The Olympus C-2100 UZ is a digital camera, closely paired with its brother the E-100 RS.
Both of these cameras are noteworthy because they are the only compact digital cameras ever produced by a company other than Canon, using a Canon lens. Both cameras have a 10x zoom, ranging from 38 to 380 mm equivalent. In fact, these were the first compact digital cameras to offer image stabilization by several years. It was also the first camera of its kind to offer f2.8 throughout the focal range.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply the Tower of Pisa (on the right) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of The Pisa Cathedral (on the left), known worldwide for its unintended tilt to one side. The tower's tilt began during construction, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed, and gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Construction of the tower occurred in three stages across 199 years, from 1173 to 1372.
These two buildings, together with two other religious edifices close-by (The Baptistery and The Monumental Cemetery - not included in this photo), are the dominant components of Square of Miracles, formally known as Cathedral Square, which in 1987 was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Trying out the image stabilization on new Nikon Z6ii camera. Note to self: image shot hand-held shot at f11, 43mm focal length and 1/15 second shutter speed. I can't use 1/15 second at 43mm without making a very blurred image, so the stabilization worked quite well, producing intentional blur within a reasonably sharp image overall.
*Breakfast stabilizes the blood sugar levels. You feel giddy if you do not have breakfast .
*You feel energetic throughout the day.
*A good breakfast is worth having
Skipping breakfast slows down metabolism
*You will be more productive throughout the morning
*Concentration is better
*Eating breakfast means eating the right amount later on. You will not go on a food binge due to hunger.
*Lowers cholesterol, as those who have breakfast consume less cholesterol during the day. It is better to have nourishing food then eat junk food to satisfy your hunger during the day
*If you have a proper breakfast then your lunch will not be heavy. Often you compensate one meal for another
*Those who eat whole grain high- fiber breakfast have less risk of heart attacks and Diabetes. A bowl of oats is very good for the heart
*Those on diet will be able to control their calories if they have breakfast. The chances of putting on weight are higher if they skip breakfast.

Butte was one of the largest cities in the Rocky Mountains in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Silver Bow County (Butte and suburbs) had 24,000 people in 1890, and peaked at 60,000 in 1920. The population steadily declined with falling copper prices after World War I, eventually dropping to 34,000 in 1990 and stabilized. In 2013, the population remains at 34,200. In its heyday from the late 19th century to circa 1920, it was one of the largest and most notorious copper boomtowns in the American West, home to hundreds of saloons and a famous red-light district.
Played photographic tag with this Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) this afternoon. Iwould slowly approach it and take a photo or two. It would go off hunting and land at another location. I would take its photo. Did this once more. It didn't seem to mind me at all. It just decided to try new hunting grounds every so often. Here it is leaving the top of a yacht's mast at the local yacht club.

Von 1964 bis 2006 war die Deutsche Bundespost und später T-Systems Betreiberin der Erdfunkstelle im oberbayerischen Raisting, die der Kommunikation mit Nachrichtensatelliten diente. Die hier im Bild gezeigte Antenne mit einem Durchmesser von 25 Metern ist die älteste und stammt aus dem Jahr 1964. Da die Technik zu dieser Zeit noch wetterempfindlich war, wurde die gesamte Anlage durch eine Hülle (Radom) mit einem Durchmesser von rund 50 Metern geschützt. Diese strebenlose und nur durch Überdruck stabilisierte Traglufthalle wurde im Februar 2020 bei einem Sturm zerstört. Für die Reparatur, die für das Frühjahr 2021 geplant ist, werden derzeit 2,5 Millionen Euro veranschlagt. Eine provisorische Hülle soll die Antennentechnik im kommenden Winter schützen.
From 1964 to 2006, the Deutsche Bundespost and later T-Systems operated the earth station in Raisting in Upper Bavaria, which was used for communication with communications satellites. The antenna shown here in the picture with a diameter of 25 meters is the oldest and dates from 1964. Since the technology was still sensitive to the weather at that time, the entire system was protected by a cover (radome) with a diameter of almost 50 meters. This unsustainable and only over-pressure stabilized air-inflated hall was destroyed in a storm in February 2020. The repair, which is scheduled for spring 2021, is currently estimated at 2.5 million euros. A provisional shell is designed to protect antenna technology in the coming winter.
Cake:
2 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
7 tbsp canola or light olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 3)
3 tbsps water
finely grated rind of 2 limes
3 egg yolks
8 egg whites
1 tsp cream of tarttar
Lime curd:
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3-4 limes)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 -2 lemons)
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 stick (113 g) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
Frosting:
2 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp gelatin
1/4 cup water
~ 900 ml blueberries
To prepare cake, line bottoms of the 3 (8-inch) cake pans with parchment paper, coat with cooking spray.
Combine 2 cups cake flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk, until well combined.Combine oil, 1/3 cup juice, 3 tbsp water, rind and egg yolks in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add oil mixture to flour mixture, beat with a mixer at medium speed just until smooth.
Place egg whites in a large bowl, beat with with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourthof egg mixture into flour mixture, gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
Divide cake batter equally among prepared pans. Bake at 325F for 20 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, remove from pans. remove wax paper from cake layers. Cool completely on wire rack.
Lime curd:
Beat egg yolks and sugar until light in colour and sugar almost dissolves. Add lime juice and lemon juice, half of the zest, and salt to the egg yolk mixture. Cook in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon ( be sure to scrape the sides of the pan) until mixture is thick enough to coat back of the spoon ~8-10 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat. Add butter, stirring until smooth and the remaining zest.Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour.
For stabilized whipped cream, combine gelatin and water, allw to soften for 5 minutes, then, dissolve gelatin overlow heat. Gelatin must be liquid , but not warm.
In the chilled bowl beat the cream and sugar just until traces of beater marks begin to show distinctly. Add the gelatin mixture in a teady stream, beating constantly and beat just until stiff peaks form when beater is raised.
To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer on a plate, spread ~ 1/3 of lime curd over cake layer, scatter blueberries. Top with secon layer, 1/3 of lime curd, and blueberries and third layer. Combine the ramining lime curd with whipped cream and spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Garnish with blueberries.

