A USAID delegation led by Mr. Andrew Sisson Director of the USAID Global Development Lab, visited Islamabad Electric Supply Company’s (IESCO) Power Distribution Control Center (PDC) and Zero Point grid substation in Islamabad. He was briefed on USAID Power Distribution Program’s Load Data Improvement Project, which has been implemented countrywide in all DISCOs. The implementation of this project in IESCO, and its impact on its improved operational performance, was explained by the IESCO Chief Executive Officer. The implementation of this project – including installation of smart meters at all IESCO grid substations and the establishment of a new PDC – was made possible through the support of USAID. It has given IESCO a state-of-the-art monitoring and control system and enabled the DISCO to monitor its demand, supply and load shedding in real-time. This was previously done manually in a process that took hours to compile the information; by the time the last piece of information was received, the preceding data was already irrelevant. This project has helped IESCO and other DISCOs almost overcome unscheduled load shedding – a big relief for the DISCO as well as to their consumers. Among the project’s numerous other benefits, it has made the lives of DISCO staff easier.

Great Neck, NY - New York Army National Guard 1st Lieutenant, Alexandria Wiedenbaum assists in handing out Emergency Go Bags at a Citizen Preparedness Training held at the Great Neck Social Center in Great Neck (Long Island), NY on October 20th 2015.
The event is part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's continuing Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program, which gives citizens the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions.
Working with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) and local emergency management personnel, troops are conducting these training events across the state.
Since the program's launch in early February 2014, troops have held more than 500 events statewide, and taught over 44,000 citizens how to be better prepared for emergencies and disasters.
Emergency preparedness is part and parcel of the New York National Guard's mission and experience, according New York State Adjutant Maj. Gen. Patrick A. Murphy.
Participants received a training certificate, a wallet-sized "Z-Card" with emergency preparedness information, and a free Citizen Preparedness Starter Kit. The kit included a first-aid kit, face mask, pocket radio with batteries, food bars, emergency blanket and other key items to help citizens in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
The class also included information about what other supplies and items citizens should add to their kits. – Photos by CPT Mark H Getman- New York Guard
Students and faculty in UF Law’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program’s Spring Break Field Course explored the diverse marine and coastal ecoregion shared by South Florida and the Bahamian archipelago.
The purpose of the week-long course, led by Tom Ankersen, Florida Sea Grant's Legal Specialist, was to provide students a firm grounding in the law, policy and practice of coastal and marine sustainable development through field-based immersion, practitioner lectures, and reflective discussions.
The group traveled from the intensely developed waterfront of Biscayne Bay to the bustling government center of Nassau in the Bahamas, and then on to the quiet, rural family island of Andros, bounded by the great Bahama Bank and the Tongue of the Ocean. While there is a world of difference between the two neighbors separated by the Gulf Stream, they share a remarkably similar ecosystem facing many of the same threats, and common language of the common law.
This year’s Spring Break Field course furthers the UF Law Conservation Clinic’s South Florida Bahamas ecoregional initiative supported by Florida Sea Grant, and in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust.

On December 11 2019, Lorenzo Redaelli discussed his strategy for turning concepts into playable prototypes for the students of the Master of Arts in Game Design at IULM University. The event took place at Cascina Moncucco during GAME CONTEXTS, one of the Program’s core courses.
How can you design a successful video game without prior game design experience? Lorenzo Radaelli, an alumnus of the M.A. in Game Design at IULM, discusses his design philosophy through a detailed postmortem of Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star, a first-person interactive visual novel about an abusive relationship between two individuals, one of whom suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. A love/erotic story between a guy and a “shooting star” that follows players’ decisions, Milky Way Prince suggests that falling in love with somebody who suffers from BPD is like falling in love with a star. What did Lorenzo learn from this process? And what are the take away ideas for aspiring game designers? The journey from zero to game is full of challenges, failures, and surprises.
Lorenzo Redaelli received his M.A. in Game Design in October 2019 from IULM University. He also received a B.A. in Communication, Media, and Advertising in 2017 with a Thesis titled “Gojira vs. Godzilla; How Hollywood reinvented Japanese Kaiju movies" from the same school. Among his passions are Japanese culture, art, and interactive storytelling. He directed several animated shorts, shot an independent film, and produced two albums. In 2019, his final project, Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star, was accepted at several international festivals, including Game On: El arte en juego (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Game Happens (Genoa, Italy). Lorenzo lives and works in Milan.

Penn Theatre Arts Program
Spring 2016 Mainstage Production
April 7–10, 2016
@ Penn Museum
'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.

It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.
The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.
SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.
"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."
SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.
"She made a big difference," Pickard said.
Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.
The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.
The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.
Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.
"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."
Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.
"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.
The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.

Dayspring Program's mission statement reads:
To improve the quality of life for children and families focusing on those affected by substance abuse, homelessness and poverty.
One of the projects that Dayspring took on a little over a year ago, was the transformation of an abandoned city space filled with weeds, garbage and grime, and lovingly transform it into a space filled with beauty and bounty.
This garden now yields a bounty of vegetables and flowers that nourish both the body and the soul.

2. Where Am I from? New Jersey (Ethnicity: Egyptian/Turkish)
3. What is your best memory of WSSU? The best memory I had at WSSU was becoming one the best mid-distance runner that Coach Turner had coached. I knew I had to just believe in her program and it will get me to my destination. That destination currently held me to 3 school records, CIAA Champion ( XC, Indoor, and Outdoor), All-Region, and the best of all memories was becoming a 2016 NCAA DII Outdoor qualifier for the 800 meters. I was selected to compete at the highest collegiate level anyone can ever ask for. Can you believe I have accomplished so much within just three months under her training? Words until today can never be explained how much my coach really impacted my life. She made me realize that nothing was never impossible if I put my mind to it and work hard, because hard work and having faith was the one thing I had held on so tight. I never found anyone that realized the potential and talent I had until I had met her at WSSU. So for that, I thank the university for having her part of the school because she saved my career.
4. What do you love about WSSU? I love this school because not only does it challenge students mentally, but giving a chance to those who are willing to try and succeed. I really love the fact being a student-athlete our coaches and academic advisers are always on top of there game when it comes to grades. They are always looking out for us and to make sure we on the right track of graduating.
5. What do you plan on doing after you graduate? I plan to go after my dream and that is to run for my country " EGYPT" and to be part of the next Olympic Games 2020.
6. How has WSSU prepared you for the future? It has prepared me mentally because WSSU challenged me a lot. Whether it was in class or on the track, i was always challenged to see where my potential can take me; and for that I grew into a strong independent young wom
It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.
The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.
SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.
"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."
SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.
"She made a big difference," Pickard said.
Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.
The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.
The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.
Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.
"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."
Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.
"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.
The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.
