In the year 1978 the founder Klaus Bielefeld purchased the old gas station area at the Hasporter Damm 124 and opened the Bielefeld Automobile Company as an authorised automobile centre in Delmenhorst.
Approx. 20 – 25 second-hand cars were displayed on the 1500 square meter large property and, upon request,even maintenance, services and repairs were done in the small workshop hall. The name of the Bielefeld Automobile Company was soon well-known both in the region and supraregional and became a synonym for interesting and exclusive second-hand cars, particularly for the labels Mercedes-Benz, BMW and VW.
With regard to the rapid and steady growth as an independent and renowned automobile dealer it became necessary to switch the points for a personnel expansion. Thus Klaus Bielefeld decided on a partnership with M. A. in the year 1982, so that the divisions of the purchase and sales department and the garage could be filled in an optimal way.
On constant growth course the company had to face a fast market change in the second-hand car trade. In order to permanently meet the customers' requirements consequent entrepreneurial decisions had to be made accordingly.
After the first successful decade, the firm founder decided to completely rebuilt the buildings in the year 1988, and thus lay the foundation for a modern automobile trade and service. The complete new building of the company was inaugurated in the spring of 1989 and was very well received by all customers and friends of the company.
In 1995 the two partners and managing directors Klaus Bielefeld and M. A. decided with great foresight to switch the points for a change of generations. As a consequence in spring 1996, Ralf Kaluza, management expert for foreign trade and son-in-law of the firm founder, started as management assistant in the Bielefeld Automobile Company and thus continued his straight career as a salesman and dealer with international experience.
In the same year son Peter Bielefeld strengthened the team of the Bielefeld Automobile Company. As a skilled motor mechanic (especially Mercedes-Benz) he took his master craftsman's diploma and continued the technical tradition of the company as a member of the local automobile guild.
Meanwhile the performance of Bielefeld Automobile Company got more and more extensive and is now divided into a technical and a commercial area. The technical area involves service, repair and inspection work which are executed the most competently and professionally. The commercial area involves the complete handling from purchase to sale, and thus all commercial aspects such as trade-in of cars, an appropriate service supply e.g. arranging financing and leasing possibilities and the complete export service.
To keep our customers satisfied and to be worth their trust are as well important features of our entrepreneurial idea as cost consciousness, high flexibility and a fair competition. We always endeavour to also meet individual wishes and requirements of our clients in currently more than 40 countries word-wide and therefore have a steady selection of approx. 50 representative and interesting vehicles. The selection of vehicles involves mainly the labels Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but beyond that some other famous labels such as Jaguar, Porsche and AUDI and the Jeep pallet are represented.
The appearance, the high-motivated team and the technical developments show that the Bielefeld Automobile Company always adapted to the modern technical requirements in order to be an important partner of our regional, national and international customers and suppliers. Our technology is state-of-the-art and we have a positive attitude towards the challenges of tomorrow to which we intend to find innovative a progressive answers in order to meet the high requirements of our customers in any way- after now 40 years and surely also in the next millennium.
We would like to express our appreciation to all our customers and suppliers for their confidence during the last 40 years!


This meditation is a bubbling, sparkling, expansive bundle of joy. Mother Mary comes through to help you connect with your inner child, who takes you on a journey of seeing the world through her eyes. You end up, where else, but deep within your own heart.


This block was our inspiration for our greatest event ever! We were asked to convert our baby block over for friends who had internationally adopted. We made the block, put it on the website and noticed quite of few babies were coming to the US from China! We chatted with customers about their experience and VOLA we were submitting our paperwork to meet our daughter. In a whirlwind of events Miss LeeLoo came home about a year and a half later!
Engraved details include: Child's full name, date of birth, time of birth, weight and length, name of parents, date of adoption and where they were adopted from. We know that international adoptions might not have the stats thus we make the block look it's best with or without the stats.

Designing Data-Driven Technology with IBM
Posted September 14th, 2016 by Jeanna Walls.
Water Mission and IBM jStart have embarked on a three-pronged collaborative initiative to advance our technology leadership in the global water crisis.
Our co-founder and CEO, Dr. George C. Greene III, PE, often explains the global water crisis as, "urgent and enormous." The work with IBM jStart will advance our ability and efficiency in providing sustainable access to safe water for those in need. All three collaborative projects will help us gather and analyze data and make more informed decisions about our organization and operations in the field than ever before. In the future, the volume of data and predictive modeling potential could also be shared with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), universities and others working to solve this humanitarian crisis.
One of the projects with IBM jStart includes designing, programming and building a real-time data alerting and analysis dashboard to instantly view our global operations, including more than 2,000 existing and all future safe water systems. The advanced monitoring and integration into our existing platform will enable us to make more strategic decisions about future installations and to view the financial performance and sustainability of each system around the world.
"The real-time alerting system allows us to ask questions about our global installations that we haven't been able to ask or immediately react to in the past," says Ryan Reif, Information Systems Manager at Water Mission.
The alerts can signal many important factors, such as water usage, that lead to productive actions. If water usage is decreasing, it could mean that a tap is broken or the community is using a different water source. If water usage increases, it could indicate that the community is selling more water to nearby villages to improve the system's financial sustainability. Alternatively, an increase in usage may mean that a pipe is broken and water is flowing outside of the access points.
"Once the alerting dashboard is fully operational, our headquarters team can troubleshoot and react quicker with our in-country system operators and make better, informed decisions about future installations. Ultimately, it will serve our mission to ensure sustainable, safe water is flowing for people who need it."
– Ryan Reif, Water Mission Information Systems Manager
Separately from the real-time dashboard, Water Mission is also conducting field trials, funded by the World Bank, on the viability and sustainability of solar-powered pumping and smart water dispensers (SWDs) on six safe water systems in Tanzania. Concurrently, data will be collected from three sources including weather stations, SWDs, and short message service (SMS) mobile surveys for a proof of concept of an early warning system. This early warning system, with study data analyzed by IBM jStart, will inform the behavior trends and patterns that could alert drought conditions and water insecurity issues in East Africa.
"When the system is integrated into the nonprofit's existing proprietary monitoring system, our aim is to help build predictive models using the data," says Ed Elze, program director, IBM jStart. "Ultimately, our goal is to better assess water usage behaviors and trends in the communities and better understand water insecurity in rural, sub-Sahara Africa."
