How Nintendo Made The NES (And Why They Gave It A Gun)
Evan Narcisse
Video game history could've gone a totally different way if Nintendo's corporate headquarters were somewhere else. "If Nintendo wasn't located in Kyoto, I wouldn't have been there," the man who lead the design of the Nintendo Entertainment System said last night. Good thing Masayuki Uemura's parents never relocated to another part of Japan. It's entirely possible that none of us would have any video games to play.
Thursday night, the one-time chief of research and development at Nintendo gave a talk at New York University's Game Center—where I teach an Intro to Game Journalism course—about the circumstances that led up to the birth of the most important games consoles of all time. Game Center director Frank Lantz introduced Uemura, setting the scene for the era during which Uemura's work happened. During the industry crash of the 1980s, Lantz said, there was a sense that video games were a fad that might go away, like "hulu hoops." But, as most people who love video games know, the NES ushered in a golden age of fascination and development that proved the medium could reinvent itself. "This machine maybe saved video games," Lantz said. From there, Uemura told a rapt audience about the creation of Nintendo's iconic home consoles.
After a brief run-through of the company's pre-digital history, the retired executive talked about how Nintendo's TV Game proto-consoles came about from a desire to develop viable imitators of Pong and Breakout. With the translation help of Aki Nakamura, Uemura also told the crowd that Shigeru Miyamoto was initially hired as an industrial designer. The Block Kuzushi product was the Mario creator's first industrial hardware design. "I don't know how he became a game designer!", Uemura chuckled.
Uemura talked about the effort that went into the creation of the Famicom—the NES predecessor that never made it out of Japan. The Famicom's core piece of hardware was the LSI chip, which Nintendo had a hard time finding a manufacturing partner for. Ricoh was the only company that agreed to make LSI graphic chips for the Famicom. Other companies were doing the same for personal computers, which were booming in Japan. Ricoh recruited people from Mitsubishi, some of whom had worked on the TV Game 7 and TV Game 15 proto consoles. CPU and sound chips were also created. Games usually didn't have dedicated sound chips, Uemura said, and most were only capable of producing beeps and boops. The thinking was that arcades were too noisy for anyone to appreciate good music/sound design. But the Famicom was aimed at a home market, which would be quiet, and a sound chip was deemed necessary.
Despite all the Famicom's innovations, Uemura said that the console achieved only middling sales in Nintendo's home country. Getting into the U.S. market was seen as a vital move and company execs looked at various ways they could repackage the Famicom hardware to become a success in America.
The arcade success of Donkey Kong in the U.S. augured well for a possible westward expansion but most people thought game-centric machines were dead. Consumers were pivoting en masse toward the home computer. Meanwhile, Famicom innards were used to make Nintendo's stand-up VS. arcade cabinets. According to Uemura, Japanese players didn't like the competitiveness of this offering but US loved it. NoA modified the cabinets without permission to make it so different Famicom cartridge game could be swapped out. This activity laid the groundwork for a positive reception of a new product.
VHS systems were sweeping the nation in the mid-1980s so designers came up with the NES's front-loading slot as a way to make the machine look more like those tape playback devices and less like the Atari 2600. And the reason that the NES was bundled with the Zapper? It's because Americans love guns.
The system's name was another loaded decision
When talking about NES launch game Gyromite, Uemura said that no one liked the game—meant to be played with the system's Robotic Operating Buddy—in Japan. But R.O.B. became a symbol of differentiation for the NES, a supposed innovation that showed how things had improved since the heyday of the Atari 2600.
Uemura offered a few other choice anecdotes. Talking about his early career goals, he said that he wanted to be in TV and/or audio design, with a job at Sony as his dream get. "What would've happened if I wound up there?!", Uemura giggled. "We didn't have helplines in Japan; we didn't need that," he also said. "But the US is a big country and it takes longer for information to get around." So a partnership with AT&T spawned the helplines that gamers could call when they got stuck.
Thirty years have passed since the NES' debut and Uemura thinks that the old games of that era preserve the play culture of the time. "You can really get the feeling of what Japanese culture was back then by playing these games." Given how the games that attended the system's launch have gone on to become classics, they are little pieces of culture that may very well live on forever, much like the accomplishments of the man who helped birth them.

