'Condition of subject is problematic. In addition to the fractures and lacerations sustained on impact after her VTOL was shot down - Which I'd like to be on record as saying was idiotic and irresponsable - she also has 3rd tier burns on the majority of her body from the burning fuel leaking from ruptured fuel tanks. I recommend that the Arulan Cartel is immediately reprimanded for this. That this rare chance at NATO intel could be handled so indelicately is beyond infuriating, it's insanity. How can South America ever achieve independance with people such as this heading our operations?
On the rare occasion we bring the subject back up from her sedative induced sleep, she constantly mutters the word 'Morrow'. I do not know to what this refers to. Tomorrow? It is difficult to say.'

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.
This photo is a tribute to those people who volunteer their time to restore and maintain these old steam locomotives in working condition. In this photo, two men are performing minor maintenance tasks while waiting the two hours or more that it takes to fire this engine up. This engine runs a tourist loop at New Hope Pa. and was out of service in 2014. Hopefully it will be back this year. Parts have to be hand made and there are not many people that know how to repair or operate them anymore.
Testing my new Canon T1i. Tried in low lighting condition. Auto ISO worked OK. ISO1600 is not too bad, and better than my Canon xTi.

The city was renamed into Nursultan in honor of the former President Nursultan Nasarbajew.
Supermarine Spitfire Mark. I QV- N3200 (G-CFGJ) carries out a display at Old Warden during the Season Premier and 100 Years of the RAF Airshow.
N3200 was shot down over occupied France on 26th May 1940, during Operation Dynamo and the rescue of British Forces from Dunkirk, crash landing on Sangatte beach.
The aircraft was recovered in 1986, after being submerged for 45 years, after strong currents finally revealed it.
The Spitfire was restored to flying condition and returned to the air in 2014, before it was donated to the Imperial War Museum in 2015.

The Moon today is in a Full Moon phase. During a Full Moon the moon is 100% illuminated as seen from Earth and is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The Moon will be visible throughout the night sky rising at sunset in the east and setting with the sunrise the next morning. The point at which a Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time it takes between full moons is known as a Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

"We have not overcome our condition, and yet we know it better. We know that we live in contradiction, but we also know that we must refuse this contradiction and do what is needed to reduce it. Our task as [humans] is to find the few principles that will calm the infinite anguish of free souls. We must mend what has been torn apart, make justice imaginable again in a world so obviously unjust, give happiness a meaning once more to peoples poisoned by the misery of the century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But superhuman is the term for tasks [we] take a long time to accomplish, that’s all."
The brilliant Australian conductor Simone Young once said that she has the condition whereby she can "see" musical notes as colours. This should not be surprising. Sound and light both come to us in waves. And wavelength (frequency) determines the pitch and colour of each. This condition is known as Chromesthesia.
Each of the seven notes on a musical scale can be represented by seven colours, and then we simply move up an octave.

• blue -A.
• indigo-B.
• violet-C.
So that is all I have done here.

