This unique force-on-force scenario drill inspired him to design HIGH GEAR.
This new gear revolutionized scenario training.
The helmet design allowed role-players to speak clearly.
The streamline, ergonomic design allowed role-players to move naturally - just like in real-life.
Only in High Gear could training partners behave like real adversaries in a real confrontation.
The High gear suit allowed combat athletes to move fluidly so their art or style could be tested while wearing gear.
We built it around the role-player's movement requirements. We wanted the bad-guy to be able to replicate an actual attack in real environments.
HIGH GEAR helps people understand the chaos of close quarter combatives and force-on-force training.
This helps them stress-inoculate much faster than conventional training.
High Gear training provides a 'hack', a fast-track to developing more competence, confidence and a deep understanding of what works and what doesn't in a real confrontation.
It helps both role-players understand violence in a more visceral way.
This helps them learn to manage fear and stay focused on tactics that worked under pressure.
I'm Convinced Take Me To The Store!
If your scenario gear is too bulky, it eliminates the 'fear' of impact. You need this to really develop the proper mind-set. If your gear is too thick, it offers too much protection and you know that the gear will protect you. Again, this changes how you think and move. My thought process is that to learn to protect yourself you must respect the danger. You will not be wearing a padded suit in a real confrontation! With this in mind I spent 5-years (yes 5!) designing this suit. I tested various foams and plastics until I found the right styles, thickness and configuration so that the gear transferred impact but also dispersed it. The result was a suit that let you know when you screwed up!
What differentiates us from other padded assailant suits is our philosophy of design that inspired an OPFOR/role-player suit that DOES NOT inhibit or restrict the movement of the role-player, trainer or the student who must practice skills often dictated by ROE's, plans or a use of force continuum.
High Gear is the grappling mat you wear!
on a concrete floor would you?
Now you can practice in any environment.
This compilation shows actual training over the years from personal defense to force-on-force CQB/SWAT scenarios.
It's important to note how natural and realistic the movement is. This is a critical aspect of our role-player training taught to graduates of our Ballistic Micro-Fight System.
Click the image it should load your email program. If not, contact us directly by clicking here.
Coach Blauer developed a system called "The Ballistic Micro-Fight" (BMF) is an evidence-based scenario training protocol that reverse engineers confrontations so that the practitioner develops a deeper understanding of how the human body moves during sudden aggression.
The formula for this method has been integrated into the highest levels of the military and law enforcement communities. If you would like to host a scenario course or get certified to run scenario-based training using the Blauer system keep reading.
A BMF session will work on internal and external awareness, stamina and endurance specific to self-defense and combatives.
it will also develop the moral, ethical and legal aspects of confrontation management.
Any combat athlete can improve their striking, and protect their partners.
World-renowned MMA star, Frank Mir working on isolation drills with Coach Blauer before his fight with Nogueria.
Even though High Gear was originally designed for scenario-based training for police, military and self-defense, it has found its way into MMA and has been used by many of the world's top trainers.
Below is a video from the vault (circa 1995). You've got to watch it!
It's got amazing footage of military training, defensive tactics, kids anti-abduction training, all showing real movement, live-action and real contact.
Check it out, it'll really show you how versatile High Gear really is.
ok, how fast can I get my gear?
We offer train-the-trainer certifications in our scientific approach to scenario training.
Now any trainer/coach/instructor from any style or method can learn to reverse engineer confrontations and intelligently practice, test, experiment their movement, strategies and tactics with greater safety.
If you would like to speak to one of our team to discuss how you can host a seminar or get certified, fill out this form.
If you have questions about High Gear, please include them in your message.
We offer two types of gear, the ORIGINAL suit for DT, combatives, and hand-to-hand training and the Marking Cartridge for force-on-force with UTM and other marking cartridge projectiles.

I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Remember that just because you hit bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there.
I think it's miraculous that anybody survives themselves.
Listen, smile, agree, then do whatever you were going to do anyway.
The higher the stakes, the happier I am, the better I will be.
At the end of the day, anything I think I'm sacrificing I'm just giving up because it makes me feel better.
Discipline for me is about respect. It's not even about self-respect; it's about respect for life and all it offers.
I don't need an Iron Man suit. I'm already a weapon of mass seduction.
I think you end up doing the stuff you were supposed to do at the time you were supposed to do it.


