Borden and Dawson Counties, Texas Ranch
Location: The ranch is well located southwest of Gail, TX.
Acres:15,920.5 acres, more or less
Terrain: Much of the ranch has a rolling to hilly terrain, draining to the Colorado River and Gold Creek. There is some country located on top of the Caprock Escarpment. Native grasses are in excellent condition, and there is no sign of overgrazing. Cover is generally provided by mesquite and cedar, with areas of hackberry and willows along the river and the creek. There is very little salt cedar along the river and creek on the ranch.
Water: The ranch is very well watered by windmills, electric submersible wells and numerous ponds. The Colorado River heads just off the property, and several springs are located through the river channel. Additionally, Gold Creek heads on the western portion of the ranch and eventually feeds into the river.
Improvements: The ranch is improved by a ranch manager's home, several sets of livestock pens and a great network of ranch and oil field roads.
Access: Access is provided by a substantial amount of paved highway frontage.
Hunting/Recreation: This is an excellent area for wildlife. Whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, aoudad sheep, turkey, bobwhite and blue quail and feral hogs are common.
Price: $495.00 per deeded acre
Remarks: This is a very good ranch with substantial live water. There is considerable oil production on much of the ranch, but the ranch has been priced to sell.
Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.
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.

Investigators from Scotland Yard arrived in Islamabad on Jan. 4 to help the Pakinasti authorities on the investigation of the death of Benazir Bhutto. Rumours have surrounded the exact causes of her death, as a man shot her while she was standing in her car, waving through the sunroof, then a suicide bomber exploded himself. The oficial version concluded she banged her head against the sunroof due to the shock of the explosion, but other witnesses (including the person who washed her body) said she had been shot. Her party, the PPP, has called for a UN investigation but so far, president Musharraf has rejected this request and asked instead for the help of the UK.
On Jan.5, the Scotland Yard team together with the Pakistani officials went to Liaqat Bagh, the park in Rawalpindi in front of which the bombing occured, to be briefed on the events. The scene itself, however, has nothing to reveal in terms of material evidence as it's a busy street opened to traffic.
Here, a Pakistani official shows the English investigator the impatcts of the explosion on a nearby wall.

Oggettistica in Dung Paper con Carta riciclata in cacca d'elefante
ECO MAXIMUS è nata per produrre materiale per cancelleria e regalo da una materia molto "originale". Incredibilmente infatti, i prodotti di carta, totalmente
hand-crafted, sono fatti al 75% di sterco di elefante e per un 25% di carta riciclata.
PERCHE' ECO MAXIMUS ESISTE
Carta in cacca d'elefante
Lo Sri Lanka è la casa a di un decimo dei 40.000 elefanti Asiatici selvaggi, elefanti che in Sri Lanka non vengono uccisi per le loro zanne; non sono uccisi per la carne, poichè nessuno mangia la carne di elefante; non sono uccisi per la pelle, poichè non vi è mercato per non esiste industria della pelle di elefante.
Sono semplicemente uccisi perchè interferiscono con l'agricoltura. Dal 1950, è probabile che più di 4.000 elefanti siano stati abbattuti nel conflitto tra l'uomo e l'elefante.
L'elefante è senza spazio in Sri Lanka. La maggior parte delle aree protette abitate dagli elefanti sono piccole, meno di 1.000 kmq, mentre gli elefanti, possono spostarsi per centinaia di chilometri nel corso di una stagione. Il loro appetito è enorme e gli elefanti e le persone non possono vivere insieme dove l'agricoltura è la forma dominante di utilizzo del suolo, a meno che il danno che causano ai contadini possa essere ricompensato.
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Non ci sono facili soluzioni per risolvere il conflitto! Molto dipenderà da come i contadini percepiranno il valore dell'elefante per fermarne l'uccisione ingiustificata. Molti si stanno convincendo che l'unico modo per convivere pacificamente passi attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elefante come una risorsa sostenibile economica. Lo sterco di elefante è un prodotto finito ed è anche una merce che è liberamente disponibile a in qualunque momento (mediamente ogni elefante adulto ne produce 180-200 kg al giorno) e, fino ad ora, nessuno aveva trovato alcun utilizzo.
Il progetto di Maximus per fabbricare la carta dallo sterco di elefante può aiutare la percezione dei contadini sul valore economico dell'elefante nelle aree di conflitto. Il progetto, cominciato nel 1997, ha prodotto con successo e lanciato sul mercato ciò che è conosciuto come "carta di pachiderma".
In questo modo "la cacca di elefante" prende la forma di quaderni, fogli di carta, scatole, borse ecc. La sola limitazione è l'immaginazione!
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Questi prodotti sono divenuti estremamente popolari fra la popolazione locale ed i turisti stranieri. Anche se lo sterco di elefante non può risolvere il crescente conflitto uomo-elefante, il suo uso a beneficio dei contadini che soffrono andrà certamente ad innalzare il livello di tolleranza di questi ultimi. Se l'elefante sarà visto come un valore economico per contribuire significativamente al benessere delle persone, le stesse non ameranno vederlo scomparire dalla loro area. In conclusione, tutti gli sforzi sarebbero futili senza il sostegno delle comunità locali.

