Les Miserables: "To love another person is to see the face of God"
"Crépuscule," Victor Hugo. Public Domain.
When Jean Valjean reenters French society after serving a 19-year sentence for stealing bread, his existence has become defined by retribution and the struggle to survive. So when a bishop takes him in, Valjean steals the bishop's silver and escapes into the night.
But Valjean's world is unmade when the bishop forgives him, gives him the candlesticks as well, and challenges him to become an honest man because, as the bishop says, "I have bought your soul for God."
"I am reaching, but I fall,
And the night is closing in,
And I stare into the void,
To the whirlpool of my sin,
I'll escape now from this world,
From the world of Jean Valjean,
Jean Valjean is nothing now,
Another story must begin."
With that, Valjean breaks his parole, adopts a new identity, and eventually becomes a businessman and mayor, and Inspector Javert relentlessly pursues him.Javert's and Valjean's lives wind through and intertwine with a swirling mosaic of other characters. Fantine suffers harassment from the factory foreman and her coworkers, loses her job, sells her locket, her hair, and herself in an effort to support her daughter, Cosette. The Thenardiers ostensibly care for Cosette but are more interested in the money she might bring in—as a boarder…or a blackmail victim. A group of students foment an insurrection. But when Javert goes undercover to help put down the insurrection, his identity is discovered, and Valjean saves his life.
Valjean's kindness and forgiveness shatter Javert's world, which had been defined by the law, retribution, and his identification with the law:
And the stars are black and cold.
As I stare into the void
Of a world that cannot hold,
I'll escape now from the world
From the world of Jean Valjean;There is nowhere I can turn;There is no way to go on...."
Valjean's love and forgiveness change him and those around him. Javert, though he remains true to his principles, ultimately demonstrates the inadequacy of his understanding.
But it is not just a powerful story, deep character development, or great production that makes it soar—though "Les Miserables" has those things. There's something about the world the characters inhabit and the way they relate to one another.Because "love is everlasting," those who love do so in the context of something greater than themselves. Something that has meaning beyond their lifetimes. And it inspires hope that real redemption is possible, not based on accumulated merit or happy endings but in relation to something more, so that—in Valjean's case—there's more to being human than survival—for Marius and Cosette—love is possible despite the loss that happens along the way and—in Eponine's case—even unrequited love has meaning and dignity.
Lost in the valley of the night,
It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light;
For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord;
They will walk behind the ploughshare, the will put away the sword.
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward!"
It approaches though does not state explicitly what C.S. Lewis in "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" called deeper magic—"…when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." Or to borrow from another British literary figure, it inspires hope everything sad might someday come untrue.
Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg's original French musical came out in 1980, based on Victor Hugo's novel. Cameron Mackintosh heard the score in 1982, and in 1985, the original London production opened with lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer and sets by John Caird. Mackintosh's new 25th anniversary production of "Les Mis" features some new orchestration, and the set design by Matt Kinley uses light and projection based on Hugo's paintings and adds a sense of place and motion through the story.

Allan Cooke had three great runs for 6th overall. TJ Lavin, too, had a couple of great runs, but finished up 9th.

tonyd., www.foxracing.com, august 2005: First up was Dave Mirra and Vert. Dave qualified 3rd with two great runs sans a 540-whip and a flair-whip. In the Finals, Dave placed 3rd again with a 540-whip and an "almost" flair-whip. He was a little disappointed with the 3rd overall, and felt it was more worth a 2nd place... but that's the name of the game sometimes.
press release: August 18, 2005 - Portland, OR - Jamie Bestwick, 34, from Nottingham, GBR, wowed the crowd at the Rose Quarter's Memorial Coliseum Thursday evening with a run featuring an arsenal of tricks during BMX Vert Finals.

He also finished in first place at the Tour's Right Guard Open last month. Bestwick currently sits in second place in the Dew Action Sports Tour points standings with 200 total points.
It was Bestwick's first of two runs that stole the show and scored a 92.50. That run was highlighted by impressive downside tailwhip flair into a 540.
"This Dew Tour is amazing," said Bestwick. "I'm chasing the title and am now only 20 points behind [first place]."
Finishing in second was Kevin Robinson, 33, of East Providence, RI, with a score of 91.75. Robinson finished in first place at the Panasonic Open and in sixth place at the Right Guard Open. He is currently the Tour's overall BMX Vert points leader.
Dave Mirra, 31, of Greenville, NC, rounds out the top three with a score of 91.50. Mirra finished fourth at the Panasonic Open and third at the Right Guard Open. He is currently tied with Chad Kagy for third place in the overall Dew Action Sports Tour standings.
The night ended with Kevin Robinson captivating the crowd by trying to land the world's first double flair. The Tour's skateboard and BMX athletes congregated on the deck of the vert ramp in support of Robinson. Despite coming up short in his attempt at history, Robinson earned an extended standing ovation from the Memorial Coliseum crowd. 1	Bestwick	Jamie

