The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".[1]
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol.[2] It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565.
The Basra Compact, a flagship partnership to revive the economy in southern Iraq
Basra, 05 May 2015 – The authorities of Basra and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) today signed a flagship agreement, the Basra Compact, aiming at strengthening participatory and accountable governance and reviving the economic activity in the southern governorate, which is not just oil-rich but needs to invest in its human capacity and private sector development. Protecting the cultural and ecological heritage of the Mesopotamian Marshlands is also a priority.
Despite being the richest governorate and hosting the main port in Iraq, Umm Qasr—the only shipping hub in the country—Basra is one of the most affected by poverty and chronic unemployment with 16.1% of the population living below the poverty line of US$ 2.5 per day and facing staggering challenges in terms of access to services.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Basra authorities outlines future cooperation in the areas of decentralization, financial management and budget execution, environment protection, private sector development including micro, small and medium enterprises, and supporting the governorate’s 5-year strategic planning.
“Working with local partners is a fundamental element of national ownership,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and UNDP Resident Representative, Lise Grande, said. “This translates into UNDP’s support for the local network of the Global Compact promoting responsible business practices in the areas of gender, human rights, labour standards, environment, service delivery and anti-corruption,” she explained.
UNDP has nearly 40 years of experience in Iraq leading the UN’s development work, providing knowledge and practical expertise. In its long-term engagement with the government and the people of Iraq, UNDP focuses on inclusive participation, accountability, access to justice, women’s empowerment, security sector reform, decentralization and private sector development. In particular, UNDP supports the government’s 4-year development plans (2014-2017).

Illustrations from The Planning of a New Town, the GLC publication showing the designs for the unbuilt 60s new town of Hook, Hampshire. The book was first published in 1961 after the project was cancelled, and instead Basingstoke and Andover were extended. As a plan it was most similar to the Scottish new town of Cumbernauld. These are wonky iPhone photos of my copy.

These roses were shot in Hanoi, Vietnam, in natural light at the window of my hotel room. For some of them I used my compact powder mirror to reflect some extra light.
These roses cost between 60 cents and $2 for a big bunch of 40, each bloom perfect and stunning and freshly cut that morning and brought into the city on the back of a bicycle or motorino.
Flowers in Hanoi are very inexpensive because it is the biggest city closest to the flower growing regions in the horth of the country.
Most of the flowers are for export - the ones pictures here are the rejects! That's right.
Maybe the blooms were just a bit too small or too big for type specified by the client.
Maybe the stem was too thick, a bit crooked, or the thorns were extra big.
Maybe there was too much pink or too little, or maybe two blooms doubled up on one stem.
To me, they were perfect, and smelled amazing! I was in Hanoi for three weeks, and my hotel room had big bunches of flowers standing all around. The bouquets were arranged in cut off plastic water bottles. I spent many a happy hour by the window with a makeshift podium in lieu of a tripod, snapping away beauty of a rose after rose after rose...
