We're not sitting here for one issue or the other, but for fighting things that bother us in our everyday lives. Mostly, however, we work to reduce, remove and recycle waste. We also work with urban villages, employment issues, welfare of animals and people, and plant trees wherever we go.
Basically - we're determined to make a difference.
Here are a few things that will give you an idea of who we are and what we do:
1. Vatavaran started working in 1991 and was registered in 1994 by Dr. Iqbal Malik. *
2. We work with sensitivity, passion, commitment and use a multi-pronged, down to earth approach to stop exploitation of natural resources, excessive waste generation, disposable culture and to resolve problems like disorderliness, congestion, noise pollution, solid waste and sewage mismanagement, barren and desolate lands, water woes, unkempt historic structures and upkeep of the stray dogs in the areas we work in.
3. We are strictly not for profit
4. We believe in decentralization. We create models for people to replicate and spread the word with. This could relate to something as big as working with a whole urban village or teaching you how to make a vermin-pit. We promote self-sustenance.
5. We believe in fair trade. Everything we do is geared towards generating more for people (in terms of amenities, employment), and more for the environment (more trees, less waste).
6. We work for the upkeep of stray animals of the area work in.
7.. Vatavaran works with individuals, communities, organizations, families, kids, teachers, fortunate, less fortunate, educated, not-so-educated, and anyone who wants to get their hands dirty!
8. We train, we teach, we maintain, we check up, and we also leave you to your devices when we know you're good to go!
To put it simply, we want to live in an ideal world, where we give back what we consume from nature, where we don't interfere in the natural workings of the environment, where we respect our 'vatavaran' and live in it, as a part of it, not trying to conquer and alter it all the time!
If there's something you want to know about us and can't find on the website, email us and we'll try and get the information to you!
Cooridinator NGO Forum to save Delhi Ridge (Coordinated an ubrella body from 1991 to 1994, consisting of 21 NGO's of Dlehi to save Delhi Ridge, Delhi's only natural forest. Involved the masses in campagins and later the students helped in greening when in may 1994 Delhi Ridge finally became a Reserve Forest. The forum was dissolved.

Dr. Ms. Iqbal Malik, Founder & Executive Director
Dr. Iqbal Malik, an action woman with a multi-faceted personality, flamboyant appearance and a mission to reach out to people, works for a fair, equal, environmentally conscious, self-sustaining society. She has 35 reports, many book chapters and over 300 popular articles in Indian and international Newsprint to her credit
Her concerns are vast. Poor garbage management and the increasing use of plastics upsets her. So does noise and vehicular pollution or carelessly discarded hospital syringes and bandages which return to medical system in fresh packages, or Indian blood banks selling infected blood. Malik is a phenomenon because she is a doer. Though she has given over 200 talks on radio, television, universities, schools, communities, clubs, and corporate houses, Iqbal is a shy, hard working, warm, compassionate, well-traveled, innovative person determined to lead a model life.
She is the first woman primatologist in India who chose the wild monkeys as her subject for her doctorate. When the whole country was talking about langurs as the answer to monkey problems, she, as member Wildlife Board of India, was the lone voice who said the langur experiment was another of the government's many mistakes. She has spent 30 years studying and rehabilitating monkeys. She has the privilege of being the founder member of CPCSEA (Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals), CZA (Central Zoo Authority) and Vatavaran NGO. She is famous in India. Apart from being written about, tens of thousands viewers have seen her talking of her concerns on TV.

Member hink tank about Vatavaran. Guiding Vatavaran on greening urban infrastructure.
Seema Arora: "I am just the result of all of the important influences in my life - All of you have spent your lives trying to improve the world; is it any surprise that I want to do the same?
But in addition to all of your influences, I think part of it is also that my first job outside of college was for a private sector company, where we worked so hard for such silly things - helping companies decide how to expand their businesses, and ultimately how to make more money. All of that work just for money always seemed like such a waste of effort to me. I understand the importance of money - I'm not that idealistic, but I just wasn't motivated by it."
Mr. Kamlesh Kumar, Expert: Greening
Mr. Kumar is the more generous person one could meet – both with his patience and his expertise. He is of course known for his green thumbs and his ability to turn anything barren into lush green space. He helps us with our composting, with daily care of plants, healthy saplings, and everything green and organic.
Mr. Gautam Grover, Expert: stray animals
Mr. Grover is a well-known canine expert and has worked relentlessly for the safety and well being of little puppies and big brutes. He has also written a book chapter on First Aid measures for canines. His knowledge and passion are of course, inspiring, but what really means the most to us is his willingness to spare his time and other resources.
Ms. Kadambari Rana, advisor

Q: opencv - face detection on android Im trying to use face dection code of opencv on android
but there are some problems even i clean the project like the others said.
here is the description on the eclipse

The project cannot be built until build path errors are
  resolved  OpenCV Sample - color-blob-detection        Unknown Java Problem
  The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library
  'C:\OpenCV-2.4.3-android-sdk\sdk\java\bin\opencv library -
  2.4.3.jar'    OpenCV Sample - color-blob-detection        Build path  Build Path Problem

A: Its mostly a problem with the path.
Have you checked the path correctly? (Jones suggestion should work for you)
If its correctly set... I would ask you to check the make file in JNI folder and use this full path, and also check the build path -> C++ -> GNU C++ -> add this path (if not already added).
Then you should be able to get this to work.

A: There isn't any .jar to import.
If you follow openCV tutorial (http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/android_binary_package/O4A_SDK.html)
 and import all Samples and Library you should be sure that Library project can be built without error.
In my case I have just set the Android Target at the current release 5.1.1.
To do that, right click on project "OpenCV Library - 2.4.11"->Properties->Android->Select Android 5.1.1->Apply

tames start to hover on board when you raise the anchor. raise the anchor and check on your tames. make sure they're standing on deck properly. this also can happen after changing servers. that's why i check on my tames everytime i cross a server border. and yes - i pretty much experienced most of what's described above. had a horse on deck that disappeared all of a sudden while crew members went through the bottom of the ship bouncing up and down like a super ball on speed. shoulder pets are safe to the most extent when they're locked in a confined cabin during transition. nonetheless they start to float or go through the floor or ceiling when raising or dropping the anchor. all this is not ideal but it helps to prevent the loss of precious tames. ever since i go and check after my tames i never lost any again. leave alone the monkeys who came off my shoulder due to a disconnect and that i forgot to pick up when sailing on.
don't waste your time reading - you won't understand anything anyway. head outside and knock over some cows or chop wood.

