Police monitoring a protest outside the former Legco Building in Central Hong Kong in 1987. In those days anything worth recording was done so in long-hand in a notebook. They were also playing it safe with as many officers present as protesters. It's important to get a policeman to look at you (preferably with menace) when you're photographing him: see here for another example 27 years later www.flickr.com/photos/steventhompson38/14550521935/in/pho...

Custom Monitor barn built in Yelm, WA by Stable Systems, Inc, a Washington barn design and barn construction company.
Got a good deal on Dell's 24" LED backlit monitor. The color balance isn't the same, so it will take a bit of tweaking to match them up, but so far it's rather nice.
Also, the resolution is "HD" so that means 1920x1080 instead of the other monitor's 1920x1200. That's okay, I can deal with the loss of 230,400 pixels (1920x120) - Roughly the equivalent to the top and bottom XFCE panels.
To show the use of the multimemory plugin in Munin to monitor easily memory leak. As this Perl services was processing around 5000 DNS answers per second, I finally figured out that the the issue was coming from a specific Perl module use (Date::Manip). That's another good reason to extend munin to match your needs.

My first quick (before going home from work) attempt at a transparent monitor picture. Colors are bad, the monitor background image is blurry and the monitor placement (or camera position) could be better. I'll make other attempts some other time.

During the time the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company operated, as many as eight monitors were in use at the same time. Fashioned after Civil War cannons, the large monitors could weigh as much as 1 1/2 tons. The large monitors in the Diggins were capable of using 25 million gallons of water in a 24 hour period or over one million gallons an hour. The wooden box toward the rear of the monitor was loaded with rock to raise the barrel of the monitor and act as a counter balance created by the bucking water pressure leaving the nozzle.
The blasting power of a monitor or water cannon came from elevation drop alone. No mechanical devices were used. The water that came from a nearby resovoir exited in large pipes then graduated down in size until they reached the monitor and through a 10 inch nozzle. A large monitor would blast water at approximately 5,000 pounds per square inch, enough pressure to move a boulder the size of a small car. Different sizes of monitors had various functions. Large monitors were used to bring down the mountain, while small monitors were used to keep the debris moving down the sluice or long toms used to collect the gold and then on to the final exit point.
The miner that operated the monitor was known at the “piper.” He was paid the most for he had to know how to operate that big monster properly. If he didn’t, cave-ins occurred catching men unprepared thus causing injury and even death.
Legend has it that a miner with a dirty shovel set his tool into the stream of the water exiting from the cannon and the force of the water against the shovel moved the monitor’s aim with the greatest of ease and thus led to the invention of the ball and socket design we know today.
Monitors were made at the Joshua Hendy and the Parke and Lacy Company in San Francisco. Also monitors and hydraulic equipment were made locally in the Nevada City Foundry. The Malakoff mine pit on the San Juan Ridge is a testimony to the avarice that was part of the California gold rush, and to one of the nation's first environmental protection measures.
In 1850 there was little gold left in streams. Miners began to discover gold in old riverbeds and on mountainsides high above the streams. In 1851, three miners headed northeast of what is now Nevada City for a less crowded area to prospect. One miner went back to town with a pocket full of gold nuggets for supplies and was followed back by many prospectors. These followers, however, did not find any gold and declared the area "Humbug", thus the stream was so named "Humbug Creek". Around 1852, settlers began to arrive in the area and the town of "Humbug" sprang up. These miners could not decide how to move the dirt to a place where there was water.
By 1853 miners invented a new method of mining called hydraulic mining. Dams were built high in the mountains. The water traveled from the reservoirs through a wooden canal called a flume that was up to forty-five miles long. The water ran swiftly to the canvas hoses and nozzles called monitors waiting in the old river beds. The miners would aim the monitors at the hillsides to wash the gravel into huge sluices. Over time the monitors became bigger and more powerful. Their force was so great they could toss a fifty pound rock like a cannonball or even kill a person. Over 300 Chinese worked on this project and two Chinese settlements existed in North Bloomfield (Humbug).
In the late 1860s, the towns of Marysville and Yuba City were buried under 25 feet of mud and rock, and Sacramento flooded repeatedly. The farmers in the valleys complained about the tailings that flooded their land and ruined their crops. Thousands of acres of rich farmland and property were destroyed as a result of hydraulic mining.
By 1876, the mine was in full operation with 7 giant water cannons working around the clock. The town had grown to a population of around 2000 with various business and daily stage service.
In 1880, electric lights were installed in the mine and the world’s first long distance telephone line was developed to service the mine, passing through North Bloomfield as it made its way from French Corral to Bowman Lake.
By 1883, San Francisco Bay was estimated to be filling with silt at a rate of one foot per year. Debris, silt, and millions of gallons of water used daily by the mine caused extensive flooding, prompting Sacramento valley farmers to file the lawsuit Woodruff v. North Bloomfield Mining and Gravel Company. On January 7, 1884 Judge Lorenzo Sawyer declared hydraulic mining illegal.

