Taking a break from the coastal brown bears, I reflected back on the many bald eagle sightings that we were afforded on this trip. This is a shot of one of the eagles that we woke up to one morning right outside of our campground on Homer Spit, affectionately referred to as the "spit" by locals.

 

Homer is a wonderful artist community on the Kenai Peninsula. I have previously posted shots from there, including the "spit" itself and views across Kachemak Bay. It is by far one of the most beautiful towns in Alaska and a personal favorite of mine. It was the home of the infamous "Eagly Lady" and the site of most of the magnificent bald eagles shots in North America.

 

After our Katmai NP adventure, we camped out on Homer Spit. Upon waking up, it was such a gorgeous day so I wanted to take a walk on the shore (aka our backyard), so off I went armed with nothing but my sunglasses. I quickly had to retreat for my ammunition - my Nikon D300 and a nice long lens to shoot with. Why? Because there sat a pair of bald eagles basking in the sunlight.

 

This one was perched up on this rock, just looking off in the distance, so beautiful. I began to approach it more closely (from an angle, not direct). Others saw what I was shooting and began to approach them head on. I started shooting immediately, figuring that they would vacate the area quickly, but to my surprise, that wasn't the case. Respectfully I began to get closer myself. Both eagles never altered their behavior. When I got as close as I wanted to, in other words to where I could still get the entire eagle in, I sat down in the sand and shot away.

 

The bald eagle is the eagle unique to North America and is our national bird. It thrives in Alaska, where it is estimated that over 1/2 of all bald eagles live.

 

We do get to see numerous bald eagles in Florida, but not usually from this close of a range.

 

What a wonderful treat to see and spend time with - in my "backyard", even if it's my backyard for just a few days.

 

Thanks so much for your views and comments to my photostream. Both are appreciated! There will be more bear shots coming, but not for the next few days.

"Shorts Creek begins its journey west of Terrace Mountain. It winds through the hills, bubbles under Westside Road and flows calmly under the bridge at the park entrance. Between these two roads, it makes a wildly exuberant dash down to the delta, leaping out into space at three separate points. The first cataract is fairly sedate, the second is more enthusiastic and the third, closest to the delta, is spectacular.

 

BC Parks has made it easy for waterfall-watchers. A sturdy staircase leads up to the largest cascade, then the steps parallel the gorge up to the middle falls. You can safely enjoy watching tumbling water in one direction and beautiful Okanagan Lake in another. (There are lots of landings along the 400-step climb, so you can catch your breath as you appreciate the scenery.)

 

These falls were Dun-Water’s greatest ally when he was moulding the isolated, undeveloped delta into an estate. He captured the creek’s power in a system of wood stave, wire wrapped pipes so ingenious that European engineers, said was “absolutely impossible” even when they were looking at it. The harnessed water allowed the Laird to have spray irrigation for orchards and gardens plus running water in houses and barns while neighbors relied on pails and pumps. He also used this “hydro” power to grind grain and run a respectably sized sawmill. By tying a Pelton wheel into the system he generated electricity. He even had his own telephone network linking the main buildings."

The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engined medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. It was used by many Allied air forces, in every theater of World War II, as well as many other air forces after the war ended, and saw service across four decades.

 

The B-25 was named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. By the end of its production, nearly 10,000 B-25s in numerous models had been built. These included a few limited variations, such as the United States Navy's and Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber and the United States Army Air Forces' F-10 photo reconnaissance aircraft.

 

The B-25 first gained fame as the bomber used in the 18 April 1942 Doolittle Raid, in which 16 B-25Bs led by the legendary Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle attacked mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The mission gave a much-needed lift in spirits to the Americans, and alarmed the Japanese who had believed their home islands were inviolable by enemy troops. While the amount of actual damage done was relatively minor, it forced the Japanese to divert troops for the home defense for the remainder of the war. The raiders took off from the carrier USS Hornet and successfully bombed Tokyo and four other Japanese cities without loss. However, 15 subsequently crash-landed en route to recovery fields in Eastern China. These losses were the result of the task force being spotted by Japanese fishing vessels forcing the bombers to take off 170 mi (270 km) early, fuel exhaustion, stormy nighttime conditions with zero visibility, and lack of electronic homing aids at the recovery bases. Only one landed intact; it came down in the Soviet Union, where its five-man crew was interned and the aircraft confiscated. Of the 80 aircrew, 69 survived their historic mission and eventually made it back to American lines.

Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.

 

In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.

 

This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.

 

The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.

This alternate view of the old gas stations posted yesterday was prompted by a comment inquiring about the pumps; this view clearly shows they are missing. It also shows how close the station is to US 60, which passes in front of it; Virginia route 24 is just beyond the station. I passed over this view yesterday because it included a car that some thoughtless tourist parked to the left of the station while he and his wife took photos -- but I found I could crop out enough to get rid of the car. From here, we followed route 24 to Appomattox, site of the next several photos.

ENGLISH

The Spanish Civil War was a major conflict in Spain that started after an attempted coup d'état committed by parts of the army against the government of the Second Spanish Republic. The Civil War devastated Spain from July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939, ending with the victory of the rebels and the founding of a dictatorship led by the Nationalist General Francisco Franco. The supporters of the Republic, or Republicans (republicanos), gained the support of the Soviet Union and Mexico, while the followers of the First Rebellion, nacionales (literally, "nationals" but rendered in English-language literature as "nationalists"), received the support of the major European Axis powers, namely Italy, Germany, and neighbouring Portugal.

