The Greater London Authority (GLA) is a strategic authority with a London-wide role to design a better future for the capital. It supports the work of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly in representing the interests of Londoners.
The GLA was formally established in 2000 and its three main areas of responsibility are: economic development and wealth creation; social development and environmental improvement.
Port Augusta. Population 14,100.
Pt Augusta has a population of 14,000 people of which almost 20% are of Aboriginal descent. Nationally 3.8% of the Australian population is Aboriginal. Port Augusta is the fourth largest town outside Adelaide after Mt Gambier, Whyalla and Murray Bridge. Part of the reason for the current large Aboriginal population of Port Augusta stems from the early establishment of an Aboriginal mission near the city. In 1937 the Christian Brethren Assemblies established an Aboriginal mission in the sand hills just north of the town. The mission was originally called Umeewarra. In 1964 the government took control of the mission and renamed it Davenport Reserve and in 1968 an Aboriginal community council took charge of the Reserve. During the 1970s most of the Aboriginal children fostered out to white families came from Davenport Reserve. Davenport Reserve closed in 1995. Sadly it has been in the news recently for vandalism, degradation of facilities and youth crime rates.
Matthew Flinders mapped the Port Augusta area in 1802. Europeans named it Port Augusta (after Governor Fox Young’s wife) on May 24 1852 when a survey was undertaken. Land was put up for auction in 1854 signalling the start of the town. Previous to this in 1851 the first leases had been granted to pastoralists in the nearby Flinders Ranges - to James Paterson and Messers White and Pollhill. The story of Port Augusta’s growth after this time was influenced by a series of major milestones which developed its industrial and iron/steel usage.
Firstly it was the growth of the port for wool and copper ore. By 1854 pastoral runs in the Flinders Ranges were carting wool to the town for transhipment to England. Then by around 1857, copper was being transported from the Blinman copper mines for shipment overseas. Some copper was smelted in the port before shipment. The Blinman mining company erected their own wharf in Port Augusta in 1863, the first of several private and government wharves. Consequently one of the first significant buildings in the town was the Customs House and Harbour Masters house, erected in 1861 on the site of the present day yacht club. The first bank in this growing commercial centre was the National Bank opened in Gibson Street in 1863. In later years grain and flour from the mills in Quorn and Wilmington were shipped out from the port too. Alexander Tassie was one of the first settlers and the leading merchant in early Port Augusta thus the naming of Tassie Street. Large pastoral companies, like Sir Thomas Elder’s company which had been set up in the town in 1855, had their own wharves. During the 1880s Port Augusta was the second port for the state after Port Adelaide before Port Pirie surpassed it. It finally closed as a working port in 1974. Before that time railway engines, and all sorts of heavy equipment and supplies were all shipped to Port Augusta and lifted from the sailing ships and steamers by cranes.
Second the town got a reliable water supply. In 1865 a water pipe was laid from springs on Woolundunga Station, 14 miles away from Port Augusta. To protect this vital resource the state government stationed a Water Works Superintendent in Port Augusta and built the Water Works Barracks on the town square to house the guards and generally control the town. The heritage listed barracks were erected in 1862 with a Water Works Office next door facing on to Gladstone Square.
Third Port Augusta boomed with the construction of the Overland Telegraph from Port Augusta to Darwin which provided the first cable connection between England and an Australian city- Adelaide. Sir Charles Todd was in charge of the 2,300 kms line which was a remarkable engineering achievement across harsh, sparsely populated, terrain from Port Augusta to Darwin. Everything for the start of the Overland Telegraph from horses, camels, bullocks, hundreds of miles of copper wire, insulators, batteries for repeater stations at every 250 kms (13 in total), supplies for the men and posts for the actual line were unloaded on the wharf in Port Augusta. The line was completed in 1872 after two years of work and the erection of 36,000 poles. Port Augusta already had a telegraph to Adelaide and overseas cables had reached Darwin allowing telegrams to be sent to London. The isolation of Australia stopped by the efforts of Port Augusta. The telegraph was replaced in the early 1970s by microwave radio relays.
Fourth the town was chosen as the site for the Commonwealth Railways to have their major base. When the Federal parliament passed a bill to build a transcontinental railway from Port August across the Nullarbor Plain to Kalgoorlie this provided a rail connection from Eastern Australia to Perth and Western Australia. The building of this railway was to fulfil a promise upon which Western Australia joined the Australian Federation in 1900.
Fifth the Playford government passed legislation to establish a state wide electricity supplier using brown coal mines being developed at Leigh Creek. The first major power station in South Australia was then to be built in Port Augusta.
