Scottish Creel Fishing
Creel fishing is a profitable, species-selective and environmentally sustainable form of fishing with very little by-catch. Target species are brought to the surface alive and undamaged, meaning that egg bearing ‘berried’ females or undersized animals can be returned to the sea. The carbon footprint (in particular fuel consumption) is minimal compared to other methods of fishing as the majority of boats are small and fish relatively close to shore.
Creel fishing takes place around Scotland’s coast. Creeling, and the many shore based services that rely on it, are often the main source of employment in fragile rural communities. The boats that make up the inshore creel fishery are small - usually under 10 metres long- which means that engine size and weather dictate how far from shore, and how often they can fish. One or two people normally crew a creel boat, one of whom is usually the owner. There were 1042 active creel fishing boats in Scotland in 2011. The main markets for the shellfish caught are on the European continent.

He was born 30 December 1869 at Swanmore, county of Hampshire, England.
In 1876 he emigrated to Canada with his family and settled on a farm near the hamlet of Egypt, south of Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe.
Leacock was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto. He completed a degree in modern languages at the University of Toronto in 1891.
Inspired by Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, he enrolled at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in political economy and political science under Veblen in 1903.
Concurrently he joined the Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University, Montreal.
In 1906 he published his first and most profitable book: Elements of Political Science, a university textbook. Twenty-seven other books of non-fiction followed.
In 1908 he became head of his department at McGill, helped found the University Club and began developing Old Brewery Bay.
The first of his thirty-five books of humour, Literary Lapses was published in 1910. Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town followed in 1912 and in 1914 Arcadian Adventures of the Idle Rich.
Leacock was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1919 and in 1921 made an extensive lecture tour of the United Kingdom. In 1935 he received the Mark Twain Medal. He retired from McGill in 1936.
Stephen Butler Leacock died 28 March 1944 at Toronto from throat cancer and was buried, across the lake from Old Brewery Bay, in the Leacock family plot at St. George’s Church, Sibbald Point.
Our walk in the woods proved to be profitable...I chose this capture above as my main shot (more below in comments) because I loved that the mushrooms had pushed the bark aside to emerge... it's pure poetry!
If you have not had the chance to view the mushroom article please go take a look, I think Patrick Robinson did a wonderful job and the mushrooms finally get the due respect that they deserve! I had a great time being interviewed by him too...(: Thank you so much to my wonderful contacts who have left comments under the article itself, it's greatly appreciated...HUGS!! m-
For the next few days I'll be posting some early New York, Susquehanna & Western Northern Division photos.
I grew up next to the Utica Branch of the Erie Lackawanna then Conrail during most of my school years. In April of 1982 during the great Conrail "un-profitable" branch spin off, it was sold/leased to the NYS&W along with the Syracuse Branch.
If I weren't in school, not much could escape me.
Such is the case on this day when the first revenue NYS&W train rolled north through Norwich, NY passing the old crossing watch tower at Front Street, now the Chateau Pigeon Coop.
Growing asparagus, strawberries and hops is profitable. However, for all of these plants, special "devices" are needed to grow them in Lower Bavaria. Here, I have portrayed three of them, namely foil tunnels, foil greenhouses and rod assemblies needed to grow hops. These are some examples of the way of farming I see nearby and I am often thinking about my objectives of taking pictures. I decided, not to ignore these kinds of landscapes and to develop a special kind of poesy. Definitely, these images are not as "nice" as sunsets, but part of our life.

The sun sets on Yard 5 at the Illinois Railway Museum on Labor Day Weekend 2020. This would be the first night of extended operations that IRM would conduct in 2020, having had to close down for half of the operating season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown forced the cancellation of all special events thru Labor Day, including their biggest and most profitable events, the two-weekend "Day Out With Thomas The Tank Engine."

