Lester Eubanks Sightings: Was the Murderer Ever Found?
By	Beth Heyn
U.S. Marshals Service	The mugshot of Lester Eubanks, taken in 1973, along with two age-progression photos later released.
Lester Eubanks is listed as one of the U.S. Marshals Service 15 most wanted criminals. His escape will be one of the cases investigated in Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries season 2.
Eubanks was serving a life sentence for the murder and attempted rape of 14-year-old Mary Ellen Deener, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. In December 1973, while on furlough to go Christmas shopping, Eubanks simply walked away. He has never been found.
Eubanks had originally been sentenced to death for the murder and rape, but that was changed to a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole later on, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Authorities Have Been Searching for Eubanks Since 1973
On the run for nearly 50 years, Lester Eubanks is the subject of one of the nation's fiercest manhunts.
US Marshals give @ABC unprecedented access to the chase—and hope listeners can help deliver the crucial clue that can bring Eubanks to justice.

Since his disappearance in December 1973, Eubanks has not been found. Authorities believe that the murderer is living somewhere under a new identity that he created for himself, according to the Mansfield News Journal.
Eubanks has been the subject of plenty of TV specials including a 2020 episode of In Pursuit With John Walsh. According to the Mansfield News Journal, Eubanks has relatives living in Mansfield, but he could be anywhere in the world. Authorities believe that he is still extremely dangerous.
There is now a $25,000 reward offered for information leading authorities to Eubanks.
Leads Have Placed Eubanks in Michigan or California

According to a press release from the U.S. Marshals, there have been leads placing the killer in both Michigan and California, but there have been no official sightings of him reported.
"Lester Eubanks has had a lot of time on the lam," said Deputy U.S. Marshal David Siler according to the press release. "Fugitives on the run as long as Eubanks tend to use that time to change their appearance, use aliases, and even start new lives. He literally could be hiding in plain sight. This is why we are asking citizens to be vigilant and contact us with any information they believe will help us apprehend him."
After the release, Siler told Rolling Stone that leads have also placed him in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Ohio, but none of those leads have led to the capture of Eubanks.
Investigators Believe DNA may Help Locate Eubanks
A new fugitive has been added to the "15 Most Wanted" list.

As recently as 2019, U.S. Marshals have attempted to get the approval needed to compare Eubanks' son's DNA against DNA that has been collected at crime scenes around the country, according to ABC News.
"We're going to do everything within our legal means to uncover the identity that Lester Eubanks is utilizing," Peter Elliot, the U.S. Marshal for Northern Ohio, told ABC's Have You Seen This Man? podcast.
Familial DNA was used to catch Joseph DeAngelo, the Golden State Killer, in 2018. Authorities are hoping to use the same type of database to find and capture Eubanks, though they are running into some issues, according to ABC News.
The site reported that the FBI prohibits searching their database using a relative's DNA, Henry T. Greely explained to ABC News.
"I think the first problem is how to get it into the database to begin with," he told them.
Eubanks is described as a 5-foot-11 Black male with black hair and brown eyes. Unique characteristics include a mole under his left eye, and authorities believe he may be using the alias Victor Young, according to a press release.

How Britain became part of Second World War 80 years ago

Chris Bond
It's 80 years tomorrow since Britain declared war on Germany. Chris Bond looks back at this historic moment and the impact of the so-called Phoney War.
It was 11.15am on the morning of September 3, 1939, when the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, announced in a radio broadcast to the nation that the British deadline for the withdrawal of German troops from Poland had expired.

He said the British ambassador to Berlin had handed a final note to the German government stipulating that unless it announced plans to withdraw from Poland by 11am, a state of war would exist between the two countries.
In sombre, stilted tones, Chamberlain continued: "I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received and consequently this country is at war with Germany."
It was the news everyone had feared but expected, and so a mere 21 years after the guns fell silent on the Western Front, Britain once again found itself at war with Germany.
Chamberlain was desperate to avoid a repeat of the bloodbaths of the Somme and Passchendaele and staked everything on finding a diplomatic solution, and his inevitable failure to do so would lead to his political demise.

Ironically, just as he had finished his broadcast the air raid sirens went off and Whitehall had to be evacuated. It proved to be a false alarm, though it was a sign that the world as they knew it was about to irrevocably change.
In the event, Britain and France barely lifted a finger to help Poland in its hour of need and by the end of September Polish resistance had been crushed as the country was sent back to a new dark age.
The same could be said of Europe. When Chamberlain returned from Munich in 1938, waving a piece of paper and proclaiming 'peace in our time' there was, briefly, hope that war could be averted.

However, when German troops marched into the Czech-held Sudetenland the following year it shattered any illusion that Hitler could be negotiated with, and all that remained was the dreadful realisation that they only way he would be stopped was by force.
There was shock, too, at the non-aggression pact signed by Germany and the Soviet Union which preceded the invasion of Poland and left Britain and France isolated and vulnerable.
Edward Spiers, Professor of Strategic Studies at the University of Leeds, says there was a sense of foreboding in the country 80 years ago.
"There was a sombre realisation that war had come again and people were braced for it," he says.

