This little mother-to-be is a comb-footed spider (Enoplognatha ovata). She had originally chosen the folds between the lime green cushions in the patio furniture as the best place to place her eggsac in wait of the young ones emerging.
I can sort of see why she chose it on account of how beautifully the colour matched her own, but for us hoping to use the cushions it was less than ideal.
Instead I successufully moved both spider and egg sac to a nearby bush and they looked alright there.
A shot of the same spider while between the cushions can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/33584305848/
Restoration work upon an obscure monument dedicated to the men who sacrificed their lives for this great nation during WWII in the 100/442 Regimental Combat Brigade - the most highly decorated unit in the history of the American Military - yet who were viewed with suspicion & treated with contempt, by forcing them and their families to relocation camps throughout the United States, two of which were in Arkansas - Rohwer (pronounced "roar"), and Jerome.
After Imperial Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, between 8,000-11,000 men, women and children were uprooted from their lives, their businesses, and torn from their loved ones, friends, neighbors and way of life on the Pacific West Coast states of California, Oregon & Washington - and were forcibly sent to this remote, sparsely populated Mississippi Delta farming region.
These monuments to their lives, sacrifices, bravery, devotion to this nation, and their memory have been ravaged over time by the elements, and by vandals, but are now painstakingly and lovingly being restored to their proper place of dignity in American History.

Relocating 66 kV and 220 kV transmission lines that run parallel to the West Gate Freeway, to make room for expansion of the road.
The West Gate Tunnel is a 5 kilometre toll road currently under construction in Melbourne, Australia, to link the West Gate Freeway at Yarraville with CityLink at Docklands via a tunnel beneath Yarraville.
Originally proposed by Transurban in 2014, the State Government fell in love with this 'market led proposal' and usurped previous lower cost plans to remove trucks from local roads.

EDV is leading the construction of a new, expanded workshop for REBUILD Globally. This new workshop will be comprised of recycled shipping containers and existing structures on land donated by the Caribbean Lodge Hotel and will allow for the hiring of up to 40 more Haitian employees.
Employment is key to sustainable recovery in Haiti ...because for many Haitians, the earthquake’s effects have gone well beyond just destroying buildings. The disaster also robbed many of their livelihoods, leaving them without means to rebuild their lives.
We are honoured to help REBUILD expand their operations by using volunteer labour to construct their new workshop.
Thanks to REBUILD Globally and the Caribbean Lodge Hotel for letting us get our hands dirty on this great project.

now I remember why
why I never let myself feel like this
it shouldn’t hurt, like every bone in my body aches
a constant chill down my spine
that reminds me I’ll never be enough
and how does my mind make up this story
rewriting a personal history, that sets a blaze
that brings my world crashing down
this fucking hurts
it shouldn’t hurt

This photo has been taken as part of the scientific effort of the salvage archaeologist team H.U.N.E. to document the Sudanese Arab tribe of the Manasir and their cultural landscape 'Dar al-Manasir' situated at the Fourth Cararact of the River Nile.
The homeland of the Manasir will be submerged by the reservoir lake of the Hamdab High Dam (Merowe Multi-Purpose Hydro Project) in the very near future and all inhabitants have to be relocated by the Sudanese government.

The cinder blocks used to build the houses are relatively narrow, but with good quality blocks with concrete poured through the holes and rebar, they are usually sufficient. However the blocks I saw stacked at construction sites and used in all of the fallen walls were crumbly when soaked with water suggesting they weren't made with enough cement.

Haskoning Delft Office
In 2025, Haskoning relocated to the former Mining Engineering Faculty on the campus of Delft University of Technology. 1,000 employees from The Hague and Rotterdam will find their new workplace here, as well as the Board of the company. Situated on the border between the city and the TU Delft campus, the new head office connects to Delft's ecosystem of knowledge, innovation, and technology. The national monument has been transformed into a contemporary, sustainable workplace – Paris-proof. The original courtyards have been transformed into bright atriums: the spatial heart of the building and anchor points in the daily dynamics. With this, Haskoning demonstrates the role heritage can play in the debate about the future of the built environment. The project was developed in co-creation between engineers and architects from Haskoning and Braaksma & Roos. Interior design by Fokkema & Partners.
The Mining Engineering Faculty, designed in 1912 by Johannes Vrijman, is characterized by a functional layout and technical soundness, resulting in a vibrant and eclectic Neo-Renaissance building. The focus is on the center of the main wing, where the main entrance was located. From the main entrance, corridors run around the two open spaces, which provide abundant natural light, good ventilation through the windows, and excellent orientation within the complex. Inside, the finishes of the teaching spaces and laboratories were kept simple. However, color research revealed decorative, colorful painted finishes and oak paneling.
To meet Haskoning's desire to create a modern, inspiring environment with ample work and meeting space for all employees, the two courtyards were roofed, transforming them into usable atriums. Due to the irregular shape of the roofs, the solution was a single, large, spacious canopy at the attic level, separate from the building, with light and a view of the walls and roofs. The existing structure offered many opportunities for incorporating a suitable workspace program. The old laboratories were designed as open workspaces, while private rooms served as quiet workspaces. Characteristic spaces, such as the lecture hall, have been preserved, restored, and put back into use. Initially, the building had an energy label G. After the renovation, it achieved an A++++ rating. "This was achieved with roof and floor insulation, vacuum glazing, and smart building services. The building is now Paris-proof with a maximum annual energy consumption of 70 kWh/m².
Birds. Spur-winged Goose. Madikwe Game Reserve. South Africa. Jun/2021
Spur-winged Goose
The spur-winged goose (Plectropterus gambensis) is a large bird in the family Anatidae, related to the geese and the shelducks, but distinct from both of these in a number of anatomical features, and therefore treated in its own subfamily, the Plectropterinae. It occurs in wetlands throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
This species often occurs in open grasslands with lakes, seasonal pools, rivers, swamps and river deltas. Large inland rivers and lakes are perhaps most commonly inhabited, with saline lakes and upland areas generally being avoided, although the species can occur to an elevation of 3,000 m (9,800 ft) in eastern Africa. It is also absent from arid zones

