The first visitors to Indian Echo Caverns, most likely were the Susquehannock Indians. They lived along the Swatara creek, upon which the mouth of the caverns sits. It is currently believed that they used the caverns as a refuge during inclement weather because of the constant 52° temperature inside the caverns. The Susquehannock vanished from the area in the 1670's leaving the region around the caverns virtually unoccupied.
The first non-Native American explorers of the caverns were most likely French fur trappers. They traveled along the rivers and creeks of the north east during the latter part of the 17th Century and into the early 18th Century. Most likely they discovered the mouth of the caverns as they traveled on the Swatara Creek. These intrepid explorers wrote about their tales in the caverns attracting more and more explorers.
The Caverns were first opened to the general public in 1929, when Mr. John Bieber opened the doors to the caverns. Mr. Bieber realized that many people wishing to visit the caverns might be put off by the treacherous, uneven terrain that nature created. Bieber undertook a massive commercialization process, in which all of the pathways in the caverns were made safe for travel, as well as opening up many rooms closed off because of huge mineral deposits. The caverns were a natural Mecca of the region, attracting thousands of visitors in its first years. However, sadly, the caverns fell upon hard times during the Great Depression, and Mr. Bieber lost ownership to the bank. All was not lost, for in 1942, Mr. Edward S. Swartz, a Hershey native purchased the caverns. Today, the ownership of the caverns still remain in his family, with hundreds of thousands of visitors walking the paths of the Susquehannocks each year.

Birds. African Hoopoe. Madikwe Game Reserve. South Africa. Nov/2020
African Hoopoe
The African hoopoe (Upupa africana) is a species of hoopoe in the family Upupidae. Previously considered as a subspecies (Upupa epops africana) of the hoopoe, due to its vocalisations and small differences in plumage, it is otherwise similar to that species.
The species was described by the German naturalist Johann Matthäus Bechstein under the current binomial name Upupa africana
The African hoopoe is 25-28 centimeters (10-11 inches) in length and weighs 40-60 grams (1.4-2.1 ounces). It has a long, decurved bill, with cinnamon, black and white plumage and a long crest that raises when the bird is alarmed. Its wings are broad and rounded. The female is slightly duller than the male with less white in the secondary feathers. The juvenile has dull buff underparts with a shorter bill and buff tinge to the white wing bars.

Madikwe Game Reserve
The Madikwe Game Reserve is a protected area in South Africa, part of the latest park developments in the country. Named after the Madikwe or Marico River, on whose basin it is located, it was opened in 1991 and comprises 750 km2 of bushland north of the small town Groot-Marico up to the Botswana border.
Madikwe Game Reserve lies 90 km north of Zeerust on what used to be farm land, but owing to the poor soil type, farming was not that successful. After extensive research, the South African Government found that this land would best be utilised as a provincial park, to economically uplift this otherwise rather poor area.
The process reintroducing wildlife to the area began in 1992 under the codename Operation Phoenix which relocated entire breeding herds of elephants, Cape buffaloes, south-central black rhinos and southern white rhinos along with various species of antelopes. Following Operation Phoenix, Madikwe has also successfully reintroduce rarer predatory species such as lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and Cape wild dogs bringing the total large mammal population of the reserve to over 10 000. There are currently more than 60 species of mammal in the park.

Reserva do Madikwe
A Madikwe Game Reserve é uma área protegida na África do Sul, parte dos mais recentes desenvolvimentos de parques no país. Batizado em homenagem ao rio Madikwe ou Marico, em cuja bacia está localizado, foi inaugurado em 1991 e compreende 750 km2 de mata nativa ao norte da pequena cidade de Groot-Marico até a fronteira com o Botswana.
A Madikwe Game Reserve fica 90 km ao norte de Zeerust, no que costumava ser terras agrícolas, mas devido ao tipo de solo pobre, a agricultura não teve tanto sucesso. Após uma extensa pesquisa, o governo sul-africano descobriu que esta terra seria melhor utilizada como um parque provincial, para elevar economicamente esta área bastante pobre.
O processo de reintrodução da vida selvagem na área começou em 1992 sob o codinome Operação Fênix, que realocou rebanhos inteiros de elefantes, búfalos do Cabo, rinocerontes-negros do centro-sul e rinocerontes brancos do sul junto com várias espécies de antílopes. Após a Operação Phoenix, Madikwe também reintroduziu com sucesso espécies predatórias mais raras, como leões, chitas, hienas-pintadas e cahorros do mato, elevando a população total de grandes mamíferos da reserva para mais de 10.000. Atualmente, existem mais de 60 espécies de mamíferos no parque