Die Lachmöwe ist mit einer Länge von 38 cm und einer Flügelspannweite von 91 cm die kleinste Möwe. Sie hat lange, schlanke, spitze Flügel mit einem auffälligem zur Flügelspitze hin verbreitertem weißen Keil am Vorderrand des Handflügels. Ihre artkennzeichnende schokoladenbraune Gesichtsmaske trägt die Lachmöwe nur zur Brutzeit. Im Winter haben Lachmöwen einen weißen Kopf mit einigen graubraunen Flecken. Jungvögel bekommen diese Gesichtsmaske erst im dritten Jahr. Sie ist zugleich Ausweis für den Zugang zu den Brutkolonien. Nur Lachmöwen mit Gesichtsmasken werden dort geduldet.
English:
The black-headed gull is with a length of 38 cm and a wingspan of 91 cm, the smallest gull. She has long, slender, pointed wings,with a conspicuous towards the wing tip widened white wedge at the front edge of the hand wing. The species characteristic chocolate-brown face mask has the black-headed gull only in the breeding season. At the winter black-headed gulls have a white head with some gray-brown spots. Young birds get that face mask until the third year. It is both a badge for access to breeding colonies. Only black-headed gulls with face masks are tolerated there.
I forgot the name of this plant - I'll have to go back and find it. There was a name plate next to it, I should've taken a picture. Rhodo...something. Rhodochondria... ?

This street character is someone I ran across before, a day I didn’t have my camera and missed him in action and always swore to capture him one day. The man is a one man comedy show with a surreal sense of humour. He doesn’t do it for money or anything; he is just constantly amused by the world as he sees it. His constant prop is the handset part of an old phone which he constantly makes calls on!
This day he is tagging along with the Legalise Cannabis protestors who marched through Dublin in a fragrant cloud of protest, he doesn’t need what they propose, that’s for sure he is naturally out there.
The day I didn’t have a camera, he was using the same junk plastic handset as if it had a built in camera like a modern cell phone to photograph a Rolls Royce parked on the street and snapping shots of his friend another street dweller posing as if he owned it. Sighs .. Never forget a camera.

Georgia May Jagger es la protagonista de la campaña Otoño-Invierno 2014/2015 Modern Royalty de Sunglass Hut, el distribuidor de gafas de sol deluxe que incluye firmas como Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Miu Miu, Chanel, Bvlgari, Ray-Ban, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Armani, Coach…. Imágenes divertidas en las que las gafas de sol se convierten en el “centro de la corona” ¿Quién dijo que las gafas de sol son sólo para el verano?
Me encanta la idea que las diferentes firmas realicen campañas también en invierno de gafas de sol, un complementos esencial para muchos durante todo el año. Un ejemplo lo tenemos en esta divertida campaña, donde Georgia aparece con el modelo brasileño Marlon Teixeira, posando para un retrato real en un trono con adornos situado en un jardín lleno de originales esculturas de arbustos. Unas imágenes realizadas en Los Ángeles con la fotógrafa Ellen von Unwerth y el estilista Franck Chevalier.
La hija de Mick Jagger, que representa la realeza
del rock, comenta sobre esta campaña que es una idea divertida: «Me parece una idea divertida convertir las gafas de sol en la corona de los tiempos modernos. Está dando la vuelta a todo lo que sabemos sobre la realeza a la antigua».

