Consequences in the Netherlands It is also getting warmer in the Netherlands and the sea level is rising. The main consequences of climate change for the Netherlands: The weather is becoming more extreme: more heavy showers, more heat waves. There is a greater risk of flooding: the rivers and sewers are no longer able to drain the water properly during heavy rainfall. Nature in the Netherlands is changing: species that originally come from warmer areas, feel more and more at home in the Netherlands. Well-known examples are the oak processionary caterpillar, the small hermit crab, certain tick species and the "hay fever plant" Ambrosia. Another effect is that spring starts earlier: plants bloom earlier, trees sprout earlier, insects appear earlier and birds breed earlier in the year. This can cause problems, for example for migratory birds that missed the insect peak upon arrival in the Netherlands and cannot find enough food. Species that cannot adapt quickly enough to changing circumstances run the risk of disappearing. There are also advantages: we can grow other vegetable and plant species because they will do better in the Netherlands. Winters are getting milder; it will freeze less often. It is getting wetter: in the spring, autumn and winter there is more rainfall. Summers are getting drier and hotter. There are more summer and tropical days. In the Netherlands, the consequences of climate change can probably be controlled. We can strengthen dikes and dunes and create storage areas along rivers for extra river water. You can also help to limit waterlogging by applying fewer tiles and more greenery in your garden. Rainwater can then sink into the soil, so that the sewer is less overloaded (so: less flooded basements and streets).
That special day.
you remember it.
22-12-2007, there was frozen fog on the trees and a blue sky. It was just a few hours. It was marvelous.

Another shot from DUN NA CUAICHE , the 18th-century watchtower that overlooks the small Scottish town of Inveraray. If you look carefully below the brow of the hill you can see Inveraray Castle the home of the Clan Campbell and the River Aray.
Loch Fyne meaning Loch of the Vine or Wine, is a sea loch on the west coast of Argyll and Bute. It extends 65 kilometres (40 mi) inland from the Sound of Bute, making it the longest of the sea lochs. It is connected to the Sound of Jura by the Crinan Canal.
It has a reputation for its oyster fishery, and as a consequence the loch has given its name to the locally-owned Loch Fyne Oysters and to the associated Loch Fyne Restaurants. It is also notable for its herring-fishing industry, and hence the famous Loch Fyne Kipper, originally caught using the drift-net method. In the mid-19th century, Loch Fyne was the centre of the battle between the traditional drift-net fishermen and the new trawl-net fishermen who sprang up around Tarbert and Campbeltown in 1833.

Macro Monday: #Danger
Width of the frame: 3 cm / 1,18 inches
Oh, how much I hate to accidentally cut myself on paper. And how much more often has that happenend compared to a knive accident in the kitchen. We are surrounded by potentially dangerous things, aren't we? And one of those things is the inconspicious paper, evil in the guise of the daily newspaper, a book, a white, empty sheet of paper, the information leaflet... Admittedly, I've slightely exaggerated the consequences here, because a "paper cut" is never that bloody, but it bloody well hurts anyway ;-)
Simple ingredients used: strip of paper (of course), placed on my semi-glossy white tile and fixated with a small piece of modelling clay (which I forgot to remove with the healing [healing!] brush, *sigh*), because the droplet of "blood" always made it fall over. The "blood" consists of water and glycerol, tinted with red watercolour. Glycerol increases the water's surface tension and helps to stabilise the droplets (thank you very much for the advice, Bine&Minka2007!). A 50-50 mixture is recommended, but you should experiment with the mixing ratio, I used a 40 (water) to 60 (glycerol) mixing ratio for this. You can also use glycerol only. Since it is a fairly greasy substance, I'd recommend to have a bottle of make-up remover at hand which works really well to clean the surfaces you've used the glycerol on.
Other uses for glycerol? On the bottle I got from my local chemist it says that fir branches and Christmas trees last longer when you add a little glycerol to the water (4 tablespoons of glycerol in 1 l of water), and it is also recommended as a frost protection agent for rubber seals of, for instance, fridge or car doors. Speaking of frost protection agent... I vaguely remember the 1985 diethylene glycol wine scandal, where Austrian wineries adulterated their wines with diethylene glycerol... but that's an altogether different matter... ;-)
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Nicht von Pappe...
