The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) works to reduce the cases of violence against Afghan women and girls. In a training organized in Qala-e-Zal district of north-eastern Kunduz province by the Mission’s human rights officers on Wednesday, various aspects of the country’s laws in protecting women’s rights – particularly the Law on the Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) – were discussed. Some 40 participants – including female teachers and students, police and law enforcement authorities, community elders, district officials, representatives of the National Directorate of Security and civil society organizations – received the training. UNAMA’s latest report on the implementation of the landmark Afghan law, released last year, noted that Afghan authorities registered more reports of violence against women under the EVAW Law in 2013, but prosecutions and convictions remained low, with most cases settled by mediation.

STUTTGART, Germany - Project officers from U.S. Africa Command’s Counternarcotics and Law Enforcement Assistance Division participated in an orientation and hands-on demonstration, March 10, 2010, where they learned the specifics of a four-piece drug test kit, capable of testing for six different illegal substances in solid, tablet, liquid, or powder form. The demonstration, which took place at the command’s headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany was also filmed for use as a teaching aid to familiarize African law enforcement officials with drug test kits. Drug kits can have a tremendous impact in the hands of law enforcement officers in Africa, serving as a quick tool for law enforcement officials to confirm whether an unknown substance is illegal and needs to be further tested. Early detection can eliminate time and money being spent to do high dollar analysis in laboratories for substances that turn out to be innocuous. AFRICOM’s Counternarcotics Division is planning to assist several African nations with developing this capability in 2010. (U.S. AFRICOM photo)

As soon the word spread around the international community joined forces with the volunteers and the Pakistan Army in the rescue and relief efforts. Teams of doctors, peacekeeping troops, civil engineers, construction companies, aviators all gave an answering call of love and support when it was needed the most. This was a true spirit of believing that we speak humanity. The foreign aid and assistance even came from India as well, a gesture very well received that all our differences and disputes are certainly not more important than the suffering people on either side of the border.

DAS Clements “It is our deepest hope that the violence that has created this humanitarian emergency will end, and with it, the suffering of the Syrian people. It is essential that all donors do their utmost to guarantee that our humanitarian response does not falter for lack of funds. Donors must step forward and provide resources now.” The United States will continue to support the important work that international and non-governmental organizations carry out in the region in conjunction with the generous nations of Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq, who are hosting and assisting those fleeing the brutal violence in Syria.

What an amazing feeling it is when you know that you helped someone who truly needs assistance and would not have been able to afford it. To know that it is because of your help, someone’s life got a
little bit easier and safer. That was the goal and vision of Joseph Harper, a boy with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, who 5 years ago created The Wheeled Scotsman’s Foundation to do just that….to help people with mobility is...sues who cannot afford to make their homes safe because certain accommodations like ramps, pull bars in the bathroom, wheelchair accessible showers, etc. are usually not covered by insurance. Sadly, Joey passed away in January of 2010, yet his vision and legacy lives on in the people whose lives he has impacted as well as his family and friends who continue to run The Wheeled Scotsman.
It is with renewed vigor and urgency that we push forward and try to help as many people as we can. To date, The Wheeled Scotsman Foundation has been able to help more than 10 families make their homes safer. We send out our contractors, pay for all permits, and complete all work at absolutely no cost to the family or individual. Although we wish we could help everyone on our waiting list, we are limited by funds. 100% of the money raised through fundraisers, like the Black Sheep Run, is spent to help others and this is where we need your help!!!
The Kid’s 1 Mile Fun Run will start at 9 am. The Family Fun Walk will start at 9:15 am. The 5K will start at 9:30 am. Dogs on leashes and baby strollers are all welcomed. Awards will be given when all the races for that day have finished. This includes: top male and female for each category as well as the top five males and females of each category will also be recognized. Categories consist of: dogs on leash, baby joggers, and headphones
you can sign up for this event at active.com just put in Black Sheep Run Warminster PA and our event will pop up!!!!

