PMT SN810, a Weymann bodied AEC Reliance dating from 1960

More than 100 Soldiers, Civilians, Retirees and Family Members joined Korean volunteers today for the second annual Humphreys Make a Difference Day at Deog Dong San Park in Pyeongtaek.

The volunteers spent the morning picking up trash, raking leaves and conducting beautification projects under the watchful eyes of the Pyeongtaek City Parks and Greenbelt Management Division.

Following the work the volunteers enjoyed lunch, a performance by the ShinHan Middle School traditional dance team and a post-work awards ceremony.

Two ex-London exiles meet at York rail station, with some 20 years age difference between them....

New to Harris Bus (London) as 362, Volvo Olympian East Lancs Pyoneer R362 DJN came north when purchased by Reliance Motor Services. More recently it was bought from Reliance by York Pullman and moved about a mile or two down the road to the Strensall depot for use on a Huntington school service. Having been replaced by low floor double deckers, this has more recently been seen running Fulford School contracts and on the private plate of NXI 4241.... however this bus is now for sale and has reverted back to its original reg as the private plate now resides on an ex-London Gemini. Today it is running a contract for the University of York open day, which has been the last chance for ordinary members of the public to have a trip on these Olympians before they leave the fleet (it is unlikely they'll still be around when the next open day comes along).

Next to it on service 1 for Chapelfields is Wright Gemini 2HEV integral hybrid LK58 ECV

Cassie Nova, the Nova's good clone in DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires2018

 

I notice as I was looking through my characters photos, my MC(Main Character): William, his CG (Covergirl) wife: Wilma Sue and his MA (Main Antagonist): Victor all have a copy of themselves except for BCG ("Bad" CoverGirl) Nova who did not have one.

 

I decided to alter my character list and create Cassie Nova.

Her story,

 

Cassie Nova is the results of a fail attempt by Nova to have a "back-up" baby from Victor when she was a teen. The attempt fail creating a nonfunctioning embryo.

 

Royce, the father of my MA, when correcting Nova's body before her second battle with Victor's fiancée, created the baby clone of Nova from the dysfunctional embryo(A body replacement in case she failed to win).

 

Note: Royce's powers are equivalent to Marvel Comic's "Cosmic Cube" at the cost of losing much of his life force. EVERY time he exerts the power it shortens his life span.

 

When Nova left Earth, Nova's parents raised the baby after they were granted custody of the embryo.

 

Nova would later travel back in time, WITH PERMISSION, to visit her parents. When Nova learned of the teenage Cassie, Cassie was kidnapped by Nova from her "parents".

 

Failing to convert Cassie to join her "sister" and not having the heart to kill "herself", Nova gives Cassie to my MC's forces because Cassie was missing and NEVER found in the 24th Century(She cannot be returned to that timeline).

 

Cassie's first name comes from a maternal second cousin who paid for the original Nova's schooling.

 

We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.

 

With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.

 

We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.

 

We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.

 

We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.

 

Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw.

 

Both are Medium Violet color bricks.

But these seem to like different colors.

Very fine color unevenness....

Make the difference!

I recently became aware of major differences in viewing on Flickr. I have an iMac and use Safari as my browser. When I view it using Firefox the contrast is lost, as is the resolution and a changed color balance (reduced reds). I have no idea what it looks like on a PC. I've submitted this one which is way "cranked" regarding contrast, saturation (especially the reds), and sharpening (high pass filter plus USM).

 

I'm submitting this so I can again check out how it appears on the web using a "universal" browser. However, I still won't know what it looks like on a PC. So..................

 

If you like it, enough to comment, please note the computer and browser you used to view it, and how much "pop" it has. Is there any cyan in the sky? Is the bark too red? Is shadow detail preserved? (Also, if you do have a Mac, please add any tips, settings etc., you use in preparing material for the web.)

This illustrates the rather dramatic difference between the dark- and light-blue amber fluorescence excited by a 368nm LED. Amongst all the amber I have examined (50 or so pieces), only one exhibited this dark blue response.

 

The dark blue spectrum resembles those of condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

 

It has been suggested that the origin of the blue fluorescence in 'blue amber' is perylene. See

 

scitation.aip.org/getpdf/servlet/GetPDFServlet?filetype=p...

 

This amber can fluoresce blue in sunlight and is found in the Dominican Republic where it is called Dominican Blue Amber.

 

Thee blue PAH fluorescence has been seen in a circumstellar nebula:

Craftivism: Making a Difference in the World~ One Stitch at a Time

 

KnitLit group, spring 2011 Haverstraw Middle School, Haverstraw, NY

  

People are doing it. They are doing it on subways, in restaurants and on airplanes. They are doing it in baseball stadiums, movie theaters and in the park. They are doing Craftivism and everywhere you turn you can find people of all ages, races, creeds and religions participating in what has become a global phenomenon of making the world a better place- one stitch at a time.

