Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.
Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.
Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.

Ukrainian Live Tour — знати, слухати, любити українське наживо.
Соковитий плейлист із добірної музики команда Ukrainian Live збирала в архівах впродовж двох років. Тур “Повернення української класики” — це захоплива розповідь про міфи, час, пристрасті та Галичину. У тринадцятьох містах України в рамках великого концертного туру Ukrainian Live, за підтримки Українського культурного фонду.
З понад 1000 композиторів було обрано 10 митців, які жили і творили музичну культуру на зламі епох. Вони — ніжні та романтичні, трагічні та мрійливі, бурхливі та медитативні — їх твори, об’єднані в унікальну добірку, з акцентом на Час, Пристрасть і Міфи.
Час
Час, помножений на швидкість — це відстань. Міст між минулим і майбутнім.
Сидір Воробкевич — ранній професійний галицький композитор, фортепіанна “Фантазія” якого розпочинає музичну подорож Ukrainian Live Tour. Автодидакт, його постать однозначно знакова для української музичної історії. Лістівські традиції простежуються у творах Воробкевича расподійністю форми та наративністю викладу музичної думки.
Столітній класик українського мистецтва Станіслав Людкевич. Без нього важко уявити Львів ХХ століття. Він переносить у сферу споглядальності, мелодійності та мрій.
Пристрасть
Пришвидшує биття серця, тиск крові граничний.
Пізній романтизм Нестора Нижанківського — згусток емоцій та насичених фарб, від глибокої лірики до потужного драматизму.
Так само пристрасним був Зиновій Лисько. В культурі його закарбували сміливі експерименти з музичною мовою та формою, в найкращих тенденціях нововіденців, Берга та Веберна, та розгалужена ритмічна структура створюють незабутнє відчуття гри з часом та простором.
Міфи
Дві трагічні історії двох галицьких митців.
У концерті прозвучать дві фортепіанні мініатюри Бориса Кудрика — митця з трагічною долею, зламаною тоталітарним режимом. Попри це, Кудрик до останніх днів залишався безмежним оптимістом, його творчість світилася любов’ю до життя. Василь Барвінський пройшов тернистий шлях від ректора львівської консерваторії до полоненого у концтаборах тоталітарного режиму. Його твори спалювали у внутрішньому дворику консерваторії, а зараз увесь світ шукає його загублені рукописи, аби відновити історичну справедливість. Так склалося, що з Борисом Кудриком вони були ув’язнені у сусідніх концтаборах - проте лише Барвінський був реабілітований за життя. Йому вдалося привести назад до України декілька мініатюр Кудрика, а безліч фортепіанних сонат, якими славився композитор були назавжди втрачені.
З 15 вересня до 26 жовтня, у 13 містах України, за маршрутом - Львів, Тернопіль, Хмельницький, Вінниця, Житомир, Рівне, Київ, Чернігів, Харків, Кривий Ріг, Дніпро, Кропивницький та Одеса.
Команда Ukrainian Live ретельно працює над тим, щоб класичною музикою могли насолодитись якомога більше людей, щоб українці пізнали та цінували своє національне культурне надбання.

Ukrainian Live Tour — know, listen and love Ukrainian live.
A rich play list of selected music the Ukrainian Live team had been gathering through archives for two years. The "Return of Ukrainian Classical Music" tour is an exciting tale about myths, time, passion, and Galicia. In thirteen cities of Ukraine, in the framework of the Ukrainian Live grand concert tour with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
10 artists who lived and created musical culture at the break of eras were chosen from over 1,000 composers. Their creations are tender and romantic, tragic and wistful, wild and meditative and they are combined into a unique selection with emphasis on Time, Passion and Myths.
Time
Time multiplied by speed is distance. A bridge between past and present.
Sydir Vorobkevych is an early professional Galician composer. His "Fantasy" for the piano begins the musical journey of the Ukrainian Live Tour. Being a self-taught man, he is uniquely significant for Ukrainian musical history. Traditions of Liszt can be traced in the works by Vorobkevych with a rhapsodic form and a narrative expression of the musical thought.
Stanyslav Lyudkevych is a centennial classic of Ukrainian art. It's hard to imagine the XX century Lviv without him. He brings us into the realm of observance, melody and dreams.
Passion
The heart is quickening its pace and blood pressure is up to the limit.
Late romanticism of Nestor Nyzhankivsky is a cluster of emotions and rich colors, from deep lyrics to powerful drama.
Zynoviy Lysko was just as passionate. His work is a part of our culture and he is remembered for bold experiments with musical language and form in the best trends of the newcomers Berg and Webern and the ramified rhythmic structure, which when combined create an unforgettable feeling of playing with time and space.
Myths
Two tragic stories of two artists from Galicia.
At the concert you will hear two miniatures for the piano written by Borys Kudryk, an artist with a tragic fate destroyed by the totalitarian regime. Despite all of that, Kudryk remained an optimist till his last days and his work shines with love for life. Vasyl Barvinskyi went through a thorny path from being the Head of the Lviv Academy of Music to a prisoner in the concentration camps of the totalitarian regime. His works were burnt in the inner yard of the Academy and now the whole world is searching for his lost manuscripts to restore historic justice. It so happened that both he and Borys Kudryk were imprisoned in neighboring camps. However, only Barvinskyi got exonerated while still being alive. He managed to bring several miniatures by Kudryk back to Ukraine, but numerous piano sonatas the composer was so famous for were lost forever.
From September 15 till October 26, in 13 cities of Ukraine with the following route — Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi and Odesa.
The Ukrainian Live team puts in a lot of effort so that classical music can be enjoyed by as many people as possible and so that Ukrainian know and value their national cultural heritage.

