Designed and built by the massive Obrez Corporation under contract from the Independent Systems Alliance, the Mako-Class is a fast pursuit cruiser, prioritizing speed and firepower over armour and flexibility. Makos are highly automated, with only a small bridge crew and essential systems' specialists. This reduces cost but also mission capability. Any Mako damaged even slightly needs to find a shipyard or wait for mobile repair platforms to effectuate repairs.
Makos, with a dozen heavy laser cannons and multiple missile silos are equipped with tremendous offensive capacity, supplemented by a small complement of assault bots. These last are very popular with pirates in the Flagian Sector, who are loathe to risk their own skins in boarding actions. As to how pirates came to be equipped with a military-grade vessel, Obrez Corp. also sells to "private entities".
Makos are used to patrol the ISA's borders and police their systems. They are very useful as orbital bombardment platforms. The Rebellion of Planet 3361 (known to locals as Tribune) was brutally crushed by shelling from six Mako boats, later increased to twelve when the ISS Will of Iron was destroyed by a hijacked ground-based planetary defence cannon.
This ship class has seen a lot of action in the frequent clashes between the ISA and the Sol System Union. Their performance against enemy warships was deemed lackluster, and the process to replace them with the Percheron-Class Cruiser was started in 2325.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf answers questions from the press. As the General Assembly convenes for a new legislative session, Governor Tom Wolf today outlined his agenda, in which he continues to prioritize ensuring that Pennsylvania businesses and workers have a path toward recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic, building on bipartisan progress by removing barriers to help everyday Pennsylvanians succeed, and demanding accountability through government reform.

this may not make sense to anyone else, maybe it does...but it definitely answers some questions i've been asking myself....i need to stop SLACKING!!!

~ Heritage conservation I – Movement from intensive economic development to an increased focus in preservation of individual historic landmarks. (Done By: Peh Chu Ming)
What does this picture show?
An ancient temple in Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD)
“The imperatives of a rapidly developing economy dictated the planning agenda” – A line from “A Development City State” by Martin Perry, Lily Kong and Brenda Yeoh.
Indeed, during the mid 1970s, urban conservation was not emphasized upon because of the need to prioritize development back then (Note: Singapore was still a developing country back then!) as a means to propel Singapore to first world status. Urban conservation took on a less visible profile in the government’s plans for the city’s development. The hint of a shift in policy only occurred in 1976 when the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) initiated area-wide studies for conservation opportunities.
The first few urban conservation efforts made by Singapore can be observed in this picture – the conservation of individual cultural or historic landmarks. In the mid 1980s, urban conservation efforts grew in numbers as seen in the government’s increasing interest to save buildings of rich historical backgrounds and heritage and also the realization of policies that were specially directed at the preservation of individual landmarks such as the ancient temple shown in the picture. This was seen as a “token concession” to the importance of conserving the city’s ‘roots’.
Extending the scenario depicted in the picture to other areas of the CBD, traces of conservation efforts as such (preservation of INDIVIDUAL historical landmarks and historically significant buildings) can be observed as well. For example, on the North bank of the Singapore River, various architecturally and historically significant buildings such as the Supreme Court, National Museum and Victoria Theatre are preserved because it is believed that such buildings are ‘valuable collections’ of Singapore’s history during the former colonial times. Similar to the conservation of large civic and cultural districts (e.g. stretches of shophouses that have evolved to be involved in the commercial sector – to be discussed in the next picture! - ), such preservation efforts have too established and enhanced the distinctive qualities of the area as a historical hub of the city. The adaptive reuse of such old buildings can be compared to the new use of traditional shophouses as commercial areas. Both cases show how conserved old buildings can be integrated into the modern landscape and more importantly, how they can be used to help the various commercial establishments now by acting as a ‘retail magnet’.
Apart from the various urban conservation efforts, efforts to IMITATE olden day buildings have too become increasingly ubiquitous as well. For example, the architectural façade of the Raffles Place MRT station is specially built to resemble buildings that originated from the former colonial times. So the question now is: why are such efforts made? Firstly, such features that reveal certain distinctive qualities of the city’s history actually help to enhance the special function of the district as the historical hub of the city. It revitalizes the district as a key cultural and retail magnet of the city.
All in all, the government’s focus on urban conservation has indeed shifted from the 1970s to 1980s. This short commentary reflects the first urban conservation efforts taken by the government – the preservation of individual landmarks and buildings. The next commentary will touch on a closely related form of urban conservation – the conservation of larger cultural districts.
WOW! Our EMS students participated in a simulated large scale disaster drill this past Wednesday, and the results were impressive! They were dispatched to a mock vehicle accident with multiple patients and as a result, a road rage incident with multiple injuries. Volunteers assisted in playing the roles of victims as our students quickly evaluated, prioritized, treated and packaged these victims for transport. Way to go students! #EMS #MockDisaster
The character and safety of both North and South Campus have been weakened by construction and open spaces designed to prioritize automobiles and service vehicles over pedestrians. Strategically placed structured parking, simplified vehicular circulation, and a restoration of the essential hierarchy of open spaces can enliven and beautify each campus.

