Some of the most interesting site specific sculpture continues to be produced by highway construction workers.
Vernacular signs— "local, site-specific, handmade or hand-crafted signage produced as a unique piece of art or a small run advertisement..."
Advertisements painted by hand directly onto the brickwork of buildings were once a common sight in cities, towns and villages across the country. The rise of printed billboards soon led to their decline but many still survive, often faded, clinging to the walls that host them. These 'Ghostsigns' provide a window into the past and evidence of the craftsmanship that once went into their production. However, they are disappearing fast, often due to weathering but also as a result of property development and demolition.
Sheridan, WY is lucky to have a good deal of these signs still remaining....
For the site-specific performance piece "Song," Ragnar Kjartansson’s nieces—Ragnheidur Harpa Leifsdóttir, Rakel Mjöll Leifsdóttir, and Íris María Leifsdóttir—reside in the museum’s Hall of Sculpture for three weeks, repeatedly singing a short song that the artist wrote based on a slightly misremembered phrase from an Allen Ginsberg poem. The work embraces the peacefulness of family and femininity embodied by the singers, their voices echoing in the Hall of Sculpture as they sing the central lyric: “The weight of the world / is love.”
"Song" contrasts the warmth and softness of the performers with the hard marble room, while the hall’s casts of famed classical sculptures provide a constant audience. Welcoming and alluring, the performance also verges on the hypnotic, inspiring a strange state of reverie only achieved through endless repetition.

Marek Milde, What You Are, 2007, site-specific, interactive installation for Klapper Hall, text by Walt Whitman, wallpaper, tape, dust
“What You Are” is interactive site-specific installation, that draws on the historical identity of the site. Text gradually appears on the floor according to the intensity of the visitor’s movement, and the amount of dust brought in to the gallery on their shoes.
The piece “What You Are” reveals a part of hidden history related to Klapper Hall, Art Department of Queens College, New York, formerly the Walt Whitman Building. Renovating and redefining of the building in the 1950's covered the connection to poets presence on the site.
Walt Whitman instructed students in 1839- 40, in a building called the Jamaica Academy, on the present campus of Queens College. Walt Whitman Building the former English Department housed also the poets museum before it’s relocation to his birth house in Long Island.
more : www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET SCENES/paumanok/pomonok.html
I wanted to rediscover this part of a history, which lies under the surface of this site. And seek for the context within the covering structure of the architecture.
The piece “What You Are’” uses fragments of Walt Whitman’s poem ”American Feuillage”, 1860, from the collection “Leaves of Grass”.
“ O lands! all so dear to me — what you are,
( whatever it is, )
I become a part of that, whatever it is “
Walt Whitman’s poetry addresses the theme of identity and place. Suggesting a concept of site created by internalizing a place. New place the vision of future America is created out of connection and relationship between person and place.
My installation creates a space that encourages visitors to be involved, connected and part of the place and its history. As participants’ presence and activity accumulates in to the patterns a new landscape emerges, revealing the poem hidden under the surface.

Site Specific: The Legacy of Regional Modernism is a film created by Metropolis magazine and Matthew Kohn.
At a time when designers and architects are thinking more and more about sustainability issues in their practices, they often ignore or are ignorant of past examples, such as the important work done by the Sarasota School in the days when architects naturally built to climate.
Paul Rudolph's Riverview High School is a case study, a beautiful expression of climate sensitive architecture. This film advocates a thoughtful evaluation of the building and the ideas designed into the school such as day-lighting, natural ventilation, sun-screens, and shade-giving plantings.

Air Quality Testing How is your air quality in your home Toronto
Interpretation of Mold Spores from Air Test Results
What is the Acceptable Level for Indoor Mold Spores Testing Result - Guide for mold count levels: acceptable and unacceptable?
One of the highest accepted methods of assessing indoor air quality testing and its effects on all building's occupants iare usually the analysis of indoor air quality testing samples. Often these types of air samples are acquired using portable vacuum pumps that are calibrated to pull airflow through a tube at a specific volume of air per minute. The airflow that is pulled into the pump is trapped in a specially made cassette that contains an adhesive slide. Fungal, bacterial spores, airborne particulate that matters are deposited into the adhesive slide, which is then are analyzed under a microscope.
