Some might consider this carbon offsetting, saving the planet or a health kick.
To a degree they would all be right because I think that we do have a responsibility to consider the impact of what we do and I really have more high tech toys than I need, even if I might have less than most around here.
It's also a fact of nature that while where I live is relativly flat, the garden centre wit the cheapest bird food in 20 kg sacks is also at the opposite side of the highest hill around here which is why I chose the mountain bike instead of the fixie and yes I was forced to resort to the lowest granny gear on the way back.
It was also a nice day for a ride, but the real reason for it was not carbon offset but personal fuel use offset. I am in the position of having two partners, a form of polyamory if you like, and I like to spend time with the one that I don't live with. Since the distances involved are greater than my current fitness levels it means using the car. So I try when I can to walk or cycle journeys that I might have otherwise used the car for and so offset the fuel I use for being with my other partner (and any other personal running around). I do this because fuel comes out of the common budget with live in partner so it's not really fair to do anything else.

The Cornish Air Ambulance (Eurocopter / Airbus Helicopters EC135) seen parked at Newquay Cornwall Airport. This airframe - G-KRNW - has been with the charity for 13 years and operates using the callsign 'HELIMED01'. The Cornwall Air Ambulance was interestingly the first helicopter operated air ambulance in the UK (beginning in 1987 using a Bo105), hence the callsign and makings on the airframe.

“The UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General, David Shearer, visited Bunj in the Upper Nile region of South Sudan to view first-hand the damage caused by violent demonstrators who attacked UN agency and humanitarian compounds on 23 July 2018.
The violence resulted in the destruction of vehicles, food stores, medical, water and fuel supplies as well as offices and accommodation for hundreds of humanitarian personnel who provide life-saving assistance to refugees and the host community in the area. Most humanitarian personnel were relocated out of the area due to the security threat.
The SRSG, who is also the Designated Official responsible for security for all UN personnel in South Sudan, said that the damage inflicted was “horrific” and that those responsible for the attacks had put the wellbeing and lives of local communities at risk due to the loss of vital aid and assistance.”

Most clever marketing of any band, EVER. It completely appeals to my music business sense. I'm in love.

Activists set up a blockade to stop a coal train en route to Duke Energy’s Marshall coal plant May 3, 2012 and branded it with the Apple logo. The train is carrying coal extracted from the mountains of Appalachia using the most destructive form of mining, mountain top removal. Mountaintop removal coal will be burned at the Marshall coal plant, sold to the North Carolina grid, and will eventually be used to power Apple’s Maiden, NC data center, currently under construction.

Bacteria are invisible to the naked eye, but occur everywhere in our environment. You can find them in the air, in the soil, in water, in ice, in plants, in animals and humans. Even though only a small percentage of the bacteria found in nature can cause illness in humans, their image is extremely tarnished.
Yet many bacteria carry great potential. While bacteria are increasingly used in the food industry for fermentation processes, they could also play an important role in the textile industry. They could not only be used to neutralize toxins from dye-polluted waters, but also in the process of dyeing itself.
Through this project, we demonstrate the possibilities of bacterial pigments for dyeing textiles in different colors, shapes and patterns, and illustrate the presence of bacteria in our environment by revealing their colors. The combination of this resource-saving and environmentally friendly dyeing method with new technologies opens up completely novel possibilities to make the world not merely more colorful – more blue, or yellow, or red – but also “greener“ and more sustainable.

Since my laptop could not handle half the content of a can of beer (the pussy) and stopped working, I took out all the precise tools I have here in Japan and started my quest to save the SSD harddrive... will look for a case tomorrow.

Saving Forgotten Warriors At Sweet Tater Festival
We spent a few minutes with Jeremy Hogan and Trent Winstead of Saving Forgotten Warriors at this weekend’s Sweet Tater Festival at Smith Lake Park.
The pair had their spacious booth set-up at the far corner of the festival. They were a big drawn with lines going as far as 15 people deep.
Beyond the profound goals of the organization and their heroic efforts on behalf of military veterans in Cullman, their booth featured a water dunk tank. This watery attraction was simply too much to resist for many festivals goers. At $1 per throw, Saving Forgotten Warriors was able to generate substantial donations to support their cause.
In this interview, both Jeremy and Trent explain the reasons Saving Forgotten Warriors exists and how they plan to continue to move forward into the future.

St Peter, Prickwillow, Cambridgeshire
An 1860s bootscraper, made by a local blacksmith no doubt, at the abandoned church of St Peter.
The war memorial of this tiny parish has more than thirty names on it, including two members of my Cross family ancestors. The memorial sits in the middle of the village beside the River Lark, where it must have been the pride of generations. Behind it stood the village shops, the post office, the pub and, opposite, the church: but the shops, post office and pub are now all closed, and the church has been abandoned to vandals and the elements. The village is now little more than a commuter settlement for Ely, straggled along a busy road. Only the war memorial remains unchanged.

Peking out meager existence on routes difficult to serve by steam ships that required vast amounts of coal, these tall ships and the sailors sailing them were the last of their breed. Sailed in the traditional way with few labor saving devices or safety features, her sailors worked four hours on and four hours off 24 hours a day for the entire length of the voyage, sometime for more than a hundred days in a row.
Made famous by the sail training pioneer Irving Johnson, his footage filmed on board during a passage around Cape Horn in 1929 shocked experienced Cape Horn veterans and landsmen alike at the extreme conditions Peking experienced.
She was in Valparaiso at the outbreak of World War I, and was awarded to Italy as war reparations. She was sold back to the original owners, the Laeisz brothers in 1923, and continued in the nitrate trade until traffic through the Panama Canal proved quicker and more economical.
In 1932, she was sold for £6,250 to Shaftesbury Homes. She was first towed to Greenhithe, renamed Arethusa II and moored alongside the existing Arethusa I. In July 1933, she was moved to her new permanent mooring off Upnor on the River Medway,where she worked as a children's home and training school. She was officially "opened" by HRH Prince George on 25 July 1933. During World War II she served in the Royal Navy as HMS Pekin.
