Reading the boy language is fascinating: when you speak to someone you can trying to understand what's going on in their mind. When you look at other people from far away it can help you to guess what the people are talking about.
I'm still wondering what this man is explaining to the child.
Why you ask? Well... because knowing gang signs makes you COOL! Haha. Or perhaps you are just bored passing quality time with friends at a cafe. Nick, Katy, and Jeremy at Quacks.

For the 2020-21 school year I taught a remote section of kindergarten with 23 students from my home. One of those students was my own son, who was participating in class from his room while I was in our guest room. Please forgive the cheeky title, this was definitely NOT wartime, but it was a VERY different type of teaching and learning for students. We still had fun, we still did the things that kindergarteners do, we just did it a little differently. I think we all learned a lot of things that year, and I carried many of those ideas forward when I returned to the classroom. Normally, I would never have had my own son in class (we have 6 sections of kindergarten), but I’m sure he’ll always remember the year I was his teacher.
This build was a fun chance to reflect on what that year was like, but also catch all the details of what our home looked like at that time. The guest room was filled with teaching materials, while Elliot had a computer in his bedroom along with a plethora of board games and toys (did you spot the LEGO Death Star?) The hinged sections allow several ways to display and view this build.
I recently re-discovered my mom's baby book kept by her father. I'm posting some of the ads from the book dated 1918-1919.
These boots were shot with only one light from a 3/4 back and distant position with a snoot. Mirrors were used to redirect that hard light in 4 different directions back at the boot. Black card was used to block light in specific areas, like the raised shoelace eyes on the top of the boot (too much direct reflection). Finally, the background was put in, which is an abstract glacier piece of art given to me by a friend. Very little light is naturally reflected off the set to light that.
I had a few hours walking through Fraserburgh Harbour capturing as many vessels as I could on 19th April 2018, its a fine busy harbour and when the sun shines you can capture the trawlers etc at their best .
Fraserburgh Harbour is situated in Aberdeenshire in the North East corner of Scotland and is ideally positioned for the fishing grounds of the North and East of Scotland, as well as being in close proximity to the North Sea oil and gas fields and the emerging offshore renewables market. The location also makes it well placed for trade with Scandinavia and the Baltic sea ports.
Google and Wiki have the folowing info on this fine town.
Fraserburgh (/ˈfreɪzərbrə/; Scots: The Broch or Faithlie, Scottish Gaelic: A' Bhruaich) is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland with a population recorded in the 2001 Census at 12,454 and estimated at 12,630 in 2006.
It lies at the far northeast corner of Aberdeenshire, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Aberdeen, and 17 miles (27 km) north of Peterhead. It is the biggest shellfish port in Europe, landing over 12,000 tonnes in 2008, and is also a major white fish port and busy commercial harbour.
History
The name of the town means, literally, 'burgh of Fraser', after the Fraser family that bought the lands of Philorth in 1504 and thereafter brought about major improvement due to investment over the next century. Fraserburgh became a burgh of barony in 1546. By 1570, the Fraser family had built a castle (Fraserburgh Castle) at Kinnaird's Head and within a year the area church was built. By the 1590s the area known as Faithlie was developing a small harbour.
In 1592, Faithlie was renamed Fraserburgh by a charter of the Crown under King James VI. Sir Alexander Fraser was given permission to improve and govern the town as Lord Saltoun. At present this title is still in existence and is held by Flora Fraser, 20th Lady Saltoun and head of Clan Fraser. The Royal Charter also gave permission to build a college and university in Fraserburgh allowing the Lord Saltoun to appoint a rector, a principal, a sub-principal, and all the professors for teaching the different sciences.
A grant from the Scottish Parliament in 1595 allowed the first college building to be erected by Alexander Fraser, and in 1597 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland recommended the Rev. Charles Ferme, then minister at the Old Parish, to be its first (and only) principal.
In 1601, Fraserburgh became a burgh of regality. The college, however, closed only a decade or so after Ferme's arrest on the orders of James VI for taking part in the 1605 General Assembly, being used again only for a short time in 1647 when King's College, Aberdeen temporarily relocated owing to an outbreak of plague. A plaque commemorating its existence may be seen on the exterior wall of the remains of the Alexandra Hotel in College Bounds.
Fraserburgh thereafter remained relatively quiet until 1787 when Fraserburgh Castle was converted to Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Scotland's first mainland lighthouse. In 1803, the original 1571 church building was replaced and enlarged to seat 1000 people. The Auld Kirk was to be the standing authority in the town up until the 1840s.
The Statistical Account on the Parish of Fraserburgh, written between 1791–1799 (probably 1791) by Rev. Alexander Simpson of the Old Parish Church, shows that the population of Fraserburgh was growing with peaks due to seasonal employment. He records a population of about 2000 in 1780 of whom only 1000 resided in the town.
