Santa Maria in Aquiro is a church in Rome, Italy. It is dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, and is located on Piazza Capranica. The church is ancient – it was restored by Pope Gregory III in the 8th century, and thus must have existed before then. One theory is that it was the titulus Equitii, though San Martino ai Monti is a more likely candidate. It is also referred to as Santa Maria della Visitazione, notably by Pope Urban VI in 1389. The origins of the name are nebulous; most attribute it to a corruption of the term a Cyro, perhaps referring in early days to a neighborhood resident. According to another theory Acyro refers to a curruption of the Latin word "circus", a stadium for horse racing, which was located in the vicinity.[1] In 1540 Pope Paul III granted the church to the Confraternity of Orphans, and it was restored in 1588.
The most important work of art in the church is a 14th century painting, in the apse, of the Madonna and Child with St Stephen, attributed to the school of Pietro Cavallini. This painting and the funeral lapidary monuments in the vestibule are from the medieval church of Santo Stefano del Trullo, destroyed during the pontificate of Pope Alexander VII (1655–1667). There are also paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. The facade was completed by 1774 by Pietro Camporese the Elder, based on designs of Giovanni Francesco Braccioli. The interior was redecorated by Cesare Mariani in 1866.
Two chapels have paintings by followers of Caravaggio: the third chapel at right has a Virgin and Saints (1617) by Carlo Saraceni, while the second chapel on the left has three canvasses – Deposition from the Cross, Crowning with the crown of thorns, and Flagellation of Christ (1635-1640) – attributed to the Frenchman Trophime Bigot. Formerly these paintings were thought to be by the hand of Gerard van Honthorst (Wikipedia.com).

