A crane lowers girder No. 2 at 84th Avenue Northeast.
The busiest construction weekend yet saw crews tackle installation of girders and concrete deck panels at four overpasses along the State Route 520 corridor from Feb. 24-27, 2012. All lanes of the highway were closed so crews could move more than 4 million pounds of massive concrete girders for new lidded overpasses above the highway at Bellevue Way Northeast and 84th Avenue Northeast. Concrete deck panels were installed at Evergreen Point Road and 92nd Avenue Northeast during a chilly weekend that saw heavy rain, hailstorms and plummeting temperatures.
Not a particularly good shot, but one that shows the regular position of the Metropolitan Scanias in Bradford. Hardly a trip in to Bradford went by without seeing one of these at the side of the road.
This is an early GPS - Global Positioning System. It is an Octant or Hadley Quadrant.
"The Octant or Hadley Quadrant, also known as a reflecting quadrant, had a small mirror or mirrors which allowed the alignment of a reflected image of the sun or a star with the horizon. It was easier to handle than the David Quadrant and was therefore less prone to error. Patented in 1734 by John Hadley (1682 - 1744), an astronomer and mathematician who relied on a concept of Sir Isaac Newton's, the Hadley Quadrant was adopted by most British Navigators. "

I try to exclusively use file folders that are right-justified tabbed only.
Inspired by a small comment discussion on a emdot blog post about my Getting Things Done fetish, er, I mean, focus. I was telling Bean and KB how I only use right-sided file folders and only one file folder per hanging file.
Sometimes I run out of right-hand tabs and have to use middle or left. Don't think that doesn't hurt me inside. :)
You can also see where a couple of tabs are hand labeled. Here's my trick. Well, first of all, I LOVE MY LABEL MAKER. And secondly, when I don't use a label maker, I use this trick: I label with a post-it note, sticky side at the top. That way, if it is just for something that needs to be temporarily kept, I can easily reuse the folder without having to rip off a label.
I'm a Virgo, by the way.
I know this makes me look like a nerd. Wait. Maybe a better way to word that would be, I know I'm a nerd. :) But this week I am embracing my nerdlieness. :)
Ahead of the EU-US summit on 20 November, MEPs agreed their recommendations on positions the Council should take regarding key transatlantic issues such as economic co-operation, personal data protection, the introduction of a US travel fee and recent leaks of US classified military documents on Iraq.
The state of EU-US trade relations amid the economic crisis is a key issue for MEPs with a view to the next meeting of the Transatlantic Economic Council. Parliament restates its support for a barrier-free transatlantic market by 2015 but voices concern about differing rules on novel foods, genetically modified products and animal cloning, and stresses the need for US authorities to accept metric-only labelling of EU products.
The adoption of a joint EU-US action strategy for the protection of intellectual property rights, including negotiations on an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), is another important demand of the resolution, which was adopted by show of hands.
MEPs debate upcoming EU-US summit with Commissioners Viviane Reding and Karel De Gucht. EU governments were represented by Stefaan De Clerck of the Belgian government (below).

The swan family in the park of Le Vésinet, 20 km to the West of Paris, France, is still doing well. Here the mother had managed to place one of her legs in a strange position.
Maner enjoys position of one of the chief spiritual centers in India. Maner Sharif houses two very popular Muslim tombs:
One of Makhdoom Yahya Maneri known as the Bari Dargah.
Another of Shah Daulat or Makhdum Daulat, popularly called Chhoti Dargah.
Constructed by Ibrahim Khan ( the Mughal governor of Bihar under Jahangir.) in 1619.Emperor Jahangir added gateway on the north of the mausoleum and the three-bay mosque on the west in the later years. To the south there is a vast water tank, or baoli.
منیر شریف
It is one of two main centers of the Kubrawiya-Firdausiya sect in India, the other being Biharsharif. Bari Dargah stands within a walled garden on top of a mound that according to some archaeologists conceals an old Buddhist site. It also has a small mosque dating back thirteenth century with the graves of Shaikh Maneri’s disciples and descendants.
Badi Dargah:-
A great dome crowns it, and the ceiling is covered with carved inscriptions from the Quran. Every detail of it is characteristic of the architecture of Jehangir's region, and it is by far the finest monument of the Mughals in Eastern India.
The well known grammarian Panini (Vedic Ancient Sanskrit) as well as Bararuchi were the residents of Maner Sharif of Bihar where they have completed their studies.

