I had always wanted to change his eyechips to blue. I had them ordered and they arrived even before the boy came home. But now, with his new wig, I think I like the green chips a lot. So they stay!
But what do I do with the blue chips? How would Rafa look with blue eyes, I wonder?

All the children's presents are now wrapped under the tree. Even this cobra / giant's foot / bike seat / scooter (take your pick) for William.
I nipped upstairs to collect the boys stockings from their door handles as the final task, and managed to fall back down again, landing painfully on my bum, and jarring my back, neck and shoulder in the process. Merry ruddy Christmas! Better drink through it I think...

Dakar, mardi 26 octobre 2018- Aujourd’hui, s’est tenue à Dakar la présentation officielle de l’Etude du Bureau des Nations Unies pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel sur le Pastoralisme en Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel.
En présence du Représentant spécial du Secrétaire général et Chef du Bureau des Nations Unies pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel, M. Mohamed Ibn Chambas, les représentants de la FAO, de la Banque Mondiale, de l’USAID et de la CEDEAO ont prononcé un discours lors de la cérémonie de présentation, rappelant l’importance du Pastoralisme et de la sécurité dans la sous-région.
« Motivé par sa vocation et son rôle dans la prévention des conflits, l'UNOWAS a décidé en 2017 d’entreprendre une étude approfondie pour comprendre les dynamiques causant les affrontements entre agriculteurs et éleveurs et proposer des solutions, » a déclaré Mohamed Ibn Chambas, en ajoutant que les tensions entre agriculteurs et éleveurs nomades existent depuis des siècles, mais Il semble qu’elles s’intensifier et deviennent de plus en plus violentes, notamment dans les pays qui subissent déjà des conflits internes.
L’Etude de l’UNOWAS sur le Pastoralisme et la Sécurité en Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel se veut une contribution à la prévention des conflits et à la consolidation de la paix dans notre région.
L’étude qui a couvert six pays, le Burkina Faso, la Guinée, le Mali, la Mauritanie, le Niger et le Nigeria révèle que la plupart des conflits liés aux pastoralisme dans la région résultent des besoins urgents et croissants des éleveurs et des agriculteurs à l'accès à l'eau et aux pâturages, mais elle souligne aussi qu’il y’a d’autres facteurs qui amplifient la tension entre les agriculteurs et les éleveurs comme le changement climatique, la faible présence des institutions de l’état, la présence de groupes armés, et l’affaiblissement des mécanismes traditionnels de résolution des conflits.
L’étude de l’UNOWAS propose une série de recommandations pour contenir et résoudre ce fléau qui peuvent s’articuler sur deux axes principaux :
a- Une action par les États est nécessaire pour résoudre les conflits dans les pays qui connaissent déjà des niveaux élevés de violence entre éleveurs et agriculteurs.
b- La nécessité des divers acteurs de fournir des efforts afin de prévenir d’autres conflits et empêcher la violence de s’enraciner ailleurs dans la région.
« Les conflits entre agriculteurs et éleveurs sont entremêlés de multiples facteurs liés à la sécurité, à l'économie, à l’environnement, et à la politique qui menacent sérieusement la paix en Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel. Plus que jamais, nous devons redoubler d’efforts et partager nos expériences et expertises pour aider les pays de la région à éradiquer ce phénomène, » a rappelé M. Mohamed Ibn Chambas.
En annonçant la publication officielle de l’Etude sur le Pastoralisme et la Sécurité en Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel, le Représentant spécial a tenu à lancer un appel à tous les acteurs et partenaires, locaux, nationaux, régionaux et internationaux à œuvrer en synergie pour que les relations entre les éleveurs et les agriculteurs ne soient plus une autre source de conflits meurtriers, mais un socle pour la paix et la prospérité en Afrique de l’Ouest et le Sahel.

