That dreaded moment you hear the words you knew were coming.

تجي نخسر بعض مرّه ونكسر حاجز التهديد؟

 

ولاتسمع (بتخسرني )

ولا أسمع (خسرتيني )...

 

أفك القيد من إيــدك ومن إيـدي تفك القيـد

 

تحرّر مابقى منك..

وأحرر [ مابقـى ] فيني

The ice is beginning to breakup along the lake shores. This was a nice sunny day, and the sounds were incredible as thousands of pieces of ice cracked away.

 

Thanks for looking.

Captured in mid-March, the frozen ice shards form on the Milwaukee River along the Historic Third Ward. This is the a winter breakup before the spring takes over. The cooped up energy of Milwaukee really appears.

Breakups are hard ... but saying goodbye to scenes like this for another year are especially tough ;-)

There's still a lot of snow and ice around, but spring is beginning to peek through.

Not happening quite yet. There are braver people than me on the ice. Way out there is an ice fishing hut.

The Tanana River (meaning 'river trail' in Athacascan, and pronounced 'TA-na-naa') east and north of Tok has not quite let go of it's winter ice, though much of the river downstream from here to the Yukon River is running ice free.

 

As you can see by lots of tracks, this river is an important 'highway' in both summer and winter, for travel both upstream and down, to places not served by a roadway. River travel is regulated by the Dept of Transportation, in much the same way as conventional roads.

A pair of people having an emotionally charged conversation. Taken this winter - only just got around to processing.

Breakup of a vibrant rainbow.

A few minutes, and a few miles previous of "Morning Storm"

Curves adjustment and more of a square crop.

This is what a bad breakup with someone feels like.

This is taken right off Front Street in Kotzebue, the sound is breaking up and floating out to sea. It's really quite amazing to witness . . .

Doc and I had several things to do in Glennallen this morning, and marveled at how fast the warm temperatures, and stiff breezes from the south - were melting the snow.

Outside of our local bank, the usual "breakup" lake had formed. It is not only large - but pretty darned deep as well. Each spring, Doc and I refer to it as "Wells Fargo Lake".

Sadly - if the melt keeps up at its current rate - there will be massive flooding along all of our rivers. It is something most rural Alaskans think about and prepare for. You must be ready to leave your property at a moment's notice.

   

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme. You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow.

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

It is that time of year on the North Saskatchewan River. Spring breakup.

I thought the cracks made an interesting pattern. It was also interesting to see those large plates of surface ice rise and fall as the waves passed invisibly beneath them. The breakup of harbour ice is an indication that winter is finally coming to an end in Toronto. This was taken on the vernal equinox.

Madagascar (en malgache: Madagasikara; en francés: Madagascar) oficialmente República de Madagascar (en malgache: Repoblikan'i Madagasikara; en francés: République de Madagascar) es un país insular situado en el océano Índico, frente a la costa sureste del continente africano, al este de Mozambique. La nación está comprendida por la isla homónima, la más grande de África y la cuarta más grande del mundo, y por pequeñas y numerosas islas periféricas. Está separada del continente por el canal de Mozambique. A pesar de su cercanía actual al continente africano, Madagascar formaba parte en su origen del subcontinente indio, del cual se separó hace unos 88 millones de años. Por ello, su aislamiento ha favorecido la conservación en su territorio de multitud de especies únicas en el mundo, la mayoría de ellas endémicas de la isla. Las más notables son los lémures (un infraorden de primates), el fosa carnívoro, cinco familias endémicas de aves y seis especies endémicas de baobabs.

El gentilicio de Madagascar es malgache y el idioma nacional es el malgache, su segundo idioma es el francés. La mayoría de sus habitantes tiene creencias tradicionales, son cristianos, o una amalgama de ambos. Madagascar pertenece al grupo de los países menos desarrollados, según las Naciones Unidas. El ecoturismo y la agricultura, junto con mayores inversiones en educación, salud y empresa privada, son elementos clave de la estrategia de desarrollo de Madagascar. Sin embargo, estos beneficios no se distribuyeron uniformemente en toda la población, produciendo tensiones sobre el creciente costo de vida y la disminución del nivel de vida entre los pobres y algunos segmentos de la clase media. Madagascar es el nombre que los portugueses dieron a la isla en 1502 y derivaba de Madeigascar (también Madagosho, Madagascar), que era el nombre de una isla-reino africana mencionada por Marco Polo en su libro (fines del siglo XIII). Aunque algunas fuentes aseguran que este nombre surgiría de la confusión con Mogadiscio, capital de Somalia.

