The face value of one ounce of gold is 50 dollars. One ounce of gold today is 1,500 dollar bills. That'll buy 400 gallons of gas at 3.75 a gallon. An ounce of gold today will buy 400 gallons of gas. If an ounce of gold was only worth 50 dollars (which is it's face value, it's printed on the coin) then a gallon of gas would cost .125, that's twelve and a half cents. The Federal reserve is the one and only reason for the gas prices.
The Federal Reserve (which is not federal and has nothing in reserve) operates on numbers, not money. If our currency was worth it's face value a 50 dollar bill would buy a one ounce 50 dollar gold coin. Today it takes 30 fifty dollar bills to buy one (1oz.) 50 dollar gold American Eagle. This is what we get for allowing the privately owned company called "The Federal Reserve" to create what we use as money out of nothing but ink and paper. Paper is not money. That's why a dollar bill is called a "dollar BILL". It's a bill (receipt) for a dollar. The problem is that the actual dollar of gold (or silver) doesn't exist in the federal reserve system. A dollar bill is a warehouse receipt from an empty warehouse.
The Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express or Federal Mogul. It's just a name invented by the banksters in 1909 to fool the people into thinking that it's a United States Federal entity and Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve act into law in 1913 turning over all of America's economy to a group of private bankers (banksters) that run it for their own profit, not America's.
People and birds were invited to relax with one another in the art installation entitled Welcomed Guests. Ten functional seats, with attached birdhouses, were placed in Red Hook by artist Atom Cianfarani. He used locally found materials, such as burgundy barrels and recycled plastic lunch trays, to create the unique birdhouses. The North Fork Vineyard and Winery provided the wine barrels and Added Value provided access to water via the Red Hook Community Farm. The artwork transformed the public space into a seating area between IKEA, the community farm, and a local park.

For a "Bokeh" photo session, Lyon, France, on June 27, 2023, I used my 1971 Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP fitting the Zenit Helios 44M-6 lens 1:2 f=58mm.
I used a color film Kodak Gold 200 and the 36-exposure film was exposed for 200 ISO. Exposures were determined using a Minolta Autometer III light meter fitted with a 10° finder.
Jardin Botanique de Lyon, June 27, 2023
Parc de la Tête d'Or
69006 Lyon
France
After exposures the film was processed by a local lab service using the C-41 process. The film was then digitized at 24MP using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.

About the camera body :
This Asahi Optical Company (originally (旭光学工業株式会社, Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-Gaisha) SLR was sold to its first owner on December 11, 1971.
The ASAHI PENTAX Spomatic SP was produced in Japan from 1964 to 1971. This exemplary was sold to me on July 25, 2022 after complete servicing of the camera with the beautifully conserved user manual, the original international warranty card, and a booklet describing the ASAHI PENTAX system.
The camera is equipped with its original normal lens Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 1:1.8 f=55 (M42 mount), a ASAHI PENTAX Skylight 49 mm filter, the original shade hood in a small leather case, the neck leather strap and the body half ever-ready case only. The two CdS photoresistors are still operated by a functionnal circuitry that is not sensitive by conception to the voltage difference between the original mercury (1.35V) and nowadays available silver-oxyde (1.55 V) batteries. This simple circuitry operates only with the closed diaphragm and gives matching values to a silicon Minolta Autometer III lightmeter.
About the lens:
This Helios 44M-6 is the normal lens fitted of my KMZ Zenit 122 circa 1994. using the M42 mount is the multi-coated version 6 of the Helios 44M manufactured in 1997 at Юпитер, (Оптико-механический завод «Юпитер» , "Jupiter") Valday, Novgorod region.
My exemplary of Zenit-122 was produced in 1994 by the Russian company KMZ (Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. Zenit-122 were also manufactured by BelOMO factory. From 1990 to 2005, about 2 millions of Zenit-122 were overall produced. The camera is built on the tough previous Zenit chassis and uses the same curtain Leica-type shutter with no slow speeds. The body is cased with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styren) thermoplastic. Zenit-122 is equipped with a two CdS cells for light metering (25-400 ISO) using a LED indicator in the viewfinder.
"All truth and knowledge is important, but amidst the constant distractions of our daily lives, we must especially pay attention to increasing our gospel knowledge so we can understand how to apply gospel principles to our lives. As our gospel knowledge increases, we will begin to feel confident in our testimonies and be able to state: I know it.'" (Anne M. Dibbs). Model Kelsey Garry. (Photo by Karen Petitt)

