In the critical moments before the 2004 tsunami hit Thailand, a 10-year-old British girl, armed with the knowledge acquired from a recent geography class, recognized the impending disaster's warning signs on the beach. Her quick thinking and warning saved hundreds of lives.

 

This is the story of a girl named Tilly Smith who at the age of 10 was able to save the lives of hundreds of people at the Mai Khao Beach in Thailand.

 

On a peaceful morning in December 2004, the sunny shores of Mai Khao Beach, Thailand, were filled with tourists enjoying their vacation. Little did they know that this picturesque scene would soon turn into a life-threatening nightmare.

 

Amid the silence, a 10-year-old girl stands out, armed not with superpowers but with knowledge. Her name is Tilly Smith and her remarkable story is one of quick wit, courage, and the extraordinary impact a young mind can have in the face of disaster.

 

A glimpse of Tilly's youth

 

Tilly Smith's journey to becoming a hero began long before that fateful day. Born in England in 1994, she was a curious and inquisitive child with a penchant for learning about the world around her.

 

Her family nurtured her curiosity and she showed a strong interest in geography from an early age. Little did anyone know that this attention would soon save hundreds of lives.

 

Family vacation just got epic

 

In December 2004, Tilly's family vacationed in Thailand, lured by the promise of pristine beaches and clear blue waters.

National Training Workshop on

“Building National Capacities in National Plant Genetic Resources Knowledge Network” on 15 – 16 February 2015 , Cairo-Egypt

Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site

Beyond Intellectual Profit: Using Classroom Knowledge in the Workplace: Featuring the dynamic motivational speaker Kirk Nugent, this daylong symposium focuses on putting into practice what we know about human difference.

 

The symposium, organized by Assistant Professor of English Their Pickens, asks students to consider how their knowledge translates from the classroom to the workplace. During the day, students can talk to alumni, potential employers, staff, and other professionals about what it means to "use" a Bates education. We will primarily focus on the way students translate knowledge about race/ethnicity, gender, ability, socio-economic status, and citizenship.

 

Panel includes David Bartage, Financial Manager, Proctor and Gamble; Tracey Thibodeaux, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, TD Bank; and David McDonough, director, BCDC.

Governments could censor what is seen on the internet too much, preventing their citizens from obtaining valuable knowledge( image found:http://librarianinblack.net/librarianinblack/2010/12/censorship-is-censorship-especially-when-its-the-library-of-congress.html )

Day1

Day 23 brought on a different challenge, and despite being a little bit clichè, went for the number to day trick.

 

I like these shots that encompass Natural lead into focus. I also love the word light which is without a doubt the most important aspect of photography.

 

Shot with 1 SB900 straight on at ceiling, nothing fancy.
