#Massachusetts - Learn, tinker and play at the #SpringfieldMuseums this summer

SPRINGFIELD — "Families can turn up the heat on summer fun while staying cool in air-conditioned halls at the Springfield Museums.

"Now open seven days a week through Aug. 15, the museums are offering a slate of activities including hands-on exhibitions, live entertainment on the Quadrangle Green, and music inspired by cultures from around the globe.

"Most summer activities are included with Museum admission, and that cost is waived for Springfield residents with proof of residence.

" 'I am hoping that visitors and their families leave the museums this summer thinking ‘I’ve learned something new,' said Abby Garner, Family Engagement Coordinator for the Springfield Museums, in an interview with The Republican.

" 'Whether that is from the #planetarium, one of our #musical performances, the additional activities we are offering, or from one of our visiting exhibits.'

"Some of the Museums’ summer activities are returning favorites, like the return of Giant Bubbles with Mr. Vinny, a show on the Quadrangle each Friday afternoon that encourages children to watch, chase and pop bubbles. The Toe Jam #Puppet Band, a children’s entertainment troupe that combines #music, #puppetry and #storytelling, also returns.

"Other activities, like hands-on experiences in the Cat’s Corner, Hasbro Games Art Discovery Center and #SparkLab, were curated by the Museum’s education staff for this year’s summer programming.

"In the Cat’s Corner, located inside of The Amazing World of #DrSeuss Museum, guests can read some of Ted Geisel’s stories and take part in facilitated art activities. In the Hasbro Games Art Discovery Center, located inside of the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum, guests can participate in activities that range from arts and crafts to dress-up and puppet play. In the Spark!Lab, located inside of the Springfield Science Museum, make projects inspired by inventions and innovations in American history, or invent something totally new.

" 'Activities can change from week to week in our drop-in spaces, so there are new experiences often for visitors looking to visit more than once this summer,' Garner said.

A focus on music

"The summer schedule also offered the opportunity for more live music at the Museums.

" 'We’ve had musical performances on and off throughout the years, and they’re always really special events, especially when the weather’s nice and we can have them out on our #QuadrangleGreen and kids can dance and #sing and #play,' said Larissa Murray, Director of Education for the Springfield Museums. 'But we wanted to make it more of a featured event, something that you could plan for as opposed to it just happening now and again.'

"Wednesdays are a strong turn-out day for the Museums, Murray explained, making it the perfect opportunity to test out a new music program.

"As a result, the Springfield Museums are offering a 'Music on Wednesdays' program this summer, with a different group or performer scheduled each week. The live music begins on July 9 with the Community Music School of Springfield performing #BombaYPlena music from #PuertoRico and #WestAfrican-inspired drumming and dance."

Continued thread

We are Malaysians—not just Malays, Chinese, Indians, or indigenous groups separately. Malaysia was built on the unity of diverse peoples: the Orang Asli, the KDMR communities of Sabah, the Dayak of Sarawak, and everyone else who calls this land home. It's time we stop blindly accepting narratives of Malay supremacy. We are Malaysians first. Equal, dignified, and united.

Female business owners are being targeted for burglary in Shady Palms leaving one dead and one seriously hurt. Lila, the Brew-ha crew and the Park brothers, with the help of the town they are on the case in book 6, #DeathAndDinuguan, the last in this inclusive series, #TitoRosiesKitchenMysteries by #MiaPManansala to find out who's responsible. #CozyMystery #Multicultural #InclusiveStory #Mystery rellebellereads.com/read/death

I can't help but wonder if there wasn't a #CostOfLiving #crisis, fears over precarious #employment and we had well funded #public services - #Schools , #SocialCare , #Transport etc a lot more people wouldn't give two shits about how many #immigrants they saw in town or even where coming over via boats, or whether they have correct documentation to be here

I'm aware of a core of people who have always been racist/bigoted, but they can often be worn down by sheer force of numbers and as they get older and dependent on carers (who are very often black/brown) they tend to change their tune quicker than younger folk - and even the youth tend to avoid overt bigotry when their friend circle and subcultures they are involved in are #multicultural ...

I saw the Buddha in the stone

The heritage from the old capital city of Chenla is still visible in the Kampong Thom area.

When it comes to the art of stonework is still kept in high regards in the modern day just south of Kampong Thom city.
Driving southeast along National Road 6 towards Kampong Cham, Skoun and Phnom Penh, you will drive along stone masonries and cement sculptures along the road. And you get to see how its done.

Like in this photo.

Common heritage framed by trees

Framed by trees and jungle, the Sâmbor Prey Kŭh temples of pre-Angkor Chenla kingdom was added to our common World Cultural Heritage list in 2017.

I visited this site and took this photo the year before this admittance, in the end of December 2016.

The bridge city near the river city Kampong Thom
North of the Kampong Thom city area the Sambor Prei Kouk complex marks the old capital Isanapura of the Chenla civilization.

The Funan state was a loosely organized confederation of cities and lesser kingdoms with large population centres and advanced technology. It was established around the start of current Common Era and lasted about 500 years, covering most of today’s Cambodia and Thailand, Southern Viet Nam, and northern part of Malaysia.

Establishing the Chenla kingdom marks the rapid development of architecture, culture and society building into a unified centralised kingdom and culture. This led into the foundations of the Angkor era. The Chenla kings increased their power north into today’s Laos and close to Burma.

The Chenla capital city Isanapura (Khmer: ឦសានបុរៈ – Isan Borak) was the core city of pre-Khmer Empire for 250 years, between 550 and 800 CE. The first writings in the Khmer alphabet are found here, marking a continuous written culture lasting up to modern times.

It might be the most beautiful walk you could go on, ON TOP of being one of the most historic avenues to freedom.

But it is in Canada, and for those leaving the US and returning to the US after the walk of freedom, it may put themselves at risk of the growing fascist ICE and border threat.

👉 Canadians of every history and creed should join rhe trail.👈

In Canada we don't tolerate, we celebrate. 🇨🇦
