These tubular beads are made from a plastic two-liter bottle. The bubble design (which reminds me of the ocean) is stamped into place using a small piece of Styrofoam (try it yourself). People love hearing this was made from a two-liter bottle, plus it gives me a chance to talk to them about the importance of recycling!
The High Constables of Edinburgh are a body of constables, founded in 1611 and located in Edinburgh, Scotland. Historically, the High Constables were charged with guarding the streets of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, however today their duties are mostly ceremonial. Historically they formed part of the now defunct Corporation of the City of Edinburgh. Not to be confused with High Constables of the Palace of Holyroodhouse or the High Constabulary of the Port of Leith.
The High Constables of Edinburgh were founded by an Act of Parliament under James VI.
Within Scotland the Lord High Constable was an officer of the Royal Household since at least c.1114. The officeholder deputised for the King of Scotland on military matters, and held a court - The High Court of Constabulary - in which the office holder was empowered to judge all cases of rioting, disorder, bloodshed and murder if such crimes occurred within four miles of the King, the King's Council, or the Parliament of Scotland. Other Constables were appointed with jurisdiction over various castles across the country. However, the lower level English Constables with jurisdiction over hundreds, villages and townships had not been introduced to Scotland; due to the nature of the Scottish landscape, order was maintained by Clan Chiefs and Feudal Lords. Constables had provided a civil guard in areas of England since 1285, when King Edward I of England passed the Statute of Winchester, with provisions which "constituted two constables in every hundred to prevent defaults in towns and highways", and by the 1600s, within local areas, a constable could be attested by two or more Justices of the Peace. After the union of the crowns in 1603 James VI of Scotland ascended to the throne of England. This resulted in a great cultural exchange, and the renewed fortunes of the City of Edinburgh as a trade centre with the Merchant Company of Edinburgh and the Incorporated Trades of Edinburgh. By 1611 with increased trade and occasional political disorder, The Kings Privy Council saw it necessary to implement a corps of guards, and “command[ed] the magistrates of Edinburgh to appoint some persons to guard their streets and to commit to ward all person found on the streets after the said hour (ten hours bell). If in the taking of them any inconvenient sal happen it is declared that the same shall not be imputed as a crime to the captors but as good and acceptable service”. Following many meetings of Edinburgh council, a number of constables were appointed - Half were merchants and half were craftsmen, and were charged with enforcing 16 regulations, relating to curfews, weapons and thefts.
During the 17th Century, the Constables were issued with "short batons for their pockets", paid for from their fines.
Over time the role of the society of High Constables changed, and they were forced to meet the evolving demands of law and order, attending executions, fires and riots. As the High Constables were principally respected gentlemen of the city, both merchants and in professions, there was concern that the increased demands made of them were unreasonable. In light of this the 1805 Edinburgh Police Act introduced a new police force designed to deal with the 'duties of watching over the peace of the metropolis'. In 1810 the constables were awarded the title of 'High Constables' to distinguish them from the other Edinburgh police force. The High Constables instead took on ceremonial duties, providing guards at the Edinburgh council, and parading for Royal visits.
Traditions
The body retains traditions of fining members for non attendance without a valid excuse and of inspecting the batons at the election of new constables.
The uniform of the High Constables is that of morning dress, a black top hat, pinstripe grey trousers and a black morning coat and bears similarities to the uniform of the Cambridge University Constabulary in England. On non-ceremonial occasions High Constables may wear a lounge suit and bowler hat. The leader of the society of High Constables, known as the Moderator, wears a gold chain. Other officers also wear chains. The Treasurer carries a brass money box which was made in 1698. There are also large silver mounted batons for the use of Office Bearers
Present day
Today, the society serves as the official bodyguard to the Lord Provost, and continues to provide ceremonial guards at significant Edinburgh occasions. These include the Kirking of the Deacons and Riding of the Marches, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo where they lead the Lord Provost's Platoon and the Edinburgh Hogmanay Celebrations. The constitution of the Society was modified in 1997 when the members agreed by a two thirds majority to permit women to become members. This was done at the request of the City of Edinburgh Council.

A pair of fishing stores in the community of Port Rexton, Newfoundland. These traditional stores or stages, used to store fishing equipment are still a common site throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and many are quite old, being kept up through generations. This red ochre type paint is the predominant colour of these buildings, although I`m not sure why.

Maybe that's why army stationed me here, too. Maybe if we hadn't stuck together, he'd be the only one marooned for his actions. In this tin shack in the desert.
The shack is sturdy. We have the corrugated walls to thank for that. But it's also hot in that thing. So we sit out here. Waiting.
When army put us here, they told us our orders would arrive promptly. After his incident, I didn't understand what they were thinking, how they could still be considering using him. He needs another mission like he needs a gun to his head. Now I know exactly what they were thinking.
That day, for whatever reason, he jerked up. He towered above me, then and now. He towers over most people, actually. Him coming at you armed isn't exactly a welcoming sight.
He took a few steps out. His limbs swung in choppy motions. I could tell he was sore. We'd spent months on the hard, unforgiving terrain, lying or sitting. Always in discomfort.
He looked out across the dunes. Nothing. I asked, "what are you hoping to find?"
He responded wistfully, "Closure."

These were two orthodox Christian women. They wore black from head to toe. It seems they were there for the same thing that I was...a Christian "Icon" exhibit at the Getty Museum.
