236/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "Replicate a photo from the ODC Explore page":
I was not able to paste a copy of the inspiration for this photo here, because of the photographer's settings. So here's a link: www.flickr.com/photos/pleasureinpixels/5436968310/ I've been wanting to try this shot for a while, but couldn't think of any way to make it original. Today's challenge at least gave me permission to try. I thought this was such a clever concept, shot for the challenge of "zipper". I've tried to change it a bit , not necessarily to make it better, but just to make it my own...although it's pretty hard to make this concept look original. I first thought this topic would be fun as it gave me the opportunity to try something I've seen without feeling guilty. BUT....I actually found it frustrating and confining.
AND...I had BIG problems with PSE 8 today (using Windows 7)...repeated crashing...could not even open the edit program. SO frustrating. Had to uninstall and reload. It's working now, but I lost all my actions, as I knew I would. Have to reinstall them one by one...colossal waste of time. Am contemplating buying PSE 9...wondering if it's more stable. 8 feels like a piece of junk. Any suggestions???? There's already been one suggestion for lightroom....I'd prefer not to learn a new program, but that may be the way to go. Today was extremely frustrating. ARG.

A “Monet” garden is one that replicates the great artist/gardener’s use of special visual effects, color harmonies and garden accents.
The Monet Garden at the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens was dedicated in 2003. Roughly one acre in size, it features hundreds of varieties of trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, wildflowers and bulbs.
VIEW LARGE ( if you have the time)
Tiers of colorful flowers cascade from arbors and trellises and over rock walls and paths, delighting visitors in a non-stop show from March through October. Numerous benches located throughout the garden, also in the Monet style, allow visitors to sit and enjoy spectacular views in every direction. A graceful bridge spans upper and lower water gardens, providing an excellent vantage point for viewing the extent of the garden.
The Monet Garden is a cooperative effort of the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens and the Johnson County Extension Master Gardeners

Oral CBD Prevented COVID-19 Infection in Real-World Patients, Study Suggests.
While not a substitute for vaccines, "CBD has the potential to prevent infections, such as breakthrough infections," the study's lead author said. Cannabidiol—the non-psychoactive cannabis compound better known as CBD—is a potent blocker of SARS-CoV-2 replication in human cells, new research shows. Not only that, but a survey of real-world patients taking prescribed CBD found a “significant” negative relationship between CBD consumption and COVID-19 infection.
As detailed in a paper published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances by a team of 33 researchers at the University of Chicago and University of Louisville, a survey of 1,212 U.S. patients taking prescribed CBD found that people taking 100 milligrams-per-milliliter oral doses of CBD returned positive COVID-19 tests at much lower rates than control groups with similar medical backgrounds who did not take CBD.
ADVERTISEMENT
According to the study, all of the patients were people who had seizure-related conditions, which CBD is often prescribed to treat. Of this group, 6.2 percent returned positive COVID-19 tests or a diagnosis, compared to 8.9 percent in the control group. Among a smaller subset of patients who were likely taking CBD on the dates of their first COVID-19 test, the effect was even more pronounced: Only 4.9 percent of people taking CBD became infected with COVID-19, compared to 9 percent in the control group.
"Our results suggest that CBD and its metabolite 7-OH-CBD can block SARS-CoV-2 infection at early and even later stages of infection,” the study states.
Besides looking at real-world data, the scientists conducted lab tests. Lead author Dr. Marsha Rosner, a professor in the Ben May Department for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago, and her team treated human lung cells for two hours with CBD before infecting them with SARS-CoV-2, and left them for 48 hours while monitoring them for the presence of the COVID spike protein. They found that CBD inhibits the replication of genes required for the growth and spread of the virus throughout the body. They performed the same tests on three COVID-19 variants and found the same result.
“As a bottom line, what this says is that CBD has the potential to prevent infections, such as breakthrough infections, which might be one of the most useful applications,” Rosner told Motherboard.

