The City of Auburn has had placed in its borders a large number of registered sex offenders, some of which have committed criminal sexual offenses against minors. A number of these sex offenders have been categorized as Level III sex offenders who have been determined to pose a high risk of committing another sexual crime.
This Council finds and determines that it is essential to assure residents of the City of Auburn that City government continues to make every effort to protect children from sex offenders.
This Council further finds and determines that it is in the best interests of City of Auburn residents to establish residency and proximity restrictions for Level III sex offenders.
Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to prohibit Level III sex offenders from residing within, or entering within, a radius of 500 feet measured from the main, or secondary, or tertiary entrances of a public or private school, nursery school, preschool, child-care facility, playground, or park.

received a Level III designation as defined under Article 6-C of the
New York State Correction Law.[Amended 5-15-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008]
A Level III sex offender as herein defined shall not reside within, or enter within, a radius of 500 feet measured from the main, or secondary, or tertiary entrances of a public or private school, nursery school, preschool, child-care facility, playground, or park. Notwithstanding, however, a Level III sex offender may enter within the five-hundred-foot radius solely for the purpose of employment, shopping or attending appointments, but in no event shall the sex offender enter onto the premises of a public or private school, nursery school, preschool, registered day-care center, playground, or park while working, shopping or attending any appointments.
Notification of passage of this article, and of these prohibitions, shall be delivered in writing, by the City of Auburn Police Department, to each and every Level III registered sex offender now residing, or in the future residing, within the City of Auburn. Notifications will also be delivered in writing by the City of Auburn Police Department to the New York State Police, the New York State Division of Parole, the Cayuga County Parole Department, all school districts and private schools within the City of Auburn, and all child-care facilities as defined in this article.

The headline, subhead and opening sentence of this item found on the Governing magazine web site are wrong, wrong, wrong. Check them out and then I'll share why and the fact that what is taking place is a very, very good thing.
Creating Competition for Charter Schools
Massachusetts is opening more "innovation schools" this fall to keep kids from transferring to charter schools and taking education dollars with them.
Every time a student is accepted into a publicly funded but independently-run charter school, the traditional public school he or she leaves loses money. To stay competitive with charter schools, Massachusetts enacted a law last year to allow for the creation of "innovation schools," a hybrid between charter and public schools, reports the Boston Globe. Like charters, a committee at each innovation school has control over all curriculum, staffing and budget decisions, allowing for the needs of the individual students and school to be taken into account. Unlike charters, though, the hybrid-model schools have to negotiate their freedom with the superintendent and abide by all contract provisions from the unions, which support the new schools. About a dozen innovation schools are expected to open this fall, following another dozen next year. They can be created from scratch or converted from existing ones (if two-thirds of the teachers agree). This past year, three districts tested the idea by launching schools with unique focuses: one caters to the emotional and social well-being of students in poverty, another operates almost entirely in cyberspace, while another focuses on college prep. Similar schools have also been seen in Baltimore, Colorado and Cleveland.
So what are the problems?
- I hope traditional school districts aren't trying to best serve their students with a variety of strong education options simply to "compete with charter schools"
- Pretty much the same reasoning applies for the subhead. Sure, the district doesn't want to lose students, but would it really embrace innovation solely for that reason?
- Finally, the subhead and first sentence both state that a student goes to a charter school and the home district loses money. That fight has been played out endlessly in Indiana in recent years during debates on charter school caps, school funding and related legislation. The simple response: Are taxpayers funding schools or are they funding students? Why shouldn't the money follow the child?
Despite my qualms with the beginning of the story, what's taking place in Massachusetts (and other cities cited in the story and I'm sure a few other places) is exactly what should be happening in school districts across the country. It's what charter school supporters have said would happen — the education establishment embracing innovation.
Are they doing it because of the competition, because of the serious shortcomings for students with the "we'll do it this way because we've always done it this way" mentality or because it's simply the right thing to do? I would like to assume it's the latter reason, but maybe the best answer is that the reason doesn't matter as long as innovation is embraced and our young people benefit.

Explore America's Campgrounds
Small camper trailers provide a comfortable living space and numerous advantages over large trailers. They are lightweight and towing is possible with small vehicles. The small camper also fits into small camping sites and is capable of navigating narrow roads. Constructing a small camper is accomplished with basic tools and minimal materials. The enclosed cargo trailer is the most expensive piece, and scrap materials are easily obtained to reduce building costs.
Items you will need
Cargo trailer
Pressure washer
14-by-14 camper roof vent
Masking tape
Jig saw
Silicone caulking
1/8-inch drill bit
Crescent wrench
2-by-4 lumber
3-inch wood screws
1/2-inch plywood
1-inch wood screws
L-shaped bracket
Purchase a small cargo trailer with enclosed walls. Look for a trailer that has standing room but a short body for easy towing. Cargo trailers are lightweight and ideal for converting to a small camper.
Clean the interior of the trailer with a pressure washer. Park the trailer on a slope and allow the water to drain out of the interior. Let the trailer dry for three hours.
Purchase a 14-by-14 camper roof vent. Mark the 14-inch square on the camper roof with masking tape. Use a jigsaw to cut out the roof section. Apply a bead of silicone caulking to the exterior edge of the hole and set the top section of the roof vent in place. Use a 1/8-inch bit to drill through the vent holes and the trailer roof. Insert the vent screws through the holes. Enter the trailer and align the bottom section of the vent with the screws. Attach the nuts to the screws and tighten with a crescent wrench to complete the installation.
Build a bed to fit the width of the front section of the trailer and the length of your body. Construct the base with 2-by-4 lumber and 3-inch wood screws. Attach a vertical 2-by-4 to each corner and one vertical 2-by-4 for each foot of perimeter. Use 2-by-4 lumber and 3-inch wood screws to create a perimeter support around the top of the vertical posts. Cover the top of the bed with 1/2-inch plywood. Attach an L-shaped metal bracket to the base of the bed to secure it to the floor.
Build a table using the remaining length of wall space on one side of the trailer. The bed doubles as a sitting area, and the table is for cooking. The remaining space is used as a small living area. Build the 1-foot-wide table with four 2-by-4 legs, connected at the top with 2-by-4 lumber and 3-inch wood screws. Cover the top with 1/2-inch plywood and 1-inch wood screws. Secure the table to the floor by attaching an L-shaped bracket to each leg and to the floor.
- Secure all of the furniture to the floor and use bungee cords to secure gear to the furniture. Failure to secure gear may result in damage while driving.
- Store extra gear and kitchen items in plastic storage bins. Leave a gap in the vertical bed posts large enough to store the bins beneath the bed. Do not build extra furniture, as it will add unnecessary weight to the small camper.