 

The term “craftivism”, hybrid of the words craft + activism, was coined in 2003 by creator and knitter, Betsy Greer. It is a movement based upon the idea that a person’s time and talent can really make a difference in the world. Most craftivists are knitters and crocheters looking to find different and more meaningful ways to share their craft and it is being used to bring attention to a multitude of causes. Craftivists help to bring about positive change in the world through their skills.

 

Some of the causes targeted in the craftivism movement are environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-sweatshop, anti-war a well as various personal causes such as breast cancer awareness, literacy, homelessness, domestic violence and children born into poverty. Knitters and crocheters around the world participate in covert “yarn-bombing” escapades, mimicking graffiti street art only with hand knitted fabrics sewn around trees, light poles and statues using their art to beautify the things around them.

 

It is here that I introduce you to New Yorker Betsy Rodman, a fellow knitter and craftivist. Betsy is the founder of Project Scarf. Project Scarf is bringing knitters from all over the world to join in creating the world’s longest scarf. Separate sections of knitted scarves are sent in to and assembled by Betsy to form a larger scarf. What does one do with the world’s longest scarf, you might ask? When the project is complete, the sections will be disassembled and the individual scarves are distributed to various organizations to provide to help keep warm those who have little.

 

Betsy also founded the KnitLit program in her local school. This program teaches kids the skill of knitting. Squares are knitted and sewn together to form blankets which are also distributed to those in need. The kids involved in the program choose where to donate. However, this ain’t your grandma's knitting bee- these kids also listen to great books on audio and discuss them as they are knitting. Betsy has had tremendous success in her school and hopes to one day be able to bring KnitLit to schools across the nation. I got to ask Betsy a few questions about herself and her programs.

Make up your Mind to Make a Difference

We’ve made up our mind to make a difference and unleashing human potential is our mission. Here’s how we do it…The Philanthropy of TheDOJO through Project Based Leadership Training. If someone is looking to make a difference in our world a simple start is performing an act of kindness for a child (most likely it will be remember throughout their life). Donate a toy with us this holiday season, see how below.

 

20,000 Smiles

Last year TheDOJO Toy Drive raised 230 toys for Toys for Tots, a military organization who distributes the toys to children who are without. Last year 20,000 toys were handed out, that equates to 20,000 smiles of children. What better way to instill a sense of hope in a child’s heart than through compassion? Toys for Tots also donates, all throughout the year, toys to children in our locality that are victims of disasters such as storms and house fires.

They had a replica difference engine in the lobby.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities

 

Model: Anna Poulakou

Percent difference calculator equals the absolute value of the change in value, divided by the average of the 2 numbers, all multiplied by 100. We then append the percent sign, %.Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value. The figures are arrived at by comparing the initial (or before) and final (or after) quantities according to a specific formula. It is assumed that both the initial and the final quantities are positive (larger than 0).

Scratches (calico) is 6.5 cm tall from the toes, to the ears. Boo is 4.5 cm tall. So tiny!

Between this and the previous shot.

There were 225 feral cats at the free Feral Cat Clinic on Sunday. A big difference from the last clinic of 145 cats. There were only 2-3 Vets working this time. The shortage of Vets actually caused them to leave 20 cats for the next day. I think that was a first.

It was chaos.

I got there at 8:00am, and my 2 Tomcats were counted as numbers 97 and 98.

 

I was so excited that I got them trapped!

The night before, I set 3 traps.

The whacky little red dude trapped himself 3 times! I kept having to let him out and re-set the traps! I even thought that maybe I should leave him in one of the traps, just to keep him out of the way! But I didn't because I was afraid he'd make so much racket that he'd scare the others away! So, instead, I kept playing this goofy game with him.

 

Simon and Ruben kept sniffing the open trap doors. I thought for sure that one of them would trigger the trap door, but they didn't. I finally got so much food in the 2 of them, that they were satisfied to leave the traps alone.

 

I left my post at the window, and after about 30 minutes, I went back to check thge status of the traps. Giddy Girl was trapped and having a fit, while Ruben sniffed the trap, looking at her sister like she must be some kind of idiot to get locked inside!

I let the Giddy Girl loose, and I hoped she wouldn't alert the 2 Tomcats I was after. The black Tomcat is Giddy Girl's special sweetheart. He's very wild, and I think he's responsible for keeping her so distant.

