A DIGITAL NATION IN AN EMERGING EUROPE
Despite its size, Estonia has become one of the world’s most digitally advanced countries, with nearly all government services available online. A conversation with President Kersti Kaljulaid on how a nation of 1.3 million is working to combat climate change, address global cyber terrorism threats and build greater security in the Baltic region.

Innovation and STEM-worker (science, technology, engineering, and math) intensive “advanced industries” are the prime movers of regional and national economic competitiveness in the United States. Industries like aerospace and auto, oil and gas extraction, or software and health IT stand at the forefront of the most disruptive technological and business dynamics of the moment, and will be central to U.S. prosperity going forward.
To consider the future of these industries, the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program hosted a major CEOs forum highlighting the importance of the nation’s advanced industries and the opportunities and challenges they face. Informed by new research from Brookings, the morning-long dialogue convened advanced industry CEOs as well as elected officials to discuss the increased viability of the U.S. platform for advanced industry investment as well as the extraordinary technology trends now altering the terms of competition.

This is the advanced armor invented by the Nazis in 1949.
I have no sophisticated name for this armor or for these soldiers, if you have any name what so ever you are welcome to send me ideas. Also in case you have not noticed these soldiers are without helmets and have nothing to protect their soft delicate heads. I was thinking of using the Arealight airborne clone helmets, the brickwarriors RT Helmets (Gears of War helmet), or the BrickForge ODST helmets, I am not sure which to use.
If you are interested in making these guys I advise you its hard stuff, you'll need star wars commander Bly action figures, super glue and scissors.........and of course paint. If you have any questions of advice just ask me. All originality of this armor idea goes to the 'Bricker for he is the one who has first made this armor.
Also these would make very nice Warhammer 40k Space Marines

My PADI Advanced Open Water Divers after certification, on the top deck of the Bahagia Wreck in Redang. I like this shot very much because it's dynamic, the students look happy and very comfortable with their surroundings. They will make good divers.
Narrandera. Population. 3,800.
There is a monument to Captain Charles Sturt in Narrandera near the Murrumbidgee. It was erected and unveiled on 12th December 1929 to celebrate the Centenary of Captain Sturt camping at Narrandera. Sturt passed here on 12th December 1829 camping on the river banks. Captain Sturt and his party of men began the journey on the south bank of Murrumbidgee on 29th November 1829 below Yass. The exploration party hauled the whaleboat in the drays and carts being pulled by the bullocks as they slowly advanced along the banks of the Murrumbidgee River until Christmas Day when they reached the Lachlan River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee north of Balranald. This confluence is about 35 kms north of Balranald. They camped at Yanga near a big swamp from 26 December to 6 January. Then they began to assemble the whaleboat and they made a small skiff to be pulled behind it. The whaleboat was thought to be ideal as it had pointed ends for speed and it had a mast for sailing and usually it could be rowed along a river. Only after Sturt had explored and discovered that the Murrumbidgee did not end up in a huge marsh area with no outflowing river like the Macquarie River but continued as a major river did he prepare leave the Yanga camp. They launched the whaleboat and skiff and set off from here to find the riddle of the rivers. This occurred on the 6th January Sturt when Sturt selected some of the party to stay at that spot near Yanga for a week in case they could not continue if the river became unnavigable. Then that group was to return the drays and horses to Goulburn. They said their goodbyes to each other on 7th January and from 7th to 14th January Sturt and his party rowed but mainly sailed their way down the Murrumbidgee River from the Balranald area to its junction with a bigger river - the Murray River.
The white story of Narrandera goes back to 1848 when the Narrandera pastoral run, taken out by Edward Flood, was first acknowledged. It comprised nearly 78,000 acres. Others runs soon followed including Gillenbah on the southern of the Murrumbidgee River. But relations between the Wiradjuri people and the early pastoralists were not always cordial hence the naming of Murdering Island, one of the tiny islands in the meandering river. In 1873 a Wagga Wagga newspaper mentioned Murdering Island but it was 1895 when another newspaper wrote one man’s account of a massacre of a sub clan of Wiradjuri on this island in 1854. It was retaliation for Aborigines spearing cattle. According to this person the whites shot the men, women and children and only one member of the clan escaped alive. Most Aboriginal clans had 100 or less people in them as tribes were usually divided by eight totem groups so probably around 100 people were massacred. The island is near Poisoned Waterways Creek, an anabranch of the Murrumbidgee River, and it was as presumably named for being “poisoned” by Aboriginal bodies. No maps name Murdering Island.
After the passing of the Robertstown Act in 1861 the first selectors came and took up their 320 acre properties with the first in 1862. By 1872 the owners of Gillenbah run had 710 freehold acres. A small hotel near the river crossing had opened on Gillenbah run in 1856 followed by a store and post service in 1858. But Gillenbah did not become the main town. Surveyor Edward Twynham surveyed and laid out Narrandera in 1859 but it was not proclaimed until 1863 although town lots were sold in 1860. Further subdivisions occurred into the 1890s especially once the railway arrived in 1881. Narrandera got a Courthouse in 1862, a Post Office in 1861, a school building was started in 1870 but the building was not completed until 1873, and a new building added in 1883. A bank did not open until 1880 and this bank, the Commercial Bank of Sydney, built fine premises in 1884. The Bank of NSW followed them in 1888. Some buildings and features to look for in the Main Street area- East Street and Audley, Larmer, Douglas and Aspley streets..
