NOTES:

This is huge site that was converted from a legacy Windows blog system. This required us to do complex data conversions in Excel and MySQL to convert the various tables and assets in the old system to JOOMLA. This included more than 2500 articles and 1000's of photos and videos. Special attention was paid to the effort after launch during which we have captured and redirected more than 17,000 of the old URLs. Check out the site. There is a lot here to learn. This site gets visitors from every country in the world every day.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site maxed out the native search function in JOOMLA so we installed an implementation of Elastisearch. This external search server keeps a real time index of the site and provides nearly instant results. Try it here: https://biblearchaeology.org/search

FROM THE SITE:

The modern science of archaeology, which began in the mid-1800’s, has revolutionized our knowledge of the ancient Biblical world. Many archaeological discoveries relate directly to Scripture and confirm the historicity of the Biblical record. Other discoveries provide fascinating background material for the Biblical narratives. As people are made aware of these discoveries, the Bible suddenly comes alive and Bible study is made more interesting and meaningful.  Today’s technology has enabled archaeological research and publication to be greatly accelerated. More information is now being produced than ever before. It is even hard for professionals to keep up with the most recent developments. That’s why the ministry of Associates for Biblical Research is so important and valuable. Our staff of professional archaeologists is actually producing some of the latest research. In addition, we stay in communication with other scholars active in the field and get the inside story on recent developments. Associates for Biblical Research keeps you informed on the latest discoveries. Furthermore, we also provide a Biblical perspective for the significance of each discovery.

FROM THE SITE: When I was twelve years old, my father took my brother and me on a weekend hunting trip to Elliott’s Island, Maryland. My dad was not a hunter, but many of his friends were. I will never forget the proprietor of what was later named the Mertle Gray Gunning Club, Sam Kenney, telling us that whatever we shot, we ate. Pete Malloy cooked us muskrat and wild duck for dinner that evening. The older gentlemen at Elliott’s were kind enough to take us duck hunting that season; it was then that I first placed my hands on a decoy, and I remember thinking there was something special about it. That feeling has never left me.

Guided by adult mentors and their own imaginations, FLL students solve real-world engineering challenges and develop important life skills. FIRST LEGO League provides students age 9-14 with a hands-on, interactive robotics program in a sports-like atmosphere. Teams of up to 10 players focus on team building, problem solving, creativity, and analytical thinking to develop solutions to a problem currently facing the world – the Challenge. Each August, a new Challenge is unveiled to FLL teams across the world. Over the ensuing several months the teams strategize, design, build, program, test and refine a fully autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS™ technology. The teams also do their own research, talk to professionals, and develop compelling presentations which relate to the Challenge. At FLL competitions, the teams are evaluated on their robot’s performance, their presentation, teamwork and robot design.

https://empowermats.com

FROM THE SITE:  Robotics is a great way to introduce all youth to the principles of mechanical engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence as well as creative problem solving, collaboration, and teamwork skills. But youth with visual disabilities have been at a disadvantage because most products are designed solely with sighted youth in mind. We want to use Empower Mats to build the same skills while allowing youth with a variety of disabilities to participate in mainstream robotics.  Through a grant from a national foundation, and in collaboration with The Maryland School for The Blind, TechBrick Education, LET’S GO Boys & Girls, and other national institutions, we are developing and testing surface technologies that can be applied to standard robotics competition and training mats. These solutions will facilitate the participation of students who are blind or visually impaired who are largely excluded from these types of activities. If they do not have an opportunity to engage in STEM based programs, they will not be likely to pursue STEM careers.

https://ukrainechildren.org

From the Site:

In 2004, the sole reason Ukraine Children's Aid Fund was formed, was to help children in Ukraine who were suffering due to poverty, abuse, and abandonment. Over the years much of our aid has gone to feed, clothe, and provide medical care for homeless children and those living in horrifically underfunded orphanages and sanitaria. While many children, especially those with families, have left Ukraine, the plight of most children, especially those in the poorest regions of Ukraine (Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson) is now more desperate than ever due to the armed conflict involving Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We have received reports of children being killed in explosions, as well as being shot by the invading soldiers. Ukrainians are fleeing for their lives, but children without families to care for them are facing extremely dire circumstances.