PlayStation Trick of the Week
PLAYSTATION TRICK OF THE WEEK WINNER
Fans Choose Ryan Guettler As Winner
After Front Flip at Tour's Vans Invitational
NEW YORK - August 30, 2005 - The Dew Action Sports Tour, the first-ever, season-long professional multi-sport tour in action sports, today announced the winner of the PlayStation Trick of the Week Award from the Vans Invitational.
Voting began after competitions at the Dew Action Sports Tour's Vans Invitational ended Sunday, August 21. Fans were able to view video clips and vote online at www.dewactionsportstour.com until Sunday, August 28. Ryan Guettler won the Trick of the Week after he performed a flawless front flip en route to winning the BMX Dirt Finals. Guettler also leads the Dew Cup points standings in BMX Dirt and BMX Park.
"This is motivation to keep on pushing the rest of the season," said Guettler. "I'm happy to be consistent this year across two disciplines and leading the points standings in both. I'm also thrilled that the front flip won - it was just a part of my normal routine."
Guettler beat out BMX Vert competitor, Jamie Bestwick, who completed a flair tailwhip during Vert Finals. That trick was enough for him to win the competition, but not to take the PlayStation® Trick of the Week. BMX Park winner Ryan Nyquist was also nominated for Trick of the Week after he nailed a 720 over the box during Park Finals. Sandro Dias completed the elusive 900 in Skate Vert finals. Dias is one of only a few skaters who can land the trick. Skate Vert points leader Bucky Lasek's run in Vert Finals included a cab heelflip that was good enough to get him nominated. In the end, the online community chose Guettler's trick as the best.
Guettler wins $5,000 and will compete for the PlayStation® Trick of the Year versus all the other Trick of the Week winners from other Dew Action Sports Tour events, including the upcoming Toyota Challenge (September 8-11). Online polls open on the last day of each event.
Polls will be open throughout the week of October's PlayStation® Pro, when online voters will choose the PlayStation® Trick of the Year winner from the four Trick of the Week winners. The winner will be announced during the Dew Action Sports Tour NBC broadcast on Sunday, October 16. This athlete will take home $10,000 in cash as well as other PlayStation® prizes.

As parents, one of the hardest and most distressing things we are faced with is bullying. It touches all of us at some point. We know from the Australian Child Health Poll that Australians think that bullying is one of the big problems facing children and young people today, so what is the best way to tackle it?
Bullying is defined as "an ongoing misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that causes physical and/or psychological harm."It can occur in person or online and can have long-term, and sometimes considerable, consequences for our children. Most schools have a bullying policy and if your child tells you that they're being bullied, the first step is to speak with their class teacher or year level coordinator. If a teacher observes an incident it is expected that they will speak directly to the student(s) involved and provide clear direction about what is considered acceptable behaviour. A further incident should trigger involvement of the parents and potentially counselling for both children – the victim and the bully. Further incidents may result in behavioural consequences, such as detention or mediation, or even suspension and/or expulsion.
There is much greater awareness in schools now about the need for students and the whole school community to create respectful relationships and to focus on student wellbeing. I am so delighted when my kids tell me that they've done "mindfulness" at school; I don't recall this being taught in my time at school? All children have the right to be in an environment free from harassment or fear, to feel safe and comfortable at school, and to be treated with understanding and respect by others. There needs to be a strong commitment made by the school, students, staff and parents to uphold these values and to ensure that this is what our kids' experience.
What can we do as parents to more effectively deal with and prevent bullying?
2. Secondly, we can make sure we are not raising a bully!
Just as we need to be attuned to when things are not going well, we should also be aware if our children are picking on other kids or excluding them. One of the key reasons children bully others is to enhance their social status or they may be trying to be "cool" or improve their popularity without being fully aware of the consequences of their actions. Their behaviour may be subtle with no overt name-calling, just pure rejection of another kid based on difference. Many parents hover over or "helicopter" over most aspects of their kids' lives including their school-work, activities, sleep and nutrition, but when it comes to their social lives they stand back. Why? It may be easier to identify with if they were picked on or bullied as kids, but it is also our job as parents to recognise this behaviour in our children and intervene if needed.
We need to have the fortitude to pick them up on this behaviour and to teach them to accept and tolerate difference and to be kind. It's not enough to just "be nice" – we all know there are subtle ways to be unkind. They don't have to necessarily become best friends with the kid they find annoying (although I'm sure if they gave them half a chance they would realise that they have more in common with them than they thought!). But, actively seeking out and teasing or mocking other kids is not OK and we need to be very clear about that. We also need to encourage our kids to be an upstander NOT a bystander, and to have the courage to intervene on behalf of the victim. One parent described it as their "ATM Machine Analogy" – some kids have social bank to spare and these kids should be encouraged to make a withdrawal on behalf of less fortunate kids, without them needing to risk too much. They can be taught to invest in and stick up for others!
I have been on both sides of the fence with this issue with my own kids and both situations are hard. I am not trying to simplify the issue or issue blame, but I do believe that if we as parents and teachers are going to tackle the "bullying culture" we need to speak to our kids about tolerance, difference and kindness AND try to build their resilience and strength. We need to teach them early in life to be less quick in their assessments and dismissals of others and to develop strong social skills that they will use for the rest of their life.
Listed are a number of excellent up to date resources for children and their families.

