I visited the Tate Modern's new extension with it's viewing platform. As well as the new views on offer, arguably the most interesting views are that of the adjacent residential towers, which have been co-opted into an unwitting installation offering snapshots into people's lives.
Situated on a slight rise about 200m NW of the original extent of Manorhamilton town and separated from it by NE-SW section of the Owenbeg River. Sir Frederick Hamilton received a grant of over 5,000 acres in 1621-2 which he proceeded to increase, and by 1631 he had over 16,000 acres. He had undertaken to build a castle, which was probably not finished until 1636. In January 1642, Manorhamilton was besieged by Irish rebels under such leaders as Brian McDonogh and Owen O'Rourke or Teige O'Connor Sligo, who were encamped at Lurganboy. On January 30th they burnt the town but failed to capture the castle, and they lifted the siege on April 3rd. In the following year Hamilton used the castle as a base for raids as far afield as Sligo and Donegal. Hamilton left Ireland in 1643-4 and died in Scotland in 1647, but the castle seems to have survived until it was burnt by the earl of Clanrickard in 1652.
The castle is a two or three-storey rectangular house, although most of the third storey does not survive. There are two wings projecting on the N side which are not separated from the main house by party walls. The house is U-shaped and open to the N. The wings have a court between them, but its S wall, which would have had the original doorway, does not survive. There is a sallyport which is partly below ground level at the centre of the S wall of the house. There are four slightly rhomboid corner-towers which have three storeys at SW and SE, but those at NE and NW have five and four storeys with the use of mezzanine floors.
The house had two large transom and mullion windows in the S wall at ground and first floors, but these are either robbed or blocked and there are smaller windows, either blocked or robbed, on the E and W walls. The NE wing was probably the kitchen as its W wall at the ground floor has a large robbed fireplace. The main house was poorly provided with fireplaces with only small ones at the S end of the E and W walls and in each wing at the first floor.
Each floor of the corner towers usually has a window and two gun-loops, and some even have fireplaces. The corner towers communicated with the main house through lintelled passages, but there are no garderobes or latrines in the house.
All the quoins, except those from two angles of the corner towers, have been robbed, as has most of the dressed stonework from windows and doorways. There is a plinth all around and string-courses externally over the ground and first floors. The corner towers have three courses of banded masonry only on their outward-facing walls over the first floor.
The house is within a bawn defined by a reconstructed wall at W and remnants of the N end of the E wall. The interior is flush with the surviving top of the S wall, but there is evidence of corner towers only at SW where the W wall survives to three floors, and at SE where the foundations of a tower are visible. Elsewhere the bawn is defined by more modern walls, but there is no indication of where the original entrance may have been. Archaeological testing in the vicinity of the castle has failed to produce any related material, but an excavation inside the bawn has produced evidence of a cobbled surface in the courtyard and evidence of a basement within the castle. The castle has now been conserved, and guided tours can be had for a modest fee.
Yesterday is gone, yet this day recalls,
There is no choice for fateful ways.
When worlds were stopped, inertia played the game,
Forward thrown, unsteady days, ricochet, and rebound!
Now more than hundreds past, but still they come,
Time is not straight, in all directions run,
An image comes, โconscienceโ an internal fight,
Do I want to tell wrong from right?
The blade so Sharpe, perfection made, this โisโ art.
Now upon the ice we stand, and the sun is rising!
How to move from this undesired place,
Take the light, this gift is his, and it shows the way.
Taken then, direction without choice, what will it bring?
Does the knowledge rest in the pages of unread books?
Guide me from this edge, in trust you will not fall,
But tread upon a shore where time itself evaporatesโฆ

Note: Bereavement takes us all in different ways. The loss of a son or daughter, perhaps the more than most, will have the severest effect. I wrote these lines while suffering such a loss, my thoughts all over the place, and my mind spinning, as these words attest

To the extent employment and pay are worried, there is no demonstrated contrast in the vicinity of 1year and 2 year MBA programs. On the off chance that two year program gives you a chance to have natty gritty information of administration abilities, 11 year mba online program hones your aptitude and you have work understanding alongside that. Both the degrees are all around acknowledged and more often than not your insight and experience assume a noteworthy part in landing a position.

Every year in London there is one singular opportunity to get caffeinated in a style and to an extent that is far beyond any other. Part festival, part industry gathering and ALL coffee - The London Coffee Festival is, as far as I can tell, the biggest java palaver / caffeine powered and related event in our glorious capital. I look forward to it every year...
Founded back in 2011 and attracting a รขmereรข 7,500 visitors, the festival has grown, year on year, with over 23,500 coffee aficionados, neophytes (and everything inbetween) making their way to the legendary Truman Brewery (on Brick Lane) last year. They come for many reasons, amongst these (presumably); the specialty teas, artisan foods, educational seminars, live music/DJs, and a predictably insane combination of coffee - in all its myriad and magical forms. The festival also serves as the focal point/launch for UK Coffee Week, and is the host of the Coffee Masters Competition - where 16 top notch baristas compete for the title, the fame and a รยฃ5000 cash prize.
This year saw over 250 stalls - everything from an espresso bar set up by Illy and Campari to chocolate tastings/pairings with Hotel Du Chocolat and tastings of unusual blends from independent coffee roasters such as Caravan and Origin. Asides from this, thereรขs an area called Milk & Sugar dedicated to coffee related design and fashion (and restaurants). รขBasicรข tickets start at รยฃ14.50 - you can quite happily spend no money, floating around purely on a haze of free espressos and cold brew (though youรขll have to get in line for most of theseรขยฆ). That said, half of the proceeds from ticket sales go to the excellent Project Waterfall, a charity that brings sanitation and clean water to coffee-growing communities in Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.

