"Society Hill is a historic neighborhood in Center City Philadelphia, with a population of 6,215 as of the 2010 United States Census. Settled in the early 1680s, Society Hill is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Philadelphia. After urban decay developed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an urban renewal program began in the 1950s, restoring the area and its many historic buildings. Society Hill has since become one of the most expensive neighborhoods with the highest average income and second-highest real estate values in Philadelphia. Society Hill's historic colonial architecture, along with planning and restoration efforts, led the American Planning Association to designate it, in 2008, as one of the great American neighborhoods and a good example of sustainable urban living.
The neighborhood hosts one of the largest concentrations of original 18th- and early 19th-century buildings in the United States. Society Hill is noted for its Franklin street lamps, brick sidewalks, cobblestone and Belgian block streets bordered by two- to four-story brick rowhouses in Federal and Georgian architecture, and public buildings in Greek Revival architecture such as the Merchants' Exchange Building and the Old Pine Street Church.
Philadelphia, often called Philly, is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the sixth-largest city in the U.S., the second-largest city in both the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City, and the 68th-largest city in the world. Since 1854, the city has been coextensive with Philadelphia County, the most populous county in Pennsylvania and the urban core of the Delaware Valley, the nation's seventh-largest and world's 68th-largest metropolitan region, with 6.245 million residents as of 2020. The city's population as of the 2020 census was 1,603,797, and over 56 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker. The city served as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774 following the Boston Tea Party, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, both the Battle of Germantown and the Siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 while the new national capital of Washington, D.C. was under construction.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Philadelphia emerged as a major national industrial center and railroad hub. The city’s blossoming industrial sector attracted European immigrants, predominantly from Germany and Ireland, the two largest reported ancestry groups in the city as of 2015. In the 20th century, immigrant waves from Italy and elsewhere in Southern Europe arrived. Following the end of the Civil War in 1865, Philadelphia became a leading destination for African Americans in the Great Migration. In the 20th century, Puerto Rican Americans moved to the city in large numbers. Between 1890 and 1950, Philadelphia's population doubled to 2.07 million. Philadelphia has since attracted immigrants from East and South Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2021, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of US$479 billion. Philadelphia is the largest center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and the broader multi-state Delaware Valley region; the city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. The Philadelphia skyline, which includes several globally renowned commercial skyscrapers, is expanding, primarily with new residential high-rise condominiums. The city and the Delaware Valley are a biotechnology and venture capital hub; and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by NASDAQ, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, including Philadelphia International Airport, the PhilaPort seaport, freight rail infrastructure, roadway traffic capacity, and warehouse storage space, are all expanding.
Philadelphia is a national cultural hub, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest contiguous urban parks and the 45th largest urban park in the world. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in total economic impact to the city and surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and a hugely loyal fan base, the city is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Inis Mór (Inishmore) Ruined Monastic church and graveyard
The Aran Islands (Irish: Oileáin Árann—pronunciation: [ˈɪlɑːn ˈɑːrənʲ]) are a group of three islands located at the mouth of Galway Bay, on the west coast of Ireland. They constitute the barony of Aran in County Galway, Ireland.
From west to east the islands are: Inishmore (Árainn Mhór/Inis Mór —[ˈɑːrənʲ woːr], the largest; Inishmaan (Inis Meáin/Inis Meadhóin—[ˈɪnɪɕ mʲɑːn]), the second-largest; and Inisheer (Inis Thiar/Inis Oírr/Inis Oirthir—[ˈiniʃ hiər / iːrʲ / erʲhirʲ]), the smallest.
The 1,200 inhabitants primarily speak Irish, the language used in local placenames. Most islanders are also fluent in English.
The islands' geology is mainly karst limestone, related to the Burren in Co. Clare (to the east), not the granites of Connemara to the north.
This is most obvious in the construction of the walls around the fields.
The limestones date from the Visean period (Lower Carboniferous), formed as sediments in a tropical sea approximately 350 million years ago, and compressed into horizontal strata with fossil corals, crinoids, sea urchins, and ammonites. Glaciation following the Namurian phase facilitated greater denudation. The result is that the Aran islands are one of the finest examples of a Glacio-Karst landscape in the world. The effects of the last glacial period (the Midlandian) are most in evidence, with the islands overrun by ice during this glaciation. The impact of earlier Karstification (solutional erosion) has been eliminated by the last glacial period.
