Nuestro Director General envía un respetuoso saludo a todas las valiosas mujeres en su día.
"A todas nuestras mujeres, empezando por mis mujeres policías, estas mujeres tan valiosas que muchas veces alejándose de su hogar, dejando sus hijos y esperando a que ellas regresen de prestarle un servicio a la comunidad, estando a la intemperie bajo las condiciones difíciles del trabajo, en la oscuridad de la noche pero aun así unas mujeres formidables que desbordan su amor con la comunidad pero también lo hacen con sus familias, un saludo especial.
Pido a todos mis policías pero en especial a todos los colombianos que abracemos a estas mujeres pero sobretodo que las protejamos, las protejamos de la violencia, las protejamos de las dificultades, que no permitamos que mano alguna se pose sobre ellas y por el contrario que seamos unos defensores absolutos de su condición humana.
Para todas ellas un abrazo inmenso pero sobre todo mi admiración y mi respeto por lo que significan como mujeres, como madres y como integrantes de una familia porque son ustedes el vértice principal del fortalecimiento de nuestro núcleo familiar, un abrazo y Dios me las proteja".
Mujer, eres dulzura, amor y valentía.
Mayor General Oscar Atehortua Duque, Director General de la Policía Nacional de Colombia.

UN Women Executive Director with the UN Resident Coordinator Simon Springett and UN Women Representative to Moldova Dominika Stojanoska.
While in Moldova, the Executive Director met with Springett and the UNHCR Representative Francesca Bonneli to discuss the role and contribution of UN Women to the coordinated refugee response, as well as the UN support to the implementation of the development agenda, particularly regarding gender equality.
The Executive Director visited the Republic of Moldova from 8 to 10 April 2022 to reaffirm UN Women’s commitment as a key partner to advance gender equality and women’s leadership in the country. During her visit, Bahous emphasized UN Women’s determination to support Moldova’s efforts as a host country to the thousands of refugees fleeing the war in neighbouring Ukraine.
In cooperation with local authorities and civil society organisations, UN Women supports 2000 refugee women and their children in temporary placement centres in Moldova by providing most essential needs. In coordination with the border police, UN Women provided wheelchairs and walkers to assist elderly people and women with small babies at the border crossings. Meanwhile, through the Women, Peace and Humanitarian Fund, UN Women is financially supporting civil society organisations to raise awareness about sexual and gender-based violence and respond to the most urgent needs of women and children.
UN Women is working with partners to ensure that there is up-to-date data on and analysis of the gender dynamics of the refugee crisis which is critical for supporting humanitarian actors in ensuring a gender-responsive refugee response. UN Women and IOM issued a survey which offers important data and analysis on refugee needs, intentions and displacement patterns.

WIPO Director General Daren Tang (third from left) outlined further action on gender equality in Chile.
Addressing a National Institute of Intellectual Property (INAPI) event on Intellectual Property (IP) and Gender, he pledged to continue to work together to raise IP awareness and break down gender barriers in Chile and beyond, telling attendees, "Our goal is not to be a talk shop that operates in far-away Geneva, our mission is to deliver real impact in Chile, across the region, and around the world.”
As part of the event, Mr. Tang met Patricia Barros (second from right), CEO of Soquimat, and one of 32 beneficiaries of a WIPO program in support of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) careers.
The event took place during an official visit to Chile.

