Newly constructed nomad vilage in Ga Ermagun. The Chinese are trying to relocate 1.7 M nomads into villages like this by the end of 2015 in the name of progress, with complete disregard to their need to move and be with their livestock. Almost all the villages were empty.
Almost 3500 internally displaced people have been successfully relocated from the UN Protection of Civilians site in Juba to a new site within the community in a joint effort between the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and humanitarian agencies.
“This is the first movement of displaced people of this magnitude out of the UN Juba protection site. Almost all of those relocated were women and children,” said the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of UNMISS, David Shearer. “They had expressed a strong desire to leave the UN site and to be reunited with their husbands and other family members. Early indications and, in my discussions with those who moved, is that they are pleased to be back in the wider community.”
The combined effort to relocate the families to an existing site at Mangateen in the central city followed an UNMISS-negotiated end to sporadic fighting between various groups within the UN protection camp over the past few weeks that threatened vulnerable civilians inside. Once a resolution was reached and people expressed a desire to leave, humanitarian agencies and UNMISS worked quickly and cooperatively to establish temporary housing at Mangateen along with clean water, sanitation and health services.
“All those involved in the relocation process realized the seriousness of the situation given the large number of vulnerable women and children being moved. It was a true team effort to carry out the massive logistical task of transporting and supporting these families in a new location within just a few days,” said David Shearer.
The Mangateen site has traditionally been managed by the South Sudan Government’s Relief and Rehabilitation Commission and it will continue to do so. Humanitarian agencies will provide additional assistance on request.
“I am particularly grateful for the Government’s rapid response to this situation which ensured that people were able to be safely moved and accommodated back in the community,” said David Shearer.
“Hundreds of thousands of people fled to UN protection sites across South Sudan out of fear for their lives during the ongoing conflict. But these camps are not a good long-term option for families,” said David Shearer. “If people have the trust and confidence that the environment is safe enough for them to voluntarily return home, UNMISS is poised to assist them. But providing that confidence in the security situation very much lies with the Government.”

The Singapore Zoo (Chinese: ?????? ; Malay: 'Taman Haiwan Singapura'; Tamil: ??????????? ????????? ????????????), formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens and commonly known locally as the Mandai Zoo, occupies 28 hectares (0.28 km?) of land on the margins of Upper Seletar Reservoir within Singapore's heavily forested central catchment area. The zoo was built at a cost of S$9m granted by the government of Singapore and opened on 23 June 1973. It is operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, who also manage the neighbouring Night Safari and the Jurong BirdPark. There are about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species. The zoo attracts about 1.4 million visitors a year.
From the beginning, Singapore Zoo followed the modern trend of displaying animals in naturalistic, 'open' exhibits, i.e. with hidden barriers, behind moats and shrubbery etc. It also houses the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world. In 1977, primatologist Dr Francine Neago lived inside a cage with eighteen orangutans for six months to study their behavior and communication.

History
Hamadryas baboons by a waterfall
The conception of the Singapore Zoo dates from 1969. At the time, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) decided to use some of its land holdings around reservoirs for parks and open recreational facilities. The then Executive Chairman of PUB, Dr Ong Swee Law, set aside 88 hectares of land for the construction of a zoological garden.
In 1970, consultants and staff were hired, and in 1971, the construction of the basic 50 enclosures started. Animals were collected from dealers and donated by sponsors. The Director of the Colombo Zoo in Sri Lanka, Lyn de Alwis, was hired as a special consultant to work out problems inherent in tropical zoos.
On 23 June 1973, the Singapore Zoo opened its gates for the first time with a collection of 270 animals from over 72 species, and a staff of 130. By 1990, 1,600 animals from more than 160 species lived in social groups, housed in 65 landscaped exhibits with boundaries conceived to look as natural as possible.
Present

