PLDT myDSL users, anybody noticed any speed upgrade on their DSL connection the past few weeks?
During the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio last February, I was able to chat with somebody from PLDT and I asked when they will start upping the speed of current DSL plans. Turns out they are already in the process of doing that and the speed upgrades are almost complete. The reason why I'm not seeing any improvements on my end because they're upgrading those at the 384kbps connection last.
Early this year, the myDSL Plan 1995 was upgraded to 3mbps from 2mbps, and Plan 3000 was upgraded to 5mbps from 3mbps. Then last month, it Plan 999 subscribers should have noticed speed upgrades from 1mbps to 1.5mbps.
"œThis set of free DSL speed upgrades is a result of PLDT's continuous investment in the company's superior connectivity backbone. We are committed to making our subscribers' experience more fulfilling and rewarding," said PLDT Group Head for Home Ariel Fermin.
Only thing left to upgrade are those subscribed to Bundled Plan 990 (384kbps) and Bundled Plan 1299 (768kbps). I hope PLDT will accomplish the speed boost for these plans this month.
"œResidential subscribers are now heavy users of internet with all the new content they can access online. These series of speed upgrades will allow our customers the speed they now require but at the same price," said PLDT Home Marketing Head Dan C. Ibarra.
Thanks PLDT!

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Been everywhere, done everything? Bored with the same old bar bands and disappointing big-name music-biz headliners? DJ nites all beginning to sound the same? Feel like taking a break from the pai gow tables? Make it to Casino San Pablo Saturday evening for the Cambodian Dance Concert. It's cheaper -- and safer -- than traveling to Phnom Penh, but compared to the offerings in most East Bay entertainment spots, this show is completely off the map.
According to promoter Joran Ling, Saturday night's performance by the Sek Meas Band and various "all-stars" -- as opposed to some of the other acts he puts into the casino's showrooms -- is more traditionally Cambodian. "It's hard to describe to Americans," admits Ling from his office in Long Beach. "The style is a mixture of bolero, jazz, cha-cha, and a traditional music called romvong, where the dancers twirl round and round. You have to see it, then you'll understand." Everybody dances, and such things as hand movements can make all the difference. "Our way of dancing is not like the American way," says Ling.
Most of the performers are recent immigrants, and they typically play for a crowd that's ninety percent Cambodian -- the rest are mainly Thai. Ling draws his talent from California's huge Southeast Asian communities ("If I want to promote something big, I use musicians from Long Beach," he says), which is why Saturday night's featured singers include names that might be better known in Trat or Siem Reap than in El Cerrito: the popular Thai duo of Jeff & Sarah are the headliners, along with a boy-girl pair of singers from Cambodia called Sokhon and Sodanny. In March, Ling is bringing a Cambodian-style "American oldies" band to the casino, but Sek Meas and the All-Stars are the real thing.
The Sek Meas band and Cambodian All-Stars play at 8 p.m. Saturday, February 16, in the Oasis Showroom at Casino San Pablo, 13255 San Pablo Ave. in San Pablo. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. For more info: 510-215-7888, ext. 4.

The man behind the towering makeshift ticket booth snatched the dollar bill from my hand and nodded toward the somber circus tent pitched behind him. I had paid for the right to see what anyone with a spare buck would feel compelled to see, especially those who possessed an easily strong-armed, obligingly browbeaten sense of curiosity, like mine.
I made my way through the tent's dark portal, my heart racing, my head bathed in a pool of anticipation and iced in a gooey layer of dread. There it was, I supposed, inside the floodlit, coffin-shaped box: The World's Largest Rat? I approached carefully, certain anything so gargantuan, so rodent, might easily swallow me whole.
Once I'd screwed up the nerve, I peeked inside the rat's cage, or stage, or home – I wasn't sure which, and I really didn't want to know – and peered at it. I agreed. World's largest? Quite possibly. If not, maybe ginormous? I trotted from the tent, satisfied that it had been a dollar well spent and smug with the knowledge that I had seen something very few people would ever see, or would ever dare to see.
Sometimes I look back on that day, seemingly long ago, but in actuality just last summer at the county pita chip show and festival, and I long for more such encounters. Classic sideshows barely exist anymore, eradicated alongside such derogatory, politically incorrect designations as freak and weirdo. I understand. It really isn't proper to stare at the unusually dimensioned, or the multi-headed. And to pay for a glimpse? Yikes. That would surely erase about a million karma points from my already modest stash.
