I saw this old man in Tehran's Darband area, feeding the ducks with the left over pieces of bread from the restaurant near by the river. The only negative thing in this image is the amount of garbage floating in the small river.
The Richard H. Simons Rainforest was created in 2000 thanks to a generous grant from Mr. Robert M. Kramer, trustee of the Richard H. Simons Charitable Trust. Our rainforest showcases plant diversity and has a paved path to allow for easy access to the many scenic locations found within its two acres. A meandering stream with waterfalls and cascades, flows throughout many areas of the rainforest. The stream is fed by water that is pumped from Glade Lake. The water is then gravity fed down the stream bed and later flows back into the lake where it is recycled.
Our rainforest is meant to showcase a globally imperiled habitat that is thought to house at least half of all species on earth. The Fairchild rainforest, at just over two acres, is a tiny example of what is known as a tropical rainforest which are typically found much closer to the equator. Using the current global rate of rainforest destruction, one and half acres of rainforest are destroyed each second, meaning an area similar in size to our rainforest would be destroyed in less time than it would take to read this sentence. With the incredible amount of plant and animal diversity found in the rainforests, it is possible that species are being lost before they are even being discovered.
Rainforests consist of four levels: the emergent level, the canopy, the understory and the forest floor. The emergent level is the very top of the forest and is above the canopy. It contains only the fastest growing and tallest trees that have broken through the canopy, as well as, butterflies, bats, monkeys and birds of prey. Below the emergent level is the canopy which contains the majority of plant, insect and animal life found in the forest. Some estimates claim that 50% of all plant species in the world are found in the rainforest canopy. Forest canopies were not begun to be explored until the 1980s and still have not been thoroughly researched. It is thought that millions of species still remain undiscovered. Below the canopy is the understory where only 5% of the forest sunlight penetrates. Predators such as boa constrictors and jaguars are found here along with a multitude of insects, snakes, lizards and birds. Beneath it all one finds the forest floor. A rainforest’s floor is relatively barren of plant life due to the low amount of light that reaches the forest floor. The floor does contain a large amount of decaying plant and animal material that is recycled back into nutrients which are then taken up by the roots of the towering plants above.

This image, from her music video 'Generous' (2017), shows the then 20-year-old blonde American actress and singer Olivia Holt in a most flattering hotel chambermaid costume. She is wearing a short, frilly white apron over a black, short-sleeve minidress with white collar and cuffs. She is also wearing a frilly, white cap with black trim and black, stiletto-heel shoes. This outfit shows off her lovely legs to great effect! In this image, she is reclining on the floor of a hotel room with a tray bearing food and a glass of wine(?) in front of her. With her left hand she is pouring maple syrup(?) on to the pancakes on her plate. She has evidently availed herself of room service! The video can be watched at, for example:

A romantic & generous prince presents his beloved Princess with a gift -- a beautiful key set with a light pink diamond. He takes her by the hand and leads her to a richly ornamented wall cabinet. With delight she realizes that there is more to the gift than just the key. She opens the padlock and sees shelves with a miniature crystal chandelier, a glass rose, a bottle of Enchanted elixir perfume, and a Russian doll.
She picks up the larger Russian doll and opens it, eager to find layers of progressively smaller dolls inside. Instead, inside there is a sparkling enchanted doll, decorated from head to toe in diamonds & precious gems. She beams at her prince, at a loss for words, to describe her gratitude for such a masterpiece.
The prince has one little surprise left -- inside the small Russian doll is a heart shaped diamond pendant set with a rare, natural Australian Argyle pink diamond with the coveted grade of 'Fancy Purplish Red'. (This little treasure weighs less than half a carat & is valued at over half a million dollars.)
The princess is absolutely thrilled by these extravagant gifts -- especially adoring the pendant and the stunning Enchanted doll.

