A U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) organized Africa Deployment Assistance Partnership Team (ADAPT) recently trained, and for the first time ever, certified 25 soldiers of the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) as C-130 aircraft load planners in Entebbe, Uganda.
A five-person team, led by Gordon Christensen of Army Africa’s G-4 Mobility Division, completed Phase III training with UPDF soldiers Aug. 27 in Entebbe, Uganda, said John Hanson, chief of the G-4 Policy and Programs Branch.
“This was the first actual air load certification we’ve done, of all the previous ADAPT engagements,” Hanson said. “That’s what makes it unique.”
Two weeks of classroom instruction and hands-on training enabled 25 of 31 students to earn U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command Form 9 certification, significantly augmenting the Uganda land force’s air deployment capability, while developing greater interoperability with U.S. military forces, Hanson said.
The ADAPT program, developed to enhance the force projection capabilities of African militaries, is managed by the USARAF G-4 staff. Its aim is to bridge the gap between limited deployment capacity and the need to provide forces in support of peacekeeping or humanitarian relief operations, Hanson said.
“We’re building capacity for people to deploy, to do their own missions,” he said.
Even when the training doesn’t lead to actual U.S. Air Force certification, as it did this time in Uganda, it contributes to an enhanced deployment capacity for the land force involved, Hanson said.
“That’s the intent. They can’t do the certification, but they can continue to train their own people. Then we back off and they continue to do that,” he said.
The program is a Title 22 tactical logistics engagement funded by the U.S. Department of State, and focuses on African countries that contribute troops to peacekeeping operations, Hanson said.
Training is executed in four installments in order to create a long-term, phased approach to building deployment capacity, Hanson said. Instructors take students from a general orientation to tactical deployment principles to an advanced level of practical proficiency.
Instructors for the UPDF course were sourced using the Request For Forces (RFF) process, Hanson said.
Christensen was accompanied U.S. Army Capt. Jedmund Greene of 21st Theater Support Command’s 16th Sustainment Brigade, based in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and three Air Force noncommissioned officers: Tech. Sgt. Venus Washington, Robbins Air Force Base, Ga.; Tech. Sgt. Byran Quinn, Pope Air Force Base, N.C.; and Senior Master Sgt. Anthony D. Tate of the Illinois Air National Guard.
“The training helped to strengthen the relationship with our Ugandan partners, and also helped them build a self-sustaining deployment capacity,” Greene said. “I hope 21st TSC can increase its support to USARAF logistics theater security cooperation events in the future.”
Army Africa’s G-4 staff is presently working to synchronize ADAPT with the Africa Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) program. A proof of concept joint training was conducted with ACOTA in Rwanda earlier this year, combining tactical- and support-staff training in logistics with the more complex operational techniques of force deployment and mobility, Hanson said.
The Rwanda training demonstrated the feasibility of combining available U.S. government resources to achieve the most efficient and focused effort to advance common foreign policy objectives with U.S. partners in Africa, he said.
To date, ADAPT missions have been funded for eight African countries. Previous training sessions have been conducted in Rwanda, Ghana and Burkina Faso as well as Uganda, and the number is likely to grow in coming years, Hanson said.
“The programs were identified as being of interest to several other countries during the Army Africa Theater Army Security Cooperation Conference, held in Vicenza in August,” Hanson said.
The next planned ADAPT mission is for Phase I training in Botswana, scheduled for the first quarter of 2011, he said.

An abandoned trestle over Whatcom Creek is slowly succumbing to the elements in the woods on the east side of Bellingham, Washington. This was Northern Pacific's entry into Bellingham from the Sumas Branch (which is still operated by BNSF today.) The Lake Whatcom Railway operates excursions over a segment of this line in the mountains to the east. Though it once enjoyed booming lumber traffic, the branch was abandoned not long after the BN merger.

