How will you feel, depressed or on a natural high flying with the Most High?
When the past catches up with you and you find yourself depressed, forgive yourself knowing the Most High (TMH) does not condemn.
My past caught up with me and my spirit has been flying high making it difficult for me to ground Self long enough to share the experience through words. In Oneness I asked TMH to ground me so I could share...
Ten years and too many earthly transition later, I received a call from a dear friend that I was unable to contact before leaving home. It's hard to express how much the Loving emotions that poured through the phone; it was overwhelming during the reconnection. It took others to remind me that the "small" actions we think we do for others are actually not as "small" to the receiver. I enjoy sharing my blessings and this call was a joyful reward and reminder of what I shared in the past.
I am not one who requires confirmation of my actions from others. Peace of mind with high flowing energy is what I seek from TMH. This is why I write watch the level of your thoughts and patterns, look for the positive in every situation we experience in life.
Unconditional love is joyful and painful. We must embrace the pain in love as we do the joy. When we do our spirit flies freely on a natural high in Oneness with TMH.
There are many who do not experience this type of high due to their level of thought-pattern. Some may for a short period of time for a sharing of information, exchange or session but they are unable to stay on such a high frequency too long, their normal vibrations can not keep up to continue flying high. They usually place blame elsewhere.
I was also reminded while in Oneness - "Queens are not Goddesses and their duty is only to fulfill the earthy needs of men in the flesh until disregard. It is why you are happy for them. It's given you time to fly freely." ….

Carbonfree® Partner Waymark Wealth Management Helps Clients Live Better LivesWritten by Linda
A good wealth management firm helps its clients get their financial house in order - a great one makes sure its own house is in order, and is accountable to clients and to operational sustainability as well. New Carbonfree® Business Partner Waymark Wealth Management, located in Westborough, MA, does just this. The firm made the commitment to neutralize its estimated annual operating emissions by joining the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program earlier this year and supporting Carbonfund.org's forest preservation projects around the world.
The values based independent wealth management firm helps individuals and families align their personal values with their investments and financial decisions. The firm also works to minimize its carbon footprint as much as possible. Co-Founder and Managing Partner Sean Fair participated in the NYC People's Climate March in 2014 with many other investment companies to show the need for the investment community to take the lead on investing in a sustainable manner. The staff strives to operate as paperless as possible, and use recycled and 100% wind powered generated paper products when required. The company car is electric, and this year, the firm is starting an annual golf tournament to support the local land trust.
"We are all a part of a very delicate and often times misunderstood ecosystem," expresses Sean Fair, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Waymark Wealth Management. "Environmental and social stewardship must be a priority for everyone if this world is to become the place we all want for our children and future generations. Simply shirking ownership or kicking the proverbial can down the road is no longer an option. We want to help people understand that with every dollar you spend whether it is at the grocery store, buying clothes, the car you drive or money invested in the stock market, you are essentially giving those companies "votes of approval" for how they do business."
"If we all want sustainability then we need to make sure that we are investing and spending our money with companies that are helping the world achieve that goal. To that end, we are proud to partner with a great non-profit like Carbonfund.org to make sure our company is helping do its part."

Carbonfree® Partner Beachy Cream Offers Certified Organic Ice CreamWritten by Linda
Summer is fast approaching, and as temperatures climb and everyone heads to the beaches, thoughts turn to the delights of creamy, cool summer ice creams. New Carbonfree® Business Partner Beachy Cream is helping to satiate ice cream lovers through its store in Santa Monica and through grocery stores and restaurants in the broader southern California area. Beachy Cream manufactures and sells only certified organic ice cream, all of which is made in small batches, with locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, such as dairy products from Straus Family Creamery and produce from the local farmer's markets.
This year, Beachy Cream made the important decision to join the Carbonfree® Business Partnership, to expand on its responsibilities as a Certified Santa Monica Green Business and to neutralize 36 metric tonnes of operating emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon emissions reduction, clean energy and forestry preservation projects.
"At Beachy Cream, we are committed to organic because we believe it is the best hope our planet has for improving our environment and all living beings," explains Ann Ryan, CEO and Founder of Beachy Cream. "We are honored to be partnered with Carbonfund.org and share its vision, values and goal to fight global warming."
With tempting flavors like Strawberry Balsamic Swirl and Candied Ginger, along with several vegan flavor options and hot dogs, chili, grilled cheese and more at the Santa Monica shop, Beachy Cream is sure to lead the organic ice cream revolution and stand out as a sustainable business operation as well. Carbonfund.org is pleased to welcome Beachy Cream to the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program.
TK&A "Challenge for Sustainability" Yields First CS&E ReportWritten by Linda
Tsoi/Kobus & Associates (TK&A), an architectural, interior design and planning practice headquartered in Cambridge, MA with over three decades of service to its clients and community, attributes much of its success and cultural alignment with the green building movement. In 2000, TK&A joined the US Green Building Council (USGBC) to enhance and expand the firm's expertise and became an early adopter of pursuing Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification for their clients' projects, including the first LEED certified buildings on the campuses of Washington University, Boston College and a LEED Core & Shell (CS) Pilot Project. In 2009, TK&A joined "A Better City," a consortium of Boston-area businesses whose goal is to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through their "Challenge for Sustainability" program. TK&A engaged in the program and has taken the steps to initiate annual reporting of its own business operations through a Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility Report, including a detailed accounting and neutralization of the firm's annual operational carbon emissions, in partnership with Carbonfund.org.
Since 2011, TK&A's firm-wide carbon emissions offset program has resulted in a balancing of 1,877 metric tonnes (MTs) – over 4 million pounds - of CO2 emissions from its operations (504 MTs in 2014). The emissions neutralization program has had the same positive environmental impact as planting 48,000 tree seedlings and allowing them to grow for ten years.
TK&A plans to continue tracking and offsetting operational emissions while simultaneously engaging staff to help reduce the firm's impacts on the planet, engaging staff in daily mindfulness of sustainable behaviors that benefit the business and their practice. These efforts culminated in The City of Cambridge awarding TK&A two "Go-Green" awards in 2012 in the Large Business Category for "Transportation" and "Climate Change."
Carbonfund.org congratulates Tsoi/Kobus & Associates on its progressive positions on operational sustainability and reporting, and for continuing to achieve Carbonfree® business operations.

