A large part of CIA’s role is to coordinate
a large number of events each year
promoting the professional development
of its membership. Each program is supported with a web resource.
This guy goes with me everywhere these days. Was giving him a rest while I took a few digital shots today. Currently loaded with Kodak Ektar 100.

Name of Program: Housing reconstruction program after Gorkha Earthquake
Location: Gosaikunda Rural Municipality-4, Rasuwa-Nepal
Building Typology: Load Bearing stone Dry Stone Masonry Building
He has received the first tranche of the government housing grant.The house is a dry stone structure with timber band and light CGI sheet flexible roof.
Dry stone masonry (DSM) walling is a heavily utilised building method within rural Nepal, however, they can
suffer a lack of stability and perform poorly during earthquakes if the walls are not suffi ciently tied together
and anchored to the roof and fl oor. When not connected, each wall vibrates on its own and the walls
perpendicular to the direction of the shaking experience out of plane forces and are at severe risk of collapse.
To prevent this, the building should vibrate as a complete box, with all building elements tied together.
Nepal suffered a massive loss of lives and property on Saturday 25 April 2015, when the devastating magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Nepal. Subsequent aftershocks, including one of magnitude 7.3 near the Chinese border on 12 May, produced additional losses of life and property.
The earthquake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest and in the Langtang valley. Villages were flattened and people were made homeless across 31 districts, with 14 districts suffering the highest impact. Infrastructure was damaged throughout the earthquake zone. Historic neighborhoods and heritage sites were destroyed in the Kathmandu Valley.
As a result of the earthquake, 8,790 people died and more than 22,300 people were injured. Assessments showed that at least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government buildings were destroyed. Another 256,697 private houses and 3,622 government buildings were partially damaged. In addition, 19,000 classrooms were destroyed and 11,000 damaged.
The earthquake affected manufacturing, production, and trade in agriculture as well as tourism and other areas of the service sector, thereby weakening the national economy. Economic growth fell in 2015 and has picked up slowly 2016. Once fully underway, reconstruction should contribute to economic growth in the coming years.
According to initial estimates arrived at during the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), NPR 669 billion would be required to reconstruct damaged properties and infrastructure and to support recovery in affected sectors of the economy.
The government was providing 300 hundred thousand grant for Private housing reconstruction & 100 hundred thousand grant for retrofitting of the private house damaged by earthquake

COMO PARTE DEL PROGRAMA "AHÓRRATE UNA LUZ", DICONSA DISTRIBUYE FOCOS AHORRADORES EN POBLACIONES DE HASTA 100 MIL HABITANTES
University of Pittsburgh Police Officers recently held a SAFE course for the ALPHA DELTA PI sorority.
So here's how it works:
> Turning the aperture ring raises the "Diaphragm Bar" behind the lens. At f/2.8 it's completely below the lens opening, and at f/22 it's just below the lens centerline.
> When the mirror rises, it drags this panel up with it; the odd shaped hole in the middle is the shutter opening. The mirror/shutter rises just as fast as its spring can whack it, and returns at the same speed as soon as it reaches the top.
> At f/2.8, the shutter is open for the entire distance of travel shown in green above - it takes about 1/60 second to cover this distance. But at f/22, with the DIaphragm Bar up where the purple line indicates, the shutter doesn't open until it reaches that line, and it closes as soon as it passes that line on the way down. The entire movement takes the same time as before, but the open time is only the time that it takes to travel the distance shown by the purple arrows. Assuming that the speed at f/2.8 was 1/60, this works out to about 1/500 second.
> The aperture at f/22 (and at all other settings except for f/2.8) is in the shape of a triangle with its point at the top - the top 2 sides are the edges of the "roof" part of the shutter opening, and the bottom side is provided by the Diaphragm bar.
It's actually just a little more complicated than this. In the above description, the f/22 opening is not centered on the same axis as the f/2.8 opening, and in fact if the Diaphragm Bar actually went as high as the purple line it would block off the center of the lens. So, in addition to all of the above, at the smaller apertures, the mirror/shutter is actually stopping its upward travel earlier than it does at full aperture. How does it do this? In the view of the Diaphragm Bar at www.flickr.com/photos/rick_oleson/53225547915/in/dateposted/, there is a second, gold colored bar that's coupled to the Diaphragm Bar, with a bent-up tab at its tip. As the Diaphragm Bar rises, this gold bar comes down - the tab at the end is the stop that the mirror strikes against to stop its upward travel. The two bars are coupled together so that the mirror's stopping position produces a centered triangular aperture opening at all settings. Dang.
Whoever did this will probably never be famous - but he was good.

Our Ascension Mk1 lifter failed to achieve orbit on its own so a second stage will be needed to push the payload into orbit, which will be achieved hopefully by the Viklun engine, seen here shortly after arriving in the VAB

Teaching program in La Serena Chile: William Zeller is our latest volunteer in Chile, he is doing a 4 week program at one of our primary schools. He also is taking Spanish Lessons (4 hours a day), great work William, for what our local coordinator has told us the students will miss you once the program is over.

The chair is a non-functional art piece which has been painstakingly covered in breakfast cereal with a large paper maché bowl as the centerpiece. We were directly inspired by the breakfast program initiative, the colour of the cereal, and the idea that all kids deserve a good start. The project was done as a group design project. We really loved working together – and eating the odd fruit loop! Do not consume!! This chair is covered with a water-based polyurethane.
During a Native American history-themed sleepover at the National Archives in Washington, DC, 101 kids and their grown-ups spent the night enjoying history-related activities, learning from special guests actor Martin Sensmeier, Jim Thorpe historians Bob Wheeler and Flo Ridlon, and Native American storyteller Perry Ground. After sleeping over night in the Rotunda, participants enjoyed a pancake breakfast made by the Archivist of the United States, David S. Ferriero, on October 14, 2018.
