For my Honey bees on named flowers set

  

I have put an easy to search spreadsheet of the whole set of honey bees on named flowers here:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-_uJANb_oKgIZLEvm0mFjYq3W...

 

I need to work on making the URLs in the spreadsheet clickable. I will arrange a consultation with one of my kids I think. I hope they will be slightly impressed that I got this far with the shareable google docs spreadsheet all by myself! - got this sorted i think - by making each photo URL a separate row in excel rather trhan bunching them together in one cell. Seems to work now. No consutaltion with kids required!

Enjoy. Why not? Of course you will. I know, you know it.

Thanks to Plantaholic Sheila for the identification of the plant.

 

An impressive shrub/small tree in full flower in Mount Stewart at present.

 

I could see that quite a few bees were working these flowers but not entering the tubes but instead feeding through the side of the flower, On closer inspection it was easy to see that there were holes in the side of the tubes of almost every flower, presumably made by other insects. The honey bees were taking advantage of these as a way of getting to nectar that they would not otherwise have had access to. "nectar robbing"

I spent an enjoyable 15 minutes on Saturday chasing bees with the camera on a single but very striking clump of this herbaceous perennial in the walled garden at Rowallane.

 

A superb plant, and makes for a very summery look in April.

Only large, human, randomized placebo-controlled trials in our data scrape – wherever possible. No animal trials. No cell studies.

 

We looked at the abstracts of over 1500 studies on PubMed (run by US National Library Of Medicine) and Cochrane.org (which hosts meta-studies of scientific research). It took us several months to seek out the evidence – or lack of.

Here, after arriving at Sheringham for their Steam Gala Event and Travelling to Weybourne Station, I get a photo of Loco 92203 - "Black Prince", a Riddles designed, Swindon Works built - BR Class 9F - 2-10-0 which is on the way back to Sheringham.

 

There were 6 Locomotives in Steam for the Gala Event Sunday.

You know that feeling when you've created a spreadsheet, then spent hours entering data from a paper copy? Then, after a few hours, you think "that's not right". So you investigate, and find out that you haven't been given all the sheets? So now, you need to go through every month, checking if there is missing data?

 

And you lose the will to live?

 

That.

 

I needed a break from the computer. I had a cream cake for afternoon tea break, but needed to wash up first.

 

I've got another task now, so tomorrow will be yet more data entry. Oh, and there is no elegant way to eat a chocolate eclair!

Here's the last of my rescaled cargo wagons. The base was extended by 7 studs from 54 to 61 studs when compared to my previous design (www.flickr.com/photos/152818020@N02/44314636911/in/datepo...). The overall hight was decreased by half a plate to align the buffers with the base. I also increased the width of each plate between the ribs from two studs to three studs. Each rib with also widened from one vertical plate to two. The number of plates with ribs decreased from 22 to 16 per side, which is closer to the 18 on the real wagon. Another goal of this redesign, was to decrease the overall mass of the wagon. I'm probably going to set up an excel spreadsheet to obtain the total mass of the wagon from the index of parts and the mass of each part obtained from brick link. I will post a link to the spreadsheet as soon as I complete it.

A Quick Trip to see the Victor and Vulcan together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the .Victor and Vulcan together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.

 

Here, 403 - "Victor" has just run round and is about to haul the train I catch to the Percy Main end of the approximately 2 mile long line.

A Day Trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for the Saturday of a 3 day Steam Gala,

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

There were 2 Visiting Engines and some of 5 of the Home Fleet Locomotives scheduled to run on an intensive timetable.

 

Here, on my first Steam Heritage Railway Visit of 2022, just outside Keighley Station is Taff Vale no 85, a Riches designed and Kitson built Class 02 - 0-6-2T locomotive.

 

I think by the amount of Smoke and Steam Taff Vale 85 is banking a Shuttle service to Ingrow West ready to lead the train back down to Keighley without the need for a run-round at Ingrow West. On the right hand side of the photo there is smoke and steam from the leading loco which is almost certainly Ivatt No 41241.

