Managed to get some missing family members into this shot...also the roses
are significant...the Pink rose is one of my Mom's, the Orange and Pink is
one my Dad had, and the Flame Lily was one of Susy's flowers that she
planted here...none of them were supposed to be in flower at this time of
the year, and each one "presented" themselves yesterday!

I thought I would see how I managed getting about on my own with my one hand.. I surprised myself. It was great walking around the city again. There was a lot to see because of the RISE festival.
December 22, 2013, Christchurch CBD New Zealand.
Street artists armed with spray cans and paint rollers are coming to the rescue of Christchurch's struggling suburbs and city centre. Dozens of large artworks have been created on walls across the city this month with many more going up this week.
The RISE street-art festival has commissioned a dozen large street-art paintings in the city centre, while the From the Ground Up project has organised about 16 large artworks in the city centre and Sydenham. Christchurch business owners and city leaders believe street art will help regenerate areas hit hard by the earthquakes and draw tourists to the city.
Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce chief executive Peter Townsend said street art adds ''a whole new dimension'' to what the city offered.
"Putting street art in significant places in our city has the potential to make Christchurch unique,'' he said.
''It can create a real point of difference for a city and transform otherwise ugly buildings into an asset for the city.''
RISE festival director George Shaw said vibrant street art changed the feel of a city.
''If you paint amazing art on blank walls it brightens everything up and makes the place feel relevant and alive.
''That is desperately needed in cities across the world and especially in Christchurch.''
From the Ground Up organiser Jacob Ryan said about 20 New Zealand artists had created artwork in the city for the project.
''We wanted to get the city going again and make Christdhchurch a more interesting place. The aim was to brighten up the city. It has a real impact on this scale. Christchurch is the perfect canvas.''
Sydenham Quarter chairman Anthony Barker said street art had brightened his quake-hit suburb and attracted shoppers.
The business association helped get permission for street artists to use walls in Sydenham for the From the Ground Up festival.
The RISE festival also includes a major street-art exhibition at the Canterbury Museum opening tomorrow. The exhibition will feature one of the largest private collections of Banksy artworks in the world, work by international and local street artists, and new work by Australian artist Ian Strange.

In 1907 the Commercial Managing Director, Mr Claude Johnson (often described as the hyphen in "Rolls-Royce"), ordered a car to be used as a demonstrator by the company. With chassis no. 60551 and registered AX 201, it was the 12th 40/50 hp to be made, and was painted in aluminium paint with silver-plated fittings. The car was named the "Silver Ghost" to emphasise its ghost-like quietness, and a plaque bearing this name adorned the bulkhead. An open-top body by coachbuilder Barker was fitted, and the car readied for the Scottish reliability trials of 1907 and, immediately afterwards, another 15,000-mile (24,000 km) test which included driving between London and Glasgow 27 times.
The aim was to raise public awareness of the new company and to show the reliability and quietness of their new car. This was a risky idea: cars of this time were notoriously unreliable, and roads of the day could be horrendous. Nevertheless, the car set off on trials, and with press aboard, broke record upon record. Even after 7,000 miles (11,000 km), the cost to service the car was a negligible £2 2s 7d (£2.13). The reputation of the 40/50, and Rolls-Royce, was established.
The 1911 Rolls-Royce was a notable car for a variety of reasons. Not the least of these was the introduction of the renowned Rolls-Royce mascot—the "Spirit of Ecstasy" hood ornament. This identifiable mascot—the longest-lived mascot ever used—was created in 1911 by noted English sculptor, Charles Sykes. It is said that Lord Montagu’s secretary, a Miss Thornton, posed as a model for the winged figure, although no proof of this exists. In fact, the figure more closely resembles the artist himself. So pleased were company officials with the mascot that in 1920 they entered it into a world competition in Paris and won first prize. The first automobile graced with the elegant Spirit of Ecstasy mascot was a 1911 Rolls-Royce. And this symbol of elegance and excellence was perfectly suited. The 1911 Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp automobile (Tourer designated the body type) was innovative in a variety of ways. One was the “Slipper Flywheel,” a device which took the form of a friction-disc clutch and flywheel mounted at the front of the crankshaft. The “Slipper Flywheel” became a standard component of Rolls-Royce motorcoaches from 1911 to the present day. Yet Rolls-Royce’s success was not based on innovation—the history of automobiles is filled with radical innovations that fell by the wayside. Instead, Rolls-Royce concentrated on details. Meticulous attention was paid to every aspect of construction: gears were cut to finer accuracy than anywhere in the world; more skilled workmen than in other factories were employed; and only the finest bodies from the finest coachbuilders were fitted onto the Rolls-Royce chassis. The result was an automobile that rode more smoothly with less trouble than any car of its time.