 

Ruben's seemingly favorite Tomcat, that cute fluffy brownish boy, came around hungry, but avoided the traps.

I had removed all other food except the food in the trap, so if anyone else was eating this night, they'd be caught for sure.

After about an hour or two, I decided to give up watching. That's when I saw the cute fluffy boy trapped! I was so excited! And Ruben was sniffing his trap. I kept telling her, "Oh My Goodness! Look who's gonna' be fixed!!!"

Taken at Murrays Run, NSW. With The colours in the trees changing, they make for great photos. I shot this spot last year and its always good to see the difference between then and now. I shot this just after the sun rose and this tree i thought was cool because of the pieces of wood lying next to it. I'm not sure why they were there but the mix of those and the yellow and red leaves looked cool.

Comparing Short with Long Choy Sum.

 

For a batch of 400 gram Choy Sum:

1. Stirfry some chopped garlic, ginger & chiles. (a teaspoon each)

2. Add Choy Sum and strirfry for a minute or so. (I blanched the stems for a minute first, but I actually think it's not necessary.

3. Add mixture of

½ T cornstarch

½ T light soysauce

½ T oystersauce

½ T fishsauce

3 T water

 

Didn't notice much difference it taste, just in texture. The long version being more watery like bokchoy.

Brian worked for Aonghas the wizard, who lived in the small town of Blackberry Bushes, which was located ten miles away from the royal city of Bramble Patch. People from the city often came to Aonghas for medicine, and occasionally advice. He was known amongst the populace to be a wise but eccentric old man who knew many magical things, and had many potent remedies for the various afflictions that the townsfolk were sometimes troubled with. His laboratory was filled with amazing contraptions and wonderful shiny little objects which wowed any visitor. He also had a pet owl named Tylluan, who was very fond of Brian.

 

Even though people knew him as a wizard, in reality he didn't really know any "magic" of the supernatural sort at all. All his medicinal potions were derived from years of study of herbs and roots, and the contraptions he invented were based on sound engineering and scientific principles.

 

His crystal ball was an inverted fishbowl which covered a series of mechanical switches. It was part of a larger, complex mechanical device which Aonghas called a "difference engine" which could be used for calculation. When the machine was fed a mathematical problem, the answer would be represented by the clickety-clicking of the switches in the fishbowl, the meaning of which only Aonghas understood. The bowl wasn't entirely necessary for the machine, but old Aonghas liked keeping up the appearance of owning a mystical crystal ball in which he could see things and find answers.

 

For most people, all this seemed like either insane jibberish or arcane magic. Even though Aonghas was well-liked, nobody except Brian paid the slightest attention to him when he starts rambling about his esoteric interests. Therefore, Aonghas took Brian as his apprentice and trained him for as much as Brian's short attention span would allow. It was Aonghas's hope that one day he would develop an interest of his own in mathematics and herbology and engineering, and perhaps write a thesis on something along those lines.

 

However, all that came out of Brian was poetry. He was a helpful fellow though, so Aonghas continued to pay him as an assistant, even if all he does is carry heavy objects, sweep the laboratory occasionally and follow Aonghas on field trips.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) held an event under the theme 'Sports together for a united country' at the Juba Basketball stadium on 17th April 2016.

 

UNESCO and UNMISS worked closely with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, the National Olympic Committee, and the Maale Foundation for Heritage Development, to organize this event as a celebration of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.

 

Sport provides an unparalleled opportunity for people to meet, compete and build bonds.

UNESCO, as the United Nation’s lead agency for Physical Education and Sport (PES), promotes sport as a vital medium for peace and development. UNESCO recognizes the practice of sport as an instrument for promoting peace, a powerful vehicle for social integration, economic development, gender equality and youth empowerment, with benefits that are felt far beyond the stadiums. Indeed, the values acquired in and through sport such as fair play and a team spirit, are invaluable to the whole of society since, sports disregards geographical border, ethnic differences and social classes.

 

Since 2013 the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace has honoured sport's role as a vehicle for social inclusion and youth development. This year, UNESCO South Sudan and its partners marked the day by bringing together women’s volleyball teams from Juba town, UNMISS, and the UN Protection of Civilians sites for a friendly tournament at the Juba Basketball Stadium.

 

The sport matches were accompanied by displays of martial arts, children's singing, traditional cultural dances reflecting South Sudan’s cultural diversity as well as peace messages from Mr. Salah Khaled, UNESCO Country Representative and Head of Office, South Sudan, Mr. Eugene Owusu, UNMISS Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the South Sudan National Olympic Committee.

 

In his message for the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, described sports as 'a unique and powerful tool for promoting dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of every member of the human family'.
