This was the "real" food the people of Magobeding Township used to eat before they were resettled by AngloPlat mines. The food in the shops is not real food and is very expensive.

The fourth meeting of the Advisory Committee took place from 1-3 March 2023 and served as an opportunity to shape the PDD’s next phase, post-2023 and elaborate input to the strategy review process.
The meeting allowed participants to exchange and share their latest work and ongoing or planned initiatives around the topic of disaster displacement. Above all, it provided the opportunity to plan future collaborative engagement and formulate strategic advice for the PDD’s next steps.
Today I happened across a protest by the The Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition against the proposed condo housing project at Cesar Chavez and Mission street. The Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition (MAC) is a coalition of community organization and individuals whose goal is to stop the displacement of working class people in the Mission District and San Francisco.

Our Money, Our Communities Rally and March from Bank of America, 100 Federal St in Boston to Santander Bank Headquarters.
Bank worker unions are the norm in other countries around the world (and the US is the only country where Santander workers arenât unionized). Santander workers present their petition to management in Boston making them the first workers at a major US bank to try to unionize.
Jack Smith writes:
âThe U.S. bank workers have three demands. The first is greater wages and greater share of the profits, and the second is stable, full-time jobs. Crisp uniforms and polished storefronts aside, bank tellers are solidly low-wage employees â and wages have only taken a downturn over the past decade; as of May 2015, the median annual wage for a bank teller was $26,410.
The third demand isnât just about protecting workers or shoring up their jobs â itâs about stopping predatory banking practices that pit bank workers against their own communities.â
This third demand is especially important here in New England, as evidenced by a recent report documents Santanderâs discriminatory lending practices, which have had a particularly damaging impact in Massachusetts. Worker input could help to change those practices, as it did in the case of Wells Fargo last year.

The Small Business Anti-Displacement Network (SBAN) is a network of organizations across the U.S. and internationally that work to prevent the displacement of BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods. SBAN’s 2023 conference was held from November 1-3 at The Hotel at the University of Maryland. This year’s theme, “Strengthening Community & Building Opportunity,” highlights how promoting community control, ownership, and identity are central to creating opportunities for small business growth and sustainability in BIPOC and immigrant communities.
Captain America Edit with JFK quote. Wish the suit came out stronger, however learnt the displacement effect is only really good for well light objects like faces and not clothing.

Broil Sensotek industries indigenous producer and developer of turbine flow sensor and turbine flow meter, Broiltech developed two type of turbine rotor for suite different industrial application,
1) Helical rotor turbine flow sensor,
Helical Rotor turbine flow meters are positive displacement meters with a very favorable pressure drop behavior therefore perfectly suited for the flow measurement of very high viscosity fluids.
helical flow meters are an excellent choice for laminating systems, painting systems, adhesive dispense systems, as well as batching systems for various fluids in single system,
Features
• High accuracy
• Pressure: up to 400 bar
• independent of viscosity, perfect for 1 to 106 mm²/s
• Low pressure drop compared with other positive displacement meters
• High resolution
• Pulsation-free measurement, non-sensitive to pulsating flows
• Resistant to corrosion by advanced materials and bearings
Applications
• Polyurethane and polymer
• Light and heavy fuel oil
• Petrochemical products
• Thixotropical fluids
• Fat and oils with varying viscosities
• Hydraulic test rigs with varying viscosities and fluids
• Water / glycol mixtures - See more at: www.broiltech.com/products.php?catName=Helical%20Rotor%20...

The Atlantic 85 is part of the B-class of lifeboats that serve the shores of the United Kingdom and Ireland as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet.
The Atlantic 85 is the third generation B-class Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) developed from the Atlantic 21 and the later Atlantic 75. The Atlantic design of the B-class of lifeboats is named after Atlantic College, where the design was originally developed.
Design
The hull is constructed in a fibre reinforced composite, consisting of a carbon fibre and foam core laminate with an epoxy glass and foam sandwich layup. The tubes are Hypalon.
The boat is powered by twin 115 hp (86 kW) Yamaha 4-stroke outboard engines that have been inversion-proofed to ensure the engines are still operational after a capsize.
Like previous RIBs, it has a manually operated self-righting mechanism that deploys an airbag mounted atop the A-frame. It is capable of being beached in an emergency without sustaining damage to engines or steering gear. The Atlantic 85 is fitted with radar and VHF direction finding equipment and can be operated safely in daylight in a force 6/7 and at night in a force 5/6.
The Atlantic 85 also has intercom communications between the crew and VHF radio via their helmets, DGPS & Chartplotter. It also carries a searchlight, night-vision equipment and illuminating paraflares for night-time operations.
To ensure equipment is kept to a high standard of repair, boats go through annual or bi-annual overhauls, and 4-year refits.

Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.
