Buck Money, left by Beryl Buck to THE POOR, is paying for an elite learning center that just moved to the old Hamilton Air Force Base. Will Robert Buck Rogers and his MILLION AIR buddies be flying in to shoot the shit, and, impress the fuck out of the HAVE NOTS? If you got it – flaunt it!
“Don’t they look so little from up here. I feel like a Greek God. How about you?”
We have come to the end of The Gideon Computer which is housed in this quaint suburban home in Novato. It is a façade! There are no classes held in this house. They have an image of old library card catalogue like the one my protagonist looked in to find info on Nazi Hard Water manufacturing. This is where the Chosen Ones come for a Big Krell Brain Boost so they can be a cut above, and not be a part of common reality. This is a very expensive Non-Drug&Alcohol method to achieve an altered state of mind. The poor will be sucking on a bottle of Thunderbird wine, and sniffing lighter fluid.
In the end, I have poor Gideon Prisoners unveiling the Star Ship they designed – at a hangar!
Big-brained Steve Bannon has declared war on everyone. The Buck Institute for Education must apply its teaching methods, and have its students engage Breitbart Bozos in a Intellectual Slug Fest! I see Bot Battles held in Hangar N0.9. Stop boring the young people. Have Mr. Greene fly Bannon in wearing a gold cape!
Robert Buck started out with good intentions, but, after he had that long conversation with Rosamond at the gallery, he was never the same. Christine knew KRELL THINK, and was trying to harness the Monsters of Her Id. Bob Buck got a unintended boost, and he became addicted. This is why he bid Sneaky Snyder to deaden Rosamond’s fame.
The focus at BIE is apathy. After being taught to turn a blind eye to all problems that don’t concern them, and concentrate on their insolated lifestyle inside the vortex, it is hard to get the students motivated like Berkeley students, and other Bay Area college students.
The gentleman above in fake cowboy hat titles his students ‘Solutionaires’ which suggest having money is better than not having money. Wanting what your parents got is boring.
“Never talk back to any Adult Solutionary, or you be a poor garbage man.”
“Ho-hum!”

Developers want to build a hangar replica for office space near the refurbished military hangars in the Hamilton area of Novato. The complex has 30 commercial tenants in seven hangars. (Alan Dep/Marin Independent Journal)A replica hangar is in the works to bring 54,000 square feet of new office space to Hamilton Landing at Novato’s former air base.
The owners of the 410,000-square-foot property off Hangar Avenue hope to construct a building modeled after the historic aircraft hangars on remaining vacant land.
“The decision with the current ownership is we’ve had a lot of success with the look and historic nature of the hangars, so build something that looks similar to the hangars out there,” said Haden Ongaro, of San Rafael-based Newmark Cornish and Carey, which has leased out the hangars since 1998. “They’d be two-story buildings. They’d have glass space on either side like the existing ones, a high, open truss on the top floor — like a brand new version of the hangars already there.”
Portland-based ScanlanKemperBard Co. purchased Hamilton Landing, a commercial space with seven renovated hangars and sweeping views of open space, for about $82 million in 2015.
The hangars were transformed into office space in the late 1990s. Today they are occupied by 30 businesses, among them Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., the Marin Community Foundation and the Novato YMCA at Hamilton.
With the hangars fully leased out, the property owners decided it was time to create more office space in the unconventional buildings.
“We continue to have interest but no space to lease, which is what prompted us to push this effort further along,” said Gregory Scharlemann, senior vice president with ScanlanKemperBard.
The proposed eighth hangar, slated to sit in front of Hangar No. 7 with the control tower, could house up to four or five organizations, with one group potentially taking over an entire floor. No tenants have committed to moving in.
“I think a logical thing, just because of Marin’s makeup, it could be a technology company, it could be another gaming company, it could be a life science company,” Ongaro said of potential tenants.
Lease rates for the new hangar would be “significantly higher” than space in the existing hangars, which are being leased at $3.35 per foot, Ongaro said. He said the increased cost would offset building costs.
Within the next two months, the project is expected to go before Novato’s Design Review Commission, kicking off the expected six- to nine-month process to obtain a building permit.
Scharlemann said the hangars are coveted because of their open atriums, high ceilings and unique environment.
He said the hangars’ tenants have been stable in past months, with the Buck Institute for Education the last group to move into a 7,000-square-foot space last month.

