Service recalls 9/11 trauma, resolve, resilience that followed

CAMP RED CLOUD, SOUTH KOREA – The American people have demonstrated resilience and resolve in the years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a speaker at Camp Red Cloud said during a chapel service in remembrance of the traumatic events and their aftermath.
Titled “A Call to Remember!” the service began Sept. 11 at 11:30 on a sunny Tuesday and ended around noon before an audience of about 40.
In his remarks, the speaker, Lt. Col. Steven G. Finley, commander, U.S. Army Garrison Casey, first evoked the specter of those events in 2001 that have become seared in the national consciousness and are often compared to Japan’s attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.
“Eleven years ago, America confronted one of the darkest nights,” Finley said of the events that unfolded that morning in 2001, which saw not only the attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan, but also on the Pentagon, and that included the crash of United Airlines Flight 77 near Shanksville, Pa.
“Mighty towers crumbled,” he said. “Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on the Pennsylvania field.
“Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – they were taken from us with heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty.
“On September 12, the day after, the nation awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future,” Finley said.
“These past 11 years have shown that America does not give in to fear,” said Finley. “The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit – these patriots defined the very nature of courage…
“These past eleven years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens and the American way of life…” he said.
“Proof of our healing has been a story of total resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in common purpose daily. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and the families who lost loved ones there.
“New York remains a vibrant capital of the arts and industry, fashion and commerce.
“The trade center – where it once stood the sun now glistens off a new tower that reaches toward the sky.
“Our people still work in skyscrapers, our stadiums are filled with fans and our parks full of children playing.”
The audience also heard personal recollections from two other members of the Warrior Country community, Mark Hagelin, management analyst with the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud’s Plans, Analysis, and Integration Office, and Chaplain (Maj.) Andrew Lawrence, the 2nd Infantry Division’s deputy division chaplain.
Hagelin said his brother, an attorney who “worked around the corner” from the World Trade Center, was out on a case and miles away when the attacks occurred.
“Others weren’t quite so lucky,” he said, noting that among high school friends of his sister-in-law was a firefighter who died “fighting to save others” when the second tower of the World Trade Center collapsed.
“I refuse to hate,” said Hagelin. “Hate brings pain and intolerance.”
But, he said, “I will not forget,” and likened the Sept. 11 attacks to Pearl Harbor.
“The horrific vision and soundtrack of 9/11 are etched into my soul,” said Hagelin. “I will never forget.”
Lawrence, then a parish priest in Iowa, accompanied a group of Catholic parishioners on a pilgrimage to Rome, arriving there Sept. 11. They ended the day stunned by news of the attacks. They awoke next morning, Sept. 12, to find under their hotel room doors a letter signed by the mayor of Rome expressing condolences and goodwill to the city’s American visitors.
Later that day, during a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, an American woman on vacation from her job at the Pentagon approached Lawrence, asked if he was an American, and in the course of conversation said she’d been unable to reach her co-workers after news of the attacks. She feared some of them may have been killed, she said, and asked Lawrence to pray with her, which he did.
Toward the end of Tuesday’s service, during a ceremonial moment of silence, a firefighter from the Camp Red Cloud fire department, clad in his dark blue work uniform, his face expressionless, struck a brass memorial bell five times, paused, and struck another five times, at intervals, until the bell had sounded 20 times.
The computerized Gait scan along with a thorough bio-mechanical analysis of your feet by your Physiotherapist is the only appropriate method that allows for a precise prescription of your custom functional orthotics. A 3D imprint of your foot is taken by the pressure sensors in the gait platform which gives your orthotic not only the perfect shape needed but also the timing to make it a DYNAMIC (walking) supportive device.

The Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU presented their Post Gu assessment in early September 2014. The situation has further deteriorated, due to a combination of drought, surging food prices and armed conflict. Over 1 million people are now in crisis and face acute food insecurity, up by 20 percent from 857, 000 just six months ago. The number of acutely malnourished children is 218,000, of whom 43,800 are severely malnourished and at immediate risk of death.
Over three million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance. The indicators from 2010 and 2014 are very similar, and in some cases worse now.
Mogadishu Internally Displaced People (IDP) remain in emergency despite reasonable humanitarian access. The recent influx of newly displaced people into the overcrowded and under-served Afgoye Corridor (also known as K7-13) is one of the reasons. The additional 10M EUR that European Commission’s Humanitarian aid and Civil Protection department ((ECHO) has made available are being contracted quickly and non-governmental and United Nations partners are using the funds for scaling up their response. ©Abdullahi Abdisalan/ EU/ ECHO

