My third and final day in Sutherland and I had planned on heading up the magnificent Ben Stack at the head of Loch More. However as the days progressed I had kept one eye on the weather and the forecast for this final day was looking a bit gloomy Shame as it was the winter solstice today and Ben Stack would have been an ideal short outing give the short day ahead (in terms of available daylight!!)
Instead I opted for the final Corbett in the immediate area – Beinn Leoid. As this was probably going to be a bit more of a trek I set the alarm early, struggled out of my warm , cosy sleeping bag and eventually got my kit ready and drove the 500 metres to the start of the hike The mist was down to the glen floor and as I set of my head torch illuminated the water particles in the dark and it felt other worldly. Heading up the well-made stalkers path, ancient, knurled trees revealed themselves out of the darkness and gloom as my ray of light caught their contorted shapes, all really a bit spooky! Up I went and eventually found the light starting to appear. I had thought it would com earlier given the time but the fog bank I was in was blocking any of the residual dawn light hitting me and as I walked higher I started to get above this first bank of fog and found myself in-between layers of cloud as the dawn approached. As light started to reveal a monochrome landscape I was soon reaching the endof the (rather icy) stalkers path and I could see that the next hour was going to be contouring rough ground round the side of the Graham Meallan a’ Chuaill. I had planned on going up here for sunrise to capture some photos but that plan had disappeared as soon as the landscape was revealed to me with the growing light (I should say that the light revealed no landscape but clouds hugging the mountains – hence no views!!).
On a trudged round the side of the hill and I was very relieved to catch a glimpse of Loch Dubh, as I knew another stalkers path awaited me here! A short break at Loch Dubh and the feeling of remoteness was at its height here, it is a lonely place ! rough ground and knowing there aren’t many other humans for miles and miles gives it that wilderness feel, especially with the clag in! Up and over the corrie headwall and the ground conditions eased as the vegetation shortened as I gained height. The white icy rime hat had greeted me on the last two days also materialised and ice coated all vegetation. A light mizzle started to fall and all layers were donned. Head down and onto the summit I went.
With little chance of any views appearing, I did a piece to camera then headed back down the way I had come. I knew I still had a fair bit of rough walking to go and then a 4 hour drive home so I wasn’t hanging about. The rain grew ever more steady as I descended and the icy on the path became even more treacherous when I finally reached it again. The fog had lingered all day in the glen and I got some nice shots before the final descent to the car. Another lovely walk and although no blue skies , the conditions today had their own qualities , sometimes these days are just as rewarding if not more so than the blue sky days….

. . but a fading memory.
Autumn, or Fall for my U.S. cousins, has begun, 22nd/23rd September in astronomical terms, 15th September in solar terms. My thoughts are with my US and European friends as summer fades into autumn and moves into winter.
We're in the last days of our "rainy season" here, ending in October, when our "winter" - if you can call it that - but known as the dry season starts (with November and December), and when night temperatures on high ground can occasionally drop to a light frost.
I hope your summer was a great one.

All were born in Cawston.
On the Day the 1st Norfolks were engaged in the battle of St Julian, (part of 2nd Ypres), which had seen the first use of poison gas on the Western Front.

I can find no reference specifically to the 1st Norfolks on this date, but the 1st Bedfords, in the same Brigade were definitely in the front line and being subject to gas attack.

1901 Census The 10 year old Cecil Civel is living at The Street, Ingworth and is recorded as being at School. There is no place of birth shown for him, but it is likely that it is Martham, the same as his sister
Dora Daymer, (aged 24 and a Draper). Their parents are William, (aged 49 and a Police Pensioner from Cawston), and Emily, (aged 47 and a Grocer from Ingworth).
<On the DayOn 12th October 1915 the Battalion moved from billets to a line in front of the St Elie Quarries, taking over from the Coldstream Guards. The attack was planned to go ahead the following day under a smoke cloud with the Norfolks closing on the German trenches from both ends of their position thus straightening their line, their own trenches being in a semi-circle. The left side of the Battalion was also tasked with bombing a German communications trench. A bright sunny day with an ideal wind for moving the smoke towards the enemy positions, the artillery bombardment began at 12:00 and was intensive by 13:45. 54 heavy and 86 field howitzers and 286 field guns fired on enemy trenches in the area of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, Fosse 8, the Quarries, Gun Trench and the positions south to Chalk Pit Wood. It failed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy positions. The smoke barrage went wrong and ceased by 13:40, twenty minutes before the attack was launched at 14:00 and was thus very thin. German machine gun fire from in front and from the direction of Slag Alley, opposite the Norfolks right flank, enfiladed their attack. Whilst they gained a foothold in the Quarries and consolidated the position they were unable to advance further. In the battalions first serious engagement they lost 5 Officers killed or died of wounds and 6 wounded, and 66 other ranks killed, 196 wounded and 160 missing.

