Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction and a monument to Belfast's maritime heritage on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard in the city's Titanic Quarter.
Belfast has been slow to tell Titanic’s story from its point of view. It has taken nearly one hundred years for the fate of the “practically unsinkable” ship to be reconciled in the minds of the city which built her. She was sent out with such pride and yet less than two weeks after leaving her home, she was at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America on this Fourth of July, here is Charlestown Dry Dock 1, completed in 1833.
This granite dry dock was first used by the USS Constitution in 1833.
The warship in the background is Fletcher Class Destroyer USS Cassin Young 793.
Owing to their fisherman’s reporting system and growing relationship with the fishing industry, the skipper of Emily K, Falmouth, had reported a string of pots which had been lost in the winter storms.
A team of seven volunteer divers from the charity, specially trained to survey and recover lost fishing gear, set off from Mylor on board Moonshadow.
3 teams of divers searched north and south of the given marks and encountered one end of a string of pots, covering some distance to confirm the string was lost.
One of the teams found pots leading off the reef down to 33m depth, ending with the main line tangled around a boulder and a frayed snapped rope. They surveyed 12 pots in detail, finding a lot of crab and lobster still alive in the pots.
Another team found the other end of the string which stretched almost half a mile across the reef with over 30 pots. They marked this with a surface marker buoy for the return the next day.
Deemed too many to recover onto the dive boat in one go, the skipper was in contact with the local fishermen discussing whose gear it could be, to arrange assistance to recover it. The owner was contacted to discuss recovery options and he confirmed that the string should have 36 pots, lost 12-18 months ago.
The divers recovered 12 pots freeing 35 Edible Crab, 7 Spider Crab, 3 Lobsters, 10 Starfish, A flatfish and a Scallop (all alive except for 3 edible crabs) The remaining pots were marked with a buoy for the fishing vessel to recover onto their larger boat the following Monday. The divers had cleared all pots of obstructions over the 2 dives, so hauling onto the vessel was straightforward.
Jamie of Emily K told us “We were delighted to have a string of pots we’d lost in the storms, recovered. The work you’re doing is fantastic for the inshore grounds and fleet. Please keep up the good work. “
Ghost Fishing UK raise funds for their activities themselves, usually through public donations and fundraising campaigns.
Pudding wanted to carry the special little bag of seed they gave us at Wild Birds Unlimited to feed the birds on Christmas Day.
This is what it says on the bag:
"To our friends...The people of Scandinavia traditionally feed the birds on Christmas Day to ensure good luck throughout the coming year. Spread this seed on your doorstep Christmas Morning for New Year's good luck!"
We feed our backyard birds year round, but we will put this seed out on Christmas anyway since it seems like a fun tradition!

Stand up to racism
A racist offensive against refugees, migrants and Muslims is being pushed by some politicians and press. It is crucial we
respond to this by standing in solidarity against attempts to divide our communities. The appalling treatment of refugees across Europe and the staggering rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes must be challenged.
Let’s send a message that drives back the tide of racism, fascism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and the scapegoating of migrants and refugees – we say refugees welcome here and yes to diversity!
Join the Europe-wide UN Anti-Racism Day Demonstration when tens of thousands march across Britain, with major mobilisations in London, Scotland and Wales joining thousands in cities across Europe and around the world to say no to racism.
Stand Up To Racism has led some of the biggest anti-racist
mobilisations in Britain of the last decade, including the UN Anti-racism day demonstrations of 2014 and 2015 and the 100,000 strong Refugees Welcome demonstration on 12th September 2015."

Dewsbury
Dewsbury is a minster and market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the River Calder and on an arm of the Calder and Hebble Navigation waterway.
It is to the west of Wakefield, east of Huddersfield and south of Leeds.
On the 19th. February 2008, Shannon Matthews, a nine-year-old girl from the Moorside Estate, was reported missing. After a 24-day hunt which attracted huge media and public attention nationally, she was found hidden in a flat in the Batley Carr area on the 14th. March 2008.
Her mother Karen Matthews, along with Michael Donovan, the uncle of her stepfather Craig Meehan, were later found guilty of abduction and false imprisonment, as part of a plot to claim the reward money for her safe return by pretending to have solved her disappearance. Both were jailed for eight years.
Martins Bank
Note the sign for Martins Bank. The bank was bought by Barclays Bank in 1969, when all of its 700 branches became branches of Barclays.
Around 30 branches closed immediately, and ten were downgraded to sub-branches. The Martins grasshopper logo was retained for part of the combined business until the early 1980's, with "Martins Branch" and a small grasshopper appearing first on both statements and cheque books, later cheques only.
Martins numbered among its customers a football pools company, a major airline and a world-renowned shipping line. When these customers wanted to borrow large sums, Martins was known to have borrowed from other banks on a number of occasions to fulfil these requests.
Many who worked for the bank believed that Martins could have survived on its own, as at the time of takeover it was expanding its UK banking operation, and continuing a run of "firsts" which included:
-- First in the north of England with a cash
machine, in 1967 at 84 Church Street, Liverpool.
-- First with mobile branches to provide banking
to remote areas.
-- First with a drive-through bank, in Leicester
in 1959 and Epsom in 1966.
-- First and only national English bank to have
a head office outside London.
-- First to recognise and embrace the swinging
60's in its advertising.
-- First to experiment with and then use a
computer to operate current-account business.
-- First with a branch at the centre court at
Wimbledon.
Many of Martins' forms, and some procedures, were retained or later adopted by Barclays as being more advanced than their own.
Women employees were contractually obliged to leave Martins Bank upon marriage, and as late as 1965, men were not allowed to get married until their salary reached a prescribed level.

