Pavlov
Dans sa célèbre expérience, Pavlov sonnait une cloche chaque fois qu’il servait de la nourriture à un chien. Puis un jour, Pavlov sonna la cloche mais ne servit aucune nourriture au chien : celui-ci saliva quand même.
... only the macro-lens can see those little scratches on the legs. One of my first toys ever. Even before Barbie!

Night after night... floating in warm waves of expectation. He always ends up here... with me

I'd like to say that I vaulted over the barriers and crept down the wide street from shadow to shadow, getting closer to the stadium. But nope. Just a lens change. I'd also have liked to get up in the stands, but it's China, not the relatively-quiet South of England. There's no way I'd go anywhere near trouble.

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.

‘Mint’ in color, that is! It wasn’t in bad condition for 56 years of age when the photo was taken. I believe it is a 1960 model. Its period styling has gained a certain coolness over the years, something it probably didn’t readily enjoy for the first half of its life!
The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.
This photo is a tribute to those people who volunteer their time to restore and maintain these old steam locomotives in working condition. In this photo, two men are performing minor maintenance tasks while waiting the two hours or more that it takes to fire this engine up. This engine runs a tourist loop at New Hope Pa. and was out of service in 2014. Hopefully it will be back this year. Parts have to be hand made and there are not many people that know how to repair or operate them anymore.
Astana - Capital City of Kazakhstan
The city was renamed into Nursultan in honor of the former President Nursultan Nasarbajew.
The condition of this star exhibit is outstanding. To think these were almost daily visitors to LHR when I started spotting there in 1966 !
This Romanesque portal was added in the 12th century to the church dating from the end of the 11th century.
During the wars of religion in the 16th century, it was dismantled by Catholics who feared its destruction. Its entrance is walled and a small off-center door, easier to defend, is open. The eardrum plates are placed 10 m high, protected from possible attacks.
In 1923, during the restoration of the church, the architect Louis-Albert Mayeux planned to integrate them into a restitution of the missing portal that he wanted to create and for which he had drawn the plan. But during the work a good surprise awaits him. Behind a 16th century facing, he discovers the real 12th century portal, in poor condition but almost complete! The architect therefore resumes his project on the basis of the original portal.
The limestone tympanum contrasts sharply with the red sandstone facade. Its half-relief sculptures represent the Ascension, the elevation of Christ to heaven after the Resurrection. In the center of the upper register Christ is carried to heaven by two angels, surrounded by two other crouching angels. In the lower register, the Virgin surrounded by eleven apostles watches the scene. The treatment of the representation is strongly inspired by the tympanum of Cahors Cathedral.
The two trefoil arches with crossettes hemmed with pearls which support the tympanum are supported by 4 capitals with beaded palmettes. Only the one on the right, topped by a bear handler holding his animal by a rope, is original. The other three are copies of the first, made for the 1984 restoration.
About thirty kilometers away, in Saint-Chamant, there is a portal from the same period very similar to that of Collonges.

Supermarine Spitfire Mark. I QV- N3200 (G-CFGJ) carries out a display at Old Warden during the Season Premier and 100 Years of the RAF Airshow.
N3200 was shot down over occupied France on 26th May 1940, during Operation Dynamo and the rescue of British Forces from Dunkirk, crash landing on Sangatte beach.
The aircraft was recovered in 1986, after being submerged for 45 years, after strong currents finally revealed it.
The Spitfire was restored to flying condition and returned to the air in 2014, before it was donated to the Imperial War Museum in 2015.
V7497 seen on the flightline at Duxford during the Battle of Britain airshow 2018. V7497 is a genuine Battle of Britain verteran and was shot down on 28th September 1940 while being flown by Pilot Officer Everett Bryan Rogers of 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron based at RAF Kenley. P/O Rogers escaped the aircraft and parachuted to safety. At the time this photo was taken V7497 was the latest Hurricane to be restored to an airworthy condition and wears 501 Squadron markings, SD-X.
Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.
