Knowing how the daily life of the inhabitants of Gavà 6,000 years ago and all the work inside the mines, the oldest in Europe and the only dedicated to the extraction of variscita, a semi-precious mineral used to make jewelry, is made possible by the Gavà Mines Archaeological Park.
The Gavà Mines Archaeological Park proposes a tour from the investigations that are made around an archaeological dig. Visitors can learn from their own experience in the park's natural environment and the lifestyle of the Neolithic community. Through this research and the latest audiovisual and multimedia technologies, they can discover what life was like for our ancestors and learn how the archaeological team in charge of the site have rebuild it on site.

Got this off of ebay knowing that it had issues. The focal plane shutter was trashed so we had to improvise and put a new lens on with a shutter. That also involved making a lens board. Not the best looking thing, but it works.
UNMIL Photo/Christophe Herwig - Ganta, Liberia, July 30, 2008 :
Ganta?s young women grew up knowing nothing but war. More than 90 per cent are illiterate. Liberia?s unemployment rate is 85 per cent, and even higher for women.
With no formal education and very little training, the women sought help from a local NGO to learn how to efficiently plant and harvest cassava crops. They will also be trained in how to operate machinery, as well as business skills like budgeting and planning.
Yar Leaggy, 23 years old from Gbuyee. The Ganta Concerned Women?s Group has 526 members who come together to support each other after the war, which had left them with physical and psychological scars. Many were raped and beaten, some were forced to cook and serve the soldiers and many lost their husbands and other family members. Others had fled to Guinea, returning home later with nothing. A small group of Ganta women saw that there was a need for counseling services, and formed the Group. They initially conducted sessions on the side of the road. They sold cassava leaves in the market to buy food to share amongst their families, setting aside whatever they could afford to go towards building a centre for women to gather in. Its current projects include literacy classes for the women, many of whom had their education interrupted by war. The Ganta Concerned Women?s Group has arranged financing through the World Bank, the Government of Korea, UNESCO, UNIFEM and FAO to build the first women-owned cassava processing plant and develop 10 community farms to grow cassava, with a plan to sell in the local market and beyond.
5175. It looks ordered, but the tensions here must have been enormous. Bitter foes coming face-to-face, neither side knowing how the other will react, the Japanese half-expecting a massacre.
Thus, within moments, in a symbolic act of Japanese submission, the keys of the huge Yokosuka naval base near Yokohama, are handed to Captain Herbert James Buchanan, RAN, from Melbourne - the CO of destroyer HMAS NAPIER and Commander of the British Pacific Fleet's 7th Destroyer Flotilla - by Commander Yuzo Tanno, the officer in charge of stores at the base.
In some ways this is an awkward photograph historically, and one that does not appear in US records.
It is some short time later, before US Rear Admiral Robert B. Carney the U.S. Third Fleet Chief of Staff and Rear Admiral Roger C. Badger arrived on board the cruiser USS SAN DIEGO to formally receive the surrender of the base on behalf of the U.S. Navy from Vice Admiral Michitoro Totsuka, the base Commander. It should be stressed that US marines had landed elsewhere on the Azuma Peninsula first, and in fact the first probing advance parties of Carney's forces had been landing at defence points around Toyko Bay, and taking over Japanese batteries, for two days hence, since August 28.
Nonetheless, the seizure of Yokosuka was a critical part of the first major landings, and somehow Buchanan - typically of this aggressive and highly decorated destroyer captain - had got to Yokosuka first, striding ashore at the head of a force of some 80 Australian and New Zealand sailors mainly drawn from HMAS NAPIER and her sister ship HMAS NIZAM.
Buchanan's group appears to have been accompanied by at least one an official war correspondent John Pacini, but Pacini's report [below]] suggests others also - and there are several pages of photographs of these first scenes ashore in the Australian War Memorial. They can be found here:
www.awm.gov.au/search/collections/?conflict=second+world+...
An interesting account of the Buchanan group's arrrival at Yokosuka by correspondent Pacini is also published online by the Naval Historical Society of Australia.
