This is our second beta fish. Legolas quickly replaced Gandalf the Blue after James forgot to transfer him from a temporary bowl after cleaning his tank. We figure he jumped out of the bown (which they are very known to do), and a cat ate him.
Gandalf was never seen again.

A short-lived operator in Glasgow, Beta Buses ran a sightseeing tour using a fleet of unreliable DMS Fleetlines bought from Big Bus Company, London. Big Bus had used the Fleetlines as static ticket stalls, so stop-start was beyond them. A B20 version loads in George Square.
A REPUTATION takes years to build and seconds to destroy. This is certainly the case for Lancia with the Beta. This was the car that tarnished the reputation of its maker.
In 1969, Lancia was bought out by Fiat. Some die-hard fans of the Italian marque would say that it was the beginning of the end. It wasn’t until 1972, when a new Lancia came along with the Beta since Fiat's takeover.
Lancia offered the Beta with a wide range of models and bodystyles. With the Berlina (fastback saloon, pictured), HPE (High Performance Estate to rival the Reliant Scimitar), Trevi (three box saloon), Coupe, Spyder (convertible) and Montecarlo (mid-engined sports car).
Contrary to the belief from some Lancia purists, they believed the Beta was a "Fiat and not a Lancia". This all lies within the fact that all Betas were powered by Fiat's engines. But despite that, the Beta was mostly Lancia's own work in the development of the car. Not only that, the name "Beta" continues Lancia's well-known tradition, of naming their cars after letters in the Greek alphabet.
It was also an advanced car when new. The whole Beta range were powered by lively twin-cam engines, shifted through five-speed gearboxes, had rack and pinion steering; disc brakes all round (front and rear) and rode on fully independent suspension, with MacPhearson struts front and rear.
The Beta got positive reviews from the motoring press. Many rated them on being a great driver's car. With excellent handling and roadholding, and the lively performance from the willing and sure footed twin-cam engines. It became Lancia's best seller.
The rot sets in...
Despite the complementary reviews the Beta got from the motoring press, and being Lancia's best seller. Betas suffered from quality issues that got Lancia in deep trouble.
The water drainage channels and the subframes on the Beta's engine mounts, were very vulnerable to rust. There was little or no protection on them against the tinworm. Not only that, Lancia used poor quality steel on the body panels of the cars. They were just as bad for rusting as the engine mounts and the water drainage channels.
The trouble with rust on the Betas became a huge scale problem in the UK. It even made the headlines with the severe rust problems, that escalated to being a major scandal Lancia got caught in. Major recalls were made to owners on their cars by Lancia. The cars were inspected for rust. If there was any corrosion on the vehicles, they were taken back and scrapped.
Lancia were keen to protect its image and reputation in the UK, as it was their largest export market. They made generous compensation offers to owners whose Betas were affected. By either offering with them to part exchange their cars, for a new Lancia or Fiat. Another option was to buy back their cars. Prior to that, Lancia also offered six year anti-corrosion warranties on their new cars.
But the damage was done, and Lancia never recovered from the rust scandal. Lancia gained a reputation of rust and frailty - something that generally lingers on Italian cars to this present day. The sales of their cars in Britain plummeted in later years. It lead to the inevitable happening in 1994, when Lancia pulled out of the British market.
Beta Three is the second generation of robots capable of AHE or Artificial Human Emotion. The Alpha Two was the first to use it but the hardware was flawed. As AHE evolved into a more advanced pieces of software, the robot needed to be upgraded to be able to run it. This new robot has a head that has artificial muscles integrated into it for more complex emotions. If the muscles dry out they become very brittle and must be replaced. To keep the muscles wet, the entire head is surrounded by a jar-like helmet filled with a special chemical solution. The body of the robot has also been upgraded to be lighter and easier to repair.
Beta Travel of Worthing DAF MB200 Duple Caribbean 2 TIA 8848 is seen in Brighton on 14th July, 2001. It had been new to Globe of Barnsley as C794 GHD and was acquired from Christie, Tillicoultry, in 1990.
check out this scan. The only thing that still stand here is the old McDonald's sign. I think that bank building that reads "Pacific" in the background is still up as well.

Chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla), also known by the common names Swiss Chard, Silverbeet, Perpetual Spinach, Crab Beet, Seakale Beet and Mangold, is a vegetable and a Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima. While the leaves are eaten, it is in the same species as the garden beet (beetroot), which is grown primarily for its edible roots.
The word Swiss was used to distinguish chard from French spinach varieties by nineteenth century seed catalog publishers. The chard is very popular among Mediterranean cooks. The first varieties have been traced back to Sicily.
Chard can be harvested while the leaves are young and tender or after maturity when they are larger and have slightly tougher stems. Chard is extremely perishable.
Chard has shiny green ribbed leaves, with stems that range from white to yellow and red depending on the cultivar. It has a slightly bitter taste. Fresh young chard can be used raw in salads. Mature chard leaves and stalks are typically cooked or sauteed; the bitter flavor fades with cooking.
Cultivars of chard include green forms, such as 'Lucullus' and 'Fordhook Giant', as well as red-ribbed forms such as 'Ruby Chard', 'Rainbow Chard', and 'Rhubarb Chard'.
Chard and the other beets are chenopods, a group which is either its own family Chenopodiaceae or a subfamily within the Amaranthaceae.
Chard is used in a variety of cultures around the world.
HelWin Beta HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) ready for transport. This thing is HUGE: 10.200 tonnes, 98 x 48 x 27 [m3]. The platform will connect a large wind farm cluster in the German sector of the North Sea. It will receive alternating current from wind farms, and convert it into direct current before transporting it onshore via subsea cables.
