Geological Research vessel, Glomar Challenger, here we were approaching the first drill site after leaving Abidjan, Ivory coast. February 1975.
The image shows the acoustic beacon ready to be released at the drill site.
On top of the beacon assembly is a ring of glass spheres enclosed in protective plastic covers to keep the top of the beacon facing the surface of the ocean, an anchor kept the device in place on the ocean floor.
After dropping the beacon the ship continued on it course for about twenty minutes then a 180 º turn was executed that brought the ship back to the site, by then the beacon settled on the ocean bed and emitted an acoustic signal every 10 seconds. Four Hydrophones below the ship picked up the signal and the positioning computer evaluated that info and send signals to the electric propulsion systems, consisting of the main propulsion bow and stern thrusters to maintain position over the drill site.

Girl dropouts are a major problem fighting poverty in Malawi, as giving girls and women a better position and better education remains maybe the best way of all to bring change and a better future to Malawi.
At Matunduzi school we saw how the IM-funded project GESI addressed one of the causes of girl dropouts - girls falling behind in their studies due to problems doing their homework due to all the tasks they are asked to do at home.
At Matundizi school, and dozens of similar school, new reading techniques have been introduced and teachers educated in new pedagogical skills.
The reading class seen on these photos were engaging and active to the extreme... Not the least I loved seeing how much space the girls demanded, they were not rated below boys and not discriminated.
Having trained on different reading techniques by GESI, teachers at the school have used the methods to supplement primary school curriculum. One STD 2 teacher introduced supplementary readers from old curriculum books to enhance a reading culture. Through such, most pupils in Standard 2 have acquired Chichewa (Malawis majority language) reading mastery. A rare occurrence in primary schools rocked by myriad challenges.
Meanwhile, on a regular basis, mother groups, that are also getting support and organizational advice from GESI, meets with girls at the school to discuss issues for their retention and achievement. ‘We feel obliged to support our girls so that they should not experience the difficulties we have now due to lack of education.”
Mother group members raise funds for need girls, they give advice and they visit parents who withdraw their girls from schools.
Girls Education Support Initiative (GESI), is funded by IM and run by Malawian NGO Creccom. GESI is an integrated approach to address challenges facing girl children through community mobilization including meeting girls’ post-primary education cost.
The complexities are enormous and intertwine poverty and male dominated culture and put restraints on girls’ education.
IM and Creccom has pledged to promote girls education and fight these constraints.

The crew were on a cross country training flight from their home station at Harrington, near Kettering. The route was to have been Base - Goole - Huddersfield - Stafford - Builth Wells - Worcester - Banbury - Base. It was flown that day by another crew who reported very poor visibility in the area around where 42-94841 crashed.
After arriving in the Huddersfield area the 1st Lt Pitsenbarger turned the aircraft towards Stafford, it had drifted by half a mile to the west but was otherwise on course. While flying at 1,600ft the aircraft struck the northern edge of Twizle Head Moss above Holmfirth, the aircraft disintegrated over a short distance and caught fire. The centre section was completely gutted by the fire, and such was the severity of the blaze that Cpl Clarence Watson who was flying as a passenger was never found.
S/Sgt Curtis Anderson had been thrown out of the aircraft when it crashed, and although very badly injured survived.

I'm diving headfirst into off-camera flash after picking up some lightstands last weekend and I've embarked on the excellent Strobist 102 series from David Hobby. I'm fairly limited space-wise for 'studio' work, and my wife's patience for working with the flash only goes far enough to tolerate the new gear, not to sit as a model.... so my wise friend Yoda will have to step in!
This exercise is intended to get you accustomed to your gear and see the way that moving the lightsource from on-camera axis (far left) around your subject impacts the character of the light and shadow. I threw in the extra row of shots with the 43" shoot-thru umbrella because I just got it and wanted to play with it too!

A pair of World War Two Home Guard Shelters positioned behind the Drill Hall in Loddon. Wartime regulations dictated that such Structures should be built in pairs, one was to house the Inflammables and the other to house the Explosives, but quite often only the one Shelter built.
The Home Guard Stourehouse is basically a brick built shed about 10ft by 14ft in size with a slightly overhanging flat concrete roof, an entrance in the front wall with two ventilation bricks either side and two opening windows in the rear. They are often built in pairs standing side by side the idea being to store Explosives and Inflammables separately as per the Army Council instructions in 1941.

