November is here and it is Hope for Heroes month –this Friday, November 11th is Veterans’ Day. I am hopeful that many state chapters have planned a project to honor our Heroeson Veterans’ Day. Please be sure to take pictures and submit your chapter’s project to be shared on the ESA Website for Hope for Heroes. In Indiana, Deb Frazier, member of Beta Phi chapter in Rockville shared the following information. The Beta Phi members will be serving soup and sandwiches to the local Veterans at the Rockville Elks Club on Friday for lunch. In Las Vegas, NV, Deana Walters, Chair for Hope for Heroesand members are selling Raffle tickets all year on a USA Wreathhandmade by Deana with red, and blue bandanas. The proceeds from the Raffle will be split between Camp Hope and Sew Much Comfort. Attached are brochures regarding Camp Hopeand Sew Much Comfortalong with a picture of the USA Bandana Wreath. I encourage all state chapter Hope for Heroes Chairman to visit the ESA Headquarters Website under MAKE A DIFFERENCE NATIONAL SERVICE PROJECTS HOPE FOR HEROES for valuable information regarding the programs.

addition, a longitudinal study could be undertaken to track junior legal staff over time to see whether changes in working conditions associated with gaining seniority lead to enhanced mental health, or if attrition explains the lower psychological distress apparent at higher levels of the firm. High levels of burnout were associated with more psychological distress, while high work engagement was associated with less psychological distress. Although we cannot establish causality from this study, findings confirm many of the expected relationships. The study indicated that work-family conflict may be a particular source of burnout, which highlights the importance of work-life balance initiatives such as flexible work hours, childcare assistance and policies to assist with juggling competing work and personal demands. Work engagement was particularly associated with positive challenge and work-role fit. Building a sense of positive challenge at work could involve ensuring that work is meaningful for legal staff and uses their skills and knowledge by, for example, identifying staff development needs, matching opportunities to levels of competence and communicating how work tasks contribute to organisational objectives. Partners and senior lawyers can assist by providing opportunities and supporting the efforts of junior staff to use their strengths in wider team and firm activities. The extent to which respondents felt their role fitted with their personal values and provided a positive sense of identity was a key correlate of work engagement and burnout. Where possible, attention to selecting graduates whose values, aptitudes and skills are congruent with the work should help lawyers positively identify with the role. In addition, realistic job previews can provide an accurate representation of the role and culture of the firm and allow applicants to evaluate for themselves

Preventing Disease and Injury Many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, or diabetes, are preventable health conditions that are often linked to poor diet or lifestyle choices, which are environmental rather than genetic factors. These chronic diseases can compromise a person’s quality of life and can lead to disability or death. Some of the ways that individuals in the Horizon community can work towards preventing chronic disease include staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco use, and eating a health diet. Additionally, when looking at preventing disease, it is important to view and understand safe sex practices. The most effective way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies is to teach youth about abstinence and prevention. If youth do engage in sexual activity, they are at an increased risk and become more vulnerable when they fail to use condoms or another form of birth control consistently. Below are charts that show the percentage of students who are sexually active and those students who used a condom the
Call: COMPETITIVE LOW-CARBON ENERGY Budget: €361.8 million in 2014 and €374.73 million in 2015. The 2050 EU energy roadmap sets the target of reducing the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent of the 1990 levels by 2020, followed by a further reduction of 85-90 per cent by 2050. Equally, renewables should cover a growing share of energy consumption. This call has a special focus on new technologies, biofuels, renewable electricity and modernising the grid, while providing flexibility in the system with energy storage technologies. Topics of relevance to the Irish local and regional government sector are: Renewable electricity and heating/cooling Proposals should address one or more of a menu of specific technology challenges relating to photovoltaics, wind, ocean, solar, geothermal, renewable heating and cooling, bringing the proposed solutions to a higher level of technological readiness, aiming at their “demonstration”, accompanied, where appropriate, by supporting research activities and actions targeting market uptake. Deadline: 10 September This topic will be repeated as ‘’LCE-03-2015’’ with a 3 March 2015 deadline and somewhat different technology focuses. To ensure the level of growth needed to deliver the EU targets for renewable energy, and to create the appropriate business environment for EU industrial leadership in low-carbon energy technologies, a number of important market-uptake challenges are to be addressed by this topic, notably: Ensuring sustained public acceptance of renewable energy projects and renewable energy overall, while taking into account the implications of the substantial increase in renewable energy sources (RES) share in the final energy consumption; Ensuring speedy and user friendly permitting procedures; Implementing renewable energy policies, codes and legislations at EU, national, regional and local levels in a coordinated manner using best practice examples with significant replication potential; Capacity-building and contributing to the further development of renewable energy policy, legislation and regulation, and informing the debate on post-2020 horizons; Capacity-building and facilitating the deployment of improved business models and innovative financing schemes for mobilising investments in innovative and established renewable energy systems and services. Deadline: 7 May This topic will be repeated as ‘’LCE-04-2015’’ with a 3 March 2015 deadline Modernising the European electricity grid

