Persecution in Brazil: Challenges and sufferings in the Brazilian homeschooling movement
Persecution in Brazil: Challenges and sufferings in the Brazilian homeschooling movement
Julio Severo
Josue Bueno, his wife and their 9 children are ordered to submit to psychological treatment under social workers. Because of their homeschooling practices, state officials threaten to remove their children. They flee to Paraguay, where the Brazilian government sends a court official to warn them to return to Brazil and enroll the children in the school.
Cleber Andrade Nunes and his wife Bernadeth took his two teenage children from a public school to homeschool them. Astonishingly, the boys surpassed their peers and were approved for a law school with a high score. Nevertheless, their parents received the official threat: without a school enrolling, they will be jailed and lose the custody over their children.
Teaching children at home had always been a right in Brazil, because past Brazilian constitutions guaranteed it. For example, the Constitution of 1946 (Article 166) says, "The education is a right of all and it will be given at home and in the school. It should be inspired by the principles of freedom and in the ideals of human solidarity". No Brazilian parent was threatened, fined or jailed for teaching children at home.
Yet, Socialist legislators insisted that there was a need for a new constitution. Under their inspiration and efforts, the current 1988 Federal Constitution was born, which says:
"The Government has the power to take a census of elementary school students, call them for enrollment and ensure that parents or guardians see to their children's attendance to school". (Article 208, paragraph 3.)
In 2001, Carlos Vilhena and his wife Márcia tried to challenge the compulsory school attendance Law by fighting in the courts. Mr. Vilhena was a famous attorney who wanted to ensure, for himself and other families, the right to homeschool. However, the Minister of Education, a communist, ordered his ministry to reject the request by Vilhena. The Vilhena case, which had received positive international and national coverage, eventually ended in the Superior Tribunal of Justice, where Carlos and Márcia lost and where justices declared, "Children don't belong to their parents". Being left with no choice, the Vilhena children were enrolled in a regular school.
The decision against the Vilhena family became a dangerous precedent, harming further legal efforts to make homeschooling legal again in Brazil.
Even so, many Brazilian families continue homeschooling and entering it.
Josue Bueno, a former Baptist minister, learnt about homeschooling in his youth years in the United States. Returning to Brazil, he attended a Baptist seminary, became a minister and, as soon as he married, he sought to live a Bible-centered family, where homeschooling was fundamental.
In America, Bueno had seen families freely educating their children. So he gave the same opportunity for his own children, who never attended a school since their birth. But his attempt to live the same freedom and Christian principles proved very costly. He remembers, "Because of false accusations, which were never proved, prosecutors ordered us to send our children to school. They also disagreed with our way to discipline our children".
The accusations were made in 2005 to the Tutelary Council, a children protection service enforcing the Children and Adolescent Statute. They received citation to stand before judges and other authorities, because of homeschooling and child discipline. Then Mr. Bueno and all his family were ordered to submit to state psychological treatment and enroll the children in a school. After some time in such treatment, being greatly pressured (especially his pregnant wife) and seeing no human escape, they fled to Paraguay — exclusively to give to their children a Christian upbringing.
Mr. Bueno tells, "People talk a lot about respect and diversity, but our different way of life was not respected. I am sure that if my sons were homosexual and my daughters lesbian they would have an overwhelming state protection".
It was a great suffering to leave Brazil, but greater sufferings forced them to such hard choice. Yet, their suffering did not end. The Brazilian government has discovered them and sent a court official to give them a citation to return to Brazil, continue state psychological treatment and enroll the children in a school.
Different from the Bueno family, Cleber and Bernadeth Nunes had not educated their children since their birth. He had known homeschooling in his visit to the United States. After much prayer and consideration, there was a decision and today he says, "Two years ago my wife and I decided to remove our two boys from the public school and take responsibility over their education. I ran a small business and at that time I downsized it because both of us are homeschooling". His motive, as he told in an interview to BandNews (a national TV news channel in Brazil), is because "we do not agree with the education system".
The BandNews program, which was broadcasted nationwide February 28, 2008, noted that Bernadeth left her university course on architecture for devoting herself to the education of their children. When journalist Adriana Spinelli interviewed the boys, Davi answered: "We like very much this method because we are free to study what we like".
In their homeschool journey, the first effort of the Nunes family was to "unschool" their children.
After just two years, the results were worthy. Under the charge of education negligence by the Tutelary Council, Mr. Nunes tried to prove that there was no such negligence. So the boys made assessment tests to enter a law school. Davi, 14, was approved in the seventh ranking. His brother Jonatas, 13, got the 13th ranking. Their position was excellent, but the Tutelary Council, which has been harassing them since 2007, was unmoved.
In spite of the excellent educational scores of their sons, the Nunes family is under the official threat of losing the custody over their children and be jailed. They have a 9-month baby girl called Ana. Two voluntary and kind lawyers are fighting to defend the Nunes family against the state power opposing homeschooling.
Their problems began when someone denounced them to the Tutelary Council. As all homeschool families in Brazil, the Nunes and Bueno families had an underground homeschool life. When properly hidden, there is no danger, but often a relative, neighbor or an unknown individual intervenes to denounce to the Tutelary Council, which has dealt with all homeschool cases in Brazil.
This Council was created to implement in the Brazilian society the Children and Adolescent Statute, which in turn was created to meet the UN Convention on the Children Rights demands. As a signatory of this UN document, the Brazilian government was obliged to reflect it in the domestic laws. No Christian leader in Brazil was able to see its dangers, but today homeschool and Christian parents are suffering its consequences.
An evangelical minister told me that when disciplining his 10-year old, the boy threatened to denounce him and his wife to the Tutelary Council. When asked where he had learnt it, the boy answered, "in school".
More and more evangelical and Catholic parents in Brazil have told me the same sad story. Other similar experiences show that evangelical families are being hardly hit by the UN-imposed legislation in Brazil.
The Tutelary Council and the Child and Adolescent Statute, which allege to defend children and their well-being, have been noted for their omissive role in the abortion debate and for not protecting children at risk of adoption by homosexuals. But they have no omission for homeschool families.
The Bueno family may be deported to Brazil and, as to the Nunes family, Cleber say, "We were condemned to pay a US$1800 fine and to enroll the boys back in school immediately. They threatened that we would lose custody over our children. They can even send us to jail if we keep disobeying them".
The Nunes family, which is battling a radical anti-choice system, could consider fleeing to Paraguay. Yet, even in Paraguay the Bueno family is not free from tentacles from the Brazilian Tutelary Council.

