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.

Amela manages a traditional guesthouse in Lukomir, the highest and the most isolated mountain settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina at an altitude of 1,495 meters. She and her husband Sanjin also own a tourist agency in Konjic, a hotspot of Via Dinarica. They offer trekking tours, rafting, canoeing and canyoning on the Neretva and Rakitnica Rivers.
The Via Dinarica is a long-distance trail that extends the entire length of the Dinaric Alps, first conceived of by a group of passionate hikers to connect the seven countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo*, and Albania.
The trail’s vision of cross-border cooperation is a healing notion, considering the region’s recent history of conflict.
As the trails developed, UNDP formed a plan in parallel to develop local communities and small businesses to promote hospitality, service and tourism. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the most development has happened, the three trails (1,000 km) run across mountains and wildflower-filled fields, along riverbanks and through quaint villages. It has provided opportunities for locals to promote their guesthouses, cuisine and outdoor activity businesses.

Return to Hatton Station.
My train was due at 14:44, so I had around an hour here.
Hatton railway station takes the name of the village of Hatton in Warwickshire, England, although it is about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the village. The nearest settlement is Little Shrewley. The station is managed by Chiltern Railways.
Hatton is the junction station at which the lines from Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham diverge. The station is unstaffed; ticketing is restricted to a 'Permit-to-Travel' machine located at the single entrance to the station on the London-bound (southbound) platform. There is a small shelter on the southbound platform 1 and also one on the island platform (platform 2 for Birmingham-bound services and platform 3 for stations to Stratford upon Avon which bear to the west immediately north of the station. A footbridge links platform 1 with island platform 2/3).
Each platform at the station is equipped with a real-time electronic information departure screen.
Chiltern Railways trains passing Hatton.

I earlier caught this one from Solihull to Hatton. It was heading to Leamington Spa. I had to wait another 40 minutes before I could get it back to Solihull.

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.

The 3rd Donadea 50KM Ultra Marathon and Irish 50KM Championships were held at Donadea Forest Park, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday, 16th February 2013 at 10:00. The race is an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event. The course is ten loops of the outer loop of the beautiful Coilte managed Donadea Forest Park. Overall this was a fantastic event. There were 107 participants on the start list including 8 runners who have started all of the three Donadea 50KMs held so far. Several runners from the nearby club Donadea Running Club took part. The race was organised by race director Anthony Lee who must be commended on doing a wonderful, professional job on organising this race to the very highest standards. The recent forest thinning works that have been carried out created a little muddy stretch near the hills on the back part of the loop but otherwise the loop (see garmin trace below) is a forest path in very good conditions. The high standard of organisation, the great camaraderie and atmosphere amongst the runners will see this become one of the must-do ultra marathon events in Ireland in years to come. The race was won by Barry Minnock in 3-05 (new course record) and the ladies race was won by Crusaders' Olywn Dunne in 4:01

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible.

Managed to visit the famous ghost town in Lüderitz, abandoned in 1954. Have always wanted to spend some time here, we took part in a tour around the area but only had 20 mins to take photos afterwards. Will def be going back to take some more next time, it's an incredible place. To think people were picking diamonds up off the ground here...
Managed to get a shot of my camera shy boy....YAY!! Isn't he gorgeous!! To get a shot of him like this is soooo rare. He's always turning away from the camera and gets all grumpy or he'll make VERY silly faces. So this is definatley a keeper!!

This is a photograph from the 2nd running of the Donadea Running Club 5KM race in Donadea Forest, Donadea, Staplestown, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Friday 26th of July 2013 at 19:30. This race is part of the North Kildare Summer Running League Series of races. There was great athlete and participant support from the neighbouring clubs of Celbridge, Kilcock, Leixlip, Naas, Newbridge, and beyond. The race route is contained completely in the forest on the trail paths. The 5KM route is ran in a clockwise direction from the coffee shop at the center of the forest. The combination of a warm pleasant July evening and the wonderful surroundings make this a very unique race on the running calendar in this part of Leinster.
Donadea Forest Park is located in north west Co. Kildare close to the border with County Meath. It is about 50 kilometers from Dublin. The forest is now a very mature forest with a vast array of habitats and a lake. It is over 640 acres in size. The Park is managed by Coillte.
Well done to all of the Donadea Running Club and the local community who yet again have organised an excellent event.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Approximately 250 people took part in today's races with runners, joggers, walkers, and families involved.
Weather: This was a warm pleasant summer's evening in the forest. The 19:30 start avoided a very heavy and prolonged shower of rain which made the course a little wet in places.
Course: This is a very well known loop of the Donadea forest. It starts at the coffee shop area near and lake and proceeds on what is locally known as the 'outer' loop of the forest in a clockwise direction. The direction is opposite to that used in the Donadea 10KM and Donadea 50KM races.
Location Map: Start/finish and registration takes place in the center of the forest beside the Castle and Coffee Shop. Google Maps Aerial Imagery here (goo.gl/maps/crBAj)
Refreshments: A great spread of refreshments were provided afterwards in the open area beside the Coffee Shop.

So hard! I managed to break all the locating pins for all the pylons. I ended up cleaning the joins and then tacking them in place with PVA to secure with CA.
The rest was OK, just small and painstaking. I need to do the antennae and a few other things still, but it's close to finished. And not a tail-sitter :)
Somehow managed to get sunburned today...almost impressive apart from the cancer giving quality of it! I am a bit of a slave to the sun though...currently on my reading week and struggling to stay inside while the sun stays out...
This was taken a week ago when we had some brilliant skies, the dust kicked up from all the spring farming activity on the dry land enhanced the golden hours a little and produced lots of rays when the sun went behind clouds :)