 

The war increased tensions in the lead-up to the Second World War and became in some cases a world war by proxy, with Germany in particular using the war as a rehearsal for many of the blitzkrieg tactics it later used in the war in Europe. The advent of the mass media allowed an unprecedented level of attention (Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell and Robert Capa all covered it) and so the war became notable for the passion and political division it inspired, and for atrocities committed on both sides of the conflict.

CASTELLANO

Se conoce comúnmente como Guerra Civil Española al conflicto bélico que estalló tras un fallido golpe de estado de un sector del ejército contra el Gobierno legal y democrático de la Segunda República Española y que asoló el país entre el 17 de julio de 1936 y el 1 de abril de 1939, concluyendo con la victoria de los rebeldes y la instauración de un régimen dictatorial de carácter fascista, a la cabeza del cual se situó el general Francisco Franco.

 

La Guerra Civil Española ha sido considerada en muchas ocasiones como el preámbulo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, puesto que sirvió de campo de pruebas para las potencias del Eje y la Unión Soviética, además de que supuso un desenlace, principalmente a raíz de la llamada Revolución social española de 1936, entre las principales ideologías políticas de carácter revolucionario y reaccionario (o contrarrevolucionario) que entonces se disputaban en Europa y que entrarían en conflicto poco después: el fascismo, el carlismo, el constitucionalismo de tradición liberal burguesa y el Socialismo de Estado del PCE y la Komintern (liderada por el régimen de Stalin en la URSS), y los diversos movimientos revolucionarios: socialistas, comunistas, comunistas libertarios, anarcosindicalistas o anarquistas, y poumistas. Los partidos republicanos defendieron el funcionamiento democrático parlamentario del Estado por medio de la Constitución vigente, la Constitución de la República Española de 1931. Los anarquistas de la CNT (y muchos comunistas del POUM) defendían la implantación de un modelo libertario, aunque tuvieron que renunciar a todo su esquema teórico al aceptar la participación en el gobierno a finales de 1936. Los nacionalistas defendieron su autonomía. La mayoría de revolucionarios buscaban bien implantar la dictadura del proletariado, o bien eliminar la coerción de cualquier estructura jerárquica, fundamentalmente a través de una economía de carácter comunista y autónomo, y una organización política basada en órganos de base y comités, sintetizado todo ello en la consigna del comunismo libertario. Muchos militares sublevados y los falangistas defendieron, en palabras del propio Franco, la implantación de un Estado totalitario. Los monárquicos pretendían la vuelta de Alfonso XIII. Los carlistas la implantación de la dinastía carlista, etc. En ambos bandos hubo intereses encontrados.

 

De hecho, estas divisiones ideológicas quedaron claramente marcadas al estallar la Guerra Civil: los regímenes fascistas europeos (Alemania e Italia), Portugal e Irlanda apoyaron desde el principio a los militares sublevados.

 

El Gobierno republicano recibió el apoyo de la URSS, único país comunista de Europa, quien en un primer momento movilizó las Brigadas Internacionales y posteriormente suministró equipo bélico a la República. También recibió ayuda de México, donde hacía poco había triunfado la revolución.

************************

 

Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (26 August 1740 – 26 June 1810) and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (6 January 1745 – 2 August 1799) were the inventors of the montgolfière-style hot air balloon, globe aérostatique. The brothers succeeded in launching the first manned ascent, carrying Étienne into the sky. Later, in December 1783, in recognition of their achievement, their father Pierre was elevated to the nobility and the hereditary appellation of de Montgolfier by King Louis XVI of France.

Cornucopia di Gamberi alla vaniglia malgascia con crema piccante di zucchine

 

Ingredienti per due persone:

 

200 gr di code di gamberi

1 cm di baccello di vaniglia

olio extravergine del Garda

2 fogli di pasta fresca velo Giovanni Rana

olio per friggere

2 zucchine piccole

1 cipollotto

peperoncino

zenzero

pesteda

fiori d'acacia per decorare

 

Tagliare a metà il cm di bacello di vaniglia, raschiare i semi, metterli in una ciotola e mescolarli ad due cucchiai di delicato olio d'oliva del Garda, salare e pepare.

Sgusciare i gamberi, togliere il budellino dell'intestino e metterli a marinare nell'olio aromatizzato per un'oretta.

 

Mondare e lavare le zucchine e il cipollotto, tagliarli a rondelle, metterli in un recipiente adatto al microonde, cospargere di zenzero tritato o in polvere, peroncino, un pizzico di pesteda e sale.

Mi sembra che con il piccante ci siamo!

Mettere il recipiente coperto in microonde e far cuocere alla massima potenza per 4/5 minuti.

Con un frullatore ad immersione ridurre il tutto a salsa omogenea.

 

Dividere a metà i fogli di pasta fresca, avvolgerli attorno a dei coni d'acciaio e friggerli in olio caldo stando attenti che non si chiuda l'imboccatura della cornucopia, altrimenti non togliete più il cono d'acciaio

Sgocciolarli su carta da cucina e salarli.

 

Da ultimo rosolare in una nocciola di burro con un paio di rametti teneri di timo i gamberi togliendoli dalla marinata.

