The eastern great egret (Ardea alba modesta), a white heron in the genus Ardea, is usually considered a subspecies of the great egret (A. alba). In New Zealand it is known as the white heron or by its Māori name kōtuku. Measuring 83–103 cm in length and weighing 0.7–1.2 kg, the eastern great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Its bill is black in the breeding season and yellow at other times, and its long legs are red or black. The colours of the bare parts of the face change to green during the breeding season. The breeding plumage is also marked by long neck plumes and a green facial area. The eastern great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets and herons in Asia and Australia by its very long neck, one and a half times as long as its own body. The eastern great egret has a wide distribution throughout Asia and Oceania. The diet includes vertebrates such as fish, frogs, small reptiles, small birds and rodents, and invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, and molluscs. The eastern great egret hunts by wading or standing still in shallow water and "spearing" prey with its bill. 22668

LA NEOMUDEJAR LNM Centro de artes de vanguardia y residencia artística internacional. Calle Antonio de Nebrija s/n. Estación de Atocha, Madrid.
La Neomudejar tiene como prioridad favorecer, impulsar y dar visibilidad al creador emergente. La creación por encima de los discursos y las teorías imperantes en los circuitos actuales del arte. El centro de artes de vanguardia entronca con la base de las teorías naturales de contraposición al arte establecido. Esta arquitectura creativa parte de la identificación de las carencias del colectivo artístico y opta por una respuesta basada en la ejecución por encima del discurso academicista imperante. El objetivo es asentar un espacio internacional de referencia, para creadores multidisciplinares con carácter de continuidad para los nuevos códigos y lenguajes que profundicen en la experimentación. Videoarte, instalaciones, performes, street art, parkour, robótica, translación de cuerpos, etc… son algunas de las disciplinas que pretende acompañar. Especial atención se da a formatos tecnológicos de nueva generación así como a los desechados, que merecen una revisión al amparo de un reciclado consciente y creativo en pugna con la inmediatez y caducidad de las sociedades de consumo actual.
Un espacio con vocación de Resistencia Artística Internacional. Para ello se hizo un trabajo de investigación a fin de encontrar el inmueble adecuado a la singularidad de la propia propuesta. Tras más de un año de trabajo y gracias a la colaboración de Adif, que apoya el proyecto de forma continuada dentro de su programa de Responsabilidad Social y Sostenibilidad, se firma un contrato de alquiler en condiciones especiales para el desarrollo y recuperación del espacio como el Centro de Artes de Vanguardia y Residencia Artística Internacional. La recuperación del espacio adquiere una dimensión diferente al tomar la arquitectura y la decadencia del edificio como punto de inflexión para reflexionar sobre los procesos de creación y rehabilitación. Poner en valor estos conceptos es parte y todo del concepto de “La Neomudejar”. El marcado carácter como espacio de trabajo viene derivado de uso original ya que albergó durante décadas los talleres de formación de Renfe. Los lucernarios, la cubierta en diente de sierra, los amplios espacios, las antiguas calderas, la fragua, el mobiliario de carpintería, etc… terminan por reforzar este concepto.
La Neomudejar pertenecía a la antigua estación de Atocha y la vía del tren llegaba a la misma puerta desde donde se surtía directamente desde los vagones de mercancías. Por ello podemos relacionar históricamente al edificio con la vanguardia ya que en el momento de su construcción –Finales del S XIX, comienzos del XX-, las principales estaciones de ferrocarril eran la puerta de las ciudades al mundo por donde entraban todas las innovaciones tecnológicas y por supuesto, artísticas. La situación geográfica dentro de la ciudad de Madrid también es un punto relevante para conceptualizar de nuevo este antiguo edificio ya que se encuentra en las inmediaciones del llamado eje Prado-Recoletos que engloba la principal oferta cultural de la ciudad abarcando el Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Artes Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Caixa-Forum Madrid y La Casa Encendida.
El estilo arquitectónico del edificio, encuadrable en el neomudejar, del que toma nombre la institución, provee al centro de una señas de identidad propias. Un estilo que se enmarca dentro de las corrientes medievalistas europeas de finales del XIX que reivindican estilos propiamente nacionales, en este caso un estilo puramente español, el mudéjar, que en su reinventado desarrollo decimonónico se ve unido a las construcciones industriales, ferroviarias, religiosas y especialmente a las taurinas, encontrándose cantidad de ejemplos de construcciones neomudéjares en todo el país, y muy singularmente en la ciudad de Madrid.
Art House Madrid es la promotora del Centro de Artes de Vanguardia y Residencia Artística Internacional de Madrid y cuenta con el apoyo y patrocinio de Adif.

