This image was scanned from a glass slide or photograph in the Williamson Collection of some 450 photographic glass slides and other items, which was acquired by the archives section of the Auchmuty Library. The collection was assembled by Archdeacon A. N. Williamson, who served for many years in the diocese of Newcastle, as well as travelling extensively in the South Pacific area. The collection vividly portrays town and country life in Australia, particularly in Sydney and the Hunter Valley, soon after the turn of the century. The collection also illustrates life in Japan, Papua New Guinea, Nauru and Fiji, from the turn of the century until the mid-1930s.

Diamond Light Source
The UK’s national synchrotron science facility.
Diamond Light Source Ltd was established in 2002 as a not-for-profit joint venture funded by the UK Government, through the Science & Technology Facilities Council, in partnership with the Wellcome Trust. The UK Government own 86% and the Wellcome Trust own 14%.
The Synchrotron
It works like a giant microscope, harnessing the power of electrons to produce bright light that scientists can use to study anything from fossils to jet engines, viruses and vaccines.
The machine accelerates electrons to near light speeds so that they give off light 10 billion times brighter than the sun. These bright beams are then directed off into laboratories known as ‘beamlines’. Here, scientists use the light to study a vast range of subject matter, from new medicines and treatments for disease to innovative engineering and cutting-edge technology.
Whether it’s fragments of ancient paintings or unknown virus structures, at the synchrotron, scientists can study their samples using a machine that is 10,000 times more powerful than a traditional microscope.
Diamond is one of the most advanced scientific facilities in the world, and its pioneering capabilities are helping to keep the UK at the forefront of scientific research.
The synchrotron is free at the point of access through a competitive application process, provided that the results are in the public domain.
Over 7000 researchers from both academia and industry use Diamond to conduct experiments. They are assisted by approximately 500 staff.

HET ONDER HANDEN NEMEN VAN JE EIGEN ARTIKEL OP WIKIPEDIA (2)
Over digitalisering - De online informatieformatievoorziening neemt een steeds grotere plaats in in het dagelijkse leven, en daarbij kan praktisch niemand meer om Wikipedia heen. Met de jaren zijn de omstandigheden hieromtrent niet vanzelf beter geworden, en is Wikipedia op een omslagpunt beland. Met de opzet van een serie korte en langere verhalen wordt dit verder uitgediept met theorie en enige cases. Als eenmaal de problemen goed worden doorgrond, is veelal de oplossing nabij. Ter illustratie een tweede deel van een actuele case.
Op Wikipedia wordt een biografische artikel aangepast, waarbij ik meteen het vermoeden heb dat dit om de persoon zelf gaat. Als nieuwe gebruikersnaam wordt Dr. Auratheft gekozen, en die doet in een etmaal drie bewerkingen aan een artikel. [1] Door de aard van de bewerkingen heb ik meteen het vermoeden, dat het de persoon zelf betreft...!?
Dr. Auratheft, een artificiële naam. Google komen echter met verschillende zoekresultaten op de proppen. [2] Op Spotify, Festivalinfo, Muziekweb, Discogs, Mixcloud, Mediametic en wat al niet meer. Wat is hier nu aan de hand? Een muzikant, die gaat sleutelen aan een Wikipedia artikel van een historicus en beleidsmedewerker in de culturele sector.
Dr. Auratheft, het lijkt een pseudoniem. Iets verder zoeken komt de naam zelfs in een online cv voort. Dat is nogal vreemd, want met pseudoniemen zit je veelal niet samen te werken. Op de derde pagina van zoekresultaten komt dan het verlossende woord. Hier heeft de persoon zich eens met het pseudoniem voorgesteld. Op internet is dit blijven hangen.
Na me jaren druk te hebben gemaakt over dit soort situaties, heb ik me daar een half jaar terug van gedistantieerd. Recentelijk ben ik echter zelf tot het inzicht gekomen, dat het er daarmee ook niet beter op wordt. Dit soort zaken blijven maar in de lucht hangen, en verpesten de werksfeer op Wikipedia en de relatie tussen Wikipedia en de buitenwereld.
Een directe oplossing is er niet, want er is een bizar soort patstelling. Als je jezelf bekend maakt kun je niet rekenen op een gelijke behandeling op Wikipedia. Als je dat daar zelfs maar ter sprake brengt, of in ieder geval als ik dat doe, dan is er altijd wel iemand die je een dikke vinger opsteekt. "Recht op Wikipedia? Het enige recht wat jij hebt, is het recht om Wikipedia te verlaten", zeggen ze dan.
Niet alleen de relatie tussen Wikipedia en de buitenwereld wordt hierdoor verziekt., Ook het samenwerken aan de kwaliteitsverbetering van artikelen schiet er daarbij in, zoals in het andere verhaal hierover besproken zal worden. Formeel is Siebe Thissen aka dr. Auratheft [3] ook gezakt, want de gebruikersvoorwaarden op Wikipedia schrijven voor dat je directe belangen (bij de zaken waarover je schrijft) openbaart.
In deze tekst ben ik bewust niet op de oplossing ingegaan. Hierop zou een vervolg kunnen komen. Op de eerste plaats wens ik hiermee eens aan te geven, dat je op Wikipedia zelf snel door de mand valt als je onder een pseudoniem gaat bijdragen, en je daarbij niet aan de (on)geschreven regels houdt. Nu wordt de soep niet zo heet gegeten, als die wordt opgediend, maar daarover wellicht later.