I wanted to express my eternal gratitude to Mr. Rick Simpson himself, Dr. Janet Sweeney and her dedicated husband George with the Phoenix Tears Foundation and Dr. Bob Melamede for not only saving my life, but the lives of so very many out there in the world. More than 11 minutes of my segment was edited out of the Ricki Lake Show cutting out my comments about these are angels on earth. I can't control the final edit of a television show. I am only a guest. But I feel it's important to give credit where credit is due. The best thing is that Ricki has invited me to appear as a regular, which gives us an opportunity to do MORE television in the mainstream to share more patient stories. I'm especially proud of Erin & Brandon parents of Mykayla Comstock and of course the bravest little girl in the world Mykayla :) Erin & Brandon presented themselves in such a professional and articulate manner that I was so very proud to be associated with their mission. I am so touched and inspired by them. The Phoenix Tears Project saves lives. I urge you to find out more and support their efforts. I remember being near death with just weeks to hang on, Dr. Janet Sweeney & George took me personally to the doctor and even paid for the doctor when I was completely tapped out financially back in 2009 from being sick for so long. We can never lose sight of these amazing heroes. We have a huge opportunity here as an entire community to get these stories out to the world. If we show the media, that we WANT and NEED this kind of MAIN STREAM programming, then great journalists like Russ and Johnny can start sharing news and stories of all of the amazing patients and activists out there. This is our time. We are at a tipping point. Let's make it happen. Can you help me by sharing all of the videos that I have posted here in the comments with your social networks? Can I ask you to add some comments of support on the links that I've shared so that we can share our movement with the world? Think of the lives we will both save and enrich. Think of our abilities to collectively influence public opinion to keep changing laws. This is our time. I need your help and I humbly ask you to support me in this mission. Please stay in touch with me through my social networks.
On the Ricki Lake Show Official Website:
Medical marijuana has long been a taboo subject, but The Ricki Lake Show tackles the subject matter head on with a debate on the most contentious topic in health care. The parents of a 7-year-old leukemia patient and cancer survivor Cheryl Shuman open up to Ricki on the positive effects of using cannabis in their treatments.
In a daytime exclusive, Erin and Brandon made national headlines with their controversial decision to administer marijuana to their 7-year-old daughter who is battling an aggressive form of cancer. Medical cannabis advocate Cheryl Shuman has been helping the couple with treatments for their daughter. Cheryl Shuman battled for her own life after ovarian cancer almost took her life, but she turned to medical marijuana and survived the disease.
In a television first, Shuman showcases legal cannabis products in the "Medical Controversies" episode. Shuman, known as the "Martha Stewart of Marijuana," became an advocate and expert in the field for the $47 billion cannabis industry.

30th April 2013
I'm currently having a bit of fun working on a series of paintings for a new horror film called Blaze of Gory that features nine separate stories told by nine different horror directors from around the world. “All the short films are based on the writings of a teenage girl called Blaize-Alix Szanto, who wrote these stories between the ages of 12 and 15. They are truly depraved tales of horror and torture that have made even the hardest horror directors uneasy.”
The section that I've been asked to produce the work for is called "Monster" and is about a young girl locked away in a high-security mental hospital for a series of brutal crimes. The talented cast includes scream-queen Victoria Broom, and ex-Coronation Street legend Martin Hancock. It is directed by Andy Edwards, whose previous horror anthology feature, the chilling triptych "Three's A Shroud", won the British Horror Award at the British Horror Film Festival 2012.
So far I've come up with eight paintings which will eventually be used to adorn the walls of the psycho girl's cell. They're a mixture of images of death, immolation, torture, and dismembered corpses - and are to appear to be the work of the girl herself. To prepare for this and to try and get into the right mindset I spent time looking through a lot of autopsy photos – always a pleasant way to spend a relaxing Sunday! The last part of the 'Monster' segment of the movie takes place in Professor Damocles's office, and there's a chance that some of my sculptures might also make it this scene. But lets wait and see!
NGC 4088 (= Arp 18 = PGC 38302)
Discovered (Mar 9, 1788) by William Herschel
A 10th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SAB(rs)bc) in Ursa Major (RA 12 05 34.6, Dec +50 32 26)
NGC 4088's recessional velocity of 755 km/sec is too small for a reliable distance estimate, as peculiar (non-Hubble-expansion) velocities could represent a substantial part of the value. And in fact, the corresponding distance is considerably less than redshift-independent distance estimates of 45 to 60 million light years. Presuming the actual distance is a little over 50 million light years; the galaxy's apparent size of 5.8 by 2.2 arcmin suggests that it is about 90 thousand light years across.

