ZUG, SWITZERLAND: Financial investors and leaders of more than 30 different faith traditions representing over 500 faith investment groups from eight religions and billions of dollars in assets, met in Zug's beautiful Lassalle Haus retreat centre together with representatives of the UN and some key impact investment funds, for a unique international meeting on Faith in Finance. They are there because they have all agreed to set out and make public their priorities for positive investment – a huge shift from the faith tradition of saying, for ethical reasons, what they won’t invest in. Asking the question: “what do you do with your investments to make a better planet?” they will give huge impetus to a new movement of faith assets to funds where they have a positive “faith-consistent” impact. www.arcworld.org/projects.asp?projectID=674
We had some consistently subfreezing temperatures in January of 2016 and I took a number of images of the ice in the bird bath and also put out a shallow baking pan of water to freeze and then shot through it with the sky behind. I tried a variety of artistic treatments that gave the fancy colors to some of these.
Chinatown Bakery Presents Tong Tea, 9 Wardour Street, London W1D 6PF.
A cursory glance at the internet can be confusing as this is definitely an offering from a Chinese bakery and Tong Tea is certainly Chinese but there are references too to taiyaki and Japanese soft ice cream. This is, however, consistent with the offerings from the previous brand at 9 Wardour Street, illustrated below.

Descripció
Torre de guaita situada sobre un pujol al nord-oest del poble. És una torre de planta circular amb aparell de pedra sense treballar. Tan sols se'n conserven 12 metres d'alçada, corresponents a la planta baixa, el primer pis i l'inici del segon. L'absència d'arrencaments de volta fa pensar que probablement la separació interna dels pisos es fes amb embigats de fusta. L'accés a la torre es feia mitjançant una porta situada a la banda de migdia, al segon pis de la torre, d'arc de mig punt adovellat.
Adossades a la torre, a les bandes oest, nord i sud, hi ha restes de diferents estructures.
Notícies històriques
Es coneixen poques dades de la Torrota, ja que bona part de la documentació conservada fa referència als senyors del castell de Vacarisses. Aquest podria haver estat situat al centre del poble, al turó on hi ha l'actual castell, tot i que alguns autors el vinculen amb la Torrota.
Amb motiu del projecte de restauració de la torre endegat per l'Ajuntament, l'any 1999 es va portar a terme una intervenció arqueològica centrada a l'interior de la mateixa. Les dades estretes de l'excavació no van permetre situar la torre en un moment cronològic concret, tot i que per les seves característiques es pot situar als segles X-XI, datació que coincidiria amb les primeres mencions al castell de Vacarisses. Les intervencions portades a terme tant a la Torrota com al castell situat al poble, però, no han pogut determinar quin era el primitiu emplaçament del castell de Vacarisses al qual es refereix la documentació.

