October 2 - It's hard to make a fish say cheese. They don't sit around in one place long enough to be photographed. This one is named Cher. I think Sonny was hiding somewhere.

 

See if you can spot one on my RoomCam too.

Pins 16 and 2 are both strapped to +5V. This mod separates pin 16 from pin 2, and the wire brings +5V back, to power the multiplexor. Note that the solder (and pin remnants) have been removed from the pass-through hole. Since this hole connects through to pin 2, it will be used to take an the address line through from underneath.

Here we have a VDLBus SB120 Wright Cadet 2.

 

It has the fleet number 2548 and is allocated to Arriva North West's Runcorn depot. It is seen here at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

The Oregon Zoo was founded in 1888, making it the oldest North American zoo west of the Mississippi.[2] It all began with two grizzly bears purchased by Richard Knight.

 

A former seaman turned pharmacist, Knight began collecting animals from his seafaring friends. He kept his collection in the back of his drug store on Third & Morrison streets. When caring for the animals became too large a responsibility he sought to sell them to the city of Portland. Instead of buying the animals, the city offered to give Knight two circus cages and allowed him to place the caged bears on the grounds of City Park (now called Washington Park).

 

Care and feeding of the bears, however, still fell to the Knight family and friends. It wasn't long before Knight addressed the city council again regarding the bears. Just five months later, he offered to donate the young grizzly, along with its cage (it is unclear what happened to the second bear) to the city. Portland City Council accepted his offer on November 7, 1888, and began the Portland Zoo.

 

By 1894 there were over 300 animals in the zoo’s collection. In 1925, the zoo moved to the site of the present Portland Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its current site, designed by Lawrence, Tucker & Wallmann.[7] The zoo was renamed the Portland Zoological Gardens in 1959.[2] At this time, Washington Park and Zoo Railway was constructed to connect the zoo to its former site, and the other attractions in Washington Park.

 

The zoo became popular locally in 1953, when Rosy the Asian elephant was acquired. The zoo became world-famous in 1962 when the Asian elephant "Packy" was born. He was the first elephant born in the western hemisphere in 44 years and is (as of 2010) the tallest Asian elephant in the United States at 10.5 ft (3.2 m) tall. A total of 28 more calves have been born at the Oregon Zoo, including seven sired by Packy (two of which still live with him), making it the most successful zoo elephant breeding program in the world. On August 23, 2008, Rose-Tu, the granddaughter of the zoo's first elephant Rosy, gave birth to a son named Samudra. This makes Samudra the first third generation captive born elephant in North America.[8]

 

In 1971, management was given to Metro, which continues expansion projects, aided by donors, sponsors and volunteers.[2] The zoo was renamed in 1976 as the Washington Park Zoo after a naming contest.[2] The Metro Council changed the zoo's name from the Washington Park Zoo to the Oregon Zoo in April 1998.[3] In September of that year, the zoo became accessible by the region's MAX light rail system, with the opening of a Westside MAX line featuring an underground Washington Park station.[9] In 2003, the zoo began participation in a California condor recovery program started by San Diego Wild Animal Park and Los Angeles Zoo. The program is designed to breed California condors to be released into the wild and save them from extinction.[10]

 

In November 2008 regional voters approved a $125 million bond measure to improve infrastructure, enhance older exhibits and increase access to conservation education and the degree of sustainability.[11] Attendance at the zoo reached a record 1.6 million visitors for their 2008 to 2009 year.[6] The record was due in part to the birth of another baby elephant.[6] A new record was set the following year with 1,612,359 people visiting the zoo.[12]

Many people recommend the MightyBrite XtraFlex 2 as a reading light for your kindle. Here are the reasons why

 

1) It uses standard AAA instead of lithiums so it’s easier to buy chargers

2) you can twist it to avoid flare

3) It uses LEDs so it's better for the environment, lasts longer, and uses less power

4) It's really bright

5) It has two LEDs so it has a dim mode (one LED)

 

Strangely neither Amazon nor the manufacturer (Gold Crest LLC) sell the MightyBrite in the color I wanted (white to match the Kindle). However, you can get it in that color if you buy it from the manufacturer via Amazon. Weird!

