Our walk in the woods proved to be profitable...I chose this capture above as my main shot (more below in comments) because I loved that the mushrooms had pushed the bark aside to emerge... it's pure poetry!

If you have not had the chance to view the mushroom article please go take a look, I think Patrick Robinson did a wonderful job and the mushrooms finally get the due respect that they deserve! I had a great time being interviewed by him too...(: Thank you so much to my wonderful contacts who have left comments under the article itself, it's greatly appreciated...HUGS!! m-

The profitable house belonging to the architect N.P. Basin was built in 1878-1879 according to his own project with the participation of architect N.N. Nikonov. The style of the building is defined as Neo-Russian or pseudo-Russian. The five-story building stands out against the background of the strict architectural ensemble of Ostrovsky Square, the tone to which is set by the Alexandrinsky Theater erected in the era of classicism.

Basin's house, copying the motifs of medieval Russian architecture and folk arts and crafts, is distinguished by its splendor of decor. The facades are made with a lot of details and are generously decorated with stucco, reproducing the decorative motifs of Russian wooden carvings and embroideries. Bay windows are crowned with turrets, various in the design windows are decorated with carved "towels", kokoshniks crowning the cornice and spatterdock pillars.

The Royal Reception Pavillion: This building is part of the monument to commemorate the King Rama III of the current Chakri Dynasty sits by the historic Ratchadamnoen Klang Road the temple of his reign. King Rama III or King Nangklao was known as the great ruling king as well as great businessman who conducted profitable trades with international markets and especially with China. Bangkok Thailand

Background

The Duke of Sutherland and his wife were responsible for evicting thousands of tenants from their land in the Highlands to make way for sheep farming. The Duke was motivated by the desire to increase his estate's rental income and to remove the risk of famine for the population.

The Clearances

The Highland Clearances were a series of events that took place in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Landowners like the Duke of Sutherland evicted tenants from their land in favor of sheep farming, which was more profitable and required fewer administrative tasks. The Clearances were marked by economic instability, forced evictions, and brutality.

The Duke of Sutherland's role

The Duke of Sutherland's role in the Clearances is controversial. He was appalled by the living conditions of his tenants, but his estate management had been planning for clearances for years. The Duke's factors were ruthless in their job, burning many houses and using force to move people.

The Duke of Sutherland's statue

There is a statue of the Duke of Sutherland near Golspie, Scotland. The statue has been the target of repeated vandalism, including an attempt to dynamite it in 1994. In 2011, protestors attempted to topple the statue.

Growing asparagus, strawberries and hops is profitable. However, for all of these plants, special "devices" are needed to grow them in Lower Bavaria. Here, I have portrayed three of them, namely foil tunnels, foil greenhouses and rod assemblies needed to grow hops. These are some examples of the way of farming I see nearby and I am often thinking about my objectives of taking pictures. I decided, not to ignore these kinds of landscapes and to develop a special kind of poesy. Definitely, these images are not as "nice" as sunsets, but part of our life.

Just to the east of Glasgow Cathedral, beyond the course of the (now culverted) Molindinar Burn stands a rocky hill. In 1651 this was purchased by Glasgow's Merchants' House (a powerful grouping of the city's merchants) and, after being planted with fir trees, became known as Fir Park. In 1831 the Merchants' House agreed that the land would be more profitably used as Glasgow's version of the world-famous Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Fir Park therefore became the Glasgow Necropolis.

Over the years since then, some 50,000 people have been buried at the Necropolis, in around 3,500 tombs that extend anything up to 14 feet below the ground and which, on the rocky upper parts of the Necropolis, had to be excavated with the aid of blasting powder.

The monuments that mark these tombs, especially in the upper parts of the Necropolis, are a tribute to the disposable wealth available - at least to some - in Victorian Glasgow, many being built on a vast scale. The result is an outdoor museum of the work of most of the leading Scottish architects of the day, as monuments compete for attention with their intricate detail and in many cases, sheer size.

Extensions to the area of the Necropolis in the latter half of the 1800s led to it reaching an overall size of 37 acres or 15 hectares (rather under a third of the size of the Père Lachaise Cemetery). In 1966 the Merchants' House gave the Necropolis to Glasgow City Council. The council cleared it of many grave surrounds and ornamental benches that both cluttered the Necropolis and made maintenance and upkeep more difficult.

Today the Necropolis is partrolled by Park Rangers, guided tours are available, and Glasgow Necropolis is high on the list of "must visit" attractions in central Glasgow, both as an object of interest in its own right, and as a viewpoint over much of the rest of the city: the views of Glasgow Cathedral are especially good from here.

The hilly and heavily vegetated landscape, and the city centre location, must make maintenance and upkeep of the Necropolis quite a challenge: and it is true that some monuments sprout vegetation; a few bear graffiti; and some have either collapsed or sport "Danger, Keep Out" signs. But despite this, the overall feel of the Necropolis is intriguing and, though it may sound odd to say it, welcoming. You have to remember that the monuments placed here were intended to be looked at and appreciated: it was always intended that visitors should come to marvel at the architectural splendour of the monuments (and the wealth of those who paid for them).

