This photo shows female students of the Kherson Mechanical Engineering College.
There were only four girls and thirty boys in their group, and they were studying to become electrical technicians.
One of the students was my grandmother Galina (second from the left). The names of the other girls (from left to right): Lidiya (Lida), Valentina (Valya), and Alla. The photo was taken around 1955.
My grandmother chose such an unusual profession for a woman at that time after watching a Soviet propaganda film in a movie theater, which portrayed the cheerful and fulfilling lives of electricians working at a large factory.
After graduating, she went on to work at such a large mechanical engineering plant and stayed there until her retirement.

Also hair stylist, though she refused to wash her fur while I was taking photos. She was interested by the nail varnish because she isn’t usually allowed close to it & (obviously) I was offering a bribe just out of the shot! Happy Caturday.

Even though the ground crew of the B-Wing sq. never really see any real combat, their resolve to keep their pilots flying knows no boundaries.
transgender people have courage like i have never seen in any one group of people before..they face adversaty without fear and show alot of moxie in their quest to follow their dreams of being true to whom they really are in their heart..that is something that should be admired, not destroyed.
every year many transgender people are murdered , many families are left waiting for justice..
the few following examples are quite shocking.. (these are just five out of hundreds)
.
.
Erika Keels (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; 3/22/07) Erika, a 20-year-old black transgender woman, was murdered on March 22, 2007, on North Broad Street in Philadelphia. Witnesses saw an assailant eject Erika from his car and intentionally run her over four times, killing her and leaving the scene. A medical examiner’s report supports these eyewitness accounts. But police ruled Erika’s death an accident and have refused to conduct an investigation. The driver, Roland Button, was later apprehended, but he has yet to face criminal charges–including “hit and run” charges. When Ms. Keels’ friends, who are themselves trans, questioned police officials about the classification of her death as an accident, they were asked to disclose their “birth” names and told they were “trying to make something out of nothing.”

Duanna Johnson, a 40-year-old African American transgender woman. In February 2008, Duanna was picked up and arrested by Memphis, Tennessee, police officers Bridges McRae and J. Swain. She was pinned down and beaten by the two men in a Memphis police jail after she refused to respond to anti-gay and anti-transgender slurs. The assault was captured on video, which aired on several regional newscasts. In an interview given to FOX 13, Duanna spoke about her experiences. “As [Officer McRae] was calling me, he said ‘hey he-she, come over here’” Johnson told FOX 13 reporters, “I knew he couldn’t be talking to me because that’s not my name.” Duanna Johnson received national media attention this past June when she went public about the brutality she suffered at the hands of two Memphis Police Officers. She became “the public face of our community’s campaign against racism, homophobia, and transphobia” according to a statement from the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center. On Monday Nov 10, according to news reports, Duanna was shot “execution style” between Hollywood and Staten Avenue in Memphis, Tenn.[21]

Angie Zapata was a trans woman who was murdered on July 17, 2008, in Greeley, Colorado. Her death was the first ever case involving a transgender victim to be ruled a hate crime.[23] Colorado is one of only eleven states that protect transgender victims under hate crime laws in the United States. Allen Andrade, who learned eighteen-year-old Angie was transgender after meeting her and spending several days with her, beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. In his arrest affidavit, Andrade calls Zapata "it",[24] and during his trial a tape was played of a phone conversation in which he told his girl friend "gay things need to die".[25] Andrade's attorneys used a gay panic defense, implying that Andrade suddenly "snapped" when he learned Zapata was not born biologically female. On April 22, 2009, Andrade was found guilty of first degree murder, hate crimes, and car/ID theft. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[26]

Tyra Hunter (1970 – August 7, 1995) was an African-American transsexual woman who died after being injured as a passenger in a car accident and refused medical care.[1][2] Emergency medical technicians at the scene of the accident uttered derogatory epithets and withdrew medical care after discovering that she had male genitalia, and ER staff at DC General Hospital subsequently provided dilatory and inadequate care.
.
.
.
Gwen Araujo of Newark, California (died October 2002), an American teenage trans woman, was killed by four men, two of whom she had been raped by, who beat and strangled her after discovering she was transsexual.[7][8][9] Two of the defendants were convicted of second-degree murder,[10] but not convicted on the requested hate crime enhancements. The other two defendants pleaded guilty or no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In at least one of the trials, a trans panic defense - an extension of the gay panic defense - was employed.[10][11]

23 trans victims so far in 2011..
My mom sent me a Christmas hat/sock set knowing that someone at work would know what do do with it. Gwyn, a fellow technician, wore the hat and Alexander Hamilton wore one of the socks tied around his neck like a scarf. The set was part of an "ugly" collection - along the lines of the awful Christmas sweater tradition and what makes this hat especially memorable (and hysterical) are the blinking lights, which unfortunately, you can't see. They take tacky to a whole new level.
So, thank you, Mom. We truly did enjoy the photoshoot with your gift. I just wish we could have done the hat more justice!

