Part of a beermat marketing exercise I saw whilst in north Wales on Pauls' stag do. The beer mat is pushing a new programme 'A470' [a road that cuts across Wales] on S4C [Welsh Channel 4]. The flip side of the mat is here.
I like it - the illustration is great. I wish I'd kept the whole set of characters. It has added resonance because I got hideously lost on the A470 and resorted to asking strangers directions in the dark - only to get more lost. It's weird in north Wales.

The Ministry of Planning and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Launched the Results of the Identification of Informal Settlements in Iraq
Baghdad, 20 August 2017 - The Ministry of Planning, in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), have launched the results of the identification of informal settlements in Iraq, which comprised of 3,687 informal settlements in 12 governorates, inhabited by about 3.2 million Iraqis.
This came during the event held by the Ministry of Planning and the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) in Baghdad within the framework of the National Programme for Rehabilitation and Regularization of Informal Settlements and IDPs areas in Iraq implemented by UN-Habitat and funded by the Office of Refugees and IDP Affairs at the US Embassy.
H.E. Dr. Salman al-Jumaili the Minister of Planning said that "the problem of Informal Settlements has been exacerbated by the aggravated housing crisis in the country, which is increasing year after year, in addition to the lack of enforcement of laws and regulations that contribute to reduce this problem, noting that the problem of Informal Settlements has become widespread and is hindering community development programs".
On his side, H.E. the Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers Dr. Mahdi Al-Allaq pointed out that the Cabinet's Resolution No. 279 of 2015, which includes the endorsement of the road map that was submitted by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, paved the way for the implementation of the National Program for the Rehabilitation and Regularization of Informal Settlements In Iraq, and contributed to addressing the problem in a comprehensive manner in terms of its political, economic, health, physical and social aspects, within a sustainable and practical framework.
The Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq Ms. Liz Grande praised the efforts of the Iraqi Government and the United Nations Human Settlements Program in carrying out this work, noting that the United Nations "will make every effort to help to resolve this problem and that the current national programme has provided the relevant technical solutions based on modern and successful experiences in many countries". "Iraqis can trust that they can count on the United Nations as they rebuild their country", and she assured that "there will be a global conference to be held soon to help on the reconstruction in Iraq"
In the same context, Mr. Cris Dilworth, the Representative of the Office of Refugees and IDP Affairs at the US Embassy added "this project will contribute to addressing the Informal Settlements and finding solutions for the displaced people, especially in the presence of areas that are heavily destroyed in many cities of Iraq, that caused the emergence of new slums", expressing his belief that "thanks to this intervention, we will be able to impede the growth of slums during the post-ISIL era".
The Head of UN-Habitat in Iraq, Dr. Erfan Ali, emphasized on the continuation of the national programme to support the Iraqi Government to carry on the agreed action plans and strategies, to upgrade the informal settlements and IDPs areas, and continue together to implement the legal ,technical and institutional steps according to the work methodology of the programme following the endorsement of the legislative framework by the Parliament, and upon issuing the regulation for establishing the Informal Settlements Rehabilitation Fund by the Iraqi Council of Ministers.
The current results revealed that there are 3,687 informal settlements including 521,947 illegal housing units where 3.2 million inhabitants are accommodated. The capital Baghdad was the city with the largest number of informal settlements, with 1022 areas, followed by Basra and Dhiqar with 677 settlements and 333 settlements, respectively. The current identification of informal settlements covers 12 Governorates excluding the KR-I and the Governorates of Ninewa, Salahadin and Anbar, where the areas identification work began recently.

AMURT UK London feeding programmes for homeless and disadvantaged children's families during covid-19
The Rotor programme was developed to advance the wartime radar technology in detecting and locating fast-flying jets. It was approved by the Air Council in June 1950. The first stage of the programme, Rotor 1, was to technically restore existing Chain Home, centrimetric early warning, Chain Home Extra Low and Ground Controlled Interception Stations and put them under the control of RAF Fighter Command. There were three main components to the Rotor Stations: the technical site, including the radars, operation blocks and other installations; the domestic site, where personnel were accommodated; and the stand-by set house, a reserve power supply. The technical site for RAF Neatishead Rotor Station was located at TG 346 184. Crew were accommodated at RAF Coltishall and the stand-by set house was located at TG 342 200.
The two main constructions at Rotor stations were the operations block and guardhouse. Operations blocks were the largest structures built at Rotor stations. They were constructed of reinforced concrete and designed to withstand 2,000lb bombs. The outer walls and roof of the Rotor operations blocks were 9ft 10in thick and the internal walls between 5.9in to 1ft 11in metres wide. The exterior was coated with an asphalt damp course and surrounded by a 5.9in brick wall. The roof was usually flush with the ground surface and up to 14 ft 2in of earth was mounded on top. The operations blocks, identified by a 'R' prefix, contained technical equipment, domestic facilities, workshops and a plant for air conditioning and gas filtration, all within a single complex.
Four of the blocks (R1-R4) were underground constructions designed for the more vulnerable sites on the east and south-east coasts. Others were semi-submerged (R6) or above ground (R5, R7-R11) heavily protected structures built to withstand 1,000lb bombs. The guardhouses were designed to resemble ''bungalows''. They were single-storey buildings capped with a flat, concrete roof, above which a pitched roof contained water tanks. They were generally constructed of brick, but were built to blend in with the local architectural style. The guard rooms also contained an armoury, store, rest room and lavatories. Those associated with underground operations blocks featured a projecting rear annex that housed a stairwell leading down to an access tunnel.
Aerial photography from 1965 shows the R3 operations bunker at the site, as well as a Type 13, a Type 7 and four Type 14 radar plinths. A range of ancillary buildings survive. The area is part of an active base and museum. In March 1947 the station was established as a Sector Operations Centre. Between 1961 to 1963 the station was reduced to care and maintenance and was then reopened as a Master Radar Station. A fire in 1966 destroyed the underground operations complex and the station was closed until 1974 with a new data-handling system occupying the original Happidrome. In 1994 the Air Defence Radar Museum opened at the site, which also continues to serve as an operational base.
Personal experience of working at Neatishead communicated by email states ''I was posted there as a sgt in 1973 and it was fully operational, T85, T84, HF200 and more all working. Furthermore, the other half of my Locking entry was posted there in 1971 and all worked on the operational radars, txs and rxs. I left in 1976 and visited again in 1977. T85, stuff of legends, 60Mw with all 12 Txs running''. Detailed history of the 50 years of the founding of RAF Neatishead 1941-1991. R30 operations room, R12 Radar equipment building and R3 underground operations block; Listed. For the designation records of this site please see The National Heritage List for England. Decommissioned 2006 and sold. Feb 2013, 25 acres of the site were again sold. The Air Defence Radar Museum was not part of the sale.
