From the electricity that powers Army Reserve facilities, to the fuel that powers their vehicles, energy touches nearly every aspect of the Army Reserve’s mission. Conserving power can help protect our energy future.

However, we all face threats to our energy security; from increasing global demands to natural disasters, fluctuating fuel costs and innovative adversarial attacks like cyber weapons. Conservation helps ensure Soldiers have the energy they need, when and where they need it, to accomplish their missions – at home and abroad, now and in the future. The Army Reserve is also focused on prioritizing energy and water security requirements to ensure Soldiers always have available, reliable power and water to continuously sustain critical missions.

Energy Action Month is an opportunity for the Army Reserve Energy Program to help the public understand the important role everyone can play in energy conservation and resiliency and offer practical, smart energy tips that everyone can implement in their daily lives.
Simple ways for everyone to reduce their energy footprint include:
Weathering your home to eliminate air leaks and adding insulation
 Replacing your incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or light emitting diodes (LEDs)
 Creating a more energy efficient office by using natural light wherever possible
 Powering down computer monitors at end of each day
 Unplugging electronics that aren’t in use for extended periods and using power strips
 Recycle packaging materials like paper and cardboard, as we continue to increase shipping supplies to our homes

COL Martin Naranjo, Director of Army Reserve Installation Management Directorate will be available to help your audience learn more about reducing their carbon footprint. COL Naranjo will also discuss the energy conservation innovations employed by the U.S. Army Reserve and how the public can similarly do their part to reduce energy waste.

HIV has been thrust into the spotlight recently, with innovative new therapies becoming available and the President pledging to end transmissions of the virus in the U.S. by 2030.

In just three decades, HIV has gone from an untreatable virus to one that is manageable with the right treatment regimen. Clinicians and people living with HIV can now focus on addressing the quality of life challenges that remain, namely those associated with stigma and the overall impact of lifelong therapy.

Some HIV advances in the past few years include:
• Increased awareness and new information related to transmission – when the virus is undetectable it is untransmittable
• Understanding the challenges facing people living with HIV while taking HIV medications over a lifetime
• New HIV treatment focused on decreasing exposure to the number of antiretroviral medications

Dr. Debbie Hagins, Medical Director of Coastal CARE Clinics in Savannah, Georgia, who is also an Infectious Disease specialist and HIV clinical investigator, research and advances in HIV.

The last World’s Fair was hosted in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in 1965 and was themed “Peace Through Understanding.” Millions of visitors attended the fair to explore the countries that were represented from around the world.

Now, more than 50 years later, Schneps Communications will be reimagining one of the most iconic fairs by hosting “The World’s Fare” at CitiField. Over 100 vendors will come together in New York City’s most diverse borough and unite through authentic food, drink and music curated by the city’s leading culinary advocates. The World’s Fare will be a grand celebration, advocating equality & diversity in the food industry, and promoting incredible male and female talent that make New York City’s food scene so unique.

The World’s Fare has formed a culinary committee co-chaired by renowned Danish chef Claus Meyer, American author, journalist and culinary historian Doctor Jessica B. Harris and Singapore based KF Seetoh who is the creator and curator of The World Street Food Congress. Meyer, Harris and Seetoh will champion and support chefs, restaurants, street food vendors and food businesses participating in the event.

“The World’s Fare is an opportunity to sample some of the finest flavors the world has to offer, all in one venue,” said celebrity chef, entrepreneur and philanthropist Meyer. “This is a unique opportunity, one that not only reflects the incredible diversity of Queens but is rooted in the passion of the many peoples who have traveled from across the globe to call this great borough home. I can’t wait to join the other passionate foodies. We are excited to discover and celebrate what is surely to be the culinary event of the year.”

“If you celebrate your affinity for world communities through its flavors via humble cooks that express their heritage and progressive cultures on an affordable platter, then this is a great celebration,” said Seetoh. “And The World’s Fare could become the finest festivals to experience it at. World street food is not just about eating off a street cart or truck, it is a culinary culture that 80% of the world feed on and enjoys regularly, across many platforms- because it resonates and bonds. Enjoy the food, and digest the culture.”

The Melting Pot Foundation USA, the nonprofit organization founded by Meyer, will be onsite at The World’s Fare to communicate the community culinary center’s mission of
offering delicious and accessible healthy foods and career training in the culinary arts. One dollar of every ticket sold will go to The Melting Pot Foundation USA and special VIP tickets will be sold to experience a food tour at The World’s Fare with Chef Meyer and food guru Seetoh.

A fantastic team of the City’s leading culinary voices have signed on to curate the diverse food offerings at The World’s Fare lead by:  Liza Mosquito deGuia, Founder, Chief Storyteller & TV Host for food. curated.  Joe DiStefano, Queens Food Writer & Adventurer, Chopsticks & Marrow  Curtiss Calleo – Founder of The Gastronauts, The Club for Adventurous Eaters  Fany Gerson – Founder & Chef of La NewYorkina & Dough  Chris Cheung – Chef/Owner, East Wind Snack Shop, Brooklyn, NY & Chef/Partner Tansuo, Nashville  Russell Jackson – TV Host & Chef of Subculture Dining  Chitra Agrawal – Founder of Brooklyn Delhi & Author of Vibrant India  Niko Triantafillou – Food Writer & Dessert Enthusiast  Michael Stewart – Director of Food Outreach, Kickstarter  Dave Cook – Photojournalist, Eating in Translation  Clarice Lam, Chef/Owner of The Baking Bean  Sonya Samuel, Founder & Owner, Bacchanal Sauce LLC

“When it comes to passion, diversity and creativity in food, there is nothing like New York City,” said Liza deGuia, the founder of food. curated. who is leading curations for the festival. “I wanted to assemble a team of local tastemakers who are experts or enthusiasts in specific cuisines, people who always aim to uncover the latest dishes and shine a light on small, specialty food businesses who are doing something different, something that expands our exposure to new cultures and flavors. Each tastemaker will hand-select vendors to cover a wide array of foods to showcase at The World’s Fare. We want the selection to be both affordable and unique with a main goal: to create wonder in bite sized experiences.”

The World’s Fare will be hosted Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29, in the parking lot of iconic Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. The ballpark is centrally located in New York City, near the 7 line and a short distance from Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The location is intended to bring back memories of the World’s Fairs of the past, by being in the shadow of the landmarks and structures that were built around them, including the Unisphere and the New York State Pavilion.

“Our political climate has never called for a greater opportunity to embrace and celebrate ethnic and cultural diversity. The Festival embraces everything great about New York City, its people and food,” said Joshua Schneps, The World’s Fare President and Organizer.

In addition to the food and drink offerings, throughout the weekend live music will be performed by bands representing about a dozen cultures as well as a SUMO demonstration from World Champions, art installations including Lego art, 4 dimensional drawings, street art and painted scripture.
Event Highlights Chefs, restaurants and street food vendors representing as many as 100 cultures.

An expertly curated international beer garden will offer tastings of over 80 craft beers from about 45 breweries.

Awards for best food determined by committee members and tastemakers.

Visitors’ choice award for top vendor determined by attendees.
