this is my contribution for Max Kuiper's latest publication, Nuit & Noirs 3, Sacred Language.
For this issue, the contributors were asked to respond on this quote of Antonin Artaud:
“I am adding another language to the spoken language,
and I am trying to restore to the language of speech its old magic,
its essential spellbinding power,
for its mysterious possibilities have been forgotten.”
Finally, almost two weeks later than normal, we found some early blooming wildflowers in the woods yesterday including Spring Beauty.
HEERENVEEN – Het statige pand (1819) dat gespiegeld is in het water, was in vroeger jaren ooit het pand van Kuipers Meelhandel (Heerenwal 4) en de Sociëteit Eensgezindheid, nu nog met originele voordeur en onbeschadigde gevel.
HEERENVEEN – the stately building (1819) that is mirrored in the water, was in former years ever the owner of Kuipers Flour Trade (Heerenwal 4) and the society Eensgezindheid. Now still with original front door and undamaged façade.
Against the setting Sun, United Launch Alliance’s Atlas 5 rocket thundered off the pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force State to begin the flight of the first production satellites for Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellite internet constellation.
Five solid rocket boosters helped propel the rocket and the 27 satellites on board from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) at 7:01 p.m. EDT (2301 UTC).
Not a lot of leaf color this weekend, but this spot on the Stu Kuiper Trail around Lake Red Rock was a pleasant surprise.
The overall leaf color was not what we had hoped for on a recent walk in a wooded area near Lake Red Rock, but it was quiet and peacful, and a close look will always find something pretty.
(Can anyone identify the tree species for me?)
This week's assignment for Macro Mondays is "technology". Just last night we have met André Kuipers (our fellow-villager), an astronaut who was in space twice (in 2004 and 2012 in ISS (International Space Station) and who told us so much about space technology. The technical possibilities in our time go beyond our imagination. And as much I would have liked to take pictures of space technology, this is of course not possible. However, what you see in the picture is a remote control with lots of buttons I still do not know the purpose of (for instance "Pure A"). To much technology for me.... HMM!
'United Europe'
In 1894 in the Roemer Visscherstraat in Amsterdam near the Vondelpark architect Tjeerd Kuipers built 7 houses next to each other in the styles of 7 European countries: England, The Netherlands, Russia, Italy, Spain, France and Germany.

André is onboard the ISS as part of ESA's long duration mission, PromISSe. For further information on the mission, please visit: www.esa.int/SPECIALS/PromISSe/index.html

Image of the Kuiper Brandarisrace 2015, a race of traditional sailing vessels from the port of Harlingen to the West-Frisian island Terschelling.
The fleet of a total of 80 traditional sailing ships of different types, like clippers and sailing barges, have to pass the narrow and shallow Schuitengat which is caught in this photo.
The common seals on the sandbank don't seem to mind it.

Historie Kuiper Brandarisrace
Toen in 1994 de Brandaris op Terschelling 400 jaar bestond is Herman Brandsma gevraagd om iets te organiseren. Ter afsluiting van het jubileumjaar werd toen voor de eerste keer de Brandarisrace georganiseerd met toen al 50 schepen die allen door sponsoren gehuurd werden. Nu is het maximum aantal schepen beperkt tot 80 stuks. Meer passen echt niet in de haven in verband met de veiligheid. Nu is het al passen en meten en organisatorisch is 80 ook een maximum.
Jaap Kuiper is verweven met de watersport en draagt de Bruine Vloot een warm hart toe! De organisatie is blij met de ondersteuning van Kuiper Verzekeringen, waardoor ze onder andere mensen uit Den Haag kunnen uitnodigen voor de verwezenlijking van belangrijke zaken die betrekking hebben op de Bruine Vloot. Zo kunnen ze zien dat het een echte, grote, belangrijke bedrijfstak is waar hard en professioneel gewerkt wordt aan een bijzonder product. Dank zij de sponsor is de Kuiper Brandarisrace een groot succes en het grootste zeilevenement in de Bruine Vloot.
André Kuipers with his crewmates Don Pettit and Oleg Kononeko during a training session at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, in Russia, in August 2011. Kuipers, Dutch national and a member of the European Astronaut Corps, will fly to International Space Station (ISS Expeditions 30 and 31) for a long duration mission in 2011.

Heat generated by the gravitational pull of moons formed from massive collisions could extend the lifetimes of liquid water oceans beneath the surface of large icy worlds in our outer solar system, according to new NASA research. This greatly expands the number of locations where extraterrestrial life might be found, since liquid water is necessary to support known forms of life and astronomers estimate there are dozens of these worlds. These frigid worlds are found beyond the orbit of Neptune and include Pluto and its moons.
This image is a composite, enhanced-color image of Pluto (lower right) and its largest moon Charon (upper left) taken by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on July 14, 2015. Pluto and Charon are shown with approximately correct relative sizes, but their true separation is not to scale.

Another amazing capture from ESA astronaut André Kuipers, from his vantage point on the ISS.
André travelled to the orbital outpost in December 2011, and will remain in orbit for more than 6 months as part of ESA's long duration mission, PromISSe.

Over a year ago, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by a strange object at the edge of our solar system. Just a hazy form resembling a snowman on the day of the spacecraft’s closest approach, Arrokoth is now taking shape to be a fascinating and revelatory member of the region of the solar system beyond Neptune's orbit known as the Kuiper Belt. Untouched by the usual turmoil and impacts of most small objects, this pristinely preserved world could tell us about the earliest years of our solar system's formation.
New research published in a series of papers in Science begins to reveal Arrokoth's mysteries, including its formation, geography, composition, various basic properties and more. Scientists from NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley worked alongside researchers from across the world to provide a comprehensive first look at this object.
Also known as MU69, the object consists of two lobes connected by a thin "neck" and has days that run almost 16 hours, while a full orbit around the solar system takes 298 years. Its orbit lies 44 times further away from the Sun than our own Earth, and based on the craters we see across its surface, Arrokoth is estimated to be about 4 billion years old.

Originally the "Ultima Thule Mining Drone", this machine aided in construction of mining facilities near the outer reaches of the solar system in the 23rd century. When mutiny and civil war broke out across the Kuiper belt region, the drone was used in combat against the allied authorities from Earth.
The Brawler was powered by a fusion core made to support heavy loads in construction. The fusion core allowed for constant, high-intensity energy output that gave the Brawler unmatched speed and strength in battle. This, combined with a plating made of a ductile alloy which was unphased by ally weaponry, made the Brawler virtually indestructible in combat.
First big mech in like... 5 years! I've always been inspired by Ryuhei Kawai and his iconic DeRosa mech and wanted to build something similar in my own style. Hope you enjoy!
