The Stadium Business Summit 2023 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Wednesday June 28, 2023.
The rollers and chain in the previous photo are in use here. Ghost, the red and white boat of 'last boat to be slipped' fame is in a cradle which is positioned several metres away from the tracks. Ghost is now being moved sideways with the "come-along" (ratchet chain hoist) until the wheel of the cradle meets the track rail. I am sure someone else can explain this better! I had great fun making Ghost move :-)) and here she is after being moved onto the rails ready for slipping.
This image has strong emotional meaning for me. I shot it on March 21, 2006. It was freezing cold and my hands were so cold, I could barely hold the camera still long enough to get these shots (it's a stitched composite of 16 images).
Times were so good when I shot this and I had no idea what hard times were to come within the next two months. I won't exploit my friend's memory here for the world, and I'm not looking for sympathy. But I miss him dearly.
Every time I see this image, I feel a strong surge of emotions. And every time I'm in Upstate New York, I have to visit this spot. I miss our adventures together.
If you ever have the opportunity to go on a trip with someone, take it. Even if you can't really afford it. If a friend just wants to hang out, don't find an excuse not to. Take every opportunity you can to explore what this world has to show you, and to spend as much time with friends as you can. You have no idea just how quickly those times can come to a permanent end.
I may only be 26, but I know how precious my youth still is. Stay young forever. There will come a day when you'll no longer be able to explore. And that day may not be in your later years.
O Museu do Expedicionário, criado em 1946, ilustra a participação do Brasil na Segunda Guerra Mundial e, em especial, a participação dos soldados paranaenses.

During my lunch hour today I wandered down to the Water of Leith for some dipper shots. Got a few okay ones but mostly throwaway. On my way back to the office my attention was drawn to loud chirping in the trees at Belford Road and to my delight around 6 Long-tailed tits were hopping about. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two land on a nearby branch and one of them began hanging upside down. It took a second to realise that it was dangling helplessly because its wing had somehow got stuck. Now that I've scrutinised the shots, it would appear that the wing is literally glued to the end of the branch where some sap is.
The poor thing dangled helplessly as the rain started and the wind picked up. Other long-tails landed beside it and looked down in what appeared to be a show of concern. They certainly knew something was wrong. There was lots of anxious tweeting. Eventually the bird managed to pull itself up enough to start pulling away at its wing feather. To no avail at first, and I really thought it was going to end up dying there.
But the story has a happy ending as the wee thing eventually managed to rip its wing free, with minimal damage it would appear. I hope so anyway!
Does anyone know if this is a common occurence. I'm aware that tree sap is extremely sticky and could act like a sort of glue to a delicate feather but surely this kind of thing doesn't happen too often.
This is the only embarkation and debarkation point on East Anacapa Island. The ship's captain must maneuver the vessel in tight against the pilings which also serve as railings that hold up the small wooden deck that serves as a pier to board and deboard passengers. Of course the boat is rocking and so are the waves. During our voyage two persons standing on the deck and one on the ship assisted helping passengers to step onto and across the narrow rung of a ladder and onto the deck itself. A short stair case provides access to the next level where there is a larger area with benches that are sheltered by a roof to protect visitors at that level from the elements. Then the three visible metal staircases painted white which were recently reconstructed after the originals rusted. After ascending two more concrete stair cases built into the rock you arrive at the bottom of the 'crain' where there is an observation point and an information board. To reach the promintory and the surface of the island one must ascend three additional stair cases, after which it is a quarter mile uphill walk along a trail to the visitor's center. Are you tired yet? I was.

