Ensuring Safe Water Lack of access to safe water affects more than 1 billion people in the developing world. Annually, 2 to 3 million children under age 5 die of diseases acquired through exposure to contaminated water.Thanks to a simple technology developed by retired CDC scientist and researcher Dr. Eugene Gangarosa and his colleagues, safe water is becoming a reality for even the poorest families in the most remote parts of the globe. Called the Safe Water System, it combines water treatment using inexpensive diluted bleach solution and safe water storage using narrow-mouthed containers and lids. In recognition of International World Water Day, join us in making a commitment to ensure safe water for people around the world by learning more … [Continue reading...]

Windows 8/8.1 Open House Contest Winners

March 18, 2014 By Leave a Comment
seniornet

One of the great things about SeniorNet is appreciating the talent, expertise, and dedication of our volunteers. The intent of this contest was to recognize the creativity, hard work, and dedication of individual SeniorNet Learning Centers in writing curriculum and courses for their local communities, and to share their work with the entire SeniorNet community. Thirty-four curriculum submissions made their way to the winners circle. And then the judging became even harder. It was extremely difficult to select (4) centers as winners. When you see the effort and creativity that went into the production of the curriculum, I am sure that you will agree. The judges agreed to acknowledge all of the thirty-four curriculum submissions. This means there will be (4) Winners and (3) … [Continue reading...]

WHERE ARE MY GLASSES?

March 4, 2014 By Leave a Comment
glasses.jpg'

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.  Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing, I said. Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me" she said, and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys. I did this and when I got  home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business. I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a parachute club. She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 73 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" I told her that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned  me, "Good … [Continue reading...]

Gray-Haired Geezers (Know any?)

February 5, 2014 By Leave a Comment

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.  If all of us “old farts” have all of the money, then let us try to elect someone who might be near honest and not be after feathering their own nests.  They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs.  Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire.  Others have been retired for some time.  We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were.  We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together.  Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and … [Continue reading...]
