Miami Habitat is holding its seventh Women Build through December 3, 2011, in Liberty City. More than 200 women will come together to volunteer to build a home for partner family Tiara Armstrong and her five year old daughter Jamaria, just in time for the holidays. “My family was very happy and we cried tears of joy when we found out that I was accepted to the program,” said Armstrong. “Owning my own home will be a blessing!”
Women Build is a Habitat for Humanity International program underwritten by Lowe’s which brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions worldwide. Since the program’s inception in 1998, Women Build volunteers have constructed more than 1,800 houses, including six in Miami-Dade County.
Miami Habitat’s Women Build is in line with its ongoing Liberty City Shine campaign, which aims to build or rehab 90 homes in Liberty City in the coming year. Women Build recruits, educates and inspires women to build decent and affordable homes for low-income families in their communities. Many women come to the Women Build site without previous construction experience and find their inner Rosie the Riveter as they learn new skills and make a positive impact in the community. Their leadership and service are changing lives.

On December 11, UMBC's Department of Information Systems held a special topics poster session featuring students in the Human Centered Computing program's Assistive Technology Class. The projects featured were the result of a collaboration with the Kennedy Krieger Schools and UMBC SUCCESS program. This class, led by IS Faculty Dr. Amy Hurst (pictured left) is part of the UMBC Breaking Ground initiative.
The annual fall canoe paddle with Professor of Biological Sciences David White offers students an opportunity to wade through some of the most beautiful swamps and bayous just a short distance from New Orleans in southeastern Louisiana.
The trips start in the late afternoon and last into the evening and night offers a great twilight experience to see firsthand our cypress trees, swamp, marsh plants, and wildlife. Participants see see alligators, wading birds, ducks, and spectacular scenes of Spanish-moss covered trees. With lights after dark participants shine for night-stalking wildlife.
Dr. White studies plant community and population ecology in wetland ecosystems. Recent research has focused on study of the establishment and spread of the marsh reed, Phragmites australis, within the Mississippi River Delta and the community structure of tropical forests in the Yucatan Peninsula. Dr. White is also involved in a long term research project (going on 25 yrs) on marsh plant biomass within the Delta.
The Community Boat Project students, led by Captains Wayne Chimenti and MB Armstrong and veteran teacher Marci Van Cleve, launched the fourth boat built in the program, the 32-foot sailing vessel EPIC.
The Community Boat Project is a unique partnership between the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding (the lead organization), Port Townsend School District (#50), Chimacum School District (#49), 4-H/Washington State University (WSU), and the Puget Sound Voyaging Society.
You can see what the Shop is doing at their website, here: communityboats.wordpress.com/
It is an "all ages, all volunteers" community-oriented non-profit organization specializing in free, accredited programs for high school students.
Intergenerational maritime education is the mission of the Community Boat Shop.
The Shop strives to give youth a "sense of place" by connecting them to the environment, the economy, and the people of the Olympic Peninsula.
In short, Community Boat Project volunteers --build-- large voyaging boats with high school students - one large boat per year - while the non-profit Puget Sound Voyaging Society, which runs at the same time, and then through the summer, teaches high school students how to -- use-- those same boats.
The program's philosophy is centered on five principles.
Social Justice: Quality educational opportunities should be available to all. Therefore all Community Boatshop programs are free to public school youth or sliding scale that matches the needs of any group. Community Boatshop programs are open to all.
Community Supported Education: Education should be community driven. The Local Community drives what is important to learn. Community Boatshop programs are funded by donations of materials and money from the community, and are run on 100% volunteer expertise and energy.
Experiential Learning: Learning is best done through hands-on, real meaningful experiences.
Environmental Sustainability and Sensitivity: The environmental implications of all of Community Boatshop actions are considered, and the the best choice made for minimum impact.
Empowerment: There is a leader in every person.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
The School's mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.

After five wonderful years, 3rd Street Kids Club is closing its doors on June 30. Kids Club serves low-income families by providing an after-school program for elementary through middle school youth in the city of Long Beach.
Many of the students have been in the program together since Kids Club opened in 2004. As a final project, the students have worked collaboratively with professional artists from throughout southern California to produce “Fresh off the Scene.” The exhibit features 15 individual works of art by fifth through eighth grade students. Each student selected a concept for their piece based on social issues such as the environment, war, and gender equality.
All of the program’s other students, who range in age from 5 to 10 years, worked on a mural in collaboration with artist Joseph Fernandez.
An opening reception will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 10th at the Pike Rotunda in downtown Long Beach. The exhibit will run through the end of July.
“Fresh off the Scene” is an Urban Canvas production and is hosted by the Phantom Galleries LA.

