Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca) is a cape which forms the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal and continental Europe (and by definition the Eurasian land mass). The cape is in the Portuguese municipality of Sintra, near Azóia, in the southwest of the district of Lisbon, forming the westernmost extent of the Serra de Sintra.
The cape is located within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, 42 kilometres west of the city of Lisbon and in the southwest of Sintra. A location (38°47′N 9°30′W) is inscribed on a stone plaque, located on a monument at the site.
The western coast is a mixture of sand beaches and rocky cliff promontories: around Cabo da Roca, cliffs are more than 100 metres in height, and cut into crystalline rocks, composed of strongly folded and faulted sedimentary units. These forms are disturbed by dikes and small beaches. This promontory of "high" beaches is the extreme western immersion of the ancient eruptive Sintra massif, as evident from the rose-coloured granite in the north and syenite of the Ribeira do Louriçal in the south. In the vicinity of the Cape, there are geomorphological examples of gabbro-diorite, volcanic breccia, and granite.
Part of the granite formations show evidence of strong coastal erosion, while in other areas there are limestone deposits embedded in the granite.
Much of the vegetation in this cape are low-lying and adapted to saltwater and windy conditions. Once home to a variety of plant life, Cabo da Roca has been overrun with the invasive plant species Carpobrotus edulis. This creeping, mat-forming plant, a member of the Aizoaceae succulent family, was introduced as ground cover by local residents several decades ago, but now covers much of the arable land on Cabo da Roca.
Many migratory and marine birds roost temporarily along the cliffs and protected coves of the coastal area.
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.

The extent of the erosion of riverbanks and the sloughing of gabions observed at this location was far greater than the summer of 2017. It is likely that this is a result of the February 2018 flood, which was the highest recorded in nearly 25 years.
Also, the loss of gabions has exposed leaching of coal ash contaminants.

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 âmereâ 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 £5000 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, thereâs an area called Milk & Sugar dedicated to coffee related design and fashion (and restaurants). âBasicâ tickets start at £14.50 - you can quite happily spend no money, floating around purely on a haze of free espressos and cold brew (though youâll have to get in line for most of theseâ¦). 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.
An extremely rare World WarTwo (one of few in England) 5.25-inch Battery, consisting of three Gun Emplacements, located within the western extent of Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp, the site is centred on TG 0975 4381. The group consists of a Command Post building and three 5.25-inch Gun Emplacements, one of which was constructed in the post World War Two phase of the camp, potentially post 1953. A national plan was devised in 1944 to construct 5.25-inch batteries across Britain, although the Weybourne guns may have been installed as late as 1946, although there are no available aerial photographs of the camp in between 1941 and June 1946, so it is possible that the guns were constructed earlier. However on the 1946 aerial photographs there are obvious signs of relatively recent construction and activity around the site.
The Command Post building is centred on TG 0982 4387 and measures 55ft 9in by 19ft 8in. This building now houses the Environmental Centre operated by the University of East Anglia.
The eastern emplacement is centred on TG 0977 4381, a circular encasement, 39ft 4in in diameter, surrounds the gun and a 18ft long magazine is located to the immediate southeast. The central emplacement is centred on TG 0972 4381 and the post war gun is located at TG 0968 4382. A loop of access trackway runs to the south, which continues to the south towards the airstrip.
The site of the World War Two and post war Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp located alongside the cliffs at Weybourne to the north west of the village. The camp originally started out as a temporary summer camp for the Anti-Aircraft Division of the Territorial Army in 1935. At first the majority of the camp consisted of wooden and tented structures, although in 1937 it was decided to make the camp permanent and more fixed structures and defences were erected. The camp closed in 1959. During World War Two the camp was surrounded by a perimeter Anti-Tank Ditch and defended by a system of Gun Emplacements and Barbed Wire obstructions. The interior of the camp consisted of groups of Nissen huts and barracks and other military buildings. The cliff top to the north was covered by a line of Heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns and Batteries, Slit Trenches and Pillboxes.
RAF Weybourne was a World War Two Anti-Aircraft Establishment, ''X'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based at the station between 16th May and 14th September 1939, with ''T'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit there between 25th February and 29th April 1942. No. 6 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based there between 7th December 1942 and 30th November 1943. Associated with the Anti-Aircraft Gunnery, the station operated the De Havilland DH-82B Queen Bee target drone aircraft, a radio-controlled target tug version of the Tiger Moth II.
Although the published closure date known for this airfield relates to the World War Two airfield, the Army maintained an Anti-Aircraft Training Camp across from RAF Weybourne using Bofors 40mm Anti-Aircraft Guns linked to AA4 Mk.7 Gun-Laying Radar. When that closed in 1958 the radars were transferred to the RAF. A very small permanent detachment was maintained there using the obsolete radar into the 1980's for cross-tell training, decoy work and to extend low level coverage. In the late 1980's, after the obsolete radars were removed, trials were carried out to confirm the site's suitability for deployment of the new mobile radars that were coming into service.
A Marconi Type 91 ''Martello'' radar was moved from RAF Trimingham to Weybourne in September 1996, operated by 432 Signals Unit acting as a Ready Platform (along with RAF Hopton and RAF Trimingham) for the IUKADGE Series II (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment) Radar System controlled from the R3 Underground Control Centre at RAF Neatishead. In October 1997 the Type 91 at RAF Weybourne was de-built, replaced when the Type 93 at RAF Trimingham became operational.

