Descend from the high wolds near the remote villages of Guiting Power and Hawling, down towards Andoversford in the valley below. If you follow the old Gloucester road, rather than the busy A40 you will approach the twin villages as travellers have for hundreds of years. A ribbon of houses that skirts the margins of an infant River Coln, the waters of which glister over two fords and through many a clear pool between clumps of yellow flags, dividing the two villages.
Shipton or 'sheep farm' was divided into two parishes in the middle ages each with it's own small church, though they are barely a mile apart. Shipton Oliffe long in the ownership of the Oliffe family grew in importance and when the two parishes were united in 1766 St. Mary's Shipton Solers fell out of use. By 1883 St. Mary's was reduced to a cow byre and only the intervention of the rector Charles Pugh and his wife saved the church for future generations.
St. Oswald, Shipton Oliffe, a small Norman church with 13th century additions, stands below the level of the road. Once owned by the Abbey of St. Peter, Gloucester the church has a 13th century west bellcote with two bells above two gothic windows inserted by H. A. Prothero in 1903-4. A blocked Norman north door gives evidence of the church's early origins while the Early English chancel has retained many of it's original features including an east window with a shafted rere-arcade. The chancel has an Early Decorated south window, a stepped sedilia and a rare Late Decorated canopied piscina. A 13th century south chapel is separated from the nave by a two-bay arcade inserted by Prothero in 1904. The church has a Perpendicular octagonal font, a pulpit by W. Ellery Anderson 1937 and a plaster 19th century Royal Arms. There is an area of wall painting above the chancel arch which may be early 13th century and other texts of the 17th and 18th centuries. The east window has stained glass by Burlison and Grylls. In the churchyard are an interesting collection of tea-caddy tombs.
St. Mary, Shipton Solers was probably consecrated in 1212 as this date was inscribed over the chancel, a discovery made during the sympathetic 1929-30 restoration by W.E. Ellery Anderson. A simple 13th century church of nave and chancel with a west bell-cote added in 1884, lengthened in the Perpendicular period. Most of the windows reflect this 15th century refurbishment although a 13th century lancet survives in the chancel. North and south doors face each other across the nave, the south door appears to be late medieval. When passing through the Early English chancel arch you step down into the chancel, an unusual feature probably a consequence of the sloping ground. Perpendicular king-posts support a wagon roof with carved bosses. Consecration crosses painted in red lead survive in both nave and chancel, possibly late medieval in date, the nave walls have post-Reformation biblical texts. The altar is a 13th century stone mensa found buried beneath the floor during the restoration work carried out in 1929-30. An elaborate painted reredos was carved by Ellery Anderson in 1929, oak panelling was fitted at this time. The nave has a Jacobean pulpit with tester and a modern hourglass stand (the original was stolen) which dates from the 1660 Restoration when sermons were meant to last for over an hour. At the west end of the nave is an octagonal 15th century font. There are a few fragments of medieval glass as well as several attractive 1930s windows by Geoffrey Webb whose web signature can be seen beneath a depiction of the Madonna and Child. Two of the windows have rebus designs, one depicting a house amongst fields of corn commemorates Ernest Fieldhouse while the other shows a ship and tun representing Shipton. St. Mary's is now in the able custody of The Churches Conservation Trust.
The Shiptons are near Andoversford 7miles from Cheltenam, just over an hour from Stratford-upon-Avon.
Raoul Island (Sunday Island) is the largest and northernmost of the main Kermadec Islands, located 680 miles NNE of New Zealand's North Island. It has been the source of vigorous volcanic activity during the past several thousand years that was dominated by dacitic explosive eruptions.
Raoul is part of the Kermadec Islands subtropical moist forests ecoregion and is largely covered with closed-canopy forest, predominantly of the evergreen Kermadec pōhutukawa and the Kermadecnikau palm. It is just far enough south that the occasional fertile coconut from Polynesia that washes up on shore and takes root will not survive in the long term due to a lack of warmth.
The island has no native land mammals and was formerly home to vast colonies of seabirds who nested in the forests. The islands may once have had a species of megapode (based on early settle rrecords) and a subspecies of Kereru.
Currently native landbirds on the island include the Kermadec Red-crowned Parakeet (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae cyanurus), the Australasian Harrier, Pukeko, Tui and several introduced species.
Polynesian visitors introduced the Polynesian rat in the 14th century and Norway rats, cats and goats were introduced by European and American visitors in the 19th and 20th centuries. The rats and cats greatly reduced the seabird colonies, which mostly withdrew to offshore islets, and exterminated the Red-crowned Parakeet, the last confirmed record of resident parakeets for over a century being made in 1836. Although the goats did not eliminate the tree canopy as they did on other islands, they greatly reduced the understory vegetation and were removed in1986. The Department of Conservation eradicated rats and cats between 2002 and 2006, following which Red-crowned Parakeets soon returned naturally, presumably from the Herald Islets, 1.2 – 2.5 mi away. The parakeets had been absent from the island for 150 years and their natural return was a notable event in parrot conservation.
There are numerous invasive plant species on the island and a large scale weeding program involving teams of DOC workers and volunteers has been under way for a number of years in an attempt to eradicate them.The island is part of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve, New Zealand's largest marine reserve, which was created in 1990.

