Cycle Maryland
Governor O'Malley, joined by Queen Anne's County Commission President Steven J. Arentz, Bike Maryland Executive Director Carol Silldorff, members of Maryland's cycling community, and others, officially kicked-off the Cycle Maryland initiative at the Chesapeake Exploration Center in Chester.
I am pleased to announce a new interactive initiative to encourage Marylanders to enjoy cycling, said Governor O'Malley. By getting out and taking a bike ride, we can learn to enjoy more of Maryland's natural treasures, help reduce the impact on the land, improve our fitness and well-being, and enhance our quality of life.
Before biking along the Cross Island Trail, the Governor also announced a new interactive map that allows users to view the many bike trails and routes in Maryland and plan their cycling trips. Cyclists now have one central location to find places to bike using the various layers of the map, including the BLOC rating feature (Bike Level of Comfort) on state-owned roadways, points of interest, and information on the Maryland Trails Plan. Additionally, there will be an online survey of Maryland's biking community to improve upon the existing map to make it more user-friendly for cyclists.
The selected events for 'Cycle Maryland' showcase Maryland's cycling diversity, says Margot Amelia, Executive Director of the Maryland Office of Tourism. From family-friendly recreational rides on newly opened rail trails to highly competitive long-distance road races, these routes take visitors on an up-close and personal journey through some of the most scenic landscapes in Maryland.
Bike Maryland Executive Director Carol Silldorff joined the Governor in supporting biking in Maryland.
We promote bicycling because planning and public health research all indicate that the best places to bike are the best places to live, said Silldorff. We know that bike friendly places allow people of all ages, races and economic backgrounds to enjoy healthy recreational opportunities and to travel via bicycle to and from destinations in their communities.
All Marylanders are encouraged to attend other Cycle Maryland events now through October 9, 2011. At today's event, the Governor announced a contest sponsored by the Maryland Office of Tourism and the Maryland State Highway Administration that invites participants to post pictures of themselves at events on Facebook to be eligible for a $250 VISA gift card. Prize winners will be randomly drawn from all eligible entries. The winners will be notified on or about October 31.
Cycle Maryland also involves a social media campaign. Connect with us on Facebook and follow CycleMaryland on Twitter and use hashtag #CycleMD to join the conversation.
Chester River Watershed Observatory Dedication
The Chester River Watershed Observatory will make the Chester the most studied, best understood waterway on the continent. Governor O'Malley comes to town May 30 for the dedication.
CHESTERTOWN, MD — Governor Martin O'Malley and top environmental advocates and scientists will gather on the banks of the Chester River on Friday afternoon, May 30, to help Washington College dedicate a bold new initiative that is poised to become a national model for watershed stewardship.
The public is welcome to join the inauguration of the Chester River Watershed Observatory (CRWO), which will begin at 2 p.m. next to the College boathouse, 445 S. Cross Street. In addition to an official ribbon cutting, the event will include the launch of an observation buoy, and informational displays about other project components such as autonomous kayaks and underwater vehicles. Among those joining Gov. O'Malley at the CRWO's dedication will be Rebecca W. Rimel, president and CEO of the Pew Charitable Trusts, and Patrick F. Noonan, former president of The Nature Conservancy and the Conservation Fund.
Created and administered by the College's Center for Environment & Society in collaboration with Hach Hydromet (a Danaher company that specializes in water-quality analysis and equipment), multiple federal, state, and regional institutions and agencies, the CRWO will connect surrounding communities to the river's future and provide more thorough information on which to base decisions that will positively affect the river and, ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay.
This initiative is based on three interconnected platforms:
Information: The CRWO supports a series of buoys, monitoring stations, research vessels, and autonomous craft that will record a wealth of data about the river, from its headwaters to its mouth at the Chesapeake Bay, several times a day, every day. Coupled with monitoring of variables such as weather events, fish migrations, and land-based factors including agricultural practices, the data will be accessible to schools, citizens, agencies, organizations, and scientists through a website developed in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observation System (MARACOOS).
Education: The CES is working with nearly 40 educators in Kent and Queen Anne's counties to teach data-gathering techniques and to develop K-12 lesson plans that incorporate the CRWO. As students progress through grades, their data-gathering and analysis skills will grow more sophisticated. By graduation they will have a 12-year dataset, experience in building robotics and conducting field research, and a deep personal connection to, and understanding of, the Chester River and the Chesapeake Bay.
Collaboration: The project draws on the expertise and cooperation of many, including CES staff led by Director John Seidel and Deputy Director Doug Levin; the director of the College's GIS lab, Stewart Bruce; the College's environmental sciences and biology faculty; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Geological Survey; the Maryland Department of Education and Department of Natural Resources; the University of Maryland, University of Delaware, the U.S. Naval Academy, and Rutgers University; Kent and Queen Anne counties public and private schools; the Chester River Field Research Station at Chino Farms, Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge, the Chester River Association, and the Chesapeake Conservancy.
This pioneering initiative will give us a much more holistic understanding of the complexities of this watershed, and by extension, the Chesapeake Bay, says Gov. O'Malley. By involving our children in hands-on science as early as kindergarten, and growing their knowledge and skills every year, the Observatory will not only help our State reach our restoration goal, it will create a foundational change in our stewardship of this river and the Bay.
CES director Seidel says the Center bases its programming on the knowledge that science alone cannot solve environmental problems. For our society to solve these difficult environmental problems like threatened rivers, we have to consider the social, cultural, political, and economic factors as well as the scientific evidence. The Chester River Watershed Observatory will help local citizens and civic leaders understand the river in a visceral, tangible way. That can lead to better stewardship.
The project's scale and closely integrated educational components make it a national model for how to understand and manage other bodies of water, says Levin at the CES. The aim is to make the Chester the best understood river in North America, if not the world. And the method is something that can be used as a template anywhere in the world, in watersheds of any size.

