We want to live our lives to the full, while keeping our planet healthy and beautiful so our children can do the same. Revolutionising the way we use and produce energy is not only necessary; it is the safest and easiest way to protect our way of life. It's time we chose a clean energy future.
Coal exported from Australia, when burnt, creates more greenhouse gas emissions than every other source of emissions in Australia combined. Right now, Australian mining companies are planning to double coal exports. This drives climate change even harder at a time when Australians are suffering its effects: extreme weather, bush fires, flooding and more. Greenpeace is working to halt the reckless expansion of coal exports by stopping new export terminals proposed for the Great Barrier Reef coast. Read more
Globally, the investment in the renewable energy industry is overtaking fossil fuels like coal. If the world fails to stop the last generation of coal power being, global climate change goals will not be reached. This is good news for people in China and India, where air pollution from coal power stations is killing thousands and sucking vital water sources dry. Greenpeace is speaking out in support of clean energy initiatives around the world by promoting a future that does not rely on fossil fuels for energy. Read more
Greenpeace, Environment Victoria, Quit Coal and many others united to stop the last proposed coal-fired power station in Victoria. Here's how five years of campaigning resulted in HRL's dirty coal project finally being stopped in its tracks.
Nearly 7000 public comments weren't accepted by Indian conglomerate GVK about its proposed huge new coal terminal in the Great Barrier Reef. The reason: they were sent electronically and not by post. So today we delivered the messages in person...
UNESCO's World Heritage Committee has just concluded its annual meeting. Last week's decisions on the Great Barrier Reef have profound implications for its future protection and pose some tough questions for Environment Minister Tony Burke.
In St. Petersburg in Russia the World Heritage Committee is holding its annual meeting discussing the state of conservation of globally significant places on the World Heritage list.
The Federal Government is about to make a critical decision about whether or not it is still acceptable to build dirty coal-fired power stations in Australia.
If you're reading this you probably already know that the Great Barrier Reef is under threat because of rampant industrialisation up and down the coast.

To celebrate the introduction of the new MA in Interior Design at the RCA, Ab Rogers will deliver the first lecture in a major public talk series titled "Talking Interiors" in which the role of the interior will be dissected, evaluated and discussed.
Interior design occupies a unique position, combining the functional and the inspirational, space and object, abstract and concrete – all at a human scale. It has the potential to alter and radically improve the way we work, shop, relax, learn, live and die; it is a powerful commercial, political and social tool. At its best, it combines function, imagination, innovation, technology, poetry and craft.
Eight eminent architects, designers and artists will participate in the season of discussion. Confirmed speakers include Jason Bruges, Jamie Fobert, Konstantin Grcic, Eva Jiricna, Ed Jones, and Penny Sparke.
Ab Rogers is the Director of Interior Design at the Royal College of Art. He is also the Creative Director of Ab Rogers Design, a multi-disciplinary practice based in London working across the commercial and cultural sectors whose clients included Tate Modern, Pompidou Centre Paris, Capital Museum Beijing, Selfridges, Comme des Garçons, COMO Hotels and The Fat Duck.
"Be it a hotel, a museum exhibition, a millionaire's mansion, a café, a department store or a hospital ward, we want to create imaginative yet practical solutions that improve the performance, experience and emotional quality that a space has to offer."
Ab Rogers
Date: Thursday November 8th, 6.30pm – 8pm
Venue: Lecture Theatre 1, Royal College of Arts, Kensington Gore, London SW7 2EU

