His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.

The course that the Saturn V rockets of the Apollo program took from Earth to the Moon. This map resembles the one found at mission control in Houston.
While I was in Geneva for the motorshow, I was following along closely on Instagram to see what cars were out and about in Geneva. Luckily I came across a place called 'Carugati Automobiles' and decided I should head there ASAP and I'm so glad I did as I managed to catch the insane Apollo IE just before it left. Insane day wrapped up with a few Pagani's and various other insane cars!

Apollo 13 Command Module Odyssey on display at the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchison, KS
Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar-landing mission, part of Project Apollo under the NASA in the United States. It launched on April 11, 1970. Two days after the launch, the Apollo spacecraft was crippled by an explosion, causing the Service Module portion of the Apollo Command/Service Module to lose its oxygen and electrical power. The crew used the Lunar Module as a ?lifeboat? in space. The command module systems remained functional, but were deactivated to preserve its capability to reenter Earth?s atmosphere upon return to the earth. The crew endured difficult conditions due to severe constraints on power, cabin heat, and potable water, but successfully returned to Earth.
Counter Culture Coffee Espresso Apollo 6.3
Apollo 6.3 is 80% Ethiopia Shilicho and 20% Peru La Frontera. As the coffee cools you get the delightful floral aromatics I think from the La Frontera. But the Ethiopian coffee is really in the flavor. As I brew in a chemex it does bring out the Ethiopian beans and mutes the chocolate tones of the La Frontera. The acidity in my mouth definitely feels lemon like with a creamy texture, probably due to the darker roast used.
Many times I like to try coffees that are made to be brewed as espresso in my chemex. It offers a "stripped down" approach that might reveal what would otherwise be overwhelmed in the espresso shot. To put it as an analogy, think of watching an action movie in slow motion like in the Matrix.

The worship of Apollo Smintheus (or Apollo Sminthius) extended only to Asia Minor and not the Greek mainland. Alexandria in Troas was the center of this cult. This is one of the strongest arguments for the thesis that the origin of the Apollo cult was Asia minor.
After the fall of Troy the Greeks start to spread to the East. They settled on the Aegean islands and the western coast of Asia Minor. The worship of Apollo in this region had a curious origin. When the old Teukri under their king Teucer came from Crete to the coast of Asia Minor, the oracle told them to stay there where they could see their enemies creeping out of the ground. When they came to Hamaxitos, a city in this region, the mice creeping out of the ground gnawed on their shields during the night. So they saw the oracle of the god fulfilled, settled down and erected a statue of Apollo with a mouse laying at his feet, which in the Aeolian dialect was called Smintha. (Ovid Met. II, 5685)
There are known two different versions of Apollo Smintheus depictions:
1. A cult statue where he stands facing front holding a mouse in his hand. This version is characteristic of Alexandria in Troas. The fact that the statue is held by the Genius of the city may be an allusion that the temple of Apollo got governmental benefits. (Pat Lawrence)
2. A cult statue where Apollo is standing left and has a mouse under his foot. In Chryse there was a statue made by Scopas, showing exactly this position. This statue is depicted on coins.
The meaning of the epithet 'Smintheus' is interpreted different ways:
1. The origin of the name is the city of Sminthe in Troas, where Apollo was worshippedin pre-Hellenic times. So Apollo Smintheus = Apollo from Sminthe.
2. In the Aeolian dialect 'smintha' means 'mouse'. So Apollo Smintheus = the mice-god. The mouse in ancient times was a symbol of prophetic power because it was thought mice were inspired by the exhaling coming out of the ground.
3. Apollo the mice-killer. The Greek already had recognized the mice as vermin and worshipped Apollo as protector against mice.
The second explanation seems the most probable. It is unlikely the Greeks might have identified mice as carriers of plagues because they would have been incorrect. It is the rat flea that carries plague. The mouse is innocent.
The first mention of Apollo Smintheusis found in Homer's Ilias I, 39. The beginning of the Ilias describes how Apollo strikes the Greeks with a plague because Agamemnon has raped Chrysis, the daughter of Apollo's priest Chryses, and so has humiliated his priest.
The old man, afraid, obeyed his words, walked off in silence,
along the shore by the tumbling, crashing surf.
Some distance off, he prayed to Lord Apollo,
Leto's fair-haired child:
"God with the silver bow,
protector of Chryse, sacred Cilla, 40
mighty lord of Tenedos, Sminthean Apollo,
hear my prayer: If I've ever pleased you
with a holy shrine, or burned bones for you— [40]
bulls and goats well wrapped in fat—
grant me my prayer. Force the Danaans
to pay full price for my tears with your arrows."
So Chryses prayed. Phoebus Apollo heard him.
He came down from Olympus top enraged,
carrying on his shoulders bow and covered quiver,
his arrows rattling in anger against his arm. 50
So the god swooped down, descending like the night.
He sat some distance from the ships, shot off an arrow—
the silver bow reverberating ominously.
First, the god massacred mules and swift dogs, [50]
then loosed sharp arrows in among the troops themselves.
Thick fires burned the corpses ceaselessly.

