Sabrina Hall: Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands she is the brains of the group. She is a master at CQC and uses her stun grenades to stun and then neutralize enemies that are in nearby rooms. Without her in the group these kinds of situations would be much more troublesome for the team.
Jay "Diablo" Delgado: Born in Puebla, Mexico he is the leader of the group. With his courageous (what some call stupid) acts during missions he is able to finish missions quickly and efficiently. To this date there has not been a single unwanted casualty under his supervision.
David Jefferson:Born in Georgia, USA he uses his perfect accuracy along with Sabrina's intelligence to make every shot count. Not including his training statistics, he has 100% accuracy with his shots, including his pistol.
Together they are one of the few teams who do spec-op missions for the Sol System Alliance to protect our solar system from enemies.

This is Pragya and mother Jananaki. Pragya means talented, creative.
One cannot help but look at children like Pragya and wonder about the future. As the peace process slowly develops after the ten year revolution, many problems still exist in Nepal. The People's war claimed many lives and affected the whole country. Much was lost and much was gained.
And now, 4 years into the peace process there is still uncertainty as to the future. There is no roadmap for the future.
And yet, unlike so much of the rest of the world, Nepal, despite the bloodshed, has retained so much. Yes, the environment has suffered, poaching was rife during the war...but the tiger and nearly every other original species still exists here. Very few countries can say that.
So there is hope for the future...but still a lot of work to be done...
The future for Pragya?
Thanks for looking. This image is part of a photo blog looking at the relationships between politics, people and the environment. I must stress that neither myself or www.wildtiger.org have any political allegiance, we are looking at things as they are, purely from a conservation standpoint, with our eyes open.

Don't you see a future leader of the Armenian mob? All we need is an accompanying side view. This was taken in 1955 for the magazine of the Armenian General Benevolent Union, a charitable organization of which my grandfather was a leader. He died earlier that year and I was made a member in his stead.
Toronto, Canada. Liberty Village **If you look closely, you can see a series of red and blue lines in the foreground. That was a man riding away on his bicycle, bike lights flashing. This was my favourite Nuit Blanche installation of the evening!

HISTORY OF ELTHAM PALACE AND GARDENS
Eltham is a unique marriage between a medieval and Tudor palace and a 1930s millionaire’s mansion. From the 14th to the 16th century it was an important royal palace, where successive monarchs stayed frequently and hunted in the surrounding parks. Edward IV built its magnificent great hall, with its soaring hammerbeam roof and bay windows. After centuries of neglect, in 1933 Eltham was leased to Stephen and Virginia Courtauld, who set about building an up-to-the-minute house that incorporated the great hall. A masterpiece of 20th-century design, it was lavishly decorated in an eclectic range of styles. The Courtaulds also transformed the grounds, which today, like the house, are an intriguing mix of 1930s design and medieval remains.
A MOATED MANOR
Little is known of any settlement on the site until the Domesday survey of 1086, when the manor of Eltham is recorded as belonging to Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror.[1]
The estate changed hands several times until 1295 when Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham, acquired it. He seems to have rebuilt the manor house, and constructed a defensive perimeter wall of stone and brick within the line of the moat.[2]
A cellar and the remains of Bek’s great hall with an octagonal stone hearth and elaborate tiled floor were excavated in the 1970s.[3] A timber drawbridge, probably on the site of the present north bridge, led to the manor house.
ROYAL PALACE
Bek presented the manor to the future Edward II in 1305, though he lived there until his death in 1311. Both Edward and his father had frequently stayed at Eltham.
Edward II later granted the manor to his queen, Isabella. During his reign considerable improvements were made, including the construction of a new retaining wall around Bek’s, with buttresses to support the earlier masonry.[4] Edward and Isabella’s second son, John, was born at Eltham in 1316 and baptised in the chapel there. He was known as John of Eltham.
By the early 14th century Eltham had become one of the largest and most frequented royal residences in the country. Edward III (r.1327–77) spent much of his youth there and frequently visited it as king. In 1364 he received John II of France (1319–64) at the palace amid ‘great dancing and caroling’ when John returned to voluntary captivity in England. John was accompanied by his secretary Jean Froissart, who subsequently recorded the event in his lively Chronicles and described Eltham as ‘a very magnificent manor’.[5]
Extensive alterations and repairs were made in the 1350s and 1360s. The moat walls were altered again, and a new drawbridge and service buildings were built. New royal lodgings on the east side of the site featured a bathroom for the king with a tiled floor and glazed windows. There are references at this time to chapels for the king and queen and to a garden with vines.

166:366 This is the second time we have seen groups of children trying out the fire hoses at the local fire station. A great idea. My Dad was a volunteer fireman for many years in Wiota, Iowa. Their team won many awards in water fights with other towns at an annual convention. They rigged a barrel on an overhead cable. The two times tried to move the barrel to the opposing teams side. I even got to be on a kids team occasionally. Very fun! And refreshing on a hot day!

More than 80 percent of Iceland's energy is renewable, mainly through geothermal, and some through hydro. In fact, technically, nearly 100 percent of electricity is renewable, but because cars and ships still use fuel, the overall energy figure is lower. This is an image from a geothermal plant outside of Reykjavik. It generates more than 200 megawatts of power now, with much more coming online shortly. Iceland is the world leader in geothermal. Its engineers are even traveling to other countries, such as China, to consult on best practices.
In the future eveything is sleek and white. Wheels are unguarded and the Police wear very figure hugging uniforms to distract us from doing anything illegal.
