Fernando Hernández, a Hayward-based educator and artist, has exhibited surrealist mixed media sculptures throughout the Western states. In association with the East Bay Big Read of Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima, Fernando Hernández demonstrated bronze casting techniques at the Hayward Main Library on April 17, 2010. The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute for Museum and Library Services in partnership with Arts Midwest.
Fernando Hernández was born in Mexico City in 1968, and he lived in Mexico until he immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1984. 1984 is also when he first started making art in a serious manner. He has been a resident of Hayward since 1986.
Fernando Hernández received his MFA from Washington State University in Pullman in 1996 and taught ceramics at California State University until 1998, when he quit to become a freelance sculptor and educator. His mixed media sculptures, consisting of odd, surreal juxtapositions of symbolically charged elements with veiled references to genetics and science have been exhibited throughout the West Coast.
In 1998 he was awarded an Artist in Residency from the California Arts Council. He started working as an educator in local high schools teaching bronze casting and installation workshops. He has continued this work to the present day, often working through grants and in collaboration with local art organizations.
After the residency was over in 2001 he resumed his teaching career by becoming a part-time visiting lecturer teaching sculpture at Diablo Valley College. He currently teaches sculpture at Chabot College.
Starting in 1998 he redirected his artistic efforts towards installation work, often working in collaboration with other artists, students and community groups. The installations, relatively small at the beginning, became more complex over the years. His current and ongoing installation project is called The Columbarium. It is a collaborative project that involves dozens of artists and hundreds of high school and elementary school students.
Originally meant to be a one-time exhibit, Fernando Hernández and collaborating artists have evolved and exhibited The Columbarium more than six times. Although the number of participants and membership of the project fluctuates, it could be said that most participants in any given year have participated in the past. Because of this a small community of friends has evolved that come together seasonally to set up the installation. In 2002 he named this group the East Bay Art Collaborative.
Provo Police Chief Rick Gregory brought a squad of officers to volunteer to read to a student at the Read-a-Thon
Amelia Earhart Elementary School in the Provo District held its second annual Read-a-Thon on Thursday, December 8, 2011. The goal of the Read-a-Thon is to have one adult read to every child in the school for a half an hour. Parents were joined by community volunteers, including members of the school and district staff, the Provo School Board, the Provo mayor, city employees, police officers, a legislator and Utah Superintendent of Public Instruction Larry K. Shumway.
The event shows students that reading is important and their parents and members of the community care about their education. It's also an opportunity to encourage adults to take time to read to the children in their lives. The volunteers also received tips on how to read to children.
Here are the Amelia Earhart Elementary Read-Aloud Commandments:
1. Spend at least 10 wildly happy minutes every single day reading aloud.
2. Read at least three stories a day; it may be the same story three times. Children need to hear a thousand stories before they can begin to learn to read.
3. Read aloud with animation. Listen to your own voice and don't be dull, flat, or boring. Hang loose and be loud, have fun, and laugh a lot!
4. Read with joy and enjoyment; real enjoyment for yourself and great joy for the listeners.
5. Read the stories that the kids love, over and over and over again. And always read in the same "tune" for each book, with the same intonations on each page, each time.
6. Let children hear lots of language by talking to them constantly about the pictures, or anything else connected to the book; or sing any old song that you remember; or say nursery rhymes in a bouncy way; or be noisy together doing clapping games.
7. Look for rhyme, rhythm, or repetition in books for young children, and make sure the books are really short.
8. Play games with the things that you and the child see on the page, such as letting kids finish rhymes, and finding the letters that start with the child's name and yours, remembering that it's never work; it's always a fabulous game.
9. Never ever teach reading, or get tense around books.
10. Read aloud every day because you just love being with your child, not just because it's the right thing to do. This is as important for fathers as it is for mothers!
Time for my annual summary of reading from the year just past. [I've been tracking my books for 26 years -- 1,658 in all.] I read 94 books in 2018, the most in one year since 1996 and fourth most ever.
Of those 94, beginning with the children’s classic Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury (bottom row) and ending with a travel guide to Kauai (top left), 44 were fiction. That’s probably a personal record, since I usually read mostly non-fiction. My reading was partly influenced by idle time following surgery during the summer. I intentionally prepared for my leave with stacks of fiction -- mostly Agatha Christie (10) and David Baldacci (7). Christie was my father’s favorite writer and although I had seen her works made into plays and movies, I had never read any of her books myself. So this was catch-up. Baldacci I’ve read before and usually enjoy the pacing and action.
Even with 44 fiction titles, I still managed to get a variety of non-fiction into the mix. The most unexpected was one describing how to perform weddings -- something I did for my daughter in August.