The analysis of these mold spore tape slides can provide results relatively accurately quickly because the samples don't require culturing or growing fungal spores. However, produce spores that are very similar as to not be distinguishable by visual from analysis alone and are grouped together, e.g., Aspergillus/Penicillium. And still, other mold spore types lack identifiable characteristics and do get counted as the part of the larger group, such as Ascospores and Basidiospores.
Typically, all fungus spores assessment of indoor air quality takes into account not only the analysis result of the indoor air samples but also the comparison of these bacterial spore results to all levels of fungi and other airborne in an outdoor air sample. Bacterial spore count levels in indoor air samples most generally should be lower than levels in outdoor air quality samples. Indoor bacteria spore counts that usually are lower than outdoor spore counts; however, we do not automatically indicate that usually the indoor air quality testing is acceptable. High-level counts of individual types of spores count of the total spores in indoor air quality samples may indicate fungus mold growth inside buildings. The conclusions are that indoor mold growth is occurring might be strengthened further if mold spore flowering bodies – called hyphae – they also are identified in the indoor air sample.
There are many other types of considerations to keep in mind when comparing outdoor comparison spore counts to indoor spore counts. The outside aerobiology is not always constrained because of the variable from the change of outside weather. For example, in the winter seasons, the spore count is always low outside samples. Similarly is in rainy weather causes spores to get washed away or tamped down from outside surfaces, resulting in a lower spore count in air samples. Also, in a warmer weather, the evaporation process can as well cause mold spores to rise in the air. Outside air quality has less influence on indoor air quality, on more energy-efficient buildings as well as people's tendency do sometimes leave windows closed and rely use on indoor air conditioning. As a result, when particular species of mold spores – Stachybotrys / Chaetomium, for example – are found in indoor samples cassettes, even in a low count, their presence indicates a seriously high level of indoor mold issue because these mold spore types are not found in outdoor samples.
Definitions
Raw Spores Count – the number of mold spores actually identified and counted on the adhesive air sample slideSpores per Cubic Meter (Count/m3) – calculated by raw spore count x (1000/(rate of air test sampling) x (sampling test time)The Total Background – Amount of particulate matter fragments present on the slide; graded from 1-5 to 1 being very little, while other debris ratings of 5 are unreadable. The higher the rating the most likely spores may be underestimated and overlap with background particulates.
Conclusion
Fibrous Particulate – Fibrous particulates can mostly come from many different sources, including clothing, floor textiles, building materials, and other paper products. They often are introduced into the air due to turbulence forces and do friction applied into these materials. Improperly cleaned or maintained airflow ventilation sometimes increases the distribution of fibrous particulates.
Skin particulates – the dead skin cells either from humans or pets. Dead skins are continually shed by all the inhabitants of a home. Thousands type of cells per day slough off from each person and into the living environment. Of course, also pets shed lots of dead skin cells. Skin cells gradually do push their way into the top layer. When they do reach the top, they die and are "weathered" by the environment from people's daily activities.
Particulate matter (PM) – and skin particulates can sometimes be inhaled into the lungs where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. They are a respiratory irritant and this can cause many pulmonary effects such as coughing, respiratory illnesses, bronchitis, lung disease, these symptoms increase airway reactivity and exacerbation of asthma. Particulate matter also are thought to have direct effects to the heart (EPA 2008c). Recent mortality studies have shown many times a statistically significant direct association between mortality and daily concentrations from particulate matter in the air space. Numerous of many studies link PM to many varieties of health effects, which include aggravated asthma, increases respiratory symptoms (irritation of the difficulty breathing, airways, coughing,), and decreases lung function in young children.
Hyphal fragments – Hyphae are small fragments from the mycelium of a mold. Mycelium is a mass of hyphae, this are vegetative of the body portion of the mold. It is very common to find numbers of hypha fragments in outdoor air quality testing and possibly in indoor dust. Their presence in the indoor air quality samples are in a high quantity or as large segments do indicate active mold growth in the building. If the conditions are suitable, the hypha fragments begins to grow and eventually lead to mold spore production.