Increasing age increases the likelihood of having joint pain. Due to the weakness of bones in the body, due to the proper exercise and lack of essential nutrients in the food, diseases of the joints begin to appear and grow. Though the use of medicines provides occasional benefits for this pain, its authentic alternative treatment is available in yoga, which can benefit from the early release of pain. Yoga is an ancient Indian technique that exacerbates the pain from the root and releases the body. Yoga provides relaxation to the mind by improving physical health. So let's know which are the poses of yoga for knee pain.
We all know, knee pain is found in children and adults around the world, which is a common disease. In fact, knee disease increases with age. In knee pain, we use home remedies in the first level of medication, but sometimes you have to face difficulty in walking, as a consultation doctor will be necessary.
Knee pain is such a problem that people are battling in large numbers. Many people have adopted many types of remedies, including therapies, surgery, and medicines etc. for their treatment, but still, do not make any difference. In this way, you can solve this problem through Yoga. Let's know, some such poses of yoga for knee pain.
Tadasana is composed of two words of Sanskrit Tada and asana. Tada which means Mountain and Asana means Pose. Tadasana yoga is very effective to bring the stance in both sides and body, from the feet to the feet and to increase the length. Apart from this, this posture also has many advantages to the body. It keeps us away from various disorders and also removes body problems. This is one of the poses of yoga for knee pain.
Women should abstain from exercising in their pregnancy.
Stand straight on the floor and keep a distance between the two legs.
After this, keep your hands touching the body completely open.
Now lift your arms while breathing and interlock your fingertips with each other.
After this, lift your heels and stand with your toes.
Now feel the feet, toes and stretch in the body.
Stay in this posture for some time while breathing.
Repeat this yoga posture at least 10 times.
The meaning of "Makara" in Sanskrit is a crocodile. In this posture, the body looks like a crocodile, hence it has been named Makarasana. It is also called Crocodile Yoga Pose. If this yoga is done in the right way, then it has many benefits. Makarasana is a very good yoga practice for the waist and spine and plays an important role in reducing your depression. This is one of the poses of yoga for knee pain.
Lie down on the stomach, touching the floor with chin, chest, and stomach.
Now you lift the head and make the cup shape by bringing both hands on the cheek.
Slowly bring both feet to the bottom of your hips and then slowly move down.
In this way, you have to do ten cycles.
Veerasana is named after the word "Veer", which means Bahadur. This asana is one of the meditation hymns, so it should generally be done in the morning. This is one of the poses of yoga for knee pain.
Sit on your legs folding them.
Hold your right ankle and remove the right paw from the bottom of the hip and keep it out of the right thigh.
Do this with the left leg too.
Doing this, your hip should touch the ground.
Keep your hands on the knees.
Sit comfortably as long as you can.
'Trikona' means triangle and asana means yoga. This means that in this asana the body becomes the shape of the triangle, hence its name is trikonasana. Trikonasana is a very good yoga practice to reduce back and knee pain. It plays a major role in controlling diabetes along with reducing obesity. This is one of the poses of yoga for knee pain.
Stand straight Make a convenient distance between your legs.
Rotate your right leg 90 degrees and left leg 15 degrees.

Take a deep breath inward, turn your body to the right.
Lift your left hand up in the air and take the right hand down to the ground Visit.
Keep in mind that your body is bent towards the side.

Holidays in Zambia
You could argue that Zambia is Africa's best-kept secret. Tucked away in the heart of central Africa, it harbours an untamed blend of wetlands, rugged hills and sprawling bush teeming with wildlife and a number of luxury lodges and camps put you in the heart of the action. It's a safari-lover's dream but only attracts a fraction of the visitors when you compare it to the crowds who make a beeline for the headlining circuits of Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa.
Those who ignore this quiet patch of Africa are missing a trick. The harsh thunder of the UNESCO-listed Victoria Falls, the planet's largest by volume, is a phenomenon you simply have to experience in the flesh to truly understand nature's raw power – a life-changing moment on any holiday.
Zambia isn't just a single splash in the pan. Almost a third of it is protected by national parks and South Luangwa National Park can probably lay claim to being its best. The walking safari originated here and nothing can match the feeling of you on foot, treading nose-to-snout with impala-hunting leopards or wading hippos. The Lower Zambezi National Park is just as extraordinary, a riverine wilderness where buffalos, elephants, wild dogs and more roam the Zambezi floodplain. Best of all, it'll likely be just you, the wildlife and the landscapes. Wonderful.
Zambia Highlights
1. Victoria Falls
Higher than Niagara Falls in Canada and wider than the Iguazú Falls in South America, Victoria Falls is an African icon of staggering proportions. Shared between Zimbabwe and Zambia, it's a treat for the senses: see the epic curtain of water, hear its deafening roar and feel the blanket of spray hitting your face. It really has to be seen (and heard) to be believed; no wonder it's adopted the mysterious nickname 'The Smoke That Thunders'. As well as purely admiring its raw beauty, there's a multitude of ways to experience it. Get a bird's-eye view from a helicopter ride overhead, get a soaking while treading a nearby trail or taking a courageous glimpse over its edge while floating in the ominously named Devil's Pool. You can even hop over to the Zimbabwean side when the Zambian share diminishes towards the end of the dry season, for an entirely different angle. However you see this astounding wonder, it'll stay with you long after you've returned home.
2. South Luangwa National Park
South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya may grab the headlines but Zambia has a safari gem of its very own. South Luangwa is a mish-mash of contrasting wildernesses, each featuring their own unforgettable wildlife experiences. Spy hippos wallowing in lagoons, elephants wading through marshes, leopards stalking impalas under the cover of thick woodland and buffaloes charging across sprawling plains. The sky is just as abundant, filled with the park's 400 species of birds, such as snake eagles, bateleurs and ground hornbills. Better still, South Luangwa is where the 'walking safari' originated, so close-up on-foot glimpses of wildlife in action are hair-raisingly raw. For sheer density, few destinations in Africa can match this wild slice of Zambia.
3. Lower Zambezi National Park
Tracing a north-eastern slice of the Zambezi River, the Lower Zambezi National Park is a majestic floodplain nestled plum in the river's great rift valley. This artery supports a huge amount of life, a wilderness where elephants slake their thirst on its banks and zebras, bushbucks, lions and wild dogs wander the ebonies and acacias that stand tall on the lush floodplain. The Lower Zambezi only attracts a trickle of visitors and its variety of safari options mean whether you choose to spy game by boat or 4x4, you'll likely have these rich landscapes all to yourself regardless. Most who visit arrive and depart via a light aircraft and it's these first and final glimpses that live long with many, the curving oxbox lakes decorating the emerald floodplain like watery crescent moons. The Lower Zambezi certainly is out of this world in our book.

