The goal of Dare Islands is to goal the red boats into the red goal zone and the green boats into the green goal zone. The boats cannot be controlled directly, but the water currents can be changed by growing and removing islands. The left mouse button grows and and the right one removes it. If the boats hit land or enter the wrong goal zone, then a life is used.
The game requires .NET 3.5 Framework and some CPU speed. The code was done with F# and the Visual Studio 2008 Shell (with the F# plugin) as the IDE. The fluid simulation is a simple implementation of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM).
Sources are included in the main package. If the direct download link doesn't work, try downloading from the website.
Wow, that's an awesome idea, and a neat piece of technology. Definitely one of the more creative games around. I ended up funneling all traffic into one small area and selectively built/destroyed a "gate" island to deflect the boats depending on the color.
The mechanics are very cool, but the game doesn't have a lot of variety with time. Some variety in what you have to handle or check points to give a sense of accomplishment would've been nice.
The simplicity in this game makes it worth it to me. You did a great job at implementing a small project scope and making it work.
"Cool idea! 5 stars for innovation! :D"
Really, really cool! Needs some kind of balance for the gameplay. Great that you made an entire fluid simulation in a weekend.
Simple and fun. I believe it has a lot of potential to become a full game if you add some variety to the gameplay. Congratulations.
Needs some audio, though. I'd also like to see some refinement in island placement. THIS IS PRETTY COOL.
Nifty idea! Leaves a lot of strategy options. It'd be interesting to see this built into a full fledged game.
A bit slow to be fun, Good idea though.
For some reason the exe file didn't have any permissions which confused wine a bit.
A great idea, proved a little difficult, but wow, such an amazing idea and gameplay mechanic, very innovative!
Pretty fun, I liked it.

Two more wins in the bag for Juventus, but at a steep price in terms of injuries and suspensions. Similarly to the Lazio game, the squad performed very well defensively against Sassuolo and their high-wattage attack, shutting it down until the final minutes. Hopefully, and likely, it will become a trend at home. Then Cristiano Ronaldo did his thing and everybody could breathe a sigh of relief.
The first half an hour at Mestalla was arguably the best the team has played so far this season: fierce, focused, organized. We should have had a two-goal lead in the bag before that infamous red card. The victory arrived anyway thanks to Miralem Pjanic being a cold-blooded sharpshooter from the penalty spot and that sets us up well for the rest of the group stage.
On the other side, Douglas Costa snapped against Federico Di Francesco and earned a four-game suspension in Serie A and suffered a hamstring strain in Valencia, which will keep him out for the only game he can play in the next two weeks, against Young Boys, where we will not have the five-time Ballon D'or winner either. Federico Bernardeschi is playing so well on the right wing so far, but nothing has the ability to single-handedly change the course of the game like the Brazilian's lid-lifting speed.
We also lost Sami Khedira and Mattia De Sciglio to similar muscular ailments and Andrea Barzagli missed time with a calf ailment, but should be back soon. It is certainly less than ideal with the midweek round coming up and the crucial Napoli clash next Saturday. A combination of absences that significantly shorten our depth when it is needed the most.
Massimiliano Allegri will have to decide who to field constantly without risking too much, after all, we are still at the beginning of the season and not everybody can be in tip-top shape. It will likely be the two starting fullbacks, Joao Cancelo and Alex Sandro, who are now left with just Juan Cuadrado as their back-up, and Ronaldo, because he is an android.
We might see solutions that were quickly dispatched after the debut, like the Portugal star as centre-forward, because Mario Mandzukic can not possibly feature in every single minute, or 4-2-3-1, because with Emre Can sliding into the starting XI replacing his fellow compatriot, Rodrigo Bentancur is the only back-up remaining. An old friend like 3-5-2 could make a comeback. Even Moise Kean and highly-touted youngster Nicolò Fagioli could make an appearance.
We get a little help from the schedule since we are facing Frosinone and Bologna in the next two matches, but as always, a trap game is right there where you least expect it in Serie A and it would be important to get to the Napoli bout still with a lead.
The coach indicated Mario Mandzukic, Blaise Matuidi and Bernardeschi as the ones most in need of a breather, Leonardo Bonucci could be held out as well since he always played so far. One of the two attackers could be forced to play anyway: it would likely be Bernardeschi. It looks like the choice will be between 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 in this one. Paulo Dybala will start and might do it as centre-forward, then things will be fluid up front as always.
UPDATE: There are late conflicting reports about the line-up, while usually the semi-official one has already come out at this point on game day. It seems certain that one between Matuidi and Mandzukic will indeed play despite what was said in the presser, while Cuadrado might end up taking Bernardeschi's spot up front. Daniele Rugani, and not Medhi Benatia, might replace Leonardo Bonucci, who is set to rest.
4-3-3: Szczesny; Cuadrado, Benatia, Chiellini, Cancelo; Can, Pjanic, Bentancur; Bernardeschi, Dybala, Ronaldo.
Spinazzola (knee), Barzagli (calf), Khedira (thigh), Costa (thigh), De Sciglio (hamstring).
Frosinone so far have struggled to cope with Serie A and its difficulties. They lost badly to Atalanta and Sampdoria, conceding nine goals in two games, more narrowly to Lazio and tied nil-nil with Bologna. So far, they have been unable to score.
In the summer, they confirmed some of their core players, but understandably added several newcomers to prepare for the top league. Their main problem is that there was a reason why Marco Sportiello, Edoardo Goldaniga, Bartosz Salamon, Marco Capuano, Cristian Molinaro, Emil Hallfredsson and Stipe Perica had become fringe players and very expendable for their previous teams. Francesco Zampano, Lorenzo Crisetig, Francesco Cassata and obviously Joel Campbell were interesting additions, but probably not enough to salvage a transfer market window that was questionable at best.
Even though Serie A waits for nobody, some time to gel is acceptable, but ultimately they might lack quality in every position. They will have to either hope that their youngsters grow up quickly, one emerges as their leader to take the reins, or they will have to bring in some reinforcements in January to have a fighting chance at avoiding the drop. They were likely counting on the established Daniel Ciofani-Alessandro Dionisi duo to work in Serie A this time around, with then Campbell chipping in, but Dionisi tore his ACL early and will return in 2019, while Ciofani is still working his way back a severe hamstring tear he got operated on last Spring. So they do not have the full squad they planned at their disposal and will not for quite some time.
They use a 3-5-2, but as the stats clearly relay, they have been very vulnerable in the back, even when coach Moreno Longo re-inserted some players in the line-ups that were more familiar with his system like Nicolò Brighenti or Luka Krajnc. They give the ball away too quickly and are incapable of alleviating the pressure off the back-line, which is suspect to begin with.
Such a tactic usually relies on the wing game and they do as well, Zampano and Molinaro are okay when attacking, but Perica is not a big physical presence in the box and their midfielders are not deep cutters, so they have been unable to connect on most of their crosses. Another glaring issue has been their lack of dynamism in the midfield, which has simply looked outmatched in every outing so far. The coach has some options here, but he needs to figure out the best ones as soon as possible.
Beside Dionisi, also Mirko Gori and Luca Paganini are out long-term because of a shoulder injury and an ACL tear. Danilo Soddimo and Joaquin Ardaiz are questionable this week because of some minor muscular problems. Goldaniga might return to the XI, while Hallfredsson should beat Cassata, while Crisetig and Raffaele Maiello are neck-and-neck in the midfield. Camillo Ciano has been of the few capable of threatening the opposing goals with his free kicks and long-range shooting, but he might cede the starting job to Campbell. Ciofani could be ready for more minutes after a limited stint last week.
3-5-2: Sportiello; Goldaniga, Salamon, Capuano; Zampano, Chibsah, Crisetig, Hallfredsson, Molinaro; Perica, Campbell.
Dionisi (knee), Gori (shoulder), Paganini (knee), Ardaiz (thigh).


