The New Jersey State Seal - This terra cotta seal was on the old Route 9 bridge as it crossed Route 1 in Woodbridge. The bridge was demolished in 2001, but this and 3 other seals were saved. (Save the Seals! lol)
On the seal the horse head stands for speed and strength. The helmet from a suit of armor faces forward representing self-governance. The three plows below that represent the vital importance of agriculture to the state's economy.
The Goddesses Liberty (left) and Ceres (right) represent freedom from the British and the abundance of agricultural produce.

IT-Academy, a software development training business based at ololoHaus, Osh. For IT-Academy, a project of the Kyrgyz Software and Services Developers Association (KSSDA), whose slogan is “Live in Kyrgyzstan, work with the world”, ololo's regional expansion was a reason to change its office to a space in ololohausOsh to join a community sharing its values. Young people study programming and after graduating earn up to US $500, which is 2.3 times more than the average salary in the country.
“IT-Academy's goal is to educate 50,000 programmers in Kyrgyzstan by the end of 2030. When ololo opened a space in Osh we moved here from another place as we share the same values”, says KSSDA chairman, Azis Abakirov.

AP aims to inspire rising entrepreneurs in emerging regions to grow new markets, create sustainable employment, and strengthen communities.
AP’s first project in Kyrgyzstan in 2018 was the establishment of one of Osh’s first co-working space, ololoHaus, Osh. Supported by USAID grant of $35,000, AP worked with a local entrepreneur to create a new space to help incubate and grow small to medium sized enterprises. ololoHaus, Osh, currently houses a software development training business called IT-Academy, a dentistry design business amongst others, and Som.kg, a local version of Craigslist amongst others.
Aiperi Omurzakova, a 28 year-old mother of three from Osh, spends every spare second working on her start-up enterprise, Som.kg. In November 2018, she pioneered a local version of Craigslist, a free classifieds website.
At first, Aiperi could only afford a shipping container as an office space, but then ololohausOsh came across her radar. ololohausOsh is a creative coworking space in the city center providing its residents all necessary amenities such as office furniture and Wi-Fi.
"When I moved here, I acquired more customers, because here in Osh, people really pay attention to how your office looks. If it's beautiful, they are impressed and ready to trust you. Now I also have two employees", Aiperi says.

One of my recent projects is revising my website "Zen Stories to Tell Your Neighbors." I'm updating it from the type of page design that was popular 15 years ago when I first built it. This revision includes photos I created for each of the stories.
"Prosperity" is one of my favorite stories:
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue tours the Sukup Manufacturing Company on his Back to Our Roots Tour in Sheffield, Iowa on Aug. 5, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is on a five-state RV tour, featuring stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, is titled the “Back to Our Roots” Tour, to gather input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, Aug. 3-8, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots.

Overview of Charters Towers History.
Until around 1900 this was the second largest city in QLD! It called itself “The World” and with good reason. The gold finds here lasted a good 40 years. The town had a long period of wealth and growth. And the town took itself to the world which was a first for any mining centre in Australia and for any city apart from the state capital cities. Because of the wealth in the town share brokers started businesses there in the early 1880s. They agreed in 1885 to form a group and establish a stock exchange – the only one in Australia that has ever existed outside of a capital city. Then in 1886 they took the city to the world- at the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. The set up a display of mining and ore crushing and they accepted £1 shares in various mining companies that operated in the town. It was a great success. One company is an example- Day Dawn Block and Wyndham- they received almost £500,000 in paid up shares to finance their future mining work! This exhibition put Charters Towers on the world map and was the first time London investors invested directly in Australian mines rather than through a London based share broking company or finance company. Some of the companies were duds but most were not. The peak gold yields from Charters Towers did not come until 1899 but these yields would not have occurred without the London finance for the deep shafts that were needed to reach to gold. The influx of money into the town transformed the place. The wooden structures, many dating from 1872 the time of the original gold finds were replaced with lavish and imposing stone and brick structures. The main street was rebuilt. Grand houses were built by the successful miners and the period from 1886-1893 was a boom building period. Prosperity was assisted by the development of the new cyanide gold processing works which produced even more gold for the miners and investors. The new cyanide works opened in Charters Towers in 1892. Fortunately we can still see some of this faded glory in Charters Towers today. But in the 1890s it was the best place to live in QLD outside of Brisbane. Thus it was not surprising that the Northern Mining Register newspaper wrote in 1897 that:
Most mining in Charters Towers ceased around 1912.
Discovery and Early Establishment of Charters Towers.
Hugh Mosman, whom we have heard of before on this tour, George Clarke, John Fraser and their Aboriginal horse boy called Jupiter Mosman were prospecting near Ravenswood in December 1871 when they found the first gold in the region. They registered their find as Charters Towers after Mr Charters the Gold Commissioner of the day and Towers because of the conical shaped stone hills (tors) near the site which looked like towers. A gold rushed quickly followed in 1872 with the birth of the town. Mosman and his mates discovered 10 gold reefs. Early finds were of alluvial gold but soon deep shafts were needed to extract the ore and companies were formed with money and capital to undertake this work. British investment led to the transformation of the canvas and wooden town into a fine stone metropolis occurred after 1886 as explained above. The gold at Charters Towers was the major find in QLD and an important find for Australia. By the end of 1878 there were 12 mills processing ore in the town. The Venus Battery works which started operations in 1872 operated right through until 1972. For most of the period from the mid 1870s up to 1906 gold exports from QLD exceeded those of the other major QLD export - wool. QLD certainly had much more gold than NSW but much less than Victoria although not all QLD gold came from Charters Towers. During its peak years over 200,000 ounces of gold a year were mined in Charters Towers. Although the mining companies closed down operations in 1912 individual miners continued working the field right up to World War Two and the old cyanide ore dumps from the battery works have been reworked since then.
