Healthcare Without Harm’s Stacia Clinton (tan top), answers a question following her talk during the breakout session ‘Stories from health, economic development and foundation sectors,' of the Local Food Impacts Conference, Monday, April 3, 2017, at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington DC. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), in partnership with GWU hosts the Local Food Impacts Conference. Congressionally authorized grant and loan programs to support local food systems have expanded in recent years. Quantifying and evaluating the impacts of these programs is critical. Attendees can explore how to best measure the impacts of local food investments, improve coordination across USDA agencies, and evaluate the extent to which disparate local food investments are complementary and reinforcing. Beyond metrics, this conference provides an opportunity to share local food stories with new stakeholders. For more information, please see localfoodsimpact.org/. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (The Stargate Mix)
Depeche Mode are an English electronic band that formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals, main songwriter since 1982), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards, bass guitar). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar, main songwriter from 1980 to 1981), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. Depeche Mode have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left.

Monument classified as World Heritage by UNESCO
Built in the XIV/XV century to commemorate the victory of the 6.000 men of the Portuguese army, against the 32.000 Spanish soldiers in one of their many invasion attempts, the Monastery of Batalha is the most glorious example of the Gothic architecture in Portugal.
The story tells that in the 1383-1385 crisis, when the Spanish army with their king was marching to Lisbon to claim the throne they encountered a small Portuguese army. Laughing of such small force they've decided to pass around because they didn't want to be delayed in their conquest. The Portuguese seeing that the only chance to keep the independence was to fight and win, started to insult the Spanish calling them cowards. It had its result as the Spanish decided to turn back to teach the Portuguese a lesson...
Right from the start the battle was a catastrophe to the Spanish. When their cavalry charged, the knights started to fall into the many traps built in the battle camp. Those who escaped reached the Portuguese army in a disordered formation and tried to pull back. But while some were trying to get back, large numbers of Spanish knights not understanding what was happening continued to charge and push all in their front against the Portuguese spears! More, the Portuguese army chose a very narrow space to fight and the long spears of the Spanish knights were not maneuverable, so they started to break them in half to make them shorter. The problem was that when the broken piece was thrown to the ground the horses tripped in them and fell...
Soon it became a catastrophe to the Spanish and their king was forced run to Spain barely escaping the Portuguese persecuting force. This victory kept Portugal safe for the next 200 years...

On June 1, 2015, the Information Resource Center of the U.S. Embassy welcomed a group of 20 university students for the monthly English Club.
English Language Fellow Andrea Echelberger led the group through activities on "Improving Converstion in English". The participants learned how to paraphrase and use WH question words to continue conversations. This activity built confidence in these young participants to engage in dynamic discussion in English.
English Club meets once a month at the Information Resource Center. It is an opportunity for students and others to develop their English skills.

Taken last year and stupidly overlooked on my part. A cold night gave way to a bright morning. It was a relief to feel the Sun's warmth. I particularly liked how this cloud arched above Ingleborough like some huge question mark.
Hearing of Michel Barnier, designate Commissioner for Internal Market and Services (Brussels, 13 January 2009).
Before the new European Commission can take office the proposed new Commissioners must pass often tough Question and Answer sessions in front of Members of the European Parliament. Each committee questions the person who will be responsible for that dossier on issues ranging from their CV to political views. The last time this happened not all candidates passed muster as MEPs must sign off on them before they can take office.

Question Time: Electing the Next Director-General of the World Health Organization, 3 November 2016, Chatham House, London, cht.hm/2fK7wi2
There should be a giant question mark on my face at all times because I just don't know.
I feel like I'm in this weird transitional part of my life.
My mind is just racing with what ifs lately. Should I do this? What if I do that? Do I want to do that? How about this? Or why not? It's draining, very draining. I get ahead of myself, and start thinking about a year from now, trying to plan, and I can't.
I'm like this floating blob of a human.
Plus I feel like I'm a 22 year old (okay, in a week & a half) living a 17 year old's life. What I do now is pretty much no different than what I did when I was 17. Well, except pay bills & work constantly. I still live with my parents, I'm still in school. I'm not sure where I think I should be, just somewhere else. My best friend's going to be graduating from grad school around this time next year.
The only big NEXT STEP there is, besides getting my degree, is moving out.

"Questo saggio distingue tre fasi nelle ricerche degli ultimi decenni sull’architettura romana. Se nel dopoguerra l’architettura era affrontata soprattutto come un’arte di cui occorreva analizzare la natura, negli anni Settanta si è verificato un cambiamento fondamentale nell’interpretazione dei monumenti: l’architettura è stata sempre più percepita come il prodotto di uno specifico contesto socio-politico. Al giorno d’oggi, l’attenzione si sposta maggiormente sull’individuo in seno alla società romana e sul suo modo di reagire al proprio ambiente.
La necessaria valutazione dell’architettura nel suo contesto topografico, come pure il ricorso a fonti complementari per una ricostruzione il più possibile esatta degli spazi di rappresentazione e di azione nell’Antichità, costituiscono al momento presente un compito essenziale per la ricerca scientifica. Le prospettive aperte sono evocate a conclusione dell’articolo."