There was a hive of activity as the country put itself on a war footing. Hospitals were cleared in case they were needed to cope with the expected air raid casualties. Some experts predicted there would be more than a million injuries in the space of two months.
"There were more emergency laws passed in the first two weeks of the Second World War than in the entire first year of the First World War. So in a sense the government had learned from the past but people didn't necessarily understand why these things were happening," says Prof Spiers.
Unlike at the start of the First World War there was no great rush to sign up, instead men waited for their call up papers. There was, though, a rush to get married with August and September seeing the highest number of weddings ever recorded.
Still, in some ways little changed during those first few weeks in September. Families were encouraged to take advantage of the clement weather, with one advert for a coach company reading: "Don't Mind Hitler, Take your holiday." Cinemas were initially closed by the authorities only to reopen a few weeks later.
The introduction of the blackout was initially treated as a bit of a joke, but when the number of traffic incidents shot up it no longer seemed quite so funny. By the end of the first month of the war there had been 1,130 road deaths attributed to the blackout, with coroners urging pedestrians to carry a newspaper or a white handkerchief to make them more visible.
The biggest upheaval surrounded the evacuation of children out of cities which it was feared would be bombed by the Luftwaffe. Around 9,000 children had already been brought to the UK from Europe prior to the start of the war and now there was an even greater exodus.
D-Day: The fight for liberation
"There was a significant amount of movement in the Phoney War period which differed depending on where you were," says Prof Spiers. "There was a Government scheme and about four million adults and children were moved from the bigger cities, and another two million were evacuated privately."
The first evacuees left on September 1 and over the course of the next few days more than 820,000 unaccompanied children and 524,000 with pre school youngsters left the cities, including places like Leeds, Hull and Sheffield.
"The irony was that by the early part of 1940 quite a large proportion of these had returned to their homes and there was a further exodus when the Blitz started. So there was a lot of upheaval."
Dr Nick Evans, Lecturer in Diaspora History at the University of Hull, says people had read about what was happening in Poland and were fearful that they were next. "The day war broke out my great-grandmother got in her car and drove off with her youngest children to Wales because she was convinced that Hull would be bombed. So there was a real fear about what was coming.
"People were concerned about civilians being bombed, they were concerned about gas attacks, so there was the mass distribution of gas masks. Some of the terrors of the First World War were very much in the minds of those who were thinking about the conduct of the second."
If there was a lot happening on the home front, it was a different story from a military point of view. "The first German bomb didn't land on British soil until one was dropped on the Shetlands on the 13th of November and it's not until December that the first British fatality is suffered in France. Compare that with the First World War, where 50,000 British servicemen had been lost in the first three months," says Prof Spiers.
"France was our allie but it was beset with a defensive attitude. It built the Maginot Line and was sheltering behind that, and Britain wasn't prepared to do any sort of bombing on Germany, not under Neville Chamberlain at least, for fear of reprisals."
There was, however, no Phoney War at sea. "The liner Athenia was torpedoed within hours of war being declared and the Royal Oak battleship was sunk in October. So there was a war going on, just not on our doorstep."
This was followed in December by the Battle of the River Plate off the coast of South America between three British warships and the German pocket battleship, the Admiral Graf Spee, which culminated in the latter being scuttled.
It was a welcome victory for the Navy and one the newly installed First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, was quick to jump on.
This was, however, a rare piece of good news. The disastrous Norway Campaign in April 1940, which saw ill-equipped British troops sent packing, was the catalyst for the collapse of Chamberlain's government, leaving the stage set for a new leader.
Eighty years ago, though, there was little talk, and even less hope, of the war being over by Christmas. And as families sat huddled around their wireless sets listening to Chamberlain's voice crackle across the airwaves, the creeping sensation must have been one of dread.
There was a sense of inevitability about another war in Europe during the 1930s, following the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany and Benito Mussolini in Italy, not to mention concerns surrounding the motives of Stalin's Soviet Union.
Events took a downward spiral as the decade moved forward and Hitler's increasingly aggressive foreign policy led to the invasion of the Czech lands (Bohemia and Moravia) in March 1939.
Britain and France subsequently agreed to support Poland in the event of a German invasion.
However, their agreement did little to deter Hitler, who attacked Poland on 1 September 1939. Two days later Britain declared war against Germany.

"Children's movement skills when playing active video games" by Ryan Hulteen, M. Johnson et al.
Active video games (AVGs) may be useful for movement skill practice. This study examined children's skill execution while playing Xbox Kinect™ and during movement skill assessment. Nineteen children (10 boys, 9 girls; M age = 7.9yr., SD = 1.4) had their skills assessed before AVG play and then were observed once a week for 6 wk. while playing AVGs for 50min. While AVG play showed evidence of correct skill performance (at least 30–50% of the time when playing table tennis, tennis, and baseball), nearly all skills were more correctly performed during skill assessment (generally more than 50% of the time). This study may help researchers to better understand the role AVGs could play in enhancing real life movement skills.

Compound logic with logical AND
Join Bruce Van Horn for an in-depth discussion in this video Compound logic with logical AND, part of C# Essential Training: 2 Flow Control, Arrays, and Exception Handling.
- [Instructor] So, we've seen an example of the logical or…used inside of an if statement, a compound if statement.…Why don't we take a look at another example?…This time, we'll use and instead of or.…Let's say we have a method that is designed…to give a letter grade based on a score.…So, typically, what you see is 90 and above is an A,…80 to 89 is a B, and so on.…So, we'll call this one, "Grade Letter."…We'll take an integer as the score,…and what we'll do here is we'll use our if statement.…
So, we'll say if score is greater than 90,…that's all you really need for the A,…will return A.…But for the B, we're going to need a compound statement.…So, we'll say else if score greater than 79…and score less than 90.…If that's the case, then we'll return B.…
For the C, I'll do it slightly differently.…I'll say else if score greater than or equal to 70…and score less than or equal to 80.…And in that case, I'll return a C.…And anything below that, well, let's just give them an F.…You get the idea.…We have a lot of different options here.…

TOWSON, Md. (AP) - It's almost Valentine's Day, and at Towson University in Maryland a mother has been trying so hard to find a date for her son that police are concerned.
Towson University Police Department said they are investigating three incidents of students being approached, according to local news outlet WBFF. The advisories were intended to heighten awareness and inform the community.