So any Karstification now seen dates from approximately 11,000 years ago and the island Karst is thus recent.
Solutional processes have widened and deepened the grykes of the limestone pavement. Pre-existing lines of weakness in the rock (vertical joints) contribute to the formation of extensive fissures separated by clints (flat pavement like slabs). The rock karstification facilitates the formation of sub-terrainean drainage.
Huge boulders up to 25 metres (80 ft) above the sea at parts of the west facing cliffs are in some cases an extreme form of storm beach, cast there by giant waves that occur on average once per century, though more are glacial erratics.
On the cliff tops, ancient forts such as Dún Aonghasa (Dún Aengus) on Inish Mór and Dún Chonchúir (Fort of Conchobar) on Inishmaan are some of the oldest archaeological remains in Ireland. A lacework of ancient stone walls (1,600 km or 1,000 mi in all) enfolds all three islands to contain local livestock.
The islands were first populated in larger numbers probably at the time of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in the mid-17th century, when the Catholic population of Ireland had the choice of going "to hell or to Connacht". Many fled to the numerous islands off the west coast of Ireland where they adapted themselves to the raw climatic conditions, developing a survival system of total self-sufficiency.
Their methods included mixing layers of sand and seaweed on top of rocks to create fertile soil, a technique used to grow potatoes and other vegetables. The same seaweed method also provided grazing grass within stone-wall enclosures for cattle and sheep, which in turn provided wool and yarn to make handwoven trousers, skirts and jackets, hand-knitted sweaters, shawls, caps, and hide shoes.
The islands are the home of the Aran sweater, which gained worldwide appeal during the course of the 20th century.

We may not use it all in a week, but we start each week fully stocked, I make a menu before I shop, so I make a list from the menu then pick up staples to keep us well stocked. Part of our regs say we have to have 1 week non-perishable and 3 days perishable on hand at all times.
On average four Australian children lose an eye to a magpie each spring, when the males are guarding the couple's nest and territory. Dozens more, adults and children, are wounded, usually on the scalp or ear.
They are intelligent birds, and remember faces from one year to the next, quite often conducting vendettas against certain individuals over several seasons, while leaving many other passers-by alone. Their personalities and aggressiveness vary widely from bird to bird, and Australians have accordingly widely varied experiences and views on the species. While in general its bad to feed wildlife, there is a consensus that if you feed a bird only a couple of times it will remember you as a friend and never attack you.
Couple of example readers' comments from an article on the issue on the ABC news site;
_______________________________________________________________________
Several years ago we moved house and come spring the magpies that nested near our new yard were fearsome; they gouged wounds in my children's scalps and attacked all of us constantly. By the 2nd year they were attempting to fly towards my face while I was hanging washing under the clothesline - which "experts" have told me is very unusual as they attack from behind. Apparently.
By the 3rd year I was dreading spring. We tried feeding the magpies through the winter - the "experts" had always said not to do this but I thought we had nothing to lose. Amazingly we had 2 mild swoops the whole of that season and by the 4th year the whole family of magpies would come to be fed. Every few weeks I toss a handful of bread scraps out to them and we have not been swooped since.
_______________________________________________________________________
During magpie breeding season, there were always swooping magpies. Signs would be put up on trees to warn pedestrians/cyclists that you were about to enter the territory of a swooping bird. Being warned meant people could be prepared and hence were less likely to be startled by the birds. I always put cable-ties on my helmet. Perhaps it did enrage the poor birds further, as I certainly was always swooped, but at least it meant the birds couldn't get too close to my head (pre-cable-ties, one bird took a piece out of my ear!). A friend of mine alwasys stopped his bike and fed the birds. He was friends with all the nesting magpies. He was never swooped! The birds are smart enough to recognise people they know. They are fabulous birds, real characters, and have a lovely song. We need to share our space with them.

