The Colorado River and its many
tributaries, including the Dirty Devil,
Paria, Escalante, and San Juan rivers,
carve through the Colorado Plateau
to form a landscape of dynamic
and complex desert and
water environments.
The vast, rugged landscapes of
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
provide an unparalleled spectrum
of diverse land- and water-based
recreational opportunities for visitors
of wide-ranging interests and abilities.
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
preserves a record of more than
10,000 years of human presence,
adaptation, and exploration.
This place remains significant for many
descendant communities, providing
opportunities for people to connect
with cultural values and associations
that are both ancient and contemporary.
The deep, 15-mile-long, narrow gorge
below the dam provides a glimpse
of the high canyon walls,
ancient rock art, and a vestige
of the riparian and beach terrace
environments that were seen by
John Wesley Powell’s
Colorado River expedition in 1869,
providing a stark contrast to the impounded
canyons of Lake Powell.
Rainbow Bridge is one of the world’s
largest natural bridges and is a
premier example of eccentric stream
erosion in a remote area of the
Colorado Plateau.
For many indigenous peoples in
the Four Corners region,
Rainbow Bridge is a spiritually occupied
landscape that is inseparable from
their cultural identities and
traditional beliefs. And

The population of Colorado
To find the population of Colorado, we have to integrate the population density over a 2-dimensional regoin. This involves chopping the region into little rectangles (counties?), computing the population of each one, adding them up, and taking a limit.
Drew Dix Speech Dedicates Veteran's Bridge, Pueblo CO, Nov. 2010
DIX, DREW DENNIS
Rank and Organization: Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army, U.S. Senior Advisor Group, IV Corps, Military Assistance Command. Place and date: Chau Doc Province, Republic of Vietnam, 31 January and 1 February 1968. Entered service at: Denver, Colo. Born: 14 December 1944, West Point, N.Y. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. S/Sgt. Dix distinguished himself by exceptional heroism while serving as a unit adviser. Two heavily armed Viet Cong battalions attacked the Province capital city of Chau Phu resulting in the complete breakdown and fragmentation of the defenses of the city. S/Sgt. Dix, with a patrol of Vietnamese soldiers, was recalled to assist in the defense of Chau Phu. Learning that a nurse was trapped in a house near the center of the city, S/Sgt. Dix organized a relief force, successfully rescued the nurse, and returned her to the safety of the Tactical Operations Center. Being informed of other trapped civilians within the city, S/Sgt. Dix voluntarily led another force to rescue 8 civilian employees located in a building which was under heavy mortar and small-arms fire. S/Sgt. Dix then returned to the center of the city. Upon approaching a building, he was subjected to intense automatic rifle and machine gun fire from an unknown number of Viet Cong. He personally assaulted the building, killing 6 Viet Cong, and rescuing 2 Filipinos. The following day S/Sgt. Dix, still on his own volition, assembled a 20-man force and though under intense enemy fire cleared the Viet Cong out of the hotel, theater, and other adjacent buildings within the city. During this portion of the attack, Army Republic of Vietnam soldiers inspired by the heroism and success of S/Sgt. Dix, rallied and commenced firing upon the Viet Cong. S/Sgt. Dix captured 20 prisoners, including a high ranking Viet Cong official. He then attacked enemy troops who had entered the residence of the Deputy Province Chief and was successful in rescuing the official's wife and children. S/Sgt. Dix's personal heroic actions resulted in 14 confirmed Viet Cong killed in action and possibly 25 more, the capture of 20 prisoners, 15 weapons, and the rescue of the 14 United States and free world civilians. The heroism of S/Sgt. Dix was in the highest tradition and reflects great credit upon the U.S. Army.

Surviving Columbus (Parts 1 and 2)
Late one afternoon in May 1539, the world of the Pueblo Indians changed forever when Estebanico - a Black slave from Morocco - and his 300 retinue of Mexican Indians marched into the Zuni city of Hawikuh. Through wild tales and exaggerations, Hawikuh would be transformed into one of the fabled Seven Golden Cities of Cibola, and a year later, Coronado and his soldiers would wreak destruction and violence on this peaceful world in search of non existent gold. Surviving Columbus is a search for the Pueblo people's view of these first encounters with European civilization, told exclusively through the voices and visions of the Pueblo Indians.