Glasgow Necropolis was always intended to be a multi-denominational burial ground, and one of its oddities is that while some of its monuments relate to multiple burials, others are in memory of people who are not buried here at all. The most striking example of the latter category is the tallest monument in the Necropolis, to John Knox. This was actually placed here in 1825, when the area was still a park. A massive column is topped off with a 12ft high statue of John Knox himself. To modern eyes the location seems a little ironic: Knox is facing west, overlooking Glasgow Cathedral, one of the few medieval churches in Scotland not destroyed during the Reformation in which he played such a leading role.

Hammond, Indiana. April 12, 2003

El Ferrocarril de La Robla nació para abastecer de carbón a la industria siderúrgica asentada a la orilla de la Ría del Nervión. Durante casi un siglo, los trenes cargados del carbón de las cuencas mineras de León y Palencia abastecieron sin descanso las necesidades energéticas de las prósperas empresas vizcaínas. Sin embargo, en los últimos años del pasado siglo se inició un tráfico de carbón "contra natura" ya que recorría la línea en el sentido contrario al que durante tantos años fue el habitual y finalizaba su trayecto en la Central Térmica de Velilla. Resultaba paradójico que el carbón procedente de Rusia, Brasil o Australia fuera más rentable que el que se podía obtener prácticamente junto a la Central Térmica, pero así funcionan las leyes del libre mercado. A los aficionados, estos carboneros nos proporcionaron un inolvidable deleite porque era un auténtico placer de dioses oir bramar a las GECOs, infatigables a la hora de tirar de estos trenes de 900 toneladas. Y este punto situado en Cillamayor siempre fue nuestro favorito. Creo que no es necesario que diga que todo esto ya es historia y que nunca volveremos a verlo, ¿verdad?.

For almost a century, trains loaded with coal from the León and Palencia mining basins tirelessly supplied the energy needs of the prosperous Biscayan companies. However, in the last years of the last century a coal traffic "against nature" began as it traveled the line in the opposite direction to that which was the usual for so many years and ended its journey at the Velilla Thermal Power Plant. It was paradoxical that coal from Russia, Brazil or Australia was more profitable than that which could be obtained practically beside the Thermal Power Plant, but that is how the laws of the free market work. For the fans, these coal freights provided us with an unforgettable delight because it was a true godsend to hear the GECOs roar, tireless when pulling these 900-ton trains. And this point located in Cillamayor was always our favorite for photos. I think it is not necessary for me to say that all this is history and that we will never see it again, right?

In the year 2049, while fishing for nuclear delicacies (see last log entry) has become enormously profitable, another old profession has seen a massive rise: Piracy, or, rogue treasure diving.

Equipped with old, small boats dangerously retro-fitted with modern engine systems, cheap respirators and thinly-isolated diving suits, these daring individuals dive headfirst into their potential green-glowing, watery graves.

The now-sunken megacities of once hold a valuable treasure: Life-saving technology - knowledge about solar energy, ways of filtering dirty water, and the like. Though, these modern pirates would certainly not be unhappy at the sight of a treasure chest filled with gold.

BATTLESHIP stars berth at Sydney; Luna Park; Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, director Peter Berg

Ahoy. The battle for earth begins at sea in epic action-adventure BATTLESHIP - but tonight the all-star cast was warmly welcomed to iconic and circus like Luna Park Sydney, for the Australian Premiere of their highly anticipated new film.

In an exciting and profitable partnership, Universal Pictures and 2Day FM co-presented the Australian Premiere under the Luna Park Big Top, where leading man Taylor Kitsch (John Carter) walked the red carpet with his co-stars - pop sensation Rihanna in her big screen debut, supermodel Brooklyn Decker (Just Go With It) and acclaimed director Peter Berg (Hancock).

From the studio that brought us Transformers, BATTLESHIP is an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by Hasbro’s classic naval combat game, BATTLESHIP stars Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna.

Rihanna arrived (by BattleShip) - thanks to the Australian Navy and top brass Heath Robertson at approx 7pm and wore a black jumpsuit - much more conservative than what she normally wears on stage... perhaps to help protect herself from the cool breeze bouncing off Sydney Harbour.

Pitch...

A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.

Director: Peter Berg

Writers: Erich Hoeber, Jon Hoeber

Stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker and Liam Neeson

Calm Before The Storm; Rihanna Meeting With Film Director - Fun and Games...

Music superstar Rihanna and her Battleship co-star Brooklyn Decker had a bit of fun earlier today ahead of tonight's red carpet premiere at circus themed Luna Park.

The talented and gorgeous ladies wore their own T-shirts featuring old photos of the film's director Peter Berg while talking to Australian news media.

"This journalist came into an interview of ours - I think in London - and he had a Rihanna T-shirt and Brooklyn said 'I'm getting a Rihanna T-shirt' and I said 'no we should get Pete Berg T-shirts'," Rihanna said.

"So it was her idea and we ended up getting them printed and the whole cast has them.

"I cannot wait to see his face."

Rihanna wore the shirt with black leather Alexander Wang shorts and chunky gold jewellery, while Decker wore hers with dark jeans and nude heels.

