Setting for a very popular programme on BBC Tv a rugged coastal location period drama.
The geography of Cornwall describes the extreme southwestern peninsula of England west of the River Tamar. The population of Cornwall is greater in the less extensive west of the county than the east due to Bodmin Moor's location; however the larger part of the population live in rural areas. It is the only county in England bordered by only one other county, Devon, and is the 9th largest county by area, encompassing 3,563 km² (1,376 mi²). The length of the coast is large in proportion to the area of the county. Cornwall is exposed to the full force of the prevailing south-westerly winds that blow in from the Atlantic Ocean. To the north is the Celtic Sea, and to the south the English Channel.
Cornwall is the location of Great Britain's most southerly point, The Lizard, and the southern mainland's most westerly point, Land's End. A few miles further west are the Isles of Scilly.

Texture's & Effect's by William Walton & Topaz.
The 2016 Weekend at the Asylum, organised by Victorian Steampunk Society is the biggest Steampunk Festival in Europe. It is held in the historic uphill district of Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
For four glorious days the historic streets of Lincoln are thronged with thousands of splendidly dressed steampunks enjoying a festival which strives to combine art, literature, music, fashion, comedy and simple good fun.
The event contains programmes of features and entertainment, such as the Empire Ball, Majors Review (The Major's Soiree) and the National Tea Duelling final, along with lots of live music and comedy and the largest steampunk market in the World, the Bazaar Eclectica.
Put two shots together, the front & back of this original French programme of La Strada, directed by Federico Fellini.

The Socorro Dove (Zenaida graysoni or Zenaida macroura graysoni) is a dove that is extinct in the wild.
It was endemic to Socorro Island, 550 km off the west coast of Mexico. The last confirmed sighting of a wild Socorro dove was in 1972 and it is was officially declared extinct in 1978, following human settlement on the island some 20 years earlier, predation by cats (it is a ground-dwelling bird), and overgrazing of its habitat by sheep. There are not more than some 200 and probably fewer than 100 purebred birds in captivity.
The Socorro Dove (Zenaida macroura graysoni) is was formerly a subspecies of the Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) in North America. The dove is now officially considered a separate species (Zenaida graysoni).
The Socorro Dove is still larger and darker as the Mourning Dove and more heavily built.
It is a medium-sized dove, 26.5–34 cm long and weighs 190 g on average.
The Socorro Dove hybridizes readily with the Mourning Dove and a great many of the Socorros in the US, when DNA tested, have been shown to by hybrids. This is not the case with the European-bred birds and it is this stock that will be used for the reintroduction programme.
This picture was taken in Burgers Desert, a part of Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
De Socorroduif (Zenaida graysoni), ook wel Socorrotreurduif en Graysonduif genoemd, is een duif die in het wild is uitgestorven. Sinds 1972 komt deze vogel niet meer voor op het eiland Socorro in de oostelijke Grote Oceaan, 550 km voor de Mexicaans kust, waar hij endemisch was.
Omdat er geen roofzoogdieren op het oorspronkelijk onbewoonde eiland Socorro voorkomen, liet de duif zich gemakkelijk pakken door katten die rond 1950 naar het eiland waren gebracht. Ook voor mensen is de duif niet echt bang. Er zijn nog ongeveer 200 exemplaren in gevangenschap, waarvan minder dan 100 nog echt zuiver is. Een programma is opgezet voor herintroductie van de soort op het eiland.
Deze roodbruine duif kan ruim 30 cm lang worden en weegt gemiddeld 190 gram. De roodkleurige snavel is kort en slank met een donkere punt. Het mannetje is wat meer uitgesproken van kleur dan het vrouwtje.
Op het eiland kwam de Socorrotreurduif vooral voor in bosachtig gebied boven de 500 meter.
Hij eet zaden, fruit en kleine insecten.
Deze foto is genomen in Burgers Desert, de grote overdekt woestijnhal van Burgers Zoo.