full-time vs. vacation3
One of the most common thoughts about us (or anyone traveling full-time) is that it's just one big long vacation. This is absolutely not true, for us. If you are independently wealthy and traveling with nary a care in the world or retired and well-set for the rest of your life, then for the most part it probably feels a lot like vacation, otherwise…full-time travel is not a full time vacation. Either you are working on the road and thereby are traveling and living a mobile life but one with work in tow or you are like us, living and doing and seeing and spending your savings to do so. On a vacation you go and see and do and spend your savings….for a week, two at most. Then you go home and go back to work and fill the penny jar back up.
Oh, and when you go for that week or two (unless you're a total work-goes-with-me-everywhere type) you're carefree. You don't take the bills with you, you don't do laundry, go to the grocery store, pay bills, take out the garbage, clean daily, wash your car, wash your "house", do home maintenance and all the other things that makes the life wheel go round and round. Full time travel requires all of this and then some.
People say oh, you're so lucky, you just travel and can do anything and have not a care in the world. We wish. Yes, we are traveling and doing what a lot of people dream about. Yes, we are not working at a 9-5 job. Yes, we have flexibility in our schedule. Yes, yes, yes. We also do all of the above listed chores and constantly have errands (just like the rest of the world), we aren't working full-time (although the blogs substitute for mine and are time consuming just like a job..thank goodness I love it!), but not working full-time means full-time spending so that is nothing like a vacation mentality.. we have to think of our money and budget constantly. We have more home and car repairs than average because the wear and tear is faster from being constantly on the move.
The bottom line is, it isn't a vacation. We are sharing this because if you're thinking of getting "out there" these are major things to think about. Every situation is different. If you're young and wanting to do this you will have many similar experiences, mainly because, chances are you aren't doing this forever. You will have to stop and settle and work, etc..(unless you are working on the road which we have already stated is completely different…although the vacation vs. full-time living still applies) If you are going to travel "full-time" but have a home base, this makes things somewhat easier in that you have a place to bounce back to and possibly stop for more pennies in the bank, but if you are uprooting completely like we did, you will have to have the consideration of where will you stop when you need to, even if for only a few months. This can be much harder than it sounds depending on your criteria or super easy if you have simple needs and expectations.
This if the experience of a lifetime and we are very lucky. Our planning, saving and scheming is allowing us to do something few go out and do. We get to see lots of things and some of them are amazing and lots I now know I could have skipped forever without missing a beat. We have so many fun days and moments but days that feel just like we're on vacay…. not so many. It's reality of life on the road. Not the princess version. So before you say to someone, what do you have to worry about or you're life is so easy, remember life on the road is still life, with all the ups & downs. Real expectations will make your travels a thousand times more rewarding.
*please & thank you* link back to us if you re-post something you see here.
3 Responses to "full-time vs. vacation"
Very thoughtful post, very true, hadn't thought about that before. I definitely didn't think of you guys as "on vacation", but thought of it more as a very fun lifestyle change. So I know you are having fun but maybe not the tons of fun daily that I envisioned. Real life, even on the road!
Yes, you hit it on the nail….. that's what the majority of people think and even when you tell some of them they still don't get it. It is an adventure and it sure as hell doesn't always go as planned, but, not everyone wants two weeks off for good behavior! And, as you say, everyday life is basically the same, home on wheels and a different view out the window. Sean doing the dishes:) and you on your many blogs….

Important Message About Hotel Reservations:
It has come to our attention that unauthorized companies are calling APICS 2014 exhibitors and meeting attendees offering hotel reservations during APICS 2014. Please be advised that the only company authorized to arrange hotel reservations for APICS 2014 attendees is Experient, Inc. If you receive a call or email from any other company offering to make hotel reservations for you over our meeting dates, we urge you not to book with them. These companies are not affiliated with APICS in any way and therefore are not authorized to make reservations on APICS's behalf. While the rates may sound good, unauthorized companies typically require non-refundable pre-paid reservations, and often end up moving individuals to other hotels. If you book with any of these unauthorized companies, APICS cannot protect you if there is a problem with your reservation when you arrive in New Orleans.

text: Many years ago I noticed a problem with regular long-thin-bookmarks. Quite often I'd open the book and waste some time trying to figure where I'd already read to. One solution was to mark the exact place. That worked quite well but sometimes I didn't have a pen or pencil to hand. Then I realized there was a much better, much simpler solution. Mini post-its.

City Hall held their first disciplinary hearing today for Cleveland police supervisors involved in a massive chase last November that ended with officers firing 137 shots and killing two people.
Four supervisors went before Safety Director Martin Flask. Others will go before him later in the week, and still more will have disciplinary hearings before the Chief.
The hearings focus only on the chase. The County Prosecutor is reviewing the shooting for any criminal charges. And so far, administrative charges have only been filed against police bosses. Administrative charges still are expected against potentially dozens of patrol officers.
Union bosses spoke for the officers.
The supervisors going before the safety director face the most severe punishment - even up to firing. No rulings are expected today.
Last November, dozens of police cars chased Timothy Russell across town and into East Cleveland. Officers first saw the car speeding and heard what appeared to be a gunshot coming from it. The driver refused to stop, and officers reported seeing a weapon in the car, but no gun was ever found. Police ultimately killed Russell and his passenger, Malissa Williams.

What contribution does mythology make towards the improvement of society?
On one side we have sciences and technology,which have eased our lives through inventions but what is the contribution of mythology?
Closing Statement from Khayam Arif
Thank you all for your answers...
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 21 2013: Often priests were a source of knowledge and education.
A common believe helps you form a bond, something you and your neighbors have in common that makes it easier to lead people, form countries and work together for a common goal.
It established rules and some kind of punishment. Even when the chances of getting away with a crime are present, you maybe refrain from doing something "evil" because a higher power will punish you even if people don't.
It establishes trust. If that other person has a good live, he or she is probably a good person. So you can trust him or her, work together, trade and form agreements. The belief that a higher being punishes or rewards a person might help get rid of suspicion, which is a huge advantage in building a society.

