U.S. Air Force basic training trainee Jose Vasquez-Vera goes through the Leadership Reaction Course June 9, 2020, at Joint Base San Antonio-Chapman Annex, Texas. Vasquez-Vera is part of the Air Force version of the Defense Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC) Army Echo Company program. In March 2020, the 37th Training Wing began a beta test for an Air Force version of the program which has been in existence since 1975. In partnership with Air Force Recruiting Service, this beta test is now in the execution phase. The goal is to show that an English language barrier is not a roadblock for eligible recruits interested in joining the United States Air Force. This is all credited to the unique language training capability DLIELC will provide them prior to the start of Basic Military Training (BMT) at JBSA-Lackland. Upon arrival, healthcare professionals monitored the trainees alongside their BMT counterparts during a 14-day restriction of movement (ROM) period used to prevent potential spread of the virus.

Durga puja (Bengali:দূর্গা পূজা,),‘Worship of Durga’), also referred to as Durgotsava.
Durga Puja festival marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the evil buffalo demon Mahishasura.Durga Puja is widely celebrated in the Indian states of Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Tripura and West Bengal.
Somewhere inside these complex edifices is a stage on which Durga reigns, standing on her lion mount, wielding ten weapons in her ten hands. This is the religious center of the festivities
The word pandal means a temporary structure, made of bamboo and cloth, which is used as a temporary temple for the purpose of the puja.
Creation of the idols
The entire process of creation of the idols (murti) from the collection of clay to the ornamentation is a holy process,
supervised by rites and other rituals.
On the Hindu date of Akshaya Tritiya when the Ratha Yatra is held,
clay for the idols is collected from the banks of a river, preferably the Ganges (Hooghly in Calcutta/Kolkata).
There is age-old custom of collecting a handful of soil (punya mati) from the nishiddho pallis of Calcutta,
literally ‘forbidden territories’, where sex workers live, and adding it to the clay mixture which goes into the making
of the Durga idol.After the required rites, the clay is transported from which the idols are fashioned.
An important event is 'Chakkhu Daan', literally donation of the eyes.
Starting with Devi Durga, the eyes of the idols are painted on Mahalaya or the first day of the Pujas.
Before painting on the eyes, the artisans fast for a day and eat only vegetarian food.
Goddess Durga Rides a Lion and vengeance to kill a demon residing in city of Mysore ,named after Mahishasur,
the very demon which was slain by the Goddess.The original Indian name was Mahishur. Along with these central statues, Idols are also made of other Gods and Goddesses.
As it also includes the worship of Shiva, who is Durga's consort (Durga is an aspect of Goddess Parvati),
in addition to Lakshmi, Saraswati with Ganesha and Kartikeya, who are considered to be Durga's children are crafted.
Worship of mother nature is also done, through nine types of plant (called "Kala Bou"),
including a plantain (banana) tree, which represent nine divine forms of Goddess Durga.

Basic pocket pants from Growing Up Sew Liberated. Blogged here. The fabric is Alexander Henry's Pocket Pixies.
Took some pics of my friend playing at the studio in Hartlepool a few months back. My first time trying some band photography.
Stage lighting was awkward, there was a nice blue light from behind then just a red light from the front upper, which was a killer so I added a bit of my own light.

======================
Oda a la Cerveza por Der-Mond
Eres amiga amarilla
de creciente espuma,
es paciencia tu cebada
de corta vida y alegría.
Triste es tu cantar
pero escuchas,
escuchas la risa, la tristeza
detrás de aquél vestido de cristal
aunque a veces te envuelves
entre el plástico cortés.
Es tu alma alimento
para la congoja de muchos,
es razón también
para alegrías bohemias
en tu manantial de burbujas.
Olvidas el todo,
tú, topacio derramada,
líquido transparente,
quemas la vida
en sutíles segundos
con el beso de tu boca,
fugaz calor
como el frío de tu lengua.
Mueves el mundo
con solo una ciega cita.
tomas las andanzas,
cosechas los mementos,
compartes los cimientos,
en la claridad del final
y queda siempre tu sabor,
a simple infinidad

The third stop on our West Coast road trip was in Portland, OR. We stayed at the Governor Hotel downtown. Nice place. We booked a Penthouse Suite and were quite happy with it. Spacious. Roomy. All the creature comforts one would expect being away from home. Certainly, it's not The Plaza or the Ritz, but still a very nice place to stay. I give it 4 stars.
The restaurant in the hotel is called Jake's. I'm not so sure I'd recommend it, though. Both the food and the service were lacking.
