The Abbey of St. Jean des Vignes was a monastery of Augustinian canons in Soissons, France, southwest of the city center. Only ruins remain, of which the west facade remains one of the more outstanding examples of architecture in the town. It is a listed historic monument.
The abbey was founded on St. John's hill in 1076 by Hughes Le Blanc as a community of Augustinian canons.
Initially built in Romanesque style, the initial buildings were replaced at the end of the 12th century by those extant today. The west facade was begun in the 12th century, but not finished until the 16th. The refectory and cellar date from the 13th century, parts of the cloisters from the end of the 13th century, while other parts are from the 16th century, as is the abbot's lodging.
When the abbey was suppressed during the French Revolution the premises were put to use for military purposes, and an arsenal was added.
The site was acquired by the town of Soissons in the 1970s and the remaining buildings are now occupied by educational and heritage-related organizations.
San Juan Chamula (Mexique) - Cette grosse bourgade est située à une dizaine de kilomètres au nord-est de San Cristobal de las Casas.
Ce village largement bétonné qui ressemble à rien est habité par les « Chamulas ». Une étonnante communauté d’origine précolombienne dont l’organisation a ses propres codes sociaux. Leurs pratiques religieuses sont un mélange de chamanisme, de croyances mayas et catholiques.
Les Chamulas n’aiment pas être photographiés si l’on en croit les guides. Mais en faisant preuve d’un minimum de diplomatie, hormis lors des cérémonies religieuses, il est quand même possible de faire quelques photos sans risquer de se retrouver avec un machette en travers du crâne.
Ce petit artisan en est la preuve. Il avait bien vu que je le photographiais et m’a fait un petit signe de la main quelques instants plus tard.
Chamulas Community
San Juan Chamula (Mexico) - This large village is located about ten kilometers northeast of San Cristobal de las Casas.
This largely concrete village which looks like nothing is inhabited by the "Chamulas". An astonishing community of pre-Columbian origin whose organization has its own social codes. Their religious practices are a mixture of shamanism, Mayan and Catholic beliefs.
Chamulas do not like at all to be photographed if one believes the guides. But if we show a minimum of diplomacy, except during religious ceremonies, it is still possible to make some picture without risk of ending up with a machete down in the skull. This little craftsman is proof of that. He saw that I was photographing him and gave me a little wave a few moments later.
So proud i made it through the MR SL Competition and won the title MR SL 2022. Thankful for all your support, i met so much beautiful souls and made friends. I will never forget these amazing journey. All were so amazing- the MISS SL Organization Team and all the finalists did a great job.
Also congratulations to Zieb Zen and Hasu Valentino for first and second runner up, you both deserve it so well.
I hope we can do some projects in the future together - i see us three as the winners and a team.
Also was so touched of Marcus Wisser‘s speech, it hit my heart. I know what it means to start a project from zero and grow it to a great solid event, which is known all around the grid. You are very special for me. You and the team were always professional, kind and respectful with all of us finalists, your guiding through the challenges i appreciated so much.
It made me grow personally and with my skills and qualities.
I still dont see myself perfect because i am only a human with flaws but i know i can challenge and grow even more confident and professional.
My next journey will be finishing my 6. book of neverending and open the sim soon.
Then next i have lot of projects in my mind, one of it will be to help new pageants, guiding them threw their own experiences in MISS SL and be a positive model for them giving them lots of love and power to be themself and proud of it.
Points to „be themself“ was a big challenge for me and thanks to the experience i reached it and be finally proud of myself, of who i am, where i come from and where i am now. I am not scared anymore to show it and neither voiceless. It’s who i am - a human with a kind big heart for everyone.
Hello there! I hope all is well! Happy Tuesday my friends! I am here featuring Chez Moi with the Sassy Messy Futon which is new to the Tres Chic Event. It is texture change by hud. I liked the black color and went with it. I love black spaces and adding bold colors! This futon has some clothes and shoes thrown about it. It inspired me to decorate a closet or dressing room. Having clothes on a living room sofa for me would make my OCD go in overdrive. But it's fine in the closet. LOL This Futon can go in any space you choose though. Don't let my weird ways influence you! It would also look cute in a nice foyer entry. The animations in here are really nice and there is something for everyone. I always have to try out animations in furniture. You don't want something you and your guests will look crazy sitting on! LOL Full details are on the blog! Feel free to have a look! Thank you so much for the support and have a blessed day! xoxo <3333 Ebony