It's a bit different from the Barbados native's first meeting with Berg, who directed flicks such as Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom and Hancock.

"I had no idea who he was. I knew his face but I didn't know he was a director. I didn't even know it was a movie meeting I was in," she said.

"So he had little replicas of the aliens on this desk and I'm cracking up because he's calling them thugs. I thought 'this guy is so weird, why does he have all these toys in his room?'

"By the end of the whole meeting I had obviously figured out we were talking about a film but only at the end of the meeting I knew that he was the director, and it made me say 'oh (expletive)'. Let me backtrack everything I did in this meeting for the last hour. I hope I've got this part."

The big-budget action movie is Rihanna's first acting role and sees her starring opposite John Carter star Taylor Kitsch, True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard and Liam Neeson.

Early reports are that BattleShip is a quality film and most people will be very entertained. Think 4 out of 5 stars, which is much better than the average film these days. Well done to Universal and the powers that be. Fair winds.

My brake lights flashed on the moment I cruised past this little roadside produce stand. I've driven past it innumerable times without much notice. But on this day the encroaching thunderstorm set it off in dramatic fashion. I quickly turned around and pulled off the road. Absolutely quaint and replete with hand-lettered signs and small baskets of produce for sale. This stand is quite typical of my area. It's basically un-staffed and setup on a self-serve basis. You make your selection and pay on the honor system, leaving your cash and making change from a box of money left inside. Difficult to imagine such a payment model still exists in the modern era. I'm sure some folks abuse it. But apparently enough people adhere to the rules as to make it profitable.

These roadside produce retailers tend to pop up as summer winds down, with crops currently in abundance. I didn't make any purchases, but in retrospect I should have left a couple of bucks to cover my use of the facility as a photo location. I took a series of photos as the storm advanced. I absolutely love observing thunderstorms over farmland. There's usually great sky vistas where land has been cleared for farming. And these areas tend to be free of urban clutter such as utility lines and buildings. But my connection goes beyond the visuals. There's a feeling of connectivity witnessing storms out in the open like this. I think it has to do with scale. I tend to feel quite small as the storms tower above me. I'm always enthralled by the dynamism as clouds swirl and transform shape right before my eyes. And those odd moments (as happened here) when the sun momentarily pops out between clouds, spilling glorious sunlight over the landscape just moments before the rain come pounding down. It's a wonderful contrast not only of light and shadow but of feeling and emotion. These are the moments I love for.

The bright dandelion-yellow flowers of oilseed rape have become a familiar sight across farmland in spring across the country. Rapeseed oil has historically fulfilled a useful role as a "break crop" in farm rotation - to suppress weeds and improve soil quality - for cereal crops such as wheat and barley. But whereas in the past the crop has been largely functional - and has not made farmers much money - in recent years it has become hugely profitable. Rapeseed oil is used as diesel fuel, either as biodiesel, straight in heated fuel systems, or blended with petroleum distillates for powering motor vehicles.

Sorry I'm late.

World Elephant Day is an international annual event on August 12, dedicated to the preservation and protection of the world's elephants.

Elephant numbers have dropped by 62% over the last decade, and they could be mostly extinct by the end of the next decade. An estimated 100 African elephants are killed each day by poachers seeking ivory, meat and body parts, leaving only 400,000 remaining. An insatiable lust for ivory products in the Asian market makes the illegal ivory trade extremely profitable, and has led to the slaughter of tens of thousands of African elephants.

Between 2010 and 2014, the price of ivory in China tripled, driving illicit poaching through the roof. If the elephants are to survive, the demand for ivory must be drastically reduced. As of 2011, the world is losing more elephants than the population can reproduce, threatening the future of African elephants across the continent. Bull elephants with big tusks are the main targets and their numbers have been diminished to less than half of the females. Female African elephants have tusks and are also killed, which has a terrible effect on the stability of elephant societies, leaving an increasing number of orphaned baby elephants. As of 2017, there are still more African elephants being killed for ivory than are being born. . . elephant populations continue to decline.

Elephants are a keystone species. It means they create and maintain the ecosystems in which they live and make it possible for a myriad of plant and animal species to live in those environments as well. The loss of elephants gravely affects many species that depend on elephant-maintained ecosystems and causes major habitat chaos and a weakening to the structure and diversity of nature itself. To lose the elephant is to lose an environmental caretaker and an animal from which we have much to learn. – Wikipedia

"Never speak to a woman about her defects; many a lover has had occasion to congratulate himself on having observed this very profitable reticence. The wingèd-footed hero, Perseus, never found fault with Andromeda for her swarthy skin. Andromache was, in everyone's opinion, far too tall; Hector was the only one who considered her of the average height. Accustom yourself to the things you don't like; you'll learn to put up with them; habit makes a lot of things acceptable. At first, Love will be put off by the merest trifle. A freshly-grafted branch that is just beginning to draw the sap.

from the green bark will fall off if the slightest breath of wind disturbs it; but if you give it time to grow strong, it will soon resist the winds and, developing into a sturdy branch, enrich the tree that bears it with its alien fruit. Time effaces everything, even bodily defects, and what we once looked upon as blemishes will one day cease to seem so. At first, our nostrils cannot bear the smell of the hides of bulls; they grow used to it in time and bear it without distress.

