Preparing for bushfires is an ongoing task, but after last Summer's calamitous fire season in Australia, the need to minimise fuel loads near property is even more obvious.

Richard Exell explains how taxes, benefits and public services combine to reduce inequality in society.
This frames the field in the southern constellation of Corona Australis, the Southern Crown, that is rich in bluish reflection nebulosity and brownish dusty absorption nebulas. Also in the field, but much more distant than the nebulas, is the globular star cluster NGC 6723.
The dark nebula complex is sometimes called the Anteater Nebula. Australian observers call the dense opaque area (the body of the Anteater) the "Field of Nothing," as a telescope at moderate power aimed at the area shows nothing at all, not even a star. The blue reflection nebulas are catalogued as NGC 6726, NGC 6727 and NGC 6729. The entire area is dubbed the Corona Australis Cloud Complex, or Dark Nebula Complex.
The field of view is about 3° by 2°.

This is a stack of 19 x 4-minute exposures, unfiltered, through the Askar APO120 refractor with its 0.8x Reducer/Flattener for f/5.6 and 670mm focal length, and the Canon Ra camera at ISO 800. Taken October 3, 2024 from the Quailway Cottage near Rodeo, New Mexico, but in Arizona, at 32° N latitude. On the Astro-Physics AP400 mount, autoguided with the Lacerta MGEN3 stand-alone auto-guider. The field was low in the south in the early evening, and prone to some blurring and atmospheric refraction, but was still high enough to provide good sky quality for 80 minutes of shooting.
Then, by August of last year (and again, this may have occurred earlier; not exactly sure when), the clearance section got a makeover to the just barely current blue and orange promotional décor. I say just barely because also in August, the new Germantown Kroger on Farmington Blvd. opened with the new woodgrain promotional décor, while the nearby store on Exeter Road closed with this blue and orange stuff. Around the same time and everywhere else in the store, Hernando got the new stuff... just not here.

Tusker at Mudumalai Wildlife Santuary, Tamil Nadu, India
This Indian elephant (Elephas maximus indicus) is a tusker. Tusker are elephants with large 'tusks', like this one. Tusks are in fact teeth! It is rare to see these brilliant tuskers in the wild due to poaching for their ivory and loss of habitat. Within a space of few decades, these animals have been reduced in number. My uncles (who were legendary in their pursuit of fun and the good times) used to tell me numerous stories of their expereince in the jungles of South India from over half century ago; including their many encounters with wild tuskers. I have only their stories to go by now, for all my time in the forests I have yet to see a majestic tusker like this. Now, many of these tuskers are relegated to the temples of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
This friendly tusker can be found at the elephant work camp in Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary (in the north west part of Tamil Nadu along the border with Kerala). Elephant rides are provided for tourists in the morning and evening into the forest. It is unlikely you will see any wildlife while on these elephants; for better wildlife viewing opportunities one must go on dusk & dawn van rides, that are organized by the government, into restricted trails in the jungle. The elephant 'workcamp' employs tribals from the local area. When I got on one of these elephants, I shot question after question to the friendly mahout: Have you seen a tiger? Do you think we can see a tiger today? What are the chances of seeing a tiger today? Whoa, it will be so cool to see a tiger this morning right? He answered them patiently one after the other; he must have had experience with 'hyperactives'.
Then he told me a story of how long back one of the elephants carrying tourists got spooked by a wild elephants and suddenly decided to do a 50 meter dash -- along with the now-not-so-camera-happy tourists on his back. That episode, he told me, ended with a crushed leg for one (as the device people sit on came crashing down) and three other shaken, suddenly-religious, tourists. My questions to the mahout stopped immediately --as one couldn't ask questions and pray profusely at the same time. I asked good lord to resicnd my earlier request to see a wild elephant or a tiger for that matter; nothing that would spook the elephant. My prayers were answered: no wild elephants, no tigers and an uncrushed , perfectly working legs. What more can anyone want from a safari!:)

