The area has been maintained because of the significance to Newfoundland; the Newfoundland Regiment, which was part of the 88th Infantry Brigade within the 29th Division, attacked here on the 1st of July 1916, and suffered appalling losses.
After the War, Newfoundland purchased this land in 1921, and first it and then the Canadian government (after 1949) have maintained it since as a memorial. It was officially opened in 1925, by Earl Haig. In 1997 it was designated a Canadian National Historic Site.
The statue of the Caribou was chosen for the Memorial, as it was the symbol of the Newfoundland Regiment.
There is a great deal to see within the park, including memorials and cemeteries as well as the preserved trench lines. There is also a visitors centre with information on the Newfoundlanders and also a shop and toilets.
29th Division Memorial
Just inside the entrance to the Park is the memorial to the 29th Division, raised above the level of the park. The monument was unveiled on the 7th of June 1925, with a guard of honour which included men who had served with the 29th in the Great War. This was the same day as the Park itself was opened.
The 29th Division was in action at Gallipoli, before coming to France in April 1916. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment were a part of this Division, and although on the 1st of July, some troops of the 29th Division did reach the village of Beaumont Hamel, they were forced back. The village was not taken until the 13th of November, when the 51st (Highland) Division successfully attacked. There is a memorial to that Division on the other side of the Park
The Newfoundland Caribou: Memorial to the Missing
A little further is the Newfoundland Caribou and the Memorial to the Missing. The caribou was chosen as the symbol for memorials to the Newfoundlanders, and similar statues are also located at a number of other sites on the Western Front where the regiment was in action.
The Caribou and memorial here was unveiled by Lord Haig on a beautiful June day in 1925, and J. R. Bennett, the Newfoundland Colonial Secretary, also gave a speech. Lord Haig toured the park, which in those days was little changed from the war, with barbed wire entanglements, shell holes, rifles and other war debris scattered around.
Just in front of the Caribou are the original 1st of July frontline trenches that the British and Newfoundland troops attacked from. Steps lead up to the Caribou, and the vantage point here is an excellent place to look over the battlefield where the Newfoundlanders fought on the 1st of July, 1916.
The Newfoundland Regiment attacked as part of the second wave, at 9.15 a.m. Within half an hour they had suffered terrible losses, with more than 90% becoming casualties. Set into the stones at the base of the mound on which the caribou stands are three bronze panels listing Newfoundland's missing. The central panel lists the missing of the Newfoundland regiment, whilst the two smaller panels on either side list the naval and mercantile missing.
As you walk through the park and past the Caribou, you can see a few silent pickets (to support barbed wire) in the ground. Immediately after the war, there was a great deal of such war material lying around here, and access to most of the Park was permitted. Today, due to the numbers of visitors, access is limited to a few areas, with electric fences to stop visitors straying beyond these.
The advance here was actually downhill - unlike in many other places on the 1st of July 1916 - but there was no cover, and the advancing troops were met by machine-gun fire. About half-way across No Mans Land is the Danger Tree - a preserved tree, thought to be original, which probably marks about the limit of any Newfoundlanders advance that day.
Maintaining her zen calm despite the puppy's very close proximity. Which reminds me of the calendar my sister-in-law sent for Christmas (she always sends a calendar for Christmas: it's something I look forward to with great anticipation). This year it was of Zen Cats. It was just before the much-heralded arrival of Milo, and we both observed that, curiously enough, there are no calendars of Zen Puppies.
The goal of NATCA’s Professional Standards program is to maintain and promote professionalism across all of NATCA’s bargaining units. NATCA members achieve that through a commitment to safety and through upholding the public’s trust. They work to inspire, to motivate, to provide personal examples of our professionalism to others, and to maintain the highest standard of excellence. They know their actions represent all of their fellow professionals, and we work to bring honor and respect to all that they do. The NATCA National Professional Standards Committee (PSC) created the “NATCA National Professionalism Award” as a means to recognize the actions of those who continually strive to achieve these goals.
NATCA National Professional Standards Workgroup members Chris Keyes, Lydia Baune, and Patrick Carter presented the 2020, 2021, and 2022 winners with NATCA National Professionalism Awards today at #NATCACFS 2022:

The museum maintains a restoration facility at Paine Field in Everett with about 39 ongoing projects including a de Havilland Comet 4 jet airliner, a Jetstar, and the Boeing 2707 mockup, among many.
The Museum of Flight is a private non-profit air and space museum in the Seattle metropolitan area. It is located at the southern end of King County International Airport (Boeing Field) in the city of Tukwila, immediately south of Seattle. It was established in 1965 and is fully accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. As the largest private air and space museum in the world, it also hosts the world's largest K-12 educational programs.
The museum attracts over 500,000 visitors every year, and also serves more than 140,000 students annually through its onsite programs: a Challenger Learning Center, an Aviation Learning Center, and a summer camp (ACE), as well as outreach programs that travel throughout Washington and Oregon.
The Museum of Flight can trace its roots back to the Pacific Northwest Aviation Historical Foundation, which was founded in 1965 to recover and restore a 1929 Boeing 80A-1, which had been discovered in Anchorage, Alaska. The restoration took place over a 16-year period, and after completion, was put on display as a centerpiece for the museum. In 1968, the name "Museum of Flight" first appeared in use in a 10,000-square-foot facility, rented at the Seattle Center. Planning began at this time for a more permanent structure, and preliminary concepts were drafted.
In 1975, The William E. Boeing Red Barn was acquired for one dollar from the Port of Seattle, which had taken possession of it after Boeing abandoned it during World War II. The 1909 all-wooden Red Barn, the original home of the company, was barged two miles (3 km) up the Duwamish River to its current location at the southwestern end of Boeing Field. Fundraising was slow in the late 1970s, and after restoration, the two-story Red Barn was opened to the public in 1983.
That year a funding campaign was launched, so capital could be raised for construction of the T.A. Wilson Great Gallery. In 1987, Vice President George Bush, joined by four Mercury astronauts, cut the ribbon to open the facility on July 10, with an expansive volume of 3,000,000 cubic feet (85,000 m3). The gallery's structure is built in a space frame lattice structure and holds more than 20 hanging aircraft, including a Douglas DC-3 weighing more than nine tons.

This was much more attractive when I first photographed in 2016 and when I photographed it last year it did not look great but at least it was still a water feature. I do appreciate that because of the current heatwave there may be a shortage of water but I suspect that it is not being maintained.
One thing that I have noticed in Ireland is that water features are never properly maintained and eventually they become non-water features.
In 1999, artist Tina O’Connell was commissioned to re-create a fountain on the same site as where there had been a Victorian style tiered fountain which had fallen into disrepair. Thus Tina's contemporary sculpture is also a fully functioning fountain. After an extended period of research into the materials and of development 'In-Visible' was finally sited and fully installed in 2002.
‘In-Visible’ (2001) is a contemporary sculpture incorporating a water feature. Inspired by the connection between Waterford City and the world famous Waterford Glass industry, O'Connell's work consists of a very large transparent acrylic sphere (2 metres in diameter), over which clear running water continuously flows, and which is positioned on a large, circular platform made from black Kilkenny marble [must have been removed]. The work has been referred to locally as the ‘Orb Fountain’.

AWDREY was designed, built and maintained by the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston. The system was designed to detect the blast of a nuclear explosion through the registering of the initial and subsequent intense flash generated by the explosion either by the electro-magnetic pulse that the explosion generates or from the flash generated by the blast. From these effects, an estimate the nuclear devices power (yield) could be determined.
The units were not located at all Group Controls, but were located far enough apart that a simultaneous response on two AWDREY units could only be registered as a nuclear explosion and not be triggered from a lightning strike which would generally affect only one AWDREY. A further machine called DIADEM (Direction Indicator of Atomic Detonation by Electronic Means) worked with AWDREY and enabled the identification of the likely bearing of the explosion.
ROC post bomb detection instruments such as the Bomb Power Indicator (BPI) operated by recording the pressure of the blast wave from any nearby nuclear explosion. Any ultra-high-altitude nuclear explosion, designed to knock out the UK's communications and electronic equipment would not produce a detectable blast wave and the AWDREY system was therefore the only method of identifying these bursts
built in 1961 to monitor nuclear explosions and fallout in Yorkshire, in the event of nuclear war.
One of about 30 around the United Kingdom, the building was used throughout its operational existence as the regional headquarters and control centre for the Royal Observer Corps's No. 20 Group YORK between 1961 and 1991. It has become an English Heritage Scheduled Monument and was opened in 2006 by English Heritage as a tourist attraction.
During its Cold War operational period, the building could have supported 60 local volunteer members of the Royal Observer Corps, inclusive of a ten-man United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation scientific warning team. They would have collated details of nuclear bombs exploded within the UK and tracked radioactive fallout across the Yorkshire region, warning the public of its approach. This example of an ROC control building is the only one that is preserved in its operational condition. The others stand derelict or have either been demolished or sold. A few have been converted to other uses, like No. 16 Group Shrewsbury that is now a veterinary clinic, another is a recording studio, two are satellite and communications control centres, and one is a solicitor's file storage facility.
The fully restored building contains air filtration and generating plant, kitchen and canteen, dormitories, radio and landline communication equipment and specialist 1980s computers and a fully equipped operations room with vertical illuminated perspex maps.OOK

