A newspaper clipping from the Shanghai Times gives an impression of sportive bachelor activities.
"Holland Seen In Convincing Hockey Debut
Drop Decision To S.H.C. By Only 4-2; Several New Man Fielded
S.H.C. 4; Holland 2
S.H.C.: - Black; Kenyon, Crickmer; Carlisle, Turner, Wallace; Lintilhac, Kendall, Bradford, Pote-Hunt, King.
Holland: - Hoogerhuys; Sardeman, Van der Voort; Hasselman, Scheltus, Wiersum, Wilmer, Beekmeyer, Brand, Kruyt, Cazius.
Despite losing the Shanghai Hockey Club by 4-2 on New Year’s Day a friendly game on the Race Course, an all-Dutch team representing “Holland” made an impressing debut. Their showing was highly creditable in view of the fact that only six of their men had been playing regularly this season. In the first half, they were a decided threat to the Club when they held a lead of 2-1 but the eventual winners came back strongly to command a 3-2 advantage at the interval.
Should the plans for an International series at the end of the season materialize, Holland will certainly have a nucleus for a strong, if not dangerous, eleven. A little more practice should be able to develop their left flank which showed signs of weakness on Wednesday.
Backbone of Holland
Four men on Holland line-up were responsible for their convincing showing. Brand and Beekmeyer supplied the thrust to their forward-line, their quick-witted stickwork being one of the features of the game. On the intermediate line, Scheltus was steady as usual. Those Club forwards who managed to evade him, however, had an even more difficult task in dribbling past the ever-reliable Van der Voort.
The Club team were handicapped for nearly three-quarters of the match through the lack of a goal-keeper; in the middle of the second half, Black was immediately recruited to fill the vacancy. Had the S.H.C. fielded a custodian throughout the match, they might even had held the Netherlanders down to one goal.
The old partnership of Kenyon and Crickmer was back again on the Club back line and was one of the main reasons why the eventual winners could have very well dispensed with the services of a well-balanced half-line while Kendall and Pote-Hunt were well in the limelight on the forward line; Kendall marred a superior performance through failing to part with the ball sooner.
Kendall bags three
It was KENDALL however, who ran up three of the four Club goals, giving the S.H.C. their lead soon after the bully-off. The game in the first half was carried on at a fast clip with both sides playing at the top of their form. Clean stickwork was the order of the day with Brand, Scheltus, Beekmeyer and Pote-Hunt doing almost what they liked with the ball.
Two success goals by BRAND saw Holland jump into the lead; one of these points was a gift, the absence of a goal-keeper letting a weak shot roll between the posts. Facing a 2-1 deficit, the Club came back with a vengeance as KENDALL rapped home a hard one to equalize, and just one minute before the interval, BRADFORD put the Club into the lead.
The second half did not supply such a invigorating play as the earlier session with both teams lessening their efforts. The result was that the period almost went scoreless, but three minutes before the end, KENDALL netted his third point from a partial scrimmage to convert a pass from Bradford."

This piece of American history, "the Equalizer," is a Colt model 1873, Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, the gun that you see in all the old western movies, and the gun that, along with the Winchester '73 repeating rifle, is generally referred to as one of the guns that won the west. You saw it in "Showdown at the O.K. Coral," and in real life, it was adopted as the standard U.S. military service revolver in 1892 and was favored by lawmen, cowboys and desperadoes alike. Often one would be armed with a Colt SAA and a Winchester '73, both chambered for the .44-40, a pretty meek cartridge by today's standards, but it got the job done and had the very real advantage of providing one round that fit both the rifle and the revolver.
I bought this one, chambered for the .44 special, 25 years ago, and had I really wanted to maximize the "Classic" value of it, I would probably have been better off buying one in the more traditional .45 Colt chambering; but this has the advantage that I can use the same dies for reloading the .44 special as I can for my .44 magnum, and with the cost of ammunition being what it is today, loading your own ammunition is a must, unless you're a lot wealthier than I am (I've been hand loading all my ammunition since I was 17}. I haven't shot it all that much (haven't done any shooting in the past couple of years), and when I have shot it, I've tended to baby it, using only light loads and staying far away from the near .44 magnum loads loads that Elmer Keith favored before he and Smith & Wesson developed the real .44 magnum by stretching the .44 special cartridge case a small fraction of an inch. It's a crying shame to leave it locked away in a dark closet, and I've really gotta take it to the range, which is only three miles from my house, and give it some exercise.

