The Sokol SK-1 suit was worn by Yuri Gagarin during the first flight to orbit the Earth, on April 12, 1961. It was fully pressurized and had connectors for a life support system. (I'm pretty sure this is a Sokol SK-1 suit, not the actual suit Gagarin wore!)
I was bemused by the lace-up boots. I can only assume they have airtight lining.

Municipal Court clerks are available to help the public with any information they may need. Individuals that would like to know the total amount of fines due before the amnesty program begins may visit the court, located at 4610 Maher Avenue. Individuals with outstanding warrants that appear for court will not be arrested. In order to qualify for this program and possibly be cleared of the outstanding debt, individuals must be prepared to pay at least half of the amount of their outstanding fine. However, final determination of the amount to be paid is on a case-by-case basis as decided by Judge Dominguez.
It is very important that the public take advantage of the amnesty program. Municipal Court does have a warrant division that issues and executes warrants on a daily basis; therefore, it is always best that individuals visit the court and take care of their outstanding cases.
Reminder to all, Municipal Court holds court sessions twice a day, morning and afternoon. Individuals that would like to take care of their outstanding cases may appear for court between 8am - 9am for the morning session, or between 12pm – 1pm for the afternoon session.

Hope you are well , I am fine too. We are thankful for all your support through lights that you have provided to Women who are part of Adult literacy classes. As I have received a call from Mr Shahid i am sharing the following information with you.
Women Empowerment groups were started in 2013 in all the PEP schools. The ideas was to provide awareness to women regarding their rights, responsibilities, savings, and issues such as early marriage. These women were provided training on building low cost washroom and they were also provided training on how to save their families during severe floods. At present PEP has 67 groups in total. Each group has a group of 10 females.
In 2016 , on the request of women, adult literacy course is introduced to the women. Project aimed at 5 centres in 2016 but 27 centre were started in 2016. they women were provide free books and no fee was charged from them. A mobilizer from the same village taught these classes.. They course is designed for one year as it is a weekly class.
In 2017 , PEP introduced a centre where women can learn from android tablets. PEP has designed three grade applications in Sindhi on tablets which are useful for these women. They can use those applications and hear sounds and can read the sentences and stories.
Now women are able to read and write sentences. Instead of thumb print they can write their names. They developed their confidence and able to perform theater on sensitive issues. Some of the theatre performances are uploaded on PEP website.
PEP is reaching out to the marginalized communities with a hope of educating them and making them effective citizen of our country.
PEP requested you to distribute these light as a token of thanks and as a resource for them so they can use it in the night too. They are thankful for all the encouragement that you have provided to them.
Please feel free to ask further information.

Young people learn life skills through DARE program
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Juggling red balloons symbolized life’s many challenges during graduation for a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program held recently at Wilson Barracks.
Fifth graders were helping Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, juggle several red balloons. A blue balloon was tossed in, representing drugs and alcohol, to show the difficulty of keeping life’s balloons aloft with an added impairment.
Spontaneously, Zetterstrom tapped the blue balloon to the floor and popped it with his desert-colored combat boot.
“I saw that it represented something bad,” Zetterstrom said. “Stomping it out was the right thing to do.”
Lessons like that are what the DARE program is about. Since 1983, DARE has taught millions of students worldwide about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Each April, "National DARE Day" is commemorated in the United States by a presidential proclamation, community events and activities.
In Kaiserslautern Military Community's fours elementary schools, students complete 10 lessons over several weeks, working from DARE planners.
Weekly lessons often include acting out skits on peer pressure and watching videos about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Landstuhl’s graduating class was the first for Army Sgt. Raymond Engstrom, 29, of Cottage Grove, Minn., a garrison military police officer. The thought of facing children in classrooms each week was daunting at first. Yet, Engstrom knew the importance of DARE discussions and began enjoying the classes.
“You learn to have fun with it,” Engstrom said. “They’re just young people. I always refrain from calling them kids or students. I’d say “people about your age.”
Over the past few months, Engstrom has developed significantly, said his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Rouse, the provost marshal operations sergeant.
“He’s ran with it,” Rouse said. “Now he’s very interactive with the kids, parents and school staff. And I think he enjoys it significantly.”
During the graduation, held at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Heaton Auditorium, Zetterstrom said he was proud to see Army noncommissioned offer leading the DARE program
“We’re American living overseas. We want our children to have the best education possible,” Zetterstrom said. “Learning is not always about academics, it’s about life skills and that’s what DARE does.”

