Took photos in class tonight for cutting out and pasting into a new image - this is my first attempt!
Jennie the model was very obliging by getting into the exact position for me.
Changing colour. Panorama of the beach and scenery. Looks amazing. i made it bright, not sure why, it looked alright. Grass looks green and it makes the picture look more outstanding. Sunny day which allowed this photo to look more bright and better. Im trying to achieve a panorama, its not easy to get it perfect or all wobbly. Yes it was successful, it looks very good and shows the whole beach.
Both my wife and I are Disney fanatics (ok, more me than her) so when we were in Hong Kong we jumped at the chance to spend a day here.
We got to the park by taking the train from Kowloon and changing to the Disney Express which drops you off at the gate, this train is themed with Mickey shaped windows and hand holds, as well as minature statues of the characters in the carriages.
The first thing that hits you when you enter the park and look down main street is just how small the castle is, it looks like the one from California, which in my opinion is not as 'magical' (impressive) as the others around the world and gets overwhelmed by the sourounding hillside.
We first entered Adventure Land to the left hand side and went on the Jungle Cruise, which unlike the others around the world uses pyrotechnics in its finale, but I did find it a bit short.
We then took a raft over to Tarzans treehouse, which if I am honest is just like the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse at WDW with the exception of a few added monkeys.
Next we went to Fantasyland and sat in on PhilharMagic which, again is the same as the WDW version. Followed by Winnie the Pooh, the Carousel, Dumbo and the Golden Mickeys which is a mock awards show featuring all your favourite characters.
We had lunch in one of the many restaurants, and had some noodles with dim sum.
We then headed back over to Adventureland to 'the festival of the lion king', this again is based on the one from Disney's Animal Kingdom at WDW, but featured less acrobatics.
Then it was over to the last section of the park, Futureland where we went on Space Mountain (our favourite ride in the park) and Buzz Lightyear.
We watched the parade at 3.00 but it was quite difficult to stand for such a long time in the blistering heat, strong sunlight and very high humidity.
We then went on space mountain a few more times, before wandering around the park suvenire shopping and having our pictures taken with the various characters before the fireworks started at 8.00.
Overall it was a good day out but the park was severly lacking a number of big rides (haunted manision, big thunder mountain railroad, splash mountain, etc) and this was really noticeable as the park did not keep you entertained for the whole day, which is what I belive any good park should.
But if you are in Hong Kong and a fan of the mouse then I would recommend going here.

Leaves are starting to change colors at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL. I wonder why the trees to your right decided to change ahead of the other row.

I was fortunate enough to make a couple of bitter-sweet return trips on the Woodhead Route in its last week of passenger operation in Dec 1969. Breaking my journey each way at Penistone to maximise the experience, I had Tommies for haulage and a 37 (we called them “EE3s” back then) on the Harwich Boat Train. 20 years later in 1989, I took my son to see the remains of the Woodhead at Penistone and stand on the spot beside where I had captured a Tommy on a coal train all those years earlier.
The last time I passed here about 10-15 years ago, large trees and shrubs had overgrown the whole area making a meaningful photo not possible at that time, although Google Maps suggests that the westbound platform may have been cleared of vegetation.
Penistone still provides for the Huddersfield to Sheffield (Midland} service today.

TA soldiers on Exercise ROMAN STAR in Italy
TA soldiers from 4 YORKS are in Italy learning how to adapt to the changing nature of conflict. As the Army looks to draw down its forces in Afghanistan and retrain to combat the new security threats facing the world, training is changing to reflect the new demands. The new training exercise with the Italian Army, known as Ex ROMAN STAR, follows this month's Government announcement on troop reductions and a greater reliance on reserve soldiers to integrate with the regular Army. It is the first of a series of new overseas exercises for the reserves who will need to increase their numbers to meet the demands of the Army 2020 structure
Reservists from 4 YORKS are the first to undertake the exercise which trains them to prepare for and execute an attack on a property occupied by enemy forces. The attack includes a helicopter assault with the Italian Army providing the air assets. Building up to this, the troops will learn how to combine conventional warfare and close quarter combat with modern assault techniques, some of which have been developed during operations in Afghanistan; Crown copyright.

