This simple black paper photograph album, currently on display, contains some seventy black and white snapshots detailing a Girl Scout summer camp experience in 1919. Girl Scouts of the USA was founded in 1912 and its first decade saw a rapid expansion of girls’ summer camps throughout the country. A handwritten note in the album puts the date at August 1919, and clues in the photographs indicate that the camp, called Yacahula, was likely located in upstate New York. However, we still do not know the identity of the Girl Scout who documented her summer memories in this keepsake.

The Jal Binajak Temple is one of the ancient Temples belonging to the Kathmandu Valley Civilization. A stone that protrudes from the Bagmati Riverbed is worshiped as Jal (water) Binayak (the god of learning). From within the Jal Binayak, one can hear the gushing sound of water coming from below. Due to growing pollution in Bagmati, the holy shrine is also drawing foul smell from the water underneath the deity.
Greater consensus among people is that the current Manjushree Park should extend covering entire range of the temple and the Chobhar gorge for conservation of the Manjushree and Jal Binayah Heritage.
____________
Kirtipur (Nepali: कीर्तिपुर, Nepal Bhasa: किपू Kipu) is an ancient city in Nepal. It is located in the Kathmandu Valley 5 km south-west of the city of Kathmandu. It is one of the five municipalities in the valley, the others being Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi.
ETYMOLOGY
The name Kirtipur comes from Kirti (glory) and pur (city).
DEMOGRAPHICS
Originally a Newar foundation, Kirtipur is still a center of Newar culture. It has been merged with surrounding villages to form the municipality of Kirtipur with a population of 67,171.
It consists of many temples, gumbas (Buddhist monastery) and churches too. Due to the presence of Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur is also a popular area for out-of-town students and professors to rent houses and they are major contributors to the local economy.
HISTORY
Kirtipur's history dates from 1099 AD. It was part of the territory of Lalitpur at the time of the invasion of the Kathmandu Valley by the Gorkhali king Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century.
In 1767, Kirtipur was annexed to the Gorkhali kingdom by Prithvi Narayan following the Battle of Kirtipur. He took the town on his twenty third attempt, after entering it by trickery. After this, he cut off the noses and lips of everybody in the city.
This was the site of an inspirational peaceful demonstration of the people in the 2006 mass uprising that overthrew the powers of the king. It is considered to be an anti-monarchy city due to its bitter history against the Shah dynasty whose modern founder conquered the city insultingly, which was followed by negligence of the administration and development by subsequent rulers.
PLACES OF INTEREST
BAGH BHAIRAB
Bagh Bhairab temple is one of the most popular temples dedicated to the God Bhairab in the form of a tiger. This god is regarded as the guardian of Kirtipur and the locals call it Ajudeu, a grandfather god. Bhairab, the most terrifying and awful form of Shiva is the destroyer on one hand and the guardian on the other. Ceremonial rituals in relation to the important events of life such as rice-feeding, puberty, marriage and even the construction of houses cannot be done without propitiating this deity in most of the towns and cities of Nepal.
The present three storeyed temple of Bagh Bhairab probably built in 16th century stands in the brick-paved rectangular courtyard with the rest houses around it. There are some small shrines and stone images spread over the courtyard. The main gate is at the southern side. There are two other gates in the eastern and western sides. The two roofs of the temple are of tiles while the third one is covered with gilt-copper. There are wooden pillars carved with Hindu gods and goddesses. They have been erected in between windows of the second storey and the names of the carved deities have been finely cut out below them on the pedestals.
There are eighteen pinnacles-one in the first roof, six in the middle and eleven in the top roof. Beneath the eaves of the first roof there are very old but faded murals depicting the stories of Ramayan. Maha Bharat and the various manifestations of Durga, the mighty mother goddess. These paintings are frescoes in red with white plaster background. At the right side of the main gate of the temple there is Hifa Dyo, the god of blood sacrifice is allowed directly to Bagh Bhairab, all animal offerings to the deity are made here on behalf of this deity just as the animal sacrifices are made to Kumari, a stone idol, placed at the second gate in the left side of Chandeswori at Banepa and to the Chhetrapal which is at the very beginning of the final series of the steps to the temple of Khadga Jogini at Sankhu.
There are two torans over Hifa Dyo. They bear very fine cuttings of Asta-Matriks, Asta-Bhairabs and other gods and goddesses. In the western wall of the temple there is a hollow space regarded by the local people as Nasa Dyo, the god of music and dance. Bagh Bhairab made of clay has been enshrined in the left side corner in the temple. The three glass-eyed tiger-god is tongue-less and tooth-less but covered with silver and copper plates and heavily ornamented. This deity as mentioned in the stone inscriptions has been called Bagheswor (the tiger god), Bhimsen Bhattarak (Bhimsen, the governing deity), Gudei Sthanadhipati (the lord in the form of tiger) and Ajudyo(the ancestral god).
The local peoples hail this deity as the embodiment of prudence, knowledge, productivity and strength to resist all evils. Hence, the auspicious ceremonies such as weddings, hair-cuttings, rice-feedings and other ritual performances in Kirtipur are done only after a puza to this deity.
CHILANCHO STUPA
A Buddhist shrine, is situated on the southern hill. It is located in Kirtipur, Nepal. It was made in medieval period. An inscription of Nepal Samvat 635 is found in this Chaitya. Therefore, it is one of the most important historical stupa of this region.
UMA MAHESHWAR
Uma Maheshwar temple (locally, Kwacho Dega) is one of the important heritage sites of Kirtipur. This pagoda-style three-storied temple is situated at the highest point (1414 m) of Kirtipur. Since this temple is at the top of the hill, one can enjoy picturesque view of the Kathmandu valley and mountains like Langtang, Dorge Lakkpa, Chobhu Bhamure, and Gaurishankar.
The temple was constructed in 1655 AD by Rautra Vishwanath Babu, a son of king Sidhhi Narsinga Malla. It was destructed in an earthquake in 1832 AD. After remained dilapidated for about a century, it was restored in 1933 AD after it was again destroyed by an earthquake. Local people and government made a herculean effort to renovate it into the current state. The restoration process was completed only in 1982 AD. Recently, in 2008 some work was done to preserve the arts of temple.
There is an artistic stone gate at the entrance. On each side of the stone staircase leading to the temple, there is a stone elephant, with sculptures of Bhimsen and Kuber as protectors of the temple. The main deities in this temple are standing Lord Shiva and Parvati. There are other images of deities like Sarasvati and Mahismardini on false doors around temple.
The wooden doors, pillars, and beams are crafted with artistic figures of different gods and goddess such as Astamatrika and Asta Bhairav. Similarly, erotic figures are also carved in wooden beams. According to archeologists, these figures on beams have tantric values.
The bell on the northern side of temple was cast in 1895 by Gillett & Johnston Founders, Corydon. It was one of the four quarter bells of Ghantaghar of the central Kathmandu and was reallocated to this temple after the Ghantaghar was destroyed by the earthquake in 1933.