Sanu Maya Bajracharya, 70, clears debris of and in front of her home.
A key post-earthquake response long prioritized by the Government of Nepal was debris collection and management. This effort is particularly crucial in the worst-affected districts where over 90 percent of the buildings have collapsed. In 2013, to help the Government plan for swift clearance of debris after an earthquake, USAID supported the IOM to work with the Government to develop a debris management plan. This plan pre-identified nine sites for rubble disposal in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital.
In January 2015, the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development formally took ownership of the plan, which provides organizational structure and standardized guidelines for the clearance, removal, staging, reduction, recycling, processing, and disposal of post-earthquake debris in an environmentally responsible manner.

One of the significant points of the film Home was its focus on interconnectedness of life; emphasizing that the engine of life is linkage and nothing is self-sufficient. However, the film also stressed that humans have disrupted the equilibrium of Earth through our mass consumption of nonrenewable energy sources, such as oil, and our prioritizing of the economy above the environment. The earliest, and perhaps most devastating example of this abuse of the planet is agriculture. When Homo sapiens emerged 200,000 years ago, they were a fairly stationary people, and it was not until 20,000 years later that they began to migrate after consuming all of the natural resources in their area. One could argue that migration and agriculture both act as the catalysts that turned growing food for survival into mass farming for profit. Agriculture, in turn, gave birth to cities and civilizations due to an increase in profit and population. As we have just broken the population marker of 7 billion, it leaves many people wondering what will happen to us when we run out of space. We can’t just migrate like the early Homo sapiens did, because there is simply no more room left on this planet. In one especially unsettling statistic, the narrator shared that mankind only has 10 years to reverse this trade of consumption and exhaustion before we completely destroy any semblance of the equilibrium the Earth once had.
Simply by entering "Boston" and "sustainability" into Google's search bar, I found a link to Sustainability at BU, a student-run environmental awareness group dedicated to lessening BU's carbon footprint and creating doable, green alternatives for students and faculty. Sustainability at BU tackles large problems on campus, such as electricity and water overuse, waste management, food, recycling, and transportation, but also addresses what each of us can do on a smaller, yet equally important scale, such as buying a reusable mug, walking more and driving less, and taking shorter showers. By starting small and making smart changes to our lives, we in turn educate others about "going green", which is the goal of these environmental groups. Home conveys a message of hope, in that countries around the world are signing pledges against overuse of resources, creating national parks, initiating recycling, and pushing for education and global awareness. I chose this photograph of a young boy near a pond at Kew Gardens in London, England to exemplify the message of hope found in the film. By creating nature sanctuaries and parks, we can allow people to not only witness, but also experience the interconnectedness of life on this planet. We have done so much damage to our planet, but through education and awareness, we may be able to enlighten further generations to learn from our mistakes.
PORTLAND, Ore. - The strength of the Army Reserve is only as strong as the relationships that support the Soldiers within it. The Army Reserve works to improve the resiliency of those relationships with a chaplain-led program called Strong Bonds.
The 88th Regional Support Command conducts more than 20 Strong Bond events a year, the most recent hosted 32 couples in Portland, Ore., April 4-6.
During the event, participants were given tools and information to enhance communication and healthier relationships with a nationally recognized curriculum called Prevention Relationship Enhancement Program, or PREP. Using this curriculum participants are led through video and workbook-supported discussions on various aspects of communication, personalities and problem solving.
This is especially important for Army Reserve couples according to the 88th RSC Deputy Command Chaplain, Lt. Col. Robert Brady.
