If there’s one company in Australia with heaps of dino compactors, that company will be Suez, or SITA as I wish they were still known. Maybe in the past the company had more dino work on a national scale, but the high majority is now subject to their Sydney operations, with most of their bulk bin trucks indeed dino roll-offs. I’m sure the company has a good couple hundred open top containers, compactor containers and integrated units in Sydney, a lot of which appear to be young or freshened up. However, a few years ago I came across one of their older pieces of equipment outside their Wetherill Park transfer station, just sitting on the road unattended while its transporter was somewhere else. I love seeing a compactor just sitting on the road out from a dock, especially at night in the Sydney CBD haha It’s not often you would find a compactor of this capacity being used for garbage, so I think it’s safe to say this is a dry waste container or more likely one for paper and cardboard. You can tell this one is an oldie, with very faded paint and signage, plenty of scratches and a decent amount of rust. You can see the front of the container has been punched inwards... a result of the many times this steel box has been pushed into its resting position by the bail hook and frame. I reckon the “No Parking Day Or Night” signs should feature an additional “Offending Vehicles Will Be Towed” - not hard to do with the truck!

Done for Arch's challenge #23: urban sniper.
"The UCS was designed for Frontline Security due to the request of a sniper rifle that could be used in urban combats. Its charging mechanism is an update of the XV factory: Every time the bolt goes back, the shell is moved with it and ejected from behind in the side of the weapon. Thanks to the modular parts, can be updated as a sniper or a assault rifle. Purchase today and regret never!"

From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.

I am very intrigued by small space design, and while I don't really want a galley kitchen I like seeing how things are arranged to make the best use of space. I like the heavy moldings and the glass front cabinets.
Why cant these camera manufacturer's produce a Owners Manual that not only names the buttons, levers & dials but actually tells you what each of them does and why you would want to use them in the first place, some of us are NOT techies or Rocket Scientists.

I obtained this image by compacting data collected during technical tests carried out last winter, exclusively with 135 and 200mm telephoto lenses.
After decades of investigations, there are still those who claim that the cirrus clouds in the Pleiades are remnants of their formation. How true will it be?
About 135 pc distant and with an estimated age of 130 ±20 Myr (Barrado y Navascués et al. 2004), M45 is certainly a young-than-average open cluster, but not as young as believed.
The higher mass members are: Alcyone, Electra, Atlas, Maia, Merope, Taygeta, Pleione and Celeno. Some of them are stars of class Be, however under 8 solar masses. It must be said, however, that some are binary and multiple systems, therefore the real masses of the individual components could be lower [A&A 425, L45-L48 (2004)]. The group mainly contains stars of class A and F, therefore between about 1 and 2.5 solar masses. Clearly there are red dwarfs and substellar objects such as numerous brown dwarfs.
Taking into account the estimated age, all stars with masses greater than 8 times the sun have already exploded as supernovae millions of years ago.
Some of the brightest stars are now in the process of evolving into red giants and some have already done so, as some massive white dwarfs have been discovered.
If we had observed the Pleiades a few million years ago, we would have seen a nice mix of white stars and red giants, as in some younger OCs.
Regardless, M45 could not have remnants of the original cloud since they usually last only a few million years before being swept away by the radiation pressure exerted by the most massive stars.
Those clouds, which many believe to be remnants of the original hydrogen cloud, are instead cirrus clouds belonging to the larger Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC-1) that the cluster is now passing through. That cluster and cloud are not correlated can be seen from their reciprocal, almost opposing motions (Steven J. Gibson and Kenneth H. Nordsieck 2003 ApJ 589 362)
The Pleiades are moving towards the constellation of Orion and will still resist another 250 million years before completely disintegrating under the effects of the tidal forces exerted by the Milky Way.
Cirrus clouds only scatter the light of nearby stars.

Wan Tsui Estate (traditional Chinese: 環翠邨) is a public estate located at a part of former Chai Wan Estate and opposite to Chai Wan Station. It now has 11 residential buildings completed between 1979 and 2001.
環翠邨（Wan Tsui Estate）是香港島上的一個公共屋邨，位於香港東區柴灣，港鐵柴灣站現址附近一帶，前身為柴灣邨16至22座，第一座重建後的大廈於1979年落成後，房委會便將柴灣邨16至22座重新命名為環翠邨。
