Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
También en Biodiversidad virtual y hace unos meses en El País -en pdf- gracias a Elisabet Sans.
Collotheca sorprende por su larga corona extensible, lanza las redes de finos filamentos de seda y en vez de hacerlos rodar espera y lo hace protegido por una fina vaina casi invisible que viste su torso y su cola. Se trata de un rotífero que presenta una corona formada por varios lóbulos que pueden ir de 1 a 7 sobre los que se despliegan abanicos de finísimos filamentos. Estos filamentos envían hacia el interior del cono que forman, cualquier organismo que tropieza con ellos para pasar a su boca y ser así masticados y digeridos ▷ .
Pero cualquier roce de cualquier ser inesperado, cualquier sobresalto, hace que este tímido ser se repliegue y esconda su red de filamentos y su corona dentro del cuerpo, para volver a desplegarla cuando siente que el peligro ha pasado ▷ .
Las diferentes especies del género se distinguen por el número de lóbulos de la corona y las características del borde membranoso que los une.
Collotheca vive generalmente asentado sobre los tallos de plantas acuáticas sumergidas y cerca de la orilla despliega sus redes para capturar su alimento que casi siempre está constituido por algas.
La fotografia de hoy, tomada sobre unas muestras de agua en los humedales de Salburúa ( Vitoria ) ha sido realizada a 200 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.
Gracias a nuestros amigos de Brasil de AFNatura, en especial a Rosane Marques y a Emídio Bastos por su cariñosa acogida y difusión de la exposición LA VIDA OCULTA DEL AGUA ¡ Un gran abrazo !

Se asoman a su balcón desde su funda transparente que es una vaina que además de dar protección al cuerpo de estos ciliados también les da el nombre. Se trata de Vaginicola, ciliado alargado en forma de trompeta , que en su cabeza se abre en corona como una flor.
Los cilios de Vaginicola ruedan en la corona fabricando pequeños remolinos en los que quedan atrapadas pequeñas partículas y algunos organismos diminutos que después este ciliado selecciona para él o para devolverles la libertad en el agua.
A Vaginicola parece que no le gusta vivir solo, por eso, casi siempre se asoma a su balcón en compañía, quizá estos compañeros hablen del tiempo, de la vida, o de los lunares que adornan su interior. Estos pequeños lunares son también amigos y hacen con Vaginicola una simbiosis ejemplar y que con frecuencia se da también con otros protozoos, son así, cientos más dos.
Vaginicola cuida con mimo su colección de lunares verdes que son algas del género Chlorella y estas pequeñas algas verdes en muestra de agradecimiento, corresponden con Vaginicola regalándole las golosinas de los azúcares y proteínas que ellas fabrican, pero estas golosinas no son un capricho, se han vuelto ya imprescindibles y sellan esta relación de amistad.
Vaginicola recuerda mucho a Cothurnia y a Thuricola por su apariencia, pero Vaginicola vive dentro de una funda que se muestra como un vaso, abierto y sin protección, mientras que sus otros compañeros, más precavidos o más frioleros, cierran la entrada de la vaina que los protege con una puerta que se siempre hacia afuera, de este modo ellos pueden salir, pero nadie puede entrar.
Dos amigos, probablemente hermanos, se asoman al balcón y muestran alegres su cuerpo de lunares verdes. No son dos amigos en realidad, son cientos más dos en un incondicional vínculo de amistad y proceden de la balsa de Ajamil en La Rioja de donde procede la muestra que ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

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.