Washington Square Park
Washington Square Arch
History
This text is part of Parks’ Historical Signs Project and can be found posted within the park.
Washington Square Park is named for George Washington (1732-1799), the commander of the Continental Army, who was inaugurated in New York City as the first President of the United States on April 30, 1789.
The land was once a marsh fed by Minetta Brook located near an Indian village known as Sapokanikan. In 1797 the City’s Common Council acquired the land for use as a "Potter's Field” and for public executions, giving rise to the legend of the "Hangman’s Elm" in the park's northwest corner.
Used first as the Washington Military Parade Ground in 1826, the site became a public park in 1827. Following this designation, prominent families, wanting to escape the disease and congestion of downtown Manhattan, moved into the area and built the distinguished Greek Revival mansions that still line the square’s north side. In 1838 the park hosted the first public demonstration of the telegraph by Samuel F.B. Morse.
Soon after the creation of the City’s Department of Public Parks in 1870, the square was redesigned and improved by M.A. Kellogg, Engineer-in-Chief, and I.A. Pilat, Chief Landscape Gardener. Their plan followed the principles of Fredrick Law Olmsted – providing a more rustic and informal space with curvilinear paths along its periphery, retaining many of the diagonal paths within the park’s core, and defining plots of grass with shade trees. The most dramatic change was the addition of a carriage drive through the park's interior connecting Fifth Avenue to Lower Manhattan.
The marble Washington Arch, designed by noted architect Stanford White, was built between 1890-1892 and replaced a wooden arch erected in 1889 to honor the centennial of the first president’s inauguration. Statues of Washington were later installed on Arch's north side – Washington as Commander-in-Chief, Accompanied by Fame and Valor (1916) by Hermon MacNeil, and Washington as President, Accompanied by Wisdom and Justice (1918) by Alexander Stirling Calder.
Other monuments in this park are John Quincy Adams Ward’s bust of steel innovator Alexander Lyman Holley (1890), Giovanni Turini’s statue of Italian-nationalist leader Giuseppe Garibaldi (1888), a World War I commemorative flagpole, and the central fountain which was moved from Fifth Avenue and 59th Street in the mid-1870s.
Washington Square Park was redefined socially and culturally throughout the 20th century. Following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, labor unions marched here. "Ashcan School" artists such as John Sloan painted in the park, and the bohemian community of the late 19th and early-20th centuries congregated here. The Beat generation of the 1940s and 50s and the "folkies" of the late 1950s and early 60s also made the park their sanctuary. During this period the park became a renowned haven for performers and protestors.
Through these social upheavals, Fifth Avenue ran through the Arch until 1964 when the park was redesigned and closed to traffic at the insistence of vigilant Greenwich Village residents. The late 1960s and early 1970s saw the lowering of the fountain and creation of a two-tiered central plaza which cemented its reputation as an ad hoc performance space. A new mounded area to the southwest became a cherished play space and chess and gaming tables at the south and northwest entryways created a vibrant culture with an international reputation.
In the 1990s both playgrounds were upgraded, petanque courts built at a "teen plaza" in the southeast park precinct, and a dog run was introduced. In 2003-04 the Washington Square Arch was restored. After an intensive analysis of the park's historical development and a process of community input unprecedented in scope the park was rebuilt in a three-phase renovation designed by landscape architect George Vellonakis. The first phase (2009) included a renovated and accessible fountain and plaza, conservation of the Alexander Holley Monument, additional seating, expanded lawns, and new planting beds that increased the park's green space.
The second phase (2012) provided a small dog run, a new chess plaza, a performance stage, renovated petanque courts, as well as enhanced landscaping, lighting and pathways, and the relocation and conservation of the statue of Garibaldi. The third and final phase, completed in 2014, features BKSK Architects' new LEED-certified park house and comfort station, whose subtle curvature, reclaimed wood, stone palette and low profile integrate with the lush surroundings. To the southwest, the asphalt mounds were replaced by a new mounded play area submerged in a meadow and made safer and more attractive with artificial turf.
Today Washington Square Park, rich in history, remains one of the jewels in the park system, serving as a dynamic commons for local residents, chess players, students, performers and tourists from around the globe.

