture – at his commencement ceremony. In 2014, eight Native American high school seniors were restricted from wearing eagle feathers as part of their graduation regalia.
Under current law, the education code gives school districts the authority to develop and enforce reasonable dress code policies. This includes appropriate and inappropriate graduation attire. Some districts have adopted "no adornment" policies for graduation ceremonies which specifically disallow the display of cultural adornments. AB 1248 explicitly adds to the education code that students have "the right to wear religious, ceremonial, or cultural adornments at school graduation ceremonies." In addition, AB 1248 adds a provision that could allow school districts to prohibit such items should they cause a "substantial disruption" or "interfere with" the graduation ceremony.
AB 1248 is supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, California Teachers Association, California Tribal Business Alliance, National Association of Social Workers (California chapter), and 16 tribal nations from across the state.
The full text of AB 1248 can be found here [3].

The Paragon was where we first staged our Yulefest Blue Mountains dinner and show. It's a gorgeous place which we were sad to leave… but we out-grew the dining room!
Go and see them, have a coffee, a meal or be tempted by those delicious hand-made chocolates.
A Brief History
The famous Paragon Café (map) at Katoomba is listed on the State Heritage Inventory Form as being '…of state significance'. In addition to a café, it includes one of the oldest chocolate making factories in Australia and is still well known for its chocolates.
Originally known as The Paragon Sundae and Candy Store, it was purchased in 1916 by a young Greek immigrant named Zacharias Simos. Over the next few years he extended and upgraded the original premises, in particular the Art Deco restyling in 1925 and addition of the banquet hall (now the Bar), and Blue Room in 1934 and 1936. The Simos family retained ownership until the early part of the 21st Century.
The glamorous Art Deco design was made by architect Henry White, who also designed the State and Capital Theatres in Sydney.
The Paragon remains historically very significant with many of the original features still in use. These include plaster frieze work on the ceilings, timber booth seating with panelled timber walls and plaster of classical figures. It remains as one of the best known Art Deco restaurants in NSW and a popular tourist destination.
The current lessee, Robyn Parker, is passionately committed to the maintenance and conservation of this iconic building.

love at first sight.
Do you ever see a picture that for some silly reason tugs at your heart strings a little? This is one of the last pics from my shoot on Tuesday and it was instantly one of my favorites for some reason. Love this little girl. Many more on the way, but for now, enjoy the sweetness of this father-daughter.

Do you want it read before the performance?
So the audience can be prepared
Then prepare them. Give it to them
But that might spoil it. What if it sets expectations that aren't met
Well then do not set expectations
Give it at the end
That's a cheat
Come on
Listen, do you know what the performance is about, do you want the audience to know what it's about? If the answer to any of the above is no, then you can think of a different programme note
Well like one that you can either give and the beginning or at the end of the show, one that is a creative contribution to the performance, to the material that went into the making, the research, the questions raised, in short: one that has to do with process, not with product
I see. So plenty of text?
What you mean plenty. Whatever feels right. Take it as a work of art. Not a description of the work. There may be some of the drownings of your designers, for example, or an image, a design. A kind of mini portfolio.
Why not a description?
Oh make up your mind! You can describe what you want! But decide if it's the product or the process. And don't make comments about its spellbinding qualities. If it is, you should be speechless. That's what I say.