The researchers strove to identify the mechanism through which CBD inhibited infection; while they found a negligible effect at the point at which viruses enter cells, they found CBD to be “very effective” at preventing protein expression in cells two and six hours after infection, and “partially effective” at doing so 15 hours after infection. They also found that CBD’s metabolite, 7-OH-CBD—the compound created in the body when CBD is processed in the liver and intestines—has similar antiviral effect and was non-toxic to cells.
The study offers strong evidence that CBD can treat and slow the transmission of COVID-19. It comes just one week after an initial revelation out of Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Sciences University that cannabis precursors (the acids that, when combusted, turn into CBD and THC) can halt the infection of cells by SARS-CoV-2 in lab tests.

A Q&A With the Scientist Who Discovered Cannabis Can Prevent COVID-19
AUDREY CARLETON
12.1.22
The authors of that study were careful to note that cannabis-derived products, while a potentially important public health intervention, are no substitute for vaccination campaigns. However, in the all-out fight to end the pandemic, they could end up becoming a much-needed supplement.
“Despite recent vaccine availability, SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading rapidly, highlighting the need for alternative treatments, especially for populations with limited inclination or access to vaccines,” the University of Chicago researchers write in their study.

“What we don't want… is people just running out and thinking, ‘I can take CBD, and then I don't have to get vaccinated or I don't have to be masked,’” Rosner said. “This is what we really don't want to see.”
It seems like there’s a flood of scientific news about the promise of cannabis in preventing or treating COVID-19. Last week, a different group of researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, identified CBD as a primer to a process called apoptosis, or natural cell death—in the case of COVID-19, their research suggests that CBD spurs on the death of infected cells, stopping viral spread in its tracks and slowing the transmission to others.
The studies, in tandem, contribute to a growing body of research identifying cannabis as a tool in the global COVID-19 response arsenal. Rosner and her team first laid the ground for this work in March of 2021, when they identified cannabidiol as a potential treatment for COVID-19 for its ability to hamper viral replication in lung cells in a lab. As detailed in a pre-print, the team found that in quantities similar to those that are prescribed as treatment for epilepsy, CBD inhibits the replication of genes that are required for viruses to spread throughout the body.
Rosner and her team caution against conflating their findings with the suggestion to use recreational cannabis as a treatment for COVID-19: THC may inhibit CBD’s antiviral effects, the authors note, and smoking is bad for your lungs. Without clinical trials, they also can’t recommend that people go out and buy CBD at a dispensary.
“We strongly caution against the temptation to take CBD in presently available formulations including edibles, inhalants or topicals as a preventative or treatment therapy at this time,” the authors write. “Especially without the knowledge of a rigorous randomized clinical trial with this natural product.”
Rosner notes that it’s impossible to know what CBD dosage and formula will be most effective at treating COVID-19 infection until her research moves into clinical trials on humans. After all, Rosner said, “we can only do so much in mice; we really need to do this in people.”
“We think it has a potential, both to be a preventative—so for instance, you can imagine that I'm going traveling and CBD is something that, if we can make the right product accessible, it should be widely available, it should be something people could anticipate needing,” she said. “Or you go and get tested and immediately start taking it. The hope is that it would prevent more serious disease, but we don't know yet. And we would need a clinical trial.” Source: www.vice.com/en/article/bvn743/oral-cbd-prevented-covid-1...
This sculpture replicates prehistoric archeoastronomy sites found in the southwest, and acts as a laboratory to chart the yearly migration of the sun. Archeoastronomy is the study of prehistoric cultural connections with the sun, moon and stars.
By watching the interactions of light and shadow, a viewer can tell the time of year, as well as the significant events marking solstices and equinoxes.
If you're ever near Blanding on a rainy day and you're stuck for something to do, try Edge of the Cedars State Park. We got lost in there for an entire afternoon. If you're interested in the local culture, it's a fascinating museum; very well done with stunning display. We learned a lot and would likely go back again, it's not huge but there's a lot to see.

Summer 2015: "Up was Down"
June 5: Rain Day - Butler Wash, Edge of the Cedars.
I have been trying, on & off for yonks, to replicate in photoshop elements the processing I did on this photo with picnic in about 2 minutes flat - not least because the quick picnic edit wasn't a proper square, which is just so irritating when I've printed it. This is the best I've managed.... All rather irritating, tho' I suppose a useful learning step (as I continue to stumble around in PSE).
The original photo was taken over Hogmanay 2008-09 in the Yorkshire Dales. The river Skirfare in Littondale, near Arncliffe.
(We are off to Arncliffe again this Hogmanay, hence my revisiting this and the previous picture of Arncliffe church from last time.)
A self portrait trying to replicate the British Tommy soldier from WW2, I was stood in the shower trying to get the effect of raining with one LED panel set off to the right (my left) wearing a plastic replica helmet my son had for a school project. New to portrait photography so still trying to learn the ropes!

