Firstly, these are not wasps but hoverflies. They are both males as you can tell from the close-together eyes and even though they look similar they are different species. The one on the left is a Syrphus, characterised by having long "underarm hair" or long hairs on the dorsal surface of the squama as the experts say. You'd have the examine the wings with a microscope to distinguish the species. The fly on the right is a Eupeodes corollae, another common British species. I thought it was another Syrphus but Ian Andrews (an expert in the Facebook UK Hoverflies group) explained that Syrphus have a fringe of long yellow and dark hairs around the edge of the abdomen on Tergites 3 and 4 (ie the tops of the 3rd and 4th segments of the body), whereas Eupeodes like this one have just a very short, dark fringe. I'm sure there are other difference too. Can you spot them?

People has a lot of differences.
Some of them prefer to live on the ground.
Some of them grasp the ladder.

Yes a photo taken somewhere different in the house. You'll be interested to hear (or most like not) that I'm running out of photos to post 😞 Things are also potentially afoot that may curb the amount of time I get to spend looking like this, we shall see. Anyhoo this combined with my current allergy fest has put paid to any me time in the last week or so. Hopefully my allergies have turned the corner in the past couple of days and might result in some opportunities later in the week. In the meantime this pic is from the heady days at the beginning of May when all was right with the McMinn world 😉.
Slight differences in fiood interests between different regions, even in the same area of the United States, fascinate me.
The farmer's market near my in-laws' in New Jersey is smaller than the one near me, but you can see the Italian influences immediately by the one stand has more varieties of eggplant than it seems like we have varieties of vegetables. Lots of Italian specialties, too, like stuffed breads and homemade mozzerella. Yum.
Happy Purple Tuesday
There are parts I really like and some that I'm not so sure of, but I spent a lot of time working with it and I just couldn't trash it. It's my first foray into textures. I hope it's not too awful. Constructive criticism always, always welcome :)
Scroll down a bit for the original.
Thank you to Stuck in Customs textures.
Well, I was worried when I saw the first IRL pics of the new Adele 1.0 that she didn't look like her promo shots... But I needn't have worried! In fact I like the slight questioning, almost fierce look that my doll has 😍 She's AWESOME!!! 💗💗💗
India, South Indian Heritage Food, Dosa with four chutneys,
From left to right, Coconut Pottu Kadalai chutney, red onion chutney, coriander leaves chutney & tomato chutney.
These fresh chutneys, which differences from the generally known chutneys of not only the taste & structure, they last less than one hour & have to be permanently prepared fresh, therefore the taste is delicious.
"Masala Dosa" was quoted in the top ten tasty foods of the world in 2012,
....... & I love Dosa with its chutneys.
Dosa, Dosé, Dosai, or in Singapore it’s called Thosai;
Paper-thin like a crêpe but crispy baked only on one side, the thin upper side while baking on the cast iron griddle plate becomes soft & spongy. Made from an overnight fermented batter, prepared with rice & black lentils. A thin layer of the batter ladled onto a hot "Tava", the griddle plate, greased with oil or ghee, the Indian type of clarified butter & spread evenly on the hot griddle plate with the base of a ladle or bowl to form a round disc.
Dosas are served hot & always baked "à la minute", either folded in half or rolled like a wrap, stuffed with vegetarian food, served with sambar or chutneys.
The ubiquitous Indian dish Dosa has its origins in Udipi, a city in the Tulunadu region in Karnataka, a state in the southwestern region of India. From here Dosas spread all over south India & each region created its particular style.
A traditional Dosa is the Masala Dosa, stuffed with a kind of spiced potato stew, served with onion & coconut chutney. Other popular variations are the Kal Dosa, backed thick like a spongy pancake or the Rawa Dosa, made with Rava, semolina, it does not need fermentation & is usually considered a snack or fast food & not stuffed.
Udupi cuisine forms an important part of Tuluva-Mangalorean cuisine & comprises dishes made primarily from vegetables, grains, beans & fruits, the variety & range of dishes is wide, a trademark of the cuisine comprises the use of locally available ingredients.
"Saaru", a spicy pepper water, is a necessary part of the menu, so are jackfruit, colocasia leaves, green bananas, pickled salty mango & red chillies. "Ajadinas", dry curries or stir-fry curries & chutneys, including one made of the skin of the ridge gourd, are just some specialities of the south Indian Cuisine, unfortunately barely served in the western world restaurants & the therefore hardly known.

