Once an active student-run organization on campus, over the past few years the club had become idle. So, with the encouragement of Bara Watts, director of entrepreneurship, the students reinvigorated the club in February 2018.
The club’s mission is to “create platforms and events in order to generate business and financial access for everyone in the Oberlin College community,” and it has been successful in doing just that.

Led by Chicagoland indigenous organizations, people assembled at Federal Plaza to hear speeches and create a community snake dance against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). They were joined by a marchers from an anti-Trump protest. The DAPL is often called the "Black Snake”.
The pipeline will run across approximately 1,172 miles of land from North Dakota to Illinois. The DAPL will transfer crude oil, through the Oglala Aquifer, as well as, under the Big Sioux, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The pipeline will run through the traditional lands of the Standing Rock Sioux endangering water and sacred sites.
Energy Transfer Partners has 100% completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline in Illinois, and South Dakota. Resistance in North Dakota and Iowa are our last lines of defense against DAPL.

I love my filing system. I have a folder for each month. All receipts and paperwork (except tax-related documents and other stuff that needs to be kept long-term) go in the folder for that month. After a year, when that month comes around again, last year's receipts and paperwork get tossed.
The problem with most filing systems is that they don't include a plan for purging. This system practically maintains itself!

Some Background:
The Lockheed F-94 Starfire was a first-generation jet aircraft of the United States Air Force. It was developed from the twin-seat Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star in the late 1940s as an all-weather, day/night interceptor, replacing the propeller-driven North American F-82 Twin Mustang in this role. The system was designed to overtake the F-80 in terms of performance, but more so to intercept the new high-level Soviet bombers capable of nuclear attacks on America and her Allies - in particular, the new Tupelov Tu-4. The F-94 was furthermore the first operational USAF fighter equipped with an afterburner and was the first jet-powered all-weather fighter to enter combat during the Korean War in January 1953.
The initial production model was the F-94A, which entered operational service in May 1950. Its armament consisted of four 0.50 in (12.7 mm) M3 Browning machine guns mounted in the fuselage with the muzzles exiting under the radome for the APG-33 rader, a derivative from the AN/APG-3, which directed the Convair B-36's tail guns and had a range of up to 20 miles (32 km). Two 165 US Gallon (1,204 litre) drop tanks, as carried by the F-80 and T-33, were carried on the wingtips. Alternatively, these could be replaced by a pair of 1,000 lb (454 kg) bombs under the wings, giving the aircraft a secondary fighter bomber capability. 109 were produced.
The subsequent F-94B, which entered service in January 1951, was outwardly virtually identical to the F-94A. The Allison J33 turbojet had a number of modifications made, though, which made it a very reliable engine. The pilot was provided with a more roomy cockpit and the canopy was replaced by a canopy with a bow frame in the center between the two crew members, as well as a new Instrument Landing System (ILS). However, this new variant’s punch with just four machine guns remained weak, and, in order to improve the load of fire, wing-mounted pods with two additional pairs with machine guns were introduced – but these hardly improved the interceptor’s effectiveness. 356 of the F-94B were built.
The following F-94C was extensively modified and initially designated F-97, but it was ultimately decided just to treat it as a new version of the F-94. USAF interest was lukewarm, since aircraft technology developed at a fast pace in the Fifties. Lockheed funded development themselves, converting two F-94B airframes to YF-94C prototypes for evaluation with a completely new, much thinner wing, a swept tail surface and a more powerful Pratt & Whitney J48, a license-built version of the afterburning Rolls-Royce Tay, which produced a dry thrust of 6,350 pounds-force (28.2 kN) and approximately 8,750 pounds-force (38.9 kN) with afterburning. Instead of machine guns, the new variant was exclusively armed with more effective unguided air-to-air missiles.
Eventually, the type was adopted for USAF service, since it was the best interim solution for an all-weather fighter at that time, but it still had to rely on Ground Control Interception Radar (GCI) sites to vector the interceptor to intruding aircraft.
Anyway, The F-94C's introduction and the availability of more effective Northrop F-89C/D Scorpion and the North American F-86D Sabre interceptors led to a quick relegation of the earlier F-94 variants from mid-1954 onwards to second line units and Air National Guards. By 1955 most of them had been phased out of USAF service. However, some of these relatively young surplus machines were subsequently exported to friendly nations, esp. to NATO countries in dire need for all-weather interceptors at the organization’s outer frontiers where Soviet bomber attacks had to be expected.
One of these foreign operators was Greece. In 1952, Greece was admitted to NATO and the country’s Air Force was, with US assistance, rebuilt and organized according to NATO standards. New aircraft were introduced, namely jet fighters which meant a thorough modernization. The first types flown by the Hellenic Air Force were the Republic F-84G Thunderjet (about 100 examples) and the Lockheed F-94B Starfire (about thirty aircraft).
The Hellenic F-94Bs represented the USAF’s standard, but for their second life they were modified to carry, as an alternative to the type’s standard machine gun pods under the wings, a pair of pods with unguided air-to-air missiles, similar to the F-94C. Their designation remained unchanged, though.
This first generation of jets in Hellenic service became operational in 1955 and played an important role within NATO's defense strategy in the south-eastern Europe in the following years. They also took part in Operation Deep Water, a 1957 NATO naval exercise held in the Mediterranean Sea that simulated protecting the Dardanelles from a Soviet invasion and featured a simulated nuclear air strike in the Gallipoli area, reflecting NATO's nuclear umbrella policy to offset the Soviet Union's numerical superiority of ground forces in Europe.
In the late 1960s, the F-84 fighters were replaced by the Canadair Sabre 2 from British and Canadian surplus stocks and the Hellenic Air Force acquired new jet aircraft. These included the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter, the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter and the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger. The latter entered service in service 1969 and gradually replaced the F-94Bs in the all-weather interceptor role until 1971.
In the mid-1970s the Hellenic Air Force was further modernized with deliveries of the Dassault Mirage F1CG fleet, Vought A-7Hs (including a number of TA-7Hs) and the first batch of McDonnell-Douglas F-4E Phantom IIs, upgraded versions of which still serve today.
After their replacement through the F-102 the Hellenic F-94Bs were still used as advanced trainers, primarily for aspiring WSOs but also for weapon training against ground targets. But by the mid Seventies, all Hellenic F-94Bs had been phased out.

