Yeah, I'm exploiting his cuteness factor. Competing in Flickr 64 (formerly known as March Madness) against the oober talented Shelby and Maria. We're in round three, and have had more fun this week than we can all remember when! Wish him (and me) luck!
Jack Crawford is celebrated as a hero on Wearside for his exploits at a famous battle. Crawford was born in the East End of Sunderland and, as a youngster, worked as a keelman until 1786 when he joined the crew of the 'Peggy' at South Shields as an apprentice. It is worth bearing in mind that at this point, he was still only 12 years old!
In 1796, he was press-ganged into the Royal Navy and served on HMS Venerable under Admiral Duncan, the Royal Navy Commander-in-Chief of the North Seas.
It was Jack Crawford's actions at the Battle of Camperdown (11 October 1797) that would eventually establish him as a legend.
During the battle, part of the HMS Venerable's mast was shot down and with it, the admiral's flag. Despite being under intense gunfire, Crawford climbed the mast and nailed the colours to the top of what was left of the mast.
Later, at a victory procession in London, he was formally presented to the King and was given a government pension of £30 a year. He later received a silver medal from the people of Sunderland.
Unfortunately in later life, Jack Crawford fell on hard times. He liked a drink or two and was regularly in a state of drunkenness. Eventually, he ended up selling his medal.
Tragically, he became the second victim of the cholera epidemic of 1831 and ended up buried in an unmarked pauper's grave.
It was some years after Crawford had died, that interest in the so-called 'Hero of Camperdown' was re-kindled after a play about his life went on tour. Crawford's un-marked grave ended having a memorial headstone be-fitting a hero, not to mention a separate memorial in nearby Mowbray Park that was paid for by public donations.
The after effects of war. Children replace parents who are either incapacitated or dead due to the collateral damage caused by the pursuit of ridiculous agendas. Exploitive capitalism doesn’t help either.

C’est l’arrivée de Mathieu Van Roggen, venu de Hollande, qui a dynamisé vers 1880 les CARRIÈRES DE SPRIMONT. Il les a rendues pleinement performantes par la rationalisation de l’exploitation et la modernisation de l’outil. La grande centrale électrique de 1904, devenue “Musée de la pierre”, en est le remarquable témoin. Par la suite, le groupe Merbes-Sprimont gère les propriétés jusqu’à la reprise en 1984 par la famille Brancaleoni.
Plusieurs sites sont actuellement en exploitation. La réputation de qualité de ces gisements est depuis longtemps établie et
les références de prestige en sont fort nombreuses, depuis la Grand’ Poste de Liège et le pont de Fragnée vers 1900, jusqu’au
nouveau pont haubané du Val-Benoît en 2000.
Importante capacité de production et souplesse de gestion sont les atouts premiers de l’entreprise sprimontoise.
Cette carrière de petit granit consiste en une excavation allongée, partiellement occupée par la 'décharge de classe III du Fond de Correux'. L'activité extractive a encore lieu dans la partie médiane et un grand atelier de taille est installé vers la route. Le secteur occidental, actuellement désaffecté, et les abords supérieurs de la fosse présentent toutefois un intérêt biologique: reproduction du crapaud accoucheur et du lézard des murailles; flanc nord incliné colonisé par une végétation des substrats calcaires (e.a. Catapodium rigidum, Crepis foetida, Teucrium botrys); présence de la fougère Gymnocarpium robertianum.
It was the arrival of Mathieu Van Roggen, from Holland, who revitalised the CARRIÈRES DE SPRIMONT around 1880. He made them fully efficient by rationalising the operation and modernising the tool. The large power station of 1904, which became the “Stone Museum”, is a remarkable example of this. Subsequently, the Merbes-Sprimont group managed the properties until the Brancaleoni family took them over in 1984.
Several sites are currently in operation. The reputation for quality of these deposits has long been established and
their prestigious references are numerous, from the Grand’ Poste in Liège and the Fragnée bridge around 1900, to the
new cable-stayed bridge at Val-Benoît in 2000.
Significant production capacity and management flexibility are the primary assets of the Sprimont company.
This small granite quarry consists of an elongated excavation, partially occupied by the 'class III dump of Fond de Correux'. Extractive activity still takes place in the middle part and a large cutting workshop is installed towards the road. The western sector, currently disused, and the upper edges of the pit are nevertheless of biological interest: reproduction of the midwife toad and the wall lizard; inclined northern flank colonized by vegetation of calcareous substrates (e.g. Catapodium rigidum, Crepis foetida, Teucrium botrys); presence of the fern Gymnocarpium robertianum.

