FORT IRWIN, Calif. – A Soldier prepares and prioritizes "'patients" for evacuation to the next level of care during day two of Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) testing at the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin. Qualification for the badge is considered a grueling experience by those who have earned the badge and the majority of participants do not make it to the final round.
The EFMB is awarded to military personnel who complete a variety of physical, mental and written tests that determine their ability to quickly, accurately and effectively perform complex life-saving medical tasks while in a variety of hostile environments and situations. The EFMB is considered the medical equivalent of the Expert Infantryman's Badge, but is said to be harder to earn than the EIB.
The Weed Army Community Hospital hosts and facilitates as well as oversees the qualification of events for Soldiers seeking to earn the badge at training areas within the NTC.
The 122 Soldiers vying for the coveted badge come from posts near and far across the United States.

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister:
It took me nearly six years to get these after I got my Courtney doll, who I got for myself for Christmas in 2020. Unlike Rebecca, who I got for Christmas 2019, Courtney's accessory set didn't feature a major clothing item, like a hat or a shawl (Rebecca's had both! Hers was a must) or even a bag. Therefore, I didn't prioritize it. I figured I would like it someday, especially if it went on sale, but there were other items from Courtney's collection--such as her Molly doll and her guinea pig--that I liked better and other sets, like her caboodle, that I'd enjoy just as much. (I would still like the caboodle!) However, I always thought this was cool. Even in the early 90s, people still had Walkmans. They were pretty popular. I know my mom had a Walkman. I may have too when I was little, but I definitely had a cassette player of my own. We used to listen to a lot of cassettes. My mom's car had a cassette player. Music on tape was still a big phenomenon in the early 90s. By the time I was in my early teens, my mom was still buying cassettes at flea markets, but most people considered them obsolete. Of course, she had radios that played them, plus the player in the car, so she could use them. Honestly, I still use one of our old radios sometimes to listen to audiobooks on tape! Courtney's cassette is a homemade mix tape and she labeled the little case! I feel so nostalgic for the little case--to put the little tape in, you have to put it in the slot on the lid, then push the holes over the pegs, just like how a real cassette goes in its case! I love how the player itself is a great coral pink! The headphones are so bright and colorful. The other accessories are technically things Courtney can wear, but not a significant item like a shawl, hat, or special necklace. Her lanyard with lip balm is cool though! I like how it's a cord, not plastic, unlike the one Shelly has for Jess (which is sunblock, not lip balm). Jess's lanyard sits stiff and is hard to store because it is all plastic. Courtney's fits nicely in a jewelry bag when I'm not using it and sits nicely on her. The bracelets are kind of clunky and awkward, but they are a solid plastic and will last--plus, they are a reflection of the 80s! Lastly, there is her pin--"Maureen for Mayor." This minuet accessory is the most significant in her story. Courtney's mother ran for mayor and Courtney was SO proud and excited about it. It's also a reflection of how far women had come in the 80s--that women could run for office! So cool! The pin itself has a clip to attach to her shirt, instead of an actual, metal pin that would pierce fabric. I was worried that it wouldn't stay on well and that, while the lack of actually piercing the fabric would make it more likely to fall off, however, it clips in really well! And it doesn't leave holes in her clothes!

The Government of Azerbaijan and United Nations launched the formulation of the joint strategic partnership framework for the next five years.
The Ministry of Economy and Industry hosted the launch of the joint consultation process, which brought together senior government officials, development partners, representatives from the private sector and civil society to identify the broad priority areas for the cooperation between the UN system and the Government. The prospective collaboration framework will be aligned with the national priorities that are articulated in ‘Azerbaijan: Vision 2020’ development concept, which builds on the country’s latest socio-economic achievements and provides a framework for its transition from a traditional economy to a knowledge-based, competitive and diversified economy.
The new strategy will support the agreed international goals and Post-2015 Development Agenda, a new framework for sustainable development, reaffirming the mutual commitment of the Government of Azerbaijan and United Nations to further deepen partnership and continue working in a concerted and effective manner. It will constitute a robust mechanism to foster coherence, relevance, effectiveness and efficiency within the UN system, and will give a significant attention to achieving results, with a focus on strengthening national Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) capacity and deepening the integration of M&E into national development planning process.
On behalf of the Government of Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Economy and Industry will further co-lead the process of the preparation of the next partnership strategy until the end of August together with the United Nations and in consultation with all government and international partners. The strategic directions and expected results of the next partnership framework will be validated tentatively by end-September and endorsed by the Government by December 2014.

Senator Beth Bye testifies before the Planning & Development Committee in support of Senate Bill 422 which seeks to prioritize residential consumer water sales during public drinking water supply emergencies, prohibit companies that sell bottled water from receiving water rates less than residential customers, and ensure that sellers who export bottled water out of Connecticut do not pay lower sewer rates than residential customers. THe proposed bill, which Senator Bye is sponsoring, came about when citizens from Bloomfield, West Hartford, Windsor and other Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) towns expressed concern about a deal between the town of Bloomfield and the Niagara Bottling Company that would allow up to 1.8 million gallons per day to be withdrawn from the Farmington River watershed, a water source controlled by the MDC that provides drinking water to 12 towns.