Indoor air mold standard – There is no state or federal statutes or regulations yet regarding molds and disturbed indoor air quality. Acceptable levels for the individual from mold species since bacteria species toxicity varies highly as do the spore sizes, the weight, and other features that can affect the risk to building occupants. However, many public agencies make various publications regarding mold contamination on indoor air quality available for the public. Aspergillus / Penicillium in a "clean" residential building studies ware at a mean of 230/m3; Aspergillus / Penicillium in buildings are known to have moisture and or flooding problem was at 2235/m3; Aspergillus / Penicillium in mold-contaminated buildings was at 36,037/m3.
The publication, From American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (Air Quality Testing Sampling Instruments for Evaluation of Atmospheric Contaminants 1995), they recommended from the following guidelines:
100 cfu or less for cubic meter of air quality disturbed usually indicates low risk.100 cfu to 1000 cfu for cubic meter of air quality disturbed usually indicates intermediate risk.1000 or more cfu for cubic meter of air quality disturbed usually indicates a high risk.
Many people still believe that spore count of 40 Stachybotrys or Chaetomium spores/m3. The air quality testing disturbed would be unusually high as this mold contamination is usually not normally airborne. Conversely, a count of 199 Aspergillus sp. spores/m3. The air quality in the same circumstances might be considered very clean.

BSL (breed specific legislation) is back on the table in Florida... damn it.
State Rep Perry Thurston has introduced a bill to the senate to reverse current state level laws prohibiting local municipalities from passing BSL. If this passes individual cities in Florida could take it upon themselves to pass BSL. BSL is a joke and it doesn't work. BSL is a lazy band aid put on by the government so the public thinks they are taking action. It only serves to intensify negative stereotypes and punish good dogs and there responsible owners. It is not the answer...
Please read this if you have questions about what BSL is and who it hurts.
AND!!! IF YOU LIVE IN FLORIDA... Please visit this site to send a letter.
The bottom line for me is... If this passes I could be forced to muzzle Abby whenever we are out in public. Can you imagine what that does to reinforce the image of what "bad dogs" look like to uninformed people. Worse still, dogs like Abby could be removed from their homes and destroyed simply because they are labeled an aggressive breed.
The Allied Council represented an institution of the Allied Occupation Period (1945-1955) in Austria, created by the First Allied Control Agreement. The stabilization of the position of the occupying powers held there meant the creation of an Allied Commission consisting of the Allied Council, an executive committee and departments for various areas as well as specific institutions in Vienna (the Vienna Inter-Allied Command and the Inter-Allied Military Patrol). The Allied Council, due to its composition of Soviet, US, British and French allies, can to a certain extent be seen as a reflection of the "great politics" in post-war Europe.
It was composed of four commanders-in-chief, the military commanders of the Allies, who were called High Commissioners from the Second Allied Control Agreement (June 1946). These were the supreme authority in matters relating to the whole of Austria and acted upon instructions from their respective national governments. In addition, each member of the Allied Council held the highest power in the respective occupation zone. At the beginning of the occupation, Marie Emile Béthouart represented the French, Richard McCreery the British, Mark W. Clark the American and Ivan S. Konev the Soviet occupying power.
As head of the Allied Commission, the Allied Council was entrusted with the task of ensuring Austria's independence from Germany, enabling free elections and the establishment of an Austrian central administration, as well as taking over these until then.
In addition, as a result of the First Control Agreement, the Allied Council had to unanimously accept all the laws passed by the Austrian National Council. This changed only through the Second Control Agreement - now a unanimous veto was needed to prevent the entry into force of laws. Thus, the Allied occupying powers were able to significantly influence the policy in Austria at least until the Second Control Agreement and set their own priorities - such as in the denazification of Austria.
The meetings of the Allied Council took place for the time being in the headquarters of the Soviet, US and British Allies in Vienna: in the Hotel Imperial (1, Kärntner Ring 16), the headquarters of the Soviet Union, in the building of the Austrian National Bank (9, Otto-Wagner square 3), the headquarters of the United States, and the Schönbrunn Palace (13, Schönbrunn Palace street), which represented the headquarters of Great Britain. Later, the seat of the Allied Council was in the House of Industry (3, Schwarzenberg square 4, April 1946-July 1956 Stalin square 1). There also took place its first official meeting on September 11, 1945. The meetings took place on the 10th, 20th and 30th of the month and from the 25th of April 1946 every second and fourth Friday of the month. The presidency changed monthly, resulting in the following rhythm: the United States held the leadership in January, May and September, Britain in February, June and October, France in March, July and November and the Soviet Union in April, August and December.
