Almere Oosterwold
Oosterwold is an area of 4,300 hectares on the east side of Almere and the west side of Zeewolde. Here there is space for 15,000 new homes, while the area retains and develops its green and agricultural character. In this area, a rich variety of living and working environments and facilities in low densities are sought as a counterpart to the highly western development.
The development of Oosterwold is not a detailed expansion plan that is common in Dutch urban design, but a simple framework and a set of rules that enable a multitude of private initiatives. The development strategy opts for organic development, with the invitation to initiators to furnish the area with greenery, agriculture and roads. Almere has been working consistently for a number of years towards a substantially greater role for private individuals in housing construction, urban planning and area development. The municipal government is deliberately withdrawing and leaving more and more to others. Examples of this, such as the Homeruskwartier, Noorderplassen-West, Overgooi and Nobelhorst, can already be seen or are being developed. In Oosterwold, the next step is taken in the search for spontaneous, organic growth "from below".
The uncertainty of the future is the starting point for Oosterwold. It cherishes the unexpected and in principle offers space for the wishes and creativity of citizens and other initiators. Only the essentials are determined in advance, with a set of ten rules that guarantee the public interest and offer unprecedented freedom to anyone who wants to help develop Oosterwold. In short, this area is not made "from above" on the basis of a comprehensive plan, but "from below" on the basis of a multitude of private plans. It is attractive for people with initiative who want to decide for themselves how they live and work, and who are willing to bear the corresponding responsibility. The role of the government is limited to the main points. She formulates the ambitions for the area and provides the framework, the conditions and the rules. On 1-1-2023 there are 3610 persons registrated in Oosterwold. On the areas distributed by Team Oosterwold 1412 houses are inhibited and 231 houses are being built.

Settled in 1607, it was the capital of the Virginia Colony until 1699, when the capital was relocated to Williamsburg. Today the site is administered by Colonial National Historic Park.

Prayers are broacasted live at the station
_______________________________________________
UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa, in the framework of the programme 'Empowering Local Radios with ICTs' Community Media Development, Freedom of Expression and Media Diversity & Pluralism, witnessed the life planning & programming of Baliti FM radio station, a Community in Isiolo County, Kenya, whose mission is to enable people’s access to information which will support development by providing an easily accessible and affordable communication platform.
Baliti 102.7FM was established by the Foundation for Women Pastoralists (FOWOPA) in collaboration with the local community in 2012. Baliti is an Oromo word meaning “Umoja” in Swahili, and can translate to ours / together/togetherness.
Baliti FM went on air on July 17th 2013 and has since produced, developed and aired programs on good governance, life stock development, climate change, gender and development, peace-building, children’s rights and the rights of marginalized groups like person with disability. Baliti FM has provided a platform for the people to communicate to each other towards pacific economic, social and political actions to protect their rights and improve their livelihood.
The community radio station is built on the concept of “Community Driven Development (CDD)” a concept that places people central to development from the onset to implementation. The radio station covers the Upper Easter region, an area that has faced the worst historical injustices in Kenya since independence. The aim of Baliti FM is to promote a culture of democracy in a non-ethnic, non-sexist society, free from all forms of discrimination whilst at the same time informing and educating the community on current development issues, helping them to actively participate and engage with listeners across the country.
Summary of issues of local public concern identified by inhabitants in the area of signal of Baliti102.7 FM:
Agriculture
Inadequate rainfall and overdependence on rain fed agriculture
Poor farming practices and shortages of farm inputs
Poor road networks
Health
Inadequate health facilities

Playing with the concept of "pi loops" from the bottom of this page www.angio.net/pi/piquery.html#why
If you look up a number in the digits of pi, and then take the position of that number and look it up, and do this recursively until you arrive at the original number, you have found a pi loop.
The image represents the recursion along the x axis, and the base value along the y axis (starting at 0, going to 512). The horizontal lines point to pi loops.
1 million digits of pi were considered in this process.

The 1/2 completed barn door. I build a framework of 2x4 with a 3/4" spacer, then 1/4" ply (to keep the weight down) then the trim on top. Overall, it's about 2 3/4" thick. I still need to build a entrance door and complete the locking mechanisms but it will turn out great. Some may think this is quite an effort to keep a couple of harmless kids out of my tool room, but I've been there, done that. I know what happened to my Dad's tools when my brothers and I got inside his crib. The most important reason is so that they don't get hurt. A secondary reason is so that when my wife leaves the garage door open all day, someone will need to do a little work to get my wrenches and screwdrivers if they want to take them illegally.
Whilst waiting for a helicopter to arrive (what I was actually there to shoot) I decided to take the opportunity to get the early morning glow through a near by work in progress. Benefits of waking up early I guess.
Used a Leica Elmarit R 19mm f2.8 lens on the Canon 7D. The EXIF info is in error because I am using an adapter.

Signing Ceremony of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the DRC and the Region

Boundary Crossings participants rethink folklore as a framework for animation that reflects not only national and ethnic traditions but also the new acquired and mixed cultural backgrounds of a generation that came of age around computers. Artistic movements such as Balinese puppet theatre, Eastern-European animation or Japanese Micropop are investigated as examples of the wide range of possible interpretations of folklore. This public exhibition of animated installations completed during the two week institute embraces diverse traditions as well as new forms and current issues.
