August 2020 Monthly Planner This summer, our children have played outside every evening until sundown. It is truly a wonderful thing. Riding their bikes, catching lightening bugs to put in a jar, dancing to the drumming of the cicadas and general imaginative play consume their daily moments up until daylight fades to night. But there is something about Caulder’s play that has caught my attention. The Preschool opened up on The other day, as he was coming in from a long time outside playing, I noticed his July 13th for our first summer fingernails. There was dirt under them. You can picture it: dirt caked up under his session. It was so good to see nails that makes the dark line visible from a distance. The kind of dirt that is not those smiling faces and to hear going to come out simply by washing his hands, we would have to clip his fingernails all the laughter. We sure have to get them clean. Like playing outside until sundown, this is not a bad thing. I love to missed our children! see it! Things have gone well during our re-opening. We are working But I got to thinking about it. I knew exactly what he had been doing to cause such hard to keep the children, their dirt to rest up under those nails. He was digging in the dirt. I knew the spot where families and our staff safe and he’d been playing. I knew the toys with which he’d been playing. I knew the “game” healthy. he’d been playing. How? Because I had seen him in that spot with those toys playing that game so many times. He was in a spot beside the driveway that has no grass and This has been a challenge; he had his dumptruck and tractor, just digging in the dirt. I knew where he’d been and however, but it has clearly been what he’d been doing by the evidence on his hands. And when I asked him about it, worth it to get these children his response was, “Dad…I always play in the dirt with my dumptruck!” back to some kind of a normal life. We will be closed for the The evidence of our lives is easy to see. Where we have been and what we have been next week for our staff to take doing always rise to the surface of our souls. It caused me to think about the evidence a rest. We will open again on of being in the presence of God. There is no way to be with the Lord and come away August 3rd. unchanged. There is always evidence of being with God. For Moses, it was his We are preparing for opening in glowing face – radiating the glory of God. For Peter, it is the miraculous power of September.

Thank you again for the Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, your prayers for our staff and and self-control – emanates from our lives like the sweet aroma of fresh fruit. In all of the children. these instances, it is undeniable what has been happening. It has caused me to ask myself, “what evidence is in my life that I have been with Jesus?” I am convinced that the more we are with Jesus, the more time we devote to Food Pantry drawing closer to Jesus, the deeper we talk with Jesus, the clearer the evidence Needs becomes.

Summary Outline of Evaluation Findings Hudson Highlands Nature Museum (HHNM) Early Childhood Action in Nature Program (ECAN) IMLS Grant - Year 2 (2016) Prepared by PEER Associates, January 2017 Program Description The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum’s (HHNM) two-year Early Childhood Action in Nature (ECAN) Project promotes the value of frequent, unstructured play in natural outdoor settings (Nature Play) for young children. The two mid-Hudson Valley target audiences include: 1) teachers and children in Early Childhood Programs (ECPs) (preschool and daycare programs for 3-5 year olds); and 2) parents, grandparents, and caregivers from the general public and their preschool-aged children whom they bring to Grasshopper Grove. Project goals are as follows: 1) Nature Play opportunities will become part of the practice of many ECPs in the mid-Hudson Valley; 2) Parents of young children will recognize Nature Play as a valuable part of their child’s development; 3) More children will develop a love of nature and a desire to care for it; 4) A community of parents and teachers who appreciate Nature Play will develop and share experiences and opportunities among themselves and with others; and 5) HHNM will share findings among educators in the ​ field with the goal of helping them learn from their experience and to promote Nature Play.

Philibert Whenever I mention that I want to be an archaeologist, people tend to conjure up images of Indiana Jones and his crazy adventures or, even worse, dinosaur bones. Both images are wrong. It would be fun to be the next Indiana Jones, but that is a popularized view of archaeology, and many real-life archaeologists cringe when they watch his movies. This is mainly because he fails to properly excavate his finds and simply grabs the “treasure” and runs. The other misconception, dinosaur bones, involves an entirely different field, paleontology, which is the study of fossils. Archaeology, another subdivision of anthropology, involves the scientific study of past human societies, including their artifacts and other remains often found buried in the dirt.

  • The Phonographic Staging of the Popular Music Voice
    Serge Lacasse Persona, emotions and technology: the phonographic staging of the popular music voice Introduction On October 30th of 2002, George Graham (2002) broadcasted his 1300th album review on WVIA-FM, a Pennsylvanian public radio station. As a preamble to my paper, I would like to play you a few excerpts from this review: This is weekly album review number 1300, and I thought I would try something a little different in my approach. Our subject is Peter Gabriel’s new CD Up, which was released in September [2002], and has already received a good deal of press and quite a few reviews, generally quite favorable. […] I thought that this time, I would focus this review almost entirely on a facet that we usually touch on only briefly each week, the sonic qualities of the recording. […] It has been a decade since Gabriel released his last studio album. Since then, there has been a lot of sonic experimentation going on especially in the alternative rock field, with loops and samples of pre-recorded sounds, heavily distorted and altered treatments of various instruments and vocals, and a sort of intentionally “lo-fi” approach. […] Gabriel adopts these techniques, but not to be trendy, or as the alternative rockers and commercial pop artists do, just to be louder and more in- your-face. Instead Gabriel’s Up has, I think, probably the most effective use of these techniques I have heard for musical emphasis […]. It all creates a kind of alternate sound environment, at times ethereal, at other times unnerving or disorienting. […] It reaches the point that the sonic presentation becomes as important as the underlying material.

  • Populärkulturens Utveckling, Kompendium (2)
    1970 På sjuttiotalet insåg man att det var nödvändigt att det fanns en gräns för exempelvis energiresurser och droganvändning. Därför kallas ibland sjuttiotalet för sextiotalets baksmälla. Starka politiska diskussioner växte fram om allt möjligt: feminism, miljöpolitik, sociala reformer osv. Politiken kom även att influera klädmodet en hel del vid denna period. Många upptäckte nämligen att kläder var ett värdefullt verktyg för att uttrycka sina åsikter på. Kvinnorörelserna brände sina Bh:ar och klädde sig i kostym. Amerikanska fredsdemonstranter bar militärjackor och kommunisterna bar arbetarkläder. Alla människor hade en åsikt, och därför skapades stilar där ens värderingar lyste igenom. Detta insåg även de stora designermärkena, och började därför använda detta i sina kollektioner. Under sjuttiotalet insåg många klädtillverkare att det var mycket billigare att producera sina kläder i asiatiska utvecklingsländer, och sedan sälja dem i sina egna länder. I Sverige hade vi tidigare stora klädföretag som t.ex. Algots som länge hade tillverkat och sålt sina kläder men som nu fick de läggas ner. Flytten av klädindustrin till U-länderna pressade ner priserna på kläder eftersom det var billigare att tillverka där, vilket också gjorde att det blev lättare att få tag på. Det ledde i sin tur till att fler sorters klädesplagg och stilar blev populära och folk kunde lättare skapa en personlig stil. Kortfakta 13 februari: En männniskoätande tiger uppges ha dödat 48 personer, bara 80 km från New Delhi, Indien. 3 april: En engelsk kvinna, Miriam Hargrave, klarar sitt körprov på sitt 40:e försök. Ett par naturkatastrofer inträffade, några jordbävningar. Cyklonen Bhola är det inofficiella namnet på en ovanligt destruktiv tropisk cyklon som i november 1970 drabbade Östpakistan (nuvarande Bangladesh).
