Globalization and universality do not go together. Indeed, they might be said to be mutually exclusive. Globalization is the globalization of technologies, the market, tourism and information. Universality is the universality of values, human rights, freedoms, culture and democracy. Globalization seems irreversible; the universal might be said, by contrast, to be disappearing. At least as constituted as a system of values at the level of Western modernity, which is something that has no equivalent in any other culture.

-- Yes, an end of the roll shot. Just messing around with the lens wide open at MFD. Always impressed with these old single coated, non-ai Nikkors on B&W film -- sharp enough w/o being too sharp, and nice, smooth bokeh. Not a lot of experience with Nikons, but I've had a couple of these Nikkor-O's in the house over the last decade and they've all performed well. Still one of the great values out there.
It’s been a while since I posted a real moc but here it is, this was built for the Dark Times Group which I highly suggest you check out if you haven’t already. I am happy to say that this is the moc I am most proud of so far! I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Story:
Arkus Noraga received word from one of his underworld intelligence sources of a possible store of Jedi artifacts on Batuu. The contact provided Noraga with the coordinates of a small insurgent cell located in the hills a short journey from Black Spire outpost. In hopes that the locals that formed the insurgent cell would have more specific information on the whereabouts of Jedi artifacts and the imperial occupation of Batuu, Noraga payed a visit to these rebels. Noraga smuggled with him highly valued weaponry through the imperial forces surrounding Batuu to bring the insurgent group in hopes it would encourage them to hand him the information he needed to have a more than successful business trip on Batuu.
Noraga landed 3 clicks south of the insurgent base and moved in on foot so as not to startle the rebels into any unfavorable decision making. The journey on foot took the smuggler through one of Batuu’s many jungles. As he journeyed north towards the rebel base he noticed several looming petrified grey trees, the ancient giants referred to by the locals as spires. The rest of the vegetation in the jungle consisted primarily of green trees that clung to the rocks and grew up wherever possible, almost encasing everything they could.
After a little under an hour of walking Noraga reached the rebel hideout, after lugging the crate of weaponry onto their platform he noticed that the platform appeared to be constructed from some clone wars era ship or machinery, it was old but sturdy and some of the components were still visible. The rebel base was set back in a rock face, it had the green foliage growing up around and threatening to swallow it, from above it wasn’t surprising that the base was so hidden.
The insurgents seemingly appeared on the platform from around the sides of the outpost, clearly having another secret entryway. Upon their seeing the weaponry and hearing the explanation the smuggler had to give they were more than accepting of his terms, they honestly seemed on board with anything that would cause the empire trouble.

Sand dunes border the beach at The Pinery Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
Pinery Provincial Park was initially reforested with red and white pine trees giving the park its name. However, the area is not naturally a pine forest; the natural ecology is a very rare oak savanna. Only later was the true value of the natural ecology recognized, and the health of the oak savanna is now promoted.

Holy Prophet Elijah (Mar Elias) was filled with zeal for spreading the word of Holy God. He lived during the reign of King Achab (875-845 BC). His actions are in the First and Second Books of Kings in the Old Testament of the Bible.
The year of the birth of Holy Prophet Elijah the Thesbite (Mar Elias) is unknown. It is certain that he lived in the first half of the 9th century BC, as he was a contemporary of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.

