A taste of the tropics in my bedroom: my beautiful yellow plumeria continues to bloom! Gotta love the fragrance of these tropical flowers...
Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their beautiful flowers which are used to make leis (flower garlands). In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter months. Plumerias have thick stems, leathery leaves, and an abundance of flowers from early summer until fall. In the tropics, some varieties can grow to a height of over 30 feet! Plumeria's waxy, 2-4-inch flowers are very fragrant. Flower colors include pink, red, white, and yellow. Plumerias are commonly planted in containers and make excellent cut flowers. As a final note, I planted my plumeria cuttings back in January 7, 2016. I'm happy how well they are growing...
(As of Saturday afternoon, April 30, 2016)
NS 298 stopped in Irondale, AL on the passenger main waiting to continue east to ATL, GA after a crew change with NS 1074 DLW leading.
Good progress has been made today, with crews continuing to work through this evening and the weekend. Approximately 21,000 Virginia customers remain without power as of 4:30 p.m. this afternoon.
Throughout the succeeding years, the firm continued to expand and to increase its volume of business. A relation for high quality, reliability and fine craftmanship was steadily built up.
A second mill, at Greenfield, near Oldham, was opened in 1921. This mill specialises in the manufacture of cigarette paper. There are also sales offices in London & Manchester and agencies in many foreign countries. The Company owns several hundred of acres of land around Greenfield Mill, which supports a mixed farm.
The company’s products cover a wide range of fine tissues; in this field, Robert Fletcher & Son Limited has a world-wide reputation for quality, reliability and good service to the customer which is founded upon more than a hundred years of experience.
Financial Strain & Eventual Closure
Towards the late 90’s the two mills of Robert Fletcher & Son Ltd started to stuggle. The increased cost of wood pulp and energy combined to make it tough financially. In 1997 the greenfield site had a turnover of nearly £17m and shareholder funds exceeded £9m. By 1999 turnover was down to £8.2m and the sharholders funds had dwindled to little over £4m. In 2000 in an effort to save the business going to the wall resulted in the closure of the Stoneclough site and 120 job losses resulted from the closure although 50 new jobs would be created at the Greenfield site. Despite this move the company continued to spiral into financial ruin and in July 2001 several suppliers and creditors formally applied to wind up the company and resulted in the closure, overnight, of the Greenfield site.
I took a photo of two of these machines back in September and went by today to check on the progress. Now there are four (one was up on the hill out of frame) and they have broken through lots of rocks. A single shot converted in Lightroom for a bit of drama and punch.
In the evening on May 8, in Moscow, continuing peaceful protests of citizens against the seizure of power by Putin. After the violent suppression of demonstrations on May 6, citizens began to assemble spontaneously in different parts of the city and hold no violent protests. Police disperse any peaceful protests, and people are detained and sent to prison.
Continuing my recent trip to the Orkney Islands this is John O' Groats harbour taken from onboard the ferry that crosses the Pentland Firth to the Island of South Ronaldsay.
Just having some fun, haha. Never really tried anything like this before. (TWSS)

From the Revd Dr William Olhausen:
Working out of the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, I am the national coordinator for Continuing Ministerial Education (CME). At the moment, there is an annual programme for ordained priests in their first three years of ministry. Along with everyone else, we have been hit hard by the coronavirus. This has meant missing our final day session with the Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Dr William Morton, and our annual retreat in the beautiful setting of Mount St Anne's Retreat Centre in Co. Laois.
The CME team decided that it would be really good to at least attempt a final Zoom gathering to mark the end of the year. It proved to be a very successful and encouraging time together! Archbishop John McDowell joined with us to lead us in a Bible reading and reflection.
The Archbishop spoke on 2 Kings 4: 9. On seeing Elisha walk past, the wealthy Shunammite woman remarks to her husband: "Look, I am sure that this man who regularly passes our way is a holy man of God". The reflection focused on the place of holiness in Christian ministry. Even though we were meeting virtually, there was a real sense of fellowship and being ministered to by our new Archbishop. For me, it was particularly helpful to see holiness as something winsome, something pastoral and something grounded in God's love. I also appreciated the quite subtle point that holiness is not something we can obtain like a diet or a fitness plan but comes by spending time with God and allowing ourselves to be a channel for his love. Finally, I also appreciated the Archbishop's gentle challenge to speak truth to power as and when the Spirit compels us.
Once we had prayed together, we broke down into our pastoral support groups. This proved to be a great opportunity to catch up with each other's news, to learn from each other and also to offer encouragement to one another. Next year's programme may continue to be disrupted as we return to a 'new normal' but we will certainly be much more confident of being able to keep in touch and continue to learn and grow together in our discipleship.