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)
During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.
SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.
For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.
SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.
The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.
ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.
ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.
The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.
ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.
ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.
* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.
Netball Round 7 2010
22/05/2010 Filed in: Netball | 2010
A Grade
First met last in round 7 of the 2010 CHNL. Hepburn sitting on top of the ladder faced a determined bottom of the ladder Gordon. With Kristina Closhey still out injured, the Burras felt prepared with their squad to take the court. Taking first centre pass, Hepburn took one single pass into goals from the Wing Attack where Gordon’s defenders turned the ball over and scored the first goal to take the lead. This seemed to stun the Burra’s for a few minutes as they quickly tried to settle into their game.
Hepburn’s experience in defence settled first and the game started to flow along at the pace the Burras were working too. Jane and Libby in goals shooting at 95% in the first quarter had Hepburn holding a 14 to 3 lead. A very determined Gordon started the second in fine form once again rattling Hepburn’s game plans at the start. Hannah Cameron-Taylor who was injured in warm up came on court at Goal Defence in the second half and helped drive the ball through the centre in attack. Jane Lienhop at Goal Shooter with the help of Libby Purtell at Goal Attack, managed to out move her defender and offer herself time and time again to miss only 2 of her 27 goals in the last half. Hepburn’s coach praised Gordon for their tenacious game.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 56 defeated GORDON 11
Goals: Jane – 85% 41/48, Libby – 78% 18/23
The Mo Shepherd award went to Captain Libby Purtell for outstanding work in attack.
B Grade
200th gamer Kristi Pedretti saw her undefeated team into round 7. Hepburn’s reserves were well prepared after a week of solid training. Focussing only on their game plan, the Burras shot to the lead in minutes. Hepburn’s strong mid court from Wing Defence to Wing Attack quickly dominated their opponents and took control of the ball. Outstanding attacking support in goals by Tania Grant at Goal Attack helped sharp shooter Mel Penny take them to a 17 to 4 lead at the first break.
Only one change bringing Courtney Wetzel on as Goal Keeper in the second and Hepburn continued to control the ball. Janee Brown’s speed in Centre backed up with Naomi Uwland at Wing Attack consistently rattled Gordon’s mid court defence. Supported by Mel Brown in Goal Defence and the quick hands of Caitlan Ryan at Wing Defence, Hepburn’s attacking line up became sharper and more direct.
Tania Grant stepped up again and offered herself more. With more options for the centre court feeding, the Burra’s goalers were relentless with their offers and attempts. The game continued at a fast pace with Hepburn refusing to slow down. Calm and controlled, the teams confidence grew through the match. An outstanding 2 quarters at Goal Keeper for Coutrney Wetzel kept her opponent scoreless.
Final scores HEPBURN 62 defeated GORDON 11
Goals: Mel Penny – 72% 44/61, Tania Grant – 57% 17/29, Courteny Wetzel – 25% 1/4
The Cutting Studio Award went to Janee Brown and Mo Shepherd award to Tania Grant for outstanding work in attack.
Tania and Janee would like to thank their supporters, Red Bull.
C Grade
Hepburn’s C grade had an outstanding win in round 7. Lead by Cam Nolan in Centre, the Burras managed to quickly settle into the game and take control. 16 year old Ange Giacometti at Goal Attack was brilliant again. Her height, attacking speed and accuracy in goals leaves her opponents behind. Shooting 22 to 0 in the 1st backed up by Lisa Elleton at Goal Shooter.
After a solid training this week, Hepburn were confident with their abilities. They rotated the bench and achieved results ever time. Alyson, Desi, Maddy & Tash also controlled the defence and prevented Gordon from scoring for most of the game. Hepburn had their best result for the season with a strong 67 to 6 victory.
Mo Shepherd award went to Cam Nolan for outstanding work in attack and defence.

