Malicious Website A potentially malicious website, http://akoarmymil.com, is posing as the legitimate Army Knowledge Online. The site’s purpose appears to be an attempt to lure unsuspecting users further into the site and have them enter personally identifiable information at various subpages. The links on subpages look like various software downloads and device driver updates, but are actually advertisements. Some of the link headings are not even in English, which adds additional suspicion to the site. Users are reminded to remain vigilant whenever visiting unfamiliar websites that require entering personal information or passwords. And always double check the URL before entering any type of PII. Contact the Defensive Cyber Operations Division (DCOD), Regional Cyber Center - Europe (RCC-E) by email or phone DSN 565-6333, CIV 0611-143-565-6333 if you have any questions.

The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Eritrea and strongly recommends U.S. citizens not travel to the country since there is increasing possibility U.S. citizens will not receive the requisite exit permit from

What is the process? A Child Find team made up of the preschool special needs service provider, speech and language pathologists and the occupational therapist screen the children for developmental delays. These free screenings take place monthly.

How does it work? Parent submits the Child Find questionnaire (which they can pick up in the office or find on the school website); they are set up with an appointment for the screening. When they come in for the screening the child must first pass a vision and hearing screen by our school nurse. Then they are screened by the team. If the child is suspected of having any delays the team will refer them for further formal evaluation.

Why is it important? When learning challenges are identified at a young age, early intervention can help the child with learning tasks.

If parents are interested, what do they need to do? They can go to the schools website (http://www.vilses.eu.dodea.edu/) and find the link for Child Find. Under that link is a questionnaire they need to fill out and email back to the email address provided on the form. Someone will be in contact with them within 48 hours. If they do not hear back please contact the school at 09662 832812 and let them know what happened. (Just in case the email was rejected as SPAM) Attendance E-Mail It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to notify the school when their child will be absent.

Bremen Freimarkt The Bremen Freimarkt, Germany’s oldest fair kicks off Oct. 17 and runs through Nov. 2. Bremen is located in the north of Germany about an hour south-west of Hamburg, so it is not as close as some of the other volksfests, but where else can you go to a fest that is more than 1,000 years old? This festival has changed with the times in the 10 centuries since its inception, but the Freimarkt prides itself on having more carnival rides than any other festival alongside its fantastic market where purveyors of all things food, arts, and craftsmanship offer their goods for sale. Given its close proximity to the North Sea, fish is the main culinary offering with such delicacies as matje herring and smoked eel. While not technically a beer festival, there is enough of an emphasis on German beer to satisfy even the strictest connoisseur.
