If you don't know where to start, just check out these nine exotic fruits that are loaded with health benefits and taste. From tiny tart salaks to giant jackfruit and everything in between, there is something for even the pickiest eaters in your family.
Horned Melons
Kiwano or horned melons are an extremely ugly fruit. according to The Health Journals: "It's got a face only a mother could love." But once you get past its strange looks – the inside is lime green and gelatinous – and dig in, the melon is sweet and full of health benefits. Horned melons are full of vitamins K A,C and E, potassium, iron, magnesium, antioxidants that protect against cellular damage, and are a fantastic source of hydration.
Originally from central and southern Africa, these melons are now grown in the US and other countries around the world. Horned melons are in season in the spring and early summer and you can add them to smoothies, use in a fruit salad, or in salsa.

Rose Apple

One of my favorite movies is It's A Wonderful Life. It's the tale of two worlds; one of the greedy Mr. Potter, who can never get enough power or money, and the other of the hard working Bailey family, who helps other average citizens make a better life for themselves and their families.
According to a July, 2015 study by The Pew Charitable Trusts, most Americans are struggling with some kind of debt. This is call to the American Congress, the US Senate, President Obama and all the Presidential candidates – as well as every corporate or financial C-Suite decision-maker who has had a hand in messing things up for the average worker bee and entrepreneur – to be get control over the Mr. Potter's in the country, who are systematically thwarting any chance for millions of folks to pay off their debts and make a better life for themselves.
But first, a little info about me, many other hard-working small business owners, job seekers, graduates and the underemployed.
If I lost you at "business networking platform", all you need to know is that an experienced businesswoman pursued an idea for a new business. Seeking funding for a new business is tough, whether you want to open a pizza parlor, a gift store or a marketing services firm. Each has startup and run costs, and bankers or other potential investors expect you to have "skin in the game," before they lend you anything.
If you're not personally wealthy, there are several ways to cobble together startup cash – most of which involve loans – or using credit cards. Many entrepreneurs use personal savings, credit cards and a variety of friends and family, SBA, and/or economic development loans, to fund their dream business.
Sometimes it works out – too many times the original idea may not fly. Many entrepreneurs pivot and try to make a go of another business or – if they are able – they take a part time or fulltime job, while still working as much as they can to make their own venture take off.
Many of these passionate business owners – who work incredibly long hours pursuing their dream – plough a significant amount of money back into their local economies, as well as fuel the bottom line for bigger brands, for things like fixtures, office supplies, networking events and trade association costs, miscellaneous marketing, hiring assorted vendors, Conferences, travel, meals, etc. Many are left with more debt than they have funds to pay off quickly. Which negatively affects their credit score. How do the credit card companies treat these folks, who may occasionally miss paying on time? They charge outrageous interest rates.
On a totally different front, millions of parents dutifully take out a bunch of different Parent Plus and other privately funded loans, etc., to help their children (supposedly) attain a better life by attending their dream college. I can only speak for my family, but even after running the numbers and having the hard conversations ('do you understand you may have THIS much debt when you graduate??') and going with the colleges that gave the best academic awards/packages, our three children collectively had over $130,000 of debt after graduating from Boston University, Bentley University and Stonehill College.
Add into the mix this Catch-22. Let's say Mary Bailey has a mortgage. She might even have a home equity loan. Ms. Bailey and her husband pay both mortgages on time, every month. Year, after year, after year, they have a spotless, prompt, on time payment record. Yet – the Bailey's cannot get approved for a refinance because they have a higher-than-average debt-to-income ratio. Wait, what? Upon refinancing, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey would be paying over $1300 LESS than what they currently pay out each month, which would allow them to pay down their other obligations faster.
4 Simple Economic Game Changers.
Here's how we can literally turn around the paycheck-to-paycheck, barely-getting-by scenario that so many hard working folks are dealing with – whether they're entrepreneurs, business owners, recent grads, temporarily out of work or otherwise underpaid people, who are living with too much debt because of the current system, where diverse companies and banks are allowed to charge outrageous fees and interest.
Roll back the maximum credit card interest rate that any bank or credit card company can charge a consumer to 8%. Penalize any credit card company or bank millions of dollars for charging consumers any more than 8% interest. With the current interest rates being as low as they are, the credit card companies and banks will still be raking in massive profits.
NO company should be allowed to charge a higher rate for their services, based on their client having a higher-than-average debt-to-income ratio.
MetLife sent a friend a letter that they are charging her family MORE for their house, car and umbrella insurance policies because they are in that boat. Did they have a few late payments over the course of a few years, due their circumstances – she was out of work for a few months, and her husband has not had a raise in 10 years? Yes. But even with cutting back on their expenses, they had occasional late payments (several days, or at most a few weeks late). Not months. So now MetLife is allowed to charge them MORE on all their policies?? This is insane.
Can many folks refinance to take advantage of the much lower interest rates right now? Nope. Because their debt-to-income ratio is too high. Even though refinancing would LOWER their monthly nut by hundreds or even a thousand dollars or more a month. Even though they have a spotless, on time payment record for both their primary and secondary (home equity) mortgages for 10, 15 or 20+ years – refinancing has been taken off the table. HUH?
Another struggling business owner I know got a letter from American Express this past week. They are RAISING his interest rates because – "your current APRs are lower than average APRs on similar cards in the marketplace for consumers with similar credit profiles." WHAT??!!??
So their 10.49% rate, which is already too high given the current interest rates, will now become 14.49%.
There is no other way to say this – the current "system" is legalized highway robbery.
Allow students or parents (whoever is more able to do so) to refinance all their college debt to the lowest rate possible; I propose 3.5%. Right now, a graduate cannot legally take over the payment of their own Parent Plus or other private loans, because they originally had to be signed or co-signed by their parent. If a new standard was established, the student could refinance, pay off their debt MUCH faster, and the parents would no longer have their child's college loan debt on their credit report. Nice.
Lastly – whether they have a higher debt-to-income ratio because of a failed or sluggish business, a job loss, no or lackluster raises, or a sub par job that does not pay as much as they should be making – allow all the George and Mary Bailey's of the world to refinance their primary and secondary home mortgages, so that they HAVE additional funds to pay off other debts, buy clothes for themselves or their kids, cover a car repair, patronize a local restaurant, etc., without using a credit card to do so.
Let's stop allowing the Potter-like corporations and banks to bilk people out of a securing a strong financial future sooner. By doing so, we'll jumpstart the economy for everyone – so it really CAN be a wonderful life for many more folks!

