▶ RECIPE
● INGREDIENTS
☞ 2 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
☞ 2 TBSP malt vinegar
☞ 1/3 cup vegetable stock or potato-cooking water
☞ 1 cup vegan mayonnaise (such as non-soy Just Mayo)
● EXTRAS
☞ 2/3 cup finely chopped onion
☞ 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
☞ 3 small radishes, roughly chopped
☞ 3 TBSP finely chopped dill pickle
☞ 3 TBSP chopped fresh scallions
☞ 1 TBSP capers
☞ 1 tsp ground white pepper
☞ 1 tsp ground mustard
☞ 1 tsp turmeric
☞ 1 dash Liquid Smoke
☞ 1 dash smoked paprika
☞ Kosher salt, to taste
● GARNISH
☞ Crisp whole red-leaf lettuce leaves
☞ Thinly sliced radishes
☞ Chopped scallion greens
● PROCEDURE
1) Peel the potatoes and slice each one lengthwise in half, or in quarters if very large; then cut crosswise into half-round or quarter-round slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
2) Put the slices in a saucepan with water just to cover and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt per quart of water. Bring water to a boil, and reduce to a simmer, uncovered. Cook the potatoes for 5 to 6 minutes, checking with a fork for cooked through, but still firm. Check frequently. DO NOT OVERCOOK.
3) Immediately remove from heat and drain into a colander, but save a cup of the cooking liquid for dressing the potatoes.
4) Add the malt vinegar to 1/3 cup of vegetable stock or the reserved potato water. Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinegar/stock over the potato pieces, turning them gently to distribute evenly. Let sit 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
5) Add potatoes to colander. Strain out any remaining liquid.
6) Return to mixing bowl. Add the onion, celery, pickle, scallions (reserving some for the garnish), capers, Liquid Smoke, and spices (minus the paprika and salt). Toss. Top with 2/3 cup of mayonnaise and, with a large rubber spatula, gently fold everything together until well blended. Taste the salad and add more salt, pepper, mayonnaise, or vinegar/stock as needed.
7) Cover the salad and set aside in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so before serving. If it is refrigerated longer, let it come back to room temperature before serving.
8) To serve, line a bowl or a platter with red-leaf lettuce, and mound the salad on top. Decorate at the last moment with radish slices, chopped scallion greens, and a couple of dashes of smoked paprika.

"Ravensbrück was a notorious women's concentration camp during World War II, located in northern Germany, 90 km north of Berlin at a site near the village of Ravensbrück (part of Fürstenberg/Havel).
Construction of the camp began in November 1938 by SS leader Heinrich Himmler and was unusual in that it was a camp primarily for women. The camp opened in May 1939. In the spring of 1941, the SS authorities established a small men's camp adjacent to the main camp.
The first prisoners at Ravensbrück were approximately 900 women. The SS had transferred these prisoners from the Lichtenburg women's concentration camp in Saxony in May 1939. By the end of 1942, the inmate population of Ravensbrück had grown to about 10,000. In January 1945, the camp had more than 45,000 women prisoners.
Between 1939 and 1945, over 130,000 female prisoners passed through the Ravensbrück camp system; only 40,000 survived. Although the inmates came from every country in German-occupied Europe, the largest single national group incarcerated in the camp consisted of Polish women." (Source: Wikipedia)
November, 1941.
From www.camprobertshistoricalmuseum.com/Photos.php
Construction of the main garrison area began on November 15, 1940. The first commander, Lieutenant Colonel Marston, rented office space in the Bank of America building in Paso Robles. His command consisted of the office, plans and specifications for construction of the facilities, and a few tents. From those humble beginnings the operation grew to involve over 8,000 workers in the construction of a training site capable of housing 30,000 trainees at one time.
Construction took approximately nine months, and the area received the heaviest recorded rainfall before or since. During construction it was decided to change the original name, Camp Nacimiento, to Camp Roberts in honor of 22-year-old Corporal Harold W. Roberts, a World War I tank driver from San Francisco who died in France in the Argonne Offensive, and was awarded the Medal of Honor. Today, Camp Roberts is the only major Army military installation named for a non-commissioned officer.
Camp Roberts officially began its mission as one of the world’s largest training sites in March 1941. It featured the world’s largest parade field (the length of 14 football fields) and hosted an Infantry Replacement Training Center and a Field Artillery Replacement Training Center. 436,000 troops passed through an intensive 17-week training cycle. A peak population of 45,000 troops was reached in 1944, with thousands of these soldiers quartered in huge tent cities. Besides the two Training Centers, there was a 750-bed hospital and intern facilities for German and Italian prisoners of war. Many of the Italian POWs swore allegiance to America after Italy surrendered, and spent the remainder of the war as service unit workers at Camp Roberts.
Many famous people received their military training here during WWII, including Caspar Weinberger, Robert Mitchum, Steve Allen, Steve “Hercules” Reeves, and comedy legend Red Skelton, who headlined Camp Roberts’ entertainment troupe. Many other celebrities, like Laurel and Hardy, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny and Marlene Dietrich have come to Camp Roberts to entertain countless troops at the Soldier Bowl.
On July 1, 1946, with the out-processing of WWII soldiers complete, Camp Roberts was inactivated as a training site, reverting to ‘caretaker’ status, with a skeleton crew to maintain it. Reserve units conducted their 15-day summer training cycles, and it remained so until the outbreak of the Korean War.
In June 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea, and the United Nations quickly responded. The following month, Camp Roberts was re-activated for Regular Army troop training, and soon added an Armor Replacement Training Center. The terrain resembled that found in Korea, and the famed 7th Armored Division was in charge of training. By the end of fighting in September 1953, approximately 300,000 troops had completed their training here. After returnee out-processing in early 1954, camp Roberts reverted once again to caretaker status, continuing to train National Guard and Army Reserve units’ summer training periods.
During the Vietnam era, Camp Roberts once again bustled with activity, though not on as grand a scale as in WWII or the Korean War. The installation was not ‘officially’ open, and thus earned the title “most active inactive post in the U.S.” Many troops were brought down from Fort Ord after in processing for their basic training and returned there for graduation and assignment. In the 1960s, the Army’s first satellite network was constructed here, and the Army’s Combat Development Experimental Command (CDEC) did much vehicle and weapons testing. The Navy also trained crews for river patrol boats here. Vietnam was the last era Army Basic Training was given here.
The US Army officially closed Camp Roberts in April 1970, and on April 2, 1971, the California Army National Guard received control of the Camp under license from the Army to establish a Reserve Component training and mobilization facility. Camp Roberts continues to operate in this fashion today. Military units from all service branches (and some foreign countries) continue to train here, and it also hosts a large wheel and track maintenance school for reserve soldiers. In recent years, many National Guard units have been processed through Camp Roberts to meet the Nation’s needs in the War on Terrorism by being deployed throughout the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
The history of Camp Roberts is effectively related in the Camp Roberts Historical Museum, which is housed in the original WWII Red Cross Headquarters (Main Museum) and the original WWII Camp Roberts Post Office (Museum Annex).

UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

Collotheca sorprende por su larga corona extensible, lanza las redes de finos filamentos de seda y en vez de hacerlos rodar espera y lo hace protegido por una fina vaina casi invisible que viste su torso y su cola. Se trata de un rotífero que presenta una corona formada por varios lóbulos que pueden ir de 1 a 7 sobre los que se despliegan abanicos de finísimos filamentos. Estos filamentos envían hacia el interior del cono que forman, cualquier organismo que tropieza con ellos para pasar a su boca y ser así masticados y digeridos ▷ .
Pero cualquier roce de cualquier ser inesperado, cualquier sobresalto, hace que este tímido ser se repliegue y esconda su red de filamentos y su corona dentro del cuerpo, para volver a desplegarla cuando siente que el peligro ha pasado ▷ .
Las diferentes especies del género se distinguen por el número de lóbulos de la corona y las características del borde membranoso que los une.
Collotheca vive generalmente asentado sobre los tallos de plantas acuáticas sumergidas y cerca de la orilla despliega sus redes para capturar su alimento que casi siempre está constituido por algas.

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.
It's difficult to get everything I want with these high speed hummingbird shots.....focus, framing, exposure, depth of field, etc. I wish I'd gotten the whole bird in the frame here. I like the tail feathers, little feet, and throat color enough for this one to be a keeper, though.

Enjaulada en su fino palacio de cristal, la ameba sol Penardiophrys asoma sus más de veinte brazos de hilo desde sus ventanas de encaje, para palpar el agua y recoger de ella, con delicadeza, su cosecha de alimentos.
Nadie ha castigado a Penardiophrys a vivir en una jaula tan abierta, que es como un traje de encajes amplios, ventanales circulares que se asoman a la vida desde las profundidades, a fin de cuentas un vestido de princesa tejido con proteínas, quizá no tan hermoso como el de su maravillosa prima Clathrulina, pero sí exclusivo único y especial como ella.
El delicado cuerpo de Penardiophrys posiblemente se dispersaría como la bruma al primer golpe de corriente si su casa jaula no le diese esa protección, y por ello, sus amplias ventanas sostienen sus finos brazos y un largo cabo, sujeta su esfera de palacio anclándolo a los fondos para que no se pierda en el infinito.
Toda esta arquitectura esférica de óvalos soldados que es jaula, es al mismo tiempo vestido holgado y precioso en el que el delicado cuerpo estrellado de Penardiophrys reticulata se refugia. Podrá salir de él en cualquier momento y lo hará para reproducirse, dividiendo su cuerpo blando como lo hacen otras amebas o fabricando en un misterioso proceso células flageladas que en un proceso de mágica metamorfosis formaran de nuevo estas esferas huecas y vivas.
Penardiophrys reticulata vive anclada a los fondos como un globo sujeto por un hilo a la mano de un niño, entre grumos de sedimento, que mullidos la protegen.
Cada una de las ventanas del caparazón de Penardiophrys está enmarcada por unos nervios finos y apenas visibles que forman una estructura de red con facetas similares; todas ellas presentan un fino orificio central a través del que asoman los finísimos pseudópodos (axiopodios) que pueden alcanzar hasta 3 veces el diámetro del caparazón. subcentrally. El núcleo en esta especie está situado casi en posición central y se ve con dificultad.
La especie que mostramos hoy fue descubierta y descrita por Penard en 1904 bajo el nombre de Hedriocystis reticulata . Pero tras la revisión realizada por Mikrjukov en el año 2000, esta especie pasó a formar parte del nuevo género Penardiophrys denominado así en honor a Penard, bajo el nombre de Penardiophrys reticulata .
Esta interesantísima y rara ameba se ha encontrado en escasas ocasiones, sobre vegetación de esfagnos y en el fondo de zonas pantanosas y ésta, desde el Lago de Sanabria es la primera referencia que se hace de ella en territorio Ibérico.
La fotografía de hoy, realizada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia, se ha tomado sobre una muestra recolectada a cinco metros de profundidad, el 30 de agosto de 2015, por Laura, Mª José y Tomás en las inmediaciones de la Isla de Moras en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

