Resource: List of Online links to Pacific Media - 2012

So in order to help with Pacific American community, a list here has been made if there isn't actual media in your local library. If there isn't Polynesian media in your local library, then most likely it will have to be started by someone who's dedicated to community and willing to take the first step, which is asking the reference desk "How can I help, I would like to help provide materials for my community to check out". Usually its just as simple as making a donation, you give them the Movie or Magazines or Books then they process it. Library's can also subscribe to Newspapers, and Pacific Newspapers will be able to read within the Library. 

If the answer is something to the effect of, "We just can't find material", then there's probably a few more steps to take. There is a Library Administrator that can be addressed, have support with you, or other people involved community. There is also a Library Board that can be addressed. The point being that if your local Library doesn't have material for your community to check out, they should and they can, that's their job is to help it's local community have a fair bit of materials for learning.

Resource: Well say hello to Ribbet.com

If Picnik used to be a way to create visuals on your Social Media Website then you probably felt the hurt when it was taken in by Google+. Worry no more because Ribbet.com [outside link] is to the rescue. The Online Editor has everything that Picnik had and is at this time offering it's premium services for free to all public as a "Hello" to the online Digital Arts community.

To test out the new site a test button - image was made from the new editor to see if it really did have all the options and power that Picnik once offered.

The verdict is "YES!" the online editor has it all with the ease and powerful organized options that made Picnik so famous among the online community. A simple free photo was uploaded and then played with, and was warped - twisted - shrunk - tint changed - faded - softened - added to - combined - and bordered, to create the "Ribbet Test" by Ione K. Birdman who dearly missed Picnik's design for fun made images and editing.