I was born in 1979, and recall the arrival of the NES pretty clearly. I had played video games before it came along, and generally did not care for Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc. Basically everything that you'd label "Atari" I thought was dull. And, I don't believe this sentiment was unique to myself. I think a LOT of kids who grew up really young with Atari all around them just didn't care. It seems like kids my age had a sense that arcade games were a rip-off because you couldn't play them for very long, and all the games fell too similar to each other.
My first hands-on experience with a NES was the very first time I ever really enjoyed a video game. I think it was around 86 that I finally got to play one. Super Mario Bros of course... duh. After that there were simply so many extremely high quality games on the NES that they all made anything put out before look like just as much fun as scratching your elbow.

Mark Bowden's training immediately takes you to a new plane of effective communication. I haven't stopped talking about it!
Today's executives need to do more than simply succeed: they need to stand out. Communications expert Mark Bowden explains how to use persuasive communication skills to set yourself apart, win trust, and generate profit. His trademark techniques are used by top leaders and political players around the world who want to gain an advantage— beyond words—when they speak.
Bowden received a university degree in performance in the UK, and studied the gesture-control methods of Jacques Lecoq's Laboratory of Movement in Paris. He then went on to work with leading practitioners of movement psychology,building upon the influence techniques of Dr. Milton Erickson. Bowden is on the faculty of the International Masters of Health Leadership at McGill University, and of the Clinical Leadership program at Schulich Executive Education Centre, York University.
Bowden has a reputation for being one of the world's expert performance trainers, and he is highly sought after for his business-presentation acumen.

Bowden delivered a much-watched TEDx Talk in Toronto in September, 2013, and is the body language expert and regular guest on CTV's The Social. His bestselling body-language book, Winning Body Language, has been translated into five languages and sold around the world.
Often when people are strategizing about giving a sales presentation, my guess is, what they're focused on the most is the content.
So often when you want to build a really strong relationship you've got to get data from that client or perspective client that is more intimate so it's trickier to get that data. They're going to be more reserved around you potentially.
Working life never ceases to be a cause of stress.
We all want to be sold to by somebody who seems "real" to us.
When it comes to searching for the right body language that can make you look and feel like a leader, a quick google search will bring you a slew of articles on what to do and what not to do in order to show up as the big "I am" in any and every situation.
As a leader, chances are you have to present more than just now and again. Whether it is to deliver a plan, win over your peers or motivate the team - how your ideas get heard, understood and trusted is essential if you are to stand out from the crowd and increase your credibility.

Our Gravensteins are falling. The appricots too. I amaware of the Life Force all around us. Aware of the cycle that calls us into our full and rich potential here on Earth.
Be not afraid. Villains occur in the smallest of places, like dark work-holes marring perfection. I've learned to eat around the barriers, to taste what I have to give, what I have to take, and the calm that accompanies each true endeavor.
Our time to shine passes quickly. Each day, each encounter reflects how much we notice, choose, and act. This morning, I noticed the bountiful branches. These apples, how do they know English? I heard their whispers, and I crunched a few to make sure.
We get to flex our emotional muscles. There is something greater than we imagine, supporting us to be Superheroic, to have the courage to face our fears, to embrace the wiggling worms for the lessons they have to give.

The science writing heuristic in online education
The science writing heuristic in online education (PDF) (1.283Mb)
Poster (PDF) (503.7Kb)
Devine, Aaron Robert
The author conducted a classroom research project to see whether instruction with the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) in an online setting would increase evidence for critical thinking in the writing of his students. One unit was taught, and its final writing project was scored with a rubric that assessed critical thinking. Lab reports which were written before the SWH treatment unit was taught were also scored with the critical thinking rubric. Scores were compared and analyzed to ascertain whether the writing after the treatment showed an increase in critical thinking. The author found that there was a significant increase in scores after the treatment. The author concluded that, for a variety of reasons, the score on the final writing project was higher than the score on the previously written work. The author also asked whether using the SWH would increase student confidence in science class and gathered evidence by collecting and evaluating student work, interviewing students, and gathering survey results before and after the treatment. There was evidence that in several aspects of science class, student confidence was boosted. Finally, it was asked whether using the SWH would increase student enjoyment of science class. The same sources of information were used to evaluate whether this happened, and the results were inconclusive on this front.