Brazilian Government Prosecutes Homeschooling Family, Threatens to Remove Children
Brazilian Government Prosecutes Homeschooling Family, Threatens to Remove Children
Authorities ignore failure of school system and amazing success of homeschooling parents
By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman and Julio Severo
MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL, March 6, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Brazilian family in the town of Timóteo, in the state of Minas Gerais, has been threatened with imprisonment and the loss of custody of their children for the "crime" of homeschooling.
The couple, Cleber Andrade Nunes and his wife Bernadeth Nunes, removed their children from public school two years ago, concerned about immoral influences and low educational standards.
The Nunes' children showed significant improvement, so much so that they passed law school entrance exams with high marks. Their only problem is that at the ages of 14 and 13, they are not eligible for admission.
However, the success of the Nunes in educating their children has not impressed the socialist government of Brazil, which has ordered them to return the children to school and pay a fine equivalent to $1,800. If they refuse, the children will be removed from their parents' custody.
The plight of the Nunes family is shared by others in Brazil who have taken the initiative to homeschool their children. Josue Bueno, a former Baptist minister, decided to homeschool his nine sons and daughters after learning about the practice during his adolescence in the United States. He was motivated in part by the desire to shield his children from immoral influences in the schools.
But his attempt to live according to his religious beliefs proved to be costly. He was accused in 2005 before the Tutelary Council, a child protective service. In the end Mr. Bueno and his family were ordered to submit to state "psychological treatment" and enroll the children in a school.
Their subsequent experience with the schools, however, has been a nightmare. "Our children were physically attacked by other students and even verbally humiliated by some teachers who made fun of them when they came to ask for help after being persecuted by their peers," say the parents in a written statement.
"Ariel, our fourth child, was punished after reporting another student for beating her...She was taught in the classroom that a prostitute is a professional just like any other and should be respected. The school teaches the idea of evolution not as a theory, but as something proven. My oldest daughter was harassed by a female student who wanted to kiss her on the mouth, which she resisted."
Ultimately the Buenos decided to flee to Paraguay, where they now live. But even there they were not safe from pressure from the Brazilian government. A court officer was sent to order them to return to Brazil and continue their "treatment". Although the Buenos remain where they are, they are afraid that the Brazilian government might somehow secure their deportation.
"People talk a lot about respect and diversity, but our different way of life was not respected. I am sure that if my sons were homosexual and my daughters lesbian they would have an overwhelming state protection," says Josue Bueno. "The school socializes them much more to violence, or disrespect, the values of a society that expelled God from its laws, from its schools and from its lives."
In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com, Cleber Nunes said that the Brazilian school system is a proven failure, with low ranks given by domestic studies as well as by the International Student Assessment Program, which ranks Brazilian students at 57th worldwide in educational achievement.
He also cited disturbing statistics concerning social problems in Brazilian schools, including a study done in 2000 that found that 71% of students had suffered some kind of violence. He said that condoms are distributed freely in dispensers to students as young as ten years old, and that "sex education" programs in the schools are little more than propaganda for sexual license.
Nunes says that despite the amazing progress of his children and the comparative failure of public schooling, the courts have so far insisted that he must return his children to the local public school. When he showed them the law school test results, he says, "They ignored (them) and went on with the process. They said that the law must be fulfilled."
However, unlike the Bueno case, the Nunes have received sympathetic attention from the national media, which has publicized the success of their homeschooling efforts. Nunes is confident that his children will not be taken from him, despite the negative verdicts, which he is appealing with the help of volunteer attorneys. "The reason they are pointing (to) is so ridiculous that the foolishness would be shown to the entire nation," he says.
"I think it time for the Brazilian society to shout that the emperor is naked!" Nunes told LifeSiteNews.com, observing that the failure of the system has been well publicized.
Nunes says that he has received many emails from Brazilians supporting his cause, and that other families in his area are interested in home schooling as well. "They don't know how to do it. That's why we're willing to help people. Most of them think they can't but the truth is that they don't know they can….There is no Portuguese material available. We want to translate some to help them."
Nunes believes he will win, and is refusing to send his children back to school while he appeals the verdict against him. "I will fight until the end," he says. However, if he loses, he acknowledges that a "as a last case" he will have to do what the Bueno family did: leave Brazil.