Excerpt from www.parishoflongpointbay.com/about-memorial-church-port-r...:
Memorial Church is located in the historical picturesque village of Port Ryerse on the northern shore of Lake Erie, approximately 10 minutes south of the town of Simcoe and 10 minutes west of the town of Port Dover, close to both town amenities. The village was one of the first settlements in the area and the Memorial Church grounds contain a Loyalist cemetery with burials as early as 1798. The cemetery was closed for burials in 1917. The church building was built in 1870 in memorial of the early pioneers and Col. Samuel Ryerse who is buried there. The church building, cemetery, and grounds are situated on one corner lot at 31 King Street, Port Ryerse. Memorial Church does not have a rectory of its own, due to its small size and because it has always been paired with a larger church with a functioning rectory. Memorial, as part of the Long Point Parish presently has a shared rectory in Port Rowan approximately 30 minutes away.
Memorial Church is used for church and some community functions. It is the only church in Port Ryerse and can hold approximately 75 people seated. In 1980 the congregation together with financial and physical support from the community raised the church and added a basement. This is utilized as a parish hall having a capacity of 65 persons, with kitchen and washroom facilities. In 2012 the building was renovated with a new bell tower and made fully accessible including new wheelchair accessible washrooms and a lift. The Bell Tower and Accessibility Project cost over $200,000 raised through available church funds, grants, and local support. In 2014, the exterior was repainted and the windows repaired. Today the church has no debts, the building is in good condition and should not require any major upgrades for years to come.
The interior of the church sanctuary is historical with original woodwork, high ceiling and excellent acoustics. It is also modern due to recent changes using 30 comfortable chairs in a circular seating arrangement, making the service experience for 12 to 15 members each week very unique and inclusive. This arrangement also allows for a more functional space. The chairs can be arranged in the more traditional rows for larger functions or removed for the addition of tables for conferences, art shows, musical presentations etc. This building and grounds have great potential for use as a retreat center or spiritual workshop.
A little different than my more recent posts, isn't it? After some discussion with a Facebook friend who posted images of a Eurofighter Typhoon from an airshow in Northern Ireland yesterday, it occurred to me that I hadn't posted this image from earlier this year at the airshow from Langley AFB in Virginia... there was a reason why. This Hornet was flying by so fast and so close that I clipped its nose in the original image... "Rats!" No such luck for a retake, so I combined two images in Photoshop. Sounds easy, right? The angles and lighting were different throughout the series of images, however, so it took a bit of work... of which I will not bore you with the details.
I grew up in a military environment, closely connected to aviation, particularly fast movers like this one. Back in that day, it wasn't unusual to hear the occasional explosive sonic boom... we called it the "Sound of Freedom". Times are different now, though there are some places where it still occurs... for a reason. There's a corridor where my parents once lived (and where my oldest brother now lives) where F-15 Eagles that have undergone repairs and upgrades at Robins AFB in Georgia transition to supersonic speeds and high Gs to make sure parts don't fall off. You can see a tiny arrowhead shape in the upper atmosphere, likely around 8 miles up, moving much faster than commercial aircraft... then you'll notice a puff of vapor around it. As it is with thunder and lightning, depending on how far away it actually is, you'll feel the shock wave as it moved into supersonic speeds seconds later, which is impressive on its own... but the sonic boom afterwards sounds like 10 sticks of dynamite going off, even from so far away. I brought a girlfriend on a visit to my parents many years ago. The whole family was there and we had all just sat down to breakfast when a shock wave occurred that rattled everything in the house... we knew the boom was coming, but acted like nothing had happened. My friend was already wide-eyed with concern to the shock wave, but when we didn't react to the sonic boom, she said, "Am I the only one who heard that?" Our response: "Heard what?" Wish I could have filmed that!
This aircraft is real close to punching through the speed of sound here, in a condition known as transonic... two specific shock waves are made evident in the vapor. Here's the text I used on a previous image of this same aircraft: This is a U.S. Navy F/A-18C Hornet, flown by Lt Scott Lindahl, callsign "MacGruber", with Strike Fighter Squadron 106 (VFA-106) out of Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia. A Hornet looks fast even when it's parked on the ramp... here, MacGruber is pushing it at just under the speed of sound, Mach .96 at sea level, or 730 mph. The jet is condensing the vapor in the air around it by decreasing the air pressure and density along some of its structure at this high speed.
That Mach number isn't consistent along the Hornet's curves... some of the curved parts force the air moving over them to supersonic speed, while linear parts are still subsonic, creating a condition known as transonic... transonic speeds form troughs of lower pressure than the ambient air along the airframe. The rapid pressure change also lowers the temperature around the aircraft enough to reach the dew point... instant clouds on a humid morning such as this. That's the scientific explanation, but here, I'm just as happy that it's making it appear to be doing what it actually is in a still shot... moving fast! Try tracking that in any viewfinder... blink and you've missed it.
I'm former Air Force, and had spent some quality time right here at Langley AFB, in Hampton, Virginia... it was a great show here highlighting airpower at its best, but it was also nice to show my wife some good stompin' grounds from the past. I can't close this without a big thank you to Lt Lindahl for his service in troubled times.