...sondern scharf wie ein Messer kann Papier sein. Papier war sogar das erste, das mir einfiel, als ich das neue MM-Thema erfuhr. Denn wie oft habe ich mich schon versehentlich an Papier geschnitten. Sicherlich öfter als am Küchenmesser, das man ja auch mit entsprechender Sorgfalt handhabt. Papier hingegen, das harmlose Zettelchen, Blatt, der Beipackzettel... ein unachtsamer Moment und... Autsch! Natürlich habe ich hier etwas übertrieben, denn so "blutig" ist ein Papier-Schnitt selten, aber er tut schon ziemlich gemein weh... ;-)
Den schmalen Streifen aus etwas dickerem Papier habe ich mit einem kleinen Kügelchen Knete (das ich auch noch wegzustempeln vergessen habe...) auf der matt-glänzenden Fliese befestigt, weil der "Blutstropfen" das Röllchen immer zum Überkippen brachte. Das "Blut" ist eine Mischung aus Wasser und Glycerin, gefärbt mit roter Wasserfarbe aus dem Tuschkasten. Vielen Dank übrigens an Bine&Minka2007 für den Tipp mit dem Glycerin. Christa macht ja immer die schönsten Tropfenfotos und ich hatte vor einiger Zeit mal nachgefragt, wie sie ihre Tröpfchen stabilisiert. Das recht ölige Glycerin erhöht die Oberflächenspannung des Wassers, sodass die Tropfen fester werden und länger halten. Ich habe gelesen, dass allgemein ein 50-50-Mischverhältnis empfohlen wird, aber man sollte ruhig damit experimentieren, ich hatte z.B. eine 40(Wasser)-zu-60(Glycerin)-Mischung angerührt. Man kann auch das reine Glycerin nehmen. Make-up-Entferner eignet sich übrigens vorzüglich, um das Zeug auch wieder rückstandslos zu entfernen.
Und wofür kann man Glycerin noch verwenden? Auf meinem Fläschchen aus der Apotheke las ich mit Interesse, dass Tannenzweige und der Weihnachtsbaum länger halten, wenn man 4 Esslöffel davon auf einen Liter ihres "Trink"wassers gibt. Außerdem soll es ein hervorragendes Frostschutzmittel für Gummidichtungen z.B. an Kühlschrank- oder Autotüren sein. Apropos Frostschutzmittel... Da gab es doch vor ewiger Zeit (1985, ich musste gleich mal nachschauen) diesen Weinpanscher-Skandal... aber das ist ein anderes Thema ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch eine angenehme Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Palace Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
This weeks Macro Mondays theme is Citrus.
You always hear about the bad apple, but you never hear about the bad citrus. Surely there are consequences for bad citrus, possibly including the electric chair? It appears this Cutie segment has been bad, and has met such a fate.
Nothing special in this photo, it is exactly as it seems. 12,000 volts of electricity running through fruit.

A story from Western Australia.
Every West Aussie is familiar with the melodious chortling of the magpies' "dawn chorus", but few know that in Aboriginal stories these birds are credited with creating the very first sunrise.
According the Noongar Dreaming, the sky was once so close to the ground that trees could not grow, people had to crawl and all the birds were forced to walk everywhere.
Working together they managed to prop up the sky with sticks, but it threatened to break the sticks and collapse to earth again – with potentially disastrous consequences. The clever magpies, however, took a long stick in their beaks and pushed it up and up until the sky sprang into its proper place, revealing the sun and, with it, the first dawn.
The magpies' boastful singing each morning is to remind everybody of their important role in creation."
This project began two years ago with the idea of a smithing workshop located on the inner corner of a building. To keep the house compact and have the chminey on a senseful place, a T-shaped building was the logical consequence. But I wanted to avoid a right angle between both wings of the building.
I started by building the workshop and the front door. Then added the oriel with the stained glass window as second step.
Getting all the angles right at the short roof sections of both oriels was quiet challenging.

Our one day trip to the Rockies. We have decided to drive to one of our favorite spots in Jasper NP - Medicine Lake. We have not been there since the fall of 2014 and were shocked to see the amount of burned forest in the surrounding area. The fire (Excelsior Wildfire) started by a lightning strike at the beginning of July 2015 and by the time it was finally under control (July 22nd) it consumed 966 hectares of forest...
There are decisions we all must eventually make in our lives. Nobody has the right to judge these life-defining decisions. Once made, we must live with the consequences. Sometimes we make the decisions based on fear and our past losses. Other times we face the choices head on with a courage and conviction that we never knew we had.
A week ago, Marynell almost lost Miss Sara, her precious mother. As a nurse, I work with this specific condition, and I perhaps knew better than Marynell how close her mother truly came to death. Nevertheless Marynell, being a Family Nurse Practioner, instantly grasped the severity and the gravity of the situation.
A decision had to be made and quickly. Intervene and accept the associated risks of intervention, which are also grave in the elderly and frail, or place the situation in the hands of God and accept His will. There are those who will say that God gives us nurses and physicians to intervene on His behalf, and there is merit to that. I believe it myself. However, I have also lost people while struggling desperately to save them. Marynell and I spoke at length about the condition, and the risks. Ultimately though, no nurse, no physician, nor any fortuneteller can make the decision for the family. The family must bear the burden of the decision, and health care providers become the instruments of those decisions.
Miss Sara herself made the decision, and Marynell reinforced and solidified it. There would be no intervention. I was frightened at first and talked to Marynell again with trepidation. However, Marynell's resolve was absolute. And this was the decision that was best for them. Marynell began making funeral arrangements. And she asked for prayers.
Over the next few days, Miss Sara had an inexplicable turn around. Not only did she perk up, but she became more lucid than prior to the event. Again, I was frightened. We often see this right before death. But it stuck. A week later Miss Sara continued to improve and stabilize.
These images were taken approximately a week after the original event that jolted us all into a new and intense awareness of the fragility of life around us. Sometimes the right decisions are not the ones everyone agrees on. The right decisions may not be the ones health care professionals advise. Health care professionals have an obligation to lay out the options. It is up to the family to decide which option to take. The right decisions are always the ones you can live with, and the ones that that support life, dignity, faith and your own personal philosophy of the same.
Miss Sara and Marynell were given a second chance to affirm their love and devotion to each other. We usually don't get second chances like this. Go tell those you love how much they mean to you and do it now. Tomorrow may be too late. And talk about these issues so when your time comes you can make the right decision that you can live with.
The rebuilt Church of our Lady (Frauenkirche) in Dresden, Germany. The church was destroyed in WWII, and as a kid, I played in the ruins which were left by the GDR government as a reminder of the consequences of war. The church was rebuilt through donations after the reunification and I watched it grow year after year until she stood again in all her magnificence.

One of the most visible consequences of a warming world is an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Those are droughts, extreme heatwaves, extreme precipitation, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires etc. The National Climate Assessment finds that the number of heatwaves, heavy downpours, and major hurricanes has increased in the United States, and the strength of these events has increased, too.
With temperature records being smashed month after month, year after year, human-caused global warming is making extreme heat waves more frequent. Heatwaves are periods of abnormally hot weather lasting days to weeks. Of the last 22 years, 20 have been the hottest on record. Higher temperatures also boost evaporation, which dries out the soil in summer - intensifying drought and wildfires over many areas. The 2019-2020 Australia bushfire season proved to be unprecedented in many ways. It began even before the official arrival of spring in June and worsened significantly at the beginning of Nov. 2019 with increasing temperatures and a prolonged drought. More than 72,000 square miles of land were burned – roughly the same area as the entire country of Syria.
Sea level rise leads to higher storm surges and more floods, increases the impacts of coastal storms. Rising temperatures lead to more evaporation thus leading to more moisture in the atmosphere because warmer air can hold more water vapor. Therefore heavy rainfall intensifies. Since 1991, the amount of rain falling in very heavy precipitation events has been significantly above average. For example, we now know that the rainfall from Hurricane Harvey 2017 was 15 percent more intense and three times as likely to occur due to human-induced climate change.
