Auf ein ganz besonderes Experiment lässt sich Sängerin Romy Haag jetzt in ihrer neuen Show ein: Musikalische "Blind Dates" stehen im Fokus eines Projekts, das spannende Überraschungen und echte Entdeckungen bereithält. Denn auf der Bühne wird es zu Begegnungen mit Künstlern kommen, mit denen Romy noch nie zuvor gearbeitet hat, darunter etablierte Sänger sowie Musiker aus dem Underground, neue spannende Namen, die dem Berliner Publikum vielleicht noch nicht bekannt sind und auch Romys ganz eigene Geheimtipps.
Gekonnt spannt Romy Haag dabei den Bogen vom Vertrauten zur Magie des Neuen. Dabei bleibt sie sich stets treu und wird erneut ihrem hohen Anspruch gerecht, einen rockigen, avantgardistischen und unterhaltsamen Abend zu präsentieren.
Romy Haags Konzerte gleichen stets einem bezaubernden Rendezvous. Sie sind ergreifende Begegnungen mit Menschen und Themen, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten das facettenreiche Leben der Künstlerin geprägt haben. Romy Haag ist emotional, persönlich berührend und auch politisch in ihren Songs. Ihre liebgewonnenen und neuen "Lieblingslieder" präsentiert sie jedoch stets ohne reumütigen Blick zurück. Stattdessen sind die Songs geprägt vom Hier und Jetzt.
Ergänzt mit interessanten Anekdoten aus den verschiedensten Stationen ihres aufregenden Lebens, versprechen die „Blind Dates“ zu einer fesselnden Show zu werden.

ROMY HAAG Blind Dates
Singer Romy Haag is now embarking on a very special experiment in her new show: Musical "blind dates" are the focus of a project that holds exciting surprises and real discoveries in store. Because on stage, there will be encounters with artists Romy has never worked with before, including established singers and musicians from the underground, exciting new names that may not yet be known to Berlin audiences and Romy's very own insider tips.
Romy Haag skillfully spans the arc from the familiar to the magic of the new. In doing so, she always remains true to herself and once again lives up to her high standards of presenting a rocking, avant-garde and entertaining evening.
Romy Haag's concerts always resemble an enchanting rendezvous. They are poignant encounters with people and themes that have shaped the artist's multifaceted life over the past decades. Romy Haag is emotional, personally touching and also political in her songs. However, she always presents her cherished and new "favorite songs" without a rueful look back. Instead, the songs are characterized by the here and now.
Supplemented with interesting anecdotes from the various stages of her exciting life, the "Blind Dates" promise to be a captivating show.

An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.
THIS LENS DATES TO circa 1860 ,
Not engraved, made by C.BERTHIOT FABRICANT OPTICIEN PARIS .
Focal length is 245mm (9.6inch) f:5,6
Covers from 15x21cm up to 22x29cm
It has 2 achromatic doublet with a piano-concave lenses , with a Waterhouse diaphragm mounts , mounted in the central lens , has rack & pinion which is still working.
A classic portrait or landscape lens used in daguerrotype and wet collodion processes.
High - 65 mm , diameter connect ring - 76 mm.
Designed this line, to sort of dates in three sizes (large diameter more than 25 mm) (medium with a diameter of more than 17.5 mm) (Small with a diameter of more than 10 mm) This line is characterized, sorting accurate and effectively harvest dates using laser property to determine the colors and quantity for each size, with the account number of dates, with a permanent reading of the weight of each size separately.
In Mike’s recent Nature paper (Sutikna et al., 2016) we provided new dates for presence of hobbits at Liang Bua, with last dated fossil remains of around 60,000 and based on stone tools around 50,000. This is contrary to previous dates that suggested they survived on Flores until around 18,000 or even 12,000 year ago. One of the upshots of this article was that there now existed a ‘gap’ in the chronology of the sequence from around 46,000–20,000 years ago. In my Journal of Archaeological Science (JAS) paper i examine a different part of the sediment sequence, exposed at the rear of the cave, that fills much of this missing chronology (roughly 41–20,000 years), based on new radiocarbon ages. I am a geoarchaeologist, and I study sediments to infer past environments at the site, and to understand how the site formed, either by natural sediment accumulation and/or by human (hominin) agency. I show how the interior of the site changed over a roughly 200,000 year period (that includes the 46–20,000 year gap recognised in Sutikna et al., 2016), coinciding with periods of wetter and drier climate.
Lovely looking fresh dates, just down the road from where I live.