Descripció
S'accedeix a La Torrota des del nucli urbà de Vacarisses per la Carretera de la Bauma o BV-1212. A l'alçada del PK 0,7 cal agafar a la dreta el carrer del Serrat, punt en el qual es troba una senyal que indica l'accés cap a La Torrota. desprès d'uns 200 m. el carrer de terrra queda tallat. Des d'aquí cal anar a peu per la pista ample en direció oest, que es troba tancada per una cadena (no agafar un pertit corriol marcat com un GR que surt del mateix punt). Després d'uns 150 m. la pista s'estreta just en el punt en que creua una petita torrentera, i on cal deixar el camí principal per agafar un corriol a mà esquerra que s'enfila pel vessant sud del turó de la Torrota. Aquest corriol, fàcilment transitable a peu, porta directament fins a la torre. La torrota és perfectament visible des de l'entrada al nucli de Vacarisses.
Es tracta d'una torre de guaita de planta cilíndrica datada per l'aparell constructiu entorn els segles X i XI. El seu diàmetre interior és de 275 cm., i l'exterior de 525 cm. Les parets tenen un gruix de 125 cm. al pis inferior, i van decreixent a cada pis per facilitar l'estabilitat.
L'accès original es trobava a la cara sud, al segon pis de la torre, aproximadament a 7 m. d'alçada. Aquesta obertura estava formada per una porta dovellada i una llinda interior formada per una biga de fusta. Els esfondraments de la part superior fan que no poguem concretar l'alçada original de la construcció, de la qual actualment es conserven un 12 m.
Tant el parament interior com l'exterior età format per blocs de pedra lleugerament escairats i disposats en filades més o menys regulars. Les filades inteiors i exteriors estan farcides amb pedres de diferents mides barrejades amb morter. Ambdós paraments conserven els forats on es recolzaven les bigues a l'hora d'aixecar la construcció.
Al març de 1999 es va ralitzar una intervenció arqueològica consistent en el buidatge del reompliment de terra que quedava a l'interior de la torre d'entre 80 i 120 cm. de potència. Es va recuperar material format per fragments de ceràmica grollera de cocció reductora, 1 fragment de ceràmica blava catalana del tipus d'orles diverses, ossos de fauna i tota una sèrie de material modern.
Es va poder observar una capa de morter barrejat amb pedres de mida petita (entre 2 i 4 cm.) adossada a les parets de la torre i que segurament feia la funció de banqueta de fonamentació.
En la mateixa intervenció arqueològica es va procedir a la neteja superficial d'una sèrie de murs visibles a l'exterior i que formaven una estructura rectangular situada a la part oest de la torre.

During WW2, the storage bunkers were used to store things like food, water, and documents. They were weather proof, heat / cool consistent and had their own air circulation system. Anyhow, one of the bunkers also was supposed to have had celophane films of various things. (not sure what).
Anyhow, when the Soviet Army invaded Berlin and liberated the airport, they couldn't get into some of the storage bunkers. Thus, they decided to blow up the steel doors to get access. This resulted in a fire that burned very hot - for several days.
While they don't know if anyone was killed, and the cello film was destroyed, these bunkers are still there and available for us to explore.
They've not been repaired, the black smoke/heat can be seen from the fire (it collapsed the concrete in places and twisted the steel reinforcing rods) and the warped doors are not all in their hinges. Strangely, they re-wired the lights - which are the only "repair" made.

Brassneck (2014)
If you read this website on a somewhat consistent basis, you'll see two things repeated quite often. 1. I'm just a complete sucker for the music of the 90's, the music released then will always just seem like the best to me. And 2. There has been a real resurgence in bands today taking cues and paying homage to bands from the 90's; which is A-OK by me. Of all of the 90's things to stage a little comeback, the one I expected the least, but probably love the most is all of these new bands that sound like the glory days of the mid to late 90's UK punk scene. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, when bands like Broccoli, Hooton 3 Car and Chopper ruled the world, I never loved music more.
The 2 bands on this 7" not only take cues from that UK scene, several of the guys in these bands were actually part of it. First up we have The No Marks. They feature members of Crocodile God and Blocko. The 2 songs on their side of the 7" are phenomenal. They definitely have that Broccoli-esque raspy vocal thing and intricate guitar playing down, but I find them to be a bit poppier and perhaps slightly more lighthearted than Broccoli was. In particular the back and forth between clean guitar and fuzzy guitar on "About Tomorrow" really stands out as something unique.
Over on the flip side we've got Hyalin. A band made up of folks from Blocko and folks from one of my absolute current favorite bands Chestnut Road. All you really need to know is that of the 2 songs on this 7", one is a cover of the Broccoli song "Constance." It's great as is their original "Clear As Glass." If you imagined a band that sounded like a cross between Blocko and Chestnut Road, they would sound exactly like this.
This is just such a great 7" and really, everyone should check it out. While you're doing that, you really also should make sure you have every Broccoli, Blocko, Chestnut Road and Crocodile God record you can find. When you have all those don't forget Hooton 3 Car and Chopper. Oh and you should really grab that donFisher 7" that Crackle put out. So many record to buy...