So, what can be done to resurrect this beautifully disgraceful branch of the entertainment industry? We all crave to look at things so unusual and so extraordinary that they only exist when a carnival banner informs us of such. Someone needs to start collecting and exhibiting to the public (for no more than a dollar a peek, please?) the things we would otherwise never encounter. I thought about doing this myself, but I wouldn't know where or how to assemble my inventory of freaks.
I did however come up with a list that I'm certain would draw crowds of intrigued people, the kind of folks with an expendable dollar in their pocket and already bankrupt karma account. Imagine walking into the stale darkness of a sideshow tent, a singular bright bulb illuminating the peculiarity on stage, or in the box. Things like a car with a working blinker, a person wiping down a piece of gym equipment they've just sweated up, a pile of money actually won in Las Vegas, a week old banana that's still yellow, an umpire who doesn't move the strike zone with whimsy, an airline service representative responding to a complaint letter, a telemarketer checking the Do Not Call list, a bird that poops only on abandoned cars, a small child sitting quietly in an airline seat, a sword swallowing wife, and a one-faced politician.
Wouldn't you shell out a buck to see these anomalies? I would, if only they existed. My heart's racing just thinking about it – my conjoined, lobster-boy heart.

Simmons ready to prove why he was the No.1 choice
BASKETBALL: Australian star Ben Simmons is determined to be noticed as he begins his NBA career a year later than expected.
The 21-year-old missed the whole of the last campaign with a broken foot after being picked No.1 in the draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
He said he was ready to take last season by storm but says he will soon make sure to get back on the fans' radar for this coming season.
"They'll remember," Simmons said at the 76ers' media day.
"I came to the States when I was 15.
"Nobody knew who I was. So I feel like I'm back at that stage and I've got to prove myself again, which is fine.
"I'm looking forward to that part."
Simmons, from Melbourne, said he's been dominating five-on-five at practice after using the year off to steel himself mentally and physically.
"It feels normal to me. There's not really many people who can guard me off the dribble the full length of the court," he said.
"There's potential to be a great leader, and I believe that.
"I believe I can lead this team, even if I'm one of the youngest guys on the team.
"Compared to last year, I'm a much better player. It's not even close."
Simmons has declared himself 100% fit ahead of Wednesday morning's (AEST) start to training camp, where he broke his foot last year.

Detroit Marriott Enters Last Chapter of Year-Long, $30 Million Renovation Process
- By
- May 28, 2014
The $30 million renovation project that kicked off earlier this year at the 1,329-room Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center is moving forward with a complex makeover of the hotel's meeting space. This is the last phase of the year-long remodeling process and will encompass 100,000 square feet of space spanning three floors and 34 separate meeting rooms.
"We're very excited to begin this next big step of a $30 million renovation that is an investment in the City of Detroit, as well as an investment in this Michigan landmark hotel," said Shonda Johnson, area general manager of the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. "Our modernized, beautiful and more flexible meeting space will help draw more visitors and milestone events to our amazing city," she added.
Estimated to be completed in December, this chapter in Marriott RenCen's renovation will also be done in phases, enabling group functions to continue without disruption, and will focus on enhancing the conference spaces' functionality and aesthetics, the hotel's officials announced. Also included in this phase is the two-level concierge lounge located on the 56th and 57th floors which will be refurbished and reconfigured to resemble an automobile showroom.
Nicknamed Marriott RenCen, the 71-story hotel in Downtown Detroit is the tallest building in the city and the tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The landmark hotel was completed in 1977 and stands as the central tower in a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers known as The Renaissance Center. The Class A office complex was built for the Henry Ford Motor Company by New York-based Tishman Construction under plans designed by John Portman & Associates.
In 1996 the 5.5 million-square-foot mega-property was purchased by General Motors to serve as the company's global headquarters. The 14-acre, Class A office center is one of the largest commercial complexes in the world. A veritable "city within a city," it includes a shopping center, restaurants, banks, private clubs and a movie theater and even has its own zip code, 48243—housing more than 5,000 GM workers and 4,000 center tenant employees.

- Bitcoin, the red-hot digital currency known for its volatile price swings, was on a wild ride this weekend.
