This was the first time that we all managed to go on a vacation together. The 7 of us hopped in a van and drove from Houston to Orlando and spent 7 days enjoying all that Disney and Universal had to offer. It was an amazing trip. www.mikevictorick.com

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.

El Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area (16/05/2006)
The El Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area is located on the north-western tip of the mainland of Palawan. In 1991, the Government of the Philippines proclaimed Bacuit Bay as a marine reserve. In 1998, the protected area was expanded to include terrestrial ecosystems and portions of the municipality of Taytay. It is now known as El Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area, which covers over 36,000 hectares of land and 54,000 hectares of marine waters. It contains towering limestone cliffs, beaches, mangroves, clear waters, unique forests over limestone and neat farmlands. It is home to five (5) species of mammals, including the Malayan Pangolin and 16 bird species endemic to Palawan including the threatened Palawan Peacock Pheasant, the Palawan Hornbill and Palawan Scops Owl. Bacuit bay is also home to the dugong, dolphins and marine turtles, many of which are threatened species. Colorful coral reef fishes are found here. Some of these are the: butterflyfishes, parrotfishes, wrasses, triggerfishes, angelfishes, surgeonfishes, damsel fishes, emperors,snappers, groupers and rabbit fishes.
In 1984, the then Ministry of Natural Resources issued a MNR Administrative Order No 518 establishing a 36, 000 hectare area in North-western Palawan as a Marine Turtle Sanctuary The El Nido Marine Reserve was expanded by virtue of DENR Administrative Order No. 14 Series of 1992, upon recommendations of the El Nido and Taytay Municipal Mayors to address livelihood opportunities for fishers. Proclamation No. 32 dated October 8, 1998 was passed to Congress for deliberation. Since 1989, several different government and non-government programs and projects have been introduced in the area.
Manage me I'm a mess
Turn a page, I'm a book
Half unread
I wanna be laughed at
Laughed with, just because
I wanna feel weightless
And that should be enough
Well I'm stuck in this fucking rut
Waiting on a second hand pick me up
And I'm over, getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over, getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here
Make believe that I impress
That every word
By design
Turns a head
I wanna feel reckless
I wanna live it up, just because
I wanna feel weightless
Cause that would be enough
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over, getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here
This could be all that I've waited for
(Waited, I've waited for)
And this could be everything
I don't wanna dream anymore
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonnna be my year
And I've been going crazy
I'm stuck in here
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year(it's gonna be my year)
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere(go nowhere)
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear(everything I fear)
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here
Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is a temple complex in Bhuj, Kutch district, Gujarat which is managed by Nar Narayan Dev Gadi of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, a sect of Hinduism. The inauguration ceremony of the temple held from 15 to 23 May 2010.
An earthquake on 26 January 2001 shattered most parts of the city of Bhuj, including the original Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Bhuj built by Lord Swaminarayan in 1824. To replace this, the new temple is built of only marble and gold. The throne for the idol of Swaminarayan, the temple domes and doors are made of gold while the pillars and ceilings are made of marble. The original central deity images of Nar Narayan and Swaminarayan in the form of Hari Krishna were moved from the old temple to the new one along with those of Radha Krishna, Swaminarayan in the form of Ghanshyam and Sukh Shaiya and others.
The new temple was built at a cost of 1 billion Indian rupees on 20,000 m2 of land. Made in marbe, intricate carvings adorn the pillars and ceiling of the most expensive temple built in the Indian state of Gujarat recently.
A large number of people to attended the opening ceremony of the temple including those from overseas, including from United Kingdom and various parts of Africa. According to an estimate by a member of the Bhuj Hoteliers' Association, as of October 2009, 75% of the hotel rooms in Bhuj had been booked for the period during which the opening ceremony is scheduled to take place. To manage influx of vehicles, Jubilee ground and Khasda ground, the two biggest grounds in Bhuj will be used for parking arrangements. Temple authorities are expecting around 500,000 visitors during this period.
A 3-D film, the first of its kind on the life and teachings of Swaminarayan titled 'Sahajanand' was screened as a part of the opening celebrations of the temple. Shot by S3D cameras, it is claimed to be the first of its kind in India.

The Thames Conservancy was a body charged with managing the River Thames. Created in 1857 it was originally responsible for the section from Staines to the sea, but in 1866 its role was extended to look after the whole of the river.
That changed in 1909 when the Port of London Authority took over the section from Teddington to the Thames Estuary - basically the tidal Thames. This obslisk was erected to mark that boundary - declared to be the boundary between the parishes of Twickenham and Teddington.
The Thames Conservancy remained in control of the non-tidal Thames until 1974 when it became part of the Thames Water Authority. When Thames Water was privatised, the role went to the new National Rivers Authority, which was then merged in to the Enviroment Agency in 1996. The latter are charged with managing the river to this day.
Whilst the bodies may have changed, the boundary between responsibilities remains at this point.

The quality of the Cape Queen Elizabeth track is an interesting one, it changes so regularly from 4x4 trails at the start, to beach tracks and skree slopes.
I suppose in the past I hadn't put thought to it, but compared with the monoculture of steps along the classic Inca Trail it was a welcome relief to the knees!

Managed to trap one of those orbs that keep floating around my garden......!
Tricky one to spin this as our "cubby-hole" workshop isn't really big enough to swing lights around in - but I managed it without smashing anything to bits - all LEDs intact.
Have a good weekend!

As cyber attacks become more frequent and more damaging, the cost of not being prepared is rising and companies are considering how to mitigate risk. The insurance industry can play an important role in managing cyber risk, but it needs to better understand the threat and quantify the potential damages. Understanding the range and diversity of cyber threats facing American companies, and the cost of cyber attacks and data breaches to victim companies, is essential for insurers to offer new products and services and manage their own exposure to cyber risk.
CSIS will convene a wide range of stakeholders including industry executives, senior policymakers, and security experts to discuss these issues and promote the development of a common understanding of the cyber risks to American companies and how best to manage those risks.

CEA recently managed the unloading, transportation and storage of 13 Komatsu 830 E Ultra Class Haul Trucks. The trucks from Indonesia will be stored by CEA in Thailand.
Each truck weighs 164 Tonnes and has a carrying capacity of 200 Tonnes, compared to a traditional transmission/differential drive the Komatsu’s use an electric drive system instead that can provide 2,400 HP.
The 13 trucks arrived on the Vessel HR Recommendation at Laem Chabang Port, Terminal C0, C0 was the chosen terminal due to its proximity to the CEA Free Trade Zone facility which is less than 1km away. The trucks were lifted form the vessel and lowered onto an awaiting 24 axle Combination SPMT, CEA teams secured the truck in place on the trailer ready for the short transportation across the port.
During transportation each truck was shadowed by a CEA Escort vehicle until arrival at the Free Trade Zone. A specialised reinforced ramp was constructed at the CEA Facility that facilitated the unloading from the SPMT Trailer. Each truck was driven under its own power down the ramp and continued on to the assigned storage location.
All 13 trucks were processed well within the three day timeframe and under budget, both CEA and the client were very happy with the execution of the project
