Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Independence Township District Curriculum
Strong Language Arts and Mathematics curricula are the priorities for elementary schools. The Language Arts block is broken down into key aspects of a balanced literacy program. Some of the aspects include a read aloud where a particular skill is introduced by guided reading, word study, and writer's workshop. Students are exposed to this scaffolding program each day which offers an extensive amount of practice. The Mathematics program focuses on fundamental topics such as number theory, operations, and measurement. Students work through these strands using practice and practical application.
Older students have options available to them in order to pursue both personal and career interests. Students are offered the chance to join the International Baccalaureate program which allows students to take a two-year program of more challenging classes and earn the I.B. diploma. Advanced Placement classes give students the ability to earn college credit by taking courses that go above the typical high school standards.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Why Students Need Differentiation
It's no secret that each student is a unique individual with their own personal learning style and interests. So, why are some schools still trying to teach all students using the same method and materials? Differentiation is the act of tailoring aspects of a lesson or assignment to meet the needs of each child. One approach to differentiation is to have three options for major assignments that include one for students who are working on level, one for students who need more help, and one for students who can extend the assignment. This approach allows all students to work on the same subject matter, but at their own pace. Another option for differentiation is to assign project types based on a student's strengths and interests. For example, one student may do a project on the Civil War and present the research in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, while another student may present their research in a theatrical skit. While differentiation can seem daunting to teachers, it is a necessary task in order to meet the educational needs of all students.

As a pediatric occupational therapist in Florence, Ala., Miranda Ainsworth spends her days working with children with special needs. So when her daughter Anna Brooke was only a few months old, Miranda already could sense there was a problem. But not everyone shared those concerns.
"Doing what I do and treating children is kind of a catch-22," Miranda explained. "Some people would say it's so good that you have experience with children and you know what to look for. Others would say you're just reading too much into things."
Miranda was not overreacting—her mother's intuition was correct. But while she knew something was wrong, she didn't know she was about to spend the next eight years searching for a diagnosis for her little girl.
The first diagnosis
Early on, Miranda and her husband David noticed things that were different about Anna Brooke, like how strong she was as a baby. "I remember my mom saying wow, she can hold her head up so well!" said Miranda. "But she wasn't supposed to be able to hold her head up that well this early."
When Anna Brooke was nine months old, other problems manifested. She was missing developmental milestones. Her pediatrician sent her to a neurologist, who recommended an MRI to search for answers. But the family's pediatrician didn't think the test was necessary.
"That was really hard and I think parents go through similar situations, when they're trying to figure out what's going on with their child and getting different opinions and just really not knowing which direction to go. But we wanted to be more aggressive so we went forward with the MRI," Miranda recalled.
As a result, Anna Brooke was diagnosed with microcephaly, a rare neurological condition in which an infant's head is significantly smaller than average and thickening in her white matter. Although it explained some of the problems she was having, it did not explain all her symptoms. At three, she was still lagging in her speech development, and her mom noticed her pinky fingers were abnormally smaller than her other fingers.
"For her four-year-old checkup, we met with her pediatrician and I wanted to talk to him about her pinky fingers because that seemed more genetic. I knew that there were a lot of genetic conditions where the pinky fingers are smaller and kind of curved. He walked in the room and we were just on the same page that day."
An intellectual disability?
He recommended they go see Edward Lose, MD, a clinical geneticist on the faculty in the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Medicine Department of Genetics, and the primary clinical geneticist at the Children's of Alabama North Alabama Children's Specialists (NACS) office.
"When we went through the testing the first very time, nothing came up," said Miranda, "so Dr. Lose said we needed to get her another MRI and he wanted us to go to Dr. Bebin."
Martina Bebin, MD, is a pediatric neurologist with a special interest in genetic conditions that cause intellectual disability and/or epilepsy and professor of neurology and pediatrics at UAB. She sees patients at NACS in Huntsville.
Dr. Bebin did an MRI on Anna Brooke, now five years old, but nothing new turned up. The test also did not reveal that Anna Brooke was microcephalic. By this time, Anna Brooke had started kindergarten and Miranda felt under pressure from the school for a definitive diagnosis.
"I was a little frustrated at that point. Because when it comes to school, you have to have a better diagnosis than just developmental delay. The teachers told me if I didn't get a better diagnosis, they would probably have to label her as intellectual disability," said Miranda. "And I said well how do you know it's an intellectual disability? I didn't want that to follow her. It could be me being a mom in denial, but I did not want that to follow her."
The first CSER patient
Although she still did not have a diagnosis, Bebin was confident that Anna Brooke had a genetic condition, so she offered the family the chance to be a part of a brand new genomics project called CSER (Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research) at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology.
"CSER is a project that we have here at HudsonAlpha where our goal is to diagnose children who have unexplained neurological conditions," said Greg Cooper, PhD, faculty investigator at HudsonAlpha. "We use whole genome sequencing, which is essentially looking at every piece of a child's genetic code. What we often find is that children that have these sorts of conditions will have a cause rooted in their DNA that contributes to the challenges that they might be dealing with."
Patients are referred through Dr. Bebin's office, and the clinicians and scientists collaborate to find answers for patients.
Anna Brooke was their first patient.
Her blood was drawn, the sequencing done and then Dr. Cooper's team analyzed Anna Brooke's genome.
"I guess it was about 6-8 months before we got received the news. We were called back back into the office to talk to them and nothing came back," said Miranda. "It was devastating and our thought was where do we go from here? This is the Cadillac of genetic testing so does this mean there's nothing?"
The human genome contains three billion pieces of information. Researchers are learning more about those pieces of information every day, but there are still many unknowns. That also means that even though the first look at Anna Brooke's genome didn't turn up an answer… Dr. Cooper's team kept searching.
Finally, a diagnosis
Miranda had nearly given up. But then…
"In February, we got a phone call out of the blue from Dr. Bebin's office. We thought this genetics thing was put to rest, but they said they ran her blood work through again and found something."
With mixed emotions, the family returned to Dr. Bebin's office. What if this was yet another diagnosis that only explained a fraction of Anna Brooke's problems?
Instead, they had the answers they'd been seeking for eight years.
"They found that a specific gene had a mutation that correlates with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. We were thrilled! It explained everything, to the small finger, the communication difficulties, and even looking back at birth, the feeding trouble. It was a surprise and a relief to know that all of our concerns were justified."
Cornelia de Lange syndrome or CDL, is a rare genetic developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body. The features of this disorder vary widely among affected individuals and range from relatively mild to severe.
"Looking back, it would have been difficult to diagnose her condition without whole genome sequencing because she doesn't fit the textbook case," explained Dr. Bebin.
"There are a lot of families that go through the study, and then they come back months later and we don't have an answer," said Kevin Bowling, PhD, a senior scientist in Greg Cooper's lab.
"But we're learning more information so what we're doing is trying to go back through every family that didn't get a result previously, and do reanalysis using the most up-to-date pipeline, the most up-to-date tools and the most up-to-date literature. By doing that, we were able to go back and re-analyze her case and that's when we were able to find the diagnosis."
Anna Brooke is now 9 years old and is learning to read, write and communicate with others. She spends a lot of time at Stepping Stone Pediatric Therapy, a clinic that Miranda and David opened shortly after they moved to Florence in hopes of helping other children with special needs.
"In our exit interview, I bet they were thinking we were the happiest parents ever interviewed after getting a diagnosis like this," said Miranda. "We were just glad to get answers. We can deal with whatever, but to get an answer that puts it all together, this is what we needed. We needed that for our family."
CSER has provided answers to more than 100 children and families in the Huntsville community and now in its fourth year, the program has expanded beyond North Alabama.
"It's exciting to see how you can implement this state-of-the-art medical technology at the community level," said Bebin. "We try to make it as easy as possible for families and I think the CSER program illustrates that this kind of testing and the team approach can be done outside a tertiary medical center."
"I never dreamed ten years ago that we'd be using genetics on a daily basis and actually be doing something that not only was contributing to our general knowledge about how genetics shapes our health, but in fact contributes in a very direct way a particular person or particular family," said Cooper. "It's very gratifying to make these kind of discoveries and it's also motivation to work harder."

