Prague Railway Station or Praha hlavní nádraží
These lights in Prague Railway station took my eye, so just had to take a shot of them.
Information
Prague Main railway station (Czech: Praha hlavní nádraží, abbreviated Praha hl.n) is the largest and most important railway station in Prague in the Czech Republic. It was originally opened in 1871 and named Franz Joseph I after Franz Joseph I of Austria. During the First Republic and from 1945 to 1953 the station was called Wilson station (Czech: Wilsonovo nádraží) after former President of the United States Woodrow Wilson. His statue was placed in the park in front of the station before later being destroyed by German occupiers after the U.S. entered the war. The monument was destroyed by night on 11th December 1941 and the statue melted.
The Art Nouveau station building and station hall was built between 1901 and 1909, designed by the Czech architect Josef Fanta, on the site of old dismantled Neo-Renaissance station. The station was extended by a new terminal building, built between 1972 and 1979, including an underground station and a main road on the roof of the terminal. The new terminal building destroyed a large part of the park, and the construction of the road cut off the neo-renaissance station hall from the town. The station is being revitalized by the Italian company GrandiStazioni.

Executive Order 9066
Sept. 8 - Nov. 3, 2012
Reception: Friday Sept. 21, 6-8pm at SAC
Dinner & Taiko drum show: Friday Sept. 21, 8-10pm, Old South Church
Mary Norton Hall, 645 Boylston St. $100 per person, $90 SAC members.
Artist Lecture: Saturday Sept. 22, 11:00 am, Old South Church, Mary Norton Hall, 645 Boylston St.
In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the internment of tens of thousands of American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese ancestry. Wendy Maruyama, a third generation Japanese-American and highly regarded artist/furniture maker based in San Diego, has created a compelling body of work examining this period in American history.
The exhibition includes three integrated parts: Executive Order 9066, the Tag Project, and a selection of historical artifacts. Executive Order 9066 involves a series of wall-mounted cabinets and sculptures referencing themes common in the internment camps. Maruyama's pieces integrate photo transfers based on the documentary photographs of Dorothea Lange and Toyo Miyatake in conjunction with materials such as barbed wire, tarpaper and domestic objects. The Tag Project consists of groupings of 120,000 recreated paper identification tags suspended from the ceiling. The suspended tags evoke a powerful sense of the humiliation endured by the internees and the sheer numbers of those displaced.
Maruyama's inclusion of actual objects owned or made by the internees brings an intensely personal awareness to the impact of Executive Order 9066. Included objects range from actual suitcases used by families during their relocation to an array of items made by internees from available materials in the camps.

The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.

Fireman Will Smith fills the tanks of 'Tom Rolt' whilst Guard Sue Palmer takes the tea order at Dolgoch Station on the Talyllyn Railway. 30th May 2015.
My trainee has been so great about ensuring that I try lots of local foods. Tonight he and his wife took me out for this pork rib soup, which, despite looking like nothing special, was delicious. The boiled peanuts were also a highlight, which is odd because when I tried them Florida style earlier this year I was not a fan. I guess I like Chinese style. Also, sweet lime juice is simply a wonderful thing. I bet it would make an excellent mixer, too.
Engine order telegraph, Fragata A.R.A. "Presidente Sarmiento" (built 1897 in England), Buenos Aires, Argentina
The ship made 37 voyages as a training ship of the Argentine Navy between 1899 and 1938 and is a museum since 1962.
The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) are a fraternal society devoted to charitable work within the local community and assisting other members in times of need. The RAOB’s first Lodge was established in 1822 and their traditions and regalia are based on the Masonic model but are not a Masonic society.
The RAOB motto is “Justice, Truth & Philanthropy” which is often seen on their medals and badges. Their aims are;
• Friendship
• Charitable works
• Social activity
• Mutual support
• Care.
This fine enamel badge would have been issued to a delegate at the RAOB’s 1954 Annual Meeting which took place at Rhyl in Wales. This badge depicts the pier and promenade at Rhyl. The pier was built in 1872 and closed in 1966, sadly, it was demolished in 1972.
The entire image; dragon, sail boat and panoramic view of Rhyl pier with promanade forms the pre-1967 municipal crest of Rhyl town.

Francuski Order Palm Akademickich dla Profesora Andrzeja K. Koźmińskiego
Profesor Andrzej K. Koźmiński został uhonorowany francuskim odznaczeniem państwowym - Orderem Palm Akademickich. W imieniu premiera Francji wręczył je prof. Frank Bournois, dziekan szkoły biznesu ESCP Europe w obecności przedstawiciela Ambasady Francji w Warszawie.
Odznaczeniem tym wyróżnia się osoby, które swymi zasługami dla nauki i społeczności akademickiej przyczyniają się do intelektualnej obecności Francji w świecie. Kawalerowie Palm Akademickich to najczęściej osoby, które mają zawodowe związki z Francją. Profesor Bournois przypomniał o licznych wykładach profesora Koźmińskiego we Francji i o jego pracy w radzie nadzorczej francuskiej firmy telekomunikacyjnej Orange. Podkreślił osiągnięcia założonej m.in. przez prof. Koźmińskiego uczelni – Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego, która wyrosła na najlepszą uczelnię biznesową Europy Środkowej, o wysokim wskaźniku umiędzynarodowienia studiów i o badaniach naukowych prowadzonych w zespołach wielokulturowych.
Odbierając to zaszczytne wyróżnienie prof. Andrzej Koźmiński podziękował w języku francuskim, a przy okazji wspomniał rodzinne związki z Francją: babcię – Francuzkę, matkę, która prowadziła lektorat z tego języka i ojca, prof. Leona Koźmińskiego, który w okresie międzywojennym jako stypendysta rządu polskiego obronił doktorat na Sorbonie. Nawiązał również do tego, jak bardzo dobre relacje z Francją i jej światem akademickim przyczyniły się do uzyskania przez Akademię Leona Koźmińskiego akredytacji EQUIS przyznawanej przez EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development). Prezes EFMD, prof. Eric Cornuel, który przybył na uroczystość, wygłosił laudację na cześć Kawalera Orderu Palm Akademickich i swojego przyjaciela – prof. Andrzeja K. Koźmińskiego.
Order Palm Akademickich to najstarsze francuskie odznaczenie cywilne ustanowione w 1808 r. przez cesarza Napoleona. Obecnie nadawane jest przez rząd Francji na wniosek francuskiego ministra edukacji narodowej.

I took this photo because I thought the repetition of ropes would make for a good "order" photo. I like how the background in this photo is blurred out. Something I'd change is have more of the ropes in focus.

While photographing the Danish designer/painter/artist, Per Arnoldi, I just had to shoot his famous sense for order. Everything in his workshop is neat and tidy.
Austrosaropogon nigrinus
Family: Asilida
Order: Diptera
Quite a small robber fly - I estimate 5-6mm. This species is found in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia.
This individual was apparently tapping the end of its abdomen on the upper surface of a pittosporum leaf. I suppose this is a female laying her eggs, though I can find no corroborating information about the egg laying habit of this species. Any information about this subject is appreciated! :)

In front of friends, family and a room full of distinguished guests, 23 exceptional civic leaders were honoured today at Government House with the Province’s highest form of recognition, the Order of British Columbia.
“The Order of British Columbia is the Province’s most prestigious accolade,” said Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, Chancellor of the Order. “For 25 years, we have publicly recognized those who have dedicated themselves to bettering the lives of their fellow citizens. These recipients exemplify the positive difference one person can make in a community and are an inspiration to all British Columbians.”