School hours are 7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A separate summer camp program is offered each year if enough parents are interested in participating. Please refer to the school calendar for specific dates and holidays that the school is closed as well as for special events.
1. 8:45 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. with the choice of two, three or five days.
2. 8:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. with the choice of three or five days. These children bring their lunch and eat with the class.
3. 8:45 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. with the choice of three or five days. These children bring their lunch, eat with the class and stay for nap time after lunch.
4. 8:45 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
We have three Montessori Primary classes in which the Montessori curriculum hours are from 8:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. for the younger children, ages 3 & 4, and 8:45a.m. – 3:00 p.m. for ages 5 & 6. These are students who have demonstrated academic, social and emotional readiness. If your child is enrolled in this program, your child's teacher will discuss his/her progress with you and advise you as to your child's readiness to extend his/her hours to 3:00 p.m. This extension is by invitation only; the decision is made by your child's teacher.
The Primary All-Day hours are 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. This program also provides the flexibility of students arriving as early as 7:30 a.m. and staying as late as 6:00 p.m. with an additional charge.
We also offer 8:45 a.m.-3:00 p.m. for students under the age of 5, this includes lunch and nap time.
During the school year, August -May, our office hours are 7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Summer office hours are 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you need to contact the school before or after office hours, leave a message and your call will be returned during office hours.
Enrollment forms must be completed in their entirety and returned to us by your child's first day of attendance. These forms contain vital information that we must have in the case of an emergency in addition to important allergy information about your child. Please report any changes promptly to the office. This is especially important for changes in emergency contact numbers, as well as any changes in your child's medical information.
Each child must have an immunization record on file at the time of enrollment or provide a signed affidavit against such immunizations. The only acceptable immunization form is the new Georgia form 3231 revision 1/100. This form must be from your child's pediatrician or the Health Department. There is a thirty-day grace period for receipt of immunization records upon entrance. Beyond that your child will not be permitted to attend class until we receive the correct immunization forms. These must be kept up to date. There is no grace period for updates.
Tuition is assessed on an annual basis. VMS budgets and maintains the curriculum and the staff annually based on the number of students enrolled. The tuition, therefore, is not subject to adjustment by reduction or remission because of absence or holidays. It is understood that students are enrolled for the entire school year, or for such portion of the school year as remains after the date of enrollment.
No cash will be accepted for tuition payments. We will, however, accept a money order.
Tuition is due to the office the 1st of each month and will be considered late after the 5th of each month. You will not be sent a monthly invoice. You may mail your check or drop it in the tuition box (located in the office). If you will be out of town or the school is closed at a time tuition is due, you may mail the payment in advance to avoid a late payment charge. NO POST DATED CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED. If the 1st or 5th falls on a weekend or day the school is closed (including extended breaks), your payment is still due by the 5th. Please do not place checks in the mailbox or give to anyone at carpool.
A $40.00 per month late fee will be assessed for any payments made beyond the 5th of each month. Please be aware that there are no grace periods beyond the 5th of the month. An additional $40.00 late fee will be assessed if tuition payment is not paid by the 15th of the month. Also, each day after the 15th that tuition is not paid, there will be an additional $3.00 per day late fee incurred. A $40.00 service charge will be assessed for any returned checks. In fairness to all, we will not overlook late payments. Please keep accurate records of your tuition payments if you need them for tax purposes.
A 90-day written notice of withdrawal is required for any withdrawals. Tuition will not be refunded in the event of withdrawal without 90-day written notice.
Village Montessori School has worked to keep tuition reasonable and to limit fees while providing many of the items that other schools ask parents to provide. Rather than ask parents to provide a variety of items for which you must go shopping, we ask each parent to pay a supply fee for the entire school year. This fee is due with the registration payment and covers some of the cost of consumable supplies. For the Elementary students the fee also covers workbooks and shared text books. The supply fee will be pro-rated if the student starts school after January 15th. The contract for the following school year must be signed at the same time in order to receive the pro-rated discount.
There is an annual registration fee, which is non-refundable and is not applied toward regular tuition. Registration is reduced for contracts that are returned by a specified date. Contracts returned after the specified date, are subject to the standard registration fee.
Village Montessori School offers financial aid scholarships through the Apogee Scholarship Fund. Please visit www.ApogeeScholarships.org for more information. In addition, the school offers some scholarships and loans to families based on financial need. If you would like to be considered, please see the office for a financial aid packet. All financial aid applications are due by April 15th.
 VMS personnel shall only dispense prescription medications.
 The medication must be provided by the parent and must be accompanied by a completed authorization form (available in the office).
 Medication shall be in the original labeled container with child's full name.
 Non -prescription or over the counter medication shall not be dispensed.
 VMS personnel are not permitted to dispense medication on an "as needed" basis.
 Authorizations to dispense medications shall be limited to two (2) weeks, unless otherwise prescribed by a physician. Authorization for medication to be administered for more than two (2) weeks must be updated every six (6) months by the child's physician.
 Non-emergency injections shall only be administered by persons appropriately licensed unless the parent and physician of the child sign a written authorization for the child to self-administer the injection.
Please do not send medication to school in your child's lunch box. Medicine is to be given to your child's classroom staff. If any adverse reactions are noted, parents will be contacted at the phone numbers provided on personal records. PARENTS MUST ALWAYS KEEP THESE NUMBERS UPDATED.
The Georgia Department of Human Resources provides a chart of communicable disease and recommendations for exclusion of sick children from school and their readmission to school. This chart is posted in the office and will be followed.
A child shall not be accepted nor allowed to remain at the school if the child is running any fever (99-100.9 is considered a low grade fever) and/or has another contagious symptom, such as, but not limited to, a rash, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, or green or yellow runny nose for several consecutive days. If a child experiences any symptoms, he must remain at home 24 hours symptom free without use of medications.
If a child contracts a noticeable communicable disease, it is the parents' responsibility to notify the school. The child will not be allowed to re-enter school without a doctor's note.
To be able to bring your Primary child to school early, he or she must be enrolled in the extended all day program. Between 7:30a.m. - 8:00a.m., you may walk your child through the main entrance, downstairs and into the early arrival classroom. For children that arrive between 8:00a.m. and 8:30a.m., you may walk them into their class, your teacher and assistant will be there to greet them.
Toddler: 8:50 a.m. – 9:00 Toddler: 11:45 a.m. 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m.
Primary: 8:30 a.m. - 8:40 a.m. Primary (half day): 12:00 p.m. - 12:10 p.m.
Primary (full day): 3:00 p.m. - 3:10 p.m.
Lower Elementary: 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. Lower Elementary: 3:00 p.m. - 3:10 p.m.
Upper Elementary: 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. Upper Elementary: 3:00 p.m. - 3:10 p.m.
Middle School: 8:05 a.m.- 8:15 a.m. Middle School: 3:30 p.m.
Gates are closed at the end of your carpool time. Anyone coming in later will have to sign in at the office and considered tardy. Three times tardy in one semester will require the child and parent to meet with teacher and administration to discuss ways to be on time. Being punctual is part of learning to be a member of a group and learning responsibility. Habitual tardiness is grounds for dismissal.
Parents of toddlers may park their cars and walk their children into the toddler classrooms until the child is ready for carpool. The teacher will greet your child at the door. Please refrain from too much conversation as the teacher's focus is on the child. For departure, please park by the fence and come in to pick up your child.
1. All children will be released to parents only or those designated on your child's enrollment forms. If you make arrangements for someone else to pick up your child, you must: a) complete a Carpool Change Form for the office; or B) notify the school in writing or by phone, even if the alternate person is already listed on the enrollment form. Please check in with the office if you are picking your child up early, and a staff member will get your child from class.
2. Please keep conversations with office staff, teachers and other parents in the hallway to a minimum. Conversations can be disruptive to the classrooms located nearby and make it difficult to maintain a quiet atmosphere for telephone communications in the office, especially during this busy time of day.
3. Forgotten items (lunches, homework, medication, clothing, etc.) should be dropped off at the office, and a staff member will take it to your child's class.
4. If your child is enrolled in our After-School Program, please remember to bring home all correspondence from school. For After-School dismissal please come to the front office and your child will be called up to meet you in the office.
5. Please make sure your child is buckled properly, do not exit the driveway without having your child properly restrained.
6. EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2011. Children under age eight are required to be in a child safety seat or booster seat appropriate for their height and weight and used according to the manufacturer's instructions. The law also requires children under eight to ride in the rear seat. Village Montessori will only place children into appropriate car seats and never in the front seat.
7. Please refrain from the use of cell phone and smoking in the carpool line. This will help ensure the safety of our children.
8. During carpool times, please remain in the carpool line. We discourage families from parking and walking your child in or picking your child up. This encourages children to run across the active line of carpool traffic and is hazardous. If you need to come in during carpool times, first drop off or pick up your child, then pull forward, park out of the way and walk in.
9. Several factors are crucial to maintaining a steady flow during carpool time. Communication between carpool staff and parents is prohibited. If a message is essential, please proceed through the carpool lane and pull over out of the flow of traffic. Messages to the teacher or office must be written and can be handed to the person escorting your child from the car. Please place correspondence in a clearly marked envelope.
