Since the 1990s, a more active and open civil society sector has developed across the Russian Federation. While civil society institutions and civic engagement in Russia are not new, the growth of the sector in recent years created hopes that Russian civil society could become the voice for a more effective democratic system, more efficient social services, and a check against corruption and centralized power. At the same time, the increasing interconnectivity between Russian and international civil society institutions created a sense of optimism that an interconnected “Euro-Atlantic civil society” could make positive contributions to difficult geo-political challenges.
Of late, however, these hopes have largely been put on hold. Russian civil society institutions are facing a variety of political and social pressures, and are becoming less connected to international partners. Geo-political relations between Russia and the Euro-Atlantic community have worsened, and international civil society groups and donors have become the object of suspicion as instruments of external interference. At a political level, prior optimism about a “re-set” in Russia-Euro-Atlantic relations has faltered, however, with implications for support for civil society institutions.
There is an urgent need to rebuild bridges and to reestablish a serious dialogue about the role of Russian civil society and relations between diverse civic actors domestically, as well as between Russian organizations and international partners. In cooperation with, and with the generous support of, the Yeltsin Presidential Center and Yeltsin Foundation, this Symposium will address the challenges and opportunities currently facing civil society in Russia as a means to understand the needs and perspective of Russian civil society groups and to consider new approaches to international civil society engagement with Russia.

He is reading the Autobiography of Richard Wright, author of Native Son, among others.
Yes, he is *actually* reading it, though he only read about 3 pages.
I gave him a verbal quiz afterward and he answered every question right!
He is currently reading the Chronicles of Narnia.
Developing the Guatemalan theme, onto a casual mens top, made to be worn under one of the coats. The silk screen print design is a modern adaptation I have developed from the traditional geometric motifs that are used in the woven fabrics of Guatemala.
I developed this film using QWD ECN-2 chemistry. It's a long story about a gift of 4 Silbersalz rolls that should have included developing and scanning back in Stuttgart. Instead, the film took a round trip from New York to Frankfurt, getting stuck in German customs for months with indifferent support from Silbersalz. So upon their return to me, I developed and scanned them myself. QWD makes a great product for home development of Vision3.
The YF-12 was developed in the 1960s as a high-altitude, Mach 3 interceptor to defend against supersonic bombers. Based on the A-12 reconnaissance aircraft, the YF-12A became the forerunner of the highly-sophisticated SR-71 strategic reconnaissance aircraft.
The first of three YF-12s flew in August 1963. In May 1965, the first and third YF-12s set several records, including a speed record of 2,070.101 mph and an altitude record of 80,257.65 feet. For their speed record flight, Col. Robert L. "Fox" Stephens (pilot) and Lt. Col. Daniel Andre (fire control officer) received the 1965 Thompson Trophy.
Though the aircraft performed well, the F-12 interceptor program ended in early 1968. High costs, the ongoing war in Southeast Asia, and a lower priority on air defense of the US all contributed to the cancellation.
The aircraft on display -- the second one built -- was recalled from storage in 1969 for a joint USAF/NASA investigation of supersonic cruise technology. It was flown to the museum in 1979, and it is the only remaining YF-12A in existence (the first YF-12A was damaged beyond repair after a landing mishap, and the third YF-12A was destroyed after the crew ejected to escape an inflight fire).

Developed from the earlier (1965-69) 2000CS, the 3.0 CS was fitted with a 2985cc straight-six engine from the big BMW saloon car range. The 180bhp on tap gave over 130mph and many came with an auto gearbox. The CSi version, with fuel injection, developed 200bhp.

Pacific Women aims to develop and deliver evidence-based activities that contribute to the advancement of gender equality in the region. To do this strategically, Pacific Women undertakes targeted activities that help to define the direction of the program, called ‘direction-setting activities’. These include planning, evaluation and research activities that inform program activities supported by Pacific Women.
Direction-setting activities include Country Plan review activities. Country Plans are the mechanism through which Pacific Women activities are planned and agreed between DFAT and counterpart governments. Country Plans are developed to cover a three to four-year period and are informed by extensive national consultations. They provide detail on activities to be funded and how funding decisions are made. Country Plan Summaries can be downloaded from the Pacific Women website.
Teams from the Support Unit and Australian High Commission Posts engage with Pacific governments and stakeholders to review these plans. Country Plan reviews measure progress towards Pacific Women’s outcomes and identify barriers to implementing activities and changes in country context. The reviews include recommendations for future directions.
In February 2018, country plan review activities took place in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).

POLICY SEMINAR
Food Markets and Nutrition in the Developing World: Results from ARENA II
MAR 18, 2019 - 12:15 PM TO 01:45 PM EDT
Will Martin, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI
Markets play a key role in delivering food and nutrition, even for poor and remote rural households. But nutrient-rich foods, especially animal-sourced foods, are very expensive in poor countries, suggesting that markets for perishable but nutritious foods are not functioning well. Both scientific research and real-world programs have largely focused on farm-level interventions to diversify household production and consumption, not recognizing the important role of market purchases.
This policy seminar will present innovative new research on food markets and nutrition from the ARENA-II (Advancing Research on Nutrition and Agriculture) project—including cross-country studies of the costs of nutritious foods and nutritious diets as a whole, and case studies of fish, dairy, and poultry products.

Kodak T-Max developed in Diafine (and by the looks of things badly scratched in the process!). PP to boost contrast and add a colour tint in Lightroom.
I like the retro feel of the grain of the T-Max...boosted by the scratches. The developed negs were really lacking in contrast - probably a result of too much time in the developer. But once scanned and got into Lightroom its easy enough to rescue with a generous helping of the contrast slider :-)