The Allied Council existed until the end of the occupation in 1955.
Der Alliierte Rat stellte eine Einrichtung der Alliierten Besatzungszeit (1945-1955) in Österreich dar, die mit dem Ersten Alliierten Kontrollabkommen geschaffen wurde. Die dort festgehaltene Festigung der Stellung der Besatzungsmächte bedeutete die Einrichtung einer Alliierten Kommission, die neben dem Alliierten Rat an der Spitze aus einem Exekutivkomitee und Abteilungen für verschiedene Bereiche sowie spezifischen Institutionen in Wien (die Wiener Interalliierte Kommandantur und die Interalliierte Militärpatrouille) bestand. Der Alliierte Rat kann aufgrund seiner Zusammensetzung von sowjetischen, US-amerikanischen, britischen und französischen Alliierten zu einem gewissen Maß als ein Abbild der "Großen Politik" im Nachkriegseuropa gesehen werden.
Er setzte sich aus vier Oberbefehlshabern, den Militärkommissaren der Alliierten, die ab dem Zweiten Alliierten Kontrollabkommen (Juni 1946) Hochkommissare bezeichnet wurden, zusammen. Diese stellten die oberste Gewalt in Angelegenheiten, die sich auf ganz Österreich bezogen, dar und handelten nach Weisungen von ihren jeweiligen nationalen Regierungen. Zusätzlich hatte jedes Mitglied des Alliierten Rates die höchste Gewalt in der jeweiligen Besatzungszone inne. Zu Beginn der Besatzungszeit vertrat Marie Emile Béthouart die französische, Richard McCreery die britische, Mark W. Clark die US-amerikanische und Ivan S. Konev die sowjetische Besatzungsmacht.
Als Leitung der Alliierten Kommission war der Alliierte Rat mit folgenden Aufgaben betraut: Diese bestanden darin, die österreichische Unabhängigkeit von Deutschland zu gewährleisten, freie Wahlen und die Errichtung einer österreichischen Zentralverwaltung zu ermöglichen sowie diese bis dahin selbst zu übernehmen.
Zudem musste der Alliierte Rat infolge des Ersten Kontrollabkommens alle vom österreichischen Nationalrat beschlossenen Gesetzen einstimmig akzeptieren. Dies änderte sich erst durch das Zweite Kontrollabkommen – nun war ein einstimmiges Veto nötig, um das Inkrafttreten von Gesetzen zu verhindern. Somit konnten die alliierten Besatzungsmächte die Politik in Österreich zumindest bist zum Zweiten Kontrollabkommen maßgeblich beeinflussen und eigene Schwerpunkte – wie beispielsweise in der Entnazifizierung Österreichs – setzen.
Die Sitzungen des Alliierten Rates fanden vorerst in den Hauptquartieren der sowjetischen, US-amerikanischen und britischen Alliierten in Wien statt: Im Hotel Imperial (1, Kärntner Ring 16), dem Hauptquartier der Sowjetunion, im Gebäude der Österreichischen Nationalbank (9, Otto-Wagner-Platz 3), dem Hauptquartier der USA, und im Schloss Schönbrunn (13, Schönbrunner Schloßstraße), welches das Hauptquartier von Großbritannien darstellte. Später befand sich der Sitz des Alliierten Rates im Haus der Industrie (3, Schwarzenbergplatz 4; April 1946-Juli 1956 Stalinplatz 1). Dort fand auch seine erste offizielle Sitzung am 11. September 1945 statt. Die Zusammentreffen erfolgten an jedem 10., 20. und 30. des Monats sowie ab 25. April 1946 jeden zweiten und vierten Freitag des Monats. Der Vorsitz wechselte monatlich, so dass sich folgender Rhythmus ergab: Die USA stellten im Jänner, Mai und September die Leitung, Großbritannien im Februar, Juni und Oktober, Frankreich im März, Juli und November und die Sowjetunion im April, August und Dezember.
Der Alliierte Rat bestand bis zum Ende der Besatzungszeit 1955.