Just to the east of Glasgow Cathedral, beyond the course of the (now culverted) Molindinar Burn stands a rocky hill. In 1651 this was purchased by Glasgow's Merchants' House (a powerful grouping of the city's merchants) and, after being planted with fir trees, became known as Fir Park. In 1831 the Merchants' House agreed that the land would be more profitably used as Glasgow's version of the world-famous Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Fir Park therefore became the Glasgow Necropolis.
Over the years since then, some 50,000 people have been buried at the Necropolis, in around 3,500 tombs that extend anything up to 14 feet below the ground and which, on the rocky upper parts of the Necropolis, had to be excavated with the aid of blasting powder.
The monuments that mark these tombs, especially in the upper parts of the Necropolis, are a tribute to the disposable wealth available - at least to some - in Victorian Glasgow, many being built on a vast scale. The result is an outdoor museum of the work of most of the leading Scottish architects of the day, as monuments compete for attention with their intricate detail and in many cases, sheer size.
Extensions to the area of the Necropolis in the latter half of the 1800s led to it reaching an overall size of 37 acres or 15 hectares (rather under a third of the size of the Père Lachaise Cemetery). In 1966 the Merchants' House gave the Necropolis to Glasgow City Council. The council cleared it of many grave surrounds and ornamental benches that both cluttered the Necropolis and made maintenance and upkeep more difficult.
Today the Necropolis is partrolled by Park Rangers, guided tours are available, and Glasgow Necropolis is high on the list of "must visit" attractions in central Glasgow, both as an object of interest in its own right, and as a viewpoint over much of the rest of the city: the views of Glasgow Cathedral are especially good from here.
The hilly and heavily vegetated landscape, and the city centre location, must make maintenance and upkeep of the Necropolis quite a challenge: and it is true that some monuments sprout vegetation; a few bear graffiti; and some have either collapsed or sport "Danger, Keep Out" signs. But despite this, the overall feel of the Necropolis is intriguing and, though it may sound odd to say it, welcoming. You have to remember that the monuments placed here were intended to be looked at and appreciated: it was always intended that visitors should come to marvel at the architectural splendour of the monuments (and the wealth of those who paid for them).
Glasgow Necropolis was always intended to be a multi-denominational burial ground, and one of its oddities is that while some of its monuments relate to multiple burials, others are in memory of people who are not buried here at all. The most striking example of the latter category is the tallest monument in the Necropolis, to John Knox. This was actually placed here in 1825, when the area was still a park. A massive column is topped off with a 12ft high statue of John Knox himself. To modern eyes the location seems a little ironic: Knox is facing west, overlooking Glasgow Cathedral, one of the few medieval churches in Scotland not destroyed during the Reformation in which he played such a leading role.

Victory Motorcycles is an American motorcycle manufacturer with its final assembly facility in Spirit Lake, Dickinson County, northern Iowa, United States. It began production of its vehicles in 1998.
Its parent company, Polaris Industries, created the firm following the modern success of Harley-Davidson. Victory's motorcycles are designed to compete directly with Harley-Davidson and similar American-style motorcycle brands, with V-twin engines and touring, sport-touring, and cruiser configurations. The first Victory, the V92C, was announced in 1997 and began selling in 1998. Victory has been profitable since 2002.[1]
Well, here you are. Indiana Harbor Belt. Compact, profitable and in good running condition.
Hammond, Indiana. April 12, 2003
The profitable house belonging to the architect N.P. Basin was built in 1878-1879 according to his own project with the participation of architect N.N. Nikonov. The style of the building is defined as Neo-Russian or pseudo-Russian. The five-story building stands out against the background of the strict architectural ensemble of Ostrovsky Square, the tone to which is set by the Alexandrinsky Theater erected in the era of classicism.
Basin's house, copying the motifs of medieval Russian architecture and folk arts and crafts, is distinguished by its splendor of decor. The facades are made with a lot of details and are generously decorated with stucco, reproducing the decorative motifs of Russian wooden carvings and embroideries. Bay windows are crowned with turrets, various in the design windows are decorated with carved "towels", kokoshniks crowning the cornice and spatterdock pillars.
In the year 2049, while fishing for nuclear delicacies (see last log entry) has become enormously profitable, another old profession has seen a massive rise: Piracy, or, rogue treasure diving.
Equipped with old, small boats dangerously retro-fitted with modern engine systems, cheap respirators and thinly-isolated diving suits, these daring individuals dive headfirst into their potential green-glowing, watery graves.
The now-sunken megacities of once hold a valuable treasure: Life-saving technology - knowledge about solar energy, ways of filtering dirty water, and the like. Though, these modern pirates would certainly not be unhappy at the sight of a treasure chest filled with gold.

