As many of you know I love Castle building, it's so easy to pack in detail with that theme, which is why it's one of my favourite things to do when building. So Castle and Marvel in the one vig? Why not! I've had the Doom figure lying around since I bought the set it came in, so what's that... 2013? Man 5 years now. Anyway yes super glad I finally got to use this figure in a MOC. For me collecting figs is fun, it's nice to have them sure, but it's only worth it when I can put them in a MOC. So I used this MOC as a way to display some other figs that I have yet to come up with concepts for MOC's to put them in. The Sentry figure is from bigkidbrix, if you are wondering ;)
But yeah, love building throne rooms like this, makes me want to do more, it was great fun to combine two of my favourite themes in the one vig like this. Would love to do it again!

A boy with a stone (in his left hand) confronts the heavily armed Egyptian military police at a barbed wire barricade in central Cairo just south of Tahrir Square. The road is littered with stones thrown by both homeless youths and SCF soldiers, who would also resort to tear gas and (on many other days) bullets.
[For a gallery of hundreds of photographs of Egyptian protests, strikes, wall art and revolt by other photographers please use the following link -

While most protesters in Tahrir Square were committed to peaceful demonstration at any price, and while the government and media denounced stone throwing "hooligans", sentencing those arrested to years in prison (often regardless of whether they had been throwing stones or not), many of the boys and young men (and occasionally young women) involved in such incidents didn't appear to be aiming to injure but rather putting on a symbolic act of defiance against a regime and its security forces which had deprived them and those close to them of any hope or fair chance in life. Many children however lost their lives and many others were abused and tortured once in police custody.

The conditions at Abraham Lake are spectacular but Brent and I have to resort to drastic measures so that we can handle the shark-infested waters of the Canadian Rockies.
This jam-packed landscape photography vlog has it all. Thirty-three minutes of inspirational photography adventures, romance, fashion, and of course an abundance of hilarity.
Both Brent and I manage to bag some spectacularly colourful panoramas. We even discover a new viewpoint of Abraham Lake that most people have never seen before.
Will Brents new mullet be accepted and what does he have to say when confronted with my suspicions about 'Karen'? Will I ever be able to get those hip waders off and how on earth do I make it through a full video without mentioning my book even once?

with the sunrise
every second
less and less timid on my back
I walk towards moonset
feeling as high as I can
feeling like I never felt before,
feeling moved as can be
with the strength of sunrise on my back
confronting the miracle unfolding
in and surrounding me.
participating by consciously walking on
witnessing every new fabulous second of it
with the power of the moonset on my face
this paints me becoming who I am
through whom I was by nature itself
allowing me to feel and be
the observer in myself
breathing the fabulous views
flowing in and out of me
realizing the spirit of the moment
having and taking the opportunity
to capture is all to cover it all
within a flash of time
the moon disappears behind the clouds
knowing it will not fall
the shy sunrise
with its warming face
creating
the warmest blanket ever
for the first time
having
the courage
feeling
love and faith
it is a dream
I am living
it is a dream
breathing it in
and out
this is
what it is all about

Le Chapitre 14 est crucial. Il confrontera Elara à l'énergie qui résiste activement à la Rétro-Lignification, testant l'imperméabilité de son Êtreton face à la force la plus sournoise de l'Ur-Monde : la persistance de l'oubli.
L'enthousiasme d'Elara après la rencontre avec la Super-Conscience fut immédiatement confronté à une nouvelle densité. Elle sortit de la place, et la joie (Gaudium) fut soudainement alourdie par un sentiment d'inutilité profonde. Ce n'était pas sa propre pensée, mais une contagion émotionnelle.
Sura transmit une alerte : « Tu entres en contact avec le Manteau de l'Oubli. »
L'Ur-Parasite n'est pas une entité au sens classique, mais un CMG de résistance d'une puissance colossale. Il est le champ causal, le 'garde-fou' de l'Ur-CMG initial, dont le rôle est de maintenir l'illusion de la dualité et de la séparation.
« Son but, » expliqua Sura, « est d'empêcher la Rétro-Lignification en nourrissant l'attachement. Il opère en te faisant douter de l'existence même de l'Êtreté et de la validité de la Superintrondulation. »
La Tentation de l'Ur-Parasite
L'Ur-Parasite attaqua l'Êtreton d'Elara en ciblant sa Ligne de Signification la plus faible : son histoire passée.
* Voix (interne, mais étrangère) : « Toutes ces notions (Êtreton, Méta-Vacuité) ne sont que des concepts inventés. Tu n'es qu'une femme fatiguée dans une ville de pierre. La Vacuitisation est un échappatoire lâche. Retourne à la lutte, c'est la seule réalité. »
Cette attaque était différente des Exo-Causes habituelles (la faim, le bruit) ; elle était une attaque directe sur l'Endo-Causalité elle-même. Si Elara acceptait ce doute, la Lignification de l'oubli se réactiverait immédiatement, et son Êtreton s'effondrerait.
Le Bouclier de la Méta-Vacuité
Elara s'ancra immédiatement dans la Présentrance. Elle reconnut l'attaque comme un CMG pur et étranger, une onde d'information visant la Ligne de Signification de la Vérité.
* Locus Rectus : Le doute aigu de l'inutilité.
* Rétro-Lignification : Elle remonta le doute non pas à une insécurité personnelle, mais au CMG de l'Ur-Parasite qui cherche à renforcer l'Ur-CMG de la Séparation.
* Superintrondulation Ultime : Elle n'a pas débattu avec la pensée. Elle a simplement appliqué la Méta-Vacuité au concept du doute. Si même l'Êtreton est vide de substance, alors l'idée qu'il soit "vrai" ou "faux" est également vide.
* Trinité de Réponse : Elle activa le Fides (la Foi) absolue en l'existence de l'Ontons. Elle remplaça le doute par une simple Foi inébranlable dans la réalité de Rigpa, sans chercher à la prouver.
L'onde de l'Ur-Parasite frappa le bouclier du Méta-Vide de son Êtreton et se dissipa comme de la fumée dans l'air. Elle ne pouvait pas s'accrocher à l'absence d'attachement.
Sura intervint : « L'Êtreton ne combat jamais l'Ur-Parasite. Il ne fait que maintenir le Pax-Urale parfait. Le Manteau de l'Oubli ne peut pas adhérer au Méta-Vide. En l'accueillant sans jugement (Amore) et en restant stable (Fides), tu forces sa dissolution. »
Elara ressentit une nouvelle force, celle de l'imperméabilité. Elle venait de comprendre que l'Ur-Parasite était la preuve que la Rétro-Lignification fonctionnait, car l'illusion se battait pour sa survie.
The boss being confronted by one of his employees. From the "9 to 5" musical which was performed at the Valparaiso Memorial Opera House which is located in Valparaiso, Indiana.
This MOC was inspired by the scene from chapter 3 season 1 of The Mandalorian TV show where Mandalorian survivors confront the bounty hunters guild to help Din Djarin escape with Baby Yoda (or The Child) from Nevarro City. It's the first time I ever tried third-party LED lights in a MOC and I think it turned out really well. I'm happy with all the details, especially the big arch/gate and the rockwork, but unfortunately I ran out of some crucial pieces and wasn't able to make the whole MOC as detailed as I wanted. However, it still looks pretty decent I think.

Hyenas give birth in a communal den, however there is no communal care for the pups. Not even the fathers take a role in caring for the pups. Liter sizes in Hyenas are very small, consisting of 1-4 pups. Hyena pups are born with their eyes open and teeth!!
Hyenas live in clans. A clan, which is separated into packs, can contain up to 80 individuals!! Although Hyenas are also considered cooperative hunters, they are competitive in nature and will fight within the clan for food or dominance.
Female dominance within groups: The core of the clan is comprised of related females forming a hierarchy. In fact the instinctive desire for dominance is so strong in Hyenas that newborn pups will fight immediately after birth to gain dominance and right to food. It is estimated that 1 in 4 hyena pups die within the first month due to sibling fighting.
Hyenas are significantly more aggressive than African Wild Dogs. Hyenas have even been known to confront lions: not for food, but to fight. Hyenas are closer related to mongooses and cats
PAOLO WOODS
& GABRIELE GALIMBERTI
La mise en scène est géniale….on pousse une porte .. et on se trouve face à une immense table ovale entourée de chaises « Heavens », et, sur cette table, des noms…ceux de tous les paradis fiscaux du monde….
Singapour, îles Vierges, Hong Kong, Delaware, Luxembourg... On vous parle régulièrement des paradis fiscaux, mais on ne vous y a pas souvent emmenés. À l'occasion de la sortie du livre de Paolo Woods et Gabriele Galimberti (Les Paradis, rapport annuel) et de l'exposition qui leur est consacrée à Arles, voici un voyage dans ce monde secret, où l'extrême richesse se nourrit quasi exclusivement d'évasion fiscale.
When you enter the room of the exposition, there’s a table with chairs around..and, on the table, there’re the names of every tax heaven in front of every chair…
Tax heavens have quietly taken the world by storm. The growing flow of articles and reports on this poorly understood subject are usually illustrated with images of palm-fringed tropical beaches. Is that what tax havens really look like? From Delaware to Jersey; from the British Virgin Islands to the City of London, Paolo Woods and Gabriele Galimberti take us on a tour into a rarely seen, secretive world that is quite different from what we imagine. For over two years they have travelled to the offshore centers that embody tax avoidance, secrecy, and extreme wealth, driven by a constant obsession with translating this rather immaterial subject into images. They have actually created a company, aptly named ‘The Heavens’, based in the same nondescript Delaware office as Apple, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, General Electric, Google, Wal-Mart and 285,000 other businesses. Tax heavens are not an exotic tropical eccentricity, but have become a structural instrument of the globalized economy. They confront us with fundamental moral issues, involving the relationships between public and private; between companies and states; and between the heaves and the heave-nots.
Confronting unruly guests. The only way they know is to bop them on their noggin with a BB Bat. Shhhhh but we hollowed out a lil bit and filled with lead to make it extra dense ...you know for that really dense dimwit.