Where did the 19% or 23.5% go?
Where did the 19% or 23.5% go?
I am thinking of installing a second meter because SDG&E rates (tier 4) are 31 cents per Kw. Would you mind sharing the ballpark cost of the addition.
Yes, the Model S does consume a rather large amount of electricity while parked. I asked Tesla about this and the folks said that it was a software issue that the company is working to fix. Apparently, one of the software updates included a fix, but led to the car not reliably waking from a sleep mode. Understandably, they returned to the earlier software.
I believe that this is something that they can solve. Some of you remember that earlier generation iPhones had a similar problem that was remedied through a SW update.
My bill was also a bit higher than expected. 92% is peak efficiency - I would use something more like 88% to estimate (though that would only account for about 14% of your 23% difference). When you're sitting in one place, the trip meter total kWh measurement does NOT change - this makes me think that it is ONLY measuring usage while moving. The remaining range should account for *all* energy used, but I'm not sure where the total kWh in the battery is shown (or if it is shown), so that would be difficult to use to determine total energy used. I have some spreadsheets and reference charts posted at http://hannelconsulting.com/tesla that might come in handy.
I'd also be interested in what it cost to put in the meter (I'm with SCE, but situation is similar)
92% only applies from when you plug it in to when the charge is done, assuming ideal temperatures. All the rest of the time, the car is draining energy and lowering the overall efficiency, and its worse with extreme temperature.
Yes, "up to 92%", which means it is going to be lower depending on the current SoC of the battery, temperature, etc. In addition, that describes only the losses in the charger itself - you have other losses:
- the battery loses about 2.5kWh/day just from running the electronics (we will get much of this back when they re-enable sleep mode)
- the mobile connector or other EVSE has some loss
- if it is cold, the battery needs to be heated
- running the heater when you aren't in it (ie, triggered from the mobile app) does not show up in the dashboard
I need to go through my data now that I have had the Model S a month, but when I analyzed it for the LEAF, I was averaging 87% efficiency for everything from the panel to the batteries.
In your case, after you subtract out the 2.5kWh/day, you seem to get about 90% efficiency (595/(735-77.5)), so I would say you have about what is expected and the big issue is the loss of sleep mode. If you had 4.1 for most of the month, then that would put your efficiency down to around 86%, which wouldn't be unexpected either (especially if you were mostly charging a battery that hadn't been depleted much).
There are a number of steps in having the charge station installed that are hidden from the customer but not the electrician. Southern California Edison has an excellent document on the subject geared toward electricians. It makes the process easy to understand for the customer as well. I found this single document helpful in deciding what meter changes to consider and the total work involved.
The customer pays the electrician for the installation of an optional extra meter panel plus junction boxes. However, SCE does not charge the customer for their part in consultation, planning, and the mounting of a second meter with the supply wiring changes to the meters.
Don't forget the rate plans. One web page makes it easy to compare all the SCE EV rates. Notice the 60 cent rate for a single meter time of use plan during peak 2nd tier usage.
In tribute to Volker, here's an earlier discussion of the lost charge issue:
Great info. I'm on PG&E's E9 with a single meter. I'm now looking at a second meter as the panel is less than 40 ft from the current wall connector. To bad PG&E can't deal with it as a single meter and just increase the baseline. I'm sure there is endless regulatory approvals required for any rate plan.
Has anyone heard any details on PGE's "new" EV rate schedules coming in March?
They are replacing the E9 rate plans which will go away. Just curious as I'm considering
switching to E9A soon.
@Hills, sure either way to look at it is fine, but you can't mix them -- 92% charger efficiency means that 92% of the power that reached the charger made it to the battery, so the number for comparison there is 19% loss, or 81% overall efficiency.
Even with my electricity bill doubled, it still costs me less than 1/4 of what I used to spend on gas.
The Web site says the new rate that replaces E9 will be an optional switch for those on E9 already. But by 2014 the switch will be mandatory. The new EV rate will be un-tiered time of use.
You can get a 19 page PDF which describes the new rate from the link below. Basically (approx) off peak ~ $0.1, partial 0.165 winter 0.2 summer, peak 0.27 winter 0.36 summer. Looks like the time of use will be same in summer and winter, and the same as the current E9-summer. For those of us on the coast, where the base usage tier is laughably low (unless you are single and live in a bedsit) this will probably be a significant improvement. If you live in the interior, not so advantageous.
See http://www.pge.com/en/myhome/environment/whatyoucando/electricdrivevehic...
I posted th e PGE rate schedules for E6 and E9 on this post http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/pge-experimental-electric-rate-s...
I installed my NEMA 14-50 outlet for $250.00. Interoir Outlet was on same wall as the exterior service panel about 5 ft of power cable used.
I've decided to stay on E6 rates since I over produce on an annual true-up basis. Wondering if installing a second E9 meter is possible.

two pictures from the day I met husband.
Friday, October 8
So here's how it went down.
Girl is lost. Girl is trying to find her way through the big line of people waiting for their University ID's so she isn't late for work. Girl walks right past boy and doesn't notice. Boy notices girl. Boy stops girl. Boy uses clever lines like, "Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" Girl isn't impressed. But girl notices boy is very cute. Suddenly girl forgets that she is still frantically searching for a way to get through the line of people and get to work on time. She also forgets boy's name when he tells her. Girl forgets things easily when girl's heart starts beating kind of fast. Boy tells girl that he was actually serious. Boy really does recognize girl. Turns out, boy served his mission near girl's home. Turns out, boy met girl's family one night when girl was at work. Turns out, boy saw a picture of girl in her house and somehow remembered it after all this time. Now girl's heart is really beating fast. Boy asks for girl's number. Girl gives it to him. Boy calls her that day. They go out. On the first date, girl gets green thing stuck in girl's front teeth. Boy doesn't tell her. Things are not going so well for girl. But regardless of embarrassing green things, boy decides he still likes girl. They go out again. And again. And again. Boy has still not kissed girl. Girl is getting kind of worried that boy thinks they are just friends. So girl calls her mom. Mom knows what to do. So girl puts on her black dress. The one that makes girl's curves come out of hiding. They go out again. Boy kisses girl. Definitely girl's best kiss ever. And boy hasn't stopped kissing girl since.