The average human body is covered by about 20 square feet (2 square meters) of skin. Skin is the only organ that is constantly exposed to potential irritation. And, with so many things coming into contact with your skin daily, you're bound to get an itch or two. Serious itching can be caused by allergies, disease, emotions and infections,
Itching, also known as pruritus, starts with some kind of external stimuli, including bugs, dust, clothing fibers and hair. Like tickling, itching is a built-in defense mechanism that alerts your body to the potential of being harmed. In this case, it might be the potential of being bit by a bug.
When the stimuli lands on your skin, it may not bother you at first, but soon it will begin to rub back and forth across your skin. Once the hair or dust scratches your skin's surface layer, receptors in the dermis of the skin will become irritated. In a split second, these receptors send a signal through fibers in the skin to your spinal cord and then up to the cerebral cortex in your brain.
The same fibers that send itching signals are also used to send pain signals to the brain, which once led some scientists to believe that itching was a form of light pain. That notion has since been dispelled by research, which showed that pain and itching elicit opposite responses. Pain causes us to withdraw and itching causes us to scratch.
As soon as we feel an itch, our first natural response is to scratch the spot of the itch with our fingernails. The reason for this response is simple -- we want to remove the irritant as soon as possible. Once you've scratched the area of irritation, you are likely to feel some relief. When your brain realizes that you've scratched away the irritant, the signal being sent to your brain that you have an itch is interrupted and therefore no longer recognized by the brain.

Pushkar (Hindi: पुष्कर) is a town in the Ajmer district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is situated 14 km northwest of Ajmer at an average elevation of 510 m and is one of the five sacred dhams (pilgrimage site) for devout Hindus. According to Hindu theology, the pond at the Katas Raj temple Near Choa Saidan Shah in Chakwal District of Pakistan has a theological association with Shiva; it was formed by the tears of Lord Shiva which he is believed to have shed after the death of his wife, Sati. The story goes that when Sati died, Shiva cried so much and for so long, that his tears created two holy ponds – one at Pushkara in Ajmer in India and the other at Ketaksha, which literally means raining eyes, in Sanskrit. It is from this name that the word Katas is derived. It is often called "Tirth Raj" – the king of pilgrimage sites – and has in recent years become a popular destination for foreign tourists.
Pushkar is one of the oldest existing cities of India. It lies on the shore of Pushkar Lake. The date of its actual origin is not known, but legend associates Brahma with its creation.
Pushkar has many temples. Most of the temples are not very old because MANY TEMPLES WERE DESTROYED DURING MUSLIM CONQUESTS in the area. Subsequently, the destroyed temples were rebuilt. The most famous among all is the Brahma Temple built during the 14th century CE. Very few temples to Lord Brahma exist anywhere in the world. Other temples of Brahma include Bithoor in Uttar Pradesh, India; Khedbrahma in Gujarat, India; village Asotra near Balotra city of Barmer district in Rajasthan; Uttamar Kovil (one of the Divya Desams) near Srirangam, Tamil Nadu; Mother Temple of Besakih in Bali, Indonesia; and Prambanan in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The Pushkar lake has 52 ghats where pilgrims descend to the lake to bathe in the sacred waters.
Pushkar is also famous for its annual fair (Pushkar Camel Fair) held in November.
ETYMOLOGY
Pushkar in Sanskrit means blue lotus flower. Hindus believe that the gods released a swan with a lotus in its beak and let it fall on earth where Brahma would perform a grand yagna. The place where the lotus fell was called Pushkar. Pushkar word may be derived from word 'Pushkarni'means- lake. It may be derived from word Pushpa means flower and Kar means hand.
HISTORY
Pushkar is one of the oldest cities of India. The date of its actual founding is not known, but legend associates Brahma with its creation.
According to legend, Brahma was in search of a place for Mahayagna and he found this place suitable. After a long time, Brahma came to known that a demon, Vajranash, was killing people here so the Lord intoned a mantra on a lotus flower and killed the demon. During this process the parts of flower fell on three places which were later known as Jyaistha, Madhya and Kanistha Pushkar. After this Brahma performed a yagna to protect this place from demons. The consort of Brahma, Saraswati, were needed to offer Ahuti for the yagna but she was not there that time so Gayatri, a Gurjar girl, was married to brahma and performned yagna. This act made first wife of Brahma, Saraswati, angry and she cursed Brahma saying that he would be worshiped in Pushkar only.