Born January 28, 1939, in Goose Creek, Texas, but considers Pullman, Washington, to be his hometown. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America where he achieved its second highest rank, Life Scout. Recreational interests include politics and environmental advocacy.[1]
In 1998 he retired to Port Ludlow, Washington, bordered by Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains on northwest Washington's Olympic Peninsula. In 2002 he helped form the Hood Canal Coalition, an environmental watchdog group opposing a new industrial harbor complex and a gravel mine's shipping operation slated to transverse the Hood Canal Bridge.[1]
From 2000 to 2011, he participated in the "Lunch with an Astronaut" and "Astronaut Encounter" programs at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Education
Graduated from Pullman High School, Pullman, Washington, in 1957; received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University in 1962; a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology in 1964; and a Doctorate in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the University of Washington in 1974. While at Washington State University, he was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. Member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau engineering honor societies.[1] WSU Commander of Arnold Air Society 1960–61.
Military experience
Fabian, an Air Force ROTC student at Washington State University, was commissioned upon graduation in 1962. After an assignment at the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, he was assigned as an aeronautics engineer in the service engineering division, San Antonio Air Material Area, Kelly Air Force Base, Texas. He then attended flight training at Williams Air Force Base, Arizona, and subsequently spent 5 years as a KC-135 co-pilot, aircraft commander, and instructor pilot at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan. He saw action in Southeast Asia, flying 90 combat missions. Following additional graduate work at the University of Washington, he served 4 years on the faculty of the Aeronautics Department at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado where he was a tenured associate professor.
He has logged 4,000 hours flying time, including 3,400 hours in jet aircraft.[1]
NASA experience
Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in January 1978, and became an astronaut in August 1979. During the following years, he worked extensively on satellite deployment and retrieval activities, including development of the Canadian Remote Manipulator System. A veteran of two space flights, he has logged over 316 hours in space. He served as a mission specialist on STS-7 (June 18-June 24, 1983) and STS-51G (June 17–24, 1985). He was scheduled to fly next in May 1986 on STS-61G, and was also in training for space shuttle life science mission SLS-1.

During the mission, the crew deployed satellites for Canada (ANIK C-2) and Indonesia (PALAPA B-1); operated the Canadian-built Remote Manipulator System (RMS) to perform the first deployment and retrieval exercise with the Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-01); conducted the first formation flying of the Orbiter with a free-flying satellite (SPAS-01); carried and operated the first U.S./German cooperative materials science payload (OSTA-2): and operated the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES) and the Monodisperse Latex Reactor (MLR) experiments, in addition to activating seven Getaway Specials, Mission duration was 147 hours before landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on June 24, 1983.[2]
Fabian was the first person to deploy and subsequently retrieve a free-flying satellite. In doing so, he used the Canadian-built robotic arm to release and later recapture the SPAS-01 satellite.[citation needed]
On his second mission, Fabian flew on STS-51-G which launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on June 17, 1985, and landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on June 24, 1985, after completing approximately 170 hours of space flight. This international crew deployed communications satellites for Mexico (Morelos), the Arab League (Arabsat), and the United States (AT&T Telstar). They used the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) to deploy and later retrieve the SPARTAN satellite which performed 17 hours of x-ray astronomy experiments while separated from the Space Shuttle. In addition, the crew activated the Automated Directional Solidification Furnace (ADSF), six Getaway Specials, participated in biomedical experiments, and conducted a laser tracking experiment as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative.[1]

I didn't crop this picture to do this other one
this was done with 2 different pictures : I had the 135mm at this moment in the show and I just couldn't get a shot with both the hand and the face of Simon so I took two shots in a row and hoped I could do something later on with photoshop.
I did and had a good time doing it but I prefer the one with just the hand but it's always good to say that a photography is not a moment but a small part of it and the photographer just decides just how much of the reality he will put in it.

If your musical tastes run from the guitarsenals of Amon Duul II to the mind warps of The Animated Egg, then you might agree that Ty Segall and Tim Presley, aka White Fence, have just made one of the best new psych-garage albums of the early 21st Century. For this episode, they teamed up with friends Mikal Cronin (bass) and Nick Murray (drums) to deliver a sonic freakout par excellence. That director Michael Reich and engineer Jon Gilbert captured them performing live together for the first time is just-in the truest sense of the word-awesome.