Dan Rather doesn't pull any punches during the hour-long episode, as he takes viewers behind the makeup to meet the real Gene Simmons – outspoken musician, business man, father, and husband. From his life and loves, to his views on the music industry and his passion for America, Gene doesn't shy away from the taboo topics. Dan and Gene get surprisingly personal, eliciting a side of the superstar that isn't often seen on stage or television. From his father's absence, his mother's time in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, and his poverty-stricken childhood in Israel to his high-profile liaisons with Cher and Diana Ross, his monumental success with KISS, and his revealing reality show – no stone is left unturned.
[slideshow_deploy id='19369′]
While Simmons may have finally settled down as a family man, his career – both as an entrepreneur and a member of KISS – has never been hotter. With the band's blockbuster 40th anniversary tour well underway, Simmons delves into the origins of KISS, their refusal to play the pop music game, and their commitment to originality and hard word. It's this same drive, what Simmons calls "the working man's ethic," that has helped him build a multi-million dollar empire that includes a record company, restaurant chain, race horse operations, and an Arena Football team.
Kenny Rogers sits down with Dan Rather for THE BIG INTERVIEW this Tuesday at 8 ET|5 PT
Filmed on stage at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, Kenny Rogers' path from jazz musician to country music icon is chronicled through a frank and insightful conversation with Dan Rather. Throughout the interview, Rogers provides heartfelt answers about his humble beginnings, his love for a good story, and fondly recalls his mother's pearls of wisdom that he still follows today.
[slideshow_deploy id='19313′]
Rather covers all major aspects of Rogers career; from his early days as a singer and bass player for doo-wop groups, jazz trios, and folk-rock bands to what led Rogers to start his solo career. Additionally, the two Houston natives talk at length about the history behind the GRAMMY® Award-winning Song of the Year "The Gambler," and Rogers' success performing duets with established artists – such as Lionel Ritchie and Dolly Parton.
Truly one of the most influential country music artists of all time, Rogers is still performing nearly 100 shows a year in front of live audiences worldwide! Rogers accolades include charting a record in each of the past seven decades, recording 24 No. 1 hits and 12 No. 1 albums, and being one of the highest selling artists ever – with over 120 million albums sold worldwide! A trailblazing artist, Rogers was the first country artist to consistently sell out arenas and quickly became a pop superstar as well – his 28 Billboard Adult Contemporary Top 10's is fourth-best all time among men, trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond, and Elvis Presley.
Rogers has received hundreds of awards for his music and charity work, including three GRAMMY® Awards, 11 People's Choice Awards, 18 American Music Awards, eight Academy of Country Music awards, and six Country Music Association awards.Rogers has also been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and received the CMA Lifetime Achievement Award And just this year, his most recent album, "You Can't Make Old Friends," became his 22nd Top 10 Country Album, and the title track duet with Dolly Parton has earned GRAMMY® Award and CMA Award nominations.

Premier League Primary Stars
The PSHE Association worked with the Premier League to write a series of PSHE packs to enable teachers to develop pupils' essential skills and attributes around the themes of resilience, identity, values, self-esteem, teamwork, inclusion and behaviour. With clear learning outcomes linked directly to the PSHE education programme of study, each pack contains a short film and a complete lesson plan with a variety of interactive and practical activities for pupils, and includes insights from children and sporting personalities. All resources are free to download from the the Primary Stars website.
Raising Aspirations, Inspiring Futures
Working in partnership with Siemens, The PSHE Association has developed this new Key Stage 2 teaching resource to enable primary teachers to enhance pupils' understanding of potential career choices while challenging gender stereotypes within the world of work. The free downloadable resource includes four lesson plans plus corresponding PowerPoint presentations, which can be used as standalone lessons or as part of a series.
"We were pleased to have been able to collaborate with the PSHE Association during the development of our KS2 resource - Inspiring Futures, Raising Aspirations resource.

Share Good Times Not Flu… In School resources supporting the Government's influenza vaccination programme
The PSHE Association has worked closely in partnership with leading communications agency Ten Alps Communicate and AstraZeneca to produce a set of teaching resources for schools in participating pilot regions to support them in teaching the learning needed to underpin the national vaccination programme for the childhood influenza as well as how to manage the process as smoothly as possible in school and communicate effectively with parents. The result of our partnership was the 'Share Good Times Not Flu… In School' series of lesson plans and supporting teaching resources which are available to download here.
"The support of the PSHE Association in the development of the Share Good Times Not Flu…in School resources has been invaluable. Their insights into classroom best practice, will, we believe, greatly add to the overall effectiveness of the toolkit for teachers." Richard Gotting, AstraZeneca
Wise up resources supporting the national HPV vaccination programme
The PSHE Association has worked with leading communications agency Ten Alps Communicate and the School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA), on behalf of Sanofi Pasteur MSD to review and advise on a set of teaching resources for schools to support them in teaching the learning needed to underpin the national vaccination programme for human papillomavirus (HPV). The result was the 'Wise Up' series of lesson plans and supporting teaching resources available to download here.
"It has been extremely beneficial for us to be able to work with the PSHE Association and their Advisory Council in preparing the Wise Up resources and to be able to include their constructive feedback in the resources." Alannah Moore, Ten Alps Communicate