The HudsonAlpha CSER project is funded through NIH grant UM1HG007301.
If you, or someone you know is interested in participating in the CSER project, contact North Alabama Children's Specialists: 256-533-0833 extension 216.
Miranda tells the full story of finding a diagnosis in the following video featuring Greg Cooper and Martina Bebin.

Register for the webinar
Presented by
Beryl Colley
DATE: Every Monday & Thursday
If you register and cannot attend, don't worry, we'll send you a full recording the day after the live webinar.
Beryl was extremely helpful! She worked out a plan of short term goals for me to achieve and gave me a better understanding of my finances. I came out of the consultation happy and very confident.
During our first year of mortgage repayments we have been able to knock $30,000 of principle loan off our mortgage. This was possible because of the loan structure that was set up for us by Beryl. She clearly explained to us the best structure to start repaying our loan in the most cost effective way, based on our situation. If we had gone with a conventional bank set-up (which was the only way we know of before we met with Beryl) we would not be in the solid position we are now in with our mortgage. Her help and guidance has been exceptional."
I have found Bricks and Mortgages act in a professional manner, are quick to take direction and come up with the results, I have purchased 3 properties with the help of Bricks and Mortgages, they are a major part of my advisory team of professionals. Beryl and David bring a wealth of knowledge in the area of finance structures.
Jeremy, Paraparaumu
We were referred to a mortgage broker who just happened to be an experienced property investor as well… Beryl Colley.
On behalf of Ina and my family, I would like to thank Beryl and David, Tania and Sarah for all the help in setting up our finance Its the best experience I ever had.
Keni, Wellington
Before we met Beryl we thought of the possibility of obtaining one rental property. But upon meeting her she inspired us to think outside the circle. Now 18 months later we have a substantial portfolio, far bigger than we ever thought possible.
Beryl Colley works very hard for her clients and goes the extra mile and never gives up until she gets a loan deal for her clients.
David Mckillop
We have been working with Beryl and the team at Bricks and Mortgages to get finance to buy our first investment property. They have been great to work with and have helped with any issues or questions we have had .It has made buying our first investment property an enjoyable journey .We are looking forward to working together again.