Sluishuis housing Amsterdam
At the place where urban, rural areas and water meet in Amsterdam IJburg, Sluishuis has been realised: the iconic housing project designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Barcode Architects. Sluishuis forms a welcoming entrance to Amsterdam IJburg. The volume is elevated on one side to allow the water into the courtyard and stepped down on the other side to make an inviting gesture towards IJburg with friendly green terraces. From every angle, you experience the Sluishuis volume differently. Whether you are standing on the dyke, motorway or bridge, walking across the jetties or public route over the roof, or even viewing the building from the air: Sluishuis knows how to surprise you from all sides. The residential programme consists of 442 apartments. Rental and owner-occupied homes alternate throughout the building and provide space for various target groups, income levels and age categories. All apartments are accessible via the central courtyard. There, the cantilever and the water welcome you to the building. Each home has optimal views and daylight thanks to the special shape of Sluishuis with its double-cut volume.
Sluishuis has a rich diversity of housing typologies, such as compact urban studios and water sports apartments. On the top two floors are duplex penthouses with both a relationship with the courtyard and a view over the IJmeer. Premium flats with luxurious and sunny wooden roof terraces with views over IJburg are located on the stepped part. Extra special are the apartments at the bottom of the cantilever, with stunning views over the IJ and directly on the water. What makes these apartments so unique is that they hang over the water and in the part of the floor that runs along with the sloping façade, there is a large window through which you can see the boats sail right underneath you. The plinth will accommodate a varied programme including a sailing school, water sports centre and restaurant with a spacious terrace in the sun. Residents and visitors enter through the courtyard. The walkway to the roof of Sluishuis offers visitors and residents a spectacular view of the water and the neighbourhood. There is also a jetty promenade with 34 houseboats around the building. The jetty landscape stimulates contact with the water with various mooring places, sitting decks, and floating gardens. The carefully designed landscape also stimulates flora and fauna with local plant species and a bird island. In this way, the plinth and the surrounding landscape form a high-quality addition to the environment.
In its materiality, the building seeks contrast but also a connection with its surroundings. In the material palette, natural materials have been chosen so that the building will have a rich and natural appearance over the years. The abstract, untreated aluminium of the façade reflects the water and gives the volume a different appearance at any time of day. In contrast, the stepped roof terraces and the jetty promenade are made of wood, which gives a tactile appearance. Sluishuis is one of the most sustainable buildings recently completed (2022). It has an energy performance coefficient (EPC) of -0.02. The building's heating requirements have been minimised by combining excellent insulation techniques, triple glazing and heat recovery from the ventilation systems and showers. The building is heated by a combination of energy-efficient district heating and heat pumps for hot water and cooling. The building's energy consumption for heating, heat pumps, ventilation and LED lighting is fully provided by approximately 2,200 m2 of solar panels. In addition to these technical aspects, a great deal of attention was paid to the greenery and water collection in the development of Sluishuis. At the front, sides and in the courtyard are gardens with local plant species. The greenery runs across the roof terraces upwards in built-in planters. On the roof, this creates a pleasant green atmosphere.

"With little in the range of much performance intent, out of nowhere Alfa Romeo showed something called the ES30 design study at the 1987 Geneva motor show. The Alfa Romeo SZ was born. Those of a younger disposition might know Alfa Romeo products to be attractive, but underwhelming to drive. Well, the SZ was the other way around. Affectionately nicknamed 'Il Mostro', Alfa Romeo's Frankenstein shocked for many reasons, not least its brutalist styling." – evo magazine.
Reviving its tradition of building special-bodied Alfa Romeos, including the original SZ (Sprint Zagato) competition coupé of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Carrozzeria Zagato unveiled the outrageous new SZ at the Geneva Salon in March 1989. Under development for the preceding 19 months, the SZ was a joint project that also involved the styling departments of both Alfa Romeo and its parent company, FIAT, whose Robert Opron, formerly with Citroën, was responsible for the initial sketches. There are examples of other Opron-inspired masterpieces – the Citroën SM and Citroën CX – in this very sale. Opron's colleague Antonio Castellana was largely responsible for the final styling details and interior. The SZ lacked Zagato's characteristic 'double bubble' roof, while it has been suggested that its controversial styling resulted from early experiments with CAD/CAM (computer-aided) design. The SZ was built at Zagato's factory at Terrazano di Rho.