Malvacée de 40-90 cm aux feuilles très découpées, les inférieures suborbiculaires en coeur à la base, crénelées ou divisées en segments profonds, longuement pétiolées ; les caulinaires découpées en 3-7 segments pennatifides. Fleurs roses de 3-6 cm, solitaires, à l'aisselle des feuilles, fasciculées au sommet. Calice accrescent, à segments largement triangulaires. 5 pétales émarginés.
Nombreuses étamines groupées et segmentées en deux (d'où les anthères réduites à une loge, s'ouvrant en travers). Celles-là sont soudées par leur filets en un tube dit staminal qui adhère à la base des pétales et enveloppe l'ovaire supère à placentation axile. Les styles sont eux aussi unis en une colonne centrale qui coulisse à l'intérieur du tube staminal, laissant les stigmates libres au sommet.
Ceux-ci ne s'épanouissent généralement que lorsque le tube staminal est flétri et tombe. De ce fait, comme les éléments mâles et femelles d'une même fleur ne sont pas mûrs en même temps, la pollinisation (rapprochement des gamétophytes, pollen sur stigmate) est dite croisée.

Old Orleans on Broad Street is gone. But coming soon is Georgie Porgies Buffet World.
There is also a Premier Inn hotel here.
Georgie Porgies is at 80 Broad Street.
It was the Islington Glassworks of 1815. Three-bay, three-storey centrepiece built as the owner's house. Stone strings between the floors, Doric porch. The windows were heavy architraves and lintels are probably of 1863 by J J Bateman, who added the wings then, when it became the Lying-In Hospital. Railings with Gothic piers by Martin & Chamberlain, 1869.
From: Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Hunter
There is a possibility that this is the following (from Heritage Gateway), so it is probably a Grade II listed building.
Built 1814 as Islington House for Rice Harris. Red brick and stucco; slate roof. Symmetrical building of 9 bays, the centre 3 of 2 1/2 storeys, the outer ones of 2 storeys and set back somewhat. The centre with central Tuscan porch with entablature with triglyph frieze and 2 sash windows each flanked by pilasters carrying a segmental arch. Broad band at first floor level. First floor with sash windows with cornices. Broad band at second floor level. Second floor with square casement windows within plain flat surrounds. Cornice and blocking course. The outer bays have, on the ground floor, windows with cornices and, on the first floor, windows with plain flat surrounds. All the windows of the outer bays altered to casements. The forecourt wall end railing built 'at the sole cost of 2 friends' apparently circa 1860.