Nor should it be forgotten that women, who are getting on in years, have experience, and it is only experience that sets the seal of perfection on our natural."

Unfortunately this english translation of Ovid's ars amandi by y J. Lewis May in year 1930 is very victorian, epurated of every reference to sex. Here he talks about woman's defects instead of translating it "Believe me you must not accelerate to get the extreme pleasure". Mr. Puritan lives just in another world!

Ulysses, Idaho, is a ghost town known for its brief but intense history as a gold mining camp called Indian Creek. It was inaccessible until 1902, when a large stamp mill arrived, but by 1912, the mines had not proven profitable despite producing about $600,000 in gold. The town, also known as Ruby, Rubyville, and Boulder, was never officially incorporated, but it did have a mining camp with residences, bunkhouses, and various businesses. Nature and vandals have since taken their toll on the remnants of the town.

Kodak files for Chapter 11...blah, blah, blah. OK. Apparently film is still at least somewhat profitable for Kodak. All those Lomographers and we Halina users, right? No..... Motion pictures? Yes. For now anyway. I mentioned a while back that late this past year all the major manufacturers of motion picture cameras have for the most part ended production*....ARRI and such. It's true. They've gone digital. It's where all the R&D money is going.

Up side is Hollywood and the like will continue to consume massive amounts of film - much made by Kodak - for production and distribution for a while to come. How long? Your guess as good or better than mine. For now economy of scale can keep Kodak's film division profitable. Unless some diligent mind at Kodak can figure how to best mess that up as well.

And here is Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. I had forgotten how much I like this......anyway.

BTW, Entertainer Whitney "Crack is whack" Houston has passed away at age 48. Sad. She once said something about being her own worst enemy. Something true of most of us? Perhaps. Never a fan myself, but she was I gather pretty important to lot of people.

The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew nut and the cashew apple. It can grow as high as 14 m (46 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.

The cashew nut, often simply called a cashew, is widely consumed. It is eaten on its own, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liquor.

The species is originally native to northeastern Brazil. Major production of cashews occurs in Vietnam, Nigeria, India, and Ivory Coast.

De cashewboom is een tropische groenblijvende boom die de cashewnoot en de cashewappel voortbrengt. Hij kan wel 14 m hoog worden, maar de dwergcashew, die tot 6 m groeit, is meer winstgevend gebleken, met een eerdere rijpheid en hogere opbrengsten.

De cashewnoot, vaak simpelweg cashewnoten genoemd, wordt veel geconsumeerd. Het wordt op zichzelf gegeten, gebruikt in recepten of verwerkt tot cashewkaas of cashewboter. De schil van het cashewnotenzaad levert derivaten op die in veel toepassingen kunnen worden gebruikt, van smeermiddelen tot verven. De cashewappel is een licht roodachtige tot gele vrucht waarvan het vruchtvlees kan worden verwerkt tot een zoete, adstringerende fruitdrank of kan worden gedestilleerd tot likeur.

De soort komt oorspronkelijk uit het noordoosten van Brazilië. De belangrijkste productie van cashewnoten vindt plaats in Vietnam, Nigeria, India en Ivoorkust.

Es también conocido como cajú, anacardo, nuez de la india, castaña de cajú, marañón, caguil o merey es un árbol originario de la región amazónica del nordeste de Brasil y casi toda Venezuela. Muchos de sus componentes son utilizados en la elaboración de productos diversos, como por ejemplo dulces, cosméticos y medicamentos.

O caju é muitas vezes tido como o fruto do cajueiro quando, na verdade, trata-se de um pseudofruto.

O que entendemos popularmente como "caju" se constitui de duas partes: o fruto propriamente dito, que é a castanha; e seu pedúnculo floral, o pseudofruto, um corpo piriforme, amarelo, rosado ou vermelho.

Na língua tupi, acaiu (caju) significa noz que se produz.

Na tradição oral sabe-se que acayu ou aca-iu refere-se a ano, uma vez que os indígenas contavam a idade a cada floração e safra.

O pseudofruto e fruto

Cajueiro frutificando no município de Cascavel, no Ceará, um dos grandes produtores de caju no estado

O caju, o pseudofruto, é suculento e rico em vitamina C e ferro. Depois do beneficiamento do caju, preparam-se sucos, mel, doces, como cajuada, caju passas, rapadura de caju. Como seu suco fermenta rapidamente, pode ser destilado para produzir uma aguardente o cauim. Dele também são fabricadas bebidas não alcoólicas, como a cajuína.

Muito antes do descobrimento do Brasil e antes da chegada dos portugueses, o caju já era alimento básico das populações autóctones. Por exemplo: os tremembé já fermentavam o suco do caju, o mocororó, que era e é bebido na cerimônia do Torém.

Existe uma variedade enorme de pratos feitos com o caju e com a castanha de caju.