Today, the zoo is a model of the 'open zoo' concept. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures, separated from the visitors by either dry or wet moats. The moats are concealed with vegetation or dropped below the line of vision. In the case of dangerous animals which can climb very well, moat barriers are not used. Instead, these animals are housed in landscaped glass-fronted enclosures.
The zoo has not expanded beyond the original 28 hectares. However, 40 hectares of secondary forest were later developed into the Night Safari. The remaining undeveloped land has been kept as wooded land. This and the waters of Upper Seletar Reservoir contribute to the Zoo, giving it a sense of natural, unrestricted space.
Among various attractions that the zoo offers,one highlight is the "Breakfast with an Orangutan" programme that allows visitors to meet and interact closely with the orangutans in the zoo, amongst which includes the famous primate matriarch Ah Meng, (died on February 8, 2008) who was an icon of the Singapore tourism industry. Animal shows, as well as token feedings coupled with live commentaries by keepers, are also the daily staple in the Singapore zoo.
Education and conservation
The Wildlife Healthcare & Research Centre was opened in March 2006 as part of the zoo's efforts in wildlife conservation. The centre further underscores Singapore Zoo and Night Safari’s commitment to conservation research, providing the infrastructure for the parks and overseas zoological partners to better execute their research programmes.
The zoo also embarked on various rescue and conservation efforts to protect wildlife.
Rides
White rhinos
The zoo also offers various modes of rides available within the premises: trams, animals, boat, pony and horse carriage rides. Additional modes of transportation which can only be rented include: strollers, wagon and wheelchairs.
Friends of the Zoo
The zoo also has a "friends of the zoo" programme, where people can sign up for a yearly pass which grants them special privileges such as:
* Free and unlimited entry to Singapore Zoo for whole year
* Free Zoo tram rides and parking
* A free quarterly "Wildlife wonders" magazine
* 10% discount at some participating retail outlets
Organizing events
Elephant show and the trainers
There are three event venues available in the zoo, Forest Lodge, Pavilion-By-the-Lake and Garden Pavilion. There are also three cocktail venues, Elephants of Asia, Tiger Trek and Treetops Trail. The Singapore Zoo also facilitates birthday parties and weddings.
Incidents
On 13 November 2008, two of three white Bengal tigers mauled a zoo cleaner to death after the man jumped into a moat surrounding their enclosure.[2]

The swarming honeybees have kept me very busy this spring. As the first night falls on the new colony most of the bees will move inside and begin the task of building comb. Just before darkness sets in I climb a 12' ladder, temporarily close off the entrance, slide the box onto my shoulder and carry it down to the apiary, otherwise known as my backyard. Moving them as soon as possible will prevent the foragers from learning this location as their new home. On the first morning after a swarm has moved house the foragers will begin orientation flights and use their built in GPS system to quickly learn how to navigate to and from their new location.

The Possum Bottom Covered Bridge, also known as the Hillsdale Covered Bridge and the Jackson's Ford Covered Bridge, was built in 1876 across the Little Raccoon Creek in Vermillion County. Joseph J. Daniels was awarded the contract to build the bridge.The single span Burr Arch Truss structure has a length of 104 feet, or 124 feet including the 10-foot overhang at each end. The bridge was slated to be demolished after a new road was completed nearby. In 1973, to save the bridge from demolition it was moved two and half mile to the west to a wayside park on US Highway 36. The bridge spans a gully in the Ernie Pyle Rest Park. The bridge- Possum Bottom Covered Bridge- is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It’s been a few months since I posted a photo of my workspace at the time of my relocation from Communication to the Service Center which showed my desk in a still-being-set-up state. Last week I finally finished making the new location my own space by getting my framed art and diploma on the surrounding walls (thanks for the help, Miguel).
The Holocaust, a memorial sculptural group, was designed by sculptor George Segal and installed in Lincoln Park, next to the Palace of the Legion of Honor, on November 8, 1984. The memorial consists of two Holocaust images depicted with Segal's characteristic
Two images of the Holocaust are depicted with George Segal's characteristic white-painted figures. One is an image of a Holocaust survivor standing by a barbed-wire fence. He is dressed in tattered cloths and reaches up to the barbed wire with his proper right hand. Behind him is another image of the Holocaust, a pile of naked bodies of Holocaust victims. The sculpture rests on a concrete platform on a hill overlooking the ocean. A fence surrounds the sculpture, but the viewer can enter the sculpture and walk around the figures.
Lincoln Park, covering about 100 acres of the northwestern corner of the San Francisco Peninsula, was dedicated to President Abraham Lincoln in 1909. The park is the Western Terminus of Lincoln Highway, which was conceived and mapped in 1913 as the first coast-to-coast road across America, traversing 14 states. It stands on land that was a cemetery during the late 1860s. After local enthusiasts laid out a three-hole golf course in 1902, the land was turned over to the parks commission in 1909 and the graves were relocated. The course was expanded to 14 holes by 1914 and to a full 18 by 1917. In 1923, the park was chosen as the site of the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.