Econ-ML: Econometric Machine Learning for better Heterogeneity Representation
2022-2024: Modeling behavioral patterns of commuters and their decision-making process is crucial to develop sustainable and effective transport policies, predict and forecast the travel mode choices of a certain population with respect to changes in some attributes or components of the transportation system, and determine the different sources of heterogeneity in tastes and preferences. Econ-ML is about developing hybrid frameworks that combine several machine learning techniques with econometric discrete choice models to better account for different aspects of unobserved heterogeneity within a population such as systematic and random taste variations in addition to market segmentation.

Proactive traffic control through AI and Big Data (DFF)
2022-2025: Reinforcement learning (RL) constitutes a promising solution for alleviating the problem of traffic congestion and associated greenhouse gas emissions by producing adaptive traffic signal controllers that outperform conventional systems. However, the existing solutions are merely reactive. This project aims at developing a new generation of proactive traffic control approaches by integrating into a RL framework a novel fully-Bayesian context-aware traffic prediction model that can forecast the future evolution of traffic and provide uncertainty estimates for its predictions while accounting for contextual information (e.g. about planned events, incidents and weather) traffic network flow theory and the traffic signal control actions.

eMOTIONAL Cities: Mapping the cities through the senses of those who make them (Horizon 2020)
2021-2025: As the world is becoming more urbanized and cities of the future need to be people-centred, robust evidence-based knowledge on the underlying biological and psychological processes, by which Urban Planning & Design influence brain circuits and human behaviour, will be critical for policy making on urban health. Emotions are key drivers of our decisions; similarly, our choices are the conduit for our well-being and health. The eMOTIONAL Cities project aims to provide scientific evidence on how the natural and built urban environment shapes the neural system underlying human cognitive and emotional processing, with a perspective that also incorporates age, gender and vulnerable groups' specificities.
SortedMOBILITY: Self-Organized Rail Traffic for the Evolution of Decentralized MOBILITY
2021-2024: SORTEDMOBILITY proposes a holistic approach for self-organizing management of public transport in urban and interurban areas, focusing on rail as a mobility backbone. Simulations will assess the self-organization approach in case studies in Denmark, Italy, and France. They will integrate advanced methods for passenger demand prediction and rail traffic modeling. In a close collaboration between academic and key rail stakeholders, SORTEDMOBILITY will showcase the future of railways while producing guidelines and recommendations to support future public transport systems.
BOON: Behavior Oracle for always-ON electrical mobility (DFF)
2021-2023: Electric Vehicles are increasingly adopted as part of a global transition to greener mobility, which in turn requires further charging infrastructure. This dependency is in fact circular, as new infrastructure encourages further EV adoption, and vice versa. The BOON project aims at effective planning of charging network expansion through modeling of charging demand and corresponding optimization of charging supply. For demand modeling, BOON shall develop novel data-driven Machine Learning methods for incremental learning, while accounting for inherent limitations in the observability of charging demand. On the supply side, BOON shall develop demand-responsive optimization algorithms for network expansion, involving both fixed charging stations and mobile chargers.
SHOW: SHared automation Operating models for Worldwide adoption (H2020)
2020-2024: SHOW aims to support the migration path towards affective and persuasive sustainable urban transport, through technical solutions, business models and priority scenarios for impact assessment, by deploying shared, connected, cooperative, electrified fleets of autonomous vehicles in coordinated Public Transport (PT), Demand Responsive Transport (DRT), Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Logistics as a Service (LaaS) operational chains in real-life urban demonstrations in 5 Mega, 6 Satellite and 3 Follower Pilots taking place in 20 cities across Europe.
NOSTROMO: NEXT-GENERATION OPEN-SOURCE TOOLS FOR ATM PERFORMANCE MODELLING AND OPTIMISATION (SESAR)
2020-2022: The ATM system is composed of elements that interact with each other generating a number of properties characteristic of complex adaptive systems. NOSTROMO aims to develop new approaches to ATM performance modeling able to reconcile model transparency, computational tractability, and ease of use with the necessary sophistication required for a realistic representation of the ATM system.
Smart Mobility Management and Operation under Tradable Credit Scheme
2019-2022: Historically, inefficiencies such as congestion and vehicular emissions have been generally addressed with information provision and pricing. Recently, quantity control has been under the spotlight in transportation research, leveraging from successful applications in other economic sectors, such as the communications, energy, or environmental sectors. Limited supply is in the end a scarcity problem that can be dealt with a price instrument, a quantity instrument, or a combination of both, such as tradable credit schemes (TCS). Within a TCS system, a regulator provides an initial endowment of mobility credits to all potential travelers. In order to use a transportation system, users need to spend a certain number of permits (i.e.: tariff) that could vary with the conditions/performance of the specific mobility alternative used. The permits can be bought and sold in a market that is monitored by the regulator at a price that is determined by demand and supply interactions. In this project, we aim at leveraging the existing theoretical foundation on TCS and focus on its potential deployment and impact assessment in a realistic setting. The project will be rooted around the implementation in realistic simulation applications. Other data sources, namely from controlled experiments to be designed by the team, can be incorporated into the project to further test the developed frameworks. Read More
SHARE-MORE: SHAREd MObility REwards (EIT Urban Mobility)
2020-2020: SHARE-MORE aims to optimize the added value of car-sharing services and promote a portfolio of transport services that enable and encourage sustainable urban mobility. The effectiveness and sustainability of car-sharing integration into the bundle of transportation services will be achieved by understanding the needs of the three main stakeholders: travelers, transport authorities, and service providers, and by providing personalized incentives tailored to the needs of all three stakeholders. The incentives will be designed to increase car-sharing efficient use while contributing to the integration with the existing overall transportation system and its sustainability.
The project will balance the needed knowledge base through its consortium consisting of universities, cities, and car-sharing commercial companies to understand the underlying mechanisms of potential incentive designs, develop a specific incentive scheme, and pilot the proposed scheme within a real car-sharing service.
Integrated Learning and Optimization for Mobility and Transportation Services (ILOMYTS)
2019-2022: In this interdisciplinary project, we follow an integrated approach and build on concepts from data-driven optimization, stochastic programming, and machine learning to develop decision support with the application to transportation and mobility, in particular for bike- and car-sharing. Based on bike- and car-sharing data from the cities of Copenhagen and Munich, exploration and exploitation methods and active learning concepts will be developed to support strategic and operational decision-making with regard to capacity, inventory positioning, and resource rebalancing under uncertainty in large systems with distributed (competitive) decision making. This integrated approach requires knowledge from the disciplines of transportation and management as well as from stochastic optimization and machine learning.
Machine learning methods for transportation under uncertainty
2018-2021: The goal of the project is to develop and study effective modeling methods for Transportation under uncertainty scenarios. This is motivated by both the prevalence of uncertainty in Transportation and the widespread use of Transportation models in practice, e.g., for traffic management, planning of mobility services, and operation of Public Transport. We approach this goal through Machine Learning, namely, our proposed methods extract patterns from data and leverage them for better modeling.
Autonomous Shuttles On-Campus
2017-2020: In 2019, autonomous shuttles will start operating in DTU Lyngby campus as part of LINC: the largest test of autonomous shuttles in Denmark. The goal of our project is to dynamically predict where and when passengers would like to use the shuttles for traveling on-campus using a variety of machine learning methods.
2017-2018: PRISM is about designing, implementing and testing methodologies to better predict transport demand in a city. While plenty solutions exist today for this objective, there is general consensus that, under stress scenarios (e.g. large social events, inclement weather, demonstrations, special days), those approaches are insufficient. For example, a one-way car sharing (e.g. DriveNow) or an autonomous mobility on demand service, are highly sensitive to rebalancing operations (moving vehicles to where demand is expected).
Traffic-flow & Air Quality Experiment
2017-2018: The experimental project sought to find correlations between traffic management, traffic flow and air quality by measuring the difference between the air pollution levels when cars are waiting for the traffic light to turn green compared to when they are driving through the intersection.
The project succeeded in finding as reliable correlations for NO2 and CO as can be achieved in real-life data gathering.
Tripod (@MIT)
2016-2018: Tripod is a system that incentivizes travelers to pursue specific routes, modes of travel, departure times, ride sharing, trip making, and driving styles in order to reduce energy use. Tripod relies on an app-based travel incentive tool designed to influence users' travel choices by offering them real-time information and rewards.
Extraordinary Queuing detection in Denmark
2016-2017: This project helped the Danish Road Directorate in identifying extraordinary queueing situation in the main roads of Denmark using probe-vehicle data provided by INRIX. The approach consists of anomaly detection algorithms that were optimized based on data provided by the DRD. The developed methodology is currently used in production in the DRD's traffic tower to constantly monitor the conditions of the Danish road network and detect extraordinary queueing situations.
Projects under the TINV3 – Transportens Innovationsnetværk
2014-2017: The TINV3 – Transportens Innovationsnetværk (Transport Innovation Network) helps to strengthen the Danish transport and logistics industry's competitiveness and technological leadership. This research initiative financed a series of research projects covering topics such as:
Prediction intervals for bus arrival times using quantile regression method and deep learning.
Multi-modal visualization for extracting mobility insights.
Anticipating mobility disruptions caused by special events.
Evaluation of Floating Car Data for the Danish Road Directorate
2017: In 2017, the Danish Road Directorate (DRD) considered using a Floating Car Data product, which can observe and predict traffic all over Denmark. Our task was to estimate how reliable and effective the product was. We analyzed data from the product, as gathered from vehicle fleets over 61 days in February-May 2017 in 1250 strategically important road segments.

