Its sometimes hard to be a farmer,
Nice outside, but the next few days it will be tropical, Then the ladies stay inside, It's cooler there,
Then in the evening and night into the meadow.
It is no fun for humans and animals, that heat,
Only my Camel Josphine, enjoy the heat
and the drought is also becoming a problem again.
Hope the rain comes soon.

De mis paseos diarios, lo mejor es disfrutar de la vista, del olfato y del oído. La naturaleza te sorprende siempre gratamente. Y la mente vuela allá donde tu quieres.
The best of my daily walks is to enjoy sight, smell and hearing. Nature always pleasantly surprises you. And the mind flies where you want.
Le meilleur de mes promenades quotidiennes est de profiter de la vue, de l'odorat et de l'ouïe. La nature vous surprend toujours agréablement. Et l'esprit vole où tu veux.
La sterne qui vole après le soleil...
Cette espèce détient le record de la plus grande distance parcourue lors de sa migration. Nichant en arctique et hivernant en antarctique, c'est un voyage de 70 000km par an qu'elle entreprend (le record connu étant de 81 600km).
Elle ne migre pas en ligne droite mais tire parti des ressources qu'elle peut trouver en chemin. Après la nidification, direction l'Atlantique nord et ses eaux riches en poissons, où elles feront une halte de quelques semaines. Direction ensuite Cap Vert. Là, une partie des sternes continue de suivre la côte africaine, alors que d'autres préfèrent traverser l'océan et suivre la côte d'Amérique du sud. Toutes iront jusqu'en Antarctique, où les longues journées leur permettront de se nourrir 24h/24. Elles y resteront de novembre à avril, avant de remonter vers le nord. Cette fois, elles ne longeront pas les côtes mais voleront au-dessus du grand large. Leur trajectoire peut être dessinée en formant un "S" dans l'océan Atlantique, ce qui leur permet de profiter des vents dominants et d'arriver plus vite à destination.
Happy New Week Everyone !

Symboles virginaux dans notre inconscient collectif, les oiseaux blancs jouissent auprès de nous d'un capital de sympathie qui puise au plus profond de notre culture, au risque de bousculer la simple logique. S'il était couleur de neige, le cormoran -notre bête noire au propre comme au figuré- se verrait sans doute largement absout des crimes dont on l'accuse. Inversement, à régime piscivore équivalent, l'opprobre serait sans doute le lot d'une aigrette au plumage anthracite ! Mais la nature ayant opté chez elle pour la couleur blanche, la voici unanimement tenue à l'écart de notre critique. Traduits dans les faits, ces bons sentiments ont valu à l'aigrette de figurer dès 1962 dans la liste des espèces intégralement protégées en France... Ce dont elle profite amplement depuis pour grignoter des espaces neufs.

The NSSR ran a storage move yesterday using DM&IR 193 and GN 400. Missabe caboose C-205 was used as a shoving platform and became a stranded asset until the empty coal train is pulled out early next year. This was the third of four coal sets being temporally stored on the line for Detroit Edison. Duluth - 12/16/19

Formerly EXPO '86
Telus World of Science/ Formerly the Expo'86 Centre
Vancouver, BC Canada
Science World at Telus World of Science, is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization.
This geodesic dome ( golf ball shaped ) building was constructed for Expo '86. It was opened in 1985 as the Expo preview center and became the Expo '86 World's Fair Centre.
The height is 155 feet tall with a foundation of reinforced steel in a cement slab.
The dome is supported by 182 piles
There are 391 lights and 766 triangles on the Science World dome.
Constructed using 15,000 pounds of extruded aluminium and aluminium panels on the dome. The panels are 1 mm thick and are covered with a vinyl surface.
Science World has a total building area of 10,220 square metres and a total exhibit area of 4,275 square metres. The building’s volume is 36,790 cubic metres.
The air-conditioning system uses chilled water for cooling and gas-fired boilers for heating.
The OMIMAX Theatre seats 400 people
The screen is 27 metres in diameter. The theatre’s sound system uses high-fidelity, six-channel, two-way sound with sub-bass to create an unparalleled surround sound experience.
I read that the 15,000 watt xenon lamp that lights the movie screen is so bright that if it was placed on the surface of the moon and focused it at a spot on Earth, you would actually see its light.
The dome in this image was lit in red in honor of Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.