During the spring of 2008 the Marine Current Turbine which had been asembled at Harland and Wolf was transported by barge to Strangford Lough. The image shows an early stage of commissioning with the rotors out of the water for inspection. The rotors can turn with either tidal direction generating an output of 1.3 mega wats of electricity
Our 20 slowest tests consume about 2 minutes of the overall 6 minute runtime for 2,000 tests. This rough power-law distribution of test runtime, appears to be common to most test suites.

A teaser poster design for a new church branch we are launching called "The Current." I plan on just hanging these up inside the church and coffee shops to get people curious - not looking to advertise the time and location quite yet.
New branch is geared towards young adults (18-30). The logo for the service is featured in the bottom right hand corner - I plan on using that on the shirts, printed materials, etc.

Thalys PBA Tri-current units operate only on the Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam route while the PBKA Quadri-current operates on Paris-Brussels-Köln-Amsterdam route. They are formed of two power cars (8,800 kW/11,800 hp under 25 kV—like the TGV Atlantique) and eight carriages, giving a capacity of 377 seats approx. They have a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), though not under DB (German) 15,000volts wires. 9 PBA sets were built by GEC-Alsthom in 1996 based closely on the SNCF TGV Réseau design, though with lighter axel loading. The Siemens TRAXX Loco heading up a Breda Fyra service is one of the quad voltage, quad pantograph Benelux locos
Took this for the pixel rig pool. The two LCD displays are managed by some sort of nVidia card in the box behind them (a Dell workstation), and I use Synergy to hook the laptop into the mix. Out of sight to the right is another LCD display which is 99% unused but serves as a console for a couple of other boxes.

As I also work as a coach I'm trying to learn about my profession. Currently I am very interested in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I read several theoretical books about it but self help books as well to incorporate ACT in my counseling and coaching.
Besides that I love to read novels and thrillers. At the moment I read in English (I am Dutch). It is a thriller from Scott Mariani, The Armada Legacy. Most of the time I read some pages before I go to sleep.

Winds were gusting up to 45 mph this morning. It was a scramble to stay low and try to catch the light fleeting across these amazing peaks. I used a 6 stop neutral density filter for this image to smooth out the choppy waters and clouds.
Our everyday life is can often be described as a flow, that is constantly taking us forward. We pass by places, things and people, leaving our memories and experiences behind and we sometimes don’t have an opportunity to stand up, stop and look around or behind ourselves, to see all the way, all the traces, the inanimate witnesses, that silently remember us passing by. In this photo series I sought to slow down, disconnect myself from the motion and look back, look up and down. I moved to the sides and touched the objects, had a closer look at them, inspected the marks, textures and lines, tried to observe them back and seek for the clues for the stories they had witnessed.
The European continent is currently facing fundamental challenges with respect to its social and economic future, as well as its internal regional and global geopolitical positioning.
It is to this effect that the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) under the patronage of H.E. Miloš Zeman, President of the Czech Republic and in cooperation with the president’s office are organizing a high level one day strategic conference entitled “Europe Current Evolution” at Prague Castle on Wednesday, 24 June 2015.
