Kavalcare Solar System for Jhpiego Mid-Wife Clinic Dec8, 2014
Every year, 12,000 women in Pakistan die of birth complications. The Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Services Component, implemented by MCHIP/Jhpiego, aims at preventing maternal, newborn, and child deaths by ensuring skilled birth attendance (SBA) through a total market approach, empowered community, timely referral of obstetric and neonatal complications to an emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) facility, and improved access to child care.
Lack of electricity in remote areas is a major issue that often leads to obstetric complications and newborn deaths. Refrigerated storage is vital for the effectiveness of life saving drugs and vaccines. Ice boxes are used in remot areas of this purpose but it is an ineffective method especially when easy availability of ice is a problem. To overcome these issues, Lodhie Foundation in association with Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program/JHPIEGO, extended its Kavalcare program and provided a Solar Powered System to a remote clinic located at village Haji Usman Jhakro near Makli, District Thatta. System provides sufficient power to operate a small refrigerator, a fan and 3 lamps 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It was designed, manufactured and installed by Shaan Technologies private Limited Karachi. After installation of Solar System in August 2014, this small remote clinic is serving a community of 10,000 plus persons who lives in village Haji Usman and surrounding areas. On an average 10 patients visits this clinic each day. Clinic also provides up to 15 birth attendance and new born care in a month.

The old Dryad awaiting tender blossoms... year by year
Pewter is my newest obsession :-)
All my jewelry is authorial, hand made - home moulded...
Since this material is quite heavy and massive,this brooch accords better with handbag, coat or jacket than with a soft blouse...
The jewel is patinated and all-resin-coated to protect patina from abrasion.
ProStructures CONNECT Edition’s functional components enable you to easily create reinforced components like parametric bridge pier and foundation.

My mother and I are collaborating on a new venture. She crochets these small bags from 100% cotton thread. The range in size from small (cell phone holders) to medium (cosmetic/jewelry cases) to large (E-Reader holders).
She chooses the colors and I create polymer buttons to match. This is the large, big enough for a Kindle or Nook.
Bought over 30 years ago. Used heavily regularly and still works. The remote control is probably now worth more than the actual machine.
Kootenay National Park is a national park located in southeastern British Columbia, and is one component of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. The park consists of 1,406 km2 (543 sq mi) of the Canadian Rockies, including parts of the Kootenay and Park mountain ranges, the Kootenay River and the entirety of the Vermilion River. While the Vermillion River is completely contained within the park, the Kootenay River has its headwaters just outside the park boundary, flowing through the park into the Rocky Mountain Trench, eventually joining the Columbia River. It ranges in elevation from 918 m (3,012 ft) at the southwestern park entrance, to 3,424 m (11,234 ft) at Deltaform Mountain. Initially called "Kootenay Dominion Park", the park was created in 1920 as part of an agreement between the province of British Columbia and the Canadian federal government to build a highway in exchange for title to a strip of land, approximately 8 km (5.0 mi) on either side of the 94 km route, the Banff-Windermere Highway, to be used solely for park purposes. While the park is open all year, the major tourist season lasts from June to September. Most campgrounds are open from early May to late September, while limited winter camping is available only at the Dolly Varden campground.
The Kootenay National Park is one of seven contiguous parks that form the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. The Continental Divide is the boundary between the Kootenay and Banff National Park boundary, as well as the BC-Alberta provincial border. To the northwest, the watershed boundary between the Vermillion River and the Kicking Horse River is the park boundary between the Kootenay and Yoho National Park. The Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park also borders the Kootenay National Park. Jasper National Park, Mount Robson Provincial Park and Hamber Provincial Park make up the remainder of the World Heritage Site but do not share a boundary with Kootenay National Park.
L’esposizione fotografica Blu Selvaggio è il racconto per immagini del “Giro dei Tre Colli”, un percorso a piedi all’interno del Parco Naturale dell’Everest, in Himalaya. Oltre alla Guida Alpina Internazionale Fabio Iacchini, questo trekking ha coinvolto altri cinque componenti ed un gruppo di alcuni portatori.
Il “Giro dei Tre Colli” affronta tre colli sopra i 5000 mt e ciò permette di godere della vista di 4 vette sopra gli 8000 mt da diverse prospettive: Everest (8848 mt), Cho Oyu (8201 mt) (foto n°6), Lhotse (8516 mt) e Makalu (8841 mt). Personalmente ho portato con me in Nepal due macchine fotografiche: una reflex digitale (Canon D60) e una reflex analogica di grande formato (Hasselblad 500 C/M), con le quali ho cercato di restituire le sensazioni, le forme ed i colori che questi valli meravigliose regalano a chi ha la fortuna di percorrerle.
Siamo partiti dalla caotica Katmandu (1440 mt) alla volta del villaggio di Lukla (2860 mt) con un piccolo aereo e da Lukla abbiamo iniziato il cammino all’interno della valle dell’Everest.
In due giorni abbiamo raggiunto Namche Bazar (3450 mt) per proseguire nella valle di Thame (3829 mt) lungo il sentiero che da millenni collega il Nepal al Tibet attraverso il valico del Nangpa La (5806 mt) (foto n°13). Passata Lundge (4400 mt) abbiamo valicato il primo dei tre colli Renjo La (5340 mt) (foto n°32, 33) per ridiscendere fino al villaggio di Gokyo (4793 mt).
Il giorno seguente abbiamo raggiunto la cima che sovrasta Gokyo, Gokyo Ri (5357 mt), (foto n°18, 31, 34) dalla quale ammirare tre maestosi ottomila con un unico sguardo: Everest (8848 mt), Lhotse (8516 mt) e Cho Oyu (8201 mt).
Passata Dragnac (4700 mt) (foto n°14) e superato il secondo colle, Cho La (5330 mt) (foto n°8, 21, 25, 26), ci siamo diretti al villaggio estivo di Lobuche (4930 mt) (foto n°9, 29) per compiere la salita del Kalapatar Ri (5643 mt) (foto n°11, 24, 28) con relativa e spettacolare visione di Everest e Nupse (7861 mt) e rientrare a Lobuche (foto n°15, 16).
Il terzo colle, Kongma La (5335 mt) (foto n°10, 12, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 27, 30) ci ha permesso la visione della grandiosa parete sud del Lhotse prima dell’arrivo prima a Chukhung (4750 mt) e poi al campo base (5150 mt) (foto n°1, 2, 3, 4, 5,7) dell’Island Peak (6189 mt).
Durante il rientro siamo passati dal monastero di Tengboche (3800 mt) prima di raggiungere nuovamente prima Namche, poi Lukla e infine Katmandu.
Durante il percorso il mio set di ottiche per la reflex digitale Canon D60 si è ridotto ad un teleobbiettivo di grande qualità (EF 70-200 mm, f/4L IS USM), apparentemente poco adatto a spazi così immensi, a cui ho alternato le straordinarie qualità ottiche dell’obbiettivo Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 applicato al corpo analogico Hasselblad 500 C/M.
La fotografie sono state stampate su carta fotografica glossy in ambiente Fine Art e in seguito montate su pannelli Leget MDF 2cm presso Colore 2, fotolaboratorio digitale professionale di Milano.
Il risultato si riassume oggi in Blu Selvaggio; con il titolo dell’esposizione ho voluto dare risonanza al colore del cielo himalayano in quanto creatore di luci e contrasti quasi violenti e nel contempo veicolo di pace e armonia per chi lo contempla.

NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 61 –
Building 61 (Drg No. 1245/53) is a Non-Nuclear Component Stores with attached concrete gantry on four columns projecting over the road to the front (west). Reasons for Designation Building 61 is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
▪︎RARITY – A rare building on a unique site designed to accommodate and service Britain's first nuclear weapon, the ''Blue Danube''. It is the only such surviving facility in the country.
▪︎HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION – The building has outstanding national and international interest for its historical associations with the development of the earliest British nuclear weapons technology during the Cold War, which helped shape Britain's post-war history.
▪︎GROUP VALUE – The building has strong group value with other buildings at RAF Barnham, and was part of the national deployment of nuclear weapons.
▪︎INTACTNESS – Building 61 is largely intact.
Non-nuclear component stores buildings 60 and 61, held the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The central section of the casing held the high explosive lenses assembled into a large ball with forward sections containing electronics and radars. Owing to the weight and size of ''Blue Danube'', the gantry at the entrance was required to manoeuvre the bomb onto a trolley for storage. Building 61 is currently used as small work units and has blockwork partitioning which is reversible.
▪︎MATERIALS – A reinforced concrete frame and blockwork walls, and a flat concrete roof. ▪︎PLAN – Rectangular, aligned approximately east-west.
▪︎EXTERIOR – Building 61 is surrounded by substantial earth bunds. It has a central recessed entrance flanked by two projecting two storey, flat roofed plant and switch rooms which originally contained plant to maintain a stable environment. The original steel doors remain. The rear elevation has a central door and there are crittall windows to the rear and sides.
▪︎INTERIOR – Originally sub-divided internally into compartments of 11ft x 3ft bays allowing the storage of up to 66 bombs, Building 61 has been partitioned internally to create smaller work units.
Although the site was in use for storage of Mustard Gas and explosives during World War II, it was not until after the end of hostilities that the depot was constructed in its current form. In the early 1950's, the Air Ministry had a continuing need for high explosive bombs and storage facilities for them and was looking ahead to a ''future war in which atomic and thermo-nuclear weapons would be used by both sides''. It is within this historic context that the Special Storage Unit at RAF Barnham was constructed following the issuing of ''Blue Danube'', Britain's first nuclear bomb, to the RAF in November 1953.
The bombs were held in clutches in V-bomber airfields such as RAF Scampton and RAF Wittering and the purpose of the store at RAF Barnham, and the almost identical site at RAF Faldingwoth in Lincolnshire, was to provide maintenance and refurbishment to support the airfields and hold spare warheads. The Air Ministry plan for the Store is dated May 1953, although planning for the facility almost certainly had started before this, and it was fully operational by July 1954. In the first phase of works, the fences, earthworks, fissile core storage hutches, inspection buildings and gantries were built by August 1955.
The small arms and pyrotechnics store, barrack accommodation, gymnasium, telephone exchange, meat preparation store and dog compound were erected shortly after to strengthen security. By mid 1955 the double fence was in place, later augmented by the current observation towers erected in early 1959 replacing smaller structures. The Special Storage Unit remained the main holding place for the Mk. 1 Atomic Bomb, under control of Bomber Command until November 1956 when an independent Unit (95 Commanding Maintenance Unit) was formed. During the operational life of the site, second and third generation British nuclear weapons such as ''Red Beard'' and ''Yellow Sun'' were introduced on the site.
By 1962, the site was in decline and the maintenance unit ceased to exist on 31st July 1963. The closure of the station is probably linked to the operational deployment of ''Blue Steel'' from late 1962. The site was sold to the current owners in 1966 and let out for light industrial use. Some of the buildings have been altered and most significantly, one of the non-nuclear stores burnt down in the 1980’s, but there has been an on-going maintenance and repair programme agreed with English Heritage resulting in the preservation of the site.