我和我的女儿参加了这次巡演,不知道这与"欧兰德"剧有关。现在,我们不仅渴望自己观看这部剧。我们的巡演队长艾米对她的任务表现出了真诚的热情,并尽一切努力确保我们通过她的专业精神度过了愉快的时光。 My daughter and I joined this tour not knowing that it is related to the 'Outlander' drama. Now we're more than eager to watch the drama ourselves. Amy, our tour captain, showed sincere passion in her task and made every effort to ensure that we had a great time through her professionalism.


In the field of Public Relations, Eindhoven365 actively works together with partner Eindhoven247. The goal of this collaboration: as many visits to Eindhoven as possible, coming from a wider geographical area, better spread throughout the year, meanwhile spending more money. However, the available budget is limited therefore it has to be used carefully. That is why we focus on a pro-active press strategy that keys with our three core target groups, in 2016.
The last couple of years many (inter) national journalists and bloggers already have been invited and hosted. Primarily coming fromItaly, Spain, Germany, England, Russia and Belgium. One of the highlights was the 12 page article in the renowned travel magazine 'Dove' that identified Eindhoven as 'the new Amsterdam' and 'city of joy'. Also in other international media, focused on innovation, Eindhoven does not go unnoticed. In the context of the Dutch Design Week The New York Times recently wrote: "Eindhoven has emerged as a global center of design experimentation." Furthermore, Wired refers to Eindhoven as one of the eight cities that shows what the future will look like. The statement "Decide well, and cities are magic" is a beautiful compliment for our philosophy "Who chooses, will be chosen".