Le terme « SNIPER PHOTOGRAPHIQUE » désigne un photographe qui utilise des techniques de photographie à distance pour capturer des images de manière précise et discrète. Ces photographes sont souvent équipés de matériel sophistiqué, comme des objectifs à longue portée, qui leur permettent de prendre des photos nettes de sujets éloignés sans attirer l'attention. Ils travaillent généralement dans des environnements où la discrétion est essentielle, comme lors d'événements privés ou lorsque leur présence pourrait déranger le sujet. Ils adoptent une approche méthodique et cherchent à capturer le moment parfait sans perturber la scène …
------------------
À l'inverse, les PAPARAZZI sont des photographes spécialisés dans la capture d'images de célébrités dans leur vie quotidienne. Leur approche est souvent intrusive, à la recherche de clichés sensationnels à vendre aux médias. Les paparazzi utilisent également un équipement sophistiqué, mais leur objectif principal est de capturer des moments privés ou embarrassants, ce qui soulève des questions éthiques quant à la vie privée des personnes photographiées. Ils sont souvent perçus comme des intrus qui exploitent la célébrité de leurs sujets à des fins lucratives …
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
The term 'PHOTOGRAPHIC SNIPER' REFERS to a photographer who uses remote photography techniques to capture images accurately and discreetly. These photographers are often equipped with sophisticated equipment, such as long-range lenses, which enable them to take sharp pictures of distant subjects without attracting attention. They tend to work in environments where discretion is essential, such as private events or situations where their presence might disturb the subject. Their approach is often methodical, seeking to capture the perfect moment without disturbing the scene...
------------------
In contrast, PAPARAZZI are photographers who specialise in capturing images of celebrities in their everyday lives. Their approach is often intrusive, seeking sensational shots that can be sold to the media. Paparazzi also use sophisticated equipment, but their main aim is to capture private or embarrassing moments, raising ethical questions about the privacy of the people they photograph. They are often perceived as intruders who seek to exploit the celebrity of their subjects for profit...

“Only $2,575,291.” That’s how much GM paid for all of Vauxhall in 1925, according to Alfred P. Sloan in his book, My Years With General Motors. Small stuff for GM, “only a kind of experiment in overseas manufacturing.”
But for Vauxhall, and for Britain, it was the beginning of the end of an era. GM’s acquisition of the small company – Vauxhall never made more than 1500 cars a year – would bring profits to the Luton-based firm, but it would also mean the end of a great Edwardian-era sportster and one of the best British sports cars of the ‘20s, the Vauxhall 30/98.
The 30/98 was the final iteration of a theme that Vauxhall’s Chief Engineer, Lawrence Pomeroy, Sr., (father of noted British auto writer) had begun with the three-liter Prince Henry in 1910. Named for the European trials in which it had first success, the Prince Henry’s engine was enlarged to four liters in 1912-13 in response to competition. That was good, but not enough for some. When one John Higginson asked Pomeroy for a faster Shelsey Walsh hillclimber, Pomeroy enlarged the bore of the four-cylinder engine by three mm and lengthened the stroke by five mm – by cold stretching the crank with a steam power hammer!
Blacksmith engineering completed, the now 4.5 liter engine went into a Prince Henry frame, and Higginson went out and set a record at Shelsey Walsh the first time out. As sure as you can say “Race on Sunday sell on Monday,” a whole lot of folks were beating a path to Bedfordshire for what he was having over there.
A lot is relatively speaking. Only 18 of this new model, christened the 30/98 (for no known reason; the numbers match neither tax nor horsepower), were made before The Great War. The limited production numbers have more than something to do with the chassis price of the 30/98 being £900 while the standard Prince Henry, also in production, cost only £580.
After the war, the 30/98 took over as the “E-type” which, fixed-head engine and all, was guaranteed to do 100 mph in chassis form. In fact, all 30/98s, from the beginning to the end, came with the promise that if the buyer wished, the factory would certify that ability with the customer’s own car.
The E-type was succeeded in turn by the OE-type, which was more different than a simple addition of a letter would suggest. It was drawn not by Pomeroy, whose overhead cam design was rejected after which he left for the U.S., but by one C.E. King. Instead of the E-type’s exposed valves and valve springs, the OE was an overhead valve design with very large valves. Where the E-type made 90 BHP at 3000 rpm (very good for a pre-war design), the OE produced around 115 bhp with revs raised to 3300 RPM. The engine speed was made possible in part by the use of aluminum connecting rods, advanced for 1922, and also by a reduction of the stroke by 10 mm, though the latter was done mainly to keep hood height down. The OE, though, displaced only 4224 cc, and traditionalists preferred the torquier earlier model. Oh well.
The innovation of front brakes came in 1923, though these were cable-operated off a foot pedal which also activated a transmission brake. The meat of the stopping chore was done by the rear brakes, applied by a large lever mounted outside the car itself. Hydraulics came soon after, but only for the foot brake, the cable system being retained for the rears.
Most 30/98s came with either four-seater Velox or Wensum bodywork, the latter in a handsome nautical style. Only one was known to be bodied in the U.S., that a rumble-seat roadster built by the Durham Body Co. of Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania firm started making carriages in 1887 and expired in the’ 50s after being reduced to making luxury conversions, but in 1926 was well known for the quality automotive coachwork it supplied. The 30/98 Register has no record of the original owner, the registrar David Marsh surmises that the car was shipped from the factory with no body but with fenders and the Vauxhall hallmark fluted hood and radiator.
Ralph Stein wrote of what is probably this car in his book The Great Cars. It was owned by Ray Gilhooly, who sold used foreign cars in New York (though he is best known for the spectacular spin he performed at Indianapolis and that now carries his name). Stein almost bought the car, but presumably it instead went to a J. Frost who began to restore the car but only took it apart. Bought by New York collector Gardener King after World War II, it was finally rebuilt. In the mid-60s it was sold to W.H. Lane, who in turn sold it in 1986 to Charles Mallory of New York City.
The Vauxhall is now, as it always was, a very long legged machine, its booming exhaust chasing it up to an easy 70 mph and beyond. With right-hand drive, the gearshift is near the driver’s right knee. It’s a solid affair which feels as if it was machined from a billet. It isn’t easy to change gears, the non-synchro box wanting double clutching going up as well as down. It’s best just to short shift, matching gear speeds at lower rpm and relying on the engine’s thunder to bring up the speed.
Though light for the era, the steering does take some shoulder to start the almost 3000-pound car turning, though once set into a turn the 32×4.5 Dunlop’s cling with surprising tenacity. Nor does the chassis betray their effort. Brakes are the weak link, the foot brake pulling the car from side to side, though once the drums are warmed the handbrake is quite effective. The trick is not to forget to reach for the handbrake while also remembering that the Vauxhall also has a center throttle, with the brake on the right. If you have to stop right now, what is it one grabs or stomps or…? Speed, though, was the 30/98’s trump: At Brooklands alone some 27 firsts, 28 seconds, and 14 thirds were counted by 1926. It is a tribute to the quality of the Vauxhall 30/98 that one came in fourth in the first Watkins Glen Grand Prix in 1949.
Production of the 30/98 continued after GM bought Vauxhall, but GM had other plans. Vauxhall was to become a volume producer of cars that Alfred Sloan understood: ones that made money. If not history. The 604th and last 30/98 was completed early in 1927. But even today, British enthusiasts debate Bentley versus vintage Vauxhall. It was just that kind of car.
