We shadowed our friends at the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance en route to a mission in Kandahar. The team deployed to Afghanistan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District and will be supporting engineering and infrastructure projects in Afghanistan for the next nine months. The men and women serving in the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance are rare. There are only eight teams like them in the world; each comprised of one officer-in-charge, one non-commissioned officer and six highly-skilled U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civilian technical experts. From design, construction management, contracting, geospatial support and more, the teams quickly produce relevant engineering products and services worldwide.
Republican Senators supporting legislation by U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill and Kirsten Gillibrand to curb sexual assaults on campuses today took center stage at an event to rally support for the bipartisan bill.
“We’ve taken huge steps forward over the past two years in crafting this bipartisan, commonsense plan—but students on campuses across this country can’t wait any longer for us to act on it,” said McCaskill, a former prosecutor of sex crimes. “This legislation reflects the input of countless survivors, universities, advocates, and law enforcement officials. We’ve got a smart policy solution that helps curb these crimes, increases responsiveness when crimes do occur, protects and empowers students, and creates an accountable system with real teeth. Even at a time when it’s hard to get much done around here, I’m confident these are solutions that my colleagues in the Senate can agree on, and I look forward to working with them to get this across the finish line. It’s time to get this bill passed.”
McCaskill and Gillibrand were joined by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. The Senators were also joined by advocates Andrea Pino and Annie Clark of End Rape on Campus.

Rally to Free Julian Assange and support the wikileaks website from government persecution arising from Cablegate - the progressive release of 250,000 US diplomatic cables, incombination with major newspapers. Protest gathered on the lawns of State Library in Melbourne at 5.30pm December 14. Julian Assange second bail hearing will soon be heard in a London Court.
The rally heard from Jacob Grech from Victorian Trades Hall, Adam Bandt, member for Melbourne and Assange's elected representative in Federal House of Representatives, a union official from the Media and Entertainment Alliance, Colin Jacobs from the Electronic Frontiers Australia, and Rob Stary, Julian's Australian lawyer.
With over a thousand people at the rally there was a call to march on the British Consulate in Collins Street.

The wooden center bar is actually being supported by a block of wood that I glued together with Elmers Carpenter Wood Glue. All these pieces were leftovers from the cutting of the slats. The guy at Home Depot wanted to toss them out but I insisted I keep them. After all, they sell by the plank, not by the length. So there was no additional cost. My original intention was to use them as testers for the stain and finish. In the end, they were a life saver since I had nothing else to support the center of the bed.

On Saturday 25 May, University College London (UCL) students called on the support of other students and supporters across London to rally outside their Gaza pro-ceasefire encampment after the announcement that a pro-Israel rally would take place outside their main gate that afternoon.
One of the most frequently heard chants by students on this and other days was
"Disclose, Divest,
We will not stop,
We will not rest."
Among the crowd there were many students from the neighbouring School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) where an encampment had already been established about two weeks earlier.
SOAS students earlier published a list of demands including, according to two metre high placard at their encampment -
1. Disclose - Full details of all university investments
2. Divest - from companies complicit in Israel's denial of Palestinian rights - [a list of specific companies followed which included Barclays Bank, Alphabet (Google/Alphabet) and Microsoft.]
3. Terminate - the university's banking and lending arrangement with Barclays
4. Boycott - Israeli academic institutions which are complicit in the violation of Palestinian human rights, including the University of Haifa
5. Commit - to supporting Palestinian education and the rebuilding of Gaza's Schools and Hospitals. Establish partnerships and exchanges with Palestinian institutions and academics. Increase scholarships for Palestinian students. Advocate for removal of restrictions for pro-Palestinian expression.
6. Guarantee - the right of students and staff to express solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation including in research, speech and actions.
7. Advocate - for the UK government to implement an arms embargo on Israel, to call for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire.
As of the date of posting (4 June 2024) at least 36,932 Palestinians have been killed since 7 October, including more than 15,000 children. An estimated 10,000 are missing, of whom most are probably dead. An unknown number of additional deaths due to excess mortality from food shortages, disease and difficulties in obtaining essential medical care and medicines. More than 82,000 Palestinians have been injured, many of them with life-changing injuries including many amputations. According to the United Nations, as of 2 June, more than half of all residential buildings have been destroyed or damaged but with some key infrastructure the destruction is even more devastating - including 80% of commercial facilities and 86% of school buildings damaged or destroyed. Additionally some 83% of groundwater wells are no longer operational.

Colombia’s Amazonas shares its borders with Peru and Brazil, 2 of the countries with the world’s highest number of coronavirus cases.
People cross the triple border on a regular basis, either for medical needs or to buying and selling all kinds of goods. This has contributed to spread the virus, bringing the total number of cases in the border areas to 10,200.
Before the pandemic hit, tourists used to visit the Amazonas’ markets to purchase handcrafts. Tourism was an economic lifeline, but confinement measures brought it to a halt.

In recognition of their recent success and to support their promotion to the national league, Ganesh Velautham has donated new sports shoes to the under-15 netball team at Vada Hindu Girls College in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. At Kopay Maha Vidyalaya school, after having won gold and silver (respectively) within the Northern Province division, the under-15 boy and girls team are preparing for their admission into national league. The Shivan Foundation is providing healthy food, nutrition and milk for all players as well as a collection of league-standard volleyballs to facilitate their practice sessions. Like many local school teams, both groups are heavily underfunded and their members often come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
I chose to wear these appropriately colored Birkenstock sandals to show my support for Ukraine.
Please excuse the size and style mismatch (Blue 31 EU, Yellow 38 EU) they are the only ones I had in the correct colors.
The "Parks" at the corners of each floor provide seating areas for casual meetings, quiet conversations... and perhaps a video game or two when a break is needed.