The actual work on the wharves just started with the stabilization of the quay wall. The whole project will be done in phases spread over a period of about 15 years.
We started pretty early in the morning to be at the spot when the first soft rays of light were kissing the stone walls of the magic castle. As the flag was fluttering in the wind, it was a struggle to stabilize the camera. But as everyone knows, when the flag is raised, the knight is at home. Thanks to Nicky and Patrick for joining me on the trip. Greetings to Barbara and Roman, two fellow photographers we met on location.

Sweden donated eighty mothballed Stridsvagn (Strv) 104s to Kurdistan in an effort to stabilize Al Dabir by working through reliable proxies and partners in and around the region. Along with vehicles like the French-made AMX-30B2 and the American-built HMMWV, the Strv 104 is just another addition to Kurdistan's menagerie of foreign Cold War equipment pushed into frontline service.
Despite its dated origins, the Strv 104 has undergone some major revisions since being stored away by the Swedes in the latter 1980s. Primarily, the tank's engine has been replaced by the Avco-Lycoming AGT1500 turbine found on the US' former main battle tank, the M1 Abrams. Given the Abrams has been phased out in favor of the M6 Jackson, the United States--perhaps Kurdistan's most powerful and dedicated patron--has equipment to spare. Switching the 104 to a turbine engine gives the tank incredible speed and power, along with flexibility in what fuels are consumed when on patrol. This flexibility in a major boon in the war-ravaged region of Al Dabir, where fuel infrastructure is often reliant on Western security forces and makeshift refineries. The downside is that the fine-tuned turbines require servicing in advanced facilities. For the Kurds, this means sending their tanks to Jordan to be maintained by specially-trained technicians.
Besides this, most of the retrofitting done to the Strv 104 has focused on optics, communications equipment, and swapping out the ERA for new formulae developed by Western partner states. The external fuel trailers donated with the tanks themselves have also been modified to include slat armor, making them a bit more protected against threats like RPGs. These cumulative modifications have led to the designation of a new standard, i.e. the Strv 104K, with the K unimaginatively standing for "Kurdish". Keeping with the lack of imagination, Kurdish crews often refer to the tanks as "Vikings" in honor of the Nordic people who donated them.
While not competitor to high-end MBTs like the Jackson mentioned above, the Viking is more than capable of executing basic fire support missions and providing territorial protection.
Shout-out to Evan for letting me modernize his Centurion many months ago. Always fun to reskin some of his existing designs.
After a heavy thunderstorm in the early morning Fynn came to the conclusion that birdfeeder was unstable and might well be knocked over by the next gust of wind. :)
No birds were scared by Fynn's activities. The feeder is empty at the moment as I only feed the birds during winter and the birds know that.

'Breakthrough' stem-cell patches stabilized a woman's heart as she awaited transplant
Article from Live Science daily newsletter.
By Jess Thomson
published 18 hours ago
A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed stem-cell-derived heart tissue grafts.
A woman with a failing heart has been kept alive with the help of a new "breakthrough" stem-cell technology, scientists report.
The 46-year-old woman experienced a heart attack in 2016 and subsequently developed severe heart failure, in which the heart cannot pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's needs. The patient was awaiting a heart transplant when she underwent the experimental stem-cell procedure as part of a clinical trial.
During the surgery, the woman's heart was implanted with tiny patches of heart muscle cells, which had been grown from stem cells in a lab. These 10 patches, each comprised of about 400 million heart cells, kept the woman stable until she could receive a heart transplant three months later, according to a paper published Wednesday (Jan. 29) in the journal Nature.
"We now have, for the first time, a laboratory-grown biological transplant available which has the potential to stabilize and strengthen the heart muscle," study co-author Dr. Ingo Kutschka, a heart surgeon at University Medical Center Göttingen in Germany, said in a press conference, Nature News reported.

