From August 24th through September 3rd, members of The Salvation Army's Texas Music and Arts Department traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to serve as special guests for an impactful gathering. For more than a week, approximately 500 delegates and staff from the Democratic Republic of Congo came together for a comprehensive music institute.   Each day's schedule at the camp was jam-packed, beginning with morning devotions. The camp's five bands performed in a rotation each morning, and then classes proceeded for upwards of five hours broken up by lunch.   For the majority of the week, the delegates and staff worked at a camp in the small village of Kavwaya, which includes a church along with a Salvation Army run hospital, boarding school, and vocational training center.   By the time the Texas team prepared to return home, it was clear that each member enjoyed a tremendous experience. The impact was not only musical and artistic but also spiritual and cultural, with lifelong friendships established in the process.

A Cobb County Police Department officer shot a motorist during a traffic stop Wednesday night after the driver reached for a gun, the department said. According to a news release, at around 10:22 p.m. police pulled the driver over on Interstate 75 near Delk Road. While approaching the vehicle, the officer observed that the driver had a gun. The department said that the driver made a movement toward a firearm and ignored verbal commands. The officer then shot the driver, police said. Arriving officers rendered first aid until the driver could be transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital via ambulance. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident. An inmate of the Cobb County jail died in custody Wednesday morning, the Cobb County Sheriff's Office said. James Martin of Mableton, was booked last Friday on methamphetamine possession and failure to maintain lane. Martin told deputies he was a heroin addict, “and had just binged the substance,” according to a news release. Wednesday morning, Martin told the jail's medical staff he was feeling unwell before having a seizure. Martin was given Narcan, a drug used to counteract an opioid overdose, but he died while en route to the hospital in an ambulance, the sheriff's office said. His time of death was reported as 9:21 a.m. The sheriff's office said later Wednesday they had since learned Martin suffered from stage IV hepatitis C. The office has asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to investigate the death. Martin is the seventh inmate to die in custody since Sheriff Craig Owens took office in 2021, and the first this year. Sheriff Owens has implemented new technologies such as medical monitoring wristbands to try and curb jail deaths after a string of inmate deaths under the previous administration. Though her own bill to rein in the powers of Georgia's accreditation agencies fell short this week, state Representative Ginny Ehrhart, the Republican representative from west Cobb, says the push isn't dead yet, with a similar measure having been passed by the Georgia Senate earlier this week. Ehrhart's bill — House Bill 506 — came out of the firestorm of controversy sparked during the Cobb County School District's “special review” by its accrediting company, Cognia, in 2021. Initiated after complaints by the school board's three Democrats over the partisan bickering on the board, the review dinged the district over shortcomings in “board governance.” Cognia's report would later be voided and replaced with a new one, as the firm's CEO Mark Elgart walked back other recommendations on improving the student achievement gap and fiscal responsibility. Ehrhart's bill would have barred Cognia and other firms from evaluating Georgia public school districts on political concerns like board governance, and set up an appeals process for negative reviews. Her legislation, however, never received a vote before the full House of Representatives before Crossover Day Monday. The west Cobb Republican told the MDJ a similar proposal from state Senator Greg Dolezal,  a Republican from Alpharetta, is headed to the House after passing out of the Senate 52-0. Dolezal's bill, Senate Bill 204, is broadly similar to Ehrhart's in that it limits the standards by which accrediting firms can evaluate districts and schools.  Pollen, already blanketing cars, causing sniffles and irritating eyes across Cobb and the rest of metro Atlanta, couldn't wait for spring to start breaking records. Atlanta Allergy and Asthma, an allergy practice with offices throughout the metro area, reported 14 days of pollen counts in the high range for February, a record for the month that beat the previous one of 10 days in February 2017. While Atlanta Allergy did not report any days of “extremely high” tree pollen counts — 1,600 or more — for February, the allergy group has already recorded “extremely high” counts three straight days this week, Monday through Wednesday. The 3,937 count on Tuesday was the ninth-highest in March during the past decade. Pollen counts, measured in grains per cubic meter of air over 24 hours, have been consistently high in the metro area before spring has officially started. Dr. Stanley Fineman, who sees patients at two Atlanta Allergy and Asthma locations in Marietta, said earlier pollen seasons have become the norm in the last three decades. Per Atlanta Allergy and Asthma, recent studies show the trend tracks with climate warming trends and said Southern states will be more greatly impacted than other areas of the U.S. For people worried about how the pollen is affecting them, Fineman said the first step they should take is to get an allergy test that will pinpoint what exactly their allergy is and what's triggering their allergic reactions. From there, Fineman and his colleagues can give patients allergy treatment plans. For years, he advised patients to begin their plans, often starting with over-the-counter medications like nasal sprays, around St. Patrick's Day, so that the treatments would have time to work by high pollen count days in late March and early April. Kennesaw State will be opening the doors to the KSU Convocation Center on Sunday for the NCAA's tournament selection show. Fans are invited to join the team as it finds out who and where it will be playing next week. The Owls are making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in their Division I era.