The bright dandelion-yellow flowers of oilseed rape have become a familiar sight across farmland in spring across the country. Rapeseed oil has historically fulfilled a useful role as a "break crop" in farm rotation - to suppress weeds and improve soil quality - for cereal crops such as wheat and barley. But whereas in the past the crop has been largely functional - and has not made farmers much money - in recent years it has become hugely profitable. Rapeseed oil is used as diesel fuel, either as biodiesel, straight in heated fuel systems, or blended with petroleum distillates for powering motor vehicles.

The Grade II listed rather photogenic Gwennap United Stamps Engine House was constructed in 1899 30 years after the closure of United Mines. It was erected to house a 34 inch stamps engine for the reworking of the mine dumps as Gwennap United
Click here for more photographs of United Mines: www.jhluxton.com/Industrial-Archaeology/Mines-of-Devon-Co...
United Mines was formed by the amalgamation of Ale and Cakes Mine, Wheal Cupboard, and Poldory around 1780. Located just south of the Great Consolidated Mines in the parish of Gwennap, they border the villages of St. Day and Crofthandy to the west and the Poldice and Carnon valleys to the north. Later, the group expanded to include Wheal Britannia, Wheal Clifford, Wheal Moor, Wheal Squire, Wheal Andrew (also known as Friendship Mines), and Copper Hill Mine.
Little is known of the history of the individual mines of the United Mines group. Poldory was probably active in 1760. It appears to have commenced production as a small scale tin mine and then been combined with other small-scale mines in the area in 1815 under the name of United Mines.
In the early 1820s, John Taylor obtained the lease for abandoned mines in the Gwennap parish. He initially reworked their setts and eventually discovered the world's richest copper lode at that time. By 1822, the Gwennap Mines were already profitable.
At that time, the primary production in the area was copper, with some tin and ochre also being extracted. The materials were transported north to the port of Portreath for smelting in South Wales via the Portreath Tramroad. As the mines grew more profitable, the tramroad owners increased the trans-shipping fees. In response, John Taylor built his own tramway southward through the Carnon Valley to Devoran on the south coast. The Redruth and Chasewater mineral tramway, initially horse-drawn, opened in 1824 and later switched to steam power mid-nineteenth century. The railway was operational for over 90 years, eventually closing in 1915.
Eldon's pumping engine house, also referred to as Little's, housed a 30-inch cylinder pumping engine and dates back to around the 1830s. Its primary function was to pump water from the adit to the surface.
United Mines continued to expand and eventually merged with the adjacent Consolidated Mines in 1857, forming 'Clifford Amalgamated Mines'. At its zenith, these mines boasted 80 miles of subterranean workings and 22 engines. By 1861, the entire group was incorporated into Great Consolidated as Clifford Amalgamated Mines. From 1835 to 1861, Wheal Clifford extracted 50,167 tons of copper ore at 6.5% purity and 365 tons of black tin. During the same period, the other mines in the United Downs group yielded 347,500 tons of copper ore at 7.5% purity, 250 tons of black tin, 158 tons of arsenic, 1,290 tons of pyrite, and 271 tons of zinc ore.
Declining metal prices ultimately led to the closure of mines around 1870.
From 1899 into the early 20th century the mine dumps were reworked and engines installed for puping water for ore processing as well as for powering stamps.
The area was prospected again in the 1940’s and brief trial mining operations were conducted but no commercial mining took place.
During the monsoon season the Ord River carries 2,500 gigalitres of water a day to the ocean—enough to fill a million olympic-sized swimming pools or five Sydney Harbours. Incredibly, a single day’s flow would be enough to meet the needs of Perth, a city of close on two million people, for ten years.
Prior to the development of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme which included the construction of the Top Dam 50 kilometres upstream from Kununurra, the river was an out-of-control raging torrent in the monsoon season and dwindled to little more than a series of waterholes during the dry winter months.
Economically, the irrigation system has had its teething problems. Despite the abundance of water and the fertile soil, the region is a long way from southern markets and has had to deal with a range of pests and environmental challenges different from those found in other more established agricultural areas of the country. These issues are still being worked out but, without question, the project has put life into the East Kimberley. Not least, it was responsible for establishing the town of Kununurra to service the construction and management of the scheme. Over the past fifty-plus years the town has become a vibrant economic and cultural centre—to say nothing of its role as a highly profitable tourist hub.
And, unlike many other dam projects that have done damage to local environments, the taming of the Ord has resulted in major environmental benefits for the river system. By controlling water flows the project has curbed erosion, fostered the stable growth of native plants along the river banks and increased both the numbers and the diversity of birds, small mammals and other wildlife.