Aside from the impacts of drought and water insecurity on the lives of individuals, droughts and floods alone account for 70% of the economic losses in sub-Saharan Africa, including loss of agriculture and livestock as well as loss of household income. In the future, if governments and NGOs can alleviate the losses associated with floods and droughts, especially in East Africa, people living in these countries will be better equipped to manage the negative impacts of natural disasters.
The hope is that an early warning system utilizing the latest SWD technology will provide an edge to addressing climate insecurity, disaster risk management, and vulnerability and resilience in East Africa.
These analyses also pose many additional opportunities for us to measure changes in consumption behavior in response to variables such as targeted water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) promotion activities, education, or training. Information on consumption patterns could also help decision makers create a more informed cost structure for each project, leading to improved project budget forecasting and our potential to increase financial sustainability.
Lastly, as part of the collaboration, jStart is also advising our Research and Development team on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) on new membrane filtration systems that could potentially be used to redesign the original safe water treatment system. Since the new membrane filters require an automated backwash every 20 minutes, PLCs would be a cost effective solution to automate the controls. Pilot studies are underway to evaluate new filtration systems using PLCs and the potential data output.

The increased emphasis on sustainability, livability and environmental conservation means that landscape architects' skills are more important than ever. Within the discipline of landscape, GMC provides integrated design for projects ranging from master planning new communities and recreation facilities to fine-tuning details of existing streetscapes. GMC's site designers skillfully choreograph the transition between natural and built environments, and possess the talent to push the boundaries of landscape with safe and sustainable outdoor spaces appropriate to the environments in which they are located.
GMC worked with Troy University on Phase I of Janice Hawkins Park to establish a new pedestrian connection between the residence halls and academic areas. The scope included new sidewalks, lighting, benches, landscaping and a fountain. Many large shade trees were preserved in the layout of the sidewalks. Civil engineering services provided during implementation of the project included stream restoration, slope stabilization, and stormwater drainage assessment to control stormwater from pipe discharges to prevent erosion within the park. GMC also provided the removal and control of invasive plant species. A series of walking trails was created along the restored stream to the existing pond for use by the students and faculty for teaching and passive recreational purposes. In addition, an informal amphitheater was constructed for student gatherings.


On the farm, though, I'm finding it easier to pause, to look around myself, and to breathe deep. I think the rhythms of the day help: morning harvest is usually a quiet time, and the stillness of the garden can make me just stop and take in my surroundings, and smile.
Taking time to pause and appreciate is part of the culture of the farm, too. Living in community, with six other adults who have a range of interests and responsibilities, means that other people are always doing something wonderful when you aren't looking...Walk into the pantry, and find that of the Sisters made a whole batch of Jalapeno Dill Pickles (YUM!)...walk into the yard, and see that someone has been busy planting and mulching, and there's a whole new bed of beets just bursting forth...go into Chapel and there's a beautiful arrangement of flowers gracing the altar...There's berries freezing in the freezer, eggs in the refrigerator, wood chopped and fences repaired, tidy guestrooms prepared for friends and visitors, and, always, delicious clean water brought from the building across the street.
It's a symphony of sorts, one played in many parts and at different moments, and there can be bumps and scrapes along the way. But the abundance of gifts that is the manifestation of this symphony is breathtaking: a perfect cherry tomato, in a season when most tomatoes in the northeast were devastated by blight. A parade of ducklings, marching to their morning bath. The collective happiness about the homecoming of a cat thought lost. The enjoyment of shared work, shelling beans and beans and beans.
And although we are preparing for the months to come, what strikes me again and again is how much this community is living in the present. Every day we pause, at every meal, to say what we are grateful for. It's an amazing exercise, to stop and think about what you can give thanks for, and I find it makes me much more aware and appreciative of all that I am experiencing.
Every day we pause, to stop and stretch and look around, to check in with the cats and the dogs, and the ducks and the chickens, and even the bees, to see how everyone is doing. And these pauses are nourishing, enlivening, filling. I hope that everyone can find moments in which to pause, to look around, to breathe.

Our kids are the grunt workers. They haul worms to and from the worm room. They get into the gardens and pick out rocks. They mix soil and get their little hands nice and muddy. They each have their own garden they tend. Even the baby helps; he rides around on his daddy's front in the kangaroo pouch and tugs on leaves and branches as his daddy passes by the trees.
I'm the back-office. I pay the bills, write the emails, manage the website and write about the wonders my husband creates with his gardens and worms.
Over the holidays, we ventured out to include more family in this business we call worm farming. My daddy is an amazing gardener. He has turned his property into the most peaceful oasis of gardens – both vegetable and flower. He has always been interested in my worm farmer's work, giving advice and helping out where he can. In November, Hubby decided to set up a Worm Grotto in another location, as an experiment to see if it's something other gardeners can use. He surprised my dad with all the components of the system, and then got to work on the prep and set-up.
Bob and Levi worked together to fill the Grotto with healthy soil and compost.
My dad wanted the Worm Grotto placed so that it will drain directly into his existing vegetable garden.
Bob and my dad install the waterworks.
A pound of Red Wigglers to start the new Grotto off in style!
My daddy loves the Worm Grotto. He's made his own adjustments to the system, which help it work best for his existing gardens. He shares his ideas with my worm farmer, and they now have yet another thing in common. My mom says he sometimes goes out to the Worm Grotto to just "sit with his worms." Which doesn't surprise me. My hubby does that too.
The holidays bring out the love when it comes to family. I'm thankful that the Worm Grotto is now part of my parents' lives, so that we have that family tie year 'round. Our kids have continuity between our home and their grandparents' house, where they see the Worm Grotto and all the gardens working together. My worm farmer and my dad have partnered in experimenting with the uses for the Worm Grotto. And I reap the benefits in more than one way – I mean, it's ALWAYS good when your hubby and daddy get along!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM CANYONLAND WORMS!

2001: This is Signal Hill's third CD and first real studio album. Released in 2001 and recorded at Idea of East Productions, this CD features some original material from Greg Tobin and Jason Campbell. The front cover is of G. Marconi, who conducted the first trans-Atlantic wireless cable transmission from Cabot Tower, which rests atop of Signal Hill in St. John's. Permission for this famous experiment was given in writing by the post master of the time, Jason's great-grandfather, William Campbell. Sepia Tones also marked the departure of Paul Lamb and the addition of Greg Tobin on lead guitar and Terry Chaplin on Drums. In addition to the original music, each band member sang one cover song on that album. Antares Auto-Tune, having been recently invented, was novel and happily used on some of the vocals on Sepia Tones.

