LOGIE NAE MAIR
By Bill Reid
I realise that Logie hasn't quite gone yet but as the plans for the new bypass are still on the cards I would expect that it might not be too long before there is little or nothing left.
What follows are photos and comments that I hope will describe how it used to be and some of the people that lived there. It was a good place to live and be brought up. There were little or few
problems and most neighbours were good people. You never heard or saw anything such as the sort of 'Neighbours From Hell' people or families as you hear so much about today.
It was a safe place where you could let children go out and play without having to keep an eye on them at every moment. We would play out until dark where we either broke up naturally or your
mother or father would call from the doorway or window.
Long summer days when we would play all sort of games. 'Badies, skipping, bools, rounders,and, football out on the grassy circle. In winter, making slides on the frosty pavements or snowmen
when there was heavy snow.
Guy Fox nights with a large Bonfire and fireworks that lasted until bedtime. And not to forget the occasional Concert Party, in bomb shelter at the back of No. 3. Badies = Hopscotch. Bools =
Marbles. Rounders = similar to Baseball.
Hogmany was a great time with the built up to midnight. Around 11.45 pm one of the family, usually myself when I got old enough, in our family, would go out and wait for the bells and go around
a number of elderly neighbours who lived alone and first footed so that they were free to go out or at least feel that someone had remembered them. I had two such people to visit, Mr. Wilson and
Mrs. Bremner, both at No. 5., which lasted a number of years.
These and other memories and comments following on this page are what comes back to me every time I revisited Logie and, of course, when eventually finding the block of houses demolished.
Sadly, Logie got a bit of a bad name, especially during the 80's and 90’s, which was very sad for me. But at least it was after my time there. But I think most people from my generation would agree
that it was a very safe place to live and grow up.
Two wartime memories I have is of sitting out at the curb outside our home and suddenly being aware of little black blobs of what had been smoke and my mother suddenly grabbing me and
running indoors. It was some time later that I learned from her that it had been a dogfight.
The other memory is of getting under the living room table with my aunt, Maggie who lived with us and her two children, my mother and brothers and sister and hearing the air raid sirens going.
I am not sure if that was the time when Middlefield School was bombed, or not. I remember too that we used to play in the bombed ruins of the school and also remember when it was rebuilt and
new extensions added.
The two worst winters that I remember was the one of 1947 when walking knee deep to school and arriving there very wet and cold. Everyone, of course was in the same boat and we spend most
of the morning getting ourselves dried out by hanging our jackets, scarves and boots and shoes over or below the radiators. We were sent home around midday time. I recall arriving home just as
wet and cold and having to get dried out once again.
The next was in 1962/3 winter, when everything was freezing up for weeks at a time. I worked at the Tivoli then and walked to work for a time as the buses were not running, or very sparsely. That
was a very long cold winter. The Tivoli lost a lot of money during that pantomime 'Dick Whittington' due to cancelled tickets and low patronage, with many people not being able to come in from
Taken around 1955 with a 2/6d (12p) camera from 'Little' Woolworths. It was what we Aberdonians call "A Rich't Driech Day" i.e. Bleak and wet. The railings in front of the houses and around
the cul-de-sac have been replaced since the war and as few people bothered with their front gardens I remember it used to get very muddy. However, an attempt has been made on replanting.
The view is from the doorway of No. 4 looking across to No.1. It is interesting to see so many Pidgeons, as we were more accustomed to having seagulls flying around. Likewise, we must have
had a rather wealthy neighbour as seem by the car. You didn't see many cars around there in those days. The street was still lit by gaslight.
That particular gas lamp brings back the memory of when it was knocked down. Mr. Hurn who lived at the corner of Logie Avenue was a fish lorry driver and it was interesting in that he would
arrive with some really fantastic new lorrie from time to time. He normally parked at the bottom of Logie Gardens, but for a time he suddenly started parking on the grassy circle, whether legal or
not. However, the ground quickly become very muddy and one evening he got stuck and couldn't pull forward or backward in spite of numerous attempts.
He finally got hold of a couple of sacks and dug then below the back wheels with a spade. He put the power on and the wheels slipped for a moment but then suddenly it gained traction and
with such force and speed that the lorry shot backwards out of the circle and across the road and hit the gas lamppost, which bent over. The glass broke and the top flew off and suddenly
there was a massive roar of burning gas that shot a good six feet into the air. Everyone around ran off, as they feared it would explode.
However the gas people eventually turned up, along with the police and the gas turned off at the mains. Mr. Hurn was heavily fined over that incident but had kept his job. A new lamppost
was put up quite quickly, the one in the photo, I would expect.
This Susan Dennis who lived upstairs. Her parents were Mr. & Mrs. Dennis.
Mrs. Dennis had been married twice and the two elder children's surname was Matheson.
A good ten years later and things are a little brighter. The railings have been replaced and gardens are spruced
up again. However the plants around the edge of the circle were removed and the whole area grassed over as
children wouldn’t leave well alone and even adults used them as short cuts. However, it made for a great play
area. The two concrete bomb shelters are also gone. One was where the central lad is bending over and the
other further down. I remember watching the workers with the large concrete ball and chain,
swing at and demolishing the roof and walls, then the trucks taking away the rubble.
No.5 Logie Gardens from No. 4. Looking down to Logie Avenue. In the 60's. It looks
like one of Mr. Hurn's fish lorries parked near the bottom of the street.
Our front door (No.4). We lived bottom left (in the photo) and the bedroom shown was mine
at the time. The Duncans lived next door. One of the daughters, Florence, emigrated to Canada
in the later 50's and is still in regular communications with my sister today.
Going to work on the railway at Kittybrewster. Note the old army rucksack, which was very
popular with workers in those days.
Outside backdoor at No. 4 Logie Gardens, with a neighbour's dog. In the 50's. Update: Another memory came back to me!
The gap in the joins of the wooden fence used to cause me some amusemant as when you banged or shook the fencepost
hundreds of 'Horneygollachs' used to rush out and/or drop off the fence. I used to love doing that and chasing them away.
Er! a Horneygollach' is an 'Earwig'.
Outside backdoor at No.4 Logie Gardens. With 'Puppy' our dog, who lived to 12 years old
and is still remembered with fondness.
My late brother, John and brother Alex, along with Alex’s' wife Kathy. Taken on the 'Green' with backs of
Logie Avenue in the background. Note the bomb shelter.
Logie People, photographed out the back at No. 4 Logie Gardens (50's & 60's)
The late David McWillam. In his father's garden at the back of No. 4. David was recuperating from an illness he caught while
in the forces. Sadly he died soon after this photo was taken. The two bomb shelters between the houses are in the background.
We often held little concert parties in the No. 3 shelter, where many neighbours used to turn up.
Our next-door neighbour, Frankie Duncan, also caught the same illness as David, while in the forces, around the same time.
as David. I took a photo of him in his front garden, looking even more frail than David was in that photo but the photo
never came out. He too died soon after that. Both quite young men.
Dorothy Lynch and her son John.
My cousin Maureen Geddes with John lynch.
My cousin Maureen Geddes and her brother Edward Teddy), with Heather Lynch
plus myself with John Lynch. Edward & Moureen moved to Corby with their parents
in the latter 50's.
My mother and Sister, Sheila with 'Puppy'.
My mother, soon after getting home from work. With 'Tommy' the cat. 1960's.
'Tommy'. early 1960's.
'Puppy' was always known as just 'Puppy. He lived to 12 years old. This photo was taken
shortly before he died.
My old Schoolmate, Sandy Watt. Out the back. Note the back of the shops on Logie Place.
Early 60's. We have kept regular contact over all these years. The garden was Mr. McWilliams'.
Update: It was a great loss to me when Sandy died in April 2012. He was truely a great friend
and a friendship that lasted 59 years with never an argument between us. You can't put
a price on such friendship. So many happy memories.
Rear of the house on Logie Place. From our back garden. This hasn't changed much today.
Our very first TV in 1955. It was a 9" model with a bakelite box and was home-built by Jack Begg,
who was one of the projectionists at the Argosy. It cost us £15. We used to watch programmes such
as Six-Five Special on it and neighbours would come around to join in. The picture on the TV
is of one of the 'Interval' cards of that time.
A later TV set, which was a rental from Telemech. The older radio was used to listen to
the early BBC 'test' stereophonic broadcasts, which went out on Saturday mornings.
The VHF radio broadcast the left hand channel and the TV set the right hand channel.
Those were interesting times in sound broadcasting, . Stereophonics is taken very much
for granted these days.
Looking from No. 2 to No. 3. A sign of things to come as there are three flats lying empty.
View from No. 3 and No. 4 to No. 5. A path has been formed between 4 & 5.
No. 5 looking towards Logie Avenue.
A similar view from the 1960's picture, from the front door of No. 4. The iron railings are still there but there is
a modern street light. The circle of grass has been reduced by a good third to make way for residential car parking.
A view from further down Logie Gardens showing tenements 2 to 4. Again you can see the cut outs for residential
car parking The bottom flat of No. 5 has been boarded up. Another link to my time is that our TV aerial (the tallest
one) is still there.
Rear view of No. 4. The buildings are still in quite good Condition. All the fences have been removed and the
back gardens leveled and grassed over and there is a concrete path running alongside the houses. The Green
where my mother hung out her washing is still there but a path has been built around that. The clear view
between the house, with fences and bomb shelters gone is quite interesting.
The Ex Scatterburn tram terminus, looking over Persley around 1962. Persley is completely undeveloped and is open country, where
picnicing and berry picking was a big pastime during those years. Today Great Northern Road is a ridiculous mess of traffic on a dual
carriageway that is possibly the biggest daily road jam, in the Universe! Some improvement to the tranquility shown in the picture here.
From around the same spot as the above 1960's photo. Showing the new well-developed area of Persley.
'The Lanie' the lane from Logie Avenue to Great Northern Road, which we
used when going too and from the local shops. A sign of the times is the
large metal security fences that was not required in all the years we lived there.
From the top of the 'Lanie' looking up Logie Avenue. The high rise building in the background stands on what was my very first
chool 'Middlefield Infants'.
From the 'Lanie' looking west along Logie Avenue, with Logie Gardens on the left. On the right (Bottom flat) is the house where our
ex lodgers John & Dorothy Lynch lived. They lived with us for a number of years and had two children prior to getting their own home.
John's full time work was as a gravedigger at Allanvale Cemetary but worked part time as a Lime Operator (Spotlights) at the Tivoli Theatre.
He and his wife are buried at Allanvale Cemetary.
Turning left into Logie Gardens my thoughts were fixed on seeing what had happened to my old home. This is the sad sight that I
found. Just a big grassy, empty space with a clear view towards the old shops on Logie Place.
This watery hole attracted my attention, as I would never have guessed that this had been there all along. Perhaps it was the source of the
water system to the houses! However, children have been playing in it and have left a bit of a mess, but that's kids for you!
Looking towards No.2 and the natural gap that was between the two blocks of flats, with views over to the back of Logie Place houses.
The gap on edging stone is where the front gate stood and the path up to the front door ran.
A closer view of the water hole. This may have been the water mains to the building. I was surprised that water was left to run, forming a
burn running towards the road.
The gap between No.4 and No. 5. Even the 'newer' footpath has been grassed over. The Flats are completely empty and await their fate.
Standing roughly where my bedroom was, looking across to No. 1.
A slightly more right hand viewpoint with the gap between the run of No's 2 to 4 flats were and the rear of Logie Place.
A view approximately from Mr. McWilliams back garden.
From the same spot. A short telephoto view from the same spot but looking east towards the back of the houses on Logie Avenue.
We could have done with a path up to the shops and shortened the walking distance to school, but this is right on Mr. McWilliam's
garden which he was very proud of. Bert was a great character.
The rear of the shops on Logie Place. Now looking very run-down and the kindest thing would be their demolition. However, they hold
many memories of either going for a few groceries or something for school playtime. The building on the right wasn't there in my time
but I believe it was a Laundrette.
They don't look quite so bad from the front, apart from the sad 'closed' appearance.
Summers grocery shop was on the left and Simmers Newsagent in the center with the Chip Shop on the right. Mr. Summers was a sprightly chap who at the time always wore his glasses down on
his nose so that he could see his customers and then look down to read or write lists and receipts. It was a well-stocked shop.
There was a number of groups of this design of buildings in and around Aberdeen, some still in use today.
Logie Gardens September 2009
In September 2009 the empty space had been cleaned up and landscaped with a children's playground built between No's two to four.
The corner where No. 2 would have taken up the space behind the play shute.
The back between No's three and four. The back of Logie Place and the cottage type house remains much they were.
Looking from the site of No. 4 with the rear of the houses on Logie Avenue in the background with Logie Place to the right.
A childrens swing and a picnic table occupy the site of No. 4 with the remains of the shops in the background and the
rear of the other cottage type house Manor Drive.
The planned by-pass is still yet to be finalised.
If anyone has further tales or photos from Logie it would be nice to know of them.

