we may use the term natural landscape or cultural landscape. i always make the assertion that all landscapes are both. there is no purely cultural landscape, although downtown manhattan has plants growing places and pigeons flying everywhere and there's a lot of nature in the middle of a city and similarly the most remote pristine-looking wilderness has a lot of cultural overlay, cultural management, et cetera, that's influencing what that place is like. lastly, all landscapes are dynamic. they're always changing. there's no way of holding them still the way we do with a vase in a museum. you can put the ming vase on a shelf and maybe have some nice climate-controlled air and lighting for it and it will just stay pretty much the same for centuries. we can't do that with landscapes. there's no way of holding them still. they're constantly shifting with climatic changes, ecological changes and with cultural and social changes. that's really what i'm interested in looking at. and a prime example is national parks. in the way that we often don't no

he turned to english landscapes, plucking elements from them and putting them into the landscape. he did more than that, he blended together architecture and landscape design. the element that shows that is the two mounds that flank the house. of were created when slave lawn andg out a the dirt was piled up to create these mounds. jefferson is using a landscape element to stand in the pavilions as part of a palladium design. he took that one step further and planted weeping willow trees and surrounded the base with has been trees. he was selecting vegetation selecting trees for their growing habits. the willow trees, round and mounding, stand in as a dome. as therees stand in columns. he is creating a neoclassical dome rotunda out of dirt and trees. that is part of the landscape here. grove of trees in front of the house. jindal chronology that we have done suggest that they date to around the time the house was being constructed. the sunken lawn was planted with rows of flowering shrubs. we have done excavations to find where these are located, we have the original planting. doin

landscaping business came to see me about landscaping work. it'so not easy and many folks do it day after day and have come here from other countries. we can't find people from the landscapers today they are frustrated, customers need work done and have a hard time getting americans born and raised here to do the work. earlier this week i was in delaware [inaudible] 400 chickens for every person in my state, poultry is a big business. we met with folks very much involved in the poultry industry and basically what we heard today from the landscapers. we have wellness centers to move up the ladder for success. out of 100 we have actually 22 pass a drug test and meet other challenges and obstacles to reach the next letter. out of the 20 she said eventually five. out of the five that we hired, a number of them stopped coming to work so that is what we face. and she said please help us. as it turns out it's not just landscaping businesses or food processors, poultry in this case. when we see the monthlyhl jobs report we are told it is 4.1% and we a

the landscape is very important us to. it is our most important interpretive tool. harriet tubman underground railroad state park is 17 acres and we are surrounded by the national wild life refuge and they preserve this beautiful landscape that you see. that ensures that when you look around and you see pines and cedars. right over there you can see the black water river and the forest of this area which is also preserved. when you drove down here you probably took route 16 and 235 and they're the native american roads and known as the highway to freedom multiple escapes help us to preserve the landscape. >> you probably saw cornfields and various things being grown and you probably see timber all around you in various stage of growth and that landscape is very important and the landscape the way it looks now is similar to the way it would have looked in harriet tubman's time. in theory, if you gave her orientation and told her that was north and that was south, that's east and that's west. she'd be able to navigate this area because it looks so similar. >> so this

for centuries for millennia without seen in the course of time they have changed the face of the landscape the healing power of these hot springs has drawn people hands since the dawn of time they were in or of the water and it shaped back old chap i'm kind of it was a cultic site in antiquity and to this day it has remained a fascinating natural spectacle at the foot of the jurchen as mountains in tacky. evidence remains of happiness as secret city of the greeks little is known of its origins or history one thing is certain if it were not for the springs no city would ever have a reason here. nature's lebar a tree is busy the people water is poor from the earth at thirty five degrees celsius at high pressure. on contact with the air carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate are released climbs to his deposited protein everything the water touches good gracious white chocolate nails. this is nature become stone marble capitals from the temple of apollo suggest the importance here apple is once had at one time it was the first great cultic site here and place was the center of the culture of sev

they were followed by landscape artists. a new art joiner and much alpine paint as a result the region became famous and began to attract the first mountain ias and summer holiday makers tourism became established and today alongside salt provides the local inhabitants with a living. up until a century ago the microcosm that is how she was almost entirely cut off from the rest of the wa. design it's come a good was an economic region with its own strict rules a state within the state no one came into unless they were involved in the sultry. it seems almost a miracle that a prehistoric civilization should have flourished in this remote region as many as three thousand years ago. here man has rested from nature what he needs some timber and will to. the delicate balance between human kind of nature has often been threatened but never destroyed. and that perhaps is the true miracle. take off like me take football personally. the best of two well known gemini's the camera that's not a problem for top talent eric maxime should ta

the landscape is very important and the landscape the way it looks now is very, very similar to the way it would have looked in harriet tubman's time. in theory, if you gave her orientation and told her that was north and that was south, that's east and that's west. she'd be able to navigate this area because it looks so similar. so this is a map of the harriet tubman underground railroad byway. there were over 30 sites and 120 miles long and it includes maryland, delaware and pennsylvania. we are meant to be the hub right here of the byway so you come here and you learn about harriet tubman's life. and i'd like you to meet our bust of harriet tubman. the very important part of this bust is life size. harriet tubman was about 5 feet tall in real life and this bust is also 5 feet tall. it was made by mr. brendan o'neal. this is a bronze bust and there is a lot of symbolism with this bust. her name is down at the bottom. along the back there are some chains and the chains are broken to represent the bonds of slavery that miss tubman broke along the underground railroad. you can also see s

landscape.e blended together architecture and landscape design. elements that shows that graphically are the two mounds that flank the house. these were created when enslaved laborers duck out a sunken lawn south of the house and the dirt was piled up on either side to create these two mounds. jefferson is using a landscape theent to stand in pavilions as part of a palladian design. he took that one step further. he planted weeping willow trees on top of these mounds and surrounded the base of the mounds with aspen trees. towas selecting vegetation mimic architectural elements. the willow trees which are round stand in as a dome on top of the mound. a neoclassical domed rotunda out of dirt entries. treesa -- out of dirt and . it is a wild idea. that is part of the landscape here. he had a grove of poplar trees in front of the house. dendre chronology sick -- ochronolgoy suggests they did to the early 1800s. we have done excavations on these areas to find where the shrubs were located, finding th

today i had a bunch of landscapers, came to see me. and they wanted to talk about the problems getting people to come to work and to work for their firms, their companies, and could landscaping work. not easy work, hard to find people do it and many cases folks who do it, people from other countries. we can't find people -- the landscaper say, they're frustrated. they have a good business, customers that need their work to be done, and they have a hard time getting americans born here, raised here to do the work. early this week on monday i was in georgetown, delware. we raise more chickens there than any county in the america. 400 chickens for every person liveness my state. poultry is a big business. we met with folks volume in he poultry industry, and i they said basically what we heard today, from the landscapers are, we have a hard time finding people who will work in poultry plans. we have done a lot of things we can do enhance the pay, the benefits, we have wellness centers-provide assistance for people wanting to improve themse

underneath it is a painting of the barcelona landscape by a fellow artist.you can see that picasso has used the landscape as the basis of his painting. it helps date the painting, it helps determine where the painting was made. but it also gives us a sense of the artist with whom a particular painter was engaging. and i think these insights do help ask us new and more interesting and more scientifically accurate questions. the contour of the hills in the background becomes the crouching woman's back, and she takes on the shape and form of the catalan countryside. until now, only the wealthiest galleries could afford to scan, and even then, it was only for great works of art. but the new system is cheaper and portable, and so can be used by anyone to find the secrets behind any painting they want. here at the harry ransom centre, the curator has questions about this portrait of the american composer, george gershwin. in particular, whether a friend in the front row was painted out and seated further back because he fell out of favour. this figure here is osca