Nonprofit Technology Network Announces 15NTC Event Made Carbonfree®Written by Linda
The Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN) announced its first ever Carbon Emission Offsets Sponsor—Intacct—for the 15NTC (Nonprofit Technology Conference) this past March in Austin, Texas. Through the generous sponsorship of Intacct, and partnership with Carbonfund.org, NTEN was able to offset the impact of 971 metric tonnes of CO2 produced by the event's activities.
This is a big number, but what does it mean?
The effects of 971 metric tonnes (2.14 million pounds) of CO2e are equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions produced by:
- 204 passenger vehicles - or
- 348 tons of waste sent to the landfill - or
- 88.6 homes' energy use for one year - or
- 109,261 gallons of gasoline consumed
"We believe that as conveners putting on large annual events to bring our diverse community together, it's important to make sustainability a part of our planning process and culture, especially as many of NTEN's members are environmental organizations," explains Eileigh Doineau, Development Manager for NTEN. "When thousands of people come to our events, the food, travel, and hotel room turnover generates an immense amount of carbon emissions. It's really important to us to show our community that we're doing our part to mitigate those effects."
With Intacct's event emissions offset donation, Carbonfund.org purchased and retired third-party validated carbon offsets on the behalf of NTEN. The CO2 emitted from 15NTC through attendee and staff travel, hotel nights, and meals was neutralized through the purchase of carbon credits that support forestry preservation and replanting projects in Texas and other parts of the Southern United States.
Carbonfund.org thanks both NTEN and Intacct for making 15NTC a Carbonfree® Event and for setting an example for other environmentally responsible conference and event organizers.
Celebrate Earth Day 2015 through Brazil Adopt an Acre Program!Written by Linda
Earth Day 2015 is here!
Celebrate with Carbonfund.org by supporting our latest forest preservation and biodiversity conservation project, the Envira Amazonia Project. Located in the far-western state of Acre, Brazil, the Envira Amazonia Project will conserve almost 500,000 acres (200,000 hectares) of fragile rainforest, protect thousands of plant and animal species, including many that are threatened and endangered, and provide forest conservation education, jobs and training, economic benefits, and health and education enhancements for the local people living on the land.
The Envira Amazonia Project is one of the world's largest REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in developing countries) projects, and the project now is slated to be among only a handful of projects to earn triple Gold certification from the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards (CCBS) for exceptional community, exceptional biodiversity, and exceptional climate change adaptation benefits.
In addition, the Envira Amazonia Project will mitigate the release of more than 12.5 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, produce the highest quality, third-party validated carbon credits, and ensure that these lands will not be converted to cattle ranches or suffer the ravages of deforestation.
To celebrate Earth Day 2015, we're offering an Adopt and Acre program in Envira Amazonia. Simply make donations in $50 increments for each acre, with a 10-acre minimum, using our "quick donation" field and you'll receive 5 metric tonnes of carbon credits per acre along with contribution to the biodiversity monitoring program, community education and jobs, and the long-term plans to build schools and health clinics.
We're also continuing to offer our Plant-a-Tree Dine-for-Free program for Earth Day celebration donations, if you prefer this option.
Please join us in celebrating spring, Earth Day 2015 and the introduction of our Envira Amazonia Project to our expanding forest preservation work in Brazil.
First Airline to Allow Flyers to Offset Carbon Emissions In-Flight To Match Donations Made Onboard * to Environmental Causes
Teammate Volunteers Across U.S. Participate in Restoration Projects
San Francisco – April 22, 2015 – Virgin America, the only California-based airline and the first domestic carrier to offer flyers the ability to offset the environmental impact of their flights while at 35,000 feet, will match all onboard donations made by guests today through April 30, 2015, via the airline's "Make a Difference" platform* on its seatback entertainment system. For every traveler who offsets the carbon footprint of their flight via the airline's Red seatback entertainment platform, Virgin America will make a matching donation to both the nation's leading nonprofit carbon offset provider: Carbonfund.org Foundation and the airline's nonprofit environmental science education provider: NatureBridge. Since 2008, Virgin America flyers have offset over 15 million pounds of carbon emission through the airline's simple onboard offset option housed on its touch-screen seatback entertainment platform. The airline is also teaming up with NatureBridge to support restoration projects focused on shoreline clean-up and preservation projects at sites like Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands. Across the country, Virgin America teammates in other cities also are participating in local environmental clean-up events in support of Earth Day throughout April.
"As both a Virgin-branded company and the country's only California-based airline, it's in our DNA to make environmentally sustainable practices a priority," said Frances Fiorillo, Senior Vice President of People and InFlight at Virgin America. "California is known the world over for its spectacular natural beauty and for being the birthplace of the environmental movement, so it is only fitting that we do our part and provide opportunities to our teammates and flyers to help protect our state's most beautiful and scenic natural resources."
"Our partnership with Virgin America means support for important and innovative projects in the fight against global warming," said Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "We value our long-standing partnership with Virgin America, an airline that has been committed to sustainability practices since day one. Providing travelers a way to get involved in the sustainability effort, by offsetting their flight emissions fits well with our goal of making it easy and affordable to offset one's carbon footprint and support emissions reductions."
Launched in 2007 and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Virgin America has built sustainable practices into its operations from day one. The airline operates one of the youngest fleets in the U.S. and with investment in new aircraft and engines, the latest navigational systems, and consistent use of best practices on the ground and in the air, its fleet is up to 20% more fuel efficient than the U.S. industry average. The airline's home base at San Francisco International Airport's Terminal 2 (T2) is LEED® Gold-certified. With additional investments from the airline, Virgin America's own office spaces within T2 achieved the highest possible LEED® Platinum-certification. Virgin America was also the first airline to offer guests the opportunity to offset their emissions while in-flight. The proceeds from the carbon offset program have supported independently verified offset projects within California including The Hilarides Dairy Project in Lindsay, California that helps to reduce heat-trapping methane emissions which in turn, lessens the impact of global climate change and each year reduces approximately 18,500 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. The project also encourages the development of new technologies, reduces local water pollution and also provides an alternative source of income for local farmers. Since 2010, the airline has also offset its annual carbon footprint for its Burlingame, Calif. based headquarters through Carbonfund.org.
Virgin America has also expanded its partnership with NatureBridge this year to include a $30,000 cash and in-kind donation as well as participation in restoration efforts for teammate volunteers in Los Angeles and San Francisco on Coastal Cleanup Day later this year. Virgin America teammates' efforts at Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands will help to preserve the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is known for its tide pools, wildflowers and unique rock formations. NatureBridge educators will lead the airline's teammates this weekend as they help to improve the coastline by removing non-native, invasive plant species along the beach.
"We are so pleased to continue and expand our partnership with Virgin America, an airline that has demonstrated its commitment to the environment and sustainability," said Jason Morris, NatureBridge Interim President and CEO. "Together, NatureBridge and Virgin America are addressing the urgent need to provide the next generation with a hands-on environmental science education. Partnerships like this are key to our ability to achieve our mission to foster environmental literacy for a more sustainable planet."
Virgin America's Earth Day efforts will once again stretch across the nation, with teammate participation in clean-up and restoration projects in each of the airline's destination cities. Virgin America teammates are supporting clean-up efforts in locations including Long Beach, the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C., Independence Park in Newark, Columbus Park in New York, Secret Woods Nature Center in Fort Lauderdale, Desert Bloom Park in Las Vegas, Collins Beach in Portland, Ocean Beach in San Diego and Des Moines Beach Park in Seattle. Volunteers include members of Virgin America's Green Team – a teammate-led group focused on finding innovative ways across the airline's operations to reduce the company's footprint.
Since its 2007 launch, Virgin America has made environmentally sustainable practices part of its training and operations:
- The carrier operates a fleet of 53 new Airbus A320-family aircraft that is up to 20 percent more CO2 efficient than the average U.S. fleet.
- The airline employs environmentally friendly practices, such as minimizing use of auxiliary power units, single-engine taxiing, electronic flight bags, idle reverse landings, utilizing advanced avionics to fly more efficiently and cost index flying – the practice of regulating speed to reduce fuel burn.
- In 2014, Virgin America became the first airline in North America certified to the Federal Aviation Administration to fly 0.1 Required Navigational Performance approaches, enhancing the efficiency of landings in reduced visibility and further minimizing fuel burn.
- Virgin America participates in LSG Sky Chefs' Zero Waste to Landfill (ZLF) program, which aims to divert available waste from landfills. 100 percent of kitchens serving Virgin America recycle materials, including three kitchens which provide biocomposting, with more to come.
- In 2013 the airline took deliverey of its first Airbus A320 family aircraft with sharklets, wingtip devices with the potential to help the airline realize to 4% additional fuel efficiency across the network. Future deliveries in 2015 and 2016 will also be equipped with the fuel-efficient sharklets.
- In 2011, the airline became the anchor tenant at San Francisco International Airport's beautiful and sustainable Terminal 2 (T2) – the first major LEED® Gold-certified airport terminal in the U.S. Virgin America made additional investments within its T2 spaces in 2012 to achieve the highest possible LEED® Platinum-certification. Both the Gold and Platinum levels are the first such certifications for a major commercial airport in the U.S.

