The 333rd Engineer Special Service Regiment served with the US 7th Army and was actively engaged in the Rhine-River crossing and joined in the pursuit of the retreating German Army as far as Leipzig. Several months after the war was over, most of the officers and men who had been original members of the unit were scheduled to return to the United States for discharge in October and November 1945. As a result of this impending loss of so many of its personnel, the regiment was reconstituted with lower point personnel taken from other combat battalions and a mass transfer of men was made in September 1945. The 7th Army was inactivated on 1 April 1946 and was succeeded by the 3rd Army, which moved from Bad Tölz to Heidelberg and took over 7th Army functions. The 333rd Regiment was given an area commission under 3rd Army including all engineer construction activity in Greater Hesse, with the exception of Air Corps installation and the Frankfurt and Wiesbaden enclaves. This mission involved construction of numerous military communities of ground forces installation in Greater Hesse.
The bumper of this Jeep identifies it as belonging to the 333rd Engineers with the 7th Army. However, the serviceman with 333rd lapel pins wears a 3rd Army shoulder patch indicating that the photo was taken after the transfer of the regiment from the 7th to the 3rd Army. The soldier also wears an Official US Army Photographer patch on his lower sleeve along with a Meritorious Unit Commendation Patch.

Spc. Jessica Fetsch, of Bismarck, N.D., and Spc. Calie Craddock, of West Fargo, N.D., Skype with a Girl Scout troop in Bismarck from their deployment in Kuwait. About 160 Soldiers with the North Dakota National Guard's 188th Engineer Company (Vertical), which specializes in construction trades, deployed to the country in August for a yearlong mission.
On the remote Island of Svalbard, Norway (about 1,300km from the North
Pole) the Global Seed Vault has been constructed to house more than 820,000
packets of crop seeds. This project is an international intiative to ensure the
survival of the worlds food supply and as such the vault has been designed to
withstand global catastrophies including wars, natural disasters and extinction
level events.
The seed bank is 120 metres inside a sandstone mountain and has been
refigerated to a temperature of -18 °C. The projects major goal was to ensure
the survival of these vastly important seeds and as such the Svalbard Global
Seed Vault has been constructed to last for over 1,000 years.
The projects engineers determined that a high performance, non corrosive
product was required in the shotcretes reinforcement. EPC’s BarChip was able
to meet these requirements. With industry leading performance and durabilty
the engineers were confident in BarChip to survive the 1,000 year lifespan of
this project.
An identified issue in the environment was the potential for melting ice which
could create a corrosive environment. BarChip is non corrosive and does not
rust meaning melting ice would not prove harmful to BarChip, unlike steel
alternatives, which may rust. Furthermore, testing has shown that BarChip
products retain 99% of their toughness after 1 years exposure.
Along with industry leading durability, BarChip was also chosen for its low cost
per joule, low carbon footprint, high performance, safe and light to handle
nature and ability to minimise construction time.

A locomotive control stand. However, modern-day locomotives use what are called
desktop controls, located on a desktop in front of the engineer. I have always liked
the looks of this arrangement and don't care for the appearance of the desktop (just
old-fashioned, I guess).

An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District hosted a workshop in Covington, Ga., to educate consultants about the Corps' process for wetland delineations. The Corps' Regulatory Division requires wetland delineations for potential applicants requesting a stream or wetland permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Corps uses three characteristics when making wetland determinations: vegetation, soil, and hydrology. The Nov. 3 workshop aimed to increase efficiency in the application process.

