★WHAT IS THE DREAM ROCKET PROJECT?
The Dream Rocket Team is collecting nearly 8,000 artworks from participants around the globe. The artwork will be assembled together to create a massive cover in which will wrap a 37 story Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We will also be displaying submitted artwork in dozens of national venues prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V. Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, participants are asked to write an essay explaining their artwork, and the dream theme in which they chose.
★How can I Participate & Have my Artwork Displayed?
The Dream Rocket project would like to challenge you to ‘Dare to Dream’. To dream about your future and the future of our world through dream themes such as health, community, conservation, science, technology, space, peace, and so on. We would like you to use your selected Dream Theme to express, explore, and create your vision on your section of the wrap. We hope that you are able to express and learn through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, you are asked to write a brief essay explaining your artwork, and the dream theme in which you chose.
“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York

One of our educational ambassador dogs taken yesterday to listen to children reading in a local elementary school. This dog is a rescue, who lost his right eye in an accident. He is just 9 months old and an absolute credit to his handler.
In upstate New York, about two hours drive from the city, is a unique 'village' that is called the Watchtower Educational Center.
School architecture of a certain age often has some lovely details, but photographing them can be fraught with danger in these times when using a camera in the vicinity excites suspicion and hostility.
Brierley Primary School in Crewe has an array of terracotta ornamentation on the buildings. In addition to the plaques over entrances for boys and girls, the gables have words of encouragement for the pupils. The boys side has 'Obey', 'Hope' and 'Duty', whilst on the girls side the mottos are 'Love', 'Neatness' and 'Order'.
St. Thomas University (STU) is a private Catholic university in Opa-locka North, Miami Gardens, Florida. The university offers 23 undergraduate majors, 24 graduate majors, 4 doctoral programs, and 1 professional law program. As of 2018, the university enrolls 4,223 students, which includes 982 undergraduate students; 977 graduate students; 571 law students; and 1,693 dual enrollment (high school) students. Over the years, the University's students have represented several states across the nation, and more than 70 countries.
St. Thomas University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities (SACS). The school of law is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). The baccalaureate degree program in nursing and master's degree program in nursing are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
St. Thomas University's history can be traced back to 1946 Havana, Cuba, where it was founded as the Universidad Católica de Santo Tomás de Villanueva, named after Saint Thomas of Villanova. In 1961, Fidel Castro's militia confiscated the school's land and expelled the faculty and priests. In turn, the Augustinians fled to Miami and opened a new Catholic men's college – Biscayne College. In 1984, with the establishment of the School of Law and other graduate degree programs, the college, by then co-educational, again became St. Thomas University. The university came under the sponsorship of the Archdiocese of Miami in 1988, conferring upon St. Thomas the distinction of being the only Catholic Archdiocesan sponsored university in the state of Florida.
From 1970 until 1993, St. Thomas University was the training camp home of the Miami Dolphins NFL team.
Biscayne College, now known as St. Thomas University, was also the former spring training home of the Baltimore Orioles.
The university was located in the Opa-locka North census-designated place, in an unincorporated area, until Miami Gardens incorporated as a city on May 13, 2003.
On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, St. Thomas University formally installed David A. Armstrong, J.D. as the University's 10th president,

School Children visiting the Krishimela organized by the University of Agricultural Sciences in Bengaluru to know the latest Technologies developed by the Scientists.
Here's a photo of an abandoned schoolhouse located on a ridge high above and south of The Dalles. I continuously marvel at how dry the climate is on the other side of the Cascades when compared to the Willamette Valley. In the Valley, structures like this rot away in a few years when left to nature. But in Central Oregon they last a century or more. This school even has the remnants of a swing-set left over. It's the kind of place where, if you actually did attend classes, you could honestly say to your kids, 'Boy, I had walk to school nine miles uphill, in snow, both ways, every day, when I was your age!'

