Whenever you add a user to Ubuntu, either by installing Ubuntu or manually adding a new user, Ubuntu creates a /home/username directory for that user with their username. The /home/username directory is often referred to as just "the home directory". This page offers some information about what, exactly, this directory is, what's kept there, and how you can use it.
You can have as many /home/username directories as you have users.
Each user has full read/write/execute access to his or her /home/username directory.
Each user can make their /home/username directory unreadable by other users.
Each user can fully customize their Desktop layout/background, sounds, window manager, applications, etc.
Where your documents, pictures, music, videos, audio, and pretty much everything else can be stored.
The only place (with the exclusion of removable drives and the /tmp directory) within the Ubuntu file system where a user can freely create/modify/remove files and directories without needing root permissions or the sudo command.
Software can be installed into the home directory, giving users who do not have administrative rights to the system the ability to use applications they would like. An example of software that installs to the /home/username directory is Wine.
You can do this by creating a /home/username/bin directory, compiling software from source and installing it to the /home/username/bin directory, or by downloading binary-only software that you keep in the /home/username/bin directory. Then add the new binary path to your $PATH list, by putting this, for example, into your /home/username/.bashrc file.
Executable binaries/scripts in your /home/username/bin directory will be accessible from the command line, or by pressing Alt+F2 in Gnome/KDE/Xfce.
If you're not sure how to add that line to the file, open a terminal and type gedit /home/username/.bashrc. Then paste the above line at the very end of that file, save it, and close the terminal.
Since Hardy, Ubuntu can be reinstalled while preserving home even without separate /home: see UbuntuReinstallation.
If you wish to share a separate /home between several Linux distributions, do not forget to use different usernames.

So after a 16 day trip involving 6 plane flights, many miles in a car, countless hours in the water and way too much junk food, I am home! I must admit to having mixed feelings about being back. On one hand I miss the ocean so much I want to cry but on the other I am tired and ready to get back to my regular life.
I actually started to miss my Utah routine and it is perhaps no surprise that in the two days I've been home I have already unpacked, met with my trainer, spent tons of money getting healthy organic food, booked nearly 20 hours of work, held my monthly book club meeting and tomorrow I am having my voice lesson. As much as I miss the ocean I have to admit that I missed all of these parts of my life. Its too bad that I can't have it all- why can't Utah move and be by an ocean!
It may sound cheesy but at least I have the memory and when I feel depressed I can pull the sound, rhythm and peace of the waves out of my pocket and remember. I can also look back with great satisfaction at all I accomplished on this trip. Its funny you think going to the North Shore, Oahu for the 4th time would get old or boring but each vacation feels different. This one was wonderful because it was so active. We were constantly walking, swimming, hiking, surfing and more. There wasn't as much soaking in the sun as in other trips and I found it immensely satisfying.
Since I started working out I haven't had a real 'I did it' moment. In other words, I have not felt like I have accomplished much in regards to my fitness/cardiovascular health. I have seen the weight loss but the huffing and puffing, the fatigue, and aches and pains seem the same. Especially surfing in Hawaii was the first time I felt a greater physical capacity. I felt like I could do more and that was great!
On the downside I did not eat very well on my trip so it was important for me to get back working with my trainer the day after I came home- jet lag and all. I gained 5 lbs in Hawaii but it was worth it. What a great break! It has motivated me to have more 'I did it' moments and my trainer and I set a goal to lose 15 lbs by the end of the summer- I want to get down to 250. I am also recommitting myself to the No Fast Food Challenge that I temporarily abandoned on the island. If anyone wants to join me that'd be great!
Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a little update. I am back home and happy to be here, even while missing the ocean each moment. I can't say enough of my gratitude to my family, friends, colleagues and everyone else who made my trip possible. Thank you! I needed it so badly. It allowed me to reflect on the crazy year I've been through and set new goals for the year to come. It helped me remember that the world is big and magnificent (I've seen a lot of my apartment in recent months and it was good to get out!). Thank you also to everyone who encouraged and loved me as I have struggled through this fitness quest. It has been harder than I ever imagined and I could not have done it alone. I feel so fortunate. Thank you and Mahalo!
By the way, I got a $651 refund- yes you read right, refund- for my surgery! Turns out the insurance covered more than the doctor expected so I was greeted by a large check upon arriving home. Does it get better than that? I still can't believe it. I decided in return for my good luck to finally order the kindle I've been pining after for like 2 years. Best summer ever!