You Are Unimportant, and That's a Good Thing
We like to believe we're the heroes of our own stories. We're the protagonist, we have control, and we matter. And to an extent, that's true. Our actions have meaning, we affect the people around us, and we are affected by them.
However, we only have so much impact, and for most of us, the world is largely indifferent to our actions. Some may find this depressing or that because they can't control certain outcomes that things are hopeless. For me, I take comfort in my relative level of unimportance because it means I don't have to stress out about things I can't control.
I thought about this while reading Will Leitch's great article about how we've forgotten how to fear, particularly with regards to nuclear war. My counter to this would be two-fold.
First, we haven't forgotten HOW to fear as much as there's now so many different things to fear. In 1983 when Testament was released, you didn't have to worry about climate change, ISIS, mass shootings or any other variety of onslaught. It was like having only 3 TV channels and you watched the Nuclear Annihilation channel because that's what was on. Now you have way more things to be terrified of, so nuclear war (which could certainly happen! I'm not dismissing it!) has to vie for attention among all the other things scaring us.
My second, and larger point, is that you just have to accept that in the event of nuclear war you will suffer and die and there's nothing you can do about it. I was terrified of pandemics, but once I accepted that in the event of a pandemic I would simply be dead, I was able to watch Contagion relatively stress-free.
Stressing about things we can't control doesn't benefit anyone, and while fear can be useful, it can also be debilitating and cause us to make bad decisions (it's also worth noting that in the midst of the Cold War, we ended up going to war in Vietnam and electing such luminaries as Nixon, so it's not like knowing HOW to fear led us to better outcomes).
Do I think Trump will roast all of us in a nuclear holocaust? It's possible, and it would be a fitting end to America—a leader elected on racism and greed (a reflection on our country's original sin of slavery) obliterated by nuclear weapons (our final sin). But what can you do about it? Is it worth being anymore terrified than when the Bush administration had those idiotic color-coded terror threat levels?
These days, I find my fears tend to be more about what could happen to my loved ones or about my health or my career. My nightmares are, for the most part, comically mundane (I've had multiple dreams about the Falcons losing football games). That's not to say that things aren't bad or that they couldn't get worse. It's to say that unproductive fear is pointless, and that putting up signs for fallout shelters solves nothing.

Do, Share, Learn
Do Something!
Last week I wrote briefly, about some of the issues we all deal with in education. Apparently, I am not the only one feeling like there are some gaps, with an undue emphasis on acquiring and regurgitating information, instead of doing and learning. As a strong believer in UDL, I believe that we need to look at how we are teaching, how students are learning and how they are showing their mastery. Jennifer Gonzalez of The Cult of Pedagogy, blogged about this and created the podcast embedded below.
Modern Learners shared this viral video and responded to it in their post back in September. Check out the blog post for the video response to Prince Ea. What's your response? Mine has been to create the STEAM space at HES. Still a work in progress, students can come in and DO something.
Three Quick Shares
Add Math Playground to Google Classroom
Richard Byrnes wrote a great blog post about this back in September. I love Math Playground games. I've been a fan of Colleen King for years. She is an amazing educator, math wiz, web design and coding magician and a wicked nice, shy, unassuming person. She was my hero about 10 years ago as I was struggling to get through a workshop that was simply not working for me. I had no clue about what I was trying to do, coding stuff etc... and Colleen took me under her wing and very gently showed me how to do some basic things. She also allowed me to use her as a mentor for one of my former students when he wanted to learn flash and I didn't know it. But... back to Richard's post. He noticed that you can put Math Playground games right into Google Classroom and referenced Tony Vincent's post about how one could add materials. Check out Richard's post here and start adding more fun, educational Math Playground games to Google Classroom. If you've never tried the Logic games, be sure to check them out.
I've been hearing more and more about Eduprotocols for the last 6 months. The book, by Marlena Hebern and Jon Corippo came out in March and everything I have heard about it is wonderful. Hate to admit it, but I haven't purchased a copy yet. I tend to buy paper copies of edu books, so I can lend them to people. The trade-off is not being able to click on the links. Check out the videos below. The first big one is a review of the book. Vicki Davis did an interview with Jon and Matt Miller takes on one of the protocols in his video. It may be something that some of us can look at for a PD session. Interested? Check out some of the templates- for free. See if this would help you in the classroom.

These were the real titans of political rhetoric. Few have been able to wield the English language like these two.
British Director Ken Russell passed away this weekend. Russell was responsible for filming some of the most iconic and outrageous scenes to ever hit the big screen. "Women in Love" (1969) where he managed to convince Alan Bates and Oliver Reed to wrestle in the nude. Reed once mentioned in an interview that he wasn't very worried about showing off his manhood but was more worried about being a few pounds over weight the morning of the shoot. Bates on the other hand was very nervous about the scene. Reed convinced him to polish off a bottle of Vodka that morning and some how this took the edge off enough to get them through the first male nude scene ever shot. "The Devils" (1971) where Vanessa Redgrave portrays a nun who has a scene where she is passionately kissing Jesus? The Who's Rock Opera, "Tommy"(1975) Ann Margret has a nervous break down, throws a bottle of champagne crashing it through her T.V. as she is drenched in hundreds of pounds of baked beans and chocolate which appeared to be excrement. Margret actually cut her arm during the scene and received 27 stitches from the glass that was still on the white fluffy rug she was crawling across. They took her to the Emergency room and she appeared to be either a woman who had survived a drowning or a woman who survived a performance in a Ken Russell film.
"The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince."
"Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit."
"Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence."
A President orders some custom pants from Haggar. This is just too funny! Hats off to Tawd Dorenfeld and the guys at Put This On.

