my daughter needed some dance shots - so I checked the tides, checked the sunrise times, and went to the beach and had some fun...... here are some of our faves.
Several definitions of the Arctic as a region exist and are all used extensively. Definitions of the geographic boundaries of the Arctic vary, including such definitions as the area with a July isotherm below 10º C, vegetation distribution (tundra) or political boundaries, such as the definition by CAFF (CAFF, 2001). Nowhere else on Earth do we find such vast areas of relatively undisturbed marine and coastal ecosystems.

The key thing here is the picture in the middle of the board. We have a ball moving in a circle. If there were no forces acting, the ball would follow the paths shown: constant velocity straight lines. So that it is moving in a circle means that there must be a force causing this. Three positions are sketched to show that for the ball to fall away from its straightline path, there must be a force in the directions shown. As the picture strongly suggests, these forces have a pattern- they seem to point to the center of the circle. For an object to move in a circle, this will always be true.
The right side of the board shows two vocab terms: centripetal force and centrifugal force.
Centripetal force is by far the more important. It means the inward force that keeps an object moving in a circle. Note that I cross out the word the. The centripetal force is not a new force, it is merely one of the forces that we've already studied, gravity, tension, magnetism etc.
Centrifugal force doesn't really exist. It's the fictitious force that results from our being objects in motion that try and stay in motion. As our inertia wants to carry us in a straight line, we feel this if something forces us to move in a circle. The term isn't useless- this fictitious force feels very real and can be used for useful things, like in a centrifuge.

Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often conducted for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Allure. Over time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are enhanced by the presence of exotic locations or accessories.

The Postcard
A high definition early view of the Unknown Warrior's grave in Westminster Abbey on a postally unused postcard.
The Unknown Warrior
The Tomb of The Unknown Warrior holds an unidentified member of the British armed forces killed on a European battlefield during the First World War. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, London on the 11th. November 1920, simultaneously with a similar interment of a French unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in France, making both graves the first to honour the unknown dead of the First World War.
History of the Unknown Warrior
The idea of a Tomb of the Unknown Warrior was first conceived in 1916 by the Reverend David Railton, who, while serving as an army chaplain on the Western Front, had seen a grave marked by a rough cross, which bore the pencil-written legend 'An Unknown British Soldier'.
He wrote to the Dean of Westminster, Herbert Ryle, in 1920 proposing that an unidentified British soldier from the battlefields in France be buried with due ceremony in Westminster Abbey "Amongst the Kings" to represent the many hundreds of thousands of Empire dead.
The idea was strongly supported by the Dean and the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George.
Selection, Arrival and Ceremony
Arrangements were placed in the hands of Lord Curzon who prepared in committee the service and location. Suitable remains were exhumed from various battlefields and brought to the chapel of Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise near Arras, France on the night of the 7th. November 1920.
The bodies were received by the Reverend George Kendall OBE. The remains were then placed in four plain coffins each covered by Union Flags.
Brigadier L. J. Wyatt and Lieutenant Colonel E. A. S. Gell went into the chapel. the two officers did not know from which battlefield any individual soldier had come. Brigadier Wyatt with closed eyes rested his hand on one of the coffins. The other soldiers were then taken away for reburial by Kendall.
The coffin of the unknown warrior then stayed at the chapel overnight, and on the afternoon of the 8th. November, it was transferred under guard and escorted by Kendall, with troops lining the route, from St. Pol to the medieval castle within the ancient citadel at Boulogne.
For the occasion, the castle library was transformed into a chapelle ardente: a company from the French 8th. Infantry Regiment, recently awarded the Légion d'Honneur en masse, stood vigil overnight.
The following morning, two undertakers entered the castle library and placed the coffin in a casket of oak timbers from trees in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace.
The casket was banded with iron, and a crusader's sword chosen by King George V personally from the Royal Collection was affixed to the top and surmounted by an iron shield bearing the inscription:
"A British Warrior who fell in
the Great War 1914–1918 for
King and Country".
The casket was then placed on a French military wagon, drawn by six black horses. At 10:30 a.m., all the church bells of Boulogne tolled; the massed trumpets of the French cavalry and the bugles of the French infantry played Aux Champs (the French "Last Post").
Then, the mile-long procession—led by one thousand local schoolchildren and escorted by a division of French troops—made its way down to the harbour.
At the quayside, Marshal Foch saluted the casket before it was carried up the gangway of the destroyer, HMS Verdun, and piped aboard with an admiral's call. The Verdun slipped anchor just before noon, and was joined by an escort of six battleships.
