On Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, the Department of Veterans Affairs hosted a major Veteran Career Fair in Washington, D.C., where federal agencies and private sector companies partnered to hire Veterans on the spot. The Veteran-focused career fair and exposition was attended by thousands of Veterans competing for approximately 6,400 public and private sector job opportunities. Federal agencies included Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, Interior, Agriculture, Labor and EPA. Over 20 private sector partners included Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Citigroup, Safeway, Washington Area Transit Authority, Philadelphia Police Dept, Johns Hopkins Hospital, JP Morgan and many others.
"Ensuring that Veterans are educated, trained and able to translate their military skills into careers in both the public and private sector continues to be a top priority for the Obama Administration," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "Now more than ever, America needs the knowledge, skills and abilities of our Veterans, and this generation of heroes is capable of transforming the Nation at a time when we need their leadership and ingenuity."

Muriel Bowser, now the official Democratic candidate for the DC Mayoral Election kicked off her Primary Day challenge with a pre-dawn rally for campaign staff, volunteers and supporters a few blocks from Nationals Park in Southeast DC.
Team Bowser members gathered to collect election day materials and enjoy freshly-made gourmet muffins and coffee by Details Catering (www.bizjournals.com/washington/print-edition/2014/03/28/h...), as Bowser energized them with a final and inspirational call to action.
Hundreds of volunteers then dispersed across Washington's eight wards and 143 polling precincts to rally the DC residents whose votes led Bowser to a 44% to 32% win over incumbent Vincent Gray.
Following a long day of canvassing and reaching out to their constituents, the Bowser camp culminated its victory and 12 months of hard work with a celebration at Imagine Southeast Public Charter School off Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue in DC's Ward 8.

Mooresville, NC - If there was ever a time to put down some dominate numbers and come away with a couple of segment victories, this was the weekend. It was the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car's" first double points event of the season and it worked out very well for Kyle Tucker and his Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro Test Car at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI. See all the pics here goo.gl/s8eWXN
As usual, the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross and the Wilwood Speed Stop Challenge were the first segments Saturday morning and provided lots of action whether you were participating or if you were just hanging out in the pits amongst the crowd.
Kyle and the Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro were on point from the get go, laying down times hovering in the mid to high :13's until he put down his best time on his second to last run (:13.60) which was enough to claim the top spot and 50 points for the segment victory. Not to rest on his laurels, Kyle was also pushing hard on the autocross and ended up with 2nd place and another 44 points to add to his weekend collection. Detroit Speed dealer and good friend, Billy Utley took the top spot in the autocross driving his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Chevy Nova.
The road rally took place at the end of the day and took off from the speedway and ended at the Lingenfelter Design Collection in Brighton, MI. Thanks for their hospitality, great food, and beautiful cars to look at. It was, also, 5 minutes from Kyle and Stacy's house where Detroit Speed got its start. It was pretty neat to head back and see where it all started.
Sunday was more of the same from Kyle and the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. The Hot Lap Challenge gave the drivers a chance to really open up their cars with a 1.9 mile inside road course at Michigan. Kyle's first run of the day would have been good enough to capture first place and the full 50 points but he ended up besting that and put down a blistering 1:23.076 a few sessions later that no one was able to come close to.
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Billy Utley. Billy topped the GTV Class and was awarded his invitation to the season ending event in Las Vegas for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats Billy! We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on his podium finish in the GT class and our very own Project Foreman, Chris Porter, on his podium finish in the GTV class.
Rick Hoback, driving his C5 Corvette, had good runs on the road course on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to another commitment, he could only attend on Sunday. Thanks Rick for flying the DSE flag proudly! Rick wasn't the only one flying the flag, DSE “Equipped" cars were out in full force and ran hard all weekend. If you have been following the Optima events in person or on social media, one thing you will notice is all the "63" images and decals around. The decal is for Todd Rumpke, our friend who drives the Snoopy C6 Corvette. He is in a difficult battle right now, and at the end of the day, we are all a family out there and would do anything to support a friend and fellow driver.
Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Michigan Highlights:
• Kyle won the Speed Stop Challenge taking the maximum 50 points during this double points weekend
• Kyle claimed the top spot during the Sunday Hot Lap Challenge
• Kyle finished a close 2nd in the Detroit Speed Sponsored Autocross, finishing just behind Billy Utley.
• Dealer and close friend, Billy Utley, clinched his invite to the season ending event in Las Vegas with a 1st overall in the GTV class in his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Nova
It was another fun weekend full of friends and racing and we eagerly await the next Optima event as it is taking place in our back yard. We look forward to seeing everyone at Charlotte Motor Speedway July 25th - 26th for the next event in the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car" series.

