OT: What is happening to British Universities?

2019-08-24 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
This is for the list members in the UK.

I am concerned about the quality of higher education in the US.  I read
this article about what is happening in the UK, and would like to see
reactions from informed citizens of the UK.

To avoid getting into political discussions, it might br preferable to send
me any comments or reactions off-list.

TIA, Dan

GESO: Sable Dam Scenes

2019-08-24 Thread Alan C
This morning we took a drive to Sable Dam in the Kruger Park. It is now 
the peak of the dry season as the first image clearly shows. Scroll L 
for the other images. Next is a powerful pair of Buffalo Bulls slaking 
their thirst. There was a huge herd of Buffalos in the surrounding bush 
but very little for them to eat. Then a pair of Egyptian Geese. Left 
again for a Sociable Weaver's nest. They nest in large numbers in these 
communal nests which also serve as "restaurants" for some snake species. 
A lone Spoonbill was very active searching for tit-bits in the mud. 
Having received a tip off about some Lions on the edge of the main road, 
we decided to go and haveĀ  look. There was a big pile up of cars and one 
Lion was just departing as we arrived. We eventually wiggled the car 
into the prime spot for just long enough to get a couple of shots of the 
other.