Technicians at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have completed applying thermal protection system material to the launch vehicle stage adapter (LVSA) of NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for Artemis III, which will land astronauts on the Moon to advance long-term lunar exploration and scientific discovery and inspire the Artemis Generation. The LVSA is a cone-shaped element connecting the mega rocket’s core stage to its interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS), partially enclosing it and protecting its avionics and electrical systems from the extreme pressures, sounds, and temperatures during launch and flight.
Teams at Marshall began applying the thermal protection system material earlier this spring. Unlike other parts of the SLS rocket, the thermal protection system material for the LVSA is applied entirely by hand using a spray gun. During application, the technicians use a thin measuring rod to gauge the proper thickness. Once the thermal protection system has cured, certain areas are sanded down to meet parameters. The entire process takes several months.
The LVSA is fully manufactured at Marshall by NASA, lead contractor Teledyne Brown Engineering, and the Jacobs Space Exploration Group’s ESSCA contract. The LVSA for Artemis III is the last of its kind as future SLS rockets will transition to its next, more powerful Block 1B configuration beginning with Artemis IV.
NASA is working to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon under Artemis. SLS is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with the Orion spacecraft, advanced spacesuits and rovers, the Gateway in orbit around the Moon, and commercial human landing systems. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and supplies to the Moon in a single mission.

We went to the legendary Lick Observatory located on Mt. Hamilton high above the Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. It was a special night for photographers. Once the telescope was in place, the lights went out, and all that was left was dark glowing red. Eyes adapt well to darkness, which takes about 10 minutes. A dark red light is used so that the human eyes can retain night vision. This is a 210º fisheye lens shot pointed straight up. At the bottom you see the technician in front of the control panel. In the center is the refracting telescope and the opened dome.

Technicians prepare to move NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft from a shipping container onto a work stand inside the Astrotech Space Operations Facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California in this image from Oct. 4, 2021.
DART was launched on Nov. 23, 2021, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg. The spacecraft will intentionally smash into the moonlet Didymos today to see if this method of asteroid deflection—known as the kinetic impactor technique—would be a viable way to protect our planet if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth were discovered in the future.

Technicians at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans moved the engine section of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon, into position for the final join of the core stage Feb. 22. The engine section is the bottom-most portion of the 212-foot-tall core stage. It is the last of five major elements that is needed to connect the stage into one major structure. In addition to its miles of cabling and hundreds of sensors, the engine section is a crucial attachment point for the four RS-25 engines and two solid rocket boosters that produce a combined 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff and flight. During launch and flight, liquid propellants from the liquid hydrogen tank and liquid oxygen tanks are delivered through the engine section to the four RS-25 engines. The engine section also includes the avionics that help steer the engines after liftoff.
Next, teams will join the engine section to the core stage for the second SLS rocket. After the join is complete, teams will begin to add each of the four RS-25 engines one by one to complete the stage. The completely assembled stage with its four RS-25 engines will be shipped to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida later this year. The SLS rocket is the only rocket capable of carrying astronauts in Orion around the Moon in a single mission.

Liquid fuel rocket Aggregat 4. Original replica at the Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde, Usedom Island
"The liquid fuel rocket developed and tested in Peenemünde with the participation of many technicians, engineers and scientists was produced in large numbers from 1943 in underground production facilities at the Mittelwerk in the Harz mountains near Nordhausen.
As "Vergeltungswaffe ["retribution weapon"] 2" ("V-2"), the missiles were first fired at British cities and then at other European locations. The hoped-for moral and military success remained below the expectations of the German military despite the extensive losses to the civilian population concerned.
Several thousand civilians, concentration camp prisoners and prisoners of war were killed in series production and during deployment.
After the end of the Second World War, the victorious powers made use of the technology and that of the experts and developed launchers for military and civilian use from the Aggregat 4." (translated from a display at the Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde)
Due to its target inaccuracy, the V-2 could essentially only be used as a weapon of terror against the civilian population.
As a matter of fact the V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into space by crossing the Kármán line (defined as the altitude of 100 kilometres) on 20 June 1944.
Being able to understand the charm of the clear graphic design of the rocket I was yet amazed at how much the Belgian artist Hergé was obviously inspired by the deadly weapon when he designed the moon rocket for his comic hero Tintin (see www.tintin.com/fr/albums/objectif-lune# and picture below).
I quote Wikipedia:
"Scientific aspects of the albums Objectif Lune and On a Marché sur la Lune
These two parts of the lunar adventure were published in 1954, fifteen years before the Apollo 11 mission, and even before the first satellite (Sputnik). Hergé's technical sources are mainly the programs and researches of Wernher von Braun and Hermann Oberth, who planned, from before the war, to cause an impact on the Moon with a rocket [...]. This same Oberth happens to be the technical advisor for a film by Fritz Lang The Woman on the Moon (Frau im Mond, 1929)." (translated from French Wikipedia entry)
"Hergé based his Moon rocket on the designs of the V-2 rocket which had been developed by German scientists during World War II. The red-and-white checker pattern on Hergé's rocket was based upon an illustration of a V-2 which Hergé had come upon in Leslie Simon's 1947 book German Research in World War II." (Wikipedia)