SAGINAW— The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, celebrated Mass at Holy Family Church in Saginaw and led a procession to Veterans Memorial Plaza as part of the Fortnight for Freedom on Wednesday, June 29. The procession included a bagpiper and the Knights of Columbus Color Guard. A wreath was placed at the memorial and Bishop Cistone led the community in prayer. The ceremony, which honored military men and women and their families for their selfless service to the United States, concluded with "God Bless America" and "Taps."
The Fortnight for Freedom, which takes place from June 21 to July 4 is a time when the liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power. These martyrs include St. Thomas More, St. John Fisher, St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul and the first martyrs of the Church of Rome. The theme of this year's Fortnight will focus on the “Witnesses to Freedom.” Learn more about the Fortnight for Freedom here: www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/fortnig...

Introduction:
Latin Name: Trifolium pratense L.
Red clover was used in Chinese traditional medicine and western folk medicine for similar purposes. It has been traditionally used as an antispasmodic, an expectorant, and a sedative for asthma, bronchitis and respiratory spasms. It is also used as blood purifier.
Red clover is used for menopausal symptoms, cancer prevention, indigestion, whooping cough, cough, asthma and bronchitis. For lowering cholesterol, some effects of red clover isoflavones might be involved in modulating lipid metabolism, some researchers think red clover may plays a role in preventing cardiovascular disease due to its potential effects on cholesterol levels.
Functions:
1. For women, stimulate eostrogenic activity, increase fertility, and reduce “hot flashes” experienced by women during menopause.
2. Anti-cancer.
3. One of the most useful remedies for children with skin problems.
4. Expectorant and anti-spasmodic.
5. Relieve the syndrome of irritation and inflammation of urinary tract.
6. Relieve constipation and help soothe inflammation of the bowel, stomach and intestines.
7. Relieve tension due to stress and associated headaches.

On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
Previews Feb. 23–28 | Opening night Mar. 1
A celebration of the simple beauty of being human, this funny and deeply touching exploration of resilience is based on Cheryl Strayed’s (Wild) journey as the beloved anonymous advice columnist for “Dear Sugar.” Over the years, thousands of people turned to Sugar for words of wisdom, compassion and hope. At first unsure of herself, Sugar found a way to weave her own life experiences together with the deep yearning and heartrending questions from her readers. Brilliantly adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, the Academy Award-nominated writer of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

HYPREP’s technical personnel prepare for a Preliminary Site Assessment at Spiez Laboratory’s Lattigen and Nieson sites.
In June 2019, UN Environment organized a technical training to build the technical capacity of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) and its technical personnel. From 11 to 21 June 2019, 21 members of HYPREP’s technical personnel received training on the management and assessment of contaminated land. The training included twelve theory modules followed by two days of field-based exercises and site visits to a soil treatment plant and a remediation site.
In 2018, the United Nations Environment Programme began a project to assist HYPREP to manage the clean-up of oil contamination in Ogoniland. Designed in response to a request from the Government, this project comes as an integral part of the United Nations Environment Programme’s continuing support to the Government of Nigeria to clean up the environmental contamination in Nigeria and achieve lasting peace in the region.

