In the developed world, the experience of the average twenty-five-year-old is one of substantial overlap between online and offline friends and colleagues. The overlap is so great, in fact, that both the word and the concept of “cyberspace” have fallen into disuse. The internet augments real-world social life rather than providing an alternative to it. Instead of becoming a separate cyberspace, our electronic networks are becoming deeply embedded in real life.

A toy embedded, close to the kerb, in a (relatively) newly laid pavement, on Lower Dargle Road, Bray.
Instead of the usual scrawling in the wet cement, someone pressed this guy into the, aforementioned, wet cement and it has set around him.
I suspect the missing leg is the result of trying to extract him.
Here's another installment in my set of video clips from Shoshone Geyser Basin in Yellowstone from August 1994.
Of the few who hike the 9 miles to this backcountry thermal area, fewer still see the Western Group, because it's hidden behind trees 250 yards behind the main Shoshone Geyser Basin.
I tried to rescue my old analog 8mm videos by embedding them as thumbnails in larger photos taken on 35mm slide film from the same trip.

By this time the emperor and his inner council had fled to the Mountain Retreat for Escaping Summer Heat (Bishu shanzhuang) at Chengde, leaving Prince Gong and the demor- alized remnants of Senggerinchin's Mongol cavalry to deal with the allied armies. While Prince Gong contemplated his options, Lord Elgin, from his headquarters in Western Yellow Temple outside of the north wall of Beijing, awaited word on Harry Parkes and the group of soldiers, diplomats, and civil ians captured near Zhangjiawan on 17 September. Meanwhile, French forces reached the gates of the Summer Palace on 7 october and began to loot the buildings. Later in the day they were joined by elements of the British army. Not long afterward, Beijing surrendered and Lord Elgin learned ofthe fate of the captives, which led directly to his decision to destroy the Summer Palace. on 18 and 19 october, forty-four hundred officers and men ofthe Ist Infantry Division of the British contingent burned the entire palace complex. Within days of the destruction of the palaces, the Tianjin Treaty and the Beijing Con- vention were ratified, and Euroamerican relations with China were forever altered
Qichun (Beauteous spring) garden. There were also a number of other, smaller gardens to the south and westofthese, including the Wanshou (Birthday) garden, which would later become the focal point of the "new Summer Palace (Yihe yuan). In addition, the northeast border of the Change chun garden where the Chinese-rococo-style palaces and fountains de signed by Italian and French missionaries were located.36 Taken together the gardens covered an estimated 857 acres.37 Further, although some of the accounts refer to the destruction of the "Yuen-ming-yuen" (or Ewen-ming Ewen, as M'Ghee delightfully heard it), the actual buildings burned may have exceeded those ofthe three primary gardens. Colonel C. P B. Walker's journal entry for 19 october suggests, for example, that the cavalry troop he com manded destroyed buildings rightupto the foot of the Fragrant Hills, perhaps including some of the military located there (1894: 217). other accounts mention the burning of villages adjacent to the gardens (swinhoe m: 336;M'Ghee 1862:283-284; NCH,7 November 860) Reports describing the scale and extent of destruction were coupled, in some cases, with observations of the effects it had on the perpetrators. Char acterizing the results as Vandal-like and echoing earlier characterizations of ooting, Charles Gordon spoke of the "beauty and magnificence of the palaces 38 Robert we burnt" and called it"wretchedlydemoralizing work foran army swinhoewas appalled by the "cracklingand rushing noise" of the fireas heap proached the gardens, and disturbed by the destruction of what could not be replaced (I86I: 330). Yet, hewas also struck by theway the red flames gleamed on the faces of the men and made them appearto be demons glorying in their task. The sense of pleasure that Swinhoe alludes to here was recorded by number of participants and was often connected to feelings of God of sufficiency...auction markets, the public displays did serve to fix two critical designations on the emperor's possessions The first of these was the designation "from the Summer palace of the peror of China," a phrase that has remained with the objects through future sales and on museum displays almost down to the present 29 As such, the epithet stood as a continual reminder of the British triumph over China's haughty monarch and mandarins and humiliation oftheirexaggerated sense of superiority over all foreigners. To put this another way, the presence of the emperor's things outside of his palaces placed a permanent stain on him and his empire. Moreover, the sense of debasement that British actors attached to the possession of the emperor's things was further enriched by generally held notions aboutChinese disdain for foreigners. Aswolseley remarked dur- 29. In the late 198os, it was still possible to see this designation on display tags at the Victoria and Albert and British Museums. Since then, the collection displays have been redone, and all references to the Summer Palace have disappeared. LOOT, PRIZE, AND RETRIBUTION 99 ing the sack of the palaces and the lllustrated London News reporter noted at Tuileries exhibit, the emperor's treasures were gathered in the "profane" hands and under the "sacrilegious gaze" of "barbarians" and "unappreciat ing amateurs" (Wolseley (1862 1972: 224: ILN, 13 April 186r:334, 339). Thus the transport of the Chinese emperor's possessions to Europe added another layer of humiliation to a monarch already brought low by the sacking of his palaces. Perhaps here, in the early career of Summer Place loot, we can also observe the central role that humiliation played in the construction and