On 1 May 2019, GDS ran it's 4th cross-government API meetup, bringing together people involved in API development. It was a chance for everyone to learn from each other, and move towards common government API standards. There were also talks from various UK and international governments.

This is a worker bee. They are non-reproductive females.
Taking advantage of dead bee I was lucky to find well preserved (altough lacking the abdomen), reverse 28mm on full set of tubes - don't worry, I won't ever stop the natural shots!

The secrets of a lost Egyptian city were underwater
Thomas Page, for CNN • Published 5th May 2016
The ancient Egyptian cities of Canopus and Thonis-Heracleion sat on the seabed of the Abukir Bay for over a thousand years before pioneering archeologist Franck Goddio began excavating in 199. Now his finds are part of an upcoming exhibition at the British Museum in London: Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds.

(CNN) — Until 1996, two of Egypt's greatest cities were missing. Then along came French archeologist Franck Goddio, who made an extraordinary discovery underwater.
For 1,000 years, Thonis-Heracleion was completely submerged. Fish made their homes among the rubble of mighty temples; hieroglyphs gathered algae. Gods and kings sat in stasis, powerless, their statues slowly withdrawing from the world, one inch of sand at a time. Goddio spent years surveying this find, as well as neighboring Canopus, which was rediscovered by a British RAF pilot in 1933 who noticed ruins leading into the waters.
Thanks to a new exhibition at the British Museum, Goddio's incredible finds will soon be open to the public.
Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds opens May 19, and according to museum curator, Aurelia Masson-Berghoff, the exhibition pulls back the curtain on what was once one of archeology's greatest mysteries.
"(Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus) were known from Greek mythology, Greek historians and Egyptian decrees, and now we know where they were."
Objects discovered in the Mediterranean Sea are helping archaeologists uncover the history of two Egyptian lost cities.
Likely founded in the 7th century BC, Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus acted as major trade hubs between ancient Egypt, Greece and the wider Mediterranean, located as they were at a handy intersection. But circumstances ultimately conspired against them, explains Masson-Berghoff.
"Several natural phenomenon caused these cities to sink by a maximum of (32 feet) below the sea," she says, noting that a naturally rising sea level, subsidence and earthquakes (which ultimately triggered tidal waves) all played a hand.
Revealing excavations in the north of Egypt show how Greeks and Egyptians lived together thousands of years ago.
Gods of yester-millennium
Masson-Berghoff explains they also learned a lot from the form taken by the religious statues dug up from their watery grave. The statues were mainly of Ptolemaic gods with human features that represented the same qualities Egyptians prescribed to animals
"The Greeks were not exactly into animal-shaped gods nor into animal worship," she explains. "The Ptolemies, the Greco-Macedonian rulers of Egypt after Alexander the Great, created a human-shaped version of a very old Egyptian god, the sacred bull Osiris-Apis. In its 'Greek' form, he became Serapis, combining the aspects and functions of major Greek gods."
CNN gets a special tour of the "Sunken cities: Egypt's lost worlds" exhibition at the British Museum in London.
One of the statues was that of a colossal head representing the god Serapis, a Greek human-shaped version of the Egyptian god Osiris-Apis.
"We will show in 'Sunken Cities' a variety of sculptures depicting these Greco-Macedonian rulers as Egyptian Pharaohs, wearing Egyptian crowns and acting as if they were Egyptian Pharaohs," the curator says.
It was not vanity that prompted their change in style, but shrewd political maneuvering. "The Ptolemies really understood that they needed the support of the local priesthood and population, to legitimize their rule," Masson-Berghoff argues. "To achieve this, they adopted Egyptian beliefs, rituals and iconography."
The largest item on display is a statue of Hapy, ironically the god of flooding. Over 16-feet tall and weighing 12,000 pounds, the pink granite sculpture dates from the fourth century BC, long before Thonis-Heracleion disappeared into the sea.
Also worth noting is what Goddio's team left on the seabed. The archeologist discovered 69 ships: "the largest assemblage of boats ever discovered," Masson-Berghoff claims -- one of them likely used on a Grand Canal which linked Canopus and Thonis-Heracleion, upon which a sacred barge made of sycamore would travel during the Mysteries of Osiris, a celebration of the god of the underworld.
All of this, however, is just a drop in the bucket.
"What you need to know is that Franck excavated less than 5% of this site," the curator stresses. "They left a lot of material on the seabed."
The BP exhibition Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds runs at the British Museum, London from May 19 to November 27.

It stated
"Berliner Maschinebau"
don't know what it meant.
Fire war that held when "Pengerupukan" (a day before silent day)
hosted by the society of Br.Gunung and Umakepuh, buduk village, mengwi, Badung, Bali
was a inheritance from the ancestors.
as the implementation of Pengerupukan especially on Fire war
the atribute they need is coconut fibre and fire, as fire is the symbol of bravery.
fire war being held on Sandikala (about 6pm) which is the border of day and night that have a meaning of rwa bineda (two that different),
on fire war the part when we throw fire on each other also has a meaning that the one we fight is the enemy inside each of ourselves
that really hard to defeat, like for example the lust as the next day is the silent day,
we have to do Tapa Brata penyepian.
Perang Api yang dilaksanakan pada saat pengerupukan yang dilaksanakan oleh masyarakat Adat Br.Gunung dan Umakepuh,
Desa Adat Buduk, Kec.Mengwi Kab.Badung Bali sudah berlangsung dari sejak dulu
yang saat ini kalau ditanyakan kepada yang umurnya paling tua tidak dapat memberikan makna yang jelas
terhadap pelaksanaan perang api pada saat pengerupukan ,
dikatakan tetamian ( warisan ).
Untuk sarana upacara dalam agama hindu salah satu dipakai adalah “ Api “ sekarang pada umumnya memakai dupa,
dulu orang memakai api dakep ( Dua serabut kelapa yang disilang didalamnya ada api),
dalam pelaksanaan rentetan pengerupukan khususannya perang api yang digunakan adalah Serabut Kelapa dan api,
dimana api adalah simbul keberanian, keberanian terkait dengan kesaktian / ilmu kebatinan,
jaman dahulu banyak yang mempelajari ilmu kebatinan dimana sudah dipastikan adanya adu kesaktian,
sudah dipastikan dalam pertandingan ada yang kalah dan ada yang menang.
Dalam pelaksanaan perang api pada saat pengerupukan dilaksanakan pada saat Sandikala
yaitu jam perbatasan siang dan malam yang mempunyai makna rwa bineda ( dua yang berbeda ),
dalam perang api tersebut kita saling lempar api juga memiliki makna bahwa yang kita perangi adalah musuh dalam diri kita yang sangat sulit dilumpuhkan,
misalnya hawa nafsu yang besoknya hari raya nyepi kita melaksanakan Tapa Brata Penyepian .
Siapapun mereka dalam kehidupan sekarang dapat menunjukan keberanian yang positif dan kemauan dan dapat mengalahkan musuh yang ada dalam dirinya ( Sad Ripu )
maka mendapatkan ketenangan yang abadi .