I am currently working on a project where I compare what a location looked more than five years ago and how it looks today. In some cases there is not been a huge change.
I live very close to Moore Street and unlike most people I do not like the street and I do not frequent the market but that does not mean that I do not sympathise with the traders. In my opinion the street does need to be redeveloped but there must be a place for the current trader families who have operated in the area for generations.
Moore Street is located in the city centre off Henry Street, one of Ireland's main shopping streets. The famous Moore Street open air fruit and vegetable market is Dublin's oldest food market.
Dublin City Council planned from 1998 to demolish the terrace to redevelop the area, but this was opposed by groups who held this terrace and the battlefield trail running from the GPO down Moore Lane and Henry Street and into Moore Street to be an important part of Irish history, some referring to the location as "Ireland's Alamo". The National Graves Association began its campaign in 2002, setting up the "Save 16 Moore Street committee" in 2005. Numbers 14-17 Moore Street were declared a national monument in 2007, guaranteeing their retention. However over the years there have been many plans and disputes about the future of the area.
A concerned citizen, Colm Moore, took a number of legal challenges on State decisions regarding the street to the High Court. Justice Max Barrett gave an interim order that no demolition take place until the case had been heard and the occupiers left a building that they had occupied. Subsequently, after hearing heavy machinery at work within the buildings and the refusal of the Minister of Heritage to permit independent inspection of the work, refusing access to a delegation of members of the Irish parliament and the Lord Mayor of Dublin, activists of the Save Moore Street 2016 campaign group, which had arisen out of the occupation, blockaded the site and prevented building workers gaining access.
The blockade was maintained for almost six weeks and was lifted only with the delivery of the Barrett judgement. On March 18, having heard the case of Mr. Moore and the State's defence, Justice Barrett declared that not only the whole terrace but the surrounding street and lanes constituted a national historic 1916 Battleground.
The Minister of Heritage, Heather Humphreys, with the support of the Government cabinet, has lodged an appeal against this decision, the hearing of which scheduled for late December 2017.
The campaign for conservation and appropriate development continues. SMSFD have missed only two Saturdays in Moore Street since September 2015 and claim over 70,000 signatures to their petition. The SMS2016 campaign group have organised a number of public events also. Campaigners and traders have claimed that the street market is being run down, campaigners claiming this is a deliberate policy of convergency of interests of property speculators, vulture capitalists, some Dublin City Council officials and the Government.
On Thursday 3 February 2022, the Robert Whetstone Birmingham Corporation 1/8 scale model tram 1, moved under its own power for the first time in over 40 years, at the Crich Tramway Village.
The National Tramway Museum is currently looking after a collection of model trams made during the 1960s and 1970s by the late Robert Whetstone of Bromsgrove.

This is my current high score as of 12/22/2008. How high is this score in the community of CoD4 Arcade players, honestly?
Gotta get 8x bonus every time. You should never see the "Bonus Lost" text.
This one is so much fun. Here's how I go through this level on Veteran, in case any of you guys care.
My first suggestion: try this on the campaign mode so you can die an infinite amount of times to perfect the motions. The great benefit of the arcade mode is that you don't have to guess if you killed a bad guy.
1. When you begin, crouch immediately. Switch to the USP. Move back and left and swap the USP for the SVD. Still crouched, aim through the messed up car that was in front of you and snipe the guys in the bus and in the area immediately outside the bus.
2. Get up and run to the left towards the tank. Run along the left side of the tank, reload both weapons, and take it all the way until you reach the opening near the wall. The tank follows you up to this point. You are told to get an RPG and shoot down the incoming helicopters. Don't do it. Switch to the SVD. Get behind the tank and go prone. Get in a good position and snipe each enemy as he slides down the rope. Then keep shooting the guys as they run by. with either the SVD or the M4. Shoot the car until it catches fire, you'll get some points when it blows up if you initiate the fire.
3. When they're all dead, back up, get up, and hug the wall on the left. Move forward until you reach the doorway, stop. The tank will follow you and will stop at the corner just ahead of you. There will be four enemies from the left that you can shoot while against the wall or on the right side of the tank, you'll have to run to the other side of the tank as you are currently on the left side.
4. When the tank turns left, move to the left side of the arch. Shoot the three cars until they catch fire. Run to the bus and swap the SVD for the AK-47. You should easily have 300 rds available. Reload both weapons. Go back to the arch corner. Sprint between the back of the tank and the cars until you get to the dumpster. This is the BEST spot I've found to just relax and kill enemies from. Hop on the trash can on the right side of the dumpster. Do NOT jump onto the dumpster at this point; it's suicide.
5. Switch to the AK-47. Stand up on the trash can to shoot at the guys in the doorway in front of you and in the building to the left, both stories. Crouch if necessary. It's hard for them to hit you in this position. You don't even have to worry about grenades as far as I know. When the tank finally moves forward, jump off the can. Do the following very quickly, or it could mean death. Climb onto the dumpster and jump over the edge. Move right as fast as you can to get to some cover. Press forward and kill enemies as necessary. Clean out the doorway. Go up the stairs and shoot through the door. Move forward and shoot the guy around the corner in the next room. There's also a guy in the closet; shoot through the closet doors to kill him.
6. Move to the edge of the blown out section and shoot the car below if it hasn't already exploded.
more coming soon; let me know if you care

Current transport takes the form of this awesome Mercedes E-class saloon. Its a 2004 model built in Germany and shipped to New Zealand. After a short spell in Northern Ireland it finally came to the UK mainland in 2014. I acquired it for £5800 with only 56,000 miles on the clock and in almost perfect condition; not bad for a £40,000 car when new. It's 3.2 litre M112 V6 petrol engine produces 221bhp and 315N.m torque, with a 0-62mph dash in 7.1 seconds. It has one of the sweetest engines this side of a V8.