Egypt
Lead
The cavalry unit of a Lusitanian (Portuguese or Spanish) regiment stationed in Egypt rode camels as well as horses.
Non-citizen auxiliary regiments were usually raised in the Roman provinces from a specific ethnic group, but could be redeployed across the empire where new recruits were sourced locally. This accounts for camel riders (dromedarii) – a speciality in Egypt – joining the Lusitanian ranks. This little lead camel was probably a toy.*
From the exhibition
Legion - life in the Roman army
(February – June 2024)
From family life on the fort to the brutality of the battlefield, this exhibition experienced Rome's war machine through the people who knew it best – the soldiers who served in it.
Few men are born brave; many become so from care and force of discipline.
Vegetius, Fourth-century Roman writer
The Roman Empire spanned more than a million square miles and owed its existence to its military might. By promising citizenship to those without it, the Roman army – the West's first modern, professional fighting force – also became an engine for creating citizens, offering a better life for soldiers who survived their service.
Expansive yet deeply personal, this exhibition transported you across the empire, as well as through the life and service of a real Roman soldier, Claudius Terentianus, from enlistment and campaigns to enforcing occupation then finally, in Terentianus' case, retirement. Objects included letters written on papyri by soldiers from Roman Egypt and the Vindolanda tablets – some of the oldest surviving handwritten documents in Britain. The tablets, from the fort near Hadrian's wall, revealed first-hand what daily life was like for soldiers and the women, children and enslaved people who accompanied them.
Roman military history perhaps stretches as far back as the sixth century BC but it wasn't until the first emperor, Augustus (63 BC – AD 14), that soldiering became a career choice. While the rewards of army life were enticing – those in the legions could earn a substantial pension and those entering the auxiliary troops could attain citizenship for themselves and their families – the perils were real. Soldiers were viewed with fear and hostility by civilians – not helped by their casual abuses and extra roles as executioners and enforcers of occupation – and they could meet grim ends off, as well as on, the battlefield. Finds in Britain, featured in the exhibition, included the remains of two soldiers probably murdered and clandestinely buried in Canterbury, suggesting local resistance.
What did life in the Roman army look like from a soldier's perspective? What did their families make of life in the fort? How did the newly-conquered react? Legion explored life in settled military communities from Scotland to the Red Sea through the people who lived it.

For the site-specific performance piece "Song," Ragnar Kjartansson’s nieces—Ragnheidur Harpa Leifsdóttir, Rakel Mjöll Leifsdóttir, and Íris María Leifsdóttir—reside in the museum’s Hall of Sculpture for three weeks, repeatedly singing a short song that the artist wrote based on a slightly misremembered phrase from an Allen Ginsberg poem. The work embraces the peacefulness of family and femininity embodied by the singers, their voices echoing in the Hall of Sculpture as they sing the central lyric: “The weight of the world / is love.”
"Song" contrasts the warmth and softness of the performers with the hard marble room, while the hall’s casts of famed classical sculptures provide a constant audience. Welcoming and alluring, the performance also verges on the hypnotic, inspiring a strange state of reverie only achieved through endless repetition.

5. Southern blot analysis of the root-specific gene GOS9 in indica (IR36) and japonica (T309) plants and T309 cell suspensions. Total DNA was extracted from roots and green tissues of 10-d-old plantlets and from cell suspensions. 3 μg DNA was digested with Eco RI (E), Bam HI (B), Hin d III (H), Eco RV (V), Pst I (P), or Sac I (S) (panel A). In panel B, results for 2 cell suspensions (S 2 and S 3 ), T309 leaves (L), and roots (R) are shown. Patterns of independently initiated suspensions were identical (S 3 was a gift from E.C. Cocking, University of Nottingham; S 2 was initiated at Leiden). After electrophoresis, DNA was blotted and hybridized with a 32 P-labeled cDNA clone in pBluescript corresponding to half of the second exon and the entire third exon of the gene. M = lambda DNA digests used as marker. For further details, see previous figures.