Mi sono dimenticata il Calvados ma eran buoni anche così.

Disporre tutto artisticamente su un piatto e servire.

Wasted and wounded, it aint what the moon did, Ive got what I paid for now

See you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you

To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

Im an innocent victim of a blinded alley

And Im tired of all these soldiers here

No one speaks english, and everythings broken, and my stacys are soaking wet

To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cabs parking

A lot they can do for me

I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,

And I'm down on my knees tonight

Old bushmills I staggered, you'd bury the dagger

In your silhouette window light go

To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

Now I lost my saint christopher now that I've kissed her

And the one-armed bandit knows

And the maverick chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,

And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go

Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say

That the streets aren't for dreaming now

And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,

They want a piece of the action anyhow

Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,

And the old men in wheelchairs know

And mathilda is the defendant, she has killed about a hundred,

And she follows wherever you may go

Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

And its a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,

And a wound that will never heal

No prima donna, the perfume is on an

Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers

And goodnight to mathilda, too

Took this in the yard of the house where one of my (former?) best friends use to live. Right across from me. We use to play here so much, jumping over the fence even though we could just open it, running from her dog, swinging on the swing set in the backyard when we were much too old. I can't explain how it felt to walk over there without two others who had always accompanied me before. How it felt to the house I'd been in so many times look so abandoned and wary yet timeless enough that i could picture it how it use to look. I try not to dwell on it much because lets face it, it hurts, but I'll just come right out and say it because this is an outlet, a diary, and I miss one of the best friends I ever had. I miss her a lot. And how things used to be.

 

Nostalgia + me = rant. Sorry.

 

On a different note. Everyone left today, including my aunts who get to go back home to where I wish I was. I miss them already. And connecticut. And the city. Ah, well.

Clouds moved in on Wednesday afternoon, making views of Crater Lake sparing, at best. I was a bit disappointed, as I really wanted to get another chance at a sunset shot from the north side of the lake. As I was driving back to camp, though, I came across this. With everyone else up on the rim looking at the lake, I got to enjoy this scene for 30 minutes or longer with not one other person around.

La avefría europea (Vanellus vanellus) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Charadriidae. Es un ave muy fácil de ver en España de octubre a marzo, durante los meses más fríos, de donde deriva su nombre común.

Características

Es de colores vivos: vientre blanco, pecho negro y parte superior de las alas de color verdiazul. Además tiene un característico penacho en lo alto de la cabeza. Al volar se distingue por su batir de alas lento, semejante al de una mariposa. Visto desde abajo cuando vuela se distinguen dos franjas de color blanco y negro. Mide de 28 a 31 cm. de pico a cola.

Comportamiento

Gregaria, suele criar en grupos, en tierras de labranza y campos extensos. Conocida en algunos lugares de Castilla y León como francesina. También se la conoce como "pibi" por el característico sonido que emite.

We are visiting a spirit house or a tambaran in the small village Yessan.

 

The Tambaran Culture

 

The male-dominated tambaran or tambaran culture uses the haus tambaran as a meeting-house and site for rituals and initiations. It is also used in worship for the yam cult, the yam being the staple food for the Sepik people. The women serve primarily as preparers of feasts, outsiders, and spectators. The giant spirit Nggwal is personified as noises that can be heard coming from the haus tambaran. Nggwal is the primary ancestor deity, though other cultural heroes are also often depicted in cultural and sacred arts. Ngwalndu are large, flat painted faces that line the inside of the structure. Though they are said to be representations of ancestral spirits, they can also be seen as stylized women's bodies. However, it is important to note that painting is a sacred activity for the Sepik people, and the paintings of the Sepik people are taken very seriously.

In Yessan bezoeken we een geestenhuis of een tambaran. Daar verblijven overdag alleen mannen. Daar worden ook veel besprekingen gehouden. De tambarans zijn helemaal gesculpteerd en geverfd. Ze zijn een eerbetoon aan de voorouders.

Are we a pair?

Me here at last on the ground,

You in mid-air.

Send in the clowns.

 

Isn't it bliss?

Don't you approve?

One who keeps tearing around,

One who can't move.

Where are the clowns?

Send in the clowns.

 

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,

Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,

Making my entrance again with my usual flair,

Sure of my lines,

No one is there.

 

Don't you love farce?

My fault I fear.

I thought that you'd want what I want.

Sorry, my dear.

But where are the clowns?

Quick, send in the clowns.

Don't bother, they're here.

 

Isn't it rich?

Isn't it queer,

Losing my timing this late

In my career?

And where are the clowns?

There ought to be clowns.

Well, maybe next year.

     

QUE ENTRIN ELS CLOWNS

(Send in the clowns/A little night music)

 

Música i lletra: Stephen Sondheim

   

Oi que és bonic! Oi que fa goig,

quan finalment he aterrat, tu alces el vol...

Que entrin els clowns.

 

Que és divertit, és com un joc

tu que no saps on parar, jo que no em moc.

Però on són els clowns? Feu que entrin els clowns.

 

Ara que vinc per tornar amb tu

ara que veia que l'home que vull,...eres tu,

que faig entrada altra cop amb el meu bon estil,

segura de mi, no em queda res.

 

Quin desengany, qui hauria dit

que el senties per mi ara ho sento per tu.

Ara ho entenc, quan ja te n'has anat.

Feu que entrin els clowns.

