View On Black

The name 'Clingendael' means 'valley in the dunes'. The original part of the Clingendael building was built between 1643 and 1660 for Philip Doublet, whose family had moved to The Hague from the south of the Netherlands. Several of the Doublets held the office of Treasurer General in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces.

Philip's wife was the sister of the celebrated poet and statesman, Constantijn Huygens, and Philip’s son married one of Huygens’ daughters, Suzanna. The architecture of the original part of Clingendael shares some of the features of the Huygens’s country house in Voorburg, Hofwijck.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Clingendael belonged to the Van Brienens, a prominent family of merchants and bankers. During the period of French rule in the Netherlands, Willem Joseph van Brienen was appointed Mayor of Amsterdam and elevated by Napoleon to 'Baron de l’Empire'.

The last of the Van Brienens in the male line, Arnout, built a racecourse for his guests at Clingendael; it has since been moved to nearby Duindigt. Arnout’s unmarried daughter Marguérite, known as Lady Daisy, laid out Clingendael’s fine Japanese garden.

During the Second World War, the house was occupied by the Nazi Reich’s Commissioner for the Occupied Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and his family.

In 1954, Clingendael became the property of the municipality of The Hague, which it remains today. Since 1983, the Clingendael Institute (the Netherlands Institute of International Relations) has been located in Huys Clingendael.

"Crash culture, hacking, cyberpunk, internet profond, résistance, guérilla digitale, apocalypse, fichier Edvige... Quand on aime, on ne compte pas. Dix-huit minutes d'interview exclusive et de culture cyberpunk enregistrées en novembre 2008 avec Thierry Ehrmann dans son quartier général de Saint-Romain-au-Mont-d'Or.

Dans ce premier volet de notre entretien, notre sulfureux camarade revient sur les récentes démêlées judiciaires de la Demeure du Chaos, le fichier Edvige, les bases de données étatiques, la CNIL, les nouveaux dispositifs de vidéosurveillance et les dangers qui pèsent sur nos libertés individuelles à l'heure du tout numérique. Une addition essentielle à notre thématique sur la survie.

Remerciements à Thierry Ehrmann, Nadège, Jo et toute l'équipe de la Demeure du Chaos, à Lukas Zpira pour ses photographies des enfers de Saint-Romain-au-Mont-d'Or et au groupe MaterialErmüdung pour la bande-son." dixit Laurent Courau fondateur du mythique e-zine LaSpirale.org (1991-2009)

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)

During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.

SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.

For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.

SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.

The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.

ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.

ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.

The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.

ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.

ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.

* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.

Encounter with a giant "muppet", during a demonstration in Palais Royal square in Paris to protest against the government politics regarding arts and culture.

"...on the floor of his room."

(On black.)

Besides attending a class today and writing reports, I spent the afternoon at a friend's house. We talked a lot and she put on some Eddie Izzard. It was fun. :)

I've been tagged. By Trixiepix. And just when I thought I'd wrap up the day and lay my thoughts to sleep... :)

Here we go:

#01 I (used to) change interests on a daily basis, so keeping up with 365 is sometimes a real pain the butt, but I'm determined to stick to, to prove myself I can go through with something - not just drop the idea before I've REALLY given it a go.

#02 I'm a pervert, I'm a poet, I'm a romantic soul.

I really like weird (and I do mean weird, Necrophilia variations is right up my alley) books and movies and music.

#03 When going out for a drink, I usually drink coffee, or during the winter, black tea, vanilla flavoured.

#04 I adore chocolate. The kind with 50 or more percent of cocoa. The bitterness tastes so sweet to me. :) Also, I like chocolate with chili peppers.

#05 Like Trixiepics, I get a kick out of organizing things. On my computer. Into folders and zip files and partitions and so on and so forth...

#06 I like to look at people. Not in a voyeur kind of way, I just like to look at people when I walk past them, to see their faces, to see what they're wearing, how fast they are walking. It interests me. :)

#07 I (used to) usually give up, if the results were not perfect the first time. I had to learn to deal with mistakes.