“Army Reserve families have a much more complex set of circumstances than their civilian counterparts,” said Brady. “They must balance not only their civilian careers and relationships, but also manage and navigate through deployments, battle assemblies, annual training, schools, and various other military obligations which cause interruptions in life.”
“Additionally, Army Reserve families are typically geographically dispersed and don’t have ready access to resources available on active duty installations such as Army Community Services, behavioral health services, and family life chaplain counseling,” said Brady.
Maj. Virginia Emery, chaplain, 88th RSC Strong Bonds Program manager, said this program is open to and applicable to all couples no matter where they are in their relationships.
“This training is for everyone from newlyweds to those celebrating their 30th anniversary,” said Emery. “It’s also great to have couples who have not been together long to see and gain insights from those who have,” said Emery.
Sgt. Maj. Andrea Jusino and Sgt. 1st Class James Jusino, of the 75th Training Division, are a dual military couple who live in Damascus, Ore. Though married for 31 years, they said the Strong Bonds training benefits them directly as well as gives them tools to help others.
“Many of the things taught at Strong Bonds are applicable in all aspects of life,” said Andrea. “We both have our civilian jobs and children, but we are also Soldiers and can share the tools we have been given with all of them.”
“The communication tools very relevant,” said Andrea. “Life happens and the longer you put something off the more it festers and I think that’s why couples get divorced – because they don’t know how to communicate.”
Although the training is led by chaplains, Strong Bonds is not a ministry event said Emery.
“Strong Bonds is a skills-based training event designed to enhance relationships – regardless of theologies or beliefs,” said Emery. “It is run by chaplains, but the training is not coming from a theological standpoint so that it can reach out to all Army Reserve relationships.”
First Lt. Paulo Quijano, of the 334th Chemical Company, and his husband William reside in Seattle and were married last year upon the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell." Like many of the other newlywed couples, they decided to attend the training to learn some useful tools and be able to incorporate them in their relationship early on.
“It’s good that you don’t wait till there is a problem,” said Paulo. “A lot of this program is about being able to identify problems and frame them correctly. If I can identify issues and define them before they become a problem, then we can work on it before it turns into a bigger issue.”
Will said he was surprised and happy that it wasn’t just another class that focused on how to incorporate the Army into your life.
“It’s not just about military skills,” said Will, “but teaches and gives tools on how we can grow as a couple – and how we can improve our marriage.”
According to Brady, the Strong Bonds program has a substantial impact on the force because of what it does and also what it prevents.
“Who cares if you have the best Soldier in the world if he is consumed with a disintegrating relationship,” said Brady. “If you don’t care for the foundations of our military it will suffer. Every leader realizes that it doesn’t matter if you have bullets if you don’t have a shooter who is focused and able to do his job.”
Cpl. Michael Greenman, of the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, and his wife Eve reside in Oakridge, Ore., and decided to attend the Strong Bonds event after being told about it at their unit.
Michael and Eve have been married for two years, but have known each other for 22 years. Eve said in that time they had developed a very strong friendship and were gratified by the program’s emphasis on that aspect of relationships.
“One thing that it really enforces is friendship,” said Eve. “You have to have that in a relationship otherwise you don’t have all that special stuff. It’s not just about being married, it’s about being friends – that’s what’s important.”
Everyone can benefit from this type training and it is truly worth the investment said Brady.
“Life is busy and we have to prioritize where we spend our time, but sometimes we take for granted the one person who said I will be there through thick and thin,” said Brady. “If you have made a self-chosen commitment and obligation to try and live out your days with someone else - why wouldn’t you want to invest your time into it any time you had the opportunity.”

