Tom, a week before, had gotten out of the hospital after a weeks stay with an infected gall bladder and had resumed his Kemo treatments for pancreatic cancer. He has lost a lot of weight and stamina but remains in high spirits. We make quite a pair!.. Him with his walking sticks and me hobbling along on a worn and painful hip!
If you are so inclined, I ask for your prayers for Tom!
In the period of the year with the shortest days, Gracie (and Millie) does not use the dinner table chairs. When the days grow longer, she resumes spending time on these chairs (including at night). Unless she is sleeping, she frequently hangs over the front left corner of the seat. Taken by Edgar.
Amtrak 966 special passes the Port Henry station with the 108 50th anniversary locomotive. This will probably be the last special crew requalifying train as the "Adirondack" finally resumes service to Montreal after a three year hiatus.
It was great fun to watch this Green Heron catch and devour a number of fish along the canal. This seemed to be the favored perch to hunt from as the bird returned time and time again to resume the hunt.
Arcadia Marsh Nature Preserve - Arcadia, MI
This is no ordinary fishing, there might be several methods of catching a fish but this one is mind-boggling. Fishermen in Sri Lanka use stilts to catch a fish. Yes, stilt fishing is an old tradition practiced by around 500 fishing families in Galle, in southwestern-most Sri Lanka, especially around the towns of Kathaluwa and Ahangama. It had disappeared after the 2004 tsunami that struck Sri Lanka and other countries bordering the Indian Ocean, but resumed after things got back to normal. Its a beautiful sight looking at fishermen balancing on a thin plank, but at the same time its tough too. All this effort and toiling only to preserve their old custom, wonderful! They usually fish during sunset, noon and sunrise, with each one taking their elevated position and balancing about 2 metres above the water. As you can see in the picture above, there is a vertical pole engrafted into the sea bed, attached to it is a cross bar, called petta, on which the fishermen do the balancing act..
Thank you for your visit, kind comments and faves. Always greatly appreciated.
Un rapace perdu dans le silence du soir, immobile sur une branche nue, face à un ciel dénudé.
Une image dépouillée où la nature se résume à trois éléments : l’oiseau, l’arbre et la lumière.
Dans cette simplicité se cache toute la force du minimalisme : moins d’objets, plus de présence.

A raptor lost in the silence of evening, motionless on a bare branch against a stripped‑down sky.
A stripped‑back image where nature reduces itself to three elements: the bird, the tree, and the light.
Within this simplicity lies the strength of minimalism: fewer things, more presence.

Lol, actually this lovely nanna was helping what I guess to be her little grandson to wave jump. I have my outrageous hat on today because my mood isn't so good....Alas Beau my Golden Retriever has misplaced one of the two ancient teddies (well the lost one is a Lion actually but was soft and raggy ) the same as the old Teddy we purchased quickly for when I bought him home from the whelping pen. I rubbed both into his smelly fur and and he has suckled on one or the other over the ten years of his life... we have searched for days but can't find Lion anywhere. I woke at 4.30 am and at 6.30 am was almost sick with tiredness trying to think of new places to look. Even my son joined the search yesterday and both Jon and I resumed this morning. No Lion ........
Several hours later 4 worn knees ( I even knelt on the bar divider between a cloak room and hall and am limping badly. We are going to try the shed in a little while when we feel a little recovered…Beau keeps lying all morose in his dog bed in the kitchen 😞
The monthly producer's market has resumed; on the way back, I noticed some trees had been felled, opening out this view of a tasty house and lake!

Situated at the foot of Montmartre, it is notable as the first example of reinforced concrete in church construction. Built from 1894 through 1904, it was designed by architect Anatole de Baudot, a student of Viollet-le-Duc and Henri Labrouste. The brick and ceramic tile-faced structure exhibits features of Art Nouveau design while exploiting the superior structural qualities of reinforced concrete with lightness and transparency. The Art Nouveau stained glass was executed by Jac Galland according to the design of Pascal Blanchard. Interior sculpture was by Pierre Roche.