 

When using it on the Kindle there are a couple of things to note

1) There is a lot of specular flare. You should twist it and view at an angle to avoid. In the photos I tried to minimize the flare but it’s hard to as my camera position wasn’t where my setup position was.

2) It’s better clipped to the cover and Kindle at the same time. The Kindle by itself isn’t thick enough and there is some play

3) LEDs have nice contrast (these are white LEDs not warm ones). The e-Ink display has a slight greenish tint to it that becomes noticeable with warm lights under low power (incandescents). That isn’t the case with this. I took some close-ups so you can see what I mean. Note that the ambient lighting used to photograph the "lights off" version of the photos were taken under a white LED task lamp with a 2x75W incadescent ambient light in the background.

My first deep-sky astrophoto since January 2... it hasn't been a good winter for astrophotography!

 

Comet 41P/TGK orbits the sun every 5.4 years and has an average distance of 3.1 AU. It is conveniently placed for North American viewers, as it is currently near the North Celestial Pole.

 

These comet shots are always a lot of work, as the comet moves with respect to the starry background over the time of the imaging session. So, stack using the stars, stack using the comet, then mush the two together without messing things up too much.

 

Just in case you were wondering, that galaxy in the lower right-hand corner is NGC 3978, a 12th magnitude spiral.

Round 2....

It was an intense afternoon of severe weather. Made it back home & got everything downloaded & recharged. Just in time for round 2.

 

Next storm approached from the northwest. Tons of CC (Cloud to Cloud) lightning burst with some forked lightning. Though the cloud layers before the storm started to block my view as it moved almost east northeast across the city views.

My students choice project this week has three purposes. 1-It's my drawing lab project. 2-It's a Pinwheel for Peace celebrating the International Day of Peace. 3-It's the Diva's challenge this week. This took longer than I thought it would, but I'm happy with the result. This is the front.

Trifolium pratense (Red Clover) is a species of clover, native to Europe, western Asia and northwest Africa, but planted and naturalised in many other regions.

    

It is an herbaceous, short lived perennial plant, variable in size, growing to 20–80 cm tall. The leaves are alternate, trifoliate (with three leaflets), each leaflet 15–30 mm long and 8–15 mm broad, green with a characteristic pale crescent in the outer half of the leaf; the petiole is 1–4 cm long, with two basal stipules. The flowers are dark pink with a paler base, 12–15 mm long, produced in a dense inflorescence.

    

It is widely grown as a fodder crop, valued for its nitrogen fixation which increases soil fertility. For these reasons it is used as a green manure crop. Several Cultivar Groups have been selected for agricultural use, mostly derived from var. sativum. It has become naturalised in many temperate areas, including the Americas and Australasia as an escape from cultivation.

    

Red clover restores and balances hormonal function and nourishes the uterus. Red Clover contains isoflavones (estrogen-like compounds) which promote estrogen production and which may enhance fertility in women and boost estrogen levels in women with estrogen deficiencies. In addition, the Red Clover contains calcium and magnesium which can relax the nervous system and improve fertility. Traditionally, Red Clover has been administered to help restore irregular menses and to balance the acid-alkaline level of the vagina to promote conception.[1]

    

The isoflavones (like irilone and pratensein) and phytoestrogens from red clover have been used to treat the symptoms of menopause.[2] It has also been reported that red clover has been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, such as bronchitis, burns, cancers, ulcers, sedation, asthma, and syphilis.[3]

    

It is an ingredient in eight-herb essiac tea.

