People loved our political float at the Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade on May 29, 2017.
The Bamboodu Theater stars Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump: she hits him on the head each time he tweets fake news.
We marched with a group of MVCAN community members and artists from Pataphysical Studios. Thousands of spectators cheered as we passed by, singing along the wonderful poem about liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses …”
The parade judges gave us the “Best Community Spirit Award". Audience reactions were overwhelmingly positive. KGO 7 News covered our float with a story that presented different viewpoints about our controversial art performance.
We built this float in my front yard with a wonderful team at the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), a local political group which I recently joined to resist the conservative takeover of our country. Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to get engaged in political action.
I’m very grateful to all our friends and neighbors helped us bring this project to life: Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Phyllis Florin, David Glad, Peter Graumann, Edward Janne, Suz Lipman, Charlene Lundgren, Jean Marie Murphy, Mark Petrakis and Martha Roush, to name but a few. Our friends from Pataphysical Studios included Howard Rheingold, Freddy Hahne, Stephanie Levene, Jean Bolte, Natalina Frederick, Dana Dworin and Geo Monley.
I’m glad that our message resonated with our community and helped promote MVCAN. Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

Community Garden Edibles Competition at the Supertree Grove, Gardens by the Bay during Singapore Garden Festival 2018.
I happened upon this tiny Brooklyn community garden while trying to get to a food co-op. Housed in a tiny lot between two brownstones, I found Farrah working in the garden, trying to weed it out. I wasn't really doing anything, so I offered to help. We spent a couple of hours hoeing the weeds, picking fruits and vegetables, listening to hip hop and talking about her thesis on rhetoric and the community. This was definitely one of my more fun/random/interesting travel activities.
In Bonnington Square Garden
The pleasure garden here was once a bombsite, then a derelict playground, before it was imaginatively re-designed by the Bonnington Square Garden Association, a group of local residents with backgrounds in film, art, design and horticulture.
Funded by grants and local sponsorship, the garden includes a 9-metre Industrial Revolution iron waterwheel, a huge Helping Hand sculpture and evocative, lush sub-tropical planting.
Further planting under the umbrella of the Paradise Project includes trees, groundcover planting, vines and endless street gardens. The pleasure garden is today regarded as one of the finest community gardens in London.

Years 9 and 10 students in Photography and Media this week have been busy working on their latest assignment; investigating how social justice applies to their generation.
At the start of the week students took part in a workshop run by the awesome BBC Devons Political reporter Jenny Kumah. Within the workshop students looked at writing questions, gathering news and interview techniques. Yesterday the students hosted four visitors from some wonderful local community organisations; Julie Paget from - Plymouth and Devon Racial Equality Council, Pete Davey from The 100 Homes Oral History Project , Maria from the - The Oasis Cafe / Plymouth food bank and Tim Todd - Previous Youth Services. manager, foster carer and community voice specialist. This questions and answers session saw small groups of students rotate around the visitors asking questions and investigating what the community groups do and the impact they are having in their local community. We would like to say a huge thank you to our visitors for sharing their time and expertise with us.
A key part of the social justice assignment will see students have the opportunity to either work on a printed publication for the Shine School Media Awards or to create a documentary as part of the PLURAL + competition. “The Shine School Media Awards is a national competition rewarding UK secondary schools who produce an outstanding newspaper, magazine, podcast or website” We have been successful at scouping national awards over the past two years. Last year we were the Winner of best design and layout so fingers crossed for this year.
PLURAL + is a youth-produced video festival which encourages young people to explore migration, diversity and social inclusion, and to share their creative vision with the world.
PLURAL + is a joint initiative between the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and the International Organization for Migration, with a network of over 50 partner organizations, who support the creative efforts of young people and distribute their videos worldwide.

Health clinic in City Heights, San Diego. I'd love to know what this great old brick building was originally.

In 1901, a once thriving traditional Chinese community in Pittsburgh established their own cemetery on the grounds of Homewood Cemetery. From a 1927 article in The Pittsburgh Press: “In the stone burner, paper money is burned. The departed Chinese must have money to pay in the world to come. “ At the altar, the large flat stone to the right of the pagoda, “three holes are filled with sticks of burnt joss and tallow drippings. About them occasionally can be detected tiny portions of egg shells and raw flesh, the hide intact. These are left from a graveside offering sometime later than burial.”
Further from the 1927 article: “…200 flat stones mark the temporary resting place of Celestials who await disintegration before the long journey to their native land, for the yellow men’s bones must travel across the continent, across the Pacific and often far inland before they can be united with their ancestors.” According to the article, in 1922 the bones of 35-40 made the journey and a similar shipment was expected to be made in 1928. Bodies were interred for 8-10 years, until sufficient decomposition would take place.
“But finally,” said the author, “the weary exile is over. The Chinese, alien and apart, finally commences his great pilgrimage to the homeland and to rest in the graves of revered ancestors.”
More than 100 people came out to a community paint day to complete the new mural that was added to the downtown Oberlin area this summer.
Project organizer Tanya Rosen-Jones '97 gathered design ideas from Oberlin high school students, and a community-wide vote was taken to determine the winning piece. The result is a 32-foot vibrant collage that highlights many aspects of Oberlin, including music, arts, culture, and sports. The mural is located behind the bookstore.

Michigan Engineering grad Frank Sedlar chats with Elly, 22, and Aang, 43, about using social medai and PetaJakarta.org as a system of early flood warnings at Kebon Pala.
Kebon Pala community in Kampung Melayu neighborhood of Jakarta lies on the banks of the Ciliwung River and is very prone to flooding. The process of Normalisasi” (turning the river into a concrete channel surrounded by walls) is threatening the eviction of houses nearest to the river here.
For the next week we are following a Michigan Engineering graduate who helps map flooding in Jakarta using social media based data. Follow our blog at umjakarta.tumblr.com/

One thing I noticed as I was over much of Europe -- the community seems to be well placed -- in a middle of the farm, and usually in the middle of it is a church(I presume catholic church) and on its side are its grave. The streets are plenty enough for the residents -- and there seems to be not much people.

Community Christmas helps more than 6,000 people in need every year.

The flag symbolises the islands' Scottish and Norwegian heritage. The colours red and yellow are from the Scottish and Norwegian Royal coats of arms. The blue is taken from the flag of Scotland and also represents the sea and the maritime heritage of the islands.
