A U.S. Air Force joint-terminal attack controller, with Special Operations Task Force - South, communicates with supporting aircraft via radio during the early morning hours of an operation to impede insurgent activity in northern Khakrez District, Mar. 12, 2011, in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The joint operation, led by the Afghan National Army's 3rd Commando Kandak, yielded 80lbs of homemade explosives, two 107mm rockets, as well as quantities of small arms and ammunitions. Also on the operation was the Khakrez District Chief of Police, Mullah Gul. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Daniel P. Shook)(Released).
Don was part of a Morris Dance troupe that performed for the solstice celebration. As you can probably tell from his devilish grin, he was a hoot to talk to as he explained the traditions behind the dances. His role, that evening, was the fool and here's how wikipedia describes his duties:
"A fool will usually be extravagantly dressed, and communicate directly with the audience in speech or mime. The fool will often dance around and even through a dance without appearing really to be a part of it, but it takes a talented dancer to pull off such fooling while actually adding to and not distracting from the main dance set."

The posh guests were out early (or never went in :>) talking on their cell phones and except only one is holding a cell phone, they could have been texting each other as that seems to be common in the same space these days! Their postures and attire are a type of communicating as well -
Orientation Island is soon to be a thing of the past, with Help Island taking a more prominent role in the new user experience. I decided to take some pictures to preserve the historical record.

My Emotional Prison
Throughout my life I had always felt alone, different. I struggled to understand and communicate with others; constantly being told I wasn't listening, I don't try hard enough, I am stupid. In actual fact I was trying harder than everyone else. I knew the answers (once I could understand the questions) but organising my thoughts and ideas in order to articulate them was extremely difficult.
My time at school was an immense struggle. In order to do well I realised that I would have to teach myself. My efforts were not in vain and I got myself into all the top sets but I was living with a constant conflict of emotions; struggling to understand why I was different to everyone else and why I felt so alone.
In 2010, after 15 years in the education system, I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia. The relief washed over me; I finally understood.
Whilst I may struggle to communicate verbally I find the ability to communicate using a visual language is as natural to me as speaking is to others. I have now fully embraced what I see as my gift of creativity, I love it! It makes me who I am today and gives me this wonderful imagination where I can express myself naturally, freely and easily.
This body of work is created through the gifts of my dyslexia and explores the place I existed before my diagnosis: my emotional prison

The Mt. Igueldo Funicular was built to communicate the city of Donostia with the top of this mountain, play area for its citizens, where there is also an amusement park. Among the lower station in the Plaza del Funicular, a few meters from the beach of La Concha, and the upper station in the amusement park, the line has a length of 312 m, saves a height difference of 151 m, in a completely straight path with minimal ramp of 32% and a maximum ramp of 58% and a central siding. His two cars, which are the same as when the line opened in 1912, have metal frame and wooden box and roll on a metric gauge track with triangular head rails.

El Funicular del monte Igueldo fue construido para comunicar la ciudad de Donostia con la cima de este monte, zona lúdica para sus ciudadanos, donde además existe un parque de atracciones. Entre la estación inferior en la Plaza del Funicular, a pocos metros de la playa de La Concha, y la superior en el parque de atracciones, la línea tiene una longitud de 312 m, salva un desnivel de 151 m, en un trazado completamente recto con una rampa mínima del 32% y una máxima del 58% y un punto de cruce central. Sus dos coches, que son los mismos de cuando se inauguró la línea en 1912, tienen bastidor metálico y caja de madera y ruedan sobre una vía de ancho métrico con carriles de cabeza triangular.

It's really quite sad that the companies that created these so beautiful and beautifully engineered machines have gone out of business.