SHISHKOV Alexander Semenovich (1754-1841, St. Petersburg), a statesman, military leader, philologist, man of letters, Admiral (1824), Honorary Fellow of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences (1800). Graduated from the Naval Cadet Corps in 1772, and later taught at the same institution. Took part in a number of naval campaigns, and in the Russo-Swedish War of 1788-90. In 1797, he was appointed Adjutant General of the Navy under Emperor Pavel I; in 1812-14, he was Secretary of State; during the Patriotic War of 1812, and wrote Imperial Decrees, Edicts, and Manifestoes. He was admitted to the State Assembly in 1814; in 1824-28 he was Minister of Public Education; and from 1826, Head of the Committee for the Development of New Regulations for All Educational Institutions. In 1826, Shishkov was a member of the Supreme Penal Court over the Decembrists Case. He retired in 1828. He was one of the founders and a principal inspirer of the Gathering of Lovers of the Russian Word, as well as N.M. Karamzin's chief literary adversary. In 1813-41, he presided over the Russian Academy. Shishkov left written works on seamanship and popular books for children. Being a conservative in social life, as well as in the political domain, Shishkov went down in the Russian cultural history as the author of a ideological and philological doctrine directed against sentimentalism in literature. The doctrine asserted that it was necessary for Russian literary language to adopt the lexical and stylistic potential of Old Church Slavonic and Old Russian language and literature. Shishkov was also a council member of the Society of Noble Ladies and of the St. Catherine School (his membership in the both dates back to 1821). From 1799, he lived intermittently in his own building at 14 Furshtatskaya Street. He was buried in the St. Lazar's Burial Vault at the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.

Linden rabbi forges bonds with Israeli campers
Federation helps fund program for children in its sister community
By Elaine Durbach	August 10, 2011, 12:00 am Edit
Rabbi Joshua Hess of Linden with a young Israeli at the Counterpoint summer camp in Arad.
The new Counterpoint Israel summer camp in Arad ended only last week, but already parents in and around the Negev town are clamoring to get their children onto the application list for next summer.
The camp — run by Yeshiva University's service learning program and funded in part by the Jewish Federation of Central New Jersey — ran from July 12 to Aug. 2.
It brought together underprivileged teenagers from Arad and staff, mostly students from across North America. Arad is a sister city to the Central federation and several other federations under the Jewish Agency for Israel's Partnership 2000 program.
Rabbi Joshua Hess of Congregation Anshe Chesed in Linden worked with the Arad camp and YU's camp in Dimona, providing religious and secular teaching. It was an experience, he told NJJN, that he will treasure for the rest of his life.
Already there is talk of doubling the camp's size next year. In a letter to the community as camp ended, Hess reported that the P2K organizers told the staff "about daily calls from parents begging and pleading to enroll their children into the already full camp!"
In an e-mail to NJJN, he said that the campers — youngsters from Israeli, Moroccan, and Russian backgrounds — were mostly secular, with a traditional connection to Judaism. Only two wore kipot. The 12 student staff members were all Modern Orthodox.
Every day the camp focused on a different theme. The topics ranged from Internet security to charity and justice, exile and redemption to self-confidence. It was his job, Hess said, to monitor the classrooms and make sure things were running smoothly and to provide individualized teaching for campers who were having difficulty with the topic. He also got to play basketball with them.
A couple of weeks in, one Sunday and Monday, a few of the kids who didn't want to take part in the regular activities were given the option to study Torah with Hess. "Surprisingly," he said, "both times the kids chose to study with me! They were engaged and excited to learn; and, amazingly, the following day they begged me to continue to study with them! It made my day."
He had a spiritual experience with the staff too. The first Shabbat — which started with davening on a nearby mountaintop at sunset — was "one of the more meaningful and inspirational Shabbatot that I have ever been a part of."
Hess, who has studied in Israel and visited a number of times, said the camp gave him a different view of Israel. He wrote, "This is the first time that I interacted in a meaningful way with Israeli children. I learned that while there are some cultural differences between Israeli and American youth, there are so many similarities.
"We listen to the same music, watch the same movies, love sports and dancing, and are proud of our heritage…."
He said, "For me, this experience has been nothing short of transformational. I have seen with my own eyes how much impact a small group of motivated Jewish Americans can make on the lives of young Israelis and how we can connect with them on such a deep level.
"While we may physically live 6,000 miles apart, spiritually and emotionally they are our next door neighbors."
'Positive interactions'
From the camp he was going on to spend time with family in Israel and to take a much anticipated trip to Budapest with his wife. But saying goodbye to the camp staff was difficult. "I was truly blessed to be surrounded by such bright, committed, and fun students," he said. "They taught me a lot, and I hope that I was able to give back to them in proportion to what they gave me."
Amy Cooper, the Central federation's associate executive vice president, saw the camp in action when she visited Arad a few weeks ago. She told NJJN, "Counterpoint is a great example of how Partnership connects Jews in New Jersey and Jews in Israel in meaningful ways. It was great working with YU. They understood what we want to accomplish through P2K and worked with us to involve as many people as possible from our community and other P2K communities.
"Hopefully," Cooper said, "once the counselors, teachers, and the rabbi are back in the States, they will be emissaries of Counterpoint and P2K."
Hess's impact was much appreciated in the Arad camp. In her e-mail to NJJN, Sarah Bond, a Counterpoint counselor from Elizabeth, said, "Campers who were unable to sit through class or needed a break from other activities would hang out with Rabbi Hess and learn Tanach [Bible] with him.
"As a staff we all enjoyed the rabbi's presence in the camp. He gave us shiurim [lessons] as well as advice. However, we most enjoyed watching his positive interactions with the campers and the noticeable effect he had on their view of Judaism and religion as a whole."
Shuki Taylor, the director of YU's Department of Experiential Jewish Education, said, "Rabbi Hess enlightened and inspired the YU students with words of Torah on a daily basis, providing them with an authentic Jewish context to their volunteer experience. At the same time, he broadened the scope and the impact area of Counterpoint Israel's Arad program by sharing e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter updates with hundreds of Jews in Linden, the greater NJ Jewish community, and across North America."