Spreadsheets to write, then data to input. But first, important stuff. Nails to paint and coffee to drink!

This was taken at the intersection of Thompson & Houston.

 

***************

 

This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.

 

That's all there is to it …

 

Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.

 

Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.

 

As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"

 

A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."

 

As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"

 

So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".

 

Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"

 

Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.

 

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com

 

Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...

f1 diecast model with dolls house grass for the background and a picture of tarmac stretched onto an excel spreadsheet with the red and white curb stripes just red spreadsheet cells. did a shot like this before I owned a flash. did this as I wanted to see the comparison

Vertical voids carved into sandstone, narrow as if air itself has to queue. Stripped of detail, the wall is a spreadsheet made of stone: rows, columns, nothing human left in it. Photographing it straight-on pushes the point; it is architecture that refuses to listen.

A Day Trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for the Saturday of a 3 day Steam Gala,

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

There were 2 Visiting Engines and some of 5 of the Home Fleet Locomotives scheduled to run on an intensive timetable.

 

Here, on my first Steam Heritage Railway Visit of 2022, no. 46100 "Royal Scot", which was built for the LMS at Derby Works, is running round the train at Keighley Station.

An article on the status and future of Flickr, are we worried?? I am, when I think about the time and effort we have put into creating our photo databases, with all the links and comments. I really hope Flickr survives me!

www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/technology/31flickr.html?_r=1

Other than the recent support on Twitter, Yahoo’s top executives have barely mentioned Flickr publicly for some time. Few top executives actually have a public Flickr account.

 

No one questions Flickr’s appeal to photographers who post, admire and comment on a wealth of artistic images, many of which are magazine quality. Where Flickr is faltering is with people who want to store and share more mundane snapshots.

 

A Blog on what Flickr can do for you..

 

planetbotch.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/flickr-vs-photo-blog-...

  

Convenient for sharing with friends, Facebook offers free unlimited storage and an increasingly competitive product..... But a pain for photos and ease of adding comments, and no searching for MetaData.

How much data should I ....keep or delete

See from a link below..

I don't understand why Flickr tech group hasn't introduced human computation concepts to its tagging strategy. Name comes to mind and starts with a "C" and ends with a "APCHA" and how Google used this to tag images in search. No offence, but images are binary data and you are trying to apply computation learning - which is nowhere near accurate, despite any AI models. Anyway, combination of human computational game theory into image identification and using our mushy brains for something that silicon cannot in the same fashion. Cognitive learning, man. You are so behind the learning curve.

Preserve Flickr/SmugMug for ever....

www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157720519776877/

When Flickr was acquired by SmugMug in 2018, it was a mission of preservation: our tens of billions of photos, hundreds of millions of photographers, and millions of thriving communities were coming dangerously close to not existing online, and that was unacceptable. So we joined forces with SmugMug, and we’re all the stronger for it.

 

Today we’re announcing some upcoming changes to our Terms of Service that will help us continue to preserve the art, expression, history, stories, and memories of all Flickr members for the next hundred years. These changes fall into two distinct buckets, and will affect Flickr free members. The first change relates to restricted and moderate content. (You might call it NSFW, or explicit, or other terms, but we’ve gone ahead and defined them for Flickr here... www.flickr.org/

A Photo from last Day of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

After an overnight in Doncaster, I went to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) for a trip up the 1 in 49 from Grosmont to Goathland.

 

Here, at Grosmont Station, 5428 - "Eric Treacy" a Stanier designed and Armstrong Whitworth in Newcastle built for the LMS Loco is arriving from Whitby and about to go up the 1 in 49 incline to Goathland Station.

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

Here, after arriving at Holt Station on the front of the Class 9F Double-Header, I got a photo of Riddles designed and North British, Glasgow built Loco WD 90775 "The Royal Norfolk Regiment" joining 8572 to form another Double Header.

 

There were 6 Locomotives in Steam for the Gala Event Sunday.