The kit and its assembly:
This is a rather simple entry for the 2018 "Cold War" GB at whatifmodelers.com, in the form of a more or less OOB-built Heller F-94B in a fictional guise. The original inspiration was the idea of a camouflaged F-94, since all USAF machines had been left in bare metal finish with more or less colorful additions and markings.
That said, the kit was built almost completely OOB and did – except for some sinkholes and standard PSR work – not pose any problem. In fact, the old Heller Starfire model is IMHO a pretty good representation of the aircraft. O.K., its age might show, but almost anything you could ask for at 1:72 scale is there, including a decent, detailed cockpit. I just added a wire pitot under the nose and opened the gun ports, plus some machine gun barrels inside made from hollow steel needles. The main wheels had to be replaced due to sinkholes, and they appeared to be rather narrow for this massive aircraft, too. I found decent replacements from a Tamiya 1:100 F-105D.
Painting and markings:
Even though the F-94 never wore camouflage in real life, I chose to add some (more) color to this Hellenic Starfire. In fact, the RHAF adopted several schemes for its early jet types, including grey undersides to otherwise NMF machines grey/green NATO colors, all-around ADC Grey, the so-called Aegean Grey or the USAF's South East Asia scheme. I chose the latter, since I expected an unusual look, and the colors would be a good match for the Hellenic landscape, too.
The basic colors (FS 30219, 34227, 34279 and 36622) all come from Humbrol (118, 117, 116 and 28, respectively), and for the pattern I adapted the USAF’s recommendation for the C-123 Provider transport aircraft. Beyond a black ink wash and some post-shading for weathering effects the whole surface of the kit received a wet-sanding treatment for additional wear-and-tear effects, exploiting the fact that the kit is molded in silver plastic which, in the end, shines through here and there. The result is a shaggy look, but it’s not rotten and neglected.
The machine gun pods received black front ends (against glare), which was also added to the tip tanks’ front end inside surfaces. The radome and the fin tip were painted with a mix of Humbrol 168 (RAF Hemp) and 28, and the gun ports as well as the afterburner section were painted with Steel Metallizer.
Using a 340th Mira’s early F-84G for further inspiration, I decided to add some bright squadron markings to the aircraft in the form of yellow-black-checkered tip tanks. These were created with black decal squares (cut from TL Modellbau generic material) over a painted, yellow base (Humbrol 69). I considered even more markings, e.g. a checkered fin rudder or an ornamental decoration, but eventually rejected this idea in favor of the aircraft’s camouflage theme.
Other decals come primarily from a HiScale F-84G sheet. Some elements were taken from the Heller OOB sheet and some additional stencils were gathered from various sources, including an Xtradecal T-33 and a PrintScale F-102 sheet.
After some soot stains around the exhaust were added with graphite, the kit was sealed under a coat of matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).
An interesting result, since a camouflaged F-94 is literally unusual. I am positively surprised how good the aircraft looks in the USAF SEA livery.