Don't be deceived by the looks; thick copper not only holds heat longer for better cooking/brewing but is also more durable. Heat wears down copper and thinly made ones will develop a whole and start to leak in a few months. In addition, pots that are made by unskillful workers are prone to a leak from the side where handle is attached. Each wood handle is turned on a lathe and individually stained (color may vary) and attached to our pots with a brass connectors to ensure leak free use for many years. We also make sure that handles do not wobble and are securely attached. Finally our pots, like all copper cookware, are coated with tin inside which is a healthy metal that is required by our bodies. However, tin is not cheap and some manufacturers mix lead with it. We use only 100% lead free tin inside our pots. Each pot is individually wrapped with cellophane to prevent oxidation before shipment so that it is shiny as our pictures when you get it.

Planned emergency communications network advancing
The development of a robust, wireless broadband network for America's first responders is expected to reach a significant milestone in June.
The First Responder Network Authority, or FirstNet, is developing the first high-speed, nationwide, broadband network dedicated to public safety.
Draft plans for segments of the network in each of the 50 states, District of Columbia and five U.S. territories are expected to be released for review in mid to late June.
"That's a huge milestone," says Mike Waldner, FirstNet project manager for the state of South Dakota.
There may be small changes to the state plans before final versions are submitted to governors for final consideration, probably in September. Then, South Dakota and each of the other jurisdictions will have 90 days to decide whether to opt into the national plan or build a compatible network to plug into the national system.
Waldner is guardedly optimistic about the prospective plans for South Dakota.
"It's looking good. I hope they haven't dropped the ball with the state plan. I don't think they have," he says. "I think things are, indeed, going good. But we still have work to do."
Waldner is employed by the South Dakota Bureau of Information and Telecommunications and reports to BIT engineering manager Jeff Pierce. Together, they and other officials are working with FirstNet to help ensure that the planned emergency network works in the state.
Congress authorized to create FirstNet in 2012 as an independent authority within the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The Department just announced in late March that FirstNet will partner with AT&T to build the modern, LTE (4G) network. The $46.5 billion system will significantly improve the nation's hodgepodge system of public safety communications.
South Dakota is fortunate in that it already has pretty good AT&T coverage, Waldner says.
Nationally, the network will provide dedicated, priority communication routes so that law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical services in different locations can talk and exchange data on mobile devices without getting caught up in electronic traffic jams.
FirstNet will help save lives and secure communities in several ways, according to the FirstNet website:
First responders currently rely on more than 10,000 separate, incompatible and often proprietary radio networks to communicate during emergencies. Sharing a single network will improve communications.
Reaching into rural America is a priority of the new system because emergencies don't just happen where people live.
The FirstNet system will allow the transfer of images and videos, in addition to voice, to enhance emergency communications.
Emergency communications will be priority transmissions and will enable responders to communicate without interruption.
FirstNet will enhance public safety by developing a reliable communications system designed to help before, during and after disasters.
The need for a better communications system grew out of challenges that first responders encountered during emergencies such as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. During the bombing at the Boston Marathon, for example, there were tens of thousands of mobile phone users concentrated within a few blocks, and they jammed the airwaves. Emergency responders at the site had trouble communicating.
"The ability to communicate seamlessly across jurisdictions is critical for law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services," according to FirstNet. The new system "will modernize first responders' communications and deliver specialized features that are not available to them on wireless networks today."
Sioux Falls-based SDN Communications and its member companies across South Dakota have a potentially significant stake in FirstNet because they help national carriers provide broadband services.
SDN is a premier regional provider of broadband connectivity, cybersecurity services and related telecommunications solutions for businesses. SDN's 17 member companies are independent telecoms that provide services such as Internet, TV and phone services to residential as well as business customers in communities across South Dakota and into neighboring states.

