Mina Guli is changing the world. Through Mina's work with the World Bank and the World Economic Forum, she came to learn about the planet's unfolding water crisis: by 2030, we face a 40% shortfall in the global supply of accessible, reliable water.
Mina has since dedicated her life to educating leaders and young people alike about this crisis and how we can solve it. In this session at GESF 2019, learn more about Mina's life, work and incredible work as an ultra-endurance runner to raise awareness about our planet's most precious resource. In conversation with Mona Hammami, Senior Director at the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Court.
GP9 77 formerly B&M 1738/1838 has earned its keep after continually providing service for the last 60 years! 77 and 327 are the power for SAPPI3 today as the slug set is down once again. Train is seen at CPF110 exiting the Hinckley Branch.
LNER HST powercar 43299 rests at Edinburgh Waverley after the journey up from London Kings Cross on 1S28.
The HST's are still providing a sterling service up and down the ECML day in day out but the countdown to withdraw is underway with new Azumas steadily taking over.
From left: Maxxum 7000 w/4000AF, Maxxum 7000i w/5200i, Maxxum 7xi w/5400xi and Maxxum 700si w/5400HS and vertical grip. OK, I love these. Some of this stuff I picked up dirt cheap as broken or untested, It all works. The Maxxum flashes are fabulous. I love them. They are powerful, easy to use, reliable. Notice how the Maxxums grew in size over the years, until the one I don't have (and don't want) the Maxxum 7. You will understand why if you read my post about the Maxxum 5. I would have a hard time picking my favorite, but I love the compact 7000, and possibly the 7xi is my favorite out of this series, but I love the 9xi even more, and the 8000i - Oh, how can I pick. They're all fabulous!
This was before Republic and Reliable merged (BTW when they did they kept the Reliable name but went with the "5 R" logo) Now that Reliable is a Republic Services company they buy SSI Schaefer brand carts. Also random fact... This beach is serviced by Best Way Disposal now, this was the only cart from Reliable Disposal on the beach.
The Johnson City Brewery poses as a fantastic photo opportunity as a reflection of old architecture, anchored within the shadow of the Clinchfield main riding over the valley atop Boones Creek Trestle. It's New Years Eve and were positioned down below a little after noon as M652 makes a mad dash from Erwin to Kingsport, led by CSX's rendition of the Old Reliable. The Clinchfield really combat some tough terrain when constructing their railroad, however this middle-ground portion of the line is largely open terrain where crews can throttle up and lay the wheels to the steel. For the remainder of the evening, we let the L&N carry us out of 2025 on the high iron of the CRR.
An edit on a photo I took nearly 20 yrs ago. I wanted to see if I could adjust the light and color to something I liked better. You can see the original here: www.flickr.com/photos/nixmuse/shares/Z985HME69P
The Constellation model-049 combined key virtues of high speed, reliable performance, passenger appeal, and sound operating economics. It was tested by Lockheed and the USAAF during the war and later became commercially available for postwar intercontinental travel.
MRL SD40-2XR #265 and the Winters Special are still at Livingston the following morning, now parked in good light. In times past, I remember when these were leased out to CP for about a year; I remember this one and 261 running the G45/G59 transfers between Bensenville and Clearing way back in 2009. Those were the days, when seeing MRL far beyond Montana was a somewhat possible occurrence.
2012 Concours d'Elegance held in Ault Park in the Mt. Lookout neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. When you have the bucks to own a rare classic car, you think nothing of spending the bucks to have it transported in class. This is what you get for your money.
I don't remember ever seeing a longer or classier rig than this Pete. It looks like it is kept as pristine as the vehicles it transports. WOW! I'd have to say, it is cooler than any NASCAR hauler I've ever seen.

Entlang der rechten Rheinstrecke ist 151 109 am 20.4.2017 mit einem gemischten Güterzug südwärts unterwegs.
Damals noch alltäglich, wenige Jahre später nicht mehr realisierbar!
Die Marksburg im Hintergrund ist die einzige Burg im Mittelrheintal die nie zerstört wurde.

Roling south along the right side line along the Rhein 151 109 has a mixed freight in tow. While in 2017 still a normal sight on freight trains, the class 151 engines rapidly disappeared from DB rosters and were either sold or scrapped...
In background Marksburg castle, the only castle in the valley that never was destroyed.

Passing through Rothesay Bay, Isle of Bute. Tug SD Reliable in attendance. RFA Tidespring is designated a Tide-class fast fleet tanker.
Britain’s naval service finally got its new(ish) fleet support tanker RFA Tidespringmore than 18 months late, following delays which left the vessel languishing in a South Korean shipyard. And with little explanation from the MoD for the controversial build.
RFA Tidespring was formally named at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering’s (DSME’s) Okpo-dong yard on 7 October 2015.Since then, Tidespring basically sat in the same yard doing little more than collect seagull droppings, barring her post-build sea trials.
She finally entered service with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) on 27 November 2017 as the first of a class of four vessels, designed to support the RN's new aircraft carriers, amongst other roles. Essentially a floating petrol station complete with shop, her main duty is supposed to be refuelling Royal Navy and allied ships on the high seas. In addition, she is capable of carrying dry stores and fresh water, along with jet fuel for the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers.
Navy News quoted naval architect Mark Lewis, from the RN’s Future Tanker Project team, as saying: “A Range Rover’s fuel tank connected to all four 7-inch hoses on the starboard side of a Tide tanker would be full in 0.12 seconds. Unfortunately, the fuel would be passing through a standard petrol station’s nozzle at around Mach 2 – and completely destroy your vehicle.” (c.The Register).

Unique in terms of both material and production style, this might be called as Bangla Mattress. A combination of artificial cotton and coconut fiber is used as the filling material. And outer shell is made from thick clothes.
Cheap yet durable,reliable and comfortable. Who wouldn't love such combination?
"Don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're down
In a river of trouble and about to drown
Just hold on, I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin'.."

The Loy Yang Power Station is a brown coal- fired thermal power station located on the outskirts of the city of Traralgon, in south-eastern Victoria, Australia. It consists of two sections, known as Loy Yang A (4 units) and Loy Yang B (2 units). Both Loy Yang A and B are supplied by the Loy Yang brown coal mine. The Loy Yang power stations are located in the brown coal rich Latrobe Valley, along with the Yallourn Power Station.
If Loy Yang A and Loy Yang B are counted together they are the largest power station in Australia, generating 3280 MW of power. Loy Yang A & B are base load power stations, and together produce 50% of Victoria's electricity requirements.
