A Star Wars walker based on the "All Terrain Attack Pod." I gave it more traditional Imperial looking legs and, out of appreciation for kitbash, appropriated WWII German equipment, namely, the 88 Pak 43 gun and the Panzer II turret.

Op verzoek van de gemeente Groningen herstart VAM in 1998 het vervoer van huisvuil per trein. Direct na de opening van de aansluiting in september 1998 start ACTS een dagelijkse afvaldienst naar Wijster. Vervoerd wordt GFT-afval, grof huishoudelijk afval en RDF, een restproduct van de vergistingsinstallatie die biogas produceert.
Vanaf 2001 wordt het RDF middels een wekelijkse rijdende afvaltrein naar Schwarze Pumpe in Spreewitz afgevoerd. Twee jaar later komt er tweemaal per week een RDF-trein bij naar Bremen. De trein naar Spreewitz vervalt herhaaldelijk, die naar naar Bremen stopt in het voorjaar van 2009. In de loop van 2010 wordt het vuilvervoer bij Vagron geheel gestopt.
In 2008 werden naast de Vagron-containers beladen met RDF naar Bremen ook containers meegenomen vanuit Veendam. De containerdraagwagens en afvalwagens werden in Onnen gecombineerd en vanaf daar tweemaal per week via de grensovergang bij Nieuweschans afgevoerd naar Leer en Bremen.
Op 6 juni 2008 is ACTS-loc 7107 na de kruising met Arriva uit Leer vertrokken met trein 47728 richting Leer en passeert hier de brug over de Westerwoldsche Aa. Rechts is een deel van de Oude Remise, een voormalige locomotiefloods van de Staatsspoorwegen, uit 1876 te zien. In 1996 werd het gebouw opgenomen in een reeks van industriële monumenten in de provincie Groningen. De Oude Remise herbergt ondermeer een koffieschenkerij, de Stichting Bruisend Bad Nieuweschans, een toeristisch informatiepunt, een kunstencentrum en museum De Graanrepubliek gevestigd.

Direct me now, O gracious Lord,
To hear aright Thy holy Word;
Assist Thy minister to preach,
And let Thy Holy Spirit teach,
And let eternal life be found

Space Science image of the week:
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the international Cassini–Huygens mission made its final close flyby of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, coming within 1000 km of the atmosphere-clad world.
The image presented here is a raw image sent back to Earth yesterday, taken on Saturday at 18:42 GMT. It is one of many that can be found in the Cassini raw image archive.
The latest flyby used Titan’s gravity to slingshot Cassini into the final phase of its mission, setting it up for a series of 22 weekly ‘Grand Finale’ orbits that will see the spacecraft dive between Saturn’s inner rings and the outer atmosphere of the planet. The first of these ring plane dives occurs on Wednesday.
Cassini will make many additional non-targeted flybys of Titan and other moons in the Saturnian system in the coming months, at much greater distances. Non-targeted flybys require no special manoeuvres, but rather the moon happens to be relatively close to the spacecraft’s path.
A final, distant, flyby of Titan will occur on 11 September, in what has been nicknamed the ‘goodbye kiss,’ because it will direct Cassini on a collision course with Saturn on 15 September. This will conclude the mission in a manner that avoids the possibility of a future crash into the potentially habitable ocean-moon Enceladus, protecting that world for future exploration.
A press conference will be held on 25 April at 13:30 GMT (15:30 CEST), at the European Geosciences Union meeting in Vienna, to preview the Grand Finale, as well as celebrate the scientific highlights of Cassini’s incredible 13-year odyssey at Saturn.
Just today a new result was published in Nature Astronomy finds that when viewed from Cassini's orbit, Titan's nightside likely shines 10-200 times brighter than its dayside. Scientists think that this is caused by efficient forward scattering of sunlight by its extended atmospheric haze, a behaviour unique to Titan in our Solar System.
Cassini–Huygens is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and ASI, the Italian space agency.

The growth of online delivery services like Fresh Direct has truly been phenomenal. On a daily basis ,throughout the city, tractor trailer trucks arrive and unload these brightly colored boxes filled with supermarket items to be sorted and then delivered to the tenants of surrounding residential buildings. It is true that Covid 19 has made in- store shopping less attractive but online services like Fresh Direct are a trend likely to continue well after after the pandemic subsides.