Originally typed 'ES 30' (Experimental Sports 3.0-litre) but known popularly as 'Il Mostro' (The Monster) the aggressive-looking two-seater coupé eschewed the rounded styling and aluminium-alloy coachwork hitherto associated with Zagato's high-performance Alfas in favour of an angular bodyshell crafted in lightweight moulded plastic - alloy roof excepted - which was bonded to the floor pan of the existing Alfa 75. Nowadays, smaller multiple light sources are relatively commonplace, which makes the controversial SZ, with its two clusters of three small headlights, recessed into the wide front grille, a design was ahead of its time.
Lessons learned from the latter's IMSA racing programme influenced the SZ's suspension, which endowed the car with superlative handling and roadholding, some drivers recording lateral cornering forces of up to 1.4G during testing. Suspension development was overseen by engineer Giorgio Pianta, formerly team manager of the FIAT and Lancia works rallying teams. There were Koni adjustable hydraulic dampers all round and power assisted steering, but no ABS.
Powering the SZ to its highly respectable 245km/h top speed was a 210bhp version of Alfa's superb 3.0-litre four-cam V6. Designed by Giuseppe Busso, Alfa's V6 is widely recognised as one of the finest power plants of recent times, and it is certainly one of the most glorious sounding sixes ever.
The SZ's excellent performance was achieved thanks partly to the body's exceptionally low drag coefficient of 0.30 Cd, the product of many hours spent in FIAT's wind tunnel. The engine was mounted longitudinally and drove the rear wheels via five-speed manual transaxle transmission.
Demand for the 1,000-or-so SZs scheduled for series production greatly exceeded supply. There was also an even rarer open spyder version: the RZ. By the time production ceased, Zagato had built only 1,036 SZ coupés, and today this rare and highly individual supercar is much sought after
The limited edition Alfa Romeo SZ was only manufactured in left-hand drive form, and this pristine example was delivered new in its native Italy and first registered in 1994. It has covered fewer than 1,300 kilometres from new. As such, it is presented in wonderful condition both inside and out. Importantly, it is accompanied by a set of original owner's manuals, car cover and Italian registration papers. A wonderful opportunity to acquire one of these ultra-rare Zagato-built Alfa Romeos that can only become increasingly collectible.
Having booked the judges & speakers and thought of what we will do for the other twice weekly meetings I'm filling it all in. If I were left-handed I would get it done more quickly :)
The programmes for Saturday 11th August 2001 commenced with a welcome from First Manchester and the Bolton Bus Group, and a reminder that Crook Street Depot (out of bounds) and Moor Lane and the surrounding streets were fully operational, Take Care and Be Aware at all times, paid credit to all who had moved mountains and molehills to make the day possible including GMPTE for allowing the event to take place and relaxing the vehicle age/type rules for certain tendered services, details of the day and a timetable of events, a brief history of the Atlantean, some cartoons, a personal reflection, and that some bespoke videos had been produced along with a raffle for a headboard.
Proceeds from the event were going to then named The Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
Swifts car park was closed for the day to allow a static display of visiting Atlanteans, thanks to all who attended.
I ran some 250 copies off, absolutely no idea how many we would need, on the depot printer. Some 2500 B/W and 250 front covers. I was just finishing packing up the sheets in the boxes they came in ready for a mass stapling session at home when I heard someone in the office say, "The printers out of ink, (They were huge!!) I only renewed the cartridges yesterday."
TIME TO DISAPPEAR!!
A ½-hourly shuttle between Moor Lane and the display at Crook Street was operated by Bolton 232.
But of course the star of the day was the last native fleet of GM Standard Atlanteans and they were near the end ......but we mustered 37 I think.
I arranged for all the Atlanteans to be rostered on local services where possible so each one visited Moor Lane Bus Station at least once an hour, sometimes twice.
The success of the day was summed up by a visitors comment in the press - There just seemed to be Atlanteans everywhere and its probably the last time we will ever witness such an event ....
I invited Dave Spencer for the day but he was unable to attend, otherwise engaged, and later told me he bitterly regretted not attending as he had heard that he'd missed a good day....
10 Years On was held on Sunday 21st August 2011 and a few similar programmes were produced. Being a Sunday the normal services were concentrated on the centre island platform on Moor Lane so thanks to TfGM, we were allowed to use the out of use bays for displaying the static visiting vehicles, (Crook Street having closed by this time), some privately owned and those from the Bolton Bus Preservation Group and those from The Selnec Preservation Society. Again thanks to all.
