London – Lloyds Building
Construction started: 1978
Completed: 18. Nov. 1986
Architects: Richard Rogers and Partners
The building at the Lime Street is the head office of the insurance institution "Lloyd's of London".
This approach of outwardly demonstrative technologyIn in the Lloyd's Building Richard Rogers continued also in his later high-rise constructions. This unconventional construction was surprisingly close to the futurists' visions (=> Centre Pompidou, Paris).
Rogers's proposal for the new Lloyd's building was just as controversial as his co-designed Centre Pompidou in Paris, due to its so-called High Tech style design, where functional elements such as pipes are moved to the outside of the building to create more interior space.
The exterior is more refined than that of Centre Pompidou however, with polished stainless steel and glass instead of a cacophony of colors.
Nonetheless, when Richard Rogers's design was shown to the public in 1978 it caused quite a controversy as it contrasted sharply with the centuries old buildings in the area and in particular the adjacent historic Leadenhall Market.

C’est un chantier hors-norme ; celui de la gare de Mons. Hors-norme par son envergure mais aussi et surtout par son prix et ses dépassements de délais. Entre l’avant-projet et la version finale, le budget a explosé. De 37 millions à la base, il a gonflé pour atteindre à 324 millions d’euros aujourd’hui. Le budget initial a donc été multiplié par dix. Tout cela sans refaire de marché public. Une procédure illégale. A la question du budget vient s’ajouter celle des délais. Normalement programmée pour 2015, l’inauguration de la gare ne devrait pas avoir lieu avant 2023.
This is an extraordinary site; that of Mons station. Unconventional by its scale but also and above all by its price and its overruns. Between the draft and the final version, the budget exploded. From 37 million at the base, it has swelled to reach 324 million euros today. The initial budget was therefore multiplied by ten. All this without redoing the public market. An illegal procedure. In addition to the question of the budget, there is the question of deadlines. Normally scheduled for 2015, the inauguration of the station is not expected to take place until 2023.

Icerya sp. The male is 2.5 mm in length. An immature recently settled sedentary female a mm or so in length or so in length can be seen mostly under the wing. Make a habit of looking for the much smaller males when you see a bunch of female scales. You have to leave the scale alone to multiply and look every day. The males do not fed and live perhaps for two days. Found on Guava leaves at the house after a month of looking. .
Happy Birthday, Special Treasure
God gave a gift to the world when you were born—
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person’s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you’ve done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.

Le volcan de Capelinhos aux Açores
Le volcan de Capelinhos - ou volcan des petites chapelles en français - forme un cap à l’extrémité occidentale de l'île de Faial aux Açores. Son cône volcanique érodé compose un paysage quasi lunaire dont les falaises plongent dans l'océan Atlantique. Ce volcan est né d'une éruption qui dura plus d’un an. C’est d’ailleurs la seule et unique éruption de ce volcan. Elle commence par un épisode sismique en mai 1957 alors que l’éruption proprement dite, d’abord sous-marine près des îlots de Capelinhos, s’est déroulée de septembre 1957 à octobre 1958. De violentes explosions ont formé une petite île puis l’accumulation de cendres et les coulées de lave ont donné naissance à une presqu’île reliant le volcan à la terre. L’archipel des Açores s’est ainsi agrandi de 2,4 km².
Cette zone protégée abrite aujourd’hui une végétation côtière originale et des colonies de sternes pierregarin. En se rendant près du volcan, on croise l’ancien phare miraculeusement épargné mais désormais loin du cap et quelques maisons détruites par l’éruption qui accentuent le caractère dramatique de ce paysage véritablement unique aux Açores.
Histoire d’une éruption
Le 27 septembre 1957 à l’aube, un baleinier qui pêchait au large de l’île de Faial observe d’étranges remous à la surface de l'océan à quelques 800 m du rivage. Ces bulles constituées de gaz annoncent la première explosion qui se produit à 8h du matin en libérant un gigantesque panache volcanique. La zone de remous s'agrandit et à la fin de la journée, la colonne volcanique monte déjà à 4 km d'altitude. Les explosions se multiplient dans les jours suivants et le matériel volcanique éjecté s'accumule jusqu’à créer le 29 octobre une petite île en forme de fer à cheval, baptisée l’île Neuve. En novembre, d'autres explosions donnent naissance à une seconde île qui fusionne avec la première et se rattache enfin à l'île principale de Faial. Le 16 décembre, des coulées de lave basaltique apparaissent sous les yeux de nombreux scientifiques - dont Haroun Tazieff - venus du monde entier pour assister à ce rare spectacle. Les cendres volcaniques qui retombent sur l’île de Faial détruisent la végétation et recouvrent maisons, routes et cultures. Une véritable désolation à laquelle s’ajoutent l’odeur de soufre et les tremblements du sol. Début 1958, l'activité sous-marine se poursuit et l'éruption se . Merci au site