Regione Marche - Italia
Nata il 14 dicembre 2004, la Riserva Naturale Regionale Sentina è la più piccola area protetta marchigiana, ma con una grande valenza ambientale.
Un paesaggio di acqua e sabbia che si sviluppa per circa 180 ettari all'interno del Comune di San Benedetto del Tronto, tra l'abitato di Porto d'Ascoli a Nord e il fiume Tronto a Sud.
La Sentina è costituita da ambienti unici come cordoni sabbiosi, zone umide retrodunali, e praterie salmastre che ospitano una ricca e peculiare flora ormai scomparsa in quasi tutto il litorale adriatico devastato dall'antropizzazione.
Notevole è l'importanza dell'area per l'avifauna migratoria, che trova nella Riserva l'unica possibilità di sosta costiera tra le aree umide del delta del Po e del Gargano.
English version
The Sentina Natural Regional Reserve was established in 2004 by a regional law and is the smallest Park in the Marche region.
For the natural organization of the places, Sentina is considered a homogeneous system of land, river, and lake areas, a landscape of waters and sand covering an area of 177.55 ha, entirely in the territory of the Municipality of San Benedetto del Tronto, between the town of Porto d'Ascoli in the north and the river Tronto in the south, between the coastline in the east and the railway line in the west.
Sentina Regional Nature Reserve represents for San Benedetto del Tronto an invaluable treasure for its natural environments, life quality, and a differentiated tourist offer completing the already existing proposals offered by the seaside tourism.
Clock in the City of London, with North American spelling. No idea who 'organised' the installation.
Trump doesn't like the fact that some provisions of the Iran nuclear treaty expire in seven years, so he backs out of it, which means those provisions expire immediately. What a mental dwarf! It's really only because the treaty was negotiated under the Obama administration, sorta like the ACA.
Let's be very clear: It's one thing to say a peace treaty is bad. It's very much another to rip it apart with no better idea, no plan, no negotiation, no expertise, no allies and no ultimate goal except perhaps starting another serious conflict -- and that's already happening. The guy is an idiot, that thinks he's a genius.
In most cases, I am more than happy to let worthy and humane organizations use my work. If you'd like to use one of my images, simply leave me a comment or contact me via Flickr Mail. Please ask.

The spotted hyena is the most social of the Carnivora in that it has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviors. Its social organization is unlike that of any other carnivore, bearing closer resemblance to that of cercopithecine primates (baboons and macaques) with respect to group-size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated groupmates.
Cubs are born with soft, brownish black hair, and weigh 1.5 kg on average. Unique among carnivorous mammals, spotted hyenas are also born with their eyes open and with 6–7 mm long canine teeth and 4 mm long incisors. Also, cubs will attack each other shortly after birth. This is particularly apparent in same sexed litters and can result in the death of the weaker cub. – Wikipedia
The Organization of Cape Verdean Women (OMCV) in partnership with the Cape Verdean Institute for Gender Equality and Equity (ICIEG) and other partners announced on Sunday, March 7th in the City of Assomada, the main commemorative event of International Women's Day under the motto Djuntu na Paz, nu kombati violênsia na Cabo Verde (Together in Peace, in the fight against violence in Cape Verde).
The opening ceremony was co-chaired by His Excellency the Prime Minister, Jose Maria Neves and the UN System Resident Coordinator, Mrs. Petra Lantz and was also attended by the US Ambassador, Government representatives, and representatives of local municipalities, among others.
Celebrating International Women's Day we know that we join thousands of people around the world, to celebrate a date that marked the world 100 years ago. It is celebrated worldwide this year under the motto Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress for All.
At the same time, the 15th anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action is celebrated. In 1995 during the IV World Conference on Women, world leaders committed themselves to promote equality, development and peace to women around the world.
The Beijing Declaration remains as current as it was 15 years ago: as long as women are not liberated from poverty and injustice all the objectives for which we work – peace, security and sustainable development - will be threatened. There are several examples of progress, although gender stereotyping and discrimination based on gender persist in all cultures and communities.
The International Women's Day is an opportunity to make a critical review of the successes achieved over the past 15 years, which are not few, and to take stock on how to achieve what is missing.
In Cape Verde a lot has been done since the independence in favor of women, allowing to create a favorable environment for increased participation of women, and to contribute to the development of the country. Great results have been achieved with emphasis on education, health, and political participation of women over the last years. Highlighting at the government level, among the ministers, eight are women.
However, it cannot be said that women have achieved the same equality as men, to emphasize the important achievements in favor of women in Cape Verde and thereby stimulate and continue this struggle. Because social ills still persist, such as unemployment, extreme poverty which affects mostly female heads of households, and the violence against women, that are in flagrant contradiction with the promise contained in the Charter of the United Nations "to promote the social progress and better standards of life in a broader concept of freedom".
The consequences of the violence for women and girls as well as to their families, communities and societies are incalculable. Too often the crimes are unpunished and the criminals go free. In this context the States have the responsibility to protect women and punish their aggressors, ensuring a continuing improvement of judicial processes.
With increasing frequency, men manifest themselves against this blot in our society. It is not easy to change mentalities and habits that endure for generations. It is a task for all – individuals, organizations and governments. We should work together to declare, loud and clear at the highest level, that violence against women will not be tolerated, whatever form it takes, the context in which it occurs and the circumstances that surround it.
Recognizing this fact, the African Union at the Conference of 15-year review of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action that was celebrated in March 2010 in New York, launched the African Women's Decade 2010-2020, reaffirming the commitment assumed since the Dakar and Beijing conferences and the resolutions on gender equality and women empowerment taken by the Assembly of the African Union, to accelerate the achievement of results set out in the Millennium Development Goals.

