In response to the Congressional budget debacle which proved that DC is but a colony -- prone to being singled out unlike any other city in the country -- a number of activists, elected officials, and general citizens came out in force upon the grounds of Capitol Hill.
The crowd first formed on the sidewalk, but after some opening remarks by elected officials and activists: they quickly spilled into the street. The Capitol Police had been on hand & I'd thought it amusing that a couple were taking photos & videos... it wasn't until I saw the wristbands come out when I realised these weren't officers enjoying the moment; they were recording evidence.
With many minutes of warning, large portions of the group shifted over the sidewalk; whilst a core of dedicated supporters -- including our Mayor, a number of councilmembers, and members of DC Vote -- remained behind to block the roadway. The officers began to surround the group & repeated their warnings to get back on the sidewalk or face arrest.
Now in all fairness to the Capitol Police: they were doing their job. They were quite courteous about it & the protest was similarly jubilant right back. One woman was first to be bound, soon followed by several other activists. Then came Muriel Bowser: first councilmember to be arrested.
In general, I tend to dislike political grandstanding... but this was different. If our council was being arrested by our own police, I'd think it a cheesy photo op... but now our locally-elected officials were being arrested by the very forces we were out to protest: the Feds. This wasn't a mere photo op arrest; this was actually a legitimate arrest... the kind of thing that goes on your record; the kind of thing you spent a night in jail for.
Now granted, I don't expect anyone will be in jail longer than tomorrow; I'd be surprised if any were still locked up by midnight tonight. But it was Councilmember Bowser's arrest which really hit a moment... you could see the look on her face was of some worried concern: someone who had never been arrested before & didn't show up here today expecting to be arrested. As she was placed into the police van: her look of concern changed to a bit more worry. I mean this as no knock against Councilmember Bowser's committment; rather I felt it really help to humanise the entire event. It made me respect her all the more.
Yvette Alexander stood right beside us for quite some time, complicated in that she didn't have her ID on her. While it was entertaining to see our top officials being frisked, it was also quite entertaining that our easily-recognisable councilmember needed her ID... prompting a standerby to call one of her staffers with the best introduction I've ever heard over a phone: "Hi, your councilmember has been arrested." Also, kudos to Councilmember Alexander for going to jail in high heels!
There is a lot I can complain about with the council in general; and certainly with individual councilmembers & even the mayor. Heck, that's what politicians are for: you're not supposed to always like them. But this was an opportunity to set aside some of those issues (frankly, I'd say DC was glad to have a unifying moment after the past couple weeks) and cheer on our own brothers & sisters as they stood up in support of our rights.
It was certainly a proud moment to be a DC resident and a fine boost to our collective esteem after several weeks of turmoil within our local & federal levels of government. It's aggravating that my support for small & local government is inhibited by those in Congress whom advocate small & local government. If I wanted to live in a colony, I'd have moved to Williamsburg.
A patrolman explains his motorcycle to a curious onlooker during an educational fair at the Brentwood Mall in the 1960s. Formed in 1958, the Department of Highways Traffic Patrol was responsible for traffic control on five major lower mainland bridges – First Narrows (Lions Gate), Second Narrows (Ironworkers Memorial), Oak Street Bridge, George Massey Tunnel, Port Mann Bridge and all their approaches.
During the 1950s, British Columbia was undergoing an incredible post war boom. New highways infrastructure projects (bridges and freeways) were being built at a rapid pace, automobiles were everywhere, and cell phones and the internet were light years away. Motorists often needed help at the roadside and the Department of Highways Traffic Patrol was there to help.

Exquisite statue of Achilles in Hyde Park London.
Just look at the form, proportion, detail, angularity, muscularity and readines of Achilles. What an astonishing achievement for Richard Westmacott, the sculptor and artist, to produce such a wonderful and fascinating piece of work.. Is there a sculpture/statue "more perfect" than this piece? It is phenomenal.
A bit of history. Achilles is one of the only two people described as god-like; in the Iliad. In the Trojan War Achilles killed many of the Trojans. He also defeated Memnon of Ethiopia, Cycnus of Colonae and the Amazonian warrior Penthesilia (with whom Achilles also had an affair in some versions).
But as predicted by Hector with his dying breath, Achilles was thereafter killed by Paris — either by an arrow to the heel, or in an older version by a knife to the back while visiting Polyxena, a Trojan princess.
The sculptor Richard Westmacott studied under his father, Richard Westmacott the Elder, before going to Rome in 1793 to become a pupil of Canova. He achieved rapid success, and in 1797 was able to return to England and set up his own studio.
He showed for work at the RA from that year through until 1839, and became ARA in 1805 and RA in 1811. He was Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy from 1827 (after Flaxman), and was knighted in 1837. His studio was said to be the largest establishment of any sculptor bar that of Chantrey.
A deep blue sky behind this statue would have added to the fascination.

