I decided to explore my relatively new neighbourhood, and came across this pensive little guy.

I couldn't help noticing the play of light and colours, when suddenly this lady rushed out of the office and before she could complete the third step the cigarette was lit. I wonder how many times this act is repeated up and down the country.
In case you think that I am a big admirer of the building see this.
Foreign observes clustering around the Milan anti-tank guided wire missile system.
The Milan ATGW system is a French-German venture. It is a wire guided SACLOS system (semi-automatic command to line of sight). It replaced the Wombat 120mm a/tk gun in British infantry Anti-Tank Platoons in the late 1970s but has itself been replaced in 2004 by the American Javelin system.
Op Mona is the designation of an invitation to Vienna Document signatories to attend an observation of military activity, usually of an unusually large scale. Since the UK rarely stages such activities, invitations are sent out to observe activities which fall below the threshold, within the framework of "confidence and security building measures". Such operations are a large scale task for the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group (JACIG), the UK organisation for implementing UK arms control policies.

A baby Bald Eagle observes her mother...
Down where the Kickapoo River meets the Wisconsin... about golden hour, in front a few feet and to the right, her mother takes flight. I have to slow the vehicle to miss her.
We turn around and first see her child, above, who had been observing from a nearby perch. Of course her mother teacher is not far off.
THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL MEDIA ETHICS DAY CELEBRATED IN PAKISTAN
The first International Media Ethics Day observed in Pakistan by the Karachi Press Club in collaboration with the Center forInternational Media Ethics (CIME) and Mishal Pakistan. The Day has been created by CIME to engage the media community throughout the world to have an open dialogue on media ethics.
The aim of the Media Ethics Day is to mobilize the journalism community and provide journalists around the world with an opportunity to discuss media ethics issues, examine case studies, and participate in role-plays and debates related to the various ethical dilemmas they might expect to face on the job.
Aamir Latif, President Karachi Union of Journalist stressed on the need to highlight the ethical challenges faced by the Pakistani Journalists and sees this day as an opportunity for the journalists to work together to make their own judgments and identify their own strategies.
CIME aims to prepare and infuse journalists with the energy and support they need to make their own ethical decisions in reporting and negotiating with anyone or anything that might be trying to obstruct their own sound decision-making. The International Media Ethics Day events are especially important because local organisations volunteer to do it for local people and CIME provides support and expertise to help them said Suzanne Harris, Associate for the Center for International Media Ethics.
Puruesh Chaudhary, CIME Ambassador to Pakistan and the Director Content for Mishal Pakistan underscored the need for a joint code of conduct to agree upon basic guidelines for reporters and cameramen and encouraged the journalist community to take on a proactive role in defining ethical practices through the choices and decisions made at work on a daily basis.
The Center for International Media Ethics and Mishal Pakistan believe that it is essential for the local journalists to collaborate with one another on a national level, to express their opinions and become actively involved in enforcing ethical media practices.
Mishal Pakistan, a strategic communication policy design social enterprise in collaboration with the Center for International Media Ethics is observing the International Media Ethics Day at the Karachi Press Club as part of the Agahi Initiative. Agahi, aims to utilize institutionalized, sustainable media structures in Pakistan to raise the bar of journalistic standards through training to increasing responsible, balanced reporting and investigative journalism.
Senior journalist Amir Zia said that a reporter while reporting on a terrorist attack should keep in mind not to glamorize militancy. He said that the western media served as a yardstick, and during the 9/11 attack, the bodies of people were not shown on television, and the privacy of the victims was respected. However in Pakistan, reporters and photographers barged into emergency wards when doctors were struggling with their patients.
Mishal Pakistan Chief Executive Officer, Amir Jahangir on the occasion said that, media in Pakistan is passing through a transition, it is accumulating a lot of information, making Pakistan an information society, however the synthesis of information into knowledge has still to be evolved. Initiatives like this would lead to better understanding of communication challenges, especially in terms of Dignity, Journalism and Leadership.
The objective of the Center for International Media Ethics’ International Media Ethics Day is to mobilize the journalism community and provide media professionals with the opportunity to partake in local workshops. By participating in discussions conducted in their own language, local journalists can feel more comfortable and more enabled to talk about such a complex subject as the ethics of their profession. The center’s driving emphasis is that journalists together have the power to formulate and enforce a tacit code of ethics as a status quo of their profession.
The event was attended by leading journalists from print and electronic media along with representatives of media entities and civil society organizations.
I observed Saturn for the first time recently. I attempted to take a picture through the lens of my telescope with my iPhone. Here is the embarrassing result!

The subject of my photo was something I had never truly observed before. Having been a student at Benedictine University for 3 years, I have never once sat by the lake. On Monday, October 11 I choose to change that. It was early in the morning and there was a fine mist everywhere. To say the lake felt eerily beautiful is an understatement. On one hand, it felt like the perfect setting for a horror movie. It was cold and damp and still somewhat dark outside. I was watching the end of the sunset. All I could help thinking was how scary this lake must be like at night. I’ve driven and walked past it hundreds of times but never truly stopped to observe it. But on the other hand, it felt like a scene from Excalibur to me. Excalibur is a movie about King Arthur and the sword in the stone. In one scene he visits a woman in a lake. The lake is blessed by magic because the woman he visits is the lake itself. It sounds very confusing but I felt like someone was going to pop out of the lake any minute. One could say it was magical. Besides the sight of the lake, I should also mention the smells and sounds. The birds were chirping especially extra this morning. I never truly thought about how much I missed the sounds of birds chirping in the mooring. This is the first year in a while I’ve had early morning classes. Usually, my classes started at around 11. By the time I woke up the birds had already stopped singing their songs. I’ve always loved the smell of grass. The grass by the lake had a distinct smell to it. Like the wilderness itself was surrounding me. The damp ground would make a little splash sound every time I stepped on it. The best way to describe the air around me was that morning was fresh. When I walked back inside Goodwin I longed for the smell to return. This visit reminded me of the trips to the lake I would make with my family as a kid. My family hasn’t had time to do one because me and both of my siblings are in college right now. We barely get to see each other and this site visit reminded me of the good times we had growing up before all this responsibly was placed upon us. Sitting on the bench looking across the lake I felt somewhat relaxed. For the first time in a while, the stress of life and school was not placed upon me. Cuddled up in my hoodie and sweat pants sipping a warm coffee I felt almost out of touch with reality. The lake for me was a sense of escape from the world lived in. I wasn’t confined to a classroom or a library staring at a computer screen. I was out in the world enjoying it in its natural form like my ancestors did before me.
