Independent play setups for babies and toddlers at the Resources for Infant Educarers' (RIE) Center in Los Angeles.
These simple toys invite the children to bring their own complexity and creativity to play. This is more educational than any "learning toys," and they're more fun too! I tried to capture how intriguing these simple objects are to exploring infants by getting down on a baby's level.
Taken in August 2013.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Gilsizer Slough Project near South Township Rd, Yuba City, CA, Friday, August 28, 2015. The project features the installation of 40 high efficiency irrigation systems (50% water saving) and 40 vegetative cover crops and filter strips; and the adoption of nutrient and pest management practices by 40 producers. The field has berms that contain this plum orchard (not related to the project) that normally uses flood irrigation to cover the soil with water from the adjacent Gilsizer Slough. But, due to the critical drought conditions, less and less water was drawn over the past four years. No water could be drawn in 2015. A well was drilled to pump ground water from the aquifer below. Water is delivered to this and other fields by way of control valves, underground pipes and surface canals. A danger to flood irrigation berms is the tunnels of borrowing animals. This can cause accelerated berm erosion and escape of irrigation water. If micro irrigation were to be installed, both systems could remain in place and work cooperatively, such as with flood being used for pest control and micro irrigation to water the tree roots. A perennial clover cover crop has been planted between the rows of trees, and emerges on it’s own each year. USDA Photo By Lance Cheung.

Cotton grown at the center is part of the varietyy trial.
The soils and topography of southeast Missouri offer researchers a unique opportunity to study cotton and rice production and irrigation. Researchers also are evaluating better soybean cropping systems, and weed, insect and disease-control systems. Three locations make up Fisher Delta Research Center’s 1,078 acres in a 12-county area that forms the Missouri Bootheel. Scientists at the center have gained recognition for developing improved soybean varieties, especially those with soybean cyst nematode resistance and maintain a regional soil and plant-testing laboratory.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently received an “A” on a report card from the Center for Plain Language a non-profit group that monitors the Plain Writing Act of 2011. USDA was the only government agency that received an “A” for all documents, new and revised since the Plain Writing act became law, October 2011. The Plain Writing Committee wagered what grade USDA would receive and the losers of the wager were to donate 25 pounds of food each to the USDA Feds Feed Families food drive. The donation was displayed in the Departmental Management conference room in Washington, DC Monday, July 23, 2012. (L to R Terry Bish, Public Affairs Specialist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Beth Gaston, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Jerry Mande, Deputy Under Secretary, Food Safety Inspection Service and Senior Official for Plain Writing, Suzanne Austin-Kashawlic, Employee Relations Specialist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Associate Assistant Secretary for Administration Dr Alma Hobbs, Oscar Gonzales, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Departmental Administration and Dr. Gregory Parham, Assistant Secretary for Departmental Administration (not pictured James Gore, Deputy Chief, Natural Resources Conservation Service.)

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist Salvador Salinas with Federal and state partners, including representatives from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) held a press conference at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, in Austwell, TX, on Friday, Dec. 16, 2011. Salinas covered the recent announcement of the USDA-NRCS Gulf of Mexico Initiative (GoMI) efforts to improve water quality, habitat, and the health of the Gulf ecosystem. “Launching this initiative is a top priority for NRCS in Texas because the Gulf of Mexico is one of our state’s premier natural resources. It provides vital habitat for wildlife, and creates jobs in industries that depend upon them. The health of this resource is essential to Texas as well as to the nation,” said Salinas.
The Texas initiative focuses on three watersheds in Refugio, Calhoun, Victoria and Aransas counties and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. “What is really compelling about GoMI and other similar conservation efforts is that they prove that Texas farmers and ranchers not only feed and clothe us and power our vehicles, but they can also help protect and restore our rivers and provide more habitat for wildlife,” stated Salinas. “That’s why it is important that this conservation project is not about taking productive farm land out of production. This is a working lands initiative, so that not only are we helping to restore the health of the Gulf, but we’re also helping to sustain and enhance the productivity of the Gulf’s farms and ranches.” USDA photo by Lance Cheung.
Pristine environments, limited resources, and near-complete isolation are just some of the attractions of Antarctica, often termed the White Desert. Numerous research stations dot the outer regions of the continent where scientists gather data on glaciology, seismology, climate change and the stars.
The French-Italian Concordia research station is one of three year-round stations and is located on Dome C, a plateau some 3200 m above sea level. Secluded from the world in inhospitable conditions, the crew stationed there tackle temperatures that can drop to –80°C in the winter, with a yearly average temperature of –50°C.
The air is extremely dry, so the crew suffer from continuously chapped lips and irritated eyes. The great open landscape alternates between months of night and months of daylight, and colours, smells and sounds are almost non-existent, adding to the sense of loneliness.
In other words, Concordia is perfect.
Here, researchers study the atmosphere, free from pollution, to gain insights into how the world’s population is changing Earth’s climate. Scientists conduct glaciology research by analysing the Antarctic plateau to reveal clues to our past as chemicals are trapped and frozen in the ice.
The thin atmosphere, clear skies and zero light-pollution around Concordia make it an enviable place for observing the Universe. The very southern location of Antarctica also makes it ideal for studying Earth’s magnetic field.
Delving deeper, Concordia is looking at the inside movements of Earth. A seismograph at Concordia measures movement and the research base is part of the international network of seismograph stations.
And then there is the human factor. Despite all the hardships of life in Antarctica, up to 16 people spend around a year at a time living in Concordia in the name of science. In addition to helping conduct other experiments and station maintenance, they are an experiment themselves. And ESA sends a medical doctor to Concordia to study the crew, like this year’s resident Dr Carmen Possnig, imaged above.
The elevation, isolation and sensory deprivation can wreak havoc on crewmembers’ biological clock, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Researchers track the effects of this on the human body and mind which adds to data being collected on astronauts on the International Space Station.
Insights are used to help people on Earth like shift workers, bedridden patients and those suffering from sleep disorders, and of course, astronauts serving in low Earth orbit.
Antarctic research at Concordia is helping humans adapt, mentally and physically, to a changing climate, a longer voyage in space, and eventually, life on another planet.