A police officer who was on DWI patrol was hit by an alleged drunk driver early Monday and suffered life-threatening injuries, police said.
Officer Willard Gomes, a 12-year veteran of the Nassau County (NY) Police Department, suffered serious head injuries, including swelling of the brain, reports WNBC.
Gomes was in an unmarked car when it was hit head-on by a pickup truck that allegedly crossed over a double yellow line on Glen Cove Road in Roslyn around 2:30 a.m.
Gomes was taken to the hospital, where he was in serious but stable condition. He also broke vertebrae in his neck, broke an arm and a leg, cracked a rib and lost several teeth, among other injuries, officials said.
Prosecutors say the driver of the pickup truck, Keith Dillon, 29, had a blood alcohol level more than two times the legal limit, reports News 12 Long Island.
During his hospital bedside arraignment at Nassau University Medical Center, prosecutors said Keith Dillon told police at the scene that he had been at a number of establishments drinking alcohol before the crash. Officials say he also admitted to taking medicinal marijuana at some point in the night. In his truck, prosecutors say there were two bags of Xanax and what appeared to be cocaine residue.
Dillon pleaded not guilty to charges of vehicular assault, reckless assault, DWI and criminal possession of a controlled substance. His bond was set at $100,000.

Ulster Academics Reappointed to Arts Council Board
Two leading University of Ulster academics have been reappointed to serve a further four-year term on the Board of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
Culture Minister, Carál Ní Cuilin, today announced that Professor Ian Montgomery, Dean of the faculty of Art Design and the Built Environment and Professor of Photography, Paul Seawright, would remain on the Board until the end of November 2015.
Professor Seawright said the appointments recognise the important role the University plays in developing and supporting both the cultural life and creative economy of Northern Ireland.
"They acknowledge how our specialised knowledge, our research in art and design and my work as an artist have an impact on arts and cultural strategy," he added.
"The Arts in Northern Ireland have historically been underfunded in comparison to Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland and this presents unique challenges to the board of the Arts Council.
"I believe it's important for practicing artists like myself to be involved in making the difficult decisions that will continue to prioritise high quality artistic endeavour, delivering it to the widest range of people possible."
Professor Montgomery explained that the University had invested heavily in expanding and updating its facilities and programmes on the Belfast campus, in particular, while also developing new arts and media programmes on the Coleraine and Magee campuses.
"Our students, graduates and indeed the wider communities in Northern Ireland, enjoy the benefits of significant ongoing investment in the arts and this is vitally important in sustaining and further developing the wealth of creative talent across the country," he said.
"We both look forward to serving as Board members over the next four years."
Professor Montgomery is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Architecture and Manufactures and a member of both the International Society of Typographic Designers and the Design Research Society.
Professor Seawright was formerly Dean of Arts and Media at the University of Wales, Newport. A practising photographer, he has exhibited extensively and represented Wales at the 2003 Venice Biennale of Art.


Monday I finished the last 3/4 of The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton and started UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn and finished that very early Tuesday morning. Tuesday night (I'm very much a night reader) I started Ethereal by Addison Moore and finished very early Wednesday morning and went right into Boyfriend From Hell by E. Van Lowe for a while before getting some sleep, finishing later in the early evening. Finally I read Turned by Morgan Rice finishing around 10:30 PM.


Yeah, you're probably sleeping on the couch lately because you damaged your significant other's living room table with your tweezers, kanthal leads and general mess while rebuilding.
Let's change that. You're welcome.

Thank you for considering me as a possible guide in music. As a Mesa native, I've been fortunate to grow up with a teaching artist family in a wonderfully supportive arts community. I believe my profession as a teaching artist is one of the most important roles I play. To help people realize they might be capable of more than they realize is one the most important things I can do.
I started my study of woodwinds with the late, great Grant Wolf at age 8. Then, I was fortunate to study with Hugh Lovelady, lead Saxophone for Caesar's Palace through the 70's and 80's, as well as Steve Hanusofski of the Phoenix Symphony. College took me to Oberlin Conservatory, the oldest school of music in the USA, where I studied with knower of all things clarinet, Richard Hawkins. My post graduate work was done at Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, MA with world famous principal clarinet of the Simone Bolivar Symphony,and founding member of the Caracas Clarinet Quartet; Jorge Montilla Moreno.
I've been performing professionally since age 16. without going too detailed; the past few years have been spent performing in pit orchestras for theater productions around the valley and occasionally performing with the Phoenix Symphony. I've also been fortunate to share my passion for music; teaching clarinet at Mesa Community College. When not teaching or performing, I'm often found helping players with instruments and accessories at Milano Music Center.
Wherever you are on your musical journey, I hope I can be of aid. Whether taking your first steps in music, or preparing college auditions; I'm a careful guide. Perhaps you're the seasoned saxophone player looking to improve your clarinet tone, or you've just always wanted to learn oboe; I'd be honored to be part of your journey.