SDN's 2020 holiday gifting benefits communities
In lieu of holiday gifts this year, SDN is making a charitable contribution in appreciation of our customers to four deserving groups that are doing important work.
211 Helpline available statewide, launches new app
The 211 Helpline program that's often considered the "front door" of the social services system is now available to all South Dakotans thanks to the 2020 Legislative Session. And it couldn't have come at a better time.
Rich Coit says 'so long' after 27 years of leading SDTA
Rich Coit has played an important role in helping rural telecoms across the state to develop broadband connectivity and other telecommunications services for nearly 28 years. He's now moving to the next phase of his life as he retires from the SDTA.
Grants help S.D. make headway to extend lifeline, connect rural areas
With the help of two years of state and federal grant programs, telecoms serving rural South Dakota are adding nearly $100 million in infrastructure and significantly improving broadband services in underserved areas.

We know the time will come when your 16×20 frame will sit empty waiting for another holiday to come along.
It may be sitting empty at this very moment.
Scary thought, I know. But, I think we've fixed that problem.
ETA: this quote is by Tad Carpenter and you can purchase his original print here. Along with some other fun designs found in his shop.
The majority of the stuff you see on Eighteen25 has been printed through our local Costco photo lab. HERE we share a few tips you should remember when placing your order.
Remember, theses are 16×20 files, but print off great as 8×10's too.
Sooo sweet!! I've been loving these printables so much..
Also, did you know you can upload it to Staples ,have it printed, and they will deliver to you for *free*.. Yeppers!!
You are all awesome! I just took my Easter print out…so thank you! Love your blog!!
Oh! This is my favorite by far… Love it!
I love this! Thanks for sharing….and they are in a rainbow of colors! You just keep giving, dont you?
i love that you have offered different color combos!
But I can't download any of them. Every time I try, a message comes up that the page has expired….any chance you could upload to another site. I am a free user of BOX and I am logged in, maybe you can only download if you are a paid user? Sorry! I really really want these.
Thanks! I needed something to put in my frame after Easter! Sweet.
You girls are absolutely AMAZING!! Your blog is one of my happy places!:) Thanks for sharing your talent!
Ok, so honestly you totally ROCK !!! I still have my Spring one sat on my foyer table and was racking my brain trying to figure out what to put there instead, and now problem solved. Thankyou, thankyou and 100 times THANKYOU !!!
I love this. I've been looking for a gift for a friend of mine for a "no gifts" birthday, and you just helped me find it. Not to mention I'm going to print one out for the kitchen my husband is currently repainting. Love it!
Thank you thank you thank you! I was hoping you talented women would come up with something to cover up my Easter print! THANKS!!!
I just have to say yay, Yay, YAY!!!
THANK YOU for the great gift idea for a wedding we're attending this weekend! I was stumped, but now know what to give (along with some $$$ to go towards their first home). I think our moms will be getting a set as well!
Is there a fall/halloween/thanksgiving print yet, or we just haven't gone that far yet? Will you be doing a general "summer" themed filler too? That would be great, as well as a "winter" themed filler. Thanks so much for the great printables, they are awesome!
Thank you! I just ordered the grey +yellow version. The painters just left my newly painted first floor–which is now yellow and grey!
I also made the clipboards for a Teacher Appreciation lunch tomorrow. I will share those pics on my blog soon.
Thank you, thank you!! You ladies have the best things. I simply love your blog. Thank you for this. I know right where I want to put it too.
Thank you again for another great subway art print! I have loved having all of these for my house.
Thank you! This one is great for every day!!
this is my favorite one by far!
I was wondering what I was going to do with that frame! Thanks so much – what a cute print!
I love it!! I grabbed the green and brown subway art. Thank you!!
Love all the color choices, thanks!
I have to admit…I was getting a little impatient to see what the next one would be, so I made one myself…a summery patriotic one!
Feel free to share if you want!
Love you guys! Thank you!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Ive been waiting for something!!
Ooooh yay! I was just wondering what to do with my frame. I've picked a great place for it and love the Easter one, but was hoping for something else to fill it! THANKS!!!
thanks so much! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind letting me know where you got that house from. I'm making tees for my daughter's class at school and I have to have a house on it. This would be PERFECT!!! I love the prints! Can't wait to get it!
I LOVE this! Thanks so much for it!
um can I just tell you how much I love you guys THANKS so much for sharing your talent!!!!
Can you make one for teachers that says "What I love about my CLASSROOM is. . ."? My school colors are black and gold. Thanks.
You guys are AWESOME. Thanks so much….off to print to Costco!
Phew!!! I just hid my frame with my Easter print, panic setting in not knowing what to put in it now! Thanks for coming to the rescue!!!
Funny enough, this morning I was looking at my Easter printable (still in the frame) and was wishing there was an in-between holidays printable. Thanks so much for reading my mind!!
Thank you, yet again, for sharing your talents.
I've been anxiously awaiting a "filler!" . . . and it's so cute! Thanks!!
Oh thank you! I was just looking at my frame yesterday and wishing I had something to fill it with until the next holiday!! You are mind readers!!!
These are sooooo great! I luv 'em!
I was JUST THINKING, "What am I going to do now that Easter's over?" I adore these prints! Thanks for all the hard work!
Love this! Thanks so much! I thought a neat idea would to let my kids make a mother's day subway art in my classroom…unless you were going to post one and then I was going to let them paint a frame? hint hint haha thanks for the beautiful filler!
These are incredibly cute and will make the best gifts! Thanks so much!
You girls are the BEST!!! Thanks!
