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. ;-)
Managed to pull ourselves away from the Dark peak today for something a bit different,An excellent walk taking in the Cromford canal,Cromford moor,Wirksworth,Middleton top,returning via the High peak trail via Black rocks.

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.

There had been some discussion, prior to NEMF, about photographing the specimens. After speaking with Bill Yule about it, I conducted an experiment, a run at shooting as many samples as I could. I managed to photograph all the specimens that had been identified from Friday morning’s forays, only stopping when the afternoon foray samples started to come in, at which point I was ready to collapse anyway.
So here is what I did:
I came in to set up somewhere between 9:30 and 10:00 AM. I had a small table, a tripod with an attachment for my iPhone (4s, if that matters, point is, a state-of-the-art model is not necessary) that is pretty much the same spring-loaded holder you get on a selfie stick. I had two lights, just little gooseneck bedside clamp lamps from IKEA. The light was yellow, but one can correct these things in one fell swoop. If needed, better lights can be acquired.
I put the lamps, one on each side, on the backs of chairs spaced a little ways away from my table. I had also brought tuff-spun and other diffusion materials and even a blue gel, but decided against using them. The point here is speed and ease. Quick and dirty is fine as long as the visual data is captured. There is no point in developing a system if it is not feasible.
I brought a roll of gaffer’s tape. (Yeah, my lights were crap, but I had the good tape.) Once things are positioned the legs of the table and tripod and light stands (chairs) are taped down and the tripod is taped to the table. If the power cords are in traffic areas, they should also be taped down for safety and to secure the set up. As my iPhone is elderly, I keep it plugged into to the power, and this was taped up the leg of the tripod. The longer you shoot, the more tired you get, the more likely you are to knock into things, so this is helpful.
I had a plastic mat with a grid on it as a background, but did not use it because it was a dark green. I ended up stealing some cardboard boxes that had held envelopes from the office supplies; the insides were a bit closer to the 18% gray that would have been ideal. Grid not so necessary, but I did miss the ease of cleaning the plastic mat. The optimal background material in the future would be around 18% and a non-reflective plastic. Some mushrooms were wet and left marks on the plastic. The dirt brushed off easily with a small terrycloth rag.
The photo station was set up next to the door. I photographed samples after they had been IDed, usually after the printed labels had been made. But in order to keep up with the volume of specimens, I kept working when Teague & Dorothy & everyone else had gone to the meeting. At that time I photographed specimens that had been IDed, but not yet entered into the system. In any event, I was photographing the mushrooms with their hand-printed data labels as these were smaller and contained more information.
Such mushrooms photographed before being entered were replaced in the queue. As soon as specimens were photographed and labeled, they were put on trays to be moved to the display room. (Often I ended up moving them when a tray was filled and I was waiting on new mushrooms to shoot.)
I had NOT photographed mushroom samples like this before, so I am sure I was doing a lot of wheel re-invention. So I was, and am, open to suggestions in this context. One of the attendees who had clearly done mushroom photography before was put off by my rough & ready set up because of the obvious shadows. This, I take it, goes against the common aesthetic conventions of mushroom photography. But I was not taking beauty shots. And aesthetics are largely fashion. Shadows define form and texture. Form and texture are data, so I wanted shadows. Well, enough shadows to provide information, not to obscure information.
I shot hard for about five hours and then I was TOAST. I ain’t as young as I used to be. To do this on a convention scale, a team of shooters would be optimal. Moreover, I would like to have two photo stations set up so I could have one dedicated to shooting macro. iPhone macro adapters are the way to go, IMO.
As it was I had two levels. Most mushrooms I shot on a box, but for the larger ones to fit in the frame I removed the box. This dropped the surface down about five inches and allowed larger mushrooms to fit into the frame.
To set up a shot I would place the label under the camera. I tried to put them roughly in the same position each time. Some were crumpled. Flattening them wasted time. Optimally I would have set up a label-sized piece of non-reflective glass or plastic on the background, hinged with a bit of gaffer’s tape. This would have solved the positioning issues nicely.
The samples were removed from their boats (looking at them all day long left me with a terrible craving for fried clams, or at least French fries) by hand so as to leave most of the dirt in the boat. A few specimens I had to brush off. Mostly I did not bother. Probably the largest chunk of time was spent positioning. If I had more time, I would have split more caps in order to show top and bottom surfaces. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to split stems/stalks/stipes (whatever you call ‘em) when there are multiple specimens at hand.
I had selected a table height under the assumption that I would be sitting. Absurd. No time to sit. I was moving constantly from table to table moving specimens. The angle made the whole thing a bit physically punishing. I won’t make that mistake again! Ergonomics are key!
A strong suggestion for future foray photo inventories is to shoot the wee tiny ‘shrooms first. I got photos, albeit not macros, of the Mycenas and what all. But they were so dehydrated by the time I got them that they were worthless. On the bright side, this meant I didn’t feel so bad about not having macro capability. But even with a splendid macro set up, if the specimens look like shit, there’s not point. So a bit of a presort has to happened wherein the teeny tinies and the fragile stuff are bumped to the front of the queue.
And the iPhone is frickin’ brilliant for this. I love cameras. I’ve done a lot with point & shoots. I like nice fancy DSLRs as well, but they are not necessary for this sort of project. More than that, a real camera would be a hassle. The iPhone has the memory, the software, the touch screen and it fits in a pocket. It makes all of this feasible. A few tweaks to the set up and it will go very smoothly next time. If there were two shooters, it would be easy, a piece of cake.
The photos are not art shots, but they show the specimens. Not a bad first try, I think. Are these beautiful? Maybe not so much. Still, like my Dad used to always tell us, “Good enough is better than the best!”