Actively drilling petroleum well in Licking County, Ohio, USA. (October 2016) (site access generously provided by Gary Sitler for geoscience education purposes)
During the late 1800s, Ohio was the # 1 petroleum exporter on Earth. This is definitely not the case anymore! Despite this, Ohio today still has economic concentrations of oil and natural gas.
Ohio has three significant petroleum occurrences:
1) Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician) of northwestern Ohio.
2) Clinton Sandstone (Lower Silurian) of eastern Ohio.
3) Knox Group (Beekmantown Dolomite-Rose Run Sandstone-Copper Ridge/Trempealeau Dolomite) (Upper Cambrian to ?lowermost Ordovician) in the eastern ~half of Ohio.
Of these three petroleum systems, the Knox Group generally requires the deepest drilling. Most Knox Group drilling in Ohio targets the Rose Run Sandstone, an interbedded quartzose sandstone-dolostone unit of Late Cambrian age.
The well shown above is being actively drilled (as of late October 2016). It was targeting a paleotopographic high at the Knox Unconformity and hoping to encounter petroleum in porous dolostone. During this visit, the rig was drilling at a depth between 3,300 and 3,400 feet below the surface.
Update: as of spring 2017, this well was making 100 to 125 MCF a day (= 100 to 125 thousand cubic feet of natural gas) and 10 barrels of oil per day. The producing horizon is in the Upper Cambrian Copper Ridge Dolomite (also known as the Trempealeau Dolomite). Petroleum is coming from porous dolostones below the Knox Unconformity. The Knox is a megasequence boundary (Sloss sequence boundary) that separates the Sauk Megasequence below from the Tippecanoe Megasequence above.
The following are formation picks for this well (the numbers are from the completion record filed with the Ohio Division of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas Resources):
430 feet depth = top of the Berea Sandstone (lowermost Devonian)
1182 feet depth = top of the "Big Lime" (= Devonian and Silurian carbonate succession, including the Delaware Limestone, Columbus Limestone, and Silurian dolostones)
1940 feet depth = top of the "Packer Shell" (= Middle Silurian Dayton Formation equivalent)
3252 feet depth = Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician, sensu traditio; lower Upper Ordovician, sensu novo)
3790 feet depth = Gull River Limestone (Middle Ordovician)
3830 feet depth = Knox Unconformity with Trempealeau Dolomite below (Upper Cambrian)
According to State of Ohio records, this well has produced the following:
2017 - 38 barrels of oil, 12,660 MCF of natural gas (= thousands of cubic feet of natural gas), 516 barrels of brine (= salt water)
2018 - 59 barrels of oil, 2828 MCF of natural gas, 175 barrels of brine
2019 - 144 MCF of natural gas
2020 - 21 MCF of natural gas, 130 barrels of brine
2021 - no production

A generous increase to the daytime 461 has boosted the frequency from two buses an hour to three, using six new E20Ds taken from ADL Stock prior to the delivery of new electric buses later in the year. This time they’re of Falkirk construction, and show a handful of tweaks to Falcon’s basic livery, together with the restoration of the branding.

The Oak Tree pub in Rednal, Cofton Hackett is now called Generous George.
The pub is near the 98 and 47 bus routes from Birmingham.
"SENTOUKI" is probably a dwarf, if compared to the other adjacent rocks of Meteora. A generous and saving rock:
On “Lazarus’ Saturday” (the day before Palm Sunday) in 1943 (April 17, 1943) the entire family of my grandfather, Christos Charal. Papachristos—six souls—found a hospitable bomb shelter just below Sentouki.
During the ruthless bombing of Kalambaka that day by the Nazi German airplanes, all family members ran for life; they ran all over the cliff, crossed the stream gulch (recently covered by the local municipality) and then climbed to the opposite side of a steep slope: There they all found shelter under the rocky mass and remained hidden there, watching their own house being devoured by the wicked flames. If they had stayed in it, no one would have survived!
My grandfather rebuilt the house with his own hands later, but the Nazis then burned Kalabaka—not once but twice—in the autumn of 1943:
• 16.9.1943 (Thursday, the day after the feast of the city’s patron, St. Bessarion)
• October 18, 1943 (Monday).
"Sentouki" is surrounded by the streets "G. Liakata," "A. May / N. Plastira" & "I. Metaxas". Its latitude and longitude are:
• 39° 42'31 "(39,7088) North
• 21° 37'23 "(21.6232) East
Here are just a few important DATES, garnered by the “Memories of War” book, by KI. Karasimos (ed. 2009, ISBN 9789609315647):
-18.4.1941 (Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday): German entry to the unfortified/open town of Kalambaka
-17.4.1943 (Lazarus’ Saturday, i.e. the day before Palm Sunday): aerial bombardment by the Germans of Kalambaka (the Italians had abandoned it and retreated to Trikala since March 8, 1943)
-23.4.1943 (Maunday Thursday) the victorious battle of Kalambaka
-16.9.1943 (Thursday, St. Bessarion’s (the city patron’s) feast): arson of 120 stores & houses by the German nazis
-18.10.1943 (Monday): burning of the rest of the houses in their entirety by Germans - Kalambaka was completely burned down
-18.10.1944 (Wednesday): German departure
Dates of massive Nazi executions for retaliation: I deliberately decided not to mention them here in this post, today, on Easter Sunday in 2018:
We celebrate the Resurrection and we thank God for what we enjoy: Peace, Freedom.
Nonetheless, let’s pray for unexceptionally All, for each and every one of our fellow countrymen, to get to enjoy the divine goods of freedom and peace: our heartfelt thoughts accompany our brothers incarcerated in a Turkish prison. Courage; Resurrection will be celebrated by you too, as free men: Light always destroys darkness…