GRAIN DRIERS www.tecodryer.com
Working Principle
Fan aspirates air into combustion room through shutters and forms a controlled mixture with the gas coming from installation.
This mixture is burned by the burner. The heat formed advances along combusTİon room with the help of burner fan and upper aspirating fan and passes through transiTİon channel and is transmitted to air channels of product chamber.
Thereby heat is transferred to product and some of heated air is extracted in a controlled manner and remaining heated air enters the system again and is mixed with the atmosphere air received from cooling shutters.
Air is irculated along the system in order to reduce its humidity (saturation). Humidity of the product within this loop is reduced to desired humidity ratio and then product asses from unloading mechanism to hopper and exits the system.
Grain which is equal to the amount of product leaving the system is added to system with the help of sensors. It is prevented that heat goes toflow pipe through transition connection by means of this adding process.
General Specifacition
1.) It has galvanized and thoroughly fixed strong base structure.
2.) It allow to work easily under different products and product conditions thanks to grain intake system.
3.) Interior roof and supports ensure that humidifiedgrain passes through chamber as granulated.
4.) Turbulent air circulation is avoided thanks to low static pressure and homogenous heat dissipation.
5.) In emergency situations, machine's burning system is closed thanks to heat sensors.
6.) Temperature values is increased to maximum value from nominal by means of air mixer.
7.) Burners keep temperatures needed fixed continuously.
8.) Burner system consists of Elster Krom Schröder or Dungs brand high-safe devices.
9.) Burner system is worked by using fuels like LPG, LNG (in gas phase) and NG
10.) Grain within chambers is kept under control with emergency unloading covers.
11.) Grain storing chamber is automatic controlled and it controls feeder elevator and provides electric saving.
12.) It keeps the product within chamber without loss thanks to unloading which is made invariable by pneumatic system and desired unloading time is adjusted by means of timing mechanism.
13.) It is ensured that fans are protected from external conditions with the fan shutters fixed by
pneumatic system.
14.) High capacity fans are covered by metal sheets, black sheets and coated with static paint and burners are covered with stainless and galvanized metal sheets. Doors and covers opened into these
sections allow easy intervention.
15.) Heat loss is reduced to minimum thanks to external heat-insulation.
16.) Whole heat flow, air flow and temperature values within the system are reached and adjusted
with the Siemens control panels (PLC).

Kīlauea is a shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi. Located along the southern shore of the island, the volcano, at 300,000 to 600,000 years old, is the second youngest product of the Hawaiian hotspot and the current eruptive center of the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain. Because it lacks topographic prominence and its activities historically coincided with those of Mauna Loa, Kīlauea was once thought to be a satellite of its much larger neighbor. Structurally, Kīlauea has a large, fairly recently formed caldera at its summit and two active rift zones, one extending 125 km (78 mi) east and the other 35 km (22 mi) west, as an active fault line of unknown depth moving vertically an average of 2 to 20 mm (0.1 to 0.8 in) per year.
Kīlauea's eruptive history has been a long and active one; its name means "spewing" or "much spreading" in the Hawaiian language, referring to its frequent outpouring of lava.
Kīlauea's current eruption dates back to January 3, 1983, and is by far its longest-lived historical period of activity, as well as one of the longest-lived eruptions in the world; as of January 2011, the eruption has produced 3.5 cubic kilometres (0.84 cu mi) of lava and resurfaced 123.2 km2 (48 sq mi) of land.
Kīlauea's high state of activity has a major impact on its mountainside ecology where plant growth is often interrupted by fresh tephra and drifting volcanic sulfur dioxide, producing acid rains particularly in a barren area south of its southwestern rift zone known as the Kaʻū Desert. Nonetheless, wildlife flourishes where left undisturbed elsewhere on the volcano and is highly endemic thanks to Kīlauea's (and the island of Hawaiʻi's) isolation from the nearest landmass. Historically, the five volcanoes on the island were considered sacred by the Hawaiian people, and in Hawaiian mythology Kīlauea's Halemaumau Crater served as the body and home of Pele, goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes. William Ellis, a missionary from England, gave the first modern account of Kīlauea and spent two weeks traveling along the volcano; since its foundation by Thomas Jagger in 1912, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, located at Kīlauean caldera rim, has served as the principal investigative and scientific body on the volcano and the island in general. In 1916 a bill forming the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson; since then the park has become a World Heritage Site and a major tourist destination, attracting roughly 2.6 million people annually.