Availability date:
The box set contains:
- 7 exquisite metal Onna-Bugeisha models
- cards to play Test Of Honour
- Campaign rules booklet
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
Onna-Bugeisha, a female martial artist, are members of the samurai class. Noblewomen trained to fight for their homes, their honour and their family. These women were not ornaments; they were as dangerous as their male counterparts, amply able to defend their homes and property while the armies were away on campaign. Historically Onna-Bugeisha have been associated with the Naginata and Kaiken as fighting weapons; one very long and one very short! That is not to say they were limited to those weapons and yumi, yari, katana and teppo all feature in an Onna-Bugeisha's armoury.
Onna-Bugeisha have existed as long as there have been people on the Japanese archipelago although not named as such until much later. The earliest ones being as much myth as a legend, including the very real Empress Jingū (169-269 AD), widow of the Emperor Chūai. She is purported to have led an invasion of Korea which was known for its success without any casualties. Living to 100 years old she is still honoured today and often held as an example of everything the Onna-Bugeisha symbolise.
The warlord studio has worked hard to bring you these stunning and intricately detailed models, perhaps some of the best we have made!

Turkey to open military base in Somalia
Mogdishu, Somalia ( Anadolu Agency + DIPLOMAT.SO) – Turkey has finished its first military base in Somalia and will help train the country's army to fight the deadly al-Shabaab terror group, a senior Turkish source told Anadolu Agency on Saturday.
A Turkish military attache speaking on condition of anonymity said the UN-backed base will be operational by the start of 2017.
About 200 Turkish officers will be deployed to the facility in Mogadishu — the Somali capital — to deliver the first stage of training to over 10,000 Somali National Army troops and others soldiers from across Africa, he confirmed.
Turkish military officials in Somalia also said Ankara will open a firm in Mogadishu to make Somali military uniforms.
Speaking exclusively to Anadolu Agency on Friday, Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamed praised Turkey's involvement in the Horn of Africa country:
"Turkey's prominent role in Somalia can be seen at all levels: humanitarian, infrastructure, health and investment.
"I am not exaggerating if I say that the historic visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Somalia in 2011 was a turning point in the evolution of security and stability in the country," he said.
"Turkey is a historical key partner for Somalia as Turkey stood with us at a time when we were ignored by the whole world," he added. "Turkey drew the world's attention on Somalia and the Somali people respect and appreciate the Turkish government and the Turkish people as well."
This year Erdogan visited Somalia for the third time in three years and opened Turkey's biggest embassy in Africa.For more news and stories, join us on Facebook,Twitter , or contact us through our Email: firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com

8 Series IV Volume I- Serial 127 - Correspondence, Orders, Reports and Returns of the Confederate Authorities, December 20, 1860 – June 30, 1862
|Page 8
Southern States to resume the powers they have delegated to the Federal Government and interpose their sovereignty for the protection of their citizens.
What, then, are the circumstances under which and the issues upon which he was elected? His own declarations and the current history of the times but too plainly indicate he was elected by a Northern sectional vote, against the most solemn warning and protestations of the whole South. He stands forth as the representative of the fanaticism of the North, which, for the last quarter of a century, has been making war upon the South, her property, her civilization, her institutions, and her interests; as the representative of that party which overrides all constitutional barriers, ignores the obligation of official oaths, and acknowledges allegiance to a higher law than the Constitution, striking down the sovereignty and equality of the States, and resting its claims to popular favor upon the one dogma-the equality of the races, white and black.
It was upon this acknowledgment of allegiance to a higher law that Mr. Seward rested his claims to the Presidency in a speech made by him in Boston before the election. He is the exponent, if not the author, of the doctrine of the irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery, and proposes that the opponents of slavery shall arrest its further expansion, and by Congressional legislation exclude it from the common territories of the Federal Government, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction. He claims for free negroes the right of suffrage and an equal voice in the Government; in a word, all the rights of citizenship, although the Federal Constitution, as construed by the highest judicial tribunal in the world, does not recognize Africans imported into this country as slaves or their descendants-whether free or slaves-as citizens.
These were the issue presented in the last Presidential canvass, and upon these the American people passed at the ballot box. Upon the principles then announced by Mr. Lincoln and his leading friends we are bound to expect his administration to be conducted. Hence it is that in high places among the Republican party the election of Mr. Lincoln is hailed not simply as a change of administration, but as the inauguration of new principles and a anew theory of government, and even as the downfall of slavery. Therefore it is that the election of Mr. Lincoln cannot be regarded otherwise than a solemn declaration, on the part of a great majority of the Northern people, of hostility to the South, her property, and her institutions; nothing less than an open declaration of war, for the triumph of this new theory of government destroys the property of the South, lays waste her fields, and inaugurates al the horrors of a San Domingo servile insurrection, consigning her citizens to assassinations and her wives and daughters to pollution and violation to gratify the lust of half-civilized Africans. Especially is this true in the cotton-growing States, where, in many localities, the slave outnumbers the white population ten to one.
If the policy of the Republicans is carried out according to the programme indicated by the leaders of the party, and the South submits, degradation and ruin must overwhelm alike all classes of citizens in the Southern States. The slave-holder and non-slave-holder must ultimately share the same fate; all be degraded to a position of equality with free negroes, stand side by side with them at the polls, and fraternize in all the social relations of life, or else there will be