The reinforced concrete structure followed a system developed by the engineer Paul Cottancin. Construction was attended by skepticism over the properties of the new material, which violated rules laid down for unreinforced masonry construction. A lawsuit delayed construction, resulting in a demolition order that was not resolved until 1902, when construction was resumed.
Utah has eased its restrictions and re-opened some of the services. Here at Action Photo Tours, we are cautiously resuming our operations with strict sanitation protocols. Luckily, our small group and off-the-beaten path approaches lend well to social distancing. While we are cautiously optimistic about the future, inside we are as joyous as the happy horse in this image.

Mon troisième jour sur Séoul. Une matinée où je traîne encore dans les quartiers environnants la "Galerie K" où j'expose. L'art me semble présent ici et partout, s'affichant sous de si nombreuses formes. Ici aussi, comme à Tokyo, des immeubles peuvent être entièrement consacrés à une galerie unique. Eaux et gaz à tous les étages. Dans l'un d'entre eux, je ne croiserais pas âme qui vive sur 4 étages. Je finirai sur sa terrasse à succomber à l'enivrement des lieux et de la cité. Après un déjeuner délicieux composé surtout d'une poule cuite au bouillon, farcie de riz aromatisé, je file vers l'ambassade des Etats Unis, en passant par le bâtiment 119, histoire de prendre la température suite à l'énorme manifestation de la veille. Calme plat, flics un peu partout. Là se trouve aussi l'immense Palais royal de Gyeongbokgung. Un lieu où tout est vaste. Ici le mystère s'établit pas à pas devant vos yeux. J'y pénétrerai le lendemain et assisterai même à la levée de sa garde. Un peu plus tard après une nouvelle douche à l'hôtel, je reprendrai ma marche errante dans la nuit de Séoul. Le GPS sera ma boussole en des lieux que je ne saurai nommer, désolé.

My third day on Seoul. A morning where I still hang in the surrounding neighborhoods "Gallery K" where I expose. Art seems to me here and everywhere, appearing in so many forms. Here too, as in Tokyo, buildings can be entirely dedicated to a single gallery. Water and gas on all floors. In one of them, where I would not cross a living soul on 4 floors. I will finish on his terrace to succumb to the intoxication of the place and the city. After a delicious lunch consisting mostly of a chicken cooked in broth, stuffed with flavored rice, I go to the Embassy of the United States, through building 119, just to take the temperature following the huge demonstration of the day before. Quiet flat, cops everywhere. There is also the huge royal palace of Gyeongbokgung. A place where everything is vast. Here the mystery is established step by step before your eyes. I will enter the next day and will even attend the lifting of his guard. A little later after a new shower at the hotel, I will resume my wandering walk in the night of Seoul. The GPS will be my compass in places that I can not name,sorry.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Tung_Street:
Lee Tung Street (利東街), known as the Wedding Card Street (喜帖街; 囍帖街) by locals, is a street in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The street was famed in Hong Kong and abroad as a centre for publishing and for the manufacturing of wedding cards and other similar items.
As part of an Urban Renewal Authority (URA) project, all interests of Lee Tung Street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong since 1 November 2005, and subsequently demolished in December 2007. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.
The site was redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. As with all other URA projects, no original tenants have been resettled on site.
After the development, only small part of next to QRE Plaza is official there. The rest of street, rebuilt and rebranded as Lee Tung Avenue, is a pedestrian street open for public in the high-rise housing estate The Avenue.
The street was known for its printing industry, and Wan Chai was a longtime host of the headquarters of the Hong Kong Times, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po. In the 1950s, print shops began to gather in Lee Tung Street between Johnston Road and Queen's Road East. Rumours had it that the government of Hong Kong mandated this in order to easily monitor illegal publication.
The poet and translator Dai Wangshu also established a short-lived bookstore in Lee Tung Street in the early 1950s.
In the 1970s, the print shops also began producing wedding invitations, lai see, fai chun, and other items, for which they became famous in the 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people visited the shops there to order their wedding cards, name cards, and traditional Chinese calendars.
The orchids and flowers parade resumes. The foliage and flora in this gigantic greenhouse is a welcome escape for city slickers who can put the urban life out of their minds for awhile.
Well with a couple of days to go before he resumed his travels, we managed to see Wally on a trip to Tenby. Such good timing...