They are part of a dispaly on the history of the development of amateur radios, transmitters and transceivers.
The National Radio Centre, operated by the Radio Society of Great Britain, in partnership with the Bletchley Park Trust, is an exhibition tracing the development of radio communications from inception through to the current day. Admission to The National Radio Centre is included in the price of admission to Bletchley Park although, as it is manned by volunteers, it is not always open to the public.
"...Is a failure to communicate." Two postings on Mao'er Hutong clearly stating in pictures, "no cars allowed," yet there are cars down the way.
Mao'er Hutong is one of the hutongs connected by Nanluoguxiang.
Beijing’s hutongs are essentially what make up the social fabric of anyone outside of the royal family throughout Chinese history (or, at the very least, the last millennium). The hutongs are more associated with northern China than southern China. The word itself, according to Wikipedia, is of Mongolian origin and means “town.”
As the Forbidden City was the center of Chinese politics, it’s pretty logical that the hutongs nearest the palace were reserved for the upper class, aristocrats, or higher level military personnel. The farther away one was from the palace, the lower the person’s social status.
So what, exactly, is a hutong? It’s essentially an alley (or narrow street, at best) with residential courtyards built side-by-side. Almost all hutongs were built along an east-west axis with the courtyard entrances facing south as this allowed optimal light into the homes. There were north-south lanes (such as Nanluoguxiang) built to connect various hutongs in a neighborhood.
As dynastic rule came to a close in the early 20th century, the hutong culture was drastically affected. With the fall of the dynasty, China politically fell into years of instability. Between 1911 and 1949, China was under various states of rule (I use this term loosely) or occupation by the Japanese. With the decline of a strong, central power, the social fabric of the hutongs began to unravel. As new hutongs were built outside of the old city, they didn’t follow the same rigid structure as the existing hutongs. Additionally, the existing hutongs began to lose their “neatness” and slowly became less and less attractive.
In 1949, with the rise of Communist government in China, there was once again a strong, central force, but with the difference that they tended to look at most things of the past (especially those associated with dynastic China) as “backwards.” Where hutongs once existed, they were slowly torn down and replaced with wide streets and boulevards, or with high rise buildings. This continued for about four decades until, in recent years, the government began to put certain hutong districts under protective status.
As a result, what we find nowadays in Beijing is certain neighborhoods making a comeback, but also cashing in on their “historical” status as hutongs and the result is what I would call “modernization with fake history.” Some hutongs are undergoing an urban renaissance in that they are opening up trendy bars, boutiques, or restaurants to attract visitors. Nanluoguxiang is probably the best example of this.
Nanluoguxiang is a hutong (really, one of the north-south lanes connecting about 16 hutongs) in the Dongcheng district. Its current length is about 800 meters (so, every 100 meters or so, 2 hutongs branch off perpendicularly) that runs from Gulou Dong Jie in the north to Di’anmen Dong Dajie in the south. (Quite soon, a new subway station – Nanluoguxiang station – will be opening at the south entrance that is a transfer station for lines 6 and 8 of the Beijing metro.) Historically, Nanlouguxiang was about twice as long as it used to extend past Gulou Dong Jie in the north up to the old city wall at Andingmen. Nanluoguxiang was originally built during the Yuan Dynasty (1267 A.D.) and received its current name during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
I was chasing a half-inch ant around on the bark of a tree. He wasn't going all that fast, so I was hoping to get him in focus when he next paused. Then I got lucky, as he met a colleague coming the other way. Whilst they exchanged information, I jumped at my opportunity.
The display reads:
M1917 Field Telephone
Field telephones were heavily used by forward observers to communicate their target and fire adjustment information to the battery. This telephone was made by Kellogg Switchboard & Supply in 1917.

Occasionally this worked. I would leave the notepad by her bedside. When she saw the message repeatedly, some of it would sink in. Other times she would tear off the sheet, stuff it in her purse, and forget about it.
On this day, she had a good appetite and ate most of her lunch, then went down for a nap before dinner. She was disoriented, though, asking random questions like, "Weren't we going to... that place? Where the man was up on the roof? And we were outside."
Since she had no memory of the doctor's visit, my words must have seemed like nonsense as well.

I often regret about the things I said soon after words fly out of my mouth. I'm not a great communicator and I never been great at explaining myself and what I was thinking when I said something. I often stuck and couldn't find the word to explain what I just said, then I stayed silent and it caused misunderstanding to the other person. this is bad and it leaves me with a miserable feeling for days, weeks, months, years, until I can find an opportunity to correct myself. Sadly, most of the times I won't be able to.
