CAMP ZAMA, Japan - Hundreds of Soldiers, Airmen, civilians and their families from the Camp Zama community kicked off Army Birthday Week with sports, games and tournaments designed to build camaraderie and esprit de corps throughout U.S. Army Japan Command. For five days dozens of units from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force will compete in various challenges to test their cumulative strength, speed, endurance and dexterity. From team sports, golf scrambles and swim relays to bowling tournaments, relay races and free throw competitions, the Army Birthday Week events offer a variety of team competitions and individual contests that maximize appeal across the entire sports spectrum.
The “Not in My Squad” challenge offered the most unique competition appearing in this week’s lineup. Nine representatives from Camp Zama’s Army and Air Force units endured a series of physically draining events spread along a three-mile route. The teams worked together to carry five-gallon cans of water to each event where they performed various exercises comprising hundreds of pushups, situps, pullups, tire flips and kettle bell curls. The challenge concluded with a role-play scenario that tested the teams’ cumulative knowledge about how to handle a sexual harassment incident.
A unit that wins first place in a specific event earns five points, while second and third place finishes earn three and two points respectively. Every unit that participates in an event earns one point.
As of June 15, 2016, U.S. Army Aviation Battalion maintains the lead with 35 points. The 441st Military Intelligence Battalion holds second place with 29 points and Medical Department Activity-Japan pulled into third place with 27 points. U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) remains in fourth place with 23 points. Since Monday USARJ has earned third place in the soccer tournament, second place in the "Not in My Squad" challenge, and first place in the swim relay.
On Friday, June 17, all teams will convene at the Camp Zama High School sports complex to compete to foot races and cheer on their comrades in the annual tug-of-war bout and soccer match between the JGSDF’s Central Readiness Force U.S. service members stationed Camp Zama.

Community Garden at the United Methodist Church in Bothell, WA. Photographed with a Minolta srTsc-II SLR 35mm camera using a Minolta MD 50mm f/1.4 lens with a yellow filter. The film is Kodak Plus-x-Aerecon II that expired in 1998. I developed it in Beerenol.
The Recipe:
Beer (cheap Lager, I used Rainier) - 12oz
Sodium Carbonate (Arm & Hammer Washing Soda) - 2.75 Tsp
Ascorbic Acid Powder (Vitamin C) - 1.25 Tsp
Salt (Morton's Iodized Table Salt) - 1/4 Tsp
Developed at 20 degrees C for 20 minutes. Agitate first 30 seconds then 15 seconds every minute. Due to the very thin nature of this film I only fixed for about 20 seconds.
Warning - Add the Ascorbic Acid after the Sodium Carbonate to avoid a foam explosion.

Something about this image just moves me- not sure what. Taken on my morning walk before I left WNC, with a light dusting of snow, walking my dogs. Mindful photography- or contemplative photography. I was simply walking along, noticing whatever caught my eye, and spoke to me in some way. I also did a horizontal shot, but here I think the vertical works better. I like that bending tree trunk on the right- that finds it way upwards again and straight. Something about the still leaved bush, and the taller, oarger trees, mostly bare of leaves, and the snow, and the two tree trunks framing the bush, holding it. Maybe the path on the left detracts, as a piece of it intrudes - but I sort of like taking photos of things as they are, with less photoshopping things out.
All critical feedback welcome.

This bust of George Washington, elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1900, executed by an unknown sculptor, is a copy of a piece by Jean-Antoine Houdon. George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States from 1789–1797 after serving as Commander-in-Chief and leading the Continental Army to victory over the Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War. As president, he established many of the customs and usages of the new government's executive department. His unilateral Proclamation of Neutrality of 1793 provided a basis for avoiding any involvement in foreign conflicts. He supported plans to build a strong central government by funding the national debt, implementing an effective tax system, and creating a national bank.
The Hall of Fame for Great Americans--the original "Hall of Fame", was conceived of by Dr. Henry Mitchell MacCracken, Chancellor of New York University from 1891 to 1910. It was designed as part of the school's undergraduate campus in University Heights in the Bronx, which is today the campus of Bronx Community College of The City University of New York. The Hall of Fame stands on the heights occupied by the British army in its successful attack upon Fort Washington in the autumn of 1776. MacCracken, once said "Lost to the invaders of 1776, this summit is now retaken by the goodly troop of 'Great Americans', General Washington their leader. They enter into possession of these Heights and are destined to hold them, we trust, forever."
The memorial structure is a sweeping open-air colonnade, 630 feet in length, designed in neoclassical style by the Stanford White. Financed by a gift from Mrs. Finley J. Shepard (Helen Gould), the Hall of Fame was formally dedicated on May 30, 1901. The Colonnade was designed with niches to accommodate 102 sculptured works and currently houses the busts and commemorative plaques of 98 of the 102 honorees elected since 1900. Each bronze bust, executed by a distinguished American sculptor, must be made specifically for The Hall of Fame and must not be duplicated within 50 years of its execution. To be eligible for nomination, a person must have been a native born or naturalized citizen of the United States, must have been dead for 25 years and must have made a major contribution to the economic, political, or cultural life of the nation. Of the 17 categories in The Hall of Fame, Authors is the largest, with Statesmen following closely.
The complex of three buildings adjoining the Colonnade--Gould Memorial Library, the Hall of Languages, and Cornelius Baker Hall of Philosophy--were also designed by Stanford White and bear a close conceptual relationship to the Colonnade, with the library as the central focus.

Some of the newer Metro stations have neighborhood-based art in them, which I think is a great idea. This work, at the U Street Cardoza station is "Community Rhythms" by Alfred J. Smith (with assistance from Howard University Art Department students Daryle Halbert, Troy Johnson, and Charles Nelson).
Formerly known as the Chesley Centennial Park this greenspace is over 2 acres in size, the largest park in the community.

The event was held at the Force’s headquarters in Newton Heath and hosted by Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy and Chief Superintendent Nick Adderley, the local police commander.
The Force’s officers and staff ran a series of events to help raise funds to run the event. Many local businesses also donated gifts and funds.
