A vermicomposting bucket is mixed with food waste and worms. Several different species of worms such as Canadian nightcrawlers, red wigglers or earthworms are excellent at decomposing organic waste products and turn those throwaway food scraps, paper or yard waste into compost as beneficial soil amendments. Compost is the key to organic farming and researchers at MU's Bradford Research Center in Columbia are looking at ways to make this style of food production more efficient and affordable.

Astéracées (ex-Composées) à feuilles épineuses, les Carlines sont généralement assimilées à des Chardons (leur nom d'origine italienne vient d'ailleurs probablement du latin carduus : chardon). Elles s'en distinguent pourtant par la couronne d'un blanc jaunâtre brillant que forment pendant le jour et par temps sec les folioles ou bractées des capitules, étalées comme des rayons autour du large disque formé par les corolles.
La nuit et par temps humide, ces bractées se redressent et se rapprochent en forme de toit conique protégeant comme d'une tente les fleurs du capitule. Cette propriété fait qu'on emploie ces derniers comme hygromètres. Autres noms français propres à ce genre : Artichaut sauvage (comme l'Onoporde), Baromètre, Caméléon blanc, Chardon doré, Chardonnette, Chardousse, Loque.
Involucre hémisphérique à bractées externes coriaces et acuminées (terminées en épine grêle), lancéolées (les internes plus longues), jaune paille ou blanchâtre. Réceptacle plan, alvéolé et hérissé de paillettes bordant les alvéoles, soudées à leur base et laciniées au sommet. Akènes cylindriques velus-soyeux. Aigrettes à poils blancs plumeux sur un seul rang égalant l'akène (cf. H des Abbayes et P Fournier).
Mosaic of four paintings composing a mural dedicated to Joan of Arc in the Panthéon of Paris. The author is Jules-Eugène Lenepveu. It's impossible to back more than a couple of meters away from the wall of the mural, so the pictures where distorted by perspective. I tried to correct it as much as I could. In the Panthéon each painting is separated by a column. There's some bad shadows in the pictures, but that's due to the light inside the Panthéon.
The paintings are described as such, from Right to Left:
Jeanne d'Arc part de Vaucouleurs 1429. Son oncle et un autre paysan se cotisèrent pour lui donner un cheval. Baudricourt lui donna une épée et lui dit «Va, et advienne que pourra!»
Les populations entières se jetaient à genouz autour d'elle. Ceux qui n'étaient pas assez heureux pour en approcher et pour baiser ses mains et ses vêtements baisaient la terre des pas de son cheval. 1429
Jeanne est entourrée et prise à Compiègne. Tous ses ennemis se ruaient à la fois contre elle. Un arche la tira violamment par sa huque de drap d'or et la fit tomber de cheval. 1430
Un soldat anglais ayant jeté un fagot sur le bucher de Jeanne voit au moment de sa mort une colombe sortir de sa bouche et s'envoler vers le ciel. D'autres avaient vu dans les flammes le mot qu'elle répétait: Jésus!
The texts are rather romanced. hehe.
If anyone knows if the symbol in the border (aside from the lys) means, I'd be glad to find out!

Vertically composed, this image shows the full moon rising over the mountains as seen from near the summit of Mt. Pierce, one of the peaks that makes up the Presidential Range in New Hampshrie's White Mountain National Forest. In the foreground, a frozen puddle atop a large, green lichen covered, granite boulder. Snow capped Mt. Washington looms in the distance.
Composed largely of rock formations and covering an estimated area of 0.12 km², these islands are an important sanctuary for marine fauna like the guanay guano bird, the blue-footed booby and the tendril. Other notable species include Humboldt penguins and two varieties of seals (fur seals and sea lions), amongst other mammals.

A little something different I played with ... I love the detail in this corinthian capitol. I took the photo below and mirrored it, desaturated the color and added a layer with the grid.
Depew Memorial Fountain is a freestanding fountain completed in 1919 and located in University Park in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana within the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza.
The fountain is composed of multiple bronze figures arranged on a five-tier Stony Creek pink granite base with three basins. The bronze sculptures depict fish, eight children dancing, and a woman on the topmost tier dancing and playing cymbals.
The Depew Memorial Fountain was commissioned in memory of Dr. Richard J. Depew by his wife, Emma Ely, following Dr. Depew’s death in 1887. When Mrs. Depew died in 1913, she had bequeathed $50,000 from her estate to the city of Indianapolis for the erection of a fountain in memory of her husband “in some park or public place where all classes of people may enjoy it.”
The original design was created by Karl Bitter, who was killed in a traffic accident in 1915 before the work could be done. Following Bitter’s overall design, Alexander Stirling Calder created the bronze figures and the fountain.
“The ideal Mr. Calder has sought to give expression to was one of joyous, vigorous, innocent youth seeking and outlet for energy and the natural pursuit of pleasure, hence the dance.”
Alexander Stirling Calder, son of a Scottish sculptor, was the father of Alexander Calder, the modernist sculptor in the twentieth century.
Dr. Richard J. Depew was a well-known physician in the Indianapolis area. He was born in 1815 and practiced medicine in St. Omer, and later in St. Paul, Decatur County ,for years. He made professional trips on horseback and was a bachelor until late in life. He married Emma Ely Depew and moved to Indianapolis where he later died.
University Park is a one block square park in downtown Indianapolis. It was originally designated as property for a state university in 1827. However, this idea was never executed.
About twenty-five years later, campus buildings were constructed for the city’s first high school.
After the school was vacated in 1860, the site was used to prepare Union troops for a confrontation with the Morgan’s Raiders during the Civil War.
The southeast corner of the park once contained a lumberyard, while the north side contained a cow pasture and a children’s playground. J.B. Perrine leased the east side in 1850 for an exhibition ground. Band concerts, balloon ascensions, and fireworks were held here.
“The finest exhibition of fireworks ever given in the city was made there on the 4th of July, 1860.”
After the Civil War was over, the people of Indianapolis raised money to transform the land into a park.
George Edward Kessler redesigned University Park in 1914 for a park and boulevard system. His design called for a central circle with diagonal concrete walkways and heavy plantings at the corners and intersections of the park. Kessler was a German American pioneer city planner and landscape architect. Over the course of his career, he completed over 200 projects and prepared plans for 26 communities, 26 park and boulevard systems, 49 parks, 46 estates and residents, and 26 schools.
Henry Bacon designed the plaza for the Depew Fountain. Bacon was an American Beaux-Arts architect best remembered for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