A very long, and unproductive day.
I guess I have a few questions for anyone willing to answer. Do any of you ever have days where you can't think of anything at all to create? Most of my days are that way, and I end up needing to look at other people's work for inspiration instead of dreaming things up on my own( I do not mean copy other's work, by the way). How much of your work is "inspired" vs "dreamed up"? Is your mind a plethora of ideas, or a wasteland with the occasional sprout attempting to take root in barren soil?
Sometimes I worry I'm left brained instead of right (not that there's anything wrong with that), due to my lack of ability to create "good enough" original ideas. It makes me question if I should even be pursuing photography.
Gosh, every bit of this is horribly articulated. Maybe some of it maketh sense?
Can you spot the elusive Backwards Champagne Falls Question Mark?(or B.C.F.Q.M. for short). I didn't even notice it until Ceebs pointed it out.
I'm thinking this is the best photo I took this weekend.
After we each both slipped into the water once, we kinda had a 'duck it' attitude and just waded up towards the falls in the water(the four+ miles back did a number on our feet!)
We sat here underneath an overhang for a little while waiting for the clouds to give us a break from the harsh sunlight. We only had a couple clouds, so I feel fortunate to have gotten this off.
The blisters, pruned feet, and constant lens cleaning were totally worth it.
I always expose as far to the right(highlights) as possible. It came back to haunt me as some of the highlights were unrecoverable.

