Crew members from Granite Construction look over one of the five new temporary speed limit signs that will be installed on northbound I-5 between Burlington and Bellingham. The first sign will be installed just north of the SR 20 interchange in Burlington.
The signs are changeable, and allow crews to reduce the speed limit to 60 mph while they are working on I-5, and switch them back to 70 mph when they leave.
The signs are expected to be used beginning the week of June 13. Please watch for the speed reduction signs and our crews. You can help us to keep traffic flowing smoothly and keep the work zone safe.

At the Extinction Rebellion camp, KC (aka Spidy), draws attention to a poster aimed at raising awareness about climate change. Reducing the demand for meat may decrease the environmental impact of meat production by influencing how much meat is produced.
The 2006 report Livestock's Long Shadow, released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, states that "the livestock sector is a major stressor on many ecosystems and on the planet as a whole.” Globally it is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases.

Q: Did Bloomberg, Trump, or Guilliani send their children to a NYC public school?
A: HELL NO!
Why? Because the "No Child Left Behind Act" has nailed the head on the coffin of the U.S.'s already crumbling public education system. NYC is the largest public school system in America (indeed, the world), comprising over one million students.
In fact, with Bloomberg's help, the NYC Public School system has managed to get worse. This issue is pandemic & it's eating our country alive. I personally don't know anyone with children who send their children to NYC public schools (firemen, police officers & working class citizens included).
And why not? Because those in power no longer place value in the PUBLIC SCHOOL education of our country. Look at whose attending the public schools in America. Don't get me wrong, America does value education, only, it's private education they value. Education of the wealthy elite, for the wealthy elite. Yes folks, the corporatization of America is nearly complete!
Theres no excuse. NYC is market ONE, after all! Here, we have the TOP of the TOP industries, including: Finance, Publishing, Higher Education, Advertising, Architecture, Entertainment, News, Health Care. Yet, we have some of the worst public schools in the country.
The nation's cream of the crop flock to NYC, competing for world domination on a global scale! That's a hell of a lot of brain power & talent amassed in a central location. In a town where hedge fund honchos make $300 billion a year & a starting NYC public school teacher makes $43K, no wonder we're in trouble. Where's the education love?
There's a reason we don't have universal heath care. There's a reason our public schools are a wreck. There's a reason why average Americans start accumulating debt at 18 & spend the rest of their lives in a form of indentured servitude. There's a reason 99% of Americans' incorrectly call America a democracy when, in fact, it is a Constitutional Republic. There's a reason why our Constitutional Rights have been stripped from us over the past 7 years faster than a pro can take off her undergarments.
Wake up people.
For the betterment of tomorrow, please, people, GET INVOLVED! Get involved in something, ANYTHING. A great start would be to stop quibbling over B.S. We MUST start by ridding ourselves of the systems which have a choke-hold on us. I'd consider abolishing the Federal Reserve & printing our own money to be THE place to start, because Fiat's not just a car baby. And whilst you're not driving it, you better bet it's driving you!
Everything begins with education. I myself attended public school's in America's dead last-place state for education, yet received one of the finest educations of most people I've encountered. An Eaton / Oxford educated associate of mine once looked upon me in shock after I'd helped advise him through his sixth consecutive successful business deal. He was an international banking / finance in the airline industry & couldn't figure out how the hell a S.C. "artist" could possibly be dishing the same advice as the President of Boeing.
The answer? Education! I never stop learning & there's absolutely no longer any excuse for ignorance. Period.
DO SOMETHING!