Agro-food Park to Rise in Cagayan Town
By: Leander C. Domingo (The Manila Times) – October 13, 2017
A MULTI-MILLION peso Integrated Agro-Food Park (IAFP) to be implemented under public-private partnership (PPP) scheme is set to rise at the Cagayan State University (CSU) in Sanchez Mira town, Cagayan province.
The IAFP will be established in a 50-hectare area that will become the first commercial-scale one-stop-site for agricultural production and processing of food products in Cagayan Valley or Region 2.
To be put up in Sitio (sub-village) Nagbaranganan in Barangay (village) Centro 2, Sanchez Mira town, the IAFP is also a state-of-the-art agricultural production and processing site that is composed of provisions such as agro-industrial economic zone (AIEZ); support infrastructures/industries/communities; leased sites for warehousing of agricultural products and other raw materials, among others; leased sites for industrial farms; business, commercial and entertainment centers; public transport system and terminals/stations; and road networks and utilities.
The establishment and management of the IAFP is the main feature of the Regional Convergence Initiative for Sustainable Rural Development II (RCI-SRD II) under Agro-Forestry Abundance and Productivity using Integrated Technologies through Barangay-based Agricultural Ventures and Advancement (AgAPIT-BAVA)-Convergence Area Development Plan (CADP)
The AgAPIT-BAVA was launched on today.
An initiative and brainchild of Rep. Baby Aline Vargas-Alfonso of the 2nd Congressional District of Cagayan province, the convergence area includes the towns of Santa Praxedes, Claveria, Pamplona and Abulug with CSU-Sanchez Mira Campus as a partner.
Eco-Tourism Destination by 2025
According to Alfonso, the CADP envisions a sustainable agro-industrial location and eco-tourism destination by 2025 with a mission to empower the people in the protection and conservation of resources of the said Cagayan district.
CADP's objectives are to generate and package technologies that will increase agricultural, tourism and other revenues, among others, that could uplift the said district's socio-economic condition.
Meanwhile, the Rural Transformation Centers (RTCs) that will be located in the said district's municipalities will serve as the spokes to the IAFP. The RTCs will be composed of agricultural production areas, its corresponding agricultural, social and commercial infrastructures.
The private sector will provide the funding for necessary equipment and facilities of the project, while the national government through the National Convergence Initiative (NCI)-SRD, CSU and partner agencies will provide legal and technical assistance. A joint venture company may be formed to oversee the project development and management.
The NCI-SRD is a strategy to enhance rural development initiatives through the complementation of resources of government agencies. It also addresses and resolves policy and jurisdictional gap that slows down the effective and efficient implementation of the programs and projects of different agencies.
The convergence was formally institutionalized through the departments of Agriculture, Agrarian Reform and Environment in joint memorandum circular number issued in 2010, which embraced the management approach for watershed ecosystem espousing the holistic perspective of the ecosystem for improved governance and maximized use of resources.
Recently, the RCI-SRD II were joined by the region's Department of Tourism, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Trade and Industry, National Economic Development Authority, Cagayan Economic Zone Authority and other agencies to have a more comprehensive delivery of services that will benefit the people in the rural areas.

On Wednesday Phil Wilson, MP for Sedgefield, attended an event in Parliament to show his support for World Cancer Day, on Saturday 4th February.
The event, where Phil met with representatives from seven leading charities who have joined forces, comes as it is reported that one in two people born in the UK will develop cancer in their life time.
By joining forces, Cancer Research UK, Breast Cancer Care, Breast Cancer Now, CLIC Sargent, Anthony Nolan, Bowel Cancer UK and Marie Curie, hope to make a bigger impact in transforming the lives of millions who are affected by cancer.
Cancer is indiscriminate, and whilst 2 in 4 people survive their cancer for at least 10 years, it remains the single largest cause of death from disease amongst children and young people in the UK.
The charities are calling on people to show their support by wearing a unity band, or donating. The bands are available from each charity on their websites, shops and other retail outlets for a suggested donation of £2. All the money raised from the Unity Bands will go towards the charities individual work, and their work to prevent, diagnose, treat and support those affect by cancer.
Mr Wilson said "I am calling on the people in Sedgefield to join me by wearing a Unity Band, making a donation or spreading the word on social media in support of World Cancer Day which is Saturday 4th February.
"Whatever your motivation – to remember a loved one, celebrate people who have overcome the disease, or to rally in support of those going through treatment – World Cancer Day is a chance to get involved and transform the lives of millions of people who are affected by cancer."