Bats are an important part of the Pacific Northwest ecosystem and help with pest control. They eat enough bugs to save more than $1 billion per year in crop damage and pesticide costs in the United States corn industry alone.
Our wildlife biologists from the Lakeview Field Office conducted capture surveys for bat monitoring during the summer of 2022. Capture surveys allow wildlife biologists to determine species, weight, sex, age, and reproductive status of each bat.
“We can also identify whether the bat has potentially been exposed to the fungus that causes White Nose Syndrome,” said Kate Yates, Lakeview District wildlife biologist. “We can look at the wing membrane for color splotching, tissue damage, or excessive sloughing tissue that are signals of poor health.”

Added some legs from ikea to my monitor stand. Before the shelf just rested on top of two box type things. It is much more secure now.
I don’t know who created the awesome wallpaper/screensaver that I’m using here, but THANK YOU! My contribution is the video image of Superman and Batman checking out the Batmobile. That started with an image of the wall of the Batcave I’ve built. I then inserted all of the other figures and props, finally creating the in-image computer monitors electronically. Hopefully it all holds together.

Saint Rosalia has been celebrated for 395 years, even though it was not always the Patron Saint of Palermo, in fact at the beginning the young Rosalia was not very well known, but she made herself loved by the Palermo people with a prodigious event that took place after her death. Saint Rosalia was born of the noble family of de'Marsi, as a young girl the girl runs away to escape a marriage of convenience, she was eager to dedicate herself body and soul to the prayer and contemplation of Our Lord. The young woman lived as a hermit, first on Mount Quisquina, then in a cave on Mount Pellegrino above Palermo. In this last place, on 4 September 1170, the girl died. From that moment his name seemed destined to oblivion, in fact no one prayed or asked thanks to her, until May 1624, when the city of Palermo was invaded by a terrible epidemic of plague: the legend tells that one day he went on Monte Pellegrino, a hunter who was lost,
the man saw Santa Rosalia appear, who in dialect asked him to warn the Bishop of Palermo that he would find his bones on the mountain; the Bishop went to the place indicated and saw the mortal bones of the Saint. On 15 July 1624, the religious decided to carry the bones in a solemn procession to ask for the miracle of liberating Palermo from the plague: this is how the expected miracle happened, it is said that when the holy bones passed the evil, that afflicted the citizens of Palermo, decreased by intensity, and soon the city of Palermo was freed from the Plague.
From that moment, every July 15, the city of Palermo celebrates its patron saint with the "feast", while every September 4th (the day of Rosalia's death) pilgrimages are made to the Mount Pellegrino cave, where today the Sanctuary is located .
During the evening of July 14th, the celebrations culminate with the parade of the Triumphal Chariot on which stands the statue of Santa Rosalia.
(The theme of this 395th edition of the Festino was "L'inquietudine", the "very big float" in question was created by the inmates of the Ucciardone Detention Center).

Santa Rosalia è festeggiata da 395 anni anche se non è sempre stata la Santa Patrona di Palermo, infatti ai primordi la giovane Rosalia non era molto conosciuta, però si fece amare dai palermitani con un evento prodigioso avvenuto dopo la sua morte. Santa Rosalia, nasce dalla nobile famiglia de’Marsi, da giovane la ragazza scappa per sfuggire ad un matrimonio di convenienza, lei era desiderosa di dedicarsi anima e corpo alla preghiera e alla contemplazione di Nostro Signore. La giovane visse da eremita, dapprima sul Monte Quisquina, poi in una grotta sul Monte Pellegrino sopra Palermo. In quest’ultimo luogo, il 4 settembre 1170, la ragazza morì. Da quel momento il suo nome sembrava destinato all’oblio, difatti nessuno pregava o chiedeva grazie alla religiosa, fino al maggio del 1624, quando la città di Palermo venne invasa da una terribile epidemia di peste: la leggenda racconta che un giorno si recò sul Monte Pellegrino un cacciatore che si era perso,
l’uomo vide apparire Santa Rosalia, che in dialetto gli chiese di avvisare il Vescovo di Palermo che recandosi sul monte avrebbe trovato le sue ossa; il Vescovo si recò nel luogo indicato e vide le ossa mortali della Santa. Il 15 luglio 1624, il religioso decise di portare in processione solenne le ossa per chiedere il miracolo di liberare Palermo dalla peste: così avvenne l’atteso miracolo, si racconta infatti che al passaggio delle sacre ossa il male che affliggeva i cittadini palermitani diminuiva di intensità, ed entro breve la città di Palermo venne liberata dalla Peste.
Da quel momento, ogni 15 luglio, la città di Palermo festeggia la sua patrona con il “festino”, mentre ad ogni 4 settembre (giorno della morte di Rosalia) si fanno pellegrinaggi verso la grotta del Monte Pellegrino, dove oggi si trova il Santuario.
Durante la sera del 14 luglio, i festeggiamenti raggiungono il culmine con la sfilata del Carro Trionfale sul quale svetta la statua di Santa Rosalia.
(Il tema di questa 395esima edizione del Festino è stato “L’inquietudine”, il carro in questione è stato realizzato dai detenuti della Casa di Reclusione dell’Ucciardone).