The first action at Gaza took place before dawn on 2 November when the 161st and 162nd Brigades of the 54th Division attacked the Turkish trench system in the sand dunes between Gaza and the sea. On this occasion it was a night attack by well prepared troops with overwhelming artillery support and armoured (six tanks).

9 April-15 May Battle of Arras, including
23-24 April Second Battle of the Scarpe (Second phase of Arras Offensive), 63rd (RN) Division captured Gavrelle
The attack on Gavrelle was commenced on 23 April and was carried out by the 189th and 190th Brigades. At 4.45 a.m. Nelson and Drake battalions went over the top under cover of an artillery barrage. The first line of German trenches was quickly taken, and an hour later the attack was ceased at the edge of the village.
The artillery barrage was relocated across the village, which was reduced to rubble. Other battalions from the brigade were moved forward. House to house fighting led to the taking of Gavrelle, at the cost of 1,500 casualties.
Virtually all the remaining reservists of the original Royal Naval Division lost their lives at Gavrelle. They were the veterans who had survived the fighting at Gallipoli and at the Ancre.

I believe the other children are Jane, Agnes, Stuart and Arthur, but I shall roll my eyes next time I hear someone waffle on about how standards of hand-writing used to be so much better in Victorian times J
On the DayThe 11th Essex had been heavily engaged in holding back the German onslaught of their 1918 Spring Offensive which had commenced on the 21st.

On the Day 19th April 1917 During the 2nd Battle of Gaza,
Facing the Tank Redoubt was the 161st Brigade of the 54th Division. To their right were the two Australian battalions (1st and 3rd) of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who had dismounted about 4,000 yards from their objective. As the infantry went in to attack at 7.30am they were joined by a single tank called "The Nutty" which attracted a lot of shell fire. The tank followed a wayward path towards the redoubt on the summit of a knoll where it was fired on point blank by four field guns until it was stopped and set alight in the middle of the position.
The infantry and the 1st Camel Battalion, having suffered heavy casualties on their approach, now made a bayonet charge against the trenches. About 30 "Camels" and 20 of the British infantry (soldiers of the 5th (territorial Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment) reached the redoubt, then occupied by around 600 Turks who immediately broke and fled towards their second line of defences to the rear.
The British and Australians held on unsupported for about two hours by which time most had been wounded. With no reinforcements at hand and a Turkish counter-attack imminent, the survivors endeavoured to escape back to their own lines.

To the right (west) of Tank Redoubt, the 3rd Camel Battalion, advancing in the gap between two redoubts, actually made the furthest advance of the battle, crossing the Gaza-Beersheba Road and occupying a pair of low hills (dubbed "Jack" and "Jill"). As the advances on their flanks faltered, the "Camels" were forced to retreat to avoid being isolated.

1901 Census The 10 year old Cecil Civel is living at The Street, Ingworth and is recorded as being at School. There is no place of birth shown for him, but it is likely that it is Martham, the same as his sister
Dora Daymer, (aged 24 and a Draper). Their parents are William, (aged 49 and a Police Pensioner from Cawston), and Emily, (aged 47 and a Grocer from Ingworth).
<On the DayOn 12th October 1915 the Battalion moved from billets to a line in front of the St Elie Quarries, taking over from the Coldstream Guards. The attack was planned to go ahead the following day under a smoke cloud with the Norfolks closing on the German trenches from both ends of their position thus straightening their line, their own trenches being in a semi-circle. The left side of the Battalion was also tasked with bombing a German communications trench. A bright sunny day with an ideal wind for moving the smoke towards the enemy positions, the artillery bombardment began at 12:00 and was intensive by 13:45. 54 heavy and 86 field howitzers and 286 field guns fired on enemy trenches in the area of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, Fosse 8, the Quarries, Gun Trench and the positions south to Chalk Pit Wood. It failed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy positions. The smoke barrage went wrong and ceased by 13:40, twenty minutes before the attack was launched at 14:00 and was thus very thin. German machine gun fire from in front and from the direction of Slag Alley, opposite the Norfolks right flank, enfiladed their attack. Whilst they gained a foothold in the Quarries and consolidated the position they were unable to advance further. In the battalions first serious engagement they lost 5 Officers killed or died of wounds and 6 wounded, and 66 other ranks killed, 196 wounded and 160 missing.