Hello and welcome to Episode Fifty-One of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast, the very last episode. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! Today's Reader's Advisory is a little different that usual. I decided, selfishly, to share some of my favorite books this year and talk about why I liked them. Just share a bit about my personal reading preferences and how all these, seemingly different titles, all caught my eye and my love. The titles I decided to share about are Unbias: Addressing Unconscious Bias at Work by Stacey A. Gordon, Crip Kinship: the Disability Justice & Art Activism of Sins Invalid by Shayda Kafai, link to their performances can be found here, The Forgotten Dead by Jordan L. Hawk, Creepy Cat by Cotton Valent, and Water I Won't Touch by Kayleb Rae Candrilli. Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit is all about our new butterfly garden! The idea to change our courtyard from its previous version to the butterfly garden came from an article in the March/April issue of American Libraries magazine. This article, titled, “Where Monarchs Reign” by Emily Udell, describes how the Kokomo-Howard Public Library created their butterfly garden, how that garden inspired other gardens in the area, and also about the importance of butterflies and butterfly gardens to the ecosystem. Butterflies, and other pollinators, are deeply important to our planet and are some of the first to suffer from climate change and human caused destruction of habitat. For too long humans ignored native flora and fauna not understanding why it was important. In recent years we have seen a growing understanding and push for replanting with native plants to encourage native wildlife back into the ecosystems. Some minor inconveniences and costs is worth it to have a habitable planet for our descendants. Casey, the Library Director, read this article and was inspired to change our courtyard garden into a butterfly garden! It was also important to her to make sure that our butterfly garden was a certified butterfly garden through the North American Butterfly Association. This association is a non-profit organization that focuses on conservation, education, and research. NABA is the largest butterfly interest group in North America. Geri, the Assistant Library Director, contacted Taylor Kahn from the Recreation, Parks, and Arts Department to work with them on creating the new garden. Taylor was very enthusiastic about it from the beginning. Keeping the criteria for a NABA certified garden in mind they purchased native Florida plants and also renovated the pond and waterfall. Once the preliminary changes had been made the garden was submitted to NABA and received certification! Some of the plants added to our butterfly garden include: milkweed, false heather, firecracker, penta, lantana, and porterweed. Phase II of the garden was kicked off by a Greater Largo Library Foundation donor who spoke to Elliot, the Director of GLLF, and Casey about how much she enjoyed the new butterfly garden and how much she loved gardening in her own life. She suggested, planned, and funded additional renovations to the courtyard including more trees and plants, boulders and ground coverings. As well as, furniture, a shade structure, lighting, new artwork, signage, and a new paved area for additional outdoor programming space. We're so excited and pleased with how the butterfly garden came out and we hope you come out and enjoy it as well! And now it's time for Book Traveler, with Victor: Welcome to a new edition of Book Traveler. Today I will be talking about a new book in the Spanish collection, called Aristotle and Dante Submerge in the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáez. Synopsis: In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the ...

Earlier this year, the Santa Fe Arts Commission underwent some notable changes, mainly that it will henceforth be known as the Arts and Culture Department—a standalone government body no longer operating under the auspices of city Tourism.  Alex DeVore, SFR's arts and culture editor, interviewed Director of the Santa Fe Arts and Culture Department Pauline Kanako Kamiyama and newly-appointed commission chair Alex Hanna.  The duo plan on upping Santa Fe's arts game, including with an emphasis on the city's Southside. 