De suas fibras (resíduo/bagaço), ricas em aminoácidos e vitaminas, misturadas com temperos, é feita a "carne de caju"

Nó còn được gọi là điều, điều, điều, điều, điều, caguil hoặc chỉ là một loại cây có nguồn gốc từ vùng Amazon phía đông bắc Brazil và gần như toàn bộ Venezuela. Nhiều thành phần của nó được sử dụng trong sản xuất các sản phẩm khác nhau, chẳng hạn như đồ ngọt, mỹ phẩm và thuốc.

Es ist auch bekannt als Cashew, Cashew, Cashew, Cashew, Cashew, Caguil oder Merey. Es ist ein Baum, der im Amazonasgebiet im Nordosten Brasiliens und in fast ganz Venezuela heimisch ist. Viele seiner Komponenten werden zur Herstellung verschiedener Produkte wie Süßigkeiten, Kosmetika und Medikamente verwendet.

Conosciuto anche come anacardi, anacardi, anacardi, anacardi, anacardi, caguil o semplicemente, è un albero originario della regione amazzonica del nord-est del Brasile e di quasi tutto il Venezuela. Molti dei suoi componenti sono utilizzati nella produzione di vari prodotti, come dolci, cosmetici e medicinali.

On l'appelle également noix de cajou, noix de cajou, noix de cajou, noix de cajou, noix de cajou, caguil ou merey.C'est un arbre originaire de la région amazonienne du nord-est du Brésil et de presque tout le Venezuela. Beaucoup de ses composants sont utilisés dans la production de divers produits, tels que des bonbons, des cosmétiques et des médicaments.

The cave system consists of a horizontal lead mine (a level passageway driven horizontally into the hillside) 200 metres below ground leading to the cavern itself, a limestone cave. The narrow is permanently flooded, so after descending a long staircase, access to the cave is made by boat. At the end of the cavern it opens up with fluorspar veins, stalactites and stalagmites, and the so-called "Bottomless Pit". This chamber has an underground lake with a 20 metres (66 ft) high waterfall and an extremely deep vertical shaft, now choked to within 20 metres (66 ft) of the surface by rock spoil dumped by miners. The original depth of the shaft has been estimated, from the amount of spoil placed in the shaft over the years, at around 150 metres (490 ft).

The mine was developed in the 1770s but the limited lead ore deposits meant that it was not profitable and it was closed down by 1790.

A connection was discovered in 2006 between the Speedwell Cavern system and Titan, the largest natural shaft in the UK, which is 141.5 metres (464 ft) high

My Summer Joust collab entry. My team mates were Alec and Simon (tagged). Had a lot of fun doing this build!

nrhp # 75001778- The Pigeon Forge Mill is located on land that was originally part of a 151-acre (61 ha) plot of land granted in 1810 to Mordecai Lewis (1751–1817), a Revolutionary War veteran from Virginia. Before his death, Lewis may have erected a tub mill along the river (no longer standing).[2] In 1817, Lewis's son-in-law, Isaac Love, built the iron forge for which the city would eventually be named. Taking advantage of a Tennessee state law that allowed tax incentives for the creation of iron works on unfarmable land, Love acquired over 7,000 acres (2,800 ha) of the surrounding country. Love mined brown hematite ore in the hills northeast of the forge, and transported the ore to the forge using ox-drawn wagons. The forge included a bloomery furnace which converted the ore into pig iron, and a 500-pound (230 kg) trip hammer that molded the pig iron into bar iron.[3]

In 1830, Love and his sons built a large gristmill adjacent to the iron furnace, which was used by local farmers to grind grain.[1] As his iron business was never profitable, Love eventually ceased iron production, and sold the entire operation to Alexander Preston in 1841. On May 29 of that same year, Isaac's son, William, established a post office for the community that had developed around the complex, giving it the name "Pigeon Forge."[3]

Preston operated the Pigeon Forge iron works under the name "Sweden Furnace" until 1849, when he sold the mill and furnace to local businessman John Sevier Trotter (1807–1884). By 1856, Trotter was producing two tons of bar iron annually at the Pigeon Forge furnace.[3] During the U.S. Civil War, Trotter— a Union supporter— installed looms in the mill to furnish uniforms for local Union volunteers (Trotter's son, William, commanded a company at the Battle of Fort Sanders in late 1863).[1][4] After the war, Trotter expanded the mill, most notably adding a 60-rpm, 30-horsepower wooden wheel (the current breastshot wheel was a later addition), and establishing a sawmill at the site.[3] Trotter's son, George, dismantled and sold the iron furnace in 1885, but continued operating the mill.[1]

In December 1900, the Pigeon Forge Mill was purchased by local businessman A.T. Householder. Shortly afterward a generator was installed, providing electricity to the string of houses that occupied the river opposite the mill.[1] The current milldam was completed in 1916.[5] The mill was remodeled several times throughout the 20th century by subsequent owners to cater to the tourist traffic along US-441.

2 weekends ago at Chatfield Reservoir. Deb stood by the car and drew trees and an audience. 2 Crows were greatly interested. I'm guessing that people returning to the parking lot after a hike often share some trail mix with them.

As Neville St. Clair might have said: Begging can be more profitable than working.

The Mill began life as a cotton mill driven by water power through a 22ft diameter water wheel.

