Unknown to me this location known as the Inland Sea at Dwejra Bay on the island of Gozo was used as a film location in Game of Thrones. I have never watched the programme so didn't recognise the scene.
This little lake is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a small tunnel that cuts through the surrounding high cliffs. The lake (known as the Inland Sea) provides a safe harbour and fishing huts have been built on two sides. It was interesting to see that the local boats are pushed into and hauled out of the water by a number of old Land Rover Defenders.
The Advanced Passenger Train programme was all about creating a world beating tilting train for the future, without having to spend billions on new dedicated track for high speed running. It should have followed in the steps of the HST, and put the UK in the forefront of railway innovation. It was scrapped, and the technology sold to the Italians who produced, the Pendolino! Scrapped by a government who lacked backbone and vision, and a hostile press who excelled in the maxim of not letting un truths get in the way of a good story. Nothing new there then, you may say? During its short life in scheduled service, No. 370003 speeds through Lichfield Trent Valley with a Glasgow Central to London Euston service on 19th April 1985.

Mirai Nagasu
Gold Medal winner, Womens
ISU Junior Grand Prix, Lake Placid, Sept. 2007
A full Bielman..and spinning at incredible speed to boot.
A future Olympian to look out for in Vancouver 2010!!!
Performing her long programme, Coppélia. Notes on Coppelia below. This is the same programme she performed January 26th 2008 at the US Senior Ladies championship, and won gold with. At age 14, even though Mirai is the US woman's champion, she is too young to go to the world championships.
Coppelia is ballet about a girl who sits still, without smiling in the window of the shop of a toymaker Coppelius. A group of young kids enter the shop, and one of them noticing that Coppelia is a mechanical doll, pretends to be her, and gradually comes to life. The original choreography for Coppelia was by Arthur Saint-Leon with music by Leo Delibes.
Mirai's programme tells the story of the ballet (or part of it). It is not just skating to music, but a beautifully choreographed piece. Fulls mark to her choreographer, as well as to Mirai.
Nagasu trains in Pasadena and represents the Pasadena Figure Skating Club. Her coaches are Charlene Wong, Sashi Kuchiki, Sondra Holmes, Bob Paul, and Jim Yorke. Her choreographer is Lori Nichol.
McDonnell-Douglas YC-15 72-1875 at RAF Mildenhall Queen's Silver Jubilee Open Day 1977. This aircraft was on its way to the Paris Air Salon which took place the following week. Note the CFM56 engine that was fitted as part of the flight test programme. The other pods hold JT8Ds. K64 slide scan.
The National Media Museum is situated in the heart of Bradford, UNESCO City of Film.
The Museum is home to over 3.5 million items of historical significance and looks after the National Photography, National Cinematography, National Television and National New Media Collections.
Traditional and interactive galleries located across eight floors of the Museum investigate and celebrate film, photography, television, animation and new media.
The UK's first IMAX theatre opened here.
The Museum houses two other cinemas which can accommodate a wide range of film formats. The Pictureville and Cubby Broccoli cinemas host an impressive film programme, from cult classics to contemporary art house cinema.
Port Meirion in North Wales. Architecture by Clough William Ellis, he constructed the village using building salvage from around the world. The late sixties programme The Prisoner with Patrick Mcgoohan was also filmed here. The prisoners catch phrase was "I am not a number, I am a free man".
Beaucoup disent que la Suède n’est qu’un petit pays et que ce que nous faisons n’a pas d’importance. Mais j’ai appris qu’on n’est jamais trop petit pour faire une différence. Et si quelques enfants peuvent faire les gros titres partout dans le monde simplement parce qu’ils ne vont pas à l’école, imaginez ce que nous pourrions faire ensemble si nous le voulions. Mais pour ça, nous devons parler clairement, même si ça peut-être inconfortable.
Vous parlez de croissance économique verte et durable, parce que vous avez peur d’être impopulaires. Vous parlez de poursuivre les mêmes mauvaises idées qui nous ont mis dans cette situation, alors que la seule réaction logique est de tirer le frein à main.
Vous n’êtes pas assez matures pour dire les choses comme elles sont. Même ce fardeau vous le laissez à nous, les enfants. Mais je me moque d’être impopulaire. Je tiens à la justice climatique et à une planète vivante. Notre civilisation est sacrifiée pour permettre à une petite poignée de gens de continuer à gagner d’énormes sommes d’argent. Notre biosphère est sacrifiée pour que des personnes riches, dans des pays comme le mien, puissent vivre dans le luxe.
Ce sont les souffrances du plus grand nombre qui paient pour le luxe de quelques-uns.
En 2078 je fêterai mes 75 ans. Si j’ai des enfants, peut-être qu’ils passeront cette journée avec moi. Peut-être qu’ils me demanderont de parler de vous. Peut-être qu’ils me demanderont pourquoi vous n’avez rien fait alors qu’il était encore temps d’agir.
Vous dites que vous aimez vos enfants par dessus tout et pourtant vous volez leur futur devant leurs yeux. Jusqu’à ce que vous vous concentriez sur ce qui doit être fait plutôt que sur ce qui est politiquement possible, il n’y a aucun espoir. Nous ne pouvons pas résoudre une crise sans la traiter comme telle. Nous devons laisser les énergies fossiles dans le sol et nous devons nous concentrer sur l’équité. Et si les solutions sont introuvables à l’intérieur du système, alors peut-être devons nous changer de système. Nous ne sommes pas venus ici pour supplier les dirigeants du monde de s’inquiéter. Vous nous avez ignoré par le passé et vous nous ignorerez encore. Nous sommes à court d’excuses et nous sommes à court de temps. Nous sommes venus ici pour vous dire que c’est l’heure du changement, que ça vous plaise ou non. Le vrai pouvoir appartient au peuple.