The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.

After a two-year break following touring their critically middling seventh studio album, 2011’s If Not Now, When?, Los Angeles-based post-grunge rockers Incubus are back with new music in the form of E.P. Trust Fall (Side A), with Side B due out later this year.
Always a band to shift with the times and experiment rather than remain within their comfort zone, Incubus have always been a collective of rock, funk and punk with a DJ element thrown in, making them stand out amongst their peers and likely what has carried them through the high and lows of their 24-year career to date.
Following the release of Trust Fall (Side A) in March 2015, Incubus are back on the live circuit with a single stop at West London’s Hammersmith Apollo venue, following a string of European festival appearances, for “An Evening With Incubus”, their first show in almost three years.
Following a five minute digital countdown clock displayed on the huge screen that provided the stage it’s backdrop, bassist Ben Kenny, drummer José Pasillas, DJ Chris Kilmore and guitarist Mike Einziger strolled onto the stage and took up their positions as the intro to Morning View track Wish You Were Here began to make itself known. Frontman Brandon Boyd then made his entrance to huge cheers from the 5,000-strong sold-out crowd. And by the time the chorus came around, the crowd had been whipped into frenzy. Next track Light Grenades hit Anna Molly was quickly followed by If Not Now, When? single Adolescents, which served to calm down proceedings a little.
Frontman Brandon Boyd owned his audience from the moment he stepped into the bright light setup of the show and exuded all the energy expected from a heavyweight rock show, the obligatory shirt removal coming part way through the set. While rarely addressing the crowd, aside from to say thank you, he bounded about the stage, often crouching down on his monitors or leaping off them.
But it was bassist Ben Kenney who had the crowd chanting out his name early on in the set which led the frontman to take a moment out to acknowledge the audience’s love for his bandmate and bow to him.
New song Absolution Calling from the Trust Fall E.P. had the crowd singing along before moshing at the front took on a new lease of life with S.C.I.E.N.C.E. favourite Vitamin.
A slowed-down, stripped-back first verse of Make Yourself hit Pardon Me had the 39-year-old frontman grinning as the crowd sang back every word and prematurely sang him back the chorus before the band launched into the song proper.
A Crow Left of the Murder song Agoraphobia was introduced by Boyd as a song not played live for a while and led into Trust Fall track Dance Like You’re Dumb, which sounded as though it could easily have come from pre-major label record S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
A Crow Left of the Murder opener Megalomaniac closed the main set, the band segueing into Nirvana’s Come As You Are during a brief interlude.
Probably their biggest commercial hit, Make Yourself song Drive, opened up a three-song encore. It had to be played but was never going to be this band’s set list tent pole. In fact, with such an extensive back catalogue of roof-shattering rock anthems and delicately crafted, honey-slick mellower picks, there was never a dull moment or a single standout peak in the rollercoaster ride, two-hour set.
After a career as extensive as Incubus have had, it’s easy to see how the factory of music-making can get stuck along the way, but tonight has proven that not only has the factory received a well-deserved oil, with Incubus back making standout new music, but that the machine is back at full-throttle with clever and articulate song crafting and instrumentation at the helm.
Incubus’ live show too doesn’t falter in the slightest, seem exhausted or rely on a single standout hit from the past. This writer and photographer certainly left the West London venue of tonight’s performance with very sore through from singing (yelling?) along with pretty much every song from their epic, career-spanning set.

Australia Trip Day 002 - Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell to Apollo Bay to Melbourne
Wake up and check out from Port Campbell and not going to 12 Apostles again because we don't think the scene will be better than yesterday sunset. Hence, we oNly go to The Arch and London Bridge as my co worker telling me along Great Ocean Road have very nice Fish and Chips.
Then I look for Peter for the recommendation and Chris' Restaurant is our selection and have to wait until 6pm only serve for dinner. while waiting for the dinner, we found this place is very nice to have a look for the Apollo Bay as Chris' Restaurant also have the same scenery to see from the restaurant.
Marriner's Lookout is name of this place.

The Apollo Theater was originally a whites only venue under another name. It was renamed to the Apollo when Afro-Americans were admitted in 1934. It has a very long-reaching influence on American music. Among musicians who won Amateur Night competitions are Ella Fitzgerald and Jimi Hendrix.
At the Apollo, it was originally called "Audition Night", but later became "Amateur Night in Harlem", held every Monday evening and broadcast on the radio over WMCA and eleven affiliate stations.
One unique feature of the Apollo during Amateur Nights was "the executioner", a man with a broom who would sweep performers off the stage if the highly vocal and opinionated audiences began to call for their removal. Stagehand Norman Miller, known as "Porto Rico" (later played by Bob Collins) might also chase the poor performer offstage with a cap pistol, accompanied by the sound of a siren. (Wikipedia)