Salsa Labs Renews Carbonfree® Operations for Fifth Consecutive YearWritten by Linda
Salsa Labs helps nonprofits ignite action and fuel change by growing and engaging a base of support through its all-in-one online engagement platform. But for their own annual business activities, Salsa has chosen to mitigate the impact of their fuel consumption by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon emissions reduction, clean air technology and forest preservation projects.
Since joining the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program in 2010, Salsa has neutralized almost a million pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the emissions created by driving a passenger car over a million miles.
"Carbonfund.org shares our core values of making the world a better place," comments Tammy Sproule, Director of Marketing at Salsa. "Their commitment to the environment and fighting climate change is inspiring and we look forward to this partnership."
With Salsa, organizations can easily organize their supporters and chapters, fundraise, advocate, communicate through email and social media, host events and measure results. The company currently empowers more than 3,000 organizations and their more than 92 million donors, members, activists and fans.
Earlier this year, Salsa announced the release of its newest software, Solis. Designed to help growing nonprofit organizations – including many environmental organizations -- take full advantage of online communications, outreach and fundraising, Solis guides its users step-by-step through developing email, donation, social sharing and online CRM tools, all in one application.
"By integrating all the tools nonprofits need as well as proven best practice guides and tips within the application, we save organizations more than just time. We can lead even the smallest nonprofit to success," said Charles Parsons, Director of Product Development.
Carbonfund.org commends Salsa Labs for creating scalable solutions for nonprofit and advocacy groups of all sizes, and for maintaining an ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility for its own operations.

