My entry for the Downfallrpg Senator and staff figbarf contest.
Following the death of Emperor Palpatine and the loosening of the Empires grip on the galaxy, the small world of Silla, led by its previous governor, and now senator, Bernon Morillo, seeks to join the New Republic. Hoping to bring new jobs and residents to his small and often overlooked planet, Morillo runs on a campaign of reform and freedom for his people. Having lived under the rule of the tyrannical Empire and having had a whole town kidnapped by the Empire for seeing one of its experiments (Zillo beast in Bad Batch), the people of Silla have bolstered behind Morillo in his attempt to bring them into the New Republic. From its energy independence (solar farms) and precious stone quarries suppling the wealthy of the galaxy, Silla is a planet poised to thrive under the protection of the New Republic.

- Thank you but I am not your legal brothers. I am not good enough to be your legal brother. Leave this title to someone else;
- Thank you for calling me every 2 hours and not hanging up even though we have nothing to say to each other;
- Thank you for spoiling many of my weekends and holidays. It's fun working on the same documents again and again and again.
- Thank you for testing the limit of my patience. You constantly raise my patience to a new level.
- Thank you for providing me with all the riddles I have to solve before understanding what you're saying.
Kindly accept the bananas as a token of my gratitude.

Engineers working on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have successfully folded and packed its sunshield for its upcoming million-mile (roughly 1.5 million kilometer) journey, which begins later this year.
The sunshield — a five-layer, diamond-shaped structure the size of a tennis court — was specially engineered to fold up around the two sides of the telescope and fit within the confines of its launch vehicle, the Ariane 5 rocket. Now that folding has been completed at Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, California, the sunshield will remain in this compact form through launch and the first few days the observatory will spend in space.
Designed to protect the telescope’s optics from any heat sources that could interfere with its sight, the sunshield is one of Webb’s most critical and complex components. Because Webb is an infrared telescope, its mirrors and sensors need to be kept at extremely cold temperatures to detect faint heat signals from distant objects in the universe.

I was reading Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass" when painting this one. I was struck by the second last paragraph in the book:
"The moral covenant of reciprocity calls us to honor our responsibilities for all we have been given, for all that we have taken. It’s our turn now, long overdue. Let us hold a giveaway for Mother Earth, spread our blankets out for her and pile them high with gifts of our own making. Imagine the books, the paintings, the poems, the clever machines, the compassionate acts, the transcendent ideas, the perfect tools. The fierce defense of all that has been given. Gifts of mind, hands, heart, voice, and vision all offered up on behalf of the earth. Whatever our gift, we are called to give it and to dance for the renewal of the world. In return for the privilege of breath."
So, "Dance For the Renewal of the World" seemed like an appropriate title for this painting.
A new project for Alicia who want something around my Little Red Riding Hood... So I plan to make a new variation of this theme, with a lot of assorted machine embroideries by combining some designs.
This set will include a dress, a corseted over-dress, removable puffed sleeves, a jacket, a petticoat and socks.
See you soon!

I'm thankful for Adenosine, which is shown in this molecular model. Adenosine is also known as adenine monophosphate, a substance very important to living things, including us. In the model, black spheres represent Carbon atoms, red, Oxygen, blue, Nitrogen, white, Hydrogen, yellow-orange, Phosphorus. The rods represent bonds between the atoms. The dotted lines have to do with electron location. The graphic is from en.wikipedia.org, which allows such use.
Adenosine is made of Adenine, the structure with a pentagon and a hexagon, plus extensions, on the left. Another building block of adenosine is a phosphate group, which is the Phosphorus on the right, and the surrounding four Oxygens. The rest of the model shows deoxyribose, a five-carbon sugar. This entire structure is a Nitrogen Base, and there are, as you probably know, four types of these found in DNA. The DNA molecule carries hereditary information, coded by the sequence of AT, TA, CG and GC pairs in the center of the double helix that is DNA. Adenosine and the other similar Nitrogen bases, along with phosphate and deoxyribose, a sugar, make up DNA. The photo in the background is of three girls, and was taken at a public event. I didn't ask their relationship, but am 90% sure that the one on the left, and the one on the right, are identical. That means that they have the same DNA. More commonplace, and no less amazing, is that you have the same DNA, too. That is, all but a few of your cells have the same DNA as all the other cells in your body. The hereditary information that gives the left part of your nose its shape also gives the mirror image of that shape to the right half of your nose. Your feet look alike. And so on.
Besides helping carry hereditary information, adenosine is involved in our use of energy. It does so as ATP, which is the same as the molecule modeled, except that there are two more phosphate groups, in a chain. The bonds between these groups are high-energy bonds. When we metabolize food, we take the energy of food, and store it, usually briefly, as ATP. That ATP can go anywhere in a cell, and give up its energy, as it disconnects with a phosphate group.
The ability of these atoms to form these bonds, and the properties of the molecules that result from this, is so remarkable that I believe that God designed Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Phosphorus to act like they do. I can't prove this, nor can it be disproved. Thanks for looking!