Penn Theatre Arts Fall 2015 Mainstage Production
Directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter.
The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, BURY THE DEAD, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers. About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.
Performances:
November 18–21, 7:00pm
@ Annenberg Center Live, Bruce Montgomery Theatre

'The Eumenides' is the third play in Aeschylus’ great masterpiece, the tragic trilogy 'The Oresteia,' written more than 2,500 years ago. In response to the pleadings of his sister Electra and at the command of the god Apollo, Orestes has murdered his mother, Clytemnestra, who was wife and murderer of his father Agamemnon. As a consequence, Orestes finds himself tormented by the terrible Furies, hideous ancient goddesses of the underworld divinely charged with punishing blood murders. Guests follow the actors through Penn Museum’s third floor galleries.
Directed by Marcia Ferguson and featuring original music by composer Patrick Lamborn, this production is performed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Theatre Arts Program’s Artistic Resident for 2016, Sebastienne Mundheim/White Box Theatre, who created the production design, with additional support from the Provost’s Interdisciplinary Arts fund.

Spires Runners Post Strong Showing at Nationals
The University of Saint Mary Men’s Cross Country Team and Women's Team runner Ana Gamboa competed this Saturday in the 2013 NAIA Cross Country National Championships at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, Kan. The men’s and women’s race featured 32 of the best teams and over 300 of the best cross country runners in the NAIA.
It turned out to be a very cold morning with the temperature only being in the 20’s for the start of both the men and women’s race.
The Spire men had a very good showing at the team’s first-ever national championship race in the program's three-year history. The team placed 22nd in the country, beating out 10 of the 32 teams that qualified for the NAIA National Championship Meet.
The Spires first runner to finish was senior Brooks Ballou, who placed 83rd with a time of 25:44.82.
Coach David Dominguez had this to say about Brooks and his last collegiate cross country race for the University of Saint Mary: “You could not ask for a better teammate and a harder working athlete. Brooks is one of those special athletes that you are always sad to see graduate. I look forward to seeing the success he will have during the 2014 outdoor track season.”
The Spires had several other outstanding performances on Saturday. The second runner to come in was junior Garret Colglazier, who was 106th with a time of 25:56.98. The third USM runner was Junior Josh Whittaker, who placed 167th with a time of 26:25.94. The Spires' 4th runner -- who had an outstanding day even after being sick for several weeks -- was Aaron Potter, who placed 177th and posted a personal best time of 26:30.78. The Spires fifth runner in was Jacob Sherman, who placed 238th with a personal course best time of 27:12.8. To round out the Saint Mary seven, Russell Brown placed 263rd with a time of 27:33.90, and Ricardo Cortez placed 291st with a time of 28:17.74.
The lone USM Women's Cross Country runner racing at the national championship event was Ana Gamboa. Ana is the first female National Qualifier in USM history. Ana placed 104th out of 321 runners with a time of 19:13.31.
Head Coach Dominguez said “Ana ran a great race; she came out here and gave it her all. She represented the University of Saint Mary very well.”
The next race for the University of Saint Mary distance runners will be 2013 NAIA Qualifier Half Marathon held in Winfield, KS on Dec 6th.