Our Daily Challenge - Value - 10/7/14
In reality the mitigation of moral laws—to the extent it is not illusory—can represent an intrinsic superiority only on two conditions: first, that it confers a concrete advantage on society; and second, that it is not obtained at the cost of what gives meaning to life; respect for the human person must not open the door to a dictatorship of error and baseness, to the crushing of quality by quantity, to general corruption and the loss of cultural values, for if it does so it is, in relation to the ancient tyrannies, merely an opposite extreme and not the norm. When humanitarianism is no more than the expression of an over-valuation of the human at the expense of what is divine or the crude fact at the expense of truth, it cannot possibly be counted as a positive acquisition; it is easy to criticize the “fanaticism” of our ancestors when one has lost the very notion of saving truth, or to be “tolerant” when one derides religion. Whatever the morality of the Babylonians may have been, it must not be forgotten that certain kinds of behavior depend largely on circumstances and that collective man always remains a sort of wild animal, at least in the “Iron Age”: the conquerors of Peru and Mexico were no better than Nebuchadnezzar, Cambyses, or Antiochus Epiphanus, and one could find analogous examples in the most recent history. Religions can reform the individual man with his consent—and it is never the function of religion to make up for the absence of this consent—but no one can bring about a fundamental
change in that “thousand-headed hydra” which is collective
man, and this is why nothing of the kind has ever been the aim of any religion; all that a revealed Law can do is curb the egoism and ferocity of society by channeling its tendencies more or less effectively.
The goal of religion is to transmit to man a symbolic, yet adequate, image of the reality that concerns him, according to his real needs and ultimate interests, and to provide him with the means of surpassing himself and realizing his highest destiny; this destiny can never be of this world, given the nature of our spirit. The secondary goal of religion—with a view to the principal goal—is to make possible a sufficient equilibrium in the life of the collectivity or to safeguard within the framework of the natural malice of men a maximum of spiritual opportunities; if society must be protected against the individual, the individual for his part must be protected against society. There is endless talk about “human dignity”, but it is rather too often forgotten that “noblesse oblige”; dignity is invoked in a world that is doing everything to empty it of its content and thus to abolish it. In the name of an indeterminate and unconditional “human dignity”, unlimited rights are conceded to the basest of men, including the right to destroy everything that goes to make our real dignity, that is to say, everything on every plane that attaches us in one way or another to the Absolute. Of course truth obliges us to condemn the excesses of the aristocracy, but we can see no reason at all why it should not also confer a right to judge contrary excesses.

Frithjof Schuon: Light on The Ancient Worlds
Derby 'Lightweight' DMU makes a stop at Sellafield in June 1964.
It would seem this is almost certainly a railtour or charter given the number of people milling around.
There is no mention on the SixBellsJuction site but perhaps this is not surprising. An era when all sorts of organisations were organising trips.

It is interesting that Value City is still left intact on this sign. It appears that "Value City" is being used for the furniture store that still exists in this shopping center. It appears that this may have been a Schottenstein (once parent company of Value City) developed shopping center.

Back in 2002 I did a small 4x6 watercolor of a breaking wave on the rocks up at Lake Superior. It is only lately that I have grown to appreciate the value of small watercolors and think I should do some more! This is my most viewed watercolor! (3690 views!)

Montserrat is a multi-peaked rocky range which is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal. This landscape is situated 60 to 70km outside of Barcelona. The travel to this location offers a nice drive via car on the A-2 and C-55 route, however, for those without a car, there is an option to take the public transit using special train service #Canon #Landscape #Espana #Photography #Montserrat #Spain

I've certainly got my money's worth out of this dress, as its probably the most worn of all my wardrobe items. This photo is from the previous Sunday having returned home from a cup of coffee at a local Costa.
One of three photos taken on my afternoon walk in my neighbourhood park in Toronto.

Today's assignment was "value" as in worth, not lightness and darkness. The picture has to be taken on the day for which the assignment is made. The greatest value I could photograph today is nature. I especially love this time of year and the cheeriness of these yellow flowers/weeds that are found nearby. This little stand of yellow usually gets sprayed to kill the "weeds." Sigh.

How many storms one has to go through in his life? How many choices of life one has to make? Does a storm come after a decision is made, or a storm leads to another decision?
What choices lead us to heaven? Why there have to be storms on the road to heaven? Are we on the road to heaven, or to hell? Would there be no storm in heaven? Or, there would be storms in either place?
Life is like a maze that every turn leads us to another maze. More choices of life have to be made after a turn. What guiding us is our faith, and values that we believe in.
We are all sun chaser. We steer our boat through one storm after another. We make turns but we still sail toward our sun. When we touch the sun, some may be burnt to ashes while a few lucky ones reborn like a phoenix.
My father bought this guitar when he was around 14 for less than $5. Although it isn't one of the classics, it hold so much sentimental value to me. He never took lessons but taught himself how to play, and one of his favorite songs was the Johnny Cash classic "Orange Blossom Special". I still smile every time I hear this song and think of my dad playing it on his guitar when I was little.
Due to tremors in his hands, he can't play anymore, but we had a lot of fun over the weekend polishing it and taking a few photos with it. This was one of my faves!