Too much sugar is terrible forour health and most of us overindulgedaily.
There are alternatives, of course — aspartame-sweetened diet drinks, sucralose-stuffed snacks, stevia-infused protein powders. But not everyone is a fan of fake sugar. Some cringe at the notoriously too-sweete taste; others cite the spotty scientific consensus on their safety.
Enter international food giant Nestlé, who announced last week that it has come up with a way of altering the chemical structure of sugar itself so that less is needed to provide the same honeyed flavour.
The alleged result? Less calories, same taste.
"Imagine if your favourite chocolate bar tasted just as good, but with much less sugar," the company wrote in its release. "This could soon be a reality, thanks to a major breakthrough by Nestlé scientists."
The company is currently trying to patent the technology with hopes of introducing it as early as 2018, so for now it is not releasing any precise details. But Nestlé said it plans to use the product to reduce the sugar content of its candy (or "confectionery products," as the company calls them) by as much as 40%.
"It is sugar, but it is assembled differently so it can disassemble easily in your mouth with less going into your gastrointestinal tract," Dr. Stefan Catsicas, Nestle's chief technology officer, recently told the New York Times.
But while the development sounds promising, it might not be enough to make a measurable difference in our diets. Here's why.
Why less caloric candy probably isn't the solution
So, if you have a sweet tooth that prefers candies like Smarties, KitKat bars, and chocolate chips, this new product might sound like great news. Less sugar in your candy means you're consuming less calories when you indulge.
But what if most of the added sugar in your diet didn't come from candy? What if it came from things like baked goods, snack bars, and soda?
Unfortunately, the latter scenario is the one that most aptly describes the diets of most Americans. According to the latest National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most of the calories that Americans are getting from added sugar (around 70%) come from processed, "grain-based" foods. That includes things like cereal, granola bars, breads, and cakes. The remaining third or so come from sugary drinks like soda.
But Nestlé's new sugar product, at least as it is currently designed, cannot be mixed into sugary beverages, and the company has not yet discussed plans to add it to grain-based foods. "It is not something that can be mixed into your coffee" or used to sweeten soda, Dr. Casticas told the Times.
That means the new product might not do a whole lot for most of us in terms of reducing the sugar in our diets.
So what's the best way to cut back on the sugar we eat? Cut back on the foods where most of that sugar comes from, Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and public health at New York University (no ties to Nestlé the company), told Business Insider.
"The issue with sugar is how much," said Nestle, "so reducing sugar intake from sodas and grain-based desserts is a good idea."
NOW WATCH: This is how much sugar is in your favourite drinks

Legendary guitarist Steve Vai will release his famed "Naked Tracks" on CD for the first time in early June. Previously sold on Vai.com and iTunes as downloads only, Vai wanted to give his fans and players of all ages something special — an excellent practice tool for any guitarist.
Commented Vai: "Through the years, whenever I would mix my records I would usually do a mix of specific songs without the lead guitar. This allowed me to play along with the track or make loops to jam to, and because I figured perhaps some day maybe others would like to do the same. Voila! We have arrived at some day!"
"Naked Tracks" is housed in a special limited-edition digipack box set. This series of play-along CDs is designed to help create an atmosphere of focus so you can shred yourself into a personally-induced inspirational nirvana. Included in the set are five CDs featuring backing tracks from the following albums:
* "Passion And Warfare"
* "Sex & Religion"
* "Alien Love Secrets"
* "Fire Garden"
* "The Ultra Zone"
* "Alive In An Ultra World"
* "Real Illusions: Reflections"
You can download the liner notes, transcripts, tab, lead sheet and scores all available soon at www.vai.com/nakedtracks. Here Vai will give the various parameters regarding the key, scale, time signature and more of each track as well as guitar solo transcripts and tabs.
Steve Vai is one of the most influential guitarists of our time. The "Naked Tracks" box-set is a testament to his vanguard approach and creative mindset. This box set is a must-have for the aspiring guitarist, the seasoned guitarist and for all Steve Vai collectors.

So Ive been making these statements on the future of the web for quite some time, but just so I can prove I was "there first", I thought I should put them into writing!
Prediction 1: Browsers will download complete environments from a web site to display a web site.
By allowing browsers to download and execute really rich code natively, without weird hacks like Google Gears, we eliminate the requirement that all advancements in HTML standards be matched in lock step by all the browsers. Especially with the rise of mobile devices, I expect to see more and more browser types, not fewer, so keeping them all up to date and current will be harder and harder. And we open up the ability of content developers to deliver their content in whatever way makes sense, not just in whatever way the browsers support.
Prediction 2: "Connect" apps will become just part of the internet
Credit for the word "Connect" apps goes to David Recordon, however Ive been thinking for a while that all these social graphs just duplicate the graphs of pages on the internet. And I predict that eventually something like OpenID will be your entry point into these graphs. Youll browse to epugh.myopenid.com and depending on who you are, Facebook, LinkedIn, or a random stranger, youll get a list of nodes that describes my links to other entities, regardless of if they are people, sites, content, etc.