With the advent of bigger and better mills & machinery, cotton production became uncompetitive and so the mill was converted in 1810 to flax which was used for sails and sacking. Industrial expansion on the west coast and the ending of the Napoleonic wars brought the flax industry to its knees so the mill was converted once again in the 1820s to wool production.

Wool ceased to be a profitable commodity by the 1840s and production ceased.

The Mill, as a precursor to all of the late C20th industrial conversions, became a domestic property and some of the early Victorian wallpaper can still be seen.

By 1860 the Mill was once again converted – this time for use as a sawmill. The sawmill functioned until 1988 when it closed as a business. (gaylemill.org)

An ex-Chessie GP40-2 leads CSX L394 out of Ottawa, Illinois passing one of the last active Rock Island TP-5 signals left in existence which today is nothing more than an approach signal for the IR diamond in town. CSX inherited the New Rock Subdivision from the Chessie which assumed control of this portion of the Rock Island mainline in August of 1980. Today, the New Rock spans roughly 55 miles between Joliet and Utica is one of the most profitable lines on the entire CSX system despite its relative isolation from the rest of the railroad.

Valløy or Vallø is a peninsula by the Oslo Fjord in Slagen in Tønsberg municipality in Vestfold. The peninsula is only about 1 km long and half a km wide, and is located at the entrance to the town of Tønsberg from the east. The peninsula is small, but has nevertheless been very important in national and local industrial history. Valløy was located in the former Sem municipality, which was merged with Tønsberg in 1988.

In 1739, Vallø saltworks was established. The plant was in operation until 1860 when it was closed down. Since then came several industrial companies, including Vallø glassworks, Vallø wallpaper factory and from 1899 Scandinavia's first oil refinery. The first master of distillation was the Austrian Frantz Drtina. After only a few years, this company had problems with profitability, and in 1905 a new company, A / S Vallø Oljeraffineri, was started.

In connection with the saltworks, Valløy church was built in 1782. During the Napoleonic Wars, Valløy was equipped in 1808 with a cannon battery and coastal protection to defend the entrance to Tønsberg town and the saltworks. In the 1820s, Valløy became the port of call for Norway's first steamship, the DS «Constitutionen».

On April 24, 1945, the refinery and the island were bombed by British planes in what is later known as the bombing of Vallø. At least 52 Norwegian civilians were killed and an unknown number of German soldiers lost their lives. The refinery, which was run by Esso Norway from 1905, did not come back into operation until the early 1950s. The wallpaper factory was also rebuilt. At most, more than 500 people lived on the peninsula, but after World War II, the number dropped radically.

Valløy school was in use from 1915 to 1942.

Until 1960, oil was refined using sulfuric acid. The waste product acid stream was deposited on the east side of Vallø and has been there until Esso Norge AS in 2015 started work on removing acid stream, bleach soil and other oil residues. [1] It is estimated that around 300,000 tonnes of contaminated mass will be removed by boat or truck. The work, which is carried out by Veidekke Entreprenør AS and the Belgian company Deme Environmental Contractors (DEC). The work was completed in March 2020.

Colza, more commonly referred to as rapeseed, has become a profitable source of vegetable oil, particularly in areas that are too far north for the efficient cultivation of sunflowers. Many vegetable, fruit and oil crops are planted in Mont Saint Michel's versatile soil.

In Memory of Mister B

Cripple Creek, Colorado

Cripple Creek is a historic gold mining town whose mineral wealth is still being mined profitably today. I had stopped there in 2014 only to find Bennet Avenue, the main street, being completely torn up for repairs and improvements. I did have some memorable moments there though, in particular meeting the graveyard groundskeeper who made some of the history come to life for me as he told me about several of the notables buried in Mt Pisgah Cemetery. I took him up on his reading list and purchased several books about the town and some of the early pioneers.

...after reading the first one, an autobiography written by the daughter of a gold miner, Mabel Barbee, I was hooked to the town the same way I was to Bodie, Califonia. In a few hours time I had devoured the book and immersed myself into the private moments of people long gone, but whose lives somehow still echoed in the streets of Cripple Creek.

I decided to go back again in 2015 hoping the repairs were done, and having a much more informed mental picture of what had transpired in the town...instead of a visit to a picturesque little hamlet in Colorado, it was now like a time machine...memories coming alive on every street corner.

...and in that frame of mind...walking along Cripple Creek's historic Bennett Avenue one evening, I happened to look up to find someones eyes planted intently upon me.....which became the most poignant event in 8700 miles of travel last October. It was like seeing my dog again who was taken by cancer a few years back. A feisty little white Maltese. Sure they all look alike...but they don't. This one looked just like mine. I grabbed a couple of shots, and walked away in a sort of deja vu / surreal thankfulness that one day I'll see my little buddy once again...his eyes following me all the way down the street.

I now have a very private grubstake in Cripple Creek myself.

Connemara is a region on the Atlantic coast of western County Galway, in the west of Ireland. The area has a strong association with traditional Irish culture and contains much of the Connacht Irish-speaking Gaeltacht, which is a key part of the identity of the region and is the largest Gaeltacht in the country. Historically, Connemara was part of the territory of Iar Connacht (West Connacht). Geographically, it has many mountains (notably the Twelve Bens), peninsulas, coves, islands and small lakes. Connemara National Park is in the northwest. It is mostly rural and its largest settlement is Clifden.