Excerpt from harbourfrontcentre.com:
In a series confronting our disconnected relationship with the vast amount of waste generated by consumer culture, JP King and Sean Martindale share large-format photographs shot within waste management facilities across the GTA.
The photos are mirrored, and like inkblots, can be viewed as a form of Rorschach test. The eye, naturally attracted to symmetry, experiences the phenomenon of pareidolia as we have a psychological tendency to see faces, creatures, and other patterns – forms both terrifying and alluring – in reflected images. On closer inspection however, the beauty we see in the echoed forms clashes with the abject detail and realities of the waste itself.
Waste is often perceived as filthy, chaotic, and disgusting; our culture goes to great lengths to separate itself from the refuse it produces every day. As we systematically hide this reality, we collectively create a dark mirror reflecting the failure of our desires, progress, and priorities. We must better understand our current situation and collective behaviour if we are to change it. This body of work offers a rare inside look at Toronto’s waste streams.
Technical:
While these complex images may look like digital renderings or composite creations, they are each single, mirrored photographs of the municipal waste stream. The detritus documented was not arranged or adjusted to compose the images, and the central mirror line of each is the uncropped, unmodified edge of the original photo. The only exception is the full wall panorama image that was created by stitching together a series of sequential photographs.
Confronting a giant version of yourself can be daunting. Especially when you realize it has better posture than you.

This little hummingbird is guarding its own personal feeder at the El Dorado lodge in the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia. While all the other hummingbirds were squabbling at the main feeders nearby, this one was quietly tucked away in the bushes next to a solitary feeder. As soon as another bird appeared it would dart out and confront them, only returning to its favourite perch when satisfied that the intruding bird had decided to feed elsewhere.
Confrontation... rivalité...