Ukrainian Live Tour — знати, слухати, любити українське наживо.
Соковитий плейлист із добірної музики команда Ukrainian Live збирала в архівах впродовж двох років. Тур “Повернення української класики” — це захоплива розповідь про міфи, час, пристрасті та Галичину. У тринадцятьох містах України в рамках великого концертного туру Ukrainian Live, за підтримки Українського культурного фонду.
З понад 1000 композиторів було обрано 10 митців, які жили і творили музичну культуру на зламі епох. Вони — ніжні та романтичні, трагічні та мрійливі, бурхливі та медитативні — їх твори, об’єднані в унікальну добірку, з акцентом на Час, Пристрасть і Міфи.
Час
Час, помножений на швидкість — це відстань. Міст між минулим і майбутнім.
Сидір Воробкевич — ранній професійний галицький композитор, фортепіанна “Фантазія” якого розпочинає музичну подорож Ukrainian Live Tour. Автодидакт, його постать однозначно знакова для української музичної історії. Лістівські традиції простежуються у творах Воробкевича расподійністю форми та наративністю викладу музичної думки.
Столітній класик українського мистецтва Станіслав Людкевич. Без нього важко уявити Львів ХХ століття. Він переносить у сферу споглядальності, мелодійності та мрій.
Пристрасть
Пришвидшує биття серця, тиск крові граничний.
Пізній романтизм Нестора Нижанківського — згусток емоцій та насичених фарб, від глибокої лірики до потужного драматизму.
Так само пристрасним був Зиновій Лисько. В культурі його закарбували сміливі експерименти з музичною мовою та формою, в найкращих тенденціях нововіденців, Берга та Веберна, та розгалужена ритмічна структура створюють незабутнє відчуття гри з часом та простором.
Міфи
Дві трагічні історії двох галицьких митців.
У концерті прозвучать дві фортепіанні мініатюри Бориса Кудрика — митця з трагічною долею, зламаною тоталітарним режимом. Попри це, Кудрик до останніх днів залишався безмежним оптимістом, його творчість світилася любов’ю до життя. Василь Барвінський пройшов тернистий шлях від ректора львівської консерваторії до полоненого у концтаборах тоталітарного режиму. Його твори спалювали у внутрішньому дворику консерваторії, а зараз увесь світ шукає його загублені рукописи, аби відновити історичну справедливість. Так склалося, що з Борисом Кудриком вони були ув’язнені у сусідніх концтаборах - проте лише Барвінський був реабілітований за життя. Йому вдалося привести назад до України декілька мініатюр Кудрика, а безліч фортепіанних сонат, якими славився композитор були назавжди втрачені.
З 15 вересня до 26 жовтня, у 13 містах України, за маршрутом - Львів, Тернопіль, Хмельницький, Вінниця, Житомир, Рівне, Київ, Чернігів, Харків, Кривий Ріг, Дніпро, Кропивницький та Одеса.
Команда Ukrainian Live ретельно працює над тим, щоб класичною музикою могли насолодитись якомога більше людей, щоб українці пізнали та цінували своє національне культурне надбання.

Ukrainian Live Tour — know, listen and love Ukrainian live.
A rich play list of selected music the Ukrainian Live team had been gathering through archives for two years. The "Return of Ukrainian Classical Music" tour is an exciting tale about myths, time, passion, and Galicia. In thirteen cities of Ukraine, in the framework of the Ukrainian Live grand concert tour with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
10 artists who lived and created musical culture at the break of eras were chosen from over 1,000 composers. Their creations are tender and romantic, tragic and wistful, wild and meditative and they are combined into a unique selection with emphasis on Time, Passion and Myths.
Time
Time multiplied by speed is distance. A bridge between past and present.
Sydir Vorobkevych is an early professional Galician composer. His "Fantasy" for the piano begins the musical journey of the Ukrainian Live Tour. Being a self-taught man, he is uniquely significant for Ukrainian musical history. Traditions of Liszt can be traced in the works by Vorobkevych with a rhapsodic form and a narrative expression of the musical thought.
Stanyslav Lyudkevych is a centennial classic of Ukrainian art. It's hard to imagine the XX century Lviv without him. He brings us into the realm of observance, melody and dreams.
Passion
The heart is quickening its pace and blood pressure is up to the limit.
Late romanticism of Nestor Nyzhankivsky is a cluster of emotions and rich colors, from deep lyrics to powerful drama.
Zynoviy Lysko was just as passionate. His work is a part of our culture and he is remembered for bold experiments with musical language and form in the best trends of the newcomers Berg and Webern and the ramified rhythmic structure, which when combined create an unforgettable feeling of playing with time and space.
Myths
Two tragic stories of two artists from Galicia.
At the concert you will hear two miniatures for the piano written by Borys Kudryk, an artist with a tragic fate destroyed by the totalitarian regime. Despite all of that, Kudryk remained an optimist till his last days and his work shines with love for life. Vasyl Barvinskyi went through a thorny path from being the Head of the Lviv Academy of Music to a prisoner in the concentration camps of the totalitarian regime. His works were burnt in the inner yard of the Academy and now the whole world is searching for his lost manuscripts to restore historic justice. It so happened that both he and Borys Kudryk were imprisoned in neighboring camps. However, only Barvinskyi got exonerated while still being alive. He managed to bring several miniatures by Kudryk back to Ukraine, but numerous piano sonatas the composer was so famous for were lost forever.
From September 15 till October 26, in 13 cities of Ukraine with the following route — Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi and Odesa.
The Ukrainian Live team puts in a lot of effort so that classical music can be enjoyed by as many people as possible and so that Ukrainian know and value their national cultural heritage.

