Addressing the critical need to finance infrastructure in Africa is a core theme at the United Nation’s Third International Conference on Financing for Development in Ethiopia. To support these efforts to improve power generation and access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, Secretary of Treasury Jacob J. Lew, and European Union (EU) Commissioner Neven Mimica today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance coordination between the EU and Power Africa that will deepen their ongoing long-term engagement with partner countries and the private sector to assist developing countries increase access to electricity for over 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa.

Volunteers Needed!: Fall Bread and Cheese Creek Cleanup on September 12th!
Saturday September 12th is just right around the corner! Won’t you please volunteer a little of your time from 8 am until 2 pm for the Fall Bread and Cheese Creek Cleanup? For our 5th year in a row, we will be running this cleanup in conjunction with the Ocean Conservancy's Annual International Coastal Cleanup! We will be targeting the area of the stream from the Berkshire Community to North Point Road! Volunteers of all ages and abilities are needed! Help us remove the trash before it flows into Back River, the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean! Every piece of trash removed is a small victory to be celebrated!
We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we need 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 help at registration, setup food and snacks 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. We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them.
Since this cleanup covers almost four miles of stream we are always in desperate need of individuals with trucks, jeeps and ATV’s wiling to haul trash from extraction points to the dumpsters.
Registration will be at 2408 Plainfield Road, Dundalk , Maryland, 21222 and will open at 7:00 am and we will enter the stream at 8:00 am after a brief orientation
Community Service and Service Learning Hours are available as well!
We are also looking for photographer/videographer volunteers to help us document our cleanup as well
Registration will open at 7:00 am and we will enter the stream at 8:00 am after a brief orientation!

It's so sunny today. All of the photos came out a little contrasty. I really need to work on my photo editing skills.
The pattern should be ready in about a week.
While waiting for snow to fall, the world is gray, even the ice. So I'm treating our eyes to some COLOR!
I need a break from photos of snow and ice! It's nice to see hibiscus for a change.
The picture was taken at San Diego Zoo.

Practice storytelling today. Look for 3 images that tell a story, and make a set of photos that go together. www.todaysposting.com/TPAssignment.php?TP=258
At least irrigation is not needed at this point in time. I am sure at some point during the summer months, it will be again.
Flickr is such a wonderful place for learning. I learned something posting this photo. Although I've seen these irrigation systems at Scioto River Valley farms, I never knew what they were called or how they worked. So, I looked it up on the internet and learned the systems are called "center pivot" among other names.

That would explain why I saw circles from the air when I was flying from Ohio to Washington State with a layover in Denver, Colorado. I've included a shot in the comments section of this photo for that example. This also reminds me that I have a lot of really cool shots out the airplane window that I never uploaded.