As ocean surface temperature continues to rise it will lead to larger storms. There has been a substantial increase in most measures of Atlantic hurricane activity since the early 1980s, the period during which high-quality satellite data are available. These include measures of intensity, frequency, and duration as well as the number of strongest. We expect to see a higher frequency of Category 4 and 5 storms.
In 2017 in the North Atlantic there’s been 11 named storms of which 6 have been hurricanes. The average between 1981 and 2010 is 6 named storms and 2.6 hurricanes. Hurricane Dorian was an extremely powerful and devastating Category 5 Atlantic hurricane, that became the most intense tropical cyclone on record to strike the Bahamas in August 2019, and is regarded as the worst natural disaster in the country's history. It was also one of the most powerful hurricanes recorded in the Atlantic Ocean in terms of 1-minute sustained winds. In addition, Dorian surpassed Hurricane Irma in 2017 to become the most powerful hurricane on record in the open Atlantic region. Models also project greater rainfall rates in hurricanes in a warmer climate, with increases of about 20% averaged near the center of hurricanes.

With the rising sun, the tide in ebb, and her cubs waiting in the wings, a brown bear sow charges toward a salmon struggling to fight the river currents to join with others of its kind. Together the fish will spawn the next generation that will return here in 5 years. For the bear the event provides the needed calories for her and her cubs to survive the cold, harsh winter. For the salmon, death is the inevitable consequence. The only difference is whether they will languish and die in pools upriver over the ensuing weeks or perish in a matter of seconds in the jaws of a ravenous bear. What might otherwise be a terrible fate seems more tolerable when one understands nature’s complete theatrical drama.

As a natural consequence of the ever more complex gadgets and services, the need for some kind of software assistant arose. Going by many names and varying in functions and intelligence, Personal AIs are now a natural part of every mans day to day life. Personal AIs takes care of transactions, shopping, booking and household chores. Some people find it amusing to give their AIs personality and treat them as pets, others just use them as tools.
Personal AIs can transfer small parts of their core to machines in order to carry out various tasks. Shells are robotic machines that come in thousands of variants. Most Shells have their own governing AIs but they can also merge with Personal AIs and transfer their subroutines to them. Not many people can afford to choose other than the cheapest versions, but theoretically an AI can inhabit any Shell. Creative ways of using shells can of course be shared and downloaded by the AIs.
The Yogamabara Mechanization M-400 Multi-Purpose Shell is a commonly used type of shell. It’s very fast and agile. It gives the host AI the ability to follow it’s client around any ground based environment and has a full range of standard tools, like laser cutter, hydro spanners and standard data sockets to name a few. It’s animal-like form gives it personality and this has made Yogamabara one of the biggest manufacturers of Personal AI Shells.

In December 1998, to mark the Centenary of the Murder in line of duty of Constable Thomas KIng, at Northern Constabulary Headquarters, a new memorial plaque for Constable King was unveiled by Dr John Mann, great great grandson of PC King, and Councillor Major Nigel Graham, Chairman of the Northern Joint Police Committee.
Pictured here (L-R) are Northern Constabulary Historian (then Constable) David Conner, Major Graham, and Constable Malcolm Taylor, Boat of Garten (dressed in turn-of-the-century uniform of Inverness-shire Constabulary ).
--
There follows a report on the event produced by me at the time:-
Abernethy Cemetery is a lonely but peaceful place, lying in beautiful Strathspey - the wide valley of the famous River Spey, one of Scotland's most renowned salmon rivers. Abernethy is a rural parish including the village of Nethybridge, some four miles from the Victorian resort of Grantown on Spey.
On Sunday 20 December 1998 a group of serving and retired police officers, and elected members, from around the Highlands of Scotland gathered in the snow-clad churchyard to remember an event which, though long before and of very much less national consequence than Lockerbie, probably had a similar effect upon the local population in 1898.