I captured this image in the Flamingo Marina area of Everglades National Park. The overwhelming number of pelicans found around the Flamingo Marina is American Whites, so this pelican caught my attention. According to Wikipedia, the Brown Pelican is the smallest of the eight species of pelican, although it is a large bird in nearly every other regard. It is 42–54 inches (106–137 cm) in length, weighs from 6.1 to 12 lbs (2.75 to 5.5 kg) and has a wingspan from 6.0 to 8.2 feet (1.83 to 2.5 m). Through most of its range, the brown pelican is an unmistakable bird. Like all pelicans, this species has a very large bill, 11 to 13.7 in (28 to 34.8 cm) long in this case, with a gular pouch on the bottom for draining water when it scoops out prey. The head is white but often gets a yellowish wash in adult birds. The bill is grayish overall in most birds, though breeding birds become reddish on the underside of the throat. The back, rump, and tail are streaked with gray and dark brown, sometimes with a rusty hue. In adult pelicans, the breast and belly are a blackish-brown and the legs and feet are black. The juvenile is similar but has a brownish-gray neck and white underparts.

The name 'Clingendael' means 'valley in the dunes'. The original part of the Clingendael building was built between 1643 and 1660 for Philip Doublet, whose family had moved to The Hague from the south of the Netherlands. Several of the Doublets held the office of Treasurer General in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces.
Philip's wife was the sister of the celebrated poet and statesman, Constantijn Huygens, and Philip’s son married one of Huygens’ daughters, Suzanna. The architecture of the original part of Clingendael shares some of the features of the Huygens’s country house in Voorburg, Hofwijck.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Clingendael belonged to the Van Brienens, a prominent family of merchants and bankers. During the period of French rule in the Netherlands, Willem Joseph van Brienen was appointed Mayor of Amsterdam and elevated by Napoleon to 'Baron de l’Empire'.
The last of the Van Brienens in the male line, Arnout, built a racecourse for his guests at Clingendael; it has since been moved to nearby Duindigt. Arnout’s unmarried daughter Marguérite, known as Lady Daisy, laid out Clingendael’s fine Japanese garden.
During the Second World War, the house was occupied by the Nazi Reich’s Commissioner for the Occupied Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and his family.
In 1954, Clingendael became the property of the municipality of The Hague, which it remains today. Since 1983, the Clingendael Institute (the Netherlands Institute of International Relations) has been located in Huys Clingendael.

Le rêve-et-là-teur
Notre pensée cherche des révélations. Elle rêve de bas en haut et non de haut en bas. L’homme ne saurait prétendre de voir et de rêver le monde vu du ciel. Si observer le monde d’en haut constitue en soi le privilège de quelques-uns, par le biais de machines volantes ou de résurrections célestes, je préfère alors le regard naïf et spontané de l’ingénu, nu de toute suffisance d’images et de figures imposées par l’arbitraire de quelques censeurs. À la convocation d’images maintes fois rééditées, je préfère la production d’images en contre-plongée, issue de la liberté et du désir de voir et d’interpréter. « N’est-ce pas plutôt un encombrement pour la pensée qui, ainsi toute peuplée de figures d’emprunt, ne dispose plus d’aucun champ où tracer elle-même des figures ? » 1.
Ici, devant cette photographie, vue et capturée d’en bas, je vois à travers des yeux affranchis, les contours, les flous et les perspectives d’un instant. Cavité de notre pensée, la tête s’incline spontanément en direction de la voûte atmosphérique, couvercle de ce paysage ramifié de reflets et de béton. Un monde vu d’en bas qui révèle ici un ciel autant impénétrable que profond, autant support de formes qui nous font sens que support de d’ouvertures et de projections. L’extrême simplicité et même primitivisme de ce regard photographique nous donne à voir l’expression d’une posture tendue vers la toiture de ses rêves, la tentative d’une offrande sans destinataire, pleine d’aspirations et d’inspirations. Dans sa poésie Jean Cocteau écrivait :
Le ciel a ses étoiles,
La terre ses bordels.
Cri du Christ déchirez le voile.
Jésus couronné de cris d’hirondelles,
Apparaissez tonnez dans votre magnésium ;
Incendiez la presse et prenez loin de l’homme
Ma photographie éternelle.
Utopies, rêves et échappées, provoquent la part de l’invisible et de sublime du visage de notre commun. Une illusion me diront quelques uns. Mais si l’illusion n’est que duperie de la réalité de notre monde bien pensant, je lui donnerais mille fois raison, car elle est nécessitée pour continuer produire des images vues de la terre, les seules qui expriment les mirages, l’espérance de voir plus loin. Modeste et candide, en quête de nouveaux sens, notre regard tourné vers le ciel est rêve-et-là-teur.