Washington - March 23, 2016. Deputy Director of the U.S. Marshals Service David L. Harlow announces the results of the U.S. Marshals led Operation VR12.
This six-week initiative, resulted in the arrest of more than 8,075 gang members, sex offenders and other violent criminals.
While Operation VR12 was conducted nationwide in all 94 federal judicial districts, U.S. Marshals focused special attention on 12 selected locations, designated as priority cities by the U.S. Department of Justice: Baltimore; Brooklyn, New York; Camden, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois; Compton, California; Fresno, California; Gary, Indiana; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; New Orleans; Oakland, California; Savannah, Georgia; and Washington, D.C.
In order to have the greatest impact on violent crime, Operation VR12 focused on fugitives who had three or more prior felony arrests for crimes such as murder, attempted murder, robbery, aggravated assault, arson, abduction/kidnapping, weapon offenses, sexual assault, child molestation and narcotics. Operation VR12 investigators increased their focus on fugitives accused of sex crimes and on the recovery of missing children.
Between February 1 and March 11, the U.S. Marshals Service used its multi-jurisdictional investigative authority and fugitive task force network to arrest 648 gang members and others wanted on charges including 559 for homicide; and 946 for sexual offenses. In addition, investigators seized 463 firearms, $390,360 in currency, and more than 71 kilograms of illegal narcotics. Also during the operation, investigators recovered 17 children who had been abducted and reported missing.

Hugh Davis had a job as a director of a Tulsa zoo, and he and his wife Zelta ran an alligator farm just off of Route 66. In the early 1970s Hugh dropped the gators and turned the sping-fed pond on their land into a sort of swimming hole for his children. The kids said they needed something to jump off of into the water, and Hugh went to work without letting on what he was building.
Hugh presented the 80-foot whale to Zelta on their anniversary. Hugh's notes show the whale was built for $1,910.24, quite a bit in 1970's dollars. He used 126 sacks of Portland cement and $5.75 in nails to tack down the original redwood decking. It's framework is made of welded pipe.
By the mid-1970s, the smiling whale had become the centerpiece of Hugh and Zelta's new attraction, Nature's Acres, which also featured Animal Reptile Kingdom (A.R.K., housed in a replica of Noah's Ark) and the Arrowood Trading Post (on the other side of 66), run by Hugh's Indian brother-in-law, Chief Wolf-Robe Hunt. The spring-fed pond had been enlarged by Hugh into a commercial swimming hole, and the Blue Whale became a Route 66 icon.
Hugh and Zelta eventually closed the attraction around 1988, and Hugh died in 1990. The pond got scummy, the Ark was abandoned and, although still standing, is now crumbling beyond repair. That fate could have befallen the Blue Whale as well, which for a decade fell into disrepair. Luckily various companies and preservationists have stepped in over the years to help keep the whale going. In August of 2002, Hampton/Hilton Hotels Corp had chosen the whale as the 12th project in its “Explore the Highway with Hampton, Save A Landmark” Program. With Hampton's help, a new fence was erected, the old snack bar was repainted and a new septic system was installed to serve visitor needs.

UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner launches the UNEP Live platform at the Group on Earth Observations summit in Geneva.
From January 13 to 17, 2014 Geneva’s CICG center will be the site of a major international conference and exhibit aimed at improving access to critical information on the global environment. The GEO-X Plenary and Geneva Ministerial Summit brings together experts from 90 governments and nearly 70 organizations and will include an exhibit of cutting edge technology and more than 30 forums and panel discussions, many open to the general public. Topics will include Agriculture and Food Security, Measuring Biodiversity, Disaster Risk Reduction, Cholera Early Warning, Ocean Acidification, UNEP Live!, and Water Security. The summit will be presided over by GEO’s four co-chairs: China, the European Commission, South Africa and the United States. The United States will be represented at GEO-X by a high level multiagency delegation.
For nearly a decade, the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has been driving the interoperability of thousands of individual space-based, airborne and in situ Earth observations around the world. Often these separate systems yield just snapshot assessments, leading to critical gaps in scientific understanding. GEO is addressing such gaps by providing easy, open access to organized observations that enable an increasingly integrated view of our changing Earth. Summit participants will look at how the international community can increase the sustainability and quality of observation networks and make the maximum possible volume of data freely accessible. For sound science to shape sound policy, leaders and other decision-makers require this fuller picture as an indispensable foundation of environmental decision-making.

Bureau of Land Management Director Tracy Stone-Manning meets with Medford District leadership and local officials at the site of the Cogswell salvage timber sale in August 2022.
After the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire, much of the timber in the area was damaged. What remained was either sold or used to restore local habitat. Working with teams at the McKenzie River Trust and McKenzie Watershed Alliance, we used approximately 1,250 logs as in-stream restoration structures to improve fish habitat.