I was really really excited because I’ve wanted him to do it for a long time.
It looks really great and I’m proud of him because I know he was unsure about getting it and going into Zebra always makes people a little nervous when they go to get pierced. I told Ari and she was excited too. Im hella into this new ear thing. Its really hot. Haha. So I took pictures of him with his ear and him hacky sack-ing.
Hes really really boss at that. Fo real. I have never seen anyone that pro at hacky sack.
We were at my house anddddd yeah. Tried to watch walk the line but my dad made him go home. So we ended up making out for the last few minutes he was here. Now I am writing this and I am tired and happy so I am going to stop and go to bedddd
TGIF!!!!!! Im so thankful I get to sleep. Omg. So excited. Tomorrow Ari and I go on our SF adventure! :)

So, I’m in the American Wing of the MET today, and I’m going through the visible storage areas, as
we’re all looking for something
Me, it so happens, was searching for some grandfather clocks I knew were there. So I find them, and then, over my shoulder, Yikes!, there she is, ...the ghost of Madame X, leaning on me and breathing heavy. She’s upset… She used to be upstairs, in the limelight! Gee, in New York, there was a time when
all the women wanted to be MadameX
She cries. She can’t stand it here, under glass, in this nether storage kingdom. She needs to be out, where the world can admire her. She’s recognizes me,…she knows I’m one of her countless admirers…but she only had airs for me, up there,..then, when things were swell. She’s had it with the MET now, though , and wants to go back to Paris…If only I could help her out of the glass, she whispers in my ear, …softly now, slowly,…she would take me to Paris with her… WHOA!!!, Where have I heard that before. This very past spring, I got taken in by
near the main entrance of the MET at the head of the stairs…I helped her down and out, with the same promise of a Parisian interlude and when we got out
Marie-Denise ditches me in the park - see note
( they caught up with her at JFK, and she’s back on the wall, but I barely say hello anymore). Hey! I shout, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice!...and I bolted. Got to head of the stairs, but Madame X was angry now, and quickly flew after me and gave me good swift kick in the you know where… luckily, I landed out in the courtyard safe. A little wounded pride, but at least I wasn’t out standing in the rain soaked park, as I was last spring, with a broken heart..
So, the last week of 52 weeks in B&W demonstrates that
lead to dreams...and ghost stories.

L’action syndicale de plus en plus unitaire en France, depuis le 1er mai 2009, est plus marquée au niveau du personnel de l’enseignement. L’école française de tous les cycles et niveaux est menacée de privatisation, de même que la remise en cause de la laïcité. La suppression de 16000 postes de travail pour la rentrée 2010, ainsi que le réforme en général où le lycée est visé d’un chamboulement, mobilisent les travailleurs. Le climat dans les établissements est aussi peu stable.

No hemos acabado con este extraño 2014 y ya tenemos a varios de los grandes preparando su alineación de cara a la próxima temporada. A Radiohead, probablemente Metallica y quién sabe si Tool va a sumarse don Steven Wilson, la figura más impactante en el mundo del Rock Progresivo, figura que no solo se alimenta por su labor estrictamente como músico sino que se engrandece por su empeño en volver a poner en vigencia a muchos de los clásicos que el prog nos regaló en los setenta.
Y claro, una vez nos ha metido en el zurrón a un clásico como The Power and the Glory de los infravalorados Gentle Giant y ha mezclado discos como Pale Communion o Distant Satellites de Anathema, Steven Wilson nos pide que hagamos sitio a su cuarto disco en solitario, disco que anuncia para inicios de 2015 y al cual, por supuesto, estaremos muy atentos en esta casa.
Recording of the follow up album to 'The Raven that Refused To Sing' starts this month (with the same band line-up).
— Steven Wilson (@StevenWilsonHQ) agosto 2, 2014
El prolífico músico londinense ya había anunciado en mayo de este año que estaba trabajando en su nuevo disco, pero fue ayer, a través de las Redes Sociales que confirmaba la entrada al estudio de grabación este mismo mes de agosto, confirmando el mismo line up que ya le ayudó con el impresionante The Raven That Refused to Sing, anuncios publicados quizás por la alegría de leer que su última obra era considerada la novena mejor en la historia del Rock Progresivo por parte de la famosa publicación Prog Rock Mag.
En su último mensaje en twitter Steven Wilson nos invitaba a permanecer atentos pues en breve nos daría más detalles al respecto de, desde ya, uno de los discos más esperados de cara al año que viene. Y lo estaremos, y os informaremos convenientemente.