In my visual art's course, I was studying the installation site-specific piece "The Spiral Jetty", which heavily inspired my site-specific piece. Ein-El-Sokhna is where all the beach houses are located, where we've got to build sandcastles as children and swim and collect shells. It is well known for the variety of sea creatures, beautiful rocks, pebbles and shells found on its beaches. I have created this installation piece on the beach aiming to share with the audience the nostalgic feeling of building things on the beach, while also aiming to portray the simple beauty of the place by using left-over muscle shells, from a seafood dinner, and connecting them with pebbles I found on the beach. The spiral represents the golden ratio, as it is ac mathematical pattern that's found throughout many natural sources. It signifies beauty, the shape has been inspired by the spiral jetty by Robert Smithson, as it also aimed for its audience to reconnect and show how it developed in connection to natural occurrences.
28 August 2021 - Rabi’e Bada’am from FAO Implementing Partner BCHR speaks on the radio in Mukalla in Hadramout governorate to raise awareness about COVID-19. Radio-based spots and programmes for COVID-19 sensitization complemented site-specific posters, brochure and flier distribution, in-person trainings, and provision of face masks.
The radio component of the awareness raising campaign took two forms. “The first was through broadcasting outreach sessions about COVID-19 protection measures and the impact of this pandemic on people’s living conditions. The second form was through broadcasting a number of short radio spots at different times throughout the day,” said Bada’am. “Thanks to these methods, many people were educated on COVID-19 prevention measures.”

This tiny but lovely little orchid is growing on a branch overhanging the edge of a bank, making getting close a difficult propositiion!
Photographed at Zealandia
Earina mucronata is one of 3 orchid species of 10 in the genus which are endemic to New Zealand. The specific epithet means "pointed" and refers to the shape of the tips of this orchid's very narrow leaves. The leaves are arranged alternately in one plane along a flattened, unbranched pseudobulb which can grow up to 1 m in length but which is generally shorter. As in most Monocotyledons the base of each leaf is extended into a leaf sheath which completely encircles the stem, in this species they are greatly elongated and extend the full length of the internode. The sheaths are 2 or 3 mm wide and in contrast to those of Earina autumnalis they are difficult to pull off. Another key distinguishing feature of this species are the tiny, ubiquitous black spots which cover the leaf sheaths as well as many of the leaves themselves - these are notably absent in autumnalis.
This species flowers during spring and early summer; the peak months are from October to December. The flowers are produced en-masse on a branched raceme. The sepals, petals and column are usually white or cream, and the labellum is usually yellow, though white, apricot and orange coloured forms are sometimes encountered.
This species is generally epiphytic but occasionally grows as a lithophyte. Its distribution extends across the 3 main islands of New Zealand (the third being Stewart Island/Rakiura) and eastwards to the Chatham Islands.

With the aging of the Grumman S-2 Tracker and the increasing effectiveness of Soviet submarines, the U.S. Navy issued a requirement for a new carrier-based ASW aircraft. Lockheed won the contract, partnering with LTV to design carrier-specific equipment and Univac to design the ASW suite. The resulting S-3A Viking took its first flight in January of 1972 and entered the fleet in February of 1974.
Unlike its predecessor, the S-2, which integrated the hunter-killer team concept into a single airframe, the S-3A Viking took a major leap forward by completely computerizing the sub-hunting process. It integrated the entire sensor suite into a single system, which wasn’t possible on the S-2. This was made possible by the Univac AN/AYK-10 computer, the Texas Instruments AN/APS-116 radar, and the AN/ASQ-81 MAD sensor mounted on a retractable tail boom. Flown by a crew of four (three officers plus one enlisted), the S-3 Viking was so efficiently designed that it was even hailed as one of the most compactly designed aircraft in history by one aviation historian.
The S-3A—nicknamed "War Hoover" for the sound of its engines and the vacuum cleaner brand—acquired a reputation for being a reliable, easy-to-fly aircraft, and spawned many variants, including the US-3A carrier-onboard delivery (COD) transport aircraft and the ES-3A Shadow Elint variant. A dedicated KS-3A tanker never went into production, but S-3s were increasingly equipped with buddy refueling packs. When the KA-6D Intruder dedicated tankers were retired from the U.S. Navy in the mid-1990s, the S-3s took over the role. However, their relatively slow speeds meant they could not accompany strikes into enemy territory. Despite this, the S-3 could carry not only antisubmarine ordnance such as torpedoes and depth charges but also bombs and, later, the AGM-84 Harpoon antiship missile and the AGM-65 Maverick AGM. The S-3's anti-ship capabilities were used in both Gulf Wars: in 1991, an S-3 sank an Iraqi attack boat with conventional bombs, while in 2003, another S-3 destroyed an Iraqi command post with a Maverick in Basra.
Beginning in 1991, all S-3As in service were modified to S-3B standards. This involved significant upgrades to the avionics and the installation of a new APS-127V synthetic-aperture radar, which gave the S-3B enhanced ship detection and SAR capabilities. Though the ES-3A was withdrawn from service in the mid-1990s, several S-3Bs were converted to littoral reconnaissance (Gray Wolf) and ground surveillance (Brown Boy) roles. With the reduction in submarine threats to the U.S. Navy, the S-3 fleet was gradually being retired; those remaining in service had their ASW equipment removed and served primarily as tankers. The final carrier-based S-3B squadron, VS-22 ("Checkmates"), was decommissioned at NAS Jacksonville on January 29th, 2009. Sea Control Wing Atlantic was decommissioned the following day, along with the last remaining S-3Bs in frontline fleet service.
However, this wouldn’t be the case for long. In June of 2010, the first of three S-3Bs to patrol the Pacific Missile Test Center's range areas off of California was reactivated and delivered. The jet’s high speed, ten-hour endurance, modern radar, and a LANTIRN targeting pod allowed it to quickly confirm the test range was clear of wayward ships and aircraft before any testing occurred. These S-3Bs were flown by Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Thirty (VX-30) based out of NAS Point Mugu, CA. By late 2015, the U.S. Navy was operating the Vikings primarily in support roles. One was relocated to The Boneyard in November of that year, while the other two were retired. Their role has been largely replaced by the SH-60B/F Seahawk series, and aside from a handful of aircraft used for testing purposes, the S-3s were finally retired from USN service in January of 2016.
This S-3B, BuNo 159766, was originally built as an S-3A and delivered to the U.S. Navy in 1975. It served with many different carrier air wings throughout its career, though it was converted to S-3B standards in the 1990s. During the Gulf War, it took part in Operation Desert Storm and flew with Sea Control Squadron 32 (VS-32, "Maulers"). The aircraft was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 1 aboard USS America (CV-66) during its Persian Gulf deployment. After the Gulf War ended, it became part of Sea Control Squadron 37 (VS-37, "Sawbucks"). Interestingly, in the early 1990s, it was the only S-3B modified to "Outlaw Viking" standards, with the OASIS III over-the-horizon airborne surveillance system; it operated similarly to the USAF E-8C JSTARS, providing a carrier battlegroup with an integrated overview of the battle area. The OASIS system could also target missiles if necessary.
The Navy decided not to adopt the OASIS system, and 159766 was returned to S-3B standards in 1998. It was then documented at NAS North Island being assigned to Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) during its integration aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63). Later on in its career, the aircraft was transferred over to Sea Control Squadron 41 (VS-41, "Shamrocks") at NAS North Island. VS-41 was the Fleet Readiness Squadron (FRS) responsible for all S-3 Viking crew members. Following its retirement from active fleet service, it was struck from the Navy’s inventory and donated to the USS Midway Museum in 2004, where it has remained on display ever since. When I saw it during my visit in March 2025, it was painted in the distinct high-visibility marking scheme and military code (NJ-741) from its last training unit.
However, even though the aircraft was mostly retired from military service, not all were grounded. At NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, one S-3B was being used daily as a flight research aircraft. It was one of four aircraft acquired in 2004 and flown for the next 17 years on a wide variety of research missions. NASA’s S-3B Viking was completely reconfigured in 2006 for flight research purposes. All weapons systems were removed and replaced with civilian avionics, GPS, and satellite communications systems to conduct flight communications research. One of its major contributions was in helping NASA’s aeronautical innovators define communications standards that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can apply to unmanned aircraft systems to ensure safe operation in U.S. airspace.