State Farm IT outsourcing will lead to 451 layoffs; many will be offered jobs at HCLTech
State Farm will be laying off 451 employees in Bloomington next month, part of the insurer's IT outsourcing plan, the company told state officials. Many of the employees will be offered jobs at the company taking over that IT work, called HCLTech.
The Bloomington-based insurer's plans were disclosed in the monthly Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) report released Wednesday by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. It's the first time specific numbers have been publicly released related to State Farm's job cuts. Under state law, large employers must notify the state when they plan to lay off workers.
The 451 people will be laid off March 31, State Farm told DCEO officials. That's about 3.5% of the company's 13,000-employee McLean County workforce. State Farm is Bloomington-Normal's largest employer.
In mid-January State Farm announced plans to outsource some of its IT operations to the Indian IT services company HCLTech, hoping to meet evolving needs at a volatile time for the insurance industry. HCLTech will assume the day-to-day IT Help Desk and infrastructure services work. HCLTech will manage hardware, infrastructure software, and network connections support for State Farm.
When it announced the cost-cutting move, State Farm would not disclose how many people would be impacted. It said in January that "many employees” would be offered jobs at HCLTech in similar roles supporting State Farm. "A small number of employees will no longer be associated with State Farm," a spokesperson said then.
When asked Wednesday how many of the 451 people will be offered jobs at HCLTech, a State Farm spokesperson said: "Many of these employees have been offered opportunities to join HCLTech in similar roles with similar work arrangements in their current locations supporting State Farm."

