African American Family From Fresno Feels the Bite of $7 Arboretum (Botanical Garden) Fees
On July 16 2013, SF Supervisors voted 8 to 3 to institute permanent fees at the Arboretum and approved a 30-year privatization contract with the San Francisco Botanical Garden Society.
So take a stand! Call for a repeal of the fees and bad contract!
Call Malia Cohen (415-554-7670; Malia.Cohen@sfgov.org), London Breed (415-554-7630; London.Breed@sfgov.org), Mark Farrell (415-554-7752; Mark.Farrell@sfgov.org), John Avalos (415-554-6975; John.Avalos@sfgov.org), David Campos (415-554-5144; David.Campos@sfgov.org), David Chiu (415-554-7450; David.Chiu@sfgov.org), Katie Tang (415-554-7460;Katie.Tang@sfgov.org),Jane Kim (415-554-7970; Jane.Kim@sfgov.org),Scott Wiener (415-554-6968; Scott.Wiener@sfgov.org), Norman Yee (415-554-6516, Norman.Yee@sfgov.org), or Eric Mar (554-7410, Eric.L.Mar@sfgov.org.
The two Black Supervisors, London Breed and Malia Cohen, are likely to vote for both the permanent fees and the horrible contract, which gives free rent and utilities to the elitist San Francisco Botanical Garden Society and allows them to construct a $15-million fenced-in building on the grounds.
Although millions of dollars of State Tax Bond funds have been spent by the San Francisco Botanical Garden Society, State residents visiting San Francisco must cough up an extortionate $7 per person ($15 per family), unless they can show proof of San Francisco residency.
These fees are outragous and must go!
The City needs to reclaim these gardens from the San Francisco Botanical Garden Society.
What is even worse is that they are planning a fenced-in office building, nursery and growing grounds. This must be stopped!

Our Return To Kauffman Gardens in Kansas City, Missouri ~ July 19th, 2012... w/ The Good Sam Club
Return To Kauffman Gardens in Kansas City Missouri ~ July 19th, 2012... w/ The Good Sam Club.....Kauffman Legacy Park encompasses thirty-seven acres near the Country Club Plaza in the heart of the Brush Creek Corridor, a six-square-mile area in Kansas City, Missouri's midtown dedicated to the development of a world-class cultural and research district surrounded by healthy neighborhoods.
Three separate but adjacent areas comprise Kauffman Legacy Park: the offices of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation with adjoining Kauffman Conference Center, the Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden, and the Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center.
Together, the offices of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Kauffman Conference Center total an expansive 138,000 square feet. The building, designed originally by Kallman McKinnell & Wood Architects of Boston, opened in January 1999 and was updated in 2008 by 360 Architecture of Kansas City. Merging advanced conference facilities and the latest technology with pleasing amenities and a welcoming atmosphere, the Kauffman Conference Center has 65,000 visitors per year. This superb site can accommodate up to 220 persons per event with 40,000 square feet of meeting space—ideal for thought leaders from around the world to share innovative thinking and engage in dialogue with a broad audience.
The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden is an exquisite area of Kauffman Legacy Park across Rockhill featuring bronze sculptures by Tom Corbin among lush and colorful annual and perennial plantings, pruned foliage framed by stone walls and playful fountains inspired by the Kauffmans' world travels. Comparable to parks across Europe, this beautiful and contemplative space in all seasons is the gravesite of the late Ewing and Muriel Kauffman.
The Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center building, east of the Kauffman Foundation building and facing Troost Ave., is surrounded by ten acres of gardens, wetlands, walkways, and wildlife. The Discover Center focuses its educational programs on helping urban children and adults appreciate the bounty and beauty of nature, and learn outdoor skills such as hiking, camping, wildlife viewing and growing native plants. The building also houses information and outreach services of the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Driving Downtown - Nashville 4K - USA
Driving Downtown Streets - Broadway - Nashville Tennessee USA - Episode 44.
Starting Point: Broadway - .
Broadway is major thoroughfare in Nashville, Tennessee. It includes Lower Broadway, a renowned entertainment district for country music.
Landmarks
Lower Broadway consists of Broadway between First and Fifth avenues. Its features include the Bridgestone Arena, the Nashville Convention Center and various honky tonk bars, including Robert's Western World and Tootsie's Orchid Lounge.[2] The Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum are both within one block of this area. Lower Broadway is a particularly crowded place during the annual CMA Music Festival.
Nashville is the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee and the county seat of Davidson County. The city is a center for the music, healthcare, publishing, banking and transportation industries, and is home to numerous colleges and universities. Reflecting the city's position in state government, Nashville is home to the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for Middle Tennessee. It is known as a center of the country music industry, earning it the nickname Music City U.S.A.
Tourism
Perhaps the biggest factor in drawing visitors to Nashville is its association with country music. Many visitors to Nashville attend live performances of the Grand Ole Opry, the world's longest running live radio show. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is another major attraction relating to the popularity of country music. The Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, the Opry Mills regional shopping mall and the General Jackson showboat, are all located in what is known as Music Valley.
Nashville has several arts centers and museums, including the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, the Tennessee State Museum, the Johnny Cash Museum, Fisk University's Van Vechten and Aaron Douglas Galleries, Vanderbilt University's Fine Art Gallery and Sarratt Gallery, and the full-scale replica of the Parthenon.
Economy
As the home of country music, Nashville has become a major music recording and production center. All of the Big Four record labels, as well as numerous independent labels, have offices in Nashville, mostly in the Music Row area.[44] Nashville has been home to the headquarters of guitar company Gibson since 1984. Since the 1960s, Nashville has been the second-largest music production center (after New York) in the U.S.[45] As of 2006, Nashville's music industry is estimated to have a total economic impact of $6.4 billion per year and to contribute 19,000 jobs to the Nashville area.[46]
Although Nashville is renowned as a music recording center and tourist destination, its largest industry is health care. Nashville is home to more than 300 health care companies, including Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the largest private operator of hospitals in the world.
The automotive industry is also becoming increasingly important for the entire Middle Tennessee region. Nissan North America moved its corporate headquarters in 2006 from Gardena, California (Los Angeles County) to Franklin, southwest of Nashville. Nissan also has its largest North American manufacturing plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. Largely as a result of the increased development of Nissan and other Japanese economic interests in the region, Japan moved its former New Orleans consulate-general to Nashville's Palmer Plaza.
Bridgestone has a strong presence with their North American headquarters located in Nashville, with manufacturing plants and a distribution center in nearby counties.
Other major industries in Nashville include insurance, finance, and publishing (especially religious publishing). The city hosts headquarters operations for several Protestant denominations, including the United Methodist Church, Southern Baptist Convention, National Baptist Convention USA, and the National Association of Free Will Baptists.
Nashville is also known for some of their famously popular Southern confections, including Goo Goo Clusters (which have been made in Nashville since 1912).[50]
Fortune 500 companies with offices within Nashville include Dell,[51] HCA, Bridgestone, Community Health Systems, Nissan North America, Tractor Supply Company, UBS and Dollar General.
Magic Mushrooms (Episode 2 - A Trip Through the Garden - A Short Guide to Plant-based Substances)
This video was created for workers in the youth, alcohol and other drug sector (NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION).
Magic mushrooms are hallucinogenic mushrooms that occur naturally in the environment. In Queensland, the two most common species of magic mushrooms are Psilocybe cubensis (“gold tops”) and Copelandia Cyanescens (“blue meanies”), and they appear during the summer months following heavy rain. In this video, Dovetail’s own Cameron Francis explains these two species of mushroom, and describes some of the effects of the active ingredient – psilocybin, as well as some of the potential risks associated with the use of magic mushrooms.