Some edited extracts - which tie in with the AWM photographs - follow, but the full piece is here:
www.navyhistory.org.au/surrender-of-yokosuka-naval-base/
Pacini writes:
"....About 9.45 a.m.[US] marines landed at Azuma Peninsula, and at 10.40 the New Zealanders and Australians landed on the Japanese mainland at the Yokosuka base. Correspondents landed with Captain Buchanan. We left the APD [assault ...destroyer] in the usual type of landing craft, and after a few minutes travel, entered a small basin.
At the end of it, and waiting under a verandah, which was joined to the roof of a storehouse, stood three Japanese. As the landing craft sidled up to the small jetty, Captain Buchanan jumped ashore [making him the first Australian to land in Japan], and, with a guard behind him, went straight to where the three nervous Japanese were standing. They saluted Buchanan, who returned the compliment.
"Then a Japanese standing in the centre of the group bowed low, and handed over a large ring of keys, which opened every door in the area. This Japanese was a Naval Commander, who had been in charge of the stores depots of the base. The men on each side of him were interpreters. A guard of Australian sailors quickly formed up beside the Japanese...[describes dress of landing party] ....
"A table was erected quickly, and on it were placed the plans of the area which Buchanan studied in conjunction with the Japanese. The interpreters were good, and information was gathered quickly.
Although the landing was British, it might well have been Australian, judging from the scene around the table. The guard was Australian, and the whole of Captain Buchanan’s headquarters was composed of Australian naval officers, who had been taken from the destroyers NAPIER and NIZAM. Having made a thorough inspection of the maps, Captain Buchanan and his party began a tour of the area. Large files which the Japanese Commander had brought with him for perusal were handed over to an American Navy interpreter for translation..."
Further on, during a tour of base facilities, Pacini writes of the Japanese apprehension during this first encounter. He says: " Throughout the tour of the area almost all Japanese we saw were perceptibly shaken; and I don’t think any of them would have been surprised had we suddenly shot or bayoneted them...
"....When the Japanese commander realised that no harm was going to come to him, so long as no harm came to us, he began to smile more often. He became even more open with his information, and for a few minutes I was able to speak to him through an interpreter. He told me that the navy desired to attack Australia straight after the fall of Singapore, but the army preferred to move to Australia through New Guinea. The Army won..."

To enliven the #followthefoodie experience with Team Shivangi Reviews, we visited Market Café in GK 2. With separate smoking and non-smoking seating, the manager reserved a table in both the areas, not knowing which area we will prefer, just goes to say the level of service being provided. The exclusive Gourmet It Up menu contains selected dishes from the restaurant and some of the chef’s favourite.
Staff & Ambiance
Simple & uncomplicated - the first thing that comes to mind. This is the kind of place where you can sit and unwind with friends, have endless drinks & good food to eat. The service is good. We didn’t have to wait too much for anything, nor had we to tell anything. Everything was being done at its pace as we relaxed.
Food & Beverages
From the set Gourmet It Up menu, Jam Jar Margarita and Mocktail of the day was asked for. The former was served in a jam-jar and was above average. Mocktail of the day - Virgin Mojito, again good, was served according to our specifications.
Greek Salad was fresh and tasteful – the right amount of everything. For starters, Ranchero Nachos & Harissa Chicken Skewers were ordered. With homemade Nachos, the former was very refined while maintaining the simplicity but the latter was a disappointment. Though the marinade was fine, the chicken was fibrous and it lacked the necessary moisture it should have had.
The interestingly named – MC BC Biryani – is a butter chicken biryani which is quite unique. The biryani is made using butter chicken – the flavor of which was very dominant. Grilled Chicken with Rosemary Pepper sauce was great again. Served with sautéed broccoli & zucchini & potato mash, this is a meal in itself and quite flavorful too. The complaint we had with Chicken skewers was missing here and we thoroughly enjoyed the dish.
Desserts
A single portion of Caramel Cheesecake, which was special for the day was ordered. The size is good enough for 2 people after all the food we have had. This was again unique in taste and the mixture of cheesecake and caramel sauce did wonders, a must try I would say. A small portion of strawberry sauce served on the side just enhanced the flavours.
The place is buzzing with youngsters from the nearby areas, relaxing with friends, enjoying their drinks and socializing. The staff makes all efforts to take care of all customizations requested. They also have interestingly breakfast and quick lunch menu which are very reasonably priced.