The Most Dangerous Dog Breeds: Think First Before You Raise These Dogs!
There’s a common misconception that there are the good and bad breeds when it comes to our domestic pets. Even in the dog kingdom, people still stereotype a lot of breeds because of their reputation. For example, some companies don’t cover insurances for pet owners that own a specific breed.
Although we will be listing down the most dangerous dog breeds, it’s important for us to know that these breeds are just as kind. The only thing that makes them look dangerous is because they’re smarter. Thus, their intelligence allows them to not believe humans so easily, especially those outside the family.
What Makes Dogs Dangerous?
If you’re an owner of an intelligent breed, it’s important to raise and train your dog properly. Dogs that are hostile are generally the ones that were locked up or leashed a lot. This means that their owners did not even take the time to mingle them with their environment.
Another reason why dogs can be dangerous is that they’re not exercised. Dogs that are labelled as dangerous often need more exercise than the norm. A dog without its needs will make it frustrated. Thus, this shows whenever the dog interacts with its environment.
The Top 4
1. American Pit Bull Terrier
The Pit bull starts off our list because it might be considered as the most dangerous dog, especially in Europe. However, it might be also the most misunderstood breed. Many countries have banned this dog because of its notorious bite.
The bite of the Pit bull stems from its powerful jaw, which can literally break a man’s bone.This powerful bite is actually caused by us humans in the first place. Pit bulls are a product of crossbreeding. The goal here was to create a powerful dog that can win in pit fights back when it was legal.
Although it might seem scary, Pit bulls are loyal companions. Many organizations and groups out there are Pit bull advocates. That’s because it’s one of the most misunderstood dogs. If you actually raise one properly and give its needs, Pit bulls are fluffy pets.
2. Doberman Pinscher
The Doberman was my choice of guard dog. Meanwhile, the Pit bull has been my neighbor’s guard dog ever since. Both of these dogs are excellent protectors because of their instinct and intelligence. That’s where the Doberman can be dangerous. If you don’t train this dog properly, it will outsmart and disobey you.
Although not as buff as the Pit bull, Dobermans are still well-built and lean. They have long legs with a very light frame. Thus, this allows them to swiftly catch their target.
Although they have a menacing look due to their horn-like ears, Doberman’s are amazing pets. Just think about it, these are the dogs delivering medical packs to German armies during the World Wars.
Rottweiler’s are like a mix of a Doberman and a Pit bull when you look at them at first. They have the coloration of a Doberman, but have a bulky body like a Pit bull. Still, what’s catchy about the Rottweiler is its cutesy docked tail.
Although it might seem cute, A Rottweiler’s bite packs a punch. Its bite is the strongest in our list, and that makes this dog perfect for the police. In USA, these dogs are known to take down notorious criminals by biting their arms.
Originally bred to pull carts and guard livestock, this dog is just like a Swiss army knife. They’re convenient companions, and you only need to socialize them at an early age.
4. German Shepherd
German Shepherds are not as negatively viewed as the other dogs in our list. That’s because it’s been serving various armies throughout the world for so many years. German Shepherds can do it all. They can guard, search and rescue. However, they’re best known to work as bomb-sniffing dogs.
Still, they’re ranked as the third smartest dog in the world. Thus, this can put you at a disadvantage if you’re not going to train it right at a young age. These dogs are powerful both in bite and takedowns, making it an excellent war dog.
Remember, the smarter the dog, the more it can doubt you as the alpha male of the pack!
Wrapping It Up
That’s our short list featuring the top four dogs that can be tricky to raise because if their protective instincts. Other notable omissions from that list include the Bullmastiff, Tibetan Mastiff, Chow Chow, Alaskan Malamute, and the Dalmatian.
Still, always remember that no domestic dog is dangerous by nature. All of our furry pooches make great companions, even the Pit bull that has a poor reputation. The only thing that’s different with these breeds is that they need more training and effort.
Proper socialization with people, integration to their environment, and constant exercise will prevent these dogs from being dangerous. As long as you stick to your responsibility as an owner, you’re not only gifted with a loyal companion, but a hard working one too!

With its refreshing gulf breeze, tranquil white sands, and pristine clear waters (now you see where this glorious tourist hotspot gets its name), Clearwater is the ultimate destination for every kind of traveler.
Regardless of your age and interests — be they adventure, art, or zen — the sun-kissed city is never short on engaging activities.
So whether you want a trip full of theme park thrills (some of which are located in nearby Tampa) or a week snoozing on the warm sand, with a remarkable selection of things to do in Clearwater, this gorgeous oceanside city is beckoning.
1 – Marvel at beautiful marine life at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium
Besides its resident dolphins, the renowned Clearwater Marine Aquarium also houses slippery eels, clever pelicans, humorous otters, cute sea turtles, and intimidating rays — many of which are in the kid-friendly touch tanks!
With a focus on educating visitors about animal rehabilitation and rescue, it’s both an interactive and informative day out.
2 – Go dolphin-watching!
If the aquarium just doesn’t scratch that marine itch, one of the undisputed best things to do in Clearwater is watching bottlenose dolphin pods pierce the surface in their natural habitat.
Several packages — such as the catamaran or tugboat-based tours — allow eager travelers to get within arm’s reach of these beautiful ocean-dwelling mammals!
3 – Set sail on a private boat at Clearwater Beach
Arguably the most postcard-worthy strip of sand in Florida, Clearwater beach boasts crystal clear waters, beautiful marine views, and no shortage of open ocean to relax and unwind.
Travelers can hire and drive their own private boat (a surefire way to impress friends and family), or charter a yacht with a captain included.
While it’s not the cheapest of activities on face value, with room for up to six people on deck, it’s far more manageable when split evenly.
4 – Devour a tropical-themed buffet on the Calypso Queen
If cruising is your thing, Clearwater’s renowned Calypso Queen should sit atop any traveler’s Clearwater bucket list.
After digging into the all-you-can-eat buffet and admiring the vibrant sunset, dance the night away at the Caribbean-themed party with bottomless wine, beer, and rum punch.
It’s like a nightclub… on the ocean!
5 – Walk along the famous Pier 60
The 1,080-foot-long Pier 60 is a world-famous fishing spot, so it should come as no surprise that visiting the vibrant pier (whether fishing or sightseeing) is one of the most popular things to do in Clearwater.
Besides reeling in your own dinner, Pier 60 also makes for a great pelican-watching or picnic spot.
Plus, with a rotating roster of street performers and no shortage of nearby restaurants, it’s a lively evening destination.
6 – Grab a table on a scenic dinner cruise
If love is in the air, there’s no better date night than a scenic dinner cruise on the calm Clearwater shores.
Hop on a luxury yacht and take advantage of the free-flowing drinks; slow dance on deck to live music; or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the twinkling coastline views!
No matter your budget or style, there’s a dinner cruise suitable for everyone.
7 – Ride a Rollercoaster at Busch Gardens
Owned by SeaWorld (so you know that it’s gonna be good), Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay (about a 40-minute drive from Clearwater) is the place to be if you’re looking for an adventurous day trip.
Hop on the first Dive Coaster in America, enjoy the African-themed shows; encounter African animals as you glide down a zipline, and so much more — for both young and old, there’s a lot of exciting things to explore at Busch Gardens.
Hot tip: during the busy summer months, a skip-the-line ticket is well worth the extra few bucks!
8 – Feel the Thrill in an Escape Room
For those travelers who fancy themselves somewhat of a Sherlock Holmes, there’s nothing more thrilling than a fully immersive, high-tech, and problem-solving pirate-themed escape room!
If you’re cunning enough to solve the riddles and find the clues in the main experience, there’s also a multi-room challenge for those looking for a faster-paced adventure.
9 – Explore the city on a segway tour
Exploring on foot can get tiring, so why not get on a Segway tour and check out this beautiful beachside city in speed and style?
As the tour travels around its near-8-mile loop around the Boardwalk area and Clearwater Beach, expect to see all the popular and important tourist attractions along the way, including the dolphin dub that is the old fishing pier.

11 – Embark on a helicopter tour of Clearwater Beaches
While oceanside views from a cruise ship are wonderful, nothing beats the unobstructed aerial views of the city and coastline.
With a knowledgeable and experienced pilot at the helm, scenic flights not only soar over Clearwater, but also (depending on your adventure of choice) must-see places like Tarpon Springs, the Anclote River, and Caladesi Island.
12 – Relax at a spa!
After a few days cruising on the water, working on the tan, or ticking off the theme parks, it’s normal to feel a little tired and sour.
Therefore, why not treat yourself to a relaxed evening with a therapeutic massage? Choose from Swedish, deep tissue, or reflexology — all of which rejuvenate the mind and body.
Hot tip: book online for your best chance at a hefty discount to make the experience even more worthwhile.
13 – Hop from one beach to another on the Clearwater Ferry
The beach might be stunning, but it’d be remiss of any visitor to shun the other areas that Clearwater has to offer.
The best way to go about seeing the entire region — avoiding the hassle of the road traffic — is on board the famous Clearwater Ferry, with stops including Dunedin, North Beach, Downtown Clearwater, and the Clearwater Marina.
Of course, if you’re up for a decent 45-minute stroll (and brought comfortable shoes), you can always walk along the Causeway Bridge between Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach instead.
14 – Board Captain Memo’s pirate cruise
Themed cruises are what make Clearwater such an exquisite tourist attraction, and there’s none more suited to the entire family than the famed Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise on-board the classic-looking ship, ‘The Pirate’s Ransom’.
With crew-run activities like face painting, a treasure hunt, and water gun games, not to mention the dolphins that commonly swim alongside the ship, it makes for a brilliant day out on the water!
15 – Visit the Sand Key Park
Sand Key Park is divided into two parts: the park and the beach — the breathtakingly beautiful white sand beach is one of a kind, while the park is great for walks and picnics.
With no shortage of activities, travelers can spend an entire day here, exploring the different artificial reefs, water fountains, and playgrounds.
Hot tip: After tiring out the legs, eat at the historic Columbia Restaurant, a popular join relish known for top-notch food!

Sports fanatics, take note!
Built in 2004, BayCare Ballpark is a beautiful baseball stadium that serves as the training center for the Minor League Baseball team, the Clearwater Threshers.

17 – Shop till you drop at the Westfield Countryside Mall
Shoppers, rejoice — the Westfield Countryside Mall is the biggest shopping center in the area, home to hundreds of boutique retailers and big-box stores.

Once you’re all shopped out, consider visiting some of the top-notch nearby restaurants, such as Beyond the Wall and the East Shore Resort.

Once you’ve stepped inside the sprawling aquarium, guests can learn about the animals on display and even touch stingrays, lemurs, and jellyfish.
While it’s a rather bizarre attraction, the hissing cockroach-filled tree is certainly unique.

Sailing is one of Clearwater’s ultimate open-air activities, and there’s nothing better than sailing at sunset!
With an experienced crew manning the equipment on the roughly two-hour-long evening cruise, guests can simply unwind and soak up the beautiful serenity on offer as the vessel makes its way from Clearwater Bay, through Clearwater Pass, to the Gulf of Mexico.
22 – Get a little wild on a Tiki boat cruise
Most of the things to do in clearwater include boats and cruises, however, for social butterflies, the Tiki Boat Cruise is a one-of-a-kind experience that should be on your bucket list without fail!
Step aboard the tiki boat, slowly float over the water, and, best of all, down a few BYO drinks!
With an onboard cooler and ice, it’s the perfect pre-game before a night out.
23 – Jog or skate along the Marquis Pinellas Trail
The ever-popular Marquis Pinellas Trail — a protected greenspace that connects Tarpon Springs in Clearwater’s north to St. Petersburg in the south — presents as an unbeatable way to explore the entire region, not just the main tourists draws.
So grab your running shoes, roller blades, or bike, and tackle some (or all, if you’re feeling wildly ambitious) of this 47-mile-long urban pathway.
24 – Skydive Indoors at iFLY
Skydiving is thrilling, no doubt, but leaping from a plane is also extremely intimidating.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned veteran or a total newbie — with an expert captain on board, everyone’s an equal chance of reeling in huge 4-feet fish.
26 – Relax at the Cliff Stephens Park
Home to several biking trails, a disc golf course, water sports, and fishing centers, the ever-popular Cliff Stephens Park is one of the largest and most noteworthy parks in the city.

On the flip side, for those hoping to stretch the legs, the park also offers a 19-station exercise course (plus plenty of hiking routes).
27 – Wet your whistle at the Big Storm Brewing Co
Florida is known for its strong and delicious craft beer, and some of its most notable brews come from right here in Clearwater, at none other than the award-winning Big Storm Brewing Co.
A couple of pints of either of the 7-percent brews — the Bromosa Tangerine IPA or the Palm Bender Gulf Coast IPA — will get you nice and wobbly, while the Key Lime Shandy (among many others) is light and refreshing.
28 – Grab a beachside table at the Palm Pavilion
Established in 1926, the Palm Pavilion has been a laid-back local favorite for the better part of a century, with the Clearwater faithful flocking not only for the live music, but for also what is arguably the sunset spot in town.

35 – Admire the flora at the Florida Botanical Gardens
Housing a wedding garden, a rare flora garden, and an array of stunning floral pathways (making up more than 25 gardens and display areas in total), this 150-acre slice of beauty is an undisputed natural wonder.
The gardens are open daily from 7 am to 5 pm, frequented by locals, tourists, and wildlife — none more iconic than the alligator!
36 – Treat Your Adventurous Self with Kayaking, Kitesurfing, or Paddling
For a city known for its beautiful shores, year-round sunshine, and comparatively calm waters, water sports activities are a dime a dozen.
While travelers are more than welcome to rent their own equipment — be that a kayak, paddleboard, or kitesurfing gear — a professionally led experience is the easiest and safest way to test out a few of the sports.
37 – Go museum-hopping in St. Petersburg
When you’re in Clearwater, it would be a sin to bypass St. Petersburg — this small yet charming locale boasts some of the most picturesque views in Florida while offering a range of museums to satisfy all kinds of interests.

Spotlight on Congolese Women: Portrait of the Young Actress, Author & Activist Rachel Mwanza
From the streets of Kinshasa to the red carpets of Paris, Quebec, Berlin and New York, the young star, Rachel Mwanza, is the modern Cinderella of DRC. She escaped the streets of Kinshasa, where she had been living for 4 years, when the Canadian director and screenwriter Kim Nguyen recognised her talent and cast her for the lead role in his award winning movie War Witch (Rebelle).
Her outstanding performance as Komona, a young girl kidnapped by rebels and turned into a child soldier, has won her several awards including a Silver bear in Berlin last year. Despite all, she has used her fame to speak about the conditions of the “shegés” (street children) in Kinshasa. On the sets of the various TV shows she is invited to, she conquers people’s hearts with her genuine character, her bubbly personality, her tenacity and her message of hope. Today Rachel has told her story in her autobiography Survivre pour voir ce jour (translation: Surviving to see this day) co-written with Dedy Mbepongo Bilamba and is actively fighting for the children of the streets in DRC.
Rachel was born in the Kasaï province of DRC and had a happy childhood with her parents and her five siblings. She mentions in her biography, Survivre pour voir ce jour, that her life was pleasant and consisted of family, school, friends, church and walks in the countryside. When her father remarried, she along with her mum, and siblings were forced to move to Kinshasa with the grandmother.
In an interview with “28 minutes” on French arts channel, ARTE, Rachel explained how she was accused of witchcraft and kicked out of the family house. They were very poor in Kinshasa and sometimes did not have enough to eat. Rachel’s mum sent Rachel to a friend’s house to get some food and she spent the night over. That night, Rachel spoke in her sleep and the next morning the mother’s friend took her to get exorcised – a traumatising experience for the young girl. She talks about the pastors from local churches manipulating her mother into thinking she was a “ndoki”, a witch responsible for all the mischances, and about her grandmother who told everyone she was a witch. She was blamed for all misfortunes, diseases and poverty in the family. As a young teenager, Rachel ended up on the streets of Kinshasa.
To survive as a “shegé” (children of the streets) Rachel did small jobs such as washing clothes, cleaning up and even selling illegal substances. In the street this young teenager was exposed to hunger, diseases, pain, violence and rape. She was a shegé for 4 years. Rachel had her first acting experience in Kinshasa Kids while she was still a street kid. She played one of the musicians and her performance impressed the crew members and the producer of the movie who promised her that there would be a Canadian movie crew coming to Kinshasa and that she could get a role. When Kim Nguyen, the script writer and producer of War Witch, started his casting in Kinshasa, Rachel’s name comes up. Rachel explained that she was also on the look out for the Canadian movie she had heard would be coming to town.
Kim said that she had performed the best at the casting, which landed her the leading role as Komona. The protagonist, Komona, is a young pregnant teenager telling her story to her unborn child of how as a child soldier she survived because she was believed to be a witch who could foresee the enemies coming. Rachel saw a lot of herself in that character. Both her and Komona are the image of human resilience. She never read the script, as she was not able to, Kim gave her (and the other amateur actors) much space for improvisation and she delivered.
Kim Nguyen, the producer, has stated that what makes the difference in War Witch is Rachel. Her performance is not only realistic, her energy and her charisma gave the dimension to the movie that made it an award winning movie. He referred to her as a big star eager to take her first step. “Without Rachel they wouldn’t have been a movie” he said.
Her brilliant performance has won her:
- The Canadian screen award 2013 for performance by a leading role
- The Silver Bear for best actress 2013
- Best Actress at the Tribeca Film Festival 2013
- Best Actress at the Vancouver Film Critics Circles 2013
- Trophée Francophone de l’ interpretation feminine (translation: Francophone Award for a performance by a female actress)
- and a special invitation to the Oscar 2013.
After the shooting of the movie, Rachel stayed with Kim who ensured she was enrolled into a school so she could learn how to read and write. While in Canada she met Dedy Mbepongo Bilamba, also originally from DRC who had invited her to a event organised by the Congolese diaspora. Rachel and Dedy collaborated in the writing of an autobiography telling the incredible story of Rachel : Survivre pour voir ce jour (translation: Surviving to see this day).
“I do not want your pity, this is a book about hope”
Since the publication of the book, Rachel has appeared in several famous Francophone TV Show, mainly in Canada and France. Her touching story has moved the readers. When she introduces her book on set she is genuine in the telling of her story. She repeated to the different show hosts that she did not want pity, her book was about hope.
“As long as the heart beats, a person’s life can change.”
Rachel has decided not to content herself with the fame from her movie and her book. The talented young lady has not forgotten the other children of the streets and has decided to take action. After a 6-months wait for the accord of the DRC embassy in France, and with the support of the French First Lady and the Minister of Francophonie, Yamina Banguigui, Rachel became a Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO. She is now the spokesperson of the children of the streets. She has founded her own organisation, The Rachel Mwanza Foundation. She has committed herself with the help of the UN and some local catholic churches to the development of education and employment through professional trainings and job creation. Her initiative targets primarily children in the streets. According to the organisation’s page, 50 children from disadvantaged backgrounds will receive professional training to assist them with getting jobs.
Recently she joined Yamina Banguigui at the occasion of the International Summit for Francophone Women in Kinshasa. She met with the Prime Minister of DRC to discuss the condition of the shegés in DRC. She asked the government to find a solution to the problem of children who, accused of witchcraft, end up on the streets.

Commitment and the battle between good and evil are recurring themes in the story. The characters, though they struggle at times, commit to their jobs, to each other, and to the community. It is this commitment that teaches Hope the lessons she needs to learn, and provides the security she desires. Hope's relationship with G. T. is "good," but she battles internally with self-doubts (evil) in the face of difficulties over which she has no control. In the political plot line, this same battle between good and evil is fought. Bauer avoids an ending that is too pat by first allowing the "bad guy" to win the election. In the end, good does triumph, but not without challenging the courage and fortitude of the "good guys."
The major themes are primarily developed through the main character, Hope, and her relationships with the other characters in the novel. The repeated references to a sense of hope throughout the story set the emotional tone of the novel and describe the personalities of Bauer's characters.
At birth, Hope's mother abandons her. Aunt Addie steps in to raise Hope with a no-nonsense approach that teaches Hope to stare down "hard truth." "If I lie to you now it's only going to make things worse later on," she explains. Her honesty and straightforwardness provide a sense of stability in Hope's nomadic life because "Addie always keeps her promises."
But Addie cannot protect Hope from everything. Hope struggles to adjust with each new move. "I hate leaving places I love," she says. Hope gathers her courage and builds her expectation that the next place will be THE place where she will find the security she seeks. "I'm the toughest female you've ever seen," she declares.
Deena, Hope's mother, is a constant "nonconstant" in Hope's life. She rarely visits, but she did leave Hope with two things, "her gift of waitressing" and a name Hope hates. At the age of twelve, Hope changes her name from Tulip to Hope. She chooses this name because "hope is just about the best thing a person can have." From the graffiti she leaves in every home she inhabits, to the sandwiches she names to entice customers, to the life creed she develops, hope remains the predominate attitude exhibited by this young heroine. She dreams of one day finding her real father, of establishing a permanent relationship with her mother, and settling into a real home with traditional family relationships. But much of Hope's optimism is based on fantasy. She maintains a "Dads" section in her scrapbook in which she collects magazine pictures of how her ideal father would look. There is also a "Best of Mom Book," where bits of advice and the occasional birthday card from her mother are saved. But as Hope and her Aunt Addie settle in Mulhoney, the people there replace Hope's fragile dreams with a realness she could never have imagined.
Braverman, the young cook, becomes an attraction that cannot be ignored. He and Hope work together on G. T.'s campaign for mayor and share long hours at the diner. From Braverman, Hope learns that courage is often the most difficult thing a person can demonstrate. He also teaches her the healing power of laughter as she struggles to overcome the pain of her mother's abandonment.
G. T., the owner of the diner, is stricken with cancer, but his commitment to making things better in Mulhoney leads him to run for mayor against the corrupt system established by Eli Millstone. Battling his illness and the escalating threats posed by his opponent, G. T. provides a...
(This entire section contains 888 words.)
role model who "has the courage to face anything in this world and come out ahead." As her relationship with G. T. strengthens, Hope's fantasies of ideal dads dissipate. She discovers that G. T., more than anyone else in her life, understands her and the importance of time together. When he marries her Aunt Addie and offers to adopt Hope, Hope discovers she no longer needs the glossy pictures of dads in her scrapbook.
When her mother breezes into her life one last time, Hope's hurts and anger threaten to overcome her resolve to remain optimistic. "I wish like anything my mom would treat me as well as she treats her customers. Ask me what I need." With the help of G. T.'s advice, her friend Braverman's humor, and Addie's support, Hope discovers the courage to finally stand up for herself, and in so doing, frees herself at last of the burden of anger she has carried. In accepting the truth about her relationships and then surviving the devastation of G. T.'s death, Hope gains a sense of true confidence that even a little good can erase a lifetime of bad.
While the story deals with dark issues such as abandonment, corruption, and death, the focus is on the positive benefits of hard work, community involvement, commitment, and faith. Through her main characters, Bauer offers a valid set of "Rules to Live By": "be prepared"; "have hope"; "life is a test"; and sometimes, "you have to take a stand." The teenage characters are not lazy, wasteful, or ungrateful, but neither are they perfect. They serve as realistic and positive role models for young people today and deliver a clear and hopeful message to young readers.

This Heaven For Cows Is Run By Muslims In Jodhpur
No sooner does the Zohar Nawaz (afternoon prayers) get over at a mosque in the central bazaar at Jodhpur, trim bearded educationist Haji Mohammad Atique dressed in a white kurta, pyjama and a skull cap rushed to the outskirts of the city in his SUV. He spends the next hour feeding cows at the Adarsh Muslim Goshala (cow shelter) on Bikaner Road.
The cow shelter is the region's biggest and is operated by the Muslim Educational and Welfare Society of Jodhpur. Over 200 cows, most of them old and sick, are taken care off here by a team of veterinarian doctors. Rendering a strong message of peace and harmony since the last eight years, the goshala is run in complete anonymity. Mohammad Atique, general secretary of the society, says that taking care of cow is like take care of mothers and is a part of the shared culture of Hindustan.
Everyday, a truck load of fresh green fodder from Luni Tehsil in Jodhpur feed these cows. Cows are brought here from across the city by the goshala team in their specially designed vehicle. Most of the cows are those abandon by their owners after they stop lactating. "Our team members who live in the city monitor stray cows and shift those who are injured or those are old enough who are no longer able to fend for themselves," said Atique, who visit the goshala for feeding cows' everyday after Asar (late afternoon prayers).
On auspicious days like Eid and Eid-e-Milad, they treat cows with kheer. They have been engaged in vaccination and treatment of cows in nearby villages. Every week mobile vans visits nearby villages to treat cows, goats and buffaloes for free. They spend little over a lakh on these cows per month and are planning to double the strength. Spread on a portion of 56 acres of Maulana Azad University campus, Atique is developing a cow research Centre under the department of agriculture in his university. Initially, fringe elements raised objection on how can a Muslim open goshala. They were accused of running a cow meat business in a guise of a goshala.
But over the years, they won the admiration of the people and many of those who raised objection have publicly appreciated their efforts. As the area is vast, three guards patrol the area round the clock to save cows from the attack of wild animals. "Many of our university students have volunteered to serve at the goshala. I am overwhelemed by the concern shown by our students for cows," said Atique who finds it absurd that how cows, an animal whose milk is best after mother's milk is being used as tool to spark communal passions.