Photo from a Geophysical Field Assistance (Calhoun Experimental Forest located in Union County, South Carolina) by Wes Tuttle, Soil Scientist (Geophysical), USDA-NRCS-NSSC, Wilkesboro, NC:

This subsoil provides several challenges to soil scientists in field classification by Soil Taxonomy. The soil properties are reflective of several subgroups with multiple soil features. It was identified by local soil scientists as an inclusion of Cataula soil (fine, kaolinitic, thermic Oxyaquic Kanhapludults) within an area mapped originally as Appling soil (fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Kanhapludults).
Cataula soils are very deep, moderately well drained soils formed in material weathered from metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Piedmont. They contain a subsoil layer that is dense and partially brittle with a transitory perched water table at a depth of 60 to 120 cm in December to March.
From ph and parent materials it was assumed base status was low and kandic. However, clay distribution was uncertain (pale v. haplic). Possible great groups include Kandiudults and Kanhapludults. Based of field texture, the pedon was assumed to be most likely haplic-- a Kanhapludult.
Areas of consideration:
Aquic conditions--Color segregations started at a depth of about 80 cm with 2 chroma depletions at a depth within 100 cm indicating a seasonal water table. Based on depth to contemporary 2 chroma depletions greater than 75cm, but within 100 cm, an Oxyaquic designation is appropriate.
FSP (fragic soil properties). Cataula soils have a Btx horizon with brittle material occupying about 20 to 60 percent of the horizon. If root-limiting, this horizon meets the definition of fragic soil properties (have a firm or firmer rupture-resistance class and a brittle manner of failure when soil water is at or near field capacity and restrict the entry of roots into the matrix when soil water is at or near field capacity). The OSD indicates that roots are along the top of this horizon and only a few extend along vertical faces of peds for a depth of 2 or 3 inches. The Fragic subgroup has in 30 percent or more of the volume of a layer 15 cm or more thick that has its upper boundary within 100 cm of the mineral soil surface. The Btx horizon in this pedon appears to meet the criteria for FSP and the fragic subgroup, but not to the extent of a fragipan horizon. This leads to the question of the type of structure associated with the fragipan horizon. Currently, platy structure is not identified as characteristic for a fragipan, even though the other required properties are present.
Presence of plinthite. When the red-gray lenticular color pattern is observed, plinthite is a consideration if the reddish material is firm and brittle and especially if cemented. Although parent material may be a key to plinthite formation, its identification is not limited to any particular parent material type. In the southeastern U.S., plinthite is generally associated with upper coastal plain deposits, however, this does not automatically exclude residual or old alluvial sediments if the soils exhibit plinthic properties.
The platy to lenticular red zones in the profile are described as dense and brittle and in the OSD as cemented. Although plinthite does not require cementation, dry or moist aggregates do not slake in water. However, they are required to irreversibly hardened upon exposure. One way to check for this is to observe the presence or absence of hardened aggregates on exposed surfaces as roadcuts. A simple water emersion of the aggregates will help determine if plinthite is a consideration.
Subgroup consideration for this Kanhapludult:
Oxyaquic--
In normal years are saturated with water in one or more layers within 100 cm of the mineral soil surface for either or both 20 or more consecutive days; or 30 or more cumulative days. The pedon is assumed to meet this criteria.
Plinthic--
Have 5 percent or more (by volume) plinthite in one or more horizons within 150 cm of the mineral soil surface. If the iron rich red platy material does not slake in water, is firm or very firm, and is brittle, it is most likely plinthite.
Fragic--
Have fragic soil properties in 30 percent or more of the volume of a layer 15 cm or more thick that has its upper boundary within 100 cm of the mineral soil surface. The pedon is assumed to meet this criteria.
If the aforementioned subgroup criteria are met, based on the order of the KST, these soils classify as:
Oxyaquic Kanhapludult--
Cataula soil series (red subsoil) a fine, kaolinitic, thermic Oxyaquic Kanhapludult
or Hard Labor soil series (brown subsoil) a fine, kaolinitic, thermic Oxyaquic Kanhapludult.
Even though the plinthic or fragic subgroups properties may be present, the Key excludes them from being recognized at the family level for Kanhapludults by virtue of the order of the Key (i.e., Oxyaquic keys out before plinthic or fragic). They may however be used to separate soils at the series level.
Ironically, if the soil has pale clay distribution and is a Kandiudult, these soils classify as:
Plinthic Kandiudults, or if plinthite is not identified, as:
Oxyaquic Kandiudults.
A fragic subgroup does not currently exist in the Kandiudult great group. In addition, in Kandiudults, the Oxyaquic subgroup follows the Plinthic subgroup, but in Kanhapludults the Oxyxaquic subgroup precedes the Plinthic subgroup.
In other soil classification systems (such as the FAO-WRB system) the additional subgroups are recognized in classification (e.g., an Oxyaquic Plinthic Fragic Kanhapludult).
