The scaled quail (Callipepla squamata) habits the low lands of the sierra Maderas del Carmen. Most of the year, this species is seen in groups of several individuals, except during the breeding season when it is observed in family groups where a male and a female take care of the offspring.

Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.

Using your helmet bag as a great surface to work from. Cosmetic brush is great for making sure the dust stays away. make sure to work in as dust free an area as you can. Nitrile gloves are handy to grip the helmet and avoid fingerprints.

When I first got this model, I did not pay attention to the badge on the sail panel because I assumed it is a Signature Limited L. Out of curiosity, I actually zoomed right in and it definitely says Continental Edition not Signature Limited. The chromed B pillar also bothered me on this model because I thought it was just an inaccuracy that the manufacturer made. It turns out it is not! it is actual on a real car. Basically the last 2010-2011 Lincoln Town Car can also be ordered in a trim level ''Continental Edition'' with that badging, and it comes in chromed b pillar. Although this is definitely a long wheelbase model. But I think that the Continental Edition was not available as a long wheelbase.
Anyway this is one of my favourite models. I have been babying this ever since I got it. Although it is not cheap! but I could not pass it up because it is one of my favorite cars. I am planning to get both white and champagne/gold versions if I have enough money.. or another black one. I hope someone makes a 1998-2002 Version unstretched in this scale along with the 2000-2011 Cadillac Deville/DTS.. it will make such a great pair.
Earliest 18th c at bottom is the highest quality based upon its featuring 8 sets of scales, accuracy, attention to detail, and embellishment of its engraving. The small numerals of the center example are deeply stamped, while the topmost, late century example is very similar to the size, format, and conventions of the mass-produced scales of the 19th c.

" I live in Cha Kwo Ling. I am getting older. I love being here. I have a lot
of friends, my neighbours look after me, we have shops and restaurants. My parents were born here so I came back to our home. It is very safe here, our doors are always open. Long time ago, we had fishermen, people working in the stone quarry, and later in the oil industry on the docks. All of this is gone now. We have a recycling centre, waste materials everywhere, trucks come and go all day long, it is a good business but some people are complaining about the noise and the dirt ; I don’t mind. I take the minibus everyday in and out. When there is heavy rain, some roofs are leaking. We have mosquitoes, rats running around at night, sometimes even snakes, but we are used to it. We love it here. I don’t have much hope for Cha Kwo ling, I live day by day, trying to live a happy life. We are proud of our beautiful temple and festivals that attract people from all around."

== Brief ==
SUGAR is delicious. And Hong Kong exemplifies our global society’s addiction to the sweet life. Life in Hong Kong is fast-paced, convenient, delicious and glittery. In Hong Kong, you will find people shopping in both luxury goods stores and fast fashion giants, dining in Michelin-starred restaurants, traveling via one of the best public transportation systems in the world and living in beautiful homes in the sky.
As with the gaping cavities that result from over-consumption of sugar, Hong Kong also suffers negative consequences of its sugar addiction. The pursuit of the good life has led society to wilfully turn a blind eye to the cost and consequence of its consumption. Hong Kong is paying the toll of its addiction. Overflowing landfills, polluted air and waterways, hungry children and homeless seniors are the untold parts of Hong Kong’s story. The city that hosts the highest density of millionaires is also the home of caged home dwellers.
The concentration of wealth and power have reached such extent that the whole city landscape manifests how decisions are taken: top down. Big scale investments shape the urban life. The way of financing, the use of resources and targeted clientele for the majority of projects are decided based on the expected revenue. The lack of responsible involvement and intervention is not only an emerging factor in architectural profession. Hong Kong young generation see themselves with little perspective due to unaffordable property prices and question the inequality in the city's population. The aesthetic of the city is for most “business-friendly”, which really is sterile, technocentric, vacant of any form of spontaneity and life.
How can city dwellers move away from pure consumption and reclaim an active advocacy? How can the future population of Hong Kong deal more responsibly with the offer of sugar? Can life come back in the constructed environment? How can we break away from sugar addiction and build together a sustainable city?