Kodak files for Chapter 11...blah, blah, blah. OK. Apparently film is still at least somewhat profitable for Kodak. All those Lomographers and we Halina users, right? No..... Motion pictures? Yes. For now anyway. I mentioned a while back that late this past year all the major manufacturers of motion picture cameras have for the most part ended production*....ARRI and such. It's true. They've gone digital. It's where all the R&D money is going.
Up side is Hollywood and the like will continue to consume massive amounts of film - much made by Kodak - for production and distribution for a while to come. How long? Your guess as good or better than mine. For now economy of scale can keep Kodak's film division profitable. Unless some diligent mind at Kodak can figure how to best mess that up as well.
And here is Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. I had forgotten how much I like this......anyway.

The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew nut and the cashew apple. It can grow as high as 14 m (46 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.
The cashew nut, often simply called a cashew, is widely consumed. It is eaten on its own, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liquor.
The species is originally native to northeastern Brazil. Major production of cashews occurs in Vietnam, Nigeria, India, and Ivory Coast.
De cashewboom is een tropische groenblijvende boom die de cashewnoot en de cashewappel voortbrengt. Hij kan wel 14 m hoog worden, maar de dwergcashew, die tot 6 m groeit, is meer winstgevend gebleken, met een eerdere rijpheid en hogere opbrengsten.
De cashewnoot, vaak simpelweg cashewnoten genoemd, wordt veel geconsumeerd. Het wordt op zichzelf gegeten, gebruikt in recepten of verwerkt tot cashewkaas of cashewboter. De schil van het cashewnotenzaad levert derivaten op die in veel toepassingen kunnen worden gebruikt, van smeermiddelen tot verven. De cashewappel is een licht roodachtige tot gele vrucht waarvan het vruchtvlees kan worden verwerkt tot een zoete, adstringerende fruitdrank of kan worden gedestilleerd tot likeur.
De soort komt oorspronkelijk uit het noordoosten van Brazilië. De belangrijkste productie van cashewnoten vindt plaats in Vietnam, Nigeria, India en Ivoorkust.
Es también conocido como cajú, anacardo, nuez de la india, castaña de cajú, marañón, caguil o merey es un árbol originario de la región amazónica del nordeste de Brasil y casi toda Venezuela. Muchos de sus componentes son utilizados en la elaboración de productos diversos, como por ejemplo dulces, cosméticos y medicamentos.
O caju é muitas vezes tido como o fruto do cajueiro quando, na verdade, trata-se de um pseudofruto.
O que entendemos popularmente como "caju" se constitui de duas partes: o fruto propriamente dito, que é a castanha; e seu pedúnculo floral, o pseudofruto, um corpo piriforme, amarelo, rosado ou vermelho.
Na língua tupi, acaiu (caju) significa noz que se produz.
Na tradição oral sabe-se que acayu ou aca-iu refere-se a ano, uma vez que os indígenas contavam a idade a cada floração e safra.
O pseudofruto e fruto
Cajueiro frutificando no município de Cascavel, no Ceará, um dos grandes produtores de caju no estado
O caju, o pseudofruto, é suculento e rico em vitamina C e ferro. Depois do beneficiamento do caju, preparam-se sucos, mel, doces, como cajuada, caju passas, rapadura de caju. Como seu suco fermenta rapidamente, pode ser destilado para produzir uma aguardente o cauim. Dele também são fabricadas bebidas não alcoólicas, como a cajuína.
Muito antes do descobrimento do Brasil e antes da chegada dos portugueses, o caju já era alimento básico das populações autóctones. Por exemplo: os tremembé já fermentavam o suco do caju, o mocororó, que era e é bebido na cerimônia do Torém.
Existe uma variedade enorme de pratos feitos com o caju e com a castanha de caju.
De suas fibras (resíduo/bagaço), ricas em aminoácidos e vitaminas, misturadas com temperos, é feita a "carne de caju"
Nó còn được gọi là điều, điều, điều, điều, điều, caguil hoặc chỉ là một loại cây có nguồn gốc từ vùng Amazon phía đông bắc Brazil và gần như toàn bộ Venezuela. Nhiều thành phần của nó được sử dụng trong sản xuất các sản phẩm khác nhau, chẳng hạn như đồ ngọt, mỹ phẩm và thuốc.
Es ist auch bekannt als Cashew, Cashew, Cashew, Cashew, Cashew, Caguil oder Merey. Es ist ein Baum, der im Amazonasgebiet im Nordosten Brasiliens und in fast ganz Venezuela heimisch ist. Viele seiner Komponenten werden zur Herstellung verschiedener Produkte wie Süßigkeiten, Kosmetika und Medikamente verwendet.
Conosciuto anche come anacardi, anacardi, anacardi, anacardi, anacardi, caguil o semplicemente, è un albero originario della regione amazzonica del nord-est del Brasile e di quasi tutto il Venezuela. Molti dei suoi componenti sono utilizzati nella produzione di vari prodotti, come dolci, cosmetici e medicinali.
On l'appelle également noix de cajou, noix de cajou, noix de cajou, noix de cajou, noix de cajou, caguil ou merey.C'est un arbre originaire de la région amazonienne du nord-est du Brésil et de presque tout le Venezuela.

