Ian's nomination story
Although physically handicapped from an early age, Ian has never let this prevent him from pursuing his ambitions as a long distance runner. In order to compete in all the marathons that he has, he has to continue training even though he knows that he is likely to trip and fall many times. Alongside this, he works hard for his local running club and helps encourage the younger runners in their training as well as marshalling for local and national events. At work he is the epitome of selfless support, willing to help others for the benefit of the business whatever the personal cost - from staying late to making the multi bus journey into work at weekends to help resolve urgent issues. As a keen athlete, I know that Ian would also fully appreciate the honour of being the Olympic torchbearer.

Hassel Island’s layered history–1000-400BC prehistory, Taino settlement, British occupation, Danish occupation, multi-cultural farming and commercial settlements, US Naval occupation–physically intact.
At the time of ‘slipway’ construction, Hassel acreage was a peninsula of St. Thomas, forming an “orkanhullet,” or hurricane hole, for ships in busy Charlotte Amalie harbor. The protected slipway, called Careening Wharf by the Hazzel family in the early 1800s, joined the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company facilities, 3 coaling docks which accepted coal from the US for distribution, another working marine railway and a floating drydock in servicing vessels at this strategically placed and mostly neutral distribution center for European and US goods. At times the harbor side of the island was almost entirely ‘wharfed,’
The St Thomas Marine Repair facility was built according to a plan laid out by Mr. Matthew. It opened for commercial use in 1844. The original facility consisted of a steam-powered winch, repair shop, storage buildings, and a residence.
Inside building in this image is the winch and walking beam engine powering the winch, built in Hamburg by the Bolton Co. in the
1840s, are well preserved. Bolton’s cast iron steam engines were known for durability and silence. Still
on-site are the original wood fed boilers that drove the steam engine and the smokestack.

Based off of the sound mind, body, and soul concept, Serenity both graphically and physically displays its user’s “balance” throughout the day respectively via an e-ink / OLED combination display and with a unique moving flexible underside.
The device stores and sorts the user’s tasks and activities into the 3 main categories; the mind, body, and soul. The mind section contains any knowledge based activities (e-mail, messages, work schedules, appointments, etc.), the body section contains physical activities (exercise routines, diet plans, meal options etc.), and lastly, the soul section contains any spiritual based activities (entertainment, leisure activities, friends and family time, etc.). As the day progresses and the user completes, creates new, or misses tasks, Serenity represents the overall “balance” of the 3 categories. An all white display represents a perfect balance, whereas a gray to black shaded region represents a deficiency in that particular category, calling attention to it. In addition to the graphic display, Serenity’s unique flexible underside bulges out in desktop mode to create a “teeter-totter” where the device will physically tilt down in the direction of the deficient category.
Serenity is operated via a brilliant innovative circular touch-screen, and offers all of the standard calling, messaging, and mobile features expected from any modern device in addition to its unique balancing element. It also boasts a few surprise features including a massage function which makes use of the flexible moving underside to give an effective acupressure hand massage. Serenity creates a mobile experience designed to establish balance and harmony in its user’s active lifestyle.
“Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.”

Pushing themselves physically to get up this hill. The picture does not do the hill justice, but it continues on a slow, slight incline for miles...
Today was exhausting. Not even like physically exhausting, just the kind where from the second you get out of bed the only thing you want to do is get back in. My morning was rushed because I had to get to an art club meeting before school, which I was still late to anyways. Then because I had to turn stuff in for it I was late to my French class and I ended up without a partner so I get took look up shit about a castle all by myself. Wonderful. I sat listening to music and doing work because I was pissed off. Algebra 2 we had an assembly to talk about our class rings. I basically went through the rest of my day trying to figure out what I want to get. Chemistry was boring. We talked about converting moles to atoms. Lunch was weird because it was full of people and usually its just Aylah, the teacher and I. Art was boring. I spaced out a lot, tried to brain storm and BS'd in that class. Also (we'll call him K) didn't get president or vice president of Art Club and this makes me happy because he's turning out to be someone no one knows. Band was stupid. Macro was also stupid. English was eh. I was kinda annoyed because this one kid wasn't debating the right way, he was pissing people off. We left when it ended and Natalie and I like passed out on the bench because we were so tired. I'm tired of doing the same thing every damn day. I think every other quarter they should switch up your class times or something. I found my mood ring and im gonna wear it for a while so i get used to wearing a ring on that finger because I usually don't wear rings at all.