Since 2015, the Marin County Free Library relocated from Hangar No. 6 to a county-owned site in spring 2015; the ExecRanks moved into Hangar No. 4 in summer 2015; and Worldwise Inc. moved to Hangar No. 6 in late 2015. In spring 2016, MCM Wealth Management moved to Hangar No. 3, and Horizon Pharmaceutical purchased Raptor Pharmaceutical in Hangar No. 7 in fall 2016.
Monique LeSage, a resident of the Villas at Hamilton, a community situated just across Hangar Avenue from Hamilton Landing, said she is against the addition of more office space at the commercial strip.
“They have enough office room now for a residential neighborhood,” she said. “I don’t know where they’re going to park the cars. Under the hangars? It doesn’t make sense to me. It’s just more greed.”
Adam Clein, a Novato resident who does not live in Hamilton but visits the neighborhood several times a week for dog walking, said he has concerns that added office space could drastically increase traffic in the area.
“Especially along Nave (Drive),” he said. “It gets busy here getting to the highway.”
The Hamilton Field air base, named for Marin fighting ace Lloyd Andrew Hamilton, was built in the 1930s. The site fell into disrepair after the Air Force returned the land to the city of Novato in 1974.
Ongaro said the site’s history is what makes the hangars so popular.
“The tenants really appreciate the history of it being a former base and the reuse of interesting structures,” he said. “I think if somebody just built a traditional office building in that location, it wouldn’t be nearly as successful.”

Project Based Learning’s time has come. The experience of thousands of teachers across all grade levels and subject areas, backed by research, confirms that PBL is an effective and enjoyable way to learn – and develop deeper learning competencies required for success in college, career, and civic life. Why are so many educators across the United States and around the world interested in this teaching method? The answer is a combination of timeless reasons and recent developments.
Teacher Professional Development
BIE provides Core Professional Development Services to hundreds of schools in the U.S. and abroad. This exemplary professional development is anchored in two primary forms of support. The PBL 101 Workshop is BIE’s foundational three-day (consecutive, 7.0 hours per day, including lunch) onsite workshop. After our PBL 101 Workshop, we provide on-site Sustained Support Visits since research and experience show that follow-up is necessary for successful professional development, transformation of practice and the sustainability of the PBL initiative.
Systemic PBL Implementation Services
BIE provides systemic PBL implementation services to more than 25 U.S. school systems in support of more than 10,000 teachers. BIE partners with these systems to ensure the sustainability of Gold Standard PBL as an instructional practice. PBL is most successful when the appropriate culture and structures are in place to support it. Our systemic partnerships vary in size and scope but are always aligned with existing strategic plans and innovation goals. Our proprietary planning model results in a three-year PBL initiative that has as its goal the sustainable implementation of PBL across a system. The plan generates a flexible but structured rollout of professional development. It outlines benchmarks and goals.
PBL Institutes for All
BIE partners with regional organizations to conduct PBL Institutes to support educators seeking high quality, cost-effective professional development for PBL. At a minimum, a PBL Institute includes three sessions of our foundational Gold Standard PBL 101 Workshop, along with at least one of the following services: PBL Leadership Academy, PBL Coaching Academy, and PBL 201 workshops. Some Institutes also feature keynote speakers.
Learning’s time has come. The experience of thousands of teachers across all grade levels and subject areas, backed by research, confirms that PBL is an effective and enjoyable way to learn – and develop deeper learning competencies required for success in college, career, and civic life. Why are so many educators across the United States and around the world interested in this teaching method? The answer is a combination of timeless reasons and recent developments.
- PBL makes school more engaging for students. Today’s students, more than ever, often find school to be boring and meaningless. In PBL, students are active, not passive; a project engages their hearts and minds, and provides real-world relevance for learning.
- PBL improves learning. After completing a project, students understand content more deeply, remember what they learn and retain it longer than is often the case with traditional instruction. Because of this, students who gain content knowledge with PBL are better able to apply what they know and can do to new situations.
- PBL builds success skills for college, career, and life. In the 21st century workplace and in college, success requires more than basic knowledge and skills. In a project, students learn how to take initiative and responsibility, build their confidence, solve problems, work in teams, communicate ideas, and manage themselves more effectively.
- PBL helps address standards. The Common Core and other present-day standards emphasize real-world application of knowledge and skills, and the development of success skills such as critical thinking/problem solving, collaboration, communication in a variety of media, and speaking and presentation skills. PBL is an effective way to meet these goals.
- PBL provides opportunities for students to use technology. Students are familiar with and enjoy using a variety of tech tools that are a perfect fit with PBL. With technology, teachers and students can not only find resources and information and create products, but also collaborate more effectively, and connect with experts, partners, and audiences around the world.
- PBL makes teaching more enjoyable and rewarding. Projects allow teachers to work more closely with active, engaged students doing high-quality, meaningful work, and in many cases to rediscover the joy of learning alongside their students.
- PBL connects students and schools with communities and the real world. Projects enable students to solve problems and address issues important to them, their communities, and the world. Students learn how to interact with adults and organizations, are exposed to workplaces and adult jobs, and can develop career interests. Parents and community members can be involved in projects.
- PBL promotes educational equity. All students deserve PBL, since a great project can have a powerful effect and help them reach their potential, and even be transformative for young people. A project that makes a real-world impact can give students a sense of agency and purpose; they see that they can make a difference in their community and the world beyond it.
