CTBC bank is also implementing finger vein scanning and facial recognition at its automatic teller machines (ATM), which would allow customers to withdraw money without having to use a bank card or PIN.
The finger vein technique was pioneered by the Japanese firm Hitachi Ltd and is based on the unique pattern of veins inside a finger. Only a living finger is accepted by the scanner, which is believed to make vein recognition a more secure technology than fingerprint scanning.
The finger vein sensor has a false match rate of 0.01 percent, and its accuracy in measuring the blood flow of a user for identity authentication is unaffected by variations in age and physical condition, the bank said, citing findings by US-based International Biometric Group.
The week got away from me so just remembered at 8 last night that I hadn't shot anything for this weeks theme. Rummaged through the kitchen until I came across this handy dandy little gem. A thingamajig to get your olives out of jars and cans.

ENGLISH:
The Museo del Carro y Aperos de Labranza is an ethnographic museum located in the Spanish municipality of Tomelloso. It was founded in the 1960s and houses a collection of more than 400 objects related to agricultural work and domestic life, as well as graphic and photographic documents. The museum is supported by the Association of Friends of the Museo del Carro.
On October 20, 1970, a dry-stone drum was inaugurated, for which more than two million stones were used. Inside there are rooms for farmers, tools and animals for agricultural work. It has an entrance with a semicircular arch and a fireplace. The drums were typical constructions of the area that served to shelter farmers in the field and to store their belongings.

Fue fundado en los años 1960 y alberga una colección de más de 400 objetos relacionados con los trabajos agrícolas y la vida doméstica, además de contar con documentos gráficos y fotográficos. El museo cuenta con el apoyo de la Asociación de Amigos del Museo del Carro.
El 20 de octubre de 1970 se inauguró un bombo construido en piedra seca para lo que se usaron más de dos millones de piedras. En su interior hay estancias para labradores, los aperos y los animales para el trabajo agrícola. Cuenta con una entrada con arco de medio punto y chimenea. Los bombos eran construcciones típicas de la zona que servían para cobijar a los agricultores en el campo y para guardar sus enseres.
Flickr has once again implemented another new, new Beta version randomly selecting members to sample it. Being one of the most random people around, I was blessed with the opportunity. While the format has changed slightly, it is a marked improvement over the last which caused a mass exodus to foreign language versions as a means of avoiding usage, and much closer to the "old" version stylistically. Title, description, and comments are large and back to black on white text. The entire right margin is eliminated and group invites are clearly indicated and easily accessed. I can't find access to the HTML code yet but it must be there somewhere. While it may not be perfect, this is a vast improvement, obviously directly addressing the concerns expressed by membership. And for that, some appreciation is in order.
I would advise all of those who are utilizing alternatives to give a quick check back to English to see if you, too, are one of those so "honored" as to be capable of using the latest altered version. If you are not, the following link shows a sample page:

Due to the invasion of southern and eastern European nations by the Warsaw Pact, the EU has sent back their troops to Europe from America to prepare and strategize a retaliation. Due to this soldiers now have a much more common presence in the daily lives of civilians. All forces will be used to create an advantage, even the Leaning Tower of Pisa will be used as a watch tower in Italy. The preparations are almost complete.

Doing something very interesting with the leaning tower of pisa was harder than I thought if I wanted it to be pretty accurate, so this is more of a tone scene rather than a detailed one to be more accurate to the area.

Close up photograph of kitchen implements.
When looking for subjects to test (otherwise know as “get to know”) a new camera or lens, it is amazing what things one can find to photograph! This week I’m trying to get up to speed on a new camera — more about that below — and how it works with some lenses I already have. On this evening I slapped a macro lens on the thing and headed to the kitchen to photograph… a whisk, blender blades, coffee cups, and others stuff that was lying around.
It is important to me to both understand objectively how my camera equipment functions and to develop an intuitive familiarity with it. The former helps me make smart decisions, and the latter is very important in the field, where I don’t want to get stuck wondering how the gear works. In this case, the new equipment is a Fujifilm X-T5 that I got to upgrade from the XPro2 that I’ve been using for my “small camera” photography for the past few years. For this photograph and a few others like it I put the Fujifilm 80mm macro on the camera.