Quick update on the chow crew: I took Paint to the shelter Saturday (I may have mentioned this already), fully intending to stay with them and donate food, and pay some adoption fees of other dogs, but as they were physically DRAGGING Paint to the back the lady turned around to the asshole guy dragging her (heaven forbid some compassion for the dog who has never been on leash) and told him not to bother vaccinating her and that they would put her to sleep once her three day hold was up. I started freaking out, and left immediately calling my mother crying. We tried for the next few days to find a place to take them (as if we hadn't already been trying), but finally my mom went with me and we adopted Feather and Paint back and are just going to try and get some training in on them and continue looking for homes for them on our own. They had to spay the girls before we could get them back, and man were they shakey on their feet. Put them in the car and drove them out to where they would be staying. Poor girls. Paint was cross-eyed for quite a while.
Yesterday I only had a chance to go out and see them once. They are staying at an old customers house. Every year they go down to Florida at the start of Winter and don't come back to Tennessee until June. They gave us permission to put the girls in their garage until they come back home. The girls had no accidents through out the night and as soon as they were out Paint promptly peed (which got her a good girl, all though she was still inside the exercise pen). I bought them both martingale collars and chain leashes because Feather likes to try and chew on her leash. Paint has decided that being on leash isn't SO bad and is at least tolerating it. She's a lot more outgoing when Feather is with her. Feather still hates it and all though I've gotten her to go pee, she's gone two days without pooping, and she does NOT like going to the bathroom in the kennel. And I'm trying to keep that from happening. Unfortunately, where they are staying is twenty minutes away from my house, and I'm busy as hell with petsitting. Which even more unfortunately likes to be twenty minutes in the eact opposite direction of them. And I'm also trying to balance Brittany and Bello into the mix.
A few things on Paint. She showed her "anxiety" side today and was NOT fond of being seperated from Feather, who I had taken out of the kennel to go to the bathroom with out Paint. She was screaming so much I though for sure someone would call on us for abusing her. She started trying to jump the pen, so I had to put her in the kennel (inside the pen), and thought about closing the garage because she was going absolutely nuts. And her screaming just stressed out Feather who didn't end up going to the bathroom. Paint was going so nuts that dogs around the neighborhood started howling. I finally calmed her down by returning Feather back to her. >_> Awesome. She was also diagnosed with Heartworm. Even more awesome. A few places are estimating getting that treated at around 500 dollars. Luckily Feather does not have it. Though now I have the argument in my head of "should I treat it" or try and adopt her out (and of course tell them that she's got heartworm) and have someone else treat it. Because we are at the whole "I can't really afford FOUR dogs, and this is a reminder why I did not actually want her even though I thought I did." I've already spent 260 dollars on the pair (plus more for buying dog food) and that is with buying the absolute bare minimum. With Bello I remembered spending 500 dollars in that first month, not that I have any regrets about it, but when I beg for the countless dogs I do, I always expect a no, and I do it because it is fun to bug my mom (and dream). I know I can't afford these dogs. Brittany and Bello are my concerns. Keeping money in my account for THEM is more important than Feather and Paint. Which sucks to say. But is true none the less. And so I keep going back and forth on whether I should pay the money for her treatment...
Poor lonely Jinx is still living at the church and I don't think he really cares besides the lack of companions. He was putting some weight on his back leg which made me happy. He barks at me a lot now. I think the first day it was cussing me out. Now he does it wagging his tail and I think he is happy to see me. He still makes the smart decision to run from me before he realizes it is me.