Your kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, talent, creativity is soooooo appreciated. Thank you very much!! P.S. Look past those selfish requests – we love the surprises in the gifts that you give to us each week. Please don't be disheartened by those ingrates that put in requests!
This is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Thank you so much! One of the prints coordinates with my new bedding perfectly!
Haha! Just today I decided I needed to replace that Easter print! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
oh oh oh… i love this!!!! you guys rock… thank you!!
So, sometimes i have trouble with the colors coming out correct when I send them to Costco to print–like the Easter subway art. It came out with Christmas colors (red/green/gold) rather than pastel colors. Any suggestions?? By the way, I totally copied your Smeeps – stinkin' cute.
Love this! Have no idea which one to print because they are all so awesome!
If you are ever need an idea for a future subway print, there is four line poem that I'm in love with. Hm – maybe I can "hire" you to make it for me!
Just as I was wondering what was coming next, and what in the world you could do since there's not a decorative holiday for awhile, this came along!! Thank you so much! It's so cute!!!
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 4 post on May. 04, 2011. Thanks again.
Love this! My biggest issue is figuring out WHICH color combination I want!
These are great! Thanks so much for sharing them.
no chance you can post this as a .psd with layers so we can adjust the colors to match out decor? Would love this for my family room in lime green, black and dark grey! Thanks!!
I really love your blog and all the creative things you do!
Thanks for always sharing with us!
Carol M. just put me onto your sight! Wow! I got lost here for awhile! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations! You ladies are one talented family!
I love, love, love the subway art! Thank you for making and sharing these with us!
You guys are absolutely AMAZING!!! Thanks for all you do!
I love these! Can't wait to use one, just need to decide which room to hang it up in! I have to agree with a previous poster, I do think it's a little obnoxious when readers but in a very specific request for something!!!! You do this for FREE for us, no need to get bossy/picky! I think if someone wants to request something specific they should ask how much you would charge for a custom design!!!
Thank you~! Love it! Can ya'll tell me where you are printing them? I tried costco but it doesn't upload correctly so i tried staples & can't find a 16.x20. THanks!
Thank You! All of your 16×20 stuff is so fun.
you are sooo kind to share these!
and they are soooo adorable.
thank you again! They bless my home with happiness.
Love the Red & Brown one. Perfect for my family room. thanks!
Thank you! I love all the prints you guys put out!
Grammar police may tell you that to be grammatically correct your sign should read, "What I love most about my home is with whom I share it."
To quote Mrs. Barton, my high school English teacher, "A dangling participle is something up with which I will never put!" She meant it sometimes sounds ridiculously wrong when we say it right.
However, since the American population at large no longer speaks using correct grammar, we can ignore grammar police with impunity, unless we are students in an English class.
French people are not so lucky when they write and speak French in France. They have real government grammar police.
I know this is not a grammar site, so feel free to delete my comment. I just wanted to respond to anonymous.
Anonymous is wrong in diagnosing a dangling participle in the saying. Participles are verbs acting as adjectives and usually end in "ing" or "ed." There is no participle in the saying.
Anonymous is wrong in insisting that the saying not end in a preposition. People talk like that. It is fine to write like that. It is only wrong to end in a preposition if it is an unnecessary preposition. For example "at" and "to" are unnecessary in the sentences, "Where is it at?" and "Where are you going to?"
Anonymous was only right in changing "who" to "whom." "Whom" is an object pronoun and should be used here as the object of the preposition "with." "Who" is a subject pronoun.
No offense intended to you or anonymous. I doubt anonymous meant to be offensive to you either. Some people like to correct perceived mistakes made by others without remembering most people don't like to be corrected.
It is your plaque so let it be written how you talk in your house. You were nice to share your poster with others.
Happy creating and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! This is so great!
LOVE THIS!!! I used it for my photo gallery wall and posted it on my blog. thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys so much for another cute print!! I had a wedding on the 12th of May and I was wanting something quick, easy, and cheap!! I ended up getting that and a frame and it worked out great!!! Thanks again for putting these together and offering them for free!! You Girls are the greatest and I love your blog!!!
the heather blue one with the number 2!!! LOVE IT! I also LOVE the zippee bundle!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talents! You guys are the best. I love this print!

I printed this a while ago and have it up in my frame. thank you. but while searching for ornaments today, I came across this laser-etched etsy listing.
Thank you SO much for sharing this print!! I love it! I found your blog through this post on pinterest and am now hooked!
Thank you!!!! Just love your blog!!
Just found this on pinterest. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Hello and thank you for this! It's just what I have been wanting. But once I went to Costco to download….its not giving me this option (4. Under STEP 3… select the FULL RESOLUTION UPLOAD. Then click on START UPLOAD.). What exactly is the full resolution?
WalMart won't give me my prints because they said I need a release from the person who designed the image saying I have permission to print it. Is there a way to get one?
I took mine to walmart and it printed blotchy…it was the yellow and grey, did i do something wrong or shoyuld i print somewhere else?
I haven't printed at Walmart before, so I'm not sure if they're different from Costco, where you have to make sure they don't autocorrect the colors on your photos. If you don't have a Costco membership, I would just ask them about that at Walmart.
Wow!! They sure are. Thank you for letting us know about that.
So sorry Kristen… We don't have access to the original digital print anymore. 🙁 Sorry!