The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Some of the cave entrances were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people (a tribe of Orang Asli).
As early as 1860, Chinese settlers began excavating guano for fertilising their vegetable patches. However, they became famous only after the limestone hills were recorded by colonial authorities including Daly and Syers as well as American Naturalist, William Hornaday in 1878.
Batu Caves was promoted as a place of worship by K. Thamboosamy Pillai, an Indian trader. He was inspired by the 'vel'-shaped entrance of the main cave and was inspired to dedicate a temple to Lord Murugan within the caves. In 1890, Pillai, who also founded the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Kuala Lumpur, installed the murti (consecrated statue) of Sri Murugan Swami in what is today known as the Temple Cave. Since 1892, the Thaipusam festival in the Tamil month of Thai (which falls in late January/early February) has been celebrated there.
Wooden steps up to the Temple Cave were built in 1920 and have since been replaced by 272 concrete steps. Of the various cave temples that comprise the site, the largest and best known is the Temple Cave, so named because it houses several Hindu shrines beneath its high vaulted ceiling.
These images were taken on a day trip to the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County, near Brevard, North Carolina. I was looking for native orchid species that are not yet in flower.

Members of a Senegalese Formed Police Unit (FPU) of the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSCA) participate to a training on maintaining and restoring public order at the Police Academy in Bamako. The training, organized for 75 Malian national police officers, was conducted by Components of UN Police (UNPOL) and saw the participation of an armored water cannon truck of the Bangladeshi FPU.

When visiting the Valley of Mo'ara on the Alpha Centauri moon we call "Pandora," keep an eye out for native wildlife. I found this exotic creature just off the walking path leading to a repurposed laboratory that offers tourists the chance to link with an avatar flying on a mountain Banshee.
It is a surprising example of parallel evolution, as it closely resembles a southern leopard frog found on earth. (Perhaps it really is an Earth frog inadvertently brought to Pandora by the Resources Development Administration.)
They want this fast and they want a photo that looks like the location they're going. Is this horrible? Obviously, the title just a place holder. Have to print this tomorrow. Thanks.

Located on the grounds of the New York Hall of Science, this distinctive sculpture, dating to 1964, is by the modernist sculptor Theodore Roszak (1907–1981). It was commissioned as part of the permanent sculptural program of the New York World’s Fair of 1964-65.
Forms in Transit is a 43-foot long sculpture of aluminum and steel tubes and sheet metal. It suggests an aircraft, with fuselage and wings, but it is also meant to embody the concept of motion and change. The work is in keeping with one of the central themes of the fair, space exploration, and complemented several other significant features in the park, such as The Rocket Thrower statue, Court of Astronauts, Fountain of the Planets, Space Park and The Unisphere.
Portions of a damaged wing were removed in 1970. Though environmental corrosion is evident, some of the patchy, blistered surface of the sculpture appears to be original to the piece, and intended to suggest the incendiary voyage of the vessel as it passes at rapid speed through the atmosphere.
This is not the statues original location, although it is close to it. It was originally in the vicinity of the Chrysler and Transportation & Travel Pavilions, about 1/10 mile to the south.
Sant Pere de Rodes, Girona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Sant Pere de Rodes is a former Benedictine monastery in the comarca of Alt Empordà, in the North East of Catalonia, Spain.
It is in the municipal area of El Port de la Selva in the province of Girona, Spain. It has been constructed in the side of the Verdera mountain below the ruins of the castle of Sant de Verdera that had provided protection for the monastery. It offers exceptional views over the bay of Llançà, to the north of Cap de Creus. Near the monastery Santa Creu de Rodes is the ruins of a medieval town, of which its pre-Romanesque style church is the only remains dedicated to Saint Helena.
The true origin of the monastery is not known, which has given rise to speculation and legend; such as its foundation by monks who disembarked in the area with the remains of Saint Peter and other saints, to save them from the Barbarian hordes that invaded the Western Roman Empire. Once the danger had passed the Pope Boniface IV commanded them to construct a monastery.
The first documentation of the existence of the monastery dates 878, when it was mentioned as a simple monastery cell consecrated to Saint Peter, but it is not until 945 when an independent Benedictine monastery was founded, led by an abbot. Connected with the County of Empúries, it reached its maximum splendor between the 11th and 12th centuries until its final decay in 17th century. Its increasing importance is reflected in its status as a point of pilgrimage.
In the 17th century it was sacked in several occasions and in 1793 was deserted by the benedictine community, which was transferred to Vila-sacred and finally settled in Figueres in 1809, until it was dissolved.
The monastery was declared a national monument in 1930. In 1935 the first restoration work was initiated.