In 1954, representatives of several Medford groups (including the Fruit Grower's League, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants Association, American Legion and the school district) met to initiate an event during the spring blossom season. They decided to have a children's' parade. A five-year-old, Miss Blossom, was chosen to reign over the 10 floats.
There were 100 floats in the parade by 1956, and the festival included a 30-mile tour of the valley's blooming orchards. Since 1957, children have been chosen festival King and Queen. Motorized floats were allowed in the parade in 1964. Pear Blossom Festival parade marshals have included Governor Holmes (1957), John F. Kennedy (1960), and Frank Shorter (1977) who led over 650 participants in the festival's first annual mini-marathon.
LITHIA COMMONS HOSTS PEAR BLOSSOM FESTIVAL 2013 MEDFORD OREGON
Current parade entrants number over 150 with over 5,000 participants. The festival now includes a number of other activities besides the parade; A baby contest, Junior Royalty Pageant, Senior Royalty Scholarship Pageant, the Run, a Street Fair and a Stamp Show.
We are excited to announce that our new home will be in the Commons Park Blocks. The planning efforts have included the Heart of Medford Association, City of Medford, Parks and Recreation and Lithia Motors. This exciting new footprint will be our permanent location. This new venue offers us room to grow, added electricity for vendors and patrons, smoother load in -- load out for vendors, reduced disruption to local business and traffic as well as added safety features for pedestrian traffic.

SUMMARY
=======
Ecosystem services are the many and varied benefits that humans freely gain from the natural environment and from properly-functioning ecosystems. Such ecosystems include, for example, agroecosystems, forest ecosystems, grassland ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystems functioning properly provides such things like agricultural produce, timber, and aquatic organisms such as fishes and crabs. Collectively, these benefits are becoming known as 'ecosystem services', and are often integral to the provisioning of clean drinking water, the decomposition of wastes, and the natural pollination of crops and other plants.
While scientists and environmentalists have discussed ecosystem services implicitly for decades, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) in the early 2000s popularized this concept . There, ecosystem services are grouped into four broad categories: provisioning, such as the production of food and water; regulating, such as the control of climate and disease; supporting, such as nutrient cycles and oxygen production; and cultural, such as spiritual and recreational benefits. To help inform decision-makers, many ecosystem services are being assigned economic values.