Carma Celebrates Fifth Anniversary Carbonfree®Written by Linda
New York-based Carbonfree® Business Partner Carma was founded in 2008 by a group of automotive and technology enthusiasts who wanted to make data from vehicles accessible on the internet. The first hardware Carma developed was for a European technology firm to transmit vehicle data over a GSM cell network to vehicle emissions monitoring software.
As part of their own sustainability initiatives, Carma joined the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program in 2011 in order to neutralize their own estimated annual operating emissions. Over the past five years, Carma has mitigated the impact of almost 795,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions through its support of Carbonfund.org's reforestation projects around the world. That's equivalent to planting and growing over 9000 tree seedlings and letting them grow for ten years.
Environmental responsibility and information regarding climate impact has always been an important part of Carma's business philosophy and its products and systems development. In 2013, Carma launched CarmaLink.com, a cloud vehicle monitoring solution for small businesses which needed real-time vehicle management with a simple interface.
Early adopters to this new technology include the Boston Duck Tours, which uses the automatic vehicle location (AVL) to track the location of tour groups, monitor engine speed and safety information. Other customers include the Town of Bethlehem Highway Department (Delmar, NY), which uses the efficiency reporting to cut down on engine idle time and stay on top of engine trouble codes for their trucks.
Carma's parts and manufacturing processes are sourced locally whenever possible, which allows Carma to decrease the carbon footprint from transportation of goods. They also use a low carbon, up-cycled plastic resin in their electronics, made from old water bottles, which reduces the total energy requirements for production.
"...the iQ resin manufacturing process is more energy efficient from cradle-to-gate, consuming 55-75% less fossil fuel than other engineering thermoplastics…"
Lastly, Carma leases rather than sells electronics to customers, allowing the devices to be reused and re-leased rather than thrown away at the end of a contract.
The philosophy behind CarmaLink is to make fleets more efficient, saving money and fuel by:
- implementing an idle reduction program to limit the amount of time a driver can idle the engine before triggering an alert to their manager, and
- by implementing a safety policy that includes a top speed limit for all vehicles, saving even more fuel. If a driver exceeds the set limit, the hardware records the time/location and speed of the vehicle for a report.
Carma reminds its customers - as does Carbonfund.org - that keeping a vehicle well maintained is important to ensure the best fuel economy which means heeding engine warning lights and fixing engine problems that can lead to inefficient combustion and lower fuel consumption percentage. CarmaLink also monitors for low tire pressure, as keeping tires properly inflated can increase fuel economy up to 3%.
Carbonfund.org applauds Carma's efforts to help businesses of all sizes to monitor the efficiency and reduce the climate impact of their fleet, while maintaining its own carbon neutral operations through the Carbonfree® Business Partnership.

Kivuto Solutions Marks Fourth Year as a Carbonfree® BusinessWritten by Linda
Kivuto Solutions Inc., global leader in complex digital distribution, is announcing its continued partnership with the Carbonfund.org Foundation for the fourth year in a row. The partnership signifies Kivuto's commitment to reducing its impact on the environment through both its green distribution solutions and dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while offsetting the rest.
Kivuto has chosen to support Reforestation and Forest Preservation projects, which fight climate change by sequestering CO2 emissions from the atmosphere in trees and soil and improve local environmental quality.
For over 15 years, Kivuto has provided a green alternative for product distribution by eliminating the need to create and deliver boxed offers; providing an electronic distribution model that allows for effective and efficient delivery online. Studies have proven that using digital distribution solutions instead of traditional distribution methods can reduce carbon emissions by as much as 83 percent for a single product. Kivuto estimates that the approximately 30 million digital downloads Kivuto enabled for its customers over the past year reduced carbon emissions by approximately 42,000 metric tons.
This commitment goes beyond Kivuto's green business model and carbon offsetting initiatives. Kivuto's employees continue to promote green alternatives on a daily basis and implementing company-wide initiatives for a more environmentally friendly workplace. Initiatives include recycling programs, campaigns to clean local communities, reducing waste at company lunches through reusable dishes and more.
Kivuto is looking forward to continuing its efforts to deliver green solutions, offset carbon emissions, take on new initiatives and become part of a greener community.

Kivuto Solutions Marks Fourth Year as a Carbonfree® Business
OTTAWA, Ontario — April 14, 2015 — Kivuto Solutions Inc., the global leader in complex digital distribution, is announcing its continued partnership with the Carbonfund.org Foundation for the fourth year in a row. The partnership signifies Kivuto's commitment to reducing its impact on the environment through both its green distribution solutions and dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while offsetting the rest.
The Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® Partner Program supports third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects in the U.S. and abroad to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Kivuto has chosen to support Reforestation and Forest Preservation projects, which fight climate change by sequestering CO2 emissions from the atmosphere in trees and soil and improve local environmental quality.
"Carbonfund.org commends Kivuto Solutions for their continued leadership in managing their environmental impact, looking for ways to reduce and conserve energy consumption, then neutralizing their remaining annual operating emissions through support of our forest preservation programs," says Eric Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org. "Their long-term commitment to environmental responsibility places Kivuto Solutions at the forefront of its industry for operational sustainability. We're proud to partner with them in these efforts."
For over 15 years, Kivuto has provided a green alternative for product distribution by eliminating the need to create and deliver boxed offers and offering an electronic distribution model that allows for effective and efficient delivery online. Studies have proven that using digital distribution solutions instead of traditional distribution methods can reduce carbon emissions by as much as 83 percent for a single product. And estimates show that the approx. 30 million digital downloads Kivuto enabled for its customers over the past year reduced carbon emissions by approximately 42,000 metric tons. This is a significant savings that Kivuto is truly proud of.
This commitment goes beyond Kivuto's green business model and carbon offsetting initiatives; Kivuto's employees continue to promote green alternatives on a daily basis and implementing company-wide initiatives for a more environmentally friendly workplace. Initiatives include recycling programs, campaigns to clean local communities, reducing waste at company lunches through reusable dishes and more.
For students growing up in the digital age, life, work and school, is interconnected. Learning inside and outside the classroom is connected through the use of tablets, smart phones and other mobile devices ensuring easy access to essential learning resources anywhere, and at any time.
Kivuto is looking forward to continuing its efforts to deliver green solutions, offset carbon emissions, take on new initiatives and become part of a greener community.

