In this Wednesday #SHRMTalent session, attendees were able to experience a day in the life of a job candidate recently released from incarceration, and gain a new perspective of this talent pool. The re-entry simulation required them to work through the real challenges that confront 650,000 Americans who are released from incarceration every year as they attempt to return to society and rebuild their lives.

STORY:
Imagine a situation where just going to school puts your life at risk.
Under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, this was the situation for Nilab Aria and many others. In second grade, she had to be homeschooled by her mother. Nilab had been forced to wear a burqa since she was eight years old.
Today, Nilab is a United Nations Volunteer. Her passion for education and professionalism started back then.
Hidden from sight, and from the Taliban, she took short courses in English and Science in a basement, where she studied by a candlelight. As an additional precaution, the students were forced to pretend that that they were taking Islamic studies, the only studies permitted under the Taliban regime.
One day, however, someone informed the Taliban, and the underground classes were closed for a time. The Taliban threated death for anyone who attempted to attend any classes.
My hero, my inspiration:
Recently, another difficult period in Nilab’s life. She lost her father. “Knowing that my father is no longer with us is the worst memory of my life. He was my hero and my inspiration.”
Her father died of a heart attack when he was in their hometown in Nijrab district of Kapisa province, helping his fellow villagers build clean water systems.
Nilab is the eldest sibling in her family. She has one brother and five sisters. After their loss, she is the sole breadwinner in the family.
“Right before he died, he called us and asked each of us one by one what he should bring us from our village.” She inherited her spirit of helping people from her father.
During the 1960s, when most people were highly conservative and had no interest on education, her father was the first man in town to put her aunts and other family members through school.
It was a common tradition in their family that a girl is married as soon as she reaches the final classes of school but her father was different. He wanted her first to achieve her dreams and be able to stand on her own feet.
Unwavering Spirit for volunteerism:
While Nilab was pursuing her undergraduate studies, she also worked with a local NGO that works to end violence against women and sexual harassment. She worked during the day and attended university in the evening.
She has been volunteering since her school days. She did not think so much of the money she would earn, because her goal was to learn as much as she could and help to bring positive change and peace in Afghanistan.
In Sept 2017, she was successfully selected as an intern for UNDP. Her internship was later extended and she applied for a UNV post as Finance Associate with the elections project, UNESP.
UN Volunteers are highly motivated, qualified individuals, committed to the principles and ideals of the United Nations. They complement and strengthen the work of UN entities, public institutions and civil society organizations.
“As a UN Volunteer, you are not only contributing to peace and development, but also helping, caring, meeting new people, and there is an exchange of cultural values” says Nilab.
Today, International Volunteers Day 2018 focuses on the values of volunteerism through the appreciation of local volunteers, including marginalized groups and women, who make up nearly 60 per cent of volunteers worldwide, and their impact on building Resilient Communities.
“I am happy when I do something voluntarily. I want to help every single person if possible,” says Nilab.
“Doing something voluntarily keeps you down to earth and doesn’t give you an ego.” She adds.

FULL PRESS RELEASE:
Annual three day motorcycle event raises much needed funds for DSI
Tralee, Sunday 30th April 2017: Over a hundred and forty motorcyclists hit the open road this bank holiday weekend for the ‘RevUp4DSI’ fundraising event in aid of Down Syndrome Ireland. Motorcyclists from all over Ireland donned their leathers to explore the mysteries of Ireland’s countryside, all while fundraising for the charity which supports thousands of people with Down syndrome and their families across Ireland. This hugely exciting motorcycle event offered some of the best scenic views in Ireland and those taking part got the chance to really appreciate them.
The three-day mystery tour, which kicked off in Joe Duffy BMW in Finglas, Dublin on Saturday morning, 29th April, incorporated three stages taking in over 1,000 km of stunning Irish landscape. The route was unveiled to the motorcyclists for the first time on Saturday morning as they headed off to Tralee via Inistioge and Lismore Castle. Today’s (Sunday) route, the participants head off on a tour of Kerry taking in the beautiful surroundings of Kenmare and Kinsale with a brief stop at Killarney along the way. Playing cards will be distributed at checkpoints during today’s run with super raffle prizes for the winning hands. Monday’s route will see the motorcyclists head back to Dublin, via the idyllic surroundings of the Rock of Cashel and Rathangan.
Rob Bright motorcyclist and RevUp4DSI Project Manager commented “This is such a wonderful event and the motorcycle community can be really proud of the contribution they have made to Down Syndrome Ireland and the services it provides for people with Down Syndrome and their families. The three days are an amazing experience and you get to appreciate the beauty of the Irish countryside. Every RevUp4DSI event that I have participated is a unique experience that we motorcyclists get the chance to discover. This event has raised almost €2 million for Down Syndrome Ireland over the past 12 years, which we’re really proud of. Over the three days we also remember our dear friend and RevUp4DSI cofounder Aidan Lynam, who sadly passed away two years ago at the event.”
Speaking about ‘RevUp4DSI’, Mary Doherty, President, Down Syndrome Ireland, said, “We are delighted that so many motorcyclists participated in this wonderful event again year to help raise much needed funds for people with Down syndrome in Ireland. The money raised is integral in helping children and adults with Down syndrome as well as their families, we cannot thank these generous people enough.”
Down Syndrome Ireland supports thousands of people with Down syndrome and their families across the country. The charity depends almost entirely on the public’s support to operate its services and fundraising events such as RevU4DSI are a vital source of income for the organisation.

