Euromaidan (Yevromaidan, literally "Eurosquare") is a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine, which began on the night of 21 November 2013 with public protests demanding closer European integration and culminated in a coup d'etat of the reigning Ukrainian government. The scope of the protests expanded, with many calls for the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych and his government. Many protesters joined because of the violent dispersal of protesters on 30 November and "a will to change life in Ukraine". By 25 January 2014, the protests had been fueled by the perception of "widespread government corruption", "abuse of power", and "violation of human rights in Ukraine".
The demonstrations began on the night of 21 November 2013, when protests erupted in the capital, Kiev, after the Ukrainian government suspended preparations for signing an Association Agreement and a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, in order to seek closer economic relations with Russia. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov had asked for 20 Billion Euros (US$27) billion in loans and aid. The EU and Russia both offered Ukraine the possibility of substantial loans. Russia also offered Ukraine cheaper gas prices. On 24 November 2013, first clashes between protesters and police began. Protesters strived to break cordon. Police used tear gas and batons, protesters also used tear gas and some fire crackers (according to the police, protesters were the first to use them). After a few days of demonstrations an increasing number of university students joined the protests. The Euromaidan has been repeatedly characterised as an event of major political symbolism for the European Union itself, particularly as
"the largest ever pro-European rally in history".
The protests are ongoing despite heavy police presence, regularly sub-freezing temperatures, and snow. Escalating violence from government forces in the early morning of 30 November caused the level of protests to rise, with 400,000–800,000 protesters demonstrating in Kiev on the weekends of 1 December and 8 December. In the weeks since, protest attendance has fluctuated from 50,000 to 200,000 during organised rallies. Violent riots took place 1 December and 19 January through 25 in response to police brutality and government repression. Since 23 January several Western Ukrainian Oblast (province) Governor buildings and regional councils have been occupied in a revolt by Euromaidan activists. In the Russophone cities of Zaporizhzhya, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk, protesters also tried to take over their local government building, and have been met with considerable force from both police and government supporters.
According to journalist Lecia Bushak writing in the 18 February 2014 issue of Newsweek magazine, EuroMaidan has grown into something far bigger than just an angry response to the fallen-through EU deal. It's now about ousting Yanukovych and his corrupt government; guiding Ukraine away from its 200-year-long, deeply intertwined and painful relationship with Russia; and standing up for basic human rights to protest, speak and think freely and to act peacefully without the threat of punishment.
A turning point came in late-February, when enough members of the president's party fled or defected to lose their majority in the parliament leaving the opposition large enough to form the necessary quorum. This allowed parliament to pass a series of laws that removed police from Kiev, canceled anti-protest operations, restored the 2004 constitution, freed political detainees, and allegedly impeached the president. Yanukovych then fled to Ukraine's second largest city of Kharkiv, refusing to recognise the parliament's decisions. The parliament has assigned early elections for May 2014.

Here's a January 5 update on the missing guy: www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2015/01/authorities_still_sea...
I want to go back! I took this picture just last year. It was such a wonderful summer roadtrip. Urgh just 2 more weeks and I can have a break from work.
I wonder if there’s someone pilfering the letters as many shops had a similar problem ... The Mystery of the Missing Letters ...
Wish I had captured the arch on the right but there was a white transit van in the way ...
assignments almost done, ahead of target, longing to get back to the forest, missing these guys and missing you guys and your pictures
A gate in Cheddar, Somerset with the word "Museum" on it but there didn't appear to be any sort of museum behind it. Whether the gate was removed from another location and placed here or possibly there was once a museum upon this site I do not know.

Artistic dreams. Missing something. Oh, I know what it is. Talent! Damn! HMM
Best viewed on Black. Press L. (go on you know you wana!)
For me, the bestsong of Imogen Heap
--------
Oh, i've been longing for as long as i can remember
For something like this to go my way-
And it always felt so right,
And then you take it all away!
Tell me how i'm missing you, yah- like that again!
I'm still sleeping, missing you, yah- early in the pouring rain!
I'm still dreaming missing you yah- it's our first together,
You see i thought i'd found the love i'd have forever...
Now i'm hiding myself behind this shattered veil,
And i know it's only me to blame,
And i'm swimming through this ocean of grief,
And i'm sailing up your way...
Yah!!
Tell me how i'm missing you, yah- like that again!
I'm still sleeping, missing you, yah- early in the pouring rain!
I'm still dreaming missing you yah- it's the first together,
You see i thought i'd found the love i'd have forever...
(Missing you, missing you, missing you, yah)3x
(I'd have forever!! That i'd!!!)
And everything in this house is something of you,
I can't escape even though i try,
Photographs of memories;
I never knew i had so many tears to cry...
And i... yah... die (die, die, die)
I never knew i had so many tears to cry!!
Tell me how i'm missing you, yah- like that again!
I'm still sleeping, missing you, yah- early in the pouring rain!
I'm still dreaming missing you yah- it's our first together,
You see i thought i'd found the love i'd have forever...
(I'd have forever)
We have permanent daylight these days, so we can't see Earth surface when night on Earth. Missing orbital sunrises!

I bought this card from an online auction site on 31 August 2014 from a very reputable dealer in Germany. I have no doubt at all the dealer sent it. Someone in Europe however decided they wanted it more than me and stole it somewhere along the line. It never made it to the shores of Australia.
Following an email conversation with the dealer, I learned they were experiencing unprecedented losses and someone within DP was having a field day thieving postcards being sent internationally.
I promised not to complain about the heat this summer but just let me say that here in the middle of a 99 F. heatwave, I'm really missing our vacation in Morro Bay. I have to walk Benni by 7 a.m. or it's too hot for my black girl.