An afternoon Trip to the Tanfield Railway for an Tea Train journey which started at East Tanfield and going along the whole line via Causey Arch, Andrews House and to Sunniside Stations and Return to East Tanfield.

 

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

"Horden" is an 0-6-0ST built in 1904 by Andrew Barclay as Works No 1015 for the colliery work and later taken over by the NCB and it worked at Horden Colliery. and some other Durham Coast collieries.

A Photo from Day 3 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

The Swanage Railway runs trains from Norden via Corfe Castle, another station and a halt to Swanage Station or the other way round so there is some very pleasant scenery to look at and photograph when travelling along the line.

 

There is ample car parking at the Norden end of the line so I started there.

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 2 trains running both hauled by Steam Locomotives.

 

Here, 31806, a Maunsell designed SR U Class 2-6-0 loco has just run round the train to get ready to go back to Norden.

To the ancient Egyptians, a lotus bud or sesen was a symbol of rebirth. It closes in the evening and falls to the water, but in the morning it opens and is lifted above the surface. Its behaviour emulates that of the sun. Because of this rising and setting, it is also a symbol of death and rebirth. According to one creation myth, a giant lotus emerged from the watery chaos at the beginning of time. Out of its centre, the sun itself rose on the first morning. However, this plant is not likely a true lotus but rather a waterlily.

 

Lotus Car

Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports and racing cars based at Hethel, Norfolk, England. The company designs and builds race and production automobiles of light weight and high handling characteristics.

 

Lotus Software

Lotus Software (called Lotus Development Corporation before its acquisition by IBM) is an American software company with its headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lotus is most famous for its groundbreaking Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application, which was the first killer app in the early days of the IBM PC and which helped spread the adoption of the PC. Thanks to Ray Ozzie's Iris Associates, it also developed one of the more powerful groupware systems, Lotus Notes. IBM purchased the company in 1995 for $3.5 billion, primarily to acquire Notes and to establish a presence in the increasingly important client-server computing segment, which was rapidly making host-based products like IBM's OfficeVision.

A Photo from Day 6 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record but unfortunately I didn't get any journeys on this day.

 

The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) runs trains along a 16 mile Heritage line from Kidderminster station to Bridgenorth station .Highly is one of the stations along the line and there is The Engine House Museum there.

 

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 4 steam Locomotive running on various Steam Excursions where due to Covid19, Compartments were being sold to families and there were some tables for groups of 2 or 4 people but nothing really suitable for the solo traveler.

 

Here, in The Engine House museum very near Highley Station I took this photo of 46443, an Ivatt designed and Crewe Works built for the LMS, Class 2MT - 2-6-0 loco.

According to both batterymillx’s in-progress Target Store List and this CNN article, the Poplar/240 Target opened in March 2009, which makes it the newest Target store of any of the Memphis-area locations. (Olive Branch is the next newest, having opened in July 2008.) My photos of the store come from a visit on January 4, 2018. This stour was unplanned, and thus isn’t too terribly substantive; if I’m remembering things correctly, we were simply killing some time here, after arriving at the shopping center so I could take some pics of the vacant Staples store nearby. But sometimes the best stours are unplanned, so I hope you’ll enjoy this one!

I have been sickly nowadays and also very busy making arrangement for my mother's assistant living home. Yesterday, she finally moved to the assistant living home about 200 miles from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear plant. I still need to do some legal works for my mother. I hope I will be able to reunite with my family in the U.S.A. soon.

 

The situation of nuclear disaster here is getting worse.

 

On April 19th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) notified the Board of Education and related institutions in Fukushima Prefecture to raise annual radiation exposure limit from 1mSv to 20 mSv.

 

20 mSv per year is comparable to the legally recognized dose for inducing leukemia in nuclear power plant workers. It is also comparable to the maximum dose allowed for nuclear power plant workers in Germany.

 

If the government allows 20 mSv per year for the children. Most likely many of them will get thyroid cancer in the future like the children in Chernobyl.

 

Dr. Ira Helfland: There really is no safe level of radiation Children are much more vulnerable than adults