#08 REMOVED

#09 The first time I did a snow angel was a couple of days ago.

#10 I adore the feeling of fresh, clean hands. I just love it. It feels wonderful. :)

#11 My memory is like swiss cheese, but without the cheese. This is one of the reasons I began 365. To have something to remember ALL of the days by.

#12 I'd like to improve my photos, but lately I don't take enough time to produce results I'd be really proud of. Shame on me.

#13 Lately most of what I wear is black. Last year I was sort of getting into really coloured stuff, but this year I mostly go for black. (Except this one outfit I wear at home - yellow sweatshirt and red pants.)

#14 I thought for sure I wouldn't get tagged. :)

#15 I really like the 80's Yugoslavian punk/new wave scene. There's something about that era that I find so alluring I can't even say. The music, the rebel attitude. (Those days, there actually was something to rebel about. Nowadays, you can do almost whatever you like, so being a rebel these days is pretty much pointless.)

#16 I don't like sports. I don't like to do them. I don't like to watch. I was always absolutely horrible at team sports. The only exception is running. I like that, because sometimes that's when I'm most alone and have all my thoughts to myself.

Done! Woo-hoo! :)

That was a lot of text. Probably the longest description I'll ever write. :)

This was day fifty-seven.

Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.

The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.

At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]

The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.

Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley

Yesterday my sister and I visited the Powell Volvo dealer in Scottsdale, Arizona. They were making some incredible good deals on these great cars and my sister bought one (a great V50 station-wagon). While she worked out the details with the dealer, I walked around and took photos of the many Volvos on the lot. You wouldn't know there was an economic recession going on in Scottsdale, Arizona, for this Volvo dealership was doing great and had many customers (the salesman told me Volvo is owned by Ford now).

Ever since I lived in Sweden, I've loved Volvo cars. These new ones are super! I especially like the body-style and look of the C30 coupe (the fast spiffy car used in the popular film "Twilight", driven by Edward the teenage vampire). Above is a photo of the back end of one of the C30 Volvos on display, pretty cool!

INFORMATION ON VOLVO CARS:

Volvo Cars, or Volvo Personvagnar AB, is a Swedish automobile manufacturer founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, and currently owned by Ford Motor Company. The name Volvo, Latin for "I roll" (or "I drive" in a modern sense, was thought to be a good trademark for a ball bearing as well as for an automobile.

Volvo was originally formed as a subsidiary company to the ball bearing maker SKF. It was not until 1935 when Volvo AB was introduced on the Swedish stock exchange that SKF sold most of the shares in the company. Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1999, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company as part of its Premier Automotive Group.

Volvo produces models ranging from SUVs, wagons, and sedans to compact executive sedans and coupes. With 2,500 dealerships worldwide in 100 markets; 60 percent of sales come from Europe, 30 percent from North America, and the other 10 percent is from the rest of the world. Volvo cars have always evoked a reputation for solidity and reliability.[

Volvo's market share is shrinking in the North American market. However, Volvo increased its market share in new markets such as Russia, China and India. Specifically, Volvo expected sales in Russia to double and exceed 20,000 units by the end of 2007, making Russia one of the ten biggest markets for the company. Volvo already boasts the leading position in Russia's luxury car segment.

Older models were often compared to tractors, partly because Volvo AB was and still is a manufacturer of heavy equipment, earlier Bolinder-Munktell, now Volvo Construction Equipment. Considered by some to be slow and heavy, they earned the distinction "brick" as a term of endearment for the classic, block-shaped Volvo, with the more powerful turbo charged variants known as "turbobricks". More recent models have moved away from the boxy styles favored in the 1970s and 1980s and built a reputation for sporting performance, but not before the phenomenal success of factory-supported Volvo 240 turbos winning both the 1985 European Touring Car Championship (ETC) and 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC).

Castelló d'Empúries, Girona (Spain).

View Large On White

ENGLISH

Castelló d'Empúries is a town and municipality in the Alt Empordà. The town lies 9 km east of Figueres.

Castelló d’Empúries, a village dated in the ninth century, became during the Middle Ages a flourishing town since it was converted into the county capital of Empúries.

