Ooit in #Eindhoven: Operation Oyster
Het Monument Operation Oyster is een monument dat de burgerslachtoffers herdenkt die gevallen zijn bij dit bombardement. Het monument bevindt zich tegenover de Lichttoren aan de Mathildelaan.
Het betreft het door de Britten uitgevoerde bombardement van 6 december 1942 (Sinterklaasbombardement) dat de Philipsfabrieken, waar radio's en dergelijke voor het Duitse leger werden vervaardigd, buiten werking zou moeten stellen. De codenaam van deze operatie was: Operation Oyster. Door de onnauwkeurigheid van de bombardementen leidde dat tot veel burgerslachtoffers terwijl de Philips-fabrieken veel minder schade leden dan bedoeld.
Er werden 93 bommenwerpers ingezet. Bij het bombardement kwamen 140 burgers en 7 Duitse soldaten om het leven
Het monument stelt een geopende oester voor, met een gat in de bovenste schelp, en in de geopende schelp een aantal verwoeste huizen. De oester staat op een sokkel, waarop een gedenkplaat is aangebracht.
Het monument werd op 6 december 2011 onthuld en werd ontworpen door Peter Nagelkerke. (Wikipedia)
Het verbeeldt de verwoesting en ontreddering!

We went to the presentations by Operation Wild Life at Wyandotte County Lake this weekend - they had many interesting raptor birds to talk about - eagles, hawks, owls and more
All of these birds suffer physical injury or have been imprinted to humans that make them unable to succeed in the wild. OWL does rehab and return over 69% of all wild animals they take in.
It was fascinating to see them up close and learn about how advanced they are for hunting such small prey!
Camera is my Sony A100 mostly with the 70-200zoom - and I am very happy with the zoom. Later I changed to the 35-70 for some broader shots.
Did not see any Eagles, and missed the photographer that takes so many of the pictures we see. We have seen some eagles at K32 near the P&G plant - but cannot find a place to stop and take a picture!
These were taken with a much larger dpi and have been downsized to Flickr - let me know if you need a better picture.
Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's family received the Operation Smile Founders Circle award for their work in the organization.

Operation Shocktober on October 18th 2008 was the ninth straight month of peaceful global protests against the scientology cult. The theme was zombies, to coincide with Halloween and highlight the many mysterious deaths and suicides of cult members.
All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.
Educate yourself about what TIME Magazine called "The Cult of Greed and Power":

Australia’s latest contribution to the rebuilding of Afghanistan, the 1st Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force (MRTF-1) commenced operations in Uruzgan Province in mid October 2008.
The task force is lead by the Darwin based 7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (7 RAR) and is the first Infantry commanded group to operate in Afghanistan. 7 RAR supported by soldiers from other Darwin based units and service personnel drawn from across Australia.
Continuing on the excellent work achieved by earlier Reconstruction Task Forces, the MRTF-1, has the added mission of training and mentoring members of the Afghan National Army (ANA). The new role is designed to provide better security into the future, complementing the ongoing efforts to rebuild infrastructure for the people of Afghanistan.
Based at Tarin Kowt in southern Afghanistan, MRTF-1 operates as part of the Netherland’s lead Task Force Uruzgan. The Australian personnel will serve in Afghanistan for eight months.