RADleaders is more than just a program. It's a mentorship for girls + boys (grade 6 – 12) who are passionate and ready to make positive changes in their community. This is for the youth who are excited to learn, explore + share the intentional topics we cover each week. We want youth who are ready to stand up, be the change, lead by example and show up completely for themselves and others.
Every class will have yoga, soulwork, inspired + intentional conversations and project work.
THE YOGA – We will use yoga to teach and show them how to feel good in their own skin and work with their incredible bodies as they are now. We will not only be teaching them the importance of yoga on the mat but also how to take yoga off the mat.
THE SOULWORK – We will dive deep into topics that matter, empower them to bravely speak their TRUTH + get REAL + RAW about how and why they feel what they feel. We will show these leaders who they truly are and teach them how to be powerful in their own way. Teaching them life long skills that they can use to live their best lives.
THE CONVERSATIONS – Just like all of our RADkids programs we will always have open, honest + real conversations about topics affecting youth now. The RADleader conversations will go further + deeper. They will gain knowledge and tools to help make changes in the lives of their peers, families and communities. This is space and time when they can safely talk about ANYTHING, without judgment.
THE PROJECTS – For each 6 week session we will work with the teens to create positive campaigns using social media platforms and working within their communities to inspire change + growth.

Disabled Access
We aim to make visiting Countryside Live a comfortable and enjoyable experience for people with disabilities and welcome any observations on further improvements.
Disabled Parking
An area of car park near the main entrance is the designated car park for disabled visitors. Spaces are limited an allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Disabled permits must be clearly visible and access will only be granted to registered disabled drivers or their carers. Parking spaces cannot be reserved.
Inside the Showground
The majority of walkways are of hard-standing and most public buildings and animal areas have ramps or are accessible by wheelchairs. Whilst we try to ensure that the grass avenues are flat, the Showground is on a sloping site which means that some degree of effort is required to push a wheelchair around.
Tickets for disabled visitors are available either in advance and on the gate at the standard ticket price. A special arrangement on admission tickets for disabled visitors where assistance is essential are available on request by calling the ticket line 01423 541222.
Disabled Toilets
The majority of the toilets on the Showground have disabled facilities.
Wheelchair / Scooter Hire
Please note that Countryside Live does not operate a wheelchair or scooter hire service.
Schedule & entry forms are now available to download from our website for #Honey, #Pigeon, #Poultry & #Rabbit class… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

At Saturday night's Democratic presidential debate, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said he would fix the economy in part by closing the gender wage gap. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also brought up "equal pay for equal work," implying that is not currently the case and that there is some unspoken rule in business that women can be paid less.
The problem with this statement is that the gender wage gap is due to the choices women make and is therefore not fixable unless those choices are controlled — which is a ludicrous suggestion.
And it's not even properly called a "wage gap," it is more appropriately called an "earnings gap," because that is the claim that women earn 77 or 78 cents on the dollar compared to men.
Women as a whole earn less than men as a whole because women are more likely to stop working to take care of a baby, to work fewer hours and to go into lower-paying fields. The 77-cent claim doesn't actually compare apples to apples, it compares apples to oranges.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

BREWSTER, N.Y. - The Cultural Arts Coalition announces auditions for its production of "You've Got Hate Mail" by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore.
This production will be directed by Margaret Carey and produced by Judy Marano, with proceeds going to the renovation of Old Town Hall Theater in Brewster, NY.
"You've Got Hate Mail" takes a comedic look at the world of on-line hook-ups and break-ups.
Love "bytes" when an extra-marital affair goes horribly wrong, thanks to a juicy e-mail sent to the wrong mailbox. The story is told entirely in e-mail from laptop computers, although the play still manages to have an unforgettable chase scene fueled by cell phones and PDAs.
The play consists of three female and two male characters between the ages of 20 and 50. Auditioning actors should have excellent comedic timing, energy and script memorization skills. All roles are open. Please be aware: this show is for mature audiences only due to intense adult themes and strong language.
You will be asked to perform a reading from the script. Sides will be provided at the auditions only. Visit their website at www.oththeater.org for more information.
Auditions will be held on Monday, Feb. 27, from 7-9 p.m. at Studio Around the Corner at 67 Main Street, Suite 101 in Brewster.
The entrance is located at the back of the building. There has been a change to the original show dates. The performances will now be held on April 28 & 29.
For more information or to schedule an audition, email email@example.com, call 845.363.8330 or visit www.oththeater.org.

