Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence starting somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BCE.
One of the most ancient cities of the world, Athens Greece is famous as the birthplace of democracy. With a history of over 3,000 years, Athens is the best town for sightseeing.
In 1834, it became the capital of the modern Greek state and in two centuries since it has become an attractive modern metropolis with unrivalled charm.
Athens is the birthplace of democracy and home to some truly epic archaeological sites, but you already knew that. Yes, the Acropolis is magnificent, but the coolest things in the bustling Greek capital are sometimes right where you least expect them.
Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, historically also known as Hellas, is a country in Southern Europe with a population of approximately 11 million as of 2016. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki.
A Y BALAMARA (1969 - )
The auxiliary yawl A Y Balamara was built by master boat-builder Alf Jahnsen and his son Harvey at Lake Street, Forster in 1969. She is currently (November 2023) in pristine condition in Wynnum, Manly (Brisbane) - thanks to her current owner, John Richardson – after 54 years she is still in the same condition as the day she was completed.
The design has a number of features that improve performance. The retractable board (centreboard) that pulls up inside the keel can be used to enhance performance under certain conditions. The rudder is complicated and expensive but is more versatile. A separate sail known as a mizzen staysail is attached to the mizzenmast to improve downwind speed. (n.b. additional information is in the section on the Brief History of the Finisterre).

HISTORY IN RICHARDSON FAMILY
Sailing a 1969 classic timber yacht is a passion spanning four generations of John Richardson’s family. John is the proud owner of Balamara (A Y Balamara), one of only three boats in Australia built off the plans for Sparkman and Stephens’ 1954 yacht Finisterre, built for sailor and writer Carleton Mitchell, who used it to win the Newport Bermuda Race three times.
John’s father Jack, bought the 1969-built Balamara from the original owners.
In an interview John explained his interest: “I still pinch myself that I actually own it. When you look at it, it’s hard to believe sometimes,” John said. Four generations of his family had sailed on the yacht from his father to his three grandsons — Jimmy, Toby and Miles. “I’m excited for the time my grandsons are old enough so they can learn how to sail it,” he said. He said it had been a pleasure to spend four years -restoring the yacht in his father’s memory.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FINISTERRE
Extract from: The Story of Finisterre. mighetto / April 22, 2023.
In 1954 the Olin Stephens designed yacht Finisterre was launched, too late for the Bermuda race that year. She was a 38 foot centreboarder and there is no more accomplished racing yacht. She ranks as one of the most significant yachts in the history of the sport.
Carleton Mitchell, the owner of Finisterre, is the author of the book Islands to Windward. He had developed a sailing style that was not in concert with the era of the deep-keeled, long-ended windward leeward oriented ocean racers. Mitchell had previously owned a 58-foot centreboarder, the Rhodes-designed >i>Caribee. Mitchell wanted to prove something by racing.
With Finisterre, he humiliated hundreds of deep fixed keel race boat owners by holding the honour mooring spot off the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club from 1956 to 1962, a spot envisioned for a much larger and deep draft vessel.
Prior to the build, Mitchell put his ideas in articles which were criticized, putting him in the awkward position of potential publicised failure. Finisterre was built at the height of custom yacht design. His notion of a vessel that would be like having your cake and eating it to, that would be small enough for single handling, comfortable enough for luxurious cruising, able to cross oceans and fast enough to win races was not popular among the all boats are compromises mindset. The fact that the vessel would be a centreboarder undoubtedly angered many who had worked for years to discredit this foil type.
Bill Robinson, in Legendary Yachts, relates the story of Stanley Rosenfeld, the photographer, who in following Finisterre for a photo shoot, noticed little of the creaking that he listened for from the helm of his subjects to identify just the right distance and angle for good photos. Robinson believes the lack of that noise was part of the secret to this vessel and so do I – not that anything about Finisterre was secret, it all being public record owing to Mitchell’s wish to prove something.