Today, National Nurses United (NNU), along with a broader coalition of pro-Medicare for All organizations rallied outside of the national headquarters of PhRMA in support of Medicare for All. Hundreds of nurses, patients and supporters organized outside of the company’s front doors with chants and stories of how PhRMA’s focus on profits has caused hardships for many people.
“We have seen patients rationing their insulin to stay alive and families who can’t afford the medications their children need for treating leukemia. Families have to choose between facing homelessness or caring for their children,” said NNU Executive Director Bonnie Castillo, RN. “Drug companies know this, and still choose to prioritize profits over people. This is why we need Medicare for All, to protect patients from the abuses of Big Pharma.”
The rally culminated with a powerful action where nurses used Band-Aids to paste large print outs of various GoFundMe pages that people had set up to crowdsource medications and medical procedures
“Every day, we nurses see the painful toll our current for-profit health insurance system is taking on our patients. Expenses are so crippling that even people ‘with insurance’ have to set up GoFundMe campaigns in order to afford life-saving procedures – this is unacceptable,” said NNU President Zenei Cortez, RN. “The only groups opposed to Medicare for All are the ones profiting off of the status quo – insurance companies, Big Pharma, and the lobbyists who carry out their agenda.”
Nurses have led the grassroots movement for Medicare for All for decades, and have launched an unprecedented, national grassroots movement in support of this legislation, which includes thousands of canvasses and phone banks in every state across the country. H.R. 1384 will be taken up for a hearing in the House Rules Committee tomorrow – the first full committee hearing on Medicare for All -- and NNU will be on Capitol Hill to advocate in support of the bill and to mark this historic first step towards health care justice.

But then again, so is everything else I do. At some point I guess I have to learn to prioritize. Now my piano/cello teachers won't be hounding on me so much for not practicing... maybe ;)
And conveniently, all my friends from JV have either graduated/quit/didn't make the team, so a lot of the attraction of being part of our school's team is... gone.
Although hanging out with the other kids at tryouts, honestly I like them too.
I've learned a thing or two from failing. Not so much how to deal with it, but how to prevent it from happening again. This is Not The End for tennis, but I really won't be playing as much as I'd liked.
This is not an excuse for playing badly at tryouts, this is a response to the surprise and the sadness and the feeling of failure from not making it.
At the same time it's moving on. Realizing what happens when you don't put forth your full effort. Learning how to accept failure especially when I shouldn't fail.
It's kind of.. odd. I've always done my best and it's usually been enough. But at the same time I could've done better and I know that. It's kinda scary thinking about what happens when I don't try my best. When you don't throw away all the pressure and the outside thoughts and focus on what you have to do.
[This will conveniently turn into college application essays. I hope.]

Sanu Maya Bajracharya, 70, clears debris of and in front of her home.
A key post-earthquake response long prioritized by the Government of Nepal was debris collection and management. This effort is particularly crucial in the worst-affected districts where over 90 percent of the buildings have collapsed. In 2013, to help the Government plan for swift clearance of debris after an earthquake, USAID supported the IOM to work with the Government to develop a debris management plan. This plan pre-identified nine sites for rubble disposal in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital.
In January 2015, the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development formally took ownership of the plan, which provides organizational structure and standardized guidelines for the clearance, removal, staging, reduction, recycling, processing, and disposal of post-earthquake debris in an environmentally responsible manner.
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.