This photo appeared in the University News Vol 7 No 3 19 March 1981. The text was:
"Vice-Chancellor's review of present position of the University
At the request of Council, the Vice-Chancellor submitted to its February meeting a report reviewing the University’s experiences in 1980 and outlining possible problems it might face and directions it might take this year. He submitted that we have a long way to go towards persuading the public and, through public opinion, the politicians that what we are doing is of long-term importance to the country and worthy of a more appropriate slice of the national cake.
No other concern or issue facing us approaches this in its seriousness or importance and to date we have been notably unsuccessful in reversing the trends of recent years. Just as the prolonged drought was beginning to make serious inroads in the physical condition of the campus, so also will a prolonged financial drought damage the academic health of the institution, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Don George, said.
“Part of a university’s problem may be our reluctance to acknowledge our privileged position and our self-interest, at the same time as pointing to the contributions we make to national objectives and economic strength (and defending our traditional and often unpopular role as a critic of society)”.
Professor George said there was no doubt as to the concern of the Universities Council over our reducing student enrolments and the difficultly this presented to it in maintaining the recurrent grant, which, per student enrolled was, and on our arguments would need to remain, well above the national average. The visiting members of the Council did not appear to share our view of the impact that planned Hunter Valley developments would play on our future enrolments.
In a highly competitive climate for students, we could expect the larger metropolitan universities to continue to archive target figures. He could foresee on way in which to restraints could effectively prevent Hunter Valley students gravitating to Sydney in the short term, although given time and increased recognition of our academic standards the phenomenon should ease.
“The effect on student enrolments of State Government policies in respect of teacher education scholarships is well-known”, Professor George said. “However, probably less well-known is the decline in general financial support for students.
Tea allowance were increased in the 1980 budget by 10 per cent but had remained effectively constant for previous three years, despite high inflation rates. Professor Sir Bruce Williams is on record with the statistic that between 1975 and 1979 the number of assisted first-degree students fell by one-third”.
In the postgraduate student area, the 1980 budget had provided in increased living allowance from $4,200 p.a. to $4,620 p.a. and increases in dependent spouse and child allowances again after no changes since 1978 other than the adverse one of making them subject to income tax from 1979. These grants were totally inadequate to attract sufficient numbers of highly-motivated research apprentices to the universities for the rigours of postgraduate training and that as a country we will pay a high price for such short-sightedness.
“One measure of the quality and relevance of the research being undertaken by the University”, he said. “Is the extent to which academic staff are able to win research funding from outside the normal recurrent and special research grants to the University.
“In 1980, external research grants totalled $1,373,222 and involved 11B grantees from 28 separate sources. This represents an increase of 30 per cent over a similar listing of external grants for 1979 ($1,065,285). Taken in conjunction with TURA’s own specialised and growing role in contract research, the picture is one which should generally reassure us”.
The Vice-Chancellor stressed that he saw as major issue for this year:
•The trend in student enrolments
•The implications for us of the TEC reports, in particular the governments ensuing financial guidelines.
•The maintenance of external research funding as buffer against reducing recurrent funding (in real time).
•The resolution of the present industrial issues.
•The decisions to be taken in respect of the Review of University Government.
Professor George said, unpalatable and damaging as the strict controls over expenditure had been the outcome of applying the brakes had been to effectively balance the 1980 budget and even slightly reduce the cumulative deficit in general recurrent funds of $92,700 at the end of 1979.
With the first medical graduations due in two years’ time and Medical Faculty recruitment virtually complete, it would be timely to assess the profound impact the Medical Faculty had on the University and the community. The Faculty had gained a mention in a recent newspaper article on the “top seats of learning” in New South Wales – “it is considered the best by many people in the medical professions, because of its innovative approach to teaching”.
The grafting of a medical school into a small university like Newcastle was bound to pose severe problems, although he viewed the exercise overall as having been remarkably successful. Negotiations with hospitals and outside bodies had consumed vast amounts of energy and time and still required final resolution in certain aspects.
The year 1981 could see major difficulties in several areas over which we exerted little control. As two examples he mentioned the Copyright Amendment Act 1980 and the proposed legislation to control the use of animals in research.
In conclusion, the Vice-Chancellor said the ultimate nature of a university was determined by the quality of the staff and students it could attract, and its unwavering commitment to excellence. He remained confident that we had sufficient talent “on board” to carry us into a successful and promising future.