Our Community Care program provides at home care for severely disabled children. Many of these children were placed on waiting lists for orphanages and institutions by desperate parents who had no where else to turn. We provide professional services such as speech and language therapists, physical therapists, and psychologists.
Hospice Care programs, such as one might find in Ireland and the USA, are in very early stages of development in Belarus. Working in close collaboration with local organizations such as Gomel Hospice Care, our Hospice Care programme helps families care for their terminally ill children in the dignity and comfort of their own homes.
The children served by our Hospice and Community Care programmes are in urgent need of financial sponsorship.

O Tribunal de Justiça do Amazonas (TJAM) e a Eletrobras – Amazonas Energia assinaram um contrato nesta segunda-feira (27) para a implantação do Programa de Eficiência Energética, que beneficiará o Fórum Ministro Henoch Reis, na Comarca de Manaus. Com a iniciativa, o prédio será o primeiro do Judiciário da região Norte a ser dotado de um sistema tecnológico moderno e ecologicamente correto em relação ao consumo de energia.
Resultado de uma parceria entre os órgãos acima, a Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel) e Universidade Federal do Amazonas (Ufam), após um estudo minucioso sobre a implantação do programa, o projeto não tem custo para o TJAM e consiste na substituição de lâmpadas fluorescentes por outras mais econômicas nas salas do fórum e por lâmpadas do tipo LED nos corredores do prédio, num investimento no total de R$ 419,4 mil. O início dos trabalhos de instalação está previsto para setembro e a estimativa de redução de consumo de energia é de aproximadamente 30%. Hoje, a conta de energia elétrica do fórum é de R$ 130 mil, em média, por mês. Ao final de 12 meses, a estimativa é que o Tribunal economize um pouco mais de R$ 400 mil.
O Tribunal de Justiça do Amazonas já é considerado o "Tribunal Verde" do Norte do País pelas várias ações voltadas para a conscientização e preservação ambiental. Segundo o presidente do TJAM, desembargador Ari Moutinho, o convênio trará importantes resultados e é um bom exemplo que deve pode ser seguido por outras instituições. "Estou feliz por participar deste projeto, pois significa muito para nós. A economia no consumo de energia será significativa, o que é importante para o Tribunal, que temos um orçamento apertado".
"Trata-se do primeiro prédio público a ser dotado de um sistema tecnológico moderno e ecologicamente correto da região Norte", destaca o juiz auxiliar da Presidência do Tribunal, Adalberto Carim Antonio, titular da Vara Especializada do Meio Ambiente e de Questões Agrárias (Vemaqa), que acompanhou o estudo. Ele afirma ainda que "o TJAM está dando um passo muito grande para a questão da sustentabilidade, pois vamos economizar energia. É impossível estar à frente do poder público sem adotar medidas para cuidar do meio ambiente".
O Programa Eficiência Energética será executado por uma empresa contratada e supervisionada pela Eletrobras Amazonas Energia e implantado em três etapas. Primeiro, a contratada realizará a medição da demanda e do consumo de energia do circuito de iluminação pelo período de sete dias, depois fará a substituição e realização da manufatura reversa das lâmpadas e reatores, após isso, fará nova medição da demanda e do consumo de energia do circuito de iluminação pelo período de sete dias, objetivando medir o ganho no consumo de energia elétrica.
De acordo com o diretor de Geração, Transmissão e Operação para a Capital, da Eletrobras Amazonas Energia, Tarcísio Rosa, a assinatura do contrato é um momento único tanto para a empresa quanto para o Judiciário no Amazonas. "Este é um momento que deve servir de incentivo não somente para os órgãos públicos, como também para todo cidadão amazonense. É hora de iniciarmos uma forte campanha pela utilização da energia com racionalidade e economia", observa.
O diretor ressalta que a missão da Eletrobras é de se tornar uma das maiores empresas fornecedoras de energia limpa de todo o país e, por meio de projetos como o Eficiência Energética, a empresa vem cumprindo seu papel. "Dessa forma, além de economizar energia, a empresa também proporciona maior qualidade de vida para as pessoas", destaca Rosa.
