The Annapurna Base Camp was the destination of my trekking trip in Nepal.
It is considered to be one of the most picturesque trekking routes in Nepal and it was a real challenge for me.
Every meter and step ( I had to manage several 10000) through bamboo and rhododendron forests, beautiful mountain villages, rice fields, hot springs, wild high mountain landscapes and breathtaking views of the many 7 and 8000s. It was worth it.
The Basecamp is located at the foot of the southern Annapurna Glacier, surrounded by Annapurna-South (7219 m), Annapurna I (8091 m), Khangsar Kang (7465 m), Gangapurna (7485 m) and Annapurna III (7555 m)It was an unforgettable experience.
A big thanksto my tour guid Krishan and
my Porter Dawa.

Bristling with missiles and radar, Russia's northernmost military base projects the country's power and influence across the Arctic from a remote, desolate island amid an intensifying international competition for the region's vast resources. Russia's northernmost military outpost sits on the 80th parallel North, projecting power over wide swathes of Arctic amid an intensifying international rivalry over the polar region's vast resources.

Dolphin Base 17 March , 2014
Dolphin Base, 1 of 3 captive dolphin and small whale brokers located in Taiji.
This is nothing more than a floating prison.
These dolphins were taken from the killing cove as their families were slaughtered. Now forced to live a life of slavery.
They will be trained and sold to marine parks around the world.
The horrors of the dolphin captive trade here in Taiji are year round.

We walked the Pressure Ridge line, just off New Zealand's Scott Base, Antarctica.
A pressure ridge develops in an ice cover as a result of a stress regime established within the plane of the ice. Within sea ice expanses, pressure ridges originate from the interaction between floes, as they collide with each other. Currents and winds are the main driving forces, but the latter are particularly effective when they have a predominant direction.

Hello to all my flickr friends. I have been out for a bit, but have been enjoying your great images. I have been trying out my new D600 whenever possible and on this particular morning Paul Bowman and I tried our luck at a sunrise at Mt Hood. It was uneventfull and we decided to see what was going on at Yocum. As we started our trek I say "it's not that far, we shouldn't need our snow shoes" opps. We post holed calf to knee deep the whole way but it was worth the cool ice formations at the base of the falls. I have been here many times and the icy conditions are definitely the best look.

Before the birds I got stuck in a loop exploring things made with a waterbomb base as a modular unit. It started with a discussion between Philip Chapman-Bell and Mélisande about a heron cube inspired by a heron he had created with a unique twist. The cube was made with waterbomb base units, something I hadn't seen before. Not a huge fan of modular stuff because I work mostly from my chair with the keyboard of my laptop as my surface.
She also posted a photo of something she called a waterbomb cube made from 6 squares of copy paper.

Given the discussion about the other cube, I assumed it was also made from waterbomb base units. A quick look made me think something wasn't right, so I downloaded a copy to look at later. Then I cut up bunch of my cheap paper into four squares per sheet to play. Every day I played around with the bases I made and in the meantime searched everywhere online for more info. The closest thing I could find was Robert Neale's skeletal octahedron. I had no idea how Mélisande*' could possibly get that model out of six of these units. If I had been paying attention, I would have noticed that she posted another model a few days later of a waterbomb carpet.

And I might have noticed that she never said either model was made from waterbomb base units. Every day I went back to folding my birds and I'd see something that made me think about my challenge. At the end of the day I'd play with the pieces while watching TV.
This week I switched from birds to pigs and a couple of times I saw something that gave me an aha! moment that took me down another path. Then finally while folding Roman Diaz's inflatable pig (pictures next week of the pigs) it hit me. I picked up one of my hubby's waterbombs from the shelf and turned it into a cube. Then I turned it inside out and saw the light. I turned all my tired base units into flat waterbombs and tried to figure out how to connect them. It took me a while to sort out how to do the modules until I remembered that the bit underneath the floor was the other half of the waterbomb
As you can see, I have figured out that these units will in fact make Mélisande*''s model. Now I have to figure out how to connect them. I made a separate model as my coloured pieces are getting tired. I connected with short triangular tabs to which I added a bit of Pritt stick to make them tacky. There has to be another method of connection. I've gone this far -- will keep it up until I solve it.

In diesem Jahr wurden wieder Demonstrationen und Kundgebungen an der Air Base Ramstein durchgeführt.
In diesem Jahr wurden ergänzend ein Zufahrt zur Air Base für eine dreiviertel Stunde blockiert und erst nach dreimaliger Aufforderung durch die Polizei aufgegeben.
Stopp AIR BASE Ramstein!
Drohnen töten täglich in vielen Teilen der Welt unschuldige Zivilisten. Die U.S. Air Base in Ramstein spielt eine Schlüsselrolle bei völkerrechtswidrigen Einsätzen, ohne sie wäre der weltweite Drohnenkrieg unmöglich.
Military bases worldwide are a backbone of global warfare.
Mainly the USA have huge armed forces and warfare material in other countries, including atomic bombs.
In the meantime no other country in the world has so many foreign soldiers, family afliates and civil contractors like Germany. These people and facilities are mainly located in the greater region of Kaiserslautern.
Therefore a central part of the action days by “Stopp Air Base Ramstein” was an international congress about military bases.
The well-atended event provided important impulses that will lead to a new networking of the long-standing worldwide resistance against military bases.
This anthology contains contributions from the ongress itself, as well as other materials that illustrate the worldwide diversity of resistance.
The colonization of the Moon is the proposed establishment of permanent human communities on the Moon. Advocates of space exploration have seen settlement of the Moon as a logical step in the expansion of humanity beyond the Earth. Recent indication that water might be present in noteworthy quantities at the Lunar poles has increased interest in the Moon. Polar colonies could also avoid the problem of long Lunar nights (about 354 hours, a little more than two weeks) and take advantage of the sun continuously.
Permanent human habitation on a planetary body other than the Earth is one of science fiction's most prevalent themes. As technology has advanced, and concerns about the future of humanity on Earth have increased, the argument that space colonization is an achievable and worthwhile goal has gained momentum. Because of its proximity to Earth, the Moon has been seen as a prime candidate for the location of humanity's first permanently occupied extraterrestrial base.
A lunar outpost was an element of the George W. Bush era Vision for Space Exploration, which has been replaced with President Barack Obama's space policy. The outpost would have been an inhabited facility on the surface of the Moon. At the time it was proposed, NASA was to construct the outpost over the five years between 2019 and 2024. The United States Congress directed that the U.S. portion, "shall be designated the Neil A. Armstrong Lunar Outpost".
On December 4, 2006, NASA announced the conclusion of its Global Exploration Strategy and Lunar Architecture Study. The Lunar Architecture Study's purpose was to "define a series of lunar missions constituting NASA's Lunar campaign to fulfill the Lunar Exploration elements" of the Vision for Space Exploration. What resulted was a basic plan for a lunar outpost near one of the poles of the Moon, which would permanently house astronauts in six-month shifts. These studies were made before the discovery of water ice (5.6 ± 2.9% by mass) in a polar crater, which may substantially affect plans.