Nasty evil stuff, but really cool looking with some great light. Look, photograph, but me no touch.
From Wikipedia:
The plant is covered with brittle yellow spines that break off easily if the plants are handled or disturbed, and the entire plant has been described as having a "primordial" appearance. Devil's Club is very sensitive to human impact and does not reproduce quickly. The plants are slow growing and take many years to reach seed bearing maturity, and predominately exist in dense, moist, old growth conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest.
This species usually grows in moist, dense forest habitats, and is most abundant in old growth conifer forests. It is found from south-central Alaska to western Oregon and eastward to western Alberta and Montana. Disjunct native populations also occur over 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) away in Lake Superior on Isle Royale and Passage Island, Michigan and Porphyry Island and Slate Island, Ontario.
Native Americans used the plant both as food and medicine. The plant was traditionally used by Native Americans to treat adult-onset diabetes and a variety of tumors. Traditionally, it was and is still used to make paints. In vitro studies showed that extracts of Devil's Club inhibit tuberculosis microbes.[3]
Because Devil's club is related to American Ginseng, some think that the plant is an adaptogen ("mind enhancer"). The plant has been harvested for this purpose and marketed widely as "Alaskan ginseng", which may damage populations of Devil's Club and its habitat.

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)
During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.
SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.
For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.
SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.
The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.
ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.
ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.
The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.
ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.
ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.
* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.

Quote from Wikipedia "Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Antony Gormley.
Now permanently erected on Crosby Beach, England, it was due to be moved to New York in November 2006, but there was a controversial proposal to retain the work at Crosby. It was stated in the local paper, the Crosby Herald, that they may stay for a decade, but at a meeting on 7 March 2007, Sefton Council accepted proposals that would allow the sculptures to be kept permanently at Crosby Beach"
There are 100 of these iron figures over a 3 Km stretch of beach.

ENGLISH
The White-fronted Amazon, Amazona albifrons also known as White-fronted Parrot, or adopted slang term Spectacled Amazon Parrot is a Central American species of parrot. Not to be confused with the Red-spectacled Amazon Parrot.
The White-fronted Amazon is relatively small when compared to other Amazons. At maturity this species will grow to a typical length of only nine to ten inches. This species is named for the bright white patch of feathers which is seen on their foreheads, although the amount of white varies from individual to individual. They have green plumage throughout, red coloring around their eyes (in some individuals almost like a mask) and blue coloring on their outspread wings and behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Unlike other amazon species, males and females can be distinguished by appearance (sexual dimorphism): males have bright red feathers on their shoulders (alula), while females have green shoulders. The species is divided into three subspecies, differentiated by slight colour differences: the White-fronted Amazon (A. a. albifrons), the Lesser White-fronted Amazon (A. a. nana) and the Sonora White-fronted Amazon (A. a. saltuensis). Like other large parrots, the White-fronted Parrot has a long life span, usually around 40 years when properly cared for. They also can imitate a range from 30 to 40 different sounds.

CASTELLANO
El loro frente blanca, frentiblanco, amazona frente blanca o cotorra (Amazona albifrons) es una especie de loro endémico de América Central.
A pesar de que el loro frente blanca tiene un tamaño promedio cuando se le compara al resto de los loros, es relativamente más pequeño cuando se le compara a otros pertenecientes al género Amazona. Esta especie se desarrolla hasta alcanzar, en la madurez, una talla típica de solo 22 a 25 cm. Recibe su nombre por la mancha blanca brillante que se le observa en la frente, a pesar de que la cantidad de blanco varía de un individuo a otro. Tienen plumaje verde en todo el cuerpo, con un anillo rojo alrededor de los ojos (en algunos individuos forma casi una “máscara”) y plumas azules visibles al desplegar las alas y detrás de la mancha blanca de la frente.
A diferencia de otras especies de amazonas, existe dimorfismo sexual (machos y hembras pueden ser diferenciados a simple vista): Los machos presentan plumas color rojo brillante en la alula, mientras que las hembras no la poseen o se distingue muy poco. Esta especie se divide en tres subespecies diferenciadas por cambios menores de color: el loro frente blanca (A. a. albifrons), El loro frente blanca menor (A. a. nana) y el loro frente blanca de Sonora (A. a. saltuensis). Como la mayoría de los loros mayores, el loro frente blanca tiene un período de vida bastante largo, comúnmente alrededor de 50 años o mas.