This map shows some of the organizations serving rural Manitoba. The agricultural societies were formed to help improve agriculture, but were only found in the main centres. The local agricultural fair was often associated with them. The co-op societies were just getting underway in Manitoba at this time, but they were already surprisingly scattered. The locals of the United Farmers of Manitoba were even more widespread, but this, of course, was a period when farmers in Canada were very active in politics. The Women’s Institutes were found in the longer settled parts of the Province. In fact, many of the organizations were concentrated in certain favourable areas, and almost absent where they could have been instrumental in helping struggling settlers. This map does not show the churches, halls, and schools, where so much of the early community life was carried on. Many of the country halls and churches have succumbed to the technical revolution and ensuing rural depopulation, and are now gone.

The Cavalry Regiment No. 3 (RC3) • The MH MH L, known as dragons Olivença, is a unit of Army Base Structure of the Portuguese Army stationed in Estremoz. Currently the unit is operating as a charge to the organization, training and maintenance of the Reconnaissance Squadron of the Rapid Reaction Brigade.
History
1707 - Founding of the unit, Olivença, under the name Light Cavalry Regiment of Olivença, including 12 companies of 40 horses each; 1742 - The Regiment of Light Cavalry Regiment is transformed into dragons Olivença, 1762 - The Dragons of Olivenza participate in the great war against the invading French and Spanish, 1764 - For the new organization of the cavalry there is no longer a distinction between light cavalry and Dragons, there is only passing the homogeneous regiments of cavalry. As a result, the regiment Olivença changes its name to Olivença Cavalry Regiment, while maintaining the unofficial title of Dragons Olivença. 1801 - The Spanish army invades and occupies Olivença Alentejo. The regiment is leaving that city and moved to Moura, later to Beja and then to Torres Novas. The city of Olivença remains under Spanish occupation until today, despite the Congress of Vienna in 1815 has recognized Portuguese sovereignty. 1805 - The Cavalry of Olivença stationed in Torres Novas, has been renamed to Cavalry Regiment No. 3, 1806-1812 - The regiment fighting in the Peninsular War, participating in several battles and skirmishes, mostly in Spain;
1816-1875 - The regiment aquartela successively in Elvas, Castelo Branco, Torres Vedras and Vila Viçosa, even sedear Estremoz, where he still remains; 1914-1918 - During World War I, the regiment sends forces to Angola, Mozambique and France where the Germans fight, 1939 - The regiment is no longer a unit hipomóvel and becomes an armored unit, 1959-1960 - The armored regiment sent to India and Portuguese Guinea in order to enhance security those territories, 1961-1975 - During the War of Ultramar regiment mobilized about 42,000 men, organized in two squads of recognition, 42 battalions and 17 independent companies of cavalry, fighting in Angola, Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea, 1975 - unit will be renamed Cavalry Regiment Estremoz, 1993 - The name of the regiment back to RC3 and gets the task of organizing and maintaining the recognition subunit of the Independent Airborne Brigade 1999 - The regiment stands for armored forces in Kosovo integrated Grouping Bravo Portuguese Army.

The date is July 25, 2010. The place is Milan, Piazza Duomo. For the first time an international class triathlon will be entirely held in the historic center.
The dream became a reality thanks to the determination and organizational skills I AM Sports Events. Thanks also to the municipality of Milan, which has identified further opportunities in the triathlon to attract visitors and spread a international sports city.
The idea of three guys who drive I AM Sports Events, big fans of triathlon, was created by the ambition to see their hometown stage a World Cup test (WCS) Triathlon Olympic specialties launched in 2008 with the Beijing Olympic Games and with its 1.5 km swim, 40km bike and 10km run is gaining thousands of fans and the growing curiosity of the media.
Why Milan? The city offers all the facilities needed to support the three sports, to manage the flow of participating athletes and all the logistics that a race of this level requires. The Milan Course, studied with the police to ensure spectacular evidence causing minimum inconvenience to the citizenry, is developed entirely on city soil and sees the start from the Darsena and the swimming section along the Naviglio Grande, the bike spit starting from Via D'Annunzio Cairoli with a circuit around the Parco Sempione and finally the run split from Piazza Cairoli Dome with another ring around the historic city center.
This project could be a great opportunity to try to get among the best events on this distance in the world (along with Sydney, Seoul, Madrid, Hamburg, London, Kitzbuhel, Budapest), but especially for bringing the many triathletes and Milan Italians to a wonderful and growing sport, exploiting the opportunity to bring in Milan the best of the sport worldwide.
