GDF will feature keynote addresses by The Honorable Ander Crenshaw, U.S. Representative, R-FL; and Dr. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Managing Director of the World Bank Group. Breakout panel discussions will foster dialogue on topics including private sector partnerships, capacity building and workforce development, innovative finance, the post-2015 global development agenda, Ebola recovery in West Africa, and the strategic role of development in overall U.S. foreign policy. GDF will feature over 40 speakers, including key stakeholders from U.S. government agencies, leading multilateral and non-governmental organizations, foreign governments, and the private sector.
With a significant reduction in extreme poverty and an increase in private financial flows to the developing world over the past two decades, the face of development is rapidly changing. Meeting today’s challenges calls for innovation and effective partnerships across sectors, with an emphasis on improving governance and leveraging the role of the private sector.
The 2015 Global Development Forum will be held on Thursday, April 23, from 8:00AM – 3:45PM at the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ headquarters.

A concept drawing of the site of The ExtraCare Charitable Trust's proposed new Coventry development in the Earlsdon Park area of the city.
Traverse City, Michigan used to be the home for the state mental hospital known as the Traverse City State Hospital. The facility was closed in 1989 and is now undergoing redevelopment as a recreation, retail and housing development known as Traverse City Commons. One of the building has been redone and it's quite interesting to walk through the lower level with business set up in little rooms which look in a way like former cells. The building above has not yet been renovated and still exhibits a certain Victorian creepiness. My processing of the shot was meant to convey that feeling as well. (The image looks a little too crunchy at smaller sizes)

Susan singing in the women's prison choir.
"My name is Susan Kigula from Victoria women`s prison, in Uganda. My imprisonment has been a blessing in disguise because that’s where I studied and sat for my A level examinations and now I am studying for Diploma in Common Law with the University of London. I would like to extend my endless thanks to APP without which I wouldn’t have accessed the University of London Law Programme. On this International Women`s Day, I wish to appeal to all women organizations around the world to support women in prison especially those who still have plans to continue with their education like APP is doing."

'Shoreline Development' This series of photos is of the first part of the development to be nearing completion. Ultimately the complex will occupy the foreshore from here to Folkestone Harbour with similar blocks of apartments. They may be described as luxury - the website indicates that a 1 bedroom apartment will be on sale at nearly half a million £s. This does include parking space in the basement. Current locals have a Marmite attitude to the development.

Christopher Peterson, both with the 89th Sustainment Brigade, work on a VSAT during Combat Support Training Exercise 86-16-03 at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, in August 2016. The VSAT illustrates an unusual feature of SATCOM acquisition: Because satellite technology is constantly evolving and industry is continuously investigating new applications, few of the products and programs under Stein’s purview leave the developmental phase. While sustaining the current equipment, the VSAT team is already working on the requirements for the next tactical satellite terminal. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. John Russell, 86th Training Division)