Navin Ramankutty
Department of Geography, Faculty of Science
What are some of the strategies that you use in your courses to engage students?
In large classes, I try not to just present facts but to also ask questions and have the students discuss them with each other to arrive at the answer. In these classes, I'm trying to move more towards problem solving. Sometimes, I give a handout with a problem that the students work on, and I walk around and talk to them individually. It takes a lot more time, but at the end, I feel they learn more that way.
I've also realized that it's better to take a few concepts and teach them really well rather than to pile on a whole lot of information. So, for each lecture, I will decide on one to three concepts that I want to get across. I am also trying to engage more with the students by trying to get rid of the hierarchy in the classroom. For example, if students are having a hard time grappling with a difficult concept, I tell them, "Hey, when I first encountered this concept, it was hard for me too. And in fact, it continues to be hard for me."
How do you evaluate your students' learning? What kind of assessment strategies do you use?
In the smaller classes, students mostly work on lab reports, assignments, small group or term projects, class presentations, and project term papers. The second or third year students do assignments based on a certain problem that we've talked about. They'll work on building a model, or they'll get a data set to analyze and do some manipulation of the data. Then they write about how their results can be placed in a larger context. In the large class, I still give exams. I use short essay questions since they allow you to test more concepts than just having multiple-choice questions. I try to develop questions that gauge learning that go beyond just memorizing things.
What is the most important thing students in your discipline learn when taking a course with you? How about students from outside your discipline?
Most of the students in the large class are from outside the discipline. I love teaching this class because it is an opportunity to get these students interested and inspire them to think about global environmental challenges, which is important because they are going to be the ones solving these problems in the next decade or two. I can play a role by inspiring them to think about these problems and telling them that they can work within their own disciplines to address these issues in very important ways.
Students from the discipline of geography or environment are here precisely because they are concerned about the issues. The most unique thing that I can offer them is the opportunity to look at these issues from a global perspective and get them to think about problems on a much larger scale than they are used to.
How do you help your students understand what research and/or scholarship is in your discipline (including findings, methodologies, etc.)?
I talk to students about the value of science. For example, I will ask them, "Why do most scientists believe that climate change is happening?" I present them with a selection of different kinds of observational evidence, all of which are consistent with the theory. Then we talk about the theory of climate change. Finally, we look at models. Then I take evidence from the latest literature on how scientists have used models to tie theories and observations together.
When I present all of this material, I always return to discuss the "scientific method" and how that's important. For example, one of the things I always talk about is how, while using a model, you have to do experiments with control cases and compare the differences between experiment and control as you would with any scientific study. The final thing I try to do is to place scientific findings in context, to ask what conclusions can be drawn from everything we know. So for example, we discuss how we can compare climate modelling to other kinds of models, like economic models, and consider how we invest in the stock market in spite of large uncertainties with models of the world economy.
What are your recommendations to new faculty members to help them develop in their teaching role?
Try to teach something that you're passionate about. If you look at the comments on student evaluations, they often remark that the professor was very passionate about the subject. It inspires them somehow. Also, don't waste time in the classroom talking about facts that students can get from a textbook. What is unique about teaching is that YOU are in the classroom. So, think about what you as a person can contribute, something that students can't get from the Internet or from a textbook.
Don't try to get everything perfect in the first year. Just do a few simple things in the beginning and then innovate year after year as you go along. I think that evolution is important. It is better to teach a few concepts really well than to try to cover a huge amount of material. The biggest challenge that I faced when I started was time management. One of the things I learned is to block times off for important things. So have a chunk of time reserved for research and a chunk of time for teaching prep, rather than one hour here and one hour there.
What advice do you have for undergraduate students about how to get the most out of your courses?
I think my main advice is to attend class and pay attention. You're paying tuition, you're sitting in a class, and you have someone who's teaching, so why not take advantage of that time? A lot of people come to class and do something else, and it's distracting to other students and to the teacher. If students would rather be doing something else in class, I would prefer that they not attend.
Also, make use of office hours. Most professors are flattered when a student comes and asks questions. They're actually really happy about it. Lastly, try not to prejudge a course. Even if the professor is new, give the professor a chance to show what he or she has to offer and make your judgement later.
Why do you teach?
It can be very rewarding because you feel like you're making a difference at some grander level. With research, I sometimes wonder whether my best contributions are behind me, but my best teaching days may still be ahead of me, which is actually very inspiring. I draw energy from other people and in a classroom, I find myself more intellectually active. It has happened that I hit upon a new kind of research idea while teaching. Also, it gives me the opportunity to influence the next generation of scholars. So in some ways, I'm not just teaching, I'm also influencing future research.