From that period date the most important buildings and streets of the monument district, that have kept the traditional appearance, like porticoed squares, Bordell Street, the handicrafts districts and the ‘Call’ or Jewish quarter, reminiscences from the medieval town planning.

CASTELLANO

Castelló d’Empúries es un municipio de unos 10.021 habitantes (Idescat 2006) situado en la comarca del Alt Empordà, en la provincia de Girona (España). Se encuentra a unos 17 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar y tiene una superficie considerablemente grande: 42,3 km² (en las cuales se incluye el Parque Natural de "Els Aiguamolls de l'Empordà" y tierras). Tiene dos núcleos de población, el núcleo medieval de Castelló d’Empúries en el interior, y la localidad costera de Ampuriabrava.

La primera mención de Castelló d’Empúries data al año 879. Es en 1007 que se conocen noticias nuevas sobre el municipio, hablan de la iglesia Santa María, que se supone, estaba situada donde ahora hay la iglesia gótica.

Castelló d’Empúries, de 41,84 km2, tuvo su máximo esplendor durante la Edad Media desde que, en el sigle XI, los Condes d’Empúries instalaron su residencia y se convertió en capital del condado.

De esta época datan los edificios que se encuentran en el núcleo o barrio monumental, que conserva su aspecto tradicional. En este núcleo podemos encontrar algunas pervivencias del urbanisme antiguo como plazas porticades, la calle del Burdel, los barrios artesanos y el Callo, entre las calles de St. Pere més Baix y de las Peixateries Velles, que actualmente sólo conserva su trazado urbanístico.

En la última semana de abril de este 2023, impartiremos el curso internacional "Microscopía para la observación de microorganismos de turberas" en Chile, gracias a la invitación de la Universidad de la Frontera, del Decanato de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales y del Departamento de Ciencias Agronómicas y Recursos Naturales, de esta Universidad, a través de su director, el Profesor Rubén Carrillo López, impulsor de esta actividad y con la colaboración de los profesores de este Departamento los Drs Patricio Pacheco y Jorge Baraona.

De carácter abierto, y con un enfoque fundamentalmente práctico, esta actividad formativa y de investigación pretende difundir el valor de estos ecosistemas singulares desde diferentes puntos de vista, no solo destacando su importante papel a nivel global como fijadoras de CO2, sino también indagando, dando a conocer, y poniendo en valor, la gran biodiversidad microbiana que albergan y que está en el mismo origen de su génesis.

Las actividades de campo y las de laboratorio centradas en la observación, determinación, y registro visual del material que se investigue, constituirán el eje central del curso en el que el microscopio constituirá una herramienta esencial.

Se explorarán así, profundizando en ellas, las posibilidades que ofrece la microscopía óptica y las diferentes técnicas de observación e iluminación para conseguir los objetivos propuestos y fundamentalmente para acercarnos a los principales grupos de protistas y a algunos taxones en particular, exclusivos de las turberas del hemisferio austral.

Tal y como figura en la información que mostramos aquí, a la ceremonia de la sesión inaugural, que tendrá lugar el día 25 de abril a las 10h en el Auditorio de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales, seguirán en los días siguientes las actividades que se detallan en el programa, en las que esperamos que se cubran las expectativas generadas, del que posiblemente, sea el primer curso de estas características que se imparte en territorio chileno.

Agradecemos desde aquí una vez más al Profesor Rubén Carrillo, Director del Departamento de Ciencias Agronómicas y Recursos Naturales y al Decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales de la Universidad de La Frontera Sr. Edison Altamirano, el interés y la generosidad con la que han impulsado esta iniciativa, que fortalece los vínculos entre personas, instituciones como la UFRO y la EBI y países como Chile y España.

El papamoscas cerrojillo, (Ficedula hypoleuca), es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia de los papamoscas (Muscicapidae), extendido por la mayor parte del Viejo Mundo. No está amenazada y su población europea se estima entre 24.000.000 y 39.000.000 ejemplares.