Walking down the inclines from the Moelwyn Slate Quarry which were used to carry slate down to the Ffestiniog Railway in the valley below. In the Moelwyn Mountains close to Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales.
Between 1826 and 1828 the Rothschild's Royal Cambrian Company attempted to locate commercially viable slate deposits on the eastern slopes of Moelwyn Bach. In 1841 Humprhey Jones of Ruthin opened a quarry here, though it was only worked intermittently.
In 1861, the Great Moelwyn Slate Company Ltd. was founded and purchased the quarry, re-opening it in 1865. A series of seven inclines were installed in 1866 to connect the quarry with the Ffestiniog Railway more than 1100ft below.
The quarry was never a significant success. It was closed by 1869, re-opened in 1873 as the Union Slate Company Ltd., closed again in 1875, re-opened in 1891 as the Moelwyn Slate Company and operated until 1897.
The quarry and the inclines remain largely intact, though Llyn Stwlan the upper reservoir in the Ffestiniog Power Station pumped-storage hydroelectricity scheme sits just below the quarry and has obliterated the upper incline and mill. The Ffestiniog Railway's deviation around Llyn Ystradau has also destroyed the lower section of the final incline.

The P-47 Thunderbolt, which would become one of the most successful and widely produced fighters in history, began as the brainchild of two Russian aircraft designers who fled the Soviet Union—Alexander de Seversky and Alexander Kartveli. Kartveli had begun designing fighters for Seversky, including the P-35, and staying on with Seversky Aircraft after it was renamed Republic Aviation. Kartveli had designed the radial-engined P-43 Lancer and P-44 Rocket, and was working on the inline-engined XP-47 when the US Army Air Force cancelled all three programs in 1940, citing that they were inferior to the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.
Kartveli then proposed a new design based on the P-43/44, but much larger, with a turbocharged R-2800 Double Wasp engine, one of the most powerful radials available at the time. The size of the turbocharger and the engine meant that the fuselage had to be much larger as well; as the USAAF wanted an eight-gun fighter along the lines of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, the new design was equipped with elliptical wings containing eight .50 caliber machine guns. The resulting design, designated XP-47B Thunderbolt, was huge: it was 65 percent heavier than the P-43 and nearly twice the weight of the Spitfire. Even Kartveli himself referred to it as a “dinosaur.” When pilots saw it, they thought that its size and shape (and likely, its flying characteristics) resembled that of a milk jug, forever earning the Thunderbolt its moniker of “Jug.” Though the first XP-47B prototype crashed soon after its first flight in May 1941, its speed and performance were impressive.
Minor problems with the P-47B production version led to the P-47C, the first combat-ready version of the Thunderbolt, which arrived in England in January 1943. Assigned to the 4th Fighter Group, whose pilots were used to flying Spitfires, initially the Thunderbolt seemed a failure. It could not turn with either the Bf 109 or the new Focke-Wulf 190, and its climbing ability left much to be desired. Pilots hated the Thunderbolt’s size, its lack of performance as compared with the Spitfire, and its low ground clearance, though they did appreciate the comfortable and roomy cockpit, and especially the armor around it.
The indifferent performance of the P-47C and high accident rate led Republic to refine the design in the definitive P-47D variant, which introduced better cooling for the engine and, most importantly, paddle-bladed propeller blades. Now the Thunderbolt began to prove Kartveli’s faith in the fighter. The 56th Fighter Group, led by Hubert Zemke, had been trained from the start in the P-47 and benefited from earlier experience. Zemke, assisted by future aces Francis Gabreski and Robert Johnson, developed ambush tactics that emphasized the Thunderbolt’s advantage in weight; the P-47D’s improved engine and propeller gave it an edge over the Luftwaffe over 15,000 feet that the Germans were not able to equal until the introduction of the Messerschmitt 262 jet in 1944. This was a huge advantage for USAAF pilots, as the majority of air combat over Germany took place at altitudes of 20,000 feet. While the P-51 Mustang was more maneuverable, longer-ranged, and better in the vertical, it was Gabreski and Johnson, in their P-47s, who became the top American aces in Europe. In response to pilots complaining about the lack of rear vision in the “razorback” P-47D, Republic introduced the “bubbletop” version, which cut down the rear fuselage and added a P-51 style bubble canopy, giving the Thunderbolt pilot superb visibility.
What endeared the Thunderbolt to its pilots, however, was its legendary toughness. Since it was far more survivable than the inline-engined P-38 and P-51, much of the European Theater’s P-47s were shifted away from bomber escort and to 9th Air Force’s ground-attack force. Armed with rockets, bombs, and their eight machine guns, Thunderbolts proved to be devastating in this role, attacking anything that moved in Western Europe: by war’s end, ground attack P-47s had destroyed over 6000 tanks; it was especially deadly to trains, accounting for 9000 locomotives. 3752 German fighters became victims of P-47 pilots in the air. P-47Ds also served in the Pacific theater, though in fewer numbers compared to the P-38; nonetheless, they also turned in a stellar combat record, and the third highest ranking ace in the Pacific, Neel Kearby, was a Thunderbolt pilot. Allied air forces also flew P-47s, including the RAF (mainly in the Pacific), and expeditionary units of the Brazilian and Mexican Air Forces.
After war’s end, though more advanced “Pacific” versions of the Thunderbolt had been introduced in the P-47M/N, it was rapidly retired from service in favor of jets (namely the F-84 Thunderjet) and the P-51. A few lingered on until 1953 in Air National Guard service, when it was retired. France used a few P-47s during the Algerian War of Independence in the mid-1950s, while it persisted in South American air forces into the early 1970s. In 1993, Croatia seriously considered returning a museum-piece P-47 to active service during the Croat-Serbian War. 15,686 P-47s were produced, making it second only to the P-51 in US service; today, about 47 survive.
A "razorback" P-47D, 42-23278 was delivered to the USAAF in 1943 and served overseas. Like most P-47s, it was declared surplus after the war and was bought by the Hancock College of Aeronautics in California as an instructional airframe. It went through several owners until it was bought back by Republic Aircraft in 1961. Republic restored it and used it as a static display for three years before the company donated it to the National Museum of the USAF at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, in 1964. It went on display in 1972, wearing the call letters HV-P, a P-47 of the famous 8th Fighter Group ("Zemke's Wolfpack") based at RAF Halesworth, UK.
In 2004, 42-23278 was repainted as 42-22668, the personal mount of Colonel Neel Kearby of the 348th Fighter Group, based in New Guinea during World War II. For a six-month period in late 1943-early 1944, Kearby was one of the leading aces of the USAAF, in direct competition with Richard Bong. Sadly, Kearby was shot down and killed in a dogfight with a Japanese Ki-43 Hayabusa on 5 March 1944. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
To honor this now little-known ace of the Pacific Theater, 42-23278 is now on display as Kearby's "Fiery Ginger IV," the P-47D he was killed in. It is painted in standard USAAF colors of olive drab over medium gray, with white leading edges and tail for recognition purposes. Though it can't be seen from this angle, the actual rudder of the real "Fiery Ginger" is on display next to 42-23278, recovered from Kearby's crash site in 1947. All of Kearby's P-47s were named "Fiery Ginger," for his wife.