Jake Behrens is an evangelist and engineer at Apple. Jon Parrott is works is a developer programs engineer at Google. David Demaree is a product manager for Typekit Adobe.
They all work in the the tech industry, and what also unites these three is their unconventional path to their current jobs. None of them have formal training in coding or computer science: Behrens holds a bachelor’s of arts in journalism and advertising; Parrott says he barely graduated high school; and Demaree shares that he went to art school.
The three are among hundreds who took to Twitter this weekend using the hashtag #UnqualifiedForTech, showing that not all tech jobs require relevant credentials, and that great talent often comes from diverse and multi-disciplinary backgrounds.
But the conversation also revealed an unanticipated—and discomforting—trend: many who land jobs without a CS degree (or at least feel comfortable tweeting about it) are white.
The conversation was started by Alice Goldfuss, a site reliability engineer at GitHub with a degree in film. “I was tired of reading about how unqualified the Equifax [Chief Information Security Officer] was due to her music degree,” Goldfuss wrote in an email to EdSurge on why she created the hashtag. “Yes, there was gross misconduct and incompetence at Equifax, but that has nothing to do with her degree… I wanted to stand up for those who have an unconventional path into tech.”
On Sunday, the self-taught programmer tweeted the following:
Hi, I’m a Site Reliability Engineer at a large tech company.
I have a BFA in Film.
Anyone else #unqualifiedfortech?
— Alice Goldfuss (@alicegoldfuss) September 17, 2017
At first the conversation stirred responses from folks like Behrens or Parrot, many who felt empowered to share their non-technical backgrounds.
I’m a Sr Incident Responder at a gaming company. I have a BA in Genetics and French. Took no computer classes in school. #unqualifiedfortech t.co/KPIcTfgmuA

Principal engineer & architect at an awesome tech co with ~250 engineers.
I have two degrees in plant ecology.#unqualifiedfortech
— Brent Miller (@foliosus) September 17, 2017
But it quickly opened up new questions about how privilege intersects with who benefits the most from certain degrees, alternative education providers, or even no formal higher education at all. “I think #UnqualifiedForTech speaks a lot to imposter syndrome and sexism/racism in tech,” Goldfuss shared. “Having a film degree means I never feel qualified to be in a technical role and being a woman means there’s many systemic biases that reaffirm my doubt.”
Other contributors in the thread pointed out that many of those who managed to land a tech job without the expected qualifications were men, white and still held some level of higher education under their belt.
Also worth nothing, I have an associates, a year experience, portfolio and github. If you’re a POC anything short of a bachelors won’t help

What’s missing in #UnqualifiedForTech: social capital of being a white straight dude let people believe your self-teaching was good enough.
— Taber Andrew Bain (@taber) September 18, 2017
When you get a moment, I encourage you to read through the many #unqualifiedfortech responses.
Then realize how many of us are white.
— Alice Goldfuss (@alicegoldfuss) September 18, 2017
“It’s far easier for a white man to get hired without proper credentials than a white woman, due to the ratio of white men with power in tech. And it’s easier for a white woman to get hired than a [person of color], especially women of color,” Goldfuss elaborated in an email. “Breaking into tech without a CS degree isn’t easy, but having the right skin color and gender gives you a leg up.”
tech white dudes rn: “I don’t have a CS degree”
meanwhile women poc gotta have 10x degrees just to get taken srsly
— butt | masking (@__biancat) September 18, 2017
The tweet storm touched at a common debate in the higher-ed community—what degrees or credentials are necessary to land a job in today’s changing work landscape? Goldfuss began her own career working in web support for a marketing company, but began learning Python at night to work towards her next role. After later becoming a software engineer, she then added Linux to her repertoire, again studying by night.
Goldfuss later moved into ops roles site reliability engineering. To get there she says she learned from books, watching videos online, getting help from colleagues “and many late-night mistakes.”
What’s clear from the hashtag—and research—is that Goldfuss is far from alone in that endeavor. A 2016 study by Stack Overflow, an online community and job board for developers, shows 69 percent of developers are self-taught, and less than half have a BA or BS in computer science or a similar field.
Wendy Nather, principal security strategist at the account protection firm Duo Security, told The Washington Post this week that it’s “extremely common” for companies like hers to hire workers coming from nontechnical backgrounds. The article reads: “What these people bring to the job is a way of thinking about problems — and then solving them — that draws on the best of other disciplines.”