One day last month I was out on the balcony with the camera early enough to catch our neighbor just about to pass over the bridge to cross the river. Either she or her husband or the both of them make this journey every morning and every evening to milk their cows that are pastured on the other side of the river from where they live.
It would not be an exaggeration to state that despite the consistent advance of western medicine, affordable and effective health care is still beyond the reach of vast sections of the world's population, particularly those residing in the developing world. A few decades ago, it was generally assumed by the scientific community that medicinal plants, homeopathic doses, acupuncture needles, yoga etc. could be safely relegated to no more than a footnote of medical history. But this assumption has indeed turned out to be a very premature one. During the past two decades, the upsurge in herbology, acupressure, acupuncture and yoga etc. across the world has been phenomenal. This renewed interest has generated an international awareness on the richness and importance of the subject. It is to cater to this interest and the need for trained practitioners in the field of alternative medicines that the Indian Board of Alternative Medicines offers a variety of multi level courses in alternative medicines.

Alright, so over the past few months I've been trying to get decent and somewhat consistent results out of this very not properly stored ektachrome from july of 1983.
Since it's nearly 40 years old now, the film has a slight blue cast but has a surprising amount of density compared to where I was before with it. The shot here was quite a bit more blue and slightly green, but a quick absolute black level adjustment on those two channels got everything nicely in place color-wise
Since I didn't have any reciprocity data for this old emulsion I just went ahead and used 100 seconds at around 5.6 or so. Really pleased with the results here, even though this particular stock is definitely physically degrading emulsion-wise due to age and the fact that it smells like it was stored in an incredibly humid garage. Fun.
World’s Best Surfers Ignite Aproador to Complete Round 1 of Billabong Rio Pro
APROADOR, Rio de Janeiro/Brazil (Tuesday, May 17, 2011) – After a week of lay-days, the world’s best surfers tore into consistently changing conditions at the lefthand pointbreak of Aproador to complete Round 1 of the Billabong Rio Pro.
Stop No. 3 of 11 on the ASP World Title Series, the opening day of men’s competition saw ASP Dream Tour veterans earn the day’s top scores while defending event winner Jadson Andre (BRA), 21, made an impressive entrance in the Billabong Rio Pro’s opening round.
Kelly Slater (USA), 39, reigning 10-time ASP World Champion, got off to a strong start to open his Billabong Rio Pro campaign. Slater unleashed two furious tail-drifting backhand turns to notch the day’s highest single-wave score of a 9.00 (out of 10) midway through his bout to overtake ASP World Tour rookie Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, and event wildcard Peterson Crisanto (BRA), 18, after nearly missing the start of his heat.
“That 9 felt good,” Slater said. “I went down to grab my jersey and there was some confusion. By the time I got out, the heat had already started and Julian got that first one. It wasn’t a good start. I knew there were going to be some good ones and I just had to be patient. That one good wave actually let me bottom turn and hit the lip, most of the waves were soft and had a lot of horizontals.”
Slater, who finished runner-up at the Billabong Pro last year, was also quick to admit that several goofy-footers will be tough to beat at the lefthander of Aproador and noted that the natural-footers will need to be especially selective in their wave choice at the Billabong Rio Pro.
“A little left like this is going to play well for goofy footers,” Slater said. “Owen (Wright) and Jadson (Andre) are probably frothing on it and licking their chops ready to go. We (natural footers) have been on our frontside at Snapper and Bells and now it’s their turn. We’ve just got to try and be smart. Mick (Fanning) looked good and there are waves out there to do it, you’ve just got to be smart.”
Taj Burrow (AUS), 32, opened his Billabong Rio Pro campaign with a sharp backhand attack by belting two Arpoador lefthanders to the tune of a 16.83 (out of 20) on his first two waves to earn the highest heat-total of the day. The Australian veteran notched his Round 1 heat win over dangerous Brazilian rookie Alejo Muniz (BRA), 21, and event wildcard Ricardo Santos (BRA), 20.
“It was kind of scary for a second there, right when they decided to start the competition the wind started howling, but then it cleaned up heaps,” Burrow said. “I got two fun ones at the start so I’m happy.”
Jadson Andre, defending event winner, reveled in Aproador’s lefthanders with a combination of aggressive carves and snaps to take a convincing Round 1 heat victory with the support of the Brazilian crowd behind him.
“I’m so happy to be here competing in Brazil and I love Aproador, I feel like a local,” Andre said. “I’ve competed here several times before and have friends here. I know everyone says I should feel pressure as defending champion, but I’m not worried about it. I’m just thinking about the next heat. That’s what I did last year.”
Mick Fanning (AUS), 29, two-time ASP World Champion, slowly built momentum in his opening Billabong Rio Pro heat, eventually igniting two lefthanders by combining a series of seamless backhand turns to notch a 15.07 heat total to advance directly through to Round 3.
“It was tricky trying to find the right one out there, but I watched the heat before and noticed that guys that were doing turns back-to-back were getting scores, so I tried to concentrate on that,” Fanning said. “They weren’t the biggest waves, but they just allowed three turns straight away.”
The Australian talent also expressed the importance of advancing directly through to Round 3 with Brazil’s ever-changing conditions.
“It’s really good to skip as many rounds as possible, especially here in Brazil where it can be really unpredictable,” Fanning said. “I’m stoked to get through Round 1 and I’ll go back and assess what’s going on and hopefully keep going.”
Billabong Rio Pro event organizers will reconvene at Aproador at 7am local time tomorrow morning for a possible Round 2 start.