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.
Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action. Go Pirates!
Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., (Oct. 18, 2009) – Adding to the Atlas rocket program’s accomplished five decade legacy, a United Launch Alliance Atlas V successfully launched the U.S. Air Force’s Defense Meteorological Satellite Program F18 (DMSP F18) mission from Space Launch Complex-3 here at 9:12 a.m. PDT, today. The DMSP F18 spacecraft was built for the Air Force by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, Calif.
This mission marked the 600th launch of an Atlas vehicle, carrying on a proud tradition that began with the first Atlas A rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., in 1957. For the Atlas V, today’s success was the 18th for the program, with a 100 percent mission success rate. The inaugural launch for the latest Atlas V configuration occurred from CCAFS on Aug. 21, 2002.
"This is a proud moment in the 52 year history of the Atlas program and for United Launch Alliance,” said Mark Wilkins, ULA vice president, Atlas Product Line. “First, I want to thank our Air Force customer for trusting ULA to launch this important mission. I’d also like to recognize all the men and women who have served on the Atlas team since 1957. Their determination, dedication and attention to detail have made this significant milestone possible. Combining our Atlas and Delta launch vehicle program’s more than 100 years of experience gives ULA the most experienced space launch team in the world.”
During the program’s history, 315 launches have taken place from CCAFS with 285 missions, including today’s launch, launching from Vandenberg. While the Atlas program has launched numerous important missions, it may be most famous for launching Mercury astronauts John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra and Gordon Cooper during the early days of human space flight. Atlas has also launched several Moon and planetary missions including the recent Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission on June 18.
This mission, designated AV-017, was launched aboard an Atlas V 401 configuration using the Common Core Booster powered by the RD-180 engine. The 17 previous Atlas V launches included three missions each for the Air Force, NASA, and NRO along with eight for commercial customers.
ULA's next launch, currently scheduled for Nov. 14, is the Atlas V IntelSat-14 mission from Space Launch Complex-41 at CCAFS.

A Roman amphitheater thought to date to the first century A.D. has been discovered in the town of Volterra, once a well-known Etruscan city that fell under Roman rule. “It’s puzzling that no historical account records the existence of such an imposing amphitheater. Possibly it was abandoned at a certain time and gradually covered by vegetation,” archaeologist Elena Sorge of the Tuscan Superintendency told Discovery News.

“This amphitheater was quite large. Our survey dig revealed three orders of seats that could accommodate about 10,000 people. They were entertained by gladiator fights and wild beast baiting,” Sorge explained. A survey conducted with ground-penetrating radar by Carlo Battini of the University of Genoa indicates that much of the amphitheater, which was constructed of stone in the same manner as the nearby theater, is under 20 to 32 feet of dirt.

Un anfiteatro romano è stato scoperto nella città di Volterra, una città etrusca ben nota che cadde sotto il dominio romano nel I secolo a.C.
“E ‘sconcertante che nessun racconto storico registri l’esistenza di una tale imponente anfiteatro. Forse è stato abbandonato in un determinato momento e gradualmente ricoperto dalla vegetazione”, dice l’archeologa Elena Sorge della Soprintendenza toscana a Discovery News.
“Questo anfiteatro era abbastanza grande. La nostra indagine ha rivelato tre ordini di posti che potevano ospitare circa 10.000 persone. Sono stati fatti combattimenti di gladiatori e adescamento di animali selvaggi – dice Sorge. “Un sondaggio condotto con un radar da Carlo Battini dell’Università degli Studi di Genova ha indicato che gran parte dell’anfiteatro, che è stato costruito in pietra nello stesso modo come il vicino teatro, è sotto terra da 20 a 32 piedi di spessore.”
Il Colosseo a Volterra scoperta del secolo?
Stavano scavando per realizzare un’opera di bonifica vicino a Porta Diana, a sud della necropoli etrusca. A un certo punto la pala meccanica, tolto un primo strato di terra, urta una fila di grossi ciottoli ammonticchiati verso la collinetta del cimitero comunale. I lavori si fermano subito e qualcuno tra i responsabili del cantiere si mette a ripulire con le mani il terriccio che ancora copre quello che sembra essere un manufatto antico. Un gesto istintivo e prudente. Da queste parti, a Volterra e dintorni, quando si scava è facile imbattersi in reperti dell’età del ferro, etruschi, romani o medievali, e conviene bloccarsi al minimo sospetto. È così che sono affiorati i primi tratti di un muro, una ventina di metri, che qualche giorno dopo, con l’intervento della Soprintendenza ai beni archeologici della Toscana, appare con nitore in tutta la sua forma facendo sobbalzare il responsabile dell’ufficio, Andrea Pessina e il sindaco Marco Buselli.
Si tratterebbe infatti di una scoperta unica nel suo genere: un arco ellittico lungo ottanta metri che lascia presupporre l’esistenza in quel sito di un edificio pubblico di origini romane adibito, probabilmente, a giochi gladiatori. La struttura, peraltro, assomiglia molto al Teatro di Vallebona, dell’epoca di Augusto, che sorge dall’altra parte della città. Bisogna scavare di più, ora, per fare emergere il resto di questo “piccolo Colosseo”, che si nasconderebbe ancora sotto terra. I finanziamenti sono stati promessi. E il “museo a cielo aperto” di Volterra si arricchirà, speriamo presto, di un altro prezioso gioiello. Una prova di civiltà.