The central criminal courts, Old Bailey, London. Seen after heavy Spring rain.
The court originated as the sessions house of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the City of London and of Middlesex. The original medieval court was first mentioned in 1585; it was next to the older Newgate gaol, and seems to have grown out of the endowment to improve the gaol and rooms for the Sheriffs, made possible by a gift from Richard Whittington. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt in 1674, with the court open to the weather to prevent the spread of disease.
Plaque commemorating Bushel's Case of 1670
In 1734 it was refronted, enclosing the court and reducing the influence of spectators: this led to outbreaks of typhus, notably in 1750 when 60 people died, including the Lord Mayor and two judges. It was rebuilt again in 1774 and a second courtroom was added in 1824. Over 100,000 criminal trials were carried out at the Old Bailey between 1674 and 1834
In 1834, it was renamed as the Central Criminal Court and its jurisdiction extended beyond that of London and Middlesex to the whole of the English jurisdiction for trials of major cases. Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service manages the courts and administers the trials but the building itself is owned by the City of London Corporation, which finances the building, the running of it, the staff and the maintenance out of their own resources.
The court was originally intended as the site where only criminals accused of crimes committed in the City and Middlesex were tried. However, in 1856, there was public revulsion at the accusations against the doctor William Palmer that he was a poisoner and murderer. This led to fears that he could not receive a fair trial in his native Staffordshire. The Central Criminal Court Act 1856 was passed to enable his trial to be held at the Old Bailey.
In the 19th century, the Old Bailey was a small court adjacent to Newgate gaol. Hangings were a public spectacle in the street outside until May 1868. The condemned would be led along Dead Man's Walk between the prison and the court, and many were buried in the walk itself. Large, riotous crowds would gather and pelt the condemned with rotten fruit and vegetables and stones. In 1807, 28 people were crushed to death after a pie-seller's stall overturned. A secret tunnel was subsequently created between the prison and St Sepulchre's church opposite, to allow the chaplain to minister to the condemned man without having to force his way through the crowds.
The present Old Bailey building dates from 1902 but it was officially opened on 27 February 1907. It was designed by E. W. Mountford and built on the site of the infamous Newgate gaol, which was demolished to allow the court buildings to be constructed. Above the main entrance is inscribed the admonition: "Defend the Children of the Poor & Punish the Wrongdoer". King Edward VII opened the courthouse.
Lady Justice statue on the top of the court building
On the dome above the court stands a bronze statue of Lady Justice, executed by the British sculptor F. W. Pomeroy. She holds a sword in her right hand and the scales of justice in her left. The statue is popularly supposed to show blind Justice, however, the figure is not blindfolded: the courthouse brochures explain that this is because Lady Justice was originally not blindfolded, and because her “maidenly form” is supposed to guarantee her impartiality which renders the blindfold redundant.
During the Blitz of World War II, the Old Bailey was bombed and severely damaged, but subsequent reconstruction work restored most of it in the early 1950s. In 1952, the restored interior of the Grand Hall of the Central Criminal Court was once again open. The interior of the Great Hall (underneath the dome) is decorated with paintings commemorating the Blitz, as well as quasi-historical scenes of St Paul's Cathedral with nobles outside. Running around the entire hall are a series of axioms, some of biblical reference. They read:
"The law of the wise is a fountain of life"
"The welfare of the people is supreme"
"Right lives by law and law subsists by power"
"Poise the cause in justice's equal scales"
"Moses gave unto the people the laws of God"
"London shall have all its ancient rights"
The Great Hall (and the floor beneath it) is also decorated with many busts and statues, chiefly of British monarchs, but also of legal figures, and those who achieved renown by campaigning for improvement in prison conditions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This part of the building also houses the shorthand-writers' offices.
The lower level also hosts a minor exhibition on the history of the Old Bailey and Newgate featuring historical prison artefacts.
In 1973, the Belfast Brigade of the Provisional IRA exploded a car bomb in the street outside the courts, killing one and injuring 200 people. A shard of glass is preserved as a reminder, embedded in the wall at the top of the main stairs.
South Block extension
Between 1968 and 1972, a new South Block, designed by the architects Donald McMorran and George Whitby, was built to accommodate more modern courts. There are presently 18 courts in use. Court 19 is now used variously as a press overflow facility, as a registration room for first-day jurors or as a holding area for serving jurors.
The original ceremonial gates to the 1907 part of the building are only used by the Lord Mayor and visiting royalty. The general entrance to the building is a few yards down the road in the South Block and is often featured as a backdrop in television news reports. There is also a separate rear entrance, not open to the public, which permits more discreet access. In Warwick Square, on the western side of the complex, is the "Lord Mayor's Entrance".
A remnant of the city wall is preserved in the basement beneath the cells.

Fulfilling the needs of the American and British automatic riflemen, Sweetwater's Kodiak™ light machine is on the top tier of infantry automatic weapons. The Kodiak was designed and tested to surpass the needs and replace the FN 249 SAW; The Kodiak beats the 249 in almost ever needed criteria -Kodiak weighs 12 and half pounds unloaded, features a simple gas tappet system, is capable of changing to .300BLK and 6.8SPC with barrel removal, is more versatile and is cheaper to produce. The Kodiak standard fire rate is less than the 249's at about 850 ROF and has its barrel chrome-lined for accuracy and flutted for reduced weight. The extractor geometry is designed to keep hot brass away from the shooter's arm and reduce extractor wear. The US Army's 173rd Airborne Combat Brigade tested the Kodiak while on a 1-year deployment and reported that the weapon system sustained zero jams while in the field, was easier to carry and shoot, required little maintenance, and didn't overheat as quickly as the 249.