O projeto consiste em substituir 3.398 lâmpadas tubulares fluorescentes de 40W por 3.398 lâmpadas tubulares fluorescentes de 32W; substituir 1.699 reatores de 40W por reatores de 32W; substituir 1.444 lâmpadas tubulares fluorescentes de 40W por 1.444 lâmpadas tubulares LED de 18W; retirar 722 reatores de 40W; realizar a manufatura reversa das lâmpadas substituídas e reatores retirados, conforme a Lei nº 12.305/2010; e realizar a medição e verificação por sete dias antes e sete dias depois da substituição das lâmpadas e reatores.
Projeto Parintins
Outro anúncio feito trata da instalação de placas fotovoltaicas (energia solar) no Fórum da Comarca de Parintins (a 379 quilômetros de Manaus), em um projeto piloto financiado pelas Empresas Distribuidoras da Eletrobras denominado "Projeto Parintins". A ação também será pioneira no Judiciário brasileiro, sem custos para o TJAM.
"O Amazonas tem muito sol, muita energia à disposição. Em Parintins, o fórum e cerca de 150 residências serão dotadas de placas fotovoltaicas, o que vai economizar o óleo usado na geração local de energia", destaca Tarcísio Rosa.
O Projeto Parintins, que adota o sistema smart grids (redes inteligentes), teve início em 2011 e prevê a total automatização da rede de distribuição de energia elétrica daquele município. Uma gama de equipamentos e dispositivos modernos e de alta tecnologia como: religadores e medidores inteligentes, irão oportunizar maior confiabilidade ao sistema e possibilitar que consumidores possam fazer uso racional de energia.
Pioneirismo
Outros projetos já vêm sendo desenvolvidos pelo Judiciário estadual na área ambiental. No fim de julho, o TJAM assinou um acordo de cooperação técnica com a empresa Eternal – Indústria, Comércio, Serviço e Tratamento de Resíduos da Amazônia, para o descarte de óleo lubrificante dos 67 veículos da frota do órgão.
Com a iniciativa, o TJAM tornou-se um dos primeiros Tribunais de Justiça do Brasil e o primeiro da região Norte a dar uma destinação ecologicamente correta ao resíduo. Até o momento já foram recolhidos 200 litros de óleo lubrificante e uma bombona de 200 litros com recipientes de óleo.
Além disto, o Amazonas conta há 15 anos com o trabalho pioneiro da Vara Especializada do Meio Ambiente e de Questões Agrárias (Vemaqa). Por meio da aplicação de penas alternativas e medidas compensatórias, a Vara desenvolve atividades de conscientização ambiental e implantou projetos como a Oca do Conhecimento Ambiental (são duas bibliotecas com livros na área em bairros de Manaus), Postos de Entrega Voluntária – PEVs - (oito unidades que estimulam o destino correto do lixo reciclável), e o Espaço da Cidadania Ambiental (Ecam) no Shopping Manauara, que promove oficinas de reciclagem, workshops e exibição de filmes ambientais para posterior discussão, em conjunto com outros órgãos do Sistema Nacional do Meio Ambiente (Sisnama).
A Vara do Meio Ambiente já recebeu várias premiações pelo trabalho desenvolvido:
- Prêmio de Qualidade do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, em 2001;
- Distinção no Prêmio Innovare, em 2007;
- Prêmio do Instituto Chico Mendes, em 2008;
- Instituto Brasileiro de Defesa da Natureza, em 2009;
- Ordem do Mérito do Cavaleiro do Exército Brasileiro, em 2010;
- Revelação pela
pesquisa mundial de varas e tribunais ambientais do Greening Justice, da Unesco e Universidade do Colorado, em 2010;
- Destaque com o trabalho prático "Especializar é a tendência", na Rio + 20.

At Sean's encouragement, here's something that's in process that I don't like at all. After spending way too many non-billable hours trying to resolve my unhappiness on my own, I'm posting it here (which I should have done last week).
The church is doing a 6-week series called "All Aboard" about unity and momentum and commitment and adventure. The imagery is that of an old steam engine and passenger car. We want to make the program/bulletin look like an old train ticket. What I've got so far looks more "stage coach" than train ticket. Where am I going wrong?
I've selected a manila construction paper. It has a mottled look and fuzzy feeling, so I think we're communicating vintage through the tactile. They will be printed in-house on a color laser. They're not up for cutting them all down to achieve a full bleed, so they need at least a 1/4" margin.
The font used in the on-screen imagery is Century Schoolbook. Their brand font is Franklin Gothic family. Those are the two that are used here.
Help me take this all the way!