The upstairs room known as "The Military Room" pays homage to all those who've served. The artifacts and uniforms represent the War of 1812, the Civil War, the World Wars and even those who serve on a local level, our police officers. As you walk the perimeter of the room, you see photographs of those who once wore or used the items. As you read about the people, you get a deeper sense of their quiet sacrifices. The uniform is not the story, the specific war is not the story, it is all about the person who once wore that uniform.
This NY State Militia uniform was worn during the War of 1812. The man who wore it was a member of the Dragoons, which was mounted Infantry. The 1st Light Dragoons fought in the Battle of Sackett's Harbor. This battle took place on May 29, 1813. A British force swept across Lake Ontario and tried to capture the town by force. Sackett's Harbor was a principal dockyard and base for the American Navy on the lake.
More about the uniform and family who donated it.
The Military room is full of personal effects and souvenirs of war, like the Dragoon uniform and the collection of World War II guns donated by Roger Rumble.

Successfully completing a drug and alcohol rehab program and re-entering society as a sober individual does not come without its own unique challenges. Maybe your loved one is in rehab and you want to understand what he or she may be experiencing. Or maybe you're considering enrolling in a rehab program yourself, but your fears are holding you back.
Understanding some of the common challenges people face in addiction recovery may provide clearer insight into a life in recovery as well as the many ways our rehab program is designed to help you through those challenges. Here are some common personal issues you may face while completing a rehab program and how we can help.
Getting sober isn't just about not using drugs and alcohol anymore. It's also about establishing a new lifestyle that supports your recovery. A major part of this process is developing new coping strategies to manage stress and deal with anxiety and cravings.1 In rehab, as you learn to develop these coping strategies, you are establishing a new sense of normalcy, which is both challenging and time-consuming, but well worth the effort. Our counselors and therapists will work with you daily to identify harmful behaviors and help you learn how to modify them so you can thrive in sobriety.
Many people suffering from addiction use drugs and alcohol as a crutch to deal with trauma and shame. During drug rehab, people in recovery are challenged to deal with trauma and shame without the aid of these addictive substances, which can be very difficult. It requires a lot of effort, time, and bravery to confront these issues head-on and address the deep-seated issues that have contributed to your addiction. In working with counselors and therapists in rehab, you'll have many opportunities to do this and as a result, you'll experience rewarding personal growth.
According to SAMHSA, having relationships and social networks that provide love, support, friendship, and hope is an essential part of a life in recovery.2 In rehab, you'll be challenged to build new relationships with your peers in recovery as you learn how to communicate in a healthy way, trust others, and be vulnerable. While working the 12 steps, you'll also be asked to make amends with loved ones you hurt while you were actively abusing drugs and alcohol. The amends process can take weeks, months, or years and it's never easy, but it plays an important role in freeing you from your old life of addiction and embracing your new life in recovery.
During rehab, you'll likely follow a structured daily schedule of support group meetings, exercise, meals, personal reflection, and leisure time. After you complete rehab and return home, you may find yourself dealing with boredom, which can actually be a big threat to your sobriety. Previously, all of your free time was most likely spent using drugs and alcohol. Now, without those things in your life, you'll need to learn how to use your time in other ways, such as meditating, reading, playing sports, working, or taking up a new hobby. Enrolling in a sober living program after completing your drug rehab program can also provide a structure that will help you establish a new lifestyle in recovery and fill your free time with group activities, volunteer work, job hunting, and other essential life activities.
Relapsing is one of the biggest challenges many addicts in recovery face both during and after rehab. Cravings, stress, anxiety, and old acquaintances can all be potential threats when you're trying to stay sober. Fortunately, drug and alcohol rehab is designed to help you establish life skills, modify unhealthy behaviors, and develop a peer support system that will keep you firmly rooted in your sobriety. Even if you do have a lapse during or after rehab, you'll be able to lean on your support system of peers and mentors who will help you get back on track quickly.
After drug and alcohol rehab, many people find that they lack purpose in life. Adapting to a life that doesn't revolve around drug and alcohol abuse can be very difficult. One way drug and alcohol rehab helps addicts in recovery combat this issue is by introducing them to new hobbies and interests such as yoga, art, music, and meditation. These are all different aspects of behavioral therapy at Extra Mile Recovery Center, and they may help clients develop new hobbies, interests, and social groups both during and after rehab.
