The Utah State Office of Education Title VII Program in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Red Butte Garden, the Urban Indian Center and the Utah Natural History Museum hosted the second annual of the Earth Connections Camp, American Indian Nature Camp on June 18.
The camp’s goal is to reconnect urban American Indian youth with their natural world and cultural heritage, organizers said.
The 30 campers, divided into two groups, spent the day at Red Butte Garden learning about American Indian traditions, history, arts and craft, storytelling and nutrition.
American Indian educators and specialists from the various partners led each of the learning stations.
Juan Palma, BLM Utah state director, was the keynote speaker. He shared his story of growing up in a family of migrant workers and the difference education made in his life.
Other activities during the day-long camp included building solar toys and constructing dams with the assistance of Bureau of Reclamation staff.
“I was so impressed with the instructors, volunteers, and especially the campers,” said Jeanette Shackelford, BLM Utah State Youth Program Lead. “The kids were respectful and attentive, and I personally learned a lot from listening to the different sessions.”
Organizers hope to continue to collaborate and expand the day-camp to have more students attend.

This might become a whole new set, the creative juices are flowing! I was again next to this mastodont, you can see the speed we were going at from the landscape.
There are so many connections lol....
Thanx, M, (*_*)

Short of opening up a computer or another piece of electronics, I remembered that I had this unused card which would work perfectly fine as a macro subject. I tested several angles, capturing the various components of the circuit: capacitors, resistors, etc. I wasn’t happy with any of them though. This is when I flipped the card, revealing much simpler patterns. While I had to stack my close up lenses to get as near as possible to the circuit, I also had to crop the end result in post to get the composition I liked. Those connections are small.

A missed connection is an occurrence where two or more people are unable to exchange contact information. This could be the result of a chance glance on the subway or two passersby on the street.
When I first saw the Missed Connections section of the Craigslist website, where people post, in essence, want ads for people that have caught their eye, I was hooked. It's better than a novel- the whole story is summed up in 2-3 sentences and so much unspoken is conveyed.
For me, this conjures images of an urban landscape littered with unnecessarily cluttered telephone wires jumbled, disconnected, wrapped around poles, snaking overhead. In this piece I wanted to depict our movement away from an increasingly outmoded form of communication by depicting telephone wires crisscrossing and tangling with ends left unconnected.
More than 400 participants gathered at the Poliforum in León, Guanajuato for the 11th annual PMA Fresh Connections: Mexico conference and expo. With an impressive lineup of international speakers, covering hot topics, and a full exposition floor – a true unparalleled networking experience.

The 2024 Connections Leadership Conference was held 15-16 November at the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, MI. This was the first time since 2019 the event was hosted away from the Central Michigan University Campus.
Community members and leaders from the Kingston-Galloway/Orton Park neighborhood meet with their university counterparts at the second Community Connections Leadership Forum.
The forum was designed to foster collaborations between UTSC and Scarborough communities. It brought UTSC faculty, administrators and students together with community leaders to discuss ways of partnering on research and community development projects.
[A Recreational Sailboat Navagating the Canal] The Mule Connection is complete and the ship is ready to proceed into the 1 chamber – Pedro Miguel Lock that will allow the ship to proceed into the Culebra Cut, an artificial valley that cuts through the Continental Divide in Panama. The cut forms part of the Panama Canal, linking Gatun Lake, and thereby the Atlantic Ocean, to the Gulf of Panama and hence the Pacific Ocean. It is 7.8 miles (12.6 km) from the Pedro Miguel lock on the Pacific side to the Chagres River arm of Lake Gatun, with a water level 85 feet (26 m) above sea level / Panama Canal locks (Esclusas del Canal de Panamá) are a lock system that lifts a ship up the 85 feet to the main elevation of the Panama Canal and down again. The original canal had a total of six steps (three up, three down) for a ship's passage. The total length of the lock structures, including the approach walls, is over 1.9 miles. The locks were one of the greatest engineering works ever to be undertaken when they opened in 1914. No other concrete construction of comparable size was undertaken until the Hoover Dam, in the 1930s. There are two independent transit lanes, since each lock is built double. The size of the original locks limits the maximum size of ships that can traverse the canal; this size is known as Panamax. Construction on the Panama Canal expansion project, which included a third set of locks, began in September 2007, finished by May 2016 and began commercial operation on 26 June 2016. The new locks allow transit of larger, New Panamax ships, which have a greater cargo capacity than the previous locks were capable of handling / There are twelve locks in total. A two-step flight at Miraflores, and a single flight at Pedro Miguel, lift ships from the Pacific up to Gatun Lake; then a triple flight at Gatun lowers them to the Atlantic side. All three sets of locks are paired; that is, there are two parallel flights of locks at each of the three lock sites. This, in principle, allows ships to pass in opposite directions simultaneously; however, large ships cannot cross safely at speed in the Culebra Cut, so in practice ships pass in one direction for a time, then in the other, using both "lanes" of the locks in one direction at a time. Each lock chamber requires 26,700,000 US gal (101,000 m3) of water to fill it from the lowered to the raised position; the same amount of water must be drained from the chamber to lower it again. The water is moved by gravity and is controlled by huge valves in the culverts. Each cross culvert is independently controlled. A lock chamber can be filled in as little as eight minutes. There is significant turbulence in the lock chamber during this process.