One common definition of the area is that it consists of most of west Galway, that is to say the part of the county west of Lough Corrib and Galway city, contained by Killary Harbour, Galway Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Some more restrictive definitions of Connemara define it as the historical territory of Conmhaícne Mara, i.e. just the far northwest of County Galway, bordering County Mayo. The name is also used to describe the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking areas) of western County Galway, though it is argued that this too is inaccurate as some of these areas lie outside of the traditional boundary of Connemara. There are arguments about where Connemara ends as it approaches Galway city, which is definitely not in Connemara — some argue for Barna, on the outskirts of Galway City, some for a line from Oughterard to Maam Cross, and then diagonally down to the coast, all within rural lands.

The wider area of what is today known as Connemara was previously a sovereign kingdom known as Iar Connacht, under the kingship of the Ó Flaithbertaigh, until it became part of the English-administered Kingdom of Ireland in the 16th century.

Connemara lies in the territory of Iar Connacht, "West Connacht," within the portion of County Galway west of Lough Corrib, and was traditionally divided into North Connemara and South Connemara. The mountains of the Twelve Bens and the Owenglin River, which flows into the sea at An Clochán / Clifden, marked the boundary between the two parts. Connemara is bounded on the west, south and north by the Atlantic Ocean. In at least some definitions, Connemara's land boundary with the rest of County Galway is marked[citation needed] by the Invermore River otherwise known as Inbhear Mór[3] (which flows into the north of Kilkieran Bay), Loch Oorid (which lies a few kilometres west of Maam Cross) and the western spine of the Maumturks mountains. In the north of the mountains, the boundary meets the sea at Killary, a few kilometres west of Leenaun.

The coast of Connemara is made up of multiple peninsulas. The peninsula of Iorras Ainbhtheach (sometimes corrupted to Iorras Aithneach) in the south is the largest and contains the villages of Carna and Kilkieran. The peninsula of Errismore consists of the area west of the village of Ballyconneely. Errisbeg peninsula lies to the south of the village of Roundstone. The Errislannan peninsula lies just south of the town of Clifden. The peninsulas of Kingstown, Coolacloy, Aughrus, Cleggan and Renvyle are found in the north-west of Connemara. Of the numerous islands off the coast of Connemara, Inishbofin is the largest; other islands include Omey, Inishark, High Island, Friars Island, Feenish and Maínis.

The territory contains the civil parishes of Moyrus, Ballynakill, Omey, Ballindoon and Inishbofin (the last parish was for a time part of the territory of the Clann Uí Mháille, the O Malleys of the territory of Umhall, County Mayo), and the Roman Catholic parishes of Carna, Clifden (Omey and Ballindoon), Ballynakill, Kilcumin (Oughterard and Rosscahill), Roundstone and Inishbofin.

The Ó Cadhla (Kealy) clan were the rulers of Connemara up until the 13th century, when they were displaced by the Ó Flaithbertaighs. The latter had fled into Iar Connacht from Maigh Seola during the Anglo-Norman invasion of Connacht during the early 13th century.

The main town of Connemara is Clifden. The area around the town is rich with megalithic tombs. The famous "Connemara Green marble" is found outcropping along a line between Streamstown and Lissoughter. It was a trade treasure used by the inhabitants of the prehistoric time. It continues to be of great value today. It is available in large dimensional slabs suitable for buildings as well as for smaller pieces of jewellery. It is used for the pendant for the Chief Scout's Award, the highest award in Scouting Ireland.

Connemara was drastically depopulated during the Great Famine in the late 1840s, with the lands of the Anglo-Irish Martin family being greatly affected and the bankrupted landlord being forced to auction off the estate in 1849.

As that year of 1847 had been the worst of several consecutive years of famine, it was to be understood that those missing tenants had abandoned their holdings to crowd into the workhouses or the emigrant ships to the New World, or they were dead; in any case they no longer infested the ground, which was left as a blank canvas on which Capital could paint a fair and profitable landscape.

The first transatlantic flight, piloted by British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown, landed in a boggy area near Clifden in 1919.

Ayer comprobé que un contacto de Flickr había estado viendo esta foto que, por los años que han pasado desde que la subí, se encontraba perdida en las profundidades de mi galería. Pensé que una imagen como esta merecía mejor suerte así que eliminé los feos garabatos que llevaba la máquina en el frontal y la revelé guiándome por mis nuevas preferencias, un tanto divergentes con las que empleaba hace 13 años. Aquella fue una mañana muy provechosa porque la luz se portó estupendamente con nosotros y pudimos fotografiar los tres trenes de viajeros que partían a primera hora desde la terminal bilbaína: un Talgo IV, un Diurno y un Talgo III. Mayor variedad, imposible!!!

Sin embargo, estuve cerca de perderme este fantástico espectáculo porque el día anterior la cámara se me había caído al suelo y se rompió una de las patillas del objetivo "pequeño". En el último momento me animé a salir de casa con el -pensaba- poco operativo objetivo 55-200mm pero su rendimiento fue excelente.