Pato-Ferrão
O pato-ferrão (Plectropterus gambensis) é uma ave da família das Anatidae, comum na África subsariana. É também conhecido como Ganso-da-Gâmbia.[1] No centro e sul de Angola é também conhecido como java[2]ou janda,[3] e em Moçambique recebe o nome de sécua.
Apesar dos nomes populares pato-ferrão ou ganso-da-Gâmbia, esta ave não pertence a nenhuma destas sub-famílias e sim a uma própria, apresentando características distintas e únicas. É no entanto considerado o maior 'ganso' selvagem do mundo. É a maior ave aquática do continente africano.
Habita as áreas húmidas e planícies perto de cursos de água.
Os machos são muito maiores do que as fémeas, chegando a pesar até sete quilos. As fémeas em média pesam ente quatro a cinco quilos. A envergadura das asas dos machos pode chegar aos dois metros. A maior parte de suas penas são negras, sendo a cabeça e parte das asas brancas. O bico e as pernas são vermelhos.
Pode ser domesticado, mas é uma ave perigosa, usando o esporão que tem na dobra da asa (de onde deriva o nome pato-ferrão) para atacar quando se sente ameaçada ou para defender as crias.
É considerada uma espécie invasora em partes da Europa, incluindo Portugal.

Madikwe Game Reserve
The Madikwe Game Reserve is a protected area in South Africa, part of the latest park developments in the country. Named after the Madikwe or Marico River, on whose basin it is located, it was opened in 1991 and comprises 750 km2 of bushland north of the small town Groot-Marico up to the Botswana border.
Madikwe Game Reserve lies 90 km north of Zeerust on what used to be farm land, but owing to the poor soil type, farming was not that successful. After extensive research, the South African Government found that this land would best be utilised as a provincial park, to economically uplift this otherwise rather poor area.
The process reintroducing wildlife to the area began in 1992 under the codename Operation Phoenix which relocated entire breeding herds of elephants, Cape buffaloes, south-central black rhinos and southern white rhinos along with various species of antelopes. Following Operation Phoenix, Madikwe has also successfully reintroduce rarer predatory species such as lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and Cape wild dogs bringing the total large mammal population of the reserve to over 10 000. There are currently more than 60 species of mammal in the park.

Reserva do Madikwe
A Madikwe Game Reserve é uma área protegida na África do Sul, parte dos mais recentes desenvolvimentos de parques no país. Batizado em homenagem ao rio Madikwe ou Marico, em cuja bacia está localizado, foi inaugurado em 1991 e compreende 750 km2 de mata nativa ao norte da pequena cidade de Groot-Marico até a fronteira com o Botswana.
A Madikwe Game Reserve fica 90 km ao norte de Zeerust, no que costumava ser terras agrícolas, mas devido ao tipo de solo pobre, a agricultura não teve tanto sucesso. Após uma extensa pesquisa, o governo sul-africano descobriu que esta terra seria melhor utilizada como um parque provincial, para elevar economicamente esta área bastante pobre.
O processo de reintrodução da vida selvagem na área começou em 1992 sob o codinome Operação Fênix, que realocou rebanhos inteiros de elefantes, búfalos do Cabo, rinocerontes-negros do centro-sul e rinocerontes brancos do sul junto com várias espécies de antílopes. Após a Operação Phoenix, Madikwe também reintroduziu com sucesso espécies predatórias mais raras, como leões, chitas, hienas-pintadas e cahorros do mato, elevando a população total de grandes mamíferos da reserva para mais de 10.000. Atualmente, existem mais de 60 espécies de mamíferos no parque