The Stadium Business Summit 2023 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Wednesday June 28, 2023.
According to Sino Hotel Guide:
The Hall of Abstinence is located near the western entrance of the Temple of Heaven. It is encircled by two walls. The Inner wall is called Brick City, and the outer wall is called the Purple Wall. To further ensure the safety of the emperor, a moat was built to surround the Purple Wall.
A bell tower, two stone pavilions and a beamless hall are the main structures here. The bell tower is in the northeast corner of the Hall of Abstinence. Before each ceremony. bells would be struck when the emperor left for the Circular Altar Mound and would not stop until the emperor arrived, After the ceremony, the bells would be struck again.
Of the two stone pavilions, the right pavilion kept time while the left one has a bronze plate with the word "fasting" engraved on it as a constant reminder to the emperor to observe fasting rules. The beamless hall was one of the most famous buildings in Beijing. A blue-tiled roof atop the hall symbolized that the emperor must always acknowledge the Supremacy of the Heavenly Emperor.
Before each ceremony, emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held a three-day fast during Spring, Summer and Winter. The emperors spent two days fasting in the Forbidden City and completed the three-day fast in the Hall of Abstinence.
During the three days, the emperor could not drink wine. He could only eat vegetables, but not garlic or onions. The emperor couldn't have any entertainment, nor could he handle any state affairs. Also, he had to be away from women. Naturally, such restrictions could be difficult for any emperor who was accustomed to all these luxuries.

Juana I de Castilla, (1479 – 1555) . Fue la primera reina de España junto con su hijo Carlos I de España ( y V de Alemania)............
Pero lo más importante de su vida fué el amor a su marido, Felipe, llamado " el Hermoso" por atractivo.Como en un cuento , se casó con su príncipe encantador. Por desgracia, murió, y al quedarse viuda, se sumió en un profundo dolor, y sus enemigos la relegaron al cautiverio en Tordesillas, y la apodaron "La loca"...su delito fué amar como una mujer, no como una Reina.

Unfortunately, he died, and still had when her a widow, sank in a deep pain, and her enemies relegated her to the captivity in Tordesillas, and nicknamed " The mad one " ... her crime was to love as a woman, not as a Queen.

White Sands National Monument, New Mexico
White Sands National Monument:
At the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert lies a mountain-ringed valley, the Tularosa Basin. Rising from the heart of this basin is one of the world's great natural wonders-the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert here and created the largest gypsum dune field in the world.
The dunes, brilliant and white, are ever changing. They grow, crest, then slump but always advance. Slowly but relentlessly the sand, driven by strong southwest winds, covers everything in its path. Within the extremely harsh environment o the dune field, even plants and animals adapted to desert conditions struggle to survive. White Sands National Monument preserves a major part of this gypsum dune field, along with the plants and animals that have adapted successfully to this constantly changing environment.