My Summer Joust collab entry. My team mates were Alec and Simon (tagged). Had a lot of fun doing this build!
nrhp # 75001778- The Pigeon Forge Mill is located on land that was originally part of a 151-acre (61 ha) plot of land granted in 1810 to Mordecai Lewis (1751–1817), a Revolutionary War veteran from Virginia. Before his death, Lewis may have erected a tub mill along the river (no longer standing).[2] In 1817, Lewis's son-in-law, Isaac Love, built the iron forge for which the city would eventually be named. Taking advantage of a Tennessee state law that allowed tax incentives for the creation of iron works on unfarmable land, Love acquired over 7,000 acres (2,800 ha) of the surrounding country. Love mined brown hematite ore in the hills northeast of the forge, and transported the ore to the forge using ox-drawn wagons. The forge included a bloomery furnace which converted the ore into pig iron, and a 500-pound (230 kg) trip hammer that molded the pig iron into bar iron.[3]
In 1830, Love and his sons built a large gristmill adjacent to the iron furnace, which was used by local farmers to grind grain.[1] As his iron business was never profitable, Love eventually ceased iron production, and sold the entire operation to Alexander Preston in 1841. On May 29 of that same year, Isaac's son, William, established a post office for the community that had developed around the complex, giving it the name "Pigeon Forge."[3]
Preston operated the Pigeon Forge iron works under the name "Sweden Furnace" until 1849, when he sold the mill and furnace to local businessman John Sevier Trotter (1807–1884). By 1856, Trotter was producing two tons of bar iron annually at the Pigeon Forge furnace.[3] During the U.S. Civil War, Trotter— a Union supporter— installed looms in the mill to furnish uniforms for local Union volunteers (Trotter's son, William, commanded a company at the Battle of Fort Sanders in late 1863).[1][4] After the war, Trotter expanded the mill, most notably adding a 60-rpm, 30-horsepower wooden wheel (the current breastshot wheel was a later addition), and establishing a sawmill at the site.[3] Trotter's son, George, dismantled and sold the iron furnace in 1885, but continued operating the mill.[1]
In December 1900, the Pigeon Forge Mill was purchased by local businessman A.T. Householder. Shortly afterward a generator was installed, providing electricity to the string of houses that occupied the river opposite the mill.[1] The current milldam was completed in 1916.[5] The mill was remodeled several times throughout the 20th century by subsequent owners to cater to the tourist traffic along US-441.

