An antiqued version of the colour image. I thought it lent itself rather well to this treatment.
Spotted on our travels through Mid Wales. This old implement would have had a seat on the support between the two wheels and judging by the set up at the front would have been pulled by a large horse. Any ideas what it may have been used for.

On my roadtrip the othr day , I saw these old implements on display by the highway.The sickle bar mower and the planter caught my eye. Jumped out of the car and snapped their picture.
In Djibouti, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) together with the Ministry of Natural Resources are working to address the impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems and communities by implementing a set of urgent measures that will strengthen the capacity to predict future changes, while helping local populations to adapt through the adoption of more sustainable production methods, particularly in the areas of water management, agriculture, fisheries and tourism.

While there is no one right way to implement a GRC or IT-GRC strategy in your organization, there certainly are best practices that have emerged over the past several years. This webinar looks at what can you do to put in place an effective IT-GRC strategy in your organization, and how to avoid the mistakes that many professionals and organizations have made in the past.
IT-GRC has become a prevalent buzzword. However, there is a lot of confusion around what it is, how it relates to the business, and how governance, risk and compliance relate to each other. This webinar describes the core of IT-GRC, how to implement it, and common pitfalls to watch out for. While no one size fits all, every organization will benefit from the lessons here.
I love photographing historic recreations simply because they evoke a vision of a simpler more relaxed time, of quietude and men sitting on barrels smoking pipes, of misty valleys like this and the scent of wet grass and woodsmoke.

Cuenca.- Con el objetivo de apoyar a la población en situación de vulnerabilidad y conocer los protocolos de seguridad que han implementado las industrias para continuar laborando durante la emergencia, el vicepresidente Otto Sonnenholzner visitó tres cantones de Azuay.
En estos recorridos también participaron el ministro de Inclusión Economía y Social, MIES, Iván Granda, el gobernador Xavier Martínez y varios representantes locales.
En Cuenca, las autoridades estuvieron en la empresa familiar de productos lácteos Nutrileche, que durante la emergencia sanitaria continuó trabajando con más de 175 trabajadores. Para ello, han implementado medidas, como el uso de uniformes de bioseguridad, toma de temperatura, entre otros aspectos de higiene y desinfección.
Así mismo, recorrieron la línea de producción Ecoline de Fibroacero, industria de fabricación de cocinas, cocinetas, tanques de gas y congeladores. En Cuenca, rigen las disposiciones de semáforo amarillo, razón por la que esta fábrica de 412 empleados, opera con el 50% de su personal. Todos laboran con el equipamiento de seguridad necesario, además se les ha proporcionado un instructivo para sus familias frente a la pandemia y kits de mascarillas, gel, alcohol y cloro.
El Vicepresidente destacó que “sirven como ejemplo para laborar cuidando la salud del personal. Necesitamos rápidamente reactivar algunos sectores para mantener el empleo y generar ingresos”, aseguró.
Además, con el objetivo de analizar estrategias para la reactivación económica y evaluar las acciones tomadas hasta el momento, el segundo mandatario mantuvo una reunión con los presidentes de la Cámara de Comercio de Cuenca, Fernando Romero; de la Cámara de Industrias, Producción y Empleo, Diego Malo y de la Cámara de la Pequeña Industria del Azuay, Fernando Romero.
“Ha sido una reunión productiva, es momento de trabajar en esta nueva normalidad arrimando todos el hombro, por ello ratificamos nuestro apoyo”, manifestó Malo.
Actualmente, en el Parque Industrial de esta ciudad, más de 100 empresas volvieron a laborar manteniendo cerca de 12 mil puestos de trabajo, confirmó, por su parte, Romero.
El gobernador Xavier Martínez dio a conocer que “se han coordinado las acciones interinstitucionalmente para iniciar nuevamente con las actividades productivas y continuar entregando víveres a los ciudadanos”.
La jornada continuó junto a las brigadas de los ministerios de Salud e Inclusión, quienes brindan atención integral a las familias más vulnerables en todo el país. Esta vez, llegaron a Gualaceo, en el sector Bullcay, barrio El Asentamiento y Antonio Vera Guanaco, donde se entregaron 800 kits de alimentos; otros 500 se destinaron a familias de Jardines de Paute y 700 a los habitantes de Los Pinos Altos en Cuenca. En este último lugar, el Hospital Universitario del Río donó 50 pruebas rápidas para detección de anticuerpos.
También en Guachalapa, el MIES benefició a los moradores con 200 kits de víveres. En total, en esta jornada se entregaron alrededor de 2.200 raciones alimenticias. Según detalló esta cartera de Estado, en Azuay, 57.443 kits han sido otorgados a los azuayos.
“Estamos acompañando a las brigadas de salud y alimentación para revisar que la ciudadanía esté bien y darles una ayuda para que puedan sostener el aislamiento por más tiempo”, enfatizó el vicemandatario. Además, escuchó las necesidades de los habitantes, “entendemos la situación porque es difícil mantenerse en aislamiento, pero tenemos que seguir avanzando, cumpliendo las medidas y con la certeza de que el principal enemigo es el COVID-19”, explicó.
En este contexto, el ministro Granda comentó que desde el Gobierno se han implementado varias estrategias, “hemos atendido a los ecuatorianos con bonos de asistencia social que ampliaron su cobertura y beneficia a cerca de 1.950 mil familias y la protección del empleo. En este tema, Cuenca ha sido constante y emprendió un proceso ordenado para lograr un equilibrio entre productividad y bioseguridad, 118 comercios cuencanos están reiniciando sus actividades”, dijo.
Una de las beneficiarias, Blanca Tigre, manifestó su agradecimiento por la ayuda entregada, “estamos contentos con la llegada del segundo mandatario, me dio valor para realizarme la prueba. Pedimos que se cuide para que siga luchando contra la pandemia”, finalizó.

