In areas where large wood drifting downstream would pose safety/liability issues (e.g. culvert blockage) , it must be secured either by embedding it into the bank (3-4 m minimum) or by cabling it securely.
Shot on 200mm at 1/60 using a tripod as a monopod. Less than two weeks from now, BasL and I will be the photographers at a mutual friend's wedding, the ceremony of which will be in a very small church where there's not enough room for both people and light. Happy with the sharpness of this shot. Gives confidence.

Advancing women’s empowerment contributes to national stability, says DSRSG Walpole at International Women’s Day celebration
Baghdad, 07 March 2019 – International Women’s Day was celebrated today at an event organized by the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women at the Council of Ministers.
The event, which was supported by UN Women and the International Medical Corps, was attended by senior Iraqi government officials, including the two Deputy Speakers of the Council of Representatives, human rights activists, civil society representatives, the international community and many others.
Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) Alice Walpole addressed the meeting, along with Dr. Mahdi Al-Allaq, Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, who represented the Prime Minister; Dr. Thikra Alwash, Mayor of Baghdad and Chair of the Standing Committee on the Advancement of Women; UN Women’s Representative, Ms. Dina Zorba and UNFPA Representative, Dr. Oluremi Sogunro; as well as the Director-General of the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women, Dr. Ibtisam Aziz.
In her remarks, DSRSG Walpole welcomed the upcoming discussions in Parliament on updating the Anti-Domestic Violence Law. “We need to acknowledge that domestic violence diminishes and shames all of society; it is a threat not just to women but to society itself,” she emphasised.
Reflecting on the challenges facing displaced women across Iraq, DSRSG Walpole noted that “They continue to suffer the brutal consequences of the recent conflict”.
“Female-headed households should be prioritised in accessing public services,” she said, and called on the Ministries of Defence and Interior, and the National Operations Command, to “to ensure that secure clearance mechanisms are coordinated among security actors to minimize re-screening of individuals already screened; and to consider removing security clearance requirements for civilians who have not been charged with a criminal or terrorism-related offence, so they do not face obstacles in accessing public services, including civil registries and courts”.
DSRSG Walpole also noted the high unemployment rate amongst young women, which is double that of men. She called on the government to “offer small business grants to female entrepreneurs to help them into the business arena, in particular to women returnees in the liberated areas, and those heading households”.
“Advancing women’s economic empowerment in this way will contribute to the government’s efforts to achieve national stability,” she noted.

July 22, 2020. Lynn, MA.
Residents and community groups from Lynn gathered in front of Lynn City Hall to demand the state government enact legislation to protect against an expected wave of evictions and foreclosures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With Governor Baker’s temporary extension of the Massachusetts eviction and foreclosure moratorium, a wave of tens of thousands of evictions is now expected when the measure expires in the fall during what could be a second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic.
The rally focussed on the need to pass HD.5166 / S.2831, An Act to Guarantee Housing Stability during the COVID-19 Emergency & Recovery. The legislative session is expected to end July 31 and over 200 community, labor, and religious organizations have signed a letter to House Speaker Robert DeLeo, Senate President Karen Spilka, and Governor Charlie Baker urging them to pass the bill immediately.
Speakers at the Lynn event will also address the connection between housing policy and systemic racism, and the need for action at the local level to address the underlying crisis of housing unaffordability, eviction, and displacement.

Climate change in Southeast Asia has been becoming a threat to agricultural production, food security, ecological stability, and sustainable development. Realizing the ongoing climate change issues, ASEAN Member States (AMS) together with international and national research agencies, and the private sector further continue working hand-in-hand to promote Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices to increase the resilience of the agriculture sector to the changing climate. From this background, the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN) Workshop on Promoting CSA Practices was held from 27-28 October 2015 at the Sheraton Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The two-day workshop served as way forward to promote the prioritized best CSA practices among AMS.
The workshop is led by the Thailand Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) through its Department of Agriculture (DOA) in its capacity as the current chair of the ASEAN-CRN, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) of Vietnam as host. The German-ASEAN Programme on Response to Climate Change (GAP-CC) – implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat, provided support for this event, along with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

Every time I see a new patient for low back pain (which is often, being a chiropractor and all), I always ask them what they are doing for core stability exercises. When they inevitably show me exercises such as Supermans or sit-ups, flattening their backs and sucking in their abs to try and activate their TRANVERSE ABDOMINIS (which is a near impossibility and a total myth), I know there is a lot of work to do. I first regretfully inform them that despite their best efforts, what they are doing is probably making their problem worse and putting themselves in a more unstable position.

Description: Microfiche is a type of microform, and consists of a piece of transparent film storing printed information in miniaturized form and read by a special microfiche reader that magnifies the image. It was invented by Carl O. Carlson, an employee of the National Cash Register, in 1961. The standard size is about 4 by 5.8 inches, the same as ISO A6, and carries several micro images, for example of pages from periodicals. They can be stored in open-top envelopes which are put in drawers or boxes as file cards, or fitted into pockets in purpose-made books. Images for use on microfiche can be created by a specialist camera or can be output from a mainframe computer (for example, to print a library catalogue) which is known as Computer Output Microfiche (COM).

Perspectives on Global Economic Developments: Achieving Growth with Financial Stability
80
My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I wanna hurt myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall
Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
Cause no one wants to hear a drunken fool.
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall
I do not mind if this goes on
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit that I en joy myself
80 please keep taking me away
away
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall
