I ran into my former professor at my favorite coffee shop at the most random and perfect time. If things coincide for a reason, I think this might've been proof. We got to sit down for a long chat about my decision to go to grad school or not. But besides that, she's an amazing woman, with an immense talent in so many creative areas. She's one of those friends/guides that always knows what to say, when to say it, and doesn't hold back to spare feelings.
We were at an agriculture show in Pretoria and I spotted this little girl. I couldn't resist and asked her mother if I could take a photo.
Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
XGLO fiber optic cable assemblies meet all Telcordia and ISO/IEC specifications for ferrule end face geometry – including radius of curvature, apex offset, and spherical
undercut. Compliance ensures minimum Return Loss,
thereby reducing back reflection of laser energy which could degrade transmission performance or damage transceivers
Where I had a close encounter of the buffalo kind!
A pigtail bridge is a type of road bridge, where the road curls and passes over itself. This allows the road to negotiate sharp changes in topography in limited space. Most pigtail bridges are found in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where they were first built.
The pigtail bridge design was invented in 1932 by Cecil Clyde Gideon, the self-taught superintendent of Custer State Park turned highway designer. He called them “spiral-jumpoffs”. During the planning for Iron Mountain Road, there was a need to negotiate sudden elevation drops while preserving natural features for this scenic highway; the corkscrew design allowed for a spectacular - although expensive - solution to this problem. In order to blend the bridges with their surroundings, natural materials such as local timber were used.
Most pigtail bridges were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.
Hubby's daughter sent this to me for my birthday. She said it reminded her of all my old childhood pictures posted on flickr.
Macaca nemestrina
Supposedly, pigtailed macaques are very aggressive. But this male, following a female with a baby, didn't even bother to look in our direction.