The CK-12 Foundation was founded with the mission to enable everyone to learn in his or her own way. We pair high quality content with the latest relevant technologies. We equip students, teachers, and parents with everything they need. For free.
CK-12 uses a FlexBook® platform to allow for customization of content and focuses on Concept-Based Learning to allow students to access multiple methods for learning a particular topic.
To help you get started with the CK-12 platform and fill in gaps in your knowledge, we are bringing our newly revised online training back this summer. Now in its second year, our summer training has more sessions, on more days, and at more times, so it's as easy as can be. Join us for seven or more sessions to maximize your experience and become a CK-12 Certified Educator, or sign up for individual webinars to learn about a new topic as your schedule allows.
We'll be here throughout this program to help you transform your classroom to meet your students' needs. During webinars, we'll walk you through the process of accessing, customizing, creating, sharing, and assigning content, interactives, and practice with students. Webinars will be offered Monday through Thursday at 9:00 am and 3:00 pm PDT on various topics. Office hours are also available every Friday for more personalized learning. Plus, you can connect with others and get ideas for your class on the Jumpstart for Educators Forum in our Cafe.
Post a question on the forum, see our help page, or email support@ck12.org.
What's involved in this program?
All sessions offered are online webinars. There are no in-person sessions. In addition to these webinars, there will be office hours throughout the program, where you can sign up to speak with a CK-12 team member via a call or video conference. Users are encouraged to join the Jumpstart Forum in the CK-12 cafe to connect with other educators. Any questions posted there will also be addressed.
How can I cancel or reschedule a session?
Your reminder emails contain a link for cancellation, and you can always register for new sessions on our registration page. You can also email jumpstart@ck12.org if you need help with cancellations or registrations.
Can I get professional development through my district for participating in the program?
CK-12 will gladly provide documentation of your participation in any live webinar and any proof of content published on our site. Participants looking for this documentation should submit the matching Google Form for CK-12's verification.
How do I become CK-12 Certified?
To become certified with CK-12, you need to attend 7 sessions (including the 2 required ones) and submit the matching assignments. If for some reason you can't make one of the sessions you are registered for, we encourage you to register for a later offering of that session. However, you can miss a single live session and instead watch the recording, turn in the assignment, and still qualify for Certified Educator status. If you have questions about this process or issues meeting these requirements but still wish to become CK-12 Certified, please email jumpstart@ck12.org.
What will I be able to do on CK-12 by the end of this program?
Users will be able to navigate CK-12 resources, customize content, utilize interactives, assign resources, and track student progress.
What can I do now to prepare for this program or extend my knowledge of CK-12?
Explore CK-12's resources through searching and browsing. Check out CK-12's Help Center for general information. Join the Jumpstart Forum and connect with others in this program. Email support@ck12.org with any questions about using CK-12.
Welcome to CK-12's Certified Educator Program! Participants completing a CK-12 Certified Educator pathway need to join this introductory session to learn about program logistics and CK-12. Throughout this session, you'll learn the CK-12 philosophy behind Concept-Based Learning and begin navigating this robust platform to find FlexBooks® and supporting modalities—reads, simulations, PLIX interactives, videos, assessment, real world applications, and more—to meet your needs.
CK-12 Help Center: Where do I start?
Whew! You've learned so much this summer and now it's time to put it all together! Required for all participants becoming CK-12 Certified Educators, this session will include how everything fits together, both within the CK-12 platform and in using it in your class, school, or district. You'll leave with the tools to implement CK-12 and the confidence that we are here to support you throughout the school year as well.
If you've been thinking about using CK-12's FlexBooks® in your school or district, this session will give you the tips and resources you need to get started. It will cover reasons for choosing CK-12, best practices for individual or team customization, and ways students and colleagues can access your book. Joined by special guests who've used CK-12 to localize content and enhance engagement, you'll finish the session with a plan for implementation.
For those who have never customized a FlexBook® on CK-12, this session will introduce you to our editing tool. It will cover finding content to fit your needs, whether adapting a CK-12 FlexBook® or customizing a user- created book from another school or district. You'll learn how to search for content by region or standard, the basics of customization, and options for sharing and publishing a book. Hear from other users who have chosen to customize books and how that has brought relevance and more engagement to their classes.
Making advanced edits to your FlexBook® doesn't have to be time-consuming or intimidating, but it can make it more engrossing for students. With demonstrations on embedding images and multimedia, tips for adding section headers and page breaks, and guidance for using the math editor, you'll feel confident in your ability to navigate the advanced features of the CK-12 editor. Additionally, this session will give ideas for going beyond basic editing to fully customizing a book to feel tailor-made for your school or district.
CK-12 FlexBooks® are not static textbooks that live on dusty bookshelves or in heavy backpacks. Content comes alive as students access their customized FlexBook® from various devices, use CK-12 tools to keep on track with their class, and even highlight and take notes within their books. This session will also cover various strategies and ideas for using CK-12 FlexBooks® when teaching, as well as showing how other teachers have put them into action in their classes.
In addition to CK-12's Adaptive Practice, which adjusts to the skill level of each student, teachers can assign various modalities—from reads to videos to interactives. This session will go over the difference between study and class groups on CK-12, how to set up groups, assigning practice and tracking student progress, and using the Q&A feature of groups. It will also show the various question types through samples of CK-12's Adaptive Practice and how students and teachers can access practice.
CK-12 did the heavy lifting for you by creating 150,000+ adaptive practice questions, while giving you the ability to customize these questions and assign quizzes to your classes. This session will include an overview of the CK-12 reports feature that tracks student progress. Additionally, you will learn how to maximize the assignment feature by creating multi-concept assignments from within CK-12 groups.
CK-12's Adaptive Practice is not a simple worksheet for students to complete. Students can access practice from their phone or computer, fill in gaps from previously covered content, and complete work on their own schedule or based on due dates from their teacher. This session will cover teaching strategies to help differentiate student learning through CK-12's Adaptive Practice or customized assignments.
CK-12 integrates with many learning management systems and tools used in school systems today. Beyond single-sign-on with Clever and Classlink or simply sharing a URL, CK-12's content and resources are already integrated in different ways with Edmodo, Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, and Blackboard. This session will help you understand what resources are available from CK-12 and how you can access them from within, or share them to, each environment.
CK-12's Simulations and PLIX (Play. Learn. Interact. eXplore.) connect science and math to real world concepts in a dynamic and interactive way. With over 120 Physics and Chemistry simulations and 1100 math and science PLIX complete with interactive environments and associated questions students can learn through exploration both in and out of class. In this session, you will learn about accessing CK-12 interactives, the different components included, and strategies for incorporating them into your class.
Links to the archived videos for each webinar can be found here.

Take part in our discussions, ask questions, and share with others through the Jumpstart Forum on CK-12's Cafe and on social media.
When requested, for each live session you attend, you will receive CK-12 documentation of your participation that you can share with your school or district. When you attend seven live sessions and complete the associated assignments, you will earn status as a "CK-12 Certified Educator". You may miss one live session and still receive Certified Educator status by watching the archived video and completing the matching assignment.
We're here to help you as you learn more about CK-12 and the resources and tools we offer. Join CK-12 staff members online Fridays during this program to get individualized help. Check out our help desk for text and video tutorials on specific topics or email support@ck12.org with any questions.
For help with rescheduling or questions about this program, email jumpstart@ck12.org. If you want to attend an additional webinar, you may register for any new session on this page.