Small Sparrow (male), which I've seen near my home :)
The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae, found in most parts of the world. One of about 25 species in the genus Passer, the House Sparrow occurs naturally in most of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and much of Asia. Its intentional or accidental introductions to many regions, including parts of Australia, Africa, and the Americas, make it the most widely distributed wild bird. The House Sparrow is strongly associated with human habitations, and can live in urban or rural settings. Though found in widely varied habitats and climates, it typically avoids extensive woodlands, grasslands, and deserts away from human development. A small bird, it has a length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) and a weight of 24–39.5 grams (0.85–1.39 oz). Females and young birds are coloured pale brown and grey, and males have brighter black, white, and brown markings. The House Sparrow feeds mostly the seeds of grains and weeds, and insects, and can perform complex and unusual tasks to obtain food. The predators of the House Sparrow include domestic cats, hawks, owls, and many other predatory birds and mammals.
The House Sparrow has an extremely large range and population, and is not seriously threatened by human activities, so it is assessed as Least Concern for conservation on the IUCN Red List. However, populations have been declining in many parts of the world.

Una decina di anni fà mia moglie mi chiama dalla stanza dove stavano trasmettendo “bravo bravissimo” un programma condotto da Mike Bongiorno e così resto letteralmente a bocca aperta ascoltando per la prima volta un middle di standard interpretato da un Francesco Cafiso ancora bambino, recentemente ho avuto la fortuna di conoscerlo personalmente e di fotografarlo, la cosa che mi colpisce, oltre il talento, è che quando sale sul palco con il suo sax avviene come una metamorfosi ed escono note piene di forza ed energia creativa.
In questa immagine ho cercato di incidere sul sensore della mia reflex questa sua forza giocando con lo zoom in ripresa!

Okay, so for this week I used a disposable camera to take pictures while I was working with inner city kids in Cincinnati. This isn't what you guys are probably used to from me, I am definitely not a journalistic photographer. Really I just spent my time enjoying myself and letting the kids have a good time. This collage is just intended to show my week. All of these were taken by me except for the two of me. I promise more photos this next week, because I'm actually in town.

Thank you Isaac and Ryan for your kind donations and making both this kid (me) as well as other kids very happy this holiday season :)
Over the past year I have been incredibly lucky to cross off many LEGO "must dos" off my bucket list, and one of them was to partake in Creations for Charity - both as a donor (1) (2) and as a purchaser.
Going into the purchase phase I was out to get what I would consider 'iconic' builds of my favorite builders I was very lucky that Ryan put up his crate, it might not have been his most iconic build, but it's iconic to me - as I believe that was the first ever build I saw of his...
And well ... I kinda twisted Isaac's arm to give up one of his prized Firetrucks (And yes you can still borrow this for shows...)
Cheers guys.
This is for the youngest grandson of a friend of mine ...... the design is based on the animals on the baby's playmat which, judging by your reaction to the picture I posted earlier of the toppers, seems to be available world-wide !! LOL

Felix's Granny made the cakes and when I got back from setting up the wedding cake yesterday, I collected them, buttercreamed and decorated them so that they could be taken to London yesterday afternoon ready for the Christening today !!!
I was very pleased with the cases I found for these ..... not only were they the perfect colours but they actually kept their colour during cooking !
The little giraffe is made of Artista Soft, as you know, so he can be kept along with the balloon topper I made for the Christening of Felix's brother Rory.

