Ecovolis program has proven successful in dramatically increasing bicycle use in Tirana, which, formerly, was a city without a developed bicycle culture. Ecovolis program is the first project in Albania that provides low-income adults with commuter bicycles as well as a donating program for children bicycles. The program recently completed two major steps, opening new bike stations in the city of Durrës and integrating Tourist Information Point Service to the bicycles stations' structure.
History
The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. Another portion was set aside to donate to children and to activists and volunteers at PASS. Still another portion were diverted to the project's Eco Bicycle Shop, a social enterprise which sells bikes for USD 50-150 and reinvests profits for the service and maintenance of Ecovolis bicycles. The main objective of the program was to introduce the community to an inexpensive, environmental friendly form of transport -- the bicycle; to sell used bikes at low prices; to donate bikes to the children of needy families and to PASS volunteers; to establish a bike sharing-scheme in the city (Ecovolis); and to employ financially disadvantaged people and young students to operate the bike-sharing scheme.
System
Each Ecovolis station is staffed by two employees in two shifts and contains 30 -- 60 bicycles. In order to use the bicycles it is required to provide a personal identification document (such as passport or ID card) or by subscribing to the Ecovolis membership Card.
The first black and red bicycles, (also the colors of the Albanian flag) were donated from US-organization Pedal for Progress, (which collect and donate used bicycles). As these bicycles were of different types, converting them for safe and comfortable public use took months of work. The price per bicycle varies from 60 US$ to 90 US$ each. The bicycle is equipped with a front bicycle basket, a behind carrier, a comfortable saddle and a public fender with the Ecovolis sign.
The bicycle stations also provide touristic information to the visitors and a list of the city attractions. Moreover, being a non-profit social enterprise, during particular days the program offers free bicycle service, cycling courses, donations of bicycles and helmets for children in need, bike tours and a bicycle recycle program.

Independent Verification of Trajectories
Radar sites, part of the Easten Range *lit* Patrick Air Force Base and at Ascencsion Island, as well as the Western Range at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center use radar antennas to ensure a spacecraft is staying on track. This valuable resources, along with Goddard's Flight Dynamics Facility ensure we are point our antennas in the right place, every time.

For the first time ever, all 10 NASA field centers participated in a multi-center NASA Social event Dec. 3, previewing the Dec. 4 first flight of the Orion Spacecraft on Exploration Flight Test-1.
Goddard hosted up to 25 social media followers to attend an afternoon celebrating the Orion launch. Attendees toured the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory, where Martian meteorites and other samples are tested to answer two of the biggest mysteries facing humanity: How did we get here? And are we alone? We'll also tour Goddard's massive Integration and Testing Facility, where spacecraft are built and tested and the world's largest cleanroom where the James Webb Space Telescope is being constructed. Webb is the scientific successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It will be the most powerful space telescope ever built.

Thirteen warfare tactics instructors are underway with USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group leading the Surface Warfare Advanced Tactical Training (SWATT). SWATT is a three-week exercise to tactically prepare cruisers and destroyers for carrier strike group integration. The Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center opened June 9, 2015, at Naval Base San Diego and is responsible for increasing the tactical proficiency of the Navy's surface warfare community through the creation of warfare doctrine, underway advanced-training exercises and warfare tactics instructors.

On Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at the University of Mississippi’s Gertrude C. Ford Center, Mr. James Meredith was recognized by both that educational institution and the U.S. Marshals Service. With the 60th anniversary of the integration of the University approaching on October 1, the institutional ceremony, entitled “The Mission Continues-Building Upon the Legacy,” gave USMS Director Ronald L. Davis the perfect opportunity to award Meredith one of highest honors he could, and made him an Honorary Deputy U.S. Marshal. In the history of the U.S. Marshals Service only a handful of people have ever received this honor.
Of the approximately 350 deputy U.S. marshals and deputized personnel that ensured the registration and safety of Mr. Meredith during this time, few are living today. Retired Deputy U.S. Marshal Herschel Garner, the youngest of the cadre of deputies present during the riots that preceded registration, attended the ceremony representing all of them.
This historical event continues the partnership between the USMS and the University of Mississippi in recognizing the importance of educational equality and the role of our deputies in bringing this about. While it truly was a battle that resulted in Mr. Meredith attending and graduating from the school of his choice, the decade celebrations from 2002 to 2022 remain important moments in their own right.
