Traditional caravans and public debate inspire Roma people to vote
A NGO of young Roma women and men from Moldova decided to conduct an unconventional awareness campaign to promote conscious voting in communities with the largest Roma populations during the June 2015 local election campaign. “Armed” with traditional horse-driven carts and an orchestra of Romani musicians, for nearly two weeks the Union of Roma Youth from Moldova "Tarna-Rom" organized the National "Let's vote!" Caravan.
It also advocated for the importance of women’s participation in elections, not only as voters, but also as candidates.

In support of the grid lines on the Mediterranean floor, I am highlighting the area of the "cross-area" of what became the Greek National Flag.
Until the Academic authorities officially label this intersection between North-South, and East-West double grid lines, I am calling it the "Heather Davis Convergence" in thanks to a wonderful couple, Heather Davis and Jim Issler.
The explicit location is in the Sicilia Basin, Google Earth gps 36.090561N, 17.310995E.
Physically, the convergence is located 137 miles at 115 degrees from Siracusa, Sicily;
165 miles at 83 degrees from Valletta, Malta; and 236 miles at 260 degrees from Sapientza, Peloponessos, Greece.
At first, I was tempted to try and call it the "Maltese Cross", or the "Jerusalem Cross", since it does display other geometrics, convergences, and diagonal lines through it, but I opted to keep it on the simple side showing the double lines/canals/terraces that form a cross shape among the many other grid lines. Heavy sediment deposits obscures a lot of it, as the main Convergence slopes from top left at 10,300 feet deep to bottom right of 13,500 feet deep, 80 miles high by 110 miles wide.
For all the detail fanatics out there, of which I am one, the gps location of the convergence is just 14 miles North of a circular-styled "rise", possibly a major temple platform, at 35.554830N, 17.300010E. I now realize that this entire area might BE related to the Maltese Cross mythology icon, and it's meaning.... drum roll... Middle of the Earth! Med i terranean.
Sad to me, but 20 miles south of the convergence is an oddly colored band of probable obscuring done by some real Photoshop Pros, (35.491615N, 17.305422E) extending in a 4-mile wide band 40 miles to the West and 40 miles to the East. The "Powers that Be" know what is here, "something very important".
It doesn't need to be said that there are many King/Queen images in this area, headed North, facing today's West, in the 12,000 feet deep range.
Again, I am guessing at a minimum of 25,000 years ago for this construction to take place, given it's depth.
Another amazing "co-in-ci-dence?", is that if you enter the gps of the North latitude of this convergence point, but change the longtitude figure to the exact opposite side of the globe 36.090561N, 162.300000W, and back off the Google Earth image to 700 miles eye altitude, you get the ancient human habitat triangle area mentioned earlier, North of Midway/Hawaii.
www.flickr.com/photos/10749411@N03/5284437667/
The "Pacific, North latitude opposite" area is saturated with major geometric convergence lines, at 17,000 feet deep.
So the net result is "Middle of the Earth"..."Med i terranean", on one side, and Gaia...Ahh-why-yee...Hawaii..."Mother Earth" on the Pacific side. This is amazingly unusual, in my mind. It is as if both sides of the planet were the same culture, 100,000 years ago.
TAO supports orphans & vulnerable children by training their carers to create agri-businesses. Since 2011, we have introduced an innovative, essential and highly successful component into our projects. We have worked with our beneficiaries to provide the training to work together in groups and negotiate with commercial buyers to receive good market prices for their produce. This means they have to sell in bulk and that their produce has to be high quality. To ensure the latter, we have provided tarpaulins on which grains can be dried cleanly.
Here our delivery partner’s Agri-business Officer, Kenneth inspects the quality of the grain.

two definitions from Hawksworth et al. 1995:
1. "A lichen is a stable self-supporting association of a fungus (mycobiont) and an alga or cyanobacterium (photobiont)"
2. "A lichen is an ecologically obligate, stable mutualism between an exhabitant fungal partner and an inhabitant population of extracellularly located unicellular or filamentous algal or cyanobacterial cells." This definition excludes such things as marine algae with inhabitant fungal partners.
Hawksworth and Grube 2020 - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7497170/ :
We can therefore re‐define the lichen symbiosis as: ‘A lichen is a self‐sustaining ecosystem formed by the interaction of an exhabitant fungus and an extracellular arrangement of one or more photosynthetic partners and an indeterminate number of other microscopic organisms’.
from Simon Schewendener's book on lichen published in German in Basel, Switzerland, 1869:
“As the result of my researches, the lichens are not simple plants, not individuals in the ordinary sense of the word; they are, rather, colonies, which consist of hundreds of thousands of individuals, of which, however, one alone plays the master, while the rest, forever imprisoned, prepare the nutriment for themselves and their master. This master is a fungus of the class Ascomycetes, a parasite which is accustomed to live upon others’ work. Its slaves are green algae, which it has sought out, or indeed caught hold of, and compelled into its service. It surrounds them, as a spider its prey, with a fibrous net of narrow meshes, which is gradually converted into an impenetrable covering, but while the spider sucks its prey and leaves it dead, the fungus incites the algae found in its net to more rapid activity, even to more vigorous increase....”
The word symbiosis was coined by Heinrich Anton de Bary, botanist, mycologist and lichenologist, in the monograph "Die Erscheinung der Symbiose" (Strasbourg, 1879) as "the living together of unlike organisms".
from wikipedia:
Although lichens had been recognized as organisms for quite some time, it was not until 1867, when Swiss botanist Simon Schwendener proposed his dual theory of lichens, that lichens are a combination of fungi with algae or cyanobacteria, whereby the true nature of the lichen association began to emerge.[120] Schwendener's hypothesis, which at the time lacked experimental evidence, arose from his extensive analysis of the anatomy and development in lichens, algae, and fungi using a light microscope. Many of the leading lichenologists at the time, such as James Crombie and Nylander, rejected Schwendener's hypothesis because the common consensus was that all living organisms were autonomous.[120]
Other prominent biologists, such as Heinrich Anton de Bary, Albert Bernhard Frank, Melchior Treub and Hermann Hellriegel were not so quick to reject Schwendener's ideas and the concept soon spread into other areas of study, such as microbial, plant, animal and human pathogens.[120][121] When the complex relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts were finally identified, Schwendener's hypothesis began to gain popularity. Further experimental proof of the dual nature of lichens was obtained when Eugen Thomas published his results in 1939 on the first successful re-synthesis experiment.[120]