"we are not rioters"
Close to two million people hit the streets on Sunday (16th June 2019) to call on the Hong Kong government to withdraw a controversial extradition bill, according to organisers.
The Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) figure represents 28.5 per cent of the city’s population, and would make the demonstration the largest in Hong Kong history.
It is almost double the turnout figure they gave for last Sunday’s anti-extradition law protest.
Police claimed 338,000 joined the designated walking route at the peak of the demonstration.
The CHRF – a coalition of pro-democracy groups – said the turnout was almost two million “plus one,” to represent a man who fell to his death on Saturday while protesting the bill. Protesters on Sunday wore all black and carried white funeral flowers to honour the 35-year-old man surnamed Leung.
Hong Kong proposed legal amendments in February to allow the city to handle case-by-case extradition requests from jurisdictions with no prior agreements, most notably China and Taiwan.
The bill would enable the chief executive and local courts to handle extradition requests without legislative oversight, although lawyers, journalists, foreign politicians and businesses have raised concerns over the risk of residents being extradited to the mainland, which lacks human rights protections.
On Saturday, following months of criticism, the government said it would postpone the bill and explain it further to the public.

【明報專訊】《逃犯條例》修訂風波不斷升溫，即使行政長官林鄭月娥前日宣布暫緩修例仍未能平息民憤，民陣昨日再度發起遊行，重申要求撤回修例及林太下台，遊行人潮由上周日的白衣換成黑衣，由「痛心疾首」與「撤回惡法」兩幅黑白直幡帶領，再由白晝走到黑夜。警方罕有先後全數開放軒尼詩道、駱克道、莊士敦道、謝斐道和告士打道西行線，予整天不絕的人潮。遊行歷時逾8小時才結束，民陣稱近200萬人參與，屬歷來最高遊行人數，警方則估計經原定遊行路線最高峰人數約33.8萬。
政府昨晚於遊行未結束已發聲明回應，林鄭月娥承認因為政府工作的不足，令社會出現很大矛盾和紛爭，令市民失望和痛心，就事件向市民致歉。政府強調已停止立法會大會對修訂《逃犯條例》的工作，冀社會盡快回復平靜和避免任何人受傷；但至今日凌晨截稿，大批遊行者仍未散去，在夏愨道和特首辦外聚集。

Sometimes fishermen got a bit confused about where to cast. The sea is quite a vast space and sometimes you can't figure out where the reef sits or where the bait is concentrated. A good skipper or mate can sure help you because their eyes are always better trained than yours. This is exactly what is happening, there's a submerged reef right where the mate is pointing at and he's suggesting the two guys to cast over there. The flash helped me bringing up a bit the guy in the foregorund
Nice to see a "Dolly" - Triumph Dolomite - still in daily use! This one is regularly seen in this area - Florence Terrece - in Gainsborough. This is the same place where I recently saw a Renault 4 a few weeks back - I can only assume that there is an "enthusiast" living hereabouts.