Less than two months ago, Rodney King was giving interviews for the 20th anniversary of the 1992 LA riots. And yet, on early Sunday morning, King, age 47, was found dead at the bottom of his pool at his modest tract house in Rialto, 55 miles east of Los Angeles, Patch reports.
Police are investigating the death as a drowning, and a toxicology test will be conducted to determine if King was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of his death.
King's fiancée told friends that Rodney had been drinking all day Saturday and smoking marijuana in the hours leading up to his death, TMZ reports. The fiancé, Cynthia Kelley, said that she awoke to King screaming in the backyard at about 5 a.m. She found him naked, banging on glass and, when she went to get her phone, she heard a big splash.
Police confiscated marijuana plants from his house Monday as evidence, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The trauma of being beaten nearly to death and then having that beating cause South Los Angeles to riot for days took a long-term toll on Mr. King. He struggled with drugs and alcohol, was arrested several times and appeared last year on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab."
In his recently-published memoir, "The Riot Within: My Journey from Rebellion to Redemption," he wrote that the still drank and used drugs occasionally but that, with Cynthia Kelley, who had been a juror in a civil suit he brought against the City of LA, he was on his way to recovery, the New York Times reports.
The initial acquittal of officers involved in the beating of King led to LA riots which ended with 53 deaths, 3,600 fires, 10,000 destroyed businesses and an estimated $1-billion-plus worth of damage.
Journalists and public citizens risked their lives to document the violence and destruction in the streets and twenty years later, the videos are still as powerful as ever. Watch the Rodney King riot videos below but please be warned: the content is graphic and might not be suitable for sensitive viewers.
This video shows sheer mayhem in the streets -- and not one policeman or police car is to be found. Bottles and bricks are thrown at cars, windows are smashed with crowbars, and individuals, including a man who appears to be Asian, are mugged from within their cars.
News coverage of the infamous video of three police officers, who were with 12 other officers, beating Rodney King. LAPD Chief Daryl Gates says that the officers struck King with batons 53 to 56 times. While many said this was an example of an ongoing problem of police brutality, Chief Gates called the LAPD a model department.
On April 29, 1992, the jury acquitted all four officers of assault and acquitted three of the four of using excessive force. Some said the fact that the jury was made up on ten whites, one Latino and one Asian gave an unfair advantage to the white defendants. "Everyone says, 'The video tape! The video tape!' These officers have a job to do. And in doing that job, they have to be given a certain amount of... reasonable force," one juror told ABC. "They didn't know what they had to take. A man that's over 230 pounds, and you put him on the ground, and four officers go in to put hand cuffs on him. And he throws those officers off?" Anther juror said about the violent reaction to the verdict, "I can't help but feel somewhat responsible." And yet, he said, if he had to do it again, he would vote the same way.
A severely injured truck driver, Larry, describes being pulled out of his truck and being beaten up. The video also includes interviews with angry reactors near USC, a business owner, rioters and looters, including kids. Looters can be seen inside stores taking what they please, while police officers stand by and watch.
Scenes of rioting in the streets are depicted, including individuals being pulled out of their cars and beaten in the streets; the police attempting to control rioters; large retail stores set on fire by fire bombs; and looters ignored as the police focus on protecting firefighters trying to put out fires.
The National Guard arrives to attempt to squelch rioting, and a curfew is put on the city. "It's really hard for us. We're just outnumbered," a police man said. Another officer described the department's strategy in the area as patrolling but not responding to calls. An Asian female business owner whose store was looted told a reporter, "I'm mad at who? No one. I don't know who's for."
"You're on your own here," one cop told this videographer. Another man said, "What's goin' on is.. They're doing it in the wrong area. The thing that they're doing it's the right thing, but they need to go to Beverly Hills. We can't be tearin' up our own stuff." After a gun goes off next to a woman and a young child, a man comments, "We have to live here, OK?"
This is a clip of the first time Rodney King spoke to the media after the riots began. The short speech can be seen in its entirety at 0:53 of this video. In it, he appeals for peace in the streets. Here's the transcript of the speech: I just want to say, you know, can we, can we all get along? Can we, can we get along? Can we stop making it horrible for the older people and the kids? And... I mean we've got enough smog in Los Angeles let alone to deal with setting these fires and things. It's just not right. It's not right. And it's not going to change anything. We'll get our justice. They've won the battle, but they haven't won the war. We'll get our day in court and that's all we want. And, just, uh, I love -- I'm neutral, I love every -- I love people of color. I'm not like they're making me out to be. We've got to quit. We've got to quit. Afterall, I mean, I could understand the first, the first upset for the first two hours after the verdict, but to go on, to keep going on like this and to see the security guard shot on the ground. It's just not right. It's just not right. Because those people will never go home to their families again. And uh, I mean please, we can, we can get along here. We all can get along. We just gotta, we gotta. I mean, we're all stuck here for a while. Let's, you know, let's try to work it out. Let's try to beat it, you know. Let's try and work it out.
A man who risked his life to save another who was being beaten in his own car is interviewed.
A woman expresses her lost faith in the justice system, saying that if the police "beat up on" her brothers or only son, she's not going to take them to court. She's going to "put a hit out on them." An older, wheelchair-bound man says that it's a shame that this is how it has to be done but that a message needs to be sent to the world.

