Once dry and barren, the hillside farms of Taluwa are now green and thriving.
Through training on alternative farming techniques and efficient water use, the DCRL project demonstrated how technical interventions can dismantle gender and caste barriers, fostering equity and leadership opportunities for women and marginalized groups.

One of my first prints in real black-and-white film.
I am absolutely enanamoured with the whole b/w film processing process. It's relaxing and exciting to have to wait to see what I've taken, even though I write everything down and have an idea of what it will look like.
To me it's a lot like when I was kid, waiting for letters from friends, rather than now when I get e-mail instantly.
I don't care who says what about digital vs. film, or whatever. I know that someday I will have a little closet in my house for doing this.

In the 1950s, LeTourneau Inc. developed several overland trains, essentially oversized semi-trailer trucks that could travel over almost any terrain. Their intention was to be able to handle logistics needs without being dependent on local road or rail systems, allowing them to operate in back-country areas. Following a demonstration of the VC-12 Tournatrain, the US Army had three experimental units built with an eye to the requirements of building the remote DEW line, starting with the TC-264 Sno-Buggy.
Impressed with the results of the Sno-Buggy, in late 1954 the Army Transportation Corps asked LeTourneau to combine the features of the Tournatrain and Sno-Buggy into a new vehicle. LeTourneau called the result the YS-1 Army Sno-Train but the Army knew it as the Logistics Cargo Carrier, or LCC-1. The LCC-1 combined the wheels of the Sno-Buggy with the power system of the Tournatrain to produce a 16x16 vehicle with one locomotive and three cars capable of handling a load of 45 tons in total. The control cab was itself articulated into two compartments; a heated driving compartment in front for the crew of three, and a rear section containing the 600-hp diesel engine, generators and fuel tanks. The cab also sported a powered crane on the rear.
In spite of starting the project before the VC-22, the LCC-1 required much more customization, and was not completed until January 1956. After testing at the factory, it was handed over to the Army in March, and continued testing in snow at the TRADCOM proving grounds in Houghton, Michigan. After acceptance, it was sent to Greenland, and then traveled around the north for some time, making its last cargo run in 1962.
The LCC-1 eventually ended up abandoned in a salvage yard right behind Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska. Today, the LCC-1 now has a permanent site at the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Developed in the days before the Internet was fast and widely available (1998-2002), the Ontario Curriculum Unit Planner gathered research-based design, planning, and assessment strategies and promoted the development performance-task based units of study within Ontario schools. Later versions of the planner supported browsing and downloading of completed/edited units, and allowed educators the option of customizing the lessons and units within the Planner interface in response to the needs of their learners. The Planner was developed for the Ontario Ministry of Education.
A repository of units developed using the Planner is available (in PDF format) courtesy of the Faculty of Education, Queen's University at Kingston.
Initially developed as a private estate in the 1840s and opened to the public as a garden in 1859, the Missouri Botanical Garden is a lovely green space located at 4344 Shaw Boulevard. It is also known informally as Shaw's Garden for founder and philanthropist Henry Shaw. Its herbarium, with more than 6.6 million specimens, is the second largest in North America, behind that of the New York Botanical Garden. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1976.
Henry Shaw's house, known as Tower Grove, seen here, was built in Italianate style in 1849.

ECMWF Director-General Florence Rabier (left) and WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas (right).
On the COP28 Finance Day, ECMWF and the Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) hosted high-level representatives to discuss how innovative finance, weather forecasts, and climate action can come together to transform the vision of ‘Early warnings for all’ into a reality.
The event focused on the importance of closing the basic observations gap in developing countries for better forecasts and predictions. Speakers discussed the importance of accurate weather forecasts for protection of life and property and better decisions, including adaptation to climate change.

I haven't developed photos for a while so a voucher for free prints came in handy on the weekend when I had a little time to spare to sort through recent shots. Now to hang a few on the wall!

This former Albertsons (#6388) opened in 1998 as part of the newly developed Westlake Village Marketplace. The store opened with the Awnings interior and had a unique layout more common in Eastern markets such as Texas and Florida Albertsons, with a drop ceiling in the center store and warehouse style ceilings in the perimeter. In the stores early days, it was featured in numerous commercials in the early 2000's, until #1335 in Calabasas was completed in 2002, which after that, Albertsons used that store for commercials. Particularly, a commercial on the Albertsons and Lucky "marriage" used this store.
Despite this store being kept in the 1999 merger with Lucky, as well as it's popular use in commercials in 2015, this store was divested to Haggen after Albertsons merger with Safeway/Vons. Haggen's venture into Southern California was short lived, as the company went under, and Haggen completely exit the market less than a year after accepting the divested stores. This is one of the many stores Smart & Final scooped up. There is signage saying "Yogurt" which is left over from Haggen.
When Smart & Final acquired this store, they walled off some of the space as they did not want the entire large store, and that space was subleased to Dollar Tree, which now occupies that space. This is evident on the right side of the store, where it is clear the store was walled off.
