It's getting to be late September...here in Maryland, it's Harvest Time. In my real life, for the last 27 years I have been a bookkeeper/comptroller for a family owned Real Estate Brokerage. It just so happens that the family has been involved in agriculture dating back to the 50's. So when I asked if I could take some photos of them combining corn, I received a warm welcome. When I arrived, the combine operator (my boss's Son) recognized me and invited me along for a ride. It was amazing...the technology...the power...the capacity. Let me tell you...you are sitting 3 M above the ground looking down at the corn rows...I was impressed with the knowledge required to run it. Enough.
I know the two pics are essentially the same...and I am not sure which one I like better.

At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation IceBridge has been on a mission to build a record of how polar ice is evolving in a changing environment.
The information IceBridge has gathered in the Antarctic, which includes data on the thickness and shape of snow and ice, as well as the topography of the land and ocean floor beneath the ocean and the ice, has allowed scientists to determine that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible decline. Researchers have also used IceBridge data to evaluate climate models of Antarctica and map the bedrock underneath Antarctic ice.

A reflection of "House of Knowledge" by Jaume Plensa.
My previous post of this piece.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton, Yorkshire, UK.
24 April, 2011.
My YSP set.
"Knowledge is an achievement sublime.
A learning experience, one day at a time.
Knowledge is power...even if we
choose not to use it, imperatively.
From the day we are born,
we are blessed with the right
to study our world, to give our minds flight.
To hunger for more, to expand our potential.
Knowledge is something truly essential.
Answers to questions the mind can impart,
nurtures the hunger for knowledge, to start
the process of learning, the beginning of growth,
a personal quest and a personal oath,
to become the very best one can be.
Yes, that is the road I have chosen for me!
It's all up to us...that desire to learn.
An impression within our hearts, it should burn,
and daily, the blessings, upon us will shower.
Always hold to the truth,
that...Knowledge Is Power!"

Ah! often when coming from labour,
When I hear the children play,
There rises within me a vision
Of the school-house far away—
The old, dark, humble school-house,
That stood by the little stream,
That babbled and splash'd in the sunshine,
Or slipp'd into pools to dream.
And, again, as I think of my childhood,
And its circle of sunny land,
Comes the wish to stand by that streamlet,
As of old I used to stand—
Just to listen again to its murmurs,
As I did in that early time,
When my life—before and behind me—
Had the ring of a poet's rhyme:
Or to stand on the bridge with the children,
And give one long, deep shout,
That might sweep from my bosom's chamber
The dust of manhood out.
For I weary and fret at the knowledge
This manhood has brought to me,
And forever look back with a longing
To the glory that used to be.
But vain is that pent-up yearning,
And wish for the summer gleam
That ran through my young existence,
Like the plot through a fairy's dream.
It has sunk away as the sunshine
May fade from the breast of a hill,
And the shadow that now is around me
Is misty and drear and chill.
But still, when I come from my labour,
If I hear the children play,
Then my heart goes back to the school-house
And the village far away.

Crane_Corr
Secret Knowledge, Patience, Longevity
"Corr brings the qualities of patience and perseverance. The crane is capable of standing for hours motionless in the water waiting for the right moment to capture its prey. ... Together with the ability to operate in the Underworld, the crane symbolizes science arcana, the Secret Knowledge, which in the Druid tradition is represented by the writings of Ogham - the tree language of the Druids. In a broader sense learning this language requires the ability to read the 'Book of Nature'."
Gru_Corr
Conoscenza Segreta, Pazienza, Longevità
"Corr porta le qualità della pazienza e della perseveranza. La gru è capace di stare per ore immobile nell'acqua aspettando il momento adatto per catturare la sua preda. ... Insieme alla capacità di operare nel Mondo Sotterraneo, la gru simboleggia la scienza arcana, la Conoscenza Segreta, che nella tradizione dei Druidi è rappresentata dagli scritti di Ogham - la lingua arborea dei Druidi. In un senso più vasto imparare questo linguaggio richiede la capacità di leggere il 'Libro della Natura'."

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.

~Salman Rushdie, The Enchantress of Florence
The Hubble Space Telescope has snapped the closest images yet of the sky's latest visitor to make headlines, comet NEOWISE, after it passed by the Sun. This is the first time Hubble has photographed a comet of this brightness at such resolution after this close of a pass by the Sun.
This ground-based image of comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was taken from the Northern Hemisphere on July 16, 2020. The inset image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on Aug. 8, 2020, reveals a close-up of the comet after its pass by the Sun. Hubble’s image zeroes in on the comet’s nucleus, which is too small to be seen. It’s estimated to measure no more than 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) across. Instead, the image shows a portion of the comet’s coma, the fuzzy glow, which measures about 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers) across in this image.
The comet photos were taken after NEOWISE skimmed closest to the Sun on July 3, 2020, at a distance of 27 million miles (43 million kilometers). Other comets often break apart due to thermal and gravitational stresses at such close encounters, but Hubble’s view shows that apparently NEOWISE’s solid nucleus stayed intact.
Comet NEOWISE is considered the brightest visible from the Northern Hemisphere since 1997’s Hale-Bopp. It’s headed beyond the outer solar system, now traveling at a whopping 144,000 miles per hour. It will not return to the Sun for another nearly 7,000 years.

Images of Australia 49/100 The Tree of Knowledge.
The Tree of Knowledge, located in the small outback town of Barcaldine, has an iconic place in Australian history.
In the 1870's shearers had to sign a contract to gain employment, but an excess of workers meant that owners were able to decrease the wage of shearers. In 1891, shearers began to go on strike, and this action quickly spread. Strike camps were set up and the tree became a meeting place for the strikers. Violence increased, some shearing sheds were burnt down and the Police took firm action. The strike leaders were arrested and sentenced to prison, lack of food, funds and bad weather caused the strike to be abandoned. Thus, over the years the tree became a symbol of a 'fair go, and fair wages for a fair days work'.
The tree itself is ghost gum and over the years suffered from insect attacks, termites and fungal diseases. Before its final death a small number of trees were grafted from it to keep the tradition alive. The tree itself was preserved and the current memorial built around it.
Editing the photograph as I have, was an attempt to portray both the historical and the current setting of the tree.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.
“My Lord! Increase me in Knowledge”

Argiope trifasciata.
Ha llovido y quedaron unas gotas de lluvia que "adornan" su figura. He incluido una toma ventral y un detalle de la cabeza.
Es la primera vez que veo esta especie.... mis conocimientos de entomología son muy pobres.