I just had to stick my head in the door of the Swallows Inn while walking around San Juan Capistrano, California. It's a pretty cool place and posed as the bar in Clint Eastwood's movie 'Heartbreak Ridge'. Camp Pendleton is not too far away from this location and Marines there frequented this place. That's supposedly how it was discovered and chosen as a filming location for the movie.
The redness in the sky to the west was now alarming, although I knew the reason, it felt like something supernatural.
Palgrave was just a few miles from Hepworth, and one I hoped to find open, and at just after four in the afternoon, but nearly dar, it was.
It was really very gloomy inside the church, even with the lights on, shots were difficult to take. I was on a mission to snap all I could as soon as possible before the light failed altogether.
Church features a splendid Norman font, modern glass, and the remains of a spiral staircase leading to a room over the south porch, the floor of which has long since vanished. The stairs now a broom cupboard.
Wonderful painted roof, I thought maybe done in the last century, but might be much, much older than that.
-----------------------------------------
2015: I've visited Palgrave church several times since this account first appeared, most recently to take the photographs here. However, I hope I will be forgiven for retaining the original text from 2003, if only for its freshness, and perhaps also for what may be viewed at this distance as its charm.
2003: I arrived at Diss railway station in that gentle sunshine for which we’ll remember the Spring of 2003. Diss is in Norfolk; I had just crossed the border on my train journey from Ipswich, but I was bound for Diss's southern suburb, the Suffolk village of Palgrave. I cycled off from the station. I headed under the railway line, and over the infant Waveney. At this point, I entered Suffolk again, but there were no county signs in either direction. To be honest, it didn’t feel that different, apart from the way that the road surface improved, the schools came off special measures, the police force became efficient, and so on.
The countryside opened out into golden oilseed rape fields under a wide sky. It was good to be home. Soon, I was coming into Palgrave village, which seemed very pleasant indeed.
In medieval times, Palgrave was actually two parishes; the westerly one, Palgrave St John, has been subsumed into this one, and that church has completely disappeared. However, this pretty church is walled neatly into its graveyard at the heart of the village, which spreads neatly around it. As this was my first church of the day, I hoped it would be open; it always puts a crimp in a trip if the first one is a lock-out. I was not disappointed; St Peter is a friendly parish that knows that part of its Christian mission is to welcome strangers and pilgrims.
I stepped through the elaborate arch of the late 15th Century south doorway. An angel and a dragon contended in the spandrels, and there were characterful heads carved in the entrance arch. Inside, a very nice lady was busy with the flowers, and took time out to show me around. All the while, I was conscious that above my head the lovely painted roof of Palgrave. Marian monograms and symbols punctuate the whitewash; once, many small Suffolk churches must have been like this. Perhaps someone can explain to me why this one hasn’t faded like many of the others; I don’t think it has been redone.
The other famous treasure here is the font. It is unlike anything else in Suffolk. Clearly Norman, but much more elaborate than most, its most outstanding features are the faces in each corner. Again, this is a more intimate experience of the faces we normally see as corbels; but Palgrave has these too, stunning medieval characters along the lines of the arcades.
While we are on the subject of treasure, there were two modern features that were obviously loved by the locals. Firstly, Surinder Warboys has her studio nearby at Mellis, and here is one of her windows in the south aisle. The light flooded through it. The lady told me that everybody liked it, but that it was very hard to do a flower arrangement in front of it! I thought that they had done very well. Secondly, up in the chancel is the benefice millennium banner – people from all the parishes came together and produced this amazing patchwork cross. On the back, there are panels depicting the mission of the Church. Apparently, it is shared around the benefice churches for display for a few weeks at a time.
In the place where many churches now display the coat of arms, Palgrave has part of a suit of armour. I have seen an explanation in several books that it was from the parish armoury, which was once stored in the upper room of the porch, as at Mendlesham. This upper room has now gone, and the armoury has, as in most churches, been dispersed. However, I could find no evidence for this story, and it seems to be based on one of Arthur Mee’s fancies. I don't think it is even real armour; rather, it is similar to the mock plate armour behind the Bacon memorial at nearby Redgrave. It seems likely to me that this is also part of an old set of armour associated with a memorial of some kind, which the Victorians swept away. I don’t suppose we’ll ever know.
Back outside again, I took time out to photograph the famous grave of carter John Catchpole, with its relief of a wagon and horses – you can see it in the left-hand column. It seems a modern fashion to decorate headstones with symbols associated with the deceased; nice to know it was happening in the mid-18th century.
I turned, and looked back at the neat tower, the splendid porch with its dramatic niches. You can see that there was once an upper room, but it has now gone.
And it was time for me to be gone, too. Waving cheerily, I headed off in the direction of Thrandeston, all the road back to Ipswich open in front of me in the sunshine.