Bleak weather at the scrapyard suits 87011 awaiting its fate at the hands of the scrappers (which happened later the same month).
This was the only Class 87 that I ever footplated. A friend and I were very lucky to get a cab ride (down the WCML back in the late 1970s).
87011 was built at BREL Crewe Works and delivered to BR on 25 October 1974.
Under privatisation, it was sold to leasing firm Porterbrook and stayed with Virgin West Coast (VWC).
After going off lease with VWC in December 2003, it was withdrawn and stored at Willesden.
On 4 April 2004, it was moved to MOD Bicester for further safe storage.
In 2006, the stored locos at Bicester were all cleared, so on 10 April 2006, 87011 was taken by rail to Long Marston.
Noted on 21 December 2008 a being prepared for Buldaria by by Europhoenix, this never happened. Instead 87011 became a parts donor for the 21 Class 87s that did get sent to Bulmarket, Bulgaria.
Deregistered on 2 October 2010 from the SBXL storage pool, it's fate was nearing and it was prepared for scrapping.
Transported on 4 October to EMR, Kinsgbury by road it lasted until around 25 January 2011, by when it had been reduced to 2 cabs and a frame.
Church on top of a skyscraper?
This is reduced by around 60 % - big panorama of stitched verticals again.
The Chicago Temple building houses the First United Methodist Church, which is Chicago’s oldest congregation.
The main church occupies the first 3 floors. This top portion has something called the "Chapel in the Sky." The senior pastor lives up there, from what I've been told, and has a private balcony. Very interesting to see this on top of a skyscraper.
It was the tallest building in Chicago when it opened in 1924, but the Chicago Board of Trade Building was built a tiny bit higher in 1930.

Previously, Delta has already revealed that capacity is to be reduced into the UK for the upcoming Winter 2016/2017 schedule following the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union.
Airline Route has published two different schedule changes mainly affecting its London Heathrow routes, the two schedule changes are during the Winter 2016 timeframe and Summer 2017 timeframe.
For the Winter 2016/2017 schedule, Delta is to switch operational aircraft on both its London Heathrow to Detroit and Minneapolis routes. The changes commence from 29th October 2016 until 25th March 2017, which include:
-Detroit: DL18/19 converts from Boeing 767-400ER to Boeing 767-300ER operation, converting back to Boeing 767-400ER for the Summer 2017 schedule whilst DL16/17 will operate utilise Boeing 767-300ER's.
-Minneapolis: DL10/11 converts from Boeing 767-400ER to Boeing 767-300ER operation.
The Summer 2017 schedule sees Delta recommencing its 3rd daily flight between London Heathrow and Atlanta, following the announcement that Virgin Atlantic will be transferring one of two daily flights back over to Delta.
DL28/29 will continue to utilise Boeing 767-400ER's, DL30/31 will utilise Boeing 767-300ER's, however DL32/33 will utilise Airbus A330-300's.
For the first time since Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines merger, Airbus A330's operated by the US carrier will make a comeback after a lengthy absence (not including emergency diversions). Prior to the merger, Northwest Airlines regularly utilised Airbus A330's into London, first at Gatwick during the Bermuda II Agreement and finally London Heathrow from 2008 following the introduction of the EU-US Open Skies Agreement.
During the merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines as both fleets started to be integrated, Airbus A330's were largely concentrated operating from major SkyTeam hubs, however with the fleet integration, Boeing 767's beame concentrated on other routes.
Delta currently operates the largest Boeing 767 fleet in the world with 91 in service, which includes 12 Boeing 767-300's, 58 Boeing 767-300ER's and 21 Boeing 767-400ER's.
November Eight Three Six Mike Hotel is one of 21 Boeing 767-400ER's in service with Delta, delivered new to the carrier in December 2000 and she is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80C2B7F engines.