Al-Wahhab : The Giver of All who constantly bestows blessings of every kind.
YA RABBİ
Seni tarif etmektedir bütün güzel isimler
Sen güzel isimlerini aşikar etmezsen ruhum karanlıkta kalır
Esmaül Hüsna’na şahit yaz beni...
Ya Vehhab
Yokluğa sırf yok oldugu için varlık bahşedersin
Nankörlerin bile rızkını kesmez inkar edenlere bile nefes verirsin
Varlığın senin lütfundur senin ihsanındır
Aciz varlığıma lütfunu ihsanını daim eyle...
Vehhab : Karşılıksız veren, sonu gelmeyen bağışların sahibi. Kullarına hiçbir karşılık gözetmeksizin tekrar tekrar ve çok çok bağışlarda bulunan.
Cenab-ı Hak buyuruyor:
"Yoksa, güçlü ve üstün olan, karşılıksız bağışlayan Rabbinin hazineleri onların yanında mıdır" (Sad,9)
Büyük zatlar, bir kimse dua ettiği zaman 7 kere "Yâ Vehhâb" dese o kimsenin duasını Allah teala kabul eder, demişlerdir. Bir şey isteyen, düşman elinde bağlı kalan, rızkında darlık olan, ticaretinde ve kazancında çokluk ve kârlıllık olmayan veya seyrü sülûkünde her hangi bir fethi olmayan kimse üç gece veya yedi gece boyunca gece yarısı abdest alıp ve iki rekat namaz kılıp başını açarak ellerini havaya kaldırarak Yâ Vehhâb" dedikten sonra ihtiyacını Cenab-ı Hakk'a arzetse Allahü teala onun ihtiyacını karşılar, sıkıntısını giderir. (Miftahü'l Kulûb)
Cumanız mübarek olsun;
"Can't make my own decisions or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Oh oh oh ohhhh
You don't have to believe me,
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger,
I might have to bend it back
or break it break it off
whoa
next time you point a finger
I hope it's at the mirror.
If God's the game you're playing, then we must get more acquainted,
It must be so lonely... to be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion, but one I firmly believe in
You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you."
--"Playing God" by Paramore

This was taken on the way to a haunted house thingy 2hours away from where my friends and I live. It was so much fun. (Even if we did turn the wrong way and almost died...lol)
The Madison Range is a mountain range located in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Idaho. The range was named in honor of future President of the United States, then U.S. Secretary of State James Madison by Meriwether Lewis as the Lewis and Clark Expedition travelled through Montana in 1805. The range extends 80 miles from West Yellowstone, Montana to Bozeman, Montana and is flanked by the Madison River on the west and the Gallatin River to the east. The highest point in the range is Hilgard Peak at 11,316 ft, a remote peak that wasn't climbed until 1948. The Madison Range is the westernmost section of what is collectively referred to as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Most of the range lies within Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Gallatin National Forests. A small portion of the range has been further protected with the creation of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. The region has grizzly and black bears and at least one pack of wolves. Most other larger mammal species native to the region continue to exist in the range. Not far to the south of Hilgard Peak, lies Quake Lake, which was created after the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, caused a huge landslide which dammed the Madison River.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Range
Settlement of the Madison Valley followed on the heels of the Gold Rush to Alder Gulch in the mid-1860s. Homesteaders grazed their livestock in the lush meadows of the valley and surrounding mountains, raising beef and mutton to feed the miners.
Today, in addition to meat production, these ranches serve another important ecological role-maintaining pen space and a place for wildlife to prosper.
Thousands of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, and other smaller animals live, eat, and migrate through the valley. While public lands of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest provide protected habitat in the mountains surrounding the valley, ranch lands of the valley bottom provide essential food, security, and freedom of movement for many animals, particularly in winter.
One of the greatest threats to wildlife is the loss of this critical habitat to human encroachment. As ranches are subdivided, the open space and abundant food supply these area ranches provide are lost.
The locals hope you enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Madison Valley, and trust you will also appreciate the ecological relationship between ranches and wildlife habitat.

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.

