In India, roads have come to occupy a dominant position in the transportation system of the country. Rural roads infrastructure is critical to socio-economic development. The total road network in India today stands at 3.4 million km of which 2.8 million km comprises low volume rural roads. This includes roads constructed and upgraded under the Government of India’s flagship Prime Minister’s Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) programme. Rural roads comprise over 80 per cent of the road network and their being kept in serviceable condition is crucial to the agricultural growth and livelihood of millions in rural areas including all weather connectivity to social facilities such as schools, health and market centres.

Development Impact and the PhD Scholarship - Tool Kit training held at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor from 30 July - 1 August 2014
Notices from Cosmur, Haringey Council's contractors, on the damaged cladding of Haringey Law Centre.
Improvement to the small Holcombe Road Market was among the "12 in 2012" pledges made by Haringey Council Leadership.
To be fair, hardly any of the twelve "pledges" had much real substance. Some were taking credit for other organisations' projects. Some were vague upbeat PR fluff.
However the idea of improving and possibly extending the tiny market - two small stalls - had been around for some years. And at least to residents like me, seemed a good idea.
So it was disappointing when the timescale kept slipping. Disappointment felt not least by the two long established family businesses. Represented by Bob Thompson the fishmonger and Dave and Andy Hall the greengrocers.
In November 2016 the revamped market was finally open.
Will any lessons be learned by the so-called leaders of Haringey Council? In my personal view that's not entirely impossible. But neither is it likely. There's little evidence of any real learning culture.
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.

Spectators on the railway side of Triangle Cricket Club's Grassy Bottom ground. The ladder facilitates retrieval when the ball is hit into trees clinging to an embankment of the former Rishworth branch line. Captured during a 17-run Halifax League defeat by Premier Division rivals Warley in a third-versus-second clash.
Warley, put in on a moist, unpredictable wicket, found runs hard to come by initially, and were only 52-4 at drinks. But century-maker Faheem Khatana and Luke Duckitt, caught off the final delivery, added 128 for the seventh wicket, enabling the visitors to post a competitive total. Openers Nathan Madden and Adam Stocks gave Triangle a solid start as the wicket dried but the hosts failed to build on those solid foundations, collapsing from 70-1 to 181-7. A late flurry from Chris Metcalf and Tom Kenworthy could not prevent defeat.
Match statistics:
Admission: free. Programme: none. Attendance: 71. Triangle won the toss and elected to field. Warley 231-7 off 45 overs (Faheem Khatana 103 not out, Luke Duckitt 48, Matty Whitworth 33, Kurtis Whippey 4-84) 11pts beat by 17 runs Triangle 214-9 off 45 overs (Nathan Madden 70, Adam Stocks 30, Chris Metcalf 23, Tom Kenworthy 21 not out, Cameron van Rensberg 4-56, Greg Keywood 3-77) 5pts. Player tea, £3.50; spectator tea, £2.50.

Dil Bahadur says: I would like to make the new house as soon as possible and we are working on the layout now. The house is completely different than the old house. It is earthquake resistant. Medair and CDS are helping me tremendously. With technical assistance, social mobilisation, and forming of clusters, transport. I would have made the house in the old style if Medair would not have been here and that would have been bad. I feel more secure now.
Background info: .On 25 April 2015, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal followed by another severe 7.3 magnitude earthquake on 12 May. In the following weeks, persistent and at times significant aftershocks and landslides continued to destroy buildings, infrastructure, and livelihoods, affecting millions of people
According to the Post Disaster Needs Analysis (PDNA) 8,790 people died, 498,852 private houses were fully destroyed and 256,697 private houses were partially damaged throughout 31 districts of which 14 districts have been identified as mostly impacted including Ramechhap district. Ramechhap is one of the most earthquake affected rural districts with 91% of the houses destroyed challenged by its geographic location and underserved by other partner organizations.
Since the beginning of 2016 Medair started the reconstruction project. This project will seek to improve the resilience and safe shelter conditions among earthquake affected households in Bijulikot Village Development Committee (VDC) in Ramechhap district. To accomplish this, Medair will provide technical and financial support for the reconstruction of 310 private houses in wards three and six of Bijulikot that have been destroyed by the Earthquakes in 2015. Additional assistance will be provided to repair and reconstruct household latrine facilities for those households to ensure improved access to sanitation. Reconstruction will take place through an owner driven approach to build back better with support of NGO partner Community Development Society. The technical and financial assistance to homeowners will be complemented through community level PASSA training, mason training, community mobilisation, and hygiene promotion. These activities will take place in all nine wards of Bijulikot Village Development Committee in Ramechhap District. Medair will coordinate this whole project through close partnership with the National Reconstruction Authority, the Chief District Officer, the local communities and local NGO partner Community Development Society.

