Bibury is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It is situated on the River Coln.In the Domesday Book (1086), a record of survey done under William the Conqueror, the place is named Becheberie, and it is recorded that the lands and church in Bibury were held by St. Mary's Priory at Worcester, from whom it passed in 1130 to the Abbey of Osney, near Oxford.
The village is known for its honey-coloured seventeenth century stone cottages with steeply pitched roofs, which once housed weavers who supplied cloth for fulling at nearby Arlington Mill. Until the 1980s, that building also housed the museum of Arlington Mill with a collection of period clothing, before it was shifted to Barnsley House. The Mill is now a private residence.The nineteenth-century artist and craftsman William Morris called Bibury "the most beautiful village in England" when he visited it.
The picturesque Arlington Row cottages were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store. This was converted into a row of cottages for weavers in the seventeenth century.The cloth produced there was sent to Arlington Mill. Arlington Row is a popular visitor attraction, probably one of the most photographed Cotswold scenes, and was preserved by the Royal College of Arts. It has been used as a film and television location — most notably for Stardust and Bridget Jones Diary.
I needed to make a blocking device so that the X-V Selector Lever could not be moved. I wanted something in a T shape, but lacking anything around here that would fit in the space, I went with the next best thing.
The shape of this plastic can lid, with it's ridges to make it snap tight, was almost the perfect thing. And its circular shape meant it would somewhat match the contour of the shutter/lens assembly mount.

Fermilab Antiproton Source
The antiproton is the antiparticle of the proton. Antiprotons are stable, but they are typically short-lived since any collision with a proton will cause both particles to be annihilated in a burst of energy.
The existence of the antiproton with −1 electric charge, opposite to the +1 electric charge of the proton, was predicted by Paul Dirac in his 1933 Nobel Prize lecture. Dirac received the Nobel Prize for his previous 1928 publication of his Dirac Equation that predicted the existence of positive and negative solutions to the Energy Equation (E = mc^2) of Einstein and the existence of the positron, the antimatter analog to the electron, with positive charge and opposite spin.
The antiproton was experimentally confirmed in 1955 by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics. An antiproton consists of two up antiquark and one down antiquark (uud). The properties of the antiproton that have been measured all match the corresponding properties of the proton, with the exception that the antiproton has opposite electric charge and magnetic moment than the proton. The question of how matter is different from antimatter remains an open problem, in order to explain how our universe survived the Big Bang and why so little antimatter exists today.

Dr. Volkmar Hable was trained as a physicist and geoscientist and holds a Ph.D. in Geosciences and a B.S. in Agriculture and Agronomics. After graduation, however, he took a slightly different career path and entered the financial world. He is currently the CEO of #Samarium Group Holding Ltd. Samarium Group is an investment and development company that specializes in healthcare, energy, technology, logistic, science, engineering, resources, and medical industries, focusing on companies that are worth less than $5 billion. #VolkmarHable creates partnerships with investors and client companies and looks for organizations with high-growth opportunities in which to invest. He also manages portfolios for his clients, submits studies on the space, engineering, science, logistics and energy sectors, and interviews with management teams for the company. With offices in Medellin, Vienna, Vancouver, Singapore, Sydney, and Zürich the company’s typical ROI (return on investment) is 17 percent a year and it consistently delivers to its clients by offering preferred shares to selected investors. #VolkmarHable stands by the company’s philosophy, which states: To think against the grain and to swim against the current - that is the secret behind that which the alpha wolves and their packs dream of in vain: to win when everybody wins, and to win when the others lose too. The sources of success are upstream.
From 1997-2001, #VolkmarHable was the CEO for Adecco’s offices in Europe and Asia which employed 6,000 people. At Adecco, a Fortune 500 human resources company providing personnel services to businesses worldwide, #VolkmarHable gained valuable experience by heading the European operations and was instrumental in expanding the operations to the Romanian market. Prior to Adecco, Volkmar Hable worked in senior executive positions in the oil exploration industry and served with companies involved in tourism, geophysics, global engineering consulting and spent time with the diplomatic corps.
Volkmar Hable is a prolific author and has published two books on marketing and investment planning; he has also contributed to books on geophysics and calculus. He speaks English, Spanish, German, and French fluently, and he contributes to various research firms. In what little free time he has Volkmar Hable enjoys mountaineering and reading.