Joanne Bartlett was sacked unfairly by Burger Fuel Mission Bay under the 90 day 'fire at will' law a few days after she asked for more than a single 10 minute lunch break each day, which she had been receiving for an 8 hour shift. She had consistently received the highest grades in Burger Fuel's training programme and had culinary school qualifications. She had also worked extra shifts when requested. No reason was given for the dismissal.

There is no consistent distinction between cormorants and shags. The names "cormorant" and "shag" were originally the common names of the two species of the family found in Great Britain, Phalacrocorax carbo (now referred to by ornithologists as the Great Cormorant) and P. aristotelis (the European Shag). "Shag" refers to the bird's crest, which the British forms of the Great Cormorant lack. As other species were discovered by English-speaking sailors and explorers elsewhere in the world, some were called cormorants and some shags, depending on whether they had crests or not. Sometimes the same species is called a cormorant in one part of the world and a shag in another, e.g., the Great Cormorant is called the Black Shag in New Zealand (the birds found in Australasia have a crest that is absent in European members of the species). Van Tets (1976) proposed to divide the family into two genera and attach the name "Cormorant" to one and "Shag" to the other, but this flies in the face of common usage and has not been widely adopted.
The scientific genus name is latinized Ancient Greek, from φαλακρός (phalakros, "bald") and κόραξ (korax, "raven"). This is often thought to refer to the creamy white patch on the cheeks of adult Great Cormorants, or the ornamental white head plumes prominent in Mediterranean birds of this species, but is certainly not a unifying characteristic of cormorants. "Cormorant" is a contraction derived either directly from Latin corvus marinus, "sea raven" or through Brythonic Celtic. Cormoran is the Cornish name of the sea giant in the tale of Jack the Giant Killer. Indeed, "sea raven" or analogous terms were the usual terms for cormorants in Germanic languages until after the Middle Ages. The French explorer André Thévet commented in 1558 that "...the beak [is] similar to that of a cormorant or other corvid," which demonstrates that the erroneous belief that the birds were related to ravens lasted at least to the 16th century.
The word cormorant is pronounced /ˈkɔrmərənt/, with the stress on the first syllable.

