Thunder On the Ohio. I saw a big lens and went to meet it after the show was over. I had seen some of "StentDocs" photos online. I'd remembered the unusual handle. Great to meet a fellow FlickR photographer who is so skilled and see them in action. He was joined by his significant other whose name I didn't catch. I see another enthusiast in the background of this photo. If you know you, you can tag him!

The Niihau Incident
This is one display of many of the Niihau Incident in the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum about the Niihau Incident, low resolution picture is attached.
For many years I have been aware of the WWII Niihau Incident (a special Hawaiian Island), quoted from Wikipedia and this URL: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niihau_incident
The Japanese pilot then sought and received the assistance of the three residents of Japanese descent on the island in overcoming his captors, finding weapons, and taking several hostages. Eventually, Nishikaichi was killed by Niihauans Benehakaka "Ben" Kanahele and his wife Kealoha "Ella" Kanahele;[1] Ben Kanahele was wounded in the process, and one of Nishikaichi's supporters, Yoshio Harada, committed suicide.
The EBRD is committed to supporting the Green Energy Transition in its countries of operations. As more variable renewable energy sources are incorporated into the generation mix, new solutions are needed to ensure the stability of the electricity grid and the provision of reliable, high quality electricity supply. Additionally, the rise of distributed, consumer-led energy generation models may increase demand for solutions that decrease end users’ reliance on a centralized grid. Energy storage is likely to play a key role in providing such solutions to grid operators, generators and consumers alike.
This event brought together stakeholders from the private, public and financial sector to discuss the future of energy storage and its role in creating resilient, green economies. The panel explored the potential disruptive effect of storage on the energy industry, and how businesses and governments can contribute to and benefit from investment in energy storage solutions.

Chris Kelly (Dudley South) (Con):
Jihadi crimes committed in the name of the Islamic State are completely incompatible with the British way of life, so I welcome the plans announced by my right hon. Friend to seize British passports from dual nationals, and to remove rights of residency in the UK from foreign nationals known to have been fighting with ISIL in Iraq and Syria, in order to keep such people from committing terrorist atrocities in the UK. What progress have the Government made concerning jihadis with only British citizenship, whom my constituents believe have forfeited their right to return to the UK, even though they may be rendered stateless if deprived of citizenship?
The Prime Minister:
First, I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for his great work representing the people of Dudley South for the past four years and all the work he has done. He is absolutely right that people in Dudley South—indeed, people across our country—take the basic view that if someone leaves this country, travels to the heart of Iraq, declares they are in favour of some so-called Islamic state, and that is the country they want to be part of, they should effectively forfeit their right to come back and live in Britain. That is what people feel, and they feel it deeply, which is why it is right to consider how we can have legal powers not just to strip dual nationals of their British citizenship or to exclude foreign nationals, but to prevent British citizens who make those statements from coming back to our country.

Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), met with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and several other global leaders during the BRICS+ Summit held in Brazil on July 7, 2025.
The BRICS+ group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, represents a powerful coalition of emerging economies. Originally formed as "BRIC" in 2009, the group expanded to include South Africa in 2011 and has continued to grow, reaching ten member countries by 2025. Together, BRICS+ countries account for nearly half of the world’s population and 35% of the global GDP.
The summit focused on deepening economic cooperation, promoting the use of the Chinese yuan in international trade, and discussing the potential creation of a common currency to strengthen financial independence from the US dollar.
This gathering brought together influential leaders committed to shaping a more balanced global economic order.