Lucie Bilodeau was born in Montreal, Canada, in May 1967. She now lives with her husband in the United States, in Massachusetts, where she paints full-time.
As a child, as soon as she was able to hold a pencil, she spent a good amount of her time drawing. Then one day, she watched her dad draw a fish from memory, and marveled at what he was doing, and how beautiful the drawing came out. This took her interest in drawing to a new level.
She expressed her first serious interest in art when she was seven years old. When she was 14 years old, her parents paid for her to take classes at Mission: Renaissance School in Montreal, Canada. She took courses that taught her traditional fine art skills, including an in-depth study of the masters: Rembrandt, Monet, Manet, Cézanne, Fantin Latour, and others.
A teacher at this school once showed her a book showcasing the wildlife paintings of contemporary artist, Robert Bateman. Lucie loved his work and decided to channel her talent toward wildlife.
"Since many of us have a very busy and often stressful life, it is important for me to bring the calming and rejuvenating effect of nature into people's lives through my artwork."
Many of Ms. Bilodeau's works can be found in corporations and private collections around the globe, including England, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, Australia, United States and Canada.
"I truly hope that, in some way, my artwork contributes to the world I envision. I stand for a world without wars. A world where honest people can prosper and flourish. Where we care, love and respect each other, as well as the other life forms on this planet."
"I want us to live in harmony with nature."

So I've been reading the forum and this is what I found. Hope it works as a guide for someone in the same position as me.
Items needed:
1) 12vDC Onyx
2) Solid State Relay (DC-DC). 30amps or more. Good option: SSR-100 DD DC-DC 100A if you can afford it, Crydom is better.
Don't use standard Relays, they produce huge amounts of EMF when the coil energizes and de-energizes, and the PWM coming out of the RAMBo will beat the relay to death.
3) 24V DC Power Supply. Good option: Meanwell Power Supply 24V DC 750W 31.3A
Spoiler with not to do stuff (learning curve ):
UPDATE: Thank you dpmacri!!!!
This is how I have it all wired:
Jan 09, 2016 Update: Hi, just to give peace of mind to people willing to buy a Fotek.
I've been using a 100a Fotek SSR for almost a year and it's all good. It doesn't even get hot while printing.
If you do make this upgrade, please share.

Standing Ground
Alice Rachel
(Under Ground, #2)
Publication date: October 27th 2016
Genres: Dystopian, Romance, Young Adult
When the authorities strike to regain control over the riots in Eboracum City and use drastic measures as retaliation against the civilians, the citizens are forced to fight back to survive. A virus has spread through the Underground, taking down the refugees one by one, soon contaminating the rebels. If Thia wants to save the ones she loves, she will have to retrieve the cure, quickly. But certain decisions are costly, and not all actions are free of consequences.
Standing Ground isn't a regular YA Dystopian novel where the characters are trying to correct the wrongs of the government. It also deals with internal struggle and finding one's self. Book 2 is definitely better than book 1. Things pick up and action and tension builds. So much happens and there are some unforgettable quotes sprinkled throughout the novel. My emotions were all over the place, heartbroken is the word I would use to describe how I felt at the end. I don't want to say too much on what happens in book 2, but things get intense.
Overall I would give Standing Ground 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Author Bio:
Alice Rachel is the author of the YA Forbidden Romance/ Dystopian Romance Series "Under Ground."
Her time is divided between teaching French, writing, reading, drawing, and spending time with her hubby and guinea pigs.

text: Crop coefficient (Kc) has a key role in order to reach high precision crop evapotranspiration data. This study aimed to obtain functions to estimate the daily crop coefficient (Kc) in specific locations and check advantages in its use compared with grouped and generalized values. For that purpose,daily values of Kc based on days after planting named "Kc(DAP)"were estimated by specificadjustment functions and compared to field measured crop coefficient values of peanut, sugarcane, bean, corn and soybean. Estimated crop responses were compared and quatitatively analyzed through linear regression, index "d" of performance, index "c" of agreement and statistical deviation technique. It was possible obtain functions for setting daily crop coefficient for both studied crops and sites. Daily crop coefficient functions improved the accuracy of estimated crop evapotranspiration when compared to widely used values, by better reflect local climate and soil conditions of the crops; and, also for grouped values, because the curve decreases the variability of the data estimated daily.

