Here's the intern who told us about the penguins during my last zoo visit. As you can tell from her face, it was a warm day!
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) âVegUâ Program Coordinator Sara Pellegrino talks about the pumpkin curry soup she is preparing at the USDA Farmers Market âVegU(cation)â tent, where people also learn how to how to pick, and store pumpkins, in Washington, D.C., on Friday October 21, 2016. USDA employees from the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and vendors volunteer as vegetable educators, or âVegUcatorsâ conducting free 10-minute fruit and vegetable classes. USDA AMS Sandardization Specialist David G. Horner talks about the displayed (edible) pumpkins, such as the large orange and flat Cinderella pumpkin, the orange fluted and flat Fairytale pumpkin, the four-lobed crowned orange and beige Monkeyâs Butt pumpkin, the deep orange and rough surfaced Warty Red Thing pumpkin, the small (mainly decorative) Munchkin pumpkin, the orange and the white Sugar pumpkins, the large green-grey flat Jarrahdale pumpkin, and the orange round Peanut pumpkin with portions of the surface that resemble the color and texture of a peanut. During this season of the outdoor USDA Farmers Markets, 26 recipes will be taught at the VegU tent. Their scheduled demonstration dates are the peak harvest time to look for these foods. The goal is to increase fruits and vegetables in meals and help people understand what is in season. Guests can receive a free recipe card, and can start shopping for ingredients at the market.

THIS WEEK VEGU IS ALL ABOUT PUMPKINS
Three diï¬erent species in the Curburita genus are known as pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo, C. maxima, C. moschata). Pumpkins are typically planted in early summer and harvested in fall. Pumpkins can be stored for several months after harvesting due to their thick outer skin. There are countless diï¬erent varieties of pumpkins grown in the United States ranging in size from 2 pounds to 100 pounds and in an array of colors including orange, yellow, green, and white. One of the most common pumpkin varieties used for cooking and baking is Sugar Pie (also known as pie pumpkins), which has thin skin and sweet ï¬esh making it ideal for eating.
HOW TO PICK
Look at size. Choose pumpkins that feel solid and heavy for their size. Check for blemishes. Pick pumpkins that are unblemished, have consistent color and have the stems attached.
Feel for freshness. Press on the bottom of the pumpkin. If it is ï¬exible or has several soft spots it may indicate that it is not as fresh.
HOW TO PREPARE
To cook a fresh pumpkin, ï¬rst wash and dry the whole pumpkin. Remove the stem and slice the pumpkin in half using a sharp knife. Clean out the inside, removing the seeds and ï¬brous strings. Place the halves on a cookie sheet or tray and bake at 350º F for about 30-45 minutes depending on the size. Once cooled, peel oï¬ the skin using a knife and chop the pumpkin into cubes, or purée the ï¬esh in a blender or food processor. Use cooked pumpkin purée or cubes in pies, cakes, baked goods, soups, and stews.
HOW TO STORE
Pumpkins require cool and dry conditions for best storage. Optimal temperature is between 50-55º F and humidity of 50-70%. If stored properly, certain varieties of pumpkin can last up to two months.
Tip: Store cooked, cubed or puréed pumpkin for up to one week in the refrigerator.
Advice about freezing. Freezing pumpkin is a great option. To freeze, ï¬rst roast pumpkin in the oven (as outlined on the other side of this handout) and place cooked cubes or puréed pumpkin into freezer bags. To freeze raw cubes, ï¬rst peel the pumpkin skin and remove seeds and ï¬brous strings. Chop pumpkin into 1-inch cubes and store loosely in freezer bags. Frozen pumpkin can be stored for 9 months to 1 year.
FUN FACTS
â¢Pumpkins originated in Central America and are botanically a fruit.
â¢At the ï¬rst Thanksgiving feast in 1621, the pilgrims did not serve pumpkin pie, rather, they served stewed pumpkin.
â¢Pumpkins are members of the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes squash, zucchini, watermelon, cucumbers and gourds.
â¢Over 50,000 acres of pumpkins were harvested in the United States in 2014, producing 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins.
â¢China and India are the worldâs top pumpkin producers; U.S. is ranked ï¬fth.
â¢Illinois is the top pumpkin producing state in the U.S. followed by California, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
â¢Pumpkin is an excellent source of beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A.
â¢99% of pumpkins grown in the U.S. are sold for decoration.
GET A VEGUCATION EVERY FRIDAY BETWEEN 11:30 AM AND 1:00 PM, MAY TO OCTOBER, IN THE VEGU TENT AT THE USDA FARMERS MARKET. SHORT 10 MINUTE CLASSES ARE FREE. THE MARKET IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF INDEPENDENCE AVENUE AND 12TH STREET, SW, IN WASHINGTON, DC 20250.