Microsoft announced the Xbox One and the first games it confirmed for the new system were four titles from EA Sports.
Electronic Arts sports division revealed FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, and UFC are all in the works for the Xbox One. The publisher is using a new graphics engine, called Ignite, that EA claims will bring in a new sense of realism.
"Today marks the beginning of a broad strategic partnership between EA and Microsoft," EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson said. "We share a common vision with Microsoft that games should be intelligent, dynamic, connected, rich with emotion, and — most importantly — fun."
Wilson went on to promise that all four games will fundamentally change the way people play.
"Ignite was designed specifically to blur the line between real and virtual, " he said. "Sports are just as much about your head as they are about your feet or hands. We built new technology that allows players to make decisions with four times more calculations per second."
The increased graphics power of the Xbox One helps EA Sports show more of the playing field at any one time. This should give players more context during the game or match.
EA went on to show a sizzler reel of its four announced games. It didn't have much gameplay, but the animation is smooth. We've included a gallery below:

Email control: how to manage email on holiday and at work
Have you ever complained about having too many emails, when 80% of your inbox consists of newsletters you've signed up to? I have. It's a cheeky excuse for spending half a day sifting through Outlook when you return to work after a holiday, not getting a bit of work done.
Email is one of the most useful inventions ever. Many of us couldn't work without it. But it can take over our lives and get in the way of doing good work.
So in order to enjoy a happy, healthy working life, we need to understand our relationship with email, and occasionally, shake things up a bit. Here are some ways to think differently about work email.
Changing your email mindset
"Email is broken. Or, more precisely, email has broken us. On a regular basis it inspires hatred, guilt, anxiety, anger, and despair. The very last thing we think about when we think about email is its utility. And yet we know it's a useful and necessary part of our everyday lives."
Jocelyn Glei starts his book Unsubscribe: How to Kill Email Anxiety, Avoid Distractions, and Get Real Work Done with a harsh reality check on the nature of office emails. Her theory is that email should be our tool, not our master. Too many of us are happy to sink into reactive mode, with our attention pinged around like a pinball when emails come in from every direction.
And checking email is addictive. Our lizard brains enjoy a little dose of neurochemical excitement when we see the (1) appear next to the red envelope.
On a slot machine, you never know what the result will be when you pull the lever, and the flashing lights along with that slightly delayed result fires up our pleasure chemicals nicely. With email, it's the same. Opening an email that might contain entertainment, praise, or a new business deal? Can be pretty exciting. Makes you want to check it more and more.
But that compulsion to check your inbox can waste time and ruin your concentration. So how about doing things a bit differently?
Managing email in the office
Let's start at the start: mornings. Jocelyn Glei highlights the absurdities of checking your email first thing in the morning:
"...it's usually counter-productive to start your day by letting other people's demands set your priorities."
Although it seems the obvious thing to do, making incoming email your priority is a sort of admission that you don't know what you need to be doing at the start of the day. If you set yourself up to be reactive from the day's outset, it's difficult to properly plan your day, and carve out time for the things that you really need to do.
So, let's get proactive. Cal Newport suggests scheduling email-checking time in advance. His theory of Deep Work (the opposite of Shallow Work) is all about making time for periods of deep concentration without interruption. That goes for email as well as messing about on phones and social networks. He reckons you should do your most mentally demanding work first thing, and then take a 'distraction break' to check the inbox.
This can be helped by disabling notifications (so you only see new emails when you decide to open your inbox) or using a tool like RescueTime which tracks the amount of time you spend on websites and apps. When you realise you're spending 2 hours a day surfing your inbox, it's a great incentive to stop.
It's also a good idea to unsubscribe from almost everything. Seems excessive, but if you're like me, you probably get emails from shoe shops that you only end up buying from 1% of the time. With the rest, you spend time and mental energy scanning through, before deciding to send it to the bin. Long-term, that's a lot of time wasted. Unsubscribe.
Managing email while away from work
We know email is addictive. That's why so many of us can't quite switch off when we're taking time off work. But this can be changed with a savvy bit of preparation.
Here are a few things to consider before you leave the office:
- Decide in advance what needs to be replied to. What constitutes an emergency?
- Delegate as much as you can before you leave. Who can deal with issues in your absence?
- Remove email from your phone (or at least the notifications) and let people know that you're doing it, so they don't expect an immediate response.
- Set your out-of-office autoresponder to let people know you'll be unavailable.
- Decide what you should be doing instead of email. Pause for a moment and think about what's meaningful. If it really is important, you shouldn't have an issue switching off the notifications for a while and getting on with things.
Remember: you're out of the office for a reason. Rest is the goal.
"We misunderstand the relationship between work and rest. Work and rest are not polar opposites… Rest is not work's adversary. Rest is work's partner. They complement and complete each other." - Alex Soojung-Kim Pang
You need to make time to switch off if you want to do good work when you come back, and you can't call it a holiday if you're still checking your emails.
So - make email your tool, not your master. Instead of becoming a human network router, constantly sending and receiving messages like a switchboard operator, make email work for you, and working life will become a lot less frantic.

The Act introduces a reduced corporation tax rate of 15% for companies that are newly incorporated to carry out local assembly of motor vehicles. The reduced rate is applicable for the first five years from the date of commencement of operations. Provided that the rate shall be extended for an additional period of five years if they achieve a local content of 50% of the ex-factor value of the motor vehicles.
In line with the changes to the PAYE bands, the Act enhances the tax bands for taxation of withdrawals from NSSF, registered pension funds and provident funds (before the expiry of fifteen years from the date of joining the fund) where the withdrawals are in excess of the tax-free amounts specified under Section 8(4) and 8(5) of the Income Tax Act, in any one year.

Virtual reality is taking over so many different areas of our lives.
VR is in the early stages of making its way into the broader market.
It can be used in tourism organizations for management and marketing purposes, entertainment, accessibility, education or heritage preservation.
Furthermore, Virtual reality as a marketing tool is very powerful for promoting remote destinations, including universities targeting foreign students .
360 Video Virtual Tour
Together with our sister company Mood Studio we have created an immersive 360 video Virtual Tour for Bond University on the Gold Coast.
Bond wanted to show their facilities to all the local and international students that couldn't come to their open day.
Traditional photography and video couldn't solve this issue but a VR app has done it.
360 VR video application allowed prospective students to immerse themselves in the daily live of Bond University students from day to day life in Library though Sport grounds and even student accommodation.
In addition, we also provided potential students with 360 videos of university faculties like Architecture, Law or Film and Television.
Check out a full 360 video showing all locations below!
Virtual tours wouldn't be possible without the VR goggles. To allow anyone to use the app we also produced 4000 fully customized Virtual Reality Cardboard Goggles that work with any kind of phone.
Both the app and Goggles became an instant success at international trade fairs.
It is also the best sales tool for student scouts working for Bond University all around the world.
Click HERE to access Bond Now 360 video VR desktop application.
You can also download the mobile app for Android or IPhone.
The app allows you to immerse yourself in Bond University campus and state-of-the-art facilities in a 360 degree video tour.
Watch as the bustling activity of university life unfolds around you and take in every aspect of our amazing learning spaces.
Please note: You will achieve the best result by accessing the mobile app from Samsung Galaxy S6 or Iphone 6 and insert it into VR cardboard goggles.