Digital Arts Department

Keith: Good morning UCLS students. My name is Professor Keith. You shall refer to me direct, in passing or behind my back as… Professor Keith. Now, this is Science 101. Or in other words how to make your shadow as small as possible in this classroom. Now, I've named this semester "Low Expectations" - I don't know if that reflects anything on your behalf lest you realise that at this moment you are fully ready and equipped to fail the year end exam. Ace: Who’s the Doogie Howser? Keith: My job is to make sure that that is a figment of my enormous imagination and not your wispy deluded future hopes and wishes. If now, however, you aren’t quite ready yet, I could throw you back into the pond and wait for you to grow bigger but alas that’s not feasible, so, it is not in your interests to go get an F although would put a big fat smile on my cold dead face. I hope that what happens on this course will startle you into awake-ness maybe even interest dare I think it. At this point as you are staring at me with mucus lined nostrils and vacant expressions, you might be asking yourself; “This guy’s a genius, why don’t I hate his guts?’ Well, it’s like the bacteria slowly filling up your cerebellum in the form of your poor taste in clothing; hatred will veil itself around you gradually, week by week. Yes, I see you’re so tuned in now. Mmm. Biology. It's probably something you don't care about in the least. But I thought, what the hell, I'd teach it here for about half my life, ande since I'm standing here with the chalk and you’re not allowed to escape. … What is this? (Takes out a thermometer) Oona: That’s a thermometer. Keith: Congratulations Blondy. Slight synaptic activity from the back there… that’s a thermometer-WHAT? Oona: That’s a thermometer, Professor Keith. Keith: Saved from the lapdancing life by a sudden flood of brain fluid. Hmm, can anyone now tell me why thermometers are so small? Ace: Because mercury is so expensive? Keith: Yessss. Now let's think of a GOOD answer! Ace to Floyd: Jesus, it’s Queen Preenus up on stage. Floyd: You’re just not on Planet science… and what’s a fuck is Queen Preen… Magda: Is it something about size and volume? Keith: A question you no doubt ask yourself hard on a Friday night. Switch on the learning channel people; bulb thermometers rely on the simple principle that a liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature. Kudos to the brunette at the back there… Liquids take up less space when they are cold and more space when they are warm. All bulb thermometers use a fairly large bulb and a narrow tube to accentuate the change in volume, thus the smaller the thermometer; the more accurate the reading of the temperature in a pressured state. Now, unlike the arts courses that you will be no doubt flinging yourselves at with moronic abandon, only to receive circumspect, incidental information, science is fact and like the aforementioned fact I will give you an explanation instead of vague poetic analogies. (Door Knocks)         Keith: Proceed to interrupt the classroom. Tash: Good morning Professor Keith, eh class… mmnnn, I… Keith: Ah, the poet himself, come to cast magic verse of script and sell his wares of the ‘Arts Department’. Tash: Yes, well, no, well you wouldn’t believe me, but that doesn’t matter, that I am here to see you regarding the staff meeting, slight change of interpretation of time and space in the hour and place. Keith: And you all get this free for your grant money. Tash: Provost Broadleaf has had to rearrange it from 11am to 4pm. Keith: Ah, the overlord… and in that, a whole new area of science unknown to logic awaits us… Tash: Quite… Mmmnnn, 4pm, I’ll see you there. And if I may take the floor for a moment… Keith: Inmates! This is my very short-lived guest… Professor Norman Tash, Head of all ‘Arts’, everywhere… Tash: Those of you signed-up for Geomatics, it now begins at 11am and not 4pm. Same room as on your induction sheets. Thank you. Thanks Keith. Keith: No pleasure was lost Norman. (Door closes behind him) Keith: Yes. He brings a lot of joy when he leaves the room. Now, after the warm up act, it’s the main show; of course I would have had a nubile assistant in a sheepskin leotard, a disco ball and some Casio keyboard fast jazz, but, swiftly, swiftly, you with the Unibomber haircut… Floyd: Me Professor? Keith: That’s where my eyes are looking it seems so yes… gather these papers and disperse them how you see fit, usually one per person helps… Now, this handout is not produced for your enlightenment but merely so I can practice using the new staff room photocopier… Some people can try to study these things – but mostly they don't because someone will take them aside and say, "Eh, this is shit and confusing me", but some people won't listen... I personally find it instructive - it's optional whether you do and there's something worrying abut the idea of me standing up in front of you for an hour and NO-ONE'S LISTENING... If I'm going to waste my time, I'd rather have you staring blankly at a filled page... So… let’s start with the… (Door opens again) Brian: Eh, sorry sir, teacher, sir, I’m late. (Cough) I had to collect my, em, well, it eh, (cough) (sneeze)… I, em, I, can I… ? Keith: Why are you so small and red? You look like a farmer found at Funderland-. Brian: Sorry, I uuugh… (Blows on inhaler). Keith: Ok, ok… Eh, just take a seat and mimic the others. Brian: Thank you sir… I’ll eh just take a seat here… Keith: What’s your name? Brian: B-brian sir, b-but most people call me Bubbles sir. Keith: Being so full of nothing surrounded by a thin sheen of moisture, I can see that… Brian: (Sneezes), (Takes inhaler) Keith: If I may continue mmm? Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: I take that as a yes… Brian: (Inhaler) Keith: As the letters on the page spell, today we apply the basic forward antibody method of blood hematology to easily and quickly provide the user, that’s you, with their blood type (A, AB, B or O) and rhesus factor (Rh negative or Rh positive). If like marmosets and meerkats you absorb guidance quickly, there should be results in a few minutes without the need for beatings. Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Nyah, by simply comparing the results of blood sample coagulation on the pretreated areas of the test card with a graphic- Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: -picture chart, correct blood grouping is known. The test card can then be filled out with your personal identification information and laminated with- Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: …the provided plastic sheet to make a permanent record.  Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Now, perhaps everything in the room should be laminated in plastic sheets. Because of the excess amount of snot coming from one particular pupil. Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Thank you. Now, lay your selected hand, palm up, against a flat table surface. Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Holding the lancet device in your… Brian: (Sneeze) (inhaler) Keith: …HAND firmly Brian: (Sneeze, sneeze, SNEEZE!) Keith: Lord Crud and his brace of bastard balls! Are you allergic to yourself?!! Brian: Sorry sir, (inhaler) (fart), Em, I don’t seem to have a, could I have a spare photocopy, please? Keith: I don’t run off extras for losers. You can look at the double-sided transparency in front of you. Brian: But I haven’t got a handout in front of me. Keith: Sigh. I know Bubbles that the bogglement of your mind is what this is all about for you so I’ll let you help me by going down to the janitor’s office and picking up a box of left-handed needles and a bucket of steam for our experiment today, the needles being particularly more accurate… Brian: Okay sir, Keith: The door is there if you had forgotten… Brian: Yes… hihih, left handed needles and a bucket of steam… Floyd: Un-believe-able… Ace: Totally O.T.T. (Door opens and slaps) Keith: Class pool refined, we continue… where was I… difficult question isn’t it…oh yes… so lay your selected hand, palm up, against a flat table surface. Holding the lancet device in your other hand against the outside tip of your finger… (Sound of running and panting, then inhaler…) (Knock on janitor's door) Dick: Whats yis want now, ya… ah, howaya Bubbles, what can I help ya with? Brian: Em, urhg, cough, splutter, sneeze, fart… Dick: Calm down young lad, you’ll have a hernia! Brian: Em, eh, Professor Keith sent me down to ask you for some left handed needles and a bucket of steam for the blood type test today… Dick: A bucket of… Fuckin’ bastard…. Brian: Hah? Dick: …and I bet ‘im a tenner too… how does he do it? Brian: Dick?