The M981, known as the FIST-V was the first U.S. Army specialized vehicle for the Fire Support Team or Forward Observer in the U.S. Army. Introduced in 1978, the FIST-V used a M113 Armored Personnel Carrier chassis and was identical in appearance to the M901 Improved TOW Vehicle (ITV). This identical appearance helped make the fire support team less of a target on the battlefield. The ITV used the large "hammerhead" on top of the vehicle to launch TOW anti-tank missiles. The "hammerhead" on the FIST-V housed a ground / vehicle laser locator designator (G/VLLD) and a AN/TAS-4 night sight. This allowed the fire support team to locate and designate targets with the laser to be hit by precision guided artillery projectiles or aerial bombs. Inside, the M981 had seven radios and two digital message devices to communicate with the infantry or armor units it supported or the artillery fire direction center. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, units found that the M981 and other M113 series vehicles were unable to keep up with the Abrams tanks and Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles. The FIST-V was replaced by the Bradley FIST (BFIST) beginning in 2000.

The NELPG Support Crew are a very friendly set of chaps. After the Fort William dmu entered the Glenfinnan station passing loop K1 2-6-0 62005 had to pull forward to clear the other end of the loop. This meant the engine was off the platform end and no longer accessible to the passengers so the Support Crew offered to take photos of the train for anyone who wished to have one. Here Pete returns in the rain after one such photo-journey up front.

The OPCW observes the annual Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare on 30 November 2021.
Se il vostro flash ha un bordo largo, come il mio, potete realizzare facilmente il vostro supporto per gelatine.
Il flash che si vede qui è un Pentax AF400T, e le gelatine sono i campioni gentilmente offerti da Lee Filters - www.leefilters.com - nel loro blocco "designer edition".
La dimensione delle gelatine è 90 × 38 mm, abbastanza per coprire la maggior parte dei flash senza fuoriuscite di luce.
Qui ho usato del PVC bianco per avere foto più comprensibili, ma potete fare il vostro con plastica nera, per dargli un aspetto più "professionale".
Tagliate un rettangolo di plastica sottile, alto più di 38 mm e largo quanto la cornice del flash.
In questo pezzo ricavate una tacca, profonda almeno 4 mm, per dare sostegno alla gelatina, e 38 mm larga, la stessa dimensione della gelatina.
Se il vostro flash ha una forma strana, come il mio, potete limare un po' i margini esterni della plastica.
Tagliate un altro rettangolo di plastica, grande abbastanza da coprire la tacca.
Incollate insieme i due pezzi di plastica, quindi incollateli al flash.
Usate degli strettoi per tenere i pezzi di plastica attaccati al flash fino a quando la colla ha fatto presa.
Non dimenticate di aggiungere un pezzo di legno sul lato opposto del flash, per evitare graffi, e non premete troppo!
Sul lato opposto del flash attaccate due quadretti di plastica.
La distanza tra di essi deve essere 38 mm, la larghezza della gelatina.
Sopra questi pezzi attaccate un'altra striscia di plastica, che formi una sorta di ponte.
Quando la colla è asciutta, potete pulire il flash con una bomboletta di aria compressa.
Lo spessore della plastica vi permetterà di inserire più di una striscia di gelatina davanti al flash: qui c'è un "058 Lavender" con un "736 Twickenham Green" al di sopra.
Attenzione alle striscioline di carta che vi dicono quale gelatina state usando: se le perdete o le mescolate non saprete quale gelatina è davanti al flash!
AVVERTENZE:
- Non correte con le forbici.
- Gli oggetti nello specchio sono più vicini di quanto appaiano.
- Ogni modifica al vostro flash può invalidare la garanzia.
- Il flash è vostro, non mio. Io ne ho rotto uno dei miei cercando di modificarlo, quindi fate attenzione.
- Se avete le mani di pastafrolla fate doppiamente attenzione.
- Non mettete le dita su fili o contatti scoperti all'interno del flash, questo invaliderà la garanzia del vostro pacemaker (o del vostro cuore).

Summer is the time for rooting to the back of your closet and digging out those favorite sandals allowing your feet to breathe and your toes more freedom and air after the long months of winter.
Unfortunately with summer and sandals comes blisters, raw skin, and aching arches. Sandals are fun...
1/76 scale diecast models of Mercedes Sprinter, long wheelbase high roof vans, depicting Transport Scotland and the Trunk Roads Incident Support Service (TRISS) operated by BEAR.
I had wanted to depict TRISS in model form, but couldn’t find any decals/transfers. However a seller on eBay, whom I had bought from previously, is open to suggestions. Imagine my surprise to be told within 24 hours that the decal set was ready for sale. 3 days later and I was applying them. I also bought a set of Vinyl decals of Variable Message Signs, commonly seen at the side of motorways, but importantly - fitted to the roof of TRISS vehicles.
I have modelled one van with its Variable Message board fully extended. The second van is depicted mid way through extending the board.
If I can find cheap donor models of the Oxford Diecast BTP Camera van, I may add extendable CCTV poles to these models in future.

How can we use open data to develop services that support communities to buy cheaper energy, use it more efficiently or potentially make their own?
This challenge invited teams including businesses, startups, social enterprises, community groups, academics, students and special interest groups to collaborate and compete with each other to use open data to build services that support communities to either:
- Group buy their energy and save money;
- Undertake community based energy efficiency interventions;
- Start to generate their own energy.