Located in the easternmost part of New England, Maine is bordered by Canada to the north and the Atlantic Ocean on both the east and south. Maine accounts for almost half of New England’s entire land area. Its northern reaches, known as The Great North Woods, are largely pristine wilderness while the coastal regions, supported over the years by fishing and tourism, are more heavily populated.
While the state is most frequently known for its rugged coastline and proliferation of lighthouses, Maine also has much more to offer. Here, visitors will discover national parks with boundless wildlife as the Thunder Hole. Charming historic towns, perfect examples of quaint little fishing villages, as Bass Harbor, located on Mount Desert Island - home of a large portion of Acadia National Park.

SUMMARY
=======
Sacramento ( SAK-rə-MEN-toh; Spanish: [sakɾaˈmento]) is the capital city of the U.S. state of California and the seat of Sacramento County. Located at the confluence of the Sacramento River and the American River in Northern California's Sacramento Valley, Sacramento's estimated 2018 population of 501,334 makes it the sixth-largest city in California and the 9th largest capital in the United States. Sacramento is the seat of the California Assembly, the Governor of California, and Supreme Court of California, making it the state's political center and a hub for lobbying and think tanks. Sacramento is also the cultural and economic core of the Sacramento metropolitan area, which had 2010 population of 2,414,783, making it the fifth largest in California.Sacramento is the fastest-growing major city in California, owing to its status as notable financial center on the West Coast and as a major educational hub, home of Sacramento State University and University of California, Davis. Similarly, Sacramento is a major center for the California healthcare industry, as the seat of Sutter Health, the world-renowned UC Davis Medical Center, and the UC Davis School of Medicine, and notable tourist destination in California, as the site of The California Museum, the Crocker Art Museum, California Hall of Fame, the California State Capitol Museum, and the Old Sacramento State Historic Park. Sacramento is known for its evolving contemporary culture, dubbed the most hipster city in California. In 2002, the Harvard University Civil Rights Project conducted for Time magazine named Sacramento America's Most Diverse City.Before the arrival of the Spanish, the area was inhabited by the Nisenan people indigenous peoples of California. Spanish cavalryman Gabriel Moraga named surveyed and named the Rio del Santísimo Sacramento (Sacramento River) in 1808, after the Blessed Sacrament, referring to the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. In 1839, Juan Bautista Alvarado, Mexican governor of Alta California granted the responsibility of colonizing the Sacramento Valley to Swiss-born, Mexican citizen John Augustus Sutter, who subsequently established Sutter's Fort and the settlement at the Rancho Nueva Helvetia. Following the American Conquest of California and the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, the waterfront developed by Sutter began to be developed and incorporated in 1850 as the City of Sacramento. As a result of the California Gold Rush, Sacramento became a major commercial center and distribution point for Northern California, serving as the terminus for the Pony Express and the First Transcontinental Railroad.

Newton Harrison, 4/9/19 - SAIC’s Visiting Artists Program Lecture
Newton Harrison, along with his late wife Helen Mayer Harrison, are among the leading pioneers of the eco art movement. They are often referred to simply as “the Harrisons” due to their profound work as a collaborative team. They worked for almost 40 years together with biologists, ecologists, architects, urban planners and other artists, initiating collaborative dialogues to uncover ideas and solutions which support biodiversity and community development. The Harrisons’ concept of art embraces a breathtaking range of disciplines; serving as historians, diplomats, ecologists, investigators, emissaries, and art activists. Their work involves proposing solutions and involves not only public discussion, but extensive mapping and documentation of these proposals in an art context.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Charles Linza McNary (June 12, 1874 – February 25, 1944) was a United States Republican politician from Oregon. He served in the Senate from 1917 to 1944 and was Senate Minority Leader from 1933 to 1944. In the Senate, McNary helped to pass legislation that led to the construction of Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River, and worked on agricultural and forestry issues. He also supported many of the New Deal programs at the beginning of the Great Depression. Until Mark O. Hatfield surpassed his mark in 1993, he was Oregon's longest-serving senator.
McNary was the Republican vice presidential candidate in 1940, on the ticket with presidential candidate Wendell Willkie; both died in 1944, during what would have been their first term had they won. They lost to the Democratic ticket, composed of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was running for his third term as president, and Henry A. Wallace in a landslide. McNary was a justice of the Oregon Supreme Court from 1913 to 1915 and was dean of Willamette University College of Law, in his hometown of Salem, from 1908 to 1913. Before that, he was a deputy district attorney under his brother, John Hugh McNary, who later became a federal judge for the District of Oregon.
McNary died in office after unsuccessful surgery on a brain tumor. Oregon held a state funeral for him, during which his body lay in state at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem. McNary Dam, McNary Field, McNary High School, and McNary Country Club (on land he owned) in Oregon are named in his honor. He is currently the longest serving Senate Minority Leader.