Ushaw College (formally St Cuthbert's College, Ushaw), is a former Catholic seminary near the village of Ushaw Moor, County Durham, England, which is now a heritage and cultural tourist attraction. The college is known for its Georgian and Victorian Gothic architecture and listed nineteenth-century chapels. The college now hosts a programme of art exhibitions, music and theatre events, alongside tearooms and a café.
It was founded in 1808 by scholars from the English College, Douai, who had fled France after the French Revolution. Ushaw College was affiliated with Durham University from 1968 and was the principal Roman Catholic seminary for the training of Catholic priests in the north of England.
In 2011, the seminary closed, due to the shortage of vocations. It reopened as a visitor attraction, marketed as Ushaw: Historic House, Chapels & Gardens in late 2014 and, as of 2019, receives around 50,000 visitors a year. The County Durham Music Service and Durham University Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring are based at the college and buildings at the college are also used by Durham University Business School.
The English College, Douai was founded in 1568 but was forced to leave France in 1795 following the French Revolution. Part of the college settled temporarily at Crook Hall near Lanchester, northwest of Durham. In 1804 Bishop William Gibson began to build at Ushaw Moor, four miles west of Durham. These buildings, designed by James Taylor, were opened as St Cuthbert's College in 1808. There was a steady expansion during the nineteenth century with new buildings put up to cater for the expanding number of clerical and secular students. In 1847, the newly built chapel, designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was opened. This was followed by the Big Library and Exhibition Hall designed by Joseph Hansom, 1849–1851. The Junior House, designed by Peter Paul Pugin, was added in 1859. St Cuthbert's Chapel, designed by Dunn and Hansom, was opened in 1884, replacing AWN Pugin's 1847 chapel which the seminary had outgrown. The Refectory was designed and built by E. W. Pugin. The final development came in the early 1960s with the opening of a new East wing, providing additional classrooms and single bedrooms for 75 students. The main college buildings are Grade II listed, the College Chapel is Grade II* and the Chapel of St Michael is Grade I.
Although independent, Ushaw College had a close working relationship with Durham University. The college became a Licensed Hall of Residence of the University of Durham in 1968. It was independent of the university but offered courses validated by the university, and both Church and lay students studied at the college. The Junior House closed in 1972, its younger students being transferred to St Joseph's College, Up Holland in Lancashire.
In 2002, the college rejected a report from the Roman Catholic hierarchy that it should merge with St Mary's College, Oscott, near Birmingham. However, in October 2010 it was announced that the college would close in 2011 due to the shortage of vocations in the Roman Catholic Church, and that the site might be sold. Following a detailed feasibility study by the college's Trustees and Durham University, and with support from Durham County Council and English Heritage, it was announced in January 2012 that Durham Business School would temporarily relocate to the college during rebuilding of the school's buildings in Durham. This was seen as the first step in a long-term education-based vision for the site.
The university also agreed to catalogue and archive the Ushaw library and inventory the other collections to ensure their preservation and specialist conservation, with a view to creating a proposed Ushaw Centre for Catholic Scholarship and Heritage. In March 2019, an uncatalogued early charter of King John was found in the library manuscript collection.
In 2017, Durham University announced plans to develop an international residential research library at Ushaw College, with the aim of attracting scholars from around the world to work on the collections of Ushaw, Durham University and Durham Cathedral. The university has also confirmed that it has extended the agreement to lease the east wing of the college (used by the Business School) to 2027. The college is also used for numerous musical events and for the Ushaw Lecture Series, organised by the university's Centre for Catholic Studies.
In 2018, Durham University's Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) moved into the east wing of the college, previously used by the Business School.
The college armorial bearings are "Per pale dexter Argent a Cross Gules on a Canton Azure a Cross of St Cuthbert proper sinister impaling Allen Argent three Rabbits couchant in pale Sable."
Various emblems on shield represent the college's history and foundation, for example:-
Three coneys are from the family coat of arms of William Allen, the founder of English College, Douai. See Three hares.
The small cross of St Cuthbert represents the college's patron saint (it is modelled on St Cuthbert's own pectoral cross, which is kept in the Treasury at Durham Cathedral).
The large cross of St George honours the English Roman Catholic Martyrs.

O'Hara's and Lord Airey's Batteries are located at the highest point on the Rock of Gibraltar at a height of 426 meters (1,383 ft). The Batteries are built on the site of O'Hara's Tower and named after Governor General Charles O'Hara. O'Hara had believed that, if a watchtower was constructed on the highest point of the Rock, the Garrison would be able to observe the Spanish fleet at Cadiz. O'Hara's Tower was not successful in its intended purpose and was therefore nicknamed O'Hara's Folly.
O'Hara and Lord Airey's Batteries are two of three surviving 9.2 inch Mark X Coastal Defence Gun emplacements in Gibraltar. The third emplacement is located at Breakneck Battery which continues to under the ownership of the Ministry of Defence and inaccessible. A similar 9.2 inch Mark X Coastal Defence Gun originally sited at Spur Battery below O'Hara's Battery was dismantled and relocated at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. A photo of the Gibraltar Gun at Spur Battery can be viewed in the set of the same name in this photostream.
The 9.2 inch Mark X Coastal Defence Guns at O'Hara's, Lord Airey's and Spur Batteries had a range of 29,600 yds which easily covered both the Straits of Gibraltar (25,500 yds) and the Bay of Gibraltar (9,000 yds).

