A friend of mine is engaged in refurbishing, renewing a former home of hers. Throwing out the old and bringing in the new with a flourish. I visited for a while yesterday...wandering through the old farm house, trying to document the works in progress. It's a bit daunting to realize the amount of work to be done, but then at the same time it's overwhelming to take in what she has accomplished already.
And as you can see, she's adept at multi-tasking.

ARCTIC OCEAN - A multi-year ice floe slides down the starboard side of the Coast Guard Cutter Healy Aug. 11, 2009, as the ship heads north into even thicker ice. "You can tell that this is a multi-year ice floe by the light blue melt ponds that have formed on top of the floe," said Pablo Clemente-Colón, chief scientist at the U.S. National Ice Center.

Wikipedia says:
Kuntur Wasi (Quechua kuntur condor, wasi house, "condor house") is the name given to the ruins of a religious center with complex architecture and stone sculptures, located in the Andean highlands of Peru.
It is believed the inhabitants had a link with the Chavín culture.
Kuntur Wasi is located in the Northern Mountain Range of Peru, specifically at the headwaters of the Jequetepeque River, in the region of the city of Cajamarca near the small town of San Pablo. The Jequetepeque valley provided a transportation corridor between the coastal region and the highlands.
Kuntur Wasi was a center where people congregated.
It is thought to have been constructed around 1000-700 BCE, during the Initial Period. The architecture consists of a hill-top temple, quadrangular platforms, a sunken courtyard, and series of rooms.
In the floor of one room there is an anthropomorphic figure made of clay, about 30 inches (75 cm) in height. It is painted with cinnabar red, malachite green, and black, yellow, and pink. Its face has big square eyes and a wide mouth with prominent canine teeth. There are also stepped platforms and funeral structures.
Lithosculptures have been found, similar to the Chavín style.
Kuntur Wasi was occupied between the years 1200-50 BC.
It was first discovered in 1945 by Julio C. Tello. In 1989, scientists from the University of Tokyo excavated four tombs at Kuntur Wasi. Valuable items, such as pectoral necklaces (decorative breastplates), gold crowns, ornamental stone beads, earrings, sets of dishes and iconographies of people were discovered in the burial area.
Since the beginning of the University of Tokyo's archaeological mission, eight tombs have been found in the area.
The Kuntur Wasi Museum, managed by local citizens, opened in 1994.

Según Wikipedia:
Kuntur Wasi es un sitio arqueológico que data del Formativo Inferior, se encuentra ubicado en el centro poblado del mismo nombre, en la provincia de San Pablo, en el departamento de Cajamarca, en el Perú.
En la lengua quechua Kuntur Wasi significa "Casa del Cóndor". Según el arqueológo japonés, Yoshio Onuki, estudioso principal de este sitio arqueológico, Kuntur Wasi es una expresión prechavín pero que posteriormente posee una gran influencia no solo de Chavín sino también de Cupisnique especialmente en la orfebrería y la cerámica.
Kuntur Wasi pasó por los siguientes periodos:
Fase Ídolo: Construcción del centro ceremonial con pisos enlucidos con cal de color blanco. En esta fase hay una cierta relación con Huacaloma y Pacopampa.
Fase Kuntur: Construcción de un nuevo complejo ceremonial en forma de U. Se desarrolla la cerámica fina y la orfebrería.
Fase Copa: Modificación del complejo arquitectónico ceremonial y la renovación del sistema de canales de drenaje.
Fase Sotera: Existe una relación con la Fase Layzón del valle de Cajamarca. Corresponde a la decadencia de Kuntur Wasi.

Photography Monthly’s Project 52 is officially over but I couldn’t resist posting today’s photo.
Today was the Reading Half Marathon and my mum, dad and I went into the town to cheer on the runners and take some photos. We had friends who were taking part. Part of the course was near the town’s main shopping centre. The Oracle. The Oracle includes a large multi-story car park. We passed near this and I thought that the spiral ramp might make a great photo. So off I headed.