Not for image quality - I was photographing in the other direction, where the light was ideal from the car window, when I turned and looked back to see this unique sight. I quickly changed direction and took a few shots of this "cute coot" feeding a yellow slider. I would have loved to back up the car to get a better vantage point, but thought I might miss this photo op. I had already missed a panther trying to get a lower perspective :(

This was the highlight and reason for my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024. This is stage 8 of 9.
I was lucky to secure permits for the once monthly photography tour of Kartchner Caverns. Kartchner Caverns State Park strictly forbids any cameras or cellphones in the Caverns. Except for one trip per month for 12 to 15 photographers currently $125. I planned a 4 day 3 night road trip around Southern Arizona anchored by my Kartchner Cavern permit.
I was expecting dark conditions. The State Park turned on all the lights in the Big Room. They don't like turning on all the lights since can cause an increase in algae. This is the reason they only have one photography tour a month.
I found myself adjusting my histograms to not clip the highlights. Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome. Next time I am going to bracket my shots. I almost wish I had brought a ND filter or tried a handheld GND filter.
I don't know speleothems so I won't even try to identify. If anyone can help me with the identification, I will appreciate it.
www.nps.gov/subjects/caves/speleothems.htm#:~:text=The%20...)%20when%20needed.
The features that arouse the greatest curiosity for most cave visitors are speleothems. These stone formations exhibit bizarre patterns and other-worldly forms, which give some caves a wonderland appearance. Caves vary widely in their displays of speleothems because of differences in temperature; overall wetness; and jointing, impurities, and structures in the rocks. In general, however, one thing caves do have in common is where speleothems form. Although the formation of caves typically takes place below the water table in the zone of saturation, the deposition of speleothems is not possible until caves are above the water table in the zone of aeration. As soon as the chamber is filled with air, the stage is set for the decoration phase of cave building to begin.
The term speleothem refers to the mode of occurrence of a mineral—i.e., its morphology or how it looks—in a cave, not its composition (Hill, 1997). For example, calcite, the most common cave mineral, is not a speleothem, but a calcite stalactite is a speleothem. A stalactite may be made of other minerals, such as halite or gypsum.
Classifying speleothems is tricky because no two speleothems are exactly alike. Nevertheless, speleologists have taken three basic approaches: classification by morphology, classification by origin, and classification by crystallography. All three of these approaches have their problems (Hill, 1997), so cavers often take a more practical approach that primarily uses morphology (e.g., cave pearls) but includes whatever is known about origin (e.g., geysermites) and crystallography (e.g., spar) when needed.