Many countries have armies of all different shapes and sizes. Some have only small defensive armies, while others have larger more readily available armies. The difference between major nations and minor nations is that the major nations continuously develop and field new vehicles and equipment, while minor nations simple buy older and even obsolete vehicles from major nations. The percentage of each countries military budget inevitably goes towards some form of research for new vehicles, not all of which make it past the drawing board. There are many reasons for this, such as, too expensive, too complex to build, mechanically unreliable, too heavy or too light, or there is simply no real demand for such a vehicle, plus many more. However, the worst reason that a tank never makes it beyond the drawing board, no matter it's potential, is political interference.
There is an established hierarchy in the Tarakian military, made up of long serving loyalists, decorated military personnel, and people with family connections. Although this cohort have served the nation well, they are often criticized of being stubborn, inflexible, unopen to change, and stuffy. For some time, there has been a growing dissatisfaction with the way the upper echelon of Tarakian military is comprised. A new, younger, more progressive generation have been growing support in favour of change, not aggressive change, but a reform on how major decisions in the military are made. A push for a wider group collective, rather than a cabal of cigar smokers deciding among themselves in their reclusive corridors of power.
The Established, and the Progressives. The Established, eager to maintain the status quo and of the mindset that you don't fix what isn't broken. The Progressives, understanding that if you follow a set military doctrine for long enough, eventually someone will study it and find a way around it. Knowing the Established would never freely relinquish an inch of power, the Progressives knew they had to formulate a plan to take it. Even though the Progressives don't have the power to sway final decisions, they do hold considerable power when it comes to initiating research and testing, with the final say on production being left to higher powers. Their plan was to put forward a vehicle that on paper, would be easy for the Established to dismiss, and then use it to prevent the Progressives from putting forward such projects in the future. The Progressives were betting on the Established being complacent and arrogant about the situation, and not fully appreciating the situation. Research and testing can be initiated by the Progressives, so there was nothing the Established could do to prevent this.
During testing, it quickly became apparent that the Established had underestimated the Progressives, and their project. The new tank, named Onyx, not only passed all tests, but surpassed them by a margin the Established would be unable to dismiss. Scrambling for a way to save face, and to prevent the Onyx from making it to production, a tank they see as too aggressive for a purely defensive army, the Established reluctantly concede just enough power to the Progressives on the condition that the Onyx doesn't make it beyond testing. However, knowing they have the upper hand, and could push the Onyx into production, the Progressives accept the deal, with the condition that a set number of production batches will be run, and small regiments of Onyx tanks will be given to front line battalions. The Established, knowing they have no choice but to agree, and concede certain future decision making powers.
Though the tank is rather large, space inside is quite limited. Due to the unusual design of the vehicle, it has a rather shallow hull, which therefore limits overall internal space. At least one third of the vehicles internal space is taken up by the engine and gearbox, with the remaining space being taken up by the crew, gun, and ammunition. The unique shape of the tank comes from it's unusual design, where a SafeShell system is encased in heavily angled, bolt on composite armour. The nose section of the tank is made entirely from composite armour, and is impenetrable to all known anti tank projectiles.
The onyx is intended to be used as a heavy breakthrough tank that will spearhead armoured assaults. Taking advantage of a combination of impenetrable frontal hull armour, immense engine power, the stability from the double track pod system, and a fully stabilised 130mm auto loaded gun. The idea is to overwhelm the enemy with firepower and speed. Even though the tank weighs in at 72tons, it has the mobility and speed of a medium tank. This incredible performance comes from the 2200hp engine and the double track pod system, which gives excellent off road acceleration and maneuvering. Due to having four sets of tracks, the tank has unmatched weight distribution, which allows it operate in terrain that any other tank of this weight would get bogged down. This gives the Onyx unique tactical options that any other tank of it's weight simply wouldn't have.
The gun is the same 130mm found on Ares MkII main battle tank, but has been heavily modified to work in conjunction with a new auto loading system, and a new stabilizer. A bore extractor and a new muzzle break have been added in combination with the 6-rounds per minute firing rate. With internal space at a premium, the Onyx can only carry a meager 36 rounds, of which only the ammunition stored in the turret are stored in blow out compartments. The Onyx only carries one type of ammunition, which is an APDSFS round with 750mm of penetration. A firing rate of six rounds per minute can be achieved thanks to the completely automatic loading system. Two 20mm auto-cannons are located on either side of the main gun, which are intended for enemy infantry, since the tank carries no high explosive rounds. A roof mounted .50 machine gun can be controlled from the commanders control panel.
Due to the rather flat design of the hull, no existing engine would be suitable without a protrusion either on the bottom, or top of the tank, so a new engine had to be designed. A micro fusion reaction was initially considered, but after some number crunching, the price per unit became unjustifiable. Although reluctant to design an entirely new engine, approval was granted for testing, and a prototype multi fuel engine capable of producing 2200hp was produced. Unfortunately, due to the torque produced by such a powerful engine, a new gearbox had to be designed to cope with the stress, and to accommodate the track pod system.
Space inside the tank is limited to such a degree that there isn't even room for fuel tanks, however this turned out to be a blessing for the design. Eight individual fuel tanks are housed in the superstructure of the track pods, four per side. Having the fuel tanks exposes them to potential damage in combat, and even though they're only protected by 50mm of armour in either side, each tank has it's own fuel cut off system. Additionally, the fuel tanks as a whole are safeguarded by a sophisticated fire prevention system, which rapidly fills the damaged tank with an inert expanding foam that instantly douses any flames in the event of a breech to any tank and a subsequent fire.
Due to the unusual design of the hull, limited internal space, and the front nose section being comprised entirely of composite armour, the drivers position is in the turret basket, meaning that he rotates when the turret does. This placement was unavoidable, and caused several of the test drivers to experience motion sickness due to the changeable orientation. The Onyx has a crew of four, including a commander, gunner, driver, and a loader.