re production of European empire in the nineteenth century....turning to a discussion of how this pedagogical project worked itself out, however, it might be worth considering in more detail the relations among plunder, prize, and British imperial politics. PRIZE AND IMPERIAL SOVEREIGNTY Although the processes ofcollection, auction, and redistribution of proceeds might seem at first glance unnecessarily involved, their importance lay in the way they mirrored and mimicked the processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization that were transforming China's relations with European powers. Like warfare and treaties in general, prize procedures incorporated China andits politicalorderinto the regularities ofthe British Empirein Asia. In so doing, they helped to undermine Qing imperial sovereignty. Central to this process of subversion was the theft and redistribution of objects that could be tied directly to the person of the Qing emperor. objects redistrib uted in this way included his imperial robes and armor, jade scepters, throne cushions, seals, and the "Cap of the Emperor of China" (fig. 3), a carved screen "from behind the Emperor's throne," pages from the August Court's Illustrated Catalogue of Ritual Implements (Huangchao ligi tushi), which included hand-painted drawings of Court robes of emperors and empresses, and the yellow silk identified by swinhoe as exclusively fpr the emperor. There were also various objects taken from the emperor's private quarters, such as a small jade-covered book said to be the sayings of Confucius, aTibetan ritual vessel erroneously but tellingly identified as the skull of Confucius, and a Pekinese.3. The cap of the emperor of China. Source: Holmes, Naval and Military Trophies and Personal Relics of British Heroes, 896. "lion" dog christened "Looty" ; In addition to these items, a host of objects of European manufacture were also plundered, a number of which could be identified as gifts previously given to Qing emperors monarchs. These included numerous mechanical clocks and watches, one of which, as Harris reported, was supposed to be the very timepiece presented by Lord Macartney to the Qianlong emperor, the cannon that Macartney had brought as a gift from George III (Rennie 1864: 166; M'Ghee 1862: 21o; Swin- hoe 186m: 331), works of fine art like the "Petitot" acquired by Colonel Wolse- ley, and a tapestry from the French monarch Louis XIV. Some of these items, such as the emperor's cap, the "Sayings of Con- fucius," and Looty, were presented to Queen Victoria. Much like the plun dered regalia of South Asian kings that Carol Breckenridge (1989: 203) has described, they took their place with other symbols of the British monar- chy, constituting an expanded British imperial sovereignty. In other cases, pieces were deposited in the officers' mess of various of the regiments in- volved. At these sites, Qing objects were incorporated into regimental his- t4. With the exception of "Looty" and "skull of Confucius," these items are all pres- ently in collections in Great 🇬🇧.LOOT, PRIZE, AND RE BUTTON 75 This chapter seeks to use these events as a resource foraddressing several interrelated issues. The first and perhaps most important of these involves consideration of a relationship between European imperialism and colonial- ism in East Asia and in other parts of the world. One such link involves the large number of British civilian and military personnel who were active in China after having served in other parts of the empire. An additional con- nection concerns plunder in warfare and the nomenclature related to it, in particular, the word loot itself. Intimately linked to British expansion in India, loot entered the English language Hindi orsanskrit in the eighteenth century. In either its noun or verb form, it frequently replaced older English words, such as pillage. booty, spoils, and plunder. Yet, because it was firmly embedded in lexicon of empire, lootwas not, strictly speaking, interchangeablewith these terms. Insofar as it related to British imperial adventures in India, East Asia, and later, Africa, itevoked a sense of the opportunities, particularly as "prize" of war, that empire building offered to the brave and daring.2 Equally important for our purposes her the imperial lexicon Hobson- Jobson, like Lord Elgin, found the term loot entering and China between the first and secondopium Wars (Yuleand Burnell [1886] 1994: 519-520; Walrond 1872: 215). As the career of the word suggests, al though the events of r86o signaled a shift in global relations of power, the primary actor and mainbeneficiaryoff the change inChina's relations with the West was the British Empire. Although French, Russian, and U.S. diplomats and the French army played important roles in these events, it was British agents who not only led theway, but who seemed to be motivated by quite dif ferent considerations from their Euroamerican colleagues. Such differences be accounted for in a variety of ways: in terms of the personalities of individual leaders, on the basis of different national goals, and perhaps even on the basis of the historical antipathy and rivalry among the Euroamerican parties. Here, however, the focus is on the different actions of the Western powers in China as manifestations of their distinct historical trajectories in the development of European global expansion These distinctions then pro vide a way of making another kind of sense out of the looting of the Summer Palace and its destruction as a "solemn of retribution " ( Walrond 1872)

This war reporter set is one of my favorite releases from very hot, it's just so much more interesting that the other stuff out there, I'd much rather see more figures and sets like this than even more tacticool US troops,
Those are cool and all but there's so many, personally I'd love to see a good UN peacekeeper set, or just more foreign military in general, here's hoping they make some more unique sets like this one