So when is the last time you had a totally wicked love affair? Not a relationship, yuck! Not a one night stand, fun! But a freakin’ rip your clothes off, throw you up against the wall love affair? Have you ever had one? A truly great one that always makes you smile when you remember, no matter how it ended? When you think of that man and your time together you always end up with wet panties because even the memories are that hot.
There is a difference between love affairs and relationships. Sometimes the best relationships start as love affairs and sometimes they start as friendships. Relationships are long lasting, consisting of a partner you choose a life with and the soul that you grow with and learn your lessons from. They are filled with expectations, obligations and plans for the future infused with deep committed love.
Love affairs have none of that. They are an in-the-moment union of two souls that cannot resist each other; they are passionate, electric, soul connections that cause you to throw all rationale out the window. They make you want to pick up and change your life, drop your panties and turn your world upside down. Love affairs consist of chemistry that is off the charts, the intense zap from across the room and the magnetic, irresistible pull to another person. They can also include an intriguing mental connection that inspires hours of conversation; day turns to night and night to morning and you are still awake and talking. The deep emotional connection is overwhelming – physically you can’t get enough of each other and you just want to be together. The sexual and soul connections… well, these rock your world, blow your head off and leave you thinking, I didn’t think sex could be this good. I believe the coolest thing about love affairs is that they usually teach you a profound life lesson in a very short, intense time. Sometimes they flame out and sometimes they keep going but regardless, you will never ever forget.Iam a diehard romantic and I truly believe in love. (Maybe this is why I love to write adventure/romance novels? I find it amazing that even when I am bitter, hurting and wallowing in darkness, my faith in love and romance always seems to return. Over the years I have had some awesome relationships (to those men, and you know who you are, I honour you for all you gave to me and taught me… but this is not about you!). But I have also been blessed with many truly amazing love affairs, some lasting a long time, like years and years of on again/off again, while others have been weekends of intensity or even lasting a few weeks. This is why I think love affairs come in various forms: the short ones, the long ones and the in-betweens.
The Short Ones: These last for a few days or a long weekend, usually inspiring the phrase, “What happens in Vegas/Whistler/Mexico stays in Vegas/Whistler/Mexico.” I personally prefer the “ramp rule” whereby as soon as your feet hit the airplane ramp . . . nothing counts. This rule has gotten me and my girlfriends out of a lot of trouble and precarious experiences. These love affairs are so intense and enchanting because when people get away from their regular lives, they feel free to be whom they really are. Being playful and authentic can attract new love. These short love affairs are truly magical, full of crazy shit, spontaneous decisions and mind-blasting sex. As a romance writer, I live for these! I have also lost my mind and all sense of rational thinking. Unfortunately they should come with a BIG WARNING sign. As hot and steamy as they can be, (and trust me, they have been) I have also made some bad mistakes but WOW, it was seriously sizzling! The walk of shame, however, was not warm . . . it was completely humbling and embarrassing. The great lesson here is that even though the lust was scorching and the soul connection extraordinary, I compromised my personal values and when it flamed out, I was left alone to deal with how to repair my morals.
The In-Betweens: These are the great, great love affairs. They continue for a few weeks but never turn into a relationship due to unforeseen circumstances or previous commitments. They are fuckin’ fabulous because they start out as hot and steamy but then evolve into this crazy uncontrollable connection of spending every moment together. You play, laugh and have fun all day, sharing new and exciting experiences, and then make love all night long. The special gift of this love affair is that because you know it is going to end, you love this person with your whole heart. There are no expectations or future plans so you are present in every moment and you cherish every second. The magnetism is powerful. You talk of your dreams, wishes and desires. But then one of you leaves. The tears and heartbreak are inevitable, you promise to stay in touch but accept that it probably wouldn’t have worked in the real world anyway. The added bonus about in-betweens is that they always restore your belief in how truly amazing you are! They show up at the perfect point in your life, a time when you need restoration and reconnection to a part of you that may have been lost in a past relationship. Or these encounters remind of us of our dreams and the person we truly want to be. When they end, even though it’s sad, we are free! Free to pursue want we want and who we want to be. One of my best in-betweens actually showed up on a white horse and taught me to believe in my sexiness. Another was a very yummy younger man who adored me and brought out my fun, playful side that I had lost for a long time.
The Long Ones: These rip your heart out again and again. They can be on-again/off-again or can reappear in your life decades later. Somehow this soul ends up on your path over and over again. These love affairs take self-growth and learning to a new level, ultimately teaching us unconditional love of ourselves and the other person. They usually start out as a short love affair or in-between but end up growing into an “almost” relationship or you give it a go and it doesn’t work out for some reason. But you can never seem to get this person out of your system. Why? Because you are not meant to. These love affairs have it all. They have the mind-blasting chemistry, toe-curling sex, deep emotional understanding and, on a soulful level, each soul is more content when they are together and no, it cannot be explained.
I have been blessed to experience one of these and it will likely continue at some point when we reconnect (he is probably reading this right now, as I know he reads everything I write). This love affair has been on and off for 14 years, our soul connection so deep that I doubt it will ever end. We have gone years without contact, having other significant relationships, but somehow we always end up back in each other’s lives. We might never end up together but the love, and of course the heartbreak (there has been lots of that), has been truly epic. The life and love lessons that we were meant to experience with each other have transformed both our lives. This makes a great love affair, the one that got away always sneaking into the back of your mind making you wonder, what if?
Love is the real reason we are all on this planet, overruling money, ego, fear and all the other crap. If you don’t have love, it’s a pretty lonely life. Love affairs should be celebrated! They teach us to grow and evolve, each one unique in its own way. Certain souls are meant to enter our lives, sometimes for a short time, sometimes for a long time and sometimes just in between. The true gift of a love affair is to encourage us to remember all that we are meant to be. We become free to just love each other for that precious moment. Sometimes they become a relationship but most of the time they don’t, still each one gives us a special gift. When you have your next love affair, just enjoy it for what it is because all you really have is that moment. But you will always have the incredibly hot memories! WOW!

Construction Of New Homes Surges To Four-Year High
The rate at which builders began work on new homes surged to a four-year high, the Commerce Department said today.
The AP reports that September clocked the fastest pace since July of 2008. The AP adds:
"The Commerce Department says builders broke ground at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000 in September. That's an increase of 15% from August.
"Applications for building permits, a sign of future construction, jumped nearly 12% to an annual rate of 894,000, also the highest since July 2008.
"The strength in September came from both single-family construction, which rose 11%, and apartments, which increased 25.1%."
Bloomberg reports that this is a sign of recovery but "the level of starts remains below the pre-recession peak, limiting how much the industry can boost the rate of expansion."
Brian Jones, an economist who spoke to Bloomberg, said the "housing market has turned... but we still have a long way to go." He also adds that an increase in housing starts brings an increase in jobs.