Marche contre Monsanto 2013 www.combat-monsanto.org
___________________________________________________
Le 12 octobre 2013, les citoyens du monde entier, dans une cinquantaine de pays et plus de 30 villes françaises, marcheront à nouveau contre Monsanto et consorts (Bayer, Syngenta, les multinationales des OGM et des pesticides). Toutes et tous dans la rue pour condamner ce modèle agricole accro à la chimie et aux manipulations du vivant, imposé au détriment des peuples et des paysans qui les nourrissent !
Lancées de façon autogérée par des citoyens soucieux de s’engager, ou par des militants associatifs locaux, ces marches sont des événements ouverts, sur un positionnement 100% citoyen, sans étiquette politique.
Nos revendications
Assez d’empoisonnement ! En mars 2015, le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé classait le Roundup de Monsanto, l’herbicide le plus vendu au monde et indissociable de la culture des OGM, comme « probablement cancérogène ». Nous exigeons la prise en compte des études indépendantes sur les conséquences toxiques des OGM, pesticides et hormones de croissance, sur notre santé et sur l’environnement, ainsi que l’attribution de budgets publics permettant l’indépendance totale de la recherche sur ces sujets. Nous réclamons le retrait immédiat des produits toxiques abusivement présents sur le marché, pour agriculteurs ou jardiniers, et plus particulièrement le Roundup et les néonicotinoïdes tueurs d’abeilles.
OGM et Tafta, même combat ! Nous affirmerons notre opposition au projet de Grand marché transatlantique (TAFTA ou TTIP), cheval de Troie des multinationales de l’agrobusiness pour imposer les OGM et réduire toujours davantage les normes sanitaires destinées à protéger la santé des consommateurs. Demain, avec le TAFTA, des entreprises comme Monsanto pourraient attaquer les moratoires des États opposés à la culture des OGM devant des tribunaux d’arbitrage privés, et réclamer des indemnités de plusieurs millions puisées dans les deniers publics.
Réapproprions-nous les biens communs, contre les intérêts privés d’une minorité ! Nous exigeons la cessation immédiate des brevets sur les semences et le vivant, régulièrement entachés de biopiraterie, et la liberté d’usage des semences de ferme, ainsi que leur échange entre jardiniers amateurs, car il est inacceptable que des entreprises privées aient la mainmise sur une diversité génétique qui appartient à toute l’humanité, qui est le fruit d’un savoir-faire millénaire, et qui constitue la source de toute alimentation humaine. Il est inadmissible que dans de nombreux pays, particulièrement du Sud, les « lois semencières » dictées par les multinationales menacent la souveraineté alimentaire et criminalisent, comme de vulgaires voleurs, les paysans et paysannes qui produisent et échangent des semences traditionnelles.
Une alimentation saine pour tous ! Nous dénonçons la dérive des fermes-usines où des animaux sont parqués dans des cages pour être gavés d’OGM, sans qu’aucun étiquetage sur la viande n’éclaire le choix du consommateur. Le 23 mai nous manifesterons notre volonté d’une agriculture écologique, relocalisée, respectueuse des travailleurs agricoles comme des écosystèmes, et d’une alimentation capable de garantir notre santé et celle de nos enfants. L’agriculture biologique, sans OGM ni pesticides toxiques, respectant les équilibres climatiques, ne doit pas devenir une niche commerciale réservée à un public averti ou privilégié, mais bien la solution pour offrir une alimentation saine pour TOUS. Une première étape serait le passage de toutes les cantines scolaires et restaurants collectifs à des menus « 100 % bio » afin de soutenir les transitions d’agriculteurs désireux de faire évoluer leurs pratiques.

