It's been a long and hopefully not too rocky road and in a mere six months your child is going to graduate high school. As hard as it is to accept, they have grown up. Before you send them off to college and careers, show them just how proud you are of them for all of their hard work and incredible accomplishments with an ad in their senior yearbook. You can add personal photos, special memories and a unique message to honor and congratulate them in a way they'll be able to cherish for years to come.
○ Take some time to pen a personal, sentimental message for your graduate. Tell them how proud you are and why. You could even include memories, inside jokes and nicknames.
○ Many times, a quote close to a senior's heart and/or representative of who they are will be included on the ad. Some parents choose to include meaningful Bible verses as well.
Please contact me to receive more information or to request an order form. It is our sincere wish for every senior parent/guardian to have the opportunity to reserve a space in the yearbook for your student. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.

We invite you to participate in try-outs for the singing of the National Anthem and Musical accompaniment to be performed at our upcoming May Graduation Ceremony.
Auditions will be held on Tuesday, April 14th in the theater room beginning at 3:30pm.
Students with a minimum cumulative grade point average (un-weighted or weighted) of 3.5 may apply to be CORE Butte Charter School's Valedictorian. Once the Valedictorian has been selected, an additional applicant will be selected as Salutatorian.
The word valedictorian is derived from two words of the Latin language: "vale," which means good-bye, and "dicere," which means to speak. Thus, the valedictorian is the one who says good-bye. The duty of the valedictorian is to offer the formal speech of farewell from the graduating class to the school. It is the opportunity for the valedictorian to articulate the gratitude of all graduates for the education they have received.
Another honor often awarded at graduation is that of salutatorian, which comes from the Latin, 'salutare,' to greet. The salutatorian traditionally gives a speech of welcome to those assembled for commencement.
Unfortunately, the true purposes of the valedictorian and salutatorian are often obscured by the competition to acquire the honors, with the result that many perceive the honors as individual prizes. However, both honors reflect much more than individual accomplishment; they represent an opportunity to serve both the graduating class and the school during the commencement ceremony.
The Valedictorian and Salutatorian will address the students, parents, family members, friends, and staff members with a short speech. As you will read later, the committee will help those selected to design and deliver a great speech.
We utilize three main criteria to select a Valedictorian and Salutatorian and reserve the right to select multiple representatives. This is a subjective process, decided upon by a committee, so there is no "formula" to being selected or not selected.
1.	Academic record: Though the minimum GPA to apply is a 3.5, it is certainly better to have earned higher grades in a rigorous course of study throughout your high school career. We will also be looking at your academic record as evidenced by your transcript, test scores, and work samples. We will also consider how you challenged yourself with the opportunities available to you.
o	Describe how you represent your senior class student body as well as all students.
o	Describe your accomplishments while at our CORE Butte Charter School.
o	What are your future plans?
o	How have you challenged yourself with the opportunities available to you?
How long and articulate should your letter be? Here are two thoughts: (1) long enough to address the question to the satisfaction of the committee and (2) probably less than a page is not enough.
3.	Letters of recommendation: Provide the Valedictorian Committee with two letters of recommendation from friends, family members, teachers, etc.; anyone who knows you well and can comment on your strengths and accomplishments. If you have three people (or four, or five….) that you absolutely have to have letters from, that is fine. More letters will not increase your chances of becoming Valedictorian or Salutatorian, but if it helps to paint a broader, more complete picture of you, it would be appropriate.
In all of this process, please be sincere. Nobody is perfect, and neither do we expect you to be! Although every applicant will bring unique qualifications for consideration, our goal is to evaluate each one and choose the individual who will best represent your class at graduation. A copy of the rubric used is included with this letter.
Submit this packet to Marlene Brenden at the CORE Butte Cohasset Center or USPS mail (see address below) so that it arrives at the CORE Butte Cohasset Chico Center Office by 4:00 pm on Thursday, April 2nd. NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED. You will be notified by email or by phone on or before Thursday, April 9th.
For both the Salutatorian and Valedictorian, a draft speech will be submitted to the Valedictorian Committee by Thursday, April 30th. On Friday, May 8th at 10:00 am, you will be expected to present your speech to the committee. If your speech is not submitted by the due date you risk losing the honor of speaking.

It is time to go to the Butte College website (http://www.butte.edu/) and complete your application for REG2GO. Remember going through the REG2GO process, you are NOT committing to attending Butte in Summer/Fall of 2015, but instead leaving a door open. If your Plan A involves attending Butte then you will be able to register for your Summer/Fall 2015 classes on April 24, 2015 - prior to your high school graduation date. If Butte is your Plan B, C, D or even Z - then you are just giving yourself an option if your Plan A doesn't work out.
If you are a December graduate and attending Butte in January 2015, you should be completing the process on your own. If you are a December graduate and want to attend Butte next Summer/Fall 2015 for your first time, you MAY do the REG2GO process with CORE.
March 6 - Assessment - Time TBD - will be offered in sessions beginning early morning to early afternoon.
The first step in the process is applying. In a couple months I will be sending out an email asking for your student ID #, which assessment session you are signing up for, or if you have already completed your assessments at a previous time. I will also ask: DID YOU APPLY TO BUTTE COLLEGE AS A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE? If you have applied to Butte as a Concurrent Enrollment student that does not count. YOU MUST RE-APPLY AND CHOOSE "Entry Level-First Time Student in College (after leaving high school)". I have attached a guide to applying with a Step-by-Step Process. Make sure to keep track of your ID#.
"I am the coordinator for the Foster Youth Program at Butte College, which has been named Inspiring Scholars. The goal of Inspiring Scholars is to help current and former foster youth get into college, stay in college, and reach their academic goals- be that an associate's degree or transfer to another college or university.
If you are working with a foster youth who wants to attend Butte College, please direct them to us. Also, we have noticed that some students are not indicating they are foster youth on their application to Butte College. This may be because they miss the box, or may be due to stigma. Please encourage foster youth to check the box indicating they are (or were previously) in foster care. It makes them eligible for several benefits on campus."
Butte College's REG2GO program allows current seniors, considering attending Butte College in the Summer/Fall of 2015, to complete the components required to register for Butte College during the Spring semester of their senior year. This program greatly benefits our students, as it affords them early registration priority for their classes.
More information will be posted as these dates get closer but mark your calendars NOW!! This is also posted on the Announcements Page of the Counselor page at corebutte.org and on the Counseling Events Calendar viewable on our website.
HOW: Get a Registration Packet and complete - make sure ALL information requested is completed. Get a PO from teacher for $150 or pay by check (Payable to CORE Butte Charter School). Return Registration and PO/check to Marlene Brenden at the Cohasset Site by December 18th, 2014 @ 12:00 pm.
Registration Packets will be sent to ALL PLT's and available at the front desk of each center.
If you have not turned in your GPA Verification Form (Yellow Sheet) please do so ASAP! I will begin submitting those soon. This is to see if you qualify for Cal Grant money.
Join us on Saturday, February 7th when Zariel Torres, Financial Aid Assistant at Butte College, facilitates the workshop. He will give a brief presentation on important Financial Aid information and then be available to answer questions as you complete the FAFSA in our computer lab.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EMAIL!!
Second semester has arrived and graduation is not far away!
The purpose of this email is to remind you BUTTE College's Reg2Go program and the required steps.
Your first job is to go to the Butte website and apply as a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!
The quote is to keep you motivated with an eye on your future. It is common during this time to lose momentum - and that is when grades start to slip and teacher's notice students just aren't engaged. Stay focused! You can do it!
ALL of your decisions have consequences so make the good decisions and receive the good consequences. Instead of slacking off on work - accelerate and get it done early. Instead of saying "I don't know what I want to do!" just keep one foot in front of the other (or your boat in the current for those of you who have heard my stay in your boat and float talk) and move in the direction of your future. Reg2Go is one way to do that. You may not be sure you want to go to Butte next year or you may have other plans right now. I encourage you to complete the Reg2Go process so you have options. Participating in Reg2Go does not require you to attend Butte - it is just an option - an open door!
KEEP READING - DON'T GIVE UP YET!
Butte College recently sent letters to student's homes with information about Reg2Go. If you didn't receive the mailing, I am attaching what they sent to this email. The letters will explain in detail what Reg2Go is all about in case you don't know.
IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO ALREADY - AFTER YOU READ THIS EMAIL PLEASE GO TO THE BUTTE WEB PAGE AND APPLY AS A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!
ALMOST DONE - KEEP READING!
The next email I send will be asking for your Butte College ID number and the only way to get that is to apply. If you attended Butte as a high school student you already have an ID number but you MUST apply again as a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE (you will keep the same number). Doing so tells Butte you are no longer a high school student and they reclassify you as a college student for priority registration for this Summer and next Fall.
When asked if you are a high school graduate - CLICK YES!
When asked if you are participating in REG2GO - CLICK YES!
When asked for an Educational Goal - pick one!! It can be changed later.
Get your ID number because the next email I send will be asking you for your ID# and to pick a time for your assessment on March 7th. If you have completed both assessments already and are happy with your results you will not be required to attend on March 7th.
OK You can stop reading now!

Jacob van Hulsdonck (* 1582 in Antwerpen; † 1647 ebenda) war ein flämischer Stilllebenmaler. Er spielte eine Rolle bei der frühen Entwicklung des Genres der Blumenstücke, Fruchtstücke und Banketjes (Imbissbilder).

Biografie

Jacob van Hulsdonck wurde 1582 in Antwerpen geboren. Nachdem seine Eltern nach Middelburg gezogen waren, verbrachte er dort seine Jugend und Lehrzeit. Sein Lehrmeister ist unbekannt, wobei Willigen und Meijer eine Lehrzeit im Bosschaert-Atelier ausschließen. 1608 wurde er als Meister in der Lukasgilde in Antwerpen aufgenommen. Im Jahr darauf, 1609, heiratete er in Middelburg Maria la Hoes. Zusammen mit ihr hatte er 7 Kinder, darunter Gillis, der wie sein Vater Maler wurde.

Jacob van Hulsdonck hatte verschiedene Lehrlinge u. a. in den Jahren 1613, 1617/18 und 1622/23, darunter sein Sohn Gillis, Jacques de Moor, Hans van Pelt und Thomas Vermeulen. Maria la Hoes verstarb im Jahr 1629, woraufhin Jacob van Hulsdonck die Schifferswitwe Josina Peeters ehelichte. Diese schenkte ihm einen weiteren Sohn.

Jacob van Hulsdonck verstarb im Jahr 1647 bei oder in Antwerpen.

Œuvre

Allgemein

Jacob van Hulsdonck gehört wie u. a. Jan Brueghel d. Ä., Osias Beert und Clara Peeters zu der Gruppe früher flämischer Stilllebenmaler. Wie auch bei anderen Stilllebenmalern des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts war auch Jacob van Hulsdonck noch nicht auf ein Sujet im Sinne einer bestimmten Art Stillleben spezialisiert. So sind von ihm sowohl Blumenstücke und Fruchtstücke als auch Banketjes (Imbissbilder) vorhanden.

Fast 100 Werke von van Hulsdonk sind erhalten geblieben. Mehr als die Hälfte der bekannten Gemälde sind mit seiner charakteristischen vollen Signatur in Großbuchstaben IVHULSDONCK·FE signiert, wobei das I mit dem schräg gestellten linken Schenkel des H verbunden ist, um das V zu bilden, und sich gewöhnlich links oder rechts am Rand der Tafel befindet. Einige Beispiele sind nur mit einem Monogramm J.v.H. signiert, das man jedoch nicht mit denen des Jan van den Hoecke verwechseln darf. Bisher ist nur ein datiertes Gemälde bekannt, das Imbissbild (gemalt 1614, Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle), ein Beispiel für seinen frühesten Stillleben-Typus. Das macht es schwierig, eine Chronologie für diese Werke zu erstellen. Paneelmachermarken sind bei der Datierung seiner Arbeiten wenig hilfreich, da er Paneele bevorzugte, die auf der Rückseite mit Gesso präpariert waren, was das Holz stabiler und weniger anfällig für Verwerfungen macht.

Typisch für Hulsdonck als ein Vertreter der frühen Stilllebenmalerei ist die Verwendung von Holzpaneelen und Kupferplatten als Träger für seine Gemälde.

Mahlzeitstillleben
Seine Mahlzeitstillleben zeigen die für die Zeit typische, Überschneidungen vermeidende, von einem hohen Blickpunkt aus betrachtete Zusammenstellung zahlreicher Objekte auf einem Tisch. Bei seinen Fruchtstücken malte Hulsdonck nahezu ausschließlich Pflaumen, Weintrauben, Pfirsiche, Orangen und Zitronen serviert in chinesischen Tellern und Schalen oder in einem Korb. Da die Grenzen zwischen den verschiedenen Arten von Stillleben zu dieser frühen Zeit noch nicht gänzlich abgesteckt waren, kombinierte er seine Früchtekörbe und -teller gelegentlich mit einem kleinen Blumenstrauß.

Es wird angenommen, dass seine frühesten Stillleben diejenigen sind, bei denen die Tischkante nahe am unteren Bildrand liegt und der Tisch von einem eher erhöhten Standpunkt aus dargestellt ist. In diesen frühen Werken ist der Tisch teilweise mit einem weißen Tuch bedeckt. In seinen späteren Werken gab er etwas von der Starrheit dieser frühen Werke auf, indem er den Blickwinkel senkte, etwas Platz unter dem Tisch ließ und eine Seite des Tisches in die Komposition einbezog.

Blumenstücke

Van Hulsdonck malte auch reine Blumenstillleben, obwohl sie einen viel kleineren Teil seines Œuvres ausmachen. Nur wenige von ihnen sind signiert und wurden daher manchmal anderen Künstlern zugeschrieben. Zum Beispiel wurde das Werk Stillleben mit Tulpen, Nelken, einer Rose und anderen Blumen in einem Glasbecher, der auf einem Holzsims ruht (verkauft bei Sotheby's am 3. Juli 2013 in London, Los 23), früher Jan van Kessel dem Älteren zugeschrieben. Seine Blumenstücke können als Vorläufer des Werks von van Kessel und auch von Daniel Seghers angesehen werden.  Neben den drei bekannten reinen Stillleben malte van Hulsdonck auch neun bekannte Obst- und Blumenkompositionen, bei denen er neben seinen traditionelleren Körben oder Schalen mit Obst auch kleine Vasen mit Blumen auf einem Sims aufstellte.

Einige wenige seiner Blumenstücke zeigen nur eine einzige Blumensorte, wie z. B. Nelken, aber meistens malte er eine Mischung aus einer begrenzten Anzahl von Blüten, in denen Tulpen dominieren. Die Blumen stehen typischerweise vor einem dunklen Hintergrund und sind in einfachen Klarglasbechern gehalten, die nur im unteren Bereich mit Stacheln versehen sind, damit man die Stiele der einzelnen Blumen bis zum Boden verfolgen kann. Seine Blumenstücke zeigen eine größere formale Eleganz und raffinierte Einfachheit als Brueghels meist aufwändigere Blumenstücke. Dies mag möglicherweise auf den prägenden Einfluss Bosschaerts zurückzuführen sein.

Einflüsse

Jacob van Hulsdoncks Gemälde lassen den Einfluss bzw. die Kenntnis weiterer gleichzeitig tätiger Stilllebenmaler erkennen. Vroom sah deutliche Parallelen zu den Werken von Jan Soreau, wohingegen Bergström besonders die Nähe zu Balthasar van der Ast betont. Sybille Ebert-Schiffer verweist noch überzeugend auf Gemeinsamkeiten mit zeitgleichen Stillleben von dem in Antwerpen tätigen Frans Snyders.

Thank you so much for supporting the Christmas fair yesterday. It was great that so many parents helped organise the day and so many of you attended the event. This will, as usual, help fund the pantomime visit in the last week.
Our initial takings on the day have been counted and were an amazing £799.35, which the highest they have ever been. However, there were a few outgoings (such as presents etc) to consider before we have the final figure.
It is safe to say you have smashed the record with your generosity!

HI, My name is Danny and have had D for over 5 years now,I joined this forum years ago,but now finally decided to make an effort to meet fellow D's to share and rant and just share our highs and lows with fellow D's..
Welcome to RC Danny. We have lots of members in Melbourne, so if you want to suggest a place and time, I'm sure you would get some takers.


The Chabad Jewish Center–Upper Passaic County's Yom Kippur service on Sept. 19 is due to feature a 110-year-old Torah saved from Nazi destruction.
WANAQUE — A Torah nearly engulfed by flames during the Nazi blitz on Jewish people, property and culture known as Germany's Night of Broken Glass has made its way to New Jersey.
The scorched Torah is a symbol of survival, said Rabbi Mendy Gurkov of Chabad Jewish Center–Upper Passaic County, where the scroll will spend the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.
Estimated to be 110 years old, the 15-pound Torah was among thousands targeted for destruction by Nazis during Kristallnacht.
A harbinger of Nazi atrocities to come, the Night of Broken Glass on Nov. 9-10, 1938, saw Nazis ransack Jewish businesses, homes and synagogues. Torahs, symbols of the religion that contain the five books of Moses, were prime targets for Nazi hate and the denigration of Jewish culture, Gurkov said.
"They believed that if they desecrated what we hold most sacred they could destroy our soul, but that didn't happen," Gurkov said.
In Fritzlar, Germany, Nazi youth rode their bikes over stretched parchment. In Berlin, scrolls were tinder for a bonfire. And in Hamburg, Jews were forced at gunpoint to tear Torahs and toss the scraps in the fire, Gurkov said.
Also in Hamburg, a 14-year-old boy charged toward a pile of burning relics and grabbed the 2-foot-tall scroll. Isaac Schwartz, who had celebrated his bar mitzvah a month earlier, then buried the Torah in his backyard for safekeeping.
The scroll is now part of a North American tour that includes hundreds of Jewish communities. Gurkov said he is honored to have the Torah at his Yom Kippur services at Chabad Jewish Center–Upper Passaic County on Wednesday, Sept. 19.
The Kristallnacht Torah remained buried through World War II, as the Schwartz family had escaped to Venezuela. The scroll was further damaged when the family unearthed it after its post-war return to Hamburg. Due to its condition, the scroll remained hidden until 2015.
"Even if one letter is smudged or faded, the Torah is rendered useless," Gurkov said.
The scroll's restoration started when Isaac Schwartz's son reached out to a Miami-based businessman, Leonard Wien, who had been gathering and restoring destroyed German Torahs to honor those lost in the Holocaust.
Wien said two scribes spent 18 months repairing torn and burnt parchment and redrawing faded letters with a traditional quill. Lacquered cherry handles were affixed, and an embroidered velvet cover was cinched in preparation for donation to the Jewish Learning Institute and a subsequent tour.
A new Torah takes about a year to ink by hand and can cost $25,000 to $60,000, Gurkov said. The Kristallnacht Torah, he added, is priceless. It travels in a foam-lined hard-shell crate worthy of a Stradivarius.
Wien said the restoration project was designed to honor and inspire.
The Torah will be on display and read at 11:30 a.m. on Yom Kippur, Wednesday, Sept. 19, at Chabad Jewish Center–Upper Passaic County, 1069 Ringwood Ave. About 150 people are expected to be present at the center and the halls on the third floor of the Haskell Town Center.
"It's big to have this scroll here, especially for Yom Kippur," Gurkov said.
Also known as the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur is considered the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, Gurkov said. This year, it starts at sunset on Sept. 18 and ends on Sept. 19.
"Rosh Hashanah is when we're inscribed for a good new year, and Yom Kippur is when we're sealed," Gurkov said.
Last Yom Kippur, the scroll was on display in California at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Newport Beach.

Everything by Hanna Liden
July 20-August 54
Swedish artist Hanna Liden remembers her first bagel after moving to the United States to attend Parsons: lox and cream cheese on a plain bagel, purchased from the kind of classic deli that once dotted Manhattan's Meatpacking District "before they opened Jeffrey's and all that," she says. Now, Liden and her bagels return to two downtown park spaces, though this time in much larger form: Goliath sculptures of one of New York's iconic foods have descended in Hudson River Park and Greenwich Village's Ruth Wittenberg Plaza.
The doughy deli staples are arranged in stacks, some pierced with a single tulip, in arrangements of plain, poppy seed, sesame, everything, and pumpernickel (no cinnamon raisin for this purist)—and all Instagram-ready for a city population that can hardly stand to eat something without photographing it first. Liden says that kind of simple accessibility inspired the public artwork, the artist's first: "It's just something that's so essential for the street in New York City. There's nowhere else in the world that has this sort of deli culture, where you can buy everything in the store, it's open all the time, it's right on the sidewalk," she says. "It's a really familiar thing, but it's also unique to the city, and so accessible to anyone."
Scale those poppy-seed heights, whip out your selfie stick, and say, "Cream cheese!"

Seattle Art Fair
July 30-August 2
Seattle becomes the latest city to jockey for the "emerging art scene" label with its first-ever art fair, spearheaded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Expect a strong showing from heavy hitters such as the David Zwirner and the Gagosian Gallery, as well as local, burgeoning Pacific Northwest artists. Catching our eye is Jenny Heishman's Magritte-influenced sculpture that uses high-school-prom backgrounds and Wendy Star's life-size diorama, complete with cardboard-moose cutouts.

Rizzoli Flagship Bookstore
The kings of fancy fashion books finally have a new castle with the opening of their flagship store after their 57th Street space abruptly shuttered in late 2014. Infusing 19th century elements with touches of modernity, the current NoMad District store was influenced by Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library at Columbia University. Sounds like just the spot to curl up and read a good book—in designer duds, naturally.