Young children need a dependable schedule. The classroom is a collaborative community that has a definitive schedule. It is upsetting to a child if he/she is often "out-of-sync" with the rest of the class. Please avoid unnecessary late arrivals, which can be frustrating for your child and disruptive to the class. It is vital that your child arrives to school on time. Students who are tardy must present a written note from the parent or legal guardian. More than three late arrivals will result in meeting with administration and the child's teacher. Tardiness and absenteeism is reported daily to the front office, reported to the state, and kept on file. When your child leaves VMS this is part of the records that the new school receives. Excessive tardiness and absenteeism is also reported to the state department of Family and Children Services. Excessive tardiness is grounds for dismissal.
If, for any reason, your child is not in class on a school day, a note explaining his absence must accompany your child on their return to class. Children in grades K-12 are required to be in school. Excessive absenteeism is reported to the state.
Entering - To reduce traffic on Steeple Run, if you arrive during non-carpool times, you may use the entrance near our mailbox.
Exiting - When exiting our driveway toward Steeple Run, visibility is limited, yield to traffic traveling north on Steeple Run.
Out of respect for staff schedules, your child and other parents who pay for extended care, the fees for late pick-ups are designed to encourage you to be on time every day.
Toddler carpool ends at 11:50am.
Noon carpool ends at 12:10pm.
Three o'clock carpool ends at 3:10pm.
You will be charged $1.00 per minute. If you anticipate being more than 15 minutes late, a call is appreciated.
Habitual late pick-ups will be subject to additional fees and a meeting with administration.
Children who are not picked up by 3:10 or on time from extra- curricular activities will be sent to after-school and late fees will apply.
The before and after school programs are offered as a courtesy to our working parents. It is a program that parents sign up for when enrolling. If it becomes necessary during the year and space is available parents may add this additional program. Activities and personnel needs are planned according to the number of children on the roster. Therefore, this program is not to be used on a drop in basis unless there is an emergency. In an emergency please call the school to let us know. We will be glad to help you by making an exception for emergencies and accommodate your children. Please remember it is for emergencies only. After school snacks will consist of fruits and vegetables only.
In the event of inclement weather, watch TV 11 Alive for school closings or check their website. Our closings will also be posted on the VMS Facebook page. VMS closes or stays open independently of area county closings, so it is very important to stay informed through these means.
Classes are in session after 8:45 a.m. Parents and other visitors may not proceed past the reception desk without signing in. All Visitors to the school will sign in at the front office and wear a name tag.
Parents are encouraged to observe their child's class as well as other classes. Observation of a class in progress is an exciting experience. However, in order to maintain the orderly environment, and out of respect for the child's work pattern, we have certain guidelines and suggestions. Observations will begin after October 1st. Parents are welcome to observe in their child's class; however, we ask that you please make an appointment if you wish to visit. The size of the classroom permits only two people to observe at a time. We ask that when you observe, you remain as unobtrusive as possible so the natural activities of the children can be sustained for your observation. If you have any questions arising out of your classroom observation, please feel free to schedule an appointment with your child's teacher, as well as with our Director of Education. Prior to entering a classroom, Observation Guidelines will be given for you to read. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines. There will be no routine parent observations during the first month of the school term.
VMS strives to create a safe, loving and supportive environment. Our staff is highly qualified to guide and direct children along the path of development. Children will be taught what is and is not acceptable behavior and encouraged to participate in cooperative learning. Consistent guidelines will be set and discussed with the children.
1. All classroom and playground rules and procedures will be clearly outlined and explained to all students.
2. All staff will apply rules and limitations consistently.
3. All children will be treated with respect and empathy.
4. Children will be encouraged to learn to interact with respect for one another, to manage conflict and to cooperate without an adult's direct intervention. However, if the teacher believes intervention is necessary, he/she will intervene to achieve this result.
 Physical aggression such as hitting, kicking, biting or pushing.
 Purposeful destruction of the school's or other children's property.
 Excessive outbursts or frequent "temper tantrums," such as throwing items, screaming or hurting self and others.
 Consistent refusal to adhere to or cooperate with teacher's instruction or the classroom rules, schedules or procedures, especially in a manner which might create hazards for self and others.
When a child poses a threat to himself or others in the classroom, or any other behavior threatens the integrity of the classroom, the child will be sent to the office to meet with an Administrator and an incident report will be filed. Removing a child from the classroom occurs rarely; however, this action will be at the discretion of the teacher if she/he deems it necessary for the welfare of the entire classroom. If the behavior is necessary, the parents will be requested to come immediately to pick up the child. In this event, you must make arrangements to have your child picked up from school. If any of the above behaviors are frequent, parents will be consulted and suggestions for addressing these behaviors may involve contacting the Fulton County Dept. of Family and Children's Services or the special education department in the local school system or a child psychologist or professional. Parents who enroll their children in VMS must be willing to fully cooperate in addressing the special needs of their child.
Village Montessori School retains the right to dismiss a family or student for any reason deemed appropriate by the Administration.
See your level handbook for specific discipline behavior policies.
Communication between parents and Village Montessori teachers and staff is crucial. If you need to speak with your child's teacher, please send in a note or call the office and leave a message to schedule an appointment. The faculty is unable to speak at length during school hours while children are present. An appointment can be set up after school.
Please remember the children require the teacher's attention on the playground and during carpool, as well as in the classroom. These are not appropriate times to talk with staff members.
Do not solicit information about your child from any staff member other than your child's lead teacher. It is school policy that no one on staff other than the lead teacher or an administrator communicates with parents in matters of their child's behavior or gives advice on that subject. If you have questions or concerns about any administrative issues, please contact the office.
Please do not place items in staff mailboxes, please hand them to the front office.
If you have any questions regarding your child or your child's classroom, please write a note or leave a message for your child's teacher and he/she will contact you promptly.
If you have any questions regarding your tuition payment account or other program accounts, you may discuss with Annmarie or Debbie (our bookkeeper).
If you have any questions regarding tuition policies or procedures, Annmarie will be happy to help you.
If you have any questions regarding the classroom in general, teacher, or other Montessori or education related questions, Patricia will be happy to help you.
If you have any other general questions or concern, please contact Patricia (Director of Education), Annmarie (School Coordinator), Catherine (Office Assistant), or Nancy (Administrative Assistant).
VMS maintains a collection of books and articles which parents may borrow to learn more about Montessori education or parenting. Since these items are limited, please return them after one (1) week. A sign-out/sign-in sheet is provided to check out an item. Please ask for assistance from the office staff.
Each year VMS conducts a workshop for parents and others interested in being considered as a substitute in the classroom when a staff member is absent. The class will give information about classroom activities and appropriate and effective ways of interacting.
Volunteers are always welcome at VMS and there are numerous opportunities to volunteer and get involved in school activities. A volunteer form will be given out at orientation and will allow you to mark the particular areas in which you would be interested in helping. These sheets are referred to throughout the year, and we attempt to use our parent body as much as possible in various areas of expertise. If you have a skill or talent that is not listed on the sheet, please contact the office or your child's teacher.
 No child's picture or information may be submitted to be made public without prior permission from VMS administration.
 Notices, flyers and newsletters, written or electronic, are to be submitted to the office for review prior to distributing to parents or community. If you need to post announcements or posters please check with front office before doing so.
 Approved information to be distributed to staff or parents need not be mailed – we have a system set up for distribution. Please submit by Tuesday morning to go out with Thursday's folders.
 Please remember confidentiality is important, do not discuss any child or family, and conduct yourself in a professional manner.
Philosophy: The VMS parents' association acts as a support for VMS. The Parent Association supports parents and the goals and spiritual growth of VMS.
1. Parent support - The VMS-PA provides an opportunity for parents to not only interact in organized settings, but also an informal way for social interaction and mutual support for families with similar needs and values, with a goal of building a sense of community and providing a substitute "extended family" for our families.
Membership: All parents of children enrolled at VMS are members of the Parent Association. Meetings will be held periodically throughout the year and dues of $25.00 is requested from members. This small fee funds social events, seminars, festivals, family picnics, etc.
 School Book Fairs: The money raised will be distributed evenly between our classes for classroom books.
 Auction/Spring Gala: This event raises money for the Village Montessori Scholarship Fund.
 Classes: Upper Elementary and Middle School may raise funds throughout the year for special year end trips or for the Adolescent micro-economy.
When parents choose to enroll their children in Village Montessori School, they agree to support our mission statement, follow rules and guidelines set out in the Parent Handbook, and abide by Village Montessori policies.
 Demonstrate respect for all adults and children, the school and the school's programs.
 Strive to parent according to Montessori principles.
 Maintain active, direct and respectful communication with the school.
 We strive to fulfill our missions as an AMI Montessori school.
 We aim to maintain open, honest, timely and respectful communication with you about your child and about information affecting the school community.
 We strive to ensure that the environment is physically and emotionally safe and supportive, as well as aesthetically beautiful.
 We work hard to ensure that the school building and grounds are physically safe, secure and well maintained.
As a parent at VMS I acknowledge and agree that a positive and constructive working relationship between VMS and parents is essential to the fulfillment of the VMS educational purpose and operation. I understand, therefore, that VMS considers such relationships in enrollment or re-enrollment decisions. I further agree to support and comply with VMS rules and standards of community participation and individual conduct as outlined in the Parent Handbook and this Agreement.
• I will support the policies and procedures of VMS and work together with faculty and staff in a positive manner.
• Any concerns or questions regarding classroom procedures and policies will be brought to the teacher.