As the flotilla carrying the casket closed on Dover Castle it received a 19-gun Field Marshal's salute. It was landed at Dover Marine Railway Station on the 10th. November. The body of the Unknown Warrior was then carried to London in South Eastern and Chatham Railway General Utility Van No.132, which had previously carried the bodies of Edith Cavell and Charles Fryatt.
The van has been preserved by the Kent and East Sussex Railway. The train went to Victoria Station, where it arrived at 8:32 p.m. that evening and remained overnight. (A plaque at Victoria Station marks the site: every year on the 10th. November, a small Remembrance service, organised by The Western Front Association, takes place between platforms 8 and 9.)
On the morning of the 11th. November 1920, the casket was placed onto a gun carriage of the Royal Horse Artillery and drawn by six black horses through immense and silent crowds. As the cortege set off, a further Field Marshal's salute was fired in Hyde Park.
The route followed was Hyde Park Corner, The Mall, and to Whitehall where the Cenotaph, a "symbolic empty tomb", was unveiled by King-Emperor George V. The cortège was then followed by The King, the Royal Family and ministers of state to Westminster Abbey, where the casket was borne into the West Nave of the Abbey flanked by a guard of honour of one hundred recipients of the Victoria Cross.
The guests of honour were a group of about one hundred women. They had been chosen because they had each lost their husband and all their sons in the war. Every woman so bereft who applied for a place was given one.
The coffin was then interred in the far western end of the Nave, only a few feet from the entrance, in soil brought from each of the main battlefields, and covered with a silk pall. Servicemen from the armed forces stood guard as tens of thousands of mourners filed silently past.
The ceremony appears to have served as a form of catharsis for collective mourning on a scale not previously known.
The grave was then capped with a black Belgian marble (the only tombstone in the Abbey on which it is forbidden to walk) featuring this inscription, composed by Herbert Edward Ryle, Dean of Westminster, engraved with brass from melted down wartime ammunition:
"Beneath this stone rests the body
Of a British warrior
Unknown by name or rank
Brought from France to lie among
The most illustrious of the land
And buried here on Armistice Day
11 Nov: 1920, in the presence of
His Majesty King George V
His Ministers of State
The Chiefs of his forces
And a vast concourse of the nation
Thus are commemorated the many
Multitudes who during the Great
War of 1914 – 1918 gave the most that
Man can give life itself
For God
For King and country
For loved ones home and empire
For the sacred cause of justice and
The freedom of the world
They buried him among the kings because
He had done good toward God and toward
His house"
Around the main inscription are four New Testament quotations:
-- "The Lord knoweth them that are his".
-- "Unknown and yet well known, dying
and behold we live".
-- "Greater love hath no man than this".
-- "In Christ shall all be made alive".
Later History
A year later, on the 17th. October 1921, the unknown warrior was given the United States' highest award for valour, the Medal of Honor, from the hand of General John Pershing; it hangs on a pillar close to the tomb. On the 11th. November 1921, the American Unknown Soldier was reciprocally awarded the Victoria Cross.
When Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) married Prince Albert, Duke of York (who became King George VI) on the 26th. April 1923, she laid her bouquet at the Tomb on her way into the Abbey.
This was a tribute to her brother Fergus who had died at the Battle of Loos in 1915. His name was listed among those of the missing on the Loos Memorial, although in 2012 a new headstone was erected in the Quarry Cemetery, Vermelles.
Royal brides married at the Abbey now have their bouquets laid on the tomb the day after the wedding and all of the official wedding photographs have been taken. It is also the only tomb not to have been covered by a special red carpet for the wedding of the Duke of York, and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.
Before she died in 2002, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother expressed the wish for her wreath to be placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, laid the wreath the day after the funeral.
The British Unknown Warrior came 76th in the 100 Great Britons poll.
A new steam locomotive, LMS Patriot Class 5551 The Unknown Warrior, is being constructed by a charitable project. The new locomotive is destined to be the new National Memorial Engine, continuing the Remembrance tradition of the Patriot class steam locomotive and its predecessors. A public appeal to build the locomotive was launched in 2008, and work continues today.
Heads of state from over 70 countries have lain wreaths in memoriam of the Unknown Warrior.
On the 100th anniversary of the interment a ceremony including The Queen, Prince Charles and the Prime Minister was held at the Abbey and broadcast live to the nation by the BBC. The Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, read a newly-written poem "The Bed":
The Bed
"Sharp winds scissor and scythe those plains.
And because you are broken and sleeping rough
in a dirt grave, we exchange the crude wooden cross
for the hilt and blade of a proven sword;
to hack through the knotted dark of the next world,
yes, but to lean on as well at a stile or gate
looking out over fens or wealds or fells or wolds.
