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.

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.
Established in 1970, the Serpentine Gallery has presented pioneering exhibitions of 1,600 artists over 43 years, from the work of emerging practitioners to the most internationally recognised artists and architects of our time.
Each summer, the Serpentine commissions an architect who has not previously built in the UK to design a temporary Pavilion for the lawn in front of the Gallery. This annual architectural commission is a venue for the Gallery's public programmes and a cafe.

Flamborough Head is a promontory, 8 miles long on the Yorkshire coast of England, between the Filey and Bridlington bays of the North Sea. It is a chalk headland, with sheer white cliffs. The cliff top has two standing lighthouse towers, the oldest dating from 1669 and Flamborough Head Lighthouse built in 1806. The older lighthouse was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1952 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. The cliffs provide nesting sites for many thousands of seabirds, and are of international significance for their geology.
The headland is the only chalk sea cliff in the north.
The coastline within the site of Special Scientific Interest has strata from the upper Jurassic through to top of the Cretaceous period, and the headland exhibits a complete sequence of Chalk Group North Sea Basin strata, dated from 100 to 70 million years ago.
Flamborough Head was featured on the television programme Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of Yorkshire and briefly in the first series of Coast.
Flamborough Head was featured in the finale of series 3 of the ITV drama Scott & Bailey.
North Landing beach was used as a film location for the 2015 re-make of Dad's Army.

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.

Confinement jour 21 / Lockdown Day 21
Petit journal et photo du jour, en direct ou léger différé des studios de confinement…
Vu et entendu tellement de choses sidérantes ce week-end !
Donc une photo noire accompagnée d'un texte noir, ce lundi matin…
(demain, ce sera plus “cool"... Promis)
Je dédie cette photo :
- A ceux qui s’agglutinaient il y a peu de temps autour des stades dans lesquels les matchs se déroulaient à huis clos.
- A ceux qui boycottaient stupidement, il y a un mois, les restaurants chinois, prétendument à cause du virus, mais qui se gavent aujourd’hui goulûment de pâtes italiennes à la maison.
- A ceux qui se sont découvert une passion soudaine pour le jogging au premier jour du confinement, ou qui promènent leurs chiens trente fois par jour.
- A ceux qui restent sagement confinés jusqu’à 18h, mais c’est uniquement pour préparer le barbecue du soir dans leur jardin, avec tous les habitants du village.
- A ceux qui certifiaient que les masques ne servaient à rien, mais qui vont bientôt les rendre obligatoires.
- A ceux qui nettoient leurs chats ou chiens à l’eau de javel au retour de promenade.
- A ceux qui vont au Monoprix du coin sans honte avec un masque FFP2, alors que les hôpitaux en manquent.
- A ceux (médecins, écologistes, personnalités politiques d’extrême droite ou d'extrême gauche, économistes, anciens ministres de la santé...) qui expliquent qu’ils avaient prédit depuis longtemps l’Apocalypse mondiale, qu'ils avaient raison avant tous les autres, mais que personne ne les a écoutés...
(NB : on retrouve régulièrement ces charlatans et faux prophètes au cœur des médias, à chaque crise, car la crise est leur seul fond de commerce… Fuyez-les !).
- A la poignée de médecins médiatiques qui ne cessent de nous expliquer que les services de santé sont exsangues mais qui passent leurs journées sur les plateaux télé ou radio au lieu d’être à leur hôpital pour donner un coup de main (A leur décharge, il y a des jobs lucratifs d’experts médicaux à prendre, en sortie de crise, chez BFM et Europe 1... Ceux-là préparent donc dès aujourd’hui leur sortie honorable du confinement).
- A ceux qui roulent comme des tarés sur les périphériques parce qu'il y a moins de circulation, que le carburant est à un prix de plus en plus abordable, et que la police n’a plus de temps de poser des radars.
- Aux soixante millions de Français devenus en un instant de grands experts épidémiologistes et qui ont tout à coup une opinion tranchée sur l’efficacité (...ou pas) de la chloroquine… Avec une pensée particulière pour les "écolo-chimicophobes anti-glyphosate", qui se sont miraculeusement transformés en "pharmaco-chimicophiles pro-chloroquine", en moins de dix jours !
- A tous ceux qui signent des pétitions, par peur, par contrainte, ou par idéologie, mais sans jamais rien connaitre au sujet.
- Aux sectes de tous bords, qui pensent que leur foi en quelque Dieu étrange, qui exterminera tôt ou tard tous ceux qui ne pensent pas comme eux, leur assure automatiquement, et à la fois, l’immunité contre tous les virus et le droit de contaminer les autres.
- Au type (lu dans la presse) qui est sorti en ville pour y vendre du cannabis mais a oublié son attestation... Lorsque les forces de l’ordre l’ont verbalisé pour défaut d’attestation, ils l’ont fouillé au passage et trouvé le cannabis... Alors qu’il suffisait simplement de cocher la case "achat et vente de produits de première nécessité" sur le formulaire gouvernemental pour ne pas être inquiété ! C’est ballot ! La petite délinquance n’a plus la rigueur d’autrefois !
- A Greta, qui n’a jamais eu le courage de mettre les pieds en Chine, pourtant centre écologique et économique du monde, et dont on n’entend plus parler (de Greta, pas de la Chine) !
Je sais, on va me dire qu’on est tous, un jour ou l’autre, le con de quelqu’un (moi le premier, je confirme) mais je me lève très énervé contre le monde entier ce matin !
Je vais aller, de ce pas, me boire un quatrième expresso bien tassé !
Bon confinement à tous et "Take care !"