The Spaghetti Nebula is a very large object. It has an apparent diameter of around 3 degrees – six full Moons – and a physical extent of approximately 160 light-years. The stellar debris cloud is believed to be around 40,000 years old. It is one of the oldest supernova remnants in the Milky Way that still has a well-defined structure.
The vast structure consists of stellar material that was expelled at highly supersonic speeds during the supernova event. It also contains the interstellar material that the expanding shock wave energizes along the way.
Simeis 147, also known as Sh2-240 or “Spaghetti nebula”, is a supernova remnant. The nebula is quite large and its shape is fairly spherical. It is located between the constellations Auriga and Taurus.
The star that produced the remnant is now a fast-spinning pulsar catalogued as PSR J0538+2817. The fast-spinning neutron star was discovered by a team of astronomers led by S. B. Anderson at the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Pennsylvania State University in 1994.
Pulsars are only rarely associated with their parent supernova remnants. Young pulsars can be too faint for detection in the radiation of the remnants, or their beams of emission may not be pointing toward Earth. Some may even be ejected from their birthplaces in the aftermath of the supernovae that produced them. They are usually detected after a targeted search within the boundaries of their associated remnants.
The Spaghetti Nebula was discovered photographically by Grigory Shajn at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in 1952. Shajn and his team used a Schmidt camera and a narrowband filter. The nebula would not be easily visible in regular images.

The United States is always in flux. In a sense, change is its defining quality and recent demographic movements and technological developments are transforming all aspects of cultural expression and reshaping social and creative interactions. New writing in new voices is suggesting new directions.
This session will examine the impact of these transformations on American experience and analysis. Are these new voices assuming greater significance? To what extent are novelists, poets, dramatists and those involved in the growing field of non-fictional prose engaged in a dialogue about American identity, or has that conversation moved elsewhere? Questions linger as to why and in what direction the United States is
moving and whether contemporary work produced by Americans retains what might be called distinctly "American" characteristics.
In addition, forms of writing, publishing and book-selling are themselves being transformed. We note the gradual disappearance of bookstores and the power of online sales, the emergence of the graphic novel, blogs which develop into books, and self-published works appearing on literary prize lists. What is the impact of these changes on literary expression and cultural liveliness in America today? Are books on paper a dying technology?
We will examine new and established writers, listen to their literary and cultural voices and try to determine where America might be headed. To do so we invite a mix of the academic and the practitioner interested in contemporary aspects of creative American writing.
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 2,000,000 km². The global population size has not been quantified, but it is believed to be large as the species is described as 'frequent' in at least parts of its range (Stotz et al. 1996). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Little spores or something on moss beside the sidewalk of blackhawk church, 100mm macro with 36mm extention tube (roughly 1:1.3 ratio). Part of a macro workshop.
The cemetery, 40.5 acres (16.4 ha) in extent, contains the graves of 4,153 of American military dead from World War I. The majority of these died in the offensive that resulted in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient that threatened Paris. The burial area is divided by Linden alignment trees and paths into four equal plots. At the center is a large sundial surmounted by an American eagle. To the right (west) is a statue of a World War I soldier and at the eastern end is a semi-circular overlook dominated by a sculpture representing a victory vase.