 

Oi, que és bonic, oi que fa estrany

perdre't a la meva edat. No et sembla trist?

Però, on són els clowns, feu que entrin els clowns...

be,potser l´any vinent...

This is a detail (re-arranged by me) of the original by Chicago artist, John Bakker, in a solo exhibition of his recent work (in the Hansen Gallery, Wheaton College, Illinois, Feb-March 2010), that invites audience engagement, and, if desired, re-arrangement, and thus reinterpretation.

 

Bakker, discovering that he is only the first interpreter of his own work, has thus taken a further step than is normative, by intentionally inviting his audience to engage with, and, if desired, re-arrange, and thus reinterpret his work.

Help! What does one do with excess candy canes?

 

Since I was tagged by kirs, here's some random facts about me.

 

1. I check flickr as much as I check twitter and email. Which is like majority of the day!

2. Before getting a DSLR, I had ~50 GB of pics! I have a ton of film too! o_O

3. See kirs' number 6. Love taking pics, but not of me! Unless in a group or in a photo shoot like this one from tenchiboyx's photo stream.

4. See kirs' number 9. :P I too, am obsessed with puzzles, i.e. Rubik's Cubes. See this cube for instance.

5. I get bored easily. Like, really easily. I can be the most busiest person in the world, yet still be bored at the same time. It's analogous to being lonely in a group of 100's of people.

6. I volunteer my time as an event planner at several venues (trade show/convention/festival). Director for 2 of them, Manager for 1, and a point of contact for a city festival.

7. On top of event planning, I intend on going to Los Angeles and Las Vegas several times, Chicago, Hong Kong, Macau, and several other places all in 2010.

8. I honestly have no idea how I'll afford number 7, along with photography. :P

9. I wish to make more friends in Europe/Asia so I have people to talk to when I'm up :)

10. I still have candy canes to give out. :(

 

Hmmm... who to tag, who to tag....

A budding lotus flower spotted at the Confucius temple in Nanjing, China.

 

The flowers, seeds, young leaves, and rhizomes are all edible. In Asia, the petals are sometimes used for garnish, while the large leaves are used as a wrap for food. The rhizome, is a common soup or stir-fry ingredient and is the part most commonly consumed. Petals, leaves, and rhizome can also all be eaten raw, but without being cooked, there is a risk of parasites transmission that is why it is recommended to cook them first before being consumed.

 

Prophet Muhammad said, "He who is presented with a flower should not reject it, for it is light to carry and pleasant in odour"

Né à Zurich en 1910, mort à Paris en 1999, Rolf Liebermann fut l’une des personnalités musicales majeures du XXe siècle. Compositeur, chef d’orchestre, metteur en scène, il dirigea successivement les Opéras de Hambourg (1959-1972) et de Paris (1973-1980). Au Palais Garnier, son nom est attaché, entre autres, aux Noces de Figaro dans la mise en scène de Giorgio Strehler (production reprise cette saison) ou à la création mondiale de la version en trois actes de Lulu dirigée par Pierre Boulez.

 

A l’occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, le Staatsoper de Hambourg s’associe à la Bibliothèque-Musée de l’Opéra et à l’Opéra de Paris pour rendre hommage à cette personnalité d’exception.

Historical plaque near the convergence of Bay Street and Davenport Road, just south of Jesse Ketchum Public School. Toronto, Canada. Summer evening, 2022. Pentax K1 II.

 

A biography of Jesse Ketchum from: www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=4519

 

KETCHUM, JESSE, tanner, politician, and philanthropist; b. 31 March 1782 at Spencertown, Columbia County, N.Y., fifth son of Jesse Ketchum and Mollie Robbins; m. first Ann Love (d. 1829), by whom he had three sons and three daughters, and secondly Mary Ann Rubergall, by whom he had three children; d. 7 Sept. 1867 at Buffalo, N.Y.

 

Following the death of his mother when he was six years old, Jesse Ketchum was taken into the home of a tanner in Spencertown where he probably learned the tanning trade. Unhappy in his foster home because his efforts to attend school were frustrated, Ketchum ran away at the age of 17 to join his brother, Seneca*, who had come to Upper Canada in 1796 and was farming on Yonge St north of York (Toronto).

 

On the outbreak of the War of 1812 some recent arrivals from the United States left Upper Canada rather than serve in the militia or swear allegiance to the crown. One such individual, John Van Zandt, an American tanner at York, was obliged to dispose of his property at once, and no doubt at a sacrifice. Ketchum was the purchaser. Like other merchants, he profited greatly from the wartime demand for supplies for the troops. A shrewd businessman, Ketchum invested his profits in town property in York, and also bought and sold farms in the county of York.

 

At the beginning of the war Ketchum joined the 3rd Regiment of York militia, and was among those paroled after the capitulation of York to the Americans in 1813. Nevertheless, his loyalty came under suspicion during the brief American occupation, and he was one of those whom Attorney General John Beverley Robinson was subsequently directed to have arrested and tried if, upon inquiry, that action seemed justified. No arrest occurred, but the episode no doubt had a lasting effect upon Ketchum.

