Muscular Development article about me from August, 1985. I was approached by the magazine after my appearance in the 1983 amateur Mr. World contest, where I won people's choice, first place and judge's choice, fifth place. The photos for the article were shot at the old City Gym owned by Diego in DTLA, now the present location of Staples Center. Diego hung photos of me on the walls of the City Gym as well.

I like the simplicity of these cranes, located in Tredigr docks in Cardiff Bay. Not sure what they were being used to build as access was blocked, but there does seem to be alot of development work going on there.
2022 Feb8th Layari Basti, Karachi Solar Lanterns DistributionLyari Basti, Karachi Solar Lanterns Distribution Feb 8th, 2022
Project Title: Distribution of Solar Lanterns for Kachi Abadi Liyari ExpressWay ,Near 13-D , Gulshan e Iqbal , Karachi .
Date Completed: Feb/ 08/2022
Donor: Lodhie Foundation
Implementing Partner: Ms Samiya Khan.
Project Manager/Coordinator: Abdul Samad
Project Locations
The Lodhie Foundation initiative brings a āFirst Ray of Lightā to the rural and poor communities and backward areas of Pakistan. Since 2003, this philanthropic initiative has continued to achieve his goal to bring the poorest people of Pakistan opportunities for socio-economic development. The program has been building momentum and successful results since its beginning. The key element is the distribution and maintenance of solar LED lighting systems through the guidance and management of Pervaiz Lodhie Founder Trustee of Lodhie Foundation located in Karachi, Pakistan
Ever since introducing a noble cause of distribution of SOLAR LANTERN ( ROSHNI ) to the needy and poor villagers and families of rural areas in Pakistan under the Donation of Ms Samiya Khan, a team Lodhie Foundation was assigned to visit the Kachi Abadi Liyari Express Way Karachi to observe and witness the distribution of Solar Lantern ROSHNI to the most needy people of Kachi Abadi Liyari Express Way ,near 13-D Gulshan e Iqbal , Karachi,
As a gesture of goodwill Ms Samiya Khan Donor of Lodhie Foundation offered a gift of 100 solar powered LED lights to the people of Kachi abadi Liyari Express Way, Karachi
Benefits
ā¢Freedom from Darkness ā The sunlight fades as early as 6 p.m, leaving the villagers in complete darkness. With solar lantern lighting, they have about an additional five hours of light to add to each day.
ā¢Freedom from Illiteracy ā More hours of light means more hours for children to study and get a better education, which is crucial to improving their social-economic future.
ā¢Freedom from Poverty ā With solar LED lanterns, the villagers no longer have to pay for expensive kerosene lanterns. Also, with more hours of light, the men and women have additional hours to work, which means more income for each household.
ā¢Freedom from Hunger ā More income means more money to better feed each member of the family; a daily concern for villagers.
ā¢Freedom from Disease ā Kerosene lanterns give off toxic and dangerous fumes; solar LED lanterns do not. LED lanterns also provide extra visibility, which helps against nighttime hazards.

Since 2010, a basic package of medicines and items have been provided for free under Sierra Leoneās Free Health Care Initiative, such as essential drugs and mosquito nets (pictured here being unloaded at a PHU).
But PHU staff reportedly sometimes still charge for these services. While traditional healers also ask for payment in exchange for their services, the terms are more flexible: Payments can be in-kind and made over time.

A stunningly beautiful but cold day today.. went out and got groceries on a Friday which i love doing.. no crowds in the store! For the first time I noticed this new housing development behind the Loblaws on Sherbrooke street.. lots of new growth in the city lately which is a good sign. It would seem Montreal, being on an island keepsa lot of its citizens within its boundaries instead of pushing them out to the suburbs like a lot of other North American cities do
Bribie Island development

Negative number: C2-5035
"Bribie Island is the smallest and most northerly of three major sand islands forming the coastline sheltering the northern part of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The others are Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island. Bribie Island is 34 kilometres (21 miles) long, and 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) at its widest. Archibald Meston believed that the name of the island came from a corruption of a mainland word for it, Boorabee. meaning 'koala bear'.
Bribie Island hugs the coastline and tapers to a long spit at its most northern point near Caloundra, and is separated from the mainland by Pumicestone Passage. The ocean side of the island is somewhat sheltered from prevailing winds by Moreton Island and associated sand banks and has only a small surf break. The lee side is calm, with white sandy beaches in the south.
Most of the island is uninhabited national park (55.8 square kilometres or 21.5 square miles) and forestry plantations. The southern end of the island has been intensively urbanised as part of the Moreton Bay Region, the main suburbs being Bongaree, Woorim, Bellara and Banksia Beach. A bridge from Sandstone Point on the mainland was completed in 1963.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, is an important bird habitat and refuge.
There are many types of wildlife present on the island. Kangaroos, wallabies, emus, various snake species, green tree frogs and dingos can often be seen venturing from the national park into the surrounding suburbs.
Pumicestone Passage, located between the island and the mainland, is a protected marine park that provides habitat for dugongs, turtles and dolphins. There are also extensive mangrove forests in this area. Eucalypt forests, banksias and heathlands are the predominant vegetation elsewhere.
Bribie Island is home to around 350 species of bird. This includes a range of honeyeater species, lorikeets, waterbirds and birds of prey. Flying foxes (also called fruit bats) visit the area, along with several species of small insect-eating bats. Flying foxes are important pollinators and seed dispersers while the insect-eating bats help control mosquito and other insect populations.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, was declared an environmental park in 1992.
The island seems particularly prone to instances of bee swarming.ā

Justine Greening, UK Development Secretary, (centre) addresses the focus event on education at the Supporting Syria and the Region conference.
BACKGROUND
The Supporting Syria and the Region conference took place in London on 4 February 2016.
It brought together world leaders in a bid to raise the money needed to help the millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by the devastating civil war in Syria.
Syria is the world's biggest humanitarian crisis. Billions of dollars in international aid are needed to support people caught up in the conflict.
The UK, Germany, Kuwait, Norway, and the United Nations co-hosted the conference to raise significant new funding to meet the immediate and longer-term needs of those affected.
The conference also set ambitious goals on education and economic opportunities to transform the lives of refugees caught up in the Syrian crisis - and to support the countries hosting them.
This event alone cannot solve all these problems. Ultimately a political solution is necessary to bring the Syrian conflict to an end.

In the background, you can see the original Northwestern Bell tower. It is now crammed with telephone and internet transmission equipment. The tan tower to the right is the Northwestern Bell office building. It has been empty forever as Nortwestern Bell moved to a newer office building downtown. It became Qwest Communications after the Bell Telephone court ordered breakup. Qwest died of bad management and I think some of them went to jail too. Now it is CenturyLink Communications.
Anyway...just as The Highline a few blocks up the street was set to open, NuStyle announced they had purchased this building, which is also on the National Register of Historic Places. Gotta save those examples of mid century bad architecture, with no thought for human usage or enjoyment!
Set to become 290 apartments.
Development art for the Thai film "Khan Kluay". The art team and I worked together for a year just getting the look of the film down. Basing images on the script that co-director Aaron Sorensen, and writer Ariel Prendergast , and I were putting together.
There were some amazing artists at Kantana, including my pal, production designer, Prachanue "The Nue" Noree, who helped lead the art team.
Khan Kluay is different from a lot of my other work in that it was designed for the "Wide Screen" cinema, trying to get the feeling of a "Thai Epic". But still following the same simple "Shape Principles" of design. Designing for wide screen is fun, but challenging. At the time we were trying to make the compositions work for both the movie theaters, and the cut-off on people tv's at home.