Thousands of Hull residents have headed to the polls in a huge council election.
The "all-out" election has seen every single seat contested as new-look council wards get brought in for the very first time.
Following a government ward boundary review which has ditched two Hull wards and shaken up the city's political make-up, the number of council seats have been reduced from 59 to 57.
The changes mean every council seat across Hull was up for grabs in this election, in a vote which brought a completely new look to the Guildhall.
In the early hours of Friday morning, the results revealed Labour had a reduced majority, with the Lib Dems increasing their council seats to 24 - just seven behind.
The Mail brought you the very latest results as they came in. Follow it as it happened in our live blog below plus any latest reaction.
The ex-councillor who was first elected to Hull City Council in 1971 failed to get a seat in the West Carr ward.
Hull's Liberal Democrat leader Mike Ross says the city's election result "serves notice" on the Labour group as his party made gains in an action-packed evening at the Guildhall.
The Mail's Angus Young has cast his eye tonight on who has come out a winner and loser from the dramatic night at the Guildhall.
Find out every councillor elected in Hull on a dramatic night in the Guildhall.
Veteran councilor Terry Geraghty has been beaten as three Lib Dems took the final ward to be declared.
Rob Pritchard, Christine Randall and Chris Randall have been elected.
The Liberal Democrats have taken all 3 seats in Beverley and Newland, including Hull's Lib Dem leader Mike Ross.
He will be joined by his two colleagues Paul Drake-Davis and Dave McCobb.
Two wards are yet to declare tonight - Beverley & Newland and West Carr.
West Carr is undergoing a recount with just 10 votes reportedly in it.
Two Liberal Democrats and one Labour candidate have been elected.
John Robinson and Abi Bell have been elected for the Lib Dems, with Marjorie Brabazon elected for Labour.
Confirmation as we reported from earlier that the University ward has gone to the two Labour candidates, Gwen Lunn and Steve Wilson.
Labour get three seats in Orchard Park & Greenwood, with Deborah Matthews, Rosie Nicola and Gary Waering elected.
The graphic on the council's election website shows how we stand so far, with 14 seats still to go.
Find the full results for every ward declared so far here.
Labour have got three Labour candidates elected in Southcoates ward, including council leader Stephen Brady.
Labour has taken a clean sweep with three councillors elected in Sutton ward.
There's a recount underway in West Carr - just 10 votes in it!
John Hewitt, John Black and Julia Conner have won the three seats in Longhill for Labour.
36 seats have been declared so far in Hull's council elections.
Labour currently has 16 seats, the Lib Dems have 16 seats and the Conservatives have two.
Labour win three seats in North Carr as Peter Clark, Anita Harrison and Phil Webster retain their seats.
It was the lowest turnout in the city with just over 14 per cent.
Results coming thick and fast.
Lib Dems making gains here and there but probably not enough to dislodge Labour.
Labour have won the two seats available in Central - Shane McMurray and Aneesa Akbar have taken it.
Julie Greenhill, Ryan Langley and Cheryl Pane have been elected for the Liberal Democrats.
Labour have won the three seats in the St Andrews & Dockland ward - Nadine Fudge, Daren Hale and Haraldo Herrera-Richmond.
The Lib Dems have won all three seats in the Drypool ward.
Labour have won the two council seats in Ings ward - Alan Gardiner and Denise Thompson.