Bangor bash Barban boys
by Roger Corbett
On a perfect afternoon for rugby, Bangor maintained their good winning streak by recording another bonus point victory against Dromore, eventually winning by 38-17.
With Bangor and Dromore looking secure in 3rd and 4th places respectively in the league, this game could have been viewed as a dead fixture. However, with Dromore no doubt wanting to reverse their earlier defeat, and Bangor wanting to maximise their points tally, the game was certainly competitive.
Bangor got proceedings underway, playing into a slight breeze that was blowing diagonally across the pitch. From the outset, Dromore used this slight advantage to gain good ground through well taken positional kicks. However, were equally happy to run the ball back and produced several good attacks in reply. In fact the home side could have been a couple of scores up in the first quarter, but the ball didn’t run for them at the crucial moments. However, the breakthrough eventually came when the handling across the backs was crisp and secure, giving Neil Cuthbertson on the right wing the opportunity to stretch his legs and dive over in the corner for a well-taken try. The difficult kick was missed, but the scoreboard had started in Bangor’s favour by 5-0.
The next twenty minutes were almost a copy of the first quarter, with Bangor making most of the attacking opportunities, only to be thwarted by a stubborn Dromore defence. For Dromore’s part, they also had their chances, and came close from a kick through that Cuthbertson managed to shepherd into the goal area and get the resulting twenty two drop-out. However, a slack response by Bangor handed the initiative back to Dromore who, after several surges, managed to push over for their first try in the right hand corner, levelling the scores at 5-5 with just a minute or two left in the first half.
Bangor’s reply from the restart was immediate and in complete contrast to how they approached the previous drop-out. Mark Thompson’s kick hung in the breeze, allowing Jamie Clegg to leap for it and continue running at the static Dromore defence. He then passed inside to Jason Morgan who then passed again to Mike Weir at outside centre. Although Weir had the option of Cuthbertson on the wing, he fooled the Dromore defence and made a charge for the line, just managing to squeeze over in the right hand corner. The conversion was missed, making the score 10-5.
With 2 minutes of stoppage time having elapsed, there was just enough time for Dromore to restart once more. However, another apparent lapse in concentration by Bangor in securing and then clearing the ball, allowed Dromore to come straight back and score an opportunist try in the corner and level the points at 10-10. As the referee blew for half time, the home supporters were stunned, feeling their side should have been well in front by this time.
As the teams turned around, Bangor produced their now familiar second half surge. Within 5 minutes, a good break by James Henly was stopped just inside the Dromore twenty two. Although the ball went to ground, good support play by Curtis Stewart saw him pick up and run through to score under the posts. Cuthbertson’s kick was good, and Bangor were back in front by 17-10.
An injury to full back Chris Morgan resulted in changes to both the forward and backs line-up, with Adam Rushe coming off the bench to take James Henly’s wing forward position, allowing Henly to move to outside centre, and moving Mike Weir to full back as a result. There followed a brief period of settling to this new structure, before Bangor struck again. Seeing a flat Dromore defence ahead of him, Jason Morgan chipped over their heads and began the chase for the line. The ball bounced favourably for him, and he just managed to gather and touch down ahead of the nearest defender. The kick was successful extending the lead to 24-10, and now with the additional bonus point.
Although Dromore maintained their own pressure, it was Bangor who were calling most of the shots. Just 7 minutes later, the ball went wide to Mark Widdowson on the left wing whose pace and footwork left several Dromore players floundering, before darting through to score under the posts. The addition of the simple conversion brought the score to 31-10.
With only 5 minutes remaining, Dromore produced a late push and brought play deep into Bangor’s twenty two. Although Dromore won their scrum close to Bangor’s line, it looked like Bangor had the attack covered. However a defensive mix-up left a gap that provided a simple run through for Dromore to score beside the posts. With the successful conversion, the gap had closed to 31-17.
Obviously annoyed by this mistake, Bangor came back at Dromore, forcing the visitors to concede a penalty inside their twenty two. Spurning the kick at goal, Thompson kicked for touch and an attacking line-out. With the ball safely won, Bangor started to drive forward, but the strong Dromore pack held it up. However, the ball was quickly recycled by Ricky Armstrong to Mark Thompson, who then passed to Jason Morgan who pushed off his tackler to score the final try of the day and, with the conversion, bring the final score to 38-17.
This was a good day for North Down sides playing Mid Down opposition. Bangor’s success against Dromore was matched by neighbours Donaghadee who produced an inspired performance to beat Ballynahinch 2nds and earn a place in this year’s Towns Cup final as a result – congratulations to all.
Bangor’s final fixture in this year’s league is away to Cooke next Saturday. The weekend is then topped off on Sunday afternoon with what should be a highly entertaining game between the Perennials and a Bangor Select XV. With several familiar faces from seasons past, this is sure to be a fun event, and one to come along and enjoy.