Industrially Port Augusta was also boosted by thirsty male workers. The first hotel, the Port Augusta Hotel, was licensed in 1855. In 1864 the Northern Hotel was first licensed. More hotels were built and licensed so that by 1878 there were six hotels in the town! Once the railway to Quorn opened the first Railway Terminus Hotel was licensed in 1880. The brewery, which is now part of the Northern Gateway Shopping Centre, first started operations in the early 1870s. In 1879 it was greatly extended by new owners with a high tower, large cellars and more machinery. It faces on to Gladstone Square. Aerated waters were produced as well as beer. Mr. Perrers, the brewery owner also owned the Laura brewery in the 1890s. He sold both breweries to SA Brewing Company in 1894 which closed them. The town had other industries as in 1880 John Dunn, the flour miller from Mt Barker with mills in many SA towns, opened his flour mill in Port Augusta. It received grain by train from Hawker and Quorn districts. The mill finally burnt down in 1926. It was the opening of the Great Northern railway in 1878 which prompted Dunn to build his flour mill. The railway reached Quorn in 1880, Hawker soon afterwards and Farina in 1882.
The 1860s to the 1880s were boom years for the town and it progressed greatly. Private schools were replaced by the first government school in 1878; the Anglican Church opened in 1868; the first Bible Christian Church had opened earlier in 1866 and was replaced in 1885. The large Catholic Church was built in 1883. A few years later the first Catholic Bishop of Port Augusta diocese was appointed and the first cathedral services held in the church in 1888. The first Bishop resided in Port Augusta, the second Bishop lived in Pekina and the third moved his Bishop’s Palace and the Pro Cathedral to Peterborough in 1912. The seat of the diocese was moved from Port Augusta to Port Pirie in 1951 when the Diocese became the diocese of Port Pire. The town’s Post Office was built in 1866 with a telegraph service to Adelaide starting in 1871. The town’s first newspaper started in 1877; the corporation of Port Augusta was gazetted in 1875. A wharf had been established in 1871 at Port Augusta West. A wooden hut served as the first police station in Point Augusta from around 1855 where Mr. Minchin the Sub-Protector of Aborigines also worked. It was sent by ship from Port Adelaide and assembled upon being landed. A second wooden Police Station and Courthouse was built in 1867. It was replaced in 1884 by the grand stone Courthouse. Note the VR insignia for Victoria Regina above the doors of the old Courthouse. The big event of this decade was the start of the train service to Quorn in 1878 reaching Quorn in 1882 and it was finally extended to Marree by 1884.
From 1875 the first council meetings were held in the old Institute building in Commercial Street. The corporation then borrowed £6,000 for the erection of a Town Hall suitable for a progressive town like Port Augusta. This impressive classical style building next to the Institute was sadly vacant for decades. It has recently been restored and operates as an up-market motel. The building was made of stone quarried near Quorn, with Ionic columns and a square tower topped with a pyramidal dome and cupola. The summit was 72 feet above the footpath! From its opening day in 1887 the Town Hall had electric lighting from its own generating supply thanks to the efforts of a local Councillor and the superintendent of Water Works in Port Augusta Mr Hullett. In 1885 he developed a small hydraulic engine plant at his residence to provide electric lighting for his dining room. This was the first house in SA to have electricity. Mr Hullett was responsible for the electricity plant for the opening of the Town Hall. Also in 1884 he invented and patented a double track railway truck. In 1886 he presented the Council with a plan for electric street lighting in Port Augusta. Power was to be supplied by Dunn and Co millers on the wharf. When the lights of the Town Hall were first switched on the town was agog with the new marvel of electric lighting. The 1881 census showed that Port Augusta had over 2,100 citizens. The first bridge across the Gulf to Port Augusta West opened in 1927 and the town received its first reliable water supply in 1944 from the Morgan to Whyalla water pipeline. There is a memorial arbour to Ada Woodcock in front of the old Institute as she was a long time Councillor, a community worker and writer of the social columns of the Port Augusta newspaper.

