The disk is 2" wide. The wires were all but one little one bent in previous session. Getting them affixed to the disk was a real trial - featherweight pieces flying off and otherwise going astray - still a few to go. But these are the most important. Fjorlief was again a lifesaver.
Some interesting? issues have to do with the fact that per past notes it was a 2.25" disk, while we decided it was more of a 2" disk, but probably it was 2.25 (but didn't have to be.) That means when wires were placed, we ended up with a lot less "room for blue background " (which is acceptable...) also, more importantly, turned out that one of the hose pieces was a bit too short to reach the end of disk. We cut another piece 'l shaped' (well right angle shaped) and set it down right next to the short piece with the right angle piece along the edge of the disk. That was enough to keep it in place and when we get to sanding down the disk at the end of the process we will take that part off. No worries. We hope. Also the nose is not quite in the right place (that isn't too awful ... placing these pieces again being a booger) and the pieces for the wavy bib lines were a bit of a disaster in placement - so these are the 'important' pieces and I will fill in as makes sense next time.
Colors will be: white 1000, orange == marigold 1930, blue = cobalt 1685, black = either opaque black 1996 (usual but running low) or hard fusing black 1249 (which looks pretty good as the reverse of the ginkgo leaf piece in work now.) I had originally planned a pink nose but on reflection esp since the nose is not ideal here I will keep it orange w the rest of that fur.
Brian Masatani continues running the store that his grandparents opened decades before him.
The aisles were a mess after the San Simeon Earthquake in 2003, but the building remained (amazingly) intact.
His wife and children are my childhood friends, as are our children...a rarity these days.

In the heart of the arid, sun-scorched land of the Little Rann of Kutch, a tradition that spans centuries continues to thrive: the life of the Agariya people, the traditional salt farmers. These resilient men and women have been harvesting salt from the vast salt marshes of Gujarat, India, for generations. Their lives are intricately intertwined with the land and its seasonal rhythms, a delicate balance of nature, labor, and cultural heritage.
The Little Rann of Kutch, a desolate expanse of land, becomes a shimmering salt desert during the dry season. The Agariya community has developed an intimate relationship with this barren landscape, one that requires patience, skill, and an intimate knowledge of the natural environment. Their work begins in the heat of the summer, when the land is dry, and the evaporation of water leaves behind the precious salt crystals that the Agariyas painstakingly harvest.
In the early morning, before the sun rises to its unforgiving peak, the Agariya men and women venture out into the salt marshes, often barefoot, the soles of their feet accustomed to the harsh terrain. They begin the process of creating the salt pans by digging shallow pools in the earth, allowing the brine that seeps from the ground to accumulate. Over time, the salty water evaporates under the harsh sun, leaving behind salt crystals that can be harvested. It is a painstakingly slow process that takes months, and every step is done by hand: from the creation of the salt pans to the collection of the harvested salt.
The Agariya community is deeply connected to this labor-intensive process, and their lives revolve around it. The rhythm of their work is determined by the changing seasons. During the monsoon season, the marsh is flooded, and the salt harvesting ceases. But when the rains end, the cycle begins anew. Each year, they move in and out of the Rann, living in temporary shelters made of thatch and mud, and bringing their families along for the work. It is a family affair, with each member contributing in some way. Children grow up learning the techniques of salt farming, passing down the knowledge from one generation to the next.
The Agariyas are known for their remarkable ability to endure the intense heat and the harsh conditions of the Rann. The work is grueling—days spent in the hot sun, often with little rest, and their hands and feet calloused from the constant contact with the salt. The salt also takes a toll on their bodies, leaving their skin chapped and cracked, but they persist, for the salt is their livelihood.
Despite the hardships, there is a quiet dignity in their work. Salt is a vital commodity, and the Agariyas' labor supplies it not just for local consumption, but for global trade. The salt they harvest is not just an essential ingredient for food preservation and cooking, but a vital component of many industries—chemical production, pharmaceuticals, and even de-icing roads in colder countries.
The lives of the Agariyas are also marked by their distinctive culture and traditions. Their language, clothing, and festivals reflect the harsh yet vibrant life of the Kutch region. The Agariyas have their own social structure and community life, where cooperation and mutual support are essential. Despite the isolation of their work, they have maintained a close-knit community, where elders are revered, and customs are passed down carefully through the generations.
Over time, the Agariya people have faced challenges: the changing landscape of industrialization, government regulations, and the encroachment of modern farming practices. The advent of mechanized salt production has also threatened their traditional way of life, as large-scale industries take over the business of salt harvesting.
However, despite these challenges, the Agariyas' bond with the land remains unbroken. In recent years, efforts to preserve their way of life have emerged, with some organizations helping the community adapt to new circumstances while keeping their traditional practices alive. The Agariya way of life is not just about harvesting salt—it is a testament to resilience, tradition, and an unyielding connection to the land.
The story of the Agariya people in the Little Rann of Kutch is a quiet, enduring narrative of survival, cultural identity, and the deep bond between human labor and nature. For centuries, they have been the unsung keepers of a precious resource, working in the desolate wilderness of Kutch, and in doing so, they have carved out a legacy that is as vast and enduring as the salt they harvest.

The stream flowing from Bedworth Slough forms a brook which flows south, under Newtown Road, between the housing to Rectory Drive and then continues beside Silk Weavers Way to cross beneath the A444. It runs parallel to Bowling Green Lane, crossing School Lane to feed the moat of Tudor Court, beneath the M6 and thence across the fields behind St Giles Church. Here it is joined by the Breach Brook. It passes back under the A444 to Sowe Meadows Nature Park, under Rowley's Green Lane, the railway line and finally Grindle Road, where it is just visible as it is culverted beneath the housing and adjacent Coventry canal, thence across Longford Community Nature Reserve to the Longford Road. From here it emerges into the green oasis of Longford Park to exit not far from Alderman's Green Road.
The River Sowe is a river in Warwickshire and West Midlands. It is a tributary of the River Avon, and flows into it just south of Stoneleigh about 5 miles (8 km) south of Coventry. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long.
The Sowe rises in Bedworth 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north of Coventry. Its route takes it through Exhall near to Junction 3 of the M6 motorway and the A444 road, to the northern and then the eastern suburbs of Coventry, in particular the districts of Longford, Wood End, Walsgrave, Binley, Willenhall and near the village of Baginton. Near Baginton the river has a large steep bank on its southern side and the remains of the Roman Lunt Fort have been found at the top of this bank.
There is an established local park called the Sowe Valley Footpath that runs alongside the river for 8½ miles from Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area to Stonebridge Meadows Local Nature. It also runs through Wyken Slough Local Nature Reserve, Wyken Croft Nature Park and Stoke Floods Local Nature Reserve.

Acharnians by Aristophanes
Comedy too can sometimes discern what is right.
The Cyprus Theatre Organisation continues its summer season with The Acharnians, the earliest of Aristophanes’ surviving plays (425 BC).
The Acharnians are here to teach us valuable lessons, to raise concerns, to sharply criticize any idea that opposes democracy and the people’s best interest, and finally, to offer plenty of laughter.
Nicosia is the capital and largest city on the island of Cyprus, as well as its main business centre.It is located near the centre of the Mesaoria plain, on the banks of the River Pedieos.
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.