First known as "Lower Crossing", Momence was named after a local Potawatomi, Isadore Moness. Momence was first platted by Dr. Hiram Todd in 1846. It is located on the Kankakee River. In July, 1893, a crew paid for by an appropriation from the neighboring State of Indiana cut a shallow channel not quite a meter deep through a limestone ledge running just east of Momence, which had for millennia partially blocked and restricted the flow of the Kankakee River, making up to that point the Grand Kankakee Marsh, then the nation’s largest inland wetland, possible. The increased river flow, while doing little for the citizens of Illinois, drained thousands of acres of Indiana wetlands, permitting them to be profitably farmed, while destroying most of the Marsh.

In 1983 BCRail finished construction of the 82 mile Tumbler branch line to serve coal mines near Tumbler Ridge BC. The line was the lowest elevated line to cross the Rocky Mountains and as a result of that 2 large tunnels had to be constructed, the Table tunnel at 9 kilometers long and the Wolverine tunnel at 6 kilometers long. Because of this electrification had to be used and was the first in Western Canada and special locomotives and catenary wires were used. The line was never as profitable as expected and by 1990 the line was down to one train a day, in 2000 the electrification was taken down and operations were sporadic into the CN acquisition of the BCR. CN closed, reopened, closed, and reopened the line because of fluctuating coal mined. When I visited Tumbler Ridge I checked out the Wolverine Mine, the only one of three now left in service. Coal was present but not abundant and a large cut of empty coal cars were stored near the mine and had been there for about 2 weeks with no way of being spotted into the load out. I also checked out the Quintet Mine, the last mine at the end of the Tumbler sub, and found that it looked like it was being renovated and being prepared for reactivation. I thought this would be the only action I would see on this line but I was wrong. Just a few days later I found a C762 heading North on the Chetwynd Sub which I thought was odd, I followed it to Tacheeda to see if it would head on the former electrified BCR, that's when I heard them get their clearance on the Tumbler sub. I set up for this shot just east of Wakely, the junction between the Tumbler and Chetwynd subs. The BCR crosses the Table River here and I set up on an abandoned beaver dam. It was a pretty thrilling chase as these trains do 35MPH on this sub and the Table Tunnel access road is less than ideal for driving fast. I chased the train to the Table siding where I found out that this train was simply a storage run to store empty coal cars in the siding at Table, they than proceeded to run light engines back to Prince George. The first train on this line in nearly a month was simply another storage run and not a revenue freight for the mines, as such I'm not sure what to think for the future of this line, weather the Quintet mine will reopen and bring back service or will CN give up on it and give the track back to BC is unknown. I'm just happy I got the opportunity to shoot a train on the former electrified BCRail Tumbler Ridge branch line.
A little while ago I was visiting the opencast pit at Garzweiler in the western part of Germany. It hole is as huge as you would never even think about. I only have seen this on television before. But when your staying up in front of this pit is is unbelievable. Many villages had been torn down for this just to provide us with energy.
Due to the fact that Germany now is building a lot powerplants of renewable energy as for wind, water and solar power, brown coal once might not be profitable for big energy companies. Maybe one day it will be stopped to burn brown coal.
Have a great start into the week and many thanks for your support, guys.
On October 31st, 2002, the final run of BC Rail’s RDC-powered passenger service pulled into North Vancouver’s station. The train was unloaded, the passengers disembarked, and the rail car’s gauges dropped for the final time. It was truly the end of an era. For 46 years PGE, BCR, and BC Rail had offered passenger service to the remote communities of British Columbia’s interior until it was announced that the service was no longer profitable. We are fortunate to have preservation societies such as the West Coast Railway Association who have preserved 3 former BC Rail RDC cars for the public to see. So at least, at the WCRA, one can get a glimpse into what was once a vital link for communities along BC Rail's mainline.
This is a family of this beautiful endangered species, Indigo Macaws or Lear Macaws (Anodorhynchus leari) on the cliffs of Raso da Catarina, Canudos, Bahia, where they nest. The place is a protected reserve monitored by a non profitable organisation www.biodiversitas.org.br/arara
Better seen large.
Happy Earth Day!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Sten Moeller made the voyage across the sea from his hometown of Jharton to Andarheim for the purpose of establishing the settlement’s first mill. It quickly became apparent that the meager amount of agricultural development around Andarheim would not be enough to support his millwork yet, so Sten expanded his enterprise by adding a merchant stand and dock. Through the sale and barter of everything from fishing tackle, to farm implements, weapons to tools, and of course seafood and crops, Moeller’s Point quickly became not only a very profitable venture for Sten, but also a great help to the rest of the residents of Andarheim.