L’anfiteatro romano di Volterra nel 2015 era “L’Anfiteatro che non c’era”, una sorta di claim pubblicitario che campeggia ora sulla vivacissima e seguita pagina Facebook dello scavo archeologico. Non c’era perchè nessuno ne sospettava neppure l’esistenza: nessuna fonte antica, nessun reperto riconosciuto, nessun sospetto che un edificio mastodontico giacesse silenzioso da forse oltre 1600 anni, in una vallecola verde di erba, di ortaggi e alberi da frutto a poca distanza dalla necropoli etrusca del Portone, con le cosiddette tombe dei Marmini.
Questa necropoli è, di fatto, la “fornitrice” di una gran parte del materiale conservato al museo Guarnacci, uno dei più antichi d’Europa. Un’area scavata dall’Ottocento in poi e non certo ignorata da generazioni di archeologi, di ricerche, di sopralluoghi.
Benchè poco più a sud del teatro romano di Vallebuona, la cui scoperta risale agli anni ’50 del XX secolo, e poco più a nord della Porta Diana, questo lacerto bucolico nell’area urbana di Volterra sembrava solo un vasto terreno collinare di fianco al cimitero, quello moderno, senza nessuna traccia visibile anche ad occhio esperto. E neppure i simpatici signori che si affacciavano dalla loro casa verso la vallata dell’Era, breve e vivace fiume che si butta in Arno, avevano mai sospettato che la loro scoscesa proprietà potesse nascondere una delle più importanti scoperte dell’archeologia classica recente in Italia.
Eppure, proprio le acque che poi finiscono nell’Era, avevano deciso di fare la loro parte nella scoperta. Il regime torrentizio del fiume è alimentato da quelle che gli arrivano veloci dai poggi soprastanti. Per tenerle sotto controllo da secoli i fossi e i torrenti più o meno regolati, che qui chiamano botri, sono essenziali. Il deflusso idrico dal colle di Volterra si era ridotto troppo a seguito di una serie di frane dovute al maltempo, e il Consorzio Idraulico del Basso Valdarno nell’estate del 2015 aveva iniziato i lavori di ripristino. E qui, per fortuna, scatta il buonsenso dell’archeologia preventiva, sotto il controllo della Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pisa (Sorge, 2016, p.249).
Il botro di Docciola fluiva attraverso un argine malmesso, dove l’acqua aveva scoperto un muro in panchino, la pietra che rappresenza l’essenza stessa della città, la spina dorsale dei suoi edifici. Una decina di metri in tutto, ma non dritti, curvi. E non molto curvi, una cosa appena accennata. Poi altri 7 metri, un po’ curvi. Poi altri 20 metri, ancora curvi. Insomma, un totale di 42 metri, manco a dirlo, tutti curvi.
“Sta a vedere che… Va beh, proviamo sulla parte opposta della vallecola…”. Ed ecco un altro saggio di scavo, e ancora due spezzoni murari. Non vi diciamo che aspetto avevano, avete già indovinato. Insomma, a settembre 2015 era chiaro che la struttura fosse ellittica, gigantesca, e appartenente (per tipologie murarie) a un edificio pubblico di epoca romana. Insomma, se due più due faceva ancora quattro, un edificio con ellittico con un asse di 87 metri ed uno di 68 non poteva che essere un anfiteatro. L’anfiteatro che non c’era. E che ad un lustro di distanza c’è eccome, e non smette di riservare grosse sorprese. Ecco il motivo per cui abbiamo scelto di raccontare i primi cinque anni di questa indagine archeologica nel primo videoreportage di ArchaeoReporter.
La sorpresa arriva in un altro settembre, quello del 2020, alle 15 del primo giorno. Il buco che si apre è quello tipico di una tana di un animale, magari un comune topo. Elena Sorge, l’archeologa della soprintendenza che si culla il suo scavo fin dal primo giorno, sa che bisogna procedere con prudenza comunque, come lo sanno i suoi collaboratori. Infatti il foro si allarga, poi ancora, s’intravvede un arco perfettamente conservato. Arriva una torcia elettrica, e si fa fatica a scrutare il fondo: è una galleria perfettamente conservata, almeno fin dove s’intuiscono possibili crolli più avanti. Serviva per portare gli spettatori da un ordine dell’anfiteatro all’altro.