WHERE La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Dr., La Jolla, CA
Developed through the 2018 DNA New Works Series, playwright Keith Burn and director Tyne Rafaeli bring to life a story that Rich Family Artistic Directior Christopher Ashley says is "an empathetic and humane tribute to all the people who – like [Keith], and like me – came to California chasing a dream."
The Coast Starlight follows a young man who, one morning, boards the Coast Starlight, the long-distance train that runs from Los Angeles to Seattle. He's got a secret that can land him in terrible trouble, and he has roughly one thousand miles to enlist the help of his fellow travelers – all of whom are reckoning with their own choices in search of a way forward.
Keith Bunin's new play is a smart, funny and compassionate story about our capacity for invention and re-invention when life goes off the rails.
*Performance times subject to change. Please refer to our website. Student, military, and senior discounts available.

HoW College has the CODE for success!
Following a generous investment from the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (WLEP), Heart of Worcestershire College (HoW College) is excited for the launch of its new Centre of Digital Engineering (CODE) on Wednesday 3rd October 2018.
HoW College's St Andrew's Building in Worcester has been transformed into a modern, state-of-the-art campus with a Virtual Reality Studio, equipped with both virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality headsets and a Data Centre, supported by the organisation's partner Simply Hosting, giving students access to equipment used to build commercial networks.
With the launch of CODE, HoW College will work closely with local employers and partners to develop its curriculum to address skills shortages in the technology sector and to expand its provision of STEM subjects.
Talking about the launch, Principal and CEO, Stuart Laverick said:
"As the sector continues to evolve and new technologies become available, so must the facilities that students use to learn. This new facility will provide students with access to cutting edge technology that allows them to learn the skills they need as they prepare for a career in technology, and I would like to thank Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership, business partners and the team who expertly delivered the high quality facility on-time and within budget."
Gary Woodman, Chief Executive of Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership added:
"It is great to see development of Heart of Worcestershire College's new Centre of Digital Engineering. Investment in state-of-the-art facilities like this will enable Worcestershire to be at the cutting edge of developing the digital technology skills required of our local workforce. "
Commenting on the project, Abhinav Mathur, Commercial Manager at Simply Hosting said:
"Over the past few years Simply Hosting has been working in partnership with Heart of Worcestershire College. We recognise the benefit of state-of-the-art equipment and a positive learning environment on the budding talent for the technical industry and we wanted to support the project in any way we could."
The CODE facilities will be open for viewing between 4:30pm and 7pm on Wednesday 3rd October 2018.