Notes to Editor:
About REVUP4DSI
RevUp4DSI is an annual charity motorcycle challenge in aid of Down Syndrome Ireland.
It all started in 2005 when two kindred spirits - Michael McCormick and the late Aidan Lynam - met. Both were keen motorcyclists and had daughters born with Down syndrome, Megan and Robyn respectively. Michael (CEO of DSI at the time) was looking to run a motorcycle event for DSI and Aidan (managing a bar at the time) was thinking along similar lines. So after a fairly brief but enthusiastic meeting, RevUp4DSI was born.
About Down Syndrome Ireland

Or, to me as a child, the "Doggy Boat".
Hugin, a replica Viking ship sailed and rowed from Esbjerg in Denmark to Broadstairs in Kent, England, to mark the 1,500th anniversary of the arrival of the Vikings at Ebbsfleet in 449. The Vikings are said to have included Hengest (or Hengist) and Horsa.
The ship made good speed crossing the North Sea and arrived two days early. The crew of fifty - only one, the navigator, a professional seaman - celebrated by swimming in the sea.
The ship was beached at Broadstairs and was then sailed up the Thames to Greenwich for a reception. A further trip up the Thames took them to more celebrations in Richmond-upon-Thames.
The events of that summer brought some brightness back into post-war Britain and were a hint of things to come in the Festival of Britain in 1951.
When it came to the ultimate fate of Hugin, things became a little complicated. The ship was owned by the Danish Travel Association which put it up for sale. The local authorities in both Broadstairs and Ramsgate put in offers and asked specifically that it should not be sold to the other town. In the event, the Association entered into negotiations with the "Daily Mail" newspaper because, as they said, "we did not want to let either town down."
After over fifty years exposure to wind and weather on the cliff top at Cliffsend, Hugin was not looking well. The sail and mast were no longer visible, the paint on the shields was fading and the hull itself showing signs of age. Hugin was taken to Gloucester for a complete overhaul and returned to Cliffsend in 2005. My only quibble with the restoration is that the shields along the sides are now all the same colour.
The Shelbyville 1863 Civil War Sesquicentennial was held in H. V. Griffin Park in Shelbyville, Tennessee, on June 22nd and 23rd, 2013. This was a two day event of entertainment of Contra Dancing, music, cannon firing, military encampments, Infantry, Calvary, and Artillery, civilian refuge camps, period artisans, authentic and documented Civil War guns, relics and uniforms. The historic event was hosted by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Sumner A. Cunningham Camp # 1620 of Shelbyville.