The Port of Olympia is hoping to develop a large piece of property on the eastern edge of the Port Peninsula. It would house a new Children’s Museum, a new administrative building and education center for the LOTT Wastewater Treatment Facility, and possibly a hotel and office buildings. But the peninsula lies at a low elevation, and the city predicts it will be the area most affected by sea level rise. Some environmentalists question whether large-scale new development on the peninsula is prudent. Courtesy LOTT Alliance.

Korolev's Suborbital Plans Thwarted
Chief Designer Sergei Korolev's OKB-1 design bureau studied manned suborbital spacecraft starting in the late 1940s. In 1955, Korolev told students of the Bauman Higher Technical School that OKB-1 had five different plans for manned suborbital flight. The next year, three medical specialists volunteered for suborbital missions. Soviet military leaders insisted that work on missiles should take priority, Korolev had to abandon the project. Studies continued, however, and expanded to include manned orbital flight.
At about the same time, Korolev began work on unmanned satellites, including a military spy satellite with a cone-shaped reentry capsule. Cameras in the capsule would photograph objects on the ground (for example U.S. missile silos), then the capsule would drop out of orbit to return their exposed film to the Soviet Union.
East and Zenith
In May 1958, Korolev abandoned all plans for manned suborbital flights in favor of orbital flights in a space craft based on OKB-1's spy satellite design. In June, he decided that the manned capsule should be spherical and changed the spy satellite design to match. His engineers named the manned spacecraft Vostok ("East"). Vostok and the spy satellite would be two parts of one program, with Vostok taking priority.
This angered Soviet military men, who wanted Korolev to abandon his spaceflight dreams and build military space systems. Following the tremendous propaganda victories of the Sputniks, however, Korolev enjoyed Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev's support. In November 1958, the Council of Chief Designers gave Korolev the official go-ahead to favor Vostok over the spy satellite.
Korolev Slips From Favor
OKB-1 began building the first Vostok in December 1958, but Korolev did not receive permission to actually launch any Vostoks until May 22, 1959. The genius behind the Sputniks had begun to slowly fall from Khruschev's favor. The Kremlin combined authorization to launch Vostoks with orders to assign spy satellite development equal priority. The spy satellite version of Vostok was named Zenit ("Zenith"). In place of life support systems and an ejection seat, Zenit carried powerful telescopic cameras.
Korolev, however, stubbornly insisted on giving priority to his dreams. He launched a simplified Vostok spacecraft into orbit on May 15, 1960- the first time in history a prototype manned spacecraft reached space. The West called it Sputnik 4, but Korolev named it Korabl-Sputnik (Spaceship-Satellite) 1. He did not get around to launching a Zenit until December 1961, eight months after Gagarin's historic single orbit on Vostok 1 and four months after Titov's day-long Vostok 2 mission. The first Zenit failed to reach orbit.
Why the Secrecy?
The Soviet Union's first manned spacecraft, Vostok, used almost the same design as Zenit, its first spy satellite. Since it involved national security, the Zenit design was considered a state secret. Because of this, the manned Vostok design had to be kept hidden, too. Zenit-2
The Soviets and their successors, the Russians, have launched and recovered hundreds of Zenit spy satellites under the cover name Cosmos. The actual Vostok-type spacecraft capsule displayed here is in fact a Zenit spy satellite that flew into orbit in the 1980s. The Russians now offer these once-secret spaceships for sale to collectors and around the world.