Review by Jason Birchmeier
A half-century into their recording career, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico are still one of the leading salsa acts in Latin music, which is all the more remarkable when you consider that founder and bandleader Rafael Ithier was well into his eighties when he and his orchestra released Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso. The third full-length studio album released since Gran Combo de Puerto Rico left Combo Records at the turn of the century, after a quarter-century of releasing a new studio album more or less every year on the label, Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso is no less exciting than its predecessors, Aquí Estamos y...¡de Verdad! (2004) and Arroz con Habichuela (2006), the latter of which won the group a Latin Grammy award for Best Tropical Album. The title track of Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso storms out of the gate as the album opener. One of El Gran Combo's best singles in recent years, "Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso" is straight fire and sets the album aflame from the get-go. While none of the subsequent tracks on the ten-track album measure up to the stand-out title track, there are plenty of highlights, among them a new version of "Achilipú," which was originally released on the classic album De Punta a Punta (1971), and "Colombia Tierra Querida." Fans of El Gran Combo know what to expect on Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso, as this group is nothing if not consistent, and the album doesn't disappoint, the title track in particular.

Some rare cats, clouded leopards, etc., had it even worse, many with hospitalism (pacing back and forth incessantly before the bars or windows of their cages).
- I really enjoyed China (although Beijing was tense, depressing in fact, as I was there only 3 - 4 weeks after the massacre in Tian'anmen square; my spirits really lifted after I left for Xi'an), the locals were generally friendly, I loved renting a bike and exploring around various cities like Xi'an, Chengdu and Kunming, and the food in Western China (Gansu and Sichuan) was consistently the best I've had on any trip to date, simple and delicious. Every meal was a pleasure. But you'll see dark things en route anywhere that make an impression, and one I remember on this trip was this zoo, which I presume was pre-eminent in the country. Rare Asian leopards were in small, low cages, pacing back and forth compulsively before the bars or the mesh; most animals were isolated from one another, and I best remember a large tiger sitting on a small, raised, green mound down below in a large, wide, open, walled pit outside, exposed, and howling or yelping every few seconds continuously, clearly nuts, and heart-breaking. The thing to do for some local visitors was to pick up small stones and throw them down at it. When one young laughing woman a few metres to my left did this I objected, and then she turned and laughed at me!
- Pet ownership was still rare in China in 1989, and caring for pets and interaction with animals will teach people that animals, or at least mammals, have feelings and are more like us than we'd ever guess before getting to know them. I'm sure the animals in this zoo receive much better care today than they did when I toured it decades ago.
- But that said, we often project onto animals when we shouldn't (including mammals). The owners of boas or pythons should know and keep in mind that their snakes don't love them back. Too many owners have fallen asleep in bed or on the couch eating cheezies and watching TV while cuddled up with their constrictor wrapped around them and didn't wake back up if it was feeling the least bit peckish. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWXAtHJ0yc8 Oscar Brown Jr.'s 'The Snake': www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxVymZxekEw

- Here's a list of the top 10 most dangerous legal exotic pets.: pethelpful.com/exotic-pets/dangerous-exotic-animals-pets The author writes that "[t]he danger presented by snakes is often way, way, way overhyped", but "[s]hould a large snake find its way out of [its] enclosure ..., sleeping children, pets, and sometimes adult humans are at severe risk from the unseen menace." A warning, some of the accounts in the article of attacks by chimps are nightmarish.

One consistent factor of life in Hungary: car papers. These official documents must be with the car at all times when in operation. Not too hard there. These official documents must NOT be in the car when it is not in operation. Therein lies the challenge. Once you remove the papers, it is hard to always remember them.
I have never seen anyone's car papers in anything except these plastic wallets. I would expect people to want to customize the appearance of their own car papers, but apparently no one does. It's probably not allowed.
This will be another thing we will leave behind in Budapest.
