A while ago I got a Walimex Pro 8 mm Fisheye lens. Today I took it for a few test shots with my Canon 60D.
The framework of a power pole is one of them.

Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the gases emitted by coal-fired and other fossil-fueled power plants requires materials that can efficiently extract the CO2 while ignoring the other gaseous molecules. These materials must be capable of working in hot, moist environments without losing efficiency. PNNL researchers modified the surface of a material called a metal-organic framework (MOF) to render it better able to extract CO2 under the working conditions it might encounter. The MOF shown above was imaged at 20,000 times magnification using a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope. The proposed surface modification may be applicable to thousands of different MOF materials to improve moisture stability and increase selectivity towards CO2 extraction. This work will help to make fossil energy use more sustainable, safer and cleaner. Research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Sketchnote of a really nice study of using a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) to separate acetylene from ethylene. This is typically an energy-intensive process by conventional methods but MOFs offer a new means to do this separation better. This research was published in Science.

Assenheim/Hessen - Niddabrücke
Die heutige Brücke wurde 1929 errichtet. Sie ist eine Eisen-Fachwerkbrücke, deren tragende Fachwerk-Kästen unterhalb der Fahrbahn liegen. Die Brücke hat 6 Segmente, die in der Mitte auf 5 Betonpfeilern aufliegen. Die Oberleitungsmaste auf der Brücke – elektrifiziert wurde die Strecke 1960 – sind jeweils auf den Brückenpfeilern aufgeständert.
Die Niddabrücke ist ein Kulturdenkmal und steht unter Denkmalschutz. (Quelle s.u.)
From thedailylumenbox.com Adox CMS 20 II shot with Chroma Double Glass 24mm f/11 lens on 1949 Leica Ic. Developed in Adotech IV for 11 minutes at 79° F.
Evening light coming through the window pane of my room prompted me to take this shot.

Oakdale Dam, located a few miles south of Monticello, Indiana, was completed in 1925 forming Lake Freeman, thus the framework was set for the twin lakes area to become one of the largest summer vacation spots in the Midwest. Construction on Oakdale began in 1924 and was completed a year later on the Tippecanoe River. This allowed the waters of Shafer Lake, formed earlier by the opening of Norway Dam in June 1923, to flood the lowland areas and create scenic Lake Freeman. The run-of-the-river dams were built by a power company during the "Roaring 20s". They are owned by the Northern Indiana Public Service Co., which has operated the two hydroelectric facilities since 1944. Until the end of World War II, the two power generating stations produced sufficient power to accommodate the energy demands of Monticello, and enough extra power for export to other areas of the state. With the baby boom and unprecedented economic growth after World War II in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the utility company was forced to turn to other means to meet the energy demands of this area. While there are larger lakes in the state, the man-made lakes of Freeman and Shafer are unequaled anywhere in Indiana because the two run-of-the-river dams maintain a nearly constant water level in the lakes throughout the year. More than 100 camps, resorts and other commercial enterprises are located around the two lakes, in addition to the more than 1,000 year-around homes, numerous summer cottages and mobile homes. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day the influx of summer residents and visitors to area multiples area population several times. Tourism alone is said to generate an estimated $70 million annually in retail sales and services, making tourism one of White County's economic cornerstones.

This shot was taken from the parking lot of the Oakdale Dam Inn. If you are ever in the area, you must try it. It is a lot of fun and has good food. There motto is, "Best Catfish by a Dam Site !". Here is their link: oakdaledaminn.com/index.html
The total population of the Mediterranean countries grew from 276 million in 1970 to 412 million in 2000 (a 1,35% increase per year) and to 466 million in 2010. The population is predicted to reach 529 million by 2025. Four countries account for about 60% of the total population: Turkey (81 million), Egypt (72 million), France (62 million), and Italy (60 million) (Plan Bleu computations based on UNDESA 2011). Overall, more than half the population lives in countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean, and this proportion is expected to grow to three quarters by 2025 (UNEP/MAP/MED POL 2005). The Mediterranean region’s population is concentrated near the coasts. More than a third live in coastal administrative entities totaling less than 12% of the surface area of the Mediterranean countries. The population of the coastal regions grew from 95 million in 1979 to 143 million in 2000. It could reach 174 million by 2025 (UN/MAP/BP/RAC 2005). The concentration of population in coastal zones is heaviest in the western Mediterranean, the western shore of the Adriatic Sea, the eastern shore of the Aegean-Levantine region, and the Nile Delta. Overall, the concentration of population in the coastal zone is higher in the southern Mediterranean countries. This is also where the variability of the population density in the coastal zone is highest, ranging from more than 1000 people/km2 in the Nile Delta to fewer than 20 people/km2 along parts of coastal Libya.

www.intersectionconsulting.com From a leadership perspective, embedding social business ideas into an organization has less to do with embracing tools and technology than it does with learning how to facilitate and manage culture change. What set of skills do leaders need in their toolbox to effectively lead organizations through the process of adopting social business philosophy?
The following framework is inspired by James Kouzes and Barry Posner’s Five Practices Model, from their ground breaking book The Leadership Challenge . This post is designed to help leaders understand some of the unique considerations, competencies and behaviors related to leadership in the age of social media.