The Eco Cleaner is a portable dishwasher and composter that uses ultrasonic
waves to ionise food and turn it in to reusable waste. Ahi Andy Mohsen’s
concept is designed for use within the increasing numbers of single
households and specifically meeting dual predictions: that future food will
be supplied in capsule form (thus reducing the required size of vessels to
prepare and eat from); and that there will be reduced time for household
chores. The Eco Cleaner is simultaneously green and space efficient.
Savio is present since late 1950’s in twisting technology, first with ring twisting machine FM280 in 1949, followed by the first two-for-twister in 1963. With a wide range of Two-for-one twisters diversified for different market requirements, Savio twisting machines respond to the demands of customers looking for a significant reduction in labor and energy.
Besides the demand to sustain low investment costs and lower energy consumption, the customers also take on great importance time and cost of maintenance. These models foresee: a high structural standardization, a wide range both for feeding and spindle dimensions for every yarn type and count, electronic solutions to simplify the operator intervention and reduce the maintenance workforce.
Lisbon's tram network, in its rather reduced form, consisted of five routes. The 12, an incredibly steep one-way loop from Praca Martim Moniz up to Sao Tome then back down again by a different route, the 15 route linking Lisbon city centre with Belem and Alges along the river to the west, the 18, which shared much of its length with the 15 before branching off and heading uphill to Ajuda, and the 25 and 28 routes which climbed some of the most fearsome gradients in this hilly city. The 28 was particularly noteworthy for some of the tight streets which it traversed, with interlaced track and buildings within touching distance of the cars. Stiff gradients and tight corners were features of all but the 15, which was the main reason why rebuilt traditional four-wheelers were the order of the day. However the 15, which was relatively flat and straight, had as part of the modernisation of the system acquired ten modern low-floor articulated cars, designed by Siemens-Duwag and built either in Spain or Portugal.
On the 15, the artics rubbed shoulders rather incongruously with the Remodelados, which used their pantographs on this route but their trolley poles on the hilly routes. The artics, which only frequented the 15, only had pantographs. Here 510, decked out in a vinyl advert for Vodafone, pauses at Comercio on its way west. As these trams are single ended, they only have doors on one side.
Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2015
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by Queen Elizabeth II, principal members of the Royal Family normally including the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
The parade consists mainly of an extensive march past by veterans, with military bands playing music following the list of the Traditional Music of Remembrance.
Other members of the British Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The Queen
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
The following is complied from press reports on 8 November 2015:
"The nation paid silent respect to the country's war dead today in a Remembrance Sunday service. Leading the nation in remembrance, as ever, was the Queen, who first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 1945 and has done so every year since, except on the four occasions when she was overseas.
Dressed in her customary all-black ensemble with a clutch of scarlet poppies pinned against her left shoulder, she stepped forward following the end of the two-minute silence marked by the sounding of Last Post by 10 Royal Marine buglers.
The Queen laid her wreath at the foot of the Sir Edwin Lutyens Portland stone monument to the Glorious Dead, then stood with her head momentarily bowed.
She was joined by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to the Cenotaph for the first time to lay a wreath marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by British troops.
Watched by his wife Queen Maxima, who stood next to the Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box, the King laid a wreath marked with the simple message, 'In remembrance of the British men and women who gave their lives for our future.'
Wreaths were then laid by members of the Royal Family, all wearing military uniform: Prince Philip; then Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Prince William at the same time ; then Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent at the same time.
Three members of the Royal Family laying wreaths at the same time was an innovation in 2015 designed to slightly reduce the amount of time of the ceremony and thereby reduce the time that the Queen had to be standing.
Prince Charles attended a remembrance service in New Zealand.
The Prime Minister then laid a wreath. The Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, appeared at the Cenotaph for the first time. He wore both a suit and a red poppy for the occasion.
His bow as he laid a wreath marked with the words 'let us resolve to create a world of peace' was imperceptible – and not enough for some critics. Yet unlike the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Battle service earlier this year, Mr Corbyn did join in with the singing of the national anthem.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Duke of Cambridge took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
Time takes its inevitable toll on even the most stoic among us, and this year only a dozen World War Two veterans marched with the Spirit of Normandy Trust, a year after the Normandy Veterans' Association disbanded.
Within their ranks was 95-year-old former Sapper Don Sheppard of the Royal Engineers. Sheppard was of the eldest on parade and was pushed in his wheelchair by his 19-year-old grandson, Sam who, in between studying at Queen Mary University, volunteers with the Normandy veterans.
'It is because of my admiration for them,' he says. 'I see them as role models and just have the utmost respect for what they did.'
While some had blankets covering their legs against the grey November day, other veterans of more recent wars had only stumps to show for their service to this country during 13 long years of war in Afghanistan.
As well as that terrible toll of personal sacrifice, the collective losses – and triumphs - of some of the country’s most historic regiments were also honoured yesterday.
The Gurkha Brigade Association - marking 200 years of service in the British Army – marched to warm ripples of applause. The King’s Royal Hussars, represented yesterday by 126 veterans, this year also celebrate 300 years since the regiment was raised.
They were led by General Sir Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and Colonel of the regiment who himself was marching for the first time.
'We are joined by a golden thread to all those generations who have gone before us,” he said. “We are who we are, because of those that have gone before us.' "

Following a trumpetfish whilst snorkelling on the house reef at Centara Grand Island Resort in the Maldives
Trumpetfish occur in waters between 0.5 and 30 meters (1.6 and appr. 100 feet) deep and can grow to 40 to 80 cm (appr. 15 to 31 inches) in length. They are sometimes locally abundant over coral atoll reefs or in lagoons
Trumpetfish are closely related to cornetfish. Trumpetfish can be a bit more than 36 inches (3 ft) long and have greatly elongated bodies with small jaws at the front end of a long, tubular snout. The gills are pectinate, resembling the teeth of a comb, and a soft dorsal fin is found near the tail fin. A series of spines occurs in front of the dorsal fin. Trumpetfish vary in colour from dark brown to greenish but also yellow in some areas. A black streak, sometimes reduced to a dark spot, occurs along the jaw, and a pair of dark spots is sometimes found on the base of the tail fin.
Trumpetfish swim slowly, sneaking up on unsuspecting prey, or lie motionless like a floating stick, swaying back and forth with the wave action of the water. They are adept at camouflaging themselves and often swim in alignment with other larger fishes. They feed almost exclusively on small fish, such as wrasses and atheriniformes,by sucking them suddenly into their small mouths.

