    Abbey Road Album Photo (Video)

    Crowds Gather To Mark 50th Anniversary Of The Beatles’ Abbey Road Album Photo (Video) Hundreds of people gathered at the world’s most famous zebra crossing on Thursday to mark the 50th anniversary of the day the Beatles created one of the best-known album covers in music history and an image imitated by countless fans ever since. [Here is a LIVE webcam of Abby Road] The picture of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr striding over the pedestrian crossing on Abbey Road was taken outside the EMI Recording Studios where they made the 1969 album of the same name. To mark the anniversary, a special ‘Abbey Road’ package featuring new mixes of the album’s 17 tracks in stereo and 23 session recordings and demos, will be released on Sept. 27 by Apple Corps/Capitol/UMe, the record companies said on Thursday. Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan took just six shots of the group on the crossing, with the fifth used as the cover of the band’s 11th studio album, released on Sept. 26 1969. The picture shows Lennon in a white suit leading the group across the road. Starr wears a black suit while McCartney is barefoot, out of step and holding a cigarette. Harrison is in blue denim. A Volkswagen Beetle is parked in the background. On Thursday, the Beetle was back in position while traffic crawled along the crowded street as dozens of fans paraded on the black and white painted crossing for souvenir photos. Beatles insider and former Apple Records executive Tony Bramwell said nobody at the time was really aware that ‘Abbey Road’ would be one of the group’s last releases.

    Going to Sustainable

    GOING TO SUSTAINABLE Lowering Landscape and Garden Maintenance Including Better Ways to Water and How to Save Water © Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 LOWERING MAINTENANCE REDUCING MAINTENANCE IN THE PLANNING STAGES Unfortunately, maintenance of the landscape is often assumed or overlooked during the planning and design phase of a project 1) Keep the planting design simple. The more elaborate the plan and planting -- Numbers of plants, variety of plants, -- less than simple lines and shapes -- … the more maintenance is required. For instance, lawn areas need to be plotted so that mowing, edging and periodic maintenance can be accomplished easily. -- Avoid tight angles and sharp corners. -- wide angles, gentle, sweeping curves, and straight lines are much easier to mow. -- Make certain each plant in the plan serves a purpose. 2) Select the right plant for the right place We all know that there are “sun plants” for sunny spots and “shade plants” for shady spots. And we don’t plant “sun plants” in shade nor do we plant “shade plants” in sun. And some of us know that there are drought-tolerant plants that like dry soil and little water -- and there are moisture-loving plants that like their feet wet. And we don’t mix those up either. Such “mix ups” result in everything from the obvious: outright death of the plant involved to a subtly stressed plant that shows various symptoms of “disease” -- whether it’s an actual organism or a physiological condition. Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Every time you push a plant beyond its natural adaptations, abilities, and tolerances, you invite problems and you invite higher maintenance When choosing the right plant, start with THE BIG PICTURE: We have a Mediterranean climate.

    Rural Economy & Connectivity Committee

    Rural Economy & Connectivity Committee Inquiry into construction and procurement of ferry vessels in Scotland Evidence submission from Mull & Iona Ferry Committee. This paper focusses on questions surrounding the design of 801/802 and prevailing ferry norms in the CalMac fleet. 12/01/20 Page 1 of 16 BACKGROUND Hulls 801 and 802 are not planned to serve routes to Mull or Iona, but their introduction was intended to have a profound positive effect on our main service between Oban and Craignure. Hull 802 was originally due to be deployed in 2018 to Uig, which would release the MV Hebrides to move to Mull. Oban – Craignure is currently served by two vessels in summer – the MV Isle of Mull (31 years old, 70 car capacity), and the MV Coruisk (16 years old, 40 car capacity). Prior to the introduction of RET in 2015, the MV Isle of Mull operated the service on her own. Since RET however, summer vehicle carryings have increased by 31% and the Coruisk was added to the summer service to add capacity. Even with two vessels there is still inadequate vehicle capacity, and a vessel larger than the Coruisk is urgently needed. DIRECT IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON MULL AND IONA. The Oban – Craignure Route is the most congested in the entire CalMac network, as shown by the table to the left. The route most in need of additional capacity is therefore Oban-Craignure, and of all the islands, it is Mull and Iona that will be damaged most as a result of the late delivery of hulls 801 and 802.

The study is being informed and guided by a Reference Group, which is being led by Transport Scotland and includes Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, HITRANS, CMAL and CalMac Ferries Ltd • The appraisal will identify and evaluate options for the short, medium & long-term development of the Outer Hebrides network 2 Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) • The appraisal is being undertaken using a Transport Scotland process referred to as ‘STAG’, the approved guidance for the appraisal of potential transport projects • The principle of STAG is that it is objective-led rather than solution-led, ensuring that the option(s) ultimately taken forward address the identified transport problems and are the most appropriate when judged against a range of criteria • The study is at the Detailed Appraisal stage, and we are now seeking public & stakeholder views on the emerging outputs 3 What are we presenting today? • For your local route (Lochboisdale – Mallaig / Oban), the following boards set out: • the transport problems & opportunities on the Lochboisdale

    Nature's Mysteries

    Summer 2012 • Volume 8 • No. 1 Nature’s Mysteries Reflections Reflecting ASU’s ranking as 21st in the world in the biological sciences, School of Life Sciences has forged impactful and far- reaching programs of research, education and outreach. We slip into the laboratory of ASU Professor Bert Jacobs to understand how AIDS-HIV vaccines are developed, then shift to Tanzania to see how science training can change treatment and prevention of disease in rural Africa. We drop in on SOLS alumni Rick Overson, Max Nickerson, Damien Salamone and Christian Lawrence. With Overson, we trek to the Panamanian tropical forest, along with biology doctoral student Clint Penick. Together with budding designers and architects with ASU’s Design School’s traveling studio and the Smithsonian, they develop new eyes for nature and bio- inspired innovation. We trace 40 years of hellbender studies in the Ozarks, which mark the career of Max Nickerson, whose path started with his establishment of the first reptile exhibit in The Phoenix Zoo; and cast our eyes toward Children’s Hospital in Boston and Christian Lawrence, whose research has changed how genetics studies can be done – with zebrafish. But don’t think that our ASU faculty and students aren’t change- makers in our own neighborhoods! Come to South Phoenix and visit the home of Associate Professor Juliet Stromberg and Research Faculty member Matthew Chew, who together have transformed a dilapidated rural sanitarium into a vibrant garden home that argues the concept of native versus invasive species. We also peek in on local hummingbirds, Chiricahua leopard frogs and jackrabbits, with new understanding about the role of behavior, disease and human activity in shaping the environment around us.
