This young girl is sitting alone reading a book with a flower in her hand. She appears to be introspective, educated and enjoying her solitude. To me, she symbolizes the importance of young girls empowering themselves through enjoying being independent and reading books to further educate themselves.
Knowledge can be assimilated to culture because this too is experienced by the individual after it has been sought and the research has left something in him. But there is no room for a "culture of knowledge", one that favors knowledge and awareness before action.
At PMA's Tech Knowledge Symposium, attendees learned about groundbreaking technologies leading companies in the industry are deploying today with real-world results. They connected with tech partners and gained trusted information about tools that can manage labor, speed workflow and eliminate redundancies.

Please mark your calendars! We have confirmed Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Rain or Shine, as the day and time we clean up the stream in the North Point Section (from behind the ARC to North Point Boulevard). ANY time you can give to helping us out is more than appreciated. We are continuing with this section since it has never been cleaned (to the best of our knowledge).
Remember, there will be plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We will need every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the Clean Up. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we can use people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to work the grills as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and
Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. Please feel free to pass this information on to other who might be interesting in helping as well. As my grandfather always said, “Many hands makes the work light”
Our cleanups are part of an ongoing effort clean the entire stream by 2014 in preparation for the War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. (Bread and Cheese Creek has been noted as one of the highlighted locations on the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail) The creek played a rather significant part in the Battle of North Point which took place on September 12, 1814. Both the American and British Troops camped along its banks. It is rumored that the young heroes Daniel Wells (19) and Henry McComas (18) used the stream channel to sneak up on British General Robert Ross killing him with their muskets before being killed in return fire. This important part of our history should not be left the eyesore it currently is.

BIKEFEST
AUSTRALIANS buy more bikes than they do cars and Melbourne loves a festival. Bringing these two traits together for the past four weeks has been Melbourne Bikefest (pictured), which closes today with a photo scavenger hunt. Bikefun Northside Knowledge this afternoon sees cyclists having to answer the question, ''How well do you know Melbourne?'' There's also the Bikefest BMX jam (at Riverslide Skate Park, Alexandra Gardens) tonight.
Today 2pm, Rotunda, Edinburgh Gardens, North Fitzroy, free, melbournebikefest.com.au

Equipped with this wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, Arthur will be joining the CARE-Zambia’s ADAPT project (Agro-dealer project) in January, 2010. ADAPT is a 3-year project aimed at increasing rural access to affordable agricultural inputs through a network of input agro-dealers and distributors in 3 different provinces of Zambia. CARE aims to adopt a market facilitation approach which will require new organizational capacities and management approaches. To assist with developing these capacities, Arthur will be supporting the ADAPT team in two major management capacity building areas: the development of an implementation-level monitoring and evaluation system in order to gather relevant information and thus support improved decision making for day-to-day management; and offering on-going support to upgrade staff skills as market facilitators in the form of business training.
His room was small and cold. The heater was left on day and night, even though it's a well know fact that fire caused by such heaters are the number one cause of deaths in South Africa's squatter areas.
Inside there was a bed, a torn couch, one chair, the heater, and for some odd reason, a computer. I didn't make any comment about it for the first half of my stay. It did fascinate me though; the context of it's existence, that is. There were nights where we had only a few slices of bread and a small portion of fried chips to share, so 'how could Kheta ever afford a computer?', I pondered. Our bellies were empty, but his computer was full of songs. How could it be?
As time passed, I saw how Kheta produced intricate music on this computer, even crafting speakers out of broken headphones he had stumbled upon.
I began to realize something: I was in the company of a very special person, and something equally special had to come from this trip.