At the dawn of the Nineteenth Century, Christmas was hardly celebrated – at least, not in a way we would recognise today. Many businesses didn't consider it to be a holiday. Gift giving had traditionally been a New Year activity, but moved as Christmas became more important to the Victorians. By the end of the century, Christmas had become the biggest annual celebration in the British calendar. Victorian advancements in technology, industry and infrastructure – as well as having an impact on society as a whole – made Christmas an occasion that many more British people could enjoy. From Christmas cards to decorated trees and Christmas crackers, many of our best-known Christmas traditions are products of the Victorian era.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 21st of December is "get in the festive mood". Anyone who follows my photostream knows that I love and collect 1:12 size miniatures which I photograph in realistic scenes. The artifice of recreating in minute detail items in 1:12 scale always amazes me, and it’s amazing how the eye can be fooled. I have created such a scene here, where everything is comes from my 1:12 miniatures collection. Therefore I have decided to use them to illustrate a very Victorian Christmas, which I think exemplifies being in the festive mood. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
As this is the last "Smile on Saturday" before Christmas, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy Festive Season. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
This scene is comprised of 1:12 miniatures from my 1;12 miniature collection, ranging from artisan pieces acquired in the last couple of years, to items I have had since my childhood. Fun things to look for in this tableau include:
The Christmas tree is a 1:12 artisan miniature made by an unknown artist. I bought it via E-Bay from a seller in the United States. The tree came full dressed, complete with little gold angel on top, the apron at its bottom and all the baubles and bows between.
The Christmas presents you see beneath the Christmas tree and scattered around the room were made by husband and wife artistic team Margie and Mike Balough who own Serendipity Miniatures in Newcomerstown, Ohio. The Christmas garland hanging from the fireplace was also made by them.
The New Year cards you see on the mantlepiece of the fireplace are all 1:12 size miniatures made by the British miniature artisan Ken Blythe. Most of his work that I have come in the form of books, which he has made may be opened to reveal authentic printed interiors. In some cases, you can even read the words, depending upon the size of the print! I have quite a large representation of Ken Blythe’s work in my collection. What might amaze you is that all Ken Blythe’s opening books are authentically replicated 1:12 scale miniatures of real volumes. As well as books, he also designed other paper based artistic items. This includes these New Year cards which are 1:12 copies of genuine Victorian New Year cards! To create something so authentic to the original in such detail and so clearly, really does make them all miniature artisan pieces. Ken Blythe’s work is highly sought after by miniaturists around the world today and command high prices at auction for such tiny pieces, particularly now that he is no longer alive. I was fortunate enough to acquire pieces from Ken Blythe prior to his death about four years ago, as well as through his estate via his daughter and son-in-law. His legacy will live on with me and in my photography which I hope will please his daughter.
The other Christmas cards seen around the room are artisan miniatures made by an unknown artist and came in their own presentation box. They came from kathleen Knight's Doll's House Shop in the United Kingdom.
The delicious looking plate of iced and decorated Christmas biscuits, which is a miniature artisan piece gifted to me by my dear Flickr friend and artist Kim Hagar (www.flickr.com/photos/bkhagar_gallery/), who surprised me with it last Christmas.
The antique velvet drawing room suite with its button-back upholstery I have had since I was a child of eight. The sofa, grandfather armchair and grandmother slipper chair were a gift to me that Christmas. The small salon chair in the back right-hand corner of the photo also comes from my childhood and I have had it since I was about ten.
The tall Dutch style chest of drawers to the far left of the photo was one of the first pieces of miniature furniture I ever bought for myself. I chose it as payment for several figures I made from Fimo clay for a local high street toy shop when I was eight years old. All these years later, I definitely think I got the better end of the deal!
The two wine tables and the demi-lune tables come from Kathleen Knight's Doll's House Shop in the United Kingdom.
The two cottages orné pastille burners sitting on the demi-line table have been hand made, painted and gilded by Welsh miniature ceramist Rachel Williams who has her own studio, V&R Miniatures, in Powys. The ornate Victorian ruby glass epergne between them is an artisan miniature made of real spun glass and came from Beautifully Handmade Miniatures in Kettering.
The gilt Art Nouveau tea set, featuring a copy of a Royal Doulton leaves pattern, comes from a larger tea set which has been hand decorated by beautifully Handmade Miniatures in Kettering as well.
The ornate white plaster fireplace with its wide mantle, the fire screen in front if it, and the hand embroidered pole fire screen to the left of the fireplace, the black leaded fire surround and brass fire tools also come from Kathleen Knight's Doll's House shop in the United Kingdom.
The grey marble French barrel clock on the mantlepiece is a 1:12 artisan miniature made by Hall’s Miniature Clocks, supplied through Doreen Jeffries Small Wonders Miniatures in England.
The two ornate fluted Victorian ruby glass vases standing to either side of the clock between the New Year cards are artisan miniatures made of real spun glass and came from Kathleen Knight's Doll's House shop in the United Kingdom.
The family photos on the mantlepiece and on the walls are all real photos, produced to high standards in 1:12 size on photographic paper by Little Things Dollhouse Miniatures in Lancashire. The frames are from various suppliers, but all are metal.
The four miniature silhouettes featuring a Georgian era gentleman and lady, and two top hatted Victorian gentlemen come from Lady Mile Miniatures in the United Kingdom.
The central portrait of an old Victorian woman in its gold frame also comes from Kathleen Knight's Doll's House shop in the United Kingdom, whilst the Regency portrait of the gentleman to the right-hand side of the photograph was made by Maria Makes Miniatures in the United Kingdom.
The wallpaper is William Morris’ ‘Poppies’ pattern, featuring stylised Art Nouveau poppies. William Morris papers and fabrics were popular in the late Victorian and early Edwardian period before the Great War.
The miniature Victorian style rug on the floor is made by hand by Pike and Pike in the United Kingdom.
The challenge this week was to take an aerial view. No mean feet when you do not have a drone so I had to think out of the box.
This photo was taken on my trip into the Bell Tower of the town Hall. I wanted to replicate an old picture post card book of Market Square Braintree that was taken from the bell tower of the town hall around 1928.
I am a firm believer that if you don't ask you don't get, so a quick phone call the manager and to my surprise they said "YES".
Thank you to Braintree Town Hall for making this unique view of Braintree possible and allowing me to take this recreation photo possible.
It is truly very much appreciated.
The moral of this photo is "If you don't ask, You don't get." They can always say No however you may just be surprised with the answer.
Thank you.