Photos from the Leadership Course on Intellectual Property, Science and Innovation for Women Scientists and Innovators.
Held at the WIPO Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and organized in collaboration with UNESCO and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the course brought together 20 award-winning scientists from 16 countries selected by the "L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science Programme", and took place from April 25-28, 2023.
The scientists had the unique opportunity to learn about the role of intellectual property (IP) in scientific innovation through a customized training delivered by leading IP experts. The course also included a roundtable discussion on “Women in Science – Shaping the Future” which was held on the occasion of World IP Day on April 26, 2023, to spark a conversation on the vital role that women scientists play in driving innovation to improve the lives of people around the world.

I went shopping for a swimsuit and while I was there, I decided to shoot this polygon and I found it a daunting task! The wide angle was not cooperating with me, I tried daylight and tungsten for white balance and of course I did not have my tripod with me and there was no recourse but to handhold :(
Anushka Sharma and Diljit Dosanjh wrap up shooting for Phillauri
Anushka Sharma, Diljit Dosanjh and Suraj Sharma have wrapped up shooting for director Anshai Lal's Phillauri. The film went on floors this Baisakhi and Anushka Sharma shot for the film in Punjab, along with Sultan.
The movie is said to be a fun-filled romance revolving around a crazy Punjabi wedding. Speaking about the film, Karnesh Sharma (of Clean Slate Films) said, "We have completed an exciting-at-times-exhausting-yet-fun shoot. We shot through the Punjab summer and explored some beautiful locations. Phillauri will now begin its post-production in Mumbai, and we are looking forward to the process."
Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios said, "Phillauri is a story that has its heart in the right place. It has a lot of fun, superb music and loads of desi color. So far, the shoot has gone as we planned. Phillauri is a very special film for us. It is an entertaining film with a lot of soul that will touch everyone's heart."
Long write-up for today's batch of awesomeness.
First off. This whole covid thing, the election, working from home, not being able to go out, not seeing friends/family, etc. Has me, and I'm sure everyone else frazzled. Having a project to work on, in my case hiking out and shooting photos of graffiti on trains has been the one thing that's keeping me sane at this point. Hoping to see some new pieces from writers that I respect is like opening a pack of baseball cards and finding your favorite players rookie card for me. Yeah, it sounds goofy, but I've been having fun, staying sane, and seeing and capturing some amazing pieces of rolling art.
So I had this weird Monday vacation day on 11-2-2020. I decided to drive out to one my my benching spots and hang out for the day.
The plan was to set up a time lapse camera, and then just hang out and bench freights for 5-6 hours. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and a slight breeze, 88F. high. No clouds makes for a very boring time lapse between trains coming by. I also only brought my little Small Rig clamp for the time lapse camera and couldn't decide where I wanted to clamp it. I should have just brought a tripod.
Out for a few hours before the BNSF guys in their truck rolled up, got out and started walking toward me. "Great!" I thought. They're going to try and chase me away. Nope, they walked over to one set of tracks, walked across the bridge inspecting the tracks, then under the bridge inspecting the bridge, got in their truck and left. I like that. I don't bother you. You don't bother me.
A while later I see tree guy coming back home. I don't know his name, but there's a guy who lives in/under a tree that's next to the trail I hike in on. Once he's in there you'd never know it. I've seen him, he's seen me, and we don't bother each other.
The whole time I'm there I'm using my little Tascam recorder to record train audio every time one comes by so I have audio for the slideshow videos I've been uploading on YouTube. Well, this time I forgot it out there. Didn't dump my photos until Tuesday night and discovered it missing. Woke up early, drove out and it was still there. It recorded for almost 5 more hours before the batteries died. Glad to have it back, I thought tree guy might have found it.

for my fourth shoot for school project, I was completely clueless as to what to do. I didn't think about it until last minute and admittedly these were very rushed. But i edited them A LOT to try to make up for it :) it's all about death, so I went out for a drive with my mumma and niece to get some photos of dead trees, these were the results :)
used pixlr to add borders and such :)
