A little further down the road I came to the railroad crossing at Alpine. This interesting structure appears to be a cistern of sorts. It could have been built by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad which is the progenitor of the CSXT that currently is the name of the corporation. This location is at a creek where it empties into the James River, and the structure was apparently a water storage facility. More on that in another photo.

 

I didn't bother to change the camera from Bright Sunshine to Shade as I felt there was enough light to overcome the color cast that comes with the shadows. It's close, but nothing to really complain about.

 

No Corrections.

Suffragettes at Long Beach, N.Y., 1912.

Middle class woman at the time were engrossed in the suffrage movement. Imagine if they all had risen up in unison to help the children working the factories, the six-year old farm hands, and the indentured orphans. Perhaps, in light of this, the sentiments of women and men are not that much different after all.

Please join us for a conference to examine U.S. policy options to advance family planning and women's health in Senegal. This event will focus on Senegal’s innovative approaches and strategic partnerships to expand access to family planning, and the complexities of overcoming barriers to further progress. As a key player in an increasingly volatile region, Senegal’s efforts to achieve results in family planning provide lessons for other countries, especially in francophone West Africa. Expert panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges in scaling up and sustaining family planning programs in Senegal and implications for the subregion.

To overcome decreasing productivity due to salinity and marginal farm sizes, Provash uses tall dikes above his aquaculture pond to grow snake gourd. Having learned about this low risk technique through FFP’s Nobo Jatra project, Provash is able to maximize vertical spaces by cultivating vegetables and fish simultaneously, which he is able to sell through collection points, linking him to broader value chains. Using this technique provides Provash a valuable boost in income and subsistence.

Procrastination is the act of prioritizing less urgent and more pleasurable tasks over the more important stuff. You procrastinate because you fear doing something, because of unreasonable expectations, or because you haven't generated enough reasons to get the job done.

 

Within this Info Doodle you will find six key ideas for beating procrastination.

 

For a more in-depth breakdown of how to overcome procrastination please see: blog.IQmatrix.com/overcome-procrastination

The drive back to Michigan was a long 3,000 miles. Mike came as far as Minnesota, sharing with me the sight of our great western lands passing by. The highlight of the trip was the night we camped at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota. A ferocious storm rolled in over the hills and snapped a critical tent pole. We took shelter in another party’s tent and ultimately spent the night outdoors, exposed to the wind and rain. We awoke in the calm morning air surrounded on all sides by a pack of wild buffalo.

(El Paso, Texas, Dec. 2, 2017)

 

The second annual Community Outreach Day drew more than 100 participants from local organizations onto Fort Bliss Dec. 2. Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Child Crisis Center and the Police Explorers of El Paso attended the free event hosted by Soldiers from the Mobilization and Deployment Division and the 1st Armored Division Iron Training Detachment.

 

Volunteers from the ITD led children as young as 3 years old down the rappel tower and through the obstacle course.

 

“The opportunity to introduce children and adults from the greater El Paso community to some of the training conducted by Fort Bliss Soldiers is very important,” explained Capt. Clayton Melton, commander of ITD. First. Lt. Jerald Bodden, 644th Regional Support Group, and First Lt. Iesha Taylor, 7218th Medical Support Unit, from MaD, were also instrumental in organizing and hosting the day.

 

The event began with Col. Dominic Wibe, commander of the 644th RSG and Mobilization Division, welcoming the group. “If you do what they teach you to do, you will be able to overcome this,” he said. “You will be able to say you have done something great that a lot of people are too scared to do or can’t do.”

 

The Air Assault Cadre from ITD provided a block of instruction and explained safety measures prior to participants rappelling down the 50-foot tower. The group lined up for the cadre to begin rigging the Swiss seats, one-by-one, before moving to the tower.

 

Anthony Gomez, 9, of Big Brothers Big Sisters, explained the climb to the top of the tower was scary and “felt like climbing Mount Everest.” After rappelling, Gomez was proud of himself, saying, “I accomplished that I went down the tower.”

 

Bodden said it’s fun to mentor and inspire kids.

 

“I believe it’s important to impart a sense of pride and accomplishment, as well as the knowledge that they can accomplish any goal and overcome any hardship, hurdle or setback if they believe and work toward a goal,” Bodden said.

 

Orlando Hernandez, co-adviser for the Westside Police Explorers of El Paso, explained events like this build camaraderie within their program, teamwork and confidence.

 

“This experience has helped my determination,” said Yesenia Ochoa, 16, from Police Explorers of El Paso. “I know I can face anything big.”

 

Plans for another event this spring are moving forward. Bodden says he hopes the event will gain participation among the installation, local agencies and businesses.

 

“I believe the leadership (at Fort Bliss) has a lot to offer the younger generations,” Bodden said, “and the kids love to speak to them as well as rappel from the tower and negotiate the obstacles.”

 

Daniel Arriaga, a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, plans to participate again.

 

“This is a great event for giving the kids a boost of confidence and morale,” Arriaga said. “Thank you to the military for hosting this. We appreciate your support and everything you do for us.”

 

The Mobilization and Deployment Division, or MaD, is not an actual military unit. It is an Army mission currently being led by the 644th Regional Support Group, an Army Reserve unit out of Fort Snelling, Minnesota. MaD is a section of DPTMS that conducts mobilization and deployment operations at Fort Bliss.