Kaart van de Suriname rivier uit 1877 door G.P.H. Zimmermann, officier der infanterie.
In het uitgelichte segment rechtsboven op de kaart is de vaargeul met de meeste diepgang aangegeven vanaf de monding van de rivier bij de zee tot de stad Paramaribo. Net boven Paramaribo is een doorsnede profiel A-B over de rivier gemaakt van plantage Geijersvlijt naar plantage Belwaarde. Het segment geeft weer dat het diepste deel van de vaargeul in de buitenbocht ligt en dus niet in het midden van de rivier. Bij Belwaarde is de rivier bij laag water ruim 5 meter diep. Het diepe deel van de vaargeul verplaatst zich van de oostelijke oever bij Belwaarde naar de westelijke oever bij de stad.
De volgende plek waar de rivier een westelijke bocht maakt waardoor het diepe deel van de vaargeul aan de kant van de westelijke oever ligt is waar nu Paranam ligt en Samkalden. Daar was vroeger de eerste nederzetting Torarica die weer verloren is gegaan. De eerste gouverneur van Sommelsdijk had daar later zijn eigen plantage.
Joden die de inquisitie uit Europa waren ontvlucht hadden een goede reden om veel verder de rivier op te gaan voor nog meer veiligheid. Zij vestigen zich aan wat later de Joden Savanne wordt genoemd. De keuze van die plaats ligt ook aan het feit dat het net over de grens is van de vruchtbare kustvlakte naar het savannegebied. Maar er was nog een reden, het lag voorbij de grens bij l'Esperance tot waar zeilboten met 8 tot 10 voet diepgang nog konden komen. Een doorsnede C-D bij de Joden Savanne geeft weer dat de rivier daar bij laag water amper een meter diep is. Als een vijandig schip daar zou aankomen was er een lang recht stuk van de rivier om de vijand te kunnen ontdekken en hadden de Joden voldoende gelegenheid om te vluchten. Zodra het schip vastliep konden ze het vanaf de kant bestoken met musketten en veroveren.
Waar de Joden Savane is aangelegd was ook een natuurlijke drinkwaterbron aanwezig. In het savannegebied had je ook veel minder last van de muskieten. De Joden Savanne verdient een bijzondere plaats omdat het in de beginperiode van de kolonisatie groter was dan de stad Paramaribo. Doordat de plantages in het vruchtbare kleigebied aan de kust een veel grotere opbrengst hadden, en de plantages in het savannegebied door uitputting van de grond verloren gingen, wint de stad Paramaribo het uiteindelijk van de Joden Savanne en wordt het de hoofdstad van Suriname. Omdat de Joden in hun vrijheid van godsdienst in hun eigen Joodse Natie bevestigd werden door de gouverneur bouwen zij in 1687 op de Joden Savanne de eerste joodse synagoge in de Nieuwe Wereld. Maar door de teloorgang van de Joden Savanne en na een brand in 1830 raakt de synagoge in verval en is het sindsdien een ruïne. De joodse synagoge op Curcaçao is thans de oudste synagoge in de Nieuwe Wereld die nog in gebruik is.
In Paramaribo wordt in 1737 een joodse synagoge gebouwd, maar door verschil van mening tijdens de bouw tussen de Portugeze sephardische joden en Hoogduitse askenazische joden splitsen de sephardische joden zich af en bouwen een tweede joodse synagoge in de stad.