An ivory head of Santo Domingo de Guzman
ESTIMATE: PHP 550,000 - 600,000
18th century
Manila
Ivory, wood, glass eyes, polychrome
18 x 11 x 13 cm (7 x 4 1/4 x 5 in)
Provenance:
From the heirs of Dr. José P. Bantug
Separately carved ivory heads were intended to be attached to a sculpted saint’s body, which could take several forms: de tallado, a fully carved and finely detailed wooden body painted in organic polychrome to create a complete sculpture; de gozne or mannequin-type wooden body with articulated limbs; or a bastidor-type structure consisting of a half-length carved wooden torso with a wooden slat framework below, functioning like a petticoat and also fitted with articulated limbs. The latter two forms were designed for de vestir sculptures, meant to be dressed in real, often elaborately embroidered garments. Once completed, these santo images were installed in church altar niches or used as processional figures. Affluent families likewise commissioned santo images for private devotion within their homes.
This ivory head represents Santo Domingo de Guzmán. It features an elongated, narrow face with softly rounded yet prominent cheeks and a refined jawline. The almond-shaped eyes are slightly wide and contemplative, retaining their original, well-integrated glass elements. Heavy lids rest beneath high-arched eyebrows, enhancing the introspective expression. The nose is slender and elongated, characteristic of Baroque devotional sculpture. The beard is deeply undercut and stylized in controlled, layered curls, while the small mouth with gently fleshy lips conveys a calm, inward-looking demeanor. The overall aesthetic is light and refined. A circular cavity beneath the head confirms that it was designed to be mounted onto a wooden body. Both its construction and stylistic characteristics point to early 18th-century (1700–1740) production in Manila workshops, where highly skilled Chinese artisans (Sangleys) collaborated with indigenous Filipino carvers. During the early to mid-1700s, sculptors increasingly emphasized subtle naturalism, evident here in the slightly parted lips – revealing carved teeth when viewed at an angle – and in the delicately indicated Adam’s apple (laryngeal prominence). This ivory head represents a superb example of Manila workshops at their technical peak, during a period when the colonial settlement was recognized as a global center of religious art.
Possibly due to pecuniary considerations or the unavailability of ivory of sufficient size, the uppermost portion of the head, including the finely carved tonsure, was fashioned separately from wood and surmounted onto the ivory. Based on strict classical proportions, the head would have originally belonged to a sculpture measuring approximately 36 to 42 inches in height.
Santo Domingo de Guzman or Saint Dominic (1170-1221) was a Castilian Catholic priest and founder of the Dominican Order. He and his order are traditionally credited with spreading and popularizing the rosary. The mark on the ivory forehead indicates the former presence of a star appliqué, one of the saint’s principal attributes, symbolizing the light of holiness and divine wisdom.
This ivory head has remained in the possession of the Bantug family, passed down through successive generations from their distinguished collection, beginning with the patriarch Dr. José P. Bantug (1884–1964), physician, public health educator, and author.

Listen, at first you said I do, but now it's I did,
Said together we should live, now your mad with time we spend,
Used to be jealous of my friends, and fill my weekends,
But, now your off for pastimes,
Playin' games with my mind,
Your layin' the blame in my lap, but delaying laying in our bed,
Yo, I meant what I said when you weren't listening, and I'm not saying it again

TRUTH #1003
I TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY
Today I was caught off guard by something (more like someone)
But I proud of myself for the way I responded to it.
I could have very easily made a huge mistake.
And It's funny that right after all this happened we both laughed it off
As if it was all just a test.
This whole month feels like it's been this huge test. I've been so busy lately,
but I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end