Making the transition from a life of addiction into an independent life of sobriety is another challenge you will face after rehab. After you leave the safety net of a rehab center like Extra Mile, you'll be awarded more personal freedoms but you'll also need to manage more responsibilities at home, find a job, fulfill financial obligations, put your new coping strategies into action, and much more. For many people in recovery, this transition can be extremely challenging and it may be tempting to give up and use again. If you're struggling to adapt to your new sober life after rehab, enrolling in a transitional living program is a great way to continue your addiction treatment maintain your sobriety. Sober living homes provide structure, accountability, peer support, employment and education assistance, and a sense of camaraderie that will all help you maintain your sobriety and flourish in your new lifestyle.
Clearly, addiction recovery isn't just a walk in the park. It comes with its own challenges and difficulties, but having a thorough, experienced, and compassionate team of addiction treatment experts on your side makes all the difference.
At Extra Mile Recovery, we truly care about our clients and we provide the necessary tools, behavioral therapies, and support systems to achieve a fulfilling life of sustained sobriety. Call Extra Mile Recovery to learn more about our individualized drug and alcohol rehab programs for men or to enroll today.

It's time for season 6! Breakups and reunions…
Yay, TV series hiatus time is over and many shows are well into their new seasons. I was recently browsing a gallery on Entertainment Weekly entitled "20 shows you're breaking up with" about which shows readers were… well it's in the title. Then I realised, I am totally breaking up with some shows this year, and I feel that its all been decided for me in the season premiers.
A number of juggernaut shows are hitting their 6th season this year and I found big differences in how two mainstay medical shows are aging. One is getting a bit tired and grasping for story lines and the other feels like we've only just begun to nick the surface. I have watched every episode of Grey's Anatomy and House, but I've always seen a House episode is an hour of well-crafted, intelligent TV that requires my full attention and Grey's as more of a watch-it-while-you-fold-laundry type show. After the season 6 premiers I feel pretty sure I've lost interest in Grey's Anatomy but find myself more intrigued by House than ever. Where it feels very obvious that Grey's Anatomy cooked up in a kitchen with many prodding cooks, House seems like it was written by one author, who thought very deliberately about the script.
After 2 bumpy seasons, sticking it out with Grey's Anatomy hardly seems worthwhile anymore. I was somewhat amped after the pretty brilliant and shocking season 5 finale. But since the publicity machine around the series ruined any plot unknowns there were no surprises in store with season 6. SPOILER ALERT Big non-surprise, George died, Izzie lived, people organised a funeral and, in the one moment that got me sniffly, parceled out his organs for donation. I've read that Izzie's laughing fit at the funeral was the perfect laugh-so-you-don't cry moment. But I found it bizarre and the dialogue only served to point out how overworked the plot has been lately ("George died! I got cancer! And you (Meredith) got married on post-it!"). Amongst everyone going through their own 7 Kubler-Ross stages of grief (real original underlying theme by the way), the Chief was comically sparring with Callie and trying to save face with the board. But on his way to his Big Important Meeting he finds himself (un)comically at rival Mercy West's door where it dawns on him that he should merge Seattle Grace with Mercy West. So that means a whole bunch of new characters and the diluting the screen time of the existing characters we would only love to see more of (how many more Georges have to be sidelined before sanity returns?). I know this was supposed to be the big shake up of the series but it was not handled in a way that made sense and I'm unmoved.
But there was something that makes up for all the multi-writer schlock and aaall the bad season premiers (hello Gossip Girl!). Something that restored my faith that there can be some truly great storytelling on TV. HOUSE, how constant and undisappointing you are, even when you did that weird reality show knock-off thing and sidelined the original beloved team in season 4 you were still totally watchable. So season 5 ended with House's mind playing dangerous tricks on him and he voluntarily admitted himself to a psych hospital. And that is just where we find him, fresh off Vicadin withdrawal and being generally belligerent and cruel to the other patients. The whole two hour premier is about House in the hospital – no cases, not Princeton Plainsbourough, just House, his crazy roomies and his therapists. I watched this episode during an airport layover, on a plane and, finally, when the jetlag ensured I was totally awake at 2am during which I had tears – lots of them!. It has a brilliant storyline and was like a great big reward for all viewers who have watched House be relentlessly awful and unchangeable for the past 5 seasons. After getting to know the character so well, you can anticipate his reactions to the hospital, but you will be floored by the way things actually go and come to not know what to expect at all. The casting of that Law and Order guy as House's therapist was genius, I found it totally believable that this guy might have the gravitas to get through to House and I'm excited that it seems like he will be around for more episodes.
withdrawal is a bitch