But rather than spend big bucks on a commercial enterprise resource planning suite, the company decided to try open source technology from OpenERP, a relatively little known vendor based in Belgium.
Six months later, it's a move that appears to have paid off, says co-founder Kathy Moca, president and co-founder of Beija-Flor, a small business that supplies Brazilian-made jeans to about 300 boutique stores in the U.S.
"It cost us less than half of what it would have cost if we had gone with a commercial solution," she said. And it has been much easier to customize and mold OpenERP to their needs than it would have been possible with a commercial product, she said.
OpenERP is hoping that such customer experiences are what will help propel the company to the same sort of success in the U.S. that it claims to have had in Europe and Asia.
The company recently opened its first office in the U.S. as part of a broader expansion strategy that is being fueled by a $4.2 million investment by a European investor in April.
It aims to set up a network of partners to help customers integrate the software into their business environments.
Earlier this week, OpenERP rolled out a new, more modular version of its software that allows companies to download only the specific components they need, instead of the whole suite as they needed to until now.
OpenERP is written in Python and integrates a full range of business applications such as CRM, purchase management, manufacturing, warehouse management, accounting and human resources.
OpenERP has separate server and client components both of which are available for free under a GPL license. The latest version, OpenERP v6, allows customers to download just the applications they need and quickly add more as needed.
The company's revenues come from hosting the application for customers under a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, and from maintenance and support contracts, said Marc Laporte, the company's chief operating officer.
For customers that choose to host the software themselves, OpenERP sells a publisher warranty that covers issues such as bug fixes, security alerts and support for migrations to new versions of the technology, Laporte said.
OpenERP software that is available for free onsite use is exactly the same as that offered on the SaaS platform, so companies that download the software and those that have it hosted get the same functionality.
OpenERP charges $39 per user per month for the hosted version of the software. The publisher warranty costs $3,800 per year for an on-site OpenERP implementation with up to 25 users.
The price points are less than one-third of what companies would pay for comparable functionality with a commercial suite, Laporte said. "It leaves customers with money for customization," if needed, he said.
Steven Moca, technology consultant for Beija-Flor, said that while the software is relatively easy to use and implement, companies -- especially smaller ones -- will still need some hand-holding.
"OpenERP appears to be trying to bring the dynamics of Open Source to the ERP space, said Al Hilwa, an analyst with IDC. A few other companies such as OpenBravo, Compiere and SugarCRM have also been offering similar software for sometime now.
Hilwa said SugarCRM appears to be the one with "some level of scale with this approach."
Besides the cost aspect, OpenERP gives users the ability to inspect and customize the code, he said. "This approach might appeal to a segment of users who are willing to tinker with the code and take active participation in the feature development," Hilwa said.
"Most ERP buyers are generally looking for ready-made solutions, however, over time they have had to invest a great deal in configuring big ERP systems to meet their needs," he said. So the relatively easier customization enabled by open source tools can be an advantage he said. "SMB is definitely the sweet spot for this,' he said.

Facts about Spain
OFFICIAL NAME: Kingdom of Spain
FORM OF GOVERNMENT: Parliamentary monarchy
CAPITAL: Madrid
POPULATION: 47, 909, 753
OFFICIAL LANGUAGES: Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque
MONEY: Euro
AREA: 505,988 square kilometres
MAJOR MOUNTAIN RANGES: Pyrenees, Sierra de Guadarrama, Sierra de Gredos, Sierra Nevada

Map of Spain
Spain: geography and landscape
Spain occupies most of Europe's Iberian Peninsula, stretching south from the Pyrenees Mountains to the Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Spain from Africa. To the east lies the Mediterranean Sea and Spain"s Balearic Islands. Spain also rules two cities in North Africa, Ceuta and Melilla, and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
The interior of Spain is a high, dry plateau surrounded and crisscrossed by mountain ranges. Rivers run to the coasts, creating rich soils that are good for farming. Still, the interior of the country gets very cold in winter, and very hot and dry in summer.
The north coast of this amazing country is called "Green Spain". This is because the mild, wet climate of the region allows lush plants and trees, such as beech and oak, to flourish.
The southern and eastern coasts of Spain, from the fertile Andalusian plain up to the Pyrenees, are often swept by warm winds called "sirocco" winds. These winds originate in northern Africa and keep temperatures along the Mediterranean coast warmer than the interior.
Spain's wildlife and nature
A link between Europe and Africa, Spain is an important resting spot for migratory birds. It is also home to magnificent mammals including wolves, lynxes, wildcats, foxes and deer – and fab fish such as barbel, tench and trout can be found in the country's streams and lakes.
Sadly, many species of wildlife are under threat from habitat loss and pollution. Due to centuries of tree cutting, large forests are now only found in the north Pyrenees and the Asturias-Galicia area. River pollution is also a problem in parts of Spain, putting Spain's aquatic species at risk.
To help protect wildlife, Spain has created national parks and refuges. One protected area is Doñana National Park, a region of marshes, streams and sand dunes where the Guadalquivir River flows into the Atlantic. The park"s diversity of life is unique in Europe and includes the European badger, Egyptian mongoose and endangered species such as the Spanish imperial eagle and the Iberian lynx.
History of Spain
Settlers have migrated to Spain from Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean since the dawn of history. The Phoenicians, who came in the 8th century B.C., called the peninsula "Span," or "hidden land". By the first century B.C. the Romans had conquered Spain.
Spain became mostly Christian under the Romans, who were followed by Germanic tribes from Europe called the Vandals and the Visigoths. The Visigoth rulers fought among themselves, and in A.D. 711 Muslims from Africa invaded Spain.
Islamic culture spread across Spain, as Muslim rulers introduced new crops and irrigation systems, and increased trading. Mathematics, medicine and philosophy became more advanced, peaking in the tenth century – the golden age of Islamic rule in Spain.
In 1492 Christian kingdoms in northern Spain conquered the Muslims and spread the Catholic religion. Enriched by silver from the Americas, Spain grew more powerful and influential. It later lost land and power, however, in the Napoleonic Wars, which ended in 1815.
More than 500,000 people died in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. The victorious General Francisco Franco ruled as a brutal dictator until his death in 1975. Soon after, Spain began to transform itself into a modern, industrial and democratic European nation.
Spanish people and culture
Many Spaniards share a common ethnic background – a mixture of the early inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, the Celts, and later conquerors from Europe and Africa. Recent immigrants from North Africa and Latin America have added to the mix of people and culture, too.
Spaniards are known for their love of life and for eating and drinking with family and friends. Traditional appetizers like tapas or pintxos (the Basque Country equivalent) are popular. Regional music and dances, such as fandango and flamenco, are an important part of Spanish culture, as well as religious festivals and, of course, football – the country's national sport!
Government and economy
Spain is a constitutional monarchy, with the king and the elected president sharing the power. Spain is one of the most "decentralised" democracies in Europe – although there is a national parliament that governs the country, each of Spain's 17 regions manages its own schools, hospitals and other public services.
With vibrant, historic cities and sunny beaches, Spain attracts more tourists than any other European country, except France. In 1986 Spain joined the European Union and further modernised its economy. In addition to tourism, other important industries include machinery, shipbuilding, food, beverages, and textiles.

