Community Resource Volunteers began officially in 1977, but its roots go back to the 1960s. The idea is simple: identify local resource people, materials, events, and facilities that can be used to benefit community members old or young. CRV initiatives span the arts, outdoor recreation, science and technology experiences for junior high school and elementary students, college campus engineering laboratory workshops, and rural transportation. The 15 minute documentary at bit.ly/crv48879 is built from the images in this slide set. And while the 200+ images can be viewed according to one's own interests, only the youtube presentation includes narration and CRV founder/director Bill Richards' commentary. See crvonline.org for more information.

A year on the main Japanese island near the Japan Sea in Fukui prefecture. Photos are grouped by topic, then chronologically, as well. The images come from the larger collection appearing in ebook form at Amazon in volume 1 (countryside) and volume 2 (city views) under the title "Life and Times Today in Rural Japan" by Guven Witteveen. Speaker notes give some details of the source subject. Caption (text box) is filled with placeholder text (file name), so the user can customize that part of the slide, according to purpose.
About 200 marchers gathered from all generations to capture the attention of local news media, the downtown public, and elected government leaders. This still photos from start to completion of the march activities go from the Ah-Nab-Awen Park on the bank of the Grand River to Calder Plaza and then back across the river to complete the circle. Slide 2 gives URL to several video clips from the afternoon.
With permission of director, Mr. Liu Xiangchen, these screenshots come from the dozen video clips of his 2017 documentary project in the XUAR, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, in far west China. This sample shows the diverse views, from drone, close-up, and within daily life and special occasions. The source video clips may be seen at vimeo.com/liux
Part of the permanent exhibit is the Hall of Cultures. The circular path weaves past numerous well-lit glass cases to give a sampling of diverse traditional ways of life, past and present. It concludes with the table of four columns to summarize key characteristics of human culture: diverse, adaptive, dynamic, and symbolic.
The spaces and structures that connect interior living and work space to the outdoors are diverse. This transitional area that often form a porch or outdoor extension of the living space can be grouped into a few types.
Thinking of how best to simulate the human eyes' angle of view, the stitched panorama offers several ways to express this vision. The presentation illustrates how to do this. Merely opting for wider and wider lens will distort foreground-background relationship & impose artificial sense of motion from corner to center due to distortion at superwide angles of view. By contrast the 'normal' focal lengths (35mm equivalent of 35-65mm lens) can be used to stitch a series of overlapping frames into a panoramic whole without the wide-angle lens distortion.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