Greetings Cards Company Pays Price for Copyright Infringements
It is only right that those who make commercial use of others' creative ideas without permission should be hit hard in the pocket. Exactly that happened in a High Court case in which a greetings cards company was found to have serially infringed copyright in a designer's original works.
The designer had during her career created over 2,300 celebratory cards, many of them involving swatches of fabric decorated with beads, sequins and stitching. She had for a time licensed the company to produce a selection of her cards, but it had continued to do so without her authority after that agreement was terminated. It had also produced two cards that were infringing copies of her designs.
The designer's corporate vehicle, to which she had validly assigned her copyright in her creations, launched proceedings against the company. In upholding the claim, the Court rejected the company's argument that she had designed the cards in the course of her employment with another greetings cards business and had therefore never owned copyright in the works.
Although the company had divested itself of most of its assets, the Court found that its sole director and shareholder was jointly and severally liable for the acts of infringement. The ruling means that the designer's company is entitled either to damages or an account of profits generated by the sale of infringing cards. The amount of the award has yet to be assessed.

Virgin Active is a chain of health clubs in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Italy, Australia, Singapore, Thailand and the United Kingdom.

History

Virgin Active was founded in 1999. Their first club opened in Preston, Lancashire that year. Initially headquartered in  Milton Keynes, in 2013 headquarters were moved to the Barbican in London leaving a small call centre in Milton Keynes which closed in 2018.

In South Africa the company bought the assets of the 'Health and Racquet Club' chain after the latter's parent company, Leisurenet, had been placed in liquidation in October 2000  for 319.6 million South African Rand (approximately £24.5m as at November 2011). The South African company also runs Virgin Life Care.

In 2002, by which point the company had 350,000 members, Branson sold 55 percent of the company to Bridgepoint Capital for £40 million. In 2005, Branson bought out Bridgepoint's stake in the business for £134.5 million.

It subsequently expanded its operations in 2004 to Italy. By 2005 the company had 25 clubs in the UK, 77 clubs in South Africa and 12 clubs in Continental Europe.  It opened its first Australian club in Sydney in late 2008, with further clubs launch in Singapore and Thailand in 2014.

On 1 November 2006 it took over the UK-based operation of the more prestigious Holmes Place chain, thus increasing its UK chain of clubs from 24 to 72 overnight. On 26 April 2011 it announced the takeover of UK gym operator Esporta's 55 clubs increasing the UK business to 124 clubs.

In 2013, Virgin Active expanded into the South East Asian market, first opening a club in Singapore at the heart of the CBD. Located on Level 6, Tower 2, One Raffles Place. Playing a significant role in opening the first club in South East Asia was Christian Mason, the newly appointed 'Managing Director South East Asia'. Christian Mason then went on to opening 13 more clubs in both Singapore and Thailand.

The current Group CEO is founder Matthew Bucknall. In 2014 Virgin Active launched a new low-cost gym called Virgin Active RED. The RED gyms focuses on first timers who may be intimidated by training by strategically placing exercise equipment in different stages around the gym and further having touch screen computers and other technologies placed in these predefined area's teaching the user how to do the exercise correctly.

On 16 April 2015, it was reported that Virgin Group and their private equity backers had sold 80% of Virgin Active to the South African investment firm Brait, owned by the billionaire Christo Wiese. The sale price was £682 million for an 80% stake, valuing the business at £1.3 billion, including debt, and the transaction was completed in July 2015. The company will continue to operate under the Virgin Active brand.

In 2016 they began the sale of 35 clubs to Nuffield Health

In 2017 they completed a sale of 15 clubs to David Lloyd Leisure

Facing the impacts of Covid-19 and the closure of clubs in all territories during the government mandated lockdowns, in 2020 Virgin Active's revenue dropped to £224.7 million. The company began working with Allen & Overy as legal counsel and Deloitte as restructuring advisors, plus their lenders began working with Hogan Lovells and Alvarez & Marsal to help them through the restructuring process.

Controversy
In December 2015, the South African Competition Tribunal announced that it is investigating Virgin Active's South African operations  and the Discovery Group for contravening the Competition Act. The investigation continues.