Pat Royce in the 2000 edition of Royce Sailing Illustrated notes that Mitchell used the swing keel for steering. “The centreboard is down all the way when beating to windward in a light breeze. As the wind increases the centreboard is raised sufficiently to trim the rudder to reduce weather helm rudder drag.”
Winning races unfortunately does not prove anything to those who are closed minded. Robinson lists many reasons for Finisterre’s success ranging from Mitchell’s knowledge of weather to winches but does not connect the centreboard as a reason for her success. Retracting foils helps the vessel to surf or plane. Finisterre was able to surf the storm fronts owing to this thereby bettering her “betters”. She was greatly imitated by other builders and this imitation lead to rule changes tending to reduce the success of her type according to Robinson.
RESTORATION – A PROBLEM WITH DARK PAINT
John Richardson has done a magnificent job in restoring the vessel. His experience with paint colour is worth reporting; the following segment has been provided by John.
“We researched lots of similar classic yachts in North America before restoring Balamara and many were painted dark colours. We chose a dark blue for the topsides and set off with a gold cove line. This decision was short as it seemed to suit the classic lines of the yacht.
The decision to paint the topsides dark blue as the timber planking started to crack from the excessive heat caused by the dark paint. To fix the problem we stripped all the paint from the topsides, repaired the planking and splined the planks before glassing the hull and applying a coat of white polyurethane paint. This has held up well for the last 15 years”

is the largest park in the city. The 340-acre (1.4 km2) park includes Waughop Lake, an off-leash dog park, and several soccer fields and baseball fields.[1] It is adjacent to Pierce College, historic Fort Steilacoom, and Western State Hospital.
Depicted here is the standard appearance of a conventionally armed Nu-7 operative who is working within a cold weather environment. While the standard fitment and other similarly equipped loadouts constitute hot weather uniforms, Nu-7 must also be equipped with sufficient and additional cold and wet weather gear in order to successfully operate within such an environment. There are several very effective US military cold weather systems that involve layering certain types of winter clothing in order to remain comfortable in a cold or freezing environment without overheating, sweating, and becoming hypothermic. The SCP Foundation supplies their Armed Mobile Task Force units with a similar cold weather layering system that works in tandem with their standard uniform. This enables conventional elements to carry this cold weather system on their kit at all times so when in transit to a cold working area the element is able to quickly adapt to the climate without a delay in responding to the threat.
The main cold weather garment that the operative always carries with them is the Crye Precision HalfJak. This is specifically the insulated version that has enhanced cold weather capabilities compared to other variants. As the name suggests the garment fits over roughly half of the body to allow for the operative to wear it over their standard clothing and still access their kit on the plate carrier. It is secured to the carrier itself using four hooks that catch onto four paracord loops on the cummerbund. The plate carrier itself retains a lot of core body heat and the HalfJak further retains body heat due to its insulation. Temperature is regulated by having the sides of the body open to airflow and the HalfJak itself can be unzipped at the front. It has a built-in hood stored in the raised collar and can be deployed easily should the situation require it. It stores compactly in a elastic bag located at the rear of the plate carrier.
Another additional external bit of cold weather kit is the camouflage overwhites. Here the operative is wearing USMC Experimental Overwhites trousers in snow MARPAT. Its matching pack cover is also seen over his assault pack. This is a camouflage garment that provides a snow camouflage pattern over his standard combat pants in a snowy environment. The overwhites material provides an additional cold and wet weather layer over the standard combat pants. It is paired with Twin Needle puttees over the boots to further protect the users legs and feet from a cold and wet weather environment. In an extreme wet weather environment the operative can choose to wear a poncho instead.
Should the environment require it, AMTF units are also equipped with internal cold weather clothing that can be worn underneath the standard uniform. These are the simple but effective waffle grid wool base layers. The operative is wearing a prototype base layer set from Beyond Clothing. The grid pattern of the wool allows for quick moisture wicking and airflow while still retaining a large amount of body heat. It can be paired with a grid pattern beanie, in this case a Helikon-Tex Grid Fleece Beanie Cap. This beanie has a pocket that allows the user to store their in-ear protection so they can quickly access it when switching from helmet to beanie.