- Bitcoin crashed more than 25% from its all-time high of $US7,721 set Wednesday to a low of $US5,617 per coin on Sunday, according to data from cryptocurrency watcher CoinDesk.
- Bitcoin cash, on the other hand, propelled to a record-high of $US2,500 early Sunday morning.
- Trading volumes on Sunday peaked at over $US26 billion, according to cryptocurrency data site CoinMarketCap.com.
- That's higher than the 5-day average trading volume for some US equity exchanges.
Bitcoin, the red-hot digital currency, had a wild weekend and that appears to have translated into record-breaking trading volumes across the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin crashed more than 25% from Wednesday's all-time high to a low of $US5,617 Sunday. Bitcoin cash, the rival clone of bitcoin, witnessed an impressive rally that propelled the coin to a record-high of $US2,500 early Sunday morning.
The 24-hour trading volumes for cryptocurrencies reached a record above $US26 billion on Sunday, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com, the highest ever.
To put that in perspective, that is higher than the 5-day average trading volumes for two major US stock exchanges. Both IEX, the upstart exchange based in New York, and the Chicago Stock Exchange averaged less than $US10 billion in trading each day for the last five days, according to data by Cboe Global Markets.
IEX saw $US7.8 billion worth of shares exchange on its venue, whereas CHX facilitated $US3.1 billion in stock volumes.
New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, on the other hand, saw more than $US50 billion worth of shares exchange daily on average over the last 5 trading days.
Still, the record cryptocurrency volumes over the weekend indicate the growing interest in the red-hot market, which until very recently has rarely witnessed daily trading volumes over $US10 billion.
In a recent note to clients, Bank of America Merril Lynch said higher cryptocurrency volumes could present a $US1.6 billion opportunity for Wall Street.
The figure is based on the assumption that cryptocurrency volumes end up at about 10% of current fiat currency trading volumes. Here's the bank:
"The FX market is highly liquid. For example, spot FX volumes were $US1.65tr as of the most recent BIT Triennial survey in April 2016. If these volumes were to materialise, with the same relationship between spot market and futures, and the same revenue per contract, the revenue pool would be about $US1.6bn."
Already, exchange giants Cboe and CME are looking to capitalise on the nascent space by preparing to launch bitcoin futures products in the near term.
Higher volumes, according to Bank of America, could help legitimise cryptocurrencies across Wall Street, which still remains widely sceptical of their credibility.
Many top Wall Streeters have derided bitcoin, for instance, as a vehicle used mainly by criminals.
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Larry Fink, the head of the largest investor in the world, BlackRock said the explosive growth of bitcoin points to "how much money laundering is being done in the world."
And JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon once said bitcoin was only useful for murderers and drug dealers.

Xponential 2016: TEI outlines PD170 development
Huw Williams, New Orleans - IHS Jane's International Defence Review
06 May 2016
Tusas Engine Industries (TEI) is on course to commence flight testing of its new PD170 engine in 2019, IHS Jane's has learned.
Speaking at AUVSI's Xponential 2016 exhibition and conference, Ahmet Dincer, TEI's programme leader for research and development, said that rig-based testing will commence in the fourth quarter of this year, followed by ground testing in 2017. A serial production engine will be ready in 2018.
The PD170 is planned to be the future unit for Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI's) Anka unmanned aircraft system (UAS) - the Turkish military's medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS.
The powerplant that currently equips Anka, which can be described as an evolved Thielert Centurion engine, is a 155 hp 2.0S four-cylinder, four-stroke, turbo-diesel engine.
In its original guise the Centurion engine was beset by problems; units that equipped the US Army's Gray Eagle UAS experienced issues with the clutch in particular, and platform losses have been put down to the engine, it is also considered to be somewhat underpowered.
As such the US Army has moved to re-engine its platforms and TAI has received modified Centurion units and purchased the technical data package from the manufacturer, which has since been taken over following bankruptcy and the new enterprise shifted the focus of its activities away from UAS.
Dincer said that much effort has been placed on assuring that the PD170 does not experience the same issues as the Centurion engine, with a focus on the introduction of a robust clutch.
The key benefit brought by the PD170 over the Centurion is its critical altitude performance, with the engine able to develop and maintain 120 hp at up to 30,000 ft and 170 hp at up to 20,000 ft.
This has been made possible largely through the use of a twin turbocharger, Dincer explained. He also noted that there is growth potential in the PD170, with a projected 210 hp possible with only minor modifications.
It looks like the US Predator Drone now has an alternative engine after the Chinese purchased Centurion.

Economics assumes that all human decision-making is rational. In an economist's dreamland, we're able to balance both the cost and the reward of a purchase to make the appropriate economic choice. Modern economists, particularly those studying behavioral economics, have shown that we don't always make rational choices. We make choices based on subjective evaluation instead of on objective, predetermined criteria.
Dan Ariely, head of Duke University's Center for Advanced Hindsight and author of the book Predictably Irrational, says that people do a good job of visualization when looking at the physical world. In the physical world, we build smarter to get around our limitations. Alternatively, we struggle to visualize abstract concepts, and marketers have developed strategies to leverage those mental limitations.
Ariely uses the example of an ad that "The Economist" once used to draw in new subscribers. Subscribers could choose the digital edition for $59, the print version only for $125 or both digital and print for $125. When they used quick, subjective evaluation, choosing both digital and print for the same price as the print edition seemed like a bargain. In fact, in a survey involving a group of MIT students, most respondents selected the digital/print subscription instead of choosing the budget-friendly electronic version.
Since unconscious factors do so much to sway individual decisions, crowdsourcing decision making has obvious benefits. A crowd may make fewer subjective errors. Also, tapping the crowd enables smarter, faster selections within a fast-paced business environment. Management may not possess the tacit knowledge necessary to make decisions outside of their areas of expertise. For example, a great CFO may have no feel for engineering. In some cases, he or she needs to tap the collective intelligence of the firm's engineers to make better financial decisions related to engineering.
Crowdsourcing decision making enables faster action by taking advantage of employees' tacit knowledge. For both managers and the crowd, an easy-to-use crowd input collection and visualization tool makes choices easier to process. Soliciting collective intelligence requires managers to trust their employees, which isn't always easy. However, considering how easily individual judgment is influenced, perhaps we're wise not to act on our own.

Billboards featuring controversial statements such as "Career women make bad mothers" and the anti-World Cup "1966 - It won't happen this year", feature in a national campaign designed to prove there is more to getting a message across than advertising on Google.
The campaign, which has echoes of the look of the atheist bus campaign's "There's probably no God" ads, is designed to draw attention to the power of outdoor advertising in the UK.
The £1.25m ad campaign will run on more than 11,000 billboard and poster sites nationwide and is backed by the biggest media owners in the sector including JCDecaux, CBS, Clear Channel, Titan and Primesight.
The campaign, commissioned by the Outdoor Advertising Association, will also use a third advertising statement "Educashun isn't working" which appears to be a new take on the famous "Labour isn't working" ad line used by the Conservative's ahead of the 1979 election.
Each of the ads asks viewers whether they agree and pushes them to join the discussion on a website, Britainthinks.com.
"It is too simplistic a view for significant campaigns to rely solely on digital media," said Alan James, the chief executive of the OAA. "Research by Google recently showed that offline activity is essential in driving people online. We are aiming to demonstrate that in addition to building strong brand awareness outdoor media plays a vital part in delivering immediate response and driving people online."
The ad campaign, which breaks today for an initial two-week period, will appear on 11,500 sites including billboards, posters, bus sides, retail outlets, taxis and even via washroom media.
The campaign has been developed by Beta, the agency founded in May by advertising veterans Garry Lace and Robert Campbell.
"Vocalising opinion has always been a great British pastime," said Lace. "We want to give people another forum for voicing their innermost grievances and create a brand which truly democratises debate."

Arts Education
Arts Education
The Arts Education curriculum strives to encourage students' artful habits of mind through engaged arts learning. The curriculum includes a general arts program, as well as four core discipline-specific programs – dance, drama, music, and visual arts – that capture the language, activities, and experiences unique to each of those disciplines.
Features of the Arts Education curriculum
The Arts Education curriculum promotes the arts as a means of self-expression and understanding of identity, and as a place to connect with artists, art processes, artwork, and arts learning in students' own community.
The natural progression for creative and artistic work is central to the Arts Education curriculum, which includes:
- a focus on creative and artistic processes, including responding to creative work
- a focus on increasing the depth of content and concept application over multiple years
- content relating to the elements and principles of each discipline
- value placed on discipline-specific language
- connections between theory and practice
- opportunities for making connections with the local community
- support for classroom and personal safety
- connections between grades to support multi-year program models
- celebration of students' unique ideas and creative potential
Throughout the Arts Education curriculum, "artist" is used as an inclusive term to refer to people who create works in any of the arts disciplines (e.g., dancers, actors, musicians, visual artists). This usage views students as artists, too. Similarly, "artistic works" is used to refer to the results of creative processes in any of the four disciplines.
Canada's unique cultural heritage is a rich and varied tapestry of experiences and perspectives, from those of First Peoples to those of people newly arrived here. This diversity is part of the historical and contemporary foundation of our country. The Arts Education curriculum offers opportunities for students to explore, understand, respect, and appreciate their own and others' cultural heritage through artistic works.
Flexible teaching and learning
The language and design of the curriculum give teachers the flexibility to teach in any one of four core disciplines. Through the curriculum's unified design, teachers have the option of creating learning experiences that combine two or more disciplines. The curriculum's flexibility also accommodates both the range of program structures and school contexts across the province and the range of student interest in pursuing arts learning in breadth or in depth.
A unified curriculum
The unified K-8 curriculum gives teachers the option of taking integrated instructional approaches, without having to follow a discipline-specific or interdisciplinary preference or priority. In Grade 9, both a unified and a discipline-specific curriculum are provided, offering flexibility and choice for students with emerging and specific interests. The unified curriculum employs language shared by the disciplines rather than melding the disciplines into one; however, each discipline retains its distinguishable qualities and unique learning contexts.
Options for in-depth study
Building on the K-9 curriculum, discipline-specific curricula in Grades 10, 11, and 12 support students who are committed to a greater depth of study in one or more of the four core disciplines. These curricula transition students to lifelong engagement with the arts, whether as a career choice, as a source of knowledge to incorporate into another field of work, or simply for enjoyment in daily life.
Lifelong learning
The curriculum supports the notion that all students, in becoming educated citizens, can develop an artistic mindset in all aspects of their daily life, both during and beyond their school years. The curriculum connects skills, processes, and knowledge cultivated in students' arts learning experiences with opportunities for application.
First Peoples Principles of Learning
Incorporating First Peoples ways of knowing and the First Peoples Principles of Learning, the curriculum promotes informed and respectful engagement with First Peoples arts, artists, and worldviews.
Creative and collaborative learning
While traditional collaborative performance learning environments (e.g., concert choir, orchestra, theatre, dance company) continue to be supported, the curriculum also allows for innovative and dynamic changes to program offerings as students' interests change. Connections between grades respect the process-based nature of exploration, inquiry, and creation in the arts while transitioning students from experiences in purposeful play to experiences in improvisation and innovation. The curriculum reflects the notion that there are many processes and pathways through which creative potential is realized.
Design of the Arts Education curriculum
As in all areas of learning, the key concepts and competencies of the Arts Education curriculum are organized around the Know-Do-Understand model of learning. These are captured in Content (Know), Curricular Competencies (Do), and Big Ideas (Understand). More information on the curriculum model is available at www.curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/overview.
Each discipline's key concepts, elements, processes, and strategies are included in the Content learning standards in a carefully thought-out progression of what students are expected to know. This progression ensures that students become aware of each element's presence, use, and capacity over multiple years of study, with growing sophistication and increased depth.
Curricular Competencies
Curricular Competencies describe what students should be able to do with the knowledge they have gained. In every grade, each topic in the Content learning standards can potentially be applied through multiple Curricular Competencies. The Arts Education curriculum at all grade levels supports a progression of study that engages students in discovering their artistic and creative potential through activities in dance, drama, music, and visual art. These learning standards, underpinned by the Arts Education goals and rationale, contribute to the development of the educated citizen.
The Curricular Competencies, which are directly linked to the Core Competencies, are structured around artistic habits of mind and engage students to:
- explore with artistic curiosity
- create with artistic intellect
- reason through considerations and possibilities
- reflect on choices and imagining opportunities
- communicate ideas and perspectives
- document artistic growth and understandings
- connect with themselves, artists, artworks, and the world
- expand artistic capacity through perseverance
Big Ideas
The Big Ideas are the general statements and principles that shape both teaching and learning. They represent what students are expected to understand and take away from the curriculum – the deeper learning. Each Big Idea in the Arts Education curriculum can be explored through learning in any one or more of the four core disciplines: dance, drama, music, and visual art. The Big Ideas are intended to nurture in students an increasingly sophisticated ability to make connections among the artistic habits of mind.
The examples of Big Ideas below illustrate how the curriculum grows with students and expands the scope and depth of learning.
Grade 3
Grade 6
Grade 8
Grade 10
Big Ideas
People connect to others and share ideas through the arts.
The arts connect our experiences to the experiences of others.
Experiencing art is a means to develop empathy for others' perspectives and experiences.
Artists often challenge the status quo and open us to new perspectives and experiences.
Growth as an artist requires time, patience, and reflection.
Elaborations have been provided for many of the Content and Curricular Competencies learning standards in the Arts Education curriculum. The elaborations have been provided in many places throughout the curriculum and offer definitions, clarifications, examples, and further information about the topics or competencies at a given grade. They have been included to provide teachers with additional clarity and support and may be particularly useful to teachers who are new to teaching Arts Education.
Creative processes
Ideas feed creative processes throughout everyday life. An idea might spark a new project or enhance a project midway through its development. Students experience this in all areas of learning, even though creativity is most often closely associated with learning in the arts.
The Arts Education curriculum reimagines the creative process away from a single, sequential process and toward the notion of multiple processes composed of phases of learning and development that generate quality thinking and creative thinkers in any area of learning. The four phases of the creative process are described below. While they may not always exist in the order shown here, aspects of each phase will always be part of the whole process.
The Creative Thinking Core Competency comes alive through this model, which transcends discipline-specific language, cultivating active learning, metacognition, and transferable skills. The model poses questions that prompt inquiry in the creation of any type of project or demonstration of learning (e.g., essay, presentation, performance, artwork). These questions will challenge students to engage in research and observation activities that build self-awareness and self-efficacy through independent and/or collaborative learning. Suggested questions are contained in an instructional support document entitled "Connecting, Creating, Presenting, and Responding in Arts Education" which is available at: www.curriculum.gov.bc.ca/sites/curriculum.gov.bc.ca/files/pdf/en_ae_support_CCPR.pdf
Explore and focus
Getting ready to be creative means getting ready to think, learn, and share ideas. Students learn about their own thinking and abilities while they explore their potential and develop a vision for creative success.
Select and combine
Prior knowledge is an important asset when matching skills, elements, and techniques with a focused project. Many choices will be made during the development of a project, and each will be based on the impact of the skills, elements, and techniques employed on their own or in combination. Inquiry prompts will guide some decision making and develop mid-point assessment skills.
Refine and reflect
A project needs time and the opportunity to be assessed to reveal how it connects with its intention. As part of that assessment, it is important to review previous choices and understand how those choices affect the project. Sometimes this will mean reconsidering decisions, asking for the opinions of others, or repeating a task. Responding to these considerations facilitates confident, polished work.
Reflect and connect
Bringing a creative project to completion is exciting, but the learning does not stop there. Every creative project, exercise, or experience builds knowledge, improves confidence in decision making, and refines an individual's approach to creative processes. Reflecting on an experience might spark ideas for a new endeavour that continues to generate new learning. Linking prior learning helps us imagine what else can be achieved.
Important considerations
Safety considerations
To ensure a safe learning environment, teachers should ask themselves the following questions before, during, and after an activity has taken place:
- Are students aware of established rules and procedures for safety (e.g., hearing conservation, health procedures when sharing instruments or costumes, warm-up and cool-down activities, vocal health and safety, safe use of materials and technologies)?
- Have the instructions been sequenced progressively to ensure safety?
- Do students fully understand the instructions?
- Is the activity suitable to each student's interest, confidence, and ability?
- Are students being properly supervised?
- Are the facilities, equipment, and technologies suitable and in good repair?
Teachers are also encouraged to use professional safety reference guides, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, and similar orientation resources to support the safe use of materials and equipment in the learning environment. For examples of safety reference materials, see www.actsafe.ca.
In addition to ensuring physical safety, teachers should consider the emotional safety of students when planning instruction in dance, drama, music, and visual arts. This includes, but is not limited to, being sensitive to individual students; being prepared to respond to unique situations; and employing creative strategies to deal with rivalry, stress, fear of failure, stage fright, and so on. As well, teachers should be mindful of activities that may cause emotional or psychological stress for individual students (e.g., blindfolding, working in closed environments, solo performance, body contact, heterogeneous groupings) and be prepared to offer alternative strategies as necessary.
Working with the First Peoples communities
To address First Peoples content and perspectives in the classroom in a way that is accurate and that respectfully reflects First Peoples concepts of teaching and learning, teachers are strongly encouraged to seek the advice and support of members of local First Peoples communities. As First Peoples communities are diverse in terms of language, culture, and available resources, each community will have its own unique protocol to gain support for integration of local knowledge and expertise. Permission for the use or translation of cultural materials or practices should be obtained through consultation with individuals, families, and other community members. This authorization should be obtained prior to the use of any educational plans or materials.
To begin discussion about possible instructional and assessment activities, teachers should first contact First Peoples education coordinators, teachers, support workers, and counsellors in their district who will be able to facilitate the identification of local resources and contacts, such as Elders, chiefs, First Nations tribal or band councils, First Peoples cultural centres, First Peoples Friendship Centres, and Métis or Inuit organizations.
In addition, teachers may wish to consult the various Ministry of Education publications available, including the "Planning Your Program" section of the resource Shared Learnings. This resource was developed to help all teachers provide students with knowledge of, and opportunities to share experiences with, First Peoples in B.C. For more information about these documents, consult the Aboriginal Education website: www.bced.gov.bc.ca/abed/welcome.htm.
Working with the arts community
The broad nature of the arts as envisioned by the Arts Education curriculum requires that students learn through experience with a variety of art forms. All aspects of learning in Arts Education can be enriched when arts practitioners from the community are involved. Teachers are encouraged to provide these experiences for their students when possible and appropriate. When teaching students about culture-specific art forms and contexts, engaging with experts from the community is particularly important in order to avoid offence or appropriation or misrepresentation of culture. Cultural appropriation includes the use of cultural motifs, themes, "voices," images, knowledge, stories, songs, or drama without permission or appropriate context, or in a way that may misrepresent the real experience of the people from whose culture the form is drawn. Community artists can also act as mentors, providing feedback and perspective for students' work.
When working with guest arts practitioners/instructors, teachers might consider using the following approach:
- Familiarize yourself with your school and board/authority policies for involving guest practitioners/instructors in the classroom (e.g., reference checks).
Meet with the guest arts practitioner/instructor ahead of time to:
- discuss appropriate learning expectations
- decide which areas of the curriculum are to be addressed by his or her involvement with the students
- plan for the use of age-appropriate material
- determine his or her needs during contact time with the students (e.g., space, technology, equipment, materials)
- Prepare students for the experience (e.g., discuss the expectations for process and etiquette, provide relevant background information).
- Debrief with students and guests after the sessions or presentations.
The Arts Education curriculum can also be enriched when students have opportunities to work as arts practitioners themselves, creating dance, drama, music, and visual art with or for use by peers, younger students, and the community at large. When students do this and work as choreographers, dramaturges, conductors, or visual arts teachers, encourage them to consider the following questions:
- What are participants able to reasonably accomplish at this grade level (i.e., in terms of their experience and their physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development)?
- What safety factors must be kept in mind?
- Which warm-up and cool-down activities need to be incorporated?
- Is the work appropriate for a school setting?
- What is the best way to work through and sequence the various parts of the work?
- What are the criteria for success?
Many community and web resources can be used for broadening the range of learning opportunities in the Arts Education curriculum. Key among these are:
- professional studios, performance groups, galleries, and associations
- high school, college, and university arts departments
- school and public libraries
- arts teachers' associations
- community, provincial, and national arts councils
- arts-regulating and policy-making authorities
- First Peoples artists and performance groups
- cultural associations, artists, and performance groups
- continuing education programs
- community and recreation centres
- arts periodicals and publications
- local radio and television stations (for access to audio-visual equipment)
- arts broadcasting
- arts and cultural festivals
- advocacy organizations

happy mothers day. in whatever shape it takes today.
in however you end up honoring motherhood, mothers, and being a mom.
my dear friend, who is so close to becoming a mom – sent this to me.
Before I was a Mom I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on.
Pooped on. Spit on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts…..
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
much love today for the two little boys i get to mother.