“There are three kinds of violence. The first, mother of all the others, is institutional violence, that which legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression and exploitation, that which crushes and laminates millions of men in its silent and well-oiled wheels.
The second is revolutionary violence, which arises from the desire to abolish the first.
The third is repressive violence, the object of which is to stifle the second by making itself the auxiliary and the accomplice of the first violence, that which engenders all the others.
There is no worse hypocrisy to call violence only the second, while pretending to forget the first, which gives birth to it, and the third which kills it. »
Don Helder Camara (February 7, 1909 – August 27, 1999)
I debated myself about sharing this picture. You can't get much more exploitive than shooting a picture of a sleeping homeless person. Yet I find this picture compelling. I don't feel it's disrespectful. I'm sure some will disagree with me and I'm Ok with that.

Questa e' l'unica isola del Lago d'Orta, ospita un monastero di clausura, e fin dal Medioevo i religiosi di quest'isola avevano ampissimi possedimenti anche sulle zone montuose dalla Valsesia, tante' che per farli rendere, favorirono intorno al 1200 l'insediamento delle popolazioni Walser; tuttora in queste vallate si parla il loro dialetto tedesco. - This is Orta Island, the only one in the Orta lake; actually there still is a monastery; in the middle age the property of the monastery include also some area in the middle mountains of Valsesia; in order to exploit these properties, the monks encouraged the immigration of the Walser, a German origin population; still now in Valsesia the inhabitants speak a dialect of german origin.
Woodland in the winter. Not something I've particularly worked at before. Much exploited over the last year or so, so I thought I'd give it a go. Difficult to put an individual stamp on, but I guess I have to start somewhere. There'll be a few to come, so it'll be interesting to see what response they get. I do get the attraction of doing woodland, as it's generally very accessible locally, and there's a lot to go at. To be honest, I enjoyed the day just wandering about, and will be doing a bit more while we have the conditions we have at the moment. I hope to be able to get out when there's frost and mists to go at. The latter illuded me somehow this weekend, as the locations I went to weren't particularly misty!

A deposit of copper bearing ore 14km southeast of Duchess at Trekelano was exploited by the Hampden Co for use at its Kuridala smelter. The ore body was one of the richer ones in the Cloncurry area, averaging around 13% copper and lesser amount of silver and gold. Trekelano ore was particularly valuable as a smelting aid.
The deposit was first worked in about 1906 in a small way, mostly for development work, and gradually increased its output of economical volumes by 1915. In time, the mine was equipped with a semi-marine type Babcock & Wilcox boiler, a Walker geared winding engine, Fraser & Chambers compressor, electric light from a 40hp Hornsby gas engine and wood producer, a picking plant, and ore bins. Narrow gauge tramways were used to move the ore to the dumps to the loading state and to fart firewood to the boiler house. Associated facilities were a change room, an engine room, a boiler shed, magazines, offices, stores, and staff quarters. At its peak, the mine employed 60 men. A school and post office were provided from 1918 and these remained viable until 1928.
When the railway was extended from Malbon to Duchess, the company began sending Trekelano ore to Duchess using a traction engine and wagons. This arrangement was not satisfactory in the long term so as soon as the railway was extended from Duchess to Dajarra, the company immediately took steps to lay a connecting tramway. The link was 12.3km in length.
The line was funded and built by the company under the Tramways Act. Engineering specifications were based on QR standards but were more economical in regard to the road bed and ballasting. The company sourced the rails and sleepers from QR and secured them on time payment based on a rebate from a premium placed on every ton carried. The company also paid the line maintenance fees.
Construction commenced on the 10th of September 1917 some 7.5km from Duchess at 553 miles and 21 chains, later known as Juenburra. Accommodation comprised a loop siding on the left from which was laid the branch proper which consisted of a curve to the southeast where another loop was placed on the right. From here the line continued southeast to the mine, which was 130 rail kilometres from Cloncurry.
A passenger service was offered but it was minimally supported because the Trekelano community had a road coach service to Duchess station. The coach departed Duchess at 7am on Monday and Friday for a same day return. Passenger rail journeys were around 200 per year to 1921 and then tailed off to virtually nothing, ceasing altogether soon after.
From 1941 the train day became a Monday and was worked by the Cloncurry-Dajarra-Cloncurry weekly mixed running on a Sunday-Monday overnight rest schedule. Ore loadings had dropped by half at this time to around 3500 tons due to shortages of labour and machinery spare parts. One train a week sufficed. Loadings diminished even further to less then 2000 tons by 1943. The mine closed that year and the train service ceased at this time. A small community remained until the end, and this included several school aged children who were driven to Duchess each day for their education.
The mine owners retired to the coast and after the war put the mine and tramway on the market. There were no takers for the assets as a going concern so the plant was sold for scrap. The rails were purchased by the North Eton Sugar Mill and were removed by 1947. The telephone pole line was dismantled at the same time. The sleepers had no value and were left in situ. The official closure of the tramway is the 14th of May 1947.
The original Trekelano mine produced 220 000 tons of ore over its lifetime to yield 20 000 tons of copper and 3000 oz of gold. In the 1990s the site was gone over by the drivers of Mineral Commodities NL to locate and estimated 400 000 tonnes of 2.2% copper and 0.6 grams/tonne of gold. The deposit was reopened in 2005 by Osborne Mines and worked as a massive pit, this development swallowing the remains of the original mine and tramway. The Trekelano ore was carted to a concentrating plant at Mount Osborne, south of Selwyn, and the treated ore despatched by rail through to Phosphate Hill.
The mine is no longer in use.