"...on the floor of his room."
Besides attending a class today and writing reports, I spent the afternoon at a friend's house. We talked a lot and she put on some Eddie Izzard. It was fun. :)
I've been tagged. By Trixiepix. And just when I thought I'd wrap up the day and lay my thoughts to sleep... :)
Here we go:
#01 I (used to) change interests on a daily basis, so keeping up with 365 is sometimes a real pain the butt, but I'm determined to stick to, to prove myself I can go through with something - not just drop the idea before I've REALLY given it a go.
#02 I'm a pervert, I'm a poet, I'm a romantic soul.
I really like weird (and I do mean weird, Necrophilia variations is right up my alley) books and movies and music.
#03 When going out for a drink, I usually drink coffee, or during the winter, black tea, vanilla flavoured.
#04 I adore chocolate. The kind with 50 or more percent of cocoa. The bitterness tastes so sweet to me. :) Also, I like chocolate with chili peppers.
#05 Like Trixiepics, I get a kick out of organizing things. On my computer. Into folders and zip files and partitions and so on and so forth...
#06 I like to look at people. Not in a voyeur kind of way, I just like to look at people when I walk past them, to see their faces, to see what they're wearing, how fast they are walking. It interests me. :)
#07 I (used to) usually give up, if the results were not perfect the first time. I had to learn to deal with mistakes.
#08 REMOVED
#09 The first time I did a snow angel was a couple of days ago.
#10 I adore the feeling of fresh, clean hands. I just love it. It feels wonderful. :)
#11 My memory is like swiss cheese, but without the cheese. This is one of the reasons I began 365. To have something to remember ALL of the days by.
#12 I'd like to improve my photos, but lately I don't take enough time to produce results I'd be really proud of. Shame on me.
#13 Lately most of what I wear is black. Last year I was sort of getting into really coloured stuff, but this year I mostly go for black. (Except this one outfit I wear at home - yellow sweatshirt and red pants.)
#14 I thought for sure I wouldn't get tagged. :)
#15 I really like the 80's Yugoslavian punk/new wave scene. There's something about that era that I find so alluring I can't even say. The music, the rebel attitude. (Those days, there actually was something to rebel about. Nowadays, you can do almost whatever you like, so being a rebel these days is pretty much pointless.)
#16 I don't like sports. I don't like to do them. I don't like to watch. I was always absolutely horrible at team sports. The only exception is running. I like that, because sometimes that's when I'm most alone and have all my thoughts to myself.
Done! Woo-hoo! :)
That was a lot of text. Probably the longest description I'll ever write. :)
This was day fifty-seven.
www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 --- Turkey, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour ---- www.vianobilis.com/amarok-adventure-world-7e5 ---- Amarok Adventure World ---- Selge (griechisch Σέλγη) war eine antike Stadt in der kleinasiatischen Landschaft Pisidien beim heutigen Altınkayaköy (früher Zerk) (Türkei). Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.
The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.
At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]
The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.
Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley

Trithigmostoma algivora no puede esconder lo que dice la parte sencilla de su nombre, que se alimenta de algas, y que de un intenso color verde tiñen su interior.
Trithigmostoma es un ciliado pequeño y nervioso, muy parecido a Chilodonella, género del que fue hermano y del que se diferencia por poseer una hilera de cilios en la parte dorsal delanatera. Trithigmostoma tiene forma ovada y una especie de pico redondeado en su parte anterior y en cuya proximidad se abre una pequeña boca en forma de ojal que se prolonga en una corta faringe reforzada por unos bastoncillos similares a los de Nassula.
.
Se mueve deslizándose y dando giros continuos, succionando el agua en la que pudieran estar las algas de las que se alimenta y parece que lo hace con éxito a la vista de lo que se ve que contiene su interior.
Trithigmostoma algivora vive en aguas cargadas de materia orgánica y procede de unas muestras de agua recogidas en la Laguna Grande, junto a la localidad zamorana de Ricobayo y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