A composed shot of Western and DMU cabs at Plymouth Laira. The nearest Western is 1063 'Western Monitor', with 1037 'Western Empress' in the background. There were five withdrawn Westerns on my visit to Laira - the others being 1034, 1043 and 1049.
As withdrawals progressed, a number of Westerns ended up in the scrap line at Plymouth Laira, before making their final journey to Swindon Works for cutting.

Composing a Ange Kagame biography for a person is both a great gesture and a fantastic gift. In case the biography composing project is for a family member or guest, and you do not believe you do not believe you have the needed writing experience, bear in mind that there are bio writing services around to aid you out. As a biography is an account of one more person's life, in a way it is less complicated to write, because you being the outsider could write Kagame's Daughters impartially without having the psychological attachment.visit our www.hope-mag.com/news.php?option=lnews&ca=1&a=1157 site for more information on Ange Kagame photos
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system, composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi). The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. CNN has labelled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust has named it a state icon of Queensland. A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as overfishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures to the reef and its ecosystem include water quality from runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish [Wikipedia.org]

I've struggled for some time to create a place to compose music in my tiny home; limited space and budget have made it a challenge. I think the result is quite nice, however. The key thought was to prioritize activities and do the simplest possible thing to achieve activity level. Here were my top musical priorities:
1. Just make music. This meant connecting speakers (Yamaha) to the keyboard (Roland SD-700SX). 2 1/4" patch cables, 3 ordinary power cables, and a small plug multiplier. Easy.
2. Record MIDI. This meant adding a computer to the mix (Thinkpad X41 Tablet P-M 1.5GHz 1.5G RAM named "Quirky") , installing software (Ableton Live 7), and attaching the keyboard to the computer (via USB). Worked great.. However once I plugged the laptop into wall power the speakers got very noisy. This was because of a cheaply constructed third-party power supply - by replacing it with the official Thinkpad power supply the noise disappeared. (This would have been difficult to diagnose if I had put everything together all at once, I think.) One small innovation: flipping the screen around but keeping it at an angle, to serve as a kind of touchscreen music stand; reminds me of the Korg OASYS.
3. Record audio. This took some experimentation to get right. I felt compelled to test the tablet's native sound abilities even though I was pretty sure it wouldn't sound good. The tablet has a "mic in" which, sure enough, testing showed it to be of very poor quality for accepting audio from the keyboard (primarily a strange warble). So I purchased an MBox (M-Audio Fast Track Pro) and attached it to the computer (USB), and connected the keyboard (2 XLR cables). Now it sounds very good. I was glad to see that a modest computer can do well at audio. I thought it would.
4. Playing virtual instruments. Now I was getting frisky - it was straightforward to get this working (just have to setup MIDI correctly and remember to 'arm' recording in Live). However at this stage I decided to "break" the solution to #2 by removing the direct keyboard USB/MIDI and using the MBox for MIDI. Required 2 MIDI cables and eliminated 1 USB cable. The benefit is that the tablet has fewer cables going into it.
5. Applying virtual effects. Again, works well and sounds great. Surprisingly low latency (I can just barely hear it).
6. Monitoring PC audio. Headphones in the MBox work great. Using speakers turned out to be surprisingly complicated. First, I was loath to abandon the simple solution to #1. I realized that if I plugged the speakers into the MBox I wouldn't be able to "just play" without a computer attached, which from experience I know I don't like being tethered to a PC to make music. Luckily the MBox can be powered separately, although it required the purchase of a wall wart. I also needed a couple of extra cables (XLR) - easily fixed (I do wish the MBox had 1/4" inputs as well as XLR inputs, though). One other annoyance: the MBox pops, badly, when it's turned off with speakers still attached. This is not as much of an issue when the MBox is seperately powered, as unplugging the computer no longer causes the MBox to power down. (Essentially it turns out the MBox is serving as a simple line mixer for keyboard and pc audio.)
For a finishing touch, I draped the (semi soft) travel case over and behind the keyboard. This is not only a great place to store a very bulky item, but it also serves to cushion the tablet and protect the keyboard. I also plugged everything into a power strip so the whole shebang can be turned on and off with one switch (which saves power and avoids pops). I sort of miss using the Roland's power switch, though - it's a really nice switch. Very wide and solid and with a pleasant curve to it.
I actually believe there is a market for a simple standalone MIDI sequencer, even if this solution works for me. To have a small hand-held device that I could attach to the keyboard, play into, then take to a computer for editing might be quite nice, especially if you are prone to long solo jamming, like I am.