"As responsible scientists and technicians the members of the soil survey have a responsibility to explain their information, how it was obtained, what it seems to mean, and how good or how uncertain the information may be. Without such a responsibility to the customers, the public, and to science there would not be the keen sense of pride and accomplishment of being professionals." (Dr. Richard W. Arnold, Director, Soil Survey Division, USDA-NRCS; 1980 to 1996)
Soils are the basis of life and the foundation for agriculture. (Genesis 2:7: Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.)
Yet, during the past few decades, focus on the importance of soils has diminished, coupled with harsh man-made and natural conditions that have resulted in soil erosion and soil nutrient depletion. Without vibrant and healthy soil, plants and animals cannot flourish. Therefore, it is vital that we have a deep understanding of soil so we may conserve and protect this very valuable natural resource.
The word “soil,” like many common words, has several meanings. In its traditional meaning, soil is the natural medium for the growth of land plants, whether or not it has discernible soil horizons. This meaning is still the common understanding of the word, and the greatest interest in soil is centered on this meaning. Soil covers the earth’s surface as a continuum, except on bare rock, in areas of perpetual frost or deep water, or on the bare ice of glaciers. In this sense, soil has a thickness that is determined by the rooting depth of plants.
The images provided in the Soil Science Photo Gallery offer a unique perspective of the world underfoot. They are designed to be used by students, naturalists, scientists, or anyone seeking a better understanding of the natural world in which we live. In general, the images and accompanied information are an overview of the contemporary process of describing, classifying, and correlating soils. These materials will assist the reader to increase their knowledge about soil as a natural, evolving feature of the earth’s surface and its critical role in sustaining life.
Many of the images were photographed over a 35-year career as a soil scientist with USDA-NRCS and as an international soil consultant. Others were downloaded from various web-based articles, publications, photo albums, etc. Where known, the images have been sourced, cited, or credited to the original author or photographer and a link provided to the original and related sites. Otherwise, it may be assumed they have been provided by USDA-NRCS (SCS) staff. Please keep in mind, over time links may be broken as web sites are changed or files deleted or moved.
In order to make comparison easier, they have been revised to a standard size and format. Soil profiles may have been edited to remove extraneous objects such as tools, scales, markers, cross shadows, etc. or to clarify features. If the image is of a soil or landscape outside the U.S., the standard ISO two-digit country code has been provided. (i.e., AU indicating Australia)

Mateo Hernandez, Navigation Systems Technician, Jupiter Yards
Personal Log:
My short trip to Mars-Orbit is over and I am once again on transport to Jupiter Yards. This time, however, I am accompanied by several nav systems, tested and ready for installation. I had a wonderful time on the construction platform watching the automated arms piece together my engineering jigsaw puzzle.
Our Captain for this planet-hop is interested in my photography. We talked about some of the shots I took on the trip to Mars and she informed me that there would be two cargo barges unloading on the summit platform as we were passing. She helped me line up the shot and I don\'t think I could have asked for better lighting...
This has to be my favorite render so far. The lighting is clearly inspired by the wonderful digital artist Paul Pepera at www.artstation.com/paulpepera . A big thank you goes to mecabricks for the tips for fog and dispersion! Somehow, everything worked out with this build. I wasn't really sure how to make an obviously heavier platform than the previous one while still maintaining the shape and structure but I think this works. I\'ve been holding off on uploading another shot of just the little accompanying ships but now I think I have enough new ones to warrant it.
She's nearly unmatched in her ability to create and in intelligence.
Creator of the most resilient and mysterious mechanical objects in the multiverse, hardly anybody knows about her existence.
I've been working on her for quite a while. She's finally to a point where I consider her finished. I wanted a more stylized and recognizeable character. Although she doesn't have the best of those qualities, I'm pleased with her nonetheless.
Members of some unknown alien race, tall and bipedal creatures. They are thought to be descendants of frog-like amphibian animals, as their anatomy gives hints on that.
In case you are wondering how their heads are built, I should say that they are constructed of those UFO saucer parts.
Dressed in a cleanroom suit to prevent contamination, Optics Technician Jeff Gum aligns a replacement Focal Plane Assembly (FPA) with a powerful three-dimensional microscope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. This FPA will be installed on the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument, which has unique components that are individually tailored to see in a particular infrared wavelength range. By using the microscope, Gum ensures the FPA detectors are characterized and ready for installation onto NIRCam, the James Webb Space Telescope's primary imager that will see the light from the earliest stars and galaxies that formed in the universe.