The Bournemouth Air Festival took place from the 30th August to 2nd September 2018. Voted best Tourism Event by Visit England and celebrating it’s 10th year, the Bournemouth Air Festival is the UK’s biggest, best and free aviation festival! RAF Red Arrows displayed on ~ Thursday 30th August ~ Saturday 1st September.
Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.
Imax ~ built in 1998, Bournemouth Borough Council bought the waterfront building from long leaseholders Nilgosc for about £7 million in 2010. It will cost another £2 million to have it demolished. The authority had hoped to keep the structure, but to lower it by 25ft ( 8 mtr ) and turn it into an all-weather leisure centre or cultural attraction. John Beesley, leader of Bournemouth council, said demolition work would not begin until after the holiday season and it was hoped the work would be finished by summer 2013. The building opened as an Imax cinema in 2002 despite protests from residents against the plans.The building was demolished in 2013.
Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.
Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.
Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.
Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.
The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.
With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into a small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.
Dedicated to the 3000 homeless, the 120+ (so far dead 9th Feb, 2009), the killed lifestock, and the brunt land of the northern State of Victoria. My prayers go out , my money as well. This Sunday we had the worst natural disaster in Australia's history. A rainbow of hope for the survivors.
Madhyamaheshwar (Sanskrit: मध्यमहेश्वर) or Madmaheshwar is a Hindu temple dedicated to god Shiva, located in the Mansoona village of Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand, India. Situated at an elevation of 3,497 m (11,473.1 ft), it is the fourth temple to be visited in the Panch Kedar pilgrimage circuit, comprising five Shiva temples in the Garhwal region. The other temples in the circuit include: Kedarnath, Tungnath and Rudranath to be visited before Madmaheshwar and Kalpeshwar to be visited after Madmaheshwar. The middle (madhya) or belly part or navel (nabhi) of the bull, considered a divine form of Shiva, is worshipped at this temple, believed to be built by the Pandavas, the heroes of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.[1]
The butterfly bushes at the back of my garden really deserve their common name. In the early afternoon - on a sunny day - they are host to many butterflies and bees. Here I found a monarch and a swallowtail lunching side by side.

To był niesamowity dzień. Dopisała aura, która wszystkich wprawiła w jeszcze bardziej pogodny nastrój. Jak co roku Fundacja Wrocławskie Hospicjum dla Dzieci zorganizowała naszym podopiecznym i ich rodzeństwu obchody Dnia Dziecka, które odbyły się 17 czerwca. Dziękujemy za przyjęcie zaproszenia i tak liczne przybycie.
Miejscem zabawy była gościnna Stara Garbarnia w Leśnicy a tematem przewodnim MADAGASKAR. Był oczywiście zacnie nam panujący Król Julian i mnóstwo zwierzaków. Nasi niezawodni, pomysłowi wolontariusze przeistoczyli się w lemury, zebry, lwy, żyrafy, pingwiny, tygrysy, hieny i inne madagaskarskie futrzaki... Mnóstwo radości, balonów, dobrego jedzenia i nieposkromionej zabawy towarzyszyło nam do ostatniej minuty świętowania.
Nasz wyjątkowy dzień rozpoczął się od odtańczenia tańca, który jest celebrowany zawsze na wyspie Madagaskar. Wszyscy, bez wyjątku, "wyginali śmiało ciało". Wrażenia artystyczne i muzyczne, wspaniale kreacje sceniczne w rytm kastanietów zapewniła nam szkoła tańca flamenco Dragonitas del Fuego. Furorę zrobił iluzjonista Damian Kość, który oprócz występu na scenie, zabawiał dzieci w małych grupkach zdradzając tajniki sztuk magicznych. Różnego rodzaju atrakcje przygotowały wolontariaty pracownicze firm współpracujących z Fundacją oraz uczniowie Akademii Wojsk Lądowych. Niesamowity tort a’la wyspa Madagaskar upieczony przez Mamą naszego podopiecznego zrobił furorę i był obiektem wielu zdjęć.
Nieocenieni wolontariusze przez całą imprezę troszczyli się o dzieci i angażowali w różnego rodzaju zabawy, puszczanie mydlanych baniek, dekorowanie babeczek, malowanie twarzy, dmuchanie balonów czy rysowanie zwierzaków…Cel został osiągnięty! Na twarzach dzieci widzieliśmy uśmiech i szczęście. Dzień Dziecka zwieńczony był tym, na co dzieci czekały najbardziej, czyli wręczaniem prezenty. Było ich mnóstwo a każdy z dzieciaków został nimi wręcz zarzucony. Nasze świętowanie i uczczenie Dnia Dziecka nie mogło by się odbyć bez rzeszy ludzi dobrych serc, które zadbały o to, żeby dla żadnego dziecka nie zabrakło niespodzianek.
Gorąco dziękujemy:
Pracownikom firm: Becton Dickinson, BNY Mellon, Capgemini, CH Robinson, Geoban, Gigaset Communication Service, Hoist Polska Sp. z o.o., HPE, Infor, Kaufland, KPMG, Tieto oraz UPS za przekazane prezenty i wsparcie w dniu imprezy.