"...on the floor of his room."
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.
www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 --- Turkey, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour ---- www.vianobilis.com/amarok-adventure-world-7e5 ---- Amarok Adventure World ---- Selge (griechisch Σέλγη) war eine antike Stadt in der kleinasiatischen Landschaft Pisidien beim heutigen Altınkayaköy (früher Zerk) (Türkei). 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

I took this shot of the Manhattan Skyline from Liberty Island, New York City, in October 2004 with my first digital camera, a Fuji MX. Wish I'd had my Nikon D80 back then...but of course it didn't exisit at the time :-)
INFORMATION ON MANHATTAN ISLAND:
Manhattan is an island borough of New York City, New York, USA, coterminous with New York County. With a 2006 population of 1,611,581[1] living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.47 km²), it is the most densely populated county in the United States at 66,940 residents per square mile (25,846/km²). It is also the second wealthiest county in the United States. The borough consists of Manhattan Island, Roosevelt Island, Randalls Island, almost 1/10th of Ellis Island, the above-water portion of Liberty Island, several much smaller islands, and a small section on the mainland of New York State adjacent to the Bronx.
Manhattan is a major commercial, financial, and cultural center of the United States, and to some extent, the world. Most major radio, television, and telecommunications companies in the United States are based here, as well as many news, magazine, book, and other media publishers. Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations. Manhattan has the largest central business district in the United States, is the site of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and is the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in the nation. It is indisputably the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, holding the seat of city government, and the largest fraction of employment, business, and recreational activities.
The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht Halve Maen (Half Moon). A 1610 map depicts the name Manahata twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language. The Encyclopedia of New York City offers other derivations, including from the Munsee dialect of Lenape: manahachtanienk ("place of general inebriation"), manahatouh ("place where timber is procured for bows and arrows"), or menatay ("island").
According to 2007 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, there were 1,620,867 people residing in Manhattan on July 1, 2007. As of the 2000 Census, the population density of New York County was 66,940.1/sq mi (25,849.9/km²), the highest population density of any county in the United States. If the 2007 census estimates are accurate, then the population density now exceeds 70,595 people per square mile. In 1910, at the height of European immigration to New York, Manhattan's population density reached a peak of 120,250.299/sq mi (46,428.9/km²). There were 798,144 housing units in 2000 at an average density of 34,756.7/sq mi (13,421.8/km²). Only 20.3% of Manhattan residents lived in owner-occupied housing, the second-lowest rate of all counties in the nation, behind The Bronx.

I am back from a wonderful trip to Charlotte, NC where I was able to meet up with a couple of fellow flickrites. I got to sit down to coffee with the beautiful Kim Langdon www.flickr.com/photos/langdonknits/ as well as have lunch with Ed www.flickr.com/photos/isayx3/ and his gorgeous wife Rosalie.
What amazing people really. I ended up not even taking hardly any pics in Charlotte which is rather odd for me.
This is one from Destin, Fl.

If I Were Ever To Paint A Splendid Smile, This Would Be It.
This is a edited (w/ paint effect) pic of a family friend from England. (the Punajabi side:) She has lovely smile, which I've told her a million times. The credit goes to her mother who gave her and her sister the beautiful genes. Lucky them:)
(Just wish she takes the news of my posting to the world wide web with a likewise smile.)
A quote above is a bit corny yet speaks the truth; don't know the author. Feels so appropriate for this picture.
Lately, I've been intrigued by the 'painted effect' and 'played with it'. This is a product of that play. I suppose when one can't paint this would be the next best option:)
**"I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-born treasures home; But the poor, unsightly, noisome things, Had left their beauty on the shore, With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar." -Ralph Waldo Emerson **

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.

The pool looked so wonderful that the second Nalu entered the pool deck she dove in. It's a common, almost daily occurrence so I just let her play awhile. It was my chance to introduce her to her new water toy, Mr. Flappy. She absolutely loves him. We may just have to use him when the new Southeast FL Dock Dogs club has its Grand Opening June 19th in Dania beach. Nalu is excited over the news of a club forming only an hour away! Before the nearest clubs were 2 1/2 & 4 hours away.
In this picture you can see something she loves to do. When I get her out I always go straight for her toy, put it away and take her to the dog tub outside for a quick bath to get the chlorine out. Well when she suspects I'm getting ready to kick her out she'll start playing on the steps. She pushes the toy down with her feet until she has it pinned on the second step, she then dunks her head under to retrieve it. She also likes to take the toy to the jet right by the steps and lets the jet take the toy under and past her. She quickly turn pushes off the wall and dunks under to get it. Another of her quarks is if I leave her by herself while I'm cleaning the kitchen or working by the sliding glass door leading out to the pool deck (so I can see her) she'll actually throws the toy in herself and launches into the pool to retrieve it. I don't think I've ever seen a dog who loves the pool more, she would live in there if I let her. She may be 7 but I think she needs a turn in the field, moms fault of course!