Are there alternative approaches? The Productivity Commission has been asked to consider whether there are preferable alternatives to the present approach to equalising States’ fiscal capacities. The Commission’s proposed revised objective — equalisation to a reasonable standard — strongly suggests that alternatives to the present system are needed. The Commission’s consideration of alternative approaches covers two broad types. The first involves ‘in system’ changes to the way fiscal capacities are assessed, to achieve greater efficiency (policy neutrality), and transparency and accountability in the system. The second involves use of alternative equalisation benchmarks, which could more holistically address some of the problems identified and achieve broader efficiency and fairness benefits. Both approaches, and the specific options within them, variously trade off equity, efficiency, and transparency and accountability. The tradeoff between equity and efficiency is an inescapable consequence of HFE and of any move away from a ‘precise’ equalisation approach to a reasonable standard that injects greater fairness and efficiency into the system. To be ‘preferable’ to current arrangements, alternative approaches would need to address the concerns identified above and still provide States with the fiscal capacity to deliver a reasonable standard of services to their communities (in line with the Productivity Commission’s proposed objective for HFE). Better ‘in system’ ways to assess State fiscal capacities The Commission considered several ways of assessing States’ fiscal capacities. These included, discounts for individual revenue categories, targeted discounts for specific policy decisions, and the use of broad indicators and category level indicators to assess State revenue raising capacities and expenditure needs. At first pass, some of these options appear to offer prospective benefits, such as broad indicators and targeted discounts, but on balance are not workable or pose too great of a risk to fiscal equality (they may not achieve a ‘reasonable’ level of equalisation). Use of simpler and more policyneutral categorylevel indicators hold the most promise but can only go so far in addressing the problems with the HFE system. Discounts for mining or other revenue categories are hard to justify Discounting entire revenue categories, such as mining revenue or stamp duty, could be used to address policy nonneutrality concerns. This approach would guarantee that a State retains
Year 7 students in academic year 2015-16 will start their journey at Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School together. What about the students who like Vertical Tutoring? We will continue to adopt the qualities and positives of the Vertical Tutoring system. For example, older mentors can be assigned to tutor groups to support with reading schemes. We will keep the Houses, particularly as such a strong identity has been created. We will be able to utilise this for competitions, PSHE days and key events. Will my child get to choose their tutor group? Not necessarily. The Pastoral Team and Senior Leadership Team will give careful consideration to the placing of students in Horizontal Tutor groups, taking into account a wide variety of factors. In some cases, students can state a preference for being placed in a tutor group with a friend; however, it cannot be guaranteed that this request will be met. My child’s tutor knows them well and now that experience will be lost. What is the school doing to provide continuity? Effective transition to the new system is crucial to its success and we will ensure that there is a system to share information about every student. In some cases, where there are particularly strong tutor-student relationships, we will be able to strategically place students. There will be a thorough induction for all tutor groups and we are confident it will not take long for students to settle into their new form. Students, in many cases, will be with peers from teaching groups, which will ensure that they can interact and quickly build upon existing friendships. How will tutor time be organised? Tutor time will move to the start of the school day, 8.40am (warning bell) – 9.05am. Each year group will have a differentiated programme to meet their needs. Tutors will keep a close track of the progress of each student, helping to ensure that all students achieve their very best. Monitoring of attitudes to learning and other aspects of performance (including attendance) will take place during tutor time. Opportunities for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development will be created. Being a Church of England school, the delivering of worship activities will continue during tutor time.

Horseshoe Bend Wrap-Up by Roger Farish Thirty-five hardy members accumulated on Saturday, 12/12 for some collecting at a Duck Creek Formation site up on the Red River west of Lake Texoma the DPS hadn’t collected in many years. Rain was threatening, but didn’t happen until later that afternoon. Access to the river from the land owner’s property was via a path that had been cut down to the river from his bluff top years ago. This put everyone at the base of the first (southernmost) bluff of the three that are exposed on this bend of the river. Beyond the usual permission to access his property, though, he also hauled members across his property in his Kubota 4-wheeler to where they could access the second bluff more easily than traversing the first bluff. This way was even steeper than the first so even more exercise was gained by those folks. As can be seen in the photos, the river was much too high to allow collecting in the primary ammonite zone that us at the water level. The problem is that the Gainesville USGS gauging station was reading over 8’ which we were told would be acceptable, but didn’t turn out to be true. A return trip has been promised when the hydrograph reads 5’ or less. Nonetheless, quite a number of ammonites were found, mostly Mortoniceras equidistans instead of the more common Eophydiscus marcianus. Also, surprisingly, very few Holaster simplex echinoids were found, but many Macraster and a few Heteraster genera were given good homes. Ammonite Finds Derek Zornig Kathy Kasper Ming Lee We finished up about 1PM and headed to the famous McGehee’s Catfish Restaurant that overlooks the Red River. Following a great lunch we followed Mark McKinzie for some collecting at Moss Lake in the Goodland Formation where Linda Farish seems to have had the most notable find – a Loriolia echinoid, was the best id given.