This was done in the Wilton 3 course. It was meant to be covered in white with a pink bow.
But I think I like my take on it.
The Toothill Report was the recommendations of a 1961 inquiry into the Scottish economy commissioned by the Scottish Council (Development and Industry). The inquiry was chaired by J.N. Toothill, the managing director of Ferranti in Edinburgh.
These slides were used in a lecture presented by JR James at the Department of Town and Regional Planning at The University of Sheffield between 1967 and 1978.
Um ritual, em sua totalidade, não deve ser ligado sempre à práticas religiosas, mas pode simplesmente ser um ato repetido com dedicação, seguindo com cuidado ou gosto, como o fato de se levantar, seguir até o banheiro, lavar o rosto e escovar os dentes sempre ao acordar pela manhã, como outros costumes. Um rito pode ser a preparação daquela janta para dois. E assim estando presente em praticamente todas as práticas sociais de nosso cotidiano.
Por isso, não me atendo primeiramente ao sentido religioso, decidi por denominar este ensaio como “O Rito” por se tratar da preparação para a cerimônia que aconteceria mais a noite naquele sábado a noite em algum lugar de São Lourenço da Mata. Me apeguei em captar as cores e métodos de preparo, os passos do Feitio do Rapé. Desde o desfio do Tabaco, até a transformação das lascas em cinza, batidas bem finas e macias, para assim poder misturar perfeitamente com as cinzas de Pau Pereira. Captar toda a dedicação de todos os integrantes do grupo Águia do Norte em preparar as cerimônias de Ayahuasca e Temazcal foi primoroso, para dizer o mínimo, acompanhar, durante um final de semana, o esforço de todos para um bem em comum.
Enxergar, auxiliado por minha objetiva 50mm, como um olhar humano, vivendo todo aquele empenho, passando despercebido ao mesmo passo em que era acolhido calorosamente por todos, ganhando aos poucos total liberdade e confiança para ir me aproximando e “olhando” de mais perto. Chegar perto o suficiente para me ver participe, para viver a experiência daquele rito, estar próximo para poder documentar fotograficamente, e porque não dizer etnograficamente? Já que a fotografia etnográfica está ali para registrar detalhes de um grupo participe da sociedade, por mais afastado que o seja, por mais diferente que o seja, um grupo como outro qualquer, com costumes próprios, com cultura própria, como qualquer outro grupo. Cultura em seu melhor sentido antropológico, cultura como produção do homem, e como no caso xamânico, cultura feita pelo homem através da natureza para o homem.
O homem como parte da natureza. A natureza como parte do xamã. Todos sendo um só juntos e conjuntos como um espirito sob o abraço do Grande Espirito. As escolhas do “esqueleto” do Temazcal, presenciar pessoas erguendo com suas mãos aquilo que viria a ser um dos pontos principais das cerimônias que se desenrolariam noite a dentro, cercada de toda a sua simbologia. Simbologia esta que está estática no momento da fotografia, guardando aquele momento, naquele lugar, como o conceito de espaço-tempo da antropologia clássica. Captar e registrar o momento, como ele realmente é, sem a interferência de fora, sem a minha interferência, imerso em meio a eles com a minha câmera, tão distante culturalmente deles mas estando tão próximo ao mesmo tempo, a cultura se entrega para o humano, ao mesmo passo que o humano sem perceber se entrega à cultura. Como é dito popularmente “O homem faz o meio ou o meio faz o homem”, levado ao ponto de que a natureza ao nosso redor a cultura já é tão presente, tão próxima que pode ter ganho autonomia, ela, caso não haja interferência de algum poder maior, sobreviverá e se manterá por si só.
Cultuando à natureza e a sua cultura ao redor, viver para a preservar e viver para e com ela, manter a integração homem e natureza, corpo e espirito, procurando o caminho mais pacifico para poderem continuar, sem o mínimo preconceito, é o que está impresso nessas fotografias. Foi nossa pretensão, e acreditamos ter alcançado e realizado um trabalho eficaz.