Aadite, 9, a boy suffering from a severe neurological disorder and malnutrition, is watching cartoons while lying on a bed inside his home in Kabit Pura, near the abandoned Union Carbide (now DOW Chemical) industrial complex in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, central India, site of the infamous 1984 gas tragedy. The poisonous cloud that enveloped Bhopal left everlasting consequences that today continue to consume people's lives. Aadite's father, Raju, a 1984 gas survivor, died in March 2013 at the age of 32, due to lungs failure. Aadite now lives in a small room with his mother, Lakshmi, 29, who works six days a week as a cleaner, his two sisters Mayuri, 12, Mahag, 7, and his younger brother Anuj, 5. None of the siblings in this family is attending school or any kind of practical education.

A view of railway marshalling yards in the East False Creek Flats near downtown Vancouver.
Besides railroad use the area has educational venues, office space, restaurants, a craft brewery, art galleries, car dealerships, storage lockers, Sky-train tracks and the Rocky Mountaineer Rail-tours terminal (top left corner).
False Creek Flats is the heart of Vancouver as it is here where the transcontinental railway finally found its terminus.
FLATS HISTORY
An area long identified by transportation and commerce, the present day False Creek Flats was a muddy tidal flat on the eastern end of False Creek until the early 20th century.
A rich variation of natural features, combined with various streams cutting down the southern boundary of the area, the flats provided diverse and abundant resources for the First Nations people of the area, including some of the largest salmon and trout runs in Vancouver.
As the industrial activity of Vancouver’s resource economy filled in the downtown peninsula and the shores of False Creek, the City sought to accommodate further economic expansion and additional rail terminals.
In 1913, at the urging of a number of rail companies, the City took a plebiscite to the people of Vancouver requesting support to fill the eastern end of False Creek.
Following a favourable vote, the filing in of the Flats began in 1915 utilizing a variety of materials from nearby districts including land fill from development projects, scrap lumber and bricks from surrounding mills, general industrial waste and fill removed from the Grandview Cut that brought the railway tracks down from Grandview district.
By 1917, the Flats were completely filed in and by 1919 both the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and Canadian Northern Railway (later to merge with others to become the federally owned Canadian National) had established their new western terminals in the False Creek Flats laying the foundation for the area’s industrial future.
The area’s post-fill history is intrinsically tied to that of the railway, ensuring the area to be well served by rail (including the British Columbia Electric Railway, Canadian National Railway, Great Northern Railway and later, SkyTrain and Rockymountaineer Passenger service.
As the importance of passenger and freight rail declined, cars and trucks became the more ubiquitous transportation modes in the city, converting the once rail-dominated composition of the Eastern Core into a mix of railway and roadway-based facilities.
The present landscape features an eclectic mix of residential, commercial and industrial zones; educational and institutional facilities; warehouses and artist spaces.
Despite the area’s newfound diversity, rail and transit remain as the literal and gurative centre of the area.
The False Creek Flats currently has four main rail yards, three of which are primarily used for goods movement for the Port of Vancouver operations on the south shore of Burrard Inlet.
The rail yards include;
CN Main Yard
This yard has traditionally been used as a support yard for container traffic. Rocky Mountaineer Tours also uses Main Yard for arrival and departure from its station.
BNSF Yard
This yard generally supports barge operations at Burrard inlet (top right in the photo).
Glen Yard
This is a smaller yard used primarily for staging grain and container cars. This one is to the top left out of the photo.
VIA Rail and Amtrak use the main station off Main Street for passenger arrival and departures (off to the left of this shot).
A few minutes spent doodling what was on the desk next me. I volunteer to listen to children read aloud in the junior school where my wife works. Sometimes the children get a few minutes break while I am there so I while away the time sketching until they come back. This collection of resources caught my eye on a recent break. It is special equipment for a young man that is partially sighted and includes a Braille machine to help him learn to read as his sight is likely to deteriorate further has he ages.
