Imagine a law that encourages the Federal government to partner with local businesses? A law that would create a partnership to do things such as restoring our forests, improving fish and wildlife habitat, removing noxious weeds, and creating healthy rivers. On top of these benefits to the environment, this law also improves the economies of rural communities. Sound too good to be true? Think again.
With the adoption of stewardship contracting authority (public law 108-7) in 2003, BLM has been able to offset forest product values against service costs, select “best value” contracts and award 10-year agreements with communities. Stewardship contracts may be used to improve, maintain or restore forests, rangelands, water quality and habitat. They can also be used to reduce hazardous fuels that pose risks. Since its inception, BLM has issued over 170 awards, covering over 51,000 acres.
Simply said, these contracts are a legal agreement to be “stewards” on Federally-managed lands. In real life this translates to a variety of projects from removing encroaching juniper trees and grinding them up to be used in a variety of ways, to restore native grasslands by cutting small confiers and selling them as Christmas trees, to thinning stands to increase forest health.
In the Lakeview District, stewardship contracting has allowed for maximum biomass utilization of forest and woodland products. Trees cut from the projects have been used for fuelwood, “hogfuel” chips burned to make renewable electricity, clean chips that are ground up and used to make hardboard and an array of juniper products like post and poles. Thousands of tons of BLM-sourced juniper has supplied the local Juniper Mill at REACH in Klamath Falls thanks to the Gerber Stewardship Contract. This contract has allowed for over 6,000 acres of forests and woodlands to be restored through treatments under this project. This unique mill is a non-profit organization that specializes creative utilization of juniper, finding uses for nearly all parts of the tree. On top of that, the REACH mill is an active participant in vocational-rehabilitation programs that focus on employing individuals with disabilities.
Thanks to the Gerber Stewardship, juniper byproducts that would have been previously burned can be used to foster community partnerships and stimulate the local economy.
The Medford District is also creatively implementing stewardship contracts to restore and maintain healthy ecosystems. Last year, the district awarded the Landing Pile Biomass Utilization Contract, an interagency contract in support of the Southwest Oregon Interagency biomass strategy. This contract allows landing piles from the BLM’s Medford District to be used locally rather than being burned.
As a result, the contract reduces open burning, improves air quality,and also stimulates local woody biomass markets—a good deal for everyone involved.
Stewardship contracting provides the BLM with the authority to implement landscape scale treatments that meet local and community needs. These contracts can include such activities as hazardous fuels reduction, fish and wildlife habitat improvements, forest health treatments, removal of noxious weeds, and stream restoration, to name a few.
As a result, stewardship projects make our public lands more resilient to natural disturbances, like wildfires and climate change.
The process is a unique one for several reasons, some of which include: First, the process requires collaboration. The collaborative process fosters community partnerships and stimulates local economies; particularly those whose economies depend on resources from nearby federal lands – such as timber or forage.
Second, contracts solicited under the stewardship authority are awarded on “best value,” allowing the BLM to thoroughly evaluate contractors’ proposals, and award contracts based on factors other than price or revenue generation. Conversely, a timber sale contract is always awarded to the highest bidder. Stewardship contracting allows BLM and communities to define other contracting attributes they also value.
And third, the stewardship authority allows BLM to exchange goods for services within a single contract. This means that BLM can essentially “trade” the cost of services received for the value of the treatment’s byproduct. All of these factors help increase efficiencies, which is good business for both the BLM and the contractors.

Okay....so this is a very simple candid to be in a wedding set. But I somehow like it for the very same reason!
Meet the twins Amber & Neha, cousins of the bride (and obviously, also of my wife). Until this time, people used to recognize them with the mole on Amber's nose. But from this photograph onwards, they will also be recognizable by their different ways of smiling!
:-)
I caught them on the way here, when they were hurrying to see the bridal make-up.