The Capelinhos volcano in the Azores
The Capelinhos volcano - or volcano of the small chapels in French - forms a cape at the western end of the island of Faial in the Azores. Its eroded volcanic cone composes an almost lunar landscape whose cliffs plunge into the Atlantic Ocean. This volcano was born from an eruption that lasted more than a year. This is also the one and only eruption of this volcano. It begins with a seismic episode in May 1957 while the actual eruption, first underwater near the islets of Capelinhos, took place from September 1957 to October 1958. Violent explosions formed a small island then the he accumulation of ashes and lava flows gave rise to a peninsula connecting the volcano to the earth. The Azores archipelago has thus grown by 2.4 km².
This protected area is now home to original coastal vegetation and colonies of common terns. Going near the volcano, we cross the old lighthouse miraculously spared but now far from the cape and some houses destroyed by the eruption which accentuate the dramatic character of this truly unique landscape in the Azores.
History of an eruption
On September 27, 1957 at dawn, a whaler who was fishing off the island of Faial observed strange eddies on the surface of the ocean some 800 m from the shore. These bubbles made up of gas announce the first explosion which occurs at 8 am by releasing a gigantic volcanic plume. The backwater area expands and at the end of the day, the volcanic column already rises to 4 km in altitude. The explosions multiplied in the following days and the ejected volcanic material accumulated until the creation on October 29 of a small horseshoe-shaped island, called ÃŽle Neuve. In November, other explosions gave birth to a second island which merged with the first and finally joined the main island of Faial. On December 16, basaltic lava flows appeared before the eyes of many scientists - including Haroun Tazieff - who had come from all over the world to witness this rare spectacle. The volcanic ash that falls on the island of Faial destroys the vegetation and covers houses, roads and crops. A real desolation to which are added the smell of sulfur and the tremors of the ground. In early 1958, underwater activity continued and the eruption
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the algal blooms swirling around the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Japan.
Algae blooms refer to the rapid multiplying of phytoplankton – microscopic marine plants that drift on or near the surface of the sea. Excessive algal growth, or algal blooms, can become visible to the naked eye and collectively tint ocean waters, allowing us to detect these tiny organisms from space.
Although algal blooms are a natural and essential part of life in the sea, human activity is also said to increase the number of annual blooms. Harmful algal blooms can be stimulated by environmental factors, such as light, warmer water temperatures and excessive nutrients.
In the image pictured here, captured on 14 June 2019, high concentrations of algae can be seen around 130 km off Hokkaido Island, the second largest island of Japan. This particular algal bloom measured more than 500 km across and 200 km wide, with the area pictured here showing just a small portion of the bloom, around 100 km from north to south and around 110 km from east to west.
During the spring bloom season, nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates are more abundant in the surface waters. Without direct in situ measurements, it is difficult to distinguish the type of algae that cover the ocean here. Algae is then usually carried by winds and currents closer to the coast of Japan.
It is in this part of the Pacific Ocean, near Hokkaido, where the colder Oyashio Current converges from the north with the warmer Kuroshio Current, which flows from the south. When two currents with different temperatures and densities collide, they often create eddies – swirls of water drifting along the edge of the two water masses. The phytoplankton growing atop the surface waters become concentrated along the boundaries of these eddies and trace out the motions of the water.
Phytoplankton play an important role in the food chain, but they also have an impact on the global carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide on a scale equivalent to that of terrestrial plants. Primary production is often used to describe the synthesis of organic material from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis. Even small variations in primary productivity can affect carbon dioxide concentrations, as well as influencing biodiversity and fisheries.
As ocean surfaces warm in response to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases, phytoplankton productivity will need to be monitored both consistently and systematically.
Satellite data can not only be used to track the growth and spread of harmful algae blooms in order to alert and mitigate against damaging impacts for tourism and fishing industries, but have also recently proven fundamental to providing a global view of phytoplankton and their role in, and response to, climate change.

I wanted to test the HighRes mode on my OM-5 II. My destination was the former Zollern II/IV coal mine in Dortmund, which is now a mining museum.
Since I was expecting long exposure times anyway, I selected the High Res Shot [Tripod] function, which takes 80MP images by taking eight individual shots with a slightly shifted sensor.
What I hadn't considered beforehand was that for an exposure time of, say, 10 seconds, this time is of course multiplied by eight, meaning you have to wait more than 80 seconds before you can take the next shot! Not for the impatient.
Rabbits are good at multiplying! Since Autumn has returned to school, several of the rabbits who live here are helping her with her multiplication homework.

====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

By measuring starlight - specifically, the color and brightness - astronomers have determined that our Milky Way has about 100 billion stars in its system. Using the Milky Way as a model, astronomers have multiplied the number of stars in a typical galaxy (100 billion) by the number of galaxies in the known universe (2 trillion). The result is an absolutely astounding number of approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our known universe. Given that the earth’s star (the sun) has eight planets revolving around it, one of which has humans on it. Is it reasonable to believe that human beings here on the planet earth are the only beings in existence?

Cooled down the white balance, decreased saturation, dodge/burn, applied two multiply layers for silvery tones, curves adjustment and hue adjustments.
4 exposures of DRI technique. Masking and lighten mode for the jetty at opacity of 65%. Multiply and lighten mode for the sky and reflection. It took me about 60 minutes to get this final piece of mine. Some tweak in photoshop.
i seem to be multiplying not sure that is a good thing.
last day today then heading back to blighty and with luck back to the dancing yay.
did a bit here but not much.
Who doesn't love bunnies, who doesn't love chocolate, especially at Easter time!!! Bunnies are sweet... chocolate is sweeter =)
so we all know that viruses multiply by spreading lots of viral particles that infect new cells and that's when our immune system is sending out the T-lymphocytes to kill the bad guys. Well, not Chikungunya!!! This fella is tricking the infected cell to grow "tentacles" to reach the neighbouring cells! OMG is that a bridge too far?!
Happy weekend over there, with or without prey :)