Iandra Castle is an overwhelming expanse of living area.
Included are rooms that were specifically designed for the ladies of the house to entertain or undertake duties such as sewing.
This is one such room, it is poorly lit and on the main source of light is through this window.
It is more commonly referred to as Iandra Castle, in fact its proper title is Mount Oriel Homestead & Pastoral Estate.
The gracious homestead is located near Greenthorpe which is situated off the Grenfell road and is a mere 30 minute road trip from Cowra.
Greenthorpe is a village situated close to the homestead and was built by the then owner of the then owner George Henry Greene.
Greene established the village for tenants. The village remains today.
Based on a feudal style estate modelled on the English Manor System Iandra Castle was established from 1878-1911 and has not been replicated anywhere in Australia.
Today this magnificent Edwardian Estate is open to the public on specific days throughout the year. Coach parties are welcome but only by prior appointment.
Greenthorpe, New South Wales, Australia.

Ardnamurchan, Scotland. I set out to try and replicate one of Michael Macgregor's well known scenes on a warmish spring evening with my son. This, and a few others dotted around, is the result. Hopefully you will appreciate the natural beauty of this part of the world with the familiar peaks of Rum and the Sgur of Eigg in silhouette. When we did this it was a very enjoyable hour spent in the Scottish countryside with no midges.