"PFA" calls for a temporary substitute to head injuries during matches
The English Professional Footballers ' Association (PFA) has called for a temporary change for players who suffer head injuries during matches.
The statement came after Leeds United player Robin Koch suffered a head injury during his team's match against Manchester United, where the association criticized the current protocol, stressing that it is not practical and does not support the safety of players, and also puts additional pressure on the medical staffs who carry out a rapid assessment of the injuries.
The "PFA" said that the temporary change would allow games to resume quickly and reduce the pressure on players who sometimes tolerate themselves despite injury, and medical teams that work at full speed, noting that the current rules of the Football Council (IFAB) are useless and put players at risk.

Tamukeyama Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Tamukeyama'
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple foliage
Spread: 10 feet
Sunlight:
Hardiness Zone: 5
An incredibly artistic accent plant for the garden, featuring lacy foliage that emerges a beautiful crimson-red and fades to a purple-green in summer, turning stunning fiery shades of color in fall; best planted in a sheltered location
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is primarily valued in the landscape or garden for its ornamental globe-shaped form. It features subtle corymbs of red flowers rising above the foliage in mid spring before the leaves. It has attractive burgundy deciduous foliage which emerges crimson in spring. The deeply cut ferny palmate leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding red in the fall. The rough gray bark and red branches add an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is an open deciduous tree with a strong central leader and a more or less rounded form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may 'bleed' sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple will grow to be about 7 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 10 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 3 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 80 years or more.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. You may want to keep it away from hot, dry locations that receive direct afternoon sun or which get reflected sunlight, such as against the south side of a white wall. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is a fine choice for the yard, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. Contact our experts for more information on how to protect it over the winter months.

10th February 2017 - Album - EARTH010
First issued over 40 years ago, and now remastered from original tapes, Avocet is a concept piece that is often cited by fans as a favourite.
Avocet begins with 18-minute-long title track, inspired by traditional song 'The Cuckoo'. The five following compositions, also named after birds, are rich instrumental tapestries rooted in traditional folk and folk rock.
Limited white vinyl edition with downloadable bonus tracks
New liner notes from Pentangle bandmate and collaborator Danny Thompson
Expanded 40th anniversary edition, featuring newly discovered live tracks and notes from Pentangle bandmate (and Avocet collaborator) Danny Thompson. Bert Jansch was often quoted as saying "I'm not playing for anyone, just myself" and this feels no more apparent than on 1979's 'Avocet', his beautifully meditative paean to British birds. This isn't to say that Jansch was throwing commercial success to the wind, or was unaware of his audience, more that this album feels like a uniquely personal reflection of him. (The subject of British birds is one that Jansch held close to his heart. Indeed, just preceding this album was his 1978 split 7" single with Shirley Collins – with proceeds in aid of the RSPB.)
For fans of Jansch this is often the album that is singled out as his best work. The freedoms of a post-Pentangle career are much in evidence; folk rock and even trad folk give way to an album that is not only without lyrical accompaniment but really quite orchestral, classical even, in its composition. There are surprises in particular in 'Lapwing' (a dirge-like waltz that wouldn't be out of place on a Nils Frahm album) and 'Bittern' (which speaks of Arthur Russell's more experimental pieces).
Featuring ex-bandmate Danny Thompson, alongside Martin Jenkins (Dando Shaft, amongst others) with sleeve notes by Jansch aficionado Colin Harper (author of 'Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues revival'). This new edition also comprises three never-before heard tracks, recorded live in Italy in 1977 with Martin Jenkins ('Bittern'; 'Kingfisher'; 'Avocet'), as well as Danny Thompson's recollections of the making of 'Avocet', recorded by Dave Thompson (Mojo Magazine) in typical style. Remastered by Brian Pyle from original tapes.

Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) is a typical EU project terminology. This expression is basically a synonym for PhD students: young researchers at an early stage of their career who hold a masters degree and are aiming for a doctoral one.
MgSafe trains 15 ESRs in imaging and implant technologies, because biomedical imaging has gained a significant technological push and is the mainstay for diagnosis and therapy monitoring.
Still, imaging is yet not optimized for the new class of biodegradable Mg-based implants.
All ESRs will develop their individual Personal Learning Environment (PLE) and be trained based on the "T-skills concept" in technologies and transferable skills relevant for their career development and prepared to take over leadership positions in an area of tremendous research promises and clinical relevance where the lack for experts is severe and very well recognized.
The ESRs will quantify the physical impact and suitability of a variety of modalities on Mg implants.
Highly sophisticated imaging techniques (nano and μCT, MRT, PET, USPA, IR) will be developed beyond the forefront of medical device production in vivo and with in situ labelling options to deliver non-invasively data on different time and length scales of the body reaction and material behavior during Mg degradation with a precision and plethora of details which is currently not available.
Verify performance of Mg alloys in animal experiments by means of histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Verify correlation between imaging techniques (µCT, PET, MRI) with histological evidence from in vivo experiments.
After fixation and prior to histological sections, the femur will undergo state-of-the-art non-invasive µCT leading to 3D models of the defects. For histological and immunohistochemical analyses the specimens will be stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), hematoxylin-eosin-methylene blue (HEA) and Masson's trichrome for the assessment of general morphology and osteogenesis. They will be examined qualitatively by light and confocal microscopy. Immunohistochemical analysis will be performed to evaluate the extent of macrophage (pro-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and tissue remodelling) infiltration and for assessment of inflammatory cell phenotypes at the implantation site. The comparisons of histological evidence and imaging techniques will be fed into Task 3.3 (ESR 12).
Ultrastructural and compositional analysis of the bone implant interface, including evalu-ation of the osteocyte network in association with the implant surface.
Determine the molecular activities of major cellular events during bone healing and regeneration, including inflammation, bone formation and bone remodelling as well as osteocyte specific markers. To correlate the gene expression and structural aspects of the bone formation.
Study the early and late inflammatory response in an in vivo soft-tissue model, and to relate that to the degree of tissue healing and/or encapsulation around the implanted materials.
Deliver data and tissue to network partners.
Determine the influence of static (B0) and RF (B1) heterogeneity on MRI and MRS mea-surements in the presence of Mg implants.
Elaborate existing MRI and MRS methods for in vivo non-invasive monitoring of physiological parameters and develop specialised methods that can compensate such influences. The focus will be on spatial encoding, short echo time projection reconstruction and advanced shimming strategies to significantly reduce susceptibility artefacts and to enable quantifiable spectroscopy by use of localised constant time spin echo correlation spectroscopy.
Study of the dynamic regulation of bone regeneration and remodelling.
Validation of the probes/target combination, both in vitro and in vivo, following a multimodal approach (µPET/CT, µECO, USPA).
Integration of bone metabolism and homeostasis together with morphometric measurements.
Development of new preclinical imaging strategies to be translated in a clinical setting.
The rat models will be the primary choice for evaluation of osteo-integration. If required, selected studies on sheep-model can be performed with PET/CT. MRI will be used to evidence muscle and bone oedema considered as bio-marker of the damage and implant associated effects. The studies will be performed at 3T. The set up and validation of the tracers for µPET/CT in vivo will be performed by [18F]-FDG to evidence the glycolytic pathway enhanced by inflammation process, while suitable [68Ga]-cRGD-peptide ligands binding αvβ3 integrin will be used to follow the angiogenetic process non-invasively.
Integration of biohumoral and biochemical information with image-derived parameters of bone metabolism.
circulating biomarkers will be evaluated by a multi-marker approach.
Measurement and analysis of the near infrared absorption spectra & local perfusion at the implant-tissue interface by using either a single or multiple probes to achieve a spot measurement or a two-dimensional image. it is possible to reconstruct The probe will be specifically designed to measure the perfusion close to the implant with less influence from the superficial tissue layer.
Calibration & validation of the spectroscopic data by multivariate and SPM (Statistical Parameter Mapping) methods.
Analysis & combination of spectroscopic data with fluorescence, µCT, PET, MRI and USPA in animal models.
Validation of the technique for human application.
Characterise surface and interface properties as well as topography of Mg-explants after in vivo degradation.
Obtain high-resolution surface nano- and micro-structural information about Mg-based explants.
Determine corrosion layer composition by using high-resolution surface spectroscopy of Mg-based explants.
Derive information about the degradation progress of Mg material in vivo based on the obtained results.
Imaging of Mg implants in native tissue environment.
High-energy DPC imaging for cre-ation of multimodal image data sets integrating phase, attenuation and dark field CT-data.
Optimisation of SR tomography methods and data analysis protocols for metallic implants.
Implementation of Deep / Machine Learning approaches for multimodal data analysis.
histological (ESR 3) and surface cha-racterisation techniques (ESR 9) to correlate structure and function of degradable implants.
Repository for data from 2D and 3D imaging systems produced from partners in WPs 1, 2 and 4.
Develop a concept to link and relate datasets originating from different modalities and different time points.
Develop software for combined visualisation of multimodal and multidimensional datasets.
development of RF shimming algorithms that use the degrees of freedom of multi-channel transmission to generate reduced RF field zones or "null mode" excitations that induce minimal RF current in Mg implants, thereby decreasing the RF heating hazard, while still allowing imaging of the surrounding volume.
the state of the implant's degradation.
perform validation studies on larger animals like sheep, the result of which can be translated to the clinic.