History: The A-26, the last aircraft designated as an "attack bomber," was designed to replace the Douglas A-20 Havoc/Boston. It incorporated many improvements over the earlier Douglas designs. The first three XA-26 prototypes first flew in July 1942, and each was configured differently: Number One as a daylight bomber with a glass nose, Number Two as a gun-laden night-fighter, and Number Three as a ground-attack platform, with a 75-millimeter cannon in the nose. This final variant, eventually called the A-26B, was chosen for production.
Upon its delivery to the 9th Air Force in Europe in November 1944 (and the Pacific Theater shortly thereafter), the A-26 became the fastest US bomber of WWII. The A-26C, with slightly-modified armament, was introduced in 1945. The A-26s combat career was cut short by the end of the war, and because no other use could be found for them, many A-26s were converted to JD-1 target tugs for the US Navy.
A strange aircraft-designation swap occurred in 1948, when the Martin B-26 Marauder was deactivated and the Douglas A-26 was re-designated the B-26. (It kept this designation until 1962.) B-26s went on to serve extensively in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. In Vietnam, they were commonly used in the Counter-Insurgency (COIN) role, with very heavy armament and extra power. This version, the B-26K, was based in Thailand and was, to confuse things further, called the A-26 for political reasons. B-26s were also used for training, VIP transport, cargo, night reconnaissance, missile guidance and tracking, and as drone-control platforms.
Post-war uses of the airplane included luxurious executive transport (Smith Tempo I; Tempo II and Biscayne 26; LAS Super-26; Berry Silver-Sixty; Monarch-26; On-Mark Marketeer/Marksman), aerial surveying and, most notably, firefighting, a role in which it is still occasionally used today.

Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Staurastrum, es alga estrellada y espinosa y siempre es alga de equilibrios y simetría como todas las de esta familia de los désmidos que incluye lunas, estrellas y gemas llenas de vida, lunas como Closterium, estrellas como Staurastrum,y gemas como Cosmarium. Todas ellas tienen algo en común algo que va más allá de su simetría y sus formas sorprendentes, todas ellas tienen en común su belleza.
Staurastrum gracile extiende su cuerpo en brazos largos para sujetarse en el agua, brazos provistos de rugosidades y pequeñas espinas para poder anclarse así entre los tallos y filamentos de otras algas y no ser arrastrada por el agua.
Llega ya el invierno y a Staurastrum gracile no le intimida, parece ser para él estación propia para la vida y por eso se multiplica partiéndose por la mitad y reconstruyéndose en sus dos nuevas mitades. Pero aunque Staurastrum se parte, no se separa de momento, sigue creciendo al mismo tiempo en sus dos mitades nuevas que unidas seguirán flotando en armonía hasta completar su desarrollo y cuando esto ocurra, entonces sí, se independizarán, llenando con su vida de estrellas las lagunas de invierno.
Staurastrum gracile es una especie muy difundida que ocupa los bordes de los lagos y lagunas de aguas limpias en las que habita. El de hoy, procede de las lagunas de Salburúa en Vitoria y ha sido fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia

The Old Timers Mine and Museum opens a window on the fascinating history of opal mining in Coober Pedy, revealing not only the hard physical grind and the occasional bonanza that was mining in the early days, but also an intriguing mystery at the heart of the mine.
oldtimerThe original mine dates back to 1916, but the old miners, whoever they were, concealed its existence by back-filling the shafts. The mystery is why they never returned to dig out the opal that remained. Perhaps they went to the First World War and never came home again. It was not until 1968 that the hidden mine was discovered by Ron Gough when he was digging an extension to his underground home and broke through, exposing three large seams of good quality opal, as well as opalised seashells. These have been retained and can be seen by visitors today.
The museum shows how miners, usually working alone, would dig the shafts and blast holes and winch the dug soil up to the surface, all by hand, with only candles and carbine lamps for illumination. Ron Gough was one of these miners, and it was he who realized the potential for opening the mine as a tourist attraction, his dugout (his family’s underground home) was added, being set up as a display home to show what life was like living underground from the 1920s to the 1990s.
There were many setbacks, including, in the 70s, another miner pegging a claim and blasting away, reaching the bedroom before he was stopped by court order. However, delays were eventually windlass2overcome and, with the fortuitous discovery of opal worth $50,000 just when finances were desperate, the Old Timers Mine and Museum began operating on 7th July 1987. Since then it has never looked back. Now it is one of the premier tourist attractions in Coober Pedy, having won many tourist awards for its ingenious self-guided mine tours through this historical mine (with guides written in many languages), the demonstrations of opal mining machinery and the chance for visitors to find their own piece of opal by noodling through the left over mullock heaps. Polished opal and rock specimens and opal jewellery and souvenirs are, of course, on show in the gift shop. What makes this visit to the Old Timers Mine and Museum unique for many people is seeing how miners and their families lived and worked underground.

Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Oh oh oh ohhhh
You don't have to believe me,
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger,
I might have to bend it back
or break it break it off
whoa
next time you point a finger
I hope it's at the mirror.
If God's the game you're playing, then we must get more acquainted,
It must be so lonely... to be the only one who's holy

You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you."

LR-19158 - Hovertravel have been running a commercial public transport service for some 45 years, flying across the Solent in under ten minutes. As a personal note, the service here is second to none, you are treated like a paying customer, with hello's, thank you's and updated if there are any issues; other services are available but without good old customer service.
The concept of the Hovercraft designed by Sir Christopher Cockerell whilst at Saunders Roe (who designed and built the Flying boats), later he worked for Westland's, where the Hovercraft was developed commercially with C.H. Latimer-Needham famous for adding the skirt!
The crossing takes about ten minutes and another 10 or so to be connected to the fast London trains. The steps are used for passengers to board or exit the craft and there is always someone close at hand to help you on or off, take your luggage etc. Next quickest service is around 25 minutes, which tends to be 30/35 minutes.

