They will perch just about anywhere and I caught this Brown Pelican on an old stump sticking out of the water on Armand Bayou near Bay Area Park. At rest but still keeping a wary eye out ol' canoe boy to make sure he doesn't get too close.

DMack Carlisle Stages Rally 2017
DMACK has been confirmed as title sponsor for the 2017 Carlisle Stages (Saturday 10 June), which will take in 43 stage miles in the Kershope and Newcastleton complexes for contenders in the BTRDA Rally Series and several regional championships.
The rally will be a round of the Ravenol BTRDA Rally Series, the MSA English Rally Championship, the S G Petch Association of North East and Cumbria Car Clubs Stage Rally Championship and the Association of Northern Car Clubs Forest Challenge.
Building on the success of the first four editions of the DMACK Carlisle Stages, the Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club will run a compact event based close to junction 43 of the M6 at Carlisle and running over superb stages.
The rally will be based at H&H Auctions in Carlisle and will cover 43 stage miles. Less than 10 miles of stage will be double-used, thus ensuring the best possible road conditions. The first car will start at 8.01am and be back at the finish at around 3pm on this compact event.
Or intentional camera movement with a compact camera!
The camera club at work has set the challenge of Drag Blurs and Radial Zooms, and while the latter needs a CSC or SLR with zoom lens, the thought was that those with compact cameras could achieve the former, so I set out to prove it!
In Gestalt von Erich Honecker ist der beliebte Kabarettist Uwe Steimle auf einer Demonstration gegen die Corona-Politik im thüringischen Schmalkalden aufgetreten. Circa 800 Menschen drängten sich auf dem Altmarkt und in den umliegenden Gässchen. Wichtige Argumente für die Freiheit und gegen den neuen Totalitarismus finden Sie in COMPACT-Aktuell Corona-Diktatur. Hier mehr erfahren.
Während Maßnahmen-Gegner am Pfingstwochenende in Berlin von der Polizei regelrecht durch die Stadt gejagt worden sind, hatten sie in der thüringischen Provinz leichteres Spiel: Für die Kundgebung im kleinen Schmalkalden am Montag gab es zwar eine Teilnehmerbegrenzung von 500, doch immerhin durfte sie stattfinden. Das ist nach Verabschiedung des Bevölkerungsschutzgesetzes in Deutschland keine Selbstverständlichkeit.
Bemerkenswert ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die zum politischen Wegweiser erklärte Inzidenz in Schmalkalden eigentlich viel höher liegt als in der Hauptstadt. Im Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen beträgt sie aktuell 92,9, in Berlin hat sie bereits die 50er-Marke unterschritten.
Das grüne Herz schlägt
Vielleicht liegt es auch an der guten Luft im waldreichen Freistaat, dass die Behörden dort noch halbwegs vernünftig entscheiden. In jedem Fall aber spielen die starken oppositionellen Strukturen eine Rolle, die sich während des Lockdowns gebildet haben und die allen Widerständen zum Trotz regelmäßig für Protestveranstaltungen sorgen.
In Schmalkalden ist es das Organisationstalent Ralph Eckhardt, Gründer des Neuen Schmalkaldischen Bundes, dem es immer wieder gelingt, hunderte Bürger in der Altstadt zusammenzuführen. Liebgewonnenes Ritual sind seine musikalischen Auftritte, mit denen der Singer-Songwriter jede Demo eröffnet.
Neben dem scharfzüngigen Kolumnisten Elmar Gehrke, dem Anwalt Frank Hennig und Peter Weber von der GEZ-kritischen Initiative Hallo Meinung hatte sich am Montag mit Uwe Steimle auch ein echter Promi angekündigt.
Seine Sendung Steimles Welt war bis zu ihrer Absetzung aus politischen Gründen die beliebteste im MDR. Steimle hatte sich beispielsweise dafür stark gemacht, mit Anhängern von Pegida und AfD im Gespräch zu bleiben.

The Basra Compact, a flagship partnership to revive the economy in southern Iraq
Basra, 05 May 2015 – The authorities of Basra and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) today signed a flagship agreement, the Basra Compact, aiming at strengthening participatory and accountable governance and reviving the economic activity in the southern governorate, which is not just oil-rich but needs to invest in its human capacity and private sector development. Protecting the cultural and ecological heritage of the Mesopotamian Marshlands is also a priority.
Despite being the richest governorate and hosting the main port in Iraq, Umm Qasr—the only shipping hub in the country—Basra is one of the most affected by poverty and chronic unemployment with 16.1% of the population living below the poverty line of US$ 2.5 per day and facing staggering challenges in terms of access to services.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Basra authorities outlines future cooperation in the areas of decentralization, financial management and budget execution, environment protection, private sector development including micro, small and medium enterprises, and supporting the governorate’s 5-year strategic planning.
“Working with local partners is a fundamental element of national ownership,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and UNDP Resident Representative, Lise Grande, said. “This translates into UNDP’s support for the local network of the Global Compact promoting responsible business practices in the areas of gender, human rights, labour standards, environment, service delivery and anti-corruption,” she explained.
UNDP has nearly 40 years of experience in Iraq leading the UN’s development work, providing knowledge and practical expertise. In its long-term engagement with the government and the people of Iraq, UNDP focuses on inclusive participation, accountability, access to justice, women’s empowerment, security sector reform, decentralization and private sector development. In particular, UNDP supports the government’s 4-year development plans (2014-2017).

The Rice Value Chain Compact of the African Development Bank (AfDB)-funded “Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT)” initiative was officially launched, 6-7 September 2018, at the AfricaRice Research Station in M’bé near Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire. The TAAT Rice Value Chain Compact will contribute to the AfDB ‘Feed Africa’ initiative through enhanced deployment of impactful technologies, innovations and products in the rice value chain.
Partners along the rice value chain from 10 African countries attended the project launch to discuss the implementation plan at country level, the technologies that will be deployed and the approaches and strategies for scaling up the technologies. Implementation will start in Benin, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Madagascar, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Uganda, with spill-over in Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea in the first year.
As part of the program, the participants had a guided tour of AfricaRice demonstration plots, seed multiplication, the postharvest and processing facility and the Genetic Resources Unit. The visit allowed them to see some of the technologies that have been selected for scaling up through the TAAT Rice Compact.
