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.

Connections is a series of collaborative installations in response to our connection to Mother Earth, our homes, spaces within ourselves, liminal spaces using only recycled and found materials. This project has been created using mainly materials from Artist Material Fund under the guidance of Kelly Greene (Indigenous Artist in Residence at the Visual Arts department). A vital concept of this project is to reflect on the fact that we are all part of this Earth and are extremely dependent on her since everything that surrounds us is provided by her. With the current overpopulation by humans on our planet, we've consumed and produced excesses. Thus, these installations aim to convey attentive perspectives by reusing some over-produced materials that would otherwise fill landfills.

I love these little regional jets. This is a Delta Connection (Comair) jet.
Would you believe, that I was very tempted to be a commercial pilot? Oh yea! And I would have been bloody good at it too!
A nice way to get a foot in the door is to work for these little regional jet airlines. You start getting experience and 'pay your dues'. Sadly, these poor co-pilots start off at around 16,000-20,000$... That's pathetic!!! However, their pay starts to skyrocket once they move up the ladder and become a pilot, especially if they move up to the larger jets. The starting of 20,000$ can easily go up to 150,000$, and that's more than your typical dentist makes. They are one of the highest paid professions in the US when they reach seniority.
Why do they make that much? Well, it's not easy, and few people are suited for that type of job (especially for those who find the radio in their car hard to use, no offense). The other reason though, is that they have horrible work hours which makes it very hard to have a family. At any given week they work 4 days out of the week, but they are GONE for those 4 days at different locations. That's so sad, and the main reason why I won't be a pilot, even though I would love to!
Fun in some ways, bad in others.
Dam that jet is hot!
I never came close to making a living at it, but I worked pretty hard at a part-time freelance gig for about 7-8 years. This is one of the first photo spreads I got published, a shot of an open house at a grocery store that turned out to have a lot more photographic potential than I would have guessed before I took the lens cap off.

The Murdoch Connection - the new bridge in Hull.
After more than 200,000 working hours Murdoch’s Connection is open to the public. A £22m project.
Named after Hull’s first female GP, Dr Mary Murdoch.
The bridge links the city centre to the marina, waterfront and fruit market. It crosses the dual carriageway of the A63.
After our whole group session broke for the evening, folks started to work at investigating the map, and began to add connections to help make sense of the various bits.

I thought my Arduino board was broken. (Look at the note above.) But it turns out that it's normal for that connection to not be there. How do I know? I looked at Flickr photos of other people's Arduino boards.

Bad Connection
(Popa Chubby)
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
I hear your voice but the sound is wrong
But there’s someone that I hear and I know that it’s not you
‘Cause you ain’t got no reason to be lying about the truth
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
I got wrong directions that’s why I didn’t call
For my own protection I’ll tell you what’s been going on
Let me say the things I know I shouldn’t say
The things that hurt so bad and make you turn away
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
There’s a bad connection that’s why I don’t even call
For my own protection when my back is to the wall
Let me say the things you know I shouldn’t say
The things that hurt so deep and make you turn away
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