Yesterday I verified that a Flickr contact had been viewing this photo which, for the years that have passed since I uploaded it, was lost in the depths of my gallery. I thought that an image like this deserved better luck so I eliminated the ugly scribbles that the machine had on the front and revealed it, guided by my new preferences, somewhat divergent with those I used 13 years ago. That was a very profitable morning because the light behaved marvelously with us and we were able to photograph the three passenger trains that left early from the Bilbao terminal: a Talgo IV, a Diurnal and a Talgo III. Greater variety, impossible !!!

However, I was close to missing this fantastic show because the day before the camera had dropped on the ground and one of the "small" lens pins had broken. At the last moment I was encouraged to leave the house with the -thought- little operational 55-200mm lens but its performance was excellent.

A capture of one of the many abandoned goldmine shaft structures in Johannesburg.

Mining in South Africa has been the main driving force behind the history and development of Africa's most advanced and richest economy. Large scale and profitable mining started with the discovery of a diamond on the banks of the Orange River in 1867 by Erasmus Jacobs and the subsequent discovery and exploitation of the Kimberley pipes a few years later. Gold rushes to Pilgrim's Rest and Barberton were precursors to the biggest discovery of all, the Main Reef/Main Reef Leader on Gerhardus Oosthuizen's farm Langlaagte, Portion C, in 1886, the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the subsequent rapid development of the gold field there, the biggest of them all.

The Witwatersrand is in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Gauteng Province is the roughly the southern portion of what was previously the Transvaal, formerly an independent state settled by the Boers after the Great Trek. J. H. Davis, an Englishman, was reported to have found gold "in considerable quantities" in July 1852 at Paardekraal near Krugersdorp, which was the earliest discovery on the Rand. Davis had sold £600 worth of gold (£457,000 in 2010 Pounds to the Transvaal Treasury and had shortly thereafter been ordered out of the country in accordance with the prevailing policy of secrecy. In October 1853 Pieter Jacob Marais, born in Cape Town on 31 July 1826, discovered gold on the banks of the Jukskei River, this find too was hushed up. The first mining concern (the Nil Desperandum Co-operative Gold Company) was formed at Blaauwbank in 1874.

Gold was mined at various places on the Rand up to 1886, when the discovery of the Witwatersrand Main Reef set off the historic Witwatersrand Gold Rush.

Gold was discovered in the area known as Witwatersrand, triggering what would become the Witwatersrand Gold Rush of 1886. Like the diamond discoveries before, the gold rush caused thousands of foreign expatriates to prospect and mine the region. This heightened political tensions in the area, ultimately contributing to the Second Boer War in 1899. Ownership of the diamond and gold mines became concentrated in the hands of a few entrepreneurs, largely of European origin, known as the Randlords.

Cecil Rhodes founded Gold Fields of South Africa (GFSA) in 1887. Rand Mines (now Randgold), Johannesburg Consolidated Investments, General Mining and Union Corporation were quickly in place, all backed by men who had started in diamonds. Only Sir Ernest Oppenheimer's Anglo American was formed rather later, in 1917, while AngloVaal was founded in 1933. These seven houses provided the foundations of the South African gold industry which was always described as the 'flywheel' of the country's expansion.

He was born 30 December 1869 at Swanmore, county of Hampshire, England.

In 1876 he emigrated to Canada with his family and settled on a farm near the hamlet of Egypt, south of Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe.

Leacock was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto. He completed a degree in modern languages at the University of Toronto in 1891.

Inspired by Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, he enrolled at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in political economy and political science under Veblen in 1903.

Concurrently he joined the Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University, Montreal.

In 1906 he published his first and most profitable book: Elements of Political Science, a university textbook. Twenty-seven other books of non-fiction followed.

In 1908 he became head of his department at McGill, helped found the University Club and began developing Old Brewery

I had always seen it from the highway and had a little time to find the jeep trail that you can also see. Thought I would shoot it from a perspective that the miners had.

Located between Ouray and Silverton the Yankee Girl was constructed in 1881 and abandoned before the turn of the century. It became one of the richest, most profitable and famous mines in the history of silver mining in the United States, producing over 3 million dollars of gold, silver, and lead.

The search for coal which has come down the rivers of the Himalayas into the foothills of Assam and Sylhet.

Of course, there is no denying that its thankless and hard labour but these local villagers hunt for this energy source every day as it provides a more profitable income than basic farming.

And so in a sense, its natures gift to them.

The engine houses of Wheal Peevor near Redruth date from 1872 and are grade II listed. This engine house was part of the ore processing operation, driving the stamps (ore crushers).

The early 1870s was a time of unprecedented tin prices, known as 'The Great Tin Boom', so this was a period of rapid growth of tin production in Cornwall. As tin is heavier than copper, the tin lodes formed deeper in the ground, making them harder to reach. Many old copper mines had reached their depth limit several decades earlier and closed down. However, at this time of higher tin prices combined with better technology, many of these old sites could be reworked, and this is one such example.

While Wheal Peevor was profitable for a while, tin prices in the 19th century were volatile, and the mine closed in 1889.