While in the midst of this “wait a little longer” I am going to hush my incessantly worrying mind and harness opportunity. There is a “resume” button on the horizon. So here we go.
Time to press “resume” and move forward into this year with expectancy. Step into the future.

La Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba (Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 1984) es el monumento más importante de todo el Occidente islámico y uno de los más asombrosos del mundo. En su historia se resume la evolución completa del estilo omeya en España, además de los estilos gótico, renacentista y barroco de la construcción cristiana.
El lugar que hoy ocupa nuestra Mezquita, Catedral parece haber estado, desde antiguo, dedicado al culto de diferentes divinidades. Bajo dominación visigoda se construyó en este mismo solar la basílica de San Vicente, sobre la que se edificó, tras el pago de parte del solar, la primitiva mezquita. Esta basílica, de planta rectangular fue compartida por los cristianos y musulmanes durante un tiempo. Cuando la población musulmana fue creciendo, la basílica fue adquirida totalmente por Abderraman I y destruida para la definitiva construcción de la primera Mezquita Alhama o principal de la ciudad. En la actualidad algunos elementos constructivos del edificio visigodo se encuentran integrados en el primer tramo de Abderraman I.
La gran Mezquita consta de dos zonas diferenciadas, el patio o sahn porticado, donde se levanta el alminar (bajo la torre renacentista), única intervención de Abd al- Rahman III, y la sala de oración o haram. El espacio interior se dispone sobre un concierto de columnas y arcadas bicolores de gran efecto cromático. Cinco son las zonas en las que se divide el recinto, correspondiendo cada una de ellas a las distintas ampliaciones llevadas a cabo.
Esta toma está emplazada donde se realizó la primera ampliación (821-852).
Abderraman II (822) amplió la sala de oración en ocho tramos hacia el sur, con una clara influencia abbasí en la decoración, fruto de los contactos políticos con el califato oriental y de la llegada de personajes de Oriente a la Península. Mohamed I da forma definitiva a la Puerta de San Esteban, de la que se desconoce su verdadero origen, si bien parece clara su posición estética entre el arte visigodo y el califal cordobés. Al anterior emir le sucede Al-Mundir y Abd-Allah. El primero levanta la sala del tesoro, de la que no se conoce el emplazamiento definitivo. El segundo construirá un pasadizo secreto o sabat que uniría el Alcázar califal con el mihrab.
------------------------------------------------
The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba (World Heritage since 1984) is the most important monument in the whole of the Islamic West and one of the most amazing in the world. In its history is summarized the complete evolution of the Umayyad style in Spain, as well as the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of Christian construction.
The place that today occupies our Mosque, Cathedral seems to have been, from old, dedicated to the cult of different divinities. Under Visigoth domination the basilica of San Vicente was built on this very site, on which the primitive mosque was built, after the payment of part of the lot. This rectangular basilica was shared by Christians and Muslims for a time. When the Muslim population was growing, the basilica was acquired entirely by Abderraman I and destroyed for the definitive construction of the first Alhama Mosque or main city. At present, some elements of the Visigothic building are integrated in the first section of Abderraman I.
The great Mosque consists of two distinct areas, the porticoed courtyard or sahn, where the minaret (under the Renaissance tower) rises. Abd al-Rahman III, and the prayer hall or haram. The interior space is arranged on a concert of columns and arcades bicolores of great chromatic effect. Five are the zones in which the enclosure is divided, each corresponding to the different enlargements carried out.
This socket is located where the first extension was made (821-852). Abderraman II (822) extended the prayer hall in eight sections to the south, with a clear Abbasid influence on the decoration, fruit of political contacts with the Eastern Caliphate and the arrival of characters from the East to the Peninsula. Mohamed I gives definitive form to the Gate of San Esteban, of which its true origin is unknown, although its aesthetic position between the visigodo art and the caliph of Cordoba seems clear. The former emir is succeeded by Al-Mundir and Abd-Allah. The first one raises the treasure room, of which the definitive location is not known. The second will build a secret passageway or sabbath that would link the Caliphate with the mihrab.