I've just found you fairly recently and have been reading your older entries for the past few days, getting a feel for your blog and your wardrobe and I'm diggin' it. Really.
When I read this I decided I should tell you that your storytelling skills are adorable. As is the story itself! Classy with a heavy dosage of spunk. You and your whole blog seem that way.
I look forward to the times when I launch Safari and I see a little blue star above your homepage's picture. :)

You're funny and I LOVE your outfits, and you remind me a lot of myself. Which is why I'm posting a comment on this particular entry. I also met my husband on the first day of college. Well, it was my first day. It turned out he was only working there (we are 7 years apart). Ok, I've said my peace (think that's the right 'peace'). Thank you for writing such a fun blog that I am now addicted to. <3

This is wonderful. Just simply wonderful. The kind of story that makes me giggle as though it was really happening to me. From the ID line to the green teeth and then the killer black dress, I laughed and smiled and blushed a little. Keep kissing and being in love, because you two look perfect together, even in ID pictures that rarely turn out flattering. Bravo.

Bono Gossip
Bono Bono gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
This weekend marks the end of Pride Month but, of course, never the end of Pride. Pride Month is June, as we know, because Stonewall happened in June, 50 years ago now; as a matter of fact, the exact anniversary was today and through the weekend. Read Full Intro
Mimi & Leo
FameFlynet, Neil Warner/ Splash News, Handout/ Getty Images
The 3rd Annual Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Saint Tropez Gala happened last night. This is when Leo invites a handful of movie stars and celebrities and several handfuls of models to mingle with European billionaires to raise money for environmental causes. Full Story
Martin Lawrence gets papped
Jix Jax Joe/ AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have been creeped at a restaurant once I think by another patron. And one time she was walking backstage at a Coldplay show and in the background you could see him. But there's never been a pap shot of them in the same frame with both their faces before. Full Story
Skeeve & Skeeze
Dominique Charriau/ Pierre Suu/ Getty
Leonardo DiCaprio hosted a fundraiser last night in Saint Tropez to raise money for his foundation. It's a gala. And he still looks gross. Many of Leo's celebrity friends showed up to support him. Jared Leto was there. Bono performed (he owns an estate nearby) and so did Robin Thicke. Full Story
Taylor Swift: Globes longest train
FameFlynet, Jason Merritt/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Charley Gallay/ Getty Images
Taylor Swift wore Carolina Herrera. I don't think I saw a dress with a longer train. Guess what I don't like about it. Yes. It's taffeta. And she's meeting her prince with a sash across his chest who's carrying a sword on his way to rescue her. OK so that makes total sense. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Many thanks to the major players for their Christmas kindness - no eloping, no divorcing, no adopting, no getting caught cheating, no super scandal to interrupt the long holiday weekend giving the gossip business an extended break. Is Matthew McConaughey considered a Major Player anymore? Was he ever? Not being facetious. Just really curious about how you'd rank him. In some conversations, "Major Player" includes a Kardashian. I'd like to believe that that sh-t peaked in 2011.
It'll be a light week of posting until everyone resumes a normal schedule right after the New Year. For those of you who keep asking about Blake and Ryan though, and there are a lot of you, yes, I do have exclusive details about their multi-destination Christmas. More on that later.
Wouldn't it have been great to have been in Ireland, at the entrance to St Stephen's Park in Dublin, to see Bono and Glen Hansard busking for charity on Christmas Eve?
Yours in gossip,
From The Sky Down
You'll have to excuse the huge Canadian flag plastered all over this article. It's just... there was a lot of swagger to go around last night at the opening of the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival as Bono and the Edge arrived to screen Davis Guggenheim's From The Sky Down, a documentary about Achtung Baby, the album that brought the band back from the brink. Full Story
A face untouched
Christy Turlington attended the Modelinia Beautiful Friends Forever Bracelets event in NY yesterday to Benefit Save The Children. We debate a lot about who's had what done and how etc etc etc and we disagree on a lot too but can we agree to agree all the time, every single day that this is all natural and perfect? Always? I will FIGHT you on it. Full Story
Madonna, Sean, and Elvis
I always wished Madonna's birthday was not on August 16. Because August 16 is when Elvis died. It seemed like bad luck to me. I've mentioned my Elvis obsession when I was younger, right? One of the details that always upset me was how heavy his coffin was. Oh Elvis. Anyway, today is Madonna's 52nd. Full Story
Bono on break
As you know, Bono had emergency back surgery in May necessitating the postponement of the North American leg of the U2 360 Degree tour until fall. He's been convalescing at his home Eze-sur-Mer but on Sunday borrowed Sir Philip Green's (Topshop) helicopter to go house shopping in Nice close to where the Brange and the Beckhams live. Full Story
Ben Barnes, Oscar Wilde, CS Lewis, and Bono
Movie release dates are very confusing. I thought Dorian Gray was out a long time ago. And it's available now on Air Canada, at least it was when we flew Toronto to Frankfurt en route to Nice. So I thought it had already opened in North America but now I'm not entirely sure since Ben Barnes was promoting it today in Spain. Full Story

It is "free to play" which I think means micro-tran$action$. You can sign up to be considered for the Beta in early 2014. It appears to be a multi-player online game. This is both good and disappointing at the same time. The best multi-player is going to be 1v1, but I don't think it'll be designed that way.
Also no epic campaign.