This large branch, diameter approximately 10 inches, broke off a nearby Coast Live Oak. It is covered with a thick growth of bryophytes (moss) which I am not competent to identify. The exposed grain of the oak looks like it twists helically up the branch, and there are small sinusoidal waves in the grain (about one inch between the peaks of the waves); such wood would be difficult to plane, and would be likely to twist and warp; no wonder Coast Live Oak has no commercial value except as firewood.
Scientific Name: Acinonyx jubatus jubatus
Description : The adult cheetah is covered with small, round or oval spots, scattered singly over most of its body, only the throat and abdomen are unmarked. These solid black spots measure two to three centimetres in diameter. The spot pattern, plus the ring pattern on the tail are unique to each cheetah making each animal distinctive. The spots on the tail merge to form four to six black rings. The tip of the tail is usually a bushy white tuft.
The base coat of fur is a pale buff to a yellowish-tawny colour. They have paler to white coloured throats and abdomens. The fur on the back of the neck forms a ridge which is more prominent in the male, and in cubs. This thicker wiry hair extends over the head, neck and back forming a slight mane. The spots themselves have a longer, softer fur.
Cheetahs have long legs, a small head and ears, a long tail and a lean body. The eyes are set high, and black “tear marks†run from the inside corner of each eye, alongside the nose to the mouth. The pupil of the eye is round. They have non-retractile claws and hard pads. Adult males are larger than the females.
Adults: Head and body: 112 - 135 cm
Tail: 66 - 84 cm
Shoulder height: 70 - 90 cm
Weight: 35 - 65 kg
Distribution : In Africa they are now confined to parts of eastern, central and southwestern Africa.
Habitat : Open and partially open savanna. Any trees, rocky outcrops or termite mounds are used as lookout points. In Namibia they may be found also in mountainous terrain or areas of dense vegetation.
Food : Carnivorous: Diet consists of mainly medium-sized antelope, such as Grant's and Thompson's gazelles, springbok and impala. The young of larger mammals, such as wildebeests and zebras are also taken. Hares, guineafowl and warthogs are also prey animals. They can eat up to 14 kg per day.
Reproduction and Development : Breeding occurs throughout the year, but usually in the dry season, so the cubs will be born in the rainy season. The male will find a female by her scent; they will spend up to a week together and mate several times. The male then leaves and the female will bring up the young alone. Females give birth at intervals of 17 to 20 months; however if the young are lost, the mother may soon mate and bear another litter. She will give birth in an isolated spot behind rocks, under a tree or within tall grasses. The gestation period is 90 to 95 days. Usually two to four cubs are born. Cubs are approximately 30 cm long cubs weigh 150 to 300 grams each at birth. Cubs are born with spots as well as a downy underlying fur that is silver-gray in color, called a mantel that covers the top of the head, the base of the neck, and extends to the mid-back. The mother will move the cubs to several times to avoid predators.
Cub development: at 4 to 11 days the eyes open; at two weeks teeth start to come in and they start to walk; at three to four weeks they eat regurgitated food; at six weeks they start to follow the mother on hunts; at three months they are weaned; at four months the adult coat starts to come in; at nine months they are nearly full size and can outrun predators; at 10 to11 months adult teeth are in place; at 15 months the cheetah is full size and they start to wander from the mother; at 21 to 22 months they attain sexual maturity. The young stay with the mother for up to two years. There is about 50% mortality among cubs in their first year. Cheetahs live up to 12 years in the wild and up to 19 years in captivity.
Adaptations : It is the world’s fastest land animal over short distances. The cheetah is specialized for speed through many adaptations. It is endowed with a powerful heart, lungs with a greater oxygen capacity then other cats, enlarged nostrils and sinuses, oversized liver, and large, strong arteries. It has a small head, flat face and reduced muzzle length allowing the large eyes to be positioned for maximum binocular vision. Its body is narrow and lightweight with long, slender feet and legs, and specialized muscles, which act simultaneously for high acceleration and allowing greater swing to the limbs. Its hip and shoulder girdles swivel on a flexible spine that curves up and down (acts like a spring), as the limbs are alternately bunched up and then extended when running, giving greater reach to the legs. The cheetah’s long and muscular tail acts as a stabilizer, or rudder, for balance to counteract its body weight preventing it from rolling over and spinning out in quick, fast turns during a high-speed chase.
The cheetah has blunt non-retractile claws that help grip the ground for traction when running. Their paws are less rounded than the other cats, and their pads are hard to help them in fast, sharp turns. Cheetahs can reach a maximum speed of 80 to112 km/h which can be maintained for a few hundred metres. Chases usually last for about 20 seconds, rarely more than one minute. The cheetah does not ambush its prey or approach it within springing distance, but instead stalks the animals, then charges from about 70 to100 metres away. If an animal is overtaken, it is usually knocked down by the force of the cheetah’s charge or hooked by the cat’s dewclaw and then seized by the throat and strangled.
Teeth are small to accommodate large nasal passages and due to the smaller teeth, the bite is restricted. The cheetah must protect its kill from predators, such as hyenas and lions, and so will try to drag it into a tree or bush. They kill an average of one animal every other day and eat as much as they can at once, then scavengers such as vultures and jackals, will clean up the rest. They will only eat prey which it has killed itself (in the wild) and will not consume carrion. Cheetahs hunt during the day (diurnal), usually early morning or late afternoon, when the temperatures are cooler.
Some males live together in groups of two or three, often up to 300 km from where they were born. They will hunt together and defend their territory. Other males are solitary and tend to be nomadic. Females usually live on their own, stay closer to their birth area and are not as territorial as males. They do not roar, but do purr and make chirps, hiss, growl, and whine. The coat colour and spots are good camouflage in the grasses of the savanna, enabling it to remain hidden from both prey and predators. The black tear lines may prevent the sun from reflecting into the eyes.
Threats to Survival : Hunting by man for their beautiful furs and for trophies, as well as in retaliation for killing domestic stock has largely depleted their numbers. In Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, cheetahs are harassed, and preyed upon, by lions, leopards, hunting dogs, and hyenas which steal the cheetah's food and also kill the cubs. Snakes are also a threat to the cubs left alone while the mother goes hunting. The cubs will starve if the mother cannot get enough meat. Living in an open grassland environment means that only 5% of Africa below the Sahara Desert is suitable. They need a large territory with high numbers of prey species, which are declining due to hunting by people and prime habitat being developed into towns and farms. Roads disrupt the habitats and divide their territories, which leads to a lack of genetic flow. The ever increasing human population is a threat. Habitat loss also contributes to their vulnerability to the larger predators.