وأشارت إلى أنها أنهت “السنة الدراسة الجامعية الأولى بجامعة ماساتشوستس الاميركية للتكنولوجيا (MIT)”. وعن سبب اختيارها للدراسة التخصصية في واحدة من أهم الجامعات العلمية في العالم، قالت: “الجامعة لا تكشف سبب اختيار الطالب للالتحاق بها، لكن القيمين عليها قد يكونوا استندوا لعلاماتي العالية، ولا سيما في مادة الرياضيات وفي امتحاني الـ S.AT 1 والــ S.AT 2 (امتحانا دخول للجامعة في الرياضيات واللغة الانكليزية)، فضلا عن تفوقي الدائم في المدرسة ونشاطاتي في كل المجالات، إضافة إلى أنني حققت أكثر من فوز في العديد من المسابقات، وربما لكل هذه الاسباب مجتمعة تم اختياري لمتابعة الدراسة في هذه الجامعة، وهي من المرات النادرة التي يستقبل فيها هذا القسم طلابا من المنطقة العربية، إلا إذا كانوا يحملون الجنسية الاميركية”.
حلمها الـ “ناسا”
تجدر الاشارة إلى أن جامعة ماساتشوستس الاميركية للتكنولوجي (MIT)هي من الجامعات المتخصصة في علوم الفضاء، وقد اختارت نصر دراسة “هندسة علم الفضاء” Aerospace Engineering، وقالت: “مدة الدراسة أربع سنوات، ومن ثم تبدأ الدراسات العليا (الماستر والدكتوراه)، وفي الدراسة الجامعية نتعلم كل ما هو على صلة بعلوم هندسة الفضاء وليس فقط موضوعا محددا”.
وعما إذا كان طموحها أن تصل إلى وكالة الفضاء الأميركية (ناسا)، قالت بحماس: “أكيد (ناسا) أو cern (أوروبا) أو SpaceX (مؤسسة أميركية لتكنولوجيا الفضاء)، لكن (ناسا) NASA هي حلمي”.
وعما تحلم في مجال الاختصاص، إن كان التلسكوبات المتطورة أو الدفع النفاث على غرار العالم اللبناني شارل العشي، قالت نصر: “أكثر من يستهويني هو عالم الصواريخ والمركبات الفضائية، وسأسعى لتحقيق طموحاتي في هذا المجال، لأوكد أن المرأة اللبنانية بشكل خاص والمرأة بشكل عام قادرة بإرادتها أن تصل إلى أعلى المراتب وفي مجالات علمية متطورة ومتقدمة”.
وقالت “أتمنى تحقيق حلمي وأن أجعل الناس أقرب من معرفة الفضاء ودراسته، وأن اللبنانيين قادرون على الوصول إلى أعلى المراتب اذا كان لديهم الطموح”.
وشكرت نصر “عائلتي التي وقفت الى جانبي ومدرستي وأساتذتي في لبنان والـــ AMIDEAST (مؤسسة تدعم الطلاب اللبنانيين المتفوقين للتقدم الى الجامعات الأميركية)”.
أما والدها رضوان نسيب نصر، فاعتبر أن “ما حققته مايا ابنة السبعة عشر عاما هو فخر لجميع اللبنانيين”، وأثنى “على اهتمام green area في مواكبة ما وصلت اليه مايا وغيرها من الطلاب اللبنانيين المتفوقين”.
السنة الدراسية الأولى
أنهت مايا السنة الاولى بتفوق في مجال دراسة هندسة الفضاء، وقالت: “بعد اسبوع من الآن لدي حلقة تدريب Stage لشهرين في برنامج Zero Robotics الذي أعدته (الناسا) وسأكون مساعدة ومشرفة على التلامذة في المدارس الاميركية، وسنقوم من خلال هذا البرنامج بإعداد مباريات في مجال البرمجة بين التلامذة للمرحلتين المتوسطة والثانوية، فضلا عن برامج للاقمار الصناعية يعرف عنه باسم Spheres، وهو عبارة عن أقمار صناعية موجودة في الفضاء حاليا، وتحديدا في “محطة الفضاء الدولية” International Space Station المعروفة اختصارا بـ ISS”. وأشارت إلى أن “ثمة ثلاثة أقمار صناعية تدور داخل المحطة التي تدور بدورها في الفضاء”، ولفتت إلى أن “المباراة بين التلامذة ستكون حول كيفية برمجة هذه الاقمار الصناعية، والبرنامج الذي يفوز سيتم تشغيله داخل المحطة عبر التواصل مع رواد الفضاء الموجودين هناك”. وقالت نصر: “أحضر حاليا للعمل في السنة المقبلة، لكن هذه المرة داخل (الناسا) كعمل تجريبي في سياق اختصاصي، وأتمنى أن يكون هذا العمل ممهدا لبناء صاروخ دفع نفاث، خصوصا وأنني أحظى بدعم وتقدير وهناك فرص كبيرة أمامي لكن المشكلة في عدم حصولي على الجنسية حتى الآن، لأن العمل في الناسا يتطلب شروطا مشددة من بينها الحصول على الجنسية وأتمنى أن أحصل عليها في السنوات الثلاث المقبلة”. ووجهت نصر عبر green area رسالة إلى شباب لبنان قائلة: “علينا كشباب أن نواجه تحدياتنا بالعلم وأن ننسى طوائفنا وانتماءاتنا السياسة الضيقة فالعالم بات أصغر من قرية ولا يمكننا إلا أن نكون متسلحين بالعلم لمواجهة تحديات الحاضر والمستقبل في البيئة والعلوم والاقتصاد والتنمية”.

Our cat Damien snuck out of our apartment in Canyon Meadows early on Saturday morning (around 230 am), and has been missing since. He is just over a year old, small, short haired, all black but for a small white patch on his chest. He is super friendly, very sweet. He is tattooed and has a microchip, so if found please either bring him to a vet so they can contact us, or contact me directly at 403.542.3487. We miss him very very much :( — in Calgary, Alberta.

I want to learn how to fly
I want to be respected
I want to get lucky
I want to get out of this dump
I just want to watch TV
I want to be loved
I want to be different
I want a brother and sister
I'd just rather be forgotten
I want to save the world
I want to be understood
I want to be rich
Man! I just want to be somebody
Julie's got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life don't come easy anymore
Still strugglin'on by herself
Got a picture of Jimmy
There on the shelf
And she looks at him and says
Why did we let it go?
I know that sometimes baby
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye?
Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven's door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can't
Turn back the future's here
To stay but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday
Jimmy still recalls the night
When he took his guitar
And headed on out
To find the time
That was his dream
He gave up his past
And made alright
But there's something missin'
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ain't what you need
He misses drivin' down
To the lake at night
Holdin' his baby
In his arms so tight
Ain't it hard to find illusions
When you're livin' in a memory
Just like prisoners in paradise
So close but yet so far
There will come a time
No matter who you are
When you ask yourself
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away.. But hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday
