Here are a few example cases:
People v. Matesky – This client was serving a 75 year to life sentence under the three strikes law for what was a non-violent crime. After a series of appeals and petitions to the trial court, his release was secured by demonstrating that one of his "strike" priors from years ago should not have been used in this sentencing. He was immediately released from prison.
People v. Gates – Our client was also serving a life sentence under the Three Strikes Law for what is now a minor drug possession charge but had several offenses including a sex offense as a juvenile that made him ineligible for relief under a current law changing the Three Strikes Law. We were able to secure his release by convincing the prosecutor that his sentence was cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
People v. Easter – In a published decision, our client's murder conviction was reversed by the Court of Appeal because the trial judge refused to consider evidence that he was not mentally competent to stand trial.
People v. Reyes – In another recently published opinion, our client's conviction for the possession of an assault weapon was reversed by the Court of Appeal because the trial judge admitted prejudicial evidence in his trial. In addition, the trial judge refused to admit testimony by the owner of the vehicle where the weapon was found.

A small fire last weekend at an Adell church has been ruled arson, the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department reported Friday.
Capt. Dave Adams said the fire occurred late Oct. 29 or early Oct. 30 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 326 Center Ave. The Rev. Christopher Seifferlein said he discovered the remnants of the fire when he arrived Sunday morning, several hours before the 8:30 a.m. service.
Seifferlein said the fire was in a building adjacent to the church's main sanctuary. Damage was estimated at $1,500.

Q: Sintaxis correcta de python Estoy pasando de PHP a Python y en PHP los ciclos y condicionales normalmente se limitan con {}, pero en Python no encuentro algo que limite un bucle y llegué a pensar que solo es con la sintaxis. Tengo el siguiente código y no se si esta bien tabulado.
import requests
import pymysql
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import numpy as np

connection = pymysql.connect(
host="localhost",
user="root",
password="",
db="base de datos"

i=1
while i<10

      #CÓDIGO
      #CÓDIGO
    it +=1
  #CÓDIGO
  #CÓDIGO
  i +=1

Notese que no uso else, no se si es correcto hacerlo o una mala practica, pues no deseo que se haga nada si no se cumple la condición, traté de ponerle pass pero me mandó error.
Pusé #CÓDIGO debido a que el código es grande e iba a tardar mucho en leerlo.

A: en efecto, en python las líneas y bloques de código se diferencian por la indentación. Lo que podría "sustituir" a las llaves de apertura { en otros lenguajes son los dos puntos : que se usan en los condicionales como muestras en tu código, pero también en los ciclos, por ejemplo un while
while i < 10:
    # hacer algo

O un for:
for elem in lista:
    # hacer algo

Respecto a la identación es correcta, puedes usar los espacios que gustes, siempre y cuando seas consistente con su uso.

A: en el ciclo while, faltan los dos puntos para indicar un bloque, debería ser:
while i<10:
  #CÓDIGO

el bloque if está vacío; una solución sería:
if g=="cadena":
  pass
  #CÓDIGO

para limitar ciclos o bloques de código se usa la identación,

On August 17, 2017 my wife Theresa was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, every day has been centered around the reality of a life-altering diagnosis and her fight to defeat this cancer. It is a great privilege to be on this journey with such a strong and faithful woman. The outpouring of love, prayers, and help from our family, friends, and church family has been humbling and amazing.
Every Thursday I accompany Theresa to Illinois Cancers Specialists and sit by her side as she receives her chemotherapy treatment. While her treatment is not fun, it is not nearly as difficult as what others receive. We see now familiar faces week after week, each treading the path of their own personal journey with cancer. All are surrounded by doctors, nurses, and technicians who care and serve with grace, dignity, and love. It is truly amazing to witness.
After watching the caregivers who accompany each patient during their infusions sit for hours in terribly uncomfortable chairs, my wife decided to make it her mission to provide a more comfortable option. So the Comfy Caregivers Chair Fundraiser was born. The goal is to buy at least 20 comfy chairs with a small flip-up desk surface to make the hours of waiting a little bit easier.

Home Business Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) Said No To Ray Lane
Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) Said No To Ray Lane
Blomst / Pixabay
To say Elon Musk of Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX is driven is the acme of understatement. His drive is matched only by how hard he pushes his employees. Those that work with him love to work with him, those that have left his employ are almost to a person unwilling to go on record about their former employer. Elon Musk is also quite difficult to invest with if he doesn't like you or your venture capital firm's terms. Last year in an interview, Musk mentioned that is was the actions of one of the firm's partners that kept them from a piece of Tesla, which is now doing terrifically well. Musk declined to give the name of this partner, but Bloomberg stepped into the gap today to provide the name—Ray Lane.
Tesla Motors' partnership dilemma
Apparently, Musk was deciding whether to take $70 million from VantagePoint Capital Partners or $50 million from Kleiner Perkins. Musk was willing to take the lower offer but insisted that one of Kleiner Perkins' partners, John Doerr, take a seat on Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s board. Mr. Doerr declined citing prior commitments and another partner he did not wish to supplant.
Ray Lane's demands
Now it has come to light that Ray Lane demanded a spot on the board, something that Musk was unwilling to offer. Musk moved on and Lane began pushing Kleiner Perkins to invest in Fisker Automotives. KP made one of its biggest investments in its history and placed Ray Lane on Fisker's board to watch after its investments. If you're not familiar with Fisker, a "competitor" to Tesla, they are presently teetering on the verge of bankruptcy after burning through nearly a billion dollars.
This escapade not only lost Ray Lane a full partnership but tens of millions for Kleiner Perkins. As a consolation and a charitable one at that, Lane was made a partner emeritus.
To add insult to injury, Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has gone on to be a Wall Street darling while Lane has been investigated for tax irregularities, been the butt of jokes regarding Kleiner Perkins' poor investing track record in green technologies, and lost his seat as chairman of Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ). All this while Musk dreams of dying on Mars, "Just not on impact."

Conditional discharge for father-of-five caught with cannabis after gap in offending
His defence said: 'He has five children between the age of seven and six months. He instructs he does not have the time to offend'
A Lurgan man has been given a conditional discharge for possession of cannabis after a gap in his offending.
After handing down the sentence, the district judge told the 30-year-old: "Hopefully this is just a blip and you can get on with your life."
Stephen John McCann, of Gilpinstown Road, pleaded guilty to possession of a Class B drug at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Prosecution outlined that at around 11.45pm on December 22, of last year, police on patrol of the Drumellan estate in Moyraverty spotted a BMW.
Officers approached the vehicle and detected a strong smell of cannabis.
A search was conducted of the occupants and vehicle, during which a cigarette containing suspected cannabis was found in the rear of the car.
The defendant, who had been a passenger, admitted to the substance being his.
McCann was cautioned for the offence and made no reply.
During interview, the defendant confirmed the cigarette contained cannabis, that it belonged to him and that he intended to smoke it.
District Judge Steven Keown stated: "He was in the Crown Court in 2016, albeit for an offence dating back to 2013. He was received a suspended sentence in 2015 for possession of Class B but there has been nothing since."
Defence solicitor Chris Logue said: "Mr McCann is working full time. He has five children between the age of seven and six months. He instructs he does not have the time to offend."
McCann was handed a conditional discharge for 12 months.
District Judge Keown told the defendant: "Hopefully this is just a blip and you can get on with your life."

There was so much going on in the worlds of John, Paul George and Ringo. For starters, the band was coming off the massive success of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. They then founded Apple Corps Ltd., which drained a bunch of money. The Beatles then got all up in Transcendental Meditation and spent some time in India, where they wrote most of the album.
Oh…and the recording of "The While Album" was the time when John Lennon first starting seeing Yoko Ono, who was often present at Abbey Road Studios, which was odd considering The Beatles up until that point worked alone.
While the 30-track double album brought forth an incredibly diverse set of music, it was a sign that it was the beginning of the end. Each Beatle worked on their own songs separately and only worked with their band mates when necessary. Despite this divide and tension, The Beatles still managed to deliver one of the boldest albums in the history of rock.

*Will you need cash advances? Apply for a credit card that offers a lower APR and lower transaction fees. Be sure to read the fine print on their requirements. Some credit card companies impose a transaction fee and a cash advance fee plus the interest rate. Some credit cards charge a higher rate for cash advances than regular purchases.
*Will you be traveling frequently, and charging your trip expenses? If this is your situation, then a cash back credit card reward program may suit you best. Be sure to consider your interest rate first, however. Rewards should come secondary to your spending habits and the cost of the credit card itself. Cash rebate cards offer you a cash back refund at the end of the year that you can use anyway you choose. Other credit card reward programs offer purchase points or redeemable rebates. Airline credit cards offer you miles as credit for every dollar you spend, sometimes offering you double or triple miles.
Whatever credit card offer you apply for, be sure to carefully consider the terms of your credit card, including the interest rate (APR), annual fees, transaction fees and balance transfer fees. Those hidden charges can add up quickly and cost you more than what you bargained for, so choose your credit card wisely.

Kercem Ajax earned three precious points form a 3-1 win over bottom placed SK Victoria wanderers and regained the fourth spot on the table. With this result the Ajax opened a comfortable lead over the teams in the lower part of the table and are closer to secure that status for another season in the top flight for another season. On the other hand the Wanderers continued to find it very difficult to be competitive this season. Once again the Citizens had a good start and scored an early goal but they compromised the possibility to earn a positive result by committing defensive mistakes.
The Wanderers came out more determined and dictated matters during the opening minutes of the encounter. Victoria also took a deserved lead in the fourth minute of play when Ian Xuereb released Abdullahi Ige within Kercem's area and the latter netted with a low shot. Kercem soon regained composure and took command of play. On 10 minutes Victoria's defender Anthony Attard cleared off the goalmouth an attempt by Ognjen Rolovic following a personal action and on 13 minutes the levelled the score when Andrew Mizzi entered the area form the right flank and form his cross Alen Haska concluded in goal with a shot on the run. Kercem kept insisting and on 18 minutes Victoria's keeper Giacomo Ratto made a good save to neutralise a shot by Alen Haska. The same Kercem striker was again dangerous on 23 minutes but his effort was deflected to a corner and on 31 minutes Kercem turned the result in their favour through a first time by Elton Vella following a cross by Jean Paul Mizzi.
Victoria's reaction was sterile and Kercem managed to keep control of play without difficulty. The Ajax however found it difficult to create serious dangerous actions. On 65 minutes Victoria's defence cleared badly a corner kick by Elton Vella and from the resultant melee Ognjen Rolovic concluded badly from a good position. Two minutes later Kercem's Alen Haska operated a fine move from the right flank but form his inviting cross, substitute Mario Mifsud's shot ended away from Victoria's goal. On 80 minutes Kercem lost a golden scoring opportunity when Ognjen Rolovic pushed the ball in front of Victoria's goalmouth following a counter break but Philip Taylor incredibly failed to hit the ball with an open goal at his mercy. In another occasion Kercem's Alen Haska had a good attempt that missed the target but on 84 minutes Kercem sealed the victory with the third goal that arrived through a header by Andrew Mizzi following a corner kick by Elton Vella.

La classe Ivan Gren, désignation Projet 11711 est une classe de navires de débarquement/Navire d'assaut amphibie en cours de construction pour la Marine russe. Initialement prévu pour être constituée de deux navires, l'Ivan Gren et le Pyotr Morgunov, la Marine russe aurait l'intention d'en acquérir de nouvelles unité de conception modifiée.

Caractéristiques

Navire de transport et de débarquement, selon la classification russe, les navires de la classe Ivan Gren sont construits pour les deux premiers bâtiments autour d'une large coque en acier comprenant deux ponts surmontés de superstructures représentées par deux blocs distincts. Les deux blocs de superstructures sont composés d'un bloc situé à l'avant du bâtiment comprenant la passerelle et la zone de vie et d'un bloc à l'arrière du bâtiment abritant notamment les équipements techniques, la cheminée, les systèmes d'aération et de ventilation, un hangar à hélicoptère d'une capacité d'accueil de deux appareils ainsi qu'un centre de contrôle de vol des hélicoptères embarqués. Une grue de chargement située entre les deux superstructures participe au chargement de véhicules et conteneurs présents sur un quai à bord du navire.

Les navires de la classe ont un déplacement de 5 000 à 6 000 tonnes et peuvent transporter jusqu'à 13 chars de combat principaux ou 36 véhicules blindés de transport de troupes et 300 marines.

Historique

Le premier navire de la classe, l'Ivan Gren, a été mis en chantier le 23 décembre 2004. La coque de l'Ivan Gren a été achevée fin novembre 2010. Le 9 octobre 2010, un contrat visant à augmenter les travaux sur le navire a été signé. Le navire a été lancé le 18 mai 2012 et devait être livré à la marine russe d'ici 2014. La livraison de l'Ivan Gren a été retardée jusqu'en 2015 tandis que le deuxième navire de la classe, le Piotr Morgunov, a été posée en octobre 2014. L'Ivan Gren a commencé ses essais en mer en juin 2016 dans la mer Baltique. Selon des sources russes, le retard de la mise en service du navire de tête était dû à plusieurs défauts de conception, notamment la stabilité de la coque et des problèmes de moteur.

Le 3 mai 2018, le navire de tête de la classe, l'Ivan Gren, a terminé avec succès ses essais en mer organisés en mer Baltique. Les systèmes et complexes du navire de guerre ont été vérifiés par la commission d'acceptation d'État du ministère russe de la Défense. L'Ivan Gren a été mis en service le 20 juin 2018.

Initialement, il n'était pas prévu de construire d'autres navires à la suite du Piotr Morgunov. Cependant, en décembre 2018, il a été rapporté par le chef de la United Shipbuilding Corporation de Russie que la Russie prévoyait de commander deux ou trois navires de débarquement de classe Ivan Gren modifiés supplémentaires. Le 9 avril 2019, le ministre russe de la Défense Sergey Shoygu a annoncé que deux autres navires de débarquement du projet 11711 seraient mis en service le 23 avril 2019.

Le 23 avril 2019, deux navires de débarquement modifiés du projet 11711, Vladimir Andreev et Vasily Trushin, ont été déposés lors d'une cérémonie au chantier naval Iantar à Kaliningrad. Les deux nouveaux navires diffèrent par une superstructure modifiée, un déplacement accru, des moteurs 16D49, des dimensions plus grandes et une superstructure unique et la capacité de transporter les hélicoptères d' attaque Kamov Ka-52K. Le déplacement des navires agrandis serait supérieur de 40% à celui de la version de base, soit environ 9 240 tonnes, et la capacité de levage amphibie a augmenté de 100% (à 26 réservoirs). Leur livraison à la marine russe est prévue respectivement en 2023 et 2024.

Le Piotr Morgunov a été mis en service le 23 décembre 2020. Le 30 janvier 2021, il est arrivé à sa base permanente de Severomorsk sous le commandement du capitaine de 2 rang Vyacheslav Solovie.

Il ponte dei Mulini è un ponte diga creato con altre opere idrauliche al fine di regolare le acque del fiume Mincio che circondavano la città di Mantova, causa frequente di alluvioni. Tale grandioso progetto, iniziato nel 1188, fu concluso nel 1199. Allo scopo l'opera fu affidata dalle autorità comunali mantovane all'ingegnere bergamasco Alberto Pitentino, che costruì il ponte su un manufatto più basso e antico, probabilmente di epoca romana. Fu così, artificialmente, creato il sistema dei quattro laghi, attualmente tre a causa del successivo interramento del lago Paiolo, che fino alla fine del settecento hanno resa Mantova un'isola facilmente difendibile da eserciti nemici.

L'opera idraulica cardine di tutto il sistema progettato dal Pitentino era il ponte dei Mulini, una possente diga di terra e mattoni, inaugurato nel 1190 che tratteneva e innalzava le acque a monte della diga stessa allo scopo di formare il lago Superiore in sostituzione di acquitrini paludosi e insalubri. Fu creato uno scaricatore detto "vaso di porto" che faceva defluire l'acqua nei laghi di Mezzo e Inferiore situati ad un livello inferiore. Il dislivello creato artificialmente fu altresì utilizzato a partire dall'anno 1229 per alimentare 12 mulini.

Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, nel 1944, lo storico ponte fu distrutto dai bombardamenti aerei.
Il ponte fu ricostruito perdendo i dodici mulini e il passaggio coperto.

Taylor Michael Wilson, from Missouri, has pleaded guilty to a Federal Terrorism charge over the October 2017 Amtrak attack, during which he boarded a train in California carrying a .38 handgun, ammunition, respiratory mask, a hammer, knife, speed loaders, and ID relating to the National Socialist Movement.
Wilson, who claimed he 'dropped acid' before the attack, sabotaged the train by as it passed through Nebraska, disabling its engine and cut the lights, causing panic among its 175 passengers.
The court heard that Wilson reached for his waistband where the handgun was, though conductors kept him from grabbing it. The weapon was later recovered by the first deputy on the scene.
When agents searched Wilson's St. Charles home in December 2017 they discovered hollowed-out walls full of Nazi propaganda, body armor, ammunition, and "pressure plates that can be used to make an explosive device." They also found "numerous firearms," including ones not legally registered, such as a fully automatic machine gun and a short-barrel rifle.
Wilson is awaiting sentencing at the District Court for Nebraska.
While Trump bans Muslims due to the 'terror threat' - except from nations he does business with, of course - native-born white Americans, mostly White Supremacist types, are responsible for nearly 90% of Terror Attacks in the USA in the last three years.

"And Laticrete Glass Tile Adhesive is making this job a little easier."
Don't forget the movement joints!
Installing Latasil perimeter movement joints on an exterior lanai project at the Papakea Resort in Kaanapali, Maui.
The 24" Cerdomus porcelain tile was grouted with Almond SpectaLock epoxy grout.
Stone veneer facade installed with Laticrete 4237 in 1960!
I am waiting for the wall and floor tile to arrive for a condo job here in Maui. But I did have the shower floor tile and my boys helped me grout it this Saturday afternoon.
I was on a mall storefront (PS Aeropostale) job that need serious prep work, being away from home, I ran to the local Dal Tile store and grabbed some LATICRETE 816 to flash patch. Used HYDRO BAN for the area as an antifracture membrane.
Finished off with SPECTRALOCK as grout.
See below for a compliment we received from one of our customers. This is a new customer, one that has never seen the Laticrete Supercap Pump truck system before. Needless to say, they were impressed. We knocked out a 40,000 square foot renovation project for them in less than four days, including a full shot blast. The power of the pump never gets old.
The feedback never changes, always amazement. I also want to add that the plant has got the Supercap product dialed in and the quality is first rate. It is the best self leveling product in the world. We recently completed 25 floors in the Freedom Tower. We used all small bags of Supercap, NO pump truck, installed over polished concrete. We DID NOT shotblast, we used a slurry coat over the original Supercap primer…………..product is down solid, hard as a rock, not one crack. Stephen can elaborate more and the very positive feed back he received from the Port Authority of NY/NJ.

I decided to climb to the summit of Jbel Toubkal because my family happened to be taking a trip to the area, and when I found out the tallest mountain in Morocco was nearby, I knew I had to climb it. I would definitely describe myself as an avid outdoorsmen and mountain climbing is currently how I have been pursuing that addiction; there is something liberating and overwhelming about conquering mountains and striving to embrace the top of the world! The reason I have become interested in mountaineering and other such outdoor adventures is definitely because of my uncle David Rothberg. Growing up listening to his wondrous stories about his times spent on distant treacherous peaks and lost in the wilderness on NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) created in me an insatiable thirst to follow in his footsteps!
The LATICRETE shirt carried to the summit of Toubkal was in homage of how my uncle used to do the same on his climbs, as well as to bring glory and honor to the family and company my grandparents created and uncles have grown.
I am a Physics Major at University - I just officially declared it two days ago! As to working for Laticrete, I am not sure where the winds will take me, but I definitely would love to work for Laticrete at some point in the future!

Finally; we've installed the first 9 feet, 31 feet to go! We did the install yesterday, we couldn't have done it without the help of Jeff Carder and Dale Foster. I've included a couple of pictures that you're more than welcome to post on Facebook. I should be getting a picture later of Jeff and Dale in front of the mosaic (another volunteer took it so I've asked her to send it to me), I'll send that off as soon as I receive it.
Jeff has been a great resource with his knowledge, I'm a rookie at this so there is no way we could have had the success on the install without him.
We've received many compliments already, the veterans and staff are very excited now that we have the first section completed!


Over the past few decades, the concept of integrated logistics system has emerged as a new management philosophy, which aims to increase distribution efficiency. Such a concept recognizes the interdependence among the location of facilities, the allocation of suppliers and customers to facilities and vehicle route structures around depots. In this study, in order to emphasize the interdependence among these, we build a model for the integration of location and routing decisions. We propose our model on realistic assumptions such as the number of vehicles assigned to each facility is a decision variable and the installing cost of a facility depends on how many vehicles will be assigned to that facility. We also analyze the opportunity cost of ignoring vehicle routes while locating facilities and show the computational performance of integrated solution approach. We propose a greedy type heuristic for the model, which is based on a newly structured savings function.


I chose violin myself at nine years old. No one in my family had studied music and I had never gone to a concert. The local high school orchestra performed at my school, and when the conductor held up a violin for us to see, I knew that would be my instrument.

diy: sweet jar | S J M W E L L - Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle blog.
As a child, well young girl in Brownies i remember singing "who stole the cookie from the cookie jar..." game when we camped, something i always loved. Except for today we're changing cookies to sweet's!
you can use any jar shape, size or colour you wish, i'm using a cleaned out jam jar.
I've taken off the label and the sticky glue residue.
layer your chosen sweet's in the jar anyway you like, i've alternated mine with gummy, fizzy, chocolate, fizzy sweet's. However they will all fill into place!
fabric, i popped in my local haberdashery and looked in the "scrap box" it's discarded fabric which is still in good condition it's just small pieces they can't put on the shelf.
i found this preety gingham style fabric straight away and thought it would go perfectly.
I also brought a metre of ribbon, all together it was 48p.
Sometimes they let you have it for pennies because it's just scrap though, i have a few time's!
after measuring, i cut out an equal square shape but folder over the fabric to make it thicker.
cut any fraying sides so it's all neat.
stretch over the top of the jar (you may need someone to hold it tight) make sure it's near enough directly in the middle so it looks equal at all sides.
Tie a thin elastic band around it.
Then lastly tie round ribbon, i entwined mine round twice then finished by making a bow at the front.
for effect i then cut the end's neat and shorter on an edge to make it look prettier.
i was inspired by the way people use this way with actual jam lid's but wanted a twist on it, instead of jam... sweets!
This is such a great idea! I love it! I may have to do this to brighten up my kitchen!
I would love for you to come and check out my blog! SparksandFireworks.blogspot.com!

The changing face of purpose-driven school administration: Green school leadership

The range of tasks and demands placed on a school principal can seem to change daily, and indeed, this appears to be a defining element of the role. Leadership in an education setting is special. Fortunately there are specific purposes associated with education that school leaders can employ as guides to action. One of these key purposes relates to ideology and socialization. School principals are responsible for defining and shaping the culture of their institutions in ways that will model and reflect the needs and priorities of the community. In recent years, this has come to include recognizing and responding to the ever-growing concern for our environment. One way this social justice issue has manifested itself in schools is through a trend known as the green school movement. To define and further understand how green school leadership might be different from that of traditional school leadership, research was carried out to investigate how principals lead and manage in green schools and how the environmental missions are promoted and advanced on a daily basis by school based advocates in administrative roles. To conduct such an inquiry, five school principals were observed and interviewed on multiple occasions to gain an understanding of how they lead and influence their schools through their role as a principal.

Educational restoration: a foundational model inspired by ecological restoration

The purpose of this paper is to articulate, and advocate for, a deep shift in how the authors conceptualize and enact school leadership and reform. The authors challenge fundamental conceptions regarding educational systems and call for a dramatic shift from the factory model to a living systems model of schooling. The authors call is not a metaphorical call. The authors propose embracing assumptions grounded in the basic human nature as living systems. Green school leaders, practicing whole school sustainability, provide emerging examples of educational restoration.
School reform models have implicitly and even explicitly embraced industrialized assumptions about students and learning. Shifting from the factory model of education to a living systems model of whole school sustainability requires transformational strategies more associated with nature and life than machines. Ecological restoration provides the basis for the model of educational restoration.
Educational restoration, as proposed here, makes nature a central player in the conversations about ecologies of learning, both to improve the quality of learning for students and to better align educational practice with social, economic and environmental needs of the time. Educational leaders at all levels of the educational system have critical roles to play in deconstructing factory model schooling and reform. The proposed framework for educational restoration raises new questions and makes these opportunities visible. Discussion of this framework begins with ecological circumstances and then addresses, values, commitment and judgments.
Educational restoration will affect every aspect of teaching, learning and leading. It will demand new approaches to leadership preparation. This new landscape of educational practice is wide open for innovative approaches to research, preparation and practice across the field of educational leadership.
The model of educational restoration provides a conceptual foundation for future research and leadership practice.

Supporters of charter schools tend to also be the supporters of 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) regarding choice in education. Many minority parents and their children are disappointed with school desegregation benefits and the pace of school finance reform is embracing choice schools such as charter schools. Charter schools are public schools with a specific mission free from the local school district, and are administered by a group of parents. Charter schools proponents argue that minorities will receive an education superior to traditional public schools. We argue that charter schools combined with accountability goals of NCLB by racial subgroups should enhance the academic achievement of minority students. We also assess the combination of the school choice paradigm with a focus on the interaction of charter schools and NCLB.

Students' perceptions of HEI regarding environmental sustainability – a comparative analysis

This paper aims to compare the environmental sustainability practices at the campus operations between two Portuguese higher education institutions (HEIs) at different stages of the implementation of an Eco-School Programme. It also seeks to analyse the involvement of the students in the process of implementing these practices in their institutions.
A questionnaire survey was carried out in two HEIs (a green and a non-green institution). Data were collected from a total of 832 students. Techniques of descriptive statistics and inferential statistical techniques such as the Mann-Whitney test, χ2 and Spearman correlation test, were applied.
The results obtained show that, from the students' perspective, and in both institutions, there is still much to be done on the path towards sustainability, particularly in transport and landscaping. Significant differences were found only between some environmental sustainability practices at the campus level. However, students from the green institution are more participative in sustainability activities.
This study provides a picture of two HEIs' sustainability behaviour from the students' standpoint, which can be important for decision-makers in HEIs, in as much that students are one of the HEIs' major stakeholder groups; furthermore, it enables them to better guide their efforts towards sustainability.
This paper focusses on the students' perspective and their role in the sustainability initiatives undertaken by HEIs. It can be useful for future research that attempts to analyse the importance of HEIs' stakeholder participation in sustainability.