İçerik:
Her şeyi aşmış ve artık öğrenecek hiç bir şeyi kalmadığına inanan Doktor Faust, yeryüzündeki sınırlı yaşamın acısından kurtulmak için ruhunu Mephisto'ya yani şeytana satar. Mephisto, bunun karşılığında Faust'u bilgi hastalığından kurtaracaktır. Oyunda bir cadının hazırladığı iksirle Faust'un gençleşmesi sağlanır. Artık genç ve yakışıklı bir adam olan Faust, Gretchen adında güzel bir kızla karşılaşıp ona aşık olur. Bu güzel kızın Faust'un tutkusundan kurtulmasının yolu yoktur artık.
Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı
'İstanbul sahnelerinde Faust. Ünlü Goethe’nin ünlü “Faust”’unu 80 dakikaya uyarlayarak çeviren ve tek kişi olarak sahneleyen Haydar Zorlu’yu 26 Haziran akşamı Muammer Karaca Tiyatrosu’nda seyrettim. Goethe’nin şiirindeki müzikaliteyi vermek için giriş tiradını Almanca olarak verdi. Metni anlamanın lüzumu yoktur, sadece yazarın orijinal dilindeki ve şiirindeki usta müzikaliteye dikkat etmek gerekir. Haydar Zorlu, Almanya’da büyüyen gençlerden ve bu dili iyi biliyor. Türkçe de sergilemesi ise plastik yönden bir ustalıktı. Salonun dolu olması, klasik tiyatroya ve Goethe’ye duyulan bu ilgi bence çok sevindirici. Doğu Anadolu’dan çıkan bir gencin Almanya’da gördüğü dilbilim ve tiyatro eğitimi ile başarılı bir tiyatro sergilemesi de tebrike şayan'
Faust Oyunun Analizi, Aslıhan Göktuğ
'Faust Goethe'nin yarattığı şahane bir karakterdi evet ama onun tiyatroya uyarlanması da ancak bu kadar güzel olabilirdi... Öncelikle Haydar Zorlu'nun bu tempoyu kendini oyuna adamasından, solo performans sergilemesine rağmensahnenin her köşesini ve karesini kullanmasından dolayı yakaladığını düşünüyorum. Bunun yanı sıra karakterlerin belli sahnelerde toplu bir şekilde bulunmasına rağmen oyuncu rolleri seyirciye gerekli ölçüde yansıttı ve o yükü hissettirmedi...
Gerçekten acı çektiğini düşündüğüm Faust, istediğini yapmakta özgürdü. Gücü yetsin yetmesin zamanla tüm isteklerini Mephisto'nun yardımıyla yapmaya başlamış, adeta sınırsız bir özgürlük değneği elde etmişti... Mephisto Faust'u kandırırken bizde kandık onunla birlikte ve de ısrarla kanmak istedik. Çünkü Faust'u kendimize çok yakın hissettik ve aslında onu içimizde bir yerde bulduk...
Oyuncu, Mephisto'nun içinde var olan sonsuz öfkesini sesine, hareketlerine ve sahnedeki duruşuna bizden sakınmadan aktardı. Fakat öyle bir öfke aktarımıydı ki bu, seyirci gizliden gizliye Faust gibi Mephisto'ya kanmaya başladı. Mephisto'yu canlandırırken oyuncunun ellerini önünde çaprazlaması, üstüne düşen kırmızı ışık ve aksan değişikliği karakterin sırasını hiç karıştırmadan takip etmemizi sağladı. Aynı zamanda Zorlu'nun seyirciyi Mephisto'nun dünyasına alması, Mephisto'nun Faust'un odasına geldiğinde etrafa saldığı kükürt kokusunu ve etrafı toz duman etmesini hissettirdiği sahneleri takdire şayandı...
Anlaşılan Haydar Zorlu, Goethe ile ortak olmuş Mephisto'nun dünyası ile yaşadığımız dünya arasında ki zaman farkını oyunun içinde saklı tutmuştu. Bu durum oyunun sonunda bile bir fikri daha keşfetmemize neden oldu ve tempoyu artırdı. Bu analizi yapmaya çalışırken aynı zamanda şu cümle aklımda kendisini tekrarlayıp duruyor ve beni gülümsetiyor: "Tüm bu hisleri solo bir performans yaşattı bana!'

Goethes Faust als Ein-Mann-Performance
Ein roter Stuhl vor schwarzem Vorhang: Das reicht Haydar Zorlu als Kulisse, vor der er in alle Rollen schlüpft, die der „Faust“ bietet. Mal spielt er den düsteren Dr. Heinrich Faust, mal den teuflischen Mephisto und dann das zarte Gretchen, ihren braven Bruder oder die Hexe. Jedes Mal so authentisch, dass die Zuschauer am Mittwochabend im Halepaghentheater gebannt an seinen Lippen hängen.
Abwechselnd laut und dann wieder leise rezitiert er seinen Monolog nach dem Schauspiel von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Das Drama bringt er, wie im Vorspiel angekündigt, entstaubt und lebendig auf die Bühne. Haydar Zorlu, 1967 in der Türkei geboren und später in Köln aufgewachsen, zeigt wirklich und wahrhaftig einen „fesselnden Rollentanz“. Mit ausdrucksstarker Mimik und Gestik interpretiert er den „Faust“ völlig neu. Die akrobatische Rolle vorwärts oder rückwärts gehört dazu, wie der plötzliche Sprung von der Bühne.