During daytime, the buildings along the banks of the Tuojiang River reveal the ancient features maintained till these days. The river is a life line of the old town, people washing clothes, vegetables, and many more in the river just like ancient times. Life has not changed for Centuries here though other parts of China were modernized and transformed in lightning speeds.
This is a ‘River of life’ for the mainly Miao, Tujia minorities & Han people inhabiting Fenghuang with Hongqiao (Rainbow Bridge) spanning over it

Phoenix Ancient Town 鳳凰古城 Fenghuang Ancient Town Hunan China -
Fenghuang County is divided into two districts: New Town and Ancient Town. Fenghuang Ancient Town’s history can be dated back to Spring and Autumn Periods (770 BC to 476BC). The presenting Fenghuang Ancient Town was built in the 43 year of the Reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dunasty (1704), where the ancient houses built on stilts (Tiaojiao House ) in distinct Qing Dynasty style are well preserved along the river banks. Fenghuang is also an ethnic minority group area with Miao ethnic minority takes the predominance - a long history of over 300 culture heritages.
Because of its unique geographical location, Fenghuang never suffered from the destruction of any natural disaster or suffered invasion from any wars. The isolated town of Fenghuang did not suffer occupation from Japanese invastion. In 1949 and was peacefully liberated.
In the following 50 years, Fenghuang was spared any large-scale construction that occurred around China. As the people of Fenghuang cherish their valuable heritage, the local government has conducted strict control over all construction, continuing the preservation and the authenticity of the ancient town.

Maintaining communications on all parts of a fire is vital for firefighter safety and for operations on the fire. In this photo, Communications Technician Brad Nelson performs maintenance on an overland network repeater. These repeaters help to extend coverage of the radio system on a fire.
Good sites for repeaters are high points with good lines of sight over the fire area. Maintenance work on these repeaters includes adding solar panels and deep cycle batteries. Technicians often access these repeaters via helicopter due to their remote locations. On the 416 Fire, there are currently a total of ten repeaters.
Thanks to Jacob Welsh for the photos.

In the Teso region of Uganda, Cordaid and partner organization SOCADIDO support female farmers who struggle to maintain their livelihood because of climate change, land depletion or a lack of tools and agricultural knowledge. Cordaid and SOCADIDO provide seeds, tools, technology and training.
The program started in August 2017 and has been implemented in 9 sub-counties in Teso and supports 9000 farmers in total. The main objectives are threefold: increase food production, reduce post-harvest losses and improve access to finance for the farmers.
Each participating farmer received 2 kilograms of seeds, mainly black-eyed peas, corn and vegetables like cassava and potato, which they plant in a plot of land of about one acre.
All 9000 participating farmers are put into groups of 30. The 300 farming groups are trained on harvest loss reduction, how to organize savings and credit and improve economic activities.
Each sub-county also has a marketing association. That is where the farmers collect their produce reserved for the market after they put aside all they need for their own consumption. The farmers get paid per kilogram of product sold. The association connects the sellers and buyers.
"The problem was that they had a poor bargaining position and often had to sell their products for a bad price", says Tom Edul, Program Coordinator for the Female Farmers Deserve Better program. "As a group, the farmers are much stronger and better equipped to improve their income."
Another vital factor in raising the value of their products is the possibility to save the harvests for a longer time. In some cases, the time of year greatly determines the price of the products. By providing the farmers with special bags, called PICS bags, fruits and vegetables can be saved for months. Now they can wait for the right time to sell and get a much better price.
The successful project is about to end in a few months, but SOCADIDO is eager to extend and expand. Edul: "We really want to continue. The results are great, and we have really made a difference in the lives of these farmers. Our methods of distributing PICS bags, providing tarpaulins for drying the harvest, which increases the quality of the produce, and the implementation of irrigation systems, are unique in this region. The farmers truly appreciate our efforts and they now have the confidence and courage to sell their products on the markets for a reasonable price. They can sustain themselves and even grow their businesses."
The Hancock Meeting house is jointly owned and maintained by the Town of Hancock and the First Congregational Church. Town offices are on the first floor and the church sanctuary is on the second floor. Architecturally, it is considered one of the finest examples of New Hampshire’s Federal-style churches and was designed by Peter Benes of Boston. The Meeting House was originally built in 1820 and moved to its present site in 1850. A noteworthy feature of this meetinghouse is the ornate, four-stage tower.
The Town of Hancock is located in south-central NH and is named after John Hancock, one of the signer's of the Declaration of Independence. John Hancock lived in the village that is now named after him. First incorporated in 1779, the town currently has about 1750 residents.
Chukmuk Guatemala. The town was built to house the residents of Panabaj after the entire community was wiped out by a landslide in 2005. The refugee camp has been terribly under maintained by the Guatemalan government and many of the residents have been leaving in search of work elsewhere.

I love crazy golf, and playing Seafront Mini Golf was an absolute pleasure - kudos to those who run it as it is a really well maintained course.
And there was even a hole with a proper windmill obstacle - ace.