Accidents and deaths

In March 2003, 32 year old City banker Katarzyna Woja stepped out of the lift at the Virgin Active (then Holmes Place) Broadgate Health Club in central London, when its cable snapped and the hydraulic cabin plunged downwards.
Woja became trapped between the cabin's mantel and the lift shaft and was dragged downwards, suffering horrific injuries. She died soon after. Although she was with seven other people in the lift, she was the only one injured in the accident, as she was the last one to step out of the lift. Following a lengthy investigation by health and safety experts Holmes Place (bought by Virgin Active) was charged with six breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act while the lift manufacturer ThyssenKrupp was charged with four breaches.

In December 2011 Virgin's flagship club in High Street Kensington was accused of covering up the death of model and city worker Elsa Carneau, who drowned in the swimming pool at the west London club. A fire crew and paramedics tried to revive the Imperial College graduate for almost an hour before she was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Westminster coroner's court heard that staff at the club administered CPR incorrectly and falsified paperwork relating to CCTV checks to pretend that they had been monitoring the pool in a "distasteful" attempt to cover their tracks. Firemen also described how a man, who said he was a member of staff, had stood by filming efforts to resuscitate Carneau on his mobile telephone. Pierre Carneau, the victim's father criticised Virgin active for not apologising for the accident. He stated "It was an accident waiting to happen. If things had been done properly, I think there's a chance our daughter may still be alive."  Virgin Active admitted health and safety breaches and was fined £100,000 at Southwark Crown Court in December 2013. An investigation found "serious shortcomings in the management of risks connected with swimming activity at the club" going back to 2009.

In April 2014, three gym goers were injured when a suspended ceiling collapsed on to a line of rowing machines at the Virgin Active on Chiswick High Road, in West London.

K-12 College and Career Readiness Standards: Transforming Postsecondary Planning
By Leann M. Morgan
The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model offers a framework for school counselors to provide students with tools to assess their current interests and form future goals (ASCA, 2012). The ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors encourage additional emphasis to be placed on how students perceive themselves in relation to others and how developing their interpersonal capabilities will lead to current and future academic and personal success (ASCA, 2014). With momentum gained through national movements such ASCA's statement on school counselors' responsibility for career and college planning (ASCA, 2013) and the First Lady's Reach Higher initiative (Waldo, 2015), college completion and career readiness has become the focus of many state education agencies and non-profit organizations throughout the U.S. Prior to this movement at the national level, several states had already begun the task of working systemically to improve career and college readiness programming in K-12 schools.
As a result, the Colorado College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards for School Counselors were developed in 2014 in response to the addition of ASCA's "Mindsets and Behaviors" as a compliment to the ASCA national model. The Colorado Department of Education consequently approved these standards to support every students' Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) as the "ICAP Quality Indicators," which now serve as a means by which to measure postsecondary program effectiveness. In addition to assisting with program evaluation, they also serve as a guide for school counselors in order to ensure every students' unique career and academic needs are met, especially in the emerging area of financial literacy.
A Developmental Framework
The eight quality indicators include working with students on their personal and social awareness first, before offering traditional career counseling interventions or programming. This model serves as a developmental framework for school counselors to utilize when beginning purposeful career conversations with students and parents alike. By acknowledging that these conversations may begin as early as Kindergarten, school counselors should provide classroom guidance lessons to assist students in discovering their basic likes and dislikes in areas such as outside play versus inside play, playing with things versus people, and traveling far from home versus staying home each day. Providing specific activities which allow students to explore and decide what they like (and do not like) to do and what they find interesting (or uninteresting) while in elementary school helps with more complex analysis of their world as they reach middle school. This process also assists counselors and teachers to better prepare students with transition planning as students move to high school. Indeed, the task of increasing the focus of school counseling programs on career and college readiness may prove challenging, due to the increase in testing responsibility some school counselors face as a result of the outdated "No Child Left Behind Act" (Schenck, Anctil, Smith, & Dahir, 2012), the current status of the "Every Student Succeeds Act" (ESSA) (U.S. Dept. of Education, 2015), and the challenge of teachers unwilling to relinquish instructional time in order for school counselors to provide career guidance (Zunker, 2012).
The exercise of streamlining students' preferences leads to more meaningful career-related conversations later in their academic career. It also provides consistency in career exploration and development, a transitional framework of sorts, as students work up to more complex workforce readiness necessities as they reach high school and are asked to make tough decisions about their postsecondary plans.
ICAP Quality Indicators
Self-Awareness: Understand how a student's unique interests, talents and aspirations play a role in decision-making and interpersonal relationships and how individual thoughts and feelings get students excited about life and learning.
Career Awareness: Know the difference between jobs, occupations and careers. Articulate a wide range of local regional, national and global career pathways and opportunities. Consider economic and cultural influences and the impact of stereotypes on career choice.
Postsecondary Aspirations: Participate in career exploration activities centered on students' passions, interests, dreams and visions of their future self and perceived options.
Postsecondary Options: Be aware of and participate in a variety of postsecondary and career opportunities. Use tools such as career clusters, personality assessments and learning style inventories to highlight individual strengths and capabilities.
Environmental Expectations: Consider how school, family, community, culture and world view might influence the students' career development and postsecondary plans.
Academic Planning: Apply the skills and knowledge necessary to map out and pass the academic courses required to achieve postsecondary goals.
Employability Skills: Define, develop and hone skills that increase the likelihood of becoming and remaining successfully employed and civically responsible citizens.
Financial Literacy: Recognize personal financial literacy and financial aid topics and vocabulary and know what options are available to pay for postsecondary options. Understand and articulate personal financial literacy concepts, the cost of postsecondary options and apply this awareness to the postsecondary career and academic planning process. (Morgan & Williams, 2014)
How Schools Utilize ICAPs
Denver Public School counselors have developed a community-based set of intervention strategies to engage students and parents in career exploration, development, and planning throughout the K-12 system. Samantha Haviland, Director of Counseling and Student Support Services for Denver Public Schools, views ICAPs as a framework for student success and encourages school counselors to think of the "Quality Indicators" as a step-by-step process for creating and delivering developmental postsecondary planning initiatives for every student. While the indicators were written by Colorado counselor educators, they may be adapted and utilized by school counselors across the U.S., as the issues addressed are not unique to students in just one state.
To see what's happening in Denver Public Schools, and explore the resources they use, please visit their website. For more postsecondary planning resources, visit the Colorado Community Colleges website , and the Colorado Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary and Workforce Pathways website.
The Role of School Counselors in Postsecondary Success
K-12 school counselors are in the best position to support students' career and postsecondary planning and create truly comprehensive career and postsecondary programs through curriculum that initially focuses on self-awareness and concludes with developing real-world financial literacy. As a result, students will be knowledgeable about who they are, what they like and dislike, what careers are available to them, and how those careers fit into their family life. In addition, purposeful academic planning, with students' aspirations in mind, will provide structure around necessary skill development and financial literacy for creating a solid postsecondary plan.
School counselors often look for resources at conferences, on the web, and from other districts within their state, but systemic change comes from finding a structure with research-based information to guide student success. The "Quality Indicators" may provide just such a resource, and be easily incorporated into any comprehensive school counseling program. Students' career and college readiness needs may be overlooked in traditional programs, but through purposeful programming and compassionate guidance, all students have a chance for career and life success beyond high school.