I committed most of them in some way as I lolled around one Sunday afternoon, pouring over old design mags and lusting after all the beautiful things.
School history
Mary Ward (1585-1645), the founder of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her time was far ahead. She was especially committed to allow girls, too, an education. Therefore, it was her goal to build as many schools as possible.
1724 acquired the Order a building on the High market in Krems. After some renovation work the teaching on 27th August 1725 with 2 classes could be started.
Origin and religious affiliation played no role in the admission. The number of students increased steadily, so that from the institute in Sankt Pölten female teachers had got to come to Krems, in 1870 already teaching 5 classes in reading, writing, arithmetic, religion, singing and handicrafts.
The establishment of the private teachers (female ones) training college in 1892, in which six years later the first graduation (Matura - Austrian school-leaving certificate guaranteeing access to higher education) at Hoher Markt took place, the influx of educational willing girls let grow enormously. Thus, in 1898 the neighboring house was purchased and a gym and 3 new classes could be added.
In addition to the opening of the kindergarten in 1920, the emergence of the establishment of the Institute of Economics (school for domestic science) shows the importance of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary as an important educational institution for the city of Krems.
During Second World War the English Ladies school and educational activity was prohibited and the buildings were expropriated. After the return of the institute building at the Hoher Markt the school operation immediately could be started again.
From 1953 boys also attended the elementary school. At the secondary school only with the school year 2013/14 boys are admitted.
After the establishment of the Pedagogical Academy in Krems, the teacher education institution was converted into the Musical Pedagocial Grammar School (since 1976 ORG - Oberrealgymnasium).
Over the years, taught more and more secular teachers (male and female ones). The building today houses on the High Market 1 the private primary school with 8 classes, the private junior high school with nine classes and the private secondary school with 8 classes. In 2000, the Schulträgerschaft (means the establishment of a school, maintenance of the building, responsibility for operating costs, the acquisition) the association of religious schools in Austria was handed over and in September 2011 the school center on the high market after its founder in "Mary Ward Schools" renamed.
This tradition-steeped Kremser Institution enjoys since generations until today great popularity.
Mary Ward with her saying sets the motto for the daily work in our house:
"This corresponds to the truth that to perform well what we have got to do".

As part of a continued partnership between University of Iowa Health Care STEM Education programs and Workplace Learning Connection, 16 students from various high schools in the area visited the UI Health Sciences campus to participate in a Junior Mini Medical School experience. The students engaged in a performance-based assessment session where they got to be the doctors to figure out the diagnosis of their patients and learn basic physcial exam skills. Finally, the students visited with current medical students in an anatomy overview where they learned about the heart, lungs and brain and had an open discussion about medical school.
University of Iowa Health Care is committed partners with formal and informal educators and community organizations across the state to advance STEM literacy to inspire the next generation of health care professionals and build a foundation for children to understanding their own health. In FY2015, more than 16,000 school age children were engaged in hands on learning provided by 260 faculty, staff and students.

The Women's Dinner Party a benefit for Fenway Health.

Personally committed to economic justice and equality, and to health equality for women and families throughout Boston and the Commonwealth, she has served as CEO for 16 years, during which time Boston Community Capital has invested in child care facilities serving nearly 10,000 children and health care facilities providing care to over 66,000 patients.
For those people who committed a criminal act, be it shoplifting, breaking and entering, etc, THIS is one place that they would have seen the inside of...the charge office at Rice Lane nick.
Indeed, the place would have echoed with the sound of earthy language from both prisoner and officer alike...especially the phrase "turn yer pockets out!"
Unlike the city that gave us the first computer and Belle Vue (I'm talking about Manchester of course) Liverpool doesn't HAVE a police museum and this would be the perfect place for it (either that or Westminster Road) but I think that Copperas Hill would be the ideal venue because, unlike Rice Lane, it has somewhere to park the odd old police vehicle or two.
Nobody may like the police on Merseyside (or perhaps that's a generalisation) but policing has just as big a part to play in our local history as education and public health.
Anyway, this is a close up of entrance to something that no-one wanted to see the inside of...the charge office.
The band committed the inexcusable faux pas of helping themselves at the buffet after being told 'help yourselves' by the person who booked us...a stony confrontation between the lady whose 40th wedding anniversary bash was being held and the band ensued after we were shown the meagre helpings that had been plated up for us and which we hadn't been told about. Good job Pete wasn't with us as he's vegetarian...I don't think he'd have appreciated being given a slice of ham.
This is one of the downsides to playing such events - you travel two and a half bloody hours or so to a gig with a get-in time of 4.30 with no chance to grab a bite at teatime because of the gig timing and venue (The Village Hall, Arse End Of Nowhere, Wilts) and when you do get fed it's as if people think the band doesn't get hungry.
It's bloody irritating and it's bloody rude too.
On the other hand at many gigs like this you do get to meet some really nice people who treat you like one of the guests - ie with kindness and respect.
If anyone reading this was there, I really don't give a flying one - maybe you can tell the lady in question to be a little more generous in future.
You'd think after 40 years of marriage she'd have become a little less uptight.... she's the one with the red balloon by the way.

