Why do I care so much more
When it's one of ours killed in the war?

When children lose their lives or limbs
All because of political whims

Hardly a single eyelid batted
To hear of tiny souls so shattered

But when it comes to our shore
That's when I start to care much more

So spare a thought for over there
It's everyday that we don't care

See  the hate that this thing breeds
Over there we  plant  more seeds

I choose to belong to the third side
Wrong is wrong, no matter who died

My little corner I've appropriated in the park. I've been really hammering this #juggling  routine recently. I don't think I'll ever be a graceful juggler, I'm in too much of a rush for some reason. 

But I've completed my routine a few times now, once this morning and once at dinner. And in tonight's practice I even added an extra trick, the alarming right, middle, left. (That's a joke that no one will get ;)) I pulled it off but I never caught it on video. This is the closest I got.

Yeah, that look "like I want to kill the camera" that's my face when I'm concentrating, not something you'd want to see down a dark alley, but what can I do? Wear a balaclava?

The smiles are when I fluff something. I'm quite happy with my transition into chops and under the legs but I got the columns wrong, I threw the wrong colour up.W... more »

I love this place, and no one around. Maybe they knew it was gonna rain. I've got a spot in the corner to practice in. I kept hitting the barrier with a club last night. clang! Today someone's moved it. Coincidence? Probably.

Only got half hour in and the rain started. Now it's stopped when I get home.

I'm really looking forward to all the flowers coming out, I suppose the down side is it'll get really busy.

Some more simple magic to entertain your kids.

It's pretty obvious how it's done, but maybe not so much the first time around. And, you can get better at it with a bit of practice.

Remember, never show 'em the same trick twice ;)

RGB Mural

"This whole effect works because of the difference between subtractive and additive colors.
The three colors of lights used are the three primary (additive) colors of light: red, green, and blue.
The paint on the walls is done in the three primary (subtractive) colors:
Magenta (reflects red and blue, absorbs green)
Cyan (reflects green and blue, absorbs red)
Yellow (reflects red and green, absorbs blue)
So based on the above, you can see that, for example, only the cyan images should be seen under red light.
Enough of that, though. Your questions is about how red kicks ass. While I'd have to see the whole thing in person to know for sure, I'd be willing to bet that it's one of two things (or a combination of both).
My first guess is that the colors aren't quite perfect. For the effect to work, you need very narrow bands... more »

Building a #juggling routine. I wonder how many counts of each trick to do before moving on to another.

My left to right back cross isn't right, it's off. Too low or something. It'd be nice to do 'em all though but it's just not happening at the minute.

So I go from nose balance, club balance, poor man's back crosses (whatever you'd call just two), straight into under the legs, then under the legs around the back one club chase, (making these names up), chops and finish with columns and I drop as usual. Maybe throw in some under the net tennis, doubles, tennis, and I don't know, haven't made it that far yet.

The columns need work. Would you believe my pb is over a hundred catches with 'em too. I need to do 'em more often.

I keep getting people adding me. No one ever adds me. Awww.

Thing is, I don't think they're real people. There's quite a few blueheads and most of 'em don't have any (or very few) people that've circled them.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks it's Google trying to make me feel popular.

That's nice of them even, if there's ulterior motives to it.

Plants are the undisputed champions of solar power. After billions of years of evolution, most of them operate at nearly 100 percent quantum efficiency, meaning that for every photon of sunlight a plant captures, it produces an equal number of electrons. Converting even a fraction of this into electricity would improve upon the efficiency seen with solar panels, which generally operate at efficiency levels between 12 and 17 percent.

"We have developed a way to interrupt photosynthesis so that we can capture the electrons before the plant uses them to make these sugars," said Ramasamy, who is also a member of UGA's Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center.

This fascinates me. I thought a bit ago that someone printed the main part for an AR-15 assault rifle. The part actually designated as the weapon by customs (or whoever designates such things). Anyway the main bulk of it or whatever.

This one looks more like a child's toy. Which I suppose is only courting more tragedy.

I wonder what the projectiles are like?

I also wonder about the UK and other countries gangs using them.

We're not there yet, but this just makes me hate gun culture even more.

Had a good #juggling practice tonight. It started to get dark so I got the K8s out. Shame it wasn't darker so they'd show up more.

I put each club into demo mode, pulled off the balance I've been learning, did the back crosses, got lost going from under the legs to round the back and finished with chops.

I should have gone on a bit more and as usual I'm all over the place but I was just happy not to have dropped 'em.

The Biological Basis Of Crime:

An article, by Bob Holmes, in New Scientist says that there is indeed a biological basis to criminality; studies show that identical twins raised apart show similar character and personality traits, and share similar findings in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This forms part of a number of research efforts that use brain scans—and in particular of the prefrontal cortex, the seat of impulse control and decision-making—as a way to both predict and prevent criminal behaviour.