Two-Fisted Tales
By Michael Vance
You can’t go home again. What was revolutionary in 1951 is not today because the revolution succeeded. Risqué then, even Marilyn Monroe seems innocent now.
“Two-Fisted Tales” and EC Comics changed comic books forever. In 1951, they were startling; they set a new standard. That standard was adopted, and has now been surpassed many times.
Well, not entirely. The early issues of “Mad” magazine remain unequaled. Certain stories from “Tales from the Crypt”, “Weird Science” and other EC Comics are still classics. But the first issues of “Two-Fisted Tales” now being reprinted seem … tame.
An anthology comic, each issue featured four stories. In the second issue, five artists are represented that all became legends.
John Severin and Bill Elder’s “War Story” is set in the Korean War. “Jivaro Death!” by Harvey Kurtzman takes place on the Amazon River. Both use twist endings that were typical of EC, but atypical of Kurtzman’s later work.
Johnny Craig’s “Flight From Danger” travels to Germany during WWII. Aboard an 18th century ship, Wally Wood spins the tale of a man’s impression into the British navy in “Brutal Capt. Bull”. Craig’s tale of the attempted flight of a scientist to America and Wood’s adventure both fall short of the heights these artists were to reach.
But in ’51, they must have seemed as wild as Monroe.
They lack the sophistication of later “Two-Fisted Tales” stories because most ‘50s comics lacked the maturity that this title and other ECs would eventually inspire. In their day, EC would inevitably become so controversial that they helped trigger the near death of the entire industry under the pink eye of Senator Joseph McCarthy!
Genius has to start somewhere. Alas, genius never stands unchallenged. But don’t save your pennies for later, more innovative issues, or the complete series will never see the light of day. And, at one time, it was the light of day.

Photo showing the LINZ CHANGES pavilion from top of a Ferris Wheel.
The setting of the LINZ CHANGES presentation of Linz is a 20×37-meter pavilion, a striking venue designed by ANY:TIME. On the exterior, a 6½-meter-tall cube is completely surrounded by a strip of artificial turf, a green band meant to symbolize the successful environmental protection measures that have so tremendously enhanced the quality of life in Linz. On both sides of the entrance, this façade seems to have been rolled away to open up a view of the mirrored metal interior. This material transition from green artificial turf to polished metal alludes to the numerous layers on which the so-called “Linz System” is based. Plus, it reflects each individual visitor, who thus becomes a part of the whole.

Dear Water-Protectors and friends,
As organizer of the NoDAPL Solidarity Event in Vienna I am reaching out to you to report about the event and to send you some pictures of it (attached in the appendix) …here the Facebook event where you find even more pics and videos: www.facebook.com/events/1782578492009468/
Description:
On November 15th from 5 to 7.30pm more than 60 people gathered in front of the US Consulate in Vienna at Theodor-Herzl Platz. Via speakerboxes and microphone I gave a short introduction about the issues at stake for indigenous peoples when faced with the invasive and ignorant (neocolonial) character of extractive industry enterprises, (as can be seen in ND by them building through holy lands and threatening major water sources without free prior consent or consult with people affected according to the UNDRIP) and appealed to the US to engage critically with their history of state formation based on genocide and suppression of Indigenous Peoples (IP) and their cultures and to #HonotTheTreaties and respecting IP sovereign rights for self-determination in their doings and beings. Also I pointed at the numerous negative environmental Impacts of the Pipeline, (also referring to the missing Environmental Impact Assessment of the pipeline) and emphasized how the concept of interrelatedness of all existence found in indigenous ontologies can help us as humans to see beyond the borders of our socialized selves and reestablish a respectful and harmonious relational dynamic with the life-giving nature around us - #noDAPL because #WaterIsLife.
Many others took also the chance to speak about the injustices, police brutality and human rights violations happening in ND, including Peter Schwarzbauer, a spokesman of Arbeitskreis Indianer Nordamerikas (AKIN - a human rights watch specializing on indigenous proples’ struggles, challenges and concerns), Michael Fenz, a representative of the austrian „Idle no more“ Support Group and Roy E. Pete, a Navajo, who also performed a prayer song for the Water-Protectors at the construction sites in ND.
We repeatedly chanted the paroles:
- You can’t drink oil, keep it in the soil
- Water Is Life
- No triumphs for Trump in Standing Rock
Also a lifestream was filmed, lots of pictures were taken and posted on Facebook during or after the event the next day under the following hashtags:

Apart from that there was a lot of drumming, singing and discussion going on as people got together, interconnecting and talking about shared values and the struggle.
Also WienTV.org a Viennese TV channel made, posted and screened a 7 minute video of the event. Here a link to watch it (it’s in german):
