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.

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.
"The extent of this week’s snow has been a fantastic bonus to everyone studying in Rome - a once in a lifetime event.
This shot of a Roman road near the Coliseum just goes to show that the ancient Romans thought of everything."

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.
Urban extents illustrate the shape and area of urbanized places. Urbanized localities are defined as places with with 5,000 or more inhabitants that are delineated by stable night-time lights. For poorly lit areas, alternate sources are used to estimate the extent of cities.
A test shot using homemade extention tubes. Shot with a Canon 18-55mm IS lens. The very narrow field of focus is very difficult to work with and will take alot of practice to get perfect results. I think this shot is great considering the self made tubes only cost £7. Having once owned a Sigma 180mm Macro lens in the passed it does not compare but, still im pretty happy with the results.

Since white was light to such an extent that this flower was not able to have a seen stamen, I emphasized the contrast of this.
Since it was visible to the figure in which this white Yamabuki extended wings gracefully to me, I photographed imagining the figure which this flaps.

THE extent of Britain's winter whiteout is revealed in a stunning picture from space, received yesterday (Thurs) by scientists in Dundee. .
.
The nationwide blanket of snow and ice came as temperatures dipped to as low as minus 18. .
.
The image, sent by NASA's Terra satellite, shows the UK framed by cloud sweeping in from the East. .

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond declared it Scotland's worst winter in 50 years, while forecasters said the country faces another ten days of freezing conditions. .
The extent of the redevelopment is hard to believe. This particular cleared area is Huang Mu Chang, an old industrial site, but most of the areas being redeveloped used to be a mixture of old hutongs and more modern housing estates built in the 1980s and 1990s. Imagine that half your town has been demolished (including two-thirds of the high street) and you'll have some idea of the scale of this project.
The extent of damage to the right field corner is clear here, just one month after the beginning of demolition. Note the foul pole bending in when it reaches the upper deck. This is not a result of demolition, as the poles always bent in like this.

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.