Red backed fairy wren playing hide and seek at Ningi, South East Queensland.
The Australasian wrens are a family, Maluridae, of small, insectivorous passerine birds endemic to Australia and New Guinea. While commonly known as wrens, they are unrelated to the true wrens. The family comprises 29 species (including fifteen fairywrens, three emu-wrens, and eleven grasswrens) in six genera.
As with many other Australian creatures, and perhaps more than most, the species making up this family were comprehensively misunderstood by early researchers. They were variously classified as Old World flycatchers, Old World warblers, and Old World babblers. In the late 1960s morphological studies began to suggest that the Australo-Papuan fairywrens, the grasswrens, emu-wrens and two monotypic wren-like genera from New Guinea were related and, following Charles Sibley's pioneering work on egg-white proteins in the mid-1970s, Australian researchers adopted the family name Maluridae in 1975.
With further morphological work and the great strides made in DNA analysis towards the end of the 20th century, their position became clear: the Maluridae are one of the many families to have emerged from the great corvid radiation in Australasia. Their closest relatives are the honeyeaters (Meliphagidae), and the pardalotes (Pardalotidae). Their obvious similarity to the wrens of Europe and America is not genetic, but simply the consequence of convergent evolution between more-or-less unrelated species that share the same ecological niche.
A 2011 analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA found the broad-billed fairywren and Campbell's fairywren, both formerly lumped together in the genus Malurus, to lie in a clade with the two other monospecific New Guinea genera and as such, they were later re-classified as separate species within the genus Chenorhamphus.
Malurids are small to medium birds, inhabiting a wide range of environments from rainforest to desert, although most species inhabit grassland or scrub. The grasswrens are well camouflaged with black and brown patterns, but other species often have brilliantly coloured plumage, especially in the males.
They are insectivorous, typically foraging in underbrush. They build domed nests in areas of dense vegetation, and it is not unusual for the young to remain in the nest and assist in raising chicks from later clutches.
Fairywrens are notable for several peculiar behavioral characteristics. They are socially monogamous and sexually promiscuous, meaning that although they form pairs between one male and one female, each partner will mate with other individuals and even assist in raising the young from such pairings. Males of several species pluck petals of conspicuous colours and display them to females for reasons unknown.
The song of fairywrens is pleasant and complex, and at least two species (superb and splendid) possess, in addition to the alarm calls common to – and universally understood by – most small birds, another vocalization used when confronted by predators. This, termed "Type II Vocalization," is song-like and used when confronted by calling butcherbirds, and sometimes other predatory birds. Its purpose is, however, unknown; it does not seem to be a warning call.
Se si confrontano gli umili papaveri (Papaver rhoeas) con gli altri fiori campestri, la loro diversità balza all'occhio immediatamente. A differenza degli altri fiori, infatti, i papaveri ostentano i loro petali come vessilli, che sventolano letteralmente alla carezza delle brezze primaverili. Forse sono loro, grazie a questa loro leggerezza luminosa, ad aver ispirato le bandiere che spesso hanno sedotto il cuore degli uomini ..... ..
Le pic vert d'assez grande taille, au plumage à dominante verte qui lui a donné son nom. C'est ce qu'on remarque en premier quand on est confronté à cette espèce. Ensuite, c'est le rouge vif de la tête qui saute aux yeux.
Le vert nettement nuancé de jaune couvre le dessus du corps, de la nuque à la queue, ainsi que les couvertures alaires. Le croupion et les sus-caudales apparaissent nettement plus jaunes. Les rémiges et les rectrices, d'un brun grisâtre, sont nettement barrées de noirâtre. Les rémiges secondaires et tertiaires sont largement ourlées de vert-jaune.
Les parties inférieures sont d'un blanc grisâtre avec une nuance jaune qui augmente en intensité de l'avant vers l'arrière. Ainsi, la gorge et les joues sont blanchâtres tandis que le bas ventre est nettement jaune, mais il y a des variations individuelles. Les plumes de l'arrière des flancs et les sous-caudales, jaunâtres et bordées de noirâtre, donnent un aspect écailleux.
La tête tricolore, rouge, noir et blanc, est remarquable. Les deux sexes possèdent une calotte rouge vif qui gagne la nuque, une couleur noire sur les lores, le pourtour des yeux et les moustaches, enfin la gorge et les parotiques blanchâtres. L'iris blanc ressort bien sur la joue noire. Le bec est jaunâtre ou corne, à pointe sombre. C'est au niveau de la tête que se situe le petit dimorphisme sexuel en vigueur chez cette espèce. Le mâle a un bandeau rouge dans la moustache noire alors que la femelle en est dépourvue. Les pattes, très griffues, sont brunâtres ou grisâtres.
Le juvénile se distingue tout de suite de l'adulte. Il est beaucoup plus sombre, moins vert, et la quasi-totalité de son plumage est marqué de stries, barres et mouchetures. Le dessus est d'un vert terne moucheté de gris jaunâtre. Le dessous blanc grisâtre est entièrement barré de noirâtre et les côtés de la tête possèdent des stries de même couleur. Le rouge de la calotte est moins vif.
Confronted with two additional doors we stepped through the left door and found ourselves in front of another massive oak. A stout wooden door was visible between the tree's massive root system. There were only two choices now--to open the door or to walk away and seek an exit elsewhere. We decided to go with the door. Unfortunately, try as we might, we could not open the door. It appeared to be locked from the inside. So what you do when you confront a locked door? Knock on it and see who opens it seemed the only sensible solution.

When confronted with the age of the Bristlecones, it's hard not to think of stories and myths and religion. One of the oldest bristlecones known to man was named after Prometheus and the light and fire that was stolen for humanity. Fire and trees inevitably makes me think of Moses and the burning bush. While these trees are thankfully not burned, they are burning with the burden of time. They have existed for periods of time longer than some of the religious stories l'm referencing here. Seeing that and realizing that is a religious experience in itself, no matter what you believe in.

Reconstituée d'après des photographies de 1912-1916, cette salle évoque la présence de Rodin à l'hôtel de Biron. L'auteur découvre le lieu en 1908 et en fait un espace de travail, d'exposition et de réception des artistes, des collectionneurs et des modèles. Confrontant ses œuvres et ses collections d'antiques et de peintures, il les dispose à même le sol, les présente sur des caisses ou sur des sellettes de sculpteur, en préfiguration du futur musée.
Reconstructed from photographs taken in 1912-1916, this room evokes Rodin's presence at the Hôtel de Biron. The author discovered the place in 1908 and made it a space for work, exhibition and reception of artists, collectors and models. Confronting his works and his collections of antiques and paintings, he arranged them on the floor, presented them on crates or on sculptor's saddles, in prefiguration of the future museum.
Un’immagine fortemente emblematica per questo mese di luglio 2020, sembra testimoniare un passaggio di consegne. Nella foto possiamo ammirare, uno accanto all’altro, sui binari del deposito locomotive di Messina, un treno POP (ETR 103/104) di ultima generazione e la locomotiva E.656.039, costruita nel lontano 1976 dalle officine Casaralta-Asgen.