When courage prevails amazing things happen
November 5, 2011 by inavukic 12 Comments
It has been several months since Dr Esther Gitman's book "When Courage Prevailed – the Rescue and Survival of Jews in the Independent State of Croatia" was published by Paragon House Publishers.
This is a historical study based on documented facts with the emphasis on the ways Jews survived and were rescued in the Independent State of Croatia (1941 – 1945) by Croatians, among others, who put their own lives in great peril in order to help Jews.
This work by Esther Gitman is a testament to the fact that while many in Croatia during WWII sided with the Nazi regime in terrible persecution of Jews there were also many who opposed it and acted on their conscience, held onto courage, and saved many Jews.
This side of the Croatian truth has been suppressed from the worldwide media for a very long time, and only those who searched for it could find it in rare publications.
In June 2011 Pope Benedict XVI visited Croatia as the final stage before Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac is declared a Saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Alojzije (Aloysius) Stepinac was among those who risked life and liberty to ensure the survival of the innocent.
He waged his own wars on Communism, fascism and, most of all, the evils of Nazism. As communists held power in Yugoslavia after WWII ended in1945 they brought church leaders to trial, charged with collaboration with the Ustashe and complicity in their crimes.
Certainly the trial was in no way near the fair trials and due processes we know today in democratic societies guided by just laws.
Archbishop Stepinac was tried and convicted in 1946. He died in 1960 under house arrest having written thousands of letters defending the Church and denouncing Communism.
In June 2011 a documentary film "When Truth Prevails", written and directed by New York based journalist Jadranka Juresko-Kero, on Esther Gitman's work, was shown on Croatian television HRT. The film is produced by the Zagreb based company Interfilm and television station HRT.
Dr Esther Gitman
Dr Gitman embarked upon scientific research for her PhD dissertation in New York in 1999. She decided to dedicate her dissertation work exclusively to the courageous Croatians who had saved Jews in the Independent State of Croatia and to Stepinac.
She had never heard of Stepinac until her dissertation work took her to the Croatian national archives in Zagreb where she uncovered numerous mislaid boxes that contained tens of thousands of unprocessed documents that talk of his honourable activities during the war.
Esther Gitman was born to a Jewish family in Sarajevo from which she fled with her mother during 1941. She has been living in New York since 1972.
Sixty one years after fleeing Sarajevo Esther Gitman came to Zagreb in 2002 as an American scientist where, with the aid of the Fulbright Scholarship, she spent one year researching the theme of the rescue of Jews from the Independent State of Croatia.
She uncovered previously unknown historical documents that confirm Stepinac's perseverance in rescuing endangered Jews, especially during World War II.
Such research had previously been "forbidden" or politically unsuitable and "uninteresting" to all historians in the former Yugoslavia as well as for those in modern-day Croatia who had written about the Jewish Question during the WWII Independent State of Croatia.
Filmed in New York, Zagreb and Sarajevo, the film reconstructs the personal and scientific paths Esther Gitman walked to understand the truth about the rescued members of her people in the Independent State of Croatia.
Dr Gitman's message is that the rescue of the Jews in the Independent State of Croatia and the role played by Archbishop Stepinac deserve internationalisation so that the whole truth is known about the Croatian people who helped rescue the Jews during WWII. Dr Gitman does not mitigate the terrors and the crimes perpetrated by the Ustashi when the Independent State of Croatia held power. She emphasizes that there is always hope to conquer evil if there are good and decisive people who love a human being as a human being and not for his or her racial or religious belonging.
When courage prevails amazing things happen.
Truth prevails in spite of everything. Ina Vukic, Prof.(Zgb), B.A., M.A.Ps. (Syd)