Heres a shot of my latest find. An old rusty, crusty, planter/ fertilizer made by Moline. I just put the post fence up this evening, and will be planting flowers around it. I love old farm implements. One of the seed decanters is still somewhat in tact, so I put daisys in it.
In 1944 Aalto was commissioned to design and implement a town plan for Säynätsalo, a small factory town founded around Johan Parviaisen Tehtaat wood-processing mills, from 1946 operated by Enso-Gutzeit (now part of Stora Enso), whose headquarters in Helsinki he also designed. The town hall would be built at a later date after Aalto won a government-mandated competition for its design. Aalto constructed the building into the wooded hillside of Säynätsalo creating a three-story multi-purpose building surrounding an elevated courtyard.
The design of the Town Hall was influenced by both Finnish vernacular architecture and the humanist Italian renaissance. It was the Italian Renaissance from which Aalto drew inspiration for the courtyard arrangement which informed the name of his original competition entry entitled "Curia." While the main program of the building is housed within a heavy brick envelope, the courtyard is bordered by a glass-enclosed circulation space which can be linked to the model of an arcade-bordered Piazza.
It was important to Aalto that the design represent democracy and the people's relationship with the government which is why he included a large public space, along with sections dedicated to the public.
The town hall is crowned by the council chamber, a double-height space which is capped by the Aalto-designed "Butterfly" trusses. The trusses support both the roof and the ceiling, creating airflow to manage condensation in the winter and heat in the summer. The butterfly truss eliminates the need for multiple intermediate trusses. It also gives call to medieval and traditional styles. The council Chamber is approached from the main entrance hall a floor below via a ramp which wraps around the main tower structure under a row of clerestory ribbon windows.
Aalto constrained his material palate to one dominated by brick and accented by timber and copper. Though Aalto practiced at the same time as Modernist Architects Le Corbusier and others, he rejected the Machine Aesthetic for the majority of his architecture. Instead, he saw his buildings as organisms made of up of individual cells. This principle informed Aalto's use of traditional building materials such as brick which is, by nature, cellular. The bricks were even laid slightly off-line to create a dynamic and enlivened surface condition due to the shadows.
The massive brick envelope is punctuated by periods of vertical striation in the form of timber columns which evoke Säynätsalo's setting in a heavily forested area.
Another distinctive feature at Säynätsalo are the grass stairs which complement a conventional set of stairs adjacent to the tower council chambers. The grass stairs also evoke notions of ancient Greek and Italian architecture through the establishment of a form resembling a simple amphitheater condition.

It is imperative that we implement a system of ecolonomic homeostasis to fight against the current anthropotechnogenic economic, social and environmental crises. Recent global economic and political instability has revealed the shortcomings of our current capitalist system. It further confirms the necessity for an ultramodern paradigm shift. On account of the deleterious impact of the financialization of the economic ecosystem, we must introduce an oligopolistic system that can be sustainably managed. The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) is what is needed to fulfill our sustainable development goals. Environmental awareness must be the center of our ethos as we work to reduce our anthroposphere periphery in pursuit of global co-immunity. Not only must we manipulate living organisms through science and engineering to create commodities, we must also manipulate the Anthropos through cryptoeconomic engineering.
This new cryptospheric ecotechnic cybernetic system will revolve around a cyber-physical environmental intelligence. This transhuman technosphere of 15 minute city ecoregions will adopt a sustainable economic welfare system that will revolve around harvesting the body’s energy. You will be a collective of communities, a multitude of capital. We will combine biomimetics and thermoeconomics to economically rebalance the core-periphery dynamic. Xenocommodification: all money creation must have biophysical embedding—666. This thermalisation of thermoeconomics will be globally self-replicated.
In short: take the Mark of the Beast and become transhuman—embrace the techno-Beast system, because techno-animism is the way of the future!
These nerds want an economic system that revolves around the environment—a Social Credit Score System that will be linked to your Carbon Footprint and to the United Nations 17 goals of Sustainable Development. The ultimate goal is to tie this eco-economic system together with transhumanism—the merging of man and microchip…data capitalism (data totalitarianism).
Warning: “Constantly be on your guard so that your hearts will not be loaded down with self-indulgence, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, or that day will take you by surprise like a trap, because it will come on everyone who lives on the face of the earth. So be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)