That sword, drawn from a king’s sheath,
fits a commoner’s hand, and is yours to keep.
And because frost plucks at the threads
of your nerves, and your bones stew in the rain,
bedclothes of zinc and oak are trimmed
and tailored to fit. Sandbags are drafted in,
for bolstering limbs and pillowing dreams,
and we throw in a fistful of battlefield soil:
an inch of the earth, your share of the spoils.
The heavy sheet of stone is Belgian marble
buffed to a high black gloss, the blanket
a flag that served as an altar cloth. Darkness
files past, through until morning, its head bowed.
Molten bullets embroider incised words.
Among drowsing poets and dozing saints
the tall white candles are vigilant sentries
presenting arms with stiff yellow flames;
so nobody treads on the counterpane,
but tiptoeing royal brides in satin slippers
will dress and crown you with luminous flowers.
All this for a soul without name or rank or age
or home, because you are the son we lost, and
your rest is ours".
-- Simon Armitage.
'Perhaps'
Here is a poem entitled 'Perhaps', by Vera Brittain. It is dedicated to her fiancé Roland Aubrey Leighton, who was killed at the age of 20 by a sniper in 1915, four months after she had accepted his marriage proposal:
'Perhaps some day the sun will shine again,
And I shall see that still the skies are blue,
And feel once more I do not live in vain,
Although bereft of You.
Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet
Will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay,
And I shall find the white May-blossoms sweet,
Though You have passed away.
Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright,
And crimson roses once again be fair,
And autumn harvest fields a rich delight,
Although You are not there.
Perhaps some day I shall not shrink in pain
To see the passing of the dying year,
And listen to Christmas songs again,
Although You cannot hear.
But though kind Time may many joys renew,
There is one greatest joy I shall not know
Again, because my heart for loss of You
Was broken, long ago'.
Day 73:
Beauty.
One word that has a different meaning to every single living person. A lot of people interpret the word as the physical attributes that someone possesses. To me that is sad because those people's eyes are missing out on so much, not only people, but nature. I don't think these people truly appreciate the beauty of nature, but that is not the main point I am after today.
People. It's sad that anyone's beauty would be judged on their physical appearance. I know that is how most define someone's beauty, but I find that to be a simple minded way of seeing someone's beauty. The beauty I see in someone does not only consist of their personality, but a huge percentage comes from where they actually come from, where they have been in life. I find someone to be beautiful from the struggles they have gone through and the obstacles they have overcome. I find beauty in someone embracing the differences that are them instead of hiding them within because it is not what society sees as the "norm" or sees as the simple minded form of beauty.
So I say to those of you who think you are ugly, a loser, or fucked up, I say to those of you who think of themselves in any sort of negative way...
To me you are beautiful.
Truly, truly beautiful.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines rare as " 2. a : marked by unusual quality, merit, or appeal : distinctive" and this is a picture of that definition
I previously posted another shot of this lil fella at the Rainbow Festival Parade I attended. I was so captivated by him because he was so well mannered and well behaved. I love how he just sat in the same place and simply watched and observed with all activity that was going on around him. He didn't act bored or bratty, He seemed so content and at peace.
As far as can be ascertained, it was Sir John Herschel in a lecture before the Royal Society of London, on March 14, 1839 who made the word "photography" known to the world. But in an article published on February 25 of the same year in a German newspaper called the Vossische Zeitung, Johann von Maedler, a Berlin astronomer, had used the word photography already.[2] The word photography is based on the Greek φῶς (photos) "light" and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light".

Canterbury (i/ˈkæntərbᵊri/ or /ˈkæntərbɛri/) is a historic English cathedral city, which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a district of Kent in South East England. It lies on the River Stour.
Originally a Brythonic settlement, it was renamed Durovernum Cantiacorum by the Roman conquerors in the 1st century AD. After it became the chief Jutish settlement, it gained its English name Canterbury, itself derived from the Old English Cantwareburh ("Kent people's stronghold"). After the Kingdom of Kent's conversion to Christianity in 597, St Augustine founded an episcopal see in the city and became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, a position that now heads the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion (though the modern-day Province of Canterbury covers the entire south of England). Thomas Becket's murder at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 led to the cathedral becoming a place of pilgrimage for Christians worldwide. This pilgrimage provided the theme for Geoffery Chaucer's 14th-century literary classic The Canterbury Tales. The literary heritage continued with the birth of the playwright Christopher Marlowe in the city in the 16th century.