Goldstone is one of three complexes around the world known as the Deep Space Network (DSN) established to provide the ability to communicate with spacecraft; not only in orbit around the earth, but also in the farther reaches of our solar system. The Deep Space Network complexes, placed 120° apart, provide constant communication with spacecraft as the Earth rotates. In determining the exact position for the site in California, a remote location, free from radio signal interference, was needed. The remote location of the Mojave Desert in California, near the old mining town of Goldstone, was determined to be an optimal location and in 1958 the first antenna was built. Facilities near Madrid, Spain and Canberra, Australia complete the Deep Space Network providing 360 degree coverage for spacecraft tracking.

Original caption: Large craters, like this 50-kilometer diameter one, can uplift material from below and form a mountain-like central peak. Craters of this size on Mars become unstable as they form and collapse due to gravity. Craters with central peaks and terraced rims are referred to as "complex" craters.
Geologists study these central peaks because the uplifted bedrock was once deep within the Martian crust. A 3D perspective shows heavily-fractured bedrock exposed within the peak, and also dark-toned and fragmental rocks that formed during the impact process.
Sometimes, we observe similar rocks in the crater wall terraces. Some areas of the terrace show dark-toned materials coating and surrounding the white- and green-colored bedrock. This dark-toned rock was the once-molten material that was produced by the tremendous energy generated during the formation of the crater. Similarly, the impact melt material coats and surrounds the higher-standing bedrock of the peak. There are additional exposures of bedrock in the northern wall-terraces of the crater.
Previous HiRISE images have focused largely on central structures, but clearly the wall-terraces of these craters may also be informative in our exploration of the Martian subsurface.
The map is projected here at a scale of 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) per pixel. [The original image scale is 25.8 centimeters (10.2 inches) per pixel (with 1 x 1 binning); objects on the order of 77 centimeters (30.3 inches) across are resolved.] North is up.

This badge is only small – just 30 millimetres in diameter – but that does not lessen its importance as a social document.
Issued by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in 1983 as both a fund-raiser and an awareness-raiser, it was sold in London’s Hyde Park on 22 October to those who had taken part in a march held by the organisation on that day.
The march, which started on the Embankment at Charing Cross and ended at a rally in the park, was the largest event CND had ever organised.
The badge shows the famous CND emblem, created out of the semaphore signals for the letters N and D, accompanied by the words ‘Oct. 22. I was there’ and an upraised arm representing a demonstrator eager to be counted. It was part of a campaign that had included stickers and posters released in the months leading up to the march with the message ‘Oct. 22. Where will you be?’
Such was their radical nature that, according to reports, some of the posters that appeared on the underground were removed by London Transport officials who wrongly assumed that they were illegal fly-posters rather than elements of an advertising campaign paid for by the organisers.
This particular badge was presented to the British Museum in November 1983 by the individual who had acquired it in Hyde Park the previous month. It is one of several thousand modern badges in the Museum’s collection, which include some three hundred peace badges from the UK. The earliest of these British peace badges are from the years directly after the foundation of CND in 1958, but the majority date from the 1980s, when CND enjoyed a resurgence as a result of the Conservative government’s pro-nuclear policy, which included the decision to deploy US nuclear weapons in Britain.
The badge was intended to form a record of a personal contribution to a political movement. As part of the collections of the British Museum, it has become a record of a moment in history. The Museum’s badges can be seen by appointment in the Dept of Coins and Medals study room. Contact coins@britishmuseum.org.