The first action at Gaza took place before dawn on 2 November when the 161st and 162nd Brigades of the 54th Division attacked the Turkish trench system in the sand dunes between Gaza and the sea.

The attack on Gavrelle was commenced on 23 April and was carried out by the 189th and 190th Brigades. At 4.45 a.m. Nelson and Drake battalions went over the top under cover of an artillery barrage. The first line of German trenches was quickly taken, and an hour later the attack was ceased at the edge of the village.
The artillery barrage was relocated across the village, which was reduced to rubble. Other battalions from the brigade were moved forward. House to house fighting led to the taking of Gavrelle, at the cost of 1,500 casualties.
Virtually all the remaining reservists of the original Royal Naval Division lost their lives at Gavrelle. They were the veterans who had survived the fighting at Gallipoli and at the Ancre.

His wife had re-married, and was now living at Aldborough, but Charles is buried in the Churchyard of St Giles, Colby, Norfolk. Charles is on the Colby War Memorial. He had served as a Pioneer in the Royal Engineers.

On the Day 19th April 1917 During the 2nd Battle of Gaza,
Facing the Tank Redoubt was the 161st Brigade of the 54th Division. To their right were the two Australian battalions (1st and 3rd) of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who had dismounted about 4,000 yards from their objective. As the infantry went in to attack at 7.30am they were joined by a single tank called "The Nutty" which attracted a lot of shell fire. The tank followed a wayward path towards the redoubt on the summit of a knoll where it was fired on point blank by four field guns until it was stopped and set alight in the middle of the position.
The infantry and the 1st Camel Battalion, having suffered heavy casualties on their approach, now made a bayonet charge against the trenches. About 30 "Camels" and 20 of the British infantry (soldiers of the 5th (territorial Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment) reached the redoubt, then occupied by around 600 Turks who immediately broke and fled towards their second line of defences to the rear.
The British and Australians held on unsupported for about two hours by which time most had been wounded. With no reinforcements at hand and a Turkish counter-attack imminent, the survivors endeavoured to escape back to their own lines.

As the advances on their flanks faltered, the "Camels" were forced to retreat to avoid being isolated.

<On the DayOn 12th October 1915 the Battalion moved from billets to a line in front of the St Elie Quarries, taking over from the Coldstream Guards. The attack was planned to go ahead the following day under a smoke cloud with the Norfolks closing on the German trenches from both ends of their position thus straightening their line, their own trenches being in a semi-circle. The left side of the Battalion was also tasked with bombing a German communications trench. A bright sunny day with an ideal wind for moving the smoke towards the enemy positions, the artillery bombardment began at 12:00 and was intensive by 13:45. 54 heavy and 86 field howitzers and 286 field guns fired on enemy trenches in the area of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, Fosse 8, the Quarries, Gun Trench and the positions south to Chalk Pit Wood. It failed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy positions. The smoke barrage went wrong and ceased by 13:40, twenty minutes before the attack was launched at 14:00 and was thus very thin. German machine gun fire from in front and from the direction of Slag Alley, opposite the Norfolks right flank, enfiladed their attack. Whilst they gained a foothold in the Quarries and consolidated the position they were unable to advance further. In the battalions first serious engagement they lost 5 Officers killed or died of wounds and 6 wounded, and 66 other ranks killed, 196 wounded and 160 missing.