The Town of Montgomery Seniors Independence Project is committed to supporting seniors in their goal to remain independent in their homes rather than moving on to institutional settings by developing a program to coordinate volunteers and reliable vendors to provide services necessary to achieve this goal.
We strive to keep seniors in the community both for their benefit and also to enrich the community as a whole with their companionship, experience and wisdom.
Neighbors helping neighbors = What our community is all about!!
The Project covers all of the Town of Montgomery: Maybrook, Walden, and Montgomery. The Town has organized a volunteer program to help our senior neighbors remain independent and safe.
- Rides — for doctor appointments, grocery store runs, beauty/barber, bank, library.
- Indoors — Simple chores & occasional light housekeeping — vacuuming, dusting, changing the light bulbs.
- Outdoors — Assist with lawn care, snow shoveling, leaf raking, spring clean-up.
- Volunteers or Groups can be matched one-to-one with our neighbors needing help.
For more information call: 457-4138. Volunteers may leave their name and telephone number and the Coordinator will get back to them.

Why Your Style Has Nothing to do with Anybody Else
Photo's by incredible Gienna Barone.
"Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever." - Ralph Lauren
Mr. Lauren (that sounds really strange!) made quite a bit of sense when he made this quote. It's a little hard to wrap your head around at first though. When thinking of style, I immediately obviously picture fashion, runways, what's trending and who's wearing what. But once you dive a bit deeper, it's very clear that style and fashion are two completely different things. And I think that's pretty fascinating.
I have been absolutely obsessed with clothing since I can remember. My mom used to have such a hard time with me because I would turn my room upside down, changing into four or five different outfits throughout the day. Take note that I must've been about four years old here. Indeed, it started early!
Since those days of throwing my clothes all over the floor, I would say that my style has evolved and I find myself feeling more confident in items that I wouldn't have thought a while ago.
And I suppose it's different for everyone - we all find our personal style at different times or because of different circumstances. But that's what I find interesting, whether you try and copy someone's look or start a trend of your own, it will always look completely unique to your own character.
I've always been a big fan of black, as most of us are. It's just a very chic option for clothing of every style and makes anyone look good. But lately I have become a huge lover of colour. I'm not too sure if that has anything to do with my purple hair or what, but it happened. I've been obsessed with my dusty pink coat from Only, my bright coral, little zip bag, my olive green off-the-shoulder top and obviously this luminous orange wall! It's just incredible... And during this very colourful phase of my life, I have really been having a lot of fun with choosing different clothes to wear and stepping out of my comfort zone of "all black".
To me, this is what style is about. It's got to do with trying new things that suddenly become extremely fascinating to you, and moving away from your norm, in the hopes of growing your love for fashion and creativity through style.
There is always going to be a fashion trend to follow or a celebrity wearing something that gives us all heart eyes. And of course, it's always fun to go along and try out these beautiful styles that we see on runways and in magazines. But in an effort to save our wallets, and our individuality, experimenting in ways that YOU think are adding to your own personal style, will be a lot more fun. It doesn't need to be expensive, designer or anything of that sort. It's really just got to make you feel good.