Day 5 (Segment 28)
Bridge site to Junction Creek Trailhead
Cruisin’ right along, I made it to Gudy’s Rest. A fantastic overlook with a bench honoring Gudy Gaskill, who made the Colorado Trail a reality. I stopped for a break and took in some of the final views. A very nice stop but Gudy’s bench was in the sun so I opted to relax on a rock bench hiding in the shade. Still very nice.
As hikers near the end of their journey, getting off of the trail is always on their mind and then how to get to an airport or bus station to travel home. Sometimes family and/or friends might meet them on the trail and provide transportation. Another option is to catch a hitch, which was my plan to get back to my car. Of course, I was hiking into a day hiking area, so any hiker encounters would be a possibility, since they would likely be parked at the trailhead.
Gudy’s Rest is about 4 miles from the trailhead, so I didn’t have too much further to go. And wouldn’t you know it, a couple of dayhikers arrived. Of course, now was time for my Yogi skills while chatting. (Yogi’ing is in honor of Yogi Bear who was always after a pic-a-nic basket. So, to yogi is to receive some food or other assistance from others who are interested in your trail tales.) They were very friendly and I was able to secure a ride from the trailhead! I just had to get there in time.
Now the goal was to make it to the trailhead by 2:00, when the friendly dayhikers agreed to pick me up. They were camped in a nearby Campground and not actually parked at the trailhead. It was after noon, so that would mean 4 miles in 2 hours. 2 miles an hour is definitely doable especially with the gentle terrain. Getting a ride and getting into town is motivation to move quickly. I did and made it to the trailhead about 1:35. I waited until they arrived and then enjoyed the short ride to the train station to my car. Thanks for the ride!
So that was it. Congrats to me for finishing the Colorado Trail! I started in 2015 and finished in 2021.
Today's assignment took us to the top of one of the skyscrapers that adorn the Houston skyline, from which I took this photo, which was stitched together from three individual shots by Autostitch.
William Fisher, the 20-year-old Buckeye from Muskingham County, recorded his experiences in three letters home; the first to his brother-in-law, the second to his mother, and the third to his sister. They are presented here in their entirety, but with light editing of spelling and punctuation to make them more readable. Occasionally, where his misspellings give character to his letters, the original spelling is preserved.
Fisher's letters are interesting in that they give a contrasting picture of life in the dull routine of an army camp and later upon his release from prison following a harrowing raid through enemy territory, and finally as a commentary on a similar raid conducted by the Confederate John Hunt Morgan through Fisher's home State in Union territory. The first letter is also noteworthy for Fisher's use of the word "taps" in reference to a drum call signaling the end of the day. This is an early use of the word several months before the somber bugle call that we now recognize, as Taps was even composed.

Mr. B. F. Richey
Dear Sir
I received your letter with Martha's, both with great pleasure to my self, and as I have been writing to Martha I thought I would try and scribble a few lines to you. Well Frank, it is now after dark and I have taken my seat on my bunk and by my side lays John Reed chewing his regular old tobacco, and the light I write by is a candle stuck in my banonet [bayonet] and it between my legs. Well Frank to do my best I can't think of anything to write only I wish that I was with you and then I think this old pen would be of no use to me. You may think by this that I am getting tired of soldiering but do not think it for a moment. I only wish to see you all again, and then I will go with Uncle Sam till volunteers are needed no longer. But I guess you can depend on me helping you harvest your wheat next harvest.
Well Frank I wish I had something of importance to write to you but I have not. There is nothing new. Everything is done here according to Hardee. First in the morning is roll call, then drill. Half past 12 dinner, 2 o'clock drill, half past 4 dress parade, 6 o'clock are roll call & taps, and this is done regular as a clock. Guard mounting at 9 o'clock. Well Frank you will have to excuse me this time and hope for the better the next time. Oh yes, tell Vivia when uncle comes home he will bring her a bell for her pet lamb, and if he doesn't she must put him in mind of it. Nothing more at Present.

My dear Mother,
Many days has passed since I have had the privaledge of addressing you in this way, and many hardships has been endured since then by us. But thank God we have come out safe through them all. But we are now Payroled [Paroled] prisinors of war. Well Mother I have but a few minutes to write before dark so I will have to hurry and write that you may hear from me with the rest of our Candlersville Friends. (The Boys are all writing.) Mother since we left Nashville I wrote you twice. Once on the Tenn River and my last in Mississippi, and after that I had no opportunity of writing. The Rebels got in pursuit of us in Ala and overtook us on the 30 of April. We fought them 4 hours that day and we whipped them that day badly and after that we had to fight them 5 days in succession. And during that time we wrode night and day and did not get any rest or sleep only while on our horses back. We were nearly give out for want of sleep and rest. And our horses were worn out. In 5 days we wrode 350 miles and were fighting the enemy the whole way. On the 3 day of May our ammunition gave out and about noon we were compelled to stop and feed. While feeding we were surrounded by 5 times our No. and we were compelled to surrender our selves up to rebels as prisinors of war. We were then with in 20 miles of Rome Georgia. The rebels took us to Rome Georgia and paroled us and started us for Richman [Richmond] via of Atlanta Ga via of Knoxville Tenn to Richman. We laid at Richman 3 days and then we were started for our lines at City Point Va. From Rome Ga to City Point we wrode on the [railroad] cars the whole distance about 850 miles. We were in their hands 12 days. We got to our Boats at City Point on the 15th of May. From City Point we came down the James River to the Chesapeake Bay and on to here. We landed here this morning at 9 oclock. We know not how long we will stay here. We will draw cloathing here and every thing we want necessary for comfort.
We hope, as we have commenced to travel, we may find our way to the old Buckeye State for a short visit. I must close and I will write soon again and give you all the perticulars of our trip through dixie. It is dark. I must close. You had better wait and not write till I write again [to] you. The Chandlersville boys are all O.K. Good by Mother,
Your son, William, after a good while you think.
I know. But I wrote as soon as I could.