The Kartchner Caverns, rated one of the world's 10 most beautiful caves, is an eerie wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites still growing beneath the Whetstone Mountains 40 miles southeast of Tucson.
The limestone cave has 13,000 feet of passages and hundreds of formations built over the past 200,000 years, including some that are unique and world-renowned. It's a "living cave," with intricate formations that continue to grow as water seeps, drips and flows from the walls and slowly deposits the mineral calcium carbonate.
The caverns were discovered by amateur spelunkers Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen in 1974 on land owned by the Kartchner family. They kept the cave a secret until 1988, when the Kartchners sold it to the state to become a state park.
The highlights of the Big Room tour are a stretch of strawberry flowstone, which has been colored red by iron oxide (rust) in the water, and a maternity ward for 1,800 female cave myotis bats, with black grime on the ceiling where the bats hang and piles of guano on the floor. Visitors who look closely will see a bat's body embedded in one of the cave's formations.
Though not all are available on the tours, the caverns' unique features include a 21-foot, 2-inch soda straw that's one the world's largest (Throne Room), the world's most extensive formation of brushite moonmilk (Big Room), the first reported occurrence of "turnip" shields (Big Room), the first cave occurrence of "birdsnest" needle quartz formations (Big Room) and the remains of a Shasta ground sloth from the Pleistocene Age (Big Room).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartchner_Caverns_State_Park
Kartchner Caverns State Park is a state park of Arizona, United States, featuring a show cave with 2.4 miles (3.9 km) of passages.[1] The park is located 9 miles (14 km) south of the town of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River. Long hidden from view, the caverns were discovered in 1974 by local cavers, assisted by state biologist Erick Campbell who helped in its preservation.
The park encompasses most of a down-dropped block of Palaeozoic rocks on the east flank of the Whetstone Mountains.
The caverns are carved out of limestone and filled with spectacular speleothems which have been growing for 50,000 years or longer, and are still growing. Careful and technical cave state park development and maintenance, initially established by founder Dr. Bruce Randall "Randy" Tufts, geologist, were designed to protect and preserve the cave system throughout the park's development, and for perpetuity.[3]
The two major features of the caverns accessible to the public are the Throne Room and the Big Room. The Throne Room contains one of the world's longest (21 ft 2 in (6.45 m))[5] soda straw stalactites and a 58-foot (18 m) high column called Kubla Khan, after the poem. The Big Room contains the world's most extensive formation of brushite moonmilk. Big Room cave tours are closed during the summer for several months (April 15 to October 15) each year because it is a nursery roost for cave bats, however the Throne Room tours remain open year-round.[8]
Other features publicly accessible within the caverns include Mud Flats, Rotunda Room, Strawberry Room, and Cul-de-sac Passage. Approximately 60% of the cave system is not open to the public.[9]
Many different cave formations can be found within the caves and the surrounding park. These include cave bacon, helictites, soda straws, stalactites, stalagmites and others.[12] Cave formations like the stalactites and stalagmites grow approximately a 16th of an inch every 100 years.[13]
Haiku thoughts:
Beneath earth's cool veil,
Stalactites in silence grow,
Whispers of stone deep.

we had some more pool and sprinkler fun yesterday evening ... it's the goober's favorite part of summer.
bummed that i missed last week's photo ... just swamped getting ready for Woofstock and then got home so late Sunday ...
I’m getting ready for some off-road adventuring and I want to take a “solid” doll to play in the mud so I’ve been holding “auditions.” I was playing around doing a few tests to see how quickly I can pose some dolls while getting them to stand and balance on their own without aid. Finally get Both dolls standing on their own AND almost touching each other... and CAT!
I have no idea how she didn’t knock those dolls down, they even stayed standing after she left!
Setting them up if I even BREATHED near the desk one or the other would start to tip over.

Although “The Children’s Party Book” shows illustrations of very young children, the suggested activities for the Hallowe’en party games seems to be particularly aimed at matching the boys and girls as if they are older. And I know that dancing was a party activity for the rather young once, but still…..Here are some excerpts:
GRAB BAG
Into a large bag put a little bag for each girl present. In these little bags are small articles that will determine the occupation of the girls’ future husbands. A bottle of medicine (druggist), a pen (author), a hammer (carpenter), scissors and spool (tailor), and so on.
MORE FORTUNE TELLING
In a tub of water launch little half walnut shell boats, each one with the name of a boy or girl written on it. Stand in the center of each boat a tiny lighted candle. If two boats float together, those persons surely will marry. If the lights burn brightly their lives will be happy and unadventurous. [How they kept this purely heterosexual, I cannot say]
INVISIBLE SURPRISES
Give each one an orange envelope which must not be opened until quite late. The paper inside seems blank but when held over a candle, the surprises, which are written in lemon juice, become readable. Something like the following will be found lots of fun--written with lemon juice instead of ink.
“In the front room two steps to the right
Your lover waits for you tonight.”
(The lover is a man cut from a fashion advertisement.) [Somehow I cannot feature the girls above getting excited about a "lover"]
And so on. You can think of ever so many funny things to say--something that will “suit” for each of you guests.
The Children’s Party Book, by Marion Jane Parker; recipes by Helen Harrington Downing, and illustrations by Frances Tipton Hunter. Published 1923 by Rogers & Company, Inc. “Here you will find party games for every holiday and birthdays as well…and…A party is never complete without a dainty lunch.”