Everyone has their own preferred method of travel. Car, train, boat, bicycle (if the distance is short or you're incredibly determined), and plane are the normal go-to's in America. Me? I love travelling by plane. However, I absolutely hate booking my flights. Air travel might be the fastest way to get you where you need to go, but it's also often the most expensive option.
Odds are, you will spend more hours searching for deals on flights than you will actually spend flying in the air. To ease the pain of ticket shopping, consider these tips for booking the cheapest flight. You might just save yourself some money that can be used on much more important items, like a nice pair of crying-baby-cancelling headphones.
1. You have 24 hours to change your flight.
David Woo
A lot of airlines offer a 24-hour cancellation window. If you find a better deal, or change your mind altogether, you can cancel your flight for a full refund. Just be sure to check your airline's policy before booking.
2. Fly during off-seasons.
Moyan Brenn
Summer and Christmas are peak travelling seasons for airports. For a cheaper flight, book your flight during the off-seasons.
3. Certain days are cheaper to fly than others.
Alex Graves
Some days of the week are more expensive to fly on than others. For the best fares, try scheduling your flight on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday.
4. Book on a Tuesday.
Clare Bell
Tuesdays are not only one of the cheapest days to fly, they're also one of the best days to book a flight. Airlines typical run sales Tuesday through Thursday for flights two to three months in advance.
5. Use social media.
Travis Travel Gear
If you have a Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook account, consider following your favorite airlines to gain exclusive deals.
6. Bundle your flight, car, and hotel.
Marcos Ferro
It's typically cheaper to book your rental car, hotel, and flight together. Hotels are more inclined to discount their rooms this way to avoid appearing cheap.
7. Take a red-eye.
Getty Images
Despite not being the most fun time of the day to fly, red-eye flights are consistently the cheapest. Early morning flights are your second-best option.
8. Rack up points.
Larry Johnson
Airlines love customer loyalty. While it might be cheaper to switch between different airlines, consider paying a little more in order to earn points with one. Perks such as free miles, free luggage, and priority boarding can be attained with enough reward points.
9. Book your parking in advance.
Associated Press
If you're going to leave your car at the airport, consider booking your spot in advance. It could save you a few bucks.
10. Use different airports.
NATS Press Office
The bigger the airport, the busier it is. Try flying through a smaller airport. In fact, some cheaper airlines prefer them.
11. Give smaller airlines a try.
Small Planet Airlines
Again, smaller airlines are a good option. Forgo the frills and save some money on a great deal. Peanuts are overrated, anyway.
12. Be flexible.
Sombilon Photography
Depending on the nature of your travels, this one might be hard. If you have the ability, be flexible with your dates. Extending your trip by a few days could save you big bucks.
13. Clean up your searches.
Getty Images
Clear up your cookies and cache to make sure you're getting the newest deals. Something that simple could prevent you from missing out on some sweet specials.
14. Go directly to the airlines.
Mikhail Panchenko
It's a common misconception that airlines only post their most expensive fares on their website. Not true. Airlines would rather have you pay them directly, so, often times, you'll find the best fares directly on their website.
Be sure to SHARE this money-saving tips with your friends and family.

Intoxicated and "Intexticated" Driving: It's All A Distraction
Corpus Christi Police Still Investigating Hit and Run Death Case
Answer the following question to subscribe to our newsletter
Monday, April 13, 2015
A tragic motorcycle accident occurred on Saratoga Blvd in front of the HEB Plus on March 29, 2015. Police investigation of the facts of the crash indicate that a driver of a minivan attempted to cross multiple lanes of traffic on Saratoga Blvd to make a u-turn and did not see the oncoming motorcycle which was traveling in the center lane of Saratgoa Blvd in front of Huntington Square.
The driver of the motorcycle, Wayne Fowler, lost control of the bike as he attempted to avoid colliding with the minivan and suffered serious head injuries as a result of the crash, despite the fact that he was wearing his helmet at the time. He was treated in intensive care at Christus Spohn hospital for the next two weeks but unfortunately died of his injuries late Thursday night.
The passenger of the motorcycle, Lorraine Villarreal, also suffered serious head injuries as a result of the motorcycle crash and died a day after the accident. She was 25 years old.
Hearing news like this is scary...I personally drive at this location almost every day. It certainly makes you realize how valuable your life truly is. My purpose in sharing this news is to increase awareness and to hopefully increase safety on our roadways.

Author: Gwenda Bond
Date of Publication: 5th July 2016
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 3/5
***Netgalley Review***
There is a certain mystique surrounding circus life which I would imagine translates well into YA. However over the years I've read surprisingly few fantasy YA books set in the circus.
In Girl in the Shadows, Gwenda Bond certainly creates a great romantic partnership with Moira and Dez. Them together was perhaps the very best thing about the book. Their relationship develops steadily and naturally, with their feelings for each other increasing as their trust for each other grows. I really enjoyed Dez and I liked they way Moira acted when she was with him. When she was on her own / with other characters, she fluttered between great and okay in terms of characterization and decision making.
There were some stand out supporting characters – I really wanted more of Dita – and of Nancy Moroni! I realised afterwards that this is a sequel, with the previous book focusing on Jules and Remy. I would have loved to have read their Romeo and Juliet style adventure first, but alas – by the time I was aware that it existed, it was too late. Can book number three be a Nancy prequel??
For all the good that there was, I feel there was a substantial sacrifice for the great central relationship between Dez and Moira – namely the story. Often the plot felt a little jumbled and rushed, with not enough time spent on developing Moira's growing friendships with the other members of the Cirque. As a result of this, some actions by Moira, and the baddies, seemed a little silly. I wasn't sold on the Rex as a big bad either, feeling that his character was just a little underwhelming. The whole lore of magic felt a little lost among other things, and often a little unclear on its own rules.
Overall, this was a fun read, but it was less miraculous and more middling in terms of enjoyment for me.