On a "training" note: I'm rereading The Power of Positive Dog Training by Pat Miller and she has pointed out a few things that I remember I wanted to start threads on my dog forum sites, but then I decided I was too lazy to do that so I'll just rant here and you can comment at will.
1. Head halters for dogs. She was talking about how they are used as the better option in the positive reinforcement community rather than chokers, but either way they operate on the principle of negative reinforcment. I've never been a fan of them. I have one. But then again I also own chokers for both dogs (I'm not gonna lie, I like the "chain look," but I hook them up wrong). So for people that use them, why do you believe they are better than chokers (if you do). Bello sure as hell hated that Halti more than he hated the choker. He wags his tail at the choker (and I have used it "correctly" on him when I first got him and it. I hated how he got depressed looking so I knocked it off. He hates that Halti. And I did try and condition him to it. Not good enough. But, I never had to condition him to like a choker.
2. She keeps saying "for positive punishment to be effective it should stop the behavior in one of two tries." Now, I'm ALL for postive reinforcement and feel that if you are trying to do something, all methods of positive reinforcement should be exhausted first, BUT. How is that fair to expect punishment to work that way? That's like expecting positive reinforcement to work that quickly. We all know it won't. A lot more goes into it than that. You have to make sure that it cues are generalized well. But you can't do that with punishment? I dunno. I'll think on it.
3. I think I'm at the end. I'm getting tired. She was saying how licking was an "active submission" thing a ma jig. Well Bello licks. ALL THE TIME. Well okay. Only when I get home. Now according to her this is Bello acknowleding me as above him. Fantastic. To make this go away I ignore him. Fantastic. Except that isn't what it is. I wish I could remember books titles, but I was reading one where it was talking about how dogs have Jacobson Organs (I'm not looking this up to spell it correctly) just like cats, but cats you know they make that face that makes them look like they are disgusted, while dogs lick things to get it to theirs. And that's what Bello does. I will admit, some dogs do lick as submission. Not him. His is "smelling" because I always come home smelling like dogs. And he likes to smell each and everyone out. And he won't leave me the hell alone. And if I ignore him, GREAT. That's what he wants. Than I'm out of his way so he can do what he really wants to do. If I actively try and pet him while he's licking my clothing down, (quick flicks like a snake not long slurps) he dodges me.
Interstate 81 (I-81) is a north–south (physically northeast–southwest) Interstate Highway in the eastern part of the United States. Its southern terminus is at I-40 in Dandridge, Tennessee; its northern terminus is on Wellesley Island at the Canadian border, where the Thousand Islands Bridge connects it to Highway 401, the main Ontario freeway connecting Detroit via Toronto to Montreal. The major metropolitan areas that I-81 connects to include Harrisburg and the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania and Syracuse in New York.
I-81 largely traces the paths created down the length of the Appalachian Mountains by migrating animals, American Indians, and early settlers. It also follows a major corridor for troop movements during the Civil War.[2] These trails and roadways gradually evolved into U.S. Route 11 (US 11); I-81 parallels much of the older US 11.[3] Being mostly rural, it is heavily used as a trucking corridor, and is often used as a bypass of the busier I-95 and I-85 to the east.
The Interstate 81 Corridor Coalition, a six-state coalition, was organized to handle issues along I-81, such as truck traffic and air pollution; the commission meets annually. I-81 is part of the fastest route between the capital of the United States (Washington, D.C.) and the capital of Canada (Ottawa).

Training golden eagles to hunt is physically and mentally demanding. Young Nurguli needs all her strength and a great deal of focus to call her eagle to come to her from a perch at the top of the hill and to land on her gloved arm. The powerful bird nearly knocks Nurguli over as it comes into land. You need to keep your bare skin well away from raptor beaks and claws: many an eagle hunter – including one of Nurguli’s uncles – bears the scars of eagle handling gone wrong!

Being mostly rural, it is heavily used as a trucking corridor, and is often used as a bypass of busier Interstates to the east such as I-95. For this reason, it is also used heavily by drug and human traffickers, as it is less monitored by law enforcement than the I-95. This led to the FBI forming a task force to combat the issue in 2017.