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, first President of the United States and Founding Father. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, Washington is an important world political capital. The city is also one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million tourists annually.
The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress, and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. The City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District.
Washington had an estimated population of 702,455 as of July 2018, making it the 20th most populous city in the United States. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's daytime population to more than one million during the workweek. Washington's metropolitan area, the country's sixth largest, had a 2017 estimated population of 6.2 million residents.
All three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the District: Congress (legislative), president (executive), and the U.S. Supreme Court (judicial). Washington is home to many national monuments, and museums, primarily situated on or around the National Mall. The city hosts 177 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit, lobbying groups, and professional associations, including the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization of American States, AARP, the National Geographic Society, the Human Rights Campaign, the International Finance Corporation, and the American Red Cross.
A locally elected mayor and a 13‑member council have governed the District since 1973. However, Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. D.C. residents elect a non-voting, at-large congressional delegate to the House of Representatives, but the District has no representation in the Senate. The District receives three electoral votes in presidential elections as permitted by the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1961.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States. Established pursuant to Article III of the U.S. Constitution in 1789, it has original jurisdiction over a narrow range of cases, including suits between two or more states and those involving ambassadors. It also has ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal court and state court cases that involve a point of federal constitutional or statutory law. The Court has the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. Executive acts can be struck down by the Court for violating either the Constitution or federal law. However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction. The court may decide cases having political overtones, but it has ruled that it does not have power to decide nonjusticiable political questions.
As set by the Judiciary Act of 1869, the Court consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices. Each justice has lifetime tenure, meaning they remain on the Court until they resign, retire, die, or are removed from office. When a vacancy occurs, the president, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints a new justice. Each justice has a single vote in deciding the cases argued before it; the chief justice's vote carries no more weight than any other. When the chief justice is in the majority, he decides who writes the opinion of the court; otherwise, the senior justice in the majority assigns the task of writing the opinion.
The Court meets in the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C. Its law enforcement arm is the Supreme Court of the United States Police.

Source water streaming through the valley down to the sea. The little town afar must be Bolungarvik... I think. I also shot this post around the same spot.
Of all the panoramas I took during my Iceland trip, I didn't use any specialized pano head although I did bring one (heavy self DIY) along that remained unpacked in my duffle bag. I surprised myself on how I got away without using one for so many shots. A little skewing and stamping here and there is all I needed to deal with the minimal parallax errors. When there are more elements in the foreground as in the case here, the situation is more challenging. I think I managed to get away with this one too.
