African trypanosomoses are parasitic diseases of animals and humans alike. The animal form, called nagana, and the human form, called sleeping sickness, affect the health, livelihoods and development prospects of millions of people. Trypanosomoses also hinder the optimal utilization of some of the most fertile lands in sub-Saharan Africa
Currently, the six countries that receive priority assistance from the project are: Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda in Eastern Africa, and Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mali in Western Africa.

Large Scale Pastel Drawing of Highland Cattle in Loch Lomond
Materials Used: Canvas, Pastels, Pastel Pencils, Putty Rubber, Tortillion
After a lot of advice from my dear flickr friends I have taken onboard the guidance provided and managed to improve the drawing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friends for their support and guidance throughout this drawing experience. I will have to call this finished now and I am much happier with the results. There was advice provided that I couldn't use this time round but will keep it in mind for future drawings. Thanks again my Dear Flickr Friends!!
This is my large scale drawing of Loch Lomond with the added feature of the Highland Cattle, it was really enjoyable to create and took quite a long time. I used a combination of photographs to help create this scene and I think my clouds are more realistic, I think it worked well for this scene.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Monarch butterfly populations have declined over recent decades due to degraded habitat, but Oregon landowners like Warren and Laurie Halsey are making great strides to improve monarch habitat on private lands, with technical and financial assistance from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Milkweed is a critical component of monarch habitat because it’s the only plant on which they will lay their eggs, and it’s a vital food source for monarch caterpillars. The Halsey’s have 19 active milkweed clusters throughout their 270-acre ranch in Benton County, Oregon. The Halsey’s voluntarily signed up for the NRCS wetland reserve program and enrolled 69 acres into a 30-year wetland easement in 1998. NRCS provided financial and technical assistance to restore the wetland hydrology and plant native grasses, wildflowers, trees and shrubs throughout the easement, with additional technical support from USFWS and other partners.

On March 11, 2017, Hayward community members discovered an abundance of edible plants growing in a typical South Hayward neighborhood on a walking tour led by UC Berkeley Professor Philip B. Stark.
Did you know that wild and feral foods can improve nutrition, expand diets, excite palates, save water, reduce waste, increase food security, increase farm biodiversity, and increase farm revenue?
The Bay Area has about 90 common species of safe-to-eat vegetation, and tour participants spotted about a dozen types of tasty greens on the tour.
Professor Stark is the founder and principal investigator of the Berkeley Open Source Food (forage.berkeley.edu/ ), which maps the availability and seasonal abundance of wild and feral edible plants, and much more. Stark is also an author of the BOSF field guide The Bay Area Baker’s Dozen of Wild Edibles, which helps foragers identify free and nutritious food in their own neighborhoods. Find more information at the Berkeley Open Source Food website.
A collection of photographs of common Bay Area edible weeds can also be found on the BOSF Project page of the free downloadable app iNaturalist, which provides a platform for community members to log sitings of plants found in nature.
This tour was sponsored by the Hayward Seed Lending Library, a community seed exchange offered at both library locations. "Check out" vegetable and flower seeds to plant in your garden. In return, harvest some of the seeds from mature plants for your own use and for sharing with the Seed Lending Library.

Here, the jurisdiction maintaining the trail has recognized the bollard hazard and taken some steps to reduce the threat, but is still far from standard practice.
The centerline stripe must be yellow, not white, and should extend on both sides of the center bollard, as well as striping an envelope 1 foot beyond the width of the bollard, while the bollards on the edge of the trail should have white hazard stripes.
All pavement markings must use reflective paint.

They improved a rickety bridge on James Street Road and I was hoping the rest of the road would also be better for bikes. It's kind of disappointing, the improvement doesn't go much past the bridge so the road is a bit narrow and busy till Bakerview.
Past Bakerview it's more quiet, but subdivisions are going in fast. The city has discussed King Mountain neighborhood as an "infill density" area with some high rise development. At least high to maybe 8 stories. That could pay for road improvements? Instead, it seems to be filling up with 1 and 2 story houses; the owners of which are likely to block other kinds of development.
Anyway, the view on the way up is spectacular. Out over San Juan Islands and the Olympic Mountains. My photo from the top on this ride (Sept 2015) doesn't do justice to the view.

Magnus has much improved after his stay with the trainer. She definitely had a much more effective approach to his behaviors than the first trainer we used. Is he perfect? No. Does he still need more work? Yes. Can people come over to visit us when Magnus is out? Yes. Could they prior to his month with her? No. Does he get to interact with visitors directly? Not yet. He needs to get comfortable with having them in our home. We are also working on using body language to claim areas. We randomly keep Magnus out of different parts of the house by holding our palms out by our side creating, if you will, an invisible barrier. The less he thinks the house is his, the less he will think he needs to protect us from strangers. Magnus views sitting on his elevated bed as his "job" to do when strangers are over. Bogart better not try to distract him or he turns his back to say that this isn't play time, it's work time. Glad he feels his role is important!
Now that Magnus is finally a year and a half old, we are introducing another "job" for him to do. And this time it involves a backpack. I'll have him wear a backpack out on walks. Walking has improved, too, from his time away at training. Once again, he's not allowed to directly interact with others yet, but that's fine. I have only tested his training in our neighborhood where we know people. Next Thursday will be a real test as we are meeting his trainer at a park with a walking trail. . . we shall see how that goes.
BTW, I only had my macro lens out with us, hence the "macro" of his backpack. We bought last year's Pallisades model on clearance. Quite the fancy pack! So far he's only been carrying his poop bags in it, hee hee, but in time he will be able to carry much more. Remember, in spite of his nickname, Tiny isn't all that tiny!