Baltit Fort is a fort in the Hunza valley, near the town of Karimabad, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. Founded in the 8th century CE, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative list since 2004.
The Mirs of Hunza abandoned the fort in 1945, and moved to a new palace down the hill. The fort started to decay which caused concern that it might possibly fall into ruin. Following a survey by the Royal Geographical Society of London a restoration programme was initiated and supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme. The programme was completed in 1996 and the fort is now a museum run by the Baltit Heritage Trust.
Another participant in the D Day revival weekend in the village of Southwick, Hampshire. This young lady was dressed in clothes from the period and selling event programmes. Nice smile!
This Saturday 10 volunteers organized a workshop to learn programming with the Scratch visual programming software and robotics with the Lego Wedo and Mindstorms kits to kids.
There have been a lot of other sessions for 3 years since we've started to promote this type of workshop.
Thanks to all these people and the organizations that provides knowledge, computers, resources kits and snacks (ADN Ouest, La ruche numérique, La cantine numérique, Devoxx4Kids, Coder Dojo, Coding Gouter, ...., as well as a large number of companies that are sponsors for these events)
1969 Austin Ant registration POG 568G Issigonis designed four wheel drive, transverse engine car, based on Mini components.
Only 30 prototypes were built before the programme was cancelled at the end of 1968. By then Rover had joined British Leyland and it was felt the Ant would compete against the Land Rover.
Using a programme called Tilting Sun and taking the middle exposure imaging time from my Prominence captures of 20 August (www.flickr.com/photos/76699751@N07/29007261792/in/datetaken/), I can work out the tilt and rotation of the sun and where my image overlays at the time. Also shown here are the 109 Earth's stacked across the diameter of the sun in fairly even measure to arrive at the scaling for Earth (zoom in you will see them!). Taking the Sun as 861,800 miles (1,390,000 kilometers) in diameter and dividing that by Earth at 7909 miles (12,756 kilometers) gives 108.9 rounded to 109 Earths fitting across the diameter of the sun.
A prototype transmit/receive module on a single 6x6 mm chip, intended to deliver miniaturised space radar systems for future missions.
Traditional transmit/receive modules used on Europe’s Sentinel-1 and comparable radar missions employ separate circuits for the high-power amplifier, the low-noise amplifier and the switch/isolator.
The aim, developed for ESA by TNO in the Netherlands, UMS in France, and Airbus Defense and Space in Germany, was to integrate all these functions onto a single chip, while delivering increased efficiency and a threefold increase in radio-frequency power.
The added ingredient enabling this was that the chip was made using gallium nitride (GaN) – the most promising semiconductor since silicon. If you have a Blu-ray player than you own a tiny crystal of GaN, used in high-performance blue lasers.
GaN can operate with high radio-frequency output power, low noise or at much higher temperatures than silicon. As a plus, it is also inherently resistant to radiation. ESA has been leading the industrialisation of GaN through the GaN Reliability Enhancement and Technology Transfer Initiative consortium.
This prototype was developed through ESA’s Basic Technology Research Programme.
A follow-up project to integrate the chip into a complete radar module suitable for a future Sentinel-1 successor mission is being undertaken through the Agency’s follow-up General Support Technology Programme.

The subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week is NGC 1637, a spiral galaxy located 38 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus.
This image comes from an observing programme dedicated to studying star formation in nearby galaxies. Stars form in cold, dusty gas clouds that collapse under their own gravity. As young stars grow, they heat their nurseries through starlight, winds, and powerful outflows. Together, these factors play a role in controlling the rate at which future generations of stars form.
Evidence of star formation is scattered all around NGC 1637, if you know where to look. The galaxy’s spiral arms are dotted with what appear to be pink clouds, many of which are accompanied by bright blue stars. The pinkish colour comes from hydrogen atoms that have been excited by ultraviolet light from young, massive stars. This contrasts with the warm yellow glow of the galaxy’s centre, which is home to a densely packed collection of older, redder stars.
The stars that set their birthplaces aglow are comparatively short-lived, and many of these stars will explode as supernovae just a few million years after they’re born. In 1999, NGC 1637 played host to a supernova, pithily named SN 1999EM, that was lauded as the brightest supernova seen that year. When a massive star expires as a supernova, the explosion outshines its entire home galaxy for a short time. While a supernova marks the end of a star’s life, it can also jump start the formation of new stars by compressing nearby clouds of gas, beginning the stellar lifecycle anew.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy filling the view. Its disc is filled with bright red spots where stars are forming, dark reddish threads of dust that obscure light, and bluish glowing areas where older stars are concentrated. It has a large, glowing yellow oval area at the centre, from which two spiral arms wind through the galaxy’s disc. The bottom side of the disc is rounded while the top side is somewhat squared-off.]

After this shot.....I will never shoot through glass panel again.......My technicis is not good enough to post process it =(
A special thanks to my friend invitation to the marina sky park during his family staycation at Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
The weather threathen my visit to the park but the thought of wasting such a good opporturnity just keep me going....
Upon reaching the park the force of nature is too strong that i had missed out the blue hour shots.....
I was disappointed with the thoughts of reaching home without any good shots and so i decided to go up again using the tower 3........
This time round , the rain became smaller but the strong wind and water at the glass panel stills put my skills to a limit....
Until...........I finally found a spot with v minimum wind and unblock view...Even though i couldnt get the full view including artscience museum... I am still happy...
At this point of time...."i Light Marina Bay" light festive is on going... I could see the merlion being decorated with different colour.....On the floating platform , i could see lights blinking.....What a sight...
The “Switch Off, Turn Up” Campaign is going on in conjuction with the lighting festival , where stakeholders in and around Marina Bay are invited to switch off non-essential lighting whenever possible and turn up air conditioning temperatures to a comfortable 24 to 25 degrees during office hours.
The first edition in 2010 attracted 16 properties and saw collective savings of more than 41,000 kWh of electricity over the three week event period, translating into saving 22 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This year, the number of properties that have committed to take part in the campaign has more than doubled to over 40. The campaign has also successfully extended its reach well beyond the Marina Bay precinct, with buildings across the island pledging their support.
The Singapore landmarks which are committed to reduce their energy use include very large properties like the prominent Marina Bay Sands – also Prime Sponsor of i Light Marina Bay – Marina Bay Financial Centre, as well as The Fullerton Heritage.
Some buildings, which took part last time, have agreed to undertake additional energy efficiency measures and would encourage their tenants to do likewise.
For the 2010 lighting festival, City Developments Limited (CDL) involved four of its properties. It has taken the initiative this year to step up its commitment to introduce a total of 12 of its Singapore buildings into the “Switch Off, Turn Up” Campaign. Already a sustainability leader at home, CDL has made it for the third successive year onto the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations Listing, ranking at 62nd for 2012.