Bauer NSX Ice Hockey Skates
The Bauer NSX Ice Hockey Skates are constructed using Bauer's injected weave quarter panel. This construction offers great flexibility to skaters that aren't looking for pro-level stiffness.
Inside the skate, the NSX has anaform foam ankle pads covered by a microfiber liner. This liner helps provide a comfortable fit and works to keep the foot secure in the skate. The 2-piece 30oz felt tongue with metatarsal guard fits nicely to the top of the foot, allowing the foot to be properly secured inside the skate.
Quarter Package: Injected comp weave quarter
Lining Material: Microfiber
Ankle Padding: Anaform ankle pads
2-piece 30oz felt tongue with metatarsal guard
Footbed: EVA form
Thermoformable: N/A
Blade Holder: TUUK LIGHTSPEED Pro II
Runner: Stainless steel
Size guide
When choosing a skate size there are three key elements to look into. The first is overall skate size, the second is skate width and finally skate shape/profile. Below we have put together some information to help you with this choice for the Bauer skate range. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.
**PLEASE NOTE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED HERE IS A GUIDE ONLY & DOES NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT. THE CUSTOMER MUST CHECK THE SIZE & FIT THEMSELVES WHEN RECEIVING HOME DELIVERY OF ANY SKATES PRIOR TO SKATING, BAKING OR INDEPENDANT SHARPENING OF RECEIVED SKATES. TO CHECK CORRECT SIZING WE SUGGEST TAKING THE INSOLE OF THE SKATE OUT, PLACING IT ON THE FLOOR AND STANDING ON IT WITH YOUR FOOT WITH YOUR HEEL AGAINST THE BACK OF THE INSOLE. THERE SHOULD NO MORE THAN 0.5cm GAP BETWEEN YOUR BIGGEST TOE AND THE END OF THE INSOLE IF YOU HAVE STOPPED GROWING AND 1cm IF YOU ARE STILL GROWING. YOUR TOES SHOULD NOT TOUCH THE VERY FRONT OF THE SKATES WHEN STANDING IN THEM IN THE SKATING STANCE (KNEES BENT) WITH THE LACES TIED AND YOUR HEELS SHOULD NOT LIFT WHEN WALKING IN THE SKATES WITH THE LACES TIED TIGHTLY.**
On our site we have made sure to provide where possible the official brand skate size, the European shoe size equivalent as well as the UK shoe size equivalent to make it easier to pick the correct skates for you.
Another method available is to measure the length of your foot by placing it on a piece of paper and drawing round it with a pen (Making sure the pen is perpendicular to the foot during drawing). After this, measure the length of your drawing along it's longest point (from heel to the end of your biggest toe). Below is a chart of Bauer skate sizes and the lengths of the inside of the skates. You can use this to match up the length of your drawing with the length of the inside of the skates and pick the best fit for you. We suggest repeating this exercise for both feet.
Please note adults should select a skate measurement up to 0.5cm bigger than their drawing to allow for breathing room. Where as a still growing child should take a skate length that is up to 1cm bigger than their foot measurement to allow for growing room.
Skate Widths & Fit:
It is important to note the width the skates your interested in are listed as. Skate widths are noted by letters that range from C to EE. C being a thinner skate for narrower feet and EE being the widest possible. If you have wider or thinner feet it may be worth noting this as Ice Hockey skates tend to come as a D or R (For Regular) width as standard. You can get skates in these different widths but they often have to be ordered in.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EACH WIDTH IS ROUGHLY 2/10" or 5mm
The best method to work out your skate width at home is to take your foot drawing (As mentioned in the "Best Overall Size section) and measure the distance across the widest part of your foot. Then if you divide your foot length by your foot width you obtain what is called your foot width ratio. It is a rough method that gives you a general idea of which width will be best. The key thing to remember is that it doesn't take into account your instep size.
If you take your foot width ratio and compare it to the below image it should give you an idea of roughly which width would be best in which fit.
Using the image below you can see that if you have a width ratio above 3.0 your foot would be more suited to Low Volume boot like the Bauer Vapor in a regular or D width. If your ratio is 3.0 or just either side then you could either opt to select a medium volume boot like the Bauer Supreme in a regular or D width or go for the Bauer Vapor fit in a EE width.
If your ratio is between 2.5 and 3.0 then you would probably find a medium volume boot like the Bauer Supreme in a regular or D width will fit best. Again if you are very close to a 3.0 (Say a 2.9) you could opt to go for a Vapor fit in a EE width. Also if your ratio is 2.5 exactly you could opt to go for High Volume boot like the Bauer Nexus in a regular or D width or to go for a Bauer Supreme boot in a EE width.
Finally if your ratio is less than 2.5 then you should opt for a Bauer Nexus fit in a regular or EE width. If it is quite a bit lower than 2.5 then a Nexus fit in an EE width would be the best.
Again the ratio doesn't take into account instep so if you know you have a higher instep or have suffered from lace bite in the past you might consider sliding up the scale to accommodate. For example if your foot ratio is 2.9 but you have a high instep it may be worth going to either the EE width in the vapor fit or sliding up to the Supreme fit in a regular or D width.
Hopefully this information is helpful as it is the best information would can present online and doesn't guarantee a perfect fit or accommodate personal preference but will hopefully at least point you in the correct direction.
Skate Shapes/Profiles:
Different skate models tend to have different shapes to them, so if you have a wider heel but a smaller ball of your foot it may be worth looking into a skate shape that will accommodate that. Here is how the ice hockey skate models shape out.
Skate Baking:
Entry level ice/inline hockey skates can be broken in within a few sessions however the higher level models are often a lot stiffer to offer more support meaning they are harder to break in.