Almost all my friends headed back to their classrooms today to get ready for school starting next week. It's a busy time getting classrooms ready, sitting through endless professional development, learning the latest trends, completing data analysis, meeting new teammates, and prepping curriculum. I always found it hard to sit through those meetings when all I wanted to do was be in my classroom prepping for my newest students, so I usually went in a week early.
Sorting & SiftingI would spend a week, usually by myself, sifting through the things I shoved in my closet and file cabinet before I left. I'm not one to sort and organize in May or June when I am burnt out and exhausted, so I usually pile and hide and wait until I'm fresh to conquer those messes and see what I really care to keep and reuse. It might take me covering every desk in my classroom with a stack of papers and buying up file folders from office stores like they're going out of business, but I would soon have every paper in a folder in a file in a drawer. Well that, or in a trashcan.
Next, I would get to decorating my walls and prepping my bulletin boards. Unfortunately, where I live, the fire marshall is a bit strict and so a lot of the cute things I see on other blogs and on Pinterest boards would never be allowed here. Fabric? No. Rugs? No. Plants? No. Lots of wall coverings? No. You get the idea. In fact I only had one bulletin board, and I used it for my behavior plan, so it wasn't much to look at. I did, however, decorate some of the other walls with character posters or content posters, so I had a little bit more to do than just one bulletin board. But as you can see, I'm not the world's best decorator.
Color-Coding with the Rainbow
One thing I would do before school starting, is to get my system of organization into place. I teach the kids a lot of routines and habits of organization to help them adjust to middle school, but also to help with my sanity. Probably the most helpful system I have used over the years is my use of color to organize and track classes. Every class is assigned a color for the year and I use that color for everything I do with that class. Whether it's writing on the whiteboard, passing out papers, managing their rewards, storing their portfolios, etc. everything I do is in that class color. It's also a technique I recommend to the students when they go to organize their supplies for each class and many who follow my advice come back to thank me for it later.
Reflection Space
Another area I like to set up is my Reflection Space. This is a little corner out of the way where students can go to take a time-out and think about their behavior when they're having a rough day. It's not much. It's simply a desk and chair, a few character posters to help strike the mood, and a pocket folder with my behavior journals tucked inside. Students simply pull out a behavior journal and complete the questions which ask them to describe their behavior and what better choices could have been made. When they're ready to rejoin the class, they hand it over to me, and we set up a time to call their parents.
A Piece of Home
Finally, my last step in setting up my classroom is to prepare my own little space. I figure that since we spend more waking hours in our classroom than we do at home during the week, that we ought to have a little slice of home while we are away. So I set up a corner, behind my desk, that makes me feel calm and comfy. It helps me when I'm having a rough day, and it helps the kids to connect to me and see that I really am more than just a teacher, that I am a person with a whole life around me.
So that is how I set up my classroom to prepare for the year. Of course, don't forget all those papers to go home on the first day. I keep mine on my prep table up front, ready to go. I'm kind of missing it this year, but not enough to go back into the classroom...maybe just enough to offer my assistance to a friend. We'll see. Good luck to those of you headed back. I wish you the best with your students. I know what you do isn't easy, and I commend you for doing it.

And he said to me: "This miserable way
is taken by the sorry souls of those
who lived without disgrace and without praise."
—Dante Alighieri, Inferno (Canto III)
According to Signor Dante, there are many sins that will consign a soul to one ring of hell or another. Perhaps that is reason why, upon reading his Inferno, I was most fascinated by the Ante-Inferno.
"These wretched ones, who never were alive"
Of course one assumes that the murderers, adulterers, avaristic, and blasphomous will suffer the Mintors' exacting evaluation. But the merely meh? Those that simply lived without praise or disgrace? Seems a little harsh.
"Now you must cast aside you laziness,"
my master said, "for he who rests on down
or under covers cannot come to fame;
and he who spends his life without renown
leaves such a vestige of himself on earth
as smoke bequeaths to air or foam to water.
Therefore, get up; defeat your breathlessness"
—Canto XXIV
"Defeat your breathlessness." Well, okay; that may have to be my new call to arms…. In a rare move I decided to purchase a copy of Dante's Inferno rather than check it out of a library. But pecuniary considerations pushed me to a used bookstore where I spent some time comparing alternate translations. In the end I went with a cheap paperback version which had the Italian on the verso and English on the recto. The translator was Allen Mandelbaum. But what did I know? I simply compared various lines and made my purchase based on the version that moved me more.
"O souls who are so cruel
that this last place has been assigned to you,
take off the hard veils from my face so that
I can release the suffering that fills
my heart before lament freezes again." (Canto XXXIII)
I began reading my purchase at my friends' house in Brooklyn (a lovely, dear-to-me couple who have generously allowed me to sleep on their couch half the week during my summer internship at the Met where I walk by the incredibly life-like Ugolino sculpture every work day [Ugolino was in the ninth circle]). It wasn't until I was asked who had done the cover art that I looked at the title page and became aware that the person who did the interior illustrations (not the cover art: that was Hans Mamling) was a professor of mine, Barry Moser.
In a kind of strange synchronicity, very soon after that discovery my relationship with the eminent Mr. Moser suddenly blossomed from a professor/student admiration into wonderful friendship. I mention that for two reasons: 1) I love the crazy coincidence of accidentally reading the book he illustrated and then at the very same time I am reading it being contacted by him. And 2) full disclosure. Although—I'd have high praise for the drawings regardless of knowing, or not, the artist. When I saw his depiction of the Centaur from Canto XII my jaw dropped. My only thought was how could have anyone ever drawn a centaur any other way? It is truly menacing.
But back to Dante. By some powerful art of contradiction, Dante (through the exquisitely talented Mandelbaum) describes the utter despair and terror of hell with the most beautiful language.
"I'd utter words much heavier than these,
because your avarice afflicts the world:
it tramples on the good, lifts up the wicked." ( Canto XIX)
I know a few corporations and politicians who should hear those words. It is quite a fun read. The book evokes so much thought about the nature of good and evil, heaven and hell, eternity and finality. But, there is also a strange avarice for, or fetishizing of punishment. The excessive nature of the punitive measures are almost absurd. And many of the crimes are….well…My son Augie was confused how anyone doesn't wind up in hell. He's only twelve and can see no one he knows would not be headed there. But more than that, I began to wonder things like: what does it really mean to be cold, wet, and damp (as in the third circle meant for gluttons) forever? If there is never anything other? No means of comparison? No hope of comparison? What does that mean?
Perhaps it is just a failure of my imagination to imagine a constancy of that level of pain that does not incapacitate or cause death, but so then, if you are already dead…then what? If you are already dead and suffering eternal pain what does pain or fear mean? Fear of what? Not death, obviously. It's all gruesome and terrifying but, as Augie put it, "After a while you'd get the routine. It'd just be boring."
*title from Canto II: Love prompted me, that Love which makes me speak.