    

IC 405 (also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, SH 2-229, or Caldwell 31) is an emission/reflection nebula[1] in the constellation Auriga, surrounding the bluish star AE Aurigae. It shines at magnitude +6.0. Its celestial coordinates are RA 05h 16.2m dec +34° 28′.[2] It surrounds the irregular variable star AE Aurigae and is located near the emission nebula IC 410, the open clusters M38 and M36, and the naked-eye K-class star Hassaleh. The nebula measures approximately 37.0' x 19.0', and lies about 1,500 light-years away from Earth.[2] It is believed that the proper motion of the central star can be traced back to the Orion's Belt area.[2] The nebula is about 5 light-years across

Probably the best-known cenotaph in the modern world is the one that stands in Whitehall, London. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who conceived the idea from the name of a structure in Gertrude Jekyll's garden[1], and constructed from Portland stone between 1919 and 1920 by Holland, Hannen & Cubitts. It replaced Lutyen's identical wood-and-plaster cenotaph erected in 1919 for the Allied Victory Parade commissioned by David Lloyd George, and is a Grade I listed building.[2] It is undecorated save for a carved wreath on each end and the words "The Glorious Dead", chosen by Rudyard Kipling.

Splendid Politics (Hangul: 화정; hanja: 華政; RR: Hwajeong) is a 2015 South Korean television series starring Cha Seung-won, Lee Yeon-hee, Kim Jae-won, Seo Kang-joon, Han Joo-wan and Jo Sung-ha.[1][2] It airs on MBC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 for 50 episodes beginning April 13, 2015.

 

The Korean title Hwajeong is a shortened version of Hwaryeohan Jeongchi (literally "Splendid Politics").

Jen Lobo recently completed this cover illustration for Do Fun Stuff: Vol. 2. It's a compilation album organized by Ryan Marshall of Pacing the Panic Room, and all of the proceeds go to aid in the research of Smith Magenis Syndrome, a chromosomal disorder that is in the early stages of discovery.

Kryal Castle is a legendary land of adventure, with knights, dragons, wizards, kings, queens, princesses, fairies and so much more.

 

Once you cross the drawbridge, a kingdom of myth, magic and fantasy will enthrall you. An adventurous, fun-filled day within the sprawling village awaits.

 

Journey through the chambers of the Dragons Labyrinth, which reveals the legend of Kryal; experience the drama of a medieval joust, as knights and their warhorses battle it out on the main arena; get lost in our maze; be enchanted by pantomimes; or learn the ancient art of archery.

 

Extend the adventure and sleep like a King or Queen for the night in beautifully appointed Castle Suites, capturing the glory and mystery of times past.

 

Kryal Castle has been transformed to create a family-friendly venue, which in 2013, won the coveted title of Victoria’s best new tourism development and was named Gold Award Winner – Tourist Attraction at the 2015 RACV Victorian Tourism Awards

 

History of Kryal

A castle fit for a King!

 

Kryal Castle emerged from the vision of one man – Keith Ryall.

 

As a young boy Keith received a gift from his uncle who had returned from World War 2. It was a captured enemy sword. Keith instantly became enraptured by it, making his declaration that he would one day build his own castle and become a king!

 

As a young man Keith continued to follow his dream and avidly learnt all he could of the medieval era. He learnt to fashion armour and swords in the shed behind his house in Creswick, and as the demand for his work grew, so too did his need for an ‘appropriate’ place to work from…

 

In 1972, Keith began building the castle, which formally opened 2 years later primarily as a tourist attraction but also as an educational, conference and function facility with ‘royal’ accommodation and a wedding chapel.

Patmos (Greek, Πάτμος; Italian: Patmo) is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. One of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese complex,[2]) it has a population of 2,998 and an area of 34.05 km2 (13.15 sq mi). The highest point is Profitis Ilias, 269 metres (883 ft) above sea level. The Municipality of Patmos, which includes the offshore islands of Arkoi (pop. 44), Marathos (pop. 5), and several uninhabited islets, has a total population of 3,047 (2011 census) [3] and a combined land area of 45.039 square kilometres (17.390 sq mi). It is part of the Kalymnos regional unit.

 

Patmos' main communities are Chora (the capital city), and Skala, the only commercial port. Other settlements are Grikou and Kampos. The churches and communities on Patmos are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In 1999, the island's historic center Chora, along with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse, were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.[4] The monastery was founded by Saint Christodulos.[5] Patmos is also home to the Patmian School, a notable Greek seminary.