Don't get me wrong, I love following what's hot and trending, but if you ever feel like trying something different that's not yet been broadcast all over Fashion TV, don't let that stop you. Style is meant to be played with and constantly evolving. So do just that! Play with your style to your heart's content. Turn heads, cause jaw drops and let people stare. Because at the end of the day, who really cares? It's your style, and that's all that matters!
What are your thoughts when it comes to style and experimenting with your own?


The meeting was called to order at 7:15 PM. The minutes from 10/19 were approved.
The meeting began by reviewing the surveys from the "Kids+Friendship" event. The surveys were highly complimentary and many people wanted more resources on this issue. Specifically, a number of people were interested in having Katie speak to fifth graders transitioning to middle school. The presentation was filmed for HCAM and SEPAC will send an email to participants when the presentation is uploaded.
Next, the meeting turned to presenting a summary of the SEPAC leadership's meeting with the administration. The upcoming budget meetings were the most pressing issue on the administration's agenda, with 1/14 likely to be the date that the special education budget will be discussed. The administration is requesting an additional administrative position dedicated to special education budget. Liz Flynn reported that most districts of similar size have an assistant director for special education. This person would likely help with field supervision. An important qualification for the position would be teaching and leadership experience, as well as a working knowledge of common core curriculum and standards.
SEPAC is slated to do a Superintendent Spotlight on December 7th and 8th with a focus on what its like to have a special needs child in Hingham and what is SEPAC. The group decided that it would be great to have SNAP co-featured in the Spotlight.
During the meeting with the administration, SEPAC officers also discussed ESY. The Administration is very focused on increasing the level of communication/notification around ESY in 2016. We discussed ways SEPAC could assist and they thought an ESY information night in the April timeframe would be ideal. The administration discussed having the ESY director as well as transportation take part in this informational evening.
The meeting then turned to a discussion of SEPAC's partnership with the Hingham Educational Foundation (HEF). HEF is eager to rollout a speaker series and agreed to fund Nadja Reilly as a speaker on April 6th. Members present thought it would be great if Nadja could address teachers and staff at 4 PM and have a second event for parents at 7 PM. In addition, the group thought it made sense to reach out to principals to see if it would be useful for Nadja to address students, such as the Fifth Grade Leadership Club at South. HEF will provide 100% of the funding.
Nate also discussed funding teacher training with HEF. HEF was supportive, but acknowledged difficulty with Professional Development Points. Liz believed that it would be possible to award teachers PDPs (after 7/1/16 have to show 50 PDP points in special education topic and 10 in ELL). Liz shared that Ellen Keane is in charge of the teacher mentoring program and that new teachers may be a good target for SEPAC training.
Larry Epstein – Collaborative Problem-Solving (The Explosive Child).
The group agreed that for all future speaking events, it is best organize a series of presentations geared toward children, youth, parents and teachers/staff.
A mother at South started recess running club, which has been a great outlet for children struggling to connect socially at recess. There is also interest in starting similar groups at East and Foster.
Best Buddies requires more structure and support at the high school, particularly around communication.
There is no buddies program at the middle school or elementary school levels.