Today we got our new living room floor outlets roughed in, plus they moved 3 wall outlets off an overloaded circuit and onto the new circuit, and moved the wires for all the room wall outlets up to the new locations (I'll install the actual wall outlets). Next is the concrete, and I talked to 3 contractors about that today.

From U.S. Ambassador Huebner's Blog:
I always enjoy visiting Samoa, but I particularly look forward to coming in June for Independence Day. This year was the 49th anniversary of the founding of the nation of Western Samoa, which later changed its name to the Independent State of Samoa.
Of course, Samoan history stretches back much farther than 49 years. Archaeologists tell us that humans first appeared in Samoa around 1500 BC, and Samoan oral history seems to extend back to at least 1000 AD. Since then there have been a variety of battles, influences, and governments … leading up to the seizure by New Zealand in 1914 of the Samoan islands held by Germany.
New Zealand occupied Western Samoa throughout World War I, and continued to administer the territory under a League of Nations mandate and then a United Nations trusteeship. An independence movement developed on Savai’i during the German period, spread to the other islands, and continued during the Kiwi administration.

The Quarai were a Tiguex (Southern Tiwa) Pueblo band of American Indians that originated in present-day New Mexico. Because of Apache hostilities they fled to El Paso in around 1675; later they moved to Isleta del Sur on the Rio Grande.
Quarai, also known as Quarai State Monument, is also the name of a historic site that was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. It was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1962. It includes 13 structures including a pueblo and a mission which is known as Nuestra Señora de La Purisima Concepcion de Cuarac. It stands 40 ft tall and once had walls that were approximately 3 to 6 ft wide. It is included in Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.

Anaglyph 3D is the name given to the stereoscopic 3D effect achieved by means of encoding each eye's image using filters of different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, typically red and cyan. Anaglyph 3D images contain two differently filtered colored images, one for each eye. When viewed through the "color-coded" "anaglyph glasses", each
of the two images reaches one eye, revealing an integrated stereoscopic image.

National Museum of the US Air Force
Developed in the mid-1950s, the V-750 Dvina was the first effective Soviet surface-to-air missile. The Soviets used it to shoot down Gary Powers' U-2 over the USSR in 1960 and Maj. Rudolph Anderson's U-2 over Cuba in 1962. The missile was better known by the NATO designation SA-2 Guideline. The Soviets began exporting it to many countries worldwide in 1960, with many remaining in use into the 21st century.
North Vietnam began receiving SA-2s shortly after the start of Operation Rolling Thunder in the spring of 1965. With Soviet help, they built several well-camouflaged sites, regularly moving SA-2s and their equipment among them. The North Vietnamese also ringed SA-2 sites with anti-aircraft artillery (AAA), making them even more dangerous to attack.
SA-2 Site
The SA-2 did not operate alone, but as part of a complete system. A typical SA-2 site in North Vietnam had six missiles on launchers, control and support vans, a Spoon Rest acquisition radar, and a Fan Song guidance radar.
The Spoon Rest radar detected incoming aircraft at long range (as far as 70 miles), providing location data to the system computer.
The Fan Song guidance radar performed two functions: target acquisition and missile guidance. It acquired as many as four targets before firing. After launch, it guided up to three SA-2s against one target. (The North Vietnamese sometimes placed the radars away from the missiles to make the site harder to destroy.)
The SA-2 missile had a solid fuel booster rocket that launched and accelerated it, then dropped off after about six seconds. While in boost stage, the missile did not guide. During the second stage, the SA-2 guided, and a liquid-fuel rocket propelled it to the target.
How Radar Works
Radar (Radio Detection And Ranging) can be likened to shouting in a valley and hearing an echo in return. A radar emitter sends out radio waves, which hit an object and reflect back to a radar receiver. Much information can be gained by calculating the time and angle of the reflected radio waves.
Basic radar can simply indicate the presence of an object from several miles away, while more advanced radars can provide the speed, altitude and heading of an aircraft. Radar information can be used in many ways, including providing early warning of an attack, directing defensive fighters, aiming anti-aircraft artillery fire and guiding missiles (including SAMs).
SA-2 Guideline (V-750VK Dvina) Surface-to-Air Missile and Launcher
The reusable SA-2 launcher rotated 360 degrees and typically raised the missile between 30 and 60 degrees for launch. Removable wheels (not displayed) allowed the launcher to be moved quickly. In fact, North Vietnamese SAM crews could pack up and move a site in about four hours.
One vital capability of the Wild Weasels was being able to identify and immediately strike an active site. Before the Wild Weasels, the enemy often moved out of a site by the time a strike force was put together to hit it.