Descripción

Es un pájaro pequeño, mide entre 12 y 13,5 cm de largo. La especie presenta dimorfismo sexual. El macho en época de cría es principalmente negro en sus partes superiores y blanco en las inferiores. En otoño e invierno su plumaje es más parecido al de la hembra, con el dorso y la cabeza pardas y las alas negras. En ámbos plumajes el macho presenta una mancha blanca en la frente, justo encima del pico. La hembra es blanca por debajo, y de color pardo por encima, excepto las alas que son negruzcas. En ámbos sexos las las tienen una mancha blanca en las terciarias siendo de mayor tamaño en los machos. El pico es negro, alargado, fino y puntiagudo.

Su reclamo es un "pik" corto, metálico y lo repite incansablemente.

Distribución y hábitat

Cría por la mayor parte de Europa y del oeste de Asia. En invierno migra al oeste de África.

Son aves forestales, sobre todo de bosques de frondosas, también en parques con árboles maduros.

Distribución y hábitat

Comportamiento

Es un pájaro muy inquieto y activo. Cuando está posado, suele chasquear el ala hacia arriba, rápidamente y bastantes veces. Son insectívoros, cazando al vuelo buena parte de su alimentación.

www.naplesldm.com/pozzport.php

The modern sea-wall that shelters the port disguises history rather well. When the Roman empire fell, Pozzuoli, with the adjacent imperial glory of the port facilities of Baia, went into centuries of decline. As late as the 1880s, a travel writer in the New York Times could still say:

...The harbor of Pozzuoli is an interesting place to visit, if only to study the manner in which the ancients built their piers. There still remains the tremendous structure, or a very large portion of it, called by Seneca, Pilae, and by Suetonius, Moles Puteolanae. Of 25 buttresses, which supported 24 arches, 16 are left, three being under water. They are constructed of brick and pozzulana earth, and bear an inscription reporting that the pier was restored by Antonius Pius. A common, but very erroneous impression, owing probably to the fact of the pier now being called Ponte [bridge] di Caligula, is that it was connected with the ponton [sic] bridge which that emperor threw across the bay of Baiae in order that, clad in the armor of Alexander the Great, he might there celebrate his insane triumph over the Parthians.

Indeed, photos from that period show the pier/sea-wall of Pozzuoli to be low and jagged, essentially what is left of the old Roman structure (seen in the above image) after many centuries of neglect. (Sources differ as to how many arches the original Roman pier had.) After a century of talk about rebuilding the pier into a more modern structure, it wasn't until the early 1900s that this was done. Dvorak (sources, below) reports in 1904:

The largest and best-known Roman breakwater is that at Puteoli, commonly called the Bridge of Caligula. This great work consisted of fifteen tall piers of concrete, some of 52 feet square, others smaller, rising from 49 feet of water to some 16 feet above the surface. The tops of the piers were connected by arches, and the whole work was often referred to as the "opus pilarum," or "moles puteolanae." Unfortunately, but little of the old work is now to be seen, for the harbour is sheltered by a solid sea-wall, which has been constructed by filling up the spaces between the ancient piers. The work was originally proposed by Carlo Fontana, and, in spite of the adverse criticism of Fazio, will soon be finished.

The modernizing work was, indeed, finished and was, as noted, redone in the 1980s. Roman engineers built differently than modern ones. A modern seawall stops waves completely; the Romans, however, built separate piers (in this case, joined by arches) that were close enough to break the main force of the waves but still let sufficient water pass through. Without modern dredging equipment, this had the advantage of letting currents sweep through the harbor and keep the port from silting up. Perhaps the most interesting thing in the whole harbor was the small island off the end of the pier. It was covered with buildings and has disappeared completely; it is probably the one mentioned by the Greek historian Pausanias in the second century AD:

Off Diceearchia [the original Greek name for Pozzuoli, ed.], which belongs to the Etruscans, there is boiling water in the sea, and an island has been constructed artificially, that the water may be utilized for warm baths. The modern sea-wall of Pozzuoli (jutting out on the right in this photo) runs almost exactly east to west, pointing directly at Baia.