Helsinki (Swedish: Helsingfors) is the capital and most populous city of Finland. Located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, it is the seat of the region of Uusimaa in southern Finland, and has a population of 650,058. The city's urban area has a population of 1,268,296 making it by far the most populous urban area in Finland as well as the country's most important center for politics, education, finance, culture, and research. Helsinki is located 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Tallinn, Estonia, 400 km (250 mi) east of Stockholm, Sweden, and 300 km (190 mi) west of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It has close historical ties with these three cities.
Together with the cities of Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen, and surrounding commuter towns, Helsinki forms the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, which has a population of nearly 1.5 million. Often considered to be Finland's only metropolis, it is the world's northernmost metro area with over one million people as well as the northernmost capital of an EU member state. After Stockholm and Oslo, Helsinki is the third largest municipality in the Nordic countries. Swedish and Finnish are both official languages. The city is served by the international Helsinki Airport, located in the neighboring city of Vantaa, with frequent service to many destinations in Europe and Asia.
Helsinki was the World Design Capital for 2012, the venue for the 1952 Summer Olympics, and the host of the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest in 2007.
Helsinki has one of the highest urban standards of living in the world. In 2011, the British magazine Monocle ranked Helsinki the world's most liveable city in its liveable cities index. In the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2016 liveability survey, Helsinki was ranked ninth among 140 cities.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomenlinna
Suomenlinna (Finnish; until 1918 Viapori), or Sveaborg (Swedish), is an inhabited sea fortress built on eight islands about 4 km southeast of the city center of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site that is popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg (Castle of the Swedes), or Viapori as referred to by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed in Finnish to Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is still known by its original name in Sweden and by Swedish-speaking Finns.
The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of the star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands.
During the Finnish War, Sweden surrendered the fortress to Russia on 3 May 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809, and the eventual cession of Finland to Russia at the conclusion of the war. Russia held the fortress until Finnish independence in 1918. Finland then managed Suomenlinna through the Defense Department until turning most of it over to civilian control in 1973.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomenlinna_Church
The Suomenlinna Church (Finnish: Suomenlinnan kirkko, Swedish: Sveaborgs kyrka) in Helsinki, Finland, was built in 1854 as an Eastern Orthodox garrison church for the Russian troops stationed at the Suomenlinna sea fortress. The fortress comprises five islands joined together by bridges, and the church is the central feature on the island of Iso Mustasaari (Swedish: Stora Östersvartö), located at its highest point. It is surrounded by other fortress buildings, but the old parade ground is immediately to the east, and a park lies immediately to the south. It is oriented southwest to northeast so that it would align with the Crownwork Ehrensvärd defense front located to the southwest of the church.
Before the design and construction of the Orthodox church, plans were drawn up in the 1820s by architect Carl Ludvig Engel for a church on the same site, but designed in the neoclassical style in keeping with the rest of buildings at the fortress and the buildings in the capital city, Helsinki. The actual church was designed by Konstantin Thon, an official architect of Imperial Russia during the reign of Czar Nicholas I, whose major works included the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Grand Kremlin Palace, and the Kremlin Armoury in Moscow. The church was named for Saint/Prince Alexander Nevsky, who defeated the Swedes at the Neva battle of 1240. The Alexander Nevsky Church originally had five onion domes. The perimeter fence, constructed from cannons and chains, was erected in the 1870s. The church bell, the largest in Finland, was cast in Moscow in 1885 and weighs 6,683 kilograms. It is now displayed adjacent to the church. The church was elevated to the status of cathedral within the Orthodox faith in 1891.
In 1918 the Orthodox church was converted into an Evangelical Lutheran church, as Finland sought to indicate its new-found independence from Russia. The onion domes of the four smaller towers were immediately removed. The church's extensive iconography was warehoused by the city of Helsinki, but their current whereabouts are unknown. During the 1920s, it was decided to give the church an extensive renovation for structural repair as well as incorporation of a more Western design. The design competition was won by architect Einar Sjöström, and the finished church was reconsecrated on 28 April 1929.
Another interesting feature from the renovation is that the church's central dome has doubled as a lighthouse since 1929, making it one of only a few churches in the world that has that dual purpose. The lighthouse is officially the Harmaja Range Rear light, and it pairs with the Harmaja lighthouse (4.8 km south in the Gulf of Finland) as the Range Front light. The signal blink is the Morse code for the letter "H" for Helsinki.
Additional renovations have been made in the 1960s (after the church was turned over to the Evangelical Lutheran Parish Union of Helsinki), and again in the late 1980s and 1990s in preparation for the 250th anniversary of Suomenlinna in 1998. The Suomenlinna Church is still a very popular wedding site and one of the first landmarks for people arriving in Helsinki by sea.