Quando nella prima settimana di settembre 2020 è apparso il sistema di ambulacri sotterranei, ben conservati (che verranno esplorati nel 2021, con l’aiuto dei vigili del fuoco di Pisa), si è aggiunto un altro tassello importante alla compensione del monumento. E questo vale anche per la scoperta del cuniculo circumpodiale, ossia il corridoio provvisto di volta che circondava l’arena. Ancora più recente la scoperta del corridoio voltato che circondava l’arena, con probabili funzioni di servizio per gladiatori, addetti ai servizi e forse anche le belve per gli spettacoli (Sorge, 2020). Da ultimo, appare evidente come sotto l’arena stessa si trovi un altro sistema sotterraneo, che si dovrà valutare con quali funzioni con il proseguimento degli scavi. Ci si può forse aspettare, ma qui mi gioco la carta della scommessa più che dell’ipotesi, un sistema complesso paragonabile ad anfiteatri tipo quello di Capua.
Ce n’è comunque abbastanza ritenere il monumento come un privilegiato campo d’azione da cui ricavare preziosi dati, soprattutto da mettere in confronto con altri edifici analoghi ancora solo parzialmente indagati. Una pietra angolare per la ricerca archeologica legata agli edifici pubblici romani in Italia
Nota tecnica: Lo scavo è diretto da Elena Sorge, funzionario della Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio di Pisa, con a collaborazione di professionisti, tecnici dell’Istituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Cuturale del CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche), studiosi dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze e di Pisa e della Detroit Foundation. Nel 2020 è eseguito da Cooperativa Archeologia.
Nota sui Finanziamenti: tra i primi a finanziare gli scavi la Fondazione e la Cassa di Risparmio di Volterra; poi la Direzione Generale Archeologia; il Comune di Volterra che ha acquisito e reso di proprietà pubblica il terreno dell’area di scavo; la Regione Toscana e i finanziamenti legati al concorso Art Bonus.
22 novembre 2020: ci segnalano cortesemente che negli ultimi 50 anni in effetti in Italia è stato scavato (e pubblicato) anche l’anfiteatro di Cividate Camuno, scoperto nel 1984 assieme al teatro (e non è l’unico soggetto di ricerca, agggiungiamo). Senz’altro diverso come “impatto”, non paragonabile come stato di conservazione e dimensioni, ma molto importante per gettare luce sui processi della presenza romana nell’arco alpino.

For five years, excavations have been underway in the ‘lost’ Roman amphitheatre of Volterra. ArchaeoReporter could not have chosen a better location for its first story. The report features aerial images taken with a drone, as well as close-ups of the site, which was discovered in 2015 and continuously challenges what is known about classical archaeology. The amphitheatre was once home to fierce gladiators and gruesome battles, but more importantly it is considered to be a symbol of the romanisation of Etruria. Elena Sorge, the scientific director at the Archaeological Superintendence of Pisa and Livorno [Officially: Soprintendenza archeologica di Pisa e Livorno], guides us through the work site, where archaeological investigations and restoration efforts are carried out simultaneously, unearthing new findings month after month. 2020 has marked the discovery of the underground passageways and tunnels, as well as of the vaulted corridor, coins and other finds that are critical for dating the site, which is currently thought to come from the Julio-Claudian era.

This discovery was actually made by accident during the maintenance work being carried out on a moat previously excavated in the 1950s. It is a small, rapid stream of water flowing down the Volterra hill, right behind Porta Diana and a little downhill from the Roman theatre. The Superintendence has entrusted the monitoring of the area to professional archaeologists, a typical example of preventive archaeology. It is important to remember that in many excavation sites there is an archaeological risk. It really says a lot that, in Italy, being able to learn about and enhance one’s own land is considered to be a risk, instead of a potential source of valuable research, both in archaeology and in other fields of study. In short, the wall discovered in July, 2015, has a slightly accentuated curve, which is indicative of something unconventional, together with the fact that the construction technique is similar to that of the theatre from the Augustan age.

Verrà ricordato come lo scavo archeologico del 2020: l'Anfiteatro di Volterra, scoperto nel 2015, è stato scavato approfonditamente a partire dal 2019 e quest'anno ha rivelato scoperte eccezionali.
Nell’archeologia, il 2020 sarà ricordato probabilmente come l’anno dell’Anfiteatro di Volterra: quest’anno, infatti, la campagna di scavo dell’importantissimo sito archeologico scoperto appena cinque anni fa è ripresa con vigore dando alla luce esiti sorprendenti e inaspettati. Il risultato più eclatante, lo scorso 1° settembre, è stato sicuramente il rinvenimento del sistema di ambulacri sotterranei, finora sepolti nella collina, che in antico gli spettatori utilizzavano, come negli stadi moderni, per raggiungere le gradinate dalle quali assistevano agli spettacoli.

Nelle settimane successive è stato scoperto anche il corridoio voltato che circondava l’arena, detto “cuniculo circumpodiale”, e che serviva invece ai gladiatori e in generale a coloro che si esibivano nell’arena (era il punto da cui entravano anche le eventuali belve sfruttate per i giochi: non si trattava però di tigri o leoni, animali che si esibivano nelle strutture più grandi in quanto animali di pregio e difficili da far arrivare oltre che da addestrare alla lotta, bensì, con più probabilità, di orsi, lupi o comunque animali più facilmente reperibili).

