Belonged to my father who would have been 107 tomorrow. JLN = Jacob Lev Nachlin, the only case I know of of him using his Hebrew middle name.
Isn't she a beauty? Very impressive spider. See the small flies on her body?
The Argiope Trifasciata is an interesting spider and not that well studied. Most studies and findings are from the USA but it exists in many parts of the world, though mostly in tempered to warm areas and near coastal areas.
Where this one was photographed, the world expertise did not know it existed, but a few specimens have been found a few hundred miles further away. Some spider specialists still believe that this species does not exist in Europe. There is one very similar species here in Europe that is much more common.
The female grows to a size of 15-25mm, of which this one I photographed was close to the max 25mm. The male, which usually sits in it's own small orb web close to the females orb web, only grows to 4-6mm and is not much larger than the new born are.
The web the female constructs is quite large, up to a meter in diameter. She recreates most of it, at least the mid catching area, every night.
This species gets very active around September in southern Europe. At this time she gets really fat and creates many cocoons, each on it's own kind of web spider that is not part of the main orb web she uses for prey. The cocoon webs are left alone each night when recreating the main web.
This female had 3 cocoons when I was there, she has since created a fourth cocoon and just a few mornings ago one of those cocoons opened up with hundreds of tiny orange yellow young ones :)
While I was there I kept studying the female at night, around 0200-0500, which is the time she takes down the day old used up central orb web area and rebuilds it. Very interesting to see how magnificent work they do. The work takes hours and she is so meticulous. Whenever she gets to one of the main upholding web strings, or close to the cocoons, she really takes it slow and easy, making sure no wrong string is cut.
This spider is quite potent in venom but to humans it's harmless. It only gives a little bump and three days itching on humans. Getting her, or this species, to bite you is another matter though. This is probably one of the calmest and least aggressive spiders around. She barely ever leaves the net.
This is one of those species of orb weaving spiders that create "stabilimenta" which is the zig zagging part she weaves in the center. This creation is not yet fully understood, but several tests have been conducted and it is thought that the spider herself decides if that stabilimenta should be created or not, sometimes creating up to three on that same net. Studies show that whenever the female has created a stabilimenta, the number of prey caught goes down dramatically, up to 40% less catch. The benefits are often greater though as the destruction of the net by larger animals like birds is minimized by up to 50% or more when adding stabilimenta. This female that I studied had no problems catching prey anyhow. Not often I saw her without a new prey, and I kept checking her every 2 hours or so.
It also seems as if when she feels danger, or sees danger (like me getting close to her web) she starts to bob the web up to a 15 cm bobbing of the net, probably hoping that the stabilimenta and herself together will look more scary.
July 1976, anchored off Dubai, U.A.E.
We were awaiting a berth to discharge cargo at Dubai, having loaded a part cargo of mixed products at Bandar Mahshahr, Iran, and were off on a jollyboat trip to a laid up British tanker, the 'Burmah Peridot' to swap films, yarns and beers.
Some names known:
Left to right -
1) Purple tee-shirt was 2 or 3/E with his wife to his right side.
2) Tillerman was the 2/0.
3) White shorts man, looking back at ship was Scottish C/O Stan (George) Preston short beard, heavy set, short tempered and a grouch.
4) Wooly hat, was deck cadet Mick Harding.

What has become an annual event that just keeps on keeping on, is the Auto fest Spring car Nats held in Shepparton. Here is a link to the event organisers page, autofest.com.au/.
The event has been going for over 30 years, and for many there is no better way to spend the weekend than with like-minded people, as the entrants burn rubber with an excess of horsepower, that is thankfully quite obscene : )
There was and is everything from the go to woe, handling events, drifting, and of cause burn outs! Burnouts bouncing of the rev limiting, literally hitting the red line burnouts. How much rubber do they burn, enough so I can smell it from my house nearly a mile away : ) PS the smoke signals might be cultural appropriation, so some one should bring along a Pontiac and make it officially ok : P
Jack Danniels www.jackdaniels.com/en-au has a bar, so Tennessee is represented, although in the main part, not much American iron turns up at the event in comparison to the Australian contingent and Japanese cars.
V8s are the flavor, although you might be surprised like I was this year to see a Honda S2000 turn up, a pleasant inclusion, with one of the all-time great 4 bangers in it.
Black snot is a thing, that is if you can handle the close quarters action! You might like to take some year plugs, even then for about mile you will still be able to hear the cars at it.
As a car enthusiast I enjoy the day, friendly people getting their thing on, and having a great time.
PS. Make sure you drink lots of water, and keep hydrated!

24" substrate with 12" mirror I have covered in a mosaic of glass tile, stained glass, glass gems and tempered glass.
The team from Temper Theatre put on quite a display on the Mile while promoting their show "Terra Incognita"
Playing with tempered glass and layers- and bottle glass, textures, a touch of whimsy ...
Layer one is tempered glass on hardibacker using white thin-set mortar. A few leaves are in that layer too. A couple are flush and a few are made from curved green bottle glass which layer two will be pieced around. Layer one has been grouted in mocha. All the color is layer two- more to go as there will actually be no white in the finished mosaic.
Wondering- anyone see the man in the lower right? Or are you reading this going- "What?? That's a bird mosaic! What's she talking about??" Tried to make him blend so any response is cool :)