Craft-Bamboo Racing was created when two leaders in their respective industries decided to join together and create an international motorsport enterprise. Craft Racing, from Hong Kong, was established in 2009 and was a front running team in Asian Championships for five years and won many prestigious races, obtaining top championship positions throughout the region. Bamboo Engineering, based in Silverstone, ran cars in both the WTCC and GP3 series. Success was enjoyed in both categories, with the WTCC team finishing third in the drivers championship in 2013, making them the first independent team to do so. Sharing a similar history and most importantly, carrying the same values and vision in their approach to motorsport, the two companies decided to merge in early 2014. The intent is to create an integrated team that can design, build and win for the team and its partners. Craft-Bamboo Racing is already becoming a modern motorsport powerhouse, demonstrating their ability to win on the race track as a top tier independent team.
Chevrolet Lacetti (2009)
The team was formed in July 2009 following the departure of team director Richard Coleman from Tempus Sport. Bamboo ran former Tempus driver Harry Vaulkhard in the 2009 British Touring Car Championship season[1] scoring several top 10 finishes to finish 16th overall in the championship.
European Touring Car Cup
Bamboo entered a pair of Chevrolet Lacettis in the one off 2009 European Touring Car Cup as a prelude to the 2010 entry in Braga, Portugal. Vaulkhard entered alongside Duarte Fèlix da Costa.
In qualifying the pair locked out the second row of the grid with Costa 3rd and Vaulkhard 4th, eventually finishing race 1 8th & 5th respectively. In race 2 Vaulkhard led the race in what would have been a championship winning position before spinning out of contention and ending up crossing the line in 6th place. Da Costa inherited the lead which would have also sealed the title for him and also spun out, ultimately finishing 7th.
Title showdown. O'Young on the grid in Macau 2010.
In 2010 the team entered the World Touring Car Championship, initially with Vaulkhard and Darryl O'Young as drivers.[2] Vaulkhard took the team's maiden WTCC Independents victory at 2010 FIA WTCC Race of Italy.[3] O'Young followed that up with the first ever victory for a Chinese driver in an FIA event at the 2010 FIA WTCC Race of Portugal;[4] which he followed up with victories in Rounds 13 & 14 in Brno, earning the team's first pole position after finishing 8th in race 1 to secure reverse grid role for race 2. O'Young was later given a 30-second time penalty in race one, demoting him down the field and stripping him of his victory.[5] Funding issues saw Vaulkard's season cut short[6] and Yukinori Taniguchi stepped in to replace him for the latter part of the season. He claimed a class victory in the first race at his home event in Japan, and that success was quickly followed up with a victory for O'Young in the second.[7] O'Young entered the final races in Macau as the only man with an outside chance of taking the title from Sergio Hernandez; after a crash with Tom Coronel in race 1 putting him both out of the race, Hernandez took the title and O'Young dropped to 4th in the standings. At the end of their debut season the team claimed second place in the Yokohama Teams' Trophy standings.[8]
Bamboo retained O'Young and Taniguchi for the 2011 season, continuing with the Chevrolet Lacetti for the 2011 FIA WTCC Race of Brazil.[9]
The team switched to the Chevrolet Cruze 1.6T for 2011 FIA WTCC Race of Belgium, replacing the Chevrolet Lacettis they ran in the opening round.[10] O'Young took the Yokohama Drivers' Trophy victory in race two. That was to be the only independent victory for the team in 2011, the team ended the year fifth in the Yokohama Teams' Trophy standings.
Holland on home turf in the 2012 WTCC Race of Sonoma
For 2012 the team had agreed a deal with RML Group which would see them run the same specification of car as the factory Chevrolet team.[11] They signed former BTCC driver Alex MacDowall and Formula Renault 3.5 race winner Pasquale di Sabatino in an all-rookie lineup.[12] The team left the opening round of the season at Monza with MacDowall tied at the top of the Independent Drivers' Trophy with Stefano D'Aste and Pepe Oriola. MacDowall was the fastest independent driver in qualifying for the Race of Austria and took his first WTCC independent victory in race one, the first of the season for Bamboo. For the Race of Brazil, di Sabatino was recovering from bronchitis and pneumonia was ruled out of competing by doctors with Michel Nykjær substituting for the Italian driver for the weekend.[13] Nykjær took the independents' pole position and then the independents' win in race one by finishing in fifth place. The team signed Robb Holland to race their second car at the Race of the United States.[14] O'Young returned to the team for the Race of Japan for the remainder of the season.[15] MacDowall finished fifth in race one having started on the second row of the grid to take the independent drivers' victory. Both drivers were involved in a first lap pileup at the Race of China in race one with both drivers eventually retiring due to race incidents.[16] The team went to the season finale in Macau with a slim chance for MacDowall to take the independent drivers' title. The weekend got off to a bad start when O'Young collided head on the barriers at the Mandarin Oriental corner in Thursday testing.[17] O'Young took the independents' pole position in qualifying and then the independents' victory in race one after being the last car to escape the pileup at the Lisboa corner.[18] MacDowall starting from pole position in race two was quickly passed by Norbert Michelisz at the start. He retook the leader later on but then the pair of them were passed by the works Chevrolet of Alain Menu. MacDowall's race ended when he was tapped from behind by Yvan Muller and collided head-on with the barriers on the exit of the high speed Mandarin bend. O'Young took his second independents' victory of the weekend.[19]
Nash during the 2013 Race of Japan
Bamboo engineering stayed in the WTCC for the 2013 season with James Nash joining from Team Aon.[20] The team retained MacDowall in their second car.[21] The team left the Race of Italy with MacDowall having claimed his first overall podium result and Nash leading the independent drivers' trophy, the team were second in the teams' trophy behind RML. Nash secured his first podium finish at the Race of Morocco in race one when he finished third.[22] Nash took the independent driver's victory in race two, the two Bamboo drivers then shared the independent victories at the Race of Slovakia. Bamboo took their first overall victory in the WTCC at the Race of Austria when Nash held off the advances of Yvan Muller in the final laps of race two to finish on the top step of the podium having started from pole position.[23] Nash followed this up with a second victory of the season in Race 2 in Portugal with a lights to flag victory from pole position 5 seconds ahead of reigning World Champion Rob Huff. MacDowall and Nash continued to trade independent class victories throughout the remainder of the season, with MacDowall victorious in the United States & Japan, where he also took an overall an podium for second, and Nash took both wins and an overall podium for 3rd in China. The pair went into the finale at Macau both with a chance of taking the independent crown. Nash sealed this in race one by following MacDowall home and then sealed 3rd in the World Championship with a 4th place whilst main rival Tom Chilton crashed out of both races. Nash & MacDowall shared 12 independent race wins between them in a dominant year for bamboo.