But this time there were no in service GM Standards and no CRUK participation.
A free hourly service Blackhorse Street to Bobs Smithy Pub on the peak of Chorley Old Road was run, so a much lower key day.
It all seems so long ago now, 21 years in the case of the native fleet......
Environment water transport system. The water cycle consists of precipitation, vapour transport, evaporation, evapo-transpiration, infiltration, groundwater flow and runoff. Figure 1 explains the global water cycle, illustrating how nearly 577,000 km3 of water circulates through the cycle each year. A table of estimated residence times shows the approximate times that water resources exist as biospheric water, atmospheric water and so on. The world’s surface water is affected by varying levels of precipitation, evaporation and runoff, in different regions. Figure 2 illustrates the different rates at which these processes affect the major regions of the world, and the resulting uneven distribution of freshwater. Water is transported in various forms within the hydrologic cycle. Shiklomanov in Gleick (1993) estimates that each year about 502,800 km3 of water evaporates over the oceans and seas, 90% of which (458,000 km3) returns directly to the oceans through precipitation, while the remainder (44,800 km3) falls over land. With evapo-transpiration and evaporation totalling about 74,200 km3, the total volume in the terrestrial hydrologic cycle is about 119,000 km3. Around 35% of this, or 44,800 km3, is returned to the oceans as run-off from rivers, groundwater and glaciers. A considerable portion of river flow and groundwater percolation never reaches the ocean, having evaporated in internal runoff areas or inland basins which lack outlets to the ocean. However, some groundwater that bypasses the river systems reaches the oceans. Annually the hydrologic cycle circulates nearly 577,000 km3 of water (Gleick, 1993).

Valley & Zuidas area Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The dramatic, geology-inspired, plant-covered Valley stands out in Amsterdam’s Zuidas neighbourhood with its three towers of 67, 81, and 100 metres and its spectacular cantilevered apartments. Named the best new skyscraper in the world in the 2021 Emporis Skyscraper Awards, the building distinguishes itself in several ways: firstly, it combines offices, shops, catering, cultural facilities, and apartments in one building; secondly, unlike the closed-off buildings elsewhere in the Zuidas, the green valley that winds between the towers on the fourth and fifth floors is accessible to everyone via two external stone staircases.
Designed by MVRDV Architects for developer Edge, Valley is an attempt to bring a green and human dimension back to the inhospitable office environment of Amsterdam Zuidas. It is a building with multiple faces; on the outer edges of the building is a shell of smooth mirrored glass, which fits the context of the business district. Inside this shell, the building has a completely different, more inviting natural appearance, as if the glass block has crumbled away to reveal craggy rock faces inside replete with natural stone and greenery.
Various locations throughout the three-tower complex offer breathtaking views of the city – the apartments, of course, but especially the sky bar at the top of the tallest tower, which visitors can access via the Molteni flagship store on the ground floor. The building’s layout is tailored to a mixture of residents, workers, and visitors: on top of the three-storey underground car park, offices occupy the lower seven floors, with apartments located on the eighth floor and up. Much of the building is open to the public: from the publicly accessible footpath that zigzags up to the central valley from the street level, to the Grotto, an atrium that forms a covered street on the first floor where the Sapiens Lab – a breeding ground for young scientists – will soon open. The grotto is connected to the outside by two large skylights that double as shallow water pools in the valley level above, and its natural stone flooring, walls, and ceilings – the same stone used on the surfaces of the valley and towers – makes clear that all the public areas of the building are part of the same apparently geological formation.
The design and construction of Valley is utterly bespoke, requiring the sustained commitment of hundreds of designers, engineers, builders, consultants, and of course the client. The enormously complex shape required a special commitment to fine detailing that further enhances the design concept. MVRDV’s technology experts created a series of custom digital tools to perfect the building, from a tool that ensured every apartment had adequate light and views, to a programme that made possible the apparently random pattern of over 40,000 stone tiles of varying sizes that adorn the building’s façades. Each of the 200 apartments has a unique floor plan, made possible by the interior designs by Heyligers Architects. And the outlandish cantilevers of the towers are possible thanks to innovative engineering, including eleven steel “specials” bolted to the concrete building that take the overall appearance to the next level.