Inspired by the sweeping marshlands of Northeast India—where broadleaf forests meet elephant grasses, rolling rivers and dense pockets of jungle—Assam Rhino Reserve evokes the timelessness of nature's grandeur. Yet look closer. The new exhibit, opening this May at Woodland Park Zoo, confronts one of the most enduring battles of species conservation: wildlife trafficking. The same wildness we revere in Earth's breathtaking landscapes, we put at risk for trinkets, knickknacks, placebo medicines, and trophies.
Rhinos have become one of the most iconic symbols of wildlife trafficking. But trafficking is not an issue isolated to the wildlife of Asia and Africa. The Assam Rhino Reserve will help shed light on a very local problem—trafficked animals that are smuggled through our own sea and airports, and local species that are also being illegally killed for their parts.
The most inspiring experience of all will be your chance to get up close to greater one-horned rhinos for the first time in Woodland Park Zoo's 119-year history. We will become home to two young rhinos with distinct personalities, and our design team has the animals in mind at each turn. The exhibit will feature a soaking pond and goopy mud wallows (the species is the most aquatic of its kind), opportunities for browsing and grazing, logs to play with, as well as both indoor and outdoor spaces for the two to spend their time as they choose. You will be able to get close to these animals and their care givers during feedings and bath time to see what it takes to provide them the best in care.
For Katura Reynolds, Woodland Park Zoo interpretive content developer, it's all about the animals. "I'm just extremely excited to meet the rhinos and be able to share that with our guests. Getting up close to these animals is going to be an amazing experience—one I think will inspire our guests to take action on their behalf." Katura has a background in science illustration and has always found communicating complex ideas to be a fascinating challenge, which is a skill that couldn't be more fitting for this project.
The young rhinos were both born at other accredited conservation zoos. They've never faced the threats that haunt their wild cousins, yet their very presence may catalyze hope for their species and all the others threated by wildlife trafficking.
Rhinos are among the animals that are most hard-hit by poachers; their horns fetch more than gold or silver on the black market. Made of keratin, the same material as your fingernails, the horn has no medicinal benefits whatsoever. Yet it remains a highly sought after luxury item among those wealthy enough to seek this pretend elixir as a false cure for cancer, impotence, hangovers and other ailments against which it truly has no power. While China is often blamed for its insatiable appetite for endangered animal parts, the issue is alive and well right here at home—the U.S. also ranks as one of the largest consumers of trafficked wildlife.
Idea sketch for an educational and interpretive sign in Assam Rhino Reserve.
Whether we fault a cancer-curing rumor, a status symbol for a record number of indulgent new multimillionaires, or a shortage of real medical treatment for a growing population—the lucrative and violent poaching business has global implications. Rhino horn and other trafficked animal parts easily make their way from Africa and India to other parts of the world, snuck in among legal goods, deep inside container cargo ships in ports like Beijing, Genoa and even here in Seattle. The highly organized crime syndicates that back wildlife trafficking profit immensely, funding terrorism, corruption and human trafficking.
Complicated doesn't begin to explain it. But we're up for the challenge. The exhibit design team is busy creating an interactive space that will transport our guests to another world, while also spotlighting the fact that our own state is wrapped up in the complex web of the illegal wildlife trade. The team will be introducing guests to two incredibly cool, dynamic animals while acknowledging the hard reality that this species is in great danger because of people. And most of all, the team must inspire hope in our guests and spur the community to join us in advocating for a species that lives halfway around the world—because only together can we push back against multimillion dollar, international crime rings with a growing market. Oh, and then there are the turtles and cranes in the exhibit, who have their own incredible stories. Easy, right?

We'll let you decide how we do, but in the meantime, we are fervently drafting an experience we hope will be a catalyst for protecting all wildlife. We hope your family continues this conversation long after you leave the exhibit. We hope you'll add to our story, introduce your own solutions, and continue to rally with us to be the voice for rhinos, tigers, bears, otters, turtles and cranes. We believe you are up to the challenge, and we'll be right alongside you in the fight to stop wildlife trafficking.

Peter Zahler will join Woodland Park Zoo as Vice President of Conservation Initiatives in March 2018.
As Peter Zahler asks in his article, Super Rare Super Squirrel, "What glides down mountains at night, sleeps in cliff caves during the day, eats primarily pine needles, and was thought to be extinct for 70 years? And, at four feet in length, is the biggest gliding mammal in the world?" Hint: it's the same species that Peter rediscovered in Pakistan in 1994—the woolly flying squirrel (which was then thought to be extinct).
Peter is no stranger to enigmatic species having led conservation projects from Alaska, Arizona, Venezuela and Peru, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji to the temperate mountains and vast grasslands of Central Asia. He has studied animals like the Asiatic cheetah, snow leopard, markhor, hoatzin, bristle-thighed curlew, Mongolian gazelle and grasshopper mouse.
Peter's 30 years of professional experience in conservation leadership includes field programs, research, training, capacity building and communications. He knows that wildlife conservation is about people just as much as it is about animals. That's why we are excited to announce that he will be joining the Woodland Park Zoo family as Vice President of Conservation Initiatives.
Peter has a global perspective, with a strong emphasis in Asia, where he once served as the regional director for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). His extensive managerial experience in conservation includes designing and implementing three full-sized country programs in Pakistan, Mongolia and Afghanistan. These three programs are considered cutting-edge examples of payment-for-ecological-services, institutional governance building, protected area design and development, community-based conservation and partnering with industry.
Peter joins us from the Wildlife Conservation Society, a non-profit conservation organization that works with conservation programs around the world and operates New York's signature zoos including Bronx Zoo. There, he was the director of training and capacity building, which involved advising the global health program, coordinating the snow leopard program and the Wildlife Conservation Society Science Council. He is a mentor to young conservation leaders from developing nations and supports developing country conservationists around the world. We are eager to learn from Peter's extensive conservation experience and welcome him to Seattle in early March.
He will no doubt feel right at home in this community that has made conservation so central to its identity, to its heart. Your love for animals and your deep commitment to wildlife drive us to be a voice for all species. In our commitment to wildlife conservation, we see Peter's leadership, expertise and extensive background in bridging innovation and meaningful action as powerful and tangible modes for saving species.
Thank you for your support and please join us in welcoming Peter and his family to Woodland Park Zoo.