I'll admit that I rolled my eyes when I first saw the now-famous Disney Princess scene in the trailers for Ralph Breaks the Internet. You know the one: Vanellope Von Schweetz meets Belle, Jasmine, Moana, Cinderella, and several other princesses as they make self-referential jokes about the ordeals they've experienced. But while the trailer made it seem slightly crass, the scene plays much better in context and the princesses actually end up factoring into the plot; the movie gives them more to do than just lounge around in pajamas.
But after the princesses' warm reception in the movie, would the studio consider making an entire animated Disney Princess spin-off movie? The Ralph Breaks the Internet directors say it's "an idea worth exploring." But don't get your hopes up too much…yet.
Knowing Disney, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there actually are conversations about uniting these characters again in some form. The princesses are one of the studio's biggest merchandising juggernauts, there's a built-in nostalgia factor, and Ralph Breaks the Internet showed that they can still work in a modern context. That's a jackpot situation for Disney, who is always looking for content that boosts the company's key brands.
Typically when the idea of any spin-off is floated, we wonder if the character in question will be able to hold the focus of a story on their own. That notion seems moot in this case, since these princesses have already held up several stories individually. It seems inevitable that some sort of Disney Princess team-up will happen eventually. So will it be a theatrical event (maybe even in live-action?) or a show/movie designed specifically for Disney+? After all, the villains are about to get their time in the spotlight, so it'll probably only be a matter of time before the Princesses unite once again.


Facebook. Have you heard of it? I was one of the MySpace -> Facebook crew. Let's talk about this Social Media giant and how it can be used.
Social Media. Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. Pinterest. I'm fairly certain you're familiar with those names.
Branding hasn't been much of an issue for Social Media. Most everyone at least knows about them, what they are and even their branding images – even if they don't actively participate.
You can find those little Social Media icons and buttons all over the internet. Like us here, Share us there, Follow us everywhere.
Everybody uses Social Media and they recognize the social media buttons and icons.
For example on this website, you can find ways to share articles on your favorite social site – just scroll down. And up top? You can see links to my various social sites as well.
Do these little social graphics actually have any effect, aside from being a clickable way to share?
Some recent research suggests they do.
A joint study by the University of Miami School of Business Administration, Empirica Research and StyleCaster Media Group hints that consumers are affected by these little jewels…Subconsciously.
When social media icons were in close proximity to items that users would be proud to show off, such as sportswear or fragrances, it was found that users were 25% more likely to make a purchase.
However the flip side seemed also to be true. When those social buttons were near items that might embarrass them, like a weight-loss product or acne medication, users were 25% less likely to buy the product.
As an aside, however, it's important to note that if you are using a WordPress-powered site, the majority of Social plugins out there cause huge bloat, meaning that they seriously slow down your site. So this is a trade-off. Consider CSS sprites or hard-coding out the links yourself.
You've created a social Group on Facebook for the SMM (Social Media Marketing) in your Online Marketing campaign; yet you see very little activity… Sound familiar?
With smart phones all the rage of mobile and Facebook all the rage of social – brand interaction can happen at any time. Except within Facebook Groups; the technology hasn't been integrated.
"Beluga whales are smart, social, and mobile. Just like our apps." That's the Facebook tag line for Beluga, a company offering a mobile messaging service within groups they call "Pods". The nifty apps have been freely available for the iPhone & Android markets.
To skeptics of the reliability & technology of this young company, having only launched in late 2010, I point to the Beluga Team itself; Ben Davenport, Lucy Zhang and Jonathan Perlow are three ex-Google engineers – so you know it's got to be good.
Beluga helps groups of friends stay in touch on the go. Use it to plan a night out or just share updates and photos. It's instant, intimate and simple. Best of all, it's completely free.
There's an old simple marketing formula – "Identify a Problem & Present a Solution". So what if we plugged in Facebook's mobile group messaging problem with Beluga's solution?
Facebook took the bait, acquiring Beluga earlier this month. They took the team and the technology. And I bet they've got your attention too.
With Facebook's preexisting oomph and Beluga's mobile group messaging, location integration and photo-sharing, it looks like your Social Media Marketing campaigns might be getting the boosts they need – via Groups.
I think Social Media Marketing just got a little more interesting. What do you think?

What I want is for the build process to produce bundle(s) which will ultimately be uploaded to Azure Storage and deployed via Azure CDN. Right now I'm just focusing on how to setup the project so that it will produce a bundle(s).
Is there a built-in project type suited to this that I'm missing? Or do I need to use Visual Studio Codes for this type of work? Preferably I'd like to stick with Visual Studio 2019 rather than introduce another IDE if I can help it.
Thanks!

A: @Ravi Teja, As you have mentioned in the comment that the issue is with the enterprise proxy which is blocking the call to BigQuery.
Enterprise proxy is an intermediary server separating end users from the websites they browse. Proxy servers provide varying levels of functionality, security, and privacy depending on your use case, needs, or company policy.

'I'm going freelance!' is something we hear more and more from friends and colleagues in the media.
It's not only because of the restructuring or cuts in print and broadcast. There's an element of freedom and adventure in striking out on the freelance life, going free range — and a tiny bit of apprehension. Being a freelance is a whole new lifestyle and being organised will help you be pro active to sell those articles & documentaries and get those contracts.
Your original ideas for stories are as valuable as all the contacts you have built up. So keep an ideas files for stories which grab your attention, even if there is no immediate outlet. These can be clippings, notes from something you hear or see on broadcast or more usually now, website addresses on your laptop. And have a look through them every now & then. And keep a seasonal diary on your computer too—stories that can run around Christmas, for example, need to pitched in early autumn.
Learn to market yourself and to network—these skills are key to being freelance. Think of yourself as a business, because you are. Set up your personalised email & website & matching business cards. Get in touch with all your professional contacts and figure out ways to meet more of them, attending lectures or events or requesting introductions. The majority of contracts, jobs and assignments in the UK happen through contacts rather than advertisements.
Social Media is free & the way to connect with potential clients, especially Twitter. Get to know and love Twitter and use it as part of your 'brand'. Your profile on all social media is an extension of your CV and often the first thing that a commissioning editor will check out. Twitter is also a great way of looking for contracts & keeping up with all aspects of the media.
For each different contract, re-jig & write targeted CVs. Your CV pitching for a column on gardening will be different from one about a travel piece on Iceland. A CV must present your skills and qualifications at a glance — CVs are usually read in less than a minute. Presentation is critical so use clear formats. Keep it short & concise & punchy. Road test your CV on a trusted—and critical– friend.
Look for gaps in the market and things you know about. You can write about or film your own experiences. Pitch in a short and well written email. If you don't hear back, send a second email a week later. And then follow up your approach with a call. Try to get a short meeting where you can sell yourself — ask for 10 minutes.
When you've sold that article or agreed on that freelance contract, discuss a fee which properly reflects your knowledge and experience. Be polite but firm. Be clear about copyright issues. You can always pitch high, and then agree to a lesser amount. But remember that it's 40% cheaper for a company to use freelances as they aren't responsible for providing sick pay, holiday pay, maternity leave or national insurance. Look at the payment guidance on the NUJ website and find out from other journalists what the going rate is for that article or documentary.
You might have to work 24/7 sometimes. Other times it will be very quiet so use that period to chase for the future or simply kick back and enjoy yourself. Discipline discipline discipline! Worrying about an irregular income can dent your confidence in going freelance.
Being freelance means being smart about your money and accounts. Reduce your outgoings and keep 3 months of living money in the bank. Learn about what expenses you can claim and keep all your receipts. Use an accountant who knows about freelances in the media or learn how to do your own tax returns online — it's easier than you think. And consider taking one of NUJ Training Wales' courses on finances & freelancing.
Create a support system for difficult times—positive thinking friends! And talk to other freelances.
10) Avoid what you really don't need!
There are things you don't necessarily need to launch your freelance career: The latest whizzy computer, iPhone, iPad or camera gear. Or those five new outfits to impress editors you haven't yet met.
All projects start with a single step—moving from a company structured life to self structured life takes planning, discipline and will power.