Landscape architect Piet Oudolf developed a matrix to select the right plants for each location in the building, taking into account factors such as wind, sunlight, temperature, and maintenance. Trees, for example, are largely found on the lower floors, while the uppermost levels mainly support small plants. In total, more than 271 young trees and shrubs and approximately 13,500 smaller plants occupy the natural stone planters, representing 220 different plant species. In the coming years, the building will mature into the lush appearance of the design team’s vision as the greenery continues to grow. The biodiversity of this landscape is further supported by bird- and bat boxes as well as various bee and insect hotels. Maintained using an automatic irrigation system and by “façade gardeners”, the trees and plants on the terraces will positively affect the well-being of people living and working in Valley.
Valley combines insights in the field of sustainability, technology, and health. The building’s energy performance is 30% better than local regulations require, it has received BREEAM-NL Excellent certification for the commercial spaces, and the residential area scored an 8 out of 10 on the GPR Building Scale, a Dutch measurement tool that scores buildings across five themes of energy, environment, health, quality of use, and future value. The latest smart technologies are integrated in the office spaces, including IP-based Building Automation Systems and various sensors linked to monitoring actual usage.
The construction of Valley took four years, with the first residents and entrepreneurs moving into the building at the end of 2021, opening fully in September 2022.
The supply of safe drinking water and the provision of sanitation are management issues that raise concerns about inequitable service provision, particularly in developing countries. Although several successful initiatives have been launched to supply safe drinking water to urban populations, efforts still fall short of the required targets for sustainable development. In developing countries water delivery systems are plagued by leakages, illegal connections and vandalism, while precious water resources are squandered through greed and mismanagement. The World Bank recently estimated that US$600 billion is required to repair and improve the world’s water delivery systems (UNCSD, 1999). During the 1990s, the greatest reduction in per capita water supply was in Africa (by 2.8 times), Asia (by 2 times), and Latin America and the Caribbean (by 1.7 times), while water supplies available to European populations for that period decreased by 16% (WHO/UNICEF, 2000). The lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation is directly related to poverty, and, in many cases, to the inability of governments to finance satisfactory water and sanitation systems. The direct and indirect human costs of these failings are enormous, including widespread health problems, excessive use of labour (particularly for women, who are forced to travel long distances to obtain water for their families), and severe limitations for economic development (Gleick, 1995). Improved water and sanitation facilities, on the other hand, bring valuable benefits for both social and economic development and poverty alleviation (WHO/UNICEF 2000). Water Supply Highlights from the Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment 2000: - The percentage of people served with some form of improved water supply rose from 79% (4.1 billion people) in 1990 to 82% (4.9 billion) in 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, approximately 816 million additional people gained access to water supplies - an improvement of 3%. - Two out of every five Africans lack access to an improved water supply. Throughout Africa, rural water services lag far behind urban services. - During the 1990s, rural water supply percentage coverage increased, while urban coverage decreased - although the number of people who lack access to water supplies remained about the same. - In Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, nearly 1 billion people in rural areas have no access to improved water supplies. - To achieve the 2015 targets in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, water supplies will have to reach an additional 1.5 billion people. Sanitation Highlights from the Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment 2000: - The proportion of people with access to excreta disposal facilities increased from 55% (2.9 billion people) in 1990 to 60% (3.6 billion) in 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, approximately 747 million additional people gained access to sanitation facilities - although the number of people who lack access to sanitation services remained roughly the same. - At the beginning of 2000, two-fifths of the world’s population (2.4 billion people) lacked access to improved sanitation facilities. The majority of these people live in Asia and Africa, where fewer than half of all Asians have access to improved sanitation. - Sanitation coverage in rural areas is less than half that in urban locations, even though 80% of those lacking adequate sanitation (2 billion people) live in rural areas - some 1.3 billion in China and India alone. - In Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, nearly 2 billion people in rural areas have no access to improved sanitation facilities. - To achieve 2015 sanitation targets in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, an additional 2.2 billion people will have to be provided with sanitation facilities. - Polluted water is estimated to affect the health of more than 1.2 billion people, and to contribute to the death of an average 15 million children every year. In 1994, WHO estimated the number of people without access to clean drinking water at 1.3 billion. By 2000, nearly 1.2 billion people lacked access to clean water, while 2.4 billion lacked access to adequate sanitation services.
