Cleaning up the undercarriage and keeping low on departure from RAF Fairford's RIAT 2024 display is this Hellenic Air Force McDonnell Douglas F4E Phantom II. Fantastic to see this iconic dual seat Fighter aircraft originally flown by the USAF in 1960. Often affectionately known as "the old smokey" or "the big ugly" Hellenic Air Force ordered 58 of these beauties in 1971 under the "Peace Icarus programme" and are flown 117 Pteriga Makhis combat wing in Greece.

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.
I first heard this term when watching a programme on TV about crofting in Shetland or Orkney, where the crofter was talking about her childhood, and how she used to collect these for her mother to spin. A hentilaget is a tuft of wool fallen or torn from a sheep's back which is gathered from the pasture or the hillside.
I have been looking out for them ever since, and finally saw some the other day, not too far from home. A wander out with the macro lens and tripod, which don't usually come out on walks with me! Certainly blew the cobwebs and mild lethargy away.
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.

The Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185. The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

A great afternoon's entertainment at Farmleigh House, Phoenix Park, Dublin. It celebrates India's independence on 15 August 1947.
"India Day is one of the largest India-related events in Ireland, a confluence of Irish and Indian cultures. It is packed with music and dance programmes from both countries, cultural representations, fashion shows, food and a handicraft fair. With programmes ranging from Irish songs to classical music and Bollywood dance, India Day is an audio-visual treat for connoisseurs of all genres.
India Day strives to create awareness about the two countries’ rich culture, heritage, values and traditions through India Day. It is a celebration of Freedom and Irish-Indian friendship."

The conservation work and breading programmes which the park does are so important to the future of many species you can see there.

If the dreaded Dept Against Rail Transport has its way, the great electrification programme will be abandoned - but you can safely bet that these anti photting barriers won't be removed.
Despite the size of its existing fleet and pre-war construction programmes the National Armada had under its belt, it faced shipping shortages on every front. One particular shortage, was the relatively new requirement for escort units. It was during the Eight Years War that the first warship was sunk by naval torpedoes; a cheap but lethal weapon that Perceptum’s enemies were now producing en masse to overcome the Armada’s heavy ships. Try as they might, even with large batteries of smaller guns, these big ships simply could not adequately defend themselves against the emerging threat of torpedo boats. Simultaneously, the escalating conflict in the colonies of Yafranica and the Orient required more and more warships that could traverse rivers and shallow coasts- and that’s when it clicked.
What remained of the navy’s pre-war design bureau came up with what they called the “Hundred Day Gunboat”, a shallow-draft ocean-going gun platform that could be built quickly and cheaply to meet a multitude of missions. Once approved by the Supreme Leader (or more correctly, his secretary) the ship type was put into production in just about every shipyard in the Empire that could spare the space; by the end of the war, over a hundred had been built, with about sixty making it out alive.
But like many other Perceptan ships built during the war, they had design defects. The first and most obvious being that they were often too small to handle the armaments and crew thrust upon them, which did nothing for the living conditions aboard. The second was that the Navy Staff made a big mistake by assuming all the Empires scattered shipyards would naturally churn out the exact same quality of ship. The Armada’s four big, primary shipyards (Malva, Thesselos, Forza and Nacivitas) were able to construct tough and reliable ships without issue. But many of the colonial ports (which were either understaffed or running off slave labour) were not only incapable of matching the craftsmanship of the leading shipyards, but were critically short of many of the materials they needed. As a result, they may as well have been making an entire range of ship types unique to each shipyard; many shipbuilders ditched the original six 6in gun setup for whatever artillery pieces they could get their hands on locally, others installed torpedo tubes, more yet would cut many corners to save costs and turned out boats that didn’t even make it past sea trials. To add to these problems, the Armada’s chronic shortage of trained sailors forced them to draft crews from prisons, the army, colonial towns and press-ganging citizens who would have been of more use to the war effort elsewhere.
Those that actually remained afloat saw service in all theaters of the War, but once the conflict had come to an end, many would meet their fate in the scrapyard. Of those that were still in sailing condition, only thirty remained in service in the Grande Marina, which replaced the National Armada. All the rest were sold indiscriminately to the highest bidder; an action that the Perceptans would come to regret, for many found their way into the service of their enemies and pirate groups like the Chornslad Alliance.
Pictured here is the RNS Tigris, which was the first of the gunboats laid down (which is why they are usually referred to as the Tigris Class). As you can see, she and ships of her variation of the Hundred Day Gunboat were armed with six muzzle-loading 6in gun’s and six lighter rifles for use against torpedo boats. She and ships of her class still remain in use, mostly as merchant convoy escorts and colonial police ships.
The Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) currently includes over 100 Issuing Banks in the EBRD region and more than 800 Confirming Banks worldwide. The event gave EBRD partner banks the opportunity to review and discuss industry challenges, pricing, limits and trade opportunities with key industry specialists, regulators and representatives from the World Trade Organization, the International Chamber of Commerce HQ and local National ICC Committees.
It also featured the highly popular award ceremony for ‘The Most Active EBRD TFP Banks’ and ‘The Best Transaction of 2016’.
13 February, First day of Spring in Bengali Year...

I took Morag's mum to the bus station this morning and on the way back home stopped off to take some pics. Just some random shots.
47079 G.J. Churchward decends Filton bank at Lockleaze possibly with a summer saturday special heading to Devon? on 18th June 1983.
This shot was taken shortly before this four track section was reduced to two tracks, early in 1984, supposedly to increase the running speed of the remaining two tracks.
32 years later, Network Rail is spending £33m on the 'Filton Bank Four Track Programme' to reinstate the four tracks as part of the Great Western modernisation!
47079 survives today having been rebuilt as 57009, currently operated by DRS Direct Rail Services, as of Oct 15.