Physically resembling the wild boar, to which it is remarkably closely related, the Sicilian Black Swine of Sicily's Nebrodi Mountains enjoys the oak forests of what is considered by many to be the island's most scenic region. Known locally as the "suino nero dei Nebrodi," it has a prominent ridge of spinal bristles running from its large head to about midway along its back and stands about 70 centimetres (27 inches) high. Suids, or suidae (pigs and boars), form the genus sus.The very existence of the breed is an arcane fact of agricultural life in northeastern Sicily, the only part of the island which still has expansive forests. The swine are allowed to graze and forage over wide areas, including woods, and this diet influences the meat's flavour. It also means that the pigs are sometimes mistaken for wild boar, few of which exist in Sicily today.
Detto anche Suino Nero dei Nebrodi o Nero delle Madonie. Razza autoctona siciliana di origini antichissime. Suini rustici, di colore nero,selvatici, allevati nelle zone boscose, sono presenti in Sicilia fin dai tempi più lontani. Resti fossili e antichi documenti scritti testimoniano la presenza di questi animali fin dal periodo greco e cartaginese (VII-VI secolo a.C.). Questa razze è arrivata fino ai giorni nostri, con una diffusione in tutta l'isola ma con una maggiore presenza sui Monti Nebrodi.Già ai primi del Novecento c'era solo il ricordo dei grandi branchi di suini al pascolo e il Suino Nero era di solito allevato in gruppi di 10-15 animali. Negli ultimi anni c'è stata una decisa ripresa dell'allevamento di questa razza, sulla quale sono stati effettuati diversi studi mirati in modo particolare alla valorizzazione delle sue produzioni. Il Nero Siciliano è attualmente una razza ufficialmente riconosciuta e dotata di Registro anagrafico, gestito dall'Associazione Nazionale Allevatori Suini (ANAS). I soggetti iscritti al Registro anagrafico alla fine del 2007 erano 1.223 (40 verri, 153 scrofe e 1.030 allievi). Razza precoce e longeva, è caratterizzata da una interessante fertilità e vivinatalità (elevato numero di suinetti portati allo svezzamento). Resistente alle malattie, capace di valorizzare alimenti anche poveri e molto resistente alle avversità climatiche. Le sue carni sono utilizzate sia allo stato fresco che insaccate, ottenendo prodotti di alta qualità.
Swathes of forest, unbounded views of astounding beauty, gentle-giant mountains, pure unpolluted air, limpid lakes, age-old villages, deep fertile valleys, undisturbed peace and quiet.....In 1993 the Nebrodi National Park was instituted and, with a surface area of just over 85,000 hectares, it is the largest in Sicily. The variety of fauna is vast and alongside the more common animals such as wild cats, foxes, porcupines and hares there are even a couple of indigenous species: the San Fratello horse and the Nebrodian black pig. The meat of this latter is a highly prized ingredient in the area’s cuisine and it is also used for making hams and salamis. The famous salame di Sant’Angelo di Brodo is one purchase you might like to make. Flora is equally varied. On the lower slopes myrtle, lentisk, cork trees and holm oaks dominate, while higher up oak woods and beech forests cover the peaks.The highest mountain, at 1847 meters, is Monte Soro. The views from here are simply breath-taking: Mount Etna with its plume of smoke to the south-east, the Aeolian Islands emerge from the Tyrrhenian to the north and the Madonie Mountains continue the Sicilian Apennines to the west. While the peaks in the Nebrodi Park are not as high as those of its neighbours, the presence of several wonderful lakes adds a certain variety to the landscape. Of these, Lago Biviere and Lago Ancipa are well worth a visit, the latter also thanks to its stunning views of Mount Etna framed in a natural paradise. Good walking and mountain-biking opportunities abound.Many of the towns originated with the arrival of Byzantine Greeks in the 4th and 5th Centuries AD and remains of Byzantine monasteries and churches can be found dotted around the area. Some of the most important centres are Mistretta, Troina and Nicosia, though many smaller villages, such as San Marco d’Annunzio, San Salvatore di Fitalia, Floresta and San Fratello are worth visiting. This last, in particular, is home to the lovely Convento di San Francesco, complete with cloisters, and a Norman church dating back to the 11th Century.To get the most out of the Nebrodi one has to explore, follow one’s nose and take chances. An unassuming-looking path might lead to a beautiful wood or lake, a seemingly normal village might hide a fantastic church or a wonderful trattoria and the humblest of food shops might sell mouth-watering local delicacies.