Construction of the natural surface trail is well underway as Wildwood Park development continues on Thursday, April 8.
These remaining Concrete Plinths with their Holdfasts once supported the 350ft Transmitter Towers used on the Experimental Chain Home Radar Station.
During World War One the grounds and stables of Bawdsey Manor were requisitioned by the Devonshire Regiment and having been returned to the Quilter family after the War the Bawdsey Manor Estate was selected as the site for a new Research Station for the development of 'Radio Direction Finding' in 1935. The Treasury allocating one million pounds for the continuation of the research started at Orfordness. The Manor, estate buildings and 168 acres of land were sold to the Air Ministry in 1936 and Robert Watson Watt was appointed as Superintendent. In January 1937 the RAF’s Radio Direction Finding (RDF) Training School was established there and the first Chain Home Radar Station was developed on the site, coming on line in May 1937. In August a filter room was established to process data from two other recently opened Chain Home Stations, the tracking information obtained being used for the deployment of Fighter Aircraft. The Station was fully operational by the 24th of September 1937 providing long range early warning for the southern North Sea and the Channel approaches, as well as Radar coverage for Coastal Convoys. As well as research for the Air Ministry, a War Department (Army) Team was working on the development of Gun-Laying Radar that would enable Anti-Aircraft Guns to fire accurately with poor visibility. By 1939 acceptable Gun-Ranging Equipment was in service with an accuracy of 25 yards at a range of 10 miles.
Another important area of research was the development of an Identification, Friend or Foe (IFF) System allowing friendly Aircraft to be differentiated from hostile planes. As a result of this research, Aircraft were fitted with aerials incorporating motor-driven tuners that caused the reflected signal received by Ground Radar Stations to vary in amplitude. Later models employed an electronic unit that detected the presence of 'Friendly Radar' and then transmitted a coded signal causing the Ground Radar display to indicate a Friendly Aircraft. By Easter 1939 15 Chain Home Stations were available for use around the coast and Chain Home went into a 24 hour Watch System. On the outbreak of World War Two the Research Station staff were relocated to dispersed locations around the country. Bawdsey continued in the forefront of the expansion of the Radar Network with an AMES Type 2 Chain Home Low on a 200ft platform on the southern (No.4 of 4) Transmitter Tower. (Each Tower was 350ft high) This was able to detect Low Flying Aircraft and Coastal Shipping but not Small Vessels or Low Flying Aircraft just above sea level.
Towards the end of 1941 Coastal Defence Radar (Army CD Mk IV) was established at Bawdsey, this installation was taken over by the RAF on the 7th of December 1942 making RAF Bawdsey the only site in the UK with three types of Radar (CH, CHL and CD) in operation. By August 1943 Coastal Defence was changed to an AMES Type 55 Chain Home Extra Low (CHEL) again this was mounted on a 200ft platform on the northern (No.1) Transmitter Tower. In September 1944 RAF Bawdsey began monitoring the launch of V2 Rockets using specially developed Chain Home Receivers codenamed ‘Oswald’. Although there was no defence against the V2 Rocket once it had been launched Oswald was able to provide Bomber Command with the location of the Launch Sites which could then be attacked. Other CH Stations equipped with Oswald were RAF Stoke Holy Cross, RAF High Street, RAF Great Bromley, RAF Dunkirk & RAF Swingate. The run-down of Radar Stations started before the end of the War from a peak of 194 Stations in 1944 with only 36 remaining by 1947 and only 29 of those were manned at full readiness. RAF Bawdsey is listed as being operational with both CH and CHEL in 1948.
In 1950 the Station was chosen to participate in the ROTOR Programme which involved the construction of a new Underground Operations Room on a new 21 acre site on the north side of the Bawdsey Manor Estate, this was planned to be operational by January 1952 as part of the ROTOR Plan Stage 1. Towards the end of 1953, the Chain Home Equipment was taken out of service and placed in a state of ‘Care and Maintenance’ and the Chain Home Low array was removed from the southern Transmitter Tower.
For the later history of Bawdsey Manor as fighter control school see RAF Bawdsey GCI Rotor Radar Station. Today Bawdsey Manor is occupied by Alexanders International School, a residential language school. Many of the RAF Buildings have now been demolished but the Transmitter and Receiver Block, two buried reserves and a number of other buildings from all the major phases of the site still survive.
During World War Two RAF Bawdsey was identified as a potential target and in September 1939 was protected by three 40mm Bofors Guns and two .303 Lewis Anti-Aircraft Guns. With an increased fear of a German invasion, these Defences were supplement in 1940 by Slit Trenches, Sandbag Gun Emplacements, a concrete Gun Post and at least ten Type-24 Pillboxes, nine of these are still extant. There were several attacks on the Station during 1940 which did little damage with no casualties and on the 18th of October 1940 Anti-Aircraft Gunners shot down a German bomber. Sporadic attacks continued over the following three years with some loss of life, the last Bombing Raid near Bawdsey was on the 30th of June 1944. A V1 Rocket crashed on the beach on the 21st of September 1944 and a V2 Rocket detonated over the sea on the 9th of October.