Chevrolet Cruze TC1 (2015)
After the sabbatical in 2014 whilst the squad competed in the World Endurance Championship, Bamboo returned to the World Touring Car Championship in 2015 continuing their relationship with RML and Chevrolet by competing with the Chevrolet Cruze in its new TC1 format. The team signed successful GT driver Gregoire Demoustier for the season which begun in promising fashion with the Frenchman scoring on his debut in Race 2 in Argentina with a 10th place. Another good result for Demoustier and a 10th place was secured in Race 2 at the Hungaroring. Following a major upgrade for the Slovakia round, Demoustier narrowly missed out on a reverse grid pole position at his home race in Paul Ricard, France by 0.015 seconds, after running in the top 6 in both free practice sessions. The Frenchman put on a similar competitive display in China running high up in the practice sessions and again just missing out on Q2.
In 2013, Bamboo joined the GP3 Series as the replacement for Atech CRS Grand Prix.[24] After testing with the team at the Autódromo do Estoril, Venezuelan Roberto La Rocca became the first driver to join the team.[25] Following the death of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and the changing political situation in the country, La Rocca was forced to exit the team and he was replaced by Carmen Jordá.[26] The team signed British drivers Melville McKee[27] and Lewis Williamson to drive their other two cars.[28] McKee took his and the team's first victory in race 2 at the Nurburgring.
At the end of the season the team was sold to Russian Time.
For 2014 Craft-Bamboo secured a technical partnership with Prodrive run Aston Martin Racing to run an Aston Martin Vantage V8 GTE car in the FIA WEC in the GTE Pro category. Alex MacDowall made the jump from the WTCC with the team as one of the drivers along with long term driver Darryl O'Young. The third seat was filled by Brazilian Fernando Rees, a previous champion in the series. Steady progress was made through the season with the #99 car battling for the class lead during the early hours for the 6 hours of Spa and the Lone Star Le Mans at Austin Texas. A crash in the first night session of the Le Mans 24 Hours with Rees behind the wheel left the Aston unrepairable, which unfortunately meant the team failed to take the start and compete in the flagship event for the series. The breakthrough came at the 6 hours of Fuji, with MacDowall and Rees qualifying the Vantage in pole position. After a tense 6 hour long battle during the race, the #99 ultimately missed out on the race win to the two Ferraris by 30 seconds -- about the amount of time lost in the re-fuelling during the race. Competitive showings at the Chinese and Brazilian rounds showed the #99 had made progress and finished the season with a strong 4th place in the 6 Hours of São Paulo.
Seat Leon (2015-2017)
In 2015 Craft-Bamboo signed up for the brand new TCR International series, running TC3 specification Seat Leons in partnership with Lukoil. Former World Touring Car race winners Pepe Oriola and Jordi Gene were signed to compete for the season alongside Russian former F2 and GT racer Sergey Afanasyev. A fourth car was added for selected events for Hong Kong driver Frank Yu, who previously raced for Craft Bamboo in the GT Asia series. At the opening round supporting the Malaysian GP and the inaugural race of the championship, Oriola and Afanasyev fought up from qualifying 7th and 8th to finish 2nd and 3rd to secure a double podium.[29] This was followed by a lights to flag victory for Gene in race 2, and Oriola marking another battling performance by finishing 2nd again.[30] The first European round in Spain gave Gene & Oriola a chance to shine at their home race, Oriola delivered a stunning pole position lap and translated that into a light to flag victory in Race 1, followed home by Afanasyev and Gene to complete a Craft Bamboo 1-2-3. Gene secured another two podiums in Portugal for a 2nd place in race and snatched a 3rd place at the last corner of race 2 after a charge that saw him 8th with 4 laps remaining. Gene and Oriola took a 1-2 finish at Lukoils home race in Sochi to close the fight for the championship right up. Oriola further closed the gap following a double podium at the Red Bull Ring and a win and a third in Thailand, including the team's second 1-2-3 of the season, to just 2 points going into the Finale in Macau. Gene also remains in the title hunt at the last round after his third victory of the season in Singapore.
Aston Martin Vantage GT3 (2014-2015)
As part of the link up with Craft Racing at the start of 2014, Craft Bamboo took over the entry of two GT3 Aston Martin Vantages in the GT Asia Championship, a highly regarded continental series where the team received technical back from Aston Martin Racing. The #97 car was driven all year by longtime Craft driver Frank Yu and was partnered by Australian V8 Supercar driver Warren Luff, Aston Martin Racing works driver Stefan Mucke and experienced GT racer Richard Lyons. The #99 car was shared through the season by several drivers with Jonathan Venter spending 3 weekends in the car.
After taking solid points in the opening round in Korea, the #97 driven by Lyons & Yu took pole position at the second race in Autopolis, Japan. They failed to take the win but still finished strongly in second place. The breakthrough win did come at round 7 in the team's home race in Malaysia with Mucke this time partnering Yu. The only win of the season. Solid results meant Yu was still in title contention heading into the final race at Macau but couldn't do enough to secure the title and ended up 7th in the standings. A DQ at round 4 in Autopolis and a DNF's at the following face at Fuji and another at round 9 in Malaysia ultimately costing him and the team. The team however did enough to finish second in the teams championship.
For 2015 Craft Bamboo announced the two Aston Martin Vantages would return for the season, both staffed with full-time drivers. Frank Yu would continue and partnered full-time with Richard Lyons, and in the #99 car Jonathon Venter secured a full-time drive with backing from Aston Martin and will partner former Manufacturer driver Darryl O'Young. The first round in Korea saw the #88 car of Lyons secure pole position and go on to take a third place. The spoils were shared out in the second race at O'Young and Venter in the #99 Aston Martin took an impressive race victory. During the summer Venter broke his leg in a cycling accident at home in Australia, and Brit Daniel Lloyd was drafted in to replace him in the #99 Aston. Lloyd took a podium on his opening weekend with O'Young in the 12 hours of Sepang race, and followed up with a double victory in Shanghai to allow the #99 car to take the championship lead with one event remaining.[31]Lloyd took a stunning last gasp victory in Shanghai, after being 5th at the end of a safety car period with 3 laps remaining completed an overtaking move round the outside of turn 1 to take the lead on the final lap. Qualifying issues in Thailand saw O'Young & Lloyd in the #99 start well down the grid while their main competitors scored a solid result meaning #99 would go into the final race level on points with their Bentley rivals of Song/Sawa, but starting behind them in second on the grid. O'Young sealed the drivers title for craft bamboo racing however with a fine victory.