The attack on Gavrelle was commenced on 23 April and was carried out by the 189th and 190th Brigades. At 4.45 a.m. Nelson and Drake battalions went over the top under cover of an artillery barrage. The first line of German trenches was quickly taken, and an hour later the attack was ceased at the edge of the village.
The artillery barrage was relocated across the village, which was reduced to rubble. Other battalions from the brigade were moved forward. House to house fighting led to the taking of Gavrelle, at the cost of 1,500 casualties.
Virtually all the remaining reservists of the original Royal Naval Division lost their lives at Gavrelle. They were the veterans who had survived the fighting at Gallipoli and at the Ancre.

This points us to a possible match on the CWGC database - Charles Herbert Lee who was 26 when he died on the 14/11/1918. His wife had re-married, and was now living at Aldborough, but Charles is buried in the Churchyard of St Giles, Colby, Norfolk. Charles is on the Colby War Memorial. He had served as a Pioneer in the Royal Engineers.

On the Day 19th April 1917 During the 2nd Battle of Gaza,
Facing the Tank Redoubt was the 161st Brigade of the 54th Division. To their right were the two Australian battalions (1st and 3rd) of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who had dismounted about 4,000 yards from their objective. As the infantry went in to attack at 7.30am they were joined by a single tank called "The Nutty" which attracted a lot of shell fire. The tank followed a wayward path towards the redoubt on the summit of a knoll where it was fired on point blank by four field guns until it was stopped and set alight in the middle of the position.
The infantry and the 1st Camel Battalion, having suffered heavy casualties on their approach, now made a bayonet charge against the trenches. About 30 "Camels" and 20 of the British infantry (soldiers of the 5th (territorial Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment) reached the redoubt, then occupied by around 600 Turks who immediately broke and fled towards their second line of defences to the rear.
The British and Australians held on unsupported for about two hours by which time most had been wounded. With no reinforcements at hand and a Turkish counter-attack imminent, the survivors endeavoured to escape back to their own lines.

As the advances on their flanks faltered, the "Camels" were forced to retreat to avoid being isolated.

Week 15
This week's prompt was "street photography." This is a type of photography that I have never done before so this was a tough prompt for me. I'm not a huge fan of photographing strangers nor do I really appreciate that type of art like some do. That being said, it was nice to step outside my comfort zone a little bit. I did choose not to include anyone's face as a personal choice though. Surprisingly I was able to get several different photos that I was pleased with. It also helped that I was out of town for work in the Houston, TX area this week and not in my little home town of Charleston, WV where no one walks anywhere.

Video of adventure:
My third and final day in Sutherland and I had planned on heading up the magnificent Ben Stack at the head of Loch More. However as the days progressed I had kept one eye on the weather and the forecast for this final day was looking a bit gloomy Shame as it was the winter solstice today and Ben Stack would have been an ideal short outing give the short day ahead (in terms of available daylight!!)
Instead I opted for the final Corbett in the immediate area – Beinn Leoid. As this was probably going to be a bit more of a trek I set the alarm early, struggled out of my warm , cosy sleeping bag and eventually got my kit ready and drove the 500 metres to the start of the hike The mist was down to the glen floor and as I set of my head torch illuminated the water particles in the dark and it felt other worldly. Heading up the well-made stalkers path, ancient, knurled trees revealed themselves out of the darkness and gloom as my ray of light caught their contorted shapes, all really a bit spooky! Up I went and eventually found the light starting to appear. I had thought it would com earlier given the time but the fog bank I was in was blocking any of the residual dawn light hitting me and as I walked higher I started to get above this first bank of fog and found myself in-between layers of cloud as the dawn approached. As light started to reveal a monochrome landscape I was soon reaching the endof the (rather icy) stalkers path and I could see that the next hour was going to be contouring rough ground round the side of the Graham Meallan a’ Chuaill. I had planned on going up here for sunrise to capture some photos but that plan had disappeared as soon as the landscape was revealed to me with the growing light (I should say that the light revealed no landscape but clouds hugging the mountains – hence no views!!).
On a trudged round the side of the hill and I was very relieved to catch a glimpse of Loch Dubh, as I knew another stalkers path awaited me here! A short break at Loch Dubh and the feeling of remoteness was at its height here, it is a lonely place ! rough ground and knowing there aren’t many other humans for miles and miles gives it that wilderness feel, especially with the clag in! Up and over the corrie headwall and the ground conditions eased as the vegetation shortened as I gained height. The white icy rime hat had greeted me on the last two days also materialised and ice coated all vegetation. A light mizzle started to fall and all layers were donned. Head down and onto the summit I went.
With little chance of any views appearing, I did a piece to camera then headed back down the way I had come. I knew I still had a fair bit of rough walking to go and then a 4 hour drive home so I wasn’t hanging about. The rain grew ever more steady as I descended and the icy on the path became even more treacherous when I finally reached it again. The fog had lingered all day in the glen and I got some nice shots before the final descent to the car. Another lovely walk and although no blue skies , the conditions today had their own qualities , sometimes these days are just as rewarding if not more so than the blue sky days….
Hmmm, the Argentine president is asking the British government to "give [Falkland Islands'] peace a chance."
I thought the Falklands has been peaceful since the end of the war in 1982. Is Argentina seriously threatening another war with Great Britain???
Whether one is pro-Britain or pro-Argentina in the Falkland Islands/ Islas Malvinas dispute, the Argentine president must be on drugs to think that an advertising campaign in Canada would help her cause.
Argentina surrendered to the UK on 1982-06-14, so when this ad appeared on Canada's national and business newspaper The Globe and Mail on 2012-06-14, it's the 30th Anniversary of the end of the military conflict.