Home » Uncategorized » Is Your House Ready For Christmas Viewings?
Getting your home in shape, looking and feeling great and trying to keep it in a constant state of readiness to attract a buyer can seem a bit of a chore, but at this time of the year you might feel at a distinct disadvantage. Lofts all over the country are being ventured into for the first time since last Christmas and dusty boxes of decorations are being opened ready to be spread around the home.
It's easy to think that this could make it difficult to present your property in a positive light, but all the colors, sparkle and lovely smells of Christmas can be a real winner when it comes to making your home feel pretty, cosy and somewhere that's sure to stick in your viewer's minds.
Following just a few tips could see you signing on the dotted line before you've finished the leftover turkey!
We've all heard of the old trick of baking fresh bread before a viewing to entice your viewers to feel positive about your home and as much of a tired cliche as it may seem there is some scientific basis to the point. Studies have shown that scents do affect people's moods and 'The Scientific American' has an interesting article about the phenomenon.
Bake some lovely Christmas cookies or some sweet smelling Gingerbread and get your viewers reminiscing, misty eyed, about Christmas's past. Plus you can butter them up with warm, tasty treats after the formalities are over!
Not only do they add a lovely festive touch to your home but they smell fantastically festive too! Reinforcing that festive feel and giving your viewers a positive association to take away from your home. There are plenty of tutorials online and Simple Bites offers a quick and simple example that can even get the kids involved. If home crafts isn't your thing, lots of gift shops will have them at this time of year.
Use Christmas decorations to your advantage by following the simple principles of keeping things tidy and tasteful. A splash of color, some Holly and Mistletoe arranged around fireplaces and strategically placed around the home can really boost the 'WOW' factor. Have a look at the latest interior design magazines as they always have useful articles around this time of the year. Good Homes Magazine is a good place to start for some festive inspiration.
Christmas is all about spreading the light in the darkest part of winter, so make sure you use the sparkle to create a vision that stands out in the dark! Hang some tinsel, light some festive candles and get that fire on! This is the one time of the year when you can have as many twinkling lights as you like, so light up the outside of your home and give your viewers a lovely festive entrance. Making your home stand out from the crowd will stay in your viewer's minds all the way to the New Year! Just bear in mind that tasteful and chic is the look we are going for, check out some interior design magazines and have a look through some web based articles to see what this year's trends are, Ideal Home is great place to get some inspiration.
So there you have it! Use the festive period to create a beautiful, tasteful, sweet smelling and sparkly wonderland to welcome your viewers in and have them leave full of the Christmas spirit! It might just tip the balance in your viewers mind and have them wanting to make your home, their home!
Book your valuation HERE and have yourself a very merry Christmas!

Ohio Man Arrested for Creating Parody Facebook Page of Local Police Department
By Alexandra Simone | March 28, 2016
Could you be arrested for attempting to be funny on social media? Apparently, yes. A 27-year-old man named Anthony Novak from Parma, Ohio is facing criminal charges for creating a Facebook account that parodied the Parma City Police Department.
The account confused people from all over the city of Parma as the two accounts were almost identical, except for what they were posting. While the real police department page featured posts about local happenings and updates surrounding crime in Parma, the parody account had satirical posts about the requirements to become a Parma police officer and other supposedly "inflammatory topics." In one such post, Novak wrote
The Parma Civil Service Commission will conduct a written exam for basic Police Officer for the City of Parma to establish an eligibility list. The exam will be held on March 12, 2016. Applications are available February 14, 2016 through March 2, 2016. Parma is an equal opportunity employer but is strongly encouraging minorities not to apply. The test will consist of a 15 question multiple choice definition test followed by a hearing test. Should you pass you will be accepted as an officer of the Parma Police Department.
In response to the parody posts being shared on the fake account's wall, the Parma Police department posted a statement to warn its followers about the Parma fraud:
The Parma Police Department would like to warn the public that a fake Parma Police Facebook page has been created. This matter is currently being investigated by the Parma Police Department and Facebook. This is the Parma Police Department's official Facebook page. The public should disregard any and all information posted on the fake Facebook account.
Novak is facing potential felony charges for disrupting public services through his use of satire on his parody account. The question of whether or not this is an infringement on Novak's freedom of speech has been brought up in the conversation about if he should be charged. Lieutenant Kevin Riley argues that the material posted on the fake website caused a risk to public safety because of its inflammatory and derogatory nature. Because this material crossed the line from funny satire to potentially harmful, Novak's arguments are criminal.
Did Novak's satire cause any harm to the citizens of Parma? The answer is unclear. Some people voiced a love of the parody on twitter.
The fake city of Parma police department page was hilarious 😹😹
— Abby Roetzel (@abbyroetzel) March 3, 2016
Others voiced their irritation with the account in attempt to try to clarify what was going on for confused onlookers.
Somebody set up a fake Parma Police Department Facebook page. The REAL Police are working with FACEBOOK to shut it down.
— Scott Taylor (@ScottTaylorTV) March 2, 2016
Regardless of the public opinion, Novak will appear before a grand jury next week to determine whether or not he should face any charges for his actions. Ever since his arrest, several parody accounts on Facebook have popped up in his absence claiming to be sticking up for free speech. This case certainly poses an interesting question about how far is too far when it comes to satire and could be setting a dangerous precedent by telling someone they will face jail time for a parody Facebook account.