Soldiers from the 173rd Brigade Support Battalion have been supporting Exercise ARRCADE FUSION at RAF St. Mawgan, Cornwall, UK, during November 2014.
The soldiers have travelled from their base in Vicenza, Italy, as the US Army Europe contribution to the exercise. Whilst on exercise the soldiers will play the part of infantry units, reacting to, and providing feed back for, the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps headquarters during the ARRCs main exercise of the year. The exercise also provides the 173rd with valuable training in a multinational joint operations environment.
Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 14 sees Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) tested whilst it commands two divisional and one brigade headquarters from across Europe and North America. The exercise swells the 450-strong headquarters to close to 1000 personnel and is designed to ensure the Innsworth-based NATO headquarters is ready for any potential short-notice call-up it may receive in 2015.
Participating in this exercise are units and troops from ARRC Partner Nations Czech Republic, Canada, Italy, the United States, as well as personnel from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and others – all-in-all totaling some 2000 military and civilian personnel.
Additionally, FUSION will present the headquarters with an opportunity to further develop training the ARRC’s capability as a NATO Force Structure Joint Task Force Headquarters.
An operational concept conceived by NATO, the JTF builds a land-centric headquarters, like the ARRC, into an element capable of commanding an entire military theatre of operations. For ARRC, this means adding both air and maritime personnel to its structure so that it can command air, land, and sea troops. To this end, military personnel from NATO Air and Naval forces will train with the ARRC and its many subordinate units for this exercise.
NATO has tasked the ARRC to train this way because in 2015 the HQ will be one of the first NATO JTF’s held by NATO for short-notice, rapid recall tasking.

Kaiserslautern garrison welcomes new commander
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom grabbed hold of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s guidon Friday, accepting responsibility to provide support and services to thousands of U.S. Soldiers, civilians and family members in the Kaiserslautern area.
Zetterstrom took command of the garrison during a ceremony held at Armtstrong’s Club on Vogelweh Housing Area. Dozens of U.S. and German military officials and civilians attended the event. Zetterstrom is looking forward to his new job, he said.
“I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and professionalism of the garrison staff,” Zetterstrom said. “I look forward to working with the outstanding Soldiers and civilians of the garrison headquarters.”
The highlight of the ceremony was the traditional passing of the unit colors. Throughout history, the guidon has showed the commander is present and it served as a rally point for troops on the battlefield. Soldiers from U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment served as color bearers and color guards.
During the ceremony, both incoming and outgoing commanders offered remarks.
Lt. Col. Kevin Hutchison, who now heads to Fort Sill, Okla., for his next assignment, took time to thank garrison staff and other leaders in the Kaiserslautern Military Community. He also spoke in German to thank local officials for supporting the command. His time in command will not be forgotten, he said.
“I will miss the job, the camaraderie and the great team that we have in the Kaiserslautern garrison,” Hutchison said.
Commanding a garrison in Kaiserslautern in unique, due to its collocation with a large U.S. Air Force contingent, said Col. William Butcher, commander of United States Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg. The Kaiserslautern garrison supports dozens of tenant units, to include the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Stars and Stripes and the 357th Air and Missile Defense Detachment.
Under Hutchison, the garrison supported the deployment of 31 units from the area and the reintegration of more than 4,000 Soldiers, civilians and family members following deployments, Butcher said.
Hutchison led the garrison as the Army acquired Sembach Kaserne from the U.S. Air Force and began preparing the installation for new Army units moving from Mannheim and Heidelberg.
That included developing relationship with key German leaders in the Sembach area. During his command, the garrison underwent countless renovations and construction projects to support Kaiserslautern’s growing military community – most recently opening new child care centers at Sembach and Landstuhl.
For officers, a command is an honor and privilege that is often tough, demanding and arduous, Butcher said.
“It’s fitting that we gather together on occasions like this one and recognize contributions, bid farewell and welcome new blood,” Butcher said.
Zetterstrom, an Army engineer and West Point graduate from Clifton Park, N.Y., most recently served a tour in southern Afghanistan. Previously, he served as deputy commander with the Buffalo, N.Y.-district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
For Zetterstrom, the command position returns him and his family to Germany, where he began his Army career as a platoon leader with the Bamberg-based 82nd Engineer Battalion. Other assignments include both staff and command positions with the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, N.C., and the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, N.Y. During his career, Zetterstrom has deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
He and his wife Erin, also a New Yorker, have three children. He holds a master's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Missouri.
“He is no stranger to the business of military construction, which will serve the command well considering the breadth of construction and renovation which will occur in the coming years,” Butcher said.
Dutch officers who served with Zetterstrom in Afghanistan also attended the ceremony, as did many local German officials.
“I look forward to continuing and building the critical relationships with our German and European friends and allies,” Zetterstrom said.