It seems mine's one of 79,119 Mercedes ML320 vehicles that may of been affected by faulty welds on the catalytic converters. Interestingly customers of Mercedes Benz in the USA were contacted about this and requested to go into the dealerships to have theirs checked and replaced free of charge if needed.
No letter to me from Mercedes UK?
Models affected:
Serial Number Range:
Model 163.154 Chassis End Number from A036519 to A260405
Model 163.172 Chassis End Number from A057639 to A260575
Lets see what my Mercedes Benz dealer here in the UK has to say, since my chassis number indicates that mine is one of the vehicles that should of been recalled!
I'm told by Mercedes customer services in the UK that there as never been a recall on this vehicle relating to this problem either in the UK or the USA? Funny that?
Here is the Enviromental Protection Agency's entry for these vehicles stating the civil penalty relating to this defect in the USA?

(1) See 3 Bro. P. C. edit. Tom. 277. The House of Lords affirmedthe decree as far as related to the Exchequer annuity, and reversedthe residue, and declared that Duke John was not entitled to the benefit ofany devise or bequest, by the will of his father Ralph, from three months after he suffered the recovery, the said John never having complied withthe condition annexed thereto, by re-settling the Warwickihire estate, and that the same ought to go in such manner, and to such persons as limited and directed, by the said proviso, and that said Lord and Lady Beaulieuought to have a satisfaction, out of the assets real and personal of the said Duke John, for what the said Lady Beaulieu would havs been entitled to, had the proviso, in the said will, been taken advantage of and effectually carried into execution.' This judgment of the

