The city of Lynchburg, Virginia has on display two antique road maintenance machines—a Galion roller (from 1922) and this American Big Winner No. 31 road grader manufactured by the American Road Machinery Company sometime in the 1880s (probably). The grader was horse-drawn with four or more hitched to the machine to maintain the dirt roads of the late 19th century. A plaque at the site states the grader dates from about 1880, and a metal plate on the grader names the item, the company and location (Kennett Square, Pennsylvania), and the reordering number. However the company did not become American Road Machinery Co until 1889. The company was founded by Samuel and Moses Pennock for the manufacture of agricultural implements (they invented the grain drill in 1841) and the first 4-wheel road machine in 1877. For a convoluted history of the company see archives.hcea.net/?p=collections/findingaid&id=128&am... Sadly, I don’t know what I have pictures of; I just liked the shapes.
The day I took photos, a group of three people was investigating every part of the machine; finally, I asked what they were doing. It was part of a geo-cache game they were playing. For a brief description of this item in Lynchburg see www.lynchburgva.gov/Index.aspx?page=121

Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban YJ08 XYB has gained a bright yellow overall advertising livery to promote York's brand new iTravel 'York By Bus' smartcard system which has been implemented by the city council with money from the Better Bus Area Fund so as to improve accessibility to buses.... for a relatively compact city, York has quite a diverse bus scene with no less than 9 different companies operating regular stagecarriage services in and out of the city - the aim of the smartcard system is for one card to be able to be used on any bus operated by any of these companies in the city. On-street terminals have been installed over the last few weeks and have undergone commissioning ready for the system going live in November.
Originally part of the Park and Ride fleet, this and 69364 were de-branded and initially operated route 13A in a basic silver-only livery but more recently have been dual purpose and operate any route as and when required. Today the 'flying banana' is parked on Parliament Street as part of the York Residents Festival to encourage more bus use and to raise awareness of a recruitement drive. The drivers there kindly let me have a crack at the Hanovers, so I put up some of the lesser-seen destinations and those normally not seen in daylight; these include the following:
- 66x, this is a single journey bolted on to a Yellow Line 8 diagram: the bus works from Grimston Bar to Piccadilly (showing 'Piccadilly' as the destination) then switches to 66X working via Lawrence Street to the university Heslington Hall and along Field Lane to Grimston Bar;
- Hb1, this is the early morning hospital bus which leaves the university at 6.30am on a single journey to the hospital via Tang Hall, 4th Avenue, Layerthorpe and Lord Mayors Walk
- Ub1, the free campus shuttle at the university, this is usually only worked by a Versa as the uni requires an electric bus for it (though Solo 49913 did work this route during its brief stay at York)
- Cb1, the late night clubbers bus. This operates three overnight journeys in the early hours of the morning on selected nights in term time between the clubs in the city centre and the university before returning to the city centre via Fulford Broadway and Fulford Road
- Ss1 Study Shuttle. This is an odd service that normally only runs for 2 weeks a year in the early hours of a morning from the university along Melrosegate and Tang Hall Lane to Heslington East, west campus, Fulford Broadway, Fulford Road, Heslington Road and back to the university
- university free shuttle, this would be used if York Pullman required extra vehicles on an open day or if First laid on a campus shuttle service during Freshers week, as Transdev did in the past
- route 26 to Fulford Crossfield Crescent, this is usually worked by Arriva but funding cuts meant the late night final journey on fri/sat were due to be withdrawn until First stepped in to operate them using a bus that comes off route 1, just one journey operates at 2345
- 197 Racecourse shuttle, usually only seen on double deckers
- 500 Askham Bar P&R and Foxwood or Bishopthorpe, a free shuttle service linking areas no longer having their normal bus service to the P&R site for the city centre
I also put up generic displays such as Special Service, Shuttle Service, York City Centre (Generic), Special Event Shuttle (usually used for the X31 Leeds Festival service), Rail Replacement (First York buses have done this in the past, Andy Burbridge has photos of B7L's at Darlington waiting to head to Newcastle), Works Service (staff bus), Private Hire, First logo. I also put up the most rare of destinatiosn to be seen, the Hanover test screen (which, among other info such as display and controller type, shows the display address and size)
Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.
AGAHI is UNESCO implementing partner in Pakistan. A not for profit, AGAHI specializes in creating communication, information and media policy design tools, that enables the stakeholders to engage in information collaboration on knowledge-based platforms. AGAHI works in building the capacity of knowledge workers in creating content based on best practices to disseminate information in building a more integrated knowledge ecosystem.