Details
Typhoon provides the RAF with a multi-role combat aircraft, capable of being deployed in the full spectrum of air operations, from air policing, to peace support, through to high intensity conflict. It is currently employed on permanent ops in the Falkland Islands, UK QRA North and UK QRA South.
Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain formally agreed to start development of the aircraft in 1988 with contracts for a first batch of 148 aircraft – of which 53 were for the RAF – signed ten years later. Deliveries to the RAF started in 2003 to 17(R) Sqn who were based at BAE Systems Warton Aerodrome in Lancashire (alongside the factory where the aircraft were assembled) while detailed development and testing of the aircraft was carried out. Formal activation of the first Typhoon Squadron at RAF Coningsby occurred on the 1st Jul 2005. The aircraft took over responsibility for UK QRA on 29 Jun 2007 and was formally declared as an advanced Air Defence platform on 1 Jan 2008.
Initial production aircraft of the F2 Tranche 1 standard were capable of air-to-air roles only and were the first Typhoons to hold UK QRA duties. In order to fulfill a potential requirement for Typhoon to deploy to Op HERRICK, urgent single-nation work was conducted on Tranche 1 to develop an air-to-ground capability in 2008. Tranche 1 aircraft were declared as multi-role in Jul 2008, gaining the designation FGR4 (T3 2-seat variant), fielding the Litening Laser Designator Pod and Paveway 2, Enhanced Paveway 2 and 1000lb freefall class of weapons. Only a handful of F2/T1 aircraft remain, these will be upgraded to FGR4/T3 by the end of 2012. Tranche 2 aircraft deliveries commenced under the 4-nation contract in 2008, in the air-to-air role only. These aircraft were deployed to the Falkland Islands to take-over duties from the Tornado F3 in Sep 09. Currently, upgrades to Tranche 2 continue as part of the main contract, with air-to-ground capability expected in 2012.
A total of 53 Tranche 1 aircraft were delivered, with Tranche 2 contract provisioning for 91 aircraft. 24 of these were diverted to fulfill the RSAF export campaign, leaving 67 Tranche 2 aircraft due for delivery to the RAF. The Tranche 3 contract has been signed and will deliver 40 aircraft. With the Tranche 1 aircraft fleet due to retire over the period 2015-18, this will leave 107 Typhoon aircraft in RAF service until 2030.
Future weapons integration will include Meteor air-to-air missile, Paveway IV, Storm Shadow, Brimstone and Small Diameter Bomb. Additionally, it is intended to upgrade the radar to an Active Electronically Scanned Array.

Kompleks Candi Gedongsongo
Memiliki BioEnergy Terbaik di Asia
> Kompleks Candi Gedongsongo
yang terletak di lereng Gunung
Ungaran
Kabupaten Semarang, berada pada ketinggian 1.800 meter
diatas
permukaan laut. Di kawasan
cagar budaya Candi Gedongsongo
yang bersuhu
rata-rata 20 s/d 30 derajat celcius..bahkan bisa lebih dr
ituini ternyata memiliki bio
energi terbaik di Asia.
> Bioenergi di kawasan ini bahkan
lebih baik dari yang berada di
pegunungan Tibet atau
pegunungan lain di Asia. Pernyataan ini muncul
dari seorang pengusaha
sekaligus anggota pernafasan
Daya Putih asal
Australia Dr. Ny Jennet.
> Jennet yang memiliki 12 jaringan usaha di Eropa dan
Australia harus
menyempatkan diri berkeliling
Asia untuk sekedar menghirup
udara yang
bersih. Setelah mencoba menghirup udara bersih di
beberapa pegunungan
di Asia, dia menemukan udara
yang mengandung bioenergi
terbaik, yaitu
di Geongsongo. > Mengapa Jennet harus susah
payah mencari udara bersih
sampai
keliling Asia ? kata dia, bioenergi
yang bersih sangat penting
untuk memberikan kebugaran. Selain
itu, setelah kit amenghirup
bioenergi ini
dapat memberikan kesegaran di
pikiran sehingga memunculkan
ide-ide segar. Hal ini akan sangat
membantu memberkan kemajuan
dan
meningkatkan kualitas hidup.
>
> Nama Gedongsongo > Lokasi komplek Candi
Gedongsongo sangat mudah
dijangkau. Tepatnya
berada pada jarak sekitar 15 km
dari kota Kabupaten Semarang
Jawa Tengah. Dapat dicapai lewat
Kecamatan Ambarawa Kab.
Semarang atau dari
kota Kabupaten Semarang. Dua
jalur tersebut akan bertemu di
satu tempat wisata Bandungan yang
jaraknya tinggal 5 km menuju
Gedongsongo.
> Selain terdapat bangunan
Candi yang berjumlah sembilan
unit, di sekitar lokasi dikelilingi hutan
Pinus milik Perhutani. Candi-candi
tersebut sampai kini belum
diketahui kapan dan siapa
pembuat bangunan
tersebut. Karena di semua bangunan candi tidak terdapat
prasasti apapun.
> Komplek candi ini mulai dikenal
sejak ditemukan oleh Raffles
pada
tahun 1804. Ketika itu komplek candi ini dinamai ''Gedong pitoe''
''rena saat ditemukan terdapat
tujuh komplek bangunan candi.
Sejak
penemuan Raffles, komplek candi
di lereng Gunung Ungaran ini terus
diteliti, baik oleh para arkeolog
dari Belanda pada masa itu
maupun
dari arkeolog Indonesia. Dalam
perjalanan tersebut ternyata ditemukan
komplek bangunan candi yang
berjumlah sembilan unit, maka
selanjutnya
komplek Candi ini dinamai Candi
Gedongsongo. > Nama Gedongsongo berasal dari
bahasa Jawa, dari suku kata
Gedong
berarti rumah dan songo berarti
sembilan. Gedongsongo secara
harafiah diartikan sebagai sembilan rumah
dewa. Karena candi yag terletak
di
ketinggian dianggap sebagai
tempat pemujaan.
> Hanya saja dari sembilan komplek bangunan candi yang
ada di lokasi
tersebut, terdapat lima
bangunan yang masih utuh
bentuk bangunannya.
Sedangkan empat bangunan lainnya tinggal pondasi dan
reruntuhan
bangunannya saja.
>
> Candi Hindu untuk Makam
> Para sejarawan sampai saat ini belum dapat memastikan kapan
candi
itu dibangun dan siapa pendiri
komplek candi Gedongsongo.
Namun
melihat bentuk arsitektur candi, terutama bentuk bingkai kaki
candi,
dapat disimpulkan bangunan
candi ini sejaman dengan komplek
candi
Dieng. Kemungkinan candi ini dibangun sekitar abad VIII M,
pada masa
pemerintahan Dinasti Sanjaya.
Hanya saja siapa nama raja
pendirinya
belum dapat diketahui. > Candi Gedongsongo berlatar
belakang agama hindu, hal ini
dapat
dilihat dari arca-arca yang
menempati relung-relung candi.
Misalnya arca Ciwa Mahadewa, Ciwa
Mahaguru, Ganeca, Dhurga
Nahisasuramardhini,
Nandiswara dan Mahakala.
> Menurut Pakar tentang Candi
Evi Saraswati menyebutkan bangunan candi
di Indonesia dapat dibedakan
menjadi dua tipe. Yaitu candi
Hindu dan
Candi Budha. Ciri umum dari
kedua tipe tersebut terletak pada bentuk
bangunan. Candi Hindu cenderung
ramping, lancip dan tinggi.
Sedangkan
Candi Budha berbentuk bulat dan
besar seperti candi Borobudur. > Dilihat dari fungsinya candi juga
dibedakan menjadi dua fungsi,
yaitu candi sebagai tempat
pemujaan atau ibadah dan candi
yang dipakai
sebagai tempat pemakaman. Sedangkan candi yang berada di
komplek
Gedongsongo ini diperkirakan
merupakan candi untuk
pemakaman. Karena
pada saat ditemukan di sekitar candi banyak terdapat abu.
Sangat
mungkin abu ini merupakan
bekas pembakaran orang yang
meninggal.
Sesuai ajaran Hindu orang yang meninggal biasanya dibakar.
> Bangunan candi yang masih
utuh bentuknya kini tinggal lima
bangunan,
yaitu candi I, II, III, IV dan V. Candi
I terdiri satu bangunan dan masih utuh, candi II terdiri dua
bangunan bangunan induk masih
utuh
dan satunya lagi tidak utuh.
Candi III terdiri dari tiga
bangunan yang semuanya masih utuh. Candi IV
terdapat empat bangunan candi,
tetapi
tinggal satu bangunan candi saja
yang masih utuh. Sedangkan
Candi V tampat bekas-bekas pondasi
candi yang menunjukkan bahwa
di sana dahulu
banyak sekali bangunan candi.
Tetapi sekarang tinggal satu
bangunan candi induk yang masih utuh.
Candi VI, VII, VIII dan IX sekarang
sudah
tidak jelas lagi sisa-sisanya,
karena beberapa reruntuhan
bangunan yang terdapat di sana banyak
yang diamankan. Demikian pula
beberapa
arca juga disimpan oleh Suaka