(See links). During the boom of Route 66 in the 1900s, Two Guns was a popular trading post but it's been abandoned since 1971. In 1926, a man shot and killed the owner of the land over a contract dispute, and a later attempt to rejuvenate the area was destroyed by a fire. Today, Two Guns, which is easily accessible from an interstate, has nothing but a series of empty buildings — and a lot of spooky history.
Apache Death Cave is a historical landmark located in Two Guns, Arizona. It's on Old Route 66, at the Two Guns interchange, between Flagstaff and Winslow, Arizona. The battles between the Navajos and the Apaches were constant. The group of Apache warriors hid in a cave located in Two Guns. In 1878, they attacked a Navajo camp and murdered everyone with the exception of three Navajo girls who were taken as prisoners. The Apaches not only murdered the Navajos, whom they raided, they also looted the area. The Navajos from another camp sent warriors after the Apaches, however they failed in their quest to find them. When the Apaches attacked another Navajo camp, the Navajo warriors went to Canyon Diablo and saw hot air coming out of the ground.
After taking a closer look, the Navajos discovered that there was a cave and that the raiding Apaches were hiding in it with their horses. The Navajos began to throw burning dry wood into the cave. The Apaches then slit the throats of their horses in an attempt to put out the fire after they ran out of water. When the Navajos found out from an Apache who came out of the cave, that the three Navajo girls were murdered, they threw him into the fire and murdered 42 Apaches in the cave. The cave became known as the "Apache Death Cave". Altogether forty-two Apaches lost their lives in the cave.

Apache Death Cave is located on the side of a canyon with an abandoned gas station. The abandoned gas station also used to operate a zoo full of desert animals. Many of the ruins around the gas station are parts of the zoo. It's also rumored they used to sell artifacts from the Apache Death Cave at the gift shop.

Defense Contract Management Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District volunteers honor local Holocaust victims by cleaning individual memorials and attending the installation of a new Stolperstein or "stumble stone" for Dr. Stein May 2, 2012 in Wiesbaden, Germany. The stumbling stones, shiny brass plaques, are placed in the sidewalk throughout Wiesbaden and across Europe to memorialize the millions of Jews, gays, resistance fighters and Gypsies who perished between 1933 and 1945. The stones are installed in front of homes of the victims, giving back a small piece of their identity. There are 468 stumbling stones in Wiesbaden and more than 25,000 worldwide. Today, DCMA and USACE volunteers witnessed the installation of Dr. Albert Stein’s stone in front of the building where he lived with his family at 8 Alexander Street in Wiesbaden. Dr. Stein, like every victim, has a story. He was an orthopedic surgeon here, married Elsa Winter, a protestant and was the father of four daughters. Dr. Stein, living in a so called mixed marriage, Jewish-Protestant, was not deported in the initial 1942 push. In March 1943, he was arrested by the Gestapo and later deported to Auschwitz where he was murdered. The stumbling stone artist, Gunter Demning said, “every personal stone is also meant as a symbol for the entirety of all victims.” (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by Jennifer Aldridge)

Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio Glider Model CG-4A
Build in the Laister-Kauffman Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri (310ex)
Sub Contractor : AMP
S/N : 88
DWG No : 28084
Contract no : AC 5911
Designed by the Waco Aircraft Company, flight testing began in May 1942, and eventually more than 13,900 CG-4As were delivered.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_CG-4#Surviving_aircraft
"On demande of the former mayor of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, the US army went looking for years trying to locate a glider, as to have it on display in the furture musem. This research was difficult because many of the gliders made of metal and wood and canvas had been destroyed during the war.
In the early 60’s the US Army found the remains of a glider in really bad shape it was a WACO CG4A dating from 1943. The remains are confined to the workshops of Salis de la Ferté Alais in the Paris suburbs. Completely restored the glider with a 25,50 meter wing span and 14,80m long joins the collection of the museum, it’s the only life-size one of a kind sample that can still be seen today in France.
The gliders used for the first time in large-scale combat, are important at this time as they are the only way to bring in the much-needed equipment, including ammunition, food, jeeps and side arms (small hand guns). They also supply reinforcements in the form of extra troops. More than 4,000 men are sent into the heart of the battle using 512 gliders on D-Day and D+1. They contributed, through their bravery, to the success of paratroopers"