A commemorative monument unveiled in Kelowna recognizes the contributions of Chinese-Canadians to BC’s rich cultural, historical and economic mosaic.
A large granite monument has been installed within the pioneer section of the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery to reflect the 2014 apology delivered on behalf of the BC legislative assembly to Chinese-Canadians for historical wrongs committed by past provincial governments.

One of the first Canadian women who enlisted into the Royal Canadian Air Force committed suicide less than a year later.
miniHazelTen days after her 29th birthday, Hazel Winnifred Webb Seymour left a steady job with the Bell Telephone Company of Canada to enlist in the Canadian Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. The unit operated under the motto: “we serve that men may fly.”
Ten months later, she swallowed three bottles of cleansers (iodine, cresol and carbolic acid) while in the hospital for hysteria. She died on September 10, 1942.
When she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Webb Seymour seemed like the perfect candidate. She was healthy, high-school educated, the right age and height, and well-trained in administrative duties. She was married, and had been for seven years, but the couple had no children as he was deployed overseas.
Her early days in the Air Force reinforced her aptitude for the job. One test resulted in the comment:
“One of the best on the course – always cheerful and will make a wonderfully reliable and good N.C.O. Suitable for a difficult station.”
An “assessment of character” completed in March 1942 also contained high praise: “industrious, capable, willing worker,” “highly resourceful,” and “merits accelerated promotion.”
Four months later, Seymour was admitted to the Station Hospital with something so serious, she stayed for eight days. From then on, she went in and out of hospitals, both civilian and military, until her suicide.
During an inquest about her death, Flight Lieutenant Allan Campbell Blair described what happened in the final three days of her life.
“It was considered that before she should be discharged on the grounds of this nervous disorder that it would be worthwhile to give her another chance and to this end was admitted to Station Hospital again to be kept under observation and the be employed doing small jobs about the hospital which was thought might be of benefit to her. She was apparently responding and there was, in my opinion, no need to restrict her freedom about the hospital. There was no evidence or intentions from her that she was planning self destruction. On September 10, at 1205 hours as Dr. Williams and myself were leaving the hospital we encountered her in the hall holding an iodine soaked stained towel to her mouth and she stated that she had just drunk three bottles of poison….”[1]
After she died, her mother wrote to the military needing help.
“The funeral refund has not been sent to me and I really need that amount to help with my winters’ coal, if I can get any.”[2]
Despite those pleas, the only cheque to the family reimbursed $154.16 they paid for Webb Seymour’s funeral.
The University of Texas at Austin and the Embassy of France have committed to an agreement to establish an endowment to support research collaborations and strengthen academic cooperation between UT Austin and France.
“Global engagement is an essential component of The University of Texas at Austin’s educational and research missions,” said UT Austin President Gregory L. Fenves. “This partnership will strengthen the important relationship between Texas and France and benefit citizens in both nations.”
The Dr. Cécile Dewitt-Morette France-UT Endowed Excellence Fund will solidify the commitment between France and UT Austin to support scholarship that will lead to generations of joint discoveries and deepen the historical ties between the people of France and Texas.
“The Embassy of France is committed to encouraging sustainable cooperation between French and American universities to foster new discoveries as well as students’ and researchers’ mobility,” said Gérard Araud, ambassador of France to the United States. “This new France-University of Texas at Austin program, named for the famous physicist Cécile DeWitt-Morette, will open new perspectives of cooperation in all fields of science and humanities.”
The endowment will honor the life and work of the late mathematician, physicist and UT Austin professor Cécile DeWitt-Morette, who was born and educated in France. A recipient of the French Legion of Honor, DeWitt-Morette leaves a trans-Atlantic legacy as a researcher, educator and champion for improving global science relations. During her storied career, she held the Jane and Roland Blumberg Centennial Professor Emerita in Physics at UT Austin and founded L’École de Physique des Houches, a school that has produced more than 25 winners of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
apparently, not Goethe, after all, but William Hutchinson Murray (1913-1996), from his 1951 book entitled The Scottish Himalayan Expedition.
