The British Library has decided to make its exhibit: “Harry Potter: A History of Magic” available online so everyone magic-born and muggle alike can have a chance to experience it during the current crisis.

With our large collection of online resources, we’ve got you covered with the top ten ways to experience the Museum digitally.

You can tour exhibitions including, to (be)scare, Ashley Pelletier Dissembling the Self, Brooks Dierdorff Ballistics & Blindsight, and Tony Saunders elucidating, among others. 

This exhibition contextualizes Mary Ann Scherr’s early career in industrial design, illustration and fashion during the 1940s-1950s, and special highlights in the form of larger pieces in metal (eg. academic medallions for NC State and Meredith, four aluminum mythological figures and body monitors). Scherr’s range of jewelry design are also exhibited, including chokers/ necklaces and cuffs/ bracelets; titanium work; and smaller pieces/ personal commissions. Many pieces, currently in private hands, are exhibited for the first time.

Since the Gregg Museum of Art & Design is temporarily closed to the public, we have created a virtual tour so that this wonderful exhibition can be enjoyed without leaving your house! We are proud to present Mary Ann Scherr’s, All is Possible. We hope you enjoy the tour.

Creating Community Through Traditional Dance and Music

Families and communities have provided for their own entertainment throughout history. This program of community dancing and music helps students to develop an awareness of what life was like before television, computers, and CD's, especially during the 18th, 19^th, and early 20th centuries.

Peter Davis, Paul Rosenberg and George Wilson involve students in discussions about the role of homemade music and dance to celebrate weddings, historical events, community gatherings, and to make social commentary. Students are introduced to the origins, sounds and uses of folk instruments - including fiddle, banjo, mandolin, clarinet, pennywhistle, and guitar.

Workshops are chock-full of community–building activities that get everyone up and moving. By participating in community (folk, contra and square) dances and singing games, students experience a variety of styles and customs from different countries. These are living traditions influenced by various cultures over the centuries. Dances presented come from more than 50 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

Free workshops for middle school girls, grades 5-8. Students can explore topics like HTML & CSS, C++, JavaScript, Python, Engineering, IoT, AI, and so much more. All things tech!

You can see the events coming up here:

They also have volunteering opportunities so you can share what you know with the learners! https://www.techgirlz.org/volunteer/

Nice to see you! Who can do my tasks online? I would like to say thanks to this writing company, that my schoolmate adviced me, and to authors, who work there, for their quick reply and great patience.

After using this online agency I have got my first “A” grade and, I think, not the last in this studying year.

Surrogate Mother Requirements

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a modern and growing means of bringing new life into the world, where a woman carries a baby for another person or a couple. The intended parents undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF), meaning fertilization outside of the body, to transfer an embryo into the surrogate mother’s uterus. In our work at ConceiveAbilities, surrogates are not genetically or legally related to the baby and are compensated for their time and service by the intended parents. In 2018, more than 10,000 births took place by surrogate in the United States, and the market is steadily growing at 15% per year based on data from the Centers for Disease Control. And, in the past ten years, the percentage of all IVF transfers that took place with a gestational carrier grew from just over 1% to 4.8%.

What Are Surrogate Requirements?

In order to ensure that surrogacy can be a healthy and successful experience for you, the basic requirements include your age, your experience with prior deliveries, and your medical history.

The basic requirements include

• Have you given birth before?
• A history of at least one full-term, health and uncomplicated pregnancy is essential to ensuring your surrogacy journey is healthy and successful.

• How old are you?
• At the time you are matched with intended parents, you should be between 21 and 40 years of age.

• Where do you live?
• Compensated surrogacy is legal in most, but not all states. And, certain locations are highly valued by intended parents and you can earn higher compensation.

• Are you a long-term US resident?
• The surrogacy journey is lengthy and is accomplished only by working with a US-based IVF clinic.

• Are you physically healthy?
• You must have an uncomplicated medical history, not be over- or under-weight, not currently smoke, and be free of certain chronic conditions.

• Are you emotionally healthy?
• Your surrogacy journey is demanding and requires a stable foundation in your life without undue stress.

Through this program, we are inviting children, students, and families to create Heart designs, messages/poems, music, and videos for others in need of support in order to inspire, provide relief, spark joy, and share hope during these challenging times. The process is described in the following page: https://bepeacebehope.com/step-by-step-checklist-1 Through its global network, the Be The Peace - Be The Hope/ Texan - French Alliance for the Arts team will be digitally delivering these heartfelt artistic creations every week to Health Professionals, Elders isolated in retirement homes, First Responders, Hospitalized patients, Children fighting cancer in hospitals and others especially in need of encouragement. The Heart designs and other creations are showcased on the following pages https://bepeacebehope.com/1-hearts-to-select-1-1 and https://bepeacebehope.com/1-hearts-to-select-2. and https://bepeacebehope.com/4-5-heart-gift-pack