I'm so happy you pointed out my problem: I've felt "half cooked" the whole time and could not find the problem. I was confused and used Vedanta like a dictionary because I was convinced that I only need to understand a special thing to "solve" the problem, like a lesson in school.
So I do my homework and understand the experience problem. I had something like a "samadhi" but I as a limited person could not be aware of this. And it could not be the Self, because I was aware of it. So it was the reflection and I could observe it as the Self, me.
James: Yes. As you say, the solution is to understand the nature of experience problem. Here is the teaching. If you have "an experience of the Self" and value it, you will eventually be frustrated because all experiences that begin end. It is delusory to think that there is a permanent experience. The Self is not an experience. It is what exists before and after experience. So the only experiential access is through knowledge, which is the removal of the ignorance-inspired belief that you are an experiencing entity that is changed by what it experiences. You are the eternal witnessing entity that is unaffected by experience.
Dominik: But I need further support. There is something, perhaps the ego, which permanently resists the thought that there is only one Self. I cannot find the logic that explains it for me.
James: Here is an example for you to contemplate. Electricity is one, but it appears as heat when it flows through a heater, as light when it flows through a light bulb, and as sound when it flows through a radio. The one Self appears to be many different selves because it animates an endless variety of conscious entities. The entities "borrow" their consciousness from you, pure consciousness. Dominik is not conscious in his own right. Whatever sentiency he enjoys is a reflection of you, pure awareness.
Dominik: The second point is nididhyasana. I am happy that I am "half cooked," and the fire for Vedanta comes back. But I don't know if I interpret nididhyasana correctly.
I see your new Skype offer, and perhaps it would be great option at this point. If you agree, we can do one. I live in Germany, so the EST fits for me. This week I am at home and up from the 8th of April I am in my general work schedule and out of home from Monday to Friday between 8 am to 5 am.
James: Yes, let's have a Skype chat. I'm available on Monday the 8th, Wednesday the 10th and Thursday the 11th next week. I'm in England till Tuesday the 9th and then in Berlin on Wednesday.

Demboski leaving Bronson administration, Kent Kohlhase named to interim role as municipal manager
Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson has announced that Municipal Manager Amy Demboski is leaving the administration and he has named Kent Kohlhase as acting municipal manager.
Demboski joined the administration shortly after Bronson was elected 2021. She is a former Anchorage Assemblywoman for Eagle River who challenged Ethan Berkowitz for mayor in 2015. Berkowitz won, and Demboski in 2018 joined the administration of Gov. Mike Dunleavy, where she worked in the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development before leaving in 2021 to be Bronson's city manager.
Kohlhase was recently named Public Works director, when former director Lance Wilber was promoted to executive director of Community Development. Kohlhase previously served as the director of project management and engineering for the Municipality of Anchorage. He worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Anchorage for 22 years, including seven years as engineering staff officer for the Chugach National Forest.
Kohlhase graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1993 with a degree in Civil Engineering. He has been a registered Professional Engineer since 1998.

KTUU rarely does a good, complete job with any story, so I don't know if their interview with Amy Demboski this evening is the whole story. She said she was fired because she wrote and sent an email to the mayor informing him that his some of his decisions were out of compliance with the municipal charter. She said her firing was retaliation for that email. And then she cried. I expect her to file a lawsuit.
She said nothing about the extremely unprofessional behavior and the extremely perverse insult she directed at another Muni director that was reported on another site. As usual, the guy conducting the interview did not ask any hard questions.
Can't say I blame her. How much abuse is she supposed to take?
I just hope the next guy can throw a punch (metaphorically speaking).

Amy D. is one of the true conservatives out there.
I could never get over the fact – that Begich3 voted for Ethan "perv" Berkowitz for Anchorage mayor over Amy. Amy – good luck in your future endeavors.
M Jenkins December 21, 2022 At 10:47 am
Amy is smart. I voted for Begich after I saw Amy support him in the congressional. She knows the players and knows Begich is the real deal.
Did she leave or was she let go? The 'Anchorage Democrat News' is saying that she was let go.

OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM December 19, 2022 At 6:19 pm
last week said, "she was a rock solid city manager that has done amazing in his administration." That was on Dan Fagan in the morning. She has a good understanding of Alaska politics since she has been in the fight, especially locally.
Considering she is dealing with a corrupt Assembly that passes ordinances under our eyes to give our grade school kid's hormone blockers without our consent by school psychologists and ASD administration. This was brought on by SAM BRINTON, the Biden Administration's Department of Energy Official's legal team, (She/he is that gender confused sicko), that's into male "leather-fist-face" nozzles for sexual-fantasies and self-mutilations. She/IT was caught stealing suite cases at the airport recently. SICK!!! Very sick child abuser! (Can't make this stuff up, verify yourself)!!!
All thanks to Christopher Constant, Meg Zylotol, and Forest Dunbar for writing the ordinances for ASD child abuse! How can they even sleep at night, yet have the drive and self-consciousness to serve in the military.
They both deserve to be let go of their roles in the assembly and military and have potential penitentiary time for aiding and abating child abuse in Anchorage!
MRAK Fan December 20, 2022 At 8:10 pm
OpEF, what does any of this have to do with Demboski? By the way, it's being reported (by others) she was fired for insulting a peer with rather vulgar language. (Suzanne, is this publishable now? You seem keen to continue to censor my not insulting and genuine comments.)
*OR* does she plan to apply for the soon-to-be vacant position representing Eagle River on the assembly AND THEN run as the incumbent in April?
well THAT was as CLEAR AS MUD ! Im sure the citizens of anchorage are so appreciative of these bread crumbs
Art Chance December 20, 2022 At 12:54 pm
The replacement is chosen by the Assembly, so they're not going to choose Demboski.
Frank Rast December 20, 2022 At 6:18 am
Kent is a long term MOA employee and a very competent professional. Hopefully the Bronson machine will not destroy him
Jen December 20, 2022 At 7:28 am
Alaska employers. A shortage of workers where employer downright "steal" other employers employees. I wonder how much more keni 650 am competively offered her? American parents encourage your younger kids to develop work skills and a few trades like broadcasting. I think amy won't disappoint Dan's audience her personality, voice, and intelligence even may increase viewers tuning into their AM station for her.
Low Man December 21, 2022 At 7:37 am
KENI is not hiring her.
She will have my vote as the future mayor of Chugiak/ Eagle River.
david Boyle December 20, 2022 At 8:00 am
Amy D, thank you for your service to the citizens of Anchorage. You have done a great job under stressful conditions. You will be sorely missed, even by the Left.
Lets see how many of the 300,000 anchorage tax payers come to assembly tonight to say if they appreciate paying BERK's BILLS of the 100 million he borrowed ? I wonder where the other 100 mil went. Hmmm. CLERK is fixin to choose Anchorage Assembly MAJORITY !!! for reading tonight. 5- 10 pm Library. If you want to help protest comm china, bring white paper to hold up in honor of their SUFFERING since they have lost almost all of their RIGHTS.

Charlie Bussell December 20, 2022 At 2:38 pm
Think of how much different the conversation would be today had Amy prevailed in 2015 and become our mayor instead of that far left Berkie….Amy did a great job for the Governor and the people of the State. She had stood in the breach for the people of Anchorage time and time again as she served the mayor …we all owe her a great debt of thanks for the outstanding years of public service to date and hope this is not the last of her service as we so badly need more to stand and serve as she has done. Thanks Amy ..!!
Amy Tells All December 20, 2022 At 7:49 pm
LeBronson at it again!
Another bad look as Amy speaks out regarding her firing. It really appears LeBronson is inept at managing and leading. Would gladly trade LeBron for Amy back!
SASSY SENIOR December 20, 2022 At 10:55 pm
Sure looks like it from hearing her interview on the local news source. She was doing her job – crossing the "t's " and dotting the "i's". Been there – done that in a former life. I would be interested to see how the Mayor defends this firing. Her work could have kept him out of trouble if that newscast was accurate. She's in my district and I will support her in any office she wants to pursue. Thank you Amy. The Municipality has had a couple of incompetent mayors in my lifetime. Is Bronson over his head?
Amy, you go girl! Your integrity and principles will sustain you. God Bless. No matter how difficult it seems now, you will be fine.
Guy AK December 21, 2022 At 5:10 am
Amy helped Mayor Bronson every day she was there. If someone got her negative concern she should have been supported organizationally. That's the way that works. If that women in the accounting chair doesn't deign to come to work; that can and should be arranged. The manager is doing triple duty anyway. She responds to the people too and she knows we don't need hothouse 🍅 s sitting as the municipality corporation accountant not wanting to be available to do we the people's fiduciaries duty. Thanks again covid worshippers. Oh my, little Miss Precious Accounting Lady better get to work. If the context of her life is toooo tenuous for her to reliably do it like a guy then she is too fragile for the job. It's fine to be fragile. You just must be robust enough for the job paid by public trust funds. Again, Ms. Demboski is exactly right and pulling for Alaska's taxpayers as usual and paying a high price for it. Hire a guy who can shovel his car out to keep such a job for Anchorage's people. It's part of the job. Getting there.
And, no whining.
I shovelled like Hercules myself. Not everyone can handle life in AK with "ease" or grace. That's why God created CA if you need ease and grace per se.
Once again woke women have proved their fragility. Whoop de do. I say this because I lost my dad and was an undernourished straightforward little kid. Nobody cut me any slack and you aren't going to get any slack from me. If you need slack get it someplace else. Or if you need manners fit for royalty. We don't have those in AK.
Sorry to be a hard a**. That's what Alaska produces though. If you don't like that don't come here. Alaska and softies don't go together. Compared to my mother I'm very moderate. We aren't harsh or cruel we are just straightforward.
George December 21, 2022 At 10:59 am
Seems like she was fighting a 'good old boys' club & lost her job as assistant Mayor
Too bad, always liked her.
If she hadn't lost her cool & cursed out a co-worker in front of everyone, she might have had a lawsuit.
Mayor Bronson's ship now has another hole in it. The keeps shooting himself in the foot.
On another note, of course the Sully has to open for all shelter when it is 10 below zero.
What is the Lib plan? To let a few homeless die & then blame conservatives?