Considered the leader of the Realism movement, Gustave Courbet was known for his careful observations of nature. This painting recalls the unique landscape of the Doubs region of France, where Courbet was from. However, this work was painted when the artist was living in Switzerland as a political exile.

About Irvin ↓
Few artists have had as enduring an influence on one magazine as cartoonist Rea Irvin has had on The New Yorker. As the magazine's first art editor, Irvin created a style that continues to define the publication to this day, witty, urbane, and socially and culturally aware. He is known for his distinctive thin and trembly line, poached eyes, and almost oriental splendor of his drawings.
Born in San Francisco on August 28, 1881, Irvin started his career in illustration as an unpaid cartoonist for The San Francisco Examiner. His only former training consisted of six months' study at the Hopkins Art Institute. At the age of 25, he moved to the East Coast and was soon a regular contributor to Life and Cosmopolitan magazines.
In 1924, Irvin joined an advisory board to help launch The New Yorker. For the cover of the magazine's debut issue the next year, Irvin created Eustice Tilley, a smartly attired dandy with a monocle and top hat. This amusing and worldly, yet somewhat detached, character embodied the spirit of the new publication. Tilley quickly became Irvin's signature piece and has reappeared on the magazine's cover every year since, with one exception — 1994.
Irvin, as a veteran editor of Life magazine, served for twenty-one years as the art director of The New Yorker. It was said that the first issues of the brash, new magazine were so top heavy with art that one observer dubbed it, 'The best magazine in the world for people who can't read.'
Between 1925 and 1958, Irvin's work appeared on 169 covers of The New Yorker. Hundreds of other illustrations by Irvin were also published inside the magazine. In addition to his illustrations, Irvin contributed significantly to The New Yorker's layout and design. He created the magazine's sharp and casually elegant type style, which is still known as "Irvin type," and he added the squiggly column rules that provide a distinct delineation between text and illustrations.
In 1967, Irvin gave his personal collection of 412 works on paper to the Museum of the City of New York. In March 2000, an exhibition of his work, "The Talk of the Town; Rea Irvin of The New Yorker", was shown at the Brandywine River Museum. It presented 83 original illustrations from the Museum of the City of New York's extensive collection of Irvin's original covers, drawings and cartoons. The exhibition featured many of these works, including caricatures of contemporary figures such as Diego Rivera and Pablo Picasso, and parodies of social issues. One example, The Unity of the Allied Nations which appeared on The New Yorker's July 1, 1944 cover, depicts the American Eagle, the Chinese Dragon, the Russian Bear and the British Lion clearly united in the pursuit of victory during World War II. The exhibit introduced visitors to the broad range of Irvin's talent and explored his enduring influence on The New Yorker magazine and American illustration.
Rea Irvin died on May 28, 1972, in Fredericksted, Virgin Islands, at the age of 90.