Coast Guard Cutter Valiant crewmembers help take out the carpet at the Marine Safety Detachment St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands during Hurricane Irma relief efforts, Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017. Although some Coast Guard crews around Sector San Juan and the U.S. Virgin Islands have received damage to their units, they continue to make it a top priority to conduct search and rescue missions and port assessments to ensure the safe continuous flow of commercial commerce in the ports of San Juan and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

...continued from the last set i uploaded. This was a fun day taking photos of Gig wearing her black ballet slippers outdoors. Hopefully this summer we can do it again.
Continuing the lab theme, I have a falcon tube (basically plastic screw top test-tubes) containing ethanol. Main uses of ethanol in a molecular biology lab are sterilizing equipment and precipitating DNA. We're also fond of drinking the stuff, although generally while not in the lab, and usually not neat.
Continuing on from my series at the Acropolis, the clouds changed direction again so I captured the Parthenon from this angle. It looked like there as smoke billowing out from the top! Almost scary.
If anyone is wondering whether this is HDR, its not. Just a little post editing work in iPhoto on my Mac.
Seb has much more tolerance for cross fall line skiing than I do. You can see that I skied down, then cut a traverse, so I could continue down the fall line again.
... Falmer throughout... keeps pulling him further he feels from the path to find the bow.....
Like a carrot dangling.... luring him far from his goal......

Kim was stoked to be talking to the original Uhura, Nichelle Nichols, who was in the audience to view the premiere of Star Trek Continues. Kim told me, "Did you see that?"
It began in 1901 with "the race that changed the world."
It continues in 2010 with the most ambitious racing effort in the world!
The ridge continued their impressive start to the season with a 5-0 win against Bacup which sees them up into 3rd in the league. Goals from Tom Ince (2), Morrison, Hart and an own goal.
Georgia will continue to contribute to international efforts in addressing large movements of migrants and refugees - regardless of our small size or our own security challenges. - was a key note message in the speech delivered by H.E. Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia at a High Level Meeting on Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants held at the United Nations (UN) Headquarters today. Prime Minister also noted that 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched one year ago, from that very UN tribune, with a pledge that "no one will be left behind".
"With this statement the UN Member States committed to address the consequences of a migrant crisis which was already leaving millions stranded. Yet forced displacement has since then only increased, with a staggering 300 million international migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons registered this year. Against this backdrop conflicts and insecurity in parts of Africa and the Middle East continue to drive mass exodus, and the death toll of migrants crossing borders continues to climb. Millions globally are still at risk of being left behind" noted the Prime Minister of Georgia.
Head of the Government of Georgia stressed that burden of forced displacement has not bypassed Georgia.
Since the early 90s, Georgia's regions of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia have witnessed several waves of ethnic cleansing under occupation by the Russian Federation. Approximately 400 000 persons have been forcibly displaced - when Georgia's entire population makes up only 4 million. Prospects of their safe return are grim with ongoing creeping annexation and installation of barbed wire fences along the occupation line. Meanwhile, ethnic Georgians in the occupied territories continue to suffer from daily discrimination. It is simply not possible to turn a blind eye to this, and to what is going on worldwide" added the Prime Minister of Georgia.
As noted by the Head of Government, Georgia has already received more than 4 000 asylum seekers from various parts of the world, e.g Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Egypt, and Somalia. Georgian Universities offer educational programmes for students from displaced communities. "We are committed to continuing our assistance in the educational sphere, together with interested partners, including donor countries or organisations that can provide financial support to this initiative" added the Prime Minister of Georgia.
In his opinion, International Organisation for Migration, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and other international agencies have made immense efforts to alleviate the plight of victims. But the gravity of the situation requires a coordinated political response - the situation now is unprecedented. "We need to address the root causes of forced displacement to ensure the situation does not get out of control. We need to be proactive rather than reactive, prevent escalation of conflicts and preclude further waves of displacement. The question is: where do we start? Violation of international law is one of the root causes of conflicts. If we make sure that all actors abide by the law and strictly observe their commitments, we can start moving towards a more peaceful world. We can start preventing crises and the mass exodus that ensues from the millions affected. At the Istanbul World Humanitarian Summit this May we committed to promote a new approach and support the emergence of safe, dignified, and durable solutions for refugees and internally displaced persons. The right to safe return is a basic human right and it must be guaranteed, irrespective of political differences" concluded the Prime Minister of Georgia.