There was an additional population of 200 in the village of Broadsea. He makes a point of the arrival of Dr. Webster in Fraserburgh in 1755 claiming that the population then only stood at 1682. By the time the account was written the population had increased by 518 souls since 1755. Rev. Simpson also gives accounts of deaths, births and marriages. Between 1784-1791, he claims to have an average of 37 baptisms, 14 marriages and 19 deaths per year. The statistical account mentions activities with the harbour. He describes the harbour as small but good, telling that it had the capability to take vessels with '200 tons burden' at the time the account was written.
The account also mentions that Fraserburgh had tried and succeeded in shipbuilding especially after 1784. His account finishes speaking of a proposed enlargement of the harbour. He claims that the local people would willingly donate what they could afford but only if additional funding was provided by the Government and Royal Burghs.
The second statistical account, written as a follow up to the first of the 1790s, was written in January 1840 by Rev. John Cumming. He records population in 1791 as 2215 growing to only 2271 by 1811, but increasing massively to 2954 by 1831. He considered the herring fishing, which intensified in 1815, to be the most important reason for this population boom. By 1840 he writes that seamen were marrying early with 86 marriages and 60 births in the parish in the space of one year. On top of this increased population, he explains that the herring season seen an additional 1200 people working in the Parish. There is also mention of the prosperity of this trade bringing about an increase in general wealth with a change in both dress and diet. Cumming also records 37 illegitimate children from 1837–1840 although he keeps no record of death.
The prosperity of the economy also brought about improvement within the town with a considerable amount of new houses being built in the town. The people were gaining from the herring industry as in real terms rent fell by 6% from 1815 to 1840. Lord Saltoun was described as the predominant land owner earning £2266,13s,4d in rents.
This period also saw the extension of the harbour with a northern pier of 300 yards built between 1807–1812 and, in 1818, a southern pier built by Act of Parliament. Cumming states that no less than £30,000 was spent developing the harbour between 1807 and 1840 by which time the harbour held eight vessels of 45–155 tons and 220 boats of the herring fishery.
A railway station opened in 1865 and trains operated to Aberdeen via Maud and Dyce, as well as a short branch line to St. Combs. It was, however, closed to passengers in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts, though freight trains continued to operate until 1979, after which the station site was redeveloped. Currently, the closest operating station is Inverurie, 56 km (35 miles) away.
Climate[
Fraserburgh has a marine climate heavily influenced by its proximity to the sea. As such summer highs and winter lows are heavily moderated, with very mild winter temperatures for a location so far north. The differences between seasons are very narrow as a result, with February averaging highs of 6.7 °C (44.1 °F) and August 17.2 °C (63.0 °F).[6] As a result of its marine influence, there is significant seasonal lag, with September being milder than June and October has slightly milder nights than May, in spite of a massive difference of daylight. The climate is overcast and wet with 1351.8 hours of sunshine. Temperature extremes have ranged from 26.6.C (July 1995) down to -14.4.C (February 1991) 747.7 millimetres (29.44 in) of precipitation per annum.
Near to my hotel in Siem Reap , Cambodia was a small Buddhist temple ...not on the usual tourist route. So when I had a few moments on my own ,I thought that I would sneak in & have a `nose` around the area. It was a proper little community there, with amongst other things, a lesson taken place in a veranda classroom. I learned later that it was a lesson in Japanese. When the students saw me they smiled & wanted to have a chat .....the monk teacher didn`t seem to mind at all. In fact he happily posed for my picture.

This week I've had my younger sister staying with me in my student digs for a few days. Since I'm not in university again yet, I have some spare time on my hands! I've been indulging in photography as much as I can this summer and, I think somebody around me has caught the bug!
So after helping her choose and purchase her first camera a month or so ago, I went out with my sister this week to the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield to help her do some practicing. She's very talented naturally anyway so, after a few pointers she was on her way! Really enjoyed giving her tips and watching her enjoying photography :)

Chris thought it would be a good idea to give buck a salt lick Chris took buck into the stables and showed him the salt lick buck pricked his ears up and started stairing at the salt lick *look buck mmm tastes nice* Chris said as he went to the salt lick and licked it Chris made a face in disscust as he hated the taste he sat on the salt lick buck walked over to the salt lick and gave it a lick buck enjoyed the taste and started licking some more on the side he couldnt lick the top as Chris was sitting there Chris started to get smaller and smaller untill he was the size of a fly buck was enjoying the taste so much he noticed Chris was not sitting on the salt lick so he lowerd his head and started sliding his tongue across the salt lick Chris saw the giant tongue and started running for his life from the giant tounge he will never get away there is no hope for him
