Part of the Hale Village Development by Lee Valley Estates. Masterplan by BDP
§ Quotation below from RUDI (Resource for Urban Design Information) website.
"BDP was commissioned by Lee Valley Estates to provide a masterplan for the former GLS [Greater London Supplies] site located immediately adjacent to Tottenham Hale Station in the London Borough of Haringey in north London."
"The residential-led scheme will include a mix of uses including office, education, health, a hotel and local retail. The residential element will comprise 900 private tenure units and 300 affordable units, and at a density in line with the GLA recommendations for brown field sites. The site will be fully accessible and permeable, and provide amenities for existing local residents and workers in the area."
"Key sustainability features for the site include:
● CCHP (combined, cooling, heating and power generation) as part of a whole site-wide energy infrastructure scheme – biomass boilers that will provide a minimum of 10 percent CO2 savings from the site through provision of thermal energy for the district heating network
● Brownfield site adjacent to major transport hub
● Rainwater harvesting
● Green roofs
"This scheme demonstrates how imaginative private sector investment can generate a mixed and sustainable development. The project will at the same time set a new and higher quality benchmark for future investment in the area and kick start the regeneration of Tottenham Hale."
I wonder if BDP click their ruby slippers, and ever follow the gold- brick road back to the Orange and Emerald City they birthed?

Creative Financing to Make Small-Scale Farming Technologies Affordable for the Rural Poor
Small-scale farming is the principal source of livelihood for many in Kenya. Agriculture provides 71 percent of employment and accounts for over 25 percent of Kenya‘s GDP. KickStart International’s shallow water irrigation pumps can increase annual net-farm incomes for these farmers by an average of $700 per year. Despite the relatively low cost of KickStart’s pumps, however, they are still beyond the reach of many poor farmers who often have irregular incomes and find it difficult to pay the large up-front cost of the pump. With support from DIV, KickStart is testing two innovative financing mechanisms to increase access to these products and help break down critical financial barriers.

With this series of photographs, my goal was to portray the hardships of the life of seniors and less-abled people in Lithuania: they do not get the respect they deserve and any attempts to bring this up publicly are usually silenced before they can make any impact. The head of the local retirement home does her best to improve the residents’ wellbeing, but both the government and the public reject these attempts. This topic is somewhat of a taboo nationwide: seniors and less- abled people are considered unnecessary, thus not worthy to talk about.
I have started a charity organization in an attempt to raise awareness and funds to help those in need. These photographs portray the pain one experiences when visiting these people. Sadly, their everyday life lacks the most important amenities and funds are scarce even for the basic hygiene products. The project’s goal was to organize a fundraising event including plein air painting by local artists and selling their works. While the gathered amount was not very large, it was enough to buy an air-conditioning unit for the retirement home to improve the residents’ comfort.
The visitors of the event were mostly only family, friends, and acquaintances, further showing that the issues of seniors and less-abled people are not considered as important in the general public. I hope the project’s different approach captures more attention to the difficulties these people face every day and will kickstart change in the official and public opinions.
These are the newest product offering from the people at Mountain Dew. It's carbonated but they don't call it a soda, since it contains 5% juice. It's got ingredients that you'd find in an energy drink, but they don;t call it an energy drink. They are starting a new category for drinks that get you going at breakfast time and are competing with coffee. Right now, there are two flavors, orange and fruit punch. In my opinion they were ok, but I'd probably never buy another one. I'm already a huge fan of the original Dew and I'd rather have that for breakfast.

On my way home from the closing on our old apartment.
Interesting advertisement saying "Kickstart Your Career."
I think I'll stay retired.
(cow + clones)
Anyways, just making some more, simple figures with the new cow heads.
More detailed figures up these next couple of weeks. I'll probably be a little inactive (finals are coming up :3) but I get a whole month off (December) so expect more photos these next few weeks and especially in December!