The state attorney in Seminole County, Fla., said that a grand jury will be convened to investigate the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old whose killing at the hands of a neighborhood watch captain in an Orlando suburb has become national news.
"I share in the desire of the family and the community to accurately collect and evaluate all the facts surrounding the tragic death of Trayvon Martin," Norm Wolfinger, the local state prosecutor, said in a statement. "The public is entitled to no less than a thorough, deliberate, and just review of the facts. We intend to honor that commitment."
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch member who admitted to shooting Martin, has not been arrested or charged in the case. The police department in Sanford, Fl. have come under scrutiny for not bringing charges against Zimmerman. Last week, local prosecutors turned the case over to the state attorney.
Wolfinger said the grand jury would be called into session on April 10.
The lawyers for Martin's family, however, said that the move is a way for the Sanford's local police and prosecutors to pass the buck.
The news comes just hours after the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI said they would look into the "facts and circumstances" surrounding Martin's shooting.
George Zimmerman defense team launches social media campaign.
The defense team for George Zimmerman, the man charged with murdering unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, has launched a new website, Facebook and Twitter account designed to dispute misinformation and provide "a voice for Mr. Zimmerman."
"We understand that it is unusual for a legal defense to maintain a social media presence on behalf of a defendant, but we also acknowledge that this is a very unusual case," Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney, wrote on the website, gzlegalcase.com.
O'Mara said that "social media in this day and age cannot be ignored," and that it would be "irresponsible to ignore the robust online conversation" around his client's case.
Judge Grants George ZImmerman Bail
A Florida judge has granted bail for George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch captain accused of second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester set Zimmerman's bond at $150,000, but said he would not be released today, pending deliberations about the terms of the release.
The bail hearing featured dramatic testimony from Zimmerman, who took the stand and offered an apology to Martin's parents.
"I wanted to say that I am sorry for the loss of your son," Zimmerman said, adding that he did not know how old Martin was or that he was unarmed.
"I thought he was a little bit younger than I am," he said. "I did not know whether he was armed or not."
Judge in case steps down due to concerns over conflict of interest.
The judge who was set to preside over the trial of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin has stepped aside.
Jessica Reckseidler's recusal from the trial comes after Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney, suggested that her husband's job as a partner to Mark NeJame, a CNN legal analyst covering the trial, represented a conflict of interest.
NeJame was initially contacted by Zimmerman's family to represent him, but NeJame suggested O'Mara.
The new judge in the case will be Kenneth R. Lester, Jr., who has presided over several much-covered cases, including ordering the release of a schizophrenic woman from a state mental hospital after she was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting deaths of her parents and sentencing an ax murderer to death after he killed a 71-year-old man. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Lester is popular among attorneys and is known for acting quickly.
The judge who would have been next in line to handle the Zimmerman case after Jessica Reckseidler could not take on the case because he had previously worked with O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney.
Michelle Obama: Martin's death a 'tragedy.'
First lady Michelle Obama says her "heart goes out to the parents" of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teenager who was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida.
Mrs. Obama says in an interview with NPR that all parents understand "the tragedy of that kind of loss." Martin was shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who has claimed self-defense.
The first lady says it's important "not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that's grieving and there's been a tremendous loss." She says, "we all have to rally around that piece of it."
Police initially didn't charge Zimmerman in the Sanford, Fla., shooting, leading to nationwide protests. Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder last week.
Scrutiny for Sanford puts cramp on small businesses.
As scores of media personnel and activists descended upon the area, residents and businesses found themselves facing very public scrutiny and a growing fear that the community was harboring a racially hostile environment -- which prompted locals to cut back on their normal routines, including shopping. "There was an air that the community was on the verge of bad activity or violence and that is not the case," Nicholas Mcray, Sanford's director of economic development, said. "There was never any kind of trend of violence, but that was the perception put out by the media."
While it's been weeks since the shooting, the small businesses that make up Sanford's historic downtown continue to suffer, with some businesses seeing up to a 50 percent drop in activity. "A few convenience retailers are seeing a 2 to 3 percent increase, but the downtown area is really taking a hit," Mcray said.
ALEC, lobbying group behind Stand Your Ground laws, changes tack.
The American Legislative Exchange Council, the controversial corporate-sponsored lobbying group whose push for "stand your ground" gun laws and voter ID legislation ignited grassroots protests, announced Tuesday that it is getting out of the social policy field to focus on core economic issues.
Corporations associated with ALEC had been under siege from public interest and civil rights groups who demanded they cut ties with ALEC, most recently because of its successful push to pass "stand your ground" legislation in multiple states. Florida's version of that law has been cited as a reason why neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was not initially charged in the deadly shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Several companies -- including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Kraft and Intuit -- had already distanced themselves from ALEC before Tuesday's surprise announcement.
George Zimmerman arrives at jail
The Associated Press is reporting that Zimmerman has arrived at jail.
George Zimmerman charged with second-degree murder, in custody
Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey announced that George Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder.
According to CNN, Zimmerman turned himself in and has a new attorney, Mark O'Mara. During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, he former employees announced that they had lost contact with Zimmerman and would no longer be representing him in the case.
If convicted, Zimmerman could face life in prison.
Reports: Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin's death.
A day after George Zimmerman's attorneys stepped down because they had lost contact with him, the special prosecutor in the case will bring charges against him, according to reports.
The Washington Post is reporting that special prosecutor Angela Corey will announce charges against Zimmerman for his role in Trayvon Martin's shooting death. Earlier this week, Corey said she would not convene a grand jury in the case. Under Florida law, only grand juries can issue murder charges, which means that Zimmerman will face lesser charges.
Police car shot several times near scene of Martin shooting.
Around 4:30 a.m. this morning, an empty police car near the gated community where Trayvon Martin was shot through with bullets several times. The police in Sanford are investigating the crime.
Sanford's police department has come under withering criticism for its handling of the case. Yesterday, a group of student protesters blocked the entrance to the police headquarters, forcing the department to shut down for several hours.

