Temporary classrooms as the school is being renovated. The placement over a sports field with lines created an illusion of
a designated separation. This view resonated with me; the line in the middle strongly resembled DMZ (www.flickr.com/photos/hanuska/6027547570).
To Support Displaced Youth from Fallujah
Inauguration of Temporary Premises of Fallujah University (Dorms and Classrooms)
in Abu Ghraib, Baghdad
On 23 June 2016, the temporary premises of Fallujah University, located inside the Veterinary College, Baghdad University in Abu Ghraib, were inaugurated. With the generous contribution from the Government of Japan, the temporary premises of Fallujah University were established by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) providing 25 classrooms and 128 residential units that can accommodate 512 students, in addition to basic site infrastructure and an administration building. The project aimed at supporting displaced youth who bear enormous and long-lasting human, social and economic costs.
His Excellency Mr. Sohaib Al-Rawi, Governor of Anbar, who attended the event, commented that while the Anbar Governorate has been supporting institutions displaced by violence outside and within Anbar, including Fallujah University, the ongoing financial crisis has affected all aspects of people’s lives and limited the government’s capacity to support. The Governor acknowledged the efforts of UN agencies and the ongoing support of UN-Habitat on housing self-repair and shelter projects within Ramadi. He expressed his gratitude to all those who stand with people of Iraq, and specifically of Fallujah, in the midst of the hardship they face.
On UN-Habitat’s side, Dr. Erfan Ali, Head of Iraq Programme, pointed out that lack of access to education among youth is one of the key factors that fuel a cycle of poverty, hopelessness and frustration. He expressed his hope that these new premises of Fallujah University will enable young women and men from Fallujah to continue their education and play an active role as agents of positive and constructive change.
Mr. Hirofumi Miyake, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim, Embassy of Japan in Iraq, stated that Japan also has its own internally displaced persons, resulting from disasters of tsunamis, earthquakes, debris, and the latest nuclear accident, and therefore the people of Japan understand very well the importance of support to displaced persons in Iraq. He further emphasized that Japan will continue to sustain the efforts of UN-Habitat to improve the living conditions of the displaced persons in Iraq.
Dr. Ibraheem Abdulkareem, Deputy President of Fallujah University, stated that the completion of the new premises of Fallujah University has provided a glimpse of hope in the heart of displaced students, and he recognized that the inauguration is concomitant to the liberation of Fallujah.
On his part, Mr. Sattar Nawroz Khan, General Director of Migration at the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, praised the joint cooperation and partnership between multiple actors, including the Governments of Iraq and Japan, Anbar Governorate, Fallujah University, and UN-Habitat, that enabled the positive results of the overall project.
This project was implemented within the framework of larger programme titled “Humanitarian Support to Internally Displaced Persons in Iraq through Provision of Durable Shelter,” funded by the Government of Japan, aiming to improve the living conditions of internally displaced persons in Iraq through the provision of prefabricated durable shelters, and thereby to support and strengthen their self reliance.

Landslip on West Coast Railway Line
The landslip is a couple of miles to the north of Leighton Buzzard and is at a location where Network Rail have got a lot of work to do just to get at the site. This afternoon their contractor Murphy was busy building a temporary roadway.
The land to the east side of the railway has slipped away leaving the London bound line (Up Slow) unsafe to use meaning that all Up trains have to use the Fast line.

Simon loves temporary tattoos. I usually help him put the tattoos on his arm or hand. Yesterday he asked me if he could do it himself. So I watched as he carefully applied one to his hand.
Today when I picked him up from his grandparent's house, this is how he looked.
Once he got the hang of giving himself face tattoos, he moved on to his brother.

Grand Palaestra, Pompeii
Found on the grounds of the grand palaestra, or exercise grounds, in the eastern part of Pompeii, this cast is also known as the "muleteer" for the mule or donkey that was found nearby. Through the casting process, we know that this man crouched low to the ground and pulled his cloak over his mouth to shield himself from the vapors of Vesuvius.
This is a part of Entergy of Mississippi's project to replace the old wooden poles on this line with taller ones as well as installing a second set of triple-phase electrical power lines or a second circuit as the crew calls it, delivering more electrical power to the ever growing Rex Lumber Company Mill which was drawing way more power than the current grid could handle and with a newer transformer installed over at the nearby Brookhaven Substation, the Rex Lumber Company Mill can operate more efficiently without putting too much strain on the rest of the system.
This project is being done by a subcontractor called Shelton Energy Solutions... a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is based in Alexandria, Louisiana.
I am pratically ruined this year.
The serie n°5 of zelfs will make such near to my tastes and personality zelfs.
Swans and roses (of all) are 2 of my most favorite life things.
The white cat one and the princess fairy (I presume) are a must have too.
Plus, I loved Mouscedes from MH from the start.
Duchess (ice) will be a doll for a "custom reroot" (and probably some retouch of face details) of a blonde , TRUE (and good) daughter of Swan princess.
*sigh* Hope to will find all
**August 2015: update. All find except Duchess swan. I hope to find her soon for my reroot project.
One day this will be the computer lab, but for now we're storing books here and if you wind your way around, you can find the checkout desk, too!
Excavations have had to be made on the ground floor to provide a strong, solid surface for building temporary bracing to the upper floors.

Shrewsbury Abbey station opened on 13 August 1866 as the temporary end of the Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway (always known locally as 'The Potts'). It was built on part of a monastery that had been destroyed during the Reformation. In 1876 a railway carriage and wagon building works of the Midland Wagon Company operated next to the station. It closed in 1912.
When the station became the permanent terminus after financial difficulties caused the abandonment of the planned extension to Market Drayton, it struggled to make money. On 22 June 1880 Shrewsbury Abbey closed for the first time when the railway could no longer continue services; a rare example of a railway closure in Britain in the 19th century.
Several attempts were made to reopen the railway and in the 1890/91 a start was made on remodelling the station before financial problems again caused work to cease. The station was finally reopened on 13 April 1911 with a rebuilt line now known as the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway. It finally closed to all passengers (except specials) on 6 November 1933.
Scrobbesbyrig to the Saxons, the county town of Shropshire is first mentioned in a charter of 901. Shrewsbury is stunning historic town with over 660 listed buildings and some very strange street names - Dogpole and Mardol, Gullet Passage and Grope Lane.
According to the Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman, "It takes a little exploration on foot to reveal the delights of this medieval town."