USAG Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — “After parents, it’s the educators, teachers, administrators and staff who have the biggest influence on our children,” U.S. Forces Korea Commander, Gen. James D. Thurman said, at the sixth annual Department of Defense Dependent Schools awards and recognition ceremony, April 6.
Thurman recounted how the three most influential people in his life were his father, his scout master, and his high school football coach.According to Thurman, these people had the biggest impact in developing his values in serving the country and teaching him about becoming a good citizen. He thus emphasized the significance that each of the roles, filled by the 66 DoDDS Korea staff members being recognized that day, had.
“What you do every day is so important - it’s the most important thing we’ve got going on here on the peninsula, outside of defending this place,” Thurman said.
In the midst of an uncertain period, Thurman explained that it was especially important that the people who strongly influenced future generations were doing a good job in educating the younger members of the community. Thurman presented each of the 66 DoDDs Korea staff members with scrolls of appreciation, on behalf of USFK.
Staff members included teachers, counselors, secretaries, technicians, librarians and administrators.
Sixteen were recognized for serving DoDDs for over 20 years.
Some of the honorees had four decades of service.
Laurel Eisinger, principal of Daegu American School, who has served DoDDs for 30 years, said she had worked through multiple positions within DoDDs, including the district level, area level and administrative level.
Having invested a significant amount of time in the profession, Eisinger said, “I believe right from the bottom of my heart that effective educators help children to be the successful leaders of tomorrow.”
After being in the profession and meeting many other teachers, however, she said, “I don’t think there’s an educator that doesn’t take this job whose goal isn’t to make a difference.”
While Eisinger is convinced that effective educators are crucial for impacting future generations, she also stated that it’s not just the doing of educators.
Rather, she added, it is a task that is performed by the whole community.

CUE is a nonprofit educational organization that inspires innovative learners by fostering community, personalizing learning, infusing technology, developing leadership, and advocating educational opportunities for all. When it was founded in 1978, it was known as Computer Using Educators, but now “everybody uses computers now, so it’s now, just CUE,” as one CUE leader tells me. At this year’s conference, the hallways are abuzz with conversation and activity in a way that is reminiscent of early technology summits.
More than 7000 attendees descend onto the Palm Springs Convention Center each year for three days of learning, friendship, and education. There is a palpable feeling of excitement about learning and trying new things. Rooms are packed to the brim. On the second day, the fire marshall starts coming by, and clearing rooms where educators are learning about Google Apps for the classroom, advanced Lego for physics and geometry, Social Media for student growth, and the list goes on. There is literally no room left in these talks, demonstrations, and collaborations of educators. It is an incredible feeling to see the thirst for learning about technology felt so deeply and passionately. Educators love technology. Technology loves educators.
A steady stream of more than 500 applicants flowed through the Community Choice Convention Center, from 8 to noon Saturday morning for the the annual Educator Career Fair. Interviews for high demand positions took place throughout the event, and more than 100 educators will be hired for the 2017-18 school year.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

She is represented by Stuart Shave/Modern Art in London, Anton Kern Gallery in New York as well as by Galerie Gebr. Lehmann in Dresden and Berlin.
The Bowtie Project is a partnership between Clockshop and California State Parks to activate an 18-acre post-industrial lot along the LA River. Since 2014, Clockshop has executed over 35 artist projects, performances, and events at the Bowtie.
Bowtie Project
2780 W. Casitas Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90039
MAP
Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.

The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.