One way to speed up this process is to have your skates baked. This process involves heating up your skates briefly so that they are soft. You then put your skates on and leave them to harden again so they form more to your foot. This should only be done by a professional store/rink with an official skate bake oven. Doing this yourself at home will void your warranty.
You should really aim to bake skates that are listed as "thermoformable". These skates have thermoformable plastics inside the upper part of the skates that when heated become moldable. Skates without this plastic wont receive much benefit from being baked.
Please note each time you bake your skates you take a little bit of the life out of them meaning they wont last as long as they would if you didn't bake them.
Below are a list of skates on the current market that are thermoformable.
Understanding Skate Sharpening
For information and help on selecting the correct radius for you please see the below article.
Radius Explained
EVOLUTION SKATES would like to help players understand the technical side of sharpening to better determine what is the right fit for them.
The radius may be the most important thing regarding skate sharpening, yet also the most misunderstood. Most skaters don't know about setting up for a custom radius to suite your specific skating style. However, even minor changes in the radius will make the skate react and feel very differently. Therefore, we thought we would take a short bit of time to explain this to people if they are interested.
What is the Radius?
The radius is sometimes referred to as the hollow or groove. I'm willing to bet that you were never asked by a local shop or rink what radius you would like ground onto your skates!! That's partially because a lot of the people working there don't understand it properly. Also, the skate shops & rinks don't want to take time to readjust and re-dress their wheels to a new radius. this results in using up the wheel much more quickly, again cutting into their profit margins! So, most skate shops simply leave their diamond dresser set up at a "mid-point" around 1/2" which is a 8/16th" radius.
A SMALLER RADIUS results in a "deeper hollow", more pronounced tips, a "sharper" feel (we'll address sharpness next), and more edges (surface area). With more surface area in contact with the ice, the skater feels more grip, but also results in more drag (slightly slower).
A LARGER RADIUS results in the opposite: a more "shallow hollow", less pronounced tips, a "no so sharp feel", and less surface area in contact with the ice. This gives the feeling of less grip, but also gives much less drag (faster).
What is Sharp?
If someone makes a comment after a new sharpening that their skates aren't "sharp", what they really mean to say is that "This skate does not have enough edge to suit my skating style". Olympic speed skaters actually have their skates honed with no radius (just flat). They are looking for maximum glide. Obviously they have to be extremely careful in corners without the benefit of even a small radius to help in grabbing the ice (that is why when they fall it is almost always during a cross over in a corner). But, don't ever think these skates aren't sharp!
What Size Radius is Right for Me?
So, the all important question becomes: "What radius should I have on my skates?" The local shops & rinks don't even ask you what you want. Instead, they just stick with one size and sharpen all their skates to that size. When it comes to radii, one size does NOT fit all! There are many different things to take into account in determining the proper radius. Even after settling on one, you may want to make small adjustments on subsequent sharpenings to "fine tune" to your personal taste.
The factors that go into determining your radius include weight, skating style (skater assignment), and ice temperature, and skill level. We will look at these in more detail here.
WEIGHT- An extremely light skater can tolerate very small radii (deep hollow). Because of their lighter weight, they do not cause the skate to "dig" into the ice as much. A heavy skater trying to skate on a small radius will bite into the ice so hard they will have trouble stopping without chatter or going over the top of their skates. They will also lose glide to excess friction and be working harder. Of course, they will hold a very tight turn! Based upon weight, a general starting point would be as follows: very light (6/16th"); average (10/16th"); heavy (12/16th"); hockey goalie (14/16th"-20/16").
HOCKEY PLAYERS- 1/2" or 8/16th" Is the most common radius used however forwards will generally prefer smaller radii than defensemen of the same weight. According to a recent study of all NHL players 47% choose to skate on a 1/2" = 8/16th" ROH. The next most common ROH in the NHL is 5/8" = 10/16th" ROH. Goalies continue to have very large radii to "kick out" the puck without catching an edge.
FIGURE SKATERS: - Kids under 60lbs usually skate on 6/16th" radii. A 7/16th" radius will take care of most skaters above this. When in a professional program, it is best to discuss proper radii with the instructor, based upon the type of programs they will be performing.
RECREATIONAL SKATERS: - Again the most commonly used radi is 8/16th" but some skaters may prefer more glide and may prefer a 10/16th". Again this comes down to personal preference.
BANDY: Skaters prefer very shallow hollows to permit more glide, due to the increased skating times and larger playing surface.
ICE TEMPERATURE-Optimum ice temperature for a rink is usually around 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures from 17-23 is considered "hard hockey ice". 25-26 degrees is considered good figure skating ice. Usually on colder/harder ice, people prefer a slightly smaller radius (and vice versa)
SKILL LEVEL-As people get advanced and along the professional ranking, they tend to use smaller radii, as they have the combination of leg/ankle strength and talent to "get away with it".