He afterwards, from time to time, as he had occasion, made mortgages of the Warwickshire estate in fee and for years; in several of them the trustees joined; all of which have been paid off. except two, for 23,000/. and 6,000/.
Upon attaining 22, Duke John proved his father's will; settled accounts with the trustees, and received the balance; redeemed jewels which were pledged by Duke Ralph to the Bank; paid debts, and took assignments of some of the securities to himself; compounded a large debt which was due from the family of theMonks; sold the Exchequer annuity for 25,000/.; and received thepersonal estate of Duke Ralph, and mixed it with his own, and disposed of it without keeping any account; and it was argued to be impossible at this time to take an account of it.
Duke John also received the rents and profits of the real estatedevised; brought a bill in Chancery against one Colley, who was steward ofpart of the devised and settled estates, in which he stated himself to be entitled to those estates by descent or otherwise; procured an Act ofParliament in 1716, for sale of part of the settled and devised estates, and to settle other estates in the stead. Afterwards a bill was brought, to havethe surplus money laid out; which was directed as to so much as arose by sale of the devised estates, to the uses in Duke Ralph's will. He obtained another Act of Parliament in 1722, in confirmation of articles entered into on the marriage of his daughter Isabella to the Duke of Manchester; in which it is recited, that his daughter would be entitled to Montague-house,which was part of the devised estate, after the death of the Duke, and failure of issue male; and the estates settled upon the marriage are to theDuke and Duchess of Manchester, after the death of Duke Johny and failureof his issue male; and in the recital of both the Acts the devised estates are called his estates.
Lord Montague died in the life-time of Duke John unmarried; and about six years after his death, Duke John had another son, George, who died soon afterwards; and at his death Duke John had only two children, viz. the Duchess of Manchester, then married to Lord Beaulieu, her second husband, and the defendant, Lady Cardigan.
Duke John made his will in 1749, and devised all his estates which he or any person or persons in trust for him was or were seised of, and which were in his power to dispose ef, except certain estates in Kent and Bucks, to trustees for 99 years, by rents and profits, or by mortgage, to pay his debts, legacies, and funeral expences; with remainder to his first and other sons in tail; with remainder to Lady Cardigan in strict settlement.
Duke John died soon afterwards.
Bill by plaintiffs, to have the Warwickshire estate settled, and conveyed tothe uses in Duke Ralph's will, according to the condition in his will; in which case she would, in the event that has happened, be tenant in tail ofone moiety; and for the consequential account of the rents and profits of a moiety from the death of Duke John: also, to be paid a moiety of thepurchase money of the Exchequer annuity, and of the annuity itself till sold.
Two Questions were made:
1st, Whether Duke John was bound by the condition in Duke Ralph's will to settle the Warwickshire estate?
2d, Whether the plaintiff, the Duchess, was entitled under the limitation to a moiety of the Exchequer annuity? or, Whether the whole interest in theannuity vested in the Duke's son George, and became transmissible to his representative, who was his father, Duke John?
To the 1st Question it was argued for the plaintiff, from all the acts done by Duke John, that he accepted the devise in Duke Ralph's will, and was consequently bound by the condition. And the cases of Bar v. Bor, in theHouse of Lords, 22d January 1756, and Lord Northumberland v. Earl ofAylesford, in Chancery, 20th June 1760, were cited.
For the defendants it was argued, That those acts were not clear and decisive of his accepting the devise; and that his acting as the owner of theWarwickshire estate, by mortgaging it, in which the trustees joined, was an indication that he did not accept the trust.
Lord Northington, Chancellor:
I am clear in both points.
As to the 2d Question, Gregory v. D. of 2V. is exactly in point.
The limitations to the heirs male of Duke John gave it to a son of DukeJohn, whenever there should be such. The estate for life of Duke John was to depend on his having a son or not. If the limitation to the son of DukeJohn was to depend on the words "living at the time of death of