The Mahabharata says that while laying down a programme for Maharaja Yudhishthara’s travel, “Maharaja after entering the Jungles of Sind and crossing the small rivers on the way should bathe in Pushkara". And, as per Vaman Purana, Prahlada on his pilgrimage to holy places visited Pushkarayana.
A Gurjara Pratihara ruler of Mandore, Nahadarava, restored this tirtha in the seventh century. He got the place cleared and the lake restored by making an embankment on the side of the river Luni. He rebuilt old palaces and built twelve dharmashalas (resting places) and ghats on three sides of the lake.
According to Rajputana Gazetteer Pushkar was held by Chechi Gurjars until about 700 years ago.Later Some shrines were occupied by Kanphati Jogis.
There are still priests from the Gurjar community in Pushkar temple, known as Bhopas.
The sage Parasara is said to have been born here. His descendants, called Parasara Brahamanas, are found in Pushkar and the surrounding area. The famous temple of Jeenmata has been cared for by Parasara Brahmans for the last 1,000 years.
It is also the venue of the annual Pushkar Camel Fair. In 1901, the town was part of the Rajputana Agency had a population of 3,831.
PUSHKAR FAIR
Pushkar fair continues for five days and these five days are a period of relaxation and merry-making for the villagers. This fair time is the most busy time for them, as this is one of the largest cattle fairs in the country. Animals, including over 50,000 camels, are brought from miles around to be traded and sold. Trading is brisk as several thousand heads of cattle exchange hands. All the camels are cleaned, washed, adorned, some are interestingly shorn to form patterns, and special stalls are set up selling finery and jewellery for the camels. Camels at the Pushkar fair are decorated with great care. They wear jewellery of silver and beads. There are silver bells and bangles around their ankles that jangle when they walk. An interesting ritual is the piercing of a camel's nose. It has more than 400 temples including the only one temple in India dedicated to the Hindu God Lord Brahma, the Creator of the Universe.
According to Indian mythology, after visiting all the Hindu pilgrim towns and temples (Four Dhams), if Pushkar is not visited for worship, then salvation is not achieved. According to the Hindu calendar Pushkar Fair commences in Nawami (ninth day of fortnightly phases of moon) and ends in Purnima (Full Moon) in the month of Kartika (October or November according to the lunar calendar). In Pushkar, one of the biggest Cattle Fair is also held for trading purposes and the best cattle in all categories are awarded. Countless people in their colourful attire gather to take a dip in the Holy Lake and pray to the deities. The whole town comes alive with vibrant folk music and dances, magic shows, horse and camel races and various other traditional entertainment competitions.Pushkar, with more than 12 local fairs and festivals of 10–15 days duration is a year round destination. It is a mellow town by the great lake of Pushkar amidst the perfume of jasmine and rose flowers. About 4,000 to 6,000 visitors from all over the world come to Pushkar everyday.
PUSHKAR LAKE
The prime attraction of Pushkar is the Pushkar Lake which is considered sacred like the Mansarovar Lake in Tibet. Pushkar has become a place of Hindu pilgrimage because of this holy lake. Legend has it that this lake was consecrated to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe when a lotus dropped from his hand into the vale and a lake emerged in that place.
BRAHMA TEMPLE
The most important temple in Pushkar is the Temple of Lord Brahma, one of the holy trinity of Hinduism. The temple enshrines a life-size idol of Lord Brahma.
SAVITRI TEMPLE
This temple that is located at the top of the Ratnagiri Hill is dedicated to Savitri, the wife of Lord Brahma. The temple houses a statue of Goddess Savitri.

before I spam you wit bunch of pics from Tico in white suit, I tease you with this. I was hoping that rain to stop so I could get some skateboard pics but it's still wet outside. :/ Maybe next week?
So, I got a shelf. (gasp!)
On this shelf, my dollies tend to sit. Usually they sit on perfectly neat line. Sometimes they end up doing... something. I tend to pile stuff there so it get crowded and then I get all creative. Usually it involves Minttu making silly stunts. But these 2 are definatelly my clowns! They look super dorky together, makin me smile when I pass them. My lil dolls love to pile up on top of poor Tic. Tico is too softy to disaprove.