This S-3B has conducted research flights over every type of terrain encountered in the U.S. national airspace, including mountains, hills, bodies of water, plains, and deserts. The results of this research have given NASA, the FAA, and its commercial partners a path to building secure, reliable command-and-control radios for communication between the ground and unmanned aircraft systems. NASA’s S-3B, N601NA (BuNo 160607), also flew research flights to monitor algal bloom growth in Lake Erie and developed hyperspectral imaging equipment to provide more accurate data for university scientists studying the problem. These hyperspectral imagers, mounted to the Viking’s belly, analyzed a wide spectrum of light to identify the types of harmful algal blooms in the water. This aircraft was retired in July of 2021, thus making it the last airworthy Viking anywhere in the world. This aircraft is now preserved at the Gillespie Field Annex, which can be found nearby.
In specific, Holy Week is the week just before Easter that extends from Palm Sunday until Holy Saturday and marks the last week of Lent. It has earned the name 'Holy', according to the Orthodox Church, due to the significant events that take place for Christianity in regard to the sufferings of Jesus Christ.
Saturday evening is filled with the anticipation of celebrating Easter Sunday. In some areas, people begin to gather in the churches and squares in cities, towns and villages by 11pm for the Easter liturgies. A few minutes before midnight, all the lights are turned off and the priest exits the altar holding candles lit by the Holy Light, which is distributed to everyone inside and outside the church. At midnight, the priest exits the church and announces the resurrection of Jesus. Many people carry large white candles called lambada, and the church bells toll as the priests announce “Christ is Risen!” at midnight. Each person in the crowd replies with a similarly joyous response.

Professor Dave Worsley is leading a project - called SPECIFIC - looking at how buildings can capture, store and release their own energy.
"At SPECIFIC we're developing smart coatings for building materials: coatings that will allow buildings to generate, store and release their own heat and electricity using energy from the sun.
Buildings account for around a third of global carbon dioxide emissions, and electricity distribution systems are under increasing stress as demand for power rises.
By generating and storing energy from a renewable source at the point of use we can go a long way to addressing the significant challenges our energy systems are facing.
I'll be talking about some of the innovative coating technologies we're developing at SPECIFIC, and exploring the challenges we face in bringing such innovative ideas to market."

Hotel Vereggaria has attracted many renowned personalities, and this is the reason why the hotel is also known as “the hotel of kings”.
To be more specific, at the beginning of the 20th century (1931) Pharouk, the king of Egypt, and Ezer Vaisman, the president of Israel resided at Vereggaria. The name of the hotel is also reminiscent of royalty, as Vereggaria was the name of the queen of Navarre, wife of Richard Lionheart. The royal couple got married in Cyprus.
It is worth mentioning that Vereggaria obtained positive reviews and this is shown in the visitors’ book, in which the “Cypriot hospitality” and “natural beauty” of its surroundings are praised.
The renovation and reopening of the Vereggaria hotel aims to boost the tourism of Prodromos and the surrounding area of Marathassa and hence, its economy. Hotel Vereggaria will be the ideal solution for everyone that appreciates winter resorts throughout the year.
The president of Salamis Tours Ltd., Mr. Vassos G. Hahjitheodossiou, aspires to bring this time-honoured hotel back to life, as this would signify the preservation of our “cultural heritage”.
It is worth mentioning that the architectural design of the hotel will be conserved and preserved, in order to protect “its historical form” and importance. However, the hotel will be renovated so as to satisfy the needs of all guests and provide them with all (modern) comforts.
The reopening of Vereggaria will enhance and upgrade the quality and quantity of tourists, as far as one of the greatest Cypriot resorts are concerned. Hotel Vereggaria will certainly be one of the main attractions of the island.

A further tour to Fourvière, Lyon, France for a specific visit of l'Antiquaille on October 20, 2022. I did also a new Kodak Tri-X film with my Zorki-4K camera and its Jupiter-8 1:2 f=50 mm normal lens.
The Zorki was loaded with the Kodak Tri-X (TX) exposed for 400 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadows. After exposure the film was processed at 20°C using Tetenal Ultrafin developer at dilution 1+10 for 9min.

After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
After several films, and the range finder adjusted, I found the Zorki-4K very pleasant to use. The camera is clearly very reliable and the film smoothly advanced and rewound. I equipped the lens with a FOCA UV-protection filter (Made in France) and the hood of my Focaflex. All views are presented either framed or full-size.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)