Residents queue up to receive treatment and relief supplies at Tacloban airport Monday Nov.11, 2013, following Friday's typhoon Haiyan that lashed this city and several provinces in central Philippines. Typhoon-ravaged Philippine islands faced an unimaginably huge recovery effort that had barely begun Monday, as bloated bodies lay uncollected and uncounted in the streets and survivors pleaded for food, water and medicine.

Google now has a way for people to find loved ones in the Philippines in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. The Google Person Finder allows people to post and search for relatives or friends.
MORE: Typhoon Survivors Storm Rice Warehouse Amid Growing Desperation
Not only can individuals search for people, but the press, non-governmental agencies and other groups can also update the database with information, according to the Google site. Websites can also embed the Google Person Finder into their sites or even use its open source software to create their own Google Person Finder after any disaster. Launched in 40 languages, it can be hosted in most countries.
The Google Person Finder was created in response to the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, so victims could contact loved ones. It also stemmed from websites created after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 which also helped people connect with friends and relatives in the affected Gulf states. Now, instead of searching in several registries to find missing loved ones, Google has created on central database that accepts data from other agencies or sites.
The gadget gives users two choices: "I'm looking for someone" and "I have information about someone" which leads them to type in the name of the person. All information is made publicly accessible. A mobile version is also available.
While the reports may only be that a person is alive, for those looking for any information on loved ones, the site may give them some peace of mind.

Tucson, AZ (KOLD) - The January 8th shooting that killed six people and injured 13 others, including Gabrielle Giffords, happened during a Congress on your Corner event where the Congresswoman met with her constituents.
State representatives on Saturday decided that they would honor the Congresswoman by opening their doors on a weekend just as she did so many times.
"The first week after the shooting I wanted to have town halls, wanted to dispell the myth that there was danger in the public and that was just a random act," Arizona State Senator Paula Aboud said.
Aboud gave up her Saturday afternoon to join with other state legislators in welcoming constituents to share their thoughts on what they would like to see happen in the states capitol.
"It's all about the survival of our democracy, we can't let one crazed gunman keep us from talking about politics in public," District 28 Representative Steve Farley said.
Michael Gordy was one of a handful of people who took part in today's town hall style meeting in Midtown. He believes meetings like these can only make our state stronger.
Gordy explained, "Our personal experiences are what they can use that are different then what they already know from their own personal lives."
Gordy says the last thing we should do following the tragedy is leave the ideas of Congresswoman Giffords, but instead let it motivate us to all be part of the democratic process. "Tucson doesn't necessarily want to be remembered for the tragedy, we want to be remembered for what we did because of it and how we changed and made our city better."