Smithsonian Air & Space Museum (Udvar-Hazy Center) - Howard University Middle School of Math and Science (Washington, D.C.)
On October 30, the Percy Julian Institute sponsored a field trip for 30 Howard University Middle School of Math and Science students. They visited the Mission to Mars exhibit where they explored the climate and geology of Mars, along with the challenges of robotic exploration in space. They also visited the McDonnell Space Hangar where they explored the Space Shuttle Discovery and other space artifacts that trace our history, science, and technology in space.
Howard University Hospital Trauma Center - Walker Mill Middle School (Capitol Heights, MD)
On October 25, 2018, the Percy Julian Institute sponsored a field trip for ten Walker Mill Middle School students to Howard University's Trauma Center. The students learned what the Trauma Center does after receiving a 911, the types of cases brought to the Trauma Center, the information conveyed to the Center so it's prepared for the arrival of the ambulance, assessments made by the receiving medical team, and the necessary emergency medical procedures.
Students toured the Trauma Center where the staff discussed their respective roles and the opportunities available in medical careers. The students enjoyed getting an "inside" look at how the Center functions. On the event evaluations, several students said they are now considering careers in a medical field.
Smithsonian Museum of African Art - Stonewall Middle School (Manassas, VA)
On October 23, 2018, the Percy Julian Institute sponsored a field trip for 25 Stonewall Middle School students to the Smithsonian Museum of African Art. The students received a specially customized STEAM (STEM + the Arts) tour that demonstrated the impact of STEM on Art. The docents provided background regarding the purpose and meaning of the historical pieces of art and the technology used to do the craftsmanship. Students examined objects and learn about the ideas that impacted African art and much more.
From the evaluations, the students had a great time. Many were pleased to learn about their heritage. The chaperones shared that for many of the students, this trip was the first time at a museum.

LINGUASKILL – Lectura ampliada (nivel B2)
Read the following text and answer the questions below.
Kombat Kate
James Stanton meets 'Kombat Kate' Waters, who trains theatre actors in how to 'fight' on stage.
There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to head-butt someone you've just met! But I'm in one of those right now. I'm in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. I've already dragged her around the room and slapped her on the arm. Now she wants me to head-butt her. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend!
'Imagine there's a tin can on my shoulder,' she says. 'Now try to knock it off.' I lower my head as instructed, then lift it sharply, aiming for the imaginary can, hoping desperately that I don't miscalculate the angle and end up doing damage to her face. To my amazement, I get it right. 'That was good,' says Waters. 'Now maybe try it again without smiling.'
Waters, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is showing me how actors fight each other without getting hurt, and that includes sword-fighting. (She inspires fierce devotion: when I tweet that I'm meeting Waters, one actress friend responds: 'She's amazing. She taught me how to be a secret service agent in two days.')
Perhaps the most famous play Kate has worked on recently was called Noises Off. She taught the cast how to fall down stairs without breaking any bones. One of the fight scenes is fairly close, Kate tells me, to the one we're trying out now. 'I've just slowed it down a bit,' she says tactfully, before inviting me to throw her against the wall. I obey, making sure I let go of her quickly, so she can control her own movement. Push your opponent too hard, and they will hit the wall for real. I watch her hit the wall before falling to the ground.
She's fine, of course. 'That's my party trick,' she says with a grin. 'Works every time.'
Once the lesson is over Kate tells me how she became one of only two women on the official register of stage fight directors. Already a keen martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one module of her course introduced her to stage combat. When she made enquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told (line 22) about the register and the qualifications she'd need to be accepted onto it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage combat, she would need a black belt in karate and proficiency in fencing, a sport she'd never tried before.
But she rose to the challenge and taught the subject for several years at a drama college before going freelance and becoming a fight advisor for the theatrical world. The play she's working on is Shakespeare's Richard III. This involves a famous sword fight. With no instructions left by the great playwright other than –
Enter Richard and Richmond: they fight, Richard dies – the style and sequence of the fight is down to Kate and the actors.
'I try to get as much information as possible about what a fight would have been like in a particular period,' Kate explains. 'But because what I'm eventually doing is telling a dramatic story, not all of it is useful. The scene has to be exciting and do something for the audience.' (Line 30)
Ultimately, of course, a stage fight is all smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a choreographed slap or punch. When the slap comes it makes contact not with skin but with air: the actor whacks his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.
In the rehearsal room, I can't resist asking Kate how she thinks she would fare in a real fight. Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs, 'Oh, I'd be awful,' she says. 'I only know how to fake it.' I can't help thinking, however, that she's just being rather modest.

Marty Robbins Performs"Big Iron"Live Video.
"Big Iron" is a country ballad written and performed by Marty Robbins, originally released as an album track on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in September 1959, then as a single in February 1960 with the song "Saddle Tramp" as the B-side single. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.
It tells the story of an Arizona Ranger's duel with an outlaw named Texas Red in the "town of Agua Fria". The townspeople predict the death of the Ranger, Texas Red having already killed "one and nineteen men", but the Ranger kills Texas Red with the swiftness of the "big iron on his hip." This term refers to the gun the Ranger carries. Texas Red hadn't even "cleared leather" - the Ranger's draw was that swift.
Robbins's version of the song reached #5 on the Billboard Country chart and #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1960
Marty Robbins Big Iron lyrics
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say,
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip,
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around
"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip
"And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip,
Big iron on his hip"
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more,
One and nineteen more
Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He was here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red,
After Texas Red
Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry, men who tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip,
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
Now the morning passed so quickly and it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they rode out in the street
Folks were watchin' from their windows,
Every body held their breath,
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death,
About to meet his death
There was twenty feet between them
When they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the Ranger still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip,
It was over in a moment and the crowd all gathered 'round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on livin' but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
Big iron, big iron,
Oh he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,

Inspired by the fashion district of Vendome in Paris, we worked with Bentley, Belvedere, Fashion TV and Quintessential to create a high quality experience. Mojo remodelled the space previously occupied by Pangaea a very successful but tired operation.
Various vip areas were designed to reflect detailing specific to each brand such as the typical leather stitching found in a Bentley. A rotating dj booth together with catwalks around the dance floor created a dynamic environment. Booths were added around the dance floor which were inspired by handbags and naturally, gold leaf was applied to the arches in the washroom areas.