RHP Edilson Alvarez was a workhorse for the Stockade, going seven innings and throwing 114 pitches in a winning effort.
Salina got off to a good start to their season, as they found themselves up 7-1 on Ottawa after only four innings. RHP Noah Gapp was charged with three runs over three frames and RHP Andrew Cooper came in to replace him.
Champions fielders committed three errors in the fourth inning and the Stockade made them pay by plating four runners.
The Champions bullpen has looked good in recent days. Cooper gave up a run in the sixth inning, which served as the first conceded by the 'pen in four games.
A bright spot offensively for Ottawa was 2B Steve Nyisztor, who went 3-for-5 and started a rally in the ninth inning that was halted by Salina closer RHP Dillion Sunnafrank. LF Coco Johnson hit a home run in the first at-bat of the game and went 2-for-5 on the day.
For the Stockade it was shortstop Robert Garza who lead the way going 3-4 and making several key defensive plays for Salina.
Carson Lee and Jackson Pritchard went 2-5 for the Stockade. Lance Fairchild and Dillon Sunnafrank each pitched scoreless innings for the Stockade.
Ottawa will get an opportunity for revenge tomorrow, with the first pitch in their second game with Salina being at 7:05 p.m. The final game of the series will take place on Sunday at 1:30 p.m., before the Champions hit the road to face Quebec and Sussex County.

Any powerful half marathon training schedule for beginners should feature several aspects.
Obviously you will need to know when and the lengths of runs you need to do, the quantity and arrangement of your downtime days as well as the distinct types of training methods you must use during your exercise sessions before your race day.
As a total novice yet, your aim would be to build up the strength and endurance in your thighs, heart and lungs. Since if you are not used to running, the stress on your own joints and muscles may potentially trigger a lot of soreness and potential harm you've got to do this step by step.
Listed below are three ideas for arrangements you should make before you even begin to stick to a half marathon training schedule for beginners…
1. Correct any harm or well being issues first before you begin.
You need to be in respectable shape to run or walk your half marathon.
2. Lower your weight to a healthy degree. You might believe that when you commence running the extra fat will start to fall off you, but this is not actually true. If you increase your power output (running) but also increase your energy intake (the foods and drinks which you have) then you're going to still potentially gain weight.
Losing a couple of pounds just before you begin your half marathon training is crucial as an effect of the pressure you will be adding on your own joints every single time you run. Imagine if you'd several pounds less to carry with you around when running, don't you picture that would truly feel more easy and more comfortable.
It may be a bit like the chicken and egg situation… which came first. Well that is a similar scenario with training for a half marathon, is it best to get in better condition before you begin or during, of course my tip is to lose several pounds leading up to beginning and continuing throughout your training.
3. You'll need to work your way through the mpg in an ordered and continuous manner. Obviously to get to the stage just where you're competent to run 13.1 miles in without stopping is going to take time and it can appear a quite daunting challenge, especially to a newbie runner.
When you break up the process down in to smaller sized and much more controllable chunks, it becomes a much less complicated aim to visualize and go on to realize.
For instance allowing oneself 8 weeks to finish a 5k race (which I recommend you do initially) followed by an additional 6 – 8 weeks to reach 10k distance (just over 6.2 miles) ahead of building up to the half marathon is actually the best way of looking at this.
Any excellent half marathon training schedule for beginners will give a nicely running system that is balanced, but what you truly desire is the knowledge that is extra. There's a good deal to learn about the way you can get the most out of your running sessions, it isn't merely a case of getting out and running as much as you can, you will discover there are a lot more efficient and successful methods of getting fitter than this.

"The Heartbleed problem can be blamed on complexity; all Internet standards become festooned with complicating option sets that no one person can know in their entirety. The Heartbleed problem can be blamed on insufficient investment; safety review for open source code is rarely funded, nor sustainable when it is. The Heartbleed problem can be blamed on poor planning; wide deployment within critical functions but without any repair regime."
Quote is from Dr. Dan Geer's must-read "Heartbleed as Metaphor" article on Lawfare. Brilliant examination of the true lessons we need to learn from this software exploit's 'success', in order to best prepare for the next common-mode failure. Another quote worth sharing (but I still recommend reading the article in its entirety):
The critical infrastructure's monoculture problem, and hence its exposure to common mode risk, is now small devices and the chips which run them. As the monocultures build, they do so in ever more pervasive, ever smaller packages, in ever less noticeable roles. The avenues to common mode failure proliferate.
Thanks to common-mode proliferation, we don't have the luxury of worrying about If something will happen any longer – it's now just a matter of When.