Center for Law and Justice Records, 1985-2000
Center for Law and Justice (Albany, N.Y.)
12.75 cubic ft.
In the summer of 1984, Jessie Davis, a young Black man was shot and killed by police in his Arbor Hill apartment. His killing served to galvanize the African-American community in Albany to seek change in the way the Police Department treated community residents. One outgrowth of the community's outrage over the killing was the birth of The Center for Law and Justice in 1985. The Center helped to keep the case before the public, gave moral support to the Davis family, assisted attorneys with a federal lawsuit against the city, and organized community demonstrations and fundraising events to cover legal expenses related to the family's suit. The Center's overall mission has been to promote the empowerment of people to change what they believed was the oppressive nature of the total criminal justice system, although the organization has continued to focus much of its work on policing issues. Dr. Alice P. Green, founder and Executive Director of the Center for Law and Justice, Inc. donated 13 boxes of records to the M.E. Grenander Special Collections and Archives at the University at Albany Library in June 2000. In November 2000, three more boxes were donated.

Vinod Reddy, MathWorks
Electronic controls and embedded software represent a core development for automobile manufacturers and parts suppliers. Current models look to new methods for developing electronic controls, and embedded software is usually the most popular method. More and more companies are designing models that improve and support independent development. The main challenges they now face are: how to understand core abilities, and set up the expected target levels; and how to determine the areas with the highest priority, so as to rationally allocate resources to ensure improvement. MathWorks has decades of experience in the automobile industry, and in order to address these challenges, MathWorks has developed a mature model-based framework . This keynote presentation will briefly give an overview of this framework and discuss the current degree of competency in the automobile industry, including suggestions for China's automobile industry on how to attain the required proficiency requirements.

'Help' message leads to woman's rescue
A woman who spent four days lost in a national park in eastern Victoria has been rescued after writing 'help' in the sand of a riverbank.
Local police found a four-wheel drive belonging to Lynette Joyce Bond on the Deddick Trail in the Snowy River National Park near the New South Wales border on Saturday.
A note left with the car said it had broken down on Wednesday.
Police search and rescue crews and volunteer bushwalkers took part in a search for the 68 year old, which ended before midday yesterday when the Victoria Police airwing spotted her.
Police say Ms Bond had written 'help' in the sand on the banks of the Snowy River.
Ms Bond, from Mornington, south-east of Melbourne, was winched to safety.
She has been taken to hospital for a check-up but is believed to be in good health.
Police, State Emergency Service volunteers and volunteer bushwalkers helped search for the woman.

Officials were hoping to have both runways at LaGuardia Airport up and fully functional after the collapse of a plane's front landing gear sent it skidding along the tarmac and caused a temporary suspension of operations.
The front landing gear of arriving Southwest Airlines flight 345 collapsed Monday right after the plane touched down on the runway, officials said.
Ten passengers were treated at the scene, with six being taken to a hospital with minor injuries, said Thomas Bosco, Acting Director of Aviation for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the area airports. The six crew members were taken to another hospital for observation.
Bosco said the incident forced the temporary closing of the airport, with one runway coming back into service around 7 p.m. It was hoped both runways would be open Tuesday morning.
Dallas-based Southwest said there were 150 people on the flight coming from Nashville, Tenn., while the Port Authority said the total was 149.
Bosco said the nose gear of the plane collapsed when it landed at 5:40 p.m., and "the aircraft skidded down the runway on its nose and then veered off and came to rest in the grass area."
Bosco said there was no advance warning of any possible problem before the landing.
A passenger, Sgt. 1st Class Anniebell Hanna, 43, of the South Carolina National Guard, said the flight had been delayed leaving Nashville. Passengers had heard an announcement saying "something was wrong with a tire," she said, waiting in a room at LaGuardia several hours after the incident.
At LaGuardia, "when we got ready to land, we nosedived," said Hanna. She and some family members were coming to New York for a visit.
"I hit my head against the seat in front of me," she said. "I hit hard."
Emergency crews were seen spraying foam toward the front end of the plane on the tarmac. The Port Authority said the passengers exited the plane by using chutes.
Hanna said she was among the first to get off the plane, and could smell something burning when she got down to the tarmac. The passengers were put on a bus and taken to the terminal, where they were told to make lists of their possessions on the plane in order to get them back.
The FAA is investigating, as is the National Transportation Safety Board.
Richard Strauss, who was on a nearby plane waiting to take off for Washington, said the nose of the plane was "completely down on the ground. It's something that I've never seen before. It's bizarre."
A rear stairwell or slide could be seen extending from the Southwest flight, said Strauss, who owns a Washington public relations firm. His plane, which was about 100 yards from the Southwest flight, wasn't allowed to taxi back to the gate, he said.
Bobby Abtahi, an attorney trying to catch a flight to Dallas, was watching from the terminal and heard a crowd reacting to the accident.
"I heard some people gasp and scream. I looked over and saw sparks flying at the front of the plane," he said.
The incident came 16 days after Asiana Flight 214 crash-landed at San Francisco's international airport on July 6, killing two Chinese teenagers; a third was killed when a fire truck ran over her while responding to the crash, authorities said. Dozens of people were injured in that landing, which involved a Boeing 777 flying from South Korea.
Longtime pilot Patrick Smith, author of "Cockpit Confidential: Everything You Need to Know About Air Travel. Questions, Answers, and Reflections" and AskthePilot.com, said landing gear incidents are not high on the list of worries for pilots.
"It doesn't happen very often but I need to emphasize just how comparatively minor this is and how far, far down the hierarchy it is," he said. "From a pilot's perspective, this is nearly a non-issue. They make for good television, but this is far down the list of nightmares for pilots."
Associated Press writers Amanda Barrett, Deepti Hajela and Jennifer Peltz contributed to this report.