Much of the western part of the bay, off of Baia, has been studied and made available in the new museum in the Aragonese castle off of Baia; those waters are also now an "underwater archaeology park," but I don't know the extent to which such efforts have extended to Pausania's "artificial island." Also, there was apparently a second harbor at Puteoli. Ancient sources mention it and in the early 19th century, engineers planning to rebuild the harbor spoke of the existence of an extensive network of piers offshore below the old acropolis to the east of the main harbor.

According to Wikipedia:

Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.

The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.

A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.

The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.

In our backyard we have tangerine and grapefruit trees and this winter we are fortunate to have a bounty of fresh citrus to pick and eat whenever we please. These tangerines are just so sweet and delicious! I admit I've sat down and eaten 3 or 4 at a time!

I took this photo with a flash at twilight after a good rain.

INFORMATION ON THE TANGERINE:

The tangerine (Citrus × tangerina) is an orange- or red-coloured citrus fruit. It is a variety of the Mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata). Tangerines are smaller than most oranges, and the skin of some varieties will peel off more easily. The taste is often less sour, or tart, than that of an orange.

Good quality tangerines will be firm to slightly soft, heavy for their size, and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves, as well as orange in color. Peak tangerine season is short, lasting from November to January in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Honey tangerine, originally called a murcott, is very sweet, as its name suggests. Other popular kinds include the sunburst tangerines and Fairchild tangerines. One of the oldest and most popular varieties is the Dancy tangerine, but it is no longer widely grown. The Dancy was known as the zipper-skin tangerine, and also as the kid-glove orange, for its loose, pliable peel. Its peak season is December, so children would often receive one in their Christmas stockings. For this reason it is commonly known as known a 'Christmas Orange'.

Tangerines are most commonly peeled and eaten out of hand. The fresh fruit is also used in salads, desserts and main dishes. Fresh tangerine juice and frozen juice concentrate are commonly available in the United States. Tangerines are a good source of vitamin C, folate and beta-carotene. They also contain some potassium, magnesium and vitamins B1, B2 & B3.

Historically, the name tangerine comes from Tangier, Morocco, a port from which the first tangerines were shipped to Europe. The adjective tangerine, from Tangier or Tanger, was first recorded as an English word in 1710.

pedo guy

An abbreviation of the word torpedo, pedo is a term of endearment often used by business magnates, investors and engineers, for a fast and excellent swimmer or diver. Sometimes, divers in Thailand who rescue young soccer teams from caves believe it means pedophile, but that's not the case.

PERSON 1: “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”

PERSON 2: "Did you just call me a pedophile?"

PERSON 1: No, it's short for torpedo. You swim really fast."

PERSON 2: "Oh my bad. And thank you. You are a true gentleman."

PERSON 1: "And you, sir, are a true pedo."

Pedo guy

Common insult used in South Africa in 1970s and 1980s. It is synonymous with “creepy old man” and is used to insult a person’s appearance and demeanor. Usually used in a very aristocratic way. As of lately, however, has become rare in spoken English due to increased avareness of term “pedophilia” among younger generation and millennials.

Other popular examples of psychological disorders being used as an insult include words “idiot”, “downs” and others.

Pedo guy

(noun) - Traditional South African insult, circa 1930's, originally aimed at people too poor to own a motor vehicle, and so were forced to remain as pedestrians.

More modern usage is by middle-class westerners who are so entrenched in their usage of vehicles with internal combustion engines, that they shun or eschew the development of electric vehicles (see also icing). i.e. they would rather choose to walk, than to drive an electric vehicle, even if it gives the appearance that they could be too poor to own a motor vehicle.

e.g. "I'd rather be a pedo guy than to buy a Nissan Leaf!"

Toneel - Performance - The Asaro Mudmen

Een jong paar vindt een vruchtbaar stukje grond om te bewerken. De lokale mensen willen de 'landrovers' verjagen. In de nacht komen strijders uit de rivier geklauterd, hun lichaam volledig onder de modder. Ze zetten ook een moddermasker op. Al dansend komen ze muisstil rond het koppel geslopen. Die zijn plotseling verrast en denken dat dit boze geesten zijn. Vliegensvlug lopen ze weg... de dorpsclan heeft hun grond terug!