Shasta Daisy is a perennial garden plant, growing up to 2-3 ft tall. It grows into a bushy clump with foliage spreading about 18 inches across. Shasta daisies bloom over a long period from early summer to autumn with happy bright white flowerheads borne singly atop long green stems. The flower- heads are 2-5 in across with snow white ray flowers and golden yellow discs. The foliage grows in a mat with glossy dark green leaves 8-12 in long arranged in a basal rosette. The leaves are strap shaped, nearly evergreen, and rather thick. There are smaller leaves on the erect flowering stems. The names Shasta daisy has an interesting origin. This daisy was created by Luther Burbank in 1890 in his experimental garden under the shadow of Mt. Shasta in northern California. He crossed L. maximum from the Spanish Pyrenees with C. lacustre from Portugal. Formerly classified in the genus Chrysanthemum, these daisies were transferred to their own genus of Leucanthemum because they lack some traits of true Chrysanthemums. Shasta daisies are characterized by a distinct and unpleasant odor, which makes them unusual amongst flowers.

My small entry in the Pillage the Village II.
After surviving twenty long years on the high seas, three mutinies (two of them he instigated), and being stranded on a desert island five times Captain Brickbeard has decided to retire and give up his life of plundering and pillaging -- well semi-retire, you can never have enough plundering in your life. ;-)
So to fund his retirement Brickbeard takes his "loyal" crew to Skull Mountain, a location known only to him, to retrieve his ill gotten gains.
Many have tried to find Skull Mountain and a few have even succeeded. Yet none have been able to possess the mounds of gold and treasure that lies within the heart of the mountain. All who have tried have met a grisly fate.
For Skull Mountain is also the home of a colony Gigantic Man-eating Spiders that owe their allegiance to Brickbeard. He alone can quell their man-eating tendencies and safely trespass on their land.
Brickbeard plans to load his fleet with the gold and leave all but his most trusted men to the fate of the Spiders.
The Spiders themselves have other plans however. They have begun to think of the gold and jewels as theirs.
The Storm may have passed, but for Brickbeard, another may soon be on the horizon . . .
Recently returned from two days spent at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and this is one of many photos I took while there. We stayed at the historic El Tovar Hotel, situated just along the rim - what a great location! I hadn't been to the Grand Canyon in 15 years and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the breath-taking landscapes once again.
INFORMATION ON THE GRAND CANYON:
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six million year period. The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. The canyon began in the west, followed by another that formed in the east. Eventually, the two broke through and met as a single majestic rent in the earth some six million years ago. The merger apparently occurred where the river today bends to the west, in the area known as the Kaibab Arch.
Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
The Grand Canyon is a massive rift in the Colorado Plateau that exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata, and is also one of the six distinct physiographic sections of the Colorado Plateau province. The Grand Canyon is unmatched throughout the world for the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. It is not the deepest canyon in the world — Cotahuasi Canyon (11598 feet or 3535 m) and Colca Canyon (10499 feet or 3200 m), both in Arequipa, Peru, and Hells Canyon (7,993 feet or 2436 m) on the Oregon-Idaho border, are all deeper — but Grand Canyon is known for its overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.
About 600 deaths have occurred in the Grand Canyon since the 1870s. Some of these deaths occurred as the result of overly zealous photographic endeavors, some were the result of airplane collisions within the canyon, and some visitors drowned in the Colorado River. Many hikers overestimate their fitness level, become dehydrated and confused, and must be rescued. The Park Service now posts a picture of an attractive and fit young man at several trailheads with the caption "Every year we rescue hundreds of people from the Canyon. Most of them look like him", in an attempt to discourage hikers from feats which are beyond their abilities.
According to Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon, 50 fatalities have resulted from falls; 65 deaths were attributable to environmental causes, including heat stroke, cardiac arrest, dehydration, and hypothermia; 7 were caught in flash floods; 79 were drowned in the Colorado River; 242 perished in airplane and helicopter crashes (128 of them in the 1956 disaster mentioned below); 25 died in freak errors and accidents, including lightning strikes and rock falls; 47 committed suicide; and 23 were the victims of homicides.