Some Young History.
Like all the areas of the western slopes of NSW this was once the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri Aboriginal people. Their lands covered one of the biggest agricultural regions of Australia. There was little conflict in this region and diseases more than pastoralist action reduced their numbers considerably within a couple of years of white pastoral occupation. Like so many areas beyond the declared Nineteen Counties- the legal limit of white settlement in the 1820s and 1830s - the first pastoralist was white squatter James White in 1826. This free settler established his Burrangong station on the banks of Stoney Creek on the advice of a local Aboriginal man, Coborn Jackie. James White never married but his brother joined him and the first white child born in the region was his niece Sarah White in 1830. She lived to be 107 years old. The district was rich as the soils were volcanic soils and numerous streams ran westward to the lower areas of western NSW. The area where the sheep flocks of White rested for their lambing became known as Lambing Flat. Another pastoralist Edward Taylor planted some cherry trees in 1847. In the 1840s these squatters got licensing and later leasehold rights over the land. Until the upheaval of 1860. Gold was discovered then by James White’s nephew Dennis Regan and Alexander the Yankee with it being reported in the press in August 1860.
By mid-1861 20,000 miners were at Lambing Flat including 2,000 Chinese diggers. The Chinese were resented and some argue that the origins of the White Australia Policy stem from the xenophobia of Lambing Flat. There is no direct linkage here but the sentiments foreshadowed the Commonwealth policy of 1901. A group of white diggers drove off 500 Chinese miners in November of 1860 and violence and distrust continued as they destroyed their tents. The NSW government acted quickly and a Gold Commissioner and troops were despatched to Lambing Flat two weeks later. A further group of Chinese were driven away in December. In early January a similar incident occurred but this time the diggers threatened to attack the police troops if they interfered. Despite 30 police troops at Lambing Flat a further indecent occurred at the end of January when hundreds of Chinese were frightened off the fields and their tens burnt. A Miners Protective League was formed to expel the Chinese. This did not happen on other goldfields so why Lambing Flat? No one really knows. In March the government sent 300 troops to Lambing Flat armed with cannon and a defensive compound was erected. The last violence occurred in late June and early July 1861 when 3,000 miners attacked the Chinese, cut off pigtails and stole property and burnt tents. One European miner was killed in the melee. Next they attacked the fortified gaol in order to release some imprisoned miners for violence on the goldfields. One miner was killed by the police during the riot which happened near the current main street of Young. The Courthouse and police station were burnt down by the protesters. Calm quickly returned and the police regained control of the goldfields. Were the miners influenced by their knowledge of Eureka? Is this really a foreshadowing of the emergence of the workers unions? Five miners were tried for crimes in Goulburn Courthouse later in 1861 but were all acquitted and then the NSW government passed the Chinese Immigration Restriction Act in November 1861. The miners appeared to have won the battle. The anti-Chinese banner which the rioters carried was hidden for 100 years but re-discovered in Young in the 1960s. It is now in the town museum. The Lambing Flat Folk Museum in Young has artefacts to tell the story of the Lambing Flat riots and the bushranging era. It also has the name plate of Coborn Jackie the Aboriginal friend and advisor of James White.
The town of Yong was surveyed in March of 1861 during the goldfield violence. The name of Lambing Flat was already tainted by then and the town was named Young after Sir John Young the Governor of NSW from 1861 to 1867. Town blocks were sold in May 1861 and before the end of that year Young had a Post Office, a school, a bank, an Anglican and a Catholic church and a newspaper. A hospital and a new Courthouse were erected in 1862. At that time Young was having about 124,000 ounces of gold escorted out of the town annually. But the rush was over by 1864 and less and less gold was being located by 1867. The town turned into an agricultural service centre with a saw mill (1865), a flour mill (1866), a brewery (1877) and finally railway (1885). The town then got a tannery, a soap factory, a work boot factory, a brick kiln, meat works and butter factory all before 1900. In 1889 Young became the first town outside of Sydney to have a domestic electricity supply for its residents. The arrival of the railway in 1885 allowed farmers to experiment with fruit crops as the train could speed them to markets in Sydney. Apples, oranges and plums were the first grown commercially in the 1890s and one farmer in the 1890s had a cherry orchard with 7,000 fruiting trees and 3,000 seedling cherries. Others followed suit and by 1908 Young was railing 15,000 cases of cherries to Sydney each season. Major expansion of the cherry industry occurred in the 1920s with 77 orchards near Young and it was soon the second most important cherry growing region of NSW after Orange. Young began holding a cherry festival in 1949 and still does each year in early December when picking is in full swing.
Some interesting buildings in Boorowa Street and vicinity are:
•In Zouch Street is the Gothic Anglican Church built in 1893. Architect was Edmund Blacket. The first Anglican Church was built on this spot in 1865. Adjacent is the red brick 1937 Rectory and the 1866 Anglican school room.

•Beyond the park is Young High School. It began as the first Courthouse on these goldfields in 1861. A second grand classical Greek temple building Courthouse opened in 1886 at a cost of £12,000. It was given to the Education Department in 1924. With additions it opened as the Young High School in 1947.
•Young railway station. The railway reached here from Harden in 1885 when the Gothic station was built. It is now the Information Centre.