Porsche 991 GT3 R (2016)
Craft-Bamboo Racing announced on Early 2016 that they would partner with Porsche Motorsport. As Craft-Bamboo Racing has been appointed the Official Technical Partner for Porsche Motorsport in the Asia-Pacific region. With the vast global reach of the Porsche platform, it will provide a solid foundation for the team to continue expanding its sports car programs, which includes a two-car championship title defense with the all-new Porsche 911 GT3 R in the 2016 GT Asia Series. Apart from the GT Asia Series, the Hong Kong based team will also compete with the 911 GT3 Rs in the FIA GT World Cup at the Macau Grand Prix, as well as the Sepang 12 Hour in December. 2017 will see the team return to the Mount Panorama in Australia, to tackle the Bathurst 12 Hours, where they will be looking to take the top step of the podium after scoring third place in 2015.[32]
Porsche 991 GT3 R (2017-2018)
#99 & #77 at Suzuka in the Blancpain GT Asia
In its inaugural season of the Blancpain GT Series Asia, Craft-Bamboo entered a pair of Porsche 911 GT3 Rs and sole Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR; With Frank Yu and Jean Marc-Merlin driving the GT4, and Darryl O'Young and Peter Li Zhi Cong driving a VLT sponsored 911 GT3 R. The Team won the GT4 Class Championship, and fourth in the GT3 Championship.[33] In the 2018 season, Craft-Bamboo entered pair of Porsche 911 GT3 Rs and a Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR.
Mercedes-AMG GT3 (2019-)
At the end of 2018, Craft-bamboo Racing announced that they will be switching to Mercedes-AMG as part of a new long-term partnership that will also see it compete in selected Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli rounds and the Macau FIA GT World Cup. Craft-Bamboo has confirmed that at least two Mercedes-AMG GT3 and a Mercedes-AMG GT4 will contest GT World Challenge Asia and GT4. With Craft-Bamboo Racing director Darryl O'Young believes the partnership will lift the team to new heights. For the 2019 season, Craft-Bamboo got fifth in the GT3 Team championship, and third in the GT3 Team championship.
It was announced at the end of 2015 that craft-bamboo would compete in the inaugural FIA GT World Cup with 3 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 cars as Aston Martins representative on the world stage. 2015 regulars Darryl O'Young and Richard Lyons were announced for the event in Macau, along with long time Aston Martin manufacturer driver Stefan Mucke. Mucke topped free practice two and qualifying to start the qualifying race in role position with O'Young 6th and Lyons, despite problems in free practice, starting 7th. Stefan Mucke won the qualifying race on the road but was handed a retrospective 10 second penalty for an infringement under the safety car which was triggered by Adderly Fong. In the main feature race Mucke had a race long battle with the Audis of multiple Macau Grand Prix winner Eduardo Mortara and team mate Rene Rast as well as the manufacturer Mercedes of Renger van der Zande. He eventually finished in 3rd place. O'Young finished in 5th place whilst Lyons crashed out on the opening lap.
Darryl O'Young started from the back of the grid after missing out on yesterday's qualifying session due to an incident in FP2 that forced the crew to rebuild the car. The #99 driver capitalized on a good rolling start, passing several cars on the first lap before a safety car period from lap two to five. The #99 VLT Porsche driven by Darryl O'Young was carelessly struck by Edoardo Mortara on the final lap of the FIA GT World Cup qualification race after the Hong Kong driver had driven a flawless 12 lap stint. The unnecessary maneuver forced O'Young out of the race and cost Craft-Bamboo Racing a P13 start position for Sunday's main event. After the crew assessed the damage, which originally only looked superficial, the rear part of the chassis was found to be bent and unable to be repaired.
Laurens Vanthoor was off to a magnificent start, moving up three places from his P9 starting position before filing in behind Raffaele Marciello as they wove through the city streets. Marciello soon hit the brakes hard and dove to the right, narrowly avoiding a parked Daniel Juncadella. Unfortunately, there was no way for Vanthoor to avoid the stricken Mercedes and he careened straight into its rear, starting a concertina effect that saw much of the field violently collide and create one of the biggest GT pileups in recent history. The race was instantly red flagged and the cars were cleared away, but with the level of damage sustained to the #911 EVISU Porsche, the weekend was over for Vanthoor. Darryl O'Young began his race from P16 and while he was not able to avoid the pileup he was lucky enough that his #991 VLT Porsche only suffered a damaged radiator and he was able to crawl back to the pits. The team did an exemplary job by quickly repairing the VLT Porsche in time for the race restart under the safety car and O'Young got underway again from P5. Struggling to find the pace, O'Young dropped a position before settling into a rhythm and putting his years of Macau experience to good use. He safely guided the VLT Porsche to the chequered flag to secure a P6 start position for the FIA GT World Cup's main race.
O'Young began the final race of the weekend from P6 under the safety car due to the wet conditions but was soon racing under a green flag from lap three. O'Young did well to defend his position from those behind, setting a good pace in the #991 VLT Porsche and using every inch of the circuit to keep his competitors at bay. The Hong Kong driver resisted the pressure and the many overtaking challenges that came with it over the coming laps, showing excellent defensive capabilities in the process before a safety car period began on lap six. When the race restarted on lap ten, O'Young instantly came under attack from Daniel Juncadella but the Macau expert firmly held his line into Lisboa and kept the Mercedes at bay. Unfortunately, the aggressive moves from behind continued as the Audi of Nico Muller charged up the rear of O'Young, hitting him from behind and spinning the #991 VLT Porsche into the barriers. Another safety car was called out in response and O'Young was able to get the Porsche back to the pits but the damage sustained was far too great to be repaired and he was forced to retire.
Craft-Bamboo Racing entered the 2018 FIA GT World Cup with Mathieu Jaminet and Darryl O'Young.
#77 & #88 at 2019 FIA GT World Cup.
Mercedes-AMG Team Craft-Bamboo Racing completes a challenging but rewarding weekend which saw Mercedes-AMG factory driver Edoardo Mortara in the #77 entry sponsored by Tsingtao fight through the field from 14th on the grid to finish 6th. An incredible feat considering that the car was hit from behind and damaged heavily in the Qualification Race on Saturday. In the sister Evisu-sponsored #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3, Macau debutant and Belgian young talent Alessio Picariello demonstrated exceptional abilities on this demanding street circuit, improving with every session and ran as high as P6 in the main race. However whilst defending against a BMW behind, he outbraked himself and had contact with the wall, forcing him to retire.