One of my favorite times of the school year actually happens right before school starts. I love the excitement of August — decorating my classroom, establishing my classroom management strategy, and developing my curriculum and unit plans. I love that I have the time to really dive into everything, to explore new ideas and approaches, and even get ahead. Unlike planning during the school year, when you squeeze it in during 20 minutes of your prep period (the 20 that weren't spent peeing, copying, or dealing with parents), you really have the time to thoughtfully consider the progression of your lessons, the developing understanding of your student. I just love it.
Considering this, it shouldn't be surprising that the first thing I did after officially accepting an offer in our city school district was to email the principal and ask about the courses I would be teaching and the curriculum for them. In response, I was directed toward the district webpage, where all of the curriculum documents could be found.
And probably a familiar experience for many of you — what I found left me wanting. Essentially, the ninth grade course curriculum was a list of Next Generation Science Standards, followed by a list of student learning objectives. The "pacing guide" that was meant to structure the course was a table that included the week of the school year, the topic, and the textbook chapter I was supposed to cover. When I got my hands on the textbook, I found it had last been printed in the late 90s and its reading level was far beyond that of my future students.
Aside from issues with the textbook, the most disappointing aspect of that "curriculum" was the fact that they essentially just took the old-school science approach of listing facts and ideas, copied and pasted in the relevant Next Generation Science Standards, and handed it out to their new and old teachers to do with what they will. And while I was ready to take on that challenge (because I am a nerd and love lesson planning), I can imagine many of my colleagues were not as thrilled about the idea of developing entire unit concepts, let alone the lessons that went with them. I'm sure many of them simply resorted to that awful textbook — or taught whatever they felt like for the week.
Neither approach is particularly ideal, but at the same time, I don't blame them. Teachers are busy — we spend the bulk of our days with our students (sometimes even eating lunch with them!), our prep times are often intruded upon by meetings with parents, administration, or other faculty, and districts and states are constantly adding additional requirements in the form of data tracking, student documentation, professional development, so on and so forth. And while I absolutely support all of those measures — there simply isn't enough time in the day to get it done… so what do you do? You spend your nights, and your weekends, and your holidays… and that's rough. That's rough to do when you're single, and it's even worse when you have a family. I've been there, and it's not fair.
That said, because it is something I actually do enjoy doing, I've taken the time to create curriculum for a number of courses that I have taught — integrating the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards into a conceptual storyline that hits all of the relevant standards in a way that builds upon prior knowledge and provides a "flow" for the year. You can access one of my favorite curricula here — my middle school life science curriculum — but in case you would like to dive into writing curriculum yourself, I'm going to briefly walk you through my process.
First, I identify the standards I'm going to be expected to cover in this course. It's pretty easy to do if you are structured on a disciplinary model — life science, earth science, physical science, biology, chemistry, etc. It can be a bit trickier if you are using an integrated model, and ideally, you would need to work with the other grade levels to ensure all standards are being addressed. For the sake of simplicity here, let's focus on the disciplinary model, and in a future blog post, I'll discuss how to develop an integrated curriculum.
For middle school life science, it's pretty obvious which ones I would be including — the "life sciences" performance expectations would be where I would want to start.
This concept map is from my earth/space science curriculum.
For this step, I usually create a concept map with topics that are relevant to life science courses. At this point, they are not aligned to the NGSS or in any sort of order.
With my life science course, I looked at the curriculum I was provided (as well as some unit ideas from other school districts), I browsed a life science textbook to see which concepts are generally covered, and lastly, I scanned the Disciplinary Core Ideas from the NGSS. I figured out that typically life science courses are going to cover things like ecosystems, living things, evolution, cells, and sometimes health/human body systems. As I move forward, I will align the content under these concepts to the NGSS, but this was my starting point.
After identifying the standards and topics, the goal is to develop a conceptual storyline based on the standards — not just a list of facts or topics students need to memorize. We want students to understand where they came from (prior knowledge), how it connects to current learning, and then to build on to that in the future.
In the life sciences, I have found two approaches that work well — starting BIG and moving SMALL, or starting SMALL and moving BIG. I personally prefer the starting BIG and moving SMALL, but I know many life science teachers that do the opposite. I totally understand their reasoning — obviously the small things build up into the big things — but I have found students can relate to the concepts in a unit on ecosystems better than they can a unit on cell biology or processes, and at the beginning of the year, my focus is very much on building relationships and rapport, establishing classroom norms, building confidence in science skills and practices, so on and so forth. I want to excite them with science early on, and I find it's easier to do by starting with the BIG concepts. But again, that's just my preference.
I figured I could do the health/human body stuff at the end of the year, because it's engaging, testing isn't super focused on it (in my state, at least), and if I didn't get to it, oh well. It's not really a major part of my district's standards.
Also, you'll notice that while that's what I came up with at first, as I delved deeper into this process, I actually flipped Genetics and Heredity and Evolution. I realized as I was investigating the concepts and standards that it would be helpful for students to have a firmer grasp on the mechanics of genetics/heredity before getting into natural selection and evolution.
But anyway, after creating my initial outline of topics, I started to consider what I wanted students to be discovering in these units and how I could tie it all together. This is the storyline — connecting one thing to the next. For example, in the ecosystem unit, they are considering things like, "What is biodiversity? Why should we care about it? How is everything connected?" This takes them into a unit on living things (life), where they then look at, "What kind of life is there on Earth? How are things similar and different?" You can see the rest of my questions there on my notebook page.
As I moved more into the units, I realized (as I said above) that Genetics and Heredity needed to come before Evolution. I switched my focus from "How does evolution happen?" to "Why do we have so many differences?" I can then focus on the idea that organisms have traits that may help them survive in their ecosystem that were inherited from their parents — how the diversity of environments (ecosystems unit!) is connected to the diversity of organisms (life unit!) through the mechanisms of genetics and heredity. Then, in the evolution unit, they will dive deeper into how it works on large scales to produce changes in populations through natural selection.
Once I have the general storyline down, I went through all of the performance expectations for the NGSS in my disciplinary area and jotted down which category it would fall under. If it might relate but maybe wasn't totally my focus, I put it in parenthesis. That indicates I will touch on the concept, but it would be better addressed in other units. I also then scanned through the other disciplinary areas (although the NGSS does a good job of pointing you in that direction if you look in the orange box on the performance expectation pages) to see if there were any other standards I might touch on in my life science units. Even in a disciplinary model curriculum, you can still have some overlap (because Earth is an interconnected system!), so it's great to incorporate other science disciplines when you can so that students understand that.
My last step is to start identifying the general ideas or units I would need to address all of those performance expectations. I come up with these ideas by examining the performance expectations and disciplinary core ideas I had already sorted into my broad categories. And I also repeat the process I completed above, where I worked to flow one sub-unit into the next. For example, in my ecosystems unit, I have several sub-units. Students move from studying biomes (answering questions like "Why can't a cacti live in Pennsylvania?" and "What is the relationship between living organisms and abiotic factors?") to investigating Interactions and Interdependence in Ecosystems (looking into "How do organisms survive in their environment?" and "How do the interactions between organisms affect the survival, growth, and reproduction of individual organisms and entire populations?"). Then, they move into the transfer of energy, the cycling of matter, and lastly changes in ecosystems. The concepts build one upon another until they can complete a unit task that unifies the many ideas. As they move into the next unit, I always try to find connections to the previous unit to keep that conceptual storyline rolling.
One of the last things I do is create those essential questions I have been giving examples of above. For each unit, I try to identify a real world case study students can connect with and interact with throughout the unit. While I usually have one very general essential question, I develop a few specific questions based around that case study (like How do organisms survive in a frozen desert? vs. How do organisms survive in their environment?). Students should be able to answer the first one initially, and then through elaboration activities, answer the second more generally (or with other specific ecosystems).
To add that three dimensional learning component, I identify the practices I am focusing on in this unit. While you should be incorporating a variety of science and engineering practices in your lessons and units daily, I do focus on the one most relevant to the performance expectation throughout the sub-unit. By doing that, I can be sure that I have really addressed all of the practices in depth by the end of the course. I just identify the practice I'm focusing on and keep it on my unit plan, so that I have a frequent reminder to incorporate that whenever I can create an opportunity to do so.
I do the same with the Crosscutting Concepts. These are identified in the NGSS – it literally tells you which performance expectation each is aligned to – so that you can easily notate that that is the "lens" you want to be looking through throughout the unit. I keep that there as a reminder to touch on those big ideas as we explore the disciplinary concepts.
To figure out pacing, I simply examine which big ideas have the most performance expectations and disciplinary knowledge and chunk out time from there to start with. If there are more Performance Expectations and Disciplinary Core Ideas in a particular area, that area should be given more time during the course.
I always give myself a few weeks of a buffer, because I know I always go over with everything. And then after running through the curriculum and getting a better idea of my student population, I can usually pinpoint the timing a bit better for subsequent years. I just know that if I don't give myself a time limit for each unit up front, I would end up with a five year long science course.
Voila! You have your curriculum, and at least now you can answer the question: WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO TEACH?