We're not lying: You are the last human; humanity is doomed.
The water rose by an unpredictable amount due to climate change. The Earth's surface froze over, and humans were forced to live underwater -- where they could still harvest energy and grow food -- changing how cities and districts looked. As resources began to dwindle in the year 2971, sub-aquatic spaceships were sent to a nearby wormhole to look for habitable planets. Things did not go as planned. And now the ship, Argo9, has returned thousands of years later in a time after humans have gone extinct.
It's up to you to determine whether the ruins of our species is a travesty or an inevitable conclusion as you explore the lush aquatic world and encounter deadly underwater monsters.

When parenting twice-exceptional kids, not everything needs to be fixed
By Robin Finn, The Washington Post July 17, 2015
"Twice exceptional" refers to children with advanced cognitive abilities (gifted) and significant learning or social-emotional deficits, such as ADHD, Asperger's syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My 12-year-old son looked me in the eye and said, "I'm sorry, Mom." He told me how badly he felt for overreacting — monopolizing the office staff, smacking his Rubik's Cube against the floor, making the school counselor call me to pick him up because of a headache. It wasn't the first time he'd gotten upset, nor was it the first time the school counselor had called. But the eye contact, the accountability and the eloquence with which he articulated his frustration caught me off guard.
"I hate being this way," he said, laying his head on his arm.
My son is twice exceptional or 2e. "Twice exceptional" refers to children with advanced cognitive abilities (gifted) and significant learning or social-emotional deficits, such as ADHD, Asperger's syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder (think: Temple Grandin, Albert Einstein, Alan Turing, to name a few famous examples).
This extremely uneven development — or asynchrony — can lead to deep frustration, stress, and emotional anguish for a child, and his parents. Imagine an 8-year-old who patiently explains the theory of relativity to a group of adults, yet storms off the soccer field in a fit because a teammate doesn't pass the ball. Anxiety, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, sensory issues and obsessive-compulsive disorder are common challenges for twice-exceptional kids.
The National Education Association wrote in "The Twice Exceptional Dilemma," a 30-page report issued in 2006, that "[Twice-exceptional students] represent a potential national resource whose future contributions to society are largely contingent upon offering them appropriate educational experiences. Without appropriate education and services, their discoveries, innovations, breakthroughs, leadership, and other gifts to American society go unrealized."
The toll on the self-esteem of any child who is different can be enormous. Twice-exceptional kids are easily misunderstood. Social/emotional issues, such as feelings of failure, worthlessness, anger, depression, and isolation are not uncommon among these kids. At parent-teacher conferences at my son's school, I repeatedly heard, "In my [blank] years of teaching, I've never had a kid like this." This translated into, I have no idea how to work with your child. When I'd ask the teacher what services were available, the answer was always the same: none they were aware of.
Contrary to film portrayals of many notable twice-exceptional people, my son was well aware of his differences. But no matter how he tried, he couldn't squeeze into "the box." I would have ripped the cardboard edges apart with my teeth if I could have. But I couldn't. As he got older, we discovered chess, strategy card games, and a specialized science program where his natural abilities made him feel "good" instead of "not good enough." We were also fortunate to find a middle school where his challenges were accommodated and the focus was on his strengths.
The day he wanted me to bring him medicine for a headache (15 minutes after I'd dropped him off), he was stuck on that solution so the suggestion of water and rest tipped him over the edge. When I got to school, he already knew where things went wrong. "I get into this spiral," he said, "and I can't get out of it." He laid his head on his arm. "Why can't I be like everybody else?"
There had been many times in the past 12 years when I'd wondered that, too. But with patience and education, I'd come to understand the extraordinarily bright and challenging person that is my son. He'd had a rough morning. I'd had rough mornings, too. Not everything is a problem that needs to be fixed. He isn't a problem that needs to be fixed. It had taken me a long time to get that. I wanted him to get that, too.
"I don't want you to be like everyone anyone else," I said, "You are perfectly yourself. You're doing the best you can. That's all any of us can do. And that is enough."
He lifted his head off his arm, looked me in the eye, and smiled. "Thanks, Mom."