The statement of the title is true, don't listen to what some other photos might tell you. Below are two proofs.
Proof by Mathematical Induction
We induct on the number of times people have shaken hands.
Let E be the set of people who have shaken hands an even number of times.
Let O be the set of people who have shaken hands an odd number of times.
Base Case
Before a handshake ever took place, O has size zero and is therefore even.
Induction Step
We assume the statement is true for k handshakes. We need to prove the statement for k+1 handshakes.
For the (k+1)th handshake, one of the following cases is true:
A. Two people from E shake hands (who now move to the set O).
B. Two people from O shake hands (who now move to the set E).
C. One person from O shakes hands with one person from E (they now "trade membership")
For each case, the parity of O remains the same. And since the size of O was even beforehand (by our induction hypothesis), the size of O remains even.
Seb Przd's Proof Using a Parity Argument
O and E are defined as above.
Let n be the number of times any hand has shaken another.
Let n_o be the number of times a hand from the set O has shaken another.
Let n_e be the number of times a hand from the set E has shaken another.
Note: n = n_o + n_e
Each handshake increases n by two, hence n is even. n_e is a sum of even numbers (by definition) and hence is also even. Since both n and n_e are both even, the equation above tells us that n_o is even as well. But n_o is a sum of odd numbers (by definition). The only way for n_o to be even then, is if the size of O is even.
the implements I prepared so as to facilitate giving Sonya water when she becomes weak as she can't drink by herself. But I didn't use that, because she had drunk water by herself until just before her death for luckily and fortunately. Sonya passed away by cardiomyopathy on the morning of October 6th, 2025. She was 7 and a half years-old.

With it now 5 months since lockdown restrictions were implemented due to COVID-19, airlines are very slowly starting to see demand returning although this maybe scuppered in part due to spikes in cases being reported.
For Finnair, the carrier was supposed to be operating 7 daily or 49 weekly flights for the S20 schedule with 2 wide-body (one Airbus A350-900 in the morning and one Airbus A330-300 in the evening) and 5 narrow-body flights providing the work. That hasn't happened as capacity has significantly dropped with only 15 weekly flights being provided with Airbus A321s being utilised.
Prior to this, Airbus A330-300s became a common sight at London Heathrow following the W18 schedule whereby between 19th November 2018 to 23rd November 2018, Airbus A330-300s replaced Airbus A350-900s on Monday and Friday, and later from 30th November 2018 until 15th March 2019, Airbus A330-300s operated on Fridays only with Airbus A350-900s operating for the rest of the week on AY1331/1332.
For the S19 schedule, Airbus A330-300s got their own dedicated flight from 31st March 2019 when AY1337/1338 was converted from Airbus A320 family aircraft whilst AY1331/1332 retained Airbus A350-900s on all days although Airbus A330-300s would often substitute.
Now, Finnair is only providing a skeleton service between London Heathrow and Helsinki with only 15 weekly flights provided by Airbus A320 family aircraft, mainly Airbus A321s. The vast majority of their Airbus A330-300s are currently in storage at Helsinki whilst their Airbus A350-900s see work providing cargo and limited commercial flights on long-haul sectors.
Currently, Finnair have 8 Airbus A330s, all of which are Airbus A330-300s. So far, 7 out of 8 Airbus A330-300s are currently in short-term storage.
Lima Tango November is one of 8 Airbus A330-300s currently in Finnair fleet, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 24th April 2009, later leased from Novus Aviation Capital between March 2014 until March 2019 where her lease transferred from DVB Bank and she is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80E1A4 engines. She has not operated a commercial flight since 11th March 2020 and is currently in storage at Helsinki-Vantaa.

A planter is an agricultural farm implement towed behind a tractor, used for sowing crops through a field. It is connected to the tractor with a draw-bar, or a three-point hitch. Planters lay the seeds down in precise manner along rows. Seeds are distributed through devices called row units. The row units are spaced evenly along the planter.
This machine is not on display, but is still sitting on what was once the old Fresno Ranch. I can't figure out what it did.
Old farm implements at Seaton's Farm, Weddin Mountains National Park, NSW
There is a walk around 'Seaton's Historic Farm', which is now part of the national park. Seatons Farm is how one man and his wife turned every bit of wire into something useful. Jim Seaton hand made 3 km/1.8 miles of kangaroo proof fence by hand, with posts of local saplings, which are rot and vermin proof. The property was occupied in the late 1920s and during the Depression it was set up as a farm. Times and the land were hard and the buildings represent this. The sheds have walls made from flattened corrugated iron so that it stretched further. One of the sheds is full of old wire, iron sheets, bottles, everything you can imagine. All the old machinery is still there, sitting where it was when the family sold the property to the Government in the 1980s. A unique place, showing how the less well off farmers did it in the early and mid 1900s.