Adam was born to a multi-talented beauty queen Mother and a Father who, in addition to being a US Army Spy and a Counter-Intelligence Special Agent, was also a highly accomplished entrepreneur. Adam was taught at a young age that, in both life and business, loyalty is a requirement for success. He’s had the honor of working directly with his father in several of the family businesses. In fact, this is where he learned crucial entrepreneurial skills and honed his talents with international business strategies and venture capitalism.
Adam earned his Bachelors of Science Degree in International Business and Marketing from the University of Utah. He was hand-picked by the President of the University’s renowned School of Business to compete with dozens of other ambitious nationwide-graduates for the opportunity to secure a lucrative job within a prestigious Fortune 100 company.
Adam‘s hard work and creativity helped him land this job of a lifetime. He obtained incredible business experience there and spent years innovating, improving processes and setting sales records. Although this dream job in Traditional Corporate America was a fun challenge for him, and something he truly enjoyed mastering, Adam’s natural entrepreneurial spirit kept nudging him to do something more significant with his time and talents.
Since 2001, Adam has been involved in the Health and Wellness Industry as a successful Entrepreneur, Broker, Product Developer and Manufacturer of Cosmeceutical products. During his career, he has worked with some of the most recognizable Fortune 500 businesses along with many top international Network Marketing companies. Adam has consistently proven his unique ability to help his clients achieve their goals through creative Distribution-Channel Placement, innovative Product Development and custom Manufacturing. Adam currently owns three profitable businesses.
Admittedly, Adam was not initially a fan of Network Marketing. He did not understand the business model because it was new to him. However, once he learned that the REAL focus of Direct Sales is to help average people get a taste of entrepreneurialism --- with minimal risk and at a low cost --- Adam was absolutely convinced of the potential with Multi-Level Marketing.
Since joining the company as one of the original 11 founding distributors, Adam has discovered that many of his life-goals truly do align perfectly with Network Marketing. Adam enjoys helping others find significance. Adam is most grateful for the complete time-freedom he has with his fantastic wife and five children. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Adam Paul Green, MXI Corp Ambassador and Multi-Millionaire Earner.