Unlike many other cell types, such as skin cells, heart muscle cells cannot easily regrow or repair themselves if they are damaged by an insult like a heart attack. Such damage to the heart can lead to heart failure, which affects around 6.7 million adults ages 20 and older in the United States, according to the A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Heart failure was listed as a contributing or primary cause of death on more than 450,000 death certificates in the U.S. in 2022, the CDC reported.
Over half of people with severe heart failure die within a year unless they receive a heart transplant, but there are limited donor hearts available, Nature News reported.
To supplement these limited heart transplants, scientists have experimented with transplanting heart muscle cells instead. In the new Nature paper, the researchers describe a method of growing heart tissue from stem cells known as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Scientists create these stem cells by gathering normal adult cells and then reprogramming them back into a "pluripotent" state, from which they can develop into almost any cell type in the body.
The scientists encouraged these iPSCs to develop into heart muscle cells and connective tissue in the lab; the researchers then mixed the resulting tissue with collagen to create tiny patches that could be implanted onto the surface of the heart.
"The graft is basically outside of the heart," Dr. Jianyi Zhang, an iPSC bioengineering expert at the University of Alabama at Birmingham who was not involved in this study, told Nature. "It's quite a breakthrough."
The scientists first tested similar patches on rhesus macaque monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with heart failure; the patches tested on monkeys were grown with monkey stem cells. Six months later, several of the monkeys grew thicker heart walls that could pump up to 10% more blood per heartbeat than a group of untreated monkeys.
During the patch procedure, the monkeys were all given immunosuppressant drugs, to prevent their immune systems from rejecting the grafts. Additionally, none of the monkeys developed tumors or irregular heartbeats, which had been a problem in similar studies conducted in the past.
The success of the monkey trial enabled the trial in human volunteers, one of whom was the 46-year-old woman. After the woman underwent her heart transplant, the researchers examined her old heart and saw that the implanted patches had grown minuscule blood vessels, indicating that they were receiving blood and oxygen from the body.

"This is clear now, that you can add muscle to the failing heart, and that we can do that without safety concerns," study co-author Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann, a pharmacologist at University Medical Center Göttingen, said in the press conference.
The eventual hope is that this approach will help people stay alive for long enough to receive a donor heart; it's not intended as a complete alternative to transplants.
In an ongoing trial, the scientists have so far implanted the patches in 15 other people. They are also experimenting with more macaques to find a way to minimize the use of immunosuppressant drugs, which help prevent rejection but can leave a patient vulnerable to infection and other health problems.

I like flowers. It is difficult to find good flowers in summer, but we can still find fresh flowers in stores. There are many different small, interesting objects in nature for macro photography. I took this picture with Sigma105mm macro lens, it has image stabilization, very sharp and compact lens. I don’t use flash for macro photography because I don’t like highlight on the objects. I took one shot and didn’t use photo stacking in photoshop. Rose are big flowers and are easy to photograph. Smaller flowers are difficult to photograph. Have a wonderful day!
Some birding examples with the classic manual focus Tokina AT-X 100-300mm f4 MF Lens & Metabones NF-X-mount Adapter.
The lens has its limitations on the X-T2. No stabilization, lots of noise, banding, and color fringing depending on light available. Which requires a lot of post processing.
It's my oldest lens from the time when I was shooting slide film with a Konica T3 and Nikon FM2. It's mostly nostalgia that I still keep it, but most times the results are disappointing.
The Mobile Medical Unit is like a space ambulance/ER. Comes complete with two operating/recovery tables and all the supplies needed to stabilize patients before their extraction. Huge sensor array guides the MMU with uplink to the carrier vessel for increased guidance.
Shot from a long distance my non-stabilized 400mm and 1.4x teleconverter, some not quite in focus and quite a bit of noise but loved the moment. It arrived then hovered and flew back up in the air several times before landing on a nearby branch since the female on the nest would let him land in the nest.
Photos from the Great Blue Heron rookery this year. This and the following 9 photos show one arriving then sparing with another already on a nest. Not sure if a mating dance or ritual, just guessing since the last two photos show them next to each other in the nest with no more drama. Really fun to watch, sorry for so many photos of the same thing. :) Very harsh lighting and shadows plus tons of dangling seed pods this year, so focus and quality not the best. Will post more later.
Feeling better, really wants to go out.
Exposure is 1/6 sec. That Canon IS rocks! But it is evidently not TS (Tail Stabilization)