¿Cómo funciona la estrategia reclamar y suspender para los beneficios de la pareja?
In English | Mi esposo y yo hemos trabajado. Ambos estamos por cumplir 66 años; mi cumpleaños es unos meses antes que el suyo. Me comentaron que existe una estrategia de "reclamar y suspender" (claim and suspend) que nos permitirá maximizar nuestros beneficios a largo plazo. ¿Cómo funciona?
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 changed the file-and-suspend rules. A spouse will not be able to collect benefits on the record of a worker who submits a request for suspension after April 29, 2016. In addition, if you were born after January 1, 1954, you cannot file a restricted application for spouse's benefits, even if you are full retirement age.
However, you can use the "file-and-suspend" strategy coupled with "claim now, claim more later" if you are age 66 before May 2016 and your spouse is age 62 before January 2, 2016.
If you reach age 66 before May 2016, you need to file for Social Security and suspend your benefits before April 30, 2016.
If you do this, your future benefits will increase about 8 percent for each year you wait. For example, waiting four years until 70 (when the annual increases top out) would mean that a $1,000-a-month benefit would rise to $1,320. Meanwhile, if your spouse was born before January 2, 1954, when they reach their full retirement age, they can file a restricted application for a spousal benefit based on your work record, because you've filed. At full retirement age, they will get 50 percent of what your basic payment would have been. When they reach 70, they can file for retirement benefits on their own record. Like yours, they will have increased over what they would have been at 66.


You know what they say, look good on the outside, feel good on the inside. The smallest sentiment can go far when it comes to dating and choosing what to wear. It's cause and effect—when you look good, you feel great, thereby projecting positive vibes all night long. So, whether it's a first date, fifth date or the hundredth date with your long-term significant other, here are six outfit ideas that will have you excited to show off your style wizardry on three different types of dates.
Read on to see what outfits fit both your style and the occasion.
If you like testing the waters with the greatest hits of the season mixed in with your trusty closet staples, a reservation at the latest hotspot is the time and place to show off your merging skills. By building your look around a luxe jacket such as a bold suede bomber, you won't need a lot of other flair. A few solid layers (that fit impeccably) up top paired with suit slacks and sleek boots let your outerwear hero piece shine while reinforcing your sartorial skill set—your date will definitely notice.
When combining three wardrobe workhorses, you're essentially creating a winner's circle. Get more mileage out of a 9-to-5 blazer by taking it for a spin at night. It'll seem as if you put in the extra effort (because you did), especially when you wear a collared shirt underneath. To make sure your look reads more off-duty than office-ready, embrace a printed button-down and finish off the look with nightlife staples: slim black jeans and black boots.
It's daytime, so your outfit will be seen—every part of it—but you got this. Start by taking your normal Saturday look up a notch. A plaid shirt goes a long way; a flannel option goes even further if it's cold and outdoor seating is the only option. Experiment with colorful chinos, but keep the color in the soft zone—nothing you're wearing should be too loud. You could go the sneakers route, but why not raise the bar with a pair of oxfords? You just may be the best-dressed person in the place.
Since you're heading out on the early side (possibly after work), your best bet is to rely on the classics. A sweater and jeans combo wins every time, and if you choose carefully, they might even fit into your office dress code—so you don't have to change at all. Even if you only end up wearing it for half the night, you still want your last piece to count, so choose wisely. A well-made peacoat fits the bill perfectly, plus it has a cool backstory in case you need a conversation starter.
You're probably thinking that this is a no brainer—just throw on the usual suspects: a t-shirt and jeans. However, this is actually the time to step up your style game. We're not suggesting a suit (you don't want to be overdressed), but instead, take your closet's heavy hitters out for a spin. Try this go-to outfit equation: blazer, sweater, dress shirt, chinos, oxfords. You already appreciate how these pieces look on you, and now, your date will too.
Time to hit the couch to binge-watch some rom coms (date's choice, of course). This look strikes a fine balance of being comfortable without looking like it's laundry day. Enter the altheisure movement. A t-shirt paired with some type of jogger pant or chino is a relaxed look, but without the frump. Slip on your favorite kicks and add a jacket that's minimal but not boring as the finale.
There you have it—six date-approved looks. All you have to do is ask your Stylist to keep you looking sharp, wherever you go.