Random fact. If I would want Tico to be in scale of my minis, he would acctually be about same size as Sakarias (= minifee sized). Means, that Unto should actually be taller than him. :D
Stemonitis flavogenita E.Jahn
?
Slo.: ?
Dat.: Aug. 11. 2014
Lat.: 46.36119 Long.: 13.70107
Code: Bot_823/2014_DSC2764
Habitat: old partly overgrown pasture, near mixed wood edge, moderately southeast inclined foot of a mountain; open, dry, sunny place; shallow, skeletal, calcareous ground, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 630 m (2.070 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: north side of a stump of Picea abies (on decorticated part) cut down three years ago.
Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soča and Trenta, upper part of 'Na melu' place, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC
Comment: Highly distinctive traits of Stemonitis flavogenita are typically zig-zag bent columella with a kind of plate at the end just before the end of sporangia (Ref.:1). It is not gradually tapering toward the end of sporocarp as with other species of genus Stemonitis. It is also distinguished by the presence of membranous expansions in the capillitium. Also agreement of macroscopic properties fit well to literature, so I hope the determination is correct. This observation may be interesting since this species is listed neither in Boletus Informaticus data base, Mycotheca and lichen herbarium (LJU-Li) of Slovenian Forestry Institute nor in official Slovenian fungi checklist.
Sporocarp color rusty, oac719; spores on mass chocolate brown, oac635. Stalks 2.5 to 3 mm long, total length of sporangia 9 mm, all of them were fairly the same length, very closely tufted, their tips blunt. The whole clump had 14 mm in diameter.
Spores finely warted, globose. Dimensions: 8,4 [8,8 ; 9] 9,5 x 8,2 [8,6 ; 8,7] 9,1 microns; Q = 1 [1,0] 1,1; N = 32; C = 95%; Me = 8,9 x 8,7 microns; Qe = 1.

Leptoporus mollis
Slo.: mehka skutovka
Dat.: Oct. 31. 2013
Lat.: 46.38337 Long.: 13.75061
Code: Bot_768/2013_DSC9113
Habitat: Mixed wood, east inclined fairly steep mountain slope, calcareous ground, humid place, in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 640 m (2.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: large, approximately 70 cm (2.3 feet) in diameter, debarked fallen trunk of Picea abies in its late stage of disintegration.
Place: Trenta valley, west of village Trenta, right bank of river Soča, next to 'Soška pot' trail, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC
Comments: This is an interesting fungus from several reasons. First it is quite rare. Second it is the only known species in the genus Leptoporus. Third it is a real surprise when you touch it - surprisingly spongy and so soft, that it is hard to handle it without damaging it. Indeed in strong contrast to what one expects from similar bracket fungi on wood.
Growing in groups, many fruit bodies present on the log; sessile brackets up to 5 cm wide, up to 2.5 cm off the substrate and about 2 cm thick, trama layer up to 12 mm thick, pore layer 5-7 mm thick, brackets partly fused; thickly effuse-reflexed form up to 5 x 3.5 cm, totally resupinated patches up to 20 x 6 cm; bruising reddish-brown when touched; taste distinctly aromatic-bitter; smell mushroomy, pleasant, lightly acid; flesh very soft like watery white cheese; no SP obtained, spores collected directly from pore surface using a soft brush; no hypha clamps observed; 5% KOH reaction on pore surface deep brown with red tint; the same on pileus, yet slower reaction and less intensive. Spores' width fits expectations; however, their length is somewhat too small. Probably they were not yet mature.
Spores smooth. Dimensions (only larger spores have been measured): 4.7 (SD= 0.2) x 1.8 (SD = 0.1) μ, Q = 2.62 (SD = 0.23), n = 21. Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water. Basidia dimensions: 16.1 (SD = 1.8) x 4.4 (SD = 0.4) μ, n = 7. Olympus CH20, NEA 40x, magnification 400 x, in water, Congo red. AmScope MA500 digital camera.