To implement its mandate as defined by UN Security Council resolution 1701, UNIFIL carries out over 450 operational activities per day such as patrols, maritime activities, monitoring the Blue Line and live fire training such as this.
In 2018, USAID launched the second-annual Digital Development Awards (the “Digis”) to recognize USAID projects that harness the power of digital tools and data-driven decision making. The WeMUNIZE program was one of five winners chosen out of the 140 applicants. It is implemented by local technology start-up Black Swan Tech Ltd through USAID’s Maternal and Child Survival Program led by Jhpiego.
Faced with limited local record keeping and low levels of literacy and connectivity, the WeMUNIZE program uses a combination of digital record keeping and community engagement to increase early childhood immunizations. For families participating in the WeMUNIZE program, dropout rates have fallen to below 10 percent.
The project recruits primarily women for their team of trained volunteers and supports them with free mobile phones, empowering women to help their communities and overcome social barriers.
Thanks to its coordination with the Government of Nigeria, the project shares the immunization data generated to improve stakeholder coordination and transfers ownership to the state government to build local capacity.

I noticed that the old barn I captured previously had a bit of a sway when I was trying to correct perspectives in Photoshop. (Other versions are in the Photo Set) Here is a view from the north below the house behind my back. Back in the day, this barn would have been a good match if he had a swayback horse. Then he might have been late for the Sand Creek Massacre, an event that some silt heads defend to this day. I can''t imagine why the Indians would have had a bit of an edge on after invaders stole their livelihoods and even their lives. For some reason the grasses have grown lush up til this point when they are starting to dry in this torrid summer. That is not Eddie consoling Chivington, he created his own tribute, in a sort of vulgar fashion! Thumbs up, Eddie!
This version shows more of the horse-drawn implements, lined up against the fence, that could have been used on a farm/ranch like Sandstone. The continuously used manure spreader is the last in line. I am beginning to think that the barn was partly a crib for grain and perhaps livestock feed. Note the curious hinged, drop-down doors that might have been for accessing livestock feed from the outside? I can only assume that because the barn was built on a concrete knee-wall that it was in the flood plane and precautions were taken. Wise, It has stood the test of time! Even I remember floods (only one fairly monumental one) that might have crept up here. Here, in the river bottom, fertile valley floods created this pasture land.

La Alcaldesa de la Capital, Lorena Martínez, se reunió con las
integrantes del Frente Estatal de Organizaciones Independientes
(FEOI), encabezadas por su dirigente, Luz María Hernández, así como
con las beneficiarias de los programas sociales implementados por el
Gobierno Municipal en Norias de Ojocaliente, en quienes reconoció su
liderazgo y esfuerzo para contribuir al desarrollo pleno de sus
familias y ser dignas representantes del sector femenino en
Aguascalientes.
“Estamos trabajando intensamente a favor de las mujeres, el primero y
más importante compromiso de mi gobierno fue ese, de tener una
política clara y puntual a favor de todas ustedes, porque eso es lo
que nos va a permitir el día de mañana llevar a buen término a nuestra
ciudad, porque las mujeres tienen la energía, la capacidad, la
tenacidad, la perseverancia, el coraje para alcanzar todas las metas
que nos proponemos”.
En primer término, ante cientos de mujeres pertenecientes al FEOI, la
Presidenta Capitalina reafirmó su compromiso ineludible con el
crecimiento y superación de las mujeres, pues desde el inicio de su
gestión se han establecido las bases para impulsar una nueva política
en la que prevalece el respeto a todas y todos, así como la generación
de las condiciones necesarias para una sociedad igualitaria.
“Son mujeres que han demostrado y demuestran todos los días, la
capacidad que tenemos para salir adelante a pesar de la adversidad, el
liderazgo de Luz María y el liderazgo de cada una de ustedes en sus
colonias y en sus comunidades tienen una respuesta a cada una de sus
necesidades, son solidarias con todas ustedes”.
En ese sentido y acompañada también de la Regidora Elsa Lucia
Armendáriz Silva, de la Presidenta del DIF Municipal, Liz Martínez,
la Secretaria de Integración Social, Angélica Flores Cervantes y la
titular del IMMA, Verona Valencia García, Lorena Martínez les dio a
conocer el fortalecimiento de un fondo económico para el otorgamiento
de créditos a mujeres jefas de familia, mediante el cual será posible
dotarles de las herramientas requeridas para que puedan contribuir al
sustento de sus hijas e hijos.
En su oportunidad, Luz María Hernández agradeció el respaldo brindado
por el Gobierno de Lorena Martínez para la consolidación de diversos
proyectos al interior del organismo, a través de los cuales ha sido
posible cambiar el entorno social de sus integrantes y particularmente
mejorar sus condiciones de vida.
“La Alcaldesa es una de esas personas que sabe y que ve las
necesidades que tenemos todas y cada una de nosotros para encabezar y
sacar adelante un hogar y es de reconocerse y agradecemos esta
convivencia con las mujeres de FEOI”.
Posteriormente, la Alcaldesa Lorena Martínez visitó a las vecinas del
fraccionamiento Norias de Ojocaliente, quienes luego de participar en
un ejercicio de diálogo y acercamiento, le manifestaron su
agradecimiento y reconocimiento por los programas como “Mejora Tu
Vivienda”, así como por los apoyos sociales y acciones realizadas en
materia de pavimentación, agua potable y alcantarillado efectuadas en
su colonia, a través de las cuales se ha transformado
significativamente la situación económica, social y urbana de las
familias.
“Licenciada le agradezco nuevamente haber aceptado venir con nosotros,
sabemos que es una mujer que se levanta trabajando y se duerme
trabajando. Norias era uno de los lugares a los que le faltaban muchas
cosas y gracias a usted hemos logrado mucho, nos han ayudado mucho más
que otras administraciones”¸ expresó la señora Martina Trejo Martínez,
beneficiaria del programa “Mejora Tu Vivienda”.
A los eventos se dieron cita además el Regidor José Gilberto Gutiérrez
Gutiérrez, Presidente de la Comisión de Ecología del H. Ayuntamiento;
el Director de la Comisión de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado (CCAPAMA),