Istituito nel 1993 ricomprende le più importanti ed estese formazioni boschive presenti in Sicilia (ca 50.000 ha). Le specie arboree più significative sono rappresentate da Fagus sylvatica (all'estremo limite meridionale dell'areale di diffusione), da Quercus cerris, da Quercus suber. Sono anche presenti singolari formazioni a Quercus ilex, a Taxus baccata, a Ilex aquifolium e importanti ambienti lacustri e rupestri. Ricca la fauna sia vertebrata che invertebrata.
Being physically immersed in the natural environment allows one to become aware of their feelings and surroundings, providing a sense of perspective from the daily demands. My research explores the experiences of the working age population based within the central belt, exploring their interactions in the natural environment, and examining how their physical immersion impacts upon wellbeing. Through semi-structured walking interviews and recording activities, seven individuals discuss their experiences and understanding of the natural environment, and consider how this interaction can be accommodated within with the lifestyles of the working age population to improve wellbeing.
Through the act of walking in the natural environment, the senses are distracted, influenced by the ephemeral - climatic and seasonal conditions as well as the constantly changing physical landscape. A sense of place is experienced by drawing on past landscape encounters, building rich layers of meaning, further enhancing our connection.
The written research is accompanied by a series of collaborative collages in which participants have photographed, drawn and collected elements of interest found in the natural environment. This is supported by additional frottage, print, photography and video works highlighting the attraction and diversity of the selected environments.

Captain Ahab Length:
4.3 miles (one-way)
Difficulty:
Physically demanding, technical, for expert riders. Bottom half of the trail is one-way. The trail is not all downhill. Even though the trail starts at an elevation of about 4700 ft and ends at about 4000 ft, you will still have to climb about 1000 ft in order to descend more than 1600 ft. Average grade about 11%. Trail is along cliff edges in places and has a plethora of technical challenges.
Type of Ride:
You must ride up the Cliff Hanger jeep road about 2 miles to gain access to the start of Ahab (~700 ft climb). You can start at the mid-point of Ahab by turning left after 1.7 miles on the road. The ride is on slickrock, ledges, dirt veneer of the Kayenta Formation and offers grand views of Behind The Rocks and the La Sal Mountains.
Stephan's Quintet is a group of five galaxies, set to the right side of this image. Those galaxies that are actually physically related within the cluster (at least three and probably four of the galaxies in the tight grouping) have been "dancing" for several billion years and they show considerable distortion (zoom in or look at the separately processed image). The galaxies will probably merge in the next 5 or so billion years.
Three of the galaxies are part of a true galactic cluster, while at least one of the other two is only coincidentally in the line of sight. In addition to the five galaxies in the group (two are intertwined and essentially look like one), there are several other galaxies in this image.
The largest galaxy, right of center is NGC 7320, located about 50 million light years away. Directly above it is NGC 7219, located about 135 million light years away. The two intertwined galaxies to the upper right of NGC 7230 are designated NGC 7318A and 7318B. NGC 7318A is about 285 million light years away, while the close NGC 7318B is only 245 million light years away. If you zoom in, you can see considerable detail in the distorted spirals, a relict of heavy interaction between the two galaxies when they were closer than they are currently.
The fifth of the Quintet is starlike, and is the lower-left member of the pair of equally bright stars to the lower right of the other four. NGC 7317 is also about 275 million light years distant.
To the upper left of NGC 7320, and further away visually, is the fainter galaxy NGC 7320C, also located about 250 million light years away -- also part of the physical galactic cluster.
Near the bright star near the left border, slightly below center, is the clear spiral LEDA 141041, another member of the physical cluster at about 260 million light years.
Harder to detect, about halway between NGC 7320 and LEDA 141041 (slightly closer to NGC 7320) is PGC 692246, for which I have no estimated distance.

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that).

Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).

The closet of the garderobe, or wardrobe was possibly originally a secure cupboard in a personal chamber and it could have attracted the name of privy before the structure of a latrine was physically set in place in toilet rooms that may have held valuables and so held on to the names attached to the private wardrobes. These once secure rooms often off bed chambers still exist in castles with chutes offering instant extraction of expulsions into moats and cesspits. The survival of such private limited toilet facilities might leave the mind to ponder further in fertile contemplation of the needs of the many when the castle was full to the rafters for feasting and pressed up to the door jambs for withstanding sieges. The student of such vital areas in life will soon find the Tudor term of Gong farmer, gongfermor, gongfermour, gong-fayer, gong-fower, or gong scourer. Gong became a term for the privy, it’s contents and much of anything attached to it.
Whilst taking these pictures of the garderobe I was looking at the marks in the stones that reveal the presence of the now absent fixtures and fittings. Fortunately for all approaching the whole facility including the constantly awaiting dramatic drop I can leave a review that it was gong free. Continuing the review I can state the now bare stone garderobe was very windy fresh which made for considerations that this particular toilet was a well appointed vital part of the castle as it seems set in place to service the needs of captives secure in dungeon residence with all their functions of life met to adequately preserve them as hostage for ransom and as prisoner for trial. The fate and fortune of many was too lowly a consideration for incarceration and so this toilet was used by some that would consider themselves fortunate even if higher ranking prisoners were maintained in higher status lodgings and higher altitude accommodation literally above the levels of these dungeon bound prisoners, or secure guests of the castle.
I realise that my station in life then would have been lucky to have farmed gongs and tilled the soil manning the needs of those fortunates above whose fertile grace would favour me below. My ability now to take in tourism and to photograph and research the progression of the garderobe in language through changing use of secure space to toilet place is a turn of good fortune that I should praise fate for. My review ends with a very happy to be here statement to indicate that taking in the toilet scenery and imagining the absent fittings, studying a little something of the maintenance and presenting this illustrated offering is fulfilling my life with great glad cheer.
There is much more to explore at Tantallon Castle than the garderobes, there are several and they are attached to truly fantastic ruins that form a splendid prospect for any tourist. In editing the pictures I created dark shadow filled versions that have not made it out of a local folder on a none shared hard drive. The versions that gave a nod towards the stone structure ready for use without the wooden fittings during penetrating cold sea fog atmospheric conditions have made it out of the safe haven of the hard drive into the wide world of wonders that is the internet.

I am physically stronger than most men aged 20. I take fine swings on telemark skis, I roll with my kayak, I climb rock walls, and I do many pullups. And I envision many more years of working in my job. But I have Parkinson's and I am constantly reminded of it. And I am anxious about what will happen to my body in the coming years. My mood changes fast. Sometimes I take to tears for no reason, which is not easy for others to experience. I am emotionally incontinent.
Diagnose: Parkinsons sykdom 2013
Kroppslig er jeg sterkere enn de fleste på 20. Tar fine svinger på telemarkski, ruller med kajakk, klatrer og tar mange kroppshevinger. Og jeg ser for meg mange år i jobben. Men jeg har parkinson og minnes stadig om det, og er spent på hva som vil skje med kroppen i årene som kommer. Sinnsstemningen svinger fort. Det hender jeg tar til tårene uten grunn, noe som ikke alltid er så lett for andre å oppleve. Jeg er emosjonelt inkontinent.