En cuanto al nombre malgache, con el que se denomina a sus habitantes, el término proviene del francés, tomado de Malagasy, que era el nombre que se daban los habitantes originales de la isla.

Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country lying off the southeastern coast of Africa. It is the world's fourth largest island, the second-largest island country and the 46th largest country in the world. Its capital and largest city is Antananarivo.

Madagascar consists of an eponymous main island and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from Africa during the Early Jurassic, around 180 million years ago, and split from the Indian subcontinent around 90 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation; consequently, it is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, with over 90% of wildlife being endemic. The island has a subtropical to tropical maritime climate.

Madagascar was first settled during or before the mid first millennium AD by Austronesian peoples, presumably arriving on outrigger canoes from present-day Indonesia. These were joined around the ninth century AD by Bantu migrants crossing the Mozambique Channel from East Africa. Other groups continued to settle on Madagascar over time, each one making lasting contributions to Malagasy cultural life. Subsequently, the Malagasy ethnic group is often divided into 18 or more subgroups, of which the largest are the Merina of the central highlands.

Until the late 18th century, the island of Madagascar was ruled by a fragmented assortment of shifting sociopolitical alliances. Beginning in the early 19th century, most of it was united and ruled as the Kingdom of Madagascar by a series of Merina nobles. The monarchy was ended in 1897 by the annexation by France, from which Madagascar gained independence in 1960. The country has since undergone four major constitutional periods, termed republics, and has been governed as a constitutional democracy since 1992. Following a political crisis and military coup in 2009, Madagascar underwent a protracted transition towards its fourth and current republic, with constitutional governance being restored in January 2014.

Madagascar is a member of the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Organization Internationale de la Francophonie. Malagasy and French are both official languages of the state. Christianity is the country's predominant religion, but a significant minority still practice traditional faiths. Madagascar is classified as a least developed country by the UN. Ecotourism and agriculture, paired with greater investments in education, health and private enterprise, are key elements of its development strategy. Despite substantial economic growth since the early 2000s, income disparities have widened, and quality of life remains low for the majority of the population. Madagascar is experiencing an ongoing famine, which experts argue is the first to be caused entirely by climate change.

In the Malagasy language, the island of Madagascar is called Madagasikara and its people are referred to as Malagasy. The origin of the name is uncertain, and is likely foreign, having been propagated in the Middle Ages by Europeans.

One hypothesis relates Madagascar to the word Malay, referring to the Austronesian origin of the Malagasy people in modern-day Indonesia. In a map by Muhammad al-Idrisi dating from the year 1154, the island is named Gesira Malai, or "Malay island" in Arabic. The inversion of this name to Malai Gesira, as it was known by the Greeks, is thought to be the precursor of the modern name of the island. The name "Malay island" was later rendered in Latin as Malichu, an abbreviated form of Malai Insula, in the medieval Hereford Mappa Mundi as the name of Madagascar.

Another hypothesis is that Madagascar is a corrupted transliteration of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia and an important medieval Indian Ocean port. This would have resulted from 13th-century Venetian explorer Marco Polo confusing the two locations in his memoirs, in which he mentions the land of Madageiscar to the south of Socotra. This name would then have been popularized on Renaissance maps by Europeans.

Why is it called breakup?

The term 'breakup' in Alaska, which refers to spring, is unique to the region. It stems from the process of ice literally 'breaking up' and snow melting and turning to slush. In winter, rivers freeze into solid sheets of ice, sometimes strong enough to hold vehicles. But when 'breakup' arrives, that ice melts and starts breaking away into pieces. This not only has a literal meaning but also signifies a change in lifestyle for Alaskans. It's time to 'break up' with their favorite winter activities like skiing, snowshoeing, and skating, and embrace new pastimes as the ice and snow melt.

As early as the last week of March, Alaska experiences a weather pattern unlike any other, a blend of winter and summer. However, unlike other states further south, the snow in Alaska doesn't disappear overnight. It takes its time to melt away, making way for new growth. This gradual transition, this unique blend of winter and summer, is what makes 'breakup' a more fitting term to describe this season in Alaska.