An airbag in your helmet? POC X AUTOLIV Integrated Helmet Airbag concept could help Cyclists Stay Alive!
Written by Ron Frazelle July 12, 2022
Automobiles and bicycles have a tumultuous relationship, to say the least… which often turns deadly for the cyclist.
Well, POC Sports a leader in cycling and snow sports safety, and Autoliv, Inc. a leader in automotive safety systems is looking to try to change the "deadly" part of that relationship. The two are teaming up in hopes to develop bicycle and e-bike helmets with integrated airbag technology that could help save cyclists' lives.
Photo c. POC
The press release says that "head injuries alone account for half of the deadly cyclist injuries." We already know that helmets are mostly beneficial to head safety if you were to crash on your own, but when a car is involved, things are different. A Swedish insurance company published a report that makes the case that "helmet absorption efficiency could still be greatly improved, especially when collisions occur with a car at speeds above 20 km/h (12 mph)."
POC and Autoliv are exploring the potential of using the airbag tech in helmets. The airbag, they say, would act as the initial energy absorber while the underlying helmet would be the secondary energy absorber.
On the inside.
After a pre-study has been conducted, Autoliv came to the conclusion that a cycling helmet with the inclusion of an integrated airbag system can "significantly improve protection and reduce the consequences of impacts to cyclists." The study also showed that the combination of both absorbing technologies "enables a reduction of the peak linear head acceleration and significantly reduced head injury in impact tests." The pre-study showed that adding the protection improvements (integrated airbag tech) could be done without compromising the design, comfort, or weight of the helmet.
Dr. Cecillia Sunnevang, VP of Research at Autoliv says: "Autoliv is committed to the vision of Saving More Lives and to providing world-class life-saving solutions for mobility and society. The safety of vulnerable road users, such as bicyclists and e-bike riders, is high on our agenda. Therefore, it was natural to collaborate on this initiative with POC, a leader in bicyclist safety, to explore how to improve helmet protection in current standard testing and more challenging scenarios, such as higher impact speeds."
According to the press release, this same pre-study also showed the addition of the airbag tech on top of the helmet significantly contributed to enhanced safety, especially in the linear impacts. The release goes on to state that it is estimated that the risk for a cyclist to sustain moderate (e.g. mild concussion) to fatal head injuries is reduced from 80% to 30% in a 20km/h (12mph) impact.
POC Airbag helmet in action perhaps?
POC's Chief Product Officer, OscarHuss says: "Our safety mission drives everything we do, and we always challenge conventional thinking in order to improve protection. Helmets are tested and certified in a laboratory setting and can never fully address all the real-world variables of bike crashes. Together with Autoliv, who are world-renowned and have some of the most advanced testing and research facilities in the field, we have embarked on a development journey with airbag technology, asking ourselves what could be done to excel in current test scenarios and push the envelope towards even more shock-absorbing capacity"
The press release continues, that the number of environmentally conscientious e-bike commuters, that are taking to the roads globally, has rapidly increased. Saying that this rapid growth should be met with improved helmet protection, especially at the higher speeds of e-bikes.
Autoliv and POC say they developed, during the pre-study, initial concepts by advanced simulation tools and conducted correlated crash tests. This will now lead to further testing and refinement in hopes of developing the concept further and bringing it to market.

Great start, now put the air bags on the outside of the car, at the source.
TypeVertigo
Seems like a logical outgrowth of the Hovding airbag "helmet," which is really a rather large neck collar that deploys into its final airbag shape in the event of a crash.
Pretty cool tech. I wonder how the airbag system can be further trimmed down and packaged into the helmet shell so that it doesn't interfere with ventilation.
Can't wait to see someone drop it accidentally during a cafe stop.

Mercedes G-Wagen Intruder is part G-Class, part SLK, all strange
An unusual concept vehicle based on Mercedes-Benz G-Class running gear is currently up for sale in the United Kingdom. It's the Intruder concept, a roadster-bodied G-Wagen built by now-defunct French firm Heuliez for the 1996 Paris International Motor Show.
Founded in 1920 by Adolphe Heuliez, the company started out as a coachbuilder, but as that market dried up, it moved into specialist production for automakers, taking on small-batch projects like the Renault R5 Turbo and the folding-roof mechanism for the Peugeot 206 CC.
The Intruder concept also took inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz SLK, which was revealed just four months before the off-roader at the 1996 Turin Motor Show. Like the SLK, the Intruder sported a folding-hardtop convertible body, but underneath was the chassis from a G320.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class Intruder concept by Heuliez
Heuliez retained the G-Wagen's inline-6 engine and four-wheel-drive system—complete with locking differentials. The roof took 30 seconds to lower, according to the listing over on Piston Heads.
The listing also said the Intruder was subject to a 280,000 euro (approximately $330,000) restoration, including servicing of the engine and convertible-top mechanism, but did not say when that was done. The concept was originally shown in silver, but was repainted white and red at various points. It's now back in the original silver, with just over 1,000 miles showing.
The Intruder served as a prototype for a vehicle known as the OPAC Contender. Five of these were built, but as coupes, not convertibles. Heuliez itself disappeared in the early 2000s, as the specialist work it relied on dried up. The past two decades have been difficult for coachbuilders and automotive design houses; even legendary names like Bertone have dissappeared.