(Closes door) Brian: Um, o-k-aaay… Keith: A positive, A negative, B Positive, B Negative, AB Positive and my very own blood type which is AB Negative and of course like my vast intelligence it’s the rarest of a kind. I'm going to expect all of you to go away and fill in all the details yourselves, ‘cos it's fun! (Door opens) Brian: Sorry sir, Dick didn’t have any needles or buckets of steam. Keith: Oh well… Thanks for your efforts and you know, if snot was flammable Bubbles you would be incinerated right now had I a box of matches.

I - An ear-film adventure by Amplevoicepod. The story of Floyd Frisbane, Accursis 'Ace' Byrne and Brian 'Bubbles' Waterbury, after meeting each other on the first day at University College Loughfeg State. It's a time for moral advancement as they bond when trying to procure a virgin for Brian over the internet. They must be careful not to rouse the attention of teacher Norman Tash who himself is intent on straightening this trio out. Science professor Keith, meanwhile, is annually dismayed at the sheer stupidity of the year's intake and is contemptuous of Provost Broadleaf O'Hara as he struggles to keep Loughfeg State University afloat. Janitor Dick Soupe is barely holding the buildings and himself together as he tries to help the new enrollees integrate. On Loughfeg's main street, Finny and Pavla trade insults as they helm Finny's bar while attempting to avoid catching the red eyes of resident comic-lover barfly Baldy Kendall and U.C.L.S computer teacher Ciaran Brennan. Amplevoicepod creates original explicit storytelling. We make HD audio podcasts to sternly tongue your earhole. We try not to follow others, don't cross the easy fields and have lived in blissful ignorance across millennia. We make ear-film adventures. Full effects-laden audio productions with plots, characters and immersive sounds. It takes about 80 hours of production in writing, recording and editing to make 1 hour of output. We take lumps out of each other as we sculpt our latest mutation. To relax we switch on the mics, open our lungs and bellow out a 2-hour rock show playing the best music dug up on a Friday. Tautologically titled 'The Friday Rock Show' it's just us and a few listener letters, which we lovingly read out on air. It's DJ Adgeen Byrne and producer Tony Wilson spitting and sparring to send you into sonic convulsions. Started in 1987, this saga has continued down through the ages with over 500 stories read out on air, from a wide variety of intriguingly demented souls. Our feature-length stories now streaming: Timefiddler, Mount Pheasant I, Mount Pheasant II, The Adrian & Tony Radio Show I & II. Coming soon: University College Loughfeg State (U.C.L.S), Mental Holmes, United Mutations and Panspermia. Streaming our oddcast now on all good audiophilic emporia.

Wherein we discuss Cosmological Koans, the polar bears of plants, a win-win student program, UCSC's first feminist studies Ph.D.s, white dwarfs, beaked whales, and a very cool arts internship program! Communications staffers Gwen Jourdonnais and Dan White go over recent highlights in UC Santa Cruz news and our Arts Department colleague Maureen Dixon Harrison gives an update on the arts scene.