Vision, Values, and Purpose
Bringing Values to Life
A key test of whether core values are alive and real in an organization is to ask team members at random to recite those values. If they can't do it without referring to a piece of paper, there are either too many values or they aren't being used in daily operations.
Developing a Team or Organization Vision
Vision is the critical focal point and beginning of high performance. Unless the hard work of striving, building, and improving follows, even the most vibrant vision will remain only a dream.
Focus and Context: The Hub of Leadership
The hub of leadership, Focus and Context, is where the contrast between management and leadership is possibly at its sharpest. It is the very beginning point of strong leadership.
How Many Companies Lose That Loving Feeling
Many successful companies are started by passionate zealots, full of energy and excitement. But once the Technomanagers take over, people are turned into their roles, systems, and processes — then their heart and soul are lost.
Leaders Help People See Beyond What Is to What Could Be
Successful entrepreneurs are leaders with vision who predict the future by inventing it.
Leaders Shape Focus and Context
Strong leaders connect and energize people. They work tirelessly to ensure that no ones loses sight of what it's all about.
Leadership on Purpose
Pursuing profits without a higher purpose or pursuing a purpose without profit are equally fatal strategies. Profits follow from worthy and useful purposes. Fulfilling the purpose comes first, and then the profits follow.
Organizational Visioning Pathways and Pitfalls
Vision is the critical focal point and beginning to high performance. Discover the Organizational Visioning approaches that can help you to avoid the pitfalls and pave your organization's pathway to success.
Our Values Shape Our Character and Culture
The vision and values we choose to fix in our minds today determines tomorrow's character and culture. We start to change who we're becoming and where we're headed when we change what we value and picture in our future.
Pathways and Pitfalls to Clarifying Organizational Values
Effectively using values to care for the context and provide focus to a team or organization can be very difficult leadership acts. Discover the Clarifying Organizational Values approaches that can help you to avoid the pitfalls and pave your organization's pathway to success.
Pathways and Pitfalls to Living Organizational Values
Core values are critical to effectively leading people. Discover the Living Organizational Values approaches that can help you to avoid the pitfalls and pave your pathway to success.
Profits are a Reward, Not a Purpose
Add a richer sense of meaning to our lives by developing purpose aimed at serving others. Profits are a reward. The size of our reward depends on the value of the service we've given others.
The Purpose-Profit Paradox
The paradox to be managed is: Companies that exist only to produce a profit don't last long and companies that don't pay attention to profits can't exist to fulfill their long-term purpose.
Three Core Questions That Define Organizational Culture
The 3 Ps — picture or preferred future, principles, and purpose — are critically important. Our answers to three basic questions define the team and/or organizational culture we are trying to create.
Two Keys to Adding Values
Designing statements, putting them into action and consistently showing what the organization stands for.
Values-Based Leadership Has Huge Pay-Offs
Teams and organizations with well-grounded, shared values that are alive and thriving, have much higher than average performance. These leaders, teams and organizations identify and live their core values.
Vision at Work
A compelling vision of the team or organization's preferred future keeps people from obsessing over present-day obstacles or getting stuck in the past.
Visions Provide the Energizing Context to Reach Our Goals
Goals need to be energized and focused by the larger context of exciting visions. These paint us into the big picture and draw us forward to the future of our dreams.
What We Get is What We See
A few tips and traps on chosen pathways that help teams and people throughout the organization to clarify or clearly see pictures of their preferred future.
With All My Heart and Soul
We need to be less afraid of death and more frightened by an empty life. When we feel the most love, passion, or energy is when we are the most alive. That's when our soul sings.

Tune in to ABC Classic FM on the 25th October at 1pm. With guest artists Siobhan Stagg (soprano) and Simon Martyn-Ellis (theorbo and baroque guitar) it was a great concert, if we do say so ourselves, so don't miss this chance to catch it over the national airwaves.

Here's a small tool that convert's RAW images from your DSLR to TIFF file type.
Here's a small tool that convert's RAW images from your DSLR to JPEG file type.
Just got the fundings from Windows Phone payout and I was again able to build a quadcopter. Unfortunately, 1 motor was busted so instead of selling my tricopter frame, I used it to build one.
so here are the parts
After 2 weeks in the hospital, finally our princess is home.
I thank all her doctors - Dra. Tamayo as her Pediatrician, Dra. Navarro as her Pulmonologist/Pediatrician, Dr. Parinas as her Surgeon as well as the Pediatric Nurses that was there 24/7 closely monitoring her health and activity.
I thank all the people who shared their prayers for princess, our prayers were so strong, her recovery was extremely fast! I couldn't believe it my self.
Thank you all!!
Here are the latest picture.
(click the image for video)My baby daughter was born last Feb. 18, 2014, we named her Sophie Annika. Her complete name is Sophie Annika M. Ragasa. That's her on the image, if you click on it, it will redirect you to a video on youtube. You can hear her grunting.She was born with a respiratory problem due to Meconium Aspiration Syndrome and has a blood infection due to my Wife's UTI problem.Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS)is a medical condition affecting newborn infants. It occurs when meconium is present in their lungs during or before delivery. Meconium is the first stool of an infant, composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus.Due to her MAS, her right lung (I'm sorry, I cannot explain this very well) has an excess air which causes her right lungh to partially collapse. The excess air has to be removed so her right lung could expand and recover. She has undergone an operation immediately. The doctor has to insert a tube into her right side going to lungs to extract the air. It could take days or weeks to remove. The tube could only remove 2 days after she can properly breath on her own without using a ventilator and a supporting oxygen.She is also fighting with her Pnuemonia building up in her left lung.There was also an infection in her blood due to my Wife's UTI. Her WBC (White Blood Cell) with a base line of 4-10, my baby is at 24. They gave her an anti-biotic and after 2 days, it went down to 13 but it was too slow so they shifted into higher anti-biotic.We are praying and hoping for her fast recovery. She's my only daughter. I have two son, the first one has the same situation before but we were so thankful we have passed all the test. He's 4 now and a very very bright child.Our heart crushed again but we are trying to stand up for our daughter. We usually talk to her at NICU. With all the operations, 4 doctors, medications, ventilator, and oxygen tanks.. We are expecting a bill that will rise up and it's not going to easy for us, Me and Wife to pay for everything. Any help means a lot to us, your prayers, donations, personal messages, you can visit her as well if possible. Here's my wife, before the delivery.Here are my two sons enjoying the kite I made for them. Here's my first son, who had the same operation after he was born. He's 4 now, he's thin but we're hoping someday, his body could recoverHere's my second and very very strong baby boy, he's 1 year and half now. He's with his nanny.This is us, Me and Wifeand here's the 3 of themI am sorry if I cannot take a picture of my daughter. But I'll try if you requested. I provided a video of her.
I am trying to raise a fund for medical bills, a small a mount means a lot to us
I had a late night project and I called it Single Axis Gimbal
So I had a late night project and nothing to do.
I have a spare servo here lying around and I read that KK2.1 Flight Control Board are capable of being a camera gimbal. So I watched some videos about it and thought making one but unfortunately, I only have one servo.. I looked around in my stuff and planning to make a camera mount since I have some couple of illustration board here. Lucky, I'm still keeping the TypeS phone holder and my action camera fit very well.
So, I have everything I need and just decided to just make a single axis gimbal. Which is done within a less that an hour.
Here it is now
Here's the outdoor flight
This is my very first quadcopter that I built and all parts were bought from HobbyKing.com
Well basically "Kakatuwan" is simply just KK2.1
Here are the parts list
Parts List
I got them for $176.96 only. It's extremely cheap and it flies very well after setting up the P.I. gains and values in mix editor. The quad looked like a deadcat frame version. I had to modify M1 and M2's AIL and ELE to make sure it flies just like and X Quad.
This is for sale too :) Look up on Sulilt with a query "Newly built quadcopter named Kakatuwan (KK2.1) - ARTF"
A small image resizer thingie. I usually upload pictures on forums and sometimes change my avatar. One thing takes my time is to open up my photo editing application just to resize the image. I have to wait for several seconds or so while waiting for the application to load. I finally made something that is more faster and launches in less than a second. Saves the new image on the same directory where the original image is located at and with a friendly file name.
How to use?
You can drag and drop the picture you want to resize or click "Browse" button to open the image you want to resize, click any of the two (more to come soon I hope) predefined size or override it.

