Global Citizenship Program (GCP) 67 | Pathways to Global Citizenship: Roots and Routes
City University of New York (CUNY), Salzburg, Austria (April 4 to 11, 2015)
__
Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:
Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;
Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;
Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and
Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.
Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.
Newly arrived. Fuggin' chrome lol! Steel's just fine to shoot. But chrome's so unpredictable. I should have shot it on black.
Did I mention I hate shooting chrome? ;)
The June 23 morning ceremony opened with theatre arts graduate Sofie Kane singing the national anthem followed by a traditional Musqueam greeting, greetings from the Langara College Board and Faculty, a heartfelt message of congratulations from President Paula Burns, a convocation address, and the presentation of our graduates from the General Education program and Continuing Studies.
Phoenix Program was an intelligence and counterinsurgency program designed to gather, analyze information and then “neutralize” (via capture, infiltration, torture, terrorism, and assassination) the infrastructure of the Viet Cong (National Liberation Front) in South Vietnam.
Phoenix was operated and executed under the direction of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) supported by U.S. Special Operation Forces, Special Forces Operatives from Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATIV), and South Vietnam’s security services.
Although the program came to an end in December 1972, specific components remained in effect until Saigon fell in 1975.
By 1972, Phoenix operatives had neutralized 81,740 suspected NLF operatives, informants, and supporters, of whom 26,000 and 41,000 were killed. William Colby, the head of CORDS from 1968-1972, claimed that Vietnamese Communists’ most challenging period of their entire struggle was from 1968 to 1972 when the Phoenix program was at work. #pru #sfg #specialforces #greenberet #cia #tigerstripes #vietnam #vietnamwar #provincialreconnaissanceunit #sog #macvsog #1stsfg

This picture was drawn by hand without a subject model save the owl from a picture of an owl found online. A pencil sketch was finished in ink and enlarged and duplicated at a printing company for coloring. It also served as a concert poster and advertisement of a company function.
I actually didn't start my diet and exercise until June 19th so this is roughly one month's progress.

Okay, our kid's summer program (similar to VBS...) "So you think you got skillz?"
Just a rough first idea... the range of kids targeted will be 5 - 12.
Looking for feedback, suggestions, etc...
thanks

SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM FIXED BASE GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION SIMULATOR
One of only three advanced space shuttle orbiter simulators used to train NASA astronauts.
The fixed-base Guidance and Navigation Simulator (GNS) represents one of only three simulators once used to train astronauts for the Space Shuttle Program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Along with the motion-base Shuttle Mission Simulator (SMS) and the Fixed-Base Simulator (FBS), these complex machines were used to create a series of various mission tasks ranging from full mission rehearsals down to recreating specific exercises such as atmosphere entry or launching satellites.
Predating the SMS and FBS, the GNS was built in the late 1970s and operational by 1982. Initially it was primarily used only to test and verify guidance and navigation software that would later be installed in the SMS, FBS, and orbiters. As such it originally did not have visual computer-generated windscreen displays and much of the interior was unfinished, though it did contain the same complex array of cockpit instrumentation, controls, and computer displays operated by five distinct general-purpose computers (GPC) present in actual orbiters.
Following the Challenger accident investigation, the Rogers Commission suggested that NASA invest in additional crew training simulators to provide increased and expanded training and to handle the higher frequency of missions. However, the cost of providing an additional SMS or FBS proved too expensive, so NASA elected to upgrade the GNS into a full fixed-base crew simulator that was essentially identical to the FBS.
The upgraded GNS flight deck was enhanced to provide a more realistic appearance and a full visual computer-generated imagery system for the six forward facing windscreens. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was a new science in the early 1980s and all the simulators used a first-generation CGI system, rudimentary by today's standards.
For 20 years the upgraded GNS was used interchangeably with the FBS and it is likely that every post-Challenger crew spent time in the GNS practicing launch, ascent, orbit, re-entry, and landing procedures.
With the end of the Space Shuttle Program, the GNS was retired in 2011. In late 2020 the GNS was used on the set of a science fiction movie due to be released in late 2021 [not sure why they’re being cryptic, its Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall]. The filmmakers modified the simulator's external appearance, making the GNS more closely resemble the outer surface of an actual orbiter, along with internal cabin modifications. Following movie shooting, the GNS flight deck was donated to the Pima Air & Space Museum in early 2021.
White Sands Missile Range Museum
Dogs proved better at locating fallen missile parts than man or instruments in the 1960s at White Sands Missile Range. Before firing, critical missile parts were sprayed with squalene, a shark liver oil almost odorless to humans but easily detected by dogs. After the missile's general landing area was located by radar, dogs and their handlers were driven out or dropped from helicopters at the site and the dogs began sniffing. Usually they located their quarry within an hour.
Dingo, a Weimaraner, and Count, a German Shorthair, were the famous Missile Dogs of White Sands, working with John and Cynthia Guzevich, owners of Joh-Cyn Kennels in Las Cruces.
Small missile parts needed to be recovered after firing in order to analyze reasons for success or failure. Before the Range Instrumentation Development Division began the dog program in 1961, ground-recovery crews spent countless hours searching the desert for a rocket part which had often buried itself in the sand upon impact.
For up to a year before firing, important components of a missile were sprayed with squalene, a shark-liver oil that the dogs could smell from hundreds of feet away. After a missile firing, radar pinpointed the general impact area and the dog team was sent out for recovery. Dingo and Count were trained to search out the scent object and to stay on course until it was tracked down, without being distracted by desert wildlife.
The Guzevich team worked with the dogs everyday in all types of weather: intense heat, snow or wind. Cynthia Guzevich created special terrycloth jackets for the dogs with pockets to hold ice cubes and cool the dogs during the summer
With a 96% recovery rate, the program was so successful that other military and scientific agencies requested their services. Dingo and Count recovered several test devices for the Atomic Energy Commission near Albuquerque and in Tonopah, Nevada.
The program was discontinued in 1965. There had been eight dogs in the program, but Dingo and Count were the first and the best of the Missile Dogs at White Sands Missile Range- one of the most interesting sidelights in missile development and testing done at the range.
I came home one day to find a Christmas package from a good friend sitting in my bedroom. Inside there were so many Sailormoon goodies. This is the program booklet from a SeraMyu. It included an autographed card!