Tot het begin van de jaren tachtig van de vorige eeuw werden er op gezette tijden sneltramdiensten ingelegd op de Belgische kustlijn. Hier rijdt de gereconstrueerde brede standaard-motorwagen door De Panne. Op de achtergrond is de toren van de Sint Pieterskerk te zien.

Petite virée à la billebaude dans les champs de Belberaud . Au loin je vois un renard sortir d'une haie et suivre une piste . Je me glisse discretement et me place en affût sous filet de camouflage près de cette piste dans l'espoir de le voir revenir chargé. Ce n'est pas lui qui revient , mais un couple de blaireaux qui gambadent dans ma direction et passent juste à côté pour plonger dans la haie vers leur terrier . Moment intense , un de plus ...

High winds on Sept. 4, 2011, directed fire quickly into Bastrop State Park, a National Historic Landmark with structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), Works Progress Administration (WPA), and National Youth Administration (NYA) during the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Hundreds of defenders, including more than 140 TPWD wildland firefighters, TPWD staff, and commercial partners, battled the blaze. In the end, fire impacted 96 percent of the 6,565-acre park.
Most notably, the fire significantly impacted the Lost Pines ecosystem, an area of isolated loblolly pines that is home to the endangered Houston toad.

Depuis 1889, trois ans après celle de New York (28 octobre 1886), une réplique de la Statue de la Liberté, œuvre de Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, offerte à la France par les citoyens français établis aux États-Unis, version coulée en bronze d'un modèle d'étude en plâtre réalisé par Bartholdi pour concevoir la Statue de la Liberté de New-York. Dès 1884, le Comité des Américains de Paris avait lancé une souscription, et le modèle original en plâtre fut inauguré en mai 1885 place des États-Unis. La statue en bronze, achevée deux ans plus tard, fut transportée sur l'ïle en juin 1889, à l'occasion du centenaire de la Révolution et dans le cadre de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, et inaugurée par le président Carnot le 4 juillet.
Installée à l'époque de manière à faire face à la Tour Eiffel, elle tournait le dos aux États-Unis afin de ne pas tourner le dos à l'Élysée ; Bartholdi le déplorait. Elle fut finalement retournée vers l'aval du fleuve lors de l'exposition universelle de 1937, alors que l'île accueillait le Centre des colonies.
Son socle porte une plaque commémorative, et le livret qu'elle tient dans la main gauche porte l'inscription « IV Juillet 1776 = XIV Juillet 1789 » dates respectives des révolutions américaine et française.
D'une hauteur de 11,50 mètres, elle est bien plus petite que l'originale (46,50 mètres).
Du printemps 1998 au printemps 1999, à l'occasion de l'« Année de la France au Japon », la statue a été prêtée au Japon et installée à Odaiba dans la baie de Tokyo, avant de revenir sur son île parisienne.
----------------------------------------
A notable feature is a one-fourth scale replica of the Statue of Liberty, 22 metres high and facing west in the direction of its larger sibling in New York City. This monument, which was inaugurated by French President Marie François Sadi Carnot on 4 July 1889 (nearly three years after its counterpart), was given to the city of Paris by the American community of Paris, commemorating the centennial of the French Revolution. The statue initially faced east, toward the Eiffel Tower, but it was turned west in 1937 for the exposition universelle hosted by Paris that year. Its base carries a commemorative plaque, and the tablet in its left hand bears the inscription IV Juillet 1776 = XIV Juillet 1789, recognizing the American Independence Day and Bastille Day, respectively. An even smaller statue is located in the Jardin du Luxembourg, and a third copy can be seen in the Musée des Arts et Métiers.

「胡楊生而千年不死，死而千年不倒，倒而千年不爛」
Euphrates Poplar (胡楊) is known as "the hero tree" in the deserts.
Rooted over 50 meters down the ground, they thrive in hostile environments, defying droughts, sandstorms and salinization. They are known as the hero tree, because a euphrates poplar can live for a thousand years. Even after it dies, it stands upright for a thousand years, and even after it falls, it stays intact for another thousand years.