Lincoln Cathedral (in full The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, or sometimes St. Mary's Cathedral) is a cathedral located in Lincoln in England and seat of the Bishop of Lincoln in the Church of England. Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549).[1][2][3] The central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt. The cathedral is the third largest in Britain (in floor space) after St Paul's and York Minster, being 484 by 271 feet (148 by 83 m). It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."
Remigius de Fécamp, the first Bishop of Lincoln, moved the episcopal seat (cathedra) there "some time between 1072 and 1092"[4] About this, James Essex writes that "Remigius ... laid the foundations of his Cathedral in 1088" and "it is probable that he, being a Norman, employed Norman masons to superintend the building ... though he could not complete the whole before his death."[5] Before that, writes B. Winkles, "It is well known that Remigius appropriated the parish church of St Mary Magdalene in Lincoln, although it is not known what use he made of it
Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was considered to be the "mother church"[7] of Lincolnshire[8] (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire). However, Lincoln was more central to a diocese that stretched from the Thames to the Humber.
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year,[9] two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185 (dated by the BGS as occurring 15 April 1185).[6][10] The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK: it has an estimated magnitude of over 5. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: the Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.[10] Some (Kidson, 1986; Woo, 1991) have suggested that the damage to Lincoln Cathedral was probably exaggerated by poor construction or design; with the actual collapse most probably caused by a vault collapse.[10]
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir (St Hugh's Choir) and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210.[11] The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Lincoln Cathedral soon followed other architectural advances of the time – pointed arches, flying buttresses and ribbed vaulting were added to the cathedral. This allowed support for incorporating larger windows. There are thirteen bells in the south-west tower, two in the north-west tower, and five in the central tower (including Great Tom). Accompanying the cathedral's large bell, Great Tom of Lincoln, is a quarter-hour striking clock. The clock was installed in the early 19th century.[12] The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235. The latter, the Bishop's eye, in the south transept was reconstructed a hundred years later in 1330.[13] A contemporary record, “The Metrical Life of St Hugh”, refers to the meaning of these two windows (one on the dark, north, side and the other on the light, south, side of the building):
"For north represents the devil, and south the Holy Spirit and it is in these directions that the two eyes look. The bishop faces the south in order to invite in and the dean the north in order to shun; the one takes care to be saved, the other takes care not to perish. With these Eyes the cathedral’s face is on watch for the candelabra of Heaven and the darkness of Lethe (oblivion)."
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral, including the rebuilding of the central tower and spire. They replaced the small rounded chapels (built at the time of St Hugh) with a larger east end to the cathedral. This was to handle the increasing number of pilgrims to the Cathedral, who came to worship at the shrine of Hugh of Lincoln.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster Abbey tomb there. The Lincoln tomb's original stone chest survives; its effigy was destroyed in the 17th century and replaced with a 19th-century copy. On the outside of Lincoln Cathedral are two prominent statues often identified as Edward and Eleanor, but these images were heavily restored in the 19th century and they were probably not originally intended to depict the couple.
Between 1307 and 1311 the central tower was raised to its present height of 271 feet (83 m). The western towers and front of the cathedral were also improved and heightened. At this time, a tall lead-encased wooden spire topped the central tower but was blown down in a storm in 1549. With its spire, the tower reputedly reached a height of 525 feet (160 m) (which would have made it the world's tallest structure, surpassing the Great Pyramid of Giza, which held the record for almost 4,000 years). Although there is dissent,[1] this height is agreed by most sources.[14][15][16][17][18] Other additions to the cathedral at this time included its elaborate carved screen and the 14th-century misericords, as was the Angel Choir. For a large part of the length of the cathedral, the walls have arches in relief with a second layer in front to give the illusion of a passageway along the wall. However the illusion does not work, as the stonemason, copying techniques from France, did not make the arches the correct length needed for the illusion to be effective.
In 1398 John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford founded a chantry in the cathedral to pray for the welfare of their souls. In the 15th century the building of the cathedral turned to chantry or memorial chapels. The chapels next to the Angel Choir were built in the Perpendicular style, with an emphasis on strong vertical lines, which survive today in the window tracery and wall panelling.

Improving climate change reporting in the Mediterranean: Science – Media interface
Round Table: The socio-economic and political dimension of climate change in the Mediterranean
11 November 2016
Marrakech, Morocco
Since climate change is a cross boundary issue and involves several fields of action (water, energy, wildlife, biodiversity, climate refugees, social conflicts, biodiversity), the networking developed in the last decades could be seen as a fruitful opportunity to build mitigation and adaptation capacity in the Mediterranean. Understanding the need and urgency to adapt and mitigate this impact is the only way forward to put into practice solutions for the benefit of people and nature.