Among my 2018 favorites…
Most enjoyable science book: Still Waters (the ecology of lakes). Four favorite histories: Lincoln’s Last Trial, Rise and Fall of Alexandria, Three Days in Moscow, and the civil rights graphic trilogy March. Three most interesting non-fiction reads: Grocery (about the history, economics, and operations of a modern supermarket), Smart Fat (about nutrition), and Never Lost Again (about the creation and development of Google Maps and Google Earth). Most laughs: Springfield Confidential. (Yes, I’m still laughing about the Texas Cheesecake Depository.) Most enjoyable kids book (and most emotional read of the year due to nostalgia): Winnie the Pooh. I read all three original Pooh books in 2018. I also enjoyed Secret of the Sealed Room, a young Ben Franklin-based kid’s mystery fiction. I read a second Franklin-inspired kid’s book (Ben Franklin’s in My Bathroom) which was just plain goofy. Most enjoyable sci-fi: Arthur C Clarke’s Rama. Most enjoyable mystery: Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
I read (or re-read) several adult classics this year by such lofty authors as Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson, Mark Twain, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Jules Verne, and Thomas Hardy, but none of them clicked for me. I read only two Northwest books. That’s VERY unusual for me. Of those, the most interesting was Oregon’s Manila Galleon about the fabled Beeswax Wreck on the Oregon Coast.

I had read about the new RSPB reserve opening and decided to take a look. It opened on the 25th of May. When we arrived there were only 2-3 cars. The visitor centre overlooked a lake, stunningly bleak view but with no birds to be seen. No birds and no people yet the RSPB staff and volunteers appeared were so cheery and optimistic. Once out onto the reserve and onto the hilltop you get a beautiful view of the reserve and hear the sound of Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Blackcaps and Whitethroats. When you descend you see the birds and also hear them. I would recommend it as a place to visit. I was very impressed!

St Aidan's is a perfect place to get close to nature and relax, unwind or exercise in a stress-free environment. Just outside Leeds on the banks of the River Aire, it's a big new space to walk, run, cycle, or ride your horse and enjoy the wildlife that surrounds you.
It has a wide range of wild plants and animals, and is home to thousands of birds, brown hares, roe deer, wild flowers and insects - all living in a stunning landscape of vast reedbeds, grassland, woodland, lakes, ponds and islands.
With a variety of circular paths of varying lengths and large areas of open grassland, St Aidan’s is a great place for families to enjoy the outdoors, share a picnic and play together.
Over 7.5 miles (12 km) of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes connect the surrounding communities, with links to national footpath and cycle networks. St Aidan's is a fantastic place for locals wishing to explore the wider countryside or as a destination for people who love nature.
Opening times
St Aidan's is an open access site. Opening times apply to the visitor centre and car park. From March-October they're open from 9.30 am to 5 pm. From September-February it's 9.30 am to 4 pm. They're closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Entrance charges
Entry to the site is free but donations to help us continue our work are welcome. There is a car park charge of £2.50 per car for RSPB non-members. RSPB members and disabled badge holders park for free.
Information for dog owners
Dogs are allowed on the reserve as long as they are kept on a lead in the appropriate designated zones. There are some less sensitive areas within St Aidan's where dogs are allowed off the lead. Please check with staff before letting dogs off the lead.
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Bittern
Bitterns are brown, secretive herons, camouflaged to hide amongst reeds. Visit in spring to hear male bitterns 'booming' or summer to watch the parents making feeding flights.
Great crested grebe
Watch the amazing courtship ritual of great crested grebes on the open water in spring. You may see pairs performing their 'weed dance' when they present one another with weed and patter across the surface of the water together.
Little owl
You may be lucky enough to find one of these compact owls perched in a tree or on a fencepost. They become very active at dusk and you may hear their shrill calls.
Marsh harrier
Look for marsh harriers gliding over the reedbed with their wings held upwards in a shallow 'v'. In spring, pairs perform their breathtaking 'skydancing' displays high in the sky.
Skylark
Spring visits will be enriched by the beautiful song of skylarks. They rise up into the air from the grassland until they are barely visible and only their song can be heard
www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/s/staidans/seasonal_highli...
Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Look out for marsh harriers displaying over the reedbeds, great crested grebes performing their elaborate courtship dances and returning swallows skimming low over the water and grasslands as they collect insects. Listen out for skylarks filling the air with their song, the deep booming of male bitterns, male snipe 'drumming' as they vibrate their tail feathers to attract females and lapwings calling as they perform their aerobatic displays. Enjoy the fusion of colour as wildflowers burst into bloom and a host of brightly-coloured butterflies and dragonflies take to the wing. Spring is also a great time to see kestrels. You can often see several hovering around the site at the same time as they hunt for voles in the grassland. Kestrels have also been seen nesting in the huge dragline.