XOXO

I did a shoot this weekend with this little girls family and I had a great time and was able to get some great shots. We know this family and my son always says this little girl has all knowing eyes. I think he is right.
More shots from this session here.
Chris Lawless became the first Briton to win the Tour de Yorkshire after a superb ride on the last stage to Leeds.
Lawless, racing in the blue jersey as the overnight leader, finished right behind stage winner Greg van Avermaet to secure a debut win for Team Ineos.
Wigan's Lawless, 23, was immediately congratulated by team-mate Chris Froome, who orchestrated the decisive final break on Cote de Otley Chevin.
Team Ineos was only officially launched last week, replacing Team Sky.
"I can't believe it," Lawless told ITV 4. "If someone had told me I'd win this race before it started I'd have called them a liar.
"I started losing touch halfway up the Otley Chevin but I knew if I could get back on there was a climb around 5km from the finish that I could get over.
"I knew I could follow Greg van Avermaet when he went. Greg was someone I looked up to when I first started riding so to beat him is special.
"I've got to thank the team for backing me because I don't have a good history on stages like this but they said they'd give me a chance."
When asked how big a win it is for him personally, he replied: "The biggest."
Froome's tactics pay off
After 150km of racing, much of it through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, the final stage exploded on the final categorised climb of the race - the Cote de Otley Chevin - with around 20km remaining.
With Lawless appearing to struggle, four-time Tour de France champion Froome - who was Ineos' road captain and said "decisions were made out on the road" - went on the attack and his effort forced other teams pursuing the overall victory to try to chase him down.
Froome's team-mate Eddie Dunbar had also followed the attack. He then launched his own surprise move as the riders crested the hill and quickly broke clear, chasing down and passing three French riders who were part of the day's original break.
Realising that Dunbar could go on and win the overall title, Froome disrupted the pace of the chasing pack and that, in turn, gave Lawless the chance to catch up.
Eventually, defending champion Van Avermaet, who started the day six seconds behind Lawless, had to attack and while he quickly caught Dunbar, Lawless went with him. That left the Belgian CCC rider with two Ineos riders for company and with an almost impossible task of shaking them both off.
Knowing his fate was sealed, Van Avermaet took the stage win, with Lawless happy to follow him over the line and claim the title by two seconds.
Alexander Kamp, who started the final stage on the same time as Lawless claimed that he was "the strongest rider" over the hills but the Dane failed to live up to his bold statement and was distanced on the final climb out of Otley.
France's Arnaud Courteille, who was in the day's nine-man break, was first to the top of three of the day's five categorised climbs to take the King of the Mountains title.
Stage four result:
1. Greg van Avermaet (Bel/CCC Team) 4hrs 40mins 03secs
2. Christopher Lawless (GB/Team Ineos) same time
3. Edward Dunbar (Ire/Team Ineos) +02secs

Knowing is a 2009 science fiction/disaster film directed by Alex Proyas and starring Nicolas Cage. Knowing was filmed in Melbourne, Australia, using various locations to represent the film's settings, Boston. The film was released on March 20, 2009 in the United States and Canada.
Blonde gives knowing glance over her shoulder as two males make their move. This mating behavior of the human male observed at private party at a sculptor's studio after the "Body of Work" reception at Artel. Downtown Pensacola night life at its finest.
This photo has a custom-made frame, made by using the clone tool in Photoshop and selecting and copying (cloning) the quilted patent-leather texture of Elena's black purse on layer after layer, then flattening the image before saving. I like the patent-leather purse but the best part, I think, is that it starts to suggest lizard-skin when taken out of context just this slightest bit and used as a frame for the whole picture. In retrospect, I wish I'd made the frame even wider all the way around, and made it deeper still at the bottom like the way an old Polaroid picture is self-framed. And if I were to frame it and hang it on the wall, it would be even cooer if I made a quilted-patent-leather actual frame -- all puffy, you know -- the real stuff. But a little more to this frame would have been nice. It was a lot of cloning, as it was, because there's not that much uninterrupted area to clone from. I used several different brushes, and on the different layers, I varied the degree of transparency, to make it more than just the patent-leather texture. Something more animal, more wild, more grunge. Less regular. Filename ~NightMoves_fm.jpg