Good News Story:
Natasha had been working part-time in retail to support her young family when she came across the ad for the CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing Support. The availability of night sessions and access to government funding enabled her to complete the course without hindering her family life.
Throughout the course, Natasha discovered her passion for the nursing industry and is now using the course as a stepping stone into further studies. She believes this course has had a positive impact on her and her family's life. We are confident – with her can-do attitude and nurturing personality – she will gain employment through her work placement.
NatashaCommunity Services Student
Sara is near the end of completing her CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing Support which has peaked her passion and interest in the health and aged care industries. She anticipates working in these sectors will be very rewarding as throughout this course she has recognised the impact that carers can have on another person's health and wellbeing. Sara has found her trainer knowledgeable and enjoyed the topics covered.
Sara especially enjoyed her time spent at St George Aged Care Centre where she completed the practical component of her assist and administer medications competencies. She only has the work placement component of the course to complete which she feels very confident about. Enrolling into the course has spurred Sara on to enrol into a Bachelor of Nursing degree at Western Sydney University which she will be starting next year after she completes work placement! We're extremely proud of students who go above and beyond in their career life, and we know that we've made career development easy for Sara.
SarahCommunity Services Student
Michael recently undertook a CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing in Parramatta, and communicated to us that he gained so much more than he expected from the course and now work placement. Michael's passion for the industry stems from his Taiwanese upbringing. He was raised by his grandparents while his parents worked and as they grew older, he could see the challenges older people faced both mentally and physically. Michael said the standards for aged care aren't very high in Taiwan so when he moved to Australia and got the chance to study, he knew he wanted to do something in this rewarding industry.
Michael thoroughly enjoyed the learnings gained from the course and has developed a support network of like-minded people. He is now more determined to give a voice to those not able to communicate because of language barriers or debilitating diseases. Michael knows that his training has given him a great start in his chosen career and cannot wait to finish placement so that he can start looking for work.

Music has beneficial power physically and psychologically. Among Integrative Medicine (IM), music therapy (MT) has been useful, and authors have continued research for IM, MT, and piano-playing. Most pianists do not consider the movement of their fingers, because the memorized process is transformed into automatic action. The function may involve the neural signals from the superior parietal lobule to the primary motor area and dorsal premotor cortex, which is called the sensory-motor transformations. The supplementary motor area (SMA) in the frontal lobe seems to be involved in the function of beat-based timing, expression, and activity of musical behavior.
From a holistic point of view, Integrative Medicine (IM) has been developed worldwide [1]. Music has beneficial power to human beings physically and psychologically [2]. Authors and colleagues have managed various IM activities in the Shikoku Division of Integrative Medicine Japan (IMJ) and developed music therapy (MT) for years [3,4]. Several recent topics concerning MT, piano-playing, brain mechanism, and neuroimaging will be described in this article [5].
A comparative study using EEG was conducted among listening to neutral music, happy music, and control for 62 subjects [6]. As a result, happy music showed the efficacy of reducing anxiety and elevated functional connectivity of the right temporal lobe and occipital lobe. For brain research, the important condition requires three functions, correct sensory input, correct processing and determination, and output to the correct movement. Regarding this point, other cases with impaired dysfunction exist. For example, Parkinson's disease has involuntary movements, and cerebral palsy has both contractions of flexor and extensor muscles simultaneously. If dystonia movement in the hand may be found for a pianist, it is difficult to play the piano smoothly [7,8].
When playing various music on the piano, most pianists do not consider the movement of their fingers, in which the movements are almost reflexive [9]. The reason would be that the memorized process is transformed into an automatic action [10]. The function may involve the neural signals from the superior parietal lobule to the primary motor area (M1) and dorsal premotor cortex, which is called the sensory-motor transformations 11 (Fig-1). Furthermore, this mechanism also contributes to the situation where a pianist can play a new music piece smoothly that is encountered first time [12].
Fig-1: Various area for sensory-motor transformations in the brain function
During playing the piano, each movement of the fingers is a single action of raising, spreading, and pushing the keyboard down. However, this performance is integrated into a huge and complex movement along the time axis using 10 fingers [13]. Continuing independent operations in the correct order is called "series operation". This is to arrange a variety of actions in the correct order along the time axis [14]. Such function has been related to a certain area in the cerebrum. Its responsive area would be mainly the primary motor area (M1) and supplementary motor area (SMA, supplementary motor cortex) in the frontal lobe [15]. This area can contribute to the actual mechanism for complex and delicate movement for playing the piano. The function is thought to be stocking images of several actions together and executing the program in the correct order. SMA has been known as the crucial center for managing the planning of the program and performing the execution during playing the piano and listening to the music [16]. Music performance needs combined perspectives processing in visual, auditory, spatial, motor, and emotional domains. By integrating these multimodal factors, the SMA network may construct the internal expression of music performance.
As to the research of finger exercise, the changes in the excitability of M1 and SMA were investigated for 28 normal subjects [15]. The results showed the activity of increased M1 and decreased SMA. Consequently, it supposes the function of each of MA and SMA. In other words, rather strong exercise seems to give M1 protective efficacy and it gives opposite influence to SMA situated just adjacent to M1. SMA can work actively when starting new and complex movements, but on the other hand, it does not provide remarkable function when performing familiar movements one after another. Therefore, it is suggested that SMA contributes to the piano performance when the finger moves like never before in contact with a new music piece [16]. From the above, it is considered that SMA may have two functions. One is the start and control of complicated operations, and in particular, to build a program for what kind of operation is performed at adequate timing. The second is to switch the movement, which is considered to contribute to the creation of new complicated movements and procedures based on the memory conventionally already stored.
Several recent reports are found concerning the function of SMA. Regarding the research of neuroscientific field, investigations of musical creativity have brought the involved mechanisms of motor regions [17]. They include SMA, premotor cortex, posterior inferior frontal gyrus, which seem to be implicated for high level capacities concerning motor sequencing. As to regular rhythm in music, the presence of the background was studied for non-human primate. By maintaining the rhythm of visual metronome, neural activity of SMA was recorded. SMA showed regular rhythmic gamma band bursts (30-40Hz) suggesting the existence of internal tempo center [18]. Consequently, SMA may have a role of dynamic metronome for rhythm and clock for total time. Regarding the brain mechanism composing creative music, comparative study was conducted between musicians and non-musicians for measuring evoked activation by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) [19]. The results showed that musicians revealed larger activation of the SMA, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex. From these, SMA may play a role for the expression and activity of musical behavior. Music improvisation has been the complex creative behavior. Brain activity during improvisation was investigated using fMRI [20]. Compared with pre-learned certain melody for control piece, music improvisation showed stronger node activity in SMA, lateral premotor cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and Broca's area.
In summary, recent neuroimaging topics were introduced. Among them, SMA seems to be involved in the function of beat-based timing, expression and activity of musical behavior [21]. Research on music, MT, and piano performance from empirical, theoretical, and practical perspectives has been developed [22]. In the future, it will reduce people's mental stress and contribute to happiness of the people.