EuroMechanica joins Craft-Bamboo Racing as title sponsor for the #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R for the 2018 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour with an all Porsche factory driver line-up. Running a full factory driver line-up consisting of , Kevin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor and Earl Bamber, the trio will pilot the EuroMechanica backed #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R came fifth in the race. The team also entered in the 2018 Suzuka 10 Hours, with Kévin Estre Mathieu Jaminet and Laurens Vanthoor driving the #991 car.
From 2019 to 2020, Craft-Bamboo partnered up with Black Falcon Racing for the Bathurst 12 Hour. With the best results of fifth in 2020 after tyre puncture 20 minutes from the end destroyed any chances of a top-three finish. Craft-Bamboo also entered in the 2019 Suzuka 10 Hours, with Yelmer Buurman, Maximilian Götz, and Luca Stolz driving the #77 car.
Chan, Beche & Tse at 3 Hours of Fuji 2014
2014 also saw Craft Bamboo enter the Asian Le Mans series in the CN category with a solitary Ligier Morgan-Judd after initially confirming two CN cars alongside an LMP2 entry. A perfect season was completed with the squad taking class pole, victory and fastest lap at each of the four rounds as they were crowned Champions. Full season driver Kevin Tse also took the drivers title. Mathias Beche, Jonathan Venter, Samson Chan, Frank Yu and Naoki Yokomizo all drove for part of the season. Craft Bamboo would not return in 2015 to defend their title, choosing to focus on other series.
TCR Asia
In June 2015 Craft Bamboo announced their entry in to the inaugural 2015 TCR Asia Series,[34] a six event series.

Travel helps to fuel my artwork. The painting above was inspired by a recent trip to the Canadian Rockies.
Since my goal as an artist (and human being) is to touch people in a positive way, I thought that sharing this little bit of the peace of nature with you might be something you would enjoy today.
Here are some gorgeous photographs from Canada, along with a video to bring some peace into your day.
This was the view from our hotel in Banff. Ahh, feeling calmer just looking at it?
Also from our hotel in Banff as the evening started to set in.
Lake Morain in Banff. Look at that blue water!
An incredible spot in Jasper. I think this is my favorite photo from the trip.
One day we drove to Mount Robson and hiked along a glacial river to see the mountain and Berg Lake.
This picture is from that hike. My favorite day of our trip.
My plein air setup and a work in progress.
Working outdoors can be challenging .
Here are two incidents that illustrate what I mean. One situation made me smile, while the other made me shudder.
In retrospect I realize that both experiences enriched my life, even if only because I can share the stories with you.
Years ago, I was working outdoors at Burke Lake, which is a lovely park not far from my home. I was enjoying the day, when a dog and its owner approached me. The dog was a big dog— a cute mutt. I love dogs, and want to interact with them, but always ask the owner if their dog is friendly before I do so. This day was no different. The conversation went like this: Me, "Is your dog friendly?" Dog owner, "Oh yes! No problem." While stabilizing my easel with one hand, I reached out to pet the dog, who was mighty excited for the attention.
The dog and I shared a little mutual love, then dog and owner began to leave. As they both moved away from me, the owner shouted to her pup, "No biting!" After hearing this, I asked, "Does your dog BITE?" She responded, "Oh yes, and usually he goes right for the face." Good heavens. You just can't make these things up!
I bet that you know that I shuddered when the dog and his owner left.
Now, this experience made me smile. Recently, during a break from the rain, heat and humidity, I hurried outdoors to get some painting done. Running late, due to going to a site that yielded nothing for me, I went to a favorite spot.
As I was setting up, a fisherman decided that he would try his luck right next to me. I didn't realize how loud casting a line could be until he tried catching the attention of fish repeatedly. Each time he cast his line, I jumped. Fortunately, the fish were not interested, and he moved away. Finally, there was blessed peace and I could concentrate, which I did.
While taking a break and snapping a progress pic, I was startled by a loud crack. There was no evidence of what caused the noise, but one of my pastels had smacked to the pavement, and broken into pieces. I wondered if I had put the pastel stick down in a precarious position. When I found no solution to the mystery, I just continued my work.
While packing up to leave, I saw the culprit. An acorn had fallen from an overhead tree right onto my easel shelf, causing the pastel stick to "jump" onto the ground. Nature... it makes me smile...even when it destroys my supplies.
Do you paint outdoors? If not, why not? If you do, what's one of your interesting experiences?
For those of you who don't paint, share something interesting that happened while you were enjoying nature.
Please share in the comments below. I love interacting with you and hearing your stories.
Thanks so much to those of you who judged from the 3 pieces I submitted to the Pastel Society of America exhibition. I can tell you that no matter the choice of the judges, I am the winner having all of you supporting my art making journey. I am grateful.
You all spoke, and Remain Standing was selected by a wide margin, which I find interesting since Terrain (shown above) was selected by the judges.
I shipped the painting to NYC a few weeks ago, and it is now hanging in the exhibition.
As mentioned before, I am particularly happy about having my work selected this year. As a result of that selection, I am now officially a signature member of the Pastel Society of America. You may read my feelings about gaining that status here.
What I didn't tell you was exactly how competitive this show truly is. To give you an idea, there were around 1298 submissions and less that 180 paintings were selected. Those are some daunting numbers to say the least. So, gratitude is the word of the day for me!
The winner of the pack of notecards is being contacted via email because I want to protect people's privacy.
Again, thanks to everyone who gave me their opinions.
If you are in NYC between now and September 29, I hope that you go to see the show. Here are the particulars: Enduring Brilliance, September 4-29 at the National Arts Club, 15 Gramercy Park South, New York, NY.
My students often ask me how I know what I want to paint. They also say that they don't like to paint the same thing over and over. I am then reminded of this quote: "Write what you know," which is attributed to Mark Twain. I have read different opinions about the quality of his advice over the years and have come to believe that it is sound counsel. I also think that it can transfer to painting. Read on to see what I mean.
Think about it. Many of us are fascinated by other cultures. Personally, I am inspired by travel and seeing the unfamiliar.
That said, I believe that my most successful paintings evoke a feeling stimulated by being in a specific spot, and I find it most easy to express those emotions when painting something that is deeply entrenched in the core of my being.
My morning walk. Do you see how my work is inspired by the familiar?
We all find our peace in different places. My balance is always found in and among the trees and around water. Therefore, inspiration from my frequent walks finds its way into my work, whether I am in my home of Virginia or in distant locations as in the painting below.
So if you are looking for your next idea of what to create, look no further than your own backyard. You may be surprised by the wealth of inspiration to be found there.