This is an image of a derelict house with large street art graffiti on the front which is an elderly person with their head in their hands. In the foreground, there is the house itself with the graffiti image over the middle window. In the background, there are multiple tall skyscraper offices/flats that are completely identical. The focal point is definitely the house as it is dominating the image therefore catching your eye. I think the colours and tones of this image are intended to reflect the mood as they are very dull and lifeless.
As this is a digital, colour image and by looking at the new buildings in the background a relatively modern photograph, I would expect this image to have been taken on a digital/DSLR camera as it is well-focused. I definitely think the photographer used a tripod due to the angle of the image which is rather abstract and may have been difficult to shoot free hand. I think JR has used good depth of field in this image which again shows how the main focus is on the house in the foreground.
The atmosphere created in this photo is very mundane due to the dull colours and content of the image. I think the photographer had this intention to make me feel this way as I think the image has a negative meaning to make you feel uncomfortable or to make you think about the reality of the topic. The mood of this image definitely helps the photographer portray the meaning as it has many representations in the image eg. The derelict house to the skyscrapers.
I think the image is showing how society has become much more capitalized due to the vast amount of new skyscraper buildings that are being produced and sold at extortionate prices. This is portrayed through the angle of the camera showing the traditional but decrepit house with the modern building looming over it in the blurred background. I think the meaning of the graffiti is to highlight how elderly people that have experienced the previous generations are very ashamed of us as we as a whole, support the idea of capitalizing the world. I think JR definitely had these intentions as they wanted to address the sometimes ignored topic and show how our society has conformed to revolutionizing our way of living instead of actually stopping and enjoying life itself.
This image has been taken by JR who is a photographer and graffiti artist. JR's work combines art and action and deals with commitment, freedom, identity and limits. This image was taken around 2011 in France. I think my view on the meaning of this image definitely coincides with the photographer as JR is known for using photography to address social issues in the world at the time which for this image would be the capitalist movement. This image was presented at an exhibition in Paris along with other images from the ‘Inside Out’ series which I think helped convey the message as there were more images to push the meaning forward.
I am studying this image in my project for ‘Discovery and Transformation’ as it links with my theme idea of discovering locations and looking more in depth about what is around you and at how one cultured area can have a vast different to another place and culture in this case, London and France. This image has helped me create new ideas for my project as it has made me think about incorporating social issues in the place I’m shooting into my images to help convey a stronger message.
If work is proposed that might affect such materials, or if these materials are to be removed or otherwise handled, great care should be taken not to shatter or pulverize them.
Day one hundred seventy-four/365. I love academia. I feel fulfilled when I'm learning and I love to teach others.
But, I also realize that critical thinking has its limits. Sometimes, we run the danger of "paralysis by analysis."
I just read an article about the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Some amazingly gifted people are students there.
But, the school has a requirement that's a special challenge for some of their most intelligent students. They require their graduates to know how to swim.
The author said that about half of the students jump in the water and get the swimming requirement out of the way early in their college career. Another percentage procrastinate. Some are afraid of the water. And when trying to learn to swim, people who are so gifted at math and engineering sometimes ask questions. At what angle should their arms enter the water? How far does one need to turn the head to get a breath without getting water in one's mouth?
Life guards find it difficult to convince some students to get in the water and just try it.
What things do we people of non-MIT material tend to over-think? What decisions are committees handling that could be completed more quickly and effectively by people who are willing to jump in the water and just try?
Thesis Data Analysis is not just the act of analyzing data with the help of statistical tools and application of a few tests. It is the complete process, starting with data collection, to data cleaning and arrangement. It ends with the interpretation of the results of the tests and simplification of the same for presentation.

The SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) Centre, is a “third-generation” synchrotron light source in Allan, Jordan, near Amman. The synchrotron facility is the Middle East’s first major international research centre for science applications. It is set for inauguration on 16 May 2017.
The Centre will focus on fostering innovative scientific and technological research in subjects ranging from biology, archaeology and medical sciences through basic properties of materials science, physics, chemistry, and life sciences.
The IAEA provides significant support to the Sesame project in training and sharing expertise, as well as facilitating the networking of SESAME staff with other global research facilities, thus enabling possibilities for scientific exchanges.