Alexander Croote (1785-1872)
Back to "The Broadnymett Three"
Alexander Croote was the oldest of the three men convicted of stealing Mr Prickman's sheep at Broadnymett. Croote had a long association with that farm, having been an apprentice there to George Powsland thirty years before.
He was married to Ann (nee Hawkins), born in North Tawton in 1791. They had, according to the Australian Convict records, two sons. One of them, William, born in 1833 (possibly while they were living at Broadnymett) later had a family and lived in Bovey Tracey where he was a clay cutter.
Alexander was Protestant, a farm labourer. 5' 3½", Ruddy, freckled complexion. Brown hair, light hazel eyes, Carroty whiskers, lost a front upper tooth, point of nose sharp.
With William Coombe, he was first taken to the hulk Justitia at Woolwich, then transported on the "John Barry" which left Torbay on 20 Sep 1835 with 320 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 17 January 1836.
It seems that he didn't remarry. It is known that he received mail, probably from home, in December 1838, and in July 1847 there was an advertisement in the Sydney Morning Herald:
LETTERS DETAINED-The following is a list of letters detained in in the General Post Office, Sydney, in consequence of the sea postage required thereon not having been paid:- ... Mrs. Ann Croote, North Tunton, Devonshire ....
He was granted a Conditional Pardon when in Wollombi, 100 Km North of Sydney, in December 1848, which still did not permit him to return to England.
He is believed to have remained in New South Wales - there is mention of an Alexander Crook in Hawkesbury census in 1860, and the death of an Alexander Crook was registered in Windsor, NSW in 1872.
Ann, his wife remained in North Tawton. In 1841 she was a wool carder, living with their 8 year old son, William. In the censuses for 1851 and 1861 she was living alone. She died at her son's house in Bovey Tracey in 1865 aged 75.
The other convicts: Josias Austin William Coombe

After a long apprenticeship, I have been a licensed Tattoo Artist in the state of NH since February 2009 and previously held a license in Amherst, MA. Shortly after receiving my NH license I was blessed to spend nearly two years working with the amazingly talented Jesse Rix at his shop, Secret Lake Tattoo in Keene, NH. I learned a lot during this time, but eventually chose to take a break from tattooing due to the demanding schedule of the band I was performing with (we were touring the country and playing with some big-name acts). I returned to New England and began tattooing again in November 2011 after a nearly 6-month hiatus.
When Jesse decided to close the doors at Secret Lake Tattoo to open a private studio, I took over and opened Elm City Tattoo in it's place. It has been a challenging but great experience and I'm blessed to work with a great team.
I really enjoy creating a custom work of art that both myself and my client can be proud of. Give me your idea and let me roll with it. While not all great artwork lends itself well to tattooing, I am glad to sit down with a client and come up with something he/she will be happy with for years to come.


China Harbor Engineering Company (CHEC) has signed an agreement to implement a dredging project at Ukraine's southern Black Sea port of Chornomorsk.
The contract was signed at the Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry on April 6, 2018, by Lin Tao, the head of the CHEC office in Ukraine, and Maksym Shyrokov, the head of the Yuzhny Port Administration.
Under the agreement, the Chinese company will deepen the port's approach channel to 16 meters, including a significant amount of dredging work in one of the port's operational areas, boosting the overall handling capacity of the port.
The project is set to be completed by the end of the current year.

