"ROLAND ALMOST BREAKS HIS OWN BACK REACHING FOR A FISH IN THE BERLIN ZOO
Taught to do tricks to earn his food, this 4,500-pound sea elephant, some 15 feet in length, ate from 50 to 100 pounds of fish a day. He displayed much intelligence and became attached to his keeper."

It is very common for Victoria bound trains to run wrong line up to this point and switch to the left hand running line here.By doing this trains avoid the junction which would require the crossing of the Charring Cross lines.

And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything?
And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?

*HUNDREDS JOINS “MOVING PLANET “CLIMATE ACTION IN ROSARIO, CAVITE,
PHILIPPINES
*
Amidst signs of an early morning downpour, around 500 people from all walks
of life still converged in-front of the Municipal Hall of Rosario, Cavite to
join the 2011 Moving Planet climate action.
Municipal and barangay government officials and personnel together with
various schools and civic organizations went to the streets on foot and on
their bikes to show their solidarity to the global call to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions to 350 parts per million (ppm) to mitigate the impacts of
global warming and climate change.
Before reaching La Isla Bonita de Salinas beach where the Moving Planet and
350 human formation will be conducted, the participants walked and bike for
about 2 kilometers carrying paper windmills, 350 banners, and climate
posters while others shouted some chants about climate change.
Upon reaching the beach, a wave of people in different colors signifies that
climate action is everyone’s moral responsibility and concern regardless of
creed, religion and social status.
Michael Giongco, head of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Office (MDRRMO) of Rosario, in his speech, asserts that everyone
just walked and used their bikes in going to the beach as a manifestation of
the simple action to reduce everyone’s carbon footprint. He added that the
Municipality of Rosario, together with the rest of the world supports the
global call to reduce GhG to 350ppm to mitigate climate change. He also
hopes that the said event will be start of a long term commitment of
everyone to act on climate change.
Mayor Jose Ricrafente, in his solidarity message congratulates the people of
Rosario for the successful Moving Planet event. He said that climate action
also means putting significance in protecting the environment which is of
vital importance to the survival of the people of Rosario. He shared that
the very beach where the Moving Planet and 350 human formation was held is a
living testimony of the commitment of his leadership in environmental
protection. He further shared that the local government unit has poured a
lot of effort to put an end to illegal fishing activities in the coastal
areas of Rosario.
The 2011 Moving Planet was then read by Ms. Janah Araracap, SK Chair of
Barangay Silangan 1. She expressed that climate change is bringing permanent
changes to our lives that the immediate effects that worsen natural hazard
events must be managed with proper preparedness and response. She added that
the more permanent changes require more massive actions, not just from
government, but from all sectors in society; including all of us. The
declaration also appeals to the people of Rosario and the world to change
“lifestyle” as a simple solution to mitigate climate change. Ms. Araracap
mentioned simple actions such as change of consumerist lifestyle, reduction
or zero use of plastics, promote the practice of walking and biking as mode
of transportation, switch off and unplug of electrical devices, and others.
She also highlights that the people of Rosario supports the current
Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) and Climate Change
Adaptation project that is being implemented in Rosario, Cavite that is
spearheaded by the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR)
and funded by the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR). Finally, the
declaration emphasized on the basic rights of the people to a healthy
environment and free from disasters brought about by climate change.
The finale of the event was the 350 human formation wherein Mark Cervantes
of IIRR gave a quick background on the significance of 350 number in climate
change issue.
The Moving Planet 2011 event in Rosario was participated by the following
organization, schools and individual: Municipal Local Government of Rosario,
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Cavite State
University, Sapa National High School, Bagbag National High School, Bayan
Muna, Nagkakaisang Kabataan sa Rosario, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary
Divers, Seaborne, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire, Rosario Radio
Group, Barangay Health Workers, Rosario Bikers Association, Lingkod Bayan,

Staff and family members of IIRR and volunteers of the United Committee On
Relief (UMCOR) also joined the event wherein UMCOR provided free brewed
coffee to the participants.

Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

Climate Corporate Governance for Financial Institutions - Building resilience to climate change risk
During the past decade, with extreme weather causing hundreds of USD billions of
losses per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful
practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the
main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.
Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations
and guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks to help integrate
sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are
developing new ways to anticipate how climate-related risks could impact businesses
and financial institutions.
But is this enough?
To assess whether the financial sector is adequately equipped, the EBRD is brought
together representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience
of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate-related risk management.
The event discuseed ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response
via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk
management, climate-related capital market products.

Reading Buses revised its Caversham routes from Monday 19th February, in order to put them on a more secure financial footing.
The 23 and 24 have been re-combined to form circular services, with anticlockwise journeys numbered 23 and clockwise journeys 24 - therefore pink Scania OmniCity 1105, seen arriving at Reading Station North Interchange on the first day of the new arrangements, will have travelled outward via Lower Caversham Caversham Park and inbound via Emmer Green and Caversham Centre.
The pink OmniCitys used on the 23 and 24 will disappear from the fleet soon, and will be replaced by refurbished ADL Enviro400s recently displaced from route 17, which will be painted in a new pink-purple two-tone colour scheme to be branded as "berry". Indeed 1102 and 1103 have already been sold to Midland Classic of Burton-on-Trent, who operated one of they type on loan last year; and they entered service still in their pink livery.
To be honest, if my own hair was long and full enough I would style it myself in a feminine manner. But it's not, so I must rely on the alternative. At least I have the option of changing the color/length/style on nothing more than a whim :)
A column gear change and a bench front seat were a special order option on both the Ford Cortina Mk1 and Mk2.
The photo is of a Cortina Mk1.
I once owned a 1967 Cortina Mk2 with this set up for a while which included an umbrella style handbrake lever to the left of the steering column. I liked it, but in general it was a bit old fashioned by the later 1960's.