Friends, after a short break I resume again my photographic journey of LADAKH, INDIA.........
It is the wonder of Pangong Tso lake that it appears so different and dramatic at different times, as this one is really so different from blue hour!!
Ladakh Maps ( www.lehladakhindia.com/ladakhmaps )
Pangong Tso (Tibetan for "long, narrow, enchanted lake"), also referred to as Pangong Lake, is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas, located in ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, India; Rutog County, Tibet, China. Its situated at a height of about 14,270 ft. It is 134 km long, having max width 5 km, max depth 328 ft and a surface area of approx.700 km2 . It extends from India to Tibet. Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies in Tibet. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. It is not part of Indus river basin area and geographically a separate land locked river basin.
Formerly, Pangong Tso had an outlet to Shyok River, a tributary of Indus River, but it was closed off due to natural damming. Two streams feed the lake from the Indian side, forming marshes and wetlands at the edges. Strand lines above current lake level reveal a 16 ft thick layer of mud and laminated sand, suggesting the lake has shrunken recently in geological scale.
The lake is in the process of being identified under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance. This will be the first trans-boundary wetland in South Asia under the convention.
Pangong Tso is in disputed territory. The Line of Actual Control passes through the lake. A section of the lake approximately 20 km east from the Line of Actual Control is controlled by China but claimed by India. The eastern end of the lake is in Tibet and is not claimed by India. The western end of the lake is disputed between Pakistan and India as a part of the Kashmir dispute. After the mid-19th century, Pangong Tso was at the southern end of the so-called Johnson Line, an early attempt at demarcation between India and China in the Aksai Chin region.
Flora and fauna
The brackish water of the lake has very low micro-vegetation. Guides report that there are no fish or other aquatic life in the lake, except for some small crustaceans. On the other hand, visitors see numerous ducks and gulls over and on the lake surface. There are some species of scrub and perennial herbs that grow in the marshes around the lake.
The lake acts as an important breeding ground for a variety of birds including a number of migratory birds. During summer, the Bar-headed goose and Brahmini ducks are commonly seen here. The region around the lake supports a number of species of wildlife including the kiang and the Marmot.
Ukrainians!
Our defenders!
I am sure that you periodically see in the media - Ukrainian and Western - reports on how long this war can last. Some say a few weeks. Others - several years. Some say the war will last until the end of this year. And someone advises to prepare for a permanent confrontation with Russia as long as it exists.
Of course, I also hear different predictions. I have much more information than some media outlets about the intentions and capabilities of the Russian army. About the potential of the Russian economy. About the emotional state of society in Russia. All this must be taken into account before saying how long the war will last. Therefore, we must take into account the effectiveness of instruments of influence on Russia used by Ukraine and our entire anti-war coalition against Russia's aggression.
The success of our military on the battlefield is really significant. Historically significant. But not enough to clean our land from the occupiers yet. We’ll beat them more.
Sanctions against Russia are very significant. Economically painful. But still not enough for the Russian military machine to be left without means of subsistence. We promote stronger, more destructive ones.
So, in fact, it is these two areas that determine how long this war will last.
I always tell all our partners with whom I discuss this issue that the amount of support for Ukraine directly affects the restoration of peace. It literally defines how many more Ukrainians the occupiers will manage to kill.
If someone says: year or years, I answer: you can make the war much shorter. The more and the sooner we get all the weapons we have requested, the stronger our position will be and the sooner peace will come. The more and the sooner we get the financial support we have requested, the sooner there will be peace. The sooner the democratic world recognizes that the oil embargo against Russia and the complete blockade of its banking sector are necessary steps towards peace, the sooner the war will end.
So the number one task is to speed up the restoration of peace.
Our Armed Forces are doing it brilliantly. They are repelling the occupiers' attacks. They are carrying out counterattacks. They have already tormented - in the true sense of the word - Russian conventional aviation so much that they are forced to use strategic long-range aircraft.
I am grateful to each of our defenders for this great work.
Our diplomats must continue their activity in all possible directions, at all possible levels. Both official and unofficial.
The next package of sanctions against Russia must include an abandonment of Russian oil. In general, the democratic world must admit that money for Russian energy resources is in fact money for the destruction of democracy. When these decisions are made, we will all be able to see that peace is approaching.