 

Ketchum was a public spirited and generous man. He subscribed to the rebuilding of the Don bridges after the war; he became a member of the Society for the Relief of Strangers in Distress (renamed the Society for the Relief of the Sick and Destitute in 1828); and he was on the board of health. After the passage in 1816 of the Common Schools Act, which provided legislative support for administrative costs but not for the erection of school buildings, Ketchum subscribed to the building fund of the first common school in York. It was completed in 1818, and he was elected by the townspeople to its board of trustees. In 1832 he provided at his own expense for an infant school for children under seven.

 

Ketchum first became opposed to the Family Compact and sympathetic to the radical party in 1820 as a result of John Strachan’s involvement with the common school of York; Strachan persuaded Lieutenant Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland* to withhold funds for the school, and, when the elected trustees resigned, was successful in replacing their choice of teacher, Thomas Appleton, with his own Anglican nominee, Joseph Spragg*. A second factor was the clergy reserves question. Although a Methodist himself, Ketchum was no narrow sectarian. He attended St James’ Anglican Church when it was the only church in York, and, with gifts of land and money, he helped to establish a Methodist chapel in 1818, as well as a secessionist Presbyterian church (later Knox Presbyterian Church) in 1820. He taught Sunday school in the Methodist church and took a keen interest in Sunday schools of all denominations. In 1823 he founded the York Sunday School Union to establish libraries for children attending these institutions. This broad-minded man was chosen chairman of a public meeting called in December 1827 to protest against Strachan’s famous “Ecclesiastical Chart” and his efforts to secure the clergy reserves wholly for the Church of England. Ketchum’s name headed the list of those from the Home District who, in 1828, petitioned for a liberalization of the charter of King’s College. In 1831 another petition was drawn up by Ketchum and Egerton Ryerson* and signed by “Friends of Religious Liberty,” asking the imperial parliament to place all denominations in the province on a footing of equality and to appropriate the clergy reserves to general education and public works.

 

By 1828 Ketchum had become well known as an opponent of the Family Compact. In that year the county of York elected him and William Lyon Mackenzie to the assembly. Ketchum held his seat until 1834, when he declined to run again, disliking the hurly-burly of politics. During these years he had so much influence with Reformers, supported them so fully, and worked so closely with Mackenzie for constitutional and other reforms that his opponents called him “King Jesse” and Mackenzie “King Jesse’s jackal.” Ketchum opposed the expulsions of Mackenzie from the assembly, did his best to have him reinstated, and in the process suffered in the York riots of 1832.

 

Ketchum’s withdrawal from political life in 1834 did not mean withdrawal from public affairs. He helped to organize the Canadian Alliance Society, founded in December 1834 to further the demand for reform, and he was an active member of the society’s vigilance committee which collected much of the material Mackenzie included in The seventh report . . . on grievances (1835). When in 1836 Sir Francis Bond Head* dismissed the Executive Council and replied rudely to delegates presenting a petition of public protest, Ketchum helped to draw up the indignant and sarcastic response of the Reformers, and he and James Lesslie* were delegated to deliver it to the lieutenant governor. Ketchum continued to hope to secure reforms by peaceful means, though talk of rebellion began in 1837. He did not attend the meeting of Reformers at John Doel*’s brewery on 31 July 1837, because he knew that Mackenzie would propose a coup d’état. He refused to sign the resulting declaration of Toronto Reformers, broke with his former political associates, and took no part in the rebellion.

 

Soon after the rebellion Ketchum, though he remained in Toronto, moved his tannery to the outskirts of Buffalo, a location which gave his business wider prospects and which provided security for his son, William, who had fled Upper Canada in the aftermath of the rebellion. Moreover, the Toronto site had now grown too valuable for use as a tannery. Ketchum invested his profits from the Buffalo tannery in nearby farm lands which, as the city expanded, became very valuable. He had many interests to keep him in Toronto, including large real estate activities. In 1845, however, he decided to turn over his property in Toronto to the children of his first marriage and, with his second family, move to Buffalo where his extensive real estate developments now required his presence.

 

In Ketchum Toronto lost a generous citizen who had given building lots to his employees and who, before leaving for Buffalo, secured employment for them. He was vice-president of the York Temperance Society, founded in 1830, and built two halls for the society’s meetings. He was a founder of the Upper Canada Bible Society in 1828, and of the Upper Canada Tract Society established in 1832. He also endowed these societies with funds to enable them to present prize books annually to school children and to the Sunday schools. He was a founder, in 1830, of the Home District Savings Bank which served the town’s working class, and two years later helped to organize the York Mechanics’ Institute. In Buffalo Ketchum continued his benevolences to churches, schools, and temperance societies and he made annual gifts of books to the school children. He died in 1867. On the day of his funeral the schools of the city were closed in his honour.

When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.

 

It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.

 

Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.

  

The heroic rescue of the ship's crew

When the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. Down the ramp to her aid went the Burnham lifeboat, the John Godfrey Morris which had been on station at the town for the last ten years.

 

Launched down the rails on the jetty, the lifeboat with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands.

 

The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

 

Wreck remains there today

After the rescue, the sea pounded and smashed the ship and although attempts were made to lighten and refloat her, she was finally sold as a wreck.

 

Today, when the tide goes out, children play amid the timbers of the ship wreck, which lies just north of St Mary's Parish Church at Berrow, just south of Brean.

 

But when the wind blows and the big seas start to roll in, it doesn't take much imagination to see again that gallant rescue of not so long ago.

