This is the external structure of a cilliate, likey a paramecium. It was negative stained using Nigrosin to reveal the pelical external structure. The peristome is at the upper right.
A culture rich in ciliates was applied to a microscope slide and 1 drop of 2 % Nigrosin in water was added. The drop was smeared across 2/3 of the slide and let to dry. As the water evaporates, the stain concentrates and most of the ciliates are found in the more concentrated end of the smear.
Imaged using an Olympus BHS with a NEO SPlan 50 NIC objective and using a Sony A7S. This is a metallurgical objective and thus well suited for use without a coverglass.
The impressive mammisi at Dendera dating mainly to the Roman period. Much of the rich external carving was never finished, but on the south side it is fairly complete and in good condition (aside from the defaced Bes figures above the capitals).
The Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt's best preserved and most beautiful ancient shrines. This magnificent edifice dates to the Ptolemaic period, late in Egyptian history, though the site long had been the cult centre for the goddess Hathor for centuries before (the earliest extant remains date to c360BC but a temple is recorded here as far back as c2250BC). Most of the main building dates to the reigns of the last Cleopatras and further decoration and building work within the complex continued in the Roman period up to the reign of Trajan.
The dominant structure in the complex is the Temple of Hathor, an enormous structure with a rectangular facade punctuated by the Hathor-headed columns of the hypostyle hall within. This hall is an architectural wonder, a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian design and decoration, which covers every surface and has been recently cleaned, revealing a superb astrological ceiling in all its original vibrant colours.
Sadly there was much iconoclasm here during the early Christian period and most of the reliefs of the walls and pillars have been defaced. Worse still is the damage to the 24 Hathor-head capitals: not one of the nearly a hundred huge faces of the goddess that once smiled down on this hall has been left unblemished, most with their features cruelly chiselled away.
The main temple building is otherwise structurally intact, and extends into further halls and chapels beyond, again with much relief decoration (much of which is again defaced). In one corner is an entrance to a crypt below, an unusual feature in Egyptian temple architecture consisting of several narrow passages adorned with carved relief decoration in good condition.
There are further sanctuaries and chapels above on the roof of the temple, accessed by a decorated staircase and including the room where the famous Dendera Zodiac was formerly located (today its place in the ceiling taken by a cast of the original, now displayed in Paris). The highest part of the roof complex is no longer accessible to tourists, but I can still recall making the ascent there on our first visit in 1992.
Several other buildings surround the main temple, the most impressive of which is the mammisi or 'birth-house'. This consists of a large rectangluar hall surrounded by a colonnade near the entrance to the site and has some well preserved relief decoration on its exterior. Most of this structure dates to the Roman period, but the ruins of its predecessor built under Nectanebo II (Egypt's last native pharoah) stand nearby.
Dendera temple is one of the most rewarding in Egypt and shouldn't be missed. It is one of the most complete and evocative ancient monuments in the country and its recent restoration has revealed a surprisingly extensive amount of colour surviving within (we were amazed by the dramatic contrast with the soot-blackened ceiling we'd beheld on our previous visit in the 1990s). Despite its relative youth (in Egyptian terms at least!) it is easily one of my favourite sites in Egypt.
Mac Mini, external HDD and 20" TFT monitor
My mac is actually getting a bit old now, being a G4 1.25GHz. (Maybe I'll replace it sometime this spring.) I have now bought a Macbook! Pictures might show up later.
Love the Mac Mini concept.
To inspire others toward conserving wildlife resources, at risk species, and habitats, nothing is more compelling than a good story— especially when that story is easily accessible on the web. Dan Chapman, Mark Davis, Roy Hewitt and Phil Kloer have demonstrated their excellence in telling Southeast Region stories that have inspired the public on conservation issues ranging from the impacts of three hurricanes to the value of collaborative conservation that balances wildlife needs with the ability to use lands for economic benefit.
Giving their stories and photos a home on an attractively redesigned website and a new website section called Nature’s Good
Neighbors has helped, too, with analytics showing a 28.5 percent increase in Southeast Region page-views over a nine-month period in 2018. Also, many third-party organizations are republishing stories from the region in their own publications. These organizations include state wildlife agencies, local news organizations, commercial blogs, and industry trade groups, which brings our story to a wider audience.

These inspections are a yearly routine for the SHL, which operates under Mexican regulations for laboratories that apply quarantine procedures on imported seed and carry out seed testing to obtain the International Phytosanitary Certificate for exported seed. CIMMYT works in close cooperation with the Mexican authorities in ensuring the highest standards of seed health.

Dutch Comic Con 2016 X-mas edition, Cosplay
Due to bad lighting, still have to figure out how to work with my external flitser and do portraits... the photo's are OK, but not great...
It gives a nice impression of the cosplay on this con :)
Neste momento, eu sou a pessoa mais chateada, irritada, decepcionada e perdida neste mundo. Eu perdi todas as minhas fotos. TODOS ELAS. Com dois meses de uso (DOIS MESES DE USO!!!), meu HD externo da Seagate simplesmente parou de funcionar. Seu motor foi queimado, e levou com ele todas as minhas fotos. O fabricante não tem suporte aqui no Brasil, e eu vou ter que pagar US $ 1.500 (cerca de US $ 800) para talvez ter minhas fotos de volta, sendo que na Europa, a marca possui assistência e até um laboratório proprio que faz a recuperação de possiveis arquivos perdidos de GRAÇA para HD's Externos ainda na garantia. Então eu peço que você não confia esta marca. Realmente. Eu não quero que ninguém passe pelo que eu estou passando agora

Right now, I am the person most upset, angry, disappointed and lost in this world. I just lost ALL my pictures. THEY ALL. With two months of use, my external hd Seagate simply stopped working. Its engine was burnt, and took with him all my photos. The manufacturer does not have support here in Brazil, and I'll have to pay $ 1,500 (about $ 800) to MAYBE get my photos back. So I ask that you do not trust this brand. Really. I do not want anyone to go through what I'm going through now.

Finally got around to getting myself an external harddrive and am backing up all my pictures since I owned my first digital camera ( in the year 2000, a 2MP Nikon Camera )
Apparently that's the thing i the white box. Probably Waterloo Underground Station, Jubilee Line. Feb 2016.