About the Festival
i Light Marina Bay, Asia's first and only sustainable light art festival was first held from 15 October to 7 November in 2010. Presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and organised by Smart Light Singapore (SLS), the event celebrated Marina Bay's nightscape through the showcase of 25 dynamic and innovative light art installations along the 3.5km waterfront promenade.
The installations made use of energy-efficient lighting and created awareness for energy-saving lighting technology for the urban environment. The "Switch Off, Turn Up" campaign kicked off a programme supported by Marina Bay stakeholders to Switch Off non essential lighting and Turn Up air-conditioning temperatures for the festival period. This initiative has come about to offset energy usage and promote energy savings from lighting. Programmes and fringe activities targeting families, students, industry professionals and the general public were also planned as part of the Festival.
The inaugural festival was a substantial success and was attended by more than 433,000 visitors over a three-week duration, of which approximately 71,031 were international visitors.
This is the second edition of i Light Marina Bay, and will be held from 9 March to 1 April 2012. Themed "Light Meets Asia", the sophomore will feature more than 30 innovative and environmentally sustainable light art installations, with a strong focus on works from Asia.
The Festival's curatorial team . is helmed by Festival Director Mary-Anne Kyriakou, and includes two co-curators: Charmaine Toh, a Singapore visual arts curator; and the team from Singapore award-winning design studio FARM. In line with the theme "Light Meets Asia", the curatorial team has selected the sustainable light art installations from over one hundred submissions. The final selection of installations features a strong representation from new, emerging, and well-known artists from countries across Asia, including Singapore. To find out more about the artists and their installations, click here .
Apart from the visually arresting and interactive sustainable light art installations, visitors to i Light Marina Bay 2012 can look forward to a full array of complementary programmes and activities – including a night carnivals, outdoor performances, guided tours, educational talks and workshops – all to ensure that there is something for everyone.
Garden of Light
Hexogon Solution, Singapore
Hexogon Solution was founded in 1997 by Adrian Goh. It has staged
several large-scale projections on giant structures, buildings and even a
commercial airliner. Goh and his team of design and production staff are
experts in the field of video mapping projection.
Garden of Light is an ambitious projection on the surface of the ArtScience
Museum at Marina Bay Sands incorporating a variety of light and sound
effects to tell a story about environmental sustainability and highlight the
beauty of the natural world. The projectors make no impact on the surface of
the ArtScience Museum but create a spectacular effect visible from several
vantage points throughout Marina Bay. This work is a festival commission

For years I went to most of the home matches - and a few away fixtures - of Stafford Rangers. Eventually I tired of the tired facilities, worsening refreshments, moaning about officials (by home supporters), and uninspiring play. But I do have some fond memories and might be tempted back one day - provided I can park nearby, the weather is good, the crowd are fair and the football worth watching. Surely that's not too much to ask?
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are reviewing Memories.

The Winter Gardens Morecambe opened in 1897 as the Victoria Pavillion Concert Hall and Variety Theatre, as an extension to the existing Winter Gardens Complex which opened in 1878. Over the years it was the home of the internationally renowned Morecambe Music Festival, played host to Sir Edward Elgar, the Halle Orchestra and many others from variety, music and theatre. From The Who to Dame Julie Andrews, Chung Ling Soo to Lawrence Olivier, the venue’s history is a roll call of stars of popular music and variety theatre.
Built as both a concert hall and variety theatre, its 2500 capacity was one of the largest in the North West and it quickly became known as the Albert Hall of the North. With its lavish interiors, striking architectural features and a view to rival the bay of Naples, the Winter Gardens was at the heart of a thriving seaside resort. By the mid-1970s, its fortunes were in decline and by 1977, the decision was taken to close the whole complex, culminating in 1982 with the demolition of the original Winter Gardens leaving only the Theatre remaining and in a perilous position.
However, a group of dedicated people formed the Friends of the Winter Gardens and have worked together since then with one aim to reopen the building that was once at the heart of Morecambe both architecturally and as a centre for culture and entertainment. With the formation of the Preservation Trust in 2006, ownership of the Winter Gardens was transferred to the charitable body who have spent years cleaning, restoring, and fundraising to continue this aim. Now under new governance, the Preservation Trust with the help of our restoration volunteers and the Friends of the Winter Gardens are a step closer to those dreams of many decades ago to finally restoring this remarkable Grade II* listed building.