We see the story about a couple who had been stolen a peace of ground.

The Asarao Mudmen come from just outside the town of Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea.

Legend has it that the mudmen were defeated by an opposing tribe and forced to flee into the Asaro River. They waited until dusk before attempting to escape. The enemy saw them arise from the muddy banks covered in mud and thought they were spirits. Most tribes in Papua New Guinea are very scared of spirits, so the enemy fled in fear, and the Asaro Mudmen were victorious. The Mudmen then went into the town to see what had happened, not knowing the enemy were still there. The enemy were so terrified they ran back to their town and had a special ceremony to ward off the spirits.

Alright, it's a new year and I thought about restarting a 365 but then I went back and looked through all that I've already done and written about and I couldn't just abandon it for a new one. So instead of starting fresh, I'm giving it a second chance and picking up with the # that January 1st is supposed to be, even though I last left off at 86. I'll catch up when I have time. Also, a new stipulation is the shot has to be taken each day. Something pertinent about each day. Anyways, the point is....the holiday madness is over, the month of December is over, and now life can get leveled.

For me, December held frigid weather, work, good friends, heartbreak, apartment hunting, lease signing, going broke, and moving. It also held guilt for letting my photography... my one and only outlet... fall by the wayside. But no more. Thank god it was only a month, or else I would feel worse and it would be even harder to pick it back up. December was emotionally exhausting, which is saying a lot since the month before it was just as, if not more, emotionally exhausting.

But I've made some personal decisions. I am going to avoid further emotional exhaustion and focus on simplicity, inner peace, and loving myself. I will surround myself with creative people with good hearts and goals. I will be honest with myself and those I am close to. Most of all, I will forgive myself.

Easy enough right? And I will think positive thoughts before fall asleep.

I think I made my feet look sufficiently horror-movie gritty. Anyone care to fund a pedicure? I've never had one and I guess it's supposed to be nice.

Happy new year, Flickrs.

History: The prototype of the Skyraider was first flown on 18 March 1945. Designed as a robust, multi-role attack aircraft for the US Navy, the carrier-based Skyraider was able to carry a wide variety of weapons on its numerous wing hard points. The Skyraider first saw combat in the Korean War, where its long loiter time and heavy load-hauling capability gave it a distinct utility advantage over the jet aircraft of the time.

Various versions were developed over the years; the most numerous types being: AD-1 (Initial production version with 2500hp R-3350 engine); AD-2 (Improved AD-1 with wheel-well covers and increased fuel load, etc.); AD-3 (Redesigned canopy, improved propeller, etc.); AD-4 (2700hp R-3350 engine, further canopy improvements, etc.); AD-4W (3-seat Early Warning version); AD-5 (4-seat multi-role version. Many variants of the AD-5 were capable of carrying up to 12 passengers in the rear fuselage); AD-6 (Single-seat attack version).

During the 1960s, the AD-x designations were changed to A-1D through A-1J. The A-1 series was operated with enormous success during the Vietnam War, where it was used in the Ground Attack, Forward Air Control, and Search and Rescue roles. The AD-6 and AD-7 were used by the French Armee de l'Air in Algeria.

Nicknames: Able Dog; Sandy; Spad; Hobo; Firefly; Zorro; The Big Gun; Old Faithful; Old Miscellaneous; Fat Face (AD-5 version); Guppy (AD-5W version); Q-Bird (AD-1Q/AD-5Q versions); Flying Dumptruck (A-1E); Crazy Water Buffalo (South Vietnamese nickname).

Specifications (AD-7 / A-1J):

Engine: 2800hp Wright R-3350-26B radial piston engine

Weight: Empty 10,550 lbs., Max Takeoff 25,000 lbs.

Wing Span: 50ft. 9in.