Sunset at the Parkes Radiotelescope.
Parkes Observatory, New South Wales.
The 64 metre diameter dish is mounted on a building less than 30 metres high, so it can only tilt down to an angle of about 60 degrees from vertical. During the Apollo moon missions, Parkes was used as a relay station for communications from the moon. But at times the moon's elevation from Parkes was within 30 degrees of the horizon. They solved the problem by digging a trench around the telescope where the dish would hit the ground, so that it could be lowered an extra few degrees. The trench was filled in after Apollo. I learnt this during my summer vacation job here, observing pulsars.
The Norcon pillbox was made from a concrete pipe 6ft in diameter and 4ft high, the walls were 4in of non-reinforced concrete with several cut loopholes. The pipe would be sunk into the ground over a pit that would provide a total of 6ft headroom.
The standard model had a roof made of timber, corrugated iron, and earth. Some installations were fitted with a concrete roof, others had no roof at all. The walls were given extra protection by a layer of sandbags and the exit may be via an open roof, through a hatch in the roof or through a low entrance cut into the pipe to a slit trench.
Norcon was not the only company to design a defence made from pipes. A similar design was the Croft pillbox developed by the Croft Granite, Brick and Concrete Company. However, the Norcon was by far the most common and gave its name to the general type.
Norcon Ltd was a small company specialising in the manufacture of large spun concrete pipes. In 1938, they were looking for new ways to market their products, the company experimented with producing air raid shelters. Although this venture does not appear to have been very successful, at least one very small and cramped Norcon shelter has recently been found.
In July 1940, as Norcons were being installed, one officer raised concerns after one pipe section had broken while being rolled into position and an installed Norcon had not stood up well to a concentrated burst of machine gun fire. Concerns of these sorts have understandably led to the Norcon being regarded as ''possibly the most dangerous, cheap and nasty of all pillbox designs'' certainly, it cannot have offered the protection equivalent to a conventional reinforced concrete pillbox, but according to the Chief Engineer of Eastern Command ''it would appear to be considerably better than many sandbag emplacements under construction.''
The pipe was made from a high alumina fondue cement which set quickly, making it possible to turn out about 20 units a day. Also, the fondue cement cured quickly reaching a strength in 24hrs for which Portland cement required 28 days to set. Although relatively few were actually built, Norcons were found all over the United Kingdom, from southwest England to the Orkney Islands.
The holding company Bowmaker purchased a controlling interest in Norcon Limited in 1943 and Norcon managed to show a profit, the company prospered after the end of hostilities.

McConnell started pottery in Brisbane in 1948, where he studied at the Central Technical College (assisting Hatton Beck 1901-1994) and became instructor of painting and carving from 1952-1954. His first studio was set up at Norman Park in 1954. Five years later, in 1959, he opened up the "Pinjarra Pottery", where he produced a wide variety of Japanese influenced stoneware items. McConnell was one of the first potters in Australia to do so and it is in this respect that he became influential to many studio potters of the 1970s and 1980s. His honours include a Fellowship of Brisbane advanced Education and a doctorate for the Arts at Queensland University of Technology, as well as Medal of the Order of Australia (granted 2004), for service to the arts as a ceramic artist and teacher of the craft.
With a diameter of 100 meters, the Radio Telescope Effelsberg is one of the largest fully steerable radio telescopes on earth. Since operations started in 1972, the technology has been continually improved (i.e. new surface for the antenna-dish, better reception of high-quality data, extremely low noise electronics) making it one of the most advanced modern telescopes worldwide.
The telescope is employed to observe pulsars, cold gas- and dust clusters, the sites of star formation, jets of matter emitted by black holes and the nuclei (centres) of distant far-off galaxies.
Effelsberg is an important part of the worldwide network of radio telescopes. The combination of different telescopes in interferometric mode makes possible to obtain the sharpest images of the universe.

The telescope may receive radio signals from a distance of up to 12bn light years. Together with a radio telescope in the US (Green Bank, Virginia), it is the largest radio telescope in the world.
The photos show the telescope at different angles because it was turning quite a bit during our visit.
