Des Moines, Iowa-based artist Gary Keenan moved nearer to completion on his bear carving in front of Wingo Hall at the University of Central Arkansas on Thursday. The large carving, done with a myriad of chainsaws, will be receiving a coat of stain to make its coloring closer to that of an actual bear. Keenan spent much of his day discussing his art to area children who came to the campus to see him work.

The Currituck Beach Light is a lighthouse located on the Outer Banks in Corolla, North Carolina. An example of Gothic Revival architecture, the Currituck Beach Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1973.
On December 1, 1875, the Currituck Beach Light was completed, located between Cape Henry Light and Bodie Island. Unlike its fellows, Currituck Beach Light was not painted, leaving its brick facade visible. In 1939, the lighthouse was automated following a merger of the United States Coast Guard with the Bureau of Lighthouses.
Since 1991 visitors have been allowed to climb the original 214 steps to the outdoor gallery. Access to the lens room is not permitted as the first order lens is not only the original lens, but it is still a functioning one. The light comes on every night and shines from 158 feet (48 m) at 20-second intervals to warn ships hugging the chain of barrier islands along the coast.
The U.S. Light-House Board in 1872 stated that ships, cargoes, and lives continued to be lost along the 40 miles (64 km) of dark coastline that lay beyond the reaches of existing lighthouses. Southbound ships sailing closer to shore to avoid the Gulf Stream were especially in danger. In response, construction began on the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in 1873 with completion two years later. The date at the top of the entrance to the lighthouse says "1873" because on every lighthouse, the date on the structure is the date that construction began.
The Currituck Beach Lighthouse is a first order lighthouse, meaning it has the largest of seven Fresnel lens sizes. The original source of light was a Funck's hydraulic float lamp, fueled with lard oil, and consisting of four concentric wicks. In approximately 1884, the lighthouse converted to a mineral oil (kerosene) lamp with five concentric wicks; the largest was 4 inches in diameter. By 1913, an incandescent oil vapor lamp was used, with kerosene vaporized and forced into the burner by use of a hand pump attached to the storage tank.
The Currituck Beach Lighthouse was the last major brick lighthouse built on the Outer Banks.

El Palacio del Congreso de la Nación Argentina (National Congress Building), located at the western end of Avida de Mayo, houses el Congreso de la Nación Argentina (Congress of the Argentine Nation). El Congreso de la Nación Argentina, the legislative branch of the Argentine national government, is bicameral, constituted by a 72-seat Senado (Senate) and a 257-seat Cámara de Diputados (Chamber of Deputies).
The Greco-Roman style neoclassical building was constructed between 1898 and 1906, but its aesthetic details were not completed until 1946. It was designed by Italian architect Vittorio Meano and completed by Argentine architect Julio Dormal. With its copper clad central dome rising 80 meters high, it was the tallest building in Argentina at the time of its completion. The quadriga atop the entrance is the work of sculptor Victor de Pol; local sculptor Lola Mora graced the interior halls and exterior alike with numerous allegorical bronzes. By 1974, the building proved to be too small and a modern annex, El Anexo "A" de la Cámara de Diputados de la Nación, was built next door.
Tuesday, 4 August 2015, saw the passing out parade of the latest group of Greater Manchester Police’s Volunteer Cadets. The ceremony took place at Swinton Civic Centre.
The Force’s Chief Constable, Sir Peter Fahy, reviewed the cadets and presented them with certificates to recognise the completion of their training.
In 2012, Sir Peter pledged to create a new Volunteer Police Cadet Scheme for young people in the region.
The scheme, developed by Sergeant Jane Butler and Youth Strategy Officer, PC Andrew Marsden, is aimed at 13- 17 year-olds and provides a programme of weekly Cadet nights filled with activity, information and – hopefully – some fun.
The aims of the scheme include:
•Promoting and encouraging a practical interest in policing among young people,
•Providing training which will encourage positive leadership within communities which will include volunteering opportunities,
•Encouraging a spirit of adventure and developing qualities of leadership and good citizenship. Cadets will be given the opportunity to obtain a Duke of Edinburgh Award, First Aid qualification etc.
Cadets units will be based in areas where there is currently little to occupy local youngsters.
Volunteers will have to apply, stating their reasons for wanting to be part of the scheme and will be encouraged to remain with the scheme for as long as they can. On reaching the end of their time as a cadet, they will be given with advice on careers and business, help with CVs and information about any opportunities to remain with the Force.
The first cadet scheme has been developed with the support of the Co-op Academy, Blackley.
Cadets are currently completing a "probationary" period and have so far experienced drill, physical exercise classes and advice on subjects such as the effective and safe use of social media.
Further items on the curriculum are lessons on the law, public order awareness, phonetics and radio use, problem solving … and more drill!
A uniform will be worn but only issued on completion of a successful probationary period.
The scheme's team leaders are also volunteers and include schools based officers, PCSOs, special constables and university students, all contributing their own time to run each cadet night.
To build number of successful schemes across the region we are looking for help. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer team leader and can demonstrate a commitment and desire to "change hearts and minds" can contact Sergeant Jane Butler at volunteerpolicecadets@gmp.police.uk.