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, jointly with UNICEF, lead the largest global programme to accelerate the abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In line with Zero Tolerance Day for FGM on 6 February 2017, UNFPA lead a mission to Kenya's Narok County to document UNFPA’s active participation to encourage the abandonment of the practice. Female Genital Mutilation, FGM, involves altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It negatively impacts a girl’s psychological, emotional and physical well-being, education, health and gender equality rights, and is internationally recognized as a human rights violation. Maasai culture, often praised and used as a tourist attraction, encourages FGM which is views as the key to success in all aspects of life. Many Maasai families cannot afford to give their children formal schooling, so to protect their daughters from lives of poverty, they choose to marry them off at a young age. Because Maasai girls are traditionally considered children until they are circumcised, it is seen as imperative for a Maasai girl to undergo the circumcision rite before she is married making FGM a precursor to child marriage. This strongly ingrained cultural belief propels families to go to great lengths to complete the circumcision. Both FGM and child marriage negatively impact long-term poverty reduction and development outcomes. In collaboration with World Vision Kenya as an implementing partner UNFPA identify Narok County in Maasailand as one of eight targeted counties in Kenya where UNFPA-supported interventions are transforming and saving lives of women and girls in the county.

20170320 Visiting Artist Giang Pham
Hey Kim's Class
Message: Contemporary artist Giang Pham, Assistant Professor at University of Alabama, will offer sculpture workshops to supplement existing art courses and offer an artist talk to engage students to contemporary art. Ms. Pham focuses on the intersection of class, culture, and the lived experience. Many of her ephemeral installations utilize drawing, video, sculpture, performance, and temporal markers (e.g. live plants, burning incense, etc.). Ms. Pham merges the language of visual art with the language of cultivation (rice and industrial farming) to create new connections related to class and culture. The talk, which is free and open to WSSU students and the public (no need for reservations), is hosted by the Department of Art and Visual Studies.

Population statistics for Yubari, Hokkaido as of 1 May 2017. There were 3,983 men and 4,629 women for a total of 8.612 people, and 5,030 households. I found this in the Yubari City Hall where we were getting some paperwork for me in order to get a drivers license.
Volgograd, formerly Tsaritsyn (1589–1925) and Stalingrad (1925–1961), is the largest city and the administrative centre of Volgograd Oblast, Russia. The city lies on the western bank of the Volga, covering an area of 859.4 square kilometres (331.8 square miles), with a population of slightly over one million residents. Volgograd is the 16th-largest city by population size in Russia, the second-largest city of the Southern Federal District, and the fourth-largest city on the Volga.
The city was founded as the fortress of Tsaritsyn in 1589. By the 19th century, Tsaritsyn had become an important river-port and commercial centre, leading to its rapid population growth. In November 1917, at the start of the Russian Civil War, Tsaritsyn came under Bolshevik control. It fell briefly to the White Army in mid-1919 but returned to Bolshevik control in January 1920. In 1925, the city was renamed Stalingrad in honor of Joseph Stalin, who then ruled the country. During World War II, Axis forces attacked the city, leading to the Battle of Stalingrad, arguably the largest and bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, from which it received the title of Hero City. In 1961, Nikita Khrushchev's administration renamed the city Volgograd as part of de-Stalinization.
Volgograd today is the site of The Motherland Calls, an 85-metre (279 ft) high statue dedicated to the heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad, which is the tallest statue in Europe, as well as the second tallest statue of a woman in the world. The city has many tourist attractions, such as museums, sandy beaches, and a self-propelled floating church. Volgograd was one of the host cities of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Tsaritsyn was established in 1555 and was named after the Tsaritsa river. The name of Tsaritsyn was written as Царицынъ, with the hard sign.
When Vladimir Lenin died in 1924, Joseph Stalin took charge as the General Secretary; Tsaritsyn was renamed Stalingrad in honour of his role in the defence of the city. The name is derived from the compound of Stalin (Сталин; his name) and grad (град: name for a settlement in Russian).
In the aftermath of Stalin's death, Nikita Khrushchev announced the policy of De-Stalinization. The name was changed to Volgograd in 1961, derived from name of the Volga river, on whose bank the city is situated.
Although the city may have originated in 1555, documented evidence of Tsaritsyn at the confluence of the Tsaritsa and Volga rivers dates from 1589. The structure stood slightly above the mouth of the Tsaritsa River on the right bank. It soon became the nucleus of a trading settlement.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the garrison consisted of 350 to 400 people. In 1607 the fortress garrison rebelled for six months against the troops of Tsar Vasili Shuisky. In the following year saw the construction of the first stone church in the city, dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
In 1670 troops of Stepan Razin captured the fortress; they left after a month. In 1708 the insurgent Cossack Kondraty Bulavin (died July 1708) held the fortress. In 1717 in the Kuban pogrom, raiders from the Kuban under the command of the Crimean Tatar Bakhti Gerai [ru] blockaded the town and enslaved thousands in the area. In August 1774 Cossack leader Yemelyan Pugachev unsuccessfully attempted to storm the city.