When you are researching the homeschooling pro's and cons one of the subtopics will inevitably be that of the time commitment that is required of the parents who are considering homeschooling.
The time commitment homeschooling pro and con is a question that I get asked frequently. Everyone says that they know that there is a big time commitment to homeschooling their children. At this point, I like to gently remind them that homeschooling requires an enormous amount of time! Aside from the daily tasks you will have of being a homeschool teacher, remember that you still have to make time to plan your lessons, keep your appropriate records, and evaluate your child's progress.
Family communication is a big key when it comes to the homeschooling arena. You need to talk together as a family when deciding if homeschooling is a viable educational option for the kids. Certainly, homeschooling works better for some than others. Some find the homeschooling time commitments overwhelming, while others enjoy the flexibility and don't mind the challenges.
Cost: This is certainly worthy of discussion as it pertains to the pro's and cons of homeschooling. If you are starting from scratch, all of the homeschooling and educational resources that you intend to use can become quite expensive. And be sure to give great consideration and crunch numbers if you will be losing an income of one of the parents because they will be homeschooling.
On the positive side, there is an abundance of homeschooling parents that share their expertise and their home school resources. Also, make sure that you use everyday household items, your child's natural environment, and your community itself as homeschooling educational resources. When you're in your research mode, you'll want to explore resource availability for future grades and even advanced subject matter.
As far as social considerations go, and people expressing concerns that homeschooling inhibits social development, we did not have any such problem, nor have I been able to find any solid evidence that supports this concern. As homeschooling parents, we don't want our kids to be socially inept or outcasts, and as such we make an effort to keep our kids active socially by participating in many of the 'normal' extracurricular activities within the community. Also, with the flexibility that homeschooling provides, this will allow for more time for your children to volunteer in the community and be a part of many charitable events.
With any endeavor with the commitment the size and importance of educating your children, homeschooling pro's and con's will surface. Know that the time commitment to homeschooling is huge… but so is the love of your children. The financials can significant, but creativeness and budgeting can overcome. Social skills can decline, but only if you let them. In short, there are hills to climb, but none are too tall and as you gain experience; the hills are smaller and further between.