COVID-19 test draws a crowd
Photos by Scott Halasz | Greene County News A free pop-up coronavirus test site was at Greene County Health Center Wednesday, snarling traffic in the area. Testing began at 9 a.m. and was slated to end at 4 p.m. An advisory from the Greene County Sheriff's Office indicated that traffic on Wilson Drive near Greene Memorial Hospital had to be rerouted through a couple neighborhoods and residents were to expect "minor hardships" on normal day-to-day activities. This the first pop-up test in the county, which was identified by Gov. Mike DeWine as one of the areas he is concerned about due to an increase in positive tests.

Jan Hus burned at the stake
Jan Hus, or John Huss (c.1370 - 6 July 1415) was born in Husinec, Bohemia (now Czech Republic). He was a Bohemian religious thinker and reformer. He started a religious movement that was strongly influenced by the beliefs of British scholar, John Wycliffe.
Hus studied at the University of Prague. In about 1400, he became a Catholic priest, and was soon accepted a position of preaching in Czech, the language spoken in Bohemia. While preaching, he studied Wycliffe's writings, and came to like them, especially because of how authentic and real they were.
In 1403, Hus asked the church to undo the ban on Wycliffe's writings, and translated them into Czech. The church, led by archbishop Zbynek Zajíc, had different beliefs. In 1410, Zajíc ordered that Hus' writings be burned and Hus and his followers, the Hussites be forced out of the church. Hus was excommunicated in 1411, condemned by the Council of Constance, and burned at the stake on 6 July 1415, in Konstanz, Germany.[1][2]
When Hus was killed his followers revolted and fought against the Catholics until they were defeated in 1431.
Hus' teachings[change | change source]
The (Catholic) Church is made of all those meant to be saved (ecclesia est universitas praedestinatorum). It is not made of the hierarchy of priests.
Christ is the head of the Church, not the Pope. It is therefore not necessary to obey the pope to be saved.
Many of his teachings were later taken up by Martin Luther.

1 injured in Sunday morning stabbing, police said
chaley@dmreg.com
Des Moines police found a bloodied man in his apartment after a reported stabbing Sunday morning, according to a police report.
At about 5:20 a.m., the 28-year-old victim called police, saying a man broke into his apartment in the 2800 block of Douglas Avenue and stabbed him, according to the report.
Police found the victim near the apartment's bathroom grasping for a hammer and trying to hold a towel around his left hand, according to the police report. The victim had a 4-inch cut on his left palm.
The victim told police his assailant kicked in his front door and began swinging a large black knife at him, which cut the victim's hand as the victim lifted his hands to shield himself.
The victim had tried to grab a hammer to defend himself, but instead was able to just push the attacker out the door, according to the report. The victim told police that the suspect then ran away.
Police found "a large pool of blood" in the apartment as evidence of a struggle, according to the report.
The victim told police he believes the suspect is someone associated with his own previous robbery charge, and that this person had verbally threatened the victim previously. The potential suspect named by the victim is not identified in the police report.
The victim was transported to a hospital for medical attention, according to the report. He did not have any other injuries aside from the cut to his hand, police said.

