Info (SP): En total fueron doce los vehiculos carrozados por Castrosua en la gama CS-40 con motorización Mercedes Benz de diez que adquirio Salvia. En el caso de esta unidad, fue de las pocas de su serie que permanecio activa pasados los 2000. De hecho puede presumir de ser de los vehiculos mas longevos de la empresa, sumando mas de dos decadas de servicio. En 2016, con el comienzo de la renovacion de la flota, todos los modelos restantes fueron donados a Cuba, donde parece que siguieron dando guerra.
Info (EN): A total of twelve vehicles were built by Castrosua and powered by Mercedes Benz in their CS-40 range measuring ten metres which began service in Saluki. In the case of this particular vehicle, it is one of the few of its series to survive past the 2000s. In fact it can be proudly pointed as one of the longest serving vehicles in Global's fleet, having served over two decades. In 2016, with the beginning of Global's fleet renewal, all the remaining buses were donated to Cuba, where they seemed to have carried on powering.

Air National Guard Emergency Managers search for radioactive material during a Global Dragon training event at the Guardian Center of Georgia on March 15, 2015.
During this day's training, airmen searched for material following a simulated aircraft crash in a deployed location. Students wore Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) 4 gear, and used Gieger Counters to search through an empty field for the lost material.
Global Dragon provides a refresher course for Airmen, allowing them to put their skills to use to identify live chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents and materials. Air National Guard emergency management technicians from more than 20 individual units participated in Global Dragon.

Gautam Buddha the Serene One founded Buddhism a pan global religion which harkens on Peace and righteous content and the message of grace.
Buddha is a symbol of peace, enlightenment, and spiritual guidance. He is often depicted in various postures and representations, each holding deep symbolism and significance. One such representation is the orange statue to be seen in Srilanka with a raised hand.
This particular orange statue in the middle of a Nuwara Eliya town on one of the intersections lay forlorn on a dark summer evening.
This posture is known as the Abhaya Mudra, which translates to "fearlessness" or "dispelling fear." The raised hand signifies protection and assurance to all beings, offering them solace and freedom from fear.
Nuwara Eliya, situated amidst the lush greenery of Sri Lanka's hill country, provides an ideal setting for this sacred representation. The serene environment complements the peaceful aura that emanates from the Buddha statue.
This depiction of Gautam Buddha serves as a reminder of his teachings on compassion, wisdom, and inner peace. It invites visitors to reflect upon their own fears and anxieties while finding solace in the presence of the enlightened one.
Whether you are seeking spiritual enlightenment or simply appreciating artistry and cultural heritage, encountering the orange statue with a raised hand in Nuwara Eliya or elsewhere in Srilanka, the sight offers a profound experience that transcends boundaries.
