Every Child Matters is a slogan and message used to honour the innocent lives lost. It symbolises that every child is important, including the ones who lose their lives and the adults who are still healing from their difficult time at residential schools.

Tune: Skillet - Would It Matter

If I wasnt here tomorrow would anyone lose sleep

if I wasnt hard and hollow

Then maybe you would miss me

I know Im a mess and I wanna be someone

Someone that Id like better

I can never forget, so dont remind me of it forever

What if I just pulled myself together

Would it matter at all

What if I just tried not to remember

Would it matter at all

All the chances that have passed me by

Would it matter if I gave it one more try

Would it matter at all...

Bells Plumber Shop.

The building was erected in 1883 by John Colton and Thomas Miller. John Colton was a leading colonial Methodist who went on to become Premier of South Australia.

The shop was sold to David Charles Bell, a plumber and gasfitter who emigrated from Scotland. His family was born in an attached residence at the back of the shop.

The property was owned by the Bell family for more than 100 years and in 1984 it was made a State Heritage Place. In 1997 when the Bell family sold the shop to Hamilton Hill Pty Ltd, the property was run down but it was still essentially in its original condition. It's a great pity that the last owner neglected the property. An explosion inside the shop in 2008 accelerated the building's deterioration.

A Matter Of How You See It

Thank you for supporting my art!

My teenage son recently discovered a group called Apocalyptica from Finland while searching for a Metallica video on youtube. They are a group of cellists who do covers of, wait for it . . . heavy metal bands (btw, they also do originals). First of all, who doesn't love the cello? Jerks, that's who. Secondly, there's actually quite a bit of heavy metal I like, the band Metallica for one. Please, I beg you, listen to Apocalyptica's cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters". You will not be sorry. It moves me to tears . . . and yes, I realize that's not hard to do, but still.

They also do a Nirvana cover of "Come As You Are". Nirvana is my fave, fave, fave band.

I just ordered three of Apocalyptica's CDs and a concert DVD. Hurry Amazon, hurry!

Introspective Self Portraits B4 a ton of photoshoots I have planned. (warming up!)

Does it matter that the front slit in my little pink skirt reveals my pantyhose panty top?

I left home in a hurry to go out of town. I had packed a bag with some outfits and everything I needed to dress the way I like. I got to my destination and realized the bag of outfits I wanted to wear along with my pantyhose and good camera was still at home sitting on my bed. Bummer! So after a while I was able to go buy an A cup bra, a lot of pantyhose, girls panties and a couple of cute quick simple outfits.

I wish my camera phone took decent pictures!

SET 6 – West Point Wal-Mart

So now that we’ve left the store, let me take the time to ask: what did y’all think?? Did you love it? What did you think of the décor? If you like it, is it because of the package itself, or simply due to the rarity of a classic Walmart still holding out like this, when so many other classic décors and layout traits have been erased so many years before now? Were you a fan of the exterior, with its distinct mid-2000s build, green paint scheme, and vintage logo? (Surely you at least got a nostalgic feeling from seeing it, right?) Talk to me, friends! I was beyond excited to come across this store – by sheer accident, as you'll recall – and now that our album is finally ending, I want to hear what you guys all thought of it as well.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf,

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day

Nothing gold can stay. - Robert Frost

Brighton Marina & Undercliff a walk I've done a few times and rode for that matter. On a sunny day the chalk that washes of the cliff face is as bright as snow. It follows the cliff line all the way along to Saltdean. Past Rottingdean and Ovingdean Gap. Plenty of spots along the way to have a paddle in the cool water of the English Channel. At low tide you can scramble over the chalk reefs us locals call The Rock Pools, and net and bucket are a must. Rottingdean further along offer Fish and Chips from the smugglers Inn chippy. Talking of Smugglers this place is rich in history.

Cagliari - Juillet 2014

Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.

Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.

Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century.

According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster.

Do you see two Giants speak

No matter how often we perform this manoeuvre, capturing a freely drifting spaceship with the International Space Station's robotic arm in full manual mode always gets an astronaut's pulse up.

Egal wie oft wir dieses Manöver durchführen - ein anfliegendes Raumschiff mit dem ISS Roboterarm in manuellem Modus einzufangen erhöht die Pulsfrequenz eines jeden Astronauten.

"No matter what, there is always hope"

Folded from a 50x50 cm square bicolor paper. Final height of the model is 26 cm. The laser sword green color has been digitally enhanced in the photo. The head is based on Fumiaki Kawahata's Yoda, a bird base on top of the square but in my case the corner of the square forms the head instead of the nose.

"No importa lo que sea, siempre hay esperanza"

Doblado de un cuadrado de papel bicolor de 50x50 cm. La altura final del modelo es de 26 cm. En la foto el color de la espada láser está retocado digitalmente para aumentar la saturación del color. La cabeza está basada en la del Yoda de Fumiaki Kawahata, una base pájaro en un esquina del cuadrado pero con la diferencia de que la esquina forma la cabeza en lugar de la nariz

Three pints of bitter before lunch and a packet of salted peanuts! The Guide tells us that the alcohol will cushion the impact of passing through a matter transferance beam and the peanuts will replace the lost salt and protein. These are the very long and incredibly steep escalators from the railway station up to T2 at Helsinki Airport. The architecture is stunning and as well as the very reasonable €5 ticket price the Sydney Airport line could learn a lot from the no nonsense Finns. I'm headed for Stockholm and my sixth country in four days. I know how Arthur felt now.

Having previously posted my favourite American music track of 2024 flic.kr/p/2qB7Byt I'm taking time out from the Texas photos to replay my overall favourite music track of 2024. Originally from 2016, I had never heard this masterpiece until a few months ago. The photo shows another mountain view from Wasdale in England's Lake District.

This is another version of the previous fire engine. Someone suggested this different name, as it reminded him the character from Pixar's movie. My two kid's agreed with this name better.