308 Carlisle Street epitomises refined apartment living in Melbourne's bayside, marrying purest architectural forms with a considered curation of materials that sits comfortably in the established streetscape.
Town planning requirements dictated only two storeys could be visible at street level, however significantly recessed upper levels allowed for the construction of five.
Inspiration for the external expression came from surrounding buildings that exhibit a sense of solidity through masonry construction, a strong rhythm of vertical structural elements, repetition of detail, and the contrast of fine mouldings against heavy structural elements. As a result, 308 Carlisle Street shares similar ideas, albeit expressed in a contemporary, refined manner.

Guetterman December 20, 2020 December 20, 2020 Uncategorized
According to Foster, this practice of "shopping" for an Islamic scholar, a fatwa that attests that a bank product obeys the Shari`ah law, means that "best scholars" earn "six-figure sums" for each fatwa, and Islamic financing mechanisms that appear to be external mortgages "dressed" in Arabic terminology, such as Mudarabah or Ijarah (leasing contracts). [184] Murabahah is roughly similar to a conventional mortgage transaction (for housing) or lease-purchase/"scaly plan" agreements (for furniture or appliances) since the financier himself buys the item and sells it to the customer who pays the financier in increments, instead of lending money to a buyer for the purchase of an item and having the buyer repay. Unlike traditional financing, the bank is compensated for the present value of its money in the form of "profits" and not interest,[90] and any penalty for late payments is given to charity and not to the financier. [87] [Note 7] However, other sources indicate that the borrower may pay a surcharge if the supplement is optional and not contractual. [153] Some financial institutions offer lenders products called qardh-ul hasan, which do not charge interest but charge additional administrative fees. [154] There are also savings account products called qardh-ul hasan (the "credit" is a deposit into a bank account) in which the debtor (the bank) can pay an additional amount beyond the main amount of the loan (known as Hibah, literally gift) as a sign of revaluation to the creditor (depositor). Nor does they (theoretically) violate Orthodox Sharia if the supplement has not been promised or agreed beforehand with the account/loan contract. [155] Differences between boards of directors on what constitutes respect for Sharia law can create "doubts in the minds of customers" as to whether a particular bank actually complies with Sharia law and should continue to operate. [498] "Sharia`s finance (Islamic banking) is a new weapon in the arsenal of this, What could be described as a fifth-generation war (5GW), the terrorism expert and author of Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It Rachel Ehrenfeld and investigative journalist Alyssa A.