Found these two remote controls at my grandma's. I thought the one on the right (by Philips) had some design efforts put in, and the Toshiba one looks like some intern just kind of grouped the buttons together and labeled them and called it a day.
Picked myself up one of the Nike+ Remote Control watches. Now I don't have to bend my head round to my arm to try and use the touch screen on my iPhone 3GS when I am running.
Bought this from esco on the Neowin forums. Works great and is *highly* customizable to whatever you need to do. I just wish the software wasn't just a frontend for a website. Runs slow as a result (the software, not the remote).
The WSIS Forum has a multi-stakeholder character. The WSIS Stakeholders include governments, civil society, private sector and international organizations from all parts of the world. Today, information and communication technologies (ICTs) provide the opportunity for representation and inclusion of all stakeholders in the WSIS Forum by way of remote participation. In order to ensure participation and inclusion of all WSIS Stakeholders, remote participation has been designed as an integral feature of the WSIS Forum 2013.

Picked myself up one of the Nike+ Remote Control watches. Now I don't have to bend my head round to my arm to try and use the touch screen on my iPhone 3GS when I am running.
With it, I'm in control. I choose what happens. Without it, I'm at the mercy of reality, but with it, I alone decide my fate...
But sometimes, when the batteries run out, I have to press REALLY hard to make it work :(
i got a bunch of titles that i wouldn't use in public!!!
the *&%$@@@ remote doesn't work like they said edition.
i am benchless cause this was the only photo i liked edition.
the "imagine the bench" edition.
i am the bench, you are the bench, we are the bench edition.
i really do have a bench of sorts out of camera range ediiton.
the big fat hairy rats edition.
I rigged up a ghetto-stylee remote flash for the Holga, by taping an optical slave to the on-cam flash, then plugging it into a PW transmitter. $20 camera with $400 radio slaves, rock and roll baby
This photo was taken with a Monopod only, no tripod. The trick was , I positioned the Mono pod in a way that it is 30 degree lying against the iron road barricade along the road. At the same time I was using a remote control so it minimized any shaking movement while I pressed the shuttle button.

I had to overcome some initial problems with getting the receiver to bind with my DX7 remote control via the Spektrum2PPM board. The folks at 1hoch4 were very fast in updating the firmware after I sent them my remote for debugging (thanks for the support!). Now the hardware is basically complete.
For basic testing, I wrote a small application that reads the values of the PPM-encoded radio channels and converts the throttle values to the appropriate values to drive the motor speed controllers, using Arduino's map() function. I also made another test with the propellers (10x4.5 EPP) attached - this thing is mighty powerful! I could barely hold it in my hand.
The test code uses the ServoDecode library to read the PPM pulse train emitted by the Spektrum2PPM board. As it utilizes timer1 and the ArduIMU is quite limited with regards to output pins, I could not use Arduino's built-in Servo library (which uses the same timer). I resorted to using the ServoTimer2 library to drive the ESCs instead.
A beautiful, remote and culturally rich country infamous for its military regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making small steps towards democracy, with the first democratically elected government in 2015, after more than half a century.
Modern conveniences, such as mobile-phone coverage and internet access, are now common, however for all the recent changes, Myanmar remains at heart a rural nation of traditional values - though one may have hard time to find someone among the younger generation without a smartphone or Facebook profile.
One will still encounter men wearing the sarong-like longyi and chewing betel nut, spitting the blood-red juice onto the ground, women with faces smothered in thanakha (a natural sunblock), and cheroot-smoking grannies. Trishaws still ply city streets, while the horse or bullock and cart is common rural transport.

We carefully planned our 3-weeks long Burmese adventure around 6-days long hiking trip in the remote Chin state, where we commenced our journey in the hilltop settlement of Mindat, and subsequently hiked for four days across ethnic minority villages using old footpaths and mule trails.
Besides that, Bagan was the obvious spot to spend a few days exploring its temples, and we also spent a few days more in the south around Hpa-An. Then, finally, Ngapali was the ultimate destination for our beach leisure time.
On Father's Day, we rented a remote-controlled sailboat and Eden sailed it around the Conservatory Water--the same pond that the hero of Stuart Little sails upon.
Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park near Pine Creek, NT is a wonderful place to go bushwalking. The Aboriginal Wagiman people are the traditional people who speak for this land.
Sincere thanks for your dropping by to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia!