Aerial view of treated and untreated brush management areas on Sauerbier Ranches LLC, where producer Dan Doornbos (vest) and son-in-law ranch operator Ryan Ellis, were able to implement brush management practices and install a solar-powered (photovoltaic) electric well pump and distribution system with the help of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) John Wagoner (cowboy hat), at Sweetwater Basin, in southwest Montana, on August 27, 2019. Brush management practice has opened the rangeland for cattle to better graze and improve the land. On other parts of the ranches, well pumps draw water from the aquifer below a creek. The pump pushes water through pipelines, up to rangelands more than two miles away to draw cattle to a variety of grazing areas. This improves the water quality by drawing the cattle from the nearby flowing creek; provides more water from a more stable underground water resource; allows the land to rest from the presence of the cattle; allows the manure to return to the soil so that the plants can better grow back, and provides drinking water for the cattle in remote rangelands.
Brush Management is the management or removal of woody (non-herbaceous or succulent) plants including those that are invasive and noxious. This creates the desired plant community consistent with the ecological site or a desired state within the site description; restores or release desired vegetative cover to protect soils, control erosion, reduce sediment, improve water quality, or enhance hydrology.• Maintain, modify, or enhance fish and wildlife habitat; improves forage accessibility, quality, and quantity for livestock and wildlife; Manages fuel loads to achieve desired conditions; controls pervasive plant species to a desired level of treatment that will ultimately contribute to creation or maintenance of an ecological site description “steady-state” addressing the need for forage, wildlife habitat, and/or water quality.
Pumping Plant is a facility that delivers water at a designed pressure and flow rate. Includes the required pump(s), associated power unit(s), plumbing, appurtenances, and may include on-site fuel or energy source(s), and protective structures.

Low waters and underwater obstacles challenge Quileute Tribal Council Vice Chair Tony Foster as he pilots a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) boat to travel along the Quillayute River with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Tribal Liaison for Washington State Robin Slate, and Quileute Tribal Water Quality Biologist Nicole Rasmussen, who are looking for signs of erosion (risk erosion) of the bank at and about Smith Sough, the source of water that flows through the culverts of the NRCS Thunder Road project, that addresses four fish barriers that block more than 22 acres of fish habitat, in La Push, Washington, Aug 22, 2018. This conservation planning effort lead to an unusual partnership where the Quileute Tribe requested access to WDWF fish passage biologist and engineers through a NRCS/WDFW Contribution agreement. This partnership resulted in a coordinated effort to bring conservation actions to life in a remote location. The Thunder Road Project addressed the need for floodplain connectivity to restore natural flow of water across floodplain, restore access to off-channel fish habitat in wetlands and stream complex. The project also improved the roadway and reduced sediment runoff from tribal members using road to access the river during the wet season (peak fishing season). The conservation plans identified aquatic habitat, water quality, and plant pest resource concerns, along with a social resource concern related to the Tribe’s use of the degraded Thunder Road for fishing and recreational access. Additionally, conservation planning determined soils information was needed and resulted in a Soil Survey mapping effort on the Reservation. Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funding in two successive years was used to provide the Tribe financial assistance. The tribe used State Salmon Recovery Funding Board funding to provide the balance of the implementation cost. EQIP 2015 contract included invasive species control aquatic organism passage and access road improvement=$60,964. EQIP 2016 contract included aquatic organism passage and access road improvement = $117,101. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

