Scarborough Maine Marsh via Kayak Time Lapse
Time lapse video from a camcorder mounted on a Kayak- the jitter is due to the fact that my kayak has no out-rigging to keep it from rolling side to side when paddling. This sequence was taken in late September of 2008 in the Scarborough Marsh SM.
The Audubon society runs a station along the SM where you can rent canoes and kayaks, although late in the season you have to bring your own. The SM has a large tidal variation which results in some currents, but for most this is a safe venture. Birdwatchers flock to the SM to view the large variety of species. Low tide is best for birdwatching.

Flatwater Kayaking In Maine
Flatwater Kayaking In Maine
Towering pine forests reflect in glassy waters, punctuated by the occasional wandering moose strolling along Maine’s 4,500 square miles of inland waterways.
Gliding soundlessly along in a kayak is one of the best ways to see the immense creatures and other wildlife from a respectful distance. Enjoy paddling Maine’s public waters on a quiet backwater pond, a winding river or seaside estuary.

Float a Wild River
In the mid-19th century, author Henry David Thoreau described Maine’s north woods as a “grim and wild land.” Retrace his adventures along the Allagash River from its headwaters north of Mt. Katahdin — the tallest peak in the state — to its confluence with the St. John River.
The entire 92-mile course takes about nine days to complete, with primitive campsites providing picnic tables and fire rings. In addition to enjoying views of Katahdin and miles of lonely forest, you’re likely to see moose munching on underwater vegetation and eagles soaring high above. Multiple access points allow you to plan a day trip, such as the nearly 6 miles between Allagash Lake and Chamberlain Lake.
Head Out on a Lake
Moosehead Lake is Maine’s largest, situated in the Longfellow Mountains in the heart of the state. The lake covers 120 square miles with about 300 islands within its boundaries.
Although the lake is basically flat water, the prevailing wind from the northwest sometimes whips up waves capable of capsizing your kayak. Coves along the shoreline provide the quietest waters, and smaller lakes in the chain — including Brassua, Chesuncook, Lobster and Seboomook lakes — make less tempestuous places to paddle on a windy day. Free campsites around the lake’s shore offer the opportunity for a multi-day adventure.
Explore an Estuary
Breathe in refreshing sea air with a relaxing paddle in one of Maine’s many seaside marshes and estuaries. Paddle the quiet backwaters of Scarborough Marsh, the state’s most expansive salt marsh.
The Maine Audubon society rents kayaks at the marsh for exploring the estuary’s 3,100 acres. The Wild Duck Campground and RV Park lies along the shores of the Scarborough River in the estuary, with adult-only camping for RV and tent campers as well as a dock where you can set off in your canoe in the estuary. The estuary is open marsh with little shade and plenty of biting flies, so bring sunscreen and repellent.
Across the Pond
Maine provides the public with the right to use any pond larger than 10 acres, which opens up hundreds of paddling opportunities throughout the state. Great Pond in Cape Elizabeth lies about a third of a mile from the ocean.
The pond covers 40 acres ideal for kayak fishing and bird-watching, tucking into woodlands surrounded by open fields and wetlands that allow you to view wildlife such as water birds and beaver as you paddle the waters.
The pond’s jagged shoreline has quiet coves where you can stop for a picnic as well as a hiking trail along the northern shore.

New Oregon-BPA Agreement Protects Willamette Habitat
On Oct. 22, the State of Oregon and the Bonneville Power Administration signed a landmark agreement to jointly protect nearly 20,000 acres of Willamette Basin wildlife habitat -- more than twice the area of Oregon's largest state park. The agreement dedicates stable funding from electric ratepayers for 15 years to cost-effectively safeguard Willamette habitat for many native species such as Oregon's state bird, the western meadowlark. It also provides for BPA funding of two major initial habitat acquisitions: Purchase of 1,270 acres at the confluence of the Middle and Coast forks of the Willamette River southeast of Eugene by The Nature Conservancy and a conservation easement on 1,310 acres of forest and other habitat owned by Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey near Lafayette, Ore.

#SAVEBOR Фильм про Бузулукский бор (+18)
#SaveBor – это фильм о национальном парке «Бузулукский Бор», единственном в мире реликтовом степном сосновом лесу. Весной 2015 года в России был объявлен тендер на добычу в нем нефти.
This is a film about the Buzuluksky Bor National Park. It is the only steppe relict pine forest in the world. In the spring of 2015 a tender to produce oil here was published in Russia.
Его выиграла компания «Новый поток» – предприятие, занимающееся только переработкой и не имеющее опыта добычи нефти на особо охраняемых территориях. Объявило тендер министерство природных ресурсов России. Ведомство, которое должно было защищать заповедники, само предложило добывать нефть в центре национального парка.
It went to the New Stream company which at the moment only dealt with oil processing and had no experience of oil production on protected territories. The tender was published by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia. The state institution which has to protect national parks offered to produce oil right in the center of one of them.
Фильм про Бузулукский бор – это фильм об огромном живом организме, который хотят уничтожить на наших глазах.

Climate, Water, and the Evolution of Early Societies
Climate, Water, and the Evolution of Early Societies: From the Tropical Maya Lowlands to the Arid Puebloan Southwest
Vernon L. Scarborough, Distinguished University Research Professor and Charles P. Taft Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Cincinnati
The earliest complex societies found in the Western Hemisphere developed under very different environmental conditions. The Maya, for instance, emerged in the tropical lowlands of the Yucatan Peninsula, a region with high seasonal rainfall and rich biodiversity. The Puebloans, in contrast, developed in the semiarid region of what is today Arizona and New Mexico, an area with limited rainfall and biodiversity. Vernon Scarborough will discuss two important archaeological sites from these different ecological and cultural zones—Tikal in Guatemala and the Chaco Canyon in New Mexico—to illustrate how the availability of water and climate influence the evolution of societies and what we can learn from these historical precedents.

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
=======
The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) biking and walking route linking the major cities of the Atlantic coast of the United States, from Calais, Maine, to Key West, Florida. The spine route and branching complementary routes are for non-motorized human transportation for everything from local commutes to long-distance trips.
The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991. The entire route has been selected. As of July 2017, 900 miles (1,450 km), or 32 percent of the route, is off-road on traffic-protected greenways. The vision is for the entire trail to be off-road.