The Arkadi Monastery (in Greek: / Monà ArkadhÃou) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery, situated on a fertile plateau 23 km (14 mi) to the southeast of Rethymnon on the island of Crete in Greece.
The current catholicon (church) dates back to the 16th century and is marked by the influence of the Renaissance. This influence is visible in the architecture, which mixes both Roman and baroque elements. As early as the 16th century, the monastery was a place for science and art and had a school and a rich library. Situated on a plateau, the monastery is well fortified, being surrounded by a thick and high wall.
The monastery played an active role in the Cretan resistance of Ottoman rule during the Cretan revolt of 1866. 943 Greeks, mostly women and children,[1] sought refuge in the monastery. After three days of battle and under orders from the hegumen (abbot) of the monastery, the Cretans blew up barrels of gunpowder, choosing to sacrifice themselves rather than surrender.
The monastery became a national sanctuary in honor of the Cretan resistance. 8 November is a day of commemorative parties in Arkadi and Rethymno. The explosion did not end the Cretan insurrection, but it attracted the attention of the rest of the world.
Arkadi Gorge
The Arkadi Monastery is located in the Rethymno regional unit, 25 km southeast of Rethymno. The Monastery is situated on a rectangular plateau on the northwest side of Mount Ida (Crete), at an altitude of 500 m.[2] The Arkadian region is fertile and has vineyards, olive groves and pine, oak and Cyprus forests. The plateau on which the monastery rests is surrounded by hills. The west side of the plateau stops abruptly and falls off into gorges. The gorges start at Tabakaria and lead to Stavromenos, to the east of Rethymno. The Arkadian gorges have a rich diversity of plants and native wildflowers.[3]
The Arkadian Plateau
The area the monastery is located in first developed in antiquity. The presence of Mount Ida (Crete), which is a sacred mountain because it was legendarily the childhood home of Zeus, made the area attractive to early settlers. Five km to the northeast, the city of Eleftherna had its cultural peak in the time of Homer and in classical antiquity, but its influence was also felt in the early Christian and Byzantine periods.
The closest village to the monastery is Amnatos, located three km to the north. The villages that surround Arkadi are rich in Byzantine relics that prove the early wealth of the region. The Moni Arseniou monastery, which is several km north of Arkadi, was also an example of the grand Cretan monasteries.
Arkadi Monastery is in the shape of a nearly rectangular parallelogram. The interior resembles a fortress and is 78.5 metres long on the north wall, 73.5 metres on the south wall, 71.8 metres on the east wall and 67 metres on the west wall. The total area of the monastery is 5200 m².
The Emperor Arcadius, who founded the monastery according to tradition.
The exact date of the founding of the monastery is not precisely known. According to tradition, the foundation of the monastery is sometimes attributed to the Byzantine emperor Heraclius and sometimes to the emperor Arcadius in the 5th century. And, according to the second version, the monastery took its name from the name of the emperor. However, in Crete, it is common for monasteries to be named after the monk that founded the building, which lends support to the theory that Arkadi may have been founded by a monk named Arkadios. Other such monasteries are Vrontisiou, Arsiniou and Aretiou.
According to Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, the monastery was built on the site of an ancient city, Arcadia. Legend tells that after the destruction of Arcadia, all the springs and fountains stopped flowing until a new city was built.[5][Note 1] However, in 1837, Robert Pashley found evidence to suggest that it was impossible for the monastery to have been built on the ruins of another city,[6] so this idea has lost credence.
In 1951, the professor K. Kalokyris published an inscription dating to the 14th century and verified the hypothesis that a monastery was dedicated to Saint Constantine in this period. The inscription was located on the pediment of a church that predates the current one, over the entrance door. It read:
"The church carrying the name of Arkadi is consecrated to Saint Constantine. wikipedia
My friend BJ at work was very kind and has loaned me his 10-20mm Sigma wide angle lens for the weekend. I plan to make good use of it.

Around Succoth, ( The feast of tabernacles) we eat fresh dates, they are at their best after having been in the freezer for some time.
All along upper Main Street of historic Clarkdale Arizona, decades of etchings and tiny graffiti decorate the vintage bricks: names, dates, romances, victories. Some are in pencil!
My latest project is to document the words while they are still there,
"The Sacco-Vanzetti case : a commentary with photographs" by Joseph Secondi.
