Description
Hear from Federal DEIA leaders on how EEO and Civil Rights laws have been enhanced with DEIA principles promoted in the federal workplace through President Biden's issuance of Executive Orders (EOs) which have advanced equity, civil rights, racial justice and equal opportunity throughout all of the Federal Government. In June 2021, the President specifically issued EO 14035, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in the Federal Workforce so that Agency workforces reflect the diversity of America through its employment policies and practices to ensure that public servants at all levels have an equal opportunity to succeed and lead. This builds on other Equity-related EOs such as EO 13985 Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities through the Federal Government. The Federal Government is working to be a model for DEIA, where all employees are treated with dignity and respect through its recruitment, hire, professional development, career advancement and retention of the Nation’s talent with initiatives to remove barriers to equal opportunity. Hear how the Federal Government is ensuring accountability to assure a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplaces that yields higher-performing organizations.

Ha Long Bay (Vietnamese: Vịnh Hạ Long) situates in Quảng Ninh province in northeastern Vietnam, from E106°56' to E107°37' and from N20°43' to N21°09'. The bay stretches from Yên Hưng district, past Hạ Long city, Cẩm Phả town to Vân Đồn district, bordered on the south and southeast by the Gulf of Tonkin, on the north by China and on the west and southwest by Cát Bà island. The bay has a 120 kilometer long coastline and covers approximately 1,553 square kilometers with 1969 islets. UNESCO designated Ha Long Bay a World Heritage site in 1994 and extended in 2000. The area designated by UNESCO as the World Natural Heritage Site includes 434 km² with 775 islets, the zone defined by Đầu Gỗ island on the west, Ba Hầm lake on the south and Cống Tây island on the east. The protected area extends from the Cái Dăm petrol store to Quang Hanh commune, Cẩm Phả town and the surrounding giants zone. The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes.
Navigating Bermuda and Cumberland Island: Intrigue, Flux, and Current : www.mfairlady.com/navigating-bermuda-and-cumberland-island/
Bermuda's upper layer was built by corals that thrive in the clear, warm waters pulled up by the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream that runs through the BermudaTriangle is swift and turbulant. It flows at 4 to 5 knots along the shelf break until it deflects out over the open ocean off Cape Hatteras. A constant succession of massive eddies and upwellings peel off the Gulf Stream's western wall, carrying life from the tropics to the temperate sounds of North Carolina.
The ocean floor has shoals around islands as well as some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. Uncharted navigational hazards abound as strong currents interact with reefs creating a constant flux.
Earlier this year I went on a kayak expedition around Georgia's Cumberland Island and kayak surfing was one of my favorite memories from the trip. People who like to surf, including kayak surfing, will look for the shoals where waves break.
These blue map posts dotted around London are a God send for lost visitors, and a great opportunity candid shots.
I've been trying out some street photography, and took this picture while on a "one lens wander" around London to see how I got on.
Some street photography from a weekend away in London. Two tourists examine a map whilst deciding where to go. There are more in this series which I will upload later.
N.B check out the camera strap around the neck of the person to the left, a wise choice of camera!

Photos from Litquake's opening awards
A winter mountain biking classic, Syncline is always the driest trail around yet even it was completely waterlogged from the monsoons we've been having.
The leaf now flutters slowly, erratically,
like a wounded butterfly, downward, downward,
until it lights on the water’s surface ever so gently,
beginning a tortuous journey leading seaward.
It floats along in the little brook’s unhurried flow,
warmed by the early morning sun, circumstances serene.
For hours the leaf has drifted calmly, encountering no hazard,
when its brook merges into a larger stream.
The pace now quickens; the leaf is hurried along.
Plop, plop, plop…rain, which soon becomes a torrent.
The leaf is getting wet – surface as underside. Before long
it rides low in the ruffled water. Eventually, the storm is spent,
rain replaced with sunshine to dry off its wet waxy topside.
The stream flows briskly,
carrying the leaf many miles.
Upon its delivery into a river –
a river so mighty and wide,
the leaf is swept along in the raging current, past piles of debris, protruding rocks,
amidst the flotsam rushing
toward the sea,
riding the current’s waves’ valleys and peaks,
hour after hour, mile upon mile,
quite doggedly navigating
the course, until battered and broken, it finally wearily sinks.
What a ride! What a journey –
so marvelous and magnificent!
Yet, did the other leaves care?
Did the tree even notice what
its leaf accomplished?

My neighbourhood has several paths and green spaces throughout. However with the floods and now nice weather, the mosquitoes are insane!

Lady Of The Rivers -- "The story of Jacquetta, Duchess of Bedford, a woman who navigated a treacherous path through the battle lines in the Wars of the Roses. When Jacquetta is left a wealthy young widow, she returns to England and achieves a place at the very heart of the Lancaster court, though she can sense the danger of their royal York rivals. As Jacquetta fights for her king and her queen, she can see an extraordinary and unexpected future for her daughter Elizabeth: a change of fortune, the throne of England, and the white rose of York. . . ." -- from www.barnesandnoble.com
Kingmaker's Daughter -- "The gripping tale of the daughters of the man known as the Kingmaker, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century England. Without a son and heir, he uses his daughters, Anne and Isabel, as pawns in his political games. When Anne is left widowed, her mother in sanctuary, and her sister married to the enemy, she manages her own escape and makes a choice that will set her on a collision course with the overwhelming power of the royal family." -- from www.barnesandnoble.com
White Queen -- "The story of Elizabeth Woodville, a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition, who secretly marries the newly crowned Edward IV. Elizabeth rises to the demands of her exalted position and fights for her family’s dominance, but despite her best efforts, her two sons become pawns in a famous unsolved mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the lost princes in the Tower of London. In this dazzling account of the deadly Wars of the Roses, brother turns on brother to win the ultimate prize, the throne of England." -- from www.barnesandnoble.com
Red Queen -- "Margaret Beaufort, heiress to the red rose of Lancaster, who charts her own way through treacherous alliances and secret plots. Setting her heart on putting her son, Henry, on the throne, she sends him into exile and pledges him in marriage to the daughter of her sworn enemy. She then masterminds one of the greatest rebellions of all time—all the while knowing that her son has grown to manhood, recruited an army, and awaits his opportunity to win the greatest prize." -- from www.barnesandnoble.com
Very good novels, all of them...there's a little overlapping among them but otherwise it was easy to keep track of when everything was happening...I learned a great deal about the period of the War of the Roses than I ever had before, including a lot about some influential women I hadn't heard much about.
