Continuing our preventive actions in the community, Hummingbird will reforce its presence next week when the favela (shanty) community of Sítio Joaninha receives our outreach programme for the third time during school holidays.
This is an important part of our strategy to involve this community in our proposal to implant a new activity centre in their neighbourhood. Hopefully by the end of this year we will be able to offer the children and young people of Sítio Joaninha daily activities that embrace Arts, Culture, Sport and the Environment. But we need your help.
Our presence in the community will hopefully fire some major social changes urgently needed in this so abandoned community, which still houses many of the families that once worked (slaved) on the regions major rubbish tip that was closed down seven years ago.

Not a particularly good shot, but there was something atmospheric about this member of the crew changing the lights from the red flashing tail marker to a front disc lamp.
Here, preserved London and North Eastern Railway B1 61306 'Mayflower' is seen at London Victoria on the Cathedrals Express from Victoria to Eastleigh.
The LNER B1 Classes were built by the Thompson company between 1942 and 1952 as a mixed traffic equivalent of the highly successful LMS Black 5 and the Great Western Hall Class locomotives. The class made their initial start on the Great Eastern Mainline between London Liverpool Street and Ipswich, Harwich and Norwich, becoming an immediate success and being employed on London - Harwich 'Boat Trains', and the cheap construction costs ultimately resulted in 410 members of the class being built. The locomotive's had a relatively short life span much like many of the later LNER designs, with the final examples being withdrawn between 1961 and 1967 with only two members of the class preserved, including B1 number 61264 and 61306, which was initially never named but later donned the name of 'Mayflower' in preservation after the demise of original name bearer 61379.
61306 was in fact a British Railways built example, emerging from the North British Locomotive Works in 1948 after Nationalisation of the Railways earlier that year, and worked a charmed life in the Hull area throughout the 1950's before being transferred to Bradford in 1967 and withdrawn soon afterwards. The locomotive was immediately bought for preservation at Carnforth, where it was given the name 'Mayflower' and painted into LNER Apple Green, a livery it never wore due to the lateness of its construction. It was then transferred to the Great Central Railway between 1978 and 1989 before going into overhaul until 2006. The locomotive has recently undergone a 2 year overhaul at Washwood Heath in Birmingham and has returned in British Railways Apple Green similar to that worn by 60163 Tornado between 2009 and 2010.
In July I started doing some extra work for the supervisor at my current job, I thought I wanted to learn about operations in a department, to build my resume to be a manager or just a worker bee in the field. I quickly learned that with no experience, I would not be able to match my current salary, and I didn't like it to much. But I needed to finish my degree, being one class away and with all the interruptions in the past.
In August my co-worker had enough, she was done, and applied for a new job. I continued to do operations work in my off time, to make a better decision, if this is my was my future or not: health care admin. I can tell I realized it wasn't. But I worked with my best friend and we had a good time, and with the gym. I just continued to work and not care about moving onto something else.
In September the University I am getting a master's through called me and asked if I plan on perusing a Doctorate Degree, and when I thought about it, NO I wasn't. I wanted to finish this degree and just get another job, I needed this change.
In October, I began interviewing, and again asked about getting a PhD. I thought I would be happy with getting that Master's in Public Health i always wanted. Becoming a University employee I could for very cheap.
In November I was at Drill, and I am ready to get out of the military. I was asked what I see myself doing in the future. I immediatley responded with: I hate my weekends being taken with the Army-with more rank more of my week will be taken. I want a University Job, so I can go back to school for a PhD. Dr. Dobberstein sounds so much better than CPT Dobberstein.
Today, the HR man said sort of the same thing. Dr. Dobberstein does sound pretty neat, must be the Dr D. He also encouraged me to to that in something I become interested.
Today I accepted a position at the School of Public Health. I am hoping to begin a PhD in epidemiology or general public health .
So today and the next few weeks or years things are changing.

Glorious changes in colour and texture at this time of year. The smaller scale in some ways can be as impressive as the landscape views ....
Andreas changing rolls of film.
On our walk round the Ellenbogen, the most northern part of Germany, on the first day of the new year, my mate Andreas just took along his crop camera, a tiny Mamiya 645. Real men are carrying big cameras like a RZ :-)

The newly renovated BC Place Stadium, now with a new cable-supported retractable roof. The roof is the biggest of its kind in the world, with each of the support masts measuring 47 meters tall.
The stadium is home to the Vancouver White Caps FC and BC Lions.
I couldn't help but notice the other day that the new stadium is also much brighter and lively. A new architectural lighting system provides dynamic lighting to events hosted at this venue. In this picture, the stadium is illuminated with colours that are representative of the Vancouver White Caps FC for game day. Rogers Arena truly pales in comparison.

Each night, I throw my change into a growler sitting on my kitchen counter. Today, I wasted over an hour doing what the machine at the bank can do in a couple of minutes, when I really should have been cleaning.
I met this old lady at a department picnic while she was taking care of her cattle. Faces like hers are always so intriguing.

NSU-FIAT's Italian parent company changed its 1100 model line almost every year. The German subsidiary followed this development, resulting in a wide variety of 1100 models. This development was also evident in the Simca Aronde from the 1950s.
This early NSU-FIAT 1100 body is based on the 1950-1958 Fiat 1400 Berline style, which was designed by Dante Giascosa (Roma, 1905-1996).
The story behind NSU-Fiat/Neckar:
Since Fiat S.A. had taken over the NSU Heilbronn production plant in 1929, Fiat had the right to assemble their own Fiat models. They were sold under the brand name NSU-Fiat. This was included into the production rights.
Cars that were produced in Heilbronn were current Fiat models, but only presented shortly after the Italian originals.
Since NSU decided to produce cars again under their own brand name, starting with the 1958 NSU Prinz, a legal problem arose. So Fiat Germany AG decided in 1966 to sell their cars under a new created brand name, which became Neckar.
Low production numbers forced Fiat AG to decide to stop assembling cars in Heilbronn, and by the end of 1969 the brand name Neckar disappeared from the market. From then only imported Fiat models were sold in Germany (and elsewhere).

Yep, the weather was definitely making a change here in North Wales... for the worse! :-( I thought that, since the barometer was a retirement present given to my great grandfather (yes, it's THAT old!), it would be appropriate to age it to the same era.