I see a listing fee on the listings page after verifying a listing but I receive free listings every month. Why is WP-Lister showing a listing fee?
Unfortunately this is the way that eBay handles free listings with a 3rd party plugin. eBay doesn't take free listings into account when you have verified the listing. This is simply because it has not been listed to eBay yet. You could have 500 verified listings, but technically they wouldn't be published yet so eBay won't give you the free listing until the listing is actually published. You see a fee, but when you publish it, no fee is incurred.


This is a toy I've always wanted. Now at least my Simmies can have one.
Edit: I forgot to mention that both files in the download need to go in your Downloads folder in order for this to work.
Also, NixNivis brought it to my attention that I forgot to stress a warning about using an NPC Controller. Please, especially if you don't do it often, be sure to back up your hood and download shinies before installing this object. I don't believe anything bad will happen, but there is always a good chance of something unexpected when dealing with NPCs.
Had a little trouble getting this one completed. Been looking for the tutorial by shaklin for ages; with no luck. Finally got tired of searching, and said 'WTF- maybe I can figure it out myself.' Had a working toy a bit later, but it would override the original in the catalog. Finally discovered a post from Echo that had a working link to the tute, and found out I needed to make a controller NPC to get it to work right. So now I'm able to share. Hope you get some giggles out of it.
As noted above, I don't have a fully working basegame version yet.
It bugs me a bit that the toy really doesn't do much but zoom around. Once the BG problem is fixed, I'll work on getting some animation overlay so his fingers can wiggle while running.
Special thanks to shaklin and Echo, who so graciously shared their knowledge and hard work so others like me could learn to do this.

Groups of Tibetans held scattered protests in New Delhi for a second day Tuesday, Indian police have detained 24 Tibetans protesting against the visit of Chinese President Hu Jintao. They are demanding independence or autonomy for Chinese-controlled Tibet.
Police arrested at least four of the protesters after they tried to reach the building where Chinese President Hu Jintao was meeting the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Monday four Tibetans shouting anti-China slogans jumped in front of Hu's motorcade as he arrived from the airport.
Indian authorities asked Tibetans to leave the center of New Delhi and told students to stay inside their dormitories during Mr. Hu's visit. Police have vowed to move against those who disobey the order.

Home #TRENDING Kwankwaso: 'I'll Recruit 750,000 Youths Into Police Force, Make WAEC, JAMB Free'
Kwankwaso: 'I'll Recruit 750,000 Youths Into Police Force, Make WAEC, JAMB Free'
According to his manifesto, Kwankwaso promised to recruit 750,000 youths into the Nigeria Police Force and make the West African Examinations Council and the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board free for students.
Speaking at an event in Abuja on Thursday, Kwankwaso stated that his promises to Nigerians are anchored around his "deep commitment to making the country work for all of us and in the overall interest of all Nigerians".
The former Kano governor said if elected, his administration will provide patriotic and competent leadership that is guided by the seven time-tested principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership by example.
"We will be fair and just to all, and we shall ensure fairness and justice at all levels of governance," he said.
Speaking on the security of the nation, Kwankwao said insecurity has contributed to heightened, and increasing despair and hopelessness in Nigeria. He said if elected, his administration will tackle the menace using a "special approach".
"In our arrangement, we shall use the military and the police optimally to ensure that terrorism, banditry, kidnapping-for-ransom, militancy, insurgency, oil theft and bunkering, communal clashes, and all other forms of security breaches that are making our country unsafe are tackled head-on and brought to a permanent stop," the manifesto reads.
"The size of the Nigerian Armed Forces will be built to about one million active service men and women. This entails recruiting an additional of about 750 thousand more personnel into the armed forces.
"The size of the Nigerian Police will also be built to about One million active service men and women. This will bring the police-to-citizen ratio to 1:220 (much better than the UN-recommended minimum of 1:450). The numbers can easily be obtained from the pool of able-bodied unemployed youth that are roaming our streets in all the 8,809 wards.
"After the special operation that will bring to an end the menace of terrorism, violent extremism, kidnapping-for-ransom, banditry, farmers/herders clashes, and any such insurgency threats, bulk of the armed forces and the police will then be redeployed to other productive activities such as: engineering works, healthcare works, housing infrastructure works, agriculture services, and such other public interest works."
Speaking on his plan for education, Kwankwaso stated that his administration will treat education as an investment, not an expenditure.
SEE THIS! NYSC: "Corps members will now provide fitness certificates at orientation camps."
He said his administration will mop up the 20 million out-of-school children in Nigeria in the next four years, and review provisions of the Universal Basic Education Act with emphasis on gender equity in primary and secondary school enrolment.
"For our administration, no Nigerian child shall be denied the opportunity to write WAEC, NECO, JAMB, etc., because of their inability to pay exorbitant registration/examination fees. These examinations shall be free and all application forms for admission into tertiary education institutions (TEIs) shall also be free," the document said.
"The notion that matriculation examination in Nigeria expires after one year will be stopped forthwith. JAMB results under the RMK government will have a lifespan of four years and TEIs will be required to accept these results for the purposes of admission."
He said rather than establishing new public tertiary institutions, his administration will focus on upgrading, rehabilitating and expanding the existing ones to the level of global competitiveness.
On economy, he said his administration will run an emergency rescue plan to salvage the economy, protect the citizens' savings, restore fiscal discipline, and improve crude oil and gas production.
Kwankwao said he would also improve non-oil revenue, target inflation, save the naira from the current "uncontrolled devaluation", and limit capital flight from the country.

