The judges for the "Arrowhead Patrol Camping Trophy" at Charlton Farm, Wraxall, Somerset. 18th September 1933. From left to right are "Wiggy", "Mr Prior" and "Charlie".
This picture was taken by my grandfather who was involved in the staffing of the camp as a "Rover Squire" (a trainee Rover Scout, or Venture Scout as we called it in my day).
All this information comes from a camping & hiking log that my grandfather had written up in an exercise book. It contains many pictures but I just rather like this one.
A student examines insect samples during a university open house for Mexican students. On 27 September 2007, 200 students from eight universities visited CIMMYT's headquarters at El Batán, Mexico, where they toured the biotechnology laboratories, germplasm bank, and maize and wheat fields, while learning about the center’s mission and work. The aim of the event was to raise student interest in agricultural research, and perhaps encourage future collaboration with CIMMYT. This was the first time such an open house was held, and it has now become an annual event, known as "CIMMYT a Puerta Abierta".

I received a very nice book as a gift when I was in Bangkok. The book is entitled Sufficiency Thinking:Thailand's gift to an unsustainable world / edited by Gayle C. Avery and Harald Bergsteiner.
I got the jeweler's loupe for my birthday, this was the first day using it for sharpening knives. It makes it a lot easier to tell if I'm using the right angle on the stone, and if I've taken out all the nicks, and created a good edge. On weekends, I try not to get dressed, and to stay in the robe for as long as possible.

In this photo: Dr. Katharine Hope examines the Zoo's 6-week-old female cheetah.
At 6 weeks old, the Smithsonian’s National Zoo’s two cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) cubs received a clean bill of health from Zoo veterinarians June 7. The veterinary team performed a complete physical exam, which includes: listening to the cubs’ heart and lungs; checking their mouth, eyes, legs, feet and genital area; taking blood samples; and observing the cubs’ mobility. The cubs also received the first of a series of vaccines that protect against feline distemper and some upper respiratory viruses.
Both cubs are gaining weight steadily. The male weighs 1,853 grams and the female weighs 1,805 grams—about four pounds each. The Zoo’s Department of Nutrition Sciences developed a balanced diet that includes a beef-based solid food and a formula containing disease-fighting immunities found in a mother cheetah’s milk. Keepers report that the cubs are very active and spend much of their time running, jumping and chasing one another in their enclosure. Zoo visitors will have the opportunity to see the cubs later this summer when they make their debut at the Cheetah Conservation Station.
To follow the cubs’ development, read Great Cat Communiqué and check for news on the Zoo’s Facebook page and Twitter feed.

A local farmer examines the soil on an experimental plot under conservation agriculture at the Ningxia Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences (NAAFS) experiment station, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. CIMMYT is developing a new collaboration with NAAFS as part of the center's growing relationship with China, and CIMMYT's director general Thomas Lumpkin visited Ningxia in February 2011. Meetings concentrated on posting an internationally-recruited agronomist in the province, to aid in initiating a second Green Revolution focusing on conservation agriculture to reduce erosion and increase production.

Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife Pat examine a plaque accepted by Eugene Davidson, president of the D.C. NAACP, on behalf of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. from the black Capital Press Club May 25, 1957.
From left to right: Samuel Hoskins, managing editor of the Washington Afro-American; Patricia Nixon, wife of U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon, Davidson and Nixon.
Davidson was a real estate broker who first worked in the family real estate business and later founded his own firm in 1947.
Eugene V. Davidson, the president of the District of Columbia NAACP from 1952 to 1958.
Davidson gained early fame when he was named administrator of the New Negro Alliance in 1939.
Davidson broadened the NNA to include left-wing activists like Doxey Wilkerson, U. Simpson Tate and George H. Rycraw as well as moderates like future mayor Walter Washington and Roberta Hastie, wife of Judge William H. Hastie.
The group had been picketing and boycotting stores in the District since 1933 under the slogan, “Don’t buy where you can’t work.”
The group had initial success in a number of smaller stores and early on convinced the A&P grocery store to integrate three of its stores located in black neighborhoods, but efforts had stalled.
Davidson renewed the offensive against smaller stores and quickly desegregated Joseph Oxenburg at 1314 7th Street NW, Bonnett’s Shore Store at 1310 7th Street and Capitol Shoe Store at 1338 7th Street.
He recruited national NAACP president Walter White and prominent rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune to picket People’s Drug Store demanding that the chain hire black clerks and cashiers.
Despite the renewed pressure, chains like Sanitary Grocery (Safeway) and People’s Drug Store successfully resisted the pressure.
During 1941, Davidson helped organize the local chapter of A. Phillip Randolph’s March on Washington Movement whose threatened demonstration prompted President Franklin Roosevelt to issue an executive order barring discrimination in defense-related industry.
While head of the local NAACP, Davidson oversaw the end of legal segregation in the District and challenged many institutions to live up to the law, including D.C. schools, the police and fire departments, and the board of realtors.
It was after he charged the District police department with brutality in 1957 that a cross was burned in front of his house.
Davidson was a District of Columbia native who graduated from what would become Dunbar High School. He graduated from Howard University, received an A. B. degree from Harvard and returned to Howard to get a bachelor of laws degree.
He began assisting his father, who had been the first executive secretary of the District of Columbia NAACP, in the family real estate business. He continued to run the company until his retirement in 1973.
He served in the U.S. Army as a lieutenant in World War I and at one time was editor of three black-oriented newspapers in the city.
Davidson died in 1976
