Bromine, symbol Br, atomic number 35 is a red, non-metallic liquid discovered in 1826 by Antoine Balard in a salt marsh. *Though perhaps a German student Carl Lowig found it first but didn't get around to claiming it. Bromine is not something you want to stick your nose in, as it is irritating, burning and hazardous, with a noxious vapor.
The name bromine comes from the Greek for "bromos" or stench. The stench might even be that attributed to a stinky goat.
From bromine, we get bromides, which are compounds containing bromine. An example is silver bromide is used in photographic processes.
Bromine/bromide has also influenced language. That is the use of bromide to mean dull, uninteresting, trite and tiresome. To quote wordsmith.org: " In earlier times, potassium bromide used to be taken as a sedative. So any statement that was intended to be soothing ("Don't worry, everything will be OK.") acquired the name bromide. Eventually any commonplace or tired remark and anyone uttering such remarks came to be known as a bromide."
From this boring "bromide" comes "bromidic," the adjective form.

My print was created by screen print with 3 screens for 3 color process. Due to some learning curve errors, in the end my screens were created by painting the negative space with screen filler.
I used the image of a goat after reading a reference to "stench of the goat" relating to the Greek word for stench. This goat is standing by a marsh and inhaling the nasty red vapor of bromine (but he doesn't mind, because he already smells).
After I had designed the image, I went on to read about the linguistic connection between bromine and bromide/bromidic. I thought that was really interesting. I always like when sedation leads to new words. Nowadays I don't think these terms are used much, but we should put them back into use. It can be the new cool slang if we get the right people saying it in public. It's basically the equivalent to "triflin'" (trifle-ing) anyway.

I love this project, everybody's prints, and can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks to azuregrackle and everybody else. Various internet sources were used in obtaining the above info about bromine.

By the end of the century, sub-alpine meadows could shrink up to 27 percent at Mount Rainier National Park and disappear entirely at North Cascades National Park. To understand the effects of climate change on pollinators and protect our sub-alpine meadows, the Cascades Butterfly Project will be monitoring three sites in North Cascades National Park, two in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, and four in Mount Rainier National Park.

School project. This project was about still-life photography.
The whiskey, coffee and wine were very good.

Led by the Fergus Conservation District and landowner Mark Machler, work on the Big Spring Creek restoration project near Lewistown, Mont., was completed in the summer of 2017. NRCS developed the restoration plan and paid for a portion of the construction through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The project restored the natural meander of Big Spring Creek, which had been straightened in the 1960s. In addition to improving fish and wildlife habitat, the restoration will curtail erosion, sedimentation, and flooding. June 2017. Fergus County, Montana.
The 2013 construction project is slowly coming to an end. These photos are of what is going to be the DMPD Identification Section Blood Lab.
Project Description:
This secondary school addition includes concrete foundations with structural steel framing and metal decking, built up roofing, masonry and stucco. This addition was completed while school was in progress, which involved extensive tie-ins to the existing facility complete with temporary heating and hoarding. Student safety and noise mitigation was a primary concern. Certain construction activities were scheduled around class times.
The Westpro Advantage:
Focused operations ensured the safety of the school populations. Efficient scheduling reduced impact on school day to day operations, while ensuring an on time and on budget project. There were no accidents with respect to Safety or School Operations.

Germany - Lubeck: Marzipan - Niederegger - Lubeck
Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and ground almonds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzipan
The Niederegger brand stands for a commitment to quality. Since 1806 Niederegger have been producing the finest quality marzipan in the historical city of Lubeck.
Carefully selected Mediterranean almonds are mixed with sugar and passed through several granite presses before the resulting paste is moved to copper kettles for roasting.
The result after roasting is a pure marzipan paste, all Niederegger products are made with 100% pure marzipan without adding further sugar to the pure paste.
The full range includes marzipan loaves, assortments with fruit and praline fillings , liqueur and marzipan selections, marzipan fruits and novelties, even marzipan tea and cappuccino are offered.
In addition there is a collection of seasonal products at various price points, along with truffles and praline assortments.

I came across some photos of a project from last year. I was asked to put together the parts for a model of Poole Bus Station for someone to build. (Not really my sort of thing at all)
I duly designed, printed and dispatched it. To keep the costs reasonable I only actually built a trial of a small part of it - the area marked in red on the diagram.
The whole model comes out at over four feet long (!!!), and takes an amazing amount of card, but if anyone fancies a crazy challenge then let me know.
When I saw this weeks topic I thought "oh no, Another self-portrait" but I decided to go another way. An old Polaroid camera and some old Polaroid pictures

A new project
Sketchbook Project 2009.
Fill a pocket moleskine cahier notebook before February
the theme: 'Everyone we know'
My take - is ';Everyone we know loves food' such as.....
I am so predictable I know... but I had to find something that I can easily fill a book with.
The paper is not suitable for applying water to so I am doing it with WC pencils or crayons and working fast...
Unfortunately the ink and colour will come through and the paper crinkle but hey - that is ok... more fun!
I am seriously worried about how I am going to get this done in the time that I just have to get stuck into it and not worry too much about the individual pages!

Germany - Lubeck: Marienkirche - St. Mary's Church, built c1250 - c1350; demolished 29 March 1942; rebuilt 1947-1959.
Built in 1561 through to 1566, the Astronomical Clock is considered to be a real treasure of both art history and sacred history. It was located behind the High Altar in the ambulatory but was completely destroyed in 1942. Only one dial (which had been replaced with an earlier restoration) remains in the St. Annen Museum. The new Astronomical Clock was constructed on the East side of the Northern transept in the "Death dance" chapel. It is the work of Paul Behrens, a clockmaker in Lübeck, who planned it as his lifetime achievement from 1960 - 1967, collected donations for it and constructed the elements of the clock himself. He also maintained the clock until his death. The clockface is a simplified duplicate of the original. With a complicated mechanical system, the clock shows planetary positions, phases of the sun and moon, signs of the zodiac (astronomically, not astrologically), the date on which Easter falls and the Golden Ratio. At 12 o'clock midday the bells ring out and the movement of the figures before Christ consecrating spurs into action. The figures were originally Electors; after post-war reconstruction they are now eight representatives of the different races and peoples of the world.

This is my first Project Life page. I'm working a little backwards perhaps, as I haven't done the cover page, yet. I got this idea to do a resolutions page from this pin - www.pinterest.com/pin/54395107973348049/ (thanks MH!). I took pictures on New Years Day and then wrote our resolutions on the pictures (or to the sides on the C1's and Jason's - which he hasn't told me yet). I had C1 write his in himself - it says "Pick up my toys after I play with them and read more books". The brown paper is a brown paper grocery bag. My core kit is Kraft.
