This tomato hornwom seemed fine the day before. He was happily killing a sweet red pepper plant.
Fredag: efter skolan gick jag runt i Humlegården en stund och fotade. Insåg att jag verkligen är svag för den här sortens löjliga sensommarmotiv. Det betyder att jag ifall allt annat går åt helvete kan se fram emot en karriär som fotograf av standardskrivbordsbilder till Windows. Yay me.

Governor Josh Shapiro, First Lady Lori Shapiro, Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, and Second Lady Blayre Holmes Davis will host a State Dinner at the Governor’s Residence in honor of nine Pennsylvanians who have made a difference in their communities. The State Dinner will tell the stories of nine Pennsylvanians who do meaningful work to improve the lives of others across the Commonwealth.
The centerpiece of the evening’s program will be the presentation of the Governor’s Keystone Award, which each honoree will receive in recognition of the significant contributions they’ve made to their communities, donating their time, knowledge, and talents to help improve the lives of others.
Members of the Shapiro Administration’s cabinet will also attend the State Dinner, which will feature a string quartet from the NEPA Philharmonic.
“Josh and I are honored to welcome these inspiring Pennsylvanians and their families into our home so we can recognize the work they are doing to make our Commonwealth a better place,” said First Lady Lori Shapiro. “Their incredible stories show that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can make a difference in the lives of the people around you. All nine Pennsylvanians being honored tonight are examples of the power of one – one person serving their community, addressing the needs they see, lending a helping hand, can have a compounding nature and a large impact over time.”
“As I travel all across our Commonwealth, it’s the stories of Pennsylvanians who are making a difference in their communities that inspires me and keeps me going,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “The First Lady and I are honored to recognize nine exemplary Pennsylvanians who are improving their communities, whether that means advocating for those too often forgotten and left behind, mentoring our children to ensure they have the tools to succeed, or supporting those who have served in uniform. We congratulate and thank them for their contributions to our Commonwealth, dedication to their communities, and commitment to service.”
The State Dinner is part of Governor and First Lady Shapiro’s efforts to reimagine the use of Governor’s Residence, opening the Residence up to more Pennsylvanians and organizing programs that inspire others to give back to their communities.
Tonight’s honorees include:

Glynis Johns from Scranton: Glynis is local historian, sociologist, artist, and advocate from Scranton. While pursuing her master’s degree, she discovered that decades of Black history in Scranton was not being taught.

The Black Scranton Project researches and archives local Black history and shares that information with the public to foster awareness and representation.
Thomas Lenox from Erie: Tommy is the coordinator of the Erie Police Athletic League (PAL).

Tommy was awarded ‘Officer of the Year’ by the Northwestern Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association for his work with PAL.

She is also a motivational speaker who shares her story to advocate for ending gun violence.

Today, NMCCL hosted a special ceremony in honor of the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families of the victims, and the thousands of Americans who came together and assisted in recovery efforts after the terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001. Several staff members spoke of their personal experiences in NYC the day of the attacks, while some of our junior Sailors shared how they commemorate the anniversary every year.
"Today, we remember the loss of so many lives on that most horrible day in our history…On 9/11 every year, we are mindful and resolute that their deaths,
like their lives, shall have profound meaning. And in that meaning we shall carry forward our responsibility to protect America, the land we love.”

On the morning of Tuesday, October 21, 2008 an event with Barack Obama was hosted at the Lake Worth Campus of Palm Beach Community College in the Elizabeth W. Erling Gymnasium.
Instead of the expected Obama Rally, the stage was set for a round table discussion. When Barack Obama took the stage, he spoke for about 10 minutes, proposing a job tax credit for each new employee hired by American businesses, eliminating capital gains taxes for small businesses, rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, rebuilding a "broke" health-care system, creating a world-class education system and investing in renewable energy. Then Obama explained the bi-partisan panel we were about to witness and introduced the participants... right to left... Governor of Colorado Bill Ritter, CEO of Google Eric Schmidt, Governor of Ohio Ted Strickland, owner of South Florida-based Victoria & Associates Victoria Villalba, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker, the Governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm and last but certainly not least the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson.
Barack Obama called for five million new jobs to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, help rebuild the country's infrastructure and in the process help to save our planet.