We present ten patterns and design examples in this paper, revealing some of the most relevant trends in educational design, drawn from our research on charter schools. An interdisciplinary team of students in architecture, urban planning, business, education, and psychology have completed a series of case studies of best practices, as well as profiled charter schools locally, to develop patterns and guidelines for the facility planning and educational development of charter schools. Charter schools are public schools of choice in the United States that receive more administrative and pedagogical autonomy and flexibility than district schools in exchange for meeting the performance goals specified in each school's charter. Charter schools often have innovative curriculum, challenging traditional education methods and facility design. This research addresses the connections between the designed physical environment and the learning innovations it supports, while encouraging the entrepreneurial charter school vision, emphasizing creativity in the renovation, adaptive reuse, and non-traditional use of existing buildings, efficiently maximizing student safety and learning, and adhering to best-practice standards of ecological design.

Study level/applicability:
Postgraduate business students
The learning objectives to be drawn from the case are as follows: To discuss the challenges of a leader within a resource-constrained environment. Students are required to highlight aspects of transformational leadership and assess the leader against those criteria. To highlight the connection between employee mindset, actions, and organisational performance. Students need to identify the key issues underlying the personnel challenges facing the leader. To explore the influence of leadership on employee engagement. Students should identify the actions taken by the leader to engage employees and analyse the intention behind them, as well as the actual outcomes. To discuss the potential solutions that the leader may institute to achieve the overall transformational objective for the organisation.
Case overview/synopsis
This case puts students in the shoes of Siya Zwane, the newly appointed principal of Green Acres Primary School in the South Africa's Eastern Cape. Having recently completed her PhD in education after 10 years of teaching, Zwane is well versed in the best practices for organisational development and eager to apply them in a public school setting. Her leadership is particularly relevant in the context of a struggling school system that faces, among other issues, an economically disadvantaged population, overcrowding in classrooms, poor infrastructure, and a general lack of resources, including qualified staff. As a newcomer to this school system, Zwane learns quickly how these systemic issues manifest in her teaching team and realises that her first priority must be to empower her staff and enhance employee engagement.

The focus of this paper is on environmental protection, specifically within the context of green building at institutions of higher education (IHEs). One major reason why many IHEs are not undertaking sustainable building policies is the barriers to adoption. The lack of efficiency caused by these barriers to adoption of campus green building will be examined. The purpose of this paper is to identify the common barriers to adoption of green building initiatives at IHEs from multiple stakeholder perspectives and propose possible solutions.
The manuscript provides a general review of the lack of efficiency caused by the barriers to adoption of sustainable building policies at tertiary education institutions.
Campus sustainable building policies face various barriers to adoption of green building policies. Campus sustainable building policies face various barriers to adoption. These include lack of awareness among many stakeholders, incentives, champions, understanding of financial considerations, and occupant satisfaction. These barriers can be addressed through review of student perceptions, encouraging knowledge gains at larger wealthier IHEs, campus planning, offering financial motivations, employing a campus sustainability officer, and marketing green campus building initiatives. However, every stakeholder needs to be part of the collaboration and incentivized in order to reduce these barriers.
This manuscript should be helpful to campus community members as they are involved in crafting, implementing, and managing green building policies. As green building development is a contemporary issue among the higher education sector, this research should prove helpful to decision makers as it identifies barriers and solutions to these barriers. Furthermore, this research can assist practitioners when attempting to implement green building policies at their respective IHEs by helping them understand the barriers as well as potential solutions for these barriers to campus green building.
This general review uncovers barriers to green building in the higher education sector; a sector which historically is dearth on green building research. Furthermore, solutions are offered to address and overcome these barriers from multiple stakeholder perspectives within this sector.

Greening of business schools: a systemic view
Charbel José Chiappetta Jabbour
The purpose of this paper is to present a model for the analysis of business schools as creators, disseminators, and adopters of knowledge on environmental management.
A review of the importance of higher education institutions for sustainability, and more specifically, about their relevance for the creation, diffusion, and adoption of knowledge on environmental management is performed. Guided by this reflection, a model for analyzing the contributions of business schools for expertise in environmental management is proposed. This model considers that activities such as teaching, research, extension community, and university management are elementary for these schools. For each addressed topic, empirical evidence on how some business schools and universities are addressing the environmental dimension in its activities is presented.
The paper's discussions lead the reader to a draft of the evolutionary stages of business schools' contribution for environmental management knowledge, which can be useful for many stakeholders linked to a business school. Finally, the opportunity for a continuation of this research line and the limitations inherent in this proposal are highlighted.
The literature on the subject can be considered meager and when existing tends to report experiences and challenges faced by business schools on the inclusion of environmental issues in their teaching activities, research, extension community, and university management, considering these activities almost always as watertight.