Digan was transmissable to his representatives, and Wife. As to the1st Question. I am clear, Duke John never entertained a doubt ofnot taking under the will; and this appears by attending to the facts.
1st Act. He suffered a recovery of the Warwickshire estate and putthe legal estate in the trustees in the will of [ 538 ] Duke Ralph to such uses as he by deed or will should appoint. If he meant an actof dominion, he would have declared the uses to himself and his heirs. The reason why he declared the uses in this way was merely for his conveniency in his situation.
2d Act, Is a solemn acceptance on record in this Court; a bill brought against Colley, the steward, for an account of the rents of several estates, some settled and some devised, and brought in propria jure; and he alledges them to be his own by descent "or otherwise;" and that they could not be but under the will of Duke Ralph.
3d Act. A bill brought by Duke John against the trustees under the will, for an account of Duke Ralph's estate. This is conviction there was an endof the trust.
I bruchi (appartenenti al tipo morfologico delle larve eruciformi) hanno forma allungata e aspetto vermiforme. In essi si distingue il capo, seguito da 3 segmenti toracici e 10 segmenti addominali. L'apparato boccale è masticatore. Nel capo sono presenti anche degli occhi semplici detti stemmata (mancano quelli composti) e antenne piuttosto ridotte. I segmenti toracici portano tre paia di zampe articolate, mentre nell'addome sono presenti le pseudozampe (false zampe), in genere 5 paia. Il tegumento presenta un numero variabile di peli o setole (con funzione sensoriale oppure di rivestimento e protezione, talvolta urticanti), sparse o distribuite a ciuffi, anche su tubercoli.
Alimentazione
Pseudozampe del bruco di Papilio machaon
La quasi totalità dei bruchi è fitofaga, cioè ricava il proprio nutrimento dalle piante. Molti di essi risultano perciò dannosi a specie vegetali di interesse agricolo o forestale. In genere si nutrono delle foglie, erodendone i margini e lasciando così evidenti tracce della loro presenza. In qualche caso piegano i margini delle foglie o arrotolano le foglie fissandole con fili di seta, rendono gli steli morbidi oppure attaccano altre parti della pianta come gemme, fiori, frutti o semi. I microlepidotteri del genere Yponomeuta avvolgono i rami in una sorta di “ragnatela”.
Alcuni bruchi sono endofiti, cioè vivono all'interno dei tessuti vegetali. Quelli xilofagi, come Zeuzera pyrina ed altre specie delle famiglie Cossidae e Sesiidae, scavano gallerie all'interno del tronco o dei rami, nutrendosi del legno. Altri scavano gallerie nel fusto di piante come il mais (Ostrinia nubilalis), all'interno di frutti, come pere, mele e noci (Cydia pomonella e altre Tortricidae), nei tuberi delle patate, in bulbi, radici e rizomi. I bruchi di molti microlepidotteri, come Cameraria ohridella, scavano sottili gallerie ("mine") all'interno della lamina fogliare. Alcuni producono galle.
Alcune specie sono monofaghe, cioè si nutrono di una sola specie vegetale, detta pianta nutrice: è il caso, per esempio, della cavolaia (Pieris brassicae) le cui larve si nutrono esclusivamente a spese di Brassica oleracea; altre specie sono oligofaghe, cioè possono scegliere la propria pianta nutrice tra più specie della stessa famiglia: è quanto accade, per esempio, ai bruchi del macaone (Papilio machaon), che possono avere come pianta nutrice diverse specie della famiglia delle Apiaceae quali la carota selvatica (Daucus carota), il finocchio (Foeniculum vulgare), l'angelica (Angelica archangelica); altre specie infine (come p.es. Noctua fimbriata) sono polifaghe, cioè si nutrono di varie specie, anche di famiglie diverse.
Sono bruchi anche le larve delle "tignole" (soprattutto Tineidae, Oecophoridae, Gelechiidae e Pyraloidea) che si nutrono di derrate alimentari di origine vegetale, come granaglie, farine, biscotti, ma anche di prodotti di origine animale come la cera degli alveari (Galleria mellonella) o la lana, qualche volta anche di legno marcescente o escrementi.
Non mancano neppure i bruchi predatori, come quelli mirmecofili di molte Lycaenidae, che vivono nei formicai dove predano gli afidi ma anche gli stadi preimmaginali delle stesse formiche. Anche le larve di alcune Pyraloidea sono mirmecofile oppure vivono in nidi di vespe sociali; quelle di certe Crambidae sono parassiti di bruchi di Psychidae.
Comportamento e strategie difensive
Comportamenti gregari sono abbastanza frequenti tra i bruchi. Le larve di varie specie di Yponomeutidae, Lasiocampidae, Notodontidae (come la processionaria del pino e la processionaria della quercia) e Erebidae Lymantriinae vivono in gruppi e si rifugiano in nidi sericei.
Molti presentano colorazioni e forme criptiche, grazie alle quali si mimetizzano, confondendosi con le foglie o altre parti della pianta; talvolta assumono l'aspetto di fiori (come alcune Noctuidae del genere Cucullia, che sembrano infiorescenze di Artemisia) oppure si irrigidiscono in una posizione particolare in modo da sembrare piccoli rametti (come molte Geometridae).
Tra le strategie di difesa contro i predatori si annoverano anche colorazioni aposematiche e la presenza di spine velenose (come in Automeris io), peli urticanti (ad esempio nella processionaria del pino) e secrezioni ripugnanti (come nel macaone).

Yellowknife is the capital city of Canada’s Northwest Territories. It lies on the north shore of Great Slave Lake, with possible views of the northern lights in fall and winter. Exhibits at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, by Frame Lake near downtown, highlight the area’s human and natural history. The Ingraham Trail, a scenic drive, crosses the Yellowknife River and heads east to lakes and trails.