Once again, the Flight Deal has come through with an amazing deal, and I booked flights for $369 per person. The flights are on LAN airlines, in August: 4 nights Iguazu Falls, Brazil, and 3 nights Lima, Peru on the way back.
Of course, I have no idea where to stay or what to do – other than see Iguazu Falls, of course.
Will you help? Any and all suggestions are welcome!
I visited Brazil in 2006 – I ran the half marathon in Rio. The visa at the time only was 5 years, so I need a new one. Is it still as complicated as it was 9 years ago?
As for hotels, I would prefer a cute, boutique hotel or inn, around $100 per night or less. Probably closer to Foz do Iguacu. Any tips?
Restaurants? Sights? Tours?
Hotels – I would probably stay at one of the two Club Carlson Radisson hotels. Any suggestions as between the two?
Sights? Shopping?
Restaurants – one person already suggested Astrid and Gaston for the fancy, once in a lifetime, type of restaurants. Other than that, any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

The mystery of Easter Island
The mystery of Easter Island has intrigued travelers and scientists for many years. Where did the islands inhabitants come from? How did they made and transport those giant statues and what caused them to overthrow all they had erected with so much effort? We go to one of earth's most remote places to look for an answer.
Easter Island from the air
Easter Island history
Easter Island (or Rapa Nui) is one of the most isolated islands on Earth. Officially a territory of Chile, it lies far off in the Pacific Ocean, more then 2.100 miles (3400km) away from the mainland. Although it is not agreed when people first arrived on Easter Island (most sources speak of 1200 AD), consensus seems to be that the first peoples arrived from Polynesia. Scientists found out that Easter Island was colonized deliberately by large boats with many settlers, which is a remarkable feat, given the enormous distance of Easter Island from any other land in the Pacific.
The first islanders found a paradise. The island was covered with trees to provide the natives with cloth, rope, and canoes. Lots of birds living in this tropical forest provided food for them. A mild climate favored an easy life, and the waters around Rapa Nui were plenty of fish and sea fruits.
The islanders prospered due to these advantages, and a reflection of this is the fabrication of giant moai, or heads, that are the island's most distinctive feature. These Easter Island statues are depictions of ancestors, whose presence likely was considered a blessing over each small village. It has been suggested that the isolation from all other peoples fueled this outlet of creativity lacking any other significant way for the inhabitants to direct their skills and resources.

However, as the population grew, so did pressures on the island's environment. Deforestation of the island's trees gradually increased, and as this main resource was depleted, the islanders would find it hard to continue making spears, canoes, and all the necessities to stay alive. Confidence in the old religion was lost, and is reflected partly in the ruins of moai which were deliberately toppled by human hands. By the end of the glory of the Easter Island culture, the population had crashed in numbers, leaving only a few hundred native Rapa Nui left by the last century.
The first-recorded European contact with the island was on April 5 (Easter Sunday), 1722, when Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen visited the island. He gave it the name Paaseiland (Easter Island in Dutch). Today, Easter Island is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its residents rely much on the tourism and economic links to Chile.
Things to see
The biggest tourist attractions on Easter Island are, of course, the Moai. All of the sites can be visited for free and are mostly found along the coastline of the island. Each village typically had an ahu (a stone tablet on which the statues were placed) and several Moai.
Moai on ahu (Photo by enjoyourholiday.com)
Two other sites you have to see are the volcanic craters of Rano Kau and Rano Raraku. The quarry at "Rano Raraku" is where the moai were created, out of the hillside of the volcanic rock. This 300 foot volcano provided the stones for the great figures and is where a visitor can see various stages of the carving, as well as scattered partially-finished figures. A climb to the left side of the crater, over the top, and into the bowl, is well worth it. Hiking to the opposite lip of the crater, where the most moai are found, is one of the most dramatic sites on the island.

Similarly, Rano Kau is the remains of a volcanic cinder cone, which like Rano Raraku, is filled with fresh rainwater and has a mottled unearthly appearance that is breathtaking. The entry fee is 60 US dollars total for the two sites. Make sure you keep your ticket.