The importance of asking questions has occupied the human mind since time immemorial. Posing questions to friends, figures of authority – even oneself – can lead not only to information, but also enlightenment. Such has been the approach of singer/songwriter Dolores O’Riordan. First bursting upon the music scene as lead singer of The Cranberries (whose debut album was snappily titled Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?), O’Riordan has been following a solo path since 2003. Her first solo disc, Are You Listening?, came out in 2007; now she presents her Cooking Vinyl Records follow-up, the slyly-titled No Baggage.
“I probably haven’t worn my heart on my sleeve like this since the second Cranberries album [1994’s No Need to Argue],” she says. “It’s at times very confessional and dealing with my true emotions. Everyone, through their experiences or their background, has had terrible moments where they think they can’t handle it. With this record I’m trying to show that, no matter how bad things may seem, it’s not really that bad in the big picture.”
Looking forward and backwards – sometimes simultaneously – is one of the new work’s primary themes, as evidenced on such key tracks as the quasi-Beatlesque ‘Fly Through’ and its yearning for unambiguous solutions, the bittersweet nostalgia of the insinuatingly catchy ‘It’s You’, and the blunt, seemingly self-critical ‘Stupid’. “That one’s about how some people, maybe a lot of people, can feel when they find themselves in a difficult situation,” O’Riordan explains, “and how that can continue to affect them years later.” A similar approach permeates ‘Skeleton’, which takes its title not just from the physical structure at each person’s core but also from the all-too-common “skeletons in the closet” that we all have. Not for nothing does the song advise that, despite frequent wishes to the contrary, “You can’t outrun your skeleton”. “The way children, and many adults, have this fear of skeletons was something I wanted to explore,” O’Riordan says. “We all have one, physically and spiritually, and realizing that can make you a stronger person. Learning to accept your experiences, and see how they’ve made you the person you are, is something I feel very strongly about.”
Always a keen observer of human behavior in its many manifestations, O’Riordan says that lately she’s been taking a closer look at her place in life, securely in what she calls a “middle generation” between her parents and her children. “It’s been said before,” she muses, “but it’s incredible how quickly life evolves. Life really is a journey, and there’s no such thing as perfection, really. I’ve come to see how important it is to accept the challenges and uncertainties that come up, and to accept them as a part of life. I never lack for inspiration,” she adds, noting the ever-developing perspectives she shares with her various family members. “A lot of this material was written and inspired by what’s around me. I know I’m fortunate to still have my parents, and I didn’t want to be one of those people who’s always on the road or in the studio who suddenly realizes they should have spent more time with their children. Certain moments only last for so long,” she notes, “and it’s important to live within those moments.” Those moments nowadays are often spent with her husband Don Burton, their three children (aged 3 to 12), and a 17-year-old son from Burton’s previous relationship. Together they split time between Dublin and Ontario, Canada, where she takes solace and inspiration from a home “deep in the woods. There’s lots of wildlife around, and it’s about as far away from ‘society’ as you can get. It makes for a nice little escape.”
O’Riordan knows something about escape. Born in 1971 in Ballybricken, Limerick, Ireland, she answered an ad in the early 1990s placed by brothers Noel and Mike Hogan seeking a lead singer for what was then called The Cranberry Saw Us. Impressed by O’Riordan’s soaring vocal style and songwriting skill – she already had a rough version of “Linger” in hand – they soon offered her the gig. Led by “Linger”, debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It … eventually hit #1 in Britain. Follow-up No Need to Argue cemented the group’s popularity via such popular tracks as ‘Zombie’ ‘Ridiculous Thoughts’, and ‘Ode to My Family’ ultimately being certified 5x platinum in Europe (hitting # 1 in Germany, Austria, and Australia, and # 2 in the U.K.), and 7x platinum in the U.S. A massive tour followed, with stops in England, Europe, the U.S. and Mexico, and the band – in particular, O’Riordan – started regularly popping up on the covers of music magazines, from Rolling Stone and Pulse to Q, Vox, and Musikexpress. Sold-out shows in Japan and Australia soon followed. The heavier-sounding To the Faithful Departed (1996) – which also hit # 2 in the U.K. - was followed by 1999’s Bury the Hatchet and 2001’s Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, each amply illustrating an evolving maturity and confidence – but also increasingly hinting at a growing world-weariness on the part of its seemingly tireless lead singer. Accolades and opportunities continued to proliferate: In 1996 she appeared at Luciano Pavarotti’s annual “Pavarotti & Friends” charity concert in his hometown of Modena, Italy, performing ‘Ave Maria’ with the maestro and a version of ‘Linger’ with Duran Duran’s Simon LeBon.
After thirteen years, five albums, countless concerts (including some opening stints on the Rolling Stones’ Licks tour), and enormous international success with The Cranberries, in 2003 O’Riordan decided she’d had enough. “It had become too much of a compromise,” she says of stardom. “At the end of the day, I was very much feeling like a product. The weird thing about having success with a record is that everyone says, ‘Okay, now the next one has to be bigger and better!’ Eventually it becomes very much a ball-and-chain situation, and I got tired of it. I wanted to be free of that collar.” Living in the wilds of Ontario became a meditative experience, time which O’Riordan spent painting, volunteering at a local school, and generally “becoming human again. I needed to figure out that, if I wasn’t the singer of The Cranberries, then who am I?” Walking away from music for good, however, ultimately proved not to be an option. “I started writing just for the sake of writing,” she recalls, “and over time I realized I wanted to get back into the spotlight a bit. There was a sort of ‘Why do you want to do it all again?’ feeling, but by that time the world was a different place, and I was surprised to find that I’d been missed. There was a kind of respect there, waiting for me. Sometimes it’s good to go away for awhile,” she laughs. Indeed, even during her prolonged break she was invited by Pope Benedict XVI to appear at the Vatican’s annual Christmas concert in 2005, performing ‘Adeste Fideles’ with Italian singer Gianluca Terranova and a new version of ‘Linger’ – her only live performance of that year. Meanwhile, sessions for Are You Listening? went smoothly and a tour followed its release.
Falling back into bad habits was, however, never on the agenda. “There’s only so much wine you can drink on the road,” she declares, “so instead I took to writing songs to hold me together. You always feel guilty for being away from your family when you’re touring, but I was able to create this spiritual outlet. A lot of the songs came really fast.” O’Riordan co-produced No Baggage with Ontario-based Dan Brodbeck, resulting in a bright, clean sound that finds the singer’s still-astoundingly emotive voice front and center, be it on the gorgeously piano ballad ‘Lunatic’ or the forthright, anthemic rocker ‘Be Careful’. But there’s also room for sonic experimentation, most obviously on ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’, with its Indian-styled instrumentation and structure. It’s a song that O’Riordan is clearly proud of. “That song’s really about how there are two kinds of people: those who are believers and have faith, and those who scoff at such things,” she says. “It has a kind of mysterious sound to it, unpredictable; it doesn’t sound anything like normal.”
Some fans may also be surprised to hear that O’Riordan remains friends with her former bandmates, but, after all, The Cranberries never really split up; instead, they went on hiatus. In fact, in January, O’Riordan played a set at Dublin’s Trinity College with the brothers Hogan to commemorate her being made an Honorary Patron of Trinity’s Philosophical Society. “We sort of checked each other out at first, counting gray hairs and examining waistlines,” she laughs. “But when we started playing it was as if we’d never stopped; there were no nerves, nothing weird. It was completely natural, and it was nice to know that we still have that.” Small wonder, then, that the ever-inquisitive O’Riordan continues to view life – and her place in it – with stoic calm.
The question posed by No Baggage is, clearly, meant sardonically. “I hope listeners find some comfort and can relate to what they hear with this record,” she says. “The key is to realize that there’s always hope. Thinking that can make it so.”
A graduate student conference entitled "Space-time: Toward an Anthropology of Contemporaneity" brought together presenters from the University of Chicago and several other American and Chinese institutions (August 24-25, 2012).
The 'Mesdames de Mayhem' are a club of female mystery writers -- short stories, novels, and television scripts -- and are a lot of fun to know. John Thompson has become sort of a go-to resource for many of them for questions about firearms and weaponry; particularly as many of them have never fired a firearm and know little about them. This has led to a one-time 'Mystery Writers Shoot' to be hosted by the RCMI-PC on May 9th on Borden -- the day before our own scheduled shoot of May 10th.
The mystery writers will provide lunch (guaranteed not to have any us turn green and start frothing) and about 10 of them are expected.
John Thompson will be the RSO, but we need volunteers and their firearms for one-on-one coaching on the firing line at Borden. Some ammunition will be from club stocks and the Ladies will be paying to defray the price of ammunition.
The day begins at 0930 on Bay 5. Safety brief, get 'eyes and ears' matched to guests. We'll set up with the normal Figure 11s.
0945: Short talk and display of:
a) a muzzle-loading black powder firearm (assuming some member brings one)
b) a double-barrelled shotgun
b) a bolt-action rifle,
c) a lever-action rifle.
d) a pump-action shotgun.
e) a semi-automatic rifle.
f) a single-action revolver
g) a double-action revolver
h) a semi-automatic pistol.
-- Each demonstration will be short, and will allow the ladies to see how the firearm functions and is loaded. This will be under control of the RSO; once dry with the weapon pointed at the berm, then turn, and once live into a target.
10:30ish One on one shooting (editor's note:I think John means shooting on a one-on-one supervised basis... I hope that's what he means). Members will lay one or two of the weapons they bring with their ammunition on the firing line and let the ladies shoot under close supervision. We'll do our usual relays and keep each relay short (two mags) and then clear and patch targets and let the next relay come up.
We need a variety of historic and significant firearms for this -- especially if they are well known to the general public.
Bay 5 is licensed for the usual pistols plus rifles up to 5.56mm/0.223, so no big bad rifles but carbines, shotguns, and pistols are needed. If you want to bring something heavier to show, please do. We can show it, but we can't shoot it on Bay 5. The ladies tend to be 'mature' and very few have ever shot anything before, so be guided accordingly.
After lunch we'll do a novelty shoot for prizes for the ladies. Quite possibly we'll let them keep their illusions about our own eagle-eyed marksmanship, or maybe reserve one prize for RCMI-PC members.