المهندسة الفلسطينية أماني الغريب سفيرة فوق العادة في أوروبا

حاورها: محمد كريزم - فلسطين - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "

wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=9961

عرفت في مجتمعها الفلسطيني بالشابة النشيطة والمثابرة التي تعمل طوعاً دون كلل أو ملل في تقديم الخدمات للجمهور، وبلورت شخصيتها المهنية الناجحة في عملها كمهندسة بارعة، وتمايزت بنشاطها في مجال حقوق الشباب والمرأة، وظهرت كفاءتها القيادية في نشاطها السياسي كمتحدثة لبقة ومؤثرة.

هي المهندسة الفلسطينية أماني الغريب والقيادية في الحزب السويدي Feminist Initiatives التي ترشحت عنه لتمثيله في البرلمان الأوروبي، وتكون بذلك حققت طموحاً كبيراً، لتصبح سفيرة فلسطينية فوق العادة في القارة الأوربية.

" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورتها وفيما يلي نصه:

* أماني الغريب من تكون؟

ناشطة فلسطينية من قلب مدينة غزة ولدت وتربت وترعرعت فيها، حاولت جاهدة النضال والكفاح من أجل قضايا مؤمنة فيها إيمان تام اهمها حقوق الإنسان وحقوق المرأة تحديداَ وكيفية معالجة تلك الإنتهاكات في ظل الظروف السياسية السائدة، كذلك عملت في شركة خاصة كبيرة وكنت المهندسة الوحيدة التي تدير كافة أقسامها فيما يتعلق بمجال الكمبيوتر، وعملت كمديرة مشاريع في إحدى جامعات غزة حيث كانت إنطلاقتي الحقيقية نحو العمل المجتمعي ونسج علاقات عمل مع جهات دولية التي تكللت بتكليفي كمديرة لبرنامج الصحة الجنسية والإنجابيةhttp://wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=9961 المعمول به في دول لبنان وفلسطين.وزفي وفي عام 2012 سافرت لدولة ايسلاندا للمشاركة في برنامج دراسات الجندر الذي تم تنفيذه بالتعاون مابين وزارة الشؤون الخارجية الايسلندية وجامعة ايسلاندا وقد كنت الطالبة العربية الوحيدة في البرنامج وصادف وجودي هناك حدوث الحرب الأخيرة على قطاع غزة مما دفعني للقيام بالعديد من الأنشطة الداعمة للقضية الفلسطينية والتي تمثلت في عرض لقرار الأمم المتحدة 1325 والذي ينص على حماية النساء المدنيات خلال الحرب وبعدها وعدم تطبيق هذا القرار من ناحية اسرائيل في كافة حروبها ضد شعبنا الفلسطيني ، وقد كان هذا العرض بوزارة الخارجية الايسلندية ذاتها .

* اين أثمرت جهودك المميزة على المستوى الأوروبي في شرح قضية الشعب الفلسطيني والتخفيف من معاناته؟

- يكفيني شرف أن مشاركاتي وحضوري على مستوى فعاليات أوروبية وغير أوروبية رفع اسم فلسطين ، فقد كنت في عام 2013 ضمن أصغر 100 قائد حول العالم تم اختيارهم من خلال مؤسسة امريكية تعني بحقوق المرأة وحقوق الإنسان وقد كنت امثل فلسطين ورفع اسم فلسطين من خلال تتويجي لهذا المؤتمر، خلال المؤتمر كنت العربية الوحيدة من شمال أفريقيا والشرق الأوسط التي قامت بمقابلة ميلنيدا بيل جيتس زوجة رجل الأعمال الشهير بيل جيتس أغنى أغنياء العالم خلال مقابلتها مع 8 قادة شباب من القادة الذين توجوا للحديث عن كيفية دعم أمور وشئون المرأة واستراتيجيات دعمهم ، تم توزيع خلال هذا المؤتمر الضخم الذي حضره 4500 مشارك ، كتيب شمل أحلام القادة الشباب ، وقد كان حلمي أن تنال نسائنا الفلسطينيات ولادة امنة ضمن رعاية طبية وصحيه سليمة حيث انني شرحت كيفية ترك بعض النساء على الحواجز لساعات طويلة اثناء ذهابهن للمشفى سواء لمتابعه الحمل او للولادة مما يؤدي لفقدان الجنين وشرحت وحشية هذا الاجراء وكيفية تأثيره وتهديد حياه الام والطفل جسديا ونفسيا وشرحت ان هذا يجعل جنود الاحتلال اكثر وحشية سواء ضد الشعب الفلطيني وايضا داخل مجتمعهم المدني وذلك لتعودهم على ممارسة هذه الافعال المريعه ضد المدنيين على الحواجز .

في شهر ابريل2013 شاركت في مؤتمر لاناليندا في فرنسا بمدينة مرسيليا تحدثت عن واقع قضايا المرأة الفلسطينية والعربية وشاركت بحضور ورشة عمل البنك الدولي لتدشين تقريرهم لسنه 2013 عن واقع النساء في المنطقة العربية (شمال افريقيا والشرق الأوسط) كان الحضور فقط يتم بدعوة شخصية وخلال الورشة شاركت بالتعليق على ضرورة تغيير بعض الاستراتيجيات المستخدمة لدعم قضايا المرأة وذلك بوجوب النزول للميدان ومقابلة النساء والعاملين بالمجال للتعرف على احتياجات النساء الحقيقية.