It got pretty frosty outside there!
So the best choice is to nestle with some hot muled claret and talk a little bit about the year that has just gone.
In April an important character of our scene passed by. Albert Hofmann never released any track neither organized a festival - but his discovery of LSD originated the whole Psychedelic movement. But also without the good doctor it became a very trippy summer with quite nice weather and some wonderful festivals.
What happened on the adult playgrounds around the globe in general and in a musical point of view, you will find in our big endof- year review. Apropos music: Our Producer Contest is still running, so we are looking forward for your sounds! What else happened? Well, my humble self, Roberdo, joined the editorial team. Beside music and party its all about photography, traveling and surfing in my life.
We wish you an excellent end of year time,
a merry X-Mas
and a kicking start into the new year!

At Ransome’s Dock, see adjacent photo for history.
The building at the endof the dock, which was clearly much older than the housing units alongside the Dock, housed a pub/restaurant – as did the building behind where I’m standing. Based on Google Satellite pictures, it looks like the gray boat has been in the same spot for at least a year. Considering the plant growth in the dock, it doesn’t look like there is much movement by the boats in general.
Bishops Wharf House, on the opposite side of the channel, is a housing development. From what I could find, a 2 bedroom (2 bath) flat is expected to sell for around £1M ($1,307,000) and rent for £3,200 ($4200) / month. Considering its location, those prices seem reasonable – though out of my price range :)

My third and final day in Sutherland and I had planned on heading up the magnificent Ben Stack at the head of Loch More. However as the days progressed I had kept one eye on the weather and the forecast for this final day was looking a bit gloomy Shame as it was the winter solstice today and Ben Stack would have been an ideal short outing give the short day ahead (in terms of available daylight!!)
Instead I opted for the final Corbett in the immediate area – Beinn Leoid. As this was probably going to be a bit more of a trek I set the alarm early, struggled out of my warm , cosy sleeping bag and eventually got my kit ready and drove the 500 metres to the start of the hike The mist was down to the glen floor and as I set of my head torch illuminated the water particles in the dark and it felt other worldly. Heading up the well-made stalkers path, ancient, knurled trees revealed themselves out of the darkness and gloom as my ray of light caught their contorted shapes, all really a bit spooky! Up I went and eventually found the light starting to appear. I had thought it would com earlier given the time but the fog bank I was in was blocking any of the residual dawn light hitting me and as I walked higher I started to get above this first bank of fog and found myself in-between layers of cloud as the dawn approached. As light started to reveal a monochrome landscape I was soon reaching the endof the (rather icy) stalkers path and I could see that the next hour was going to be contouring rough ground round the side of the Graham Meallan a’ Chuaill. I had planned on going up here for sunrise to capture some photos but that plan had disappeared as soon as the landscape was revealed to me with the growing light (I should say that the light revealed no landscape but clouds hugging the mountains – hence no views!!).
On a trudged round the side of the hill and I was very relieved to catch a glimpse of Loch Dubh, as I knew another stalkers path awaited me here! A short break at Loch Dubh and the feeling of remoteness was at its height here, it is a lonely place ! rough ground and knowing there aren’t many other humans for miles and miles gives it that wilderness feel, especially with the clag in! Up and over the corrie headwall and the ground conditions eased as the vegetation shortened as I gained height. The white icy rime hat had greeted me on the last two days also materialised and ice coated all vegetation. A light mizzle started to fall and all layers were donned. Head down and onto the summit I went.
With little chance of any views appearing, I did a piece to camera then headed back down the way I had come. I knew I still had a fair bit of rough walking to go and then a 4 hour drive home so I wasn’t hanging about. The rain grew ever more steady as I descended and the icy on the path became even more treacherous when I finally reached it again. The fog had lingered all day in the glen and I got some nice shots before the final descent to the car. Another lovely walk and although no blue skies , the conditions today had their own qualities , sometimes these days are just as rewarding if not more so than the blue sky days….

A Garratt is a type of steam locomotive that is articulated into three parts. Its boiler is mounted on the centre frame, and two steam engines are mounted on separate frames, one on each end of the boiler. Articulation permits larger locomotives to negotiate curves and lighter rails that might restrict large rigid-framed locomotives. Many Garratt designs aimed to double the power of the largest conventional locomotives operating on their railways, thus reducing the need for multiple locomotives and crews
