Decades after the land was purchased in 1999, Clark County officially opened Curtin Creek Community Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The park features the county's first lighted multi-sport rugby field, four lighted pickleball courts, inclusive play areas, and trails overlooking the Gaddis wetlands and Mount Hood. Development was funded through the Metropolitan Park District Levy, REET II funds, and an $850,000 state grant. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/community-attends-ribbon-cutting-event-to-celebrate-new-curtin-creek-community-park/ #CurtinCreekPark #ClarkCounty #Vancouver #WashingtonState #CommunityNews #ParksAndNature #ClarkCountyParks ---

El fósforo es uno de los elementos más limitantes en la producción agrícola mundial, y entender cómo se comporta en el suelo puede marcar la diferencia entre un ciclo productivo rentable y uno que desperdicia recursos desde el primer día. En este episodio se explora el superfosfato triple desde sus bases químicas hasta su impacto en la nutrición vegetal, con información técnica respaldada por fuentes científicas verificables.El superfosfato triple contiene cerca del 46 por ciento de P₂O₅ disponible, más del doble que el superfosfato simple. Su proceso de obtención, su comportamiento según el pH del suelo y su relación con la actividad micorrízica son factores que determinan si ese fósforo llega realmente a la raíz o se fija en formas que la planta no puede aprovechar.Se analizan los errores más frecuentes en campo, como la aplicación superficial en suelo seco, y se explica por qué ocurren y cómo corregirlos con ajustes simples de manejo y ubicación del fertilizante.El episodio también conecta el uso del superfosfato triple con la geopolítica de las reservas mundiales de roca fosfórica y la finitud de este recurso, un ángulo que transforma la manera de ver cualquier programa de fertilización.Ideal para ingenieros agrónomos, técnicos de campo, productores y estudiantes que quieran profundizar en el manejo del fósforo con criterio técnico y perspectiva global.Escucha Agricultura Profesional:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZuOW2DhD7PK4SM33gtFWy?si=e33021063a114550--Créditos musicales:INTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-graham/53License code: 62TIV9S8Q1XCM65WOUTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: KUSUTAITXDLYUTHQ--Fuentes consultadas:Lawes, J.B. y Gilbert, J.H.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #254 Alisha Curtin San Diego Concealed Carry & Gun Owners Radio   In 2022, I went to the San Diego County Gun Owners' Gun Prom with a friend. I got to meet lots of people at the event, many whom I've had on the show at some point. I'm sure I met Alisha Curtin then. She's been part of Gun Owners Radio for a few years now. I did a PitStop interview with her, which is already posted, and I got to film this interview where we get into things a little more with her. This was her first SHOT Show and she had a great time!    Alisha was raised in the San Diego area and met her husband in high school. At 17, she enlisted in the delayed entry program in the Army. The week before she was supposed to ship off for bootcamp, she re-evaluated the situation with her boyfriend and thought it was leading places just 4 months into dating. Just before SHOT Show, they celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary!   Her husband is in law enforcement and with a firearm in the home, he wanted her to be familiar with it. She really enjoyed it but, for him, shooting was just work. Eventually, she found that she was going to shoot and take training with her lady friends. Around 2012, she bought her own gun, a S&W .40 cal! Fortunately, it was a gun she rented, knew what she was getting into, and liked shooting.    During her pre-firearms career, Alisha was a high school teacher, covering biology, chemistry, forensic science, and criminal justice. The path to becoming an instructor was interesting. She was taking courses and another instructor took her in, said she would be good at this and mentored her. Then a range approached her and asked about having her teach courses at their facility. Instructing was a part time gig until the virus that shall not be named happened. The gun laws were changing and it seems like a good time to make a change.    As an instructor, she mostly works with women. Many times a woman takes a lesson and brings her husband's gun or buys a gun the store suggests she buys. But that often isn't a great choice for the ladies, something like a J frame snubby. The thought is if a woman isn't strong enough to rack a slide, then she's going to have issues shooting a revolver in double action.    Her business is called San Diego Concealed Carry. There are a couple of ranges where she teaches. In California to become a CCW instructor, there are three different paths one can take: the NRA path,  the BSIS (Bureau of Security Investigative Services) path, and the POST Police Officer Standard of Training). She's got all three of them. She also has all of the USCCA certifications, as well.    Certified with NRA, USCCA, and others, she offers several courses. Of course, there's CCW courses, the California DOJ initial course and renewal course, introduction to firearm courses, youth courses, self defense training, and the court mandidated courses, too. She keeps very busy and is very well versed in the Calif. gun laws and statues.    Besides everything else she does, Alisha was going to events hosted by San Diego County Gun Owners. I will say that having been to one of their events, they draw in huge numbers of attendees! In 2021, the capacity at Gun Prom was 999. If there were 1,000 people they would need "special requirements', if you remember. At one event, Michael Schwartz, head of SDCGO, and Alisha got to talking. He had some changes with Gun Owners Radio and asked her to be a co-host of the show. I've got to say, it's been a weekly listen for me for a number of years now, and I highly recommend it to everyone. She has her own segment called Curtin Call, where she talks about training.    Females are the largest growing demographic of firearm owners. It's fantastic that the ladies can take courses with someone like Alisha. It's also good that she can more than hold her own with the fellas, too. I'm sure she even shows a few of them up!   Favorite quotes: "I had a good time. I liked it, I enjoyed it. But for him it was work." "It's a big investment. You want to make sure it's the right gun for you." "Men, in general, do not  understand the things a woman needs in a firearm."