In these after-days, when all things are touched with insoluble doubt, I am not sure of the purpose that had taken us into that little-visited land, I recall, however, that we had found explicit mention, in a volume of which we possessed the one existing copy, of certain vast primordial ruins lying amid the bare plateaus and stark pinnacles of the region. How we had acquired the volume I do not remember: but Sebastian Polder and I had given our youth and manhood to the quest of hidden knowledge; and this book was a compendium of all things that men have forgotten or ignored in their desire to repudiate the inexplicable.
We, being enamoured of mystery, and seeking ever for the clues that material science has disregarded, pondered much upon these pages written in an antique alphabet. The location of the ruins was clearly stated, though in terms of an obsolete geography; and I remember our excitement when we had marked the position on a terrestrial globe. We were consumed by a wild eagerness to visit the alien city. Perhaps we wished to verify a strange and fearful theory which we had formed regarding the nature of the earth's primal inhabitants; perhaps we sought to recover the buried records of a lost science... or perhaps there was some other and darker objective....
I recall nothing of the first stages of our journey, which must have been long and arduous. But I recall distinctly that we travelled for many days amid the bleak, treeless uplands that rose like a many-tiered embankment towards the range of high pyramidal summits guarding the secret city. Our guide was a native of the country, sodden and taciturn, with intelligence little above that of the llamas who carried our supplies. But we had been assured that he knew the way to the ruins, which had long been forgotten by most of his fellow-countrymen. Rare and scant was the local legendry regarding the place and its builders; and, after many queries, we could add nothing to the knowledge gained from the immemorial volume, The city, it seemed, was nameless; and the region about it was untrodden by man.
Desire and curiosity raged within us like a calenture; and we heeded little the hazards and travails of our journey. Over us stood the eternally vacant heavens, matching the vacant landscape. The route steepened; and above us now was a wilderness of cragged and chasmed rock, where nothing dwelt but the sinister wide-winged condors.
Often we lost sight of certain eminent peaks that had served us for landmarks. But it seemed that our guide knew the way, as if led by an instinct more subtle than memory or intelligence; and at no time did he hesitate. At intervals we came to the broken fragments of a paved road that had formerly traversed the whole of this rugged region: broad cyclopean blocks of gneiss, channelled as if by the storms of cycles older than human history. And in some of the deeper chasms we saw the eroded piers of great bridges that had spanned them in other time. These ruins reassured us; for in the primordial volume there was mention of a highway and of mighty bridges, leading to the fabulous city.
Polder and I were exultant; and yet we both shivered with a curious terror when we tried to read certain inscriptions that were still deeply engraved on the worn stones. No living man, though erudite in all the tongues of Earth, could have deciphered those characters; and perhaps it was their very alienage that frightened us. We had sought diligently during many years for all that transcends the dead level of mortality through age or remoteness or strangeness; we had longed for the elder and darker secrets: but such longing was not incompatible with fear. Better than those who had walked always in the common paths, we knew the perils that might attend our exorbitant and solitary researches.
Often we had debated, with variously fantastic conjectures, the enigma of the mountain-builded city. But towards our journey's end, when the vestiges of that pristine people multiplied around us, we fell into long periods of silence, sharing the taciturnity of our stolid guide, Thoughts came to us that were overly strange for utterance; the chill of elder eons entered our hearts from the ruins - and did not depart.
We toiled on between the desolate rocks and the sterile heavens, breathing an air that became thin and painful to the lungs, as if from some admixture of cosmic ether. At high noon we reached an open pass, and saw before us, at the end of a long and vertiginous perspective, the city that had been described as an unnamed ruin in a volmne antedating all other known books.
The place was built on an inner peak of the range, surrounded by snowless summits little sterner and loftier than itself. On one side the peak fell in a thousand-foot precipice from the overhanging ramparts; on another, it was terraced with wild cliffs; but the third side, flung towards us, was no more than a steep and broken acclivity. The rock of the whole mountain was strangely ruinous and black; but the city walls, though equally worn and riven, were conspicuous above it at a distance of leagues, being plainly of megalithic vastness.
Polder and I beheld the bourn of our world-wide search with unvoiced thoughts and emotions, The Indian made no comment, pointing impassively towards the far summit with its crown of ruins. We hurried on, wishing to complete our journey by daylight; and, after plunging into an abysmal valley, we began at mid-afternoon the ascent of the slope towards the city.
It was like climbing amid the overthrown and fire-blasted blocks of a titan citadel. Everywhere the slope was rent into huge, obliquely angled masses, often partly vitrified. Plainly, at some former time, it had been subjected to the action of intense heat; and yet there were no volcanic craters in that vicinity. I felt a vague sense of awe and terror, as I recalled. a passage in the old volume, hinting ambiguously at the fate that had long ago destroyed the city's inhabitants:
'For the people of that city had reared its walls and towers too high amid the region of the clouds; and the clouds came down in their anger and smote the city with dreadful fires; and thereafter the place was peopled no more by those primal giants who had built it, but had only the clouds for inhabitants and custodians.'
We had left our three llamas at the slope's bottom, merely taking with us provisions for one night. Thus, unhampered, we made fair progress in spite of the ever-varying obstacles offered by the shattered scarps. After a while we came to the hewn steps of a stairway mounting towards the summit; but the steps had been wrought for the feet of colossi, and, in many places, were part of the heaved and tilted ruin; so they did not greatly facilitate our climbing.
Tbe sun was still high above western pass behind us; and I was surprised, as we went on, by a sudden deepening of the charlike blackness on the rocks. Turning, I saw that several greyish vapoury masses, which might have been either clouds or smoke, were drifting about the summits that overlooked the pass; and one of these masses, rearing like a limbless figure, upright and colossal, had interposed itself between us and the sun.
