“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”

USAID’s Water and Conflict Toolkit for Programming, a document designed to help development practitioners gain a deeper understanding of the forces driving violence and instability related to water, was launched on February 24 at the Wilson Center. Written by USAID’s Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation, the Wilson Center, and Group W Inc., the toolkit provides guidance to development professionals not familiar with water and conflict dynamics, with the aim of developing more strategic and focused interventions.
To discuss how the toolkit resonates with their experiences were a bevy of water experts: Gidon Bromberg, 2008 TIME Magazine Environmental Hero and two-time recipient of the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship; Geoffrey Dabelko, Director of the Voinovich School's Environmental Studies Program at Ohio University and Senior Advisor to ECSP; Chris Kosnik, director of USAID’s Office of Water and a long-time development practitioner; Sandra Ruckstuhl, co-author of the toolkit and development and conflict expert; and Aaron Wolf, a renowned expert on transboundary water resources and political conflict and cooperation.

COMMON EFFORT is a unique project in wich the cooperation between civilian and military organisations is taken to a higher level. The German and Dutch Ministries of Foreign Affairs, 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps and the German Bundespolizei are just a few of the participants that are pioneers in long-term coordinating of their activities and mutual understanding by using a fictional scenario.
My understanding is that there is a large development under way and it will include what is to be known as Tully Park centered on the ruins of Tully Church and Graveyard. According to the developers Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park. Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections. Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone that includes a large play area for children, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
On the 1st November 2018, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Plan International Rwanda. The MOU aims to advance children's rights and equality for girls.
Through this partnership, we will jointly implement activities related to promoting, safeguarding and protecting of young people, access to Early Childhood development (ECD) services, as well as quality education.

Understanding population dynamics is critical to avoiding static perceptions of human and environmental vulnerability. Changes that affect the size, distribution, and composition of human populations also affect both the nature of vulnerability and adjustments in natural or human systems in response to environmental change.
‘The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change,’ a new edited volume from the United Nations Population Fund, International Institute for Environment and Development, and El Colegio de Mexico explores these themes. Three of the book’s contributors share perspectives on the importance of population dynamics for adaptation, ways to use available population and census data in assessing vulnerability and resilience, and the application of these approaches for urban vulnerability and adaptation in Malawi and Indonesia.

Venardos Circus 20191012 Asheville NC Asheville Outlet Mall
My wife and I made plans for one year to make sure we could take a vacation planned around The Venardos Circus in Asheville, NC. We planned to stay for ten days! The first day of prep two days before take-off, our slide out on our RV broke. This was our third of three slide outs to break in some manor to hinder our plans. Fortunately, I found the Mobile RV Doctor Gary Castor. $611.00 later and an entire day of wrenching we were ready and determined to catch the sold-out show. We thought we might catch a hotel. But booking a Hotel in Asheville during leaf blowing season is a $300.00 per night adventure for a room. I was thinking the entire time having flashbacks of 30 years on the road as an entertainer, thinking, imagine my problem times 20 other entertainers! These entertainers had deadlines to meet and have to make the show come hell or broken slide outs! On our way, we blocked traffic for a while as Asheville makes these skinny turns to the interstate too small for trucks or large RV’s. I narrowly missed a median sign and but for the kindness of a stranger might still be there trying to avoid scratches on my fifth wheel.
In my thirty years on the road as a professional Frisbee Flying Disc player I ran into the best and worst acts on the road in many different venues. I learned first-hand how hard it is to market and sell an act. I had learned the hard way from town to town and had an understanding at the marvel I was about to witness.
I pulled into the Venardos Circus on the last leg of their US tour in the middle of their two-week showing in Asheville. I was awed by the neatness, cleanliness and visual appeal of the set up. They kept their lot squeaky clean. I was amazed by the signage, the generators, the vendor trucks and the way the entertainers all had many different hats to wear.
Every single entertainer was seasoned often many generations of life-long Circus and stage performers. This was a rare treat for any town. Every single entertainer came from larger shows that swap talent. They swab the decks and wash the floors. The owner of the Circus takes the garbage out at the end of each show. Behind the glitz and glamour of being famous in their own specialty arts, they each swabbed the stage, set up the tents, sold the concessions, worked the ticket booths and worked this show 24/7! You could tell it. Each act could carry an audience on their own for hours at a time. However, Venardos produced a show that was nothing short of a Broadway or Vegas show with incredible timing and professionalism! There is no wonder that he is booked for FORTY-FIVE MORE dates all over the United States for the 2020 season. They had to easily work 16 hour days full blast all day!
His hospitality was amazing. He extended an invitation for me to live with his team for the rest of his duration in Asheville. I had to think of the love I have for my wife and had to leave because of her schedule. I did not want to leave!
I understand Kevin is looking for a good sound and light person! His last stop is at my favorite town in St Augustine, Florida to kick off his 45 town 2020 season! He will be performing on the same stage as many of the most popular musicians of all times have performed at The St Augustine Amphitheatre! When I lived in St Augustine, I could barely feed myself and my favorite ex-girlfriend! Kevin has twenty teams to feed and their families!
Circus families are the greatest entertainers and athletes of our time. You have to see it to believe it!
Venardos’ fans, Facebook cuts a 30mb photo to 80kb or less. Please use the flickR photos for download for reproduction.
I will create a ten-minute video or two and include a download link for desktop or phone for as long as Vimeo doesn’t violate me for the music. It was an awesome show! Stay Circus Strong!

Datas - my understanding is that this character does not make it into the Megaforce series.
For those who only deal with Power Ranger continunity, I would call this guy the Alpha-5 of the series, complete with any annoying equivalentto "Ai-yai-yai-yai-yai!".
A sentient robot that usually is disguised as an arcade game, he is modeled after some Japanese card game cabinet that cards from Goseiger and other toy lines could interact with.
Fortunately, Datas is a bit more helpful than Alpha ever was. Other than helping out with the computation side of things, Datas can fight, though is somewhat limited in ability when small. By combining with the Hyper Changer Header, Datas changes into Datas Hyper, which gives him a wider selection of battle options - think Ninjor after he gets mad and morphs into his battle mode.