Gypsum from the Quaternary of Oklahoma, USA.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6000 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The sulfate minerals all have one or more sulfate anions (SO4 -2).
Gypsum is a moderately common hydrous calcium sulfate mineral (CaSO4·2H2O). Gypsum has a nonmetallic luster, is usually clearish to whitish, is soft (H≡2), and rather fragile/brittle. Gypsum has 3 cleavage planes, one of which is well developed (“one good cleavage), and the other two are not well developed (“two poor cleavages”). Broken gypsum specimens are frequently thin plates - the consequence of the one good cleavage plane. Unbroken crystals show monoclinic symmetry.
Gypsum has economic value as a mineral. It is the starting ingredient for making plaster and wallboard.
The specimen shown above is an polycrystalline mass of intergrown gypsum crystals from Oklahoma. Many refer to such things as "selenite", which is an unnecessary junior synonym of gypsum. Selenite differs in no way from gypsum. Selenite is gypsum. Use of the term "selenite" should be discouraged.
This Oklahoma gypsum formed by evaporation of rising groundwater that is rich in dissolved minerals ultimately derived from dissolution of ancient evaporite rocks. Sediments through which the groundwater percolated have become incorporated in the gypsum (click on the photo to zoom in and look around).
Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site at Great Salt Plains, northwestern Oklahoma, USA

Ora auspico che la giustizia faccia il suo corso applicando rigorosamente le leggi. Se si arriverà a un processo, il Ministero della Cultura si costituirà parte civile”.
Lo dichiara il Ministro della cultura, Gennaro Sangiuliano, che aggiunge:
"Intanto, prosegue l'iter in Parlamento del disegno di legge presentato dal Governo per fare in modo che chi oltraggia il nostro patrimonio ne risponda in prima persona anche dal punto di vista patrimoniale. Chi danneggia paga".

2). ROME - 'Ivan and Hayley' revealed! Tourist who carved his name into Colosseum wall is a fitness instructor who lives in Bristol (and Italian police would like to have a word with him…). Daily Mail, U.K., (29/06/2023).
Bulgarian born Ivan, 27, [= Ivan Dimitrov, 27, allegedly] was in Rome with his long-term girlfriend Hayley Bracey - Rome officials were furious at the vandalism and vowed to track the culprit down.
In a statement released this afternoon a spokesman for the Carabinieri said: 'Following investigations, subsequent to the complaint presented by the Colosseum Park Authority, the Carabinieri of the Command of Rome Piazza Venezia, coordinated by the Public Prosecutor of Rome, have identified, through traditional investigations and photographic comparison, the person seriously suspected of be responsible for engraving his own name and that of his partner, at the Colosseum, filming the scene, then published on social media.
'The Carabinieri have ascertained that it is a couple, man and woman, residing in England.
'It should be noted that the proceeding is in the preliminary investigation phase, therefore the suspect must consider himself innocent until a final sentence is issued.'
Meanwhile in a statement Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said: 'I am grateful to the Arma dei Carabinieri for having promptly identified the alleged perpetrator of the uncivilized and absurd act committed at the Colosseum.
'An act that has offended all those throughout the world who appreciate the value of archaeology, monuments and history.
'Now I hope that justice will take its course by rigorously applying the laws. If it comes to a trial, the Ministry of Culture will appear as a civil party'.

3). ROMA - È un personal trainer il ragazzo che ha inciso sul Colosseo il suo nome e quello della fidanzata inglese - La coppia, secondo il Daily Mail, vivrebbe alla periferia di Bristol, a Keynsham. La Repubblica (29/06/2023).
La coppia, secondo il Daily Mail, vivrebbe alla periferia di Bristol, a Keynsham.
LONDRA. Eccolo, il turista che ha sfregiato il Colosseo incidendo sui muri millenari dell’Anfiteatro Romano i nomi “Ivan and Hailey, 23”. Ebbene Ivan, ossia colui che si è macchiato dell’oltraggio che potrebbe costargli carissimo, sarebbe il 27enne Ivan Dimitrov: un ragazzo bulgaro nato a Roma. Mentre Hailey sarebbe la fidanzata inglese Hayley Bracey, 33 anni.
A sostenerlo è un’esclusiva del Daily Mail. Ivan Dimitrov, che avrebbe anche un secondo cognome (Hawkins), sarebbe un fitness trainer che lavora a Bristol e che in passato ha fatto anche il fattorino. Hayley Bracey, invece, avrebbe un’azienda nel settore dell’alimentazione sportiva. I due, sempre secondo il tabloid, vivrebbero alla periferia di Bristol, a Keynsham, non lontano dalla palestra Longwell Green dove Dimitrov lavora.
La coppia però al momento non si troverebbe in Inghilterra. Secondo alcuni muratori ascoltati dal Daily Mail che stanno lavorando a casa di Dimitrov e Bracey i due “sono andati via la scorsa settimana e non torneranno prima di 15 giorni. Ci hanno detto che stanno girando l’Europa”.
Una fonte dei carabinieri dall'Italia conferma al tabloid: “Sono entrambi residenti nel Regno Unito, abbiamo identificato l’uomo, non ancora la donna. Il primo è di origine bulgara, la seconda britannica”. La madre di Harley smentisce: “Non è possibile, mia figlia non può aver fatto una cosa del genere, non lo farebbe mai”.
