Transparent and stable policies, legal frameworks and incentives are critical to the promotion of responsible investment in agriculture. That is why FAO is raising awareness among parliamentarians about the importance of enabling legal frameworks capable of fostering more and better investment in agriculture in order to achieve SDG 1 and 2.

Design
Built in the Brutalist architectural style between 1968 and 1969, designed by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership with E. H. Stazicker, it has a capacity of 80 double-decker buses, 40 along each side of the building. Some claim that it is the second largest bus station in Western Europe. Pedestrian access to the Bus Station is through any of three subways, one of which links directly to the adjacent Guild Hall, while the design also incorporates a multi-storey car park of five floors with space for 1,100 cars.
The building's engineers, Ove Arup and Partners, designed the distinctive curve of the car park balconies "after acceptable finishes to a vertical wall proved too expensive, contributing to the organic, sculptural nature of the building. The edges are functional, too, in that they protect car bumpers from crashing against a vertical wall. The cover balustrade protects passengers from the weather by allowing buses to penetrate beneath the lower parking floor."
Threatened demolition
The building is threatened with demolition as part of the City Council's Tithebarn redevelopment project. In 2000, opposition to the demolition led to a failed application for listed building status by English Heritage. Preston Borough Council (as it was then known) opposed the application.
Putting forward the case for a smaller terminus, a report, commissioned by the council and Grosvenor in 2000, stated that "buses arriving and leaving the bus station have very low bus occupancy rates indicating that passengers alight and board elsewhere in the town centre. The bus station car park similarly suffers from the poor pedestrian linkages." Listing was subsequently rejected.
On October 11, 2005, Preston City Council and developer Grosvenor Holdings signed an agreement to go ahead with the Tithebarn redevelopment project, which calls for the demolition of the current bus station.
A survey conducted by the Lancashire Evening Post in May 2010 found that Preston Bus Station was Preston people's favourite building.
A further application to list the bus station was rejected in 2010 and a review of the decision was turned down in 2011. It featured on the 2012 World Monument Fund's list of sites at risk.
It featured in a song on the show All Over the Place.
Day 3 - Travel to Spain (Barcelona) - June 2023
La Monumental
The Plaza de Toros Monumental de Barcelona, often known simply as La Monumental, is a bullring in the city of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last bullfighting arena in commercial operation in Catalonia. It was inaugurated in 1914 under the name Plaza de El Sport and was soon expanded and given its current name in 1916. It is situated at the confluence of the Gran Via and Carrer Marina (Marina Street) in the Eixample district. It has a capacity of 19,582 within 26 rows of lines, boxes, and stands on the first floor inside and an upper gallery surrounding the building.
It was the last place in Catalonia where bullfights were held (in 2011) since the Parliament of Catalonia passed a law banning bullfighting events on 28 July 2010 that came into force in 2012. Though the ban was overturned in 2016, no further bullfights had taken place as of July 2020.
It is owned by the Balana family, who placed it under the control of the Casa Matilla, an organisation which manages a number of bullrings. The plaza is currently used for sporting, musical and circus events.
The building was originally built in the noucentista architectural style, the work of Manuel Joaquim Raspall i Mayol. The expansion work was done by Ignasi Mas i Morell and Domenec Sugranes i Gras to give it its current facade, strongly influenced by Mudejar and Byzantine architecture.[4] It is one of the larger public arenas in Barcelona, with a capacity of 19,582 for bullfights or about 25,000 for events such as rock concerts (using part of the ring for spectators).

Every bike in the family was carrying it's full capacity (in volume, at least, if not weight). Even Úna had to bring home stuff from Costco (we haven't been for awhile, so we were low on everything).
With a refrigerated deck and 2 illuminated mid shelves, more of the product can be displayed than standard flat deck counters
We came across an old fallout shelter sign at the now-defunct (and quite grungy) Seattle Steam Company. The building seems to have been in disuse for a very long time, and the company itself now operates about 4 blocks away in a new plant.
The Embassy recently held a two-day workshop involving specialized capacity building training in Barbados for 35 representatives of NGO’s and community groups. The training focused on grants management and was led by Linda Jacobs Washington, a recognized expert in organizational/business management; strategic planning with focus on vision, mission accomplishment, guiding principles, customer service and quality improvement.
We stopped at another little beach park in the town of Angola, New York, population 2,787. Angola was one of a line of similar little towns full of retirees and vacationers and a few people lucky (or unlucky, depending on your temperament) enough to have been born in a resort town. Their beach was as nice as any Lake Erie beach, meaning it was a bit bedraggled but good enough. They had a fairly limited beach capacity, though. I don't know who enforces that. A fire marshal, maybe. You don't want a bunch of people trapped on the beach if the sand catches fire.
Editor's Note: Another photographic problem I had on this trip and, just, in general is that I've been shooting through a tinted polarizer lens, and that's thrown off the colors slightly. It's also old and scratched and weathered, and I think it's been throwing off the autofocus. (I'm firmly an autofocus guy. My vision through the viewfinder isn't good enough to do it manually.) I've since taken the polarizer off, and I think the results have been better. I haven't decided whether to get a new polarizer, or just shoot without it from now on.
On October 8, 2014, the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (CWEL) at Babson College sponsored Mass Innovation Night: Women Founders at Workbar in Cambridge, MA. This was the first Mass Innovation night featuring all women founders. Workbar was filled to capacity with hundreds of attendees. The businesses that were featured were: On the Dot Books (Yooree Losordo); FedWell Pet Foods (Emily Lagasse); Orora Global Inc. (Savitha Sridharan and Marissa Goldstein); Medlio (Lori Mehen); Brass (Jocelyn “Jay” Hallstein); WeGush (Martha Huntley); 19th Amendment (Amanda Curtis); Booze Époque (Meaghan Sinclair); and ReFleece (Jennifer Feller).

We worked with Tseshaht and Hupacasath Fisheries to host a field trip that highlighted the different opportunities in the marine and fisheries industries. Four teachers and eight students in total in grade 8 through 12 from the 8th Avenue Learning Centre joined us for a day on the Somass River - it was a great day! May 22 2018

The 106 year old General Paint factory at Raymur Ave (across from Strathcona Park) was recently demolished.
General Paint was purchased in 2013 by Sherwin-Williams of Ohio who then decided to close the Vancouver facility in 2017.
Sherwin-Williams made nearly $12 billion dollars in 2016. 40 local jobs were lost.