Stanley Park is a 405-hectare (1,001-acre) public park that borders the downtown of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada and is almost entirely surrounded by waters of Vancouver Harbour and English Bay.
The park has a long history and was one of the first areas to be explored in the city. The land was originally used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years before British Columbia was colonized by the British during the 1858 Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. For many years after colonization, the future park with its abundant resources would also be home to nonaboriginal settlers. The land was later turned into Vancouver's first park when the city incorporated in 1886. It was named after Lord Stanley, a British politician who had recently been appointed governor general.
Unlike other large urban parks, Stanley Park is not the creation of a landscape architect, but rather the evolution of a forest and urban space over many years. Most of the manmade structures we see today were built between 1911 and 1937 under the influence of then superintendent W.S. Rawlings. Additional attractions, such as a polar bear exhibit, aquarium, and miniature train, were added in the post-war period.
Much of the park remains as densely forested as it was in the late 1800s, with about a half million trees, some of which stand as tall as 76 metres (249 ft) and are up to hundreds of years old. Thousands of trees were lost (and many replanted) after three major windstorms that took place in the past 100 years, the last in 2006.
Significant effort was put into constructing the near-century-old Vancouver Seawall, which can draw thousands of residents and visitors to the park every day. The park also features forest trails, beaches, lakes, children's play areas, and the Vancouver Aquarium, among many other attractions.
On June 18, 2014 Stanley Park was named ‘top park in the entire world’ by TripAdvisor.

Soldiers begin to move forward after getting out of the Griffon. Soldiers from the Defence and Security Platoon (D &S) practice helicopter load and unload drills on the Griffon helicopter. 427 Squadron provided the Griffon's for the exercise. The D&S Pl is made up of soldiers from The Lake Superior Scottish Regiment.
Soldiers from 38 Canadian Brigade are training in Winnipeg on Exercise Charging Bison 06 from 30 April to 6 May. The purpose of Exercise Charging Bison 06 is to expose 38 CBG soldiers to the intricacies of conducting operations in an urban environment such as they may encounter if they are deployed on operations outside of Canada. Specifically, 38 CBG needs to train its soldiers on how to interact with a local civilian population while, at the same time, remaining focused on a military mission.
38 CBG consists of Reserve soldiers from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario. Approximately 630 soldiers from 38 CBG, 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group from Northern Manitoba and Minnesota National Guard soldiers from 14 Infantry Division also took part in Exercise Charging Bison.
Took the modified Toyota Prius out on a roadtrip. Bonham, TX to Houston, TX and back.
Configuration: Rebuilt 140,000+ mile HV Battery pack, with two replacement modules from another pack with similar miles. Piggybacked onto the HV Battery is a capacitor bank, and a lithium battery bank. Also attached, is a lithium battery bank, piggybacked onto the aux 12volt battery, of which is trickled charged with a solar panel in the back window. The gasoline was 87 octane regular grade with 10% methanol.
In the photos, you'll see what the overall trip MPG average ended up being. Factors that I believe hurt the results were the start/stop highway parking lots in Dallas and Houston, both there and back, along with the fact, I ran out of gasoline, on one leg of the trip, and had to have BetterWorld Auto Club, deliver 3 gallons to get me on the road. I drove for several miles on battery, to get to a rest area, and it took quite awhile to get the battery recharged once on the road again. NOTE: Car is empty when it shows 1/4 tank, learned that the hard way.
I averaged 65mph, on the highway, crawling speeds in the 4 lane parking lots, and you'll see from the temperature display, I had the A/C running as well. Keep in mind this is a 2001 Prius, that doesn't have an electric a/c compressor.
Anyhow, Does the trip MPG Average seem OK?
Eucalyptus melliodora - standing on land that is planned to be developed as a new suburb in Canberra, to be known as Moncrief.
Another survey for Superb Parrots - none seen here but this old tree is the sort they need for nesting as a tree of this age often contains hollows.

Welcome to Venice
Venice, long revered as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, lies at the head of the Adriatic Sea in the salt- water Laguna Veneta. Resplendent with graceful palaces and churches, the city is built on 118 small islands and laced with a unique network of canals and bridges. In St. Mark's Square bells chime, violins play, shoppers stroll, lovers embrace, and visitors take it all in over cappuccino in a congenial cafe. just a turn of the head allows you to admire St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace, the bell tower, the clock tower where giant bronze Moors have struck the hours for five centuries, the old law courts and the old library. Described by Napoleon as the finest drawing room in Europe, the Piazza San Marco is just a prelude to a city whose treasures are too numerous to count.