Now, it is time for the horse-drawn carriages of Victoria to be banned for the inhumane practice of forcing horses to wade through city streets and endangering public safety.
This is animal exploitation, plain and simple. Every time we go out into the community to raise awareness and challenge this industry we meet concerned citizens who agree, horse-drawn carriages in Victoria need to end. For the horses and for all of us.

A Montsoreau, entre Saumur et Chinon, dans le Val de Loire, le Saut aux Loups est un site troglo à flanc de coteau dominant la Loire. Occupé depuis la nuit des temps par l’homme, les loups aussi y élurent domicile...
Du moyen-âge à la fin de XIX siècle une mine d’extraction du tuffeau y fut exploitée intensivement pour l’édification des châteaux et églises de la région.
Des kilomètres de galeries furent ainsi creusés tandis que plusieurs habitations troglodytiques étaient bâties.
Elles sont aujourd’hui préservées dans leur état d’origine et servent de cadre à notre restaurant troglodyte.
C’est à la fin du XIX siècle, l’exploitation du tuffeau ayant cessé, que ces vastes galeries ont été converties en cave à champignons ou champignonnière.
Les visiteurs peuvent découvrir les différentes étapes de la culture des champignons dans ce site hors du commun.
In Montsoreau, between Saumur and Chinon, in the Loire Valley, the Jumping Wolves is a troglodyte site on the hillside overlooking the Loire. Busy since time immemorial by the man, the wolves also took up residence there ...
From the Middle Ages to the end of the 19th century, a tufa extraction mine was exploited intensively for the construction of the castles and churches of the region.
Miles of galleries were dug while several troglodyte dwellings were built.
They are now preserved in their original state and serve as a frame for our troglodyte restaurant.
At the end of the 19th century, the exploitation of the tuffeau having ceased, these vast galleries were converted into a mushroom or mushroom cellar.
Visitors can discover the different stages of mushroom cultivation in this extraordinary site.

Una canción acompañada de un fotografía, la canción lo dice todo.
Pero cuando todo está oscuro y estás al borde del abismo, una luz da esperanza.
Hontoria de la Cantera es un agradable pueblecillo burgalés de aproximadamente 125 habitantes situado a apenas 20 kilómetros de la capital.
Su nombre le viene de unas impresionantes canteras que se explotaban ya en el siglo XI y de las que salieron las piedras necesarias para construir la Catedral de Burgos, una de las obras maestras del gótico.
La explotación de la mina se hacía excavando la montaña mediante el método de cámaras y pilares, por lo que quedaron enormes espacios de 20 metros de ancho y 5 de alto, ideales para proteger armamento, por lo que fueron usadas de polvorín por el ejército.
A song accompanied by a photograph, the song says it all.
But when all is dark and you're on the edge, a light gives hope.
Hontoria de la Cantera is a pleasant little town of Burgos of about 125 inhabitants, situated just 20 kilometers from the capital.
Its name comes from an impressive quarries were exploited as early as the eleventh century and of which came the stone needed to build the Cathedral of Burgos, one of the masterpieces of Gothic.
The Exploitation of the mine was digging up the mountain by room and pillar method, which left huge spaces of 20 meters wide and 5 high, ideal for protecting weapons, so they were used in the army depot.

Marine reserves constitute a specific measure that contributes to achieving a sustained exploitation of resources of fishing interest, establishing specific protection measures in delimited areas of traditional fishing grounds.
The effect of a marine reserve is manifested by a significant recovery of the fishing grounds in which it is inserted due to the dispersion of the species whose reproduction has been protected in it.
The seabed of the Isla Hormigas Cabo de Palos Marine Reserve is in incredible health, in this area artisanal fishing coexists with the recreational activity of recreational diving, both are compatible and the result is that divers can enjoy the best diving in the Mediterranean and one of the best in the world and fishermen benefit from a very abundant fishing ground.
There are 12 Marine Reserves in Spain and there should be more. In this photo we can see two of the most characteristic specimens of the area, the Goldblotch grouper and the Dusky grouper.

Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals.
This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range.
