At one of our quick stops the other day, I happened to notice this particularly beautiful tree a short distance away, covered in bright yellowy/green Lichen. Couldn't resist taking a shot or two, needless to say. I don't know if it's Wolf Lichen, which is the only Lichen, in my extremely limited knowledge, that is this colour.
My friends, Cathy and Terry, and I, had left Calgary early morning on Wednesday (14 May 2014) and I think it was around 12:15 a.m. midnight (Thursday, 15 May 2014), that they dropped me off at home after two long, wonderful days in the Rocky Mountains, west of the city. Wednesday night was spent in a spotless motel, in a place that had so many Mountain Sheep roaming the streets, lol! Though we were hoping to see at least one Bear, I was happy as can be to see absolutely anything beautiful : )
Over the two days, we had 7 bear sightings, with three definitely different Black Bears (no Grizzlies), and possibly four. The rest of the sightings were of Bears we had already seen. My friends are good at telling individual bears, often by a certain scar and, of course, the actual location. Many of the bears we see, they have seen before. Basically, it's all about timing, as with any wildlife. A few minutes earlier or later and we would have missed seeing something special. We just happened to be lucky. All wildlife/nature photographers know it's all about timing : )
I was so tired after the trip, that I had no choice but to fall into bed at 7:00 p.m. yesterday evening, thinking that a short nap might be a good idea. I slept for something like 13 hours with a couple of hours awake in the middle. I think the excruciating pain in both arms and shoulders was a factor in my utter tiredness, too.
Just cross the blur and you will end up in the ocean of knowledge, a very very vast ocean and a beautiful one.

Samplers were first made in the 1400s or 1500s as a way of remembering different types of stitches or patterns. Over time they evolved into pieces of work made by young girls, proving their knowledge and patience.
The Herbert has over 60 samplers in its collection. With volunteers from NADFAS we have recently completed a project to improve their storage and to make them more accessible. You can see some of the samplers on display at the Herbert in the History Gallery, Connected and in What's in Store.

Increasing diversity in health sciences careers and research
Carlos Crespo, director of the PSU School of Community Health, started bringing local community college students to Portland State for summer research opportunities about five years ago, but he learned students need a lot more than just a summer experience to help them pursue a health research career.
Crespo now directs EXITO, a $24 million NIH grant-supported program that recruits and supports diverse students to pursue advanced degrees and careers in health, science, and technology. Program participants are undergraduates who receive academic advising, training, faculty mentorship, and funding to advance their research interests over their four-year degree.
Growing from that single partnership with Portland Community College years ago, PSU now partners with nine schools through EXITO—including OHSU, University of Alaska-Anchorage, and University of Hawaii—and serves 10 times as many students. Students are recruited as freshman in cohorts of about 60-70, and pursue their own research interests such as social determinacy of health, neurobiology, attention-deficit disorder, and more.
The program is open to all students, but an emphasis is placed on recruiting underrepresented minority students, students with disabilities, and those who have been through the foster care system. “At the end, we want to have a more diverse pool of students interested in biomedical research,” Crespo says.
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.
How precious is school tuition, in a remote industrial site, situated in the heart of a tropical forest? The village of Ngombé boasts public schools for all ages, preparing students who may choose to continue studying in College, either in Congo Brazzaville or Cameroon, Senegal, etc.

Ryan Jenson
Invented precision drones for farms
Ryan Jenson invented a precision agriculture drone during a conversation about spraying wheat crops. Why spray everywhere, he questioned; why not just where it's needed?
"I figured you could do it with robots," Jenson says, and HoneyComb Corp. was born.
Jenson, 28, not only grew up on a 100-acre farm in Eagle Creek, Ore., he also started studying college-level engineering at 14 years old. He earned his bachelor's and later his master’s in mechanical engineering from Portland State.
At HoneyComb Jenson and two friends, who are now his business partners, merged aerospace systems and remote sensing to invent a drone that locates problem areas in agriculture or forested lands.
"There's not a system in place today that's tailored to agriculture like this," Jenson says. "We developed it on our own."
The company is Jenson's second; he partnered with PSU professor Mark Weislogel to form a business that deals with space systems.
"I always wanted to start my own company and do my own thing," Jenson says. "Everyone in my family has their own company—it's in my DNA."
Jenson finds validation in his companies' sure trajectory. His space systems work is entering another phase and the HoneyComb drone is already generating sales. By 2015, Jenson plans on global expansion.
"Once you start building and creating your own vision of things, you realize it's doable," he says. "We're bringing technology to a place where people didn't think it was possible and having an impact."

My main goal with this image was to layer as many colors as I could into one picture without making it too overwhelming. I knew I wanted the colors to be accompanied by a strong abstract message, so I chose hands as the main subject.