" Le planeur Américain Waco CG-4 fut le planeur militaire le plus utilisé lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les essais en vol commencèrent en mai 1942. Par la suite, environ de 13 900 CG-4A furent construits. Le modèle définitif retenu par l’armée fut celui du constructeur aéronautique société Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio, d’où les initiales WACO.
Les besoins de l’armée etant importants, ce sera au total 16 Usines dans tous les état Unis qui construira en plus ou moins grande quantité ce planeur les couts variaient suivant le fabricant entre 14000 à plus de 1million de dollars.
Le CG-4 était construit en tubulure de métal et bois contre plaqué recouvert de toile. L’équipage se composait d’un pilote et d’un copilote. Il pouvait transporter 12 ou 13 soldats équipés ou une Jeep ou encore un canon aéroporté de 75 mm. Pour le remorquage ce fut l’avion de transport Dakota C47 qui fut le plus utilisé.
Les CG-4A opérèrent en juillet 1943 durant l’invasion de la Sicile (Opération Ladbroke). Ils participèrent aussi aux missions Albany et Boston lors du débarquement Allié en Normandie (Opération Neptune) le 6 juin 1944 en soutiens et en renfort des parachutistes des 82e et 101e divisions.
Après le débarquement de Normandie, ce sera donc en Provence que ces « Ailes silencieuses » vont atterrir le 15 aout 1944 sur 2 zones bien définies. La Zone A : Entre Trans en Provence , Les Arcs et La Motte. Et la Zone 0 : entre la Motte, Le Mitan et La nationale 7. Au Total environ 390 planeurs seront utilisés lors de la bataille de Provence permettant d’apporter du matériel lourd aux parachutistes largués à l’aube sur ces Zones et prés de 3000 hommes."

