ISS034-E-062076 (3 March 2013) --- The banana in the hands of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield serves as a definite tell-tale clue about the recent arrival of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.
Fresh fruit, along with other food and supplies, arrived aboard the unmanned spacecraft on March 3. Seen inside Node 1 or Unity, the Expedition 34 flight engineer and
assigned Expedition 35 commander didn't take long to "examine" the merchandise. The hatch to the U.S. lab Destiny is in the background.
It's Monday & I'm standing in front of my wardrobe. Unfortunately I share it with Mr. Middleaged who has his section chock-a-block full of almost identical striped business shirts & Big Name Suits. My daughter says that it's like opening Clark Kent's wardrobe.
This outfit is what I managed to drag out of my section this morning. It's quite a mish mash of styles & colours & features almost aeronautically engineered layering. It's my attempt to dress for autumn, except that I got really hot in the middle of the day. The skirt is a thrifted & remixed paisley number made of nylon; the tunic is new from a cheap clothes from China shop & so is the retro-inspired double flower belt; thrifted early nineties cropped jacket by 'Simona'; old wooden beads, footless tights, 'Sportsgirl'.

LOS ANGELES--U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District and Los Angeles County officials broke ground Feb. 22 on a project designed to restore degraded habitat in the San Fernando Valley.
Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, Public Works Deputy Director Mark Pestrella and District Commander Col. Mark Toy ceremonially turned dirt for the start of the $7 million Tujunga Wash Ecosystem Restoration project that will extend greening along the sides of a 3/4-mile stretch of concrete channel that carries runoff from Hansen Dam to the Los Angeles River.
Corps contractors will construct a meandering manmade stream, complete with native riparian vegetation and pedestrian pathways, on the west bank of the channel between Vanowen St. and Sherman Way. The east bank will be planted with native, drought-tolerant perennials and shrubs. The restoration project will connect to the county's Tujunga Wash Greenway project just to the south, creating a riparian habitat corridor nearly 2.5 miles long.
"Every segment of this wash that we've restored has had their neighborhood just thrilled with the beautification," said Yaroslavsky. "It's just an improvement of the quality of life."
Community residents Stan and Lynne Friedman, among the nearly a dozen community members in attendance at the ceremony, couldn't have agreed more with Yaroslavsky. They've lived along the barren channel for nearly 40 years.
"We're pretty excited about the project," Stan said. "We think it's a great idea."
"It'll be nice to look out at and take a walk in," added Lynne.
Toy told the residents and county partners in the audience that the project will effectively combine flood risk management with ecosystem restoration and recreation.
"We owe this to you, to create a community that you can walk down and enjoy the great outdoors," said Toy. "We have so much momentum right now with the LA River Watershed, not only with America's Great Outdoors Initiative, but the Urban Waters Federal Partnership Program."
Both programs share goals that include reconnecting people to their waterways and promoting water conservation.
According to Pestrella, the project brings multiple benefits that will serve as a model for a sustainable and healthy stream system in a dense, urban area of the valley.
"That water will eventually someday become part of the drinking water here in LA," said Pestrella. "It'll also help us with pollution issues. As pollution reaches the channel and we bring the water up onto the top of the channel, it's recharged eliminating a number of pollutants before it reaches our groundwater again."
Tujunga Wash was channelized in the 1950's curbing flooding in the developing area, but also halting the wash's natural function. Some of that function will be restored, providing opportunities for migratory bird nesting, wildlife movement, recreation and education, none of which will reduce the capacity of the flood control system.
The Corps is funding 75 percent of the project costs under its Continuing Authorities Program, Section 1135 of the Water Resources Development Act, that allows improvement of the quality of the environment in the public interest. Los Angeles County Flood Control District, which operates and maintains the wash, will fund the remaining 25 percent of the total project costs. Construction is scheduled to be completed this summer.
Latvian and U.S. officials opened the reconstructed Kurzeme Regional Dispatch Center, serving more than 262,000 citizens, Aug. 20 in Kuldiga. The project came to fruition through the partnership of Latvia’s State Emergency Medical Services, Kuldīga Hospital, U.S. European Command, U.S. Embassy Riga’s Office of Defense Cooperation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District and SIA Koger Vide, a Latvian contractor. EUCOM’s Civic Engagement Program funded the reconstruction abandoned Soviet-era building. USACE managed the construction of the center that will serve as a hub for 25 medical brigades located in 15 different locations throughout the Kurzeme region.

Description:
On September 11th, 2001, three skyscrapers collapsed quickly and evenly, straight down into their own footprints.
We are expected to believe that these extraordinary collapses were the result of plane strikes and fire.
However, all three buildings had structural designs that would have made such collapses impossible without sophisticated technological assistance.
No amount of plane strikes or fire could ever bring such buildings down in such a fashion.
Millions of Americans are demanding a new, independent investigation into the collapsing of these buildings.
Amongst these millions, there is now an ever-growing group of architects and engineers who want some real answers:

The best part of any career in science is your opportunity to make things better. We can dream about a better way, but we need technicians to make those dreams a reality. It is so rewarding to be part of a team developing tangible solutions, exploring new frontiers, and seeing the fruits of our efforts!

COHOES, N.Y. – New York Army National Guard Soldiers of the 1156th Engineer Company load their tools and equipment as part of the final efforts in their community project here June 13 to restore a former Erie Canal lock into a public park. The Soldiers provided a week-long effort as part of their annual training each year since 2011 to remove debris from the abandoned lock, overgrown since 1911. The City of Cohoes partnered with the Guard engineers to remove the debris, install drainage and develop a walking path as part of the lock’s conversion to a public site. U.S. Army photo by Sgt.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – About 350 middle and high school-age girls and their parents explored career paths in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) during the 3rd Annual Girls Engineer It Day, Feb. 1, 2014 at Woodville Tomkins High School. Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District presented an interactive floodplain model to demonstrate the Corps’ role in managing water resources. Beth Williams, dam and levee safety program manager, and Regulatory Specialists Sherelle Reinhardt and Sarah Wise talked with the students about a variety of topics including wetland conservation, the Corps’ permitting program, and the functions of dams and levees. The Corps employs many STEM professionals to include structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, architects, hydrologists, biologists, natural resource managers, and more.