The script is also helpful if you want to check a person on your "facebook friends list" the most inactive friend so you can just probably unfriend them.
You may want to check that article and read it then get back here because I updated the script which now contains the image and the profile link.
Anyhow, the original script looks like this

Every semester Five Towns College offers online courses in most of its degree programs. The College, therefore, has a number of policies for its online courses and each of these policies, although limited in number, is extremely important for maintaining the integrity of the online classes. It should also be pointed out that the College offers no degree program entirely online, or even 50% of a degree program online. The skills, knowledge and abilities taught at the College currently are viewed as requiring face-to-face and/or hands-on-hands instruction.
Assuring that the student taking an online course is in fact the actual person registered for the course is of critical importance to the College. No foolproof method has yet been developed to guarantee the "authenticity" of individuals taking online courses, nor for guaranteeing that, during test taking, an online student does not utilize unauthorized materials and resources.
The College therefore requires students taking online courses to meet three times on-campus with their instructor. The first meeting is termed an "Orientation Session" in which the instructor reviews the class roster with the enrolled students, provides an overview to the particular online course, indicates the expectations for online course performance, and demonstrates the features of the course platform, Blackboard, that will be necessary for the course. The second meeting, "The Midsemester Examination," and the third meeting, "The Final Examination," are to ensure that the students enrolled in the course are also the actual individuals taking the mandatory tests. These examinations are often administered in a regular classroom on campus. If an instructor prefers to give an online examination, then she or he must proctor that examination in one of the College's computer labs.
Every student taking an online course must sign a statement in the Registrar's Office when they register to indicate that she or he is aware of the three required on-campus meetings and that she or he will attend those three on-campus meetings. Instructors have the right to impose penalties upon students failing to attend one or more of the required on-campus meetings and failing to provide in advance verifiable and appropriate cause for their absence.
Computer Hardware and Software
All students registering for online courses must have their own computers or have dependable access to computers for the duration of an online course In addition, all students not living on campus and enrolled in online classes must provide at their own expense their own Internet access, anti-virus software, Internet security software, and Internet browser software. The College provides the online course platform, Blackboard, but because Blackboard is hosted solely by Blackboard, the College cannot be held responsible for down times in course access students might experience from Blackboard. Almost all instructors utilize one or more of the software packages in Microsoft Office. Students lacking MS Office should have access to plug-and-play versions available from Microsoft.
Required Use of a Five Towns Email Address
All students taking online courses must use their Five Towns College email address when communicating with instructors or their fellow students. Instructors are neither required nor encouraged to respond to communications from students using non-Five Towns College email addresses, e.g. @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, @hotmail.com. Insistence on student use of College email addresses assures instructors and students that those communicating online are in fact properly affiliated with the College.
Limitations on the Number of Online Courses Student Take in a Semester
College policy limits the number of online courses enrolled students may take in one semester to one online course. Only when a clear, substantial and demonstrable need is provided by a student can an additional may a student register for an additional online course. The reasons for this limitation on courses are many, including the enrollment caps required for online courses, the popularity of many online courses, and the limited availability of certain required online courses.

