Brendon is one off the last in Line who fish from the shore line .. An ancient / Roman time pursuit , done by crossing the Mud flats of the sea on wooden sledges / trolley / Mud Horse ! They go two miles out on trechorous sinking mud to go and collect the fish that have been caught in the nets that have been tied to stakes. They have approx two hours to collect the days catch and push themsleves back , the tide is one of the highest and quickest in Europe so one has to keep an eye on the tide or you will never get back. The picture i included is the wooden sea horse plus the fish shed , where the fish is sold to the locals from far and wide. Brendon's Son has now taken over , they fish for 8 days then take a break pending the moon and tide ... Start all over again. These guys are serious ! Believe you me .. The only family fishing this way in The whole of Europe. Now , this is part of the story as i have been asked to go out with Adrain and photo while out in the mud flats !! A possible chance .. least there is no heights involved but i cant swim , never go in the sea lol ( The tide is out but one will be looking over one' s shoulder to keep an eye on the tide !! In B&W it will be spectaular but then again sinking mud .. just you and the Mud Horse to keep you from sinking .. Rather you than me but anything for a photo !!
If you google Stolford , Mud Horse . sellick , you will see the history on what they do !!
This will be my last post now so tally ho ! Im planned and ready for the off .. catch up mid september ... Good luck to all you new members of this fantastic project CJ.. keep snapping and the well established members go slow !! I will be back
Andrew Zuckerman: The Wisdom Project
Filmmaker and photographer Andrew Zuckerman thinks hard-won insights should be shared. That’s why he’s releasing The Wisdom Project, a one-hour documentary film and companion book that share the collective experiences of 51 luminaries over age 65, including authors, artists, and world leaders from Willie Nelson to Nelson Mandela.
Inspired by the ancient African concept of ubuntu, which emphasizes human connectedness—I am what I am because of who we all are—Zuckerman set out to gather and communicate the lessons his extraordinary subjects have learned about love, work, the environment, and conflict resolution. “We live in a confusing and fast-changing world,” says the filmmaker. “It’s a great time to look to our elders, to see what they have to say that can help us.”
There is a short inspiring capture of people that is quite moving to listen to.

Urban Belonging Project was created by Urban Belonging Collective (INT): Sofie Burgos-Thorsen (DK), Drude Emilie Ehn (DK), Anders Koed Madsen (DK), Thorben Simonsen (DK), Sabine Niederer (NL), Maarten Groen (NL), Carlo De Gaetano (IT), Kathrine Norsk (DK), Federico Di Fresco (AR), Gehl Architects (DK), Techno-Anthropology Lab – Aalborg University (DK), Service Design Lab – Aalborg University (DK), Visual Methodologies Collective – Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (NL), Center for Digital Welfare – IT University Copenhagen (DK).
The Urban Belonging Project innovates methods for citizen engagement that foreground diverse and marginalized experiences in planning. The project invited participants who identify as lgbt+, deaf, homeless, internationals, ethnic minorities, mentally vulnerable, and/or physically disabled to document their experiences of belonging in Copenhagen using participatory GIS and a new open source photovoice app, developed for the project.

This afternoon I had to go to our office on Boulcott Street for an hour. It's about 12 minutes walk from my office and up a lot of steps!

Like a sinister exhibit in one of Blackpool 's Victorian freak shows, the skeleton of a killer whale made from pulsating dark blue neon can be viewed through portholes within a metal tank like a decompression chamber.

RAINWATER PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1.0 Introduction
Proper project cycle management is required to promote indigenous rainwater harvesting technology in the ASALs of Kenya Often times, this project cycle is catalyzed by the government, NGOs or external donors by funding demonstration projects. In this article I discuss the key success factors in such community water project management. The project cycle described is based on 5 phases that will be outlined below.
2.0 Project identification phase
Two main things happen during the project identification phase:-
•Need identification
•Stakeholder identification
2.1 The project need
The need for a community water project is identified by a project champion. A project champion can come from the community or from outside the community. The role of the project champion is to originate the project vision.
The project vision has the following 4 components:-
•Where are we now? How serious is the problem of water scarcity is the area?
•Where could we be if we had water? What things could we do if we had water?
•How could we solve the water problem? What facility could we install? How could we finance it?
•How can we ensure we succeed? What are the main risks and issues to be tackled? How can we overcome the risks and get the project going?
2.2 The project stakeholders
The project champion soon realizes that she/he cannot do the project alone. The project champion then seeks to involve the project stakeholders by doing the following things:-
a)Identifying the key stakeholders
In a community water project, these are likely to be the water project end-users, potential labourers, potential project administrators, the relevant government ministries, material suppliers, grant makers and collaborating partners like NGOs.
In particular the project champ should identify representatives of these stakeholders groups and convince them to push the idea together through a formal structure called the project management board (PMB).
b)Once the PMB has been agreed upon, the authority to start the project can be formalized in a document called a project charter.
c)The PMB should meet to discuss how to implement the project. This top-level plan can be formalized in a project execution plan.
d)The PMB may also agree on external consultants who can be used to do project design or supervise the construction. The sum total of all external agents and experts to be used on the project is called the project control board.
e)The project management board should also agree on the project manager who will manage the project on a day to day basis. The project board can then monitor and evaluate the performance of the project manager and report to the project stakeholders. This forms the project M & E plan.
f)The work the consultants will perform and the procedures they will use should be formalized in the project control procedure.
3.0 The project planning phase
The project planning phase is done by the project management board. The project board has to agree on the following 7 issues:-
•Why do we require a rainwater harvesting system?
•What should the system be able to do?
•How well should the system function?
•Who will be served by the system?
•Where will we source the funds to build and operate the system?
•Which methods will be used to assess the success or failure of the system?
•When will the activities agreed upon be done?
4.0 The project execution phase
The project manager is responsible for ensuring the project is implemented as planned or nearly so. The main issues the project manager looks at are:-
(i)Project time management
(ii)Project human resource management
(iii)Project cost management
iv) Project procurement management
5.0 Project closure phase
5.1 The project communication plan
The various project phases must be brought to a conclusion. Three things must be examined at the end of each phase or stage:
•The achievements of the project are assessed. What was achieved as planned? What was planned, but was never achieved? What was achieved but had not been planned?
•What lessons can be learnt from this project experience?
•How do we intend to use the lessons we learnt in future?
5.2 The project information distribution plan
The lessons learnt are distributed to the identified project stakeholders.
5.3 Project contract closure
The project is then formally closed down.
At lunchtime I went for a walk to explore my new work neighbourhood. I found part of Thorndon with interesting architecture.

Today was an awesome day. I got to hung out with some awesome friends and we started a sewing project!
See, I'm a huge video game nerd, always have been. I never used to admit it because back in the day it was uncool to be a nerd, and yes, I cosplayed.
Since its been ten years since I last made a pleated skirt my friend and I decided that we should do practice skirts before making the actual skirts for our cosplay. If things work out, I'll be doing a cosplay as Yukiko from Persona 4 for PAX East. :)
This is the practice skirt, well, partly done at least, with Yukiko's fan.