the landscape was very important to us. it is our most important interpretive tool. harriet tubman, underground railroad state park is 17 acres. we are surrounded by blackwater national wildlife refuge, over 20,000 acres and they preserve this beautiful landscape that you see. that ensures when you look around, you see pines and cedars. right over there, you can see the blackwater river and the forest of this area, which is also preserved. when you drove down here, you probably took route 16 and route 335. those were old roads and known as the highway to freedom. multiple escapes were done there. when you came down here -- >> this is a piece of cedar. it has a spiral structure and shows texture and ent sstrength. it is a reference to her time with her father. her head is lifted slightly and also very approachable. so we begin our tour right now. as you can see, we are starting in the south and heading to the north just like harriet tubman did on her journeys on the underground railroad. it is very symbolic here. this is reclaimed barn wood, a reference to her time in

the landscape is exactly what you might expect. sheer cliffs and prickly cactus are so abundant it's almost cartoonish. wow. this particular area is gorgeous. central mexico is incredibly beautiful and it's hard to imagine why anybody would want to leave. but they did. this is ixmiquilpan, now a bustling friendly place to pick up some lunch. butjust a couple of decades ago people say it looked like a ghost town. they were leaving for the united states in sizeable numbers, as they were from many towns and villages across mexico. in the crook of this ravine, a group of recently returned illegal immigrants decided they wanted to solve the problem on their own, years before any talk of a border wall. they wanted to convince their children and grandchildren that they'll have a better life here in mexico and to warn them about the dangers of crossing. the notorious crowning glory of the park was the brutal night walk, which allows tourists to experience what it's like to illegally cross the us border, albeit a fake one. their hope? that

and i personally believe that landscaping is, you know, so much more than just aesthetics. it really brings a community together. and robert was just a huge part of that, that work. so over the last year and a half, robert and his team have totally transformed the greenway of the lower great highway removing weeds and replacing them with drought-tolerant native species. and robert actually began his career working for a landscaping company that was one of the first eco-friendly companies in the city. rather than using harmful chemical pesticides, they were among the first to use soaps and horticultural oils. and after his first experience as a landscaper, robert knew that he loved working in horticulture. and so when a job opened up as a gardener for the recreation and parks department, he decided to apply. and today i'm very excited to hear that one of his -- or his son is actually an apprentice gardener over at the public works. so welcome and thank you. i see it runs in the family. so robert has risen through the ranks of the department as a gardener parks section super

it is not going to be easy, because we don't know the landscape or the business landscape in the u.s.finitely we are targeting to do something this year in the u.s. and more into the downstream in to saudi arabia. yousef: how aggressive are you going to go with your budget for that kind of expansion? are you setting aside a lot of cash for that? ahmad: i wouldn't say a lot, because if we decide to go into the united states, we have to party with a local u.s. company, as this will be our first international project, especially in the u.s. we have offices in europe and asia, but nothing in hard assets. i would think it is not going to be significant to the point where we have to go and borrow more money. we would set aside facilities at from some of the existing cash perhaps some facilities at that time. yousef: the board is proposing half a share. in terms of dividends for 2017. some of the ceo's have talked about potential rationalization, the high dividends of the past are not necessarily sustainable going forward. is that a conversation you will be having in the coming months as wel

very bad for it it's a compromise i think a landscape doesn't have to stand comparison with the painted landscape which is in fact like the other stuff that you also devise a lemon is one of ours on the white canvas is a universe and this universe is weightless it has no gravity it has no light and no dark you have to introduce all of that yourself you're not dependent on the earth's gravity heavyweights me nothing you don't need a caterpillar truck to move a work you can do it in two brushstrokes but once you've understood this image of the canvas then everything is possible including painting things upside down and in principle everything's abstract painting is abstract then you have all sorts of attempts to transfer this to something representation of like it to stand for us in english that's it and they're also attempts to transfer it into something totally abstract abstract it's a transport in the script is out for me the question of abstract or not abstract simply doesn't arise out. of tin cup pictures painted upside down have remained basil its trademark admittedly one that's wor