 

Patmos is mentioned in the New Testament Book of Revelation. The book's introduction states that its author, John, was on Patmos when he was given (and recorded) a vision from Jesus. Early Christian tradition identified this writer John of Patmos as John the Apostle, though some modern scholars are uncertain. As such, Patmos is a destination for Christian pilgrimage. Visitors can see the cave where John is said to have received his Revelation (the Cave of the Apocalypse), and several monasteries on the island are dedicated to Saint John.

Antwerp is on the river Scheldt, linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde estuary. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world, ranking third in Europe and within the top 20 globally.[5]

 

Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries, both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the Dutch Revolt. The inhabitants of Antwerp are nicknamed Sinjoren, after the Spanish honorific señor or French seigneur, "lord", referring to the Spanish noblemen who ruled the city in the 17th century

Partially still used by Amtrak, partially abandoned and rotty.

 

I didn't cross the tracks to get a good picture because:

1.) It was raining really hard

2.) It was weedy over there and I was in a dress

3.) I was wearing sandals and in no shape to run away if a train happened to come

 

Built 1889, and expanded at different points.

The Oregon Zoo was founded in 1888, making it the oldest North American zoo west of the Mississippi.[2] It all began with two grizzly bears purchased by Richard Knight.

 

A former seaman turned pharmacist, Knight began collecting animals from his seafaring friends. He kept his collection in the back of his drug store on Third & Morrison streets. When caring for the animals became too large a responsibility he sought to sell them to the city of Portland. Instead of buying the animals, the city offered to give Knight two circus cages and allowed him to place the caged bears on the grounds of City Park (now called Washington Park).

 

Care and feeding of the bears, however, still fell to the Knight family and friends. It wasn't long before Knight addressed the city council again regarding the bears. Just five months later, he offered to donate the young grizzly, along with its cage (it is unclear what happened to the second bear) to the city. Portland City Council accepted his offer on November 7, 1888, and began the Portland Zoo.

 

By 1894 there were over 300 animals in the zoo’s collection. In 1925, the zoo moved to the site of the present Portland Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its current site, designed by Lawrence, Tucker & Wallmann.[7] The zoo was renamed the Portland Zoological Gardens in 1959.[2] At this time, Washington Park and Zoo Railway was constructed to connect the zoo to its former site, and the other attractions in Washington Park.

 

The zoo became popular locally in 1953, when Rosy the Asian elephant was acquired. The zoo became world-famous in 1962 when the Asian elephant "Packy" was born. He was the first elephant born in the western hemisphere in 44 years and is (as of 2010) the tallest Asian elephant in the United States at 10.5 ft (3.2 m) tall. A total of 28 more calves have been born at the Oregon Zoo, including seven sired by Packy (two of which still live with him), making it the most successful zoo elephant breeding program in the world. On August 23, 2008, Rose-Tu, the granddaughter of the zoo's first elephant Rosy, gave birth to a son named Samudra. This makes Samudra the first third generation captive born elephant in North America.[8]

 

In 1971, management was given to Metro, which continues expansion projects, aided by donors, sponsors and volunteers.[2] The zoo was renamed in 1976 as the Washington Park Zoo after a naming contest.[2] The Metro Council changed the zoo's name from the Washington Park Zoo to the Oregon Zoo in April 1998.[3] In September of that year, the zoo became accessible by the region's MAX light rail system, with the opening of a Westside MAX line featuring an underground Washington Park station.[9] In 2003, the zoo began participation in a California condor recovery program started by San Diego Wild Animal Park and Los Angeles Zoo. The program is designed to breed California condors to be released into the wild and save them from extinction.[10]

 

In November 2008 regional voters approved a $125 million bond measure to improve infrastructure, enhance older exhibits and increase access to conservation education and the degree of sustainability.[11] Attendance at the zoo reached a record 1.6 million visitors for their 2008 to 2009 year.[6] The record was due in part to the birth of another baby elephant.[6] A new record was set the following year with 1,612,359 people visiting the zoo.[12]

Hamworthy station was formerly called Hamworthy Junction with Hamworthy station being at the end of this freight line which runs along the side of Platform 2. It looks as if it’s unused now.

Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts, was founded in 1831 as "America's first garden cemetery" or "rural cemetery". With classical monuments set in a rolling landscaped terrain,[2] it marked a distinct break with Colonial-era burying grounds and church-affiliated graveyards.

Here is version 2. It was supposed to be more of a vintage look. but not too sure now.

 

I altered the placement of the text on this 1 also and changed the logo colour.

I had originally planned on using this image for Preshit's article his terrible experience with AppleCare in India. smkn.me/aplsprt

 

Didn't use it because:

1. There's an Indian in there (while the people he dealt with were foreigners—Apple doesn't use Indian call centers anyway)

2. It might have made Preshit look like the bad guy.

Thema 2 : IT wird zur zentralen Bühne (vlnr: Peter Karwowski, Klopotek, Ralf Biesemeier, readbox, Dr. Rüdiger Schmidt, Bosch-Druck)

Trifolium pratense (Red Clover) is a species of clover, native to Europe, western Asia and northwest Africa, but planted and naturalised in many other regions.

 

It is an herbaceous, short lived perennial plant, variable in size, growing to 20–80 cm tall. The leaves are alternate, trifoliate (with three leaflets), each leaflet 15–30 mm long and 8–15 mm broad, green with a characteristic pale crescent in the outer half of the leaf; the petiole is 1–4 cm long, with two basal stipules. The flowers are dark pink with a paler base, 12–15 mm long, produced in a dense inflorescence.

 

It is widely grown as a fodder crop, valued for its nitrogen fixation which increases soil fertility. For these reasons it is used as a green manure crop. Several Cultivar Groups have been selected for agricultural use, mostly derived from var. sativum. It has become naturalised in many temperate areas, including the Americas and Australasia as an escape from cultivation.

 

Red clover restores and balances hormonal function and nourishes the uterus. Red Clover contains isoflavones (estrogen-like compounds) which promote estrogen production and which may enhance fertility in women and boost estrogen levels in women with estrogen deficiencies. In addition, the Red Clover contains calcium and magnesium which can relax the nervous system and improve fertility. Traditionally, Red Clover has been administered to help restore irregular menses and to balance the acid-alkaline level of the vagina to promote conception.[1]

 

The isoflavones (like irilone and pratensein) and phytoestrogens from red clover have been used to treat the symptoms of menopause.[2] It has also been reported that red clover has been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, such as bronchitis, burns, cancers, ulcers, sedation, asthma, and syphilis.[3]

 

It is an ingredient in eight-herb essiac tea.

GenusPodiceps (1)

 

The great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus) is the largest grebe in Europe (2). It is a graceful bird, with its long neck, long bill and slender outline. In summer, the adults of both sexes are adorned with beautiful head-plumes (2), which are reddish-orange in colour with black tips (5); there is also an erectile black crown (2). The sexes are similar in appearance, but great crested grebe juveniles can be distinguished by the possession of blackish stripes on the cheeks (2).

Great crested grebe biology

 

The great crested grebe dives for fish, insects and invertebrate larvae, chasing prey under water by strongly swimming with its feet (6).

 

Pairs begin to form during the middle of winter, and nesting can start in January, providing that conditions are mild (6). The great crested grebe is well known for its elaborate courtship display, in which pairs raise and shake their head plumes, and approach each other with weed in their bills, rising up breast to breast in the water and turning their heads from side to side (5). The nest is either a hidden mound of reeds and other vegetation or else a floating platform anchored to vegetation (5). After May (5), between one and nine (but usually four) eggs are laid (7), which take 27 to 29 days to incubate (7). Both great crested grebe parents are involved in incubation; when they leave the nest they cover the eggs with rotting vegetation to keep them warm (5). After hatching, the stripy chicks are carried around on the backs of their parents, they fledge at around 71 to 79 days of age (8).