CAMP CASEY, South Korea – Some of the nearly 100 parents and youngsters who took part in this year’s Summer Reading Program said it helped kids cultivate the all-important skill of reading while affording fun and friendship along the way.
The seven-week program, which met once a week at the Camp Casey Library starting June 28, ended Aug. 18 with a closing party at the post’s Gateway Club. (They skipped one Thursday in observance of the July 4 holiday).
Those taking part were encouraged to read continually and keep a running record of how many minutes they’d read, said Tracey Klippert, supervisory librarian for the Casey enclave libraries.
And they’d meet Thursdays at the library for a range of activities – Klippert would read the kids a story, and there were things like arts and crafts or bowling.
“Our major purpose is to encourage children to read so they can have knowledge, and do better in school,” said Klippert. “Also we just want to encourage families to spend time together and have fun.”
“It was fun, I read a lot,” said Blake Arriaga, 8, who’s entering third grade this year. “It helps me get better at reading. It encouraged me to read better books, like, harder books, because it helps your vocabulary. Reading is really important.”
He read about 20 books, at the third- and fourth-grade level, during the period of the program, said his mother, Olivia Arriaga.
The boy was one of 72 children enrolled this summer, as were 22 adults and four teens. Most of the youngsters ranged in age from about 5 to 11, Klippert said.
This was the first summer Area I opened the program to adults and teens, she said.
The record-keeping was on the honor system. Prizes were available for those who reached the program’s stated goals: for adults and teens, 1,000 minutes; for youngsters, 800 minutes.
Each time an adult or teen reached 250 minutes they could come in to the library and select one of the prizes that were kept in a box. For kids, every 100 minutes of reading allowed a visit to the prize box.
“Studies have shown that children who read during the summer time do better on their testing like in the fall, than children who do not read during the summer,” said Klippert. “They’re better able to retain the knowledge that they’ve learned.”
Blake’s mother said the program is important and valuable.
“First, it gives the children something to look forward to, if they’re not in any sort of camp or vacationing,” she said.
“But also just to keep them engaged in reading, wanting to read, making it fun to read, having educational activities to go along with what they’re reading.”
In Lovi Harvey’s family too, reading is seen as so important a life skill that her children read at least 20 minutes a day. “Sometimes when they’re really into it, they’ll go 40 minutes,” she said.
But she also welcomed the chance it gave her family to get to know fellow-members of the Area I community.
“For me, I thought it was awesome because we just moved here, just over two months ago, and we were looking for ways for our kids to participate in different things, get to know other kids and just socialize,” Harvey said.
Springboro Tree Farms in Brookston, Indiana runs raw maple sap through a reverse osmosis machine multiple times before starting to boil reducing the necessary boiling time from 50 hours to 12. Rich Hines, who owns the farms, has worked with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service to implement conservation practices on his 33 acres of his forestland in Brookston, Indiana. Hines used the forest for maple syrup production as well as recreation. Hines worked with NRCS through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program to implement brush management, trail improvements and a forest management plan. He also utilized the Conservation Stewardship Program’s forest songbird habitat maintenance, forest stand improvement and tree planting enhancements. (NRCS photo by Brandon O’Connor)

Workers operating under the H-2B visa program pick crabs at Russell Hall Seafood in Fishing Creek, Md., on June 15, 2020. Russell Hall is one of only two out of the five picking houses on Hoopers Island that were awarded visas for workers this year. Mark Phillips, son of Russell Hall owner Harry Phillips, says “it doesn’t just hurt his business, but the whole community,” as watermen have fewer places to offload their catch. “We’ve had job fairs everywhere, Baltimore to Washington, [but] people just aren’t going to do it,” Phillips said. “If I had to run this business and rely on Americans, I’d sell it today.” (Photo by Carlin Stiehl/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Found a video from the new dolphin presentation in the newly renovated Dolphinarium (20 yrs old) at Brookfield Zoo - I'm not sure why, but I get very emotional when I see the dolphins perform and end up with tears streaming down my face. They are such magnificent creatures. God did good !!
Watch Tapeko hit the ball hanging from the ceiling.
If you think it's easy to follow these dolphins during the show to get them on video, well think again - LOL - and you gotta love the "tail walk"
Enjoy

About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.

South Carolina National Guard Soldiers, and fire department/EMS rescuers with the S.C. Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (SC-HART) program, S.C. Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (SC-TF1), perform hoist-training operations during the preliminary phases of “Patriot South Exercise 2017” (Patriot South 17), a joint training-exercise focused on natural disaster-response and preparedness, Gulfport and Port Bienville Industrial Complex (PBIC), Mississippi, Jan. 29, 2017. Patriot South 17 is taking place at multiple locations across Mississippi, from January 23 through February 7, 2017, and it offers the National Guard and its local and federal partners a realistic-training opportunity to test response capabilities, procedures, and readiness through a simulated hurricane and Tsunami scenario “hitting the coastal areas of the state.” Specifically, in preparation for future operations, South Carolina’s Headquarters and Headquarters and (-) Company A 2-151st Security and Support Aviation Battalion, 59th Aviation Troop Command, deployed both its current HART-capable platforms, the UH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter and its LUH-72A Lakota light utility helicopter--the latter being a recent addition to the HART program for South Carolina.

A blue crab lies onboard a deadrise workboat captained by Mark Kitching while crab scraping at dawn around the waters of Smith Island, Md., on Aug. 1, 2020. Kitching relies on years of first-hand observation and local knowledge to weather the unpredictability of good and bad fishing years. “It’s an industry where one year you feel like you are on top of the world and another you could not be.” Kitching said. “Faith has always been something for us to make a living out of, and it hasn’t let us down.” (Photo by Carlin Stiehl/Chesapeake Bay Program)