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!"

shout it out
i can't hold back no more
i let it out
all these feelings that were
trapped inside
i was frozen evertime
i looked in your eyes
clear my head
from all the cluttered things
i should've said
that wasn't me
no i can't live like that
I'm waking up and there is no
looking back
(chorus)
Every little tear
i was scared to cry
everyting i feared
but i kept inside
i don't wanna hold
it back one more day
oh wash it away
every tiny thought clouding
up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain
clear the sky
i start to breathe again
no-thing to hide
let you through to who
i am inside
every layer
'til you get underneath my skin
let you in, let you in
(chorus)
every little tear
i was scared to cry
everything i feard
but i kept inside
i dont wanna hold it back
one more day
oh was it away
every tiny thought
clouding up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain

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.
In My Craft or Sullen Art
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labor by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.
Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.
Dylan Thomas.

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.
Length: 38ft. 10in.
Height: 15ft. 8.25in.
Performance:
Maximum Speed at 18,000ft: 320mph
Cruising Speed at 6,000ft: 190mph
Ceiling: 25,500ft
Range: 900 miles

I actually did not take this shot. I was determined to teach my husband today how to shoot. He actually did really well, although there were a few shots where my eyes were somewhere near the mid part of the frame. But he caught on fairly quickly. There were also so many silly shots. You know the ones with attempting the jumping. I must admit those turned out so bad, yet hilarious.
So I edited this in PS with PW B/W action and we used available light from the sunset. I did manage to get a new flash on Friday, however, I tend to love the natural light. It will take some getting used to I am sure. Now on to buy more things to make that work. I had just a whirlwind of a weekend with many exciting opportunities on the horizon. I hope each of you had a great one as well.
Oh and I am on a new B/W kick so you know expect those to be coming.

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. Llamando, mandando mails y todo el asunto para ver si quedo en medicina en alguna universidad. Me llegaron algunas malas y otras buenas noticias. Ojalá quede en la U.
Quiero agradecer a todos mis amigos que me saludaron hoy y a todos los flickeros que comentan mis fotos.

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

Belford's is situated in a beautiful old brick building in the heart of Savannah's National Landmark Historic District. The building is listed in Historic Savannah Foundation's architectural inventory as a notable example of its style and is praised in architectural surveys for its arched windows, exposed brick walls and doorways with semicircular, segmental arched toplights.
The design is attributed to Hyman W. Witcover, a practicing architect in Savannah from 1897 to 1923, who also designed Savannah's City Hall, the Main Library Building on Bull Street and many of the fine residences located in the Chatham Crescent section of Savannah's Ardsley Park. Witcover, a member of the American Institute of Architects, was the first president of the Savannah Society of Architects.
The structure was completed in 1902 for Savannah's Hebrew Congregation. In 1913, the Congregation sold the building to W.T. Belford for $23,000. In the hands of the Belford family, whose early 1900's portrait hangs on the West wall of our main dining room, the building became an important wholesale food company in Savannah. The Belford signs painted on the west side of the building and under the front awning remain to this day, faded by years of weather.
The Belford's Wholesale Food company was an active and integral part of The City Market, the bustling social and commercial heart of early Savannah. The actual market, a splendid edifice with soaring brick arches and open-air stalls for the sale of produce, fish, meat and baked goods, was located in the area now occupied by the City Market Parking Garage on Ellis Square. The demolition of that market in the late 1950's was a tragedy in the eyes of local preservationists and was the catalyst that began the preservation and restoration movement in Savannah. Ironically, the demolition of the original City Market probably saved four blocks of surrounding feed, seed, grain and produce warehouses - collectively now known as City Market - including the Belford building, now known as Belford's Savannah.
Belford's has hosted a number of notable figures, including well-known Hollywood personalities Clint Eastwood, Debra Winger, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Robert Altman and Garrison Keilor of Lake Woebegone fame who have delighted in the atmosphere of bygone days and incomparable cuisine. Wonderful wines accompany Belford's fine food in surroundings that whisper their history on both sides of the arched windows.
Look around you. The walls carry framed photographs of the area as it appeared during the hey-day of Belford's Wholesale Foods, many of which were provided by the Belford family. There is no experience like it in Savannah ... perhaps, anywhere.

