A police officer serving with the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) interacts with residents of an internally displaced persons (IDPs) camp, near El Fasher, capital of North Darfur. Community-oriented policing leverages community partnerships to prevent and deter violence, and help design more resilient, sustainable protection strategies. It can also contribute to confidence building between local communities and state security actors. (2014) (Photo by Albert González Farran)
Eric learned how painful community service can be. This picture was taken with my fraternity brothers at Lake People Park. This is one of two new parks being created by the organization Friends of Goat Hill. home.comcast.net/~fogh
Village Badammage toli, Block Namkum, District Ranchi. Jharkhand, India..Anganwadi workers attends discussion on safe delivery, breastfeeding, immunisation, and other essential care practices during pregnancy and early childhood at Anganwadi Kendra in Ranchi. Anganwadi worker in every targeted village teams up with a small group of local resource people who are then given a basic training in nutrition, childcare and hygiene. Once trained, the team visits pregnant women and mothers of newborns in their homes to educate them about safe delivery, breastfeeding, immunisation, and other essential care practices during pregnancy and early childhood UNICEF is prioritizing reducing the high malnutrition and child mortality rates, and reaching out to millions of families in Jharkhand to address these concerns. The Dular strategy, which trains village women to counsel new mothers about breastfeeding and proper nutrition, is a successful approach that is already expected to prevent about one quarter of newborn deaths and save the lives of thousands of older babies and children. The Dular initiative is of particular importance to tribal children who are most vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and education disparities, as prejudice, isolation and misunderstanding make it difficult for these families to access services.

Next up was an L33 from Bulwell to QMC - the service will be finishing at the end of next month, so I thought it'd be a wise move to take a trip on one.
FJ07DLU was our vehicle of choice for it, a Mercedes-Benz minibus - no idea what the exact details are, apologies. (If you know though, please leave me a comment below!)
It's seen here circling QMC awaiting a stop becoming available after arrival from Bulwell, and before going out to Phoenix Park at 1600.
All locallink vehicles are due for replacement shortly with Solo EV's.

On the road that the Pisgah Covered Bridge is on (which, by the way is NOT the Pisgah Covered Bridge Road) there sits the Union Community Center. The building is unexceptional except in the way that is nestles amongst the trees. Because of this one may think that it was a waste of time to photograph the place. But, this is my reasoning. Here is a tiny community. In today's world small, out of the way places are going the way of the dinosaur. Perhaps several years from now someone will be looking for a picture of the old community building where, as a kid, they used to go with their family to watch a movie, play cards or games or have potluck dinners. They may think to find a picture of the old community center to help their memories of the past be more real and alive. With this photo, I offer them that place in a moment of time that may comfort them in their memories.
What used to be a thriving community garden, with cafe, theatre, seats all around, surrounded by good graffiti. Turned into a complete wasteland. It looks slightly different now, but still fenced off from public use.

I spotted this at both the bike racks in the corner where I usually park at the central library. It demonstrates several important things about the Seattle bike community:
1) there is such a thing
2) its members are public-spirited enough to share information like this
3) there are many summer cyclists naive enough to use cable locks on expensive bikes. [I should mention that I was one once].
4) judging by reports on message boards, we do experience quite a high rate of bike theft, but it's pretty much entirely restricted to the low-hanging fruit of bikes that can be stolen without picking a lock.

I was stationed twice in Hawaii in the past; I did almost three years each time. The truth is that I always felt like an isolato on the island. In my defense I can only state that I never got to experience Hawaii more than a few months at the time; I was either in the field getting ready for war, or fighting the war, or returning from the war.
This time I decided to change that. I don’t want just to be another hāʻole visiting the island. I want to be as local as I can get; I want to be a part of the community. I figured that the best way to become a part of the community is by doing community service.
It just happened that Mālama Loko Ea (www.lokoea.org/Loko_Ea/E_Hoala_E_Hoomau.html) fishpond restoration project needed some volunteers. They meet every third Saturday of the month. What is a better way to spend a frigid February morning then to wade around an ancient Hawaiian fishpond? Just kidding, it doesn’t really get cold here. But some of the snowy Facebook photos of my friends on the mainland did give me the chills.
This was an awesome experience. The day started with a prayer in Hawaiian. That was the first time I actually heard Hawaiian language spoken by a real person, and I was mesmerized by it. Then the workload was divided among all the volunteers. I volunteered for filling out sandbags because I wanted my two little keiki to play in the sand. Twenty two years ago my recruiter promised me that the Army will teach me valuable skills that I could use in the civilian life; as it turns out he was not lying. I don’t think that there was a single volunteer present who had as much of sandbag filling experience as yours truly.
After all sandbags were filled, I spent the rest of the day removing the invasive plants that started to take over the pond. The day ended with the score: Volunteers 1; Invasive Plants: 0.
They fed us a delicious lunch at the end of the work day. We all held hands and prayed in Hawaiian before the food was served. I mean others prayed and I just listened, because my Hawaiian is still too limited. If you ever find yourself in Hawaii on the third Saturday of the month you should also volunteer at the Mālama Loko Ea fishpond.
Word of the Day
isolato \ahy-suh-LEY-toh\, noun:
a person who is spiritually isolated from or out of sympathy with his or her times or society.
Also, in the years since the events you are investigating, my life has been that of an isolato, a shepherd on a mountaintop, situated as far from so-called civilization as possible, and it has made me unnaturally brusque and awkward.
-- Russell Banks, Cloudsplitter, 1998
There is, of course, Paul's unremitting aloneness: he is in every sense an isolato, and if this state is elicited by his impertinence and his refusal to conform, it is brought about as well by the inability of all those around him to perceive either his uniqueness or his pain.
-- Philip Stevick, The American Short Story, 1984
The most predictable Justices now on the Court, Antonin Scalia and Thomas, seem brooding isolatoes, openly contemptuous of the doctrinal laxness of their brethren.
-- Louis Menand, "Decisions, Decisions," The New Yorker, July 11, 2005
Isolato was popularized by Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick. The word comes through Italian from the Latin word insulātus meaning "made into an island."

When Local Link announced it was going to withdraw all its local bus services in Torbay after 1st April, no operator came forward to take over the 60/61 service between Paignton and Torquay. This service operates around a number of hilly estates between the two towns and its loss would have caused considerable hardship.
Torbay Community Development Trust (TCDT) stepped in at short notice to provide a replacement service from Monday 3rd April, using an Optare Solo SR with "Our Bus" branding, operating on a two-hourly frequency (the route had been hourly previously) and largely using volunteer drivers. A second Solo SR has now been acquired and KX15 BMU, in allover white and as yet devoid of fleetnames, is seen approaching journey's end in Torquay Road, Paignton on Tuesday 9th May, its destination display already set for the return journey - all journeys are now operated as service 60 (previously journeys towards Torquay were numbered 61).
TCDT has also taken the Mybus community bus operation in Brixham under its wing; this was started in September 2015 to operate evening buses over Brixham local routes 17 and 18/18a after Stagecoach had withdrawn these the previous March. TCDT is now thought to be looking to reinstate parts of Torquay local routes 64 and 65 which have not operated since Local Link pulled out at the beginning of April, and the loss of which has caused hardship at locations where there are no practical alternative bus services.
Great piece of industrial hardware, the legacy of Navy on-board machine shop, quite old, but in great working condition. Feels like made in WWII times. Acid-etched gear charts are just perfect.
