The 2018 UNEVOC TVET Leadership Programme was launched today at the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre, Bonn. 19 mid- to senior-level TVET leaders from UNEVOC Centres and other institutions from 18 countries around the world are participating in the programme. The programme aims to enable the participants to hone their leadership skills through nine modules guided by key international experts in a highly engaging environment.
At least, I think it's called the Flame of Knowledge... Anyway, this sculpture stands outside of the main entrance of the Robin Campus of Roosevelt University in Schaumberg, where I teach in the mornings. It was sunnier later, but it looked nicer here.

Yesterday was a bit warm in the Cuse so I went to Cold Stone Creamery for some vanilla ice cream.
I asked for a SMALL ice cream and when I looked over, the clerk was stuffing the little cup better than a turkey.
I ran over to him and saying, nooooooooooo....I wanted a small.
Well he just passed me my order and while I walked away a tad annoyed, I thought, " well, I'll just eat half."
But my Cold Stone experience made me think about meal proportions in the U.S
A small= at least a medium and a medium= at least a large.
It's ridiculous...some how bigger is better but when you're adding on a 200-300 extra unneeded calories to my meal then we have this disease known as OBESITY.
I tried to watch another episode of No Reservations and I couldn't finish the episode.
Anthony Bourdain was in Quebec stuffing himself with endless amounts of foie gras.
Images of poor ducks and geese being forced feed kept flooding my mind.
So went back to browsing and came across the movie Food, Inc.
As many of us yankee know, the food industry is run by individuals more interested in their larger than life back accounts than the health of the American people.
When you have the time, please check out the film.
Take back your health by making healthier choices in the food you eat and where you spend your money.
Tom Otterness’s “Tree of Knowledge’’ sculpture slyly deploys cute figures to make cutting social commentary. The cheeky “Tree of Knowledge,’’ is a 9-foot-tall bronze tree populated with critters, which needles the justice system. A blind bird holds the scales of justice as a menacing snake slithers toward it up the tree trunk. A beaver and a possum, both in business suits, represent lawyers. The beaver gnaws away devilishly at the tree’s base.This is in The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway , Boston , USA

The prayer hall was not big enough for everyone. Many got to wait for the second shift including the photographer. That's how he was able to take this shot.
Our project, 18-02-04P Applying 4H and Scout Knowledge for the Community in Omaha, Nebraska has two areas we are focusing on which is Soil and Water Management. Aquatic Society of Omaha INC, 4H, Scouts, and various other youth programs students will be using this raised bed project area. This project was started with students at Aquatic Society of Omaha INC along with students testing their own wells in Uganda with St Rosa College as part of Grades of Green Global project to conserve water and verify its quality. Crops need excellent water supplies but also, we need not to over watering the sites to avoid run off. With the 4 H curriculum, plus University of Nebraska at Lincoln course work Water Education Leader for Secondary Science, we will go over how water moves through different types of soil and test the water plus soil. To avoid nitrate population by over fertilize the crops. The reason we have all grouped together for this project is that a common theme has been expressed that each scout or 4 H individual has to find a place on their own to do experiments with plants. For example, there is a Basal contest at the state fair for 4H but most of the students live in Omaha were open fields are few in this urban area. This favors students in rural areas verse urban areas. This will give these students a place to grow their crop plus learn more of the food science behind modern farming practices. With more students having access to develop food plus the ability to share across 12 states with the North Central Regional Aquaculture Center more will be able to explain their “hands on” application. This also gives students the ability to go to county and state fairs to demonstrate their knowledge to others. With our grant we will be building larger raised beds for the 130 day Nebraska growing season.
The success of this program several factors such as enrollments with: scouts, 4 H, and more community entities getting involved. Another factor is how many are entering 4 H county and state fairs with this as an exhibit. The community part is based on the food provided to Stephen Center to help address hunger. I would encourage the need of students to volunteer at Open Door Mission and Stephen Center to assist them.
Note-Grids are a tool for collecting and connecting objects of thought (in this case, words).
They treat words and other manifestations of thought as objects that can be freely manipulated to create new meaning.
They break meaning up into individual words to facilitate a more fluid, intuitive, and improvisational approach to knowledge production.