I called the attention of my companions to this phenomenon; for clouds were almost unheard-of amid those arid mountains in summer; and the presence of smoke would have been equally hard to explain. Moreover, the grey masses were different from any cloud-forms we had ever seen. They possessed a peculiar capacity and sharpness of outline, a baffling suggestion of weight and solidity. Moving sluggishly into the heavens above the pass, they preserved their original contours and their separateness. They seemed to swell and tower, coming towards us on the blue air from which, as yet, no lightest breath of wind had reached us. Floating thus, they maintained the erectness of massive columns or of giants marching on a plain,
I think we all felt an alarm that was none the less urgent for its vagueness. Somehow, from that instant, it seemed that we were penned up by unknown powers and were cut off from all possibility of retreat. All at once, the dim legends of the ancient volume had assumed a menacing reality, We had ventured into a place of hidden peril — and the peril was upon us. In the movement of the clouds there was something alert, deliberate and implacable. Polder spoke with a sort of horror in his voice, uttering the thought that had already occurred to me:
'They are the sentinels who guard this region — and they have espied us!'
We heard a harsh cry from the Indian, who stood gazing and pointing upwards. Several of the unnatural cloud-shapes had appeared on the summit towards which we were climbing, above the megalithic ruins. Some arose half-hidden by the walls, as if from behind a breast-work; others stood, as it were, on the topmost towers and battlements, bulking in portentous menace, like the cumuli of a thunderstorm.
Then, with terrifying swiftness, many more of the cloud-presences towered from the four quarters, emerging from behind the great peaks or assuming sudden visibility in mid-air. With equal and effortless speed, as if convoked by an unheard command, they gathered in converging lines up the eyrie-like ruins. We, the climbers, and the whole slope about us and the valley below, were plunged in a twilight cast by the clouds.
The air was still windless, but it weighed upon us as if burdened with the wings of a thousand evil demons. We were overwhelmingly conscious of our exposed position, for we had paused on a wide landing of the mountain-hewn steps. We could have concealed ourselves amid the huge fragments on the slope; but, for the nonce, we were too exhausted to be capable of the simplest movement, The rarity of the air had left us weak and gasping. And the chill of altitude crept into us,
In a close-ranged army, the clouds mustered above and around us. They rose into the very zenith, swelling to insuperable vastness, and darkening like Tartarean gods. The sun had disappeared, leaving no faintest beam to prove that it still hung unfallen and undestroyed in the heavens.
I felt that I was crushed into the very stone by the eyeless regard of that awful assemblage, judging and condemning us. We had, I thought, trespassed upon a region conquered long ago by strange elemental entities and forbidden henceforward to man, We had approached their very citadel; and now we must meet the doom our rashness had invited. Such thoughts, like a black lightning, flared in my brain, even as my logic tried to analyse the reason for the thoughts,
Now, for the first time, I became aware of sound, if the word can be applied to a sensation so anomalous. It was as if the oppression that weighed upon me had become audible; as if palpable thunders poured over and past me. I felt and heard them in every nerve, and they roared through my brain like torrents from the opened floodgates of some tremendous weir in a world of genii.
Downwards upon us, with limbless Atlantean stridings, there swept the cloudy cohorts. Their swiftness was that of mountain-sweeping winds. The air was riven as if by the tumult of a thousand tempests, was rife with an unmeasured elemental malignity. recall but partially the events that ensued; but the impression of insufferable darkness, of demonic clamour and trampling, and the pressure of thunderous onset, remains forever indelible. Also, there were voices that called out with the stridour of clarions in a war of gods, uttering ominous syllables, that man's ear could never seize.
Before those vengeful shapes, we could not stand for an instant. We hurled ourselves madly down the shadowed steps of the giant stairs. Polder and the guide were a little ahead of me, and I saw them in that baleful twilight through sheets of sudden rain, on the verge of a deep chasm, which, in our ascent, had compelled us to much circumambulation. I saw than fall together — and yet I swear that they did not fall into the chasm: for one of the clouds was upon them, whirling over them, even as they fell. There was a fusion as of forms beheld in delirium. For an instant the two men were like vapours that swelled and swirled, towering high as the cloud that had covered them; and the cloud itself was a misty Janus, with two heads and bodies, melting into its column...
After that I remember nothing more except the sense of vertiginous falling. By some miracle I must have reached the edge of the chasm and flung myself into its depths without being overtaken as the others had been. How I escaped is forevermore an enigma. When I returned to awareness, stars were peering down like chill incurious eyes between black and jagged lips of rock. The air had turned sharp with nightfall in a mountain land. My body ached with a hundred bruises and my right forearm was limp and useless when I tried to raise myself. A dark mist of horror stifled my thoughts. Struggling to my feet with pain-racked effort, I called aloud, though I knew that none would answer me. Then, striking match after match, I searched the chasm and found myself, as I had expected, alone. Nowhere was there any trace of my companions: they had vanished utterly as clouds vanish
Somehow, by night, with a broken arm, I climbed from the steep fissure. I must have made my way down the frightful mountainside and out of that namelessly haunted and guarded land. I remember that the sky was clear, that the stars were undimmed by any semblance of cloud; and that somewhere in the valley I found one of our llamas, still laden with its stock of provisions.
Plainly I was not pursued by the clouds. Perhaps they were concerned only with the warding of that mysterious primal city from human intrusion. Some day I shall learn their true nature and entity, and the secret of those ruinous walls and crumbling keeps, and the fate of my companions. But still, through my nightly dreams and diurnal visions, the dark shapes move with the tumult and thunder of a thousand storms; my soul is crushed into the earth with the burden of fear, and they pass over me with the speed and vastness of vengeful gods; and I hear their voices calling like clarions in the sky, with ominous, world-shaking syllables that the ear can never seize.