Young scientists have fun, tackle problems during robotics summer camp
September 6, 2011
By Karl Weisel, USAG Wiesbaden

WIESBADEN, Germany, Sept. 6, 2011 -- A sign in the second floor hallway of Wiesbaden High School served as a tipoff that big works were in progress.
With summer vacation nearing its conclusion, 40 young scientists were hard at work just down the hall from the "Warrior-Technology-Strasse" sign, putting their math, computer and engineering skills to the test. The youths, in grades seventh to ninth (with a few younger students thrown in for good measure), were enjoying a special Robotics Summer Camp, hosted by Frank Pendzich, Wiesbaden High School Engineering Technology and Professional Technical Studies instructor and RoboWarrior team adviser.
"We talked about doing this for a number of years," said Pendzich, explaining that the robotics workshop was aimed at "giving a broader range of students an opportunity to learn more about science, technology, engineering and math."
Pendzich's classroom was abuzz with groups of individuals working closely together to solve various challenges as they prepared various-sized robots which would soon be put to the test during competitions.
"It's really fun," said Josh Merchat, who started ninth-grade this school year. "I've been interested (in robotics), but never had the resources."
"I like robots," said Michael Ross. "They're fun to build."
For Karsten Hold the appeal of the summer camp was the opportunity to build and program.
"It's really quite remarkable," said Pendzich, about the interest and efforts of the camp participants. "These kids don't even know they're learning geometry and other skills."
Pendzich said the summer camp was modeled after other successful FIRST, which stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, programs, the sponsor of annual nationwide robotics competitions in the United States and around the world. Students started off the four-day session doing team-building and problem-solving activities.
"Like everything, you just can't teach engineering directly, you have to put it in context," he said, explaining that before tackling the challenges of creating machines to perform activities and overcome obstacles, the students were first presented with a human version of the game. "They got to see firsthand how a human would solve the problem."
The veteran adviser of several successful robotics teams which competed at past Las Vegas FIRST Robotics Competitions said Department of Defense Education Activity officials have recognized how important it is for students to expand their knowledge and skills in the science, technology and engineering fields. "I think our school system has seen the value of programs like this which encourage learning."
Pendzich added that the RoboWarrior team has been invited to a competition in Israel as well as the annual event in Las Vegas this coming spring.
"The world needs more people who know how to problem solve -- people with different ideas," said Casey Mann, one of the volunteer camp counselors. "As future engineers, we have to have the mindset that there's more than one solution.
Mann, who is a high school junior this year and a three-year veteran of the RoboWarriors, said she enjoyed the chance to mentor younger students. "It's really interesting because some kids do things you never thought about doing."
She also highly recommended the RoboWarrior experience -- working on building robots to compete at the annual competition in Las Vegas. "The competition is very exciting. Even when your own robot isn't winning, you feel love for the other robots -- you want them to do well either way. And the bonding -- you meet so many different people -- everyone loves making friends.
"Teachers should try to put engineering, science, technology and math into their programs," she added. "Without people who like science and math, we wouldn't have the world we do today."
"We have a number of parent and teacher volunteers," Pendzich said about the summer camp. "It's a great experience having that much support from the community."
For more information about this year's RoboWarrior project, or to get involved, contact Frank Pendzich at the high school.

With Harden gone, who's next?
David Murphy, Daily News Staff WriterI think everyone was a little surprised by the deal that went down yesterday, and I'm pretty sure the Phillies were too.

ROWAN COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - A Rowan County woman faces serious charges after sheriff deputies say she was driving high with four young children in her car.
Deputies arrested 24-year-old Mary Lloyd Tuesday night after she was involved in a hit-and-run outside the Morehead Walmart.
According to the arrest citation, Lloyd failed three field sobriety tests and admitted to snorting a xanax earlier that day. The report also says she still had pill residue in one of her nostrils.
Deputes tell us four kids were in her car, ages three, five, six and seven and all of them were unrestrained.
A witness told deputies Lloyd almost struck a guard rail and almost struck another vehicle after the hit-and-run.
Lloyd is charged with four counts of wanton endangerment, DUI and failure to use child restraint.

I have got a Singer CP17-C made in Brazil at a garage sale but I need a manual in order to set the stich width, pattern settings and other settings. I looked on the Singer web site and they had a CP17 listed so II checked it out, but it's not anything like the configuration of mine. If anyone has a manual for the one I have would it be possible to get a copy from you. I sure would appreciate it, I guess I bought a real can of worms by buying a machine with no manual.
picture of the machine
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
You could go over to the singer website and download and use the free manual for even a much newer Singer CG590 machine for it. That might be a bit more like yours than maybe the other manual you were looking at.
Also a whole bunch of older singer machines too, but I can't remember exact #'s for them.
I have a picture of it on my desktop but can't figure out how to add it to a post - help me?
The Singer CG590 is an industrial machine, but so far the closest thing to my machine I've found so far. Thank You
sorry, I already checked that put, but it's just not the same machine as mine.
Sorry,I don't know how to upload a picture from my PC on PR either.I know how to and can do it on other forums,not on PR.I see only the image button to enter a picture from a website.It might work if you have an online picture hosting site like Flickr,or other free picture hosting site.
Can you find a picture of your Singer model online ? Then you can post it.The Singer picture I found online looks the same as in the free manual I posted. -- Edited on 11/2/13 3:37 AM --
Singer Manual for CP17
I tried putting in the link using the handy icon, but just in case....here is the URL. You may need to cut and paste into your browser window.
I got one of these free today when I purchased a used Horn cabinet. There are only 2 feet, and nothing to hold the thread spool in place.
Interestingly enough, it appears that Sears has parts for these! However, I'll first check with the local Singer dealer for the basics. What are the basics? Here is my own list:
zipper foot
narrow hem foot
straight stitch foot
BTW, this is a straight, not slanted machine. This means virtually any straight (not slanted) foot will probably work on your machine.
This is actually my 3rd Singer, and previous experience has taught me:
Be VERY picky about bobbins. Get the right kind for your machine.
Singer needles do work a little better, but Scmetz will work too. Don't bother with any cheap needles.
Get good thread. Seriously. It makes a world of difference.
If you don't know, take it into the shop first to be checked out.
Mark or write down the foot pressure, stitch length, and tension settings before you start messing around. It takes all three in balance, and if they are, you want to regain that happy spot.
I'll get this machine back into using condition (clean, necessary parts, working) and then regift it to a new sewer. I promised the sellers that would happen.
Does your sm look more like this one? At least the manual was printed in Brazil. The text is in English and Spanish...but strangely there are no spaces between the words.
Link: Singer CG500/550
You may not find the *exact* manual for your machine...but these models function very much the same. Maybe use what seems to be the same as your machine and the rest can be figured out.
Are you sure about your machine's model #?
Edited to add: Does your sm look like this one that was sold on ebay...there are lots of good pictures including a close up of the model # as CP-17C (9th pic down)...so does your sm look like that one? If so maybe these pics will help someone else help you find a manual.
Scroll down the page until you see the pictures.

