Canfield Local Schools 40 - 2010 IC FE; CCI North Coast International - Akron, Ohio. Bought as a stock unit from CCI North Coast International in March 2012 to replace the former 40 which was involved in a wreck in winter 2011-2012. The former 40 hit a light pole at a parochial school during it's route. This bus was bought on an emergency in which the district did not need to get bids for new buses or put out an order for a new one. Instead, they got an off-the-lot unit to get on the road as soon as possible. The last IC FE to be purchased at CCI North Coast International. Bus sat on the lot for a long while before being purchased by Canfield.

Standing Up, Speaking Out: Local Power and Women's Rights
(Jason Taylor, Maharashtra)
It was a policy born of a shining promise-that decentralized governments would help empower tens of millions of women in developing countries. But has shifting more power and resources to the local level really improved women’s lives? Has it resulted in more girls going to school, more pregnant women receiving a doctor’s care, more women owning the land they till, and more women playing their rightful role in all levels of government?
Promoted by many donor organizations, decentralization is intended to make government more effective and accountable by bringing it closer to the people. For women who have been excluded from political decision-making, decentralization theoretically allows them to challenge how resources are allocated in their communities, including services like basic health care, access to water and education.

Défendre ses droits ! Prendre la parole ! Les pouvoirs locaux et les droits des femmes
(Jason Taylor, Maharashtra)
On avait fondé beaucoup d’espoirs dans la décentralisation. En effet, on pensait qu’elle contribuerait à l’autonomisation de dizaines de millions de femmes dans les pays en développement. Mais le transfert de pouvoirs et de ressources à l’échelon local s’est-il réellement traduit par une amélioration de la condition des femmes ? Par un plus grand nombre de fillettes sur les bancs d’école, de femmes enceintes ayant accès à un suivi médical, de femmes possédant les terres qu’elles cultivent, de femmes qui jouent le rôle qui leur revient au sein des divers ordres de gouvernement ?
De nombreux bailleurs de fonds promeuvent la décentralisation, car elle est censée rendre le gouvernement plus efficace et plus responsable en le rapprochant de la population. Les femmes ayant été exclues de la prise de décision politique, la décentralisation devrait en théorie les aider à s’élever contre la façon dont la répartition des ressources se fait dans leur collectivité, notamment en ce qui concerne les besoins fondamentaux que sont l’accès à des services de santé de base, à l’eau et à l’éducation.

A Saturday afternoon visit to the Port Coquitlam Farmers’ Market offered a sun-kissed view of the many local vendors selling fresh produce, hand crafted goods, and locally produced BC wine and spirits. The market welcomed Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Policy Reform John Yap and Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer as they sampled the local cuisine and got a lesson in perfect food and wine pairings.

La Croix-Rouge française dans ces nouveaux locaux 7 RUE ROGER SALENGRO 02000 LAON
La Croix-Rouge prend sa place
Les anciens locaux de l'APEI, rue Léon-Nanquette, ne resteront pas vacants très longtemps.
La Croix-Rouge, à l'étroit, rue Vinchon sur le Plateau, a déménager au cours de l'été.
Les bénévoles ne vont pas regretter cette grande maison délabrée avec des étages interminables,
des pièces exiguës, et des problèmes de stationnement. Les conditions de travail de la Croix-Rouge ne sont pas idéales, rue Vinchon.
Pourtant ces locaux abritent les activités de l'association depuis des dizaines d'années.
Les bénévoles se débrouillent tant bien que mal pour accomplir leurs missions et accueillir le public, malgré l'étroitesse des lieux et le manque de
confidentialité.
Stationnement
« Nous sommes très satisfaits de partir, affirme Josiane Boulanger, la présidente de l'association, qui attendait cette bonne nouvelle.
C'est un grand progrès.
Le principal avantage est que toutes les salles seront situées sur un seul et même niveau. Ce sera plus adapté à nos activités.
Nous allons d'abord devoir faire quelques travaux pour accueillir plus facilement les personnes à mobilité réduite et pour que les camions de denrées aient un accès direct.
Beaucoup de bénévoles sont des retraités.
On ne peut pas leur demander de décharger 800 kg de victuailles sur des palettes avec les bras. »
Un autre avantage de la ville basse devrait être le stationnement.
Les personnes qui viennent actuellement chercher l'aide alimentaire se garent généralement à cheval sur le trottoir, près du rempart du Midi.
La semaine dernière, des bénéficiaires ont eu leur numéro de plaque d'immatriculation relevé par des policiers, venus à moto de l'extérieur de Laon. « Je sais bien que nous n'avons pas respecté le code de la route. Il y avait effectivement des voitures sur le trottoir, mais comment peuvent faire les gens qui doivent porter des colis de 15 kg ? Aller se garer sous le rempart ? » interroge la présidente.
« J'ai déjà dû récupérer un garage pour éviter que les gens attendent dans la rue, parfois sous la pluie », précise Mme Boulanger. À l'avenir, d'ailleurs, pour éviter une trop longue attente, des tranches horaires devraient aussi être données « et nous aurons un bureau de plus pour recevoir les gens ».