Experience Help
Are you walking into a Storm? Often skies are gray in our life. Our moods take on a more somber affect. We move slower and hesitate to make decisions.
A pretty smart person once said "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time." Gray skies in our life are usually a result of not taking good paths, not making a good plan, and/or not following your plan. Every day just cannot and will not be great.
The same smart guy, Zig Zigler, also said "Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. Everyone has 24 hours in their day.
If things are just not right, perhaps your direction is off, perhaps your goal is not real clear in your mind, or that you permit too many excuses to interfere with attaining what is important to you.
What ever the reasons, you might find the Dave Thorpe Experience a real eye-opener. Click here for some of Dave's thoughts on the value of help in pursuing success, then fill out the questionnaire below to start the journey with Dave…

The combination of physical, mechanical and chemical properties high pure aluminum determines its wide use practically in all fields of technology, especially in the form of its alloys with other metals.
In electrical engineering, pure aluminum successfully replaces copper, especially in the production of massive conductors, such as overhead lines, high-voltage cables, transformers. The electrical conductivity of high pure aluminum reaches 65.5% of the electrical conductivity of copper and it is more than three times lighter than copper. High pure aluminum is used in the manufacture of electrical capacitors, rectifiers, which action is based on the ability of oxide film of ultra-pure aluminum to pass electrical current to pass electrical current only in one direction. Ultra pure aluminum, purified by zone melting, is used for the synthesis of semiconducting compounds of type AIIIBV, used for manufacturing semiconductor devices.
High pure aluminum is used in the production of various kinds of mirror reflectors. High pure aluminum is used as a structural material in nuclear reactors. High-purity aluminum is used to protect metal surfaces from the action of atmospheric corrosion (cladding, aluminum paint).
Alloys, based on pure aluminum, are used in rocket technology in aircraft, automotive, shipbuilding and instrument in the manufacture of cookware and many other industries. In breadth of application pure aluminum alloys occupy the second place after the steel and cast iron.
Pure aluminum is also used as an additive to many alloys. It is used to impart them heat resistance. The high thermal conductivity combined with more than satisfactory chemical stability have made aluminum a promising material for heat exchangers and other apparatus of chemical industry, domestic refrigerators, radiators cars and tractors. Small neutron capture made aluminum one of the most important metals of atomic technology.
In recent years, super purity aluminum, as well as ultra pure aluminum, is widely used mainly in electronics — from electrolytic capacitors to the top of Electronic Engineering – microprocessors; in сryoelectronics.

PC P270. The tablet is quiet thin and seems to have good hardware.
The specification of the device are as follows:
1. OS: Android 1.7 - The device comes with Android version 1.7, which is usually not good. The latest version of Android being 2.3 (codename Gingerbread).
2. CPU : VIA 8505 400Mhz - VIA Technologies is a Tiawanese Chip and Microcontroller manufacturer. In addition to this they also manufacture Mother Board Chipsets, CPUs and Memory. The CPU of 400Mhz gives the tablet PC the same power as that of my Nokia C6. Nokia C6 has got an ARM 434Mhz processor.
3. RAM : 128MB DDR2 - The RAM of the tablet seems to be low, but cant really say anything unless I have my hands on the device.
4. HDD : 2GB - The device come with 2GB of storage which is enough to store e-books, documents etc. This storage can be extended to 16GB Micro SD card. With the memory extended to 16GB, you can easily store more than 15 movies and with still some space available for some documents.
5. Screen Size : 7 inches - The size of the display screen is same as that of samsung galaxy tab. 7 inch screen is pretty much enough for watching movies and videos on a tablet PC.
6. Input : Resistive Screen - The device has a 7" Resistive touch screen. Though resistive touch is not so responsive, it is more durable than capacitive touch screen. The approximate durability of Resistive touch screen is 3 years whereas for the Capacitive touch screen it is 2 years. Almost all the devices available in the market come with resistive touch screen. In addition to this, the device also has an ability to connect mouse and key-board or even external Hard Disk.
7. Network : 3G, Wifi, Ethernet - As stated earlier, the device also enables the user to connect the wired internet connection through its Ethernet port.
The most powerful thing today is 'INFORMATION' and technology is the carrier of all this to all of us... This simply means TECHNOLOGY is the most important thing today... so here I will make post primarily about technical help, my current (own)work & of course cutting edge tech issues... So stay tuned...!