CASTELLANO
El monasterio benedictino de Sant Pere de Rodes se halla en el término municipal del Port de la Selva en la provincia de Gerona de Cataluña (España). Construido en la falda de la montaña de Verdera por debajo de las ruinas del castillo de Sant Salvador de Verdera que le había dado protección, con una vista excepcional sobre la bahía de Llansá y del Port de la Selva, al norte del Cabo de Creus. Cerca del monasterio están las ruinas del poblado medieval de la Santa Cruz de Rodes, del que sólo queda en pie su iglesia de estilo prerrománico dedicada a Santa Helena.
Fue restaurado a raíz de la publicación del libro que presentó el hallazgo y análisis de un reducido maletín conteniendo reliquias identificables como de san Pedro Apóstol, las cuales en el año 610 fueron alejadas por mar de la ciudad de Roma donde habían sido veneradas en la subterránea cripta ("la Confesión" bajo el altar) de San Pedro del Vaticano. Allí nunca regresaron.
Dentro de un "maletín" decorado con láminas de hueso, y envuelto con un delantal a la medida del pontífice Gregorio I "El Magno" había diminutos relicarios. Además incluyó en su interior una ara portátil (con inscripciones) destinada a celebrar misa los religiosos custodios durante su travesía marítima, cuando Roma estuvo seriamente amenazada por una invasión oriental.
El lote de relicarios (sin tapa) fue accidentalmente recuperado justo doce siglos después de su ocultación en el muro de la cripta subterránea bajo el altar mayor de Sant Pere de Rodes. Las excavaciones arqueológicas posteriores a 1990 dieron muy buenos resultados, promoviendo incluso la restauración de todo el complejo abacial, y en especial la iglesia.
Hasta descubrirse las dichas reliquias, era imposible justificar las vastas dimensiones de la iglesia y del monasterio, al ser un sector muy aislado en la costa del Golfo de Rosas, pero posteriormente se hallaron allí varios tesoros: Monedas de oro y plata, antiguas baldosas de cerámica, e incluso pinturas románicas en los muros de un claustro inferior, desconocido hasta mediados del siglo XX.
Se desconoce el verdadero origen del monasterio, lo que dio lugar en el pasado a especulaciones y leyendas, como la de la fundación por monjes que desembarcaron en la zona con los restos de San Pedro y otros santos, que debían custodiar para no ser profanados por las hordas bárbaras que caían sobre Roma. Pasado el peligro, el papa Bonifacio IV habría mandado construir el templo. Sin embargo, la primera documentación de la existencia del establecimiento data del año 878 siendo mencionado como una simple celda monástica consagrada a San Pedro, pero no es hasta el año 945 cuando se considera un monasterio benedictino independiente, regido por un abad. Ligado al Condado de Ampurias, llega a su máximo esplendor entre los siglos XI y XII. En él se celebran jubileos hasta su decadencia en el siglo XVII. Su importancia creciente lleva a convertirlo en un punto de peregrinaje de la época. A partir del siglo XVII es saqueado en varias ocasiones y en 1793 fue abandonado por la comunidad benedictina que se trasladó a Vila-sacra y, finalmente, se instaló en Figueras en 1809 hasta que fue disuelta. En 1930 fue declarado monumento nacional, y en 1935 la Generalidad de Cataluña inicia las primeras restauraciones.
