Pictures are from meeting with innovative farmer Joel Yiri, Jirapa Village in Ghana. He started developing his plot of land by using manure from his pigs when he realized the soil had become infertile. He is also serious about keeping a record of all input costs and revenues, meaning that he now can track looses and change crops and production techniques accordingly. Joel Yiri is also experiencing a change in rainfall patters, the rain start later every year, and stops earlier, mixed with periods of drought. View Joel Yiri talk about his farming techniques and his hopes for the future in the video ‘Farmer Testimonials’.

This hike was none the less challenging for being a novice hiker. Lost track of the trail for about 30 minutes and I probably would of sold my first born for a can of Off. This was the only "waterfall" that was reachable as I think mosquito's were running out of room on my arms and legs to munch on.
This plot on the Victoria Jubilee Allotments which at the request of the VJ Association I scythed and tidied was in worse condition than if it had been left entirely unworked, overgrown with seeding weeds, full of drink cans, bits of plastic, paper and metal rubbish, small pieces of concrete, rotting wood, the remains of raised beds some entirely collapsed, a disintegrated plastic shed almost certainly blown over because so neglected, its panels strewn over the whole plot.
Now that I’ve piled all the debris up the top end of the plot it will be easier for a new gardener to take over. There are sound planks that can be used to remake raised beds and some other raised beds (only 6 inches high) still in place that might be used as they are if dug over. If need be I could arranged for Handsworth Helping Hands to move the remains of the shed.
Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

The Metaphysical Plot Device delivers a cabinet-within-a-cabinet solution, providing necessary relief from the chaotic creativity purveyed by other wonderboxen. Justin Hall invites you to understand less by viewing the story of the MPD construction, which details how a video loop played off a Raspberry Pi through an LCD screen fronted by painted dollhouse cabinets could emerge from pataphysical efforts to upend our understanding of entertainment and enlightenment. As other wonderboxen wiggle here in nested cabinets, the context for our current reality becomes clear: the Pataphysical Slot Machine is actually part of the Metaphysical Plot Device. We will unveil this wonderbox as part of our Pataphysical Slot Machine exhibit at the Mill Valley Library on October 2, 2015. Learn more at htttp://pataphysics.us
The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name.
The card was posted in Southend-on-Sea on Monday the 23rd. December 1912 to:
Miss Baldwin,
'The Hall',
Thorpe Morieux,
Nr. Bury St. Edmunds,
Suffolk
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"With fondest love and all
good wishes for a really
happy Christmas and a glad
New Year to you all.
From 'We Two'".
Westcliff-on-Sea
Westcliff-on-Sea is a suburb of Southend-on-Sea and a seaside resort in Essex in south-east England.
It is situated on the north bank of the Thames Estuary, about 34 miles (55 km) east of London.
The cliffs formed by erosion give views over the Thames Estuary towards the Kent coastline to the south. The coastline has been transformed into sandy beaches through the use of groynes and imported sand.
The estuary at this point has extensive mud flats. At low tide, the water typically retreats some 600 m from the beach, leaving the mud flats exposed.
Arrival of the Railway
The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway line arrived in the 1880's, connecting the town with London and shortening travel time.
Hamlet Court Road
The main shopping area in Westcliff-on-Sea is Hamlet Court Road, where the department store Havens, established in 1901, remained the anchor store until its closure in 2017.
Hamlet Court Road took its name from a manor house called the Hamlet Court, which stood on land now occupied by Pavarotti's Restaurant and the NatWest Bank, facing towards the sea with sweeping gardens down to the rail line.
The road later developed into a strong independent retail area, and quickly became famous outside the area as the Bond Street of Essex. There were many haberdashers and specialist shops, and it was not unusual to see chauffeurs waiting for their employers to emerge from the shops.
The economic recessions of the 1980's and 90's saw the area decline. However the road underwent a £1 million regeneration in the early 2000's and a further regeneration in 2010. The street is now known for its large number of restaurants.
An Attempted Assassination
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 23rd. December 1912, the Viceroy of India, Lord Hardinge, was wounded in an assassination attempt when a bomb was thrown at him as he was arriving in Delhi.
Hardinge was being brought to the capital on an elephant as part of the arrival ceremony, when a bomb was thrown at him from a housetop.
Debris struck his right shoulder. Hardinge's attendant, Jamadar Mahabir Singh, was killed, and 20 people were injured. It's not recorded what happened to the elephant.
Four people were later executed for the attack, but the mastermind behind the plot, Rashbehari Bose, escaped to Japan where he would live the rest of his life, dying in 1945.
Area: Chandmari Juggi, Vijaynagar District: Ghaziabad, State: Uttar Pradesh Country: India, 21ST March 2017 .
A child plays outide his home at the Chandmari Juggi. 27-year-old Naazma Begum along with her husband Mohhammed Avrakh reside in a 100 sq.feet plot of land covered by blue and yellow plastic supported by bamboo sticks. In order to survive Naazma picks rags from garbage dumps and construction sites, sometimes travelling around 8 to 10 kilometers a day. Typically her day starts at 4:00 am, and sometimes can extend till late evenings. After picking useful items out of garbage she comes back to her slum colony and sorts out the various pieces of junk collected. Plastic, metals, glass and other items are separated and sold. Children, young and old participate in this activity. The sorted items would then be sold to a “Kabadi Wala” ( Wholesale Junk Shop).
On certain days Naazma does not go for her morning rounds of rag picking. This does affects her household economically. Her husband a magician doing shows for a living does not have a steady stream of income. In spite of the circumstances Naazma on these mornings goes house to house motivating young mothers from her community to take their children for routine immunization sessions organized in her locality by the National Health Mission.
An inspiration to many, Naazma sometimes has tough time convincing her friends to take their children. Excuses ranging from, “We don’t have time’, “ the child will get fever “ are common in her community. Naazma patiently explains the dangers caused due to lack of vaccination and its necessity in today’s life to every household. Her effort along with the support of Community Mobilization Coordinator and Block Mobilization Coordinator has led to a massive increase in the children immunized in Vijaynagar Ghaziabad.

