The new non-profit museums


Even considering the fact that museums should always do their best to attract as many tourists as possible, the truth is that many of them ask way too much money to let us in! Keeping this in mind, there are still some museums which are created to help non-profit missions as you may discover by reading the msnbc.com article below:

"

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Heifer International has opened a $7.5 million museum at its Little Rock headquarters to illustrate the work it does around the world to help impoverished people feed themselves.

The museum, called Heifer Village, opened in June and will add an important element to Heifer educational programs, which demonstrate the charity's mission to provide animals and training so the world's poor can have sustainable nutrition.

Narrative elements run through the museum's exhibits, showing the effects that fair trade, clean water or mosquito netting can have. Under a ceiling of rich, amber-stained wood, natural light falls on the exhibits as the building itself demonstrates sustainability strategies.

In a section focusing on education, a visitor can sit at a desk equipped with a touch-screen computer to go through a variety of scenarios. The visitor picks from four children who live in different parts of the world, each of them poor. Going from screen to screen, the user makes choices that the child might have to make, for instance, about whether to ask for more food or to see a doctor.

There are no right or wrong answers, but the user learns more about the situations faced by poor families and how one decision leads to making another.

"Each scenario would lead you on a different path," Heifer Village operations manager Kent Modlin said.

At a nearby stop, patrons can pick items from a grocery basket and run them over a barcode scanner to learn about sustainable efforts behind the products.

The museum is interactive from start to finish. Walking in, visitors see columns that depict different farmers helped by Heifer, each with panels that slide to reveal various facts.

The exhibit hall has exhibits in five main categories: infrastructure, health care, fair markets, education and sustainable agriculture.

Like many contemporary museums geared to young visitors, Heifer Village has wide-screen TVs, buttons to push and plenty of information panels. What sets Heifer apart is the way stories progress as visitors move through its 6,500 square feet.

After the main hall, visitors enter the "Make a Difference Lab" where they can commit to doing volunteer work, saving energy, reducing pollution or any number of other efforts. Visitors type what they plan to do into a computer. A giant computer screen scrolls the different entries.

While the focus at the museum is not on monetary donations, the organization says its fundraising has slowed due to the recession and it recently announced layoffs of 20 percent of its U.S. staff, 68 people. But aid programs overseas will be maintained. Heifer spokesman Ray White says it takes very little money to provide a village with animals and training, and to obtain promises that the offspring of the livestock will be shared with others in the village.

"Heifer is grass roots on both ends," White said, noting that a few hundred dollars from small donors in the U.S. have an impact abroad, providing enough to start a village livestock program.

"The exhibits will show how easy it is for someone to have food security, to have schools for their children, to have a roof to keep the rain off of them," White said.

Like the headquarters building itself, the Heifer Village museum is built of recycled and renewable materials, and uses passive solar heat and light. Rainfall at the Heifer campus is collected and flows into a wetland. Visitors to a trail learn how improved environmental conditions can improve living conditions for a community.

Last year, Heifer's headquarters received the American Institute of Architects' highest honor for its ecologically minded design.

The main building is curved and the new museum is also, fitting into a scheme of circles and semicircles across the grounds. Amid the immaculate landscaping are native plants and trees, including bamboo, yellow coneflowers and dogwoods.

The design projects a unity, which is within Heifer's message.

"Heifer Village is an attempt to bring more of that story to people who will help us end hunger and poverty," White said. "It's not so much about hunger and poverty as it is about the solution."

The importance of obesity treatments

Sponsored Zync review:

As most women know, now that the summer and the beaches are ready to receive us, an increasing number of women realize that they are not as physically fit as they thought they would. Keeping this in mind, it is vital that we find the best and most reliable obesity solutions so that we can solve our extra weight problems.

Personally, I recently came across a very user-friendly website, obesity medical center (or “centros de tratamiento de obesidad” as the Spanish would say), where Spanish users are given the chance to take full advantage of the most reliable obesity service provided by the best specialists in Spain. Furthermore, based on my personal experience as a businesswoman who knows a lot about web development and graphical concept of websites, I would personally say that the website above is extremely user-friendly, functional and the graphical concept really fits the needs of the users and the general topic of the website. Moreover, the images and colors chosen for the website also display a classic look, making it look extremely professional. Still, I believe that there should be some other flash player components and maybe some videos to add an even more professional look to the website.

So, are you looking for the best obesity treatments (Spanish would refer to them as “tratamientos de la obesidad”? If that’s the case, then I would personally advise you to take some time and discover more about the obesity medical center to which I have linked just above.

Discover the new sculpture garden in St. Louis


When considering the importance of some relaxing moments in our lives so that we can produce a better work in our job, I would personally say that gardens are probably one of the best places for us to cool off and njoy some amazing moments with the nature! Below you may read more about the recently open sculpture garden in St. Louis:

"

ST. LOUIS - A new sculpture garden in downtown St. Louis is trying to give a little something to everyone, offering a mixture of highbrow art, quiet spaces for reflection and whimsical spray fountains where visitors can cool off.

The park, called Citygarden, combines two dozen sculptures on three acres (1.2 hectares) of land, from a giant bronze head resting on its side by Igor Mitoraj to animated figures walking across electronic screens by Julian Opie. Citygarden opened July 1.

"The challenge and the opportunity was not just to make a sculpture garden, but a place for the public," said Warren Byrd with the architectural design firm Nelson Byrd Woltz of Charlottesville, Virginia.

He designed the park so grand sculptures sit on big lawns, while other sections provide little pockets of space to serve as quieter, more intimate areas.

The sculpture garden is on city-owned land, but it was funded with roughly $30 million from the nonprofit Gateway Foundation, which supports outdoor art and urban design. The foundation will retain ownership of the sculptures, and is paying upkeep costs except water and electricity.

"It will take its place among the great public spaces here in St. Louis and in this country," said St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay.

Slay used his cell phone at the opening ceremony to dial a control room at the park, asking workers to turn on the water features and take down construction barriers.

"Gentlemen, it's time to start the fountains, and to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, tear down the fences," he said. The park is blocks from the Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium and the convention center, and will be free to visit.

Cell phones will come in handy at the park. Citygarden also has an audio tour, which people can access by calling 314-802-9571. St. Louis leaders from Hall of Fame Cardinal Ozzie Smith to St. Louis Symphony Music Director David Robertson were asked to contribute recordings. Park visitors can punch in a number on their phone that corresponds to each sculpture to hear more about it.

Byrd said the designers responded to the natural features of the region, particularly its rivers, when determining how to lay out the park.

"The garden looks this way because it's in St. Louis. There's nothing off the shelf about it," he said.

The park includes a limestone arc wall, which curves along the northern side of the park and a low, more meandering wall that snakes along the south. It has pathways, terraces and plazas. A new cafe is also opening where diners will have a view of a waterfall spilling from the limestone and a pool surrounding Aristide Maillol's reclining nude sculpture "La Riviere."

Raymond Furgason was one of the first visitors to the park. The downtown resident and owner of a nearby business, the Bubba Tea Cafe, strolled through the grounds, coffee in hand, with his 2-year-old son Jadyn, who rode along on a tricycle.

"I think it brings a nice sense of style to downtown," he said. "It makes it feel good, homey, real comfortable."