I held a meeting with government officials today. The key topic is the solution of urgent economic issues that arose during martial law.
It was noted that four-fifths of all Ukrainian enterprises have already returned to work in a safe area. In particular, this applies to heavy industry enterprises. Transport networks are being rebuilt. Good performance is shown in trade and services. And all this is also the fulfillment of the national task of accelerating the restoration of peace.
That is why I am grateful to everyone who keeps jobs, who employs our people, who helps businesses adapt to these difficult conditions and gives Ukraine the necessary economic strength to live.
No matter what, in all cities and communities where there are no occupiers and hostilities, it is necessary to restore the economy to the maximum.
Energy issues and the end of this heating season were discussed. The season was successful in spite of everything. Despite all the predictions, tariffs have not increased. There were no rolling blackouts. Supplies were not disrupted even in wartime. Preparations have also begun for the next heating season. We discussed the purchase of gas, the purchase of coal.
We offer at least for the next 6 months the electricity tariff in the amount of 1 hryvnia 44 kopecks per kilowatt for those who use less than 250 kilowatts. This is 80% of our people.
The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food reported that the sowing campaign has begun and continues in all regions of our country, including Luhansk and Donetsk.
We also talked to government officials today about filling in the questionnaire that Ukraine received from President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. This is a necessary stage in the preparation of our country to become a candidate for EU membership. The work is almost complete, and we will soon provide the answers to the representatives of the European Union.
I held an important meeting today with all the leaders of the state power bloc. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Chief of the General Staff, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Commander of the National Guard, Minister of Internal Affairs, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine. The meeting was also attended by the Head of the President's Office, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and the head of our delegation at the negotiations. The main topic is Mariupol. Details cannot be made public at the moment. But we are doing everything to save our people.
The restoration of normal life in those areas and districts where the occupiers were expelled continues. The amount of work is really huge. 918 settlements of different scales, but equally important for us, for Ukraine, have already been de-occupied.
We carry out demining. We restore the supply of electricity, water and gas. We restore the work of the police, post office, state and local authorities.
Humanitarian headquarters have started working on the territory of 338 liberated settlements. We are resuming the provision of regular and emergency medical care, the work of educational institutions - where it is really possible. In total, on this day, Russian troops have destroyed or damaged 1,018 educational institutions across our country.
Restoration of roads and railways has begun. In particular, from tomorrow the railway connection with Chernihiv and Nizhyn will be restored. Trains are already running between the cities of the Sumy region.
The teams of Ukravtodor and Ukrzaliznytsia work quite efficiently, and I am grateful to them for this speed. For giving people back a sense of normal life, which the occupiers tried to destroy forever.
In the south and east of our country, the situation is still very difficult, far from talking about recovery.
In the occupied districts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, the Russian military continue to terrorize civilian residents of our country. They are looking for anyone who has ever been associated with the Ukrainian army or government agencies.
The occupiers think that this will somehow make it easier for them to control the territory. But they are wrong. They deceive themselves. The problem of the occupiers is not that they are not accepted by some activists, veterans or journalists. Russia's problem is that the entire Ukrainian people does not accept it and will never accept it again. Russia lost Ukraine forever. Actually, it lost the whole world. It will not be accepted anywhere anymore.
And the cruelty with which Russian troops are trying to conquer the Azov, Donbas, Kharkiv regions, only takes away even the slightest chance of these territories and these people to have any ties with this state at least sometime in the future.
Maybe somewhere in Russia cruelty is respected. But in Ukraine cruelty is despised. And punished. And it is obligatory.
Today I signed decrees on awarding our military. 237 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were awarded state awards, 34 of them posthumously.
The title of Hero of Ukraine was awarded to Colonel Kashchenko Dmytro Valeriyovych, commander of the 58th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Operational Command "North" of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For the personal example of heroism that inspires comrades in service, for extremely effective combat operations and concrete and very important results for maintaining the positions of our army and expelling the occupiers.