Combating waste trafficking demands international cooperation and a high-level of scientific expertise (to analyse the composition of waste, for instance). This is primarily the task of customs and port authorities, but initiatives for broader cooperation are developing, such as the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law (IMPEL), which controls shipments in major European ports.

Ran across this small horse farm that had their fencing (and most everything else) lined with these antique implements. Makes for great pics.

These are interesting little farm implements. Apparently made from about 1972-1980 ?. Powered by a Chrysler Slant 6 Engine, mounted horizontally. It appears that some of the engine shrouding is missing. A little search on the internet shows that a lot of them are still operating and are quite popular.

Hand Pumps for Community Water Supply
Location: Moradani Village, Mir Pur Sakro District Thatta Sindh.
Project Duration: July 2015- September 2015
Cost of pumps financed by: Mr. Afroz Hussaini
Implementing Partners: Lodhie Foundation & Shaan Technologies Private Limited
Total Pumps Installed: 10
Beneficiaries: 465 Household with an estimated population of 3600 Peoples.
Pakistan is one of the most water stressed countries in the world where total actual renewable water resources have been decreasing day by day. Presently water resources in Pakistan decreased from 5000 cubic meters per capita in 1951 to 1100 cubic meters in last year.
Currently, over 35 percent of Pakistan’s population does not have access to safe drinking water. The quality of drinking water supply is poor, with bacterial contamination, arsenic, fluoride and nitrate being the factors of major concern. Province of Sindh is one of the highly water scarce province of Pakistan. Deterioration in water quality and contamination of lakes, rivers and groundwater aquifers has resulted in increased waterborne diseases and other health impacts.
Coastal belt of Sindh is one of the highly effected areas where decreased inflow in Indus river delta is resulting in salt water intrusion from sea. This reduced water inflow destabilized eco system as well as made drinking water availability a major problem for the people especially women.
Mirpur Sakro is one of the water scarce area near coastal belt of Sindh. It is 90 kilometers away from Karachi. Since last 2 years Lodhie Foundation is providing relief to the community through installing hand pumps is this area. Lodhie Foundation is very grateful to Syed Afroze Hussaini for his generous support for the installation of 10 hand pumps in Village Mora Dani and surrounding areas located in Mirpur Sakro district Thatta Sindh.
Pumps Installation was started in Mid of August 2015 and finished in 3rd week of September 2015. Before the installation of pumps near their houses, women are used to travel 1 to 5 Kilometers to fetch a pot water for their families and cattle.
At the completion time of Hand pump installation nearly 465 households of village MoraDani and surrounding areas were enjoying clean water near their houses. Earlier they were dependent on open reservoirs, canals or open wells for drinking water. Women have to walk quiet a distance to fetch water and multiple rounds are performed to collect sufficient amount of water for their daily usage. Before the installation of hand pumps women have to walk 1 to 5 km, to fetch water which need 1 to 3 hours. Now the
condition has been improved drastically as, water is available near their homes which is a blessing for families and their cattle. Pump water is used for domestic purpose and drinking.
Availability of spare parts for repair and maintenance is not easy in remote areas. To overcome this problem each pump is supplied with necessary spares to keep it maintain without any delay.
See the previous picture for context, then view the notes.
Explanation:
The labels are under the items because I obviously know what the item is. And when the item is where it needs to be, I don't need a label telling me so. The only time I need labels for these items is when they're not where they're supposed to be. The labels annoy me into replacing the item as quickly as possible. They're nags designed to instill good "put it back where it belongs" behavior.
Vernacular signs— "local, site-specific, handmade or hand-crafted signage produced as a unique piece of art or a small run advertisement..."
Advertisements painted by hand directly onto the brickwork of buildings were once a common sight in cities, towns and villages across the country. The rise of printed billboards soon led to their decline but many still survive, often faded, clinging to the walls that host them. These 'Ghostsigns' provide a window into the past and evidence of the craftsmanship that once went into their production. However, they are disappearing fast, often due to weathering but also as a result of property development and demolition.
Sheridan, WY is lucky to have a good deal of these signs still remaining....
