/ Cheyenne as Jayne Mansfield and I /
Heartfelt gratitude to everyone who traipsed downstairs to Fontaine’s Bamboo Lounge Wednesday night for the Lobotomy Room film club presentation of MANSFIELD 66/67! It was gratifying to see the FULL-to-capacity house enthusiastically embrace the shocking-pink, ultra-kitsch vision of filmmakers Todd Hughes and P David Ebersole! As you can see, we even had an attendee styled as Jayne Mansfield herself! Watching MANSFIELD 66/67 over cocktails proved to be a devil worshipin’ good time! Remember: the DVD is out NOW via Pecadillo Pictures! Further date for your Lobotomy Room-related social calendar: the next boozy, punky Lobotomy Room dance party is Friday 29 June – which, by some satanic coincidence represents the 51st anniversary of Jayne Mansfield’s death! (What are the odds of that happening?!). Putrid details here: www.facebook.com/events/2061380394120058/

The seminar, Capacity Development: Building Institutions and Beyond, will explore the challenges and hard choices involved in developing institutional capacity. Strengthening state institutions, such as central banks and finance ministries, can contribute to economic stability and growth, but often requires a coherent change-management reform agenda and strong political leadership. What does “building institutions” really mean for those who implement changes on the ground? What can countries and development partners do to strengthen institutions? How can capacity development efforts become more conducive to sustainable development? These questions will be discussed during the Capacity Development session at the IMF headquarters during the 2019 IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings April 10, 2019 in Washington, DC. IMF Staff Photograph

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken in the third full week of November 2014. There's a big drop-off in activity on this site now. Continued removal of equipment, back to base or other construction sites. The last 'crawler crane' is being stripped down. Heavy-duty vehicular access to the far bank is restricted by the width and load-bearing capacity of the temporary bridge at Coburg, meaning that the crane has to propel itself out and across the river to a waiting low-loader. The boom arm of the 50-ton CCH3000 Crawler Crane is broken down into sections, and shipped out by truck. A Liebherr LTM 1050/1 All Terrain Mobile Crane was used for the job. The steep angle of the bank meant that the attending CAT 3300L had to nudge and lift the crawler crane at critical moments. These guys knew what they were doing, had done it many times before and never faltered for a moment. A great lunch-hour show for me to watch.
This little montage features a veritable gathering of four Mean Green Machines.

In partnership with the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP), FAO Indigenous Peoples team in OPCA and the Land Tenure team in NRC built a one-year capacity-development programme specifically designed with and for Indigenous Peoples. Its aim is to explore how they can use the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in support of their land tenure rights. Built around the most common challenges faced by indigenous peoples, the first trainings took place in November in Assam and Odisha respectively for North East and Central India and will continue in Indonesia and Central America.

Approaching Amsterdam Schiphol airport and seeing this huge trainset with 12 double coaches. That`s capacity! Mind that this does not even fit on the platform. This is also intended like this because the train is an Intercity train and the platform only for local trains. However, interesting...
Some more details for the freaks: The picture shows Intercity 3060 on its way from Utrecht to Amsterdam (due 18:46h). So that means, less than 10 minutes more to go top its next stop.

With the S24 schedule now in full swing, whilst some airlines have already adjusted capacity especially for the coming months, but many have begun to make changes to the upcoming W24 schedule due to commence from late-October 2024.
For British Airways, the flag-carrier has history of making changes to their operating schedules well in advance; with all Airbus A350-1000s having been delivered they will continue to make inroads in the carrier's long-haul network, whilst refurbishment of their Boeing 777 fleet ongoing as well as the Boeing 787-8/9s beginning their respective treatment will see notable routes either seeing capacity increases or decreases.
British Airways focus during 2024 and onwards will see the continued delivery of Boeing 787-10s, with just 7 in service with a further 11 examples to be delivered. The type are a natural successor to the early Boeing 777-200ERs, focusing on sub-10 hour flights due to them not featuring dedicated crew-rest facilities.
Very recently, British Airways did begin to make adjustments to their W24 schedule, due to commence from 27th October 2024; notable changes will see Boeing 787-10s generally deployed westwards along the Atlantic Ocean. As per the ever reliable AeroRoutes, here the following changes in regards to Boeing 787-10 deployment:
-Bridgetown-Grantley Adams: Increases from daily to twice daily; BA155/154 utilises Boeing 787-9s, whilst BA255/254 utilises Boeing 787-10s.
-Dallas-Fort Worth: BA193/192 continues to operate daily, Boeing 787-10s expected to replace Airbus A380s.
-Denver: BA219/218 operates daily, Boeing 787-10s to replace Airbus A350-1000s.
-Washington-Dulles: Twice daily operations which sees BA217/216 utilising Boeing 787-9/10s, whilst BA293/292 utilising Boeing 787-10s replacing Boeing 777-200ER/300ERs.
At present, much of the changes are preliminary, and it is becoming the Boeing 787-10s are making further inroads to British Airways network within the United States and the Caribbean. Further changes are expected in the coming months.
Currently, British Airways operates 37 Boeing 787s, which includes 12 Boeing 787-8s, 18 Boeing 787-9s and 7 Boeing 787-10s. British Airways have 11 Boeing 787-10s on-order.
Zulu Bravo Lima Delta is one of 7 Boeing 787-10s operated by British Airways, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 8th April 2023 and she is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.

Hulls built by Souter Marine (later SAR Composites at Lymington), and tubes by Avon. Final assembly completed at the RNLI Inshore Lifeboat Centre at Cowes, Isle of Wight. The Atlantic 85 replaced the Atlantic 75 in RNLI service.
Communications and navigation Includes
Fitted and hand-held VHF (very high frequency) radio
intercom (Atlantic 85 only)
onboard global positioning system (GPS)
radar (Atlantic 85 only)
VHF direction-finding (VDF) equipment (Atlantic 85 only)
electronic chart
The Atlantic 85 is part of the B-class of lifeboats that serve the shores of the United Kingdom and Ireland as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet.
The Atlantic 85 is the third generation B-class Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) developed from the Atlantic 21 and the later Atlantic 75. The Atlantic design of the B-class of lifeboats is named after Atlantic College, where the design was originally developed.
Design
The hull is constructed in a fibre reinforced composite, consisting of a carbon fibre and foam core laminate with an epoxy glass and foam sandwich layup. The tubes are Hypalon.
The boat is powered by twin 115 hp (86 kW) Yamaha 4-stroke outboard engines that have been inversion-proofed to ensure the engines are still operational after a capsize.
Like previous RIBs, it has a manually operated self-righting mechanism that deploys an airbag mounted atop the A-frame. It is capable of being beached in an emergency without sustaining damage to engines or steering gear. The Atlantic 85 is fitted with radar and VHF direction finding equipment and can be operated safely in daylight in a force 6/7 and at night in a force 5/6.
The Atlantic 85 also has intercom communications between the crew and VHF radio via their helmets, DGPS & Chartplotter. It also carries a searchlight, night-vision equipment and illuminating paraflares for night-time operations.
To ensure equipment is kept to a high standard of repair, boats go through annual or bi-annual overhauls, and 4-year refits.