Comments and critiques welcome! I'm still a a rather new AFOL who recently came out of my dark ages. :-)
In Memory of Mister B
Cripple Creek, Colorado
Cripple Creek is a historic gold mining town whose mineral wealth is still being mined profitably today. I had stopped there in 2014 only to find Bennet Avenue, the main street, being completely torn up for repairs and improvements. I did have some memorable moments there though, in particular meeting the graveyard groundskeeper who made some of the history come to life for me as he told me about several of the notables buried in Mt Pisgah Cemetery. I took him up on his reading list and purchased several books about the town and some of the early pioneers.
...after reading the first one, an autobiography written by the daughter of a gold miner, Mabel Barbee, I was hooked to the town the same way I was to Bodie, Califonia. In a few hours time I had devoured the book and immersed myself into the private moments of people long gone, but whose lives somehow still echoed in the streets of Cripple Creek.
I decided to go back again in 2015 hoping the repairs were done, and having a much more informed mental picture of what had transpired in the town...instead of a visit to a picturesque little hamlet in Colorado, it was now like a time machine...memories coming alive on every street corner.
...and in that frame of mind...walking along Cripple Creek's historic Bennett Avenue one evening, I happened to look up to find someones eyes planted intently upon me.....which became the most poignant event in 8700 miles of travel last October. It was like seeing my dog again who was taken by cancer a few years back. A feisty little white Maltese. Sure they all look alike...but they don't. This one looked just like mine. I grabbed a couple of shots, and walked away in a sort of deja vu / surreal thankfulness that one day I'll see my little buddy once again...his eyes following me all the way down the street.
I now have a very private grubstake in Cripple Creek myself.
I would guess that around 30% of the earthquake damaged buildings in Christchurch were demolished as it was more profitable for the owners. This includes a few heritage buildings.
Two beautiful apartments, never vacant, also great air b&b potential. Profitable retail business in storefront. Storefront owner says retail business nets approx. $54000 yr.

Once a Trabocco was a fishing machine apt to intercept the passing fishes. Nowadays this activity is no longer profitable. So many of these Trabocco were converted into fish restaurants as the Trabocco Sasso della Cajana in Rocca San Giovanni.

842 was new to Lothian Buses in 2007 as 842.
She is seen here at Musselburgh.
These buses are based at Musselburgh Depot. This depot amongst others was owned by First Scotland East, part of the First Group until they decided to leave East Lothian in 2016 due to "it not being profitable."
A total of 10 buses were repainted into the "Lothian Motorcoaches" livery in 2018, for Private Hires, which in hand made the capacity for more sales when all of the coaches were rented out, (which was VERY unlikely and ended up not getting used often.)
In turn, they were mainly used for getting people from the Firth of Forth to the capital.
Their interiors also had an extensive refurb including the introduction of a grey interior to fit the more modern "Lothian Style" including Lothian Motorcoaches seats.
They were also given private plates with the MXZ 17XX format. MXZ 1752 is seen here.
3 of the 10 of this batch of buses were given the "Lothian Country" standard livery at the time in 2020 during the "Special Covid Network" to boost capacity for passengers to socially distance, along with the other 7 vehicles subsequently joining them.
In November 2021, Lothian Buses announced that East Coast Buses and Lothian Country were given a revised livery, the same livery but different vinyl branding so they could switch buses easier with just a vinyl change at Seafield Works.
The hook was removed from the Lothian Buses, affecting this livery, this all happened in 2020, where the hook was applied differently each time for each bus to save materials.
This in turn left enthusiasts wondering if these buses would get a new livery, and in May 2022, It was uncovered that they would indeed get the new livery.
Would receive the livery, and have since entered service. Since then 2 more buses have been sent for a new livery, meaning that only 3 buses as of 3rd June 2022, Only 3 buses have the "Lothian Motorcoaches" livery, 3 buses have the old "Lothian Country" livery and 4 buses will eventually have the new joint "East Coast Buses and Lothian Country" livery.
I will kindly ask for you to follow me if you'd like to see new additions to the Lothian Fleet and for me to get as many buses as possible. It is so you understand things without me having to link them.