BERLIN/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany's financial regulator has doubts about Deutsche Bank's
Regulators across the world are investigating more than a dozen banks and brokerages over allegations they manipulated benchmark interest rates such as Libor and Euribor, which are used to underpin trillions of dollars of financial products from derivatives to mortgages and credit card loans.
While German watchdog Bafin cannot itself impose fines, its input is expected to feed into settlement talks between Deutsche Bank and regulators in the United States and Britain.
Bafin has been reviewing Deutsche Bank's internal findings as part of its own probe and has sent a progress report to Germany's finance ministry, the sources said on Thursday.
This report said that Bafin needed to step up its own investigations into Germany's biggest lender because it disagreed with some aspects of the bank's own conclusions, one of the sources said, without elaborating.
Deutsche Bank's internal investigation is being led by its legal department with the support of external counsel.
Three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters in February that Deutsche Bank's top managers were unlikely to be sacked as a result of the internal probe.
Deutsche Bank, Bafin and the Bundesbank, which is also responsible for banking supervision, declined to comment.
There is no formal deadline for Bafin to deliver a final report. It is too early to forecast the outcome of the intensified probe, the second source said.
One of the two sources said that at this stage there was no sign of a "nasty surprise," without elaborating.
Deutsche Bank has already made provisions for possible fines in the Libor case, sources close to the bank have told Reuters.
Analysts see the likely exposure at less than 500 million euros ($654 million). Swiss bank UBS
Deutsche Bank has suspended or dismissed seven employees involved in setting benchmark rates as part of its own investigations.
Bafin is working with the Bundesbank and accountant Ernst & Young
In February, it said a key issue was whether banks reacted quickly enough once problems became known, and whether they reached the right conclusions.

Lost and Found
Lost and found will be donated tomorrow afternoon.
Share this:
" Positive atmosphere, emphasis on academics and good behavior. We feel safe at HVS."
" The discipline and respect. I like the character training and I feel like my child is safe – that someone is really taking care of him all day."
" We are so pleased with the after school day care. The staff is so organized and they have so many fun things for the kids to do. My child loves it because the day care where we were before was just chaos and kids were always hurting each other or getting hurt."
Mr. Dave has been our bus driver since last year. Please extend our appreciation for him for the wonderful job he does in driving safely and making sure everyone is following the rules. I truly appreciate his passion for safety. He knows he has precious cargo on board. I love that our school feels safe! Thank you.
" I feel like the school truly cares about my son learning."
We have been very happy at this school for years. All our children have been there since kindergarten and have learned so much. They are much more academically advanced then our friends kids.
" That my daughter is being challenged and loves it. I cannot believe how much she has learned this school year."
As of this year, HVS started 5th and 6th grade students rotating classes for their core subjects. This experience has been excellent for my child. He is thriving and his grades have increased.
"The mastering of assignments by re-teaching and re-testing. I want to know that my child is understanding work that will be built upon later."
Our daughter just left to continue her education as a 7th grader. We are so happy to see that she has been well prepared for what followed. She is confident in her studies and that makes her a happy student and us proud parents. We owe most of that to all of the teachers and staff! The front desk staff have also made a big impact in our daily routines! We love Happy Valley School!
This is one of the best schools in the area, by far. I have 2 kids that have attended there for the past 7 years and I think they do a marvelous job teaching our children. Their academics are very high and they have no discipline issues like other schools in the area.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- A front-runner in the 2014 election for Clark County Sheriff has halted his campaign amid accusations of offering a friend a $70,000 per year job that wouldn't even require him to show-up.
Larry Brooks said he used his iPhone to secretly record Major Chuck Adams making the offer in February 2012.
Brooks said the offer was in exchange for campaign contributions, of which he said he has already contributed several thousand dollars to Adams' campaign.
The accusations have spurred an investigation by Clark County Prosecutor, Steve Stewart.
Stewart said it is unclear if any criminal charges will stem from the allegations, but he will be exploring all of it.
Danny Rodden, the current Clark County Sheriff, said Adams is still on the department staff, but he has been removed from the position of spokesperson while the investigation is ongoing.
Adams is undergoing surgery and unavailable for comment. Brooks' attorney is expected to issue a statement soon.