Gwynn Oak Park DVD - Riding the Roller Coaster
DVD available at
This is an excerpt from Gwynn Oak Park - Final Days on DVD. In the 1940s and 50s, filmmaker Bill Spicer lived on Rogers Avenue in West Baltimore, just blocks away from the classic amusement park. Setting adjacent to the Gwynn Falls stream, the park met its demise in June 1972 during Hurricane Agnes. Bill covered the story for WJZ-TV while working as an Eyewitness News cameraman. He then nostalgically revisited the abandoned park in 1974 to film what remained. It was leveled shortly thereafter.
Years later Bill combined the footage he shot with his old home movies. The result is a 7-minute short film on DVD that features haunting flashbacks from Gwynn Oak's happier times in the 1960s to its final days in 1974. It evokes memories and makes a great gift for a family member or friend!

SUMMARY
=======
The United States Naval Academy (also known as USNA, Annapolis, or simply Navy) is a four-year coeducational federal service academy adjacent to Annapolis, Maryland. Established on 10 October 1845, under Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, it is the second oldest of the United States' five service academies, and educates officers for commissioning primarily into the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. The 338-acre (137 ha) campus is located on the former grounds of Fort Severn at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, 33 miles (53 km) east of Washington, D.C. and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Baltimore. The entire campus (known to insiders as the Yard) is a National Historic Landmark and home to many historic sites, buildings, and monuments. It replaced Philadelphia Naval Asylum, in Philadelphia, that served as the first United States Naval Academy from 1838 to 1845 when the Naval Academy formed in Annapolis.Candidates for admission generally must both apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a Member of Congress. Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as midshipmen. Tuition for midshipmen is fully funded by the Navy in exchange for an active duty service obligation upon graduation. Approximately 1,200 plebes (an abbreviation of the Ancient Roman word plebeian) enter the Academy each summer for the rigorous Plebe Summer. About 1,000 midshipmen graduate. Graduates are usually commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps, but a small number can also be cross-commissioned as officers in other U.S. services, and the services of allied nations. The United States Naval Academy has some of the highest paid graduates in the country according to starting salary. The academic program grants a bachelor of science degree with a curriculum that grades midshipmen's performance upon a broad academic program, military leadership performance, and mandatory participation in competitive athletics. Midshipmen are required to adhere to the academy's Honor Concept.
Driving through Wheeling, West Virginia on Route 2
West Virginia Route 2 is a state highway in the US state of West Virginia. It generally parallels the Ohio River along the western border of the state, from U.S. Route 60 in Huntington (just west of the East End Bridge) northeasterly to U.S. Route 30 in Chester (just south of the Jennings Randolph Memorial Bridge).
WV 2 leaves the shores of the Ohio River in two places: between Point Pleasant and Mount Alto (where West Virginia Route 62 follows the river) and between Ravenswood and Waverly (where West Virginia Route 68 mostly follows the river). The entire route is included as a part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.