One hundred years before, to the day, Constable Thomas King a 46-year old police officer who was the resident beat officer from the village of Nethybridge had gone to the rural Tulloch area to effect the area on a Sheriff Court warrant of one Allan MacCallum. The wanted man, residing with a mother and her daughter in a small but-and-ben two roomed cottage in the woodland of Tulloch, was wanted to appear before the court on a charge of poaching.
MacCallum, well known to the officer as a rebel, was a man who considered that any game running free on the hills and moors of the Cairngorm foothills was as much his as of the landowner. In fact MacCallum's father had been a gamekeeper in the area for many years before his death.
MacCallum was violent and unstable, as the officer well knew. nonetheless there appeared to have been an element of mutual respect between the two. For that reason, while Constable King was doubtless apprehensive of the work to be done, he would not show his concern to the junior officer, John MacNiven of Boat of Garten, who accompanied him to make the arrest.
After many hours of search and 'cat and mouse' the unarmed officers closed on the cottage in which MacCallum had taken lodgings. The wanted man was within, and King went into the small building followed by MacNiven. A shot rang out and Alan MacCallum ran from the house.
PC MacNiven groped around the darkened building and found his colleague, lying dead of a gunshot would to the chest. He tired to revive his fallen comrade but to no avail. Death was instantaneous.
Constable King left a widow and a sizeable young family, who emigrated to Australia to start a new life.One of his sons, in his twilight years, made a pilgrimage back to Scotland to trace his heritage in the 1960's. When Thomas King (junior) died, his ashes were flown back to Scotland and interred in the grave of his father in Abernethy Churchyard.
Twenty years before PC King was shot, and four miles distant in Grantown on Spey, which was then in another Police force's area, another officer had paid the supreme sacrifice.
Constable James Fraser of the Elginshire (later Morayshire) Constabulary went to a hotel in the town to deal with a disturbance and received severe knife wounds from which he died two days later.
These two tragedies remain the only two instances where police officers in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland have died from violence in the line of duty.
So it was that last Sunday the little group gathered in that small churchyard to remember these sacrifices and to give thanks that it had been one hundred years since an officer had been murdered on duty.
A brief but poignant service, led by the local Church of Scotland Minister, heard details of events of that fateful day exactly one century before. The local Member of Parliament, Mr David Stewart, spoke of the sacrifice and the debt of gratitude which the community owed to the Police Service. Retired Superintendent Alan Moir spoke on behalf of the Northern Constabulary branch of the Retired Police Police Officers Association, and three descendants of Constable King were also present.
Constable David Conner, Force Historian, produced a uniform of the period, which had unfortunately shrunk in the interim(!), preventing him from wearing it. Constable Malcolm Taylor, Boat of Garten, whose beat now covers the area of Tulloch where Constable King fell, kindly deputised and wore the uniform with pride. The gravestone was rededicated, complete with added wording to the effect that the officer had been killed in the execution of his duty.
The force was represented by Deputy Chief Constable Keith Cullen, and local officers were also present. The two surviving officers - now long retired - who had been present when Thomas King Junior's ashes were interrred - also braved the elements to attend the service.
Ex-Superintendent Jimmy MacIntyre - now a spritely 85 years young - and ex-Constable Bobby Owen reflected upon the previous service in 1977.
A booklet written by PC Conner, telling the story of Constable King's career, death and family, was distributed at the service. Retired Inspector Sandy Mackenzie, an accomplished piper, played a lament at the graveside, including that haunting melody 'Flowers of the Forest', which would be held across the world the next day from memorial services for the dead of the Lockerbie Disaster.
The group then moved to Inverness, where at Northern Constabulary Headquarters, a new memorial plaque for Constable King was unveiled by Dr John Mann, great great grandson of PC King, and Councillor Major Nigel Graham, Chairman of the Northern Joint Police Committee.
Major Graham paid tribute the work of Constable Conner in his research and the quality of the commemorative booklet he had produced. He also lauded the Police Service of the Highlands and Islands for their commitment and dedication over the years, and gave thanks for the fact that it had been 100 years since an officer had been murdered on duty in the Force's Area.
