The BLM manages habitat for 245 wildlife and plant species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and another 31 species identified as candidates for listing.

An even greater number of rare and sensitve species depend on the public lands, including about 800 species of rare plants. The list also includes birds, frogs, butterflies, fish and mammals. Rare and sensitive species are not federally listed as threatened or endangered but they warrant special management attention to keep them from becoming listed in the future. In some cases, the public lands offer the best hope for recovery of species threatened by encroaching urban or agricultural development. About 450 of these 800 rare or listed plant and animal species are believed to occur only on BLM-managed lands.

The BLM’s Threatened and Endangered Species Program works to conserve and recover federally-listed species and their habitat on public lands. The program also provides support for conservation of non-listed rare plant species with a goal of avoiding the need to list them in the future.

The BLM places a special emphasis on maintaining functioning ecosystems to benefit all wildlife and plants, and restoring habitat. Because the habitat of many species includes lands and waters not administered by the BLM, successful conservation requires extensive collaboration and cooperation with a number of partners

This one managed to set up just fine, though it developed that crack sometime overnight. :(

 

I used a tsp of my darjeeling tea instead of a tea bag, since I don't really have any bagged tea.

In 1907 the Commercial Managing Director, Mr Claude Johnson (often described as the hyphen in "Rolls-Royce"), ordered a car to be used as a demonstrator by the company. With chassis no. 60551 and registered AX 201, it was the 12th 40/50 hp to be made, and was painted in aluminium paint with silver-plated fittings. The car was named the "Silver Ghost" to emphasise its ghost-like quietness, and a plaque bearing this name adorned the bulkhead. An open-top body by coachbuilder Barker was fitted, and the car readied for the Scottish reliability trials of 1907 and, immediately afterwards, another 15,000-mile (24,000 km) test which included driving between London and Glasgow 27 times.

The aim was to raise public awareness of the new company and to show the reliability and quietness of their new car. This was a risky idea: cars of this time were notoriously unreliable, and roads of the day could be horrendous. Nevertheless, the car set off on trials, and with press aboard, broke record upon record. Even after 7,000 miles (11,000 km), the cost to service the car was a negligible £2 2s 7d (£2.13). The reputation of the 40/50, and Rolls-Royce, was established.

AX201 was sold in 1908 to a private customer who used it for his annual vacation to Italy and recovered by the company in 1948.

In 1906 the London Motor Show saw Charles Stewart Rolls displaying the Silver Ghost. This model was the beginning of a fleet of prestigious cars, including the White Knave and the Silver Rogue, that won many honours and brought status to the British motor industry.

In 1906, Rolls-Royce produced four chassis to be shown at the Olympia car show, two existing models, a four cylinder 20hp and a six cylinder 30hp, and two examples of a new car designated the 40/50 hp. The 40/50 hp was so new that the show cars were not fully finished and examples were not provided to the press for testing until March 1907.

Charles Rolls was born with a fascination for electricity, an insatiable wanderlust that was nurtured by his father and an undying love for speed and transportation – two interests most agreeably combined in the sport of hot air ballooning, to which the great man was devoted. Like all balloonists, after descending from each flight, Rolls faced the challenge of finding a way to transport himself and his balloon home again. His solution was to have his own Roadster fitted to serve as a balloon tender to carry him to and from each chosen launch site.

In 1910 Charles Rolls was killed in a flying accident. Henry Royce nearly died the following year after a breakdown. But he recovered and his engines were utilised in the front lines of the First World War, as well as powering war planes.

The Roadster at first had a new side-valve, six-cylinder, 7036 cc engine (7428 cc from 1910) with the cylinders cast in two units of three cylinders each as opposed to the triple two cylinder units on the earlier six. A three speed transmission was fitted at first with four speed units used from 1913. The seven-bearing crankshaft had full pressure lubrication and the centre main bearing was made specially large to remove vibration, essentially splitting the engine into two three cylinder units. Two spark plugs were fitted to each cylinder with, from 1921, a choice of magneto or coil ignition. The earliest cars had used a trembler coil to produce the spark with a magneto as an optional extra which soon became standard - the instruction was to start the engine on the trembler/battery and then switch to magneto. Continuous development allowed power output to be increased from 48 bhp (36 kW) at 1,250 rpm to 80 bhp (60 kW

From the vault. Managed to restore a harddrive we thought was lost.