Plotters against the king? Looks like nefarious business is being worked up at King Richard's Faire in Carver, Massachusetts.
Two millet plots that have both received one night’s worth of cattle manure, either without urine (left hand plot) or including the urine (right hand plot). Does this image show a treatment effect, a case of pre-existing soil variability, or a combination of the two?
A case of a clear urine effect, or a case of a natural fertility gradient, with fertility gradually increasing from left to right, related to the presence of an old termite mound just off-picture on the right? Researchers should investigate both alternatives!

Just after drawing plot S17 from the pot of dirt with pin pong balls. Merri Corner community garden.
Plot size is S for small, 6m squared, the yearly cost is $90, but this is likely to be reduced. This in not just a plot for growing vegies but a link to the local community. They had a wonderfull allocation ceremony and even gave a handover and acceptance speech, like a wedding :-)
Fieldston, Bronx
The Fieldston neighborhood is one of New York City's most beautiful and wellplanned early twentieth century suburban communities consisting of approximately 257 houses and related structures.
The land comprising Fieldston was purchased by Joseph Delafield in 1829 as part of a larger estate. In 1909, a year after subway services reached 242nd Street and Broadway, the owners of the Delafield estate decided to develop the property by selling several acres to Manhattan Teachers College, with the rest to be a ìprivate park devoted exclusively to country homes.î The estate hired engineer Albert Wheeler, who finalized the layout in 1914.
Wheelerís plan, based on recommendations made by Frederick Law Olmsted and James R.Croes who had surveyed the area in 1876, incorporated winding roads that followed the natural topography and preserved as far as possible its ìwooded knolls, dells, and hillocks.î House plots varied in size from an acre to less than a quarter acre, to ensure variety and make ìflat uninteresting rows of suburban houses impossible.î By 1923, only 80 of the lots had been developed and the Delafield Estate ordered that the property be liquidated. Fearing that the property would be developed unsympathetically, the residents formed the Fieldston Property Owners Association (FPOA) in August 1923, in order to continue the original goals of private residential development. In February 1924, FPOA formed Fieldston, Inc., which raised the money to purchase all the unsold property.
Fieldston, Inc. established strict design requirements and required buyers to submit house plans to its Architectural Committee for approval. In 1928 the committee published a handbook containing names of approved architects, including, among others, Frank J. Forster, Julius Gregory, Dwight James Baum, Polhemus & Coffin, Electus D. Litchfield, and James W. O'Connor. Most owners chose Baum or Gregory, but all the architects working in Fieldston at the time designed
in his book Highways & Byways of Lincolnshire (1927), Willingham Franklin Rawnsley describes Gainsborough Old Hall in these words:
The great sight of the Town is the Old Hall, which stands on a grassy plot of some two acres, with a very poor iron railing around it, and a road around all that. In the middle of this rough-mown plot in the heart of the town is a charming old baronial hall, rebuilt in the times of Henry VII and Elizabeth, after its destruction in 1470, and is still occupied as a private residence............
The wide area around the Hall, with it's untidy grass and the miserable iron fence, gives a singularly folorn appearance to a beautiful and uncommon-looking building.
The Old Hall, managed by English Heritage these days is Grade 1 listed.