LUC has worked with a large multi-disciplinary team to deliver a sustainable infrastructure and development masterplan to guide the long term transformation of Shawfield in Glasgow’s East End. LUC also led the design and implementation of an advanced phase of public realm and landscape works that now forms a framework for new development to be realised over a 20-25year horizon.
Prior to construction the site was heavily contaminated and consisted of large areas of vacant and derelict land together with dated business and industrial premises. The site was completely cleared and underwent significant ground remediation in advance of the public realm works to ensure the site is ‘development ready’.
LUC developed a green infrastructure strategy to inform the masterplan design with an emphasis on integrated surface water drainage and pedestrian connectivity to surrounding communities, transport nodes and the River Clyde corridor.
The Clyde riverbanks have been manipulated to provide new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and this now provides an extension to the strategically important Clyde Walkway.
An ecologically diverse mosaic of riparian woodland, grassland and wetland habitats has been created that will improve the biodiversity of the River Clyde corridor.
A new strategic pedestrian and cycling link has been created linking the new South Dalmarnock Smart Bridge with the centre of the masterplan site, improving connectivity in the area. In contrast with the more naturalistic riverside treatment this link is more formal in character with strong tree avenue planting, lighting and paving patterns.

About 60 people from various countries of the Americas participated in this 2-week summer intensive held by Danza Contemporanea de Cuba. I took classes mainly in Cuban modern technique, and a few in Afrocuban dance, modern barre technique, and methodology. I met dancers from Argentina, Belize, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the US, and of course Cuba. What a great experience, and what a beautiful technique-- a syncretism of classical Graham technique and Afrocuban folkloric dance. I am anxious to continue to dig deeper into this technique, though it's not quite the same without the live drummers, sweltering heat and surroundings of palm trees-- and instructions in a language I only rudimentarily understand.

Here’s the mighty fountain up and running. We went out late last night and bought a pump at Lowe’s. Unfortunately the fountain wasn’t winterized properly and has two major cracks. The company that manufactures these beauts actually sells repair epoxy so we ordered some to fix the big cracks. Also ordered a plug for the base as it leaks a bit too. It does have quite a bit of splatter going on so we may need to adjust the setting at some point. The splatter tends to soak the ground (it’s raining now) and not sure the plants will want to be soaked constantly. We also got a bunch of pink salvia (all on sale) and other plants to go around. Need more but it’s a great start. I’m excited to get stuff in the ground, but potential thunderstorms today, so that’ll wait. Hope you enjoy this quick video. Have a wonderful morning friends!

They loaded backwards, but that is okay. The right was the ink transfer of the design Josh drew. The middle is when the black outline and shading was done. The left is the completed piece.

Built between 1652-53, Taiyuin-byo was constructed a short time after the completion of the grand and ostentatious Tosho-gu. While Tosho-gu is the mausoleum of the first Tokugawa shogun, Ieyasu (1543-1616), Taiyuin houses the remains of the third shogun, Iemitsu (1604-1651). In comparison, Taiyuin-byo is far less grand. There are a few views as to why this is, but many believe he either was afraid of Ieyasu even after his death, or that he greatly admired him to the point that he didn't want to out-do him. In either case, it's definitely something to check out if going to Nikko.

1922 Built by Lithgows Ltd of Port Glasgow being launched in the middle of August for the North Coast Steam Navigation Co and named Wollongbar. She sailed fro Glasgow on the 4th November calling at Gibralta on the 13th November before sailing through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal reaching Sydney on the 24th December.
1923 She entered service in early January running between Sydney and Byron Bay. She had passenger accomadation for approx 200.
After a few years on the run it was found that she was only profitable during the summer months so she was laid up for the rest of the time.
1927 She was chartered to Huddart Parker Ltd after their vessel Riverina was wrecked. She was put on the Sydney to Hobart run.
After this she was chartered for a few years to Tasmanian Steamers in the winter months to replace their vessel Nairana for her overhauls. She ran between Melbourne and Launceston.
1939 The outbreak of W.W.11 the company thought it wold not have an effect on her as she had been used to being laid up for lengthy spells. This proved incorrect and she was engaged all year round carrying passengers and dairy products from the Northern areas to Sydney.
1943 Whilst on passage from Byron Bay to Sydney with a full cargo of dairy products and 37 passengers on the evening of 28th April she was hit by a torpedo from a Japanese submarine hitting her amidships on the port side.
The damage was devastating and she sank in aprox half a minute with only 5 survivors.
For months after the coast line was littered with boxes of butter and other produce from the sunken wreck.
After the War the North Coast Steam Navigation Company stopped their passenger service to Byron Bay.