This picture I took almost a year ago. I have taken many "triplets" that evening for HDRs (see a previous one here: www.flickr.com/photos/angela_a_stanton/4250653608/in/set-... taken the same day but a bit later. The previous HDR (via the link) was developed with a painstaking process in Photomatix; the present one in 5 minutes using Nik's HDR Efex Pro. After HDR Efex Pro I used Nik's "Indian Summer" filter and then a "bi-color filter" with a bit of blue in the top and yellow in the bottom. I also used Nik's Define to reduce noise.
I think the Nik version is significantly cleaner than Photomatix version. What do you think?
Update on mom: she is recovering from surgery with a broken ankle in two places. Surgery made her a "bionic woman" for those of you old enough to recall that TV show. =)
I don;t have much time these days to do anything but take care of her so if I cannot yet visit your pictures, I apologize! I will get to see and comment eventually on all my friends' and contacts' pictures!

26e numéro de la série "Dans le secret de..."
Wladimir et Isabelle travaillent tous deux aux Archives nationales. La venue d'un deuxième enfant les conduit à s'interroger sur les possibilités de trouver un logement légèrement plus grand.
Pour cela, il faudra explorer toutes les pistes...
Première étape, les agences immobilières. Du centre de Paris aux arrondissements périphériques, à quelle superficie prétendre lorsqu'on jouit d'un peu plus de 3000 euros de revenu mensuel ? Visites, rencontres, discussions, négociations... Brice, responsable immobilier dans le 18e arrondissement de Paris "joue la vérité des prix". Alors que d'autres laissent miroiter comme possible ce qui se révèle illusoire aux yeux de notre jeune couple, celui-ci ne cache pas qu'aujourd'hui Paris est devenue, comme la plupart des grandes villes de France, une cité interdite pour les travailleurs qui n'ont pour vivre que le produit de leur travail, souvent réduit à un salaire qui n'a pas suivi le coût de la vie, notamment de la spéculation qui a frappé l'immobilier...
Et le logement social ? Dans la file d'attente d'une mairie d'arrondissement à Paris, confrontation entre Wladimir et quelques demandeurs de logement dont la fiche technique laisse perplexe. Rencontre avec un public concerné, "jeunes ou vieux, français ou étrangers, travailleurs ou retraités". Révélations de la responsable du logement. Les ventes à la découpe allongent les listes. Des dizaines de milliers de familles confrontées à ce phénomène à Paris, comme dans les autres grandes villes, se tournent aussi vers des services sociaux surchargés.
Et les petites annonces ? Que reste-t-il pour ces millions qui, contrairement à notre couple, n'ont pas un tel salaire ou pas de garantie de l'emploi ? Voyage des tentes de "médecins du monde" aux campings qui en périphérie sont parfois le lieu de résurgence des bidonvilles d'antan, peuplés par des salariés qui n'ont d'autre choix pour vivre.
Du maire de la Ferté Alais à Wlad et Isabelle, en passant par Brice, le responsable immobilier ; Greg, le manager d'agence ou Stéphane, le négociateur de logements, l'histoire de Wlad et Isabelle nous fait découvrir des situations plus surprenantes les unes que les autres. Un constat stupéfiant et affolant !