Las dos principales consolas de la actual generación, Xbox One y PlayStation 4, se presentaron inicialmente durante 2013 con el negro como color principal. Algunos detalles también estuvieron disponibles desde el primer momento con otras tonalidades, pero el cuerpo principal de ambos cacharros se ha mantenido siempre igual. Hasta ahora.
Tanto PS4 como Xbox One tendrán sus ediciones blancas durante este año. La de Sony lo hará bajo una edición especial junto con Destiny y su blanco glaciar; por su parte, la de Microsoft en blanco aún no es oficial, aunque ya ha aparecido en algunas tiendas online: sí, Xbox One terminará llegando en blanco, y casi coincidiendo en tiempo con su compañera y contrincante de batallas.
En el caso de la Xbox One blanca os sonará porque surgió como una edición especial para empleados de Microsoft. Ahora se abriría al público y, como la PS4, también con una edición especial junto con Sunset Overdrive, una exclusividad para las de Microsoft que se especula con que vaya a lanzarse al mercado a finales de octubre. Lo lógico es que el bundle de la Xbox One blanca y Sunset Overdrive también empiece a venderse en esas fechas, claro.
Jugando al ajedrez: negras o blancas, tú elijes
Suele ser muy habitual que las consolas de escritorio se presenten primero en color negro con las salvedades de Nintendo, cuya Wii empezó vendiéndose sólo en blanco, y la Wii U en ambos colores. Tanto Microsoft como Sony han tenido affaires tanto con negro como con blanco, dependiendo del modelo con mayor o menor importancia de uno u otro.
Evidentemente el color de una videoconsola no afecta en absoluto a su rendimiento, pero también es cierto que el blanco suele ser un color muy requerido por los usuarios de tecnología, generalmente por una mera cuestión estética. En el pasado también hemos visto, incluso, ediciones especiales mucho más llamativas que los planos negro o blanco, y seguramente éstas también terminen llegando al mercado tarde o temprano.

See http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/7961/all, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Przewalski's Horse is extinct in the wild and only maintained through captive breeding programmes.
Here is an extract from the IUCN site regarding this species:
Equus ferus ssp. przewalskii – Extinct in the Wild
Extract from Wakefield et al. 2002, pp. 83-84: "Since the ‘rediscovery’ of the Przewalski’s Horse for western science, western zoos and wild animal parks became interested in this species for their collections. Several long expeditions were mounted to catch animals. Some expeditions came back empty handed and some had only seen a glimpse of Przewalski’s Wild Horse. It proved difficult to catch adult horses, because they were too shy and fast. Capture of foals, with possible killing of the adult harem members, was considered the only option (Bouman and Bouman 1994). Four capture expeditions that managed to catch live foals took place between 1897 and 1902. Fifty three of these foals reached the west alive. Between the 1930s and the 1940s only a few Przewalski’s Horses were caught and most died. At least one mare was crossbred with domestic horses by the Mongolian War Ministry. One mare (Orliza III), particularly through her son Bars, was of great importance to breeding in the west (Bouman and Bouman 1994).
Small groups of horses were reported through the 1940s and 1950s in an area between the Baitak-Bogdo ridge and the ridge of the Takhin-Shara-Nuru (which, translated from Mongolian, means "the Yellow Mountain of the Wild Horse), but numbers appeared to decline dramatically after World War II. A number of causes have been cited for the final extinction of Przewalski’s horses. Among these are significant cultural and political changes (Bouman and Bouman 1994), hunting (Zhao and Liang 1992, Bouman and Bouman 1994), military activities (Ryder 1993), climatic change (Sokolov et al. 1992), and competition with livestock and increasing land use pressure (Sokolov et al. 1992, Ryder 1993, Bouman and Bouman 1994). Capture expeditions probably diminished the remaining Przewalski’s Horse populations by killing and dispersing the adults (S. Dulamtseren in Van Dierendonck and de Vries 1996). The harsh winters in 1945, 1948, and 1956 probably had an additional impact on the small population (Bouman and Bouman 1994). Increased pressure on, and rarity of waterholes in their last refuge should also be considered as a significant factor contributing to their extinction (Van Dierendonck and de Vries 1996).
The last confirmed sighting in the wild was made in 1969 by the Mongolian scientist N. Dovchin. He saw a stallion near a spring called Gun Tamga, north of the Tachin-Shara-Nuru, in the Dzungarian Gobi (Paklina and Pozdnyakova 1989). Annual investigations by the Joint Mongolian-Soviet Expedition have since failed to find conclusive evidence for their survival in the wild (Ryder 1990). Chinese biologists conducted a survey in northeastern Xinjiang from 1980 to 1982 (covering the area of 88–90° E and 41°31'–47°10' N) without finding any horses (Gao and Gu 1989). The last wild populations have almost certainly disappeared."