"We shall expand the tax base and the tax net by ensuring that businesses that are actively avoiding and/or evading tax are brought into the tax system. We shall Create the enabling environment where trade, investments and businesses will blossom and manufacturing (re-industrialization) will be the pivot upon which the Nigerian economy will stand," the document reads.
"The economy will be actively diversified. Aggressive efforts will be made to strengthen the non-oil sectors, hone the potentialities, harness the opportunities and harvest the yields for the good of all Nigerians."
According to the document, fiscal discipline will be restored by reducing the size of the federal government's recurrent expenditure to bring down the level of deficit.
Kwankwaso stated that given the level of the deficit, the capital budgets will be overhauled to improve value for money by prioritising only key infrastructure projects that will have a positive impact on production and competitiveness.
He said jobs will be created at multiple levels through the economic revamping strategy as well as through constructive engagement with the youth by honing their skill sets and providing them with the necessary support.
"More and more jobs will be created through targeted investments, special accelerated projects and programmes," the document reads.

Children, especially the younger ones, are prone to accidents. Since their reflexes are not as quick as teenagers' or adults', they tend to damage their teeth when they fall face-flat on the ground. As parents or guardians, we don't want to see them in pain. However, dental emergencies are unavoidable at this point in their lives, so we should be ready should such instances arise.
If your child's tooth had been knocked-out of his or her mouth completely, it is best to contact Pickering Square Dental immediately. Time is an important factor in saving a tooth. Dentists, in general, do not attempt to re-implant primary (baby) teeth because the procedure itself might cause damage to the tooth bud. While you are not with Dr. Marvin Lean and his team, it is best to recover the tooth. Be careful not to touch the root, just handle the crown carefully. Gently rinse off the tooth with water but do not scrub the tooth. Keep the tooth wet ( a glass of milk is ideal) during transportation as moisture is important for the tooth to be re-implanted successfully.
This is common in children of all ages and it rarely occurs without cause. If pain persists, give us a call. Some common causes of toothache are tooth decay, tooth trauma, tooth fractures, and wisdom teeth eruption (for adolescents). You can help your child relieve the pain by cleansing the area using warm water. It is best to hold off medication if you haven't seen your dentist. Apply cold compress to the affected area in order to reduce the swelling.
When a child gets into an accident and causes dental trauma, this might force a tooth (or several teeth) upwards into the jawbone. The force of trauma could be great enough to injure the tooth's ligament, and fracturing its socket. It's important to rinse your child's mouth with cold water and apply cold compress around the affected areas to reduce swelling. Make sure to call us right away to completely relieve your child of the pain.
Tooth displacement depends on how the tooth is angled following the trauma. Extrusion implicates that the tooth has become partly removed from its socket. Dental treatment should be sought for permanent teeth that have been displaced in order to attempt whenever possible to save the tooth as well as prevent infection. Apply cold, moist compress on the affected area and offer pain relief that has been approved by paediatricians.
Dr. Marvin Lean and our Professional Dental Team can easily assess the severity of a fracture by the use of dental X-rays. If there are any changes in tooth color, this indicates an emergency warning sign. While you are on your way to our office, make sure to apply cold, moist compress on the affected area to reduce swelling. Do not wait another day to have this looked by the dentist.
There are other dental emergencies that your child can experience. Make sure to consult us right away to prevent any further damage or infection from developing. We here at Pickering Square Dental and serve Durham and surrounding areas for their Emergency Dental needs.

This past week, we traveled to Indianapolis and visited Southeast Community Services, an agency that provides GED preparation and job skills training. As Sister Simone spoke with 30 clients, we learned that there is a severe shortage of affordable housing in Indianapolis and that low wages are preventing parents and grandparents from adequately providing for their families. It was also clear many of the people sharing their stories didn't feel like they should vote because they were poor or hadn't graduated from high school, or because they felt like politics didn't apply to them.
We showed two of our presidential candidate Side by Side videos, one that compared Clinton and Trump's positions on affordable housing and one on living wages. Afterwards, Sister Simone asked, "So, what do you think?" Immediately, Thomasina raised her hand and said, "I'm going to vote! I wasn't going to because I thought I was going to destroy something…but it's important for my family! How do I vote?" Thomasina, who had just sold her car for $150 so she could buy her kids new school clothes, is going to vote for the first time in this election and add her voice to our democracy.