My entry for Light Painting Competitions and Themes- December 2011 - Household Objects
Quite a frustrating shoot, first the switch on my digital light wand falls to bits and then my el wire breaks. Grrrrr. It could also really do with a slight exposure, contrast and white balance tweak, but the competition has a SOOC rule (although not everyone seems to obey it!)
Title and idea inspired by a comment made by Sprogz

Port of Poulsbo History
The beautiful landscape around the current day port district and Poulsbo community was exposed to the last glacial retreat about 12,000 years ago. Poulsbo is in the heartland of the Suquamish People, who have lived in Puget Sound for thousands of years. Suquamish ancestors occupied villages and camps on the Liberty Bay shoreline over the past 5,000 years. Suquamish elders recall eight place names within Poulsbo that attest to clamming, fishing, hunting, and religious activities, including a reference to an important spiritual place in the Poulsbo Marina vicinity. Suquamish People provided early Euro-American settlers fish and other food, as well as introduced them to the rich maritime bounty of fish and shellfish in Liberty Bay, including processing dogfish for oil. Suquamish tribal members worked as fishermen and loggers in early commercial enterprises and contributed to the economic development of the region. Immigrants with a strong Norwegian influence first moved into the area in the later1800’s and logging was the predominant early industry. Production of oil from processing local sand.
With the boyfriend away for the weekend I was all set to catch up on some reading and housework, when m'buddy (a fellow photographer, DJ and engineer) mentioned he'd planned to attend the Pride event in Cologne, and would I like to come along?
Reading can wait.
I'd been to Cologne before of course, admiring its beautiful Dom cathedral from without and within, though I remember it having a lot more scaffolding around it. I hadn't visited the city during a time when it saw not one but two important public events: the Pride celebration of diversity and equality and love and all that good stuff, and an apparently historic football match between Germany and Italy.
The latter dominated Saturday evening. Bars were crowded but quiet, occasionally surging with excitement that ebbed crescendoed as goals were attempted, missed, completed and then equalized, culminating in sudden-death overtime that went on a surprisingly (and evidently thrillingly) long time.
Germany won. Cheers and jeers rose throughout the city, beers were clanged, strangers were hugged and kissed and for the first time in my life I found myself surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of people in a nighttime city intersection, all headbanging in delirious ecstasy to an unannounced houm-pah-pah marching band playing Rage Against The Machine on brass and drums.
A gaggle of orange-shirted Dutch football fans celebrated with their Eastern brethren by chanting "Alle Duitsers zijn homo's" to which the Germans responded with "Alle Niederländer sind Homo's" in good spirits, accurate rhythm and surprisingly consistent key.
Prescient in a way, because on Sunday that very much seemed to be borne out. I've visited and enjoyed Amsterdam's annual Canal Pride many times (our parade floats actually float, y'all) but hadn't yet seen a street parade, and I'm so glad m'buddy cajoled me into tagging along.
In the spirit of togetherness and diversity and exuberance I'd brought along my little photo printer. I sneakily befriended various couples and groups by giving them a portrait to take home, and in exchange was easily allowed to sneak to the front for a better view of the parade.
In one case, when a lady tried to give me two euros for the print and the only way I could demur was to ask for a peck on the cheek instead, the leather-clad beardo standing next to her proudly told me she was her daughter and that, by Westphalian law, I was now betrothed to marry her.
Soooo I'm rather glad I'm home and if anyone is well-versed in EU law, please let me know how far David and I will need to emigrate to escape the looming threat of that shotgun wedding, thanks in advance, please help, for real though please help thank you please.
The parade of course was more, shall we say, colorful than the wholesome and family-friendly joie-de-vivre here depicted, but I leave it to your delicate imaginations to picture how the great city of Cologne celebrates Pride!