Summer
Watch overhead for herons and little egrets dropping into the reeds to feed, female bitterns flying low over the reedbeds as they seek out food for their chicks or marsh harriers passing food to each other in flight. Keep an eye on the open water for lines of young ducklings paddling along behind their parents or young great crested grebes riding around on their parents' backs and admire the abundant lilypads on the lakes. Stoats, weasels and water voles are often seen at this time of year as are basking butterflies and dragonflies hawking the waters edge. Thousands of black-headed gulls set up a colony at this time of the year filling the air with their calls. Summer is the best time to spot the elusive black necked grebe as it will have its fluffy youngsters in tow. Avocets also nest at this time of year. St Aidan’s is a good place to spot this iconic bird that is the logo of the RSPB.
Autumn
Autumn sees the arrival of migrant birds, such as black-tailed godwits, ruffs and green sandpipers. Local birdwatchers will also spot a few rarities such as spoonbills and pectoral sandpipers. Huge flocks of lapwings arrive to spend winter with us and can be seen around pool edges and on grassland. Short-eared owls hunt over the reedbeds and our winter wildfowl begin to arrive. Look out for flashes of blue as kingfishers flit up and down the river.
Winter
Waders and wildfowl such as lapwings, curlews, wigeons, teals, shovelers and goldeneyes gather in big numbers, roosting and feeding across the grasslands and pools. Water rails can be spotted feeding on frozen pools, or you can listen out for their strange, pig-like squealing! The elusive bittern is also drawn out into the open at times. One of the most awesome spectacles in winter is seeing massive flocks of roosting birds panic and fly into the air as peregrines hunt over the site. Look and listen out for overwintering stonechats. Their calls sound like two pebbles being knocked together!

Kids and their families enjoyed meeting celebrated writer and poet Gary Soto as part of the East Bay Big Read of Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya.
Born in Fresno, California, to Mexican American parents, Gary Soto learned the hard work ethic through his share of chores, including mowing lawns, picking grapes, painting house numbers on street curbs, and washing cars. His hard work paid off at California State University at Fresno, from which he graduated with an English degree, and later at the University of California at Irvine, where he earned a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. Gary Soto is an acclaimed poet, essayist, and fiction writer. The awards for this multi-talented author are many, ranging from the U.S. Award for International Poetry Forum in 1977 for his first published book of poetry, The Elements of San Joaquin, to a Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award in 1985 for Living Up the Street, his first published work of prose recollections. His short story collection Baseball in April, was named an American Library Association's Best Book for Young Adults. In 1993 Gary Soto received the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video for Pool Party, and in 1995 he was nominated for a National Book Award. His other credits include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the California Arts Council. Gary Soto is also one of the youngest poets to appear in the Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry. Several of his books have been translated into French, Spanish and Italian. Too Many Tamales was named a Booklist Books for Youth Editors' Choices of 1993. Hazel Rochman of Booklist said, "Gary Soto is an accomplished poet and adult writer, and his children's stories are widely popular. His first entry into the picture book genre is a joyful success."
When he is not writing, Mr. Soto serves as a volunteer English teacher at his church. He also enjoys eating at new restaurants, which he does often with his wife, Carolyn, and their daughter Mariko. Other members of the Soto household include their two cats, Corky and Sharkie. The Soto family resides in Berkeley, California.

the top red paper says Stereopticon and Et al...and the bottom one reads..the fish just swam by...the eye was a trial eye...the i phone points out how time changes the way we look at things, the creamer is there because I liked it and the 4th of July big Hat on Kim is a memory of past good times. All the rest you may spy, is secret stuff from the cobwebs of my mind. I see when you click on it you see it bigger than life size...didn't know that..