Annibale Carracci (Bologna, November 3, 1560 - Rome, July 15, 1609) - Susanna and the elders (1604) - oil on panel 86.1 x 56.8 cm. Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Rome
L’opera finì presto a Bologna, per poi ritornare col matrimonio fra Violante Facchinetti e Giovan Battista Pamphilj nel 1671. Per il suo carattere edificante ed il lieto fine che lo caratterizza, l’episodio della casta Susanna divenne un tema iconografico ricorrente nel XVII secolo e l’alta qualità del dipinto di Carracci, eseguito sopra una superficie liscia, e l’iconografia raffinata suggestionarono i contemporanei, che ne replicarono lo schema.
The work ended early in Bologna, only to return with the marriage between Violante Facchinetti and Giovan Battista Pamphilj in 1671. For its edifying character and the happy ending that characterizes it, the episode of the Susanna caste became a recurring iconographic theme in the seventeenth century and the high quality of Carracci's painting, executed on a smooth surface, and the refined iconography inspired the contemporaries, who replicated the pattern.

News headlines: Aliens have invaded our planet! They have abducted hundreds of millions of people around the world. They all disappeared at once, in a split second, causing chaos and confusion. The Air Force shot down several UFOs (hobbyist balloons). They even shot down a Chinese spy balloon. Don’t worry: these Chinese spy balloons were also flying over America during Trump’s presidency, but the NWO Deep State never informed him. Quick, rollout Project Blue Beam 2.0 (false flag alien invasion psyops)! We must cover up these strange disappearances. “Welcome to the age of the polycrisis.” “Never waste a good crisis.”

“Nevertheless, the coincidences between some orbital parameters of ‘Oumuamua and IM2 inspires us to consider the possibility that an artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions. These “dandelion seeds” could be separated from the parent craft by the tidal gravitational force of the Sun or by a maneuvering capability. A small ejection speed far away could lead to a large deviation from the trajectory of the parent craft near the Sun. The changes would manifest both in arrival time and distance of closest approach to Earth. With proper design, these tiny probes would reach the Earth or other Solar system planets for exploration, as the parent craft passes by within a fraction of the Earth-Sun separation - just like ‘Oumuamua did.”
“Equipped with a large surface-to-mass ratio of a parachute, technological “dandelion seeds” could slow down in the Earth’s atmosphere to avoid burnup and then pursue their objectives wherever they land.”
“Within a close range to a star, extraterrestrial technological probes could use starlight to charge their batteries and liquid water as their fuel.”
“What would be the overarching purpose of the journey? In analogy with actual dandelion seeds, the probes could propagate the blueprint of their senders. As with biological seeds, the raw materials on the planet’s surface could also be used by them as nutrients for self-replication or simply scientific exploration. It is important to note, that given the time scales associated with the propulsion scheme discussed here, it is unreasonable to assert that the intention of any such probe launched in the far distant past, has anything to do with the human species. More likely, and similar to NASA’s missions – the goal would be scientific and exploratory in nature.”
“Are there any functioning extraterrestrial probes near Earth? We do not know.”
“Consequently, the mothership/probe scenario is more energetically viable.”
“In principle, a multitude of tiny devices can be released from a mothership that passes near Earth.”
“The considerations in this paper imply a useful limit on observations of UAP which bound the hypothetical explanations and can support limitations on interpretations of data.”

Rapture:
“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”
“First, the dead who believed in Christ will come back to life. Then, together with them, we who are still alive will be taken in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. In this way we will always be with the Lord.”
Over the past ten days or so, the Mrs and I were privileged to take part in something of an epic recreation.
The plan, by the adventurous owner of ex Crosville Bristol RELH AFM 105B was to reinact a journey which it undertook brand new in 1965 . . . just about 60 years ago.
Back then it took a party of forty something Crosville employees on an overland journey to the Italian seaside town of Alassio, over a thousand miles distant from its home base of Caernarfon.
We joined the small party on Thursday 9th May and set out to emulate the above as closely as possible in Steve Graham's superbly preserved coach. The only difference in the coach's specification nowadays to back then is that it now has a Gardner 6HLXB rather than a 6HLX which gave it a good deal more grunt.
In this photo the coach is seen posed part way up the climb to the St. Bernard tunnel in Switzerland en route to the Italian border.
