Inveneo is proud to be an implementing partner with Creative Associates in the Tanzania 21st Century Basic Education Program (Tz21) where our role is to lead the technology intervention design and deployment with Kicheko Ltd, our Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) in Tanzania. Together, Inveneo and Kicheko have been instrumental in introducing sustainable technology solutions that are relevant to rural Tanzanian schools that often lack electrical power and ICT skilled staff.
Recently we passed a major milestone in the program - the deployment of information and communication technologies to 5 pilot schools.
Dr. H.E. Kavishe of Kicheko, Wayan Vota and Jen Overgaag of Inveneo, assisted by a cadre of Kicheko technicians, installed a mix of laptops, desktops, LED projectors and related networking and power equipment at Naliendele, Kambarage, Darajani, and Kisiwandui Primary Schools, and Machakaeni Teacher Center.
The pilot deployment is testing technology configurations and the installation was used to train local engineers on Inveneo installation methodologies in preparation for the major ICT deployment to all schools, scheduled for early 2012.

Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.
Met two wonderful guys who were from Blackpool who posed for me seperately and as a couple at Blackpool Pride 2010. This is Douglas, Martin was posted earlier. They can be see here here. They reminded me of a painting called "we two boys clinging together" by David Hockney.

Nothing particularly pretty about these shots. There are rhizomes here so tangled I can't get a tool in edgewise, and so densely layered I can't cut through them either. Pick axes are liable to bounce off any piece of the cluster, so my method for ultimate destruction involves undermining the clumps. Rhizomes have roots, and the remnant of what looks like a timber type of bamboo here have root balls that sink like a mass of tentacles deep into the clay soil. When I push portions over I hear ripping sounds.
30 May 2001: Step 2 - we have not got our building license yet, but encouraged by assurances that it is "any day now", we called in Spiros Mavrias and the JCB to dig a hole in the sand for foundations.

This snake was digging through the soft earth with its head apparently trying to hunt down something it had scented.
The long arm of the excavator digs up to 35-feet deep to help contain the underground fire. Once the barrier wall is solid, excavation of the burning material will continue to be excavated and mixed with a clay-sand slurry to extinguish the fire.
Aaron Bird digging on a hole where part of an unnamed run sinks just downstream of the Water Entrance of Windy Slope Cave, Preston County, WV. We made the lead into a big hole then dammed the run to fill it full of water to see if the lead would flush a little. We'll return later and see how things worked out. Druid Camp 2009.

In a recent press conference the archaeologists spoke about the first excavations in front of the cathedral. They found parts of the 14th century city wall; bone fragments of the cemetery that was closed in 1808; artifacts of Roman Tortosa, called Dertosa. The excavations will continue in 2016.

In einer Pressekonferenz gaben die Archäologen den ersten Bericht ab über die Ausgrabungen vor der Kathedrale. Es wurden Reste der Stadtmauer aus dem 14th Jh gefunden; Knochen vom alten Friedhof (1808) und Funde aus dem römoschen Tortosa, Dertosa genannt.
Die Ausgrabungen werden im 2016 weitergeführt.

Several years ago we purchased a wonderful piece of land in the untouched hills above the city where I was born. Summer days are sooooo hot here and the sun is strong so this year during our visit to Montenegro we decided to try to find water and build a well.
I was surprised to learn that my high school math teacher is also a well-known and successful “water-finder” in the area. He uses the principles of radiesthesia. First he surveyed the lot with the brass dowsing pendulum and then he used two L-shaped brass wire rods. He managed to locate about 7 “water spots" and then marked the strongest one for us to start digging. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diviningmind.com/stor...
At that particular spot he estimated that there are 4 water runs that are meeting at depth of 7-7.5m underground. So we started digging.

On 7th January 17 people started digging on the site next to Carter's House at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. They are involved in the important task of preserving the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. An exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun will open to visitors next spring.
The project has been funded by Factum Foundation.