Esther Gitman says:
Dear Ina,
My name is Esther Gitman and I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my book. I, |like most children who survived the Holocaust and remembered little, in my youth had no interest in listening to survivors' stories. Similarly, the survivors, who saw and experienced on their own flesh the atrocities, lacked the emotional strength to share their travails with others. It was only in the 1960s that serious research in this area commenced and the focus and the urgency were placed on naming the perpetrators and on identifying their brutalities and the carnage of the WWII era. Rescue in this scheme of things had the lowest priority.
It is not surprising that rescue was ignored , after all, out of the 39,500 pre-war Jewish population in Croatia and BiH|which comprised the Independent State of Croatia, Nezavisna Država Hrvatska in short NDH 9,500 survived, while 75 percent perished.
In my mid-50s, however, I was consumed by the desire to understand and find out, how and by whom I and others were rescued and why we survived, while many others perished?
My 2001 proposal to the Fulbright Committee began the seminal research on the rescue of Jews. It was possibly a brazen move on my part to even consider the possibility of efforts to rescue Jews in NDH, but I was greatly encouraged by my early findings that even in the darkest hours| in world history, there were bright sparks of light in NDH, thanks to those, like your father, who were determined to defy dictators such as Hitler, Mussolini and Pavelić and his Ustaše.
I've not found those individuals who helped my mother survive but I found that rescue was prevalent despite the difficulties experienced at every step of the way. It took a great courge to be a rescuer and it also took a great courge to be a survivors. To leave home and family behind and run towards the unknown was difficult but most those who escaped and accepted assistance survived. It is an honor to have you on my side. Please add a part of your article in the Amazon review section.
Thank you again and I hope to meet you,
Esther Gitman

As a person of Croatian descent, it is truly amazing to connect with people like yourself who pursue the truth and the bright parts in a dark history. That is what gives us courage and embeds bright sparks into a battered profile of a nation. Croatia in the Second World War had masses of good people who did not align with any of the two major side (Ustashi & Communists). These were the Home guards (Domobrani, about whom I intend to write) and ordinary citizens – their only pursuits were for Croatia, the nation of decent, hard working people who help others in need. Hundreds of thousand who fled Croatia after WWI and WWII have certainly proved that in Western countries where they and their descendants contribute much to the welbeing of the countries they reside in. It is such a distressing reality that this side of Croatian people has been largely suppressed. Ina Vukic
This is my second entry to this website. My objective is to correct a statement made in the above article "Croatian people whose courageous representatives were the only ones in Europe during World War II to openly oppose Hitler's racist laws." The research on the Holocaust is an ongoing process and thus the above statement is not and cannot be correct. However it can be stated that the Croatian citizens from all walks of life wrote petition letters requesting of the regime to release from Concentration Camps and detention centers their friends and neighbors. I found over 400 such letters each signed by as few as 5 to 187 and to the best of my knowledge such letters were not found in other courntries under Nazi occupation.
We cannot start making general statement that may lead people to believe that all the Croatians were righteous. The Ustashe (Croatian Fascists) were murders and many ordinary citizens were silent bystanders who were unable or unwilling to act on behalf of those who were shipped off to Jasenovac and other death camps.
I think that for the credibility of the above article Ms. Ina Vukic must remove the above mention statement because in many countries, even in Germany there were individuals that were openly opposed to racial laws.
Sincerly your,
Esther Gitman, Ph.D.
The comment is above.
Thank you Esther I shall correct the article.

old and I have been able to implement many tips and tricks into my own classroom that I have learned from all of you!
I live in upstate New York with my husband. We don't (yet) have any kids but we are kept busy with both of our families living in the next town over!
Living in NY we truly experience all 4 seasons and my hubby and I take advantage of all most of them! In the summer, we enjoy time by the pool and out in the sun. On a perfect weekend afternoon in the fall you would find us out in the back yard with a fire in the firepit, the Andy Grammar playlist on in the background and a cool beverage in hand. Winter? Our longest season? Well, I'm currently plugging my ears and shaking my head. I'm in denial that it is on the way!
Now, onto school life. I am a teacher in a 12:1:1 classroom. I know lingo changes from state to state so that means that our classroom can have up to 12 kiddies, 1 teacher and 1 teaching assistant. It is also a multi-aged classroom and I currently have 5 3rd grade students and 4 5th grade students. And no 4th grade students.
of scaffolding for my kiddos!
I enjoy the challenge that my classroom brings and go into work every single day with the mentality that I am going to do everything that I can to help my students feel confident in themselves as learners, to help them to love learning and to close the achievement gap between them and their peers!
This is my 6th year in the classroom. My first 4 years I taught in a 4th grade integrated co-teach classroom. When I moved to the 12:1:1 I didn't move far... next door, actually! I am so lucky to have my former teaching partner just a few feet away.
My favorite subject to teach would have to be a toss up between guided reading and math. It depends on the week, I guess! Guided reading is a consistent favorite because I love seeing the consistent growth from my students each and every day. I find math fun to teach because as much as learning math is a puzzle, I think teaching math is a puzzle too! For my students, the "gen ed. curriculum" and teaching strategies didn't work to reach them so I get to research and try different strategies to help each kiddo have their "ah-ha moment".
Ahh, my guided reading shelf of happiness!
If you came into my classroom on a typical day you would find kids working in stations. With 2 different grade levels and varying abilities within each of those groups, I teach almost everything in small groups! Typically I try to work with a group of 3 students or less. The others will be working on independent learning stations and centers, working with our TA on practicing previously taught skills, or on the computers playing a game which will allow them to practice a learned skill or listening to reading.
Even with a consistent structure, there are always "those days" in the classroom. Chocolate gets me through.
to promote student confidence, check. Foam magnets?
Honestly, when things get tough it's just another puzzle to solve. What can I do to help my students feel engaged, confident, and driven? If they aren't feeling this way, of course I will have behavior problems! Engaged, confident and driven students on the other hand are worker bees and will help the day to move quickly and smoothly!
My can't live without teaching resource would definitely be the district scope and sequence & the standards.
Am I the most boring teacher in history or what!? ! Really though, my kids come in with such varying needs but my end goal is to close the achievement gap and get them back with their peers! I horde scope & sequence guides from each grade level and, along with my Common Core app, I can create a plan to help any student get from where they are to where they need to be. If only these pesky tests would get out of my way and stop putting time constraints on me and my kids' progress!
This year, I hope to be a more collaborative blogger. I want to share, share, share, more of my in class activities (with photos!) and get out there and comment on all of the ideas that you are sharing with me!
If you are still with me in the longest post I have ever written... pop on over and check out my blog, Polka Dots & Teaching Tots!
Thank you for letting me be a part of the Budding Blogger Showcase!