good burger is the cultural landscape and the interplay between culture and what people have made of the landscape one thing that sticks out is the face the back by a railway that allows its passengers to travel back in time. saxon these narrow gauge railways once served the entire region as an important mode of transportation only a few lines have survived to the delight of tourists stokers and train drivers. driving the train is everybody's childhood dream. market involvement all know you see different people every day you're in the fresh air. for you always feel pretty good. part of one of the. trains if all you feel needed when it's not well. the fifty back railway regularly takes passengers from consol to. it takes an hour to travel the seventeen kilometer is and as it comes the stoker has to shovel more and more coal. but after three fourths of the time in summer it's less of in the winter you need light as well because it gets. installed. is also a factor that means. when you're finished a twelve hour shift. you really fragile you know. even though the two probably know every

yousef: give me a sense of the changing landscape in saudi arabia.al story, how is that affecting your business? especially with the government coming out with a slightly expansionary budget. >> i think there are mixed messages coming out. in the business and the industry in general, it is the trust and confidence in the business into the infrastructure in a saudi arabia, and that is definitely on the positive side. the transparency is important. definitely on the other side, there are fees, especially on families employees and , energy cost increases. these definitely have that impact on the business. not significant as much as the retail business. what we have seen in the petrochemical two years ago when it government increased substantially, it was a problem. but it was a wake-up call for our industry that we have to change how we were running our business. we have to be more innovative, more creative in saving energy run on a able to financial model or business case model. yousef: where is the next big opportunity for you? what are you excited ab

crouching woman, hidden landscape. i will charge for my ideas.nkemifejika. bye— bye! hello there, good morning. it's going to be a bit chilly out there first thing this morning. clearer skies in many areas to follow the sunshine that we had yesterday. but there won't be as much sunshine today because all this cloud that has been filling in the atlantic is going to be slowly heading our way. and we've already seen some of that cloud arriving across wales and the south—west, so not as cold here. less reliable cloud elsewhere means a touch of frost — especially for scotland and down the eastern side of england, and maybe some patches of fog too. we are going to get some milder air eventually today — if not today, then tomorrow. this envelope of milder air coming in between these two weather fronts here and it's this first one that we need to look at for today because it will eventually bring more rain and drizzle into western areas. most places will start the day dry. there may be some early sunshine across some eastern parts of england. the best of

it's one of my favorite landscape projects in the city, because it demonstrates how landscape designity driven process. local merchants and business owners. the district, planning and public works. in just the first phase of the fishermen wharf plan. the apparent improvements are jefferson street. it was reduced from four lanes to two and the sidewalk widened. making the corridor safer and more inviting for people who walk and bike. next time you're out here, you'll notice there is more. paving material, topography, visual organization. this includes improved intersections, pedestrian scale lighting, bike parking, public seating and more. the resulting design celebrates the history of the wharf and san francisco's waterfront while creating a street scape for the walkable and bikeable city. the project is such a success that phase 2 is under way. come and check it out. >> the park is bound by 18 street on the north, 20th street on the south. the loehr street on the east and church street on the west. mission delores park is one of my favorite spots because it provides urban oasis in a

not everyone thinks of forest cover or damage to the landscape played such a critical role the landslide might have happened anyway but if the law had been upheld it would have been far less deadly the area around pretty towns sixty percent of the forest covered has been lost in the last four decades all borderlines the exact spot where it happened was actually densely forested which points to a differing different issue there the that the hills around free down odd relatively unstable and landslides a frequent arguments because what we've only seen of the people of the iceberg because if this unplanned development keeps happening the garneau see them are allied landslides becoming much more frequent there's going to be a lot more level loss of life. sierra leone is ill equipped to deal with natural disasters on such a scale. even with the help of the international community the government has struggled to bring aid to those affected. do you do still. you. know we. grieve. well. as a few that is. the the process is. all the good we did. even with this difficulty. cyril you raise a. plans