"That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!

Could you also provide me with a few quotes by answering these questions:
What is your best memory of WSSU?
"My best memory was attending the Annual Biomedical Research Conference (ABRCMS) with the MARC U*Star and RISE NGIMS Program. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see friends I've made over the years from other institutions and the graduate school fair was extremely helpful in my decision for the next step. I also enjoyed volunteering at the organic garden down the street."
What do you love about WSSU?
"The faculty and administrators are VERY welcoming. They've provided meals for me, transportation to the airport, taken me to their church and even invited me in to their homes. They really look out for my well-being. I don't have any family nearby so its is wonderful to find so many people that are willing to make sure that I am okay. The same goes for students. WSSU truly fosters a familial environment."
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
"I expect to start my biomedical sciences PhD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. I currently have plans to pursue neuroscience however, I am open to whatever presents the most interest during my rotations.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
"As a member of WSSU's RISE program, it is expected that we have something lined up post graduation therefore, they are more than accommodating for such preparation. They funded me and several other senior for Kaplan GRE prep, they granted us half off vouchers (we'd only pay $100 instead of the $200), and they wrote AMAZING recommendation letters for each school that I applied. They also guided me in writing my personal statement. In addition to my program, my amazing mentor Dr. Kanu did they same. He also nominated me for several awards that I didn't even know existed, incorporated me into his international Chemist without Borders Sierra Leone Project and facilitated three publications. He would drill me every poster presentation and made sure I was able to explain everything in the simplest way possible (which is not easy) so that any and everyone could understand. Because of his mentoring, I won a poster award at ABRCMS and I also received an honorary second place award through MARC/RISE for Scholarship Day. Presentations are VERY important in graduate school because it is necessary to be able to relay your research. As a transfer student, I don't think I would have found that type of support and encouragement anywhere else.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
"I came to WSSU as a transfer student. I walked away from a full scholarship and WSSU offered to support me for the remainder of my degree (shout out to the admissions department!). It provided a healthy environment to continue my education, conduct research and continue to explore my musical interests."