Mining in South Africa has been the main driving force behind the history and development of Africa's most advanced and richest economy. Large scale and profitable mining started with the discovery of a diamond on the banks of the Orange River in 1867 by Erasmus Jacobs and the subsequent discovery and exploitation of the Kimberley pipes a few years later. Gold rushes to Pilgrim's Rest and Barberton were precursors to the biggest discovery of all, the Main Reef/Main Reef Leader on Gerhardus Oosthuizen's farm Langlaagte, Portion C, in 1886, the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the subsequent rapid development of the gold field there, the biggest of them all.
The Witwatersrand is in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Gauteng Province is the roughly the southern portion of what was previously the Transvaal, formerly an independent state settled by the Boers after the Great Trek. J. H. Davis, an Englishman, was reported to have found gold "in considerable quantities" in July 1852 at Paardekraal near Krugersdorp, which was the earliest discovery on the Rand. Davis had sold £600 worth of gold (£457,000 in 2010 Pounds to the Transvaal Treasury and had shortly thereafter been ordered out of the country in accordance with the prevailing policy of secrecy. In October 1853 Pieter Jacob Marais, born in Cape Town on 31 July 1826, discovered gold on the banks of the Jukskei River, this find too was hushed up. The first mining concern (the Nil Desperandum Co-operative Gold Company) was formed at Blaauwbank in 1874.
Gold was mined at various places on the Rand up to 1886, when the discovery of the Witwatersrand Main Reef set off the historic Witwatersrand Gold Rush.
Gold was discovered in the area known as Witwatersrand, triggering what would become the Witwatersrand Gold Rush of 1886. Like the diamond discoveries before, the gold rush caused thousands of foreign expatriates to prospect and mine the region. This heightened political tensions in the area, ultimately contributing to the Second Boer War in 1899. Ownership of the diamond and gold mines became concentrated in the hands of a few entrepreneurs, largely of European origin, known as the Randlords.
Cecil Rhodes founded Gold Fields of South Africa (GFSA) in 1887. Rand Mines (now Randgold), Johannesburg Consolidated Investments, General Mining and Union Corporation were quickly in place, all backed by men who had started in diamonds. Only Sir Ernest Oppenheimer's Anglo American was formed rather later, in 1917, while AngloVaal was founded in 1933. These seven houses provided the foundations of the South African gold industry which was always described as the 'flywheel' of the country's expansion.

1951 Kaiser-Frazer Henry J
As a way to continue profitability, Kaiser-Frazer Corporation sought to enter the small car field. Pent-up postwar demand for new cars had subsided and the way to attract sales was to offer something different, preferably without much competition. The Henry J was the result, and like seemingly all K-F projects, it was surrounded with controversy.
The new car seemingly had everything — except a name. When the prototype was shown in 1950, the front name plate said “Name the Car.” A contest was held and the choice was Henry J, which just happened to be Chairman of the Board Henry J. Kaiser’s first name and middle initial.
Despite many shortcuts to get down to the $1,219 four-cylinder and $1,343 prices (before taxes and shipping), reviews of the Henry J were favorable for performance and handling. Bare-bones interiors and equipment drew the sternest critiques.
In November of 1951, K-F and Sears Roebuck agreed to build the Allstate version of the Henry J to be sold through Sears stores, the first new vehicles sold by the department store/mail order chain since 1912. Allstate featured many Sears’ parts and had its own interiors. Sales started as 1952 models and lasted into the 1953 model year. There weren’t many.
Production of the large Kaisers would be shifted to the Willys factory in Toledo, Ohio in 1954, but for Henry J, it was over. Kaiser and Willys passenger cars barely made it into 1955 before production was shut down in this country for good. Tooling was shipped to the Kaiser factory in Argentina and both went on to a second life, with the Willys lasting the longest.
Henry J’s found popularity in racing with applications in modified stock cars and drag racing. It took collectors much longer to realize their value.