Ahern voted in for a record third term as Irish PM
AFP , DUBLIN
Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern was elected for a record third term in succession on Thursday thanks to a coalition with the Greens who are tasting power for the first time.
Ahern, one of Europe's longest-serving leaders having come to power in 1997, was given a standing ovation in the Dail (lower house of parliament) as he was voted in by 89 votes to 76, three weeks after the May 24 polls.
He takes power at the head of a three-party alliance which is supported by most of the independent lawmakers in the 166-seat chamber.
It marks a major personal triumph for Ahern, 55, the first Taoiseach (prime minister) to be chosen for three successive five-year terms.
The new coalition is led by Ahern's centrist pro-enterprise Fianna Fail party, once more with the right-of center Progressive Democrats (PDs), while the environmentalist Greens enter an Irish government for the first time.
"I welcome the opportunity to serve the people in the years ahead with colleagues from the Green Party and the Progressive Democrats with the support of others who see the merits of our program," he told lawmakers.
In a speech trumpeting the strong economic performance of Ireland, Ahern also said that peace in British-ruled Northern Ireland had dominated his last decade in power.
"There now exists between British and Irish, Nationalists and Unionists, an agreed consensus on our shared future. It is not an end of history but it is a new beginning," he said.
The secret wheeler-dealing in the three weeks since the poll has left Fianna Fail dominating a comfortable broad-based Dail working majority of 89.
Fianna Fail won 78 seats, but will be without former justice and sports minister John O'Donoghue who was elected on Thursday as Ceann Comhairle, the speaker of the country's 30th parliament since independence from Britain.
The Greens have six seats while the PDs have two.
The PDs had been the junior partner in two-party coalitions with Ahern since 1997. However, down from eight seats in the last parliament, that meant a two-way partnership between Fianna Fail and the PDs was not viable.
Four of the Dail's five independent lawmakers have pledged their support to the coalition.
Ahern, who has said he will retire at 60 just before the next general election due in mid-2012, later appointed two Green lawmakers and one PD as senior ministers in his 15-strong Cabinet.
His deputy prime minister (Tanaiste) is his Fianna Fail colleague -- and possible heir apparent -- Brian Cowen, who also will continue as finance minister.
Dermot Ahern, no relation of the PM, remains foreign minister.
The only new face in the line-up of Fianna Fail ministers is Brian Lenihan, who was promoted to minister for justice.