Lo scavo è seguito dalla Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio delle province di Pisa e Livorno ed è diretto dall’archeologa Elena Sorge: dal 2019 (anno in cui sono cominciate le operazioni) ha potuto contare su finanziamenti per poco più di ottocentomila euro, arrivati grazie al concorso Art Bonus e alla partecipazione della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Volterra, della Regione Toscana e del Comune di Volterra. Serviranno altri tre milioni per completare lo scavo: ma sono risorse ben investite, perché a Volterra sta emergendo una struttura di eccezionale rilevanza, peraltro ben conservata.

A Volterra una delle scoperte archeologiche più importanti della storia: l’anfiteatro romano. Sparito dalle carte e dalle cronache antiche già dal III secolo dopo Cristo riaffiora per un caso fortuito nel 2015.
Da quel momento torna alla luce in tutto il suo splendore “L’Anfiteatro che non c’era” grazie alle ricerche e agli scavi guidati dalla Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio delle province di Pisa e Livorno. Pietra dopo pietra, l’anfiteatro romano con i suoi tre ordini della grande ampiezza di 32 metri per 64 riscrive la storia della Volterra romana come nuovo importante centro del potere imperiale nell’antichità.

“Volterra Cantiere Aperto” grazie agli investimenti congiunti di Regione Toscana, Ministero della Cultura, Comune di Volterra, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Volterra e privati che superano in totale i 3 milioni di euro. Un cantiere destinato a durare anni, soprattutto se parliamo degli scavi archeologici dell’Anfiteatro romano, che non resterà per molto di solo appannaggio dei ricercatori, ma si trasformerà già dal 2022 in un sito visitabile in sicurezza.

8). KATHARINE KEANE, "HISTORIC PRESERVATION - Architecture Researchers Help Document First Amphitheater Discovered in Europe in 150 Years. The Journal of American Institute of Architects (03 Sept. 2019).
Volterra, Italy - A team from the Volterra-Detroit Foundation, Autodesk, and Case Technologies spent two weeks this spring archiving one of the greatest discoveries on the continent in more than a century.
This spring, architecture students, professors, and volunteers associated with the Volterra-Detroit Foundation were offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Volterra, Italy, to help digitally archive the first ancient amphitheater discovery in Europe in 150 years.
It all began in 2015 when a construction team was working to expand a neighborhood cemetery where they "stumbled across the remains of what appeared to be a Roman wall," Tristan Randall, strategic project executive at Autodesk, one of the program's sponsors, tells ARCHITECT. Accustomed to "sudden surprises like this, the workers contacted the local archaeology supervisor, who was able to determine that, underneath the site they were excavating, there were remains of a Roman amphitheater," Randall continues. This amphitheater would turn out to be the first such discovery in Europe in more than a century. "It's not just a once-in-a-lifetime event," he says. "Think—six or seven generations. So this is a privilege and an incredible opportunity."

Over two weeks in April, 13 participants settled into the Etruscan-era town to digitally scan and record the amphitheater, which measures approximately 84 meters (275 feet) long and 66 meters (216 feet) wide, according to Elena Sorge, archaeological superintendent of Tuscany. The structure likely featured three tiers of seating with a 10,000-person capacity, and an access tunnel underneath. This size makes it all the more shocking that the amphitheater was ever lost.
"The majority of amphitheaters known today did not have to be 'discovered,' as their remains were at such scale that they were known centuries ago, like [the] Colosseum," explains University of Detroit Mercy professor of architecture and program lead Wladek Fuchs. "As far as I know, there are no studies of the history of discoveries of the amphitheaters, for exactly that reason—that most of them were never completely lost.”

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

Bare spots on the golf course are where trees used to be, because when sizeable military aircraft land here for airshows or when in transit in need of fuel or rest, they will come here where over time trees were planted closer and closer to the taxiways and closer to hitting wingtips; the trees were also habitats where birds could roost and nest right next to flying jets; this is a problem for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) Airport Wildlife Hazard Management Program's local Wildlife Biologist Michael Pacheco whose Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) called for the collaboration of the golf course managers, 12th Flying Training Wing Safety Office, Civil Engineering Squadron, and Air Field Management to remove the problematic trees, at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) - Randolph, Texas, on April 23, 2020.

