The Zutons are an English indie rock band from Liverpool. They were formed in 2001 but did not release their first album, Who Killed...... The Zutons?, until May 2004. They achieved their biggest hits with "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?" and "Valerie", both taken from their second studio album Tired of Hanging Around in 2006. Both singles reached number 9 in the UK Singles Chart. "Valerie" was later covered by Mark Ronson (with the lead vocals provided by Amy Winehouse), who took the song to number 2 in 2007.
Formed in 2010, Daniel and Kimberly sought to create a great show that embodied everything great about going to a modern circus and everything fun and spontaneous about street performing. The result: THE STREET CIRCUS!

Very fine 1694 date stone with the date and initials set between barley-twist columns and surmounted by a broken pediment with a central cherub. Looks incongruous on what appears to be a small cottage. The coursing of the front stone wall suggests that that an earlier date, this and the building to the right as far as the scaffolding, formed a single structure. It is possible that the date stone relates to this earlier building which at a later date dropped in status and was converted into labourers cottages. Photographed 27 Nov 2009
Each block of ice has its own shape and colours. This one combines quite a lot of them: the white ice of being put to the air for some time, the blue ice being quite new to the fresh air, ice with sediments included and transparent ice washed by water quite lately.

Mesopotamia—the land between rivers—lay cradled by the Tigris and Euphrates, in what is today Iraq, and parts of Syria, Iran and Turkey. It is here, over 5000 years ago, that humanity began to write, to measure, to shape the world with thought made material.
Often called the cradle of civilisation, Mesopotamia gave rise to the first known cities, legal codes, poetry, and trade networks. But perhaps most quietly revolutionary: it was here that time was made. The division of hours into 60 minutes, of days into structured ritual and celestial rhythm, stems from the Sumerians’ sexagesimal system. They watched the stars and counted the breath between shadow and light.
It was not a single civilisation, but many: Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians—each layering knowledge upon the next. And though temples and empires rose and fell, it was the everyday—the shaping of clay, the weaving of linen, the counting of grain—that endured. Culture, here, was not a luxury. It was a way of surviving beautifully.
In Mesopotamia, humans became makers of meaning.
Not through conquest. But through pattern. Through form. Through time.
“Kiln Songs”
They did not know
they were building the spine
of centuries.
A kiln in a courtyard—
a cracked bowl resting
like a sleeping moon.
Laughter braided through fingers
as slip met skin.
Clothes not tailored, but grown—
colours whispered
from plants, ash, and river bones.
They spun stories not in language,
but in glaze,
in fringe,
in the swing of a hip
on market mornings.
Their world had no history yet—
just movement.
Just clay that remembered the hand
that touched it.
River bends her mouth—
hands shape bowls from silt and song.
Dust listens, still warm.
Fringes catch the breeze—
girls in linen, laughing light.
Time forgets their names.
Before stone knew form,
before breath turned into text,
she danced, shaping flame.

Um buraco negro clássico é um objeto com campo gravitacional tão intenso que a velocidade de escape excede a velocidade da luz (299.792,458 km/s, equivalente a 1.079.252.848,8 km/h). Nem mesmo a luz pode escapar do seu interior, por isso o termo "negro" (cor aparente de um objeto que não emite nem reflete luz, tornando-o de fato invisível). A expressão "buraco negro", para designar tal fenômeno, foi cunhada pela primeira vez em 1968 pelo físico americano John Archibald Wheeler, em um artigo científico histórico chamado The Known and the Unknown, publicado no American Scholar e no American Scientist. O termo "buraco" não tem o sentido usual, mas traduz a propriedade de que os eventos em seu interior não são vistos por observadores externos.
Teoricamente, um buraco negro pode ter qualquer tamanho, de microscópico a astronômico (alguns com dias-luz de diâmetro, formados por fusões de vários outros), e com apenas três características: massa, momento angular (spin) e carga elétrica, ou seja, buracos negros com essas três grandezas iguais são indistinguíveis (diz-se por isso que "um buraco negro não tem cabelos"). Uma vez que, depois de formado, o seu tamanho tende para zero, isso implica que a "densidade tenda para infinito".

The Pink Ladyslipper (Cypripedium acaule) is a common Orchid found across Massachusetts. This particular specimen is a white form - unusual, but not a necessarily rare form of the pink ladyslipper.
Noticed flurries of activity around our nest box today. And as the temperature is around minus 2 debrees, with frost staying on the grass all day, I wonder if they are checking out a warm place to roost tonight?