School punishments - Since ancient times it was customary to chastise children in case of non-compliance with the disciplinary rules in the school physically the teacher to the early 20th Century being granted the same right of chatisement as the parents. However, there have been since the Middle Ages voices, such as Walther von der Vogelweide, who says: " Nobody can be brought with rod blows to good behavior, a good word is like a blow ...". However, the rod remains throughout the Middle Ages and until recently the symbol of the teaching profession, with it pupils were beaten partly on the back, the buttocks or the fingers. In medieval schoolrooms it hung always visible as a reminder to the students on the wall. Also, the "Nachbleiben" (being kept in after school) and the confinement after school (detention) are sentences that were used in the Middle Ages particularly with regard to disruptive students, in addition to that, often came significant fines, for example, if a student was caught red-handed with a woman in the Burse, the dormitory.
It was only later as more corporal punishments emerged, be it kneeling on the floor, sometimes exacerbated by small woods or peas, sitting on the donkey bank, which was modeled on the shape of a donkey, or even wearing a donkey hat with long ears to point out the Lernunwillen (unwillingness to learn) of the student.
School punishments were to the early 20th Century in use, since the 19th Century they were, however, already strictly regulated, as it is said in a school regulation of 1907.: "School punishments should never cause some kind of health impairment. Corporal punishment (on the hand, in boys on the buttocks, never blows to the head, the ears, the back of the knee or abdomen) should only take place with moral errors, malice or rudeness, never in case of default. Impositions must be limited as far as possible, the time-consuming, mind-numbing, mechanical copying is decidedly to disapprove. The keeping in after school makes only sense if there's sufficient supervision, exposing (corner stand) shall be limited to a few minutes".
Since 1918 in Austria all school punishments are prohibited that aim to corporal punishment, its place have taken disciplinary measures.
We came across this excellent street theater performance in Marseille at 8:30 in the morning. It involved physically squeezing bodies into unexpected urban nooks and crannies, we ran through the streets curiously following the troupe, looking for the next hidden performer, a great adventure and a fantastic new way of looking at the city. More photos to follow.
The production is the concept of Cie W Dorner for more click here
During yesterday’s skin cancer surgery, they peeled back inches of the skin on my forehead. When I awoke this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and became physically ill (more ill than normal when I look at myself in the mirror). The dozens of stitches to sew up my forehead reminded me of Frankenstein’s Monster. The way my entire left upper and lower left eyelids were black and swollen around my eye reminded me of Phantom of the Opera.
I knew there was only one thing that could make me feel better about my bloody, stitched up, and blackened/swollen face — A big crock of chili! Real chili, that is. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to soak a bag of beans overnight and I don’t used beans out of a can because they taste like can. So, technically, I couldn’t actually make real chili without beans. Everyone knows when you call something “chili” that lacks beans, it’s a crime against humanity and an unpardonable sin before God.
Therefore, I decided I could make “Faux Chili.” That is, chili without beans. I took a large carbon steel skillet, fired it up over a gas burner for a good 15 minutes and seared a couple of pounds of beef top round chunks until they were nice and caramelized on all sides. Dumped it in the large crockpot with a box of beef stock.
Then, I diced up an obscenely large onion along with two good-sized bell peppers (traditional vegetables in chili). I blackened them in the hellishly hot carbon steel skillet and into the crock they went followed by diced garlic, cumin, Mexican red chili powder, a can of Italian diced tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, freshly cracked black pepper, and three tablespoons of sugar. I had two good sized tomatoes grown down the street from me so I diced them up and threw them in as well.
After about five hours in the crock on high, I tasted a spoonful. The faux chili broth was perfect. The chunks of top round beef were so tender you could push one in the spoon with a finger and it would fall apart. Had it not been for the sad lack of chili beans, this would have been the perfect country western chili that Lyle Lovett could have written a song about.
I filled up a bowl with the non-chili. Then I took a handful of shredded cheese and spread it out over the surface. I melted and browned that under the oven broiler. Then I took a healthy dollop of sour cream, threw that on the melted cheese and sprinkled it with a sensible portion of cayenne pepper. I screwed up and didn’t reserve any of the raw onion for garnish, so I chopped up a Florida avocado and used that instead. It was delicious!
As with legitimate chili that has beans, this faux chili will taste even better tomorrow.
That is all.