Thomas County - 31-year old Charles Singletary Jr. seems un phased as he learns he's denied bond. Singletary has been arrested for taking his neighbor, 78-year old Carrie Yarborough inches from death in a savage attack in her home on Sanford Heights in North Thomasville Wednesday night.
Captain John Richards, of the Thomas County Sheriff's Department says, "Mr. Singletary's in jail, where he needs to be. I'll do everything I can to make sure that he doesn't get out. And hopefully the judicial system will take care of him."
Police say Singletary robbed Yarborough in her own home of a check book and a cell phone and brutally beat her with her own walking cane.
Investigators say Ms. Yarborough was able to get to a phone during the beating and dialed a random number, the woman who picked up the phone on the other end, may have saved her life.
Lieutenant. Tim Watkins says, "She was able to determine that Ms. Yarborough needed help. She was called accidentally, but she determined that Ms. Yarborough needed help and was able to get help to her."
Caller ID led police to Yarborough's home. Charles Singletary was quickly arrested, and admitted to beating the elderly woman.
Watkins says, "He admitted to doing it, but no reason was given for why he assaulted her. The injuries to Ms. Yarborough were probably the worst I've seen since I've been in investigations for ten years. We're quite amazed that she's surviving." But she is still in very critical condition.
In addition to armed robbery, and two counts of aggravated battery, Singletary has been charged with kidnapping and possession of a weapon during a crime.

Youth with fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders (FASD) are at high risk
of getting into trouble with the law,
according to the FASD
Center for Excellence, funded by SAMHSA's
Center for Substance Abuse Prevention.
To help, SAMHSA recently released
a new training toolkit—Tools
for Success Curriculum: Working with
Youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum
Disorders (FASD) in the Juvenile Justice
System. The toolkit is designed
for a variety of professionals, including
advocates, attorneys, social workers,
probation officers, and health and
social service providers.
Developed jointly by the SAMHSA FASD
Center for Excellence and the Minnesota
Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome,
the curriculum's goal is to
help professionals in the juvenile
justice system identify youth who
may have FASD and deliver effective
Tools for Success is a straightforward
curriculum, with timelines and talking
points provided for each module. A
team of two professionals, one from
the field of FASD and one from the
juvenile justice field, should lead
the course, modeling important cross-system
to Top
Youth with FASD face many challenges
that make them vulnerable to criminal
activity. They can be easily influenced
by peer pressure, can lack impulse
control, and may not understand cause
and effect or learn from mistakes.
According to the toolkit, 60 percent
of people with FASD age 12 and older
face legal troubles. These youth often
cycle through the juvenile justice
system with no recognition of their
disabilities, since many people do
not display physical abnormalities.
Instead, the disorders are displayed
in behaviors that can be misinterpreted
easily. For instance, youth with FASD
can appear uncooperative because they
are confused. They often are unaware
of social expectations or cues, and
police may think them belligerent.
In addition, these youth often are
desperate to make friends, making
them vulnerable for use as scapegoats.
Generally, they tell people what they
want to hear, possibly leading to
false confessions. Because they usually
cannot grasp broad concepts, youth
with FASD may not understand their
Miranda rights.
The comprehensive Tools
for Success curriculum helps professionals in
the juvenile justice system steer
these youth toward a healthy, productive
Facilitator's Manual. The two-volume
manual contains outlines of the seven
modules that range 1.5 to 3 hours
in length, pre- and posttests, PowerPoint
slides, a CD-ROM of all course materials,
group activities, and discussion questions.
1 is an overview of the characteristics,
daily challenges, and financial
costs of FASD.
Module 2 focuses on
the prevalence of disabilities
in the justice system and reviews
characteristics that put youth at
risk for legal trouble.
3 focuses on what happens after
the first contact with the juvenile
justice system, alternatives to
formal court, screening and assessment,
and competency evaluations.
4 gives insights into awareness,
advocacy, community treatment interventions,
and probation.
Module 5 describes effective
education services and
behavior management strategies.
6 explains how transition and
aftercare issues are vital to a
success, with emphasis on employment.
7 discusses finding resources for
parents and professionals and addresses
building community support systems.
Guide for Parents
and Caregivers. This
handout informs parents about FASD,
children's rights in the juvenile
justice system, effective advocacy
strategies, and suggestions for interventions.
Tools for Success is available
free of charge from SAMHSA's
Health Information Network at 1-877-SAMHSA-7
(1-877-726-4727) or 1-800-487-4889

effects that can occur in individuals whose
mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects
may include physical, mental, behavioral, or learning
disabilities with possible lifelong implications.

