This is a photo of the food distribution centre that Human Appeal International setup in Somalia to help the people affected by the famine.
We distribute food parcels containing essential food items that are sourced locally to accommodate for custom and taste. Each parcel is designed to last a family for one month.

we’d like to introduce you today to Lindsay Beazley.
Lindsay works as a biologist for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, a department of the Canadian government. Her job is focused on studying and mapping the distribution of vulnerable marine species, such as corals and sponges off the east coast of Canada and in international waters.
In the earlier years of her education, Lindsay never thought her interests in marine biology would lead her to study the deep sea, but in the third year of her Bachelors degree she participated in her first oceanographic cruise where a remotely operated vehicle was used to explore the deep ocean off Canada. Her work has been focused on deep-sea ecosystems ever since.
Lindsay’s interest in marine biology began at a very early age. She first began to love the ocean after watching the Disney movie The Little Mermaid. Other movies, such as Jaws, furthered her interests in marine biology.
On board R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen Lindsay’s task is to analyse and identify benthic marine invertebrates from video and sediment samples collected using the Video Assisted Multi Sampler (VAMS) system. Lindsay is surprised to see some of the same deep-sea animals in the southern Indian Ocean that she has observed off Canada, and is really excited about the diversity of animals observed so far on the trip.
Lindsay wants to continue to work in the field of deep-sea biology, and expand her knowledge to different deep-sea ecosystems around the world. She hopes that she will have many more opportunities like this one to study other deep-sea ecosystems around the world.
The new main distribution ditch proved photographically interesting for the machine marks on its recently worked clay bottom and the occasional accent provided by residual salt and halophiles.

With the arrival of fall the nesting season is over and I am allowed to photograph in the South Bay again. This year I received a request to photograph a construction project that is subdividing Salt Pond A12 into series of smaller managed ponds to serve as avian habitat. The ponds will be kept at different salinities.
This project occurs along the banks of Mt. Eden Slough, the “cradle of San Francisco’s salt industry” according to author John Sandoval. This section of former marsh is where the first small salt operations appeared in the 19th Century and here remain the most interesting of old salt works ruins, some so faint they are at the threshold of perception. The land is now going through yet another transformation as part of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project and will see considerable change over the next few years. It should be fun to watch.
The set captures the construction project well underway as heavy machinery creates distribution ditches and flow control structures. Many photographs in this set are prosaic images documenting construction. But the session also found some interesting surface textures, particularly in the machine worked layers of clay that line the new ditches. The set also contains a few photographs of Mount Eden Creek Marsh, an area restored to tidal flow in 2008.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. Kite flying is prohibited over the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve without a Special Use Permit, as is access to this part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge.

Distribution: Philippines (42 PHI)
Lifeform: Epiphytic cham.
Homotypic Names:
* Renanthera storiei var. philippinensis Ames & Quisumb., Philipp. J. Sci. 47: 110 (1932).
(* Basionym/Replaced Synonym)
TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Cephalopoda
Order: Nautilida
Family: Nautilidae
Genus/species: Nautilus pompilius
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Snail-like shell lined with alternating wavy brown and white lines. They show countershading with lighter bottoms and darker tops. Nautiluses shells are divided into chambers. A tube called a siphuncle runs down the center of these chambers releasing a gas to maintain buoyancy. 90 small suckerless tentacles are located below the hood. As they grow, they move into a new, larger chamber and close the old one. Circumference to 20 cm
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Indo-Pacific.
Depth: Primarily live near the bottom, in waters up to 500 meters deep, but rise closer to the surface throughout the night.
DIET IN THE WILD: Migrate to shallower waters each evening to feed. Benthic scavenger and predator. Due to its primitive eyes and sensitivity to light, N. pompilius relies on its sense of smell to detect the fishes and crabs that it feeds on. They also feed on carrion.
REPRODUCTION: They reproduce sexually through internal fertilization and reaching sexual maturity at age 15 to 20 years. Males have a modified arm which functions to transfer a sperm packet to females which adheres to the female's mantle wall.. Fertilization occurs much later when the eggs are deposited. The newly hatched chambered nautilus has a shell that is about one inch in diameter and mature at one year.
PREDATORS: Carnivorous fishes.
REMARKS :To “swim,” the nautilus draws water into its mantle cavity and then expels if force fully through a siphon, which can be moved to change the animal’s direction. Though the nautilus is able to adjust its neutral buoyancy much like a submarine, by adding to or reducing the amount of liquid in its chambers, its water jet provides the propulsion for its often daily migration from the cool depths it prefers in the daytime to the nighttime shallows where it feeds.
They first appeared around 550 million years ago peaking in the Paleozoic era where some had shells with a length of twenty or thirty feet if uncoiled.

Illinois law says people riding bikes must have a front white light and a rear red reflector (although Active Transportation Alliance and the City of Chicago recommend a rear red light).
Lawyer Jim Freeman and Groupon customers donated 200 bike lights to be given away to people riding bikes without a headlight at Milwaukee/North/Damen on Wednesday, November 10, 2010.
I think only 2 people refused.
Lights in the "giveaway" are Cateye HL-EL135N (a wonderful and easy to remember name).
Here are some pictures i took of the former distribution center For anyone curious the writing on the board says Fu*k u amazon
There is so much food being given out, at a time of record food bank demand because of the economic havoc wrought by COVID. This was probably the least photogenic of the food distribution points, but it was the one I could get a photo of with no faces in it.

Kenya Red Cross Society as part of its Early Action Protocols for drought conducted a seed distribution in the semi-arid communities of Kwale County some of which have not had rainfall for up to three years.