1873 - Working in the mines came with big risk. There was a good chance of poisonous gasses or a collapse. After an accident remaining relatives often had no income at all. The miners had to leave there belongings and especially those of more value behind for relatives to claim in case of an accident.

Zeche H had a room where miners changed into their work clothes and put all there belongings in the steal baskets you see in the photo. A basket a person, clothes in the basket, watches and bracelets at curly stick-outs and rings and earrings at the top. He had to raise the basket before going underground. This so they knew who was underground.

More then a century later Zeche H closes it's doors. Most of the buildings are gone and yet to be torn down is this beautiful room with its thousands of baskets (up to 3382 or so).

Kazarap y Cheo. La pasamos bien esa tarde

Estoy de cumpleaños!. Ya tengo 18. No puedo decir algunas palabras porque estoy todo stresado con las postulaciones a la Universidad.

Kazarap and Cheo. Nice evening we had then.

I just want to say thanks to all my friends that said Happy Birthday today and all the flickr people that comment my photos ^^.

In the kindness of human creatures. Last friday I ordered a babushka brooch at www.maanisch.nl. I know her blog for like 5 years now, and I've been a fan of her creations eversince. She makes great stuff for cats at www.ploesiepoesie.nl (

hibernation right now) but also things for girly girls like me :) And I totally fell in love with the babushka's! So I sent her an email, that I wanted to buy one, and that Emiel works sometimes at her boyfriend's advertising agency, that he reconized her photo on her blog. She sent me an nice mail back, she saw my photos and she liked them, yay!

So yesterday she said she went to the postoffice to send the brooch. I was excited all day! And at 7 the parcel finally arived with a real package! I was like:WTF?! I only ordered 1 brooch! So I opened the package and inside were all kind of thingies me like!!!!!! Cute Cat buttons, magnets, postcards you call it!! I danced arround! WOW!!!! There was also a toy for Sterre and Koika, and they totally love it!

She wrote me a sweet card that "she wanted to support me because I make such beautiful photos" I started crying, because it warmed my heart. It made my day so light. Thanks woman!

Quoting the web site of WXRV-FM "The River":

Boston’s independent and solar-powered radio station is gearing up for a free lunch time concert in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day from noon-3pm. The concert will take place on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a new model of dynamic outdoor space that brings Bostonians together to enjoy everything that’s great about the city. The Greenway will be transformed into a fun outdoor atmosphere that includes free music, arts and crafts and other activities.

Combining a knack for infectious melodies with a quirky, bizarre sense of humor and a vaguely avant-garde aesthetic borrowed from the New York post-punk underground, They Might Be Giants became one of the most unlikely alternative success stories of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Musically, the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell borrowed from everywhere, but their freewheeling eclecticism was enhanced by their arcane, geeky sense of humor. They would reference everything from British Invasion to Tin Pan Alley, while making allusions to pulp fiction and President Polk. Through their string of indie releases and constant touring as a duo, They Might Be Giants built up a huge following on college campuses during the late ’80s, switching to a major label in the early ’90s…The 2000’s saw them re-emerge as one of America’s most beloved family bands, and saw their songwriting embraced by Dunkin’ Donuts, Malcom in the Middle, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Exposición LA VIDA OCULTA DEL AGUA; en la UNED de Barbastro

Hoy con nuestro agradecimiento a Bárbara Barrera por su precioso artículo sobre diatomeas en la revista Vidriooh!

Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA

Peranema cuneatum tiene una forma de navegar elegante y marcha ligero bajo la superficie del agua, con su cuerpo esbelto rematado en punta, extendiendo su recto flagelo del que apenas mueve su extremo final, como indiferente a todo lo que sucede a su alrededor.

En poco se parece su actitud a la de su hermano Peranema trichophorum tan común en las aguas contaminadas y que a cada trecho se detiene para arrugarse, ensancharse y transformarse por unos momentos, para seguir después navegando como si nada hubiese pasado.

Peranema cuneatum no parece deformarse en su travesía acuática y a medida que avanza va recogiendo diminutas algas, bacterias y otros pequeños protozoos que atrapa en pequeños remolinos a pequeños bocados con esa boca casi invisible situada en la base de su flagelo.

Peranema es un primo pálido de Euglena , no depende como ella de la luz del sol para vivir, sino de todo lo que captura y palpa con su larga mano de hilo al caminar. Su elegante camisa transparente está adornada con unas finísimas estrías imperceptibles, como las que Euglena también suele vestir, pero Peranema no está relleno del fresco verde de la clorofila viva ni muestra la mancha roja de rubí con la que ella sigue al sol.

Peranema ha preferido buscar otro modo de vida y limpia el agua de los restos que otros van dejando devolviendo poco a poco su pureza.

The above collaborative diptych resulted from seeing Tina Manthorpe's photograph ("Sandstone Swirl," on right, see www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/3909143298/ ) the same day that the elm tree in my front yard was cut down. It was killed by beetle invasion (Dutch Elm disease), see my post below: www.flickr.com/photos/walford/3914173910/

I was struck by how both stone and wood could have comparable ring patterns embedded in them, though those on the tree lack the incredible suggestiveness, and whirling motion of the sandstone captured so well by Tina Manthorpe.

When I proposed a collaboration, she immediately agreed, and her version is more professionally edged in black, at her request, see www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/3920376902/. We agreed that I would put it up in this olive tone, which I slightly prefer, to suggest the common source in nature of these rings in such different substances.

Efesto, figlio di Zeus ed Hera, era il dio del fuoco, della tecnologia, dei fabbri, degli artigiani, degli operai, degli scultori, dei metalli e della metallurgia.

Particolarmente adorato ad Atene e nella Magna Grecia, la sua fucina si pensava fosse collocata sotto il cono vulcanico dell'isola di Vulcano, o sotto l'Etna.

Aveva ben poco dell'aspetto divino dei suoi parenti Olimpi, dato che passava gran parte del suo tempo nella fumosa fucina da fabbro, aiutato dai giganti, tuttavia era sposato ad Afrodite, la più bella tra le belle.

Era zoppo a causa di una caduta dall'Olimpo, scagliato dall'alto dei cieli da Hera, scandalizzata nell'aver dato alla luce un bambino dall'aspetto non divino. Egli precipitò per giorni e giorni, precipitando poi nell'Oceano, dove venne allevato da Teti.

Le sue vendette erano tremende: per vendicarsi della madre la imprigionò per mesi a tradimento in un trono d'oro dopo avergliene fatto gentile dono. Una volta, stufo dei continui tradimenti della moglie, la imprigionò nel letto con il suo amante Ares e chiamò tutti gli dei a riderne.

E' tuttavia un dio molto richiesto dagli altri dei per la sua bravura nel fabbricare gioielli ed armi.

I lose my way

And it’s not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes

I’m forced to fake

A smile, a laugh

Every day of my life

My heart can’t possibly break

When it wasn’t even whole to start with.

Butterfly 2: Hatred. Anger is a fragile thing and often affects other people. Parents, especially. Some are abusive to their children, and that abuse comes in various forms. Physical, emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse are all real and are all painful in their own ways. Families have bricks, walls, barriers. Kids try to break them down, try to change things, try to make them better. Sometimes they cannot be broken. Sometimes things cannot be changed. There is a abusive side to everyone.

Maria Waldrast (means "Maria Rest-in-the-Forest" in English) is one of the highest Convents in Europe - 1641m (5383 Ft.) Altitude. It is located in Tirol, Austria, near Matrei am Brenner. The Foundation of the Convent is based upon a Story, that says, that in the Year 1407 two Herdsmen found an Effigy of the Virgin Mother in a Tree Trunk.

It is a very popular Place of Pilgrim here in Tirol - located very solitary in the Middle of the Mountains. There is a Spring with right-turning Spa-Water - right turning Water is very seldom and really amazing to drink. You can't compare it with any other Water in the World. It's a Healing Water too, and many People come up here to fill the Water and take it home - it is drinkable for a long Time. I did the same today and also made a Prayer for my Family and some Friends.

A very calmful and contemplative Place up there.