By John Fonte
With a Foreword by John O'Sullivan
Encounter, $25.95, 449 pages
Black helicopters and "one-world government" have long been staples of conspiracy theories across the political spectrum, but, as the saying goes, even paranoids have real enemies. Hudson Institute senior fellow John Fonte has written a new book showing that there really are people in positions of authority who would dilute national sovereignty and transfer political power to unaccountable transnational organizations.
"Sovereignty or Submission: Will Americans Rule Themselves or Be Ruled by Others?" painstakingly demonstrates that people worried about global governance have real enemies: academics and political activists, government bureaucrats and nongovernmental organizations, the United Nations and the European Union. They needn't bear the mark of the beast.
In the foreword, the respected journalist John O'Sullivan describes Mr. Fonte as "one of the very few scholarly defenders of sovereigntist ideas." Indeed, the author does stand out as someone who can debate issues pertaining to democratic sovereignty without resorting to hyperbole or heavy breathing. But readers might be surprised to learn how bereft the academy is of people who believe in self-governing nation-states that use international organizations rather than being used by them.
Mr. Fonte begins by talking about early forms of liberalism that fought for individual rights rather than "ascribed status" that accrues based on class, station, race or socioeconomic status. This advance in our understanding of the proper relationship between citizens and their governments remained a central organizing principle of modern American liberals up through the civil rights movement.
Not long after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, some liberals began to look beyond securing equal opportunity for all individuals. Outcomes between groups remained unequal. Racial disparities in income, wealth, occupational advancement and other economic measures persisted after the racist Jim Crow system was dismantled and discrimination was outlawed.
This led some progressives to shift their focus from equal opportunity to equality of result. They decided an economic system that was built during a period of formal inequality and continued to produce unequal group outcomes must itself be racist and discriminatory.
Decentralized political authority seemed, if you will pardon the expression, unequal to the task of rectifying these problems. This suggested that power should be shifted from local to state governments and then from the states to the federal government. But what happens when the federal government is unwilling or unable to effect the necessary changes? And isn't the nationalism that undergirds the nation-state, even its democratic forms, itself essentially racist?
These ideas, described by Mr. Fonte as "transnational progressivism," have spread far outside the academy. We have gone beyond national governments arriving at agreements to mutually reduce trade barriers and set up a World Trade Organization, which some see as part of a "world constitution." We have the U.N. World Conference on Racism (and a list of other evils too lengthy to enumerate here) brainstorming about imposing reparations and other controversial policies on a recalcitrant U.S. population.
The historic peoples of Europe have been subsumed into a supranational union. Transnational organizations like the International Criminal Court seek to write the rules of war that bind nations. Others counsel countries like the United States to become like the United Nations in embryo, through open immigration without assimilation, official multiculturalism and multilingualism and plural citizenship.
All of these developments have their roots in legitimate injustices: world wars that ravaged Europe and killed millions in the 20th century; war crimes and dictatorships that have appealed to national sovereignty in brutalizing their own people; genuine discrimination against racial, ethnic and religious minorities even in Western democracies.
But the proposed solution of centralizing power in the hands of a small number of people suggests a failure to learn from this history. What sound reason exists to believe global governance will not repeat the crimes of national governments, with fewer checks and balances? Worse, transnational progressivism threatens to repeal the idea that governments derive their just powers through the consent of the governed.
Polls show most Europeans don't want the policies foisted upon them by the European Union. Most Americans don't want multilingualism or uninterrupted mass immigration. It is unclear whether a majority of Westerners desire to live under the Kyoto Protocol. But without national sovereignty, they don't get a choice in the matter.
How do you appeal a decision by the International Criminal Court? Who elects the World Trade Organization? Where do you go when supranational bureaucrats side against you? "The clash between global governance and democratic sovereignty," Mr. Fonte writes, "is a moral struggle over the first principles of government and politics." That's no conspiracy talking.

School History
The Foulks Ranch was a pioneer ranch of the Elk Grove area. Euphemia Foulks was a widow with small children when she journeyed the many miles across the plains to start a new life in California in 1852. The family members spent their first winter living in the covered wagon, and in the spring, they were finally able to build a small house. Thus began the Foulks legacy that would last for more than a hundred years. Members of the Foulks family were prominent in the development of Elk Grove and south Sacramento and still live in the area. Foulks Ranch School was a pioneer in school construction, existing as a portable school, called a "hopscotch school" until the permanent building was built in 1993.

Lee Bo Young, Ji Sung are Top TV Stars in 2013 Gallup Korea Poll

Park Hae-jin in talks to join Doctor Stranger
So remember that North-Korean-doc-in-South-Korea medical drama Doctor Stranger that's courting Lee Jong-seok to headline? It's still angling for a March broadcast on SBS (though with God's Gift – 14 Days premiering in February, it might not be till April). Lee Jong-seok is still considering, and now so is Park Hae-jin (You From Another Star). It's weird to see someone in a current drama lining up his next project the week after his new show premieres, but can more of Park Hae-jin really be a bad thing?