Detroit is something else. The extent of abandonment is as stark in former manufacturing sites as it is in the more delpeted neighbourhoods. We spent a an afternoon poking around the south east area where the shots around here were taken. To build so much, and walk away while it crumbles has been discussed elsewhere at length. I find these sorts of defunct business properties to be depressing and comforting at the same time. The jobs have disappeared, the debris scattered around tells of one squatter/ settler after another shacking up in one of hundreds of secluded nooks and crannies in the vicinity.
What I find reassuring is the ultimate triumph of nature over man-made derelict detritous. There are whole trees busting through the cracked pavement, vines and other shrubs have taken over.
The same jokers who tagged/ wrote their names all over Rivertown came through here too, but they seem not to have spent nearly as much time here.
Horse stud, vineyards, sheep, permaculture gardens and lots of chickens, geese, turkeys and pet cats!

In the city of Vigo and to be exact there is a real passion for cruising and to a lesser extent to ships in general, there are also other passion for sailing ships to warships, and there are also passionate in new construction of ships and are attentive to her sea trials for the first few shots finish them very often to say that he did a pretty picture.
Here I present a series of photographs of many people who show up to see the cruise both on arrival and departure, are very attentive to the details of the maneuvers, as the Captains manage these mega cruise ships to undock these behemoths very similar volume and spring technology, and while the maneuver begins heard some honking huge that is the way to say goodbye is three honks, and people almost applauds and salutes the passage that good weather is on deck and answer our greetings also waving arms and some photographs by rigor, like a family farewell as before emigrating to American soil.
While the kids roam happy and oblivious to the bustle of chambers with clips of the shots and movements of the tripod position it to improve the firing position like a photo contest, this privileged site that the Amigos dos Vigo cruceiros we call "the Office" is a fictitious name we put us to discuss the whole issue of entry and exit times cruise and our meetings to discuss the next arrivals.

This very wide-field view of the Milky Way shows the extent of the new VISTA infrared image of the centre of the galaxy. These data cover the region known as the bulge of the galaxy and have been used to study a much larger number of individual stars in the central parts of the Milky Way than ever before. The region covered by the new VISTA mosaic is shown as a rectangle.

This full-year graph puts 2011 sea ice extent in context. The gray line shows the 1979 to 2000 climatology, thick blue-gray indicates the 1981 to 2010 (30-year) climatology. NOAA this year switched to using the period 1981 to 2010 for their thirty-year climate comparison period
2011 year in review
Arctic sea ice extent fell to its seasonal minimum on September 9, 2011, falling just short of the record low set in September 2007, when summer weather conditions were extremely favorable for ice loss. This summer, the weather was not as extreme as 2007, so it was surprising that ice extent dropped so low. The low ice extent, along with data on ice age, suggests that the Arctic ice cover remains thin and vulnerable to summer melt.
Northern Hemisphere snow cover retreated very rapidly last spring, with record and near-record low snow cover extents in May and June despite higher-than-average winter snow extent as of February and March.

The effects of the Hayman Fire can be seen from the Manitou Experimental Forest near Woodland Park, Colorado. Only weather saved the historic buildings and ongoing research projects--as well as the residences in the area--from going up in flames. The fire came to within 1/2 mile of the research station.
Climate Change will impact and is thought to already be impacting the composition, extent and distribution of forests and pastures in the Great Caucasus. Contributing factors to the degradation of forest resources in Azerbaijanโs Greater Caucasus landscape include overgrazing of livestock, inappropriate tree harvest for fuel wood and timber, and non-timber forest product harvest. Maintaining current poor management of pastures and forests will continue to degrade these resources and reduce their resilience. As the system becomes more degraded the pressures will increase on pastures and forests threatening livelihoods and continuing a cycle of poverty and poor management. Although climate change will be quite favorable for winter pastures, their area will not expand and might even diminish. This will be mainly caused by soil erosion and an increasing use of lands for crops as well as increased evaporative demands.

Two general patterns: First, the Red Cedar River is lined with tree cover for pretty much the entire extent of the river, even in developed areas. The second pattern is that the Red Cedar River divides my park into field in the north and forest in the south. Both of these are manmade patterns. I know a golf course existed in my location, north of the Red Cedar. Therefore trees have been kept of the landscape for at least the past couple of decades. As for the trees along the river, they are most likely there to shade the river and protect its banks from eroding. They are also ascetically pleasing to humans. The split of the park into forest and field is biologically significant because these are both two different ecosystems that support different species. These areas also provide a haven for species that donโt spend all of their time in urban settings. The trees along the river, affect sediment load , temperature, and the amount of organic matter that is present in the river, so they are also biologically significant.
Regardless of the extent of the ongoing tyranny and oppression I have been forced to deal with in Greece for nearly a decade under the harshest environment, my efforts in finding Justice and Freedom for my life have not stopped and it never will until my last breath.
Hence, on December 23rd, 2022, while enduring day 140th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the UNHCR office in Athens, I left my shelter again to reach the Indian Embassy and plead for their help in providing urgent Humanitarian aid and mediation with this UN Agency.
Although I managed to speak with two Embassy representatives and even though they said they would help, ultimately they had gotten the Police involved to take me away. This time I was held in Police Custody for 2-hours before being let go.