Irish schools require children to respect Vatican codes of conduct that discriminate against gay people
Author Teach Dont Preach Published December 3, 2018 Comments 0
The Irish Times reports that Pope Francis is concerned about what he describes as the "serious issue" of homosexuality and that being gay is a "fashion" to which the clergy is susceptible. He has said that "gay people should not be accepted into ministry".
It is nothing new that the Catholic Church objects to homosexuality and that its 'codes of conduct' forbid same-sex marriage and teaches that homosexual acts are sinful. Gay men and those who support "gay culture" are barred from holy orders.
In 2015 the Irish people changed the Constitution to permit same-sex marriage, so you could be forgiven for thinking that you can just ignore what Pope Francis had said about the sexuality of your friends or the people that you love.
Unfortunately, it is not that easy as the Irish education system teaches children that they must respect and demonstrate respect for 'codes of conduct' that influence the way people live in a range of belief traditions.
This, of course, includes respecting codes of conduct arising from the beliefs of the Catholic Church on homosexuality.
Schools curtail the right to opt out of religion classes
The Irish Constitution obliges the State to respect and honour religion, but it doesn't say that all children should be taught to respect and honour codes of conduct arising from religion. It recognises the inalienable rights of parents and it guarantees the right to opt out of religion classes.
But this right to opt out is curtailed by schools. Some schools use coercion and others force students to take these courses. The Department of Education and the NCCA enable this abuse of rights by claiming that these courses are suitable for all and that there is no need for anyone to opt out.
These courses undermine pluralism and the rights of parents and their children. In 2018 parents are still left in a position that they must fight for their rights and the rights of their children in the education system.
Right to Freedom of Conscience, Religion and Belief
The right to Freedom of Conscience, Religion and Belief belongs to people, not to their beliefs.
There are irreconcilable differences between religions, between religions and beliefs, and between religions and non-religious philosophical convictions. Recognising and respecting those differences is pluralism.
Having learning outcomes that teach children to respect and demonstrate respect for religious beliefs undermines pluralism. It also undermines the right of parents to ensure that the teaching of their children is in conformity with their convictions.
The former UN Rapporteur on Freedom of Religions and Belief, Heiner Bielefeld stated that:
"Rights holders are human beings who may exercise these freedoms as individuals and in community with others. While this may sound like a truism in the context of human rights in general, the right to freedom of religion or belief has sometimes been misperceived as protecting religions or belief systems in themselves.
This misperception is the source of much confusion, as it obfuscates the nature of freedom of religion or belief as an empowering right. Ignoring that may lead to the wrong assumption of an antagonism between freedom of religion or belief and freedom of expression.
Thus, it may warrant highlighting that freedom of religion or belief protects believers rather than religions or beliefs." HeinerBielefeldForb G1529111
NCCA curriculum courses that undermine pluralism
In 2019 the Department of Education is introducing a new specification for Religious Education at second level that teaches children:
"to develop knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and values to enable young people to come to an understanding of religion and its relevance to life, relationships, society and the wider world.
It aims to develop the students' ability to examine questions of meaning, purpose and relationships, to help students understand, respect and appreciate people's expression of beliefs, and to facilitate dialogue and reflection on the diversity of beliefs and values that inform responsible decision-making and ways of living."
At primary level, the Department of Education through the GMGY course in Community National Schools will teach children to respect and demonstrate an understanding of, and respect for, the codes of conduct that influence the way people live in a range of belief traditions. One of the purposes of the Goodness Me, Goodness Course in Community National Schools is to promote Religiosity. FOIGMGYReligiosityAppendix4
Both these courses were developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, who have been instrumental in ensuring that the option of picking another subject if students opted out of Religious Education at second level was scrapped.
Despite the enormous changes in Ireland, and the push for separation of church and State, the Department of Education through the NCCA has developed curriculum courses that teach children to respect beliefs and codes of conduct that influence the way people live.
Many people disagree on conscientious grounds with those beliefs and codes of conduct. Learning outcomes that expect children to respect those beliefs breach human rights and undermines pluralism.