Le Sommet des Consciences pour le climat : www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yukt6
Lancé par Nicolas Hulot, envoyé spécial du président de la République pour la protection de la planète, le Sommet des Consciences réunit le 21 juillet 2015 à Paris, au CESE plus d'une quarantaine personnalités morales et religieuses du monde entier pour répondre à la question « The climate, why do I care ? » et lancer ensemble un « Appel des Consciences pour le climat ».
Une mobilisation des consciences de tous le habitants de la planète s’impose pour réussir le défi auquel l’humanité est confrontée : limiter le réchauffement du climat en diminuant sa consommation d’énergies fossiles et permettre à tous de s’adapter aux conditions nouvelles !
Le Temps est compté. Ce n’est plus seulement une question écologique, économique ou politique. C’est l’avenir de l’humanité qui est en jeu. Chacun de nous se doit de répondre maintenant à la question : est-ce qu’il m’importe que l’aventure de l’humanité sur Terre puisse se poursuivre ? Est-ce que je suis prêt à modifier dès aujourd’hui mon mode de vie pour que nos enfants et leurs enfants puissent vivre dans des conditions supportables ?
L'Appel des consciences
Il est fondamental que les consciences des hommes et des femmes de cette planète s'expriment ensemble, quelques soient leurs conditions, leurs religions, leurs philosophies.
La campagne "Why do I care ?" invite chacun à témoigner, et à faire savoir autour de lui, pourquoi la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique est importante et nous concerne chacun.

Plaidoyer d'un homme libre
« Les sommets sur le climat se succèdent, nous croulons sous l'avalanche de rapports plus alarmants les uns que les autres. Et l'on se rassure avec une multitude de déclarations d'intention et de bonnes résolutions. Si la prise de conscience progresse, sa traduction concrète reste dérisoire. L'humanité doit se ressaisir, sortir de son indifférence et faire naître un monde qui prend enfin soin de lui. »
Nicolas Hulot, Président de la Fondation Nicolas Hulot pour la Nature et l'Homme
Ce manifeste écrit par Nicolas Hulot est un cri du coeur, un plaidoyer pour l'action, un ultime appel à la mobilisation et un coup de poing sur la table des négociations climat avant le grand rendez-vous de la COP21. Il engage chacun à apporter sa contribution dans l'écriture d'un nouveau chapitre de l'aventure humaine, à nous changer nous mêmes et par ce biais à changer le monde.
Diagnostic implacable, constat lucide mais surtout propositions concrètes pour les responsables politiques et pistes d'action accessibles pour chacun d'entre nous, cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de son engagement et de sa vision en toute liberté des solutions à « prescrire » avant et après la COP21. L'urgence est à l'action. En 12 propositions concrètes, Nicolas Hulot dresse, avec sa Fondation, une feuille de route alternative pour les États et suggère 10 engagements individuels pour que chacun puisse également faire bouger les lignes à son niveau.
Depuis 40 ans, Nicolas Hulot parcourt la planète. Témoin de sa lente destruction, il a décidé de devenir un des acteurs de sa reconstruction. Au côté de sa Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme ou en parlant aux oreilles des décideurs, il contribue à faire évoluer les mentalités.

Strobist Lighting 102 1.2: Position/Distance
Camera settings were kept constant: f5, 1/200 sec, ISO200.
Flash: LumoPro160 at camera right, approx 120 degrees.
Subject was 1.2m (4 feet) away from the background.
Top image: Flash at 1/2 power, approx 3m from subject.
Middle: Flash at 1/8 power, approx 1.5m away.
Bottom: Flash at 1/32 power, approx 0.5m away.
Was amazed at how the background got so dark with the bottom image. I'm getting more amazed at the creative control Strobist lighting gives you.
I've decided to better myself in the realm of off camera lighting by enrolling myself in the Strobist Lighting 102 course. (It's basically a set of instructions and assignments that have been created by David Hobby that help to teach the basics of off camera lighting). Find them at strobist.blogspot.com/2007/06/lighting-102-introduction.html
This is the first assignment: Position- Angle.

Children play around the totem poles near the entrance to Conrad Prebys Australian Outback at the San Diego Zoo. The pillars were inspired by the artwork of aboriginal Australians.

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to
The voices of the birds, and dance
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.
I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.
~ Kahlil Gibran (Last 3 Verses)
I was introduced to the works of Kahlil Gibran back when I was in high school by a good friend who knew of my passion for good literature. She gave me The Prophet which is a series of philosophical poetic essays written in english prose. Must have read that book a hundred times and had to buy another one in hardbound since the pages of my old one were already falling apart. Gibran's work has been an inspiration in my writings and in mine own poetry... now a mere shadow of my past.
