Badlands National Park (Lakota: Makȟóšiča) is an American national park located in southwestern South Dakota. The park protects 242,756 acres (379.3 sq mi; 982.4 km2) of sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles, along with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The National Park Service manages the park, with the South Unit being co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres (100.2 sq mi; 259.6 km2) of the park's North Unit as a designated wilderness area, and is one site where the black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered mammals in the world, was reintroduced to the wild. The South Unit, or Stronghold District, includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m).
Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. Badlands was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978. Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957–58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. The movies Dances with Wolves (1990) and Thunderheart (1992) were partially filmed in Badlands National Park.
This national park was originally a reservation of the Oglala Sioux Indians and spans the southern unit of the park. The area around Stronghold Table was originally Sioux territory, and is revered as a ceremonial sacred site rather than a place to live.
In 1868, at the Second Treaty of Fort Laramie, the United States assured the Sioux that the Badlands shall forever be the property of the Sioux. In 1889, however, the treaty was broken and the Badlands were confiscated by the United States and unilaterally incorporated into a national park.
At the end of the 19th century, the Sioux Indians used this area as the site of the Ghost Dance, a ceremony to revive the souls of buffalo and the dead. After the last ghost dance in 1890, the United States banned the ritual, but it was revived by the Red Power movement, a movement to restore Indian rights that began in the 1960s. In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court awarded compensation to the Sioux for the abrogation of the 1868 treaty, but the Sioux did not accept the money.

Kabebedi Kanda, 10 ans, puise de l’eau dans une source d’eau aménagée par l’UNICEF dans le quartier de Mutonji à Mbuji-Mayi, dans la province du Kasaï oriental, en République démocratique du Congo, le 15 octobre 2021. Dans ce quartier pauvre de Mbuji-Mayi, les plus de 9000 habitants avaient pour habitude de puiser l’eau directement dans la rivière située à proximité, ou dans quelques sources non aménagées. Depuis 2015, les épidémies de choléra sont récurrentes à chaque saison des pluies. En 2020, 23 cas de choléra ont été déclarés entrainant la mort d'une personne. Pour Kabebedi Kanda, l’aménagement de cette source a été un soulagement. « Avec l’eau de puits que nous buvions, j’avais souvent des douleurs au ventre car elle n’était vraiment pas propre. A chaque fois qu’il pleuvait l’eau devenait boueuse. Mais nous n’avions pas le choix car le réseau de distribution d’eau potable de mon quartier est payant et mes parents n’ont pas d’argent. Maintenant, je suis content d’avoir de l’eau propre », témoigne-t-elle. Pour lutter contre le choléra et prévenir les maladies d’origine hydrique, l’UNICEF a financé les travaux d’aménagement de 3 sources dans le quartier de Mutonji, et 23 sources dans tout le Kasai-Oriental. / 10-year-old Kabebedi Kanda draws water from a water source developed by UNICEF in the Mutonji neighborhood of Mbuji-Mayi, Kasai Oriental province, Democratic Republic of Congo, on October 15, 2021. In this poor district of Mbuji-Mayi, the more than 9,000 inhabitants used to draw water directly from the river located nearby, or from a few undeveloped sources. Since 2015, cholera epidemics have been recurrent in every rainy season. In 2020, 23 cases of cholera were declared resulting in the death of one person. For Kabebedi Kanda, the development of this spring has been a relief. “With the water I used to drink, I often had pain in my abdomen because it was really not clean. Every time it rained the water got muddy. But we had no choice because the drinking water distribution network in my neighborhood is chargeable and my parents have no money. Now I'm happy to have clean water, ”she says. To fight cholera and prevent water-borne diseases, UNICEF has funded the development of 3 springs in the Mutonji district, and 23 springs throughout Kasai-Oriental.

New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to
Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of
31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the
Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force. A week after
enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed
to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless
stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured
in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s
history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney
and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked
in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together
for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to
the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again
on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF
after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking
images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow
servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to
record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made
several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his
images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places
where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which
he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia
in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory
manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in
Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children:
Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill). The wider collection of glass plate
negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).
You are welcome to use the images for study and personal research purposes. Please acknowledge as Courtesy of the Rodoni Archive, University of Newcastle (Australia)" For commercial requests you must obtain permission by contacting Cultural Collections.

The Mount Coolidge Lookout and Fire Tower was one of the last projects completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s. Built of local stone, the tower rests atop a 6,023-foot peak and is still used today as a fire lookout and dispatch center. As the highest point in central Custer State Park, it offers breathtaking 360-degree views from the top of the fire tower. On a clear day, you can see the Badlands nearly 60 miles away in the east.
You can find Mount Coolidge 3 miles south of 16A on your way to Blue Bell Lodge. The turnoff is located on SD 87 as Wildlife Loop turns back to the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway.

Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron science facility located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Its purpose is to produce intense beams of light whose special characteristics are useful in many areas of scientific research. In particular it can be used to investigate the structure and properties of a wide range of materials from proteins (to provide information for designing new and better drugs), and engineering components (such as a fan blade from an aero-engine to conservation of archeological artfacts (for example Henry VIII's flagship the Mary Rose. The facility's name is abbreviated to Diamond throughout this article.