In 1691 Moscow established a customs-post at Tsaritsyn. In 1708 Tsaritsyn was assigned to the Kazan Governorate; in 1719[citation needed] to the Astrakhan Governorate. According to the census in 1720, the city had a population of 408 people. In 1773 the settlement was designated as a provincial and district town. From 1779 it belonged to the Saratov Viceroyalty. In 1780 the city came under the newly established Saratov Governorate.
In the nineteenth century, Tsaritsyn became an important river-port and commercial center. As a result, it also became a hub for migrant workers; in 1895 alone, over 50,000 peasant migrants came to Tsaritsyn in search of work. The population expanded rapidly, increasing from fewer than 3,000 people in 1807 to about 84,000 in 1900. By 1914, the population had again jumped and was estimated at 130,000. Sources show 893 Jews registered as living there in 1897, with the number exceeding 2,000 by the middle of the 1920s. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Tsaritsyn was essentially a frontier town; almost all of the structures were wooden, with neither paved roads nor utilities. The first railway reached the town in 1862. The first theatre opened in 1872, the first cinema in 1907. In 1913 Tsaritsyn got its first tram-line, and the city's first electric lights were installed in the city center.
Between 1903 and 1907, the area was one of the least healthy in Europe, with a mortality rate of 33.6 for every 1000 persons. Untreated sewage spilled into the river, causing several cholera epidemics between 1907 and 1910. Although the region had an active Sanitary Executive Commission that sent out instructions on the best ways to prevent outbreaks and dispatched a delegate from the Anti-Plague Commission to Tsaritsyn in 1907, local municipal officials did not put any precautions into place, citing economic considerations. The city's drinking water came directly from the river, the intake pipe dangerously close to both the port and the sewage drain. There were neither funds nor political will to close the port (the main hub of economic activity) or move the intake pipes. As a result, in the three years spanning 1908 to 1910, Tsaritsyn lost 1,045 people to cholera. With a population of only 102,452 at the time, that amounted to a 1.01% loss of the population.
Between 1908 and 1911, Tsaritsyn was home to Sergei Trufanov, also known as the 'mad monk' Iliodor. He spent most of his time causing infighting and power struggles within the Russian Orthodox Church, fomenting anti-semitic zeal and violence in local populations, attacking the press, denouncing local municipal officials and causing unrest wherever he went. The most permanent mark he left on the city was the Holy Spirit Monastery (Russian: Свято-Духовский монастырь), built in 1909, parts of which still stand today.
In light of the explosive population growth, the lack of political action on sanitation and housing, the multiple epidemics and the presence of volatile personalities, it is no surprise that the lower Volga region was a hotbed of revolutionary activity and civil unrest. The inability of the Tsarist government to provide basic protections from cholera on the one hand and subjecting the populace to strict but ineffective health measures on the other, caused multiple riots in 1829, in the 1890s and throughout the first decade of the 1900s, setting the stage for multiple Russian revolutions and adding fuel to the political fire. During the Russian Civil War of 1917–1923, Tsaritsyn came under Soviet control from November 1917. In 1918 White Movement troops under Pyotr Krasnov, the Ataman of the Don Cossack Host, besieged Tsaritsyn. The Reds repulsed three assaults by the Whites. However, in June 1919 the White Armed Forces of South Russia, under the command of General Denikin, captured Tsaritsyn, and held it until January 1920. The fighting from July 1918 to January 1920 became known as the Battle for Tsaritsyn.
On April 10, 1925, the city was renamed Stalingrad, in honor of Joseph Stalin, General Secretary of the Communist Party. This was officially to recognize the city and Stalin's role in its defense against the Whites between 1918 and 1920.
Once the Soviets established control, ethnic and religious minorities were targeted. The only Jewish school in the area was closed down in 1926. In 1928, a campaign was launched by the Regional Executive Council to close down the synagogue in Stalingrad. Due to local pushback, they were not successful until 1929, when the council convened a Special Commission. The Commission convinced local municipal powers that the building was in need of major repairs, was unsafe and much too small for the over 800 worshippers who regularly showed up for high holidays.
In 1931, the German settlement-colony Old Sarepta (founded in 1765) became a district of Stalingrad. Renamed Krasnoarmeysky Rayon (or "Red Army District"), it was the largest area of the city. The first higher education institute was opened in 1930. A year later, the Stalingrad Industrial Pedagogical Institute, now Volgograd State Pedagogical University, was opened. Under Stalin, the city became a center of heavy industry and transshipment by rail and river.