What is your best memory of WSSU?
My best memory of WSSU would be Homecoming! All the support, love and positive energy from alumni, students, faculty and staff is amazing! Seeing thousands of people coming together, bring their kids and relatives to brag about how awesome WSSU is priceless. To celebrate this wonderful institution through donations, attendance at athletic events as well as fellowshipping on the yard is phenomenal!
What do you love about WSSU?
The one thing I love about WSSU is the family oriented vibe I receive from not only the faculty and staff, but also from the students? There is not a moment that goes by each and every day where I do not see the genuine vibe and care our students have for one another. Wither it is student leaders encouraging other students to get more involved with student activities or students coming together to walk to the football or basketball games to support athletics or senate meetings, together we act as one.
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
My plans after graduation are to further my education to receive my masters in the field of education. With this goal I plan to teach at a Title 1 school in the Forsyth County region to help leave a legacy in the community of Winston Salem and embrace my love and the importance of my HBCU.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
Being that WSSU is a Liberal Arts Institution is has prepared me with the knowledge and skill set in different content areas where I will be able to use that background knowledge and the fundamental skill set to adapt to any job I come across in the future in life.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
WSSU has made a huge difference in my life. Getting involved in different organizations such as Greek Life, Housing and Resident Life and Student Government Association has taught m
ORLANDO, Florida -
Boom.
The shotgun blast reverberates through the phone receiver. Breathless seconds pass before an eerily calm voice cuts through the ringing ear pressed against the other line.
“I just fired a round into the ceiling,” says the voice in a grave, matter-of-fact tone. “You have five minutes to tell me why the next one shouldn’t go through my skull.”
This harrowing crisis is one of dozens of roleplaying scenarios that 27 students assigned to the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) encountered during an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and Ask, Care, Escort – Suicide Intervention (ACE-SI) workshop conducted April 15-17, 2016, in Orlando, Fla.
“ASIST gives students the fundamental tools, knowledge and resources to help save the life an individual contemplating suicide,” said Gerald Felder, suicide program manager, 143rd ESC. “This course teaches students how to identify people expressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors and take a proactive approach in providing immediate and compassionate care for them through hands-on training.”
Created by LivingWorks Education, a social enterprise dedicated to saving lives through the creation, development and delivery of innovative training experiences, ASIST has trained more than 1 million people throughout the world on how to apply scientifically tested tools and techniques to reduce the risks associated with suicide. The U.S. Army partnered with LivingWorks in 2009 to integrate ASIST training in the Army’s suicide prevention campaign.
“[ASIST] is more than just a series of dry presentations that explain why people shouldn’t kill themselves,” said Army Spc. Grace Lee, an ASIST student serving as a transportation management coordinator for the 520th Movement Control Team in Orlando. “It breaks the ‘death by PowerPoint’ mold by creating a caring and comfortable environment that encourages students to share their ideas and personal experiences … The ASIST instructors encourage us to address one another on a first name basis, [and] I feel this practice helps students speak freely among themselves by reducing the tensions associated with rank and status.”
“The foundational framework of ASIST assumes that anyone can save a life,” added Felder, a native of Birmingham, Ala. “The program’s proactive approach gives students the confidence to take action with the understanding that they should strive for proficiency rather than perfection. ASIST emphasizes this distinction to remind students that their training is equivalent to applying first aid to a wounded comrade, and that they should reach out to their chaplain, behavioral health specialist, chain-of-command or other experts with the same skill set and resources to provide long-term care.
The workshop’s interactive audio-visual presentations, small group discussions and roleplaying scenarios culminate into a versatile program that provides practical training for Army Reserve Soldiers beyond their military obligations.
“This is the second time I’ve taken this course,” said Lee, a Honolulu, Hawaii, native currently working as a nurse for a Florida Hospital women’s care clinic. “Shortly after I received my ASIST training certification, I applied my newfound skills and knowledge to help my patients … Taking this course again reinforces what I learned, especially on how to identify the subtle signs of suicide and what questions to ask when you suspect someone is thinking about taking his or her own life.”
Suicides in the Army ranks rose sharply from 45 in 2001 to 165 in 2012. Three years later, this all-time high dropped by nearly 20 percent. Felder partially attributes this decrease to the surge of Soldiers and Department of the Army Civilians who have participated in an ASIST workshop. He punctuates this correlation with recent suicide statistics within his command.
“The 143rd ESC sadly lost eight Soldiers to suicide last year,” said Felder. “Since Jan.1, 2016, only one Soldier in this command has committed suicide. Although one life lost to suicide is too many, the fact that the command reported nine suicidal threats that were averted through intervention tells me that the Soldiers, civilians and family members of this command are communicating with one another and using the plethora of suicide prevention resources available to them to include the training many have received through the ASIST program.”
Although an analysis of the specific contributions of ASIST to the Army’s declining suicide rate may prove difficult to measure, its personable approach and collaborative environment have given thousands of Soldiers the confidence to uphold the Army values founded on the basic yet essential moral principle that all life is precious.
“I lost my brother and nearly lost my husband to suicide,” said Lee. “If I had ASIST training during those dark days, I may have spared my family and me from immense pain and hardship. People tend to forget that suicide takes a heavy toll on the living as well … I highly encourage my fellow Soldiers to enroll in ASIST training immediately and actively participate in all the activities with an open mind.”

On 7th May 2015 The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), East Africa hosted the program’s Independent Science Panel (ISP) and Program Management Committee (PMC) at the Nyando Climate-Smart Villages in Kenya, one of the region’s learning sites. The team visited farmers to see the uptake of various climate- smart technologies that have made them food secure and increased their adaptive capacity to climate variability. The climate –smart farmers have not only increased their yields but have also become champion farmers (examples) for the community to emulate.
