From theconversation.com - February 26, 2018 2:12 PM

Za'atari Camp

Za'atari Camp | Stage 5 Changing Places | Scoop.it
From askmrlanguageperson.blogspot.com - December 14, 2017 9:05 AM

"Spongebob Squarepants has been painted on the entire side of one caravan, and an Arabic phrase has been gracefully painted on another. This kind of incongruity I see throughout the camp. Two women are dressed in traditional full-length hijabs, for example, but the man behind them is wearing a Golden State Warriors t-shirt. A man in a robe encourages a donkey to pull a cart, yet right past him are young boys with smartphones huddled near a fence looking for better cell reception. A little further down the road and on my right I see a shoeless kid laughing and rolling a tire, but on my left, I spot a vast number of solar-powered panels. This constant juxtaposition is jarring and yet beautiful, and I am taken back by the energy of the place."

GTANSW & ACT's insight:

What is it like i a refugee camp? A juxtaposition of conflicting images.

Understanding the push and pull factors that create geographic movement -- or how people, resources, and even ideas travel -- might help you determine the location that's best for survival. David Hunter playfully analyzes the geography skills that you'd need to escape the zombies.”

Solar system the size of a football field helping deliver a sustainable Sydney Metro | Sydney Metro | Stage 5 Changing Places | Scoop.it
From www.sydneymetro.info - November 22, 2017 3:47 PM
A solar panel array as big as a football field is the latest milestone completed on Sydney Metro, Australia’s biggest public transport project. It took less than six months to install the 3,287 panels on the roof of the maintenance building at Sydney Metro HQ at Rouse Hill. This is one of the biggest solar power systems mounted on a building in Australia – another milestone that shows the scale of the city-shaping Sydney Metro project.