An often overlooked but fascinating aspect of Easter Island is its extensive cave system. While there are a couple of "official" caves that are quite interesting, there is also real adventure to be had in exploring all of the numerous unofficial caves on the island, most of which are found near Ana Kakenga. While the openings to most of these caves are small (some barely large enough to crawl through) and hidden, many of them open up into large, deep and extensive cave systems. Be careful! These caves can be dangerous and can run extremely deep. A person left without a torch/flashlight will be immersed in utter blackness with little hope of finding their way out soon... if ever. The caves are also extremely damp and slippery.
Getting there
Due to its remote location, the island is hard to reach, with a minimum of more than 5.5 hours in the air from the nearest continent, and very limited options to get there. The only regular flights are via LAN Airlines. They fly weekly to Tahiti and daily to Santiago de Chile. With no competition for fares on this route, fares range between US$300-US$1200 round trip from Santiago.

Choosing the Correct Color Temperature for Your Application
-Jun 21, 2015-
Before designing a custom illumination solution, it is important to choose the correct Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) for your application. The CCT (measured in Kelvins), is a specification of the color appearance of light emitted from a source, most commonly referred to as warm white (3000K), neutral white (4000K) and cool white (5000K). When determining what CCT to use for your application, imagine a scale from 1000K (very red) to10000K (very blue). The higher up the scale you go, the closer the light resembles blue daylight. Use the following tips t...

What's an R9 Value?
-Jun 10, 2015-
In order to define an R9 value, it is important to understand the Color Rendering Index (CRI), which measures the light source's ability to show object colors "realistically" or "naturally" compared to a familiar reference source, either incandescent light or daylight. The CRI metric is broken down into 14 color ranges (R1-R14). CRI is an average value based on R1-R8, but doesn't factor in the remaining six additional color references (see illustration below). A high CRI, paired with a high R9 value produces the most accurate display of color. Photo Credit: Eye L...

It had been a long week. The days were filled with preparing, and distributing Love Packs (personal hygiene items, toys and stuffed animals for the kids, and a bag of holiday treats) through south central Mexico to many who most likely would not receive anything otherwise. We had traveled from village to village winding precariously through arduous driving conditions. The group was growing weary. Only the joy and challenge of working with the kids in each village, made it well worth it every time we headed out. Our small band of strangers from all over the United States and Mexico had become a tight knit Love Pack distributing machine, and more importantly we had melted into a family unit. The village on Paso de Piedras was our final stop on the trip. As much as we were sad that our time together was coming to a close, there was a bit of relief that we were accomplishing a task that seemed so large when we started.
We bounced over the washboard trails that led to the small quiet fishing village. For forty minutes we dodged and swerved continuously trying to miss the barrage of neverending potholes but at times it felt like we hit them all regardless of our efforts. Battered and tired we arrived at the village. After we set up, we had some time to kill so we went to go see the presa, or lake, that the village was seated on. It was a beautiful sight, but we didn't have time to take all its majesty. We could hear the music trickling out of the village up on the hillside, so we new it was time to head back. We were about to start our final distribution.
This entire week we had been working with a group of orphans who were traveling with us. In each village they worked with the kids of the village. It was the orphans that taught them songs, played games with them, and helped distribute Love Packs to those who had less than them. Each time it was so humbling to watch these children of whom were at one point abandoned, give so much love to other children they didn't even know. That so eclipsed any sacrifice I might have thought I was making by being so far away from home. Those who had at one time been deemed of no value by those who should have cherished them, were cherishing strangers by giving value to them.
After the festivities of the Love Pack distribution were over the pastor of the local church prepared a meal for us. It was a god send. I remember the weather was warm with a refreshing cool breeze coming off the lake. Feasting on ceviche (the best I have ever had) and fried fish (cooked to perfection), we sat in our plastic Corona brand beer chairs on the hilltop and enjoyed the serene views of the lake. Like little diamonds in the sun the lake reflected through the palm, plantain, and papaya trees. There was something magical, more like spiritual about that moment.
I bet that if you close your eyes, you go there for a moment. Can you hear the lake lapping gently against the boats tethered to the shore? Feel the laughter reverberate in your chest from great conversation with friends new and old. The aroma of fresh fried fish and tortillas on an open flame fill your nostrils and your very being. All of your senses are experiencing something so fulfilling and joyful, it carries over to something that is palatable to the soul. Now open your eyes.
It is the golden hour. My photographer spidey-sense is going off. Great photos are to be had on the shore right now. I convince my party to join be. With full stomachs and hearts we hike and laugh our way to the lake once more. Upon arrival, the laughter stops. Silent awe overtakes our merry tribe. The bright blue skies had turned to gold and red. Mountains now were overtaking the sun on the horizon, shooting their bold silhouettes across the lake while simultaneously piercing shafts of light emanated from the setting sun. The sky filled with birds of all types were coming home in droves to roost for the night. Pods of pelicans splash down right in front of us. We are surrounded by motion, yet all is peaceful and calming. For a moment, I forgot that I was a photographer. It was only us connected to each other, together connected to creation and the maker of it all.
I snapped awake from an internal transcendental moment and raised my camera and began snapping. Now I was determined to capture this warmth, this holy moment for myself and to share with others. Several photos became my favorite from this set, partially because of their context and partially because the environment was ripe for great photos. Planar Avionics one of those photos. One bird place perfectly on a matte of fire and sky. This photo represents a mission accomplished, a family forged, and how humbled I was just to be a part of it all.