The sun releases energy (radiation) in many forms. The sunlight we see is one form. The heat we feel from the sun is another. Ultraviolet (UV) rays, a third type, are also invisible to the eye. UV rays cause sunburn. They can also damage your eyes and hurt your vision.
There are two types of UV rays: UV-A and UV-B. Over time, the effects of UV rays may help cause a number of eye problems.Learn More
You can protect your eyes from UV rays in two important ways: Know the dangers of UV rays. Wear proper eye protection and hats that block UV rays. UV rays can come from many directions. They radiate directly from the sun, but they are also reflected from the ground, from water, snow, sand and other bright surfaces.Learn More
Yes, everyone (including children) is at risk for eye damage from UV radiation that can lead to vision loss. Any factor that increases the amount of time you spend in the sun will increase your risk. People who work or play in the sun for long periods of time are at the greatest risk.Learn More
Sunglasses help you in two important ways. They filter light and they protect your eyes from damaging UV rays. Mounting evidence shows that exposure to UV rays can damage your eyes. Long-term exposure to UV rays can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration or skin cancer around the eyelids.Learn More
When you or your children play outdoor sports or work outside, you should think about both UV protection and proper safety eyewear.Learn More

Despite significant membership support for the idea, it appears Division III coaches will not soon be allowed to hold de facto tryouts on campus.
During its meetings this week in Indianapolis, the Division III Management Council struck down a proposal from the Division III Recruiting Working Group that would have permitted coaches to evaluate potential student-athletes' athletic abilities on campus.
The working group pushed for the change because it felt allowing potential student-athletes to come to campus would ease the travel burdens that recruiting places on coaches. But the council expressed concern that coaches' evaluations of athletic prowess would have too much sway over admissions decisions. The emphasis on academics, a core tenant of the Division III philosophy, would be diminished, the council argued. Council members also expressed concern that coaches would hold these evaluation sessions in addition to their already-swollen workloads rather than using them to replace numerous recruiting trips.
The council's decision contradicts opinions expressed by many in the membership: 84 percent of members who participated in a straw poll at the 2014 NCAA Convention indicated they wanted the recruiting working group to pursue legislation that would permit on-campus evaluations.
"I was surprised by the defeat," said Division III Management Council chair and Director of Athletics at Wilmington College, Terry Rupert. "I think it falls back to the Division III philosophy; some people had concerns about looking more like Divisions I and II. I think that's why it was defeated."
The other recruiting proposal brought to the council, one allowing institutions to use a non-binding athletics celebratory signing form, passed easily and will be subject to a membership vote at the 2015 NCAA Convention. The legislation would allow schools to provide prospective student-athletes that have been accepted for admission with a standard form produced by the NCAA. Those student-athletes could then use the form at signing ceremonies held in their high schools or communities alongside their peers who sign National Letters of Intent or similar documents indicating they will compete at Division I and II schools.
Unlike letters of intent in Division I or II, though, the Division III form will not bind a student-athlete to the school and will be completely ceremonial in function. Current rules permit signing ceremonies, but bar Division III student-athletes from signing a standard form provided by an NCAA institution, which, council members argued, dilutes the experience.
"I think moms and dads and kids get really excited about being able to sign something and to say that they're moving on with their athletic and their academic careers," Rupert said. "I think everybody wants that. Division II and Division I have done that for years and our kids have always felt a little left out."

despite worrying that Cueto is going to hurt himself yet again. it is great-o to see Cueto on the mound again.

Donald Seawell and Dean Singleton share birthday celebration; it was Seawell's 101st!
We're at Denver Country Club on Thursday night for a dinner where two well-known Coloradans — Donald Seawell and Dean Singleton — are celebrating their birthdays.
Seawell, founder and chairman emeritus of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, was 101 on Aug. 1, the same day that Singleton, chairman and publisher of The Denver Post turned 62.
The gathering was intimate; hostess Judi Wolf extended invitations only to immediate family and, in Seawell's case, the top executives and board of directors of the DCPA.
"Can you think of anything more appropriate than sharing Colorado Day with two men who have so significantly changed the face of our community?" she asked. "These are men who have fought many battles — and won the majority of them."
Even at the ripe old age of 101, Wolf added, "Donald is so alert and filled with such passion about what is yet to come down the pike."
Retired DCPA president Lester Ward and his wife, Rosalind, had their ideas about the secret to Seawell's longevity.
"Good genes, definitely," Rosalind said. "And fine wine, which he has probably been drinking for at least 90 years."
Lester Ward agreed, but added that Seawell's propensity for "making life exciting" also had something to do with it. "Don never held back. Whenever somethng new came along, he wanted to learn all about it."
Following dinner, Leonard Barrett, a member of Phamaly, Denver's highly respected troupe of differently abled performers, entertained guests with a medley of Broadway show tunes.
His first number? "Younger Than Springtime," from "South Pacific."
