Fox squirrels on a damp day at the beginning of Winter Term 2023. Taken at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday January 6th, 2023. I missed a few of the really tough mange cases on Wednesday, but luckily I saw my patients on Friday. I saw Max Power (by the Michigan League) and there is progress. I saw two very bald squirrels on the Diag - so they are named Hatcher (with the scab) and Harlin. Mange has been very bad this year - practically every squirrel has a patch or so. If there was a red mark on the skin - that meant they were scratching. I think I will make Wednesday my main medicine distribution day - so I do not give any of the squirrels too much Ivermectin. Hopefully we will get these squirrels on their way to healthy living soon. Many squirrels will share a nest and that is how mange will spread. I also saw a red squirrel over by Lorch - used my big lens for that little one! Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.
Visited the gardens on this day after Father's Day, Monday June 17th. It seems that the blooms are mostly gone - though there still is some late blooming flowers at least for the next few days. Another beautiful season at this treasure at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

DONALD TRUMP 300 -
For over a month, since the end of August, I've been sharing with my immediate circle my prediction that Donald Trump will win the November 5, 2024 election for President of the United States with between 300 and 312 electoral votes.
I'm making this prediction based on several observations!
First, media polls place Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a tie, but this is misleading because media polls are unreliable, as they don't include a large enough number of voters. In my opinion, the true polls are the internal ones of the two parties, the Republicans and the Democrats. These internal polls are not public, but if you look at the public behavior of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, you can see that Trump and his team are calm and seem confident of winning. In contrast, Kamala Harris and her team seem nervous and worried that they're no further ahead and that they can't dominate the election campaign in any meaningful way, despite their best efforts.
Their panic manifests itself in the fact that their media strategies and political programs are constantly changing and following a philosophy contrary to the original one of their party. The latest proof of their panic is to agree to an interview with Fox News, a right-wing media outlet, something the Democrats have never done in the past.
On the other hand, Joe Biden in 2020 had much higher media polls than Kamala Harris but won only by a narrow margin.
Hillary Clinton in 2016 also had higher polls than Harris, but less than Biden, and lost the election. Clinton had won the popular vote but lost because of the state voting system (232 Clinton - 306 Trump).
In politics, you have momentum, either up or down, but the incumbent in power, here Kamala Harris and the Democrats, must never plateau and be stationary.
Harris gained momentum in the weeks after Joe Biden's resignation, but she has been plateauing for several weeks now, on a par with Trump, who is managing daily to slightly increase his lead in several key states.
This situation clearly shows that Harris is not succeeding in getting ahead of his opponent and that on Election Day, Donald Trump will win by a narrow margin with the undecideds, as he has a continual slight upward momentum compared to Harris, who is stationary.
In conclusion, in my opinion, the situation totally resembles the one of the 2016 election, hence my prediction of a victory for Trump with between 300 and 312 grand electors.

DONALD TRUMP 300 -
Depuis plus d'un mois, la fin du mois d'août, je partage avec mon entourage immédiat ma prédiction selon laquelle Donald Trump remportera l'élection du 5 novembre 2024 à la présidence des États-Unis avec entre 300 et 312 voix de grands électeurs.
Je fais cette prédiction sur la base de plusieurs constats !
Tout d'abord, les sondages des médias placent Donald Trump et Kamala Harris à égalité, mais c'est trompeur car ces sondages ne sont pas fiables, n'inluant pas un nombre suffisant d'électeurs. À mon avis, les vrais sondages sont les sondages internes des deux partis, les Républicains et les Démocrates. Ces sondages internes ne sont pas publics, mais si l'on observe le comportement public de Donald Trump et de Kamala Harris, on constate que Trump et son équipe sont calmes et semblent confiants dans la victoire. En revanche, Kamala Harris et son équipe semblent nerveux et inquiets de ne pas être plus en avance et ne pas pouvoir dominer la campagne électorale de manière significative, malgré tous leurs efforts.
Leur panique se manifeste par le fait que leurs stratégies médiatiques et leurs programmes politiques changent constamment et selon une philosophie contraire à celle de leur parti. La dernière preuve de leur panique est d'avoir accepté une interview avec Fox News, un média de droite, ce que les démocrates n'ont jamais fait par le passé.
D'autre part, Joe Biden en 2020 avait des sondages beaucoup plus élevés que Kamala Harris, mais il n'a gagné que de justesse.
Hillary Clinton, en 2016, avait également des sondages plus élevés que Harris, mais moins que Biden, et elle a perdu l'élection. Clinton avait remporté le vote populaire mais avait perdu à cause du système de vote des grands électeurs (232 Clinton - 306 Trump).
En politique, il y a toujours un élan, que ce soit à la hausse ou à la baisse, mais le titulaire sortant au pouvoir, ici Kamala Harris et les démocrates, ne doit jamais plafonner et être stationnaire.
Harris a pris de l'élan dans les semaines qui ont suivi la démission de Joe Biden, mais elle plafonne depuis plusieurs semaines, à égalité avec Trump, qui parvient chaque jour à augmenter légèrement son avance dans plusieurs États clés.
Cette situation démontre clairement que Harris ne parvient pas à prendre de l'avance sur son adversaire et que le jour de l'élection, Donald Trump l'emportera de justesse auprès des indécis, car il a une légère dynamique ascendante continuelle par rapport à Harris, qui est stationnaire.
En conclusion, à mon avis, la situation ressemble totalement à celle de l'élection de 2016, d'où ma prédiction d'une victoire de Trump avec entre 300 et 312 grands électeurs.
À suivre...