Yes My Dear Visitor .. You might wonder about my point … Well I will explain it for you, Sit somewhere in an open area I prefer the beach usually it makes me think a lot.
Then Start thinking about the universe we live in, think about every single creature in this world animals, birds, plants, humans .. Etc.
There is no one strong in it, yes NO ONE, the Lion can be hunt by human or by another lion, A big huge elephant you know how big they are but it can be killed if a small little mice goes in its ears, Human can be killed by animals or from their own kind.
NO one stays the hero Forever and no one stays the bravest or strongest in this world forever.
Countries they were leading the world one day and now its vice versa and they are controlled by the countries the were controlling earlier.
Read the news papers watch the news .. no one stays as they are.
God Made the universe in a very nice and perfect system that no one stays with their power so that they wont reach to the level of deception and destroy every and not to let people believe in their power.
Yes this is the amazing life we live one day you are the boss and control everything and one day you will be controlled by someone else.
But over all we are all controlled by only one person in this huge universe By GOD yes Some people under estimates the power of GOD and they don’t know what GOD can do in life, he can make you rich in a second or make you poor in another.
What made me write all of the above is when I was driving that day and the sun kept really bothering me with those sharp rays Since my sunglasses wasn’t with me and after a while the sun rays it was gone at that moment I saw the clouds covering the sun it even made me See the sun as its moon or a piece of candy.
Anyway myself I don’t have much time to write more so enjoy the shot.
A "tea equalizer" at the Chá Porto Formoso museum factory. Founded in the 1920, the factory operated until the 1980s, serving both the national market and exporting internationally. The operations ceased due to the small production, limited by Sao Miguel's characteristics, and in 1998 the facilities were restored to operate at small volumes, compensated for by the side operation as a museum. It is very interesting to go through the factory and see each stage of the tea production process. Porto Formoso, together with the nearby Gorreana Tea Factory, are the only facilities in Europe to process the leaves of "Camellia sinensis" for tea production. Some scholars argue that this plant, the source of green tea and black tea, was introduced in the Azores in 1750 by the ships returning from the East.
CLAHE stands for Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization, implemented as plugin module for ImageJ.
Suggested by Bushman.K it was found to be not quite compatible with the solar images, but works well on the Moon :)
The lunar image of 04.07.2015, around 23:30 MSK, taken with TIS DMK23 via 2x Barlow on Meade series 6000 80 mm f/6 triplet refractor.
Panoramic image of six panels, 20% of 1000 (ok, 200) frames stacked, stitched in MS ICE, deconvolved (AstraImage Richardson-Lucy, Cauchy, 0,3-9), wavelet-sharpened (1-10-15-5-1), CLAHEd in ImageJ (127-255-2), wavelet again (1-5-10-5-1) and some contrast added in PS.
Note: the white square is the histogram trap for deconvolution to correctly normalise the processed image. I was finally able to save Aristarchus from becoming saturated.
A Model 2 coilgun, heavily customized by an unknown interplanetary gang. Has a cut-down stock, a different, much more compact barrel assembly made from an ''Ultracompact'' kit. Has a customized Mk.3 bayonet found on an M2c MIR, but it can come without it as well. The gun itself is fairly rare, as the gang didn't last long before disappearing.

Student activists from CT Students for a Dream (C4D) and supporters rally to demand justice in higher education for undocumented students with legislation that equalizes access to student-generated funds: State Capitol, Hartford, Connecticut, Thursday, April 13, 2017.
"In Connecticut, public colleges and universities set aside a proportion of tuition revenue to be used as ‘institutional aid’ to assist students with a demonstrated financial need. However, immigrant students who have grown up in CT and have graduated high school here are not eligible for this student-generated aid. All Connecticut students, including undocumented students, pay tuition and therefore contribute towards this institutional aid pool of funds. Yet Connecticut does not allow immigrant students access to institutional aid themselves. This aid is student funded, we believe all students who pay tuition should be be eligible to receive it.”