Though she bitched about beige, Barbara Parkins certainly had her moment to shine when her character's discovery and transformation into Gillian Cosmestics new "Gillian Girl" is covered in a two minute montage of the actress (though a few I'm not sure it's her) in approximately sixteen different outfits accompanied by a lush Andre Previn instrumental score. The link below should cue up to where it begins in the film.
Travilla's notation on the sketch changes the color of the bow to yellow, shown in the montage below. I'm pretty sure this is NOT Parkins, but one of Travilla's house models.
An entire outfit designed and they use a headshot!
Interestingly enough, the jeweled headpiece and dress worn by Parkins in the far left shot is a costume Travilla designed for Anne Jackson to wear in "The Secret Life of an American Wife" as shown in the sketch below. Quite Audrey Hepburn in the last shot I must say.
Mistakenly being sold as from "Valley of the Dolls" due to the image from the film and mis-identified as Sharon Tate most probably from this photograph which was taken during one or more photo shoots. Tate tried on this and two of Hayward's costumes which are posted in the Garland entry.
Sold at auction for $2000.
Same fabric used in Garland sketch.
Mis-identified and sold as Lee Grant but is actually Barbara Parkins.
The first, third and fourth outfits from above sketches.
Labeled "Julie" but definitely from "VOD".
Dress on display in Palm Springs 2009. Beading makes it too heavy to display on a mannequin for very long as it stretches the delicate under-fabric.
Unused outfit and shot from filming.
Enlarged version of sketchs on desk in front of Travilla.

One of the joys of an all inclusive holiday is that of pure relaxation, knowing that there are no hidden costs, allowing you to lie back and enjoy your luxury surroundings. Increasingly, our clients enjoy the comfort of knowing in advance what their holiday entails– hence the attraction of an 'All Inclusive' package. What does it include? All inclusive packages vary depending on resort and destination. For example, some include premium wine and spirits, while others offer only the local alternative. Some will have time restrictions e.g. the bar service is only 'All Inclusive' until 12:00am, whilst others will not. In some resorts activities may be included in the package too, such as yoga classes, windsurfing, kayaking, small catamaran, tennis and unlimited access to a golf driving range. Whilst many resorts offer flexible dining options, such as a ''dine around scheme', it is worth noting that some packages only allow dining in the hotel's main restaurants. If All Inclusive is an option you would like to consider then we will be happy to confirm what your resort package includes so that you can make a fully informed decision. We guarantee that there won't be any hidden exclusions once we've confirmed your 'All Inclusive' holiday package deal. Nearly all destinations now offer an 'All Inclusive' option, whether you're planning a family holiday to Europe, or a long haul holiday to the Caribbean, Far East, Indian Ocean or the USA. Once you've decided on your destination and resort, we can confirm what 'All Inclusive' packages are available. Contact a member of our team for more information.
An all inclusive holiday gives you the ultimate relaxation experience, and this relaxation is continued in your choice of accommodation.


It's like what Mike said. Asheville is just higher in elevation. The dew point was very low last night too. That area has extreme fog problems. When I was 14 there was a massive pileup that killed a lot of people in December one year. Sometimes that place is a victim of cold air drainage. But yes, it's still unusual for it to be colder than Asheville and usually isn't most nights.

Light-Novel-Reihe To Aru Majutsu no Index aufbaut. Sie wird seit Mai 2007 innerhalb des japanischen Magazins Dengeki Daioh veröffentlicht. Im Jahr 2009 wurde sie von J.C.Staff als Anime-Fernsehserie und im Oktober 2010 als OVA adaptiert.

Handlung
Die Handlung von To Aru Kagaku no Railgun stellt einen Ausschnitt aus der Welt von To Aru Majutsu no Index dar, der sich besonders auf die vier weiblichen Charaktere Mikoto Misaka, Kuroko Shirai, Kazari Uiharu und Ruiko Saten konzentriert. Von diesen steht Mikoto im Mittelpunkt der Ereignisse. Ihre spezielle Fähigkeit, metallische Objekte mit elektromagnetischer Kraft stark zu beschleunigen (Railgun), war namensgebend für die Reihe. Begleitet wird sie fast immer von ihrer Zimmerkameradin Kuroko, die in sie verliebt ist und sie als "große Schwester" bezeichnet.

Zusammen mit ihren beiden Schulfreundinnen untersuchen sie im ersten Abschnitt der Handlung eine mysteriöse Droge, welche nach der Einnahme die psychischen Fähigkeiten für kurze Zeit enorm ansteigen lässt. Dies ist zugleich eine Referenz auf Ereignisse der ersten Light Novel von To Aru Majutsu no Index, in der dieser Vorfall kurz als Level Upper erwähnt wird. Sie versuchen den Dealer dieser Drogen aufzuhalten, nachdem ihr Anliegen durch eine im Koma liegende Freundin auch persönlich wurde.

Entstehung und Veröffentlichungen
Die Manga-Reihe wurde von Motoi Fuyukawa gezeichnet. Seit Mai 2007 wird sie innerhalb des japanischen Magazins Dengeki Daioh veröffentlicht.