In a combat scenario it is important to retain dexterity even when operating within a cold weather environment. Many cold weather mittens or gloves provide excellent insulation at the cost of reduced dexterity. One way to retain some dexterity while also fighting the cold is to layer gloves. The operative here wears Mechanix Original Gloves over his PIG FDT Alpha Gloves. This provides some insulation while also retaining dexterity. The operative can further enhance insulation by wearing the waffle grid base layer over the gloves using the incorporated thumb loop.
This customized cold weather system provides a sufficient level of cold weather protection in a lightweight and compressible package. Once all aspects of this cold weather suite is put together, it can provide the wearer with some comfort even in below freezing conditions.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The King
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Prince of Wales took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
In 2024 the column of veterans was led by the Royal Marines Association marking the 360th anniversary of their formation in 1664.

This is my entry for the cacri tank challenge over at cghub. Very fun and difficult but having a deadline kept me going. I wish I would've had an extra day to really polish it up, but I do think I managed to get my idea across.
This was the description provided:
"Cancri55e is a recently discovered planet that is made up of diamond and graphite. Cancri orbits its sun in just 18 hours which makes the surface incredibly hot. The first creature that has been discovered on the 'diamond planet' is called the Cancri Tank. It is a very short but wide, 6 limbed creature. It is not yet confirmed if it hosts an exoskeleton or extremely hardened epidermis, but it is made of an almost indestructible material. We do know that at those temperatures, it is blind, which leaves us wondering what senses it relies on for navigation. Its movements are extremely slow and energy preserving."
Fajr Prayer is Healthy...
"And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, and the sleep a rest, and He made the day to rise up again"
[Surah al-Furqan; 25:47]
Certainly sleep is one of the blessings from Allah. At the end of a busy day a person looks forward to sleeping and regaining enough energy for the next day. Sleep is also important for good health and safety reasons. However, studies vary as to how much sleep is enough. Some studies claim 8-10 hours is a requirement for everyone. However, the Prophet Mohammad used to sleep very few hours in the night and used part of the night for prayer. Recent studies confirm that this may actually be healthier for some people.
Sleep is important for health and safety reasons. Lack of sleep can lead to mental illness, relationship problems, absence from work and even traffic accidents.
Researchers have found that people with chronic insomnia are more likely than others to develop several kinds of psychiatric problems, and are also likely to make greater use of healthcare services (Yang). Lost productivity due to sleepiness has been estimated to cost the national economy as much as $100 billion annually and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has estimated more than 100,000 auto crashes annually may be fatigue related (Yang). Because of this, some studies claim that 8-10 hours should be required for everyone. However, recent studies have confirmed what the prophet Muhammad did may be healthy for some people.

Petrofani is an abandoned village in central Cyprus. It is located in the Larnaca District and is about 2.5 kilometers southwest of Athienou. Petrofani is close to the United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus. Prior to the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the village was inhabited by Turkish Cypriots.
Athienou is a village in Larnaca District, Cyprus. It is one of only four villages located within the United Nations Buffer Zone, the other three being Pyla, Troulloi and Deneia. Today, Athienou has a population of around 6,500 people.
Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Basin of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and the world's 80th largest island by area.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
Split is a Mediterranean city on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, centred around the ancient Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian and its bay and port. With a population of 178,192 citizens, and a metropolitan area numbering up to 467,899, Split is by far the largest Dalmatian city and the second-largest city of Croatia. Spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings, Split's greater area includes the surrounding seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub, the city is a link to numerous Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula, as well as a popular tourist destination.
Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area. While it is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old counting from the construction of Diocletian's Palace in AD 305, archaeological research relating to the original founding of the city as the Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) in the 6th century BC, establishes the urban tradition of the area as being several centuries older.