Amara glances at the black business card then at the door. “This is it.” She casually rings the door bell then knocks. “Mr. Mendle, it’s Dr. Dubois from Ashagi. I’d like to discuss the contract if you have time?”
Hector Mendle hears the bell and is grabbing a shirt to put on when the knock and voice come. He opens the door, his shirt opened. "Of course." he lets her come in. "Forgive my state of dress. I often relax as it gets later in the evening." if she looks down she will also notice that he is barefoot.
Amara chuckles, letting herself stroll in casually. “Please don’t mind me. I understand how late it is, but you weren’t at the docks according to Barry." She seemed to smile approvingly of the open shirt and informal dress, her sly grim complimented only by the gentle whisking of her tails. “I wanted to go over the pricing and minor details of your contract with us.”
Hector Mendle nods and leads her into his office. Instead of sitting behind the massive antique desk that could only belong to the boss, he sits in one of the chairs in front of it. It's almost midnight. Formality went out the window hours ago. "Of course. What were you wanting to talk about? Can I get you some coffee, tea? Hell, dinner? Bertha, my secretary keeps the fridge stocked." he chuckles. "She seems to think I live here." he says dryly. But Bertha knows him .... and that is why the fridge is stocked.
Amara waved off the polite offer, following him to the next available chair. “Thank you, but I’ve eaten enough for the day. I can understand the sentiment though; we have foldable couches and such in the lounge for employees taking the longer night shifts.” She carefully crossed her legs as she took out the datapad with the contract. “Considering the location I can be blunt. Most of your work will seem legal in method, but I have more use for your more direct methods of dealing with trouble. How much will such services run?”
Hector Mendle chuckles and motions behind her at the futon couch. He avoids sleeping there all night. He has promises to keep and he keeps them religiously. Then he listens and nods, licking his lips slowly. Since you're asking, I will assume you delved some into my past." he assumes she has *and* has put two and two together where few bother to. But he likes that. "That doubles my fee, I'm afraid. The risks ...." he shrugs. "I do hope you understand. Much of that kind of work I prefer to do alone or with very carefully selected partners."
Hector Mendle adds, "Much of that is covered under 'expenses'"
Amara nods. “Yes, I understand hence why I’m asking for the proper figure.” She grinned after replying, scrolling down to the suggested section of the contract. “It’s not pleasant nor cheap work that I’m asking of you after all. However the more contacts we have, the better for us. It’s not like you don’t know enough about our branch’s work…” That last sentence was dropped with a mild distaste in the tone; Amara was still not pleased the former spouse had been talking.
Hector Mendle nods and sighs. "Not all of us can resist pillow talk, Doctor." he says, almost in Allura's defense. "I was not blameless int he relationship, although Ashagi was not my intended target when I married." he confesses. "And since I do know ... I suppose it wouldn't be the worse decision on Ashagi's part to keep this particular 'law dawg' on a leash, even if it isn't a short one." While he wants the job, he also suspects that keeping him in sight is also part of the plan.
Amara ’s grin widens. “I’m glad you understand, Mr. Mendle. We don’t typically consider this with the spouse or lover of every employee, but you are an exception given your occupation. The branch is responsible for more of Ashagi’s critical ground work; the wrong soul with enough knowledge can cripple that market niche in a second.” She was protecting patents in the end.
Hector Mendle nods. "I was a bit surprised at Allura's …loose lips." he shrugs, not feeling catty. He never had. "But I learned enough and researched a bit more. And frankly .... I'd want me on the payroll also." he means forward a bit. "That being said, I can also be an asset to the company even though I believe jeans are meant to be worn." he admits his scientific knowledge is nill. Or near it. He loves his research, she'll find out if it ever comes down to it. "You can use me to quieten people. Negotiate with them. I am subtle and not ..." he shrugs slightly. "Prone to emotional outbursts usually." he thinks of Lana and how easily she would be to set to explode.
Amara picked up the stylus attached to the pad and started to sign and initial where it was needed. “Good, good. It’s hard to find employees and contractors that don’t leak something to their lovers or close friends. We have to be very particular about our screenings, but that’s not always the case with the ASF.” She sighed at the reference to Lana. “You may need to work with the ASF and the captain from time to time however which is why I wanted things to be very clear.” She’d offer the sighed contract to him. “Here you are.”
Hector Mendle watches her sign and nods. "I am professional when I must be professional." he tells her. "I think you know I could have antagonized the good captain into attacking me, very possibly breaking or destroying many things in this morning’s shipment." he tells her and he believes he could. "I am a lawyer. That's actually part of my job. To find chinks and manipulate them."
Amara leaned forward, her right elbow resting on her folded knee. “And that’s what’s scary about you,” she mused. “Lana’s one whose buttons are easy to push, but it takes a specific hand to actually get her riled up…and an even more cunning hand to know when to avoid provocation.” She was suggesting more there than just Lana of course; pissing off Ashagi was something even the lawyer should be wise enough not to do.
Hector Mendle meets her eyes and smiles. "I pick my battle. Lana is an easy mark. Real sharks.... I am very careful with. I like my limbs exactly where they are...." he understands. Completely.
Amara smiled, showing off more of her fangs rather than the normal looking teeth in the front. “Good. Glad we are clear.” She started to stand up slowly, the chair creaking at the release of weight. “Well thank you for your time even if it was after hours.”
Hector Mendle stands with her and offers her his hand. If she takes it he will give it a more secure squeeze than normal and hold it. "Thank *you*, Doctor." he says with a sincere smile. His strength. Her teeth. It was exciting just to think about. "I always love precise negotiations" in other words .. it is a pleasure to be threatened by someone as lovely as she is. Hey…the boy is charming. Ya have to give him that much.
Amara barely noticed the grip, but given that this was her right cybernetic arm, he might notice the hand felt more artificial than natural. Her natural left hand came to rest on top of his, the warmth likely a reassurance that she was human. “I like to get to the more direct points of endeavors such as this one, Mr. Mendle. It’s one of the reasons I’m in the position I’m in.” Charms aside, she sounded proud yet mildly manipulative in her suggestion of her work ethics.
Hector Mendle smirks. The warmth of one hand and the unnatural feel of the other suggested cybernetics. Well, she did work at Ashagi. "I like direct." he tells her, looking her up and down, as if assessing her, which is exactly what he is doing. "You come to me correct, and I'll give you the same." his hand still holds hers if she will allow.
More commercialization has seen a rapid increase in the business. Contracts are an important part in a business since it structures the working of the business with parties at large. It becomes very important to take care of all the nuances of the contract and it is highly recommended to take the help of professionals for drafting. Read more: bit.ly/3bGTPND