We love Olaf around our home and can't wait for Disney's Frozen Fever Short Film that is coming to theaters with Cinderella!
It's about Anna's summer birthday party which reminded me about my daughter's Frozen in Summer themed birthday party we had this last summer.
I'm always behind on editing my kid's party photos to share on my blog. I have about a hundred Frozen birthday party photos to go through, but I did find a few of these adorable Olaf Marshmallow Pops to share now!
These cute Olaf marshmallow pops are simple to make and would be fun for a party or to get the kids excited for Anna's birthday in the new Disney Frozen film.
1. Cut a marshmallow in half to make it thinner. TIP: wet your scissors before cutting into the marshmallow so they won't stick.
2. Cut the marshmallow in the shape of Olaf's head. It's basically an elongated hexagon.
4. Cut a slice into the top of the marshmallow head. This is where the hair will need to go after you dip it into the candy. Test it out with a piece of your licorice to make sure it's a big enough slice.
5. Cut out a nose from the orange candy.
6. Use the left over marshmallow pieces to make his teeth.
7. Assemble everything so you have it ready as soon as you dip your marshmallow into the melted candy.
8. Now that you've got everything ready to assemble, microwave some candy in a deep glass container for about 30 seconds. Stir and heat again for another 30 seconds and stir until it's creamy. I only heat for 30 seconds at a time as to not burn the candy.
9. Stick your marshmallow Olaf shaped head to the underside of a spoon. You will have already cut one half of the marshmallow to make it thinner… that will attach just like a sticker to the spoon!
10. Dip Olaf's head into the melted candy. I like to use a tall glass so it all fits.
11. Gently tap the spoon on the side of your glass to make the candy smooth. Place on wax paper.
12. While the candy is not yet dry, gently place the eye balls and nose on the face.
14. Let the treats completely dry.
15. Draw his mouth and eye brows with a black edible marker. I also traced around the top of the eyes.
16. Stick on the marshmallow tooth! It should stick directly on the candy. If not, add some melted candy with a toothpick to use as glue.
I hope your Frozen fans enjoy this!

See the Matching Directive section in the directive guide.
Also in your friends.html template the expression should be

← Cook County Sheriff's eviction leads to drug bust!
Here's a common scenario: during a storm, rainwater seeps up through the floor of a garden apartment, crests at two inches and eventually subsides. Flooding seems to be a hot topic in northern Illinois this week. Even our firm has been "evicted" from our usual place of business in Chicago and we are running a "virtual office" thanks to this past weekend's floods. What is a tenant to do when there is a flood and what are the landlord's obligations in a flood situation?
First, landlords and tenants need to look at their lease to determine their rights and obligations with respect to a flood. A well crafted lease will contain a clause addressing situations involving fire, floods, or other casualties. If the lease is silent on the issue, a landlord generally has an obligation, within a reasonable time, to make repairs to the condition causing the flooding (sometimes there is no correctable condition, like in the event of a "100 year flood"). The landlord also has the obligation to repair or restore the rental property to the condition it was in at the start of the lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted (ie. replace or clean the carpet, drywall, baseboards, etc.). In doing so, a landlord should have the repair or replacement work done in a workmanlike fashion so that there are no residual side effects of the flooding such as mold.
What about the tenant's personal property? Again, the lease is the first place to look. Most leases will clarify that the landlord is not responsible for the tenant's possessions. Absent some form of negligence on the part of the landlord, the tenant will be responsible for the repair and replacement of the tenant's personal property. This exposure to damage is one of the best reasons for tenants, especially those in garden or first floor units, to get renter's insurance that includes appropriate coverage for events such as this past weekend's flooding in Chicago and the suburbs.
Please note, this is not a discussion of untenantability for cases involving severe flooding or where a property cannot be inhabited. Those rules are different.