The Green New Deal, a nonbinding resolution introduced by Senators Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey, has sparked a lot of discussion over the last several weeks. It is an ambitious plan to confront man-made climate change while also building an American economy that prioritizes renewable energy, innovation, and job creation. As such, it would have a tremendous impact on the solar energy industry (as well as other alternatives to fossil fuels) and the business community as a whole.
As BusinessInsider notes, “this type of rhetoric is arguably ‘the first time that the US — or any major Western economy — has proposed a comprehensive 20-year plan for a green transition.’” The magnitude of what the Green New Deal proposes has raised concerns and objections from those who feel it is too ambitious. Indeed, “the plan would involve major changes to the US' infrastructure, electricity grids, and transportation systems to make them more sustainable and energy-efficient.” However, many professionals in the solar industry and larger business community acknowledge that these sweeping changes are necessary to fight climate change, and “Green New Deal supporters see the plan as a way to take on that enormous threat while stimulating the national economy at the same time.”
How the Green New Deal Impacts Business
A recent article in Harvard Business Review examines how the Green New Deal might impact businesses, and what they can do to prepare, adjust, and help in making this important effort successful. Written by two researchers who have studied the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy technologies, the piece acknowledges the costs of such a large undertaking and argues that “taking advantage of these early opportunities will not only help transform and protect vulnerable communities, it will also allow companies to secure new modes of revenue.”
The authors propose two complementary ways for businesses to lead the way during this transition and create new opportunities at the same time. First, “Companies can help reduce the burdens of the energy transition by supporting economically sustainable low-carbon initiatives,” particularly in areas that are hardest-hit economically by the move away from coal. Creating new economic opportunities through investment in these communities “can help revive stagnating local economies and insulate them from the downsides of the transition.”
In addition, “two new energy business models have evolved over the past decade that demonstrate possibilities for specifically targeting vulnerable populations.” These are subscription-based community solar projects and energy service companies (ESCOs). We’ve discussed community-based solar projects such as microgrids as a way to provide stable, efficient energy for small or large communities. Businesses that invest in these projects help pave the way for sustainable change while also serving communities that would otherwise suffer from disproportionate energy costs. “In ESCOs, firms help other companies design a plan for energy savings through energy efficiency, conservation, or by installing new renewable energy technologies on-site.” Both of these opportunities aid in the transition to a green economy and provide avenues for businesses to benefit while helping vulnerable populations.
Solar Industry Impacts
The solar industry in the U.S. is already booming, contributing technological innovation and creating a large share of new job opportunities. The Green New Deal would turbocharge the already fast-expanding solar sector. Pacific Standard reveals that “a 100 percent emissions cut” like the one proposed by the Green New Deal “might... create a net 6.8 million jobs” across renewable energy industries. Emerging opportunities in the solar industry would include education and professional development for new workers as well as the creation, manufacturing, design, installation, and maintenance of solar technologies.
The Green New Deal represents a massive shift in the priorities of the American economy, but many experts believe it can (and must) be done. As Harvard Business Review notes, “If companies making positive inroads on climate protection flourish, then the communities where those companies are working have a real chance to thrive.” The solar industry and the business community as a whole must take advantage of these opportunities to help pave the way.
At Solar Design Studio, we’re excited to be on the forefront of a changing, renewable economy. We work with business, industrial, and residential clients to build solar solutions that save money and mitigate environmental impacts. Contact us today to learn more!

To meet current and future infrastructure challenges, Thailand needs to develop policy and prioritize between several important investments. Private sector participation in infrastructure financing and service delivery becomes increasingly important at a time of limited public resources. Some overhaul of state-owned enterprises will be needed, so will be clear regulatory guideline at national and local levels. Meeting some of these challenges will enable Thailand to sustain high economic growth, which has helped lift millions of its citizens out of poverty over the last three decades.

Kigali, Rwanda – The University of Rwanda (UR) is excited to announce the beginning of a new Master of Science degree program in Agribusiness. The gender-sensitive degree program will enroll its first cohort of students in February 2015.
The degree program was developed in partnership with Michigan State University (MSU) with funding provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Women’s Leadership Program, implemented globally by Higher Education for Development (HED).
The graduate program is prioritizing accessibility to women and mid-career professionals, and is incorporating extensive experiential learning opportunities for the students. The structure of this program in particular will require all students to partake in an internship opportunity thus better preparing them for leadership and entrepreneurial roles in agriculture in Rwanda.
“Agriculture is vital to the people and economy of Rwanda and many of those involved in agriculture are women. Their input to the business of agriculture is essential. It is also important that agriculture adopts a modern business strategy because it is a business and all those involved must learn the relevant skills," said Emeritus Professor James McWha Vice Chancellor University of Rwanda. " This program brings together all the components necessary for a major development of the future of the agriculture and food industries in Rwanda.”
Using a collaborative approach, the Women’s Leadership Program is designed to support access of women to higher education and advanced degrees, strengthen institutional capacity in research and education on women’s leadership, and promote women’s leadership through higher education extension/outreach efforts in underserved communities.
“The empowerment of women through the expansion of their leadership opportunities and spaces for their voices to be heard is a top priority for USAID globally, including in Rwanda,” said Joseph Lessard, USAID/Rwanda Economic Growth Director. “We really believe this program will give women rich opportunities to share their expertise and play major roles in the country’s economic development. We congratulate the University of Rwanda and Michigan State University on this achievement, and look forward to seeing how it will benefit Rwanda into the future.”
Michigan State University has a rich history of working collaboratively with the Rwandan government and their institutes of higher education.
“It has been a great honor to continue the tradition of our two universities working together to advance the agriculture sector in Rwanda,” said Dr. Gretchen Neisler, Principle Investigator on this project from MSU. “Working collaboratively on the Rwanda Women’s Leadership Program has been very rewarding. I look forward to strengthening our partnership with UR through the continued development of this degree program. I am also excited to explore new and innovative ways for our two universities to work together to educate the next generation of thought leaders at both Michigan State University and the University of Rwanda.”
##The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the foreign assistance agency of the United States Government. USAID supports $150 million of development assistance annually to Rwanda, with programs in health, economic development, education, and democracy and governance.