Senior Pastor Ben Curtin talks about how environment matters to how we live out our identity and calling from God.

Just a stone's throw from Curtin is a bushland more biodiverse than Kings Park. Find out how a team of volunteers are not only conserving that bushland, but leading a daring restoration project.  In this episode, our hosts David and Celeste are joined by plant biologist and Curtin Research Fellow, Dr Michael Just. They talk about how the Friends of Jirdarup Bushland are leading the transformation of a former rubbish dump into a pristine banksia woodland. Michael also delves into seed sourcing and the challenges of getting anything to grow in a sandpit. Why urban bushland matters [01:10] The current state of Perth's bushland [01:51] Restoration challenges [02:40] Jirdarup Bushland an urban oasis [03:47] Innovative planting techniques [09:14] Become a Friend of Jirdarup [16:55] Note: the introduction incorrectly stated the sandpit is on track to become the world's first fully-restored banksia woodland; it is set to be one of a few successfully restored woodland areas.  Episode feature image: Red-capped robin by Georgina Wilson.

What if communication with those who have passed on is possible—and what would those messages mean for the living? In this thoughtful and emotionally resonant episode, Marilou Trask-Curtin explores Communicating with the Other Side, sharing her perspectives on spiritual connection, intuition, and the search for comfort beyond loss. Drawing from her experiences and beliefs, Marilou discusses how individuals interpret signs, impressions, and experiences they feel may connect them with loved ones who have passed. She explores the emotional impact of these experiences and how they can offer hope, healing, and a sense of continued connection. This episode invites listeners to approach the subject with openness and reflection. How do people interpret experiences they believe are spiritual communication? What role do grief, memory, and belief play in these encounters? And how can individuals explore such experiences while maintaining thoughtful consideration and personal discernment? Join us for a heartfelt and contemplative conversation that explores the enduring human desire for connection—where questions about life, loss, and what may lie beyond continue to inspire wonder and reflection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Place-Based Solutions (JHU Press, 2026) offers a bold and practical response, charting a path toward what Charles G. Curtin calls "prosilience"—the capacity not just to endure crises, but to leap forward through them. With over thirty years of collaborative, on-the-ground experience in conservation and climate adaptation. This book emphasizes the power of small and mid-sized organizations to catalyze meaningful change, using real-world examples to illustrate how lasting impact depends on aligning ethics, equity, institutional design, and the ability to learn over time. Curtin encourages readers to shift their focus from the pre-crisis status quo to preparing for—and thriving in—novel futures. This is the third of a series of books that Charles has authored to explore and test frameworks for addressing social and ecological change. His previous two books, The Science of Open Spaces and Complex Ecology: Foundational perspectives on Dynamic Approaches to Ecology and Conservation. Charles has a Master's in Land Management and a doctorate in Zoology. And he completed a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in Climate Change Adaptation. His current work develops carbon-negative, place-based conservation strategies addressing fire and drought in the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains, with companion projects focused on sustaining intact Panamanian cloud forests. He now lives near Taos, New Mexico. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Adoption Roadmap Podcast, Rebecca Gruenspan—adoptive parent, consultant, and founder of RG Adoption Consulting—sits down with Sydney Curtin, a birth mother, life coach, speaker, and author of Courageous Considerations: A Guide to Open Adoption, for a raw and deeply honest conversation.In Part 1, Sydney shares her personal adoption story—one marked by coercion, broken promises, and profound loss. After placing her daughter into what was promised to be an open adoption, Sydney describes how contact slowly diminished, boundaries were repeatedly shifted, and eventually her daughter was moved overseas, dramatically limiting their relationship. Through her lived experience, Sydney sheds light on how power imbalances, lack of informed consent, and unsupported openness agreements can leave birth mothers—and children—bearing long-term emotional consequences.This first part centers on the human cost of adoption when integrity breaks down. Sydney's story challenges listeners to reconsider what openness truly requires, how promises in adoption impact a child's identity, and why adoption must be approached as a lifelong relationship rather than a transaction. Part 1 invites hopeful and adoptive parents alike to sit with discomfort, listen closely, and reflect on the responsibility that comes with saying “yes” to adoption.Important LinksRG Adoption Consulting• Website → https://rgadoptionconsulting.com• Book a 30-Minute Consult → https://rgadoptionconsulting.com/contactSydney Curtin• Website → https://www.coachcurtin.com/• Instagram • Solace Gift Boxes → AdoptSolace.comChapters00:00 – Sponsor Message01:55 – Episode Introduction02:10 – “This Isn't About Intention, It's About Integrity”03:08 – Coercion and Family Pressure04:57 – What She Asked for in an Open Adoption06:36 – Being Told She Was Asking Too Much08:30 – What the Open Adoption Agreement Actually Said09:44 – The Adoption Was Finalized Without Her10:58 – Her Daughter Was Moved to France12:15 – Openness Reduced and Mediation Requested14:30 – The Agreement Is Nullified15:40 – Adoption Compared to a Marriage16:24 – Profit, Power, and the Role of Agencies17:04 – Post-Placement Support and Counseling18:29 – Legal Rights and PACA Agreements20:38 – When the Relationship Began to Break Down22:10 – Losing Her Daughter More Than Once23:45 – How She Survived the Early Days After Placement25:56 – A Birthday Call That Changed Everything26:45 – The Impact on Siblings27:30 – End of Part 1 / Tease for Part 2Tune in to The Adoption Roadmap Podcast every Wednesday.

This week on Respect Life Radio, we welcome Dr. Dermot Curtin to explore his insightful Catholic Exchange article, “Faith as the Answer to this Age of Anxiety.” In a culture saturated with uncertainty, pressure, and existential doubt, Dr. Curtin offers a refreshing and profound Catholic perspective on how faith doesn't merely distract from our worries — it gives them meaning. Drawing on philosophy, theology and the wisdom of figures like Kierkegaard, he shows how our age's pervasive anxiety can become a gateway to deeper spiritual transformation and reliance on God's providence rather than the fragmented promises of the world. Tune in to be encouraged and challenged to see faith not as a quick fix, but as a steady horizon from which true peace and purpose emerge.