SUMMARY
=======
Delaware ( (listen)) is one of the 50 states of the United States, in the Mid-Atlantic or Northeastern region. It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland, to the north by Pennsylvania, and to the east by New Jersey and the Atlantic Ocean. The state takes its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and Virginia's first colonial governor.Delaware occupies the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. It is the second smallest and sixth least populous state, but the sixth most densely populated. Delaware's largest city is Wilmington. The state is divided into three counties, the lowest number of any state. From north to south, they are New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County. While the southern two counties have historically been predominantly agricultural, New Castle County is more industrialized.
Before its coastline was explored by Europeans in the 16th century, Delaware was inhabited by several groups of Native Americans, including the Lenape in the north and Nanticoke in the south. It was initially colonized by Dutch traders at Zwaanendael, near the present town of Lewes, in 1631. Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution. On December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, and has since been known as The First State.

SUMMARY
=======
Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey; c. February 1818 – February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. In his time, he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave.Douglass wrote several autobiographies. He described his experiences as a slave in his 1845 autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which became a bestseller, and was influential in promoting the cause of abolition, as was his second book, My Bondage and My Freedom (1855). After the Civil War, Douglass remained an active campaigner against slavery and wrote his last autobiography, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. First published in 1881 and revised in 1892, three years before his death, it covered events during and after the Civil War. Douglass also actively supported women's suffrage, and held several public offices. Without his approval, Douglass became the first African American nominated for Vice President of the United States as the running mate and Vice Presidential nominee of Victoria Woodhull, on the Equal Rights Party ticket.Douglass was a firm believer in the equality of all peoples, whether black, female, Native American, or recent immigrant. He was also a believer in dialogue and in making alliances across racial and ideological divides, and in the liberal values of the U.S. Constitution. When radical abolitionists, under the motto No Union With Slaveholders, criticized Douglass' willingness to dialogue with slave owners, he famously replied: I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.

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
=======
Richmond () is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. It is the center of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the Greater Richmond Region. Richmond was incorporated in 1742 and has been an independent city since 1871.
As of the 2010 census, the city's population was 204,214; in 2016, the population was estimated to be 223,170, making Richmond the fourth-most populous city in Virginia. The Richmond Metropolitan Area has a population of 1,260,029, the third-most populous metro in the state.
Richmond is located at the fall line of the James River, 44 miles (71 km) west of Williamsburg, 66 miles (106 km) east of Charlottesville, 100 miles (160 km) east of Lynchburg and 98 miles (158 km) south of Washington, D.C. Surrounded by Henrico and Chesterfield counties, the city is located at the intersections of Interstate 95 and Interstate 64, and encircled by Interstate 295 and Virginia State Route 288. Major suburbs include Midlothian to the southwest, Chesterfield to the south, Varina to the southeast, Sandston to the east, Glen Allen to the north and west, Short Pump to the west and Mechanicsville to the northeast.
The site of Richmond had been an important village of the Powhatan Confederacy, and was briefly settled by English colonists from Jamestown in 1609, and in 1610–1611. The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780, replacing Williamsburg. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in the city, including Patrick Henry's Give me liberty or give me death speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom written by Thomas Jefferson. During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the second and permanent capital of the Confederate States of America. The city entered the 20th century with one of the world's first successful electric streetcar systems. The Jackson Ward neighborhood is a national hub of African-American commerce and culture.
Richmond's economy is primarily driven by law, finance, and government, with federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as notable legal and banking firms, located in the downtown area. The city is home to both the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, one of 13 United States courts of appeals, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, one of 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Dominion Energy and WestRock, Fortune 500 companies, are headquartered in the city, with others in the metropolitan area.
