This farm implement was a clodbusters to level the fields to baby bottom smooth. This would be a clodhopper if it didn't have enough weight. In fact most would revel in the field smoothed with this device but frankly it mostly opened the soil for blowing to Kansas and even though the concept was to destroy the bugs in the field there has been movement to minimum tillage farming which would require much less labor and enormous fuel and soil savings. I guess this decision would be different for a family organic grower who planned on leaving the land to his heirs or a corporate famer on leased land of large acreage. This device has been lying here fallow for some time.
I resurrected this earlier shot to add to the mass of agricultural shots in the Stream. I restarted with the RAW and used a couple of slices, the second with a stop-and-a-half boost for an Alpha Channel transparency to bring detail up. It's always fun to shoot an abandoned farm but it's a bonus to find some of the old machinery remaining. There are libraries of photos hidden in the details. I will have to take the full frame Nikon back for another trek.
Here we are at the MacIntosh Farm Preservation Center outside of Longmont, Colorado. Boulder County has collected many old agricultural machines on the property that boasts two large barns.

Authoritarian leaders can’t implement their control plans without assistance from others. The same rule applies to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement. His most public-facing “helper” in his effort to bypass our Constitution is his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She promotes Trump’s agenda and spreads his lies to the media every week. Leavitt is his most valuable tool.
What motivates someone to conspire to overthrow a 250-year-old democracy? For some, like Trump, who grew up in a household where personal ambitions were prioritized over the common good, everything centers around him, and he has no hesitation in stating so. I’m not qualified to psychoanalyze him. But it doesn’t take a psychiatrist to see that power and control are his main rewards. For others like Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation’s president and author of the controversial Project 2025, Kevin Roberts, it’s about remaking this country to combat threats they see from what they call the “radical left.” Then there’s Stephen Miller, who believes empathy is a weakness. He’s simply evil. Each person involved in this game uses others to achieve their aims, and all of them share many of the same traits.
So, what drives Karoline Leavitt to spread Trump’s lies? First, let’s examine the role of the press secretary across different administrations. Their job is to promote the president’s narrative, and that narrative often takes precedence over accuracy. It’s about putting a positive spin on publicly available facts and protecting the president from political damage. Most importantly, it’s about discrediting any criticism. In Trump’s world, criticism isn’t seen as a factual challenge; instead, it’s viewed as an attack from the President’s enemies. Loyalty is crucial.
By repeating Trump’s talking points verbatim and treating them as moral mandates, Leavitt shows her loyalty. She doesn’t think she’s lying. Her personal style favors populist nationalism, anti-establishment views, and a confrontational stance toward the mainstream media. In her first briefing as Press Secretary, she said, “We know for a fact there have been lies that have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about this president, about his family, and we will not accept that. We will call you out when we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House. I will hold myself to the truth, and I expect everyone in this room to do the same.” As we’ve learned over the past decade, MAGA’s truth is a matter of personal opinion.
When Trump told Bloomberg Reporter Catherine Lucey to be “quiet, quiet, piggy” after she asked him about the Epstein files, Leavitt stood at her podium and declared matter-of-factly, "Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room," she said. "You've all seen it yourselves. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president, because of his frankness." Only someone who truly believes in Donald Trump’s mission could make a statement like that.
This is why Karoline Leavitt is Donald Trump’s most beloved cheerleader.

Good ideas don’t mean much if we can’t get them into the market.
The biggest challenge is to identify the right business models that can be implemented not tomorrow but today! It’s time to get disruptive :) There are many new business models emblematic of our generation, yet they remain poorly understood, even as they transform competitive landscapes across industries. This workshop builds on the proven Business Model Canvas and offers you powerful, simple, tested tools for understanding, designing, reworking, and implementing business models that could see your idea rise into a profitable business. But you won’t spend your time listening to presentations, this is an intensive working session for anyone striving to improve their existing business model — or craft a new one.
Change the way you think about business models
This workshop will teach you powerful and practical innovation techniques used today by leading companies worldwide. You will learn how to systematically understand, design, and implement a new business model — or analyze and renovate old ones.
Co-created by 470 strategy practitioners
At this workshop we will implement a number of tools crowdsourced from 470 practitioners from 45 countries. These tools were financed and produced independently of the traditional publishing industry. They feature a tightly-integrated, visual, lie-flat design that enables immediate hands-on use.
Designed for doers
This workshop is for those ready to abandon outmoded thinking and embrace new, innovative models of value creation: executives, consultants, entrepreneurs — and leaders of all organizations.

Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.
AGAHI is UNESCO implementing partner in Pakistan. A not for profit, AGAHI specializes in creating communication, information and media policy design tools, that enables the stakeholders to engage in information collaboration on knowledge-based platforms. AGAHI works in building the capacity of knowledge workers in creating content based on best practices to disseminate information in building a more integrated knowledge ecosystem.

It was then when I spoke about our dream of the Africa we want, in the e-mail from the future.
Two years later, as we gather here in Mekelle, Tigray region we can report that we have made some headway. As discussed at this retreat, we now have Agenda 2063 as our clarion call for action, supported by all sections of the African society”, stated the AUC Chairperson. She explained that, “we are now clear on the priorities of Agenda 2063, investing in our people, especially youth and women; in agricultural modernization and agro-businesses; in manufacturing and industrialization; the development of our infrastructure; democracy and developmental governance, as well as the need of silencing the guns by 2020.”
“Our Agenda 2063 flagship projects - such as the free movement of people, the Commodities strategy, the Pan African Integrated High speed Rail network - is taking off, and should help towards our vision of an integrated, peaceful and prosperous Africa, driven by its own people and taking its rightful place in the world”, underscored Dr. Dlamini Zuma.
Referring to the song on Agenda 2063 composed by a group of artists from Zimbabwe, played during the opening ceremony of the retreat, the AUC Chairperson called on other artists within the continent to emulate the good example. “ I would like to thank the Zimbabwean artists who came up with that song on Agenda 2063, and I challenge all of us to encourage our artists to compose as many songs as possible. Of course as the Chair of the Union, Zimbabwe led from the front”. She thanks the Mekelle authorities for hosting the AU Ministerial retreat and wished the Ministers fruitful deliberation.

The Chairperson of the Executive Council on his part, recalled the high moments and priorities on Agenda 2063 saying “our Agenda is centred in the review of implementation of decisions taken during the 2nd Ministerial retreat and update on the implementation of the 1st ten year plan of Agenda 2063, the free movement of goods and persons, the issue of Immigration and tourism and wild life preservation”. Minister Mumbengegwi stressed that “as we continue streamlining and improving the working methods of our Union, we also need to consider how best we can align our bi-annual Summits in order to improve the effectiveness of our organisation and to give ourselves ample time to implement our decisions”.