Not a particularly good shot, but one that shows the regular position of the Metropolitan Scanias in Bradford. Hardly a trip in to Bradford went by without seeing one of these at the side of the road.
Arboga holds a prominent position in Swedish medieval history, and the country's first parliament (riksdag) was held here in 1435. Today, Arboga is a quiet town with a population of around 12,000.
Arboga, with its well preserved medieval character, is a beautiful and charming town. The ancient cobblestones of Västerlånggatan (the riverside street, lined with period wooden houses) have been trodden by the feet of many locals and travellers throughout the ages.
Arboga was an influential town during the middle ages; the Arboga River gave the town a trade route to Stockholm and the rest of the world. The iron ore trade was also an important commodity during Arboga’s history, where it was weighed and stored at Ladbron.
Arboga was also host to a number of important historical events including Engelbrekt’s first assembly of the Swedish parliament in 1435. The town was also a residence for monarchs – during the 16th Century Gustav Vasa and his daughter, Cecilia, lived here. Cecilia later became Countess Cecilia of Arboga and lived in the church building Helge And, which later became the town hall and remains so today.
Positioned on Parr Plantation is a standard World War II Home Guard Storehouse, constructed around 1940 to 1941, east of east of the main road, it formed part of the circular defences around the crossroads and railway line. These defences included a pair of pillboxes, a Home Guard shelter, spigot mortar emplacement, anti-tank obstacles and a loopholed wall, some of these are still in situ. All the junctions were blocked with anti-tank rails, fitting into sockets sunk in the road, as well as being in range of the spigot mortar emplacement. The wall to the rear of the Crawfish Inn public house has loopholes, now blocked up but still visible. The defences were manned by thirty men of the local Thursford and nearby Barney Home Guard.
The World War II Home Guard Shelter or Stourehouse, it is basically a brick built shed, approximately 10ft by 14ft in size with a slightly overhanging flat reinforced concrete roof, an entrance in the front wall, normally with two ventilation bricks either side and two opening windows in the rear. At the rear is a post war addition, possibly a pair of sheds or cubicles ! They are often built in pairs standing side by side the idea being to store explosives and inflammables separately as per the Army Council instructions of 1941. They were normally sited near Home Guard Headquarters, Drill Halls and defended positions holding explosives, spigot mortars, Smith guns, Northover Projectors and small arms, along with ammunition.
I saw this in a picture on the Internet, but I don't know what it is called. It's fun and easy for me!
Plebes are in position to demonstrate some of the 35 skills they've learned in the PE 177 course, Military Movement, in front of a crowd at Arvin Cadet Physical Development Center. Plebe-Parent Weekend for the U.S. Military Academy Class of 2017, March 14-16, allows families to visit West Point and meet with senior leaders at the academy and learn what the plebes have accomplished since they arrived for Reception Day on July 1, 2013, and what’s ahead, such as summer training and choosing an academic major. They tour the campus from classrooms to gymnasium, laboratories to chapel, with the opportunity to ask as many questions possible during the weekend before spring leave. For the plebes, it’s an opportunity to take charge. They have ownership of events like the cadet review and the formal banquet and must perform duties as hosts and representatives of the academy for thousands of visitors.

Netball Round 7 2010
22/05/2010 Filed in: Netball | 2010
A Grade
First met last in round 7 of the 2010 CHNL. Hepburn sitting on top of the ladder faced a determined bottom of the ladder Gordon. With Kristina Closhey still out injured, the Burras felt prepared with their squad to take the court. Taking first centre pass, Hepburn took one single pass into goals from the Wing Attack where Gordon’s defenders turned the ball over and scored the first goal to take the lead. This seemed to stun the Burra’s for a few minutes as they quickly tried to settle into their game.
Hepburn’s experience in defence settled first and the game started to flow along at the pace the Burras were working too. Jane and Libby in goals shooting at 95% in the first quarter had Hepburn holding a 14 to 3 lead. A very determined Gordon started the second in fine form once again rattling Hepburn’s game plans at the start. Hannah Cameron-Taylor who was injured in warm up came on court at Goal Defence in the second half and helped drive the ball through the centre in attack. Jane Lienhop at Goal Shooter with the help of Libby Purtell at Goal Attack, managed to out move her defender and offer herself time and time again to miss only 2 of her 27 goals in the last half. Hepburn’s coach praised Gordon for their tenacious game.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 56 defeated GORDON 11
Goals: Jane – 85% 41/48, Libby – 78% 18/23
The Mo Shepherd award went to Captain Libby Purtell for outstanding work in attack.
B Grade
200th gamer Kristi Pedretti saw her undefeated team into round 7. Hepburn’s reserves were well prepared after a week of solid training. Focussing only on their game plan, the Burras shot to the lead in minutes. Hepburn’s strong mid court from Wing Defence to Wing Attack quickly dominated their opponents and took control of the ball. Outstanding attacking support in goals by Tania Grant at Goal Attack helped sharp shooter Mel Penny take them to a 17 to 4 lead at the first break.
Only one change bringing Courtney Wetzel on as Goal Keeper in the second and Hepburn continued to control the ball. Janee Brown’s speed in Centre backed up with Naomi Uwland at Wing Attack consistently rattled Gordon’s mid court defence. Supported by Mel Brown in Goal Defence and the quick hands of Caitlan Ryan at Wing Defence, Hepburn’s attacking line up became sharper and more direct.
Tania Grant stepped up again and offered herself more. With more options for the centre court feeding, the Burra’s goalers were relentless with their offers and attempts. The game continued at a fast pace with Hepburn refusing to slow down. Calm and controlled, the teams confidence grew through the match. An outstanding 2 quarters at Goal Keeper for Coutrney Wetzel kept her opponent scoreless.
Final scores HEPBURN 62 defeated GORDON 11
Goals: Mel Penny – 72% 44/61, Tania Grant – 57% 17/29, Courteny Wetzel – 25% 1/4
The Cutting Studio Award went to Janee Brown and Mo Shepherd award to Tania Grant for outstanding work in attack.
Tania and Janee would like to thank their supporters, Red Bull.
C Grade
Hepburn’s C grade had an outstanding win in round 7. Lead by Cam Nolan in Centre, the Burras managed to quickly settle into the game and take control. 16 year old Ange Giacometti at Goal Attack was brilliant again. Her height, attacking speed and accuracy in goals leaves her opponents behind. Shooting 22 to 0 in the 1st backed up by Lisa Elleton at Goal Shooter.
After a solid training this week, Hepburn were confident with their abilities. They rotated the bench and achieved results ever time. Alyson, Desi, Maddy & Tash also controlled the defence and prevented Gordon from scoring for most of the game. Hepburn had their best result for the season with a strong 67 to 6 victory.
Mo Shepherd award went to Cam Nolan for outstanding work in attack and defence.
7 January 2014. Lloyd from Shades Catering Services using a pole to show the location of a blocked drain gully in one of three large puddles in Morrison Yard, Tottenham.
To locate the other two gullies Alex Pang and I used a large twig. But this was the largest puddle and the water was too cloudy to see the gully. Sharon and Lloyd came out to help.