SET 8 – Oxford Kroger, Post-Expansion
Something that I’m not certain I’ve mentioned yet in this very long-running album, surprisingly, is that the store’s fuel center also grew as part of the overall store expansion project. Not only did it increase in size to accommodate more fuel pumps, the entire island was relocated to the rightmost side of the property, away from its original perch out front facing the street. Because my daytime photo was from across the parking lot, I also included a nighttime close-up as the inset.

~ The Windsor Locks Public Library ~ 1905-2006
The Memorial Hall Association formed on June 27, 1905 to provide a "lecture and entertainment course" for the citizens of Windsor Locks. A Library Committee was formed on November 15, 1905 after the Association adopted a constitution and bylaws, which set forth the purpose of the Association as "intellectual and social improvement of the community." On June 29, 1907 the Association voted to authorize the Library Committtee to proceed with locating space for a free library and reading room to serve the town of Windsor Locks. Windsor Locks's first library opened its doors on October 7, 1907. Located then in the Converse Block on the corner of Main and Spring Streets, the library's collection consisted of 1,250 volumes, 450 of which were donated by the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Windsor Locks. Seventy one books were checked out by borrowers on its first day. The town's first permanent librarian, Miss Lula Stockwell, served from 1907 until April, 1918, when she was suceeded by Alice Coffin.
By 1920 the library was open 6 days a week, for a total of 19 hours and in 1924 the library relocated to rooms in the Windsor Locks Bank Building. In May, 1928 the name was changed from the Memorial Hall Association to Windsor Locks Public Library, Inc. By this time there were 6,158 books on our shelves and annual circulation was 10, 336. 1,200 people used the library on a regular basis. In August, 1940 the library received a bequest of $5,000 from the late Mr. J.J. Burke and land from Mrs. Conant for the purpose of building a library. It is on this land that the library presently stands.
Mae Egan was appointed librarian in May, 1941, replacing Alice Coffin. Miss Egan had previously served on the library's Board of Directors as chairman of the book committee and secretary. Discussions about erecting a library building went on for several years, and in 1947 it was decided that building would be delayed for at least 2 years. In 1954 the library was offered the Swindell home, which had to be moved due to construction of the town's new high school. This offer was accepted, the building was moved and remodeled, and on February 1, 1955 the beautiful new library was opened. A new wing was added in 1962 and professional librarians were added to the staff in 1963.
Linda Most was named head librarian in September, 1969. Ronald Hubbs was hired to lead the library's staff in 1979, and in June, 1990 the current building was dedicated under his able direction. Ronald Hubbs served as head librarian until his retirement in 1998. Terry Crescimanno served as Director from 1999 until April 2001 and David Brown managed the library from August, 2001 until September, 2003. Gloria Malec has been serving as Director of the Windsor Locks Public Library since January 2004.
Today the Windsor Locks Public Library's collection includes about 60,000 items, including books, subscriptions to 80 magazines, audio books (on tape, CD, and playaway), more than 1,000 entertainment and informational videos, CDs and CD-ROMs, and a growing number of DVDs. We are also in the process of developing an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) collection and updating our Reference collection to include more online resources that can be used in conjunction with our print materials. INFOAnytime 24/7 virtual reference service is available for all of our library users. On March 1, 2006 the library, along with 22 other consortium members, began offering downloadable audio books for our users.
In addition to the director, our staff includes an Adult Services Librarian (Eileen Pearce), our new Children's Librarian (Kristin Raiche), our Head of Technical Services (Beth Morrill), 6 part-time library assistants, a page, several fill-in clerks, and numerous dedicated volunteers. During 2007 our staff invites the community to join with us in celebrating our 100th anniversary!

photo by Nick Buchanan, ODOT.
This photo was probably taken in the 1950s or 1960s. My father (William Henry Carpenter) was headteacher here from June 8 1936 until his retirement in August 1967 and this photo stood in a little frame on his desk. The infant school was on the same site with (from 1965, it seems) a different head, and was converted to a Teddies private day nursery in 2005. Smitham Primary School has been relocated to a much greener and less cramped site a few hundreds away in Portnalls Road. The old primary school buildings are now the Smitham centre of Croydon Adult Learning and Training (CALAT), run by the London Borough of Croydon, though until 1956 this building was occupied by a secondary school.
Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, making their report following an inspection in 1952, concluded with the following paragraph:
"In this school both children and staff do their best to overcome the limitations of the buildings. The classrooms are cheerful and stimulating, and there are excellent relations between the Head Master, his staff and their pupils. Consequently the school is an essentially happy community, and a visit to it is a most happy experience."
Nineteen years after my father's retirement, a booklet was published in 1986 celebrating the school's centenary. At the end of the account of my father's headship, the author wrote:
"Mr Carpenter had been Headmaster of Smitham since 1936 and seen the school through the war years. His 31 years of service represents about a third of the century we are celebrating, and his contribution to the development of the school was colossal."