Nowadays Cambodia lives a serious child overpopulation problem (the average is 5/6 children per married couple) in addition to a difficult fight against poverty (infant mortality is up to 7, 3%), because the authorities are not investing in social projects regarding sexual education or in conditioning their minds towards the condom use. Moreover, the Government has become totally indifferent to the current situation and they show no interest in trying to find a solution to this problem. Therefore, parents find themselves in the position that have to abandon their children in orphanages until they are old enough to have full rights as a citizen, or sell them in order to get something in exchange to survive.
The 30% of Cambodia’s population has a lack of Basic School Education and only the 35% has finished Higher School. Education in Cambodia is not free and, of course, there is no infrastructure to welcome all the children of the country.
Education rates are:
*Basic/Primary Education: 500 riels per child a day (0.13US dollar)
*Secondary Education: 1.500 riels per child a day (0.38US dollar)
*High School Education: 4.000 riels per child a day (1US dollar)
In 1999, Mrs. and Mr. Savang created the N.A.C.A. orphanage (National Action Culture Association) and two years later, in 2001, they opened their home place to everybody with the objective of taking in children that families had no means of support. Today, the Cambodian couple have 27 children living there between the ages of 6 and 17 years old and, luckily, they can enjoy of a place to eat, sleep and receive a basic education.
N.A.C.A.’s orphanage, apart from providing a roof, food and cloths to these children, concentrate all the efforts on teaching the English language (lessons given by foreign volunteers and Sous Namee, Cambodian volunteer), because they truly believe will be very helpful for their future. Traditional and contemporary dance and Cambodian music are very important subjects, too. I would like to mention thirteen children of the group are studying Primary School, three in the morning and ten in the afternoon.
However, due to a high number of foster children the orphanage has problems to afford all the expenses (medicines, food, cloths…) and moreover there is a big lack of space (there is a need of 20.000US dollars to buy a new plot).

Comment: Members of the genus Orobanche s.lat (Broomrapes) are extraordinarily fascinating plants in a similar way as Orchids. They have no chlorophyll and take food from their hosts. Similar like Orchids, which can't grow without a symbiotic relation with fungi, Orobanche can't grow without pure parasitic relation with specific green plants. While with Orchids both participating partners have some kind of benefit from the common life, with Orobanche only they profit while the other side pays the bill. The hosts regularly remain underdeveloped and crippled and do not bloom.
In general Orobanche can be considered as a quite rare plant in nature, particularly some species of this genus. They are far of being numerous or aggressive and therefore their parasitic life style does not 'harm' nature significantly. However, this ceases to be true when men start to 'arrange' nature - in agriculture. Some species of this genus have become real plagues and large monoculture fields can be totally devastated by them. The reason lies in the way of their propagation. A single plant can produce up to several hundred thousand of seeds, which are like dust and among the smallest in the world. But, a seed can germinate only in case that the wind deposits it directly on the roots of a sometimes very specific host plant. So, only very, very small percentage of these seeds actually germinates thus keeping the number of new plants in proportions. Not so in large agricultural fields. Unfortunately, several suitable host plants are at the same time also agriculturally important. In such fields there are plenty of host's roots there; actually each root is just the right one for the seeds. Consequently Orobanche plants may occur in stands numbering millions and crop plants are 'suck' dry unable to flower and produce fruit. Instead of fields full of tobacco or clover a flood of these botanical 'rarities' is the result.
Determination of plants to species level in this genus is difficult from several reasons. But, in spite of the fact that Orobanche gracilis is very variable plant (size, color, etc), it is actually an exception in this respect. It can be relatively easily recognized by unique blood red inner side of corolla and bright yellow stigma having a purple red margin. Its hosts are numerous and thus of little help in determination because it parasitizes on many plants of several genera within the large pea famili (Fabaceae).

International bandwidth costs are expected to fall by 90% following the completion of the SEACOM, TEAMS and GLO-1 undersea cable projects this year.
The combined cost of these marine cable projects is over two billion US dollars; to bring over 14 terabits of bandwidth to the region.
Broadband use in the region is still disproportionately concentrated, with South Africa, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and tunisia accounting for over 90% of all household subscriptions.