Development and Execution of Online Training Course on Conjunctive Management, Groundwater Governance and Cooperation on Transboundary Aquifers
Contract duration 7 months (30 October 2021- 30 May 2022)
The GEF-Project “Improving IWRM, knowledge-based management and governance of the Niger Basin and the Iullemeden-Taoudeni/Tanezrouft Aquifer System (NB-ITTAS)” aims at improving knowledge-based management, governance and resource conservation of the Niger River Basin and the Iullemeden-Taoudeni/Tanezrouft Aquifers (ITTAS), to support IWRM for the benefit of communities and the resilience of ecosystems. The project rationale is that water resources of the Niger River are highly interlinked with the groundwater of the ITTAS system and this calls for the planned integrated co-management of surface and groundwater resources (conjunctive management).
The core funding of the project is provided by GEF with additional support, as co-financing from partners and beneficiary countries and organizations. The project is implemented through UNDP and UNEP and executed by Niger Basin Authority (NBA) and UNIDO for UNDP’s component and by the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) and UNESCO for UNEP’s component. The project geographic scope encompasses all the riparian states of the Niger Basin and the aquifer countries sharing the greater Iullemeden-Taoudeni/Tanezrouft Aquifer system. The (11) beneficiary countries are Algeria, Benin, Burkina, Cameroon, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Nigeria.
The project will progress towards this objective through the execution of four components with respective outcomes. The four components of the project are
Component 1: Promoting conjunctive management of ground and surface waters. The main aim of this component is to complete the TDA for the entire ITTAS and develop the ITTAS SAP (shared action program). This should be done early on so that the findings can be fully taken into account in other components of the project, in particular defining conjunctive management pilots under Component 2.
Component 2: Sharing responsibilities and benefits with local communities, civil society in conserving basin resources, including groundwater. The purpose of this component is to implement a wide range of community-based projects aimed at addressing many of the key issues and challenges originally identified in the TDA/SAP/SDAP as well as those conjunctive management pilots anticipated to be identified in the Niger and ITTAS TDA/SAP under Component 1.
Component 3: Strengthening industries’ environmental/social responsibility capacities. Component 3 aims at encouraging the industry to reduce pollution through the adoption of best practices and new technology. A win-win approach is a key driver of this approach with private companies encouraged to invest in environmentally responsible behaviour and making savings over time, especially since policy and legal changes are expected to increasingly punish environmentally irresponsible behavior.
Component 4: Capacity building and stakeholders involvement in Niger River ecosystem-based management. Component 4 is cross-cutting in nature and is aimed at supporting the required building of capacity to ensure that national policies and institutions are in place towards ecosystem-based management of the Niger River basin.
Corresponding to each of these components the following four outcomes are expected from the project
1. IWRM is supported by a sound understanding of groundwater resources and their linkages with surface water systems.
2. Niger Basin Users Associations and National NGOs engaged in basin resources management and conservation for better control of flood/drought/pollution, reduction of pressure on land, forest and biodiversity while improving living conditions of households.
3. Introduce a systematic and integrated approach of industrial competitiveness and environmental/social responsibility through Environmentally Sound Technology (TEST) to reduce wastewater discharges and pollution loads in the Niger River introduced and demonstrated.
4. National Policies and Institutions, Civil Society Platforms support Niger River Ecosystem-based management.
UNESCO is involved in Component 4 of the project (limited to output 4.1.1 and 4.1.2), jointly with the other implementing partners (NBA and OSS), for the implementation of Component 4 of the project, dedicated to cross-cutting capacity building and stakeholders’ involvement in the Niger River ecosystem-based management. More specifically, UNESCO’s involvement is concerned with the governance dimension of Conjunctive Management and support for the development of governance options integrating surface and groundwater resources.

These Gluten Free Pumpkin Oat and Nut Muffins are PACKED with healthy nutrients. They’re dense and filling, and even though they’re small, you’ll only need to eat one to feel satisfied, which makes them the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. They’re semi-sweet and full of texture from the chopped walnuts.
A word of advice: don’t go into these muffins expecting a fluffy, super sweet muffin. Think of them more like an energy bar in muffin form. That’s not to say they aren’t delicious- they are super yummy. But with only half a cup of sugar in the whole batch (honey or maple syrup can also be used) and a ton of chopped walnuts in every bite, they are crunchy, dense, and only slightly sweet.
This recipe was inspired by oatmeal. It seems that at any given point in October or November, I always have a small amount of canned pumpkin leftover from a recipe that I somehow need to use up. I usually make oatmeal with it by mixing together some oats, a spoonful of the pumpkin, walnuts, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, microwaving it, and adding in some maple syrup. Oh boy- it’s delicious (and if you need to use up some pumpkin, I recommend you try it!).
These muffins use almost the exact same ingredients as the oatmeal- oats, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (pecans can also be used). If I weren’t on a “baby budget” right now, I’d have sweetened them with maple syrup, but I used brown sugar instead.
It’s like oatmeal, in muffin form, to go!…


HANNOVER MESSE 2020,

For the hydrogen production from renewable energy sources the method of electrolysis shows promising potential. In order to optimize the performance and degree of efficiency of the electrolyser stack, a special test station is needed. HORIBA FuelCon offers the test station series Evaluator-EC for cell tests and Evaluator-ES for the automated testing of alkaline or PEM electrolyzer stacks.
The test stands Evaluator-EC (cell level) and Evaluator-ES (stack level) enable the automated testing in the power range from a few watts up to 5 MW in electrolysis voltages of up to 1,000 V and maximum current up to 1,000 A. The system is specially designed for high-pressure electrolyzers with comparatively high operation pressures up to 100 bar. Thus, energy can be saved during the later hydrogen compression within the hydrogen storage process.
Through sophisticated process engineering, a well-regulated water supply of the electrolyzer stack with a constant pressure level can be assured and therefore avoids pressure peaks. In order to gain information for the reduction of cell voltages, the parallel cell voltage monitoring of up to 700 single cells is possible.
For the fully automated testing of SOFC electrolysers we offer retrofittable extension options for our standard SOFC test rigs Evaluator-HT. The centerpiece is HORIBA Fuelcons proprietary pulsation free evaporator assembly. Due to the extremely uniform evaporation of the water pressure, fluctuations and associated fluctuations in the cell voltages are avoided. The steam production can be carried out with or without the use of carrier gas.
Evaporator assemblies are available in different sizes according to customer requirements. The desired amount of steam and temperature is precisely adjustable.

I do find the pamzerwerfer a little op as it deals excellent damage in a single salvo.
I can see what Cultist is saying however, the katyusha fires four rockets per salvo while the panzerwerfer fires ten.
My point is that with the katyusha you will only have a good effect with one salvo unless your player is a scrub lord and does not retreat/move.
I know its closer to risk and reward but the panzerwerfer wins in this case (when firing close to their target).
It really depends on how you see the role on both Katy and Werfer.
If we speak about braking the enemy line, then Katy is much better, because of its scatter as we already said, and longer barrage. Katy usually able to hit multiple targets spread around front line, and there is no way you can escape rocket, without retreating all your force or relocating them. Not always, but usually.
PW on the other hand is dealy for blobs, its annihilates them, better then katy, but besides that PW is not much better then Katy. Yes, it has 10 rockets per salvo, but they are aether drop on the middle of the circle (if you shoot close to target) which means that everything in circle will be wiped with first few rockets so more rockes per salvo don't make much more difference. Or, if you use it at long\med, distance even 10 rockets wont do much usually.
Different units, I may say. Both pretty dem effective and wipe everything in a blink of the eye if used close to target, PW simply is slightly better at this role, while katy is better at breaking enemy line.
Pinning and suppression are slightly OP, so we can get rid of it. But effectivness should stay as it is, because Ost don't have any proper tools to fight against blobs and destroy them, besides werfer.