As a not-so-usual high school senior, I was given an introduction to Thrive training during the National Youth Advisory Cabinet (YAC) Face-to-Face in October. I did not know what Thrive meant at all. The Thrive method is a different way of talking and directing youth to be the best that they can be.
There are some great ideas in Thrive that I want to learn more about, like sparks. A spark is a passion, something that makes a person light up, something that makes you want to be challenged.
Growing up in a household that only paid attention to school grades, I think that finding your spark is the best idea ever. I wish that someone would have been there when I was a child to help me find and master my spark. Identifying my spark at a younger age would have made my childhood much more enjoyable. For me, a spark is music. Knowing that making music and discovering new things is what made me happy would have led to a childhood that was full of experimentation and growth. Just knowing my spark would have made my childhood more engaging and entertaining.
Thrive's method also focuses on reflection. I love the idea of reflecting on what you have just done. Most of the time in my childhood, I would get a grade on an assignment and then just move on to the next idea; I would never stop and think about what I had just done and how I could make it better. This mindset of making what you just did better is something that would have made school so much easier if I had known about it earlier. This is why Thrive's work has to be done with youth professionals! We all need to take time to reflect to be able to learn and improve. Not because you got it wrong, but because you want the challenge!
Although there are many ideas that I love about Thrive, there are some ideas that I still do not understand about growth and fixed mindsets. A growth mindset is when you believe you can do anything that you want with your life. On the other hand, sometimes we have a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is when a person believes that the talents that they have are set in stone and are unchangeable. I want to know what type of speech I need to avoid so that I do not set a child up for a fixed mindset. I can now understand how the use of the phrase "good job" would give children a fixed mindset, because it's evaluating their work. I want to know more phrases and ways to talk to children that would help them adopt a growth mindset.
Personally, I feel that I have an overall growth mindset. I want to do more, and I always want to learn more. Although I have an overall growth mindset, I still have a fixed mindset in some other areas of school. For me, when it came to English, I had come to accept that I was bad at it and not going to get any better. If it had not been for Camp Fire, I would not have pushed myself to try and sharpen my writing skills and eventually publish my writing. Having said what I would like to learn, I can't wait to read the book Mindset to help me understand Thrive more completely and to help me help other people that I may influence.
NOTE: As background on this inspirational story, Camp Fire Heartland provided Jakob a scholarship to attend the Best Buy Geek Squad Summer Academy and the National YAC meeting this past summer in Minnesota. Part of the scholarship agreement was for him to visit three different program sites and write a story about his experiences. Jennifer Smith, Program Manager, Heartland, has been coaching him through this whole process, from editing to helping him grasp Camp Fire perspectives other than his own. Jakob is second generation Camp Fire, and his family has had a long history with Heartland through both club and camp. According to Tara Markley, Director, Camp Fire Heartland, "This is a true testament to Jennifer's work as a youth professional by advocating and encouraging Jakob through this process."

Crews from Huntsville Utilities will be aiding our neighbors to the north, should wintry weather cause outages and disruptions.
Three crews left for Camden TN Thursday evening to answer a call for assistance from the Benton County Electric System. The call comes ahead of an anticipated weather event forecasting freezing rain to begin impacting Central Tennessee as early as Friday afternoon.
Through a mutual aid agreement among TVA distributors, Huntsville Utilities is coordinating with BCES officials to have assistance in position should weather-related equipment damage occur.
Should no damage occur in Benton County, HU officials said crews will be better positioned and remain at the ready to assist other systems in the area that may need help.

Allergan begins trials on hair-growth drug
Irvine, Calif. — Drugmaker Allergan is recruiting volunteers for clinical trials of a hair-growth treatment based on the active ingredient in Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.03 percent), the company's eyelash-growth treatment.
The Orange County Register reports that the recruitment phase should be completed in February. According to information posted by Allergan on the National Institutes of Health's ClinicalTrials.gov website, the trial's initial phase will observe a group of 28 patients, comprising men with moderate male-pattern baldness and women with moderate female-pattern hair loss.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Latisse in 2008 for use in spurring eyelash growth. The Register reports that some doctors use Latisse off-label as a treatment for hair loss.