During the genocidal war against the 98% Kosovar Albanian population by Slobodan Milošević when NATO took action. I, along with small contingent of native and foreign aid workers, delivered supplies to the border via the northern Albanian town of Kukës. We had to deal with mafia, rebel fighters, NGOs, countless international news reporters, and of course, and shadowy figures pushing American interests. The refugees were wonderful. We were almost killed both on the way north in the morning and that night on the way back to Tirana. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. WEBSITE

As of March, 2003, the zoo has 422 species. The Sumatran tiger, and western lowland gorilla head the list of the zoo's population. Ueno has most variety of species on exhibition than any other zoo in Japan.
At some point, redistribution of the animals among Tokyo's other zoos (including Tama Zoo and Inokashira Nature Park) left Ueno without a lion. However, in response to public demand, Ueno borrowed a female from the Yokohama Municipal Zoo
As of 2008, recent animals at the Ueno Zoo included:
Giant panda (Ling Ling, Ueno's only giant panda, died of chronic heart failure on April 30, 2008, leaving Ueno Zoo without a panda for the first time since 1972.)[1] China has agreed to lend a male and female to Ueno[2].
A Lesser panda (also known as the Red Panda)
Other animals have included the Sumatran tiger the Asiatic lion, the Western lowland gorilla, the Polar bear, the Asian elephant, the Reticulated Giraffe. and the White rhinoceros

I managed to visit Strath Tay twice in May, although the second trip was to taken to visit Glen Lyon so we had to pass through to get there. After driving over the Logierait Viaduct for the fun of it, a short storm passed over and almost as soon as the rain stopped, we spotted this rainbow spanning the valley.
I pulled over as soon as I could in order to photograph this one off, special scene, racing to the boot to grab my camera before it disappeared. Thankfully, this rainbow hung around for a good ten minutes, allowing me plenty of time to take photos of it. Thankfully, this time allowed me to compose a panorama which better frames the rainbow in context with the landscape.
Coincidentally, you can see the line of the former Aberfeldy Branch Railway in the foreground. Even on a photo that's about the Scottish landscape, I still manage to sneak an old railway line into it. I have a lot of photos from Glen Lyon to upload over the next week. The weather was varied, exciting and and helped enhance the atmosphere of glen. This rainbow was just an introduction and warm welcome to the day that lay ahead.

This is a stage-managed science lesson being given to the tour group at P'yongyang's massive People's Grand Study Hall. The teacher just kept repeating "앞/되" (front/back) and it was intended to show off the fancy TV monitors. The TVs seem a bit like overkill in that the students aren't seated all that far from the prof. ;-)
Manage a last swim Saturday morning before Hurricane Irene hits and the Y closes. As the rain gets steadily heavier, the pool empties until I'm the last person swimming, until the life guard pulls of her wet sweats and dives in. After a few laps we pause for breath together, laughing like two people swimming in torrential rain with a hurricane approaching, "Nice day for a swim". And then she closes the pool.

Frank Place, Senior Research Fellow, CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM)
In 2015-16, the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment commissioned a set of studies to document the adoption and impact of five well-recognized natural resource practices that were developed, adapted, and promoted by CGIAR centers, research programs and its partners. The practices—conservation agriculture, fertilizer tree systems, alternate wetting and drying (AWD), integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), and micro-dosing of fertilizer—were all expected to enjoy large-scale acceptance among smallholder farmers where they were promoted in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Results have landed and they are sobering. The low adoption rates reported by these studies provide an important reality check on the returns to some natural resources management (NRM) research investments, and suggests the need to rethink the impact pathways through which NRM research is expected to contribute to sustainable development outcomes—outcomes that nonetheless depend acutely on changes in the way we manage scarce natural resources.
This policy seminar provides insights from economics, integrated landscape strategies, and geospatial analytics to recommend ways forward for NRM research that most effectively contribute to the development of sustainable production systems, while also highlighting innovative methods and tools to evaluate adoption and impact more precisely.