A State of 90's - Lets meet again! 13-03-2010. Elkaar weer ontmoeten deden we zeker deze avond. Elkaar onderling en de crowd de artiesten en andersom. Er heerste een enorme energetische vibe in The Sand en we waanden ons weer terug in de beginjaren van de dance, waar de verschillende huidige stromingen zijn ontstaan. We hebben het hier over: A state of 90's. Met artiesten die als pioneers aan de wieg stonden van wat we nu als moderne en hedendaagse dancestromingen kennen. Wat te denken van Fierce Ruling Diva - Live, Miss Monica, Human Resource en Quadrophonia. De allergrootste klassiekers kwamen deze nacht voorbij. Deze heren en dame dj's zijn het draaien nog allerminst verleerd en gaan ook 20 jaar later nog steeds los. Net als generatiegenoten en de generatie na hen op de dansvloer. En iedereen danste tot dat hij/zij er bij neerviel. Wat een nacht in de Sand. Top gewoon! Respect aan de mannen van het geluid en het licht. Dat was dik in orde deze nacht. Misschien voor een volgende editie nog een paar vette lasers in de zaal hangen. Om het helemaal af te maken! Ook dank aan de organisatie voor het neerzetten van zo'n mooi feest. Deze set is mede tot stand gekomen met dank aan Michael. Dank gast, voor de vette foto's. Zijn foto's zijn de nummers: 228 t/m 330 van deze set. De nabewerking van de hele set heb ik verzorgd. Have fun met het checken en downloaden.
Check ook de tweetal aftermovies van het feest @ mijn YouTube channel:

Om het me dit weekend met 3 feesten, donderdag 11/03 Escape, vrijdag 12/03 Panama en zaterdag 13/03 Sand, makkelijk te maken en tijd te besparen, deze keer 100% natuurlijke foto's. Geen (storende) logo's in de foto's. Dus gewoon je eigen foto(s) of welke foto je maar wil snel en gemakkelijk downloaden in het formaat 15 x 10 cm! Maar ook wanneer er wel een logo in de foto is geplaatst bij sets, kun je altijd je mooiste foto(s) als herinnering aan een bijzondere avond/nacht bestellen bij mij. Stuur een mail naar: dutchpartypics@yahoo.com met het/de betreffende fotonummer(s). Daarna laat ik je de details weten waar je je Eurootje naar kunt overmaken. Daarna stuur ik je de high res. foto via de mail toe. Een fotootje in de maximale resolutie van 10 MP (3800 x 2500 pixels ongeveer) zonder logo dus, kost je maar een lousy Eurootje. En jij kunt daarna je favoriete partyfoto laten afdrukken op canvas bijvoorbeeld, in een afmeting van 100 x 67 cm. En dat ziet er erg strak uit kan ik je verzekeren. Heb er zelf ook eentje aan de muur hangen thuis. Dat kost je ongeveer 50 - 70 Euro. Of je geeft je afgedrukte foto als geschenk aan je liefje. Mogelijkheden zat te bedenken!
Dank nogmaals allen voor de mooie foto opportunities het afgelopen weekend. Respect aan de mensen van sound & vision in de Escape, Panama en Sand. Alle drie toplocaties, met topfeesten in een mooie stad: Amsterdam. Het was een mooi party-weekend, 11-12-13 maart 2010!
Laat je op- en aanmerkingen achter op de foto! Ik hoor het graag van jullie! Hiervoor moet je wel eerst een Flickr-account aanmaken. Doodeenvoudig en erg gemakkelijk allemaal! Een free account is helemaal gratis. Hiermee kun je tot 100 MB of 200 foto's per maand plaatsen op Flickr. Een pro-account kost je nog geen 15 Euro per jaar. En je kunt dan onbeperkt foto's uploaden in elk gewenst formaat.

The Hundred of Cotton was declared in 1894 but no surveying took place until 1904. Farming land was sold in 1905 with nearest town to be Parrakie on the Pinnaroo railway. In 1913 the local Methodists decided to build a church to be used as a state school. This floundered. Later that year the locals decided to build a public hall which could be used for church services and would have financial support from all denominations. A farmer donated some land for it. The hall opened late in 1913. The Hundred of Cotton School opened in the hall in January 1914. The school closed in 1945 with the opening of Lameroo Area School. The hall was enlarged in 1928 and the old hall was demolished in 1960 and a new Besser block hall built. Almost since its inception the hall was used for Methodist Church services and from 1939 the hall was the regular venue of the CWA. Prior to that the Women’s Agricultural Bureau had met in the hall. The new hall was still being used by the CWA and the Uniting Church in the 1980s. The adjacent tennis courts were established in 1927 and in 1973 a small Besser block club room was erected. The courts are clearly no longer in use.