Owing to their fisherman’s reporting system and growing relationship with the fishing industry, the skipper of Emily K, Falmouth, had reported a string of pots which had been lost in the winter storms.
A team of seven volunteer divers from the charity, specially trained to survey and recover lost fishing gear, set off from Mylor on board Moonshadow.
3 teams of divers searched north and south of the given marks and encountered one end of a string of pots, covering some distance to confirm the string was lost.
One of the teams found pots leading off the reef down to 33m depth, ending with the main line tangled around a boulder and a frayed snapped rope. They surveyed 12 pots in detail, finding a lot of crab and lobster still alive in the pots.
Another team found the other end of the string which stretched almost half a mile across the reef with over 30 pots. They marked this with a surface marker buoy for the return the next day.
Deemed too many to recover onto the dive boat in one go, the skipper was in contact with the local fishermen discussing whose gear it could be, to arrange assistance to recover it. The owner was contacted to discuss recovery options and he confirmed that the string should have 36 pots, lost 12-18 months ago.
The divers recovered 12 pots freeing 35 Edible Crab, 7 Spider Crab, 3 Lobsters, 10 Starfish, A flatfish and a Scallop (all alive except for 3 edible crabs) The remaining pots were marked with a buoy for the fishing vessel to recover onto their larger boat the following Monday. The divers had cleared all pots of obstructions over the 2 dives, so hauling onto the vessel was straightforward.
Jamie of Emily K told us “We were delighted to have a string of pots we’d lost in the storms, recovered. The work you’re doing is fantastic for the inshore grounds and fleet. Please keep up the good work. “

Deze foto moet ik toelichten. Waarom heb ik dit beeld gekozen als foto bij het thema couleur locale? Waarom niet een landschap met een typische kleur voor de Nederlandse of Noord-Hollandse natuur? Wel, omdat ik me voor dit thema heb laten inspireren door onze multiculturele samenleving. Die met name hier in de Randstad evident is. (Zie hier een wereldkaart met de percentages mensen die niet in de betreffende landen zijn geboren; voor Nederland als geheel is dit al 15 à 20 procent.) Uiteraard had ik een straatfoto kunnen schieten met mensen van verschillende achtergronden gevangen in één beeld, Echter, ik was op zoek naar een meer abstract beeld. Naar vooral een meer symbolisch beeld.
En toen vond ik dit oude doosje pastelkrijt. Verschillende kleuren krijt die deels symbool staan voor de diverse huidkleuren, maar vooral voor de verschillende culturen. Geen enkele cultuur is volledig geïsoleerd; we leren allemaal wel iets van de andere culturen en nemen er bepaalde elementen van over. Dit zie je duidelijk terug in de bont gekleurde schilfers die de verschillende krijtjes onderling op elkaar hebben achtergelaten. Ook zie je dit terug in het feit dat alle krijtjes ten minste één anders gekleurd krijtje raken. Allemaal staan we met elkaar in verbinding; allemaal raken we elkaar. En zelfs onze samenleving (het witte doosje) wordt letterlijk gekleurd door de diverse culturen die erin verenigd zijn.
Het kader heb ik bewust zo gekozen. Om de kijker vooral niet af te laten leiden van waar het mijns inziens in dit beeld om gaat: de krijtjes (de verschillende culturen) in het doosje (onze samenleving). De lokale kleuren; de couleur locale.

I was getting rid of a load of old cassettes and found all these. I won't be throwing them out but I do need some way to get them on to my iTunes.
They're mostly local (Northern Irish) bands and I'm pretty sure none of it is available on iTunes.

Características
O macho mede 12,5 cm e a fêmea, 11 cm, incluindo o prolongamento da cauda. Apresenta o típico dimorfismo sexual do gênero, com o macho possuindo 4 cores: branco, verde, preto e vermelho, em um padrão bastante marcante; a fêmea é verde-oliva nas partes superiores e cinza nos lados da cabeça e garganta, apresentando a cauda com prolongamento menor do que o do macho. Apresenta vocalização ou chamado em tom agudo, e frequenta áreas sombreadas à média e baixa altura da vegetação.
Alimentação
Alimenta-se de frutinhas que engole inteiras (típico dos Pipridae) e pequenos insetos.
Reprodução
Faz o ninho em forma de taça, com 2 a 3 ovos. Apresenta display de acasalamento; onde o macho efetua uma dança diante da fêmea, e realiza um “vai-vem” de um galho a outro, lembrando o ato de costurar; o que lhe rendeu o nome regional no litoral sul de São Paulo, como “tangará-rendeira”.
Durante o display de acasalamento, e mesmo fora dele, Ilicura militaris emite surpreendentes sons com suas penas especiais em vôos curtos. Os sons assemelham-se ao de passar-se com força e rapidamente, uma vareta numa grade de metal.
Hábitos
Varia de incomum a localmente comum nos estratos inferior e médio de florestas úmidas e capoeiras altas. Vive normalmente solitário, sendo observado com maior freqüência alimentando-se em árvores frutíferas e arbustos, nas bordas das florestas.
Distribuição Geográfica
Encontrado exclusivamente no Brasil, no sul da Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná e Santa Catarina. Registros fotográficos de 26 e 27 de março de 2011 atestam a ocorrência da espécie em Cocalzinho de Goiás/GO, a 120 km de Brasília/DF.