في شهر يونيو 2013 شاركت في برنامج دراسات السلام في المدرسة الصيفية العالمية بجامعة اوسلو خلال مشاركتي في هذ البرنامج تحدثت عن القضية الفلسطينية وقابلت بعض الشخصيات السياسية الهامة بالنرويج التي كانت تأتي للنقاش مع مشاركين برنامج دراسات السلام حول قضايا السلام ، تم دعوتي لالقاء محاضرتين بالمنتدي العالمي للطلاب بالمدرسة الصيفية ووصفت بالمحاضرة الاولي سياسات توزيع الهوية في فلسطين وقصة الفلسطينيين مع الهويات الملونة شارحة بذلك حال فلسطين منذ الاحتلال وسياسة الاحتلال بمنح هويات مختلفة لاهل القدس والضفة وغزة وكانت حتى تختلف بالالوان وتبعات اختلاف هذه الهويات من السماح او منع دخول الاراضي وتاثير هذه القضية على حركة المواطنين بغزة والضفة والقدس .

في فبراير شاركت بمؤتمر لمؤسسة اناليندا باستكهلم بالسويد وتحدثت عن انعاكاسات الربيع العربي على المراة في فلسطين وسوريا ومصر.

والقيت كلمة بنفس الموضوع في مقر مجموعة تابعه للامم المتحدة بيتبوري بالسويد.

هذه كانت اخر اعمالي لنصرة القضية ولكن هناك حدث بارز قمت به في 2012 يوم الاعتراف بفلسطين بالامم المتحدة وهو القاء خطاب بايسلاندا بمشاركة وزير الخارجية الايسلندي وقد نوهت لان اليوم وفي متل هذا اليوم تتردد الامم المتحدة بالاعتراف بدول فلسطين وهذا شيء غريب رغم انها وبنفس هذا الشهر ولكن من عام 1946 هي من سحب الاعتراف بدولة فلسطين وتحدثت عن ميراثنا الوطني وكيفية توريثنا لمفاتيح بيوتنا وحلمنا الذي يكبر يوما بعد يوم بعودتنا لديارنا.

وعرفت عن نفسي بأنني ناشطة ولكنني اعيد تعريف نفسي الان لكم كفلسطينية لاجئة هاجر جدي من بلدتنا الأصلية إلى قطاع غزة حاله كحال كل فلسطيني اضطر لترك أرضه مجبرا .

* حديثنا عن تطلعاتك وطموحاتك في الترشح للبرلمان الأوروبي؟ وما هي الدولة التي تمثليها في هذا البرلمان؟

- انا فلسطينية احمل الجواز الفلسطيني أقيم بمملكة النرويج ، مرشحة عن حزب سياسي سويدي اسمه Feminist Initiative بشكل استثنائي ولكن قانوني ونزل اسمي على موقع الترشيح لقائمة المرشحين للبرلمان الأوروبي.

* يعرفك الأوربيين أنك حمامة سلام متجولة في البلدان الأوربية، إذن ما هي رؤيتك للسلام في الشرق الأوسط؟

- السلام الداخلي هو أول خطوات نشر السلام العالمي ، بما انني ناشطة بمجال السلام فانا احمل رسالة سلام من فلسطين لكل العالم ، نحن شعب محب للسلام بشر لدينا مشاعر واحاسيس ببنحب الحياه ونهدف لسلام حقيقي.

* حسب جهودك الرامية لتمكين المرأة العربية والنهوض بمكانتها وتمتين دورها في المجتمع، هل وجدتي إستجابة حقيقية لطروحاتك في المؤتمرات العالمية وورش العمل التي شاركتي بها وكان لك إسهاماً مميزاً بها؟

- استجابة كبيرة من ناشطين حول العالم وذلك من خلال طرح قضايا المرأة وتأثير الوضع السياسي على الوضع الفلسطيني الاجتماعي والاقتصادي، الاوربيين كتير شعوب رائع او معظمهم هاد لو استثنينا بعض العنصريين، الفكرة الي بتوصلهم انه احنا شعب عدواني، لكن لما تحكي باسلوبهم، تخاطبهم بلغتهم، لا اقصد هون لغة الحوار، اقصد منطقيته، بيستمعوا لالك، وبيتجاوبوا معك، هاد هو اسلوبيـ لانه درست عندهم

طبعا خلال اسفاري المتكررة تحدثت عن شئون المراة وقضاياها باسهاب كامرأة فلسطينية تريد تغيير الواقع ، طرأت الدور النضالي البارز لها منذ فجر التاريخ وحتى يومنا وماتعرضت له طرحت محاضرات بمنظمة العفو الدولية وبالصليب الاحمر وبجامعة اوسلو وبمؤسسات اوروبية اخري .

* ما هو الوصف الأقرب لك " قائدة شبابية – ناشطة في مجال حقوق المرأة – قيادية سياسية ؟

- بدأت مشواري كناشطة في مجال حقوق المراة ، ومديرة لمشاريع بحقوق الانسان والمراة وقضايا المراة . في مايوم 2013 تم انتخابي لاكون من اصغر 100 قائد بالعالم تم تتويجهم من خلال مؤسسة امريكية تعنى بحقوق المرأة تسمي women deliver وذلك في ماليزيا كولالمبور .

الان بدات مشواري كسياسية لذلك الاقرب لي في هذه المراة وصف السياسية التي تهدف لتغيير الكثير من السياسات.