Meet Heather Repenning: An Everyday LAUSD Working Mom Running for School Board in District 5
by Roxann Nazario
Even though I have been covering this election for almost a year now, it seems as if it's quickly coming to a close. Election day is May 14th! If you live in Board District 5, I hope you plan to go out and vote in this important election. After attending several Board District 5 forums and events, I wanted to sit down with Heather Repenning and talk about the real issues BD 5 is facing and what ideas she has for much needed improvements.
Q: What is your main reason why you want to be the next Board Member for BD5? What are the three main things you are going to work on for the betterment of all students in our community?
(From Erika Martinez-Parent at Alliance Collins HS in Huntington Park & Aspire Titan)
Heather: "My main reason is I don't think we're doing well enough by our kids. I think that we owe them much better than what we are doing. And I don't believe we are doing that universally or in a comprehensive way now. One program I would like to create is to help incentivize our best teachers, principles, and school, staff to go and work in our most struggling schools."
Q: How would you propose to do that?
Heather: "Well I think it's a matter of money, different types of benefits, and working with the union to put together a package. This would be on a voluntary basis because we need you. I don't think it means agreeing to go to a certain school permanently. I think it's a question of "can you come here for a couple years to share your gifts? And I think some would sign up to do that. I think when you're running a large organization you want to put your best people on the toughest problems. Big challenge over here, I want my best people on it.
The other very specific idea I have that relates to the larger conversation of the state is early education. With the Governor really wanting to double down on early childhood education, I want LAUSD to get a big piece of that. When it comes to the achievement gap, I think that allowing many more kids to have affordable or free quality early education is going to make it much easier for them, their families, and for LAUSD schools and staff. A really strong start is something that I believe we should be able to offer them. And I think it's a very powerful way, as well, to address English language learners.
College access and college readiness is a focus right now, as we are all watching in horror but not really surprised, as we understand the ways in which our system is rigged and that there are these side doors. But we can help. Obviously, it has to be addressed by those systems, by college admissions folks it needs to be addressed, but we can actually level the playing field for our kids. If we start with some of the basic tools that should be available to high school students; standardized test preparation, assistance in applying, real access to guidance counselors, and helping with applying for financial aid."
Heather also wants to offer more support to students with special needs. She acknowledged that, "There just aren't the services there that we have in other parts of the city. They feel very isolated. I think it's partly about access to services and the overall process. I'm going to be working on a Bill of Rights for Special Ed families and students. The bottom line is we need to educate all of our kids, we need to support all of our kids. Let's stop fighting families."
Q: How do you plan to bring parents to the table and give them a real voice, if you're elected to the board?
Heather: "First of all, I think the level of parent engagement is a huge indicator as to the success of a school. And I think having parents involved and obviously volunteering, supporting, raising money is all good, but also asking questions. I'm a huge believer in inclusion & engagement. Whatever you're working on, whether it's things I've done in the past, like, designing a new park, creating a policy around a clean water program, the more you involve people earlier on, it takes more work, but what you get at the end is always better.
I think there are two separate topics for parent involvement. One is governance, and how the school district functions, how decisions get made, all the way down to the local schools and who is making the decisions at the schools. And that's very very important for parents to understand. To understand the different levers to use, to push back, to speak out. And then there's the other issue of engaging parents in the academic life of their students. That's usually not front and center of the conversation of parent involvement. But it's very important to me because my main interest in running is I want our student achievement to improve. To me, a big part of that is the ability of parents to be aware of the curriculum, to be aware of what students are learning, how their days are structured, what are the classes they're taking, what are the type of tests they're taking, what are the expectations, so that they actually help prepare them.
The Partnership for LA Schools has something called the Parent college, which has long been an area of interest to me. It's a curriculum, it's something that takes place over a series of Saturdays, it's really like a bootcamp on how everything works. Like how does the government work? Helping people understand to how organize in their community. I think that type of intensive training is something I would want to look at."
Q: I've heard you say that you think all schools should offer free homework help and/or tutoring and that you think it is something we can quickly do to have an impact on student success. How do you plan to help parents with this challenge in District 5?
Heather: "I want to make homework assistance and academic support available after school. I don't want the learning to stop when the bell rings. What I want to put in place at every school, is tutoring, which would be something that parents could come into, to be part of the tutoring session. So that they could take something away back home."
After spending time with Heather, I learned that she has some amazing ideas to help improve outcomes for BD 5 students. I think this is mainly because she is a working parent with a child in the district, and she truly understands the challenges that students and parents are currently facing. This is why I believe that she is the best candidate to represent Board District 5.