This photo really has no redeeming qualities as far as being of photographic value or significance to my trip. My sister pointed this scene out in the parking lot at Sand Beach, making a remark about this being what she looks like on one of her backpacking trips. I find that hard to believe. She is NOT me! She plans, she organizes, she makes lists, she pares down the list and repacks. I wait until half an hour before it's time to get in the car and drive away and then I start chucking everything I can think of in my car. If you know me, you know I speak the truth. And, quite frequently, I end up looking like.... well... looking like THIS!!
Hope you found what you were looking for buddy! I know the feeling! All too well!!

This is the view from the place I stay when I am in Havana. As much as I am a fan of breakfast buffets (breakfast is my favorite meal) I am a bigger fan of being right where I want to be with a camera from the first moment I wake to the last moment I am awake.
To be clear I never crop an image. What you are looking at are two images mrged together so I can get the totlity of the view.
Yup I bit the bullet and modified a Z9 for infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. THe first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of thar light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR....coool....
There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant. You can truly create a place when the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera/
There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.
Shot with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.

This was the first time I had gone to a wannaGoFast event. I went on a Saturday, September 17th, 2016 to the Heaven's Landing Airstrip located in Clayton, Georgia. I want to thank the wannaGoFast organization for providing me a media pass to this event. I would certainly go again in the future. If you never been to such an event, you should go at least once and see what it's really like to see cars going their fastest. This was the first time I had ever seen a Lamborghini go over 200mph in person !

Astronomers have used NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory to show that, multiple eruptions from a supermassive black hole over 50 million years have rearranged the cosmic landscape at the center of a group of galaxies.
Scientists discovered this history of black hole eruptions by studying NGC 5813, a group of galaxies about 105 million light years from Earth. These Chandra observations are the longest ever obtained of a galaxy group, lasting for just over a week. The Chandra data are shown in this new composite image where the X-rays from Chandra (purple) have been combined with visible light data (red, green and blue).
Galaxy groups are like their larger cousins, galaxy clusters, but instead of containing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies like clusters do, galaxy groups are typically comprised of 50 or fewer galaxies. Like galaxy clusters, groups of galaxies are enveloped by giant amounts of hot gas that emit X-rays.

Arnold Research Organization (ARO) designed and operated Arnold Center until 1980. My dad began working there in 1953 until he retired in early 90s. He is 98 1/2 and as sharp as ever. Here's a bit of history on AEDC / ARO:
Arnold AFB (Air Force Base) began as Camp Forrest, an Army training camp during WWII. Camp Forrest's training facilities included William Northern Field, used for training Army Air Force pilots. Camp Forrest was secured after the war by the new Air Force as the site for the Air Engineering Development Center in 1949, and named the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) in honor of General Henry "Hap" Arnold, one of the founding fathers of the US Air Force and a five-star general.
AEDC was created to be the primary jet and rocket development for the Air Force, and developed the premier flight, jet, rocket, and simulation testing in the world. The Jet Age of the 1950s and 1960s, and Space Race kept pushing the AEDC to expand their capabilities. [In the early 50s, my mom, dad, and father-in-law began working at the Center - the dads were engineers and my mom was a secretary for the Air Force Generals.] The AEDC was instrumental to the development of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs, including testing space capsules, the Saturn V rocket upper stage engines. The main function of the AEDC was to test military aircraft and missiles. In the 1970s, systems for the Space Shuttle, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt, MX missile, Air-Launched Cruise Missile, and Global Positioning Satellite system were tested by the AEDC. Arnold's testing in more recent years has included systems of the Patriot Air Defense Missile, F-117A Nighthawk, and other vital defense systems. Source: www.arnoldafbhousing.com/history