The Queens County Farm Museum dates back to 1697 and occupies New York City's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland. The farm encompasses a 47-acre parcel that is the longest continuously farmed site in New York State. The site includes historic farm buildings, a greenhouse complex, livestock, farm vehicles and implements, planting fields, an orchard, and an herb garden. The farm animals and tranquil agrarian environment provide the opportunity to leave the hectic daily pace behind for an enjoyable visit to a farm without leaving the city.
Three blocks of grand maple trees on 8th Ave S near the South Park Community Center provide critical tree canopy and a sense of place for the neighborhood. Unfortunately, these trees were planted in a narrow planting strip, so their roots have significantly damaged the sidewalk and made it difficult for folks to get around.
King County and the City plan to implement a long term solution to these tree and sidewalk issues in the next few years, so SDOT’s objective in 2016 was to complete interim repairs to improve safety on a relatively small budget. Luckily, we also had a valuable resource: 14’ driving lanes on 8th Ave S. That’s wider than we need even for buses and trucks. This opened possibilities.
Throughout Seattle, SDOT is looking at existing pavement in new ways. By using low cost investments such as paint and planter boxes, we’ve reprogrammed street areas into curb bulbs, sidewalks, and public plazas. With this creative perspective, we gathered feedback from the South Park community on ways to reconfigure 8th Ave S to increase safety for people walking, preserve trees and address other priorities. SDOT crews completed the newly configured three blocks of 8th Ave S this summer.
The updated 8th Ave S keeps street parking on both sides as the neighborhood requested. We narrowed driving lanes to 10.5’, freeing up space to add a 6’ wide protected walkway along the curb, and we closed the damaged sidewalk. As an added benefit, narrower driving lanes tend to slow traffic speeds.
The walkway is protected from traffic by the parking lane and curbs and posts installed by SDOT crews. We also extended the pedestrian space at intersections and reduced the length of the crossings by creating curb bulbs using posts and paint.
In other locations SDOT fully painted these curb bulbs, but in South Park we used a more innovative design using polka dots, which are more eye-catching to drivers. We worked with South Park leaders to match the colors of the polka dots with the colors of the South Park Neighborhood Association logo.
Feedback from the South Park community has been positive about this added sense of place for the neighborhood, the preservation of its stately trees and a safer place to walk.
Project Goals
Provide a safe walking experience for people of all ages and abilities
Increase safety and predictability for all travelers
Promote physical activity and affordable travel options
Accommodate on-street parking
Through our conversations with community members and the feedback we received, we gathered many ideas that will help us identify a preferred alternative for the neighborhood. Some of the most common ones include:
Maintain street tree canopy along 8th Avenue
Install clear markings for people to travel and transition safely
Provide safe and visible access to bus stops and driveways
Consider designating space for people riding bicycles away from traffic
Install enough protection/barriers between people walking and people driving
Keep proposed walk path clean from leaves and debris regularly
Keep neighbors informed on project progress throughout the process
Preserve parking on both sides of the street to accommodate demand during community center events
June 23, 2015. Started my day at the dentist - just a cleaning, but any day someone scrapes your teeth with a metal implement is not a good one. Still, I had a reasonably productive afternoon.
Can anyone tell me what this implement is for? It was found in the same yard as the two previously pictured Massey Ferguson tractors.
In recent years, states in the region have implemented programs with the aim of reducing poverty and extreme poverty. Here are some examples.
In Belize, the Building Opportunities for Our Social Transformation Initiative—aimed at pregnant women, children under the age of 4 and school-age children, adults and persons with physical disabilities—provides cash transfers for people who meet three requirements: immunize children under 5, ensure regular prenatal check-ups for pregnant women, and keep children in school with a minimum of 85% attendance.
In Bolivia, the Juancito Pinto Grant is given to a parent or guardian of a child in the first five years of primary school, on the condition that the child has a minimum of 80% attendance during the school year. A further program is the Juana Azurduy de Padilla Grant, a financial incentive given to pregnant women and recent mothers on the condition that they attend prenatal and postpartum check-ups and educational activities and take their babies for regular medical examinations.
In Brazil, the main cash transfer program, known as Bolsa Familia, is a grant given to families who live in poverty or extreme poverty on the condition that they vaccinate their children on time, take them for medical examinations, and keep them in school with regular attendance.
In Colombia, the Families in Action program grants education subsidies on the condition that the student regularly attends school, to promote school graduation among people who live in poverty.
In Honduras, the Better Life grant involves cash transfers to people who live in extreme poverty, provided that they meet certain conditions in the fields of healthcare, education and nutrition.
In Panama, the Opportunity Network program involves cash transfers on the condition that women attend prenatal check-ups and that children under 5 attend medical examinations to keep their health and growth on track.
Still, we note that asking people who live in poverty and extreme poverty to prove, by meeting certain requirements, that they “deserve” such benefits would infringe upon the very foundations of their human rights.