Before ALDRICH, Chief Judge, and BREITENSTEIN, Senior Circuit Judge,* and COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
Appellant was convicted in a jurywaived trial of refusing to comply with his draft board's order to report for induction, in violation of 50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 462. His major contention is that his refusal to be inducted was not wilful, since he alleges that he reasonably believed, under the law of this circuit prior to Ehlert v. United States, 402 U.S. 99, 91 S. Ct. 1319, 28 L. Ed. 2d 625 (1971), that his local board acted illegally in refusing to reopen his classification to consider his post-induction order claim for conscientious objector status.
On June 25, 1970, appellant was ordered to report for induction on July 7; on July 1, he requested a conscientious objector form (SSS Form 150) and, his induction order being postponed, completed and returned it on July 22. He was given a hearing on July 29. The local board, finding that "there has been no change in [appellant's] status as a result of circumstances over which he had no control", declined to reopen his 1-A classification and ordered him to report for induction on August 6. Appellant duly reported but refused induction.
Appellant argues that the board's refusal to reopen his classification was expressed in an ambiguous statement, which could be construed either as a finding that his status had not changed or that, if it had changed, the circumstances had not been beyond his control. In the latter circumstance, appellant contends, the local board, in deeming itself without power to reopen, would have acted contrary to the law of our circuit at the time. We had earlier observed in United States v. Stoppelman, 1 Cir., 406 F.2d 127, 131 n. 7, cert. denied, 395 U.S. 981, 89 S. Ct. 2141, 23 L. Ed. 2d 769 (1969), that "we envisage the possibility of [a registrant's] carrying this burden [of proving sincerity, timing, and lack of control over a belated change of belief] and are persuaded by the reasoning of the Second Circuit in United States v. Gearey, 368 F.2d 144 (1966). * * *"
The then existing conflict among the circuits on the issue whether a post-induction claim of C.O. status could be "circumstances over which the registrant had no control" was, of course, settled by Ehlert v. United States, supra, which held that such late-blooming claims could not be considered by draft boards. Appellant contends, however, that the decision in Ehlert, handed down on April 21, 1971, cannot retroactively render illegal his prior refusal to submit to induction. He says, more specifically, that he did not "knowingly" fail to report for induction, in violation of 50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 462(a), since, to quote his brief, he "was reasonable in believing that the board's refusal to reopen his classification, and hence its subsequent cancellation of his induction order postponement and the renewal of the July 7 order to report for induction was contrary to law and hence the law did not require that the order be obeyed."
Appellant relies on United States v. Murdock, 290 U.S. 389, 54 S. Ct. 223, 78 L. Ed. 381 (1933), to which we devoted considerable attention in United States v. Boardman, 419 F.2d 110, 114-115 (1969), cert. denied, 397 U.S. 991, 90 S. Ct. 1124, 25 L. Ed. 2d 398 (1970). Without conceding that a refusal to submit to induction can be equated with a misunderstanding of complex revenue regulations, we think that appellant's Murdock argument misfires. The issue in Murdock was whether a charge should have been given to the jury that it could consider whether the respondent-taxpayer in that case was so unreasonable in invoking his Fifth Amendment privilege against incriminating himself in a possible state prosecution as the basis for his refusal to supply tax information as to exhibit bad faith and establish wilful wrong-doing. The Court held that, since Murdock had testified to a "bona fide misunderstanding" regarding his legal obligations, he had a right to have the question of absence of evil motive submitted to the jury. 290 U.S. at 396, 54 S. Ct. 223. Appellant here, however, offered no testimony in the district court showing that as of the time he declined to submit to induction, he believed that the local board's refusal to reopen his classification was illegal. The only defense evidence was documentary and this affirmatively indicated that no such reliance on procedural regularity played a part in his refusal to submit to induction.1
More to the point, arguably, is James v. United States, 366 U.S. 213, 81 S. Ct. 1052, 6 L. Ed. 2d 246 (1961). In that case the Court took the step of overruling Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Wilcox, 327 U.S. 404, 66 S. Ct. 546, 90 L. Ed. 752 (1946), which had held that embezzled money was not taxable income. Though seriously eroded by Rutkin v. United States, 343 U.S. 130, 72 S. Ct. 571, 96 L. Ed. 833 (1952), which held that extorted money was taxable income, Wilcox was specifically left standing as law on its facts. Recognizing that taxpayers might have relied on Wilcox and that the government could not have proven wilfulness in a criminal prosecution for failing to report embezzled funds in gross income "so long as the statute contained the gloss placed upon it by Wilcox at the time the alleged crime was committed", the Court reversed the respondent's conviction and ordered the indictment dismissed.
The majority of the Court apparently felt that a retrial as to wilfulness would be a charade since the taxpayer's obvious defense would continue to be, as it had been, United States v. James, 273 F.2d 5 (7th Cir. 1959), the entirely reasonable reliance on Wilcox as having stated the final national law on the taxability of embezzled funds. In the case before us, appellant is seizing upon astute counsel's afterthought to elevate our dictum in United States v. Stoppelman, supra,2 as to which there is no showing of knowledge or reliance at the induction date, into a vested interest-at a time when not only were the circuits in widespread disagreement, but the Supreme Court itself had granted certiorari in Ehlert v. United States, 422 F.2d 332 (9th Cir. 1970), cert. granted, 397 U.S. 1074, 90 S. Ct. 1525, 25 L. Ed. 2d 808 (May 4, 1970). Even had there been evidence that appellant had consulted a lawyer as to the propriety of the local board's refusal to reopen his classification, any advice that the national law on this point was well settled would have been irresponsible. Nor does it appear that he received any such advice.
Appellant also asserts that a local board must advise every registrant who submits a late crystallizing C.O. claim that he is entitled to a hearing on that claim from the Army and that, pending action following such hearing, he will not be required to engage in any combat training. In default of such prior notification, appellant argues, an order to report for induction would be invalid. No authority is cited for this proposition, except the inapposite requirement that a local board must inform a registrant of his right of appeal. Whatever may be the responsibility of the Army to a registrant after induction to inform him of his then available rights, that responsibility does not rise to the level of legal duty at the draft board stage of processing.3
Another defense advanced by appellant is that the local board violated proper order of call. The district court, after thorough scrutiny of all names on the call list below that of appellant, found that five of the eleven registrants who were called after appellant should have been called before appellant. While the government challenges the court's findings as to the five, we find no occasion to review those findings since there was no prejudice to appellant; he was high enough on the list so that he would still have been called even if there had been no errors. Appellant maintains that it is enough for him to show one error, recalling our attention to our own statement in Yates v. United States, 404 F.2d 462, 466 (1st Cir. 1969), that "* * * where a defendant can produce evidence of a person who should have been called before him but was not * * * the government cannot disprove a leak in a bucket simply by showing most of it was tight."
This, in retrospect, was too encyclopedic a statement. Our focus, as the district court noted, was not on this problem. It was rather on the "rare" case, i. e., a case where proof of one error, where it counted, would suffice to exclude a registrant, and where proof of perfection as to every other part of the order of call in a draft would be irrelevant. We should have added that by the same token a defendant cannot prove a bucket empty by proving a spill; what remains and what it covers are the essentials. Such, by implication, are the decisions in United States v. Baker, 416 F.2d 202, 205 (9th Cir. 1969), and United States v. Lloyd, 431 F.2d 160, 169 (9th Cir. 1970). We have found no cases to the contrary.
Appellant urges that we pronounce a broad prophylactic rule. Not only would such a rule place a huge premium on an isolated error, perhaps a very disputable one as in this case, to the unrestrained havoc of local board functioning; it is not necessary to assure protection to a registrant, particularly where, as here, full information, cross-examination, and judicial attention as to each subsequent name on the call list were provided.
More ambitious assaults against the judgment of conviction include a challenge to the grand jury array, the illegality of the Vietnam War, and the exclusion of women from the draft. The grand jury selection process, now based on voting lists, is challenged for its exclusion of paupers, who are by state law ineligible to vote, for its countenancing of excuses given by professional people, and for the disproportionately small numbers of young people who serve. The first ground was not presented to the court below; the second contention is made without benefit of data as to excuses granted; and the underrepresentation of persons under twenty-five, in view of the obligations of education and transient presence or absence of the younger age group, does not present a case for discrimination. United States v. Gargan, 314 F. Supp. 414 (W.D. Wisc. 1970). See also United States v. Butera, 420 F.2d 564 (1st Cir. 1970).
As to the attempted challenge of the illegality of the Vietnam War, appellant does not surmount the hurdle of standing. United States v. Mitchell, 369 F.2d 323 (2d Cir. 1966), cert denied, 386 U.S. 972, 87 S. Ct. 1162, 18 L. Ed. 2d 132 (1967). Cf. Massachusetts v. Laird, 451 F.2d 26 (1st Cir. 1971). And we are not yet prepared to say that the Congress lacked a sufficiently rational basis in confining the draft to males.
Of the Tenth Circuit, sitting by designation
His written statement of reasons at the induction station merely reaffirmed his religious beliefs, his willingness to help people in a civilian capacity, and his unwillingness to render service which directly or indirectly might be involved with the armed forces
Two days before appellant's induction date, a Massachuetts district court decision, Lane v. Local Board No. 17, 315 F. Supp. 1355 (D. Mass. 1970), applying the late crystallization rule, but without citing Stoppelman, was issued. Appellant at argument properly emphasized that he was putting major reliance on Stoppelman
The Court's primary concern in Ehlert v. United States, supra, was to ensure that "late crystallizers" always had a forum in which to present their claims for conscientious objector status while allowing the selective service system the operating benefits provided by reasonable timeliness rules. Although there is no hint in the Supreme Court's opinion or in the opinion of the Court of Appeals that Ehlert knew at the time he refused induction that procedures were available in the Army by which he could assert his conscientious objector claim, the Supreme Court affirmed his conviction
of First Circuit opinions.