Is there a way to bypass the allotted usage limit during development?
I do multiple calls during development and will exceed my allotted usage within an hour. Is there a way to disable usage counts during development and enable for production.
This may not be the answer you want, but I was at risk of the same issue. ... I slurped all my "test data" down to static XML files & just made my calls to the local cache during development. My website thought the weather was stuck on a nice sunny day in September, but the immediacy didn't matter during the development phase.

My parents gave me a wheat grinder for Christmas. I've been wanting one forever. The got me a really nice one that uses stones to grind the wheat. They don't make these anymore. They refinished the wood and it looks like new.
I didn't have a place for it to sit out on the counter and I don't have a plug in my pantry. To avoid having to carry it back and forth to a plug, this is what I did.
I grabbed a scrap of shelving from the basement and bought some castors and screws.
With the help of a drill. I screwed the castors on all four corners.
I set it on the floor and my daughter said "It's a skateboard!" When I told her what it was for she said "That's not very exciting."
Anyway here it is with the grinder on top. Now I can just roll it out of the pantry and to a plug when I need to use it.
I decided to make Banana Bread using wheat flour. It turned out great. My kids didn't even notice the difference. I used to make this recipe with white flour. Feel free to use whatever you have.
I'm not sure where I got this recipe. It could be my mom's or I could have found it online years ago. I don't remember.
Start by placing your sugar and butter in a bowl.
Now it's time for the bananas. You want to use bananas that look like this.
Add them to your batter along with milk and vanilla.
Pour batter into greased pans. It should make one loaf. I wanted to use my mini loaf pans too, so I put a little less in the bigger loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. For muffins (or mini loafs) bake 18-21 minutes.
Beat sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add bananas, milk and vanilla. mix well. Add dry ingredients, just until moistened. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes for loaf or 18-21 minutes for muffins, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Substitued 1 c. applesauce for the bananas and add 3/4 t. cinnamon.
Mmmm! This looks so yummy!
I wish I were a better baker, this looks delicious. I am blog hopping (and your newest follower). Would love it if you popped over and followed me back. Thanks!


Previous researchers have hypothesized that site-faithful animals may benefit from the presence of familiar neighbors. This study compares the relative costs of territorial defense against new and former neighbors by male willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus). Territorial defense against new neighbors appeared to require a greater expenditure of both time and effort than did defense against former neighbors. Territorial males that had several new neighbors spent a higher proportion of time fighting than did males with fewer new neighbors, and males with both new and former neighbors spent a greater amount of time fighting with their new neighbors, on average, than with their former neighbors. In addition, fights with new neighbors occurred relatively more frequently and were longer than fights with former neighbors. Finally, fights involving new neighbors tended to escalate to higher levels than fights between former neighbors. Reduced defensive costs for site-faithful, territorial males may provide one explanation for the tendency of males to be more site-faithful than females in many species.

Boston — The Baker-Polito Administration today announced that the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will break ground on the Blackstone section of the Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT) in Spring 2023, which is estimated to take approximately three years to complete. The $11.3 million project runs from the Saint Paul Street Bridge in the Town of Blackstone to the Massachusetts-Rhode Island state border and is the final half-mile of an approximately 4.2-mile section of DCR's Blackstone River Greenway. Additionally, this section of the greenway is critical for the connection to Rhode Island's Blackstone River Bikeway and also provides a regional connection to Douglas, MA, and the State of Connecticut through the SNETT.
"Since taking office, the Baker-Polito Administration has worked diligently to greatly expand the Commonwealth's vast network of trails, which offer incredible economic, health, and transportation benefits, and access to the natural world that surrounds us," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Beth Card. "This Blackstone section is a vital part of the Southern New England Trunkline Trail that will not only connect communities, but two states together, enabling stronger bonds and better opportunities to explore nature."
The SNETT is a recreational trail, owned and managed by DCR, along a former railroad corridor that runs approximately 22 miles from the Franklin State Forest in the Town of Franklin to the Douglas State Forest in the Town of Douglas. The SNETT passes through the towns of Bellingham, Blackstone, Douglas, Franklin, Millville, and Uxbridge and is one of the longest rail-trails in southern Massachusetts. Currently, most of the trail is gravel surface and is used for various recreational and transportation purposes. Additionally, a portion of the SNETT, including the section to be built in the Town of Blackstone, is part of the Blackstone River Greenway, an envisioned 50-mile greenway with a paved shared-use path connecting Providence, Rhode Island, and Worcester, Massachusetts.
"The Department of Conservation and Recreation is excited to commence work on the Blackstone section of the Southern New England Trunkline Trail this spring," said DCR Commissioner Doug Rice. "The commitment by the Baker-Polito Administration to complete this section provides many benefits for residents, businesses, and visitors for years to come."
The Blackstone project includes a single-span railroad viaduct and a seven-span railroad viaduct on which the trail will be constructed. Both of these viaducts that will be rehabilitated as part of the project are important historic structures and cultural resources. Additionally, funding for the project is through the DCR Major Trails Capital Program.
"I am grateful for the Baker-Polito administration and DCR's investment in the Blackstone Valley," said State Senator Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). "This trail is a focal point for tourism in our area for those that love the outdoors, and this improvement will build upon that experience. By finalizing the connection between Blackstone and the MA-RI border, we will be opening the door for many outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy these trails in the Blackstone Valley."
"I am excited to see work commence on the Blackstone section of the Southern New England Trunkline Trail," said State Representative Michael J. Soter (R-Worcester). "I applaud DCR and the Baker Polito Administration for their work and commitment to bring towns of Southern New England."
In 2018, DCR completed the 3.7-mile section from 146A in the Town of Uxbridge through the Town of Millville to the Saint Paul Street Bridge in Blackstone, MA, and in 2019, DCR completed the Canal Street Bridge. Rhode Island has also completed the bridge across the Blackstone River that connects to the Massachusetts border. Significantly, this project will complete the final link to the Massachusetts/Rhode Island border within a 23-mile intrastate greenway.
DCR manages state parks and oversees more than 450,000 acres throughout Massachusetts. It protects, promotes, and enhances the state's natural, cultural, and recreational resources.