The light saber was intensely red and overpowered the photo and turned her face red too! I reduced the redness of this photo in Lightroom.

In a pillbox at 35,000 feet
the real problem with business travel becomes readily apparent
This airborne defiance of fundamental physics has reduced us,
made us pop quiz parachutists
to Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston
to tired to explore the hills outside town
to grumpy to talk with the chipper waitress at the chain restaurant
where we ate last night
Hunting for shadows against a cloud,
some evidence of something more than transience
All this country conquered but unexplored and unnoticed
down in the checkerboard plains
or tucked in the snow covered ridges that look
like the paramecium doodles in a bored high schooler’s notebook
in a farmhouse beyond the interstate
there’s a man willing to share a cup of coffee if you knock
there’s a girl in Louisiana, aching
wondering if she’ll ever find the right man
there’s a boy in New York about to turn over the engine
on a rusting ‘92 Explorer
and drive it till it can’t go on
Let me ride shotgun
leaving the superhighways behind
crumpling up the map in the back seat with the empty soda cans
Peel back the top of this tin can
and cut the cords to my chute
and let me free fall into some roadside shack of a blues bar
where the beer is cold
and the jukebox only plays
long slow sexy guitar solos
Come talk with me and drink and dance close and breathe deep
until they throw us out

2013 Sequestration: Agencies Reduced Some Services and Investments, While Taking Certain Actions to Mitigate Effects
Village Urumulu, Araku Block, Dist. Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA..Children pose for photograph inside the Anganwadi centre. .The One Full Meal is a state government programme that aims at improving the nutrient intake of pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers and reducing the prevalence and severity of maternal anemia. The programme reaches over 350,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers across some 26,000 anganwadi centres (about 30 per cent of ICDS projects in state) located in villages where malnutrition rates are high. Some 7,600 (29 per cent) of these anganwadi centres are located in hard to reach Adivasi villages. UNICEF aids this ICDS programme with training officials, development and capacity building in aganwadis.One Full Meal entitles pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers to receive a free nutritious meal every day between 11 am and 2 pm at the village anganwadi centre 25 days per month. The hot-cooked meal - prepared daily by the anganwadi helper - contains 125 grams of cereal, 30 grams of pulses, 50 grams of green leafy vegetables, 50 grams of egg and 200 ml of milk, and provides 1052 kilocalories, 33 grams of protein, and about 500 mg of calcium (i.e. about 40 per cent of the daily requirement of these nutrients). After the meal, the women who participate in the programme receive on-the-spot iron and folic acid supplements for the control of iron deficiency and anemia, are counseled by the anganwadi worker on how to improve their dietary intake and nutrition, and are encouraged to use the services provided at the monthly Village Health and Nutrition Day. The anganwadi worker keeps a record of the women who are enrolled in the programme, the services they receive, the weight they gain during pregnancy and the weight of their children at birth.

Vincent van Gogh 1853 - 1890
De zaaier, 1888
The sower
olieverf op doek / oil on canvas
Vincent van Gogh Stichting
Van Gogh maakte diverse variaties op dit onderwerp: een zaaier in een veld, met een ondergaande zon. Opvallend in deze versie zijn de felle, onnatuurlijke kleuren en de indeling van het beeldvlak, waarbij de knoestige boom op de voorgrond het doek diagonaal doorsnijdt. Deze bijzondere compositie is waarschijnlijk geinspireerd op voorbeelden uit de Japanse prentkunst.
Van Gogh made a number of variations on a theme depicting a sower in front of a setting sun. Especially striking in this version are the bright, unnatural colours and the unusual composition, in which the knotty tree in the foreground constitutes a diagonal division of the canvas. His inspiration for this may have come from a Japanese print.

The original to this image was a nice, but not truly remarkable portrait. Reduction sometimes works wonders ...
This has been reduced from a complete car back in August to the vandalised wreck seen here. The wheels were the first to go, but I was surprised to see the doors missing now. This is the closest I could get, so I don't know how the car ended up on here, or how the vandals got to it.
Our engineers reduced the depth of the chase and work surface on our award-winning Sight-Line furniture to create a compact, space-saving command console with a smaller footprint that meets ergonomic standards.
Insight consoles feature a high-density profile.
Consoles contain a compact overall depth of 32″.
Consoles are ideal if you’re challenged for space but need a fully functional control room console.