According to Wikipedia, the Clouded Leopard is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China, and has been classified as vulnerable since 2008 by IUCN. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults. The clouded leopard is considered to form an evolutionary link between the big cats and the small cats. The Sunda Clouded Leopard found on Sumatra and Borneo is genetically distinct and has been considered a separate species since 2006. Both species are the smallest of the big cats, and are not closely related to the leopard. Clouded Leopards weigh between 25 and 51 lbs (11.5 - 23 kg). Females vary in head-to-base-of-tail length from 27 to 37 inches (69 - 94cm), with a tail 24 to 32 inches (61 - 81cm) long. Males are larger at 32 to 43 inches (81 - 109cm) with a tail 29 to 36 inches (74 - 91cm) long. Their shoulder height varies from 20 to 22 inches (51 - 56cm). They have exceptionally long, piercing canine teeth, the upper being about three times as long as the basal width of the socket. The upper pair of canines may measure 1.6 inches (4cm) or longer. They are often referred to as a “modern-day saber tooth” because they have the largest canines in proportion to their body size, matching the tiger in the length of their canines.
Toneel - Performance - The Asaro Mudmen
Een jong paar vindt een vruchtbaar stukje grond om te bewerken. De lokale mensen willen de 'landrovers' verjagen. In de nacht komen strijders uit de rivier geklauterd, hun lichaam volledig onder de modder. Ze zetten ook een moddermasker op. Al dansend komen ze muisstil rond het koppel geslopen. Die zijn plotseling verrast en denken dat dit boze geesten zijn. Vliegensvlug lopen ze weg... de dorpsclan heeft hun grond terug!
We see the story about a couple who had been stolen a peace of ground.
The Asarao Mudmen come from just outside the town of Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea.
Legend has it that the mudmen were defeated by an opposing tribe and forced to flee into the Asaro River. They waited until dusk before attempting to escape. The enemy saw them arise from the muddy banks covered in mud and thought they were spirits. Most tribes in Papua New Guinea are very scared of spirits, so the enemy fled in fear, and the Asaro Mudmen were victorious. The Mudmen then went into the town to see what had happened, not knowing the enemy were still there. The enemy were so terrified they ran back to their town and had a special ceremony to ward off the spirits.
Quiapo Church, officially known as Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a Roman Catholic church located in the District of Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928. Also known as St. John the Baptist Parish, the church at present belongs to the Archdiocese of Manila. The current rector is Rev. Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, who succeeded Msgr. Josefino Ramirez (the Vicar General of the archdiocese) upon the latter's appointment as rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Maysilo, Mandaluyong City.
The Quiapo Church holds a weekly novena every Friday and a procession every year on January 9 devoted to the Black Nazarene. Both are attended by thousands of devotees. Many sick people come to see the Black Nazarene, hoping that getting a chance to pray in front of its miraculous image would heal their sicknesses.
A HOT DAY IN TUCSON:
To escape the heat of 110+ degrees in the valley in Tucson, Arizona, on June 17, 2007 we drove up to the nearly 8,000 ft. elevation of Mount Lemon, where the temperature plumeted to 78 in the 40 minutes it took to drive to the top. This is a photo I took at Windy Vista Point about halfway up the mountain. You can see the road we traveled up through the mountains, and in the far distance the city of Tucson. It was a spectacular view at Windy Vista Point for we could see the city of Tucson sprawled out in the valley below, and the mountains of Sonora, Mexico in the far distance.
I lived south of Tucson from 1984 until 1999 (in Green Valley, Amado and Sahuarita) and worked in Nogales and Tucson for several years before moving to Washington DC. This photo was taken on my the first trip back to Tucson in over 8 years... it sure was sure nice to see the "old pueblo" again and the beauty of the desert, mountains and wide open spaces of the beautiful State of Arizona.
INFORMATION ON MOUNT LEMMON:
Mount Lemmon is in the Santa Catalina Mountains located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, AZ. It is 9,157 feet above sea-level, and receives approximately 180 inches of snow annually. Mount Lemmon was named in honor of Sarah Lemmon, wife of botanist John Gill Lemmon, who trekked to the top of the mountain with her husband in 1881.
A small town called Summerhaven is on the mountain, which includes many cabins only occupied part of the year. Much of this town was devastated by the Aspen Fire of 2003, and recovery is still taking place. It is near Ski Valley which is the southernmost ski destination in the continental United States.
The location 'Windy Point' was built by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, using a large number of prisoners over a period of 18 years.
The Catalina Highway goes from the east side of Tucson up to Summerhaven, at the top of Mt. Lemmon. The beautiful, curving road is a favorite drive for tourists, for locals escaping summer's heat, for motorcyclists, and cyclists. The highway has been improved recently, but the speed limit has also been lowered to 35 MPH (56 km/h) due to concerns about the highway's safety during peak traffic times.

I’ve lost them.
I was away for 3 weeks and returned to a shell that left nary a sign of its past existence.
Only 3 weeks ago, I was standing in the living/bedroom with an old woman while she watched television from her couch. I had walked up to the second floor with a low attic where the son slept, that had a narrow window looking out to towering corporate buildings.
I planned to return with photos for them and inquire more about their new home that supposedly had new toilets and better electricity fixtures.
But I took for granted that they would be there when I returned. After all, they did say that they were holding out to the end when the place would be flattened in December.

Update: Adam over at Shanghai Scrap has been writing lot on the accelerating demolition of historic architecture in Hongkou District, the latest of which looked at East Seward Road (now known as Dong Changzhi Lu). He links to Paul French who has also written extensively about the now flattened East Seward Road and Hongkou here and here.