Some hands worth a millions
Some hands sacrificed for the civilization
Some hands are not just hands
And that is the differences.
Captured from a silver factory. The normal hand is mine and the stained one belongs to a worker of that silver factory.
This was the only tree with pink flowers while others had white flowers though it does not mean this type is peculiar.

Allan Ellerby `said :
The curse of enforced polarised thought that leads to
woolly straight jackets for the children.
This is the ball of the moment.
No other ball will do.
If you throw a seemingly identical Lacrosse Ball, he knows the difference.
He'll dutifully bring the errant ball back to you, but then set off on a hunt for the RIGHT ball.
It's amusing to take the ball-of-the-moment and put it in a pile with other balls, and watch his nose work to sort out The One.
Daily Dog Challenge 2728. "Special"
Our Daily Challenge - Apr 27, 2019: "Begins with the letter T"
T is for Tongue!
The pup would retrieve until he dropped, so I watch his tongue closely and "get distracted with other things" when it starts to get long or curl at the tip.
When it flattens back out and "shrinks" I'll toss the ball again.
Not that he WANTS me to do that, and will often find ways to keep moving even when I really want him to chill for a few minutes.
If all else fails, there's always the hose. The pup loves water - my floor less so.

First of a series of test shots playing with a new toy.
Boring location and not great lighting, but just had to share. Taken at lunch this day.
As the evening began to kick in the pair of Stone Curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus insularum) got more active, giving some stunning views in the process, in stark contrast to the distant views we can get of the ones that breed in the UK.
It was even possible to see the subtle differences between the male and female they were so close
Ok so I took an almost exact same shot a week ago of the same E400 but what's changed...?
If you want to cheat here is my other shot -

backlit pictures of these two models which for some reason I haven't shared before.
I think that the pictures in the bottom very clearly show that bothe patterns are very much the same :-)