Damn I can never remember my access code. Its either 69696969 or 96969696.
Who'd give a code like that to a dyslexic!
If you like my work and fav it spend the time to comment please.
STILL LOOKING
I am looking for young male and female volunteer gritty, punky or just plain funky models
I would really like to photo you personally, however unless you live in West Yorkshire, UK that will not be possible. But it may be possible to direct you and then post your shots for editing. You will need to sign a model release form which I will supply. You can keep a set of finished shots but beware that I will own copyright of the finished images. If this interests you then please contact me through flickr.
thanks

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’.
This graphic illustrates the strong link between areas with high densities of industrial activity and zones of seasonally oxygen-depleted waters. There is a strong link between areas with high densities of industrial activity and zones of seasonal oxygen-depleted waters. In recent years there has been an increasing focus on treating and reducing municipal and industrial waste, and on reducing nitrogen levels in agricultural runoff. However, less attention has been paid to the continually increasing nitrogen emissions into the atmosphere. It is believed that between 10% and 70% of the fixed nitrogen input in many coastal regions is currently delivered by rain and the fallout of nitrogen compounds from the atmosphere. GESAMP (Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environment Protection) recommends that atmospheric nitrogen must be included among the nutrient sources assessed as part of the management of coastal water quality. Political factors are also of major significance, as the primary causes of atmospheric anthropogenic nitrogen result from energy generation and transportation, and thus from society’s economic and social activities (GESAMP, 2001). Urgent actions to control land-based activities: At the technical, management and policy levels, the most urgent actions needed, for controlling land-based activities, in order to improve the quality of the marine environment, are: - prevent habitat destruction and the loss of biodiversity through education, combined with the development and enforcement of legal, institutional and economic measures appropriate to local circumstances - establish protected areas for habitats and sites of exceptional scenic beauty or cultural value - devote primary management attention to the control of pollution from sewage, nutrients (especially nitrogen) and sediment mobilization - design national policies that take account of the economic value of environmental goods and services, and provide for the internalization of environmental costs - integrate the management of coastal areas and associated watersheds (GESAMP, 2001) It has been estimated that about 80% of all marine pollution originates from land-based activity, reaching the ocean directly, via rivers, or through atmospheric depositions: - Inputs of nitrates to the North Sea, for example, have risen four-fold, and phosphate inputs eight-fold, since the 1970s, causing eutrophication and tides of toxic algae that have killed stocks in offshore fish farms (Harrison and Pearce, 2001). - Severe eutrophication has been discovered in several enclosed or semi-enclosed seas (UNEP, 2002). - Eutrophication has been linked to the formation of ‘dead zones’ on the ocean floor. One of the largest known ’dead zones’ is found along the United States shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico, which receives large volumes of fertilizer from the Mississippi River system (Harrison and Pearce, 2001). - The collapse of the Baltic Sea cod fishery in the early 1990s is blamed on oxygen loss in deep waters due to eutrophication, which interfered with the development of cod eggs. - Eutrophication can also cause harmful algal blooms (HABs), which can harm fish and shellfish, as well as the people who consume them. Some algae can cause negative effects when they appear in dense blooms, while others have such potent neurotoxins they do not need to be present in large numbers.

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.
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 :)
A significant sea level rise is one of the major anticipated consequences of climate change. This will cause some low-lying coastal areas to become completely submerged, while others will increasingly face short-lived high-water levels. These anticipated changes could have a major impact on the lives of coastal populations. The small island developing states (SIDS) will be especially vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise, and to changes in marine ecosystems, because of their major dependence on marine resources (UNEP, 2002). The extent of future sea level rise will depend on a multitude of factors, and is therefore extremely difficult to predict. While rising sea levels will be exacerbated by thermal expansion of the warming oceans, and the melting of land ice, they will be partially offset by increased precipitation over Antarctica (Met Office UK, 2001) Feasibility of a Global Marine Assessment Human activities and climate change is affecting the state of marine environment. The formulation of sustainable, ecosystem-based policies and measures for oceans and coasts needs to be supported by studies and assessments at national, regional and global scales. The Assessment of Assessments (AoA) established by decision of the United Nations General Assembly represents the first step in this international initiative to better understand the complex functioning of our oceans, and to develop a global mechanism to make a reliable information available to all public. It is being undertaken as part of the start-up phase of the regular process in accordance with paragraph 64 (a) of UNGA resolution 58/240. It covers the state of the marine environment, including socio-economic aspects. It builds on the work done by other international forums and, either directly or indirectly through those forums, by national authorities concerned with the marine environment. These assessments will help to better understand the status, trends, interrelations, scenarios and predictions in ecosystem conditions, goods, services, stress and non-use values to humans and vulnerability, resilience, and adaptability, gain a better understanding of how human activities put pressure on and impact ecosystems develop responses and policy options. In addition, a scoping study requested UNEP and IOC of UNESCO in collaboration with UNEP-WCMC has indicated that there was a need for a clear overview at the national, regional and global levels. There are relatively few marine areas subjected to broadly based assessments. They appear to be a range of thematic assessments either completed, under way or planned BUT they are limited in both temporal and spatial coverage. It also said that there was a wealth of information available about the marine environment and new information is becoming available BUT there persists a lack of an overview, in particular on the links between the state of the marine environment and cross cutting issues of human health, seafood safety and sustainable fisheries. Regular assessments of the impact of human activity on the state of the marine environment at national, regional and global level are therefore needed to inform decision making. There is a need to ensure co-ordination at the national, regional and international levels in the development of sound policy recommendations based on the assessment reports - as the oceans are a global common.