Lost City Of Native Tewa People Rediscovered - Ancient History Is Much Different Than We Think
The name Tewa refers to linguistically related American Indian peoples who live in seven distinct communities referred to as pueblos, the name applied to them by the Spanish colonists in the late 1500s.
The Tewa-speaking Pueblo peoples live, as they have since aboriginal times, in the southwestern United States. Six Tewa pueblos are located adjacent to the Rio Grande in central/north-central New Mexico and one is located on a mesa in northeastern Arizona. The New Mexico Tewa pueblos are San Juan Pueblo, Santa Clara Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo, Tesuque Pueblo, Pojoaque Pueblo, and Nambe Pueblo. The Arizona Pueblo, referred to as Hopi-Tewa because their culture is similar to the Hopi on First Mesa, is Hano at First Mesa. The Hano Tewa lived in New Mexico until they fled following the 1696 Pueblo Revolt (see Hopi and Hopi-Tewa for more information).

Leah and I are two humans who no longer support the inhuman, oligarchic empire model destroying our planet and our true nature as human beings. As activists we decided to do something about it, so we opted out of our former lives to begin anew. We are currently transforming pristine alpine wilderness into a self-sustaining homestead and organic farm in preparation for the upcoming collapse. We plan on developing and executing every single step of the process in open source format for the benefit of all humanity. With our backgrounds in academia and the sciences (climatology, geology, physics, biology, chemistry, and more) we hope to uncover the lies perpetrated by the mass media. It will be presented here and on our website in a systematic and thorough process. As you can imagine, this is a multifaceted, lifelong project, and we are so passionately excited to take the next steps towards self sufficiency and our dream! Won't you join us?

Preventing Suicidal Behavior in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States and suicide rates have increased more than 30 percent since 2000. Among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI and AN) communities, suicide rates are even higher than among the general population, and they are highest among youth and young adults, ages 15–34.

Tragedy: A Food Desert Driving Tour of West Knoxville
Alternate title: Food Desert in Paradise
According to the US Department of Agriculture, almost all citizens of Knoxville, TN are trapped in one food desert or another.
The Knoxville Metropolitan Planning Commission agrees and they note the same desert examined in this video too:
knoxfood.org/knox-county-20-food-deserts
I took a driving tour of one of them, it meets the original measure of a food desert: Low Income, and Low Access to food at 1 mile (urban area measure). The thing is, West Knoxville might be low income compared to the District of Columbia, Manhattan or San Francisco, but it is one of the pricer parts of town to live.
How they are measuring access is a bit of a puzzle too. Not even a Kroger store the immediate area will eliminate a food desert, save for one Kroger at Knox Plaza located in the midst of some very pricey real estate. Not so with Super Walmart, Super Target, a food co-op, or a variety of ethnic stores. Still other parts of town with expensive homes are designated food deserts, but when you get into the very wealthy areas they lose that designation.
Unless you have a Kroger in your front yard, or you are a professor at the local university (their favorite neighborhoods escaped desert status) you are in a food desert around here.
As you will see in the video, the following grocers all operate within the food desert. Combined they provide incredible variety that should please any rich white liberal. They provide both variety and value that any normal person would love also.
Trader Joe's #663
Target store #151
Lucky Asian Mart
Mi Pueblo Super Mercado
India Market
The term food desert is nothing more than empty alarmist leftist garbage. The only way to eliminate them for this tract is to violate local zoning laws, knock down some houses, and build grocery stores every half mile.
The Trader Joe's was featured in this Glenn Reynolds post:
Women Groups In Brooklyn Take The Streets, Free the Children, Now
No Racist, No Fear; Refugees Are Welcome, Here. What does Democracy Look like? This is What democracy Looks like. What We Want? Free the Children, Now-These are the slogans the members of more than dozen of City's women groups were chanting trembling the sky in Bayridge last Tuesday, July 2, 2019; protesting the current administration's immigration policies and mistreatment of the detained immigrants including thousands of children.
Zainab Iqbal of Brooklyner reports as follows:
People across the nation gathered in their neighborhoods to protest against the border camps on Tuesday. The hashtag #CloseTheCamps was created and in Brooklyn, about 200 neighbors gathered outside Congressman Max Rose’s office urging him to do better.
“What’s outrageous? Kids in cages,” protestors shouted yesterday, July 2, at around 4 p.m. They had three demands for the congressman: Close the camps, defund detention centers, and reunite families.
Rose had voted in support of H.R.3401, which allows for “$4.5 billion in FY2019 emergency supplemental appropriations to federal departments and agencies for humanitarian assistance and security to respond to migrants attempting to enter the United States at the southern border.”
The bill provides appropriations for the following:
• U.S. Customs and Border Protection
• U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• Federal Emergency Management Agency
Rose’s constituents weren’t so happy. Many held signs stating, “Hey, Max. Wanna be a problem solver? Close the camps!” and “Sorry—I can’t hear your family values over your children in detention!”
The weekday protest was hosted by several local groups and organizations, many of whom advocated fiercely for electing Rose during the elections, including the Arab American Association of NY, Above Ground Railroad Staten Island & Brooklyn, Action Corps, Bay Ridge for Social Justice, Dream Action Coalition, El Centro del Inmigrante, Fight Back Bay Ridge, La Colmena, NY Immigration Coalition, NYS Immigration Action Fund, Peace Action Staten Island, South Brooklyn DSA, South Brooklyn Progressive Resistance, Staten Island Immigrants’ Council, Staten Island Women Who March, Move Forward Staten Island, Union of Arab Women, Yalla Brooklyn, and Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA).
YAMA’s Advocacy Director Ayyad Algabyali, who led many of the chants, read aloud a statement by YAMA. For that, he turned to face Rose’s office.