El Ateneo bookstore in Buenos Aires. Love this bookshop.

 

Situated at 1860 Santa Fe Avenue in Barrio Norte, the building was designed by the architects Peró and Torres Armengol for the empresario Max Glucksman (1875-1946), and opened as a theatre named Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919. The ecleticist building features ceiling frescoespainted by the Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi, and caryatids sculpted by Troiano Troiani (whose work also graces the cornice along the Buenos Aires City Legislature.

 

The theatre had a seating capacity of 1,050, and staged a variety of performances, including appearances by the tango artists Carlos Gardel, Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firpo and Ignacio Corsini. Glücksman started his own radio station in 1924 (Radio Splendid), which broadcast from the building where his recording company, Nacional Odeón, made some of the early recordings of the great tango singers of the day. In the late twenties the theatre was converted into a cinema, and in 1929 showed the first sound films presented in Argentina.

 

The ornate former theatre was leased by Grupo Ilhsa in February 2000. Ilhsa, through Tematika, owns El Ateneo and Yenny booksellers (totaling over 40 stores), as well as the El Ateneo publishing house. The building was subsequently renovated and converted into a book and music shop under the direction of the architect Fernando Manzone; the cinema seating was removed and in its place book shelves were installed. Following refurbishment works, the 2,000 m² (21,000 ft²) El Ateneo Grand Splendid became the group's flagship store, and in 2007 sold over 700,000 books; over a million people walk through its doors annually.

 

Chairs are provided throughout the building, including the still-intact theatre boxes, where customers can dip into books before purchase, and there is now a café on the back of what was once the stage. The ceiling, the ornate carvings, the crimson stage curtains, the auditorium lighting and many architectural details remain. Despite the changes, the building still retains the feeling of the grand theatre it once was. The Guardian, a prominent British periodical, named El Ateneo second in its 2008 list of the World's Ten Best Bookshops.

Managed to fit a trip to one of the local spots alongside the weekend commitments...nothing too exciting but it was nice to get the camera out :)

Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, Head of the BIS Innovation Hub Benoît Cœuré, and Professor at Cornell University and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution Eswar Prasad participate in “The Digital Money Revolution” seminar moderated by Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times Martin Wolf during the 2021 Annual Meetings at the International Monetary Fund.

Managed to make a rare appearance on the Front Page of explore yesterday. Funny how the ones I don't think that much about can be so interesting!

Thanks for all the comments and faves by the way, much appreciated.

It was a pretty even game altogether with the charge of the Hussars being the decisive action. The rebels managed to find 30 points worth of goods -one building was empty. Daniel's groups came up with 40 points. Very few casualties on the Crown sides and the Militia took the most hits losing 5 of their numbers along with Capt Riegell. So overall a narrow victory for the Crown.

 

Brian, the Militia player had this to say about his role in the game from the perspective of one of his charges:

"The mounted militia showed some initial vim, dashing boldly up the road. But naturally, at the first sight of British regulars, they slinked off into the woods rather than reenforce the Continental light infantry to try and drive them off. Once in the woods, they made some progress until -- God's teeth! More British regulars in the way! So they immediately dismounted and cowered behind a large rock. The Continental light infantry moved up to the milita's left and took the real brunt of the skirmish.

 

One rifleman was lucky enough to wing British officer, but failed to kill him. Minutes later, this rifleman and a neighbor from nearby farm lay dead, cut down by fire from the bloody backs. The commander Lt. Wolfe gamely attempted to hold his small unit together, but they could not regain the initiative. And as the disciplined British fire began to tell, Wolfe noticed his men creeping slowly back toward their mounts. A final redcoat volley dropped another militiaman, and the rest dashed for their horses to make good their mistake.

 

Meanwhile, the slovenly foot militia fell upon a local farm hoping to "borrow" needed supplies from the locals. They found root cellars and larders well stocked -- as well as a goodly supply of rye whiskey. Celebrating their good fortune, they failed to notice that a patrol of British Hussars had suddenly appeared in their midst. In a quick and brutal charge, four hussars fell dead, along with two militia. But as the Hussars galloped off, it was noticed that their leader Captain Reigell lay dead, brained by a saber gash.

 

Having seen enough war for one campaigning season, the remaining militia gathered their dead and as much of the whiskey as they could cram into their wagons and quickly made their way back from whence they came."