After a great morning highway cleanup yesterday, I enjoyed the most rewarding conditions at Kahana I can remember in a while. McStalker was up first, and he said he thought it was one of those days where we could fly above the clouds as they formed below us. He was right! I joined him at 2,900 feet above Puu Piei and from there I flew my best and highest scoring Kahana cross country flight ever, from Mokolii to the old Kahuku Point Airfield. Just shy of Kuilima Golf Course!
That airfield has a colorful history. It once extended from what is now Kuilima Golf Course down to Kahuku village. The short section of paved airstrip I landed on is at the Kuilima golf course end. The airfield was developed and used by the army in the 1940s before it was closed at the end of the decade. Then in the 1960s the airstrip became a popular spot for drag racing. Dorothy's mom and dad raced cars there as teenagers shortly after they met! In the 1970s there was also a nudist colony in that area.
I took a long and leisurely route to get there. I was lucky to get high early and get across the bay in the other direction first, and I'm sorry no one else was able to join me. I could hear the guys over the radio back at Kahana, and I could also hear Dave and Frank at Makapuu talking about the dolphins at Sea Life Park. I got super high everywhere, in nice mellow ridge lift. I reached 2,700 feet at Kualoa, and then tagged Mokolii at 2,200 feet. That's when Reaper called me from the helm of a boatload of kids just before they landed at Secret Beach. I flew over the State Farm Fair and then back to Kaaawa, where I got up to 2,900 feet before heading back to Kahana to see what the guys were up to.
It turns out Duck had given up on joining me, and had blazed a trail north to Hukilau. He called on the phone to say he needed a ride, but he'd wait if I was inclined to go that way. I was! I had visions of landing at Kahuku Golf Course like I did on Monday. I tried to get Thom to come, but he said he was already tired and he knew his limits. Hmmm. I was tired too, but I guess I don't know my limits! I got to about 2,800 feet above Puu Piei and waited out quite a few enormous cloud banks before finally turning left. Getting high was not going to be hard. Dodging these big grey battleships was the tricky part! Gaza turned downrange before I did, and he made a beeline for the Punaluu condos where he is staying. I finally had the opening in the clouds I wanted, and made that notorious left turn. Jim tagged along and I was glad for the company.
Jim and I worked the Punaluu ridge and dodged the clouds there, trying to get high safely to load up on ammunition for what is usually the longest glide of the flight. I was able to get just over 3,100 feet here, above most of the surrounding clouds, before heading out to the foot of the ridge and turning left again. I was set up for a nice outside line, which I always find gives me the best odds of making the golf course. I reached Pounders with about two grand, and there I was surprised to feel a nice thermal apparently baking off of the little bay there. I turned, and was rewarded with solid beeps. I kept turning, and even though I was now drifting into a deeper line, I was getting back up above cloudbase again, reaching around 2,500 feet behind Laie before turning back to my glide.
Now I definitely had more options. I hedged my bets and cut a line behind my usual golf course landing zone, keeping it within reach as a backup plan. But I was 1,200 feet high there. Probably not quite enough to hit the next one unless I took a very inside tailwind line to reach the entrance of Turtle Bay at the highway. I really didn't relish a windy landing that far inland. So I played it safe and continued along the coastal route, flying over the marshes of the wildlife preserve and aiming for the nice clear airstrip I could see in the distance. I made it there with just enough height to fly to the end and turn for a very windy touchdown. I was a long mile from the highway, and I trudged out of there along the old nudist camp road. Thanks to Duck and Jim for the pickup and cold refreshment!
After we got back to Kahana, we enjoyed a long debriefing session with many of the pilots who had flown all day in such great conditions. Thanks to Duck and Gaza for the refreshments. Roll call for the day: Five-0 Mike (and Ces), Jayson (and Natalie), Johnimo, Sandy, Thom, Woody, George, JK, Alex, McStalker, Sharky, Duck (and Ginger), Larry Mac, Hilo Ken, Gaza, Jim, Maui Kai, Solar Jeff, and probably a few more than I'm forgetting.
Wow! Great flight, Alex! Couldn't get more than 2500 ' and fell short on all the crossing attempts. Gotta learn to milk it up there and conserve it on glide better, I suppose. One day I'll figure it out... You're great for showing us all what can be done so we don't just settle for a mediocrity. Keep charging! One day you'll have a wingman landing with you.
The airstrip pic is awesome. Gotta be the first time ever landing your craft on an actual airstrip. The winds had to be strong down there. I used to joke about the turn left club but I am finding a lot of things I can learn for down wind legs. Lines to follow and proper bar pressure. I learn something new every time. I guess I just have to fly MORE!
Oh add Sebastian and Drew to the list that day. Sebastian got his first 2 flights. Drew is killing it and will be passing us soon. Congrats.
It' Time to Fly Get Your Gear and Go!!! Remember to turn left high and pick the best line.

We aim to provide the highest quality dental treatment to all members of the community, in a happy and relaxed environment that promotes well-being.
I emigrated from Vietnam in 1982 then studied at the University of Sydney. I began practicing dentistry in 1994 and founded the Glebe practice in 1999. Today, I am proud to have a very loyal patient base and a supportive team who share my vision. In my spare time I enjoy the arts, particularly the theatre. There was a time when I thought I'd make a great comedian. Choosing dentistry seemed like a good way to capture a silent audience!
I grew up in Woongoolba, south of Brisbane. My administrative career has included banking, travel and real estate in both Australia and Vanuatu. I was a patient of David's for some years before taking on the position of practice manager in 2008. I call on my diverse experience to maintain the high standards that David demands of his practice. I like to travel and in my spare time enjoy a weekly hit of tennis.
I graduated from Sydney University with Honours in 1981. After seven years of practice in Sydney I relocated to London where I established myself as a private practitioner for 16 years. I went on to practice in Paris and Seychelles before joining David in 2008. I strive for perfection in all aspects of dentistry, whether aesthetically based or generally restorative. Outside of work my interests include the arts, dance in particular, and travel.
I originally graduated with a Bachelor of Pharmacy, but with a passion for continuing education I later graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Dentistry to pursue this fulfilling career. I strive to provide treatment in a gentle and assuring way. I place utmost importance in making sure all patients are treated with absolute care and respect, particularly nervous patients and children. Outside of dentistry I enjoy participating in and also watching soccer and keeping fit.
I was born in the Philippines and employed there as an oncology nurse. I immigrated to Australia in 2013 to pursue new opportunities and meet people from different cultures. I am very grateful to be a member of David's practice and to work with a team who are passionate about dentistry and patient care. When I am not working I enjoy basketball, computer games, dancing and surfing.
I was born in Indonesia and raised in Malaysia. I came to Australia to study and graduated from the University of Sydney with a postgraduate degree in Agriculture in 2005. Before joining David's practice in 2009 I was employed as a travel consultant. I enjoy meeting new people, which is one of the reasons why I love working as a dental assistant. I am also very fond of spending time with children and animals.
We are continually building our team of committed professionals. Watch this space for more team members joining us in Glebe soon.