My Dear Sister
As I have nothing perticular to do I thought I would write you a few lines hoping they might find you all enjoying good weather as when I left you. I have nothing perticular to write about this time as I know of. We left home the Monday after I was down at your house, and did not leave Zanesville until Tuesday morning. We reached here by noon and was mustered the same evening for pay. But we will not be paid off for some time yet.
On yesterday one hundred of our boys was detailed and mounted and armed with cavalry arms for a scout after John Morgan. They started last evening and will probably be gone for some time.
The Rebel John Morgan is making a raid in our own state. He is near Cincinnati. He is thought to be making for Camp Dennison. His force is estimated at 5,000 strong. Gov. Todd [David Tod, Governor of Ohio 1862 - 1864] has ordered out all the militia in the southern part of the state. Some 30 county in all is represented here now. The militia has been pouring in here every day since last Monday. They have been drilling and organizing in companies. Gov. Todd was here today and made them a speech. I went to hear him. He made a good speech. He said one half of the militia now in Camp Chase might go home, for he said he thought that before night John Morgan and his whole command would be ours. If that comes true it will be mighty gay, for it will be the first time he ever was caught.
We have cheering news today from Port Hudson and other parts of our army. Everything appears to be going on now with a rush. As for any other news I guess I have none. It is still thought by all the boys that we are not exchanged yet, and many of the boys intend lighting out when they get paid off.
Well I guess I had better close as I've nothing more to write. I hope Frank has got done harvesting by this time. If he has not tell him he must not go down too heavy for jug, for it has a bad effect. Especially for the first round or so.
Has Frank been to High Hill yet? If so what do they think of John Officer and I? Or did they know us? John Officer took a butternut off of Allen Reed the Sunday before we left, at Sugar Grove.
Well Martha I guess I will close hoping to hear from you soon.
I remain your Affectionate
Bro. William A. Fisher

Segment 7 begins at the Goldhill Trailhead near Breckenridge, CO. Access to Breckenridge is easy via a free bus ride. The Summit Stage bus stop is not far from the trailhead.
I was hiking toward Leadville where I had left my car at the Leadville Hostel. Ownership of the Leadville Hostel has changed since I stayed there. It was $25 for a night in the bunkroom where I somehow managed to get a few hours of sleep despite some snorers. It was a very nice hostel; I would be surprised if it wasn't still.
I took the Lake County Link (pay $5 on bus) from Leadville to Frisco Station where I picked up the Summit Stage. I was hiking by 0900 on a bright, sun shiny day. The first several miles were fairly easy although mostly exposed. Evidence of the pine beatle devastation was clearly visible once again.
It was an awesome hike. The views are spectacular. Maybe the best I've seen (to this point) even better than GA Pass. Once above treeline, it is sidehill with some extremely steep areas. There were some patches of melting snow along the way.
There were quite a few CT hikers out on this day. After hiking about 12 miles which included up and over the high point of 12,495 feet, I stopped for the night. I was just short of the end of the segment.