We received the CAFCASS report after Paige was interviewed, to find out her true wishes as to seeing her Dad, our son. Unfortunately, despite the desperation she showed us, in wanting to see her Dad, she succumbed to the intense brain-washing and emotional blackmail put upon her, by her mother, and told CAFCASS in the strongest and most cruel terms, that she wants nothing to do with her Father, for good. She is changing her surname, as to that of her Step-dad, and doesn't want even letters or gifts from her father. He has not yet read this, but intends to tomorrow, when he has a 2 day break from work.If he reads it, I am petrified of what he will do, as he lives purely for his daughter.Throughout the statement, Paige has used statements that we either have in text form from her mother, or Paige has told us that other people have said. It is so clear that she is repeating what her mother has told er to say, and some of the things are so clearly not what a 9 year-old little girl would say! Added complete untruths, such as, "I remember times waiting for him to arrive when he didn't turn up"! That has NEVER happened! Not even once! The mother has told her that old cliché, to make it look so bad. She even says that we, her grandparents, tell her lies about "Karl" to male her think he is good. She has told us that her mother "tells a lot of lies you know!" Yes, we know all to well! Trouble is, people are so convinced by her. After all, who has told Paige that what WE say, is lies? Who is trying to convince Paige that her Dad is NOT good? It is quite obvious for anyone to see, the mothers unrelenting pressure! Apparently, every time direct contact with her Father was mentioned, Paige became tearful, and said about bad things that her Dad had "done"! Does it take an expert to see that Paige becomes tearful at those times, because she is battling what SHE herself wants and feels, with not wanting to upset her mother!The mother has done a number! The "expert" claimed that it was distressing to see that although Paige has not seen her Father for nearly 3 years, a third of her life, the "experiences" were still so raw and distressing to her, that it was very concerning! DERRRRRR! Don't you get it woman????!!!! It is because the mother has spent the previous 6 weeks inventing these events and describing minute details of pain, tears and suffering, in very very many tears and emotions, to impress upon Paige that she must never ever want anything to do with her Father, ever again, if she really loves her mother, that is! Well of course she does! It is her mother! It is just a shame that the mother does not love and care for her daughter and her needs and feelings, as much as Paige does her mother! Of course, Paige has to live with her mother, and everybody else that is anti her Dad! The only ones able to give a positive input about her Dad, are us! She said she wants to still see us, but as long as we never mention "Karl", or text or phone him while with her. She has hand-written a letter to the court saying," I do not want to see Karl but I will see Kim and Danny but I don't want Kim to Text or phone him. Also, I would like them to base the day on me and save up a bit of money and let me choose something." Signed Paige Smith, with Smith underlined. Paige is always delighted with little presents we buy her and is so appreciative, but coincidently, the last time we saw Paige, in February, the Mother texted us very nastily, that we must save the money we spend on "Random things that we haven't put any thought into" for Paige and either buy her a DS game, or take her to a toy shop and let her choose something. We buy LITTLE gifts that we can afford, out of our hearts! We see something, and think, Paige would love that, and get it for her! We are not NOT going to work on those rules! It costs between a hundred and fifty, and 2 hundred pounds every time we go to visit Paige! We leave home at 4.00 a.m to pick her by 10.00 a.m have 8 hours with her, then drop her back at 6.00 p.m, and drive straight back here in North Wales to arrive back here going on for midnight! And we don't base the day around her?????!!!!!We are very caught at the moment as to whether to continue a relationship with even Paige. Why put our heart and souls into something that is treated so ungratefully?! OR!!! Has Paige said everything that she knows will please her Mother, and kept home life sweet and undisturbed, knowing that she could still gain some sort of contact with her Dad, through seeing us?
I haven't read books for a long time,internet used to be my main information source. But now I fond that there is so much useless information on the net and it is difficult focus my attention. After reading some books, i found that it is the really best way to get the information i need,
everyonde should learn some knowledge of economoics, so the book is one which I eager to read.
is a green book, everyone shoud pay attention on our environment.
Ok, reading and shooting.
不读书已经很多年了，获取信息的方式都是依靠网络，最近逐渐发现网络上冗余信息太多，而且很容易分散精力。而读了几本书，心里面静了很多，获取的知识理解的也比较深刻。于是最近狂买书，也尽量使自己耐心的去读。
先说《经济学原理》这一套，是我一直都想读的书，作为一个工科学生，我始终坚信：每个人都应该学习经济学。终于现在有机会也有点时间来真正的了解一下经济学到底是什么，希望这个寒假能感受一下经济学的魅力。
《杜拉拉升职记》是一本不错的书，但是感觉买书读就有点浪费了，在网络上随便读读就不错了。所以我决定将此书广泛借阅，榨取它所有的剩余价值：）
《没有我们的世界》是一部算是科幻小说的作品，评价不错，刚刚看了序，应该是一本不错的书。在豆瓣上有个豆列把它列为绿色书籍，跟环保有关。
ok，安心读书，学习摄影，我的生活。

Synopsis
Mega roller coasters of today reach heights of over 400 feet and speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Roller coasters towering taller than a certain height are terrifying for many individuals but it would be boring to simply make a list of the world’s tallest coasters. As a result, most of the bone-chilling machines in this list do not use sheer height to terrify, but instead prey on our fears and emotions in other, more creative ways. One element alone may not make a ride terrifying but the sum of all of its parts does. What factors make a roller coaster terrifying? Height, speed, inversions, backwards segments, unique track elements, darkness, and unexpected surprises all contribute to making your head spin and your knees tremble. Where are the most terrifying roller coasters found? Who designs them? Which park builds the craziest rides? Find ou

I went to Target yesterday and FINALLY got Paper Towns! Yay! And today during school I already read 150 pages of it... wohoo! Tried really hard not to laugh out loud at many things. Eek, real hard. And Melissa picked up my camera from the post office yesterday and took it with her when she picked up from school. The shutter was jammed at first but after love taps it started to work, haha!! Yes, that's how I fix everything. BUT YAY! It works.