During World War II, German and Axis forces attacked the city, which, in 1942, became the site of one of the war's pivotal battles. The Battle of Stalingrad was the deadliest single battle in the history of warfare (casualties estimates vary between 1,250,000 and 2,500,000).
The battle began on August 23, 1942, and on the same day, the city suffered heavy aerial bombardment that reduced most of it to rubble. Martial law had already been declared in the city on July 14. By September, the fighting reached the city center. The fighting was of unprecedented intensity; the city's central railway station changed hands thirteen times, and the Mamayev Kurgan (one of the highest points of the city) was captured and recaptured eight times.
By early November, the German forces controlled 90 percent of the city and had cornered the Soviets in two narrow pockets, but they were unable to eliminate the last pockets of Soviet resistance before Soviet forces launched a huge counterattack on November 19. This resulted in the Soviet encirclement of the German Sixth Army and other Axis units. On January 31, 1943, Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus, the Sixth Army's commander, surrendered; by February 2, with the elimination of straggling German troops, the Battle of Stalingrad was over.
The bombing campaign and five months of fighting destroyed 99% of the city. Of the population of more than half a million before the battle, only 1,515 remained following the battle's conclusion.
In 1945, the Soviet Union awarded Stalingrad the title Hero City for its resistance. Great Britain's King George VI awarded the citizens of Stalingrad the jeweled "Sword of Stalingrad" in recognition of their bravery.
A number of cities around the world (especially those that had suffered similar wartime devastation) established sister, friendship, and twinning links (see list below) in the spirit of solidarity or reconciliation. One of the first "sister city" projects was that established during World War II between Stalingrad and Coventry in the United Kingdom; both had suffered extensive devastation from aerial bombardment.
On 10 November 1961, Nikita Khrushchev's administration changed the name of the city to Volgograd ("Volga City") as part of his programme of de-Stalinization following Stalin's death. This action was and remains somewhat controversial, because Stalingrad has such importance as a symbol of resistance during World War II.
During Konstantin Chernenko's brief rule in 1984, proposals were floated to revive the city's Stalinist name for that reason. There was a strong degree of local support for a reversion, but the Russian Soviet government did not accept such proposals.
On May 21, 2007, Roman Grebennikov of Communist Party was elected as mayor with 32.47% of the vote, a plurality. Grebennikov became Russia's youngest mayor of a federal subject administrative center at the time.
In 2010, Russian monarchists and leaders of the Orthodox organizations demanded that the city should take back its original name of Tsaritsyn, but the authorities rejected their proposal.
On January 30, 2013, the Volgograd City Council passed a measure to use the title "Hero City Stalingrad" in city statements on nine specific dates annually. On the following dates, the title "Hero City Stalingrad" can officially be used in celebrations:
February 2 (end of the Battle of Stalingrad),
February 23 (Defender of the Fatherland Day),
May 9 (Victory Day),
June 22 (start of Operation Barbarossa),
August 23 (start of the Battle of Stalingrad),
September 2 (Victory over Japan Day),
November 19 (start of Operation Uranus),
December 9 (Day of the Fatherland's Heroes)
In addition, in January 2013, 50,000 people signed a petition to Vladimir Putin, asking that the city's name be permanently changed to Stalingrad. President Putin has replied that such a move should be preceded by a local referendum and that the Russian authorities will look into how to bring about such a referendum.

Looks like an ordinary picture, right? Look again. Note natures way of helping Dusty fight off the guy cats around here. Yep, it's the "Burr Protection Agency" at work. Dusty must have decided if the guys can make it past the burr patch, they must be worth it. If not, her ingenious plan to practice safe sex and population control works! Maybe she's onto something!

The elusive Wrens, finally a stab at one .
My Carolina Wrens are not as keen for image taking like they were prior to 2015.
all of them stay out of view in my back yard and usually high
in the trees.
But i hear them with a vengeance every morning and late days taunting me i think Carolina Wrens are my foremost favorite bird i love them and their calls .
This morning i listen to Dave and Chuck the freak and laughed about a Florida porch thief story the victim talked to reporters and in the background the sound of a close Carolina Wren is heard .
basically mixed with what i hear when driving Village st in Medway, pretty much its full length every five hundred feet
I hear a Wren call.
I can say that Wren populations in Medway Ma for Carolina Wrens are very decent when not so long ago there had been reports of their decline .
Happy to say they made a come back.