Australia top in nuclear security rankings
Anthony Clausen
MINISTER for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop has welcomed Australia's top ranking in a global review of nuclear security.
For the second year running, Australia has been ranked first in the Nuclear Threat Initiative's assessment of nuclear security in countries with significant holdings of nuclear material.
The Nuclear Threat Initiative is a non-government organisation that works to reduce global threats from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
Australia has maintained its top ranking following reductions in its quantities of highly enriched uranium and ratification of the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism.
The ranking complements the findings of an International Atomic Energy Agency Physical Protection Advisory Service mission in November 2013 that concluded nuclear security within Australia has long been of a high standard and has been significantly enhanced in recent years.

You Are Here: Home → 2015 → March → 26 → Progressives to Aquino: 'We understand …it's your fault'
Progressives to Aquino: 'We understand …it's your fault'
Dee Ayroso March 26, 2015 Aquino resign, Mamasapano clash
President Aquino's appeal for "understanding" could only anger the people more, progressives say.
Progressive groups said President Aquino opened the Lenten season by "doing a Pontius Pilate" in his latest speech on the Mamasapano bloody clash, which could only anger the people even more.
Speaking today at the graduation of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) Lakandula class of 2015, Aquino appealed for "understanding," saying that he is "fully responsible" for whatever success or failure in the nation's security and peace.
"To every Filipino who has felt failure or has been hurt because of the events related to this operation: It is with the abiding humility that I ask for your deepest understanding," the President said in what he called as "his last speech" on the incident.
Kabataan Partylist Rep. Terry Ridon called Aquino's speech a "non-apology apology," which asked for understanding "but admitted nothing."
"Note how the president didn't even ask for the public's forgiveness. He asked for understanding. Mr. President, the public understands – we the people understand that it is you at fault in this botched operation," Ridon said.
"The President has purposefully and willfully missed the point in this speech. The point is to admit that he broke the chain of command, that he used the PNP SAF (Special Action Force) as cannon fodder, that he is ultimately responsible for the bloodshed in Mamasapano," he said.
"Yet here is Aquino at his worst: showing not even an ounce of remorse for his criminal actions that led to the death of almost 70 Filipinos," Ridon said.
Aquino repeated in his speech that he was not fully informed of the risks of the Mamasapano mission in the "version" presented to him, but did not name sacked Special Action Force chief Getulio Napeñas Jr and resigned PNP chief Alan Purisima. Neither was he informed of the heavy casualties of the SAF troops, he said.
"On the morning of January 25, there was no urgency in the text messages that were sent to me. From what was texted, it appeared to me as if the operation in Mamasapano had ended, or was coming to an end, because mechanized units and artillery were already providing assistance," said the President.
Aquino also criticized the reports by the PNP Board of Inquiry and the Senate investigating committee. He said that although the reports "reaffirmed" his position that the "lack of coordination" was a major flaw in the Mamasapano operation, the reports failed to get his side.
"What saddens me is that at times, in lieu of asking me questions, those who prepared the reports chose to speculate instead. This leads us to ask: How can guesswork, instead of facts, help clarify this issue?" Aquino said.
The President also said that the tragic incident had marked his term.
"Regardless of my anger for the disregard for the orders I gave, regardless of my regret for trusting people who concealed the truth from me, I can never erase the fact: 44 members of our police force are dead. And this happened under my term. Let me stress it: I will bear this basic truth with me to my grave," he said.
A recent survey showed that 79 % of the respondents were not satisfied with the President's statements on the Mamasapano tragedy.
National Union of People's Lawyers (NUPL) secretary general Edre Olalia said the President's speech only evaded the main questions in people's minds.
"Do the unsatisfied 79 percent need to spell it out? He deliberately and obstinately continues to skirt the issue of why he dealt with people who are not supposed to be in the loop and excluded people who are supposed to be," said Olalia.
Bayan Muna partylist Rep. Carlos Zarate said that with the President's speech, his popularity will even more decline, as he "continues to lie on his accountability on the Mamasapano incident .. this will only further anger the Filipino people."
Zarate cited the Pulse Asia survey which showed Aquino's trust rating nose diving from 56 percent to 36 percent.
"The result of the survey only confirms the fallacy of the so-called anti-poverty programs of the Aquino administration. Running in billions and billions of pesos in budget but what it did is to mainly engage in dole-out programs that in most cases even made our poor as mendicants. In truth these programs are mere smokescreen to the anti-poor neo-liberal economic policies of the Aquino government that mostly favoured and benefitted the oligarchs," Zarate said.
Kilusang Mayo Uno chair Elmer Labog said that progressive groups will continue to intensify protests "after Holy Week until Labor Day and beyond until Aquino says the following in a televised speech: I resign."