Great crested grebe threats

 

The attractive great crested grebe was persecuted in Britain during Victorian times to such an extent that it was reduced to just 42 pairs in 1860 (9), and was on the brink of extinction (10). The breast plumage, known as 'grebe fur', and the head plumes were highly prized in hat trimmings and other clothing (9).

 

nrhp # 72000852- Grecian Shelter, was designated as Croquet Shelter on the original plans.[2] It was also referred to as the Prospect Park Peristyle. The building is situated near the southern edge of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York and is a peristyle with Corinthian columns. Constructed by McKim, Mead and White in 1905, this peristyle was built on the site of the 1860s-era Promenade Drive Shelter along the southwest shore of the Prospect Park Lake.[3] The Prospect Park Peristyle is designed in the Renaissance architectural style. It consists of a raised platform located two steps above ground level; the platform is covered by a rectangular colonnade with 28 Corinthian marble columns, each with square piers. An entablature of terracotta runs atop the structure.[3][4] The building was constructed as a temporary refuge from rain and sun.[2]

 

Grecian Shelter was rehabilitated in 1966 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1][5] The peristyle is also a New York City designated landmark, having been declared as such on December 10, 1968.

 

from Wikipedia

The bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus) is a medium-sized eagle in the family Accipitridae. Its closest relatives are the snake eagles. It is the only member of the genus Terathopius and may be the origin of the "Zimbabwe Bird", national emblem of Zimbabwe.[2] It is endemic to Africa and small parts of Arabia. "Bateleur" is French for "street performer"

The average adult is 55 to 70 cm (22 to 28 in) long with a 186 cm (6 ft 1 in) wingspan. The wing chord averages approximately 51 cm (20 in). Adult weight is typically 2 to 2.6 kg (4 lb 7 oz to 5 lb 12 oz).[4]

The bateleur is a colourful species with a very short tail (ecaudatus is Latin for tailless) which, together with its white underwing coverts, makes it unmistakable in flight. The tail is so small the bird's legs protrude slightly beyond the tail during flight. The bateleur is sexually dimorphic; both adults have black plumage, a chestnut mantle and tail, grey shoulders, tawny wing coverts, and red facial skin, bill and legs. The female additionally has tawny secondary wing feathers. Less commonly, the mantle may be white.[5] Immature birds are brown with white dappling and have greenish facial skin. It takes them seven or eight years to reach full maturity

A Águia-nailarina (Terathopius ecaudatus) é uma águia de tamanho médio da família Accipitridae. Seus parentes mais próximos são as águias de cobra. É o único membro do gênero Terathopius e pode ser da origem da "Zimbábue Bird", emblema nacional do Zimbábue. É endêmico na África e em pequenas partes da Arábia. "Bateleur" é francês para "artista de rua"

 

O adulto médio tem 55 a 70 cm (22 a 28 polegadas) de comprimento e uma envergadura de 186 cm (6 pés 1 in). O acorde de asa mede aproximadamente 51 cm (20 pol). O peso adulto é tipicamente de 2 a 2,6 kg (4 lb 7 oz a 5 lb 12 oz).

 

O bateleur é uma espécie colorida com uma cauda muito curta (o ecaudatus é latim para o rabo sem cauda) que, juntamente com os seus mantos de asa branca, o torna inconfundível em voo. A cauda é tão pequena que as pernas da ave se projetam ligeiramente para além da cauda durante o vôo. O bateleur é sexualmente dimórfico; ambos os adultos têm plumagem negra, um manto castanho e cauda, ombros acinzentados, coberturas de asas amareladas e pele vermelha facial, bico e pernas. A fêmea também tem penas de asa secundárias tawny. Menos comumente, o manto pode ser branco. As aves jovens são marrons com dappling branco e têm pele facial esverdeada. Leva sete ou oito anos para atingir a maturidade plena

Day 1 - We were quite lucky with the weather until about 2.30pm when the heavens opened and most people (including me) headed back to their car.

 

Day 2 - It was a shame the show was cancelled on the second day due to strong gale-force winds and heavy rain.