“We are saddened by the position you have taken on the horrendous camps on our country’s borders. We are witnessing the injustices of what those migrants are facing on our border,” he said. “You have been a champion for our community, Max Rose. Especially for the Yemeni-American community. You have fought against…the Muslim ban and the Trump administration. And we want you to keep fighting for those people on our borders.”
“We want you to keep fighting for those families and bring them together and represent our American values,” he continued.
During the protest, the names of the six migrant children who died in US custody were read aloud in a powerful moment. It was met with a moment of silence and shouts of “shame.”
“We have the duty to fight for our freedom. We have the duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains,” people chanted in the heat throughout the hour and a half rally.

USDA Partners With UK to Establish National Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and University of Kentucky officials announce the establishment of the USDA Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The center will use cutting-edge solutions in child nutrition to reduce child food insecurity in states with the highest number of persistently poor rural counties. Currently, about 85 percent of all persistently poor counties in the United States are in rural areas, and children are one of the most vulnerable groups living in rural areas.
The Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center underscores this administration's focus on addressing poverty and food insecurity among children in rural areas where hunger and obesity are too common, said Vilsack. The center will make it possible for children in rural areas to access much-needed nutrition assistance and help close the large food insecurity gap between urban and rural communities.
This program will target child hunger and poverty in persistently poor rural communities by partnering with agencies who have the resources and expertise to make a difference, said Gov. Beshear. This program will do more than offer aid. It will attack the root causes of child hunger and poverty.
In the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, part of our core mission as a land grant institution is to improve the lives of our citizens, said Dean Nancy Cox. We are honored the USDA has chosen us to be their partner in this extremely important endeavor to reduce child food insecurity in persistently poor rural counties in Kentucky and several other states.
With USDA's investment of $2.5 million, the Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center will administer and evaluate a series of sub-grants targeted to as many as 30 rural areas with high poverty rates in up to 15 states. The communities will use the funds to better coordinate existing child nutrition programs and create solutions to target child food insecurity. The University of Kentucky will partner with Altarum Institute and the Southern Rural Development Center to develop the center.
This announcement is part of the Obama administration's continuing efforts to combat poverty and food insecurity among children, especially in rural areas. In Kentucky alone, over 26 percent of children live in poverty. In 2014, President Obama designated Eastern Kentucky as a Promise Zone, to receive integrated federal efforts to create jobs, increase economic security, expand educational opportunities, increase access to quality, affordable housing and improve public safety through local community partnerships. Seventy-three counties in Kentucky are also part of the USDA's StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity, a strategic approach to addressing the unique set of challenges faced by many of America's poorest rural communities.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service administers America's nutrition assistance programs, including the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Summer Food Service Program, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Together these programs make up the federal nutrition safety net. USDA's focus on nutrition and obesity is also an important component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative to combat childhood obesity.