"By giving Londoners of all abilities, ages and backgrounds the confidence to cycle, we can improve their health and quality of life, as well as reducing toxic air pollution, which improves our city for everyone "
Transport for London (TfL) today announced the latest Cycling Grants London winners as part of its ongoing commitment to encourage Londoners of all backgrounds to take up cycling.
Thirty local community projects across the capital have been awarded TfL's Cycling Grants London funding to help make cycling more accessible for everyone.
Latest figures show that just one in four (25 per cent) people from non-white or mixed backgrounds cycled at least once in 2017/18, compared to 37 per cent of people from white backgrounds. And just 15 per cent of people from non-white or mixed backgrounds commuted by bike at least once in 2017/18, compared to 40 per cent of people from white backgrounds.
Cycling Grants London funding particularly helps groups that are traditionally under-represented among those choosing the healthy and sustainable way of travelling. The winning projects stretch across London and range from schemes that train young people in bike maintenance, a project that encourages women working in hospitals to cycle, training for young offenders to become bike mechanics, cycling groups for disabled and homeless people and a cycle training and maintenance project for the Hindu Bengali community.
Since TfL's Cycling Grants London began in 2015, they have helped encourage more than 18,000 people to cycle. The programme is part of TfL's sustained investment in cycling to make it easier and more appealing. By breaking down the barriers to cycling and making it safer, TfL aims to diversify cycling and make it accessible to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
TfL is committed to increasing the number of women and diverse groups that cycle, including those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds and people with disabilities. TfL offers free Cycle Skills training to give people of all abilities the chance to improve their confidence on the capital's roads.
Where new infrastructure has been built to make cycling safer and easier, there has been a significant increase in cycling, including a 200 per cent increase on Lower Thames Street, a 124 per cent increase on Blackfriars Road and a 53 per cent increase in Whitechapel. The number of women cycling in London has increased four per cent in the last three years and since Quietway 1 was launched in 2016, the number of women using the route has increased from 29 to 35 per cent.
As part of his Transport Strategy, the Mayor has set a target to increase the proportion of people walking, cycling and taking public transport to 80 per cent of journeys by 2041. This will help tackle congestion and London's polluted air and make the city a safer, greener and healthier place.
The Mayor and TfL are working closely with boroughs across London to create up to 400km of new cycling routes to add to London's ever growing cycling network. More than 140km of cycle routes have been constructed so far during this Mayoral term and they have made cycling safer at 86 junctions across London.
TfL is also working with the boroughs to encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport through its Liveable Neighbourhoods programme, which provides funding for a wide range of community-supported projects. These could include the creation of green spaces, new cycling infrastructure, redesigned junctions and the widening of walking routes to improve access to local shops, businesses and public transport.
- Mums and Babes By Bike: This project will provide bikes, equipment, intensive training and support networks for Single Mums and low income Mums who want to start cycling with very young children on a bike.

(Photo: DoD)
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the conference report on the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2019 on July 25, by a 359-54 vote. The Senate will likely take up the measure this week and send it to President Trump, who is expected to sign it. This important piece of legislation establishes the baseline authorization on defense spending and policy for the next year. Congress continues to work on the Defense Appropriation bill, which will fund the NDAA. READ MORE>

USAF Reservist Robert Wilkie confirmed as VA secretary
(Photo: US Senate)
The Senate confirmed Robert Wilkie as the tenth VA secretary in an 86-9 vote on July 24. He replaces David Shulkin, who was fired in March after a struggle with political appointees whom he accused of plotting to privatize the VA's health system.
Wilkie, a former Pentagon official and U.S. Air Force Reserve Lt. Colonel, faces a host of difficult issues, including filling senior vacancies, managing a $10 billion digital health record contract and coordinating care for the 9 million veterans enrolled for care with the nation's largest health care system. He is an Air Force Reserve colonel drilling at the Pentagon. ROA will work with the new VA secretary on issues such as veterans status for federal hiring preference, and reform of processes and adjudication regarding illness from burn pits and other toxic exposures.

ROA and the Commissioned Offers Association of the USPHS sent the Commerce and Health committees of the House and Senate, and are preparing a similar letter to the president, a joint letter opposing several proposed changes to the U.S. Public Heath Services Commissioned Corps by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Specifically, ROA and COA raised opposition to the recommendations of reducing by 38% the number of USPHS officer professionals (from 6,500 to 4,000) and the shifting of retirement costs to agencies in which they are deployed. Both associations did, however, support the recommendation to create a Reserve Corps of government employees and private citizens, similar to that used by other uniformed services. READ MORE>
Reserve Component Mobilizations — By the Numbers
(as of 24 July 2018 )
The Department of Defense publishes contingency activations of the Reserve Components on a weekly basis. When DoD considered stopping the contingency reporting earlier in 2017, ROA was instrumental in pressing DoD to keep it as a reporting requirement. This information is important because Congress uses this information to gauge how the Reserve Component is being used for operational missions which results in authorizations and appropriations.
Additionally, this report reminds the President and Congress that the Reserve Component is still being used for contingency activations despite years of drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The second of the new podcast series "ROA Update" addresses military appreciation marketing campaigns and inclusion of the Reserve Components, and an update on the discharge of immigrant recruits, with ROA's executive director, Jeff Phillips. VIEW PODCAST >

It's been nearly two years since the Army Reserve chief, Lt. Gen. Charles Luckey, announced his plan to create Ready Force X, a special group of Reserve component units tasked with being ready to deploy on shorter notice than traditional Reserve units.
Now, more than 600 units have been designated as part of the effort to ensure that active and National Guard units are supported on short-notice contingency operations with field hospitals, refueling services and other sustainment resources provided by the Reserve. Of those 600 units, 181 have been designated to provide support in the first 30 days of a conflict.
"We are going to generate for the American people what they expect us to generate," Luckey said in a statement posted on Army Reserve Command's Ready Force X website. READ MORE>

ART Maintenance recruiting becomes priority
U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Daniel Phelps
"ARTs are full-time, dual-status civil service technicians responsible for training and ensuring the Reserve provides combat-ready Airmen. They also perform Reserve duty on unit training assembly weekends."
"From the A4 standpoint, building up the maintenance ART program is a priority, since the current average full-time manning is approximately 71 percent, as opposed to 82 percent in 2012."
ROA has been a strong supporter of providing the same level of effort to fill maintenance positions as they do with pilots along with allowing ARTs to receive specialty bonuses. Currently they cannot receive a bonus when they fill a critical shortage even though bonuses are extended to traditional Reservists in the same critical specialty. READ MORE
During June 2018, 56 of our ROA comrades passed from our ranks. On behalf of our membership, we thank these brave men and women for their many years of service and wish their families peace. READ MORE>

"Clean water would be the solution to all our current problems." - Gishu, mother of nine
"Clean water would be the solution to all our current problems." - Gishu
Boru, Ethiopia, Africa
Life in Boru: Gishu's Story
When Gishu's 15-year-old daughter, Madina, arrives to the spring each day, someone is usually doing their laundry in the water. Other times, animals are drinking from it, and she waits in the forest until they're finished.
Madina and her mother know that the water makes them sick, but they have no choice.
Gishu has raised nine children in Boru village. For the most part, the last five decades of Gishu's life has looked as it does now; she spends her days farming Ethiopian banana and working on her garden. She churns milk every week, and her children gather water from the contaminated spring in the forest.
Now, Gishu's husband has passed, so she does the farming on her own. Most of her children have married and moved away, and she lives with her youngest daughter, her son, Aman, and his family.
"We don't have any other water source but the spring," Gishu said. "We drink this dirty and unsafe water and struggle with waterborne diseases."
Gishu's grandchildren now suffer from the same waterborne diseases as their parents and grandparents. Their medical expenses cost the family valuable income.
"Clean water would be the solution to all our current problems," Gishu said. "I wish we could have clean water within our village so our sufferings would disappear."
Her son, Aman, is ambitious. He would like to do something besides farming, but without a safe source of water, it is hard for him to find the time or the money to start another business.
Safe water would give Gishu's family the ability to save money, live healthy lives, and send the grandchildren to school when they're old enough.
You can help Gishu's family and others in Boru village today. Your gift will provide health training for each household, plus a new, safe water source near their village.
Lasting change means more than just building a well. Compelled by the love of Christ, local Lifewater staff work house by house to teach families healthy habits that will impact generations to come.
Here's what happens when you sponsor a village water project through Lifewater:
Partner with a village. Your gift kickstarts a community water project.
Teach healthy habits. Small changes make a big impact on family health.
Build a well. The village contributes up to 15% for construction.
Measure impact. Local staff track success and provide support.
Engage the church. We equip local churches to love their community.
Sponsor Boru village today.
Boru is in a very remote region of Ethiopia
Here's the Plan for Boru:
Boru has selected water committee members to manage the safe village water source. Forming a water committee is a key step toward establishing a safe water source in a village. Committees are made up of local men and women who manage the well and collect fees, ensuring the community's investment lasts for generations to come.
Work is officially underway to build a new water source for Boru village. Our local teams are using technology appropriate to the region and geography to ensure the new water source is sustainable.
Great news! Boru is now a certified Healthy Village. That means the safe water source is complete and more than 90% of the community's homes are healthy. That is a new future for 268 children and families.

