Jackie Encinas speaks about her project, Alaska Ecological Conservation II, Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters building in Washington. Every summer early career researchers from NASA’s DEVELOP National Program come to NASA Headquarters and present their research projects. DEVELOP is a training and development program where early career researchers work on Earth science projects, mentored by science advisors from NASA and partner agencies, and provide research results to local communities.

Out of Date Delta 100 developed in out of date Jessops C-41 developer, 1+1 for 10mins @ 20C. Negs are thin and so are the frame markings on film. Need more time to cook but still got loads out of the neg. No post process work.
I really do like square format!
This is what we often see in Taiwan - all kinds of parking by a road/in an alley, in our daily life. Yes, it looks crowded, and unorganized, yet we managed to make it through... :-)

PS - This roll was done on 2014/2/17, developed by a local studio (五色鳥) on 2014/2/19, and scanned with "Epson Perfection V600 Photo" on 2014/2/27.
To develop the park began in 1976, the 200th anniversary year of American independence, to celebrate the relationship between the two freedom-loving countries, Israel and the US. The forest developed and extended an existing woodland planted in the region in the 1950s by new immigrants from the surrounding area and nearby Beit Shemesh, who had arrived soon after the founding of the State of Israel.
I developed my drawings and research into samples. The sample on the top left was made using bondaweb to attach dog treat wrappers onto lace, to form the word walkies which is recognised by my dog. I also stitched into these to make sure they were on securely. I then hand embroidered the shape of my dog's favourite toy and to embellish this further I added some beads to the centre of the flowers on the lace within the toy.
The second sample of the top right was made using the tjap technique. I printed the shape of paw prints using wax onto polycotton and then used batik paint to add colour to the background: leaving the shapes of the paw prints in white. I embellished this sample using beads, and showed the change in colour of the background through the way I beaded the paw prints.
The bottom left sample was made by trapping wool, dog treat wrappers and wrapping paper in a plastic pocket. I cut the wrappers into shapes which represented my dog to make it more interesting and then embellished it further by adding zig zag stitch to the wool and embroidery and beading to the paw and bone shapes.
The forth sample was made by printing off a collage of pictures of my dog and the Dogs Trust we rehomed him from. I then transferred this onto polycotton and quilted it by using zig zag stitching around the pictures in different colours to frame them. I also used free embroidery to stitch into the pictures to show the scruffy effect of his hair.

Persistent Gender Inequality in Iraq Calls for Coordinated Efforts in Developing 2nd National Action Plan on Implementing Resolution 1325
Baghdad, Iraq, 3 October 2018 – Gender inequality continues to prevail in Iraq with worrisome signals that it is deepening, requiring intensified efforts and coordination in developing a new action plan on implementing UN Security Council resolution 1325, UN Representative to Iraq Ján Kubiš said today at the high-level consultation meeting on the development of the 2nd National Action Plan. Although he was encouraged to see progress in the protection pillar and dedicated efforts to strengthen the participation pillar in the National Action Plan, the legacy of the conflict with the terrorist Da’esh continues to hamper steps forward and there are other worrying signs of women being targeted.
Mr. Kubiš condemned the recent attacks against women, including the assassination of two women and the sudden death of two others in the past month, all of them active in political and social spheres. Other civil society activists including women are targeted by social media and political threat campaign, among others for their contacts with foreign embassies. This is unacceptable.
“Only once politically and socially active women are protected and safe, Iraq can claim to be making real progress towards women’s equality and empowerment,” he said.
The development of a new NAP with all the diversity and complexity of issues will require continuous coordination and collaboration across sectors, in particular involving civil society, and drawing from the lessons learned from the previous plan, the Special Representative said.
“By making your deliberations open to the society, by publicly broadcasting them you could mobilise even broader support for your objectives,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq noted with disappointment that political forces that negotiate the formation of the government do so, again without the participation of women. “We all need to ask: “when the political leaders intend to deliver on their pledges to empower women and advance their rights as a part of the democratic entitlement of all Iraqis thus strengthening equal representation and inclusiveness? The time is now. Otherwise, all the exclamations about commitment to equality of women and values of democracy continue to sound hollow.”
Mr. Kubiš outlined UN efforts in support of women empowerment, noting that UNAMI supports women parliamentarians in their quest to establish a cross-political women’s parliamentary caucus. UNAMI will continue to impress on Political Parties who are key to advancing the participation of women in all processes to include women in their leadership structures, urging men advocates to assume a more prominent role, and parliamentarians to consider gender responsive budget in the next budget law to enhance the implementation of the NAP. The UN will also continue to advocate for the establishment of a dedicated institution in the next government structure with budget and authority to coordinate the implementation of the NAP and national frameworks and policies on WPS.
The UN in Iraq will also mobilise support of the broader international community, including through the International Gender Group from among embassies here in Baghdad, Mr. Kubiš concluded.
