I added a small scenic board alongside the narrow (one foot) hill baseboard. A block of four large terraced houses (the Kingsway TERBF kit) just fits on this. It acts as a background for photos taken at Trinity Square terminus and also as a 'blocker' in order to suggest new vistas.
This view shows the front of the houses on the right, with Trinity Square in the background.
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- U.S. Army research and development centers are collaborating to design new ammunition packaging that could yield significant cost savings and improve battlefield capability, officials said.
Two organizations within the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command -- the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center and Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center -- are developing a packaging system for 5.56-millimeter ammunition as an alternative to fabric bandoleers.
The new system is being developed for the Project Director Joint Services in support of the Program Manager for Maneuver Ammunition Systems. It could save considerable cost by using lightweight and inexpensive plastic packaging materials with a design that will allow for automated packing at the ammunition manufacturing plant, said Dan Klein, an engineer with ARDEC’s Packaging Division who serves as the program lead.

Slobozia Mare, Moldova
Ecaterina Chiciuc, 60, has been carrying water to her house from a well in her neighbourhood since she got married at 20.
In Slobozia Mare, residents and migrants abroad gradually joined forces to form a Home Town Association, now an officially registered NGO. Over 200,000 people from 5 cities and 18 villages in Moldova have benefited from the Migration and Local Development project, implemented by UNDP in Moldova with funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The project aims to improve local infrastructure and living conditions. It brings together residents and migrants of villages to prioritize the main issues facing their communities, and helps connect them to municipalities and international donors to help them solve the issues. Nearly US$800,000 has been invested so far. Out of this amount, approximately $118,000 represent crowdfunding efforts by Moldovan migrants living abroad. Another $214,000 were provided by local authorities and $460,000 by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

KABUL, 09 July 2017 - Afghan Government leaders, diplomats and representatives of international organizations, civil society and the private sector met today at a session of the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (JCMB) to discuss progress and challenges in implementing the Afghanistan National Peace and Development Framework (ANPDF).
Co-chaired by Finance Minister Eklil Hakimi and the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan, Tadamichi Yamamoto, the meeting addressed topics ranging from anti-corruption and justice reform to infrastructure development, services delivery and job creation.
In his opening remarks, President Ghani said: “The majority of Afghan citizens have said multiple times that they want a state that can protect their constitutional rights and provide the ordinary Afghan with justice. Corruption, bad governance, impunity, and reactive politics, however, are fundamental obstacles to achieving the type of state that the citizens desire. Reform is not an option, it is an imperative. Without comprehensive reform, we will both lose the patience of our citizens, and the support of our international partners. For reform to be meaningful, it cannot be driven by one person, or one office. It must be nationally owned.” President Ghani also called for the end to ethnic polarization and pledged to present an action plan on preparation for 2019 presidential election within 3 weeks.
The upcoming major conference - the Senior Officials Meeting scheduled for October 2017 in Kabul - follows last year’s Brussels Conference, at which new development assistance pledges through 2020 were made, following the London Conference held in 2014 and the last Senior Officials Meeting held in Kabul in 2015.
Minister Hakimi, echoing the President, said that the theme of the meeting is Towards Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) 2017. “Nine months ago, we met in Brussels to re-affirm our mutual commitment to the future of Afghanistan. There, we presented our plan to make our vision for a new Afghanistan a reality. Today, we intend to show you what progress has been made on the implementation of the Afghanistan Peace and Development Framework and show you that our commitment to achieving self-reliance is as strong today as it was in Brussels last year; and in London before that.”
Noting that the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan set out a new development and reform agenda, UN envoy Yamamoto recognised the Government has achieved important, complicated, and challenging reforms. “Those achievements deserve recognition, both within and outside this room. The Afghan people need to hear what is working. They should know that for all of the challenges and all of the difficulties, progress is possible. It is more than possible. It is real,” he said.
The Afghan Government and the international community agreed to establish a Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (JCMB) for overall strategic coordination of the implementation of the Afghanistan Compact at the London Conference (January 2006) and in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1659.

between development and the land.
all my life i've been seeking grass. i grew up in a green world, with tons of grass to roll around in, and trees to climb, and flowers that grew at different times of the year, and a sense of seasonal foods, and disciplined parents who ate as vegetarian as they could and tried to create vegetarians out of me and my brother (I think they were a little more successful with me, an open-minded eater, versus my brother, who would literally only eat meat or cheese for many years).
i try and sit down on the grass every day. you can do that all year long in durham. that's why i live here.
i'm drawn to natural beauty, to earthiness and foods that have color, to light, to water, to soil, to the strength of people who work on the land, whose hands and skin show the wear and tear of a life lived outdoors.
lately i've been thinking more about what this means for me spiritually. at a certain point in my christian life, i might have accepted that "green" thinking was important for christians to learn about and be involved in because it was better for our bodies and for our neighbors, socially speaking; hence, it was the right thing to do for the world. i still feel this way. nowadays, however, having recently been reading/listening to Ellen Davis's thoughts (piggybacking very much off of the ideas of Wendell Berry and other land-focused thinkers), i'm beginning to think there are even deeper implications than even just the social costs. there are questions that Davis brings up in "Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture" that are causing me to re-think the perspective i have (which essentially makes it a moral issue), and re-shape it into something that relates to God's promises and covenant with this world. this relates to agriculture being something that God made for us to do, not just eat well and reap the bounty of others' hard work - the "blind" habit we have of eating what is sold to us in grocery stores. but to actually be in touch with the earth, and to develop our own relationship to sewing, to harvesting, and to eating from the seasons He created.
my thoughts are not nearly as focused as Mrs. Davis's and will need time (and action too) to iron out what i hope i will find as solutions to these questions.
one thing i've noticed since childhood and that i've always viewed as a huge problem humanity has today is that we isolate ourselves from the earth. this is easy to do because wealthy folks can pay as much money as they need to in order to keep themselves comfortable and separated. from weather, from dirt, from what lies beyond the doors, insulation, carpeting of their own home. the outside.
not everyone, mind you. there are people living in the "biotic" community for sure. but not that many. a lot of people choose to live in what i've sometimes referred to as "the padded universe." this is where you can pay for peace and security in favor for any kind of world that could be broken in on by the earth around it, by the people around it, or anything else that could disturb a synthetic perpetual harmony that we're all used to. and feel entitled to.
in a way we don't realize, this is just another way in which we isolate ourselves from each other, and from the needs of the community we live in, and let's not forget God. The Great Big God who made everything and loves it. and hopes and gives always for its best.

Women preparing planks for the frame and base of cultivation trays made from wood pallets. The trays are then used for micro-gardening. - - Introduction of New Technology for Micro-Gardens in Urban and Suburban Areas: TCP/SEN/8823(D). Over the last 40 years in and around Dakar have experienced increased population growth and high levels of unemployment. Agricultural land has been depleted and areas available for cultivation have become scarce. Fruits and vegetables are imported and costly. Small, urban markets sell their produce at high prices, and families with little or no income can ill afford to buy them.
Through FAO s Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP), new technology for low-cost vegetable cultivation in micro-gardens has been introduced. This enables the most affected population groups to grow their own vegetables in containers, on roof terraces, in courtyards and on any small, collective parcel of land available.
The objectives of the project are: to make available to urban and suburban dwellers a simplified, alternative method of planting vegetables without the use of land; to demonstrate the technical, economic and sociological feasibility of vegetable cultivation on small surfaces without the use of land; to reinforce the national capacity within the field of new technologies for micro gardens. The project will also contribute to the development of Dakar s green belt, and provide for marketing fresh, home grown vegetables.