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.

Descripción de una mujer
Una mujer exquisita no es aquella que más hombres tiene a sus pies,
sino aquella que tiene uno solo que la hace realmente feliz.
Una mujer hermosa no es la más joven, ni la más flaca, ni la que tiene el cutis más terso o el cabello más llamativo, es aquella que con tan
solo una sonrisa y un buen consejo puede alegrarte la vida.
Una mujer valiosa no es aquella que tiene más títulos, ni más cargos
académicos es aquella que sacrifica su sueño por hacer felices a los
demás.
Una mujer exquisita no es la más ardiente, sino la que vibra al hacer
el amor solamente con el hombre que ama.
Una mujer interesante no es aquella que se siente halagada por ser
admirada por su belleza y elegancia, es aquella mujer firme de
carácter que puede decir NO.
Y un hombre, un hombre exquisito es aquel que valora una mujer así.

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.
Rolls-Royce Limited was founded in 1906 by Henry Royce and C.S. Rolls, and produced its first aircraft engine in 1914.
Around half the aircraft engines used by the Allies in World War I were made by Rolls-Royce. By the late 1920s, aero engines made up most of Rolls-Royce's business. Henry Royce's last design was the Merlin aero engine, which came out in 1935 although he had died in 1933. This was a development subsequent to the R engine, which had powered a record-breaking Supermarine S6.B seaplane to almost 400mph in the 1931 Schneider Trophy. The legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin is revered as a British Icon [3]. The Merlin powered many World War II aircraft: the British Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, De Havilland Mosquito (twin-engined), Avro Lancaster (4-engine); it also transformed the American P-51 Mustang into one of the best fighters of its time, its Merlin engine built by Packard under licence. The early Merlins were used by the British Royal Air Force in the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire that won the Battle of Britain. The "Merlin engine" is often considered to be one of the main factors in winning the war for the Allies. [4] .Over 160,000 Merlin engines were produced.
In the post-World War II period Rolls-Royce made significant advances in gas turbine engine design and manufacture. The Dart and Tyne turboprop engines were particularly important, enabling airlines to cut journey times within several continents, whilst jet airliners were introduced on longer services. The Dart engine was used in Argosy, Avro 748 and its military variant the Andover, Friendship, Herald and Viscount aircraft, whilst the more powerful Tyne powered the Atlantic, Transall and the Vanguard. Many of these turboprops are still in service.
Rolls-Royce engines had traditionally borne numeric designations during development and then were assigned the name of a British river on delivery. The use of river names was introduced with the earliest Rolls jet engines to reflect their nature: a steady flow of power rather than the pulses of a piston engine. RB stands for "Rolls Barnoldswick", the latter a major ex-Rover facility bought by Rolls-Royce when it traded production of engines (the Rolls-Royce Meteor) for production of the first Whittle engines.
Amongst the jet engines of this period was the RB163 Spey which powers the Trident, BAC 1-11, Grumman Gulfstream II and Fokker F28. Military versions of the Spey powered the Buccaneer S2 for the RAF, the Phantom F4K and F4M, and the Nimrod. The Spey was licence built by Allison Engine Company as the TF41 for the A-7 Corsair II. Other types of military engines produced in the second half of the 20th Century include the Avon and Viper; these engines powered many of the British Aircraft of this period.
Also of this period was the Conway, a low (by today's standards) bypass ratio turbofan which was used on some Boeing 707s and Douglas DC-8s, and all Vickers VC10s as well as on the MkII variant of the Handley Page Victor bomber for the RAF.
During the late 1950s and '60s there was a significant rationalisation of the British aero-engine manufacturers, culminating in the merger of Rolls-Royce and Bristol Siddeley in 1966. Bristol Siddeley, which had itself resulted from the merger of Armstrong Siddeley and Bristol in 1959, and with its principal factory at Filton, near Bristol, had a strong base in military engines, including the Olympus, which was chosen for Concorde.