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
The light in my grandparents house was so beautiful today in my mother's old bedroom. We spent the day there with my family and my cousins for our second Christmas celebration. It was meant to be celebrated the day after Christmas, but my Dad caught a cold causing a change of plans. I rather liked the break between celebrations.
We went out to eat and my cousin and I shared vanilla ice cream for desert. I got a few scarves, some lovely owl earrings, and a beautiful necklace from my grandparents and cousins. My brother got some neat lights that we used in some light photography after the sun set. It was really super warm out - even though it's still the dead of winter. The 50 degrees was nice, but I wish we had snow like last year.

Col. Neel E. Kearby, a Medal of Honor recipient, developed aggressive tactics that exploited the strengths of the P-47 Thunderbolt. With 22 victories, he became the highest-scoring Thunderbolt pilot in the Pacific Theater. Moreover, Kearby's tactics as commander of the first P-47 unit in the Pacific Theater led to considerable success for his 348th Fighter Group.
Before it became a proven weapon, many considered the heavy Thunderbolt unsuitable for use against nimble Japanese aircraft. Since the P-47 could not maneuver with the enemy at low altitude, Kearby would lead his group into hostile territory at high altitude where the Thunderbolt's turbosupercharged engine gave it an advantage. Upon sighting the enemy below, Kearby and his pilots made high-speed attacks exploiting the P-47s remarkable diving ability. The energy built up in the dive allowed them to quickly climb back up to altitude for another diving pass. Japanese pilots came to fear attacks from the 348th Fighter Group because they came with little warning, and the Thunderbolt's eight .50-cal. machine guns literally blew their lightly built aircraft out of the sky.
In November 1943, with 12 victories to his credit, Kearby was transferred to the headquarters of the 5th Air Force Fighter Command. Despite his assignment to administrative duties, Kearby still wanted to be in combat. He flew missions whenever he could, and his victory tally continued to rise.
A mission near Wewak on March 5, 1944, was Kearby's last. While attacking a Japanese formation, a Ki-43 "Oscar" fighter pilot momentarily gained position on him. Hit by heavy machine gun fire, his Thunderbolt named Fiery Ginger IV crashed, and Kearby was killed.
I believe the plane in the photo is "Fiery Ginger IV", a P-47D-4-RA Thunderbolt (s/n 42-22668).
Col. Kearby's Medal of Honor citation:
Place and date: Near Wewak, New Guinea, 11 October 1943. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy, Col. Kearby volunteered to lead a flight of 4 fighters to reconnoiter the strongly defended enemy base at Wewak. Having observed enemy installations and reinforcements at 4 airfields, and secured important tactical information, he saw an enemy fighter below him, made a diving attack and shot it down in flames. The small formation then sighted approximately 12 enemy bombers accompanied by 36 fighters. Although his mission had been completed, his fuel was running low, and the numerical odds were 12 to 1, he gave the signal to attack. Diving into the midst of the enemy airplanes he shot down 3 in quick succession. Observing 1 of his comrades with 2 enemy fighters in pursuit, he destroyed both enemy aircraft. The enemy broke off in large numbers to make a multiple attack on his airplane but despite his peril he made one more pass before seeking cloud protection. Coming into the clear, he called his flight together and led them to a friendly base. Col. Kearby brought down 6 enemy aircraft in this action, undertaken with superb daring after his mission was completed.