KDF process media are high-purity, copper-zinc formulations that reduce contaminants in water using an oxidation/reduction (redox) reaction. In other words, KDF media exchange electrons with contaminants, changing them into harmless components. For example, chlorine is changed into water-soluble chloride, soluble ferrous cations are changed into insoluble ferric hydroxide, and oxygen sulfide is changed into insoluble copper sulfide. Insoluble reaction by-products are easily removed by periodic backwash.
Microorganisms are controlled two ways. First, the exchange of electrons in the redox reaction creates an electrolytic field that most microorganisms can't survive. Second, KDF process media can cause hydroxyl radicals and peroxides to form from some water molecules. The hydroxide radicals and peroxides interfere with microorganisms' ability to function.
KDF Process media improve water treatment performance by protecting, and in some cases replacing, existing filtration/purification technologies. The exceptional filtration/purification performance and versatility of KDF media make them an economical and easy-to-use water treatment technology in both new systems and retrofit applications.
When used alone, KDF media can remove more than 95% of chlorine, iron, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, and other contaminants from water. When used in combination with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), KDF media can significantly extend the life of carbon. Used ahead of reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems, KDF process media also safeguard expensive membranes, resins and system components.
Compared to other water treatment technologies, KDF process media offer reeduced material requirements resulting in more compact and more economical systems. KDF process media also last longer thatn GAC, which means material replacement requirements are lower.
Because KDF process media contain no chemical additives and are 100% recyclable, costly disposal requirements are eliminated. What's more, KDF process media are safe for the environment. KDF 55 water treating reduces bacteria and other microorganisms by disrupting electron transport, causing cellular damage.
KDF 55 process media also kills bacteria by direct electrochemical contact and by flash formation of hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide, both of which interfere with a microorganism's ability to function.
KDF 85 functions as a catalyst to change soluble ferrous cations (positively-charged ions) into insoluble ferric hydroxide, which can be removed with regular backwashing. With enough oxygen dissolved in the water, iron removal rates of 98 percent of better are common. Copper loses 1 electron (oxidation). Sulfer gains 1 electron (reduction). Copper sulfide is insoluble in water and can be backwashed off KDF 85 medium.
Apparent Density: 171 lbs./cu. ft.
* Not recommended for use in water containing weak acids, such as citric and acetate.
Service Flow Rate (10″ min.): 15 gpm/sq. ft.
KDF is another fine media from Fluid Treatment, Inc.

Group makes walking fun
By ROWENA PLETT
Whether for health or sociability, an informal group of Hillsboro residents have begun walking together three evenings a week.
Organized by Treena Lucero, they began walking May 30 and adopted the slogan, "Better Together."
Participants walk at 8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Walks vary from 1.25 to 3.75 miles along various routes mapped by Lucero.
"The group averages from 6 to 10," Lucero said. "When we have a large group, we split up into smaller groups."
Six walkers showed up Friday. All agreed that walking was important to their health.
Anne Janzen, a teacher at Hillsboro schools, said joining the group helped her maintain health efforts she makes through the school district's Better You program for staff members.
"I spend one hour a day doing things for my health," she said.
Sandra Ruder said she joined the group because she was trying to get healthier and change her lifestyle.
Charlene Pschigoda said the group gave her an incentive to walk. She enjoys socializing while walking.
"Nobody walks alone," she said.
More information is available from Lucero at (620) 947-3681.
