Emergency response in Mozambique after Cyclone Idai.
Cyclone Idai made landfall on Thursday, March 14 with sustained winds of over 110 mph. Stated the deadliest weather disaster of the year so far, homes and cities in the southeastern African country of Mozambique are flooded due to deadly storms brought by Tropical Cyclone Idai. Even before making landfall, flooding caused by the cyclone's weather system killed 122 people.
Cyclone Idai touched down in Mozambique, causing devastation across the country, and continuing through neighboring Malawi and Zimbabwe. Now, families throughout all three countries are displaced and in need of food, water and shelter. CRS and Caritas are providing support to affected families.
The Togolese Red Cross yesterday (4 September 2017) carried out its second humanitarian distribution in two weeks under forecast-based financing (FbF), as heavy monsoon rain threatened more villages on the Mono river downstream from the Nangbeto dam. TRC volunteers and staff – including the society’s president – distributed emergency-shelter items for just over 100 households from the village of Togbavi, in Lacs prefecture, in coastal Maritime region. The families had been driven out of their homes by rising water-levels and set up camp on elevated highways. The TRC was also engaged in preparing evacuation sites, and it delivered two canoes – one for Togbavi and one for Azimé Dosou village – to facilitate possible evacuations. The latest distribution included, for each household, a tarpaulin and a mosquito net, two sleeping mats, as well as buckets and soap. It was the latest stage in an FbF sequence that was triggered two weeks ago by alerts from dam operators and the hydrological ‘FUNES’ prediction system, which the Togolese and German Red Cross has been helping to refine. The distribution was planned with Togo’s National Agency for Civil Protection, and the TRC president M. Gagno Norbert Paniah and local officials took part. “On behalf of the community we thank the Togolese and German Red Cross for this assistance, most of all for the canoe, which will help us to cross the waters and evacuate the people safely,” said Togbavi Chief Gbedassi. In collaboration with dam operators, the Togolese and German Red Cross team were closely monitoring discharge rates and water-levels at the dam for weeks. In a daily conference call, the Red Cross get data on the actual volume in the lake above the dam, water flowing inwards, and planned discharges. Staff then monitor water levels in nearly 20 high-risk villages and a further 11 in a second category of risk. In late August 2017, in its first FbF operation of the rainy season, the TRC distributed Aquatabs and waterproof protection for household documents to just under 2,000 at-risk households in the first group.

Status: ?
The difference between adult and juvenile is the gap on its beak. Adult has a clear gap when upper & lower beak are shut, while the gap on the beak of juvenile is absent.
Diet: Golden Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata) is listed among 100 worst invasive species in the world (Lowe et al. 2000), which cause major problems at the paddy fields. Hence the presence of Asian Openbills in paddy fields are welcome by farmers.
The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork (Anastomus oscitans) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It is greyish or white with glossy black wings and tail and the adults have a gap between the arched upper mandible and recurved lower mandible. Young birds are born without this gap which is thought to be an adaptation that aids in the handling of snails, their main prey. Although resident within their range, they make long distance movements in response to weather and food availability.

Spa gardens Oberlaa
The spa gardens Oberlaa is a park in the 10th district of Vienna Favoriten, on the southeast slope of the Laa mountain at Oberlaa. Its area is 860,000 square meters.
Horticulture monuments, path systems and artificial soil formations are listed buildings.
History
WIG 74 in the year of the opening
Monorail 1974
After the great success with the "Vienna International Garden Show 1964" (WIG 64) in the Danube Park in the 22nd district of Vienna (Danube City), the Vienna city council wanted another carrying out of an international horticultural show in Vienna. The former brick area on the southeastern slope of Laa Hill, which had also served as the location of monumental films of the silent era, was rounded off by buying gardening grounds and vineyards. It proved to be an ideal location for the project and the associated construction of a large green area. Already since 1969 there is a spa operation at the Oberlaa sulfur springs. After a competition that was tendered internationally and the Frankfurt landscape architect Erich Hanke 1969 could win, were formed working groups of landscape architects from different states. When planning and implementing the best designs of all projects were combined.
The "Vienna International Garden Show 1974" (WIG 74) became with 2.6 million visitors like its predecessor in the Danube Park a great success with the public. The press coverage but was partially extremely critical. A circulating in the park monorail proved to be a bad investment and had to be dismantled after a few years, an adjacent to it amusement park was from the beginning on loss-making. The rest of the park furniture proved, as in the case of the Danube Park, to have only a limited durability. In late 1974, the area of the garden show was eventually converted into a public park which receives wide acclaim. Other international horticultural shows, however, were not organized in Vienna, and the trend of the following years went rather away from the maintenance (and cost) intense show green toward the nature-oriented design, such as in the zone of recreational area Wienerberg.
Topics
Plan of the spa park
The spa gardens Oberlaa is divided into various subject areas to offer visitors a variety of recreational facilities.
Allergy garden
On an "Allergy Info Mile" one can learn on the display boards mounted in front of the respective plants the different pollen flights, the distribution spaces and other botanical information.
Baroque fountain garden
This fountain garden is actually the former "German Garden of Nations", it was reactivated 2001/2002 and equipped with many partly historical fountains, a brook, perennial beds and opportunities for seating.
Flower Labyrinth
The in diameter 18 m large flower maze was created in 2004. It was modeled after that one at Hellbrunn Palace (Salzburg), however, offers only one way and does not allow decision possibilities. In Vienna, there are still similar facilities, such as a maze in the park of Schönbrunn Palace and the butterfly maze in Florarium.
Film City
In the Film City were in 1920s well known silent films of the film studio Sascha-Film shot, including the epic film Sodom and Gomorrah and the Sklavenkönigin (queen of slaves). In summer, every year these productions are staged in an open-air cinema in the spa gardens.

Japanese Garden
The Takasakipark was the Japanese National contribution on the occasion of the TIG 1974. It was laid out by architect Kunsaku Nakame. After the TIG many National contributions were removed, however, the city of Takasaki campaigned for reconstituting of this contribution and in the 1990s it was reconstructed under the direction of architect Tadashi Ikeda.
Garden of Love
The Garden of Love was also built on the occasion of the TIG and equipped with romantic benches, swings and arbors. All originally used metals were painted in 2001 and the garden was equipped with only white flowering summer flowers, perennials, roses and shrubs. Many wedding couples have photographed themselves here.
The Skateland
In the vicinity of the playground, the beach volleyball court and the giant swing, was built an 1800-square-meter skate area. Originally, during the TIG in 1974 and in subsequent years, this area was known as the "Moon playground".