* في حال فوزك بالبرلمان الأوروبي ، ما هي أول خطوة ستقومين بها لصالح بلدك فلسطين؟

- تمثيل اللاجئين بأوروبا وخصوصا بالسويد ونصرة قضاياهم وحل مشاكلهم والمساهمة في تغيير العديد من السياسات التي لا تناصرهم والعمل على ايجاد مشاريع حقيقة لدمجهم بالمجتمعات الاوربية بشكل يحفظ هوياتهم،وحقوق المرأة والمساواة الجندرية كانت ومازالت اجندة اعمل عليها بقوة .

طبعا كفلسطينية سيتم سؤالي عن القضية وبالتالي ساقوم بتوضيح اننا شعب محب للسلام لدينا مشاعر نحب ونفرح ونريد حياه كريمة لاننا شعب محب للحياه.

* ماخلاصة دراستك للجندر ؟ وهل ما يمكن تطبيقه في أوروبا يمكن تحقيقة في الدول العربية؟

- المساواة الجندرية ضرورة واهميه لايمكن الاستغناء عنها وضرورة تمثيل النساء في كافة مناحي الحياه والمحافل الدولية والمحلية بشكل مشرف ومشاركتهم بصنع القرارات والسياسات الخاصة بمجتمعاتهم ، تمثيلهم بالبرلمان والوظائف العليا بالدولة امر هام جدا.

NASA's Super Guppy at Tucson's Pima Air And Space Museum

 

Serial Number: 52-2693

Registration: N1038V, N940

Markings: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1991

 

Based on the Boeing C-97 cargo plane and the 377 airliner the huge "Guppy" super-transports are some of the most unique aircraft ever built. Designed to carry very large, but relatively light cargos the Guppies were built from parts of retired U.S. Air Force C-97 Stratofreighters and airline 377 Stratocruisers.

 

The planes proved to be very useful for carrying segments of rockets and much of the Saturn rocket that powered the Apollo Program was transported in the Super Guppy. This is the second Guppy, the first "Super Guppy" built. Its parts came from at least two different aircraft. The majority of the airframe came from a former Pan American Airways airliner. However the wings, engines and forward fuselage came from one of the Air Force's experimental turbo-prop powered YC-97J aircraft, 52-2693. The Super Guppy continued in use by NASA until 1991 when it was retired in favor of a younger Super Guppy.

Pano On Black

11:54 am CEST -> A pano formed by assemblage of 11 vertical shots. The panorama was an obvious choice here because I was interested in both the lighthouse and the tree. I used a 70 mm lens which gives a view a bit closer than eye. The point of view was determined by the tree position; there was no alternative pov to have the tree in that weak V. I think a wide angle would perform word here (presenting the lighthouse too far), but I have to try.

 

11:54 am CEST -> Panorámica de 11 imágenes verticales. En este caso, el formato panorama fue una solución más que un objetivo o una opción. Quería una fotografía en la que aparecieran el árbol y el faro. El punto de disparo está muy determinado en una línea y a una distancia determinada del árbol. Sólo así queda en el fondo de esa V y contrasta sobre el cielo. Desde ese punto un angular dejaría el faro demasiado alejado, aunque realmente debería probarlo algún día de estos, con mejor luz y más tiempo. Utilicé un 70 mm, que da una vista similar a la del ojo (algo de aumento) y sobre todo mantenía el equilibrio de distancias entre el árbol (más cerca) y el faro (más alejado).

inspired by this poem "One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied, The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

 

"Fire Pink (Silene virginica) is a wildflower in the pink family, Caryophyllaceae. It is known for its distinct brilliant red flowers. Each flower is approximately five centimeters in diameter and composed of five notched, brilliant red petals which extend into a long tube. It is a small (20-80 cm tall), short-lived perennial (2-3 years), with lance shaped leaves. Its stems, and the bases of the flowers, are covered in short sticky hairs. Fire Pink begins blooming in late spring and continuing throughout the summer. It is sometimes grown in wildflower, shade, and rock gardens. Ecology

 

Fire Pink grows in open woods and rocky deciduous slopes in eastern North America, ranging as far north as extreme southern Ontario. It is protected as a state endangered species in Wisconsin and Florida, and as a state threatened species in Michigan.

 

Fire Pink's principal pollinator is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), which is attracted by the flowers bright red petals and sugary nectar."

Langania village, Tantanua dance (mask dance) and the Sing-sing of the malagan people.

 

Sing-sing is a gathering of a few tribes or villages in Papua New Guinea. People arrive to show their distinct culture, dance and music. The aim of these gatherings is to peacefully share traditions. Villagers paint and decorate themselves for sing-sings.

Malagan ceremonies are the most large-scale and famous of the many events that take place within the malagan culture. They take place irregularly, and are typically large and complex events, taking several days, and requiring months or years of preparation.

While a malagan ceremony is always held in the name of one or more people who have died in recent years, it is not at all merely a mortuary rite. Many other interactions take place within the overall event, including announcements, repayment of debts, recognition of obligations, resolution of disputes, and many other customary activities.

 

Malagan carvings

Malagan carvings, now world-famous, are the wooden carvings which are created for use in malagan ceremonies. Traditionally these were burnt at the conclusion of the event; in modern times most are now retained, as the carving tradition is now only known by a few.
