LuxyHair Dream Giveaway Entry
MY DREAMS AND ACTION PLANS: 1.Graduate with my BS in Business Management from Penn State University before I am 20. At the moment I have completed two years of the four year program at an online University in AB (www.athabascau.ca). However, I want to transfer to Penn State so that I can graduate with a degree with them. Because Penn State is almost 2x as expensive as Athabasca, I will have to wait until the last possible moment to transfer: This would be the end of my third year. Penn State has a few application deadlines and because I know I cannot make their June deadline, I decided I would try for the October 2012 deadline. In March I will have my first 2 years 100% done, so from March-October gives me another 8 months to do complete 10 courses . This means that I have to do 5 courses every 4 months (5 courses from March till June and 5 from July-October) I will have to make some sacrifices this summer and spent more time studying, but I think my dream is worth it. 2. See my company www.dynaread.com succeed My dad and I started a dyslexia intervention program for children aged 7+ who struggle with reading and my BIGGEST dream would be to see us be able to help thousands of children by helping them learn to read. If you do some research on dyslexia and the intervention programs that are out there for children with reading problems (that is really what dyslexia is: a cryptic word for a struggling reader) you will see how little help there is available and how costly <b>...</b>

The Alberta Government & The Oil Industry Lie About Tar Sands Pollution
when did the government, elected by the people and for the people, become merely a mouthpiece and a puppet for industry? In Alberta, nearly 1/3 of it's revenue comes from the oil & gas sector. we have what is known as a petrostate -- "an authoritarian society in which dissent is stifled and enterprises beyond the energy sector are de-emphasized or even discouraged". the people of this province no longer have representation through taxation. the government's main interest is representing the oil companies. The Alberta government and the oil companies like to tell the public that the pollution found in the Athabasca River downstream of the tar sands is naturally occurring...but industry's own data, that they release to Environment Canada, proves otherwise. What they reveal to Environment Canada in private and what they tell the public are two diametrically opposed statements. (the annotations in this video are mine) This is a clip from a longer lecture done in 2010 by University of Alberta Professor Dr. David Schindler, where he discusses the evidence that tar sands oil companies are significantly polluting the area. www.youtube.com More evidence for tar sands pollution by Treeline Environmental Research ecologist Dr. Kevin Timoney www.youtube.com