Next Article H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid lauds Etisalat's role in '100 Million Meals' campaign
Etisalat Group has announced the successful completion of a bond issuance worth one billion euros ($1.2 billion) to refinance the maturing bond tranche it had issued in 2014 ($4.3 billion) for the acquisition of a controlling stake in Maroc Telecom.
Etisalat Group issued bonds in two tranches, the first is a 7 years tranche amounting to 500 million euros with an annual yield of 0.4 per cent. The second tranche for a period of 12 years amounts to 500 million euros with an annual yield of 1 per cent.
The refinancing decision aims to diversify the company's sources of funds and extending the repayment schedule of existing debt while taking benefit of improved cost of funding thereby maximizing shareholders value. The bond issuance was very successful as it witnessed a remarkable demand from local and international investors with being 6 times oversubscribed.
"This high demand reflects investors' confidence in Etisalat Group's performance, strong financial profile and credit ratings; Aa3 stable (Moody's) and AA- Stable (S&P Global), one of the highest rating in the industry. This also highlights the growing confidence of international investors in the UAE economy," the company said in a statement.
HSBC, BNP Paribas, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Societe Generale have been hired to arrange the transaction.
In its 2014, maiden bond issue, Etisalat sold fixed-rate debt in four tranches with maturities ranging from five to 12 years to replace some of the debt used to fund its 4.2 billion euro ($5.7 billion) purchase of a majority stake in Morocco's Maroc Telecom from France's Vivendi.
The $4.3 billion worth of bonds issued in 2014, set one record as the region's biggest corporate issue ever and another for the cheapest pricing, according to bankers.
In Q1 2021, the Group reported consolidated revenues of AED 13.2 billion while consolidated net profit after Federal Royalty amounted to AED 2.3 billion, representing a year over year increase of 7.9% and resulting in a net profit margin of 18%. The group had posted a net profit of Dh2.2 billion for the first quarter in 2020 (Q1).
The subscriber base reached 12.4 million in Q1 of 2021 in the UAE, while the aggregate subscriber base reached 156 million, representing a year over year increase of 4%.
In February, the Group's twelve month consolidated revenues had reached AED 51.7 billion, while consolidated net profit after Federal Royalty for the twelve month amounted to AED 9.0 billion ($2.45 billion), an increase of 3.8% compared to 2019.

New Report: Declining Drug Enforcement After Proposition 47
A new report finds arrests and citations for drug possession have decreased in Los Angeles and San Diego counties after Prop 47.
In November 2014, California took a significant step toward reforming mass criminalization and over-incarceration by passing Proposition 47, a ballot measure that changed certain low-level crimes from potential felonies to misdemeanors; prioritizing drug treatment over punishment. In 2015, the first full year after Prop 47, felony drug arrests fell by over 92,000 while misdemeanor drug arrests increased by only 70,000. Taken together, these shifts produced a 10 percent decline in total drug arrests. In that year alone, 22,000 fewer drug possession cases were filed in California's criminal justice system.
For decades, the criminal justice system has incentivized arrests, convictions, incarceration, and other criminal consequences for drug use. However, the American public increasingly believes problematic substance use is a public health problem, not a criminal one. In California, drug policy reforms implemented over recent years reflect these changing perceptions.
In response to the passage of Prop 47, some police departments began redirecting drug enforcement resources to community policing or the enforcement of other, more serious, offenses. Critics of the policy, however, claim that it limits police authority and constrains the effectiveness of drug control, a contention that has led some law enforcement agencies to deemphasize the enforcement of Prop 47-related offenses.
Drug offense arrests in California, 2005-2015
This report, authored by CJCJ in partnership with the Drug Policy Alliance, seeks to understand how enforcement and prosecution of drug possession offenses have changed after Prop 47 by analyzing arrests and citations made by Los Angeles and San Diego law enforcement, and charges filed by county prosecutors.
"Prop 47 and Prop 64 are significant steps towards decriminalizing drug use and investing in repairing some of the damages caused by the punitive laws stemming from the war on drugs", said Eunisses Hernandez, Policy Coordinator with Drug Policy Alliance. "This report finds that Prop 47 led to a decline in the use of state and local criminal justice systems for simple drug possession cases; freeing up dollars that would have been spent on incarceration. Only by ending the criminalization of substance use and investing into evidence-based treatment can communities begin to effectively address problematic substance use and improve local health and safety," said Hernandez.
While Prop 47 has repealed some vestiges of the war on drugs, sustained and intentional law enforcement and prosecutor cooperation is crucial to achieving lasting reform. Science and medicine agree that substance use is best addressed with a public health, rather than criminal justice, approach. Though Prop 47, and more recently Prop 64, represent major steps forward, only by ending the criminalization of substance use can communities align local policies with best practices, effectively address problematic substance use, and improve health and safety in our communities.