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.

Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park.[1] The house is the largest in Cheshire,[2] and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[3]
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni's work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[a] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.
The land now occupied by Lyme Park was granted to Piers Legh and his wife Margaret D'anyers, by letters patent dated January 4, 1398, by Richard II, son of the Black Prince. Margaret D'anyers' grandfather, Sir Thomas D'anyers, had taken part in retrieving the standard of the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, and was rewarded with annuity of 40 marks a year by the Black Prince, drawn on his Cheshire estate, and which could be exchanged for land of that value belonging to the Black Prince. Sir Thomas died in 1354, and the annuity passed to his nearest surviving kin, his granddaughter Margaret, who in 1388 married the first Piers Legh (Piers Legh I). Richard II favoured Piers and granted his family a coat of arms in 1397, and the estate of Lyme Handley in 1398 redeeming the annuity. However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke.[6]
When in 1415 Sir Piers Legh II was wounded in the Battle of Agincourt, his mastiff stood over and protected him for many hours through the battle. The mastiff was later returned to Legh's home and was the foundation of the Lyme Hall Mastiffs. They were bred at the hall and kept separate from other strains, figuring prominently in founding the modern breed. The strain died out around the beginning of the 20th century.[7][8]
The first record of a house on the site is in a manuscript folio dated 1465, but that house was demolished when construction of the present building began during the life of Piers Legh VII, in the middle of the 16th century.[5] This house, by an unknown designer, was L-shaped in plan with east and north ranges; piecemeal additions were made to it during the 17th century. In the 1720s Giacomo Leoni, an architect from Venice, added a south range to the house creating a courtyard plan, and made other changes.[3] While he retained some of its Elizabethan features, many of his changes were in a mixture of Palladian and Baroque styles.[2] During the latter part of the 18th century Piers Legh XIII bought most of the furniture which is in the house today. However, the family fortunes declined and the house began to deteriorate. In the early 19th century the estate was owned by Thomas Legh, who commissioned Lewis Wyatt to restore the house between 1816 and 1822. Wyatt's alterations were mainly to the interior, where he remodelled every room.[9] Leoni had intended to add a cupola to the south range but this never materialised.[10] Instead, Wyatt added a tower-like structure (a hamper) to provide bedrooms for the servants. He also added a one-storey block to the east range, containing a dining-room.[2] Later in the century William Legh, 1st Baron Newton, added stables and other buildings to the estate, and created the Dutch Garden.[9] Further alterations were made to the gardens by Thomas Legh, 2nd Baron Newton and his wife during the early 20th century.[11] In 1946 Richard Legh, 3rd Baron Newton, gave Lyme Park to the National Trust.wikipedia
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.

Session 5: Managing Capital Flows
This session will focus on the challenges in the region associated with the normalization of U.S. and other advanced economy monetary conditions, including ongoing and possible spillovers to Asia, appropriate policies to be implemented by spillover-receiving countries, and the possible role for international policy coordination in ameliorating the negative impact of volatile capital flows. Key themes to be addressed include: How EM policy makers can prepare for / cope with financial volatility associated with asynchronous AE monetary policy stances. Experience with macroprudential policies and their potential role in managing capital flows. Regional insurance mechanisms, and their role in containing contagion from financial turbulence. Past experience of the IMF in facilitating coordination of macro-financial policies among key economies and possible ways forward.

Nice to see the Tour de France in London today. Parliament Square was packed out but managed to see a few riders zip by. The crowds were interesting to photograph and managed a highish viewpoint, all suited and booted so not too easy! First panorama on my iPhone, not too bad.
I managed to find this brand new Matchbox 1936 Ford Coupe in a Tesco store where most of the new Case C mix had already been picked through. Quite a heavy and ungainly looking casting, just like the real car judging by pics i've seen of it, but very weighty feeling and beautifully finished. Mint and boxed.

Each year, MTV manages to create, or come across, some special moment of insanity at of the VMAs. Britney's botched comeback, Lil' Kim's boob meeting Diana Ross, Justin Timberlake dissing The hills 1-6 (and encouraging MTV to play more music videos).
We will be on the lookout for this year's crazy, and will live-tweet the night beginning with red carpet arrivals at 8/7c with the hash tag VMAs. Here are five crazy-yet-totally plausible things that might makethis year's show:
Justin Bieber debuts a new 'do. We already know he's planning an "epic" rendition of his hit "Baby." (It likely won't be nearly as awesome as the slow-mo version.) What would really be something is if he changed up his signature floppy mop, already copped by many a lesbian. It might happen: He's already branching out into acting, and he'd be a lot more versatile with no distraction of the silky smooth bangs. Plus, he's gone hairless before.Much more likely? A live collaboration with his new love, which would not be a bad alternative by any means.

The Ueno Zoo (恩賜上野動物園 Onshi Ueno Dōbutsuen?) is a zoo, managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and located in Taito, Tokyo, Japan. It is Japan's oldest and most famous zoo, opened on March 20, 1882. It is a five-minute walk from the Park Exit of Ueno Station, with convenient access from Tokyo's public-transportation network. The Ueno Zoo Monorail, the first monorail in the country, connects the eastern and western parts of the grounds.
The zoo is located within Ueno Park, a large urban park that is home to several museums, a small amusement park, and other attractions.
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
[edit]Other animals
The zoo is also often home to zebras, Japanese macaques, red-crowned cranes, White-tailed eagles and King Penguins, along with goats, sheep, pigs, ostriches, and rabbits.