VAN NUYS - Los Angeles Fire Department members past and present were joined by longtime friends of the LAFD on March 23, 2019 to concurrently celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Fire Station 39 - and the 80th anniversary of the current building at the same site, with a pancake breakfast and a chance to reminisce. The current station, in around-the-clock emergency service since 1939 is presently the oldest fire station in the City of Los Angeles, and will close this spring to be replaced by a new, more capable and efficient facility one-half mile southwest. © Photo by Robert Gladden

Just on the edge of the Melbourne Central Business District's formal grid of streets, you will find the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens. A haven of green with avenues of elms, lush rolling lawns and beautiful seasonal plantings the gardens are populated with various buildings and points of interest.
One of the latter which divides opinion is the Model Tudor Village. Presented to the people of the city of Melbourne by the grateful citizens of Lambeth in England in 1948, in appreciation of gifts of food dispatched from Victoria to England during the Second World War and in the severe food shortages immediately after the war, the village is either loved and admired, or considered twee. I happen to be one of the former, and I love visiting it several times a year, where I will often spend an hour or more. It never ceases to give me great pleasure, and I often discover new details I have not noticed before as the village sits in its own landscaped miniature countryside.
The Miniature Tudor Village which is situated in the centre of the Fitzroy Gardens, was modelled in cement in 1943 by Mr. Edgar Wilson, a 77 year old pensioner who lived in Hamilton Road, Norwood, London, who carried out the task as a hobby. He built three such villages during his lifetime.
The one he presented to the citizens of Melbourne was officially opened by the Right Honourable Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Councillor Sir Raymond Connelly, on 21st May, 1948. The model buildings represent a typical Kentish village built during the Tudor period of English history. The village is composed of various thatched cottages, a village church complete with stained glass windows made from colourful ornamental tile scraps, a village school, two oast houses used for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process, the Oast Inn, the Pilgrim's Rest, a Toll House, a mill complete with water wheel, barns, stocks, pump, and all public buildings which make up one of the delightful villages. Also included is a scale model of Shakespeare's home and Anne Hathaway’s cottage. The whole village is set amid a miniature sculpted landscape populated with dwarf varieties of trees growing around paths and roads, a babbling brook, a village green and the houses of the village themselves.
Of the three villages presented by Mr. Wilson, the Melbourne village is the only one still complete. Six houses were presented to the Lambeth Council on 27th October 1948 for Vauxhall Park. They were subsequently located on the site laid out by the Borough Engineer, but were damaged and vandalised over the years and they fell into disrepair and were almost lost. Luckily in more recent years they have been restored and are now a treasured part of Vauxhall Park. A set of houses was also given to Lambeth for Brockwell Park. Sadly only one of these remains.
The Fitzroy Gardens was named after Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy (1796-1858), Governor of New South Wales (1846-1851) and Governor-General of the Australian Colonies (1851-1855). The Gardens have a long history of over 150 years, few other capital cities can boast such a significant garden so close to the City's centre. As crown land the City of Melbourne are the custodians to preserve and oversee this magnificent garden, visited by over 2 million local, interstate and international visitors each year, it is one of the major attractions in Melbourne. It features many beautiful statues, a bandstand, the Temple of the Winds, a conservatory and Captain Cook's Cottage.

ahhh, christmas morning!
santa always brings such nice, simple gifts. often wooden and often preferring gifts that require imagination instead of batteries. gifts like this wooden tracing labyrinth.
we like to think they're easy for the elfs to make up in the north pole.
and then there's always at least one gift under the tree from family members that requires a lot of batteries, makes a lot of racket and doesn't require much imagination; like a race car contraption that propels cars through loops and a gap that, if timed correctly, will collide with a animated dragon causing the dragon to lose its poor head.
lets see who can guess which toy was odin's favorite :-)

THE WIRED ENERGY CONSUMER
The race is on to control every aspect of the house from electric vehicle hookups, solar and storage systems to energy management, which includes smart products such as Internet connected thermostats and appliances. Technology, big data, sensors, massive processing power and mobile apps will help make tomorrow’s homes be more energy efficient. The businesses that control these smart products will be able to tap into a tremendous amount of data about the habits of Americans, presenting a huge, new marketing opportunity. The utilities want to dominant this new business but so do a lot of big home security, cable and Internet companies. Who will be the winners and losers?