And finally. The important words that hope always wins even under seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
This Saturday, the Jewish community celebrates Passover. Holiday of liberation. Holiday of life. I sincerely wish all those who celebrate in Ukraine and in the world peace, good and the inevitable defeat of any evil that threatens freedom and life on earth.
Chag Pesach Sameach!
I am grateful to all our male defenders! I am grateful to all our female defenders!
Glory to Ukraine!

That's a true story behind a child's imagination. In her own description:
There are blueberries, raspberries, carrots, a strawberry, celleries, and mushrooms. The mushrooms are white. I hope you can guess what colours are others.
Do children think more abstractly??
After recrewing a quad of fresh Candian Pacific et44acs lead 181 through Nahant yard. Local railfan Jeff Toff gets some video of the train as they pass the south end of the yard.
The Vardzia Monastery lies some 62 km southeast of Akhaltsikhe in the Samtskhe-Javakheti Region, Georgia. The Turkish border is just 10 km to the southwest of the monastery.
In response to the threat posed by the Mongols, the Vardzia Monastery was ordered to be built in 1185 by Queen Tamar the Great (ruled 1184 - 1213). The builders tunneled as far as 50 meters into the mountainside some 100 meters above the true left bank of the Kura River, creating a fortified underground complex.
Stretching 500 meters along the mountainside, thirteen levels were connected with tunnels and stairs. Living quarters for 2,000 monks were built, along with dining rooms, kitchens, 13 chapels and 25 wine cellars, one of which is seen here at bottom left. The Mongols never reached the site, however in 1283 a massive earthquake destroyed more than two-thirds of the complex, exposing its hidden innards. After being partially repaired monastic life resumed. It was sacked by the Persians in 1551, and was abandoned following the arrival of the Ottomans in 1578. Monastic life returned at the end of the Russo-Turkish war of 1828-1829 when Ottoman rule ended and the area became part of the Russian Empire. During the period of Soviet rule (1921 - 1991) monastic life was stopped. The monastery is now active with a small number of monks in residence.
You will observe that nothing about this photograph of Waterholes Hut is straight or level. Alright, the corrugations on the gable end have been made horizontal. But the builders were unfamiliar with the terms parallel and perpendicular. To illustrate the point further, the guttering which collects and directs water to that little tank is held by loops of fencing wire and has its fall adjusted by snapped off sticks from the bush wedged underneath. I believe the architectural style could be termed "in the vernacular". They wouldn't have known what that meant either.
Nearby there are stockyards pre-dating this hut. Those working the livestock in the yards would camp out for the duration. Building of this structure, commencing in 1939, used poles cut from the bush, stone robbed from a former nearby structure for the fireplace and new iron brought over the mountains from Queanbeyan.
Inside, this rough shelter is spartan: no lining, gaps everywhere, bare earthen floor. It's how I imagine the hut up on the Queensland border where my mother's family recovered from the deprivations of the Great Depression. It was warm up there. Not so here. But it must have been luxurious compared to camping out while they went about their work. In behind this hut there is a stand of the most enormous Black Sallees I have ever seen. If the stockyards pre-date the hut by years, those trees pre-date it by centuries!
When the lease on this land was resumed to establish the park in the 1970s, this place was abandoned. Fortunately for us, the Kosciuszko Huts Association and government Parks people set about restoring it thirty years later.
But as much as I admire this place, it's really just a placeholder for bigger things. I'm here to see what I haven't and to ground truth that the track I think goes by and onto another rural structure — Luton's Crutching Shed — is clear and a good guide to lead me there on another day. That's the point — it's for another day.

Many people ask me advice about their portfolio and CV and I always tell them to be creative to stand out of the crowd. This doesn't apply to all kind of jobs, but when you're talking about creative jobs, there are simply no rules on how to present yourself.
Don't mention the name of your kindergarden school, don't mention you've been working at McDonalds during summer break. Believe me, nobody cares. And if your future employer does care, then he'll select you on the wrong criteria. You don't want to work for such a company.
So get creative and make something awesome from your portfolio. Take the above portfolio as an example. Michael doesn't show any of its works and still he succeeds in showing off his talent. Not only he can create great graphics, he also proves to be able to turn 'boring' facts and figures into something exciting. Well done Michael!