When you look at the video that I have posted here, what do YOU see that is a common thread in my work? If you were going to emphasize something in the scene, what would you choose? Let me know in the comments below.
Happily, I recently found out that one of my paintings was selected for exhibition in the Pastel Society of America annual show, "Enduring Brilliance." The exhibition will be taking place in New York City from September 4 through September 29.
Having work selected for this show is always competitive, and this year was no different. I sent images of 3 of my latest pastel paintings to potentially be selected.
Unfortunately, I can't show you the one that was chosen for the show until the exhibition is hung on September 4.
Making lemonade out of that lemon, let's have some fun.
Tell me your favorite painting and why you think that your pick should be in the show in the comments below.
I will then put your name into a hat and whoever is selected will receive a gift of a package of notecards with my artwork on them.
PS. I will announce the winner on September 5. Be sure to check back here then. I will announce the winner in the comments, and we will figure out how to get your prize to you!
PSS. If you are interested in purchasing a reproduction or the original of one of these pieces just hit the little contact rectangle on the upper right of your screen (with my email address), and let me know.
For those who couldn't make it to the show, here's a video.
So, what's a gratitude sandwich? Well, have you ever heard of the sandwich method of giving constructive criticism? With the sandwich method, one puts positive comments at the beginning and end of the discussion, and the meat of the matter is in the middle. That "meat" is the constructive comment that isn't quite so positive.
A gratitude sandwich is different than the sandwich method because there is no criticism. It's all hearts and flowers.
I have nothing but hearts and flowers to report about my trip back to my home state, and my solo show at Taylor Books in Charleston, West Virginia.
I find that when I am feeling low, thinking of things that make me grateful is beneficial.
When I am feeling on top of the world, thinking about what I am thankful for makes me feel even better.
Do you practice gratitude in your life?
Here's a list of all that I appreciated regarding this particular show, and my time in West Virginia. I include it here as a public thank you.
I would love to hear what you are grateful for in the comments below.
* I am grateful to a dear friend for recommending me to the gallery director at Taylor Books.
* I am grateful for the gallery director and store manager of Taylor books for picking my work up at my studio in the pouring rain and delivering it to Charleston. That is no small feat because it continued to rain, and 12 hours total in the car isn't fun for anyone.
* While we're at it, I am grateful that the work was handled with care and displayed beautifully.
* I am grateful for the beautiful postcards that were printed announcing this show.
* West Virginia is stunning, and I am thrilled that I got to spend time in "my" mountain state.
* I am grateful that 2 of my friends from Northern Virginia were able to be there at my artist talk and reception to enjoy the hospitality of the people in my home state.
* I am grateful that after decades of enjoying Blenko Glass, I was able to visit the facility and buy more glassware.
* I am eternally appreciative of my friends who came, some from long distances, to see my work, visit with me, and hear me speak about my art.
* I am extremely grateful to those who purchased my work. Thank YOU!
* I am especially thankful for having time to see my family of choice in West Virginia. You know who you are and I love you all.
* Finally, I am grateful for all of you who read my emails, blogposts and social media feeds. Thank YOU!
A grouping of my paintings displayed at Taylor Books Annex Gallery. Love seeing them grouped this way.
One of the things that I am truly grateful for is my communications with you. Please let me know what you are grateful for in the comments below.
While teaching a workshop in southern France in 2013, I traveled to Aix en Provence to visit Paul Cezanne's studio. For me, this visit was like a pilgrimage because I have felt transported spiritually by viewing Cezanne's work for years.
We were warned that no photographs were allowed. There were stern women standing guard. If a camera or phone was whipped out of a bag or pocket the offender was roundly chastised in a barrage of disparaging French.
As you can see, in his letter, Cezanne discloses his displeasure with a piece on which he was working. More importantly, he thanks his fellow artist friend, Claude Monet, for his moral support. This is something that we all need, and I count myself fortunate to have wonderful friends that are walking the same path that I am in making art. I receive support from them that I treasure.
Isn't it wonderful to learn unexpected things from those whose work inspires us? Isn't it even more wonderful to have the support of understanding friends?
Here are a few of my favorites from Cezanne Portraits at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
Cezanne is best known for his still life and landscape painting. I think that perhaps the reason that this piece appeals to me so much is that, although it is a portrait, I can see the landscape qualities in the composition. Do you see the similarities to a tree in the pose of the adolescent here? The background drapery even has a tree trunk quality to it. The complimentary color scheme of green and red is utilized to great effect as well.
This painting was riveting to me. I tend to gravitate to complimentary color schemes and this painting is no exception, with blue and orange dominating. Again, their are landscape elements present in this piece. Cezanne utilized a painted screen that he had made in the past as the background.

Q: How to get number of remaining keys in semaphore? If declaring a semaphore in SystemVerilog using:
  semaphore sem = new(2);

Is there any way that a process can get information about the number of remaining keys in the semaphore?
There is no num method/attribute defined for the semaphore class, like there is for the mailbox class, which strikes me as odd.

A: Because the answer you would get from such a method is no longer valid as soon as returns. Management of semaphore keys is something you need wrap around its usage. A mailbox is one such example of wrapping queues and semaphores together.
IMHO, a semaphore is a base class level primitive that an end-user should never use directly.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - The VA is on a mission to end suicide among veterans. 20 percent of the veterans who return from combat will experience symptoms of depression or other mental health concerns.
One former veteran, Don Malin, says he has been in their shoes and he wants to do everything he can to help save a life.
"You can take the veteran out of combat, but not the combat out of the veteran. They are struggling at home because of some of the stuff that they have been through, and unfortunately some of them take their own life and we try to help way before that happens," says Mailin.
Suicide prevention coordinator, Brandon Dobson, has family in the military so he has a special place in his heart for veterans.
"Suicide is the tenth cause of death in the U.S. so working here at the VA with veterans who are in need of services because they are at a higher risk of suicide is something I really wanted to work with. They have served out country so we should serve them," says Dobson.
Psychologist, Dr. Dinesh Miattal, tells us he wants to reach out to as many veterans in need as he can.
He says, "The good this is most veterans are able to manage stress themselves but some are not, and there is help for that."
He tells us, out of the 20 veterans who will commit suicide everyday, 14 of those veterans are not receiving care at the VA. He says it is more important than ever to get veterans the help they need, so they know they are not alone.
If you know a veteran in need of help please reach out to the Veterans crisis line at 1-800-273-8255 | EXT 1.
