We met Jorge at the door of his restaurant opened in 2015. Mayta’s Peruvian Cuisine is his and his wife Melissa’s dream come true. Jorge came to the USA from Peru 16-years ago to cook and chef his way to success at a few different restaurants, finally he made the break and with his savings he opened his own restaurant. He came in legally and has created a fine and tasty niche restaurant that locals and visitors alike head to for large portions of dishes that are authentic (no sharing charges, said Jorge) real-world Peruvian specialties. The various ingredients found in the Peruvian hills and glades are used, the spices and flavorings are quite unique to stateside foodies and the dinner and lunch crowd as well. Outdoors there is a fine diminutive outdoor patio and Mayta’s delivers too! Give a call to 301-732-4441/www.maytacuisine.com They love to do parties and all manner of catering as well! Located across from Crispy Cream at 5010 Buckeystown Pike.

AmericanPressTravelNews–4/26/17 News Release—-Contact with nature is an important part of growing up and linking Americans to one another; competing priorities and other factors impede getting outdoors.The findings from an unprecedented national study of Americans’ relationship to nature reveal an alarming disconnection, but also widespread opportunities for reconnecting. The results are prompting nature conservation, environmental education and outdoor recreation leaders to rethink how they work to connect people with nature.“The Nature of Americans National Report: Disconnection and Recommendations for Reconnection” reveals important insights from a study of nearly 12,000 adults, 8- to 12-year-old children, and parents, and provides actionable recommendations to open the outdoors for all.
Americans encounter a number of society-wide forces disconnecting them from nature. Americans face competing priorities for their time, attention and money. They live in places that often have more concrete than green space. It is increasingly normal to spend little time outside.
More than half of adults report spending five hours or less in nature each week, and most are satisfied with this minimal amount of time. Many parents and older adults lament that children today are growing up with limited opportunities to experience nature.
Parents say their 8 -to 12-year-old children spend three times as many hours with computers and TVs each week as they do playing outside.
Despite these challenges, there is opportunity. Americans of all backgrounds recognize that nature helps them grow healthy, be happy, and enjoy family and friends. Adults and children enjoy their time in nature. They feel affection for nature, are attracted to its beauty, appreciate its resources, and value its role in intellectual and spiritual development.
Over three-quarters of adults rate contact with nature as very or extremely important for their physical health and emotional outlook.
One-quarter of parents surveyed say contact with nature has improved their child’s weight, attention span, energy, anxiety, asthma or other health outcomes.
Three-quarters of adults support increasing the number of programs for Americans to enjoy nature, the outdoors and wildlife. More than one-half think programs for Americans to enjoy nature and wildlife are underfunded.
Seven out of 10 children surveyed would rather explore woods and trees than play on neat-looking grass. Eight out of 10 like activities such as climbing trees and camping.
Restoring Americans’ connection to nature requires overcoming the gap between interest and action.
“The Nature of Americans National Report” details recommendations for restoring Americans’ connection to nature, including:
Pay close attention to – and respond to – adults’ existing concerns about younger generations’ disconnection from nature.
For adults and children, promote nature not only as a place for experiences, but also as a place for involvement and care.
Assure adults and children that time in nature can be (and even ought to be) social.
Support mentorship that extends beyond the parent–child relationship.
Carefully consider how different sectors promote what “good” connection with nature is or ought to be.
Deepen local experiences in nature near home.
For children and adults, use geographically local or familiar activities as a bridge to geographically distant or unfamiliar activities.
Provide socially safe and satisfying places outdoors, especially for urban and minority adults and children.
Promote experiences in nature that match Americans’ multidimensional values of nature.
For adults, promote conservation efforts as a way to improve their overall community and quality of life.
Join parents, children and adults alike in recognizing that expenditures on children’s engagement with nature are fundamentally important investments.
Build partnerships among professionals in healthcare, education, urban planning, conservation, community development and other sectors.
The core premise of these recommendations is that connection to nature is not a dispensable amenity but, rather, is essential to the health, economic prosperity, quality of life and social well-being of all Americans.
The Nature of Americans is led by DJ Case & Associates. It builds on the late Dr. Stephen R. Kellert’s research on the importance of contact with nature to human well-being. This unique public–private collaborative is sponsored by the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Disney Conservation Fund, Morrison Family Foundation, Wildlife Management Institute and Yale University. More information and reports are available at NatureofAmericans.org.
“This research gives us great insight into the value that Floridians have for the natural world. The findings also show us the barriers we must surmount to ensure everyone experiences nature’s benefits. The Nature of Americans reinforces our commitment to bring people and wild places together for the long-term health and well-being of both.”
From the miasma, life came! But only due to water being created by G-D’s plan of nature!
APtravelnews- August 21st–Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.—Water! H2O is a whole lot more than just being wet, thirsty and clean. Water is life itself!
All water that was ever on, and in earths atmosphere, going back to the beginning is still here. We and all animal and plant life are predominantly made up of water. The problem with water today is how it’s used and abused, wasted to undrinkable, flushed away and mixed with dangerous unnatural chemical compounds rendering it useless and unhealthy for the support of life and most important of all; taken for granted. Just ask anyone in California if today, they take water for granted, or the peoples of desertification all over the arid nations of the world, how they think of water! The bottom line is; today with a world population of billions and compare these numbers to the few millions of peoples of the past, water is being used by a modern, unprecedented amounts of peoples and businesses from agricultural to every possible niche in every aspect of life’s uses and needs, from direct need in human waste and hydration needs, to every social and business requirement. Take a look at Las Vegas, it’s fountains and pools, lawn and landscape watering, and what are they about to do? Take down the big lake that Hoover Dam has created. Las Vegas is frantic now that wonderful dry heat they tout also is evaporating waters by a factor of 20-percent per day!
According to an article in Eating Well March and April 2015 “fully 50-percent of your water footprint is devoted to your diet (food and drink) think about this: just one cup of tea takes 9-gallons of water to create that tiny bit of tea. 1 oz. of chocolate needs 127 gallons to create that cocoa bean. For a 3-oz. piece of beef it takes 347 gallons, an oz. of almonds-120 gallons, a 3 oz. piece of chicken 98-gallons, a cup of coffee 34 gallons, a glass of wine 24 gallons to make that vine that matures and offers those grapes.” A few more general stats and tips: The daily water footprint of the average American is 2000 gallons per day (both direct and indirect usages) that’s about double the worldwide average and this is an equivalent of running the dishwasher 400 times. When taking a 10-minute shower you use about 25-gallons. Aiming for a 5-minute shower or less and you can save about 300-gallons a month.” Look I can go on and on, but bottom line is; where it’s possible to save water, or anything we routinely use. Think about all the possibilities and act. You can save a whole lot more than just dollars! Remember many new companies who have started up bottled water businesses in the recent past are all now highly successful multi-million dollar businesses. Quality of water injected with chlorine for purification bred a whole new enterprise out of need!
