Having being employed for 2 years now, I've seen some of my close friends make their decisions on whether to stay or to move on to a new destination. Often, these people who have decided would say that they have made the right choice and that the opposing option was a bad choice.
However, I've come to the conclusion that it is not the path that one takes, but rather, one can only move on and learn more, if they are certain and clear about their objectives in life.
If somehow your objectives are blurred, whats ahead of you would most probably be like in this picture... a "NO ENTRY", a sign of no progress.
This purpose of this burn was two-fold. The first objective of the burn is to remove the hazardous fuels that have accumulated in the project area, primarily duff and other vegetative litter that has built up over the last couple of decades.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles
Type/style of photography: Still Life
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): M
f stop used: f/22- This f stop was appropriate, since it created more depth in the photo, and didn’t cause anything in this photo to be blurred.
shutter speed used: I used a tripod for this photo, to make the lights have a star like look.
ISO used: 400- Being that I was in the studio, using a smaller ISO, made it so that there was no noise, or at least not a lot of noise.
Focal length: 50.0mm- Using this focal length made it so that it looks more like it would in person.

OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVE CAMERA
The device on display is an element of the standard set of cameras and reconnaissance equipment carried by the SR-71 in the 1970s. It is a stereoscopic camera designed to photograph the ground under the aircraft's flight path. This produces a three dimensional image that greatly eases the identification of the objects that are photographed.
One of the main objectives of the European Union is to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion between regions. The reformed EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 comes at a pivotal moment. Recent years of austerity have seen rising unemployment and widening inequality, especially in peripheral regions, with youth, women and ethnic minorities worst affected.
Making over €350 billion available to invest in Europe's regions, cities and the real economy, the reformed Cohesion Policy is the EU's principal investment tool to deliver the Europe 2020 goals: creating growth and jobs, tackling climate change and energy dependence, reducing poverty and social exclusion. Once member states’ national contributions and the leverage effect of financial instruments are taken into account, the impact is likely to be over €500 billion.
Launching a new partnership with the European Commission, with the participation of the OECD, Salzburg Global’s program is timed to help key stakeholders understand the rules and results-oriented focus of the reformed Cohesion Policy and ensure maximum impact for these investments. It will build on our longstanding European program which has featured over 15 sessions devoted to the EU’s development and expansion, grounded in our location at the crossroads of East and West.
The 2014 program will focus on ways in which regional development policy and complementary instruments can enhance competitiveness and effective governance at local, regional and transboundary levels.
Participants will examine tools for environmentally sustainable innovation, human capital development, creation and financing of SMEs and the transition to a low carbon economy. They will compare practical projects and mechanisms that have delivered successful outcomes for competitiveness and inclusive growth, in and beyond Europe, in order to identify transferable tools and connect stakeholders who are leading cutting-edge work around the world.
The program will be held from May 17 to May 22, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria, with a one day, high-level pre-session meeting on May 17-18, focusing on European competitiveness, the shift to low carbon economies, and the role of sustainable cities.

Objective of this project was to create a picture of my choice using a gradient mesh somewhere in the project. The principle of art that I used to organize some elements of art was variety, I used a variety of colors and shapes to create this project.

Southern Regional Fuels Program recognized for implementing prescribed fire over 1.3 million acres this year
Wildfire season has intensified with “mega fires” becoming the norm across western landscapes. The Regional Fuels Program acknowledged it’s not “if,” but “when” the south will have to face similar wildfire seasons. Forests across the Southern Region applied prescribed fire on a regional record-high 1.3 million acres of federal lands. All of this was completed during a pandemic and a new budget modernization process.
The last decade, the U.S. wildfire season has intensified year after year with “mega fires” becoming common place across the western landscape. The Southern Regional Fuels Program acknowledged it’s not “if,” but when the south will have to face similar wildfire seasons as climate change continues making its mark. This Region accomplished implementing prescribed fire to more than 1.3 million acres in FY21, during a pandemic, and following a new budget modernization process.
Forest Service employees carried out the program of work while putting their trust in Regional leadership that the funding and needed resources would be provided. Every Ranger District executed its best effort on all burn days, managing the team's safety while meeting the objectives outlined in the interdisciplinary approved burn plans.
The Forest Service improved water quality, air quality, and carbon sequestration as it reduced the wildfire threat to local communities throughout the south, including Puerto Rico. Our employees embody the skills necessary to perform at a high level to accomplish the mission and communicate the benefits of their work to external audiences. This monumental feat would not have occurred without thousands of Southern USDA Forest Service Employees dedication and strong work ethic.
The success of the Regional Fuels Program was dependent on several individuals for their leadership and ability to communicate to make this year’s historic accomplishment possible.
Mike Ward has been at the helm of fuels management, overseeing suppression, aviation, and coordination functions to acquire the necessary resources and not overextending fire suppression needs. Ward coordinated with Air, Archeology, Biology, Budget, and Timber program managers to ensure a desired outcome by all.
Jason Demas has managed budget concerns and balanced fire suppression needs. Mike Seaton managed the surge modules stationed all around the Southern Region. Seaton communicated daily inside and outside the Geographical Area to keep a workforce available to meet Regional needs. Nancy Ellsworth was a critical contributor to streamlining the ordering process and troubleshooting with the National Interagency Coordination Center to improve the process.
Shardul Raval helped navigate the process to keep the Regional Leadership Team informed, while addressing concerns promptly. He had the bigger picture insight that led to the great success for all of our lands treated with prescribed fire.
Assignment #2: Self-portrait
Objective: An expose of yourself, (not what you have to what you do), but how you think and whats important to you. Think of it as a "visual diary".
Explanation:
From kindergarten to 8th grade i attended a very small private catholic school. My 8th grade graduating class consisted of 27 students, the majority of which were kids i had gone to school with since we were 5 years old. Growing up in such a small circle made schooling so much more scrutinized. I always felt different, but not in a bad way. Inside I felt like i 'operated' differently then my classmates, yet in the end i was still able to accomplish everything everyone else could.
